Chateau MerrillAnne's "Marquis Society" is NOT a wine club. There is no cost to join, there are no fees to be a member and there is no requirement to purchase wine. The Marquis Society is a group of Chateau MerrillAnne "insiders" who are offered wines for purchase that are no longer available to the general public, have access to purchase wines that have not yet been released, can get discounts for ticketed winery events, can purchase special Society merchandise and many more benefits. Its membership is free and open to all.
Four times a year we will offer for sale to Society members a 3-pack of wine which includes 2 Vintner selected wines from our current offerings, one a White, one a Red AND whenever possible a select wine from our Library that is no longer available to the public. You will also have the option of upgrading to 2 bottles of each (6 bottles total) or 4 of each (12 bottles total). Members who choose to purchase this offering will be invited to a pickup party at the winery. If you cannot attend or are out of the area you can purchase, as a Society member, thru our online store and we will ship it to you. On all shipments members are responsible for shipping costs, Chateau MerrillAnne pays for packaging and handling.
Prior to new wine releases the Society members will be invited to a pre-release tasting where they can sample the new wine at no cost. Should they decide to purchase they will be able to do so without waiting for the wines release.
Unlike a traditional wine club, the Marquis Society doesn't take your credit card info up front. There are no wine shipments that automatically go out with your credit card being charged. We will send you emails prior to our 4 annual pickup days letting you know what the current Society offer is. Then, if you choose to, you can come to our pickup party at the winery and purchase your offering OR you can go into our online store and order it online for delivery. Because these offerings contain at least 1 wine which is no longer available to the public and is in very short supply each member is limited to 1 Society purchase per member per pickup period.
Members will also receive discounts for ticketed winery events such as Vintners Wine Dinners, Paint with Wine events and other special events along with being able to purchase special Society merchandise.
This is the easiest part. Simply fill out the form below and send. You will be automatically added as a member of the Marquis Society. No cost, no commitment.
No fee to join, no annual membership fees, you pay nothing until YOU decide to purchase one of our Marquis Society offers.
Chateau MerrillAnne will NEVER sell your personal information. These fields are required to make our club management software work properly.

