A Chapter 7, or debt elimination, bankruptcy case is active until the court issues your final decree, the judgment that officially closes the case.

Rain gauge. A rain gauge is a type of instrument used by meteorologists and hydrologists to gather and measure the amount of liquid precipitation over a set period of time.
According to the National Weather Service and CoCoRAHS (both of which use citizen volunteers to measure rainfall), âexposureâ of the rain gauge is important. Rain may be blocked by nearby obstacles causing the number to be lower than it should. Or, rain may be blown into or away from the gauge by wind gusts.
