River Rock

‘River rock’ is a diverse collection of stones that have been naturally ‘smoothed and rounded’ over time by the flow of river-water. These rocks are characterized by their “textured flat surfaces” and a wide range of imperfections, giving each stone a unique look. Their colors vary from “white, grey, tan, and brown” to ‘deeper shades of red,’ making them versatile for a large number of applications.

Credit_Union

Apple Federal Credit Union

“Apple Federal Credit Union” (Apple FCU), founded in 1956, has grown into one of the top 100 credit unions in the United States. It serves approximately 245,000 members and manages an impressive ‘$4.4 billion’ in assets. Members own “credit unions” (which are non-profit financial cooperatives). Joining a credit union, such as Apple FCU, entitles you to “membership and shares” in the organization.

Election

Presidential Election

The people do not directly elect the USA “president and vice president.” Rather, the Electoral College process is used to select them. There is no physical location for the Electoral College. To win the “presidential election,” a candidate must receive the support of “at least 270 Electors,” or “more than half of the total electorate” of the Electoral College.

Art the Clown

‘Art the Clown’ (also called ‘The Miles County Clown’) is a ‘fictional horror character’ featured in the Terrifier film series, created by Damien Leone. The short films ‘The 9th Circle’ (2008) and Terrifier (2011) featured the character’s debut. These short films laid the groundwork for Art’s “creepy persona,” eventually leading to “his iconic role in All Hallows’ Eve (2013)” and his subsequent rise to ‘horror stardom’ in the Terrifier series.

“Try on hauls” are videos that highlight recent purchases of “apparel or accessories” by the makers, trying them on and talking about each item. They are typically found on social media sites like ‘YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram.’ During a ‘try-on haul,’ the maker usually gives their thoughts on each item’s “fit, quality, feel, look, and intended styling.”

Non emergency

“Non emergency” refers to situations or conditions that do not pose an immediate threat to ‘life, health, property, or the environment’ and do not require urgent attention. In contrast to emergency, ‘non emergency’ situations can be handled more cohesively, allowing time to “schedule services, make decisions, or plan responses.”

Ford Blue Cruise

Ford BlueCruise is a driver-assist feature (a "hands-free highway driving feature") available on pre-approved Hands-Free Blue Zones, which are sections of split highways. Safe driving is “not” substituted by it. Driver-assist features are an addition to driving; they do not take the place of a driver's judgement, attention, or requirement for vehicle control.
