The chain serves seafood, chicken, steak and pasta.
There are more than 42069 Red Lobster locations world-wide.
The Wankel engine is a type of combustion engine.
It is sometimes called a rotary engine.
The Wankel engine is better than an engine of the reciprocating piston design because it is more compact and simple.
However, so far, nobody has found a good enough solution to the fact that oil (lubricant) has to be burnt along with the fuel.
This causes pollution issues, besides wasting oil.
This is why most vehicles still use piston engines.
The Wankel engine was first thought of by German engineer Felix Wankel in 1929.
He started working on it in the early 1950s along with German car company NSU.
Since, it has been used by various other car companies, but mostly in prototype cars.
One exception was Mazda, which made several cars that used Wankel engines, with the most well known one being the Mazda RX-7.
As of 2021, there are no cars in production that have Wankel engines.
Way it works
The Wankel engine works in a way similar to that of a regular four-stroke engine but instead of a piston going up and down, a triangle-shaped metal rotor revolves around the rod that connects to the wheels.
Unfortunately, the way it works causes it to burn oil (lubricant), and this causes emissions to increase, which is why no cars use this kind of engine nowadays.

A parking lot (or car park) is an area where cars and other vehicles are parked and left temporarily.
Parking lots are usually flat.
The surface is usually made of asphalt, concrete, or gravel.
Some lots may be bare earth.
The paving material in a parking lot can heat quickly in the sun.
A parked car can get hot, too.
Children, older people, and animals such as dogs and cats should not be left in a parked car.
They can die in a hot car.
Lines are put on paved lots to create the outlines of parking spaces.
People leave their cars in these spaces while they go shopping, go to work, or do errands.
Some spaces are set aside for disabled drivers or disabled passengers.
These spaces are clearly marked.
A disabled driver needs a special badge or insignia issued by the government to use these spaces.
Disabled spaces are usually close to the front of a lot.
Drivers who are not disabled can be fined or their cars towed if they use these spaces.
Parking lots are usually near businesses, hospitals, government buildings, schools, hotels, zoos, etc.
If many people go to these places, then the parking lots will be large.
If not too many people go to these places, then the parking lots will be small.
Small lots are usually unsupervised.
Large lots are usually supervised by an attendant stationed in a small booth at the lot's entrance.
He may issue a pass to a vehicle's driver that is stamped with the vehicle's arrival time.
He will collect a fee from the driver when the vehicle leaves the lot.
Some hotels provide free parking and those parking lots are big enough with lot of entrance.
At a rural event such as a county fair, concert, auction, barn sale, corn maze, or pick-your-own strawberry patch, a parking lot may be nothing more than a large area of bare earth or a meadow that has been mowed for parking.
Ropes or bales of hay may be used to mark the area for parking.
An attendant may or may not be present.
If present, he or she will advise a driver where to park in the lot and may or may not collect a fee.
Parking lots can be dangerous, especially at night.
Some lots are poorly supervised and dimly lit.
Persons intent on mischief such as tire-slashers or criminal activity such as prostitutes, burglars, thieves, rapists, and drug dealers can operate without being easily seen.
Anything valuable such as money, weapons, packages, children, or animals should never be left alone in a parked car.
These will tempt thieves and child or animal snatchers.
Automated Parking System
The automated parking system works with a combination of conveyance devices, software technology, and a mobile app for the best user experience.
The system consists of an array of electro-mechanical infrastructure and computer-controlled robots.
The conveying devices are capable of vertical and horizontal movement and used to store/retrieve vehicles to/from available multi-depth parking positions without human intervention.
The very first automated parking garage was built in 1905: Garage Rue de Ponthieu in Paris, France.

The Great Redwall Feast is a picture book written by Brian Jacques.
The pictures were drawn by the well-known Redwall artist Christopher Denise.
It was published in 1996.
The Great Redwall Feast is the first Redwall picture book, and it was written like a ballad.
The animals of Redwall Abbey prepare a surprise feast for their abbot.
