Navy facts for kids
The navy is the part of a country's military that fights on water using boats. People in the navy are called sailors. The navy is mostly made up of warships. It may also have its own air force and soldiers. It may have special boats that can go underwater, called submarines, or another kind of special boat that is meant to carry airplanes, called aircraft carriers.
Originally, Naval war was fought by ramming other ships and then boarding them. In Ancient Greece and Rome, the ships were usually powered by oars. Then, during the Middle Ages, the cannon was invented. These could be shot at other ships from a great distance. Ships around this time also began to use sails instead of oars for power. In the 1800s, ships began to be plated in armor for protection. Steam engines allowed them move while carrying the armor, and better ones soon made them much faster. These early warships, called ironclads, are thought to have begun the type of Naval warfare used today. Ships soon became much larger.

Bunnies Be Gone! Three Natural Solutions For Rabbits In The Garden
Posted on: 4 March 2015
The cottontail rabbit may be adorable as he hops across the yard, but when he sets his sights on your garden you may suddenly see him with new eyes. These cute little bunnies have a voracious appetite and aren't opposed to chowing down on your garden. Keeping them out can be difficult, but not impossible. Try these natural methods for wildlife control this summer.
One of the easiest ways to prevent rabbits from nibbling your veggies is to keep them from getting into the garden in the first place.

Power. Control. Authority. Everybody needs to feel like they have the capability to assert their own opinion and have it be respected and—depending on the circumstance—yielded to. In one's personal life, for example, being a parent gives you authority. In one's professional life, however, you can feel unempowered, especially when you're not the boss.
This does not make for a happy employee. A person who feels like they have no say begins to feel inferior, undervalued, not important. And productivity takes a dive. Employees feel like they should be able to have some control over some aspect of their job, no matter how trivial. Believe it or not, this even goes for how their office is decorated. If they come to work and hate the color of the walls the moment they sit down, it's a guarantee you're not going to get their best performance.
So what décor factors make a happier, more productive employee?
Companies put in a lot of time and research as to what colors would be best for their website presence. It should be the same in the office. A lot of employees have gray cubicles to work in every day. Gray is considered a color of intellect and wisdom; however, studies have shown that the color gray makes people feel depressed and isolated, explains Empower-Yourself-With-Color-Psychology.com. If you sit in a gray office all day, you probably don't care about anything but getting out of there. So paint the office!
Blue has a calming effect on people and green lowers anxiety and is easy on the eyes. These are colors that inspire employees and improve their attitudes about their job, states Chron. While yellow, orange and red have been shown to be stimulating, they can get to be a bit much. Plus, red can bring out anger and orange can make you hungry. Dark colors can depress employees, as well.
Ask your employees what color they would like their walls painted, and see the difference in their job performance.
Whoever thought gray cubicles were a positive influence on an employee's workspace clearly has never worked in one. It may be a tough change cost-wise, but companies should seriously consider doing away with them. Employees need to feel like they have room. Think about a trapped animal. All it wants to do is flee, so why would it be different for an employee?
Along with the gray cubicles comes the inevitable florescent lighting. Studies have shown florescent lighting to be the cause of many health ailments in the workplace such as migraines, stress, problems sleeping and lack of energy. Now you have a depressed employee that has migraines and can't sleep at night. Not the greatest prescription for top performance.
The fix is simple. Put an employee's workspace next to a window for natural lighting. Make the windows feel homey by installing drapes, light solar shades or mesh shades that provide glare control, save energy and slash costs. All three of these are viable solutions that will provide an employee subliminal comfort and help produce top-quality work.
It may sound crazy, but plants have been shown to raise productivity, improve attendance and increase job satisfaction. Anything nature-oriented has a soothing effect on a person. When people get back to nature, they're doing it to relax; if your employees have a plant in their office, it will do the same thing. Putting it simply, plants make you feel better.
Home Design
No matter where you are, it's always more comfortable if it feels like home. When employees have framed pictures of the grandkids on their desk or have certificates for "You're the greatest mom!" hanging on the wall, they feel much more peaceful and empowered. Any little bit helps, as the saying goes.
So now you know: an employee-decorated office makes for a happy employee, which in turn makes for better productivity and company worth. It's time that employers let their staff take charge of their personal workspace. At worst, you'll be stuck with unattractive offices. At best, you will be able to count on happy employees that are ready to do their job well.
A plant and some paint is a small price to pay for that.

