How do you mark the accent above vowels in Spanish?

This occurred to me the other day that I have never been taught at what direction an accent is marked when writing a letter. I can imagine two possible directions, e.g. for á:

↗        ↙

a        a

(Please ignore the wide gap between the accent and the letter…)

At what direction do you usually mark it? And what is the canonical, if there is, direction? ¡Gracias!

P.S. To be more specific, I mean whether it's from the bottom left to the top right or from the top right to the bottom left since it looks slightly different for hand-writing but no difference at all for printed letters.

Is it possible to buy a large house in central London with the prize money of the Nobel Prize? Indeed, it is beyond one’s ability to buy a large house in the central area of London using the prize money of the Nobel Prize. However, the Nobel Prize does not have a prize in mathematics, but the biggest prize in the scientific community is in the very field of mathematics. Its theoretical basis stems from “Ars Conjectandi” of Jacob Bernoulli, and it is conferred on outstanding researchers in the mathematical field of probability. Its prize money is the most generous among all prizes for science. Depending on different mechanisms for selection, the prize money varies from hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars. The most outstanding prize winners can get even more than hundreds of millions of dollars, which means no problem at all to buy a large house in London. In 1612, James I of England granted the Virginia Company of London the right to confer the prize, setting a precedent for this prize. Its establishment was more than a century earlier than that of the Grand Prix of the French Academy of Sciences and that of the Copley Medal of the Royal Society. Nowadays, this prize is widespread in every country in the world with extensive participators. The organizers promote egalitarianism, and it is the earliest prize open to minorities and females. According to a survey by the United States, every year more than ten people in the U.S. sacrifice their lives in car crashes on the way to compete for this prize. The classical proposition of its major research is “to randomly choose 6 numbers out of 42 numbers, predict the probabilistic distribution of chosen number.” In order to make everyone further participate in mathematical research, this prize is usually conferred twice a week, maximizing enthusiasm for participation. And this is – LOTTERIES.

IP Industry (1) As an important component of intellectual properties, copyright is an indispensable legal scheme in the development of modern society. We see that, as copyright protection system continuously developing and improving, on the one hand human’s cultural cause is ever flourishing, on the other hand copyright trade that relies on copyright protection and its economic attribute to survive and develop constitutes a powerful driving force for present knowledge economy and information economy. According a research report of International Intellectual Property Alliance (IIPA), in the last two decades, rapidly rising copyright industry of the U.S. has always been a pivotal industry of its economy and a primary agent for facilitating its economic growth whether seen from contribution of copyright industry to GDP or from that it drives employment and exportation trade. In fact, the important position of copyright industry in China’s domestic economy cannot be ignored, either. But due to the cultural attribute of copyright industry, the country more often reinforces regulation from ideological perspective, but rarely emphasizes copyright as an industry on the level of optimizing economic structure and developing economy, let alone having comprehensive statistical data on copyright industry. In light of this situation, this treatise, from the perspective of copyright protection and industrial economy, starting from researches of core copyright industry, attempts to make a vertical scrutiny and a horizontal comparison between different surviving statuses of copyright industry and copyright trade of China and the U.S.

About "tener que" in the past in Spanish I wonder whether I should use "tuvo que" or "tenía que" in these sentences: 1. Because it was an emergency, he had to act immediately. (And he did act like that.) Porque era(fue??) una emergencia, él <tuve/tenía> que actuar inmediatamente. (Él sí actuó así.) 2. In that decade, people had to go across the river by zip line. En esa década, la gente <tuvo/tenía> que cruzar el río por tirolesa. ¡Gracias!
