Fire damage legal liability means that the insured party is responsible for any fire damage caused to rental property. Because the rider designates legal liability, it must be determined that the insured caused the fire for the coverage to apply. Business Coverage Applications Fire damage legal liability applies to commercial or industrial space and/or equipment that a business owner rents for a business. It also applies to residential, commercial or industrial space and/or equipment that a business owner leases. The coverage can extend into rented garage space or any other property designated to be within the insured’s control. Liability Coverage Amount It is important to determine the exact value of the rented space and/or equipment to ensure that the fire damage legal liability covers the full amount. For example, if a $100,000 rental space were destroyed by a lessee’s fire, a $50,000 rider would not fully cover the damages caused to the rental property.

What do the business insurance coverages mean? Well, obviously entire textbooks are devoted to these very questions, but in order to give you a better (and quicker) understanding I’ve put together some basic information that I think will be of help. As mentioned in other posts, it’s nearly impossible to compare a policy apples to apples based on coverage limits and price alone since every carrier imposes their own limitations and exclusions. Some carriers use ISO (International Standards Organization) coverage forms, others use their own proprietary coverage forms. Under a commercial general liability (CGL) insurance policy, the insurance company is only obligated to pay the legal costs of a claim if it is discovered to be a covered liability claim or lawsuit. Covered liability claims can include bodily injury, property damage, and/or personal injury and advertising injury (for example: damage from slander or false advertising). The insurance company also covers compensatory and general damages. Punitive damages aren’t covered under general liability insurance policies because they are considered punishment for intentional acts (for example a contractor knowingly takes the cheap route and uses subpar materials, or cuts corners against manufacturer’s recommendations to save money and increase profit margin). The Personal and advertising injury limit and products and completed operations limit may be excluded in general liability policies in professions such as consulting, architectural, engineering, legal professions, security guards, dental professions, realtors, tax professionals etc." }, { "docid": "D2607997#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Policyholder\nInsurance", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Policyholder)navigation search This article is about the risk management method.

Fire, theft and vandalism can shut down your business or require replacement of expensive equipment. A business owners policy (BOP) can protect you against all of these risks and more. It is simply a policy that provides both property and business liability insurance in one packaged policy and is designed to cover the basic needs to small to mid-sized businesses at an affordable rate. A business owners insurance policy typically includes general liability, property coverage, and business interruption insurance rolled into one policy. Despite the dire statistics, many small business owners still buy in to some myths about business owners insurance; this can be an expensive mistake.

When a home is damaged or destroyed, a homeowner will notify his or her insurance company by submitting a claim. Depending upon the type of policy in place, the insurance company will verify the claim, put a value on the damage and pay the homeowner that amount to repair the damage or rebuild his or her home. It's obviously a bit more complicated than that, but that's the general theory. The details are explained below. Policy types. The insurance industry, as a whole, has come up with several variations of homeowners' policies that have been standardized. Most homeowners will have an HO-2 (Broad form) or HO-3 (Special form) policy that protects their home and any structures from most risks – including fire. Homeowners that don't own a traditional home may have one of the following policies: Condominium Owners Policy (HO-6).

Car insurance is a contract whereby, in exchange for a premium, your insurer agrees to pay for damage or losses defined in your insurance policy. Comprehensive car insurance, for example, covers the cost of repairing or replacing your vehicle due to loss or damage caused by insured events like accidents and theft; and your liability for damage your vehicle causes to someone else’s property (e.g. their car and home). What are the different types of car insurance? Budget Direct offers four types of car insurance: Comprehensive, which covers loss or damage to your vehicle due to an accident (regardless of who’s at fault), severe weather, fire, vandalism, and theft; and damage your vehicle causes to other people’s property for which you are liable (e.g. their car and home). Third Party Property, which covers damage your vehicle causes to other people’s property for which you are liable (e.g. their car and home). It does not cover damage to your vehicle (unless it’s damaged in a no-fault accident with an uninsured driver, in which case your car has limited cover). Third Party, Fire and Theft, which provides the same protection as Third Party Property plus cover for loss or damage to your vehicle if it’s stolen or catches fire – but not if it’s damaged in a crash. Compulsory Third Party (CTP), which covers claims made against you for injuring or killing someone in an accident." }, { "docid": "D2280022#0", "title": "http://allinsuranceinfo.org/property/landlords.html\nLandlords Insurance", "text": "Auto Insurance Health Insurance Medicare Long Term Care Life Insurance Property Insurance Travel Insurance Liability Insurance Dental Insurance Miscellaneous Local Agents Different Articles FOREX Insurance Homeowners Insurance Homeowners Insurance Lingo Coverage A - Dwelling Coverage Coverage C - Personal Property Coverage Coverage D - Loss of Use Coverage Coverage E - Personal Liability Coverage Basic Coverage Broad Coverage Special Form Tenant's Policy Condominium Coverage Older Home Policy Reducing Homeowners Insurance Costs Umbrella or Excess Liability Wind and Hail Insurance Landlords Insurance Index | Property Insurance | Landlords Insurance Enter your zip code and choose insurance type in the form below to get up to 5 competitive online quotes Landlords Insurance If you are a landlord and need to protect your investments and property, your option is a Landlords Insurance (also called Buy to Let Insurance, Let Property Insurance, Property Owners Insurance, or Rental Property Insurance). This is a policy which covers you as a property owner from financial losses related to the property which you let out. Make no mistake about it; standard Home Insurance won't cover all the aspects that you need to protect being a landlord. A standard policy excludes cover for property which brings income. Landlords Insurance is specially designed for property that is let in order to earn some revenue and, unlike a Home Insurance policy, it can also cover you for landlord contents and liability to the tenants within your rental properties. Insurance companies consider let property a different type of risk, as the owner does not reside in the insured property. The premiums for Landlords Insurance policies are usually slightly higher than the premiums for a standard Home Insurance policy, namely due to this higher risk. Insurers assume that maintenance and care of a let property may be of a lower level and the response to a problem in a let property may be slower. In case you decide to let your property out for some period of time, your standard Home Insurance cover should be supplemented by Landlords Insurance. You should contact your home insurer and inform them about your changed situation." }, { "docid": "D1008187#0", "title": "https://www.kanetix.ca/commercial-general-liability-what-is-it\nCommercial General Liability (CGL): What Is It?

Property owners may be liable to the tenants and guests for injuries if they fail to keep their premises safe for them. Injuries can be caused by some defective conditions of the rental property, environmental hazards or criminal activity. If you are an owner of the property that you rent or lease out to tenants, you need insurance on your property which will protect you from risk of having to rebuild your premises and paying excessive costs in case something goes wrong. The common causes of damage to buildings are fire, smoke, hail, airline or automobile impact. Landlord Liability Insurance can protect property owners against these hazards. Landlords Insurance can be referred to a wide range of coverage from Landlords Buildings to Landlords Contents and Property Owners Liability. Since the risks associated with let properties differ from the risks associated with owner occupied properties, it is necessary to consult with an insurer who specializes in this type of Property Insurance. The fact is that a Standard, Buildings or Contents Insurance policy on a property will not provide coverage for the property or contents when you start letting it.

It became the governing body of the United States during the American Revolution. The Congress met from 1774 to 1789 in three incarnations. The first call for a convention was made over issues of the blockade and the Intolerable Acts penalizing the Province of Massachusetts, which in 1774 enabled Benjamin Franklin to convince the colonies to form a representative body. Much of what we know today comes from the yearly log books printed by the Continental Congress called Resolutions, Acts and Orders of Congress, which gives a day to day description of debates and issues. Although the delegates were divided early on as to whether to break from Crown rule, the second Continental Congress on July 2, 1776, passed a resolution asserting independence, with no opposing vote recorded. The Declaration of Independence was issued two days later declaring themselves a new nation: the United States of America. It established a Continental Army, giving command to one of its members, George Washington of Virginia. It waged war with Great Britain, made a militia treaty with France, and funded the war effort with loans and paper money.

