"text": "HDMI Alt Mode for USB Type-C™ Connector Download the HDMI Alt Mode for USB Type-C Market and Technical Overview Presentation English China Taiwan Some documents on our website were published by HDMI Licensing, LLC, and those are now assigned to our new entity HDMI Licensing Administrator, Inc. The HDMI Alt Mode for USB Type-C connector will allow HDMI-enabled source devices to utilize a USB Type-C connector to directly connect to HDMI-enabled displays, and deliver native HDMI signals over a simple cable without the need for protocol and connector adapters or dongles. This enables two of the most popular solutions for connectivity to come together—the small form factor, reversible, and multi-purpose USB Type-C connector being adopted by smartphones, tablets and PC products, and the HDMI connector, which is the leading display interface with an installed base of billions of displays. Almost 290 million HDMI-enabled display devices are expected to ship in 2016, including projectors, monitors and 100 percent of flat panel TVs. HDMI Alt Mode will support the full range of HDMI 1.4b features such as: Resolutions up to 4KSurround sound Audio Return Channel (ARC)3D (4K and HD)HDMI Ethernet Channel (HEC)Consumer Electronic Control (CEC)Deep Color, x.v. Color, and content types High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP 1.4 and HDCP 2.2)It’s up to manufacturers to choose which HDMI features they support on their products with USB Type-C. FAQs Q: What is the cable called, is this an HDMI cable? A: Yes this is an HDMI cable, in this case a USB Type-C to HDMI cable. The cable maintains the current cable names including: Standard HDMI Cable, Standard HDMI Cable with Ethernet, High Speed HDMI Cable, and High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet. Q: When will cables be in the market, and will they be compliance tested? A: We are assuming that cables will appear in the market when the first of the new products launch. These cables are required to be compliance tested just like all HDMI cables."

"text": "April 17, 2014 by cnxsoft - 254 Comments Review of M8 Android Kitkat TV Box Powered by Amlogic S802 So CTweet A few days ago, I wrote an Unboxing and Specs post about the M8, an Android TV Box powered by Amlogic S802 quad core Cortex A9 processor. The review took a little as I was waiting for a new firmware. I’ve now upgraded this S802 Box, and been able to complete a review. As usual , I’ll start by giving my first impressions, have a look at the user interface and settings, test different king of video files, evaluate Wi-Fi performance, and try to cover most hardware features including Bluetooth, external storage, USB webcam, and so on. The overall user’s experience, is very similar to Tronsmart Vega S89, but there are some notable differences I’ll go through during the review. First Boot, Settings and First Impressions Shenzhen Tomato sent me a sample unit which they call TM8 (Tomato M8? ), but I’ll just refer to the device as M8 in the review. The device comes with a simple IR remote comes, but did not include two AAA batteries. I only use the remote shortly, as I prefer using an RF remote with Android, and I used Mele F10 air mouse during testing which includes a QWERTY keyboard, and a gyroscope to easily move the mouse pointer. Beside the IR remote, the sample I received only included a 5V/2A power supply, so i also had to take a spare HDMI cable."

"text": "\"Difference Between HDMI and Mini HDMIPosted on January 2, 2015 by admin HDMI vs Mini HDMIThe basic difference between HDMI and Mini HDMI, as the names suggest, is the size; however, there are also other differences, which are addressed in this article. HDMI and mini HDMI are two port sizes that come under the HDMI standard. HDMI is the large sized slot used on devices such as monitors, projectors and graphics cards while mini HDMI is the smaller version of HDMI that is found on small devices such as digital camera, camcorders, and DSLRs. The number of pins is the same despite the difference in sizes, but the order of what pins are assigned have been changed. Other details such as voltages, speeds, bit rates, and protocols remain the same in both interfaces. It is important to note that there is a further smaller interface size known as micro HDMI used for devices like phones and it is NOT the same as mini HDMI. What is HDMI? HDMI, which stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface, is an interface used to transmit multimedia. It can transmit both audio and video in digital format where the video stream is uncompressed and audio stream can be compressed or uncompressed. There are several types of HDMI ports that differ in size under names type A, type B, type C and type D. In general language, what HDMI refers is to the HDMI type A interface."

"text": "\"VGA vs. HDMI Capabilities VGA cables were designed to carry only video signals from a device to a display. At the time they were first released (1987), analog signals were the norm. When digital signals became more common, VGA cables were enhanced with converters to enable an analog-to-digital conversion. However, newer display devices used digital signals, too, so the process became a two-step conversion from digital to analog and back to digital, with concurrent degradation of the signal. The analog signal would lose some information in the conversion to digital, and more information is lost when converted back to digital. In addition analog signals carry less information than digital, so the original image such a scenario starts out as less \"\"sharp\"\" than what can be achieved in digital. The HDMI standard allows for the transfer of both digital video and audio signals via the same interface (port) and cable, capable of providing high-definition (HD) video at resolutions of 1,920 x 1,200 pixels and 8 audio channels simultaneously. Because it supports digital copy protection of all signals, HDMI cables are included for devices such as the Apple TV, Blu-Ray players, and game consoles, among other similar electronic products.

Unless the receiver was struct directly by lightning, I can't see how an outside surge would be caused by the HDMI line."

"text": "Description The TMDS261B is a two-port digital video interface (DVI) or high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) switch that allows up to two DVI or HDMI ports to be switched to a single display terminal. Four TMDS channels, one hot-plug detector, and a digital display control (DDC) interface are supported on each port. Each TMDS channel supports signaling rates up to 3 Gbps to allow 1080p resolution in 16-bit color depth. TMDS261B device is not intended for source side applications such as external switch boxes The TMDS261B provides an adaptive equalizer for different ranges of cable lengths. The equalizer automatically compensates for intersymbol interference [ISI] loss of an HDMI/DVI cable for up to 20 d B at 3 Gbps (see ). DLP is a trademark of Texas Instruments. Description When any of the input ports are selected, the integrated terminations (50-Ω termination resistors pulled up to VCC) are switched on for the TMDS clock channel, the TMDS clock-detection circuit is enabled, and the DDC repeater is enabled. After a valid TMDS clock is detected, the integrated termination resistors for the data lines are enabled, and the output TMDS lines are enabled. When an input port is not selected, the integrated terminations are switched off, the TMDS receivers are disabled, and the DDC repeater is disabled. Clock-detection circuitry provides an automatic power-management feature, because if no valid TMDS clock is detected, the terminations on the input TMDS data lines are disconnected and the TMDS outputs are placed in a high-impedance state."

By Martyn Casserly | 01 Mar 16There’s a question that has been around since the dawn of technology itself. When Steve Jobs of the neolithic period first chipped a stone into something vaguely round, you can bet that the first thing his hairy friends did was point at the new wonder and say in some Ug derivative of modern language ‘What does that do?’ This was then presumably followed by them painting ten reasons why it would fail, all over the nearest cave wall. The question itself though remains a good one, as technology changes so frequently it can be hard to keep up with the innovations that adorn our hardware. In order to bring light to this darkness then, we’ve prepared a guide to the various ports, and their purposes, that can be found on your Mac or i OS device.

Even with a great case, your screen can crack, break, and sometimes stop working just because it feels like it. In some cases, you can replace the screen, but that’s not always easy, and can worsen the problem if you aren’t careful. What if you just want to unlock your phone to transfer files or other data? Well if your touch screen is cracked, dead, or generally unresponsive; that’s not going to work. Depending on your settings, transferring files isn’t possible while your phone is locked, but what if you could unlock it without the touch screen? It takes some time, but it’s well worth it. Note: Many of these solutions require you to have an app already installed or debugging turned on prior to the screen not working. If you do not have this done already, you might not have success with some or all of these solutions. Time: 5 Minutes Method 1: Using your TV as a Second Screen with OTG and HDMIThis is the most expensive option on this list, but that’s only because all of the others ones are free."

"text": "16 Types of Computer Ports and Their Functions January 5, 2016 By Administrator 22 Comments A Computerr Port is an interface or a point of connection between the computer and its peripheral devices. Some of the common peripherals are mouse, keyboard, monitor or display unit, printer, speaker, flash drive etc. The main function of a computer port is to act as a point of attachment, where the cable from the peripheral can be plugged in and allows data to flow from and to the device. A computer port is also called as a Communication Port as it is responsible for communication between the computer and its peripheral device. Generally, the female end of the connector is referred to as a port and it usually sits on the motherboard. In Computers, communication ports can be divided into two types based on the type or protocol used for communication. They are Serial Ports and Parallel Ports. A serial port is an interface through which peripherals can be connected using a serial protocol which involves the transmission of data one bit at a time over a single communication line. The most common type of serial port is a D-Subminiature or a D-sub connector that carry RS-232 signals. A parallel port, on the other hand, is an interface through which the communication between a computer and its peripheral device is in a parallel manner i.e. data is transferred in or out in parallel using more than one communication line or wire."

On a PC, some IRQs are predefined, so the Keyboard controller is always given an IRQ of 1, for example. IRQs 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, and 12 are usually left available for add-on devices. In modern computers, IRQs are usually assigned dynamically and it is rare to see an IRQ conflict. If two devices on the computer do have the same IRQ number assigned to them, the IRQ conflict will cause one or both of them to fail.

Originally referred to as the PC/AT-bus it was also termed I/O Channel by IBM. The ISA concept was coined by competing PC-clone manufacturers in the late 1980s or early 1990s as a reaction to IBM attempts to replace the AT-bus with its new and incompatible Micro Channel architecture. The 16-bit ISA bus was also used with 32-bit processors for several years.

Input devices allow the computer to gather information, and output devices can display information. Output devices also allow the computer to manipulate its environment. The tight-coupling between the computer and external world distinguishes an embedded system from a regular computer system. The challenge is under most situations the software executes much faster than the hardware. E.g., it might take the software only 1 us to ask the hardware to clear the LCD, but the hardware might take 1 ms to complete the command. During this time, the software could execute tens of thousands of instructions. Therefore, the synchronization between the executing software and its external environment is critical for the success of an embedded system. This chapter presents general concepts about interrupts, and specific details for the Cortex™-M microcontroller. We will then use periodic interrupts to cause a software task to be executed on a periodic basis."

It really sucks to be playing a game (and happens on desktop as well) for the mouse to just die out for a few seconds and come back. Sometimes it will not happen for days and other times it will do it two or more times within 15 seconds. I tried two different wired mice, tried multiple USB ports (on the front of the computer, back of the computer, used a USB hub and plugged in a card that connects to the USB connectors on the motherboard and adds a few USB ports to the back of the computer, and I also bought a USB 2.0 PCI card and that did not help). Nothing else seems to reconnect like this, my USB keyboard has never once cut out like the mouse does and neither have any of the other devices I have connected (webcam, USB hub, various devices sometimes connected through USB cables, and IR receiver for windows Media Center remote). I have disconnected all USB devices except for my keyboard and mouse and the problem still occurs. I guess it could be something wrong with my motherboard but since no other devices behave similarly I'm just hoping that it is some kind of driver conflict. Installing Logitech's drivers has had no effect. It seemed at first that if I go to Device Manager and uninstall HID-compliant mouse (that and Logitech mx518 are listed) that would fix it, but it doesn't seem to work anymore or at least not every time (it keeps re-installing)."

That clears the current assignments of IRQs and such. Unless you have a hardware conflict, no If you do set it to yes then it will clear it on next boot and change itself back to no.

What is different about the old KDB vs the merged KDB? In April 2009 KDB 4.4 (found at: ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/kdb/download/v4.4/) had significant chunks of the code base removed and hooked it up to the same debug core and polled I/O drivers used by kgdb. At a really high level, the only difference is how you configure and connect. The kdb disassembler was the main causality of the merger. Architecturally the merged kdb is 99% platform independent and actually gained new features via the debug core API. Here is a list of the key differences between the out of tree KDB 4.4 and the new merged kdb & kgdb. The kdb command shell differences There are fewer commands in the merged kdb & kgdb. The kdump / kexec analysis modules tools were removed in the process of merging the code bases. The status command emits a bit less information in that you no longer get the exact output you would from cat /proc/meminfo The bt command does uses the kernel's backtracer and not a disassembly engine which shows you function arguments In the merged kdb & kgdb, presently there is no disassembler (known as the \"\"id\"\" command)In the merged kdb & kgdb, when using a non-vga style connection you can transition into kgdb mode and attach gdb, by using the kgdb command."

"text": "\"BIOS – What motherboard BIOS does for a PCAll motherboards include a small block of Read Only Memory (ROM) which is separate from the main system memory used for loading and running software. The BIOS will most likely be stored in a 32-pin chip, which can typically be identified by a silver or gold sticker that shows the name of the BIOS company – such as AMIBIOS, AWARD or Phoenix – and a code that indicates the version of code it contains. If its rectangular in shape, it’s what is known as a DIP (Dual In-line Package) chip. Older motherboards may have 28-pin DIP BIOS chips. If your BIOS chip is square with connections on all four sides, it is in a PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) package. A locating notch indicates the orientation of pin 1. The ROM contains the PC’s Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). This offers two advantages: the code and data in the ROM BIOS need not be reloaded each time the computer is started, and they cannot be corrupted by wayward applications that write into the wrong part of memory. If you have a DIP or PLCC chip that’s actually soldered to your motherboard, you’ll not be able to upgrade it by replacing the ROM. Modern-day BIOSes are flash upgradeable, meaning they may be updated via a floppy disk or, sometimes, through Windows, to ensure future compatibility with new chips, add-on cards and so on."

"text": "\"<-- prev | next -->Writing Network Device Drivers for Linux By Mohan Lal Jangir Introduction This article has been written for kernel newcomers interested in learning about network device drivers. It assumes that reader has a significant exposure to C and the Linux environment. This article is based on a network driver for the Real Tek 8139 network card. I chose the Real Tek chip for two reasons: First, Real Tek provides technical specifications for its chips free of cost. ( Thanks, Real Tek!) Second; it's quite cheap. It is possible to get the chip under Rs 300 (approximately US$7) in Indian markets. The driver presented in this article is minimal; it simply sends and receives packets and maintains some statistics. For a full-fledged and professional-grade driver, please refer to the Linux source. Preparing for Driver Development Before starting driver development, we need to set up our system for it."

This page deals specifically with running these games in DOSBox, and is applicable to all of them. Note Prospective players of DOS Elder Scrolls games may wish to try the UESP DOSBox helper, as it significantly simplifies the installation and playing of DOS games in Windows and also addresses many pitfalls not currently covered in this guide. Pre-configured packages of Arena and Daggerfall are also available; these unofficial packages are Windows executables that will install a copy of a game quickly onto a modern Windows system using a pre-configured DOSBox. They have the latest respective patches and provide the option to install a number of unofficial bug fixes, quests and translations. It should be noted however, that these copies of the games provided are NOT identical to the free versions Bethesda posted on the Elder Scrolls Website prior to late 2010. These are original CD versions. The version of Arena from Bethesda's website is the 3.5\"\" floppy disk versions. Free Versions Free Version and free release refer respectively to the free licensed versions of Arena and Daggerfall that are available directly from Bethedsa's official Elder Scrolls website. Assumptions and General Knowledge [ edit]As everyone's computer is different, this guide must make certain assumptions which may not hold true for you."

"text": "\" [ The PC Guide | Troubleshooting and Repair Guide | Diagnostic, Troubleshooting and Repair Tools ]Diagnostic Software The use of diagnostic software tools can save you a great deal of time. While in my experience these tools do not usually identify what the cause of a system problem is, they often provide hints or at least valuable information about what is in the system and how it is working. Some of these are free or are included with common operating systems at no additional charge, while others are commercial products that range from affordable to rather pricey. Here are some common software diagnostic tools that you will want to consider including as part of your troubleshooting arsenal: Power-On Self Test (POST): I am cheating a bit here because this isn't a separate diagnostic utility; it is in fact built into your system BIOS and it runs every time you start up your PC automatically. It is often the best indicator of system problems; make sure you pay attention to its audio and video messages. Don't disable its error-reporting functions unless you really need to. MEM. EXE: This simple utility, built into recent versions of DOS and also Windows 95, provides you with details about your memory configuration, as well as what is currently using your memory. It is especially useful when run with the \"\"/C\"\" parameter (use the \"\"/P\"\" parameter as well to make the output pause when it is scrolling). Microsoft Diagnostics: Better known as \"\"MSD."

For example, installing an internal modem configured for COM2, IRQ3 into a computer which also has a physically-installed COM port will result in a conflict. Some terminal-oriented programs such as Pro Comm, Windows Terminal, and faxing programs may not appear to have hardware conflicts. However, pc ANYWHERE is a full-featured remote control program and is more sensitive to hardware conflicts. pc ANYWHERE's full usage of communications hardware is more susceptible to adverse effects. IRQ and other hardware conflicts can manifest in many different ways. Here are a few examples: Modem not recognized or initialized. Slow connections or loss of connection.

"text": "\"Home Buying Guides Consumer Electronics Gadgets & Other Electronics What Is a DIP Switch on a Garage Door Opener?am-squir 254 Views Like Share December 18, 2015Ever wondered how a garage door opener works? For instance, how do openers communicate with only a single door so that their signals do not inadvertently open all the garage doors on a house and the houses around it? The easy answer to this question is that garage door openers, like many other electrical devices, use DIP switches. But what is a DIP switch? Here's a closer look at this common electrical element. What Are DIP Switches? DIP switches are manual electric switches and stand for Dual In-line Package. They are made to be used with other electronic components or on a printed circuit board and allow the user to choose how an electronic device operates in certain situations. They have been used in countless applications over the years ranging from computers to garage door openers such as the Genie 20285r and the Genie 25648r. DIP Switches Versus Jumper Blocks Those who are familiar with electrical systems may find themselves thinking of jumper blocks when they hear about DIP switches."

I decided to load up Borderlands to give it another go. I have not played it since I upgraded my motherboard and GPU (see current specs below). I have a Sidewinder X8, and it works pretty well for all of my games, but in borderlands, as soon as I touch the mouse (even in the main menu) the FPS drops from 60 to about 2-15. I thought perhaps it was my mouse drivers, so I plugged in my Apple mouse... voila! The problem went away! However, as you all may know, playing a shooter with an Apple mouse is quite daft, indeed, as I can't simultaneously use the right and left mouse buttons... I figured that if my microsoft mouse was at fault, then I'd plug in my Logitech G5 and lo and behold... the problem resurfaced."

"text": "\"Tip, ring, sleeve (TRS) connectors are electrical plugs and sockets that have three distinct contacts that are capable of conducting analog signals. These three conductive elements consist of the tip of the plug, a ring around the center of the plug, and the outer sleeve at the base. A number of connectors have used this same basic structure, though there are only three sizes that are commonly used. The TRS connector is the most common variant that uses this type of plug, though tip, sleeve (TS) and tip, ring, ring, sleeve (TRRS) versions also exist. Headphone cables that are designed to carry analog audio signals represent one of the most popular uses for the TRS connector, though these plugs have other uses as well. The first TRS connectors were developed for use in early telephone switch boards, where they could be easily plugged and unplugged to route calls. For that reason, these connectors are sometimes referred to as phone plugs. Since these connectors make use of three electrical contacts, located on the tip, ring, and sleeve of the plug, the initialism, \"\"TRS,\"\" was also coined to describe them. Modern TRS connectors come in three basic sizes, each of which has a variety of uses. The largest commonly used TRS connector has a diameter of 0.25 inches (6.35 mm), and the smallest has a diameter of about 0.1 inches (2.5 mm)."

For L to Z see the Resources menu at right. For terms used in the political, health and similar areas, see: E-Cigarette Terminology. Note: the term EV (electric/electronic vaporiser) is used extensively within these materials as it is more accurate than the term 'electronic cigarette' or 'e-cigarette', which are marketing terms that inaccurately associate vaporisers with cigarettes. We have decided to use a combination international English / US English spelling: 'vaporiser', because it is unique. ' Vapouriser' is the correct international English spelling, 'vaporizer' the correct US spelling, and so 'vaporiser' is a word unlikely to be used for anything else.actuator : or, contactor button: the on/off button on a mechmod (an all-mechanical EV with no wiring). Actuator is a more accurate term than 'switch', because these APVs have no wiring and therefore no switch, in the generally accepted sense that a switch is a wired-in electrical device. Actuators are a simple contactor that commonly uses a spring-loaded pin or lever or other contact-making method; they are frequently fitted in the negative line (unlike most electrical switches) since it is mechanically easier on some designs, especially tubemods. Several types of actuators are in use. In rough order of invention/use, they are: - a sliding top end section depressed by the thumb or mouth, as used on early copper tubemods using water pipe; - a bottom end button, in use continuously on tubemods since the earliest commercial devices (e.g. the Screwdriver); - a boxmod top button (e.g. Reo); - a bottom end side actuator button (e.g. XHaler); - a top end side actuator button in a separate switching section, often with opposing magnets providing the pushback (e.g. Poldiac).adapter : a connector that allows a head with a given thread connector system to fit on to a body (battery holder) with a different connector; or to create extra length in the head system."

Electrical plugs and sockets differ in voltage and current rating, shape, size and type of connectors. The types used in each country are set by national standards, some of which are listed in the IEC technical report TR 60083, Plugs and socket-outlets for domestic and similar general use standardized in member countries of IEC. [ 1] The scope of IEC TR 60083 states: \"\"The report only contains systems for which standard sheets have been published in a National Standard, which may be a National Standard of the country itself or any other IEC member country\"\". Plugs and sockets for portable appliances started becoming available in the 1880s, to replace connections to light sockets with easier to use wall-mounted outlets. A proliferation of types developed to address the issues of convenience and protection from electric shock. Today there are approximately 20 types in common use around the world, and many obsolete socket types are still found in older buildings. Co-ordination of technical standards has allowed some types of plugs to be used over wide regions to facilitate trade in electrical appliances, and for the convenience of travellers and consumers of imported electrical goods."

My article titled Are You Talking to Me? encourages tech types to exercise restraint in using “shoptalk” when they are communicating in particular with church staff who may be completely unfamiliar with those terms. It occurs to me that this might be a good time to share some of the more common abbreviations and acronyms. So let's try a handful. A Mo M is a Minister of Music. FOH means Front of House which, depending on the conversation, refers to either the main loudspeaker system covering the congregation, or the location of the mixing desk where that portion of the sound system is controlled from. You may find that the terms FOH, Sound Booth and Production Booth are used interchangeably. LAR stands for “ Looks About Right ”, an abbreviation that I created circa 1989 to identify the wholly inadequate (or just plain lazy) approach to designing a loudspeaker system without taking the steps and time necessary to do a proper design. Rather than building a computer model to prove out the choice of loudspeakers and their exact location and aiming angles, the novice designer eyeballs the situation and figures that putting a loudspeaker “about there” and aiming it “over here” should be adequate."

To connect all of your gear together, you'll need to use some of the many varieties of patch cables. Of these, the TRS cable is the ones you'll probably see the most. What makes TRS cables different from other patch cables? In short, the answer is that they carry stereo signals. TRS stands for \"\"tip, ring, sleeve\"\"—in this connection, the tip transmits the left channel, the ring transmits the right channel and the sleeve is shared by both. Their stereo sound support makes TRS cables a great solution for DJs and musicians, as well as music lovers wanting to connect their computer or mobile device to a stereo system. In the recording studio, you'll use TRS cables to connect much of your equipment together. You might, for example, run a TRS cable from a stereo effects unit to your mixing desk while another one hooks up your powered studio monitors."

"text": "By Mike Rivers The significance of balanced and unbalanced connections between audio devices, as well as the meaning of the terms, is often misunderstood. A balanced output can be designed, constructed, and connected in many ways, and there are several ways in which balanced and unbalanced devices can be interconnected. Balanced connections have a long history that dates back to the early days of telephony. The phone company runs thousands of miles of unshielded cable between sources and destinations, with very little hum or noise added to our conversations. Yet sometimes it seems we can’t manage to connect two devices in the same rack in our studio without something humming, even if we use hundred-dollar boutique cables. By understanding the right and wrong ways of interconnecting audio devices, you can clean up your studio or sound system. Myths, Half Truths, and Misconceptions Thanks largely to the Internet, old stories die hard. To begin our study of making connections, let’s clear up a few misconceptions that have some basis in fact. Unbalanced inputs and outputs are high impedance. Nope."

"text": "Home Sound Advice Q. Is there a better balanced-to-unbalanced cabling solution? Hardware > Cables / Connectors Recording Published May 2013 By Hugh Robjohns The line inputs on my computer interface are all balanced on TRS sockets, but the outputs of my hardware synths are all unbalanced on mono TS sockets. I've been connecting them with ordinary unbalanced guitar leads up until now, but some of them suffer from what I think is ground-loop hum, and I wondered if there was a better way? I thought about using DI boxes, but I don't have enough mic-level inputs. Peter Bradley, via email SOS Technical Editor Hugh Robjohns replies: DI boxes would certainly cure the ground-loop hum problem, because they generally employ a transformer to balance the signal, with a ground-lift switch to isolate the grounds between the synth and interface. However, it seems a bit silly taking a line-level signal from a synth and knocking it down to mic level, only to re-amplify it again inside the interface, and as you don't have enough mic inputs we can discount that option anyway! A better option would be to use line-level transformer isolation boxes. These use a transformer again to balance the signal and isolate the source and destination grounds but, like DI boxes, the good ones are quite expensive. Unless you're handy with a soldering iron — and have a lot of patience! — SOS's custom-made pseudo-balanced cables could be the best solution for connecting unbalanced equipment to balanced inputs."

"text": "How To ›Car Tech What's the Difference Between USB and Aux? Aux Inputs Vs. USB Connections Share Pin Email Print Your car or home stereo has both a USB and AUX input, but what's the difference, and which should you use?. Marin Tomas / Moment / Gettyby Jeremy Laukkonen Updated January 28, 2018Phones and portable music players typically have both USB and auxiliary outputs, in the form of headphone jacks, and both can be used to pipe music into your car or home stereo. They're both equally convenient, since you can plug and unplug both types of connections pretty much at will, but they're actually pretty different in terms of how they work. What's the Difference Between USB and Auxiliary Cables? The main difference between a USB connection and an auxiliary input (aux) is that one sends unprocessed digital data to the head unit, and the other one sends a processed, analog audio signal. It may be easier to think of it as the USB cable transferring data like you would to a computer, and the aux cable transferring an audio signal like you would to your earbuds. Although there are benefits to both USB and aux connections, you will almost always get better sound quality out of a USB connection. While an auxiliary jack on your car radio will usually provide more utility, in that you can use it with a wider range of devices, the fact is that your head unit is almost certainly better at turning digital files into analog audio than your tiny smartphone or MP3 player."

Is balanced better than unbalanced? Why should I use balanced? How will balanced audio affect my system? What differences in sound quality can I expect to hear when using balanced? If balanced is so good, why isn’t everyone using it? … and the list goes on. What follows is some insight into balanced vs. unbalanced audio in an attempt to answer these questions, ease the confusion, and explain how it is applicable today – particularly as high definition music gains popularity. Unbalanced Audio Basics Unbalanced audio is what you will be most familiar with; you use it whenever you connect a DVD player through the RCA jacks on your TV, hook some speakers to your computer sound card, or plug headphones into your i Pod. An unbalanced audio cable requires two wires, one wire for the signal and another for ground."

"text": "By Mike Rivers The significance of balanced and unbalanced connections between audio devices, as well as the meaning of the terms, is often misunderstood. A balanced output can be designed, constructed, and connected in many ways, and there are several ways in which balanced and unbalanced devices can be interconnected. Balanced connections have a long history that dates back to the early days of telephony. The phone company runs thousands of miles of unshielded cable between sources and destinations, with very little hum or noise added to our conversations. Yet sometimes it seems we can’t manage to connect two devices in the same rack in our studio without something humming, even if we use hundred-dollar boutique cables. By understanding the right and wrong ways of interconnecting audio devices, you can clean up your studio or sound system. Myths, Half Truths, and Misconceptions Thanks largely to the Internet, old stories die hard. To begin our study of making connections, let’s clear up a few misconceptions that have some basis in fact. Unbalanced inputs and outputs are high impedance. Nope."

"text": "How to Unclog Floor Drains Cleaning floor and basement drains Sioux Chief Floor Drain © (PD)Clogged floor and basement drains pose special problems. Access to the pipes from below is restricted. Basement drains and any drain that may flow either directly into the ground or to storm drain runoff should always have backflow prevention devices installed. Backflow prevention devices work by plugging up the drain if water starts to flow the wrong way, thus preventing water backing up and flooding your basement. Most floor drains however will be connected to pipes carrying wastewater and sewage away from the house. When this is the case, the drain will have a trap somewhere nearby along the line. In sinks, showers and tubs the trap is just underneath, but floor drains may flow horizontally some distance before meeting the gas trap. Floor drain traps are U-shaped, with pipes flowing to and from the drain meeting the U on the sides. The U itself is capped on both ends with threaded plugs, which can be removed to provide access to the pipes surrounding the trap. Floor drain traps often have only these end-caps exposed, with the pipes running below the floor."

I spent some time working with the folks at National Semiconductor learning this, so I have several primary sources. Disclaimer: my knowledge of the field is from ca 2010.1) Lots of deep discharge cycles do negatively affect battery life. Try not to jump between 0% and 100% too much.2) Li-ion batteries do not love being at 100% SOC (state of charge). As batteries become more dense, the membranes become thinner. High SOC equates to high chemical potential, which will break down membranes faster. As such, avoid leaving your battery at 100%. This wasn't as much of a problem with older batteries with thicker membranes, but is becoming more and more an issue as we try to squeeze every ounce of density out of batteries.3) Roughly 70% SOC is where a battery is happiest, but the whole range of ~30-80% is pretty happy for a li ion cell. Try to keep your battery at ~70% or so overnight, at 50% or so for long sleeps. A good usage pattern: plug in and let charge to 90%, unplug and use for a couple of hours, plug back in at 50% or so, rinse and repeat."

"text": "\"Android12000Which tethering method is better: Wi Fi, Bluetooth, or USB cable?by Joe Levi March 21, 2014 7:28 am 57Contents Full Article Comments Advertisement Tethering is one of those things that many of us got really excited about way back in the early days of cell phones. Here we had a little phone that we could connect to our laptop which would let us access the Internet or closed network (the office, university, etc.) without having to plug into a land-line to do so. Speeds weren’t all that great, but being able to work from anywhere often trumped that. Today we have our choice of various high-speed technologies offered by any one of a handful of cellular carriers. We also have numerous ways to connect our laptops to our phones — and we have many more devices than just laptops that need connecting. That begs the question: which is best out of all the tethering methods? USB Cable If the device you’re connecting is able to connect to your smartphone or tablet (whichever device has the data plan that you’re using to tether through), that’s probably the best option. Tethering consumes energy by expending power through the antenna to communicate with the carrier. When you connect via USB the device (we’ll call it a laptop, for the sake of simplicity) gets power via the USB cable."

Dedicated personal hotspots like this are not as popular these days since the i Phone and Android device can quickly become a hotspot with no extra charge on Verizon Share Everything plans, but the Verizon Ellipsis Jetpack is worth considering for some users especially at $19.99 on a two-year contract and just $20 a month on a Share Everything Plan. The Verizon Ellipsis Jetpack is a very capable personal hotspot that is also affordable. During CES 2014 in Las Vegas and the 014 North American International Auto Show in Detroit I carried the Verizon Ellipsis Jetpack even though my i Phone 5s and Nexus 5 can act as personal hotspot. There are two main reasons I chose to use the Verizon Ellipsis Jetpack over my smartphones or my i Pad as a personal hotspot. The first reason is that using a phone as a personal hotspot drains battery life very quickly and when I am working at a trade show battery life is incredibly important. Even if I can plug my phone into a computer while using it as a hotspot I’m going to end up draining that battery faster. A dedicated device lets me keep my other devices charged and ready to use. The Ellipsis is small and easy to put in a pocket or bag. The second big reason is that a personal hotspot like the Verizon Ellipsis Jetpack can go with anyone I need to keep connected to the Internet."

Upstream and downstream connectors are not mechanically interchangeable, thus eliminating illegal loopback connections at hubs such as a downstream port connected to a downstream port. There are commonly two types of connectors, called type A and type B which are shown below. Type A USB Connector Type B USB Connector Type A plugs always face upstream. Type A sockets will typically find themselves on hosts and hubs. For example type A sockets are common on computer main boards and hubs. Type B plugs are always connected downstream and consequently type B sockets are found on devices. It is interesting to find type A to type A cables wired straight through and an array of USB gender changers in some computer stores. This is in contradiction of the USB specification. The only type A plug to type A plug devices are bridges which are used to connect two computers together."

A Jackson-Pratt (JP) drain is used to remove fluids that build up in an area of your body after surgery. The JP drain is a bulb-shaped device connected to a tube. One end of the tube is placed inside you during surgery. The other end comes out through a small cut in your skin. The bulb is connected to this end. You may have a stitch to hold the tube in place. The JP drain removes fluids by creating suction in the tube. The bulb is squeezed flat and connected to the tube that sticks out of your body. The bulb expands as it fills with fluid."

According to a November 1, 2007, article posted on the WSOC TV Web site, a water heater landed 70 feet from a Kannapolis, North Carolina, home and did an estimated $20,000 worth of damage when it exploded. According to the report, the heater lacked a TPR valve altogether. High limit controls Water heaters have thermostatically controlled devices that keep them from overheating. Both gas and electric water heaters have temperature-limiting devices that shut off the energy source when their regular thermostat fails. Electric heaters have a high-limit switch that interrupts the power when overheating occurs. Many of us have seen and perhaps reset the device by pushing a small red button under the cover plate and just above the thermostat dial. Thermostatically controlled gas valves found on most residential gas water heaters have a safety shutoff built into the gas valve itself. When they react to excessive temperature, the gas flow to the burner is stopped."

If I plug it into a wall socket it takes about 3-5 minutes (it shows the red battery with power symbol below) to turn back on, but if I plug it into my laptop it understandably takes longer. Occasionally once it has finally powered back up the battery percent will be more than 1%. Why hasn't it turned on ASAP?

It just had enough power to function fully, and now I've given it all the power from my socket, how can those few seconds make such a difference? More importantly is there anyway to try and force the device to come back on quicker?

Are you facing any issue while waking the computer from sleep mode? You can adjust how long your computer waits before sleeping or hibernating—or prevent it from turning itself off altogether. But be careful. On a battery powered laptop, inhibiting sleep or hibernation can result in data loss if the battery dies. Here's how to prevent your computer from entering a power-saving state:a. Press Windows key + X. b. Click Control Panel. c. Clicking System and Security, and then clicking Power Options."

"text": "Verizon Ellipsis Jetpack Review: Affordable Personal Hotspot By Josh Smith Posted on 01/24/2014The Verizon Ellipsis Jetpack is a small portable hotspot that connects to the fast Verizon 4G LTE network to connect up to eight Wi Fi devices to the Internet anywhere you have a Verizon signal. Dedicated personal hotspots like this are not as popular these days since the i Phone and Android device can quickly become a hotspot with no extra charge on Verizon Share Everything plans, but the Verizon Ellipsis Jetpack is worth considering for some users especially at $19.99 on a two-year contract and just $20 a month on a Share Everything Plan. The Verizon Ellipsis Jetpack is a very capable personal hotspot that is also affordable. During CES 2014 in Las Vegas and the 014 North American International Auto Show in Detroit I carried the Verizon Ellipsis Jetpack even though my i Phone 5s and Nexus 5 can act as personal hotspot. There are two main reasons I chose to use the Verizon Ellipsis Jetpack over my smartphones or my i Pad as a personal hotspot. The first reason is that using a phone as a personal hotspot drains battery life very quickly and when I am working at a trade show battery life is incredibly important. Even if I can plug my phone into a computer while using it as a hotspot I’m going to end up draining that battery faster. A dedicated device lets me keep my other devices charged and ready to use. The Ellipsis is small and easy to put in a pocket or bag. The second big reason is that a personal hotspot like the Verizon Ellipsis Jetpack can go with anyone I need to keep connected to the Internet."

Modern computers make use of USB ports to connect to a wide range of devices and peripherals. Peripherals include your keyboard, mouse, speakers and USB drives. These USB ports make life much simpler for people who use a lot of different types of electronic devices and also want to connect them to their computers. However, it is easy to run out of USB ports on your computer. Rather than taking one device out to plug another device in, consider looking for a USB hub. The USB Hub USB hubs do for your computer what power cords do for your wall outlet. They have at least two or more USB ports, and one USB connector. The hubs connect to your computer through its USB port and automatically increase the number of devices that can be plugged into the computer at a single time."

USB On-The-Go (Amazon link), or USB OTG, is essentially a female USB port that plugs into the Micro-USB port of a phone or tablet, allowing you to connect devices that use a standard USB 2.0 or 3.0 connection. In a nutshell, the adapter allows the Android device to be a \"\"USB host,\"\" powering and communicating with the connected device. Compatibility So far, it's been difficult to figure out which Android devices are compatible with the USB OTG cable. It's clear, however, that the Samsung family of Android phones and tablets are the most USB-friendly of them all, allowing users to connect the greatest variety of USB devices. Even though USB host mode is technically available in devices running Android 3.1 and above, the hardware manufacturers (OEMs) must enable the feature. And, even then, the OEM might limit the types of USB devices the Android phone or tablet supports. With the help of this crowdsourced chart, and some of our own testing, we found that the following devices are compatible with USB OTG: Josh Miller/CNETSamsung Galaxy S II (S2)Samsung Galaxy S III (S3)Galaxy Nexus*Nexus 7*Droid RAZRSamsung Galaxy Tab Acer Iconia Tab A200Acer Iconia Tab A500Archos G9Notion Ink Adam Motorola Xoom Toshiba Excite 10Sony Tablet SSo, it's clear that many Android phones lack support for USB host mode. It's possible that OEMs will include the feature in future software updates, but until then, those who want to hook up USB accessories to their unsupported Android devices will have to root. *"

"text": "13 Best Home Remedies for Plugged Ears May 15, 2014 By Sara 3 Comments Human body has marvelous systems to operate every organ unless something really interferes with the organ or the other body parts connected to it. Take, for example, ears, that may sometimes get blocked- the condition known as plugged ears. Ear has three parts- outer, middle and inner ear. Our middle ear is connected to the back of our nose through Eustachian tubes. These tubes drain out fluid from ears as well as equalize the pressure between the middle and the outer ear to keep our hearing organs intact for proper functioning. The problem occurs when these tubes get blocked. This may happen due to trapped fluid because of sinus infection or allergies, rapid changes in pressure because of altitude like when you travel in airplane or drive up a steep mountain or even while scuba diving. Sometimes excessive ear wax build up can also lead to plugged ears. Every cause for your clogged ear requires different remedies. If it is an infection which has plugged your ears, you’ll need to treat that."

In addition, it has built-in media-streaming technology that enables a wide variety of online entertainment options. You can also turn your existing TV into a Smart TV by hooking it up to a separate device that can stream media and is connected to the Internet. Smart TVs are great for families, because anyone and everyone can watch movies through online media services, listen to music, play online games or access applications (apps) — all from the comfort of your living room. You can find apps for social media sites, travel, shopping, budgeting, fitness and much more. Smart TVs also come with PVR functionality, allowing you to schedule and record shows without using a separate device. And most models will let you plug in your smartphone to share pictures and videos on the big screen. Budget Friendly Options: Making Your TV Smart The most cost-effective way to bring Smart TV to your home is to convert your current TV. If you have a newer flat screen model in the house, you should be able to turn it into a Smart TV. All you’ll need is another device in the house that has an operating system (OS) and Internet access."

One notable technological development is the introduction of internet-capable TVs. To connect the Internet to a TV, owners need to have an Internet-ready TV, Internet access, an Ethernet or wireless connection, and a remote device that can initialize the Internet menus on the televisions. A number of other devices and services are valuable to enhance a user's experience, but these items are not mandatory for operating an Internet-ready TV. Buyers can find the tools they need to access the Internet through their TVs at local big-box stores, mass retail and department stores, and electronic shops. For buyers that favor the convenience and variety of online shopping, e Bay is a great option that carries Internet-ready TVs and accessories from a wide range of manufacturers. Connecting a TV Directly to the Internet A distinction must be made when discussing connecting a TV directly to the Internet versus connecting a computer or laptop to a TV. Direct Internet access supplies users with more options that are uniquely tailored to the TV-viewing experience. In contrast, a computer or laptop can be connected to a TV, which turns the television into a type of projector. Doing this provides users with limited functions and might compromise the integrity of the TV's picture resolution."

Having sold more than 3 million units according to one study, Echo holds a central place in many smart homes. However, the credit goes to Alexa, Echo’s persona. Without her, Echo is just a glorified speaker. But did you know that you can now enjoy Alexa’s voice features even without an Echo device? It’s possible, and you can do so using any of the following five devices. Triby Triby is the first third-party device to have Alexa Voice Service. It is a kitchen companion that looks and functions like an old-style radio, only adjusted to the way we listen to music today much like Spotify. But it isn’t just another speaker; it can also be used to make calls via Vo IP or as a speakerphone for your smartphone. It features a 2.5″ e-paper screen that you can doodle on using the Triby app."

But thanks to the explosion of online streaming content services like Hulu and Netflix, more and more people are saying sayonara to their cable bill. As I learned when I tried to cut the cord myself, the big advantage to paying for cable doesn't have anything to do with paying less or accessing only the shows you want to watch. It's about convenience. With cable, you turn your TV on and all the shows you know and love are a button press away — right there on your big screen. ( See also: 8 Alternatives to Cable TV That Will Keep You Entertained)Once you move into the world of online streaming, people start to get a little worried. The question I've heard most often is: Will I have to watch on my computer screen? What do I need to watch on my TV? Is it going to be complicated? And I'm here to tell you that no — when it comes to services like Hulu and Netfix, there are so many options that you'll inevitably find one that works with your current setup so you can enjoy your shows where they're meant to be seen: on your TV."

The app, Smart Remote, requires a little bit of setup but is ultimately very useful in reducing the number of controllers you need to keep around in your living room, not to mention keeping track of what’s on at any given time. First, find the Smart Remote icon on your device and tap it The initial set-up process involves identifying your location and service provider. Select your country, then punch in your ZIP or postal code when prompted. Tap the service provider listed depending on your area Next, you set up your devices. Tap the brand of your TV, or tap Show other brands at the bottom to find yours if it’s not listed. You’ll then be taken through a scanning process where the app will try blasting different signals to turn on your TV. Make sure the top of your Samsung Galaxy S5 is pointed towards the TV and that the front of your TV is unobstructed. You’ll also need to go through a similar process to figure out which signal changes inputs on your TV. The first one on the list worked for me, so be sure to bounce between it at the second a few times before dismissing Input 1 out of hand."

It packs most of the same features as our previous pick, the Wemo Insight, into a smaller form factor, and it’s less expensive. It also plays nicely with both i OS and Android smartphones and tablets and integrates easily with popular smart-home protocols and devices. All you need to do is plug the Belkin Wemo Mini into an existing outlet and install the app to get started with home automation. Our pick Belkin Wemo Mini The best smart switch The Wemo Mini is a strong performer that’s easy to use. More compact than its predecessor, it works with both Android and i OS devices, and supports Amazon Alexa, Apple Home Kit (via Bridge), Google Home, and IFTTT.$35 from Walmart$30 from Amazon All of the smart plug-in switches we tested performed well, turning anything that’s plugged into them on or off remotely via smartphone or tablet. However, the Belkin Wemo Mini’s compact design, price, and set of smart-home features set it apart from the competition. The Wemo Mini supports IFTTT (“if this then that”), so you can create home-automation “recipes” to use it along with other smart devices in your home. The switch even works with Amazon Alexa, Apple Home Kit (via the Wemo Bridge ), and Google Home, allowing you to turn on a lamp, fan, or other electronic device with the sound of your voice. Runner-upi Home i SP8A smart switch for smart-home enthusiasts The i SP8 adds energy monitoring and extra smart-home integration, including support for Apple Home Kit, Smart Things, Wink, and more.$50 from Amazon If our main pick is unavailable, the i Home i SP8 is a solid choice."

