Whois & Analysis for rivetsonline.com

A rivet is a permanent mechanical fastener.

Before being installed, a rivet consists of a smooth cylindrical shaft with a head on one end.

The end opposite to the head is called the tail.

On installation the rivet is placed in a punched or drilled hole, and the tail is upset, or bucked (i.e., deformed), so that it expands to about 1.5 times the original shaft diameter, holding the rivet in place.

In other words, pounding creates a new "head" on the other end by smashing the "tail" material flatter, resulting in a rivet that is roughly a dumbbell shape.

To distinguish between the two ends of the rivet, the original head is called the factory head and the deformed end is called the shop head or buck-tail.

A corporation is a company or group of people authorized to act as a single entity (legally a person) and recognized as such in law.

Early incorporated entities were established by charter (i.e. by an ad hoc act granted by a monarch or passed by a parliament or legislature).

Most jurisdictions now allow the creation of new corporations through registration.

The stock (also capital stock) of a corporation is constituted of the equity stock of its owners.

A single share of the stock represents fractional ownership of the corporation in proportion to the total number of shares.

In liquidation, the stock represents the residual assets of the company that would be due to stockholders after discharge of all senior claims such as secured and unsecured debt.

Stockholders' equity cannot be withdrawn from the company in a way that is intended to be detrimental to the company's creditors.

A nation (from Latin: natio, "people, tribe, kin, genus, class, flock") is a large group or collective of people with common characteristics attributed to them — including language, traditions, mores (customs), habitus (habits), and ethnicity.

By comparison, a nation is more impersonal, abstract, and overtly political than an ethnic group.

It is a cultural-political community that has become conscious of its autonomy, unity, and particular interests.

Trade, or commerce, involves the transfer of goods and/or services from one person or entity to another, often in exchange for money.

A network that allows trade is called a market.
