Household - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (335 words) |
 | The household is the basic unit of analysis in many microeconomic and government models. |
 | A householder in the U.S. census is the "person (or one of the people) in whose name the housing unit is owned or rented (maintained);" if no person qualifies, any adult resident of a housing unit is a householder. |
 | The U.S. government formerly used the term head of the household and head of the family to describe householders; beginning in 1980, these terms were officially dropped from the census and replaced with householder. |
| Cider (945 words) |
 | In the US, cider is a non-alcoholic beverage; a sub-category of apple juice, made from early-harvest apples which have a lower sugar content and are more acidic, thus cider has a more tart, tangy taste than apple juice. |
 | Other alcoholic beverages besides cider are also made from apples, such as apple wine[?], and the distilled spirits apple brandy[?], and calvados. |
 | After the apples are gathered from the trees they are ground into what is called pommage, either by means of a common pressing stone, with a circular trough, or by a cider mill, which is either driven by the hand, or by horse-power. |
