A homeowner association (HOA) is an American real estate term.
It is a corporation formed by a real estate developer to market, manage, and sell homes and lots in a residential place.
Later, after a neighborhood is settled, the term may describe a group of home owners which set rules for the neighborhood.
The purpose of a home-owners association is to improve the neighborhood's image.
The members of a home-owner's association hope that, by improving the image, the values of their homes will rise.
If the rules are violated by home-owners, the home-owners association can force them to pay money.
If they refuse, the home-owner's association can take away their houses.
The fastest growing form of housing in the United States today is common-interest development (CID), a category that includes various housing types.
Since 1964, HOAs have become increasingly common in the United States.
HOAs governed 24.8 million American homes and 62 million residents by 2010.

Kohl is an ancient eye cosmetic, traditionally made by grinding stibnite (Sb2S3).
It is widely used in the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia as eye liner, to contour and/or darken the eyelids, and as mascara for the eyelashes.
It is worn mostly by women, but also by some men and children.
Kohl is very ancient, and is seen in depictions of high status women and godesses in Ancient Egypt.
It has also been used in India as a cosmetic for a long time.
The content of kohl and the recipes to prepare it vary greatly.
In North Africa and Middle East, homemade kohl is often made by grinding galena (lead sulfide).
In the west, soot or organic charcoal may be used instead of lead.
Plant oils and the soot from various nuts, seeds, and gum resins are often added to the carbon powder.
Unfortunately, the non-lead products do not give such a good result as the older, traditional varieties.
Handmade, lead-based kohl continues to be popular.

The brown bear (Ursus arctos) is a large bear living in much of northern Eurasia and North America.
It is smaller than the polar bear, but is the largest carnivore which lives entirely on the land.
The brown bear's range has shrunk, but it is still listed as a least concern species by the IUCN.
Its total population is about 200,000.
As of 2012, this and the American black bear are the only bear species not classified as threatened by the IUCN.
However, many of the southern Asian subspecies are highly endangered.
The smallest subspecies, the Himalayan brown bear, is critically endangered.
It lives in just 2% of its former range, and poachers hunt it for its parts.
The Marsican brown bear in central Italy is believed to have a population of just 30 to 40 bears.
The brown bear's main range includes parts of Russia, Central Asia, China, Canada, the United States (mostly Alaska), Scandinavia and the Carpathian region (especially Romania), Anatolia, and Caucasus.
The brown bear is a national and state animal in several European countries.
It is the most widely distributed of all bears.
Brown bears are omnivores.
Brown bears are apex predators.
They eat berries, apples, honey, fish, insects, worms, nuts, grasses, leaves, carrion, rodents and rabbits.

Uday Saddam Hussein al-Tikriti () (June 1964 – 22 July 2003) was the oldest son of Saddam Hussein, the fifth President of Iraq.
He had one younger brother named Qusay Hussein.
For years, people thought that Uday would become the head of Iraq after his father died.
However, Uday lost this place to Qusay for several reasons: because Uday was badly injured in an assassination attempt; because his behavior was often out of control; and because his relations with his family became more and more troubled.
Uday has been accused of many crimes, including rape, murder, and torture.
Uday was imprisoned several times, exiled, and received a token death sentence by his father's regime.
After the United States-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, Task force 20 killed Uday, Qusay, and Qusay's son Mustapha during a four-hour gunfight in Mosul.
Uday was born in Tikrit, Iraq, to Saddam Hussein and Sajida Talfah.
Saddam was in prison for the first three years of Uday's life.
Uday graduated from high school with very high marks.
He started university at Baghdad University College of Medicine, but he only lasted three days there.
After that, he moved to the College of Engineering.
Uday got a degree in engineering and graduated summa cum laude from Baghdad University.
However, some of his professors later admitted that Uday barely managed to earn passing grades in many of his classes.
They said he was given the honor of summa cum laude, and the rank of valedictorian (ranking first out of 76 students) because he was the President's son.
Many sources say that Qusay was clearly Saddam's favorite son.
When Uday was in his early 20s, Saddam wrote him a letter on official presidential letterhead.
A classmate of Uday's and a bodyguard both said Saddam wrote something like "Don't be like your [mother's father], with no morals or principles."
Losing favor with Saddam
In 1988, Uday became even more unpopular with his father.
In October 1988, Saddam had a party for Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's wife, Suzanne.
