As location varies, a different assortment of ethnicities gather to become one with the elite distribution of properties found throughout the United States. As such, the demand for luxurious homes will continue to rise in the near future; for those who are able to afford a secondary residence tend to focus mainly on elegance and style rather than capital and finance. Location Diversity Miami is largely known for its beautiful beaches and diverse population, now holding a vast of amount of Latinos as its primary international race. However, the Asian population has accounted for 8% of Florida’s international property buyers in the year of 2014, of those, 2% belong directly to the Chinese economy. On a much larger scale though, the entire Chinese market for international buyers within the United States comes to a staggering 16% according to...

...http://referaty-seminarky.cz/housing-in-the-usa/ Housing in the USA Americans are a mobile nation. The average owner stays in a house only five years, before moving somewhere else. Due to low interest rates, the majority of families in the USA own their own homes. Usually these are separate houses with yards. Houses in US are still very inexpensive compared to Europe. There is a dark side to families moving so much, and such distances. Family ties are not nearly so strong in the US as in other countries. Some parents and grown children living on opposite coasts may only visit each other twice a year. LIVING IN THE CITY Groups of owned apartments in one building (called “condominiums“ or “condos“) are not so popular as in the rest of the world. Usually they only are common in downtown areas. They are popular with people who want to buy their own home but don’t want to maintain a yard or a garden. Condominiums often have a lot of communal amenities, such as laundry room, swimming pools and fitness rooms. Young people, especially when they are single, normally can’t afford to buy a house or a condo right away. They usually live in rented apartments. There are apartments in older buildings, especially in big cities, but there are also a lot of modern apartment complexes. These apartments are almost always furnished, usually very nicely. AMERICAN HOUSES Houses vary greatly, but the dominant style of the last 30 years has been the ranch-style house. Houses are usually made...

...The world's top 10 most expensive marinas Tara Loader Wilkinson 13 Apr 2010 The world's super-yacht owners have a lot on their plate. Not only do they shoulder yearly management costs of up to 20% of their yacht's value, but they also have to find a berth for their boat - which can cost up to €2,900 ($3937) a night, according to new research on the top 10 most expensive marinas. Portofino, Italy The Italian resorts of Capri, Porto Cervo and Portofino (pictured) topped the first annual survey of the most expensive resorts in the world to berth a super-yacht, according to Wealth Bulletin, our sister title. However, prices can fluctuate wildly during peak times, especially in the famed South of France marinas of Monaco, St Tropez and Cannes. Andrea Pezzini, general manager at yacht management company Floating Life, said secret deals are common – so it helps to know someone at the marina. He said a client paid a staggering €15,000 for an overnight berth in Monaco during the Formula 1 Grand Prix race last year. 1. Capri, Italy Average daily mooring fee for super-yachts: €2,900 Number of super-yacht berths: 10 Average price of local property per sq/m: €11,688 Peak periods: The Rolex Capri Sailing week in May Officially the most expensive marina on Wealth Bulletin’s list and known as one of the Mediterranean’s most luxurious getaways for the wealthy, the tiny mountainous island of Capri off the Amalfi coast has a small marina with berths for 10 super-yachts...

...stream, lake, or wetland by either intercepting groundwater flow that discharges into the surface-water body under natural conditions, or by increasing the rate of water movement from the surface-water body into an aquifer” (USGS). An effect of groundwater pumping is the water levels below the surface decreases and the plants, vegetation, and some wildlife die because they need it survive. One of the locations on the Atlantic Coastal Plain that is experiencing the effects related to groundwater depletion is the Floridian Aquifer. The surface water flows have been reduced partly because of the saltwater intrusion that is occurring in the coastal areas of Brunswick and Savannah, Georgia, and Jacksonville and Miami, Florida. In central Florida the commercial and residential development has ultimately led to saltwater intrusion which has at times taken on in the form of sinkholes. There is also great concern about surface-water depletion from lakes in the area. This is also becoming a large problem in northern central part of Florida as well. The Floridian aquifer lies underneath the whole state of Florida, most of southern Georgia, and also in some parts of Alabama and...

...CHAPTER 9 Break-Even Point and Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis QUESTIONS 1. The variable costing income statement classifies costs by the way they behave. Variable costs are deducted from revenues to determine contribution margin and then fixed costs are deducted from contribution margin to determine operating profit. Break-even analysis involves a study of fixed costs, variable costs and revenues to determine the volume at which total costs equal total revenues. Hence, variable costing provides the variable and fixed cost classification needed to compute break-even. The absorption costing income statement uses a functional classification--manufacturing and nonmanufacturing costs--to compute gross profit and then operating income respectively. A functional classification requires cost to be classified based on the reason it was incurred, i.e., selling, administrative, or production. This classification does not separate variable from fixed costs and is therefore not useful in computing breakeven. 2. The break-even point is the starting point for CVP analysis because before a company can earn profits, it must first cover all of its variable and fixed costs; the point at which all costs are just covered is the break-even point. The formula approach requires solving for the exact break-even using the following algebraic equation: R(X)– V(X) – FC = 0; where R is revenue per unit, X is volume, V is variable cost per unit, and FC is fixed cost. The graph...

...VoIP Voice over IP Hani Aladmaai Prof. Ali Bicak IT-520: Enterprise Infra and Networks Introduction VoIP or Voice over Internet Protocol is an IP based approach to transmitting voice over a computer network. It allows a person to make voice calls using an Internet connection instead of using a phone line. The user can make phone calls free (in certain circumstances), or they may get a service provider and pay a very low rate. How VoIP works is, it converts your voice into a digital signal that will travel over the Internet. First to send voice over a digital network, it must first be converted to digital and converted back to analog at the receiving end. VoIP may allow you to make a call directly from a computer, via VoIP programs such as Skype, a special VoIP phone, or your traditional phone connected to a special adapter. The research paper will begin with an introduction as to what VoIP is, what it accomplishes, what purpose it serves and how it works; also how it is configured. Next it will discuss some of advantages and disadvantages. Legal issues will also present on the usage of the VoIP. What is VoIP?

...One of the most comprehensive surveys of abuse in foster care was conducted in conjunction with a Baltimore lawsuit. Trudy Festinger, head of the Department of Research at the New York University School of Social Work, determined that over 28 per cent of the children in state care had been abused while in the system. Reviewed cases depicted "a pattern of physical, sexual and emotional abuses" inflicted upon children in the custody of the Baltimore Department. Cases reviewed as the trial progressed revealed children who had suffered continuous sexual and physical abuse or neglect in foster homes known to be inadequate by the Department. Cases included that of sexual abuse of young girls by their foster fathers, and that of a young girl who contracted gonorrhea of the throat as a result of sexual abuse in an unlicenced foster home.[1] In Louisiana, a study conducted in conjunction with a civil suit found that 21 percent of abuse or neglect cases involved foster homes.[2] In another Louisiana case, one in which thousands of pages of evidence were reviewed, and extensive testimony and depositions were taken, it was discovered that hundreds of foster children had been shipped out of the state to Texas. Stephen Berzon of the Children's Defense Fund explained the shocking findings of the court before a Congressional subcommitte, saying: "children were physically abused, handcuffed, beaten, chained, and tied up, kept in cages, and overdrugged with psychotropic medication for institutional...
