Wikify date August 2011 Eyelash extensions are any number of enhancements designed add length, thickness and fullness to natural eyelash es. They may be compared to hair extensions for one s eyelashes. They can be separated into two types temporary and semi permanent. Types of Lashes Temporary false lashes are any lashes designed to be worn for a short period ie, a day or less. They can be made with human hair , or with synthetic materials. They are not designed to be worn when showering, sleeping or swimming. They are applied with lash glue designed specifically for temporary lashes. Permanent lashes, also known as eyelash extensions, are lashes applied with a stronger adhesive. Generally, a single lash is applied to each natural lash when applied properly, neither the extension lash nor the glue should touch the eyelid. The bond is designed to last until the lashes naturally fall out, though the extensions may fall out faster if one uses oil based eye makeup remover or rubs eyes regularly. For both types, eyelashes come in various lengths, colours and thicknesses, from natural looking to outrageous. File Eyelash extension example.jpg thumb Eyelash extension example Process A set of new eyelash extensions can run anywhere from 100 to 500 in the United States, depending on the type and number of lashes used, the skill of the cosmetician and the venue where extensions are performed. It usually takes an hour to two hours to attach a full new set. An average person might have anywhere from thirty to eighty lashes per eye. The variance in the number of lashes accounts for the difference in how long it takes to apply them. Many eyelash extension packages come with repair options, where one can go get the fallen extensions added within a few weeks from the initial application, at a lowered cost.

Contract law An acceleration clause , in the law of contracts , is a term that fully matures the performance due from a party upon a breach of the contract. Such clauses are most prevalent in mortgages and similar contracts to purchase real estate in installments. Suppose, for example, the contract was for A to purchase Blackacre from B for 100,000, to be paid in 5 monthly installments of 20,000. If A makes the first two payments, but fails to make the third payment, an acceleration clause would require that A must immediately pay B the entire balance of 60,000, or lose his right to purchase Blackacre without getting a refund of his 40,000 . A sample acceleration clause reads like this In the event of default in the payment of any of the said installments or said interest when due as herein provided, time being of the essence hereof, the holder of this note may, without notice or demand, declare the entire principal sum then unpaid immediately due and payable.

No footnotes date April 2009 Fermi acceleration ref M. A. Lieberman and A. J. Lichtenberg, Phys. Rev. A 5, 1852 1972 ref , sometimes referred to as diffusive shock acceleration a subclass of Fermi acceleration , is the acceleration that charge physics charged Subatomic particle particles undergo when being repeatedly reflected, usually by a magnetic mirror . This is thought to be the primary mechanism by which particles gain non thermal energies in astrophysical shock waves . It plays a very important role in many astrophysical models, mainly of shocks including solar flares and supernova remnant s. It is studied by using the Fermi Ulam model . There are two types of Fermi acceleration First order Fermi acceleration in shocks and Second Order Fermi acceleration in the environment of moving magnetized gas clouds . In both cases the environment has to be collisionless in order for the mechanism to be effective. This is because Fermi acceleration only applies to particles with energies exceeding the thermal energies, and frequent collisions with surrounding particles will cause severe energy loss and as a result no acceleration will occur. First order Fermi acceleration Shock waves typically have moving magnetic inhomogeneities both preceding and following them. Consider the case of a charged ... can cross the shock and enter the game of acceleration. It is presently unclear what mechanism causes the particles to initially have energies sufficiently high to do so.

unreferenced date July 2009 In computing , Hardware acceleration is the use of computer hardware to perform some function faster than is possible in computer software software running on the general purpose Central processing unit CPU . Examples of hardware acceleration include blitting acceleration functionality in graphics processing unit s GPUs and instructions for complex operations in CPUs. Normally, processors are sequential, and instructions are executed one by one. Various techniques are used to improve performance hardware acceleration is one of them. The main difference between hardware and software is concurrency computer science concurrency , allowing hardware to be much faster than software. Hardware accelerators are designed for computationally intensive software code. Depending upon granularity, hardware acceleration can vary from a small functional unit to a large functional block like motion estimation in MPEG 2 . The hardware that performs the acceleration, when in a separate unit from the CPU, is referred to as a hardware accelerator , or often more specifically as graphics accelerator or floating point unit floating point accelerator , etc. Those terms, however, are older and have been replaced with less descriptive terms like video card or graphics card . Many hardware accelerators are built on top of field programmable gate array chips.

Typically this means having a separate card that plugs into a Conventional PCI PCI slot in a computer that contains one or more Coprocessor co processors able to handle much of the SSL processing. SSL accelerators may use off the shelf CPUs, but most use custom ASIC s and RISC chips to do most of the difficult computational work.

Part of the role of the SSL handshake is to agree on session keys symmetric keys, used for the duration of a given session , but the encryption and signature of the SSL handshake messages itself is done using asymmetric keys contained in the certificates , which requires more computational power than the symmetric cryptography used for the encryption decryption of the session data.

generalize date May 2010 Foreclosure Acceleration Advert date June 2008 refimprove date May 2010 Mortgage acceleration is a term given to the practice of paying off a mortgage loan faster than required by terms of the mortgage agreement. As interest on mortgages is compound interest compounded , early payments diminish the period needed to pay off the mortgage, and avoid a quotient of compounded interest. In addition, Foreclosure Accelerationacceleration may refer to a clause in a mortgage note that allows the mortgage holder to declare the entire debt of a Default finance defaulted mortgagor due and payable. A commonplace method of mortgage acceleration is a so called bi weekly payment plan, in which half of the normal calendar monthly payment is made every two weeks, so that 13 12 of the yearly amount due is paid per annum. Commonplace too, is the practice of making ad hoc additional payments. The agreements associated with certain mortgages preclude or penalize early payments. However, another type of mortgage acceleration concept appears to have been embraced by a variety of financial institutions and intermediaries, which offer products such as methods, software, mortgage linked checking accounts , and home equity line of credit loan facilities advertised as being capable of assisting in achieving mortgage acceleration, and available at a range of premiums. Most of these mortgage acceleration also called mortgage reduction , interest reduction or debt reduction programs or software are based on a trick. The basic claim made is that by using a particular type of loan in a particular way often following a program , the borrower can cut many years off the mortgage without making additional repayments or similarly, that although additional payments are made, the savings increase significantly due to the use of a particular loan and or strategy. The concept usually involves a type of loan that allows the borrower to use the loan as their day to day transaction account ... more details
