It's easy to apply and it looks just great on my Edge. Just make sure there is no dust left on the screen before applying the screenprotector.
It took an unacceptably long time to arrive, - more than 3 months !
However the product lives up to the hype and does an excellent job. Fitting was straightforward and after a couple of days, fully cured and functional. It provides a pleasant soft - touch, perfect response, and fit. I would recommend this protector.
The pho be case arrived quickly and was well packaged.
I have bought several screen protectors and nothing seemed to work for me but that changed when I bought the BodyGuardz screen protector it helped massively and I'm very happy with it can finally relax knowing I have a great protector for my screen, s7 edge BodyGuardz Screen Protector is highly recommended .
These clear screens are always a pain to apply, but the gel provided for wet application helps enormously. This has stuck well over the Edge curves with no peeling (though some adhesive has gathered slightly, but it's not unsightly). If you aren't happy with your current screen protector, this is worth shelling out on.
Beware not fit for purpose !!!!!!
Brand new handset straight out the box used gel method edges came away after 24hrs total waste of money do not purchase !!!!
Despite using the gel I couldn't get it to apply without bubbles (used two of these). This may be my deficiency in not getting it right but my experience is that it doesn't work.
It was a little fiddly to get onto phone, but once on, looks good.
Tried so many different protectors when I first got my phone, this is the only decent one. My phone had to be repaired and they changed the screen, this was the first one I went for this time around.
This Screen protector is basically good for protection against scratches. however, unlike the tempered glass it would not withstand impact.
I am not complaining anyway because it was the only one that could work with a back case for my S7 Edge.
Surched high and low for a good quality screen protector and found mobile fun. Read lots of reviews about several ones and decided to choose bodyguardz ultra tough I have been very pleased easy application choice the gell method which turned out very successful.
ON ORDERING the product I was told it was out of stock but the customer service team were extremely helpful all through the delay process and even offered to upgrade the postage so that when it was back in stock I would receive it far quicker. I can say that next time they will be my first port of call as I was very satisfied with the way that it was dealt with.
So I hope this is a reassuring review and will help others in purchasing a product from this company.
Have been searching for a screen protector for a while that would actually stay on the phone without the edges catching on the case. This one does the job and keeps the screen free from scratches.
After following the instructions exactly and cleaning everything properly, the gel method still doesn't allow time to reposition without lifting up and getting dust under. Also it only covers half the edge! Rubbish. Ripped it off.
Easy to fix to handset using silicon.
The screen cover went on well and seems to be fair quality but it was evident as soon as I put it on that it would not go to the very edge of the curved S7 Edge screen. Probably about 5-8mm too small. Not happy as the packaging says it will cover whole screen.
I've read/watched a lot of reviews before buying this protector. One can understand why. So I took a dive and bought it. It was easy to apply using the gel provided. You get a video tutorial as well.The protector just glides so you can adjust. It doesn't cover the edges so you feel it when sliding left or right. Screen is still responsive. No bubbles. It fits well with the Spiglen Neo Hybrid.
I have recently ordered BodyGuardz Ultra Tough Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Screen Protector and I am over the moon as I could not find any bubbles and the product was amazing. My earlier screen guards purchased are hard to put on phone with out bubbles and its frustrating to get rid of them. I am very happy I found right product for my phone.
Make sure to clean the phone screen properly before applying the screen protector. Once applied, it actually takes a couple of days for the protector to properly stick to the screen and become crystal clear. It looks dodgy at the start but after 2 days, it's perfect.
I fixed it on with the gel method and it looks really good and fits well. You can just feel the edge of protector but you'd have to be heavy fingerd to lift it off. Overall a good product that can be used with my view case, perhaps a tad expensive, time will tell.
Not a good screen protector at all for the top end price, already coming away at edges after just a couple of days, very disappointed.
I ordered this on the reviews and video. I used the gel method which was very straight forward and easily slips into place. But just recently I had to replace my phone.
For my insurance purposes the phone shop decided to try to smash the screen with a mallett. Wrong idea. They made numerous attempts to smash the screen and it wouldn't break. They had to resort to removing the screen protector in order to smash the screen. This is why I am going to reorder for my new phone. Well worth the money.
Not great for the price you pay!
For some reason the wet application did not work for me, I left it overnight and did not stick at all, very disappointed. I used the normal application after and it worked just fine and looks good now. won't buy it again tho.
I used the gel method of applying the protector and thought it was great. A few days later, bubbles started appearing on the edges and dirt started collecting under the sides. I feel like I've wasted my money.
Was at my wits end looking for a reasonable screen protector that was easy to apply and case friendly. Watched Mobiles Fun's video on YouTube and decided to give it a try and have to say that following all instructions for the wet application it was quite easy. Any slight imperfections were totally gone the next morning and I really happy with my purchase and would recommend this screen protector.
I have applied a lot of screen protectors over the years and find the whole process frustrating - trying to get the air bubbles out, failing, peeling back and re-sticking only to find dust has got under it and then spending the next 2 months obsessing over the imperfections I can see all over the screen until I replace it with another to go through the whole process again! Not with this one. The gel application is brilliant. I was apprehensive at first but you just have to dive in and apply as per the instructions. The gel means you can slide it into exacly the right place. Smooth out the excess gel and once dry the screen is clear, bright, feels well protected and no air bubbles or deris stuck underneath it! Doesn't feel rubbery either like some of the wet apply protectors (that also show dents or nail marks in their surface). Worth every penny.
I found this to be a good screen protector for the S7 edge. It doesn't completely cover to the very edge of the screen but there is only approx 3mm of screen left uncovered around the edge. I used the gel method of applying the protector which was quite easy as long as you spend enough time smoothing out all the air bubbles and excess gel. This only issue I had is despite my best efforts I have trapped 2 very small pieces of something between the screen and the protector. One is in the middle of the screen and is really annoying me so I may have to buy another protector and try again but I would buy the same one.
I wanted a change of case after using the atomic 2.0. I purchased this and a UAG case upon recommendation from Mobile Fun.
I had no problems whatsoever installing the screen protector with the gel, there are no bubbles or lifts on the phone although there are a few minute specs under the protector due to me rushing the installation but otherwise top marks.
Feels tough and the screen feels different. There is no loss of sensitivity though, which is great. Doesn't quite cover the curved edges, which might be a good thing if you have a case. Not convinced it will give protection against impact.
wonderful online shopping, very accessible and very visual to use as I am a Deaf customer and most site require talking on the phone but this does not require any phone talking.
Really pleased with the screen protector. Very easy to fit having read the instructions (very unusual for me to do that) and watched the video. Screen nice and clear no air bubbles phone works well. and phone fitted back into its case no problems. Would certainly recommend this screen protector.
It feets well on the screen, I apply the protection with the wet method and it works great. Friendly case protection for the screen is the most important thing for me and this product is didn't disappoint.
This screen protector producted is very good quality. Arrived promptly, easy to fit. More thsn satisfied. Recommend this product.
Happy with the result although it would be better if it went further to the edge of the screen. Even with the cover on there is still a small gap. Whether this will be a problem later on I don't know.
It's a thick durable plastic, gets about 99% of screen coverage. When you put it on with the applying plastic the edges stay up but once you remove that it sticks on the curves and everything. Do suggest if you're after a full screen protector and don't trust the tempered glass ones to stick to the edges.
I dont understand why people say that this protector is bad. This product is super great. I bought a lot of screen protectors and with this one i win finally the jackpot. Its easy to fit without any problems and its cover the edge. I recomend this screen protector for any Samsung S7 edge users. Go for it and be happy.
The S7 edge is a gorgeous phone but both front and rear glass screens need protecting. When you've spent the best part of £500 on a phone you really need to spend a little time and money on the screen protector. Firstly, a cheap Protector from a popular auction website is a false economy- I've done it - the curved glass ones don't work and the thin film type (like BodyGuardz) bubble up. So, on to the review.
Great screen protector for a curved screen. I'm very happy with the product and it's worth for the money... Excellent!!
Just tried to fit this awful product. Wet installation method doesn't work, just attracts dust and dirt. Might as well have thrown the money (+ postage) straight in the bin.
Sadly this product wasn't that great and I ended up having to replace it. However the customer service at mobilefun was phenomenal! They emailed me soon after my complaint and sent me a new product of the same value with no extra cost. Thank you mobilefun! Great service!
Wish id bought this earlier. Ive arounder 5 screen protectors that apparently fit the whole screen but all never stuck down on the sides. Even the zagg was a bag of rubbish. I've taken this one off and reapplied usong the wet method 3 or 4 times even using a wet wipe because i ran out of gel and it is amazing. Fits my case nicely too and the design not fitting all the way to the edge is a great idea.
This is a top quality product, and if you have any questions about it, BodyGuards are very helpful. Two ways of applying either using its sticky backing, or using a gel (supplied) method which makes it easier to get it spot on. It has been money well spent.
this .screen protector is completely rubbish and very expensive, do not recommend.
Just a good screen protection. Two ways of puting on. Wet or dry i went the wet way. You must waite two days for it to dry but well worth it.
I don't usually leave reviews but had to say a few things about this screen protector.
When i purchased the screen protector, i thought it would be a tempered glass protector but that is my fault for not doing more research, even though for the money you would expect something more than a film.
The film is not very easy to apply to the screen (i used the wet application)and most importantly, does not cover the whole screen. The edges are completely uncovered, as well as some of the top and bottom of the phone, making me wonder what is the point of this product.
It's currently full of bubbles, which even though i tried to squeeze out with the card provided, they still kept appearing.
I will leave it for a day or 2 to see what happens but it's probably going to end up in the bin.
money down the drain...but it's my fault for not reading more about this product.
I never write reviews but Just had to touch on this. Body guards screen protector is literally like the sticker that comes on your phone when you first buy it. This item is a joke of course its case compatible its so thin. I dont see this as a projecter. Im leaving it on it till i have time to go to the mall. What a waste i followed the instructions step by step bubbles wont go away. Dont waste your money. I could have ordered a pizza and feed my family. My rant is over. Hope this helps. This is my opinion. Over priced cheep sticker !!!!!!
I love my screen protector! easy to install also!
I have never been a fan of screen protectors because they always end up with bubbles regardless of how careful you are. This one though has been great! I opted for the wet application and this made it super easy to get the protector in place. Then use the squeegee to work out the bubbles and excess gel, wait 2p minutes and peels off the other backing. A little bit more work to get rid of bubbles then done! Fits the screen well and has no bubbles!
The final result of the screen protector on my S7 edge is a beauty. Even though the screen isn't edge to edge, it's actually an advantage as it makes the screen protector compatible with cases. But, I found that at the bottom of the phone the corners peeled and gathered dust so I couldn't stick it back down again. However, this is my own error as I think I didn't correctly line up the protector to the phone. But otherwise, using a case with this screen protector is achievable. Also you are given the choice between either a wet or dry application so you can choose the best application method for you, making application feasible.
Instructions were not very clear when it came to peeling the backing off, which meant there were a few sticky fingerprints on the sheet. Despite it claiming to cover the edges, it didn't really wrap over them and now the sheet has started to lift in the corners. Overall disappointing.
This is by far the best screen protector. Tried tempered glass but every single one was useless. Screen protector covers the screen 99% but this is actually good as it works with every case ( there is a 1mm gap around the screen). Don't be afraid people when applied wet. At first I thought I did an awful job but after 24 hours all bubbles and the wet look goes away. I left the screen for like 30 hours alone and didn't use the phone or even put any case on as I was afraid it may peel off or something. Totally recommend the product. Dispatch and delivery is very quick. Packaged very well. Buy it. Worth the money.
Son was very pleased with purchase. Works well.
I used the wet method to apply this protector and I am so happy with the result. This is the first time that I have applied a screen protector and not had it poorly aligned or with air bubbles etc. Absolutely use the wet method with the product for a great result.
Turns out to be great.
I used the wet application approach. Followed instructions to the letter and all was ok until I had to remove the top cover. It took it all off, even though I waited 30 minutes to remove it. Luckily I still had gel left, reapplied, removed top cover and all was ok. The screen has adhered well to the phone with only one small bubble that is getting smaller.
Screen appears to work well, I have had it on one week and no dramas so far.
This is probably the perfect screen protector for my phone, the application Gel it comes with make it so much easier to fit without leaving bubbles and residual dirt, It covers the edges of the screen. Will definitely buy again if necessary.
Followed install to the letter using gel etc and used old phone whilst it had the times etc stated to fix properly but no edges peeled almost straight away. What rubbish with a high price for it.
Works petfectly, no edge issues when applying case afterwards as small gap allows for fit. Used wet method to apply, really simple no bubbles. Watch video on how to apply really helped.
I used the Gel application method and was not confident it was working on the curved edges. So I wrapped my phone in 2 pieces of clingfilm hold edges down. But no need to worry as it did apply well, if it was the cling film or not it fits well and holding at moment, no curling just curving edges.
This is a good screen protector for Samsung Galaxy S7 edge,just right to stickon the screen surface.I'm quite happy to have it and it's worth for the money you spent.Excellent.
I followed the online YouTube tutorial and did the wet application. At first I was really worried as the screen looked like it was very bubbly but I kept squishing the liquid bubbles out with a credit card and left it for 30 minutes before taking the top layer off. It was hard to get the top layer off as the edge kept coming up when I tried to pull the tab so I opted to try it from a different corner instead and this worked. in 24 hours the screen was perfect and protected. Works a treat and the edges not covering the full edge screen was good because my case would have pulled the screen protector up anyway.
I bought this hesistantly as i dont normally like screen protectors due to bubbling. However i had bought a tempered glass one for the s7 edge which was a let down. So at this price i thought i'll take a gamble. All i can say i am soo glad i did. It is the most simple and easy protector to apply. I used the wet method and at first i thought oh no the dreaded bubbles but they were easily squeezeed out and after leaving it for 20 mins it does make a difference as now you cant even tell the protector is on. It doesnt cover right up to the edge, but that is purposeful as allows compatibilty with many case covers.
This screen protector is the best on the market at the moment for the S7 Edge. And I say this after wasting £85 on various others for my phone and my son's S7 Edges. This one fits perfectly and is purposefully slightly smaller than the screen in order to accommodate any case without lifting up. I had to buy a couple though as the first one came with a fault in it.
Bought this item was a bit dubious as it seemed a lot cheaper compared to others so was worried about the quality but I have to say it is of excellent quality and value for money so much so I ended up buying 2 more for family easy to install it recommend the wet application takes longer but better results and don't worry if the edges don't stick down once it drys you won't even know you have a screen protector on you phone highly recommended.
Very poor, impossible to position correctly and does not fully cover glass.
A Brilliant product to give your screen total protection. Comes with clear instructions and a gel to slide the screen into place so easily. Recommended and best protector that I have come across.
Great - Once you Get It On!
So, ended up buying 2, great for mobilefun.co.uk but not great for my pocket!
The first one, although easy to install (I used the wet method) had 4 specks of dust underneath, didn't notice these until it had dried out. So, using the wet method makes life easier, it does mean that you cant spot dust so easy, nor can you remove the dust using tape as the screen protector is wet!
The second one, learn by your mistakes, went on without any problems!
It was easy to peel and place quarely on my phone.
I was worried that I couldn't remove all the bubbles first off. But I needn't have worried as the screen's curing remove them. I have now had the screen in place for over a week and it's perfect.
Good. And not hard on surface. A llitle bit soft that i like much. But need a skill to affix on screen perfectly. Some small air bubbles on my screen but it is fine.
The screen protector arrived in perfect condition. My wife and I tried the gel method of installation and wound up very frustrated; the curved edges would not stay down and when peeling off the top cover sheet (after an hour wait) found everything peeling off with it… it is all in the rubbish now… what a waste of money!
The protector is tricky to install, but once installed correctly, it adheres to the screen well, and is perfectly clear.
The only drawback is that it doesn't fully cover the edge screen. A couple millimeters of the edge screen is exposed on either side. But the excellent case-compatibility of this protector definitely trumps this drawback.
Does what it says on the packet but does not cover the curved edge. Combined with a back cover it does provide protection and it is really slippery to apply. On the whole quite pleased with the product as it stops my keys in the pocket, scratching the screen.
Followed the instructions and watched several video tutorials. I used the enclosed gel for a wet application, however the protector did not stick to the screen. Waste of money!!!!!
Initial thought of this screen protector were very good until I put it to use in my pocket within days it has light scratches down the length of the screen were I have taken it out of my pocket. The phone has been the only thing I keep in that pocket. It's not as hard as it has to be flexible to curve round the edge, this compromises the hardness of material unfortunately.
Doesn't look anything like the photo either, it doesn't go around the speaker or home button. Sadly I had already applied the gel so I've lost my money. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!

