Do You Charge for Extra For TPMS?

Customer brings in his WRX wanting us to install his new tires, custom rims, and outfit with sensors. Ordered the same style of sensors that were in the OEM rims/tires. Our Autel MaxiTPMS TS601 couldn't read them or program them for some reason. Tech assumes that the car will magically program them and all will be well. Car is shipped and now I have an appointment for this Thursday to get it done correctly and beg forgiveness. The customer is very laid back and understanding. Me? I'm working on a thin as it is patience level. Does anyone have any suggestions on what they would do? I'm an owner and know only what I know. I have been searching for a solution online and unfortunately, my best Tech who could figure this out will be off when the customer returns. And I know I have an issue here with Tech and shop Manager letting jobs leave here unsure of the outcome. A simple road test would have revealed we didn't hit our target. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

So we all use various on-line help systems to find difficult problems...how do you invoice those costs to your customer? It seems like between monthly subscriptions for shop management software and help software costs the profits keep slipping away...help!

This is an article I wrote several years ago for a trade magazine.... I think it's still true today... Love to hear your comments.
Diagnostics fee or not
This has been an issue since day one. Should we charge to diagnose the car or should the estimate be free. Let's define an estimate first.
What is an estimate?
An estimate is a list of all the parts and labor involved in making a repair. With the possibilities of adding supplements to the original estimate if other work is deemed necessary after the initial work has started.
Ok that's an estimate, or is it…? Let's try this again.
What is an estimate?
It's a guess……. With the chance that I might get it right but more than likely the final bill will be different than what was original "estimated" at.
Hmm, the two definitions are different but at the same time mean the same thing… What about the diagnostic side? Ok, how about that… that diagnostic thing.
What is a diagnostic?
It is the process in which a technician is able to determine the cause or failure of a piece of equipment, vehicle, or appliance.
Did ya get that? … One more time …
What is a diagnostic?
It is the process used to determine the root cause of a given mechanical or electrical problem that has become an issue with a vehicle, appliance or piece of equipment.
Sounds the same doesn't it…. hmm, maybe we are getting to the real issue… MONEY
The diagnostics may take some time, may even require a few sophisticated scanners, wiring diagrams, and tools. Time is money as we all know, of course, knowledge, expertise and experience is a commodity that should always be respected no matter what field you are in. A service charge for such "diagnostics" is essential in the continuing financial stability of a shop or for that matter… any service oriented business.
Once the diagnostics has been completed an "estimate" can then be given to the customer for their approval. This should also be noted that if a "diagnostics" is preformed and the problem turns out to be "intermittent" or none exciting a fee still applies. The time has already been spent to figure out that there was nothing wrong. That brings up another touchy issue. For some reason the customer feels cheated if you charge for nothing found… now wait a minute, how was it determined that nothing was wrong… ah…the diagnostics lead to that result. Then the problem isn't the problem anymore, it's the time spent looking for the problem that is the problem. To ease the customer's woes you could always give them a time table for future re-evaluations. (30 days is a good round number) Note; It wouldn't be the first time I have diagnosed a car for a customer only to find out that their complaint is from lack of understanding of their vehicle or dare I say… their just another fruit basket behind the wheel.
Now I'm not in favor of a free diagnostics (if you couldn't tell already) and I'm not too fond of the free estimate. If there is any "man hours" that are part of any job a "man" wants paid. If that "man" is working on a commission basis, I can assure you that he is going to rush through the "estimate" in order to get to the real money end of the job.
However a diagnostic is a totally different thing, I don't think I could have made a living without charging for the time it takes to figure out some of the strange pr oblems I've encountered over the years. Some things were easy to diagnose, some took hours. But I believe it's the standardization of a diagnostic charge that would make things a lot easier for the customers to understand the complexities of today's problem evaluations.
If a tech couldn't figure out a problem in a reasonable length of time … say an hour… then it's quite possible the shop is going to be losing money if they kept him on that job. The next best thing would be to move him off that job. Put another tech on who might be able to figure out the problem in a reasonable amount of time. Of course, the shop is already behind the 8 ball, since the first tech didn't get the job done, but in the long run… it will get done, there will be an estimate for the customer explaining the repairs needed.
I don't know which is more of a problem, the shops out there not willing to charge for estimating… Oops I mean diagnostic time… or the customer who doesn't feel that it's a necessary part of the process. Then again, these are not yesterday's cars.
It's about time there were some standards that everyone in the industry had to go by, be it from the independent side or the dealer side. Regulation or self imposed limits as to how much can be charged across the board for various levels of diagnostics. Not to say diagnosing a bad ball joint is easier than a battery drain, no, not at all. Each field in the industry would have to come up with a balanced set of standards that those involved could agree was a fair price for that type of service. If all the independent shops charge the same fees in a demographic area it would lead to a more even playing field for the customer. Maybe, we should think about using a different term rather than "independent"… we can be independent in ownership, style, quality, etc… but put the customer's concerns up front. If I wasn't in the business and didn't know where to take my car I would really would like to know that I'm getting quality work done at a fair price at any shop I went to. If there was a way to put an end to the "I can get it done cheaper down the street" escapades… my drive home would be a whole lot more pleasant than in the past. .
If that didn't happen it then only comes down to a question of where to have the vehicle repaired at. Everyone has their favorite doctor, dentist, or restaurant. Which is probably based on location, atmosphere, or "ya just like that particular place". Price is always an issue, and probably always will be. If you're not getting the job done right at the shop of your choice… choose another one. How many times a day does your phone ring because you have some "price shopper" who is never coming to your shop because your price is higher than the last shop they called… even though they were referred by a friend to call you.
Maybe we should focus on better instructional classes, more information, and true manufacturer level scanners available to the independent side of the business. Sometimes too much effort is put on the "Be nice to the customer", or the preverbal "Customer is always right" routine. The old saying; "If the customer knew what was wrong they would have fixed it themselves" still holds true today. But I'm talking about telling them what's wrong with the vehicle, not how to fix it. With the advent of the computer age upon us the car has become a rolling updateable, flash reprogramming software jungle of information. The cost of these specialized scanners puts them out of the range of most consumers, and a lot of small shops, which, in some ways, also places the shade tree mechanic on the endangered species list.
I can't tell you how many times I've heard the same line from a customer's after I have diagnosed a problem. "Well, I could have done that myself, I would have looked there for the problem if I had the time, and I don't know why you're charging me for something so simple. You should give a break on the price because it was so simple. "Hey, I'm a regular customer I should be getting a discount." My usual answer is… "So if you knew what was wrong, why did you bring it to me to figure it out?" And, I'm not sure that other professional people you deal with such as a doctor, dentist, or the grocer…etc… is going to give you a discount just because you shop with them on a regular basis.
Common sense, the largest lacking component in all of these situations… In my opinion, once common sense is removed from the conversation "stupid" takes its place. I wonder if I could estimate how many times this has happened… maybe so… but I better think about diagnosing it first…

