Fostering a Rescue Pet

Is Fostering for the Pet Rescue League for you? FAQ

Thank you for your interest in fostering for PRL! We would love to have you on our team and we strive to make fostering a positive experience for you. Here are some frequently asked questions that may help you decide if you'd like to try fostering. If you have any other questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact us.

What is fostering?

Fostering is providing a temporary home for a homeless pet. The shelter can be a very stressful place for most animals. Fostering allows animals to wait for their forever homes in a loving environment. Fostering truly saves lives.

Is there any cost to me?

Our rescue pays for everything that is needed for the foster animal.

Why should I foster?

Fostering can be a wonderful experience for you and your family. You can feel good knowing that you have made a positive difference in an animal’s life and are in many cases saving it! Fostering can also provide individual attention that helps the animal become more adoptable. Foster commitments range from just a couple of days to several months, and we do our best to match the animal to your family. You can choose foster options that fit with your lifestyle on our foster application.

Do I need to have any special training or skills to be foster parent?

Foster families should be compassionate, caring and patient. You will be informed of your foster animal’s known history, medical and behavioral health before they are placed in your care, and our foster coordinator will help answer questions and provide resources and information.
What are the requirements?

  • Be willing to abide by policies and procedures in the manual and foster care agreement

  • Spend time with foster pets and treat them like your own animals while they’re in your care.

  • Have up-to-date vaccinations for all animals in the home.

  • Have all animals spayed or neutered (this is on a case by case basis)

How long do animals need to be in foster care?

Every situation is different! Our foster needs range from emergency foster homes to until the animal is adopted, which can sometimes take several months. You will be able to choose how long you foster on the application.

How much time do foster parents have to devote to the animal(s) in their care?

It depends on the situation. Foster animals need all of the same things that owned animals do, and may even need more attention if they are recovering from illness/injury. We encourage our fosterers to help with things that may help to make the animal more adoptable.

What are some of the potential risks of fostering an animal?

Fostering is one of the most rewarding experiences that you can have, but there are some potential risks. While rare, below you will read some of the possible risks.

  • Owned animals could catch a disease and/or a parasite from a foster animal

  • Foster families, members of their household, or visitors could catch a disease and/or parasite from a foster animal (We do not, as a practice, send animals with known diseases transmittable to humans to foster.)

  • Owned animals could be injured or killed by a foster animal. We try to only take in animals that are good with others. This is always preventable if you follow the information recommended by PRL in the Care for Foster packet available on this website.

  • Foster families, members of the household, or visitors could be injured by a foster animal. We take every precaution to only take in non-aggressive animals.

  • Foster animals may destroy personal items.

What happens if my foster animal needs medical care?

PRL will provide all medical care for the animals in its foster program.

Can foster parents adopt their foster animals?

Yes. Foster parents can adopt their foster animals.

                                                 Foster Program Policies and Procedures

Legal Guardianship
All animals in foster care are the property of the Pet Rescue League and are subject to all applicable PRL policies, rules and restrictions.

Proper Housing and Care Requirements
1. Foster care providers are expected to follow and abide by all guidelines and protocols regarding proper care of foster animals, including giving them proper food, access to water at all times, daylight, socialization, health care, etc. Foster animals must be kept in climate controlled homes with the temperature kept between 60 and 80° F.  No foster animal will be left outside at night or in an unheated garage, tied out unattended or placed in any situation where physical harm could come to them.

2.  Puppies who have not had all their vaccinations should not go places such as the park, animal stores, public sidewalks/trails, etc., as puppies can be susceptible to deadly diseases that could be lurking there.

3. Dogs can go outside for supervised play time/exercise. When outdoors, foster dogs must be kept on leash or in a securely fenced yard. Some dogs can jump/climb over or dig under fences surprisingly fast, so please do not leave foster dogs unsupervised.

4. Foster care providers are prohibited from taking foster dogs to dog parks or other off leash areas. Dogs must be on leash, under your control, at all times.

5. Kittens and cats in foster care should be kept indoors only. When being transported, cats and kittens must be kept in secured carriers.

6. If your foster pet gets loose, contact a PRL representative immediately.

7. If injury or illness results from interaction between your animals and foster animals, BCPRL will only be responsible for the medical care and expenses of the foster animal. In some cases, you may be asked to keep your pet separate from the foster pet for a pre-determined period of time to prevent the spread of illness to your pet.

8. PRL reserves the right to perform home checks in order to ensure that foster animals are being adequately and appropriately cared for.

9. If a foster care provider refuses to return a foster animal for any reason upon request by PRL, or has improperly transferred an animal to another individual or entity, the foster care provider will be permanently removed from the foster program and the BCPRL may initiate appropriate legal action in order to secure the return of the animal.

10. Foster care providers are only allowed to treat foster animals with medications and supplements prescribed by a veterinarian.

11. Foster care providers must notify PRL immediately if a foster animal bites a person or animal and the bite breaks the skin.

12. Children under the age of 18 should not be left unsupervised with any foster animals.

13. Contact a PRL representative if you see any signs of aggression toward a person (freezing, hard stare, growling, lunging, showing teeth, snapping, etc.) It is our policy to never knowingly take in a dog with a bite history or a tendency to be aggressive.

14. Foster care providers must notify a PRL representative of any bite (whether inflicted on a human or another animal) immediately. The foster home will abide by the decision of PRL as to the disposition of the rescue animal should a bite occur.

15. Foster care providers may not give, lease, sell or otherwise transfer custody of the rescue animal to anyone while it is under the foster home’s care. PRL will retain ownership of all foster animals and will make final decisions (with the input of the foster home) regarding adoption or euthanasia. The foster home also agrees that PRL may, as it deems necessary, make visits to the foster home to check on the foster animal’s status. Should PRL decide that the foster animal requires any behavioral training or medical attention, the foster home agrees to abide by PRL’s decision(s).

16. PRL has the right to terminate this agreement and also has the right to the immediate surrender and return of the foster animal to PRL. The foster home agrees to give access to its premises if necessary to facilitate the return.

17. Foster care providers must notify PRL immediately of any upcoming change or address or telephone number. The foster home will also provide a copy of the lease (if property where the foster animal housed is rented) stating that the said foster family has permission from the landlord/leasing agent to house a foster animal of that said type.

