globalize date December 2010 No footnotes date November 2010 A blanket loan , or blanket mortgage loan mortgage , is a type of loan used to fund the purchase of more than one piece of real property . Blanket loans are popular with builders and developers who buy large tracts of land, then subdivide them to create many individual parcels to be gradually sold one at a time. Rather than securing a new mortgage each time a portion of the development is sold, the borrower uses the blanket loan to buy them all. Once a parcel is sold, a portion of the mortgage is released, with the rest of the mortgage remaining intact. Traditional mortgages typically have a due on sale clause , which stipulates that if property secured by the mortgage is sold, the entire outstanding mortgage debt must be paid in full immediately. With a blanket mortgage, a release clause allows the sale of portions of the secured property and corresponding partial repayment of the loan. This is done to facilitate purchases and sales of multiple units of property with the convenience of a single mortgage. A builder, for example, might use a blanket mortgage to pay for construction of several homes in one neighborhood. When a home is sold, the portion of the mortgage that was used to fund that home is paid back to the lender, and then retired. The remaining outstanding balance is adjusted accordingly, and the blanket mortgage continues phase by phase in that manner, until all houses are sold and the entire mortgage is repaid and retired.

refimprove date March 2010 Blanket training is an approach used to train toddlers and pre schoolers to attain self discipline. Proponents believe that with consistent training, the child will acquire an ability to play contentedly and quietly by him herself for an extended period of time. A parent designates a certain amount of time usually 15 45 minutes, depending on the age of the child that a child must sit by him herself on a blanket on the floor. The child is not permitted to leave the parameters of the blanket, and may play quietly with a toy while seated on the blanket. The desired outcome is that after daily training in this manner, eventually the child will sit and play quietly on the blanket whenever and wherever the child is asked to do so. A blanket is used in this method of training because of its easy portability and accessibility in almost any time or location, such as during meal preparations, meetings, ceremonies, and medical appointments. Known practitioners of the practice include the Duggars ref Duggar, Jim Bob and Duggar, Michelle. 2008 The Duggars 20 and Counting Raising One of America s Largest Families How they Do It ref Opponents of blanket training call it emotionally abusive.

The blanket primary is a system used for selecting political party candidates in a primary election in the USA . In a blanket primary, voters may pick one candidate for each office without regard to party lines for instance, a voter might select a Democratic Party United States Democratic candidate for governor and a Republican Party United States Republican candidate for senator. The candidates with the highest votes by party for each office advance to the general election, as the respective party s nominee. It differs from the open primary &ndash in open primaries voters may pick candidates regardless of their own party registration, but may only choose among candidates from a single party of the voter s choice. A blanket primary gives registered voters maximum choice in selecting candidates. Compared to other primary systems, the blanket primary is less restrictive for voters because it does not limit them to selecting from only one party s candidates. Mainstream political parties, however, saw this as a disadvantage because it discouraged party loyalty, especially among moderate voters who did not identify strongly with either party. The system also has potential for tactical voting Voters opposed to one party might disingenuously choose a weaker candidate from that party, setting the candidate up to lose in the general election .

about the temperature sensor enclosure thermowell the personal protective covering space blanket Cleanup date May 2010 Unreferenced date November 2011 A thermal blanket is a device used in in situ thermal desorption ISTD to clean large area soil contamination. The primary function of a thermal blanket is to heat the soil to the boiling point of the contaminants usually 800 to 1,000 C . The contaminants break down. A vacuum pulls the resulting gas along with some contaminants into a separate air cleaner that may use various methods, such as carbon filters and high heat ovens, to completely destroy the contaminants. Deep contaminations are handled using a similar method with a deep penetrating heat source. This is commonly referred to as an ISTD thermal well. Concerns There is a concern that as a contaminant becomes heated, it may leak outside of the area of the thermal blanket. Therefore, the blanket must completely cover the contaminated area and have a strong enough vacuum to prohibit the spread of contaminations. Incomplete destruction of contaminants may lead to the introduction of Dioxins and dioxin like compounds dioxins and furans into the air. This method has not been effectively tested on organic contaminants. See also Soil contamination References cite journal author I. E. T. Iben, W. A. Edelstein, R. B. Sheldon, A. P. Shapiro, E. E.

Image Peatcuttingulsta.jpg thumb Blanket bog on the Yell, Shetland Yell , Shetland Islands , with some peat working Blanket bog or blanket mire , also known as featherbed bog , is an area of peat land, forming where there is a climate of high rain fall and a low level of evapotranspiration , allowing peat to develop not only in wet hollows but over large expanses of undulating ground. The blanketing of the ground with a variable depth of peat gives the habitat type its name. Blanket bogs are found extensively throughout the northern hemisphere well studied examples are found in Ireland and Great Britain Britain , but vast areas of the Russia n and North America n tundra also qualify as blanket bogs. In the southern hemisphere they are less well developed due to the relatively low latitude s of the main land areas, though similar environments are reported in Patagonia , the Falkland Islands and New Zealand . The blanket bogs known as featherbeds on subantarctic Macquarie Island occur on raised marine terrace s they may be up to 5 m deep, tremble or quake when walked on and can be hazardous to cross. ref cite book title The Antarctic Dictionary A Complete Guide to Antarctic English author Hince, Bernadette year 2000 series publisher CSIRO Publishing location Melbourne isbn 0643102329 page 126 url ref It is doubtful whether the extremely impoverished flora of Antarctica is sufficiently well developed to be considered as blanket bogs.