According to Navigant Research,1 technology for achieving zero-net-energy (ZNE) (also known as zero-energy, net-zero-energy, or net-zero) buildings—defined by the U.S. Department of Energy2 as energy-efficient buildings “where, on a source energy basis, the actual annual delivered energy is less than or equal to the on-site renewable exported energy”—is available for most building types, but education, not to mention cost, remains a challenge. With that in mind, HPAC Engineering assembled a panel of buildings professionals well-versed on the subject of ZNE buildings and put to them a series of questions submitted by readers.
What is the estimated additional first cost of a ZNE building, and how does a ZNE building compare in terms of overall life-cycle cost? Granted, there are energy savings, but aren’t there additional maintenance costs for systems with additional components and features?
“People spend money on what they want to spend money on,” Paul Torcellini, PhD, PE, principal engineer for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL’s) Commercial Buildings Research Group, said. “We have found that if you have a set of energy goals within your project scope from the beginning, design teams and contractors can integrate the required 50-to-70-percent energy reduction in with little or no additional cost. The NREL RSF (Research Support Facility) is a good example of this. Most of the biggest savings items come with less maintenance.
“We have the mode that buildings that are low-energy are complex,” Torcellini continued. “It doesn’t have to be that way. Complexity costs money. Start with good envelope designs. The envelope should be the first line of defense for heating, cooling, and lighting a building. Cut out all the extra printers and appliances. Set ENERGY STAR settings on the computers. All these things reduce maintenance costs and save capital funds. I think the perception that to save energy you have to spend money—we need to use creativity to solve the problem such that saving energy also saves capital dollars. We showed that several years ago and have examples to back it up.”
Charles Eley, FAIA, architect, mechanical engineer, and author of the book “Design Professional’s Guide to Zero Net Energy Buildings,” said the maintenance costs of solar systems, common in ZNE buildings, are extremely low.
“In some areas, performance can be improved by cleaning the collectors once a year, but, apart from that, there is very little that needs to be done,” Eley said. “As for the cost-effectiveness of ZNE buildings, solar systems often can be installed at no additional cost to the owner through solar leases or power-purchase agreements. Plus, renewable-energy-system costs have declined significantly in the last decade, and further declines are expected.”
Though achieving the very low energy-utilization indexes of ZNE buildings requires “investment in better windows and envelope construction, more efficient HVAC systems, and better lighting systems and controls, minimum building codes in many areas, like California, already require levels of energy efficiency near the level needed for ZNE, so the extra cost is minimal,” Eley added.
How does a ZNE-building project stack up in terms of embodied energy on a first-cost basis and a life-cycle-cost basis?
“The embodied energy of a project is considerable, but not part of the common accounting for ZNE buildings,” Eley explained. “For new construction, the embodied energy represents many multiples of the annual operating energy. Were it to be factored into the definition of a ZNE building, the project would start off deep in the hole and would need to be a net producer for many years to achieve ZNE.
“Existing buildings,” Eley continued, “should be renovated when possible, and new buildings should be constructed to have a ‘long life, loose fit’ so they can be adapted to new and perhaps unexpected uses in the future. This will reduce embodied energy in the long term.”
Though very simple and hardly perfect, one way to think about embodied energy is in terms of cost, Torcellini said.
“If it is not cost-effective on a life cycle, you have to question if more energy goes into making the widget than it will save,” Torcellini said. “... I would argue that we don’t make other design decisions based on embodied energy. Why would you buy marble from an international source when a local product would work? Why? Because I want it! The embodied energy of just creating the building far dominates the incremental changes in the energy technologies that can be integrated.
“The other part to remember,” Torcellini added, “is that if the building is truly zero-energy, the entire impact is embodied. What we don’t often consider is that to make non-zero-energy work, there is a huge infrastructure that we don’t often think about with respect to the building. Think of the amount of effort to make a power plant or the railroad track to get coal/oil to the power plant, etc.”
Does a ZNE building require significantly more effort for performance to be sustained?
With ZNE buildings, commissioning and operator training are essential, as are leases and other contracts encouraging efficient operation, Eley said.
“The performance of ZNE buildings is verified at the meter,” Eley explained, “so a lack of commissioning and operator training will show up very quickly, where inadequate performance may go unnoticed for years with a conventional building.”
Measuring the performance of a zero-energy building does not require an expensive metering program, Torcellini said.
“Just look at 12 months of bills, and you can easily figure out if you are at zero,” Torcellini said. “It is a little more math if you have multiple fuel types, but not that hard.”
Is a change of mindset on the part of building users required to achieve and maintain the goal of ZNE?
“A change of mindset is definitely required for successful ZNE buildings,” Eley said.
Citing the example of the ZNE Bullitt Center in Seattle, in which “about half of the energy ... is ‘unregulated,’ consisting of computers, printers, coffee makers, refrigerators, and other energy uses that are more the responsibility of the occupants and tenants, as opposed to the designers and constructors of the building,” Eley said ZNE is difficult, if not impossible, to achieve without the active cooperation of tenants and occupants.
“As a result, the Bullitt Center and other ZNE buildings are exploring innovative lease arrangements that provide an incentive to the tenants to carry on efficiently and to conserve,” Eley said. “We will see much more of this in the future.”
The bottom line, Torcellini said, is: “People need to want to change. Sometimes, that happens because of price signals; sometimes, it happens because of societal pressures. Most of us don’t like any sort of discomfort, which is why more and more buildings have air conditioning, which further narrows our expectations on comfort zones. But we all have our priorities. For example, people tolerate some glare if they have a great view. Another example is if occupants control the space, we tolerate larger temperature swings—it is amazing the variability when we let people operate the windows.”
What, if anything, should employers be doing to change employee behavior to help pave the way for ZNE buildings?
Implementing “vacancy sensors on lighting, manual glare control, task cooling and lighting, mobile-workplace technologies like cell phones and laptops, and EV (electric-vehicle) charging stations,” Shanti Pless, senior engineer, NREL, said, adding people are 20 times more likely to get an EV if they have access to a charging station at work.
“Transportation energy is not factored into the common definition for ZNE buildings, but it certainly is important,” Eley said. “For some buildings, meeting the transportation demand can result in more energy use than operating the building. When a site has EV chargers, the energy they use is treated as exported energy, like excess renewable energy.”
Though encouraging the use of public transportation and carpooling and allowing employees to work from home are viable means of reducing loads and getting to ZNE, “It is important that people change because they want to, and they need the motivation to change,” Torcellini said. “... We have found that many ideas people will embrace if they understand them. We moved to laptops a few years ago, and there was very little staff pushback—and we got lots of energy savings. We moved to larger printers per wing, and employees like the speed and like the opportunity to get up and walk around. Moving to paperless workflows also helps—employees like the idea of electronic deposits, device-enabled expense reporting, etc.”
Are there preferred/recommended methods of project delivery for ZNE buildings?
“A dedicated design team, construction team, and owner can achieve ZNE with any project-delivery method, but it is easier with integrated project delivery (IPD), as recommended by The American Institute of Architects,” Eley said. “With IPD, the owner, designer, and constructor work together from the beginning to achieve the goals of the project, including ZNE. An option, or add-on, to IPD is an incentive-compensation layer that makes a portion of the fee contingent on meeting one or more of the project goals, like achieving ZNE.”
“To make integrated solutions work, we developed a performance-based design-build delivery method that rewards effective teams for delivering excellence on a project,” Torcellini said.
What are the most significant design difficulties associated with ZNE buildings?
“Achieving a low energy-utilization index and integrating solar collectors with other roof demands, like skylights and HVAC equipment,” Eley said.
Torcellini cited window sizing: “We have written algorithms to optimize building capital cost and energy goals. The results are interesting when the computer designs a building: minimal windows—just enough for daylighting—good envelopes, 50-percent reduction in plug loads, and a very efficient small HVAC system. If we started there and created beautiful buildings in that context, we would have buildings that use much less energy. If you start with a glass box that has solar heat gains and poor envelope performance—even the best glass cannot compete with an insulated wall—then hitting the goal is hard. With all that said, we probably don’t want to live in a building a computer designs; we want view glass, but it comes at a capital cost and an energy penalty. If we understand that when we are designing, we can appropriately size windows.”
It is almost a given a ZNE building will require solar, wind, and/or other forms of renewable-energy capture. With so many inverters contributing to the grid, including residential users, is there an electrical challenge to be faced by utility companies?
“Power quality can be an issue,” Eley said, “but most utilities have standards inverters must meet before a renewable-energy system can be connected to the grid.”
Said Pless: “Power quality, especially in building-scale microgrids with inverter-based generation and storage, has to be designed carefully and generally better understood.” NREL’s Energy Systems Integration Facility, which provides laboratory space and specialized scientists and engineers to aid research of new technologies, was designed with this in mind.
Most ZNE projects rely on production and export of excess solar-generated electricity during the day and the drawing of electricity from the grid at night, when the ZNE buildings need electricity for light and heat. ZNE buildings, then, rely on non-ZNE users to take the excess electricity. If everyone were to take the solar-power approach to ZNE, no one could be ZNE because there would be no pigs around to use the daytime excess solar power. What demonstrated technologies and techniques can designers use to light, heat, and cool their buildings after dark and have their buildings be truly ZNE?
“Time is not a factor in the current definition of ZNE buildings, and this will become a problem in the future,” Eley said. “Many ZNE buildings produce more energy than they use in the summer and are net consumers in the winter. Likewise, renewable-energy systems are cranking out energy on weekends, when it may not be needed by the grid. As long as there are just a few ZNE buildings, this is not a problem, since the excess renewable energy tends to align with the utility’s peak period. But if all our buildings were ZNE, it would clearly be a problem. The grid and the utilities that support it would need to function as a storage battery, taking excess energy when it is available, storing it, and serving it back at a later time.”
The long-term solution, Eley said, is real-time pricing.
“When there is no demand for renewable energy, the price would be low or even negative,” Eley said. “The peak period for many utilities would shift from the afternoon to the early evening, when the sun is down but commercial buildings are still operating. Real-time pricing would encourage building owners and managers to incorporate energy-storage systems. Batteries would be charged in the afternoon, when there is excess renewable-energy generation, and this energy would be used in the early evening, when prices are high.
“On the grid side of the meter, there also are options,” Eley continued. “Power plants that provide a base load and can’t easily be trimmed back would be retired and replaced with plants that can respond more quickly to changes in loads. Demand-response programs can be automated with the Internet of Things. There also are storage options on the grid side. Pumped storage has been used for decades, and some utilities are experimenting with batteries.”
Said Torcellini: “Moving to lower-energy buildings and renewable energy is dependent on constant technology development as well as market drivers that are governed by price and policy. Solar has become inexpensive, and adoption depends on the buy/sell that you mention. The next frontier is in storage, and that can take many forms and help to minimize the buy/sell.”
Pless concurred: “We are seeing lots of interest in storage at the grid scale and the building scale. Pumped hydro, large-scale batteries, ice storage, and hot-water storage are all examples.”
What level of energy use do you look to achieve before adding renewables?
“EUI (energy-use intensity) targets vary by building type and some by climate, but for offices, retail, and schools, site EUIs should be in the range of 15 to 25 kBtu per square foot per year,” Eley offered.
Said Torcellini: “Our general recommendation is about a 50-to-70-percent reduction from current codes and building standards. For many commercial-building types, this is an EUI of 20 to 25 kBtu per square foot.”
Pless added: “I look for best in class for my building peer as a comparable. New Buildings Institute’s Zero Net Energy database and Advanced Buildings database are good places to start. ASHRAE’s Advanced Energy Design Guides (AEDGs) also have EUIs by building type and climate zone.”
Are there geographical belts being identified as prime regions for implementation of ZNE buildings?
ZNE can be achieved in all climates, though more easily in some than in others, Eley said.
“In my book, I do an analysis by climate,” Eley said. “The most difficult climate is the arctic regions. The cold and humid climates of the Northeast and Great Lakes areas provide the next level of difficulty. The Pacific Coast—mild temperatures—and the Southwest areas—lots of sun—are the easiest.”
Torcellini agreed: “We can make zero-energy work in most climates. The hardest ones are cold, northern climates where solar availability is limited and heating loads are high. With that in mind, mild climates should have limited excuse not to make zero-energy buildings.”
It is not all about climate.
“Local advantageous policies, utility costs, a local capable design and construction industry, and utility incentives have created pockets of prime regions for zero,” Pless said.
For ZNE buildings, ground-source HVAC equipment is reasonable to expect. Are there any concerns about possible long-term ill effects on geology? For geothermal systems designed for campus-type environments, are operators seeing elevated condenser-water temperatures necessitating backup measures, such as dry coolers?
“It is true that many ZNE buildings use ground-source heat pumps (GSHPs) because they are more efficient than many other system types,” Eley said. “The temperature around the wells can drift up or get colder over time, if there is not a balance of heating and cooling loads over a typical year. The best applications for GSHPs are in climates where heat rejection is about equal to heat absorption on an annual basis.”
Said Pless: “In buildings or climate zones with unbalanced annual heat extraction to heat rejection, hybrid ground-source-heat-pump systems often are considered. A fluid cooler or backup boiler can help to restore annual heat balance and maintain sufficient water-loop temperature ranges.”
Above all, Torcellini said, the long-term success of a system is dependent on good engineering and contracting.
“Balance the heating and cooling,” Torcellini said. “The amount of ground water makes a huge difference on ground properties. As with any other system, expertise goes a long way here. On the flip side, mechanical systems should not be used as a solution to poor energy efficiency in an envelope. The downsizing of HVAC is an important strategy for zero energy. For example, in my house, my loads are so small that a small air-based heat pump meets the load, and the efficiency of that unit is quite impressive. Drilling wells would have been very expensive.”
What innovations have you incorporated into your designs to achieve ZNE?
“Aggressive heat recovery from data centers, telecom, exhaust air, solar gains,” Pless said.
“Using daylighting fenestration for daylighting and ‘windows’ for view glass,” Torcellini added. “... Mov(ing) to a mode where the building turns off when it is unoccupied. ... Reduc(ing) plug loads. We have been involved with some projects where we basically eliminated the HVAC system. Mov(ing) to hydronic-based systems, rather than air-based systems. Mov(ing) to radiance comfort, rather than focusing on air temperature. Let(ting) the occupants control their space conditions.”
Do you think ZNE is a reasonable design goal for new buildings?
“It’s a reasonable goal for the vast majority of new buildings,” Eley said. “The exceptions are high-rise buildings, along with restaurants, supermarkets, health care, data centers, and other energy-intensive buildings. For them, community solar and other off-site options are available.”
Pless said ZNE is most difficult to achieve with laboratories, hospitals, and high-rises.
“But even for these more difficult buildings,” Torcellini said, “there is no reason not to specify an EUI target in the 50-percent-savings range.”
Do you expect ZNE to substitute for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification of buildings?
“ZNE addresses just one aspect of green buildings: energy,” Eley said. “LEED considers water, sites, materials, and much more. I don’t think ZNE will be a substitute for LEED.”
A more likely scenario, Eley said, is ZNE becoming a qualification for energy points in future versions of LEED.
“The different programs often highlight different metrics, all of which are important,” Torcellini said, echoing Eley. “One is not necessarily a substitute for another. I would add to the list ANSI/ASHRAE/USGBC/IES 189.1, Standard for the Design of High-Performance, Green Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings.”
What advice would you give to engineers and designers looking to achieve ZNE goals using current technologies?
“Make a commitment to the ZNE goal early in the design process,” Eley said. “Design to the latest energy-efficiency codes, and push as far past those codes as you can. Incorporate on-site renewable energy on the building roof and/or over parking and on the building grounds.”
“Set EUI goals, not percent-savings goals,” Torcellini said. “An EUI goal will focus the team on meeting that goal. You can base that on percent savings, but the owner should set that goal. As stated earlier, start with good envelope design.”
Pless advised beginning one’s ZNE journey with the AEDGs.

