...1414 × 2121 Caption Tenants are responsible for repairing damage they cause to their units. Alternate Text Group The only thing worse than water gushing out of your dishwasher is paying a hefty bill to have the problem fixed. If you own your home, the repair bill is all yours and there's probably no way out. If you rent, however, a quick phone call to your landlord may be all you need to get the issue fixed. Even in a rental unit, however, certain repairs could fall on you rather than your landlord. If, for instance, one of your guests puts a hole in the wall or if you cause a plumbing issue trying to install a custom shower head, the repair bill might become your responsibility. Major Issues When rental units are being occupied by tenants, landlords must complete the maintenance and repair work necessary to keep the unit livable. Most states, including California, observe what's called the "implied warranty of habitability." This is just a fancy way to say that the landlord must fix any problems that render the apartment unsafe or unlivable. Problems that affect habitability include issues like a broken hot water heater, damaged furnace, gas leak or a severe water leak that created a moldy wall. Your landlord must fix major problems that impact...

...Executive Summary Aqualisa has invested €5.8M in the research and development of its innovative new product, Quartz. Quartz is offered in 2 Models: Quartz Standard Shower and Quartz Pumped Shower. The main advantages of Quartz are: • Installation reduced to a half-day • Straightforward installation • Efficient and reliable water pressure and temperature • “One touch” control Despite initial favourable reviews from customers and plumbers, sales of the Quartz shower has been much lower than expected in the first 4 months. Aqualisa needs a strategy to drive greater sales in order to take advantage of being first to market and must maximize its profit margins before new rivals enter with similar products. The greatest obstacle for Aqualisa to grow market share and sales has been the slow rate of adoption by the conservative channel of plumbers. 73% of customers (value, standard and premium combined) rely on plumbers to recommend shower product and/or brands. In considering the available target markets for Quartz, the recommendation is that Aqualisa focus on engaging plumbers to adopt Quartz by demonstrating the economic value of switching and by offering loyal plumbers a no-risk option of a free product to install. Additionally, plumbers generate demand for products through the trade shop channel which accounts for 46.7% of shower sales. Aqualisa currently has 40% penetration in that channel. As plumbers are the primary customer for trade shops, it will be plumbers...

...Science in my daily life As the Earth completes yet another turn around it axis, the sunlight pours into my bedroom indicating it is time to wake up. In case I miss the hint, my alarm clock set, as usual, for seven o’clock will do the trick. I get up and enter the bathroom, pleasantly warm thanks to the radiator fed with hot water through a series of pipes connected to a central heating boiler. I remain a couple of extra minutes under the shower enjoying the warm water – courtesy again of my boiler -, and finally I am ready to get dressed, opting for a suit cut out of one of these new fabrics that are comfortable, warm and light all at the same time. In the kitchen, I prepare breakfast for four. I turn on the electric kettle to boil water for tea, while a jar of milk heats in the microwave. I turn on the gas oven to warm up the brioche I baked yesterday. It smells delicious and it looks even better, golden and spongy due to the work of yeast. And, while the rest of the family comes down to have breakfast, I turn on the radio to listen to the latest news around the Globe. I have been awaken for just some twenty minutes and science is all around me: the movement of planets, the electricity, the water treatment, the transformation and piping of the gas we use to cook and heat out homes, the chemistry behind new fabrics, the radio waves or the power of the small fungi we use for our pastries. Whatever I do, whatever I see, science is at the heart of everything. And the day...

...as to what results it would come up with for me. To state that I was disappointed is an understatement. As you, the reader of this paper, do not know me personally, you do not know my life experiences, what I have been taught or what I have learned from my teachers, mentors, coaches, and most importantly my father. Neither does the Career Plan test. Therefore, the results should be based on my answers, which would be derived from my own personal learning and experiences. Based on this, I would have thought that the Career Plan would have made choices based on my 51 years of life. It did not. I have always enjoyed working with my hands. My father was an electrician. He was also very talented with other trades, such as pipe fitting, plumbing, and just about everything related to manual labor. To say that he taught me a lot is an understatement. I learned how to fill fire extinguishers at the age of 8. I also learned basic electrical wiring and was able to do complex motor control by the time I was 18. By the time I was 21, I was a certified welder in 4 different welding processes. Most recently, I built an electrical contracting business with 15 employees, and over $2 million dollars in yearly sales. My point is that I do very well with “hands-on” work. When my Career Interest Profile stated that I am “Realistic, Enterprising, and Social” I began reading the report with great interest. Imagine my disappointment when I further read that my career matches were a “Barista”,...

