When someone thinks of horse drawn carriages they think of Cinderella or Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom being drawn around in her golden carriage and high majesty. Horse drawn carriages came to their peak usage during the 14th century but where birthed to the world in around 3,500 BC. The word carriage is derived from the Old Northern French word carriage which means to carry in a vehicle. The very first carriage where introduced to us during 3,000 BC by the Egyptians. They had a mere basin with two wheels on each side and had one or two horses drawing it. As horses became more and more domesticated the reign of the horse drawn carriage arose. The main reason for their rise to popularity was the speed and agility the rider or passenger attained. Horses can go at an average 70 kilometers per hour so it’s easy to guess why they were used for transport.
The horses being used to draw the carriages needed to be domesticated. You can’t just take some horses from the wild and expect them to suddenly start obeying to your command and desires. As with all wild animals for them to safely interact with humans they must be domesticated or only chaos and danger can be expected. Horses have been domesticated since 5000 BC. A known hypothesis is that horses were first herded as they were a source of milk and meat. Milk remains where often found in ancient artefacts. An idea as to how horses began to get used to draw carriages is that a horse may not have been fit for consumption and so someone experimented and decided to use it instead of a cow.
Horses were chosen over cows because they are evidently stronger. You won’t ever see a 720-kilogram cow jumping over a fence a meter high or even a fence half a meter high. Cows, however strong, are dumpy, chunky and slower than horses. They can be trained but are not nearly as responsive as horses are. Horses whether domesticated or wild acknowledge leadership and so being lead is within the nature of a horse already. This makes them highly responsive and aware when being given direction. Cows on the other hand may need a threat or bribe to adhere to orders.
Horse drawn carriages where a global hit and every nation and its surrounding areas had different types of horse drawn carriages. The ancient Chinese Zhou Dynasty used oriental style carriages to transport royals to and for. The Romans liked to incorporate leather and chain straps to their carriages. The most extravagant horse drawn carriage was an all gold carriage used by the British Monarchy also known as the coronation coach. To match the grandeur of the gold carriage the horses are adorn with reigns and straps with gold ornaments and detailing.
The introduction of the horse drawn carriage surely brought a new spectrum to transport of the olden days.
Next year's summer vacation may be many months away, but a little bit of forethought can prevent a vacation debt hangover next summer.
Courtney, a registered nurse, and her husband decided to take a last-minute vacation before she started a new job — a seven-day cruise to the eastern Caribbean Islands.
“We chose this option because we thought that cruises are affordable compared with other vacations,” she says. Unfortunately, as many of us have experienced firsthand, they ended up in choppy financial waters. Courtney felt “defeated and disappointed” after coming back to a mountain of credit card debt.
It’s hard to enjoy yourself when you know that you’re digging yourself into a financial hole. So make sure to follow these ways to avoid vacation debt:
It’s easy to get caught up in the moment and overspend when you’re on vacation. You’re relaxed and ready to enjoy yourself, so the last thing you’re thinking about is sticking to your budget. This happened to Courtney and her husband on their cruise.
“We had already used up most of our budget for the trip and had very little left to spend once we arrived at each destination. That’s when the credit card came out of the wallet,” Courtney says.
Luckily, Courtney and her husband have learned from their mistakes — and you can, too. You don’t have to go through a vacation-debt hangover when you return from an awesome trip.
For instance, Courtney says, “All was going well until we stepped onto the cruise ship. We were not expecting how expensive things would be.”
It’s difficult to know how much to budget for a trip unless you’ve been on a similar trip before. The next best thing to do is research in advance. There are many travel forums where you can ask people who have been on similar trips about anticipated expenses. Courtney was surprised by the cost of massages, as well as by the expensive menus at the specialty restaurants onboard.
Many people break out the credit card to supplement their vacation budget. I suggest you make it as difficult as possible to access.
For instance, Courtney and her husband could have put their credit card in a plastic bag, duct taped it shut and left it in their cruise cabin safe during their trip. Doing something like this will give you some time to pause before you charge a purchase that you can’t afford to pay off.
If you don’t trust yourself with a credit card at all, only take cash or a debit card linked to your vacation bank account so that you don’t overspend and can avoid vacation debt.
One of the best ways to avoid going into vacation debt is to start saving for it today, even if you don’t know where you’ll be going or what you’ll do.
Simply decide on a set amount of money that you want to set aside from each paycheck and put it in a separate savings account earmarked for your next vacation. You can use an app like Stash Invest to put aside this amount automatically.
Personally, my wife and I save $100 per paycheck toward a future vacation. Courtney and her husband plan to do something similar. “Our next vacation will be with cash, and it will feel even more rewarding and relaxing because of it,” she says.
