Miracles Happen –True story By Brian BoyleThey said that I was in God’s Hands because I was; I am living proof that miracles happen. My name is Brian Boyle, and this is my story.A month after I graduated high school in 2004, I was coming home from swim practice and was involved in a near fatal car accident with a dump truck.The impact of the crash violently ripped my heart across my chest, shattering my ribs/clavicle/pelvis, collapsing my lungs, damage to every single organ and failure of my kidneys and liver, removal of spleen and gallbladder, losing 60% of my blood, severe nerve damage to my left shoulder, and in a coma where I was on life support for over two months at Prince Georges Hospital Center in Cheverly, Maryland, USA.I don’t have a memory of the accident, or the few days before the day of the accident. The first thing that I remember after the collision, which is still so vivid in my mind even today, is being in this very large white tube. In this tube was a boy sitting to my left, and many other boys and girls on my right side (I use the term “boys and girls” because they appeared to be my age); I didn’t know why I was there or how I even got there in the first place.The more I sat there, the more I was able to visualize my surroundings. The boy to my left had a cell phone, and he asked me if I needed him to call anyone for me. I told him “yes, can you call my parents and tell them that I love them.” The next thing that I remember is waking up in a hospital bed, chemically paralyzed and hooked up to all these machines. Through all the buzzes and beeps going off from the medical equipment that was saving my life at that instant, I could hear my mom and dad telling me in between dramatic pauses of crying hysterically that I was going to be okay.Only moments before, I believe I was waiting in line to meet my final judgment, but it must have not been my time. Moments later, I had come back to life. This was just the beginning of my suffering.I died eight times while I was in the intensive care unit and even when I woke up from my coma, I couldn’t talk or communicate. The day that they knew that I would live, was the day that I either left my room in a wheelchair or a body bag. As far as the future, it didn’t exist. Walking was never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries and because of the shattered pelvis. The thought of swimming was just that, only a thought. Just like my body, my dreams were shattered. But, I didn’t give up because I knew that God had a plan for me.After spending two months in a coma, 14 operations, 36 blood transfusions, 13 plasma treatments, I lost a total of 100 pounds and had to go to a rehabilitation center in Baltimore. I had to learn how to talk, eat, walk, shower, and live independently again. After that agonizing experience, I had to go to outpatient therapy in Waldorf, MD. After spending a few months in a wheelchair, I took baby steps to walk on my own. It was a miracle that I could walk again, but I wanted to prove the doctors wrong and not only walk, but run. After I accomplished that, I wanted to get back in the pool again. After a few lung tests, I was able to go in the pool a little bit each week.Before the accident I had three goals: to go to college, swim on the team, and compete in an ironman triathlon one day. After a few months of swimming a few laps here and there with my training partner and good buddy, Sam Fleming, I decided that I was not going to let my injuries stop me from living my dream, and six months after that I began my freshman year at St. Mary’s College of Maryland and also was one of the swimmers to watch on the team. It’s very easy to go through and list these facts and make it look like everything just seemed to easily fall in it’s own perfect little place, but the truth of the matter is that it didn’t. It wasn’t easy, not then, and not now. The pain and the agony was real and it existed all the way through, in the good times and the very bad. It was not an easy situation to be in where you’re laying in a bed, staring at the ceiling, knowing that your life is over while your looking at a priest give you the last rights. I thought to myself over and over, why this situation had to happen to me. I was always a good kid, received good grades in school, and went to church. Why would something as horrific as this happen to me? Why would God allow this? I went on and on for days asking why?And, then it hit me. All that thinking and pondering on the what-if scenario’s and the questionable doubt only stirred up another question – why was I saved? I didn’t have anymore questions after that. I know what my purpose in life finally is. With the 50 year life expectancy I was given from the doctors, I am just trying to live each day to the fullest and motivate and hopefully inspire other people, in their lives and in the faith. I have been labeled on several occasions that I am “Lazarus-like” because God brought me back to life. To inspire even more, I just successfully completed the Steelhead 70.3 half-ironman race in Michigan a few months ago, and was also given the inspirational athlete media slot to compete in the 2007 Ford Ironman World Championship where my story and race footage was broadcasted in the Ironman show premiere as the main feature on NBC on Dec. 1.My story is about the recovery and the comeback, but I want to make it much more than that, I want to make a positive impact on the world. I am just trying to live each day to the fullest and motivate and hopefully inspire other people through my endeavors to never give up on their dreams, and to never stop believing in their faith in God no matter how bad a situation is because Everything happens for a reason.Brian Boyle Photos Gallery::)

