| From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2018 **Money in the Bank** was the ninth annual Money in the Bank professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by WWE. It was held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. The event took place on June 17, 2018, at the Allstate Arena in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont, Illinois, and was the second Money in the Bank held at this venue after the 2011 event.
Eleven matches were contested at the event, including one on the Kickoff pre-show. In the main event, Raw's Braun Strowman won the men's Money in the Bank ladder match. The women's ladder match was won by Raw's Alexa Bliss, who later that night cashed in her contract to win the Raw Women's Championship from Nia Jax after causing a disqualification in the previous title match between Ronda Rousey and Jax. In other prominent matches, AJ Styles retained SmackDown's WWE Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura in a Last Man Standing match, and Carmella defeated Asuka to retain the SmackDown Women's Championship.
Critics gave the event a mixed-to-positive reception; the ladder matches, WWE Championship, Raw Women's Championship, and the Intercontinental Championship matches garnered the most praise. The remaining matches from the card, however—including Bobby Lashley vs. Sami Zayn and Roman Reigns vs. Jinder Mahal—were negatively received.
## Production [edit]
## Background [edit]
| The event was held at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois.
Money in the Bank is an annual professional wrestling event produced by WWE since 2010, which at the time was generally held between June and July. The concept of the event comes from WWE's established Money in the Bank ladder match, in which multiple wrestlers use ladders to retrieve a briefcase hanging above the ring. For 2018, the briefcase contained a contract that guaranteed the winner a match for a world championship at any time within the next year. ${ }^{[2]}$ While the 2017 event was a SmackDown-exclusive pay-per-view (PPV), the 2018 event featured wrestlers from both the Raw and SmackDown brand divisions after WWE discontinued brand-exclusive PPVs following WrestleMania 34 in April that year. ${ }^{[3]}$ The 2017 event also introduced the first women's Money in the Bank ladder match, with the 2018 event including both | | | | | | |

Income tax in India is governed by Entry 82 of the Union List of the Seventh Schedule to the Constitution of India, empowering the central government to tax non-agricultural income; agricultural income is defined in Section 10(1) of the Income-tax Act, 1961. ${ }^{[2]}$ Income-tax law consists of the 1961 act, Income Tax Rules 1962, Notifications and Circulars issued by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), annual Finance Acts, and judicial pronouncements by the Supreme and high courts.
The government taxes certain income of individuals, Hindu Undivided Families (HUF's), companies, firms, LLPs, associations, bodies, local authorities and any other juridical person. Personal tax depends on residential status. The CBDT administers the Income Tax Department, which is part of the Ministry of Finance's Department of Revenue. Income tax is a key source of government funding.
The Income Tax Department is the central government's largest revenue generator; total tax revenue increased from ₹1,392.26 billion (US $\$ 17$ billion) in 1997-98 to ₹5,889.09 billion (US $\$ 74$ billion) in 2007-08. ${ }^{[3]^{[4]}}$ In 2018-19, direct tax collections reported by the CBDT were about ₹11.17 lakh crore (₹11.17 trillion). ${ }^{[5]}$
## History [edit]
## Ancient times [edit]
Taxation has been a function of sovereign states since ancient times. The earliest archaeological evidence of taxation in India is found in Ashoka's pillar inscription at Lumbini. According to the inscription, tax relief was given to the people of Lumbini (who paid one-eighth of their income, instead of one-sixth). ${ }^{[6]}$

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The **capital of Andhra Pradesh** have been changed various times since its formation.
On 1 October 1953, Andhra State was formed with its capital as Kurnool. It was formed after the Andhra movement, led by various Telugu leaders. During the same time, campaigns such as Visalandhra movement started in Andhra State and by Telugu-speaking people in Hyderabad State. States Reorganisation Act, 1956 came into effect from 1 November 1956 with an aim to organising the boundaries of India's states and territories along linguistic lines. As a result, the central government, led by Nehru, merged Andhra State and Hyderabad State (Telugu-speaking areas are now Telangana) to form united Andhra Pradesh on 1 November 1956 after ensuring safeguards to Telangana in the form of a gentleman's agreement. Hyderabad became the new capital of the state of united Andhra Pradesh.
There have been several movements to revoke the merger of Telangana and Andhra, major ones occurring in 1969, 1972, and 2009. The movement for a new state of Telangana gained momentum in the 21st century by an initiative of Telangana Political Joint Action Committee, TJAC including political leadership representing the Telangana area.[1] On 9 December 2009 the government of India announced the process of formation of the Telangana state. Violent protests led by people in the Coastal Andhra and Rayalseema regions occurred immediately after the announcement, and the decision was put on hold on 23 December 2009.
The movement continued in Hyderabad and other districts of Telangana.[2] There have been hundreds of claimed suicides,[3] strikes, protests and disturbances to public life demanding separate statehood.
On 30 July 2013, the Congress Working Committee unanimously passed a resolution to recommend the formation of a separate Telangana state. After various stages the bill was placed in the Parliament of India in February 2014.[4] In February 2014, Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014 bill was passed by the Parliament of India for the formation of Telangana state comprising ten districts from north-western Andhra Pradesh.[5] The bill received the assent of the president and published in the Gazette on 1 March 2014.[6] The state of Telangana was officially formed on 2 June 2014 with its capital as Hyderabad.
Amaravati was founded by former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu in 2014 as the Greenfield administrative capital city of the Andhra Pradesh state, and its foundation stone was laid at Uddandarayunipalem by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi on 22 October 2015.[7] In 2017, Andhra Pradesh Government began operating officially from the newly planned capital city Amaravati.[8][9] In August 2020, Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly passed Andhra Pradesh Decentralisation and Inclusive Development of All Regions Act, 2020. According to its provisions, Visakhapatnam is the executive capital while Amaravati and Kurnool serve as legislative and judicial capitals, respectively.[10] The decision resulted in widespread protests by the farmers of Amaravati.[11] The act has been challenged in Andhra Pradesh High Court, which ordered to maintain status quo until the court completes its hearing. On 22 November 2021, the government, led by Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, have

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Capital punishment is a legal penalty in South Korea. As of December 2012, there were at least 60 people on death row in South Korea. ${ }^{[1]}$ The method of execution is hanging.
However, there has been an informal moratorium on executions since President Kim Dae-jung took office in 1998. There have been no executions in the country since December 1997.
## History [edit]
This section needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources in this section. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (April 2019) (Learn how and when to remove this message)
Under the Joseon dynasty (1392-1897), capital punishment was a legal penalty; the Joseon penal code was based on that of Ming dynasty China, with the primary two methods of execution being beheading and strangulation, although lingering death by slow slicing (neungji-cheocham, 능지처 참) was reserved for particularly serious offences, whereas execution by drinking poison (sasa, 사사) was a leniency granted to royalty and highranking officials. ${ }^{[2]}$ The purpose of executions was to cause reactions and stop crimes. Heads of executed people were displayed to the public both to serve as public warning and enforce military courtesy. However, bodies of executed people were allowed funeral proceedings. ${ }^{[3]}$
In contemporary history, the first execution law was established on March 25, 1895, by the Supreme Court of Judicature of Japan acting under the Constitution of the Empire of Japan. The first death sentence was given four days later, on March 29, 1895, to Jeon Bongjun, who was hanged on 24 April that year.
Currently, the Penal Code of South Korea regulates executions as a form of punishment for some crimes according to the Criminal Law section 41. Those crimes include: Rebellion (Section 87), Conspiracy with foreign countries (Section 92), homicide (Section 250), robbery-homicide (Section 338), and other 12 sections. People under 18 cannot be executed according to Juvenile Law (Section 59, Juvenile Law). ${ }^{[4]}$
## Moratorium [edit]
In February 1998, then-president Kim Dae-jung enacted a moratorium on executions. This moratorium is still in effect as of 2023. ${ }^{[5]}$ Thus, executions in Korea are considered to be abolished de facto. ${ }^{[6]}$ The last executions took place in December 1997, when 23 people (each of whom had murdered at least 2 people) were put to death. ${ }^{[7][8]}$ However, there are still at least 60 people with a death sentence, as of 2013. ${ }^{[1]}$
In 2010, the Constitutional Court of Korea ruled that capital punishment did not violate "human dignity and worth" in the Constitution of the Republic of Korea. In a five-to-four decision, capital punishment was upheld as constitutional. Institutions such as Amnesty International considered this a 'major setback for South Korea'. ${ }^{[6]}$ Later in 2010, Justice Minister Lee Kwi-nam alluded to a possibility of resuming executions. ${ }^{[9]}$ In 2013, three bills which proposed abolishment of the death penalty lapsed at the end of the National Assembly's term. ${ }^{[1]}$

**Security market** is a component of the wider financial market where securities can be bought and sold between subjects of the economy, on the basis of demand and supply. Security markets encompasses stock markets, bond markets and derivatives markets where prices can be determined and participants both professional and non professional can meet.
Securities markets can be split into two levels: primary markets, where new securities are issued, and secondary markets where existing securities can be bought and sold. Secondary markets can further be split into organised exchanges, such as stock exchanges and over-the-counter, where individual parties come together and buy or sell securities directly. For securities holders knowing that a secondary market exists in which their securities may be sold and converted into cash increases the willingness of people to hold stocks and bonds and thus increases the ability of firms to issue securities.
There are a number of professional participants of a securities market and these include; brokerages, broker-dealers, market makers, investment managers, speculators as well as those providing the infrastructure, such as clearing houses and securities depositories.
A securities market is used in an economy to attract new capital, transfer real assets in financial assets, determine prices which will balance demand and supply and provide a means to invest money both short and long term.
The image depicts the courtyard of the Amsterdam Stock Exchange, also known as Beurs van Hendrick de Keyser, which was a major hub for global securities markets in the 17th century. The architectural design reflects the historical significance and the bustling financial activity that took place in this center. It serves as a visual representation of the early development of securities markets, aligning with the article's discussion on the evolution of these markets. Such historical exchanges laid the groundwork for modern securities trading, showcasing the longstanding importance of organized financial centers.

