Theft can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony crime. The charge is determined by the value of the stolen property or services. If the theft is from an elderly or disabled adult, the theft offenses are charged more severely. Ohio law has special provisions for theft of certain types of property. If it is a motor vehicle that is stolen, the violation is grand theft, a fourth degree felony. Theft of a dangerous drug constitutes a fourth degree felony, unless there is a previous felony drug conviction, in which case it becomes a third degree felony.
Port, Starboard, Larboard. The term starboard, the nautical term for the right-hand half of the ship, comes from Old English storbord and is a combination of stor, meaning steer, and bord , meaning board.. On old ships the rudder or steering paddle would be on the right side of the ship. Hence, the term starboard.
Location. The port side of some ships is strategically located to more activities such as pools, events and dining. This is ship-specific but can be beneficial for those who find navigating around a massive cruise ship taxing. The port side on some cruises is where most of the activity is, and therefore it is advantageous for those wishing to be close to the action to get a cabin on that side of the ship.
