Individual Retirement Accounts: Why Bother?
.... the idea of living solely on the benefits of
social security is not realistic. In order to secure a comfortable future,
people must have some type of additional income. Sacrificing a small amount of
money into an IRA at a relatively early age could make a considerable difference
in the lives of people upon retirement. When planning for retirement,
Individual Retirement Accounts offer several benefits; however, careful
planning is essential to ensure that: upon retirement there is an adequate
amount of money saved, that the heirs to the IRA are chosen carefully, and that
unnecessary taxes and penalties are avoided.

flop. The variables on which it was based, turned out to be almost exactly
opposite.

drive more frequently due to less fuel consumption and c) look beyond
fuel economy when in the market for a new vehicle.

opportunities for building in communities that want Wal-Marts, it would be
foolish of us to pursue construction in communities that don't want us." If you

they destroy, the vacant retail space they create or their impact on commercial
property values." This is very true Wal- Mart's officers always talk about .....

revolution was another process of change. It was the process of substituting
muscle power with machine power. It took place in the 18th century in Europe
and is still happening in many parts of the world. In many characteristics it
has been similar to the neolithic revolution: it increased production, it led to
the use of resources that had been mostly unused until then and it improved the
overall quality of life. It also led to changes in the structure of society.

Almost all large pelagic and demersal fish catches are made over or near
the continental shelf, the underwater plateau around the continents and large
islands. In these waters temperatures, water depths, and the currents that
influence the amounts of available food create an environment that is highly
favourable to the existence of large schools of fish.
The animals living in and on the bottom of the continental shelf serve
as additional food sources for demersal fish. Also, most species spawn on
continental shelves, and the main nursery grounds of many species are also in
