Nowadays, many people have become aware of the fact that disasters may occur at any time and anywhere. Even if you are staying in an area with a pleasant climate and weather conditions which is away from the sea-coast, that has not experienced any disaster in the past few years; then also there is some probability of disaster occurrence. From our end, we are bounded by the ways of nature, so we can’t avoid any disaster, but we can be well prepared to face them so that the severities of their causes are reduced significantly.

As a remedy, many insurance companies have come up with disaster relief schemes to help the victims financially in restoration. These schemes are a boon to many who live in disaster-prone areas, every year, more than hundred-thousands of disaster claims are made. Alas! A few of them remain unsettled due to the terms and conditions of the policy or lack of documentation and evidence from the Client’s end. Many legal issues are also raised by insurance companies, reporting false claims made by some consumers. That’s why we advise both the ends to be vigilant enough to read all the terms and conditions mentioned in the documents carefully before closing the deal.

For a disaster victim, it is very common to become nervous. Still, you must try your best to behave as a responsible individual and try to be strong mentally and collect proper evidence of the disaster so that you can make insurance claims, later. If you are inexperienced, you can always approach your restoration company for getting the best assistance in settling insurance claims. Chrome water damage experts from water damage restoration Austin, TX, provides the most prompt restoration service, they have an incredible record in settling insurance claims.

Some steps that you must follow while dealing with insurance companies:

1. Ensure the safety of human lives

First of all, you must deal with the outstanding danger; it may be a flood, a fire, an earthquake or any other disaster. If the disaster is very crucial, immediately evacuate the place, with your necessary belongings and documents. If you are not able to manage the disaster site, immediately call for a disaster restoration company. When the situation is under control, that is, all the human lives and the subjected properties are safe, you can begin the procedure of making the insurance claim.

2. Contact the insurance company

When the life-threatening phase of the disaster is over, and the situation is somewhat better, inspect the site yourself or refer the report generated by the restoration company and inform your insurance company about the sorrowful incident. Many a time, the insurance company sends a team of experts to inspect the disaster site and severity for settling the claims later, this ensures that your request is authentic and shifts your claim on a higher priority. If they don’t provide on-site services, call them personally and tell them every critical detail about the incident and remind them of the policy coverage.

3. Assemble and manage evidence

Any claim appears to be unauthentic without the support of evidence. If you want to get a decent amount from your insurance company, then the evidence produced should be detailed and well-documented. You can take photographs of the disaster site before cleaning is done. From the first expense only, maintain a proper record of the amount spent by you, file the bills also, so that your claim looks verified. If a restoration contractor is the incharge of the site, then your job is already done, you simply need to ask them for the report of the incident, they are well aware of the format.

4. Set up a meeting with the insurance provider

You must meet your insurance agent as well as the officer-in-charge of your claim so that all the concerned issues are clarified; there should be complete transparency between the three parties. You can even include the on-site inspector. Generally, the insurance companies only set up the discussion, but if they seem to be inactive, you may take the lead.

Don’t go for the meeting without the relevant documents, like the photographs taken post-disaster, the receipts from the restoration company, the report from the restoration company, the treaty of your insurance claim. Try to approach the insurance office as soon as possible, preferably within 48 hours of the disaster. Discuss every expense with the officer, even the post-disaster cleaning expenses, the officer will tell you the coverage that are included in your insurance policy. You need to be vigilant throughout, when you purchase the policy, be very clear with the coverage that you need and the coverage that policy offers. If any coverage is missing, then and there only you must ask your insurance provider to add it.

5. Be patient during the process

The insurance companies only credit the amount, after they have carried out a thorough inspection of the disaster site and the victim. They even cross-check the bills with the restoration provider or individual vendors. This process is time consuming and sometimes even takes more than six months. From your side, you must take specific care that are all the documents that you attached are original and in the proper format. However, there is a deadline in which they will credit your reimbursement amount, till then, you must be patient and co-operate with the insurance company pleasantly.