Ironically enough, British victory in the Seven Years' War set the stage for the revolt, for it freed the colonists from the need for British protection against a French threat on their frontiers and gave free play to the forces working for separation. In 1763 the British Government, reasonably from its point of view, moved to tighten the system of imperial control and to force the colonists to contribute to imperial defense, proposing to station 10,000 soldiers along the American frontiers and to have the Americans pay part of the bill. This imperial defense plan touched off the long controversy about Parliament's right to tax that started with the Stamp and Sugar Acts and ended in December 1773, when a group of Bostonians unceremoniously dumped a cargo of British tea into the city harbor in protest against the latest reminder of the British effort to tax. In this 10-year controversy the several British ministries failed to act either firmly enough to enforce British regulations or wisely enough to develop a more viable form of imperial union, which the colonial leaders, at least until 1776, insisted that they sought. In response to the Boston Tea Party, the king and his ministers blindly pushed through Parliament a series of measures collectively known in America as the Intolerable Acts, closing the port of Boston, placing Massachusetts under the military rule of Maj. Gen. Sir Thomas Gage, and otherwise infringing on what the colonists deemed to be their rights and interests. Since 1763 the colonial leaders, in holding that only their own popular assemblies, not the British Parliament, had a right to levy taxes on Americans, had raised the specter of an arbitrary British Government collecting taxes in America to support red-coated Regulars who might be used not to protect the frontiers but to suppress American liberties. Placing Massachusetts under military rule gave that specter some substance and led directly to armed revolt.42The Outbreak The First Continental Congress meeting at Philadelphia on September 5, 1774, addressed respectful petitions to Parliament and king but also adopted nonimportation and nonexportation agreements in an effort to coerce the British Government into repealing the offending measures." }, { "docid": "D1034996#0", "title": "https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/19137-24-constitutional-questions-every-american-should-be-able-to-answer\n24 Constitutional Questions Every American Should be Able to Answer", "text": "\"Sunday, 17 September 201724 Constitutional Questions Every American Should be Able to Answer Written by John F.

The \"\"Boston Tea Party\"\" was only the latest in a string of increasingly tense encounters between Bostonians and the British. Alarmed, and already disposed to be angry, the British Parliament passed a series of punitive measures—the so-called Intolerable or Coercive Acts—and sent a garrison of soldiers to shut down the port of Boston. 7 For many colonists, military occupation was a step too far. Thomas Jefferson, at this point a young and little-known member of the Virginia House of Burgesses, introduced a resolution calling for Virginia to stand in solidarity with Boston. His proposal infuriated the royal governor, who promptly dissolved the Virginia legislature. The Virginia representatives, seeing in the governor's actions more proof of the Crown's corruption, reconvened at a tavern down the street and called for a continental congress to coordinate the colonies' response to Britain's aggression.

The birth of our own nation included them all. That birth was unique, not only in the immensity of its later impact on the course of world history and the growth of democracy, but also because so many of the threads in our national history run back through time to come together in one place, in one time, and in one document: the Declaration of Independence. Moving Toward Independence The clearest call for independence up to the summer of 1776 came in Philadelphia on June 7. On that date in session in the Pennsylvania State House (later Independence Hall), the Continental Congress heard Richard Henry Lee of Virginia read his resolution beginning: \"\"Resolved: That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved. \"\" The Lee Resolution was an expression of what was already beginning to happen throughout the colonies.

While unratified, the document was used by the Congress to conduct business, direct the American Revolutionary War, conduct diplomacy with foreign nations, and deal with territorial issues and Native American relations.

In response, colonial protestors led by a group called the Sons of Liberty issued a call for a boycott. Merchant communities were reluctant to participate in such a boycott unless there were mutually agreed upon terms and a means to enforce the boycott’s provisions. Spurred by local pressure groups, colonial legislatures empowered delegates to attend a Continental Congress which would set terms for a boycott.

Your second cousin is the child of your parent's first cousin. Therefore, if you share grandparents with a first cousin, you share great-grandparents with a second cousin, great-great-grandparents with a third, and so on.

By his father he was a distant relative of the Earls of Grantham and he became the heir of the title due the heir's death. Matthew then met his third-cousin, once removed, Robert Crawley, 7th Earl of Grantham , and moved to Downton a few months after where he met and quickly fell in love with Robert's eldest daughter, Mary.

This primarily occurs when adults adopt children that are not their own. In many cases, not only does the child have their birth-surname changed, but their first and middle names as well. There are many forms of adoption. Some are legal (done as per laws of the land -- such as adopting an orphan), some are \"\"common law\"\" (just done and accepted by everyone -- such as raising your nephew as your son) and some are circumstantial (such as someone just taking on a surname or being forced to take on a surname, like slaves). When tracing your family tree you can not be selective about who you include. Adoption -- essentially -- means nothing more than a person being assigned a new surname (unless they all ready carried the same surname). When a woman marries and her name changes, she has absolutely no blood line involved in her new surname until she has children. When she has children, she continued the family name of her husband (not her own -- usually).

Twenty-two of these matched pairs of chromosomes are called \"\"autosomes,\"\" while the 23rd pair determines your sex (X or Y). Autosomal DNA is inherited from both parents and includes some contributions from further generations (grandparents, great-grandparents, and so on). Your autosomes essentially contain a complete genetic record, with all branches of your ancestry contributing a piece of your autosomal DNA. How It's Used Autosomal DNA tests can be used to search for relative connections along any branch of your family tree. Unless the connection is so far back that the shared DNA has essentially been eliminated through too many generations of recombination, any autosomal match between two individuals indicates a possible genetic connection. There is nothing in this test that will tell you which branch of your family the match is on, however. Therefore, having your parents, grandparents, cousins, and other family members tested will help you to narrow down potential matches. How It Works For each of your 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes, you received one from your mother and one from your father. Before they passed these chromosomes down to you, the contents were randomly jumbled in a process called \"\"recombination\"\" (this is why you and your siblings are all a little different from each other)." }, { "docid": "D2190773#0", "title": "http://myrelative.com/html/definitions.html\n.", "text": "\"Cousin (or \"\"First Cousin\"\"): The son or daughter of an uncle or aunt.

Standard of deferred payments is a monetary unit in which liabilities maturing at some future date are expressed. All primitive deferred payments were not necessarily fixed in terms of primitive money even after the adoption of a primitive monetary system for other purposes. Deferred payments need not be made in the same object in which they are expressed. Even after the adoption of modern money a wave of distrust is appropriate to lead to a return to the use of some primitive standard of deferred payments. Every standard of value, though good enough to serve the requirements of current transactions, may not command sufficient confidence to be acceptable for a standard of deferred payments which imply confidence in the stability in the long run. The use of commodity currencies as standards of deferred payments tends in the long run to work out to the advantage of creditors, owing to the secular upward trend of the value of commodities.

While some actors keep their polyglot passions under the radar — Salma Hayek (Portuguese, Arabic), Morgan Freeman (French), Will Smith (Spanish) — others are more than happy to practice their non-native tongues in front of crowds and cameras. We scoured the depths of You Tube to bring you video proof that some of your favorite actors have some unexpected language skills. Check it out. Natalie Portman — Hebrew Whether because she keeps her private life private or because she changed her name from Herslag to Portman, a lot of people don't know just how important Natalie's Jewish heritage is to her, or that she was actually born in Israel. So with that in mind, Portman's ability to converse in Hebrew shouldn't come as much of a shock. Bradley Cooper — French Being voted the \"\"sexiest man alive\"\" should do wonders for a guy's chances with the opposite sex. Likewise, being able to carry on a conversation in what is often called the sexiest language in the world can't hurt either. Bradley Cooper must have been a great person in his past life because he has both those boxes checked.

Geirangerfjord, Norway Geologically, a fjord or fiord ( / ˈ f j ɔːr d / ( listen), / f i ˈ ɔːr d / ( listen)) [1] is a long, narrow inlet with steep sides or cliffs, created by a glacier. [ 2] There are many fjords on the coasts of Alaska, British Columbia, Chile, Greenland, Iceland, the Kerguelen Islands, New Zealand, Norway, Novaya Zemlya, Labrador, Nunavut, Newfoundland, Scotland, and Washington state. [ 3]Norway's coastline is estimated at 29,000 kilometres (18,000 mi) with 1,190 fjords, but only 2,500 kilometres (1,600 mi) when fjords are excluded.

