Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Implied warranty - Fitness for a particular purpose

An implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose, sometimes referred to simply as a warranty of fitness, is a warranty implied by law that if a seller knows or has reason to know of a particular purpose for which some item is being purchased by the buyer, the seller is guaranteeing that the item is fit for that particular purpose. This differs from a warranty of merchantability in two ways: First, the warranty of fitness applies to all sellers, not just professional merchants; and Seco ...

Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Rulemaking - Purposes

At first blush, executive agency rulemaking appears to be an oxymoron. Executive agencies are usually charged with executing, not making, the rules. Given the scope of modern regulation, however, legislatures frequently find areas where it is impractical for lawmakers to apply the level of detail or expertise required to establish complete standards. These they delgate to agencies for follow-on rulemaking. Common purposes of rulemaking include: Adding scientific expertise. For example, in the U.S., the Federal Food ...

Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Ocean colonization - Purposes

The immediate practical advantage of this idea would be to lessen the effects of overpopulation by expanding the available living space many times over, and the possibility of forming micronations. Such settlements or cities could be powered by geothermal vents, or tidal energy, nuclear plants, or deep-sea oil deposits. With the likelihood of liquid water beneath the icy surface of Europa and perhaps other outer planet moons, these h ...

Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Flying change - The Purpose of the Flying Change

A horse is better balanced when he is on the correct lead of the canter, meaning the last leg to touch the ground is his inside fore. If he is on the wrong lead, he will have a much harder time making turns. In jumping, the flying change is essential, as a horse on the incorrect lead may become unbalanced on the turn, and then have an unbalanced take-off and may hit a rail. It is also possible ...

Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Cert pool - Purpose and operation

Each year, the Supreme Court recieves approximately 7500 petitions for certiorari. [1] The Court will ultimately grant approximately 80-150 of these petitions, [2] out of those which at least four Justices vote to hear.

Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Hobby - Purposes

Hobbies are practised for interest and enjoyment, rather than financial reward. Examples include collecting, making, tinkering, sports and adult education. Engaging in a hobby can lead to acquiring substantial skill, knowledge, and experience. However, personal fulfillment is the aim. What are hobbies for some people are professions for others: a game tester may enjoy cooking as a hobby, while a professional chef might enjoy playing (and helping to debug) computer games. Generally speaking, the person who does something for fun, not remuneration, is called an amateur (or hobbyist) ...

Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Supercomputer - Special-purpose supercomputers

Special-purpose supercomputers are high-performance computing devices with a hardware architecture dedicated to a single problem. This allows the use of specially programmed FPGA chips or even custom VLSI chips, allowing higher price/performance ratios by sacrificing generality. They are used for applications such as astrophysics computation and brute-force codebreaking. Examples of special-purpose supercomputers: Deep Blue, for playing chess Reconfigurable computing machines or parts of machines GRAPE, for astr ...

Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Craigavon - Purpose of the development

Originally, Craigavon was planned as a 'new city' on a par with the new towns that were being built in England in the 1960s. The plan was to build a large development between the neighbouring towns of Lurgan and Portadown and thus create a large urban/suburban connurbation. It was hoped that this would encourage people to move out of the crowded streets of Belfast which was attracting the large majority of development in the region. Craigavon was intended to ensure a more even distribution of development across Northern Ireland. Residents in ...

Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Story arc - Dramatic structure and purpose

The purpose of a story arc is to move a character or a situation from one state to another — in other words, to effect a change. This change or transformation often takes the form of either Aristotle's tragic fall from grace or a reversal of that pattern. One common form in which this reversal is found is a character going from a situation of weakness to one of strength. For example, a poor man goes on adventures and in the end makes a fortu ...

Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Political argument - Purpose of political argument

The purpose of argument is usually to sway belief. Political argument can occur in the context of political theory; for instance Machiavelli's The Prince can be regarded as advice to rulers based on various kinds of arguments. Political argument though is not generally a purely intellectual activity, since it may also serve the strategic goal of promoting a political agenda. One usually thinks of political argument as exclusive to democracies, but in fact some kinds of political argument may occur in undemocratic regimes as well, for example ...

Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Silbury Hill - The purpose of Silbury

Moses B. Cotworth stated at the beginning of the 20th century that Silbury was a giant sundial to determine seasons and the true length of the year. More recently, the writer Michael Dames has identified Silbury Hill as the winter goddess, but he finally acknowledges that the monument remains a stupendous enigma. The exact purpose of the hill is unknown. According to legend, this is the last resting place of King Sil, sitting on a fabled golden horse. Another legend states that the mound holds a lifesize solid gold statue of King Sil ...

Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Castle - Purpose of Castles

Castles were built not only as a defensive measure, and offensive weapon, but also as a home. Castles were made by their owners for specific purposes, or evolved into new purposes over time: First and foremost castles were places of protection from an invading enemy, a place of retreat. This can be seen by many of the typical features of European castles - e.g. portcullises, battlements and drawbridges. Secondly castles were offensive weapons, built in otherwise hostile territories from which to control surrounding land ...

Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Data haven - Purposes of data havens

While it has been claimed by some advocates of data havens that they should not be used to facilitate spam, terrorism or child pornography, others seek data havens for these very purposes. Among the more noble reasons for establishing data havens is access to free (political) speech for users in countries where censorship of the Internet is practiced. These countries include People's Republic of China, Singapore, Germany and Saudi Arabia. Other reasons include: whistleblowing software or speech that violat ...

Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Crop rotation - Method and Purpose

Crop rotation is widely practiced in vegetable production, where it is possible to grow a cool-season crop (such as lettuce) in the spring, follow with a warm-season crop (such as tomatoes) in the summer, and then grow a winter crop (such as mache) harvested in early spring. Crop rotation is less common with field crops because the timing is difficult to manage, particularly since most crop-growing regions experience a good deal of rainfall during the late spring ...

Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Germania book - Purpose and uses

Ethnography had a long and distinguished heritage in classical literature, and the Germania fits squarely within the tradition established by authors from Herodotus to Julius Caesar. Tacitus himself had already written a similar—albeit shorter—essay on the lands and tribes of Britannia in his Agricola (chapters 10–13). The Germania begins with a description of the lands, laws, and customs of the Germans (chapters 1–27); it then segues into descriptions of individual tribes, beginning with those dwelling cl ...

Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Plan Dalet - Purpose of Plan Dalet

The introduction states: a) "The objective of this plan is to gain control of the areas of the Hebrew state and defend its borders. It also aims at gaining control of the areas of Jewish settlements and concentration which are located outside the borders (of the Hebrew state) against regular, semi-regular, and small forces operating from bases outside or inside the state. This passage has, by the Palestinian side, been interpreted to mean that Plan Dalet was not really of defensive nature, and that the founders of the Jewish state intended to disregard the 1947 UN Partition plan and s ...

Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Headgear - Purpose of headgear

Headgear - Protection or defense. The most common use of headgear is as protection for the head and eyes. A baseball cap is used by sports players to keep the sun out of their eyes, and by some chefs to keep the hair out of their food. Traditionally, silk chef's hats are used for this purpose. A rain hat has a wide rim to keep the rain out of the wearer's face. Some traditional types of hat such as the Mexican sombrero also serve this purpose. There are also the full range of helmets. There are also hats that are worn for protection from the cold. These include many var ...

Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Leaning Tower of Nevyansk - The purpose of the tower

During the Soviet times, Nevyansk was a closed city, which prevented archaeologists from properly studying the tower. They have lifted the veil of secrecy only in the early 2000s. Historians are still debating about the exact purpose of the Nevyansk Tower. Some say that Demidov used it as a "bank safe", others believe it was either a watchtower, or a belltower, or a prison, or even a laboratory for conducting chemical experiments and producing counterfeit money. Some historians think that the tower was supposed to embody the might of the Demidov fami ...

Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Leaning Tower of Nevyansk - The purpose of inclination

One of the legends has it that the inclination of the tower was an idea of some talented architect. They say that the tower was purposely inclined to face southwest in the direction of Tula, Demidov’s birthplace. Supposedly, this is how Akinfiy wanted to demonstrate his affection for his former home. Another legend claims that right after the end of the construction of the edifice Akinfiy Demidov and the architect went on top of the tower. There, Demidov asked him whether he could build anything better than the Nevyansk Tower. The architec ...

Purpose: Encyclopedia II - Castle - Purpose of castles

Castles were built not only as a defensive measure from hostile enemies, but as an offensive weapon. This article in general discusses castles as a defensive fortress, while this section examines the role of castles as an offensive weapon during the middle ages. During the Middle Ages, in particular the High Middle Ages (the height of castle building in Europe), lords and kings often built castles for offensive reasons: territorial expansion and control of a region. A castle was a stronghold from which a lord or baron could control su ...
