Long Island Coastal Homes

I currently teach children’s yoga in my home and at the homes of clients, with a small client base. I have a business plan and location for a studio to rent, but since a grant is difficult to get for such a project, I am looking for an investor for a very lucrative project. Ideas?

You’re probably best off going to a bank and getting a small-business loan.

PANGALENGAN, Indonesia (Reuters) – The death toll from an earthquake that struck Indonesia, shattering rural homes and forcing terrified city residents into the street, stood at 42 and was likely to rise, the government said on Thursday.

The 7.0 magnitude quake shook buildings in the capital Jakarta on Wednesday afternoon and flattened homes in villages closer to the epicentre in West Java.

Reuters reporters saw many damaged houses as well as makeshift tents and shelters on the streets and in fields.

"They have taken refuge not only because their houses were ruined, but also because they fear there will be aftershocks," said local official Obar Sobarna. About 5,000 people were taking refuge in the area, he added.

At least 42 people were killed and more than 300 people injured, the government said. Officials said about 1,300 houses were damaged, although local media put the number at 3,500.

Another 42 were missing, presumed dead, after the quake triggered a landslide in the district of Cianjur, about 60 miles south of Jakarta, said Priyadi Kardono, spokesman for the National Disaster Mitigation Agency.

Kardono said the death toll may rise sharply as scores of houses and offices had collapsed or suffered severe damage. Some areas near the epicentre could not be contacted for several hours.

"Communications with the coastal areas were completely cut, so we don’t know the conditions there," Kardono told Reuters.

"It’s possible the death toll could grow higher."

NEIGHBOURS OFFER HELP

Asian states offered to help deal with the quake aftermath.

"We’ve said to the Indonesian authorities we will work with them in terms of any assistance that we can provide," Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd told national radio.

Yukio Hatoyama, Japan’s next prime minister after his Democratic Party of Japan’s landslide election victory, said his government would provide help "regardless of any request.

"We need to make sure there are no delays in providing aid that we would normally be able to provide because of a policy vacuum."

The health ministry said it was sending medical teams to affected areas in West Java. State news agency Antara reported villagers were clearing rubble from collapsed buildings to try to find survivors and bodies.

Indonesia’s 17,000 islands are scattered along a belt of volcanic and seismic activity known as the Pacific "ring of fire," one of the most quake-prone places on earth.

More than 170,000 Indonesians were killed or listed missing after a 9.15 magnitude earthquake off Indonesia’s Aceh province on Sumatra triggered a tsunami in December 2004. A total of 230,000 people died in Indian Ocean countries.

Indonesia’s seismology agency put the magnitude of Wednesday’s quake at 7.3 with the epicentre 142 km (88 miles) southwest of Tasikmalaya, in West Java.

"Many houses are flattened to the ground," said Edi Sapuan in Margamukti village, near Tasikmalaya. "Only the wooden houses remain standing. Many villagers are injured, covered in blood."

"We ran as soon as the quake hit. Then five minutes later my house collapsed."

The quake was felt as far away as Surabaya, Indonesia’s second city, 500 km (300 miles) northeast of Tasikmalaya, and on the resort island of Bali, about 700 km (420 miles) to the east.

At least 38 people were injured in Jakarta, the health ministry said. Buildings shook and residents said thousands of people poured into the streets from office and apartment blocks.

"The chandelier started moving and it started shaking really strong," said Victor Chan, who lives in a 34th floor flat. "It lasted quite long. I was really scared and rushed downstairs."

Australia and the Asian countries are helping the Indonesian army and rescue and are doing all they can to help save the Indonesian villagers from this castrophe.
So stop hating Australians and help us get your loved ones out of your landslides.

this is the first I hear about this, tell us more.

My wife has been trying to remember the name of a company that does home shopping parties for ornamental candles like Tupperware parties, out around Islip/Patchogue on Long Island. Any clues or contacts?

Could it be Mia Bella or Scent-Sations? We do home parties.

Introduction
Background:
Definition Field Listing
The Trucial States of the Persian Gulf coast granted the UK control of their defense and foreign affairs in 19th century treaties. In 1971, six of these states – Abu Zaby, ‘Ajman, Al Fujayrah, Ash Shariqah, Dubayy, and Umm al Qaywayn – merged to form the United Arab Emirates (UAE). They were joined in 1972 by Ra’s al Khaymah. The UAE’s per capita GDP is on par with those of leading West European nations. Its generosity with oil revenues and its moderate foreign policy stance have allowed the UAE to play a vital role in the affairs of the region.

