I know I will get negative answers after I say that the officer did what he had to do to uphold the law. Was a punch to the face to a 17 year old girls ruff? Yes, but the 17 year old girl was being ruff to the police officer and he reacted the way he was trained to do so. Even though the video has no audio, you can clearly see in the video that the officer has been trading verbal warnings to the girl for awhile while the girl is being physically offensive to the officer. She was too physically close to the officer making the officer worry that she might grab his fire arms. I think this video is a perfect example of how sometime officers are wrongfully seen as abusive without a motive.Opinions?
Who are you training? If I sent some dancers your way they would have nothing to do without a barre. Without a smith machine the bodybiulders wouldn't be very happy. If the way you plan to teach requires the stuff you have, then you're good. If it requires something more, you need more. If it requires less than what you have you spent too much money. You're charging say, $30/hour. Normally, that would mean you pocket maybe $23 if you account for capital. But if you didn't need something then it's hard not to think that you're making even less. My roomamate is 5 years into a garage gym and has never recovered from his $4,000 capital (buying all the stuff). Lots of small business make that mistake; buying too much too soon and not accounting for capital and grey time like driving, talking on the phone, or cleaning. It can take more than 10 years for a skilled business to show a profit and there is an IRS hotline that lets you rat out people who are running business without a license and or not paying their taxes on it. If you show up to take pictures of people in their back yards and take their money for it, you are a business and need a tax code and by-laws before you apply for one. A good old fashion PL is needed because the time you spent asking this and buying stuff is time you could have spent making money instead of spending it. So I'm just saying, be careful and be enthusiastic but don't get so excited that you lose scope. You are about to spend alot of money and time and effort to spend money so you can have the stuff to make money. You are NOT building a gym to look good in a magazine. Having options on Yoga balls is nice, but if you spend that extra 4%, that might be the 4% that would have kept you a'float otherwise. Don't buy things that will make the place look cool, buy the things that help you do your job.
It's case of using a bit of common sense. If you are going to start work as soon as you clock in it is sensible. The rule is to be ready for work when you clock in. If you are not wearing your safety gear when you clock in you are not ready for work. This is wee a bit od common sense comes in. If your start time is say 7:00am and you clock in at 6:50 giving yourself 10 minutes to put the gear on surely there is no problem. The clock should be were you enter work not in the middle of the factory floor where you need to wear the gear..
Another option is to use a plunger. Make sure you have water in the sink side that does not have the disposer. Put a sink stopper on the garbage disposal and have someone hold it down because when you start plunging the other side it will want to push the stopper out. Start plunging like crazy. This has worked for me many times without taking everything apart. Good luck. Maintenance Supervisor: Housing Authority.