## Conditions [edit]
A securities market is a system of interconnection between all participants (professional and nonprofessional) that provides effective conditions:
- to attract new capital by means of issuing new security (securitization of debt)
- to transfer real asset into financial asset
- to invest money for short or long term periods with the aim of deriving profitability
- commercial function (to derive profit from operation on this market)
- price determination (demand and supply balancing, the continuous process of prices movements guarantees to state correct price for each security so the market corrects mispriced securities)
- informative function (market provides all participants with market information about participants and traded instruments)
- regulation function (securities market creates the rules of trade, contention regulation, priorities determination)

3 leakages from the circular flow of income

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In economics, a leakage is a diversion of funds from some iterative process. For example, in the Keynesian depiction of the circular flow of income and expenditure, leakages are the non-consumption uses of income, including saving, taxes, and imports. In this model, leakages are equal in quantity to injections of spending from outside the flow at the equilibrium aggregate output. The model is best viewed as a circular flow between national income, output, consumption, and factor payments. Savings, taxes, and imports are "leaked" out of the main flow, reducing the money available in the rest of the economy. Imported goods are one way this may happen, transferring money earned in the country to another one. ${ }^{[1]}$
The simplest possible model of credit creation assumes all loans borrowed from banks in a fractional-reserve banking system are re-deposited to the system. This allows simple calculation of the amount of credit created. In practice, though, cash leakages occur in the form of sums of money borrowed from banks but not re-deposited, and in the form of funds deposited in banks but not lent out. Cash leakage, in this case, lowers the ability of credit creation. ${ }^{[2]}$
Leakage is a common problem involving TNCs (Transnational corporations). Large companies have factories or production facilities in less developed countries, these factories create wealth for the company which is then not transferred to the economy of the host country and instead to that of the corporation involved. The economic value of goods and/or profits lost here is leakage. ${ }^{[3]}$

**Adobe Acrobat** is a family of application software and Web services developed by Adobe Inc. to view, create, manipulate, print and manage Portable Document Format (PDF) files.^{[17]}
The family comprises Acrobat Reader (formerly Reader), Acrobat (formerly Exchange) and Acrobat.com. The basic Acrobat Reader, available for several desktop and mobile platforms, is freeware; it supports viewing, printing, scaling or resizing^{[18]} and annotating of PDF files.^{[19]} Additional, "Premium", services are available on paid subscription. The commercial proprietary Acrobat, available for Microsoft Windows and macOS only, can also create, edit, convert, digitally sign, encrypt, export and publish PDF files. Acrobat.com complements the family with a variety of enterprise content management and file hosting services.
## Purpose [edit]
The main function of Adobe Acrobat is creating, viewing, and editing PDF documents. It can import popular document and image formats and save them as PDF. It is also possible to import a scanner's output, a website, or the contents of the Windows clipboard.
Because of the nature of the PDF, however, once a PDF document is created, its natural organization and flow cannot be meaningfully modified. In other words, Adobe Acrobat is able to modify the contents of paragraphs and images, but doing so does not repaginate the whole document to accommodate for a longer or shorter document. Acrobat can crop PDF pages, change their order, manipulate hyperlinks, digitally sign a PDF file, add comments, redact certain parts of the PDF file, and ensure its adherence to such standards as PDF/A.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For capital punishment in Northern Ireland, see Capital punishment in the United Kingdom.
Capital punishment in the Republic of Ireland was abolished in statute law in
1990, having been abolished in 1964 for most offences including ordinary
murder. The last person to be executed by the British state on the island of
Ireland was Robert McGladdery, who was hanged on 20 December 1961 in
Crumlin Road Gaol in Belfast, Northern ireland. The last person to be
executed by the state in the Republic of Ireland was Michael Manning, hanged
for murder on 20 April 1954. All subsequent death sentences in the Republic of
Ireland, the last handed down in 1985, were commuted by the President, on
the advice of the Government, to terms of imprisonment of up to 40 years. The
‘Twenty-first Amendment to the constitution, passed by referendum in 2001,
prohibits the reintroduction of the death penalty, even during a state of
emergency or war. Capital punishment is also forbidden by several human
Tights treaties to which the state is a party.

After the Norman conquest of Ireland, English law provided the model for Irish law. This originally mandated a death sentence for any felony, a class
of crimes established by common law but, in Ireland as in England, was extended by various Acts of Parliament;'“! a situation later dubbed the
"Bloody Code". After the Irish Reformation, the Protestant Ascendancy to impede Roman Catholic practices passed Penal Laws, some of which
created capital crimes which produced Irish Catholic Martyrs. The gallows speech was a popular genre of broadside from the Williamite revolution
through the eighteenth century, feeding into popular ballads of the nineteenth century.” In 1789 Elizabeth Sugrue ("Lady Betty") was among 26 led
to the County Roscommon gallows; when the hangman failed to appear, she agreed to hang the other 25 if the sheriff would stay her own
execution. She remained county executioner until 1802, when her death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment."
Most Penal Laws were repealed or disused by the late 18th century. As late as 1834 the officiant at an unlicensed Catholic—Protestant marriage was
sentenced to death, albeit commuted to 18 months’ imprisonment.!”! The Criminal Law Act 1827 allowed judges to sentence to transportation for

Article Talk Read Edit View history Tools $\checkmark$
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is a Nigerian law enforcement agency that investigates financial crimes such as advance fee fraud (419 fraud) and money laundering. ${ }^{[1]}$ The EFCC was established in 2003, partially in response to pressure from the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF), ${ }^{[2]}$ which named Nigeria as one of 23 countries non-cooperative in the international community's efforts to fight money laundering. ${ }^{[1]}$ The agency has its head office in Abuja, Nigeria.
## History [edit]
Under the previous EFCC chairman Nuhu Ribadu, the agency has addressed financial corruption by prosecuting and convicting a number of high-profile corrupt individuals, ranging from Nigeria's former chief law enforcement officer to several bank chief executives. By 2005, the EFCC arrested government officials including, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha. ${ }^{[3]}$
In September 2006, the EFCC had 31 of Nigeria's 36 state governors under investigation for corruption. ${ }^{[4]}$ In December 2007, the Nigerian Federal Government, after extensive investigations by EFCC and other organisations, cleared the Vaswani brothers ${ }^{[5]}$ of any wrongdoing and invited them back into the country. Leading Nigerian daily "This Day" and other major newspapers reported the facts of their clearance quoting text from FG issued directives. In April 2008, the EFCC began an investigation of the very influential daughter of a former Nigerian President, Senator Iyabo ObasanjoBello for receiving N10 million (\$100,000), stolen from the Ministry of Health. The former Health Minister (Professor Adenike Grange) and her deputy were tried for stealing over N30,000,000 $(\$ 300,000)$ from the ministry's unspent funds from a year before. ${ }^{[6]}$
On June 6, 2008, Chief (Mrs) Farida Mzamber Waziri was sworn in as the new chairperson of the EFCC. ${ }^{[1]}$ Then on the 6th of August 2008, the former chairman Nuhu Ribadu was demoted from Assistant Inspector General (AIG) to Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP). ${ }^{[7]}$
On September 14, 2010, the head of the Forensic Unit of the EFCC, Abdullahi Muazu, was assassinated in Kaduna. He had been actively involved in the trials of several heads of banks. ${ }^{[8]}$
Waziri was dismissed by President Goodluck Jonathan on 23 November 2011 and replaced by Ibrahim Lamorde as Acting Chairman, who was confirmed on the 15 February 2012 by the Nigerian Senate. ${ }^{[9]}$
Ibrahim Lamorde was sacked by President Muhammadu Buhari on November 9, 2015, and replaced with Ibrahim Magu. The Nigerian Senate refused to confirm Magu as chairman of the agency twice.

*Live at Woodstock* is a live album released on August 2, 2019 via Fantasy Records. The set documents swamp rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival's set at the Woodstock music festival on August 17, 1969. ${ }^{[1]}$ The release has received positive reviews and moderate chart success.
## Recording and release [edit]
Creedence Clearwater Revival was the first act to sign a contract for August's Woodstock festival in April 1969, for $10,000 (equivalent to $83,000 today). Given their late start time and omission from the *Woodstock* film (at John Fogerty's insistence), Creedence members have expressed bitterness over their experiences regarding the festival. ${ }^{[2]}$
In 1994, "Commotion", "Green River", "Ninety Nine and a Half (Won't Do)", and "I Put a Spell on You" appeared on *Woodstock: Three Days of Peace and Music* and for the 40th anniversary home video release of the film, the band allowed the inclusion of "Born on the Bayou", "I've Put a Spell On You", and "Keep On Chooglin". ${ }^{[3]}$ This album also coincides with a 38-disc box set from Rhino Records compiling the entire festival, *Woodstock – Back to the Garden: The Definitive 50th Anniversary Archive*. ${ }^{[4]}$
## Critical reception [edit]
According to the review aggregator Metacritic, *Live at Woodstock* received "universal acclaim" based on a weighted average score of 84 out of 100 from six critic scores. ${ }^{[5]}$
On AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine said, "Throughout their hour-long set, CCR sound ferocious, tearing through their hardest material ... The hardness of their choogle is a bit of a revelation, as the band sound fiery in a way that they don't on any of the officially released Creedence live recordings." ${ }^{[6]}$
In *American Songwriter*, Hal Horowitz wrote, "The foursome cranks out their songs with requisite energy ... But it's the closing cover of Ray Charles' "Night Time Is the Right Time", plus "Keep on Chooglin'" and "Susie Q", the latter two over ten minutes long, where the sparks really fly ... The remastered audio captures each instrument with surprisingly sharp and clean separation." ${ }^{[7]}$

"I Put a Spell on You" is even more ominous than the recorded version, and the 20 minutes given over to "Keep On Chooglin" and "Susie Q" as the set climaxes are flat-out intense." ${ }^{[8]}$

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In United States history, the Second Report on the Public Credit,"! also referred to as The Report on a National Bank,”! was the second of four
influential reports on fiscal and economic policy delivered to Congress by the first U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton.21/5)
‘Submitted on December 14, 1790,!"*! the report called for the establishment of a central bank with the primary purpose to expand the flow of legal
‘tender, monetizing the national debt“!!! by issuing of federal bank notes.)
Modeled on the Bank of England, |"! the privately held but publicly funded institution would also serve to process revenue fees and to perform fiscal
duties for the federal government.©!'"! Hamilton regarded the bank as indispensable to produce a stable and flexible financial system. ["®
The ease with which Federalists advanced legislation to incorporate the bank impelled agrarian opposition that was hostile to Hamilton's emerging
economic nationalism. Resorting to constitutional arguments, ©!) Representative James Madison challenged Congress's broad authority to grant
charters of incorporation under the "necessary and proper” clause of the US Constitution”! and charged Hamilton with violating a literal, strict
constructionist interpretation of the founding document.!42)
Despite Madison's objections, the Bank Bill of 1791 penned to form the First Bank of the United States passed without amendment in the US House
of Representatives“! by a vote of 39-20'**! on February 8, 1791. The bank was endowed with a 20-year charter.!7)
Debate on constitutionality of Bank [esi]
Madison's misgivings on the Bank's constitutionality raised doubts in President Washington's mind as to the legality"““! of the Bank Bill,25)
Washington delayed signing it to consult with his cabinet.!1°! Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson and Attorney General Edmund Randolph
concurred with Madison that the federal government was one of strictly enumerated powers'*®! and bolstered that argument by citing the Tenth
Amendment. They advanced the position of states’ rights and believed in limited federal power.271(181
The Tenth Amendment was not ratified until December 15, 1791 after the Bank Bill passed Congress on February 2, 1791 and so it was not then
part of the Constitution.
Hamilton's famous rebuttal!*®°! on the Bank was submitted to Washington on February 23, 1791. It introduced the doctrine of "implied powers")
based on the principle of broad construction of the Constitution." He argued that the authority to create the Bank was not explicitly mandated !17!
in the Constitution but was inherent to a central government and was required for it to fulfill its duties prescribed in the founding document.24221
The "broad"! or “liberal"!5I(24) interpretation swayed Washington, who signed the Bank Bill on February 25, 1791.
Hamilton's success in advancing his fiscal and financial plans! moved Madison and Jefferson towards establishing the political foundations for a
two-party system.5l(26 Based on a New York-Virginia alliance, 2”! the Democratic-Republican Party would defeat the Federalist Party in the
"Revolution of 1800."78)

