We are delighted that you have shown interest in Forwoods Music Ltd. Data protection is a high priority for us.
The use of the Internet pages of Forwoods Music Ltd is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use some services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Forwoods Music Ltd.

Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this privacy policy, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, Forwoods Music Ltd has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.
The privacy policy of Forwoods Music Ltd is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology used.
In this privacy policy, we use, inter alia, the following terms:
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

The Internet pages of Forwoods Music Ltd. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.
Through the use of cookies, Forwoods Music Ltd can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognise our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
5 Collection of General Data and Information
The website of Forwoods Music Ltd collects a series of general data and information, when a data subject or an automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the log files of the server. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, which are controlled by an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, Forwoods Music Ltd does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide the law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, Forwoods Music Ltd analyzes these anonymously collected data and information, on one hand, statistically and besides with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise and, ultimately, to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
6 Registration (e.g., when creating a new customer account)
The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the controller with the provisions of personal data. Which personal data are transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for his own purposes. The controller may request the transfer to one or more processors, for example, a parcel service, who also uses the personal data for an internal use, which is attributable to the controller.
By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject, date and time of the registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate committed offenses. Insofar, the storage of this data is necessary to secure the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties, unless there is a statutory obligation to pass on the data or the transfer serves the aim of the criminal prosecution.
The registration of the data subject with the voluntary provision of personal data is intended to enable the controller to offer the person concerned contents or services that may only be offered to registered users due to the nature of the matter in question. Registered persons are free to change the personal data specified during the registration at any time, or to have it completely deleted from the data stock of the controller.
The controller shall at any time provide information on the request to each data subject as to what personal data is stored about the data subject. In addition, the data controller shall rectify or erase personal data on the request or at indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no statutory storage obligations.

9 Data Protection Provisions for the Application and Use of Google Analytics (with Anonymization Function)
On this website the controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics (with Anonymization function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web Analytics is the collection, gathering and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A Web analysis service collects, inter alia, data about from which website a person has come to another website (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages were visited or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web Analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The operation company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.
For the web analytics through Google Analytics the Controller uses the application "_gat. _anonymizeIp". By means of this application the IP address of the Internet connection of thedata subject is abridged by Google and anonymised when accessing our websites from a Member State of the European Union or another Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are is explained above. With the setting of the cookie Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject will automatically submit data through the Google-Analytics component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. In course of this technical procedure, the enterprise Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently create commission settlements.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent that Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by Google Analytics may be deleted anytime via a web browser or other software programs.
In addition, the data subject has the possibility to object to a collection of data that are generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google and to prevent such. For this purpose, the data subject must download a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript, that any data and information about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted or newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was uninstalled by the data subject or any other person that is attributable to their sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is possible to execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-ons.
10 Data Protection Provisions for the Application and Use of Google-AdWords
On his website the Controller has integrated Google AdWords. Google AdWords is a service for Internet advertising that allows the advertiser to place ads in Google search engine results and the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-define specific keywords with the help of which an ad on Google's search results only then displayed, when the user utilizes the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google Advertising Network, the ads are distributed on relevant web pages using an automatic algorithm, taking into account the previously defined keywords.
The operating company of Google AdWords is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.
If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is filed on the information technology system of the data subject through Google. What cookies are is explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after 30 days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not expired, the conversion cookie is used to check whether certain sub-pages, for example, the shopping cart from an online shop system, were called up on our website. Through the conversion cookie, both us and Google can understand whether a person who reached an AdWords ad on our website generated sales, that is, executed or canceled a sale of goods.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are used by us in order to determine the total number of users who have been served through AdWords ads to ascertain the success or failure of each AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could identify the data subject.
The conversion cookie stores personal information, for example the Internet pages visited by the data subject. Each time we visit our Internet pages, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, are transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

Ballad Sheet – The Rising of the Moon
In part 41 of this series, Eugene Dunphy tells the story of a Westmeath teenager and a rebel anthem.
On the 18th of February, 1863, the Dublin Weekly Nation published 'A Lesson', a poem written in praise of those Polish insurgents who in January of that year, dared to rebel against Russian rule: 'She is true to the hopes of the gallant departed; She is true to the cries of the crush'd, broken-hearted'. The poem was penned by 'Leo', a pseudonym used by sixteen-year-old John Keegan Casey, an exemplary young poet who would soon go on to write 'The Rising of the Moon'.
The eldest of three children of Luke Casey, a teacher, and Margaret Keegan, John Keegan Casey was born on the 22nd of August, 1846, at Mount Dalton, about ten miles from Mullingar in County Westmeath. Shortly after, Luke received news of a new teaching post in County Longford, the Casey family moved to Gurteen, near Ballymahon, where young John continued to write poetry, and sometimes assisted his dad in teaching classes at the local school.
Described by the Dublin-based newspaper, The Irishman, as 'a tall, well-built man, with large blue and dreamy eyes, and an oval-shaped face on which there was always an expression of mildness', John K. Casey got caught up in the tide of nationalism that swept through parts of Ireland in the early 1860s.
He joined the Fenian movement, and on Christmas Eve 1864 the Dublin Weekly Nation published another offering by 'Leo', 'The Rising of the Moon, AD 1798', a spirited five-verse poem written in praise of the United Irishmen. Though there was no indication as to what melody the poem should be sung, when it was subsequently included in Wreath of Shamrocks, Casey's collection of original verse published by Robert McKee of Dublin in October 1866, the one-line accompanying note read as follows: 'Air: The Wearing of the Green'. Thus marked the birth of the ballad, one welcomed by nationalists, but branded as 'seditious' by the authorities.
In March 1867, Casey was arrested in County Roscommon, under the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act, and sentenced to eight months in prison. Released from Dublin's Mountjoy Gaol in November, he returned to Ballymahon, his health in tatters but his spirit intact. In January of the following year, he married Mary Josephine Briscoe, in Marlborough Street Church, Dublin, the couple setting up home in the Summerhill area of the city.
'The Rising of the Moon' had now established itself as one of the touchstones of Irish nationalism, and was frequently sung at fairs by travelling ballad-singers, all of whom ran the risk of being arrested under the same Act that put Casey behind bars.
On the 1st of August, 1868, Head-Constable Barry witnessed an impoverished-looking man called Donoghue singing the song in Broad Street, Waterford. He arrested Donoghue on the spot. Brought before Resident Magistrate George Ignatius Goold, Donoghue was severely reprimanded before being released with a caution.