 PRL agrees to pay for all the necessities related to the foster animal including: food, litter and box, crate or carrier, bedding, vet care, medicines, leashes, and collars. The foster home is encouraged to buy/make safe toys and treats for foster animal, but will NOT be reimbursed for them.

 Emergencies, Approvals & Reimbursements:

(a) The foster home is encouraged to take the animal to the approved vet in the case of an emergency. If they cannot reach the approved vet, they may take the animal to another competent vet. The foster agrees to notify a PRL representative at the earliest possible time. The foster home needs PRL’s approval prior to any medical treatment for the animal.

(b) The foster home agrees to immediately notify a PRL representative if their animal receives an injury, is lost or stolen.

(c) The foster home will be reimbursed for any medical, training or other PREVIOUSLY APPROVED expenses that may occur during the foster period. Payment will be made to the foster home by PRL. All foster homes will provide legitimate receipts for proof of payment to PRL and fill out any forms required to receive payment. Please keep your receipts!

Health and Temperament
PRL will be as accurate as possible when providing information about the medical and behavioral health of animals seeking foster placement, but cannot guarantee the medical or behavioral health of any animal.

Foster care providers are required to be as accurate as possible about their foster animal’s health and behavior. This will assist the shelter in determining the proper medical treatment, training and/or behavioral rehabilitation for the animal.

How It Works

  • To foster, the applicant fills out the foster application on our website.

  • PRL reviews the application, and if it is approved, contacts applicant and does a home visit

  • If everything goes well with the home visit, when a dog/cat comes in that is a match for the foster home, a PRL representative brings the animal to the foster home. If it is a good fit, the fosterer signs the foster contract

  • The fosterer takes care of the animal’s daily needs and begins working on any issues: house training, obedience training, overcoming shyness, etc... (We will help you with training and any issues/problems you may encounter.)

  • PRL coordinates medical appointments, meet and greets and any transportation necessary

  • The fosterer keeps BCPRL updated on progress of animal and fills out the Foster Dog Profile.

  • PRL and the fosterer work together to facilitate an adoption.

Important Fostering Tips

  • When receiving a foster animal, fosterers should ask questions about the animal’s history, physical, social and behavioral issues. It is our policy to disclose everything we know about an animal's temperament, behavior, and medical history to our fosters and adopters. The Foster Dog Profile that we have our fosterers fill out about their foster animal will go into the animal's file to be given to the adopter.

  • When receiving a foster animal, fosterers should check its collar to ensure it is snug and in good condition. PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THE COLLAR OR TAG.

  • Allow the animal to relax during its first few days in its new environment. Moving is stressful and exciting for animals. The first few days should be slow and easy and allow some time for the animal to transition to their foster home.

  • Cats are to be kept indoors unless on a leash. Dogs are also to reside indoors and must be on a leash outside unless in a completely fenced in area.

  • Dogs are not to be chained.

  • Fosterers should know the adoption fee of the animal they are fostering. Direct all parties interested in adopting to complete an application on PRL’s website: browncountypetrescueleague.org

  • Please take pictures and video! PRL relies heavily on fosters for pictures and bios of the animal they are fostering. This wonderful information and update will help the animals find their loving homes faster.

  • Fosterers should make PRL aware of a situation where their foster animal is not working out in their home. Please be patient with your foster animal and your resident animals when it comes to acceptance. However, if there are any signs of aggression towards people (freezing, hard stare, growling,lunging, snarling, showing teeth, snapping, etc) please let us know right away.

  • Call/text PRL with any questions, needed advice, concerns, or stories regarding the animals.

  • If the dog will be visiting a place other than your home during your time together, consider whether they will truly benefit from, and enjoy the particular environment to which you will be taking them. Think about the surroundings, the traffic (both people and other animals), and whether or not the environment may cause further stress to your foster dog.

  •  Crowded public areas should be avoided, including school grounds.

  • You are prohibited from taking foster dogs to off leash dog parks or other off leash areas. Dogs must be on leash, under your control, at all times.

  • Have a blast! Ride in the car, walk in the neighborhood, play, watch TV, whatever you want to do within the limits outlined above. Use structure, kindness, attention, training, and snuggling as needed. Some dogs will want to spend their time resting and some will want to do lots of fun things. Keep in mind the dog’s safety and needs and yours, and have fun!

  • Most of all, just give the animals lots of love, attention, and guidance so they can be ready for their new forever home!


When is the Champions League round of 16 draw and who can Chelsea play?

Our smooth passage to the Champions League knockout stages means we have a last-16 tie to look forward to in the new year, and here we have all the details about the draw and who the Blues can be paired with...

When is the Champions League draw?

The draw takes place at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, on Monday 14 December. It starts at 11am UK time.

How can I watch the draw?

UEFA will be streaming the draw live on their website, while in the UK it will be shown live on BT Sport 2, with coverage starting at 10.45am.

Who could Chelsea play in the Champions League next round?

As one of the eight teams to finish top of their group, we can face any of the runners-up aside from Sevilla, who were in our group. The other two teams from our national association who qualified, Manchester City and Liverpool, also finished first so there is no way we could meet them anyway.

That leaves our possible round of 16 opponents as:

Atletico Madrid

Borussia Monchengladbach

RB Leipzig

Who else has qualified for the Champions League round of 16?

Seven other teams finished first in their group. They are:

Bayern Munich

Real Madrid

Manchester City

Borussia Dortmund

Paris Saint-Germain

Sevilla were the other team to advance from our group.

How does the Champions League draw work?

The group winners (seeded teams) are at home in the second legs, so Chelsea will be playing away from home in the first leg.

No team can play a club from their UEFA Champions League group or a side from the same national association.

When do the Champions League round of 16 ties take place?

The first legs are scheduled for 16, 17, 23 and 24 February, with the second legs on 9, 10, 16 and 17 March.

The draw for the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final is on 19 March.

What Questions Should You Prepare for In A Job Interview?

What Questions Should You Prepare for In A Job Interview?

about 1 month ago By Emily Harris
Common Interview Questions   D&B

It's one of the greatest fears candidates can have before going into a job interview; you've arrived on time, dressed professionally and gotten off to a great start with your interviewer – only to be faced with a curveball question you hadn't prepared for. Because so much of a job interview hangs on how you answer the questions posed to you, stumbling over or failing to answer a question could be the deciding factor in landing your dream job. Particularly, because interview questions are designed to reveal a candidate’s suitability for a role; their skill set, their experience level and even their alignment with the company in question’s values and culture. If you can’t demonstrate your suitability through your answers, your chances of securing that role diminishes. Consequently, researching and preparing your answers prior to any job interview is imperative in making a good impression and progressing within their selection process.