What last year’s explosion means for the future of policy
Insurers must be anticipatory, and evolve in the rapidly changing scientific, legal, and regulatory genomics landscape.
Colorado Division of Insurance proposes first-of-its kind regulation requiring life insurers to test their underwriting process for racial and ethnic bias.
The Geneva Association recently published a comprehensive report on the use and regulation of AI in the insurance industry. AI is a key part of the digital transformation of insurance, the report says, and its associated risks are already familiar to insurers.
The Colorado Division of Insurance has approved a closely watched regulation that could affect how life insurers use outside vendors’ artificial intelligence systems, and any other outside sources of data or analytical technology, in life insurance underwriting.
The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) into the insurance industry is transformative, heralding a new era marked by improved efficiency, accuracy and personalization. However, with this technological shift comes a significant yet often overlooked concern—AI bias.
Unfair discrimination takes place when insurers consider factors that are unrelated to actuarial risk while determining whether to provide insurance to particular individuals or groups, and if so, at what price and with what terms.
Colorado is leading the way on regulation around insurers’ use of data with its first rules requiring life carriers to ensure the use of third-party data in life insurance underwriting does not discriminate against protected groups.
State insurance regulators are finishing up an industry survey to learn how home insurers are using artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Recent announcements in Colorado, Louisiana and New York addressing the use of not only big data but also more traditional “scoring” models signal a continued focus on this area by state insurance regulators.

