Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy is a legal process through which people or other entities who cannot repay debts to creditors may seek relief from some or all of their debts. In most jurisdictions, bankruptcy is imposed by a court order, often initiated by the debtor. Bankrupt is not the only legal status that an insolvent person may have, and the term ''bankruptcy'' is therefore not a synonym for insolvency. Etymology The word ''bankruptcy'' is derived from Italian ''banca rotta'', literally meaning "broken bank". The term is often described as having originated in renaissance Italy, where there allegedly existed the tradition of smashing a banker's bench if he defaulted on payment so that the public could see that the banker, the owner of the bench, was no longer in a condition to continue his business, although some dismiss this as a false etymology. History In Ancient Greece, bankruptcy did not exist. If a man owed and he could not pay, he and his wife, children or servants were forced into " ...

Insolvent
In accounting, insolvency is the state of being unable to pay the debts, by a person or company (debtor), at maturity; those in a state of insolvency are said to be ''insolvent''. There are two forms: cash-flow insolvency and balance-sheet insolvency. Cash-flow insolvency is when a person or company has enough assets to pay what is owed, but does not have the appropriate form of payment. For example, a person may own a large house and a valuable car, but not have enough liquid assets to pay a debt when it falls due. Cash-flow insolvency can usually be resolved by negotiation. For example, the bill collector may wait until the car is sold and the debtor agrees to pay a penalty. Balance-sheet insolvency is when a person or company does not have enough assets to pay all of their debts. The person or company might enter bankruptcy, but not necessarily. Once a loss is accepted by all parties, negotiation is often able to resolve the situation without bankruptcy. A company that i ...

Broke Baronets
There have been two baronetcies created for persons with the surname Broke, one in the Baronetage of England and one in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. Both creations are extinct. The Broke Baronetcy, of Nacton in the County of Suffolk, was created in the Baronetage of England on 21 May 1661 for Robert Broke, subsequently Member of Parliament for Suffolk. He was a descendant of Sir Richard Broke, Chief Baron of the Exchequer during the reign of Henry VIII. The title became extinct on Sir Robert's death in 1694. The Broke estates passed to his nephew Robert Broke, who was the grandfather of Philip Broke, who was created a baronet in 1813 (see below). The Broke, later Broke-Middleton Baronetcy, of Broke Hall in the County of Suffolk, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 2 November 1813. For more information on this creation, see Broke-Middleton baronets. Broke baronets, of Nacton (1661) *Sir Robert Broke, 1st Baronet (–1694) Broke, later Broke-Middleton ...

Ivor Lott And Tony Broke
Ivor Lott and Tony Broke was a British strip which originally appeared in the comic book ''Cor!!'' on 6 June 1970, before moving to '' Buster'' when the two comics merged in June 1974. The comic strip lasted until the final issue of ''Buster'' on 3 January 2000. The comic was originally drawn by Reg Parlett and later continued by artists such as Jim Crocker and Sid Burgon. Concept The strips revolved around two boys who lived close to each other. Tony Broke (a pun on the English slang term "stony broke," meaning to have no money at all) was the penniless hero of the stories, living in Broke Cottage; while Ivor Lott (which sounds like "I've a lot") — a spoiled, rich snob — was the villain, living in Lott Hall. The format of the strips was usually the same; Tony would be enjoying himself with some simple, cheap toy or activity, and Ivor would show off with an incredibly expensive version of the toy, bullying his neighbour in the process. On other occasions Tony went up against I ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Plan To Restore Our Trust, Truth, And Treasure
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words.