All parts of the milkweed contain a mild poison. Just as the monarch caterpillar can eat some and survive, so can we. Just don't overdo it, or you may experience gastrointestinal distress.
Prepare the fruit by removing pits or seeds and cutting into bite sized pieces. Strawberries, blueberries, cherries, and peaches are in my markets when the milkweed is blooming.
Put the cottage cheese into a serving bowl. Add prepared fruit and milkweed blossoms and stir gently to mix. Sprinkle nuts on top and serve.
On the sunniest day of the summer, look in fields and along roadsides for the yellow flowers of Hypericum perforatum (aka St. John's/St. Joan's wort) and get ready to make two of the Great Remedies. Take both 100 proof vodka and pure olive oil with you when you go out to stalk St. John's/St. Joan's wort, bottles of various sizes, and a pair of sharp scissors.
Depending on the abundance or scarcity of flowers, I harvest anything from just the blossoms to the top third of the Hypericum plant. So long as the day is sunny and the plants dry the tincture will be active and medicinal even if it contains a fair amount of stalk and leaves. I also make a quart of this tincture as I use it frequently, in dropperful doses.
If you are using tops rather than just flowers, chop as needed. I often harvest Hypericum flowers right into my jar and fill it with vodka or oil while still afield, insuring optimum freshness and maximum fairy blessings.
Cover tightly. Label. I do not put my oil in the sun, but some people swear by it. Try one each way and see what you think. Your St. J's tincture and your St. J's oil will be ready to use in six weeks.
Red-leaved shiso, also known by the awkward name "beefsteak plant," is wonderfully easy to grow and a delight to the eyes and the palate. Like holy basil (tulsi) – its sister – shiso is an adaptogen with high levels of antioxidants.
I love shiso in salads, gazpacho, marinated cucumber dishes, and anywhere else a dash of color and an interesting taste is welcome. Right now I am making shiso vinegar, shiso honey, and shiso pesto so I can enjoy it all winter too.
This pungent, aromatic, warming herb is known for its antibacterial, antiseptic, antispasmodic, antitussive, tonic, carminative, diaphoretic, emollient, expectorant, and pectoral actions. No wonder its considered so useful when dealing with asthma, colds and chills, nausea (a tea of the stalks is traditional in China as a remedy for morning sickness), abdominal pain, food poisoning, allergic reactions (especially from seafood), bronchitis and even constipation. The juice helps heal cuts and wounds.
The high-protein tasty seeds are antiasthmatic, antitussive, emollient and expectorant. But don't eat too many, as shiso self-sows readily if sufficient seeds are left on the stalks. As with all mints, there are lots of varieties of shiso available. I prefer the red-leaved shiso because I am into consuming high levels of the antioxidant anthocyanin, found in purple and blue plant parts.

Honda's First U.S. Auto Plant Celebrates 25 Years of Production
WEBWIRE – Monday, November 5, 2007
The first Japanese auto plant to build a car in America1 turns 25 today, marking a milestone that brought innovation to the U.S. auto industry and vaulted Honda (www.honda.com) to a leadership position. The 5,300 associates at Honda's Marysville Auto Plant will not miss a beat as they spend the day building more than 1,800 cars and light trucks. Later this month, they will hit another milestone - production of the plant's nine-millionth vehicle.
Associates recently launched the eighth-generation Honda Accord at the plant. The Accord was the plant's first vehicle and it remains the plant's core product. The U.S. is the most important market for the Accord by far, with sales of more than 300,000 units through September, mostly built in the Marysville Auto Plant. Nearly 80 percent of all Honda and Acura vehicles sold in America are built at one of Honda's six auto plants in North America.
At 25 years, the Marysville plant and its associates continue as a driving force for Honda and the auto industry. Honda brought its unique brand of teamwork and associate involvement to manufacturing when it established Honda of America Mfg., Inc. near Marysville to begin motorcycle manufacturing in 1979. Success of that startup quickly led that same year to the bold decision to build an auto plant as well. At the time, the company was still a relative newcomer to the automobile business and only a fraction the size of Japan's established automakers.
"People are always asking why Honda has been so successful," said Honda of America President Akio Hamada. "The answer is simple: our associates. Their involvement and teamwork to achieve the highest quality for our customers and improve our operations have continuously driven us forward to higher levels and greater achievements."
Honda's approach to auto manufacturing was new to America with a foundation built on customer satisfaction, a high level of teamwork and a passion for overcoming challenges. The Marysville plant introduced many new concepts to the U.S. auto industry, including just-in-time parts delivery, quick die changes in metal stamping, rolling model changes to launch new vehicles without stopping production and a high level of flexible model production.
Honda's automotive experience in Ohio became the model for Honda globally, Hamada said, in terms of local production, developing a local supplier network and recognizing the importance of working closely with communities. "We have been building cars in Ohio since 1982," he said. "This has been possible because we have grown together with communities like Marysville."
As the first Accord sedans began rolling off the line Nov. 1, 1982, Honda associates who were building cars in small numbers with nearly identical content and in only a few colors also had little manufacturing experience. In the last two months of 1982, fewer than 1,000 Accords were produced as the associates focused on mastering their car-building skills. By the end of 1982, they were making 160 cars per day.
The Accord was a much simpler product then, said Tim Hines, who was among the first associates at the auto plant. "While getting ready for mass production, we were producing maybe six cars per day, really focusing on assuring quality on every part of the vehicles," Hines said. "Those were perfect cars, because we were learning to build quality first, and then the product."
Today, the Marysville plant has the capacity to build 440,000 vehicles per year on two lines. Exercising the flexibility to build multiple models on the production line, associates have now added production of light trucks. In addition to the Accord sedan and coupe, they build the Acura TL luxury sedan, and the Acura RDX sport utility vehicle.
"The Marysville Auto Plant may be 25 years old on the outside, but it is a new plant on the inside," said Plant Manager Sam Harpest. "It has always been changing, and there isn't a more flexible plant in the industry with our level of quality and productivity."
At one point during the launch of the '08 Accord sedan and coupe, production of the old and new models overlapped during the transition. "To the credit of our associates, this team carried out the most complicated model launch in our history," Harpest said. "No other plant in America has the flexibility and experienced workforce to build six different vehicles at the same time.
The Marysville plant validated Honda's philosophy to design, engineer and manufacture products close to the customer. Building on its success in Marysville, Honda has continued establishing plants in North America and the world to meet demand for unique products by building them locally in each region.

