The most general definition of nationalism is broad, and has been controversial throughout history. Specific examples of nationalism are extremely diverse. Extreme emotions are aroused when discussing nationalism, and that makes it difficult to describe and define nationalism. A recurring problem is that people define nationalism on the basis of their local experience. To a Breton nationalist, the central issue is state nationalism versus cultural nationalism; elsewhere that distinction may be irrelevant. Often supporters of nationalism fear ...

China National Tobacco faces a number of serious problems: namely, the counterfeiting of premium and foreign cigarettes, as well as a growing public awareness of the health risks inherent in smoking. The counterfeiting problem has grown to the extent that many customers, who would otherwise buy premium cigarettes, now purchase mid-range products to avoid "junk" counterfeits so pervasive in premium brands. Advertising, in print, radio, and TV has long been banned in China, and even outdoor ads require prior approval provided they are n ...

Y2K (improperly Y2k) was the common acronym for the year 2000 problem. The abbreviation combines the letter Y for "year", and K for the Greek prefix kilo meaning 1000; hence, 2K means 2000. It also went by millennium bug, although there is a popular debate on whether the year 2000 was actually the start of the new millennium. It is also said that the bug is technically a glitch. The term was coined on June 12, 1995 in an e-mail sent by a 52-year old Massachusetts programmer named David Eddy. H ...

The year 2000 problem (also known as the Y2K problem and the millennium bug) was a common practice (not a flaw) in computer program design that caused some date-related processing to operate incorrectly for dates and times on and after January 1, 2000. It turned into a major fear that critical industries (such as electricity or financial) and government functions would stop working at 12:00 AM, January 1, 2000, and at other critical dates which were billed as "event horizons". This fear was fueled by huge amounts of pres ...

A chess problem, formally called a chess composition, is a puzzle set by somebody using chess pieces on a chess board, presenting the solver with a particular task to be achieved. For instance, a position might be given with the instruction that white is to move first, and checkmate black in two moves against any possible defense. A person who creates such problems is known as a "composer". There is a good deal of specialized jargon used in chess ...

This is an incomplete list of some of the unsolved problems in physics. Some of these problems are theoretical, meaning that existing theories seem incapable of explaining some observed phenomenon or experimental result. Others are experimental, meaning that there is a difficulty in creating an experiment to test a proposed theory or investigate a phenomenon in greater detail. Lastly, some even border on the pseudo-sciences, e.g. the fringes of science which are widely discredited by today's community, but may some day show promise or ...

The problem of Hell is a variant of the problem of evil, aimed specifically at religions which hold both that: An omnipotent (all-powerful), omniscient (all-knowing), and omnibenevolent (all-loving) God exists.

In mathematical sociology, and especially game theory, the bankruptcy problem is a distribution problem involving the allocation of a given amount of a perfectly divisible good among a group of agents. The focus is on the case where the amount is insufficient to satisfy all their demands. Problems of the bankruptcy type arise in many real life situations. The canonical example would be that of a bankrupt firm that is to be liquidated. Another example would be the division of an estate amongst several heirs, particularly when ...

The Estates-General of 1789, which convened on May 5, had reached a deadlock in its deliberations by May 6. The representatives of the Third Estate therefore attempted to make the whole body more effective; they met separately from May 11 as the Communes. On June 12, the Communes invited the other Estates to join them: some members of the First Estate did so the following day. On June 17 the Communes declared themselves the National Assembly by a vote of 490 to 90. The First Estate joined the assem ...