Read Edit View history Tools
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Capital punishment is a legal penalty in the U.S. state of South Carolina. Between 1718 and 2021, more than 680 people have been executed in South Carolina. ${ }^{[1]}$ After the nationwide capital punishment ban was overturned in 1976, South Carolina has executed 43 people. ${ }^{[2]}$
Since 2011, no one has been executed in the state due to pharmaceutical companies not wanting to sell the drugs needed for lethal injections. Lethal injection has been the legalized primary form of execution since 1995. Under the passage of Act 43 of 2021, executions are expected to resume with the electric chair as the primary form of execution. ${ }^{[3]}$ In March 2022, the South Carolina Department of Corrections announced they were ready to carry out executions by firing squad. Inmates will now have the choice to be executed via electrocution or firing squad; with electrocution being the primary method. ${ }^{[4]}$
## Legal process [edit]
When the prosecution seeks the death penalty, the sentence is not passed by the judge. The sentence is decided by the jury and must be unanimous.
In case of a hung jury during the penalty phase of the trial, a life sentence is issued, even if a single juror opposed death (there is no retrial). ${ }^{[5]}$
The governor has the power of clemency with respect to death sentences. ${ }^{[6]}$
The methods of execution are lethal injection, electrocution, and firing squad. ${ }^{[7][8]}$
On January 30, 2019, South Carolina's Senate voted 26-13 in favor of a revived proposal to bring back the electric chair and add firing squads to its execution options. ${ }^{[9][10]}$ On May 14, 2021, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster signed a bill into law which brought back the electric chair as the default method of execution (in the event lethal injection was unavailable) and added the firing squad (if the offender requests it) to the list of execution options. This made South Carolina the first state to use a method other than lethal injection as its primary execution method since 2009, when Nebraska switched over to that method, also from electrocution. South Carolina has not performed executions in over a decade, and its lethal injection drugs expired in 2013. Pharmaceutical companies have since refused to sell drugs for lethal injection. ${ }^{[11][12][13]}$ The law is Act 43 of 2021.
## Capital crimes [edit]
Murder can be punished by death if the crime involved at least one of 12 aggravating factors, as listed under Title 16, Chapter 3, Article 1, Section 16-3-20 of the South Carolina Code of Laws. Among them are murder involving another felony such as rape, robbery or "physical torture", murder of a law enforcement or correctional officer during or because of the performance of his duties, murder committed for pecuniary gain, and murder of a child under the age of 11 .
South Carolina also provides for the death penalty for criminal sexual conduct with a minor under 11 if the offender was a repeat offender, but such law is unenforceable under Kennedy v. Louisiana. ${ }^{[5]}$

| From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2018 **Money in the Bank** was the ninth annual Money in the Bank professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by WWE. It was held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. The event took place on June 17, 2018, at the Allstate Arena in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont, Illinois, and was the second Money in the Bank held at this venue after the 2011 event.
Eleven matches were contested at the event, including one on the Kickoff pre-show. In the main event, Raw's Braun Strowman won the men's Money in the Bank ladder match. The women's ladder match was won by Raw's Alexa Bliss, who later that night cashed in her contract to win the Raw Women's Championship from Nia Jax after causing a disqualification in the previous title match between Ronda Rousey and Jax. In other prominent matches, AJ Styles retained SmackDown's WWE Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura in a Last Man Standing match, and Carmella defeated Asuka to retain the SmackDown Women's Championship.
Critics gave the event a mixed-to-positive reception; the ladder matches, WWE Championship, Raw Women's Championship, and the Intercontinental Championship matches garnered the most praise. The remaining matches from the card, however—including Bobby Lashley vs. Sami Zayn and Roman Reigns vs. Jinder Mahal—were negatively received.

Money in the Bank is an annual professional wrestling event produced by WWE since 2010, which at the time was generally held between June and July. The concept of the event comes from WWE's established Money in the Bank ladder match, in which multiple wrestlers use ladders to retrieve a briefcase hanging above the ring. For 2018, the briefcase contained a contract that guaranteed the winner a match for a world championship at any time within the next year. ${ }^{[2]}$ While the 2017 event was a SmackDown-exclusive pay-per-view (PPV), the 2018 event featured wrestlers from both the Raw and SmackDown brand divisions after WWE discontinued brand-exclusive PPVs following WrestleMania 34 in April that year. ${ }^{[3]}$ The 2017 event also introduced the first women's Money in the Bank ladder match, with the 2018 event including both | | | | | | |

A non-stock corporation (or nonstock corporation) is a corporation that does not have owners represented by shares of stock, ${ }^{[1]}$ in contrast to a joint-stock company. A non-stock corporation typically has members who are the functional equivalent of shareholders in a stock corporation. The members may have the right to vote (and other rights) based on the bylaws of the corporation. Non-stock corporations may also choose to have no members.
The vast majority of not-for-profit corporations are non-stock corporations. (Some states, such as Kansas, allow nonprofits to issue stock. ${ }^{[2]}$ For example, the Cato Institute is set up this way. ${ }^{[3]}$ ) While rare, it is also possible for a for-profit corporation to be a non-stock corporation. ${ }^{[c i t a t i o n ~ n e e d e d]}$
In many jurisdictions, a nonstock corporation can elect to become a stock corporation if certain conditions are met. For example, the Cato Institute was once a nonstock corporation under Kansas law that elected to become a stock corporation. ${ }^{[3]}$

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Group Areas Act was the tile of three acts of the Parliament of South Africa enacted under the apartheid
government of South Africa, The acts assigned racial groups to different residential and business sections
in urban areas in a system of urban apartheid. An effect of the law was to exclude people of colour from
living in the most developed areas, which were restricted to Whites (e.g. Sea Point, Claremont). It required
many people of colour to commute large distances from their homes to be able to work. The law led to
people of colour being forcibly removed for living in the “wrong” areas. People of colour, who were the
majority at the time, were given much smaller areas (e.g., Tongaat, Grassy Park) to live in than the white
minority. Pass Laws required people of colour to carry pass books and later "reference books",|"! similar to t ear we
passports, to enter the "white" parts of the country. Mass protest at Durban on 28 May ©

Background [eit]
After the 1948 general election, D.F. Malan's administration commenced its policy of apartheid that
‘sought to segregate the races in South Africa, The government hoped to achieve this through
“separate development" of the races and this entailed passing laws that would ensure a distinction on
social, economic, political and, in the case of the Group Areas Act, geographical lines.7! The Group
Areas Act may be regarded as an extension of the Asiatic Land Tenure Act, 1946.)
Provisions [eait)
The Act empowered the Governor-General to declare certain geographical areas to be for the
exclusive occupation of specific racial groups. In particular the statute identified three such racial
groups: whites, coloureds, and natives. This authority was exercised on the advice of the Minister of
the Interior and the Group Areas Board.'*!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks (previously known as Wicked Tuna: North vs. South) is an American reality television series about commercial tuna fishermen based in the Outer Banks who fish for the lucrative Atlantic bluefin tuna off the coast of North Carolina. The teams of fishermen battle each other to see who can catch the most fish, while trying to earn their livelihood.
In addition to offering an inside look at one of America's oldest industries, Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks also sheds light on important issues surrounding the fate of the bluefin tuna. Captains adhere to U.S. regulations that determine size limits and quotas for the season. ${ }^{[1]}$
Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks is a spin-off of Wicked Tuna. Several vessels from the original show also appear in this version. Originally called Wicked Tuna: North vs. South, the name of the show was changed at the beginning of the second season. ${ }^{[2]}$ Season 6 began airing on June 23 and ended on October 6, 2019. ${ }^{[3]}$ The series was renewed for a seventh season on May 21, 2020. ${ }^{[4]}$

Article Talk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rosalind Bank, also called Rosalinda or Rosa Linda Bank (Spanish: Placer de Rosalinda), ${ }^{[1]}$ is a large, completely submerged bank or atoll in the western Caribbean Sea. It is the culmination of an area of coral reef, some 300 kilometres ( 190 mi ) long, that extends eastward from Cabo Gracias a Dios. The bank area is part of an extensive structure, known as Nicaragua Rise, that continues further east through Pedro Bank towards Jamaica.
## Geography [edit]
Rosalind is 101 kilometres ( 63 mi ) long in a north-south direction and 56 kilometres ( 35 mi ) wide, as defined by the 200 metres ( 660 ft ) isobath, which corresponds to an area of roughly 4,500 square kilometres ( $1,700 \mathrm{sq}$ mi). General depths range from 18 to 37 metres ( 59 to 121 ft ), an almost immediate transition from the 300 metres ( 980 ft ) depth of surrounding waters. The bottom is of coarse sand and coral. ${ }^{[2]}$
Several patches of depths from 7.3 to 11 metres ( 24 to 36 ft ) lie on a 23 kilometres ( 14 mi ) long coral ledge located 3 kilometres ( 1.9 mi ) within the southeast edge of the bank. A detached 11 metres ( 36 ft ) patch lies near the southwest edge of the bank, 21.7 kilometres ( 13.5 mi ) west of the southern end of this ledge. A depth of 10.9 metres ( 35 ft 9 in ) lies close to the northern edge of the bank.
An extensive bank 66 kilometres ( 41 mi ) long and 16 kilometres ( 9.9 mi ) wide, with an area of 830 square kilometres ( 320 sq mi ), lies 18 kilometres ( 11 mi ) west of Rosalind Bank. Depths over this bank range from 7 to 66 metres ( 23 to 217 ft ). The shallowest detached patches are found along the eastern edge of the bank. A detached 11 metres ( 36 ft ) patch lies on the northern part of the bank. Six kilometres ( 3.7 mi ) further west lies Thunder Knoll.
Thirty kilometres ( 19 mi ) southeast of Rosalind Bank is Serranilla Bank. The cays on it are the closest pieces of dry land.
Until a 1986 treaty between Honduras and Colombia determined the two nations' maritime boundary in the area, Colombia claimed Rosalinda Bank as part of the San Andrés archipelago, along with Serranilla Bank. Under the treaty, however, Colombia accepted a boundary that placed Rosalind within Honduras's exclusive economic zone. ${ }^{[3]}$ Nicaragua objected to the 1986 maritime decision as it ignored Nicaraguan claims to the area. ${ }^{[4]}$

| **Railway budget of India** was the Annual Financial Statement of the state-owned Indian Railways, which handles rail transport in India. It was presented every year by the Minister of Railways, representing the Ministry of Railways, in the Parliament.
The Railway Budget was presented every year, a few days before the Union budget, till 2016. Modi government on 21 September 2016 approved merger of the Rail and General budgets from the next year, ending a 92-year-old practice of a separate budget for the nation's largest transporter. Railways Minister Suresh Prabhu said that this merger proposal was in the long term interest of railways as well as the country's economy and was a colonial practice that needed to be ended.^{[1]} | | | | | | |