Welcome to Creative Mama, where mamas can connect with their creativity and with their kids, to find meaning in mamahood.
Welcome to Creative Mama, where mamas can connect with their creativity and with their kids, to find meaning in mamahood.
Dinosaurs, digging and tools are a few of my boys' favourite things. So, when they discovered how to create mini ice excavations to free frozen dinosaurs, it was NEXT LEVEL!
This STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) and sensory play has since become the kids' favourite activity not only because it's fun and easy to do but it also helps them to focus on something engaging, quickly. There is nothing quite like hammering away at blocks of ice to unwind and release energy – for both kids and parents!
Now, we always keep an ice tray full of frozen creatures. Preferably, near the ice packs for injuries in our freezer. What is the method behind the madness? When the kids (or I) feel grumpy or get a bump, we quite literally break ice as an 'ice-breaker' and a distraction from the stinging pain of cold ice pack on owie!
In fact, experts advise the art of distraction is often effective to help calm kids down, especially when they are hurting or need to let go of tension. Now, even the kids' play-dates request this fun, easy and engaging activity when they come over. A win-win for everyone :) Learn how we do it, below.
Invite the kids to place a creature figure in each open space of the ice tray. Then, help them to pour water into each space and put the ice tray in the freezer. When the water has frozen, remove the ice tray from the freezer and extract the ice blocks onto a large surface (preferably on the ground, outside). Then, let the kids excavate away at the ice blocks with their toy tools to free the fossilized bugs or dinosaurs! Another option is to use water sprays to slowly melt the ice blocks. My kids also like to find different things to freeze to keep it interesting, such as tiny trinkets and water beads.
Not only is this activity an effective distraction and releases energy, it also develops skills such as:
PLAYDOUGH Rainbow Fish
'Scientists have recently determined that it takes approximately 400 repetitions to create a new synapse in the brain - unless it is done with play, in which case, it takes between 10-20 repetitions' - Dr Karyn Purvis
So, when this play-based activity to combine a beautiful story with playdough, hands-on learning and real-life experiences came along, we swam towards it! This Playdough Rainbow Fish is fun, easy to create and perfect for extending the kids' understanding of friendship.
What we use:
Let's create!
After reading and reflecting on The Rainbow Fish story and it's beautiful illustrations, we get creative with the playdough! The kids flatten a ball of playdough using their hands or a rolling pin and cut out a fish shape with a plastic knife or a cookie cutter. All that's left is to place the googly eye on the fish and adorn it with sequins for scales, before it's time for some fun learning! Ideas include counting all the same coloured scales on the fish, standing the scales up on their side and then flat on the fish, creating a pattern of scales such as row of blue scales and then a row of red scales.
Connect and inspire...
The kids develop language and conversation skills as we discuss the underlying messages of how we can share, learn to give and be friendly in The Rainbow Fish. Taking the kids to experience an aquarium also reinforces their understanding of the many real and beautiful fish in the sea. Apart from using their imagination to create colourful patterns on their rainbow fish, the kids learn fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination and control.
In addition, the kids learn math concepts such as counting and experimenting with size and area. Using creative methods to learn math extends problem-solving skills in exciting ways. To learn more about STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math), please read Fun Marble Runs!
What are some other creative ideas in response to The Rainbow Fish story? Creative Mama Joanna recently created a colourfully crafted fish book with her son and we shared it on the Creative Mama Community on Facebook!
Painting with Marbles
Painting with Marbles is an art activity for your kids that is super simple to set-up and do - again and again! So it can get a little messy...but the end result - a colourful and abstract piece of art - is totally worth it!
It's also a fun indoor play idea that combines art with movement, for kids who like to be active! This activity even encourage kids to apply basic creative skills as part of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths (STEAM) concepts into their play - what's not to love about it?!
To learn more about STEAM, go to Fun Marble Runs.
Drop a marble into each section of the muffin tray. Using a spoon, coat the marble with paint and then transfer it to the paper in the shallow dish. Lift the dish and tilt it from side to side so that the paint covered marbles roll around and leave trails of paint, creating interesting and colourful patterns on the paper.
Depending on how much the kids are enjoying the marble painting process, more marbles can be added and can be rolled around the paper to blend colours, creating new colours and designs. Or, you can replace the painted paper with a fresh one and create multiple marble paintings for framing, along side each other. A little messy play is sometimes worth all the effort!
I would love for you to share your experiences in the comments section below and any photos you might have taken of your kids cool creations!
For some more creative STEAM activities, go to Amazing Mazes and Sensory Play with Light.
CREATE your own Wrapping Paper
Giving a gift that is wrapped in paper that the kids made themselves has always made them feel great.
There is also an additional sense of pride in creating something that is useful and meaningful.
Over the years, it has become a tradition leading up to Christmas to make our own Christmas wrapping paper but this activity is fun to do for Easter and birthday presents as well.
Pour a small amount of different coloured paint onto some trays and place the stamps, sponge shapes or cookie cutters on top of the paint. Stamp these shapes all over the white paper and repeat until the paper is covered with cheerful Christmas colours and shapes. After the paper has dried, it is ready for wrapping Christmas gifts with ribbon.
Optional - For some extra bling, squeeze some glitter glue or sprinkle glitter on some clag and onto the wrapping paper.
My kids enjoy getting actively messy with the paints and stamps, whilst creating their personalised pieces of wrapping paper. This is also an opportune time for the kids to learn to share the stamps and paint trays amongst themselves. Mamas can enjoy hanging the kids' home-made wrapping paper up to dry and then help the kids wrap the pressies.

Here comes the taxman! (Williamstown loses)
Posted by PTC under All Things EphBlog, Housing, Spending at 2:05 pm
The Senate has passed a federal tax increase on private universities and colleges such as Williams.
I have always argued that local governance should get more revenue from Williams either through a PILOT and/or a tax on real estate holdings. Dormitories and common eating/ food sales spaces compete with the local economy (rentals and restaurants). They should be subject to local property taxation.
Williams and Williamstown are inseparable, and as such, Williams relies heavily on things such as local schools, waste management, police, and fire. Williams relies on the adaptability of the local planning board to make space for growth, and the relative lopsidedness of zoning permits. Who can build and where is a college function in the cultural district.
As we like to say, "Rock, paper, college." Not that there is anything wrong with that!
That said, the federal taxation of a place like Williams when compared to the benefit of federal tax reform on the townie (working class) populations in a place like Williamstown is inequitable. When one compares the relative economic cost (the opportunity cost) of what this federal income tax will take from Williams/ Williamstown when compared to the local benefit with regards to the local burden on working people- this is a bad deal for Williamstown Townies! Local real estate taxation has skyrocketed in the last eight years. This is not going to help Williamstown's affordability crisis…

As far as I can tell the endowment tax did not make the final cut. Nevertheless it is a good sign that a large number of Republican Senators supported the idea, no doubt because it undercuts a key lefitst, Democrat party constituency which is overwhelmingly hostile to Republicans.
Senate passes GOP tax bill after nixing Toomey endowment tax change
As long as colleges and universities are going to practice discrimination against whites, Asians, Christians and conservatives, I don't have any problem at all with efforts to reduce or eliminate their wealth. The alumni that funded these massive endowments would most likely take their money back if they saw how contemporary academic leaders are spending the fruits of their labor.

Do you even read the articles to which you cite? The Toomey amendment stripped from the bill (described in the article that you cited) is a provision that allegedly "would aid only only school, Hillsdale College in Michigan." Specifically, it was a provision that would have caused the endowment tax not to apply to Hillsdale College.
From my very limited research, the Senate's version of the endowment tax, which was included in the bill, is 1.4% and would apply to "[o]nly private colleges with at least 500 students and endowments valued at more than $500,000 per student." I think that there are around 30 schools, including Williams, that fit that definition.