Hello everyone
I am new to the service side of the retail auto industry having worked in sales for 5 years. I am now the mechanical department manager of a Carstar collision repair shop. In addition to the usual insurance work, I am starting to take on more customer pay repairs. An issue I keep running into is that because I am located in Canada (South Ontario not far from Detroit) many of the vehicles we work on are severely rusted underneath and many bolts have siezed in place. Many require torches, cutting, drilling, and other unusual disassembly of adjacent components to remove. For example right now I am having a starter replaced on a caravan, and the lower engine mount needs to be removed but is siezed. We needed to apply heat but because it is so close to the rad fan shroud, ended up having to remove the shroud and other items nearby just to attempt to heat and remove the bolt. This ultimately didn't work, and we are now cutting it and drilling it out. Often times using heat causes damage to components. We needed to use heat to cut into a suspension knuckle to remove it after it was damaged from a curb, and ended up destroying a wheel bearing. Abs sensors also commonly need to be snapped off and drilled out because they are just so fused in place. Obviously this gets expensive.
This happens all the time, and as a result the times I am using from shopkey pro and mitchell are not reflective of how long these jobs actually take. On one hand I don't feel it is fair to the customer to charge 2.6 hours for the starter replacement, and another 3 hours to attempting multiple ways to get a bolt out, heating, removing adjacent components, fan shroud R+I... turning a 2.6 hour job into 5.6 hours. On the other hand I understand that this is just the reality of working on vehicles older than a couple years in this part of the country and the customer should be paying for it.
What would you consider standard practice in this situation? I don't want to be eating all this extra time, but I also don't want to have to charge customer hours upon hours additionally because we have to figure out how to unsieze everything.

Stop subsidising other industries and charge your administrative fees!
For example if you do towing and you have to write out a check to pay towing fees to other providers, charge an administrative fee.
Data entry, getting all details correctly and chasing down paper costs money. We charge a $25 to $35 fee depending how much time the clerk has to spend working on the case.
You should have a line on your billing system so your clerk automatically ads the admin fee when they process the payout to the other service provider.

Less Stress. More Ease.
Happy Sunday, friends!
It's been a bit of a rough weekend around these parts. We had a gas leak in our house on Friday morning which resulted in the gas being shut off to our home, a.k.a. no heat and no hot water in single digit and negative degree weather. Truthfully it was more stressful + inconvenient than anything else. We worked with a plumbing company who stayed late on Friday and came back again Saturday morning, so when it was all said and done it was only 36 or so hours. We had at least 6 different space heaters keeping temps above 50 degrees. And we still had a roof over our heads, plenty of blankies and clothes to put on and keep us warm. And the option to spend the afternoon at the library where there IS heat. Which we totally did. Except for J who had to stay with the plumbers.
But those interruptions to our normal schedule, definitely had me feeling more stress and less ease. Which is pretty much the exact opposite of how I choose to feel.
I don't know about you but I like to ease out of the weekend and into the week. And the best way I can think of to do that is with mindfulness + movement layered in with my favorite relaxing essential oils and an intention for the week.
If this sounds like what you need today too, then please join us THIS evening and every Sunday at 4pm for Candlelight Yoga.
Picture it. The soft glow of candles, the smell of lavender permeating the air drawing you deeper into relaxation, your most comfortable yoga clothes, and an invitation to connect on a deeper level with Self.
Reserve your spot before class with a 10 class pass (+ save 20%), a 5 class pass (save 15%) or a drop in for $15. Cash and card accepted at the door as well, but seriously, this is easier.

- Name
- Tyler Lynch
- Place of Residence
- Togura-Kamiyamada Onsen
- Occupation
- Ryokan innkeeper
- Contribution to Inbound
- Nagano Inbound Summit Director
Hajimemashite. My name is Tyler Lynch, the proprietor of Kamesei Ryokan. Here is a little background about me:
I was born, reared and raised in Seattle, Washington, USA. In college, I studied Japanese language and did an exchange study to Kobe. After graduating, I ended up doing an Eikaiwa gig in Nagano. The prefecture's beautiful nature, with the green mountains and all the onsens, really charmed me. When I met the daughter of an onsen ryokan, I invited myself over for a bath, and we hit it off from there! I ended up dragging Mari back to Seattle where we got married and lived for 11 years. Meanwhile, Mari's mother was wanting to retire but with no one to take on the inn, she was going to tear it down and turn it into a parking lot.
We decided not to let that happen.
In the fall of 2005, we moved here to start helping out. I am fortunate to have this opportunity to work here at Kamesei, and to be able to provide a relaxing experience for our guests. Flipping futons and making outdoor baths is only half of my job. The other half is working with the other innkeepers to make our town more attractive to visitors, and with people throughout the prefecture sharing Nagano with travellers from overseas. I would like to use this blog to introduce Togura-Kamiyamada and Nagano's other many onsens to the world. Yoroshiku.

