Wikify date April 2011 orphan date March 2010 The No Net Cost Tobacco Act of 1982 P.L. 97 218 required that the Tobacco Price Support Program operate at no net cost to taxpayers, other than for the administrative expenses common to all price support programs. To satisfy this mandate, sellers and buyers including importers of tobacco were assessed equally to build a capital account that was drawn upon to reimburse the Commodity Credit Corporation CCC for any losses of principal and interest resulting from nonrecourse loan operations. Other provisions of this law provided for reducing the level of support for tobacco and made various modifications to the marketing quota and acreage allotment programs. No net cost assessments ended when price support was terminated after the 2004 crop.

A lave net is a type of fishing net used in river estuary estuaries , particularly in the Severn Estuary in Wales and England to catch salmon . File Lave net.jpg thumb Fisherman carrying a lave net The lave net is a Y shaped structure consisting of two arms called rimes made from willow, which act as a frame work to the loosely hung net. The handle is called the rock staff and is made of ash or willow. The arms are hinged to the rock staff and are kept in position while fishing with a wooden spreader called the headboard . Fishermen wade out at low tide with lave nets on their shoulders to the fishing grounds, with the water up to their waists. The net is then opened and lowered into the outgoing tide which rushes through the net. With his fingers placed at the bottom meshes of the net, the fisherman then waits for the fish to hit the net. The last lave net fishermen in Wales promote the fishery as a tourist attraction at Black Rock, Portskewett , with the aim of maintaining its history and tradition. Demonstrations of lave net fishing can be watched on certain days from the picnic site at Black Rock. ref http www.blackrocklavenets.co.uk index.html Black Rock Lavenets website ref On the English side of the Severn, lave net fishing was practised for centuries at Oldbury on Severn . In the 1990s the fishery declined because the fishing stations silted up, claimed by the fishermen to be a result of slower tides caused by the construction of the Second Severn Crossing . ref http www.independent.co.uk life style duff hartdavis 1272924.html The Independent 15 March 1997 ref In the past, sturgeon have also been caught in lave nets. ref http www.glaucus.org.uk Sturgen2.htm Did Sturgeon Ever Breed in British Waters? , by Alan Knight ref References Notes Reflist External links http www.museumwales.ac.uk en rhagor article 1923 National Museum Wales spacing fishing tackle expanded techniques Category Fishing techniques and methods Category River Severn ... more details
No net cost is a requirement that certain commodity programs operate at no net cost to the federal government. The No Net Cost Tobacco Act of 1982 P.L. 97 218 required an assessment on 1982 and subsequent tobacco crops to cover potential tobacco price support program losses. The 1985 farm bill P.L. 99 198 required that USDA operate the sugar program for the first time at no cost a provision repealed by the 1996 farm bill P.L. 104 127 and reinstated by the 2002 farm bill P.L. 107 171, Sec. 1401 a . The 1996 changes to the peanut price support program were designed to ensure that it also operated at no cost. Subsequently, the peanut program was completely changed by the 2002 farm bill , but not in a manner to make it no net cost.

.NET metadata , in the Microsoft .NET framework, refers to certain data structures embedded within the Common Intermediate Language code that describes the high level structure of the code. Metadata describes all class computer science classes and class members that are defined in the assembly, and the classes and class Method computer science members that the current assembly will call from another assembly. The metadata for a method contains the complete description of the method, including the class and the assembly that contains the class , the return type and all of the method parameter computer science parameter s. A .NET language compiler will generate the metadata and store this in the .NET assemblies assembly containing the Common Intermediate Language CIL . When the Common Language Runtime CLR executes CIL it will check to make sure that the metadata of the called method is the same as the metadata that is stored in the calling method. This ensures that a method can only be called with exactly the right number of parameters and exactly the right parameter types.

In telecommunications , net gain is the overall gain of a transmission telecommunications transmission Telecommunication circuit circuit . Net gain is measured by applying a test Signalling telecommunication signal at an appropriate Power physics power level see Note 5 at the input Computer port hardware port of a circuit and measuring the power delivered at the output port. The net gain in decibel dB is calculated by taking 10 times the common logarithm of the ratio of the output power to the input power. The net gain expressed in dB may be positive or negative. If the net gain expressed in dB is negative, it is also called the net loss . If the net gain is expressed as a ratio, and the ratio is less than unity, a net loss is indicated. The test signal must be chosen so that its power level is within the usual operating range of the circuit being tested.

Net assets , sometimes referred to as net worth , is the shareholders equity assets minus liabilities. Net assets mean the owners equity or with other words shareholders equity in a company Balance sheet . The logic behind to use the term Net assets instead of Shareholders equity is that, by definition of Financial Accounting Standards Board FASB net assets is what residual value left for company owners after deduction all liabilities from all assets. In normal case Net assets equal or means the same as Shareholders equity. But, for instance, in the case of insolvency or when Shareholders equity or book values do not reflect at all the real values or market value , the creditors valuate i.e. determine the market value the company assets and liabilities. Both values can be very different from book values . In this case it is more accurate to speak about Net assets i.e. assets minus liabilities than Shareholders equity. If net assets are negative, then an entity is balance sheet insolvent . The term net assets is commonly used with charities or not for profit entities a measurement of their ability to reinvest profits toward their mission. You should not mix up Net assets in comparison with Return On Net Assets RONA . RONA is Net income Fixed assets Working capital . It is a measure of financial performance of a company.