We understand that for an inexperienced homeowner or business person, this entire process of making an insurance claim is crumble some and time-consuming. That’s why we advise you to hire a restoration company; they even help you in settling insurance claims. With their expertise, they do the documentation correctly, and their reputation authorizes your request.

It is observed that the claims made through a restoration company are settled earlier than individual claims. This is because of the quality of the paper-work.

All you need to Know about Classic Wow Gold and Gaming Benefits of It

September 1, 2020

The excellent news for WoW fans around the world is that your favorite game is here again. The new WoW Classic is available on both Mac and Windows, and if you want to have a full experience, you need to have an existing subscription. If you are an experienced fan, and you already have a subscription, then you don’ have to worry since it is active. If you are a new player, the good thing is that getting a subscription is not that difficult, and you don’t need the latest computer to play this game, and you can find everything you need to start at ssegold.com.

In short, World of Warcraft Classic is the same game as in 2006, two years after the game was published, and before the release of the first full expansion pack, The Burning Crusade. That is the point (Patch 1.12: Drums of War) where the original World of Warcraft, a pre-expansion add-on, was most effective, as it had several years of whipping bugs and improving gameplay below its belt. However, back then, it was a much more difficult, slower game, encouraging teamwork to take on difficult enemies rather than encouraging today’s solo-friendly play.

Inside this excellent game, there was a need for in-game currency. This need was satisfied with WoW Classic gold. You need gold to survive in the game, but also to buy everything you need to make your life easier. One of the ways to earn gold is to buy it with real money, but the other one is much more fun and cheaper, and for that, you will need a high level of character. To earn gold in-game, first, you need a fully leveled hero because then you will stop gaining XP and start earning game gold for finished quests.

There are a few ways of buying gold for real money, and you need to be sure that you are making a safe transaction. One of them is to use the mailbox delivery. That is the way that old gamers prefer, but you should be sure that you are delivering the right character name, and you can expect a slight delay. You should give your character name during checkout and wait for the money in the game.

It may sound a little tricky, but the best thing is that this is one of the most secure ways, and you don’t need to be online and wait. The second way is the auction house, which is a part of the game. The procedure is simple, as you should only tell the item name that you want and wait for them to add it to your character name. There is a fee you need to pay, so be sure that you are getting enough for you, and the charge, and for example, if you want to buy an item worth 150g, you will pay a value equal to 157,5g.

The Auction house also represents a very reliable way of buying since every buyer is anonymous. The third way is face to face buying, and that means that you should be online when the seller is sending you your gold. Since this is the fastest way, a lot of people prefer that type of transaction. Bear in mind that for you to get gold like this, you would have to meet the seller in Azeroth, so you could “whisper” to each other. So in this way, you already have to have a rare item, or at least “green” which someone wants to purchase for gold from you.

As in real life, in Azeroth, you should also be wary and careful. Some players inside the game might want to trick you if you are new, sell you an item that is worth less than you might think, or buy an item from you that is worth much more than you realize. I recommend making some reliable and trustworthy friends inside the WoW community and inform yourself about the value of variant items. You could say that the rules of common sense from the real-world apply here as well. If an offer is just too good, maybe you need to think twice as hard about it.

There are also many benefits of buying WoW gold since that is a currency you need if you want to be a top player. One of them is upgrading your weapon to defeat your enemies easier since upgrade gives a higher damage power or an increase in some other stats. Also, you could potentially get yourself some flasks or other consumables, which are often necessary for more dangerous raids and can give you the edge you need in combat. Of course, one should never forget the role play and swag factor since with gold you can change your appearance in numerous ways, and you could buy cool looking items for your house or even that epic looking mount.

Since its release in 2004, World of Warcraft was the first thing that would cross the gamers’ mind when someone mentions MMORPG games. It speaks volumes that even 16 years later, WoW is as dominant in the gaming world. So many real players are playing the game that the world of Azeroth has developed its real-live economy, with auctions, in-game currencies, and laws of supply and demand. Probably the best characteristic, and maybe the most addictive thing that is the outcome of that, is that you can earn your subscriptions.

