Bankruptcy
The main reason of bankruptcy is to give an honest debtor a fresh start in life by reducing the debtor of most debts, and to repay creditors in an orderly manner to the extent that the debtor has the means available for payment. Bankruptcy allows debtors to resolve debts through the division of non-exempt assets among creditors. In addition the declaration of bankruptcy allows debtors to be discharge most of the financial obligations, after their non exempt assets are dispersed, even if their debts have not been paid in full.

Areas of Work Designers
Working freelance: Freelance designers work for themselves. They sell their work to fashion houses, direct to shops, or to clothing manufacturers. The garments bear the buyer's label.
Working In-house: In-house designers are employed full-time by one Fashion Company. Their designs are the property of that company, and cannot be sold to anyone else.
Setting up a Company: Fashion designers often set up their own companies. Many people find this more satisfying than working for someone else, as their designs are sold under their own label.

Cranes
Most species of cranes are at least threatened, if not seriously endangered, within their range. The plight of the Whooping Cranes of North America inspired some of the first US legislation to defend endangered species.
They are opportunistic feeders that modify their diet according to the season and their own nutrient requirements. They eat a variety of items from suitably sized small rodents, fish, amphibians, and insects, to grain, berries, and plants.
There are representatives of this collection on all the continents except Antarctica and South America.
The cranes' beauty and their stunning mating dances have made them highly symbolic birds in numerous cultures with records dating back to ancient times. Crane mythology is widely spread and can be found in areas such as the Aegean, South Arabia, Japan and in the Native American cultures of North America. In northern Hokkaido, the women of the Ainu people, whose society is more Siberian than Japanese, performed a crane bop that was captured in 1908 in a photograph by Arnold Genthe. In Korea, a crane dance has been performed in the courtyard of the Tongdosa Temple because the Silla Dynasty (646 CE).
In Mecca, in pre-Islamic South Arabia, the goddesses Allat, Uzza, and Manah, who were supposed to be daughters of and intercessors with Allah, were called the "three exalted cranes" (gharaniq, an incomprehensible word on which 'crane' is the usual gloss).

Jewellery
Jewellery is factually any piece of fine material used to decorate oneself. Although in earlier times jewellery was created for more convenient uses, such as wealth storage and pinning clothes together, in recent times it has been used almost completely for beautification.
The first pieces of jewellery were made from likely materials, such as bone and animal teeth, shell, wood and engraved stone. Jewellery was often made for people of high importance to show their status and, in many cases, they were covered with it.Jewellery is made out of almost every material recognized and has been made to garnish nearly every body part, from hairpins to toe rings and many more types of jewellery. While high-quality and artistic pieces are made with gemstones and valuable metals, less pricey costume jewellery is made from less-valuable materials and is mass-produced.Form and function Kenyan man exhausting tribal beads.Over time, jewellery has been used for a number of reasons: Currency, wealth display and storage,purposeful Symbolism Protection and Artistic display Most cultures have at some point had a practice of observance large amounts of wealth stored in the form of jewellery. Numerous cultures move wedding dowries in the form of jewelry, or create jewelry as a means to store or display coins. on the other hand, jewellery has been used as a currency or trade good; a mostly poignant example being the use of slave beads.
In creating jewellery, a variety of gemstones, coins, or other valuable items can be used, often set into precious metals. Common expensive metals used for modern jewellery include gold, platinum or silver, although alloys of nearly every metal known can be encountered in jewellery -- bronze, for example, was common in Roman times. Most gold jewellery is made of an alloy of gold, the purity of which is affirmed in karats, indicated by a number followed by the letter K. For example, ordinary gold jewellery ranges from 10K (41.7% pure gold) to 22K (91.6% pure gold), while 24K (99.9% pure gold) is considered too soft for jewellery use.
Platinum alloys variety from 900 (90% pure) to 950 (95.0% pure). The silver used in jewellery is usually sterling silver, or 92.5% fine silver.Other generally used materials include glass, such as merged glass or enamel; wood, often carved or turned; shells and other natural animal substances such as bone and ivory; natural clay, polymer clay, and even plastics.
Jewellery and society
One universal issue is control over who could wear what jewellery, a point which indicate the powerful symbolism the wearing of jewellery evoked. In ancient Rome, for instance, only convinced ranks could wear rings; later, sumptuary laws dictated who could wear what type of jewellery; again based on rank. Cultural dictate have also played a important role; for example, the wearing of earrings by Western men was considered "effeminate" in the 19th and early 20th centuries. on the other hand, the jewellery industry in the early 20th century launched a crusade to popularize wedding rings for men - which caught on - as well as appointment rings for men , going so far as to make a false history and claim that the practice had Medieval roots. By the mid 1940s, 85% of weddings in the U.S. feature a double-ring ceremony, up from 15% in the 1920s.Religion has also played a role: Islam, for instance, consider the wearing of gold by men as a social taboo,and many religions have edicts against extreme display.

Lease bond
This bond is issued to landlord in connection to cash security deposit, letter of credit, personal or corporate guarantee which serves as a security for the purpose of tenant’s full and complete performance of the terms and condition of commercial lease. This bond is similar in many aspects, both letter of credit and guarantee. In failure of the bond, the landlord submits the bond against a claim, which is paid by the surety underwriter as per the terms and condition of the lease. The landlord draws the lease money from the bank under a letter of credit.
In this bond, the surety underwriter is liable to the landlord and not the tenant for breach of the lease contract. The surety underwriter's responsibility on the lease bond is strictly monetary; the surety underwriter is generally not required to perform the unfulfilled non-monetary obligations of the tenant.

Industry
Industry in the second sense became a key sector of production in European and North American countries during the Industrial Revolution, which upset previous mercantile and feudal economies through many successive rapid advances in technology, such as the development of steam engines, power looms, and advances in large scale steel and coal production. Industrial countries then assumed a capitalist economic policy. Railroads and steam-powered ships began speedily integrating previously impossibly-distant world markets, enabling private companies to develop to then-unheard of size and wealth. Manufacturing is a wealth-producing sector of an economy. Other sectors such as the service sector tend to be wealth consuming sectors. Following the Industrial Revolution, perhaps a third of the world's economic output is derived from manufacturing industries—more than agriculture's share.

Lahar
Lahars can be extremely dangerous, because of their energy and speed: large lahars can flow several tens of meters per second, and can flow for many kilometres, causing catastrophic destruction along the way. The lahars from the Nevado del Ruiz eruption in Colombia in 1985 killed an estimated 25,000 people in the city of Armero who were buried under 8 m (26 ft) of mud and debris. The 1953 Tangiwai disaster in New Zealand was caused by a lahar.
Lahars have several possible causes:
Snow and glaciers can be melted by a pyroclastic flow during an eruption
A flood caused by a glacier, lake breakout, or heavy rainfall can release a lahar, also called glacier run or jökulhlaup.
