At the cathode, reduction (in this case, the gain of electrons) occurs.
At the anode, oxidation (in this case, the loss of electrons) occurs.
Normally, the reaction is balanced with either an acid or a base as shown in the equations below.
the reduction at cathode: 2 H+(aq) + 2e− → H2(g)
the oxidation at anode: 2 H2O(l) → O2(g) + 4 H+(aq) + 4e−
That two reactions are half reactions.
They are balanced with an acid.
Commonly hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid is used.
However, the half reactions can also be balanced with a base, for example with sodium hydroxide.
the reduction at cathode: 2 H2O(l) + 2e− → H2(g) + 2 OH−(aq)
the oxidation at anode: 4 OH−(aq) → O2(g) + 2 H2O(l) + 4 e−
complete reaction: 2 H2O(l) → 2 H2(g) + O2(g)

Emily Jenkins (Renée Zellweger) is a social worker with her son Tom Jenkins (Matthew Lillard) living in Oregon, who is assigned to investigate the family of ten-year-old Lillith Sullivan (Jodelle Ferland), as her grades have declined and an emotional rift with her parents has emerged.
Emily suspects that the parents have been mistreating Lillith.
Emily's fears are confirmed when Lillith's parents try to kill her by gassing her in the oven at home.
Emily saves Lillith with the help of Detective Mike Barron (Ian McShane).
Lillith is originally sent to a children's home, but she begs Emily to look after her instead.
With the agreement of the board, Emily is assigned to take care of Lillith until a suitable foster family comes along.
In the meantime, Lillith's parents, Edward and Margaret Sullivan (Callum Keith Rennie and Kerry O'Malley) are placed in a mental institution.
Not too long after Lillith moves in, strange things begin to happen around Emily.
Two weeks later, another of Emily's cases, a boy named Diego (Alexander Conti), suddenly murders his parents with a crowbar, and Barron informs Emily that somebody phoned Diego from her house the night before the crime.
As she is suspected of involvement in the incident, Lillith undergoes a psychiatric evaluation by Emily's best friend, Douglas J. Ames (Bradley Cooper).
During the session, however, Lillith turns the evaluation around, asking Douglas what his fears are and subtly threatening him.
That night after receiving a strange phone call, Douglas is panicked by a mass of hornets coming out of his body in hysteria and kills himself in the bathroom.
Emily gradually becomes fearful of Lillith, so she heads to the mental asylum for answers from Lillith's parents.
They tell her that, far from being truly human, Lillith is actually a Succubus-like demon who feeds on emotion, and that they had tried to kill her in an attempt to save themselves.
Lillith's father tells Emily that the only way to kill Lillith is to get her to sleep.
Shortly after Emily leaves the asylum, Lillith's mother hallucinates being on fire, and her father is stabbed in the eye after attacking a fellow inmate through whom the voice of Lillith spoke.
Barron initially thinks Emily should seek psychiatric help, but is later convinced when he receives a strange phone call in his home from Lillith.
He arms himself to help Emily.
However, he fatally shoots himself in the head with his shotgun, as Lilith makes him imagine he is being attacked by dogs.
After realizing that her closest colleagues have been eliminated, and that the rest of her cases will be next, Emily and Tom serve Lillith tea spiked with sedative.
While Lillith is asleep, Emily sets fire to her house, hoping to get rid of her.
However, the girl apparently escapes unharmed (from this point on, the audience may wonder whether Lilith is really present or Emily is hallucinating her presence).
A police officer offers to escort Emily and Lillith to a temporary place to sleep.
As Emily is following the police cars, she suddenly takes a different route and drives her car at a high speed, hoping to bring fear to Lillith.
Instead, Lillith forces Emily to relive her childhood memory of her mother driving fast in a rainstorm.
Emily fights through the memory, telling herself that it is not real.
The image fades, and Lillith appears scared by the fact that Emily and Tom were able to fight through their illusions.
Emily drives the car off a pier.
As the car sinks, Emily and Tom struggle to lock Lillith (now in her demonic true form) in the trunk.
Emily then attempts to swim to the surface.
The demon grabs Emily's foot and Tom's hand to stop hthem from swimming away but Emily and Tom struggle and eventually break free, as a trapped Lillith sinks to the bottom.
Emily and Tom climb out of the water and sit on the pier.