Since you can earn gold in-game, and you can purchase subscriptions with gold, if you are a good enough player, you can continue to play the game with only the initial real-life money you have spent. So not only that gold can get you better equipment, fancy armors that will make all your friends jealous if you like playing the game and play it well, and long enough, you can earn enough gold to proceed to play as long as you want and enjoy this excellent game.

How Technology Solves Human Problems

Maybe the strangest thing about technology is that is solves some very human problems, like being too hot or cold, not knowing how to get from point A to point B, being sick, making payments for everyday items, and much more. The infrastructure of our modern world took plenty of years to create, so it’s no wonder that it does so much for us. What are some of the most basic needs we have, and how has tech come to our rescue? Here are the most central factors of human life that call for scientific, high-tech solutions?

Online Ordering of Goods and Services

The beauty of purchasing things online is that you can do everything from the privacy of our home or smartphone screen. You have the ability to peruse as many items as you like without being hounded by salespeople, can compare prices, read reviews, and hunt for coupons before checking out. The uniquely human task of shopping for necessary supplies, food, and medicine has been totally transformed by the web-based experience.

For example, all it takes to order something like a marijuana subscription box, one of the year’s hottest gift items, is to visit a site like Nugg Club, make a selection from multiple varieties, and place an order. Another advantage of ordering from a PC is the ability to purchase one of a kind, and hard to find items that are not available in retail stores. Marijuana subscription boxes are a case in point. You can’t walk into a brick and mortar store and get one. Instead, you need to find a website that offers them and get it there.

Programmable Thermostats

Source: A Path To Technological Satisfaction

Being uncomfortably hot or cold is something that has plagued mankind for thousands, perhaps millions of years. In the 2024s, all it takes is a $15 programmable thermostat to solve this age-old dilemma. The beauty of these little devices is that they appear so simple, but they do dozens of complex tasks that go a long way toward making a home comfortable. Their makers tout them as energy-saving units, and they certainly live up to that claim.

But even more than cutting household utility bills, smart thermostats are wondrous gadgets that can help our HVAC systems create exactly as much heat or coolness as we need at a given moment. Their small but agile memories are capable enough to hold data that tells the AC or heating unit to come on and go off with scientific precision. When it comes to low-priced, powerful gadgetry that makes any house comfortable and livable, you can’t go wrong with a smart thermostat.

GPS Devices and Traffic Apps

Whether you use a stand-alone GPS device or download one of the smart apps to your phone that does virtually the same job, there’s never been a better way to navigate busy urban areas, interstate highways, or rural roads that are infamous for lacking proper signage. Traffic apps are one of the “older” travel programs for city-dwellers who need help figuring out the ebb and flow of rush-hour on a given work day. For travelers and tourists, GPS and traffic tech are true lifesavers. Before the advent of this type of techno-guidance, anyone who was unfamiliar with a city’s terrain had to wrangle with books of paper maps and frustrating fold-out roadmaps that were endlessly confusing and always seemed to be outdated.

Virtual Medical Checkups

Getting help when faced with illness is a problem that’s been with humans as long as there have been humans. Many primary care physicians now offer video-conference check-ups, during which they can go through a list of questions and assess your general level of health. If the doctor feels the need for more information. you might be instructed to visit a clinic for a blood test or to have your vital signs read. Other than that, the medical community is veering into the universe of what was once called tele-health.

Contactless Payment Methods

The COVID pandemic pushed the development of contactless payments, but the machines and the tech have been around for at least a decade. If you shop at a store where you can pay by just waving a card over a reader, then you’ve already done a contactless transaction. When COVID began to spread, retailers who were still operating wanted to minimize human to human contact, so they ramped up their orders for contactless card-reading machines. Not only do the devices make transactions easier for customers, they also protect store personnel from having to accept currency and handle cards that are handed to them. That means less of a chance for viral transmission.

