Simple Definition of koala
: an Australian animal that has thick gray fur, large hairy ears, sharp claws for climbing, and no tail
Origin and Etymology of koala
Dharuk (Australian aboriginal language of the Port Jackson area) gula, gulawanʸ
First Known Use: 1803
KOALA Defined for Kids
Definition of koala for Students
: a tailless Australian animal with thick fur and big hairy ears, sharp claws for climbing, and a pouch like the kangaroo's for carrying its young
History for koala
The word koala was taken from a language called Dharuk, spoken by the native Australian people who lived around what is today Sydney, Australia, when the first Europeans landed there in 1788. The word was first written koolah, which was probably closer to the way it was pronounced in Dharuk. The spelling koala—which came to be read as three syllables rather than two—may originally have been someone's misspelling of the word.

We loved this apartment! It was spacious, very clean and check in process was smooth and friendly! The big surprise was this apartment's amazing location! We were steps away from the bridge (foot friendly) which lead right into the historic city center. We loved that this apartment was in the Triana district, famous for beautiful, affordable pottery....I highly recommend the large pottery store which you can see from the balcony of the living room. Yougurt shop directly underneath apartment was great for our kids each night. Recycle stations were super close which we appreciated! There is a lovely market to the left with delicious croissants and lots of fresh fruit....little advice for Americans who are used to pinching the fruit...don't do it here....just admire the display and let the shopkeeper choose the fruit for you from behind the counter. We got snapped at : ) Be advised to bring your OWN shampoo, soap, blowdryer. This was probably the only downside. We traveled by air, so we weren't carrying shampoos, etc and had to buy low quality supplies at the dime store. Otherwise perfect stay!
Thank you for the fantastic apartment in the wonderful city of Seville!
Those looking for a place to relax for a day or two on a hectic tour of the region, will love this place. An amazing place with very friendly hosts. Don't miss out on the best Sangria ever made at the local pub just around the corner!
Terrible value for money, even discounted. The apartment itself is ok, the marble floor is kind of fun, but it's not very comfy and it lacks plenty of little things that make a place homely (no internet, no coffee machine, no kettle...). It is a lot smaller than indicated, that is the 145 square metres include the terrace, which has a nice view but is quite windy. It is indeed well located, the neighbourhood is very charming and it's directly opposite the Casa Cuesta, a fantastic place to eat in the evening.
The service is absolutely terrible, after having anounced our arrival time 2 days in advance, we called an hour earlier while on the road and got told we would have to wait an hour because the host couldn't make it to the apartment in time. We had our 4-month old baby with us so it was pretty much out of the question. Fortunately the cleaning lady could wait for us in the apartment and give us a key. Thumbs up for the cleaning lady, she was very nice and helpful!
So we never met our host, which might have been for the best as I was quite pissed of.
The apartment's location is hard to beat, a close walk from the train station, quiet, and yet in the heart of the city. Everything was perfectly clean, comfortable, and just what we needed for a short break. The owner was very kind and had a map ready for us with suggestions.
nice apartment, friendly host and uncomplicated check-in and check-out.
Great location. Small, but perfectly formed and well equipped. Quiet despite central location. Terrace made all the difference.
Contentos con el piso, no hay quejas. El trato con la dueña muy cordial.
Fijn appartement in leuke buurt in Sevilla met fantastisch terras
El apartamento es como se ve en las fotos. Está un poco machacado por el paso de la gente, pero está limpio. El acceso a la playa es inmejorable.

