Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS) are multi-component exterior wall systems which generally consist of: 1 an insulation board. 2 an adhesive and/or mechanical attachment of the insulation board to the substrate or existing wall surface. The most basic and common EIFS is called a barrier EIFS (also known as a traditional or conventional EIFS). Another type is called an EIFS with Drainage, which is a barrier EIFS to which a water drainage capability has been added.

98_1

Abstract: Exterior insulation and finishing systems (EIFS) are inherently defective and unfit of use as an exterior cladding system where moisture sensitive components are used without a provision for drainage or in locations and assemblies without adequate drying.

A historic brick building in Germany covered with EIFS on the right side. Exterior insulation and finishing system (EIFS) is a general class of non-load bearing building cladding systems that provides exterior walls with an insulated, water-resistant, finished surface in an integrated composite material system. EIFS before 2000 was a barrier system, meaning the EIFS system itself was the weather barrier. After 2000 the EIFS industry introduced the air/moisture barrier that resides behind the foam.

98_3

There are two types of EIFS systems, barrier and drainable. Barrier, the earlier type, typically applied the insulating polystyrene board directly to the exterior sheathing with adhesive, followed by base coat, mesh and finish coat. There is no provision to deal with moisture that can be trapped if the system leaks. The most basic and common EIFS is called a barrier EIFS (also known as a traditional or conventional EIFS). Another type is called an EIFS with Drainage, which is a barrier EIFS to which a water drainage capability has been added.

98_4

Fundamentals. All EIFS are proprietary systems and the components of the system should not be modified beyond the limits stated in the manufacturer's literature. The design of the interface with other components of the wall system is the responsibility of the wall designer. EIFS is available in two basic types: a barrier wall system or a wall drainage system. Barrier EIFS wall systems rely primarily on the base coat portion of the exterior skin to resist water penetration.

98_6

EIFS is an acronym that stands for “Exterior Insulation Finish Systems”, and is sometimes mistakenly referred to as “Stucco”. It is a multi-layer building cladding (exterior wall) that has the ability to reduce a home’s heating or cooling requirements.

Optimum EIFS. Optimum EIFS is premium classic EIF system. Like Standard EIFS, this system also offers the base level of benefits available in EIFS; energy efficiency, light weight, versatile design, and economical installation. Like Standard WaterMaster EIFS, this system offers the base level of benefits found in a classic EIF system and the superior moisture protection found in a base drainage system. However, Optimum WaterMaster LCR EIFS makes use of a premium base coat & adhesive as well as premium finish.

98_8

First, to make things complicated, there are two types of EIFS: PB systems and PM systems. Originally, the different systems were classified according to the composition of their respective finish or color coat. Regardless of the system, both EIFS and stucco depend on the proper installation of a secondary drainage plane behind the system components, flashings, terminations, and sealants to effectively manage water that invariably infiltrates the primary protection plane of the EIFS or stucco.

98_9

Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) is an exterior wall cladding that utilizes rigid insulation boards on the exterior of the wall sheathing with a plaster appearance exterior skin. EIFS is available in two basic types: a barrier wall system or a wall drainage system. Barrier EIFS wall systems rely primarily on the base coat portion of the exterior skin to resist water penetration.

By Laura K. Lawless. There are four French accents for vowels and one accent for a consonant. For specific information on what the accents do to change the pronunciation of the letters they modify, please see the appropriate letter pages. The accent aigu ´ (acute accent) can only be on an E. At the beginning of a word, it often indicates that an S used to follow that vowel, e.g., etudiant (étudiant). student

-------------------------------- An accent is the stress on a syllable or words spoken by a person of specific language. For example a person speaking 'semi' as 'say-my' and using word 'apartment' is considered using American accent. The Spanish word que (no accent) may mean either what or that, depending on context. When que is used as part of a noun clause, as in Eso es lo que voy a hacer (T … hat is what I'm going to do) it means what..

