Voting rights in the United States
U.S. citizens who reside in Puerto Rico , Guam , Northern Mariana Islands , or the United States Virgin Islands are not allowed to vote in U.S. national and presidential elections , as these U.S. territories belong to the United States but are not part of the United States . The U.S. Constitution requires a voter to be resident in one of the 50 states or in the District of Columbia to vote in federal elections . To say that the Constitution does not require extension of federal voting rights to U.S. territories residents does not , however , exclude the possibility that the Constitution may permit their enfranchisement under another source of law .

Sales taxes in the United States
Sales taxes collected in some states are considered to be money owned by the state , and consider a vendor failing to remit the tax as in breach of its fiduciary duties . Sellers of taxable property must file tax returns with each jurisdiction in which they are required to collect sales tax . Most jurisdictions require that returns be filed monthly , though sellers with small amounts of tax due may be allowed to file less frequently .
South Africa
In 2008 , South Africa placed 5th out of 48 sub-Saharan African countries on the Ibrahim Index of African Governance . South Africa scored well in the categories of Rule of Law , Transparency & Corruption and Participation & Human Rights , but was let down by its relatively poor performance in Safety & Security . In November 2006 , South Africa became the first African country to legalise same - sex marriage .
List of smoking bans in the United States
Statewide smoking ban excluding bars , casinos , and designated restaurant smoking rooms : On December 8 , 2006 , after passage by 54 % of voters on November 7 , 2006 , the Nevada Clean Indoor Air Act went into effect , banning smoking statewide in all enclosed workplaces . The act passed by voters initially included all restaurants as well as bars that serve food . The Act permits smoking without limitation in areas within casinos where minors are already prohibited , stand - alone bars that do not serve food , strip clubs and brothels , retail tobacco stores , and private residences ( including those that serve as an office workplace , unless used as a childcare , adult daycare , or healthcare facility ) . Local governments may regulate smoking more stringently than the Act , though no city or county in Nevada has chosen to do so . In 2009 Nevada partially repealed the ban to allow smoking in tobacco - related trade conventions . The ban was further amended in 2011 to allow smoking in taverns that serve alcohol and food as long as patrons under 21 are not allowed in . Smoking is also now allowed in designated areas of family restaurants if the smoking area is physically enclosed and separated from the non-smoking area and minors are prohibited inside .

In Australia majority verdicts are allowed in South Australia , Victoria , Western Australia , Tasmania , the Northern Territory , New South Wales and Queensland , while the ACT require unanimous verdicts . Since 1927 South Australia has permitted majority verdicts of 11 : 1 , and 10 : 1 or 9 : 1 where the jury has been reduced , in criminal trials if a unanimous verdict can not be reached in four hours . They are accepted in all cases except for `` guilty '' verdicts where the defendant is on trial for murder or treason . Victoria has accepted majority verdicts with the same conditions since 1994 , though deliberations must go on for six hours before a majority verdict can be made . Western Australia accepted majority verdicts in 1957 for all trials except where the crime is murder or has a life sentence . A 10 : 2 verdict is accepted . Majority verdicts of 10 : 2 have been allowed in Tasmania since 1936 for all cases except murder and treason if a unanimous decision has not been made within two hours . Since 1943 verdicts of `` not guilty '' for murder and treason have also been included , but must be discussed for six hours . The Northern Territory has allowed majority verdicts of 10 : 2 , 10 : 1 and 9 : 1 since 1963 and does not discriminate between cases whether the charge is murder or not . Deliberation must go for at least six hours before delivering a majority verdict . The Queensland Jury Act 1995 ( s 59F ) allows majority verdicts for all crimes except for murder and other offences that carry a life sentence , although only 11 : 1 or 10 : 1 majorities are allowed . Majority verdicts were introduced in New South Wales in 2006 . In New South Wales , a majority verdict can only be returned if the jury consists of at least 11 jurors and the deliberation has occurred for at least 8 hours or for a period that the court considers reasonable having regard to the nature and complexity of the case . Additionally , the court must be satisfied through examination of one or more of the jurors on oath , that a unanimous verdict will not be reached if further deliberation were to occur .

