Any additional ultrasound supplies or resources your team would have liked? Water proof bags or pelican cases to carry machines in. Portable battery powered chargers for the machines. Materials to donate (ie. old machines, probes, books on ultrasound) – understandably hard to do but would have been nice!
I would have established more formal meetings with my group once we were in Panama to facilitate communication, get us on the same page, and use our resources and time as effectively as possible. I would have also brought more supplies for the parteras (midwives) we were training. I would also have blogged more to create better awareness of the project and to have a written memory to look back on.
9 is a large number of people to organize and it was sometimes difficult to come to agreements because there were so many of us, so while we had the manpower, I think a smaller group is easier to manage, I think 6 is ideal.
One of our studies required a little bit of a different format in clinic. I would change the way we did that study. Other than that, no!
4) don’t promise donors a ton of stuff back, just promise something simple like a thank you video (and send the same one to everyone). It getsreally complicated if you offer a bunch of different things and the donors are going to donate anyways, they aren’t going to donate based on your incentives.
Bring dry-bags for any electronics, bring quick-dry underwear, and definitely get a hammock with a built-in mosquito net. Also if you don’t handle little sleep well, buy a more expensive and more comfortable hammock. Definitely also bring bug spray, and tevas/chocos are a must.
– Keep your studies simple!
– Bring more prenatal kits with some different supplies than what we brought this year.

Only Edward, Bella, Jasper and Kate remain in our battle for the title of #1 'Twilight' character.
First they dispatched the Wolf Pack. Then they did away with the sole-surviving human. Now, the vampires of "Twilight" are left to sink their teeth into each other, as the Final Four round of MTV News' epic Twi-Fight Saga begins today.
Despite fervent support from Kellan Lutz and Taylor Lautner, Bella's dad and everyone's favorite Forks sheriff, Charlie Swan, fell to daughter Bella in the Elite Eight. (He was the second parent to succumb to the newborn vamp, who faced and defeated mom Renee in the second round of voting.) Also booted out of the competition is Tanya, who was bested by Denali coven kin Kate; Alice, who was trounced by husband Jasper (seriously, it wasn't even close); and Esme, whose adoptive son Edward was anything but doting when he undid her handily.
Which all brings us to today's kick-off of the Final Four. In a surprise pairing (because, seriously, who thought Kate would get this far?), Edward will face off against the Denali dame, while bride Bella will take brother-in-law Jasper to task.
Voting in the Final Four will continue through November 8, when the top two vote-getters will be revealed and the Championship Round will begin. The last character standing come November 12 will be crowned the #1 "Twilight" character for all vampires, werewolves and humans to revere.
It's all up to you, Twilighters. Is Edward's perfect coiffure deserving of a top stop in our bracket? Is Bella badass enough to make it to the end? Or will Kate and Jasper pull an unexpected upset? Click on over to Twilight.MTV.com now to cast your vote!
Vote for your favorite "Twilight" character, discuss and share on Facebook and Twitter in the "Twi-Fight Saga" interactive bracket!

Advice from "beyond the echo chamber"
We just learned the economy lost another 600,000 jobs last month. It's a staggering number, and it underscores just how deep this crisis is – and, as the President pointed out this morning, it’s accelerating.
That's why he created the Economic Recovery Advisory Board -- to solicit ideas from "beyond the echo chamber of Washington, DC."
"I’m not interested in groupthink, which is why the Board reflects a broad cross-section of experience, expertise, and ideology," he said. "We’ve recruited Republican and Democrats; veterans of government and the private sector; advocates for business and labor. Not everyone is going to agree with each other, and not all of them are going to agree with me – and that’s precisely the point. Because we want to ensure that our policies have the benefit of independent thought and vigorous debate."
Before the President signed the executive order officially creating the board, he addressed the jobs numbers and brought home the individual pains behind those almost incomprehensibly large numbers.
"Somewhere in America, a small business has shut its doors; a family has said goodbye to their home; a young parent has lost their livelihood, and doesn’t know what’s going to take its place," the President said.
Read the rest of his remarks below -- along with those of PERAB chairman Paul Volcker -- and the list of board members below that.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Thank you. Please have a seat. (Applause.) Good morning, everybody.
THE PRESIDENT: I have just had the opportunity to welcome the members of my Economic Recovery Advisory Board. And I'm grateful that I will have the counsel of these extraordinarily talented and experienced men and women in the challenging months to come.
If there's anyone, anywhere, who doubts the need for wise counsel and bold and immediate action, just consider the very troubling news we received just this morning. Last month, another 600,000 Americans lost their jobs. That is the single worst month of job loss in 35 years. The Department of Labor also adjusted their job loss numbers for 2008 upwards, and now report that we've lost 3.6 million jobs since this recession began.
That's 3.6 million Americans who wake up every day wondering how they are going to pay their bills, stay in their homes, and provide for their children. That's 3.6 million Americans who need our help.
I'm sure that at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, members of the Senate are reading these same numbers this morning. And I hope they share my sense of urgency and draw the same, unmistakable conclusion: The situation could not be more serious. These numbers demand action. It is inexcusable and irresponsible for any of us to get bogged down in distraction, delay, or politics as usual, while millions of Americans are being put out of work.
Now is the time for Congress to act. It's time to pass an Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Plan to get our economy moving.
This is not some abstract debate. It is an urgent and growing crisis that can only be fully understood through the unseen stories that lie underneath each and every one of those 600,000 jobs that were lost this month. Somewhere in America a small business has shut its doors; somewhere in America a family has said goodbye to their home; somewhere in America a young parent has lost their livelihood -- and they don't know what's going to take its place.
These Americans are counting on us, all of us in Washington. We have to remember that we're here to work for them. And if we drag our feet and fail to act, this crisis could turn into a catastrophe. We'll continue to get devastating job reports like today's -- month after month, year after year. It's very important to understand that, although we had a terrible year with respect to jobs last year, the problem is accelerating, not decelerating. It's getting worse, not getting better. Almost half of the jobs that were lost have been lost just in the last couple of months.
These aren't my assessments -- these are the assessments of independent economists. If we don't do anything, millions more jobs will be lost. More families will lose their homes. More Americans will go without health care. We'll continue to send our children to crumbling schools, and be crippled by our dependence on foreign oil. That's the result of inaction. And it's not acceptable to the American people.
They did not choose more of the same in November. They did not send us to Washington to get stuck in partisan posturing, to try to score political points. They did not send us here to turn back to the same tried and failed approaches that were rejected, because we saw the results. They sent us here to make change, with the expectation that we would act.
Now, I have repeatedly acknowledged that, given the magnitude and the difficulties of the problem we're facing, there are no silver bullets and there are no easy answers. The bill that's emerged from Congress is not perfect, but a bill is absolutely necessary. We can continue to improve and refine both the House and Senate versions of these bills. There may be provisions in there that need to be left out; there may be some provisions that need to be added. But broadly speaking, the package is the right size, it is the right scope, and it has the right priorities to create 3 to 4 million jobs and to do it in a way that lays the groundwork for long-term growth -- by fixing our schools, modernizing our health care to lower costs, repair our roads and bridges and levees and other vital infrastructure, move us towards energy independence. That is what America needs. It will take months, even years, to renew our economy, but every day that Washington fails to act, that recovery is delayed.
Now, we also know that no single act can meet the challenges of this moment. This process is just the beginning of a long journey back to progress and growth and prosperity. Given the scope of this crisis, we'll need all hands on deck to figure out how we are going to move forward. And I'm pleased to have an extraordinary team of folks in my administration -- Tim Geithner at Treasury, Larry Summers, Christina Romer, Peter Orszag -- they're all here in the White House. I also want to be sure that we're tapping a broad and diverse range of opinion from across the country, because a historic crisis demands a historic response. And that's why we took the unique step of creating the new institution whose members have gathered here today.
Put simply, I created this board to enlist voices to come from beyond the Washington echo chamber, to ensure that no stone is unturned as we work to put people back to work and get our economy moving.
Within this group, you've got leaders of manufacturing and leaders of finance. You've got labor and you've got management. You've got people who work in small businesses and people who work in large businesses. You've got some economists and some folks who think they're economists. (Laughter.) By the way, these days everybody thinks they're an economist. (Laughter.) We will meet regularly so that I can hear different ideas and sharpen my own, and seek counsel that is candid and informed by the wider world.
The board is headed by Paul Volcker -- not only because he's the tallest among us -- (laughter) -- but because, by any measure, he is one of the world's foremost experts on the economy; one of the most experienced and insightful economic minds that we have. He's advised me for many months. He has helped steer the American economy through many twists and turns. Probably prior to this one, the worst economic crisis we had back in the early '80s, it was Paul Volcker who helped restore confidence and pull us out of that extraordinarily difficult time.
So I'm glad that Paul has decided to continue his public service at this critical moment. Assisting Paul and the rest of the board will be Austan Goolsbee, who's been one of my closest economic advisors, one of the finest young economists that we have in the country. He's going to ensure that we are making the best possible use of this unique resource.
I'm not interested in groupthink, which is why the board reflects a broad cross-section of experience and expertise and ideology. We've recruited Republicans and Democrats, people who come out of the government as well as the private sector. Not everyone is going to agree with each other, and not all of them are going to agree with me -- and that's precisely the point, because we want to ensure that our policies have the benefit of independent thought and vigorous debate.
And we're also going to count on these men and women to serve as additional eyes and ears for me as we work to reverse this downturn. Many of them have ground-level views of the changes that are taking place, as they work across different sectors of the economy and different regions of the country, and they can help us see the trends that are not fully formed, the trouble that may be on the horizon, and the opportunities that have yet to be seized. I look forward to relying on their input and recommendations on specific questions as we jumpstart job creation and pursue strong and stable economic growth.
This new institution should send a signal of how seriously I take the responsibility of building an economic recovery that is broad and enduring. These are extraordinary times. For far too many Americans, the future is filled with unanswered questions: Can I get a job? Will my family be able to stay in their home? Will I be able to retire with dignity, and see my children lead a better life? And these are the questions that we will answer affirmatively during the course of this administration.
We are going to create the jobs that our people need and the future that this great nation deserves. Those are the challenges that I've put before my economic team, and these distinguished advisors will be tackling those same issues in the months and years to come.
So I'm grateful to them. And before I officially sign this executive order, I would like Paul just to say a quick word.
MR. VOLCKER: Well, thank you, Mr. President. I will say a very quick word. You've spoken about the variety of experience and talent you brought together. One thing I am sure they all share, we all share, is a sense of urgency, that you alluded to and emphasized. The figures this morning simply reenforce that. And I can't imagine that the Congress won't share this sense of urgency and you can get on the road toward the kind of program you want.
But thank you for the confidence that you've shown in all of us. We hope to help.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you, Paul. All right, let me get over there.