But when conducting your research and preparation, what questions should you focus on? To help candidates with their interview prep, our team of consultants reveal the most common and important questions that are asked within job interviews and the key things your potential employer is looking for in your answers.

Understand the difference between behavioural and competency-based questions

The first thing you should do when conducting interview prep is to make sure you understand the difference between the two types of questions asked within the majority of interviews; behavioural and competency-based questions. Interviews will often be made up of a blend of both behavioural and competency-based questions to gauge a candidate’s motivations, working styles and core skills and competencies. However there are subtle differences between each question type and what interviewers will be looking for in your answers, so knowing this and adjusting your responses will provide you with a great advantage.

Common behavioural- based questions

Behavioural-based interview questions aim to reveal the way a candidate thinks; essentially what motivates and drives them at work. The purpose of this line of questioning – which usually focuses on your past work experiences – is to determine if the candidate aligns with the organisation’s culture and values and it relies on the theory that past behaviour predicts future action. Consequently, it’s believed these types of questions will help reveal how candidates think and how they would act in particular situations within the role in question.

Example Behavioural Questions:

How do you like to set and work towards work goals? Can you walk us through a recent goal you set and what you did to ensure you achieved it?

How do you think you work under pressure? Can you provide an example of a time you recently felt pressure at work and what you did to handle it?

Tell me about a time when you had to demonstrate adaptability?

What interests you about this role/why do you want to work here?

What motivates you to work hard? Can you think of workplace examples where this applies?

Can you describe a time where you faced a challenging situation at work – how did you handle it?

A good way to prepare for these types of questions is to study the organisation and try to gain an understanding of their culture. Most government departments require a high level of collaboration within their roles, so mentioning things like being a team player and being motivated when seeing others work hard, will usually work in your favour. Similarly, a key goal of the public sector is to serve and provide for their community, so trying to highlight your altruistic values in your answer, or your passion for working on community-based projects is important. More specifically, you can try and find out what a particular department’s work style is like -is efficiency highly valued due to the high level of applications or requests they have to process? Or do they focus on creativity and innovation due to the nature of the projects they work on? Once you know these factors, you can tailor your responses to align with their organisational culture.

Example Question: Tell me about a time when you had to demonstrate adaptability?

How to answer: When asked questions about challenging situations or demonstrating your soft skills like adaptability or creativity, interviewers are usually looking to gain a better understanding of how you handle stress and respond to problems. Especially when applying for high-pressure roles, or roles that involve stakeholder management, showcasing your ability to be flexible and handle problems in your answers is critical. These don’t always have to be really big examples – like when you were a project lead. An example could be dealing with the changing COVID-19 restrictions while on-site or handling workloads when your deadlines change.

Example of a good answer: I was working as project lead on a significant marketing campaign for a previous employer when by coincidence, three weeks before our launch date, a competitor launched a very similar campaign – regarding content, design etc. We didn’t want to push ahead with our plans as this would look like we were copying our competitor, despite working on the campaign for weeks. I knew we had to change the direction of our campaign and overall design, so I organised an emergency meeting with our marketing and design team. We had a huge brainstorming session. Having already done our research, and with our goals unchanged, we focused on the different ways to present the campaign, new mediums, colours etc. I then took some of the two most popular ideas from the brainstorm and mapped out a new campaign plan for both versions and then presented these to the marketing director for final approval. After we got the go-ahead for one of the ideas, it was all hands on deck to get the campaign assets ready for the launch date in three weeks. We managed to have everything ready for the launch date and were even able to generate 30% spike in leads. I was very proud with the way our team and myself were able to pivot and deliver great results.

Common competency-based questions

Competency-based questions are used by interviewers to assess the specific attributes, knowledge and skills a candidate possesses concerning a particular role. While very similar to behavioural questions, when asking a competency-based question, interviewers are usually looking to determine if you have the specific skills required to perform a job, based on what you reveal in your answers. Again, the idea is that if you have used these skills before, you will be able to apply them to the necessary standard again.

The competencies that interviewers will be looking for will depend on the particular role advertised, as each role within each industry will have a specific list of core skills and experiences required for the role and thus what they will be looking for in each candidate’s answers. The best way to predict the types of competency-based questions you will be asked in an interview and get an idea on what your interviewers will be looking for, is to carefully look over the advertised role’s job description - especially the requirements and desired skills and experience section.

Example Competency-Based Questions

Have you ever faced conflict when working with a team? How did you resolve it?

Can you give an example of how you vary your communication approach according to the audience you’re addressing?

How do you identify and deliver the standards required by your clients – can you provide a recent example of when you did this?

Has there been a big decision you’ve made at work recently? Can you take us through your decision-making process?

Can you give me an example where you collaborated with individuals or teams outside your business area to deliver a positive outcome?

Can you talk us through a recent circumstance when you had conflicting deadlines and how you managed these?

Example Question: Have you ever faced conflict when working with a team? How did you resolve it?

How to answer: This question is designed to demonstrate your emotional intelligence, collaboration and team working skills. Essentially, your ability to interact and work together with your colleagues, collaborate on projects, and how you can resolve and help with any conflict within your team. Consequently, you need to think about how your answer can best convey this. It’s also important to highlight the results your team achieved from your actions or contribution, such as meeting a project deadlinenor achieving key KPIs.

Example of a good answer: A colleague who had recently joined the team started to deliver their end-of-week reporting late. The delays in sending through their reporting then held up other business processes and was causing some tension within the team. As a team leader, I felt it was important to have a catch up with this new colleague to determine what support the team could provide – especially in the first few months- to help them with their reporting. It turns out the colleague was having difficulties with using the reporting software our company had just installed. I offered to provide them with some ongoing training and support over the next few weeks with the software, and since then the colleague has been able to use the software proficiently. This has helped to ensure their reports have been finalised and as a team, all of our reporting is sent to management by deadline each week.