Vehicle Diagnostic

A decade ago, if you wanted to know what was wrong with your vehicle, you had to visit a mechanic and pay for a round of diagnostic testing. Now, with the help of a free app for your phone and a $6 Bluetooth-enabled device that plugs into your car under-dash, you can find out not only what’s wrong with your vehicle, but approximately how much it will cost to have it fixed, where to go for service, and how long the repairs will take. Yes, you still need to visit the shop, but you’ll go there armed with all the information you need to order specific repairs. Plus, you’ll already know the ballpark amounts for what the final bill will be.

Tax Software

Few normal people enjoy tallying up what they owe to the taxing authorities. Every April since 1913, U.S. citizens have been subject to income tax and had to send a written return to the IRS. For more than 20 years, makers of tax software have been perfecting their products. Finally, in the last few years, consumers have had access to inexpensive, easy to use tax applications that get the job done quickly and accurately. And, if you want the peace of mind that goes with professional preparation, you can save a few bucks by using the app first, and then asking a CPA or tax specialist double-check your work. Filing electronically has become commonplace, but taxpayers still need to prepare returns and make sure everything gets transmitted correctly.

How to Inspect Your Roof?

Roof damage is one of the most painful issues, as a sudden leakage from the roof may damage the drywall, the walls, the paint and the entire texture of the house. If roof damage is followed by heavy rainfall or snowstorm, it may lead to water damage issues. The accumulate water will again cause multiple problems. Many times roof damage is also accompanied by mould and mildew formation that causes respiratory disorders and other infections to the people who are exposed to it.

Sudden roof collapse may cause severe property damage and is dangerous for human lives; also, the debris and shingles may cause injuries to the brain and other delicate organs. Many of us even live in houses that have been constructed around 50 years ago, it is not a sin to live in old houses, but it is a fault to ignore the maintenance demands of such structures. The rocks and the materials used have an age and a limited tensile strength; such old structures have experienced strenuous climatic changes that cause their depreciation and make them subjected to damage.

To avoid any sudden impact of this depreciation, we must inspect the property frequently and make a note of the repair. As soon as, we encounter any issue, we must quickly arrange for its restoration. The roof has exposed the maximum to the climatic changes and rainfall that too perpendicularly, making it more vulnerable to damages. Hence, the roof must be given extra attention, and roof inspection must be carried out more often. You can carry regular inspections yourself, but there are many slight damages that may be ignored by you due to lack of experience. Hence, a profession roof inspection should also be arranged regularly. Companies like the Pisgah roofingandrestoration.com provides commendable roof inspection services as the technicians are well skilled and experienced.

Some tips for inspecting roof:

1. Start with the Gutter inspection

Carefully inspect every gutter present on your roof. Always ask your contractor for a report of the gutter inspection. A contractor must be familiar with how the gutters are attached. If gutters have linked the drip edges, you cannot replace them. If you need an installation of a new drip edge, then the gutter guard, if any, needs to be removed. This incurs overhead costs and time. The inspection should be extended to the structure present below the gutters to see the materials that were used for the initial construction of the roof. Companies such as coastlinefacilities.co.uk provide a full gutter inspection service as well as gutter clearing. They will provide a full inspection report on request.

2. Move to Roof Flashings

It is necessary to know the state and the type of the flashing, noting these minute details are impossible if one doesn’t climb up the roof; if the inspection report indicates these flashings will have to be replaced. A proper flashing makes the roof durable; if the flashings are not inspected initially, they will add to the restoration costs eventually and unexpectedly. If the flashings are not in place, they serve as the entrance for water. It appears to be a small and insignificant aspect, but if not maintained properly, it may cause critical under surface damages.

3. Check the Skylights

The maximum average lifespan of a skylight is twenty years. Mostly, skylights have to be replaced in every five or ten years. If you have a roof replacement, it is advised to get the skylights also replaced, so that you don’t need to organize another restoration, especially for the skylights. You can always include the replacement of skylights to your checklist, to avoid additional expenses of replacing the skylights separately.