"text": "More and more people are using their big, flat-panel TVs to watch Internet video, view photos, play music and casual games, and access apps, social media and Web sites. The trouble is, this is primarily being done via plugged-in PCs, or add-on boxes like Apple TV, Microsoft’s Xbox and Roku players. They use separate remotes and are accessed via separate inputs on the TV. Lots of people have been counting on Apple to unify standard TV with these apps and Internet content in a simple, elegant device. The company is working on it, but the major TV makers aren’t waiting. They are offering Internet-connected “smart TVs.” Their pitch is that you can switch between, or even combine on one screen, regular TV and Internet content, without adding extra devices and remotes, or switching inputs. I decided to check in on the state of the smart TV by living for a few days with the latest version from Samsung. While competitors like LG, Sony and others also offer smart TVs, I chose Samsung for two reasons. First, it’s a powerhouse across the world of digital devices that run apps."

Yet, Chromecast, as it's called, has the techies all giddy. A few of them said they already went on over to the Play store and bought one — before Google had even finished up its little event. The general upshot of the stick is that it ports the television on your computer — like Netflix — to your television. A lot of things already do this, like Roku, Apple TV, and Google's own Google TV. So what makes this thing any different or better than all the others? RELATED: Time Warner Can Blame ESPN for Much of That Cord Cutting It's dirt cheap. The stick only costs $35.

The newest i Pads have an improved anti-glare screen and the Night Shift feature can take the blue light out of the i Pad's color spectrum during the evening, which some studies suggest can interfere with sleep.

Satisfy the ADS-B Requirements Under the Next Gen air traffic management system, all aircraft in controlled airspace will need to be equipped with Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) “Out” technology before the end of 2019. For those who only fly below Class A airspace (18,000 feet) and in U. S. skies, the GDL 88 offers an affordable solution to reaching compliance. And even if you fly above 18,000 feet, the GDL 88 can still give you all the benefits of ADS-B “In” data – consider pairing it with a GTX 330/33 ES transponder for a comprehensive ADS-B “In/Out” solution. With ADS-B “Out”, the GDL 88 gathers information about your position, track and ground speed from either your existing WAAS GPS source or an optional built-in WAAS receiver. It then broadcasts this information to ADS-B ground stations over the 978 MHz Universal Access Transceiver (UAT) frequencies. This gives ATC and ADS-B “In” equipped aircraft a more precise picture of what’s happening in the sky, and allows for more safe and efficient flight routing. Access Aviation Weather The GDL 88 also features ADS-B “In” datalink technology that allows it to receive subscription-free Flight Information Service-Broadcast (FIS-B) weather broadcast from ADS-B ground stations on this same 978 UAT frequency. On a compatible flight display, this uplink allows you to view graphical NEXRAD radar, METARs, TAFs, SIGMETs, AIRMETs, NOTAMs, TFRs and more. Spot Potential Traffic Threats The GDL 88 can receive ADS-B position reports directly from other aircraft in your vicinity."

"text": "\"What Formats Does the Kindle Support?by Mike Southern Many different types of e-book readers are available, and each device has its pros and cons. E-book files likewise come in many different formats and no reader can handle them all. The Kindle supports a large number of existing formats, either natively or with conversion. A few file formats require the use of special software to be compatible with the Kindle. AZW: The Primary Format The \"\"AZW\"\" format is used for e-books that you buy at Amazon's Kindle Store. It is the preferred format to ensure maximum readability on the device. The format is proprietary and is actually a variant of the MOBI format, originally created by French company Mobipocket. Amazon purchased Mobipocket and adapted the format for use on the Kindle. Other Native Formats The Kindle can display some other e-book formats natively, which means these files can be loaded directly onto the device and read in the same manner as an AZW file. MOBI files and PRC files (a format used on the Palm) can be read if they do not contain Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection."

The time taken will depend on export settings (see below) and project complexity. Rendered audio is better quality than the live sound from FL Studio. Export formats include : Audio - .wav, .mp3, .ogg & .flac formats save the complete audio mix of your project (see the note below on including sounds from external hardware). MIDI - .mid, that saves Step Sequencer / Piano roll note data to standard MIDI files. MIDI is not an audio format. NOTE: Exporting to audio is not necessary to save your project for later work, use the File menu project Save option to .flp or .zip . Recording External Hardware NOTE: To include sounds from external hardware such as a synthesizer, drum-machine or sampler in the final render -Make MIDI connections to the device from your computer AND audio connections from the device to your audio interface inputs.

Some are better suited for some consumers than others. The premise is still the same, a small device that tells time and sounds an alarm at a pre-determined time and date. But nowadays you have an entire spectrum of possibilities out there when it's time to choose one for your needs. Such products these days are usually electronic and fully digital. Sure, you can still find the analog types with the round face and bells up top, but even those have some electronic component attached, such as a lit-up face. But most alarm clocks use bright, lit-up digital displays that are either LCD or LED and come with brightness dimmers. Many of these clocks have dual alarm capability, good for two-person households to set exclusive alarms with different sounds tailored to each individual. There are alarm clocks that also feature musical components to them. Clock radios have been around for decades, but with the advent of satellite radio and technologies such as i Pods and MP3 players, your only option isn't just AM/FM radio anymore (though most still have it to some degree)."

Symbol for an ESD protection device – EPASymbol of an ESD grounding point for all components An electrostatic-sensitive device (often abbreviated ESD) is any component (primarily electrical) which can be damaged by common static charges which build up on people, tools, and other non-conductors or semiconductors. ESD commonly also stands for electrostatic discharge. As electronic parts like computer central processing units (CPUs) become packed more and more densely with transistors the transistors shrink and become more and more vulnerable to ESD.

Decap cells are typically poly gate transistors where source and drain are connected to the ground rail, and the gate is connected to the power rail. Need of decap cells Added in the design between power and ground rails to counter functional failures due to dynamic IR drop. Dynamic I. R. drop happens at the active edge of the clock at which a high percentage of Sequential and Digital elements switch. Due to this simultaneous switching a high current is drawn from the power grid for a small duration. Now consider, If the power source is far away from a flop the chances are that this flop may not be getting enough power for stable functioning due to IR Drop. To overcome this decaps are added. How they work At an active edge of clock when the current requirement is high , these decaps discharge and provide boost to the power grid. It’s a capacitor that goes between VDD and GND in parallel with the rest of your logic gates. When your logic gates draw a high amount of current, this capacitor provides extra charge close to that circuit."

"text": "⎙ Print ✉ Mail Share What is Electro-Static Discharge? Electrostatic Discharge is the sudden discharge of static electricity to ground. Sensitive components, such as desktop or notebook disk drives or Solid State Drives, may be damaged if they are in the current path when the discharge occurs. Special precautions should always be taken when handling any device that may be damaged by static electricity. ESD damage occurs when a charge on a hand or tool finds a path of lesser resistance for itself to a drive. As the current flows to the drive, if the maximum amount of energy that parts of the drive can dissipate is less than the energy of the charge, then damage may occur. In a desktop or notebook disk drive, the small metal foil-like paths in the circuit board, which are made to handle minute amounts of voltage, can be blown apart. If the damage is only partial, the signal which is supposed to go through the path may become intermittent, causing degradation of the signal. ESD Prevention Ideally, your drive is shipped in a special bag designed to prevent ESD. Keep the drive in the bag until you are ready to install it, then open the bag by hand or cut the top with a pair of scissors."

"text": "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Partial stroke testing (or PST) is a technique used in a control system to allow the user to test a percentage of the possible failure modes of a shut down valve without the need to physically close the valve. PST is used to assist in determining that the safety function will operate on demand. PST is most often used on high integrity emergency shutdown valves (ESDVs) in applications where closing the valve will have a high cost burden yet proving the integrity of the valve is essential to maintaining a safe facility. In addition to ESDVs PST is also used on high integrity pressure protection systems or HIPPS. Partial stroke testing is not a replacement for the need to fully stroke valves as proof testing is still a mandatory requirement.

The following are the standards appropriate to these bodies. IEC61508 – Functional safety of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic safety-related systems IEC61511 – Functional safety – Safety instrumented systems for the process industry sector ANSI/ISA-84.00.01 – Functional safety: Safety instrumented systems for the process industry sector (an ANSI standard)These standards define the requirements for safety related systems and describe how to quantify the performance of PST systems Measuring safety performance [ edit]IEC61508 adapts a safety life cycle approach to the management of plant safety. During the design phase of this life cycle of a safety system the required safety performance level is determined using techniques such as Markov analysis, FMEA, fault tree analysis and Hazop. These techniques allow the user to determine the potential frequency and consequence of hazardous activities and to quantify the level of risk."

"text": "What Are Surges In general a surge is a transient wave of current, voltage or power in an electric circuit. In power systems in particular – and this is likely the most common context that we relate surges to – a surge, or transient, is a subcycle overvoltage with a duration of less than a half-cycle of the normal voltage waveform. A surge can be either positive or negative polarity, can be additive or subtractive from the normal voltage waveform, and is often oscillatory and decaying over time. Surges, or transients, are brief overvoltage spikes or disturbances on a power waveform that can damage, degrade, or destroy electronic equipment within any home, commercial building, industrial, or manufacturing facility. Transients can reach amplitudes of tens of thousands of volts. Surges are generally measured in microseconds. Every piece of electrical equipment is designed to operate at a specified nominal voltage such as 120 Vac, 240 Vac, 480 Vac, and so on. Most equipment is designed to handle minor variations in their standard nominal operating voltage however, surges can be very damaging to nearly all equipment. Sources of Surges/Transients A common source for surges generated inside a building are devices that switch power on and off. This can be anything from a simple thermostat switch operating a heating element to a switch-mode power supply found on many devices."

"text": "Are there any restrictions on how e-cigarettes may be used or sold? Policymakers, local government staff, and public health advocates often have questions about laws regulating where electronic smoking devices (ESDs) can be used and how they can be sold. This FAQ discusses the laws that apply to ESD use and sales in California. Restrictions on the Use of Electronic Smoking Devices As of June 9, 2016, California law prohibits the use of ESDs anywhere cigarette smoking is prohibited, including schools, playgrounds, tot lots, public parks, public buildings, farmers markets, and most enclosed workplaces. This prohibition applies to all ESDs—such as electronic cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and hookahs—regardless of whether those products contain nicotine or tobacco. For more information about recent changes to California’s smokefree laws, please see the California Tobacco Control Program’s Fact Sheet on Smoke-free Protections in the Workplace and Electronic Smoking Devices and infographic on California’s Clean Indoor Air Laws. At the federal level, the US Department of Transportation has stated that it interprets the federal regulations that prohibit smoking on airplanes to apply to ESDs. Local smokefree laws may also prohibit ESD use in places not covered by state or federal law, such as in multiunit housing and outdoor dining areas. However, unless your local smokefree law defines “smoking” to include ESD use, the use of these products may be legal in places where smoking cigarettes is prohibited. If you are in California and you are not sure whether your local smokefree air law prohibits the use of ESDs in public places, we can review your local ordinance."

Photo: Brian Fitgerald One year ago, over Fourth of July weekend, Alexandra Anderson, 13, and her brother Brayden Anderson, 8, were swimming near a private dock in the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri when they started to scream. Their parents went to their aid, but by the time the siblings were pulled from the lake, they were unresponsive. Both children were pronounced dead after being transported to a nearby hospital. About two hours later, Noah Winstead, a 10-year-old boy, died in a similar manner at Cherokee Lake, near Knoxville, Tennessee, and Noah's friend, 11-year-old Nate Parker Lynam, was pulled from the water and resuscitated but died early the following evening. According to local press reports, seven other swimmers were injured near where Noah died. These were not drowning victims. In all of these cases, 120-volt AC (alternating current) leakage from nearby boats or docks electrocuted or incapacitated swimmers in fresh water. This little-known and often-unidentified killer is called Electric Shock Drowning, or ESD, and these deaths and injuries were entirely preventable."

"text": "APR 2009VOL 43PLC Evaluation Board Simplifies Design of Industrial Process-Control systemsby Colm Slattery, Derrick Hartmann, and Li Ke Introduction The applications for industrial process-control systems are diverse, ranging from simple traffic control to complex electrical power grids, from environmental control systems to oil-refinery process control. The intelligence of these automated systems lies in their measurement and control units. The two most common computer-based systems to control machines and processes, dealing with the various analog and digital inputs and outputs, are programmable logic controllers 1 (PLCs) and distributed control systems 2 (DCS’s). These systems comprise power supplies, central processor units (CPUs), and a variety of analog-input, analog-output, digital-input, and digital-output modules. The standard communications protocols have existed for many years; the ranges of analog variables are dominated by 4 m A to 20 m A, 0 V to 5 V, 0 V to 10 V, ±5 V, and ±10 V. There has been much discussion about wireless solutions for next-generation systems, but designers still claim that 4 m A to 20 m A communications and control loops will continue to be used for many years. The criteria for the next generation of these systems will include higher performance, smaller size, better system diagnostics, higher levels of protection, and lower cost—all factors that will help manufacturers differentiate their equipment from that of their competitors. We will discuss the key performance requirements of process-control systems and the analog input/output modules they contain—and will introduce an industrial process-control evaluation system that integrates these building blocks using the latest integrated-circuit technology. We also look at the challenges of designing a robust system that will withstand the electrical fast transients (EFTs), electrostatic discharges (ESDs), and voltage surges found in industrial environments—and present test data that verifies design robustness. PLC Overview with Application Example Figure 1 shows a basic process-control system building block. A process variable, such as flow rate or gas concentration, is monitored via the input module."

"text": "OCT 2015VOL 49Using ESD Diodes as Voltage Clampsby Paul Blanchard and Brian Pelletier Abstract When external overvoltage conditions are applied to an amplifier, ESD diodes are the last line of defense between your amplifier and electrical over stress. With proper understanding of how an ESD cell is implemented in a device, a designer can greatly extend the survival range of an amplifier with the appropriate circuit design. This article aims to introduce readers to the various types of ESD implementations, discuss the characteristics of each implementation, and provide guidance on how to utilize these cells to improve the robustness of a design. Introduction In many applications where the input is not under system control but rather connects to the outside world, such as test equipment, instrumentation, and some sensing equipment, it is possible for input voltages to exceed the maximum rated voltage of a front-end amplifier. In these applications, protection schemes must be implemented to preserve the survival range and robustness of the design. The front-end amplifier’s internal ESD diodes are sometimes used for clamping overvoltage conditions, but many factors need to be considered to ensure these clamps will provide sufficient and robust protection. Understanding the various ESD diode architectures that are inside of front-end amplifiers, along with understanding the thermal and electromigration implications of a given protection circuit, can help a designer avoid problems with their protection circuits and improve the longevity of their applications in the field. ESD Diode Configurations It is important to understand that not all ESD diodes are simple diode clamps to the power supplies and ground. There are many possible implementations that can be used, such as multiple diodes in series, diodes and resistors, and back to back diodes. Some of the more common implementations are detailed below."

"text": "Definitionelectrostatic discharge (ESD)Posted by: Margaret Rouse What Is.com Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the release of static electricity when two objects come into contact. Familiar examples of ESD include the shock we receive when we walk across a carpet and touch a metal doorknob and the static electricity we feel after drying clothes in a clothes dryer. A more extreme example of ESD is a lightening bolt. While most ESD events are harmless, it can be an expensive problem in many industrial environments. ESD first requires a build-up of an electrostatic charge. This occurs when two different materials rub together. One of the materials becomes positively charged; the other becomes negatively charged. The positively-charged material now has an electrostatic charge. When that charge comes into contact with the right material, it is transferred and we have an ESD event. The heat from the ESD event is extremely hot, although we do not feel it when we are shocked."

Allen, Manager Engineering, Desco Industries Inc., Canton, MAStatic charges that generate from floors and carpets are not only an annoying and costly occurrence for office and factory employers, but can be easily controlled with existing carpets and tile floors. What is static Electricity? Static electricity is an electrical charge that is at rest, as opposed to electricity in motion or current electricity. Static charges can be generated by either friction or induction. Typical examples are the Wimshurst machine that uses friction and the Van de Graaff generator using electrostatic induction. How is it generated? The most common generation of static charge is the triboelectric charge or the friction electricity developed when rubbing together and then separating two masses. For example, when two blocks are rubbed together and then separated, a triboelectric charge is developed on each block. The two blocks will have opposite polarities; one will be negatively charged and the other will be positively charged. Static Generation from carpet: When a person walks across a carpeted or tile floor, a triboelectric charge builds up in the body due to the friction between the shoes and floor material."

ESD-induced failures in semiconductors can be seen in the form of leakage, short, burnout, contact damage, gate oxide rupture, and resistor-metal interface damage. CMOS scaling reduces power and increases speed, but smaller size increases susceptibility to damage of the thin gate oxide due to EOS/ESD conditions. The shrinking size of semiconductor chips, thin gate oxides, multiple power supplies, chip complexity, and high-speed circuit operation all contribute significantly to ESD sensitivity."

In addition to your Apple ID—the email address you use to identify your account—your password is the key that lets you into that account. But anyone can pretend to be you, and attempt to get into your account, saying they've forgotten the password, and then attempting to answer the security questions that you chose when setting up the Apple ID. If they get through them, because they know the name of your first pet, your favorite sports team, and whatever else, they can access your account. Unless you add an additional layer of security. Many services use two-factor authentication (Apple calls this \"\"two-step verification\"\") to protect accounts. This means that your password alone is not enough; you need to have information that is sent to you or generated on a trusted device. My bank uses a device that gives me one-time codes when I log into my account; my username and password aren't enough. In Apple's implementation, any time you log into your account from a new device, they require an additional code, which is sent to one of your trusted devices: your i Phone, i Pad or i Pod touch.

Tiers may be labeled Qualified, Mid-Qualified, Non-Qualified or Debit/Check Card. Fixed rate would be single Tier billing. This billing is nearly always a disadvantage to merchants because Tier rates are usually higher than the individual card types they comprise. Interchange Plus pricing is the only truly honest, fair, transparent pricing because all card types are revealed at their true bank cost on the statement.1 Tier (Flat Rate/Fixed Rate) — Worst possible scenario for merchants. All cards receive the Non Qualified rates. These may be 3% - 5% or more on all card types, even when debit interchange may only by 0.95%.2 Tier — Includes Qualified & Non Qualifed rates only. Qualified may include Debit cards or Debit & plain basic credit cards. Non qualified will include all remaining card types (30-45 card types). This is the second worst pricing structure.3 Tier — Includes Qualified (Debit), Mid Qualified (Rewards/Travel cards) and Non Qualified Card types (all remaining cards including business, foreign, and standard).4 Tier — The most ideal of Tiered pricing, this includes all in the 3 Tier categories above but adds a Debit (Check Card) rate."

What is two-step verification for Apple ID? Two-step verification is a security feature for Apple ID that’s designed to prevent anyone else from accessing or using your account, even if they know your password. It requires you to verify your identity using one of your devices or another approved method before you can: Sign in to your Apple ID account page Sign in to i Cloud on a new device or at i Cloud.com Sign in to i Message or Face Time *Make an i Tunes, i Books, or App Store purchase from a new device Get Apple ID-related support from Apple Is two-step verification the same as two-factor authentication? No. Two-factor authentication is a newer security method that's built directly into i OS, mac OS, tv OS, watch OS, and Apple’s websites. It offers a more streamlined user experience and is required to use certain features that call for enhanced security. Two-factor authentication is available to i Cloud users with at least one device using i OS 9 or OS X El Capitan or later. If you have Apple devices that can be updated to i OS 9 or later or OS X El Capitan or later, you should set up two-factor authentication instead. If you use two-step verification for your Apple ID, and then you upgrade to i OS 11 or later, or mac OS High Sierra or later, your security settings may be automatically upgraded to two-factor authentication."

"text": "Back in July, we provided you with an overview of Apple’s two-step verification. This is the security method that requires at least two factors of authentication—a password and a trusted device—in order to successfully access an account. Two-step is a great security method, because it forces one to have physical access to a security key, in this case, an i Phone or an i Pad. Needless to say, we here at i DB highly recommend using 2SV for any account that allows it, Apple ID, or otherwise. In fact, if a service that you’re using doesn’t offer 2SV, I’d seriously think twice about using that service—it’s that important for keeping your data secure. If you have two-step enabled for your Apple ID, and you should, then you’ve doubtlessly run into the screen that asks you to verify your identify when logging in with your Apple ID. On that screen, it may list some of your Apple devices, and at least one verified phone number. These devices act as security authentication keys. Have you ever wondered what the requirements are for the devices that are listed here? Have you ever wanted to remove or add a device?"

And the same goes when running Kodi from a smaller sized USB flash drive or SD (Secure Digital) card. This how-to will show ways to reduce the space used, as well as reclaim space from files that are no longer needed. Kodi stores data mainly in the userdata folder or the parent folder of userdata, \"\"xbmc\"\" or \"\"kodi\"\".

For example, if you remove a movie from the library then the poster and fanart will still be saved in the userdata folder. Until Kodi has an internal method of pruning these files you can use the highly versatile Texture Cache Maintenance utility to remove unused images.2 Actor images If you don't care to download pictures of Actors for when you are browsing or looking up actor information, you can turn this off. Doing so can often save a few hundred megabytes of disk space storage, depending on how versatile your video library is. Go into Settings -> Video -> Library -> and disable the Download actor thumbnails when adding to library option.3 Fanart images It is possible to disable the automatic downloading of \"\"background\"\" images for TV shows and movies, known as \"\"fanart\"\"."

"text": "4 Reasons Why Kodi Streamers Need a Kodi VPNAug 12, 2017by Nathan Kinkead in Kodi3864SHARESFacebook Twitter Subscribe Do you use Kodi and wonder why you might need a Kodi VPN service? In this post, I will give you four good reasons why you should use a VPN for Kodi on your streaming TV box, PC or stick. Note: While this post was originally published in June 2016, I’ve been frequently updating it, adding a lot more tips and resources to help you protect your privacy with a VPN. I’ve included tips down below about how to install a VPN for Kodi, a coupon for IPVanish VPN , installing VPN on a Fire TV Stick, setting up a whole-house VPN, and more. But first, a little background about Kodi streaming add-ons…Cord-Cutting with Kodi Streaming Add-ons If you’re a cord-cutter like me and ditched your cable or satellite bill, you’re probably aware of how many options there are out there for streaming TV shows and movies. Besides the mainstream paid streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Instant Video, Apple TV, and Google Play Video, you’ve probably discovered the holy grail of streaming… Kodi, the open source home theater software that you can run on just about any device. Kodi by itself is pretty basic and really only lets you play your own local media files and stream video from a selection of official add-ons. However, a whole world of unlimited video streaming opens up to you when you start looking at unofficial add-ons. Unofficial add-ons are developed by people who have no association with the Kodi core team, but they write add-ons that are intended to work on Kodi. There is a vast amount of unofficial add-ons you can select from ( we all have our favorites ), and the decision to install those add-ons and what you do with those add-ons is up to you (legally and ethically speaking)."

It is very important to understand that with \"\"Live TV\"\" in the reference to PVR in Kodi we do not mean streaming video from the internet via websites providing free content or online services such as Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and similar, no matter if that content is actually streamed live or not. If that is what you are looking for then you might want to look into \"\" Video Addons \"\" for Kodi instead, (which again is not the same as the \"\"PVR\"\" or \"\"Live TV\"\" we discuss in this article), but remember that Kodi does not provide any video content or video streaming services . Live TV and PVR Setup Guide: Introduction Setting up the recording software Configuring live TV settings in Kodi The basics of Live TV and recording Live TV Artwork PVR FAQKodi features powerful Live TV and video recording (DVR/PVR) abilities using a very flexible distributed application structure. That is, by leveraging other existing third-party PVR backend applications or DVR devices that specialize in receiving television signals and also support the same type of client–server model which Kodi uses, (following a frontend-backend design principle for separation of concerns ), these PVR features in Kodi allow you to watch Live TV, listen to radio, view an EPG TV-Guide and schedule recordings, and also enables many other TV related features, all using Kodi as your primary interface once the initial pairing connection and configuration have been done. Due to the somewhat complicated nature of initially setting up a PVR for Kodi for the first time, this guide was created to try to help users from start to finish. Kodi can today act as a PVR frontend to many PVR backend software and DVR set-top boxes that the manufacturer and/or the community are providing compatible PVR client addons for. This includes, but is not exclusive to, PVR client addons for PVR software and hardware such as Argus TV, DVBLogic DVBLink, DVBViewer, For The Record, Tvheadend, Media Portal, Myth TV, Next PVR (formerly GB-PVR), VDR, Windows Media Center, and Enigma2-based DVR set-top boxes such as Dreambox, DBox2, and Vu+. as well as PVR client addons for direct LAN connection to network-attached TV-Tuners such as HDHome Run, PCTV Systems Broadway, VBox Home TV Gateway, and Digital Devices Octopus NET network-attached TV-tuners.

CNETLater this summer, Xbox One owners will finally be able to run Windows 10 apps. Jason Ronald, principal group program manager for Microsoft Game Studios, revealed the Xbox One's upcoming support for Windows 10 universal apps at this week's Game Developers Conference, Business Insider reported on Thursday. Further, Microsoft will merge the Xbox Store and the Windows Store into a single virtual shopping place, so customers will be able to download apps for the Xbox One and Windows 10 from the same place. A spokesman for Microsoft confirmed to CNET that Ronald's comments were accurate. Bringing Windows 10 and the Xbox One together is a continuation of Microsoft's push to get all of its products onto a single platform. Microsoft wants to get Windows 10 into as many hands as possible, and offering this bridge could convince Xbox One owners to upgrade to the new operating system. The move comes as major tech companies such as Apple and Google jockey to power your gadgets with their software. On the flip side, Microsoft wants to create greater demand for the Xbox One, which for the past couple of years has seen its sales trounced by those of Sony's Play Station 4. The Xbox One is part of Microsoft's \"\"universal apps\"\" strategy, under which developers can more easily create games and other apps for one platform and then tweak them to run on another platform."

For Christmas, my amazing wife gave me a Kill-A-Watt – a small device that you plug into the wall to measure the wattage of the device plugged into it. Wattage is a measurement of the amount of work being done at a given instant, as opposed to over a period of time. For example, we say things like, “that light bulb is using 60 watts of power,” meaning that it is consuming 60 joules per second. See below for a quick explanation of what a joule is. What’s a joule?"

The Xbox One GPU: GCN-Based While Microsoft and Sony both leverage AMD's Graphics Core Next architecture for their next-generation consoles, Microsoft's shader count is matched pretty well to the same Bonaire GPU found on the desktop Radeon HD 7790. Sony, on the other hand, appears to have a derivative of AMD's Pitcairn design found on the Radeon HD 7800s. Much has already been said comparing both devices and their capabilities. However, the fact that developers are running certain games at lower native resolutions on the Xbox One than the PS4 and then upscaling the output makes it pretty clear that Sony's GPU is more powerful. But gaming consoles do not mirror the PC graphics card market. The fastest console doesn't always win, as Sega can attest to. There are also some very significant differences between actual desktop GPUs and the hardware inside the Xbox One. For instance, Bonaire has 14 Compute Units. As we know, each CU has four Vector Units, and each VU contains 16 shaders."

"text": "\"Xbox One Mixed Reality headset: Everything we know about the VR system Microsoft's bringing mixed reality to its console in 2018Monday June 12, 2017By Hugh Langley@hughlangley Holo Lens, Microsoft's futuristic AR helmet, has a bright future bringing mixed reality into the mainstream. But it's not quite the Xbox One VR headset that many gamers are waiting for. With PS VR now out, Microsoft is on the backfoot when it comes to virtual reality - but something is coming, and soon. Microsoft has now confirmed that both its Xbox One S and premium Xbox One X console (previously Project Scorpio) will be brought into the Mixed Reality (previously Windows 10 VR) fold. You can check out our full explanation of Microsoft's mixed reality headsets, then head on for everything we know about its Xbox plans specifically. What is it? Microsoft announced its plans for Windows Holographic devices back in 2016, but it's now changed the name to Windows Mixed Reality. It's partnering with a bunch of companies including Acer, Lenovo and Dell to make headsets that can give people a VR experience for less money than the likes of the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. The headsets contain inside-out tracking, meaning you can walk around in VR without the need for external sensors. But they also have a camera passthrough, which will provide the \"\"mixed\"\" reality in some instances."

"text": "How to Use the Play Station 4’s Dual Shock 4 Controller for PC Gamingby Chris Hoffman on December 21st, 2016Sony’s Dual Shock 4 controller is actually a standard gamepad, and you can connect it to any PC with a USB cable, standard Bluetooth, or Sony’s official wireless USB adapter. It will work in a variety of games, too, since Steam now offers official support for Dual Shock 4 controllers. Once you’ve connected a PS4 controller to a PC, you can also take advantage of PS4 Remote Play to stream games from your own PS4 console, or Sony’s Play Station Now service to stream games from Sony’s servers. RELATED: Why You Should Get an Xbox Controller for PC Gaming Microsoft’s Xbox controllers arguably still work best for PC gaming, as they’re officially supported by Microsoft and many games support Xbox 360 and Xbox One controllers in particular. If you’re buying a controller for PC gaming instead, you should probably get an Xbox controller. But if you already have a Play Station 4 controller lying around, here’s how to set it up with your PC. How to Connect a PS4 Controller to a PCYou can connect the controller to your computer with the included USB-to-micro-USB cable—the same one you use with your PS4—and use it as a wired controller. It will “just work” without any additional setup. If you want to connect your controller wirelessly, Sony recommends you purchase the official Dual Shock 4 USB Wireless Adapter ($15). To wirelessly connect your Play Station 4 controller with a PC without any additional hardware, you’ll need to put it in Bluetooth pairing mode."

Just plug your cable box into the HDMI In slot, they say, and you can view the full channel guide and schedule your DVR without ever switching inputs. You can even change channels with voice commands (if you have Kinect) and “Snap” the video to the side of the screen while you play a game. Unfortunately, Microsoft hasn't given much love to cord cutters, at least in the United States. The console itself lacks an RF antenna input, and while users in Europe can buy an official Xbox One TV tuner, that device won't work for U. S. broadcasts—and there's no word on whether we'll see a proper U. S. version. Update: You can now buy an over-the-air TV tuner for the Xbox one. There is, however, a workaround: Reading through some recent posts in Reddit's cord-cutters forum, I discovered a $35 box called the Media Sonic Home Worx HW180STB. [ Further reading: The best DVRs for cord cutters ]You don't need a cable box to get Microsoft's program guide on your TV. The Home Worx HW180STB is both an analog-to-digital converter and an over-the-air tuner for U. S. ATSC broadcasts. Equally important, it has an HDMI output that can be connected to an Xbox One, enabling most of the gaming console's TV features."

Photo: Courtesy/Microsoft Fixya, a leading product solution site, recently sifted through more than 40,000 problem impressions to determine the most common issues -- and solutions -- with Microsoft’s Xbox One. The console launched on Nov. 22 and sold 1 million units within 24 hours of its release. Like any new console, the Xbox One has encountered several user issues. The site found the following glitches most common with the brand’s latest gaming endeavor. Fixya also compiled a list of the most effective solutions for Xbox One bugs, gathering data from user comments and criticisms.1. Kinect — 30%This feature is a major selling point of the Xbox One, but unfortunately some issues have cropped up for users when attempting to use it. The most common problem associated with the Kinect is that sometimes it simply does not work properly -- whether that is voice commands not being recognized, the motion sensor technology malfunctioning, or games that leverage Kinect for in-game play not being able to be played because of these issues. Plain and simple -- if you're playing a game that requires Kinect, and your Kinect isn't working, then obviously that game becomes unplayable."

March 27, 2018 8 minutes to read Contributorsall In this article UWP app characteristics Use a language you already know UI and universal input UWP keeps users engaged with your app Monetize your app Links to help you get going Windows 10 introduces the Universal Windows Platform (UWP), which provides a common app platform on every device that runs Windows 10. The UWP provides a guaranteed core API across devices. New adaptive controls and layout panels help you to tailor your UI across a broad range of device screen resolutions and sizes, and respond to multiple kinds of device input. A unified app store makes your app available on Windows 10 devices such as PC, tablet, Xbox, Holo Lens, Surface Hub, and Internet of Things (Io T) devices. UWP is flexible. You can use languages such as C#, C++, Javascript, and VB. Have a C++ desktop app that you want to modernize with UWP features and sell in the Microsoft store? That's okay, too. Because UWP apps can run on a wide variety of devices with different form factors and types of input, UWP makes it possible to unlock the unique capabilities of each device with extension SDKs allow you to exploit the capabilities of specific devices."

"text": "\"DL dlane2155 asked on December 1, 2012Q: Windows Update messed up connection and streaming to Xbox 360I've been having a problem connecting my PCs (tried 4 different ones) to my Xbox 360 over the past couple months. My PCs are all connected to my modem wireless, while the Xbox 360 is wired with a CAT6 cable. Basically I believe the problem is within Windows. When I go to \"\"Network\"\" from the start menu it will not show the Xbox 360; however if I view the full network map from the network and sharing center it will show the Xbox 360 there. Also the Xbox 360 shows up in the Norton Internet Security Network Map. I have disabled the firewall and they can still not connect. Also the Xbox 360 can connect to Xbox Live. I believe the problem to be within windows but it is possible that it lies within a setting of our modem. I doubt that to be the case because no settings were changed in the modem when this problem began, and Verizon sent us a new modem to verify that there were no problems with the modem. If I connect my PCs directly to the router the Xbox 360 will show up in \"\"Network\"\" from the start menu."

Whether used continuously to generate documents or as a convenient accessory if hard copies are needed, they accommodate a broad range of services and easily fit within home and office work space. Selecting an Epson Printer Choosing aprinteroften depends upon several considerations. Key factors include whether it's intended for the occasional school report, letter, tax form, or application, or if it's needed for a lot of printouts during the year. Where the machine will be kept in relation to your computer is also something to think about, so you can decide between wireless and cable connectivity. Some Epson printers are all-in-one devices, while others function best handling only a single task at a time. An appealing feature is the ability to print 10 to 20 pages per minute with a crisp and clear production quality of up to 4800 x 2400 dpi. There are models that deftly handle disks, network sharing, graphics, barcodes, and reports that incorporate highly detailed charts and tables. In contrast to the typical size of a home machine or a large corporate printer, there are also small handheld printing devices designed for printing receipts and passenger manifests. Convenience of Epson Printers With an Epson printer, you can increase productivity with top loading trays, and the additional uses of copying, scanning, and faxing, if needed."

"text": "\"Fix Printer Driver Issues on Windows 10By Camilla Mo – Last Updated: 4 months ago in Driver Install , Printer Issues , Technical Tips After you upgrade the system to Windows 10 from Windows 7, 8 or 8.1, if your printer doesn’t work at all or doesn’t print properly, the printer driver is most probably damaged or incompatible with Windows 10. You can fix the issue by reinstalling and updating the printer driver. Microsoft indicates that Windows 10 will remove some apps and software which are incompatible with the new operating system. This could happen to some printer drivers. Some printer manufacturers such as Canon, Brother, Dell, Epson have updated the Windows 10 drivers for their vast majority of printers. Some manufacturers such as Panasonic haven’t updated the drivers in timely fashion, reporting that Windows 10 drivers for their printers will be available in the near future. Following are three ways you can use to update the printer drivers in Windows 10. Way 1: Update your printer driver manually Way 2: Use Windows Update for new drivers Way 3: Update your printer driver automatically Way 1: Update your printer driver manually You can go to your printer manufacturer’s website to check if your printer model supports Windows 10. If yes, you can download and install the Windows 10 driver for your printer. If not, you can download the latest version that the manufacturer has released like Windows 8 version or Windows 7 version."

My new computer recognizes the (networked) printer but does not recognize the scanner function. When I try to scan a document it tells me I do not have a scanner installed? What to do? Reply I have the same question (780)BC Bruce Chambers replied on May 19, 2011A: Normally, input devices cannot be shared, at all, but this isn't always true of scanners. You'll be able to share the scanner only if it's manufacturer provided specialized software for that purpose. You have to use a network-capable scanner (which immediately eliminates most, if not all, USB scanners) and specialized software (that comes with the scanner) to do this. If you're talking about a home consumer grade flatbed USB or parallel port scanner, you very probably can't."

"text": "10 things your i Pad can do with a little extra help Geoffrey Goetz Mar 8, 2014 - 9:00 AM CDT13 Comments Tweet Share Post The App Store has allowed a wide range of talented developers to think of new ways that people can use the Apple’s i Pad to make people’s day-to-day lives better. But sometimes in order to be useful, your i Pad needs a little help from an external accessory to extend and enhance the capability of the i Pad. Here are ten such useful extensions that you can take advantage of with your i Pad: Attach a USB desktop keyboard – Sure, there are many different bluetooth keyboards for the i Pad; they even come in the form of cases that you can attach and make your i Pad appear and feel more like a laptop than a tablet. But many of these keyboards are small and don’t have quite the same feel as a full-sized desktop computer keyboard. If you are looking to attach your favorite, desktop style keyboard to your i Pad, try using either the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter for $30 or the i Pad Camera Connection Kit also for $30. Not all keyboards will work, as the i Pad does not supply much power to attached devices, especially ones with additional features like a USB hub or trackpad attached. The cheaper the keyboard, the more likely it is to work. Keep in mind that this feature is also not officially supported by Apple. Watch movies off of a SD card – While the SD expansion capabilities of the i Pad may be limited to photos and movies, those movies do not have to be limited to the movies you have taken with a camera. In fact, you can transfer the full length movies you have in your home media library onto your i Pad using an SD card."

The way to go about this would be to get a router that supports dd-wrt third party firmware, has a USB port and has USB support for scanners via libsane within DD-wrt (SANE linux scanner software), and then have a scanner that is supported by libsane. Then you would need Sane Twain to interact with the scanner across the network. There are lots of points in this chain that you might have difficulty getting to work. It may be simpler to get a cheap nettop PC, run windows on it and plug the scanner into it. Then \"\"share\"\" the scanner on the network by having people access the Windows box with RDP.share improve this answeranswered Dec 6 '11 at 0:01Paul45.6k 13 108 1413Yep... looks too complex for 21 century:) – Kamarey Dec 6 '11 at 10:06add a comment Your Answer Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password Post as a guest Name Email By posting your answer, you agree to the privacy policy and terms of service.

"text": "Disable File And Printer Sharing On A Network In Windows 100By Rajat Sharma on December 19, 2014 Windows 10This tutorial details how to disable file and printer sharing on a network in Windows 10. Over the course of the past few years, Computers (and in general, technology) have become an indispensable part of our daily lives. Whether it’s home, school, or workplace, it’s nearly impossible to imagine getting things done without computers. And the rapid advancements in Internet connectivity have made it possible to stay connected at all times, even when you’re on the move. Computers of today are extremely capable machines, and when connected to each other (either through LAN, or the Internet), they get even better. Out of the many things multiple computers connected to the same network can do, one is the sharing of files and peripherals (e.g. printers, scanners), even when they’re not directly connected to them. While it’s hugely convenient and awesome, but what if you don’t want it, and would rather have it disabled (say, to prevent unauthorized use of networked devices by others)? Looks like your wish has been granted, as Windows 10 allows you to do just that. Can’t wait to know more? Head over to the other side of the break to find out how you can disable file and printer sharing on a network in Windows 10."

I have added some software but not changed the operating system. I had been using an HP printer that worked fine until the printer itself broke last week. So, I got a new printer (a Brother MFC-J4410DW) and cannot get the driver to install. My troubleshooting:1) I tried installing the driver/software with the Windows 8 driver from the Brother website (downloading the file & then clicking the file to unzip + run... also tried simply clicking the .exe file located in the unzipped files on another attempt) using a USB connection. The install froze at the point it asked for me to connect the printer and wouldn't move to the next screen... forever waiting to \"\"connect.\"\" I tried different ports, different cords, etc. Although the install would not complete I did verify through the devices screens that the computer was seeing a scanner attached via that port, but not a printer. The scanner, tho listed, would not work. After using their uninstall tool and retrying a few times I figured I'd try to get around that by setting up a wireless connection.2) I successfully connected the printer to my wireless network from the panel on the printer."

Windows Server 2008 R2 implements DSM and uses Web Services on Devices (WSD) technologies to integrate scanning devices into the system. For a list of scanners available that support DSM, see Distributed Scan Management (DSM) Scanners.

This \"\"wake word\"\" can be changed by the user to \"\"Amazon\"\", \"\"Echo\"\" or \"\"Computer\"\".

It can also control several smart devices acting as a home automation hub. Amazon had been developing Echo devices inside its Lab126 offices in Silicon Valley and Cambridge, Massachusetts since at least 2010 in confirmed reports. The device was part of Amazon’s first attempts to expand its device portfolio beyond the Kindle e-reader. [ 3] The Echo was prominently featured in Amazon's first-ever Super Bowl ad in 2016. [ 4]The first-generation Echo was initially limited to Amazon Prime members or by invitation, but became widely available in the United States on June 23, 2015.

It integrates with a number of third party apps, is capable of managing your Amazon account, can set alarms and reminders, and it can even double as a Bluetooth speaker when you need to play music off your phone. While the Amazon Alexa app does a decent job of getting you started with your brand new Amazon Echo, the list of Alexa commands it offers is by no means extensive, let alone exhaustive. So, if you are looking for some more cool Amazon Echo Alexa commands that your Echo supports (without enabling any additional Skills), or if you have just bought an Echo, or even if you’re only planning on buying one, you should definitely read this article. Note: Setting up the Echo is easy, and if you live outside the US, and want to set it up for your country, you can check out our article on how to set up and use Amazon Echo outside US for an easy to follow, and exhaustive guide to get you all set up. Also, you can use the same Alexa commands on your Amazon Tap or Echo Dot too. Basic Settings and System Wide Commands1. Pairing a Bluetooth Device You can pair a Bluetooth device to the Amazon Echo very easily, and then directly stream music to the Echo, effectively turning it into a glorified Bluetooth speaker (with amazing sound quality, though). Say “ Alexa, pair “, and your Echo will go into pairing mode, and you can simply connect your Bluetooth device to it.2. Connecting a Paired Device to Echo If you have already paired your devices with the Echo, and just want to connect them, you don’t need to go into pairing mode again."

"text": "Two months ago Amazon made its Echo voice controlled speaker/home automation device available to everyone for $179.99. At the time I told Fortune readers that they should really buy the Amazon Echo based on my experience with the device, which I had owned since December. If I didn’t convince you then, I’m back with some more inducements, and some tricks and tips for those that took my advice. In the time since I’ve written that review Amazon has added support for more home automation products, including the Wink home hub and the Smart Things home automation hub. It has also fixed some of the issues with shared Google (goog, +0.51%) calendars so you can now get multiple calendars. The Amazon (amzn, +1.16%) Echo is even developing a sense of humor and plays games. So without further ado, here’s what you can and still can’t do with the Amazon Echo. Link it with Lutron lights: I love Lutron dimmers, and thanks to the link with the Wink hub I can now command my dining room lights, laundry room, and porch lights to go on and off or dim with my voice. I also included my dining room and porch lights as part of a group called Downstairs so I can tell the Echo “turn off downstairs” as I’m heading up to bed and every downstairs light that is connected to the Echo shuts off. Turn on your humidifier: Actually, this could work with any appliance that you plug into an outlet and can be left on all the time."

Slid into your home under the guise of a wireless speaker, the Echo has grown to become one of the best ways to control smart home devices, such as lights, thermostats, locks, and more with just your voice. It turns out that it’s much easier to turn your lights on or off with a voice command than to pull out your smartphone, unlock it, load an app, and push a button. The Echo also lets you set alarms, timers, catch up on the news, and yes, buy things from Amazon with simple voice commands. And its wireless speaker capabilities have expanded with support for Pandora and Spotify. As a result, the Echo has quickly become one of Amazon’s best-selling products, even more popular than its Kindle line of e-readers. If the original Echo was Amazon’s Trojan Horse to get into your home, the new Echo Dot is Amazon’s army coming in behind it. It’s smaller and half the price ($89.99 vs. $179.99), yet has all of the same far-field voice recognition technology and voice control capabilities as the larger Echo. The Dot won’t fill a room with sound, but it can be connected to a larger speaker if you want, effectively turning a \"\"dumb\"\" speaker \"\"smart. \"\" You don’t need a full-size Echo to use the Dot — it is a fully standalone device."