Don't forget the STAR Method

To help with setting out your responses to your behavioural and competency-based questions in an interview, you can apply the STAR method. The STAR Method is a useful tool as it ensures your answers follow a clear structure so that they best showcase your competency and skillset concerning a particular role. STAR stands for Situation, Task, Action and Response and can be applied to your answers as follows:

 The Situation- Start your answer by sharing the context around a particular work challenge, task or experience; the who, what, when and where.

The Task- Then describe your involvement or role in that particular task, challenge or situation.

The Action- Explain the specific steps or processes you took to overcome or resolve a challenge or complete a particular task. If the action was carried out by a team, focus on your efforts as it is your efforts that are being assessed.

The Response- Finish by summarising the outcome that was directly achieved by your efforts. In this section, it’s important to quantify your results to help demonstrate your capabilities so try and include figures or stats where possible – e.g. this resulted in a 5% increase in traffic to the company website.

Do you have any questions?

The last question that will always be asked in any interview - no matter what the role- is ‘do you have any questions for me?’. Asking some questions of your own is a great way to show your interest and engagement in both the company and the role in question and it also helps your further clarify if the role is suited to you. Consequently, it’s always good to have at least 3 to 5 pre-prepared questions at the ready before you go into an interview, just in case some get answered during the process. Some good questions to ask could include: What prospects are there for personal and professional development? What are the organisation’s goals for the next six months? When do you expect to make a final decision on the role? What do you like best about working at said company?

Design & Build specialise in helping candidates with all stages of the recruitment process - resumes, selection criteria and interviews and we know what organisations – especially within the built environment industry- are looking for in candidate’s answers.

A Policy Agenda to Develop Human Capital for the Modern Economy

14 Facts about US Investments in Infrastructure and R&D

Scaling Apprenticeship to Increase Human Capital

In this chapter, author Robert Lerman argues that a large-scale apprenticeship program could address these challenges, while also yielding substantial additional gains for employers and the U.S. economy. He first reviews the evidence on apprenticeship, which suggests that increasing the availability of apprenticeships would increase youth employment and wages, improve workers’ transitions from school to careers, upgrade those skills that employers most value, broaden access to rewarding careers, increase economic productivity, and contribute to positive returns for employers and workers.

Climate Policy Enters Four Dimensions

David Keith (Harvard) and John Deutch (MIT) discuss mechanisms to manage climate risks, which they call the climate control mechanisms: emissions reduction, carbon dioxide removal (CDR), adaptation, and solar radiation modification (SRM).

Fiscal Policy With High Debt and Low Interest Rates

Gale argues that although historically low interest rates reduce the cost of government borrowing, they are not a "get out of jail free card." Rising debt will slowly but surely make it harder to grow the economy, boost living standards, respond to wars or recessions, address social needs, and maintain the nation’s role as a global leader.

Introduction: The Need to Expand Economic Opportunity


Teams/Groups Considerations

“Assignment 1: Discussion Teams/Groups Considerations
Continuing on the journey of individual differences, leaders and managers face an increasingly diverse workforce. Not only are diverse individuals working side-by-side in organizations, many people are working virtually with teams from all around the world. Teams are not just groups of people sitting in a conference room but individuals who come together via technology; each individual attending a team meeting can join in from an office or cubicle potentially located anywhere in the world. In such a virtual environment, there is always the possibility of conflict due to the diverse nature of the meeting participants.
Consider the aforementioned aspects, and using the module readings and the Argosy University online library resources, research the challenges, benefits, and impacts related to teams or groups. Then, respond to the following:
Discuss the varied challenges faced by leaders or managers concerning teams made of a diverse workforce. Include considerations such as how some team members might be from different countries or how the teams might meet virtually.
Explain how factors related to internal and external teams (participants both from within the same room and those attending virtually) may affect organizational behavior.
How can these internal and external factors be constructively managed to enhance not only team performance but also organizational performance?
By the due date assigned, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through the end of the module, review and comment on at least two peers responses.
Write your initial response in 300-500 words. Your response should be thorough and address all components of the discussion question in detail, include citations of all sources, where needed, according to the APA Style, and demonstrate accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation”

Is RE/MAX under- or over-valued?

Valuing RE/MAX stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of RE/MAX's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

RE/MAX's P/E ratio

RE/MAX's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 54x. In other words, RE/MAX shares trade at around 54x recent earnings.

RE/MAX's PEG ratio

RE/MAX's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 4.07. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into RE/MAX's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

RE/MAX's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $77.8 million.

The EBITDA is a measure of a RE/MAX's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

RE/MAX financials

Revenue TTM $293.1 million
Operating margin TTM 17.04%
Gross profit TTM $201.6 million
Return on assets TTM 5.79%
Return on equity TTM 18.57%
Profit margin 3.8%
Book value $28.13
Market capitalisation $603.8 million

TTM: trailing 12 months

Shorting RE/MAX shares

There are currently 638,428 RE/MAX shares held short by investors – that's known as RE/MAX's "short interest". This figure is 1.8% down from 650,365 last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting RE/MAX shares can be evaluated.

RE/MAX's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

RE/MAX's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of RE/MAX shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of RE/MAX shares traded daily (recently around 91465.329512894). RE/MAX's SIR currently stands at 6.98. In other words for every 100,000 RE/MAX shares traded daily on the market, roughly 6980 shares are currently held short.

However RE/MAX's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of RE/MAX shares, or, against the total number of tradable RE/MAX shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case RE/MAX's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 RE/MAX shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0485% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable RE/MAX shares, roughly 49 shares are currently held short).

A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against RE/MAX.

RE/MAX share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 41.36% of net profits

Recently RE/MAX has paid out, on average, around 41.36% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.88% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), RE/MAX shareholders could enjoy a 2.88% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In RE/MAX's case, that would currently equate to about $0.9 per share.

While RE/MAX's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that RE/MAX may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

RE/MAX share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, RE/MAX's shares have ranged in value from as little as $29.0015 up to $43.0507. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

RMAX.US volatility(beta: 1.48)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while RE/MAX's is 1.4836. This would suggest that RE/MAX's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Colour Rendering Index - What Is CRI?

The Colour Rendering Index & Lighting

The type of light bulb you use in your photography studio or when creating videos could have a profound effect on the way your shot looks. This is often attributed to something known as the colour rendering index or CRI for short. This index will measure the ability of a light source to reveal colours of objects in contrast to a natural light source, such as the sun shining through your window.