[ 6] Glacial melting is accompanied by the rebounding of Earth's crust as the ice load and eroded sediment is removed (also called isostasy or glacial rebound). In some cases this rebound is faster than sea level rise. Most fjords are deeper than the adjacent sea; Sognefjord, Norway, reaches as much as 1,300 m (4,265 ft) below sea level. Fjords generally have a sill or shoal (bedrock) at their mouth caused by the previous glacier's reduced erosion rate and terminal moraine. [ 7] In many cases this sill causes extreme currents and large saltwater rapids (see skookumchuck )." }, { "docid": "D649274#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_of_water\nBody of water", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Not to be confused with Body water. For other uses, see Body of water (disambiguation). A fjord ( Lysefjord) in Norway A body of water or waterbody [1] (often spelled water body) is any significant accumulation of water, generally on a planet's surface. The term most often refers to oceans, seas, and lakes, but it includes smaller pools of water such as ponds, wetlands, or more rarely, puddles. A body of water does not have to be still or contained; rivers, streams, canals, and other geographical features where water moves from one place to another are also considered bodies of water. [ 2]Most are naturally occurring geographical features, but some are artificial. There are types that can be either. For example, most reservoirs are created by engineering dams, but some natural lakes are used as reservoirs. Similarly, most harbors are naturally occurring bays, but some harbors have been created through construction. Bodies of water that are navigable are known as waterways." }, { "docid": "D443661#0", "title": "http://work.chron.com/much-money-casting-director-make-14191.html\nHow Much Money Does a Casting Director Make?", "text": "\"Related Articles1Casting Directors Salary2The Road to Becoming a Casting Director3The Pay Scale for Assistant Movie Directors4How Much Does a Film Production Coordinator Make? Casting directors ensure that “the show must go on” by finding, interviewing and selecting actors for a show, film or live production. They also typically oversee the hiring of all extras or actors who fill the scenes. Casting directors are supported by professional organizations, including The Casting Society of America, or CSA, and can earn great salaries once they are established in television or film. Pay The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the median annual salary for all directors was $70,660 per year, or $33.97 per hour, in 2011. The top 10 percent earned more than $187,000 per year, while the lowest 10 percent earned an average of $32,010. It is a field where your experience is rewarded as this, along with your credentials and quality of work, will move you into the top 10 percent. Those in the motion picture and video industry, for example, earned an annual mean wage of $115,920 as compared to those in the performing arts companies industry, who earned an averages of $59,550. What Casting Directors Do Many casting directors are former actors or producers who know the industry very well and have established expertise and a good reputation over their years of work. Their primary focus is to identify the best talent or fit for a given role while keeping a focus on the artistic and creative direction of the production." }, { "docid": "D60465#0", "title": "http://www.definitions.net/definition/FIFE\nDefinitions &Translations", "text": "\"Princeton's Word Net (5.00 / 1 vote)Rate this definition:fife (noun)a small high-pitched flute similar to a piccolo; has a shrill tone and is used chiefly to accompany drums in a marching band Wiktionary (5.00 / 1 vote)Rate this definition:fife (Noun)A small shrill pipe, resembling the piccolo flute, used chiefly to accompany the drum in military music Fife (Proper Noun)A traditional county of Scotland now a Unitary Authority, situated between the Firth of Tay and the Firth of Forth, with landward boundaries to Perth and Kinross and Clackmannanshire.

Context This lesson was developed by Dr. Penny Firth, a scientist, as part of a set of interdisciplinary Science Net Links lessons aimed at improved understanding of environmental phenomena and events. Some of the lessons integrate topics that cross biological, ecological, and physical concepts. Others involve elements of economics, history, anthropology, and art. Each lesson is framed by plain-language background information for the teacher, and includes a selection of instructional tips and activities in the boxes. This is the first of a strand of five lessons entitled Urban Ecosystems: Continuity and Change: Urban Ecosystems 1: Cities Are Urban Ecosystems Urban Ecosystems 2: Why Are There Cities? A Historical Perspective Urban Ecosystems 3: Cities as Population Centers Urban Ecosystems 4: Metabolism of Urban Ecosystems Urban Ecosystems 5: In Defense of Cities This lesson series addresses the concept of cities as urban ecosystems that include both nature and humans in a largely human-built environment. Students will be shown the importance of food surpluses to the historical development of urban ecosystems. They will also learn how the exploitation of forests, irrigation waters, and other resources led to catastrophe for some early cities. One lesson shows that the size and number of modern urban ecosystems is unprecedented and that fossil fuel use is a key factor in this." }, { "docid": "D123580#0", "title": "https://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/may/08/gayrights.greece\nSun, sea and Sappho", "text": "\"Sappho Sun, sea and Sappho Should only those born on the Greek island of Lesbos be allowed to call themselves lesbian?

Sticks are their stock and trade, but that's only the beginning of what they have to offer. One look through this selection of Vic Firth drums and percussion accessories is enough to see that, since there's a pretty big variety here to choose from. Along with the impressive lineup of drumsticks, brushes and other percussion mallets, you'll find plenty of equipment that you can put to work when you're practicing at home, rocking out onstage, marching on the field, or just about anywhere else drumming might take you. To get started looking through what Vic Firth has to offer, there's no better suggestion than checking out their core range of sticks. Standard options like the Vic Firth American Classic Hickory Drumsticks are naturally some of the best-sellers, and there's even more where those came from. If you play a drum that requires a specialty stick, you can probably find it here - take the Vic Firth Alex Acuna Conquistador Timbale Sticks for example. Want something totally different? Maybe it's time to add some brushes to your collection, like the Vic Firth Heritage Brush Rubber Handle.

It is frequently used in the medical domain (whether a patient will get well or not), in sociology (survey analysis), epidemiology and medicine, in quantitative marketing (whether or not products are purchased following an action) and in finance for modeling risks (scoring). The principle of the logistic regression model is to link the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event to explanatory variables. Models for logistic regression Logistic and linear regression belong to the same family of models called GLM ( Generalized Linear Models ): in both cases, an event is linked to a linear combination of explanatory variables. For linear regression, the dependent variable follows a normal distribution N (µ, s) where µ is a linear function of the explanatory variables. For logistic regression, the dependent variable, also called the response variable, follows a Bernoulli distribution for parameter p (p is the mean probability that an event will occur) when the experiment is repeated once, or a Binomial (n, p) distribution if the experiment is repeated n times (for example the same dose tried on n insects). The probability parameter p is here a linear combination of explanatory variables. The must common functions used to link probability p to the explanatory variables are the logistic function (we refer to the Logit model) and the standard normal distribution function (the Probit model). Both these functions are perfectly symmetric and sigmoid: XLSTAT provides two other functions: the complementary Log-log function is closer to the upper asymptote. The Gompertz function is on the contrary closer the axis of abscissa." }, { "docid": "D1311507#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_written_by_Stephen_Foster\nList of songs written by Stephen Foster", "text": "\"List of songs written by Stephen Foster From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This is a list of songs written by Stephen Foster (1826-1864) including those published posthumously.

In mainland Scotland it is used to describe a large sea bay, or even a strait. In the Northern Isles it more usually refers to a smaller inlet. It is linguistically cognate to fjord which has a more constrained sense in English; a firth would most likely be called a fjord if it were situated in Scandinavia. Bodies of water named \"\"firths\"\" tend to be more common on the east coast, or in the southwest of the country, although the Firth of Lorn is an exception to this.

Here's the answer: Classic fit polos mean their \"\"sleeves\"\" on your upper arms are MUCH longer than the ones on a modern fit shirt. Since when polos were first made, their sleeves were long like the \"\"classic fit\"\" but most of the polos manufactured today by all the other companies make their polos in what we now know as a \"\"modern fit shirt\"\". The modern fit shirt is also known as the \"\"slim fit polo shirt\"\" since it is also a bit tighter fitting. I suggest you go to the store itself if you feel like trying on both types of shirts to see what suits your body best. I hope this helped, feel free to email me if you need more help.

I – regrettably – don’t come from a background where tapping in the digits of daddy’s gold card is a possibility when making a purchase, and I’m yet to become one of those fabled lottery winners to whom money is no object. Therefore, it can prove quite tricky to keep on top of each season’s new menswear trends without rendering myself bankrupt at least twice yearly. Thankfully, for spring/summer 2015, several of 2014’s key trends continue to dominate the list of what’s current, which means that many of you are probably already in possession of the items you’ll need to look on point. Put simply, a complete wardrobe overhaul is not necessary – great news for both your bank balance and general mental health. Here are the five trends to focus on this season:1) All-White2014 saw several designers opt for all-white, minimalist looks, which made a refreshing change to the bold patterns and colours that have inundated menswear over the past few years. From white tailoring at Jil Sander, Berluti and Dolce & Gabbana to sportswear-inspired white-on-white ensembles at Emporio Armani, the all-white trend drew plenty of attention and was probably responsible for racking up a few hefty dry cleaning bills in the process. At London Collections: Men spring/summer 2015, the hue continued to make its presence felt. Christopher Shannon’s collection included his signature sportswear (anoraks and baggy shorts) in white, as well as white wash denim jackets and jeans. At Alexander Mc Queen, there was sharp white tailoring punctuated by pops of primary colour, while Swedish brand Common kept their collection especially clean with both casual and tailored separates in white, including wide- and short-sleeved sheer shirts." }, { "docid": "D1736323#0", "title": "https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/08/12/army-physical-fitness-uniform-makeover/13941105/\nArmy physical fitness uniform gets golden makeover", "text": "\" (Photo: U.

