Bodyguards act as a shield for the potential target, keeping lookout for potential attackers ( sometimes in advance, for example on a parade route ), and putting themselves in harm's way — both by simple presence, showing that physical force is available to protect the target, and by shielding the target during any attack.

The potential energy is useful, for example, in understanding the concavity of the water surface in a rotating bucket.

For example, in a trick-taking game it may be easier to have all one's cards of the same suit together, whereas in a rummy game one might sort them by rank or by potential combinations.

This is crucial in assessing the sensitivity and potential accuracy difficulties of numerous computational problems, for example polynomial root finding or computing eigenvalues.

For example, if a person dies at the age of 65 from a disease, and would probably have lived until age 80 without that disease, then that disease has caused a loss of 15 years of potential life.

* Morse code uses six digital states — dot, dash, intra-character gap ( between each dot or dash ), short gap ( between each letter ), medium gap ( between words ), and long gap ( between sentences )— to send messages via a variety of potential carriers such as electricity or light, for example using an electrical telegraph or a flashing light.

If there is a change in the potential energy of a system ; for example μ < sub > 1 </ sub >> μ < sub > 2 </ sub > ( μ is Chemical potential ) an energy flow will occur from S < sub > 1 </ sub > to S < sub > 2 </ sub >, because nature always prefers low energy and maximum entropy.

In a competitive labour market for example the quantity of labour employed and the price of labour ( the wage rate ) depends on the demand for labour ( from employers for production ) and supply of labour ( from potential workers ).

This wavelength, for example, is equal to 0. 0037 nm for electrons accelerated across a 100, 000-volt potential.

If the electrode has a positive potential with respect to the SHE, then that means it is a strongly reducing electrode which forces the SHE to be the anode ( an example is Cu in aqueous CuSO < sub > 4 </ sub > with a standard electrode potential of 0. 337 V ).

For example, the standard electrode potential for a copper electrode is:

Some motors are powered by potential energy, for example some funiculars, gravity plane and ropeway conveyors have used potential energy of water or rocks, and some clocks have a weight that falls under gravity.

A simple example of potential energy is the work needed to lift an object in a gravity field, up to a support.

For example, all types of potential energy are converted into kinetic energy when the objects are given freedom to move to different position ( as for example, when an object falls off a support ).

Most free verse, for example, self-evidently continues to observe a convention of the poetic line in some sense, at least in written representations, though retaining a potential degree of linkage, however nebulous, with more traditional forms.

This inevitably reduced the potential duration of campaigns, as a large portion of any Greek army would need to return to their own professions ( especially in the case of farmers, for example ).

For example, potential foreign investors and their executive staff cannot maintain own bank accounts in Indonesia, unless they are tax-paying local residents ( paying tax in Indonesia for their worldwide income ).

Ivory-billed Woodpecker sighting analysis is considered by some to be a good example of cryptozoology's potential application in modern zoology.

At a regional level, groups of states can create political and legal bodies with sometimes complicated patchworks of overlapping provisions detailing the jurisdictional relationships between the member states and providing for some degree of harmonization between their national legislative and judicial functions, for example, the European Union and African Union both have the potential to become federated states although the political barriers to such unification in the face of entrenched nationalism will be very difficult to overcome.

For example, the delay in asserting the claim may have caused a great increase in the potential damages to be awarded, or assets that could earlier have been used to satisfy the claim may have been distributed in the meantime, or the property in question may already have been sold, or evidence or testimony may no longer be available to defend against the claim.

It contained, for example, a number of curious admissions about the peasants, who enjoy no sickness benefits, no old-age pensions, no paid holidays ; ;

Tiffany & Co., for example, pays directors an annual retainer of $ 46, 500, an additional annual retainer of $ 2, 500 if the director is also a chairperson of a committee, a per-meeting-attended fee of $ 2, 000 for meetings attended in person, a $ 500 fee for each meeting attended via telephone, in addition to stock options and retirement benefits.

Ricardo, for example, expressed doubt that the removal of grain tariffs advocated by Richard Cobden and the Anti-Corn Law League would have any general benefits.

His depiction of how members of the council were elected to the senate, for example, aimed to emphasise the way the electoral system prevented factionalism from occurring, instead making sure that “ public benefits are largely extended among the citizens ” rather than narrowly amongst “ one family ”.

Europe meanwhile decided to reap the benefits of its post – Cold War peace dividend and instead supported the development of international law, for example through the International Criminal Court.

This policy has often been cited by economists such as Milton Friedman and the Cato Institute as an example of the benefits of laissez-faire capitalism.

For example, Gramlich ( 1976 ) found that many of the benefits went to higher income families, and in particular that teenagers were made worse off by the unemployment associated with the minimum wage.

This is an example of the reciprocal benefits of trade due to a comparative advantage.

Hence, if social security benefits are portable, contributors to, for example, old-age pension schemes do not experience any disadvantage such as the loss of contributions and benefits associated with these contributions when moving from one job to another, from one occupation to another, or from the public to the private sector.

For example, it is not considered perjury to lie about one's age unless age is a factor in determining the legal result, such as eligibility for old age retirement benefits.

Since people want to get the most useful products at the lowest price, they will judge the benefits of a certain object ( for example, how useful is it or how attractive is it ) compared to similar objects.

For example, Eysenck ( 1973 ) reports that personality influences whether we focus on what might go wrong or on potential benefits ; Nicholson et al.

Robertson, in particular, believed that turning German spies against their masters would have numerous benefits ; for example what information the Abwehr wanted or to actively mislead them as part of a military deception.

For example, in Canada and India the fiscal year runs from April 1 ; in the United Kingdom it runs from April 1 for purposes of corporation tax and government financial statements, but from April 6 for purposes of personal taxation and payment of state benefits ; in Australia it runs from July 1 ; while in the United States the fiscal year of the federal government runs from October 1.

This situation is an example of mutualism in which the hippo benefits from the cleansing while the fish receive food.

The clean-up costs of hazardous waste, for example, may outweigh the benefits of a product that creates it.

Most of the features listed below have significant benefits for those writing more than example programs.

For example, whereas one of the benefits of the gold standard is that the intrinsic limitations to the growth of the money supply by the use of gold or silver would prevent inflation, if the growth of population or increase in trade outpaces the money supply, there would be no way to counteract deflation and reduced liquidity ( and any attendant recession ) except for the mining of more gold or silver under a gold or silver standard.

The social capital they accumulated because of this participation had individual benefits for them, and created collective benefits through different routes, for example: their agricultural practices were better than those of the families without participation ( they had more information about agrochemicals, fertilizers and seeds ); they had more information about the market ; they were prepared to take more risks, because being part of a social network made them feel more protected ; they had an influence on the improvement of public services, showing a bigger level of participation in schools ; they cooperated more in the municipality level.

A pollution tax that reduces pollution to the socially " optimal " level would be set at such a level that pollution occurs only if the benefits to society ( for example, in form of greater production ) exceeds the costs.

Measuring the exact fitness benefit to the individuals in a mutualistic relationship is not always straightforward, particularly when the individuals can receive benefits from a variety of species, for example most plant-pollinator mutualisms.

For example, we see in Figure 170 that the married worker earning $ 95, 000 is estimated to get net benefits of $ 393, 000, while the single worker earning $ 5, 000 is estimated to get $ 277, 000.

For example, individuals who are vaccinated reduce the risk of contracting the relevant disease for all others around them, and at high levels of vaccination, society may receive large health and welfare benefits ; but any one individual can refuse vaccination, still avoiding the disease by " free riding " on the costs borne by others.