It does make life easy. No need for civics and such in Williamstown.

Some students choose to defer their place at university and take a gap year. This can be for a variety of reasons: possibly to travel, to gain work experience, to volunteer or undertake charity work, to earn money, to broaden horizons and develop life experiences or possibly because students are still unsure of what course to take.
There are many different organizations which facilitate gap years both in this country and throughout the world. There are also a host of websites students are access.
Work experience or voluntary work undertaken during a gap year will enhance a student's life skills, levels of confidence, independence and financial capabilities, especially if living away from home. Students will acquire transferable skills useful for future courses and careers. Using part of a gap year for travel abroad will broaden the mind, promote independence and decision making and overall personal development.

A horde of villagers are fleeing. First one way than the other. They are fleeing their village which is being looted by Taranto and his horde. Then they come upon Groo and flee from him. One enterprising villager comes up with a plan to use Groo to drive Taranto from their village. The villagers act friendly and after much cajoling convince Groo to attack Taranto.
So Groo charges into the village and Taranto puts on his phony friend act and gets Groo a feast. Groo is about to ask for wine but Taranto thinks that Groo has figured out his scheme and flees with his horde. So Taranto is planning his next move when they come upon Kayli. Now Taranto has heard the story she is supposed to be rich and looking for her father. He tries to impersonate her father but Kayli is too smart. Kayli eventually gets rescued by the parents of her little dragon friend. Groo eventually wakes up from his nap and thinks that he defeated Taranto. Kayli thanks Groo and continues on her way.
Taranto is a general of a brigand horde. He is always pretending to be Groo's friend then trying to kill him. Of course his dealings with Groo always end in disaster and this meeting was no different. Kayli is a pretty good judge of character and very smart. I am looking forward to meeting her father.

Hedging Inventory Part One – How, Why and Why Not?
This article originally appeared on the Commodity Risk Control website.
Inventory hedging is the orphan of the commodity price risk management business. The source of more diametrically opposed opinions and different practices than any other topic, it makes us wonder where to begin. At the beginning, of course, but hold onto your hats it is a twisting and rather long ride! We will be following up with a second blog on the more nitty-gritty issues of, variable quotational periods, hedge roll-overs, use of discretion and accounting treatment, so watch this space.
If you start a metals processing business and hedge all your purchases and sales of metal units until you close or sell the business, you will clearly offset all your economic risk from fluctuating metal prices. In contrast, if you are a primary producer or end-consumer, you have either metal revenues or costs, so, in order to cover your economic risk, you only need hedge one or the other for settlement at the time the sale or purchase event takes place. Very straightforward, you would think.
But not so straightforward for our accountant friends. Hedging produces cash flow which is supposed to offset the cash flows from purchases and sales, but inventory does not flow anywhere, it just stays put and accountants insist it gets regularly revalued by marking it to market, with unexpected consequences for stating income. If you keep a purchase hedged after it turns into inventory, the hedge kind of trips over itself on its settlement date and must be rolled forward, while the inventory just stays in place – which, if it is permanent inventory, could be forever. The value of the inventory can be offset easily enough by the opposite valuation of the open forward hedge, so economic neutrality is preserved, but what happens to cash flow?
This is the problem – at this moment commercial, accounting and hedging treatments all part company and give rise to very unpredictable consequences. This is not the moment for a lecture in accounting, but to simplify, you can see that hedges which have to be settled and re-opened at different market prices produce differently timed cash flows and accounting treatment than physical goods which flow through inventory valuation and cost of goods sold into revenue.
In a rapidly falling market this often causes a financial bonanza because hedges are settled at lower prices with positive cash flow occurring earlier than the offsetting negative commercial cash flow of high priced purchases going through inventory into low priced sales. In a rising market the reverse is true and for a low margin, high commodity value processor the negative effect on working capital and income statements can be very nasty indeed. The risks are still economically offset, but you wouldn't know it from looking at your bank accounts and income statements.
The financial impact of contangos and backwardations on inventory hedge rollovers can be significant too, both negative and beneficial, but that is a story for Part Two.
One simple answer, which ticked all the boxes in the old days, before accountants discovered marked-to-market inventory valuation, was invented by Norddeutsche Affinerie (now Aurubis), which pioneered the asset valuation of "eisenstock" – permanent inventory – at original purchase values as basic equity capital. NA only permitted the hedging of inventory fluctuations that rose above the basic level – which they rightly considered a true cash flow risk.
Even though auditors now don't generally allow cost-based valuation of permanent commodity inventory components, many companies still follow this principle of only hedging fluctuating, but not basic stocks. Some processors who have fixed price forward sales have even argued successfully with their auditors against the year-end write-downs for permanent inventory, which hit the income statement, because the inventory valuation at high cost is covered by these high priced forward sales. A regular battle with auditors is a consistent by-product of inventory hedging.
Another solution for a cash flow crunch and income statement timing distortion is to aim only to have permanent inventory fully hedged when prices are going down. Wishful thinking you may say, and some companies have blown themselves up doing this by reversing hedges indiscriminately and with too short a time horizon. However, since commodity prices broadly track long-term cyclical patterns, other companies, which followed a disciplined policy of having permanent inventory 25% hedged in the estimated bottom quartile of the cycle up to 75% hedged in the estimated top quartile, have done significantly better than those who blindly have left permanent inventory fully hedged or totally unhedged all the time.
In most of commodity price risk management the principles are simple, and the mechanics are complicated. With inventory hedging the principles are complicated too. There is no universal best practice. To be successful over time, companies must be prepared to separate fluctuating inventory levels, which should be covered as regular cash flow hedges, and permanent hedges, which need a disciplined professional discretionary approach.
Clear hedging policy and consistent hedge accounting procedures supported by a control system with accurate focused reports are mandatory for successfully hedging inventory, together with expert guidance and risk modeling. We have guided many metal inventory hedgers through this maze and we encourage you to contact us with your questions.POSTED: 2017-11-23

CitaceEIGHT EPISODES. Yes! I know, I know, it may not seem like enough for you, but creatively, it's the right call. The episodes can be tight, action-packed, rich in character and story, without lagging in the middle of the season. Sounds good to me, sound good to you?
Citace2020. Who knows?! We're moving quickly ahead with everything -- like, my head is spinning around Exorcist-style, except with enthusiasm, not evil possession -- but one thing is certain: quality comes before speed. You'll get it as soon as humanly possible, and it'll be good.
CitaceTHE SCRIPT NEEDS POLISHED. I'd take a step back from that to say: the scripts need WRITTEN. I've finished the pilot, which yes, will be polished more when we cast/shoot. The other 7 episodes don't yet exist, except in my head. And guess what? New writers are joining me soon, too!
CitaceWE'LL BE SHOOTING IN EASTERN EUROPE. Yes! This show couldn't exist anyplace else. Period. Also, I just spent ten days surrounded by Slavic eye-candy. I MUST come back, soon.