Maybe you keep them in dresser drawers taking up valuable space from clothes you actually wear, or maybe they are in boxes in the attic or garage, or hanging in every closet of the house. Maybe you've even considered finally getting rid of them after all these years... WELL DON\"\"T ... here is a great solution!Make a warm, cozy, T-shirt Quilt and keep the memories without taking up all your drawer space. A personal T-shirt quilt provides: Warmth, Conversation, Story-telling, Tears of joy, Sparks of memories, Gifts of love for any and all occasions, and An outlet for creative thinking and design. This project requires little money because you are primarily using materials you already have on hand i.e.) T-shirts, a blanket, a sheet, all your leftover thread and yarn from previous sewing projects, time, and your brain. The only expense required for this project is medium weight iron-on interfacing. This quilt is great because you can just throw it in the washer and dryer.

Not quite. In fact, this dress code guideline is a frequent source of confusion for workers. And it's not their fault — there really isn't a clear, standardized definition. Business casual may mean different things at different companies, cities, and industries. And on top of that, understanding the subtle differences between \"\"business\"\" and \"\"business casual\"\" isn't easy. One thing is clear: Dressing in shorts and a t-shirt or a sundress and sandals is too casual. But wearing a full suit — and a tie, if you're a man — is too formal.

Next Up Unit Cost Variable Cost Ratio Fixed Charge High-Low Method BREAKING DOWN 'Fixed Cost'A fixed cost is an operating expense of a business that cannot be avoided regardless of the level of production. Fixed costs are usually used in breakeven analysis to determine pricing and the level of production and sales under which a company generates neither profit nor loss. Fixed costs and variable costs form the total cost structure of a company, which plays a crucial role in ensuring its profitability. Examples of Fixed Costs Accountants perform extensive analysis of different expenses to determine whether they are variable or fixed. Higher fixed costs in the total cost structure of a company require it to achieve higher levels of revenues to break even. Fixed costs must be incurred regularly, and they tend to show little fluctuations from period to period. Examples of fixed costs include insurance, interest expense, property taxes, utilities expenses and depreciation of assets." } ]

Before we explain what an absolute reference is in Excel, if you are not familiar with the very basics of how to link cells in Excel, then you might want to read this refresher: How to link cells in Excel . What are those dollar sign symbols in Excel – they are absolute references!If a cell is copied and pasted into another cell somewhere else on the spreadsheet then any reference in that cell to another cell (which would look something like “=A1” in the formula bar) will also be changed and updated automatically by Excel. Well, what if we wanted to make it so that the reference inside the cell stays fixed even if the cell is moved somewhere else? This way, Excel will not be able to change the reference. Luckily there is an easy way to do this – and it uses the dollar sign symbol to make the reference “absolute”, or fixed, so that Excel can not change the reference. An example without absolute references in Excel Let’s first consider what would happen if we did not have absolute cell references in an example below – this means that the dollar sign symbol won’t be used. So, we have some cells B2-B7 with names of tennis players, and we set cell C2 to reference B2 by using “=B2” in the formula bar as you can see in the screenshot below: What if we now just drag the cell C2 down using the black arrow that appears when we hover over the bottom right hand corner of the selected cell – what exactly happens? Well, Excel will assume that you want to maintain the same relative references and will automatically update the new cells with references to the cells directly to their left. So, the spreadsheet will now look like this: Note that the currently selected cell (C7 – Agassi) has a reference to the cell to the left of it (B7)." }, { "docid": "D2488484#0", "title": "https://www.quora.com/Is-labor-a-fixed-or-variable-cost\nIs labor a fixed or variable cost?", "text": "\"Quora User, lives in San Francisco (2017-present)Answered Dec 17, 2011 · Upvoted by Luke Stein, Ph.

A fixed bid may protect you if the job is unexpectedly expensive (within reason, generally if the scope creeps too much the initial fee won't hold up). With a fixed bid, a contractor has an incentive to expedite the work and move on to their next project. Disadvantages of a fixed bid Contractors may pad their bids to protect themselves against unforeseen circumstances. You will miss out on potential savings if the job ends up using less time and materials. If the contractors expenses start to exceed their expectations, they may cut costs to get back under their target budget, reducing the quality of the final product. This can be protected against by carefully defining the desired result within the agreement." }, { "docid": "D2576017#0", "title": "http://www.removal-companies.london/how-much-does-it-cost-to-move-house.php\nHow to calculate moving costs?", "text": "How to calculate moving costs?

In other words, the unit contribution margin is the selling price of a product minus the variable costs incurred to produce that product. What Does Unit Contribution Margin Mean? Unit contribution margin measures the amount of the selling price of a unit that is used to cover fixed costs for that unit. Since companies’ cost structures are important for production and planning purposes, managers want to know how much fixed costs are distributed to each unit produced. This is where the unit contribution margin calculation comes in. Unit contribution margin is important for managers to understand because it is used in order to calculate contribution margin ratio of products as well as break-even point analyzes. Example Most manufacturers’ management divides costs into fixed and variable costs. Since variable costs are usually easy to track back to units being produced, variable costs can be estimated for each product produced. For instance, an auto manufacturer can could the labor hours and materials used to produce a fender on a car." }, { "docid": "D1500637#0", "title": "http://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/031715/how-does-fixed-costs-and-variable-costs-affect-gross-profit.asp\nHow do fixed costs and variable costs affect gross profit?", "text": "\"A: Gross profit is an important measure of a company's profitability that indicates its ability to turn a dollar of revenue into a dollar of profit, after accounting for all expenses directly associated with producing goods or services for sale. The formula for gross profit is simply total revenue minus the cost of goods sold, or COGS. COGS is a very specific financial concept that includes only those business expenses required to produce goods, such as raw materials and wages for labor required to create or assemble the product. Other expenses required to run a business, such as rent and insurance premiums, are not included. COGS is comprised of fixed costs and variable costs, which in turn have a large effect on gross profit. What Are Variable Costs? Variable costs are expenses that increase or decrease according to the number of items produced. For example, to produce 100 rocking chairs, a company may need to purchase $2,000 worth of lumber. To produce 1,000 rocking chairs, lumber needs are much greater, making this a variable cost. Other variable costs include wages for direct labor, shipping costs and sales commissions." }, { "docid": "D2479070#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/23400652/pmp-12-project-procurement-management-faisal-flash-cards/\nPMP 12: Project Procurement Management (Faisal)", "text": "\"278 terms phase8PMP 12: Project Procurement Management (Faisal)Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Sort Project Procurement Management Includes the processes necessary to purchase or acquire products, services, or results needed from outside the project team Characteristics of Project Procurement Management • The organization can be either the buyer or seller of the products, services, or results of a project. • Includes the contract management and change control processes required to develop and administer contracts or purchase orders issued by authorized project team members. • Includes administering any contract issued by an outside organization (the buyer) that is acquiring the project from the performing organization (the seller), and administering contractual obligations placed on the project team by the contract. • Involve contracts that are legal documents between a buyer and a seller. • It is the project management team's responsibility to make certain that all procurements meet the specific needs of the project while adhering to organizational procurement policies. • The project management team may seek support early from specialists in contracting, purchasing, law, and technical disciplines.

Fixed costs are usually used in breakeven analysis to determine pricing and the level of production and sales under which a company generates neither profit nor loss. Fixed costs and variable costs form the total cost structure of a company, which plays a crucial role in ensuring its profitability. Examples of Fixed Costs Accountants perform extensive analysis of different expenses to determine whether they are variable or fixed. Higher fixed costs in the total cost structure of a company require it to achieve higher levels of revenues to break even. Fixed costs must be incurred regularly, and they tend to show little fluctuations from period to period. Examples of fixed costs include insurance, interest expense, property taxes, utilities expenses and depreciation of assets." } ]

Pain in the flanks may be any of these two types: Unilateral – Pain in right or left flank Bilateral – Flank pain on both sides Flank Pain Location The pain arises in the flank, the region of the body that is above the Ilium and below the rib. Usually, it begins in a posterior fashion or in the middle part of the axillary line. It results from the stimulation of specific nerve endings upon stretching of the renal capsule or ureter. Flank Pain Causes Some of the main causes of Flank pain are: Kidney problems Pain in the flanks may arise due to diseases and other problems affecting the kidney, such as kidney stones, renal infection (Pyelonephritis), polycystic kidney disorders, abscesses and renal infarction.