For Karoline Fox, interim manager of visual and performing arts at Medicine Hat College (MHC) the new partnership between the college and Medicine Hat Catholic Schools is another step forward on a pathway to facilitating lifelong learning on campus.
Once a week, students from the St. Mary’s Fine Arts Academy (grades 7-9) will be using the first-class facilities at the Cultural Centre to evolve their skills in art, drama, music and dance.
“At every turn, the students had a high-level of excitement. They entered the Black Box Theatre and you could hear the “oohs and aahs”. They also got to see the painting studio which is part of the new visual communications building. You could tell they were thrilled to be here,” says Fox.
St. Mary’s School art teacher, Christina Remeikis agrees with Fox saying that the students are not only excited but feel privileged to be in a professional art environment.
“The college creates an atmosphere that helps students feel more artistically creative. It seems more legit to them when they see students much older than them doing all kinds of different techniques in art. It’s truly the beginning of a beautiful friendship,” says Remeikis.
Fox added that being able to share the space with a younger group has been refreshing, and aligns with the college’s vision to be a multi-generational learning institution.
“It’s great to be able to share our space with young people and give them a taste of what college life is like. We have a number of generations all learning under one roof, and there is something truly special about that,” says Fox.
Dr. Denise Henning, president and CEO says she’s excited about this new partnership.
To learn more about how you can be part of visual and performing arts at Medicine Hat College visit www.mhc.ab.ca.
Known for our focus on students – and our innovative and collaborative nature – Medicine Hat College proudly serves over 8,000 learners each year. Committed to the communities of southeastern Alberta, yet mindful of global opportunities, we invite you to develop your full potential through our broad array of programs, courses and services. MHC is a proud member of Campus Alberta and welcomes partnership to benefit our students and communities. To learn how we’re here for you, visit www.mhc.ab.ca.
The fine arts academy program at St. Mary’s school attracts students from all over the city and surrounding area. The programming emphasis is on enriching a students’ experience in performing and visual arts. Our program meets the needs of many students, in particular; those students who enjoy the fine arts but are not considering it as a career option; and those students who are very involved in the fine arts and may be considering it as a career option. The program is open to all students, and all academy programming is taught by highly qualified experienced and certified teachers.
The five disciplines offered are choral/singing, drama, band, dance and art.

Could I be any more in love with this handsome guy? The answer is a resounding "no!" Taylor is perfection. He seriously could not be any more wonderful, smart, fun, handsome, spiritual, kind, and talented. It about killed me this summer to watch him turn 16. There is something about that age that just takes you back to the day they entered your life and wish that time could just SLOW DOWN. Watching him get his drivers license is simultaneously awesome and almost crushing. My baby is no longer a baby. He's an incredible young man who makes me proud every day. He's both my son and my friend. We are so grateful for our Taylor!!!!!!
EFY has been an emotional roller coaster. It has been fun, awesome, spiritual and inspirational. My company is amazing and I know that I was grouped with them for a reason. My counselors are the best you could ask for, I've danced every slow dance, and I've become closer to God.
After I read it and showed Jeremy, he turned to me and said, "Ok, now do you think it was the right decision?" (: We're so glad that he was able to have that opportunity.
Taylor had to wear a costume for band last year. He pulled out his giraffe costume from when he was 5 years old. Everyone got a kick out of it.
Taylor was awarded overall "Student of the Year" for the 9th grade and student of the year for PE.
Happy Birthday on the Fourth of July!
It was fun having cousins/family here for his birthday!
Taylor doing his vertical training program. He's so dedicated!
Every Sunday, Taylor bakes 4 dozen yummy white rolls and three loaves of wheat bread. Best tradition ever!
I love that I have your boys to look to when I think about my own growing up!
Taylor, you are so handsome, spiritual, good, athletic, generous-with-your-talents-and-time, smart, tall, and I could go on and on describing all the many traits you naturally inherited, I'm proud to say, from your Grandpa . . . Nelson! I really do love you, Boy, er uh, Man!
I remember him as the little guy who used to swallow things (I believe I remember a penny being swallowed?). He's a cutie!
Some of your pictures remind me so much of your dad at that age...handsome boys, for sure! And kind and spiritual and athletic and he bakes. Wow!
Christi, you have so much to be proud of! Taylor's going to go far in life.I'm glad to know him!

