If you think living with your parents was difficult the first time around, it’s going to be a lot harder as an adult, living in your parents’ home with your children. It’s an arrangement that makes sense for more and more single parents, though, who often struggle to get by on one income and need help caring for their children while they head out to work. If you plan on living with your parents again, to save money or create a stable environment for your kids with caregivers you can count on, keep these four rules in mind:...

In the Air Force, airborne cryptologic language analysts translate intelligence communications or data received or intercepted while in the air. Often it’s critical for this data to be analyzed quickly to prevent imminent threats, so airborne cryptologic language analysts, who generally are fluent in a foreign language, are a key part of protecting Air Force personnel while in flight. These airmen operate and manage airborne signals intelligence information systems. Their jobs include analyzing and translating voice communications and signals, which are then used for mission planning....

After years of discussion and debate, golf’s governing bodies acted to put a stop to anchoring in golf. “Anchoring” refers to the act of bracing the grip-end of a golf club against one’s body during the stroke, or of bracing the top hand on the grip or the forearm against one’s body to create a stable “anchor point.” Today, anchoring of any stroke is banned in golf. Anchoring entered golf in much wider usage beginning in the 1980s with the introduction of long putters, a k a broomstick putters, which were braced against the golfer’s chest or chin, creating a stable fulcrum point for the putting stroke....

Definition of BPM: Beats per minute (abbreviated BPM) is the number of times a beat is repeated in one minute. BPM expresses the tempo of a song, and is indicated in notation above the very first measure: As metronome marks: ♪=224* M.M.=112 (M.M. stands for “Maelzel’s Metronome”) With tempo terms: Allegro means to play quickly, at about 112-160 BPM.

Anytime an individual borrows money, there are some inherent benefits and drawbacks. This is especially true of the commercial real estate industry where a property’s income potential and a borrower’s creditworthiness may not tell the whole story of whether or not a multi-million-dollar loan makes sense. As a commercial real estate agent, however, it is your job to make sure your clients are well informed about all their financing options. These include both traditional lending institutions like banks, as well as alternative solutions like private financiers....

Construction laborers and helpers carry out a variety of physical tasks on building sites. All construction laborers work directly under the supervision of construction foremen, and they’re required to follow building plans created by architects. Some laborers specialize as helpers.

Nostradamus is not known for his cheery prophecies. Most interpreters of the 16th-century physician, astrologer, and prophet say he accurately predicted two world wars, the rise of two Antichrists—Napoleon and Hitler—and even the assassination of John F. Kennedy. While skeptics are quick to point out that Nostradamus’s quatrains, the four-line verses in which he wrote his prophecies, are so cryptic that they can be interpreted in any number of ways, scholars who have meticulously studied his work conclude that Nostradamus has been uncanny in his predictions of some of the most dramatic events of the 20th and previous centuries....

You better watch out or the Bogey Man’s gonna get you! The Bogey Man must have been a golfer, because he lent his name to a golf score of 1-over par. At least, that’s what the golf scoring term “bogey” means today: the definition of bogey is a stroke total on a single gole that is one stroke higher than that hole’s par rating. If the hole is a par-4, and you make a score of five, that’s a bogey....

It is important for a manager to know how to recognize a discouraged employee and figure out how to help them return to their former level of production. Signs of a Discouraged Employee There are many reasons an employee becomes discouraged and the symptoms can be as varied as the causes....

Remote viewing is the controlled use of the psychic phenomenon of ESP (extrasensory perception) through a specific method. Using a set of protocols (technical rules), the remote viewer can perceive a target – a person, object or event – that is located distantly in time and space. What makes remote viewing different than ESP is that, because it uses specific techniques, it can be learned by virtually anyone. Here’s how you can experiment with remote viewing....

The Catskill Mountains have a seeming spiderweb of creeks, rivers, and streams all across their stretches. It is therefore surprising that there isn’t a whole lot of beginner to intermediate whitewater kayaking opportunities in these mountains. Sure there are hair-boat creeks to paddle after a big rain if you dare. But a basic Class III river with good road access is not to easy to find. However, spring and summer whitewater kayaking on the Esopus Creek is just what the beginning whitewater kayaker is looking for in the area....

Every great tap dancer starts their performance by putting on a good pair of tap shoes, but it can be tricky to figure out which styles are the best for each level of expertise. Tap dancers should choose the ballet slippers that best suit their needs, though most share the same core aesthetics and functions. While younger tap dancers tend to prefer the Mary Jane style, more experienced tappers may enjoy oxford tap shoes or even tap shoes with heels for an added challenge; pointe and split-sole jazz tap shoes are only for the most advanced dancers as the increased flexibility of these shoes only really sound great when dancers land each difficult dance step precisely....

Taurus is ruled by the lover Venus, and Pisces’ ruler is Neptune, often called the higher octave of Venus. The desire is for total melting in love and swimming into each other, where boundaries blur in a rhythm of languid ecstasy. Taurus likes a lot of space at first to sound out the object of desire. The idealistic Venus-inspired side of the Bull is aroused by the enchanting big-eyes and gentle nature of Pisces....

A resilient floor is capable of withstanding shock without being damaged. A resonant floor produces strong and deep sound tones. The resilience and resonance of a floor are determined by what the floor is made of and what lies underneath the floor’s surface....

The Gemini Guy has an evil twin, who makes being naughty just another adventure. Gemini is the Twins, and often they do seem like two (or more) people in one! He’s got a cutting wit, and some Geminis are judgmental, in a gossipy way. You have to have a thick skin to be friends with Gemini since they’ll tease you mercilessly. He talks faster when he’s nervous and gets so excited, it seems he’ll jump out of his skin....