F VONNE
[2009] First edition. Delacorte Press, xiv, 251 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm. English
Look at the Birdie is a collection of fourteen previously unpublished short stories from one of the most original writers in all of American fiction. In this series of perfectly rendered vignettes, written just as he was starting to find his comic voice, Kurt Vonnegut paints a warm, wise, and funny portrait of life in post—World War II America–a world where squabbling couples, high school geniuses, misfit office workers, and small-town lotharios struggle to adapt to changing technology, moral ambiguity, and unprecedented affluence. Here are tales both cautionary and hopeful, each brimming with Vonnegut's trademark humor and profound humanism. A family learns the downside of confiding their deepest secrets into a magical invention. A man finds himself in a Kafkaesque world of trouble after he runs afoul of the shady underworld boss who calls the shots in an upstate New York town. A quack psychiatrist turned "murder counselor" concocts a novel new outlet for his paranoid patients. While these stories reflect the anxieties of the postwar era that Vonnegut was so adept at capturing– and provide insight into the development of his early style–collectively, they have a timeless quality that makes them just as relevant today as when they were written. It's impossible to imagine any of these pieces flowing from the pen of another writer; each in its own way is unmistakably, quintessentially Vonnegut. Featuring a Foreword by author and longtime Vonnegut confidant Sidney Offit and illustrated with Vonnegut' s characteristically insouciant line drawings, Look at the Birdie is an unexpected gift for readers who thought his unique voice had been stilled forever–and serves as a terrific introduction to his short fiction for anyone who has yet to experience his genius. Read "Hello, Red" and "The Petrified Ants," two of the stories from the collection, as single-story e-books before Look at the Birdie goes on sale. Available wherever e-books are sold.

