Abstract: A method and computerized system for reducing risk actually assumed by at least one of a plurality of parties, wherein at least one of the parties supplies electric power to at least one other of the parties, and if an unplanned at least partial failure to supply the electric power occurs, at least one of the parties assumes the risk. The method includes designating at least one factor associated with the supplying of electric power and for determining whether an unplanned at least partial failure to supply the electric power that occurs is a qualifying event; designating a compensation which will at least partially reduce the risk actually assumed by the at least one of the parties assuming the risk if the unplanned at least partial failure to supply the electric power occurs and is determined to be a qualifying event; and, establishing a relationship between the at least one of the parties assuming the risk and at least one other party.

Abstract: A floor defining structure reliant upon a confinement periphery around a bed of compacted free draining material on which is positioned one or more floor panel support pads. The floor itself is supported directly or indirectly by both the confinement periphery and the pads. The pads are of such a kind that will not provide any wicking upwardly of any moisture from the bed material and are heat insulating in nature. Preferably each pad comprises an insulating material above a damp coarse layer and below a structural layer to which and/or into which the floor defining panel or panels can be fixed by adhesive, nailing and/or screwing.
