At Georgia Storage Containers, we have an array of different size shipping containers for you to choose from. While the larger size containers offer the best bang for your buck, some folks may not have the space available on-site to accommodate a larger container.
The 10' and 20' storage container rentals are ideal for locations with limited space. The 20' container is one of our most popular rental containers. They take up minimal space but still provide plenty of room for storage. They can be utilized for just about any on-site storage application. If a 20' container rental is still too much, the 10' container will surely do the trick. All of the standard containers come with security lock boxes on the double doors.
Easy access modular rentals are also excellent for small scale storage needs. These containers come in 16' and 20' sizes and a great for locations with limited space. The main differences between the modular rentals vs standard container rentals are the doors and appearance. The modular units have roll up doors and smooth sides. The standard rental containers have double cargo doors (that swing open) and corrugated walls. If you are limited in terms of the way your doors swing out for clearance than these rentals are the best solution. All of our rentals can be used for an array of uses from storing household items to larger bulk products.

The Mercedes-Benz stadium is currently under construction and will be the future home of the Atlanta Falcons. They are confident that the $1.5 billion stadium will open by June 1, 2017. It will be the only stadium in the United States to be LEED certified at the platinum level.
However, there have been many setbacks that have threatened the timetable of the stadium opening on time. The complexity of the steel structure for the roof has caused some problems for the construction team. Pieces of the large, eight-piece retractable roof are continuing to go up with careful mechanization to ensure it opens flawlessly. Not to mention, crews struggled to stay on pace pouring the concrete for the superstructure of the stadium. The main delay is a result of the design process for the steel structure that will support the stadium's complex retractable roof.
As with many large-scale construction projects, setbacks due to poor weather conditions, changes to the structure, availability of materials, and other unforeseen delays are common occurrences. If your construction team is critically falling behind in a big project, make the job a little easier with shipping containers. Unforeseen delays could put a kink in your timeline. Be prepared and organized to help your team get back on track.
Ensure that your materials and equipment are secure and increase productivity and efficiency at your job site. Keeping your equipment and tools on-site in a container makes those items easily accessible. Georgia Storage Containers offers storage containers in varying sizes, ranging from 10 ft to 53 ft in length. Keep your tools and equipment safe from the elements and thieves. Make sure your site is complying with government regulations for safety, providing an organized and clean environment for workers.