One is a 'foreign' accent; this occurs when a person speaks one language using some of the rules or sounds of another one. For example, if a person has trouble pronouncing some of the sounds of a second language they're learning, they may substitute similar sounds that occur in their first language.

Accent. In sociolinguistics, an accent is a manner of pronunciation peculiar to a particular individual, location, or nation. An accent may identify the locality in which its speakers reside, the socio-economic status of its speakers, their ethnicity, their caste or social class, their first language, and so on. Accents typically differ in quality of the voice, pronunciation and distinction of vowels and consonants, stress, and prosody.

The verb to accent means to accentuate or specifically enhance, or to stress a word syllable. The noun accent is similarly a stress or prominence (as in pronunciation or in music. It also refers to any of various marks or punctuation. In language, it is a set of pronunciations particular to a region or ethnic group.

In music, an accent is an emphasis placed on a particular note, either as a result of its context or specifically indicated by an accent mark. Accents contribute to the articulation and prosody of a performance of a musical phrase. Compared to surrounding notes: 1 A dynamic accent or stress accent is an emphasis using louder sound, typically most pronounced on the attack of the sound. 2 A tonic accent is an emphasis on notes by virtue of being higher in pitch as opposed to higher in volume.

An accent may be identified with the locality in which its speakers reside (a regional or geographical accent), the socio-economic status of its speakers, their ethnicity, their caste or social class (a social accent), or influence from their first language (a foreign accent). Accent serves as the first point of gate keeping because we are forbidden, by law and social custom, and perhaps by a prevailing sense of what is morally and ethically right, from using race, ethnicity, homeland or economics more directly. We have no such compunctions about language, however.

Bolar roast is a blade roast and has a tendency to be tough. You can cook it in many ways, but the way to make it tender is to slow cook it. This roast is great for pot roast or is also a very good roast for thin sliced beef for making sandwiches.

100_5

Bolar blade meat is a cut of beef taken from a cow’s shoulder, which contains strong muscles and can be tough. Therefore, satisfactory preparation of bolar blade meat requires slow cooking. Bolar blade meat can be cut into steaks, thin-sliced for roast beef sandwiches or chopped into strips for stir-fry dishes.

Martin Zaltz Austwick answered on 19 Mar 2012: Ah it depends on whether you mean custard in custard tarts. Because that’s more like a solid than a liquid! The proteins in the egg stick to one another and make a sort of lattice with water trapped inside. 😛. Actually, it’s a colloidal solution, which is solid particles suspended in a liquid. That’s why it can flow like a liquid and take the shape of it’s container, but if you put pressure on it, all the solid parts lock together and it starts behaving like a solid.

Technically, a custard is any liquid thickened by eggs, and in most cases that liquid is cream or milk. It’s a marriage made in heaven: The creaminess of the dairy is enhanced by the silky, emulsifying properties of egg yolks to create an irresistible texture.

Ovulation is also arrested in some women during the first 5-6 months of active breastfeeding, leading to a larger stock of follicles at around the age of 45 years. So, pregnancy and breastfeeding are likely to delay the onset of the age of menopause. For example, let us assume that a daughter and her mother started menstruating when both of them were 12 years old. Taking birth control pills which prevent ovulation will also delay menopause. Birth control pills contain hormones that can block the process of oocyte maturation and ovulation. This will again prevent decrease in the number of oocytes in the ovaries.

Menopause is the period in a woman's life when the ovaries stop releasing eggs and the uterus stops producing and expelling the lining that it makes monthly to support a fertilized egg. This means the end of monthly menstruation and a whole new slew of symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings and vaginal dryness. Menopause symptoms may come on slowly, although you have successfully delayed early onset menopause. Do not be ashamed of an occasional hot flash or mood swing. Realize that it is part of being a woman and you are simply entering a new phase of life with many benefits.