Bottom Line Amazon's Fire TV Stick is faster and less expensive than ever, and comes with an Alexa-enabled voice remote out of the box, making it the best budget-friendly media streamer you can buy. Amazon launched the Fire TV Stick three years ago, offering a microphone-equipped remote as an optional accessory or as part of a premium $60 bundle. Its latest media streamer —and its only one available in \"\"stick\"\" form — comes with a remote out of the box that gives you access to voice search and Amazon's Alexa voice assistant.

By Eric Griffith and Alex Colon December 1, 2017 11:51AM ESTFacebook Twitter Linkedin Pinterest Reddit Email Copy How Smart Is Your Home? What if all the devices in your life could connect to the internet? Not just computers and smartphones, but everything: clocks, speakers, lights, door bells, cameras, windows, window blinds, hot water heaters, appliances, cooking utensils, you name it. And what if those devices could all communicate, send you information, and take your commands? It's not science fiction; it's the Internet of Things (Io T), and it's a key component of home automation and smart homes. Home automation is exactly what it sounds like: automating the ability to control items around the house—from windowto pet feeders—with a simple push of a button (or a voice command). Some activities, like setting up a lamp to turn on and off at your whim, are simple and relatively inexpensive. Others, like advanced surveillance cameras, may require a more serious investment of time and money."

"text": "\"By Jim Martin | 28 Sep 2017The 2017 Fire TV Stick with Alexa remote announced earlier this year is now available in the UK. Now Amazon has announced a version with 4K too. Here's what you need to know. Note: As of 1 Jan 2018, Google has blocked access to You Tube on Fire TV devices. The app now shows an error message which explains this. A clunky workaround is to install a web browser in the app store and browse to You Tube.com. When is the Amazon Fire TV Stick release date? The Fire TV Stick with Alexa is already on sale in the UK and has been since 6 April. The 4K Fire TV Stick is available to pre-order now and goes on sale on 25 October.

"text": "Streaming Buying Guide Amazon Fire TV vs Fire TV Stick: What Should You Buy?by Marshall Honorof Jan 16, 2018, 8:43 AMIf you're invested in the Amazon ecosystem of products, you may want an Amazon Fire TV, to access all your movies, TV and music on the big screen. The only problem is that the Fire TV is not a single product: you can buy it in either UHD or full HD configurations. Tom's Guide has reviewed the 1080p Fire TV Stick as well as the 4K HDR All-New Fire TV, and we were reasonably pleased with both. While it's true that the products have more similarities than differences, there are a few ways in which they vary. Buying a Fire TV Stick for a gamer, for example, would be a bad idea, while buying a Fire TV for someone who doesn't have a 4K TV would be a waste of potential. Apple TV 4K w/ Steel Series Wireless Controller Apple's current-gen streamer is rarely on sale, but for a limited time Best Buy offers the 32GB model with a wireless Steel Series controller for $199.98. It's the perfect package for casual gamers. Was $229.98. Is Now $199.98 . See details on Best Buy Amazon Fire TV Stick with Alexa The Fire TV Stick focuses on Amazon apps, which makes it a good choice for existing Amazon customers."

"text": "Amazon Echo in the house: Superior streaming speaker with so-so smartsby Frank Catalano on December 29, 2014 at 3:43 pm66 Comments Share Tweet Share Reddit Email Geek Wire Awards: Early-bird tix on sale now!At one end of the intelligent audio spectrum is the gadget that hangs on to your every word, a vocal personal assistant role to which Apple’s Siri, Microsoft’s Cortana and Android’s Google Now aspire. At the other end is the relatively single-minded wireless Internet speaker, such as the Play series from Sonos. For all of its promise and posturing, Amazon’s entry – the sleek, silky-voiced Echo – is more speaker than savant. But damn, it sounds good. I unpacked my Amazon Echo on Christmas Eve. Like many, I had signed up to receive a purchase “invitation” when the Echo was announced on Nov. 6, and finally was notified, six weeks later on Dec. 19, that I was among the chosen. It was in my hands four days later. For the uninitiated, the Echo is one of a flurry of hardware devices that Amazon has rolled out in 2014. Echo is being offered to the public solely by invitation. It’s a strategy that I suspect that has a lot more to do with determining the demand on Amazon Web Services (Echo’s intelligent back end) and needed software tweaks than on any hardware shortages."

"text": "\"RP on How To Control Amazon Echo / Alexa Remotely From Your Phone By Oliver Haslam | May 26th, 2016Amazon’s Echo devices have been the big winner in the world of digital assistants of late, and while Google’s Home, and Apple’s rumored Siri-powered device, looks set to give it a real run for its money whenever they become available, the Echo is still capable of getting most of the job done right now, but it isn’t without its drawbacks. Chief among those drawbacks is the fact that you cannot speak to Alexa, the Echo’s assistant software, when you are not in the same room as the device itself. Amazon offers a bluetooth-based $30 remote control that allows users to sort of get around that issue, but it still can’t be used remotely, not to forget that everyone likes to get something for nothing, so when we heard about an app for i OS and Android that can do it all for free, and from anywhere in the world, our interest was piqued. Enter Roger, a walkie-talkie app of sorts that can be downloaded from the i OS App Store or Google Play Store, Roger can do a surprisingly great job for absolutely no cost whatsoever, allowing you to deliver commands to Alexa from anywhere. You can’t say fairer than that. Here’s what you need to do to get up and running. Step 1: Install Roger app on your phone. The app can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play Store, depending on your smartphone of choice. Step 2: In the app, start by tapping on “Get Started”, followed by entering your name, and then tap on “That’s Me”. Step 3: On the next screen, tap the “+” icon, which will take you to the Conversation screen."

"text": "\"I'm no businessman, but I still think Amazon should just give its Fire TV devices away for free with a Prime membership. Maybe the retailer should throw in a Fire TV Stick for a one-year renewal, and the new Fire TV box, reviewed here, if you commit to two years of Prime. The Fire TV is designed, first and foremost, not to give you the streaming TV shows and movies you want from various providers like Netflix, Hulu and others, but to entice you to watch Amazon's own streaming content. As I trudged through Amazon's underbrush using the device's menu system, I half expected a video of a zombie to pop up and tell me about a half-price offer on The Walking Dead, Season 6, available now on Amazon Instant Video. This hard sell is embodied in the menus and search results, and it's one big reason reason I like other devices better, especially Roku. These days all streamers have mostly the same apps, but no other device pushes you harder than Amazon to use their respective video stores. Compared to Amazon, Apple TV has a relatively light touch promoting the i Tunes store, and Google's Chromecast and Android TV basically soft-pedal Google Play Movies and TV. I did say \"\"mostly\"\" the same apps. Apple and Google streamers lack a native Amazon app, which is why, according to Amazon, those devices were booted from the retailer's virtual shelves. If you own a lot of Amazon content or want to take full advantage of Prime streaming, Roku (which does have a native Amazon app) and Fire TV are your best bets among mainstream streamers."

If your question is referring to client-side (device-side) processing vs cloud processing I don’t have a diagram but can give a high-level explanation.1) Wake word processing (“Alexa”) is done on the device which is running a local process to detect this word.2) Once the wake word is triggered audio recording is triggered on the device and streamed to AWS (more specifically the Alexa Voice Service) where the content is processed and a skill is triggered. TLDR: The echo processes the “wake word”, audio recording/streaming, text-to-speech on the device (client-side). The speech-to-text, intent parsing, and skill triggering is all done on the server.

We’ve gone through hundreds and hundreds of models to estimate the value they offer for the price. We’ve also looked at their sales figures and the owner feedback they’ve garnered over time. Out of all the products we have considered during our research, the Roku 3 is the best as it is perfectly compatible with Android and i OS mobile operating systems and can be customized depending on your needs. The channel collection brought by the Roku 3 is next to incredible, and the neat thing about it is that it takes little to no time to install the device given that it works with all TVs equipped with an HDMI connection. Additionally, there’s a high chance you’ll appreciate the motion control offered by the device as it will allow you to do some serious gaming. If the Roku 3 is unavailable, you could also consider the Amazon Fire TV Stick with Alexa, as we have found it to be the second best option available for sale nowadays.

Admittedly, Vudu is rather neat in that it streams the movie and has a wider selection than is immediately available but $5.99 is way too high. I have a Walmart within 2 miles where can buy the Blu Ray for $10 and if they don't have it, Best Buy (also within 2 miles) will meet their price.

I too am just blown away at the high cost of HDX rentals in the face of readily available competition. Not only are these movies available for rental from a nearby Redbox or Blockbuster rental kiosk on Blu-Ray for only $1.50 per day, but there are coupon codes which are regularly released that will knock $1.00 off a BD rental, or give me a free SD rental. Toss Netflix streaming into the mix and I just can't justify ever using the service again unless I get a promo code tossed at me from Wal Mart with another purchase."

"text": "Top 10 Best Set Top Boxes & Cable TV Alternatives1.5K Views0 Shares2 Comments By Tucker Cummings Miller May 19, 2014 at 2:09pm (Getty)Finally ready to cut the cord and find an alternative to cable TV? Any of the following game consoles, set top boxes, or streaming media players are great cable TV alternatives. We’ll also let you know if these streaming media options include access to the “big three” streaming video apps: Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Instant Video.1. Apple TVCheck out an in-depth review of the Apple TV in the video above. The Apple TV is one of the “sleeper hits” of the set top box industry. Over the years, it’s quietly sold 20 million units. Thanks to a blend of intuitive menus and multiple types of streaming content, this set top box is appealing to technophiles and technophobes alike. In terms of working as a cable TV alternative, the Apple TV is somewhat limited in terms of channels that have live content. That being said, it does provide HBO Go…though of course you’ll need a cable subscription to use it. Unless, you know, you can share someone’s HBO Go password."

By Mark Hachman March 13, 2012 3:12PM ESTFacebook Twitter Linkedin Pinterest Reddit Email Copy In conjunction with five top Hollywood studios, Walmart unveiled a \"\"disc-to-digital\"\" service that will emphasize its own in-house cloud movie service, Vudu. For $2 per disc, a user will be able to bring an existing DVD or Blu-ray disc into Walmart, and customer-service representatives will make a digital copy of the disc - accessible via Vudu.com or a Vudu app, which is on 50 million devices and 300 unique products, according to Walmart. The service will launch at more than 3,500 Walmart stores on Monday, April 16, Walmart said. The $2 fee will apply to \"\"like-to-like\"\" transfers, such as a DVD-to-DVD quality conversion, or a Blu-ray to high-definition digital version. Users can also pay $5 to upgrade a DVD to store a high-definition version in the cloud, if available. Users can bring in discs they've purchased at other stores, and can keep their physical discs after the digital conversion is completed. Walmart's partners include Paramount Home Media Distribution, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, Universal Studios Home Entertainment and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. Disney was not part of the agreement, nor has it supported similar cloud-based services, like Ultra Violet. Why Walmart?"

"text": "Home Theater Ditch the bill, keep the remote with four cable-free DVRs for cord cutters By Mike Flacy — Posted on January 19, 2013 - 9:00AMWhen the topic of cord cutting comes up in conversation, one of the main objections to ditching pay-TV service is the accessibility of recorded content on DVR set-top boxes that were provided by cable and satellite companies. While streaming services provide immediate accessibility to specific programming, the ability to record live television using an antenna is basically lost unless the cord cutter invests in a new DVR solution for the home. The good news is that there are plenty of DVR options for the home theater that don’t require an investment in a home theater PC. While some tech-savvy consumers can definitely take advantage of free DVR recording using software like Windows Media Center or Eye TV on an HTPC, that route is generally more complex than the plug-and-play options available with set-top hardware. In addition, recent set-top DVR solutions are transitioning into the mobile space and will easily allow you to watch recorded shows on your smartphone and tablet while spending time away from home. Moving to a new DVR system within the home also allows consumers to stop paying additional rental fees for DVR hardware on their monthly cable or satellite bill. For instance, Time Warner Cable charges approximately $10 each month for each DVR box being used in a home around the Los Angeles area. If you are starting to think about cutting the cord to kick off 2013, or already cut the cord recently, take a look at this list of interesting DVR solutions that will help with the transition away from pay-TV:1. Simple. TVDrastically different than the traditional DVR set-top box, the folks behind Simple."

Otherwise, it’s pretty much the same as the cheaper model, which is a good thing. You get the user-friendly Roku OS; an RF remote works through walls and lets you search with voice and control your TV’s volume and turn the TV on and off; and the i OS or Android app lets you watch shows and movies with headphones to avoid disturbing others. Finally, it’s super-easy to set up and gets all the power it needs from your TV’s USB service port. It’s a fantastic update to what was already an excellent streaming device."

No longer is the business model as simple as cinema first, disc second; there's now a myriad of ways consumers can get their film fix from the sofa. Hollywood hasn't exactly been quick in offering consumers a 'one size fits all' approach to their movie buying needs but that's slowly changing with the introduction of Ultra Violet. It's a service that has the backing of 75 companies, with the hope that it will become the main method for consumers to own a movie. All these companies come under the umbrella of the DECE (Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem) consortium. The problem is: the idea has been around for some time. And we all know that something that's been mulled over for a long time is usually a sign that things are, well, problematic. When it comes to Ultra Violet, however, the idea is sound. But it's a long way from being a perfect execution. At its heart, Ultra Violet is a simple digital locker system."

MOV and MP4 are two file containers that are usually used to hold lossy video. Lossy video compression methods discard portions of the video data that it deems to be of less importance. The resulting video are substantially smaller while maintaining the quality loss at a minimum. MOV was originally developed by Apple as a file format for its Quick Time movie player. The MOV format presented a lot of advantages that are quite usable to everyday use but the proprietary nature of the MOV format was a major hindrance. The MP4 file format was later developed as an industry standard, the developments was greatly based on the MOV file format to the point that they were exactly identical at first. The changes that were introduced were very minor and mostly involved data tagging information. Since both formats record the same lossy compression methods, they are almost interchangeable in an Apple environment. You can even convert a file from MOV to MP4 and vice versa without having to re-encode the video."

There is limited support for Vorbis and FLAC enclosed in an Ogg container (files using the Ogg container format are not natively supported) or Speex codecs with the Xiph Quick Time Components. Because tag editing and album art is done within i Tunes and not Quick Time, these features will not work with these Quick Time components. As of Snow Leopard, i Tunes 9 (Mac) will play HE-AAC / AAC+ internet streams. The latest version of i Tunes (Win/Mac) supports importing audio CDs with the default i Tunes standard file format of AAC at 256 kbit/s, but users can choose from 16 kbit/s to 320 kbit/s constant bit rates (CBR) in either AAC or MP3. [ citation needed] Importing of audio CDs into MP3 or AAC formats can also be accomplished using variable bitrate (VBR) encoding."

The reason of people doing that is because all contents downloaded from BBC i Player are DRM protected. BBC i Player services apply Microsoft’s “Play for Sure” DRM system as copyright protection. After the contents are downloaded, they’ll be destroyed automatically after thirty days. Moreover, you can not play them other portable devices such as i Pad 4/3/2, i Pad Air 2, i Pad Mini 3, Surface Pro, Nexus 10/Nexus 9/ Nexus 7 /Nexus 6/Nexus 5/Nexus 4, Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition, Kindle Fire HD 8.9″/7″, Transformer Pad TF300, Black Berry Z10/Q10, etc., since it said “the technology is not compatible with any tablets, phones, or other media players”. So why they make so much limitations? Based on BBC i Player Conditions and terms No. 5 “in order to meet the BBC’s obligations to rights holders, the BBC will embedded downloadable BBC with digital rights management security. ”Now we knew that it is DRM (Digital Right Management) system restricts us for additional using of BBC i Player contents."

The Best Way to Convert MP4 to Windows Media Player Supported Formats to Solve \"\"Windows Media Won't Play MP4\"\"Jul 4, 2014, Updated by Andrew Smith Can Windows Media Player Play AVI Files? According to Microsoft Official Website, Windows Media Player does support playing AVI videos. If your Windows Media Player won't play AVI, two reasons cause the issue: Reason one: Windows Media Player doesn't support the video codec in AVI file. AVI (Audio Video Interleaved) is a container format designed by Microsoft, used to wrap audio and video streams together. These audio and video streams can be compressed by various codec. During the days AVI format comes into being, WMP supports all video codecs that can be used in AVI file. After that, more and more new codecs, like Xvid, Div X, MPEG-4, are invented and used in AVI file, but WMP doesn't support them. Reason Two: Your AVI files are corrupt.

According to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), influenza infections cause more than 200,000 hospitalizations and 36,000 deaths annually. In healthy adults, bronchitis and pneumonia (primary viral and secondary bacterial) are the most common complications of influenza. The elderly, patients with heart and lung disease, and immunocompromised patients (cancer patients, those with HIV infection, transplant patients, etc.) are particularly susceptible to influenza. Influenza infection causes damage to cells of the respiratory tract tissue which predisposes infected individuals to a secondary bacterial infection. Other complications of influenza infection include encephalitis and meningitis. Children are susceptible to complications such as inner ear infections (otitis media), viral pneumonia, secondary bacterial pneumonia, and Reye's syndrome, a potentially fatal complication that can be precipitated by aspirin therapy.

"text": "\"Benefits Retirees May Never See the Back Pay They're Due Tom Philpott55,000 'High-3' Retirees Due Back Pay Might Never See it Last November an independent audit of the Military Retirement Fund uncovered a \"\"significant deficiency\"\" in the way the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) has been calculating retired pay for about 15 percent of 370,000 retirees who are under a \"\" High-3\"\" retired pay formula. The result is that 55,500 retirees who first entered service on or after Sept. 8, 1980, have been getting a little less in retired pay than the law directs. That's because DFAS, for this High-3 generation, has not been applying a pay protection tool from 1975 called the \"\"Tower Amendment. \"\" If DFAS were to apply Tower protection retroactively, as auditors recommend, these retirees could expect a lump sum average payment of about $1000, the Congressional Budget Office reports. Individual amounts would vary base on time retired, with the largest payments going to those who retired in fall of 2000 with the first wave of \"\"High-3\"\" retirees. But if the Department of Defense has its way, DFAS will never have to make those payments. The House Armed Services Committee has included a provision in its fiscal 2014 defense authorization bill (HR 1960) that would revise the law so the Tower Amendment doesn't apply to High-3 retirees. If the full Congress agrees, DFAS would avoid having to make $60 million in retroactive payments, CBO explains in a June 13 cost analysis of the defense bill. And future retired pay for impacted High-3 retirees would forever be smaller than current law requires, by an average of $200 a year, saving the Military Retirement Fund more than $10 million annually. So what is the Tower Amendment?"

In: Technology 822 Comments For all Filipinos out there who are interested in applying for e Passport, renewing their expiring passport or replacing their missing passport, Department of Foreign Affairs is already imposing the appointment system for a while now. For readers who are not familiar or confused with this relatively new appointment system, continue reading. Basically, the appointment system is supposed to make passport application and renewal more efficient using the website www.passport.com.ph or by DFA hotline 737-1000. Placing an appointment online or by phone is FREE but there are passport fees which are payable later. Regular Processing: P950.00 (25 working days) Rush Processing: P1,200.00 (15 working days) Additional fee for lost passports that is still valid: P200.00 Delivery: P120 (optional)With the new system, it eliminates long queue because only applicants who have appointments can be admitted during the allotted time. If you applied for a Philippines passport before without the aid of travel agencies, you probably know how long the queue could be at the old DFA office. It saves time and keeps you away from enterprising fixers. To start with your appointment, it\\’s always recommended to carefully read the expectations. You should carefully read the procedures before proceeding and take note of these reminders: Fill-out the online forms and make sure all information are complete and correct, specially your email address because you will receive the printable form and reference number in your email.

DESIGNProspective trial and decision analysis. SETTINGLarge, urban, publicly funded sexually transmitted disease clinic. PARTICIPANTS1,384 female patients. METHODSEach subject was tested for Ct infection by direct fluorescent antibody (DFA, Sanofi/Kallestad, Chaska, MN), optical immunoassay (OIA, Thermo Electron, Point of Care and Rapid Diagnostics, Louisville CO), Mc Coy cell culture (in-house method), and polymerase chain reaction (microwell PCR, microwell assay, Roche, Branchburg NJ). RESULTSPerforming a rapid in-clinic test on women who did not meet empiric treatment criteria would have increased the overall proportion of infected persons receiving same-day treatment from 48.6% to 79.1% using DFA or 78.4% using OIA. CONCLUSIONSUse of empiric treatment criteria and same-day point-of-care testing for patients not meeting the empiric treatment threshold appears to be an appropriate, useful, and cost-effective strategy for increasing same-day treatment of Ct infections in this population. Chlamydia infections Sexually transmitted diseases Clinical laboratory techniques Point-of-care systems Previous Section Next Section INTRODUCTIONChlamydia trachomatis ( Ct) infection is the most common sexually transmitted disease (STD) in the United States. 1 It is an important cause of urethritis in men; in women it can cause cervicitis, salpingitis and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and may lead to ectopic pregnancy and infertility. 2 In many patients, signs and symptoms are absent."

"text": "\"What are the residency and filing requirements for a servicemember to file for a divorce? The state of New Jersey will allow a military member or a spouse to file for a divorce where he or she is stationed, even if neither the servicemember nor the spouse is a resident of New Jersey. New Jersey will often reduce or eliminate the residency requirement for military divorces. A servicemember or a spouse has a choice of the following three states in which to file for a divorce: The state where the spouse resides. The state where the servicemember is stationed. The state where the servicemember claims legal residency. This is where the servicemember's home state, or where he or she plans to live after discharge or retirement. In my experience military divorce cases and child support disputes can become extremely convoluted. In a typical military divorce, the parties are divorced in the county court where the military base is located. Almost invariably, both spouses move back to their home state, or the servicemember is transferred to another base out of state."

Some of the more common ones are that the student's financial aid award does not match the number of credit hours he/she actually enrolled in, there are still outstanding requirements such as a Promissory Note or Loan Entrance Counseling that have not been completed, or there has been a hold placed on the student's account. Please contact a financial aid counselor at [email protected], 765-494-5050, or visit our office in Schleman Hall Room 305 to find out the specific reason for your account.2. When is the bill due? What happens if I can't cover the bill by that time? A. The semester bill is always due on the first day of class. The bill either needs to be paid in full, or the first payment of the Installment Plan (minimum of 25% of remaining balance). If the bill is not paid by that time, the student';s classes may be subject to cancellation."

S Department of Defense, the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) is responsible for administering finance and accounting services for the military and other members of Defense. The agency provides services primarily for (military) service men and women, or “warfighters”—including processing military, civilian, retiree, travel and contract/vendor pay, and managing military health care and benefits. DFAS also provides accounting for the Department itself (e.g., of appropriations).more History: The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) was created by the Secretary of Defense in 1991 in an effort to streamline, cut costs and improve quality in Department of Defense finance and accounting operations through consolidation and standardization of procedures. In May 1994, after several false starts, the Do D announced that the DFAS would begin consolidating its finance and accounting infrastructure in fiscal year 1995, and was successful in consolidating more than 300 installation-level finance and accounting offices into 26, and reducing a workforce of 27,000 to 16,000 personnel. The agency is customer-financed (working capital fund agency financed by reimbursement of operating costs from its governmental customers—mostly the military service departments) rather than funded through direct Senate appropriations. Base Closure and Realignment Commission (BRAC) reorganizations, especially those done in 2005, have had a dramatic effect on the DFAS, eliminating the majority of small sites in a major consolidation effort. See Controversy Section.more What it Does: The world’s largest finance and accounting operation, the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) supports the OUSD (C)—the principal adviser to the Secretary of Defense for budgetary and fiscal matters. The agency is responsible for coordination and collaboration with all civilian defense agencies, the military services and “combatant commands that provide warfighting capabilities for America's defense. ”The agency is responsible for all Do D payment operations, maintains the records of all those compensated for military service, and administers services such as wage garnishment—often as a means of paying child support. In FY 2011, the DFAS processed 171.7 million pay transactions pertaining to 6.6 million individuals and accounts."

"text": "\"Staying Healthy DHA Health Benefits in Pregnancy By Cathy Wong, ND | Reviewed by Richard N. Fogoros, MDUpdated September 12, 2017Share Pin Email Print: Eric Audras/ ONOK/ Getty Images DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is an omega-3 fatty acid often recommended for women during pregnancy. Thought to protect against a number of pregnancy-related complications, DHA is also said to promote the health of the developing child. Found in cold-water oily fish and in seaweed, DHA is also widely available in supplement form. In addition, the body naturally produces small amounts of DHA. Uses for DHA in Pregnancy DHA is thought to prevent certain health problems associated with pregnancy, such as preeclampsia. In addition, DHA is often touted as a natural means of preventing miscarriage and early delivery. Some women also take DHA during pregnancy to reduce their risk of postpartum depression. Since DHA is essential for neurological and visual development, women commonly take DHA during pregnancy to ensure that the developing child gets a sufficient amount of DHA. Benefits of DHA During Pregnancy Here's a look at key findings from studies on the use of DHA during pregnancy:1) Developing Children So far, studies on the maternal use of DHA and its benefits for the developing child have yielded mixed results. For instance, in a 2011 study published in Pediatrics, researchers found that consuming DHA during pregnancy helped protect babies from illness in early infancy."

The best time to review your nutritional status to make appropriate changes is prior to conception. A very important time of fetal development is during the first several weeks of pregnancy when many women may not even realize they are pregnant. The nutritional changes that should occur prior to pregnancy must be individualized based on your medical status, weight and eating habits. Pregnancy is one time in life when weight gain is not only desirable, but also encouraged. Recommended weight gain may depend on a number of factors, including pre-pregnancy weight. You might also expect to gain more if you are carrying multiple babies. Your health care provider can help you determine what a reasonable weight gain is for you. The American Academy of Family Physicians is a good resource for even more information. Many babies can weigh 7 lbs-8 lbs."

"text": "Prenatal vitamins: A review of the literature on benefits and risks of various nutrient supplements January 31, 2013 By Anna K. Sfakianaki, MD, MPHMost pregnant women take a daily prenatal vitamin, but advising the patient can be difficult because so many different formulations are available. Prenatal vitamins generally contain a variety of vitamins and minerals and may be similar to multivitamins used outside of pregnancy, with some notable differences. Some of these vitamins have been studied directly (eg, folic acid), and their recommended allowance comes from sound evidence. But for most vitamins, data are limited, and for multivitamins (also referred to as multimicronutrient supplements), study results can be biased by confounding variables. This article reviews the evidence in support of supplemental vitamin use during pregnancy. The discussion focuses primarily on data retrieved from the developed world, because the nutritional challenges of the developing world are distinct. GENERAL NUTRITION REQUIREMENTS DURING PREGNANCYPregnancy represents a time of rapid change in maternal physiology and nutritional requirements. These changes allow the mother to meet the needs of the growing fetus and placenta and occur within weeks of the establishment of pregnancy. Dietary recommendations during pregnancy have focused on maintaining adequate caloric intake while avoiding substances that may harm the growing fetus. A particular focus on micronutrients during pregnancy has led to specific recommendations regarding nutrients such as calcium, folic acid, and iron."

When considering the cost of Wild Alaska Salmon vs the Farmed Atlantic Salmon that you can get in your local grocery store, keep in mind the true value of what you're buying. Given the sky-rocketing cost of health care and pharmaceutical drugs, what is the value of optimum health? How much would you pay for improved heart, brain, eye and immune system health for you and your children? Wild Pacific Salmon products contain: NO added chemicals -including those that may be administered prior to harvest. No artificial coloring No preservatives No pesticides No growth hormones No antibiotics No GMOs Fresh Wild Alaska Salmon is an extremely powerful \"\"anti-aging\"\" food for your heart and brain. Researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston studied 11 years worth of data on the dietary habits and health of 20,551 male physicians, aged 40-84 years, found that those who ate seafood containing the n-3 fatty acid at least once a week had a 52% lower risk of sudden cardiac death compared to those who ate Wild Salmon less than once a month. Omega-3s inhibit the formation of blood clots. This is important because most heart attacks result when blood clots get stuck together in the blood vessels leading to the heart. They may prevent heartbeat abnormalities, thereby protecting against sudden cardiac arrest, a major cause of death from heart disease."

"text": "\"Tweet It's no secret that long-term diet and nutrition choices have an effect on the way we look and feel; but new studies show that nutrition can also affect the way we think. As it turns out, there really is such a thing as “food for thought. ”It may seem strange that what we put in our stomachs can have such a powerful effect on what goes on in our minds, but research is increasingly showing that emotional, mental and psychiatric disorders like depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia may more likely be the result of dietary deficiencies than genetic predispositions. The same is true of people who struggle with memory loss, have trouble learning new tasks, have Alzheimer’s disease or simply suffer from a lot of blue moods. The dietary deficiency that tends to frequently show up in these patients is a lack of omega-3 oils -- abundant fatty acids found in cold-water fish like salmon, herring and cod. Omega-3s and brain health The omega-3 fatty acid known as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an important ingredient for optimal brain function. Earl Mindell, RPh Ph D, writes in Earl Mindell's Supplement Bible, “There's a reason why fish is known as brain food. It is a rich source of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a fatty acid that is found in high concentration in the gray matter of the brain. DHA is instrumental in the function of brain cell membranes, which are important for the transmission of brain signals.” By making cell membranes more fluid, omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA, improve communication between the brain cells, according to Mind Boosters author Dr. Ray Sahelia."

"text": "Deposit Photo Protein is the cover girl of nutrients these days, getting raves from many successful dieters. Since you know weight-loss diets are downright dangerous for expectant moms and their babies, you need to appreciate protein during pregnancy on a deeper level — for the brain power behind the beauty. Protein is made up of the amino acids that build your baby's adorable face and every cell below it. At 37 weeks pregnant, your baby's brain, in particular, needs these raw materials to transform itself into the wondrous organ that will help your baby breathe, walk, talk, and gleefully flush your car keys down the toilet in the years to come. During pregnancy, you need three servings of protein every day (the equivalent of about 75 grams). Most people have no trouble reaching this goal (especially if they've spent any time on the low-carb bandwagon), although if you're having a vegetarian or vegan pregnancy you may have to work a little harder to find good sources of protein. Getting your full protein quota is never more important than it is during this final trimester, when your baby's brain is developing fast and furiously — but it's also a great time to up your intake of good protein sources that are extra high in omega-3 fatty acids, like DHA (another must-have nutrient when it comes to baby brains — plus, one that's known to lower your risk of postpartum depression ). Get protein during pregnancy from all of these foods, but the starred (*) ones are especially good sources of protein for their DHA star power: Lean meat Grass-fed lean meat Poultry Fish* (fatty fish, like wild salmon, anchovies, and sardines contain the most brain-boosting fatty acids, but all fish have some.

The Effects of Taking Fish Oil Gelcaps Consuming fish oil from fatty fish or fish oil supplements may provide you with some significant health benefits. According to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, fish oil and other omega-3 supplements are the most common natural products taken by U. S. adults. Despite the many benefits of fish oil, it may also come with some risks so check with your doctor before taking it. Heart Disease Prevention Consuming fish oil on a regular basis may help protect you from getting heart disease, according to a review published in a 2012 edition of “Current Atherosclerosis Reports.” Authors of this review suggest that fish oil can help lower high triglyceride levels and reduce mortality rates in patients with congestive heart failure. Medline Plus reports that taking a specific 1-gram fish oil capsule containing 375 milligrams of DHA plus 465 milligrams of EPA daily may help reduce triglyceride levels by up to 50 percent. A study published in a 2007 edition of the “American Journal of Clinical Nutrition” reports that fish oil lowered triglycerides, increased the good high-density lipoprotein, or HDL, cholesterol and improved overall cardiovascular health in overweight subjects. Effects on Body Fat Some studies show that consuming fish oil may help reduce body fat, especially when combined with exercise."

More recently, Calamari Oil has burst onto the scene claiming to be a superior product. Whilst the health benefits of the omega-3 fatty acids found in both oils have been known since the 1970’s (when scientists first discovered that a diet heavy in fish resulted in lower incidence of heart disease in Greenland), there is now some confusion as to how to best get your daily dose of omega-3. We take a look at which is better – fish oil vs calamari oil. What is Calamari Oil Calamari Oil is a new source of omega-3 fatty acid which supports your heart, brain and eyes. Calamari Oil also contains more omega-3 than fish oil and krill oil combined, and is ecologically sustainable. It is extremely high in omega-3 DHA, which has benefits for many parts of the body including brain, eye, heart, nervous system and more. High DHAThere is little debate that calamari oil is richer in omega-3 DHA than fish oil or krill oil. And there is a growing body of research that confirms omega-3 fatty acids as essential for numerous aspects of human health. Several established facts are already well known include: Omega-3 fatty acids can’t be synthesised by the human body and must be provided from the diet Omega-3 fatty acids are a structural element in all tissues of the body Omega 3-fatty acids are highly concentrated in the brain, eyes, nervous system and other vital organs Several molecules from omega-3 alleviate inflammation Researchers have been able to identify the specific action of these fatty acids and have proven that DHA or docosahexaenoic acid is the preferred omega-3 for:growth and development (Approximately 60% of the human brain is made up of fats, of this 40% of it is DHA. )"

It is found in a variety of foods such as avocados, egg and dairy, nuts, seeds and meat. However, fatty cold water fish like tuna, salmon and halibut, are by far the best sources for omega-3s. You can also get a concentrated dosage of essential nutrient by taking fish oil supplements. DHA and EPAThe most biologically valuable of the omega-3 fatty acids are DHA and EPA. They are naturally produced by deep sea microalgae. Fish and other animals that ingest these microalgae accumulate these nutrients in their fatty tissues. Although your body can convert limited amounts of vegetarian omega-3 into DHA and EPA, these nutrients are much better absorbed if you acquire them directly through fish or fish oil.

"text": "DHA and Pregnancy You really are what you eat. Prior and throughout pregnancy, nutrition plays a major role not only in your health as an expectant mother, but also in the health of your unborn baby. Years ago, a healthy pregnancy meant following a diet rich in essential perinatal nutrients such as folic acid and calcium. But the latest science demands another important nutrient be added to that diet: DHA, docosahexaenoic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid. DHA is brain nutrition. It's to our brains as calcium is to our bones. In fact, optimal infant brain and eye development and function depends on it. * Throughout life, we all need DHA – it's one of the good fats in our bodies. Its job is to go straight to the tissues, like those in the brain, to keep them functioning to the best of their ability. On average, pregnant and nursing women in the U. S. consume 60-80 mg of DHA a day, from food and drink, which is only 20-25% of the recommended intake. *"

The alterations result in changes in a person's ability to function normally. Stroke is sometimes termed a brain attack or a cardiovascular accident (CVA). It is much like a heart attack, only it occurs in the brain. Strokes are usually caused by brain vessel blockage or bleeding into the brain tissue; both causes result in an inability for an individual to function normally, but there are ways to treat and prevent or reduce the development of strokes. Do not wait or hesitate to call for emergency medical help for someone suffering a stroke. If a stroke is suspected, call 9-1-1; fast treatment has the potential to make a big difference in outcome and recovery. Two main causes of stroke are clotting in an artery that supplies blood to the brain (ischemic stroke), and bleeding into the brain tissue, often from a defect in a blood vessel in the brain ( hemorrhagic stroke); mini strokes ( TIA 's) are usually temporary ischemic strokes that quickly resolve. Ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes often cause permanent losses while a variant of ischemic type of stroke causes transient function loss (termed mini strokes or transient ischemic attacks). Symptoms of stroke includeweakness in the arm or leg or both on one side of the body,weakness in the muscles of the face, problems speaking,coordination problems,dizziness and/or loss of consciousness;some individuals may experience a sudden headache, but most patients have no pain."

"text": "Carotid Artery Disease What is carotid artery disease? The carotid arteries are the main blood vessels that carry blood and oxygen to the brain. When these arteries become narrowed, it’s called carotid artery disease. It may also be called carotid artery stenosis. The narrowing is caused by atherosclerosis. This is the buildup of fatty substances, calcium, and other waste products inside the artery lining. Carotid artery disease is similar to coronary artery disease, in which buildup occurs in the arteries of the heart and can cause a heart attack. Carotid artery disease reduces the flow of oxygen to the brain. The brain needs a constant supply of oxygen to work. Even a brief pause in blood supply can cause problems."

And the key feature of an acute stroke is that it starts suddenly and without warning. Overview An acute stroke is an unexpected stroke. Yet few people 'expect' to have a stroke. Sometimes, however a stroke can develop slowly, taking hours to reach its peak. Other times a stroke can begin and then resolve and may continue to get better or worse over a few hours or days. An acute stroke or a slowly developing stroke both need urgent medical attention and care. Causes An acute stroke can be either ischemic or hemorrhagic. Ischemic Stroke During an ischemic stroke, the blood supply to a region of the brain is cut off because a blood vessel has been blocked by a blood clot."

[ 1] Although the tendency is to make the assumption that a seizure and epilepsy are medical problems more common to the young, Sirven provided data and clinical case examples to demonstrate that seizure is increasingly common in older adults. [ 2]The increased incidence of seizure in the elderly population is because seizure is a symptom of other common medical problems in older adults, including stroke, brain tumor, or head trauma. Unfortunately, due to biased beliefs and the multiple health problems seen in older adults, seizure is often missed as a diagnosis. Evaluating Seizure in Older Adults Nonepileptic seizures (NES) are a frequent problem in elderly patients. Compared with a younger control group, physiologic and psychogenic NES are equally frequent in the elderly. Unlike seizures in children that originate from temporal lobe foci, seizures in older adults tend to be from frontal or parietal lobe foci. These seizures tend to be more focal motor and sensory. These individuals generally present with an altered mental state, staring, blackouts, and confusion. In addition, it is not unusual for an older adult to have a simple partial seizure and present with numbness in a hand or leg. ["

Go to: Abstract Transient global amnesia usually affects patients between the ages of 40 and 80. Patients with this condition are often described – wrongly – as being confused. It presents classically with an abrupt onset of severe anterograde amnesia. It is usually accompanied by repetitive questioning. The patient does not have any focal neurological symptoms. Patients remain alert, attentive, and cognition is not impaired. However, they are disoriented to time and place. Attacks usually last for 1–8 h but should be less than 24 h. It is possible that it may result from different mechanisms such as venous congestion with valsalva-like activities before symptom onset, arterial thromboembolic ischaemia and vasoconstriction due to hyperventilation. Diagnosis may be made safely in the presence of a characteristic collateral history."

Most mini-strokes occur when an embolism or thrombosis leads to a blood clot blocking a blood vessel in or near the brain. Stenosis (a severe narrowing of an artery) can also be a cause of mini-strokes. What Is the Cause of Mini-Strokes? A transient ischemic attack (also known as a TIA or \"\" mini-stroke \"\") is caused by a temporary lack of oxygen- or nutrient-rich blood to a part of the brain. This lack of blood flow occurs because a blood vessel becomes severely narrowed or blocked. The cause of mini-strokes is the same as that of an ischemic stroke ( see Stroke Causes ). The difference between a stroke and a mini-stroke involves duration. By definition, stroke symptoms last for at least 24 hours, while a mini-stroke often lasts less than 30 minutes. A blood vessel in the brain may become severely narrowed or blocked in several different ways."

MAN is used to combine into a network group located in different buildings into a single network. The diameter of such a network can range from 5 to 50 kilometers. As a rule, MAN does not belong to any particular organization, in most cases, a group of users or a provider who takes charge for the service own its connecting elements and other equipment. Level of service is agreed in advance and some warranties are discussed. MAN often acts as a high-speed network to allow sharing regional resources (like a big LAN).

It is occasionally known as the Department of Defense (Do D) model, because the development of the networking method was funded by the United States Department of Defense through DARPA. The Internet protocol suite provides end-to-end data communication specifying how data should be packetized, addressed, transmitted, routed, and received. This functionality is organized into four abstraction layers which classify all related protocols according to the scope of networking involved. [ 1] [2] From lowest to highest, the layers are the link layer, containing communication methods for data that remains within a single network segment (link); the internet layer, providing internetworking between independent networks; the transport layer handling host-to-host communication; and the application layer, which provides process-to-process data exchange for applications.

After a drawing is made others can add their expertise and ideas. These thoughts can then be translated into an aluminum or steel part. When an aircraft is designed, detailed drawings of every single part are made on translucent vellum or Mylar. Once the drawings are made, they are sent to the reproduction department. Here, copies are printed by a process called blueprinting, where the black lines from the translucent vellum or Mylar are printed as blue lines on paper. Every aircraft drawing is numbered so that a careful record is maintained. This way, if any changes are required, the information is passed on to affected personnel who incorporate the changes into the parts as they are built. DRAWINGS Typically, all aircraft factories have a drawing room manual that details all lines, symbols, and conventions used by that company. However, in an effort to establish an industry standard, applications for aircraft drawings have been standardized."

"text": "How to Install a Hardwired Smoke Alarm – Part 2Posted by Bob Jackson | Smoke Alarms | 98The hardwired smoke alarms were never connected to an AC power circuit. A new metal junction box is installed and the existing smoke alarms are wired to a continuous non-switched circuit for power. The new smoke alarms are then wired and installed. This project is continued from How to Install a Hardwired Smoke Alarm – Part 1. How to Install a Hardwired Smoke Alarm The smoke alarms in my house are 10 years old and will be replaced with new Kidde/Firex® Dual Sensor ( Ionization and Photoelectric) 120VAC powered hardwired alarms with battery backup. I chose the Consumer Reports #1 rated Kidde PI2010 alarm that sells for about $30. See the PI2010 User Manual for detailed installation and operation instructions: Install a Kidde/FIREX Smoke Alarm Model # PI2010The alarm includes the 9 volt battery – a nice touch to get started. Update: Kidde PI2010 and PI9010 Recall The U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall notice on March 21, 2018 for units manufactured between 2016 Sep. 10 through 2017 Oct. 13.

The primary form is called the main form, and the form that is enclosed in form is called the subform. A form/subform combination is sometimes referred to as a hierarchical form, a master/detail form, or a parent/child form. Subforms are especially effective when you want to show data from tables or queries that have a one-to-many relationship. A one-to-many relationship is an association between two tables in which the primary key value of each record in the primary table corresponds to the value in the matching field or fields of many records in the related table."

Obviously (well, perhaps not so obvious - see section 5 ), the light from these objects needed billions of years to reach us, and therefore the universe has to be billions of years old. But many people don't know how the distances to astronomical objects can be measured and think there may be something wrong with the methods of the scientists, that perhaps all objects we see in the sky are no farther away than some thousand light years, and hence the YECs could be right anyway. Therefore, in this FAQ, I will try to explain the methods which are used in astronomy, and try to answer some of the standard objections raised by YECs. I will concentrate on the best-known and most used methods; more information can be found e.g. at Stellar Astronomy and The ABC's of Distances.b) General outline For measuring distances to astronomical objects, one uses a kind of \"\"ladder\"\" of different methods; each method goes only to a limited distance, and each method which goes to a larger distance builds (in general, but not always) on the data of the method (s) before. The starting point is knowing the distance from the earth to our sun; this distance is called one astronomical unit (AU) and is roughly 150 million kilometers. I think that even YECs agree on this number, hence I don't discuss here where one gets it from. ( Need I mention that one has to accept the heliocentric model, too? )"

"text": "PROCESS APPROACHISO 9001 2015 section 0.3 expects organizations to adopt a process approach and section 5.1.1 asks top management to exercise leadership by promoting an awareness of this approach. But what is it? The process approach is a management strategy. When managers use a process approach, it means that they manage and control the processes that make up their organizations, the interactions between these processes, and the inputs and outputs that tie these processes together. It also means that they manage these process interactions as a system. When this approach is applied to quality management, it means that they manage processes and process interactions as a coherent process-basedquality management system. PROCESS DEFINITIONA process is a set of activities that are interrelated or that interact with one another. Processes use resources to transform inputs into outputs. They are interconnected because the output from one process often becomes the input for another process. Since all of this is rather abstract, we’ll try to make it more concrete with examples."