Below is a letter in response to the recent decisions made by the Israeli government written by the Rehovot and Minneapolis Partnership2Gether steering committee members. This letter will also be published in the Rehovot newspaper.
We, the undersigned, Israeli citizens from Rehovot and members of the Jewish community in Minneapolis (Minnesota), voluntarily serve as members on the steering committee of Partnership2Gether within the framework of the Jewish Agency.
Our partnership – along with its 46 members of this global network of communities – connect Jewish communities in Israel and around the world, with an emphasis on deepening our Jewish identity and Jewish Peoplehood awareness, community building, and leadership development. We run a variety of programs for children and youth, college students, educators, and social entrepreneurs. Our activities are funded by the Jewish community in Minneapolis, the Jewish Agency, and the Rehovot Municipality.
For us, the citizens of Rehovot, our personal acquaintance with our friends in Minneapolis revealed the rich diversity of the Diaspora Jewry, in which Jews from different streams manage to maintain a cohesive community, to address issues, to respect each other and at the same time strengthen the common values, culture, and awareness.
This exposure enriched both our own world as well our Jewish identity and deepened our commitment to fight for Jewish pluralism in the State of Israel. We are dismayed and concerned with how the persistence of one particular interpretation of Judaism in the Jewish state achieves the exact opposite of what is intended, and even contradicts the Declaration of Independence. It distances many Israelis from the Jewish component of their identity rather than uniting.
For us the Jews of Minneapolis, who see firsthand (as a result of our partnership with Rehovot) the challenges in the Israeli society, the June 25th government decisions are yet another slap in the face with the ongoing saga of non-recognition and humiliation towards us, in the Diaspora. We are shocked that the Israeli government has chosen to cancel a historic agreement that was reached with great effort amongst representatives of the various Jewish streams: to establish a dignified area at the Western Wall to be run by the government and the liberal streams. We are equally appalled with the Conversion Law, which reinstates the monopoly of conversion to the Chief Rabbinate and affects thousands of Jews who have been converted in recent years placing them into alternative tracks that the Israeli establishment does not recognize.
The decisions of the Israeli government are equivalent to turning a blind eye to the strategic challenge of connecting Diaspora youth to the Jewish people and the State of Israel. These government decisions directly affect the ability of the young to view Israel as their home. Needless to say, government decisions also undermine the efforts to recruit and train Jewish students to protect Israel from BDS supporters on campuses.
The media frequently indicated the potentially damaging effect on the level of support from the Diaspora Jews through their donations, however, in our opinion, this is not the main thing. The unfortunate government decisions on June 25th directly affect our common future as a nation, the security and economic interests of the State of Israel, and the original purpose of the State for the Jewish Nation.
We stand a few days before the seventeenth of Tammuz, and it is our duty to remind you that because of hatred, the Temple was destroyed twice. We stand before you, Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu and every member of the government, demanding that you recognize the seriousness of this matter and act decisively to cancel the government’s June 25th decisions.
To celebrate Shabbat during 100 Days // 100 Ways, we asked fifth graders at Bet Shalom and their “twin” classroom at the Hadarim school, in our sister-city of Rehovot, Israel to draw us images of Shabbat.
Below view a gallery of images from the Bet Shalom students. Stay tuned for more images, this time from Rehovot!
Minneapolis Jewish Federation is paired with the city of Rehovot, Israel as part of the Parntership2Gether program through the Jewish Agency for Israel. This partnership is in its second full year and has recently begun implementing exciting programming in both the Minneapolis and Rehovot Jewish communities.
One program of the Minneapolis/Rehovot P2G is a school classroom “twinning.” Twinning programs promote the sense of Jewish Peoplehood and shared responsibility. Students have the chance to meet each other and have dynamic conversations around issues such as Jewish identity and social responsibility.
You’ll see these and more on our Facebook page every Friday. Be sure to check out the rest of our 100 Days events and posts on Twitter as well as on our website.
Thanks to technology, we are able to bring two synagogues, with a deep love of learning, together.
Beginning November 17, Congregation Darchei Noam in St. Louis Park will begin simultaneous study sessions with synagogue The Berman Shul in Rehovot, Israel.
The six classes will be held on Tuesday evenings, the Minneapolis group meets at Darchei Noam at 7PM and on Sundays at 11AM. The following Sunday the groups will gather via Skype in Minnesota and Israel to discuss what they learned and share insights.
These classes are free and open to the community. The schedule is below, and we hope to see you there!
The #Momentummn delegation of the#MOMentumtrips of women visited Rehovot on Tuesday, October 27th as a part of our Partnership2Gether program through the municipality of Rehovot, the Jewish Agency and the Minneapolis Jewish Federation.
The visit was hosted and sponsored by Rehovot’s Deputy Mayor, Zohar Blum, and David Ashkenazi, Rehovot’s Chief of Staff and Head of Foreign Relations Department.
The group spent the day touring the city (Weisman Institute and the Ayalon Institute), visiting kindergartens and early childhood care facilities in Kiryat Moshe as well as a little bit of shopping.
The highlight of the visit was dinner at the Minkov Citrus Orchard Museum along with Rehovot members of the partnership’s Steering Committee which is Co-Chaired by Dr. Yoram Blachar.
The meeting between members of the Steering Committee and the women from the Minneapolis community was successful, exciting and left a taste and desire for further development of the relationship.
Fun fact: Melanie Ginsburg, a MASA Israel student from Minneapolis on a Teachers Fellows program in Rehovot, spoke with the group while they were there about how Federation supports Masa (which is also a Jewish Agency for Israel program), and about what she is doing in Rehovot.
Dozens of members of the Minneapolis Jewish community are scheduled to visit Rehovot in the upcoming months to continue establishing relationships and friendships with the residents of Rehovot.
We helped to build Israel. Today we help keep it strong.
For more than six decades, we’ve helped strengthen the State of the Israel. And our commitment continues. Unwavering.
Federation is dedicated to ensuring that all of Israel’s citizens have equal access to educational and economic opportunity. And we work tirelessly to deepen connections between the Jewish State and the global Jewish community.
Despite Israel’s economic success, one in five Israeli families lives in poverty. We provide a safety net for the most vulnerable, and we advocate for those in distress.
When Israel is threatened, we mobilize our networks at home and overseas to come immediately to her aid.
That global connection is fostered by immersive experiences for young Jews and programming that brings Israel to life in communities throughout North America.
Federation has helped millions of immigrants move to Israel and start new lives—26,000 in the past year alone.
Thousands of elderly benefit from innovative services they receive right in their homes. Thousands of poor families know their children will have a brighter future thanks to our Federation-supported programs. Job training programs tackle high unemployment among the one million Israelis with disabilities.
The money we raise during times of crisis helps keeps Israelis safe during conflicts and funds post-trauma counseling for tens of thousands living on the front lines.
And we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of young Jews forge a personal connection to Israel through programs like Taglit-Birthright Israel, and built strong relationships between communities in Israel and North America through Partnership2Gether— including our partner city, Rehovot.
We stand by Israel’s side. Always.
While you can’t prevent further escalation in the violence in Israel, you can deliver swift assistance to the victims through the Jewish Agency for Israel’s Fund for Victims of Terror.
Because of your gift, victims of the horrifying terrorist attacks happening throughout Israel will receive assistance quickly—often within 24 hours—so they can start the process of healing.

Historically, several major inventions in the late 1800s and early 1900s triggered the invention and development of horn drivers; it was the invention of the telephone, radio, phonograph, and triode. Principles of operation for the compression driver, based on matching the output mechanical impedance of the vibrating diaphragm and the loading impedance of the phasing plug and horn, were understood since the beginning of the 1900s. The motors of the early compression drivers were based on a moving armature rather than on a moving coil.