The Great Redwall Feast is a story about the creatures of Redwall preparing for a feast while Matthias the Warriormouse, Constance the Badger guardian, Foremole, and the Abbot are traveling in Mossflower Woods looking for a mysterious Bobbatan Weary Nod.
The book shows the Abbeydwellers bustling in Redwall, cooking, gathering flowers, and doing other things for the feast for their beloved Abbot (probably Abbot Mordalfus).
Many characters from Redwall and Mattimeo are in the book, but the baby mole Bungo is the only character in the book that wasn't in any Redwall novel.
Illustrations and significance
The warm-colored pictures by Christopher Denise were drawn on brown butcher paper using pastels, and instead of showing the Redwallers getting ready for war, it shows them much happier and friendly, at work in their daily lives.
Brian Jacques said that The Great Redwall Feast was "written a little more for mothers to read to their children, but many Redwall lovers will also enjoy it, because there is the challenge of solving a riddle before the end of the rhyme."
(German) Das grofte Festmahl von Redwall
A lightsaber is a weapon used in the fictional Star Wars universe.
Lightsabers are usually used by the Jedi and the Sith, and sometimes other factions.
A lightsaber resembles a sword, but instead of having a blade made out of metal, lightsabers have a plasma laser beam for the blade, powered by an internal power cell contained within the hilt.
This beam is very powerful and can cut through almost anything.
A lightsaber's blade will typically be red, blue, or green.
The Sith are known to wield red lightsabers, and the Jedi are known for their signature blue and green lightsabers.
In some of the Expanded Universe books, there are lightsabers that appear in a variety of other colors as well.
The Hartford Courant is the largest newspaper in the U.S. state of Connecticut.
This newspaper is often considered the oldest continuously-published newspaper in the United States.
Its headquarters are in Hartford, though it also serves other places in the area.
This newspaper was established in 1764.
The biceps brachii is a muscle in the arm.
It has two parts, a long part and a short part.
Using the elbow the muscle helps the movement of the forearm.
When the muscle shortens, it bends the elbow and twists the forearm so that the palm faces up.
The two parts of the muscle start on different parts of the shoulder blade and end together on the forearm.
The biceps is also a muscle in other quadrupeds.
In humans, the muscle is more complex, and allows more complex movement than in other quadrupeds.
The word biceps literally means two-headed, and refers to the fact that the muscle attaches to two different parts of the shoulder.
In quadrupeds, the muscle only attaches at one point of the shoulder.
Philanthropy is doing something for the public good to improve other people's lives.
A person who does that is called a philanthropist.
Philanthropy often involves donating money for things that need to be done.
The word "philanthropy" comes from Greek words that mean "love of humanity".
President of Uruguay, José Mujica donates 90% of his salary to charity.
This is an example of philanthropy.
Today philanthropy is used for public good, focusing on quality of life.
People owning big business donates their salary to charities such as Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Lee Miglin, Chuck Feeney and Ted Turner.
Altenbunslar is one of the sixteen villages that form the town of Felsberg in Schwalm-Eder-Kreis, North Hesse, Germany.
The nearest city is Kassel.
The village is on the eastern bank of the Eder River.
To the east of the village is the Quillerwald (English: Quiller Forest) or Markwald (English: common forest).
This forest once belonged to all the villages around it.
The people of the villages were allowed to cut down trees and to let animals feed there, but they were not allowed to hunt in the forest.
The Eder River meets the Fulda River just 9 km (5.6 mi) upstream from Altenbrunslar at Edermünde.
The bedrock is made up of differently-coloured sandstones.
The hilly landscape is formed by way that the sandstone wears down evenly.
Some steep hills are the remains of volcanoes.
The volcanoes were active in this area about 15-20 million years ago.
The name Bruneslar was first recorded in 1154.
The name Altenbrunslar was first used in 1381.
It was owned by a local knight.
In the Middle Ages Altenbrunslar belonged to the town of Felsberg.
This later became part of Napoleon's Kingdom of Westphalia and then it became part of the Kingdom of Prussia.
