Lucid Motors General Discussion Forum
The Lucid UX Arrives May 26th
On the 26th Lucid Motors will debut its User Experience. Watch it right there.
"In less than a week, we'll be debuting the Lucid User Experience. It's cutting-edge technology that conforms to you, and makes every interaction feel effortless. Catch the full reveal on May 26, and sign up below for updates."
Here's some more information on the UX from Lucid Motors.
Introducing the instantly intuitive Lucid User Experience.
Meet the advanced technology that powers every Lucid Air.
The Lucid User Experience has arrived. With its unique form factor, and clean, intuitive design, it makes connecting and interacting with Lucid Air an experience that will delight. Watch above for the full reveal.
Derek Jenkins, our Senior VP of Design speaks to our vision with this digital ecosystem. "In much the same way that a holistic, clean-sheet approach to design and engineering has made possible the revolutionary packaging and efficiency of Lucid Air, this built-from-the-ground-up strategy has also enabled the creation of Lucid UX, a truly innovative human-machine interface that is easy-to-use and aesthetically beautiful. Lucid UX retains specific functions that work from a traditional physical interface and pairs those with an innovative form factor that's highly advanced and ergonomic, providing intuitive access to all vehicle systems."
The in-car experience
The interior of the Lucid Air features two primary touch-control displays – the Glass Cockpit and the Pilot Panel. The Glass Cockpit is a 34-inch, 5K floating screen that sweeps around the driver, curving like the cockpit of a jet. It puts essential information into your sightline, with vehicle controls to the left, driving details in the center, and navigation and media to the right.
The Pilot Panel is centrally located in the lower console display, enabling further in-depth controls. Both displays are contoured toward the driver and are positioned to be within easy reach. While the Lucid User Experience also extends to the Lucid app and other touchpoints, these two key displays are where the richest interactions take place.
Both the Glass Cockpit and the Pilot Panel were designed in close concert with the rest of the vehicle interior to ensure a seamless transition between digital and physical, ultimately creating an interior that feels like a single coherent space.
Designed for effortless interaction
We believe the mode of interaction should truly fit the task. Working in close collaboration throughout the development process, our design and engineering teams identified features and interactions that would be best served with dedicated physical touchpoints, such as climate controls and window switches. These are operated with physical controls on the dashboard, doors, and steering wheel that are crafted to look beautiful and still provide clear tactile feedback. To this end, a single toggle switch or roller in the Lucid Air could go through over 100 iterations of different shape, weighting, and detent placement as part of fine-tuning the tactile feedback.
This concept of unifying digital and physical also extends to the 21-speaker Surreal Sound system. By directing sound with precision throughout the interior of Lucid Air, this technology not only creates an incredible in-car audio experience, but also delivers directional auditory cues for alerts, notifications, and warnings.
Beyond tactile and touch interactions, you can control many vehicle features simply by speaking, thanks to a partnership with Amazon to integrate Alexa Auto. We've also worked closely with outside tech companies to bring popular features into the Lucid Air. Apple CarPlay, for example, will be available with a wireless connection. For Android users, Android Auto will also be offered. In addition, several music services – including Spotify and iHeartRadio – will be supported.
Always featuring new features
Lucid UX is designed to evolve and grow over time so it can best meet your needs today and into the future. This starts with cutting-edge, lightning-quick foundation centered around the Lucid Ethernet Ring. By linking powerful processors throughout the vehicle with an innovative ethernet connection, systems communicate with each other at gigabit speeds. This innovative electrical architecture has the added benefit of providing a robust layer of redundancy throughout the system.
Additionally, integrated mobile and Wi-Fi connectivity ensure that every Lucid Air can receive Over-the-Air (OTA) software updates, bringing a steady stream of new features and enhancements. This deep level of connectivity also helps you stay connected with your car no matter where you are. With the Lucid app, you can view charge status, check and set the climate controls, and pre-load navigation journeys from anywhere.
I'm so glad that Lucid is keeping physical buttons as part of the center console. Going completely touchscreen looks nice and all but it can be a nightmare to use while you're actually driving.
Lightmatrix
I like what they had to share on this new release.

Welcome to the forum @Lightmatrix! What stands out to you from this press release? Have you placed a pre-order for an Air?
Having owned a Model S previously, I prefer Lucid's more, for lack of a better term, human approach to the UX and vehicle. I am very impressed with the attention to how a user can emotionally connect with their vehicle and how their vehicle in turn can connect with them. That is to say, facial recognition, Alexa integration, UI "mood" customization, and sonic design.
I have not yet put in a pre-order for an Air. With my Tesla, I leased as I felt it was more akin to a rolling device rather than a car and there is the threat of obselecense. I expect with the Air I will lease as well.
TessP100D
Maybe when Lucid actual makes a car, and someone actually drives it, and some one actually reviews it, can some one actually compare it to a Model S which has been on the road since 2012. Maybe.
dawktah LucidGT
Hopefully, I can connect my Astell & Kern to it without having to use Bluetooth. Hi-Res audio over Dolby Atmos, can't wait.

The Institute of Demolition Engineers (IDE) has recently been represented at two events organised and hosted by the Wolverhampton University Faculty of Science and Engineering in partnership with Environment Technologies and Resource Efficiency Support Service (EnTRESS).
On Friday 29th June 2018 "This is Demolition" was held at Wolverhampton University ECMS Springfield Campus. Dr Paul Hampton (Head of the Built Environment, University of Wolverhampton) introduced the event.
The event was well attended by over 70 delegates interested in learning more about Demolition and the two new degree courses currently available: The Foundation Degree in Demolition Management and the current MSc Demolition Management.
University of Wolverhamptons Jackie Dunne (Deputy Vice-Chancellor Access & Lifelong Learning) and IDE President, David Darsey FIDE, FRSA signed the agreement for the new ground-breaking Foundation Degree.
On Saturday the 7th July 2018 the sun was shining in the courtyard at Wolverhampton University for the annual "Scifest" event. The day was extremely well attended by young people and their families. The IDE was again represented by IDE Council of Management member Richard Dolman FIDE at the Education Day. Richard was able to pass on his passion for all things Demolition to the next generation. The Demolition Simulator was a great hit with the young people attending and some of the Mums and Dads! A great atmospher topped off with a great result for the England Football team.