Upon landing, all new immigrants to Canada are issued a Permanent Resident Card (PR Card). The PR Card is valid for five years and to renew it, permanent residents must demonstrate that they have complied with the residency requirements as set out in the Act.
The law stipulates that the initial period of permanent residency lasts for five years. To maintain residency status thereafter, an individual must have resided in Canada cumulatively for at least two years out of the five year period; 730 days to be exact. This means that a person can travel in and out of Canada as long as they total 730 days spent in Canada by the end of the five year period. Exceptions to the 2 out of 5 rule include individuals who were 1) working overseas for a bona fide Canadian company, 2) were living abroad as spouses or common law partners of Canadian citizens, or 3) were living abroad as spouses or common law partners of permanent residents who were working for a Canadian company.
As can be seen, the residency requirements are in fact quite flexible, allowing newly landed permanent residents to literally turn around and return to their country of origin for a period of up to three years. The purpose behind the system is to allow individuals enough time to wrap up their personal and business affairs before making their final move to Canada.
Upon the expiry of the initial five year period, an application should be made for a new PR Card. If the applicant is in Canada, they should return their expired cards along with the application or, alternatively, hold on to their valid cards and surrender them when called to pick up their new cards. It should be noted that no renewed PR Cards are ever mailed to the applicant. Instead, he or she must show up in person at a local CIC office to pick them up.
If the applicant is residing outside of Canada and their PR Card has expired, an application must be made at the closest Canadian consulate for a Travel Document, which allows the individual to board an airplane to return to Canada (a valid PR Card is required to board any commercial carrier such as a plane, train, boat or bus). However, if the applicant is found to have not met the residency requirements (two years in Canada out of the five year period), the consulate may not only refuse to issue a Travel Document, it may in fact conclude that the applicant has lost their permanent resident status. In such situations, an appeal to the Immigration and Appeal Division can be filed within sixty days.
Individuals who are still in possession of a valid PR Card but are approaching the five year expiry date may also be subjected to an examination of their permanent resident status upon their arrival at a Canadian Port of Entry. If the examination leads the officer to believe that the residency requirements have not been met, he or she will issue an admissibility report, although the holder of a PR Card will still have the right to enter Canada to appeal the residency decision.
An individual who has met their residency requirements and has lived in Canada for three years may qualify for citizenship, although permanent residence status can be renewed indefinitely. Some individuals chose to remain as permanent residents when their country of origin does not allow for dual citizenship. To learn more about applying for Canadian citizenship, click here.