MONTRÉAL, QUÉBEC--(Marketwired - April 4, 2016) - Matamec Explorations inc. ("Matamec" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:MAT)(OTCQX:MHREF) and Canada Strategic Metals ("CSM") (TSX VENTURE:CJC)(FRANKFURT:YXEN)(OTCBB:CJCFF) are pleased to announce that the La Pointe zone of the Sakami property shows evidence of significant gold potential. The property is optioned by CSM (see below: Option agreement - Sakami Property) and is situated in James Bay (Québec). The La Pointe zone is located in the southern part of the property (See figure 1: Sakami Property Geology).
Significant gold potential in the La Pointe Zone (Sakami Property)
The most significant drillhole intervals of the La Pointe zone are located along the northwest limit of the model, which remains open in that direction. Recent remodeling of the La Pointe zone revealed two superimposed main structures (vein 22 and 25), which have a relatively predictable continuity, as well as potential for additional veins (see figure 3: Vertical section).
Previously summarized details of the La Pointe zone (See figure 3: Longitudinal section):
These mineralised horizons are sub-parallel to the major tectonic contact, which spans more than 15 km on the Sakami property (see figure 1 Sakami Property Geology).
The orogenic gold deposits of the Sakami sector contain significant gold mineralisation occurrences that present similar characteristics as the same deposit types of the Abitibi and James Bay sectors. They consist of quartz and brown tourmaline with minor arsenopyrite mineralisation hosted within various lithologies (for example, the Opinaca sediments, the La Grande mafic volcanics, and iron formations) in association with a strong deformation zone, notably near the tectonic contact of the La Grande-Opinaca sub-provinces. The mineralisation style and tectonic setting share considerable similarities with the Eleonore mine and the Cheechoo showing.
Guy Desharnais, géo., Ph.D. (OGQ No.1141), is a Qualified Person as per NI 43-101; he reviewed and approved the technical content of this press release.
"The La Pointe zone of the Sakami property has not yet revealed its full potential," said André Gauthier, President and CEO of Matamec. "Moreover, the breadth of the Company's gold property portfolio clearly demonstrates that Matamec's strategy "From gold to rare earths", is an added value for shareholders of the company".
Option Agreement - Sakami Property
On August 16th, 2013, Matamec signed an option agreement with CSM in which the latter could acquire a 50% interest in the Sakami gold project by spending $2,250,000CAD in exploration work over a period of three (3) years and before August 16th, 2016. CSM has spent nearly $1,600,000CAD on the property to date.
About Matamec

Staying relevant matters.
It's not just talk, we walk the walk , and keep moving.
Many business mentors, coaches, and strategists have stopped doing what they preach. Their skills get stale, and they are often out of touch from a technological perspective. Whoever you work with, make sure they still have skin in the game. Check out Liz's recent feature in Strong Fitness magazine:

How to apply
First, apply to SFU
|Type of student
|What does it mean?
|Admission process
Current SFU student
You currently attend SFU as an undergraduate student.
Fill out this online form to qualify for SFU NOW courses. That's it!
If you're currently an SFU student, you may skip steps two through four.
Reactivated student
You have attended SFU in the past, and left in good academic standing, but you have not completed any other transferable college or university credits since then.
|Complete SFU's Student Reactivation Application Form. Because your academic record will be available to us, you do not have to complete the full undergraduate application form.
Transfer Student
|You have studied at another post-secondary institution and have completed 24 or more transferable credits/units.
|Follow the regular admission process below.
Mature student
|If you are 23 years old or more, have attempted fewer than 24 transferable credits, and do not meet regular SFU admission requirements through your transferable coursework. SFU Admissions will look at your high school and transferable coursework.

