Since the Yearbook’s inception, state practice has always been reported and written up as country reports. While this format has served us well in the intervening years, we felt that it would make a lot more sense if we reported state practice thematically, rather than geographically. This way, readers will have an opportunity to zoom in on a particular topic of interest and get a quick overview of developments within the region. Of course, this reorganization cannot address our lack of coverage in some Asian states. We aim to improve on this in forthcoming volumes and thank the contributors to this section for their tireless and conscientious work. 202 Javaid Rehman and Sumaiya Khair - 9789004379756 Downloaded from Brill.com09/29/2021 12:40:01AM via free access State Practice 203 STATE PRACTICE RAPPORTEURS Arie Afriansyah [Indonesia] Lecturer, Faculty of Law, University of Indonesia Buhm Suk Baek [Korea] Associate Professor, College of International Studies, Kyung Hee University Tran Viet Dung [Viet Nam] Dean of International Law Faculty, Ho Chi Minh City University of Law Yuwen Fan [China] PhD Candidate, Peking University Ridwanul Hoque [Bangladesh] Professor, Faculty of Law, University

    BHARAT SCHOOL OF BANKING JUNE 17 CURRENT AFFAIRS Jupiter is both the largest and OLDEST planet in our solar system In the first-ever study to date Jupiter's age, researchers have discovered that the gas giant is 4.5 billion years old. NATIONAL ● By looking at the composition of iron meteorites, they found Jupiter's solid NEWS core was created around one million years after the solar system formed 4.6 billion years ago. ● The researchers hope the findings will provide key insights into how the solar system evolved in its current formation. ● While previous models predicted that Jupiter formed relatively early, the study, by an international team of researchers, led by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, is the first to date its formation. ● Dr Thomas Kruijer, who led the study, said: 'We do not have any samples from Jupiter (in contrast to other bodies like the Earth, Mars, the moon and asteroids). Israeli author David Grossman wins Man Booker Prize Israeli author David Grossman has won the Man Booker International Prize for his novel A Horse Walks Into a Bar. INTERNATIONAL ● The award was announced Wednesday in London. NEWS ● Grossman beat out five other finalists, including fellow Israeli author Amos Oz for the counterpart to Britain's prestigious Booker Prize. ● Grossman's novel is about a failing standup comic and his final performance. ● The award has a prize of 50,000 pounds ($64,000) that is split evenly between Grossman and translator Jessica Cohen. ● The prize was previously a career honor, but changed last year to recognize a single book in a bid to increase the profile of international fiction in English- speaking countries.