Harriet tubman was a fighter that completed many brave acts by herself, she was born in 1822 and by the age of 5, she was already put to work. She got married in 1844, to a free black man, although she stillwas a slave. After all, her master died and she decided to make her escape. That was the beginning of her achievements. One of her achievements was operating the Underground Railroad. She travelled from Maryland all the way up to Canada. She had to get away from the danger.
Harriet was 28 when she made her first rescue and 38 when she made her last (!)#). To avoid being seen, she made her trips at night. The best with this achievement is that she did not meet the security guards, even though she sneaked out 11 people at the same time.

The online encyclopaedia has introduced banners on its website that encourage Australians to lobby their MPs to replace the existing fair dealing provisions in the Copyright Act.
The introduction of fair use would change the way Australians interact with copyright works and in some cases may relieve businesses from having to negotiate licences to use copyright works.
Australia currently has fixed categories of exceptions to infringement which can allow people to use copyright works without the authorisation of the copyright owner. The categories of exceptions that are recognised under fair dealing allow the use of copyright works for the purposes of research/study, criticism/review, parody, reporting news and professional advice.
... the regime promoted by Wikipedia would allow businesses and individuals to avoid infringement where it would be fair to use the work in a particular set of circumstances.
In contrast to these fixed fair dealing categories, the regime promoted by Wikipedia would allow businesses and individuals to avoid infringement where it would be fair to use the work in a particular set of circumstances.
Fair use was also recommended by the Productivity Commission's 2016 report into Australia's Intellectual Property Arrangements as a vehicle through which to enable Australian copyright law to encourage innovation and investment in new technologies.
Since the campaign for the adoption of fair use began to gain traction in Australia in the late 1990s, the debate around its introduction has often become emotionally charged as legislators are forced to weigh the value of rights given to creators against the costs paid by users of copyright works. This has often muddied the quality of information available to the general public regarding the proposed changes.
Wikipedia's campaign has been criticised for stating that they are currently only able to avoid copyright infringement in Australia by hosting their site in the United States. In particular, Wikipedia may be liable for copyright infringement where Australians access the site and images are electronically transmitted to them – irrespective of where the site is hosted.
These views are symptomatic of a range of misconceptions regarding fair use that typically conflate the reform of existing exceptions to infringement with increased access to copyright works in Australia.
Don't get your hopes up – fair use is not a golden ticket to download season seven of Game of Thrones.
Proponents of the introduction of a fair use exception in Australia point to the relatively greater success of tech start-ups in the US and argue that the growth of these companies has been fostered by the existence of a fair use exception.
Technologies that have been found to fall within the American fair use exception typically make a transformative use of copyright works in a context other than the historical market for the work. For example, in order to develop Google Books, Google scanned over 20 million books in order to produce unauthorised copies that users could search and then view snippets of text from before purchasing books online.
In 2016 the US Supreme Court refused an appeal against an earlier finding that the Google Books project constituted fair use of the copyright works contained in the books and that the digitised copies did not infringe the authors' copyright.
While the existence of a fair use exception may not be the sole factor behind the strength of US tech start-ups, it could play a role in encouraging investment in emerging technologies which would otherwise be susceptible to allegations of copyright infringement.
Fair use may assist in providing a technology neutral and flexible method for dealing with exceptions to copyright infringement. However, it won't allow businesses to ignore copyright when it is convenient to do so.
If the proposed changes are introduced, the issue of whether the use of a particular copyright work is fair will need to be determined by considering the nature of the work and the circumstances surrounding its use.
As most of us already know, Wikipedia can provide a useful starting point but it's rarely a definitive authority on any issue.
Any informed debate on fair use needs to start with an understanding of the existing rights given to copyright owners before considering exceptions to the enforcement of these rights.