A convenience store is a small store that stocks a range of everyday items.

Windows 10 is a computer operating system by Microsoft.
It is part of the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems.
It was known as Threshold when it was being developed.
Windows 10 was announced at a press event on 30 September 2014.
It came out for personal computers on 29 July 2015.
Beginning on that day, Windows 10 was available as a free upgrade for users who had Windows 7 or Windows 8.1.
Windows 10 is designed to provide a common user interface for different systems.
These include desktop, laptop, and all-in-one PCs, tablet computers, smartphones, and embedded systems such as the Xbox game console.
This allows each type of system to run similar programs with greater ease.
Unlike earlier versions of Windows, Windows 10 is regularly updated with new features based on user feedback, including before it was first released.
This is a part of a model of delivery known as software as a service.
Every half a year, Microsoft releases updates with new features.
Each release has a four-digit build number (a type of version number).
The first two digits refer to the year of release, and the other two digits refer to the month of release (e.g. "1903" refers to a build released in March 2019).

Multinational corporations (MNC) or multinational enterprises (MNE) are organizations which own or control production of goods or services in countries other than the home country.
They include large corporations which produce or sell goods or services in various countries.
They may be referred as 'international' or 'transnational'  or 'stateless' corporations.
MNCs play an important role in globalization.
Arguably, the first multinational business organization was the "Knights Templar" , founded in 1120.
After that came the British East India Company in 1600 and the Dutch East India Company which started in1602 and would become the largest company in the world for nearly 200 years.
These were made by national legislation to conduct international trade for their home countries.
The term comes from situations where here is disagreement as to where a dispute should be legally settled in court.
The three branches of conflict of laws are:
Jurisdiction – whether the forum court has the power to resolve the dispute at hand
Choice of law – the law being applied to resolve the dispute
Foreign judgments – the ability to recognize and enforce a judgment from an external forum within the jurisdiction of the adjudicating forum.
Conflict of taxation
Companies usually arrange their affairs to avoid or diminish taxation.
This issue attracts much attention.
Obviously, tax rates and tax regulations differ from country to country.
If an organisation sets up subsidiaries in every country where it has significant business, few problems arise.
The subsidiaries pay tax on whatever activities the company does in that place.
However, companies always try to minimise tax.
Google uses various tax avoidance strategies.
Out of the five largest American technology companies it pays the lowest taxes to countries where its revenue comes from.
The company does this partly by licensing technology through subsidiaries in Ireland, Bermuda, the Bahamas, and the Netherlands.
This reportedly sparked a 2012 French investigation into Google's "transfer pricing" methods.
Transnational corporations
A transnational corporation (TNC) differs from a traditional MNC in that it does not identify itself with one national home.
While traditional MNCs are national companies with foreign subsidiaries, TNCs spread out their operations in many countries sustaining high levels of local responsiveness.
An example of a TNC is Nestlé who employ senior executives from many countries and try to make decisions from a global perspective rather than from one centralized headquarters.
Another example of a Transnational Corporation is the Royal Dutch Shell corporation whose headquarters may be in The Hague, Netherlands but its registered office and main executive body where the decisions are made is headquartered in London, United Kingdom.
William Tyndale (c. 1484–1536) was an English scholar.
He is well known for his translation of the Bible into English, and for his later prosecution and execution.
He was influenced by the work of Erasmus, who made the Greek New Testament available in Europe, and by Martin Luther.
The spread of the Wycliffe Bible led to strong measures to keep translations in the hands of the Catholic Church.
There was a death sentence for any unlicensed possession of scripture in English—even though translations in all other major European languages were accepted.
