Incoterms: FAS, FOB, CIP, and CPT

What kind of cargo is used for FAS? Why?

Containers are used for FAS because the goods are carried on board a ship.

Which are the two possible cases of delivery for FCA?

• When the goods have been loaded on the transport designated by the buyer or by a person acting on its behalf.
• When the goods are made available to the seller's carrier transport, without being discharged.

Allocation of Costs and Risk for FAS and FOB

The seller is required to deliver the goods alongside the actual ship on the pier. From that point forward, the buyer bears all costs (loading cost, freight, insurance) and risks. Under FAS terms, the buyer is required to clear the goods for export and pay the cost of loading the goods.

Free Consent

Free Consent, as defined in Section 13, occurs when "two or more persons agree upon the same thing and in the same sense."

For example, if A agrees to sell his car to B, but A intends to sell his Maruti while B believes he is buying A's Honda, there is no consent because they haven't agreed on the same thing in the same sense. Consequently, there is no contract.

Section 14 states that consent is considered free when it is not caused or affected by the following:

• Coercion
• Undue Influence
• Fraud
• Misrepresentation
• Mistake

Coercion (Section 15)

Coercion involves using force or threats to compel a person to enter into a contract. The consent obtained under coercion is not free.

Undue Influence (Section 16)

Fundamentals of HVAC Duct Systems

• Pressure Measurement: Duct system pressure is measured in inches of water column (in. WC).
• Blower Function: The blower creates pressure to force air through the duct system, conditioning equipment, and into the room.
• Atmospheric Pressure: Standard atmospheric pressure is 14.696 psi.
• Manometer Usage: A manometer measures air velocity pressure in a duct.
• Airflow Measurement Tools: Anemometers or velometers are commonly used to measure airflow in air distribution systems.
• Airflow Check: Airflow can be checked by feeling it 2-3 feet from a register.
• Forced-Air vs. Natural-Draft: Forced-air systems use a blower, unlike natural-draft systems.
• Duct Pressure Components: Duct pressure equals velocity pressure plus static pressure.

Systematic Sampling: Type of Probability Sampling Method

In systematic sampling, sample members from a larger population are selected according to a random starting point but with a fixed, periodic interval. The sampling interval, calculated by dividing the population size by the desired sample size, determines the selection.

Oversampling: Techniques to Adjust Class Distribution

Oversampling is a data analysis technique used to adjust the class distribution of a data set, ensuring a balanced representation of different classes/categories.

1. 1. 1. What is leadership? How has it shifted from the old to new paradigm. 

      An influence relationship among leaders and followers who intend real changes and outcomes that reflect their shared purpose. The changes are from stabilizer to change manager. From Controller to facilitator. The shift is that effective leaders share power instead of hoarding it. The focus moves toward employees and more empathy.