4. A thorough observation of the Soil Stacks

Keenly observe the soil stacks for any cracks or ruptures. Similar to flashings, they are also minute, yet essential for the security of the roof. Always go for soil stacks that are made up of reliable and suitable materials like Silicon, never opt for cheap boot alternatives. Make a note of the damages around the soil stack also. If the solid stack gets damaged, you will have to spend a lot of time for its re-installation.

5. Check the Chimney

The chimney is also an important structure that cannot be examined without climbing the roof. A chimney has a saddle or cricket, to divert water away from it, to protect precipitation from getting inside it, during heavy rainfall or snowstorms. We must not ignore the chimney damages as any damage there will affect the roof and causes leakage in our home. Don’t go for any cheap temporary alternatives, as these may lead to sudden damage and you will regret your carelessness later.

6. Closely examine the Attic

The Attic should have a proper ventilation mechanism; else the excess heat will pass through it. The woods get rotten over time; they need to be replaced regularly. During winter, this heat leads to the melting of ice deposited on the roof and eventually causes water damage.

To ensure that you don’t forget anything, go through the checklist given below:

Check that the shingles do not have any curls and blisters. There should be no instances of missing or lose shingles.
There should be no rust deposits on the flashing.
The gutter system is working well.
No debris should be present.
Vent stacks are functional.
There are no obsolete rubber boots around the vent pipes.
No branches have started growing towards your roof.
The supporting materials like wood and timbers should be carefully examined for pests or termites actions.
The chimney caps and motor parts are in the proper place. (So that you need to climb up the roof again.)
Worn out antennas, solar panels and satellite dishes are discarded, and the present ones are properly connected.
There are no colonies of bacterial and fungal micro-organisms like mosses, lichens, moulds, mildews or any other decaying organism.

If you don’t want to experience any sudden consequences of roof damage, then you must regularly arrange for roof inspections. If you are not confident and experienced, don’t worry! Asheville Roofing provides a thorough roof inspection at a very affordable price and gives you a detailed report of the study of damages and the related expenses. Your safety, Asheville Roofing’s priority!

Asbestos is used in the construction of buildings because of its mechanical strength and insulation properties. It is not harmful as long as it remains intact, but when it breaks or crumbles, asbestos fibers spread in the air and they can cause harmful effects. These fibers should be removed as soon as possible to avoid any health hazards. In America, the use of asbestos has been reduced but not completely stopped.

Here, you will find all the necessary things you should know about the removal of it from your environment.

What is Asbestos

Asbestos, also known as “magic mineral” because of its beneficial applications in the construction and clothing industry. Asbestos has many types, it may be friable and non-friable. Besides its benefits, it is among the major and lethal airborne contaminants.

When remained untouched it is harmless, but when it is disturbed it can break or crumble easily, small fibers in it can be released in the air to corrupt it. These fibers can build up in your body over a long period and you may not find it until its too late. Therefore, even a small quantity of asbestos can cause harmful effects. According to an estimate, about 10,000 people die annually due to asbestos-related diseases.

The exposure to this can be very lethal and long-term exposure can lead to severe health conditions especially respiratory disorders, mesothelioma cancer, lung cancer, pleural plaque and can even cause death. These microscopic fibers cannot be seen from the naked eye and anybody can inhale or ingest them without realizing it.

It can act as a silent killer that’s why one must take substantial measures to eliminate it from the air. That’s why it is advisable to contact a professional to detect the presence of asbestos before building or renovating your house.

Precautions

If you suspect asbestos contamination at your place you should take the following precautions :

Do not touch any suspected contaminated material.
Keep the kids away from that area and limit the activities in the contaminated area.
Call a certified asbestos removal company like KD Asbestos for help. You can find one by searching Asbestos testing and removal companies near me or if you are near Vancouver area you can contact companies such as asbestosremovalanddemovancouver.com for help.
Do not sweep or vacuum suspected asbestos debris.