But it hasn’t always been an easy thing to do well. The introduction of Smart Art graphics in the Microsoft Office 2007 took business graphics much further by enabling users to create beautiful, high-quality diagrams virtually just by typing a bulleted list. In Microsoft Office 2010 (and Microsoft Office for Mac 2011), there are over 100 built-in Smart Art layouts for different kinds of diagrams that users can create. But your company might have branding requirements that require something different from the layout options that are provided—or users might need a kind of diagram that does not exist among the built-in layouts. Fortunately, Smart Art graphics are extensible, so you can help users create exactly the content they need. Use Office Open XML to customize any of the built-in Smart Art layouts or create completely custom layouts for your users. In this article, examine the construction of a Smart Art diagram from the front and back ends, and walk through the core basics of creating a custom Smart Art layout from scratch."

"text": "This section focuses on the attributes of fire — including fire intensity and ignition taxonomy — and how to measure these attributes. Fire intensity The most important measure of fire behaviour is fire intensity. Fire intensity (I) represents the heat released per meter of fire front (k W/m of fire front). It is a function of (1) heat yield of fuel (kilojoules/kg), (2) amount of fuel per unit area (kg/m 2) and (3) the rate of forward spread of fire front (km/h). This relationship is described by Byram’s fire intensity equation: I = Hwr where, I = intensity (k W/m) H = heat yield of fuel (J/g) w= fuel consumed (kg/m 2) r = spread (m/sec)It is important when calculating intensity to pay attention to the units of measurement to ensure calculations are correct. Flame height can also be a useful indicator of intensity. Although the following table is for open forests in southern Australia, it illustrates how fire intensity and flame height can be related. Fire intensities and mean flame heights for fires in open forests of Eucalyptus spp. ( sourced from Cheney 1981). Rating Fire Intensity k Wm 2Max Flame Height m Remarks Low < 500 1.5 Upper limit recommended for fuel-reduction burning Moderate 501 - 3000 6.0 Scorch of complete crown in most forests High 3000 - 7000 15.0 Crown fires in low forest types – spotting > 2 km Very High 7000 - 70000 > 15.0 Crown fire in most forest types – fire storm condition at upper intensities Rate of spread is the hardest part of the three to measure, but it can be measured in the field using an experimental set-up that will be explained below."

"text": "\"FAQWhat does the ‘frequency’ refer to? Most geodesic domes you see are variations of 'icosahedrons'. All the sonostar domes are derived from icsosahedrons and they all have 6 pentagons built into a design of primarily hexagons that help contribute to the geometric ‘roundness’. If you were given the problem of making a sphere out of nothing but triangles, you would find that the smaller the triangles, the more spherical your model would look. Given the same sized sphere, the smaller the triangles, the more of them there would be. That’s the basic idea around frequency. An easy way to determine the frequency of a dome is to count the poles/struts that connect the centers of the pentagons. So if you start at the top of a geodesic dome and go down toward the next pentagon, you can count the poles from center to center and that will tell you what the frequency is. As the frequency number goes higher, the complexity and number of connectors and struts in the dome also increases. So in a frequency 3 dome, there are three poles between the centers of the pentagons."

"text": "Landscape Irrigation Equipment Part 8: Piping Prepared by W. Bryan Smith, Area Extension Agent, Agricultural Engineer, Clemson University. ( New 5/08. ) HGIC 1817Printer Friendly Version (PDF)There are many types of piping available – CPVC, PVC, galvanized iron, and polyethylene just to name a few. The two piping types most commonly used for irrigation systems are white PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and “black roll pipe ” (polyethylene). PVC Pipe PVC is generally the piping of choice in the Southern region. It is easy to work with, inexpensive, and quite common. PVC comes in a number of varieties, but the two used for landscape irrigation are Schedule 40 and 160 psi “ pressure-rated” (or PR160) piping. Both of these PVC types will work well for landscape irrigation systems. Schedule 40 piping has a slightly thicker wall than PR160 in sizes below 6 inches in diameter and can withstand higher pressures, but the thicker wall also means that Schedule 40 is slightly more expensive and that there will be more pressure lost to friction. Schedule 40 is somewhat more forgiving if installed in rocky ground."

Users started to call the pipe as 2inch, 4inch, 6inch pipe and so on. To begin, each pipe size was produced to have one thickness, which later was termed as standard (STD) or standard weight (STD. WT.). The outside diameter of the pipe was standardized. As the industrial requirements handling higher pressure fluids, pipes were manufactured with thicker walls, which has become known as an extra strong (XS) or extra heavy (XH)."

Wall Thickness Pressure Rating Application & Use Color Thickness of Walls Schedule 40 PVC fittings have a thinner wall than the Schedule 80 PVC fittings. It is important to know that Sch 40 & 80 fittings will have the same inside diameters but different outside diameters. However, the opposite is true for PVC pipe in which the outside diameters are the same. Pressure Rating (PSI Rating)Schedule 80 PVC fittings are designed to handle higher water pressures than the Schedule 40 fittings. Application and Use Generally, Sch 40 PVC fittings are used for residential and home applications. Water pressures in residential areas do not normally exceed the maximum tolerance for the Sch 40 fittings. However, commercial and agricultural applications operate at a much higher PSI and would require the use of Sch 80 pipe and fittings. Color Difference The difference in color is the most recognized difference in the two types of fittings. Normally, manufacturers will use white PVC for the SCH 40 fittings and gray PVC when making the SCH 80 fittings."

"text": "New GMAW Options Offer Increased Productivity for Pipe Fab Shops Print Article New modified short circuit and advanced pulsed MIG/GMAW technology increases pipe welding productivity, improves quality and eases training. Until recently, pipe fabrication shops had only a few processes to choose from when performing root passes. GTAW, with its slow travel speed (2 to 4 i.p.m. ), has the potential for high quality welds but requires a highly skilled operator. SMAW has a faster travel speed of 5 to 8 i.p.m. but requires the welder to chip slag and grind between passes. Traditional short circuit GMAW is a third choice, but many pipe fabricators avoid it altogether for the root pass because of the skill required to produce code-quality welds. Before Farmer & Irwin switched from SMAW to a new modified short circuit GMAW process, one pipe fitter and welder could bevel and tack weld enough pipe to keep two or more welders busy. Now one welder keeps two fitters busy. However, modified or “regulated” short circuit processes offer a viable option."

"text": "Different pipes carry water to and from your toilet, and each pipe has a different diameter. If you plan to install your own toilet, you have to know which size pipe to use for each plumbing route. While there is some leeway in the size of pipe used for your toilet, it is always best to stick with the standards for a smooth installation. Toilet pipes come in certain standard sizes. Drain Pipe The drain pipe in your toilet carries waste away into the home's main drain line. The standard size for a toilet drain pipe is 3 inches in diameter, but drains up to 4 inches in diameter are often used. The drain pipe connects to the flange, which mounts the toilet itself, and this flange is usually built to connect to 3-inch, schedule 40 toilet drain pipe. In most homes, PVC drain pipe is used instead of metal pipe. Water Supply The supply line to the toilet is standard 1/2-inch copper pipe. This standard is used throughout the home to supply faucets, showers and any other appliance requiring water, including the washing machine."

"text": "\"The following is an overview of how tube and pipe size is measured and handled. OD and Nominal Pipe Size Tubing is measured by the OUTSIDE DIAMETER (O. D.), specified in inches (e.g., 1.250) or fraction of an inch (eg. 1-1/4″). Pipe is usually measured by NOMINAL PIPE SIZE (NPS). Although it is related to the outside diameter, it is significantly different. For example, a 1-1/2″ pipe size actually has an outside diameter of 1.9″ NOT 1.5″. The table below cross-references the nominal dimension of a PIPE with its actual outside diameter. For sizes from 1/8-inch through 12-inch, the NPS corresponds to the nominal inside diameter, but differs somewhat from its actual inside diameter. Early pipe manufacturers made the walls in the smaller sizes much too thick, and in correcting this error in design, they took the excess from the inside to avoid changing the sizes of the companion fittings. For sizes larger than 12-inch, NPS corresponds to the actual outside diameter. For each nominal pipe size, the outside diameter (O. D.) remains relatively constant; the variations in wall thickness affect only the inside diameter (I. D.)."

All of these pipes or tubes may burst at higher pressures. Temperate Areas (ground doesn’t freeze in winter)Rocky Soil: Is your ground very rocky, so that it would be impossible to keep rocks larger than 2″ diameter from contacting the pipe? If “yes” consider using PEX tubing for you mainline. Normal soil: If ground is not rocky consider using SCH 40 PVC pipe for your mainline. If pipe larger than 2″ is needed use Cl 315 PVC pipe. Frost Areas (ground freezes at least a couple inches deep in winter. ) If your static water pressure is less than 60 PSI the use of 125 PSI rated poly tube may be sufficient if cost is a major issue."

Wikipedia has a Nominal Pipe Size Table (and the article goes into the description of the size and the why behind them). From this article http://www.ehow.com/facts_5575151_difference-between-schedule-schedule-pipe.html: For a relatively constant pipe outside diameter, the wall thickness varies from Schedule 10 (light) to Schedule 40 (standard weight) to Schedule 80 (extra strong) to Schedule 160 (double extra strong). Schedule 40 pipe is typically used in construction. However, if a stronger pipe is needed, then Schedule 80 can be used. An example where Schedule 80 should be considered is if the pipe is exposed during construction."

Commonly-used sizes are 1/⁄8, 1/⁄4, 3/⁄8, 1⁄/2, 3⁄/4, 1, 1 1⁄/4, 1 1⁄/2, and 2 inch, appearing on pipes and fittings by most U. S. suppliers. Sizes smaller than 1/⁄8 inch are occasionally used for compressed air, while sizes larger than 2 inches are uncommon, due to the use of alternative methods of joining that are used with these larger sizes. NPT is defined by ANSI/ASME standard B1.20.1. Nominal Pipe Size is loosely related to the inside diameter of Schedule 40 pipe. Because of the pipe wall thickness, the actual diameter of the threads is larger than the NPS, considerably so for small NPS. Other schedules of pipe have different wall thickness but the OD (outer diameter) and thread profile remain the same, so the inside diameter of the pipe is therefore different from the nominal diameter.

MATERIALS AND TOOLS Available on Amazon – Box material (e.g., 4 x 4 or 2 x 6 pressuretreated lumber) – Fasteners (galvanized screws, spikes, or rebar, depending on your box material) – Circular saw (or another cutting tool appropriate for your lumber) – Play sand – Stakes (included with your horseshoe set; alternatively, use 1-inch diameter rebar at least 24 inches in length) – Sledgehammer – Shovel (optional) – Landscaping fabric (optional)DIRECTIONSSTEP 1: Measure Your Space In a “regulation” pit, horseshoe pit dimensions require stakes be exactly 40 feet apart. Those stakes should sit within a box that—while at least 31 by 43 inches—measures no larger than 36 by 72 inches. Advertisement Common horseshoe pit dimensions for backyard play is 36 by 48 inches. You can make only one box, but horseshoes technically involves two boxes: one for stakes and one for pitching. So in all, a 48-by-6-foot rectangular area must be set aside for the game."

Operators will invest in new slot-machine products and may expand the number of restaurants in the facility. They’re also more open to building an on-site hotel. “We don’t go into these businesses to stand pat or be caretakers,” said Matt Cullen, CEO of Jack Entertainment LLC in Detroit. “ We want to continue to grow and provide opportunities for our team members and guests. So, we’re going to keep our eyes open and make investments where it makes sense to achieve those goals. ”Cullen runs the former Rock Gaming companies owned by Quicken Loans founder Dan Gilbert, including Horseshoe casinos in Cincinnati and Cleveland and the Greek Town Casino-Hotel in Detroit.

The game has many variations, and may be called washer pitching, washer toss, washers, huachas or washoes (which is based on the similarity to horseshoes). [ 1]A player tosses a washer during a tournament in Indiana. The object of the game is to earn points by tossing metal washers, usually around two inches in diameter, and 1/8 inch thick, toward a hole, usually denoted by a can or PVC pipe, known as the cooter, often in a box. [ 2] Washer pits and boxes vary in size and shape, but a standard for one-hole washers is 16 in × 16 in × 4 in, with a cylindrically-shaped cup (4½ inches in diameter and 5 inches in height) located in its upper surface. Boxes are placed approximately 20 feet away from each other, a distance often determined by a string attached to the front of each box."

"text": "© roc8jas / Getty Images Chances are your life has benefitted from these ancient creatures. Adam Campbell-Schmitt April 14, 2017You know horseshoe crabs, they’re the prehistoric arthropods that have been around since before the dinosaurs and yet still walk among us. That is, if you’re walking on the seafloor. They’ve also served as inspiration for Hollywood creature designers, most famously for the face-hugger critters in the Alien movies. They’re not really meaty, but you can eat their roe, which apparently tastes like briny rubber. Okay, so we don’t have much use for these buggers. Or do we? As it turns out, horseshoe crabs have probably saved your life. To be more accurate, horseshoe crab blood has likely prevented you from being on the receiving end of harmful bacteria like E. coli due to a unique property integral in keeping these creatures around for about 450 million years. Horseshoe crabs have blue blood, not because they were born into wealthy families, but because it is copper-based (as opposed to iron-based like most mammals and fish) meaning when it oxidizes, horseshoe crab blood, like the Statue of Liberty, turns blue."

In circulating blood two different cell types are found: enucleated erythrocytes or red blood cells and nucleated leukocytes or white blood cells. We will study their histology in blood smears. Erythrocytes (red blood cells)RBCs are small (7 um) cells lacking a nucleus. They stain red with eosin and due to their concave shape have a lighter staining center. Numerous examples are found in the images below. Leukocytes (white blood cells)The WBCs are divided into two groups: (1) granular leukocytes, containing distinctive cytoplasmic granules, including neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils and (2) agranular leukocytes, without granules, including monocytes and lymphocytes. Neutrophils (10-12 um diameter), also called polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) or polymorphs, have nuclei with 2-5 lobes connected by thin chromatin threads. Their cytoplasm contains 2 types of granules; small neutrophilic granules (which give the cell a lavender hue and purplish-red azurophilic granules which are lysosomes ( Neutrophil ). Eosinophils are larger than PMNs (12-17 um diameter), have a bilobed nucleus, and large eosinophilic (red-orange) granules in their cytoplasm ( Eosinophil )."

They are about 6.5 feet (2 metres) wide and 3 feet (1 metre) thick and taper towards the top. They originally supported sarsen lintels forming a continuous circle around the top. Each lintel block has been shaped to the curve of the circle. The average length of the rectangular lintels is 10 feet 6 inches (3.2 metres).

Chickens like to go to sleep with a nice full crop, so are digesting and passing droppings all night. Some people put a collection tray under the perch for easy cleaning. Make sure you allow at least 8 to 10 inches of space along the perch for each chicken. The more The better. Chicken perches should start about 18 inches off the ground.

"text": "\"Raising Chickens Farm Animals10 Proven Tips to Encourage Hens to Lay Their Eggs in Nest Boxes By Lauren Arcuri Updated 02/18/18Share Pin Email George Clerk/E+/Getty Images If you keep chickens, you naturally would prefer that your laying hens deposit their eggs in the nest boxes you've provided for that purpose—not outside on the ground, or in the corners, hidden in tall grass, in hay bales, or any of the hundreds of other places that seem to appeal to them. It is a maddening fact of life for chicken keepers that hens often resist behaving correctly when it comes to laying their eggs. Chickens are creatures of habit, and they can be very stubborn about this behavior. These tips will encourage your hens to lay in their nest boxes, ensuring that you get the maximum number of fresh, clean eggs. Make Sure to Provide the Right Number of Nest Boxes One box for every four to six hens is ideal for your hens to feel comfortable laying in them. Paradoxically, too many nest boxes will cause hens to use them to sleep and defecate, but make them less likely to lay eggs in them.1: Make the Nest Boxes Appealing Ensure that your nest boxes are in a dark, quiet corner of the coop. Hens have the instinct to lay their eggs in a safe place. Boxes should at least a few inches off the floor. Make sure to collect eggs regularly, since a box already full of eggs isn't very appealing to a hen looking for a nesting spot.2: Collect the Eggs Regularly One or two eggs already in the box won't dissuade a hen from adding a few more, but most hens are attracted to an empty nesting box provided they are clean and attractive. If you get into the habit of collecting eggs twice a day, chances are good your hens will seek to fill up those empty spots with more eggs.3: Provide Enough Roosting Spots Ideally, you want your hens to lay eggs in the nest boxes, not necessarily use them as \"\"home.\"\""

The most important piece of equipment you need before buying your flock of chickens is a chicken coop. But we don’t recommend you buy just any chicken hutch for your backyard until you consider the appropriate size coop for your flock and your climate. Of course, a home in an urban environment will need a different sized coop compared to a coop on a farm with lots of acreage. However, it’s also essential to determine how much space each chicken will have inside and outside of the coop. A flock of chickens given more space to live in on a daily basis will be much healthier and will lay more eggs than a flock that’s cramped in a small coop.

"text": "Chickens health Mites - Natural Prevention and Treatment for your Chickens February 14, 2013Chicken mites are tiny crawling external parasites that can become a problem for your chickens if they are given the opportunity move in to your coop and take up residence on your flock. They are spread by bringing infected birds into your flock, by wild birds, rodents, or by carrying them in on your shoes or clothing. They are more prevalent and active in warm weather and during the summer, although some types do live in cold climates as well. While their life cycle is only 5-7 days, each mite can lay more than 100,000 eggs during that time, so treatment must be repeated and ongoing to completely eradicate them. There are several different types of mites which live either on the chickens or in the coop hiding under roosts, in cracks in the walls and even in the bedding material by day and coming out at night to feed. They bite and chew, extracting blood from the host, and can cause your chickens not only discomfort but also feather loss, anemia or even death in extreme cases. If your hens all of a sudden seem reluctant to go into their coop at night, or stop using the nesting boxes, there's a good chance they might be mite-infested. Normally, the dust baths that chickens take in a dry patch of dirt or sand, preferably enhanced with some wood ash and food-grade diatomaceous earth, will keep them mite-free, but often in extremely hot and humid areas where mite populations flourish or during long periods of wet weather when the chickens might not have the opportunity to bathe, the mites will get the upper hand.~Excessive preening and biting at their feathers can be a sign of a mite infestation~If your chickens have mites, you might see them preening more or biting at their feathers under their wings and around their vents. Upon closer inspection you will see tiny red or black spots near the vent. ( Whitish deposits at the base of the feather shafts indicate lice, these are the egg deposits."

"text": "Whether they are kept as pets or as livestock, chickens need some basic accommodations to protect them from the weather and predators, and to give them a place to lay eggs and sleep at night. Most people find that the best way to do this it to build a chicken coop and a key element of the coop is the chicken roost. Purpose The purpose of the chicken roost is to provide the chicken with a place to sleep. Essentially, the roost is the chicken’s bed, and so it is important to make sure it is just as comfortable for the chicken as a human bed should be for a human. In the wild, chickens find trees to roost in at night. Most domestic chickens are too large to fly into a tree, but they haven’t lost the urge to sleep somewhere perched off of the ground. Height The ideal height for a chicken coop roost is basically as high as you can make it inside of the coop. As long as the chicken can access it, it will always make its way to the highest spot that it feels comfortable with. Ideally, this spot will be at least 2 feet off of the ground. However, a chicken will be perfectly healthy roosting on a roost that is anywhere from 6 inches to 10 feet or more off of the ground."

Without much commotion the chickens would fly up into the tree as soon as daylight began to fade. By dark the tree would be full. The chickens slept all night but began leaving the tree at the first light of day. This is the source of the sayings “Getting up with the chickens” and “Going to bed with the chickens”. These Rio Grande Valley parrots roost much like chickens except they are very noisy and occupy many trees. Parrots Arriving To Roost Photo courtesy Ken Rudine, November 2009Over the last several years we have enjoyed finding roosting areas. We have found them from Brownsville to Mc Allen.

Usually the chickens take on a hybrid role as both pet and food provider, as most female chickens (hens) lay eggs several times a week. Typical costs: Most hobby chicken owners buy day-old chicks, which cost from about $5 to $10 for three. Ready-to-lay chickens, called pullets, cost about $15 to $25 each. My Pet Chicken.com [ 1] lists farms and hatcheries that sell chickens. A Hen Spa coop with a heated water bucket, three nests, two roosts, a light (and its timer) and a sunroof costs $1,750 at Shopthe Coop.com. The Eglu [ 2] is a small plastic coop that fits two chickens and is popular in urban areas. It's sold by Omlet for $500. Other readymade options include a simple coop for about $300 or a coop with netting on wheels that holds six chickens and costs $1,399. Building plans for Do-It-Yourself coops can be purchased at Backyard Chickens.com [ 3] for between $15 and $50; Do It Yourself coops can be built for anywhere from $100 to $1,000 depending on the materials and size."

"text": "\"Stop Chickens from Pecking Each Otherby Doris Donnerman (last updated February 17, 2009)34If you own a farm, likely you have chickens, and there are various issues associated with owning chickens. Some of the responsibilities of owning chickens are feeding them, collecting eggs, and even monitoring the chicken relationships. That may sound silly, but if you have chickens that have issues with bullying or pecking each other, that is something you may want to fix. Fortunately there are ways to deal with your chickens pecking each other, and it just takes a little vinegar!Vinegar definitely seems to be a universal solution for just about everything from clothes stains to training your dog to not chew the furniture, so it shouldn't be surprising that you can use vinegar to stop your chickens from pecking each other. The taste of the vinegar isn't pleasant and probably works as a deterrent to pecking other birds because the taste could be renewed. However, this technique is kind of a shaky one, because your pecking problem may be more serious. Pecking can be a sign of impending chicken cannibalism. When birds peck each other, it is often an attempt at dominance, or establishing a social order. If not checked and controlled, the pecking could escalate to serious injuring and damage of your birds. Here are a few techniques you should use in managing your chickens: Crowding birds: the more crowded the birds, the more likely they are to peck each other Feed and water: make sure that there's enough for every chicken to have a decent and fair share of food."

Here at Hansen Woodland Farm, we are raising chicks and have developed this quick, but detailed how-to guide and checklist for the first weeks -- and beyond -- for our staff, but feel anyone raising chicks will find this information useful too. For more details on any particular issue, please use the resources located at the end of the article. Before Your Chicks Arrive: Setting the Stage-- Brooder: a safe place to keep chicks warm, watered, and fed. You can buy or build elaborate brooders, but many chick growers go with a large plastic tote or large cardboard box. Be certain to have the right size (with high walls) for the number of chicks. You can also start small and move to a larger brooder as the chicks get older. Finally, you'll want a (ventilated) lid to keep brave chicks from escaping once they get bigger. --Brooder location: You want to keep the brooder in a warm, dry place; many people set it up in a garage, others do it in their house, while yet others do it in the chicken coop (if there are no adult chickens in the coop). -- Heat lamp: Fairly essential to keeping the chicks warm and their temperature regulated, as they can't do so initially. You can use a regular lamp and lightbulb, but products made for this purpose (with a guard) are a bit safer and more consistent."

"text": "California Quail, Callipepla californica The diet of the California Quail is mostly made up of seeds and leaves of broad-leaved annuals, (grasses are usually a minor component of diet) with a variety of other plants thrown in, depending on the plants available, the vicinity, the soil type, the yearly rainfall; they are very flexible, and adaptable in their eating habits. When the acorn crop is good, they eat lots of acorns (the acorns that have the shells crushed by cars they can access more easily); when the spring rains are good, they love a variety of seeds of spring annual plants, with special emphasis on legumes. Depending on rainfall and temperature, different foods are dominant in the quail diet year to year, so you want to make sure you have lots of different kinds of plants, so the quail will not go hungry. December through March mostly seeds are eaten; then as the temperatures warm, the days become longer, the wildflower seeds sprout and grow, greens become available, and the California quail switch to eating mostly leaves from May through November. Some examples of plants they eat are: Lotus , Trifolium, Lupinus , Eremocarpus, Amsinckia, Calandrinia , Montia , Hemizonia, Cirsium , Atriplex , Quercus, Rubus , Ribes , Ceanothus , Rhus , Sambucus , Lonicera , Artemisia, Astragalus, Chenopodium , Gilia , Toxicodendron diversilobum, Fragaria , and Salvia. Here at the nursery in the central coast ranges, quail have been foraging under the large Ceanothus planting (with shrubs and subshrubs of Arctostaphylos species, Lotus scoparius, Salvia species, and Penstemon centranthifolius ), for a couple of months now. Quail are also pretty adaptable in regards to habitat, though they do have certain preferences. They cannot forage through large thick stands of tall grass, though small patches, clumps of grass are used for nesting, if nothing else is available. Thick brush piles/woodpiles also work for nesting and cover, in a pinch. They need areas of thick shrubs for cover (to hide and rest in) and Emlen and Glading suggest areas 20 ft."

Buuut, some people aren’t quite so, shall we say, accepting. And sometimes when you give people a carton of chicken eggs to take home that have bits of shavings and feathers stuck to them, it kinda grosses them out. But no big deal, just give the eggs a good scrubbing and send them out the door. Right? WRONG. Believe it or not, there is more to washing an egg than you might think.

She used to have her cell phone number on every carton of Provenance Farm eggs, and she’d get random calls from customers standing in the refrigerator section of Portland-area natural food stores, asking about her the lives of her chickens. Were they pastured? Were they fed a vegetarian diet? Were they happy? The thing is, though, Rachel is exactly the kind of chicken farmer that those very particular customers are seeking, and her hens, for the most part, are living the good life.

The black-billed magpie ( Pica pica, Fig. 1) is easily distinguished from other birds by its striking black-and-white color pattern. It has an unusually long tail (at least half its body length) and short, rounded wings that show flashes of white in flight. The feathers of the tail and wings are iridescent, reflecting a bronzy-green to purple. The juvenile magpie is similar to the adult, but has less iridescence and a shorter tail.

Wing clipping, the most common method of controlling the flight of backyard chickens, involves using sharp shears to cut off the first ten flight feathers of one wing. Clipping causes a bird to lack the balance needed for flight but lasts only until new feathers grow during the next molt, which may be a few months in young birds or up to a year for older ones. A potential problem is that clipped feathers may not readily fall out during the molt, requiring your assistance. Our wing clipping notes Wing clipping doesn't seem to hurt the bird at all, and isn't noticeable when they are walking around. The primary flying feathers are hidden underneath when the wings are folded. Also, the flying feathers are easy to pick out -- often a different color than the rest."

The infection usually affects the lungs and symptoms can vary greatly. It can sometimes affect other parts of the body, including the eyes, liver, central nervous system, skin, or adrenal glands. For example, \"\"ocular histoplasmosis syndrome\"\" (also known as \"\"presumed ocular histoplasmosis\"\") is a condition that results in impaired vision (affects the eyes). Having a weakened immune system increases your risk for getting this disease (e.g., the very young, very old, or those with medical conditions that lower the body's resistance to infections). The Histoplasma organism thrives in moderate temperatures, rich soil, and moist environments. Droppings from chickens, pigeons, starlings, blackbirds, and bats support its growth. Birds are not infected with it because of their high body temperatures, but they do carry it on their feathers. Bats can be infected because they have a lower body temperature than birds and can excrete the organism in their droppings."

Little brown bat, Myotis lucifugus Damage and Damage Identification Bat Presence Bats often fly about swimming pools, from which they drink or catch insects. White light (with an ultraviolet component), commonly used for porch lights, building illumination, street and parking-lot lights, may attract flying insects, which in turn attract bats. Unfortunately, the mere presence of a bat outdoors is sometimes beyond the tolerance of some uninformed people. Information is a good remedy for such situations. Bats commonly enter buildings through openings associated with the roof edge and valleys, eaves, apex of the gable, chimney, attic or roof vent, dormers, and siding (see Fig. 7). Other openings may be found under loosefitting doors, around windows, gaps around various conduits (wiring, plumbing, air conditioning) that pass through walls, and through utility vents.

As long as your council allows the keeping of poultry, you can easily set up a chicken coop in your backyard; thus backyard chickens Farming organic chickens in your own backyard, is very satisfying. Just remember, most councils will not allow you to keep a rooster, only hens, because of the racket they can make and waking up your neighbors, which is fine, because you do not need a rooster for your hens to lay eggs. However, before you decide on what chicken breeds you want to keep, you should be looking at why you want to keep them. Are you raising chickens for meat production, egg production or just because you want to have a couple of fowls scratching around in your garden keeping the slugs and snail population under control? Based on your needs, you will then be able to identify what chicken breeds you should keep. However, remember too that if you want to learn how to raise chickens that are free range in an urban garden rather go for bantam chickens , particularly a breed such as Pekins as they do very little damage by comparison to other breeds that are far better suited to chicken coops.

"text": "\"All about Fred Hollows Frederick \"\"Fred\"\" Cossom Hollows, was born on the 9th of April 1929 in Dunedin, New Zealand. He was an ophthalmologist who became known for his work in restoring eyesight for several thousands of people in Australia and many other countries. It has been proven that more than one million people in the world can see today because of resourcefulness instigated by Hollows, the most famous example being The Fred Hollows Foundation. Hollows died in Sydney in 1993 at the age of 63. The cause of his death was metastatic renal cancer primarily affecting his lungs and brain. He had been diagnosed with the disease six years earlier, in 1987. Fred Hollows was one of four children they all were born in Dunedin, New Zealand, to Joseph and Clarice (Marshall) Hollows. The family lived in Dunedin for the first seven years of his life. He had one year of casual primary schooling at North East Valley Primary School and began attending Palmerston North Boys' High School when he was 13. Hollows got his BA degree from Victoria University of Wellington."

Several characters joined the organisation, seeking to prevent Voldemort from taking over the wizarding world and establishing a tyrannical new world order. During this period, before the events of the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the Order sustained heavy losses, including the murders of minor characters such as the Prewetts, the Bones and the Mc Kinnons. The Longbottoms were also tortured to insanity at the hands of Bellatrix Lestrange. Voldemort's first reign of terror ended after the murders of James and Lily Potter, and the unsuccessful attempt to murder their son, Harry Potter, at the beginning of the series. The spell rebounded on to him and severely diminished Voldemort's powers and as a result the Order was temporarily disbanded due to the lack of any further threat. When Harry reported that Voldemort had returned, towards the end of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Dumbledore reactivated the Order. Many of the original members returned and were soon joined by recruits who effectively replaced those who had died in service during the first conflict."

Marie Rossiter · July 5, 2017SHARE PIN ITGetty Images The disappearance of pilot Amelia Earhart has intrigued the public and investigators for 80 years. During her attempt to fly around the world in 1937, she and her navigator, Fred Noonan, disappeared. After countless searches, officials found no sign of the pair or their aircraft. Many people believed they crashed somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, with one group even using bone-sniffing dogs to search for the pair’s remains on a remote island in the Pacific. However, a new documentary featuring possible photographic evidence claims they survived. And, not only did they live, they were captured by Japanese forces. Did Amelia Earhart Survive After All?"

"text": "WWII Plane Crash Discovered in New Middleton Jan 18, 2017 | Home Page Featured, News (Smith County Insider Press) New Middleton, Tennessee — Three Smith County men have worked together to uncover a piece of hidden history in New Middleton, Tennessee. According to legend, a plane crash occurred in the New Middleton community during World War II Maneauvers in the 1940’s, but through the decades, no such crash has ever been discovered. Until now. Charles Mc Kinney and David Landreath have been neighbors in New Middleton for many years. Recently, they discovered the plane crash legend they have heard about their entire lives is actually true. Mc Kinney and Landreth were working together on a fence that had fallen one November afternoon when the topic of the plane crash came up in their conversation. Mc Kinney asked Landreth if he had ever heard the story about a plane crashing in the area during WWII. Landreth knew exactly what he was talking about because his late great-grandfather had told him the story many times, and he had even showed him close to where the crash site was believed to have been. Landreth’s great-grandfather, Neal Baird, owned the property at the time of the crash. When Mc Kinney found out Landreth possibly knew the location where the plane had crashed, the hunt was on."

"text": "The unexplained The Hollow Earth maps of the Third Reich: There is an entrance to the Hollow Earth By Ivan Share Tweet 72 Comments Do these maps prove the existence of the hollow Earth? One of the most interesting question many people have asked for centuries is whether there is a possibility that our planet is hollow? For many years it was believed that the earth was hollow, but even though many have come up with theories, until 1968 there was no proof. That year, pictures taken by a satellite orbiting Earth clearly showed a gaping hole located at the North Pole; enough evidence to support the hollow Earth theory according to many. Map made by Heinrich C. Berann for the National Geographic Society in 1966. Apparently showing the entrance to Inner Earth. We have read about the legendary stories about the Nazis who explored the Southern regions of our planet and even creating secret bases in Neuschwabenland. Some also speak about Operation Highjump and Admiral Byrd’s journeys where extremely advanced airships were seen flying around and exploring new territories. Not long ago, we discovered a map of the third Reich in which there are several secret passages depicted which were used by German U-Boats to access mysterious underground regions, as well as a complete map of both hemispheres and the mysterious kingdom of Agartha. We have also come across a letter, supposedly written by Karl Unger, who was aboard the German U-Boat 209, commanded by Heinrich Brodda, in which he states that the crew had reached the interior of the Earth and that they did not consider coming back."

Lines 1-9: I gaz'd upon the sheeny coast beyond, There where the Giant of old Time infixed The limits of his prowess, pillars high Long time eras'd from Earth: even as the Sea When weary of wild inroad buildeth up Hugh mounds whereby to stay his yeasty waves. Lines 10-27: And much I mus'd on legends quaint and old Which whilome won the hearts of all on Earth Toward their brightness, ev'n as flame draws air; But had their being in the heart of Man As air is th' life of flame: and thou wert then A center'd glory-circled Memory, Divinest Atalantis, whom the waves Have buried deep, and thou of later name Imperial Eldorado roof'd with gold; Shadows to which, despite all shocks of Change, All on-set of capricious Accident, Men clung with yearning Hope which would not die. Lines 16-27: As when in some great City where the walls Shake, and the streets with ghastly faces throng'd Do utter forth a subterranean voice, Among the inner columns far retir'd At midnight, in the lone Acropolis, Before the awful Genius of the place Kneels the pale Priestess in deep faith, the while Above her head the weak lamp dips and winks Unto the fearful summoning without: Nathless she ever clasps the marble knees, Bathes the cold hand with tears, and gazeth on Those eyes which wear no light but that wherewith Her phantasy informs them. Lines 28-39: Where are ye Thrones of the Western wave, fair Islands green? Where are your moonlight halls, your cedarn glooms, The blossoming abysses of your hills? Your flowering Capes, and your gold-sanded bays Blown round with happy airs of odorous winds? Where are the infinite ways, which, Seraph-trod, Wound thro' your great Elysian solitudes, Whose lowest deeps were, as with visible love, Fill'd with Divine effulgence, circumfus'd, Flowing between the clear and polish'd stems, And ever circling round their emerald cones In coronals and glories, such as gird The unfading foreheads of the Saints in Heaven? For nothing visible, they say, had birth In that blest ground but it was play'd about With its peculiar glory. Lines 40-56: Then I rais'd My voice and cried, 'Wide Afric, doth thy Sun Lighten, thy hills enfold a City as fair As those which starr'd the night o' the elder World?"

"text": "\"Cultured Pearl Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Background Thanks to its rarity and beauty, the pearl is as prized as a precious gem, but it is not formed by geologic processes like precious and semi-precious stones. Instead, the pearl is a product of some species of oysters and other shell-fish, formally called bivalve mollusks. It is formed when irritants become lodged in the soft tissue inside an oyster's shell, and, to protect itself, the oyster produces a coating for the irritant. This coating, called nacre, builds up in many thin layers and creates an iridescent cover over the irritant. The resulting product is a pearl. Pearls have been treasured by rulers and the rich, and they have been described (and used as metaphors for desirable objects) in poetry and song. The lives of those able to find the elusive pearl have also been celebrated. Japanese women called ama who developed the extraordinary lung capacity to dive in deep waters for pearl-bearing oysters are featured in folk stories. French composer Georges Bizet wrote an opera called \"\"The Pearl Fishers\"\" about two romantic young men with the unusual occupation of diving or fishing for pearls. Because of the romance associated with the pearl and its rarity, methods of producing pearls by extending nature's ability to do so have been identified and perfected in this century."

Sanford (born January 21, 1908) was a character portrayed by actor/comedian Redd Foxx on the 1972-1977 NBC sitcom Sanford and Son. [ 1]Foxx, whose real name was John Elroy Sanford, modeled the character after his real-life brother, whose name was also Fred Sanford. The character Fred is an elderly, widowed, sarcastic, and cantankerous junk dealer. He is the proprietor of \"\"Sanford and Son\"\" a junk and antique dealership which he ran out of his home, along with his son Lamont. Foxx appeared in all the episodes of the series, with the exception of 9 (because Foxx had a contract dispute with NBC in 1974). Contents [ show]Background Fred G. Sanford was born in St. Louis, Missouri on January 21, 1908. In 1946, he, his wife Elizabeth Winfield [3] and their oldest son Lamont ( Demond Wilson) moved to the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles. Fred was left with the responsibility of rearing Lamont alone after his wife suddenly died. Lamont dropped out of high school, subsequently joining his father in the junk business. Fred is portrayed as being irritable and wants everything done his way."

Expanding the Basic Sentence Unit Share Flipboard Email Print The two main parts of a prepositional phrase are a preposition and its object . ( pearleye/Getty Images)by Richard Nordquist Updated January 10, 2018Like adjectives and adverbs, prepositional phrases add meaning to the nouns and verbs in our sentences. Take a look at the two prepositional phrases in the following sentence: The steamy air in the kitchen reeked of stale food. The first prepositional phrase -- in the kitchen -- modifies the noun air; the second -- of stale food -- modifies the verb reeked. The two phrases provide information that helps us understand the sentence as a whole. The Two Parts of a Prepositional Phrase A prepositional phrase has two basic parts: a preposition plus one or more nouns or pronouns that serve as the object of the preposition. A preposition is a word that shows how a noun or a pronoun is related to another word in a sentence. The common prepositions are listed in the table at the end of this article.

With a total distance of 5 miles wide by 30 miles long, Cape Barren Island has a history of Aboriginal settlement dating back to the mid 1800's. The Tasmanian Aboriginal people of Cape Barren Island and the North East of Tasmania have struggled for over 200 years for survival as their lifestyle was over-taken and dramatically disrupted by the Europeans. Their story begins some 40,000 years ago during the last ice age, when humans first moved down into the wild cool temperate Southern Peninsula of Australia. Humans had arrived in Australia at least 60,000 years ago, but it was only now that people took up occupation on this South-Eastern Peninsula. These people were hunters and gatherers who employed their seasonal patterns of food collecting around the coastline and hinterlands. Clans of people shifted around the peninsula and settled territories, establishing clear borders of clan worlds, which became well recognized by their neighbours. Clan worlds were negotiated and mutual concessions agreed to - such as rights of passage through neighboring lands, or access to seasonal food sources. Inter-clan marriages helped secure these agreements and provide incentives for good will between neighbors. This was the age of stone and bone, long before metals were made or settled farming existed anywhere in the world."

Ancient Egypt is a canonical example of an early culture considered a civilization A civilization or civilisation (see English spelling differences) is any complex society characterized by urban development, social stratification imposed by a cultural elite, symbolic systems of communication (for example, writing systems ), and a perceived separation from and domination over the natural environment. [ 1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]Civilizations are intimately associated with and often further defined by other socio-politico-economic characteristics, including centralization, the domestication of both humans and other organisms, specialization of labour, culturally ingrained ideologies of progress and supremacism, monumental architecture, taxation, societal dependence upon farming and expansionism. [ 2] [3] [4] [6] [7] [8] Historically, a civilization was a so-called \"\"advanced\"\" culture in contrast to more supposedly primitive cultures. [ 1] [3] [4] [9] In this broad sense, a civilization contrasts with non-centralized tribal societies, including the cultures of nomadic pastoralists, Neolithic societies or hunter-gatherers. As an uncountable noun, civilization also refers to the process of a society developing into a centralized, urbanized, stratified structure. Civilizations are organized in densely populated settlements divided into hierarchical social classes with a ruling elite and subordinate urban and rural populations, which engage in intensive agriculture, mining, small-scale manufacture and trade. Civilization concentrates power, extending human control over the rest of nature, including over other human beings. ["

Societies are characterized by patterns of relationships ( social relations) between individuals who share a distinctive culture and institutions; a given society may be described as the sum total of such relationships among its constituent of members. In the social sciences, a larger society often evinces stratification or dominance patterns in subgroups. Insofar as it is collaborative, a society can enable its members to benefit in ways that would not otherwise be possible on an individual basis; both individual and social (common) benefits can thus be distinguished, or in many cases found to overlap. A society can also consist of like-minded people governed by their own norms and values within a dominant, larger society. This is sometimes referred to as a subculture, a term used extensively within criminology. More broadly, and especially within structuralist thought, a society may be illustrated as an economic, social, industrial or cultural infrastructure, made up of, yet distinct from, a varied collection of individuals. In this regard society can mean the objective relationships people have with the material world and with other people, rather than \"\"other people\"\" beyond the individual and their familiar social environment.

Discuss the reasons why governments sometimes choose to control prices and the consequences of price control policies. So far in this chapter and in the previous chapter, we have learned that markets tend to move toward their equilibrium prices and quantities. Surpluses and shortages of goods are short-lived as prices adjust to equate quantity demanded with quantity supplied. In some markets, however, governments have been called on by groups of citizens to intervene to keep prices of certain items higher or lower than what would result from the market finding its own equilibrium price. In this section we will examine agricultural markets and apartment rental markets—two markets that have often been subject to price controls. Through these examples, we will identify the effects of controlling prices. In each case, we will look at reasons why governments have chosen to control prices in these markets and the consequences of these policies. Agricultural Price Floors Governments often seek to assist farmers by setting price floors in agricultural markets."

The remains of the earliest temple structure were discovered in Surkh Kotal, a place in Afghanistan by a French archeologist in 1951. It was not dedicated to a god but to the imperial cult of King Kanishka (127 - 151 AD). The ritual of idol worship which became popular at the end of the Vedic age may have given rise to the concept of temples as a place of worship. The Earliest Hindu Temples The earliest temple structures were not made of stones or bricks, which came much later. In ancient times, public or community temples were possibly made of clay with thatched roofs made of straw or leaves. Cave-temples were prevalent in remote places and mountainous terrains. According to historian Nirad C. Chaudhuri, the earliest structures that indicate idol worship date back to the 4th or 5th century AD. There was a seminal development in temple architecture between the 6th and the 16th century. This growth phase of Hindu temples charts its rise and fall alongside the fate of the various dynasties that reigned India during the period majorly contributing and influencing the building of temples, especially in South India."

Durable sculptural processes originally used carving (the removal of material) and modelling (the addition of material, as clay), in stone, metal, ceramics, wood and other materials but, since Modernism, there has been an almost complete freedom of materials and process. A wide variety of materials may be worked by removal such as carving, assembled by welding or modelling, or molded, or cast. Sculpture in stone survives far better than works of art in perishable materials, and often represents the majority of the surviving works (other than pottery) from ancient cultures, though conversely traditions of sculpture in wood may have vanished almost entirely. However, most ancient sculpture was brightly painted, and this has been lost.