78 Players showed up at FGW to play round 4. Andrei posted a perfect 35 and solidified his lead in the standings. His average is a remarkable 32.5 points/round so far. Is someone on a quest to regain the title by any chance?
Don’t forget to get your Pinburgh ticket this Saturday morning! Papa.org.
On a moonlit night in Gotham City, 8 major villains gathered to battle it out for the Winter Series Trophy. The format was head to head, best 2/3. Mainly 80’s Solid State machines were used, which definitely made the contest fast and furious.
Season 10 – Round 10! Our 98th regular season meeting brought in 71 members and it was an exciting round at that. Aaron needed his last ball of the regular season to get into A-playoffs, and managed to scrape enough points together to get in. Good job especially considering he only played 7 rounds.
Gabe is our regular season champ with 240 points, an average of 30 points/round. Impressive! He’ll go into the playoffs as the top seed.
Brian O had the only perfect round on the night and is definitely one of the top contenders for the trophy.
Players need to be checked in no later than 11:45 on Sunday. Doors open at 11 for practice on tournament games.
62 members and 1 guest showed up for the penultimate round of the regular season. Our very own favorite judge, Darren, pulled off a perfect 35 and with that has entered in playoff contention. It’ll be an exciting last round on November 29th!
26 players showed up for the first (of hopefully many) NorCal Solid State. We played only Solid States (and 1 EM…) machines and the competition lasted 13 rounds/4 hours. Echa Schneider came over from Oakland and totally killed it! After 13 rounds, she had only accumulated 6 strikes, which was way ahead of the competition. Congrats Echa!
Thanks to all participants for coming out, and extra special thanks to the officials, Andreas and Brian for doing such a great job making sure the rules were followed.

Lee Blessing’s off-kilter playfulness and ability to humanize contemporary issues onstage have made his latter plays popular productions in American theaters. Blessing, best known for his imaginative interpretations of factual events, has examined everything from AIDS to nuclear arms to the life of Ty Cobb. Sometimes criticized for simply skimming the surface of these issues with his work, he tends to telescope his issues into a few, key human characters. Supported by an abundance of playful wit, his strength lies in his marriage of entertainment value to substantive dialectic.
Blessing’s work can be divided into two parts: his early work, characterized by realism and family drama, and his later, post-Walk in the Woods work, in which he primarily takes on current events. The earlier work, which also includes his strongest emphasis on central female characters, is less adventurous and therefore less remarkable, following linear structure and internal realism more strictly. The later work becomes increasingly imaginative, playing with form, theme, and character in a way his first few works do not.
His experiments with structure most often take the form of a sort of soliloquy in the style of William Shakespeare, in which characters alone onstage directly address the audience with narratives, commentaries, or character revelations. This soliloquy device is present in one form or another in almost half of his works. Through his entire body of work, Blessing’s fascination with nature as metaphor is evident, as his characters often digress into long descriptions of animal or insect behavior to illustrate certain metaphorical character points or bigger pictures. Other notable characteristics of his writing include a consistent seriocomic cleverness and a reliance on the symbolism of light and dark.
Blessing’s first play to really demonstrate his excellent command of language, Eleemosynary is the most successful of Blessing’s family drama works, an examination of how three generations of women use language and to what end. The three women use language—specifically spelling bees—to both connect and distance themselves from one another throughout the course of the seven-scene play.
Eleemosynary was written as part of a self-assignment on Blessing’s part to write plays with central female characters, as a reaction against a theatrical climate in the mid-1980’s that was still less than insistent on the need to portray strong women. His most successful effort to grapple with lead female characters, Eleemosynary resembles his earlier Independence in its structural use of three central females.
The play represents Blessing’s first real experimentation with structure. This modified narrative has the three women sometimes acting as storytellers and at other times as characters-in-the-moment, marking out a loose plot that spans the lives of all three. Blessing’s device of having characters break the fourth wall to speak directly to the audience is used to good effect here, as he examines the relationship between cruelty and love in families.
The three women in Eleemosynary are, in typical Blessing form, a celebration of idiosyncrasies, each bucking the terms of society in their own quirky way. An openly eccentric grandmother, a mother who leaves her daughter to pursue research, and a daughter who memorizes the dictionary to become a spelling champion all find solace in their ability to hide behind the artifice of knowledge.