NEW YORK, January 14, 2013 – New York City’s residential sales market sustained its robust performance in the fourth quarter of 2013 on a year-over-year basis as Manhattan properties continued to see steady demand, while sales activity in the outer boroughs flourished amid a steadily improving economy and greater clarity on the movement of mortgage interest rates.
Total consideration, the total dollar value of all home sales in the five boroughs, was $9.6 billion in the fourth quarter, an increase of 29 percent compared to the fourth quarter of last year, according to the Real Estate Board of New York’s (REBNY) Fourth Quarter New York City Residential Sales Report released today. Total consideration for Manhattan was $5.3 billion for the fourth quarter of 2013, up 20 percent from the fourth quarter of last year. In Brooklyn, the total consideration of residential sales was $1.9 billion, an increase of 38 percent over the fourth quarter of last year.
Citywide home sales volume for all homes (which includes cooperatives, condominiums and one-to-three-family dwellings) increased 31 percent to 12,677 transactions compared to last year. The percentage of consideration attributable to the boroughs other than Manhattan this quarter increased to 45 percent of all consideration this quarter from 41 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012.
The number of sales of both Brooklyn and Queens one-to-three family homes and coops vastly outpaced the volume seen in the fourth quarter of last year. For instance, the number of Brooklyn one-to-three family homes increased 34 percent to 1,739, while in Queens, sales increased 31 percent to 2,333. There was also a 41 percent increase in the sale of Brooklyn coops to 716.
Average sales prices overall in one-to-three family dwellings achieved some of the biggest gains during the fourth quarter with New York City posting a five percent increase from the previous year’s average to $604,000. The Brooklyn average sales price for a one-to-three family home was $686,000, up nine percent from the fourth quarter of 2012. The average sales price in Queens rose eight percent to $541,000 compared to last year’s fourth quarter.
The average sales price of a home in Manhattan increased one percent from last year’s fourth quarter to $1.4 million while the average sales price in Brooklyn rose by five percent to $621,000. Meanwhile, the average sales price of a home in Queens was $432,000, up three percent from the fourth quarter of 2012.
Manhattan neighborhoods with the most home sales this quarter were: the Upper East Side (888 sales), the Upper West Side (640), Midtown East (302), Midtown West (264), Gramercy/Kips Bay (240) and Chelsea/Flatiron (182).
Brooklyn residential home sales activity was focused in Bedford Stuyvesant (215), Park Slope (172), East New York/Spring Creek (153), Bay Ridge/Fort Hamilton (157) Gravesend/Mapleton (139), and Williamsburg (139).

If you are considering starting a bricklaying business, it is critical that you choose a business structure that works best for your business. It can be a challenge choosing the right structure, as the future success of your business could well depend on the choice you make now. However, by having a thorough understanding of the financial and legal implications of each business structure, you can make an informed decision about which one is best for your business. After coming to some sort of decision about which structure will be best for your business, the advice of a legal professional will be invaluable. It will also provide you with a thorough understanding of how Australian business laws will affect the business structures you wish to choose.
If you are looking to start your own bricklaying business, you might consider adopting a sole trader business structure. It is the most traditional of business structures and involves the owner becoming the sole trader. It gives you total control over your business, but also means that your personal finances and your business finances will be indistinguishable in the eyes of the law.
There are many benefits of becoming a sole trader that range from financial to personal. Primarily, becoming a sole trader is by far and away the cheapest business structure to create, and if you choose to trade under your own name, you do not even need to register your business name. This means that you can enter the market as soon as possible, and gain valuable time in establishing your business and brand. Another advantage of choosing a sole trader structure for your bricklaying business is that your business will remain completely attached to you for its entire existence. So no matter how much your business grows and prospers, you will always be in complete control.
It should be noted that there are also some disadvantages related to choosing a sole trader business structure for your bricklaying business. The main problem is the fact that your finances will all be rolled up into one. You may be personally liable for all financial decisions made in the course of running your business. As a result, you will be forced to wear two hats each time you make a decision, your business hat, and your personal hat. For some business owners this is not a problem in the slightest, for others, it is crippling. If this disadvantage is too much for you, perhaps you should consider a company business structure.
A company business structure will provide a sound basis for your bricklaying business to prosper and expand, without the fear of incurring personal financial liability. The primary benefit of a company business structure is that the finances of the business are separate from your personal finances. However, to allow for this financial protection, the costs of creating and running a company are higher than those of other business structures. You will also be subject to a vast array of statutory rules relating to how your company is run.
Today, the company business structure is the most attractive structure of all, primarily because of the financial protection it provides to business owners. However, in choosing whether you want your business to become a company, you must consider your aspirations. For a small business, the cost of running a company can be ruinous. However, for a large business looking to expand, the financial protection it provides can allow you to take calculated risks you might otherwise avoid.
Therefore, it can be said that all the advantages and disadvantages associated with each business structure are relative, as they depend entirely upon the situation of the business owner. If you would like to see a complete list of all the business structures available to your bricklaying business, please click here. Finally, it must be noted that you should seek the advice of a legal professional at some point during the process, as it will assist you in making the most informed decision possible.

In a non-stick pan, heat a few drops of coconut oil, then stir a few cloves in. Add orange slices and honey to the mix, cook for not more than a few seconds and stir in the pre-mixed oats. Warm up the oats, turn off the heat and add a teaspoon of raw cacao powder and hazelnuts. You can also choose to not heat the oranges and honey. Just add a pinch of ground cloves for a kick of spice.
I like to make this like a layered pudding. Mix a pinch of cinnamon into the pre-mixed oats and warm up the mixture. Then scoop it into a glass or bowl, top with apple slices, goji berries, almonds, and chunky peanut butter. When I’m in the mood for something heavy, I also add a banana to the mix. And if you want to make this really decadent, just crumble a piece of peanut chikki over the oats as a crunchy topping. Just remember that two tablespoons of peanut butter is your limit for the day as far as calories are concerned.
The best part about this recipe is that it combines coffee and breakfast together. If I’m going to make this in the morning I like to mix my oats and chia with just enough almond milk to soften and soak but no more, as the espresso will also add more liquid. I like to warm the oats and then mix them with a steaming shot of espresso (I use Nespresso). Then add mixed berries and nuts for a dose of antioxidants. These days I’m crazy about Brazil nuts for their selenium content and fresh Mahabaleshwar strawberries, which are in season.

With over 11 million downloads, Jetpack is one of the most popular WordPress plugins in the world. Way back when, these features were only for the WordPress.com users. Finally they decided to share and Jetpack was born. Now the self hosted users have many of the same benefits in one simple plugin.

My favorite thing about Jetpack is that it has over 30 awesome features in a little living space. I am a minimalist when it comes to WordPress plugins and I enjoy the fact that I can have a multi-functioned plugin. Like my kitchen, I try not to use unitaskers unless necessary. I do like that you can turn off the services you do not wish to use while keeping the ones you do on. That is a handy feature because there are a few components I will never use. I like the fact that their website goes through each individual aspect and gives a brief description. This makes it helpful in deciding what can benefit you and what will not.
My favorite features are WordPress.com stats, publicize, sharing, and monitor. WordPress.com stats make life so much easier. I like being able to sign on to my dashboard and know right there how many views my site has. Publicize and sharing are a social media junkie’s saving grace. I love the click and forget aspect of it. The only thing I change with publicize is that I add in my hashtags before publishing the post. I am very particular about knowing what is going on with my site and I love monitor and its emails. It let me know that it was time to move a site due to downtime issues I might not have known as soon if I did not have that option turned on.
First of all check the speed of your site with and without Jetpack on it. Some have mentioned that the plugin makes their site slow. I have not had any problems with any of my sites but this is something that is site specific. You will also need a WordPress.com account. This is not the same as your login to your dashboard. Research it before you decide to put it on any of your sites. I hold that true to any plugin. Do not be scared that there is a lot to Jetpack. Their website it full of information and support.
If you are new to WordPress or you are moving your site from WordPress.com to self-hosted I would definitely get this plugin. If you like having multi-functional plugins, get this plugin. If you are ultra-particular about what you put on your site and you only want what you want, then Jetpack is probably not for you. Personally, Jetpack is for everyone.