Melbourne has been voted the World's Most Liveable City for an unprecedented sixth-straight year.
"This is a result all Victorians can be so proud of. It's just more proof there's no city on earth quite like Melbourne." Premier Daniel Andrews said.
The prestigious Economist Intelligence Unit's Liveability Index surveys 140 of the world's best cities, and we've blitzed the field again. Melbourne secured perfect ratings for healthcare, education and infrastructure.
"It's proof of what we already know. We have the best of everything, and we're the best city to call home. Melbourne is the cultural, sporting and events capital, and Victoria is the Education State. We're the envy of the nation when it comes to tourism, and we're proudly multicultural." Premier Andrews said.
World-class international education sector has seen more than 175,000 international students study in Victoria, and The University of Melbourne was recently crowned Australia's highest international ranking university.
Our health system is world-class. We're home to state-of-the-art facilities, medical research institutes and leading scientists, clinicians and researchers.
Melbourne boasts one of the fastest growing economies in the nation, and we're leading Australia when it comes to full-time jobs growth. More than 110,000 new full-time jobs were created in the year ending June 2016.
We're leading the country in small business growth, welcoming 9,000 new businesses in the past 12 months, and we're outperforming our competitor's interstate when it comes to tourism. In the six-straight years we've retained top spot, international visitation has grown by 9.2 % annually, far higher than the national average.
There's no place like Melbourne for world-class sport and entertainment events. We have the Australian Open, the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix, the Spring Racing Carnival and many more.
"We've got something for everyone and the best of everything in Melbourne. Our title proves it." Premier Andrews said.
We've also established Visit Victoria, the state's new world-leading entity charged with the task of keeping us number one for tourism and major events.
"We won't rest on our laurels. The Government is embarking on major infrastructure projects including the Metro Tunnel, the Level Crossing Removal Project and the Melbourne Park upgrade." Premier Andrews said.

On this page we offer SOBRAL and EMILY RAY JEWELRY at super discounts!
R. Sobral's jewelry is bold and large, a look he has been making in Brazil since 1994. But Carlos Resende Sobral started making jewelry in 1976, the first time he saw polyester resin...he now makes his jewelry with a polyester resin, recycled no less! The colors are vibrant, layered or dropped or swirled. Other found items may be tossed in. Every piece is unique, the larger pieces are lighter than similar-sized stones or pure glass. Sobral has several of his own shops in Brazil and Paris, his jewelry has won awards in both jewelry markets. Emily Ray jewelry is made in South Carolina using Swarovski® crystals and Swarovski® pearls, with interesting stones and glass beads worked into special designs. Some of the crystals used are made exclusively for Emily Ray! We offer finished jewelry, plus the Hoopla interchangeable charm jewelry.
Save if you buy more than a single charm!
These ear charms are made of Swarovski crystal 8mm cubes with a rhinestone rondelle accent, with a top loop to hang from Emily Ray sterling silver hoops. Wear them as singles, a matched pair, or mix colors. Available as listed.
SOLD IN SINGLES (one charm), you must buy 2 in order to make a pair.
1-3/16 x 5/8 inch faceted bullet shapes form earrings that are dramatic in their illusion. Clear resin has a black&white stripe in the back, it is magnified and seen at different angles. Brass post located 3/8 inch below top edge.
These ear charms are made of Swarovski crystal 10mm rounds with a rhinestone rondelle accent, with a top loop to hang from Emily Ray sterling silver hoops. Where them as singles, a matched pair, or mix colors.
Nugget shape looks like it came off a meteor. Resins are clear and silvery gray with silver glitter inside, the glitter is subtle. About 1-1/8 x 5/8 inches, brass post 5/16 inch below top edge.
1 inch circles of clear resin are domed to show off the bits of recycled metallic foil inside. The foil colors include silver, gold and copper, sometimes with a hint of patina. Dangling from copper earwires (not recommended for sensitive ears, or easily change to another earwire metal), 2-1/4 inches long.
We offer Emily Ray's Hoopla interchangeable jewelry! Dangling charms of Swarovski® crystals and pearls work with various shapes and sizes of hoop earrings, you can pick your charms and hoops, swap them around! Also available are Swarovski® necklaces of pearls and crystals to coordinate with the earrings, even hang your choice of charms from the necklaces or silver chains.
Individual components available in our La Jolla shop...but we offer some beautifully coordinated sets here too!
Black resins hold a stripe of black&white stripes (position of row in each piece will vary). Bangle is 1-1/4 inches wide, rounded outer edge up to 3/8 inch thick. Medium size 2-5/8 inches inner diameter.
Teeny Swarovski pearls in light bronze color dance along a sterling chain in delightful cluster style, 1-1/4 inch long on sterling leverback earwire.
7/8 inch multicolor pop art stripes, with bright orange dominating, in flat square earring. CLIP ON style for all ears.
Hoopla system includes necklaces with pendant charms too! 8mm Swarovsky crystal cubes with small rhinestone rondelle, hang from small ring from necklace (available seperately). Or hang from your own sterling chain if it has a small clasp that will let the charm loop over it.
These ear charms are made of Swarovski 10mm rounds with a rhinestone rondelle accent, with a top loop to hang from Emily Ray sterling silver hoops. Swarovski pearls have a crystal core and pearly smooth finish, they will wear better than pearls! Where them as singles, a matched pair, or mix colors.
You choose how to put them together, or mix with other sets!
Emily Ray jewelry features Swarovski® brand crystals and pearls. These are easy to maintain as they have leaded crystal base for shine and strength, but can be chipped as they are essentially glass. The faux pearls have inner crystal core for nice weight, and are resistant to scratches and body oils (unlike real or other faux pearls!).
The components are so durable, Emily Ray offers a lifetime guarantee!

Q: How can I source an R script with errors I have two R scripts. The first reads csv files, cleans the data, checks for mathematical errors and corrects them ("errorcheck.R"). The second script gets the clean data from the first, combines column names, expressions and values and creates csv files ("createTables.R").
Originally, the first script was created for importing 5 csv files. But for some projects I might have  only 4 or 3 csv files to import, which is fine for the final output. But that throws me an error and when I try to source the first script from the second script, I don't get the clean csv files. How can I source the clean datasets from the first script, even with errors? The errors come only from calling csv files that don't exist.
I'm not sure if this is the same question as:
Is there a way to `source()` and continue after an error?
Can I have some ideas on this please?
Thanks in advance

A: I am not sure if this serves your answer or not:
Situation:
1. According to your description, your first scripts is made for static input of length of 5. (i.e. 5 .csv file input)
Solution:
I don't know how you take the input of .csv files in first script. I suggest to create a vector of string and pass that to first script and calculate the length of vector to decide how many times your operation should run. Now, the input can be of any length.
So, You can effectively handle any range of .csv files rather than only for 5. Try avoiding hard-coding.
Please let me know if this answer your question. If you face any diffculty just let me know.