Testing of Asbestos:

Such testing is vital for your own and your family or employees’ safety. Asbestos cannot be easily detected because it can not be seen from the naked eye and it does not have any smell. That’s why you need to call a certified abatement company because only professionals can identify any type of asbestos.

A professional removal company will do thorough testing of the suspected areas. Samples must be drawn from every possible place for testing, every layer of roof, drywalls, and plasters is analyzed. Specialized tools, equipment, and techniques are used to collect and test the samples.

While performin these tests, a minimum of two samples must be taken. One sample is collected from the area of concern and the second sample is collected from outside or in the “controlled environment”. If there are multiple suspected areas then multiple samples are collected.

Once samples are collected they are transferred to the laboratory for testing. Samples are tested using special procedures and then results are drawn. After testing is completed, a report is provided which inform about the degree of asbestos in the air as

Non-elevated
Moderate
Elevated

Removal of asbestos:

Important things to consider before initiating the procedure:

The person for the abatement process must be a licensed abatement contractor and have the right equipment for the task.
If a non-licensed person is allowed to do the removal process, it may increase the health risk.
Most of the insurance companies will not take responsibility for any work regarding asbestos. It is important to be aware that all the costs of the procedure must be paid by house or industry owner.

The asbestos abatement process requires specialized gadgets. A sealed chamber is created by a polyethylene sheet at the removal area and negative pressure is applied to it. Respirators and protective suits must be equipped.

Occupants are not allowed to enter the area during the abatement process. Special vacuum cleaners are used which are designed for asbestos contaminants. HEPA filters are the key tool in the removal of it.

HEPA filters

HEPA filters stand for (High-efficiency particulate air filters), they are specialized mechanical filter designed to sterilize air by eliminating the airborne contaminants. HEPA air purifier and HEPA vacuum cleaners are used by professional companies for the removal of hazardous asbestos, molds, etc. to provide their costumers with pure air to breathe in. A sheet of fiber is installed in it which is capable of capturing asbestos contaminants. These fibers are solid particles that vary in size between 0.7 and 90 microns, while HEPA air filters can filter particles above and below 0.3 microns.

HEPA filter vs Asbestos

It is possible that asbestos is coming from an open-source such as a deteriorating wall or piping insulation, cracked ceiling, drywall joint compound, or some other source. Because HEPA air filters are designed to be absolutely effective only in the absence of any open sources of particle generation, it is impossible to completely cleanse the air before the contaminated area has been detected and handled masterly by trained and experienced professional.

Until the it has been remediated, the best you can hope for with a HEPA air filter is a minor reduction in the net density of fibers in the air by achieving equilibrium between particle production and eradication. That’s why it is important to identify and eliminate the source of asbestos first and then remove it present in the air.

Disposal of asbestos

It should be disposed of as indicated in the law to assure the safety of the environment and inhibit further contamination. These materials cannot be disposed of in normal dust bins and dumping sites. They should be properly packed in specific packaging and labeled before disposal at the allocated site. All the precautionary measures should be taken for the safe disposal of asbestos.

Must-have Features in a Perfect Learning Management System (LMS)

When it comes to selecting the best Learning Management System (LMS) for your organization, it is easy to get flummoxed by the number of considerations that you need to make. The following article by Gyrus Systems will provide a check-list of different features that you should look out for, before purchasing the LMS. The following is the list of such Learning Management System features:

Functionality

There may not be a perfect LMS, but there could be one that could be perfect for your requirements. Such an LMS would need to have all the functionalities that you require to implement your T&D activities as planned. Also, the LMS should be scalable, as if the LMS cannot support your organization as it grows, it would not be a long-term solution to address your T&D needs.

Course Design

Trainers may want to impart training to intended trainees through different types of sessions (such as instructor-led live training, pre-recorded lectures, presentations with voiceover, and so on). An LMS should provide the ability to create customized course designs with enough customizable built-in templates. You can check out the list of best courses online on eduardklein.com.