So, what is the Colour Render Index known as CRI? Simply put, it's the measurement of light in relation to how it affects the appearance of colour. This range can also depend on the "temperature" of the light, your image may look a little more warm or there is more infrared light coming through if you are were to be under a skylight doing a photo or video shoot.

either way you want to use lighting that will best illuminate each room depending on your needs.

Understanding the Colour Rendering Index Chart

Every type of photography or video lighting has its place on what's known as CRI the colour rendering index chart. This chart measures a scale from 0 to 100, depending on how accurately it can produce light that matches a naturally referenced light source and by that I mean Sunlight when you are out and about in the day.

In general, bulbs at the higher end of the scale will produce a more accurate CRI the colour rendering of the objects around it. This vital for use in photography and video lighting.

Color Rendering Index Chart

Colour Rendering Index & LED Light Bulbs

LED bulbs have grown in popularity recently, mainly due to their energy-efficient qualities and bright light production. In terms of CRI for LED, most LED lights produce a score of about 80 to 90 on the chart. The result is a brighter room, but with a much more natural, accurate output of light. Unlike fluorescent lighting which can still create a natural look, LEDs superior when it comes to creating that look. Aside from the colour rendering index, the number of lumens output, or actual light produced, plays a role in the overall effectiveness of an LED bulb too.

CRI for Lighting

When it comes to choosing the right light bulbs for lighting, CRI for lighting plays a role. You want colours to be crisp and everything to look sharp, remember you can always scale things down in Edit or post production but you cannot scale up.

The CRI scale became more popular when LED lighting began to become prevalent in the video lighting and photo lighting community and is not a main factory when purchasing a LED light.  Many modern light bulb manufacturers will post a "lighting facts" portion on the packaging to inform consumers of the bulb's properties. These facts should indicate the colour rendering index scale, number of lumens, watts and efficiency metrics. Choose lighting that has a higher CRI like our 600 or 1200 day light panels rating so you can be sure you're getting the most accurate color portrayal in your studio or video shoot.

The Bottom Line with CRI

The higher the CRI the better light it will produce, if you need any guidance then please get in touch with our photography & video support team who will assist you in everyway they can.

What to Consider When Choosing the Highest Cost Wood Boiler?

When purchasing a wood boiler with the highest output, there are several things to consider. An outdoor wood burning stove is a significant investment and it is important that you spend your money on the right one.

Having said that, there are a few things you need to consider before deciding on a particular wood boiler. Here are some things to consider when choosing the best central boiler creosote remover with the highest load.

How Creosote Sticks Make Your Boiler Super Easy To Clean? Step 6 of 10 OutdoorBoiler.com

Inexpensive:- Since you are spending a lot of money to buy a boiler, it is important that the boiler is operated economically. The best option in this case is a wood boiler with a top loader. The best thing about the kettle is that you can lay down the entire log instead of having to separate it. Logs are much cheaper than splitting wood and burning more efficiently, which saves time and money.

Smoke:- Smoke is a big problem when using wood boilers. Some people are allergic to cigarettes and cannot tolerate it for a short time. Wood boilers emit smoke, so you should purchase a smoke-free kettle while it is in operation. A good quality wood burner will not produce as much smoke as a lesser one. It is very important to look for the best quality, rather than buying at a certain price.

Maintenance and cleaning:- Regular maintenance and care of a high load wood boiler is essential to keep it in normal operation. With regular cleaning, a wood boiler will last a long time.

A cloudy bounce back effect

Scientists now know that about a third of the sunlight that strikes the Earth gets beamed back out to space.

Some of it is reflected by land, and some by oceans and the shining snow and ice at the poles. But the biggest source of earthshine is probably the planet’s fluffy, white clouds. Scientists are using telescopes and satellites to monitor the Earth’s reflectance, referred to by scientists as its “albedo,” over time. And they’ve just made a startling discovery.

Over the last few years, the planet has grown suddenly dimmer. Climate models indicate that low-level tropical clouds will probably decline as the planet gets hotter. As a result, the planet will absorb more solar radiation. It’s a process that could actually speed up the rate of future global warming, scientists say — a kind of self-perpetuating feedback cycle.

In the future, climate change is likely to have a bigger effect on the planet’s cloud cover. Multiple recent studies have concluded that future warming is likely to inhibit the formation of reflective, low-level clouds. And it’s likely to affect other types of cloud cover in ways that will amplify future climate change.

“The future changes we expect all point to reduced low-level clouds,” said Mark Zelinka, a climate scientist and cloud expert at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

The LLNL “Microbes Persist” project was just awarded $15 million by the Department of Energy. Image by Victor Leshyk/Center for Ecosystem Science and Society, Northern Arizona University.

A matter of life and death

Do dead microbes control the future of Earth’s climate? A team of researchers led by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) suspects they might. Using new tools, the team can see which soil organisms are thriving and which are dying in California’s changing climate — and what happens to carbon in their cell biomass when they do.

The seven-institution team has just been awarded $15 million by the Department of Energy Biological and Environmental Research Genomic Sciences Program to investigate how the life and death of soil microbes may author the destiny of most of the world’s soil carbon.

“Our fate is bound up with soil carbon, and its fate is bound up with these intricate microbial communities, whose individual capabilities and interactions we are only beginning to understand,” said Jennifer Pett-Ridge, the lead investigator and Environmental Isotope Systems group leader at LLNL. “Using new tools, some of which this team developed, we are asking: how can understanding the microbial lives unfolding in soil tell us about the future of carbon?”

The graphic depicts sequences of radiographs of interacting planar tin ejecta microjets.

When you’re a jet

Lawrence Livermore scientists have successfully imaged the collision of a pair of micrometer-wide jets made of tin particles.

Shine a high-powered laser at one side of a metal foil and a jet of particles will fly out of the other. The LLNL researchers have imaged and tracked the particles in these jets to measure, for example, how the type of metal affects the sizes and velocities of the particles.

LLNL’s Alison Saunders and her colleagues have captured images of two of these jets colliding. Being able to obtain such images opens up many new avenues for experiments, Saunders said, as researchers will be able to study interactions between jets in more detail. Similar interactions occur between particles during planetary formation and other high-energy processes.