The development of the stones is typically related to increased excretion of stone-forming components such as calcium, oxalate, urate or cystine. The pain with kidney stones is usually of sudden onset, very severe and colicky (intermittent), not improved by changes in position, radiating from the back, down the flank, and into the groin. Nausea and vomiting are common. Treatment includes relief of pain, hydration and, if there is concurrent urinary infection, antibiotics. The majority of stones pass spontaneously within 48 hours.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Nine patients who were studied with multidetector computed tomography at our institution from January 2003 to December 2009 had urologic symptoms with RLRV. We retrospectively reviewed these patients' medical records and analyzed their clinical characteristics. RESULTS: The patients' mean age was 46.0+/-20.1 years (range, 17-65 years) and the male to female ratio was 5 to 4. The urologic symptoms of the initial diagnosis were various (hematuria: 5 of the 9 patients; left flank pain: 4 of the 9 patients; inguinal pain: 1 of the 5 male patients; and gross hematuria: 1 of the 9 patients). The distribution among the type I, II, III, and IV of RLRV was 6, 2, 1, and 0 patients, respectively. The concomitant diseases were ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO; 2 of the 9 patients) and varicocele (2 of the 5 male patients)." }, { "docid": "D1614129#0", "title": "http://www.medicinenet.com/kidney_pain/page5.htm\nKidney Pain (Location, Symptoms, Relief)", "text": "\"Kidney pain definition and facts The function and purpose of the kidneys are to remove excess fluid and waste products from the body.

I have been feeling pain on both sides of my spine in the flank area, especially when I lay down at night and in the morning before I get up. Could this be a problem with my kidneys? A. First, please be aware that most types of kidney disease (such as those caused by diabetes and high blood pressure) do not cause pain. Kidneys rarely hurt, except in the cases of kidney stones and kidney infection. Pain caused by the kidneys is typically felt in the flank area, which is in the back, just at the lower edge of the ribs on either side of the spine. Kidney pain usually is sharp, severe, and occurs in waves. What isn't kidney pain It is rare for the kidneys to cause dull, aching pain. People sometimes equate back pain with kidney pain, but dull aching pain in the back -- especially the lower back or the middle of the back -- is usually due to muscles, ligaments, or even vertebrae and disks in the spinal column. Musculoskeletal pain typically gets worse with movement, and is relieved by heat or massage." }, { "docid": "D905527#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/topics/blood-in-urine-in-males-with-muscle-strains\nTop 40 Doctor insights on: Blood In Urine In Males With Muscle Strains", "text": "\"Top 40 Doctor insights on: Blood In Urine In Males With Muscle Strains Share Follow @Health Tap </> Embed Dr. S.

The following write-up provides information on the medical treatment and remedies for kidney pain relief. The kidneys are bean-shaped organs that are located just below the rib cage, towards the back in the upper section of the abdomen. The kidneys not only perform the vital function of filtering out the wastes or toxins from blood, they also maintain the balance of fluids in the body. A host of health problems can arise if the kidneys fail to perform their task. The loss of kidney function would sooner or later give rise to kidney pain, which is pain that is felt in the flank region. While drug therapy can certainly help in alleviating pain that may be arising from the kidneys, making the right lifestyle choices can surely help in preventing the recurrence of kidney problems in future. Medical Conditions that May Cause Flank Pain Though the formation of kidney stones is one of the most common causes of pain, distressing symptoms could also be attributed to a kidney infection or chronic kidney diseases such as cancer or polycystic kidney disease. Kidney stones are stone-like deposits that form due to the crystallization of minerals and salts in urine. When these hardened deposits get lodged in the ureter, the passage of urine gets obstructed thereby causing the urine to back up in the kidneys." }, { "docid": "D1819398#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/topics/do-kidney-stones-cause-bloating\nTop 40 Doctor insights on: Do Kidney Stones Cause Bloating", "text": "Top 40 Doctor insights on: Do Kidney Stones Cause Bloating Share Follow @Health Tap </> Embed Dr. Luis Villaplana1 Do kidney stone cause weight gain or bloating?

FI is a sign or a symptom, not a diagnosis. Incontinence can result from different causes and might occur with either constipation or diarrhea. Continence is maintained by several inter-related factors, including the anal sampling mechanism, and usually there is more than one deficiency of these mechanisms for incontinence to develop. The most common causes are thought to be immediate or delayed damage from childbirth, complications from prior anorectal surgery (especially involving the anal sphincters or hemorrhoidal vascular cushions) and altered bowel habits (e.g., caused by irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, food intolerance, or constipation with overflow incontinence).

[ 2]Fecal incontinence has three main consequences: local reactions of the perianal skin and urinary tract, including maceration (softening and whitening of skin due to continuous moisture), urinary tract infections, or decubitus ulcers (pressure sores); [1] a financial expense for individuals (due to cost of medication and incontinence products, and loss of productivity), employers (days off), and medical insurers and society generally ( health care costs, unemployment ); and an associated decrease in quality of life.

The first thought of the medicinal use of plumbago was given to Dr. Weinhold by the fact, that during his journey in Italy he saw workmen in a mirror factory in Venice use it externally for driving away herpes. He imitated them, and described the result in a little work ; Der Graphit als Heilmittel gegen Flechten (Plumbago as a remedy for herpes), (2d ed., Meissen, 1812). He prescribed its external application either with saliva or with some fat, or the rubbed in the ointment, or applied a plaster of plumbago.

But the flatus tube, used to treat a condition of the sigmoid colon, is one no surgeon relishes. The sigmoid is an S-shaped stretch of large bowel, about 40cm long, which leads up to the rectum. Its main function is to store faeces until it is ready to enter the rectum and be expelled through the anus, and it is the site of a variety of problems. Inflammatory bowel disease such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease may occur here. Diverticulitis, in which little outpouchings of bowel form and become inflamed, is more common in the sigmoid than any other part of the bowel. Small growths called polyps, as well as cancers, also favour this site. The good thing about investigating sigmoid disease is that this part of the colon isn't far from the outside world.

Intestinal Gas Overview Many healthy individuals are concerned that they have too much intestinal gas, thinking that their digestive tract could be malfunctioning. While gas in itself is not dangerous, our inability to control its passage might have social implications. Studies have shown that the average person generates 0.6-1.8L of gas per day. This gas comes from two sources, swallowed air (exogenous) and that produced by colonic bacteria (endogenous). Intestinal gas is composed of various amounts of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and methane. Oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide come from swallowed air and hydrogen and methane are by-products of the breakdown of food residue by good bacteria (probiotics) naturally residing in the colon. Careful analysis of intestinal gas has shown that it is comprised primarily of exogenous air and only a small amount of endogenous air. Although less than 1% of gas is odorous, intestinal bacteria produce several sulphur-containing compounds that are the primary odour culprits. The human nose can detect hydrogen sulphide in concentrations as low as one-half part per billion, so passing even a very small amount of this gas could draw attention!Gas Passage Gas releases from the digestive tract via the mouth by belching, or via the anus as flatus." }, { "docid": "D3461466#0", "title": "http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/health-fitness/prevention/how-to-get-rid-of-gas\nHow to Get Rid of Gas", "text": "For some reason, my readers seem fascinated with embarrassing subjects.

The experimental plots were situated at different distances (0.5 and 15 km) from the source of pollution—the Non-Ferrous-Metal Works (MFMW) near Plovdiv. We investigated the level of pollution and the way heavy metals enter the fibre crops, by taking soil and plant samples. The contents of heavy metals in plant materials (roots, stems, leaves, seeds, flowers) were determined after the method of the dry mineralization. The quantitative measurements were carried out with inductively-coupled plasma (ICP). A clearly distinguished species peculiarity exists in the accumulation of heavy metals in the vegetative and reproductive organs of flax, hemp and cotton. Flax is the crop that most strongly absorbs and accumulates heavy metals from the soil, followed by hemp and cotton. The distribution of the heavy metals along the plant axis of the studied crops seems to be selective, therefore their contents in flax and hemp are decreasing in the following order: roots>stems>leaves>seeds, while in cotton: leaves>seeds>roots>stems. A strongly exhibited tendency towards decrease of the contents of heavy metals in the fibre crops is observed as the distance from the NFMW increases.

Despite having comparable nutritional profiles, preliminary observations suggest differences in gelling properties, an attribute that may alter the kinetics of food digestion. Thus, we compared the effect of two seeds on postprandial glycemia and satiety scores. Subjects/Methods: Fifteen healthy participants (M/F: 5/10; age: 23.9±3 years; BMI: 22.2±0.8 kg/m 2) were randomized to receive a 50 g glucose challenge, alone or supplemented with either 25 g ground Salba-chia or 31.5 g flax, on three separate occasions. Blood glucose samples and satiety ratings were collected at fasting and over 2-h postprandially. In addition, in vitro viscosity of the beverages was assessed utilizing standard rheological methodology. Results: Both Salba-chia and flax reduced blood glucose area under the curve over 120 min by 82.5±19.7 mmol/l ( P <0.001) and 60.0±19.7 mmol/l ( P =0.014), respectively, relative to a glucose control. Salba-chia reduced peak glucose (−0.64±0.24 mmol/l; P =0.030) and increased time to peak (11.3±3.8 min; P =0.015) compared with flax. Salba-chia significantly reduced the mean ratings of desire to eat (−7±2 mm; P =0.005), prospective consumption (−7±2 mm; P =0.010) and overall appetite score (−6±2 mm; P =0.012), when compared with flax.

