History

<span>Business leaders pushed for horizontal integration. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil began buying out competitors. By 1880, it controlled about 90 percent of the U.S. oil refining industry, a near monopoly. When People opposed this horizontal integration fearing monopolies will charge heavily the business leaders found two ways to overcome this obstacle by creating Trusts and Holding Companies. A trust is a legal arrangement that allows one person to manage another person’s property. The person who manages that property is called a trustee. The trustees could control a group of companies as if they were one large, merged company. In 1882 Standard Oil formed the first trust. Standard Oil had stockholders of that company give their stock to Standard Oil trustees in exchange for shares in the trust and its profits. A new general incorporation law in 1889 allowed corporations to own stock in other businesses without special legislative permission. Many companies used the law to create holding companies. A holding company does not produce anything itself but owns the stock of companies that do produce goods. The holding company manages its companies, effectively merging them into one.</span>

what is the difference in degrees between an actual temperature of 35 degrees and that temperature combined with a wind speed of
juin [17]
A negligible difference. Wind speed of 40 mph generally does not change the temperature of the air that much.

However, I believe you are meaning to ask what the difference feels like if you were subject to these conditions, this is a more complex answer. (Assuming that your skin temperature is greater than 35 degrees) You first need to understand that a change in wind speed would only decrease the time taken for your skin to equalise it's temperature to the surrounding air and thus feel 'colder', this is because more air is flowing over your skin per unit of time.
There are multiple other factors in determining what the 'feels like' temperature would be, such as taking into account the humidity and density of the air combined with our understanding of how heat is lost from the human body.
