Real wealth has intrinsic value but may or may not have a market price. Examples include fertile land, healthful food, knowledge, productive labor, pure water and clean air, physical infrastructure, caring relationships, education, and health care. Financial wealth is measured in dollars and cents. Money, however, has no intrinsic value. Wall Street generates it in astonishing quantities through accounting tricks, financial bubbles, and debt pyramids. It appears from nowhere and can disappear in an instant, as a phantom in the night. It is still only a number with no existence outside the human mind.

What is the difference between preservative and primer to wood?
Wood preservative is a chemical that will soak a good way into the wood surface and will have bacterial and fungicidal properties. It may also contain UV inhibitors and may be water repellent. The purpose of a wood preservative is to stop exposed wood form rotting.
A wood primer is a chemical that is applied to the surface of the wood and is intended to adhere well to the wood surface on one side and any undercoat paint applied on top. Sometimes the primer contains components designed to fill the grain of the wood so that when sanded down a smooth finish is obtained (sometimes these grain fillers are used before the primer). The purpose of a primer is to ensure that the paint coat does not peel off painted wood.

What is the difference between loss and lost?
When do we really use each one of them?
LOSE(v.)

LOSS(n)
This is a noun form and can be used as a subject, object, or a complement.

LOOSE(adj.)
Loose is an adjective and is used to describe something.

2. His pet dog is on a loose. (break free)
The use of a word is based upon its role in a sentence-how it is used in context.

The key is to identify the words function in a sentence and then find out which word fits the role.

While for most practical purposes a provisional receipt may suffice, it is always prudent to ensure the final confirmed receipt as early as possible.
What is the difference between the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth?
Let's imagine you are a prosecuting attorney who has put a man on trial whom you believe murdered his cheating wife with a handgun. In reality, the man was an accomplice who hired another man to sneak into the house and shoot his wife while she was working late in the home office and the husband was in bed. Now, you have him on the stand and under oath to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
The Truth:
You: Sir, what happened on the night your wife was killed?
Murderer: A man entered our home and shot her.
The Whole Truth:
You: Sir, what happened on the night your wife was killed?
Murderer: A man whom I hired to kill my wife entered our home and shot her.
The Truth Mixed with Untruth:
You: Sir, what happened on the night your wife was killed?
Murderer: A man whom I hired to kill my wife entered our home and shot her. However, I turned the porch light off to signal to him--as we had previously agreed--that the job was cancelled because I had forgiven my wife for cheating on me. But, one of the kids turned the light back on, so he ended up killing her anyway.
In the final statement the husband tells a lie in order to reduce his culpability to the crime. In this case he is telling the truth and up to the point where he tells the lie about the porth light, it is the whole truth. But, his statement cannot be said to contain nothing but the truth.

An account is how much money you have in a bank to pay bills.
What are the difference between sustainable development and human rights?
Sustainability refers to a human economy and society whose cumulative effects do not crash the biosphere-the planet's life support "operating" system and primary economy, that is, do not violate the ecological integrity of the biosphere.
Sustainable development refers to the economic and societal development path to get from the unsustainable human economy we have now to ultimate sustainability.
Although it is possible to imagine a sustainable economy that does not respect human rights, it is unlikely that a sustainable society could be based on any structural and systematic violation of human rights.
In addition, many instances of unsustainable practices are driven, in the first instance, by human rights violations, that is barriers to people meeting their human needs or otherwise degrading peoples' health and well-being.
It is also unlikely that the society that would perpetuate structural and systematic human rights violations could conceive of the threats and challenges of sustainability in a way sufficient for generating a development path to sustainability success.
Sustainable development and sustainability will require both tapping the collective intelligence of all people, cultures, and ethnicity and their transformation for sustainability. This is impossible without the condition of human rights for all.
In fact, it could be summarized that as ecological integrity is the cornerstone of a sustainable economy, human-rights integrity is the cornerstone of a sustainable society served by that sustainable economy.
Thus, human rights can be seen as the social dimension and integral component of the ecologic-economic integrity required for sustainable development and ultimate sustainability.

What is the difference between downsizing and retrenchment?
Rightsizing is a more applicable term for optimizing employee numbers and positions to make a company more efficient and profitable. It could even describe when a company increases the total number of employees, contrary to common belief.
Downsizing generally involves reducing the total number of people employed in an organization in an attempt to make the business more efficient and profitable, although that is not necessarily the result.
Rightsizing is a better definition for the company's goals for optimum employment characteristics, and is more politically correct. A company could downsize and still reduce profitability through employment choices.
