A credit card is a payment card issued to users (cardholders) to enable the cardholder to pay a merchant for goods and services based on the cardholder's promise to the card issuer to pay them for the amounts plus the other agreed charges. The card issuer (usually a bank) creates a revolving account and grants a line of credit to the cardholder, from which the cardholder can borrow money for payment to a merchant or as a cash advance. In other words, credit cards combine payment services with extensions of credit. Complex fee structures in the credit card industry may limit customers' ability to comparison shop, helping to ensure that the industry is not price-competitive and helping to maximize industry profits. Due to concerns about this, many legislatures have regulated credit card fees.
A credit card is different from a charge card, which requires the balance to be repaid in full each month. In contrast, credit cards allow the consumers a continuing balance of debt, subject to interest being charged. A credit card also differs from a cash card, which can be used like currency by the owner of the card. A credit card differs from a charge card also in that a credit card typically involves a third-party entity that pays the seller and is reimbursed by the buyer, whereas a charge card simply defers payment by the buyer until a later date.
A payment is the trade of value from one party (such as a person or company) to another for goods, or services, or to fulfill a legal obligation.
Payment can take a variety of forms. Barter, the exchange of one good or service for another, is a form of payment. The most common means of payment involve use of money, cheque, or debit, credit or bank transfers. Payments may also take complicated forms, such as stock issues or the transfer of anything of value or benefit to the parties. In US law, the payer is the party making a payment while the payee is the party receiving the payment. In trade, payments are frequently preceded by an invoice or bill.
In general, the payee is at liberty to determine what method of payment he or she will accept; though normally laws require the payer to accept the country's legal tender up to a prescribed limit. Payment is most commonly effected in the local currency of the payee, unless if the parties agree otherwise. Payment in another currency involves an additional foreign exchange transaction. The payee may compromise on a debt, i.e., accept a part payment in full settlement of a debtor's obligation, or may offer a discount, for example, for payment in cash, or for prompt payment, etc. On the other hand, the payee may impose a surcharge, for example, as a late payment fee, or for use of a certain credit card, etc.
The acceptance of a payment by the payee extinguishes a debt or other obligation. A creditor cannot unreasonably refuse to accept a payment, but payment can be refused in some circumstances, for example, on a Sunday or outside banking hours. A payee is usually obligated to acknowledge payment by producing a receipt to the payer. A receipt may be an endorsement on an account as "paid in full". The giving of a guarantee or other security for a debt does not constitute a payment.
Money is any item or verifiable record that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts, such as taxes, in a particular country or socio-economic context. The main functions of money are distinguished as: a medium of exchange, a unit of account, a store of value and sometimes, a standard of deferred payment. Any item or verifiable record that fulfils these functions can be considered as money.
Money is historically an emergent market phenomenon establishing a commodity money, but nearly all contemporary money systems are based on fiat money. Fiat money, like any check or note of debt, is without use value as a physical commodity. It derives its value by being declared by a government to be legal tender; that is, it must be accepted as a form of payment within the boundaries of the country, for "all debts, public and private". Counterfeit money can cause good money to lose its value.
The money supply of a country consists of currency (banknotes and coins) and, depending on the particular definition used, one or more types of bank money (the balances held in checking accounts, savings accounts, and other types of bank accounts). Bank money, which consists only of records (mostly computerized in modern banking), forms by far the largest part of broad money in developed countries.
Mammals (from Latin mamma "breast") are vertebrate animals constituting the class Mammalia ( ), and characterized by the presence of mammary glands which in females produce milk for feeding (nursing) their young, a neocortex (a region of the brain), fur or hair, and three middle ear bones. These characteristics distinguish them from reptiles and birds, from which they diverged in the late Triassic, 201–227 million years ago. There are around 5,450 species of mammals. The largest orders are the rodents, bats and Soricomorpha (shrews and others). The next three are the Primates (humans, apes, monkeys, and others), the Cetartiodactyla (whales and even-toed ungulates), and the Carnivora (cats, dogs, seals, and others).
