Government of India Act 1858

The **Government of India Act 1858** was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (21 & 22 Vict. c. 106) passed on August 2, 1858. Its provisions called for the liquidation of the British East India Company (who had up to this point been ruling British India under the auspices of Parliament) and the transference of its functions to the British Crown.

Hexadecagon

An **hexadecagon** or **hexakaidecagon** is a shape with 16 sides and 16 corners.

## Regular hexadecagon 
A *regular hexadecagon* is a hexadecagon in which all angles are equal and all sides are congruent. Its Schläfli symbol is {16} and can be constructed as a truncated octagon, t{8}, and a twice-truncated square tt{4}. A truncated hexadecagon, t{16}, is a triacontadigon, {32}.

### Area 
The area of a regular hexadecagon with edge length *t* is
:\begin{align}
A = 4t^2 \cot \frac{\pi}{16} =& 4t^2 \left(1+\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{ 4+2\sqrt{2} }\right)\\
=& 4t^2 (\sqrt{2}+1)(\sqrt{4-2\sqrt{2}}+1)
.\end{align}

Because the hexadecagon has a number of sides that is a power of two, its area can be computed in terms of the circumradius *R* by truncating Viète's formula:
:A=R^2\cdot\frac{2}{1}\cdot\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}\cdot\frac{2}{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}}}=4R^2\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}}.

Since the area of the circumcircle is \pi R^2, the regular hexadecagon fills approximately 97.45% of its circumcircle.

## Dissection
Coxeter states that every parallel-sided 2*m*-gon can be divided into m(m-1)/2 rhombs. For the *regular hexadecagon*, *m*=8, and it can be divided into 28: 4 squares and 3 sets of 8 rhombs. This decomposition is based on a Petrie polygon projection of a 8-cube, with 28 of 1792 faces.  The list A006245 enumerates the number of solutions as 1232944, including up to 16-fold rotations and chiral forms in reflection.

## Skew hexadecagon 
A **skew hexadecagon** is a skew polygon with 24 vertices and edges but not existing on the same plane. The interior of such an hexadecagon is not generally defined. A *skew zig-zag hexadecagon* has vertices alternating between two parallel planes.

A **regular skew hexadecagon** is vertex-transitive with equal edge lengths. In 3-dimensions it will be a zig-zag skew hexadecagon and can be seen in the vertices and side edges of a octagonal antiprism with the same D8d, [2+,16] symmetry, order 32. The octagrammic antiprism, s{2,16/3} and octagrammic crossed-antiprism, s{2,16/5} also have regular skew octagons.

## In art
]]
In the early 16th century, Raphael was the first to construct a perspective image of a regular hexadecagon: the tower in his painting *The Marriage of the Virgin* has 16 sides, elaborating on an eight-sided tower in a previous painting by Pietro Perugino.

]]
Hexadecagrams (16-sided star polygons) are included in the Girih patterns in the Alhambra.

## Irregular hexadecagons 
An octagonal star can be seen as a concave hexadecagon:

Isosceles triangle

In geometry, an **isosceles triangle** is a triangle that has two sides of equal length. Sometimes it is specified as having two *and only two* sides of equal length, and sometimes as having *at least* two sides of equal length, the latter version thus including the equilateral triangle as a special case.
Examples of isosceles triangles include the isosceles right triangle, the golden triangle, and the faces of bipyramids and certain Catalan solids.

The mathematical study of isosceles triangles dates back to ancient Egyptian mathematics and Babylonian mathematics. Isosceles triangles have been used as decoration from even earlier times, and appear frequently in architecture and design, for instance in the pediments and gables of buildings.

The two equal sides are called the legs and the third side is called the base of the triangle. The other dimensions of the triangle, such as its height, area, and perimeter, can be calculated by simple formulas from the lengths of the legs and base.
Every isosceles triangle has an axis of symmetry along the perpendicular bisector of its base. The two angles opposite the legs are equal and are always acute, so the classification of the triangle as acute, right, or obtuse depends only on the angle between its two legs.
I'm Your Man (Leonard Cohen album)

'''''I'm Your Man''''' is the eighth studio album by Leonard Cohen, released in 1988. The album marked Cohen's further move to a more modern sound.

