Est1 Task 1

Company X expects all employees to conduct themselves with integrity, professional and responsible actions at all times. An employee’s actions in both personal life and professional life should avoid any situations that (A) could be construed as harmful to the company or its employees or (B) cause negative public reactions that could impact Company X customers or customer relations in adverse ways. You are a Company X representative during work hours and during off work hours.

Health rule challenges continue, even as October 1, 2015 looms. Individual insurance benefits fluctuate as employers scramble to control costs, making it increasingly difficult for hospitals and physicians to stay on top of diverse policy provisions and exclusions. Myriad new regulations and mandates for providers and employers also means more responsibility for paying for health care services falls into the hands of patients. Large medical groups and care facilities rely on next generation revenue cycle management (RCM) solutions and medical billing software to automate their workflow and improve reimbursement rates. However, smaller practices and ancillary service providers may still be in the dark about emerging technology and tools to help them control costs without compromising care.

ACA expanded Medicaid to all Americans below 133% of the federal poverty level from the previous cut-off at 138 percent. The enrollment for Medicaid and CHIP has been simplified. ACA prohibits insurance companies from denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions. This is known as guaranteed issue. ACA also extends dependent coverage for young adults unto the age of 26; so they can stay insured on their parent’s insurance. Individuals upto 400% of the federal poverty level are entitled to tax subsidies in order to assist them in having a health insurance. The subsidy is meant to achieve 2 goals: (1) provide sufficient funds to ensure that people can afford their health insurance premiums and (2) provide a financial incentive for people to choose lower-cost plans. These two goals are opposing, but both are essential. Families who earn more than 400% of the FPL can also purchase health insurance from the exchange, but they receive no subsidy.

The financial health and welfare of Thurston County is dependent upon establishing and maintaining sound budgetary principles and strategies for implementation. These financial principles will govern the development and administration of budgets for all county offices and departments. The County is to prepare fiscal and capital budgets that are to be balanced to be able to forecasted, which are to be consistent with approved strategic goals and capital improvement goals. Each county office and department will periodically seek to use citizen feedback in the development of the internal strategic plans to develop the high priorities for Thurston County government. For each department, resources are made available that will remain aligned with the strategic planning and priorities developed with the public input. Thurston County will create and maintain a reserve for the general fund that is equal to one month of the budget annual expenditures. The reserve will serve the purpose of the financial stabilization account to safeguard against possible revenue shortages

Actually,you are required to comply with two different sections. The top chord must satisfy section 8.6.5.1 and the web components must comply with 8.6.5.2. I understand you’ve placed the sprinkler 2-ft away from the top chord that satisfies Table 8.6.5.1.2. One could argue that these are not structural members so 8.6.5.2.1.4 allows you to ignore them. Although that would meet the letter of the standard, it would not meet the intent. As required by 8.6.5.2.1.3, you need to be located away from the obstruction a minimum distance of 3 times the maximum dimension of the obstruction. That would be 9 in. away from the vertical web components and 6 in. away from the diagonal components. The 2-ft separation dictated by the top chord obviously complies

Slide 14 (11) Recommend Steps for H&R Block to Avoid this Type of Situation in the Future

We are designing an apartment complex per NFPA 13 requirements. Is it permissible to install intermediate temperature sprinklers throughout all spaces (except those that would specifically require a high temp sprinkler due to other sections)? The specific question arises because we have ordinary temperature sprinklers throughout most areas, and intermediate temperature sprinklers in mechanical closets and laundry rooms in the dwelling units. The AHJ states that since the areas are conditioned spaces, that we must use ordinary temperature rated sprinklers. Is that correct?”

Roofs are the most important part of the residencies, massive halls and multi-storied skyscrapers. It protects from the burning heats and the violent rays of sunlight, rain and snowfall. Roofs have various following functionality:-

Confusion can occur in the application of these requirements since Section 905 refers to Section 3313 and then Section 3313 refers back to Section 905. Thus differing interpretations can happen for the temporary standpipe service. Construction sites that have only have one stair access for each floor cannot meet Section 905 of the IFC can be applied as practically allowed during construction. The IFC provides guidance regarding these situations in 3313.1. Where required to have standpipes by Section 905.3.1, not less than one standpipe shall be provided for use during construction. Such standpipes shall be installed prior to construction exceeding 40 feet in height above the lowest level of fire department vehicle access. Such standpipe shall be provided with fire department hose connections at accessible locations adjacent to usable stairways. Such standpipes shall be extended as construction progresses to within one floor of the highest point of construction having secured decking or flooring. If there is only one stair access to the floor, then only one standpipe can be provided. If there are two or more usable stairways, then additional standpipes are provided. When a standpipe is installed, the base

Additionally, sheet metal roofing systems offer very poor insulation and can increase the temperature inside of a home by ten or more degrees. Sheet metal can also produce very loud noises when exposed to heavy rain or hail. Given the problems associated with flat residential roofing systems, many homeowners are turning to flat roof conversion in order to avoid the need for regular roof repair

An elastomeric roof coating provides commercial roofing in Dallas with a monolithic, fully adhered, fluid applied roofing membrane with the flexibility to expand and contract with temperature extremes and building movement without cracking or receiving other damage. In addition, it can be applied over any roofing substrate, and cures to form a completely seamless membrane sealing the entire roof, providing protection and prolonging the roof life. The benefits of an elastomeric “cool roof” are significant for the commercial buildings and its commercial roofing in Dallas.

The question most firefighters have, “Are trusses with no gusset plates as safe as trusses with gusset plates while being exposed to a fire?

We conducted our design review on Friday, May 13, 2016 with our professors and the other teams from our DTC section in Room G205 of the Ford Motor Company Engineering Design Center at 2:30 P.M. We presented the problem we were tasked with solving, our client’s and user’s needs, and our mock-up design, the “Triple Threat”. The Triple Threat is a system that places a structure that holds three rolls of netting, one on the top and one along each side, next to a row of up 20 vehicles (see figure 32, and figure 33 on the following page). The netting is then deployed by rolling a structure that is attached to the ends of the netting over the row of vehicles. In addition to asking for general feedback, we asked those in attendance to address the issues of the potential stability of our product along with the problem of hailstones piling atop the netting.

Elastomeric coatings seal the roof surface providing protection from rain and wind damage. By keeping the commercial roofing in Fort Worth cool, elastomeric coating resists deterioration from the sun and weather that can result in hardening and cracking on other traditional roofs, resulting in a longer lasting, leak proof, and almost maintenance free roof. Roof coatings provide a monolithic (seamless) roof, and when properly installed can solve the problem of leaks on almost any roofing substrate, including metal roofs.