Indian Super League 2020-21
ISL 2020-21: Hyderabad FC take on Odisha FC in a crucial tie at Fatorda
The game kicks off at 7:30 pm on Tuesday and will be telecasted live on the Star Sports Network with live streaming on Disney+ Hotstar and JioTV.
by Abhinav Kumar Singh January 18, 2021, 6:05 PM
Just two days after a confidence-boosting performance against Mumbai City, Hyderabad FC are back in action when they host Odisha FC, at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda, on Tuesday in the seventh season of Indian Super League (ISL 2020-21).
The two sides faced each other in the first game of the league season as Stuart Baxter's Odisha were beaten 1-0 by HFC, thanks to a penalty from Aridane Santana. Since that game, Odisha have picked up just six points, and find themselves at the bottom of the league table going into this Round-12 clash.
But that result will not matter when the two sides face off on Tuesday, claims HFC Head Coach Manolo Marquez. "The last time we faced Odisha, it was a really different game. We were maybe the better side but needed a penalty to win and anyone who follows this league will know that anything can happen tomorrow," said Manolo, on the eve of the clash.
Baxter's men have had some unlucky results in recent weeks, but have lost just two of their last five league games. Diego Mauricio, who now has six goals to his name, has been in fine form while Steven Taylor and Cole Alexander have been ever-present.
The likes of Jacob Tratt, Jerry Mawihmingthanga, George D'Souza, Vinit Rai and Manuel Onwu are all capable of turning things around and are sure to pose a threat to Hyderabad, in this tie.
"Odisha are surely playing better in the last few games. They do not deserve to be where they are in the table, and I expect them to give us a tough fight tomorrow," said Manolo, speaking about his opponents.
Hyderabad, on the other hand, put in an inspired display against Mumbai City in a game where they dominated the hosts and could have easily taken all three points. This followed back-to-back victories over Chennaiyin and NorthEast United, so they will be confident going into the game.
However, Manolo believes that his side cannot rest on the previous results and need to be at their best on the night on Tuesday. "The results in the past do not count for much. They are not very important as of now. What is important is how the team plays tomorrow and that is all I am concerned about at the moment," he added.
The likes of Liston Colaco, Joel Chianese and Aridane Santana had their chances against Mumbai but failed to take them. The addition of Roland Alberg will also give them some impetus in attack.
Speaking about injuries, Manolo said, "We have had just two sessions since the last game. At the moment, the players who were unavailable in the last game, remain on the sidelines."
Odisha beat Kerala before playing consecutive games against Chennaiyin, where they managed to take just a point. Hyderabad, on the other hand, have taken seven points from their last three games and will want to build on that form, going into this clash.
However, with games coming thick and fast, Manolo wants his side to stay grounded and take one game at a time. "We have to work hard again. We have games against Jamshedpur and Bengaluru coming up but right now, our focus is only on the game against Odisha and we want to do as well as we can in this game."

GrabCar fined for unauthorised disclosure of customer data in 120,000 marketing emails
SINGAPORE — GrabCar has been ordered to pay a financial penalty of S$16,000 after it sent out more than 120,000 marketing emails to customers containing the name and mobile phone number of another customer.
Reuters file photo
GrabCar traced the cause of the incident to the "erroneous assembly" of customer information from different database tables.
The Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) found that GrabCar, which is part of the Grab Group, had "failed to make reasonable security arrangements" to detect the errors in their database when sending out the emails.
In the grounds of decision on Tuesday (Jun 11), the commissioner pointed out that GrabCar had made a "grave error" in not conducting "proper user acceptance testing" before the emails were sent out.
PDPC was notified of GrabCar's error by GrabTaxi Holdings on Jan 5, 2018.
MIX-UP IN DATABASES
The commissioner said that GrabCar frequently sends out marketing emails offering "special promotions to selected customers".
On Dec 17, 2017, the company sent out 399,751 marketing emails to customers as part of a campaign.
Within that, 120,747 emails contained the name and mobile phone number of another customer other than the intended recipient.
Shortly after the emails went out, the Customer Experience team at GrabCar was alerted to an increased number of customer queries about the unauthorised disclosure of personal data.
GrabCar then traced the cause of the incident to the "erroneous assembly" of customer information from different database tables.
In response to queries from CNA, Grab said that the incident occurred due to a mismatched database, resulting in each affected customer's name and phone number being disclosed to one other individual.
According to the commissioner's findings, it was not disputed by the company that the personal data was disclosed "mistakenly and without authorisation".
"The commissioner finds that the organisation did not have adequate measures in place to detect whether the changes it made to the system that held personal data introduced errors that put the personal data it was processing at risk," it was stated.
The commissioner said the data leak arose "in part because of administrative failures" and that GrabCar had admitted the "technical documentation" of its verified email database was not sufficiently clear.
"There were shortcomings in the way the organisation conducted tests.Tests were conducted on non-verified email addresses instead of on both non-verified and verified email addresses."
The testers did not discover the mismatch because the test email addresses were not verified and therefore not affected when the databases were joined.
"In the circumstances, the commissioner finds that the organisation had failed to make reasonable security arrangements to detect errors when preparing the change, in other words, writing the database query, as well as in failing to conduct proper testing before implementing the change," said the commissioner.
GRAB "DEEPLY REGRETS" INCIDENT; INTRODUCES NEW PROCESSES
In its statement to CNA, Grab said that it "deeply regrets" the incident.
"Grab takes data protection and our users' privacy very seriously, and deeply regrets that this incident occurred.
"When the incident was discovered on 17 December 2017, we reported it to the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) immediately," a Grab spokesperson said.
GrabCar had asked for a reduction in the financial penalty, saying it had alerted the commission voluntarily and implemented a remediation plan.
That plan included more rigorous data validation and changing its practices to require a third person to perform "sanity checks" of the data before starting new marketing campaigns.
It said it plans to mask mobile phone numbers in future campaigns as well.
"To prevent a recurrence, we had immediately put in place more rigorous data validation and checks, including new processes that require a third person to perform sanity checks on data as well as masking phone numbers in all marketing campaigns," the Grab spokesperson added.
"Grab is committed to comply with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), and apologise for any anxiety caused." CNA

