Twenty Percent Time Progress

Upon special request by the bowling proprietor in Lovell, I have switched my project. The proprietor wants me to coach the youth bowling league and get four kids to a level where they can compete in USBC tournaments and leagues. She asked me to do this because I am a 190+ average bowler with many good series and games under my belt. As well as many USBC tournament appearances, and being on the all state team back to back years. The proprietor feels that I will be able to help these kids in ways the adults may not be able to. My goal is to get four kids ready for USBC leagues and tournaments. I will need to teach them bowling fundamentals as well as mental strategy. A long the way I want to convey knowledge I have gotten with experiences of my own and common knowledge in the sport.

Taxes in Panama

Making eighty thousand dollars may sound like a dream job, but how much are you really making after you're hit with taxes. I started out with the before mentioned eighty grand, but in Panama twenty five percent of the total income goes to income taxes. So by multiplying, eighty grand by .25 (the percent in decimal form) then subtracting the product (answer from multiplication problem). I end up with sixty grand. Still I pretty good haul, but then I am hit with a nine percent social security tax. So after multiplying six grand by .09 and subtracting the product from sixty grand I am down to 54,600 as a net pay. I can not find any other taxes.

Twenty percent project moving forward

Over all October was pretty successful, I manged to find several different stretches 
, and exercises to help prepare the ucl for use. One difficulty I encountered that in the end will be difficult to overcome is the human condition. Because we are all different it will be hard to establish one set way to throw that won't injure the ligament. I am thinking that by the end of November I can have a device hunted down to help teach a generalized throwing motion. If I can't do this I might look into making one myself with the help of my doctor, and physical therapist. (If it is unknown, I have sustained an injury to my ucl that needed to be surgically repaired, hence the interest) December is still unclear, I need to see where November takes me.