If you already have an idea of how much your next vacation will cost, you can divide the total cost by the number of paychecks you have until you leave. That calculation will tell you how much you need to save each paycheck in order to pay for your vacation in full beforehand.
If you don’t know where you want to go yet, save anyway. Then, when you’re ready to take a trip, look at your vacation savings and find a trip that fits your budget.
Have you ever wondered if those people claiming to get free travel using credit cards are really telling you the full story? I'll show you exactly how my wife and I travel for free using credit card rewards. To…
For those of you who love to travel, you’ve probably heard the buzzwords “travel hacking.” Travel hacking involves using credit card reward points to travel for “free.” Basically, you sign up for new credit cards in order to earn free…
I live in Ohio (an at-fault auto insurance state) and my friend, who recently borrowed my car, ended up rear ending a car. My car is fine but the car she hit needs some minor repairs. If she has insurance from a no-fault state, who will have to pay for the damage done to the other vehicles? | CentSai
Home » MONEY FORUMS » Insurance » I live in Ohio (an at-fault auto insurance state) and my friend, who recently borrowed my car, ended up rear ending a car. My car is fine but the car she hit needs some minor repairs. If she has insurance from a no-fault state, who will have to pay for the damage done to the other vehicles?
It’s a common misconception that car insurance follows the driver. In fact, according to http://www.dmv.org/insurance/when-another-driver-has-an-accident-in-your-car.php, the insurance follows the vehicle. Assuming this friend was at fault because of the nature of the accident (rear-ending), it is up to your insurance company to pay the damages. So, your insurance is responsible and your friend’s may provide secondary (extra) coverage if it is needed. The only way you could *not* have your insurance pay the damages is if you claimed your friend stole your car/did not have your permission to operate it.
If, however, the accident was not your friend’s fault, the claim would be paid by the other driver’s coverage and your insurance would be unaffected.
In some cases, it might be a good idea to hire an attorney. “Because you could be subject to personal liability in those cases, meaning the other driver can actually sue you for damages instead of the person who drove your car, an attorney can help you.”
So apparently I come here every three or four months, to complain about things (often AI hype; omg don’t get me started on the latest “Watson” ad campaign owch).
Today I’m going to complain about this common English-prescriptivist notion, which I randomly encountered recently on a page that I won’t bother linking to because it was just like so many others, that it’s Very Bad Usage, and even Incorrect, to use adverbs of degree or comparison with the word “unique”. You can’t, this notion says, say “very unique” or “more unique”, for instance.
This is because, the notion says, uniqueness is an all-or-nothing concept; something is either unique or it isn’t, so there aren’t degrees or meaningful comparatives.
Every physical object is unique, if you look hard enough, as is every situation. There has never been a bottle of hair shampoo with exactly this many molecules in it and a label exactly this many hundredths of degrees askew. There has never been an evening with exactly this number of fireflies in all of the yards for ten miles all around.
Even an electron, which is about as close as we get in this physics to something that’s exactly the same as a bunch of other things (all other electrons), has a unique position (and/or momentum and/or combination of the two). If you want to be all quantum and deny that an electron has a single definite position, you’ll still grant that it has some sort of probability-function over a set of space-time coordinates, and that that function is different from the function corresponding to all other electrons.
So if everything is unique, why is the word “unique” useful? Exactly because some things are more unique than others: unique in more ways, or unique in more important ways. This tract house here is unique because although it’s identical to its neighbors in most ways, no other house in the county has an inverted horseshoe with Mickey Mouse’s face on it (a souvenir of Disneythingie) over the door. But compared to the house on the corner, which sits on top of a fifty-foot tower and can be reached only by a long spiral staircase, and which inside contains only one large room, which the inhabitants variably divide into sections as the mood strikes them, using bedsheets suspended on hooks from the ceiling, the tract house isn’t really unique at all. The tower house, being very unique, is much more unique than the Disney-horseshoe one.
So away with this simplistic “you can’t say ‘very unique’ or ‘more unique'” rule; it’s silly. The terms have perfectly reasonable meanings, which they communicate clearly to any competent speaker. I don’t know where this idea started, and I’m insufficiently motivated to look it up, but I suspect that it’s one of those ways of showing that you’re a certain sort of card-carrying language maven, like the bit about not splitting infinitives.
Which isn’t to say that there are never better alternatives. If you really want to talk about general statistical properties, “more unusual” or “very unusual” might be better. Hauling out the bigger gun of “unique” is best done when you want to say that there isn’t anywhere a thing that’s the same as this one in the relevant sense, rather than just saying that things like that are comparatively rare. And so “really amazingly unique” is best reserved when you really want to say that, in a particularly important and relevant sense, that the thing has properties (really, and amazingly) that nothing else has; not just that it’s sort of odd.