"Anytime you're trying to build a program, you've got to have guys that can fight through a little adversity, that are not only physically tough but mentally tough," Hazell said. "You've got to recruit toughness to your program."
Toughness is not the only thing Hazell wants to add to the team. Competition is another aspect Hazell wants to create.
"You want to get guys in here right away that can compete," Hazell said. "We're going to have to make some decisions during camp next year to see who can win football games."
Hazell adds that although the team is going to struggle in the spring, they will be ready in the fall. He believes creating competition with the new recruits will improve the players' performance.
"These guys have changed and they know what they have to do," Hazell said. "But they're going to get a run from the guys that we've signed. That's what we want."
According to Hazell, adding starters at tackle is competition in itself.
"There's a definite deficiency at the offensive tackle position," Hazell said. "It'll be interesting this spring to see how we manipulate and manage it. But these guys will have the chance on day one to compete for a spot."
Along with the starters at tackle, Hazell discussed what he likes about the linebackers.
"You flip the film on for the fourth or fifth time and it keeps getting better and better and better, " Hazell said.
Punter Austin McGehee is another advantage the recruiting class brought in. He'll likely serve as a jack of all trades for the Boilermakers, working in all three phases of special teams. One of the most important additions to the Purdue program, McGehee will be an immediate contributor.
"Bringing [McGehee] in here is going to be a big asset for us," Hazell said. "He's definitely working on all three phases."
Most importantly for a Purdue team that lost the battle in the trenches far too often, the 2014 recruiting class also brings in size. Hazell states that size is significant to the team.
"That's one of the emphases that we had," he said, "was to become Big Ten big."

I bought my 818 about 2 1/2 months ago and initialy it was working great. The day before the superbowl I turned the receiver on to play around with the settings and no sound came out of the speakers other than a clicking noise as i turned the volume up or down (this **** happened the day before I was to host a superbowl party, thank god for my old 605). I ended up taking it in for service and after 2 weeks I picked it up as they had replaced an amp, hdmi board and some chip ( or some other part, cant recall). Got home, turned it on and everything was sounding and looking great until I hit the NET button and noticed that I was missing a lot of apps (pandora, netflix, rahpsody just to name a few). I called it in to onkyo and spoke with 2 techs and they told me that they had never herd of this problem so they told me that onkyo headquarters would call me soon with a solution and for me not to worry. That was 2 days ago and this is driving me NUTS!! Ive searche on this forums and other forums and cannot find anyone with the same missing apps issue. So, before I call them back and flip my ****, I was wondering if anyone has had this problem or herd of anything like this. Ive tryed everything from resetting the unit to flashing the latest firmware with no luck. Am I missing something like a hidden sub menue or something really stupid that I am not doing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Disability Insurance:
Work Activity Indicates Certain Social Security Disability Insurance Payments Were Potentially Improper
GAO-13-635: Published: Aug 15, 2013. Publicly Released: Sep 13, 2013.
Audio interview by GAO staff with Steve Lord, Director, Forensic Audits and Investigative Service
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:

(202) 512-6722
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
On the basis of analyzing Social Security Administration (SSA) data on individuals who were Disability Insurance (DI) beneficiaries as of December 2010 and earnings data from the National Directory of New Hires (NDNH), GAO estimates that SSA made $1.29 billion in potential cash benefit overpayments to about 36,000 individuals as of January 2013. The exact number of individuals who received improper disability payments and the exact amount of improper payments made to those individuals cannot be determined without detailed case investigations by SSA. These DI beneficiaries represent an estimated 0.4 percent of all primary DI beneficiaries as of December 2010. Using a different methodology that includes additional causes of overpayments not considered in GAO's analysis, SSA estimated its DI overpayments in fiscal year 2011 were $1.62 billion, or 1.27 percent of all DI benefits in that fiscal year. GAO estimated DI program overpayments on the basis of work activity performed by two populations of individuals. The first population received potential overpayments due to work activity during the DI program's mandatory 5-month waiting period--a statutory program requirement to help ensure that SSA does not pay benefits to individuals who do not have long-term disabilities. Prior to receiving benefits, individuals must complete a 5-month waiting period, in which the individual cannot exceed a certain level of earnings, known as substantial gainful activity, during any month in order to be eligible for DI benefits. Earnings that exceed program limits during the waiting period indicate that individuals might not have long-term disabilities. The second population received potential overpayments due to work activity beyond the program's trial work period--the trial work period consists of up to 9 months in which a DI beneficiary may return to work without affecting her or his benefits. However, beneficiaries whose earnings consistently exceed program limits after completing a trial work period are generally no longer entitled to benefits.
SSA uses its enforcement operation to generate alerts for potentially disqualifying earnings, but the agency's enforcement operation does not generate alerts for earnings that occur in all months of the waiting period, which allows potentially disqualifying work activity to remain undetected. Specifically, GAO found that SSA's enforcement operation will not generate an alert for earnings during the waiting period if the earnings occur in a year when the beneficiary does not receive a benefit payment. For example, in two of the nongeneralizable case studies GAO reviewed, SSA's enforcement operation did not generate an alert for potentially disqualifying work activity during the waiting period because these individuals' waiting periods occurred in the year prior to their first benefit payment. GAO obtained earnings records from these individuals' employers that show they worked continually both during and after their waiting periods at a level of work that would normally result in a denial of benefits. GAO also reviewed information for individuals who worked beyond their trial work period and found that SSA had identified and established overpayments for these individuals. SSA officials stated that modifying its enforcement operation could be costly, but the agency has not assessed the costs of doing so. To the extent that it is cost-effective and feasible, establishing a mechanism to detect earnings during all months of the waiting period would strengthen SSA's enforcement operation.
Why GAO Did This Study
SSA's DI program is the nation's largest cash assistance program for workers with disabilities. Though program rules allow limited work activity, some work activity indicates beneficiaries are not disabled and therefore not entitled to DI benefits. Consequently, SSA might overpay beneficiaries if the agency does not detect disqualifying work activity and suspend benefits appropriately.
GAO was asked to study potential DI overpayments. GAO examined the extent to which (1) the NDNH indicates that individuals received potential DI overpayments; and (2) SSA's enforcement operation detects potentially disqualifying work activity during the waiting period. GAO drew random, generalizable samples of individuals from those whose earnings on the NDNH were beyond program limits and compared wages from their employers to DI program data to identify potential overpayments. To illustrate the circumstances in which SSA made potential DI overpayments, GAO reviewed case files for a nongeneralizable selection of six individuals--three who worked during their waiting period, and three who received potential overpayments for at least 3 years.
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommends that SSA assess the costs and feasibility of establishing a mechanism to detect potentially disqualifying earnings during all months of the waiting period and implement the mechanism as appropriate. SSA concurred, but raised concerns about GAO's estimates. GAO believes its estimates are valid as discussed in this report.

Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Open
Comments: SSA has taken steps to assess the costs and feasibility of establishing a mechanism to detect potentially disqualifying earnings during the waiting period and implement that mechanism, as GAO recommended in August 2013, but SSA has not completed its efforts. Specifically, in March 2016, SSA stated that the agency agrees with GAO that the sooner it knows about earnings data, the sooner the agency can discover work in the waiting period. SSA also stated that the agency plans to evaluate additional screening criteria to ensure the agency focuses its attention on cases that have earnings likely associated with working, including earnings in the waiting period. Finally, SSA told us that the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 allows them to contract with third-party payroll providers to obtain more timely earning data, which would allow them to learn about work activity more quickly if claimants return to work during the waiting period. When completed, these actions could help SSA to implement a cost-effective mechanism for detecting potentially disqualifying earnings the waiting period, as GAO recommended in August 2013. GAO will continue to monitor SSA's efforts in this area.
Recommendation: To improve SSA's ability to detect and prevent potential DI cash benefit overpayments due to work activity during the 5-month waiting period, the Commissioner of Social Security should assess the costs and feasibility of establishing a mechanism to detect potentially disqualifying earnings during all months of the waiting period, including those months of earnings that the agency's enforcement operation does not currently detect and implement this mechanism, to the extent that an analysis determines it is cost-effective and feasible.