Having a mobile office can be beneficial in the long run, especially for people in remote areas whose job locations are changing constantly. Mobile offices are also great for people who are self-employed or people who have a small business. Work will be more manageable, organized, and flexible. Mobile offices are very versatile, easy to set up, and secure. Container modifications are available, making it easy to build a custom office to your exact specification. Having a mobile office adds convenience to your life by being able to work from the same environment, with the same set-up, no matter where you are. Not to mention, a mobile office is a safe place to transport all your files and equipment from one place to another, when relocating is necessary. Whether you are looking for a temporary workplace or looking for a more permanent solution, converting a shipping container into a mobile office will offer many more advantages over renting or building a conventional office space.
Benefits of Shipping Containers as Mobile Offices
Environment – Shipping containers create quiet and comfortable work spaces. Unlike having a designated workspace inside your home where focusing can be difficult due to distractions, having a completely private office allows you to still be close by, but the separate space will help you work in peace. By having a mobile office, tasks can get done properly and on time, focusing on your business will be made easier without interruptions and noises.
Comfort – A mobile container office can be equipped with basic necessities to run the general operations of an office such as electricity, phone lines, and internet. Shipping containers are naturally spacious and come in various sizes to accommodate your specific needs.
Highly Customizable – Modifications can be made to ensure that your container office is just as comfortable and convenient as traditional offices. Typical container modifications include: HVAC system Windows and Skylights Personal Access Doors Custom Flooring Interior Paint Shelving Workbenches
Easy Transport of Container Offices A mobile office space made from a modified shipping container can be easily transported from location to location, even if the areas you work in are out-of-the-way. Shipping containers are made for use in normal transportation channels, and all that's needed for set-up is a flat surface. This means that moving your office is often easier than moving other equipment to and from the site.
Shipping containers are naturally durable and weather resistant; they are designed to withstand lengthy and frequent transports. This means that there is no need to worry about damage to the structure of the office with routine transport. And as long as you properly secure your gear, the container can handle carrying plenty of weight.
Security in Mobile Office Trailers
With any office, the safety of your equipment and your clients' information is of key importance. Mobile shipping container offices can be more secure than traditional offices, thanks to heavy gauge steel exteriors.
Shipping containers also keep the office physically secure. Because they are made of durable steel, they are effective at keeping out many common pests, such as rodents. In addition, they are wind and water resistant, meaning that you don't need to worry about water damage or instability during a storm.
Creating a mobile office out of a shipping container has never been easier. Reduce your costs of renting expensive offices in commercial buildings and save travel time by locating your office on your own property. Let Georgia Storage Containers help you find the right solution for your business needs. Contact us today at (678) 829-5902 to discuss your options in greater detail. Speak with our team of container experts to get a more in-depth mobile office quote or to answer any questions you may have. Feel free to complete an online quote form as well.
Another school year is upon us. Many children and young adults are heading back to school this month. Teachers and administrators are preparing lesson plans to further the education of their students. Many schools are either under construction or trying to complete projects before the new school year. Summertime is ideal to complete renovations or start new construction projects, however as the school year quickly approaches, many schools are in a race against time to get the projects complete. In the event a school does not complete construction in time, a temporary on-site storage solution will be necessary.
Storage containers are ideal for short-term and long-term projects because of their mobility and flexibility. Storage containers provide a safe and secure place for teachers and administrators to store teaching supplies, computers, equipment, desks, and other materials. No need to haul everything to another facility and then have to haul it all back after a few months. On-site storage is convenient and hassle free, teachers and administrators can move items back into their classroom at the their own pace. Portable storage provides an alternative for teachers and administrators to safely store valuable supplies. Construction might force some areas of the school to be closed, which means indoor storage facilities may be temporarily converted into classrooms.
Storage containers are great for storage of items that might not get used on a daily basis, such as PE equipment, art supplies, science experiments, theater costumes and props, and other miscellaneous items. There is always a need to store equipment that is too large to store inside, such as extra chairs and tables, seasonal sports equipment, and even janitorial supplies. Storage containers are the perfect storage solution for a school environment because they are practical, secure, durable, and affordable.
School Applications:
Equipment Storage Shed – Containers can be placed near the athletic field, gym, or locker rooms for easy accessibility, convenience, and safety. Storage containers are customizable and can even be painted in your school colors. Your equipment will also be safe, secure, and out of harm's way. Containers can also be converted into locker rooms or computer labs with some modifications done. Storage containers are great if you are on a tight budget but space is limited or runs out.
General Storage – Great for storing bulk supplies such a paper, paper towels, toilet paper, books, paint, arts and craft supplies, records, files, or other important documents. Unused furniture can also be stored safely and out of the way.
Classroom Overflow – Schools that have been closed are re-opening because of the overflow of children entering the school system. Overcrowded classrooms are becoming a trend that affects both the students and teachers negatively. Students do not get the one-on-one direction, teachers are stressed, and no personal connection is made between the student and teacher. By creating classrooms out of storage containers, you can reduce the number of students in each classroom and create a more productive environment. Students can actually get the adequate resources they need to succeed. Students can learn in a comfortable environment without have to be crammed in and ignored. A modified storage container is an affordable solution for schools looking for more space or to expand.
Modifications Available: Electrical packages Insulation Heating/Air Conditioning Fixed Shelving Custom Paint Doors Windows Skylights

Create a rotating schedule- This does not have to be a strict schedule. You can add or take out items at your leisurely pace and make a schedule that's convenient for you. It is a good idea to create a schedule where seasonal items are being put into and taken out of the container. For example, the month of June would be a great month to make the switch, store the winter equipment and take out the summer stuff.
Reclaim you space- Take back the space in your garage. Nobody wants to park their car outside. Your car is vulnerable to theft, bad weather conditions, and even at risk for being covered in bird poop or other grime. Clear out the garage and put all your seasonal items into a storage container.
Protect your things- When items are left outside they will become damaged quickly because of unpredictable weather conditions. For example, patio furniture left out in the rain will lose the aesthetic appeal and become all mildewy. Storing seasonal items in a container will ensure protection of items that you only use for a couple of months throughout the year.
Spring cleaning made simple- When the rain just won't go away and you are spending more time in your home, clutter begins to accumulate. Seasonal clothes and other belongings are taking over your closets and drawers. Clear out the unused clutter into storage container. The transition from winter to spring is a great time to organize your home. Time for spring cleaning!
Store Seasonal items- Do you still have that fake Christmas tree up from 6 months ago? Or maybe you still have your lights up? There is no need to have decorations sitting around for holidays that have already passed by. Time to get the holiday stuff out of the house and into a storage container. Put away seasonal sports equipment such as skis, snowboards, kayaks, jet skis, and other large equipment as well. A storage container will guarantee safekeeping of seasonal equipment when they are not being used.
Georgia Storage Containers can help you clear up the clutter taking over your life. Do you see clutter building up in your home? Is your car parked outside because your garage is too full? GSC can help determine which container options are best for your seasonal storage plan.

