insert

Read a random definition: positivistic

A quick definition of insert:

Insert: To change a proposal or idea by adding new words within or around the existing words. This is often done in parliamentary law. Some people differentiate between adding new words after the existing ones and inserting new words within the existing ones.

A more thorough explanation:

Insert is a verb used in parliamentary law to describe the act of amending a motion by adding new wording within or around the current wording. This is different from adding new wording after the current wording, which is called amendment by adding.

Example 1: The original motion was "I move that we have a pizza party on Friday." A member may insert the words "with vegetarian options" after the word "pizza" to amend the motion to "I move that we have a pizza party with vegetarian options on Friday."

Example 2: The original motion was "I move that we allocate $500 for new office supplies." A member may insert the words "and furniture" after the word "supplies" to amend the motion to "I move that we allocate $500 for new office supplies and furniture."

These examples illustrate how inserting new wording within or around the current wording of a motion can change its meaning or scope.

Bio Chemistry is odd, some ppl just cannot absorb certain nutrients/vits. Like some calcium deficient ppl actually loose more calcium when they increase intake.
