Second-hand shops Consignment shop is an American term for second-hand shops that sell used goods for owners (consignors), typically at a lower cost than new goods. Not all second-hand shops are consignment shops. In consignment shops, it is usually understood that the consignee (the seller) pays the consignor (the person who owns the item) a portion of the proceeds from the sale. Payment is not made until and unless the item sells. Such shops are found around the world.
What is 'Time Horizon'. A time horizon is the length of time over which an investment is made or held before it is liquidated. Time horizons can range from seconds, in the case of a day trader, all the way up to decades for a buy-and-hold investor or an individual who is investing in a retirement plan.
Around the time of Harvest Moon, the full moonâs path is tilted at a shallow angle to the eastern horizon making with successive moonrises only about a half hour apart instead of the usual 50 minutes. Source: Stellarium. 50 minutes is the usual gap between moonrises. But it can vary from 25 minutes to more than an hour depending upon the angle the moonâs path makes to the eastern horizon at rise time. In September that path runs above the horizon at a shallow angle.
