You don’t “buy” a future, you enter into a long futures contract. You don’t “execute” it, but if you hold it on the delivery date, the underlying will be delivered to you, assuming it is a physically settled futures (for cash-settled futures, you receive the dollar value of the underlying, not the underlying itself).Delivery, including adjustment for grade and location, is done according to complicated rules. For example, here are the delivery terms for CME Wheat Futures, https://www.cmegroup.com/content/dam/cmegroup/rulebook/CBOT/II/14/14.pdf. For this futures contract, you will receive a “wheat certificate” from a “regular facility located within the Chicago Switching District, the Burns Harbor, Indiana Switching District, the Northwest Ohio Territory, the St. Louis – Alton Territory, on the Ohio River, on the Mississippi River or the Toledo, Ohio Switching District” for 5,000 bushels.The person on the short side of the contract who was assigned delivery gets to choose the facility and grade, but there are price adjustments to offset any value differences.Your wheat certificate does not represent any specific wheat, it merely gives you the right to instruct the holding facility to load up 5,000 bushels of the specified type and grade of wheat into whatever vehicles you send to collect the wheat. If you leave the wheat at the facility, you will get bills for storage. If you don’t pay them, the facility will sell your wheat to cover the costs. You can sell your certificate to someone else.Whatever happens, the wheat will not be dumped on your front lawn.

English has a number of features that, while not absolutely unique to English, just rare in the world, the collection of them is unique to English:th- (interdental fricative) is rare among world languages. Icelandic, Arabic, and some Northwest Indian languages have it. Everybody has problems pronouncing it when learning English.spelling/orthography - English is special in having an idiosyncratic spelling to pronunciation map, primarily produced by major sound changes (the Great Vowel Shift) after some solidification of spelling norms had happened, but then fluid spelling norms throughout time, and lots of foreign word influences.do-support - that's a fancy way of saying that 'do' gets spliced in for negatives and questions. "I know who that is" -> "Do you know who that is?", "I do not know who that is.". The only other languages in the world that have that feature are Welsh and coastal Belgian Dutch dialects.adverbs at end OK (like in phrasal verbs "Let's call the meeting off" "You should think it over". These adverbs don't really introduce an adverbial phrase or indicate direction or anything we normally associate with adverbs. They are 'idiomatic', they mean something much more with the verb than by themselves. It also occurs in other Germanic languages.genderless (in IE) - You know how French and Spanish have gender, a (grammatical) sex marker for each noun 'la table' but 'le département’ chaise'? Most Indo-European languages have some sort of gender assignment. This is cheating a bit because in the world it's roughly half and halfmultiple layers of vocabulary - The British Isles are somewhat isolated, as islands tend to be, but somehow attracted multiple invasions over the centuries. Celts, Saxons, Norse, French, and scholars and engineers with a penchant for Latin and Greek. Most European languages share the latter with English, but not all of the previous ones. Oh yeah, lots of words borrowed from indigenous conquered people. English isn't special in having loan words: Swahili has lots of Arabic, and Mandarin lots of Manchu and Mongolian. But English has multiple different sources.But given all this, there is one thing that English is not particularly unique in and that is in being unique. Wait, that doesn't sound right. What I mean to say is that though English is certainly special in having all the above rare idiosyncracies all in one place, most languages have a number of similarly idiosyncratic facts about them that distinguish them from all other languages, just not the same ones listed above that are special to English. French has the rare nasal vowels and some adjectives that go before nouns and some after. So English is not unique in being unique.source: https://linguistics.stackexchange.com/questions/2427/what-characteristics-are-unique-to-english-or-at-least-rare-among-language-as-a?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=google_rich_qa&utm_campaign=google_rich_qa

Poverty is defined by China as anyone in rural areas earning less than about $2.30 a day (adjusted for inflation). It was fixed in 2010 and looks at income but also living conditions, healthcare and education. It is higher than the $1.90 a day poverty line used by the World Bank to look at poverty globally.Since 2012, China has lifted about 100 million rural people out of poverty. The fundamental purpose is to ensure residents can attain a better life. Accordingly, residents who used to be poverty-stricken are living a better life. They have access to safe drinking water, have moved into new homes, gained employed and earning higher incomes. Photos show the contrasts.Access to safe drinking waterIn 2018, China still had 1.04 million people who had difficulty accessing safe drinking water, a third of whom were in Xinjiang alone. From that time on, China’s Ministry of Water Resources made ensuring safe drinking water for the poor as its top priority.Nasier Maitiniyazi is getting water from a river; he carries the water on his back and goes home; Villagers volunteered to join the water project.Nasier Maitiniyazi, 71, lives in Uchkebron village, Yutian County, northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. He spent 60 years going back and forth between a muddy river to his home to get enough water for both drinking and other daily usage. He worried whether the family would have enough clean water to get through the next day. To solve the problem, a team was dispatched to the village to find clean water resources. Villagers volunteered to join the project. In July 2019, a clean spring water flowed into every household in the village.From 2016 to 2020, a total of 2.903 billion yuan was invested into the projects to improve the safe drinking water in rural areas for over 270 million rural residents.Reservoir dwellers are living a better life.Reservoir dwellers in villages lying by the Qingfengling reservoir in Anzhuang Township, Shandong Province scraped a living on barren farmland.