On 1 February 1971, Altenbrunslar joined Neuenbrunslar to become the Brunslar Community.
This in turn became part of the town of Felsberg on 1 January 1974.
A railway was constructed through the village in 1848.
In 1849 Altenbrunslar received a railway station.
On 3 September 1849 the first train came through Altenbrunslar, pulled by a locomotive called Hassia.
In the Second World War the Allies destroyed Edersee Dam on the night of 16-17 May 1943.
A big flood wave hit the village half an hour later.
The people of the village heard the news on the radio and ran into the forest.
The water flooded the Eder valley.
The bridge in Altenbrunslar was not knocked down by the water.
The first stone bridge over the Eder River at Altenbrunslar was built in 1885.
Before this there was a wooden bridge in summer and a ferryman with a boat in winter.
The small chapel in Altenbrunslar is a protected building.
It was built in the 10th Century.
In 1861 a wooden second storey was built on the chapel.
In 2000, the chapel was completely renovated.
The villagers believe that the church bell came from the nearby village of Brechelsdorf.
Brechelsdorf is a nearby village that was destroyed many years ago.
In popular media
Altenbrunslar was the Dolles Dorf (English: great village) in the Hessischer Rundfunk television programme of the same name.
A ten-minute movie about the village was first shown on 25 August 2012.
It can be seen still on the  "Dolles Dorf" HR website.

Mercia was one of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of the Heptarchy.
It was in the region now known as the English Midlands now East Midlands & West Midlands.
Mercia was centered on the valley of the River Trent and its tributaries.
Settled by Angles, their name is the root of the name 'England'.
Their neighbors included other Angles, Saxons and Jutes all from Germany.
Mercia bordered on  Northumbria, Wessex, Sussex, Essex and East Anglia.
To the west were Britons in Powys and the kingdoms of southern Wales.
Its capital was Tamworth, which is today part of Staffordshire.
Archaeological discoveries show the first Anglian settlements were in the Trent river valley.
The original kingdom of Mercia had a variety of different kinds of land.
Most of it would not have been the first choice of anyone wishing to settle there.
Not if better land was available elsewhere.
The name 'Mercia' comes from the tribal name Mierce, which means 'boundary folk.'
It was probably a name already known in the English midlands and was adopted by the Angles who settled there.
The Angles, according to Bede, came from Angulus in northern Germany.
They were of the same stock as the East Anglians and the Northumbrians.
The invasion of England by the Germanic tribes was relatively quick.
By  England was a large collection of small kingdoms each having a warlord or petty king.
Within 200 years of their arrival in England, the late seventh century, emerged the Heptarchy: the seven kingdoms of Anglo-Saxon England.
Mercia was the dominant power among the Anglo-Saxons from the middle of the seventh century to the early ninth century.
Several Mercian noblewomen played an important role in Mercian affairs.
This is in contrast to Wessex where women rarely had an active role in the government.
During the seventh and eighth centuries Mercia struggled mainly with Northumbria.
By the ninth century Wessex was the dominant power in the region.
King Egbert of Wessex (802–839) was the overlord and for the first time passed this position down to his heirs.
From this time on until they ceased to exist as a kingdom, Mercia was a vassal kingdom to Wessex.
In the last quarter of the ninth century Mercia lost much of its territory in the midlands to Danish settlers.
Christianity was introduced into Mercia in the 650s.
The first monks were Irish followed by Northumbrians.
By 653 a single bishopric was established and a series of Irish trained bishops followed.
In 674 a second diocese was established for eastern Mercia.
Notable kings
Penda (–655) was a pagan king of Mercia.
He was able to put together a confederacy of a number of smaller kingdoms and from that he created Mercia.
But in the 630s he was not able to compete with the larger Anglo-Saxon kingdoms that were around his.
Northumberland was threatening to expand into the territory of Mercia.
Penda found it convenient to ally with Gwynedd, the dominant British kingdom to the west.
It was an unusual cooperation between Christians and pagans, but it worked.
Together they defeated the Northumbrian king, Edwin, who died at the battle of Hatfield Chase.
