Static electricity:

• There are electrostatic forces between particles or objects with a positive or a negative charge.
• Charge is due to the surplus or defect of electrons.
• Like charges repel each other while opposite charges attract each other.
• Electric charge is measured in coulomb (C) and has the symbol Q.
• When there is an imbalance of positive and negative charge, we get a force between the charges according to Coulomb's law.

Electric current:

• Electric current is a flow of electrons or other charges through a material.
• Conductor: Electrons can move easily through the conductor.
• Insulator: It is very difficult for electrons to move through the material. The electrons are not free to move and form bonds.

Electrical Magnitudes:

• Potential difference is

WWI left Europe devastated. The total deaths of all nations who fought the war is thought to have been 8.5 million with 21 million being wounded.

The Treaty of Versailles at the end of WWI tells us that Germany can be blamed for starting it. It was signed by more than 50 countries on the 28th of June 1919 and included 15 parts and 440 articles. Some countries agreed with the treaty and others disagreed because they didn't want to start another war. However, Germany finally signed the treaty without protest. This treaty forced Germany to admit that they were responsible for WWI. Germany had to make territorial concessions, pay reparations to the winners, the Entente Powers, and disarm. It is important to consider that Germany was one of the most...

The GDR was a new style created in the part controlled by the USSR in the German territory. It was created in 1949 and existed until 1990 when the two German reunified.

Commercial Fishing

The aim of this modern form of fishing is the large-scale sale of the catch. It is common in developed countries. In commercial fishing, there are also different techniques for catching the fish. Two are especially worth noting: trawling and electrofishing with suction.

DISTANCE TO THE COAST

Coastal fishing:This is done in large bodies of fresh water or in the ocean near the coast. Boats go out for one or two days. They are small and use nets and paternoster lines, long fishing lines with several branches ending in a hook. This type of fishing does not employ a lot of technology.

Deep-sea fishing: This is done exclusively in the open sea by fleets equipped with sonar and radar to detect shoals of fish. The ships are very large

Sources of Commercial Law

The legal framework governing commercial transactions, particularly credit instruments, is derived from both primary and secondary sources.

Primary Sources of Commercial Regulation

1. Law and Applicable Statutes

   The primary law applicable to credit instruments is the LGTOC (General Law of Credit Instruments and Operations). Other commercial regulations are also applicable to fill legal gaps, such as the Commercial Code, specialized commercial laws, and the Federal Civil Code. All commercial regulations are federal in nature.

2. International Treaties

   Agreements and conventions ratified internationally that pertain to commercial transactions and credit instruments.

Secondary Sources of Commercial Regulation

Popular Screen Entertainment: NCIS and Titanic

NCIS: A Gripping Crime Drama

In my country, NCIS has been popular for a long time. However, it seems fashionable these days to criticize popular American TV series, but who doesn't watch them from time to time? There are different NCIS series, and I'm going to talk about NCIS: Navy.

My mother loves this TV series too, so I must admit I never miss an episode of NCIS. In it, Gibbs, "the boss," leads a brilliant team of investigators. Every episode is dramatic as they work to uncover who committed a murder.

Meet the NCIS Team

Gibbs is the main character. He's a tough guy with a big heart, who never rests until he has found the criminal. His team is made up of:

• DiNozzo
• Ziva
• McGee
• Abby
• Ducky