The law is probably all over the map on this, but I can tell you that, as a police officer, if I saw someone had established functional residency in a dwelling, I was not willing to force them to leave. If they had clothes in closets, toiletries in the bathroom, and a space within the house considered theirs, where they had a reasonable expectation of privacy (able to shut/lock their bedroom door, and so on), I interpreted that situation as their living in that residence, and I was always unwilling to intervene. I can't adjudicate tenancy issues on the street behind a badge, and I wasn't about to throw someone out of their own house.I ran into this all the time as a police officer. One night a guy called and wanted me to throw a guy out of his house. The caller had allowed a homeless man to live in his mobile home for two weeks, but now wanted him gone. The man had all of his possessions in a bedroom he had been sleeping in the entire time. I had sympathy for the caller, because I would have wanted him gone too - he was completely deranged. When I asked the guy his name, he beat his chest and proclaimed, "I am the annunciation of Jesus Christ upon a dying world!!" (The call went south from there.) Even given that circumstance, this isn't a criminal issue - it's a civil issue. It's not trespassing, because you gave permission to establish residency, however transitory you thought it might be. Do they have a right to stay? I don't know - I'm not an attorney, and even if I were, it would depend on where you live. But as a police officer, I could not intervene in civil issues regarding property or residency, even if the answer was common sense or I actually wanted to get involved. I often got called with the hopes of having me forcibly remove the person in question - but it was never going to happen. All I could do was refer a complaintant in these cases to the Sheriff's Office for eviction protocol information or to a competent, licensed attorney for a discussion of their legal options. By the way, it doesn't matter whether they are or are not on the lease. You can have residency without being on a lease agreement.Beyond mediating the situation as a police officer between the two parties, my hands were completely tied. Thus, even though you may technically be in the right in certain circumstances, the process of actually getting them out might be somewhat delicate.