## Rosebank, Staten Island
Article Talk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rosebank is a neighborhood in northeastern Staten Island, one of New York City's five boroughs. It borders Clifton to the north, Arrochar to the south, and the Upper New York Bay to the east.
## History [edit]
Originally called Peterstown, then Clifton and the Village of Edgewater, the neighborhood appears to have first acquired the name "Rosebank" around 1880.
Before 1880, the area was the "Newport, Rhode Island" of New York, home to great estates. Some of the richest families in the country had mansions along the shore and inland. The New York Yacht Club summer house was built there and still stands beside the Alice Austen House. The Vanderbilts, Aspinwalls, and Townsends built and attended St. John's Episcopal Church. The first baptism there was for Cornelius Vanderbilt II. ${ }^{[1]}$
Later, the big farms and estates were divided into small parcels, and, soon after 1880, Italian immigrants began settling in the area. Their descendants have continued as its predominant ethnic group, exemplified by the prominence of the Garibaldi Memorial in the community.
The neighborhood once had a federal quarantine station for incoming immigrants (closed in 1971) and was the home of noted photographer Alice Austen, one of Staten Island's best-known historic figures. The Garibaldi-Meucci Museum is co-named for longtime resident Antonio Meucci, who had some claim to the invention of a working telephone. But he was too impoverished to obtain a patent or market his discovery. When Giuseppe Garibaldi, in exile from Italy, visited the United States, he stayed for a time at Meucci's home. That later inspired the museum's name, honoring both men.
Eventually, Rosebank's Eibs Pond Park would serve as a filming location for Womanhood, the Glory of the Nation (1917), ${ }^{[2]}$ as well as an Italian Prisoner-of-war camp during World War II. ${ }^{[3]}$
Along with the Garibaldi-Meucci Museum, the Elizabeth Alice Austen House, McFarlane-Bredt House, and Our Lady of Mount Carmel Grotto are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. ${ }^{[4]}$
## Community [edit]
In recent years, the neighborhood has experienced an influx of other ethnic groups, including Eastern Europeans ${ }^{[w h o ?]}$, various Hispanic nationalities ${ }^{[w h o ?]}$, as well as Asians, particularly from the Philippines.
The age, density, and architectural style of Rosebank's housing stock resembles most of the island's North Shore neighborhoods, but

The draw for the first round (group stage) was held as part of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Preliminary Draw on 25 July 2015, starting 18:00 MSK (UTC+3), at the Konstantinovsky Palace in Strelna, Saint Petersburg, Russia. ${ }^{[1][2]}$ Gibraltar was added to the group after the draw, after becoming FIFA members together with Kosovo in May 2016, ${ }^{[3]}$ and UEFA decided not to put Kosovo in same group as Bosnia and Herzegovina for security reasons. ${ }^{[4][5]}$
The group winners, Belgium, qualified directly for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The group runners-up, Greece, advanced to the play-offs as one of the best eight runners-up.
Russia was initially partnered with the five-team Group H, which enabled the 2018 World Cup hosts to play centralised friendlies against these countries on their "spare" match dates. ${ }^{[6]}$ These friendlies would not have counted in the qualifying group standings.

# $\equiv$ Group-contribution method
Article Talk
Read Edit View history Tools
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A group-contribution method in chemistry is a technique to estimate and predict thermodynamic and other properties from molecular structures.
## Introduction [edit]
In today's chemical processes hundreds of thousands of components are used. The Chemical Abstracts Service registry lists 56 million substances, ${ }^{[1]}$ but many of these are only of scientific interest.
Process designers need to know some basic chemical properties of the components and their mixtures. Experimental measurement is often too expensive.
Predictive methods can replace measurements if they provide sufficiently good estimations. The estimated properties cannot be as precise as wellmade measurements, but for many purposes the quality of estimated properties is sufficient. Predictive methods can also be used to check the results of experimental work.
## Principles [edit]
A group-contribution method uses the principle that some simple aspects of the structures of chemical components are always the same in many different molecules. The smallest common constituents are the atoms and the bonds. The vast majority of organic components, for example, are built of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, halogens (not including astatine), and maybe sulfur or phosphorus. Together with a single, a double, and a triple bond there are only ten atom types and three bond types to build thousands of components. The next slightly more complex building blocks of components are functional groups, which are themselves built from few atoms and bonds.
A group-contribution method is used to predict properties of pure components and mixtures by using group or atom properties. This reduces the number of needed data dramatically. Instead of needing to know the properties of thousands or millions of compounds, only data for a few dozens or hundreds of groups have to be known.
The image depicts a diagram demonstrating the group-contribution method, focusing on the molecular structure of 2-Methyl-1-Propanol. The diagram features various functional groups, such as CH₃, CH, and CH₂, represented as colored circles, highlighting their positions within the molecule. This visualization aids in understanding how each group contributes to the calculation of molecular properties, aligning with the text's explanation of estimating compound properties through additive contributions of individual groups.
## Additive group-contribution method [edit]
The simplest form of a group-contribution method is the determination of a component property by summing up the group contributions $G_{i}$ :
$$
T_{\mathrm{b}}[\mathrm{~K}]=198.2022567824111+\sum G_{i}
$$
This simple form assumes that the property (normal boiling point in the example) is strictly linearly dependent on the number of groups, and additionally no interaction between groups and molecules are assumed. This simple approach is used, for example, in the Joback method for some properties, and it works well in a limited range of components and property ranges, but leads to quite large errors if used outside the applicable

The image depicts a coal-fired power plant in Luchegorsk, Russia, emitting noticeable plumes of smoke. This facility exemplifies the types of power stations targeted by carbon taxes, which impose a fee on carbon dioxide emissions in an effort to address climate change. The power plant's emission of smoke signifies the release of greenhouse gases, specifically CO₂, which carbon taxes aim to reduce by making fossil-fuel-based energy production more expensive. Such taxes are intended to incentivize a transition to less carbon-intensive energy sources.
A coal-fired power plant in Luchegorsk, Russia. A carbon tax would add a fee for the $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ emitted from this power station.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A carbon tax is a tax levied on the carbon emissions from producing goods and services. Carbon taxes are intended to make visible the hidden social costs of carbon emissions. They are designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by essentially increasing the price of fossil fuels. This both decreases demand for goods and services that produce high emissions and incentivizes making them less carbon-intensive. ${ }^{[1]}$ When a fossil fuel such as coal, petroleum, or natural gas is burned, most or all of its carbon is converted to $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$. Greenhouse gas emissions cause climate change. This negative externality can be reduced by taxing carbon content at any point in the product cycle. ${ }^{[2][3][4][5]}$
In its simplest form, a carbon tax covers only $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ emissions. It could also cover other greenhouse gases, such as methane or nitrous oxide, by taxing such emissions based on their $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$-equivalent global warming potential. ${ }^{[6]}$ Carbon taxes are a type of Pigovian tax. ${ }^{[7]}$
Research shows that carbon taxes do reduce emissions. ${ }^{[8]}$ Many economists argue that carbon taxes are the most efficient (lowest cost) way to tackle climate change. ${ }^{[9][10]} 77$ countries and over 100 cities have committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050. ${ }^{[11][8]}$ As of 2019, carbon taxes have either been implemented or are scheduled for implementation in 25 countries. ${ }^{[12]} 46$ countries have put some form of price on carbon, either through carbon taxes or carbon emission trading schemes. ${ }^{[13]}$
Carbon taxes can negatively affect the welfare of people, especially of poorer people, by making their consumption more expensive. For example, the prices for petrol and electricity can go up. ${ }^{[14]}$ To make carbon taxes fairer, policymakers can try to redistribute the revenue generated from carbon taxes to low-income groups by various fiscal means. ${ }^{[15][16]}$ Such a policy initiative becomes a carbon fee and dividend, rather than a plain tax. ${ }^{[17]}$
A carbon tax as well as carbon emission trading is used within the carbon price concept. Two common economic alternatives to carbon taxes are tradable permits with carbon credits and subsidies.
## Purpose [edit]
Further information: Climate change and Climate change mitigation
Carbon dioxide is one of several heat-trapping greenhouse gases (others include methane and water vapor) emitted as a result of human activities. The scientific consensus is that human-induced greenhouse gas emissions are the primary cause of climate change, ${ }^{[18]}$ and that carbon dioxide is the most important of the anthropogenic greenhouse gases. ${ }^{[19]}$ Worldwide, 27 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide are produced by human activity annually. ${ }^{[20]}$ The physical effect of $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ in the atmosphere can be measured as a change in the Earth-atmosphere system's energy balance - the radiative forcing of $\mathrm{CO}_{2} .{ }^{[21]}$ Different greenhouse gases have different physical properties: the global warming potential is

Prior to the introduction of the Macintosh in early 1984, Apple had several operating systems for the Apple II series, Apple SOS for the Apple III series, and Lisa OS and MacWorks XL for the Apple Lisa series; those were introduced between 1977 and 1983.
The original operating system for the Macintosh was the classic Mac OS, which was introduced in early 1984 as System Software. In 1997, System Software was renamed Mac OS.
In 1999, Mac OS X Server 1.0 was released, followed by Mac OS X 10.0, the first consumer release of the Mac OS X.
From the release of Mac OS X 10.0 until early 2007, Mac OS X was the only software platform. In early 2007, iPhone OS was introduced, increasing the number of software platforms by one, from one to two. In 2010, iPhone OS was renamed iOS. In 2011, Mac OS X was renamed OS X. In early 2015, the number of software platforms rose by one, from two to three, as watchOS was introduced. In late 2015, tvOS was introduced, increasing the number of software platforms again by one, from three to four. In 2016, OS X was renamed macOS. In 2019, iPadOS was introduced as the derived version of iOS for iPad, increasing the number of software platforms again by one, from four to five. In 2020, macOS received an increment in its version, from 10 to 11. In 2023, the number of software platforms rose again by one, from five to six, as visionOS was introduced. [citation needed]

