	Umbrella - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Umbrella is another term for the parasol, which was first used as a protection against the scorching heat of the sun, "para" meaning prepare or shield and "sol" meaning sun.
		In the Scirophoria, the feast of Athene Sciras, a white parasol was borne by the priestesses of the goddess from the Acropolis to the Phalerus.
		Consequently, the ombrellino or umbracullum, the papal umbrella, is found in the arms of a sede vacante (the papal arms used between the death of a pope and the election of his successor), and can be used in the arms of a basilica.

		The original concept of the umbrella policy was to provide additional limits over the limits of the insured's primary policies and to serve as a substitute for the primary policy whose aggregate limit has been reduced or exhausted.
		The umbrella policy's distinguishing characteristic was that it provided coverage that is broader in some ways than the underlying policies or those liability policies specifically scheduled on the umbrella policy.
		The umbrella policy cannot even be said to be an excess policy, because there are instances where the primary policy applies but the umbrella policy does not.

		Umbrellas and PassThroughs are companies that group consultants together in a single entity or "package" with which clients and brokers can more comfortably do business due to tax, legal, insurance, or similar considerations.

		"The term Islamist was adapted from the French term Islamiste, replacing the term Islamicist that was previously in use in the English language.
		Islamism is an umbrella term commonly applied to a variety of Islamic movements that are actually quite diverse.
		Aside from the term's utility as an umbrella term where it is unclear to what theory a particular group or individual subscribes, lumping together very different groups under the heading of Islamism can lead to confusion by implying that Wahhabism, the Taliban and the Salafis of al-Qaeda constitute an ideologically homogeneous wing of Islam.

		The term initially referred to individuals, like Prince, who lived full-time in a social role not typically associated with their natal sex, but who did not resort to genital surgery as a means of supporting their gender presentation.
		The term is often thought to represent a post-modern epistemological framework that posits a break between the "signifier" of gender and the "sign" or "referent" of bodily sex, and it is rejected or embraced on that basis.
		The primary divisions cluster around whether the universalizing potential of the term obscures meaningful differences between various specific forms and locations of gender atypicality, or whether the minoritizing potential of the term disables meaningful action and analysis rooted in a more systemic critique of social structures.

		However, it is important to use the same term for the different categories of fish within the region that are included in the umbrella term - low value/trash fish.

	[No title]
		Because previously, the term "CFS" was used by scientists too loosely, and many diverse, sometimes unrelated diseases (everything from depression to viral cardiomyopathy) were published on with the name "CFS" in the title of the article.
		As Hillary Johnson pointed out years ago, the term "chronic" turns doctors away, causes medical journals to shun publicationing on a disease, and hints at "chronic whiny women." "Dysfunction" is no better, and might lead to an interpretaion of "that chronic dysfunctional family of illnesses." The term is a disaster.
		I believe that because this term is more concise and elegant, it will have greater influence with the medical and research community, and serve as a better umbrella term under which to place ME and other subsets.

		As it transpires, the administration was aware of North Korea's nuclear development when it asked to fold the nuclear umbrella and completely hid the fact from the public.
		Third, government officials said the reason why the request for eliminating the term was made was that North Korea promised to give up its nuclear program in the six-party talks on its nuclear program in September last year, just before the SCM.