Indian Independence Act 1947

The **Indian Independence Act 1947** (1947 c. 30 (10 & 11. Geo. 6.)) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that partitioned British India into the two new Independent Dominions of India and Pakistan.  The Act received the royal assent on 18 July 1947, and Pakistan came into being on 14 August and India came into being on 15 August.

## Partition of Empire
There was much violence, and many Muslims from what would become India fled to Pakistan; and Hindus and Sikhs from what would become Pakistan fled to India. Many people left behind all their possessions and property to avoid the violence and flee to their new country.

## Repeal
The Indian Independence Act was subsequently repealed in Article 395 of the Constitution of India and in Article 221 of the Constitution of Pakistan of 1956, both constitutions being intended to bring about greater independence for the new states. Although the new constitutions did not have the legal authority to repeal the Act, the repeal was intended to establish them as independent legal systems based only on home-grown legislation. The Act has not been repealed in the United Kingdom, where it still has effect, although some sections of it have been repealed.

Time in Hawaii

Hawaii has one time zone, called Hawaii–Aleutian Time (HST), which subtracts 10 hours from UTC (UTC−10:00). Hawaii does not use daylight saving time.

## History
Before 1896, Hawaii did not use a standard time zone. On January 8, 1896, the minister of the interior of the Provisional Government of Hawaii made a standard time zone. It was called Hawaiian Standard Time, and it subtracted ten and a half hours from UTC (UTC−10:30). Hawaii started using Hawaiian Standard Time on January 13, 1896, at noon. On May 19, 1947, the Legislature passed a law to change Hawaiian Standard Time to UTC−10:00. Hawaii would start using this new time on June 8, 1947.

In 1966, Congress passed a law called the Uniform Time Act. This law made new time zones for all of the United States. Hawaii was put into the Alaska–Hawaii Time Zone. On March 30, 1967, the Hawaii State Legislature passed a law that said Hawaii would not use daylight saving time. The name of the time zone was changed to "Hawaii-Aleutian Time Zone" in 1984.

Flag of Nepal

]]

The national **flag of Nepal** () was created in December 1962. It is the only national flag in the world that doesn't have four sides.

The current flag was adopted on 16 December 1962, along with the formation of a new constitutional government. It borrows from the original, traditional design, used throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, and is a combination of the two individual flags used by rival branches of the ruling dynasty.

## Appearance 
It has a combination of two red pennants with the large blue border around the unique shape of two overlapping right triangles: the smaller upper triangle bears the white stylised moon (the rising sun on the horizontal crescent moon) and the larger lower triangle displays the white twelve-pointed sun.

## Incorrect versions 
 venues]]
Because of the Nepalese flag's unique shape, its large-scale reproduction is difficult. It is sometimes put on a white area to make the flag a rectangle; an example is the Nepalese flag used at some venues of the 2016 Summer Olympics where the flag design was placed on a cloth with the same shape as other flags at the Olympics, with the rest of the flag left white.

During a visit of the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Janakpur, a version of the flag with incorrect shape was flown by officials, causing controversy.

Textile arts

by Robert Peake the Elder, 1610.]]

**Textile arts** are arts and crafts that use plant, animal or synthetic fibres to construct practical or decorative objects.

Textiles have been used since the beginning of civilization. Many methods and materials used to make them, but the functions of textiles have stayed the same.  

The history of textile arts is also the history of international trade.  Tyrian purple ("imperial purple") dye was important in the ancient Mediterranean.  The Silk Road brought Chinese silk to India, North Africa, and Europe.  In many countries, laws controlled who could buy and wear fine textiles. This was because they were a symbol of social class and status.

The Industrial Revolution started a revolution of textiles technology: the cotton gin, the spinning jenny, and the power loom mechanized production. The mechanisation of hand work was opposed by the Luddite rebellion.