Seven new papers describe the first-ever detection of light from a gravitational wave source. The event, caused by two neutron stars colliding and merging together, was dubbed GW170817 because it sent ripples through space-time that reached Earth on 2017 August 17. Around the world, hundreds of excited astronomers mobilized quickly and were able to observe the event using numerous telescopes, providing a wealth of new data.
Previous detections of gravitational waves have all involved the merger of two black holes, a feat that won the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics earlier this month....
Material defects in end products can quickly result in failures in many areas of industry, and have a massive impact on the safe use of their products. This is why, in the field of quality assurance, intelligent, nondestructive sensor systems play a key role.

7 Tips for Getting Life Insurance with a Preexisting Condition
Most people hate shopping for life insurance and will put it off until later, not knowing that something like a medical condition or death could be waiting right around the corner. Once you are diagnosed with a health condition, it’s going to be a lot tougher for you to obtain health and life insurance policies. Thankfully, there have been laws passed that now prevent health insurers from discriminating against those with a preexisting condition. However, the life insurance providers are still in control of whom they accept and decline. Below, you’ll find seven tips to help you get life insurance coverage even when you have a preexisting condition.
1. Check the Insurance Laws Within Your State
There are a couple of states throughout the U.S. that put restrictions on how insurance companies can single out individuals with medical conditions. See if the state you live in offers you leeway to getting the life insurance you need to protect your family.
2. Look for a Young Insurance Company
Brand new insurance companies are looking for business, which means they’ll usually take it in any way they can. Most newer companies will take on clients even it if means giving out policies to individuals with preexisting health conditions. Of course, this will be determined by the severity of your case. You may not be able to get coverage if you are knocking on death’s door because paying out a large lump sum so soon could be devastating to a new insurance provider.
3. Go to an Impaired-Risk Specialist
When you can’t get approved from an insurance provider, you can go to brokers who specialize in clients with pre-existing medical conditions. These are known as impaired-risk specialists. They act as brokers and will look into your particular case down to the miniscule detail. They work with insurers specifically within this niche market so to help you get the coverage you need. The broker assesses your case to determine your risk level and will then offer coverage based on those facts. Being upfront and honest about your medical profile can help you get a better result. Taking measures to improve your health and lifestyle can also make things easier.
4. Prepare Yourself to Pay Higher Premiums
Because you’re not at the same risk level as other people without pre-existing health conditions, you can’t expect to pay the same price as they would. Understanding that you will likely pay higher premiums than you’d like is important. If you really want to get a life insurance policy, this may be the only way you can do so.
5. Apply for a Guaranteed Issue Policy
You’ve likely seen late-night advertisements for insurance policies that guarantee issuance no matter your condition or life situation, as long as you meet the age limit. They promote that no health questions will be asked and no health screenings are required. However, these policies come with hefty premiums and the death benefits are typically limited. The other downside is that your premiums can quickly outweigh the death benefit. Your best bet is to use this as short-term coverage until you can find a normal life insurance policy. If you’ve already tried risk-impaired brokerages, then this may be your only available option. With this option, make sure to still let them know about your health condition, so to ensure that the policy won’t be canceled if you were to pass away early.
6. Invest in Mutual Funds
One place where your money won’t be turned down is in the banking world. With mutual funds, you can invest your money and get a good return on investment. If you are currently banking somewhere, you can ask a broker there about available mutual funds and the interest rates you’ll receive on the account. Make sure to add beneficiaries to the account, so that if you were to pass away the money can go to your loved ones.
7. Enroll in a Group Life Insurance Plan
A lot of employers offer group life insurance policies. See if your employer offers one that you can enroll in. A lot of these plans don’t require health screenings, which will enable you to slide pass without being targeted for your pre-existing medical condition. In most cases, you will have to sign up during open enrollment in order to bypass medical examinations. This option is typically more affordable than other plans because it is a group policy. There are other group coverage options you can consider if your employer doesn’t offer one. You’ll just need to find people to enroll into the policy with you.
Finding life insurance can be hard when you have a pre-existing condition, but it isn’t always impossible. The type of condition you have and its severity will play a major role in whether you get approved and how high your premium rates will be. A bonus way to help improve your chances of getting a life insurance policy is to make healthy changes to your lifestyle. Going to the doctor more often, working out and improving your diet are factors insurers are looking for now, especially if it has been proven that these changes can prolong life with that particular condition. Hopefully, you’ll find these tips helpful enough to get you a policy to protect your loved ones from your untimely demise.

