The food environment alters how dietary choices are made and how we produce, access, prepare, and consume food as a society... Taste, health, social status, cost, and resources are all influencers of what foods are chosen to eat, but culture and tradition are also key factors... Events also influence production and consumption : social events and gatherings, holiday traditions, special occasions, and religious or ritual observances that call for special foods... For some, food choice can be deeply personal and often hinge on our ideals, sense of identity, and habits...

An enforceable option to purchase land confers on the grantee, Y, a right to call for a conveyance of the land from the grantor, X, provided that Y complies with all the terms of the option. Where X and Y are strangers between whom no other legal relationship exists, the option is commonly termed an option in gross.... An option may also be conferred on a tenant to purchase the freehold reversion. An option contained in a lease differs from an option in gross only in the respects that the grantor and the grantee stand in the relationship of landlord and tenant, and that the contract creating it is made part of the terms on which the lease is granted....(Barnsley, "Land Options", p. 2)

When Voinea drilled a passing shot near his body, Becker took a few menacing steps toward him.

CONT

Short points are usually going to be the essence in doubles where twice the number of players crowd the court, making rallies less likely and attempts at passes more likely to be foiled.

OBS

Not to be confused with "passing shot winner". A "passing shot" is a shot that a defensive player is forced to make in order to place the ball behind the opposing net player. Such a shot may or may not go over the net or may or may not land within the opposing court. Successful of not, the attempt is called a "passing shot". And only if it is successful, does one call it a "passing shot winner". Related term : placement(generic term for any type of shot that is hit to an open area of the court; usually refers to shots made without much pass). Related term : buggywhip shot.

OBS

The "passing shot" is also called a "pass shot".

OBS

Coup qui peut être effectué le long de la ligne ou croisé. «Passing-shot» : terme utilisé en France. Terme connexe : coup gagnant. En français le terme générique «coup de débordement» peut avoir deux équivalents anglais, selon le contexte : 1) passing shot 2) forcing shot. À la différence du terme «forcing shot» que l'on peut utiliser dans n'importe quelle situation lors d'un match, il faut que son adversaire soit installé au filet avant qu'on puisse qualifier son coup de «passing shot». Termes connexes (moins précis) : tir imparable, coup hors de portée.

The perpetual inventory records(of course, he did not call them that) were to be kept in a sort of warehouse ledger which was in turn divided into three parts. The first part showed an account for the wool purchased from different individuals, the account being debited for acquisitions and credited for wool put into process by both grades and quantities(in pounds). The balance was the wool unprocessed. The second part of the warehouse ledger was a manufactory record or account, in which the wool carried to manufacturing was recorded on the debit side, while the credits showed the finished product, which was in turn transferred to what we call now a finished goods ledger. The finished goods ledger made up the third part of the warehouse ledger, and was debited for goods finished and credited for goods sold still in quantities only, the quantities, however, being pieces of cloth and not pounds as in the materials account.

  • Racquet Sports
DEF

Any stroke that for some reason is replayed without penalty. In an average game, only two types of let are encountered : 1) when called solely in respect of a service that one service only shall be replayed; 2) when called under any other circumstance, the point shall be replayed. For instance, a serve that nicks the top of the net, then bounces in the proper service court is to be replayed. By extension, also a call made by the umpire or by one of the players to indicate that a point should be replayed because of a stray ball rolling across the court. Sometimes the term "let" is mistakenly referred to as a "net serve". A "let" is also played if, for instance, the receiver of a service is not ready to start; if one player involuntarily hinders his opponent; or if a player is hindered in playing by an external agency.

CONT

Service lets. If, during t he serving process a let is called because the ball served touched the top of the net and fell in the service area, that serve, and that serve only is taken over again.

OBS

Caution: If the ball touches the net on a service, the net judge will call "net", or sometimes "filet"(French Open). The umpire, however, will call "let", since "let" is the official call he must make. This distinction is not always upheld in social play, where informally one hears the following expressions: "two", "take two", or "play two", i.e. take two serves since the first one touched the net (and landed in), "play one", "take one", "second serve", i.e. first serve touched the net and landed out. Moreover, for precision, the term "let" is sometimes qualified: service let.

The idea of an exacta wheel is that when you have one horse to bet in an exacta, you "wheel" him on top of all the other to be 2nd. Exacta wheel wagers may be made in $1 increments. Let's call a wheel bet, with our horse being n° 7. You say :"$2 exacta wheel, n° 7 with all. "

Caution: If the ball touches the net on a service, the net judge will call "net", or sometimes "fillet" (French Open). The umpire, however, will call "let", since "let" is the official call he must make. This distinction is not always upheld in social play, where informally one hears the following expressions: "two", "take two", or "play two", i.e. take two serves since the first one touched the net (and landed in), "play one", "take one", "second serve", i.e. first serve touched the net and landed out.