Contact us if you have any questions.
2. Make sure you meet SFU's admission requirements.
Students applying to SFU must meet the GPA requirements outlined in our undergraduate admission requirements. The required GPA can change from semester to semester and depends on the program. If you do not meet SFU's regular admission requirements, you may be able to apply as a diverse qualifications student.
3. Check SFU's application deadlines.
The application deadlines for admission to SFU are available on the SFU Admissions website.
4. Complete SFU's online application.
There are two places through which you can access the SFU application: EducationPlannerBC and the SFU Admissions page.
You may find our video tutorials helpful.
The application consists of six sections:
Section 1: Personal information
Once you have completed this section, you will receive an email with your login name and password—this does not mean your application has been completed. You have to complete the entire application and pay the $78 application fee before SFU admissions officers can review your application.
Section 2: Contact information
Section 3: Academic history
Your academic history includes information from your high school and all of the post-secondary institutions you've attended.
Section 4: Program selection
This section requires the following:
- The term for which you would like to be admitted.
- The applicant category that best describes you (if you're unsure, review Step 1).
- Your first and second choice of degree program.
- Proof of satisfaction of SFU's English Language Requirement.
- Proof of satisfaction of SFU's Quantitative Requirement.
Note: You may complete only a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree entirely through SFU NOW, but if your schedule allows, you may apply to complete any other degree SFU offers. Simply choose the faculty and program that interests you. You need to select a first-choice faculty to move forward in your application, but you do not have to select a specific area of study—simply select Bachelor of Arts (or a related degree). You can choose a major or minor later.
Section 5: Additional information
If you would like another person to have permission to look at your application, this is the place to make that note.
Section 6: Confirmation and payment
You can make edits here. Again, the admissions team cannot review your application until you pay the $78 application fee payable by credit card online (non-refundable).
If you lose your Internet connection while completing the SFU application form, contact the university for help at email@example.com.
If you have any questions about the SFU admissions process or experience any difficulties, contact us. Let us know you are pursuing admission to SFU NOW and, as best you can, tell us which courses you wish to take during your first semester. With this information, we can help you plan your part-time studies. We can also help you enrol in other SFU courses.
After you've applied to SFU
After you submit your application and pay your $78 fee, the university's admissions office will review your application and supporting documents and make a decision.
If your application is complete and you are admissible based on its contents, SFU may admit you right away. Most applicants do not receive an immediate offer of admission, however. The university may need additional information and/or official documents.
Because SFU cannot consider your application until they receive your application fee and all official documents, you must complete the following steps once you receive your user ID and password:
1. Log in to SFU's Student Information System.
Soon after applying for admission to SFU, you will receive an email acknowledging your application and giving you a student ID and password. The user ID is your nine-digit student number.
The ID and password will allow you to log in to SFU's Student Information System (SIS). Once you've logged in, you will be able to track the status of your application under Admissions. On the right side of the screen, you will see a to-do list of tasks that you must complete.
2. Submit supporting documentation if you have not already done so.
If any of your official academic documents (e.g., original copies of university, college or high school transcripts) are required for admission or transfer credit, mail them as soon as possible to the following address:
Admissions, Student Services
Simon Fraser University
8888 University Drive
Burnaby BC
Required supporting documentation includes English-language test scores if English is not your first language.
Please see SFU's English Language Requirement site for detailed information on the SFU English Language Requirement for all applicants.
3. Check your to-do list frequently.
Check your to-do list in SIS to confirm that SFU has received your transcripts.
Contact us if you are unsure about an item on your list or you need help with your application. Help is also available at students.sfu.ca/help/sishelp, 778-782-6930, or email@example.com.
4. Wait for confirmation of admission.
When the tasks on your to-do list are complete, please allow several weeks for your application to be evaluated. If your application is successful, we will send your offer of admission by email and regular mail.
Please note that offers of admission are valid for only one semester. If you are admitted but do not enroll in classes, or you enroll in but withdraw from classes before or during your first semester, you must reapply if you wish to attend SFU in a subsequent semester.
After you're admitted, apply to SFU NOW
Once you've been offered admission to SFU, you must do several things to confirm your acceptance and enroll in SFU NOW (evening and weekend) classes:
1. Apply to join SFU NOW by completing this form.
Once we receive and approve your application, we will contact you with more information about SFU NOW and how to enroll in SFU NOW courses.
2. Become familiar with the Student Information System.
You can complete almost all post-admission tasks through SFU's Student Information System (SIS). When you log in to SIS, you will see your Student Center. Through the Student Center, you can manage most of your school-related activities.
A set of short but helpful SIS video tutorials is available. They're available to the right of your Student Center under Self-Service Video Tutorials. Now is a good time to watch the videos under Things to Know Before You Enroll, Getting Started, and Enrollment.
3. Pay your admission deposit.
Pay your $250 for Canadian students or $750 for International students admission deposit. The admission deposit lets SFU know that you have accepted their offer of admission. The admission deposit is non-refundable, but it is not an additional tuition fee—it will automatically be applied to your tuition once you enroll in courses.
Confirm that your admission deposit has been processed by looking at the balance in your account summary in SIS. If you see -$250 or -$750, your deposit has been processed.
4. Get your SFU computing ID and activate your account.
After you pay your admission deposit, you'll receive an email from Academic Computing Services about your SFU computing ID. It replaces the temporary student ID and password you previously used to access SIS.
Normally, your SFU computing ID will be ready to activate within three days. It may arrive before or after enrolment begins, depending on when SFU receives your admission deposit.
Once you've received the email about your computing ID, here's how to activate your account:
- Visit Academic Computing Services > SFU Computing Account Activation.
- Read the terms of use and click I Accept.
- Enter and submit your personal information.
- Create your password. (Choose a password that is easy to remember and that only you know.)
- Print the confirmation page and/or write down your computing ID and password.
Once your account is activated, you can use your computing ID when you log in to SIS. Your nine-digit student number was a temporary user ID and should not be used as a computing ID once you've activated your permanent computing ID.
Your SFU computing ID gives you access to SIS so you can enrol in classes, as well as access to campus labs, the SFU modem pool, the SFU Library, and other services.
Your SFU computing ID is also your official SFU email account. Be sure to log into this account (connect.sfu.ca) often to read your emails. SFU-related emails, including notices from your professors, classes and the university administration, go to your SFU email address.
5. Enroll in classes.
Enrollment for each semester normally begins about two months before classes begin. However, not all students are released into the enrollment system at once. You will receive an enrollment date and time, which will be available online through SIS, for when you can start selecting classes. Remember that SFU NOW courses are reserved for you for only three weeks. After the third week of the enrollment period, SFU NOW courses open to all SFU students.
To enroll in classes, log into SIS. Visit Enroll in SFU courses for step-by-step information.
Please note that you will not be able to enroll until you have set up your SFU computing ID.
6. Pay your tuition.
Tuition fees for SFU NOW courses and regular undergraduate courses are the same.
Typically, you must pay tuition and student fees by the second or third week of classes. For more information, visit SFU's payment methods page.
Find out about deadlines for important activities, including adding and dropping classes, as well as related penalties.
Application deadline
Thursday, January 31, 2019
Visit SFU Admissions website for all application deadlines.

Fall Lookbook '16
You guys.
I know we're all trying to process the results of one of the most ridiculous presidential races this country has ever seen. And though the president-elect is not the ideal choice for most of us, we MUST continue being awesome, proudly displaying our blackness and knowing this term is not permanent. We gon' be alright!
Now, to take your mind off things and I've done my first fall lookbook and I'm excited to share it with you guys! Let Solange's Cranes In The Sky take you away for a moment...

