Problem: Article: If you live in an area with hot, humid summers, professional storage is strongly recommended. It's very hard to maintain safe levels of heat and humidity in your home, even with amenities like air conditioners. If professional storage is within your budget, it's worth the investment to keep your coat safe. You can find storage facilities online or in the local yellow pages. You should always ask questions when selecting a storage facility. Storing coats is expensive, so you want to make sure your coat will not get damaged by the wrong facility. Ask where the storage area is. Some facilities store fur coats in a cramped back room. You should also visit a facility in person and ask to see the storage area. You do not want to store your coat in a facility where it will be jammed in with other clothing items. You should also ask about coverage in the event the fur is lost or damaged. If you have insurance, make sure your insurance still covers your fur if you choose to store it. You should also make sure the storage facility has insurance coverage, and ask whether or not you would be compensated in the event of damages. When exploring your storage options, you want to make sure they're adequate to keep a fur coat safe. Any reputable storage center will maintain a 50 degree temperature and a 50 percent humidity. This is ideal for fur.
Summary: Think about the climate in your area. Make sure to ask questions at the facility. Ask about the vault's temperature and humidity.

Problem: Article: This term refers to an action that happened or something that was done in the past, which serves as a model or guidance for future actions. If you encounter a certain situation, you would look to precedent or how the situation was handled in the past - in order to handle that situation at the present time. For instance, suppose that you ground your oldest child for two weeks for getting a "D" on his report card. A year later, when your middle child receives a "D" on her report card, you would look to precedent to know how long to ground her. Since your oldest child was grounded for two weeks, then your middle child also should be grounded for two weeks for the same behavior. A precedent is a decision by a judge or a panel of judges that is binding on, or governs, lower courts in the same jurisdiction. It establishes a rule of law, or "ratio decidendi," that other courts must follow. When one of the lower courts has a case involving the same or similar facts as a precedent, the court must follow the precedent. In the case of the ratio decidendi, the precedent set is the principle or reasoning that has been established in a single case that serves as an example or rule to be followed in subsequent cases. A precedent also may be referred to as the "holding" of a case. Typically, an appellate court establishes precedent. This could be a U.S. Court of Appeals, the U.S. Supreme Court, or a state appeals or supreme court. However, courts can also look to other equivalent courts for precedent. For instance, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana might look to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana for precedent in some cases. The other meaning of precedent in law refers to a model document or clause that a lawyer bases the drafting of clauses, contracts, agreements, etc. from. Some court decisions are binding on courts, meaning that a court has to follow those decisions. This is the case, for example, if the U.S. Supreme Court establishes a rule on a particular point of law. Any lower courts, such as a U.S. Court of Appeals, must follow the U.S. Supreme Court decision. Non-binding precedent involves decisions by equivalent courts. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit might look at how the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit has ruled on a particular case as nonbinding precedent. It can follow the other court's decision, or not; it is not required to follow the other court's ruling because it is not binding precedent. Stare decisis translates to "let the decision stand". This means courts considering a certain kind of case generally have to follow the rulings in previous court cases. It also helps people know what to expect when faced with certain legal issues. You can simply to look to previous court decisions in order to find out how a court might rule in your case.
Summary: Define precedent generally. Define precedent in the legal sense. Understand the difference between binding and nonbinding precedent. Understand stare decisis.

Problem: Article: Excel spreadsheets are formatted by default to have cells that are wider than they are tall. To create a uniform flowchart, you will want to set the cell sizes to be square. To do this, click the Select All Cells button located in the top-left corner of the spreadsheet. Right-click on any column heading and select Column Width from the menu. Enter 2.14 into the field and press Enter. This will change all of the cells into perfect squares. Turn on Snap to Grid from the Align menu in the Layout or Page Layout tab. This will make any created objects adjust their size to match the grid, helping you to create uniform shapes. If you plan on exporting the spreadsheet to Word or another program, you will want to make sure that the margins line up. Use the Margins menu in the Page Layout or Layout tab to adjust the margins to match the software you are exporting to. You can adjust the orientation of the document (portrait or landscape) using the Orientation menu in the Layout tab. Flowcharts that go from left to right should be formatted for landscape. Click the Insert tab and select the Shapes menu. Select the shape that you want to create and then draw the size of the box using your mouse. Once you create a shape, you can change the color and outline style using the tools in the Format tab that opens. To add text to shapes, click on the center of the shape and start typing. You can adjust the font and style in the Home tab. Keep your text short and to the point, and ensure that it is easily readable. Open the Shapes menu from the Insert tab. Select the line style that most suits your needs. Hover your mouse over the first shape. You will see small red boxes appear on its edges that show where lines can be connected. Start the line in the red box, and drag it to the second shape. Red boxes will appear on the second shape. Place the endpoint of the line on one of these boxes. The shapes are now connected. If you move one, the line will stay connected, and adjust its angle appropriately. Add comments to connecting lines by inserting a Text Box, available from the Insert tab. Instead of creating a flowchart from scratch, there are a variety of Excel templates and wizards available both for free or for purchase online. Many of these take most of the work out of creating a flowchart.
Summary: Create a grid. Set your margins. Create shapes. Add text. Connect the shapes. Download a template.
