A Handbook On Commercial Registration: Fill & Download for Free

Your truck may well require commercial registration, but by itself, that does not necessarily mean that you require a commercial driver’s license.You will need the commercial driver’s license if:Your truck is over 26,000 lbs GVWR, has 3 or more axles, or has air brakes.You are towing another vehicle over 10,000 lbs GVWR. Note that there is a difference between towing and transporting.You provide patrol services on a freeway under an agreement with a traffic commission or similar agency. For this you need a Tow Truck Driver Certificate, which in turn requires a commercial license.See the California Commercial Driver Handbook:https://dmv.ca.gov/web/eng_pdf/comlhdbk.pdf

The CDC said 80 000 people died from flu last year. Does this mean the vaccine work as intended or does this mean vaccine failed?How many might have died if there were no vaccine at all? To draw the most useful conclusions, one needs to see vaccination rates vs death rates by locality. But even that is a problem, because in the U.S., mortality statistics are compiled by different jurisdictions in different ways. The CDC can only recommend standards. Each state and local jurisdiction is free to go its own way.NVSS - Mortality Data“Standard forms for the collection of the data and model procedures for the uniform registration of the events are developed and recommended for nationwide use through cooperative activities of the jurisdictions and NCHS. “In addition, only deaths by flu in children must be reported to the CDC:What You Should Know for the 2017-2018 Influenza SeasonThe Physicians Handbook on medical Certification of Death: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/misc/hb_cod.pdfIn some jurisdictions in the U.S., the death certificate may be filled out by funeral home professionals based on family testimony. The death certificate in some areas might not mention the flu as either an Immediate or Underlying Cause, especially if there were pre-existing conditions.Mortality Data from the National Vital Statistics SystemSo the number of deaths due to flu is an educated estimate based on jurisdictions with good reporting extrapolated to those with poor reporting.Cases of influenza - deadly or not - are not often confirmed via testing, either, because of cost or delays in test results.Influenza Virus Testing MethodsThe economic effect of flu is not included in the mortality report. Past studies such as this one have attempted to estimate it:The annual impact of seasonal influenza in the US: Measuring disease burden and costs ScienceDirect“Direct medical costs averaged $10.4 billion (95% confidence interval [C.I.], $4.1, $22.2) annually. Projected lost earnings due to illness and loss of life amounted to $16.3 billion (C.I., $8.7, $31.0) annually. The total economic burden of annual influenza epidemics using projected statistical life values amounted to $87.1 billion”The above estimate is based on 2003 population of the U.S., and for years of lower mortality and lower vaccination rates than last year.Can we separate profit seeking and vaccine utility?The U.S. is lacks transparency in almost every aspect of medical costs.The Medicare cost per dose varies a great deal - from $10 to about $55, depending on formula and manufacturer:Seasonal Influenza Vaccines PricingCommercial insurance costs would be similar. What might the aggregate cost to all U.S. consumers be for the vaccination?What You Should Know for the 2017-2018 Influenza SeasonAccording to the above, manufacturers reported making 155 Million doses for 2017 - roughly half the population of the U.S. At the highest price per dose listed above for Medicare, the cost of the vaccine alone would be $8.5B. The actual cost is likely half or 2/3 of that. If everyone were vaccinated, the cost would be double, but even at the 40% effectiveness rate cited for last year, the vaccine would probably save over 30,000 lives. Focusing on vulnerable populations - the very young, very old, and immunocompromised will help greatly. However, such vulnerable people also benefit greatly from herd immunity. All members of such families should get vaccinated.With public health, unless a country funds its own development and production of vaccines, there is always a profit motive involved. Nevertheless, federal and private research is still attempting to produce a universal influenza vaccine that protects against all varieties and future mutations of the virus.Ending the Pandemic Threat: A Grand Challenge for Universal Influenza Vaccine DevelopmentCandidate for Universal Flu Vaccine Protects Against Multiple Strains in Preclinical Study – PR NewsA universal vaccine might be expected to be less expensive, but this remains to be seen. The costs of production are complex and obscure. Profiteering in pharmacology is a disturbing trend.The complexity and cost of vaccine manufacturing – An overview ScienceDirectA related development to the universal vaccine is a universal flu diagnostic test based on the biochemistry the universal vaccine uses. This could greatly improve statistical quality, since very few cases of flu are confirmed by existing tests.Complicating the statistics on effectiveness and profit is the fact that there are 9 different flu vaccines available for doctors to chose from in the U.S. as of this writing:Influenza vaccines - United States, 2018-19 influenza season*Small children get a different vaccine than older children, and should get a second booster, according the the CDC. For those in the U.S. over 65, there is a stronger vaccine, Fluzone High-Dose, but some doctors and most patients seem to be unaware of it. It could help lower the death rate in the elderly.Fluzone High-Dose Seasonal Influenza VaccineSome immunocompromised people have begun to ask for a second booster vaccination, similar to what CDC recommends for small children.Should we review vaccine credibility?I assume you mean influenza vaccine credibility. The effectiveness of most other vaccines is beyond dispute. I think the variable nature of influenza and its vaccines demand the constant review that CDC and WHO perform. Unlike most viruses, influenza A and B quickly mutate, and public health and pharmacologists take a best guess before the season. Changes in weather that force people indoors more in close contact with each other are a major topic of post-season analysis. In addition, each hemisphere and continent produces a different combination vaccine each season, and public health scientists all over the world maintain contact with each other to share data. Even with these variables, most retrospective studies show significant cost benefit ratios around the world:Cost-Effectiveness of Influenza Vaccines http://www.who.int/influenza_vaccines_plan/resources/lee.pdf

Thank you, Nick Malik, for the A2A.My guess is that, if necessary, the company will invoke ICANN's Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the UDRP).I blogged about the UDRP several years ago. Quoting a portion of How the UDRP can Defeat a Cybersquatter:Under the UDRP, you (the Complainant) will be required to prove all of the following:(i) The domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which you have rights.(ii) The Registrant has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name.(iii) The domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.The following are examples of registration and use in bad faith – the facts on which UDRP decisions often turn:(i) Circumstances indicating that the Registrant has registered or has acquired the domain name primarily for the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring the domain name registration to the Complainant who is the owner of the trademark or service mark or to a competitor of that Complainant, for valuable consideration in excess of documented out-of-pocket costs directly related to the domain name.(ii) The Registrant has registered the domain name to prevent the owner of the trademark or service mark from reflecting the mark in a corresponding domain name, provided that the Registrant has engaged in a pattern of such conduct.(iii) The Registrant has registered the domain name primarily for the purpose of disrupting the business of a competitor.(iv) By using the domain name, the Registrant has intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to his web site or other on-line location, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant’s mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of the web site or location or of a product or service on the web site or location.I believe that it is a close question as to whether your actions to date and intended actions would satisfy the "bad faith" requirement.However, if I were judging the facts, "I'd like to keep the name so that I can release an updated handbook by that name if they fail" may well persuade me that the domain should belong to the company rather than you.If you care about the name enough that you would pay a lawyer thousands of dollars to represent you in a UDRP action (a lawyer is not required, but you probably would not succeed on your own), then you may want to hang tough to see what happens.If not, then you might as well agree to turn the name over amicably, with the company reimbursing you for domain costs incurred to date and paying all costs associated with the transfer.