Dating John Mayer A Bad Career Move, Singer Jokes With Andy Cohen On 'WWHL'
Charles SykesBravo
John Mayer has a long list of celebrity ex-girlfriends, but now he's admitting that, based on his track record, there are some stars who want nothing to do with him. Mayer made a surprise appearance on pal Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live to honor the host's 50th birthday. During the chat, Mayer thanked the birthday boy for opening the door for him to hang out with A-listers who would normally stay far away from him.
"You have a lot of friends who, without you, would want nothing to do with me," Mayer told Cohen, according to E! News. "You're friends with Jennifer Lawrence, who just doesn't want anything to do with me."
John Mayer went on to explain that he doesn't have the greatest track record with famous female celebs. John's long list of A-list exes includes Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Simpson, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and Jennifer Love Hewitt, who made such an impression that she reportedly had a song written about her (Mayer's 2002 hit "Your Body is a Wonderland.")
Of his checkered dating past, Mayer told Cohen the following.
"Look, I don't have the world's greatest track record when it comes to celebrity relationships, so it's amazing to watch your friends humor me on a friend level, but also keep a fair distance from me. It's really, really fun, because if you are someone who cares about your image—and you take this job because it looks right, you don't take that job—dating John Mayer at this point is conceptually just sort of a no-no. So, it's really fun to get to hang out with your friends—A-list star friends—who otherwise would be highly uncomfortable sitting around me!"
John also joked that he is "slowly but surely" setting himself up "for another disastrous celebrity relationship so that I can wake a month later and be back 10 years in time."

John Mayer isn't kidding when he says he's had some disastrous relationships. The singer is known for kissing and telling, and his breakup with Jennifer Aniston was notoriously bad. Andy Cohen even dished about it in his book, Superficial, writing about running into the Friends star at a restaurant when she was out with Mayer. In his book, Cohen revealed he wanted to say hello to Aniston and he asked John to go over to her table with him. But Andy revealed that John "told me with a look that the Queen of Smartwater would not be having it" and he quickly exited the eatery.
And after a disastrous short fling with Taylor Swift in 2010, Mayer was rumored to be the subject of her scathing song, "Dear John."
While Swift never confirmed the song was about him, Mayer told Rolling Stone he didn't deserve to be name-checked in the bitter breakup anthem which talks about his "dark twisted games."
"I'm pretty good at taking accountability now, and I never did anything to deserve that. It was a really lousy thing for her to do," Mayer told Rolling Stone. "I was really caught off-guard and it really humiliated me at a time when I'd already been dressed down."
Mayer also made waves in 2010 when he described ex-girlfriend Jessica Simpson as "sexual napalm" in an interview with Playboy. Mayer dished to the men's magazine about his sexually charged relationship with Simpson, describing the singer as "a drug."
"Yeah, that girl is like crack cocaine to me, Mayer told Playboy, according to the Daily Mail. "Sexually it was crazy. That's all I'll say. It was like napalm, sexual napalm. Did you ever say, 'I want to quit my life and just f**king snort you?'"
Simpson later hit back at Mayer during an appearance on The View.
"I thought he was stupid for breaking up with me," she said. "And he'll never have this napalm again."
You can see John Mayer talking to his good pal Andy Cohen about dating and much more in the video below.

While solar thermal power plants aren't expanding as rapidly as I hoped, innovation in the CSP(V) sector is continuing to occur. RNE has a report on Australian company Raygen which is looking to build a CSPV plant in China - Australia's RayGen fast-tracks 10MW CSVP power plant in China.
Australian solar technology developer RayGen Resources says it will accelerate the time line for its first major commercial-scale project for its concentrated solar PV technology (CSPV), and intends to have a 10MW system built in China within two years.
The Melbourne-based RayGen, which has a small pilot facility in Victoria, says the deal with China Intense Solar will see a 200kW pilot plant completed by March, 2015, followed by a 1 MW demonstration soon after.
Will this be yet another solar tech transfer from Oz to OS that will later be shipped back to Oz?
This article, below the one touting "super intelligence" tells me in which country the development of the later is being deliberately stunted.
China has been signalling for some time that it will eventually turn away from coal, yet Australian policy has seemingly ignored these signals.
Even as China acts, Abbott still shits out the rhetoric that Australia wont act on climate (and I guess energy) policy until China and others do.

