If you’re thinking about getting into welding, you have to ask yourself what type of welding you are interested in doing before you buy any equipment. Most welding machines are capable of making most joints in metal, but they are all better at some jobs than others. By far the most universal welder is a MIG. You can use a MIG welder to weld thin gauge sheet metal or heavy steel pipe....
The acronym “MOI” stands for “moment of inertia,” and in golf MOI is a measurement of a club’s resistance to twisting. The term is usually applied to clubheads, but can also be applied to golf balls and even shafts. In layman’s terms, a higher-MOI golf club will be more forgiving than a lower-MOI club. Why? It’s that resistance to twisting. Think of a driver impact in which the golf ball is struck off the toe of the driver....
Before you write a single word of fiction, you will need to decide who is telling the story — and from which point of view. If the story is told by a narrator (rather than by a character), you will be writing from the third person perspective. But who is the narrator? How much does the narrator know? Can the narrator get inside the characters’ heads to describe what they’re thinking?...
Everyone likes seeing Spider-Man face down interdimensional threats, man-eating reptiles and crazed octopus-people, but the thing which makes Marvel’s premiere hero such a hit? The fact that he’s a relatable, down-to-earth, regular guy. Apart from all the aforementioned superheroics. In that light, perhaps it’s not surprising one of his most popular comic book appearances features none of the above, but simply a visit to a young fan. The Cold Open...

01 of 09 1890s to 1920s Lon Chaney and Mary Philbin in “The Phantom of the Opera.”. It didn’t take long after the advent of motion picture technology in the late 19th century for filmmakers to dabble in the horror genre, as witnessed by French director Georges Melies’ 1896 short “The House of the Devil,” often credited as being the first horror movie. Although America was home to the first Frankenstein and Jekyll and Hyde movie adaptations, the most influential horror films through the 1920s came from Germany’s expressionist movement, with films like “The Cabinet of Dr....

Definition: Capitalization rate defines the percentage number used to determine the current value of a property based on estimated future operating income. In other words, taking the net operating income from an apartment complex and dividing it by the capitalization rate would yield the approximate current value of the complex. The capitalization rate would be determined based on an appraisal and/or the cap rates of similar properties that have sold recently....
The Peoria System is a sort of 1-day handicapping system for golf tournaments where most of the golfers do not have real handicap indexes (company outings and charity events, for example). Without handicaps, such tournaments can only use gross scores to determine how golfers place. But gross scores - the actual number of strokes taken - obviously, and hugely, favor better golfers. The Peoria System is a way to handicap the unhandicapped - to calculate a “handicap allowance” based on just-completed play in order to produce net scores for golfers participating....
If you’re still a little confused about what the third person writing looks like in fiction, study these classic examples and examine how each author handles point of view. Examples of Third Person Writing From Classic Fiction Jane Austen’s clear prose provides a perfect sample of the third person. Though Pride and Prejudice are very much Elizabeth Bennet’s story, the narrator is not Elizabeth Bennet. “I” or “we” would only occur within quotations:...
In much of the financial services industry, with the proliferation of vice presidents, variations on this job title have been created to denote higher-ranking Vice Presidents. Job titles and the conventions that surround them can vary widely between firms, especially in the security and banking industries. In fact, some firms may not offer a First Vice President title at all. But traditionally, First Vice President — also called a First VP or FVP — is one of these, typically seen in brokerage, securities, and investment banking firms....
A carburetor, or “carb,” is an extremely reliable and simple machine, and to this day it functions just as it did when originally built in 1888 by Karl Benz, inventor of the first automobile. All intake air passes through the barrels of one or more carburetors. As the air passes through the venturi, it speeds up, creating a low-pressure zone. Fuel is pulled into this low-pressure zone and distributed to the cylinders for combustion....
Chaplains have been present throughout military history to support the emotional and spiritual well-being of the troops. Even in the 21st century, all of the service branches recognize that beyond just beans, bullets, and band-aids, servicemembers and their families require sustenance of a less tangible nature, regardless of their specific religious beliefs. That’s why chaplains are still around in all of the service branches (except the Marine Corps, which is served by Navy chaplains....
The intent of a bowling handicap is to make leagues fair and competitive for everyone, from an absolute beginner to an expert. With a handicap, a less-talented bowler who achieves her or his average will defeat a better bowler who comes in under her or his own average. Granted, top bowlers typically form their own leagues, often without handicaps, but in the event that a highly talented bowler wants to join a league with less-talented friends, handicaps can come in handy....
Jeans were originally designed as rough and tumble work clothing for cowboys and coal miners. Flash forward to today, and jeans can be among the most fashionable — and expensive — items in a woman’s wardrobe. Treating jeans with loving care is essential to keeping them looking good and lasting as long as possible. Whenever jeans go through the washing machine or dryer, they are necessarily exposed to agitation and temperatures that can alter their color and degrade the denim fabric....
The Cristiano Ronaldo step-over skill is one of the reasons he became the most expensive player in soccer history after making a US$131 move from Manchester United to Real Madrid in July 2009. It is part of a vast repertoire of tricks at his disposal. The Portuguese international uses the step over as a way to take the ball around opponents without simply outrunning them. It is a clever way to beat an opponent while keeping the ball closely controlled....