I love these types of questions.If we had thirty days to prepare for an all out apocalypse I'm going to assume that everyone else knows this warning as well. I'm also going to assume that society is still held together and the economy is still functioning during the 30 day period. I live in Australia.Firstly I would go on the Internet and order as many survival books and manuals on all sorts of topics of survival (fishing, farming, how to make ). For the first few days of the 30 days warning time, I would go around to my most trusted friends and family and I would ask around 15-20 to join me, I will only choose the most trusted. We would gather around and make a plan so the work of preparation is split evenly and we would each work efficiently. We would gather as many tools, seeds, dogs and equipment as we could possibly bring. We would probably purchase a truck to heavy lift our supplies. I wouldn't want to stay anywhere near populated centres as I know that they would collapse and would turn into bandit filled wastelands within months of the apocalypse. We would gather as many building tools and materials and drive as far away from the city and towns as we could. We would eventually signNow an area with a water source, some protection and wide open areas for farming and building. We would first, using our knowledge from books and job training (we may bring people who were previously builders), begin construction of a large wooden/stone building to serve as housing. We would sleep in tents and use the surrounding resources for water and building materials while the building was being built. While some of us would be  building, others would be sowing the land and preparing to plant the seeds we brought with us. We would use our skills we learnt from books to keep warm and avoid deadly wild life (we're in S'traya after all) and stay safe from diseases (using the medicines and home made ). We would use the radio to listen and learn about what is occurring all over the world. I presume that by time the 30 days is over and the apocalypse had begun, we would be settling in and not dependant on technology for survival. For the next 6 months or so we would be living in the temporary dwellings (tents, caves)  until the main building is completed, after that we would move in and begin to try make a normal life. We would harvest the crops we planted  and we would begin to make ourselves completely self suffient. The dogs we brought could help us defend ourselves, and they could also help us hunt large wildlife (camels or escaped farm animals). After around a year or so when we were fully settled in, we would begin construction of new smaller houses around the large lodge, this is to give privacy to families and also to help maintain the fact that this is our new home. The large original building would become a communal 'town hall' and kitchen/ dining area. When we became 100% fully self suffient we would start to intercept wanderers and try to assimilate them into our tiny town. Rules would be extremely strict and very harshly enforced. In any society, law and order must be enforced or the society cannot function. As we would take in new survivors, we would need to filter them out (interviews and skill tests) so only the best and most stable individuals could join. Murder and any form of violence would be extremely harshly punished with some crimes leading to executions or exile. As our small society continues to take in more people, our housing areas and farming areas would also grow and we would need to expand our operating areas to ensure a supply of water and arable land. After we signNow a certain population, say 250, we would need to establish a 'government ' and 'taxing' system to ensure the long term survival of the town. The governing system would most likely be a democracy with a main council, which would consist of elected and trusted citizens, who would come up with laws. Normal citizens would gather in the de facto town hall (the original lodging) to vote for or against the decision or law. This would be the most effective and fair method of ruling a population that is this small.The economy of the town would be very interesting as it is a self sustaining but prospering town. In the  first days of the colony , every townsperson needed to specialise in multiple trades (builder, farmer, hunter, raider) but as the population expanded, many of the people only needed to focus on one primary job. We would try to establish a currency system to make the economy run smoother and more efficiently (bottle caps anyone?). A person working a particular job, say hunter, would hunt animals and sell them to a builder who would give him some of the money he made from building a well, for example, which was  commissioned and paid for by the 'government'. The hunter, with his newly earned bottle caps (money) would then go and buy clothes from a tailor (for example). Everyone would pay a percentage of their income to the government every so often in return for infrastructure, security and other benifits provided by the government. After around 20 or 30 years, many people would call our colony home, with its established economy, abundant resources, services and security it would be a utopia. Eventually there would be trade with other colonies or survivors who had also managed to make it through in a technology-less world. After this period of time, there would be many children born who would be educated by teachers and who would grow up to be productive and educated members of a free and democratic society. Maybe one day, long in the future, our colony will begin rediscovering how to build machines and electrical production, maybe it will be a home to hundreds of thousands of people and maybe the people of the region would unite their colonies to make countries with many of the modern infrastructure we have now. Who knows?I absolutely love this subject and I could keep going on all day if I could. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed!

A hotel guest is just the reverse\u2014a transient who can't vote. So in addition to the underlying commercial rEval estate taxes that are probably higher than what's levied on residences, hotel guests need to pay sales taxes and special excise taxes. ... Another reason for the high cost of hotels is their location.

The Hotel Room Tax (or \u201ctransient occupancy tax\u201d) is a 14 percent tax levied on hotel room charges. The tax is collected by hotel operators from guests and remitted to the Treasurer/Tax Collector. Many local governments impose this tax to recover some costs of governmental services associated with nonresidents.

WHAT IS THE \u201cBED TAX\u201d? The Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) is a tax of 12% of the rent charged to transient guests in hotels/motels, including properties rented through home sharing services like Airbnb, located in the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County.

Balloted covers all local ballot measures in California, including hotel tax measures. Hotel taxes are locally imposed taxes paid by guests who occupy hotels, short-term rentals, or other lodging for less than 30 days. They are also referred to as transient occupancy taxes. Cities and counties can levy hotel taxes.

Transient occupancy tax (TOT) is charged in most of the United States, including California, to travelers when they rent accommodations (a room, rooms, entire home, or other living space) in a hotel, inn, tourist home or house, motel, or other lodging unless the stay is for a period of 30 days or more.
