It is in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, part of the Queen Elizabeth Islands.
Cape Columbia is the most northerly point of land in Canada.
The area of Ellesmere Island is , the world's tenth biggest island and Canada's third biggest island.
The Arctic Cordillera mountain system covers much of Ellesmere Island: it is the most mountainous island in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago.
The Arctic Willow is the only woody species to grow on Ellesmere Island.
In 2001, 168 people lived on Ellesmere Island.
There are three settlements on Ellesmere Island including Alert, Eureka, and Grise Fiord.
Banks Island () is one of the bigger members of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago.
It is in the Inuvik Region of the Northwest Territories, Canada.
It is separated from Victoria Island to its east by the Prince of Wales Strait and from the mainland by Amundsen Gulf to its south.
The Beaufort Sea lies to its west.
To the northeast, McClure Strait separates the island from Prince Patrick Island and Melville Island.
It was named "Banks Island" in 1820 by Sir William Parry in honour of Sir Joseph Banks.
However, during the exploration of the area by Robert McClure (1850-1854) the island was marked on their maps as "Baring Island".
The only permanent Inuvialuit settlement on the island, Sachs Harbour or Ikhuak, is on the southwest coast.
Two federal Migratory Bird Sanctuaries were founded on the island in 1961.
The island does not have any trees, with the tallest plant, the arctic willow, sometimes growing to about the height of a person's knee but usually standing no taller than 10 cm.
Devon Island is one of the bigger members of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago.
It is the second-biggest of the Queen Elizabeth Islands, Nunavut, Canada, the 27th biggest island in the world, Canada's 6th biggest island and the biggest island in the world where nobody lives on.
Devon Island has an area of .
The highest point is the Devon Ice Cap at 6,299 ft/1,920 metres which is part of the Arctic Cordillera.
Devon Island has many small mountain ranges, such as the Treuter Mountains, Haddington Range and the Cunningham Mountains.
Devon Island is also notable for having the Haughton impact crater, made some 39 million years ago when a meteorite about 2 km (1.2 mi) in diameter crashed into what were then forests.
The impact left a crater about 23 km (14 mi) in diameter, which was a lake for several million years.
Axel Heiberg Island is the 31st biggest island in the world and Canada's 7th biggest island.
According to Statistics Canada, it has an area of 43 178 km² (16,671 square miles).
The Inuit people have lived on Axel Heiberg Island in the past, but no one has lived there by the time it was named by Otto Sverdrup, who explored it around 1900.
He named it after Axel Heiberg, manager of the Norwegian Ringnes brewery which sponsored the expedition.
Other explorers visited the island during the early 20th century, during which time it was claimed by Norway until 1930.
It is now part of Nunavut, Canada.

The ballista (plural ballistae) was one of the first artillery weapons used by the Ancient Greeks.
The ballista was invented around 400 BC in the Greek town of Syracuse.
It was one of the first catapults, and shot very large and heavy spears far distances.
The ballista resembled a large crossbow.
They were made in different sizes.
Smaller ones threw smaller missiles such as scaled-up arrows and darts.
Pull back the bow-string with a winch, which creates tension.
Load the ballista with a light missile e.g. darts with iron points.
Release the bow-string, launching the missile.