Economy United Arab Emirates Top of Page
Economy – overview:
Definition Field Listing
The UAE has an open economy with a high per capita income and a sizable annual trade surplus. Despite largely successful efforts at economic diversification, nearly 40% of GDP is still directly based on oil and gas output. Since the discovery of oil in the UAE more than 30 years ago, the UAE has undergone a profound transformation from an impoverished region of small desert principalities to a modern state with a high standard of living. The government has increased spending on job creation and infrastructure expansion and is opening up utilities to greater private sector involvement. In April 2004, the UAE signed a Trade and Investment Framework Agreement with Washington and in November 2004 agreed to undertake negotiations toward a Free Trade Agreement with the US. The country’s Free Trade Zones – offering 100% foreign ownership and zero taxes – are helping to attract foreign investors. Higher oil revenue, strong liquidity, housing shortages, and cheap credit in 2005-07 led to a surge in asset prices (shares and real estate) and consumer inflation. Rising prices are increasing the operating costs for businesses in the UAE and adversely impacting government employees and others on fixed incomes. Dependence on oil and a large expatriate workforce are significant long-term challenges. The UAE’s strategic plan for the next few years focuses on diversification and creating more opportunities for nationals through improved education and increased private sector employment.

I don’t know so much about Hong Kong taxis. I’m planning on taking a taxi from Airport Express Hong Kong Station to 508 Queens Road West, Western District (Hotel Jen). How much would the fare usually be? How long would it take? Do taxi drivers know every single hotel on Hong Kong island to know which one you’re talking about? What do you do if they bring you to a wrong destination due to misunderstanding? Do they charge for how many pieces of luggage you’ll bring? How much do you tip the driver? Does the meter keep running even when the taxi isn’t driving? Is their any toll fees on this particular route?

I also once had a scenario where I asked a taxi to drive me from Hong Kong The PEAK to Museum of Coastal Denfence which costed a LOT?? Why was that? Was it because I crossed a bridge? Was it because I crossed islands? Does the meter rapidly increase when the driver drives quickly? Was it because of the distance? Why??? Was i stupid to make this decision to drive a long distance by taxi, even though I wasn’t in hurry?

Do most drivers speak enough english to understand your destination? Do you have to fasten your seat belt in back seats? Do doors automatically open and close for you? How do you hail a taxi? Can you bargain with them on fare? Tell me everything you know.

http://www.td.gov.hk/transport_in_hong_kong/public_transport/taxi/index.htm
here’s taxi’s info fr our transport dept.

taxi is kinda cheap in HK compare w/ some big cities such as London, Tokyo. if u take a taxi fr the HK station (airport express) –> Queen’s Road. that wil be less than HK$50 (or even less as it’s quite close). each pce of luggage the driver wil charge u HK$5 on top. they had a tariff sticked beside the door at the back seat 4 the passenger to read & chk. they runs by meter, no cheating at all. no need to tip driver. no toll is involved in ur route from HK station –> Jen.

fr the Peak –> the Museum Voastal Denfence is quite a long way. u were fr the top of the mountain travelled all the way to the east side of HK island. that’s y expensive. if u r not crossing to Kowloon side…there won’t be a tunnel fee.

most drivers not speak Eng but maybe simple 1. show him the addr wil be wiser. yes u hv to fasten the seat’s belt at back seat. if u didn’t do that, the driver won’t remind u. but when accident comes…. u r totally on ur own. no insurance can claim by u. n finally, taxi cannot bargain in HK. they runs by meter.

I love my Long Island Iced Teas but I’ve never made them at home and I don’t have much experience buying booze. I know they’re essentially made of equal parts of Vodka, Gin, Rum and Tequila with some Tripel Sec and a splash of coke but I don’t know which brands of sprits to buy. That’s where you come in…

To make a good Long Island that doesn’t totally break the bank, I’d go: Smirnoff, Beefeaters, Bacardi, and Jose Cuervo silver.

Add your Triple Sec, don’t forget a splash of sweet & sour mix, and your cola.