When a customer needs something you don't offer, you can send them down the road. Or, you can find a way to fill the need. Rick Nuckols got started in the portable storage industry by choosing option number two.
"Right after I left the Coast Guard, I was in the construction industry," he says. "I was working in the field as an ironworker, and also as an estimator. And somebody came into the facility and wanted some containers repaired and stored. So, I put together a small company to do that."
This was around 1976, and Rick's small company became Old Dominion Container Repair. He served as president until 1988.
"In 1988, I founded Container Technology Inc. and signed a contract with GE/Genstar to handle all their sales for North and South America," Rick says. In 1991, Genstar purchased Itel Containers, becoming the largest leasing company in the world.
"When they purchased Itel, one of the divisions Itel had was Instant Space. They came to me and said they'd buy me out of my contract, and hired me as director of Instant Space for the U.S.," says Rick.
Rick set up an office in Atlanta. However, Instant Space relocated to the San Francisco bay area in 1994. "I took that opportunity to leave the corporate environment and get back into what I truly enjoy, which is being an entrepreneur."
At the time, Rick had a business partner, Wayne Lawson. They asked Amy Gilbert from Instant Space to join their new venture. The three of them re-built Container Technology from the ground up.
"We had 20-some containers and got back into the storage and leasing business," says Rick. "We grew the business over a very short period. We had 1,200 containers by 1997. It was a time in the industry when people were just starting to figure out all the applications they could use containers for."
William Scotsman approached Rick about buying his storage fleet.
"It was an asset sale, not selling the company," he says. "Our noncompete was only for the storage side, so we continued doing sales around the country, and also modifications. In 2001, we started another dry storage division, so we were back to sales, modifications, refrigeration, and dry storage."
As Container Technology continued to grow, it gained more suitors.
"In 2007, we had two national companies contact us about buying out our dry-storage fleet," Rick says. "We had to decide whether to keep it and continue to grow or focus on other areas. The fleet was over 1,000 containers. We sold the fleet. Not a lot of companies have sold their storage fleet twice."
Rick and his team continued doing sales, modifications, and refrigeration. But in 2012, the terms of the fleet-sale contract let them get back into dry storage.
Container Technology has continued to grow. "I guess it's a combination of timing, being blessed, and making good decisions," says Rick. "And our philosophy is always get the right people that are a good fit for what we're trying to do.
Rick says that integrity, intelligence, and loyalty are the keys to finding the right players.
"I used to be a micromanager, and I'm someone who's always had high expectations for myself and anybody who works with me," he says. "But I always try to be fair and open about what's going on and where we're going and how. I try to give them the tools they need to succeed. We try to create an environment where they treat it like it's their own business. Making people feel appreciated is so important."
Rick builds that sense of ownership by basing compensation on the success of the business overall. He also helps his employees develop their careers.
"I started as a temp receptionist in 1992 for Genstar," says Amy. "Now, I own 40 percent of Container Technology. That tells you what kind of person Rick is. He loves to see everyone around him be successful."
It sounds like Rick leads by example.
"Rick is somebody who gives 110 percent in every single thing he does. He's enthusiastic and energetic – it's contagious," says Amy. "He loves to teach and mentor people. He likes to help people be the best they can be. He's encouraged me over the years to do things I never thought I could do."
Rick says he's benefited from similar support.
"I wouldn't be where I am today without my wife of 47 years," he says. "To have someone who believes in you, who lets you put your house up as collateral? It makes all the difference. There were lots of guys who were smarter than me in this industry. However, they didn't have that support behind them. But Sharon knew I was an entrepreneur and she gave me her unconditional support."
Now, Rick gets to reap the benefits of building his business and team.
"This is the best team that I've ever had," he says. "I get to be at the end of my career and watch them grow the business. It's really, really rewarding. They are my 'business family.' Every day I come here, I'm excited."

The leadership of a new, marquee pharma manufacturer company approached KPMG with a paradox: It was certainly marquee, but not new. As the highly publicized spin-off of a global health services conglomerate, the company began life with $18 billion in annual revenues, an established product pipeline and instant membership in the S&P 100. Reliant on the back-office functions of its former parent, it needed to quickly acquire the operational sinews of a truly standalone company.
During an intensive three-year engagement, KPMG designed and put into place new core processes for finance, operations, and human resources, all of which was enabled by new ERP and HCM systems. The multidisciplinary assignment eventually touched the lives of every one of the company's 21,000 employees, in 170 countries. And as KPMG delivered tangible results, something intangible emerged—a new company culture, independent in name, spirit and operational fact.
KPMG worked with client leadership to forge, from scratch, an operational "spine" precisely tailored for a new single-purpose business mission. The work synergized KPMG expertise in process, technology, people and change management. Benefits include:
Working together with client leadership, KPMG developed a foundation target operating model—based upon standardized processes, automation, globally integrated reporting, and shared services delivery—to continuously inform 80 specific assignments within the master engagement. KPMG:
While M&A spinoffs are typically singular events for leadership in newly-independent entity, they typically unfold in foreseeable stages. KPMG insight gleaned from similar assignments can help clients anticipate and navigate developments as they move towards their goals.
As the strategic pendulum swings towards corporate dis-aggregation, clients set upon divestiture need partners that can combine global scale, breadth of specialty offerings, and ability to execute at speed.
KPMG complies with the auditor independence rules of the AICPA, SEC, PCAOB and DOL. As a result, some services described herein may not be available to our audit clients. KPMG audit clients should check with their respective lead audit partner for more information.

