Indianapolis Property Management Heating Up

A slow housing market generally creates more demand for Property Management companies. In today's climate, Sellers have seen their equity shrink while Buyers are facing more stringent borrowing requirements. As a result, more Sellers now lease their homes and more would-be, first-time home buyers are now forced to rent.

indianapolis 500 evolution

Indianapolis, while experiencing less housing problems than coastal cities, has no doubt been affected by the overall housing market. Property Management companies throughout the country and throughout Central Indiana, have received a definite up-tick in business over the past two years. The stream of business comes from two very different sources.

INDIANAPOLIS

Homeowners who can't sell their home

Let's face it... it's a tough market out there for homeowners looking to sell their home. Some homes have been on the market for over a year, while some homeowners haven't even tried to sell their home because they can't afford to bring money to the closing table. The homeowner looks for a good Property Management company to lease and manage their property in hopes that the housing market will return to normal in the next few years. These homes are typically newer and are in subdivisions that have seen heavy pricing pressure over the past few years.

Investors looking for low barriers to entry

Recently, Money Magazine deemed Indianapolis the best place for real estate investors to spend their money, claiming a whopping 300% return on their investment over a 10-year period. We work with some investors but not all. For example... It's no secret that Indianapolis provides investors with extraordinary low barriers to entry. Investors routinely come to Indianapolis, purchase a property for around ,000, spend another ,000 on paint and carpet and rent the home. I consider these purchases to be very bad investments. Generally, these homes will see very little to no appreciation, will need constant maintenance and, because of the areas where they reside, will experience extremely high turnover and even vandalism.

On the other hand, real estate investors who focus on solid neighborhoods and are willing to pay for quality housing are on the right track. While these homes may need some work, they are generally very sound from mechanical and structural standpoints. More importantly, there is a strong demand by Tenants for quality housing in quality areas, so vacancy rates are generally very low. These investors are buying homes at a discounted rate and hope they will achieve large equity gains when the market returns to normal levels.

Bowling Injuries

Bowling is a favorite activity among Americans. Bowling alleys are often filled with a diverse mix of groups, including families with children, groups of teenagers, coworkers, couples, competitive teams, friends celebrating a birthday, and more. While bowling can be a fun way to spend a couple of hours, there are many inherent risks to bowling that many people may not consider.

indianapolis 500 evolution

INDIANAPOLIS

Potential Risks

As a sport that involves tossing a heavy ball down a slippery surface at a high speed, there are many things that could go wrong while bowling, including:

Slipping on the bowling lane and falling Getting your hand, hair, or other part of the body caught in the ball retriever Fingers getting stuck in the bowling ball holes, possibly causing dislocation or a sprain Being hit by a ball when the bowler loses his or her grip or incorrectly bowls Dropping a ball on your foot Hurting your back from trying to play with too heavy of a ball
Injury Prevention

Many of these risks can be minimized if the rules of the game are followed and safety precautions are taken. Anyone who decides to go bowling should consider the following safety tips:

Always wear proper bowling shoes to avoid slipping and to help protect your toes. Check to make sure that you have the right size and that they are properly tightened before you begin. Never bowl barefoot. Tie back hair and keep all parts of the body away from the moving parts of the ball retriever. Never stick your head or hand into the ball retriever. Before starting a game, find a proper sized bowling ball that fits you and that you can lift with ease. Always use this ball while playing to avoid finger, wrist, arm, or back injury. Stand back when others are bowling. Never stand directly behind a bowler. Never cross the foul line or step onto the bowling lane. Not only is it against the rules, it is also extremely slippery and could result in a slip and fall injury. Never run in a bowling alley, especially near lanes or on tile where it may be slippery.

Following these safety guidelines can help to keep you from getting injured while bowling so that you have an enjoyable bowling experience.

Kansas City Schools Change Licensing Requirements

The state of Kansas' Board of Education is expected to make a change to teacher licensure requirements that could help Kansas City Schools get the teachers it needs. According to Martha Gage, director of teacher education and licensure, the Professional Standards Board recommends the improvements.

The changes will allow teachers in Kansas City Schools, and across the state, to add subjects to their portfolios with greater ease. Why is this important to Kansas City Schools? As a result of the state increase in science department credits required for graduation, the Kansas City Schools cannot fill its need for chemistry and physics teachers. This change would allow a biology teacher to take the competency test in a different science area, like chemistry, and be qualified to teach it.

CNA CLASSES IN INDIANAPOLIS

Opponents voice concerns that this change will not ensure that Kansas City Schools' teachers are really prepared to teach such in-depth subjects. John Richard Schrock, director of the biology education program at Emporia State University, feels that passing a competency test alone is not enough. These Indianapolis Schools' teachers might be required to take more courses just in order to pass the difficult tests, but even would that prove sufficient?

But that's not the only change that will hit Indianapolis Schools if the state's board of education passes the initiative. The changes are designed to remove cumbersome paperwork and redundant information from the process of becoming a teacher in Kansas. While that should sound good to everyone, the final change involves lowering the grade point average (GPA) required to obtain conditional certification. Currently, a teacher applicant in Kansas City Schools must have a college GPA of at least 2.5. Of course, a veteran teacher from out of state may have a wealth of experience, and be a great teacher, but have done poorly 25 years ago in college. Proponents claim that the GPA is just one indicator of an applicant's ability to teach. While some argue for maintaining the higher standards, the need for Kansas City Schools to find qualified teachers seems to be winning.

Advocates of both Kansas City Schools and the Kansas National Education Association feel that these changes are a way to fill the teacher gap while still maintaining a reasonable standard for teachers. Standards for both teachers and students have been a hot button topic in Kansas City Schools since the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) act went into effect in 2002. Its requirement for highly qualified teachers in areas like math and science, combined with the state's increase in science credits for graduation has put Kansas City Schools in a teacher quandary. Kansas City Schools are not alone. Public schools nationwide have been forced to innovate and adapt in order to succeed in the current educational climate.