Discuss the cause and effects of global
warming on the Bahamas then offer viable solutions

Global warming, what does it mean? Global warming is often referred to as "the greenhouse effect". Both imply the absorption of energy radiated from earth’s surface by carbon dioxide and other gasses in the atmosphere. Global warming threatens the whole world. Though it has had little noticeable impact on the world so far, its potential impact could be disastrous which is why global warming has become an issue ever present in the media and for governments. There are many causes such as greenhouse effect through the burning of fossil fuels, the rise in sea level, and pollution. You have heard that for every cause, there is an effect; well, the effects for us are. Agricultural practices, climate change, and the economic consequences and the solutions are renewable energy the Bahamas need to announce target for reduction for emission
There are many causes of the greenhouse effect. The most common greenhouse gas is Carbon dioxide; Carbon dioxide and its associate greenhouse gases. The Bahamas depend solely they are released by the burning of fossil fuels; which is a major leading cause of concern for the Bahamas. These emissions can be seen when you start your car on a cold early morning and the muffler smokes. Also, the more cars sit for a long period of time on the road the more CO2 is admitted into the air. It can be seen in the form of smoke in the heavily populated cities like New Providence and Grand Bahama. Many things contribute to global warming. Such things are industries, transportation, electricity used, waste produced, and agriculture. The greenhouse is very vital to our being. Without the greenhouse effect, the earth would not be warm enough for the human race to live. But if the greenhouse effect becomes stronger, it could make the earth warmer than usual. Even a little extra warming may cause problems for humans, plants, and animals to carry on everyday life.
Another cause for global warming is the rise in see level; most of our islands is in 5ft of mean sea level. The Bahamas being a low-line area; it is likely that the fresh water ponds will be severally affect in some islands of the Bahamas. There are many well fields in some of the islands of the Bahamas, which will become contaminated due to the rise in sea level; this spells disaster for those islands whose water is pumped from well fields meanly Andros and Grand Bahama. Paragraph 6 of Climate Change in the Caribbean by Larry smith states that, “Indications are that some fresh water marshes in the Bahamas have already become brackish, which may be attributed to rising sea levels. And it is known that well fields on Andros and Grand Bahama have been badly affected by storm surge in the past five years. Scientist are fervently trying to find ways to counter act the effects that the rising waters are causing, which includes island and beach erosion. Evidence of the public’s ignorance of the inevitable impact of Sea Level Rising is shown in the millions of people that are flocking to the coast. Rising sea levels, winds, and currents are constantly eroding beaches, and in fact whole islands are disappearing.

First, air pollution causes a great deal of health problems. Wanting clean air is a good reason because air that is polluted can damage human health. Indeed, the air pollution causes numerous diseases and increase health problems like the asthma or breathing problems; thus this is a real concern! Some persons cannot live in a big city because of the high rate of air pollution in it. However, our health is not the only to be threatened, our environment is threatened too. Indeed, the air pollution causes some disorders on the environment. Bahamians have another source of pollution; Cruise ships in the Bahamas produce enormous quantities of unwanted gases and fumes. This makes it a major contributor of pollution in the islands. For instance, a cruise ship that calls upon the Bahamas spent one day in Nassau harbour or a few days at other developed islands. “Most cruise ship uses about 300 tonnes of fuel per day at sea, and significant amounts while in harbour”. {English 119 booklet Paragraph. 7}

The Bahamas is a very low- line country; the highest point being 206 ft above sea level; thus, this make this makes the Bahamas vulnerable to the effect of climate change and higher temperatures and even an increase flooding due to heavier rains; this will result in more malaria, dengue and other tropical diseases. As former Best Commission advisor John Hammerton said recently, Given that most of the Bahamas is a low-line coastal zone subject to storm surge and sea level rise, we should be anticipating the possible impacts of climate change and developing strategies to protect our habitats and landscapes based on the predications.” Climate change could also have a serve effect on natural disasters.

this is pretty bad. You have lots of run on sentences and it is very boring

I loooked on petfinder….couldn’t find any…..

have a male syrian hamster named Spunky i wanted to get a male beacuse i didn’t want Spunky to smell a female and freek out ( they wouldn’t be in the same cage) …..I also think i love Spunky so much that i think i sould get another hamster that needs a home and love him too!
Report It
THey WILL NOT BE IN the same cage!! Thanks

I think that it is great that you want to adopt! All my 5 hamsters are adopted and I love them all! You can try sites like craigslist or local animal shelters. Due to people irresponsibley breeding hamsters many shelters have lots off little ones! Also many petco or petsmarts have hamsters that need adopting. If your local one does not already have signs up ask a store clerk. I got 2 of mine this way.

Also I hope you mean that both hamsters will have their own cage and not just if they were male and female. Syrians or teddybear hamsters are solitary and even if they are thesame gender they will fight to the death.

Good luck!
