How the Civil War Changed the Constitution The first and most obvious change involves slavery. The 13th Amendment was possible (as were the other two Civil War amendments) only because the war broke slaveryâs stranglehold over politics and constitutional development. The Constitution of 1787 protected slavery at every turn. |

How to Use New-Car Incentives and Rebates Know the Incentive Types. Before you learn how to use car incentives and rebates, you must first know what they are. Here is a quick rundown: Customer Cash: Customer cash, also called bonus cash, is a rebate the manufacturer gives to the consumer. |
What does it mean to lease a vehicle???? So if you lease the car for 3 years, you are paying for the difference between what the car is worth today vs what the car will be worth in 3 years. So say the car is worth $40K today, but 3 years from now, the lease company believes the car will only be worth $18K. |
What Does Rent-To-Buy Mean? This is how rent-to-buy works: for a set period of time, usually 54 months, you will pay a fixed amount to rent a car. By paying this monthly rental fee you will in fact be paying monthly instalments on your car. During this time youâll have full access to the car and wonât be limited by a maximum monthly mileage. |
How Does a Lease-to-Own Program Work for Vehicles? Small used car sellers offer lease-to-own or rent-to-own programs to people who cannot qualify to purchase cars from dealers that have tougher requirements for credit history and employment. Lease-to-own agreements differ from the standard vehicle lease agreements offered by automobile dealers. |
How to Use New-Car Incentives and Rebates Before you learn how to use car incentives and rebates, you must first know what they are. Customer Cash: Customer cash, also called bonus cash, is a rebate the manufacturer gives to the consumer. The buyer typically applies it to the price of the vehicle, but buyers can sometimes opt to keep the money for themselves. |
What does It Mean to Lease a Car? If you have decided to get a vehicle, you probably know you have two basic options: to lease a car or to buy one. There are advantages and disadvantages to each option, but leasing can be a solution if you don't have the credit or the money to buy a vehicle right away. Leasing is essentially a form of long-term rental. |
What does it mean to lease a vehicle???? Leasing a vehicle basically means you borrow the vehicle from the dealership for a fixed amount to pay every month you lease it. The most common lease I believe is 3 years. You also have a certain amount of miles you have to stay under for the time you are leasing the car. |
What does leasing mean? When you lease a car, you are basically paying for the right to use a car for a time period, usually for three years. After that time, you simply return the car, trading it in for a different model or year. |
What does it mean to lease a vehicle???? The lease department jobber sets the monthly lease payments which are the difference between the dealer's cost to purchase the car and the value of the vehicle after the lease term is up. So, if the lease term was for three years, the vehicle will be worth a lot less after that time. |
What Does Rent-To-Buy Mean? Buying a new car can be difficult for most people. Getting car finance from a traditional finance institution, such as a bank, becomes even more difficult for those with poor credit ratings and those who have been blacklisted. And then, if finance is granted the repayment terms could prove to be difficult. |

What causes necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC)? A recent NICHD-supported study found that a common type of medication, sometimes given to infants for acid reflux and called âH2-blockers,â was associated with a slight increase in the risk of NEC in preterm infants. |
Necrotizing enterocolitis Signs and symptoms[edit] The condition is typically seen in premature infants, and the timing of its onset is generally inversely proportional to the gestational age of the baby at birth (i.e. the earlier a baby is born, the later signs of NEC are typically seen). |
What causes necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC)? 1 Inability of the infantâs digestive system to keep out dangerous bacteria. Inadequate ability of the immature intestine to provide an adequate structural barrier to bacteria. This barrier usually matures in the unborn infant starting about week 26 (11 to 12 weeks before a full-term birth). |
- Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious illness in newborns. It happens when tissue in the large intestine (colon) gets inflamed. This inflammation damages and sometimes kills the tissue in your babyâs colon. Any newborn can get NEC. But itâs most common in premature babies. |
- It occurs postnatally (i.e. it is not seen in stillborn infants) and is the second most common cause of morbidity in premature infants, causing 355 deaths per year in the United States in 2013, down from 484 in 2009. Rates per 100,000 live births were almost three times higher for blacks than for whites. |
Necrotizing Enterocolitis Babies who had a difficult birth or low oxygen levels at birth are more likely to get NEC. When there is too little oxygen, the body sends blood and oxygen to the brain and heart first. This reduces the blood flow to the intestinal tract. This can cause less oxygen in blood to reach the colon. |
What causes necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC)? Full-term infants are usually diagnosed with NEC earlier than are premature infants (day 5 versus day 13 on average), possibly because they start feeding earlier. The condition is equally life threatening in premature and full-term infants. |
- No one knows what causes NEC. It may happen if not enough blood and oxygen reach your babyâs intestinal tissues. Then when food moves into the area, bacteria from the food can damage the tender tissues. This can harm the tissues and cause them to die. When this happens, a hole forms in the intestine. This can cause a severe infection in your babyâs belly (abdomen). |
Necrotizing enterocolitis Autopsy of infant showing abdominal distension, intestinal necrosis and hemorrhage, and peritonitis due to perforation. Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a medical condition primarily seen in premature infants, where portions of the bowel undergo necrosis (tissue death). |
What causes necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC)? In premature infants, the cause may be related to the immaturity of the childâs digestive system. NEC involves infection and inflammation in the childâs gut, which may stem from the growth of dangerous bacteria or the growth of bacteria in parts of the intestine where they do not usually live. |