At the party, in front of all the guests, Uday murdered his father's personal valet and food taster, Kamel Hana Gegeo.
Uday beat Gegeo, and according to witnesses, stabbed him with an electric carving knife.
Gegeo had recently introduced Saddam to a younger woman, Samira Shahbandar, who later became Saddam's second wife.
Uday thought this was an insult to his mother.
He also may have feared that Saddam would make Gegeo, not Uday, his heir.
As punishment for the murder, Saddam briefly imprisoned his son and sentenced him to death.
However, Uday probably served only three months in a private prison.
In response to personal intervention from King Hussein of Jordan, Saddam released Uday, banishing him to Switzerland as the assistant to the Iraqi ambassador there.
He was expelled by the Swiss government in 1990 after he was repeatedly arrested for fighting.
Return to Iraq
Saddam later put Uday in charge of the Iraqi Olympic Committee and the Iraq Football Association.
Uday tortured Olympic athletes who failed to win.
He also became the editor of the Babel newspaper; the general secretary of the Iraqi Union of Students; and the head of the Fedayeen Saddam.
Uday seemed proud of his reputation and called himself Abu Sarhan, an Arabic term for "wolf".
In December 1996, somebody tried to assassinate Uday.
Uday was driving at the time, and was hit by many bullets.
He was permanently injured.
At first, doctors thought he was paralyzed.
He was evacuated to Ibn Sina Hospital.
He had many surgeries, but a bullet was so close to his spinal cord that his doctors could not remove it.
Eventually, he was able to walk, but not without a limp.
Because of Uday's disabilities, Saddam gave Qusay more responsibility and authority, and named him as his heir apparent in 2000.
In a sign of loyalty to Saddam, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, who was vice president of the Revolutionary Command Council, agreed to let Uday marry his daughter.
But al-Douri had so much influence over Saddam that he could make Saddam promise the marriage would never be consummated.
(This means his daughter would never have to have sex with Uday.)
However, soon after the marriage, because of Uday's violent and out-of-control behaviour, al-Douri quickly asked that his daughter be allowed to divorce Uday.
Uday loved luxury cars, especially European sports cars.
He collected many hundreds of these cars.
According to witnesses, Uday had thousands of suits, and each suit had to match the color of the car he was driving that day.
When U.S.-led military forces were about to take over Baghdad, he ordered his bodyguards to burn the cars so the United States could not take them.
In 2002, Uday opened accounts with Yahoo!
and MSN Messenger.
This created controversy.
At the time, the United States had trade sanctions against Iraq.
This meant Iraq was not allowed to use American products.
By using Yahoo!
and MSN Messenger, Uday was violating these trade sanctions.
Uday also built up a large video collection, found in his palace in 2003.
Many of the videos showed himself in both public and private situations.
Accusations of crimes
Crimes against athletes
Uday was accused of imprisoning, torturing, and even murdering athletes  both men and women.
As head of the Iraqi Olympic Committee, when Uday thought players did not play well enough, he ordered them to be tortured or sent to prison.
According to many reports, torturers beat and caned the soles of the football players' feet.
This caused severe pain without leaving visible marks on the rest of their bodies.
Uday reportedly kept scorecards with written instructions on how many times each player should be beaten after a poor showing.
One defector reported that jailed football players were forced to kick a concrete ball after failing to reach the 1994 FIFA World Cup finals.
Uday would insult athletes who performed below his expectations by calling them dogs and monkeys to their faces.
The Iraqi national football team were seen with their heads shaved after failing to achieve a good result in a tournament in the 1980s.
It was widely said that Uday ordered the shaving to punish the players.
Another defector claimed that athletes were dragged through a gravel pit and then put in a sewage tank so their wounds would become infected.
After Iraq lost 4–1 to Japan in the quarter finals of the 2000 AFC Asian Cup in Lebanon, goalkeeper Hashim Hassan, defender Abdul Jaber, and forward Qahtan Chatir were labelled as guilty of loss and eventually flogged for three days by Uday's security guards.
Kidnapping and rape
Uday was well known for kidnapping young Iraqi girls and women from the streets in order to rape them.
Uday was known to go into parties and pick out women whom he would later rape.
Time published an article in 2003 detailing his sexual brutality.
For example, Time reported that in 1998, Uday kidnapped a 14-year-old girl, kept her for three days, and raped her.
