The graph illustrates the use of renewable energy in the United States during the years 1949 to 2008.

The red line shows the total consumption of this type of energy, which had an important growth for that 59-year period.

More specifically, hydroelectric power was the type of renewable energy that was used the most across these years, being only surpassed by wood energy for a couple of years back in the late 1940s and late 1980s. Wood energy, on the other hand, had a substantial increment during the 1970s, and stayed as the second most consumed type of renewable energy for this period.

Opposite to hydroelectric power and wood, both biofuels and wind were not being used until the 1980s, and only biofuel -which soared in the end of the period- came close to wood energy during 2008. Lastly, wind had very steady consumption levels from the 1980s to early 2000s. However, its use increased during these last years, from around 2004 to 2008.

The chart displays where Venezuelan students have traveled to from 2011 to 2014. The cities taken into consideration are Paris, London, and Rome.

Paris is the city that has seen the biggest increase in numbers throughout this period, starting just at 10,000 of visiting students per year in 2012, and doubling that number one year after. Although this city is not in its peak anymore, it was the second most visited city by Venezuelan students in the end of the period, falling behind London by just a little.

Moreover, the numbers of London have not soared like the statistics of Paris. However, the capital of the United Kingdom has seen a steady increment during this four-year period, raising from 15,000 up to almost 20,000.

On the opposite side, the numbers of Rome plummeted in 2012, from approximately 18,000 to 12,000, and then went back to their former state one year after. Nonetheless, such numbers decreased again in 2014, finishing at the bottom of these three cities.

The line graph illustrates the number of Venezuelan students visiting three popular tourist destinations—Paris, London, and Rome—between 2011 and 2014.

Overall, the trends for all three cities show fluctuations over the four-year period, with Paris and London attracting more students, while Rome experienced a significant dip before recovering.

In 2011, London had the most visiting students, with approximately 15,000, followed closely by Paris. Rome was slightly higher in 2011, with nearly 20,000 students but experienced a sharp decline in 2012 to around 10,000, making it the least visited destination that year. In contrast, both Paris and London experienced steady growth, with Paris surpassing London by 2013 and peaking at around 22,000 students. However, by 2014, the number of visiting students to Paris decreased slightly, while London maintained a consistent increase, surpassing 20,000.

Rome, despite its earlier drop, showed a recovery starting in 2013 and continued to rise until 2014, though it remained the least visited destination.

The chart offers statistics regarding the quantity of pupils that studied in four types of secondary school between the years of 2000 and 2009.

First, specialist schools have had a steady decrease over the years, with only 2% down, from 12% to 10%. However, the percentage of students that studied in grammar schools have plummeted by half, starting at 24% and ending nine years later with only 12%.

Another similar case are the voluntary-controlled schools, which saw an even larger decrease during this period. In 2000, more than half of the total students attended this kind of schools, but nine years later, only twenty percent remained studying in them.

On the other hand, the number of attending students in community schools soared over this period, from just 12% to an impressive 58% in 2009, which is evidently higher in comparison to the other types of secondary schools.

The town is getting some changes, as we can see in the proposed plan to the right of the current layout.

First of all, the air field will be turned into an industrial estate, which will also be connected to the northern part of the railway. Moreover, the railway will feature a new roundabout in the middle of it, which will lead to the gas station to the south, and the build-up area ring road and the town center to the east. On the other side, both the roundabout of A2 street and the gas station will see no changes.

On top of that, the town center will now have access to the main road, so citizens can expect an easier access to this zone. Additionally, the town center will be connected to the railway and A2 street by a new street called A4, which will be located in the southern part of this area.

We have two pie charts, one stating the revenue sources, and the other the expenditures. For this period, the income was higher than the expenses, since the former amounts to $53,561,580.00, and the latter to $53,224,896.00, resulting in a net income of $336,684.00.

For the revenue, the sector that contributed the most was Donated Food at 86.60%, whereas Government Grants and Investment Incomes were both the lowest at 0.2%. Additionally, Community Contributions (10.4%), Program Revenue (2.2%) and Other Incomes (0.4%) also contributed to the company’s takings during that period.

On the other hand, Program Services represented the highest expense at 95.8%, and Management and General proved to be the least expensive at 1.6%. Moreover, Fundraising was another activity that took part in the expenses, but just for 2.6%.