Kali, called Smashan (cremation grounds) Tara (the savioress), is Lilith as the great devourer and destroyer. In a Left Hand Path perspective Kali is the force which we find within ourselves through looking deep within her, facing her terrors and through union with the feminine, empower a slumbering aspect of our psyche. Kali in a Tantric aspect is the blackness which crystallizes within the magician, the fire which exists in the void which is a symbol of her fiery nature. Lilith is the Black Serpent representing fleshly desire and Will to Flesh.
Kali is one of the 17 names of Lilith, whom is our patron Goddess of Sorcery and Magick. She is the devourer of all; she who awakens man and woman to the positive aspects of consciousness; the Mind itself. Go forth to Kali without fear, like a child to his mother. Kali is first shown as being Black, covered in ashes and covered in a garland of human skulls and heads, she stands upon the corpse of Shiva who is her mate, she devours and nurtures those who come unto her.
She is depicted as a woman who stands upon her mate, Mahadeva, who is the corpse god and when she copulates with Shiva he is called Mahakala, he is erect and cold below the Black Goddess. Kali stands fierce upon this corpse, her left foot on his legs and right on his chest. In dreaming practice or meditation, one may envision her feet becoming like tree roots which sink deep into the corpse of Mahadeva. The significance will be explained shortly.
Kali is the embodiment of the dragon of chaos, Azhdeha, and Tiamat. She is the manifestation of primal darkness made flesh, the enfleshed Daemonic Feminine. It is significant to understand that in forms of Left Hand Tantric Paths, the Graveyard and cremation ground is a gateway unto Her. The fanged goddess, who drips blood and holds the beheading blade calls to your dreams, your deepest desires. Go forth unto her and face that which is either your doom or your becoming. Kali cares not for the weak and the ones who cannot face their inner darkness; Her children are of the Dragon, the serpent which contains the inner Fire of Her very essence.
IS KALI A FALLEN ANGEL?

WHere the stars shine, where the moon gleams, where the cities, floating on the air, should have been created by now. Perhaps we should stop killing each other,stop falling prey to fear and ascend into the sky, as we were meant to do.
The name of the main analogue and digital satellite broadcaster in the UK.
Merged with British Satellite Broadcasting in the early-to-mid 90's, and became BSkyB, but is generally known and advertised under the 'Sky' brand.
1. Go find a place where the carpet is thick and green.
3. If you see a blue ceiling or a black ceiling with lots of shiny dots, this is the sky.
WARNING: If the sky is blue, do not look at the really bright thing.
4. If you see a gray ceiling, this might be the sky. To see the sky for certain, go back to step 1.
5. If you see a ceiling of any other color, go back to step 1.
NOTE: Sometimes really cool things happen in the sky. Try looking up for a while: you may see pretty lights.
WARNING: Do not walk around while looking up. You may may bump into people.
In Korea, SKY is an acronym to identify the top three Korean universities. S stands for Seoul National University (SNU). K stands for Korea University. Y stands for Yonsei University. Compared to America's HYP (Harvard, Yale, Princeton) trinity, SNU is considered Korea's Harvard. Korea University and Yonsei take up the Yale/Princeton roles.
Much like Japan, entry into these top flight universities guarantees easy access to government (SNU primarily), the executive track in Korea's major chaebols, and the foreign service.
It's not all pie in the SKY these days.
The public school system is viewed as incompetent and ill prepared to ready kids to pass SKY's rigorous entrance exams. And much like Japan, cram schools abound to prep kids for these exams. Education costs have been going up but Koreans have not been enjoying the seemingly "sky is the limit" growth in wages since the Asian financial crisis of 1997. The Korean middle and upper middle classes have been chomping at the bit as of late over these private education costs. This is translating into some sectors questioning whether this elite SKY triumvirate, with its privileged access to cushy government jobs, should continue. Unlike Harvard et al, these top flight and elitist universities receive the majority of their funding from the government. This begs the question should people enjoy privileged access on a publicly funded degree?

Sky is often used adjectively or in the formation of self-explaining compounds; as, sky color, skylight, sky-aspiring, sky-born, sky-pointing, sky-roofed, etc.
To hang (a picture on exhibition) near the top of a wall, where it can not be well seen.

This Is Hell! | Liberalism and the left in the New Atheists' blindspot.
What you see with New Atheism from the beginning - and in new forms that have merged with what we call the 'intellectual dark web' - is this idea that liberalism, meaning everything from Hillary Clinton through Bernie Sanders and further the left of that, in their minds, has abandoned 'real' liberal principles - individual rights, freedom of speech and so forth. And a lot of these positions people take in the name of being objective or scientific actually lead to fairly profound breaks with fundamental liberal philosophic principles.
Writer Jacob Hamburger traces New Atheism's shifting relationship with liberal ideology - from the movement's origins in opposition to perceived Bush-era religious irrationality, to today's centrist reactions against campus politics and the emerging socialist left that often contradict the core liberal values the New Atheists claim to uphold.
Jacob wrote the article What Was New Atheism? for The Point.

This program comes in two different editions. Download the 30-day demo (free) first and see if you love it as much as I do. I mean really, I loooovethis program. This program has so many awesome features that I'm not going to list them all here, please just visit their site to see them all. But I am going to talk about a few of the awesome features.
I know this article was long, but I hope you found something interesting! Let me know if you end up trying any of these programs, and be sure to tell me ow they work out for you! Also, keep an eye out in the next week or so for Dark Awakening: The Kategan Alphas 2 is on the way!
What! Are you nuts? Turn it off. But I'm a horrible speller and I'm constantly making mistakes, plus if I just edit it as I go then it's less work when I'm finished.
You heard me. Turn it off. When you sit down to work on your novel, your movie/play script, or your poetry just turn off your spell checker first. Why you ask? Because the green, blue, and red error squigglys interrupt your create thought process. In fact, it does it constantly! If you have your Proofing settings in word set to default then every time you write a sentence fragment you will have nasty green stuff all over your screen.
"Stop that. You don't know what you're doing." Erin reached to grab the wrench from his hand.
Now picture all those bold words squiggled with green lines because they're a sentence fragment. And while it's not the most riveting dialogue, it's convincing. It's also convincing because it's a fragment. People talk in fragments all the time, so it's natural to write it. That doesn't mean every sentence is a fragment either though (note the others).
Back in my degree program, I had several courses that taught professional editing using the Jet Propulsion Levels of Editing (invented by NASA). One of the great things I learned was to separate writing from editing. Separate the whole thought process. When you're working on your novel, lock away the editor and focus solely on your story and characters.
When your story is completely finished, then you edit. Turn on your spell checker and scan your entire document for errors. For those who still believe that editing while writing is the best way to go, you're just hurting your creative process. You also have to edit your manuscript at least once before sending it off to your agent/publisher/Amazon, because even with the spell checker on, it doesn't catch everything.
So if you don't read through your draft at least once, you're going to make some really glaring and embarrassing errors that will only hurt you.
A few months ago, I found the greatest writing software. I like it for many reasons. But mostly I love it because there is no spell checker. None. At all. Want to edit your work? Then export your completed document/chapter/scene and edit it in Microsoft Word or some other program.
The program is called yWriter and it's FREE. The author of the program is a software developer and writer. The interface is plain and simple and doesn't distract me like working in Word does. I used to just turn off all spelling and grammar checkers and write, but somehow the top ribbon and its colors always distracted me. (No, I don't have ADD or anything, but it made me feel like it).
So, what's to be concluded from all this? Well, it's up to you whether you want to leave on your spell checker, but don't. Turn it off. You don't need it while you're writing that amazing thriller or romance novel. At least give it the old college try. Let your creative process flow naturally and lock the editor in the bottom drawer until your manuscript is finished. Then let it out and find those mistakes!
Note: I have a B.S. in Professional Writing. I'm a young writer, but I have some experience and knowledge in editing, writing, planning, and design. So even if you don't agree, just try it out. It might help! I'm not a super expert on anything, but I know this advice has worked for me and others.