When the time comes to start a family, Italians tend to pick classic names for their children.
Traditionally, Italian children are named after their grandparents, meaning that many names are repeated throughout the generations.
Interestingly, in the Belpaese, it's illegal to give your child the same moniker as you.
We're all familiar with typical Italian boy names such as Giuseppe, Francesco, Mario and Giovanni.
But there are many older and emerging Italian names which are less common and are the perfect choice for those who want to stand out a little while still embracing their Italian heritage.
Take a look at our top picks of unique Italian names for boys.
Agosto: Italian variation of August; the perfect name for a little boy born in the eighth month.
Amedeo: Meaning "lover of God"; a whimsical and heavenly name.
Arturo: Italian version of Arthur; a sophisticated name for a baby wise beyond his years.
Aurelio: Meaning "the golden one"; an exotic name that will definitely stand out from the crowd.
Cielo: Italian for "sky"; one for nature lovers.
Corrado: Italian variation of Conrad; a name fit for a leader.
Cosimo: Meaning "cosmos"; the perfect name for a future star.
Dante: Medieval short form of the name Durante, meaning "to last or endure"; a short yet stunning name for art and literature lovers.
Edoardo: Italian version of Edward; a romantic take on a classic name.
Egidio: Italian variation of Giles; a strong name that won't be forgotten quickly.
Fedele: Meaning "faithful"; an elegant name that roles of the tongue.
Fiero: Italian for "proud"; a bold name for a strong baby boy.
Ignazio: Meaning "fiery"; a great choice for an energetic little boy.
Michele: Italian variation of Michael; pronounced mi-KE-le, not like the girl name Michelle.
Pio: Meaning "pious"; a short and snappy name for a trendy tot.
Raffaello: Italian version of Raphael; a striking and poetic name.
Santo: Meaning "saint"; a name that sounds oh-so-Italian but will be easy for non-Italians to pronounce.
Salvatore: Italian for "saviour"; an unmistakably Italian name which is a little less common abroad.
Saverio: Italian variation of Xavier; a peculiar name for a baby who will become the life of the party.
Tiberio: Meaning "from the river Tiber"; the perfect name for parents with a love of history, connected to the Roman emperor Tiberius.

Stylists Jill Lincoln and Jordan Johnson Launch Initiative to Help Migrant Children (Exclusive)

The stylists behind Jennifer Garner and Rachel Brosnahan are asking for donations to Save the Children on behalf of the U.S. Border Crisis Children's Relief Fund, in lieu of flowers or gifts, after the Emmys.
The red carpet continues to be a platform for political statements and activism. Styling duo Jill Lincoln and Jordan Johnson — whose clients include Jennifer Lawrence and Rachel Brosnahan — are launching the initiative Red Carpet Gives to ask fashion designers to donate to help migrant children at the U.S. border instead of sending gifts or flowers to stylists and stars after the upcoming Emmy Awards on Sept. 22.
Debuting this week, Red Carpet Gives encourages stylists, brands and industry insiders to donate to Save the Children on behalf of the U.S. Border Crisis Children's Relief Fund after red carpet events. The program supports advocacy work at the U.S.-Mexico border and provides clothing, toys, books and hygiene products to immigrant kids. The stylists plan to select different causes for each awards show that are "significant to the times in the industry," Lincoln tells The Hollywood Reporter.
"We needed something to really feel good about at the end of the day. The show is over, the dresses go back, the jewelry goes back and we're onto the next. So for us as moms, as humans, as working women who want to use our voice for better than telling you what to wear, how to keep up with the trends, there's got to be something more to come from our position," she says.
Red Carpet Gives is several years in the making, as the stylists realized they wanted to find a meaningful use for the generosity of designers that send out bouquets as a thank you to their clients (who have included Margaret Qualley, Constance Wu, Kiernan Shipka, Sydney Sweeney, Alexandra Shipp, Diego Luna and Anna Kendrick).
They tested it out last awards season when brands asked the stylists if they could send gifts to their office or to a client's hotel room. Lincoln and Johnson instead asked clients if they wanted a donation to a charity of their choice. After the Golden Globes, Brosnahan opted to have Prada donate to Covenant House to help homeless youth and, after the Academy Awards, Luna asked Brunello Cucinelli to donate to World Food Bank to fight global hunger.
"Our clients and the designers were really excited. They were super into it, so we wanted to carry that through and find a more grand way to execute this universally within the industry this year," Lincoln says.
The fashion houses are also on board, with a rep for Cucinelli telling THR, "Since Brunello is particularly philanthropic himself and believes in the spirit of giving back, the brand loves this type of gift where we can share with others who are like-minded and invested in making meaningful contributions."
This week, the stylists have crafted an email that they will send to colleagues, publicists and fashion design teams to explain the initiative with Save the Children as the kickoff ahead of the Emmys. They were inspired to select the org due to client Jennifer Garner, an official ambassador to the 100-year-old nonprofit along with Dakota Fanning, Camila Cabello and Olivia Wilde.
"It's a worthy cause that everyone can get behind," Johnson tells THR. "We both have children, but whether or not you have kids, you can't help but look at the images of what's going on and not get behind it. I think it speaks to everyone." The border crisis is "very relevant" now, Lincoln says: "We're all so lucky to live in this country and have liberties that these people obviously don't have, so we wanted to find a teeny tiny way to support."
She adds, "Every year, awards season becomes — in addition about the celebratory aspect of all the amazing shows and movies that have come out — about everyone making it a little bit less about Hollywood and about the 'me me me' factor and more about being better people."
Lincoln notes that being a stylist is "such a great platform and of course you can't have an awards show without seeing a plethora of pins, so I think that there has been a lot of action to raise awareness over the past years. … Everyone is getting in the spirit of trying to make what we do more impactful."
Indeed, for the Golden Globes this year, stylist Karla Welch (clients include Justin Bieber and Tracee Ellis Ross) partook in a similar effort called Red Carpet Advocacy, founded by Oscar-nominated costume designer Arianne Phillips and consultant Carineh Martin. Her client Elisabeth Moss' Dior Couture gown, Neil Lane jewels, Tamara Mellon shoes and Roger Vivier bag benefitted the American Civil Liberties Union through donations by the designers. Phillips also designed the Time's Up pin that dominated the 2018 Golden Globes red carpet.
In 2019, Brosnahan sported a Time's Up bracelet to the Golden Globes and is nominated again at the Emmys for outstanding lead actress on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Lincoln says of the actress' upcoming Emmys look, "There's not really the pressure. Last year was our first year working with her and visa-versa and her first year being nominated for everything, so I think we're a little bit light-hearted with it this year." Johnson adds, "It's more of an opportunity to mix things up a little bit." Recall last year's Emmys, where Brosnahan stunned in a red chiffon off-the-shoulder gown from Oscar de la Renta.
This year, the duo are scared to be dressing the master of decluttering — that would be Marie Kondo — joking that "we're petrified," "please don't look at our office" and "we're bringing her in in a blindfold."
As for their longtime client Qualley, she has seen a sudden rise in stardom as a new fashion icon, after appearing in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. "She has got that effortless cool girl style. You throw anything on her and she just makes it cool instantly," Johnson says, while Lincoln adds, "If one thing comes to mind when I think of Margaret, it would be her endless ploy to wear flats on a red carpet." Her stylists use flats as a "bartering tool" when crafting her looks. "She's blossomed into a full-fledged movie star. I don't think there's really any limit to what we'll see from Margaret over fashion campaigns, more leading roles," Lincoln says. (The daughter of Andie MacDowell, Qualley just appeared in Rodarte's spring 2020 look book.)
On the red carpet, the twosome note, it's all about individual style. "Everyone hopes to get something different out of the awards shows. Some clients just want to be cool and comfortable and not have to have fussy dresses for the evening. Others want to stand out. It's 'choose your own adventure,'" Lincoln says.