Last week, Samsung has confirmed that it is facing a security flaw in its in-screen fingerprint scanners on its Galaxy S10, S10 Plus, and Note 10 devices. Apparently, these devices can be unlocked using any fingerprint.
Now, this poses a major security threat because anyone can then have access to your smartphone. Fortunately, Samsung is very quick to address the issue. The company immediately responded with a critical fix that millions of users need to know about.
Major fingerprint flaw on Galaxy S10, S10 Plus, and Note 10 devices
The major flaw was discovered when a user put on a $3.50 screen protector on their device. After that, any fingerprint would unlock the device. This just confirmed previous reports that adding a screen protector to the aforementioned devices could introduce an air gap that interfered with the ultrasonic scanner.
In fact, Samsung said in its official statement that, “we advise that Galaxy Note10/10+ and S10/S10+/S10 5G users who use such covers to remove the cover, delete all previous fingerprints and newly register their fingerprints. If you currently use front screen protective covers, to ensure optimum fingerprint scanning, please refrain from using this cover until your device has been updated with a new software patch.”
Samsung quickly addresses the fingerprint issue on some of its devices
It seems that the cheap silicone can fool the devices’ in-display fingerprint reader. Imagine having everything, including your banking apps, authenticated by your fingerprint, can now be accessed by strangers.
Fortunately, the South Korean phone manufacturer was quick to address the fingerprint security issue. As picked-up by PiunikaWeb, Samsung has started rolling out an emergency hotfix to the Galaxy S10 series and Note 10 devices.
According to the PiunikaWeb, the Galaxy Note 10 5G variant appears to be the first one to receive the hotfix as an OTA update. This comes as no surprise since this device has very limited availability, thus, making the distribution far easier.
Also, since the Galaxy Note 10 5G already received the October security patch, the hotfix remains on the same patch. With that said, security patch rollouts almost immediately afterward to the Galaxy S10, S10 Plus, and Note 10 devices.
Users of the Galaxy S10, S10 Plus, and Note 10 need to watch out for Samsung’s hotfix
Since this issue erupted last week, Samsung promised the update would be “released as early as next week”. Given that it is already Monday in its home country, South Korea, Samsung has kept true to its word.
However, US owners will have to wait at least until Monday morning to see the update. But, you can check your phones manually and see whether the update is already available.
Samsung has ambitious plans for the year 2020. In fact, a lot of information about the upcoming Galaxy S11 has already been leaked, but the company is also thinking more widely under-display smartphone cameras and potentially new revolutionary battery. If the update turns out to be a real fix, then there is no doubt that the company can again focus on its future plans.

We present the results from a thorough investigation of the bond strength between the photo-polymer SU-8 and Au. The data were obtained by pull-test experiments, below the glass transition temperature of the polymer. The different aspects that we investigated were:(i)the effect of using different adhesion promotors between the SU-8 and Au; (ii) the influence of the processing sequence, keeping either Au or SU-8 as the bottom layer; (iii) the importance of the UV exposure dosage of the SU-8. For comparison, also the bond strength between SU-8 and other materials was measured. For SU-8 and Au without any adhesion promoter we find a bond strength of 4.8+/-1.2 MPa for a 7.5 micr.-layer of SU-8. The value of the bond strength can be increased additionally by up to 75% using an adhesion promoter and fully optimising the processing con- ditions of the SU-8.

We might not see them often, but they are the heroes we need.
Who are they? Dentists, of course.
And just like heroes, dentists are leveling up thanks to ever-evolving technologies.
Universities that offer dentistry courses in Malaysia work closely with industry partners so that students are able to keep up with the advances in technology in their field.
You can read about the education pathway for dentistry here.
If you’re curious about how technology has changed dentistry, check out these 8 examples:
1. 3D Printing
3D Printing is increasingly available for a number of solutions, and dentistry is no different.
3D could be used to create orthodontic appliances, dentures and dental implants.
Those items can be created and manufactured through CAD (computer-aided design) and CAM (computer-aided manufacturing).
Some dentists are already using the CAD/CAM technology to help create the necessary solution for its patients.
Teledentistry is the quickest and easiest way for those who need a dentist.
With quick, on-the-spot service, teledentistry is the best solution to dental and oral care.
It can provide pain relief, and even on-site assessment for those who need it.
This creates access and options for those who require the services of a dentist.
3. Augmented Reality (AR)
Another advancement that is adopted by dentistry is augmented reality.
While this technology is primarily used in video games, the adaptation of it in dentistry could cause a ripple effect.
Dental schools around the world are using a simulator that pairs AR with a mannequin for students to practice performing procedures.
This helps them identify problem areas and develop their skills accordingly.
4. Virtual Reality (VR)
Unlike AR, virtual reality isolates the user through a dedicated headset and puts the user in a virtual environment.
Through a virtual reality headset, students can watch a surgeon during a surgery.
In 2015, the first dental surgery was held in VR and allowed those who watched to virtually assist during the procedure.
VR also can be used to help alleviate a patient’s anxiety when at the dentist’s office.
5. Smart Toothbrush
Nowadays, more companies are pushing out smart home devices and toothbrush is one of them.
New models not only help patients clean their teeth but they also can use games to teach kids good oral care at home.
However, as with all smart devices you run the risk of your data being shared with third parties.
So choose the smart toothbrush that will give you more control over your data.
6. Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Dentists have been using AI-powered software to help them in their clinical decision-making.
AI algorithms can analyse health data and make diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations for patients based on data gathered.
Aside from that, AI algorithms too have helped researchers gain better insight into various dental conditions, such as dental decay and periodontal disease.
Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) is part of genetic engineering, where it allows scientists to alter genetic code.
It could potentially eliminate hereditary diseases, and oral diseases such as periodontal disease and tooth decay.
Currently, studies are ongoing on how CRISPR can disrupt the production of bacteria and biofilm formation, thus possibly eliminating oral plaque.
8. Intra-oral Camera
It might seem like the most natural usage, but it wasn’t until recently that cameras were used by dentist in their procedures.
By including the intra-oral camera as part of its tools, dentists are finding it easier to examine a patient.
The intra-oral camera offers patients a more comfortable experience and dentists more detailed images.
The technologies listed above are just a glimmer of the advancement that are used or developed for dentistry.
More are being developed as technology continue to evolve and courses are constantly updated to reflect that.
In the meantime, come check out what dentistry courses are available in Malaysia by speaking to our counselors.