104_2

It should be noted that the average age for menopause is 51 and menopause can often last well into a woman’s 50s. Late-onset menopause refers only to the age at which menopause begins. Late menopause is not uncommon among obese women, since fat can produce estrogen. When a woman’s ovaries produce these hormones longer, osteoporosis and heart problems seem to also be delayed. Because of this, women with late-onset menopause actually tend to live longer.

104_3

Although the normal age of menopause can vary anywhere between 45 years to 55 years, the average age of menopause is 51 years. Surgical menopause, of course, can occur at any time the uterus is surgically removed. Taking birth control pills which prevent ovulation will also delay menopause. Birth control pills contain hormones that can block the process of oocyte maturation and ovulation. This will again prevent decrease in the number of oocytes in the ovaries.

Menopause is the point in time when a woman's menstrual periods stop. Menopause happens because the ovaries stop producing the hormones estrogen and progesterone. Once you have gone through menopause, you can't get pregnant anymore. Some people call the years leading up to a woman's last period menopause, but that time actually is the menopausal transition, or perimenopause (PER-ee-MEN-oh-pawz). During the time of the menopausal transition (perimenopause), your periods can stop for a while and then start again.

One group of women are at particular risk from late menopause. These ladies have cumulative risks started with an early start of menstruation, before age 12. They never had a full-term pregnancy despite repeated attempts to conceive using fertility medications, and then they went into menopause late.

It is the same hormonal imbalances in your body that cause late menopause; however, you may experience these changes late because of a genetic predisposition or because of environmental factors like excessive weight. However, all is not glorious in the garden of late blooming menopause.

The Initial Franchise Fee. The initial (or ‘upfront’) fee is paid by a new franchisee to the franchisor, and this is the one-off payment made to get into the franchise. Accordingly, it is usually called the franchise fee. Where the ongoing fee is a flat one, or where the fee is gathered by means of a mark-up on products supplied, skimming is less of a concern but even then it can happen. Where skimming becomes obvious, the franchisor has to take action for three reasons: 1 They need to protect the integrity of the franchise agreement.

Jordan Siemens/ Stone/ Getty images. Food Cost. Food cost refers to the menu price of a certain dish in comparison to the cost of the food used to prepare that same dish. In other words, how much you pay for food will determine how much you need to charge for it. Generally, food cost should be around 30-35%. This means that if you pay $1.00 for something, you need to charge minimum of $3.34. It may seem like you are charging a lot more than necessary, but keep in mind that you aren't just paying for the food itself.

[edit] Sociology. Rationalization in sociology refers to the favoring of efficiency through quantification and calculation in social transactions over, for example, tradition or custom. It is usually tied into bureaucracy and the process of bureaucratization. Rationalization is considered to be central to the concept of modernity. Rationalization in psychology is often understood to mean making excuses, or post hoc explanations, for some action. Lying could be considered a conscious form of rationalization. Rationalization may also occur at the unconscious level, commonly known as self-deception.

Rationalization is a process whereby thought and action rooted in emotion; superstition and respect for mysterious forces, and tradition are replaced by value-rational thought and action.

Rationalization is a term of art in both psychology and sociology, though the term is most popularly used in the psychological sense.

Unconventional oil is petroleum produced or extracted using techniques other than the conventional (oil well) method. Oil industries and governments across the globe are investing in unconventional oil sources due to the increasing scarcity of conventional oil reserves. In a communication to the UK entitled Oil Sands Crude in the series The Global Range of Crude Oils, it was argued that that commonly used definitions of unconventional oil based on production techniques are imprecise and time-dependent.

Extraction techniques that are categorized as conventional use unconventional means such as gas re-injection or the use of heat not traditional oil extraction methods. As the use of newer technologies increase, unconventional oil recovery has become the norm not the exception. In a communication to the UK entitled Oil Sands Crude in the series The Global Range of Crude Oils, it was argued that that commonly used definitions of unconventional oil based on production techniques are imprecise and time-dependent.