The rate of stylistic development between about 750 and 300 BC was remarkable by ancient standards, and in surviving works is best seen in sculpture. There were important innovations in painting, which have to be essentially reconstructed due to the lack of original survivals of quality, other than the distinct field of painted pottery. Greek architecture, technically very simple, established a harmonious style with numerous detailed conventions that were largely adopted by Roman architecture and are still followed in some modern buildings. It used a vocabulary of ornament that was shared with pottery, metalwork and other media, and had an enormous influence on Eurasian art, especially after Buddhism carried it beyond the expanded Greek world created by Alexander the Great. The social context of Greek art included radical political developments and a great increase in prosperity; the equally impressive Greek achievements in philosophy, literature and other fields are well known. The earliest art by Greeks is generally excluded from ancient Greek art, and instead known as Aegean art; this includes Cycladic art and the art of the Minoan and Mycenaean cultures from the Greek Bronze Age. [ 1] The art of ancient Greece is usually divided stylistically into four periods: the Geometric, Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic. The Geometric age is usually dated from about 1000 BC, although in reality little is known about art in Greece during the preceding 200 years, traditionally known as the Greek Dark Ages. The 7th century BC witnessed the slow development of the Archaic style as exemplified by the black-figure style of vase painting."

"text": "\"History of the Gupta Empire Article shared by : Read this article to learn about the whole history of the Gupta Empire. It’s Foundation, Rulers, Administration, Economy, Social Developments, Culture and Literature ! After centuries of political disintegration an empire came to be established in A. D. 319, under the Guptas. Although the Gupta Empire was not as large as the Maurya Empire, it kept north India politically united for more than a century, from A. D. 335 to 455. ADVERTISEMENTS: The ancestry and early history of the Gupta family are little known, and have naturally given rise to various speculations. But very likely they were initially a family of landowners who acquired political control in the region of Magadha and parts of eastern Uttar Pradesh. Uttar Pradesh seems to have been a more important province for the Guptas than Bihar, because early Gupta coins and inscriptions have been mainly found in that region. Image source; coinindia.com/Samudra-4791.5-438.02.jpg Hence Uttar Pradesh seems to have been the place from where the Guptas operated and fanned out in different directions. Probably with their centre of power at Prayag they spread in the neighbouring regions. The Guptas were possibly the feudatories of the Kushanas in Uttar Pradesh, and seem to have succeeded them without any wide time-lag."

"text": "\"Where are Most Cave Paintings Located? The most spectacular examples of this rock art have been discovered in southwestern France and northern Spain - hence it is sometimes referred to as Franco-Cantabrian cave art - where archeologists have found some 350 caves containing Upper Paleolithic artworks. The largest cave clusters are in the Dordogne (Lascaux, Cussac, Laussel, Font-de-Gaume, Les Combarelles, Rouffignac), and around Monte Castillo in the district of Puente Viesgo, Cantabria, but other magnificently decorated caves have been found in various parts of the world - including South Africa, Argentina, India, China, Australia and elsewhere. Which are the Oldest Cave Paintings? At present, the earliest art in prehistoric caves, whose dates of origin have been authenticated by radiocarbon dating, consists of abstract signs - namely a red dot and a hand print - found among the El Castillo cave paintings in Cantabria, Spain. These images have been dated to at least 39,000 BCE and 35,500 BCE respectively, making them the oldest art of their type from a cave in Europe. However, in 2014 in Indonesia, on the other side of the world, archeologists used Uranium-Thorium dating techniques to date hand stencils among the images found at Leang Timpuseng Cave, Sulawesi, to 37,900 BCE. ( Animal paintings at the site were dated to 33,400 BCE.) Next in age comes the Fumane Cave pictures (c.35,000 BCE), then two claviform symbols found at Altamira, dated 34,000 BCE. The next oldest paintings are those in Chauvet Cave, situated in the Ardeche region of France."

A strong sense of design is characteristic of Indian art and can be observed in its modern and traditional forms. The origin of Indian art can be traced to pre-historic Hominid settlements in the 3rd millennium BC. On its way to modern times, Indian art has had cultural influences, as well as religious influences such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Islam. In spite of this complex mixture of religious traditions, generally, the prevailing artistic style at any time and place has been shared by the major religious groups. In historic art, sculpture in stone and metal, mainly religious, has survived the Indian climate better than other media and provides most of the best remains. Many of the most important ancient finds that are not in carved stone come from the surrounding, drier regions rather than India itself.

They would have been descendants of Homo erectus, the first type of early human to migrate from Africa, whose brain capacity was 800-1250 cubic centimetres. Later Stone Age artists (from 100,000 to roughly 40,000 BCE) would have been types of Homo sapiens like Neanderthals ( Homo neanderthalensis) - see, for instance, Gorham's Cave Art - while the first prehistoric sculptors and cave painters were forms of \"\"anatomically modern man\"\". What are the Characteristics of the First Prehistoric Artworks? The oldest Stone Age art is dominated by a form known as \"\" cupules \"\" - a term coined in 1993 by the famous archeologist Robert G. Bednarik to describe the small hemispherical holes pounded into flat, sloping or vertical rock surfaces, dating from Lower Paleolithic times, which exist in every continent other than Antarctica. Typically they were created in groups, sometimes numbering many hundreds. Cupules are a very ancient form of \"\" art \"\" whose aesthetic and cultural significance is not understood either by paleo-anthropologists or archeologists, far less art historians. All we know is that it was a universal type of public art, and that it often involved a massive physical effort, especially when it was practised on hard rock.

According to the Gladwin Thesis, this ancient journey occurred, particularly about 75,000 years ago and included Black Pygmies, Black Negritic peoples and Black Australoids similar to the Aboriginal Black people of Australia and parts of Asia, including India. Ancient African terracotta portraits 1000 B. C. to 500 B. C. Recent discoveries in the field of linguistics and other methods have shown without a doubt, that the ancient Olmecs of Mexico, known as the Xi People, came originally from West Africa and were of the Mende African ethnic stock. According to Clyde A. Winters and other writers (see Clyde A. Winters website), the Mende script was discovered on some of the ancient Olmec monuments of Mexico and were found to be identical to the very same script used by the Mende people of West Africa. Although the carbon fourteen testing date for the presence of the Black Olmecs or Xi People is about 1500 B. C., journies to the Mexico and the Southern United States may have come from West Africa much earlier, particularly around five thousand years before Christ. That conclusion is based on the finding of an African native cotton that was discovered in North America. It's only possible manner of arriving where it was found had to have been through human hands. At that period in West African history and even before, civilization was in full bloom in the Western Sahara in what is today Mauritania. One of Africa's earliest civilizations, the Zingh Empire, existed and may have lived in what was a lake filled, wet and fertile Sahara, where ships criss-crossed from place to place.

Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton embarked on a collaboration that evolved into one of the most productive working partnerships in U. S. history. As uncompromising women’s rights leaders, they revolutionized the political and social condition of women in American society. Stanton was the leading voice and philosopher of the women’s rights and suffrage movements while Anthony was the powerhouse who commandeered the legions of women who struggled to win the ballot for American women. Born on November 12, 1815, in Johnstown, New York, Elizabeth Cady grew up amidst wealth and privilege, the daughter of Daniel Cady, a prominent judge, and Margaret Livingston. In 1826, the death of her brother Eleazar drove her to excel in every area her brother had in an attempt to compensate her father for his loss. She attended the progressive Troy Female Seminary, where she received the best education available for a young woman of the early 1830s. After her graduation in 1833, she became immersed in the world of reform at the home of her cousin Gerrit Smith. There she fell in love with the abolitionist Henry Brewster Stanton. Following their marriage in 1840, she met the woman who would become her most important mentor in her development as a feminist, the abolitionist Lucretia Mott. When the Stantons moved from Boston to the village of Seneca Falls, New York, in 1847, Elizabeth suffered from the lack of an intellectual community."

In the nineteenth century a movement against alcoholic beverages arose when some Americans, appalled by the social damage and individual wreckage that alcohol consumption too often seemed to cause, sought to persuade citizens to refrain from drinking liquor. This \"\"temperance\"\" movement enjoyed considerable success and continued parallel with the prohibition movement. In the eyes of some reformers a sober America was attainable only under laws that declared illegal the manufacture and sale of liquor. In their view the profit motive led the distilling, brewing, and saloon industries to encourage more people to drink. The destruction of the legal liquor traffic appeared to be the solution of a widespread individual and social problem. Prohibition sentiment found ready partisans among fundamentalist Protestants in Texas. Fundamentalists had long taught that drinking is immoral, and many of them came to believe that state-enforced teetotalism would improve public morality."

"text": "\"The Temperance Movement and Class Struggle in Victorian England By Rebecca Smith This paper was selected by the Department of History as the Outstanding Paper for the 1992-1993 academic year. The temperance movement was a major cause of social reform in Victorian Britain. In the eighteenth century, the English middle and upper classes religiously served and drank wine at their dinners, and the working class frequently consumed beer and cider. During the nineteenth century, however, the consumption of alcohol among working-class men began to be viewed as a wasteful and illicit form of entertainment which served no purpose, caused many problems, and was scorned and fought against by the temperance movement. The temperance movement focused on the drinking habits of men, because men drank publically and because the drinking habits of women were unknown. While its goals changed according to its respective leaders, it achieved what it originally set out to do: control drunkenness and change Victorian England's lenient treatment of alcohol abusers. Clearly, the temperance movement's main focus was working-class drinking, as the movement was dominated by middle-class men who felt that by fighting intemperance they were helping the working class. The three phases of the temperance movement, however, proved that the middle and working classes were for the most part not at all in agreement. To study the temperance movement is to study the class struggles of a society in which social status meant everything. Representing the ideals of self-control and self-denial, the temperance movement epitomized middle-class Victorian values."

During the 19th century, alcoholism, family violence, and saloon-based political corruption prompted activists, led by pietistic Protestants, to end the alcoholic beverage trade to cure the ill society and weaken the political opposition. One result was that many communities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries introduced alcohol prohibition, with the subsequent enforcement in law becoming a hotly debated issue. Prohibition supporters, called \"\"drys\"\", presented it as a victory for public morals and health. Promoted by the \"\"dry\"\" crusaders, the movement was led by pietistic Protestants and social Progressives in the Prohibition, Democratic, and Republican parties. It gained a national grass roots base through the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. After 1900 it was coordinated by the Anti-Saloon League. Opposition from the beer industry mobilized \"\"wet\"\" supporters from the Catholic and German Lutheran communities. They had funding to fight back but by 1917–18 the German community had been marginalized by the nation's war against Germany, and the brewing industry was shut down in state after state by the legislatures and finally nationwide under the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1920."

"text": "Arts & Humanities History How did the American social reform movement evolve out of the Second Great Awakening?-Please and Thank You!Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The Second Great Awakening emphasized faith and influenced later reform movements such as those concerning temperance, education, women’s rights, and abolition. The Second Great Awakening and the reform movements that sprouted throughout antebellum America all had to do with improving the “moral fiber” of the nation. This great awakening was a religious movement, so these reforms occurred because alcohol, education, women’s rights, and abolition were integrated with religion. In the late 1820s, some reformers organized the Temperance Movement. This movement was a campaign against alcohol abuse. Basically, some felt that the consumption and production of alcohol should be restricted for it completely went against their Puritanical religious views. Although religion played a large role in the decisions made during this time, political aspects needed to be weighted as well. If the consumption of alcohol was stopped completely and made illegal, the government would be way too deep in the affairs of its citizens, giving it (the federal government too much power). Horace Mann started public education. Public education was one of the most important areas in which the reformers worked towards."

Growth of the Temperance Movement The half century after independence witnessed both a gradual change in attitudes toward alcoholic beverages and an increase in alcohol production and consumption. A pamphlet by the prominent Philadelphia physician Benjamin Rush entitled An Inquiry into the Effects of Spirituous Liquors on the Human Mind and Body, published in 1784, was an early voice denouncing the harmful effects of distilled liquors. The first temperance society of record was formed in Litchfield County, Connecticut, in 1789 by prominent citizens convinced that alcohol hindered the conduct of their businesses. In 1813 the Massachusetts Society for the Suppression of Intemperance was formed by society's elites—clergymen, town officials, and employers—\"\"to suppress the too free use of ardent spirits, and its kindred vices, profaneness and gambling, and to encourage and promote temperance and general morality,\"\" as its constitution proclaimed. There was good reason for the concern of these early temperance advocates."

S. society permanently; every aspect of modern American life still shows the impact of the reformers of the era. But what did they want? And why did they want it? The belief of all Progressives - that we really could end all human suffering - was the inspiration for a massive overhaul of American life. Definition of Progressivism On March 25, 1911, a fire broke out at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York City. The factory workers, most of them immigrants, nearly all women, ran for the doors to exit, only to find them locked from the outside. The workers crowded to the rooftops and on window ledges as fire engines arrived only to find that neither their hoses nor their ladders could reach high enough to help. Many of the workers (60, by one estimate) chose to jump to their deaths rather than face the fire inside. The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire was one of the worst industrial accidents in U. S. history. The idea that 248 people might die in such a senseless, seemingly preventable way was a matter of outrage for many Americans."

Politics of Social Reform From the 1820s-1840s, the Whig evangelicals believed that with God’s help they could improve the world by improving the individuals within it, and they felt they could use the government to improve individual morality and discipline. During this antebellum period, many social reforms were taken to improve the lives of individuals. Reforms that took place included reforming public schools, prisons, and asylums. In the 19th century, public schools were known as “common” schools, schools that local and state governments built that were supported by taxes. Before being sent to these “common” schools, children were being educated at home where they learned reading, writing, and arithmetic, or in charity schools that were supported by churches or other benevolent organizations. In the 1830s, both Whigs and Democrats felt that providing common schools was a proper function of government, both agreeing that schools could equalize opportunity. The more radical Democrats felt public schools would erase snobbery, and newspapers in 1828 felt children of the rich and the poor would receive a national education that would rid the country of aristocrats and create democrats. Several reformers included Horace Mann,Horace Mann:http://armstrong-history.wikispaces.com/file/view/mannn.jpg Henry Barnard, and Calvin Stowe. All three reformers emphasized the value of character building rather than the three Rs, believing it was a schools’ duty to train children to respect authority, property, hard work, and social order. They felt schools would downplay class divisions and were less interested in democratizing wealthy children than in civilizing the poor."

The goal of the movement was to limit the heavy drinking that most Americans were doing. Their drinking was excessive and had a negative effect on the economy. It caused a decrease in work productivity and an increase in work accidents. It also caused family issues. Groups and societies were set up in order to get people to control the amount they drank. Also, there were laws passed to regulate drinking. These laws weren’t successful, but the groups were. Although the movement wasn’t completely successful, it did have a lot of positive gains. There was an overall decrease in the amount per capita consumption of hard liquor."

Many women, notably members of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, were pivotal in bringing about national Prohibition in the United States, believing it would protect families, women, and children from the effects of alcohol abuse. [ 1]Impact of prohibition [ edit]Scholarly literature regarding the effect of prohibition has held that popular claim that prohibition was a failure is false. [ 2] [3] The proponents of National Prohibition believed that banning alcoholic beverages would reduce or even eliminate many social problems, particularly drunkenness, crime, mental illness, and poverty. A temperance fountain erected by the Woman's Christian Temperance Union during the Prohibition era in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware Mark H. Moore, a professor at Harvard University Kennedy School of Government, stated, with respect to the effects of prohibition: Alcohol consumption declined dramatically during Prohibition. Cirrhosis death rates for men were 29.5 per 100,000 in 1911 and 10.7 in 1929. Admissions to state mental hospitals for alcoholic psychosis declined from 10.1 per 100,000 in 1919 to 4.7 in 1928. Arrests for public drunkenness and disorderly conduct declined 50 percent between 1916 and 1922. For the population as a whole, the best estimates are that consumption of alcohol declined by 30 percent to 50 percent. ["

"text": "Transcendentalism In his 1794 book The Age of Reason, Thomas Paine advanced a religious philosophy called Deism that struck at the tenets of organized religions, particularly Calvinism as it was practiced by the Puritans. Paine claimed that churches were “set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.” These thoughts were shocking to Americans who were imbued with a strong religious tradition. At the same time, Paine’s ideas appealed to many Americans who were likewise steeped in the rationality of the Enlightenment period and who had difficulty aligning Calvinist doctrine with reason. Calvinism held that the essential nature of infants was evil. This belief was called “infant damnation.” Calvinism also subscribed to a belief that there were only a certain few who were “elect” by God from the beginning to be saved. All others were doomed after death regardless of their beliefs or actions in life. Many people objected to the ideas of infant damnation and the powerlessness of the individual to achieve salvation. Paine’s Deism, by contrast, claimed that human nature was essentially good and that salvation was within reach of every person through faith and good works."

Concerned citizens had begun warning others about the effects of alcohol nearly 100 years earlier. In 1826 the American Temperance Society was founded to convince people to abstain from drinking. Not long after, the Women's Christian Temperance Union pledged not only to ban alcohol and drugs, but to improve public morals. The anti-Saloon League was formed in 1893 and eventually became a powerful political force in passing a national ban on alcoholic beverages. Women were strongly behind the temperance movement, for alcohol was seen as the destroyer of families and marriages. Men would often spend their money on alcohol, leaving women with no money to provide for their children. Factory owners also supported temperance as well because of the new work habits that were required of industrial workers - early mornings and long nights. Progressive reformers also took to Prohibition for they saw it as a continuation of their efforts to improve society in general. Temperance societies and Progressives alike saw the need for more governmental control and involvement in citizens' lives."

In 1852, they founded the New York Women's State Temperance Society after Anthony was prevented from speaking at a temperance conference because she was female. In 1863, they founded the Women's Loyal National League, which conducted the largest petition drive in United States history up to that time, collecting nearly 400,000 signatures in support of the abolition of slavery. In 1866, they initiated the American Equal Rights Association, which campaigned for equal rights for both women and African Americans. In 1868, they began publishing a women's rights newspaper called The Revolution. In 1869, they founded the National Woman Suffrage Association as part of a split in the women's movement."

"text": "Temperance Movement and Women's Rights There is nothing more innately human than the tendency to transmute what has become customary into what has been divinely ordained.-- Suzanne La Follette, 1926History, it is often observed, frequently unfolds in surprising ways. The great progress in civil rights in the United States since the 19th century is in itself counterintuitive, but perhaps even more so is the unlikely fact that early successes were due in large part to conservative religious ideology. Since this nation's inception, Americans had been enamored with alcohol: distilled spirits were cheap, attractive, and their health effects not widely understood. Because of women’s exclusion from what were considered “male spheres” of social life, they were far less likely than men to drink alcohol. Instead, they witnessed, and suffered from, the negative results alcohol produced in their fathers, husbands, and sons. Based on the misogynistic ideology imported from European (Christian) culture to the United States in its infancy, women were considered intellectually and temperamentally inferior to men. They were relegated to the domestic sphere and effectively allowed no participation in “men's affairs” such as politics. Because of their limitation to hearth and home, women were also thought to be morally purer than men. A wife and mother's responsibility was to instill principled values in her children and to maintain a household which would be a moral shrine for her husband. This emphasis on woman as conscience was spread and reinforced by Protestantism in a popular religious movement known as the Second Great Awakening at the turn of the 19th century."

State after state revoked property qualifications for voting and holding office—thus transforming Jefferson’s republic of property holders into Andrew Jackson’s mass democracy. Democracy, however, was not for everyone. While states extended political rights to all white men, they often withdrew or limited such rights for blacks. As part of the same trend, the state of New Jersey took the vote away from propertied women, who formerly had possessed that right. Thus the democratization of citizenship applied exclusively to white men. In the mid–19th century, these men went to the polls in record numbers. The election of 1828 attracted 1.2 million voters; that number jumped to 1.5 million in 1836 and to 2.4 million in 1840.

Rush's writing reflected the changing attitudes towards distilled alcohol at the time, especially among the US medical community. Rush's article drew upon ideas from a century earlier; at the beginning of the eighteenth century, medical practitioners began taking a more scientific approach to medicine. Scientists and doctors like Rush felt that the American public needed to be made aware of the health hazards inherent in alcohol consumption. Rush's argument against the consumption of ardent spirits was not only scientific, but also moral. At the end of his essay, Rush described the moral evils that resulted from the use of distilled spirits such as fraud, theft, uncleanliness and murder (Runes 339). Not long after Rush began writing about alcohol's detrimental effects on moral and physical health, he began a correspondence with the Boston Minister Jeremy Belknap. The physician and the minister soon became collaborators, using a mixture of scientific and moral claims in their fight against the consumption of alcoholic beverages. The teaming up of the minister and the physician is emblematic of a century of rhetoric surrounding alcohol use and abuse in America. For over a century, Americans argued for abstinence from alcohol using a combination of scientific and moral reasons."

D. / School of Criminology / Simon Fraser University [This research reportwas prepared for my own use - simply as a sort of personal position statement - rather than for any particular publication outlet. ] Notwithstanding the results of Canada's 1992 national referendum -- where \"\"the aboriginal package\"\" went down to defeat, along with the rest of the constitutional proposals, among both aboriginal and non-aboriginal voters -- prospects for dramatic changes to the look of aboriginal-governmental relations in Canada are still alive and well. My interests in this paper are to examine what those relations have been, as well as factors which may influence and/or should be considered in future relations. Particular attention will then be paid to possible futures in the realm of aboriginal justice. Though calls for changes in the realms of both aboriginal-governmental relations and aboriginal justice come from many quarters, just what these changes might entail, and how they will dovetail with the dominant Euro-Canadian governmental and justice systems, are still a matter of some discussion and debate. The current paper begins with the assertion that choices among future policy alternatives would benefit from consideration of past relations between Canada's indigenous peoples and the colonial and federal governments. Indeed, it is guided by the belief that any proposals which do not consider the past in their formulation and implementation are doomed to repeat it. Accordingly, the first half of this paper reviews some of the history of aboriginal-governmental relations in Canada, while the second half focusses specifically on issues of aboriginal justice. A Historical Preamble Aboriginal Peoples and Canadian History There is an incredible irony concerning Canada's indigenous peoples."

Evolutionists claim that we all originated from a \"\"soup,\"\" while Christians fail to recognize that there is far more information in the ORIGINAL bible then the translated versions.

However, in practice they were denied this right, even if they were on the state electoral roll (only Queensland and Western Australia had a complete ban on Aboriginal voting). Some people mistakenly think that the 1967 national referendum gave Aborigines the right to vote and to be citizens. In fact this referendum gave them the right to be counted in the national census and gave the Commonwealth government the power to make legislation in regard to Aborigines. The real legislative and political impact of the 1967 referendum was to enable the federal government to take action in the area of Aboriginal Affairs, introducing policies to encourage self-determination and financial security for Aborigines. Despite being the original inhabitants of the continent, Aboriginal people were recognised as Australian citizens in 1947, when a separate Australian citizenship was created for the first time. Prior to this, all Australians were \"\"British subjects\"\". Aboriginal people gained the vote in Commonwealth territories in 1965, and earlier in different states, according to various state laws."

What the referendum actually did was to remove a provision from the constitution that excluded Aboriginal people from census figures which in turn were used to calculate the distribution and boundaries of electorates. This constitutional revision was required to correct the anomaly that while Aboriginal people already had the vote they were not included in the calculations used to make for electorates with approximately equal numbers of voters. Australian Aboriginal's right to vote varied from territory to territory with some (including women) having the right to vote (though rarely exercised) from the 19th century. Federal legislation in 1949 and 1962 formalized voting qualifications for Aboriginal people and with the State of Queensland introducing legislation in 1965, all Australians of Aboriginal descent then had full voting rights in all parts of the country and were able to vote in the referendum that supposedly 'gave them the vote'. See this article for full details: http://www.aec.gov.au/voting/indigenous_vote/aborigin.htm The myth that Aborigines gained the right to vote in the 1967 referendum is perpetuated by lazy and inept journalists and to a certain extent by the consent of a ruling class that likes to pretend that Australian society is less racist than it is.

"text": "In diverse societies, especially those shaped by colonialism and discrimination, many people find they must defend themselves against public laws and regulations that threaten practices they view as crucial to their cultural or religious identity. Oftentimes political and legal institutions are called upon to broker these conflicts, and in some cases they have developed methods to guide that process. Very little attention has been devoted to these methods, but they are a growing part of how public institutions respond to claims of protecting cultural identity. R. v. Van der Peet (1996) of the Canadian Supreme Court is instructive because it shows what happens when public institutions try to design a set of criteria for determining when a cultural practice should be exempt from state law. Dorothy Van der Peet, as a member of the Sto:lo First Nation, claimed exemption from regulations restricting individual fishers from selling salmon without a license. Van der Peet argued that her right to trade in salmon derived from her membership in a native Aboriginal nation whose cultural identity is intimately tied to salmon fishing, and thereby protected by section 35 of Canada’s Constitution. The majority of the Court justices found against Van der Peet and argued that trade in salmon (as opposed to fishing and consuming salmon) did not count as a protected Aboriginal right. According to the Court, in order for a practice to receive constitutional protection it must pass a two-stage “distinctive culture test.” In the first stage, the plaintiff must show that the disputed practice is integral to the pre-contact indigenous culture of the community in question. In other words, to be protected practices must be central, not incidental, to the culture, and only those practices that existed before Aboriginal-European contact are eligible for constitutional protection."

However, they did not only arrive in the 1600s as often stated; that was apartheid myth-making. The Bantu peoples began arriving in Southern Africa at least 1 800 to 2 000 years ago and newer research keeps pushing that date back. This is shown by the archaeological record that shows Iron-Age furnaces and tools appearing at this stage of prehistory. They arrived in small probably family-based groups bringing with them cattle and hoe agriculture. They did not rush down in some horde massacring the local aboriginals.

"text": "March 11, 2008Home Legendary Creatures Bunyip Bunyip By Ezoic Legendary Creatures 13 Comments The Bunyip is a mythical beast of Australian Folklore which also has ties to Aboriginal mythology. The name Bunyip is translated as ‘Devil’ or ‘Spirit’ and the beast has most commonly been described as some kind of lake monster said to dwell in things such as billabongs and swamps. Accounts from early Aboriginal drawings show the beast to have a tail like a horse, with flippers and tusks or horns. More recent sightings of the Bunyip however, claim various physical features such as, scales, fur, a long thin neck and even a bird-like head. Bunyip The Bunyip is said to be nocturnal and it is claimed that the Bunyip emerges from his watery home at night to feast on animals of all manner, even women and children. It is identified by a loud bellowing cry and when the native Aborigines hear this they stay well away from the water. Despite their predatory and devastating nature Bunyips are also a common character in Australian children’s stories. When early European settlers arrived in Australia many saw the Bunyip as a fact and believed it to be an undiscovered animal, they experienced many sights and sounds that wouldn’t have been encountered in their native countries and these could easily be mistaken for the Bunyip. Skull of a legendary beast? What was believed to be the skull of a Bunyip was found in 1846 in New South Wales washed up on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River."

Alice B. Toklas Sarcopenia is basically a condition where the body looses muscle mass. It's a mechanism of Frailty Syndrome and that is basically a part of growing old. I watched as my dad began to wither away after heart surgery for he refused to follow the doctors orders by getting more physical and eat nutritious food. The end result was him wasting away to nothing and only in the end did he admit he should have eaten better food and exercised like the doctor advised. The ole boy literally starved himself to death. In my mothers case, before she suffered renal failure she was robust and very active. She ate very well and watched her diet like a hawk. It was misdiagnosis and the use of prescription drugs that destroyed her kidneys."

Its forms and practices have been profoundly influenced by the impact of colonialism, both past and present. Some Indigenous Australians share the religious beliefs and values of religions introduced into Australia from other cultures around the world, particularly Europe. But for most people religious beliefs are derived from a sense of belonging-to the land, to the sea, to other people, to one's culture. The form and expression of spirituality differs between Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders. Aboriginal spirituality mainly derives from the stories of the Dreaming, while Torres Strait Islander spirituality draws upon the stories of the Tagai. The Missions\"\"So the sad thing about it all was the missionaries didn't realise that we already had something that tied in with what they'd brought to us. They saw different as inferior, and they didn't ask us what it was that we had. And it's very sad because if they had asked... things may have been different today."

Under the Act 1E. 1967-1997Before 1788It is not known how many people lived in Australia before the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788. In 1930 the anthropologist Radcliffe-Brown estimated that the pre- contact Aboriginal population was around 300000, with about 40 000 in New South Wales. More recent studies indicate that the figure was probably around one million for the whole continent and much greater than 40 000 for New South Wales. According to many Aboriginal beliefs people have been in Australia since the beginning - the Dreaming. It is known from the work of archaeologists that human occupation of Australia dates back at least 60 000 years. The first people probably came from South-East Asia. Where they landed, whether there was more than one 'wave' of people, which routes they took as they spread out over the continent, and how their numbers increased are matters for much study and discussion. However, by the time the British arrived in 1788, all parts of Australia were part of the territory of a particular linguistic group or 'tribe', This occupation and use of the entire continent provides the legal and moral basis for Aboriginal land-right claims to certain areas today. Social organisation Before European settlement, the area that was to become New South Wales hosted seventy or more Aboriginal languages and dialects, although views regarding this number vary considerably and some estimates are significantly higher (Hosking et al 2000). These 'traditional' or 'ancestral' languages, as they are sometimes referred to, include: Muruwari, Ngiyampaa, Paakantji and Yandruwandha in northwest NSW Mathi-mathi, Paakantji and Wiradjuri in southwest NSW Gamilaraay, Muruwari, Ngiyampaa, Wangkumara, Wiradjuri and Yuwaalaraay in central NSW Anewan (Nganyaywana), Birpai, Bundjalung, Dhangadi, Gadhang, Gamilaraay, Gidabul, Gumbaynggirr, Ngarrabul, Wonarua, Yaygirr in northeast NSW Awabakal, Bidawal, Dharawal, Dharuk, Dhurga, Gundangara, Monero, Ngarigu, Ngunawal, Walbanga, Wandandian and Yorta Yorta in southeast NSW."

Aboriginal peoples were lived in tribes and were nomadic. They moved from place to place in search of food and water. For food, Aboriginal people caught fish and shellfish from the sea and rivers, hunted kangaroos, possums and birds, collected plants or caught lizards. They used wood, bone and shells to make tools and weapons. When the natural resources of an area began to run low, Aboriginal people moved on to the next place. They did not farm the land, plant or harvest crops or herd animals See image 1Treatment of Aboriginal people In the winter of 1791, when George Vancouver claimed the Albany region in Western Australia in the name of King George III, the process of British colonisation began. Initially, the European explorers had reasonably friendly relations with the Aboriginal people. Governor Phillip always encouraged the new settlers to treat Aboriginal people fairly. Phillip traded items such as axes and cloth with Aboriginal people in exchange for food and water."

Australian Stories also contain links to sites that may use images of Aboriginal and Islander people now deceased. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures are complex and diverse. The Indigenous cultures of Australia are the oldest living cultural history in the world – they go back at least 50,000 years and some argue closer to 65,000 years. One of the reasons Aboriginal cultures have survived for so long is their ability to adapt and change over time. It was this affinity with their surroundings that goes a long way to explaining how Aboriginal people survived for so many millennia. Cultural heritage is seen as 'the total ways of living built up by a group of human beings, which is passed from one generation to the next', given to them by reason of their birth. In Australia, Indigenous communities keep their cultural heritage alive by passing their knowledge, arts, rituals and performances from one generation to another, speaking and teaching languages, protecting cultural materials, sacred and significant sites, and objects.

"text": "\"Australian Aborigines - Indigenous Australians Indigenous Australians are the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of Australia, descended from groups that existed in Australia and surrounding islands prior to European colonization. The earliest definite human remains found in Australia are those of Mungo Man, which have been dated at about 40,000 years old, although the time of arrival of the first Indigenous Australians is a matter of debate among researchers, with estimates including thermoluminescence dating to between 61,000 and 52,000 years ago, as well as a suggestion of up to 125,000 years ago. There is great diversity among different Indigenous communities and societies in Australia, each with its own mixture of cultures, customs and languages. In present-day Australia these groups are further divided into local communities. At the time of initial European settlement, over 250 languages were spoken; it is currently estimated that 120 to 145 of these remain in use, but only 13 of these are not considered endangered. Aboriginal people today mostly speak English, with Aboriginal phrases and words being added to create Australian Aboriginal English (which also has a tangible influence of Indigenous languages in the phonology and grammatical structure). The population of Indigenous Australians at the time of permanent European settlement has been estimated at between 318,000 and 1,000,000 with the distribution being similar to that of the current Australian population, with the majority living in the south-east, centered along the Murray River. Since 1995, the Australian Aboriginal Flag and the Torres Strait Islander Flag have been among the official flags of Australia. Indigenous Australians teach us that reality is a dream or illusion. Within Aboriginal belief systems, a formative epoch known as the Dreamtime stretches back into the distant past when the creator ancestors known as the First Peoples traveled across the land, creating and naming as they went."

RATIONALIZATION: What happened back in the Paleolithic age doesn't really matter. We are different people today, in most every way. The diet of the Paleolithic is irrelevant nowadays given the new conditions we live under that must be coped with. REPLY: Genetically, we are in fact quite closely similar to the hunter- gatherers of the late Paleolithic era. As Eaton et al. [ 1988, p. 740] note: Accordingly, it appears that the [human] gene pool has changed little since anatomically modern humans, Homo sapiens sapiens, became widespread about 35,000 years ago and that, from a genetic standpoint, current humans are still late Paleolithic preagricultural hunter- gatherers. Because of the close (nearly identical) genetic similarity, the diet of Paleolithic times is relevant. Of course we do live under different circumstances, and we adapt accordingly."

During the war, Lincoln's leadership helped preserve the Union and emancipate over three million slaves. His ideas defined important goals of the war and inspired the war-weary public. People admired and respected President Lincoln, but many had strong negative feelings about him. Not unexpectedly, people in the South feared and even hated him, but people in the North also feared and even detested him. Even members of his own political party, the Republican Party, heaped scorn and ridicule on him. As the Civil War ended, he became the first American president to be assassinated. Perhaps no president in the country's history ever received as much spiteful vilification as President Lincoln. Nevertheless, he is now the nation's most beloved president, and historians and the general public regard him as the finest president in the country's history. People across the world revere him, the ideals he expressed, and the moving ways in which he expressed them."

"text": "\"U. S. Presidents Abraham Lincoln Abraham Lincoln: Impact and Legacy By Michael Burlingame In 1982, forty-nine historians and political scientists were asked by the Chicago Tribune to rate all the Presidents through Jimmy Carter in five categories: leadership qualities, accomplishments/crisis management, political skills, appointments, and character/integrity. At the top of the list stood Abraham Lincoln. He was followed by Franklin Roosevelt, George Washington, Theodore Roosevelt, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Woodrow Wilson, and Harry Truman. None of these other Presidents exceeded Lincoln in any category according to the rate scale. Roosevelt fell into second place because he did not measure up to Lincoln in character. Washington, close behind, ranked third because of his lesser political skills. It is the general opinion of pollsters, moreover, that the average American would probably put Lincoln at the top as well. In other words, the judgment of historians and the public tells us that Abraham Lincoln was the nation's greatest President by every measure applied. Interestingly, had the average Union citizen been asked the same question in the spring of 1863, there can be no doubt but that Lincoln would have fared poorly. Not much more could have been said for him even a year later, when Lincoln thought that he would lose his bid for reelection."

"text": "Abraham Lincoln and William H. Seward Featured Book John Taylor, William Henry Seward (Brassey’s 1991)William H. Seward, President Abraham Lincoln’s first and only secretary of state, was a force of political nature. Writer Henry Adams described Seward’s “slouching slender figure; a head like a wise macaw; a beaked nose; shaggy eyebrows; unorderly hair and clothes; hoarse voice; offhand manner; free talk; and perpetual cigar…” When entertaining “among friends, Mr. Seward threw off restraint, or seemed to throw it off, in reality, while the world he threw it off, like a politician, for effect.” 1 Journalist Charles Dana recalled that Seward had “a great, subtle, far-reaching intelligence. He was an optimist. He had imagination. He was reaching out always toward the future, and dwelling upon it.” 2“Seward is small in stature, big as to nose, light as to hair and eyes, averse to all attempts upon his portrait, and very republican in dress and manner of living,” wrote journalist Noah Brooks. “ He is affable and pleasant, accessible – from a newspaper point of view – smoking cigars always, ruffled or excited, never, astute, keen to perceive a joke, appreciate of a good thing, and fond of ‘good victuals,’ if not of luxurious furniture.” 3 In 1861, wrote biographer Van Deusen, “Seward was not quite sixty years old when he became Secretary of State. His wiry hair, now silvery white, was more apt than not to be disheveled; his clothes were scarcely ever in style; and he had a slight stoop from years of desk-sitting."

"text": "Abraham Lincoln and the Law A Honest Calling: The Law Practice of Abraham Lincoln Featured Book Mark E. Steiner, A Honest Calling: The Law Practice of Abraham Lincoln (Northern Illinois University Press, 2006) Abraham Lincoln’s persona was deeply rooted in reverence for law and rationality: “Let reverence for the laws be breathed by every American mother, to the lisping babe, that prattles on her lap – let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in college; – let it be written in Primmers, spelling books, and in Almanacs; – let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice. And, in short, let it become the political religion of the nation; and let the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the grave and the gay of all sexes and tongues and colors and conditions, sacrifice unceasingly upon its altars.” said Mr. Lincoln in his January 1838 speech to the “Young Men’s Lyceum in Springfield.” In that speech, Mr. Lincoln argued: “Reason, cold, calculating, unimpassioned reason, must furnish all the materials for our future support and defence. Let those materials be moulded into general intelligence, sound morality and, in particular, a reverence for the constitution and laws; and, that we improved to the last; that we remained free to the last; that we revered his name to the last; that during his long sleep, we permitted no hostile foot to pass over or desecrate his resting place; shall be that which to learn the last trump shall awaken our WASHINGTON.” 1 From the moment that Mr. Lincoln became a lawyer in 1837 until his nomination for President in 1860, the law was the center of Mr. Lincoln’s professional life. And Mr. Lincoln’s legal colleagues were the center of his political life. The law was Mr. Lincoln’s training ground for political argument and presidential leadership. Lincoln biographer Jesse W. Weik wrote: “Although a good lawyer it is doubtful if Lincoln held the law in any higher esteem than his colleagues; in fact, it looked, sometimes, as if he lost sight of its standing or value as a profession and viewed it rather as a vocation – simply as a means of gaining a livelihood. Judges Stephen T. Logan and David Davis were more deeply absorbed in it as a profession, but it was only that it might yield them greater financial returns, because both of them were careful and ambitious men, both accumulating comfortable fortunes.”"

Lincoln led the United States through its Civil War —its bloodiest war and perhaps its greatest moral, constitutional, and political crisis. [ 2] [3] In doing so, he preserved the Union, abolished slavery, strengthened the federal government, and modernized the economy. Born in Hodgenville, Kentucky, Lincoln grew up on the western frontier in Kentucky and Indiana. Largely self-educated, he became a lawyer in Illinois, a Whig Party leader, and was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives, in which he served for eight years. Elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1846, Lincoln promoted rapid modernization of the economy and opposed the Mexican–American War. After a single term, he returned to Illinois and resumed his successful law practice. Reentering politics in 1854, he became a leader in building the new Republican Party, which had a statewide majority in Illinois."

She is not easy to get along with, though I succeed pretty well with her,” wrote one Federal official who had frequent dealings with her. 1 Mary Todd Lincoln was described at the time she made her home in Springfield in 1839: “She was of the average height, weighing about a hundred and thirty pounds. She was rather compactly built, had a well rounded face, rich dark-brown hair, and bluish-gray eyes. In her bearing she was proud, but handsome and vivacious; she was a good conversationalist, using with equal fluency the French and English languages.” This observer wrote: “When she used a pen, its point was sure to be sharp, and she wrote with wit and ability. She not only had a quick intellect but an intuitive judgment of men and their motives. Ordinarily she was affable and even charming in her manners; but when offended or antagonized she could be very bitter and sarcastic. In her figure and physical proportions, in education, bearing, temperament, history — in everything she was the exact reverse of Lincoln.”"

Lincoln was the first member of the recently-established Republican Party elected to the presidency. He was succeeded by Vice President Andrew Johnson. Lincoln presided over the Union victory in the American Civil War, which dominated his presidency. Lincoln took office following the 1860 presidential election, in which he won a plurality of the popular vote in a four-candidate field. Almost all of Lincoln's votes came from the Northern United States, as the Republicans held little appeal to voters in the Southern United States. A former Whig, Lincoln ran on a political platform opposed to the expansion of slavery in the territories. His election served as the immediate impetus for the outbreak of the American Civil War. During the 16 weeks between Election Day and Inauguration Day, seven slave states declared their secession from the Union and formed the Confederate States of America. After being sworn in as president, Lincoln refused to accept any resolution that would result in Southern secession from the Union."

Little is known of his mother, Nancy Hanks, who died in 1818, not long after the family had settled in the wilds of what is now Spencer co., Ind. Thomas Lincoln soon afterward married Sarah Bush Johnston, a widow; she was a kind and affectionatestepmother to the boy. Abraham had almost no formal schooling—the scattered weeks of schoolattendance in Kentucky and Indiana amounted to less than a year; but he taught himself, readingand rereading a small stock of books. His first glimpse of the wider world came in a voyagedownriver to New Orleans on a flatboat in 1828, but little is known of that journey. In 1830 the Lincolns moved once more, this time to Macon co., Ill. After another visit to New Orleans, the young Lincoln settled in 1831 in the village of New Salem, Ill. ,not far from Springfield. There he began by working in a store and managing a mill."

Thousands of this image were made and sold. Abraham Lincoln was the 16th and the most beloved of all American presidents, although at the time he engendered intense political controversy, in both the north and south. Lincoln was the first strong president since Polk. While his election precpitated the Civil War, it was clear by 1860 that the southern states were preparing to secede and only Federal military force could prevent. Abhorring war, Abraham Lincoln accepted it as the only means to save the Union."

Young Lincoln received little formal schooling and was largely self-taught. The family moved to Indiana and later to Illinois. In 1831, Abe Lincoln moved to New Salem, Illinois, near Springfield. He held various jobs there, including storekeeper and mill operator. In 1832, he led a militia contingent in the Black Hawk War, but saw no action. Back in New Salem, Lincoln failed in the grocery business, incurring a heavy debt. He worked as a surveyor and rail-splitter and began the study of law. Beginning his political career as a Whig, Lincoln was elected to the first of four terms in the Illinois legislature in 1834. Two years later, he was admitted to the bar and subsequently embarked upon several law partnership ventures, the most notable being that with William Herndon, later a Lincoln biographer."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Abraham Lincoln16th President of the United States Abraham Lincoln ' s position on slavery is one of the most discussed issues in American history. Lincoln often expressed moral opposition to slavery in public and private. [ 1] Initially, he expected to bring about the eventual extinction of slavery by stopping its further expansion into any U. S. territory, and by proposing compensated emancipation (an offer Congress applied to Washington, D. C.) in his early presidency. Lincoln stood by the Republican Party 's platform of 1860, which stated that slavery should not be allowed to expand into any more U. S. territories. He believed that the extension of slavery in new western lands would block \"\"free labor on free soil\"\", and he also wanted a peaceful, enduring end to slavery. As early as the 1850s, Lincoln had been politically attacked as an abolitionist, but he did not consider himself one. Howard Jones says that \"\"in the prewar period, as well as into the first months of the American Civil War itself.... Lincoln believed it prudent to administer a slow death to slavery through gradual emancipation and voluntary colonization rather than to follow the abolitionist and demanding an immediate end to slavery without compensation to owners.\"\" [ 2] In 1863, Lincoln ordered the freedom of all slaves in the areas \"\"in rebellion\"\" (the Confederacy) and insisted on enforcement freeing millions of slaves, but he did not call for the immediate end of slavery everywhere in the U. S. until the proposed 13th Amendment became part of his party platform for the 1864 election. [ 3]In 1842, Abraham Lincoln had married Mary Todd, who was a daughter of a slave-owning family from Kentucky. [ 4] Lincoln returned to the political stage as a result of the 1854 Kansas–Nebraska Act and soon became a leading opponent of the \"\" Slaveocracy \"\"—the political power of the Southern slave owners."