The girl's father kept complaining, in public, that Uday had raped his daughter.
After three months, Uday sent two guards to threaten the girl's father.
He also ordered the father to bring both his 14-year-old and 12-year-old daughters to Uday's next party.
He told the girls' father: "Your daughters will be my girlfriends, or I'll wipe you off the face of the earth."
The man obeyed, and brought both girls to the next party.
Time also reported that twice Uday showed up at weddings and took away the bride to rape.
The first time, in the late 1990s, after Uday raped the bride, the groom shot himself in the head.
The second time, in October 2002, Uday raped the bride, burned her body with acid, and killed her.
Uday was also well known for torturing anyone who disagreed with him.
For example, he once beat an army officer unconscious when the man refused to allow Uday to dance with his wife.
The man later died of his injuries.
Uday also shot and killed an army officer who did not salute him.
Uday was reported to have his own private torture chamber.
He used many different ways of torturing people, including an iron maiden.
According to a family friend who spoke to Time magazine:
Illegal trading
Uday gained millions of United States dollars by running fake corporations and illegally trading with Iran (Iraq's sworn enemy).
At this time, the United Nations did not allow Iraq to trade with other countries.
By using fake corporations, Uday was able to get around this rule.
From Iran, he was able to get almost anything he wanted.
When U.S. troops captured his mansion in Baghdad, they found a personal zoo with lions and cheetahs; an underground parking garage for his collection of luxury cars; Cuban cigars inscribed with Uday's name; and millions of dollars worth of fine wines, liquor, and heroin.
They also found an HIV testing kit.
On 22 July 2003, Task Force 20 and the United States Army 101st Airborne Division raided a home in Mosul, Iraq.
They surrounded Uday, Qusay, and Qusay's 14-year-old son, Mustapha.
They had been told by an Iraqi that Uday and Qusay were in the home.
United States soldiers got Uday to show himself by hot-wiring Uday's Lamborghini.
After Uday appeared, a gunfight started.
As many as 200 American soldiers, along with OH-58 Kiowa helicopters and an A-10 "Warthog", surrounded and fired upon the house.
They killed Uday, Qusay, and Qusay's son.
After about four hours of battle, soldiers entered the house and found four bodies, including the Hussein brothers' bodyguard.
Dental records proved that two of the men killed in the house were Uday and Qusay, according to the United States Military.
They also announced that the person who gave them the tip about where Uday and Qusay were staying would get a $30 million reward.
The United States Military released graphic pictures of the Hussein brothers' dead bodies.
Many people said this was wrong.
When criticized, the U.S. Military's response was to point out that these men were no ordinary combatants.
The Military also said they released the pictures to prove that Uday and Qusay were dead, and that they hoped this would bring closure to the Iraqi people.
Uday was buried in a cemetery near Tikrit alongside Qusay and Mustapha Hussein.
After his execution in 2006, Saddam Hussein was buried in the same cemetery.
Uday has been portrayed in several movies and books.
Latif Yahia has written three books about Uday: I Was Saddam's Son; The Devil's Double; and The Black Hole.
In these books, Yahia says he was forced to be a body double for Uday.
The Devil's Double was made into a movie, starring Dominic Cooper as Uday.
The National Geographic Channel also produced an episode of Locked Up Abroad that tells Lahia's story.
Uday was played by Philip Arditti in House of Saddam.
In his book Separation of Power, Vince Flynn describes Uday's behavior.
In the book, the main character, Mitch Rapp, pretends to be Uday.

Subnautica is an open world survival game made by Unknown Worlds Entertainment.
Subnautica lets the player explore the sea of an alien planet by scuba diving, or using vehicles.
They must collect resources and food to survive.
It came out on Steam Early Access on December 2014, and is currently being made for Xbox One.
The full version is planned to come out for August 2016.
The player in a first-person view controls the lone survivor of a crashed ship.
The objective is to explore the planet and collect resources to survive, the player must make sure to not run out of oxygen and keep fed and hydrated.
The player can create bases and build vehicles.
The game uses a day and night cycle.
The universe of Subnautica takes place in the 22nd century.
The player is the lone survivor of the crash of the Aurora on a planet designated 4546B. The Aurora is a vessel owned by the Alterra corporation.
The Aurora’s primary mission was to build a high speed “Phasegate” to enable travel.
