Breakage

Breakage is a term used in telecommunications and accounting to indicate any type of service which is unused by the customer. A good example would be gift cards or calling cards that have been sold but never redeemed. Revenue from breakage is almost entirely profitable, since companies need not provide any goods or services for unredeemed gift cards. It should not be confused with Shrinkage (accounting) (items which are not used by the customer because they disappeared from inventory).

In 2006, a blog called "The Stalwart" criticized Best Buy for using estimated breakage to improve their revenue numbers.

Two Mexican immigrants cross the Rio Grande. One of them finds something in the water: the glass cube holding Tuco's grill that belongs to Hank.

Walt finishes his first round of chemotherapy, and is told he will learn how he has reacted to treatment in two months' time, around when his baby is due. However, Walt is beginning to feel overwhelmed by the growing medical bills, and the money he made from Tuco is running out. While he is vomiting into the toilet, he finds something clogging it - the packet of cigarettes Skyler was smoking. Jesse returns to Clovis to make good on his word: he pays for the towing and repair of his RV. He also works out a deal to store his RV in Clovis' lot, and buys a used car from him. Next, he goes to rent an apartment from Jane Margolis (Krysten Ritter), who manages the property and lives next door. Although he likes the space, he has no credit history and can only pay in cash. She initially refuses to rent to him, but eventually agrees after raising the price for cash only.

Temper

Temperare (to mix correctly) is the Latin origin of words like "temperature" and "tempering"; it and "tempo" come, in turn, from tempus (time or season). Thus, the word "temper" can refer (at least informally) to any time- and temperature-sensitive process (as for chocolate tempering or tempered glass), a material's thermo-mechanical history, or even its composition.