The Analysis of the Recent Improvement on Consumers Protection Level
Anna Rita Freda
European Institutions took on the task of harmonizing the national laws to achieve a minimum level of European Private Law construction, to be functional to the internal market implementation.This study aims to go into the simultaneous presence of two instruments for Contractual Law harmonization (mainly referred to consumption contracts) and evaluate any impact on national systems and the effectiveness of the results, taking into account the recent improvement on Consumers protection level and the attention paid to the small and medium enterprise.The first instrument is Directive 2011/83UE on Consumer Rights, the second one is the Proposal for Regulation of a Common European Sales Law COM(2011) 635 def.Considering the different legal effectiveness of the two instruments, the paper means to examine: a) the legal basis of intervention through the Regulation, in relation to what indicated by TFEU articles 114 and 352; b) the combined methods of action of the two instruments, one (law deriving from the Directive) being a transposition law of each member country, the other one (the Regulation) as a uniform instrument, but optional; c) the combined methods of action of the two instruments in relation to the Vienna Convention on Sales of Goods (GISG 1980).

Mid Murray Family Connections collective impact project wins recognition from Local Government Professionals SA
The Mid Murray Family Connections Collective Impact initiative has won a Partnerships and Collaborations Award from Local Government Professionals Australia SA for its work helping developmentally vulnerable children.
The award is the culmination of six years of hard work by 60 partner organisations and the Mid Murray Council, all in an effort to improve the life and future for local children from birth through to age eight - and improve that they have.
In 2012 the Australian Early Development Census found that 32.4 per cent of local children were developmentally vulnerable in multiple areas.
The recently released 2018 figures show a drop to 10.7pc - one third of the original rate, compared to the SA average of 13pc and the national average of 11pc.
Mid Murray Mayor Dave Burgess said the award was further recognition of the effort and dedication of hundreds of people in the community to significant change.
"Council and our partners have been heavily focused on addressing the challenges within our community affecting children's development, and to see the substantial results of this project is rewarding for all parties involved," he said.
"We want our region to be a great place for families to live and for their children to grow up in, so we are committed to ensuring they have access to the support services and education they need to give them the best start to life.
"Some of the work which was completed by the MMFC included giving over 150 participants 'wellbeing sessions', creating online educational resources for families, raised awareness and money to combat domestic violence and ran children's mental health workshops."
Mid Murray community services director Amy Loechel said the project's diverse activities and outreach initiatives had been key to its success.
She added that the project had been a huge challenge due to the number of issues presented within it, including health, mental wellbeing, physical activity, education and safety; and that all of these issues needed individual, tailored solutions.

The "Investing" page is dedicated to being one of the Keys to Success. Here you will learn the various investments I have done over the years of my life that I believed helped me become successful. This page will go over many investments options such as Life Insurance, Stocks, Index Funds, and Annuities. This page will also discuss how to keep your money moving, so that you are not just saving, but also growing your portfolio if investments.
Life Insurance
You might think "hey he is biased, because he is an insurance agent." Anyone can think in however context they want. However, the simple truth is I had a life insurance policy years before I even became an agent. My biggest mistake was I got a Universal Life, which is good, but a Indexed Universal Life (IUL) plan. The reason why is that my current plan is growing around 2% interest, plus fees. Whereas the IUL would be growing much more interest.
I could go one and on about the different types of Life Insurance Policies and I will probably have more information on the different types in my blog. I want the emphasis of this section on just recommending everyone get a life insurance of some sort. I cannot stress the important of having one enough! You really have to think in this context: what in the world would you do if something happened to you? Really think about it. What if you got in a major accident, what if you got killed in this accident, or what if you got cancer, a tumor, etc.? Would you be able to continue paying payments on your mortgage or have burial money for those who have to bury you? That is where a life insurance policy comes in. If anything were to happen to you, these least a policy could do is pay for your burial expenses.
I am not an expert in stocks. I am not advising anyone either. Simply put, you should avoid stocks, unless you know what you are doing. I like to think of stocks as something for those who have extra money to blow. Some people like to spend their money on alocohol, going out to eat, splurging on god knows what. I on the other hand, when I have extra money I like to buy stocks. It used to be hard to find out which company to buy your stock from since every company is different and charges differently.
Not everyone is going to be happy paying fees here and there for something they might not even know what they are paying for. Stocks are already confusing as it is! If you are not wanting to making a killing right away, you might want to invest in some safe companies that might grow your money over time. I for one like stock that either 1) has a high yield dividend or 2) has a habit of going up and down in value. For example, Marvell goes up and down at times. Most recently, it was at $20.64 a few days ago. Today it is hovering around $18.85. Now would be the best time to buy since it has gone down a couple of bucks. They have recently been progessing over time and it is worth the buy, knowing they have been growing.
The most important question you might be thinking is who do I use to buy this stock? I contemplate a lot about my money. I don't like to have it wasted. So, the company I chose was Robinhood. They do not charge me for ordering stocks, have some buying features that allow you to buy twice the amount of shares, and the best part is when you sign up, they give you a free stock! I missed out on the free stock oppurtunity, but you shouldn't! Visit them today: https://share.robinhood.com/anastam96
Index Funds
I have not been a big fan of index funds and do not own any. However, it does not mean you shouldn't own any. Depending on which one you get, it can make you a ton of cash! However, I am not advising anyone to dive into this. This is something you want to get into if you have extra cash lying around. Spend your beer money on this and possibly double that beer money! Do not use your life savings on something like this. You have a ton of options to earn money with your money and this is not one of them.
Annuities are like a safe bet. You want your money to grow a little over the years? Perhaps you do not have a retirement plan and do not expect much from social security. Either way, an annuity can get you the extra money during retirement you may have not had otherwise. Through the Life Insurance company I work with, we offer annutiies. If you are ever interested in one, pleae comment here and i'll get back to you!
Keep Your Money Moving
Real Estate
Real Estate is one of those gigs that you can make a lot of money or lose a lot of money! You are better off if you can become a realtor! Selling other peoples home is much better than hoping to sell your own. Unless of course you are a millionaire, than in that case buy a whole 12 pack at Costco (no Costco does not sell 12 packs of houses)!
If you are not a realtor or for whatever reason you just can't get licensed, you can always buy a house, rent it or resell it for a profit. If you rent it, there are many options. You can either rent it yourself or turn it into a hotel! If you want a hotel type of system, you can always use Airbnb. Airbnb allows someone to rent an entire home or even a bed to someone for a fee. Check them out here: http://www.airbnb.com/r/anastaciom55
I wnt everyone to know that this is not for everyone and you have to balance out the bad with the good. I have been using an app called "Turo" for a few years now. While I have made some pretty good extra cash, it is not the most lucrative side hustle I have had. What is nice is that it has helped for me to pay my monthly car payments for each car I have.

