Context date October 2009 In the United States, a permanent fund is one of the five Fund Accounting fund types established by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles GAAP classified as a government fund. Put simply a permanent fund may be used to generate and disperse money to those entitled to receive payments by qualification or agreement, as in the case of Alaska citizens or residents that satisfy the rules for payment from their permanent fund from State oil revenues. It was first introduced through List of GASB Statements GASB Statement 34 . The name of the fund comes from the purpose of the fund a sum of equity used to permanently generate payments to maintain some financial obligation. Also, a fund can only be classified as a permanent fund if the money is used to report the status of a restricted financial resource. The resource is restricted in the sense that only earnings from the resource are used and not the principal . For example, a fund can be classified as a permanent fund if it being used to pay for accounting services for a perpetual endowment of a government run cemetery or financial endowment s towards a government run library. A common misconception is that permanent funds are required for special purpose government entities that solely engage in business type activities. However, this is not the case. According to Statement 34, that special purpose government entity needs only to report the net balance of the restricted resources.

Time Magazine , October 5 2005. ref The phrase the permanent campaign, its concept and history, were first defined by journalist and later Clinton presidential senior adviser Sidney Blumenthal in his 1980 book, The Permanent Campaign. In it, he explained how the changes in American politics from old style patronage and party organization to that based on the modern technology of computer driven polling and media created a fundamentally new system. He explained that political consultants had replaced the party bosses and brought with them a new model by which campaigning became the forms of governing. Blumenthal s work resolved the problem in political science of critical realignment.

Off hook tone Howler tone is a tone of increasing intensity that is intended to alert telephone users to the fact that the receiver has been left off the hook without being connected in a telephone call call .

These methods had the disadvantage of blocking all outgoing calls from that line until it was manually cleared.

ref improve date October 2011 nofootnotes date February 2010 In turn based game s, permanent brain also called pondering is the act of thought thinking during the opponent s turn. Turn based games such as chess have a weakness one of the players can spend too much time thinking. Time control solves this problem each player receives certain amount of time for thinking. If a player spends more than the allotted time, he loses. When a player thinks on his move, the opponent can relax. However, some players try to use the opponent s time for thinking too. Some players use this time for long term planning strategy . Other players try to predict the opponent s move and think about the next move. Players who are in time trouble use pondering particularly frequently. Use with chess programs The strength of chess program s depends very much on the amount of time allocated for calculating. Many chess programs use pondering to improve their strength. Current programs cannot create strategic plans, so a program simply tries to predict the opponent s move and begins to calculate its response. If the opponent s move has been guessed correctly, then the program continues to calculate. If the prediction fails, the program begins a new computation. Pondering is less effective than normal thinking. For example, if the program guesses 25 of the opponent s moves correctly, the use of pondering is on average equivalent to increasing the normal calculating time by a factor of 1.25. In chess games between two computers, pondering makes sense only if the competing chess engines use different Central processing unit processors or Multi core core s. If they share the same core, the pondering program steals half of the time from the program thinking in the normal way and uses the stolen time less effectively. For this reason, chess GUIs like Arena chess Arena have an option to turn the permanent brain off.