Dropping Classes

Very few college students make it through their educational careers without dropping at least one class. While the procedures for doing so vary among institutions, here are some pointers to keep in mind.

zumba classes

Consider carefully before dropping a class. Is it a class that is only offered once every academic year? Is it the only section of the class that fits your schedule? Are you thinking about dropping because a major test or paper is coming up quickly? If your dissatisfaction is with instruction, is the faculty member the only one who teaches that particular class? Did you just have a truly craptastic day and you're wanting to drop the class on an impulse? Is your grade past the point of no return late in the semester? There are good reasons and bad reasons to drop a class. It's worth taking the time to consider which category covers your reason.

CLASSES

If you need to keep the same number of units, make sure to have a new class to add all lined up before you drop the other class. Dropping a class affects your overall unit load and therefore causes issues with financial aid eligibility and other aspects of your enrollment.

If classes have not yet started, dropping and adding classes can be pretty straightforward, but keep in mind that competition for class registration is fierce. There are fewer classes available due to budget cutbacks, and there are more students vying for those classes because of the high rate of unemployment.

If classes have already started, things can be a bit more tricky. The drop and add period occurs near the beginning of the semester and only lasts for a short period of time (less than a week where I teach). To add a class after it's started, you will need the permission of the instructor to do so. Whether you will get that permission is solely at the discretion of the instructor, regardless of the number of seats available in the class. If you do get permission, get the drop and add processed immediately.

Although most colleges have computerized systems where you can do nearly everything regarding registration online, I strongly suggest dealing with drops and adds in person with admissions and records, especially if it's after classes have started. Make sure to get a printout documenting the drop and add in case there are problems later.

Once you've been to a class, don't just stop showing up and assume you'll be dropped. It's your responsibility to drop yourself from a class. Even though most syllabi warn that faculty retain the right to drop students from the class for poor attendance, that doesn't mean you'll automatically be dropped from the class if you just stop showing up. Some faculty are diligent about dropping students who unexplainedly disappear, and some refuse to drop them at all.

Look at it this way. You signed yourself up for the class. If you want out, then you should un-sign yourself up. Simple enough. If you are not proactive about dropping yourself from a class, you may wind up with an F for the class on your transcript.

Pay attention to drop deadlines and their effects on your transcript. During the drop and add period at the beginning of the semester, dropping a class will have no lasting effect on your transcript. In fact, there will be no trace of it. Dropping after the drop and add period, however, can be a different story.

Again, while specific rules will vary among colleges, the way my institution handles drops is fairly typical. If a class is dropped after the drop and add period but within the drop with no W (withdrawal) period, the transcript will not reflect that the student was enrolled in the class at all. If a class is dropped after the drop with no W period but before the end of the drop with W period (about two weeks before finals), then the class will be listed on the transcript with a W to indicate the student withdrew from the class. If a student wants to drop a class after the end of the drop with a W period, he or she is out of luck. Whatever grade that has been earned in the class will appear on the transcript, and almost always it's not a pretty sight.

Too many withdrawals on your transcript don't look good. Dropping classes at points in time that will leave a stain on your transcript should be done sparingly. While it is true that not all future employers will care what grades are on your transcripts, some will. Your academic performance might be used as a deciding factor in choosing you over some other candidate for a job. The content of your transcripts will definitely have an impact on your competitiveness for scholarships, internships, and admission to graduate school. Your transcript can serve as a representation of the commitment and effort you offer to a new employer or to a graduate program. Keep it as clean as possible.

2008 Indianapolis Colts Outlook

The Indianapolis Colts have come a long way since the days of the Dallas Texans-so much in fact, that the NFL insists the two teams should not be associated today. (Probably due to confusion that results from the Houston Texans) The Colts have created their own legends since 1953 when they renamed to the Baltimore Colts, and have gone on to win three NFL championships and two Super Bowl championships, the latest win in 2006 at XLI. The Indianapolis Colts' chances in 2008 remain promising, especially considering last year's final score of 13-3. The Colts performed very well but lost their divisional round to the San Diego Chargers at the playoffs. Now as the team heads into their 56th season it may be payback time, especially when they play the Chargers in a rematch on November 23, 2008.

indianapolis 500 evolution

For the first time in 24 seasons, the Colts will start playing from the Lucas Oil Stadium leaving behind the RCA Dome. Management is satisfied with coach Tony Dungy for this season, just as they have been for the past seven, and similarly pleased with quarterback Peyton Manning, who returns as starting quarterback for the 11th season. This may or may not be Tony Dungy's last season, as he announced he would return for at least one more season. Whether or not we see him next year may well depend on the team's final score in 2008. The Colts also promoted Jim Caldwell to Associate Head Coach, which puts him in line to inherit Tony Dungy's spot whenever he decides to retire.

INDIANAPOLIS

The team released three players including wide receiver Craphonso Thorpe, defensive tackle Anthony McFarland and linebacker Rob Morris. The team also lost Rocky Michael Boiman and Dan Klecko to the Philadelphia Eagles, Jake Scott to the Tennessee Titans and Benjamin Jeffrey Utecht to the Cincinnati Bengals. The NFL Draft also provided Indianapolis with some exciting new prospects. The team gained center Mike Pollak from Arizona State, linebacker Philip Wheeler from Georgia Tech, tight end Jacob Tamme from Kentucky, linebacker Marcus Howard from Georgia, tight end Tom Santi from Virginia, center Steve Justice from Wake Forest, running back Mike Hart from Michigan, wide receiver Pierre Garcon from Mount Union and center Jamey Richard from Buffalo.

Reaction to the Indianapolis Colts in 2008 has been mixed. Their rematch with the San Diego Chargers is gathering a great deal of interest, though most NFL fans are leaning towards the Colts. The Chargers are seen as a wildcard victor, and respected by most football experts who name them as one of the most talented teams in the entire NFL. In fact, last year's losing performance of 13-3 was one of the best in the entire sport, second only to New England's attempted record breaking best 18-0, and Dallas's impressive 13-3.