Because in the end, you will ponder on this day for the rest of your days and your appearance will always be remembered through pictures and videos, here are a few quick tips to consider for your big day!To start, consider dieting and exercise, avoid those crash diets weeks prior to your wedding, such diets can have an effect on how your dress fits, give you migraine and possibly make you ill.

Visit your dentist the week of your big day, having a cleaning or whitening will make your teeth look great for all the smiles and photos during the day. Do not drink coffee, tea or drink red wine before the day of the wedding to avoid staining them, if possible use straws.Feel good, indulge yourself with a long massage a day before the wedding, this will leave you refreshed and relaxed, do not ignore a sauna or chiropractic treatment. Book a beauty spa and treat yourself to a day of self care and self nourishment. Get a facial days before the wedding to assure your face responds well to the treatment, avoid getting one a day before your wedding to avoid redness, especially when your are thinking of getting waxed, chemical peels are great for radiant skin, but you must get these months before your big day though.Your wedding day will be filled with activities, social events and engagements, so you will want to look and feel your best, and this involves being comfortable and relaxed.

Work on the outline of your windows to make the top rounder. You can add a small circle on the stained glass too!
First, draw a large rectangle to create the front of your building. On top of this shape, add a triangle to illustrate the roof of your church.
Drawing a nice and classic cartoon church is a nice challenge! Over the years, the architectural design of churches has evolved and changed tremendously. Now, some churches are almost not recognizable from the outside.
On top of the church, draw a small cross. Work on the outline of the doors (like shown above) and sketch some handles. You can also add a few lines on the stained glass.
Sketch a shape that looks like a house. This is like a rough outline for your understanding. Once you being drawing from a direction either left, right, top or bottom, you can develop on it as you draw more.
As you progress, check the original Church image if you have one. If you are drawing a Church on your own with your imagination, then it will appear like your imaginative Church. You may use stencils for drawing perfect shapes or just make triangle from the sides of a rectangle.
Create shadow. Try to put some shadow on it and change the color of the outline. You may darken the areas at the joining of two walls. Make the coloring strokes either horizontal or vertical. If you make dark strokes of color which is showing horizontal and vertical patches of color, it may not look very appealing.
Make the colors blend and maintain the coloring strokes in a flow.
While using a charcoal pencil, make sure not to move your palm around it accidentally while coloring the rest of the drawing. As charcoal pencil's color smudges when rubbed.
A Church is a place of worship typically for Christians or a place of Catholic worship. A Church usually has a tower or dome and a cross on top of it. It has a variety of architectural designs and patterns outside as well as on the inside.
Time to add more details! Under each window, add a small rectangle. Draw a big square in front to represent the door.
Now this church need some windows! Sketch three rectangles, one on the bell tower and two on the front of your building. You can also draw a stained glass on the roof by adding a medium circle.

Beautify the Church. Depending upon your requirement you may beautify your Church. It is seen that many Churches have colored glass on the doors and windows. You may make a colorful display on the doors and windows to make your drawing look more aesthetic and beautiful.
Add some details on it. Create lines that will form different kinds of shapes for the window.
Thanks to all authors for creating a page that has been read 94,346 times.
Rainbows are found frequently in the bible, and they always have seven colors. Seven is the number of perfection and considered to be God's number, so be sure to include all seven colors in your rainbows.
Color and outline. You may try dark colors for the roof and light colors for the windows. You may blend different colors too for creating the illusion of depth and dimension. Outline the drawing with a darker sketch pen or charcoal pencil depending upon your choice of colors.
If you are not very proficient with coloring you may use crayons or pencil colors and make very light strokes. As you color, you may play with the light and darker colors. A hint to color well is to assign an area where light falls.
Like sunlight will not be alike on the east and the west. Hence, one side will be dark, another will be lighter.

Use a light colored pencil while drawing. Because while drawing you may have to draw and erase a lot. The erased marks need not be visible after being erased. The smoother the paper remains after you are done drawing, the better the overall drawing will look.
Use lighter colors first if possible. This is because after the light colors, you could add the darker colors. When two colors are overlapped, it mixes. When a light color spreads, it could be hidden with darker colors.
But when the darker colors spread, it may get difficult to erase or cover them. Include stained glass windows if you wish and are drawing a Church you've imagined rather than one that exists. Older Churches in the UK often have these and the rich colors used in the glass can contrast beautifully with the dark stone of the Church's construction.
Add detailing to the Church. Draw a tower on top. Add some windows to the walls. The windows could be well-shaped or ornate like in most Churches. Draw the rectangular door in front. You may make the door conical at the top.
Understand the Church. To make a good Church you must first understand the size of the Church. The Church must fit well on the drawing surface or paper. So justify your desired Church figure as to how far and wide it will stretch so it fits well.
Draw the entrance. For the entrance you may make steps. Make a straight line on your sketch and create box like figures to add a third dimension to the stairs.
Add a few colors and you are done! A solid and classic church drawn in only five minutes (or so)! Another nice challenge would be to draw another church using a 3D perspective! But that would be the topic of another tutorial! Have fun!
Understand the dimension of the Church. The Church will not be visible from all four sides on a sheet of paper. Understand which sides of the Church will be displaying in your drawing. This sets the view or the perspective of the drawing.
The front view will look larger and the back side of the Church will look narrow. This narrowness shows that the Church is small or big. The more narrow it gets from front to back, the bigger the Church appears.
Draw the lines keeping the Church's walls in mind. The lines of the walls will start straight and end in a slope depending upon your design in mind.
Not more bell towers or cross to contemplate. But don't worry! In this tutorial, you will learn to draw a nice church with all features needed to make it recognizable and admire by everyone!
Next, let's draw the bell tower. Draw a long and thin rectangle to do so. Then, sketch a small triangle on top to create the roof of your tower.

