Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Annum shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Annum offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Annum at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Annum? Wrong! If the Annum is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Annum then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Annum? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Annum and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.
6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Annum wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.
7. Feedback - happy with your Annum then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.
8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Annum site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site
9. Contact - got a question about Annum, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.
10. Payment - ready to pay for your Annum, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.
Annum is a
Latin noun meaning year. It is the
accusative Grammatical number of the second
declension masculine noun
annus (nominative),
anni (genitive) .
As a unit of time, it is defined as exactly 365.25 days (that is, the average length of a year in the
Julian calendar) of 86,400 SI seconds each, representing the duration of one revolution of the Earth around the Sun. Although there is no universally accepted symbol for the year, NIST National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 811,
Guide for the Use of the International System of Units (SI), (1995) and ISO 31-1 International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 31-1,
Quantities and units — Part 1: Space and time, Geneva, Switzerland (1992) suggest the symbol
a (in the International System of Units
a is also the symbol for the are unit of area, but context is usually enough to disambiguate). In English, the deprecated abbreviation
yr is still frequently used.
The
Unified Code for Units of Measure Unified Code for Units of Measure disambiguates the symbology by using
ar for are, and:
at = a_t = 365.24219 d for the mean
tropical year
aj = a_j = 365.25
d for the mean
Julian year
ag = a_g = 365.2425
d for the mean
Gregorian year
a = 1 aj year (without further qualifier)
- Per annum means "yearly".
- kiloannum, usual symbol ka, is a millennium one thousand years.
- megaannum, usual symbol Ma, is a unit of time equal to one million (106) years. It is commonly used in scientific disciplines such as geology, paleontology, and celestial mechanics to signify very long time periods in the past. For example, the dinosaur species Tyrannosaurus rex was abundant approximately 65 Ma (65 million years) ago (ago may not always be mentioned; if the quantity is specified while not explicitly discussing a duration, one can assume that "ago" is implied; "mya (unit)" includes "ago" explicitly.). In astronomical applications, the year used is the Julian year (astronomy) of precisely 365.25 days.
- gigaannum, usual symbol Ga, is a unit of time equal to one 1000000000 (number) (109) years. It is commonly used in scientific disciplines such as physical cosmology and geology to signify extremely long time periods in the past. For example, the formation of the Earth occurred approximately 4.57 Ga (4.57 billion years) ago.
- exaannum, usual symbol Ea, is a unit of time equal to (1018) years (one quintillion on the short scale, one trillion on the long scale). It is an extremely long unit of time. The half-life of tungsten-180 is 1.8 Ea.
On hyphenation
The use of the hyphen in
SI is reserved for the infrequent practice of combining prefixes, e.g.
deca-kiloannum. It is not used in the fashion of
kilo-annum.
Deprecated units
- bya - Formerly used for Ga (ago)
- byr - Formerly used for Ga (either elapsed or ago)
- mya - Formerly used for Ma (ago)
- myr - Formerly used for Ma (either elapsed or ago)
- tya (sometimes spelled kya) - formerly used for ka (ago)
- kyr - Formerly used for ka (either elapsed or ago)
These units are deprecated because (except for
kyr) they do not use accepted SI prefixes and because the suffixes
ya and
yr are not accepted
SI units.
