What band has sold the most concert tickets of all time?
Like so many Quora questions, this is phrased a bit imprecisely, but I read this as total number of TICKETS over the lifetime of the band.The answer to this is not as easy as the person listing The Rolling Stones implies. The question was number of TICKETS, not GROSS REVENUE. Until Garcia’s demise, the Grateful Dead held the record and may still hold the record. That’s because they did something like 50 concerts a year for a very long time. Revenue is not the same as number of tickets. The Stones had some huge tours, but they did not tour every year. They charged a lot for the tickets. The concerts cost a lot to produce. Any time you do a “lifetime” assessment, you also have to adjust for inflation if you do revenue. Again, I take the question as number of tickets, not revenue.For a single date, there was some Brazilian boy band that sold 200K tickets for ONE CONCERT.Altamont Speedway Free Festival depicted in the Gimme Shelter movie) was a free concert, but 300K showed up there. But, that wasn’t one band.The other thing is many instinctively go with a rock band as the answer. I would too, but for one year, for example, you have Garth Brooks selling 6 MILLION in one year (again, number of tickets, not revenue).Like the Grateful Dead, you have the Dave Matthews Band. They never had a single year where they sold the most tickets, but they played every year. From the LA Times (emphasis added): “The Dave Matthews Band not only ended up with the highest cumulative concert gross from 2000 through 2009 -- at $529.1 million -- but the group also sold significantly more tickets during that period than any other act.”The fun of thinking about this as TICKETS not revenue, is that it is hard to come up with a definitive answer. As the music industry continues to change, artists continue to make more money from concerts than from “unit” sales of the music (streaming/CDs/etc.). It will be interesting to see if this changes the dynamic over time for total tickets sold.
Imagine there's a hole from the North Pole to the South Pole, then I jump from the North Pole, will I proceed falling when I reach South Pole?
Mark Shegelski, an associate professor of physics at the University of Northern British Columbia, explains.The simple answer is, theoretically, yes. First, let us ignore friction, the rotation of the earth, and other complications, and focus on the case of a hole or tunnel entering the earth at one point, going straight through its center, and coming back to the surface at the opposite side of the planet. If we treat the mass distribution in the earth as uniform, one would fall into the tunnel and then come back up to the surface on the other side in a manner much like the motion of a pendulum swinging down and up again. Assuming that the journey began with zero initial speed (simply dropping into the hole), your speed would increase and reach a maximum at the center of the earth, and then decrease until you reached the surface, at which point the speed would again be zero. The gravitational force exerted on the traveler would be proportional to his distance from the center of the earth: it's at a maximum at the surface and zero at the center. The total time required for this trip would be about 42 minutes. The speed of our traveler at the center of the Earth would be 7,900 meters a second. If there were no friction, there would be no energy loss so our traveler could oscillate into and out of the tunnel.
Do police officers in America have a duty to protect citizens?
Do police officers in America have a duty to protect citizens?There’s a lot of answers in here, but let’s break it down to the legal nuts and bolts.As far as the courts are concerned, police have what is called a general duty to protect citizens at large, but they do not have a specific duty to protect any one person. In 1989 SCOTUS stated, "Nothing in the language of the Due Process Clause itself requires the State to protect the life, liberty, and property of its citizens against invasion by private actors."There are a few important exceptions, such as whether or not a special relationship exists between the police and a citizen (i.e. if the police have you in custody), or whether there is a state-created danger (i.e. police left a situation more dangerous than they found it).The courts have been inconsistent when finding if a state created danger exists in any one case. For example. the Third Circuit found that a state created danger existed when police, after stopping two pedestrians, left the intoxicated wife to walk a third of a block to her home alone in the dark on a cold night after her husband had already left. Sending her home "unescorted in a visibly intoxicated state in cold weather," made her "more vulnerable" to harm, which, the Court held, was foreseeable. However, the Eighth Circuit held that a duty to protect did not exist where the designated driver was arrested on a warrant and allowed to drive his car to the police station. His passengers, who were drunk, remained unattended in the car outside the police station for about 30 minutes, drove off, and were involved in a fatal crash. The Court reasoned that a due process claim could not be brought, as it was not reasonable to find that the arresting officer "knew or should have known that the two passengers were drunk and unfit to drive."And specific to the tenor of the question, courts, like in Castle Rock v. Gonzalez, have routinely found that there is no due process claim when the police fail to serve orders or fail to investigate missing persons or other calls for service. Prior to Castle Rock, for example, the Tenth Circuit found that there was no due process claim when the police failed to enforce a restraining order on a father who killed his children.As you can see, while there should be a due process claim when a special relationship exists or when there is a state-created danger, Federal courts don’t always apply this standard consistently.

9/11 question ! hurry !please ! thanks !?
9/11 has changed the way we live our lives, think, and so many other things. We can no longer assume we are safe and have freedom. We can no longer go on a plane without at least a slight worry. Some people assume any Middle eastern person is automatically a terrorist. There's so many more things Americans have to consider now everyday. Finally, it made us more together and united as a country as ever before.