As a member of both the South Shore Conference (SSC) and the Yankee Conference, MYH is required to develop and submit teams to these conferences in early spring so that the conferences can secure the necessary ice time at the various SSC and Yankee Conference rinks. The hours of ice time secured is a direct reflection on the number of teams each town program submits. Consequently, MYH must have accurate and definitive information regarding the number of hockey players committing to MYH so we can determine the exact number of teams we will submit. Any policy that would allow players to enter and/or leave the program, after making the initial commitment would jeopardize the entire scheduling process for both conferences. To this point, MYH will provide a roster slot on a team for each child that make the commitment to play for a MYH team by both registering and submitting payment in full. Only the inability on the part of MYH to fulfill the commitment to field a team will warrant a refund of the registration (tuition) fee.
Milton Youth Hockey offers a number of non-travel Hockey Programs. These programs are structured around the number of participants who register for the offering. Once registration closes, no refunds will be offered to registered participants. Only the inability on the part of MYH to fulfill the commitment to offer the program will warrant a refund of the registration (tuition) fee.
From time to time, over the course of a hockey season, Milton Youth Hockey conducts various fundraising efforts. The purpose of Milton Youth Hockey's fundraising efforts is to fund participation in MYH programs by players in need and to help to support various MYH programs. Fundraising efforts may include admission fees to hockey games, dinners, and other types of gatherings and events. The admission fees for these events are non-refundable except in the case where an event has been cancelled. Sponsorships, auctions purchases, donations, and other non-event based fundraising purchases are non-refundable.

I am the daughter of a serial killer.
My suffering and self-inflicted guilt and shame went beyond my father’s name in national news, his creepy smiley faces left on letters to the detectives who were looking for the crazed murderer. They would find out later all of it was unmotivated by money, greed, jealousy, or passion. All murder is senseless, but without any motive, the trail of women’s bodies found along wooden paths didn’t add up to much of a pattern that could help detectives determine if the murders were linked. Finally, their work would become a lot easier. The authorities had the wrong people in custody for one particular murder, and my narcissistic father just couldn’t take it. He wrote letters to authorities begging them to notice him. Who knows, if his ego didn’t get in the way, maybe he’d still be driving his truck on long-hauls, dropping into my house to rustle the hair of his grandkids.
In 1995, my father was arrested and is now serving multiple life sentences at the Oregon State Penitentiary.
They are two of the most infamous killers in American history—Lyle and Erik Mendez. The affluent, handsome brothers murdered their parents, Kitty and Jose, more than 25 years ago. What would make these two young men, who seemed to have it all, turn into murderers?

The Historic Centre of Santa Cruz de Mompox has preserved its Spanish colonial character well.
The city was founded on May 3, 1537 by Don Alonso de Heredia as a safe port on the Magdalena. Santa Cruz de Mompox became quite prosperous as a port for the transportation of goods upriver into the interior. A royal mint was established here and the town was famous for its goldsmiths. This prosperity had begun to wane in the Nineteenth Century, but continued until early in the Twentieth Century when the river shifted and sediment accumulated on this arm of the river.
Cartagena, the masterpiece of the empire. At the same time, surraunded for pirates from England, and Holand. If you are a wealty, and aristocratic spaniard, living in Cartagena during the XVII-XVIII centuries, the smarter way to live in the area was moving to Mompox. An island in midle of the Magic Magdalena river, in midle of the rute to Honda-Bogota, and a shelter far away from Spain. Just the idea of Spain. Perhaps Seville was the model to build Mompox. One of the most magical Unesco Sites.
Seven churches. San Francisco church just an idea of baroche.
Breakfast at the marketplace. Arepa de huevo with an fresh orange juice in front of the river. You will love it.
The marketplace from the river...just divine.
Hospitals: San Juan de Dios Hospital was founded in 1550, and is considered to be oldest hospital in America still functioning in its original building.
Declarations of Independence: City Hall: it was here that on August 6, 1810 the Act of Independence from Spain was signed, and the cry "Ser Libres o Morir" ("Freedom or Death") was first heard.
Fortified religious buildings: "The churches also served as forts in the earlier years of the city."
Built in the 17th century: Chosen because of its Qualities "The urban landscape and architectural components of santa cruz de Mompox achieved a high level of unity and harmony during the 17th-19th centuries," and "The "house-store" buildings which began to appear in the 17th century" (AB ev). The town was founded in 1540.

Drug possession and drug distribution charges are some of the most frequently prosecuted cases in Maryland District and Circuit courts.
However, they are also some of the most complex cases to litigate. There are a lot of moving parts to a drug distribution or drug possession case. These cases require significant experience and expertise to handle properly.
This is not a dumb question. The term “drug” is too general and covers a lot of items that are not illegal – like aspirin.
When attorneys talk about drug cases, we are talking about a “controlled dangerous substance” or CDS for short. This means any drug that is controlled and regulated by the government. These illegal substances are listed by the FDA and split into “schedules” which range from most dangerous to least dangerous.
In the rest of this guide, we may refer to CDS, which means a controlled dangerous substance regulated as a dangerous substance by the US Government.
Possession– this is exactly what it sounds like – the possession of a controlled dangerous substance (CDS). These are typically cases where the amount of CDS seized is relatively small, indicating the person wanted it for personal use. These cases are often referred to as “simple” possession. That means the evidence does not support the inference that the Defendant intended to sell or distribute (which is much more serious in the eyes of the law).
Possession with Intent to Distribute– these are cases where the State does not have concrete evidence of distribution.However, they may have circumstantial evidence of an intent to distribute. This can be due to a large amount seized, the packaging of the CDS seized, or cell phone evidence indicating CDS sales.
Distribution– this is the most serious type of drug case. These are cases where the State has evidence of an actual distribution of CDS to another person. This could be through surveillance, controlled buys, observed hand-to-hand transactions, or the use of confidential informants.
This is applicable in all cases, but especially in drug possession and drug distribution cases. Often, the state won’t have the hard evidence without somebody making an incriminating statement.
In many drug cases, the State relies upon incriminating statements to obtain a prosecution. They also use incriminating statements to move a minor possession case into a more serious category.
Don’t do the prosecutor’s job for them!Never make statements without an attorney present.
Everyone knows what marijuana, heroin, and cocaine look like. But what a suspected CDS “looks like” is not enough for a conviction. The State has the burden of proof. They must definitively identify the substance through laboratory analysis.
This part of a drug case is often overlooked by inexperienced attorneys.A thorough review of the labs may uncover defenses to your drug case.
If you don’t demand the lab work (and understand how to read it!) you may never know that the chemist performed the wrong test, failed to follow established protocols, or had inconclusive results. These potential issues can provide grounds for a motion to suppress the most important evidence in the case – the CDS itself!
The possession of marijuana under 10 grams has been decriminalized in Maryland. It is now a civil citation rather than an incarcerable offense.
However, consider this insider tip – despite the decriminalization, most people don’t know that the smell of marijuana is still considered probable causeto search a vehicle. If that search discovers more drugs or different drugs, you could be facing much more serious drug charges.
Perhaps this will change in the future, but for now it is still an important factor in many drug cases.
We don’t just care about your court case, we also care about you. While fighting to win your case in court, we also work to put you in the best possible position to succeed.
With over 50 years of experience in Southern Maryland, we are well positioned to provide our clients with recommendations for drug treatment programs throughout Charles, Calvert and St. Mary’s County. We know the players in the local programs, and we will work to steer our clients into a state of recovery.
It is always up to you whether or not to take part in a program. However, it will always help your case to do so. We will always advise it for that reason alone.
Often when our clients enter drug treatment programs we are able to negotiate very favorable resolutions – including dismissals, putting your case on the stet docket, or suspended sentences.
All of us at Andrews, Bongar, Gormley & Clagett personally know someone who faced a drug problem. We are sympathetic to the issue, and we want to help get our clients into recovery.
If you want help for a drug problem, we always help you find it – and for no additional fee.
If you have been charged with drug possession or drug distribution, it is vital to discuss your case thoroughly with an experienced criminal defense attorney.You must explore all your options including any defenses available to you.
We offer a free consultation to anyone charged with a drug crime. Contact us today to schedule your free consultation.