Posted Friday afternoon, May 11, 2018.
In his introduction to the paperback edition of "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold", John le Carré reflects on how the book became an instant bestseller because readers took it for near nonfiction, an "authentic" depiction of the spy trade at the height of the Cold War. It never was that. If it had been, le Carre has pointed out again and again, the British government would never have allowed him to publish it. The book has endured as a classic because it's a realistic portrayal of human nature as it expresses itself under the cover of politics and, not incidentally or tangentially, business.
The novel's merit, then---or its offense, depending on where you stood---was not that it was authentic, but that it was credible. The bad dream turned out to be one that a lot of people were sharing, since it asked the same old question that we are asking ourselves fifty years later: how far can we go in the rightful defense of our Western values without abandoning them along the way? My fictional chief of the British Service---I called him Control---had no doubt of the answer:
"I mean you can't be less ruthless than the opposition simply because your government's policy is benevolent, can you now?"
Today the same man, with better teeth and hair, and a much smarter suit, can be heard explaining away the catastrophic illegal war in Iraq, or justifying medieval torture techniques as the preferred means of interrogation in the twenty-first century, or defending the inalienable right of closet psychopaths to bear semiautomatic weapons and the use of unmanned drones as a risk-free method of assassinating one's perceived enemies and anybody who has the bad luck to be standing near them. Or, as a loyal servant of his corporation, assuring us that smoking is harmless to the health of the third world and great banks are there to serve the public.
---from the introduction to "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold" by John le Carré.

Toronto. Russ Forfar, one of our speakers this year, a long time member of the PHSC and a frequent table holder at our fairs, sent me an interesting email late last month on a Russian Photography magazine.
The Open Culture website has an article on this magazine. Archive.org has a link to a free download of 437 Issues of the Soviet Photo Magazine covering its first issue in 1926 through 1991. (I had trouble getting the Open Culture link to work for me.) This magazine was the Soviet Union's Historic Photography Journal.
The issues all have many photographs (even in colour in later issues) but the articles and other text is in Russian so you need to know the language and the Cyrillic alphabet.

School Improvement Priorities
At Chapelford Village Primary School, we continue to strive to improve and develop in our vision to become an exceptional school. Our School Improvement Plan (SIP) sets out priorities that we want to achieve over the academic year. We would like to share our priorities with you and explain what we are doing to achieve these, and how you can support the school to meet our goals.
Our SIP priorities for 2019 – 2020 are as follows:
Quality of Education
Through Quality First Teaching further develop consistency and secure high standards of work and expectations in all lessons in ALL subjects across the school to develop fluency to apply their knowledge as skills.
Behaviour and Attitudes
To further develop consistency in pupil's behaviour and attitudes ensuring that all pupils demonstrate respect for diversity and difference in all forms across the school. As a result, all pupils show high levels of self-control and positive attitudes to their education.
Personal Development
To further extend the personal development of all pupils to ensure that they have access to wide and rich opportunities that strengthen the school's curriculum offer and continues to develop pupil's character.
Leadership and Management
To ensure that all subject leaders are relentless in maintaining high quality monitoring evaluation and review for further developing the quality of teaching, learning and pupil's outcomes in ALL subjects.
Early Years
To further develop the indoor and outdoor learning environment is fully accessed by pupils and provides exceptional and challenging learning opportunities which fully develop all the characteristics of effective learning.
How parents can support our priorities?
We believe that having the support of parents is vital in achieving our priorities and securing the improvement of the school.
Parents can support our priorities by ensuring that children attend school each day and are punctual, arriving at school on time to start their learning, so that they receive their full educational entitlement. Parents can also support their child's learning by accessing and using the school's website which is full of relevant and important information about your child's current curriculum learning and other useful learning support tools.
You can help us further develop an exceptional school by promoting the school's ethos:
- Learn, Achieve Respect.