Ice VII was found lurking in diamonds mined from Earth's mantle.

Breaking the ice mold

New research involving Lawrence Livermore scientists shows that water can remain liquid in a metastable state when transitioning from liquid to a dense form of ice at higher pressures than previously measured.

Water at extreme conditions has attracted recent attention because of its complex phase diagram, including superionic ice phases having exotic properties that exist at high pressures and densities. To date, 20 unique crystalline ice phases have been found naturally on Earth or in the laboratory. Water also exhibits bizarre metastable phenomena when compressed or cooled very rapidly, which have attracted interest from physicists worldwide for many years.

If the water is compressed very rapidly, it will remain liquid in a metastable state until finally crystallizing into ice VII at a higher pressure than expected,” said Michelle Marshall, a research scientist at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics at the University of Rochester and a former LLNL postdoc.

Ice VII is the stable polymorph of water at room temperature and at pressures exceeding 2 GPa (more than 19,000 atmospheres). Recently, ice VII was found naturally on Earth for the first time as inclusions in diamonds sourced deep within the mantle. It may exist inside Jupiter’s icy moons and in water worlds beyond our solar system.

Before (left) and after (right) of the crater caused by the Beirut explosion on Aug. 4, 2020.

Just how big was the Beirut explosion?

On Aug. 4, 2020, one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history pulverized a Beirut port and damaged more than half the city. The explosion resulted from the detonation of tons of ammonium nitrate, a combustible chemical compound commonly used in agriculture as a high-nitrate fertilizer, but which also can be used to manufacture explosives.

Since that time, the explosive yield estimates varied widely, and in some cases, were inconsistent with what would be expected based on the amount of ammonium nitrate stored at the Beirut harbor. In addition, the crater size, seismic magnitude and mushroom cloud height seemed to be inconsistent.

Lawrence Livermore physicist Peter Goldstein has studied how water saturation of the explosive, ground and possibly water and debris from the near-source environment can help reconcile differences in the yield estimates. Official records indicate that roughly 2.7 kilotons of explosive material were stored at the Beirut harbor warehouse where the explosion occurred. The detonation of these materials resulted in a large crater and seismic measurements suggested it was possible that the yield was at least a few kilotons and possibly much greater. However, there were other estimates that suggested the yield was quite a bit smaller, possibly as little as half a kiloton.

Goldstein's research analyzes the crater dimensions, seismic magnitude estimates and the cloud height of the explosion and shows that all the data are consistent with a yield of around a kiloton when water/saturation is accounted for.


Apple has been filed for a patent (number 20210185855) for an “air deflector for cooling system in a head-mounted device” that involves the rumored “Apple Glasses.” That’s the anticipated augmented reality/virtual reality/mixed reality head-mounted display (HMD).

An HMD can be worn by a user to display visual information within the field of view of the user. The head-mounted device can be used as a virtual reality (VR) system, an augmented reality (AR) system, and/or a mixed reality (MR) system. A user may observe outputs provided by the head-mounted device, such as visual information provided on a display. However, such a device may generate heat that makes wearing it uncomfortable.

Apple’s patent filing involves an HMD that includes a housing configured to be worn on a head of a user. The housing includes an inlet port and an outlet port. An air circulation device is mounted to the housing and configured to produce a flow of air through an air flow path in the housing that extends from the inlet port to the outlet port.

 A display assembly is mounted to the housing and has a surface in the air flow path of the housing. An air deflector mounted to the surface of the display assembly and configured to reduce a turbulence of the flow of air through the air flow path.

When it comes to Apple Glasses, such a device will arrive this year or 2022, depending on which rumor you believe. The Sellers Research Group (that’s me) thinks Apple will at least preview it before the end of the year.

Peace or Jihad?

Myles-solo-7-12-150x150Katharine and I have had the privilege of interviewing Itamar Marcus of Palestinian Media Watch. With his hearty band of researchers, Marcus faithfully monitors and translates Arabic “news articles” and communiqués into Hebrew and English for the Western world to see.

In my opinion, workers at PalWatch are true heroes on the frontlines of the clash of civilizations—that is, if you can classify as a civilization a terrorist-driven, suicide-bombing, murder-celebrating tribe that indoctrinates its youngest children to hate and kill. Am I being judgmental?

I remember the classic video of former PLO dictator Yasser Arafat crying crocodile tears in front of the European and American media. He acted distraught over a terror attack on Israel—but hours later was seen screaming, “Jihad, jihad, jihad!” before a Muslim audience. I thought, “This is the very definition of ‘taqiyya’”— namely, lying or acting deceptively in order to progress Islam, a perfectly permissible practice in Islam.

A Tale of Two Cultures

While the Palestinian call for jihad against Israel continues, Palestinian leaders in Fatah and Hamas seek Israeli doctors, hospitals, and medical interventions for their own survival. gives examples.

Jews helping Fatah:

Jews helping Hamas:

This is a serious conundrum.

Judeo-Christian culture compels us to help those in need. Israeli medical services are famous for their triage—first helping the patient most in dire straits, whether terrorist or native son. The Hebrew mandate “tikkun olam” (“repair the world”) means to leave it in a better state than you found it—the opposite of jihad. Combining these two elements—civilized love and decency—causes Jews and Christians to continually reach for the hearts and heal the bodies of those who want to kill us all—to wipe us off the map. Oy!

To be pro-Israel is not to be anti-Arab or anti-Muslim. To be pro-Israel is to believe the Bible, the historical land grant, the hope of Messiah, and His desire for all to know the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel (Jacob).

Growth of HVAC Technology: Reshaping and Automating Future Systems

HVAC or Heating, Ventilation, and Cooling systems are important for every commercial building, and facility managers need to keep on top of the development ladder for numerous reasons which include the following:

  • According to the recent survey by Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption, heating accounted for about 25% of the total energy consumption in commercial buildings. On the other hand, ventilation is 10 percent and cooling accounts for 9 percent of the energy consumption.
  • The HVAC systems play a vital role in the indoor environmental quality as it helps form cleaner air and fewer noise distractions produced from the system. These help in contributing to tenant satisfaction and their physical and mental health.
  • As today’s system technology and features are changing, Artificial Intelligence and the IoT can be put together to develop HVAC systems that provide numerous benefits, including occupant satisfaction and financial savings.