Down by 11 points in the second half, the Greyhounds used a slow and steady comeback to force overtime, then scored 13 points in the extra period for an 80-75 victory in the NJCAA Region 2 Championship Game against North Arkansas College. The win gives the Greyhounds their fourth Region title in the last six years, and third consecutive after moving on to last year's National Tournament and placing fifth.
ASU Mid-South (22-8) now moves on to play the Region 16 Champion, North Central Missouri College (17-12), in Trenton, Missouri, on Saturday, March 9. North Arkansas College ends the season with a 20-11 record.
The Greyhounds led 32-30 at the half behind 9 points each from Jalen Lynn and Kamron Rose, but NorthArk took control early in the second half with a 13-2 run and led 43-34 with 14:15 left in regulation. But the home team kept chipping away at the lead as Kamron Rose and Garret Finley scored a combined 14 points while Shaheed Halk knocked down a couple of three-pointers to bring ASU Mid-South within one possession, trailing 65-62 with 3:56 left.
With both teams knowing the other well in this third meeting of the season, the defenses took over for the next three minutes until Kenny Chambers hit a jumper with 56.5 on the clock to give the Pioneers a 67-62 lead. Jalen Lynn then drove the paint and was fouled, and his two free throws pulled the Greyhounds within 67-64, and Chambers was fouled with 31.3 seconds left, sending him to the free throw line. Hitting 6-of-7 from the line at this point in the game and shooting 71% on the season, it looked bleak for the Greyhounds, but Chambers missed both and the Greyhounds got the ball to Lynn who was fouled shooting a three-pointer with 18.8 seconds on the clock. While the ball bounced high and drew the rim twice, it did not fall through, so Lynn calmly buried three free throws in a row to tie the game 67-67.
One last defensive stop was needed from the Greyhounds, but Chambers again drove the paint and was sent to the charity stripe with 6.8 seconds left. But again he missed two free throws and Christian White passed to Halk who drove the floor and found Zach Byrd for a last second shot, but the ball wouldn't fall and the game went to overtime.
Chambers struck first with a long three-pointer to give the Pioneers a 70-67 lead, but the Greyhounds scored the next 7 points on a White jumper, layups by Caleb Henry and Jalen Lynn, and White hit 1-of-2 free throws for a 74-70 lead before Chambers got to the line and hit both shots.
Then with 1:00 minute on the overtime clock and 1 second left on the shot clock, Lynn somehow found a hole in the defense and got a layup, giving the Greyhounds a 76-72 lead in the extra period. But Ian Moore hit a long trey with 46.3 seconds left to pull NorthArk within 1 at 76-75. Treay Jamison then got fouled on the following possession and hit the first of two free throws before Zach Byrd grabbed the offensive board off the second shot miss and got the ball to Lynn who was fouled with 16.8 seconds remaining.
Lynn calmly knocked another two free throws down for a 79-75 lead, Christian White grabbed the Pioneer miss and was fouled, and then hit 1-of-2 free throws for the final margin.
Jalen Lynn led the Greyhounds with 26 points and 4 steals, Kamron Rose scored 17 points to go with 6 rebounds, and Shaheed Halk chipped in 12 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. And for the first time in school history, three players pulled down double-figure rebounds as Zach Byrd had 14 boards, Christian White pulled down 12, and Garret Finley had 10.
The Greyhounds were able to pull out the victory despite shooting a season-low 29.2% from the field and 19.2% from the three-point line thanks to 30 offensive rebounds and forcing 23 Pioneer turnovers while giving away only 13. But NorthArk managed only 35.7% shooting from the field, 20% shooting from the three-point line and four missed free throws in the last 32 seconds of regulation that helped the Greyhounds' cause.
Details of Saturday's District Championship game will be released next week.

The number of people out of work has exceeded the two million mark for the first time since 1997.
Unemployment leapt by 165,000 to reach 2.03 million between November 2008 and January 2009. And during the whole of 2008, a whopping 421,000 people became unemployed.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS), which compiles the data, says the unemployment rate and the claimant count have also increased, with the unemployment level and rate are at their highest level since 1997. At the same time, wage inflation has fallen.
February saw 1.39 million people claim Jobseeker's Allowance, up 138,400 from the previous month and up 595,600 from February 2008. The ONS says the increase since January is the largest monthly increase since records began in 1971.
Charles Davis, an economist at the Centre for Economics and Business Research, warns that the figures mean the number of people claiming unemployment benefits has surpassed monthly spikes seen in the early 1980s or 1990s recessions.
He adds: "These figures paint a stark picture of the significant deterioration in the UK labour market. We expected there to be especially sharp job cuts in the spring as firms assess their budgets for the year ahead so these changes are to an extent in line with expectations.
"However, the jump in the claimant count is worse than any month in recent recession, underlining the point that this is likely to be the toughest year for the UK economy in the post war era."

