Shield Volcanoes. Because mafic lava is low viscosity, when it erupts from a volcano it flows downslope away from the vent, gradually cooling and crystallizing. Because of the relative ease of flow, basaltic volcanoes are broad, with gentle slopes. They don't have the stereotypical steep volcanic cone shape.
Firm Order Commitment. The date at which outside wiring is scheduled (and the order becomes real). The normal procedure for a DCLEC DSL install, is for the Telco to schedule a FOC date to your MPOE (minimum point of entry). The ISP should advise you of your FOC date, (if one is required), as you may have to be there to let them have access.
How Limit and Stop Orders Work. A limit order is an instruction to the broker to trade a certain number shares at a specific price or better. For example, for an investor looking to buy a stock, a limit order at $50 means Buy this stock as soon as the price reaches $50 or lower. The investor would place such a limit order at a time when the stock is trading above $50. For someone wanting to sell, a limit order sets the floor price.