Personalized Learning Paths

No two learners are the same. Different learners would want to take the same set of courses in a different order, may want to focus on some topics more than others, and so on. A Training Management System should be able to support learners by providing the option to create personalized learning paths so that they can take their assigned learning modules in the way they wish to, so as to maximize effectiveness.

Assignments for Knowledge Retention

When it comes to conducting training exercises, it is essential for trainers to determine how well their target audience i.e. trainees have assimilated the information. Therefore, an LMS should offer the feature by which differently designed tests could be administered.

Accessibility of Content

These days, employees prefer to use their own devices for working (BOYD). Because different employees have different preferred devices, they should be able to access the courses administered over an LMS on different devices (Laptops, tablets, smartphones) which would have different operating systems (Windows, Android, Mac). An LMS should be compatible with different operating systems and devices so as to enable employees to take training modules at any time, from anywhere.

Reporting and Analytics

It is essential for trainers to be able to track the progress of different employees on an individual level on different training programs. Also, managers would be interested in knowing the effectiveness of the learning modules that team members under them are taking. Therefore, an LMS needs to incorporate reporting and analytics features that would allow for easy monitoring of such aspects on a dashboard. In fact, this would be one of the most vital features of the Learning Management System that you could have.

Security and Privacy

An LMS that is going to be used by employees located in different geographies would need to have an online mode of operation. These days, increasingly, LMS products are based on cloud to reduce the necessity to maintain physical data storage devices. In addition, this would also have a lot of employee data and other confidential company information. It is therefore essential that the LMS is highly secure and has privacy controls and password-protected logins.

Access Control

Not everyone in the company needs to/should have access to all the information. When implementing such a system, you need to be able to have control over who can access what learning modules, and so on. Therefore, an LMS should enable administrators to control access to different learning modules in an easy manner.

Ease of Communication and Collaboration

In order to improve retention and to build a team-spirit, it is essential to facilitate peer-to-peer interaction when it comes to undertaking training. Also, an LMS should be able to facilitate easy communication between trainers and trainees for easy resolution of doubts. Therefore, the LMS needs to include features such as group discussion boards, learning events, and chat interface, and so on.

Ease of Data Migration

You might already have a lot of training content on physical storage devices or on legacy platforms. A system that you plan to invest in should facilitate the easy migration of such data from old systems on to the new software.

Built-in Motivation Tools

Business enterprises recruit people who are past the age where they would be enthusiastic to learn out of natural curiosity. As a result, the company LMS should offer features such as gamification and also have provision to conduct online contests so as to engage employees and motivate them to participate in the training exercise. A study conducted by Traci Sitzmann, faculty at the University of Colorado at Denver, found that when gamification principles were incorporated within the training exercise, factual knowledge level, skill-based knowledge level, and retention of information increased by 11%, 14%, and 9% respectively.

Push Notifications and Reminders

It is important that intended trainees are notified automatically when they are assigned new courses. Also, they should get periodic reminders regarding the courses that they are required to take within a specific time-frame. To enable the same, this system should incorporate the features of push notifications and automated reminders so that after assigning courses, trainers need not individually call trainees to inform them about the assignment of new course modules.

Ease of Use

Any product, technical or otherwise, needs to be easy to use for the end-user, and an LMS is no exception to it. A Brandon Hall Group study determined that almost half of American companies that use LMSs are looking to change their system. Among the ones who wanted to make this change, 86% said that the reason for their decision was a complicated interface. There is no point in having an LMS with fascinating features but a non-intuitive UI that is cumbersome to use. The system should be easy to navigate and customize as per the organizational needs.

E-Commerce features

These days, there are companies that offer different courses to people beyond their existing employees. Offering such courses which are oftentimes subscription-based could help companies have an additional revenue channel. To facilitate this, it should incorporate features such as payment gateways and e-cart and should allow the company to market different courses within the platform.