Apartheid
Black homelands were declared nation - states and pass laws were abolished . Black labour unions were legitimised , the government recognised the right of blacks to live in urban areas permanently and gave blacks property rights there . Interest was expressed in rescinding the law against interracial marriage and also rescinding the law against sex between the races , which was under ridicule abroad . The spending for black schools increased , to one - seventh of what was spent per white child , up from on one - sixteenth in 1968 . At the same time , attention was given to strengthening the effectiveness of the police apparatus .
Emperor of Japan
Apparently , the oldest tradition of official marriages within the imperial dynasty were marriages between dynasty members , even half - siblings or uncle and niece . Such marriages were deemed to preserve better the imperial blood or were aimed at producing children symbolic of a reconciliation between two branches of the imperial dynasty . Daughters of others remained concubines , until Emperor Shōmu ( 701 -- 706 ) -- in what was specifically reported as the first elevation of its kind -- elevated his Fujiwara consort Empress Kōmyō to chief wife .
Sales taxes in the United States
All states exempt from sales or use tax purchases of goods made for resale in the same form . In many states , resale includes rental of the purchased property . Where the purchased property is not exactly the property resold , the purchase may be taxable . Further , use of the property before sale may defeat the resale exemption . Goods purchased for free distribution may be taxed on purchase in some states , and not in others .
List of films considered the worst
The British sex comedy Sex Lives of the Potato Men is about a group of potato delivery men . The film received strongly hostile reviews from the British media . Reviews claimed Sex Lives of the Potato Men was unfunny , disgusting , and depressing . Writing in the Daily Mirror , film critic Kevin O'Sullivan called Sex Lives of the Potato Men `` one of the worst films ever made '' . Novelist Will Self , in his review for The Evening Standard , called Sex Lives of the Potato Men `` mirthless , worthless , toothless , useless '' . The Times reviewer James Christopher dubbed Sex Lives of the Potato Men `` one of the two most nauseous films ever made ... a masterclass in film - making ineptitude '' . The Sunday Express film critic , Henry Fitzherbert , also strongly condemned the film : `` Sex Lives is so awful it left me slack - jawed in disbelief ... it must be one of the worst British comedies . '' Catherine Shoard , in a critique in The Sunday Telegraph , stated `` It 's hard to know what to say to this -- it 's like finding the right words at a nasty accident ... Sex Lives of the Potato Men is probably the lewdest Brit - com since Confessions of a Window Cleaner , and certainly the worst . '' Shoard also described the film as `` Less a film than an appetite suppressant . '' Alan Morrison in the Scottish Daily Record described it as `` puerile smut of the very worst kind ... Sex Lives of the Potato Men should never have been made '' . The Irish Times later noted that `` Sex Lives of the Potato Men attracted some of the worst reviews in living memory . '' The Birmingham Post described Sex Lives of the Potato Men as `` quite possibly the worst film ever made '' , while The Independent on Sunday stated that the film was `` a strong contender for the title of worst film of all time '' . It was also featured in Empire 's 50 Worst Movies Ever poll . The film currently has a 0 % rating on Rotten Tomatoes out of 13 reviews .
Godparent
In the early church , one sponsor seems to have been the norm , but in the early Middle Ages , there seems to have been two , one of each sex , and this practice has been largely maintained in Orthodox Christianity . In 888 , the Catholic Council of Metz attempted to limit the number to one , but proliferation seems to have continued . In early 14th - century Spain , as many as 20 godparents were being chosen . In England , the Synod of Worcester ( 1240 ) stipulated three sponsors ( two of the same sex and one of the opposite ) , and this has remained the norm in the Church of England . The Council of Trent attempted to limit the numbers of godparents to one or two , but practice has differed across the Catholic world .
Cell-free fetal DNA
In comparison to obstetric ultrasonography which is unreliable for sex determination in the first trimester and amniocentesis which carries a small risk of miscarriage , sampling of maternal plasma for analysis of cffDNA is without risk . The main targets in the cffDNA analysis are the gene responsible for the sex - determining region Y protein ( SRY ) on the Y chromosome and the DYS14 sequence .

Standardized test
Most everyday quizzes and tests taken by students typically meet the definition of a standardized test : everyone in the class takes the same test , at the same time , under the same circumstances , and all of the students are graded by their teacher in the same way . However , the term standardized test is most commonly used to refer to tests that are given to larger groups , such as a test taken by all adults who wish to acquire a license to have a particular kind of job , or by all students of a certain age .
Obesity in the United States
Ultimately , federal and local governments in the U.S. are willing to create political solutions that will reduce obesity ratings by `` recommending nutrition education , encouraging exercise , and asking the food and beverage industry to promote healthy practices voluntarily . '' In 2008 , New York City was the first city to pass a `` labeling bill '' that `` require ( d ) restaurants '' in several cities and states to `` post the caloric content of all regular menu items , in a prominent place and using the same font and format as the price . ''

Devils Tower
Today , hundreds of climbers scale the sheer rock walls of Devils Tower each summer . The most common route is the Durrance Route , which was the second free route established in 1938 . There are many established and documented climbing routes covering every side of the tower , ascending the various vertical cracks and columns of the rock . The difficulty of these routes range from relatively easy to some of the hardest in the world . All climbers are required to register with a park ranger before and after attempting a climb . No overnight camping at the summit is allowed ; climbers return to base on the same day they ascend .