Model rocketry was developed during the "space race" era in response to rocket enthusiasts constructing their own rockets out of more dangerous materials and propellants. Today, model rocket kits and motors can be purchased in almost every hobby shop and toy store. Kits are designed for all ages and all levels of challenge, from simple starter kits to complicated scale models. Learn about aerodynamics, responsibility, and rocket safety while experiencing the rush of a successful launch of your very own rocket.

At the Rocky Mountain Hobby-Expo we'll have a rocketry workshop as well as a Rocket Make N Take which will help you build your first rocket and give you a certificate towards a free motor and ignitor at a local scheduled launch. The Make and Take requires a $5 material fee and a parent to be present during the class. Space is limited, so sign up early at the show. These offerings are brought to us from our friends at HobbyTown Alamosa, Colorado's Rocketry Specialists.

Increasing Number of Flu Cases in Cascade County
The 2012-2013 flu season started earlier than in recent years. The number of cases has been steadily climbing each week, and there is a dramatically higher incidence of flu than what was being seen last year at this time. In fact, during the last week of Decemberr, there were 57 reported cases of influenza in Cascade County compared to just one case during a similar time period last year. The City-County Health Department (CCHD) reminds residents to get their flu shots to protect themselves and their loved ones from influenza.
Influenza, or the flu, is a contagious respiratory illness with symptoms that may include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Influenza can be a severe respiratory illness that lasts for a week to two weeks and can cause serious complications, even death.
Although flu season started earlier than previous years and there seems to be more cases, the good news is there are no reported deaths associated with influenza so far this year in Cascade County. The other bit of good news is that there are ways to prevent the flu. "A flu shot is the best protection against the flu, and it isn't too late," states Jill Boettcher, CCHD Public Health Nurse. "Please take this important step to protect yourself and those around you from this potentially life threatening illness." The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends flu shots for everyone 6 months of age and older.
The flu virus is contagious and spreads from person to person through droplets when sneezing or coughing. It can also be spread when a person touches an object that has the virus on it and then touches their mouth, nose or eyes. That is why it is essential that people practice good healthy habits, like washing their hands, covering their coughs and sneezes and staying home when sick.
Most people who get the flu recover within a week to two weeks, although complications such as bacterial pneumonia, dehydration and worsening of chronic health conditions can arise. These complications can result in hospitalization and, in severe cases, death. The CDC reports that in the United States "flu-associated deaths range from a low of about 3,000 people to a high of about 49,000 people each year."
Flu shots are available at the City-County Health Department every Tuesday from 8:00-11:30am and Wednesday through Friday from 8:30-11:30am and 1-4:30pm. No appointment is necessary. Shots cost $21 for children and $32 for adults. Medicare, Medicaid and Healthy Montana Kids are accepted along with cash, checks, credit cards and other insurances.
For more information on influenza and immunizations, visit CCHD's Prevention Services page.

Skills – My Most Valuable Advice

This spider buries itself in the sand and strikes from ambush at prey that wanders too closely. Sand particles adhere to cuticles on its abdomen, thus acting as a natural camouflage if uncovered. If disturbed, it will run a short distance and bury itself again. The six-eyed spider has a poor sense of direction, unlike other species of spiders. :)
The Six Eyed Sand Spider is covered in small hairs called setae (a stiff hair, bristle or bristle-like process or part of an organism), which serve to hold particles of sand. This provides effective camouflage even when the spider is not buried.
The Six Eyed Sand Spider has a body length up to 0.6 inches (15 millimetres) and the width across the legs is about 2 inches (50 millimetres). Most species are reddish-brown to yellow in colour without any distinct patterns. Six Eyed Sand Spiders often camouflage themselves with sand particles wedged between body hairs in order to blend into the background of their specific habitat. The Six Eyed Sand Spiders are shy and secretive, however, they will bite when accidentally contacted.
Toxicology studies have demonstrated that the venom is particularly potent, with a powerful hemolytic/necrotoxic effect, causing blood vessel leakage, thinning of the blood and tissue destruction. Sicarius bite treatment should be directed, as with all cytotoxic bites, at prevention of secondary infection and combating Disseminated intravascular coagulation if it develops. No anti-venom exists for it.