Today, our travel through Bretagne leads us to Rennes, the capital city of this wondrous French region, and therefore, an institutional centre, full of picturesque monuments and majestic buildings, an urban environment to feel Bretagne's spirit.
Today, Rennes still looks like in past times, with lots of old, beautiful streets, in which it's possible to find some of the best chocolatiers in Bretagne -with the most original shaped chocolates that you could ever imagine-. A place that you shouldn't miss if you decide to visit Rennes is the Palais du Parlement, today turned into a justice court. The Opera of Rennes is another remarkable landmark, alongside with the city hall (hôtel de ville) which is located just opposite the Opera building.
Hoped you enjoyed the pics, have a nice week!

I love Parkhurst. The suburb's 4th Avenue is filled with some of the best restaurants and stores in Jozi and there is nothing better than sitting outside in the sun, tasting delicious foods and having a bit of bubbly. When CRAFT Restaurant, on the road, invited me to taste some of the new foods on their menu, I knew I was in for a treat.
The restaurant has such a great atmosphere. It's clean, it's simple, but it's got a feeling of warmth. As we sat down, the team behind CRAFT started their overflow of hospitality immediately. We were greeted with some bubbly and two delicious focaccia breads – one with mascarpone cheese and berries and the other with blue cheese and pear. Two really interesting combinations that worked really well together.
Our next item was something for the adventurous only and unfortunately, I wasn't feeling adventurous that day. The peeps at CRAFT cooked some bone marrow with snails and garlic, put it back in the bone, topped it with Parmesan cheese and served it with some roast potatoes. Everyone else at the table couldn't get over how delicious it was, so I'm assuming it's a dish that needs to be tried if you're a lover of that sort of thing.
Next on our tantalizing adventure, we were given a taste of their chicken liver salad which was my highlight of the tasting experience. The liver was pan-friend perfectly and it was tossed with some greens, toasted pine nuts and this balsamic vinegar jelly. While I could have done without the jelly, the salad was pure perfection and is definitely on my list next time I visit. Their anchovy salad, however, wasn't for me. After that we were treated to their hot dog. The gourmet dish was served alongside some sauces as well as a coleslaw salad which was blended with some bacon bits. Now this looked amazeballs, but, of course, it was pork and I do not eat meat of that kind.
Lastly, we were given a taste of five of their signature burgers from their traditional burger to vegetarian options and even a lamb burger. These guys know how to make a good burger and if you're looking for a different spin on the traditional food, this is your place to go. But, enough about the food. Let's move on to their milkshakes. The peeps at CRAFT gave us a taste of their Ferrero Rocher milkshake and their Candy Floss milkshake. Now the Ferrero one was amazing but man, did that Candy Floss milkshake blow me away! It's a MUST HAVE next time you visit the restaurant.
I would like to thank the folk at CRAFT for a great afternoon filled with food, drink and great company. If there's one thing you should do this festive season, it's get yourself down there for some delicious chow!

Federal watchdogs should continue to monitor controversial and violence-plagued school programs for young inmates at Rikers Island, activists charge.
Since 1996, federal monitors have overseen educational programs at the city jail, to make sure teenage detainees are receiving legally mandated schooling, even while they're incarcerated.
The monitors' most recent report, published in July, was meant to mark the end of the oversight but still found safety concerns and a lack of resources deprived young inmates their lessons.
In January, the program grabbed headlines after a spate of slashings kept students from getting to class, causing attendance rates to crater.
And in legal papers filed Feb. 1, lawyers for the Legal Aid Society responded to the federal monitor's report, arguing that more oversight of the long-troubled jail is needed.
Specifically, Legal Aid attorneys claimed that Rikers watchdog Dr. Peter Leone should remain on the case for an additional two years because the jail is still denying young inmates an education.
"The court should continue the order and Dr. Leone's monitoring functions because the City Defendants have yet to comply," the legal brief states.
Leone didn't return a call for comment and a Legal Aid spokesperson declined to elaborate on the group's filing.
Problems with young inmates at Rikers Island go back decades.
In 1996, a group of 11 Rikers students filed a class action suit against the city for not providing them with basic schooling mandated by state and federal law.
The case is still ongoing while two sets of federal monitors have kept tabs on schools at the jail.
In 2002, Legal Aid lawyers joined the battle with a new suit making fresh arguments that the city failed to provide a proper education for teen inmates.
The city made sweeping changes to boost school options in the wake of the lawsuit, but problems persisted.
A "deep-seated culture of violence" against students at Rikers was uncovered by then-U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara in a report issued in August 2014.
And Leone, has found the city was "inadequate and non-compliant" with earlier federal orders on inmate education.
A Daily News report in January revealed that attendance rates at East River Academy on Rikers Island dropped by half since the start of the current school year, falling to just 16% in December.
Attendance bounced back up to 21% last month but it's below the 36% attendance rate the school posted in September.
City records show an official tally of 12 slashings between September and December.
But an unofficial count kept by staffers shows that at least 19 knifings that have interrupted classes since September.
Department of Corrections Press Secretary Jason Kersten said Rikers officials are working to improve attendance.
"School enrollment for young adults in our custody is up, and we are committed to ensuring they are able to attend classes regularly," Kersten said.

