umpire decision referral system

Cricket: A reminder of the shocking decisions Steve Bucknor had made. If it were not for these decisions, a system would not have to be in place allowing for the challenge of umpires calls regarding as to whether a batsmen is out. Each team is allowed two unsuccessful challenges per innings.

The Prime Poon System

Rather than conforming to the traditional ranking of women on the scale from 1 to 10, the Prime Poon system is a method of ranking women using prime numbers from 3 to 59.

farm team system

The practice of rating women using the baseball farm team system:
Major League (8-10)
AAA (6 1/2-8)
AA (5-6 1/2)
Hi A (4-5)
Lo A (3-4)
Rookie League (1-3)
Cape Cod League (or Bush League) (< 1)

People will generally play within their leagues, occasionally going up or down a league. Someone who plays up two leagues or more is either very lucky or pulling some shady shit. Someone who plays down two or more leagues is either desperate, really drunk, or has absolutely no standards for whatever reason.
Even Ol' Dirty Pete, who had no standards whatsoever and routinely dated girls from all leagues of the farm team system, nearly lost his lunch when bush league Gretchen, who looked like she'd just raided an entire McDonald's and then been picked up by a tornado, bombarded with debris, and dropped on her face into a briar patch, showed up at the pool in a G-string bikini.

endocrine system

The endocrine system is made up of a series of glands that produce chemicals called hormones to regulate the body.

Hormones regulate many functions of an organism, including mood, growth and development, tissue function, and metabolism.

Typical endocrine glands include the pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, pineal, hypothalamus, parathyroid, thymus, adreanal, pancreas, testes in men and ovaries in women.
The endocrine system is a bodily system that consists of the endocrine glands and functions to regulate body activities.

Industrial System

All of the parts of a productive system that contribute to marketable products; the productive elements in a particular economy. This includes the entire network of firms, regulatory bodies (like government), infrastructure (roads, telecommunications), and financial intermediaries (banks, thrifts).

In a global economy, there are many industrial systems. In fact, it's quite possible that a single town could have companies belonging to different industrial systems; e.g., a paper mill near a biotech research facility. Almost none of the productive systems share potential employees or potential markets; a recession for the biotech business could--and probably would--completely spare the paper mill. Moreover, the managers of the two businesses probably want opposite policies: the mill owners want low taxes and small government, while the biotech researchers want big spending on education and infrastructure.

Much confusion is caused by calling the industrial system the "economy." The industrial system is not the economy. The industrial system is an organic entity within a greater economy. Various policies may be beneficial for this or that industrial system, with an ambiguous effect (if any) on the economy.
The family model was incorporated into the industrial system with the agent (who was the chief manager) filling the father's role. The same model was also expressed in the hierarchical management structure... The overseer was the "father" of his workroom and was expected to treat the workers like his children.

A wrench in the system

A problem that makes a flawless plan or machine go wrong, as though one were throwing a wrench inbetween a perfectly set pair of gears.
We had the perfect plan for today, but when the homeless man slashed my van's tires, he threw a wrench in the system.