Another Mainer dies as 17 more coronavirus cases reported

Another Mainer has died as health officials on Wednesday reported 17 more coronavirus cases in the state.
There have now been 2,836 cases across all of Maine's counties since the outbreak began here in March, according to the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention. That's up from 2,819 on Tuesday.
Of those, 2,509 have been confirmed positive, while 327 are likely positive, according to the Maine CDC.
The latest death involved a resident of Cumberland County, bringing the statewide death toll to 102.
So far, 323 Mainers have been hospitalized at some point with COVID-19, the illness caused by the coronavirus. Of those, 27 people are currently hospitalized, with 10 in critical care and five on ventilators.
Meanwhile, 2,275 people have fully recovered from the virus, meaning there are 459 active and likely cases in the state, according to the Maine CDC. That's down from 485 on Tuesday.
A majority of the cases have been in Mainers under age 50, while more cases have been reported in women than men, according to the Maine CDC.
As of Wednesday, there have been 77,025 negative test results out of 80,908 overall. About 4 percent of all tests have come back positive, Maine CDC data show.
The coronavirus has hit hardest in Cumberland County, where 1,461 cases have been confirmed and where the bulk of virus deaths — 58 — have been concentrated. It is one of four counties — the others are Androscoggin, Penobscot and York, with 434, 101 and 450 cases, respectively — where "community transmission" has been confirmed, according to the Maine CDC.
There are two criteria for establishing community transmission: at least 10 confirmed cases and that at least 25 percent of those are not connected to either known cases or travel. That second condition has not yet been "satisfied" in other counties.Other cases have been detected in Aroostook (10), Franklin (37), Hancock (13), Kennebec (138), Knox (23), Lincoln (21), Oxford (34), Piscataquis (1), Sagadahoc (30), Somerset (26) Waldo (55) and Washington (1) counties. Information about where another case was detected wasn't immediately available Wednesday.
As of Wednesday morning, the coronavirus has sickened 2,137,731 people in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands, as well as caused 116,963 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University of Medicine.

Written by Anne Helen Petersen, a columnist for Buzzfeed, Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud looks at current women in our society who break the mold of what people consider socially acceptable womanly behaviour.
Using 10 women as examples of controversial people who are too much, Petersen analyzes some key characteristics that break the mold of what society accepts in womanhood and why.
Be it too shrill, too fat, too gross, or too loud, each chapter focused on qualities that are up for discussion in today's societal expectations.
I found it interesting that the author looked at different types of women from mainstream media so that more than just one generation or type of person could understand her references. From Serena Williams for being too strong, to Madonna for being too old, to Kim Kardashian for being too pregnant, all the women who are looked at appeal to different people giving the book a wider scope of interest for pop culture enthusiasts.
Beyond the pop culture appeal, there is also strong analysis of our current culture that makes this book a lot more than just a fluffy read about our favourite celebs. By delving into why we love, hate or love to hate different faces in our media stream, Petersen gives the reader a chance to reflect on our own biases and opinions on the societal roles people are supposed to play.
Interesting, humorous and thought provoking, Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud presents information in a very readable way that manages to provide information and insight without being preachy or forceful. I enjoyed the book immensely and was eager to read what the next too characteristic was going to focus on and which prominent female figure would be used as an example for that quality.

Look around you, there is household plastic waste everywhere. From your kitchen to your garden, we use plastic in fruit and vegetable packaging, bottles, films, those little pots for herbs and plants, and so much more.
At ECO-oh!, we want to inspire you to sort this plastic waste so that we can then ecologically recycle this plastic waste into valuable raw materials. We make 100% recyclable and sustainable products. Ecological edging for the garden with an Ecolat border, an Ecoplanc square foot garden, a sustainable vegetable garden container or compost bin. Street furniture such as garden benches, planters, and picnic tables, as well as building materials such as plastic plates, profiles and poles.
This is how we reduce the waste mountains and offer a sustainable alternative to incineration. Lower CO2 emissions and a smaller ecological footprint. This is better for the environment and for the well-being of future generations.


We will continue to instill the values expressed in our Gopher Code. Through our current OUSD and site specific initiatives, students learn to respect themselves, others, and the environment; value differences, interact positively, and be a contributing member of our school community.
Take care of yourself, Take care of each other, Take care of our community!
The following are our current and character and community building initiatives.
Students are acknowledged at a monthly Character Trait Award Assembly.
In order to foster a sense of school spirit and community, many upper grade classes select a primary class as buddy class. Activities are planned by the teachers, which often involve the older buddy assisting the younger student in art, science, or creative writing project. It is a program, which promotes understanding between older and younger children and helps enhance self-esteem for both.
This community outreach program is designed to promote a sense of community and instill the values of giving back and helping others. CHC provides an avenue for Glorietta students, families and staff to help students at a nearby school with fewer resources.
Students earn Gopher Gold Cards for "doing the right thing even when no one is watching." Students take one copy home and the other is turned into the office. One classroom winner will be drawn and announced during the weekly Announcements and earns a classroom reward.
Selected fifth grade students will provide assistance during morning drop-off. After receiving training, Safety Patrol monitors will be assigned to a weekly AM shift, and will be responsible for greeting and guiding students as they arriving to school.
The Think First program is aligned with our instruction of character education that focuses on developing positive character traits in students. Students, grades K-5, participate in small group discussions to learn decision making skills. Students are given specific strategies for problem solving and dealing with empathy and anger. Fourth and fifth grade students are given additional information related to tobacco and alcohol abuse. The program is taught by trained parent docents or classroom teachers. Their instruction is based upon supplemental lessons developed by the publishers of Think First.