Banana bread is a sweet bread made with batter that is full of mashed bananas, ground cinnamon, and toasted nuts.
Some may also have chocolate in them.
It was first baked in the United States and became very popular because it was so easy to make.
It is different from most breads because it is a quick bread, using baking powder to rise.
There are many different kinds of banana bread.
The dry ingredients are mixed together in one bowl, and the wet ingredients are mixed together in another bowl.
The two are then put together, and baked, and then the making of a banana bread is done.
Saurophaganax ("lizard-eating master") is a genus of allosaurid dinosaur from the Morrison Formation of Upper Jurassic in Oklahoma.
It lived about 151 million years ago).
Saurophaganax was a very large Morrison allosaurid.
The maximum size of S. maximus has been estimated at anywhere from  to  in length, and around  in weight.
This means it was perhaps similar in size to Tyrannosaurus or Carcharodontosaurus.
Some paleontologists think it is a species of Allosaurus (Allosaurus maximus).
It has also been described as a separate genus.
The most recent review of basal tetanurans accepted Saurophaganax as a distinct genus.
New possible Saurophaganax material from New Mexico may clear up the status of the genus.
Sauroposeidon is a genus of sauropod dinosaur found in Oklahoma.
It is one of the biggest dinosaur yet found.
Habit and diet
Sauroposeidon lived in what was then a river delta flowing into the Bay of Mexico.
It was a plant-eater that probably ate leaves from the tops of trees, perhaps conifers and early flowering trees like magnolias, palms, and sycamores.
Estimates of Sauroposeidon'''s size are based on a comparison between the four Sauroposeidon vertebrae and the vertebrae of the HM SII specimen of Giraffatitan in the Humboldt Museum in Berlin.
The HM SII is the most complete brachiosaur known.
Comparisons to the other relatives of Sauroposeidon are difficult due to limited remains.
The neck length of Sauroposeidon is estimated at , compared to a neck length of  for the HM SII Giraffatitan.
This is based on the assumption that the rest of the neck has the same proportions as Giraffatitan, which is a reasonably good conjecture.
Sauroposeidon was probably able to raise its head  above the ground, which is as high as a six-story building.
In comparison, Giraffatitan could probably raise its head  into the air.
Sauroposeidon's'' shoulder height has been estimated at  based on an interpretation of the animal as a brachiosaurid.
Estimates of its total possible length have ranged from  to .
A power cut, sometimes called a power outage or blackout, is a word for when the electric power does not work in an area.
It is sometimes caused by a power line (or electricity cable) falling down, but may also happen due to routine maintenance.
In poor countries, such as many in Africa, there are regular power cuts as more people try to use the electricity than there is to go around.
An uninterruptible power supply can protect sensitive equipment such as computers or other electronics during a power cut, allowing it to be properly shut down.

Espaillat is a province in the Dominican Republic.
It is in the Cibao region, in the north central part of the country.
Its capital is Moca.
The province was created on 1885.
It was part of the La Vega province until it was made a province.
The province was named after Ulises Francisco Espaillat who was President of the Dominican Republic for a short period of time (April 1876 - October 1876).
The Espaillat province is bordered to the east by the province of Hermanas Mirabal, to the south by La Vega, to the west by the Santiago and Puerto Plata provinces.
The María Trinidad Sánchez province is to the northeast of the Espaillat province and the Atlantic Ocean is to the north.
The Espaillat province has had many changes in its area.
Before 1885, when the province was made, the southern part of the present province was part of La Vega province and the northern part was of the Puerto Plata province.
When the province was made in 1885, it had the land of the present provinces of Hermanas Mirabal, Duarte and María Trinidad Sánchez provinces and the southern part of the present Espaillat province.
But when the Duarte province was made in 1896, the Espaillat province lost most of the land east of the Hermanas Mirabal province; in 1945, the land north of the Cordillera Septentrional was added to the Espaillat province.
In 1952, the Salcedo province (now Hermanas Mirabal province) was made and the Espaillat province kept the land that it has now, with some parts to the south of the Cordillera Septentrional and other parts to the north of it.
The province had two municipalities: Moca, its capital, and Gaspar Hernández.
Cayetano Germosén became a municipality of the province in 1987 and Jamao al Norte in 2001.