Joe was good friends with both Gary and Jillian, and introduced me to Jillian at the Tiburon Film Festival a few years ago, where we had a marvelous time together talking about Orson Welles. Unfortunately, I only got to meet Jillian a few times after that, but she was the kind of warm and friendly person you immediately took a liking to.
Here is Joe's tribute to Jillian:
I'm sorry to report that Jillian Kesner-Graver, cinematographer Gary Graver's widow, died unexpectedly on Dec. 5, 2007.
She had been living in Rancho Mirage, California, and was under treatment for what evidently was leukemia. She was taken Tuesday to the ER, where she died on Wednesday of a staph infection at the age of 57. It was very hard for Jillian to deal with the death of her beloved Gary in November 2006, but she continued to be active in running his equipment and film operations, traveling back and forth between the desert and Los Angeles, and helping with the planned OTHER SIDE OF THE WIND postproduction project.
I told Jillian recently that she was a key member of VISTOW ("Volunteers in Service to Orson Welles"), the informal organization of people who have devoted much of their lives to keeping his work alive. She was delighted to have that designation. She was invited to a film festival in South Korea this summer and did a marvelous job of speaking about Gary and his legacy. She wrote me: "It was such an honor to be able to talk about him to 200 enthusiastic film buffs. I remember a conversation we had at our house a few years ago and you encouraged me by saying, 'You know more than you think you do!' I'll never forget that and I got the chance to share my stories this summer when I was invited to Seoul and Pusan (they have the biggest festival in Asia) to honor Gary. It was a phenomenal experience and it was the first time I was speaking without Gary there by my side. I wasn't about to turn down the opportunity to pay tribute to him and it could not have gone better!"
Jillian was a kind, friendly, loyal, and lovely person and an astute businesswoman who worked closely with Gary on many of his films as an associate producer and production coordinator and in paying tribute to Welles with him around the world. She loved traveling with Gary and arranging with festivals and museums to show their program of his work with Welles. In her earlier career, she had appeared as an actress in numerous low-budget films, notably starring in Cirio H. Santiago's FIRECRACKER, a 1981 kickboxing movie made in the Philippines and released by Roger Corman. She met Gary when he photographed THE STUDENT BODY (1976), in which she appeared — she was proud of the fact that this is the film the two men are watching at the Texas drive-in theater in Errol Morris's THE THIN BLUE LINE (as actually happened). On TV she had appeared in such series as HAPPY DAYS, MORK AND MINDY, and THE ROCKFORD FILES. She was also in Gary's film TRICK OR TREATS and Oja Kodar's JADED.
Jillian is survived by her mother, Patricia; her two sisters, Connie and Cindy; two stepsons, Sean Graver and Chris Graver; and many nieces and nephews.
A memorial to Jillian is being discussed for the Egyptian Theater/American Cinematheque in Hollywood in January. Jillian and Sean Graver organized the tribute to Gary there just this year. She gave a moving speech about him and her devotion to his memory. As she wrote me on November 6, "It is still the first year since Gary's passing, so I am finding my way in the world without him (he is with me and helping me all the time) but his level of talent and passion was so incredible it was hard to keep up with him, now I am grasping for answers! Now I know what Gary meant in his memorial speech for Orson . . . 'I want to ask him so many things,' that's how I feel about Gary."
Now we miss her too and wish we could ask her so many things.

white facet vaseh 25cm
the first facet vase was a spare neck for a sake server
that I designed for an exhibition in Tokyo in 2010.
the Bauhaus tokkuri is essentially a closed cylinder
topped off by an eccentric neck/spout.
a surplus neck, roughly trimmed with a knife,
struck me as being a nice small vase, so I fired it
and the facet vase was created.

Two members of the Supreme Court Collegium have objected to a letter sent by Chief Justice of India UU Lalit seeking their consent to appoint four judges to the apex court.
Hindustan Times had earlier reported that CJI Lalit had in an unprecedented move written a letter to his fellow judges in the collegium seeking their consent for appointment of four new judges to the Supreme Court.
The following names were recommended for elevation in the letter:
Justice Ravi Shankar Jha (Chief Justice of Punjab & Haryana High Court)
Justice Sanjay Karol (Chief Justice of Patna High Court)
Justice PV Sanjay Kumar (Chief Justice of Manipur High Court)
Senior Advocate KV Viswanathan.
As per the usual convention, the Collegium holds physical meetings to discuss names for elevation, at which consensus of the five judges is sought.
Sources clarified to Bar & Bench that the two judges took objection only to the unprecedented nature of this "letter by circulation," and not to the candidates who have been recommended, “since (Collegium) deliberations are involved" before recommending elevations.
A source informed Bar & Bench that the CJI had sent the letter to all the judges of the Collegium on October 1, following which two judges refused to grant consent.
“This is an unprecedented act. There are reasons, merits and demerits why a judge is not elevated and putting them in writing is not proper. It was also declined as a matter of process. The solemnity of the process cannot be compromised,” said the source close to the development.
The Collegium was slated to hold a meeting on September 30 to confirm names to be recommended for appointment to the Supreme Court. However, the meeting could not be held since the second senior-most judge, Justice DY Chandrachud, was holding court till 9:10 pm on that day.


There has been improvements in the bearing sector particularly in the manufacture of drawer slides. Today, there is a wide variety of drawer slides in the market today. However, it makes it difficult and a daunting experience in choosing the best drawer slides for your application.
In simple words, a table slide rail is a component that is used for the sliding mechanism for various objects and applications. Without it, you may not be able to slide out something like a drawer from its own body. It probably belongs to the product category of industrial grade components or hardware that may be used in an everyday object like drawers.
The ball bearing slide rails have found application in several areas but in the office and our homes. Of peculiar interest is its application in our kitchen appliances. The slide rails play a key role in the kitchen as they aid in several activities in the kitchen.
The ball bearing slide rail has found application in several areas ranging from the simple drawers to the automobile industries. Of special interest is its application in the design of the car armrest. Modern automotive interior design has become very important for the differentiation of brands.
Medical devices are considered all those elements (including the mattress) that can be used to facilitate the hygiene, comfort, and well-being of the patient. Most medical devices would need accessories to function properly.

