A socket wrench is a type of wrench that uses removable sockets to grip and turn nuts or bolts of different sizes. It consists of a handle with a drive fitting onto which various types or sizes of sockets can be attached, making it versatile and adaptable for a wide range of tasks. The socket fits over the nut or bolt and the wrench provides leverage for turning. Most socket wrenches also include a ratchet mechanism that allows the handle to turn the socket continuously without having to remove and re-position it.

A meat tenderizer, or meat pounder is a hand-powered tool used to tenderize slabs of meat in the preparation for cooking. Although a meat tenderizer can be made out of virtually any object, there are three types manufactured specifically for tenderizing meat.

The first, most common, is a tool that resembles a hammer or mallet made of metal or wood with a short handle and dual heads. One face of the tool is usually flat while the other has rows of pyramid-shaped tenderizers.
The second form resembles a potato masher with a short handle and a large metal face that is either smooth or adorned with the same pyramid-shaped tenderizers as found in the first form.
The third form is a blade tenderizer that has a series of blades or nails that are designed to puncture the meat and cut into the fibers of the muscle.Tenderizing meat with the mallet softens the fibers, making the meat easier to chew and to digest. It is useful when preparing particularly tough cuts of steak, and works well when broiling or frying the meat. It is also used to pound out dishes such as chicken-fried steak, palomilla, and schnitzel, to make them wider and thinner.

Armeria maritima is the botanical name for a species of flowering plant.
It is a popular garden flower, known by several common names, including thrift, sea thrift, and sea pink. The plant has been distributed worldwide as a garden and cut flower. It does well in gardens designed as xeriscapes or rock gardens.
It is a compact perennial which grows in low clumps and sends up long stems from which globes of bright pink flowers blossom. In some cases purple, white or red flowers also occur.
The plant can be found in the wild in coastal areas across the Northern Hemisphere, especially in Europe, but also occurs in parts of South America. It is a common sight in British marshes. It can grow in dry, sandy, saline conditions such as those at beaches and salt marshes.
Armeria maritima has a great copper-tolerance, and is able to grow in soils with copper concentrations of up to 6400 mg/kg. One mechanism proposed is that not much copper is transported up the shoot of the plant, and is excreted from decaying leaves. Some of the physiology and metabolism of this species has been described, of particular note is how the metabolism of this species is altered with elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations.

Gin is a type of distilled alcoholic spirit characterized by its flavor derived predominantly from juniper berries. Originating from the Netherlands and reaching popularity in Great Britain, gin is typically made from grain mash like barley or corn which is then redistilled with botanicals, primarily juniper. Its often used as a base for cocktails but can also be consumed on its own. It, in most contexts, is a pronoun used to refer to a thing previously mentioned or easily identified. However, if it is referred to along with gin (as in gin and it), it could be signifying a combination of gin and something else, usually a mixer or another ingredient. The exact meaning depends on the context in which its used.

In common law jurisdictions, an implied warranty is a contract law term for certain assurances that are presumed to be made in the sale of products or real property, due to the circumstances of the sale. These assurances are characterized as warranties regardless of whether the seller has expressly promised them orally or in writing. They include an implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose, an implied warranty of merchantability for products, implied warranty of workmanlike quality for services, and an implied warranty of habitability for a home.
The warranty of merchantability is implied, unless expressly disclaimed by name, or the sale is identified with the phrase as is or with all faults. To be merchantable, the goods must reasonably conform to an ordinary buyers expectations, i.e., they are what they say they are. For example, a fruit that looks and smells good but has hidden defects would violate the implied warranty of merchantability if its quality does not meet the standards for such fruit as passes ordinarily in the trade. In Massachusetts consumer protection law, it is illegal to disclaim this warranty on household goods sold to consumers.
The warranty of fitness for a particular purpose is implied when a buyer relies upon the seller to select the goods to fit a specific request. For example, this warranty is violated when a buyer asks a mechanic to provide snow tires and receives tires that are unsafe to use in snow. This implied warranty can also be expressly disclaimed by name, thereby shifting the risk of unfitness back to the buyer.
Another implied warranty is the warranty of title, which implies that the seller of goods has the right to sell them (e.g., they are not stolen, or patent infringements, or already sold to someone else). Theoretically, this saves a buyer from having to pay twice for a product, if it is confiscated by the rightful owner, but only if the seller can be found and makes restitution.