Unconscionable: Health workers' right to refuse abortions vs women's right to choose
Marion Stevens and Mandi Mudarikwa
Draft national health department guidelines will look to balance a doctor or nurse's right recuse themselves from performing abortions with a person's right to choose.
South Africa's Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act legalises voluntary abortion at different stages of pregnancy. Although viewed as a generally liberal law, the Act has not effectively enabled broad and consistent access for women seeking to terminate their pregnancies.
One of the reasons has been some health providers' and facilities' refusal to treat women who need abortion care.
Within South African law, specifically the termination of pregnancy Act, no health care provider — irrespective of the category — is ethically allowed to refuse to provide emergency treatment and care.
On Tuesday, the health and human rights non-profit the International Women's Health Coalition (IWHC) and partners released a report, titled "Unconscionable". The research argues that there is a growing trend globally, including in South Africa, of health care providers who are refusing to deliver abortion and other sexual and reproductive health care. This phenomenon violates the ethical principle of "do no harm," the coalition argues.
Historically, the United Nations has defined a conscientious objector as an individual who refuses to perform military service on the grounds of freedom of thought, conscience, or religion. This moral stance against military service has been recognised not only by the UN Human Rights Council but also in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
But the term "conscientious objector" has recently been co-opted by anti-choice movements to refer to health care providers who refuse to provide abortions.
In South Africa, those who refuse to provide terminations of pregnancy do so in terms of section 15 (1) of the Constitution, which guarantees the right to freedom of conscience, religion, thought, belief and opinion.
But health workers' refusal to treat women seeking abortions pits their right to freedom of conscience, religion and belief against a woman's Constitutionally-enshrined right to equality and dignity.
Constitutional rights are guaranteed to everyone, which means that rights must co-exist. Healthcare providers' right to freedom of religion should not negate women's right to access health, equality and dignity. To the extent that these rights cannot co-exist, then a balancing exercise must weigh up, for instance, the impact of refusing abortion services on women versus the consequence of providing abortion services to religious values. This calculus should also factor in healthcare providers' ethical and legal obligations — something that too few within our healthcare system have been trained on, shows the IWHC's latest report.
There is a similar death of education regarding the fact that Constitutional rights are not absolute and can, therefore, be limited for a number of reasons.
At the same time, medical students' training in abortion provision is often inadequate, reveals the coalition's latest research. In South Africa, we have received reports from students noting that they are sometimes taught how to avoid performing abortions instead of about their ethical and professional obligations under the Choice of Termination of Pregnancy Act.
In a clear violation of the Act, some medical students object to learning how to treat women who need life-saving emergency care after incomplete abortions.
Meanwhile, workers' refusal to treat is mostly based on non-verifiable personal beliefs, usually religious, that posit life begins at conception, argue researchers in a 2017 article published in the European Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Biology.
In some instances, the refusal to treat is premised on the notions that women must always want to be mothers, and when they fall pregnant, they must cheerfully embrace the opportunity to raise a child even though this may not be something they want.

