Ownership is the state or fact of exclusive rights and control over property, which may be an object, land/real estate or intellectual property. An ownership right is also referred to as title. The concept of ownership has existed for thousands of years and in all cultures. Over the millennia, however, and across cultures what is considered eligible to be property and how that property is regarded culturally is very different. Ownership is the basis for many other concepts that form the foundations of ancient and modern societies such as money, trade, debt, bankruptcy, the criminality of theft and private vs. public property. Ownership is the key building block in the development of the capitalist socio-economic system.

The process and mechanics of ownership are fairly complex since one can gain, transfer and lose ownership of property in a number of ways. To acquire property one can purchase it with money, trade it for other property, receive it as a gift, steal it, find it, make it or homestead it. One can transfer or lose ownership of property by selling it for money, exchanging it for other property, giving it as a gift, being robbed of it, misplacing it, or having it stripped from one's ownership through legal means such as eviction, foreclosure and seizure. Ownership is self-propagating in that the owner of any property will also own the economic benefits of that property.

What can i do about an owner who changed my email settings without my permission?
Q. I belong to a group where the owner has decided that none of the members can be on No Email status. She freely admits she will go in and periodically change anyone with No Email to Special Notices. So far, i have changed my email preference three times back to MY choice. My settings are for my convenince, not a group owner. How do I report this violation to Yahoo? The group owner did not have any posted rules about email preference and only recently posted a message to the group stating she would change the email setting of members so that no one would miss her posts.

A. I'm not sure if reporting her to Yahoo will be of any use. If she freely admits she can and will go in and change your settings, it almost sounds like this is a term of use that you agreed to when you joined. I am assuming you want to stay with this group, so leaving is not an option. I would send her an e-mail asking her not to include me in here special notices broadcasts, as you will not read them anyway. Then I would set up a filter, in the client program I use to read emails, to filter for messages from this group and automatically delete them. Or, more poetically, set it to forward them to her address. That way, if she doesn't abide by your request, she fills her own in basket with her unwanted messages.

What do you normally tip the owner of a hair salon?
Q. The owner does my hair. I read somewhere that it's not proper to tip the owner, but I'd feel bad NOT tipping. Wondering what everyone else thinks? Intelligent answers from those old enough to pay for their own salon visits, please. Thanks! Yes, I normally tip 20%. Unless I hate it, then it would be a bit less. For some reason I was under the impression it was tacky to tip the owner of the salon as they get all the $$ anyway. Maybe I heard it in a dream...lol Thanks to all for their answers so far!

A. I use 20% for non salon owners when they do a great job, 15% when they do a mediocre job, and 10% minimum unless they totally ruin my hair. For salon owners, it depends on what they charge in the first place. I had a great guy for a while, but his charges were so high, I felt 15% was sufficient. I found I could no longer afford him, so I now use someone who is wonderful, but charges much less and I like to tip her 20% or more because she is so accommodating (and also a great friend). If you have the funds, and you appreciate whoever helps you look great, no one should ever be insulted with a tip, especially during these economic times.