Don't count the Colts out yet; they dominated the NFL in 2006, winning their fifth overall championship title and earned one of the best records in the league for the season following. The Colts may still be hungry for more pigskin glory.

What You Need to Know About DUI Classes

You were pulled over for drinking or abusing drugs and are facing the consequences. While license suspension, fines, and jail time are some of the major penalties, there are others, such as required DUI classes. What can you expect in these classes? How can you best prepare for them? This guide explains what you need to know.

zumba classes

Why?
First, it's important to state why being charged with driving under the influence is such a big deal. Why are the penalties so strict? About 40% of all accidents involve a driver under the influence of alcohol. There are many deaths related to DUI, as you can hit a pedestrian, endanger a minor, or hit another driver. As you can see, this is no laughing matter; it's important to know why you're being punished. However, you can get through this given time.

CLASSES

Search, Study, Read, and Time
There are quite likely many DUI classes close to you. Almost every city has them, and you can easily get a list. You have to find a class which involves your particular crime, though, so be sure they are legitimate classes which can be shown to the courts (ask your lawyer if you're unsure). Many schools hold driver training classes, but they also hold DUI classes, often in the evening or on weekends to fit tight schedules. Now, be sure that you read up on everything the court gave you; you want to be clear on what you need to learn.

No License?
Of course, you likely have no license. It would be very bad to drive anywhere after getting a license suspension; if you're pulled over, the problems only grow. You can often find some close to you, especially if you live in a city. You can perhaps take the bus to one too. But don't sacrifice your entire life to finish this course. You want to get it done, but be sure to find one which fits your schedule.

Share Your Story
You will likely meet many people in your situation at the classes. People who made common mistakes and are facing consequences. This is good for you mentally, to see that you are not the only one who made mistakes. You can also connect with people in support programs, which is smart if you want to beat drinking or using drugs.

The Certificate
The whole point of this was to end up completed. Much like a college course, it may seem like it never ends. Once you get the certificate from the course, you just finished a big hurdle. You likely learned quite a bit. But be sure to hang onto this certificate so you can prove to the court that you're following the guidelines.

Indianapolis Schools Set Dress Codes

indianapolis 500 evolution

Students at Indianapolis schools this year have to get used to leaving many of their personal preferences at home. The school district, the largest in the state, has laid down a set of rules that govern the way students dress when they come to class. The new dress requirement at Indianapolis schools touches almost every item of clothing a student could be wearing from shirts, pants and skirts to belts and shoes, and even under garments. Under the new dress code students in Indianapolis schools will attend class wearing only solid colored shirts paired with tan, black or navy pants and skirts. Undershirts that are the wrong color or shirts that are not tucked in neatly are strict no nos according to the new regulations. That symbol of youth rebellion, the low slung pair of pants sagging to dangerous depths has also been completely ruled out as part of the new dress code at Indianapolis schools.

INDIANAPOLIS

Indianapolis Schools Aim to Dress for Success

The new dress code regulations at Indianapolis schools are an attempt to improve the image of the school district. Superintendent Eugene White says the new dress code will change the perception of Indianapolis schools into an image of a school district that expects excellence. He says the new dress regulations will affect changes in the way Indianapolis schools look, act and teach. Although there haven't been any major studies that show that having a uniform dress code can impact academic excellence, Indianapolis schools have decided that this is a small step towards fostering an improved learning environment in schools. And one has to agree. Schools places to foster learning and build character; this focus is shifted when teenagers walk around with ridiculous clothing that aims to grab attention by any means possible. A dress code prevents distractions in classes and also eliminates any class distinctions that may arise because of the way a student dresses.

Predictably enough, the new dress code has students upset. Many students are of the opinion that some of the regulations border on the ridiculous. One student claims she was asked to go home because her jacket did not match her pants. Students at some school like Tech High School have been particularly prone to discipline action on account of dress code violations. Critics of the system say the code is more difficult to enforce in places like Tech High School because of the sheer numbers of students and the difficulty in monitoring their clothes. Others say suspending students in the Indianapolis Schools for dress code violations doesn't help make them better students. These seem to be minor glitches in a system that's still new and in the process of being tested. Once these road bumps are smoothed out, Indianapolis schools might find they have improved their image at least in terms of developing a pro learning environment in their campuses.

A New Concept of Learning by Online Classes

Many individuals believe that online classes should just mirror a traditional class. You show up at a certain time on a certain day, follow the course syllabus in order and take a test on a certain date to see if you've passed. Although some online classes are still following these outdated precepts, there is other, more progressive schools that area breaking the rules and setting new standards.

zumba classes

With the advances in technology as well as a need to have a global classroom, the changing standards are a great benefit for any prospective student. These standards include flexibility, real-world experience and practical applications.

CLASSES

Online classes must be flexible - they can no longer require attendance at a certain time of a certain day. Students in online classes regularly have classmates that are living in all different time zones and countries. Coordinating a set schedule among the individuals in this type of classroom would be an administrative nightmare. Classes must be set up so attendance can be flexible for each and every student.

Because many online classes require real-world experience in its students, following the course syllabus in order just doesn't make sense either. Students bring in their own knowledge, which makes some subjects redundant. If a student who works in the cost accounting department takes an accounting course, he may wish to breeze through or skip the cost accounting section. Students need to be able to focus on those subjects where they don't have as much experience so they can gain the knowledge they need. Therefore, online classes have to be applicable to each student's knowledge goals.

Having a passing grade from a traditional test usually means the answer was memorized. It does not mean that the student has gained any methods of practical application of the studied material. Employers nowadays are expecting more and more from their educated staff. The staff can't just spout theory; they must know how to apply it to benefit the employer. Online classes must be able to recognize and reward real world application of the study material in order to better benefit the student.

These paradigm shifts in how online classes are administered is rapidly become evident to the general public. As a result, students can learn on their own time, to fill their own knowledge gaps and to immediately be able to apply the results in their own life. This shift is creating new standards for excellence in the online educational community and the benefactors are students and employers alike.

