Systole is the last stage of a heart beat. It happens right after diastole, when the heart refills with blood. During systole, the heart's two ventricles contract (squeeze). (The ventricles are the largest parts of the heart, which pump blood to the body and lungs.) During systole, the heart muscle gets an automatic electrical signal that tells the heart to contract (squeeze). This makes the blood flow out of the heart.
Basics. General contractors earned a mean $45.14 per hour, or $93,900 per year, as of May 2011, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The lowest-paid 10 percent of contractors received less than $24.35 per hour, or $50,650 per year, while the best-paid 10 percent made $71.67 per hour, or $149,070 per year.
If the overall cost of the project consists of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) or more of public funds, a subcontractor must pay its employees the prevailing wage even if the contract between the general contractor and subcontractor is less than a $1,000. 3.
