United Nations Climate Change conference

The United Nations Climate Change Conferences are yearly conferences held in the framework of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). They serve as the formal meeting of the UNFCCC Parties (Conference of the Parties, COP) to assess progress in dealing with climate change, and beginning in the mid-1990s, to negotiate the Kyoto Protocol to establish legally binding obligations for developed countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.[1] From 2005 the Conferences have also served as the "Conference of the Parties Serving as the Meeting of Parties to the Kyoto Protocol" (CMP);[2] also parties to the Convention that are not parties to the Protocol can participate in Protocol-related meetings as observers. From 2011 the meetings have also been used to negotiate the Paris Agreement as part of the Durban platform activities until its conclusion in 2015, which created a general path towards climate action.
The first UN Climate Change Conference was held in 1995 in Berlin.[3][4]

Yield spread or Credit spread

Image
In  finance , the  yield spread  or  credit spread  is the difference between the quoted rates of return on two different investments, usually of different credit qualities but similar maturities. It is often an indication of the  risk premium  for one investment product over another. The phrase is a compound of  yield  and  spread . The "yield spread of X over Y" is generally the annualized percentage  yield to maturity  (YTM) of  financial instrument  X minus the YTM of financial instrument Y. There are several measures of yield spread relative to a benchmark  yield curve , including interpolated spread ( I-spread ), zero-volatility spread ( Z-spread ), and  option-adjusted spread  (OAS). It is also possible to define a yield spread between two different maturities of otherwise comparable bonds. For example, if a certain bond with a 10-year maturity yields 8% and a comparable bond from the same...

A Story of JOKER

Image
The  Joker  is a  supervillain  created by  Bill Finger ,  Bob Kane , and  Jerry Robinson  who first appeared in the debut issue of the  comic book   Batman  (April 25, 1940), published by  DC Comics . Credit for the Joker's creation is disputed; Kane and Robinson claimed responsibility for the Joker's design while acknowledging Finger's writing contribution. Although the Joker was planned to be killed off during his initial appearance, he was spared by editorial intervention, allowing the character to endure as the archenemy of the superhero  Batman . In his comic book appearances, the Joker is portrayed as a criminal mastermind. Introduced as a  psychopath  with a warped, sadistic sense of humor, the character became a goofy prankster in the late 1950s in response to regulation by the  Comics Code Authority , before returning to his darker roots during the early 1970s. As Batman's nemesis, the Joker has...