Triangle
Hatch marks , also called tick marks , are used in diagrams of triangles and other geometric figures to identify sides of equal lengths . A side can be marked with a pattern of `` ticks '' , short line segments in the form of tally marks ; two sides have equal lengths if they are both marked with the same pattern . In a triangle , the pattern is usually no more than 3 ticks . An equilateral triangle has the same pattern on all 3 sides , an isosceles triangle has the same pattern on just 2 sides , and a scalene triangle has different patterns on all sides since no sides are equal . Similarly , patterns of 1 , 2 , or 3 concentric arcs inside the angles are used to indicate equal angles . An equilateral triangle has the same pattern on all 3 angles , an isosceles triangle has the same pattern on just 2 angles , and a scalene triangle has different patterns on all angles since no angles are equal .

Sex offender
It is argued that in the U.S. , sex offenders have been selected as the new realization of moral panics about sex , stranger danger , and national paranoia , the new folk devils or boogeymen . People convicted of any sex crime are `` transformed into a concept of evil , which is then personified as a group of faceless , terrifying , and predatory devils '' , who are , contrary to scientific evidence , perceived as a constant threat , habitually waiting for an opportunity to attack . Consequently , sex offenders are brought up by media on Halloween , despite the fact that there has never been a recorded case of abduction or abuse by a registered sex offender on Halloween .
Den Watts
Den and his wife Angie Watts ( Anita Dobson ) are landlords of The Queen Victoria pub in Albert Square , Walford . Despite being married , in his late thirties and having a mistress in Jan Hammond ( Jane How ) , Den is unable to turn down the advances of his adopted daughter Sharon Watts 's ( Letitia Dean ) 16 - year - old best friend , Michelle Fowler ( Susan Tully ) , in 1985 ; they have sex one night after closing time in the Queen Vic . When 16 - year - old Michelle falls pregnant , she refuses to name the father , fearing repercussions for Den and herself . When she gives birth to a daughter Vicki in 1986 , Den is not allowed any contact with her ; he is allowed to hold his daughter once and supported Michelle financially in secret . For many years the secret is kept hidden but Michelle 's mother , Pauline Fowler ( Wendy Richard ) , is one of the first to realise the truth , igniting a feud between her and Den , which intensifies when he admits to her in January 1988 that he is indeed Vicki 's father .
Political party
In one - party systems , one political party is legally allowed to hold effective power . Although minor parties may sometimes be allowed , they are legally required to accept the leadership of the dominant party . This party may not always be identical to the government , although sometimes positions within the party may in fact be more important than positions within the government . North Korea and China are examples ; others can be found in Fascist states , such as Nazi Germany between 1934 and 1945 . The one - party system is thus often equated with dictatorships and tyranny .
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
The church has become a strong and public champion of the nuclear family and at times played a prominent role in political matters , including opposition to MX Peacekeeper missile bases in Utah and Nevada , the Equal Rights Amendment , legalized gambling , same - sex marriage , and physician - assisted death . Apart from issues that it considers to be ones of morality , however , the church maintains a position of political neutrality , but encourages its members to be politically active , to participate in elections , and to be knowledgeable about current political and social issues within their communities , states , and countries .

History of women in the United States
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission , in charge of the enforcement of Title VII , ignored sex discrimination complaints , and the prohibition against sex discrimination in employment went unenforced for the next few years . One EEOC director called the prohibition `` a fluke ... conceived out of wedlock , '' and even the liberal magazine The New Republic asked , `` Why should a mischievous joke perpetrated on the floor of the House of Representatives be treated by a responsible administration body with this kind of seriousness ? ''
Industrial Revolution
The French philosopher Voltaire wrote about capitalism and religious tolerance in his book on English society , Letters on the English ( 1733 ) , noting why England at that time was more prosperous in comparison to the country 's less religiously tolerant European neighbours . `` Take a view of the Royal Exchange in London , a place more venerable than many courts of justice , where the representatives of all nations meet for the benefit of mankind . There the Jew , the Mahometan ( Muslim ) , and the Christian transact together , as though they all professed the same religion , and give the name of infidel to none but bankrupts . There the Presbyterian confides in the Anabaptist , and the Churchman depends on the Quaker 's word . If one religion only were allowed in England , the Government would very possibly become arbitrary ; if there were but two , the people would cut one another 's throats ; but as there are such a multitude , they all live happy and in peace . ''
Triangle
Two triangles that are congruent have exactly the same size and shape : all pairs of corresponding interior angles are equal in measure , and all pairs of corresponding sides have the same length . ( This is a total of six equalities , but three are often sufficient to prove congruence . )

Education in India
Most schools in India do not offer subject and scheduling flexibility due to budgeting constraints ( for e.g. : most students in India are not allowed to take Chemistry and History in grades 11 - 12 because they are part of different `` streams '' ) . Private candidates ( i.e. not studying in a school ) are generally not allowed to register for and take board examinations but there are some exceptions such as NIOS . 10th