Scuba Diving Classes - Do's and Don'ts

If you plan on getting the most out of strapping on your air tank, mask, and fins to go diving, the only practical way to do it is to complete the proper scuba diving classes first. This is one of the necessities when you seriously get into the sport, and rules and standards like it were put in place to make sure that divers do not put themselves or others in harm's way, and that everyone can continue to enjoy the activity. This article discusses some of the basic scuba diving do's and don'ts that you should think about even before taking your first open water certification class.

zumba classes

First, don't just ask somebody who has been diving a long time to teach you to dive. You may have learned to drive a car from your dad or an uncle who is a professional driver, after which you passed your driving exams and earned a driver's license, but learning to scuba dive is not as simple. Knowing how to dive is very different from knowing how to teach diving. Certified instructors follow a standard curriculum in conducting their classes, and this makes sure that all necessary skills are passed on to the student, including equipment knowledge, and proper procedures in case of emergencies that can happen while you are underwater. Don't take the risk of getting an incomplete education - it can get you and others into serious, life-threatening trouble.

CLASSES

Do prepare yourself for smooth and trouble free scuba diving classes by getting into a reasonable degree of fitness and practicing your swimming. Although it only takes a moderate level of health and fitness to scuba dive, being a reasonably good swimmer will increase your comfort level in the water, arm you for more challenging dives, and generally increase your enjoyment.

Do your research and pick the right school. In the United States, there are many certification standards (the most widely known are established by PADI and NAUI), but they all have to pass the minimum requirements of the World Recreational Scuba Training Council, so make sure that whatever class you take adheres to these standards. Consider the size of the class, the location, the facilities and state of the equipment you will use in your training, and the reputation of the school. There are plenty of diving schools almost everywhere in the world, and the most expensive tuition does not always mean the best instruction.

Do your homework, prepare yourself with a bit of healthy exercise, and take the plunge by enrolling in good scuba diving classes. It will open up a new world full of excitement and enjoyment for you, if you know your do's and don'ts.

Fun Facts About Angola - From Basketball to History!

Foreign Relations

Did you know- Present-day Angola has an independent foreign policy since the 1990s. Currently, the modern state of Angola maintains close diplomatic relations with the United States of America. It has also excellent ties with Brazil and the People's Republic of China. In December 2008, the country's ruler Jose Eduardo dos Santos, a Soviet-trained-engineer, arrived in Beijing, China's capital, for an official visit. During Cold War, in the 1970s and early 1980s, it had had rocky relationship with the White House. During that time, Luanda forged strong links with the Soviet Union (modern-day Russia), Cuba, Bulgaria and the German Democratic Republic (now Germany). Due to its anti-American policy, the Angolan rule, along with other pro-Soviet states, boycotted the 1984 Summer Games in Los Angeles, CA.

In addition, the Angolan men's basketball team will be one of the 24 squads present at the 2010 FIBA World Tournament in Istanbul, Turkey. By 1986, in the World Championships, the Angolan team, which had beat Australia (one of the world's top ten basketball teams) in the previous round, placed 20th. By the early 2000s, it finished 11th in the global tournament in Indianapolis (USA), ahead of China, Venezuela and Canada. On the other hand, the nation has competed in five Olympic tournaments (Barcelona'92, Atlanta'96, Sydney'00, Athens'04 and Beijing '08).

Pursue a Life With Purpose

What do you do to stay on the cutting-edge or to generate new ideas or growth? Do you read from a wide variety of sources? Do you seek out new people from different backgrounds? Do you find yourself drawn to new subjects? Do you then explore them, or do you say you wish you had time to explore them? Do you have a mentor either for your personal or professional life? Do you volunteer?

A few years ago, Steve Jobs, co-founder and CEO of Apple, gave an inspiring commencement speech at Stanford University, during which he expressed the need to expand your horizons and follow your heart. He explained how he dropped out of college (mostly due to financial strain on his parents) and then started "dropping in" on classes of interest. A chance decision to take a calligraphy class taught him about great typography and became very useful in creating Apple computers, eventually shaping the way we use fonts in every desktop computer today. At the time, taking a calligraphy class seemed like a useless activity, but he found it fascinating. Clearly, this knowledge became invaluable in his work and well worth the time. "You cannot connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking back," he says. Google Steve Jobs' commencement speech for details.

I think this kind of exploration comes naturally to children. My son is 7 years old and is regularly fascinated by something new-music, the planets, chess, and this week, the periodic table of elements. Instead of sleeping, we'll find he sneaks books or other materials into his bunk bed. A few days ago we found note cards in his bed related to Moh's scale, which measures the hardness of minerals from talc to diamonds. I asked him where he learned about it, and he said, in a book he picked up. I have no idea how or if these interests will shape him; I just feel it's my job to encourage exploration.

I think trying to continually learn new things makes us more interesting to others, including our spouses. Learning something new together can even bring you closer.

Each person has his or her own path in life, and meandering off the well-worn path is what makes you unique. You may find that following your interests will contribute meaningfully in your life. As Steve Jobs said, you will only be able to connect the dots looking back. What do you hope to see when you look back?

Why You Should Take Defensive Driving Classes

Defensive driving classes do not have to take up hours of your day and weeks of your time anymore. Today's defensive driving schools allow you the option of completing the coursework in a variety of ways, such as attending a class at a certified school or completing the course online.

zumba classes

For some, the classroom instruction may prove to be the most beneficial. However, for others who are very organized and able to work productively on their own, online classes are very convenient.

CLASSES

If you want to enroll for such a class, then there are several key things that you should be searching for. For traditional classroom instruction, you should find traffic schools that have local offices and class times that are convenient for you. If you choose to learn it online, then the website of the online traffic school should be available to you seven days a week, 24 hours a day.

You should also have a variety of options available to you regarding the time required to complete the course. Most importantly, the school should be certified in your state and licensed to conduct such courses. All of the instructors should be licensed and the staff at the school should be ready and willing to answer any and all questions you may have about their credentials and the coursework.