Encore Players curtain goes up April 20 for the play "Artifice."
The Encore Players are at it again. They never seem to undertake anything that isn't fun for their cast and crew and, ultimately for their audiences.
This season, they are staging "Artifice," which is set in an old farmhouse outside a hamlet in upstate New York, not unlike any old farmhouse in our own environs.
Written by Anne Flanagan, the play revolves around gallery owner Maggie LaRue who has recently been widowed by her artist husband. With the artist's death, his catalogue of work has skyrocketed in price, prompting a plethora of the well-heeled and overly indulgent to traverse from Gotham up to this hinterland in search of a prized purchase.
All is going swimmingly, until it isn't. When the chaos commences, so does the rip-roaring fun.
The cast includes Katie Davis as Maggie LaRue; Benn Bartishevich, playing Trent Matlock; Chris Manly as Richard; Ashley Manning, as Graciela.
Alice Ploss portrays Judith Fontaine; and Daniel Trippett is Mick Fitzgerald; Torie Lines plays Emma and Scott Dawson is Payne Showers.
Amanda Riley is stage managing the production; Bev Hancox and Barbara Melvin are the costumers. On crew, Steve Blasberg is the lighting designer and Stan Stewart the soundman.
Directed by Anne Bialke and Ashley Manning, the curtain goes up at 8 p.m., April 20th, 21st, 27th, and 28th; and at 2 p.m. on April 22nd and 29th, at Hidden Falls Barn, on State Route 89 at Rocky Dock Road, in Interlaken. Tickets are $15 and are available online at encoreplayers.org or at the door.
In conjunction with the run of the show, Encore is sponsoring an art exhibition at Hidden Falls Barn, with works by Ileen Kaplan, Marian Van Soest, Ethel Vrana, and Audrey and Madeleine Bialke.
If you are planning on a night out at the theatre, and can't quite picture Hidden Falls Barn, it is a red structure, situated close to the roadway on the lakeside of Route 89, which seems at first look like it would make for a perfect permanent home for the players.
The Trumansburg Rotary Club new speakers' series continues at 7 p.m. on April 19, when Ulysses Town Supervisor Liz Thomas takes to the lectern to discuss possible zoning changes for the town.
Currently, the Ulysses Town Board has a zoning update committee evaluating changes to the local agricultural district, which by some estimation makes up 85 per cent of the town. Proposed changes are being considered to preserve as much agriculture and open space as possible while allowing farmers to sell portions of their land for non-agricultural development.
On April 26th, Chaw Chang of Stick and Stone Farm and a founding member of the community-supported agriculture (CSA) Full Plate Collective will present the farmers' viewpoint of contemplated zoning changes.
Both lectures are being held at the American Legion, Post 770, located at 4431 E. Seneca Rd. at State Route 96, just north of the Village of Trumansburg. Admission is free and open to the public.
Graduating seniors, planning to attend college, the time is now to apply for scholarships under the auspices of the Gemm Shop in Trumansburg.
The charity thrift store's board of directors award annual scholarships based on academics and merit. Selected students will each receive an award of $500, which will be announced at Charles O. Dickerson High School on senior awards night.
Applications may be obtained during regular Gemm Shop business hours, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, or 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays, 17 W. Main St. Completed forms must be returned to the Gemm Shop by mail and postmarked no later than May 12.
The Town of Ulysses is currently accepting job applications for two posts which they are anxious to fill.
A full-time environmental planner is needed to assist in devising a wise and wide use of land while protecting the area's natural resources.
In addition, there is an opening for a part-time planning board clerk which requires attendance at nighttime meetings which are generally the first and third Tuesdays of each month. Strong and accurate typing skills are required for minute taking and transcription.
For further information, visit the town's website, Ulysses.ny.us.

Investors gain no benefit from a 1999 rule requiring audit committees to have at least three members and be free of conflicting interests, research finds.
With the perennial issue of regulatory reform gaining renewed impetus from the Trump administration, some new research suggests a potential target: the Securities and Exchange Commission's mandate spelling out the basic composition of audit committees.
The regulation has its roots in a landmark 1998 speechby then-SEC chairman Arthur Levitt, in which he trained his sights on manipulative earnings management and called for empowering the audit committee "as the ultimate guardian of investor interests and corporate accountability."
Recommended Stories:

Research Refutes Sarbanes-Oxley Critics
About 15 months later, in December 1999, the SEC required audit committees to comprise no fewer than three members and to consist exclusively of directors having "no relationship to the company that may interfere with the exercise of their independence from management and the company."
Now, a study in The Accounting Review, a journal of the American Accounting Association, concludes that the 18-year-old rule (which was largely integrated into the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) has provided no discernible benefit for investors.
Before adoption of the regulation, there was no mandate on audit-committee size; independence was required of only a committee majority; and no definition of independence was provided, giving companies considerable leeway in how they met the requirement. The new mandate represented a marked change.
Yet, the new study says, the market placed no premium on companies being forced to comply with the rule. "Mandating a fully independent audit committee with at least three outside directors is not, on average, value enhancing," write the authors, Seil Kim of the City University of New York and April Klein of New York University. The study's findings are based on financial and governance information on 1,122 companies drawn from several large databases.
Given its lack of benefits and the fact that the market saw the regulation as imposing some costs, the professors believe that a simple enhanced disclosure requirement on audit committee composition would be more beneficial than the current independence standards.
Such new disclosure would go beyond current requirements to disclose whether the committee has a financial expert and whether members serve on the audit committees of more than three companies.
The researchers identify eight news events over a 15-month period, beginning with Levitt's speech on Sept. 28, 1998. Other such events include announcement of appointments to a blue-ribbon committee to explore audit-committee reform options, release of the panel's recommendations, and, finally, the SEC's approval of the new regulation on December 14, 1999.
To gauge the impact of the forthcoming regulation, the authors measure market-adjusted returns for company shares on the event date and the day after.
If investors judged the reform to be of value, there should have been an extra share-price return following these events. That effect should have been particularly true for out-of-compliance firms with histories of subpar accounting quality, since investors might have anticipated that the regulation would spur improvement.
Yet, in extensive efforts to find evidence for such effects, the researchers turned up none that were statistically significant.
Investigating the possibility that the market underestimated the potential of the new regulation, the professors examine whether it enhanced accounting performance among previously out-of-compliance firms in the two years following its effective date.
They gauged this through three telltale indicators: number of corporate financial restatements: instances of fraud; and amount of manipulative earnings management. But again, virtually no significant association between the new regulation and the prevalence of these problems comes to light.
The authors see their findings as countering an entrenchment theory of corporate governance that has gained traction in recent decades. As applied to audit committees, the theory "suggests that management seeks to insulate itself from oversight by maintaining smaller and/or less independent audit committees [unless] regulation forces non-compliant firms to move to more optimal audit-committee structures."
In contrast, the professors look upon their study's results as consistent with a competing view — namely, that companies are well-equipped to compose their audit committees to maximize company value.
Meanwhile, audit committees are voluntarily disclosing more information about their selection of and relationship with their external auditors, according to the fourth annual Audit Committee Transparency Barometer by the Center for Audit Quality and Audit Analytics.
Among the evidence are the following data, drawn from the 2016 and 2017 proxy statements of Fortune 500 companies:
An increase from 31% in 2016 to 37% in 2017 in disclosing audit committee considerations in appointing the audit firm
An increase from 59% to 63% in disclosing length of audit-firm engagement
An increase from 17% to 20% in stating that the audit committee is responsible for fee negotiations
An increase from 34% to 38% in 2017 in discussing criteria considered when evaluating the audit firm
An increase from 19% to 21% in disclosing that an evaluation of the external auditor is at least an annual event
An increase from 43% to 49% in explicitly stating that the audit committee is involved in the selection of the audit engagement partner
An increase from 39% in 2016 to 46% in 2017 in stating the engagement partner rotates every five years

