Not the OP, but my wife is a teacher and has one 50 minute prep during her day. She teaches 7 different classes. Most days the school can't find enough substitute teachers and she ends up having to sub for another class during her one prep hour.

all nuclear weapons are banned

US navy is banned from operating in NZ waters as they don't disclose what ships are nuclear powered or carrying weapons

One does not lead to the other. All of the US submarines and air craft carriers are nuclear powered (and no other ships). None of the aircraft carriers have nuclear weapons, and only the SSBN submarines can carry nuclear weapons on board. If your second statement is true (I don't know), then it is likely that NZ also is banning any nuclear powered ships; not just those with nuclear weapons.

I find it far more likely that the extra strength was required for the impact collisions. The other cars on the road in the US are just far larger and massive than those elsewhere, so a stronger heavier car is needed to stay safe.

It creates a bit of a Catch 22 when trying to bring down the average size / weight of a vehicle.

Thanks for this article. I thought that Square only supported the iPhone, not Android; is this a new development?

My brother and I are looking to sell some physical products (spice mixes / dry rubs) at farmer's markets. We were going to do Cash Only, but I just ordered my Square to handle the CC processing at the markets!

Use Windows 7 when doing engineering things (nearly all engineering programs are Windows only). Dual boots into Ubuntu for all my web development work.

OS X at work (Rails mostly & PHP).

I've thought about doing something like this for a long while. Finally I had an apartment complex a couple years ago that allowed you to pay online (e-checks only), so maybe the industry is finally ready for this.

Expect a lot of resistance to landlords letting tenants pay with anything but e-checks, though. Think about adding something like automatically sending out emails to tenants to remind them to pay the rent (opt-in on first payment)?

Oh, and I think you might be underpricing yourself.