You might wonder why you should take such classes. Everyone has their own reasons, but all will benefit from learning to deal with stressful driving situations. Sometimes, insurance companies will offer defensive driving courses to their customers as a way to receive a discount on their premiums.

Others will use the classes as a way to clear their record of past infractions. Courts will often require those who have been convicted of drunken driving or road rage to complete the defensive driving course as part of the penalty for their behavior. Most driver training courses include a section on defensive driving.

Whatever your reason for taking defensive driving classes, you should have no problem finding a school to fit your needs; however, just be sure that you take the time to research the school to be sure that they meet all of your requirements. The next time you find yourself gridlocked in traffic and frustrated, remember the valuable lessons you learned in your safety defensive driving program and you will be sure to avoid a ticket or an accident. You will also be grateful that your insurance premiums are significantly lower.

How to Manage Rental Property

Though at face value it seems like an easy enough job, the truth is that there's more to managing rental property than simply showing up at your tenants' doorsteps and collecting their rent each month.

So what exactly does managing rental property entail?

CNA CLASSES IN INDIANAPOLIS

Rental property managers are usually involved with a number of tasks. These tasks mostly have to do with complying with local building codes, making sure tenants are taken care of and keeping up to date with the local housing market.

Know Your Local Laws

Because of the fact that managing property is more complex than just watching over things, landlords must be knowledgeable with local laws that encompass all aspects of renting and leasing. Among these are ensuring the clarity of the terms of any contract, whether it's a lease or a rental to make sure that there are no ambiguous clauses that would become difficult to interpret.

When drafting leasing agreements, it is also important that a landlord is able to create uniformity for the local area that will enable tenants to lease on a short term or long term basis depending on their needs.

Aside from creating clear and standardized leasing agreements, a landlord must also understand the legalities of eviction when tenants who signed those agreements fail to live up to their end of the deal. Evicting tenants is not as easy as most people think because of the laws regarding eviction that landlords need to follow before tenants can be lawfully evicted. For one, landlords are required to issue formal requests for payment before they can issue an eviction notice. Aside from this, some areas require waiting out a six-weed span between the issuance of the notice and the actual eviction. This is to make sure that the tenant has some time to dispute the notice. Again, since these are local laws, they vary from area to area and city to city.

Maintenance

Another important task that a landlord must be able to do is to maintain the rental property through regular repairs and upgrades. This includes repainting walls whenever a unit gets vacated, refinishing floors and replacement of carpets. Some of these tasks required for general upkeep must be done on a regular basis as a form of prevention, while some are done to address specific concerns regarding the upkeep of the property and are only done when necessary, as happens when tenants complain of maintenance problems in their units.

Some concerns that require immediate attention regarding maintenance are clogged pipes, faulty plumbing, heating and the like. If addressed properly, it will become easier for the landlord to create a well-managed rental property.

Keep your tenants happy

In general, a good property manager will be able to keep his/her tenants happy if they are able to do the aforementioned tasks responsibly and if they respond to their tenants' concerns in a timely manner. Maintaining open lines of communication between tenant and manager will also go a long way in improving conditions within a rental property environment.

A short trip and you are in a land of sun and progress. Dubai is a place with an economic growth rate of 6-8%, a 50% budget surplus, excellent architecture, modern infrastructure, and a booming Real Estate and construction industry. No other place in the world has the sort of Real Estate market similar to Dubai.

A lot of the property is still in the form of plans on paper but already the sale and purchase of these properties is good business. There are numerous properties that have already seen many owners despite the fact that construction has not even started. People are making money from property in Dubai that is just land with nothing on it.

CNA CLASSES IN INDIANAPOLIS

Because of factors like these Dubai has become the best place for investing in foreign Real Estate. You just have to take a look at the Dubai skyline and realize why so many people are excited about property there. It is a remarkable sight to behold in the middle of the desert. Dubai offers some of the highest standards of living when compared to any other part of the world and this only spurs on the Real Estate market growth.

Dubai is a place that is also centrally located in the Middle East making it a convenient location for business meetings among surrounding countries. Because of the great business infrastructure it has also gained a good corporate presence that has lead to excellent employment opportunities. This results in an even stronger economy because of the companies and jobs.

Despite the fact that it has so much going for it you should remember that the Dubai market is quite young. It is only as far as back 2002 that foreigners were allowed to own freehold property in Dubai. Before which only citizens could own property in Dubai, everyone else had to stay on rent.

Even today ownership is allowed only in the freehold areas. Everywhere else you can only get a 99-year leasehold that is the closest you can come to ownership. The good news is that because of the excellent response to freehold property ownership in Dubai other emirates like Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, and Ajman are also allowing foreigners to own Real Estate. Anyone who buys property anywhere in the United Arab Emirates is automatically granted a residence permit too. Note that a residence does not entitle anyone to work in the UAE.

Formula One in Austin, Texas

A new racetrack will be built in Austin, Texas and will host an F1 race from 2012 through 2021. The track will be designed by a German company, Tilke GmbH which has also built a Formula 1 circuit in Abu Dabi and is working on a similar project in India. The Austin race will be the first race in US since 2007 and the track will be the first one in America designed for F1 racing.

indianapolis 500 evolution

The United States Grand Prix was the motor race that later became part of the Formula 1 World Championship. In 2000 a Grand Prix took place at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the 225,000 audience was the largest in F1 history in the US. But in 2007 Formula 1 announced that this was to be the last year for a US Grand Prix as there were problems related to the terms of the event. For a time, there were hopes that this race would return to Indianapolis but earlier in 2010 plans were announced for a race in New York for the 2012 season. In May 2010 Austin, Texas managed to secure the deal for a ten year period starting with 2012. Eight-hundred acres were bought to the east of the city and the promoters promised that the project would be one of the most challenging and spectacular in the world.

INDIANAPOLIS

F1 is the highest class of single seater auto racing, consisting of a series of races which are called Grand Prix. The races are held on circuits that are built for this purpose but also on public roads. There are two annual World Championships for the drivers and the constructors. The cars race at high speeds up to 220 mph.