Through this Sunday, part of the World Science Festival is taking place at Brooklyn Bridge Park.
A Comet "Lands" in Brooklyn – A spacecraft named "Rosetta" will rendezvous with the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko, having traveled 3.7 billion miles from Earth. "Rosetta," launched in 2004, will attempt a first-ever landing on the comet in November. Scientists hope data from the Rosetta will reveal the true anatomy and atmospheric tendencies of comet life and perhaps even the origins of water on Earth (see more from Mashable). Join the World Science Festival in Brooklyn Bridge Park to see a dynamic installation of a scale replica of the comet.
Stargazing from Brooklyn Bridge Park – Get out your telescope (or come borrow one of ours) for a night of urban stargazing and live music as we celebrate the dance of the planets. Learn even more about the universe at our Star Chat, where some of the world's best astronomers, physicists, and scientists will discuss hunting for life, landing crafts on Mars, and discovering planets trillions and trillions of miles away.
For a full list of World Science Featival events, go here.
Join us for a performance by renowned Jazz drummer, Winard Harper, and the Winard Harper Sextet. A native of Baltimore, Harper had a natural affinity to playing the drums. His career took off in the early 1980s when he played his first major gigs with Dexter Gordon and Johnny Griffin. Harper's skills soon caught the attention of jazz legend Betty Carter with whom he would work with for four years.
The Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy announced the Movies With A View lineup for the 14th year. This will be Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy's sixth year partnering with Syfy to present Syfy Movies With A View. The free, outdoor film series will take place on Pier 1 in Brooklyn Bridge Park and will feature films from different cities around the globe.
The first film in the park kicks off on Thursday, July 11, 2013 and runs weekly through Thursday, August 29, 2013. The audience will be taken on a journey each week with feature films that take place in cities such as Chicago (Ferris Bueller's Day Off), Hong Kong (Enter the Dragon), London (Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory), Rome (Roman Holiday), Detroit (8 Mile), Philadelphia (Rocky), San Francisco (Vertigo), and a location that the public will choose later in the summer.
In line with the "With Love From…" theme, DJs from Brooklyn Radio will feature pre-movie music from the films' locations. BAMcinématek will continue to curate short films to be shown before the feature each week.
The Conservancy is also excited to welcome back community partners Astronomers Association of New York, who will be on hand to help stargazers scan the skies with telescopes provided by Syfy, and Transportation Alternatives, who provide free bike valet parking. Also highlighting the series are returning media sponsors Time Out New York and Brownstoner. DUMBO-based publication, Gothamist, will be joining the team as a media sponsor for the first time.
Music starts at 6:00 pm, and the films begin at sundown. Park concessionaires Blue Marble Ice Cream, Luke's Lobster, No. 7 Subs, Lizzmonade Brooklyn, and the Brooklyn Bridge Wine Bar will be offering food and drink for purchase.
See www.brooklynbridgepark.org for full press release and more information.
Note: capacity is limited and lawn seating is first come, first served.
NY Times reports that plans for a velodrome at an old maintenance building at Pier 5 of Brooklyn Bridge Park is cancelled. Joshua Rechnitz, the philanthropist behind the project, said on Wednesday "that he and his team had withdrawn their proposal for the park and would seek another location in or around the city for the indoor sports complex." The $50million pledge is among the largest individual gifts in the history of New York City's parks. There were some local opposition to the indoor cycling center but was not a factor for the withdrawal, according to Rechnitz.
There are two dog runs within Brooklyn Bridge Park: Main Street and Pier 6. They are holding a Cutest Dog at the Dog Run Photo Contest.

Virginia Natural Gas adds new communications platform to keep you informed
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Nov. 8, 2019 – As part of its commitment to providing natural gas customers with best-in-class service utilizing innovative technology, Virginia Natural Gas (VNG) is enhancing its ability to quickly and directly reach customers by leveraging mobile phone technology.
VNG is introducing "Keep Me Informed" or KMI, a new communications platform that proactively provides status updates to residential customers about their scheduled appointments through text messages. When scheduling certain types of service appointments, such as new service connections, VNG customers will now be able to opt-in to receive text messages to keep them informed of the status of their appointment.
"As customer expectations continue to grow and shift and the technology available to us evolves, adding another option for our customers to communicate with us is one of many ways we're adapting and adjusting our operating practices to meet new and changing demands," said Rus Hayslett, vice president of operations. "By offering KMI text messaging, we hope to make customer interactions with Virginia Natural Gas more convenient, and ultimately make it easier to do business with us."
Customers whose appointments are covered by KMI will receive a confirmation text after a new service connection appointment is scheduled and receive a reminder message the day before and the day of their scheduled appointment. The KMI system, introduced across VNG's service territory in October, will also send a text alerting the customer that the technician is on the way. Once work is complete, customers will be notified through a final text, which will include a link for them to complete a customer satisfaction survey.
The Keep Me Informed text messages are currently being used for new service appointments with plans to expand the service to other appointment types in the near future. For more information on Keep Me Informed, call our Customer Care Center at 1-866-229-3578.
