As noted on the 2014 schedule of payment dates, regular payment dates for both Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are advanced if the usual date falls on a day when financial institutions such as banks or credit unions are closed.
Jackdaw Book Report. A jackdaw is a collection of interesting artifacts that provides information about a particular subject, period, or idea. The term comes from the British name for a bird, similar to the American grackle that picks up brightly colored, interesting, and attractive objects and carries them off to its nest. For children, jackdaws are particularly useful for building background and interest in books, stories, and other texts.
Western jackdaws usually breed in colonies with pairs collaborating to find a nest site, which they then defend from other pairs and predators during most of the year. They nest in cavities in trees or cliffs, in ruined or occupied buildings and in chimneys, the common feature being a sheltered site for the nest.he western jackdaw is found from north-west Africa through all of Europe, except for the extreme north, and eastwards through central Asia to the eastern Himalayas and Lake Baikal. To the east, it occurs throughout Turkey, the Caucasus, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and north-west India.