The traditional centre of Formula 1 was Europe which is where all the teams are based and half of the races take place. But recently, Grand Prix takes place all over the world. Over 600 million people watch F1 races on television and since the 1970s the sport has become a billion dollar business. Drivers from McLaren, Ferrari, Williams and Renault have won each World Championship between 1984 and 2008.The 2010 Formula 1 will be a special event for Mercedes because the circuit is close to the company's headquarters in Stuttgart.

Professional race car drivers work hard many years and have to start their careers early in life in order to become competitive. Most champions start with driving Go-karts, which are popular all over the world. This is where young drivers get their first taste of races. Kart racing helps with developing driving skills. Professional race schools are the next step and obtaining a race license is mandatory. Such race schools operate on bigger tracks in most countries. Instructors are usually professional race drivers with extensive knowledge. It is also important to create and enhance a relationship with a car manufacturer in order to become a professional driver. But the glamour associated with Formula 1 is worth the effort.

A History of the Indianapolis 500 Owners

There are only three sports, bull fighting, motor racing, and mountain climbing; everything else is just a game. While historians may argue whether this famous quote should be attributed to author, Earnest Hemingway or his contemporary, Barnaby Conrad, it is difficult to ignore the truth in its message. The truth is that competitors who gamble their lives to compete deserve some extra measure of respect. It is fitting that we acknowledge this very important distinction in honor of those who ante up.

indianapolis 500 evolution

For more than 100 years drivers from around the world have come to Indianapolis to test themselves and their machines. There is no place on earth that gives more in triumph and takes more in tragedy than the two and a half mile oval at Indianapolis. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway turns dreams into legends. None of that, however, would be possible without the loyal and fanatical support of the spectators who come each year to witness the greatest spectacle in racing.

INDIANAPOLIS

The Indianapolis 500 mile race is the largest one day sporting event in the world. Attendance, which has never been officially published, is currently estimated at nearly 400,000 thrill-seeking spectators. There are no contenders for this throne. The Indy 500 is the undisputed king of motor sport races. Fittingly, its history is equally astonishing.

THE FOUNDING FATHERS
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway was the brain child of an energetic entrepreneur named Carl Fisher. Born in Greensburg, Indiana in 1874, Carl grew up in a broken home of modest means. After dropping out of school at the age of 12 to help support his mother and two brothers, he held several menial jobs before opening his own business at the age of 17. His entrepreneurship began with a bicycle shop he opened in Indianapolis with his two brothers in 1891. The bicycle shop became highly successful due in large part to Carl's talent for outlandish promotion. He soon steered his partners into the automobile business by turning the bicycle shop into what is believed to be the first automobile dealership in the United States.

When approached by an inventor of an acetylene lamp for use on automobiles, Carl Fisher seized the opportunity to begin manufacturing head lights for the auto industry and through a series of plants around the country supplied the headlights for most every automobile and truck made in America.

Carl Fisher's dealership sold, Oldsmobile, Packard, Stutz, and the Stoddard-Dayton automobiles. On a trip to Europe in 1909 or shortly prior thereto, Carl discovered the European automobile manufacturers were building superior automobiles. He took a special interest in a large automobile test track he visited in Surrey England and came back home with plans to build one himself.

Carl was well on his way to becoming a wealthy man by this time. He had several successful ventures including a company which manufactured the Prest-o-Lite lamps installed on virtually every truck and car built in the United States. He forged friendships with other local entrepreneurs and recruited three of them to be his partners in this

new venture. James Allison, Arthur Newby, and Frank Wheeler signed on, invested their money with Carl and soon formed the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Company. They purchased a 240 acre farm a few miles northwest of Indianapolis and later expanded it to include the 530 acre property it is today.

James Allison, the inventor of the Allison Perfection Fountain Pen, met Carl Fisher through their mutual interest in the bicycle craze. Together they formed the ZigZag bicycle club. Later they joined as partners in the Prest-o-Lite venture. James Allison then formed the Indianapolis Speedway Team Company, which evolved into the Allison Engine Company that is now the Allison Transmission Company of General Motors. Rolls Royce acquired the engine building division of Allisons in 1995.

Arthur Newby was the president of National Motor Vehicle Company, located in Indianapolis. His company began its venture by manufacturing electric automobiles. Though the Company faltered in 1924, it managed to produce the winning entry for the 1912 Indianapolis Motor Speedway, before closing its doors forever.

Frank Wheeler, the fourth founding member of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, was a partner in the Wheeler-Schebler Carburetor Company, which manufactured carburetors for automobile manufactures throughout the United States. Frank Wheeler and his partner George Schebler commissioned the Wheeler-Schebler Trophy, which was the first trophy presented to winners of the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race, and the predecessor of the Borg Warner Trophy.

The farm they purchased, known by the locals as the Pressley Farm, sat near the corner of Crawfordsville Pike (now known as 16th St.) and Georgetown Rd, five miles west of downtown Indianapolis. However, another farmer named Levi Munter owned 80 acres, which sat directly on the corner of what is now 16th and Georgetown Road. The Fisher partners purchased an option on the 80 acres in December 1908 and exercised the option sometime shortly after filing their articles of incorporation for the new Indianapolis Motor Speedway Company on March 20, 1909.

In the spring of 1909, the land around the speedway was largely pasture land, but a few factories, situated just south of the site of the new Indianapolis Motor Speedway, had been in operation for several years prior. Those factories included the Prest-o-Lite company built and operated by Carl Fisher. James Allison's machine shop was also located just south of the site of the new speedway. The Allison machine shop that later became the Allison transmission and engine company is still in operation at or near the same location today. The town of Speedway was founded in 1926 and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway now sits entirely within the city limits of Speedway, Indiana.