The national health department has not taken any action to counter the negative implications of introducing religion into medicine, which significantly undermines clinical best practices that depend on scientific evidence and medical ethics. The department's human resource strategy outlines its responsibility to ensure capacity at national, provincial and district levels to develop human resources that meet government needs and improve health care access for all.
The national health department must, therefore, take decisive and adequate steps to ensure that all the healthcare providers it employs work towards achieving this.
It is undeniable that the impact of conscientious objection has dire consequences for women in need of abortions – for some, it is the difference between life and death.
This is not acceptable by any standard.
Read more: Government to get tougher on doctors with moral objections to abortion
All healthcare professionals — doctors, midwives and nurses — should be aware of their responsibility to provide safe and beneficial care. The first principles of "do no harm" and offering the best care possible should guide every health provider.
When continuation of a pregnancy poses a grave danger to the life or health of women or fetus, regardless of gestational age, health workers cannot recuse themselves from duties to provide safe and legal health care.
A healthcare worker cannot legally or ethically object to rendering care in cases of life-or-death emergencies associated with abortion whether procedures were lawfully performed or not.
Facility managers must ensure that if their clinic or hospital is designated to provide abortion services, measures must be taken to ensure staff can competently offer them.
Should the facility not be able to provide abortions, management must ensure that the patient is provided with the necessary support to reach an alternative service provider and planning needs to guarantee services become available. Health facility managers need to be stewards of the health system to ensure there is consistent access to health, referrals of services are effective and timely, and that patient-centred care is provided at all times.
Our health department is currently severely challenged but leadership, such as that envisioned in its human resources strategy, is crucial to assuring that healthcare workers are trained to become competent providers of reproductive health services, including abortion. This kind of leadership extends to the national health minister and director general.
We cannot continue to allow women to be forced out of facilities after being refused access to safe abortion and walk straight into the care of informal and dangerous providers. To do so is a severe reproductive injustice.
What are we saying to poor black women who are disproportionately affected by the refusal of service providers to offer abortion care? It is time that the department of health and abortion service providers stand up and show them that they too matter and that their bodies and needs will be taken seriously.

A sound system of internal controls is essential to managing the risks that confront an organization on a daily basis. Effective internal control helps mitigate the risk that errors or fraud affecting an organization's finances may occur, and increase the likelihood that errors or fraud will be detected timely if they do occur. For many organizations, internal controls can make the difference between achieving objectives and missing them.
For a copy of our Internal Control Advisory Services brochure, please click here.
Many organizations approach the management of internal controls on an ad hoc basis, reacting to gaps as they become evident, rather than proactively identifying and mitigating gaps before they lead to problems. A formal internal control assessment process helps ensure that all gaps are identified and mitigated, not just the ones that happen to get noticed.
Work with management to identify significant risks and process areas.
Document the process and identify key controls.
Assist in remediation of any internal control deficiencies.
Perform testing to determine if controls are working effectively.
Assist in correcting any control failures.
Identify training needs and develop a plan/perform ongoing testing of controls.

'I've been painting for as long as I can remember. I've always been into Abstract Art. In art class, when I was a kid, I wouldn't draw normal stuff like other kids, but abstract or surrealism paintings like "The Persistence of Memory" by Salvador Dali.
'I feel like at some points in my life, Art was a form of therapy to me. I was bullied by the staff at the university hospital for three years and my Art was the only place I had where I could express how I felt.
'Once I felt I was ready as an artist and with enough support from the people behind me, I figured I would share my art with the world. At first, I created a Tumblr to post my photographs and my paintings which grew into a website. I wanted it to be easy for people to follow me on my artistic journey, so I focused on creating a strong social media presence. One day, a follower of mine sent me a tweet, saying she voted for me in the Shorty Awards, as the best artist on social media. At this moment, I really realized people weren't lying when they claimed I was talented at creating art.
I was incredibly humbled when more people voted for me and I was a finalist. At that time, I was also exposing my art in galleries around the world, like in Melbourne Australia, the Czech Republic, Moscow and Ireland, but I wasn't feeling proud nor satisfied.
'I decided to stop exposing my art in these kinds of galleries and I chose instead to expose my work in public spaces. I put my art on billboards in Paraguay and California, in the subway in San Francisco and many such places around the world. This was such a pleasant experience to me because I knew that there were some people on their way back home who were absolutely not familiar with Art, who could finally taste and discover it through my work. Doing something like this was so meaningful to me!
Today, I post some of my paintings on my social media, but I prefer posting all my photography on my website. My photographs are also Abstract and reflect Minimalism, a style I love to incorporate, not only in my art, but also in my life.
I know what my goals are as an artist. I want to make Abstract Art more popular. This is the inspiration behind the art book series that I am currently working on. To me, books are the best medium to share a message. Issue N°1 is named YAMI INTERNATIONAL: My rawest thoughts. It features my recent paintings and photographs, and also "rawest thoughts" on random topics; I'm already working on Issue N°2.

Q: Advise for Regular Expression pattern needed Sample
EL:123
가나123.456다라
123-ABC-456
123.456+678.890
AA03-BB1
$.AB12,00

I want to extract any Number Format from String.
Number could be | 100,000 | 20,000.00 | 12.52 | 10,800.082 |
My pattern is
@"\d[\d|,|.]+"

But.. it does not work for just one digit | 3 | 1 |.
I also tried
@"[\d|,|.]+"

it should not catch | , | . | only.
What should I do to my regex pattern?

A: A \d[\d|,|.]+ regex will not find 3 or 1 because \d requires 1 digit, and the + with [\d|,|.]+ also requires at least one char more. Note this also matches 1| since the pipe symbol is considered a literal char in the character class. To match 0 or more occurrences, use * quantifier.
To match all those numbers, you may use either
 \d[\d,.]*

Or, better:
\d+(?:[,.]\d+)*

See the regex demo
Details:

*

*\d+ - one or more digits

*(?:[,.]\d+)* - zero or more (due to * quantifier) occurrences of:

*

*[,.] - a comma or dot

*\d+ - one or more digits

Pink admits her songs aren't poetic
Posted in Music news by gigswiz
Pink has claimed that her songs are authentic and honest.
The singer also explained that she has managed to tone down her anger over the years.
"I think in the beginning I was definitely punk rock mentality," she told The Times. "Anti-authority, question everything, carve your own path. And I think I've done that in my little pop world in some aspects. Now my anger is more focused."
Pink added that her fans like her because she connects to them on an "authentic level".
She explained: "I think probably my lyrics… I'm not subtle or poetic and I think that's a big part of who I am and why I'm easy to connect to."
She insisted that she wouldn't like to be more poetic, but added: "I mean, sometimes I wish, yeah, I could say it like other people do, a lot more eloquently: Lauryn Hill, Joni Mitchell, Paolo Nutini, anyone else really. I would say most people out there are singing songs that are a little more intelligent than what I put out.
"But mine are extremely honest. Mine are, 'I'm getting out of bed today and I'm going to put one foot in front of the other. Come join me'."