I went to the Tower of London to see the poppies. It’s moving in photographs but in real life it practically winds you it’s so powerful. If you are anywhere near London this year – go.
It was one of those days when London’s transport system was all messed up – I tried and failed to reconoitre with Jessica Adams twice – and it seemed impossible to get anywhere. So I got the boat from Tower Bridge to Embankment. Riding along the Thames, looking over at the Globe Theatre, Golden Hind, Tate Modern and all that, never fails to thrill me.
While I was standing in line waiting to board the boat at Tower Bridge pier, I watched two young swans on the sand beech preening out their cygnet down.
They are probably descendents of the swans which would have lived in just that spot when Henry VIII, Elizbeth 1 – and less fortunate passengers, such as Ann Boleyn – would have arrived at that very spot on the river.
you can buy one of the poppies, after Remembrance Day, proceeds to a Charity benefiting service personnel in need…;..
a very worth cause, as I can’t be there in person, owning a poppy will make me feel a part of a wonderful experience….
The whole thing is just beautiful. And they’re all made by hand.

Welcome to the Casinos.ie pages where there is a lot for Irish casino players to learn about online casino gambling and judging by the fact that you have arrived at this particular page suggests that you have already decided to give online casinos a go. There is plenty of information about which of the many online casinos to choose and as long as your chosen online casino features somewhere on the recommended list on this site you will not go far wrong but having made your choice of casino there is one more choice for you to make which may affect your enjoyment and that is which of the many casino deposit options you should use to fund your entertainment. This may not seem important as all you really want is immediate transfer of funds so that you can play the casino games straightaway which actually nearly every deposit method does but different casino deposit options incur a different set of charges. These charges might seem small but remember that the margins on some casino games are also small so a 2% charge for example is close to the margin on a casino game such as roulette so by incurring the charge you could be halving your chances of turning a profit. This is of course simply an example but is intended to demonstrate that choosing the right online casino deposit option is important.
The most obvious method and the one often used for other forms of internet shopping is simply to reach for the credit card. Making an online casino deposit is in many ways just another form of internet shopping but for a credit card company it is very different. For no apparent logical reason credit card companies consider online casinos an evil so whereas online shopping incurs no charges to the user when using a credit card, making a deposit into your online casino account does. These charges are hidden in the small print of your credit card agreement and can be anything up to 2% of the transaction putting you at a disadvantage straightaway. The advice is to read the terms and conditions of your credit card before using it as a casino deposit option. It may be an acceptable charge to you and it may not be but at least knowing about it allows you to make the choice. Unfortunately that is not the end of the story when it comes to making deposits into your online casino account using a credit card. As previously mentioned, one of the requirements of any of the casino deposit options is that the cash is available immediately but for a credit card this brings extra complications as it is now considered a cash transaction in the same way as using a credit card at an ATM would be. If you have never done this, and to be fair most people have not as they use a debit card for ATMs, you may be surprised to learn that interest is charged from the day of the transaction at the exorbitant rates of all credit cards. It makes no difference if you are one of the good guys who pays off their credit card bill every month, you will still be subject to the charge. So there you have it, simply using a credit card for your online casino deposit incurs two sets of charges so why use it when there are other casino deposit options available.
One way to avoid both these sets of charges is simply to use a debit card instead. A debit card is a cash transaction anyway and the banks make no extra charge for online gambling so all the deposited money is available to play any of the casino games. A possible disadvantage could be that the online casino has a record of your bank details. For any of the online casinos recommended on this site this is not an issue as a good encryption system is part of the requirement to be listed but if you venture off on your own it could be worth considering. None of the online casinos listed would ever offer your details to a third party but any online site could of course be subject to hacking attempts but funnily enough because online casinos are an obvious target for hackers to make money by trying to affect the results they have some of the best encryption systems around. It all depends on how relaxed you feel about the issue. If you a believer in as few people as possible knowing your account details then there is the option of using one of the many e-wallets.
E-wallets are an invention brought about by the internet age and probably started with the online marketplace eBay with PayPal becoming one of the first if not the first of the e-wallets. The principle behind these wallets is that you keep money in your wallet or alternatively give the e-wallet access to your bank account and from there you can pay any online business without them knowing any of your bank details. All you need is your account number and password of your e-wallet account. This means that you can deal with multiple online purchases but only the e-wallet company knows your bank account details. If you are sensitive to people knowing your details then an e-wallet is an option but it comes at a cost. Again this may not be much but your wallet terms and conditions will specify what it is. If you do not already have n e-wallet there are plenty to choose from and opening an account could not be easier but make sure that you choose one that is listed as an option on your chosen online casino as not all online casinos accept all e-wallets. All online casinos do however offer a real choice of casino deposit options and there can be no recommendation to suit all users but hopefully these few paragraphs will help the understanding and enable an individual decision to be made.

If you are opening a play, a play that's really about something, a play that's really about ideas, you have to find a way to sell that play.
It's thrilling to be onstage and to not know, literally, what the next moment is going to bring. To just submit to the not-knowing-ness of it.
I was in the original cast of 'Wicked', and that got a bad review in 'The New York Times,' and it's the most successful thing that's ever been put onstage.
I don't know if Jesus said it in the Bible, but someone said that 'the love of money is the root of all evil,' and I do think there's a correlation between the ambition that a lot of people have, in terms of financial remuneration, and the loss of core values.
I have 10 brothers and sisters.
I got my Actors' Equity card officially by playing Nana the dog in 'Peter Pan' at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival. That was the first show I did as a full-fledged, dues-paying member; I earned points in my MFA program, then went into the company after I graduated.
I have an acting crush on Gene Hackman; I have an acting crush on Tommy Lee Jones. Gary Cooper. Jimmy Cagney. Michael Gambon. Simon Russell Beale.
I love it when people take contemporary songs and find a narrative or a theatrical way of telling it.
I survived in high school by working at Kentucky Fried Chicken and made my way up to assistant manager. I was surviving high school and college with that job.
Sometimes, you don't know what's going to happen to your character until the night before you shoot the scene. So, sometimes, you get a great big surprise at the very last minute, which is scary sometimes. You don't have a whole lot of time to prepare.
I've sort of left the theater just for little shoots here and there - little one-off series or small roles in films or whatever.
I used to do a lot of repertory theater. You're playing different roles all the time, and I love that.
I've never seen 'Mad Men.' I've never seen 'Breaking Bad.' I've never seen 'The Sophranos.' These sort of seminal shows.
I actually have seven brothers in real life, and we're all very close in age. We basically go no more than two years between any of us.
Sam Shepard is - I didn't tell this to Sammy, but if I had to point to one artist that made me want to do this for my life, it's Sam Shepard.
Most of my work in New York has been on new musicals. And all through the preview process, they throw you new songs, new lyrics, new choreography, new scripts; you're constantly getting new material. You might get it in the morning and put it in the show at night. It happens every single day, so those muscles are pretty toned.
I've been swimming recreationally about five times a week for years just at the Y.
Something about being surrounded by water has a really calming effect on me.
I've always been drawn more to film. But 'Bloodline,' to me, feels like a 13-hour piece of cinema. And the great thing about Netflix is you get to be almost like an editor. You choose how much of the narrative you want to watch at a time, which makes you complicit in the story.
I'm a pretty avid reader, but I missed feminism in college. I did take an intro course where I read Mary Wollstonecraft, but I didn't read a lot of the seminal writers. Then I had two teenage daughters and was reading books on development and different issues.
I remember really getting into 'The Wiz' and an old musical called 'Purlie,' which Melba Moore sang. I liked those roof-raising shows because I connected deeply with the gospel aspects of those musicals.
I am the most successful unsuccessful actor in New York. And I guess with that, maybe apparent only to myself, there started to be a very subtle but unmistakable whiff of entitlement, bitterness, jealousy. I was not respecting the work.