Athelred I (675–716) was the third of Penda's sons to be king of Mercia.
He ravaged Kent to prevent them from breaking away from his rule.
In 679 he was at war with Northumbria.
According to Bede, Theodore Archbishop of Canterbury mediated between the two kings to restore peace.
He married Ostryth, daughter of the king of Bernicia.
He was a Christian king who founded several churches and monasteries.
He stepped down as king in 704 and passed the crown to his nephew Cenred.
He was abbot of the monastery of Bardsey and appears to have died about 716.
Offa (757–796), was the first of the Anglo-Saxon kings who might rightly be called "king of the English".
He was the son of Thingfrith, the brother of Penda.
He struggled to gain control of Mercia having come to power just after a civil war.
Frankish ports were closed to British ships.
Viking invasions
A new Mercian king, Raedwulf, was killed by Viking raiders in 844.
In 855 Viking bands were recorded as being in Mercia near Wrekin.
But the year 865 saw a major change in activity by the Scandinavian invaders.
This was a much larger military force than had been seen before.
The arrival of the Great Heathen Army in East Anglia.
For a time the Danes (Vikings) were more interested in Northumbria.
They gained control of York and moved south into Mercia then camped for the winter in Nottingham.
In the spring of 868 a combined Mercian and West Saxon army came against the Vikings, but there was no battle.
The Mercian king Burghred made a peace treaty with the invaders, who then moved north to York.
In 873 Burghred was forced out of Mercia by the Vikings who then set their own choice of King, Ceowulf.
In 874 the heathen army split with Halfdan, one of the leaders taking his band north.
In 878 the Vikings in Mercia were attacked and defeated by King Alfred of Wessex.
They converted to Christianity and settled on the land in East Anglia.
Decline as a kingdom
The ninth century saw the decline of Mercia as a kingdom.
In 873-74 Mercia was conquered by the heathen army.
In the 880s Wessex formed a marriage alliance with Mercia.
Alfred's daughter, Ethelflaeda, married Ethelstan (II), of Mercia.
When Ethelstan died, in 912, Edward the Elder appointed Ethelflaeda (his sister) 'Lady of the Mercians.'
When Ethelflaeda died in 918, the Mercian nobles now thought themselves free of Wessex rule.
Edward stepped in and appointed Ethelflaeda's daughter, Aelfwynn, to rule Mercia as his representative.
But in 919 Edward brought her back to Wessex.
After that Mercia was considered just another shire under his rule.
A series of ealdormen (similar to a count in Europe) followed.
Under Canute in 1017, Mercia became one of the four divisions of England.
In the fictional Star Wars universe, Stormtroopers are highly trained soldiers working for the evil Emperor Palpatine and his sidekick Darth Vader.
They wear white armor and helmets, and use blaster guns.
Some of the Stormtroopers are clones (copies) of a bounty hunter named Jango Fett.
These clones used to be on the side of the Galactic Republic, but after being told by the Emperor to kill all the Jedi, they killed most of them, and afterwards became Stormtroopers.
Later, regular men and women became Stormtroopers too.

Ski poles are carried by skiers to help them not falling over.
They are called "ski sticks" in the United Kingdom.
In France, they are called "batons".
Ski poles in alpine skiing are shorter than ski poles in Nordic skiing.
Longer ski poles are used in cross country and free style skiing.
Ski poles have been used for a long time.
People first used one ski pole when skiing.
The first ski poles could also be used as a weapon.
A flat circle was put near the bottom of the ski pole in the 17th century.
This made it so the ski pole would not go all the way down to the ground.
People started to use two ski poles by the start of World War I.
A steel ski pole was first made in 1937.
It was invented by Otto Lang.
Before this, some people used bamboo for ski poles.
More and more people started using metal ski poles after World War II.
The Galapagos shark (Carcharhinus galapagensis) is a species of Requiem shark, in the order of Carcharhiniformes.
The Galapagos shark is a large species, reaching a maximum length of up to 12.1 feet (3.8 metres), and weighing up to 86 kg.