As a child, Dr. Eleanor Reimer was hospitalized frequently with a chronic bone infection that required many surgeries. So when she decided to pursue a career in medicine, she was determined to remember what it was like on the "other side" as a patient.
She began her career as a nurse, working in pediatric and adult intensive care units, before pursuing her medical degree at the University of Manitoba. She went on to specialize in pediatric anesthesia at the University of Western Ontario and completed her fellowship at BC Children's Hospital (BCCH) in 1992 before joining the department.
In 1997, she became director of the University of BC anesthesia residency program, where she has shared her experience and knowledge in a mentoring role. That position was followed in 2000 by the department head role, which she held for 12 years. Dr. Reimer is also a clinical investigator with the Child and Family Research Institute, a UBC clinical associate professor and head of the division of pediatric anesthesiology, department of anesthesiology, pharmacology and therapeutics.
Dr. Reimer first became involved in the planning of the new Teck Acute Care Centre at BC Children's around 2005, when a small group of physicians began to envision how they could improve the delivery of care in a better designed facility. That led to more formal involvement in the early phases of planning, culminating in her current role as the physician lead for the BC Children's and BC Women's Redevelopment Project. In this role, she provides advice and technical input to the project team and serves as the key liaison between the project and the medical staff.
"Drawing from her own personal experiences as a patient and as a care provider, she has been integral in focusing attention on the patient rooms to ensure the designs best serve patients and families, while also allowing care providers to deliver excellent care," says Dan Payne, a clinical project manager working on the redevelopment project. "Her work is shaping the future of care for generations to come."
As a medical student, she spent time working in low-income countries, and those experiences sparked a life-long desire to give back. For more than a decade, she has volunteered her time and skills to provide free, life-transforming surgery to hundreds of children living in economically challenged regions around the world.
The mission of Operation Rainbow Canada (ORC) is to provide reconstructive surgery to impoverished children in medically underserved areas of the world, to engage in education with physicians and nurses in order to enhance the level of local care and to promote self-efficiency within those countries. Dr. Reimer has travelled to Cambodia and Indonesia as a member of an ORC team and completed four trips with this group in total.
More recently, Dr. Reimer joined a pediatric surgical team from BC Children's Hospital that works in Uganda. This year will mark their fifth trip to the country, where they provide free surgery to children with conditions ranging from birth defects to problems with their gastrointestinal systems. A major focus of these trips is to teach local doctors and nurses about how to provide safe anesthesia care to children.
In her philanthropic work, she sets an example for hospital colleagues both in funding and connecting the BC Children's Hospital Foundation with supporters and donors. Recognized as a Children's Circle of Care member, Dr. Reimer serves as an ambassador for BC Children's, raising awareness about the importance of the work and research that takes place at the hospital.