Its secret mission was to locate the fate of another vessel called the Degasi, which crashed on the same planet many years prior.
After crashing into planet 4546B, the player sets out to explore unknown buildings and biomes in the ocean.
While exploring planet 4546B, the player discovers an abandoned alien facility, which the player finds an abundant information about the planet.
As the player finds crewman logs and alien archives, they discover the Aurora was shot down by an ancient alien quarantine facility to contain a virulent fatal bacteria known as “Kharaa”.
Since the player becomes infected by Kharaa, they cannot deactivate the quarantine protocols.
Eventually, the player is contacted by a telepathic being, a Sea Emperor Leviathan.
The Sea Emperor explains what the Precursor aliens were attempting to do to find a cure for Kharaa.
The Sea Emperor Leviathans produce an enzyme, designated “Enzyme 42”, but adults do not produce enough to be effective.
The Precursors died before they could discover the required ingredients necessary to allow the hatching of young Sea Emperors.
The Sea Emperor was unable to communicate with the Precursors.
Since it can communicate with Humans, it asks the player to aide it in collecting the ingredients to hatch their eggs.
Once the player completes this task, the player is cured and is able to build a rocket to escape the planet, ending the game.
Subnautica was announced by Unknown Worlds Entertainment on December 17, 2013.
The development team chose to not include lethal weapons in the game.
Charlie Cleveland, the game's director, described Subnautica as "one vote towards a world with less guns,".
Ian Birnbaum of PC Gamer said Subnautica was an "underwater Minecraft", saying that "with an experienced developer at the helm and a limitless variety of the oceans to play with, it’s going to take a lot for Subnautica to go badly wrong.
As the toolbox gets deeper and the shape of the end-game gets set, Subnautica will be a unique example of the ways survival can be tense, rewarding, and fun."
Marsh Davies of Rock, Paper, Shotgun liked the rewarding nature of exploring the world of Subnautica, but disliked that some of the in-game recipes were found by chance.

Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a way for a ship to use a radio to tell other ships about it's position.
It sends messages every few seconds.
These are received other ships and by stations on land and on some satellites.
A ship knows its position by using Global Positioning System (GPS).
Since 2004, all ships above 300 tons and all passenger ships have to use AIS.
AIS was made to avoid ships colliding.
Rock crawling is an extreme form of off-road driving.
Participants use vehicles anywhere from stock to highly modified to overcome obstacles (usually rocks).
Rock crawling is about slow-speed, careful and precise driving, and high torque generated through large gear reductions in the vehicle's drivetrain.
Most vehicles used to rock climb are primarily 4x4s.
A rock crawling competition consists of obstacle courses that are about  long.
Usually a spotter (person who guides the driver) helps the driver through hard obstacles.
Spotters may also use a rope to help prevent a vehicle from tipping over.
Rock crawling basics
The vehicles
Vehicles commonly used include Jeep, Nissan Patrol, Toyota Land Cruiser, Land Rover, Ford Bronco, Suzuki Samurai, International Harvester Scout.
Also, vehicles like the Mercedes Unimog due to its portal axles and greatly increased ground clearance.
These vehicles are outfitted with custom parts.
Power is usually not an issue, as rock crawlers typically lower their gear ratios in order to drive more slowly over obstacles without stalling the engine.
These custom parts can include:
locking differentials
taller off-road tires
upgraded suspension
four wheel steering
roll cage for driver protection
engine modifications for increased performance, mostly torque
lowered gearing in either or all of the transmission, transfer case (including often employing a second transfer case to reduce gearing even more), or axle differentials
winches
body armour (rocker panels, tube fenders, etc.)
beadlocks (locks tires to the rims for low tire pressures)
long-travel shock absorbers, drop shackles, spring-over conversions (to increase wheel travel), coil-over spring/shock combinations, and upgraded control arms
portal axles
Oversized, low-pressure, knobby, mud-terrain tires are used.
Most vehicles have a low-geared transfer case to make the most torque in the low speeds used for rock crawling.
Suspension-wise, rock crawling vehicles sometimes have aftermarket lift kits installed, raising the chassis and increasing suspension flexibility.
Highly modified rock crawling vehicles are less suitable for driving on roads and highways.
Building a dedicated rock crawler can cost a lot of money.
For rock crawling competitions, getting a sponsor can help to cover some of these costs.