In conclusion, both revenue and expenses are dominated by one item each. However, smaller units also complemented them, but for less than 15%.

The pie charts show the amount of revenue and expenditures in 2016 for a children’s charity in the USA. Overall, it can be seen that donated food accounted for the majority of the income, while program services accounted for the most expenditure. Total revenue sources just exceeded outgoings.

In detail, donated food provided most of the revenue for the charity, at 86%. Similarly, with regard to expenditures, one category, program services, accounted for nearly all of the outgoings, at 95.8%.

The other categories were much smaller. Community contributions, which were the second largest revenue source, brought in 10.4% of overall income, and this was followed by program revenue, at 2.2%. Investment income, government grants, and other income were very small sources of revenue, accounting for only 0.8% combined.

There were only two other expenditure items, fundraising and management and general, accounting for 2.6% and 1.6% respectively. The total amount of income was $53,561,580, which was just enough to cover the expenditures of $53,224,896.

Conservative justices in majority, liberals dissent

"Absolute immunity" given to certain official acts

Ruling makes a Trump trial before election improbable

WASHINGTON, July 1 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Monday that Donald Trump cannot be prosecuted for actions that were within his constitutional powers as president in a landmark decision recognizing for the first time any form of presidential immunity from prosecution.

The justices, in a 6-3 ruling authored by Chief Justice John Roberts, threw out a lower court's decision that had rejected Trump's claim of immunity from federal criminal charges involving his efforts to undo his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden. The six conservative justices were in the majority, while its three liberal members dissented.

Trump is the Republican candidate challenging Biden, a Democrat, in the Nov. 5 U.S. election in a 2020 rematch. The Supreme Court's slow handling of the case and its decision to return key questions about the scope of Trump's immunity to the trial judge to resolve make it improbable he will be tried before the election on these charges brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith.

"We conclude that under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of presidential power requires that a former president have some immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts during his tenure in office," Roberts wrote.

Immunity for former presidents is "absolute" with respect to their "core constitutional powers," Roberts wrote, and a former president has "at least a presumptive immunity" for "acts within the outer perimeter of his official responsibility," meaning prosecutors face a high legal bar to overcome that presumption.

In remarks at the White House, Biden called the ruling "a dangerous precedent" because the power of the presidency will no longer be constrained by the law.

"This nation was founded on the principle that there are no kings in America ... no one is above the law, not even the president of the United States," added Biden, speaking hours after one of his campaign officials said the ruling makes it easier for Trump "to pursue a path to dictatorship."

The ruling could scuttle parts of the special counsel's case as U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan mulls the breadth of Trump's immunity.

In recognizing broad immunity for Trump, Roberts cited the need for a president to "execute the duties of his office fearlessly and fairly" without the threat of prosecution.

"As for a president's unofficial acts," Roberts added, "there is no immunity."

Trump hailed the ruling in a social media post, writing: "BIG WIN FOR OUR CONSTITUTION AND DEMOCRACY. PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!"

Trump, 78, is the first former U.S. president to be criminally prosecuted and the first former president convicted of a crime. Smith's election subversion charges embody one of the four criminal cases Trump has faced.

The court analyzed four categories of conduct contained in the indictment. They are: his discussions with U.S. Justice Department officials following the election; his alleged pressure on then-Vice President Mike Pence to block congressional certification of Biden's win; his alleged role in assembling fake pro-Trump electors to be used in the certification process; and his conduct related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters.

The outcome gave Trump much of what he sought but stopped short of allowing absolute immunity for all official acts, as his lawyers had advocated. Instead the court specified that actions within the president's "exclusive sphere of constitutional authority" enjoy such a shield, while those taken outside his exclusive powers are only "presumptively immune."

The court found Trump was absolutely immune for conversations with Justice Department officials. Trump is also "presumptively immune" regarding his interactions with Pence, it decided, but returned that and the two other categories to lower courts to determine whether Trump has immunity.

The ruling marked the first time since the nation's 18th century founding that the Supreme Court has declared that former presidents may be shielded from criminal charges in any instance. The court's conservative majority includes three justices Trump appointed.

The court decided the case on the last day of its term.

'PRESIDENT IS NOW A KING'

Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by fellow liberal Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, delivered a sharply worded dissent, saying the ruling effectively creates a "law-free zone around the president."

"When he uses his official powers in any way, under the majority's reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution. Orders the Navy's Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune," Sotomayor wrote.