Tyson Fury: I Know Chisora Will Definitely Fight Me!
By Edward Chaykovsky
Heavyweight Tyson Fury (21-0, 15KOs) believes a lot of heavyweights are ducking him - like Wladimir Klitschko, Deontay Wilder and David Haye. But if there is one heavyweight that Fury is convinced will actually get in the ring with him - that fighter is Dereck Chisora (19-4, 13KOs).
Fury has no doubt that Chisora would accept the opportunity to avenge his 2011 twelve round decision loss, when the clashed for the British/Commonwealth titles.
"I know one person who will definitely fight me and that's Dereck Chisora. I already whooped him once as Muhammad Ali would've said and hopefully he can give me a better fight this time now he's the European champion and he's got a bit more experience under his belt. I'd be looking to take that fight early in the year," Fury told Buncey's Boxing Podcast.

You cannot pick up the newspaper or listen to the radio these days with out hearing about the meat recalls that have been happening across the country. If this isn't a wake up call to buy local and support your local producers than I do not know what is. A major part of healthy living is fueling your body with the best quality food you can get. You wouldn't put oil in your car gas tank would you? So how can you justify putting anything but the best quality food into your body and expect it to perform?
When you buy from local producers you are paying for the quality and care that went in to growing that product; not for the packaging and transportation. You will also be getting a fresher and more nutritious product. By investing in your neighbours, you are supporting your local economy and helping other families to continue doing what they love.
There are many ways for you to get better quality food. The first step is to get informed. Do some research into where your food is coming from whether it is meat, eggs or fresh produce. Find out not only where, but how your food is grown.
Is a Gluten-Free Diet Smart for Runners?
The next step is to go directly to the source. Take time to visit one of the many farmers markets across the city and get to know the farmer directly. Asking questions is the best way to get answers. You can ask the farmer what, if any, pesticides have been used on the produce or what the diet of the animal was. Buying straight from the farmer insures freshness because you know that the food has not been sitting on a truck for several days and in most cases you can get produce that was picked that day.
Some farms also have the option of going for a tour to see how they operate. You can see behind the scenes of food production and harvesting. You will gain an appreciation for the amount of work that is put into getting the food from the ground to your table and not be so quick to buy whatever is convenient at the grocery store.
When you buy local you can be sure that you are investing in a more sustainable future for everyone. Less packaging means less garbage and less transportation needed means less emissions produced.
So I challenge you to make the investment into your health and your community and buy local. I promise you will not be disappointed!

Amputation, Significant OSHA Fine for Buffalo Grove Firm
CHICAGO, Ill. -- R.G. Ray Corp., a Buffalo Grove, Ill., based manufacturer, is facing $150,300 in fines proposed by the U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) following an accident on Jan. 20, 2003 in which an employee lost three fingers in an improperly maintained power punch press.
OSHA opened its investigation on Jan. 23 in response to the reported amputation accident. The federal workplace safety and health agency arrived at the plant after receiving information about the amputation and concerns that workers believed such an accident might reoccur. The subsequent inspection found considerable problems with a dangerous and willful lack of machine guarding and power press maintenance as well as serious problems with electrical hazards, periodic inspection of power presses and other point of operation hazards.
"This company was aware of the hazards associated with power press operations and chose to ignore them," said U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao. "OSHA's commitment is to prevent the occurrence of such injuries and we are prepared to help employers achieve that goal. However, when employers fail to do their part in this effort, they'll find us ready to fully enforce our standards."
R.G. Ray Corp. employs approximately 350 full-time workers in the manufacture of specialty automotive clamps. OSHA previously cited the company for violations of workplace safety regulations for mechanical power press operation in March, 2000, and for not reporting an amputation injury in 1999.
According to OSHA Area Director Diane Turek, Des Plaines, Ill., the company has 15 working days from receipt of the citations to appeal before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
OSHA is dedicated to saving lives, preventing injuries and illnesses and protecting America's workers. Safety and health add value to business, the workplace and life. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.