Wake Up America!
Last Saturday I was given the opportunity to meet Major Joe Ko, US Army Chaplain. Joe is an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church of Korea. For the past year he's been stationed at Walter Reed Army Medical Hospital and has been working with our wounded veterans. Joe came to our church's Saturday Morning Men's Breakfast and shared with us his experiences and his personal vision.
A little background; our associate pastor, Dr. Fred Carr is a retired US Army Lt. Colonel and became a spiritual mentor to Joe. 9 years ago they were both stationed in Germany. At the time, Joe was a Captain and Fred was a Major. As Joe related it, he was struggling with understanding God's calling for his life and whether the military was really where God wanted him to be and approached Fred for some guidance. What Joe told us, that Fred had told him, struck me like an epiphany but I didn't write it down at the time, so I had to email Fred about it. From Fred's reply:
"It was funny that I didn't remember having said that to him, but I remember it was on my heart about that time. I told Joe that what God looked for in us was faithfulness – faithfulness to the assignment he had given us. It is easy to be become subjective when an assignment isn't as enjoyable or fulfilling as we might want, but God wants us to receive it and be faithful to the opportunity. Of course that doesn't answer the question "should I resign or continue in the Army" but is does help see that when you get up every day you can give God what he is looking for by your faithfulness to serve him where he has currently assigned you."
Major Ko opened by telling us of his duties as one of the chaplains at Walter Reed. It's my understanding that he was here specifically to learn how to relate to our wounded veterans and so to facilitate this learning the chaplains are rotated thru the various wards at the hospital. He had a number of stories about some of the patients that he's gotten to know, some of them were horrific, some heroic and inspiring, but one in particular stood out. I'm hoping I have all my facts correct but some of the stories he related started to overlap one another due to their horrific nature.
The soldier is only 22 years old. He was out with his squad on what sounded like a routine patrol. His group had stopped for a moment and were actually taking a break, smoking cigarettes, talking and joking around, when a mortar round struck in the middle of the group instantly killing his 4 friends and leaving him critically wounded. When he woke up, it was too find that he was a triple amputee. Both legs and his right arm had had to be removed. I have to imagine that there was also a lot of other physical trauma that wasn't mentioned. Joe met him while on rounds in the psychiatric ward. Physically the soldier was recovering from his injuries but mentally he was in anguish. This particular day he was refusing all treatments and any of his medicine. He was highly agitated and verbally abusive to the nursing staff, which is when one of them, just having left the room saw the Joe and asked if he'd go talk to this soldier. Now Joe's reaction is I think the same as most of us would have and that's, "What am I supposed to say to this poor guy?"
For the next 30-45 minutes Major Ko listened to the soldier berate and question God's motivation and actions. God caused this war! God allowed my friends to die! God allows bad things to happen! God can't possibly be good and allow all the pain in the world! Most importantly – God didn't allow me to die with my friends. He wanted to be with his comrades. He wanted to die. Joe said he let him have his piece, allowed him to get all his frustrations and anger out and calm down a bit, and then he said to himself now it's my turn to tell you about God. You know I had to chuckle a bit at that yet still, as I sat in our church auditorium, my thought was what are you going to tell this guy that's going to make a difference? I think Joe was thinking the same thing. He even said as much when he commented that he honestly doesn't remember everything that he said because it wasn't him doing the talking, it was the Holy Spirit. He said the look of evil, that had been in this soldiers eyes the entire time he'd been in the room, visibly receded and was replaced with a more peaceful countenance.
There were two things that Joe explicitly remembers telling this soldier and it goes to the heart of the vision that he shared with us. It goes to the heart of who these men and women are. For Joe, our military men and women, Christian or not, truly know what John 15:13 is all about and it's the one indelible trait that they all share.
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
Whether the soldier understands this of himself/herself it is the paradigm thru which Joe sees them. And for a person who doesn't see 'duty' as a four letter word this perspective speaks to a core value that they do understand.
In response to this particular soldier Joe shared with him these two thoughts:
Number One – You have a new mission, a new role, you are the voice for your friends. They can't speak for themselves, they are no longer here, but you are. Your job is to tell others their story, because they have no one else that can tell it for them. Don't let them be forgotten.
Number Two – You are a prophet. You have a distinctly, singular perspective of the American Veteran that must be told.
You have to tell America to Wake Up! Wake Up America!
And this wasn't said as some anti-war sentiment. No this was about America sending out it's men and women to do something that is abnormal – killing other human beings – and then not properly 'healing' those Americans. It's abnormal for a human being to kill another. Sane people don't enjoy killing another person – only sick people do that. No, this isn't anti-war rhetoric, this is about America waking up to the responsibility that we have to care for these men and women when they come back from what ever war zone we've sent them to. Quoting from Edward Tick's (Ph.D.) book "War and the Soul", Joe commented that Tick says, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is improperly named. The correct name should be Post Traumatic Soul Wounded, because that he believes is what's really at the heart of the problem. Their souls have been damaged by what they've been subjected to, and it's the soul that needs to be healed. One psychiatrist at Walter Reed even commented to Joe, "I can give them all the modern medicine at my disposal, but that's not going to fix their soul. That's only something that you can do."
Joe then shared with us his vision for the church. For too long, fixing soldiers, whether physically, mentally or both has, in his words, been a matter of "punching the card". You correct the soldiers physical wounds – punch the card. You put them thru a regiment of psychological counseling – punch the card. The physically, psychologically wounded vet returns home and enters the local municipalities social services programs and they – punch the card. No matter how well intentioned the people involved in these programs are, the programs themselves are not designed to enter into that soldiers life. At least not in a soul nurturing, long term way and that's where Joe feels the church needs to step in.
Joe believes that the church is in a perfect position to help not only these 'soul' wounded vets but also their families. It is Joe's informed belief that the families of these vets are far too often overlooked, and are in many ways just as traumatized as their vet. So what is it exactly that the church can do? Adopt a vet. And, not just the vet but his family as well. Reach out and extend to them the same nurturing love and care that most churches extend to members who have lost a loved one. I know at my own church we've been taught that bereavement isn't some, "get past 90 days and you should be over it" proposition. We, as a church, have been taught to help the person thru all the holidays , their beloved's birthday, anniversaries, etc. And not just for the first year but for at least the first three years. If we as a church can mobilize our selves and our attitudes in this manner then why not for a vet whose also going thru physical, emotional or spiritual turmoil? It's not rocket science, it's reaching out and loving them in exactly the manner that Christ has called us. In simple terms, it's connecting with them and finding out their real needs, it's extending fellowship to them, whether that be bringing a home cooked meal or babysitting kids so mom and dad can have a night out. It's all the simple things that "families" do for one another.
I don't have any clear cut plan about how all this works. It's not something that the U.S. Military has in place as another program, but it is an idea that has the weight of truth behind it. As Lon Solomon, the senior pastor of McLean Bible Church is fond of saying, "Not a sermon, just a thought."

Deep Tissue Massage Deep tissue massage is a massaging technique that uses slow but deep strokes throughout the muscle grain to ease stress on your body. By applying pressure using fingers, deep tissue massage will relieve chronic muscle strain, from those areas of the body which are contracted because of tension and stress. The massage is focused on deeper tissue structures of this muscle and fascia (known as connective tissues). The therapist may work on shortened muscles and will search for twisted postural patterns to operate on them. With slow but deep strokes muscle fibers are lengthened, and this helps to decrease stress, restore equilibrium and establish the functional integrity of the body. When employing strokes, the therapist uses fingers, flat elbow opposing thumbs, foot heel or hands heel, reinforced finger and the forearm. You may experience soreness, when you have the deep tissue massage following it, nevertheless, within a day or two you should be feeling better. After having the massage, you feel healthier because it loosens muscle tissue and as a result toxins built up in muscle get released. Blood and oxygen within the body circulates better and as a result you feel fresh and more energized. After the massage, it is important to take plenty of water because toxins stored up in the body is released after the massage and these will get eliminated from the body.
Who can be greatly benefited by deep tissue massage? Deep Tissue massage is very effective for athletes who are frequently using their muscles in an intensive way. People experiencing chronic pain, fibromyalgia, edema, muscle cramping, and even carpal tunnel syndrome, feel quite relieved after a deep tissue massage. This is because the technique of applying slower, but strong strokes on the affected areas raises the rate of blood circulation in these regions.
Oftentimes, a deep tissue massage has replaced the traditional swedish massage in terms of frequency of use. Whereas visitors to any spa around the country might have traditionally sought out a massage that simply relaxed, now they are seeking a massage that also stimulates, conditions, and heals. Those suffering from certain conditions may also find deep tissue massage to be rather healing. Sufferers of chronic pain, fibromyalgia, edema, muscle cramping, and even carpal tunnel syndrome may find substantial relief from deep tissue massage. The pressure exerted on different groups of muscle tissue stimulates circulation in areas of pain. Deep tissue massage, however, is not pleasant to everybody. One can experience mild to moderate discomfort as tight muscles are worked on during the massage. Often, there can be a day or two of soreness following the deep tissue massage – similar to after you complete an intense workout. But if You're comfortable with a stronger, more focused Massage as well as the soreness that may accompany that, then a deep tissue massage may be for you. Contact your nearest spa to get a professional who is experienced in deep tissue massage.