The Valley Rovers team, featuring players from Drumshanbo, Keshcarrigan and Kilnagross, who have qualified for two finals over the next week and a half
Manor Rangers, Carrick Town and Abbey Rovers may be the names most associated with underage soccer in Leitrim but add in Valley Rovers as an unlikely source of green & gold sporting pride.
The Geevagh based club would not normally attract much Leitrim attention but their successful U16 features no less than 12 Leitrim players on the squad.
Valley Rovers have been on a giant killing mission in recent weeks as they have knocked out Salthill Devon, Claremorris FC, Westport Utd and Merville Utd to reach both the Sligo/Leitrim Premier Division final and the Connacht Shield final.
Valley take on Moyne Villa from Headford in Galway next Sunday May 5, at 1pm in IT Sligo at the Connacht Final with an mouth-watering All Leitrim league final v Manor Rangers on Friday May 10, at 7pm.
The Valley Rovers team that defeated Merville Utd 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw: Ronan Moran , Haji Deen Swarray, Conor Flood (all Drumshanbo), Dylan Gabbidon & Conor O'Boyle (Geevagh), Thomas Flynn (Highwood), Shane Mc Keon, Radek Oberwan & Ciaran McMorrow (Drumshanbo), Danny McWeeney (Kiltubrid), Kyle McCrann (Kilnagross), Eoin Guckian & Arek Oberwan (Drumshanbo), Liam Killoran (Ballyfarnon), Oliver Rygielski (Keadue), Dylan Easterbrook & Jake Tobin (Drumshanbo).

Nice. You posted a pic a while back before you had been destroyed by the hockey team and covered with cum. I wanted to see the destroyed picture. Nothing better than a beautiful woman covered in cum.

Hi all,That was quite an unexpected news when yesterday Kasper told the team that we had won. I couldn't believe it until I saw the official announcement That's truly a big honour for all guys and gals involved in this collaboration and for me personally.Interesting fact is that I've ran into Justin's site by occasion some 8 years ago when searching for Chuck Berry's Johnny B Good riff. I've learned it from Justin's lesson and clumsily played all the cover by myselfhttps://soundcloud.com/schlaffenwagen/johnny-b-goodIf somebody had told me that time that I'll produce some 200 projects at home and will be working with great talented musicians from all over the world I would have laughed at that joke But life is unpredictable and full of surprises. And it's quite symbolic for me that another great song by Chuck Berry this time performed perfectly by great players and singers (and a very average drummer...lol) has been awarded first prize.So I personally want to thank all the JG crew headed by Captain Justin for the job they've been doing all those years to keep this site, this forum live and for the community of good people they've managed to get together And I want to thank all the project team for great collaboration which went flawless in terms of responsiblity, discipline and quality Cheers and bottoms up!Roman
Well said Toby.sclaffenwagen is a shining beacon, a radiant jewel, a mystical light of musical inspiration, collaboration and harmony.The epitome of the caring and giving ethos we strive to maintain in justinguitar land.So appreciate all the accolades that you rightly deserve Roman.

SANTA FE — A proposal aimed at strengthening New Mexico's disclosure requirements for political spending by "dark-money" groups is almost ready to go to the governor.
The legislation, Senate Bill 3, passed the House on a 48-17 vote late Saturday. It has already been approved by the Senate, but the House made minor changes — meaning the bill must go back to the Senate one more time.
Democratic Rep. Daymon Ely of Corrales said the proposal would bring New Mexico's campaign finance laws into compliance with recent Supreme Court decisions and provide more transparency on political spending.
It's intended to shine more light on spending by "dark-money" groups, such as nonprofit groups and unions.
The legislation is sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe. It builds on disclosure rules that were imposed in 2017 by Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver.
"This bill will give the public a better understanding of who is trying to influence our elections by providing more transparency and accountability in campaign finance reporting," Toulouse Oliver said in a written statement.

Vienna - Budapest
Vienna - Budapest
- 8 Days / 7 Nights
- Self-guided Tour
It is recommended to arrive early. This metropolis on the Danube has plenty to offer and it is worth to stay there for a longer time. Enjoy a cup of coffee and the typical Vienna cake "Sachertorte" in one of the numerous coffee houses or treat yourself to a roundtrip with the horse-drawn cab "Fiaker".
The first distance of your bike trip guides you through the national park Donau-Auen. There you will get to know the diversity of the flora and fauna as well as the manifold types of landscape. You pass the castle Orth and the village Eckertsau and reach Bad Deutsch Altenburg.
From Bad Deutsch Altenburg/Hainburg you can make an excursion on the Roman bike trail (Römerweg) to Carnuntum. The archaeological park is regarded as one of the most significant archaeological sites in Austria. After Hainburg you reach the border to Slovakia and it´s capital city Bratislava that is your next overnight stay. The shorter distance today allows plenty of time to visit the old part of this charming city.
You cycle a short distance in Slovak territory before you pass the Hungarian border in Rajká. Within the first few kilometers of your cycle trip in Hungary you will discover charming villages. The complete section is influenced by agriculture. Your route guides you through the so-called Szigetköz (a small Rye Island). This is characterized by numberless side arms of the Danube. After arrival in Mosonmagyaróvár, which is also called "City of 17 bridges", your today´s cycle tour ends. Via train to Györ.
Soon you reach the Hungarian Böny. From there a route version guides you to Bábolna, a well cultivated town with a beautiful inner city. The local National Stud is known far beyond its borders. Racehorses are bred in the splendid inner courtyard. The last part of the route takes you back to the Danube. Then you reach the divided town Komárom/Komárno. At night you can relax in the spa.
Today´s route runs near riverbanks in the flat Danube valley. In the course of this you pass different villages and while cycling you can view the vineyards in the background. The sporty bikers can choose a route over Tata but there are some increases. This requires a basic level of fitness. Those interested in history should plan time for the Roman castle Kelemantia which is on the way. Via ship to Estergrom and tour to Visegrád.
Today you cycle to the hungary town Budapest. You have enough time to enjoy the city.
In the Hungarian capital city there are many things to discover. If you are interested in we would be pleased to book some extra nights for you. Our transfer from Budapest to Vienna is very comfortable (this can be arranged at additional charge).