...saFrom: Milena Gueorguieva To: Professor Malaviya – Marketing Management Case: Aqualisa ------------------------------------------------- Date: December 2, 2010 Main Problem: Aqualisa creates a new breakthrough shower- the Quartz. The product has significant improvements when compared with the other existing products on the market, such as: * Efficient and reliable water pressure and temperature * One touch control on the wall * Light signaling the right temperature is achieved etc * Installation of the Quartz was about half a day (vs. 2 days for other showers) Survey shows that consumers and plumbers loved the product. However, initial sales are low, mainly due to low consumer awareness and plumbers’ reluctance to new products. Where does the problem lie in the funnel? Consumers are uninformed about showers, with little understanding of the products options. Thus, plumbers have a greater influence when selecting the brand, as only in 27% of the times consumers select type and brand of the shower, otherwise plumbers influence on the purchase. Lack of knowledge leads to lack of brand awareness. Options: 1. Targeting consumers directly: -Expensive to have a proper ad campaign (costs 3 to 4 M Euro) - The consumers decide only 27% of the time (ex 4) +Consumers could become more brand aware +Easier to reach consumers than plumbers 2. Targeting Do-It- Yourselfers -Lower-end part of the market thus will be price conscious, have...

...Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Green Project Reserve Business Case Examples Water Efficiency Summary Replacement of 24,000 feet of pre-1930s lead-jointed cast iron (CI) distribution pipe with new 8-inch to 16-inch ductile • iron ( DI ) pipe to eliminate the loss of 115 million gallons of water per year ( MGY ), equal to 10% of total production and 52% of total system water loss. SRF loan amount = $2,500,000 • Water saving (green) portion of loan = 100% • Annual water savings = 115 million gallons ( MG ) • Background The water distribution system has approximately 80 miles of CI and DI distribution pipe ranging from 6 to 16 inches • in diameter. The water system is 100% metered and includes a master meter (or production meter) at the source water supply (after treatment). As par t of a water loss management plan, • 1 the water utility calibrates all water meters every 5 years and conducts a leak detection survey every 2 years. Over the past 5 years the utility performed a physical condition assessment of 1% of the distribution pipes. The pipes were selected for assessment based on historic leak detection survey data. Based on the assessment of 1% of the pipe, the utility concluded that the pre-1930s distribution pipe is in the o poorest condition, has incurred the most leaks, and is most critical to replace. Pre-1930s pipe accounts for 17% (13.6 miles) of the 80 miles of distribution pipe. This project will replace...

...The proper way to build a house By Jeremiah Archambault Homes today is what is needed in everyone’s existence, and range from being as simple as a tent or shelter of branches and leaves, and all the way up to a multi-story palace with several bedroom and bathrooms to your basic single story home. Whatever the structure may be it provides shelter and simplifies one’s life. Here are the proper steps involved to successfully construct a home. Selecting a location for your house has several items to consider before the construction begins. You should consider the climate, ground stability, availability of utilities, community infrastructure, and available building materials. When looking at the climate of the site one needs to make sure they are not in a flood plain, and also taking in to consideration of the temperature that the house will be built in whether it is intense heat to frigid cold. Ground stability is making sure that the soil is suitable. If the soil is mucky, shifting sand or other unstable earth will likely fall over a short period of time unless they are not built on special foundations or pilings. The availability of utilities is also important if you intend to have power, potable water, telephone and other conveniences, make sure these utility providers offer them at the location. The community infrastructure is also important to look at. Make sure good quality schools are available. Check to see if you are in a police jurisdiction to protect you from crime...

...Theatre 110 Brad Reissig 11/11/10 Response paper of Urinetown I really enjoyed watching the Urinetown. The story was very unique and the characters were unique too. It began with an Officer Lockstock and Little Sally. I felt that Officer Lockstock is kind of narrator in this show. He said some kind of background of the place and also felt friendly and welcome to audience. As the result of a terrible water shortage, there are no more private toilets and all restroom activities are handled through a private corporation, the Urine Good Company. To control water consumption, people have to pay to use public toilets. It is illegal to pee in public area but some people don’t have money to use toilet, and if they try to pee, get caught by one of the officer, they are under arrest. Just this story, made me think of The Water War in Bolivia. The reason what cause of the conflicts is because the privatization of the public service of drinking water in Cochabamba and the authorization to raise tariffs. It was modified substantially the law of drinking water and sanitary sewer so even using rain was also illegal to people. Just like Urinetown, it is similar problem but made not too serious like water problem but pee. It was very new and unique to me. I can easily define the characters’ job just by looking at their clothes. Most of people were wearing dirty and shabby clothes. Rich people were wearing shiny and colorful suit with dress shoes. They also talk...