Rebel Wilson has joined the cast of "Thor: Ragnarok" and "Hunt for the Wilderpeople" director Taika Waititi's new film "Jojo Rabbit" at Fox Searchlight.
The WWII satire follows a ten-year-old boy who struggles to find his place in an increasingly Fascist regime and turns to an imaginary friend (Adolf Hitler as voiced by Waititi) when faced with the discovery that his mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a Jewish girl in their home.
He progressively begins to see the young girl as human instead of the cruel propaganda being dished out at the youth camp. Wilson will play Fraulein Rahm, a brutish instructor in the Hitler Youth Camp the young man has just been recruited to attend. She joins a cast that also includes Sam Rockwell as the camp's director.
Filming will get underway shortly in Prague.

grow more than your beard, drew
it's monday. i am feeling the weight of my official end of honeymoon with WaMu.
they never want the ATM they always just want to walk in. kids ahead, phone to ear, terrible din "I want money" they say no slip, no card, no id to display. were you born yesterday? their ignorance and negligence of their own funds, make putting them more in debt sound like fun.
do you see what this job is doing to me? hehe. i applied for about half a dozen jobs at monster.com... we'll see.
in the meantime i am looking forward to tonight. tim, tony, and jack. three awesome BAMFs.
the weekend was full of shows. saturday: tim serdynski and castaway. sunday: joon and summerbirds in the cellar. all pretty good tunes.
john and i are good pool opponents. we are both pretty bad at it. so the games are always close.
oh yeah, good times with the crew at wing house. and a list in the making:
red flags that you should immediately cancel your sequel. 1. If any major character's actor refuses, abort mission. 2. If you can't get funding/support to have a release in theaters nationwide, abort mission.
That's all we've got so far... any suggestions?
PS from a Summerbirds shirt:
corporations have been enthroned an era of corruption in high places will follow and the money power will endeavor to prolong its reign by working on the prejudices of the people until wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the republic is destroyed.

Animatronic Head: Work in Progress
fibreglass mould is taken of this and a fibreglass core produced from it, which will be the basis for the mechanical understructure on which the skin will sit. Softened silicone, pigmented to the base colour of the performer's skin is poured into the mould and when it has set forms the skin for the head.
The fibreglass core is then mechanised using 12 servos, 10 for the eyes and brows and 2 for the jaw and is mechanically completely self contained, with a magnetic power switch which can be operated through the silicone skin. A second "working" skin is used to test the movement, after which the "hero" skin is stuck down onto the mechanical underskull and the head goes through a period of testing and programming with the performance system.
Once programming is completed the skin is prepped for painting, seams trimmed and any bubbles in the silicone filled. The rubber is painted with a mix of oil paints and liquid silicone, using reference photos and colour swatches taken during the lifecast and acrylic teeth produced from casts of the performers own teeth to replace the test set already in the head.
Finally, the back, sides and front hairline of the hair is hand punched and a knotted wig used for the longer top section, then the eyelashes and eyebrows added to complete the cosmetic process.
BATMAN VS SUPERMAN Zod Body BTS ADI
For the blockbuster BATMAN VS SUPERMAN, ADI created two ultra-realistic replicas of the deceased General Zod that would withstand close scrutiny by a camera lense. Fitness trainer Greg Plitt came to ADI for us to lifecast his body from the neck down while our colleague Barney Burman loaned us a headcast of actor Michael Shannon. Once the Shannon headcast was copied both the head and body were run in silicone with a polyfoam fill to make them solid. Zod body silicone runs and seaming: Tony Matijevich, Brian Clawson, and Tim Leach. Hair: Denise Baer. Paint: Mike Larrabee.
PLEASE NOTE: no photographs in this video represent REAL or ACTUAL deceased individuals (they are photos of previous replica work).
Before the release of the film, Greg Plitt passed away. This video is dedicated to his memory.
How Are Wax Figures Made?
If you're going to make a lifelike wax figure, you're going to need lots of two things: time and money. Experts estimate it takes roughly 350 hours to create a modern wax figure. Over the course of that 350 hours, you'll also likely spend between $150,000-$300,000!
That's not all you'll need, though. You'll need plenty of artistic flair, as well as a wide range of sophisticated tools and materials.
Sculptors of wax figures start by getting to know their subject. By looking at photographs and watching videos, they get to know what their subject looks like and how he or she behaves. If at all possible, they will also try to meet with their subject in order to observe them closely and take precise measurements.
They start the construction process by building a full-size clay model with a steel frame for the body. The head, which contains the most detail and is the most difficult part to perfect, is created as a separate, removable piece.
Once they have the clay model finished, sculptors then create a plaster mold of the face and head. After removing the plaster mold from the clay model, they fill the hollow mold with hot wax and then let it cool, so that the thick layer of wax hardens. At that point, the plaster mold can be removed.
Precise tools can then be used to add fine details to the wax face and head. For the eyes, hand-painted acrylic eyeballs are placed into the eye sockets. Multiple layers of oil paint are applied to create the right skin tone and accentuate prominent facial features. Facial and head hair, as well as clothing, are then added to finish the figure.
Why make figures out of wax? Sculptors note that wax is easy to cut and shape at room temperature. It also mixes with colors and takes paint very well. It's also easy to manipulate with other materials to get the precise texture and consistency desired to be as lifelike as possible.