Automobile racing was not popular at that time. Building a race course for the sake of holding automobile races, was not Carl Fisher's plan. His plan was to build a testing ground for American automobile manufacturers to test their machines and make them faster and more reliable. The races he organized in 1909 were part of his plan to promote the track and encourage automobile makers to take up the challenge. Better cars meant happy buyers which in turn brought about enthusiastic sales. Carl Fisher and his partners were perhaps better able to benefit from the anticipated boom of automobile sales than any other persons in the world. With the first automobile dealership and a manufacturing plant that made running lights for virtually every automobile made in the United States at that time, Carl Fisher was poised to make an enormous fortune.

Since 1911 when the first Indianapolis 500 mile race was run, many stories turned to legend and helped insure that the history of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway would be recorded for posterity. Flamboyant drivers, owners and mechanics came to Indianapolis to compete for the prize of fortune and fame. Some have faded into the pages of history despite risking their life, fortunes and reputations and are these days nothing more than a footnote in history. Others, however, made their mark though success or tragedy and are memorialized on the pages of historical books, photographs and film.

There is perhaps no race driver in history who did more to capture the attention and admiration of the world, than Barney Oldfield. Born Berna Eli Oldfield, in 1878 near Waseon, Ohio, Barney started his racing career by competing in bicycle races across the country. He transitioned to automobile racing by joining a friend and fellow racer Tom Cooper in a racing venture, which sprang from a short interlude with future automobile titan, Henry Ford. Ford, who's two prototype cars were difficult to start, sold both of his cars to Cooper for 0.00. Cooper put Oldfield behind the wheel and entered the car in the 1902 Manufacturer's Challenge Cup. When Oldfield beat Alexander Winton, the defending champ and odds on favorite by more than a half mile in a car built by Henry Ford, both men were catapulted into automobile history. Oldfield became synonymous with speed and Ford got the financial backing he needed to start his automobile manufacturing company. Barney Oldfield was the first man to break the 60 mile per hour barrier in a mile run at the Indianapolis State Fair Grounds a few years later. He raced in the Indianapolis 500 in 1914 and 1916, finishing 5th in both races. He never won the Indy 500, but he became a close friend and business associate of Carl Fisher.

For many years, motorcycle cops around the country, were fond of asking "who in the hell do you think you are, Barney Oldfield?", when stopping motorists for exceeding the speed limit. Oldfield, with his trademark cigar and thick black mustache, was one of the most celebrated drivers in the early years at the Indianapolis 500. His barnstorming thrill shows and record setting speed exploits also helped give international prominence to the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race.

Non-Contact Boxing Classes For Kids

For many parents, there is the assumption that boxing is all sparring or, worse, "fighting." This is really not an accurate assessment of boxing training. But, it is understandable that many adults would worry about their children being injured in such a class. Sparring does come with minor (And we do mean the risks are minor and minimal) risks, not all boxing training involves sparring at all. In fact, there are multitudes of boxing workouts that can help develop solid skills in pugilism that do not come with significant contact.

zumba classes

For example, the simple and basic process of shadow boxing can do a lot to develop skill and it comes with no risk of injury since there is no contact involved. With shadow boxing, the student will practice form, footwork, and movement. Often, it is footwork and proper body mechanics that develop a boxer's skills. Yes, ring work is important but since the student is a young child there can be plenty of time for that when the child gets older. At the beginning, form, technique, and fitness can play the main role in the training.

CLASSES

One way this process can be achieved is through a boxing award program that offers a learning progression designed to help a youngster slowly develop his skills. This process allows a young one to slowly learn the important facets of boxing without having to deal with semi-or full contact. There are a number of clear benefits to this approach. First, it develops the actual skill needed to engage in semi-contact training so that such training is easier and injury free. Secondly, it develops the critical strength and cardio vascular conditions that dramatically improve health. Remember, high levels of fitness reduce two of the top adverse health conditions in the world: heart attack and strokes. Engaging a child in a healthy lifestyle at a young age improves their quality of life exponentially. Thirdly, such a process provides the much needed focus that helps the child learn the steps necessary for skill development.

This focus is achieved by presenting tiered awards as the child's skill progresses. Awards do not fall under the category of "pass/fail" as such an approach takes a lot of the fun out of the game. Additionally, such a testing approach is self-defeating. Instead, the awards simple honor skill development and achievement. They also provide a progression for the student to follow which allows them to set goals for their achievement. When a student has a goal to focus on, they can chart progress and focus on areas of improvement. And, of course, such an approach extends far beyond the boxing gym and into life in general.

So, there is no need for parents to worry about their child's safety when it comes to non-contact boxing classes. These programs have been expertly designed to deliver a great foundation for a lifetime progression in the art and science of boxing. Children can have fun, get in shape, and develop strong discipline. Now, what more could you ask for?

How to Talk Dirty to a Guy - The 3 Top Tips to Remember

Have you had that heart stopping moment yet when the guy you are in bed with turns to you and says 'Talk dirty to me baby"?

It can be a bit of a breath catching heart stopper, I have to tell you. Certainly threw me for a minute or two until my brain whirred back up to speed.

CNA CLASSES IN INDIANAPOLIS

But it shouldn't be anything for you to get worried about or to suddenly become nervous, stammering like a cap gun on quick fire.

Remember these three top tips for talking dirty and you'll sail through it easily.

1. Guys are very basic. If you can relate your talking dirty to something they can visualize at the same time, you are going to either double or triple his enjoyment and he is going to be inundated with sensory overload. This in turn will make him think you are an absolute sex genius and the hottest thing he has ever known in his life!

Try saying something to him that draws his attention to your body or something that you are doing to him at the time. Stroke him and say 'Does that feel good baby?" Trust me, he'll say yes or grunt something at you, his voice very decidedly higher than normal probably.

When he does, change your stroking and motion and ask again "How about this - is that good too?" In other words - tease him! He will seriously love it.

2. Men are carnal beasts at the best of times. Subtle might work for some but in the majority of cases - basic is best! Don't try and get all arty farty with your guy - give it to him right between the eyes.

Tell him exactly what you want to do to him and what you want him to do to you. Use the 'F' word and as many dirty words as you feel comfortable with at the time - depending on how turned on you are and how well you know the guy! DO NOT be subtle - be direct and forceful in your language and intentions and he will respond.