You do not need to spend the next 15 years of your life trying to repay a student loan that you borrowed.You may even have to move back with your parents until you can manage on your own.
I have never taken a student loan because I wanted to graduate college as free as a bird. I have the choice of spending an extra year to work and study without a loan or finish on time with the loan. Well,I must say that up until this point I am debt free and I just have a year and a half to go.
Most of my colleagues are finish and keep complaining that the student loan bureau is withdrawing too much from their salary. Not only that but the interest rates keep increasing and their pictures were placed in the papers if they did not meet the deadlines on a monthly basis.
At the end of the month, they only have money for transportation to carry them back to work for the coming month. Here I will be providing you with some easy strategies that you can use to repay the loan in a quicker and more efficient time span.
Make a Payment Plan.
My adviser usually tells me that if I fail to plan, I plan to fail. You need to have a plan as to when you will be making payments, how much it will be and the time span that it will take. Almost everything in life is negotiable and this is one aspect. Sit with your loan servicing agents and talk things over.
Some agencies give a time span in which you have to repay the loan. it can be 10- 20 years, depending on what you studied and how much you took. You do not want to take this long to repay your loan.
Start making payments as soon as you finish college. Ensure that each month you are putting in more than the amount that is required from you. This is an effective method.
Also, if you should get a raise or a bonus at work, please don't go out shopping or be doing some other stuff with the money. Make the sacrifice and put the extra dollars towards your loan payment.
Be realistic in your approach and always try to meet the deadline that is given you to pay.
Make a Budget
When repaying a loan you have to make it a priority. The reason why many college graduates find themselves taking 15-20 years to repay a loan is because they do not see it as a priority. They rather achieve all others goals instead of covering their debts first.
If you don't need a new car don't get one. Repaying a student loan means to live on the basic necessities. You do not need to go clothes shopping every month, eat out every night or giving yourself a treat too often, limit your spending. Really all that you need is the basic necessities, Food, shelter and clothing.
Hold back on the credit card spending and try the envelope system. This is where you put cash for the week or month that you will need in it and when it is finish, it is just finish. This will help you to keep tabs on your spending habits.
Just live within your means. You may be working hard and believe that you need to enjoy life by blowing up a few dollar on things like taking a trip etc. There are many ways to have fun that is cost effective. You don't always have to pay an arm and a leg to feel good.
Keep Track of all Paperwork
If you want to be paying more than what you agreed one, then not keeping tabs on documentation can make you pay more than you wish. It is good to be knowledgeable of a time frame when the repaying of the loan would be up.
Keeping track of paper work means monitor the amount of funds that is being withdraw from your salary on a monthly basis. We are in a technological age so it can be easier to keep tabs by using you devices at the touch of a button.
Usually I ask for a print out or do it myself when I visit the finance office at my university. Yea you can call me old fashion! When I go home I would look at the previous semesters and make the comparisons wether the school fee was raised, the interest rate and areas for charges.
Because of keeping track at all times I was able to get a rembursement of $9,000 that was mistakenly charged to my account. This was one account of three mistaken charges. It can save you by just rechecking.
Many companies have tons of people dealing with. No one is perfect but do not allow mistakes to be made with your payments.
Be A Go-Getter
You may still be in college. You can do a part time job while going classes and this will be able to reduce the amount of money you will pay when you finish. Even if it is to pay down a $50 per month this could take off your interest charges.
Seek scholarships: If you know you are an "A" or average student with a good GPA, then the chance is that there are scholarships within your area. Sometimes students who are on a student loan are not eligible however, you can seek out these scholarships by visiting the student aid office on campus or find businesses around the town area that may be offering grants. All some require of you is to do a little 20 or so hours of volunteer service.
While in college if you get other assistance than the student loan, take it and put a hold on the loan for a year or so, or you can still be on the loan and use the money as a payment towards covering it. Whichever works best for you.
Moving May Work
As I earlier talked about living within your means this is an option that may work for you. You can move back with your parents. You may not like the though but this could save your a few bucks that you would be spending on rent and bills every month.
Even if you contribute to the bill expenses at home this it will not be as high as what you would be paying for rent. You can try turning the basement into a little apartment for yourself for the next two years until the loan is covered.
Oh and remember you are an adult so do not take it for granted living on your folks. Show some level of independence. Have a positive outlook as you focus on the goal of clearing your. Repaying your loan faster is the aim.
The Best Method
Here is an opportunity where you can easily earn a second income from the convenience of your home. You will be covering your loan in less than 3 years. You can start today and see if this is what you really need.
This method is what I have been using to pay my college expenses not owing my university a dollar and looking forward to graduating. I don't know whether or not I will be getting a job after leaving college, but I am pretty much not worried about that as the earnings prove to even better than what most jobs could offer.
You can learn more on how to get started. You do not need to quit your job in trying out this program. A 9 to 5 day job may fail you but am sure this method will not.
There is no cost to learning and trying for FREE. I anticipate you trying the program and meeting you on the inside.You can
Start with $0