Lansing Psychic
Psychic Reading Near Me Lansing Mi
Fortune Teller Near Me in Lansing Mi
This is one of the most controversial subjects among authentic psychics today. It is a topic that is discussed often among the people who are professionals and a very misunderstood subject among the general public. Unfortunately, the unsuspecting public who signs up on a psychic reading site assumes that once they pay their money they will get an authentic reading. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Separating the Lansing psychics from the fortunetellers
Most authentic psychic readings sites test all of their psychics, mediums and tarot readers to make sure that they can actually do a reading. They usually require several years of professional psychic reading experience online and privately. References are checked, and if a psychic has actual radio or TV experience, authored books or publishes articles, all of this must be verified before they are chosen as part of a real psychic reading team.
Clairvoyant Test in Lansing Mi
When you log onto a psychic service provider's website, you may feel swamped by the sheer amount of psychics to choose from. Even the smallest providers have at least 20 psychics who can schedule appointments appointments and read your charts, and many have that number online at any given time for instant chat.
More than most other professions, every Lansing psychic has his or her own story. While certifications exist for a variety of different psychic practices, there is no single certification network or board that distinguishes them. For this reason, the best way to choose a psychic is a) to go with how you feel when you read their profile and b) send an email asking them any questions that you may want to know.
Common Criteria for Choosing a Psychic
Many psychics will structure their reading in the form of a conversation, while others will simply speak and have you listen and feel the energy of their voice and words. Naturally gregarious people may be put at ease with a psychic who has a back-and-forth rapport, while more shy, sensitive types may prefer a different experience.
You may also wish to speak with a psychic for a few minutes to get a sense for his or her energy. Generally speaking, you also want to have a good non-verbal rapport with your psychic, and you may only be able to find this out by seeing how it feels to speak with one. It could be worth several dollars per psychic to have a 3-minute conversation with each psychic you're thinking about and see how it feels.
Future Fortune Teller in Lansing Mi
Nudity - dreaming of getting nude or witnessing someone nude shows weakness or a fear of being uncovered to others.
School - dreams connected with school can be literally translated to a learning experience, or it may represent a repressed childhood memory that needs attention.
Walking or driving - can represent the passage of time, or it may be literal that you are walking or driving.
War - this represents a real life issue that needs aggressive or affirmative action.
Dreams of psychic beginning are helpful; they can often present you with clues to what the future holds, and how to fully grasp things better in general, it's like a reward sneak peak to an upcoming movie, or a tip to a challenging game. Everybody has their own share of psychic dreams, but the downfall is, they tend not to consider them at all.
Love Psychic Reading in Lansing Mi
A belief in Lansing psychic abilities is not required to get something out of a psychic. A psychic provides the same sort of services as a counselor or psychiatrist. However, while psychiatrists often try to prescribe pills for things that may not require medication, and while counselors tend to remain on the surface when it comes to deeper issues of personal meaning, a psychic is trained to go right to the source. A psychic is willing to listen without judgment to whatever you're going through, which is more than can be said for a lot of so-called mental health professionals!
What many people call "psychic," those who don't believe in psychics often call "empathy" or "emotional intelligence." While most psychics claim to have greater powers than mere empathy, there is something to be said for someone who is able to connect instantly and "be there" with you, no matter what you're feeling or thinking. You don't have to believe in psychics to know that some people are just easier to talk to or share intimate secrets with.
Are Lansing Psychic Abilities Scientifically Real?
Many people who don't believe in psychics, if they are honest with themselves, will notice strange things in the course of their conversations with real psychic professionals. They might not realize this until months after the consultation when something that seemed impossible or unfathomable actually happens. This may be chalked up to a coincidence, or it may lead to a sense of open-mindedness about whether or not psychic abilities are real.
Clairsentient in Lansing Mi
The truth can emerge from falsehood and genuine meaning can be discovered. Psychic awareness in people and an appreciation of the spiritual is not something for the preserve of the woo woo hippy, it is a fundamental part of what and who we are.
If everyone can feel and see there is a power beyond the rational with a closer more intellectual awareness then by using psychic readings or any other spiritual experts you can begin to develop this unused resource of mans instinctual life, this in turn will help anyone achieve serenity and peace. The New Testament contains references to communication with the spirit world and the Old Testament does so to the same extent.
Christ himself declared that all who believed would be sent Gods spirits or angels. Do not think that communication with the spirits ceased in the early days of the Christian era as many churches would have you to believe, instead it should, has and will always continue for it an essential way to learn the truth.
Seek the services of an expert psychic medium and learn the truth for yourself and go from a point of knowledge which will never be wrong.