The Uruguayan had opened the scoring with a first-half header before Jackson Irvine levelled for the Brewers, only to be dismissed minutes later for a second booking.
Grosicki restored Hull's lead early in the second half with a header before Hernández completed his hat-trick as Hull made their numerical advantage tell to grab a first win under Leonid Slutsky.
GOAL: Hull City 1-0 Burton Albion (Abel Hernández)
A bright start by the Tigers was rewarded with a seventh-minute opener at the KCOM as Hernández opened his account for the season. Markus Henriksen was desperately unlucky not to be the man to break the deadlock as his superbly-struck volley came back off the crossbar, but thankfully the Uruguayan front-man was well placed to head in the rebound, the ball crossing the line despite Stephen Bywater getting a hand to it.
DISALLOWED GOAL: Lucas Akins
Midway through the half, Nigel Clough's side thought they had found a route back into the game when Akins fired an effort past Allan McGregor. However, the assistant referee on the far side adjudged the Burton to have been in an offside position when the ball came to him after Jackson Irvine had dispossessed Ola Aina. It looked a hard call on the visitors, but the goal was chalked off.
SAVE: McGregor Denies Naylor
After finally exerting some pressure on the Tigers' goal, the visitors came close to getting themselves back on level terms when a half cleared corner was returned with interest into the middle by Matt Lund and Tom Naylor forced an impressive reaction save from McGregor to keep the home side's lead intact – a yard either side and it would have been all square!
CHANCE: Grosicki Somehow Misses
The Tigers should have doubled their lead when Kamil Grosicki was put through no goal. His pace took him away from the Burton defence and the Polish international seemed destined to score, only to somehow miss the target with his effort after rounding Bywater.
GOAL: Hull City 1-1 Burton Albion (Jackson Irvine)
The Tigers' wastefulness came at a cost when Burton drew themselves level 12 minutes before the break. Poor defending from Slutsky's side allowed Matty Lund to tee up Jackson Irvine on the edge of the box, and the Burton produced a superb finish to find the top corner and level the scores.
RED CARD: Jackson Irvine
Irvine's joy soon turned to despair though as he was given his marching orders by referee Darren England for a second bookable offence. Having already been booked for a cynical foul on Bowen, the Burton man once again brought down the Tigers' winger as he looked to advance with the ball from his own box and the man in the middle had no hesitation in producing a red card to leave Burton a man down with seven minutes remaining in the first half.
GOAL: Hull City 2-1 Burton Albion (Kamil Grosicki)
Having scored early in the first half, the Tigers repeated the feat in the second as they needed just five minutes to go back in front. This time, it was Ola Aina getting the better of Lloyd Dyer over on the right and when the full back checked back onto his left foot, he delivered a perfect cross for Grosicki to glance a header into the far corner of the net.
GOAL: Hull City 3-1 Burton Albion (Abel Hernández)
The Tigers extended their lead five minutes later when Hernández grabbed his second of the afternoon, finding the back of the net with a fierce effort that was too strong for Bywater.
GOAL: Hull City 4-1 Burton Albion (Abel Hernández)
Having been twice denied a treble by Bywater, Hernández finally completed his hat-trick on 68 minutes. Played through by Clucas at the end of a powerful surge forward, Hernandez drew Bywater off his line before slotting the ball past him and bagging the matchball. It was his final contribution before being replaced by Adama Diomande.
Post-Match Reaction
"Our supporters helped our team change the match because we had a very difficult 20 minutes in the first half. We started very well, we scored a goal and we had chances. But from 20 to 35 minutes we did not play good, we lost control of the match. We changed our tactics at the break and thankfully improved in the second half. I am very happy with the win and the result, and it was good to get our first win of the season." Leonid Slutsky
"I was unhappy with the two offsides. He (Hernández) was offside for the opening goal. Lucas (Akins) is miles onside when he scores. It was very encouraging how we played in the first half up to the sending-off. The second one was not a booking, I thought it was harsh. The first booking was petulant and I have told him that." Nigel Clough

In accordance with the provisions of the condominium law, after handover Metrodom Ambrus utca 3-5. will act as a condominium to be founded by Metrodom by accepting the deed of foundation, organizational and operational procedures, the initial amount of collective maintenance fee and the first joint representative. These issues of course can be modified later on by the house assembly.
Collective maintenance fee includes all costs associated with the maintenance of the building, including the following:
- joint representative fee
- cleaning
- trash removal service
- lighting and heating of common areas
- garden maintenance and watering
- insurance for the building and apartments (the latter only for the property)
- caretaking services
- lift maintenance, emergency hotline
- boiler maintenance, stoker
- Remote observation of garage security systems (smoke and CO sensors)
- garage door and lift maintenance
Collective maintenance fee exludes the costs of heating and hot water supply but as these are provided by the central boiler they are read and administered by the joint representative. In practice this is similar to the electricity accounting; the meters are read by the joint representative on a monthly basis and issues the invoices upon the actual consumption to each apartment.

Welcome Penny – Austin, TX Birth Photographer
Oh what a treat this birth was. Lindsay contacted me just a few weeks before her "due date" to capture her birth. I was already booked but offered to be on standby for her, meaning if I am able to come, am not at someone else's birth, and am not called away to anyone else's birth during hers, I would photograph it for her just like any other client. She decided she wanted to go for it and well, things could not have worked out more perfectly. Because she booked me so quickly, I didn't have time to actually meet her beforehand, but we did arrange to speak on the phone about her vision for her birth, the important moments she wanted photographed, as well as any concerns and questions she had. 2 hours after this phone call, I got the call from her husband Bay that Lindsay was in labor. I knew her first had come quickly, so I headed down into the city where they live, and within an hour and a half Penny came quietly and peacefully into the world.
I would call this birth very "Austin". Friends and family were coming and going and Lindsay was plugged in to her Hypnobabies the whole time, unaffected by the hoopla. There was root beer and music and a very cute 6 year old brother anxiously awaiting the arrival of his baby sister. The whole vibe was just fantastic and I loved being there as Lindsay effortlessly breathed her baby down and out into the water. It was such an amazing thing to witness. And baby Penny, obviously affected by this calm environment, just opened her big brown eyes and quietly took in everything, and everyone, around her.

