decentralisation is the process of redistributing or dispersing functions, powers, people or things away from a central location or authority | |
centralization, especially in the governmental sphere, is widely studied | |
The meaning of decentralization may vary in part because of the different ways it is applied. | |

The NAIC acts as a forum for the creation of model laws and regulations. | |
Each state decides whether to pass each NAIC model law or regulation | |
each state may make changes in the enactment process | |
NAIC model acts and regulations provide some degree of uniformity between states | |
these models do not have the force of law and have no effect unless they are adopted by a state. | |
The idea of an optional federal charter was first raised after a spate of solvency and capacity | |
capacity issues plagued property and casualty insurers | |
in the 1970s. | |
This OFC concept was to establish an elective federal regulatory scheme that insurers could opt into from the traditional state system | |

its insureds in states in which it is nonadmitted will not enjoy certain types of protection available to insureds in states in which the insurer is admitted. | |

Hilbert-style deductive systems, natural deduction, the sequent calculus, the tableaux method | |
are often called derivations in proof theory | |
They are also often called proofs | |
one common rule of inference is the rule of substitution | |
then φ[t/x] (often denoted φ[x/t]) | |
one can conclude φ[t/x] from φ provided that no free variable of t becomes bound | |
If some free variable of t becomes bound, then to substitute t for x it is first necessary to change the bound variables of φ | |
by renaming the bound variable x of φ to something else, say z | |
which will be false in many interpretations. The problem is that the free variable x of t became bound during the substitution. | |
The intended replacement can be obtained by renaming the bound variable x of φ to something else, say z | |
The substitution rule | |
It is entirely syntactical | |
It has (syntactically defined) limitations on when it can be applied | |
because of interactions between free and bound variables that occur during syntactic manipulations of the formulas involved in the inference rule. | |
a list of formulas, each of which is a logical axiom | |
a hypothesis that has been assumed for the derivation at hand, or follows from previous formulas via a rule of inference | |
The logical axioms consist of several axiom schemas of logically valid formulas | |
The rules of inference enable the manipulation of quantifiers. | |
Typical Hilbert-style systems have a small number of rules of inference, along with several infinite schemas of logical axioms. | |

Tin is a malleable, ductile and highly crystalline silvery-white metal. | |
Tin melts at a low temperature of about 232 °C (450 °F) | |
a crackling sound known as the tin cry can be heard due to the twinning of the crystals | |
177.3 °C (351.1 °F) for 11 nm particles | |
β-tin (the metallic form, or white tin), which is stable at and above room temperature, is malleable. | |
α-tin (nonmetallic form, or gray tin), which is stable below 13.2 °C (55.8 °F) | |
Two more allotropes, γ and σ, exist at temperatures above 161 °C (322 °F) and pressures above several GPa | |
on the addition of Sb or Bi, the transformation may not occur at all, increasing the durability of the tin. | |
In cold conditions, β-tin tends to transform spontaneously into α-tin, a phenomenon known as "tin pest". | |
because of the inhibiting effect of the small amounts of bismuth, antimony, lead and silver present as impurities. | |
Tin tends rather easily to form hard, brittle intermetallic phases, which are often undesirable. | |
copper, antimony, bismuth, cadmium and silver increase its hardness. | |
Simple eutectic systems, however, occur with bismuth, gallium, lead, thallium and zinc. | |

Relief is a sculptural technique where the sculpted elements remain attached to a solid background of the same material. | |
The term relief is from the Latin verb relevo, to raise | |
The technique involves considerable chiselling away of the background, which is a time-consuming exercise. | |
a relief saves forming the rear of a subject, and is less fragile and more securely fixed than a sculpture in the round | |
bronze reliefs are made by casting | |
There are different degrees of relief depending on the degree of projection of the sculpted form from the field | |
more than 50% of the depth is shown and there may be undercut areas | |
where the plane is only very slightly lower than the sculpted elements | |
Ancient Egypt | |
The opposite of relief sculpture is counter-relief, intaglio | |
where the form is cut into the field or background rather than rising from it | |
Works in the technique are described as "in relief | |
Hyphens may or may not be used in all these terms | |
the work itself is "a relief". | |
throughout the world on the walls of buildings and a variety of smaller settings, | |
Relief is more suitable for depicting complicated subjects with many figures and very active poses, such as battles, than free-standing "sculpture in the round | |
Most ancient architectural reliefs were originally painted, which helped to define forms in low relief. | |
reference assumed in this article to be usually figures, but sculpture in relief often depicts | |
in the arabesques of Islamic art, | |
The distinction between high and low relief is somewhat subjective, and the two are very often combined in a single work | |
many single figures have heads in high relief | |
raised reliefs, whether high or low, were normally "blocked out" | |
usually in the background | |
a projecting image with a shallow overall depth | |
low relief | |
In the art of Ancient Egypt and other ancient Near Eastern and Asian cultures, and also Meso-America | |

Between 1917 and 1939, the people of Manipur pressed for their rights against the British Rule. | |
the princely state of Manipur negotiated with the British administration its preference to be part of India, rather than Burma. | |
These negotiations were cut short with the outbreak of World War II. | |
On 21 September 1949, Maharaja Budhachandra signed a Treaty of Accession merging the kingdom into India. | |
The Shan or Pong called the area Cassay, the Burmese Kathe, and the Assamese Meklee. | |
Bhagyachandra and his successors issued coins engraved with "Manipureshwar", or "lord of Manipur", and the British discarded the name Meckley. | |
In the first treaty between the British East India Company and Meidingu Chingthangkhomba (Bhagyachandra) signed in 1762, the kingdom was recorded as Meckley. | |
Later on, the work Dharani Samhita (1825–34) popularised the Sanskrit legends of the origin of Manipur's name. | |
A separatist movement has been active in Manipur since 1964, when United National Liberation Front was founded. | |
tribal peoples have demanded division of the present state into two or three Indian states along ethnic lines. | |
This is considered one of India's "sensitive areas", due to its political troubles and isolated geography. | |
Foreign travelers must gain permission from the government to enter the state. | |
The first armed opposition group in Manipur, the United National Liberation Front (UNLF) | |
in 1977 the People's Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (PREPAK) was formed | |
was founded in 1964, which declared that it wanted to gain independence from India and form Manipur as a new country. | |
the People's Liberation Army (PLA) was formed in 1978 which Human Rights Watch states as having received arms and training from China. | |
In 1980, the Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP) was formed. These groups began a spree of bank robberies and attacks on police officers and government buildings. | |
The total area covered by the state is 22,347 square kilometres (8,628 sq mi). | |
The state lies at a latitude of 23°83'N – 25°68'N and a longitude of 93°03'E – 94°78'E. | |
The mountain ranges create a moderated climate, preventing the cold winds from the north from reaching the valley | |
