Research has shown that people who carry a high proportion of body fat at the waist have increased health risks. This is especially true for individuals who have a high percentage of body fat around the waist. People with this condition, known as normal weight obesity, may have the same serious health risks as does someone who is obese. It’s also possible to have a normal BMI while your body fat percentage is high enough to increase health risks. These risks include a higher likelihood of developing diseases and health problems such as heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure. Generally, a BMI that’s more than 30 is associated with higher risks to health. Values between 25 and 30 are considered overweight, and values greater than 30 are considered obese. To find your BMI quickly, you can go to Mayo Clinic’s website at, and enter your height and weight into the site’s online BMI calculator.īMI values that are between 18.5 and 24.9 are considered normal. BMI is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared. Health care providers often assess the impact of a person’s weight on their health using a calculation called the body mass index, or BMI. Taken together, these variables can help give you a more comprehensive view of your health, now and into the future.

After sunset on this day, once the sky is dark, this happens to be the second of two nights when Mars shines most brightly because opposite the Sun, with the earth lodged directly between them. Then, late in the month, another eclipse, this time a Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon, taking place on July 27th, highlights many planets including a newly retrograde Mercury, plus Saturn, and Uranus, and represents an important moment in the Mars retrograde as well. When you act strictly from these, you proceed with the spiritual evolution that is your birthright. You are being encouraged on the part of the universe to let go of blocks and barriers to growth and transformation, to open to deep intuition, very active now, and to find your most sincere set of values that you might aspire to, your actual bottom line intentions for this lifetime. Like the stone soup of legend, this is more a matter of what you bring to the situation than what comes at you. We are all in the soup now, and it is the soup of change. The midmonth Cancer New Moon and Solar Eclipse, taking place on July 12th, is exactly opposite Pluto, bringing this transformationally oriented planetary archetype that has been featured in recent lunations even further into prominence.

![]() “If you request an extreme number of keys and you are not offering Steam customers a comparable deal, or if your sole business is selling Steam Keys and not offering value to Steam customers, your request may be denied and you may lose the privilege to request keys,” a new phrase in the rules reads, implying that in some cases, devs may be prohibited from requesting keys.All imbalanced requests, such as when a game “with a few hundred units of lifetime sales requesting tens of thousands of keys,” can be rejected.Here is what Valve has to say about reviewing Steam key requests: “We typically the level of customer interest on Steam, the total number of keys that have been issued and activated for the game and the additional number that are being requested”.Thus, the company emphasizes its stance on price parity, demanding that developers don’t sell their titles at lower prices than on Steam.We cover news, updates, and reviews for all your favorite mobile games.

If the first few attempts merely mark the card, before ink flows I can almost guarantee that your next attempt (or two) will scrape off the orange coating and then you're buggered - it looks like it's been modified.Ĭhecking the magstrip would surely have worked? If it had gone through a gate, it would not be usable again surely? The shiny orange bit of the card is hard to write on, and that's a fact. In fact, the last time I tried to get one I was told by the woman selling tickets that she was refusing to issue one! Ignore the peak excess below - you don't even want to think about the hassle involved in getting these. Luckily, I got the gateline staff to use their date stamps to put on it.

There may be a follow up letter from the TOC requesting a Statement of your version of the events on that day. I'm sure that with some diplomacy and a will to reach a conclusion that is satisfactory to the TOC, then the matter can be dealt with simply (albeit slowly). But, perhaps unwittingly, they have now caused the claim for a valid ticket to be presented on demand to be escalated. In this specific matter, the OP clearly chose to contest the Penalty Fare at the time of issue - and that is their perogative to contest it.

Is taking a Witness Statement the correct process in the above scenario? Is my understanding of nil-paid PFs incorrect? I fully admit that the day number was a bit shaky - it was filled in hastily, and in my experience pens often doesn't work first time on the glossy card which can cause scratching and the odd erroneous ink mark, so I deliberately went over the first number a couple of times to make sure it was clear and legible.Īny advice? Should I do anything pre-emptive before receiving an "Intention to Prosecute" letter? (If they send one at all.)

I made sure to take a photo of my ticket before letting him confiscate it, and also asked to see his ID and make a note of his name and badge number. was your intention to avoid the fare: no). He then asked the standard questions (do you have a valid ticket: yes where are you travelling to/from.

Instead he pulled out his Witness Statement pad and proceeded to fill it in. I said that was OK, but that I didn't want to pay the PF now, because I would contest it, expecting him to issue a "nil-paid" PF. ![]() He said he was going to issue a PF because he didn't think the carnet ticket was valid. He told me he didn't need to scan it because it looked like it had been changed, and because FCC do not always operate the barriers at their stations, so a check that shows it hasn't been through a barrier doesn't mean it hasn't been used previously. I said that was not true, and asked if he would like to scan it through the machine to check. I showed my carnet and the RPI stated that he thought the ticket had been used before and that the date had "clearly been changed". I was travelling with colleagues from WGC to London (FCC) this afternoon (off peak) with an off peak carnet -correctly, though hastily, filled in at the station- when a uniformed RPI came through the carriage asking for tickets.