# $\equiv$ Gross substitutes (indivisible items)
Article Talk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Gross substitutes. In economics, gross substitutes (GS) is a class of utility functions on indivisible goods. An agent is said to have a GS valuation if, whenever the prices of some items increase and the prices of other items remain constant, the agent's demand for the items whose price remain constant weakly increases.
An example is shown on the right. The table shows the valuations (in dollars) of Alice and Bob to the four possible subsets of the set of two items: {apple, bread}. Alice's valuation is GS, but Bob's valuation is not GS. To see this, suppose that initially both apple and bread are priced at $\$ 6$. Bob's optimal bundle is apple+bread, since it gives him a net value of $\$ 3$. Now, the price of bread increases to $\$ 10$. Now, Bob's optimal bundle is the empty bundle, since all other bundles give him negative net value. So Bob's demand to apple has decreased, although only the price of bread has increased.
| Bundle | Alice's valuation (GS) | Bob's valuation (not GS) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| $\emptyset$ | $\$ 0$ | $\$ 0$ |
| apple | $\$ 5$ | $\$ 5$ |
| bread | $\$ 7$ | $\$ 7$ |
| apple+bread | $\$ 9$ | $\$ 15$ |
The GS condition was introduced by Kelso and Crawford in $1982^{[1]}$ and was greatly publicized by Gul and Stacchetti. ${ }^{[2]}$ Since then it has found many applications, mainly in auction theory and competitive equilibrium theory.
## Definitions [edit]
The GS condition has many equivalent definitions.
## Gross Substitutes (GS) [ edit ]
The original GS definition ${ }^{[1]}$ is based on a price vector and a demand set.
- A price vector $\boldsymbol{p}$ is a vector containing a price for each item.
- Given a utility function $u$ and a price vector $\boldsymbol{p}$, a set $X$ is called a demand if it maximizes the net utility of the agent: $u(X)-p \cdot X$.
- The demand set $D(u, p)$ is the set of all demands.
The GS property means that when the price of some items increases, the demand for other items does not decrease. Formally, for any two price vectors $q$ and $\boldsymbol{p}$ such that $q \geq p$, and any $X \in D(u, p)$, there is a $Y \in D(u, q)$ such that $Y \supseteq\left\{x \in X \mid p_{x}=q_{x}\right\}$ (Y contains all items in X whose price remained constant).
## Single Improvement (SI) [ edit ]
The SI condition ${ }^{[2]}$ says that a non-optimal set can be improved by adding, removing or substituting a single item. Formally, for any price vector $p$ and bundle $X \notin D(u, p)$, there exists a bundle $Y$ such that $u(Y)-p \cdot Y>u(X)-p \cdot X,|X \backslash Y| \leq 1$ and $|Y \backslash X| \leq 1$.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In New Zealand, a state-integrated school is a former private school which has integrated into the state education system under the Private
Schools Conditional Integration Act 1975, becoming a state school while retaining its special character. State-integrated schools were
established by the Third Labour Government in the early 1970s as a response to the near-collapse of the country's then private Catholic school
system, which had run into financial difficulties.)
As of July 2022, there were 335 state-integrated schools in New Zealand, of which 236 identify as Roman Catholic7l!"® 4 They educate
approximately 92,482 students, or 11.2% of New Zealand's student population,“ making them the second-most common type of school in New
Zealand behind non-integrated state schools.
History [esit)
New Zealand's state education system was established in 1877. Prior to then, schools were run by church
groups and other private groups. From 1852 until provinces were abolished in 1876, all schools were
entitled to receive some financial assistance from provincial governments. Under the Education Act 1877,
education became compulsory for all children between 7 and 13 years of age and gave all children between
5 and 15 years of age the entitlement to free and secular education in a state-run school. The secular-
education requirement arose from a deadlock between secularist, Catholic, and Protestant MPs over how
much and what type of religious influence (if any) should be included in state schools. Ultimately, MPs
opted for the safest route by making state education secular. As a result, both Catholic and Protestant
churches continued to organise and expand their own private school systems. "I(4I51
After the Second World War, private religious schools had to cope with increasing rolls due to changes in
the compulsory school starting and leaving ages (the school leaving age was increased to 15 in 1944; the The RightHonourable Jonathan
Hunts credited with the idea of
school starting age was lowered to 6 in 1964) and the post-war baby boom. In addition, private schools had
integrating private schools into the
to keep pace with the drive for higher-quality facilities and smaller class sizes in the state sector, while state school system
dealing with a teacher shortage and the increasing cost of land, equipment and salaries. The Catholic
school system, in particular, had to hire more lay teachers to cope with student numbers — the proportion of
lay teachers in the Catholic system increased from 5 percent in 1956 to 38 percent in 1972 — and more lay teachers meant higher salary costs.
Catholic parishes were struggling to meet the increasing costs while keeping tuition fees down, and ultimately many of them accrued large amounts
of debt or cut costs, causing schools to be run down. By the end of the 1960s, the Catholic school system was facing a financial crisis and was on
the brink of collapse.)
In November 1972, the Labour Party was elected to government, and Prime Minister Norman Kirk immediately sought a solution to the Catholic
‘school funding crisis. The goverment determined the state school system would not be able to cope with an influx of students if the Catholic
system were to collapse, so sought a way for the state to assist them to keep them open. The idea of integrating private schools into the state
system has been credited to MP (and later Speaker of the House) Jonathan Hunt, and after consultation, the Private Schools Conditional Integration

Amy S. Grossberg (born 1978) is an American woman who delivered a baby at a Comfort Inn in Newark, Delaware, in November 1996, assisted only by her then-boyfriend Brian C. Peterson (born 1978), who later threw the baby into a dumpster. In March 1998, Peterson pled guilty to manslaughter and was given the mandatory minimum sentence of two years in prison; on April 22, 1998, Grossberg agreed to a plea bargain, and was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison on July 9, 1998.
## Pregnancy and birth [edit]
Grossberg and Peterson dated while at Ramapo High School, growing up in the affluent suburb of Wyckoff, New Jersey. ${ }^{[1]}$ Grossberg successfully hid the pregnancy from her parents, wanting mostly to shield it from her mother, wearing baggy clothes and avoiding her parents for the course of the nine months. In September, she enrolled as a freshman at the University of Delaware, while Peterson enrolled at college in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. ${ }^{[2]}$

The couple's initial claim that the child was stillborn was quickly rejected. An autopsy indicated that the infant was delivered alive and that the cause of death was several head fractures and Shaken Baby Syndrome. ${ }^{[8][9]}$ The cause of the injuries was inconclusive.

*Live at Woodstock* is a live album released on August 2, 2019 via Fantasy Records. The set documents swamp rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival's set at the Woodstock music festival on August 17, 1969. ${ }^{[1]}$ The release has received positive reviews and moderate chart success.
## Recording and release [edit]
Creedence Clearwater Revival was the first act to sign a contract for August's Woodstock festival in April 1969, for $10,000 (equivalent to $83,000 today). Given their late start time and omission from the *Woodstock* film (at John Fogerty's insistence), Creedence members have expressed bitterness over their experiences regarding the festival. ${ }^{[2]}$
In 1994, "Commotion", "Green River", "Ninety Nine and a Half (Won't Do)", and "I Put a Spell on You" appeared on *Woodstock: Three Days of Peace and Music* and for the 40th anniversary home video release of the film, the band allowed the inclusion of "Born on the Bayou", "I've Put a Spell On You", and "Keep On Chooglin". ${ }^{[3]}$ This album also coincides with a 38-disc box set from Rhino Records compiling the entire festival, *Woodstock – Back to the Garden: The Definitive 50th Anniversary Archive*. ${ }^{[4]}$
## Critical reception [edit]
According to the review aggregator Metacritic, *Live at Woodstock* received "universal acclaim" based on a weighted average score of 84 out of 100 from six critic scores. ${ }^{[5]}$
On AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine said, "Throughout their hour-long set, CCR sound ferocious, tearing through their hardest material ... The hardness of their choogle is a bit of a revelation, as the band sound fiery in a way that they don't on any of the officially released Creedence live recordings." ${ }^{[6]}$
In *American Songwriter*, Hal Horowitz wrote, "The foursome cranks out their songs with requisite energy ... But it's the closing cover of Ray Charles' "Night Time Is the Right Time", plus "Keep on Chooglin'" and "Susie Q", the latter two over ten minutes long, where the sparks really fly ... The remastered audio captures each instrument with surprisingly sharp and clean separation." ${ }^{[7]}$

A gas emissions crater or GEC is a crater that is left by an explosion that is believed to be caused by an overheated buildup of gas stuck below a layer of permafrost. ${ }^{[1]}$ The gas is methane (also known as "natural gas") and is generally believed by experts to have sept up from large underground reserves toward the Earth's surface "through some kind of geological fault,"[1] getting trapped when they reach the bottom of the permafrost. ${ }^{[1][2][3]}$ First known to have occurred in 2013, they are occurring solely in Siberia, where there are large stores of natural gas below a melting surface layer of permafrost. ${ }^{[1]}$ They are believed to be a byproduct of global climate change, since the warming of Siberia's climate weakens the permafrost enough to allow a sub-surface methane buildup to cause an outburst. ${ }^{[1][4]}$ The release of this previously trapped methane into the atmosphere is also likely to increase the speed of global climate change. ${ }^{[1]}$
Gas emission craters were first spotted in 2013;[5] later satellite analysis has indicated that it was formed sometime between October 9 and November 1, 2013. Most famously, the discovery of the Yamal crater [ru] in 2014 quickly drew the attention of world media. ${ }^{[6]}$ As of 2020, there were 17 known gas emissions craters, all of which are in the circumpolar regions of Western Siberia, on either the Yamal Peninsula or the neighboring Gydan Peninsula, which both sit atop large underground methane reserves. ${ }^{[4]}$ They are variously located on land as well as at the bottom of rivers and lakes. Soon after their discovery, the term "gas emissions crater" was proposed and subsequently accepted by the scientific community.
## Cause [edit]
Initially, with the sudden global fame of the Yamal crater [ru], various hypotheses of its origin were put forward, including military tests, meteorite impact, UFOs, or the collapse of an underground gas facility. ${ }^{[7][8]}$ Later, in September 2018, a group of researchers from Moscow State University published an article in the journal Scientific Reports that claimed that the Yamal crater was the first cryovolcano discovered on Earth. ${ }^{[9]}$
Subsequently, however, in the course of scientific research, the scientific community has come to the general conclusion that the crater was formed as a result of the so-called gas release - an underground explosion of methane hydrates which ejects into the air all the rock and soil above it (along with releasing the methane itself). ${ }^{[10][1][2][3]}$ More specifically, their formation most likely occurs under the influence of fluiddynamic processes in permafrost, which lead to the appearance of zones of accumulation of free natural gas near the surface. In this case, when the reservoir pressure of the accumulated gas fluids exceeds the pressure of the overlying strata, an avalanche-like outburst of gas-saturated rocks may occur.
The image features the Yamal crater with a comparison of its state in 2015 and a subsequent view after an explosion revealing a heaved mound. The top portion illustrates the crater as a large, open hole, highlighting its stark appearance in the Siberian landscape. In contrast, the bottom section displays the heaving mound and the aftermath of an explosive methane release. This event exemplifies the underlying fluid-dynamic processes in permafrost regions that lead to gas emission craters, influenced by the buildup and release of methane gas trapped under Siberia's melting permafrost. The visual encapsulates the intersection of geological activity and climate change impact.