"If you think about it, today's office has more in common with a residential loft," Jaime Hayon tells me as we face each other sheltered in the petal-like folds of his new seating system for Republic of Fritz Hansen. The Spanish artist and designer's collaborations with the Danish furniture manufacturer span nearly a decade—however it wasn't until last month, at office furniture fair Orgatec in Cologne, Germany, that Hayon introduced his very first collection dedicated to the contract market, the high-backed lounge system Plenum.

Hayon works straddling two countries, with studios in Valencia, Spain, and in Treviso, Italy, and the line between his two passions—art and design—is often blurry. This past September, Fritz Hansen launched Geo #1 and #2, quirky wooden sculptures based on his drawings. Following Orgatec, Hayon jetted off to Prague, where a selection of his furniture, interior objects, and artwork was on view in Designblok, the Prague International Design Festival.

In today's competitive workforce, companies have had to come to terms with a hard truth: Seductive interiors are no longer an optional investment when it comes to both attracting and retaining talent—not to mention maintaining office attendance with increasingly nomadic staff.

For Hayon, a collection with the office in mind was the natural next step. Completed in just 1 1/2 years—"an office chair is very complicated, generally it takes two or three years for worldwide distribution," Hayon notes—Plenium consists of one-seater, two-seater, and three-seater units cocooning from three sides. Each piece, with an electrical outlet and USB ports installed under the seat, can stand alone or be mixed together for breakout areas geared towards relaxation, concentrated work, or acoustically sheltered meetings. In the busy Fritz Hansen booth, the hush induced by the three enveloping wings is all the more striking.

Surfaces for a laptop or tablet are also available, either mounted to the base or via a separate small table. Since the pieces are assembled from modular parts, up to seven can be shipped on a pallet. "If you saw how this is sold flatpack, you'd freak out—I don't know how they do it," Hayon notes.

Q: Advice on using (or not using) XML in a hierarchical object model I'm developing a hierarchical object model that is self-referencing as a 0/1 --> * relationship. An object without a parentID is a root element. The parentID is also the foreign key on the self-join. From my understanding, using the parentID as a foreign key will only point to a column where child elements may be found --> does this force an iteration through the entire data set for that column? Is this a scenario where a clustered index should be formed? ....would it be proper to use the XML data type to store all childrenIDs in a single field then load and reference that document for each object? It seems doing this would at least allow me to simplify my object persistence layer and give me more control over recording transactions.
Any advice?

A: I would strongly suggest against using XML to store the child IDs. It will cause countless headaches trying to maintain it down the road, not to mention trying to use it outside of your application (for example, from a reporting solution or for ETL).
Have you looked into the HIERARCHYID data type? It's in SQL 2008 and may be useful for you here. I don't know what kind of support the various programming languages/ODBC/OLE DB have for it, but you can convert it to a string with .ToString() and that can be manipulated pretty easily. It also then allows you to use the other methods of HIERARCHYID in T-SQL, like .GetAncestor(), etc.

At the carwash, you never know what dangers lurk around the corner: fire may destroy your building; an employee or customer may be injured on your property; wrongful termination or alleged sexual harassment can rear its ugly head and now, you're being sued.
Carwash owners must protect their business with insurance specifically designed for it. Carwash insurance can insure most everything and everyone who comes in contact with the business. Not having the right amount or the correct coverage is like setting off to cross a desert with a quarter tank of gas and then running out halfway across — the results can be devastating.
There are specific insurance coverages for all American businesses. For example, workers' compensation is a required insurance that all businesses with employees must purchase; it's the law. Workers' compensation covers your employees during the time they are working for you.
A carwash owner also has a legal responsibility towards customers and the public. If a customer or a member of the public is injured and the carwash is found to be at fault, the carwash owner is legally liable and can be sued.
What happens when an employee delivers a car that was detailed to a customer's office and wrecks the vehicle on the way? Who pays? More often than not, the carwash owner and their insurance provide this type of protection.
Carwashes can require different types of coverages such as a full-service conveyor insurance program compared to an express format where no employees touch or drive a vehicle. However, a flex-service wash may have the same insurance requirements as a full-service conveyor based on the employee activities allowed by the flex-service operator.
It's not an easy process to choose the right coverage for your carwash.
Endorsements: Changes the original insurance programs, including broadening the scope of the insurance coverages, clarifying the application of coverages to some unique carwash business exposure.
It's imperative to review every facet of your carwash business. Be sure to research the BOP (business owner policy) and examine what the coverage extensions are and the limit of insurance is (dollar amount) for each coverage.
Compare apples to apples in the search for the right insurance coverage for your business. There are a few insurance organizations that concentrate only on insuring carwashes and nothing else.
When purchasing an insurance program for your carwash, make sure that the insurance representative knows — and most importantly — understands the insurance program requirements for your carwash.
Interview several insurance representatives; just because they have an insurance license does not make them an expert in the carwash industry. Do they know what your daily business risks are? It's critical that the carwash owner walks through each section of the proposed insurance policy not only to ask questions, but to better educate themselves. It's certainly better to do this now than to wait until there is a catastrophic loss.
Take the time to educate yourself by talking with other carwash owners, carwash consultants and individuals in the carwash industry that you trust. Look up carwash insurance on the Internet to get a good understanding of what types of insurance programs are out there and who is offering them. Try to look for companies who specialize in carwash insurance programs. They are more apt to provide the specific knowledge that you'll need when discussing your carwash insurance requirements with their representative.
Remember, no one knows the risk or operations better than the carwash owner and the management. As a carwash owner, always be aware of the risks of customer vehicle damages, employee injuries, and customers who may get hurt on your property.
