"Certification bar" -- stops petitions for a decertification election from being filed for one (1) year after a union wins an NLRB conducted election. "Contract bar" -- holds that petitions for a decertification election cannot be filed during the first three (3) years of a collective bargaining agreement, except for during a certain 30-day "window period." "Window period" -- for 30-days filing a decertification petition with the NLRB occurs 60 to 90 days "prior to" the expiration date or 3 year anniversary of the contract, whichever comes first. In the health care industry (such as hospitals), the 30-day "window period" occurs 90 to 120 days "before" the expiration date of the contract, or after the 3 year anniversary of that contract (if not expired), whichever comes first. "Contract expired" -- a decertification petition can also be filed anytime after a contract expires or becomes more than 3 years old. "Successor contract" -- if your employer and the union enter into a successor contract, the new contract will begin another 3 year "contract bar" on decertification elections. Thus, if you miss the "window period" for filing a petition for a decertification election, you may have to wait for another 3 years to request a decertification election.

Summary: Check for National Labor Relations Board rules for a decertification election or barring these such as the:

Rice cookers are the most common tool to keep your rice warm, since you most likely used one to cook your rice in the first place. Each rice cooker cooks rice differently, so just follow the cooking instructions that it came with. Once your rice is cooked, just switch the function from "cook" to "keep warm." It should be able to keep your rice warm for 2 to 3 hours. Rice left warming in a rice cooker past the 2 to 3 hours will begin to become gummy or even stick to the rice cooker and burn. It will still be edible, but the quality may drastically decrease. Just do not leave it warming longer than a day in the rice cooker as it can start to grow bacteria. Not all rice cookers will have a warming function. So make sure that yours does ahead of time. The rice cooker will slowly remove moisture from the cooked rice. So adding water will help prevent your cooked rice from drying out, and add moisture back into the cooked rice. Scale up with the water amount depending on how much cooked rice you have prepared. This will keep the rice at the bottom of the pot from sticking and burning. If the rice seems to be getting dry, then add 1 tablespoon (15mL) of water at a time until the rice looks moist again. How moist you want your rice is purely up to you and your preference. Rice cookers can have varying temperature levels preset for the warming function. So if this is your first time using the warming function, try and check on the rice every 15 minutes to make sure the rice is not burning.

Summary: Cook your rice as you normally would in your rice cooker. Keep your rice cooker on and switch it to its "keep warm" function. Add 1 tablespoon (15mL) of water per cup of cooked rice. Stir the rice every 15 to 30 minutes, and add more water if needed.

Before you can start installing the acrylic print with standoff bolts, decide where you'd like to place it on the wall. If the acrylic print is large, have someone help you. Position the acrylic print on the wall where you'd like it to be placed and use a level to make sure all of the sides are even. For large prints, have the second person hold the acrylic print up against the wall while you use the level, or vice versa. When you order an acrylic print from a company, they should have drilled holes into the acrylic print in each of the corners for you. After the print is positioned on the wall, use a pencil to trace the edges of each pre-drilled hole so that you'll know where to place the anchors. You should end up with 4 circles on the wall. If you're installing a large acrylic print, have one person hold the print up against the wall while you trace the holes. You can put the acrylic print down once you've finished tracing the holes. The circles that you outlined are where you'll place each anchor. Use a drill to drill in each anchor, making sure they're flush against the wall. If your acrylic print didn't come with anchors, you can purchase drywall anchors at a home improvement store or online. Standoff bolts come in 2 main pieces. Unscrew the standoff cover and set it down for safe keeping this is the smaller of the 2 main pieces. Take the base of the standoff bolt, or the larger piece, and put a wall screw through it so that it's ready to be installed into the wall. Standoff bolts should come with your acrylic print if you ordered this type of installment. Position the base of the standoff against the wall, right on top of the anchor. Using the wall screw that you slid through the base, drill the base into the wall. Make sure that it's nice and tight against the wall so that it can support the weight of the acrylic print. Repeat this process with all of the other standoff bases, making sure they're all drilled into the wall snugly. Position the acrylic print onto the wall, lining up the bolts where the pre-drilled holes are in the acrylic print. Have someone else hold the acrylic print on the wall so that you're free to attach the covers, or vice versa. The standoff bolts should come with slim, clear protective washers. Place those on the standoff caps before screwing them into the bases. When screwing in the caps, don't tighten them completely. Use a level to make sure that your acrylic print is straight, and make any necessary adjustments. Once you're satisfied with the position of the print, tighten the standoff caps so that they won't come undone.
Summary: Position the acrylic print on the wall and make sure it's level. Mark the 4 pre-drilled holes using a pencil. Drill the anchors into the wall where the circles are drawn. Unscrew the standoff bolt and slide the wall screw through the base. Use a drill to attach the standoff bolt to the wall. Place the acrylic print on the wall using the bases to line it up. Put on the protective washers and screw the caps into the bases. Check to make sure the print is level and tighten the caps.