The image titled "Cryovolcanism on the Earth" illustrates the concept of cryovolcanism, highlighting geological processes associated with the explosive release of gas beneath permafrost surfaces. It may depict cross-sectional views or diagrams showing the subsurface buildup and subsequent outburst of methane. The image helps contextualize how methane gas trapped under Siberian permafrost contributes to surface explosions, leading to crater formations — a significant finding tied to the phenomenon of gas emission craters. This visual serves as an educational tool, enhancing understanding of cryovolcanic activity on Earth, particularly its relationship with climate change and permafrost dynamics.
Cryovolcanism on the Earth
The image presents a diagram illustrating the concept of cryovolcanism on Earth. This scientific illustration highlights the geological process where cryovolcanoes may form as a result of gas buildup beneath layers of ice or permafrost. Key elements are likely labeled, showing the relationship between subsurface pressures and cryovolcanic eruptions. Such diagrams help explain how factors like methane gas buildup under permafrost in Siberia can lead to explosive craters, contributing to the phenomenon of gas emission craters. This visualization supports understanding of the geological and climatic interactions resulting in these natural occurrences.

| *Not to be confused with proclamation of accession of Charles III.* | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| The investiture of Charles, Prince of Wales (later King Charles III), took place in Caernarfon Castle, north Wales, on 1 July 1969. The ceremony formally presented the title of Prince of Wales to the 20-year-old Charles, eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II. He was the 21st heir to the English or British throne to hold the title. The investiture was a revival of a ceremony which had first been used for the previous prince of Wales, Edward (Charles's great-uncle), in 1911. The 1969 event was watched by 500 million people worldwide on television,^{[1]} but it received some opposition in particular from Welsh nationalist organisations. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Background[edit] | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| The title Prince of Wales is one that has traditionally been bestowed to the male heir apparent of the English or British monarch, since Edward I of England gave his son Edward of Caernarfon the title in 1284. The bestowal is not automatic, however, nor hereditary.^{[2]} Edward had been born in Caernarfon Castle in 1284, possibly a deliberate statement by Edward I to the recently conquered Welsh.^{[3]} The Prince of Wales title came with the royal lands in Wales, as well as the title Earl of Chester. The Prince of Wales spent five weeks in Caernarfon in 1301 but would never return again.^{[3]} | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| After rising against the English, native Welshman Owain Glyndwr proclaimed himself Prince of Wales in 1400 but, since his defeat in 1409, the title has reverted to a ceremonial one, given to heirs of the English throne.^{[2]} | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Queen Elizabeth II made her eldest son, Charles, Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester by letters patent on 26 July 1958 when he was only nine years old. He was the 21st to be given the title.^{[4]} Elizabeth's uncle Edward, the future King Edward VIII, had been the previous Prince of Wales and had been invested in the title at Caernarfon Castle in 1911 before becoming King in 1936.^{[4]} The 1911 ceremony was a new invention, though using medieval symbolism, which would be repeated by Charles's investiture in 1969.^{[5]} | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| The investiture was preceded by a year-long promotional campaign called "Croeso '69" (*Welcome '69*) designed to raise the profile of Wales and promote tourism. The UK's Labour government had ambitions to modernise Britain, including Wales where old industries were being replaced by new businesses and technology.^{[6]} | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| The 1911 gold coronet, having gone missing, needed to be replaced in 1969, though by one with a modern design. After the death of the Duke of Windsor – the former Edward VIII – in 1972, the old coronet was found in his possessions.^{[5]} | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| The show, since the investiture and coronet were produced by the SSS and TTA called Royal Family, was based on technology, the new business | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

See also: Sustainability measurement
Sustainability accounting (also known as social accounting, social and environmental accounting, corporate social reporting, corporate
social responsibility reporting, or non-financial reporting) originated in the 1970s"! and is considered a subcategory of financial accounting that
focuses on the disclosure of non-financial information about a firm's performance to external stakeholders, such as capital holders, creditors, and
other authorities. Sustainability accounting represents the activities that have a direct impact on society, environment, and economic performance of
an organisation.) Sustainability accounting in managerial accounting contrasts with financial accounting in that managerial accounting is used for
internal decision making and the creation of new policies that will have an effect on the organisation's performance at economic, ecological, and
social (known as the triple bottom line or Triple-P's; People, Planet, Profit) level. Sustainability accounting is often used to generate value creation
within an organisation. "=!
Sustainability accounting is a tool used by organisations to become more sustainable. The most known widely used measurements are the
Corporate Sustainability Reporting (CSR) and triple bottom line accounting. These recognise the role of financial information and shows how
traditional accounting is extended by improving transparency and accountability by reporting on the Triple-P's.
As a result of triple bottom level reporting, and in order to render and guarantee consistency in social and environmental information, the GRI
(Global Reporting Initiative) was established with the goal to provide guidelines to organisations reporting on sustainability. In some countries,
guidelines were developed to complement the GRI. The GRI states that “reporting on economic, environmental and social performance by all
organizations is as routine and comparable as financial reporting’.")
In order to help finance teams and accountants embed sustainability into their accounting, King Charles III, then Prince of Wales, set up his
Accounting for Sustainability project (A4S) in 2004.'°)
History [esit)
The concept of sustainability accounting has emerged from developments in accounting.
Broad developments in accounting have occurred over the past forty years, although narrow
developments have occurred over the past ten years. The development reveals two distinct
lines of analysis. The first line is the philosophical debate about accountability if and how it
contributes to sustainable development, and which are the necessary steps towards
sustainability. This approach is based on an entirely new system of accounting designed to
promote a strategy of sustainability. The second line is the management perspective
associated with varied terms and tools towards sustainability. This could be seen as an
extension of or modification to conventional financial cost or management accounting. To
develop sustainability accounting de novo allows a complete reappraisal of the relative
significance of social, environmental and economic benefits and risks and their interactions in corporate accounting systems.(!?-375-375 The

"I'm Gonna Hire a Wino to Decorate Our Home" is a song written by Dewayne Blackwell, and recorded by American country music artist David Frizzell. It was released in April 1982 as the first single from the album The Family's Fine, But This One's All Mine. The song was Frizzell's only number one on the country chart as a solo artist. The single went to number one for one week and spent a total of 14 weeks in country music's top $40 .{ }^{[1]}$
Along with reaching No. 3 on the magazine's Top Country Tracks chart, the song unexpectedly became a mainstream pop hit in Canada, peaking at No. 20 on the RPM Top Singles chart.
## Content [edit]
The song talks of a wife who grows tired of her husband's barhopping (and spending his entire paycheck doing so). She then comes up with a unique plan - she decides to redecorate their house into a bar, and play the part of bartender/waitress as an inducement to get her husband to stay at home (and possibly bring his friends along with him, so they can spend their paychecks). While he recovers from his hangover the following morning, she will deposit the proceeds in their bank account.

NLRB v. SW General, Inc._54376017

| From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | | | | | | |
| NLRB v. SW General, Inc., 580 U.S. ___ (2017), was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that a person who has been nominated by the President of the United States for a position cannot hold the same job on an acting basis while awaiting Senate confirmation.^{[1]}^{[2]}^{[3]} | | | | | | |
| ## Background [edit]
The Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998 requires the executive branch departments and agencies to report to Congress and Government Accountability Office information about the temporary filling of vacant executive agency positions that require presidential appointment with Senate confirmation. It also contains an exception that a nominee can serve on a temporary basis if they previously served for 90 days as a "first assistant" to the person whom they would succeed.^{[4]}
President Barack Obama nominated Lafe Solomon to serve as general counsel at the NLRB in January 2011, which was returned by the Senate in 2013 as it had expired, and again in May 2013.^{[5]} The 2013 nomination was withdrawn in August.^{[6]} SW General, after facing accusations by Solomon's office of unfair labor practices, brought suit, arguing that Solomon's service violated the law, which made the complaint void. On August 7, 2015, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled in favor of the company, in which Judge Karen L. Henderson was joined by Judges Sri Srinivasan and Robert L. Wilkins.^{[7]}
The Supreme Court considered whether the precondition in 5 U.S.C. § 3345(b)(1) on service in an acting capacity by a person nominated by the President to fill the office on a permanent basis applies only to first assistants who take office under 5 U.S.C. § 3345(a)(1), or whether it also limits acting service by officials who assume acting responsibilities under 5 U.S.C. § 3345(a)(2) and 5 U.S.C. § 3345(a)(3).^{[8]} On November 7, 2016, oral arguments were heard before the Supreme Court, where acting Solicitor General Ian Heath Gershengorn appeared for the government.^{[9]}
## Opinion of the Court [edit]
On March 21, 2017, the Supreme Court delivered judgment in favor of the company, voting 6-2 to affirm the lower court.^{[10]} Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that the exception did not cover Solomon, rejected the government's argument that a ruling against it would hamstring future presidents and call into question dozens of temporary appointments made over the years, and dismissed arguments that historical practice supported the government. Since the law was enacted in 1998, three presidents have nominated 112 people for permanent posts who also were serving as acting officials. There was never any objection from Congress.^{[11]} | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Though identified with the Confederates, the Missouri State Guard were technically an independent army, as Missouri had not yet seceded, and were not folded into the Confederate Army of the West until March 17, 1862. Though identified with the Confederates, the Arkansas State Troops were technically not yet Confederate troops. Arkansas had seceded on May 6, 1861, and been recognized as a Confederate State, but Brigadier General Nichols Pearce's troops had not been transferred from the State of Arkansas to the Confederate Government and had not been sworn into Confederate Service.

*This article is about the 1993 film. For the 2021 animated film, see The Addams Family 2.*
*Addams Family Values* is a 1993 American supernatural black comedy film directed by Barry Sonnenfeld and written by Paul Rudnick, based on the characters created by Charles Addams. It is the sequel to *The Addams Family* (1991). The film features almost all the main cast members from the original film, including Anjelica Huston, Raul Julia, Christopher Lloyd, Christina Ricci, Carel Struycken, Jimmy Workman, and Christopher Hart. Joan Cusack, Carol Kane, and David Krumholtz joined the cast for this film.
Compared to its predecessor, which retained something of the madcap approach of the 1960s sitcom, *Addams Family Values* is played more for very dark and macabre laughs. [3] The film revolves around the family's adjustments to the birth of new baby Pubert. Subplots include Fester Addams marrying Pubert's nanny Debbie Jellinsky, who is a serial killer intending to murder him for his inheritance; and teenagers Wednesday and Pugsley Addams being sent to summer camp.
The film was released by Paramount Pictures on November 19, 1993. In contrast to its predecessor's mixed reception, the film was well received by critics; however, it was not as financially successful, with a box office gross of $111 million against a budget of $47 million. In the decades since its release, the film has become acclaimed for its humor and performances. This would be Julia's final theatrical film released during his lifetime; he would appear posthumously in one more film, *Street Fighter* (1994).
Plot [edit]
Gomez and Morticia Addams hire a nanny named Debbie Jellinsky to take care of their newborn son Pubert after a number of failed attempts by his siblings Wednesday and Pugsley to kill him, for which Gomez and Morticia gently rebuke them. Unbeknownst to them, Debbie is a serial killer who marries and then murders rich bachelors to collect their inheritances. After Debbie seduces Uncle Fester, Wednesday becomes suspicious of her intentions. In an effort to maintain her cover, Debbie tricks Gomez and Morticia into believing Wednesday and Pugsley want to go to summer camp.
Wednesday and Pugsley are sent to Camp Chippewa, managed by the always cheerful and lively Gary and Becky Granger, where they are singled out by the counselors and popular and snobbish girl Amanda Buckman for their macabre appearance and behavior. Joel Glicker, a nerdy bookworm and fellow outcast, becomes attracted to Wednesday. Debbie and Fester become engaged.
At her bachelorette party, Debbie is repulsed by the Addams family and their relatives. At their