The value of the Qur'an in the eyes of the Muslims
فارسی English 1435 Views |
The value of the Qur'an with respect to containing a pattern of a complete way of life for man
The religion of Islam is superior to any other in that it guarantees happiness in man's life. For Muslims, Islam is a belief system with moral and practical laws that their source in the Qur'an.
God, may be exalted, says, "Indeed this Qur'an guides to the path which is clearer and straighter than any other" [XVII:9]. He also, "We revealed to you the book which clarifies every matter" [XVI: 89].
These references exemplify the numerous Qur'anic verses (ayat) which mention the principles of religious belief, moral virtues and general legal system governing all aspects of human behaviour.
Intellectual and traditional reasons for containing of the Qur'an as a pattern of a complete way of life for man
A consideration of following topics will enable one to understand the Qur'an provides a comprehensive programme of activity for man's life.
Happiness in life and human actions
Man has no other aim in life but the pursuit of happiness and pleasure, which manifests itself in much the same way as love of ease or wealth. Although some individuals seem to reject this happiness, for example, by ending their lives in suicide, or by turning away from a life of leisure, they too, in their own, confirm this principle of happiness, for, in seeking an end to their life or of material pleasure, they are still asserting their own personal choice of what happiness, means to them. Human a ctions, therefore, are directed largely by the prospects of happiness and prosperity offered by a certain idea, whether that idea be true or false.
Having rules in human life and actions
Man's activity in life is guided by a specific plan or programme. This fact is sell-evident, even though it is sometimes concealed by its very apparentness. Man acts according to his will and desires, he also weighs the necessity of a task before undertaking it.
In this he is promoted by an inherent scientific law, which is to say that he performs a task for " himself" in fulfilling needs which he perceives are necessary. There is, therefore, a direct link between the objective of a task its execution.
Any action undertaken by man, whether it be eating, sleeping or walking, occupies its own specific place and demands its own particular efforts. Yet an action is implemented according to an inherent law, the general concept of which is stored in man's perception and is recalled by motions associated with that action. This notion holds true whether or not one is obliged to undertake the action or whether or not the circumstances are favourable.
Every man, in respect of his own actions, is as the state in relation to its individual citizens, whose activity is controlled by specific laws, customs and behahviour. Just as the active forces in a state are obliged to adapt their actions according to certain laws, so is the social activity of a community composed of the actions of each individual. If this were not the case, the different components of society would fall apart and be destroyed in anarchy in the shortest time imaginable.
If a society is religious ,its government will reflect that religions, if it is secular, it will be regulated by a corresponding code of law. If a society is uncivilized and barbaric, a code of behaviour imposed by a tyrant will appear, otherwise, the conflict of various belief –systems within such a society will produce lawlessness.
Thus man, as an individual element of society, has no option but to possess and pursue a goal. He is guided in the pursuit of his goal by the path which corresponds to it and by the rules which must necessarily accompany his programme of activity. The Qur'an affirms this idea when it says that "every man has a goal to which he is turning, so compete with each other in good action" [II:148]. In the usage of the Qur'an, the word din, is basically applied to way, a pattern of living, and neither the believer or the non – believer is without a path, be it prophetic or man- made.
God, may He be exalted, describes the enemies of the divine din ( religion) as those "who prevent others from the path of God and would have it crooked" [ VII:45].
This verse shows that the term Sabil Allah – the path of God – used in the verse refers to the din of fitrah – the inherent pattern of life intended by God for man) ,It also indicates that even those who do not believe in God implement His din, albeit a deviated from, this deviation, which becomes their din, is also encompassed in God's programme.
Having purpose in the world and human life
The best and firmest path in life for man is the one which is dictated by his innate being and not by the sentiments of any individual or society. A close examination of any part of creation reveals that, from its very inception, it is guided by an innate purpose towards fulfilling its nature along the most appropriate and shortest path, every aspect of each part of creation is equipped to do so, acting as a blueprint for defining the nature of his existence. Indeed all of creation, be it animate or inanimate, is made up in this manner.
As example, we may say that a green –tipped shoot emerging from a single in the earth, is "aware" of its future existence as a plant which will yield an ear of wheat. By means of its inherent characteristics, the shoot acquires various mineral elements for its growth from the soil and changes, day by day, in from and strength until it becomes a fully- matured grain- bearing plant – and so comes to the end of its natural cycle.
Similarly, if we investigate the life – cycle of the walnut three, we observe that it too is, "aware", from the very beginning, of its own specific purpose in life, namely, to grow into a big walnut tree. It reaches this goal by developing according to its own distinct inherent characteristics, it does not, for example, follow the path of the wheat- plant in fulfilling its goal just as the wheat - plant does not follow the life pattern of the walnut tree.
Since every created object which makeup the visible world is subject to this same general law, there is no reason to doubt that man, as a species of creation, is not Indeed his physical capabilities are the best proof of this rule, like the rest of creation, they allow him to realize his purpose, and ultimate happiness, in life.
Having purpose of the world and human in the Qur'anic verses
Thus, we observe that man, in fact, guides himself to happiness and well-being merely by applying the fundamental laws inherent in his own nature.
This laws is confirmed by God in the Que'an, through His Prophet Moses, when he says, "Our Lord is He who gave every thing its nature, then guided it" [XX:50]. It is further explained in LXXXVII:2-3 as "He who created and fashioned in balanced proportion and He who measures and guides".
As to the creation and the nature of man, the Qur'an says, By the soul Him who fashioned it and then inspired it with wrong action and fear of God, he is truly successful who cases it to grow and purifies it and he is a failure who corrupts and destroys it [XCL:7-10].
God enjoins upon man the duty to "strive" towards a sincere application of the din ," ( that is, the fitrahof God, or the natural code of behaviour upon which He has created mankind), since " there is no changing ( the laws of ) the creation of God" [XXX:30].
He also says that "In truth, the only deen recognized by God is Islam" [III:19]. Here, Islam means submission, the method of submission to these very laws. The Qur'an further warns that "the actions of the man who chooses din other than Islam will not be accepted" [ III:85].
The gist of the above verses, and other references on the same subject, is that God has guided every creature –be it man, beast or vegetable – to a state of well – being and self- fulfillment appropriate to its individual make-up.
Thus the appropriate oath for man lies in the adoption of personal and social laws particular to this own fitrah ( or innate nature ), and in avoiding people who have become "denatural ized" by following their own notions or passions. It is clearly underlined that fitrah, far from denying man's feeling and passions, accords each its proper due and allows man's conflicting spiritual and material needs to be fulfilled in a harmonious fashion.
Thus, we many conclude that the intellect aql should rule man in matters pertaining to individual or personal decisions rather than his feeling, Similarly, truth and justice should govern society and not the whim of a tyrant or even the will of a majority, if that be contrary to society's benefit.
From this we may conclude that only God is empowered to make laws, since the only laws useful to man are those which are made according to this inherent nature.
It also follows that man's needs, arising from his outward circumstance and his inner reality, are fulfilled only by obeying God's instructions ( or laws) These needs may arise though events beyond man's control or as a result of the natural demands of his body.
Both are encompassed in the plan of life that God has designated for man. For ,as the Qur'an says, the "decistion rests with God only", [ XII:40,67] which is to say that there is no governance ( of man or society, of the inner or the outer) except that of God.
Basic Principles of life in the Qur'an
Without a specific creational plan, based on the innate meaning. We may understand this only through belief in God an a knowledge of his Unity, as explained in the Qur'an.
From here we may proceed to an understanding of the Day of Judgement, when man is rewarded or punished according to his deeds. Thereafter, we may arrive at a knowledge of the prophets and of prophetic teachings, since man cannot be judged without being first instructed in the matter of obedience and disobedience. There three fundamental teachings are considered to be the roots of the Islamic way of life.
Moral Principles and practical rules as the factors of developing religious principles
To these we may add the fundamentals of good character and morals which a true believer must possess, and which are a necessary extension of the three basic beliefs mentioned above. The laws governing daily activity not only guarantee man's happiness and moral character but, more importantly, increase his understanding of these beliefs and of the fundamentals of Islam.
It is clear that a thief, a traitor, a squanderer or a libertine do not possess the quality of innocence, nor can a miser, who hoards money, be called a generous person. Similarly, some one who never prays or remembers God cannot be called a believer in God and the Last Day, nor be described as His servant.
From this we way conclude that good character flourishes when joined to a pattern of correct actions, morals are not found in the man whose beliefs are in harmony with these fundamentals. A proud man cannot be expected to believe in God nor be humble in respect to the Divine, nor can the man, who has never understood the meaning of humanity, justice, mercy or compassion, believe in the Day of Rising and the Judgement.
Chapter XXXV:10 speaks of relationship between a sincere system of belief and a fitting character: Pure speech rises up to His and He raises up good deeds still further.
In chapter XXX:10 we learn again of this relationship between belief and action: Then evil the consequence of those who do wrong action because they denied the signs of Allah and they made a mock of them.
Islamic fundamental roots in the Qur'an
To summarize, the Qur'an is composed of the following Islamic fundamentals which together from an interlocking whole: a primary system of belief in Unity of God, Propherthood and the Day of Reckoning, accompanied by a second group of belief, namely, belief in the Tablet, the Pen (which delineates the sequence of comic events), the rule of destiny and the decree (without implying pre-determination), the angels, the throne of the Creator, and, finally, in the creation of the sky, the earth and every thing between them. Thereafter, we observe that man's well-being lies in his character being in harmony with there principles.
The shari'ah, namely the laws and code of behaviour explained in the Qur'an and commented upon in every detail by the model of the Prophet's life, is means where by a man may practise these principles. At this point we should add that the Prophet's family are his chosen heirs and entrusted with the task of exemplifying and explaining further the prophetic message and the shari'ah after the Prophet's death the Prophet himself has shown that the tradition, hadith, known as the hadith al- thaqlayn with all sects of Islam accept, refers specifically to this matter of succession.
The value of the Qur'an, as a document of Prophethood
The Qur'an refers on several occasions to the fact that it is the words of God, that it issues from a divine source in the very words in which the Prophet received them and which he later transmitted. The divine nature of the Qur'an is affirmed in several verses.
In LII:33-34 we read, "or they say ( the Prophet) is inventing it. indeed they do not believe. If they are truthful then let them produce words like it". Like wise in XVII:88 "Say ( O Muhammad), if all the jinn and mankind were to join forces to produce something like this Qur'an they could not produce it even if they were to help one another" Again in XI:13 "or they say he has invented it! Say then produce ten verses like it which you have invented," and again in X:38, "or they say he has invented it. Say produce a single chapter like it," we find further proof.
The following challenge is made in ChapterII:23 "and if you are in doubt concerning that which we have revealed to Our slave then produce a chapter like it."
Here it should be noted that the Qur'an is addressing those who grew up, with Muhammad, the man they knew to be unlettered and untutored in the matters spoken about in the Qur'an. Despite this knowledge, they still doubt.
Another challenge is issued, ( to those who would find contradictions in the Qur'an, but obviously cannot): Will they not reflect upon Qur'an ? If it had been from otherthan God, they would have found in it much incongruity [IV:82].
Since everything in the world is in a state of growth and self-perfection, then the Qur'an would of necessity lack harmony since it was revealed over a period of twenty-three years, it would lack harmony that is if we were to suppose that it was the work of man rather then of a prophet. The Qur'an, whose messages announce and confirm that it is the work of God, also teaches us Muhammad is messenger, sent by God, thus confirming the authenticity of the Prophet. In chapter XIII:43 God speaks Himself, as many occasions, confirming that He is witness and testimony to the Prophet Muhammad: "Say God is sufficient witness between you and me". The verse refers to disbelievers and defies their disbelief.
In another verse, the testimony of angels is added to that of God's: " But God testifies concerning that which he has revealed to you He has revealed it in His knowledge, and Angels also testify. And God is sufficient witness [IV:166].

