Marshes_Landowner's guide

Marshes are shallow-water areas that sustain water-loving plants such as cattail, sedge, arrowhead, bulrush, water lily, and pondweed. Marshes found in Michigan include wet meadows with grasses and sedges, potholes with cattails, and shallow vegetation zones along Great Lakes shorelines. While  marshes are generally covered by standing or slow-moving water, certain marshes dry out late in the growing season or during dry years. This fluctuating water level is part of the natural process, which increases plant and habitat diversity, and productivity of the marsh.

resource: wiki

基督复临安息日会（英语：Seventh-day Adventist），是基督教的一个福音教派，源自19世纪中期美国的米勒派运动，该组织成立于1863年，以遵守圣经于创世纪中上帝所设立的每一周的第七天为安息日(Sabbath)（即星期六）(创2:1-3)为安息日和宣扬基督再临为人所知。

基督复临安息日会的神学观点大致取自福音派，例如三位一体和圣经无误等。另外有独特的教义则包括死人无知觉和查案审判等。另外，这个组织也因强调饮食和健康，宣扬宗教自由和强调信心与行为是并行的，及提倡以上帝为中心的生活方式为人所知。

Tips for Maximizing Repair Deductions (Tax)

As far as taxes go, repairs to rental property are always better than improvements. Why? The entire cost of a repair is deductible in a single year, while the cost of an improvement to rental property may have to be depreciated over as much as 27.5 years.

How do you tell the difference between a repair and an improvement? Here’s the basic rule from the IRS: An expense is for an improvement if it:

• makes a long-term asset much better then it was before
• restores it to operating condition, or
• adapts it to a new use.

In contrast, expenses you incur that don't result in a betterment, restoration, or adaptation are currently deductible repairs.

Here are some tips to help you ensure that an expense will constitute a repair, not an improvement.

圣经中的8个希律

来历：在主前57年，罗马大将军庞培（Pompey)在编制东方属地时，任用了一个名叫许尔湛（Hyrcanus)的祭司，管理迦利利、撒玛利亚、犹太和比利亚全地。许尔湛的手下有个以土买人安提帕特（Antipater)，很机巧地为自己的家族谋求权力和家财。他的两个儿子法赛尔（Phasael)和希律（Herod)都取得总督的职位。主前37年，安提帕特被谋杀，帕提亚人（Parthians)侵袭境内，法赛尔也丧命。希律（就是大希律）则逃到罗马，得该撒亚古士督（Augustus)的欢心，指派他收复巴勒斯坦。在主前33 - 30年间，他收复了疆土后，建立了一个亲罗马的政权历时达34年之久。在任期间，在耶路撒冷建造了伟大的圣殿，借以讨好那些厌恨他属于以东血统的犹太人。
