N Salem Village in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Bridget Bishop, the first colonist to be tried in the Salem witch trials, is hanged after being found guilty of the practice of witchcraft.

Trouble in the small Puritan community began in February 1692, when nine-year-old Elizabeth Parris and 11-year-old Abigail Williams, the daughter and niece, respectively, of the Reverend Samuel Parris, began experiencing fits and other mysterious maladies. A doctor concluded that the children were suffering from the effects of witchcraft, and the young girls corroborated the doctor’s diagnosis. Under compulsion from the doctor and their parents, the girls named those allegedly responsible for their suffering.

On March 1, Sarah Goode, Sarah Osborne, and Tituba, an Indian slave from Barbados, became the first Salem residents to be charged with the capital crime of witchcraft. Later that day, Tituba confessed to the crime and subsequently aided the authorities in identifying more Salem witches. With encouragement from adults in the community, the girls, who were soon joined by other “afflicted” Salem residents, accused a widening circle of local residents of witchcraft, mostly middle-aged women but also several men and even one four-year-old child. During the next few months, the afflicted area residents incriminated more than 150 women and men from Salem Village and the surrounding areas of satanic practices.

In June 1692, the special Court of Oyer and Terminer ["to hear and to decide"] convened in Salem under Chief Justice William Stoughton to judge the accused. The first to be tried was Bridget Bishop of Salem, who was accused of witchcraft by more individuals than any other defendant. Bishop, known around town for her dubious moral character, frequented taverns, dressed flamboyantly (by Puritan standards), and was married three times. She professed her innocence but was found guilty and executed by hanging on June 10. Thirteen more women and five men from all stations of life followed her to the gallows, and one man, Giles Corey, was executed by crushing. Most of those tried were condemned on the basis of the witnesses’ behavior during the actual proceedings, characterized by fits and hallucinations that were argued to have been caused by the defendants on trial.

In October 1692, Governor William Phipps of Massachusetts ordered the Court of Oyer and Terminer dissolved and replaced with the Superior Court of Judicature, which forbade the type of sensational testimony allowed in the earlier trials. Executions ceased, and the Superior Court eventually released all those awaiting trial and pardoned those sentenced to death. The Salem witch trials, which resulted in the executions of 19 innocent women and men, had effectively ended.

nadezda [96]

Answer:

219.57 units

Explanation:

Given :

Daily demand, d = 7 per day

Standard deviation, = 2 per day

Service probability = 98%

Total number of days per week = 7

Lead time , L = 3 days

On hand inventory, I = 35

Now calculating the optimal order quantity by using the given formula,

$q=d(T+L)+ z \ \sigma_{r+L}-I$   .............(i)

First, we will find out the value of  $\sigma_{r+L}$ and z.

Therefore,

$\sigma_{r+L}=\sqrt{(30+3)(2)^2}$

        $=\sqrt{132}$

       = 11.48

Now the value of z can be found out from the z-table,

Z value for 98% service level = 2.054

Now putting the value of $\sigma_{r+L}$ and z in equation (i), we get,

$q=d(T+L)+ z \ \sigma_{r+L}-I$  

   = (7)(30+3)+(2.054)(11.48) - 35

   = 231 + 23.57 - 35

   = 219.57 units

So the optimal number of the units required to be order = 219.57 units

Yes it is copyright infringement.

In order for someone to transfer any material (in this case music) digitally or online, it must be copied first. So when someone produces a digital sampling of copyrighted material, no matter if it only lasts a couple of seconds, it constitutes copyright infringement.

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The labor would increase

Explanation:

When the government decides to lower the income tax in the coming year, which is financed by the findings of a large as well as a previously unknown warehouse for real goods, then there would be an increase in the labor as the reduction in the income tax would cause more and more investment. And thus organizations and firms increase their efficiencies and create more and more output by increasing the labor.