The major contributors to HVAC, for instance, residential cleaning, landscaping, arboriculture (cultivation, management, and study of woody plants), pool service, contracting, window cleaning, pressure washing, accounting, consulting, and many more are looking forward to new trends. Current HVAC trends are focussed on lowering the amount of energy used to heat and cool building facilities, and also making the HVAC processes more environmentally-friendly. In short, energy economy and tailor-fit services are driving towards this year’s trends!
Smart HVAC products are important as they increase room-by-room environmental temperature and also regulate heating and cooling methods. Let’s walk through the major HVAC Technology Trends.

7 major HVAC technology trends

1. Solar HVAC and Air-conditioning systems

Solar HVAC systems make use of solar panels to absorb both heat (thermal energy) and light energy from the sun. For the heating application in HVAC the thermal energy is used to heat a fluid which is a mixture of water and antifreeze. This fluid runs through a heat exchanger which creates heated air that warms the building.
In cases where a building requires an existing air conditioning system to be refitted to a solar-powered one, these systems make use of an evaporative cooling method, where the air is cooled by the evaporation of contained water.
Air conditioning using thermal power uses both solar power and natural gas. The advantage is that energy costs are much lower. Also, it utilizes fewer moving parts than traditional HVAC systems and requires less maintenance.
Energy consumption reduced by up to 30% by using ice to cool refrigerant rather than using a traditional AC compressor. The ice that is used here is produced by icer-powered air conditioning systems that produce hundreds of pounds of ice every time these are used!
VRF or variable refrigerant flow includes an outdoor unit and refrigerant piping that allows for each pipe to be individually controlled. The benefits include automatic ability to adjust with current requirements, efficiency improvement, and so on.

2. Smart HVAC/ Smart Thermostats and Sensors

New or added sensors in the thermostat, compressor or other areas can help regulate how the system should run. The latest HVAC technologies are aimed at improving energy efficiency.
Smart HVAC products, like thermostats, can be controlled by smartphone applications from anywhere, anytime. The other benefits include sensor-activated ventilation and motion-detection air conditioning systems. The sensors help in cooling only the parts of the building that is in use. This saves energy and operating costs.

3. Heat Pumps

Dual-fuel heat pumps make use of both natural gas and electricity. When temperatures are low, gas is used and electricity provides the same benefit at higher temperatures.
Methods such as underground tubing and geothermal heat pumps are used to draw heat from the ground. This ground, during summer, is used as a heat sink. Irrespective of its higher installation costs, these heat pumps can provide considerable savings in the long run.

4. Sustainable Building Design

The new generation is moving closer to green construction. This is a sustainable building design where the building’s sustainability is given prior importance, where the building’s HVAC system is a major component in sustainable building design. This is because both heating and cooling systems form a major component in a facility’s energy consumption.
With this idea in mind, architects use ventilation systems that use more natural airflow to reduce energy costs. They also choose different ventilation systems that use more natural airflow to reduce energy costs. It might also choose different building materials that keep the building at a more constant temperature to start with, reducing the need for high-powered HVAC. HVAC systems in green buildings are likely to have alternative power sources as well.

5. Zoning Systems

This HVAC system is convenient and easy to use, letting you set specific temperatures for individual zones in the house. Unlike conventional systems on the market, the innovative HVAC zoning systems monitor your home and direct heated and cooled air exactly where it’s needed most. In today’s world, by using a series of dampers in ductwork, different temperature zones in a home or commercial building can be created and controlled by specific and individual thermostats. This accounts for the energy savings typically associated with ductless mini-splits. This avoids the expense of installing a new system.

6. Geothermal HVAC

Geothermal HVAC systems make use of a set of pipes buried underground, called an earth loop. Geothermal heating and cooling systems heat and cool your building making use of ground temperatures. Water is run through underground pipes. As the water travels through the ground, it is heated (or cooled, depending on the time of year) by the ground’s constant temperature. An indoor unit uses a fan, compressor and pumps to provide the temperate through the building.

7. Hot Water Recirculation

HVAC hot water recirculation systems route cold water into a water heater while directly injecting hot water into the line when a faucet is turned on. As a result, up to 12,000 gallons of water is saved on average per year in a residential home. The advantage is that neither does the customer has to wait for hot water but also they do not have to pay the cost of continually recirculating that hot water.
To know more about how HVAC is reshaping today’s technology trends, stay tuned to our latest articles and blogs!

What effect did woodblock printing have on Chinese society?

What effect did woodblock printing have on Chinese society?

From the Song Dynasty onwards, woodblock printing became increasingly widespread in Chinese society. Used for official documents and in land sales, commercial activities and traditional customs, woodblock printing came to form an integral part of many government, business and social activities.

Who invented woodblock printing?

Woodblock Printing. Early Chinese people wrote records on silk or bamboo however each of these was expensive and difficult to produce. Paper was first invented in China during the Han dynasty around 105 AD by a government worker called Cai Lun. He developed a way to make paper using the bark of trees and rags of cloth.

What wood is best for woodblock printing?

The best wood to use as a beginner is birch plywood. It is cheap, but still has a nice surface to work with. Regular birch, pine and poplar are also great for block printing. I like to use poplar because it’s soft and I love the look of its porous surface.

How did paper money impact the world?

What famous inventions came from China?

Gunpowder, paper, printing, and the compass are sometimes called the Four Great Inventions of Ancient China. Kites were first used as a way for the army to signal warnings. Umbrellas were invented for protection from the sun as well as the rain.

How has paper changed the world?

It is said that once Europeans embraced paper, they created the world’s first heavy industry. And it has continued to grow, from the invention of threshing machines to break down plant cellulose, to bleaches and other chemicals developed to make paper less costly to make.

Why is paper so useful?

It is a versatile material with many uses, including printing, packaging, decorating, writing, cleaning, filter paper, wallpaper, book endpaper, conservation paper, laminated worktops, toilet tissue, currency and security paper and a number of industrial and construction processes.

What if paper was never invented?

Negative impact if we didn’t have paper We would not have a clean lifestyle. We would have too many trees overgrazing the land. There would be no use in pencils or pens. We wouldn’t have some of the famous artwork we have today.

How does paper affect the environment?

The life cycle of paper is damaging to the environment from beginning to end. It starts off with a tree being cut down and ends its life by being burned – emitting carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. When paper rots, it emits methane, a greenhouse gas. When it is burned or composted, carbon dioxide.