Brands that Give Back (Not Just for the Holidays)
Nov 7th 2018 By Kiley Schiffman Storrs
The holiday season is about giving back. We celebrate the changing season with an acknowledgment of all that has been achieved throughout the year and by sharing our abundance with others. As we move into the 2018 holiday season, it is only appropriate that we highlight brands that give back, not just during the holidays but throughout the entire year. We are proud to carry these brands committed to making a social impact.
Hearts on Fire partners with the non-profit organization Girls Inc. Girls Inc. is a nonprofit that inspires girls to be strong, smart, and bold. By committing a percentage of 2018 sales from the Lorelei Collection, Hearts on Fire will work to increase awareness and generate interest for Girls Inc. through financial support for initiatives throughout the calendar year.
Hearts on Fire President Carly Capeci says, "We believe the brilliance of our diamonds is only matched by the brilliance inside every young woman". By committing financial, marketing, and volunteer support to the organization, Hearts on Fire will work to increase involvement in the nonprofit which aims "to celebrate the nuanced, multifaceted nature of every woman". Hearts on Fire is also a supporter of the American Heart Association and the Lenny Zakim Fund.
Losing a mother and grandmother to Alzheimer's garnered a commitment from Sloane Street founders Frances and Charlotte Gadbois to never lose sight of what was important to them. Partnering with Alzheimer's Research and CASA- Court Appointed Special Advocates, the pair created two exclusive collections from their jewelry brand where 100% of profits from each piece sold is gifted back directly to its respective cause in their home community.
Sloane Street believes that charity begins at home, and the partnership with CASA delivers the opportunity of a positive future for the most abused and neglected youth within Orange County. Sloane Street is using the impact of their global brand to better the lives of their local community.
Monica Rich Kosann has partnered with North Shore Animal League America (NSALA) to offer exclusively designed pieces from the Poesy Ring Collection with a special inscription inspired by NSALA. The Poesy ring features a paw print setting and has "Unconditional Love" inscribed on the inside of each piece. A dedicated amount from each purchase in the collection is donated to NSALA with no limit to the total contribution based on sales coming from the company.
For over thirty years, Robert has been an active supporter of numerous charities benefitting underprivileged children. For twenty years Robert has worked with House of Ruth, a Los Angeles based facility that assists families impacted by domestic violence. What started as support for the rehabilitation of a single home has evolved into a decades-long relationship with the purchase and development of two more facilities and the stated goal of continued expansion in the community.
In addition to House of Ruth, Robert created "Rock to the Rescue", a concert benefiting families who had lost their fathers in the September 11th World Trade Center attacks of 2001. Rock to the Rescue continued to provide support through fundraising concerts for the many generations of families impacted by 9/11. Supporting families both near and far, Robert aligns with Angelina Jolie's vast charitable efforts for underserved children in conflict regions around the globe.
These are just a few of the companies that we work with who believe that giving back is at the center of good business. Like us, they understand that we all must work together to make this world a better place.