In  (last national census), there were  people living in the Espaillat province, and 105,187 () living in towns and cities.
The population density was  persons/km², one of the highest among the provinces of the country.
Its population represents  of the total population of the country and the province is ranked as the 12th (out of 31 plus the National District) more populated province.
The Espaillat province has a total area of .
It has  of the area of the Dominican Republic and it is one of the smallest provinces in the country, ranked as the 27th (out of 31 plus the National District) largest province.
The altitude of Moca, provincial capital, is .
There are three geographic regions in the province.
They are, from north to south: the Atlantic coastal plains close to the Atlantic Ocean, the Cordillera Septentrional and the Cibao Valley.
Three main roads go through this province.
One goes along the Atlantic coast; it goes from Puerto Plata to Samaná.
A second road comes from the south, from La Vega province and, when it gets to Moca, turns to the west to Santiago de los Caballeros.
This is the old Carretera Duarte (Duarte National Road) but from Concepción de la Vega to Santiago de los Caballeros the "Duarte Highway" is used by most people, without going through Moca.
The Cordillera Septentrional ("Northern mountain chain") is in the north central part of the province but the mountains here are not very high.
The highest mountain in the province is the El Mogote () at  above sea level.
There are only short rivers in the province.
The most important river that flows into the Atlantic Ocean, and the longest of the province, is the Yásica river; it forms the limit with the Puerto Plata province.
Other important rivers that flow to the north are the Jamao and Veragua rivers which are tributaries of the Yásica river.
In the southern part of the province, the rivers are very short and most of them are tributaries of the Licey river (a tributary of the Yuna river).
Besides the Licey river, other rivers are Moca and Bacuí.
There are 4 municipalities and 11 municipal districts (M.D.) in the province.

Charlie Patton (also known as Charley Patton) (May 1, 1891 - April 28, 1934) was an American Delta blues musician.
He is thought to be the "Father of Delta Blues" and was one of the most popular of the early recorded blues musicians.
Their widely-known fossils show a ribbed spiral-form shell, in the end compartment of which lived the tentacled animal.
These creatures lived in the seas from at least 400 to 65 million years ago.
They became extinct at the K/T extinction event.
Their nearest living relatives are the octopus, squid, cuttlefish and Nautilus.
Ammonites first appeared in the early Devonian period.
They evolved from a small, straight shelled Bactridian, which was an early Nautiloid.
They quickly evolved into a variety of shapes and sizes, including some shaped like hairpins.
During their evolution the ammonites faced no fewer than four catastrophic events that would eventually lead to their extinction.
The first event occurred in the Upper Devonian, and the second at the end of the Permian (250 million years ago), when only two lines survived the P/Tr extinction event.
The surviving species radiated and flourished throughout the Triassic perod.
At the end of this period (206 million years ago) they faced near extinction again, when only one genus survived.
This event marked the end of the Triassic and the beginning of the Jurassic, during which time the number of ammonite species grew once more.
The final catastrophe occurred at the end of the Cretaceous period when all species were annihilated and the ammonites became extinct.
The young ammonites lived in the plankton, near the sea surface.
They ate mostly small fry as they were growing.
This made them especially vulnerable to any event which upset the plankton zone.
Ammonites began life as tiny planktonic creatures less than 1mm in diameter.
In their infancy they would have been vulnerable to attack from other predators, including mosasaurs and fish.
However, their shell gave their soft parts some protection.
The existence of sexual dimorphism, with larger females and smaller males, has been much discussed.p244 The matter is still open, but at least in some species deposits are found with two sizes and no intermediates.
As the shell grew, the back compartments were sealed with a semi-permeable membrane.
A single tube, the siphuncle, passed through the centre of each septum and connected the chambers The animal could add or withdraw gas as it needed for buoyancy.
On the inside of the shell, the compartments are marked by elaborate sutures.
These can be seen easily on those fossils which are internal moulds, as most are.p241 Ammonites were active predators, and they themselves were often eaten by fish and marine reptiles.
The fossils are almost always found with the outer compartment broken off, probably as a result of just such an attack.
Ammonites swam by jet propulsion, as do most other cepalopods.
Water would have come into the mantle cavity, passed over the gills, and was squirted out.
Nautilus also has an escape mechanism, where a contraction of the branchial (gill) chamber causes the animal to jump out of the way of a predator.p232 It would be reasonable to suppose that ammonites had a similar mechanism.
Drops are often circular in shape, and sometimes when light is refracted through them, it makes a rainbow effect.
Rain is an example of when drops fall.
Drops are also like bubbles, except they hold liquid instead of a gas, like air.