Replacing a tap washer. Given that up to 50% of an electricity bill may be attributable to water heating, it is important to ensure that your hot water taps don’t drip... A leaky tap usually occurs because the internal seal is worn out. Each time you turn the tap off, the soft flexible washer, which is made from rubber or a synthetic substitute, presses against the metal washer seat, wearing a tiny part of itself away. Eventually it becomes thin and irregular in shape. This allows water to seep past and creates the annoying drip. If you don’t replace it but continue to screw the tap down tighter and tighter, eventually you will get metal forcing you to call in a plumber to regrid the washer seating. That can be an expensive business!

The particular set of complex numbers Mandelbrot explored in this plane has since come to be named the "Mandelbrot set" and dubbed "the most complex object in mathematics. "Mandelbrot remains enthusiastic about what he found. "This set is an astonishing combination of utter simplicity and mind-boggling complication. At first sight it is a ’molecule’ made of bonded ’atoms’, one shape like a cardioid and the other nearly circular. But a closer look discloses an infinity of smaller molecules shaped like the big one, and linked by what I proposed to call a ’devil' s polymer’. "

Consortium insurance is not a new program at Export and Development Corporation. Known previously as the Cross Consortium Insurance Program, the policy has been available, but largely unused, since 1978. In a round of consultations undertaken in early 1985, exporters revealed why they had not made use of the policy. Basically, they felt that EDC' s preoccupation with a consortium's recourseworthiness-or its ability to repay EDC in the event of a rightful call on a bond-meant that none but the strongest consortia had a chance to meet the criteria. In a major shift, EDC now places greater importance on the consortium's ability, as a whole, to perform the contract.

L'ancien programme était assorti d'une police qui existait depuis 1978, mais qui n'a guère été utilisée. Lors de consultations menées au début de 1985, les exportateurs ont révélé pourquoi ils ne se sont pas prévalus de cette police. De fait, ils croyaient que la SEE insistait tellement sur la possibilité d'exercer un recours contre le consortium en cas d'appel justifié d'une caution, que seuls les consortiums les plus solides répondraient aux critères d'admissibilité de cette assurance. C'est pourquoi la SEE a nettement réorienté son programme et accorde maintenant plus d'importance à la capacité de l'ensemble du consortium d'exécuter le contrat.

Time frame given for payment to be made to assure or guarantee a confirmed reservation. Failure to get payment to the tour operator by the date given will usually result in automatic cancellation of the booking. It is a good practice to call the tour operator a day or two before the option date to ensure payment has been received by them. Options are given for deposits and final payments and are described in the "Booking" or "Reservation" terms and conditions at the back of the brochure.

Fischer, Brown, and Burton(1978; Burton, Brown, and Fischer, 1984) propose a paradigm for the design of optimal learning environments, which they call increasingly complex microworlds. The concept of microworlds created for educational purposes with the computer as a(universal simulator) is already the central theme of LOGO. Fischer et al. set out to formalize the notion of a succession of(microworlds) where the modifications at each step are meant to support learning. The idea is to start with a simplified world and to have a coach progressively add new dimensions of complexity that require an increasing mastery of basic skills. Fischer et al. present skiing instruction as a pedagogical success model that has made use of microworlds. Over the years, skiing instruction has become safer and surprisingly effective. According to the authors, the key to this success is the definition of progressive learning phases : instructors have combined technological advances with pedagogical cleverness to provide useful simplified versions of the skill.

Filaments, since they’re already virtually continuous in themselves, have simply to be gathered up and given a slight twist to make a yarn. Thus, with a very strong fibre, like nylon, we can have monofilament yarns-just the one fibre in the yarn. Sheer hosiery has been made this way, and what we call colour-blending sewing thread is a thicker monofilament, rather like a fine fishing line.

Smog and air pollution can change the climate; water pollution by sewage, industrial wastes, fertilizers and detergents, and even by the heat thrown off from nuclear and nonnuclear power plants, has made a waste land of our earthly inheritance. The "economic externalities and diseconomies" cannot be expected to be set aright by market competition and the pursuit of profit. They call for government zoning ordinances, fiats and prohibitions, planning and coordination, subsidies and penalties of taxation.