Peru travel guide: Biking and Trekking Peru Adventure Tour to Machu Picchu
Photo by WHL.travel/Flickr
Some adventure-loving visitors want to experience Machu Picchu with a more high-energy, adrenaline-filled Peru trekking adventure than to traverse the popular Inca Trail. For those who want an alternative route to Machu Picchu that is both physically challenging and absolutely exhilarating, a Multi Sport Machu Picchu adventure may be just the ticket.
This Adventure Tour to Machu Picchu is a four day, three night mountain biking and trekking excursion that takes you along the back roads from Cusco to Machu Picchu. You will journey through the rugged terrain of the Andean foothills, passing glaciers and snowy peaks, not missing a single breathtaking vista, until you arrive at the nearly 8000 feet high emerald city in the sky, the dazzling Machu Picchu.
The adventure begins in Cusco, where your guide will take you to Malaga Pass, a nearly 14,000 ft peak that affords excellent views of snowy Wakaywillca Peak and Veronica Glacier.
You will gear up for a full day of thrilling mountain biking riding as your guide briefs you on the trail specifications and safety guidelines. Your guide will provide you with all the biking equipment you need. Then, hop on your bike and descend the Andean back road trails.
This is some of the most beautiful backcountry in the region, and you have a good chance of catching sight of exquisite birds like the Crested Quetzal, the sword-billed hummingbird, the scarlet-bellied tanager, the Inca Wren, and the massive Andean Condor. In the evening your guides will set up dinner and the campsite, and you can relax along the Urubamba River.
The following morning begins early with a hike from Santa Maria to the remote village of Santa Teresa. This village is tucked away from the bustle of Inca trail trekkers, and so the hike past coffee, tea, and cacao fields allows you to see a part of Sacred Valley life that is off the well-trod path.
You´ll have lunch in the Pacamayo Valley, and you may way to enjoy a refreshing swim in the Sacsara River. You will continue hiking until you reach your campsite, where you can relax and reward yourself with a delicious meal.
Rising early for another full day of adventure, you'll take a drive to the Quechua town of Lucmabamba, and then enjoy another exhilarating trek to Patallacta, where you'll catch your first dazzling glimpse of Machu Picchu. The tough trekking will pay off when the awe-inspiring emerald mountain comes into view.
After lunch, you´ll take a train to Aguas Calientes, the town at the foot of Machu Picchu, where you´ll be free to explore the local shops and restaurants before turning in for the night at a local hotel. You may also want to relax in the hot baths for which the town is named.
The following morning, you will want to rise early to enjoy the sunrise on the sanctuary of the breathtaking Machu Picchu. One of the few Inca archeological wonders to escape colonial hands, its exquisite stonemasonry is still intact – the mortar-less stones could not fit a razor.
You will want to spend the day exploring the Inca Bridge, the Watchman's Hut, the Temple of the Sun, and the rest of this awe-inspiring mountaintop city before heading back down to Aguas Calientes, for a late lunch and then to take the train back to Cusco.
*Note that this Machu Picchu adventure tour is only available April to December. Trekking level is easy to moderate; good shape is needed. The mountain biking level is easy to moderate downhill; prior downhill riding experience is required. A minimum of 2 passengers and maximum of 15 per group. Departures are every Tuesday; private service on request.

Since at least the early 20th century, situational dynamics have been a core interest in sociological research, as well as some areas of psychology, linguistics, and criminology. Analyzing situational dynamics means to seek understanding of the rules and processes that govern social life on the micro-level, both in everyday encounters and extreme situations. At the core of this perspective lies the question: How do social actions and situational dynamics impact social outcomes?
Picture in Picture, or iRally by CarbonNYC is licensed under CC 2.0
Until the turn of the millennium, studies interested in real-life situational dynamics mostly employed participant observation of social encounters and retrospective interviews of participants to describe and explain a range of social phenomena, making key contributions to their research fields. Since the early 2000s, an ever-increasing amount of visual data is employed to add to both of these established approaches, allowing to observe situational dynamics more reliably and in more detail.
Video Data Analysis (VDA) distills aspects from a number of existing and established approaches (such as visual studies, ethnography, experimental behavioral studies, and multimodal interaction analysis) into a new methodological framework for analyzing situations and working with video data. It also collects insights from a number of applied research studies.
The approach's analytic focus, its methodological forebears, as well as a toolkit of analytic dimensions and procedures have been published in the paper "Video Data Analysis: A Methodological Frame for a Novel Research Trend" (2018, Sociological Methods & Research).

For purveyors of the Gutenbergian craft of typeface design, the folks at House Industries can execute new products at an impressive pace. Fast Company readers know House as the font provocateurs we profiled in our October Masters of Design issue. Less known is the company's clothing side project, done under the House 33 logo. I discovered the line's latest samples when a box appeared on my desk containing a couple of fresh new t-shirts. A quick search of the company's site led to the story behind the story of the Tee's creation. Taking a lesson from the pages of the magazine, House adopted (poached?) the Typographreaks headline and turned it into a defining element of a chic wardrobe addition. We're proud to have passively engaged in the collaboration. Fans of House and/or the story can get their own Tongue Tied Tee here.

A debenture is a bond issued with no collateral. Instead, investors rely upon the general creditworthiness and reputation of the issuing entity to obtain a return of their investment plus interest income. If the issuer of a debenture were to default, investors would be placed at the level of general creditors in terms of their ability to recover funds from the issuer.
Debentures are normally only issued by the largest and most creditworthy of debt issuers, whose ability to repay is beyond question. For example, national governments can issue debentures, because they can raise taxes to pay off their obligations. These issuers use debentures in order to preserve their assets for use as collateral for more senior forms of debt. Further, they may see no need to use their assets as collateral, if investors are willing to pay for sufficiently low interest rates on any debentures issued.
An entity that issues debentures and has lower credit quality can expect to pay a high interest rate, to compensate investors for the increased risk associated with these instruments.
Both corporations and governments make use of debentures. Examples of debentures are Treasury bonds and Treasury bills.

A debenture is also known as an unsecured bond.

Great Article for Teachers to Share With Parents!
A colleague forwarded the following article to me that I think is fabulous for teachers and parents. (Thank you to our fabulous developer Aja!) As a teacher, I would have loved forwarding this article when setting the stage for math as it's taught today. Maybe it will be useful to some of you: BBC News Magazine's Why Parents Can't do Maths Today. Please let me know how you use it, and I'll continue to look for other articles to bring to your attention.