William McGonagall (born Edinburgh, March 1825 – died Edinburgh, 29 September 1902) was a Scottish poet.
He thought he was good at writing poetry, but his poetry was often considered to be the worst poetry in the English language.
He became famous because he was such a bad poet.
Life and poetry
William McGonagall was born in Edinburgh, Scotland.
His family were originally Irish.
McGonagall worked as a weaver in Dundee.
In 1877, when he was probably 52 years old, he suddenly found that he liked writing poetry.
He wrote a poem about a local vicar and sent it to the Dundee Weekly News.
The editor thought it was a joke, and he published it as a jokey poem.
McGonagall continued to write poetry.
He read his poems in public and lots of people came to hear him.
However, his audience had really come to laugh at him and throw rotten vegetables at him.
Mc Gonagall's poems have stupid rhymes, the words he uses are often silly and he mixes his imagery in clumsy ways.
One of his most famous poems is about the Tay Bridge Disaster.
It tells of a real event in 1879 when the bridge over the river Tay in Scotland collapsed and a train that was going over the bridge crashed, killing many people.
Part of McGonagall's poem goes:
Beautiful Railway Bridge of the Silv'ry Tay!
I am very sorry to say
That ninety lives have been taken away
On the last Sabbath day of 1879,
Which will be remember'd for a very long time.
McGonagall did not seem to realise that people thought his poems were bad.
He became disappointed that the town of Dundee did not recognize him as a great poet, so he went to Perth and then to Edinburgh.
He continued to write poetry.
He travelled to London because he had been given an invitation to meet the famous actor Sir Henry Irvine.
However, someone had been playing a trick on him: the invitation was not a real one, and he was not let into the theatre.
McGonagall wrote some poetry about London while he was there.
As I stood upon London Bridge and viewed the mighty throngOf thousands of people in cabs and busses rapidly whirling along,
All furiously driving to and fro,Up one street and down another as quick as they could go....
McGonagall was teetotal and often spoke against drinking alcohol.
He thought that his audiences did not like his poetry because they had been drinking too much.
McGonagall in popular culture
People still remember McGonagall's poems today and continue to make fun of them.
The comedian Spike Milligan had a character called McGoonagall in The Goon Show.
One episode of The Muppet Show had a character called Angus McGonagle.
In the Harry Potter books, author J.K. Rowling chose the surname of the Professor of Transfiguration, Minerva McGonagall, because she had heard of McGonagall and loved the name.

Gallimimus (chicken mimic) was a fast-running dinosaur.
It had a long, thin, flattened, toothless, horny beak, a small head, and a relatively large brain.
Gallimimus lived in the Upper Cretaceous, about 75-70 million years ago.
The bottom front part of its beak was shaped like a shovel.
It had large eyes positioned on opposite sites of its head, ruling out binocular vision (depth perception).
It had a long neck, long tail, and long legs.
Gallimimus was about 13-20 ft (4-6 m) long, was 6.3 ft (1.9 m) tall at the hips, and may have weighed about 970 pounds (440 kg).
These were probably among the fastest of all dinosaurs.
Like many other coelurosaurs, the ornithomimid hide was probably feathered rather than scaly.
The county was named after Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States.
The county has the largest population of all other counties in Alabama.
As of the 2000 U.S. census, 662,047 people lived there.
The largest city in Jefferson County is Birmingham, Alabama.
Jefferson County was created by the Alabama legislature on December 13, 1819, 42 years before the American Civil War.
Jefferson County was spending more than its total revenue, so it sold bonds to finance its operating deficits.
Normally, governments sell bonds to borrow money to build infrastructure.
But Jefferson County borrowed money to put off tax increases or service reductions.
Jefferson County worked with Wall Street banks (such as J.P. Morgan) to sell the bonds and to make interest rate swaps on its debt.
These financial deals happened in 2002 and 2003 while the economy was healthy.
People who purchase bonds want to know the source of the money to pay back the bonds.
So, Jefferson County used its sewer system fees to back its bonds.
The county sold $3.14 billion in sewer bonds.
It also paid the banks millions of dollars of fees for their help in selling the bonds and setting up the county's debt.
By 2011, Jefferson County could no longer borrow more money and its total revenues fell because of the bad economy.
So, the county went to Wall Street and asked them to forgive $1 billion of the debt.
After months of talking, the county and the banks were $130 million apart from a final agreement.
The banks wanted the county to raise sewer rates to cover the missing money.
The county wanted the banks to forgive more debt.
On November 9, 2011, the county gave up and filed for bankruptcy.
Jefferson County became the subject of the most expensive municipal bankruptcy ever in the United States, at $4.1 billion, with debts of $3.14 billion relating to sewer work.
This means that a court will decide what the county owes.
Under bankruptcy, people who loaned money to the county will not get all of their money back.