Why Recycling paper is bad?

Recycling paper reduces the demand for trees and so fewer will be planted. As paper decomposes in the ground it produces methane, which is a powerful greenhouse gas. On balance it seems that recycling paper is still much better than producing it from fresh pulp.

Is paper environmentally friendly?

Paper is biodegradable; this is because is made from wood and as we all know plant materials are biodegradable. Paper can even be recycled up to 6-7 times before the paper fibers breakdown to much to be turned in to paper.

Is woodfree paper environmentally friendly?

What is Woodfree paper? Simply put, in this particular paper the wood pulp has been bleached to remove the yellow lignin. *Paper that is FSC® is taken from sustainable well managed forests in Europe and is completely recyclable and biodegradable.

What is the most eco friendly paper?

What is the difference between coated and uncoated paper?

Coated paper lets the ink settle on the surface, thanks to which the colour is deep and vibrant. Uncoated paper absorbs the ink, which makes the colour dull and not as prominent. The difference will be minor but nevertheless noticeable for light colours.

What is woodfree paper made of?

Woodfree papers (also called freesheet) are made from wood, but do not contain wood. The wood is chemically treated to release lignin and produce pulp that is nearly pure cellulose. Lignin is essentially the glue that holds the cellulose fibers together in the tree.

How thick is 450gsm paper?

What is coated groundwood paper?

Coated Groundwood – Mechanical papers other than newsprint, made with substantial proportions of mechanical pulp, coated with clay or a similar substance and used for printing and converting.

What is coated freesheet paper?

Coated Freesheet – Paper free of mechanical wood pulp or paper made from pulps having a high freeness (the rate at which water drains from a stock suspension through a wire mesh screen or a perforated plate) coated with clay or a similar substance and used for printing and converting.

What is free sheet paper?

Freesheet papers, coated or uncoated, are made from the chemical process that breaks apart the fibers and dissolves impurities. They are “free” of groundwood or mechanical pulp. By definition, freesheet papers can contain no more than 10% mechanical pulp, and most contain none.

What is uncoated freesheet paper used for?

Uncoated free sheet paper provides better writing and printing surface with high ink retention capability relative to coated free sheet paper used for writing and printing applications.

How is lined paper made?

Q0004. Soulmate?

Through a medium I found out that the person I feel is the person who belongs to me and who I would like to share everything with is my soulmate. I have intense feelings for him, but I don’t have the impression that this is the other way around. Can the love of soulmates be one-sided or has that person just not discovered it or does it stop? I am married to someone else, that person is still single.

The love between soulmates is not one-sided. Both the one and the other must come to the discovery or come to the realization that there is ‘something’ between one and the other. This discovery can be made very difficult by personal blockages such as traumas from your life that have not been processed properly. There is also the free will. Even though the other person has discovered or realizes that something very special is going on between you, that person can decide for nothing to do nothing with it. (Here I speak from personal experience). Another aspect of soul love is that when you start to experience it (both), it is very confronting with yourself, not everyone wants or can handle that confrontation with themselves. That may be a reason for someone to choose to shut themselves off from soul love. In summary, I do not believe that love can be one-sided because that love has somehow already existed in a previous life. But there are enough reasons why someone would not want to surrender to it.

Hi! Unfortunately I can only give my confirmation on the previous answer. I have had a relationship with my soul love, but I was a mirror to him. I confronted him with his deepest feelings, past (things he buried deeply) and that made him feel oppressed. He has a . behind the relationship, but to this day I cannot let go. But he blocks every contact; I can’t get through it. Now my feeling is so strongly developed that I have the strong feeling that he experiences the same. But when will he admit that?

Han So-hee put on 10kg to play undercover agent

In action noir K-drama My Name, actress Han So-hee steps into the shoes of a young woman named Ji-woo, who is seeking revenge for her dead father. She stars alongside veteran actors such as Park Hee-soon, who plays a drug cartel boss.

Here are five things to know about the new series which premieres on Friday on Netflix.

The gritty thriller centres on the murder of Ji-woo's father, which she witnesses without seeing the perpetrator's face. She goes to her father's old friend - underworld boss Moo-jin (Park) - and seeks his help to take revenge. Under his direction, she infiltrates the police force with a new identity.

Han, 26, says: "She had to witness her father's death at a very young age and she had no other choice except the path she took, so my heart aches for her. But her level of determination and the strength she carries is unparalleled."

Park, 51, says: "When Moo-jin gives his trust to someone, he gives it all the way. There's a chilling charisma to him, but he doesn't give anyone a second chance."

Han, known for roles like the heiress in The World Of The Married (2020) and an art student caught in a complicated relationship in the recent Nevertheless, does an about-turn with My Name.

To look believable as a tough fighter, she put on 10kg and trained for her action scenes three months in advance of filming. The series has sparked her interest in kickboxing as well.

Director Kim Jin-min recalls approaching Han for the role: "I told her, 'You will have many chances to play beautiful roles, but this may be a rare opportunity for you to do something really physical and harsh.'"

Han adds: "I saw My Name as something that will make me grow as an actor. I wanted to break the limitations and image people had of me through my previous roles."

Most of the action scenes were undertaken by the actors themselves.

Han says she underestimated the difficulty of the training.

"At first, I thought I'd be able to pull it off easily, but after my first day, I realised there's no way to fake the fight scenes - they just won't come out well.

"I had to have good choreography with each of my scene partners. I was very worried about hurting people if I didn't practise enough."

Park adds: "There are no wires or computer graphics in our action scenes. It's very physical - you take someone by the hair and throw him on the floor."

To prepare for their roles, the cast looked to movies, both recent and classic, for inspiration.

Han watched the Charlize Theron-led films Atomic Blonde (2017) and The Old Guard (2020). "There were a lot of long-take action scenes and they also featured a female lead defeating men using fists or knives," she says.

Park turned to The Godfather (1972 to 1990) gangster film trilogy.

"I rewatched the classic to get into the mindset of a mafia boss."

Ahn Bo-hyun (Yumi's Cells, 2021), 33, plays a police colleague of Ji-woo's. Asked why audiences should watch My Name, he says: "It's different from the existing noir series and undercover agent genres. We have a strong female lead who performs all her action scenes so perfectly."