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Art Fund (formerly the National Art Collections Fund) is an independent membership-based British charity, which raises funds to aid the acquisition of artworks for the nation. It gives grants and acts as a channel for many gifts and bequests, as well as lobbying on behalf of museums and galleries and their users. It relies on members' subscriptions and public donations for funds and does not receive funding from the government or the National Lottery.
Since its foundation in 1903 the Fund has been involved in the acquisition of over 860,000 works of art of every kind, including many of the most famous objects in British public collections, such as Velázquez's Rokeby Venus in the National Gallery, Picasso's Weeping Woman in the Tate collection, the Anglo-Saxon Staffordshire Hoard in Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery and the medieval Canterbury Astrolabe Quadrant in the British Museum. ${ }^{[3]}$
## History [edit]
This section needs expansion with: history between 1906 and 2005. You can help by adding to it. (September 2023)
The original idea for an arts charity can be traced to a lecture given by John Ruskin in 1857 when he called for the establishment of a "great society" to save works of art for public collections and "watch over" them.
At the start of the 20th century owners of private art collections, under financial pressure, began to auction off many great works of art, often to wealthy citizens of other countries. Artist and critic D. S. MacColl published his concerns and suggested setting up a public organisation to fundraise. ${ }^{[4]}$ The National Art Collections Fund was founded in 1903 in order to help museums and galleries acquire works of art. The founders, who included MacColl, Christiana Herringham, Roger Fry and Robin Benson, ${ }^{[5]}$ were prompted by what they saw as the inadequacy of government funding of museums. Members paid a guinea per year, and donations were welcomed. Herringham wrote to Lord Balcarres, the first chairman, "If we are to influence public opinion we ought only to buy for the nation work that is of its kind first-class... It should be worthy of a prominent place and we should be proud to have presented to the Nation work of intrinsically fine quality." An early campaign by the Fund was to acquire Velázquez's Rokeby Venus. ${ }^{[4]}$
Art critic Frank Rutter said it made him "boil with rage" that the Fund had spent thousands of pounds on Old Master paintings, some of which he considered of dubious merit or condition, but "would not contribute one half penny" to his appeal in 1905 to buy the first Impressionist painting for the National Gallery, although it welcomed the prestige of presenting the painting, Eugène Boudin's The Entrance to Trouville Harbour, the following year. ${ }^{[6]}$ He said "the Fund's inertia and snobbish ineptitude are entirely characteristic of the art-officialdom in England." ${ }^{[6]}$

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Indian Banks" redirects here. For the historic house in the United States, see Indian Banks (Simonson, Virginia). Modern banking in India originated in the mid of 18th century. Among the first banks were the Bank of Hindustan, which was established in 1770 and liquidated in 1829-32; and the General Bank of India, established in 1786 but failed in 1791. ${ }^{[1][2][3][4]}$
The largest and the oldest bank which is still in existence is the State Bank of India (SBI). It originated and started working as the Bank of Calcutta in mid-June 1806. In 1809, it was renamed as the Bank of Bengal. This was one of the three banks founded by a presidency government, the other two were the Bank of Bombay in 1840 and the Bank of Madras in 1843. The three banks were merged in 1921 to form the Imperial Bank of India, which upon India's independence, became the State Bank of India in 1955. For many years, the presidency banks had acted as quasi-central banks, as did their successors, until the Reserve Bank of India ${ }^{[5]}$ was established in 1935, under the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934. ${ }^{[6][7]}$
In 1960, the State Banks of India was given control of eight state-associated banks under the State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act, 1959. However the merger of these associated banks with SBI went into effect on 1 April 2017. In 1969, the Government of India nationalised 14 major private banks; one of the big banks was Bank of India. In 1980, 6 more private banks were nationalised. ${ }^{[8]}$ These nationalised banks are the majority of lenders in the Indian economy. They dominate the banking sector because of their large size and widespread networks. ${ }^{[9]}$

The Indian banking sector is broadly classified into scheduled and non-scheduled banks. The scheduled banks are those included under the 2nd Schedule of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934. The scheduled banks are further classified into: nationalised banks; State Bank of India and its associates; Regional Rural Banks (RRBs); foreign banks; and other Indian private sector banks. ${ }^{[7]}$ The SBI has merged its Associate banks into itself to create the largest Bank in India on 1 April 2017. With this merger SBI has a global ranking of 236 on Fortune 500 index.

Generally the supply, product range and reach of banking in India is fairly mature-even though reach in rural India and to the poor still remains a challenge.

| "Person of Interest" is a song by American recording artist Rebecca Black. It was released on the iTunes Store under the label RB Records, as Black's third single on November 15, 2011.

| ### Background [edit] | | | | | | |
| On October 25, 2011, Black announced via Twitter that she was in the filming process of her music video for her upcoming single. Five days later Black confirmed that the title of the upcoming single was "Person of Interest".

| ### Composition [edit] | | | | | | |
| "Person of Interest" |
| A sample of the song's chorus. |
| *Problems playing this file? See media help.* | | | | | | |
| The song is played in an E minor key and follows the chord progression C–G/B–Em for most of the song.[4] Rebecca Black describes "Person of Interest" as "a love song but it's not a love song. It's about almost teenage crushes — when you're not in love yet but you really like a guy — which I'm really excited about because I don't think there are too many out like that. It's very much a dance type song. It will make you get up and dance and sing along in your car."[2] |
| The song opens with Black singing "When I talk, you listen, I like that/When you listen, you smile and I like that/Why you lookin' lookin' at me just like that?" Near the end of the song, Black sings "Can't deny, you're implicated/In the mayhem in my mind/What has got me so frustrated/You should be mine, you should be mine"[5] | | | | | | |

| ### Reception [edit] | | | | | | |
| "Person of Interest" received mixed to negative reviews from music critics.[6] Entertainment Weekly admitted that the song "could totally pass as a throwaway Selena Gomez or early Miley Cyrus track, so she's got that going for her in the teen-pop realm."[7] James Montgomery of MTV News criticized the use of pitch correction on Black's vocals saying "Her voice is still lacquered with studio sheen, particularly on the chorus and the "emotive" breakdown toward the back end, when all the instrumentation falls away and we're left with nothing more than Black's squelched-yet-slippery vocals."[8] Nora Gasparian of HollyscoopTV described the song as "corny" and said "The song actually sounds a lot like Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night (T.C.I.E.)"[9] Lauren Cratsey of KQvideo stated "The lyrics are lacking a bit but it's a far cry better than what we saw in "Friday"."[10] |

Kirkgate Market (pronounced /ˈkɜːrɡət/) is a market complex on Vicar Lane in the city centre of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It is the largest covered market in Europe[2][3] and a Grade I listed building. ${ }^{[1]}$ There are currently 800 stalls which attract over 100,000 visitors a week.
## Location [edit]
The markets are situated with their front facing onto Vicar Lane and the southern face onto Kirkgate. To the east is Leeds City bus station, while to the north is the Victoria Gate development. To the south of the open market is the markets multi-storey car park operated by National Car Parks (NCP). From across Vicar Lane, the markets are connected to Briggate via the Victoria Quarter.
## History [edit]
## Origins [edit]
The markets first opened in 1822 as an open-air market, and between 1850 and 1875 the first covered sections of the market had been constructed after the market moved from Briggate. ${ }^{[4]}$ The Central Market hall, built alongside Duncan Street, was surrounded on three sides by shops that were mainly rented to butchers and fishmongers. Inside the hall, stalls were erected for the sale of fruit, vegetables, and dairy produce, with the balcony being used for selling fancy goods. ${ }^{[5]}$ The South Market, bordering Hunslet Lane and Meadow Lane, was used by butchers, various goods shops, open stalls, nine slaughterhouses and eighteen homes. ${ }^{[5]}$
Plans for a market on the Kirkgate site were first unveiled in 1850 by Borough Commissioner to plans modelled on Joseph Paxton's Crystal Palace in London's Hyde Park. Development began on the current site in 1857. Then in 1875, further land was acquired to the South and East for the expansion of the market. ${ }^{[6]}$
The Corn Exchange and First and Third White Cloth Halls were all situated in close proximity, creating a market area in the city centre. The Third White Cloth Hall moved to Queen Street in 1865, ending this concentrated area of market trading.

Mark Everett Sloan, ${ }^{[1]}$ M.D., F.A.C.S. is a fictional character from ABC's medical drama television series Grey's Anatomy, portrayed by Eric Dane. Created by showrunner Shonda Rhimes, the character was introduced in season two as Derek Shepherd's best friend. Mark caused the end of Derek's marriage by sleeping with Derek's then-wife, Addison Montgomery. Mark moves to Seattle in season three to make amends with Derek and becomes Seattle Grace Hospital's new plastic surgery attending, after which he is dubbed "McSteamy" by the female interns for his good looks. Mark's focal storyline in the series involved his romantic relationship with Lexie Grey (Chyler Leigh), one of the interns who was on his service when they started dating. ${ }^{[2]}$ Both he and Lexie sustained fatal injuries during an aviation accident in the eighth-season finale, and Seattle Grace Mercy West is later renamed Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital after their passing.
## Storylines [edit]
Mark first appears in season two. He is a highly respected plastic surgeon, sub-specialized in otolaryngology and the childhood best friend of neurosurgeon Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey). In his first appearance, he flirts with Meredith Grey, and Derek punches him in the face. Derek explains that Mark had an affair with his wife, Addison (Kate Walsh) while they were living in New York, causing Derek to leave New York. Mark travels to Seattle, intent on convincing Addison to return with him to New York, but his offer is rejected and Derek declines to renew their friendship. Mark returns during season three at Addison's drunken behest, but she again rejects him once sober. Undeterred, Mark sells his successful private practice (which he previously shared with Derek) and takes over the plastics service at Seattle Grace Hospital. During Meredith's morphine rampage, Mark finds out about his nickname McSteamy, which was given to him during his first trip to Seattle when he attempted to get Addison back and re-earn Derek's friendship. It is later revealed that Mark has slept with all of Derek's sisters. Mark has a brief fling with Addison's friend, orthopedic surgeon Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez), and develops a friendship with Derek's girlfriend, intern Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo). It is revealed that after Derek left New York, Mark and Addison continued their relationship for two months, during which she conceived and aborted his child. Addison broke their relationship off after she caught him with another woman. Just weeks after moving to Seattle, he quickly observes that Derek's true love is Meredith and0 tries to convince Addison that her marriage with Derek is over. Mark enters into a sixty-day abstinence pact with Addison, agreeing that if he can remain celibate for that time, Addison will give their relationship another chance. Addison ultimately breaks the pact by having sex with intern Alex Karev (Justin Chambers), and soon thereafter departs from Seattle to work in Los Angeles.