ALLEN PARK — Havard Rugland, the Norwegian kicker better known as Kickalicious, has been cut by the Detroit Lions.
It’s not a surprise.
Rugland, who was signed by the Lions as a free agent, had never played in a football game at any level. He had never worn a football helmet until the first day of rookie camp in May.
Yet according to coach Jim Schwartz he passed each test along the way.
In his first game — a preseason win over the New York Jets — Rugland kicked field goals of 49 and 50 yards. His excitement and enthusiasm was contagious, the whole team was behind him.
Rugland gained worldwide attention with a four-minute YouTube video showing him kicking a football into a garbage can, through a basketball hoop, into a moving boat and more.
He spent months in the United States working with retired kicker Michael Husted.
His release does not necessarily mean his NFL dream is dead. Other teams will probably take a look and if a kicker goes down, he could get the call.
David Akers was the kicker signed to replace Jason Hanson. Rugland was signed in part because he too was a left-footed kicker.
The Lions also released cornerback DeQuan Menzie.
They have three more cuts to make before 4 p.m. today (Tuesday) to get the roster down to 75.

If you arrange many pedals on a complex pedalboard the question of the order of the pedals arises. This matter is more complex than one first might think. Therefore one has to note some rules and some exceptions.
In first place one mostly places the tuner. The advantage of this placing is that you can tune your guitar precisely without turning off your modulation-effects. Another possibility is, to connect the tuner to a special output of a volume-pedal or a looper. Thereby the tuner is totally removed from the signal-chain and can stay turned on all the time. Furthermore it does not influence the sound by its built-in buffer.
Envelope / dynamic effects
Dynamic effects like the Wahwah or the Autowah should also be placed in the first places of the effect-chain. Notably the Autowah (the envelope, which is controlled by the attack of a string) is able to react more precisely to the direct signal.
The Wahwah can be found in front of, or behind a fuzz-pedal, but always in one of the first places of the effect-chain.
The overdrive is also mostly placed at the beginning of the chain of effects. At this position it reacts most dynamic. It makes sense to place overdrives that reproduce the sound of an amplifier further back in the arrangement.
Booster or low-gain-overdrives can be placed behind a delay. In this way you can imitate the sound of an old tape- or analog-delay.
The compressor is mostly used in front of the overdrives, which gives you a nice and compressed overdrive-sound. But on the other hand one cannot control the amount of gain of the following drive-pedal by the attack of the strings. Because of this, I personally would always place the compressor behind the overdrive. If you put it into a moderate tuning the sound will be more compact and a little bit more like an overdriven amp.
If you use the volume-pedal at the beginning of the effect-chain it functions just like the volume-pot of a guitar. By this one is able reduce the volume and control the amount of gain of the following overdrive- or distortion- pedal.
By using the volume-pedal behind the overdrives, the amount of gain will stay constantly even if you reduce the volume. Delays and decays will not be cut off if the volume-pedal is placed in the back of the row.
Pedals like flanger, chorus, phaser, uni-vibe and tremolo are also known as modulation-effects. In this article I tell you more about the differences between the several modulation-effects.
There are many ways to arrange modulation-pedals. Mostly they are placed between the overdrive and delay/reverb. One can place them as well in front as behind the overdrive. In my opinion the uni-vibe sounds much better in front of the overdrive-pedal.
The tremolo can also be arranged in different places. Many times it is placed in the last space in front of the delay and reverb. But also behind a delay or maybe even behind a reverb-pedal it is able to create pretty nice rhythmic modulations. You can find reverb and tremolo integrated into old Fender blackface or Fender silverface amps. It is also placed behind the reverb and therefore creates three-dimensional vibrations.
Delay and Reverb
Delays and reverbs are mostly placed in the back of the effect-order. If they have got stereo outputs it is interesting to try them with two amps. There is nothing against using the reverb in front of the delay. Especially if you want to create ambient-sounds they can sound in a certain way “vanishing”.
You see, there are many ways to put your pedals in a certain order and I think that there is no “one and only” rule. It is worth it to try different orders depending to the sound you are willing to create. A Jimi Hendrix cover will require a different order of pedals than a shoegazing-song.
You can find an overview of the story of effect-pedals here.

ORBITAL AWARDED CONTRACT FOR THAICOM 6
-- New Order Is Company's Second Commercial Satellite Contract in 2011 --
-- Thaicom 6 to Provide Ku- and C-Band Services to South and Southeast Asia and
Southern Africa --
(Dulles, VA 13 June 2011) - Orbital Sciences Corporation (NYSE: ORB) announced today that THAICOM Plc. (SET Index: THCOM) has awarded the company a firm contract for the Thaicom 6 communications satellite. Based on Orbital's GEOStar-2(TM) satellite platform, the Thaicom 6 satellite will be designed, manufactured and tested at Orbital's satellite manufacturing facility in Dulles, VA. The Thaicom 6 satellite is planned to be launched in mid-2013.
Mr. Arak Chonlatanon, THAICOM's Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased that we have signed up with Orbital as the manufacturer of our sixth THAICOM satellite. Orbital is a leading manufacturer of smaller-size satellites, which matched our requirements in terms of performance, price and schedule. Orbital's GEOStar satellite platform will help THAICOM expand its satellite fleet in the Asian region."
The Thaicom 6 satellite's payload will offer hybrid Ku- and C-band services to the South and Southeast Asia and Southern Africa regions. The satellite will generate approximately 3.7 kilowatts of payload power and will be located at 78.5 degrees East Longitude.
Commenting on the new contract award, Mr. Christopher Richmond, Orbital's Senior Vice President of its communications satellite unit, said, "We are very pleased to welcome THAICOM as a new customer for our GEOStar satellite product line.