Sasha Khadzhyan was 17 when she came to the United States by herself. Pushed by her passion, tennis, Khadzhyan was recruited by St. Edward’s University to join the women’s tennis team.
Originally from Murmansk, Russia, Khadzhyan is a Business Management major who will be graduating in May.
Khadzhyan’s initial dream was to play soccer, but contrary to its status in the United States, soccer in Russia is a sport mainly reserved to men. This was the reason her ad decided she would play tennis.
Sasha was 7 years old when she fell in love with tennis. When she was 10, her parents sent her to a Russian tennis academy to develop the skills she already had. Khadzhyan is an only child, so it was very hard for her parents to let her move away. But for her passion, they made the sacrifice to let their daughter follow her dreams.
At the age of 16, Khadzhyan realized that the United States was the only country where she could study and practice a sport as the same time. She hired an agent at 17 to help her find different school.
University coaches from many schools in the United States reached her agent, but she ended up choosing St. Edward’s because it was the only school offering her a full scholarship. Her parents pushed her to accept the offer, as they knew it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
According to Khadzhyan, playing four years of tennis for St. Edward’s was a great experience that she’ll never forget. When she was playing in Europe, she was used to being by herself on the court.
Khadzhyan misses her family, but thanks to technology, she is able to communicate daily with her family back in Russia. She will celebrate her graduation with her parents in May.
Sasha then plans on staying in Austin and is looking for work. Her dream job is to have her own flower shop, as well as a bridal store here is the US.
After graduation, Khadzhyan wants to join a women’s tennis league in Austin.

Dad was the master planner; amazing with his finances. He planned well, making sure that we would be taken care of when his life here on Earth was over. Sadly, he doesn't remember any of the details of those plans, or that he made them, so when he says, "I can't pay you back for taking care of me," I remind him that it's paid in full.
It's now up to me to be a good steward of his estate. In the meantime, as every caregiver knows, besides all the normal bills to keep the household running we're accumulating doctors' bills, hospital bills, and the rising gas prices doesn't help either.
For some caregivers it's necessary to work. That means paying someone to take care of loved ones till the clock strikes 5 or thereabouts. Not a cheap endeavor, and could be part of the reason why so many caregivers suffer from anxiety. Others are retired and living on social security themselves.
For me, I've clicked away on my computer researching fun ways to make some extra cash online. Literally hundreds of gurus say you can ... and get rich doing so. Don't you believe it. However, here's what has worked for me. And by work, I mean $30 here and there with an extra $200 earned for Christmas shopping.
1. YouTube was my go-to for extra income. Nothing spectacular like the professional YouTubers but I earned a little over $100, come Christmas, by uploading short videos. Unfortunately the YouTube powers-to-be decided they were no longer paying out unless you had 1000 followers—other rules applied as well. So forget YouTube? No, you'll just have to work a little harder and get the required followers. Or do it for the satisfaction of helping yourself and others. Did I mention it's very therapeutic. There's something about uploading that finished project, a sense of accomplishment I guess.
My favorite videos to create are book trailers and devotional videos. Lumen5 has free video clips, images, and music to help create your project. They'll show you how. My YouTube channel can be found here, btw.
2. Inbox Dollars: This is one of those sites who pay you to read emails, complete surveys, watch videos, and a ton more. They're nice enough to show you how to make your first $30, too. It's not bad, but of course, making pennies here (with a chance to win cash prizes up to $100) will take a while. Be careful what you sign up for or you'll wind up with a lot of newsletters in your email. All in all, it's extra cash in your pocket. I like it, wish I had more time to become a pro at it.
3. Rev: Can you transcribe, add subtitles to a video, or translate? This is definitely the job for you. The faster you work the more money you can earn. Sometimes you have to be quick in grabbing the jobs available. But usually new jobs pop up all day. I say $200 to $500 a month is possible to make. Your work is rated, of course, and there are deadlines.
4. Blogging: Find your niche, feed your passion. The blogging link will send you to my personal writing blog. That's where I publish a lot of my poetry and flash fiction. Who knew that I would receive over 104,000 visits. The numbers are a little fishy but I'll take it.
Blog your life story, it's better than a diary. Mommy bloggers are the most successful with lots of sponsors jumping on that wagon. But there's room for others, lots of room. Learn how to monetize your blog. Google Adsense is the easiest and they have articles on how to do it right and stories from successful Adsense users. Notice I have Google Adsense ads at the top of this blog. Finding a following for your blog might be a challenge but you'll figure it out. At least your friends and family will read it, right?
5. Publish a Book on Kindle: There are other sites to publish your e-book but I'm most familiar with Kindle. I think how-to books sell well for newbies so what's your expertise? My friend, the Late Pat Johnston was an expert Chrysanthemum grower and wrote a book on how to grow them and win awards. What's your passion?
I've published a few novellas on Kindle, one how-to write book, two collections of flash fiction, and a cookbook that might need a do-over. You can sell your book for 99 cents or whatever you think it's worth.
6. Publish a Physical book on CreateSpace: Amazon owns this print on demand, and it's FREE. Your book will automatically be available on Amazon. Go figure. Nonetheless if you've written any short stories, poetry, memoirs, complete novels or novellas this is the place to get published. It can be as easy as using all their tools like pre-made covers, or retain a professional, or use Fiverr (everyone is for hire at $5). I'm sometimes available to get you started on CreateSpace.
Grab all those old photographs and start your memoirs today.
8. Amazon Affiliate or Amazon Influencers Program: This is one of my favorite programs. I think they call it passive income. You don't really have to work hard on it, and upkeep is pretty easy. You can start your own store and add anything to that store available on Amazon. I have a book store, but maybe I'll add bookmarks, mugs, and stuff like that. Take a look.
To become an affiliate or influencer go to Amazon.com and scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on "Become an Affiliate."
9. Etsy: For all you crafty, artsy, and most awesome creative people this might just be the place for you. I'm sure you've heard about it. I tried, but my crochet items sell better at a craft fair. And I'm just not organized enough for this, but it could be a perfect fit for you. Always look for what works for you.
10. Virtual Yard Sales: Yard sales are the best, aren't they? I love how our junk can be someone else's treasure. Among others, Facebook has local virtual yard sale groups. I know there are a ton of other places to sell your I-have-way-too-much-stuff-in-my-garage items, but I was able to earn over $200 in a couple of days on FB. Keep it local so people can come by and pick up what you're selling.
I hope this helps your journey toward making a little extra cash. It's something to do to break up your day and maybe give you a sense of accomplishment along the way. Feed your brain, get creative and have fun.
Dear Lord, teach me to live in your strength. Take away my anxieties of the future and its fear of financial woes. Keep me always depending on you. You are my provider. I will trust in you and your endless resources. My finances are in your hands. Teach me to be content with what I have and to always bless others. Amen.
You packed this post full of great information! I wish I'd known about these options back when I was a caregiver or faced with the need to make extra mon. Love how you took the initiative to find ways to work rather than do nothing or complain. Good work ethic Debby.
Awww, thanks my friend. I hope it will inspire others. I hope it will work for others.
��... I'm sure it will.
I love the prompting to publish. Maybe I will someday. I need to figure how to illustrate. Others in the family got the artistic genes. Other things similar to Inbox Dollars are Swagbucks and MyPoints. Wonderful connecting place that incentivises a little is myLot.
Hi Garden Gery. Thank you for the comments. I hope you do publish someday, sooner than later, you'll be blessed I'm sure. I love Swagbucks and I'm just starting out on MyPoints. Sometimes you just run out of time. I do have an account on MyLot but haven't been there since they stopped paying. Are you doing something again? Will have to check it out. Thanks again.
MyLot was bought back by some of the former owners, about three years ago now. It is set up a little differently, but some of the wonderful long time people are there now. Please come back and visit.
Tim here (from Bethel Church). Read this and praying for all of you and thanks for finding joy in enduring and stewarding well!