Brand Integration

Branding a company’s systems is an important tool for marketing to the company’s internal customers (i.e. employees). Therefore, an LMS should allow integration of the brand aspects within itself, such as the business logo, layout, color scheme, and so on. This is also important if you plan to design courses that you plan to allow open access to people outside the organization as well.

It is essential that the LMS that you plan to opt for has all the above features so as to be a one-stop solution for all your T&D requirements. Not only would all the above features of LMS significantly streamline the management of training activities, but it would also ensure that employees participate in such activities far more enthusiastically than before.

Choosing your Hair Transplant Doctor

As you may have guessed, choosing any kind of doctor no matter your desired procedure or operation is an important decision. As such, you have to approach it with great care and perform a lot of research beforehand. While you are deciding on a doctor for your hair transplant, it would be a smart idea to consider the following things:

1. Experience

Experience is crucial in the world of medicine as experienced doctors have seen a lot more cases and performed numerous procedures during their decades in the business. A young doctor can never seem as trustworthy as their experienced colleague with between five to ten years in the field. It does not have to mean that new doctors are bad, on the contrary. They could be more proficient in the modern medicinal practices that their older peers, but people generally dislike the idea of someone fresh out of med school treating them.

If experience is what you value in your doctor, go ahead and visit their website in search of proof of their prior success. Most doctors offer their resumes for anyone willing to review them, where you can check their studies, specializations, expertise, and their whole work history. Judging by this information alone, you will be able to determine if that particular doctor is the right candidate you perform your hair transplant.

2. Patient Satisfaction

Directly in line with the experience of a hair transplant practitioner is the satisfaction of the patients they have treated in the past. Like you would navigate the web in search of the doctor’s experience, you can look for reviews and recommendations by the patients who have had the same procedure you are looking to undergo. If you have already narrowed down a few doctors you deemed worthy of transplanting hair onto your head, make sure to read what other patients have to say about them.

In the reviews, look for anything and everything that will potentially make you like the doctor and their way of doing things. This ranges from the doctor’s behavior towards patients, the staff that helps him, the look, feel, hygiene, and state of their office, as well as the price of the procedure. If something feels off for you, you can always move on and look for another doctor. Similarly to this, if the doctor has largely negative reviews, and if their previous patients were not satisfied with the service, do not risk it as the same uncomfortable experience may be in store for you.

3. Contribution to Science and Research

The best doctors in their respective fields are also among the best scientists and researchers in their fields of study. Medicine, science, and research go hand in hand, as there is no one without the other two. There is no person to study the overall field and contribute to it with their expertise than the actual specialists working in it. This is why all the best doctors in the world also do a lot of science work on the side, contributing to the general improvement of their area of medicine with every case and every patient they treat.

If you wish to locate the best hair transplant doctor in Turkey, do some more research and ask around for the one who is a well-known scientist or researcher too. If a doctor has worked tirelessly to make his techniques and methods more successful and comfortable and less invasive, it is obvious they care much more about their job and the well-being of their patients that doctors who simply perform the same procedure all the time. You deserve the best doctor there is, so try to find some research and scientific papers with the name of your chosen doctor attached to them. Evidence as clear as this is enough to guarantee that the doctor is the real deal and that they are going to approach your case with full attention, care, and professionalism.

Final Advice

As you can see, once it is dissected like this, it does not seem very hard to pick the right hair transplant doctor in Turkey. From what you read it could be said that it all comes down to the right amount of research, with three key things in mind: the experience of the doctor, their track record and patient satisfaction, and their general contribution to the field. You may realize that if a doctor has a strong presence in one of these, chances are they will excel in the other two. And you should not settle for anything else.

Finally, it goes without saying that other factors may influence your decision, some of which include the amount of time you might have to wait for the procedure, the total cost of the procedure with all the checkups, tests, and consultations, and the distance in Turkey you are willing to cover to get to your doctor’s office. However, the first three factors are far more important in choosing any kind of doctor, and they, therefore, apply to hair transplantations as well. All that is left for you is to hop online and look for the best hair transplant office that employs the best available doctor to treat you!
