Privately Held Company
A privately held company (or simply a private company) is a company whose shares and related rights or obligations are not offered for public subscription or publicly negotiated in the respective listed markets, but rather the company's stock is offered, owned, traded, exchanged privately, or Over-the-counter (finance), over-the-counter. In the case of a closed corporation, there are a relatively small number of shareholders or company members. Related terms are closely-held corporation, unquoted company, and unlisted company. Though less visible than their public company, publicly traded counterparts, private companies have major importance in the world's economy. In 2008, the 441 list of largest private non-governmental companies by revenue, largest private companies in the United States accounted for ($1.8 trillion) in revenues and employed 6.2 million people, according to ''Forbes''. In 2005, using a substantially smaller pool size (22.7%) for comparison, the 339 companies on ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Black Watch 37
Black is a color which results from the absence or complete absorption of visible light. It is an achromatic color, without hue, like white and grey. It is often used symbolically or figuratively to represent darkness. Black and white have often been used to describe opposites such as good and evil, the Dark Ages versus Age of Enlightenment, and night versus day. Since the Middle Ages, black has been the symbolic color of solemnity and authority, and for this reason it is still commonly worn by judges and magistrates. Black was one of the first colors used by artists in Neolithic cave paintings. It was used in ancient Egypt and Greece as the color of the underworld. In the Roman Empire, it became the color of mourning, and over the centuries it was frequently associated with death, evil, witches, and magic. In the 14th century, it was worn by royalty, clergy, judges, and government officials in much of Europe. It became the color worn by English romantic poets, businessme ...

Tartan 31
Tartan ( gd, breacan ) is a patterned cloth consisting of criss-crossed, horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colours. Tartans originated in woven wool, but now they are made in other materials. Tartan is particularly associated with Scotland, as Scottish kilts almost always have tartan patterns. Tartan is made with alternating bands of coloured (pre-dyed) threads woven as both warp (weaving), warp and Warp and woof, weft at right angles to each other. The weft is woven in a simple twill, two over—two under the warp, advancing one thread at each pass. This pattern forms visible diagonal lines where different colours cross, which give the appearance of new colours blended from the original ones. The resulting blocks of colour repeat vertically and horizontally in a distinctive pattern of squares and lines known as a ''sett''. Tartan is often called "plaid" (particularly in North America), because in Scotland, a ''Full plaid, plaid'' is a large piece of tartan cloth, wor ...

Tartan 27-2
The Tartan 27-2 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Sparkman & Stephens as a cruiser and first built in 1976. The Tartan 27-2 is a development of the Tartan 27 sloop and the Tartan 27 Yawl, with a raised sheer line, redesigned coach house and interior changes. The majority of Tartan 27s were produced with a masthead sloop rig, and a small number were produced with a yawl rig. Production The boat was built by Tartan Marine, in Painesville, Ohio, from 1976 until 1979, with 64 boats completed. Design The Tartan 27-2 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig or optional yawl rig, a raked stem, an angled transom, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed modified long keel with a cutaway forefoot and a retractable centerboard. It displaces and carries of ballast. The design has a draft of with the centerboard extended and with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow wa ...

Tartan 27
The Tartan 27 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Sparkman & Stephens as a cruiser- racer and first built in 1961. It is Sparkman & Stephens' design #1617. The design was developed into the Tartan 27 Yawl in 1961 and the Tartan 27-2 in 1976. Production The design was initially built by Douglass & McLeod in the United States, starting in 1961. Douglass & McLeod's production ended when their Grand River, Ohio factory burned down in 1971. Production was then taken over by a new company, Tartan Marine, established in neighboring Painesville, Ohio, in 1971. The Tartan 27 was the new company's first product, as well as the inspiration for the corporate name. Production of the Tartan 27 continued at Tartan Marine until 1980, a 19-year production run. W. D. Schock Corp also built 24 of the boats between 1964 and 1968 in their California plant to serve the US west coast market. In total 712 boats were completed by the time production ended.

Tartan 27 Yawl
The Tartan 27 Yawl is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Sparkman & Stephens as a cruiser and first built in 1961. The Tartan 27 Yawl is a development of the Tartan 27 sloop, with a shorter main mast and the addition of a mizzen mast with a sail of mounted in the lazarette. The Tartan 27 series was developed into the Tartan 27-2 in 1976. Darrell Nicholson of ''Practical Sailor'', noted of the Tartan 27 Yawl, "a small number of 27s, for what we assume was quaintness rather than any practical reason, were rigged as yawls with handkerchief-sized mizzens on a mast stepped into the lazarette." Production Production was initially by Douglass & McLeod at their Grand River, Ohio factory, starting in 1961 and ending in 1971 when the plant burned down. Production was then assumed by a new company, Tartan Marine, established in nearby Painesville, Ohio, in 1971. Only about 25 Tartan 27 Yawls were built.

Tartan Ten
The Tartan Ten, also called the Tartan 10, is an American sailboat that was designed by Sparkman & Stephens as a one-design racer and first built in 1978.Sherwood, Richard M.: ''A Field Guide to Sailboats of North America, Second Edition'', pages 262-263. Houghton Mifflin Company, 1994. The Tartan Ten design was developed into the LS-10 in the early 2000s. Production The design was built by Tartan Marine in the United States. The company produced 400 examples of the type between 1978 and 1988, but it is now out of production. Design The Tartan Ten is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with aluminum spars.

Tangent One
In geometry, the tangent line (or simply tangent) to a plane curve at a given point is the straight line that "just touches" the curve at that point. Leibniz defined it as the line through a pair of infinitely close points on the curve. More precisely, a straight line is said to be a tangent of a curve at a point if the line passes through the point on the curve and has slope , where ''f'' is the derivative of ''f''. A similar definition applies to space curves and curves in ''n''-dimensional Euclidean space. As it passes through the point where the tangent line and the curve meet, called the point of tangency, the tangent line is "going in the same direction" as the curve, and is thus the best straight-line approximation to the curve at that point. The tangent line to a point on a differentiable curve can also be thought of as a ''tangent line approximation'', the graph of the affine function that best approximates the original function at the given point.