This species is found in tropical waters surrounding oceanic islands, and is found in the Pacific, Atlantic, and western Indian Ocean.
The Galapagos shark was originally described as Carcharias galapagensis by Robert Evans Snodgrass and Edmund Heller in 1905, and was later moved to the genus Carcharhinus.
The holotype was a 64 cm (2.13 feet) long fetus from the Galapagos Islands, giving it the specific name galapagensis.
Garrick (1982) placed the Galapagos shark and the Dusky shark at the center of the "obscurus group", one of two major groupings within Carcharhinus.
The group consisted of the Bignose shark, the Caribbean reef shark, the Sandbar shark, the Dusky shark, and the Oceanic whitetip shark; all large, triangular-toothed sharks.
Based on allozyme data, Naylor (1992) changed this group, with the additions of the Silky shark, and the Blue shark.
The closest relatives of the Galapagos shark were found to be the Dusky shark, the Oceanic whitetip shark, and the Blue shark.
The Galapagos shark reaches a maximum length of 12.1 feet (3.8 metres).
Male individuals mature at lengths of 6.9-7.5 feet (2.1-2.3 metres), while females mature at 7.2-8.2 feet (2.2-2.5 metres) in length.
The maximum weight for this species is 86 kg.
The Galapagos shark is a large shark with a slim, fusiform body, and a low inter-dorsal ridge between the first and second dorsal fin.
The first dorsal fin is tall and nearly straight.
The long pelvic fins are straight, each with a pointed tip.
The snout of the Galapagos shark is widely rounded.
The Galapagos shark resembles the Grey reef shark, but can be distinguished by its more slender body, and by the slightly rounded tip on the first dorsal fin.
The Galapagos shark also strongly resembles the Dusky shark, but has a much more straighter first dorsal fin, and it has larger teeth than the Dusky shark.
However, this can be difficult to distinguish without direct comparison of the two species.
The Galapagos shark has a brownish-grey upper body, and a white belly.
A white stripe can sometimes be seen on the sides of the shark.
Their pectoral fins are solid grey with slightly dusky tips.
The Galapagos shark is circumtropical in distribution with a preference for waters surrounding oceanic islands.
In the Atlantic Ocean, this shark is found at St. Paul's Rocks, Ascension Island, Cape Verde, Saint Helena, São Tomé, Bermuda, and the Virgin Islands.
In the western Indian Ocean it is found off Walter's Shoal, south of Madagascar.
In the Pacific Ocean, the Galapagos shark is found off Lord Howe Island, Tuamoto Archipelago, Middleton and Elizabeth Reefs, Hawaii, Revillagigedo Islands, Clipperton Island, Cocos Island, and Galápagos Islands.
Distribution limits are not well defined due to confusion with similar species of sharks.
The Galapagos shark is a common, but habitat-limited, tropical shark found inshore as well as offshore, near insular and continental shelves, between 39°N-33°S, at depths up to 180 metres.
This species prefers clear water with coral and rocky bottoms.
Although it is a coastal-pelagic species, it is capable of crossing considerable distances of open ocean between islands, and has been reported at least 50 km from land.
Young Galapagos sharks are found in shallow waters of 25 metres or less.
The Galapagos shark is known to be a solitary species, but it is sometimes found in loose groups.
It is a curious species, and is known to approach swimmers and investigate other disturbances in the water, such as boats and divers.
The Galapagos shark can be an aggressive animal, and, like other species of sharks, it performs a display in order to attack its target.
This display involves arching its back, raising its head, and lowering its pectoral fins as it swims with a noticeable twisting motion.
The Galapagos shark usually hunts near the bottom, feeding on bottom-dwelling fish, but it is also been known to feed on prey from the surface.
The fish it preys on include eels, flatheads, groupers, flatfish, and triggerfish.
It also feeds on squid and octopuses.
In the Galápagos Islands, off the coast of Ecuador, the Galapagos shark has been observed to feed on sea lions and marine iguanas.
Occasionally, a large Galapagos shark may feed on other sharks.