For you don't want me anymore.
The next two verses would detail how much the youngster wanted to be on the team; that he'd tried so hard; that he did his best; that his friends are there; that he went to an extra two weeks of hockey school to get ready; and that he wishes he could start the tryout all over again.
The clincher would come at the end, like the big reveal at the end of a murder mystery. The kid would wonder why he had to ask his Dad to check his email around midnight because the coach was sending everyone the next night's lineup and the list of who'd been cut.
He couldn't sleep, the boy would moan. At home after the inter squad game, he tried to do homework, but couldn't concentrate. He snapped at his parents. He even ignored the dog, which only wanted a back rub.
Email – The modern day cowardly equivalent to posting a list on the wall and ducking out of sight while kids gather to see if their names are – or aren't – on it.
Why organizations insist on the most impersonal approach possible continues to baffle me. In all my years of coaching at any level, I've always done releases face to face. They're uniformly difficult.
I've seen young men in tears, parents furious, and released kids slam doors. But in every case, the player was offered a moment with me to learn exactly why it happened. Yes, sometimes there were lineups outside the door that had the ones at the end waiting a half hour. But how is that worse than waiting for an email? At least it was immediate and personal.
Not everyone would agree with the choices, but no one could argue they weren't given valid reasons and an opportunity to discuss it.
The most recent instance of the email opt-out was a team coached by a friend who was told by his association that the first releases would be via email. However, only 25 were trying out for the team. His first cuts numbered just four. He wanted to meet with each boy but wasn't permitted to do so. That night, after the inter-squad game, he sent the emails.
Whether or not releases are obvious is a moot point as is how it's presented. Every kid deserves a chance to hear it from the coach.
There's no great way to release or give bad news. But there are most definitely lots of horrible ways, the effects of which can linger for years. We can do better.

In the battle for the support of the population, it is not the capture of the Zarqawis or the Bin Ladens that will defeat the insurgency in Iraq. Nor is it the cordon and search of the villages that have had their doors kicked in by every coalition force rotation over the past four years. The solutions are much more complex and much further out of the conventional mindset. The current threat is extremely unique, making it impossible to use a stenciled approach in applying large scale solutions developed in other insurgencies throughout history. What we can do is take the knowledge, experience and tools we possess, and immerse ourselves in the current situation, developing new methods and tools that are effective in defeating a known threat. One staple in an insurgency is the role of the population, and counterinsurgents must apply that knowledge to all actions and inactions. A method that effectively gains popular support in one geographic area may actually be counter-productive in another due to fundamental differences in the ways of life. Many factors contribute to the way people think and feel. Counterinsurgents cannot fully develop techniques that will affect thought and emotion unless they are immersed in the situation. Counterinsurgents need small unit leaders with the mental capacity and agility to think on their own to develop solutions not found in field manuals. They must be adaptive and continually reexamine the insurgent and population to be most successful in developing methods that are effective in defeat.

Flushing Town Hall COVID Safety Policy
Mayor Bill de Blasio today announced major expansions to the "Key to NYC" program, the first-in-nation vaccination mandate for workers and customers at indoor dining, fitness, entertainment and performance venues. Starting December 14th, the program will require children aged 5-11 to show proof of one vaccination dose for those venues. Starting December 27th, New Yorkers aged 12 and older will be required to show proof of two vaccine doses, instead of one, except for those who have received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. 5-11-year-old children will be required to get vaccinated to participate in high-risk extracurricular activities. These activities include sports, band, orchestra, and dance. This requirement for the initial vaccine dose will take effect on December 14th.
Effective September 2, 2021
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that all indoor arts and entertainment venues must adhere to a policy of 100% vaccination against COVID-19 for all visitors and staff effective August 16th, 2021, with updates provided on August 25th, 2021. This policy supersedes all other mandates around COVID protocols, and allows (as per CDC guidance from April 2021) for fully vaccinated audiences to forego masking and social distancing requirements. Venues have the ability to add additional restrictions on visitation or staff as they see fit. Flushing Town Hall's policy will adhere closely to the New York City mandate, but we will maintain some lower capacity limits for the remainder of 2021. Our policy will be, until further notice:
All staff, audience members, and visitors (with some exceptions noted below) to Flushing Town Hall must show proof of vaccination against COVID-19 upon entry. For visitors to public events, Flushing Town Hall will set up a check-in desk at the front entrance for the purposes of checking proof of vaccination, plus identification bearing the same identifying information as the proof of vaccination.
Acceptable documentation of vaccination status include:
NYS Excelsior Pass
NYC COVID Safe App
Physical CDC Vaccination Card
Physical NYC Vaccination Record
Physical proof of overseas vaccination
Staff should send proof via email to Deputy Director Shumays @ sshumays@flushingtownhall.org
A single shot of a two-dose vaccine is considered acceptable for visitors
Boosters are not mandated
Staff, visitors and audience members must continue to be fully masked regardless of vaccination status, and should also continue to practice social distancing when possible. It is highly recommended that all staff continue to follow CDC-recommended hygiene practices around hand-washing and sanitization.
The following are exemptions to the vaccine mandate. Any individual subject to an exemption must show proof of a negative COVID-19 test result in order to gain entry to Flushing Town Hall, and must keep their mask on for the duration of their stay and continue to practice social distancing.
Children under 12, for whom a vaccine is not currently available, may continue to attend Flushing Town Hall events, but must be fully masked for the duration of their visit and be kept socially distanced from non-family members. (This policy is no longer valid as of December 14th)
Currently, independent contractors and vendors are not subject to the vaccine mandate. Such individuals must be fully masked and practice social distancing for the duration of their stay. This includes any performers who are unvaccinated.
Teaching Artists, whether independent contractors or on payroll, must show proof of vaccination in order to work in NYC Schools.
Until further notice, Flushing Town Hall will maintain a 50% capacity limit for FTH-produced public events (150 individuals in the theatre including all staff and performers, 50 individuals in the gallery including all staff and performers).
Vaccinated staff will no longer be subject to screening or required to sign the log book.
Rental events will be subject to a 70% capacity limit (210 individuals in the theatre including all staff and performers; 70 individuals in the gallery including all staff and performers). All rental events will be required to have Flushing Town Hall staff check proof of vaccination at the door, and Flushing Town Hall staff will have full discretion to deny entry to any individual who does not have proof of vaccination or proof of an exemption named above.
Delivery people or short-term vendors do not need to show proof of vaccination for entry, but must remain fully masked for the duration of their stay.
Vendors who must perform tasks within the building (maintenance and repair contractors, piano tuners, etc.) must either show proof of vaccination or remain fully masked for the duration of their stay.
Flushing Town Hall will continue to maintain CDC-recommended cleaning protocols for the building following all public and rental events.