Make him feel big, strong and manly! Play to his ego and his self worth with comments such as "You are so big" "Kissing your body really makes me ....." "I love the way you .....". Make it a praise statement and make it related to actual sexual activity and you are, again, on a winning run that he will lap up and want more.

Naturally - if he is a bad kisser or has a not so hot body - think of something else for which to praise him. Remember to keep the comments real and based in fact - that way they are instantly believable and devastatingly effective.

How to Rent an Apartment With a Felony

If you are looking for an apartment, one of the things you can expect is for the management at the leasing office to conduct a credit check and a criminal background check. In the last 10 years, this practice has increased and even become controversial as some apartment offices are accused of downright discriminatory behavior. Nonetheless, the practice of running background checks has become more widespread as technology makes it easier. Today, a leasing office manager need not conduct make any phone call as all the background information on a prospective tenant is easily and readily available online at the touch of a button. If you have a misdemeanor criminal conviction, chances are you may still sail through a criminal background check because most apartment managers are actually looking for felonies and this is where it gets tricky. Can someone with a felony conviction get approved for an apartment?

A felony conviction is deemed much more serious than a misdemeanor and can actually result in a denial of an apartment or other housing where a criminal background check is conducted. There are many kinds of felonies but apartments are mostly concerned with those that involve:
Violence Sex DrugsThese three types of felonies are deemed serious enough for an apartment management to deny you housing. But is there hope? If you are currently looking for housing and have a criminal felon y conviction, the first thing you need to do is come clean beforehand. Do not wait for the apartment manager to pull the record but rather, inform him or her of the existence of the record. This can be even more effective when you write, in your own words, the circumstances surrounding the conviction. In many cases, this gesture can cause you to be approved.

CNA CLASSES IN INDIANAPOLIS

Another way to gain approval would be to come with a number of references. These should be people who are reputable in the community, such as the local sheriff or fire Marshall, the local pastor or bishop, elected official or other prominent character. These references should state that they know you and that they attest to the fact that you are now a responsible individuals and the episode that surrounded your conviction is a thing of the past and is not likely to recur.

Finally, if you have a felony conviction, many apartments are willing to overlook it if it something that happened in the distant past. They tend to frown at recent convictions and will be lenient on cases that occurred years ago as long as there has not been any recent incidences.

People with felony convictions can also secure housing by approaching private landlords. While some do conduct criminal background checks, many do not.

Disability Benefits For Family Members

Physical and mental disabilities can often cause difficulty for the affected individuals and may prevent them from working, attending school, and participating in everyday activities. Oftentimes, the disability does not only affect the individual, but also his or her family. Fortunately, the Social Security Administration has a system set up to help provide benefits to relatives of a disabled individual to help with support and financial needs.

indianapolis 500 evolution

Persons may become disabled in many different ways and for many different reasons. Disability may come from accidents, illnesses, or may arise at birth. Some people find that they are still able to perform the duties required by their employer, while others may not be able to work or support themselves or their loved ones. In such cases, the person may be eligible for Social Security disability benefits.

INDIANAPOLIS

Benefits are typically paid to individuals who need financial support and are unable to perform work due to their affliction. Persons seeking disability compensation must follow the application process and may need to show their needs in court. Once disability benefits have been granted, the person may be able to receive monthly payments from the SSA.

Relatives like spouses, children, legal dependents, divorced spouses, and disabled children may be eligible for compensation from the SSA as well. These individuals can usually expect to collect a certain percentage of the disabled individual's monthly allowance, and the amount may depend on how many members are claiming benefits and how long the disabled individual worked prior to claiming disability.

With all of the factors surrounding disability claims, relatives may at least be able to gain some financial support from the Social Security Administration. Typically, family members may be able to expect up to 50% of the disabled individual's monthly rate. This number may be adjusted depending on how many people wish to claim benefits under the applicant's program. If five family members can make a claim for benefits, naturally, the amount each may receive will probably be significantly lower than if only one individual requests compensation from the SSA.

If you have been denied Social Security compensation or if you would like help with your disability claim, it may be wise to consult an experienced Social Security disability lawyer. For more information on family benefits claims and disability benefits, visit the website of the Indianapolis Social Security disability attorneys of the Charles D. Hankey Law Office, P.C.

Scar Free Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation remains as one of the top cosmetic plastic surgery procedures in the country. The use of a breast implant is a very successful and rapid method of getting breast enlargement due to the immediate placement of the implant device. Getting the implant in place, however, requires an incision somewhere to introduce the implant through into the breast pocket.

indianapolis

Scar free breast augmentation refers to using an incisional approach off of the breast. This is most easily done through the axillary (armpit) region. There are natural skin creases in the armpit (scars always are less conspicuous and heal better when placed along a skin crease) which make placing an incision easy. Also the armpit lies immediately beneath the outer edge of the pectoralis muscle where is where you want to be for breast implant placement anyway.

INDIANAPOLIS

A very small one inch (2.5cm) incision cam be made immediately below the edge of the muscle in a skin crease. Because of this small size, saline breast implants must be used as they are inserted deflated. Meaning they are rolled up like a burrito, inserted through the incision and under the muscle, and inflated after being in position through a long detachable tube. Because of this small incision size, it is not possible to use silicone gel implants because they are bigger being prefilled from the manufacturer. (it is possible to place silicone implants through this incision but it must be made much bigger...as pectoral implants are placed through this same incision)

While there is another non-breast incisional approach to use, the belly button or umbilicus, this requires dissection up through the abdominal tissues which creates pain at two sites rather than just one. I see no advantage to the transumbilical approach over the transaxillary approach.

Scar free breast augmentation has been possible for some time using an axillary incision. Dissolveable sutures are used to close the incision and there is no wound care afterwards. One can shave and use deodorants one week after surgery. The armpit scar heals so well that it is virtually impossible to detect in most patients within months after breast augmentation surgery.