The Baltic Dry Index has declined by over 60% since its recent high, completing a double top pattern.
Stocks in the US closed mildly positive on Friday as investors reacted to strong economic data released throughout the day. The S&P 500 Index added just less than a tenth of a percent, failing to hold the gain of almost half of a percent seen at the highs of the session. The first signs of reaction to a major moving average level are starting to be seen as investors book profits around the 100-day moving average. The benchmark first tested this hurdle on Thursday and pulled back ever so slightly; Friday’s reaction to this hurdle was a little more pronounced. There is a reasonable likelihood that buying demand will fade around present levels as those that benefited from the rally from the December low, or those that have been trapped in positions since the December breakdown point, look to step aside to wait for the next catalyst for stocks. The strength of daily momentum indicators has been waning for the past couple of weeks, leading many to jump the gun on the retracement trade. The alleviation of a number of overhanging issues in this market, including progress on trade negotiations and the reduced risk of a more hawkish Fed, have led to a melt-up in stocks over the past few sessions, forcing those that have been cautious to pare back negative bets. This inevitably places the market in a position of vulnerability, should a shock event be realized.
While data and headlines pertaining to the domestic economy are providing reason for investors to venture back into stocks following the December plunge, one leading indicator of economic activity is providing some concerning results. The Baltic Dry Index has fallen by over 60% since rolling over from its recent peak charted in the month of August. The index of the cost of shipping major raw materials by sea carved out a double-top pattern, the lower limit of which was broken in just the past couple of weeks. The breakdown projects a move back to the 2016 lows. Weakness in this gauge has often preceded periods of global economic strain, such as the late 2015-early 2016 manufacturing downturn, which saw stocks around the globe double-dip following an initial downturn in August of that year. While we could make the argument that the economic situation is “different this time,” the often cited fallacy is almost guaranteed to lead to an incorrect assumption. Seasonally, the Baltic Dry Index tends to rise between the start of February and the beginning of June as the manufacturing economy rebounds following winter in the northern hemisphere, but the recent breakdown doesn’t exactly provide the most encouraging outlook.
On the economic front, headlines showed another blowout number for employment growth in the US. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that employment in the US increased by 304,000 in January, far surpassing the consensus analyst estimate that called for a 158,000 rise. December’s report was revised lower from 312,000 to 222,000 as results were brought forward to the present period. The unemployment rate ticked higher by one-tenth of a percent to 4.0% and average hourly earnings were unchanged at 3.2%. Stripping out the seasonal adjustments, payrolls actually declined by 2.981 million, or 1.97%, which is firmly better than the 2.10% decline that is average for the first month of the year. The result follows a strong year for employment growth in the US when the employment gauge increased by 1.8% in 2018, or nine-tenths of one percent above the 20-year average calendar year change. This was the best year for employment growth since 2015.

Sentiment on Friday, as gauged by the put-call ratio, ended bearish at 1.13.

Gary Sinise said sending 1,722 gold star family members to ‘the happiest place on earth was very, very special’, following the success of his foundation’s holiday trip to Disney World this year.
The award-winning actor, 63, is known for his role as Lieutenant Dan Taylor in 1994 movie Forrest Gump but in real life he has dedicated decades to helping military relatives heal after losing a loved one in conflict zones.
Although he has worked with the Snowball Express Program for the past 11 years to travel with young people and their guardians, in 2018 he took things an extra step further with the pre-Christmas excursion to Florida sponsored by American Airlines.
‘You cannot underestimate the power of bringing all these kids together in a happy environment because we’re trying to bring joy to them right before the holidays, which is a difficult time for a child who’s lost a parent,’ he told The Hollywood Reporter.
‘So bringing all these kids together at the happiest place on earth was very, very special.
Over 14 aircraft safely transported participants from 80 cities across the country and approximately 1,000 American Airlines team members volunteered their time.
In total more than 600 families of fallen heroes got to participate in the trip that took place early December.

It's a Mystery!: Fall is definitely here!
Just took this picture the other evening---the sky was so beautiful, I couldn’t resist. There is a nip in the air in the mornings and a cool breeze through the days. The smell of leaves and wood-burning stoves often fills the air reminding one of Thanksgiving and the onset of the Christmas season.
The “girls” have been busy lately: here’s a good pic of Spot (in the front) with Charlie and Fluffy. The one (of the two) Orpington who is the biggest and with the most developed comb, I’ve named Fluffy because she is enormous when she fluffs out her feathers. The eggs are coming fast and furious---usually about 6 a day! Charlie hasn’t gotten any nastier, but I still can’t turn my back on him without fear of attack. He’s a sneaky devil, especially if you have eggs in your pockets. I think he’s just being protective…just doing his job!
There was a rumor that a mountain lion was roaming our ditch area (which runs beside the chicken yard) but we didn’t see him at all and all the chickens are still there. Perhaps the cat has left the area. I guess a few cats disappeared during his stay. Ours are fine, though. Nothing new to report here---all is well (or as well as can be expected in this economy) and happiness reigns!
Fall is here as well. We had our first frost and first scattered flurries over the weekend. It's been mild and clear the past few days but the weather guessers are saying to brace for an Arctic front by he first of the week.
Ah HA! And another one gets a name! I love it and you know what that means, right? Saved from the dinner table because you can never eat what you name :D Fluffy is beautiful, Sue, a blond bombshell of a girl. Charlie's got his hands full (a chicken with hands no less) with his bevy of beauties.
I hope your cats all stay safe, too. I know mountain lions have to eat, too, but goshhhhhhh.
I LOVE seeing the girls and Charlie. I know I'm a pest cause I keep asking about them. I hope the cats are safe. That's scary.

The Replacements announced a month-long 'Back by Unpopular Demand' tour for April and May.
The Replacements‘ unlikely reunion will stretch into 2015 as Paul Westerberg, Tommy Stinson and company have plotted a 13-date month-long Back By Unpopular Demand tour kicking off April 9th at Seattle’s Paramount Theatre.
The band will also spend two nights at Chicago’s Rivera Theatre at the end of April before continuing towards their leg-ending concert at Philadelphia’s Festival Pier on May 9th. So far, the Replacements have not announced a New York date or any gigs south of Washington, D.C.
In December, the Replacements released their first original song since their 2012 reunion, a 24-minute jazz improvisation called “Poke Me in My Cage.” While the track was light years away from the ‘Mats’ classics Let It Be and Tim, it still showcased their unbridled energy and inimitable approach to rock.
While the Replacements told Rolling Stone that they were considering recording a new album – Westerberg even said that one song was titled “Are You In It for the Money?,” a nod to the reason behind the out-of-nowhere reunion – the band haven’t revealed any further details about their first LP since 1990’s All Shook Down.
