what is a 7 month CD?

A CD is a certificate of deposit. It is an interest bearing instrument that requires you to keep your money locked up (Major penalties for early withdrawal). Also there is often a minimum deposit.

A CD is a certificate of deposit. It is an interest bearing instrument that requires you to keep your money locked up (Major penalties for early withdrawal). Also there is often a minimum deposit. Seven months is a very short term for a CD, your interest rate is likely annualized meaning you will earn 1/12 of that per month for seven months or .248333333. Depending on the instrument the interest may be compounded (Put back into the Principal where it will earn interest) or deposited in another account. I would suggest looking into money market funds or my personal favorite an on line savings account (HSBC, or emigrant savings bank) these accounts offer similar rates but are much more liquid (They allow you to withdraw the money at any time), they also normally have lower minimum deposits.

Would you ever think about going green?

I will DEFINITELY continue being eco-friendly. When you watch movies, like “An Inconvenient Truth” by Al Gore, and the Planet Earth series…and you became awakened to how greedy we are with how we take, take, take from our planet…you realize that you would be crazy NOT to take care of our Earth. We consume FAR too […]

I will DEFINITELY continue being eco-friendly. When you watch movies, like “An Inconvenient Truth” by Al Gore, and the Planet Earth series…and you became awakened to how greedy we are with how we take, take, take from our planet…you realize that you would be crazy NOT to take care of our Earth.

We consume FAR too much… and ignore the climate changes, which we should take as serious warning signs that we need to make serious changes, and very soon.

So — once I am more financially stable (I’m 22), and I’m ready to buy a home, I will certainly convert that home into a house that is as eco-friendly as possible….like lower-capacity toilets, solar energy panels, no harsh A/C…using a fire place instead of a heating unit, having a low-pressure shower head, recycle diligently, create a composting system, have a garden so we will purchase less from the grocery store, and encourage my future children to join me… and I also want to eventually lean into becoming a vegetarian, and even one day, a vegan.

This will cut down on our consumation of meat, which definetely affects our planet…because we have to grow the grains/corn to feed those animals, and then we have to transport those animals to farms, then slaughterhouses, then the grocery store. All that exhaust is floating up into our atmosphere. The grain that we feed to the animals could instead be fed to humans…so we wouldn’t have the food crisis that we have now in our world.

I think that gadgets that promote eco-friendliness will become even more popular than they are right now. There also a trend going on right now for everything GREEN. There is certainly alot of ignorance in the Western World about the changes that we NEED to make to ensure the safety of our future generations…. so it won’t be an easy shift, but as long as we are starting….that’s all we can ask for.

who invented the broom?

Ashes and dirt were moved around and out of the house using bundled branches and brush for centuries. Native grasses were dried and bundled together, often decoratively woven at the top or tied tightly with yarn or fabric to keep the brooms together. Southerners have used native sweet grass and other grasses for their long […]

Ashes and dirt were moved around and out of the house using bundled branches and brush for centuries. Native grasses were dried and bundled together, often decoratively woven at the top or tied tightly with yarn or fabric to keep the brooms together. Southerners have used native sweet grass and other grasses for their long stalks with tasseled ends for broom bristle. The course of American broom history was altered in the late eighteenth century, when some say that in 1797 Levi Dickenson, a farmer from Hadley, Massachusetts, used a bundle of tasseled sorghum grass (also called broomcom) to make a broom for his wife. It is likely these early broomcom brooms were simply lashed or woven together, resulting in the fact that they often fell apart. Other experiments with attaching the circular bundles of broomcom led to wooden handles. By about 1810, wooden handles with holes drilled into them were used to lash the broomcom to the handle using wooden pegs.
