The slip sheet has a four to six inch lip (tab) that extends beyond one or more of the sides of the slip sheet. The lip extensions permit a push-pull device to lift the slip sheet unit load. The first type of slip sheet is the single lip (tab) slip sheet. With a single lip, the lip faces the narrow part of the rectangular shaped unit load and the delivery truck door. This slip sheet variation maximizes the delivery truck’s space utilization and

The car was unpainted except for a clear blue lacquer, and red, white, and green stripes from the nose along the top of the car's surface. Unique to this car was a small wing placed behind the cockpit which reflected the tail wing of Frecce Tricolori's Aermacchi MB-339 PAN stunt plane. The three Tricolores were priced at £1.2 million. It was also faster than a standard Zonda at . The Zonda HP Barchetta was unveiled at the 2017 Pebble beach Concours d'Elegance as a present to the company's

The bodywork and aerodynamics have been altered to offer maximum down-force, featuring a longer front bonnet with flaps, a closed underbody and a new rear overhang with adjustable rear wing and race-derived diffuser. These are intended to translate into increased aerodynamic efficiency and down-force for maximum cornering speed. It is also noted that the car's new rear bodywork is minimal in the extreme, being composed mostly of vent. This is thought to be symptomatic of the need to keep the engine cool enough, even under hard track use. Again, this is similar to

Appreciations and depreciations may occur from year to year, each month, by the day, or every minute. They can be divided into two types——"free float" and "managed float." Free float Free float, also known as clean float, signifies that a currency's value is allowed to fluctuate in response to foreign-exchange market mechanisms without "government intervention". Managed float (or dirty float) Managed float, also known as dirty float, involves government intervention in the market exchange rate in different

The yakkan is the closest relative to the tetsubin, the main difference is that the yakkan is made from copper, whereas tetsubins are traditionally made out of iron. Some people have wondered why the tetsubin was developed, when a perfectly usable vessel such as the yakkan would have worked. Tea drinkers may have preferred the taste of water from an iron kettle over the taste of water from a copper kettle. Throughout the 18th century, tetsubin kettles became a standard household utensil for heating water to make tea with. As the use of

It was introduced on the 1976 Toyota Corona Mark II platform, and was sold new by Toyota at "Toyota Vista Store" dealerships only in Japan, together with the Toyota Cresta. The Toyota Chaser has been known as one of the 'triplet sedans' of Toyota, because it shares the same chassis with the Toyota Cressida/Mark II, and the Cresta, and afforded Toyota the opportunity to sell one platform at two different dealership sales channels.

title: Pageboy content: Pageboy The pageboy (or page boy) is a modern hairstyle named after what was believed to be the "pudding-basin" haircut of a late medieval page boy. It has straight hair hanging to below the ear, where it usually turns under. There is often a fringe (bangs) in the front. This style was popular in the late 1950s and 1960s. The pageboy hairstyle was developed and popularized for women in the 1950s. Its most notable feature were the bangs made famous by the fifties glamor and fetish model Bettie Page. It was sold to the public as the hairstyles worn historically


title: Pageboy content: by English pageboys. Major film actresses in the 2000s sported pageboys, and many fashionable women adopted it. A well cut pageboy is easy to maintain, and in the 1950s it was an edgy, stylish look. The pageboy is somewhat similar to a long bob cut. A pageboy hairstyle is a haircut which is designed for medium to short length hair. In the fifties the pageboy generally stopped at shoulder-length but later renditions saw the hair cut to just below the ear, where it curls under; in a reverse pageboy, the hair is curled outwards. Many hairstylists can make a pageboy

Today, the pageboy is generally shoulder-length or a little longer. In the early 1950s, the New York City hairdresser M. Lewis popularized this style. Singer Toni Tennille of the 1970s pop duet Captain & Tennille wore one as her signature look. In the Oscar-winning film "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", the villainous Nurse Ratched is known for her pageboy. In the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" episode "Gone", Buffy has her hair cut into

Ha!" and "-ha!-ha!-ha!", the group decided to abandon their exclamation mark for subsequent releases. Whilst the group's first album had been a product of the David Bowie/Roxy Music-esque side of glam rock, their second was considerably more informed by the burgeoning punk movement, although it also marked the group's first widespread adoption of synthesisers and electronic production techniques. Money from the first album was used to improve the band's equipment, and funded the purchase of

This song was the most indicative of the group's later synth-pop direction, and remains both a fan and critical favourite. It was performed on the group's 1978 "Old Grey Whistle Test" appearance and was covered by The Church on their 1999 covers album A Box of Birds and also by Jan Linton. "ROckWrok" was, as mentioned, the lead single. An unusually sensual paean to unrestrained sexuality, the song featured a chorus which began "come on, let's tangle in the

Other songs included "Fear in the Western World", which was also a punk number, with socially conscious references to contemporary global hot spots including Soweto and Ireland. "While I'm Still Alive", although subsequently regarded by the band as the album's weakest title, was particularly reminiscent of Sex Pistols, and specifically the vocal phrasing of John Lydon. "Fear

"Artificial Life" was reminiscent of Roxy Music's "In Every Dream Home A Heartache", with lyrics that examined suburban teenage life and tribes.

During the course of his career he taught at the universities of Oxford, Aberdeen, Keele and Reading, and at York University in Toronto. For much of his career Flew was known as a strong advocate of atheism, arguing that one should presuppose atheism until empirical evidence of a God surfaces.

However, in 2004 he changed his position, to acknowledge the existence of an Intelligent Creator of the universe, shocking his fellow colleagues and atheists. In order to further clarify his personal concept of God, Flew openly made an allegiance to deism, more specifically a belief in the Aristotelian God, and dismissed on many occasions a hypothetical conversion to Christianity or any other religion. He stated that in keeping his lifelong commitment

The book (and Flew's conversion to Deism) has been the subject of controversy, following an article in "The New York Times Magazine" alleging that Flew's intellect had declined due to senility, and that the book was primarily the work of Varghese; Flew himself specifically denied this, stating that the book represented