See emancipation proclamation text Emancipation Proclamation summary: The Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, as the country entered the third year of the Civil War. It declared that \"\"all persons held as slaves … shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free\"\"—but it applied only to states designated as being in rebellion, not to the slave-holding border states of Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, and Missouri or to areas of the Confederacy that had already come under Union control. The careful planning of this document, with Lincoln releasing it at just the right moment in the war, ensured that it had a great positive impact on the Union efforts and redefined the purpose of the war. The Emancipation Proclamation continues to be a symbol of equality and social justice. The First Confiscation Act In August 1861, Congress passed the First Confiscation Act, authorizing the confiscation of any property—including slaves—used in the rebellion against the U. S. government. Later that month, Union major general John C. Fremont, commander of the Department of the West, issued an order declaring martial law in Missouri and freeing all slaves held by Missouri secessionists. In a letter dated September 11 that was published in Union newspapers, Lincoln ordered Fremont to change his order to conform to the First Confiscation Act, afraid that linking abolition with the war would cause the slave-holding border states to rebel. When it became clear that Fremont would not revoke or amend the order, Lincoln removed him from command and revoked the order himself. Under political pressure, he later appointed Fremont to the newly formed Mountain Department in West Virginia."

Three years later he opened his own shop in Greeneville, Tennessee. Johnson took a keen interest in politics and his tailor shop became the home of a discussion group. A strong advocate of improved political rights for poor whites, Johnson helped form the Workingman's Party. After serving as a local alderman and mayor, he was elected to the state senate (1841) and congress (1843). After joining the Democratic Party, Johnson was elected as governor of Tennessee (1853-57) and in 1856 was elected to the U. S. Senate. He was a mainstream Democrat favouring lower tariffs and opposing anti-slavery legislation. However, Johnson disapproved when Tennessee seceded from the union in June, 1861."

They were trying out for the movie roles of Tom Sawyer and Becky Thatcher. Anne was so scared, her kneecaps began twitching up and down uncontrollably. They were just kids, and to them the casting director looked like a giant behind his big office desk. Embarrassed, Anne and Monty struggled through the scene, trying not to look at each other. It was just a peck on the cheek, but they didn’t want to do it. Finally, Monty awkwardly brushed his lips against her cheek. Not surprisingly, they didn’t get the parts, and they wouldn’t work together again until making a Hitchcock film fifteen years later. It was an appropriate beginning for what would turn out to be a distinguished, and yet difficult, career."

His father and mother, actress Dolores Costello divorced in his infancy and he claimed to remember seeing his father only once. His mother attempted to keep him from the acting life, sending him to St. John's Military Academy and intending that he attend college. But young Barrymore rebelled and signed a movie contract at 17. He chose not to apprentice in the theatre in small roles, leaping blindly into leading roles then bailing out of them at least twice before ever managing to make his stage debut. Although his family, especially his aunt Ethel Barrymore, was humiliated by the embarrassment these failures brought to the Barrymore name, he received encouragement from them as well. His rebellious nature began to cause him great personal and professional difficulty. He had repeated scrapes with the law and was jailed numerous times for drunkenness and spousal abuse. ( He had married actress Cara Williams .) In 1958 he changed his name to John Drew Barrymore and had a brief resurgence in film, appearing in leading roles in several not completely uninteresting projects."

Scream is an American horror slasher film series created in 1996 by Kevin Williamson and directed by Wes Craven features a large cast of actors and actresses. The main star of the films is Canadian actress Neve Campbell who played the heroine Sidney Prescott who is accompanied by ambitious news reporter Gale Weathers, played by Courteney Cox, and the protective Dewey Riley, played by David Arquette, who appear in all four Scream films. The characters are accompanied by film-geek Randy Meeks, played by Jamie Kennedy, in the first three films and Cotton Weary, played by Liev Schreiber, in Scream 2 and Scream 3. The series consists of four films, Scream (1996), Scream 2 (1997), Scream 3 (2000) and most recently Scream 4 (2011), with all of the films being directed by Wes Craven and scored by Marco Beltrami. Kevin Williamson wrote Scream, Scream 2 and Scream 4 but scheduling commitments meant he could provide only notes for Scream 3, with writing duties instead helmed by Ehren Kruger. The Weinstein Company has stated that the success of Scream 4 could lead to potential sequels and a new Scream trilogy, [1] with Arquette, [2] Craven [1] and Williamson [3] all having been contracted or expressed interest in appearing in future installments. However, the Weinsteins eventually stated the franchise would only continue through Scream: The TV Series, a television production that debuted on MTV in 2015. [ 4] [5]The series is notable in the horror genre for casting established and popular actors which, before Scream (1996), was uncommon and difficult, the genre not taken seriously by mainstream actors. In particular, its cast of famous female actresses such as Drew Barrymore and Courteney Cox in prominent, strong roles was considered to give the genre credibility and allow future Scream and other horror films to attract big name actors with greater ease.

Fifteen showbiz luminaries can proudly call themselves members of SNL 's esteemed and star-studded Five-Timers Club — or, hosts who've braved the weekly task of emceeing the sketch show five times or more. When THR gathered 13 of them for the covers of its SNL 40th anniversary issue (writer-actor Buck Henry was ill and Bill Murray doesn't answer his cellphone), stories and laughs flew with abandon as these A-list actor and musicians revealed their scariest moments, favorite sketches and insights on why the Empire that Lorne Built matters now more than ever. Listen in as SNL creator Lorne Michaels chats with Tom Hanks (eight-time host), Danny De Vito (six), Candice Bergen (five), Paul Simon (four as host, eight as musical guest), John Goodman (13), Drew Barrymore (six), Alec Baldwin (16), Elliot Gould (six), Christopher Walken (seven), Chevy Chase (eight), Justin Timberlake (five) and Ben Affleck (five) about their wild-and-craziest tales from braving TV's toughest gig.

The same thing happened to Gwyneth Paltrow, J. J. Abrams, Christian Bale and others. In the golden age of Hollywood the way to get discovered was to saddle up to the soda fountain at Schwab's Pharmacy on Sunset Boulevard. Sadly, Schwab's closed in 1983, so the modern-day equivalent might just be having the right kind of casual encounter with Steven Spielberg. Alden Ehrenreich, the actor who was just cast as the young Han Solo for the untitled Star Wars spinoff, was discovered by Spielberg at the bat mitzvah of a friend of his daughter Sasha. Spielberg attended with Sasha and was impressed by Ehrenreich's \"\"performance\"\" in a homemade video played at the event. Ehrenreich, who grew up in Pacific Palisades where Spielberg lives, laughed about it in an interview with Rolling Stone. \"\" It's a piece of shit,\"\" he recounted. \"\" It's a video that this girl asked us to do. I mean, there wasn't a script: We would go and just film whatever made us laugh."

The Nazi hope was to win a majority in the second round. This pamphlet was released within a week or two of that election, and aims to present Hitler as the only person able to save Germany, a capable politician who has been slandered by a fightened opposition. It seems to be aimed at the electorate in general rather than a specific group. I also have a pamphlet on Hitler issued a month or so earlier during the first round of the presidential election, Dagobert Dürr’s Adolf Hitler der deutsche Arbeiter und Frontsoldat (Munich: Eher, 1932). The source: Tatsachen und Lügen um Hitler (Munich: Franz Eher, 1932). Facts and Lies about Hitler The Führer as a Person Two men stand at the fore in the battle for power in Germany, and behind each two mighty columns of the German people march. One man is the 85-year-old Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, the other is the 43-year-old man of the people and front soldier Adolf Hitler. Behind one of them are the defeated parties of the System and special interests who are trying to extend their 14 years of rule for several more years by exploiting the halo of the venerable army leader, behind the other is the New Germany’s army of millions, who are not only demanding a reckoning, but control of the state itself."

He was most known for his for his central leadership role in the rise of fascism in Europe, World War II and The Holocaust. Disclaimer: We all know Hitler was a bad guy. A really, really bad guy. This leadership study is for educational purposes, and we trust that you’ll use this information for good. A Short Biography Hitler was born in an Inn in the Austrian-Hungary border as the fourth of six children to Alois Hitler and Klara Pölzl. For his education, Hitler joined a Catholic school, joined the church choir and even thought of being a priest when he grew up. His father had wishes for him to join a technical school, but Hitler was more interested in the arts. This led to many arguments, bitterness and rebellion on Hitler’s part. As a result, Hitler became pro-Germany as a statement of rebellion because his father served the Austrian government."

Adolf Hitler would one day lead a movement that placed supreme importance on a person's family tree even making it a matter of life and death. However, his own family tree was quite mixed up and would be a lifelong source of embarrassment and concern to him. His father, Alois, was born in 1837. He was the illegitimate son of Maria Anna Schicklgruber and her unknown mate, which may have been someone from the neighborhood or a poor millworker named Johann Georg Hiedler. It is also remotely possible Adolf Hitler's grandfather was Jewish. ADVERTISEMENTMaria Schicklgruber was said to have been employed as a cook in the household of a wealthy Jewish family named Frankenberger. There is some speculation their 19-year-old son got her pregnant and regularly sent her money after the birth of Alois. Adolf Hitler would never know for sure just who his grandfather was. He did know that when his father Alois was about five years old, Maria Schicklgruber married Johann Georg Hiedler."

In 1919, he joined the German Workers' Party (DAP), the precursor of the NSDAP, and was appointed leader of the NSDAP in 1921. In 1923, he attempted to seize power in a failed coup in Munich and was imprisoned. While in jail he dictated the first volume of his autobiography and political manifesto Mein Kampf (\"\"My Struggle\"\"). Released in 1924, Hitler gained popular support by attacking the Treaty of Versailles and promoting Pan-Germanism, anti-semitism and anti-communism with charismatic oratory and Nazi propaganda.

He was leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party ( Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP), better known as the Nazi Party. Hitler gained power in a Germany facing crisis after World War I. Using propaganda and charismatic oratory, he was able to appeal to the economic need of the lower and middle classes, while sounding resonant chords of nationalism, anti-Semitism and anti-communism. With the establishment of a restructured economy, a rearmed military, and a totalitarian fascist dictatorship, Hitler pursued an aggressive foreign policy with the intention of expanding German Lebensraum (\"\"living space\"\"), which triggered World War II when Germany invaded Poland. At its greatest extent, Nazi Germany occupied most of Europe, but along with the other Axis Powers was eventually defeated by the Allies. By then, Hitler's racial policies had culminated in a genocide of approximately eleven million people, including about six million Jews, in what is now known as the Holocaust. In the final days of the war, Hitler along with his new wife, Eva Braun, committed suicide in his underground bunker in Berlin, after the city was surrounded by the Russian army.

The result of the harsh treatment of Germany in the peace terms gave rise to Adolf Hitler and National So- cialism. The Treaty of Versailles was a harsh and demanding document reflecting tremen- dous hatred for Germany and demands for reparations that reached the level of extortion. France sought to pin the entire war squarely on the shoulders of the German people. The aim was to turn Germany into an agrarian society that would never again be able to wage war. What the treaty accomplished was to incite anger and frustration in the German peo- ple that led to the rise of their “savior”, Adolf Hitler. In fact, Section VII of the Treaty stated the following: The Allied and Associated Governments affirm, and Ger- many accepts, the responsibility of herself and her allies for causing all the loss and damage to which the Allied and Associated Governments and their nationals have been subjected as a consequence of the war imposed upon them by the aggression of Germany and other allies.1 While this same language would be used in the treaties with Aus- tria-Hungary and Bulgaria, the Germans took unique exception to what they claimed was a direct charge of causing the World War. In fact, Ger- many had not instigated the conflagration, although she contributed greatly to the massive destruction in Belgium and France. Couple that with the U-boat attacks against merchant vessels which resulted in the loss of civilian lives, Germany was perceived as the great evil.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Adolf Hitler's religious beliefs)navigation search Adolf Hitler in 1927, rehearsing his oratorical gestures; photo by Heinrich Hoffmann, Bundesarchiv Adolf Hitler's religious beliefs have been a matter of debate; the wide consensus of historians consider him to have been irreligious, anti-Christian, anti-clerical and scientistic. [ 1] In light of evidence such as his fierce criticism and vocal rejection of the tenets of Christianity, [2] numerous private statements to confidants denouncing Christianity as a harmful superstition, [1] and his strenuous efforts to reduce the influence and independence of Christianity in Germany after he came to power, Hitler's major academic biographers conclude that he was irreligious and an opponent of Christianity. [ 1] Historian Laurence Rees found no evidence that \"\"Hitler, in his personal life, ever expressed belief in the basic tenets of the Christian church\"\". [ 3] Hitler's remarks to confidants, as described in the Goebbels Diaries, the memoirs of Albert Speer, and transcripts of Hitler's private conversations recorded by Martin Bormann in Hitler's Table Talk, are further evidence of his irreligious and anti-Christian beliefs; [1] these sources record a number of private remarks in which Hitler ridicules Christian doctrine as absurd, contrary to scientific advancement, and socially destructive. [ 1] [4]Hitler, attempting to appeal to the German masses during his political campaign and leadership, sometimes made declarations in support of religion and against atheism. He stated in a speech that atheism (a concept he linked with Communism and \"\"Jewish materialism\"\") had been \"\"stamped out\"\", [5] and banned the German Freethinkers League in 1933. [ 6] Hitler was born to a practising Catholic mother, and was baptised in the Roman Catholic Church. In 1904, acquiescing to his mother's wish, he was confirmed at the Roman Catholic Cathedral in Linz, Austria, where the family lived. [ 7]In his book Mein Kampf and in public speeches prior to and in the early years of his rule, he affirmed a belief in Christianity. [ 8] [9] Hitler and the Nazi party promoted \"\" Positive Christianity \"\", [10] a movement which rejected most traditional Christian doctrines such as the divinity of Jesus, as well as Jewish elements such as the Old Testament.

Alexander Graham Bell is often credited as the inventor of the telephone since he was awarded the first successful patent. However, there were many other inventors such as Elisha Gray and Antonio Meucci who also developed a talking telegraph. Attributing the true inventor or inventors to a specific invention can be tricky business. Often credit goes to the inventor of the most practical or best working invention rather than to the original inventor (s).

Throughout his life, he sought to foster the advancement of scientific knowledge with his utmost dedication and sincere efforts. His career only began in earnest after his family moved from London, England to Ontario, Canada in an attempt to improve his health. He started as an elocution teacher for the deaf people where he worked tirelessly to spread an early form of sign language across America. He displayed his innovative talent with his invention of various sound recording and transmission devices. In his later years, his research interests shifted away from transmission devices to transport, including both aeronautics and experimental forms of boats that would later progress to become known as hydrofoils. His greatest achievement remains the invention of the telephone that has changed and continues to change the way people communicate around the world. He was a pioneer, who gifted mankind with one of the most astonishing and trailblazing discoveries in human history, the telephone."

Have students search on harmonic telegraph for information on his early experiments in improving the use of the telegraph. In a letter to his parents, Bell writes of an offer to finance his work on a \"\"multiple telegraph\"\".

They provided service to the majority of the people living in the United States, and the center of the Bell System network was once the largest computer in the world. Bell System was known for providing the highest-quality telephone parts in the United States, but that ended in 1984. The telephone components were then manufactured by foreign companies for Western Electric, a leading telephone company. In the beginning On March 10th, 1876, when Alexander Graham Bell spoke into the transmitting instrument, \"\"Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you,\"\" he could already envision a great national telephone system. As he wrote to his father that evening, \"\"I feel that I have at last found the solution of a great problem, and the day is coming when telegraph wires will be laid on to houses just like water or gas is, and friends will converse with each other without leaving homes. \"\" All of this and more would come true, of course, but even the optimistic inventor could not have predicted what would grow to be an association of companies that held his name, the Bell System.

Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Hey Vikramdar, Here is a paragraph that answers your question, which can be found at the website referenced. No one person invented the hearing aid. Hearing aids fashioned from horns, sea shells, or other natural material probably existed long before the ear trumpet was first manufactured. Giovanni Battista Porta was most likely the first to actually describe one of these early hearing aids. Porta wrote a book entitled Natural Magick, published in 1588, in which he describes wooden aids shaped like animal ears. How widespread these homemade aids were is difficult to say. In 1627 Francis Bacon wrote about the value of ear trumpets to the deaf as well as the use of speaking tubes. These hearing devices were probably not manufactured in the way we know it today. Most were created for specific users and reflected their tastes and needs."

"text": "\"Well, that may depend on your ethnic heritage or the country you live in to some degree. Because it is possible for more than one person to come up with the same idea in roughly the same moment in time, there could have been more than one inventor of the telephone. Although Alexander Graham Bell is considered the inventor of the telephone in the USA, Canada, and Scotland, other countries that had no historical affiliation with him tend to look for possible inventors of their own ethnic background or their own country as THE inventor of the telephone. Several web sites address this never-ending debate and it is doubtful that there is any way of proving who really came up with the idea and put it into practice first. Even here in the USA, many court battles were fought between Bell and several challengers to his right to be called the inventor of the telephone. At the end of this page are some links to external web sites that discuss some of these other contenders. But first, read the following section from a book titled \"\" The History of the Telephone \"\" BY HERBERT N. CASSON - First edition - A. C. Mc Clurg & Co., Chicago - Published: 1910. The following paragraphs from the book give an account of some of the court battles that Bell went through in defending his claim as the inventor of the telephone:\"\"After Gray, the weightiest challenger who came against Bell was Professor Amos E. Dolbear, of Tufts College. He, like Gray, had written a letter of applause to Bell in 1877. \"\" I congratulate you, sir,\"\" he said, \"\"upon your very great invention, and I hope to see it supplant all forms of existing telegraphs, and that you will be successful in obtaining the wealth and honor which is your due.\"\""

Some of the inventors credited with inventing the telephone include Antonio Meucci, Philip Reis, Elisha Gray and Alexander Graham Bell.

"text": "News The inept doctor who killed President Garfield By Larry Getlen September 22, 2016 | 4:08pm In 1881, after being shot by a would-be assassin, President James Garfield languished in the care of Dr. D. W. Bliss, a man with whom he had a long and friendly history. No device existed that could locate a bullet within a human body, and doctors couldn’t remove a bullet without knowing where it was. So Alexander Graham Bell, the recent inventor of the telephone, created a device to do just that. Modal Trigger An engraving of James A. Garfield’s assassination, published in Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper. Working urgently, he came up with the induction balance, a coiled device that could detect metal in the human body. Testing it on Civil War soldiers with bullet fragments inside them, he verified the device worked as intended. For all its successful tests, it only failed twice — the two times Bell tried to find the bullet inside the president. He was baffled about why it failed until he learned that Bliss hadn’t followed his instructions to remove the box spring to the president’s bed, which contained metal coils that would interfere with the detector. Bell sought a third attempt with the box spring removed, but Bliss made a public announcement about Bell’s failure, and declared the device ineffective. Charles Guiteau, the man who shot Garfield on July 2, 1881, has gone down in history as Garfield’s assassin."

This list covers innovation and invention in the mechanical, electronic, and industrial fields, as well as medicine, military devices and theory, artistic and scientific discovery and innovation, and ideas in religion and ethics. The scientific revolution in 17th century Europe stimulated innovation and discovery in Britain. [ 1] Experimentation was considered central to innovation by groups such as the Royal Society, which was founded in 1660. The English patent system evolved from its medieval origins into a system that recognised intellectual property; this encouraged invention and spurred on the Industrial Revolution from the late 18th century. [ 2] During the 19th century, innovation in Britain led to revolutionary changes in manufacturing, the development of factory systems, and growth of transportation by railway and steam ship that spread around the world. [ 3] In the 20th century, Britain's rate of innovation, measured by patents registered, [4] slowed in comparison to other leading economies. Nonetheless, science and technology in Britain continued to develop rapidly in absolute terms.

Bell's father, grandfather, and brother had all been associated with work on elocution and speech, and both his mother and wife were deaf, profoundly influencing Bell's life's work. His research on hearing and speech further led him to experiment with hearing devices which eventually culminated in Bell being awarded the first U. S. patent for the telephone in 1876. In retrospect, Bell considered his most famous invention an intrusion on his real work as a scientist and refused to have a telephone in his study. Many other inventions marked Bell's later life, including groundbreaking work in optical telecommunications, hydrofoils and aeronautics. In 1888, Alexander Graham Bell became one of the founding members of the National Geographic Society. Alexander Graham Bell was featured on a U. S. postage stamp issued in 1940. Bell House in Colonial Beach, Virginia was a summer home of Alexander Graham Bell. It was built in 1883 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987."

Make your own judgment as to what happened to Elisa Lam, but note that the title of this post is “ What killed Elisa Lam,” not “ Who killed Elisa Lam”. On February 19, 2013, t he body of Elisa Lam (pic above), a 21-year-old college student from Vancouver, Canada, was found in a gigantic water tank on the roof of Cecil Hotel, a rundown hotel in Los Angeles’ tenderloin district which marketed itself as cheap lodging for international tourists but also rented rooms to long-term residents. The young woman had traveled alone to California for tourism, arriving on January 27. Reportedly in daily contact with her parents in Vancouver, Lam was last seen by hotel employees on January 31, which meant her body had been in the water tank for more than two weeks. Indeed, for two weeks guests at the Cecil Hotel had complained of low water pressure and a foul taste in the water. After the discovery of Lam’s body, L. A. County health officials at first issued a do-not-drink order. After conducting two tests of the water, officials declared the water was safe from a “microbiological standpoint.”"

Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby next, and the female lead, Daisy Buchanan, has not been cast. Daisy, played in a 1974 version of the story by Mia Farrow, is a 23-year-old heiress described as \"\"engaging and attractive, pampered and superficial with a largely ignored three-year-old daughter. \"\" She may have been based on Fitzgerald's wife, Zelda, \"\"the first American flapper,\"\" or on Ginevra King, a World War I-era Chicago debutante with whom Fitzgerald was infatuated. Fitzgerald and King had a romance that was not to be; King allegedly inspired Fitzgerald to write the words: \"\"Poor boys shouldn't think of marrying rich girls. \"\" According to Wikipedia: On July 15, 1918, King wrote to Fitzgerald, telling of her engagement to William Mitchell, the son of her father's business associate. They married later that year and had three children. Then in 1937, she left Mitchell for businessman John T. Pirie, Jr. (of the Chicago department store Carson Pirie Scott & Company). That year she also met Fitzgerald for the last time in Hollywood; when she asked which character was based on her in The Beautiful and Damned, Fitzgerald replied, \"\"Which bitch do you think you are? \"\" So who should play this pretty, heart-breaking heiress? Some choices: Rebecca Hall At a table reading of the script, Luhrmann had Rebecca read the part of Daisy, with Tobey Maguire reading Nick Carraway (the Midwestern narrator who rents a bungalow between mansions) and Leonardo Di Caprio reading Jay Gatsby (the wealthy, mysterious man with the mansion next door)."

It is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sharing continuity with the films of the franchise, and was produced by ABC Studios, Marvel Television, and Mutant Enemy Productions. Jed Whedon, Maurissa Tancharoen, and Jeffrey Bell served as showrunners. Agents of S. H. I. E. L.

Health officials said the victim, identified on a Facebook page created in his honor as Blake Driggers, of Sumter County, was exposed to a deadly organism called Naegleria fowleri. ‘While this organism is present in many warm water lakes, rivers and streams in the South, infection in humans is extremely rare,’ DHEC Director Catherine Templeton told WBTV. ‘ Naegleria fowleri almost always results in death. ’Untimely death: Blake Driggers, 8, succumbed to a rare brain infection caused by a deadly organism called Naegleria fowleri Officials have not released the child’s name or age, saying that it would be in violation of federal law, but according to a message posted on the Facebook page called Prayers for Blake Driggers, the child passed away on Tuesday from the infection. Facts about Naegleria fowleri An amoeba that lives predominately in warm, fresh water It's acquired when infected water is forcibly aspirated into the nose. This can occur through recreational swimming, diving, or during sports like water skiing Once acquired, the amoeba travels into the brain, causing primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM)PAM is very rare, and there are only a few cases reported each year in the U. S. People with PAM initially experience changes in smell or taste. The disease advances rapidly, causing fever, stiff neck, and coma Infection diagnosed by examining spinal fluid under microscope to ID the amoeba Naegleria fowleri may also be grown in the lab, although this takes several days. Newer tests are being developed The treatment of choice is an intravenous drug called amphotericin B. Amphotericin B may also be instilled directly into the brain More than 95 per cent of cases of PAM are fatal despite treatment*source: Medicine Net.com Because the symptoms are very similar to bacterial meningitis, PAM may not even be considered in the diagnosis. Family friends said Driggers began complaining of a fever and headaches after a trip to the beach last weekend."

See Example (s)EXAMPLESCollected via IMDb, 2009In a surprise twist at the end of the episode, the characters learn that Blake’s plane was shot down en route to Japan, and everyone aboard died. This was kept a surprise from the cast (with one exception, Alan Alda) until the moment when Gary Burghoff’s character ran into the operating room to announce the news. The producers’ intent was to capture the cast’s genuine shock and surprise, and to remind the audience that war takes friend and foe alike. RATINGfalse ORIGINDeath was one of the many subjects that was rarely allowed to intrude into television series of the 1950s and 60s. Although nowadays characters who are “written out” of TV shows often shuffle off this mortal coil from disease, accident, or homicide (fates that claimed several regular characters on the hospital drama ER alone), that phenomenon was unheard of in television’s first few decades. Part of the reason why producers of television series in the 1950s and 60s were loath to kill off their characters was simply good business sense: If a character had to be dropped because the actor who portrayed him was no longer available (due to illness, a contract dispute, or the actor’s desire to leave television for film roles or other ventures), finding a way to write out the character without ending his life allowed for a smooth reintroduction should the actor later return to the fold. ( The producers of Dallas famously faced a knotty problem when they killed off Bobby Ewing after actor Patrick Duffy quit the series, then had to find a way to resurrect the character when Duffy rejoined the cast a year later.)"

Her sister, Muriel, is born two years later. Amelia lives primarily with her maternal grandparents in Atchison during the school year and spends summers with her parents in Kansas City. Despite her grandmother?s disapproval, Amelia spends her free time roaming the outdoors — riding imaginary horses, climbing trees, sledding, and hunting.1908 Amelia rejoins her parents in Des Moines, Iowa. She sees an airplane for the first time at the Iowa State Fair and later recalls being unimpressed — “It was a thing of rusty wire and wood and looked not at all interesting.” It was not until a decade later, at a stunt-flying exhibition, that Amelia's passion for flight is awakened.1910-1915 These are turbulent, difficult years for Amelia and her family.

"text": "Explore theories about Amelia Earhart’s final days—some more plausible than others. Theory #1: Earhart ran out of fuel, crashed and perished in the Pacific Ocean. This is one of the most generally accepted versions of the famous aviator’s disappearance. Many experts believe Amelia Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan got slightly off course en route to a refueling stop at Howland Island in the Pacific Ocean. Earhart radioed U. S. Coast Guard ships stationed in the area, reporting that neither she nor Noonan could spot the tiny island where they were supposed to land. According to the so-called “crash-and-sink” theory, the plane eventually ran out of gas and plunged into the ocean, killing both Earhart and Noonan. It then sank, leaving no sign of their whereabouts. Theory #2: Earhart landed safely on Gardner Island but died before she could be rescued. In this scenario, Earhart missed her intended Pacific Ocean refueling site, Howland Island, but spotted Gardner Island (now called Nikumaroro), an uninhabited coral atoll nearby. She landed safely but died before she could be rescued."

Measurements indicate that a partial skeleton found on a remote Pacific island in 1940 could have belonged to the pilot, researchers with The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery announced on Oct. 22. The bones’ potential connection to Earhart was dismissed at the time because a British doctor said they belonged to a male. It wasn’t until 1998 that TIGHAR reviewed the doctor’s records and determined that they appear “consistent with a female of Earhart’s height and ethnic origin. ”Forensic anthropologists only recently noticed that the forearms of the skeleton seemed to be longer than average, prompting them to study photos of Earhart to try to determine the length of her arms. Her measurements are “virtually identical” to those of the bones uncovered 76 years ago, TIGHAR concluded. “The match does not, of course, prove that the castaway was Amelia Earhart but it is a significant new data point that tips the scales further in that direction,” the nonprofit stated in a release."

In late October, after seizing a chance to compare his aluminum sheet against an Electra under restoration in Kansas, he announced that the rivet holes and other features were the equivalent of “a fingerprint” establishing that it had come from Earhart’s plane, leading some news organizations to declare the case closed (Discovery News headline: “Amelia Earhart Plane Fragment Identified”).

"text": "Earhart Becomes Second Person to Fly Solo Across Atlantic Aviation phenomenon Amelia Earhart first made headlines in 1928 when she became the first woman to cross the Atlantic as a passenger on a trans-Atlantic airplane flight. Though she received international fame, Earhart did not think she deserved it; “I was just baggage, like a sack of potatoes,” she remarked. Four years later, Earhart attempted to make the flight on her own. Just one person, Charles Lindbergh, had flown solo across the Atlantic. A female aviator, Ruth Nichols, had attempted the flight in 1931, but had crashed in Canada. On May 20, 1932, five years to the day after Lindbergh’s flight, Earhart took off from Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, in her red Lockheed Vega 5B. She encountered many difficulties; “Earhart fought fatigue, a leaky fuel tank, and a cracked manifold that spewed flames out the side of the engine cowling,” writes the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum. “ Ice formed on the Vega's wings and caused an unstoppable 3,000-foot descent to just above the waves.” She had planned to fly to Paris—the same destination as Lindbergh—but the weather and mechanical problems forced her to land at a farm near Derry, Ireland, completing the flight in 14 hours and 56 minutes. She described her landing in a pasture: “After scaring most of the cows in the neighborhood, I pulled up in a farmer’s back yard. ”Related Content Wright Brothers’ First Flight Howard Hughes’ “Spruce Goose”Charles Lindbergh“ Many have said that the last great spectacular feat of this sort which remained in aviation would be a solitary Atlantic crossing by a woman,” the Manchester Guardian wrote. “"

"text": "\"This paper was originally published in the World War II section of the Marianas History Conference 2012 website. Republished here by permission. Introduction The Mystery One of the abiding historical mysteries of the twentieth century in the Pacific is that of “what happened to Amelia Earhart.” Earhart, a pioneer in American aviation, and her equally pioneering navigator Fred Noonan, disappeared on July 2 nd 1937 en route from Lae, New Guinea to Howland Island in their two-engine aluminum Lockheed Electra 10E, during an attempt to circle the globe at the equator. Earhart’s last generally accepted radio message, received at Howland by the US Coast Guard cutter Itasca waiting offshore, indicated that she believed she was somewhere along a line bearing 157° – 337° , generally referred to as a “line of position” (LOP), running through the island’s charted location. Earhart said they were flying “on line north and south.” After their loss a vigorous search failed to find them, and in the decades since a number of hypotheses have been advanced for what happened to them. Among the best known hypotheses is a set of overlapping propositions that they were captured somewhere in the Micronesian islands then under Japanese administration, and incarcerated on Saipan (or in one account Tinian) where in most accounts they died or were executed and were then buried. 1 In this paper we attempt a systematic description, analysis and critique of the eight stories that in various configurations constitute the “Earhart-in-the-Marianas” hypothesis. Figure 1: Main Locations Referred To (Source: Google Earth)The Authors In the interest of full disclosure, we acknowledge that we are active participants in the work of The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR), which for the last 24 years has been collecting and analyzing evidence related to what we call the Nikumaroro Hypothesis – that Earhart and Noonan landed and died on Nikumaroro in the Phoenix Group, Kiribati."

On May 20–21, 1932, Earhart became the first woman — and the second person after Charles Lindbergh — to fly nonstop and solo across the Atlantic Ocean. Flying a red Lockheed Vega 5B, she left Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, Canada, and landed about 15 hours later near Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The feat made Earhart an instant worldwide sensation and proved she was a courageous and able pilot. Then, on August 24–25, she made the first solo, nonstop flight by a woman across the United States, from Los Angeles to Newark, New Jersey, establishing a women's record of 19 hours and 5 minutes and setting a women's distance record of 3,938 kilometers (2,447 miles). Born in Atchison, Kansas, on July 24, 1897, Amelia Earhart displayed an independent style from childhood, including keeping a scrapbook on accomplished women, taking an auto repair course, and attending college (but never graduating). She attended her first flying exhibition in 1918 while serving as a Red Cross nurse's aide in Toronto, Canada. She took her first flight in California in December 1920, with veteran flyer Frank Hawks, and declared, \"\"As soon as I left the ground, I knew I myself had to fly.\"\" Her first instructor was Anita \"\"Neta\"\" Snook who gave her lessons in a Curtiss Jenny.

Given new developments, such as an intriguing photograph featured in \"\" Amelia Earhart: The Lost Evidence,\"\" a HISTORY investigative special that will air on Sunday, July 9th, it's a good time to look at Earhart's last flight, the factors that may have contributed to what went wrong and the current prevailing theories about her disappearance. Pursuing a new record On May 21, 1937, Amelia Earhart took off from Oakland, California, and headed east. It was the start of her second attempt to fly around the world at the equator; an earlier try in March had ended just a few days into the trip when her Lockheed Electra L-10E crashed during takeoff in Honolulu. Despite that incident, Earhart remained determined to be the first pilot, man or woman, to circle the globe at the equator. Success would not only bolster her reputation, it would rescue her family's finances: flight preparations, including the acquisition and subsequent repairs of a new plane, meant she had \"\"mortgaged the future. \"\" The accident in Hawaii and resulting delay did alter some of Earhart's original plans. Instead of flying west, from California to Hawaii then over the Pacific, she would now travel in the opposite direction. This would help her avoid bad weather, but it would also put the most difficult leg — flying to Howland Island, a tiny, 2-mile-long dot in the Pacific Ocean — at the end of a fatiguing journey.

The war had its antecedent in Napoleon's French invasion of Spain in 1808; it extended from the Grito de Dolores by Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla on September 16, 1810, to the entrance of the Army of the Three Guarantees led by Agustín de Iturbide to Mexico City on September 27, 1821. September 16 is celebrated as Mexican Independence Day. The movement for independence was inspired by the Age of Enlightenment and the American and French Revolutions."

There is a simple reason for this. The Texas Revolution was a revolution of Mexican citizens, who revolted against the take over of the Mexican government by a dictator. The reason it has the date 1824, was that this was the date of the Mexican constitution that had been caste aside by Santa Anna. Antonio López de Santa Anna Texas was not the only part of Mexico to revolt against Santa Ann... just the only part that successfully revolted against him. Most of the settlers in Texas -- particularly in East Texas -- were Anglos who were allowed to settle in Texas so long as they converted to Catholicism, and learned Spanish. Anglo settlers were brought in to Texas to do the jobs that most Mexicans would not do... such as fight Indians, East Texas mosquitoes, and roaches. However, there were also many of Mexican ancestry.

The Caribbean region, the most culturally diverse of the three, consists of more than seven thousand islands that stretch from the Bahamas to Barbados. The four largest islands of the Caribbean make up the Greater Antilles, which include Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola, and Puerto Rico. Hispaniola is split between Haiti in the west and the Dominican Republic in the east. The smaller islands, extending all the way to South America, make up the Lesser Antilles. The island that is farthest south is Trinidad, just off the coast of Venezuela. The Bahamas, the closest islands to the US mainland, are located in the Atlantic Ocean but are associated with the Caribbean region. The Caribbean region is surrounded by bodies of salt water: the Caribbean Sea in the center, the Gulf of Mexico to the west, and the North Atlantic to the east. Central America refers to the seven states south of Mexico: Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. Panama borders the South American country of Colombia."

"text": "\"SUMMARY. The Civil War began on April 12, 1861, when South Carolina troops fired on the federal Fort Sumter in Charleston. That momentous event, however, was but one important milestone in the conflict over slavery in America. It is probably safe to say that the struggle began in 1619 when the first slaves were offloaded from a Spanish ship in the Jamestown, Virginia colony. The fate of those early slaves remains obscure, but we do know that within 50 years, permanent lifetime slavery for African-Americans brought to America was established. Protests against slavery began in the late 1600s when the Quaker church condemned slavery, yet the practice continued through the American Revolution. After 1776, as many of the states considered the meaning of Jefferson's words that “all men are created equal,” however, the elimination of slavery began in the North. Slavery was also prohibited in territories belonging to the new nation under the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. After 1800 the cotton economy in the South gave new life to the institution of slavery as slave labor became ever more valuable. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 up held the balance between slave states and free states while prohibiting slavery north of the 36°30' parallel."

For a century since that time, there had been no major war in Europe. Countries had organized themselves in a complex system of alliances. After Napoleon's defeat, the United Kingdom, France, Prussia, Russia, and Austria met in Vienna. These nations decided that if power in Europe was balanced, then no nation would become so powerful as to pose a threat to the others. The most important of these were the German Confederation. In 1871, after defeating France and Prussia, several small German nations combined into the German Empire. This upset the traditional balance of power. German Chancellor Otto Von Bismarck began to construct a web of alliances to protect German dominance. Germany and the United Kingdom were on good terms, as Germany had not built a navy to go up against British sea power."

"text": "Spanish Assistance During the American Revolution: A Convergence of Interests Phil Dove University of North Florida Popular American perceptions of their War of Independence generally focus on images of the rebellious colonies fighting for political liberty and representation against a tyrannical and oppressive European monarchy. The historiography of the period has focused on the ideological and social origins and impacts of the War. [ 1] Indeed, one of the most significant implications of the independence of Great Britain’s North American colonies has been the change in the ideological foundations of the political structure, in the United States and elsewhere, and in the social implications of these changes. Much less discussion and focus has been on the American Revolutionary War in the context of the international situation, and how it was inextricably linked to the inter-play of the European power structure. The timing of the war, in the context of the contemporary international situation, played a significant role in its course and eventual outcome. This was, in part, because of the critical assistance that the rebelling colonists received from major European monarchies. Most obvious is the direct involvement of French naval and land forces at the battle of Yorktown. Spain also played an important role in the United States War of Independence. Because its military never fought directly with the American Continental armed forces and its assistance was primarily covert, Spanish contributions are less often mentioned. However, Spanish material and economic assistance at critical junctures was significant in affecting the outcome."

The Treaty of Paris in 1783 was highly favorable to the United States which now could expand westward to the Mississippi River. Historian Samuel Flagg Bemis was a leading expert on diplomatic history. According to Jerold Combs: Bemis's The Diplomacy of the American Revolution, published originally in 1935, is still the standard work on the subject.

These conflicts started in 1809 with short-lived governing juntas established in Chuquisaca and Quito in opposing the government of the Supreme Central Junta of Seville. In 1810, numerous new juntas appeared across the Spanish domains in the Americas when the Central Junta fell to the French invasion. Although various regions of Spanish America objected to many crown policies, \"\"there was little interest in outright independence; indeed there was widespread support for the Spanish Central Junta formed to lead the resistance against the French.\"\" [ 6] While some Spanish Americans believed that independence was necessary, most who initially supported the creation of the new governments saw them as a means to preserve the region's autonomy from the French. Over the course of the next decade, the political instability in Spain and the absolutist restoration under Ferdinand VII convinced many Spanish Americans of the need to formally establish independence from the mother country."

"text": "\"New Political Ideas and Revolutions In 1750 only England and the Netherlands had constitutional monarchies, governments that limited the powers of the king or ruler. All the other kingdoms of Europe, as well as the Muslim Empires and China, practiced absolutism. Absolutist rulers benefited from the tendency for governments to centralize between 1450 and 1750 because it extended the power they had over their subjects. Most of the rulers reinforced their powers by claiming special authority for the supernatural, whether it be the mandate of heaven as practiced in China , or divine right as European kings declared. Between 1750 and 1914, absolute rulers almost everywhere lost power, and the rule of law became a much more important political principle. One of the most important political concepts to arise from the era was the \"\"nation-state,\"\" a union often characterized by a common language, shared historical experiences and institutions, and similar cultural traditions, including religion at both the elite and popular levels. As a result, political loyalties were no longer so determined by one's attitudes toward a particular king or noble but by a more abstract attachment to a \"\"nation. \"\" FORCES FOR POLITICAL CHANGEAs the Industrial Revolution began in England , the economic changes were accompanied by demands for political changes that spread to many other areas of the world by the end of the 19th century. Two important forces behind the change were: The influence of the Enlightenment - The 1700s are sometimes referred to as the \"\"Age of Enlightenment,\"\" because philosophical and political ideas were begun to seriously question the assumptions of absolute governments. The Enlightenment began in Europe, and was a part of the changes associated with the Renaissance, the Scientific Revolution, and the Protestant Reformation, all taking place between 1450 and 1750."

"text": "\"Dec 8, 2009The Zimmerman Telegram The Conspiracy behind the Conspiracy [SOURCE]: Wikipedia Arthur Zimmermann Anyone who researches Arthur Zimmermann as the cause of America \"\"entering\"\" WW1 should also realize that Zimmermann was also the cause of Russia \"\"exiting\"\" WW1. And strangely enough, Russia was exiting the war against Zimmermann's Germany at the exact same time America was entering the war against Zimmernmann's Germany. Any serious student of history would want to understand such a strange relationship of conflicting interests in the same man. For the part about America \"\"entering\"\" the World War, America would declare war on Germany just three days after German Foreign Secretary Arther Zimmermann admitted to sending a telegram to Mexico promising an alliance against America should America declare war on Germany. The fact that Zimmermann openly and freely admitted to the deed, when he could have just said it was Woodrow Wilson's \"\"war conspiracy theory\"\" talking, raises serious questions about the German leader's loyalty to Germany. And a German official mysteriously committing such a bizarre treasonous act against his own country should have given everyone in America pause to rethink what we were getting ourselves into. Perhaps this part of history was not as black and white -- good guy vs bad guy -- as we were led to believe. On reflection these many years later, this site will present the hypothesis that Arthur Zimmermann was in reality a double agent working against the best interests of Germany and in fact, working against all Christians. A Few Facts about History History tells us that the American public was dead set against becoming involved in Europe's bloody wars. A little known history to many was the fact that most Jews were very pro-German (anti-Czar actually) during much of WW1."

"text": "\"How The Big Bang Theory Ruined Indiana Jones For Everyone123942The writers of The Big Bang Theory have struggled with Amy in the past: her dynamic with Sheldon is good, though a little varied, since she seamlessly moves from asexual Sheldon clone to sex-obsessed in the space of a few episodes, but she effectively becomes the Sheldon of the girls' group when the boys aren't around (and even of the boys' group when Sheldon is absent.) Her slight struggle for an identity has been played on rather brilliantly in the past, but there has never been enough friction in her relationship with Sheldon, despite the obvious capacity for the two to clash over intellect and stubbornness (as they did in Amy's first season, leading to a comical break-up.) The latest episode of the show might finally have given Amy her greatest episode, but it will undoubtedly come at a cost, thanks to a potentially catastrophic, and utterly logical reading of Raiders Of The Lost Ark. In the episode, Amy finally sees Sheldon's favourite film - Raiders - and expresses her enjoyment of the film in a typically idiosyncratic exchange: \"\"It was good. I enjoyed it, but when you told me I was going to be losing my virginity, I didn't think you meant showing me 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' for the first time.\"\" She then confesses her appreciation of the film, aside from the \"\"glaring story problem\"\" that \"\"Indiana Jones plays no role in the outcome of the story. If he weren't in the film, it would turn out exactly the same... If he weren't in the movie, the Nazis would still have found the Arks, taken it to the island, opened it up, and all died, just like they did.\"\" Sheldon naturally rejects the analysis, but then seeks revenge by attempting to spoil anything that Amy loves, including Garfield (\"\"Your precious Garfield has no reason to hate Mondays. He's a cat, he doesn't have a job\"\") and Pride & Prejudice (which he proclaims a \"\"flawless masterpiece.\"\") This isn't the first time the Big Bang Theory crew have referenced Raiders, as Season 4 featured an unfortunately aborted attempt to see the extended cut of the film featuring 21 seconds of never-before-seen footage, only to be thwarted by a dastardly Will Wheaton play. But that episode was far more affectionate in its portrayal of the film, even if Sheldon's hysterical devotion to seeing it does now look in retrospect like the perfect foundation for the revelation that his analytical brain somewhat typically doesn't extend to his favourite movies."