For the purpose of simplicity, in this article we will include all species commonly referred to as “nuts” and “seeds,” regardless of their specific category. Nuts and seeds were an important energy and nutrient source throughout history. Almonds and pistachio nuts are mentioned as far back as biblical times, and references to other nuts and seeds abound in the literature. Historians hypothesize that ancient societies (about 10,000 years ago) centered on the harvesting of nuts, which may then have fostered agriculture. Predictable growth (nuts grow on trees), long storage life (especially during winter), and generous nutrient profiles are all advantages of nuts to ancient cultures. Interestingly, ancient Romans gave sugared almonds as gifts at weddings, and this custom is still used today. Peanuts, which date back to about 800 B.

In an attempt to reduce this cost, you can feed laying hens and meat birds, including young birds, whole grains, either as their entire diet or to supplement purchased feed. Whole grains are more nutritious than ground, since oxidation occurs after grinding, reducing nutritional content; and the longer the ground grain sits around, the greater the loss. When changing the diet of adult birds, add the whole grain to the diets gradually to promote gizzard development. The gizzard helps grind feed. Use whole grain for 5% of the diet for the first two weeks to adapt the gizzard, then, over a couple of weeks more, increase the percentage to whatever level you have decided to feed. Birds fed whole grains have significantly larger gizzards, which could be a selling point for gizzard bits for gravy. Grit needs to be provided at all times when the birds are not on pasture in order to help digest the whole grain.

They are commonly used as nutritional supplements and are known to be successful in treating various diseases. To better understand why they are used, you should know that fatty acids are divided into Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are preferred over Omega-6 fatty acids thanks to their inflammation reducing properties, although your pet also needs a balances amount of Omega-6’s as well. Fish oil and flaxseed oil are common supplements that provide the most important Omega-3 fatty acids, specifically EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and DHA. However, the Omega-3’s in flaxseed oil are inactive. Fish oil contains all the active Omega-3’s. Many people claim that flaxseed oil has a higher amount of these Omega-3’s, but in reality, flaxseed oil contains higher amounts of ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), another type of Omega-3 fatty acid. ALA is converted into EPA and DHA in some species of dogs, which then allows the benefits of the Omega-3’s to be absorbed in their bodies.

I used a combination of organic avocado oil and strained drippings from organic bacon. This worked pretty well on the popover pan, which doesn’t have a polished surface. But the smooth inner surface of a skillet showed an unevenness of color and texture, and the seasoning wasn’t hard enough. It was too easily marred by cooking utensils or scraping against oven racks. I wanted to understand the chemistry behind seasoning so I’d know how to fix this, but there is nothing that addresses this issue directly. A Web page on cast iron posted by someone similarly obsessed with the science gave me two crucial clues, the phrases “polymerized fat” and “drying oil”.

Benefits of Whole Ground Flaxseed Meal Cold Milled Flax: How Much Is Too Much? Long before its health benefits were confirmed by science, flaxseed was considered a medicinal food -- it was a choice laxative in ancient times. With its high fiber content, flaxseed is still helpful in preventing and treating constipation. It’s also a significant source of plant-derived omega-3s, the anti-inflammatory fatty acids associated with cardiovascular health. Because these polyunsaturated fats deteriorate rather quickly, however, flaxseed has a relatively short shelf life. Short Shelf Life One reason refined grain products are such a ubiquitous part of the food supply is that they’re far more shelf-stable than whole-grain products. Grain kernels contain unsaturated fatty acids, which are stripped away in the refining process. Unsaturated fats oxidize fairly quickly, so the foods that contain them -- including whole grains, plant-based oils, nuts and seeds -- tend to spoil more rapidly. Ground flaxseed and flaxseed oil turn rancid faster than whole flaxseed, as their unsaturated fats are far more exposed to oxidation." }, { "docid": "D2523300#0", "title": "http://www.rapidhomeremedies.com/remedies-to-cure-constipation.html\n9 Rapid Remedies to Cure Constipation", "text": "9 Rapid Remedies to Cure Constipation January 21, 2014 By Sara 18 Comments Nothing bogs you down for the whole day (and even for a few more coming days) like constipation does.

You can also use this list as a way to avoid foods high in estrogen if you have too much estrogen in your body.1. Dried Fruits Dried fruit, especially dried apricots, dates, and prunes, can help balance your estrogen levels in a big way. They are also a healthy snack that can keep you away from the vending machine with a sweet and satisfying chewiness, as well as added fiber. These dried fruits contain phytoestrogens, which will mimic the way estrogen is used by the body, helping to fill any shortages you may have in estrogen, and producing the same effect as if you had generated more estrogen in the body. When eating dried fruit, remember that the drying process concentrates all parts of the fruit, so you’ll generally be getting more vitamins and nutrients from them, but you’ll also be getting more sugar, so it may take less dried fruit to make a serving than if it were fresh. Tips for eating more: Dried fruits are best eaten in the spring, and the best fruit for estrogen are apricots, dates, and prunes.2. Flaxseed Flaxseeds are the number one way to help get more estrogen into the body, and you can either eat them directly or add them to other foods, just be sure to add them to your diet if estrogen is a concern. Flaxseeds are high in fiber, and will therefore help you feel full during and after a meal, and help a sluggish digestive system.

From infants to the elderly, irregular bowel movements interfere with health and vitality. The symptoms of constipation are obvious and include infrequent bowel movements, hard stools, and difficulty passing stools. The side effects of constipation commonly include abdominal discomfort, bloating, gas, bad breath, headaches, nausea, and fatigue. It’s no wonder laxative sales are big business. Conventional stimulant laxatives force your digestive tract into overdrive—which deprives your body of nutrients as food is rushed along.

How To Treat Constipation In Kids? Though over-the-counter medicines are easily available, it is not advisable to give them to your child, particular if he gets regularly constipated. Instead, you can give him/her a stool softener or a laxative, so that bowel movement becomes normal.

Hard water creates a soap scum that can be difficult to remove from sinks, tubs and appliances. Also called a water conditioner, an ion-exchange water softener uses sodium ions (salt) to remove these excess minerals from the water supply. Typical costs: Ion-exchange water softeners start around $400-$1,000 for a basic unit. Installation costs range from $100-$500 (depending on the type of equipment, ease of access and whether you need to add new piping and a suitable drain for the unit) for a total cost of $500-$1,500 for basic water softener in an average-size home. Units with the capacity for larger homes start around $1,000-$2,500 but with installation can go as high as $3,000-$10,000, depending on the options chosen. Ion-exchange water softeners need to be periodically recharged with fresh brine (salt water). Less expensive units have to be manually recharged or may operate on a clock-based timer; midrange models may include a water-flow meter that triggers recharging after a set amount of use; and deluxe versions may use probes in the tank to detect exactly when recharging is needed.

We all know what an ideal stool should look like, right? Not too hard, not too soft, just right. But some variation on that theme is normal and doesn’t necessarily mean you have to rush your pet in for a vet visit. Some cases of abnormal stools are absolutely an emergency; others just feel like one, especially if you’re the one tasked with cleaning the carpet. One of the more common questions we answer over the phone is Do I need to bring my pet in? It's always worth asking." }, { "docid": "D2460356#0", "title": "http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-tweed-yarn.htm\nWhat is Tweed Yarn?", "text": "\"Tweed yarn is a type of yarn that features contrasting flecks of color on a solid background. The flecks of color are often small pieces of short fiber leftover from carding spun together with plies of another fiber. Most kinds of tweed yarn are made with wool, and many varieties are known for their rough, scratchy texture, as well as their warmth and durability. Some tweed varieties are blended with softer luxury or synthetic fibers in order to lessen the scratchiness of the yarn. Tweed yarn is available in a wide range of yarn weights, or strand thicknesses, though lace weight tweed is not as common as worsted or aran weight tweed. Ad There are two common types of short fiber used to make the colorful flecks found in tweed yarn. The first is called a nep, a small nub of fiber that is usually removed from spinning fiber during the carding process to avoid creating slubs, or thick lumps, in a finished skein of spun yarn. Noils are coils of fiber that are also usually a byproduct of the carding process. Coils of silk called silk noil are sometimes mistakenly referred to as \"\"raw silk,\"\" and can be used for making yarn with a tweedy appearance due to naturally appearing flecks of color within the silk fiber. Although neps and noils are often discarded after carding, some fiber artists save and market them as a way for spinners to add textural interest to their hand spun yarns." }, { "docid": "D2866030#0", "title": "http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0218839/\nBest in Show ( 2000)", "text": "\"FULL CAST AND CREW | TRIVIA | USER REVIEWS | IMDb Pro | MORESHARE7.5/ 1049,335Rate This Best in Show ( 2000)PG-13 | 1h 30min | Comedy | 20 October 2000 (USA)2:12 | Trailer3 VIDEOS| 43 IMAGESWatch Now From $2.99 (SD) on Prime Video ON DISCA colorful array of characters compete at a national dog show.