Florence Foster Jenkins (born July 19, 1868 in Pennsylvania, U.S.; died November 26, 1944) was an American soprano who became famous because she was such a bad singer.
She sang out of tune, had a very poor sense of rhythm and she was very unmusical.
She was born Florence Foster in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
She had music lessons when she was a child.
She wanted to go and study music abroad.
Her father was very rich, but he refused to pay for her to travel, so she ran away with a man called Frank Thornton Jenkins who was a doctor.
They married, although they divorced in 1902.
Her husband did not want her to be a singer either.
In 1909, her father died so she inherited some money which she used to have singing lessons.
Soon she started to give recitals.
Her mother died in 1928 and this gave her even more freedom and money to sing.
From her recordings we can hear that Jenkins sang very out of tune and out of time.
She even wobbled a lot on one note.
Her piano accompanist can be heard trying to change the speed to fit in with her mistakes.
Her words were unclear, especially when singing in a foreign language.
However, she became tremendously popular in her unusual way.
Her audiences seemed to love her in spite of her unmusicality.
She always thought she was a good singer and compared herself to the great sopranos.
She knew the critics wrote bad things about her, but she said: "People may say I can't sing, but no one can ever say I didn't sing."
Jenkins sang music from famous operas as well as classical songs (Lieder).
She wore fancy costumes which she designed herself.
She threw flowers into the audience and was always fanning herself.
In 1943, she was in a taxi that crashed.
After the crash she found she could sing "a higher F than ever before."
Instead of a lawsuit against the taxicab company, she sent the driver a box of expensive cigars.
In 1944, when she was 76, Jenkins performed at Carnegie Hall.
Many people had wanted her to perform there.
Tickets  sold out weeks before the concert.
Jenkins died in Manhattan of a heart attack a month later.
She always seemed to have been quite certain that she was a great singer.

William Bligh (9 September 1754–7 December 1817) was an English officer in the British Navy.
He sailed with Captain James Cook on his third and final voyage in 1776.
In 1787 Bligh was made captain of HMS Bounty and sailed to Tahiti to collect breadfruit trees.
A Mutiny on the Bounty prevented finishing this task.
In 1806 he was made Governor of New South Wales.
After going back to England, Bligh was made a Rear-Admiral and later a Vice-Admiral in the Royal Navy.
Bligh joined the navy at age 16 when he became an able seaman on HMS Hunter in 1770.
In September 1771 he changed ships and served on HMS Crescent.
At 21 (17 March 1776) he was made the master of Captain James Cook's ship, the Resolution, part of Cook's third and final voyage.
Bligh got back to England in 1780.
He left the Royal Navy and worked as a captain in the merchant navy from 1783 to 1787.
In 1787 Bligh became leader of a small expedition to be sent to Tahiti to get breadfruit trees.
These would be planted in the West Indies as food for the slaves.
The Bounty left Tahiti loaded with breadfruit trees on 4 April 1789.
Three weeks later, a seaman named Fletcher Christian led a mutiny (take over) of the ship.
Christian wanted to go back to Tahiti.
This event is called the Mutiny on the Bounty.
Bligh and 18 seamen were put into a small boat, with little food or water, four swords, a sextant, a pocket watch, but no map.
They were able to get to Batavia (now Jakarta), a distance of 6701 km, in 47 days.
Bligh finally got back to England in March, 1790.
He wrote a book about the mutiny called A Narrative of the Mutiny on board His Majesty's Ship "Bounty".
In August 1791 Bligh set out again to get breadfruit trees.
He was also told to find out more about Torres Strait, between Australia and New Guinea.
He took two ships, the Providence and the Assistant, getting back to England in August 1793.
Bligh spent the next 10 years in the Royal Navy.
In March 1805 he was given the job of Governor of New South Wales.
He left England in February 1806 and arrived in Sydney in August.
One of his jobs was to control the supply of alcohol into the young colony.
In Sydney at this time, alcohol was used as a form of money, which caused a lot of unrest among the settlers.
The army officers and several other people in New South Wales had a monopoly on bringing alcohol into the country.
They were very angry with Bligh because he tried to control their alcohol business.
The Rum Rebellion
The officers started legal actions against Bligh who then had one of the settlers John Macarthur arrested for sedition (trying to start a rebellion against the government).
One of the soldiers, Major George Johnston, let Macarthur out of jail, and on 26 January 1808, he led the army to Government House and put Bligh under arrest.
The army then took over the government.
This became known as the Rum Rebellion.
After one year Bligh was released on the condition that he went back to England.
He agreed, but then sailed to Hobart to try and get help from Colonel David Collins who was the Lieutenant-Governor of Tasmania.
Collins did not offer help and Bligh remained in Hobart for another year.
The British government sent out a new governor, Lachlan Macquarie.
Bligh and Major Johnston went back to London, arriving on 25 October 1810.
In the legal action all the charges against Bligh were found not to be true, and Johnston was found to be guilty.
Johnson was sacked from the army, and in 1811 Bligh was made a Rear-Admiral, and later a Vice-Admiral.
He retired to Kent.
Bligh died on a visit to London on 7 December 1817.