Galapagos sharks are viviparous, or livebearing, with embryos nourished by a yolksac-placenta during gestation.
Mating and birth occurs early in the year within Hawaiian waters.
Female individuals often have mating scars from males biting the gills, fins, and body.
Each litter contains 6 to 16 pups,  each being 60-80 cm long.
The pups stay in shallow waters to avoid predation and cannibalism from members of their own species, eventually moving out to deeper waters as they mature.
Galapagos sharks do not reproduce until the age of 10 years, with the maximum known lifespan for a Galapagos shark being approximately 24 years.
According to the International Shark Attack File, the Galapagos shark has been responsible for one fatal attack on a swimmer in the Virgin Islands.
In locations where this shark is common, they often are attracted to divers, sometimes even becoming an obstacle.
When divers take aggressive actions, these sharks are not discouraged, but instead become more excited.
The Galapagos shark has been reported to display threat behaviors including arching of the back, raising the head, and lowering the caudal and pectoral fins while swimming in a twisted, rolling motion.
This species is considered potentially dangerous and may attack if a food source is present, such as during spearfishing activities.
If there are large numbers of Galapagos sharks present, it would be wise to limit one's activities in the water.
The Galapagos shark is currently listed as Near Threatened by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
However, the Galapagos shark might be listed as Vulnerable, Endangered, or Critically Endangered in the near future.
In Australia and the western Pacific Ocean, the Galapagos shark is considered "Data Deficient" due to a lack of information on populations in this region.
However, there is a marine reserve that surrounds this species' range off Lord Howe Island and the Kermadec Islands (New Zealand), where it is not considered to be under threat.
Its central galaxy, IC 1101, is the largest galaxy known.
Estimates ranging from 5.6 to over 6 million light years across.
Contrast this with the Milky Way, which is 200,000 light years across.
A2029 is also about 81 times bigger than the Milky Way, with a luminosity of 2 L☉.
This type of galaxy may have grown to its large size by accreting nearby galaxies.

Padmé Amidala is a fictional character in the fictional Star Wars universe.
She is the secret wife of Anakin Skywalker and the mother of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa.
She is played by actress Natalie Portman in the prequel trilogy.
In The Phantom Menace, Padmé is the fourteen-year-old queen of the planet Naboo.
In the movie, Amidala gets captured by the evil Trade Federation, meets the young slave boy Anakin Skywalker, and takes her captured planet back from the Trade Federation.
In Attack of the Clones, Padmé is not the queen anymore; she is now an adult, and a Senator.
She and Anakin Skywalker fall in love though she said it would make them live a lie.
Even though Anakin is a Jedi, and Jedi aren't supposed to get married, Padmé and Anakin got married anyway.
Revenge of the Sith is the last movie Padmé is in.
She is going to have a baby, and her husband Anakin dreams that Padmé will die when she has the baby.
Palpatine, a man that Anakin trusts, tells Anakin that he can save Padmé with the evil Dark Side of the Force.
So Anakin goes to the Dark Side but little does he know that the power to save people from death was achieved by a jedi not a sith.
He goes to a lava planet called Mustafar, and his master Obi-Wan Kenobi, along with Padmé, follow him there.
Anakin, who has turned to the Dark Side, thinks that Padmé had got Obi-Wan to come with her (she had not).
Anakin chokes Padmé using the Force and she blacks out and crumples to the floor.
Padmé is taken a little later to a hospital, where she gives birth to twins.
Soon afterwards,  because Anakin broke her heart which no none except her and Obi-Wan Kenobi knew, finally telling Obi-Wan with her last breath that she knows there's still good in Anakin, she dies.

A river system is sometimes called a drainage system.
It is the whole natural water system in a drainage basin.
Water in a drainage basin usually ends up in the sea, but there are places where the water just evaporates, or flows into an inland lake.
Lake Chad, for example, is an example of an endorheic lake, which has no outlet to the sea.