[ 5] For his portrayal, Parsons has won four Primetime Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, a TCA Award, and two Critics' Choice Television Awards. The character's childhood is the focus of Young Sheldon; the series' first season is set in 1989 when 9-year-old prodigy Sheldon has skipped ahead five grades, to start high school alongside his older brother. Sheldon is a senior theoretical physicist at Caltech and for the first ten seasons of The Big Bang Theory, shares an apartment with his colleague and best friend, Leonard Hofstadter ( Johnny Galecki ). In season 10, Sheldon moves across the hall with his fiancée Amy, in the former apartment of Leonard's wife Penny. [ 6] He is a former child prodigy with genius level IQ, but displays an almost total lack of social skills, a tenuous understanding of humor, and difficulty recognizing irony and sarcasm in other people, although he himself often employs them. He exhibits highly idiosyncratic behavior and a general lack of humility or empathy."

The first three blockbusters, \"\"Raiders of the Lost Ark,\"\" \"\" Temple of Doom\"\" and \"\"The Last Crusade,\"\" span North and South America, Africa and Asia. While little information about the upcoming film has been confirmed, the trailer and early reports for \"\"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull\"\" indicate that the globe-trotting historian will once again bring his whip into jungles, ancient temples and maybe even a secret government compound. For those who simply want to follow Doctor Jones’s trail, it’s a matter of booking flights or, in some cases, a tour (Expedia, for example, is offering Indiana Jones Travel Experiences ). But recreating the spirit of his travels is much more difficult. The movies, inspired by the cheap and fast movie serials of the '20s and '30s, were rarely shot on location. In fact, much of the films were shot in Elstree Studio, a cavernous filmmaking facility in England. “George Lucas wanted to do something like these old movie serials, but modernize it and do it better, with higher production values,” says Jonathon Rinzler, author of \"\"The Complete Making of Indiana Jones.\"\" “ At the same time, he didn’t want $10 million on a shot you could do for $10,000.”Still, the Indiana Jones crew has collected a lot of flyer miles over the years. For the first film, \"\"Raiders of the Lost Ark,\"\" Hawaii stood in for Peru in the opening scene where Jones nabs an Incan statuette from a booby-trapped temple."

Penny's lack of advanced education, but outgoing personality and common sense drastically contrast with the personalities of the primary male characters in the series, even though she is considered part of their group. She is the love interest of Leonard, with whom she maintains a brief romantic relationship during the third season, which is later resumed in the fifth season and culminates in an engagement at the end of the seventh season and a wedding at the start of season 9.

"text": "Contents [ show]Summary of TV Show The Big Bang Theory is an American sitcom created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, both of whom serve as executive producers on the show, along with Lee Aronsohn and Steve Molaro, who are two of the head writers. It premiered on CBS on September 24, 2007. Set in Pasadena, California, the show is centered on five characters: two roommate geniuses who work at the California Institute of Technology, experimental physicist Leonard Hofstadter and theoretical physicist Sheldon Cooper (Played by Jim Parsons); their neighbor across the hall Penny, an attractive blonde waitress and aspiring actress; and Leonard and Sheldon's equally geeky and socially awkward co-workers and friends Howard Wolowitz, an aerospace engineer and a non-Ph D from JPL, and Rajesh Koothrappali, a particle astrophysicist postdoc also working at Caltech. The geekiness and intellect of the four guys is contrasted for comic effect with Penny's social skills and common sense. Three other supporting characters have also been promoted to main cast status for a few episodes: Leslie Winkle, a Caltech colleague of Leonard, Sheldon, and Raj; Bernadette, a microbiology graduate student who works with Penny part time as a waitress and has dated and recently has become engaged to Howard; and Amy Farrah Fowler, a neurobiologist who was hooked up with Sheldon via an online dating service (courtesy of Howard and Raj, who were later horrified when Amy turned out to be essentially a female version of Sheldon). The show is produced by Warner Bros. Television and Chuck Lorre Productions. In August 2009, the sitcom won the best comedy series TCA award and Jim Parsons won the award for individual achievement in comedy. In 2010, the show won the People's Choice Award for Favorite Comedy, while Parsons won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series. On January 16, 2011, Parsons was awarded a Golden Globe by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for Best Performance by an Actor In A Television Series – Comedy Or Musical, an award that was presented by co-star Kaley Cuoco. When the third season premiered on September 21, 2009, it ranked as CBS's highest-rated show of that evening in the adults 18–49 demographic (4.6/10), along with a then series-high 12.83 million viewers."

There is archaeological evidence of rice farming along the Yang-tse River by about 6000 BC. People cooked rice by boiling them in water, the way you do today. They ate rice with fish and shellfish, like other people in prehistory. Or they made rice into wine. People have been drinking rice wine in China since prehistory. In the north, people ate millet But rice doesn’t grow in northern China, which is much drier and colder. People in northern China grew millet instead, starting about 8000 BC, and they gathered wild sorghum. By 5000 BC, many people in northern China ate mainly millet. They ate it boiled into a kind of porridge."

A: Quick Answer The ancient Chinese traded luxury goods, such silk, china, spices, fabrics, animals and exotic fruits, along the Silk Road. As the name indicates, silk was the primary good exported along the Silk Road, but camels from Central Asia were also prized because of their ability to endure the dry and harsh conditions along the path. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Did the Chinese Trade on the Silk Road? What Did People Wear in Ancient India? Who Were the Peasants in Ancient China? Full Answer The Han Dynasty, which lasted from 206 BC to 220 AD, significantly expanded and promoted the silk trade, though it had existed prior to their reign. However, commerce along the Silk Road reached its peak under the Yuan Dynasty, with the Mongols controlling the trade route and allowing Chinese merchants safe passage. The Silk Road was over 4,000 miles long and consists of multiple routes of varying safety and length. Few merchants traveled the full length of the Silk Road, instead trading along the way at various cities and trade posts."

"text": "\"Science and Technology in Ancient China The history of science and technology in China is both long and rich with many contributions to science and technology. In antiquity, independently of Greek philosophers and other civilizations, ancient Chinese philosophers made significant advances in science, technology, mathematics, and astronomy. The first recorded observations of comets, solar eclipses, and supernovae were made in China. Traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and herbal medicine were also practiced. Among the earliest inventions were the abacus, the \"\"shadow clock,\"\" and the first flying machines such as kites and Kongming lanterns. The four Great Inventions of ancient China: the compass, gunpowder, papermaking, and printing, were among the most important technological advances, only known in Europe by the end of the Middle Ages. The Tang Dynasty (AD 618 - 906) in particular, was a time of great innovation. A good deal of exchange occurred between Western and Chinese discoveries up to the Qing Dynasty. The Jesuit China missions of the 16th and 17th centuries introduced Western science and astronomy, then undergoing its own revolution, to China, and knowledge of Chinese technology was brought to Europe. Much of the early Western work in the history of science in China was done by Joseph Needham."

Also, why China still celebrates Chinese New Year despite having adopted Western calendar?china japan calendar festivalshare improve this questionedited Feb 18 at 9:48Semaphore ♦62.1k 10 236 290asked Feb 28 '15 at 9:08user1153168 1 1 4add a comment4 Answers active oldest votesup vote14down voteaccepted The short answer is because the Japanese government does not designate the old lunisolar new year as a public holiday. Officially, China does in fact celebrate New Year's Day (元旦) on the Western (Gregorian) 1 January. In contrast, the traditional lunar new year is a public holiday named Spring Festival (春节). Since the latter is a longer holiday, combined with ancient traditions, it predominates in people's minds as the real new year's day. This is not, by the way, limited to China; Vietnam, Taiwan and Korea celebrates the event in a similar fashion."

A tiny, insect-eating animal with slender limbs, a long tail and weighing in at no more than 30 grams, has become the earliest known primate in the fossil record. Archicebus achilles lived on a humid, tropical lake shore 55m years ago in what is now China and is the ancestor of all modern tarsiers, monkeys, apes and humans. Sign up for Lab Notes - the Guardian's weekly science update Read more Scientists found the fossil, whose name translates as \"\"ancient monkey\"\", in the Hubei province of China about a decade ago but it hasn't received detailed analysis until now. About 7cm long, Archicebus lived in the trees and its small, pointed teeth are evidence that its diet consisted of insects. The fossil's large eye sockets indicate a creature with good vision and, according to scientists, it probably hunted during daytime. Xijun Ni of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who led the study of the fossil, described the animal as having a very long tail, slender limbs, a round face and feet capable of grasping. \"\" Maybe it would also have had colours and it would have preyed on insects,\"\" he said. A full description of the fossil is published in the latest edition of Nature. The analysis shows that the fossil had a mixture of features found in modern-day tarsiers, an ancient group of primates that is now restricted to the islands of South East Asia, and others found in anthropoids, the lineage through which monkeys, apes and humans later evolved."

Because of their high nutrition value, presence of β-carotene, dietary fiber, antioxidants, minerals, flexibility for processing in many kinds of ways and the ability to remain edible even after months of reliable storing in both ordinary or refrigerated places, carrot instantly became embraced wherever it appeared after it was carried out from its home in Iran and Afghanistan. During its journey across centuries and continents, countless botanists managed to improve the composition, look, flavor and size of ancient carrots and produce the modern orange-colored carrot that appeared first in 17th century Netherlands. Home of carrots and its numerous cousins can be tracked to dry and hot lands of Iran and Afghanistan. Earliest evidence of its use there was dated to 3000 BC. From there, carrot seeds were picked, carried and sold via caravans to neighboring Arabian, African and Asian lands, who all accepted carrots immediately and started crossbreeding and creating new types of this famous root. Even in those ancient times, many colors of carrots were present and used – black, white, red and purple. Interestingly, orange colors that we use today were not present. The most telling sign of how popular carrots were in those ancient times come from Ancient Egypt, where numerous carrots were placed in the tombs of dead Pharaohs and the drawings of the carrot harvest and processing can be found in numerous hieroglyph paintings. The most popular color of carrots that was cultivated in Egypt was purple, and it was used not only for eating but also for medicine."

"text": "\"Music1988Disco sensation Andy Gibb dies at the age of 30Share this:facebook twitter google+Print Cite With his knee-buckling good looks and his brothers' songwriting talents backing him up, 19-year-old Andy Gibb staged an unprecedented display of youthful pop mastery in the 12 months following his American debut in the spring of 1977. And his star may have risen even higher were it not for the prodigious cocaine habit that derailed his career and contributed to his premature death. With his heart greatly weakened from years of cocaine abuse, Andy Gibb succumbed to an inflammatory heart virus on this day in 1988. He was only 30 years old. When the New York Times announced his death, the headline read: \"\"Andy Gibb, 30, Singer in 70's, Dies in Britain.\"\" To suggest that the name \"\"Andy Gibb\"\" would require a modifier like \"\"Singer in the 70's\"\" would have been patently absurd just 10 years earlier. In the summer of 1978, Andy Gibb was barely 20 years old, and his third single, \"\"Shadow Dancing,\"\" was the #1 song on the Billboard pop charts. Four months earlier, his second release, \"\" (Love Is) Thicker Than Water\"\" had reached the same pinnacle, and six months before that, Gibb had topped the charts with his debut record, \"\"I Just Want To Be Your Everything.\"\" His string of three #1 hits with his first three releases is a record that still stands today, and at the time he achieved it, it seemed to herald the arrival of a major new star. But the rest of the Andy Gibb story is not so sunny: What his drug and alcohol abuse in the late 1970s didn't do to Andy's musical career, changing fashions in the early 1980s did."

They were born on the on the Isle of Man to English parents, lived in Manchester, England and moved to Brisbane, Australia during their childhood years, where they began their musical careers. Their worldwide success came when they returned to England and signed with producer Robert Stigwood. The multiple Grammy Award-winning group was successful for all of its forty years of recording music, but it had two distinct periods of exceptional success: as a harmonic \"\"soft rock\"\" act in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and as the foremost stars of the disco music era in the late 1970s. They were best rated band in the world in 1978. No matter the style, the Bee Gees sang tight three-part harmonies that were instantly recognizable; as brothers, their voices blended perfectly, in the same way that The Beach Boys' did. Barry sang lead on many songs, and an R&B falsetto introduced in the disco years; Robin provided the clear vibrato lead that was a hallmark of their pre-disco music; Maurice sang high and low harmonies throughout their career. The three brothers co-wrote most of their hits, and they said that they felt like they became 'one person' when they were writing. The group's name was retired after Maurice died in January 2003.

That world changed, but Gibb, a guileless boy, never did. “ Andy was too sensitive, too delicate,” says Freddie Gershon, an author and former president of RSO, Gibb’s record label. “ Superstars usually have a tough hide from having doors slammed in their face and hustling. Andy never built up those layers because he never had to. Andy grew older, but he didn’t grow up. He froze in time at about age 17.” So when the news came that Andy Gibb was dead at 30, it saddened but somehow did not surprise. It seemed the last echo of a long-forgotten naïveté, of a vanished sybaritic innocence."

' You can tell by the way I use my walk, I'm a woman's man, no time to talk The three Gibb brothers were very close as children and spent most of their time together. Barry Gibb, born 1946, and his twin brothers Maurice and Robin, who were born in 1949, went on to become one of the most popular bands of the 1970s. All three siblings were born on the Isle of Man but moved to their father Hugh's home town - Chorlton-cum-Hardy in Manchester - to attend school. They attended Oswald Road Primary School where they began to sing in harmony in the early 1950s. It is believed that, as with other children their age, they had to lip sync to a record at their local theatre but the record broke. The boys had to sing live and received such a positive response that they decided to pursue a music career. In 1958, the family moved to Australia, along with their youngest brother Andy and, once there, they began performing regularly and were soon performing on radio with two friends, Bill Goode and Bill Gates. The group had a new name for themselves, The BGs – made up from the common initials of Barry Gibb, Bill Goode, Bill Gates. A few years later, the name evolved into The Bee Gees, which came to mean the Brothers Gibb."

He is a wooden toy dachshund who speaks with a graveled Southern accent. The character's name and basic appearance are modeled on a much older pull-toy dog, manufactured by James Industries (the Slinky company). When Toy Story was released theatrically in late 1995, the original toy had been out of production for at least five years. Thus, while toys of Woody, Buzz, and even a special edition Mr. Potato Head had been rushed to the market, company CEO Betty James had \"\"mold problems\"\" reworking the toy, and it was some time later when Slinky Dog toys (now bearing the likeness of the Toy Story version) were shipped to stores.

According to Woody, the only reason Slinky wasn't hauled off to Goodwill, much less is actually played with by Andy, was because of Woody."

Gibb became deeply depressed last year after his brother Robin lost his battle with cancer. The made Gibb the last Bee Gee alive (his brother Maurice died in 2003 and his youngest brother Andy passed in 1988). Gibb says that he was never really that close to his brothers, and laments that they drifted apart in their later years. Bee Gees singer Barry Gibb is haunted by the fact he didn’t get along with his brothers and bandmates Maurice and Robin when they were alive. “You see, it wasn’t just the loss of my brothers, it was the fact we didn’t really get on. And so I’ve lost all of my brothers without being friends with them,” he said in an interview with the Daily Mail. “When Maurice passed, Robin and I just didn’t feel like the Bee Gees anymore, because the Bee Gees were the three of us. So while Robin went around saying, ‘I’ll always be a Bee Gee’, he didn’t really want that: he wanted to be Robin Gibb, solo artist. … During the last five years, Robin and I could not connect in any way."

Barry Gibb continues to remain an important, relevant figure in the music industry due to his willingness to adapt his music, his style and his image into whatever musical styling is at the fore. What makes the story of Barry Gibb so unique is that he has had a successful musical career of over forty years, continually restyling both the image and the music of the Bee Gees in order to remain relevant to the contemporary era. Barry has gone from being the front man of the soft rock/pop styling of the Bee Gees in the 1960s, to bringing the disco scene to the fore in the 70s, becoming a crooner in the 80s and reinventing his career yet again in the 1990s, as the Bee Gees enjoyed yet another reinvigoration, as their new albums and hit \"\"One Night Only\"\" tour proved that the music of the Bee Gees was timeless. Lasting over forty years, the Bee Gees are one of the longest running musical acts of all-time, and Barry's longevity can be attributed in part to the timelessness of his songs about unrequited love, soul-mates, people finding courage in times of dismay and above all, celebrating the short time we have on this earth. Barry's story begins on the 1st of September 1946, where he was born the second of five children to parents Barbara and Hugh Gibb. In the early 1960s Barry, and his twin brothers, Maurice and Robin, formed pop group The Bee Gees, named in tribute to two people who helped launch their career, racetrack promoter Bill Goode and a DJ named Bill Gates. It was later changed to an acronym for the Brothers Gibb. Barry and his family emigrated to Australia shortly after the birth of youngest sibling Andy, and the Gibbs performed anywhere and everywhere they could, in order to raise some pocket money. After securing a spot performing on local television shows, they were eventually signed for a record label in 1963."

It is a Georgian Mansion with a stone base and a plastered upper storey, high on the hillside, with a fantastic panorama over the coast.

It is decorated with silk wallpaper printed with palms and birds, ornamented with chandeliers and furnished with mostly European antiques. There's a bar downstairs and a restaurant. Rose Hall is most famous for the story of its mistress Annie Palmer, who came here in 1820, and the fanciful legends of underground tunnels, bloodstains and hauntings. A renowned beauty, Annie Palmer was widely feared as a black magician, and she is also supposed to have dispatched three husbands (by poison, by stabbing and then pouring boiling oil into his ears, and by strangling) and innumerable lovers, including slaves, whom she simply killed when she was bored of them."

What if your nurses could save 82 hours each week 1 responding to call lights and deliver better clinical outcomes for patients? Hourly Rounding SM is a new best practice that reduces patient falls and skin breakdowns while improving patient satisfaction. The rounding protocol also drives more nursing care to the bedside, so nurses can be proactive instead of reactive with respect to workflow. As reported in the September 2006 American Journal of Nursing, 2 Studer Group's research subsidiary, the Alliance for Health Care Research (AHCR), completed a rigorous study that analyzed the impact of Hourly Rounding SM on patients in 27 nursing units (telemetry, surgical and medical-surgical) from 14 hospitals nationwide using a specific protocol. Why Do Call Lights Ring? When baseline data was collected, researchers learned that the top reasons patients used the call light were: bathroom/bedpan assistance (15%); IV /pump alarm (15%); pain medication (10%); needed a nurse or CNA (9%); and position assistance (4%), as well as accidental hits of the call light (13%) and miscellaneous reasons (13%). By rounding hourly on patients, the units reduced requests:bathroom by 40%pain by 35%positioning by 29%IV/pump alarms by 40%miscellaneous by 39%How They Did It: The 8 Rounding Behaviors For six weeks, nurses and CNAs were instructed to round hourly on patients during the day and every two hours at night using key words that addressed the eight rounding behaviors: Use opening key words to reduce anxiety.

"text": "\"Kathy Bates Highest Rated: 93% Midnight in Paris (2011)Lowest Rated: 0% You May Not Kiss the Bride (2012)Birthday: Jun 28, 1948Birthplace: Memphis, Tennessee, USAActress Kathy Bates has been involved in the arts in one way or another since graduating from Southern Methodist University. Among the Memphis native's earliest jobs were a stint as a singing waitress in a Catskill resort and a sojourn as a gift shop cashier in New York's Museum of Modern Art. Bates was type-cast in character roles early on, which assured her a lot more work than the thousands of faceless ingenues in the business. Her film debut occurred with 1971's Taking Off, and she made her off-Broadway debut five years later in Vanities. For a long while, Bates made her name on the stage, only to see her roles go to other actresses in the plays' subsequent film adaptations. In 1983, she was nominated for a Tony award for her stage appearance as a garrulous would-be suicide in 'Night, Mother, a role played on screen by Sissy Spacek. She also appeared as Lenny Mc Grath in Beth Henley's Pulitzer Prize-winning play Crimes of the Heart, a role played on screen by Diane Keaton. And in 1987, playwright Terrence Mc Nally wrote a part specifically tailored to Bates' talents: the much-abused waitress Frankie in Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune, a role which won her an Obie award, and, following a familiar pattern, was played on screen by Michelle Pfeiffer. Bates finally got to star in a movie herself in 1990. And what a starring role it was: in Misery, she portrayed the psychotic \"\"Number One Fan\"\" of romance writer Paul Sheldon (James Caan), a searing performance which earned the actress an Academy Award and a Golden Globe."

Story highlights Tomlinson says he 'got emotional right away'He and Jason Taylor were elected in their first year of eligibility Houston (CNN) The Chargers may no longer be in San Diego, but longtime fans of the Bolts have reason to celebrate, as iconic Chargers running back La Dainian Tomlinson was among the group elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday. The class of 2017 is Tomlinson, Morten Andersen, Terrell Davis, Jason Taylor, Kurt Warner, Jerry Jones and Kenny Easley. Patriots and Falcons set for Super Bowl showdown The class was announced during the taping of NFL Honors, a two-hour prime-time awards special held at the Wortham Theater Center in Houston. The group will be enshrined in Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio, in August. Of this year's class, Tomlinson was seen as the likely lock. The 2006 NFL MVP is fifth in career rushing yards, second in career rushing touchdowns and third in total touchdowns. Tomlinson -- who is originally from Rosebud, Texas, a little more than 150 miles away from Houston -- said he \"\"got emotional right away. \"\"\"\" I just thought about the journey,\"\" a red-eyed Tomlinson said. \"\" I thought about being a small-town kid from up the road, to now going to Canton, Ohio. \"\""

"text": "Sandy, the Canine Star of Broadway’s Little Orphan Annie The story of how the first dog who played Sandy in Annie is as dramatic and heartwarming as the story of how little orphan Annie found a home with Daddy Warbucks in the musical version of her story. The story begins with the 1976 staging of Annie that took place at the well-known regional theater, the Goodspeed Opera House in Haddam Connecticut. The executive producer, Michael Price, knew that the production could not be done well without a real dog but there was no money in the budget for an animal and trainer. Price called 19-year-old intern Bill Berloni in and offered him some bit parts in the summer shows, which would get Berloni his all-important Actors’ Equity card, but there was a catch. Berloni needed to find and train a dog to be Sandy with no extra money spent. Berloni’s sole experience with pet training had involved living in a family that owned a dog. That did not dampen his enthusiasm for what he had been offered. He immediately phoned family and friends about the promise that he would qualify for his Equity card that summer. Only later did he realize the daunting challenge in front of him. Looking for Sandy The producer had specified that the dog should be of medium size and sandy in color."

Seemingly sentenced to a life of isolation, Helen made a dramatic breakthrough at the age of six, when she learned to communicate with the help of her teacher, Annie Sullivan. Unlike many disabled people of her era, Helen refused to live in seclusion; instead, she achieved fame as a writer, humanitarian, and social activist. Helen Keller was the first deaf-blind individual to earn a college degree. She was born on June 27, 1880, and died June 1, 1968.

"text": "Spray Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®by Beth Filed Under: Before & After, Benches and Chairs, Blog, Uncategorized21 Comments These wicker chairs came to me in pretty rough shape. Their white paint was flaking off all over so they needed repainting pretty severely. My client wanted to put them on the front porch of her new house. She told me that they were her grandmothers and had always been on her porch. I had just finished this buffet for her and was happy to be asked to do another project for her. We decided on Chateau Grey for the chairs. Her house is painted in Sherwin Williams Basket Beige and Softer Tan so I thought this would look great with her current color scheme. First Prince Charming (AKA the hubby) used a fine brush to knock all of the loose paint off. Then he blew the rest of the old chipping paint off with the air compressor. After all the prep was done it was time to break out the paint sprayer."

I know it wasn’t actually through Pinterest, but I did look back through a board and find a “Pin now, read later” pin that linked to an Annie Sloan tutorial. So it was just meant to be. Annie Sloan, from England, created this “Chalk Paint” about twenty years ago specifically for painting furniture and creating an aged European look. But don’t confuse it with chalkboard paint – I’ll link you to her website for more history & information here. This paint has only been available in the United States for a few years & is sold through private retailers known as a Stockist…and lo & behold, there is not one place to buy it in South Dakota. The closest store is near Minneapolis or in Iowa. I knew I wanted needed this paint, I had been drooling & literally dreaming over it for weeks. So on our way to the Twin Cities for our weekend getaway, we swung through Savage, MN and talked to the owner, Chris of Denim Rose, and finally bought some paint."

"text": "\"WHY A TREATY...recounted by Ross Baker, Historian. Many books written as to why New Zealand needed a treaty are so complicated and in many cases biased that few take the time to read all these and extract the facts. If we are to understand the Treaty, then first we must understand why it was instigated and by whom. For ten years prior to the Treaty, the Missionaries had tried to encourage the Maoris to form their own independent government and state, but the chiefs, as always, could not agree between themselves and in the end it became evident that New Zealand must become a British Colony under British Sovereignty if the Maoris were to survive. ( From 1814, Samuel Marsden, one of the first missionaries in New Zealand, gave the Maoris an introduction to the British Government by inviting them to Australia. Some even remained to obtain an education. The Maoris knew of the British Government in these early times. Some worked on British and foreign ships as crew. Ngapuhi chief Hongi made a trip to England in 1820 to meet the King. On his return to New Zealand he stopped off in Australia and traded all the gifts the King had given him on 300 muskets and then initiated a ten year period of warfare and cannibalism on his fellow countrymen, slaughtering thousands for no apparent reason)."

The first European explorer to sight New Zealand was Dutch navigator Abel Tasman on 13 December 1642. [ 1] The Dutch were also the first non-natives to explore and chart New Zealand's coastline. Captain James Cook, who reached New Zealand in October 1769 on the first of his three voyages, [2] was the first European explorer to circumnavigate and map New Zealand. From the late 18th century, the country was regularly visited by explorers and other sailors, missionaries, traders and adventurers. In 1840 the Treaty of Waitangi was signed between the British Crown and various Māori chiefs, bringing New Zealand into the British Empire and giving Māori the same rights as British subjects. There was extensive British settlement throughout the rest of the century and into the early part of the next century. War and the imposition of a European economic and legal system led to most of New Zealand's land passing from Māori to Pākehā (European) ownership, and most Māori subsequently became impoverished. [ 3]From the 1890s the New Zealand Parliament enacted a number of progressive initiatives, including women's suffrage and old age pensions. The country remained an enthusiastic member of the British Empire, and 110,000 men fought in World War I (see New Zealand Expeditionary Force )."

The treaty was signed by representatives acting on behalf of the British Crown and, initially, more than 40 Māori chiefs. Over the course of the next seven months, copies of the treaty were toured around the country to give other chiefs the opportunity to sign. [ 2] The signing had the effect of securing British sovereignty over the islands of New Zealand, which was officially proclaimed on 21 May 1840. [ 3]Previous celebrations [ edit]Prior to 1934, most celebrations of New Zealand's founding as a colony were held on 29 January, the date on which William Hobson arrived in the Bay of Islands to issue the proclamation of his appointment, which had been prepared by colonial office officials in England. Hobson had no draft treaty. From the British perspective the proclamation was the key legal document, \"\"what the treaty said was less important\"\". ["

During the last few years these grievances have begun to come to the notice of the wider public. If we are to understand these claims then it is important to know a little of the history of the Treaty. During the 1830's the small number of Europeans living in Aotearoa began to grow. This created some friction between them and the Maori, especially in the area of land sales, many of which were highly questionable. It became clear to many Maori chiefs that some regulation of the Pakeha was needed. As well, many Maori tribes, including Ngai Tahu of the South Island, had extensive trade both within the country and overseas. The Treaty of Waitangi was intended by the Maori to require the British Crown to fulfil the function of governorship-to preserve law and order between Maori and Pakeha, to protect Maori and Pakeha, to protect Maori trade, and to guarantee Maori control of land and other resources with which they wished to keep. These intentions were made clear in the Maori text of the Treaty. The Treaty of Waitangi was signed by 539 chiefs in the first half of 1840. ("

It is a document of central importance to the history and political constitution of the state of New Zealand, and has been highly significant in framing the political relations between New Zealand's government and the Māori population. The Treaty was written at a time when British colonists were pressuring the Crown to establish a colony in New Zealand, and when some Māori leaders had petitioned the British for protection against French forces. It was drafted with the intention of establishing a British Governor of New Zealand, recognising Māori ownership of their lands, forests and other possessions, and giving Māori the rights of British subjects. It was intended to ensure that when the declaration of British sovereignty over New Zealand was made by Lieutenant Governor William Hobson in May 1840, the Māori people would not feel that their rights had been ignored. Once it had been written and translated, it was first signed by Northern Māori leaders at Waitangi, and subsequently copies of the Treaty were taken around New Zealand and over the following months many other chiefs signed.

It was the forerunner of the Treaty of Waitangi and has a flag to symbolise tribal rights to trade as independent nations. Historical Context | The Declaration | Letter (James Busby) | Extract (Lord Glenelg)Historical Context: The Treaty of Waitangi must be seen in the context of events that happened over a number of years before 1840. One of the major events was the selection of a National Flag in 1834, and following this the Declaration of Independence which was signed on October 28, 1835, at Waitangi. The events leading up to this Declaration of Independence included:the concerns of both the Church and Missionary Society, Busby and Māori about the lawlessness and behaviour of many Europeans particularly in the Bay of Islands. The letter sent to King William IV from the Māori chiefs is worth reading on this subjectthe growing interest of other nations apart from Britain, e.g. France and United States, in New Zealand, and amongst these Baron Charles de Thierry, who claimed he had bought 40,000 acres of land and attempted to establish himself as the Sovereign Chief of New Zealandthe discussions , trips abroad , debates and plans within Māori society since around 1816 to establish a form of Māori government within Aotearoa, one which would unite the tribes in some form of common systemthe successful participation by Māori in trading, shipping and other \"\"European\"\" areas of life. Back to the Top The Declaration of Independence: A Declaration of The Independence of New Zealand We, the hereditary chiefs and heads of the tribes of the Northern parts of New Zealand, being assembled at Waitangi, in the Bay of Islands, on the 28th day of October, 1835, declare the Independence of our country, which is hereby constituted and declared to be an Independent State, under the designation of the United Tribes of New Zealand. All sovereign power and authority within the territories of the United Tribes of New Zealand is hereby declared to reside entirely and exclusively in the hereditary chiefs and heads of tribes in their collective capacity, who also declare that they will not permit any legislative authority separate from themselves in their collective capacity to exist, nor any function of government to be exercised within the said territories, unless by persons appointed by them, and acting under the authority of laws regularly enacted by them in Congress assembled. The hereditary chiefs and heads of tribes agree to meet in Congress at Waitangi in the autumn of each year, for the purpose of framing laws for the dispensation of justice, the preservation of peace and good order, and the regulation of trade; and they cordially invite the Southern tribes to lay aside their private animosities and to consult the safety and welfare of our common country, by joining the Confederation of the United Tribes. They also agree to send a copy of this Declaration to his Majesty the King of England, to thank him for his acknowledgment of their flag; and in return for the friendship and protection they have shown, and are prepared to show, to such of his subjects as have settled in their country, or resorted to its shores for the purposes of trade, they entreat that he will continue to be the parent of their infant State, and that he will become its Protector from all attempts upon its independence."

The Treaty of Waitangi is an agreement made in 1840 between representatives of the British Crown and more than 500 Māori chiefs. It resulted in the declaration of British sovereignty over New Zealand by Lieutenant Governor William Hobson in May 1840. Most chiefs signed a Māori-language version of the treaty. The English- and Māori-language versions held different meanings, and Māori and Europeans therefore had different expectations of the treaty’s terms. Ever since, resolution of these differences has presented New Zealand with challenges. New Zealand before the treaty In the 1830s an independent, Māori-controlled New Zealand was a frontier outpost of the British penal colony of New South Wales. As New Zealand’s trade and shipping expanded, relations between Māori and Europeans depended on a good working accord, but violence sometimes flared up. British law did not extend to controlling unruly British subjects in New Zealand, so some European residents asked the British government to intervene to maintain order."

It was selected on 20 March 1834 by 25 chiefs from the far north who, with their followers, had gathered at Waitangi in the Bay of Islands. A number of missionaries, settlers and the commanders of ten British and three American ships were also present. The official British Resident, James Busby, spoke to those gathered and then asked each chief to come forward in turn and select a flag. The son of one of the chiefs recorded the votes. The preferred design, a flag already used by the Church Missionary Society, received 12 out of the 25 votes, with the other two designs receiving 10 and 3 votes, respectively. Busby declared the chosen flag the national flag of New Zealand and had it hoisted on a central flagpole, accompanied by a 21-gun salute from HMS Alligator. The influence of the English missionaries is clear in the use of the St George cross. Read more about the United Tribes flag The Union Jack The Union Jack Following the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi on 6 February 1840, the Union Jack replaced the Flag of the United Tribes of New Zealand as the official flag of New Zealand.

They remained relatively isolated from external contact until 1769. In that year, English navigator and explorer Captain James Cook (1728–79) initiated a permanent European presence in New Zealand. As a result, Maori culture would be dramatically changed in less than a century. In 1840, some 500 Maori chiefs signed the so-called Treaty of Waitangi with the British government. The treaty promised the Maoris that they would keep their lands and property and have equal treatment under the law as British subjects. However, the British later seized Maori lands and made the people move to reservations. As a result of war and disease, the Maori population fell drastically by 1896. Since World War II (1939–45), the government's policies have been more favorable to the Maoris. In recent years, the government of New Zealand has acknowledged its responsibility to the Maoris after a series of protests and court rulings."

Only when trading with other countries started (especially with Australia) did it become clear that the country couldn’t do without a flag of its own: in 1830, a New Zealand trading ship was held in the harbour of Sydney, simply because it was sailing without a flag. Australia followed British navigation laws, which ruled that a ship must sail under an official flag to represent it. But New Zealand didn’t have a flag, and as it was not a British colony at the time, it couldn’t sail under a British flag either. So this incident was the prelude to the first official New Zealand flag, which became known as the …United Tribes Flag of New Zealand In 1834 25 Maori chiefs gathered in Waitangi to choose the first official New Zealand flag.

"text": "\"Treaty of Waitangi and the Maori Ethnic Movement Jennifer Lee '99 (English 27, Spring '97)In February of 1840, 512 Maori chiefs and the British Crown, represented by William Hobson, signed a treaty and formally ushered in the era of the Pakeha into New Zealand history. Even today this Treaty of Waitangi, as it is known, remains the foundation of Maori-Pakeha relations. It is also the root of Maori-Pakeha tensions. The story begins with the fact that the document was, of course, drafted in two languages ( two languages, two cultures, two peoples. For some Pakeha, it is merely a matter of semantics, but for the Maori, the wording is illustrative of all the injustices that have been dealt to their people at the hands of these European settlers. Either way, the Treaty of Waitangi is amazingly symbolic of the distance between the Maori and the Pakeha as there was in the beginning, and as there is now. This paper, then, is an attempt to understand the development ,the achievements, and the controversies of Maori ethnic mobilization as they pertain to the Treaty of Waitangi and the disparity, real or imagined, that exists between the Maori and the Pakeha. The British version of the Treaty granted the Maori the rights of citizenship and obliged the Crown to protect the Maori \"\"in the exercise of their government over their lands, villages, and treasures.\"\" These parts are made clear in both languages. In the first Article of the Treaty, however, it was written that the Maori were, in exchange for these services, to:cede to Her Majesty the Queen of England absolutely and without reservation all the rights and powers of Sovereignty which the said Confederation or Individual Chiefs respectively exercise or possess, or may be supposed to exercise or posses over their respective Territories as the sole Sovereigns thereof."

"text": "Story Summary All images & media in this story Kororāreka Baron de Thierry's coat of arms Signatories to the declaration: Te Hāpuku Signing the Treaty of Waitangi Te Wananga newspaper In the early 1800s, before New Zealand was a British colony, many European traders, whalers and settlers arrived here. Because of concerns about the behaviour of some Europeans, and the lack of laws to govern them, the British government appointed James Busby to be an official ‘British Resident’. Busby arrived in Waitangi, in the Bay of Islands, in 1833. United Tribes’ flag Ships needed to fly a flag of a country, but New Zealand didn’t have a national flag and a New Zealand-owned ship had been seized in Sydney for not flying a flag. In March 1834 Busby called together chiefs in Northland to decide on a flag. They were presented with three options, and the one they chose became known as the United Tribes’ flag. Busby hoped this might encourage different tribes to work together. Declaration of Independence In the 1830s the British were concerned that France or the United States might try to claim New Zealand. Because of this, in 1835 Busby, with help from missionaries Henry Williams and William Colenso, drafted a statement for chiefs to sign in which they declared themselves rulers of New Zealand. The version that was signed was in Māori, but an English translation was also made."

"text": "\"Art & Literature Folklore Mythology Q: What Did Aristotle Believe About Human Nature? A: Quick Answer In Aristotle's ethical work, \"\"Nicomachean Ethics,\"\" he describes human nature as having rational and irrational psyches as well as a natural drive for creating society, gaining knowledge, finding happiness and feeling connected with God. More broadly, Aristotle believed that every species, including humans, had their own nature, and it was their natural aim to fulfill that nature. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Did Aristotle Think About the Solar System? How Does Aristotle Define Happiness? What Were Aristotle's Philosophical Beliefs? Credit: Carole Raddato CC-BY-2.0Full Answer Aristotle believed that humans should pursue the fulfillment of their true natures, directing their efforts to the most beneficial end. Aristotle asserted that philosophy serves this purpose by allowing the rational mind to guide the desires of the irrational psyche towards fulfillment. Aristotle referred to this achievement as eudaimonia, or flourishing. In this way, Aristotle saw philosophy as a kind of bridge between the rational mind and the irrational mind, two psyches that humans dually possess."

Hart, see The Concept of Law. Philosophers of law ask \"\"what is law, and what should it be? \"\" Jurisprudence or legal theory is the theoretical study of law, principally by philosophers but, from the twentieth century, also by social scientists. Scholars of jurisprudence, also known as jurists or legal theorists, hope to obtain a deeper understanding of legal reasoning, legal systems, legal institutions, and the role of law in society. Modern jurisprudence began in the 18th century and was focused on the first principles of the natural law, civil law, and the law of nations. [ 1] General jurisprudence can be divided into categories both by the type of question scholars seek to answer and by the theories of jurisprudence, or schools of thought, regarding how those questions are best answered. Contemporary philosophy of law, which deals with general jurisprudence, addresses problems internal to law and legal systems, and problems of law as a particular social institution as law relates to the larger political and social situation in which it exists. [ 2]This article distinguishes three distinct branches of thought in general jurisprudence."

It introduces readers to many of the major theories of rhetoric advanced by some of the western world's greatest minds. Through encountering the rhetorical tradition, students are encouraged to develop their own rhetorical abilities and are equipped to understand the symbolic practices that mark our social and private lives. In this second edition I have attempted to refine the presentation of a unifying and practical overview of the historical sweep of rhetorical theory that animated the first edition. My goals are to help students to understand what rhetoric is. to appreciate the important social functions it performs, and to recognize how theories of rhetoric help us to improve our understanding and practice of this essential art. In The History and Theory of Rhetoric I present the story of rhetoric in a manner that is historically accurate and intellectually stimulating."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Reasoning)navigation search This article is about the human faculty of reason and rationality. For other uses, see Reason (disambiguation). Reason is the capacity for consciously making sense of things, establishing and verifying facts, applying logic, and changing or justifying practices, institutions, and beliefs based on new or existing information. [ 1] It is closely associated with such characteristically human activities as philosophy, science, language, mathematics, and art and is normally considered to be a distinguishing ability possessed by humans. [ 2] Reason, or an aspect of it, is sometimes referred to as rationality. Reasoning is associated with thinking, cognition, and intellect. The philosophical field of logic studies ways in which humans reason formally through argument. [ 3] Reasoning may be subdivided into forms of logical reasoning (forms associated with the strict sense): deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning, abductive reasoning; and other modes of reasoning considered more informal, such as intuitive reasoning and verbal reasoning. Along these lines, a distinction is often drawn between logical, discursive reasoning (reason proper), and intuitive reasoning, [4] in which the reasoning process through intuition—however valid—may tend toward the personal and the subjectively opaque. In some social and political settings logical and intuitive modes of reasoning may clash, while in other contexts intuition and formal reason are seen as complementary rather than adversarial."

Conclusion Reading 1: Pico on Freedom and Dignity Reading 2: Galileo on Science and Religion Study Questions A. INTRODUCTIONFor 1,000 years, philosophy in Europe had been dominated by medieval Christian theologians, and since about the twelfth century by the Scholastic tradition in particular. Beginning around 1400 in Italy, though, Europe experienced a dramatic intellectual movement called the Renaissance, which emphasized the resurgence of science and culture through classical influences. The term “renaissance” literally means “rebirth” and was first used in the 19 th century to refer to this extraordinary period of time. It set a new direction for art, architecture, music, literature, scientific discovery, and world exploration. Philosophy was also a beneficiary to this period of renewal. Historians mark the close of the Renaissance at around 1600 when it blossomed into a succession of other movements. In philosophy, the stage that follows on the heels of the Renaissance is called the modern period, a term that philosophers of the time used to describe themselves in contrast to ancient times. In this chapter we will explore some of the major themes and thinkers in Renaissance and early modern philosophy. B. HUMANISMOne of the most distinctive intellectual movements within the Renaissance was humanism —which was originally called “humanities”, that is, the study of humanity."

"text": "\"Lecture 8Greek Thought: Socrates, Plato and Aristotle The political and social upheaval caused by the Persian Wars as well as continued strife between Athens and Sparta (see Lecture 7 ) had at least one unintended consequence . In the 5 th century, a flood of new ideas poured into Athens. In general, these new ideas came as a result of an influx of Ionian thinkers into the Attic peninsula. Athens had become the intellectual and artistic center of the Greek world. Furthermore, by the mid-5 th century, it had become more common for advanced thinkers to reject traditional explanations of the world of nature. As a result of the experience of a century of war, religious beliefs declined. Gods and goddesses were no longer held in the same regard as they had been a century earlier. I suppose we could generalize and say that the Persian and Peloponnesian Wars taught that the actions of men and women determine their own destiny, and not \"\"Moira.\"\" Meanwhile, more traditional notions of right and wrong were called into question, and all of this was expressed in Hellenic tragedy and comedy. The Greeks used their creative energies to explain experience by recourse to history, tragedy, comedy, art and architecture."

He or she knows more than just a little about \"\"everything\"\" instead of knowing \"\"everything\"\" about a small part of the entire spectrum of modern knowledge. The term is essentially ironic, for it is universally believed that no one really can be a Renaissance man in the true meaning of the term, since knowledge has become so complex that no human mind is capable of grasping all, or even a large part, of it. Was there ever a Renaissance man, even during the Renaissance, in this sense of the term? The answer is no. The reason may seem surprising. Knowledge is no more complex today that it was in the fifteenth century. That is, it was just as complex then as it is now. It was no more possible for any human being to know everything about everything then that it is now."

Any opinions, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of UK Essays. Keywords: mind body philosophy, body mind relationship, montaigne philosophy analysis The relationship between the mind and body has been a preoccupation among philosophers since the Greek antiquity, with famous writers such as 5th Century philosopher Plato, and his student Aristotle. Ideas concerning the mind and body originate as far back as Plato's and Aristotle's time, whereby they questioned whether or not intelligence is connected with the body. In the 16th Century, Michel de Montaigne treated the same question again, and it was then continued in the 17th Century but by René Descartes and Blaise Pascal. Their point of view is diverse and the conclusion that they reach upon at times is somewhat in a way satisfying to each other or plain rejects. Before embarking on the essay, a brief explanation on their works will be examined. Michel de Montaigne was one of the most influential yet sceptical writers of the 16th Century, especially with his Essais being a compilation of various short topics describing man and human nature. His essays had direct influence on other classical thinkers such as René Descartes and Blaise Pascal."