AppleScript scripts can select menu items, click buttons, enter text into text fields, and generally control the interfaces of most Mac OS X 10.x applications.
Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui (or Pachacutec; , whose name means "He who remakes the world" was the ninth Sapa Inca (1438-1471/1472) of the Kingdom of Cuzco, which he transformed into an empire, Tawantinsuyu.
He began the era of conquest that, within three generations, expanded the Inca dominion from the valley of Cuzco to nearly the whole of civilized South America.
He was the fourth of the Hanan dynasty, and his wife's name is given as Mama Anawarkhi or Coya Anahurque.
Their son was Tupac Inca Yupanqui.
Pachacuti reorganized the new empire, the Tahuantinsuyu or "the united four provinces."
Under his system, there were four apos that each controlled one of four provinces (suyu).
Despite Pachacuti's political and military talents, he did not improve upon the system of choosing the next Inca.
His son became the next Inca without any known dispute, but in future generations the next Inca had to gain control of the empire by winning enough support from the apos, priesthood, and military to either win a civil war or intimidate anyone else from trying to get control of the empire.
The iMac is an all-in-one personal computer that was first released in 1998.
It is made by Apple Inc.. It has been the main part of Apple's consumer desktop offerings since its debut in August 1998, and has evolved through six distinct forms.
Apple adopted Intel processors which post-2006 iMacs now run on.
Because Mac OS X was written for PowerPC at the time, Mac OS X ran in an emulation environment called Rosetta.
Programs and applications received 'Universal Binary' updates to make them run reliably and use less resources of the Rosetta environment, instead hardware accelerating themselves.
The latest macOS version is Big Sur, which is not Intel processor dependent.
No PowerPC based computer can run or install it meaning most of the iMac line are not 10.11 compatible.

The service was founded in 1995 by Craig Newmark for the San Francisco Bay Area.
After incorporation as a private for-profit company in 1999, Craigslist expanded into nine more U.S. cities in 2000, four each in 2001 and 2002, and 14 in 2003.
By September 2007, Craigslist had established itself in approximately 450 cities in 50 countries.
The site serves over nine billion page views per month, putting it in 56th place overall among web sites worldwide, ninth place overall among web sites in the United States (per Alexa.com on January 10, 2008), to over thirty million unique visitors.
With over thirty million new classified advertisements each month, Craigslist is the leading classifieds service in any medium.
The site receives over two million new job listings each month.
So it is one of the top job boards in the world.
In July 2005, the San Francisco Chronicle criticized Craigslist for allowing ads from dog breeders, and thereby allegedly encouraging the over breeding and irresponsible selling of pit bulls in the Bay Area.
In January 2006, the San Francisco Bay Guardian published an editorial criticizing Craigslist for moving into local communities and "threatening to eviscerate" local alternative newspapers.
Craigslist has been compared to Wal-Mart, a multinational corporation that some feel crushes small local businesses when they move into towns and offer a huge assortment of goods at cheaper prices.
In August 2007, Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin wrote a letter to Craigslist asking the company to take steps to avoid unwittingly enabling child prostitution through its classified ads.

