Determined to drive: taking matters in hand

Article Abstract:

With training, Barbara Twardowski learned to master the art of driving by using a lever in her left hand to control the brake and gas pedals, as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease weakened her legs. Her fear of driving was soon replaced with confidence, as she made the transition from conventional driving to driving with hand controls.

Take it all off!

Article Abstract:

A tax deduction is any expense a taxpayer is legally allowed to subtract from his or her taxable income. The smaller the taxable income, the less the money that is owed in taxes. Therefore, a working person may be missing a wealth of tax deductions, simply by not having the right knowledge of tax deductions, and using it.