Some people irritated over Abele campaign mailer
GAB says it's a legal practice but not proven effective
A new mailer put out by County Executive Chris Abele's campaign isn't sitting well with some residents.
Rachel Koshkin wasn't happy when WISN 12 News Hillary Mintz showed her a campaign mailer from Abele listing her husband's full name, address and voting record from 2008 and 2012.
She never got the flier in her mailbox, but immediately saw red flags.
"We weren't here in 2008. This doesn't tell the whole story. We didn't live here at the time," Kushkin said. "He's military, so he's back and forth, so this could look like he never voted here, but it could be for good reason."
The fliers sent out this week list about 10 names and addresses of people in different neighborhoods.
According to the fliers, the purpose is for people to see if their neighbors voted in previous elections, and if they didn't, to go to their door and tell them to get out to the polls Tuesday.
"It's not for me or anybody else to kind of go knock on their door and say, 'Why didn't you vote in 2008?' and to randomly pick these names. You don't know their particular situation or background; seems rather unfair to kind of publicly shame," Koshkin said.
Abele's campaign manager told WISN 12 News, "This is a campaign best practice utilized across the political spectrum that uses publicly available data."
The Government Accountability Board confirmed it's legal and based on public voter record.
The GAB acknowledged the practice isn't going over well with residents, and said it hasn't found any concrete evidence to prove the method is effective.

Career opportunities
Prospects at the labour market and higher than average remuneration
Surveys of the labour market emphasize that specialists with knowledge of high technologies and nanotechnologies, and practical skills, will dominate in the list of the most promising future specialities. According to the data of Research and Higher Education Monitoring and Analysis Centre (MOSTA), the graduates are marketable at the labour market and their remuneration is higher than average in the market.
"I would suggest the studies of Applied Physics for the graduates of secondary school, who like sciences, but are not sure which particular speciality they want to study. Graduates of Applied Physics studies can easily direct their knowledge towards specializations of various areas, even though it might take longer than graduating from the desired speciality." – UAB "Elinta", Director, Vytautas Jokužis.
"I started working at the company "Leggato" as a storekeeper and then climbed my career ladder, only because I acquired a wide range of technical knowledge during the studies of applied physics: starting with acoustics, geometrical optics, strength of materials or computer graphics. The basis of acquired knowledge is enough for successful work, but deeper knowledge of physical phenomena and their application, as well as mathematical calculation or simulation, is necessary for career development. Studies of physics have taught me to find analytical solutions of technical problems. I am glad that studies not only expanded my knowledge horizons, but also created a strong scientific ground. At work, I constantly apply the knowledge, acquired during bachelor and master degree studies of applied physics. I could not identify the most significant modules, because all of them were significant and useful." – UAB "Leggato", Manager, Dainius Bernatavičius.

We have put together a list of the best things to see and do in Malta, carefully chosen by locals and our team.
One of the first references outsiders get from Malta is a boiling hot country with few sandy beaches. It would be a huge mistake to dismiss it at that.
Valletta's Old Town
Narrow hilly streets with the sea as a backdrop makes for one of the most charming experiences in Malta. Restaurants, bars, souvenir shops, museums and more can be found while wandering around the Old Town. A personal recommendation is to end your walk overlooking the harbour at Upper Barrakka Gardens; if you're the adventurous type make your way down to sea level, where you can find paintings on the walls dating back to the II World War.
THE fishing village in Malta. Hundreds of colourful tiny boats rock gently opposite a seafront lined with bars and a daily fish market that attracts people from all around the country. Keep your eye open for the occasional WWII outpost, built by the Briitish to protect the harbour.
Popeye Village
Located in the north of the island, it is actually the set of the 1980 musical "Popeye". Here, you can try wine, have fun on water trampolines, fill up your camera's memory or simply wander around in awe. One of the best views of the village can be enjoyed from the cliff next to the entrance, so be sure to check it out before heading down!
Xlendi Bay
The island of Gozo is a good pick if you want to avoid the crowds and feel like a local. In the southwest of the island we came across Xlendi, a small picturesque coastal town where we ended up staying a week. The rectangular-shaped bay is lined with bars and restaurants, and is also the starting point of many hikes and trails with astonishing views.
Blue Lagoon
This could easily fall within the "do" things, but it is such a beautiful area that we think it is a good fit in this section. The stretch of sea between Comino and Cominotto is famously known as the "Blue Lagoon", and it's no surprise: warm crystal clear waters invite everyone to take a dip, or even to swim to the island opposite!
Eat a Ftira in Valetta
After exploring the winding streets of Valetta, nothing better than to end up in a typical Maltese restaurant munching on a Ftira, a ring-shaped loaf of bread that can be made with different fillings: tuna, potato, olives, onion… It is a simple but tasty Maltese recipe, and anyone visiting should try it 😋
Mix with locals in Birzebugga beach
One of the few beaches where I felt I was the only tourist there. It's on the main flight path into Luqa Airport, so if you're an aviation geek you'll feel right at home. It's also next to the port, so there is always plenty going on!
Swim in the inland sea pool in Dwejra
Right next to the site of the fallen Azure Window, in Dwejra, you can swim in an inland pool, and even take boat rides in and out of the caves. A good moment to visit is late afternoon, when the sunset over the cliffs creates a magical moment.
Hit the bars and clubs in Paceville
The most important stretch of bars and nightclubs on the island. Many start the night on board a boat party, and end it at St. George's Bay in an improvised beach party. In between, pick your favourite bar and while away the hours!