This article is about the drainage basin. For the geologic feature, see Amazon Basin (sedimentary basin).
The Amazon basin is the part of South America drained by the Amazon River and its tributaries. The Amazon drainage basin covers an area of about $7,000,000 \mathrm{~km}^{2}(2,700,000 \mathrm{sq} \mathrm{mi}),{ }^{[1]}$ or about 35.5 percent of the South American continent. It is located in the countries of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela, as well as the territory of French Guiana. ${ }^{[2][3]}$
Most of the basin is covered by the Amazon rainforest, also known as Amazonia. With a 5.5 million $\mathrm{km}^{2}$ ( 2.1 million sq mi ) area of dense tropical forest, it is the largest rainforest in the world.
## Geography [edit]
The Amazon River begins in the Andes Mountains at the west of the basin with its main tributary the Marañón River and Apurimac River in Peru. The highest point in the watershed of the Amazon is the second biggest peak of Yerupajá at 6,635 metres ( $21,768 \mathrm{ft}$ ).
The Amazon River Basin occupies the entire central and eastern area of South America, lying to the east of the Andes mountain range and extending from the Guyana Plateau in the north to the Brazilian Plateau in the south.
With a length of about $6,400 \mathrm{~km}(4,000 \mathrm{mi})$ before it drains into the Atlantic Ocean, it is one of the two longest rivers in the world. A team of scientists has claimed that the Amazon is longer than the Nile, ${ }^{[4]}$ but debate about its exact length continues. ${ }^{[5]}$
The Amazon system transports the largest volume of water of any river system, accounting for about 20\% of the total water carried to the oceans by rivers. Some of the Amazon rainforests are deforested because
The image is a map illustrating the Amazon River Basin, highlighting its coverage across countries in South America like Brazil, Peru, Colombia, and others. This basin forms part of the Amazon drainage system, one of the world's largest, which covers about 7 million square kilometers or approximately 35.5% of the continent. The image shows significant geographical features including the Amazon River and its tributaries, emphasizing its eastward flow due to the Andes Mountain formation. Such visual context supports the geographic understanding of this critical area, underlining its ecological and hydrological importance.

The image depicts the mouth of the Amazon River, where the river's expansive waters merge into the Atlantic Ocean. Known for its immense discharge volume, the Amazon contributes around 20% of the total freshwater entering the oceans globally. This final stretch of the river represents the culmination of its approximately 6,400 km (4,000 mi) journey, making it one of the longest and most voluminous rivers in the world. The lush surrounding environment is part of the Amazon basin's extensive tropical rainforest, underscoring the ecological richness of this region.

Politically the basin is divided into Peruvian Amazonia, Amazônia Legal of Brazil, the Amazon natural region of Colombia, Amazonas (Venezuelan state), and parts of Bolivia and Ecuador.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2017 **Money in the Bank** was the eighth annual Money in the Bank professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by WWE. It was held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's SmackDown brand division. The event took place on June 18, 2017, at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri. It was the first event to feature a women's Money in the Bank ladder match, and was also the only brand-exclusive Money in the Bank event to be held during either of WWE's brand extension periods.
Seven matches were contested at the event, including one on the Kickoff pre-show and two Money in the Bank ladder matches on the main card. In the main event, Baron Corbin won the men's ladder match, earning a contract for a WWE Championship match, while Carmella controversially won the first women's ladder match to earn a SmackDown Women's Championship match contract. In another prominent match, Jinder Mahal defeated Randy Orton to retain the WWE Championship. The event was also notable for the return of Maria Kanellis, who had last performed in WWE in December 2009, and the WWE debut of her husband, Mike Kanellis.
## Production [edit]
### Background [edit]
Money in the Bank is an annual professional wrestling event produced by WWE since 2010, generally held between June and July. The concept of the event comes from WWE's established Money in the Bank ladder match, in which multiple wrestlers use ladders to retrieve a briefcase hanging above the ring. The briefcase contains a contract that guarantees the winner a match for a world championship at any time within the next year.^{[2]} Following the reintroduction of the brand extension in July 2016, in which WWE again divided its roster between the Raw and SmackDown brands where wrestlers exclusively perform, the 2017 event was made a SmackDown-exclusive pay-per-view (PPV). For the first time in the event's history, the 2017 event featured a women's Money in the Bank ladder match, which is now featured at every year's event.^{[3]} As the 2017 event was a SmackDown-exclusive show, the respective male and female winners received title match contracts for SmackDown's world championships at the time: the WWE Championship and the SmackDown Women's Championship. Announced on December 27, 2016, the 2017 event was the eighth Money in the Bank and took place on June 18, 2017, at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri. The event aired on PPV worldwide and was livestreamed on the WWE Network.^{[4]} Tickets went on sale on February 17 through Ticketmaster.^{[5]}

| **Railway budget of India** was the Annual Financial Statement of the state-owned Indian Railways, which handles rail transport in India. It was presented every year by the Minister of Railways, representing the Ministry of Railways, in the Parliament.
The Railway Budget was presented every year, a few days before the Union budget, till 2016. Modi government on 21 September 2016 approved merger of the Rail and General budgets from the next year, ending a 92-year-old practice of a separate budget for the nation's largest transporter. Railways Minister Suresh Prabhu said that this merger proposal was in the long term interest of railways as well as the country's economy and was a colonial practice that needed to be ended.^{[1]} | | | | | | |

| Following the recommendation of the Acworth Committee in 1920–21, headed by British railway economist William Acworth^{[2]} The "Acworth Report" led to reorganisation of railways, the railway finances were separated from the general government finances in 1924. After that in 1924 the budget was announced, a practice that continued till 2016.^{[3]}^{[4]}^{[5]}
John Matthai presented the first Railway Budget for independent India on 20 November 1947 which was interim Railway Budget and only after 3 months he presented his second Railway Budget on 24 February 1948 where revised estimates showed a fall in earnings of about 8 crores rupees as compared with the budget estimates.^{[6]}^{[7]}
Jagjivan Ram presented the railway budget most 7 times.^{[8]}
The first live telecast took place on 24 March 1994.^{[9]}
Lalu Prasad Yadav, who remained Railways Minister from 2004 to May 2009, presented the railway budget 6 times in a row. In 2009, under his tenure a ₹108 billion (US$1.4 billion) budget was passed.^{[10]}
In the year 1999, Mamata Banerjee (later Chief Minister of West Bengal) became the first female Railway Minister. In 2000, she became the first female to present the Railway budget^{[11]} and is the only woman to do so for two different governing coalitions (NDA and UPA).
In 2014 budget, Railway Minister D. V. Sadananda Gowda announced the first bullet train and 9 High-Speed Rail routes.^{[12]}

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ussurisky Nature Reserve (Russian: Уссурийский заповедник Ussuriyskiy zapavyednik) (also Ussuriysky; V.L. Komarov Reserve) is a Russian 'zapovednik' (strict nature reserve) that protects one of the remaining virgin mixed deciduous-conifer forests in the Primorsky (Maritime) region of the Russian Far East. The mountainous terrain is located on a southern spur of the Sikhote-Alin Mountains, in the upper reaches of the Komarovka River, about 50 km northeast of the city of Vladivostok. The reserve is named after Vladimir L. Komarov, an important early botanist and early explorer of the Primorsky region. The Ussursisky Reserve is situated in the Shkotovsky District of Primorsky Krai. ${ }^{[1][2]}$
## Topography [edit]
The Ussurisky Reserve lies in the Przewalski Mountains, as this southern spur of the SikhoteAlin is known. The terrain is mountainous and forested; in the east of the reserve are the headwaters of the right tributaries of the Artemivka River. To the west and north, the foothills flatten out towards the lowlands of Lake Khanka, which is 100 km to the northwest. The main line of the Sikhote-Alin runs towards the northeast. The average altitude is 400-500 meters above sea level, 700 meters. The headwaters of the Komarovka River flow out of the reserve west to the city of Ussuriysk, the Artemivka River flows south into the Ussuri Bay of the Sea of Japan. ${ }^{[2]}$
## Climate and ecoregion [edit]
Ussurisky is located in the Ussuri broadleaf and mixed forests ecoregion, a region in the middle Amur River basin, in the Russian Far East, on the west slope of the Sikhote-Alin Mountains. ${ }^{[3][4]}$
The climate of Ussurisky is Humid continental climate, warm summer subtype (Köppen climate classification (Dwb)). ${ }^{[5][6]}$ The average temperature in January (the coldest month) is $-17,9 \mathrm{C}$ degrees, and +19.7 C degrees in August (the warmest month).
## Flora and fauna [edit]
Because the reserve has been built up over time since its creation in 1932, some of the sectors have had long term protection, while others have experience commercial logging. This allows scientists to track the differing recovery processes of the forest ecosystems. The core, oldest protected area is about 16,000 hectares, about onethird of the territory. The main tree species are cedar broadleaf species such as Monoburian ash and Japanese elm in the lowlands, Korean pine

Macroeconomic regulation and control (simplified Chinese: 宏观调控; traditional Chinese: 宏觀調控; pinyin: Hóngguān tiáokòng) often abbreviated Macro-control (simplified Chinese: 宏调; traditional Chinese: 宏調; pinyin: Hóngtiáo) refers to the use of direct government intervention by the central government of the People's Republic of China to cool down the overheated economy. The policy was first introduced in 1993 by Zhu Rongji, Premier of the People's Republic of China and Governor of the People's Bank of China at the time. His policies included collective measures to constrain monetary policy, suppress real estate and stock markets, control inflation, lower supplies of raw materials and reduce domestic consumption. The purpose was to achieve a so-called soft landing of an economy that was growing too fast.
As all these measures can vastly affect the economy and political stability, macro-control has become a hot topic to economic and political observers of the People's Republic of China.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is based on a glossary attached to the fifth Report of the Committee of the House of Commons on Indian affairs, appointed in 1810, comprising Hindustani words commonly used in the administration of the British Raj (British India).
English language public instruction began in India in the 1830s during the rule of the East India Company (India was then, and is today, one of the most linguistically diverse regions of the world ${ }^{[1]}$ ). In 1835, English replaced Persian as the official language of the Company. Lord Macaulay played a major role in introducing English and western concepts to education in India. He supported the replacement of Persian by English as the official language, the use of English as the medium of instruction in all schools, and the training of English-speaking Indians as teachers. ${ }^{[2]}$ Throughout the 1840s and 1850s, primary, middle, and high-schools were opened in many districts of British India, with most high-schools offering English language instruction in some subjects. In 1857, just before the end of Company rule, universities modelled on the University of London and using English as the medium of instruction were established in Bombay, Calcutta and Madras. During the British Raj, lasting from 1858 to 1947, English language penetration increased throughout India. This was driven in part by the gradually increasing hiring of Indians in the civil services. At the time of India's independence in 1947, English was the only functional lingua franca in the country.
It used British spellings and contemporary interpretations, many which have passed into the English vocabulary. ${ }^{[3]}$