In its most-prized form, lapis lazuli has no visible calcite, although it might contain gold-colored pyrite flecks. If the flecks are small and sprinkled attractively throughout the gem, their presence doesn’t necessarily lower lapis lazuli’s value. The lowest-quality lapis looks dull and green, the result of an excess of pyrite. Lapis with white calcite streaks is less valuable.

I am in the process of doing it myself but curious why you do not recommend that tanks under 12\"\" require gravel. I want to do this right but I am sure that my existing setup has gravel in place. Thank you for your time with my question. Jeff **** Less than 5% of residential softeners have gravel in them, and the only reason is to be \"\"different\"\", or in a few cases because the dealer added a cup or two of activated carbon ( waste of time, as too little carbon in the tank to do much for very long ) when \"\"building\"\" the system. The main problem I have with the use of Gravel ( that is Not needed ) in residential size tanks is the fact that once you have added the Media to the Tank, should you ever remove the Valve from the Tank, and the Pipe slides up an inch or two ( which is common ) you will NOT be able to put the Valve back on the tank, until you have dumped everything out, put the pipe back on the bottom of the tank, and added the \"\"media\"\" back in. Having run into this problem a time of two, and the fact that 95% of the units do not have gravel in them is why I recommend that you do not add gravel when replacing the Resin in your water softener. If you want to add it, it should not \"\"hurt\"\" anything, but since your flow rates in a house peak around 8 gpm, it's a waste of time, money, and \"\"space\"\" in the tank ( the empty space is for \"\"expansion during the back wash cycle ) to add gravel to the residential size unit. Resin is fairly uniform in size, and the slots of the bottom distributor are sized to prevent the normal resin bead from getting through these slots. The resins will only get through if the resin beads have begun to \"\"break down\"\" due to years of exposure to highly chlorinated city water ( at which time pressure will drop as the slots begin to get \"\"clogged\"\" and you would \"\"know\"\" it's time to replace the Resin in the tank, in order to restore normal flow rate through the tank )." }, { "docid": "D1046746#0", "title": "http://www.mlive.com/broncos/index.ssf/2014/12/wmu_football_coach_pj_fleck_be.html\nWMU football coach P.J.

Many people like to save money on cars by buying used instead of new. Buying a used car often allows you to get options you want at a much lower price. To save even more money, you might look at a fleet car, which can sell at a discount to a similar used car. But fleet cars come with some distinct risks. Definition of Fleet Vehicles Companies and government agencies that need large fleets of cars and trucks buy or lease them in bulk to get lower prices. Common uses of fleet vehicles include rental cars, police cars, taxis, delivery vans and trucks, and cars for corporate salespeople. High Miles One of the risks of fleet vehicles is high mileage. Because they are driven for business purposes, vehicles that come from a fleet may have much higher mileage than other used cars from the same model year.

In the real world, however, only a few of us are able to save up enough cash to pay for a car in full. The rest of us have to finance. The problem with starting your car financing at the dealership is that you don't know whether the loan you're being offered is the best financing you can get. It can also complicate the negotiations and limit where you can shop to get the best price. A better way is to get preapproved for your car loan.

During our casual conversation, he talked about his salary and incentive and I was completely blown away when he said that a sales representative earns somewhere around 50-70k per month as incentives if he/she meets the target and also can earn 2-3k daily by cheating customers. Though it doesn't sound possible as customer would not be ready to pay even a single rupee of what is the on road price of the car, so where would these guys earn those extra bucks from? When I asked more about it, he said that they ask customers to pay extra if customer wants earlier delivery of the car, any particular number for the car bla bla. He was also looking to change his job. He currently works in Maruti and is trying for VW Dealership and he said that at VW Dealership, one can earn 4000 as an incentive per car. So here is the question to you all of you- How much is the average salary of sales representative in various car dealerships, be it Honda, Maruti, Fiat, VW etc and their incentives. Also can they make extra money by cheating customers?

Instead, they wear unevenly. This uneven wear is caused by the brake pads themselves as they intermittently touch an out-of-true rotor. The root cause of the uneven wear is one of two things: either the rotor was installed out-of-true with the hub, or the tire was improperly torqued to the hub during the last tire change. All of this is important for fleet managers because their vehicles have the tires removed frequently and the pads and rotors replaced frequently. You won’t solve a problem caused by wear if you treat it as a problem caused by heat. Instead, fix the rotor installation or wheel lug nut torquing. The problem of pedal vibration, incorrectly called rotor warp, occurs 3,000 to 5,000 miles after the brake or tire change. Because it is caused by uneven rotor wear, not the rotor warping like a potato chip from heat, you can’t solve this wear problem by better control of the heat, i.e., by the use of specially processed rotors or drilled and slotted rotors. Instead, you solve the wear problem by fixing the shortcuts in rotor installation or the improper lug nut tightening." }, { "docid": "D1648038#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061110213010AAET11j\n\"What does \"\"manufacturer buyback\"\" mean on a vehicle?\"", "text": "\"Cars & Transportation Buying & Selling What does \"\"manufacturer buyback\"\" mean on a vehicle?

One reason is that Runzheimer has a rival, which means two competitive sales forces are aggressively selling vehicle reimbursement programs. Founded in 2004 by former Runzheimer employees, Corporate Reimbursement Services (CRS) sells a customizable vehicle reimbursement program, which calculates geographic cost variances to determine reimbursement rates for business use of personal vehicles. The program is very similar to Runzheimer. Also, the recession, corporate downsizing, funding/credit constraints, OEM viability, and economic uncertainty have renewed senior management's desire to re-examine reimbursement. Runzheimer and CRS are targeting these senior managers and selling reimbursement as an economic benefit. But is it? First, the math doesn't support this contention. According to Greg Corrigan of PHH Arval, the average managed sales fleet operates at 25-29 cents per mile, while some fleet managers say a Runzheimer/CRS-style reimbursement program costs an average 40 cents per mile.

As a result of test manipulation, millions of vehicles on roads in the UK and around the world are operating without properly certified on-road emissions controls. Clarification must be sought as to what will be done to address this problem to minimise the health harm to us all. VW must devise a solution that achieves the NOx standard correctly and minimises CO 2 emissions and clearly show that it works in order to restore trust in the vehicle industry and in government oversight. EPUK demands a mandatory recall of all vehicles installed with ‘defeat device’ software and that VW devise a solution that achieves the NOx standard correctly and minimises CO2emissions. EPUK seeks a statement from the European Commission and the UK Department for Transport that software analysis will form part of the revised testing procedure and clarification on how they will ensure that test manipulation will not be possible and/or tolerated. EPUK recommended that, to achieve this, in addition to the type approval testing, spot-checks of ‘in-use’ vehicle emissions will be required. EPUK consider that there must be an independent investigation of all motor vehicle manufacturers to identify the extent of the use of ‘defeat device’ technology and whether the EU emission tests were subject to the same falsification as in the US, or were simply too lenient. EPUK calls for a joined-up policy approach across government departments, which clearly recognises and actively communicates the public health AND climate change implications of diesel (and petrol) to enable consumers to make a rational and informed decision regarding fuel-type and, indeed, mobility choice.