Alex joined EV in 2018 just after graduating from the University of Vermont with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering.
Before attending UVM and on summer breaks, Alex worked for a local architect in his hometown of Ocean City, New Jersey. While at UVM, Alex was a Teacher's Assistant for AutoCAD and Revit. He performed research for 2 faculty members. One of the research projects was for course development on how culture influences building design in Southeast Asia. He also interned at the City of Burlington in the Department of Public Works focusing on capital improvement projects for the City. He is currently working toward obtaining his P.E. license with the valuable work experience he is gaining at Engineering Ventures.
A few of his current projects include the Vermont State House Dome Rehabilitation, Red Clover Commons Senior Living Apartment Complex, Armory Lane Affordable Housing, Plainfield Pedestrian Bridge, Private Boat House in Essex, NY, and Boardwalk in Tisbury, MA.
Why did you choose EV?
The people here are amazing and in a town I love. As an entry-level engineer it's great to have so many talented engineers to learn from.
What gives you the most satisfaction in your work?
It's awesome bringing concepts to reality, from simple sketches on paper, to analysis, and then final drawings for construction.
What's your favorite way to pass time?
I love to get outdoors on the weekends, this summer I took up windsurfing on the Lake, and can't wait for ski season to start this winter!
What's the best advice you've received—so far?
Thinking outside of the box: we can't solve problems with the same thinking we used to create them – Einstein
If you were deserted on an island, what one thing would you want to have with you?
Might as well have a surfboard!
Who or what inspires you?
My Dad's music.
What 3 words best describe you?
Reliable, deep-thinker, creative.
What is your proudest accomplishment to date?
In high school for my Eagle Scout project, I designed/built a discus and shotput throwing facility for my former middle school's track and field team – it was my first project and is still used today.
How does engineering make a difference in the world?
We design the built environment, and a lot of what gets built by us outlasts us, so engineering really is a responsibility beyond public safety and economy. We have a greater impact on well-being and the environment as a whole.
If you had to choose a different career, what would it be?
I would still be a structural engineer
What is your favorite project you've worked on?
Renovating the VT Statehouse is really something special, but there's so many projects I've enjoyed here that it's hard to say.

Virgin Hyperloop One, a Los Angeles company developing a super-fast transportation system, announced it has raised $50 million from foreign venture capital investors and made Richard Branson the chairman of its board of directors.
The new round of funding came from Dubai's DP World and Russia's Caspian Venture Capital. Axios, which first reported the story, called the money a lifeline for a company so low on cash that the jobs of some 300 employees were at stake.
Virgin Hyperloop One did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The funding round will help the company focus "on accelerating commercial agreements for both passenger and cargo projects," Chief Executive Rob Lloyd said in a statement.
In October, Virgin Hyperloop One received $85 million from several investors, including Branson's Virgin Group (resulting in the company's name change from Hyperloop One). With the addition of this week's $50 million investment, the company has raised $295 million since its 2014 founding.
The funding caps a tumultuous 18 months for the company. In summer 2016, co-founder Brogan BamBrogan sued fellow co-founder and investor Shervin Pishevar, alleging wrongful termination. Among the allegations laid out in the suit were nepotism, assault and threats made with a noose. They settled the suit that November, but BamBrogan launched a competing hyperloop company.
Pishevar was further embroiled in controversy this month when multiple women accused him of sexual misconduct. He denied the allegations but resigned from the venture capital firm he co-founded, Sherpa Ventures, and took a leave of absence from Virgin Hyperloop One.
Virgin Hyperloop One is one of a handful of firms developing technologies in which passengers and cargo can be loaded into pods that travel at high speeds through low-friction tubes above or below ground. For example, the firm envisions 30-minute trips between Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
The others include Boring Co., led by Elon Musk — who also founded Tesla Inc. and SpaceX — and Arrivo Corp., led by BamBrogan and other former Hyperloop One employees. Musk popularized the idea of such technology, unveiling a design in 2013.
Also, Virgin Hyperloop One said it had set a new speed record of 240 mph at its test site in Las Vegas.