In cladistics, which reflect evolution, mammals are classified as endothermic amniotes. They are the only living Synapsida, which together with the Sauropsida (reptiles and birds) form the Amniota clade. The early synapsid mammalian ancestors were sphenacodont pelycosaurs, a group that produced the non-mammalian Dimetrodon. At the end of the Carboniferous period around 300 million years ago, this group diverged from the sauropsid line that led to today's reptiles and birds. The line following the stem group Sphenacodontia split off several diverse groups of non-mammalian synapsids—sometimes referred to as mammal-like reptiles—before giving rise to the proto-mammals (Therapsida) in the early Mesozoic era. The modern mammalian orders arose in the Paleogene and Neogene periods of the Cenozoic era, after the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs, and have been among the dominant terrestrial animal groups from 66 million years ago to the present.
The basic body type is quadruped, and most mammals use their four extremities for terrestrial locomotion; but in some, the extremities are adapted for life at sea, in the air, in trees, underground, or on two legs. Mammals range in size from the 30–40 mm (1.2–1.6 in) bumblebee bat to the 30-meter (98 ft) blue whale—the largest animal on the planet. Maximum lifespan varies from two years for the shrew to 211 years for the bowhead whale. All modern mammals give birth to live young, except the five species of monotremes, which are egg-laying mammals. The most species-rich group of mammals, the cohort called placentals, have a placenta, which enables the feeding of the fetus during gestation.
ジグソウまたはジグソウ・キラー(Jigsaw Killer)は、映画『ソウ』シリーズに登場する架空の人物。連続猟奇殺人犯。
シリーズを経て人物が代わるが(人数も変わる)、このページではジョン・クレイマーを軸に記述する。
「ゲーム」と称した儀式を行う殺人鬼。人間心理を巧妙に読み取る術に長けており、二重三重にも計算されたトラップを用意し、これまで数十人以上の犠牲者を出している。ただし、必ず生き残れる手段が作られており、殺人そのものが目的ではない(詳しくは殺人方法・嗜好を参照)。
初期はジョン・クレイマーによる単独犯で、主にジグソウと言えば彼を指す。2作目以降は弟子などと共に複数犯となり、彼の死後は弟子が名を継いで犯行に及んでいる。
「ジグソウ」の意味は直訳で糸鋸のことであるが、死体にジグソーパズルを模した印を付けることから作中のメディアがつけた名称である。ジョン本人は自らをジグソウと名乗ったことはない。なおjigsawの発音は[dʒígsɔ̀]なのでカナで書くなら「ジグソー」のほうが近い。
ラン科(蘭科、Orchidaceae)は、単子葉植物の科のひとつで、その多くが美しく、独特の形の花を咲かせる。世界に700属以上15000種、日本に75属230種がある。鑑賞価値の高いものが多く、栽培や品種改良が進められている。他方、採取のために絶滅に瀕している種も少なくない。
ラン科の種はラン(蘭)と総称される。英語では「Orchid(オーキッド)」で、ギリシア語の睾丸を意味する「ορχις (orchis)」が語源であるが、これはランの塊茎(バルブ)が睾丸に似ていることに由来する。
南極をのぞくすべての大陸の熱帯から亜寒帯に自生する。被子植物の中では最も後に地球上に現れた植物である。被子植物の中で、もっとも種数の多い科となっている。
植物体は偽鱗茎(バルブ)を持つものなど独特の部分が多く、また、花は左右対称で、虫媒花の中では特異なほど効率の良い花形を発達させ、特定の昆虫との共進化を見せるものも知られている。また根や種子の発芽では菌との共生が大きな役割を担う。
短期間に急速に適応放散してきたため種の間の遺伝学的隔たりが小さく、種間雑種や属間雑種ができやすい。また、媒介昆虫との共進化の例が知られており、現在においてもなお急速な進化を続けていると考えられている。
花の美しさや姿のおもしろさから、多くのものが観賞用とされており、またそのための採集圧から絶滅の危機が問題になっているものも多い。