"In every use of official power, the president is now a king above the law," Sotomayor added.

Trump's trial had been scheduled to start on March 4 before the delays over the immunity issue. Now, no trial date is set. Trump made his immunity claim to the trial judge in October, meaning the issue has been litigated for about nine months.

'THUMB ON THE SCALE'

UCLA School of Law professor Rick Hasen, a critic of Trump's efforts to overturn his election defeat, said: "The Supreme Court has put out a fact-intensive test on the boundaries of the president's immunity - with a huge thumb on the scale favoring the president's immunity - in a way that will surely push this case past the election."

"Sorting out the court's opinion and how it applies is going to take a while," Georgetown University law professor Erica Hashimoto added. "No chance of a pre-election trial."

The Supreme Court made two other rulings this year beneficial to Trump. In March, it reinstated Trump to the presidential primary ballot in Colorado. And last week, it raised the legal bar for prosecutors pursuing obstruction charges in Smith's election subversion case against Trump and defendants involved in the Capitol attack.

In the special counsel's August 2023 indictment, Trump was charged with conspiring to defraud the United States, corruptly obstructing an official proceeding and conspiring to do so, and conspiring against the right of Americans to vote. He has pleaded not guilty.

Sotomayor wrote on Monday: "Relying on little more than its own misguided wisdom about the need for bold and unhesitating action by the president, the court gives former President Trump all the immunity he asked for and more."

In a separate case brought in New York state court, Trump was found guilty by a jury in Manhattan on May 30 on 34 counts of falsifying documents to cover up hush money paid to a porn star to avoid a sex scandal before the 2016 election. Trump also faces criminal charges in two other cases. He has pleaded not guilty in those and called all the cases against him politically motivated.

Not since its landmark Bush v. Gore decision, which handed the disputed 2000 U.S. election to Republican George W. Bush over Democrat Al Gore, has the Supreme Court played such an integral role in a presidential race.

If Trump regains the presidency, he could try to force an end to the prosecution or potentially pardon himself for any federal crimes.

Bob looked at Ed. Ed looked at Bob. Bob hated the way Ed looked at him, with that penetrating gaze. They’d been walking along the beach. The day was cold and misty. Bob had stopped to pick up a piece of driftwood.

And now, with Ed’s inquiring eyes, Bob knew he couldn’t keep it in any longer.

“All right,” he said. “I’ll spill it. I have to. Just listen. Let me get it out. I did it. I killed her. I took a knife and I did it. Was it a fit of rage? I tell myself that, Ed, but I know deep down I’d been planning it for months. After I did it, I wrapped her body in plastic, I tied ropes around her and attached two cinder blocks, put her in the boat and went out beyond Anacapa Island. Right out there, I can point to the spot. And that’s where she is now. I set up an alibi, somebody to lie for me, but I can’t lie to you, Ed. I never could. So there it is. And hey, you know what? I feel better now. I really do.”

Ed just stared at him. Those eyes!

“Okay,” Bob said. “You win.”

Bob hurled the piece of driftwood into the waves.

“Fetch, boy!” Bob said.

Juan made drinking a regular habit. In the beginning, everytime he drank, he would see the creature disapprove his actions, but just as the years elapsed, he would ignore it, and the creature would appear less and less often, until it dissapeared forever.

One day, Juan fell ill due to his excessive drinking. On his last day, the creature showed up after years of not visiting him.

The creature told Juan that he was about to die. Juan, angry at the creature, demanded an explanation of why it didn't tell him before about his fate. It replied that Juan was warned indeed. It told him that it foresaw Juan's fate in every sip of alcohol he drank, but that Juan decided to ignore the creature.

Juan then understood the creature's message, and felt sorry for not listening to it sooner.

This creature still lurks in México and in every part of the world. It has talked to every human since the beginning of time, and will continue to do so. Even though it was nameless for a while in the past, nowadays some people have come to call it: conscience.

The next day he doubted about his conversation with the creature, so, in order to calm himself, he concluded that he was just tired. Because the day before had been a tough one, he wanted to start the morning the best way possible: with a glass of hot milk and alcohol.

However, just as the first sip of alcohol entered his mouth, the creature appeared outside of his house. He could barely see its shadowy form through the window. The creature whispered him to stop, but Juan kept drinking to avoid the thought.