In such a dynamic context, quick intuitions can be very misleading and misconceptions about the technology, its impact, and the nature of the innovation process abound. In the following we address some of the most widely held misconceptions about autonomous vehicles: Top misconceptions Driver assistance systems will evolve gradually into fully autonomous cars The first models of fully autonomous cars will be targeted to the consumer and will be available for purchase It will take decades until most of the vehicles on the road are capable of autonomous driving Self-driving cars are controlled by classical computer algorithms (if-then rules)Public demonstrations of self-driving cars provide an indication of their capabilities Self-driving cars need to make the right ethical judgements To convince us that they are safe, self-driving cars must drive hundreds of millions of miles Self-driving cars will increase congestion in cities This list of misconceptions can be used to :enlarge your knowledge about the underlying forces and paths that will shape the future of autonomous vehicles, and toassess the expertise of authors and experts who are making statements about self-driving cars. You will find that many widely repeated statements about autonomous vehicles can be attributed to very narrow perspectives on self-driving cars and a lack of understanding for the nature of the global, distributed innovation process which drives this technology forward. Note that this article focuses on fully autonomous vehicle technology, i.e. vehicles that can drive themselves without human intervention, even empty, without any human in the car. Misconception 1: Driver assistance systems will evolve gradually into fully autonomous cars This is an extremely attractive misconception that you will find repeated over and over. At first glance, it seems to be very logical and rooted in history: If we look at the past 10 years as well as the present we find that each new car model comes equipped with more computational power, more electronic safety and assistance features – from auto-parking, lane warning, intelligent cruise control, to emergency braking etc. Isn’t it natural to extrapolate this trend into the future? But this evolution contains one obvious discontinuity: All of the driver assistance systems which are in use today operate only for short times and in extremely limited settings. Auto-parking operates for a few seconds with the driver watching." } ]

Decorative ornaments that resemble the fleur-de-lis have appeared in the artwork from the earliest civilizations. \"\" The use for ornamental or symbolic purposes of the stylised flower usually called fleur de lis is common to all eras and all civilizations. It is an essentially graphic theme found on Mesopotamian cylinders, Egyptian bas-reliefs, Mycenean potteries, Sassanid textiles, Gaulish coins, Mameluk coins, Indonesian clothes, Japanese emblems and Dogon totems. The many writers who have discussed the topic agree that it has little to do graphically with the lily, but disagree on whether it derives from the iris, the broom, the lotus or the furze, or whether it represents a trident, an arrowhead, a double axe, or even a dove or a pigeon. It is in our opinion a problem of little importance. The essential point is that it is a very stylised figure, probably a flower, that has been used as an ornament or an emblem by almost all civilizations of the old and new worlds.\"\" It has consistently been used as a royal emblem, though different cultures have interpreted its meaning in varying ways.

It's featured on the city's flag, and is pretty ubiquitously present all over the city as a decorative motif. How it came to symbolize New Orleans is a more complicated story. The lily flower is an ancient symbol of purity that was appropriated by the Catholic Church in early Christian France as a symbol of the Virgin Mary. The symbol was later adopted by many European noble families, most notably the French monarchy, to establish an association with the Church. The fleur-de-lis became part of the official heraldry of the ruling families of France, including the extremely powerful and influential Bourbon family, whose representative symbols always feature this arrangement: Look familiar? The city of La Nouvelle-Orléans was founded in 1718 and named for Philippe II, Duke of Orléans, a member of the Bourbon family who was ruling as the Regent of France at the time (King Louis XV was a young child). The fleur-de-lis has been associated with New Orleans ever since. Nowadays, it is used by many as a symbol of local pride, obliquely referencing New Orleans' unique history and culture among American cities. Because of the great sense of local pride it evokes, it has been adopted by nearly all of the local sports teams in and around New Orleans (as well as numerous other institutions) as a graphic symbol.10.2k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private." }, { "docid": "D1131804#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomerol_AOC\nPomerol AOC", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Château Pétrus from the Pomerol wine region.

[ 2] [3]The region was recognized as a distinct wine region apart from Saint-Émilion and the greater Libournais region by the French government in 1923 and was granted AOC status in 1936 as part of the first wave of AOC establishments by the Institut national de l'origine et de la qualité (INAO). [ 1] While it is now one of the most prestigious of the Bordeaux AOCs, this situation is relatively recent, dating to the second half of the twentieth century, which is often given as one of the reasons why Pomerol is not included in any of the Bordeaux classifications.

Joint venture partners will work under the Sonora Lithium Project in Northern Mexico to supply Tesla with lithium hydroxide. Due to the large scale of the Gigafactory (lithium-ion cell production 35 GWh annually), Tesla needs a lot of raw materials and now is in the process of establishing a supply chain. An interesting article from business stand point was recently published by Learn Bonds.com, in which the whole project of the Gigafactory is described as risky.

It is really that royally simple. The fleur-de-lis or fleur-de-lys in French literally means \"\" lily flower \"\" (fleur means flower, and lis means lily or iris ). However, let me state that when you see this symbol emblazoned today on various flags or engraved on royal crowns, the fleur-de-lis does not represent the lily flower, but the Trinity of the Brotherhood. For it is and emblem of a blood line of divine majesty and the symbol of a particular royal Brotherhood that had originated long before the foundation of Rome, or the founding royal houses of France. The fleur-de-lis is modeled after the lotus in Egypt that was associated with the psychotropic Nile Lily. The Nile is where this same brotherhood had originated. Therefor it is only fitting that they would choose an ancient Egyptian symbol for \"\"plant\"\" meaning \"\"Tree of Life\"\" that was three sacred lotus lilies as their symbol.

The Royal Factory, which no longer exists, came to being when King Charles VII of Naples married Maria Amalia. She was the granddaughter of Augustus II, who in addition to being the King of Poland, also founded the first European hard paste porcelain factory in Meissen, Germany. This area in Germany is known for making some of the finest porcelain in the world. King Charles developed a curiosity surrounding porcelain through his new wife’s family.

Do we need it?", "text": "\"Neck flexing and other stretching exercises. Do we need it? Decent riding horses accept the bit by relaxing the jaw and not by yielding to it in the neck and head. That is why in riding we are talking about a supple jaw. The jaw gives, not the neck or the head, because if the neck or head gives in, the horse is off balance due to it. When the jaw gives the horse flexes at the poll. Please remember through out reading this article that the head and neck serve the horse primarily for balance, and the more you interfere with it via the reins the more you will offset the horse's balance and his natural (inbred) movement. When riders in the past emphasized a supple neck it was because when the horse is not supple in the jaw the neck gets stiff from the inappropriate response to the bit when yielding in the neck thus stiffing up the neck muscles from the prolonged flexing. This is why the incompetent riders find the necessity for the rollkur and other stretching exercises, because due to their poor hands the horse responds to the bit incorrectly and stiffens up its jaw and eventually its neck due to all that flexing. In addition to this, they often speak of letting the horse to stretch his neck with its head lowered." }, { "docid": "D692337#0", "title": "http://spaceninja.com/2015/08/24/what-is-flexbox/\nWhat IS Flexbox?", "text": "\"24 August 2015 / css What IS Flexbox?

If you watch their promo you will no doubt think of things around your own home that need fixing, and would wonder if this does the trick. Overview Because things are either too hard for us to fix on our own, or too expensive to have someone else fix for us, they get left undone. This can lead to further problems, especially if something is leaking water and causing water damage. A quick solution to this problem would be great, and so something that sprays on and fixes the problem permanently would be very welcome. The Claim Flex Seal is liquid rubber in a can. This means that when you spray it onto a surface, it will make it waterproof, but also remain flexible, like rubber. There are tons of jobs that it can do, from repairing holes in things that are supposed to be waterproof, to cracks and leaks in all sorts of things from tents to gutters. They say that when you make a repair with Flex Seal that it will last a lifetime.

Where is it? If you’ve ever flexed your biceps, then you’ve performed a movement with the biceps brachii. It is that big muscle on your arm that Arnold Schwarzenegger is always flexing in his movies. But there’s no need for an Arnold Schwarzenegger workout today in order to learn what’s going on with this ultimate mirror muscle. What does the biceps brachii do?" }, { "docid": "D2215706#0", "title": "https://www.cpap.com/cpap-faq/BiPAP-Machine.html\nSearch Frequently Asked Questions", "text": "\"Search Frequently Asked Questions Search...

The Pay Flex Card can only be used to pay for eligible health care expenses incurred from January 1 through March 15 of the following year.

The answer, of course, is \"\"yes, but...\"\". It's a good idea for you to do a search before you adopt a mark. Chances are, your first choice or two will be taken, so a little investment in your time now will save you a lot of time and money later on. There's no point in paying us to file an application to register a trademark if it's already registered and you could have found it in a few minutes work, and if you can knock out all the \"\"easy\"\" ones, you will get much more value from a professional search later on. There's more than a little art to searching, not to mention years of experience, so don't feel too bad at missing something a professional might find. Once you've done the preliminary search and are comfortable with your findings, we still recommend that you have us do a full trademark search on the mark you have finally settled on (assuming, as is most often the case, that you will have knocked out half a dozen or more unavailable marks).1. Bring up the USPTO Trademark Search System Start your trademark search on the US Patent and Trademark Office's \"\"TESS\"\" (Trademark Electronic Search System) database. Start at the USPTO Trademarks homepage and click on \"\"TESS - Search Trademarks \"\" - that's the first icon in the \"\"Tools\"\" section. We can't give you a direct link to TESS from here, because of the design of the USPTO website - if we tried to link directly to the search page you'd get a message that your session had timed out and you'd have to go through the main page anyway." } ]