Discounts and allowances are when the price of goods or services is made lower.
Discounts and allowances can be a change of the price that the manufacturer sells the product for, the retail price (set by the retailer and often attached to the product with a sticker), or the list price (which is quoted to a potential buyer, usually in written form).
The market price (also called effective price) is the amount that the customer pays.
The purpose of discounts is to increase short-term sales,  move out-of-date stock, reward valuable customers, encourage distribution.
Some discounts and allowances are forms of sales promotion.
Multi-use tickets for public transport
Sale, discounts and allowances in the prices of goods, such as:
Fire sale, a drastic discount in prices
Loan sale, a sale under contract of all or part of the cash stream from a specific loan

Classified advertising is a form of advertising which is particularly common in newspapers, online and other periodicals, e.g. free ads papers or Pennysavers.
Classified advertising allows private individuals (not simply companies or corporate entities) to try to sell products or services.
Classified advertising is called that because it is generally grouped within the publication under headings classifying the product or service being offered (headings such as Accounting, Automobiles, Clothing, Farm Produce, For Sale, For Rent, etc.)
and is grouped entirely in a distinct section of the periodical, which makes it distinct from display advertising, which often contains graphics or other art work and which is placed near to editorial content.
Newspapers are continuing to make less and less money from classified advertising because more and more people are using the Internet now and fewer people are reading newspapers.
Classified advertising at some of the larger newspaper chains has dropped 14% to 20% in 2007 while traffic to classified sites has grown 23%.

Inti Cusi Huallpa Huáscar, or "Sun of Joy" lived in 1503–1532 and was emperor of the Inca empire from 1527 to 1532 AD, He succeeded his father Huayna Capac and brother Ninan Cuyochi.
Both of whom died of smallpox while they fought near Quito.
On the death of their father and their older brother, the empire was divided between the two surviving brothers, Huáscar and Atahualpa.
Huascar demanded that Atahuallpa swear an oath to him.
Atahuallpa refused and the civil war began.
Atahualpa's commander lead armies of 100,000 men.
About 60,000 men supported Huáscar.
This demonstrates the numerical potential of Incan armies.
The war was uncompleted, but Atahualpa had a clear advantage when Francisco Pizarro arrived.
It was partly due to this civil war that Francisco Pizarro was successful.

The CLAAS Jaguar is a silage harvester made by CLAAS.
It has a DaimlerChrysler engine.
The CLAAS Jaguar was first built in 1973, when the idea of silage was fairly new.
Claas already made combines and balers.
The first CLAAS Jaguar was a small green machine.
The 10,000th Jaguar was sold in 1994, the 15,000th unveiled in 1998 and the 20,000th sold in 2004.
The CLAAS Jaguar is one of the best selling silage harvesters ever made.
They sell especially well in European countries.
Of the forage harvesters CLAAS sold in Ireland from 2000 to 2003, 60% were Claas Jaguars.
Model Range
The model range has not changed much over the past eight years, except for 2003 and 2007.
In Europe, the current models are the 830, 850, 870, 890 and the largest one: the 900.
In North America, the models are 950, 960, 970 and 980.
Speedstar & Green Eye
Before 2003, most forage harvesters operated at very slow speeds.
In 2003, new technology meant that a new silage harvester, with the same look as the old model, would be built.
In Autumn of that year, the CLAAS Jaguar Speedstar was first sold.
The "Green Eye" is a new addition.
After four years of scientific experiments, the Green Eye was made in May 2007.
The 900 model now being sold in Europe is known as the CLAAS Jaguar 900 Green Eye.
The Green Eye is also available in the other models as well.