Rivers are an important feature of most landscapes, acting as the principal mechanism for the transport of weathered debris away from upland areas and carrying it to lakes and seas, where much of the classic sediment is deposited.
River systems can also be deposition, accumulating sediment within channels and on floodplains.
Water flow in rivers and streams is normally confined to channels  which are depressions or scours in the land surface that contain the flow.
The floodplain is the land that is covered when the river is in flood.
Together the channel and over bank settings comprise the "fluvial environment".
The Battle of Buxar  was fought on  23 October 1764 between the forces of the British East India Company led by Hector Munro and the combined army of Mughal rulers.
The combined Mughal forces numbered about 40,000 men,  Monroe's forces numbered about 10,000 men, of whom 7,000 were regular British Army men seconded to the East India Company.
Reports of the battle say that lack of co-ordination between the various Mughal forces was the main reason for their defeat.
The Causes for the battle of Buxar was the:
Conflict with the company :- Mir Qasim proved himself as a capable ruler .He attempted to improve the finances of his region.
He raised his army on modern lines
The fate of the three defeated Mughal leaders varied.
Shah Allam was forced to pay a fine of five million rupees.
After negotiation, the Treaty of Allahabad was signed.
All his pre-war possessions were returned except for the districts of Karra and Allahabad.
He became a pensioner, with a monthly pension of 450,000 rupees.
The Company later restored Allahabad to him.
The Company got revenue authority (Diwani rights) for almost 100,000 acres of land in the modern states of West Bengal, Odisha, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Uttar Pradesh, as well as in the neighbouring areas of Bengal.
In return mughal emperor was given 26 lakh rupees.
The Company's main aim was not to rule India, but to increase their revenue resources and expand trade throughout the country.
Taxes were collected for them by a Company-appointed deputy-nawab.nawab was to pay an indemnity of rupees 50 lakh
Nawab Shuja-ud-Daula was restored to Oudh, with a subsidiary force and a guarantee of defence.
Mir Qasim, the Nawab of Bengal, was ruined by the defeat.
He had been the prime mover in the war, but afterwards he was deposed by the Company and rejected by Shuja-ud-Daula.
The arrangements made the British East India Company the virtual ruler of Bengal, since it already possessed decisive military power.
All that was left to the Nawab was the control of the judicial administration.
But he was later forced to hand this over to the Company in 1793.
Thus the company's control was virtually complete.
In spite of all this the East India Company was again on the verge of bankruptcy, which stirred the British to make a fresh effort at reform.
On the one hand Warren Hastings was appointed with a mandate for reform; on the other an appeal was made to the British state for a loan.
The result was the beginnings of state control of the Company, and Warren Hastings was appointed Governor-General of Bengal from 1772 to 1785.

A suffragette was a woman in the early 20th century who believed they should have the right to vote (suffrage).
This movement happened in the United Kingdom and United States.
For many years women were not allowed to vote, and so they fought for their rights.
In their protests, they ended up getting arrested.
In 1913 Emily Davison died for the cause.
In the UK, women over 30 got the right to vote in 1918.
This was lowered to 21 in 1928.
Similar struggles went on in all the English-speaking countries.

Technical writing is communication about technical and occupational fields.
The Society for Technical Communication (STC) defines technical writing as any form of communication that is:
communicating about technical or specialized topics, such as computer applications, medical procedures, or environmental regulations; or
providing instructions about how to do something, regardless of the task's technical nature.
The audience is a vital part of the writing.
If, say, writing medical instructions to help patients and care-providers, the writing might be for doctors & nurses; lay people with a good general education; or poorly-educated people.
The writing would be quite different in each case.
"Match level of technical discussion and formality to intended purpose and audience.
For audience, consider education, professional experience, reading level, and motivations.
Use clear and simple diction to make writing accessible to readers for whom English is not their first language".
Technical writing communicates visually as well as verbally.
A communication should follow an overall logic.
One approach is descriptive, such as "Parts of a car engine".
Another is the problem-solver: "How to change tyres".
Practical encyclopedias usually inform and have how to do it sections.
Medical encyclopedias are a good example.