Flavors August 22, 2006Posted by Sai in English, Movies, Reviews.
First things first. This is not another movie about American Born Confused Desis. This film is about desis who have moved to the USA. It tries to capture different experiences through the different characters in the movie. This one is very funny and an observational gem. It avoids the cliches that movies in the genre seem to abound in and yet makes great observations about the lives of desis making it feel very realistic.The identification factor is very high for desis who have moved to the USA. I know various people whose experiences match many of those in the movie. This movie is for anyone who enjoys humor.
This movie is written and directed by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK (Dasarakothapalli). These guys are telugu software engineers who left their jobs to make movies. They spent a few years honing their skills before embarking on Flavors (they did a one hour film called shaadi.com before this one). They do a stylish job and the interlinked stories are very well told. The quality of this movie is way above movies like American Desi, American Chai and so on. In fact it is an injustice to compare this movie with such films. It is more a mainstream film. I would rate it higher than films like Bend It Like Beckham, Monsoon Wedding and Bollwood Hollywood. This movie has been to various film festivals and won awards for the directors as well as some of the actors. Anjan Srivastava and Bharti Achrekar (famous for their roles as Mr and Mrs Wagle in Kundan Shah's tv serial "Wagle Ki Duniya"), who play the parents from India are as always excellent. Reef Karim and Pooja Kumar who play Kartik and Rachna do a good job. Punit Jasuja who plays Ashok Mittal is very funny. Most of the actors are comparatively serious ones and not first timers. This helps the movie. The music by Mahesh Shankar (who also scored for the telugu film Vennela), Leslie Lewis and few others adds to the movie. Some of the background music is excellent. This film is a must watch for desis and recommended for others too.

Absoultely love this one…..it's unfortunate that this movie did not have a wider release in India. I too checked this one out accidentally on TV.
As you rightly said, this one is refreshingly different and far superior to the regular ABCD and crossover stuff. I completely agree with you when you say that identification factor is very high for people who've moved to the US….even during my very limited stay in the US, I've come across a few people whose lives kind of resemble those shown in the movie. Also, the different threads in the movie were very well interlinked. Though it's a low budget movie, it looks very slick throught.
BTW, another so called "crossover" movie I am quite interested to watch in Mira Nair's "The Namesake" featuring Irfan, Tabu and Kal Penn…I checked out the trailer sometime back and found it very interesting.

Cholangitis should be considered in patients with undifferentiated sepsis. Ruling in or out the diagnosis of cholangitis is no longer based on clinical exam alone. The addition of imaging and bloodwork to the clinical exam are much more reliable.

When comedian and actor Kumail Nanjiani called out The Washington Post for excluding writer and producer Emily V. Gordon, who is also his wife, from its headline about the inspiration and creation for the story in The Big Sick, it brought further attention to how women are continually misrepresented in mainstream media.
In a series of tweets, Nanjiani wrote to The Post that Gordon wasn't just inspiration for the film's creation – she was a co-creator and and an instrumental part of the film's production.
Hey @washingtonpost. Big fan. Love what y'all do. Appreciate you covering this. Could you add my wife's name to this headline please? She is Emily V Gordon, & not just the inspiration, but one of the writers of The Big Sick. https://t.co/H6VkeyzO83
— Kumail Nanjiani (@kumailn) January 10, 2018
The Post's original headline read, "Kumail Nanjiani opens up about his wife's illness, the inspiration for 'The Big Sick.'" While that title may have covered the gist of what the article was about, it diminished Gordon's role in the creation of the film itself. Her identity sounded more of wife rather than co-creator, something Nanjiani himself pointed out in his response on Twitter.
she has a name she has a name she has a name: Emily V. Gordon, now a multiply-award-nominated screenwriter. it's HER body & HER illness. the least you can do is put her name in the headline, if you're going to make a "moment" of her life. thanks 👋🏼 https://t.co/BZXxxqdFz9
— zoe kazan (@zoeinthecities) January 10, 2018
Shortly after the tweet, The Post revised their headline to "Kumail Nanjiani opens up about his wife Emily V. Gordon's illness, which inspired them to write 'The Big Sick.'"
However, the unconscious omission of Gordon's name highlights the problem of underrepresentation of women in the media throughout journalism's history. The lack of inclusivity is seen in the sources gathered and in the newsroom itself. There might not be any conscious effort to snuff out female voices or contributions, but tradition lives on in mainstream media, whether consumers and writers like it or not.
A 2017 ASNE report showed that women made up 39.1 percent of all newsroom employees in 2017, barely an improvement from the 38.7 percent in 2016. News organizations such as USA Today and San Jose Mercury News have gone down in gender diversity within its newsrooms, while other organizations such as The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal have increased their diversity of female staffers to 43 percent and 45 percent, respectively.
The interesting part of The Washington Post initially labeling Gordon as a "wife" in the headline is surprising considering its newsroom is has a 50/50 split between male and female staff members. Although overall gender diversity in the journalism field has improved, albeit slowly, women are still portrayed in domestic roles in articles, or their achievements are often downplayed in comparison to their male counterparts.
"The constant representation of women in less powerful, and often highly sexualized and eroticized roles — it's a very limited range of representation," said Lindsey Mean, associate professor of social and behavioral sciences at Arizona State University. "It's necessary to educate people because we consume in both passive and active ways, and there's always a question about how active some of the consumption of media is."
While the number of women in the newsroom has increased throughout recent years, the problem of race, gender, and class within the media persists against activism efforts and quotas. The media's job is to report the truth as fairly as possible – this includes giving credit where credit is due.