In 335, Aristotle founded his own school, the Lyceum, in Athens, where he spent most of the rest of his life studying, teaching and writing."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Aristotle first used the term ethics to name a field of study developed by his predecessors Socrates and Plato. Philosophical ethics is the attempt to offer a rational response to the question of how humans should best live. Aristotle regarded ethics and politics as two related but separate fields of study, since ethics examines the good of the individual, while politics examines the good of the city-state. Aristotle's writings have been read more or less continuously since ancient times, [1] and his ethical treatises in particular continue to influence philosophers working today. Aristotle emphasized the importance of developing excellence ( virtue) of character (Greek ethikē aretē ), as the way to achieve what is finally more important, excellent conduct (Greek energeia ). As Aristotle argues in Book II of the Nicomachean Ethics, the man who possesses character excellence does the right thing, at the right time, and in the right way. Bravery, and the correct regulation of one's bodily appetites, are examples of character excellence or virtue. So acting bravely and acting temperately are examples of excellent activities. The highest aims are living well and eudaimonia a Greek word often translated as well-being, happiness or \"\"human flourishing\"\". [ 2] Like many ethicists, Aristotle regards excellent activity as pleasurable for the man of virtue."

"text": "\"Macbeth as a Tragedy According to Aristotle's Definition While the genre of some works of literature can be debated, Macbeth writtenby William Shakespeare seems to fit into a perfect mold. Aristotle's definition of a tragedy, combining seven elements that he believes make the genre of a work a tragedy, is that mold. Displaying all seven aspects, Macbeth fits the definition precisely. Key elements in the play substantiate the fact that Macbeth is a serious story, the first elements of Aristotle's definition. From the first lines of the play, the mood is set featuring witches whom speak of witchcraft, potions and apparitions. Not only do the three witches aid in making this a serious story but also, they appealed to Elizabethans whom at the time believed in such supernatural phenomena. War for centuries has represented killing and feuding, thus, the war taking place between Scotland and Norway provided a dark component. The Thane of Cawdor's rapidly approaching execution due to his deceiving the king also plays a role in this grim work. Murder throughout all of Macbeth is an essential aspect when dealing with the seriousness of the play. From the beginning, Lady Macbeth urges Macbeth to do anything to overthrow King Duncan, whom is the king of Scotland, the role Macbeth desperately yearns for."

Perception, knowledge, causation, and mind would be examples of this. But the concept of substance is essentially a philosophical term of art. Its uses in ordinary language tend to derive, often in a rather distorted way, from the philosophical senses. ( Such expressions as ‘a person of substance’ or ‘a substantial reason’ would be cases of this. ‘ Illegal substances’ is nearer to one of the philosophical uses, but not the main one.) There is an ordinary concept in play when philosophers discuss ‘substance’, and this, as we shall see, is the concept of object, or thing when this is contrasted with properties or events. But such ‘individual substances’ are never termed ‘substances’ outside philosophy. There could be said to be two rather different ways of characterizing the philosophical concept of substance. The first is the more generic."

Two observations supported the idea that Earth was the center of the Universe. First, from the view on Earth, the Sun appears to revolve around Earth once per day. While the Moon and the planets have their own motions, they also appear to revolve around Earth about once per day. The stars appeared to be on a celestial sphere, rotating once each day along an axis through the north and south geographic poles of Earth.

"text": "\"Pythagoreanism First published Wed Mar 29, 2006; substantive revision Fri Oct 31, 2014Pythagoreanism can be defined in a number of ways. ( 1) Pythagoreanism is the philosophy of the ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras (ca. 570 – ca. 490 BCE), which prescribed a highly structured way of life and espoused the doctrine of metempsychosis (transmigration of the soul after death into a new body, human or animal). ( 2) Pythagoreanism is the philosophy of a group of philosophers active in the fifth and the first half of the fourth century BCE, whom Aristotle refers to as “the so-called Pythagoreans” and to whom Plato also refers. Aristotle's expression, “so-called Pythagoreans,” suggests both that at his time this group of thinkers was commonly called Pythagoreans and, at the same time, calls into question the actual connection between these thinkers and Pythagoras himself. Aristotle ascribes no specific names to these Pythagoreans, but the philosophy which he assigns to them is very similar to what is found in the fragments of Philolaus of Croton (ca. 470-ca. 390 BCE). Thus, Philolaus and his successor Eurytus are likely to have been the most prominent of these Pythagoreans."

Then, in the 16th century a \"\"new\"\" (but remember Aristarchus) idea was proposed by the Polish astronomer Nicolai Copernicus (1473-1543). The Heliocentric System In a book called On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies (that was published as Copernicus lay on his deathbed), Copernicus proposed that the Sun, not the Earth, was the center of the Solar System. Such a model is called a heliocentric system. The ordering of the planets known to Copernicus in this new system is illustrated in the following figure, which we recognize as the modern ordering of those planets. The Copernican Universe In this new ordering the Earth is just another planet (the third outward from the Sun), and the Moon is in orbit around the Earth, not the Sun. The stars are distant objects that do not revolve around the Sun. Instead, the Earth is assumed to rotate once in 24 hours, causing the stars to appear to revolve around the Earth in the opposite direction. Retrograde Motion and Varying Brightness of the Planets The Copernican system by banishing the idea that the Earth was the center of the Solar System, immediately led to a simple explanation of both the varying brightness of the planets and retrogrademotion: The planets in such a system naturally vary in brightness because they are not always the same distance from the Earth. The retrograde motion could be explained in terms of geometry and a faster motion for planets with smaller orbits, as illustrated in the following animation."

Our knowledge of Greek astronomy before the 4th century BCE is very incomplete. We have just a few surviving writings, and most of what we know are references and comments form Aristotle, mostly opinions he is about to criticize. What is clear is that the earth was believed to be a sphere, and that there was an increasing effort to understand nature in purely natural term, without recourse to supernatural explanations. The Greeks' neighbours, Egyptians and Babylonians, had highly developed astronomies, but the forces driving them were different. Egyptian administration relied on well-established calendars to anticipate the flooding of the Nile; rituals were required to be able to tell the time during the night, and the orientation of monuments in the cardinal directions was also important."

Laws address the fact that certain things happen, as well as how they happen. A theory, on the other hand, attempts to explain why things happen. By definition, an idea that is dubbed a theory has yet to be fully proven, and such is the case with the atomic theory of matter. After all, the atom cannot be seen, even with electron microscopes — yet its behavior can be studied in terms of its effects. Atomic theory explains a great deal about the universe, including the relationship between chemical elements, and therefore (as with Darwin's theory concerning biological evolution), it is generally accepted as fact. The particulars of this theory, including the means by which it evolved over the centuries, are as dramatic as any detective story.

Religious teaching permeated all thought and activity. An example is the political theory of Divine Right. Religious teachings dominated all aspects of life, from marriage and divorce even to eating habits. However, as Europeans, particularly the upper classes, became more economically secure and better educated, their view of the world became decidedly more secular if not completely scientific. This change was primarily the result of the Scientific Revolution, a time when modern science based on the union of experimental observation and sophisticated mathematics emerged. Western civilization is the only civilization to develop modern science. One historian has gone so far as to state that the Scientific Revolution was \"\"the real origin of the modern world and the modern mentality.\"\" Unquestionably, its scientific achievements more than any other element have set Western society apart.

INTRODUCTIONFor 1,000 years, philosophy in Europe had been dominated by medieval Christian theologians, and since about the twelfth century by the Scholastic tradition in particular. Beginning around 1400 in Italy, though, Europe experienced a dramatic intellectual movement called the Renaissance, which emphasized the resurgence of science and culture through classical influences. The term “renaissance” literally means “rebirth” and was first used in the 19 th century to refer to this extraordinary period of time. It set a new direction for art, architecture, music, literature, scientific discovery, and world exploration. Philosophy was also a beneficiary to this period of renewal. Historians mark the close of the Renaissance at around 1600 when it blossomed into a succession of other movements. In philosophy, the stage that follows on the heels of the Renaissance is called the modern period, a term that philosophers of the time used to describe themselves in contrast to ancient times. In this chapter we will explore some of the major themes and thinkers in Renaissance and early modern philosophy. B. HUMANISMOne of the most distinctive intellectual movements within the Renaissance was humanism —which was originally called “humanities”, that is, the study of humanity."

He was one of the Seven Sages of Greece. Many, most notably Aristotle, regarded him as the first philosopher in the Greek tradition, [1] [2] and he is otherwise historically recognized as the first individual in Western civilization known to have entertained and engaged in scientific philosophy. [ 3] [4]Thales is recognized for breaking from the use of mythology to explain the world and the universe, and instead explaining natural objects and phenomena by theories and hypotheses, i.e. science. Almost all the other Pre-Socratic philosophers followed him in explaining nature as deriving from a unity of everything based on the existence of a single ultimate substance, instead of using mythological explanations. Aristotle reported Thales' hypothesis that the originating principle of nature and the nature of matter was a single material substance: water. In mathematics, Thales used geometry to calculate the heights of pyramids and the distance of ships from the shore. He is the first known individual to use deductive reasoning applied to geometry, by deriving four corollaries to Thales' theorem. He is the first known individual to whom a mathematical discovery has been attributed. ["

"text": "\"Aristotle's Contribution to Science, Education, and Physics Aristotle thought that Nature could best be understood by observation and reason – and that all knowledge should be open to examination and subject to reason. Science Education has shown a renewed interest in Aristotle’s works. ( 1) Today, theories in science are often based on abstract and mathematical models of the world. Students sometimes use the theories and equations without understanding how they were developed, their limitations, or even what problems they address. The development of an idea from Aristotle to the present would make physics more interesting and understandable. ( 2) Aristotle’s works are reconstructions from fragmentary notes. He had the most rudimentary of scientific equipment, his measurements were not quantitative; and he considered only things that were observable with the eye. Ignoring these limitations has caused some to distort the significance of his work, sometimes to the point of considering Aristotle an impediment to the advancement of science. However, we should not project the framework of contemporary science on Aristotle’s work – but we should read his works and examine his Natural Philosophy in the context of his times. ( 3)Scientific Method: In ancient times, events in Nature had been explained as the actions of the gods."

"text": "Next: Aristotle in the 16th Up: From the Middle Ages Previous: The Middle Ages. The Copernican Revolution The 16th century finally saw what came to be a watershed in the development of Cosmology. In 1543 Nicolas Copernicus published his treatise De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium (The Revolution of Celestial Spheres) where a new view of the world is presented: the heliocentric model. It is hard to underestimate the importance of this work: it challenged the age long views of the way the universe worked and the preponderance of the Earth and, by extension, of human beings. The realization that we, our planet, and indeed our solar system (and even our galaxy) are quite common in the heavens and reproduced by myriads of planetary systems provided a sobering (though unsettling) view of the universe. All the reassurances of the cosmology of the Middle Ages were gone, and a new view of the world, less secure and comfortable, came into being. Despite these ``problems'' and the many critics the model attracted, the system was soon accepted by the best minds of the time such as Galileo Copenicus' model, a rediscovery of the one proposed by Aristarchus centuries before (see Sect. 2.4 ), explained the observed motions of the planets (eg. the peculiar motions of Mars; see Fig. 2.13) more simply than Ptolemy's by assuming a central sun around which all planets rotated, with the slower planets having orbits farther from the sun."

Article written: 11 Jan , 2016 Updated: 4 Feb , 2016 by Matt Williams During the many thousand years that human beings have been looking up at the stars, our concept of what the Universe looks like has changed dramatically. At one time, the magi and sages of the world believed that the Universe consisted of a flat Earth (or a square one, a zigarrut, etc.) surrounded by the Sun, the Moon, and the stars. Over time, ancient astronomers became aware that some stars did not move like the rest, and began to understand that these too were planets. In time, we also began to understand that the Earth was indeed round, and came up with rationalized explanations for the behavior of other celestial bodies. And by classical antiquity, scientists had formulated ideas on how the motion of the planets occurred, and how all the heavenly orbs fit together. This gave rise to the Geocentric model of the universe, a now-defunct model that explained how the Sun, Moon, and firmament circled around our planet. The notion that the Earth was the center of the Universe is certainly an understandable one. To ancient people, looking up at the skies, it seemed evident that the Sun, the Moon and the stars rotated around the Earth once a day."

Athena is often depicted with Nike, the god of victory, for (no way) victory. Pink Dumbledore · 1 decade ago0 1 Comment Athena has several symbols. She often wears a helmet on her head and carries a spear. On her vest or on her shield is the symbol of a gorgon's head. She wears an aegis, which is either a vest or shield, which is fringed with snakes. She was the patroness of Athens and the olive tree was special to her. The owl is more than a symbol, because sometimes this is how she appears. The significance of Athena's owl culturally/symbolically in ancient times is that it is not Athena's owl but Athena = owl. Most of the images of an owl in ancient Greece simply represent Athena."

This would equate with the yogic teachings that she was born from the crown chakra of sahasrara, and was endowed with perfect wisdom and insight from birth. She did not need to reconcile dualities, therefore was a virgin goddess. Symbology of the myth In Greek mythology we usually find Athena portrayed as a warrior, in her role as defender of heroes and of the city of Athens. However, there is another image of the goddess where she appears wild and awesome, wreathed in snakes. Even when she is in her warrior role, Athena still carries the image of the snakes on her aegis (shield) with the severed head of Medusa. This image harks back to an early time before patriarchy. It refers to the Minoan snake goddesses. Snakes are not thought of here as symbols of sin and evil, as in Christian mythology, but as symbols of divine wisdom."

On average, they range in size from 17 to 22 inches, have a 39 - 43 inch wingspan, and weigh 1.5 to 2 pounds. Unlike most other large owls in this area, they have brown eyes (as opposed to yellow). These owls have been found to live up to ten years in the wild and 23 years in captivity. They are possibly the most common owl in this area, and they are often out when it’s light. So, if you’ve seen a large owl during the day, it was probably a barred owl. Distribution and habitat Breeding habitat is dense woods across Canada, the eastern United States and South to Central America. Since the 1960s, barred owls have been expanding their range westward from the eastern United States because man-made changes have created new suitable habitat in the West. Recent studies show urban neighborhoods can be ideal habitat for barred owls. Using transmitters, biologists found that populations increased faster in urban settings than in old growth forest."

The olive tree was a totem in ancient Greece The origin of the Olive tress in the city of Athens is explained through the intervention of the Goddess Athena. This goddess was the daughter of Zeus (supreme God of Greek mythology) and Metis who symbolised prudence and cunning. Athena was a warrior Goddess whose attributes were the spear, helmet and aegis era una divinidad guerrera cuyos attributes are the spear, helmet andaegis (Zeus' magical attribute according to some authors was a goat-skin wallet and according to others, it was the shield protected by the head of Gorgon whose eyes turned to stone anyone that looked at it). In addition Athena was Goddess of justice and wisdom and protector of arts and literature. Her sacred animal was the owl and the olive tree was one of her most recognised symbols. The reason that the olive tree symbolised the Goddess is explained through the following mythic passage: Poseidon, God of the seas and Zeus' brother, coveted earthly kingdoms and so claimed the possession of Attica, driving his trident intothe Athenian Acropolis which became a well of salt water. Later, Athena came to town and took it in a very peaceful way calling Cecrops, first K ing of Athens, as a witness."

From the second century BC onward, the Romans equated her with the Greek goddess Athena. [ 1]Following the Greek myths around Athena, she was born of Metis, who had been swallowed by Jupiter, and burst from her father's head, fully armed and clad in armor. [ 2] After impregnating the titaness Metis notably forcefully which resulted in her attempting to change shape or shapeshift to escape him, Jupiter recalled the prophecy that his own child would overthrow him as he had Saturn and in turn, Saturn had Caelus. Fearing that their child would be male, and would grow stronger than he was and rule the Heavens in his place, Jupiter swallowed Metis whole after tricking her into turning herself into a fly. The titaness gave birth to Minerva and forged weapons and armor for her child while within Jupiter's body nevertheless. It is said in some versions that Metis continued to live inside of Jupiter's mind and that she is the source of his wisdom though others say she was simply a vessel for the birth of Minerva."

She is also confused with the Roman goddess, Minerva, who shares similar atributes, but appears to be an Etruscan as opposed to Greek import. If you examine the art that surrounds Athena, both Ancient and Modern, you might have notice she always has a little friend near her. If you look closely, you will find an Owl. Now it’s very difficult to determine which came first, Athena or the Owl. Most likely the Owl became associated with Athena because of a couple of reasons. 1) The light that reflects off their eyes in the dark gave the appearance of an ‘inner light’ or Wisdom and 2) This is the most likely cause, a particular species of Owl was common ontop of the Arcopolis of Athens. Since that hilltop was dedicated to Athena, the Greeks took the fact that there were so many owls present as them being sacred to Athena. As a result the Owl and Athena have been linked and the Owl has come to represent Wisdom in many later cultures, heck right down to Owl in Winnie the Pooh. But what kind of Owl was Athena’s Owl?"

This week: QI has a hoot Nothing to do with Lee Dixon: a fledgling white-faced Scops owl Photo: Alamy By Anne Miller and John Mitchinson2:42PM BST 03 Apr 2014If there are no nightingales, one must settle for owls. Danish proverb Howl For a long time owls were grouped with falcons, but they now have their own order, Strigiformes, from strix, the Greek for “owl”, and the ultimate root of “strident”. The name denotes the owl’s sound, as does our word “owl” – which comes from the Latin ululatio, a cry of lamentation, and is cognate with our word “howl”. The owl’s cry and nocturnal habits have connected it with omens of death and ill-fortune in almost every culture. To woo Shakespeare first used the phrase “tu-whit, tu-who” in his poem “Winter” in Love’s Labour’s Lost. It’s most likely to be a pair of tawny owls, the male calling out “tu-who” and the female answering with a harsher “kee-wick”.

"text": "Symbols of Power were weapons, animals and other items that each god of ancient Greece, and later, Rome, were represented by. Whether major or minor, the gods were identified and represented by these symbols. However, the gods had established rules about each symbol, much like each god's domain. A god is not allowed to steal another god's symbol of power, however demigods are not affected by this rule (which allowed Luke to steal the Master Bolt and the Helm of Darkness ). Also Hades, Zeus, and Poseidon cannot create another Symbol of Power without the other gods agreeing to it beforehand, as a new symbol could upset the balance of power.

"text": "\"Live Science History Reference: Attila the Hun: Biography of the 'Scourge of God'By Owen Jarus, Live Science Contributor | March 27, 2014 02:19am ETMOREA bronze medal in the Louvre Museum depicts \"\"Attila, Flagelum Dei,\"\" meaning \"\"Attila, Scourge of God. \"\" Credit: Public domain. Attila was king of the Huns, a non-Christian people based on the Great Hungarian Plain in the fifth century A. D. At its height, the Hunnic Empire stretched across Central Europe. The Romans considered the Huns to be barbarians, and under Attila’s rule the Huns pillaged and destroyed many Roman cities. His date of birth is unknown but he died in A. D. 453 on his wedding night (he practiced polygamy and had multiple wives). Whether his death was natural, or whether he was murdered by his new wife, Ildico, is still a subject of debate. By the time he died, the non-Christian Attila had become known as the “scourge of god,” and his death was cheered in what was left of the Roman Empire. While his name has become synonymous with conquest and destruction, a careful look at historical records reveals a more complex picture. While he was responsible for destroying Roman cities he was, at one point, an ally of the western half of the Roman Empire, helping them fight other “barbarian” groups including the Burgundians and Goths. The Roman Empire had split in two by his lifetime, with the western half controlling little more than Italy and part of France."

"text": "Why the West? For the century since Diocletian, generally capable and energetic emperors had ruled the empire. However, the death of Theodosius the Great in 395 C. E. marked a turning point in Roman history as the Western half of the empire steadily slipped into oblivion. There were several reasons why the West fell and the East survived. First of all, the East, with its older civilizations and more established trade routes, was considerably richer than the West, so it could buy off the barbarians until it found the strength to fight them. The second factor was the barbarization of the Roman army. Depopulation and centuries of peace made it hard to get enough qualified recruits for the army. As a result, the Romans had turned more and more to enlisting Germanic tribesmen in their ranks. In the East, there were still areas where good native recruits could be found to balance out the number of barbarians. The West, having few good native recruits, relied more heavily on Germanic recruits."

Still, the failure of great minds like Edward Gibbon to win over a majority of historians to the view he espoused in his monumental work, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, suggests we should seek perhaps another path and examine the terms we're using to express the problem, especially what we mean when we speak about \"\"Rome falling.\"\" Indeed, close study calls the very question into question. \"\" Why did Rome fall?\"\" may be a line of inquiry that has no clear resolution because the question itself is fundamentally flawed.

You could literally cook a steak on those metal containers. Those dudes were up nearly two stories high for over eight hours and never complained once.

"title": "http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/25/arts/music/25attila.html\nAt the Met, a Hun Who Struggles to Conquer His Doubts",
"text": "“Attila” was the ninth of Verdi ’s 28 operas, an early work, coming right before “Macbeth.” Most opera buffs, if they know “Attila” at all, would rank it pretty far down the list. I would have agreed — that is, before Tuesday night, when Riccardo Muti, making his absurdly overdue Metropolitan Opera debut, conducted “Attila” in a Met premiere production by the noted director Pierre Audi. It may be trite to describe a performance as a revelation, but this one really was. Mr. Muti, an exemplary Verdi conductor, is especially fond of the undervalued early Verdi works. “ Attila” is a particular cause. Mr. Muti drew a refined, lithe and stunningly fresh performance from the Met Orchestra, which played as if inspired; the Met chorus, which sang with an alluring blend of richness and focus; and the impressive cast, starring the compelling Russian bass Ildar Abdrazakov in the title role. During every moment, “Attila” came across as a vibrant and engrossing music drama. With a libretto by Temistocle Solera, the opera tells of the ruthless king of the Huns and his invasion of Italy in the mid-fifth-century. “ Attila” is steeped in the bel canto heritage of Verdi’s early years."

"text": "Attila, byname Flagellum Dei (Latin: “Scourge of God”), (died 453), king of the Huns from 434 to 453 (ruling jointly with his elder brother Bleda until 445). He was one of the greatest of the barbarian rulers who assailed the Roman Empire, invading the southern Balkan provinces and Greece and then Gaul and Italy. In legend he appears under the name Etzel in the Nibelungenlied and under the name Atli in Icelandic sagas. Attacks on the Eastern Empire The empire that Attila and his elder brother Bleda inherited seems to have stretched from the Alps and the Baltic in the west to somewhere near the Caspian Sea in the east. Their first known action on becoming joint rulers was the negotiation of a peace treaty with the Eastern Roman Empire, which was concluded at the city of Margus (Požarevac). By the terms of the treaty, the Romans undertook to double the subsidies they had been paying to the Huns and in the future to pay 700 pounds (300 kg) of gold each year. From 435 to 439 the activities of Attila are unknown, but he seems to have been engaged in subduing barbarian peoples to the north or east of his dominions. The Eastern Romans do not appear to have paid the sums stipulated in the treaty of Margus, and so in 441, when their forces were occupied in the west and on the eastern frontier, Attila launched a heavy assault on the Danubian frontier of the Eastern Empire. He captured and razed a number of important cities, including Singidunum (Belgrade). The Eastern Romans managed to arrange a truce for the year 442 and recalled their forces from the West."

Extremely reliable and fuel-efficient, it features an electric starter, semi-automatic transmission (you shift with your foot but there's no clutch), 100 cc, 4-stroke engine, and front and rear drum brakes. A seat height of 760 mm means that even shorter riders can ride without difficulty. The Wave S and RS are identical to the Wave Alpha but have a slightly larger body for larger riders as well as wider tires for better handling. The Honda Wave series of semi-automatic motorbikes is ubiquitous on the roads of Vietnam. Strong, light, and extremely reliable, these vehicles are a mainstay of Vietnamese road transportation. The RSX 110 is a deluxe version, featuring a larger, air-cooled, 110cc engine and a larger under-seat storage space than previous models. By far the most popular sport-style scooter in Vietnam, the Yamaha Nouvo features a specially developed rigid, underbone frame which gives it a moped-like ride and good handling performance but also the same level of comfort as a scooter (motorcycle) . The Nouvo 3 features an automatic transmission, 115 cc, 4-stroke, single-cylinder engine, and front disc brakes (rear drum). Also, has a large storage space beneath the seat."

Joel 's music consistently demonstrates an affection for Beatlesque hooks and a flair for Tin Pan Alley and Broadway melodies. His fusion of two distinct eras made him a superstar in the late '70s and '80s, as he racked an impressive string of multi-platinum albums and hit singles. Born in the Bronx, Joel was raised in the Long Island suburb of Hicksville, where he learned to play piano as a child. As he approached his adolescence, Joel started to rebel, joining teenage street gangs and boxing as welterweight. He fought a total of 22 fights as a teenager, and during one of the fights, he broke his nose. For the early years of his adolescence, he divided his time between studying piano and fighting. Upon seeing the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, Joel decided to pursue a full-time musical career and set about finding a local Long Island band to join. Eventually, he found the Echoes, a group that specialized in British Invasion covers."

Print Cite Between 434 and 453 A. D., Hun forces led by the mighty Attila battered the Roman Empire relentlessly, including invasions of the southern Balkan provinces, Greece, Gaul and Italy. Despite his reputation in the Roman world as a brutal conqueror, Attila never actually sacked Rome or Constantinople, but his ferocious prowess has reverberated through the centuries: During World War I, when the British wanted to emphasize how savage and corrupt their enemy was, they referred to the Germans as “Huns.” Out of all the “barbarian” leaders of the late Roman era, Attila’s name is the only one most people actually remember. More than 1,500 years after his eventful life (and mysterious demise) explore eight things you might not know about Attila, King of the Huns. His upbringing was privileged. Far from the stereotype of the unwashed, uneducated barbarian, Attila was born (probably at the beginning of the fifth century A. D.) into the most powerful family north of the Danube River. His uncles, Octar and Rugila (also Ruga or Rua), jointly ruled the Hun Empire in the late 420s and early 430s. Attila and his elder brother, Bleda, received instruction in archery, sword fighting and how to ride and care for horses. They also spoke–and perhaps read–both Gothic and Latin, and learned military and diplomatic tactics; the two brothers were likely present when their uncles received Roman ambassadors."

By Owen Jarus, Live Science Contributor | May 1, 2014 11:27pm ETMORE\"\"The Huns at the Battle of Chalons\"\" from A Popular History of France From The Earliest Times, Vol. I of VI. Illustration by A. De Neuville (1836-1885). Credit: Public domain Barbarians — a word that today often refers to uncivilized people or evil people and their evil deeds — originated in ancient Greece, and it initially merely referred to people who did not speak Greek. Today, the meaning of the word is far removed from its original Greek roots. A poignant example comes from a 2012 speech given by President Barack Obama in New York City. “When a little boy is kidnapped, turned into a child soldier, forced to kill or be killed — that’s slavery. When a little girl is sold by her impoverished family — girls my daughters’ age — runs away from home, or is lured by the false promises of a better life, and then imprisoned in a brothel and tortured if she resists — that’s slavery. It is barbaric [writer’s emphasis], and it is evil, and it has no place in a civilized world,” he said."

"text": "Why Didn’t The Eastern Roman Empire Fall? Patrick Wyman8/18/17 1:52pm Filed to: history 29 31Andreas Rentz/Getty Images When the Roman Empire disintegrated over the course of the fifth century, only half of it actually fell, the western half. The eastern half of the Roman Empire would survive in one form or another for a thousand years. The Empire had always included a tremendous amount of ethnic, cultural, and linguistic diversity within its borders. Since it stretched from the Sahara to the North Sea and Britain to Arabia, that’s only to be expected. The greatest split, however, was between the Greek-speaking east and the Latin-speaking west. When the Romans began acquiring bits and pieces of the eastern Mediterranean in the second century BC, they encountered a highly developed, urban, populous, and rich series of societies stretching from Greece to Egypt. This was the Greek world, the product of both centuries of Greek colonization and the conquests of Alexander the Great. Cities like Antioch in Syria and Alexandria in Egypt were centers of culture and trade, holding hundreds of thousands of residents. Even after hundreds of years of Roman rule, the language and culture of these places remained essentially Greek."

"text": "\"The Franks Date 2001A History of the Franks. Franks. Clovis. Christianity and the Franks The Franks were a group of Germanic tribes that, about the middle of the 3rd century AD, dwelt along the middle and lower Rhine River. The Franks appeared in the Roman provinces around 253 and soon thereafter established themselves in two principal groups, the Salian and the Ripuarian. The Salian Franks inhabited the territory along the lower stretches of the Rhine, and the Ripuarian Franks lived along the middle course of the river. The Salians were conquered by the Roman emperor Julian in 358 and became allies of Rome. During the early 5th century, when the Romans retired from the Rhine, the Salians established themselves in most of the territory north of the Loire River. Under the Salian king Clovis I, founder of the Merovingian dynasty, the power and extent of the Frankish kingdom grew considerably. In 486 Clovis overthrew Syagrius, the last Roman governor in Gaul, and then successively subjugated the Alamanni, the Bourguignons, the Visigoths of Aquitania, and the Ripuarian Franks."

Link Official site Age of Charlemagne expands Total War: Attila with a new campaign setting that takes it into the Medieval era. The first big Attila expansion—The Last Roman—laid the groundwork for this. That was set a hundred years after the fall of the Western Empire, and focused on the fascinating human story of Belisarius, the overly-loyal Roman general—probably the only man who could have revived it. It featured a really interesting mobile Roman faction, The Expedition, and four less interesting rejigs of barbarian factions that had survived to that era. Age of Charlemagne takes that structure and runs forward to the start of the medieval era, with a much more limited map that barely encompasses the Mediterranean. What Age of Charlemagne does offer that The Last Roman didn’t is a better range of factions. The worst of the factions are the Lombards—German invaders who’ve displaced the Romans from the north of Italy."

"text": "\"Johann Sebastian Bach Related Links Johann Sebastian Bach (March 21, 1685–July 28, 1750) was a German composer and organist of the Baroque period, and is almost universally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time. His works, noted for their intellectual depth, technical command, and artistic beauty, have provided inspiration to nearly every musician in the European tradition, from Mozart to Schoenberg. Bach sheet music | Bach MIDI files | Bach recordings Formative Years J. S. Bach was born in Eisenach, Germany, in 1685. His father, Johann Ambrosius Bach, was the town piper in Eisenach, a post that entailed organizing all the secular music in town as well as participating in church music at the direction of the church organist, and his uncles were also all professional musicians ranging from church organists and court chamber musicians to composers, although Bach would later surpass them all in his art. In an era when sons were expected to assist in their fathers' work, we can assume J. S. Bach began copying music and playing various instruments at an early age. Bach's mother died when he was still a young boy and his father suddenly passed away when J. S. Bach was 9, at which time J. S. Bach moved in with his older brother Johann Christoph Bach, who was the organist of Ohrdruf in Germany. While in his brother's house, J. S. Bach continued copying, studying, and playing music. According to one popular legend of the young composer's curiosity, late one night, when the house was asleep, he retrieved a manuscript (which may have been a collection of works by Johann Christoph's former mentor, Johann Pachelbel) from his brother's music cabinet and began to copy it by the moonlight. This went on nightly until Johann Christoph heard the young Sebastian playing some of the distinctive tunes from his private library, at which point the elder brother demanded to know how Sebastian had come to learn them. It was at Ohrdruf that Bach began to learn about organ building."

"text": "\"Answer by Anselm Confidence votes 43An easier question might be: what isn't his contribution? For my money he was the greatest composer ever, or at least in the period of common tonality since 1600. He wrote in every style except opera, and I don't doubt that he could have done that brilliantly if he'd had the chance. His contributions to music include but are not limited to the following. 1. He established the definitive form of every Baroque genre and style in which he wrote. His four orchestral suites, concertos (especially the six Brandenburgs), sacred cantatas, two Passions (the St Matthew and the St John ), Goldberg Variations for keyboard and his sonatas and partitas for solo violin, his fugues and the jaw-dropping compendium of contrapuntal wizardry in his Musical Offering and Art of Fugue are just some examples. 2. Related to 1. above, his music is the cornerstone of the repertoire for every genre in which he wrote."

He had been suffering from a mild virus infection that had not been thought serious, and his death was attributed to a coronary attack. The London‐born conductor, who came to fame as conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra, had a career that spanned more than 70 years and, it has been estimated; more than 7,000, concerts. He made recordings for 60 years, and just last year signed a recording contract that would have kept him working until he was 100. The recordings he has conducted in the last several years have been made in England, where he has lived since 1972. If Leopold Stokowski qualified as one of the marvels of 20th‐century musicmaking, and no one knowing the sum of his accomplishments could doubt that he ddd, he was also one of the more perplexing and least explicable symphonic conductors of his time. This was not just because his age, family origins, accent and even his name were matters of public speculation at one time or another, but because his career seemed paradoxical In many respects. He had had hardly any conducting ex perience when, at 27, he took over the Cincinnati Symphony, but by the time he was 35, he was well on the way to international fame as a master orchestra builder, as a galvanizing personality on the Philadelphia Orchestra podium and as one of America's champion promoters of modern music. How he rose so meteorically and on the basis of precisely what knowledge and experience is not clear."

For many years, members of the Bach family throughout Thuringia had held positions such as organists, town instrumentalists, or Cantors, and the family name enjoyed a wide reputation for musical talent. The family at Eisenach lived in a reasonably spacious home just above the town center, with rooms for apprentice musicians, and a large grain store. ( The pleasant and informative \"\"Bach Haus\"\" Museum in Eisenach does not claim to be the original family home). Here young Johann Sebastian was taught by his father to play the violin and the harpsichord. He was also initiated into the art of organ playing by his famous uncle, Johann Christoph Bach, who was then organist at the Georgenkirche in Eisenach. Sebastian was a very willing pupil and soon became extraordinarily proficient with these instruments. When he was eight years old he went to the old Latin Grammar School, where Martin Luther had once been a pupil; he was taught reading and writing, Latin grammar, and a great deal of scripture, both in Latin and German. The boys of the school formed the choir of the St. Georgenkirche, which gave Johann Sebastian an opportunity to sing in the regular services, as well as in the nearby villages."

"text": "\"By All Music Staff · Oct. 14, 2011View Comments Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share on Tumblr Share on Google+ RSSDefined as a time period in the history of western music, the Classical era begins about 1735 and ends around 1825, overlapping a little with the surrounding periods of late Baroque and early Romantic music. What does the word \"\"Classical\"\" mean in this context? The music has little to do with the classical civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome, though a major revival of their aesthetics and architecture occurred in the 18th century, and associations were made by later writers in an attempt to portray the greatest composers as almost Olympian in stature. Also, the sense of the word \"\"Classical\"\" is narrower than today's popular meaning, which includes Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Romantic, Modern, and Contemporary categories as well. The key to understanding the early development of Classical music in its time period lies with the appearance of a particular musical style, one that originally attracted the terms Galant, Rococo, Empfindsamer Stil (\"\"sensitive style\"\"), and other descriptive words that emphasized its surface beauty, formal balance, refined expression, diatonic harmonies, and clear melodies, as opposed to the rugged, complicated, and passionate counterpoint of the Baroque. Classical era composers seem now to embody the height of elegance, but in their own day they were actually part of a movement that prized naturalness and simplicity over intellectuality and elaboration. Thanks to the mighty Viennese triumvirate of Franz Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Ludwig van Beethoven, listeners tend to think of Classical music as essentially Austrian. But its origins were actually Italian. The beginnings of true Classical style may be traced to Bologna, where composer Francesco Durante began to impart to his students an aesthetic of radical simplification. One of Durante's pupils, Giovanni Pergolesi (left) arrived at a clear-cut and then highly controversial style that stripped away practically all counterpoint in favor of thin textures and sprightly melodies."

She is notable for having taught many of the leading composers and musicians of the 20th century. She also performed occasionally as a pianist and organist. [ 1]From a musical family, she achieved early honours as a student at the Paris Conservatoire but, believing that she had no particular talent as a composer, she gave up writing music and became a teacher. In that capacity, she influenced generations of young composers, especially those from the United States and other English-speaking countries. Among her students were those who became leading composers, soloists, arrangers and conductors, including Aaron Copland, Roy Harris, Quincy Jones, John Eliot Gardiner, Elliott Carter, Dinu Lipatti, Igor Markevitch, Virgil Thomson, David Diamond, İdil Biret, Daniel Barenboim, Philip Glass and Astor Piazzolla. Boulanger taught in the US and England, working with music academies including the Juilliard School, the Yehudi Menuhin School, the Longy School, the Royal College of Music and the Royal Academy of Music, but her principal base for most of her life was her family's flat in Paris, where she taught for most of the seven decades from the start of her career until her death at the age of 92. Boulanger was the first woman to conduct many major orchestras in America and Europe, including the BBC Symphony, Boston Symphony, Hallé, New York Philharmonic and Philadelphia orchestras. She conducted several world premieres, including works by Copland and Stravinsky.

In the case of classical music, though this tendency existed, there were some pioneers and pillars who were decisive in the development of the classical style. Let’s see…Rameau. A baroque musician? Why should he be on the list? Because Rameau was also a very influential theorist. Rameau wrote in 1722 his Traité de l'harmonie réduite à ses principes naturels. This was the first book that has the word harmony on it’s title. This treatise was important because before Rameau, the elements of music theory came from different musical traditions and were explained in diverse musical context."

Thanks to AJ Kluth for inviting me to write this piece for the journal. ) As I look back over the last ten years and the peculiar journey with J. S. Bach that the time represents for me, it’s sometimes hard to believe that I’m here, now, playing the Goldberg Variations from memory in their entirety, for sometimes sizeable audiences, well enough apparently to get enthusiastic approval from the classical section of the New York Times. I’m really a jazz pianist, after all, and the Goldbergs are hard. And the crazy thing is that I never set out to do this in the first place. How did I get here? The best answer I can give, to echo an experience many musicians have reported through the years, is that Bach taught me. I grew up in Paris, France, in an American family, and started studying piano at the local conservatory when I was six. I was never asked what I wanted to play, as some of my friends in the US were—playing TV themes wasn’t on the radar. Mostly, I was made to play Bach, lots of it."

The suite is a type of instrumental dance music that emerged during the Renaissance and was further developed during the Baroque Period. It consists of several movements or short pieces in the same key and functions as dance music or dinner music during social gatherings. Dance music was very popular during the 16th and 17th century and composers were often asked to play such pieces during social functions. As a result, musicians began collecting dance pieces in the same key; these pieces became known collectively as \"\"suites.\"\" By the time of JS Bach, suites were composed of four main movements: allemande, courante, sarabande and gigue. Optional movements include: air, bourree (lively dance), gavotte (moderately fast dance), minuet, polonaise, and prelude.

"text": "\"Nathan Hale is celebrated as America's first spy. He was hung by British forces in New York City on September 22, 1776, and various memorials in the city celebrate his story. His now-famous dying speech -- \"\"\"\"I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country\"\" -- was not credited to him in 1776, but several decades later. The famous line appears to have been influenced by the line in the play Cato, a Tragedy (1712) by Joseph Addison: \"\"What a pity it is/That we can die but once to serve our country.\"\" \"\" Mr. Hancock said he had but one life, that he would lose it for his country\"\" was written as early as 1770, about John Hancock (1737-1793). Wikipedia: Nathan Hale Nathan Hale (June 6, 1755 — September 22, 1776) was a captain in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. Hale is best remembered for his \"\"\"\"I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country\"\" speech before being hanged following the Battle of Long Island. Widely considered America's first spy; he volunteered for an intelligence-gathering mission and was caught and executed. Hale has long been considered an American hero and in 1985 he was officially designated the State Hero of Connecticut."

Miller explains that everyone in Salem wanted vengeance upon others for various reasons. Because of that, witchcraft accusations flew. What were Abigail and the girls doing in the forest when Reverend Parris saw them? The girls were dancing and some of them were not wearing clothes. There was a frog in the pot and Tituba was chanting. Why is Parris so worried about the evidence of witchcraft being discovered in his own house?

"text": "biography Born in Pasadena, California, on November 5, 1905, famed western actor Joel Mc Crea began pursuing an acting career while still a child. By the time he was a teenager, Mc Crea was working as a stunt double and extra in silent films, a vocation he continued while he attended college at Pomona. After college, Mc Crea gained acting experience onstage and continued appearing in silent films, usually in bit parts. His breakthrough role came in the 1929 release The Jazz Age, a starring vehicle for Douglas Fairbanks Jr; this was followed by a meatier role in Cecil B. De Mille's Dynamite (1929). In 1930, he was put under contract by RKO Radio Pictures, and the studio cast him in a string of big-budget films. Later in his career, Mc Crea was under contract to Paramount and Universal-International. Mc Crea met fellow RKO contract player Frances Dee when they appeared in The Silver Cord (1933), and the couple married not long after filming was completed. Mc Crea and Dee had three children, including actor Jody Mc Crea, who appeared in a number of films in the 1950s and 1960s, including Bikini Beach, Muscle Beach Party, and Pajama Party. Although Joel Mc Crea is now best known for his many western pictures, early in his career he was usually cast as a leading man in comedies and dramas. In fact, he didn't star in a western until he left RKO and signed with Paramount; this studio released his first western, Wells Fargo (1937; with Frances Dee and Johnny Mack Brown ).the films of joel mccrea The Common Law (1931)With Constance Bennett in The Common Law Bird of Paradise (1932)With Dolores del Rio in Bird of Paradise."

I've written about comics for years at Forbes & Batman-On-Film. · Author has 62 answers and 733.6k answer views Batman didn't kill Joker at the end. But I would not go so far to refuse any suggestions of Joker's death. It's clear that Batman is not strangling Joker in the second panel, but it's ambiguous what follows afterward by nature of limited visibility. It's pretty surprising that Batman is even laughing like this with the Joker to begin with as if there really was something mentally wrong with Batman, and panning downward can have some darker connotations as if Batman was doing the unthinkable— killing Joker and therefore becoming a fallen hero, something that the audience would want to look away for. Considering that the title is The Killing Joke, you would expect someone to die right? Seems like a classic scoping problem to make an ambiguous and controversial ending. While I find some of the claims above reasonable, I still think it's more convincing to interpret the ending with Batman remaining in check despite his surprising laughter. Not only is the joke representing Batman and Joker's insane battle laughable on its own but the situation where the craziest villain could provide such an insightful joke about their relationship is pretty humorous as well."

"text": "\"Updated 26 September, 2003Pioneering professor, wife die in apparent double suicideby Scott Steepleton September 18, 2003Garrett James Hardin, a pioneer in the field of population's effect on Earth, died over the weekend along with his wife in an apparent double suicide. The bodies of Mr. Hardin and his wife, Jane, were found inside their Santa Barbara home Sunday. Mr. Hardin was a professor emeritus at UCSB whose groundbreaking 1968 essay \"\"The Tragedy of the Commons\"\" put forth the notion that human misery would increase greatly without the recognition that livable space on Earth is finite. He was 88 and she was 81. The couple were married Sept. 7, 1941, and last week celebrated their 62nd anniversary. Sharon Clausen, one of the couple's four children, said they were in poor health, her father being frail and suffering from a heart condition while her mother had a form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. \"\" They were both members of the Hemlock Society (End-of-Life Choices) and felt very strongly that they wanted to choose their own time to die,\"\" said Ms. Clausen. Autopsies were being conducted on the bodies, and as of Wednesday the results had not been released. Ms. Clausen said there was no doubt her parents took their own lives. \"\" They did what they wanted to do,\"\" she said."

Although he didn’t write the scripts, he had approval and stacked the production team with real lawyers to keep things interesting. The formula was consistent. Perry Mason (Raymond Burr) got a new client and the first half hour was about the crime. Paul Drake (William Hopper) was sent out to investigate but rarely found anything close to a smoking gun until the trial had begun. Perry was assisted by his able and loyal secretary, Della Street (Barbara Hale). His principle adversary was District Attorney Hamilton Burger (William Talman). Hard as Burger tried, he couldn’t beat Perry. Talman did not appear in every episode and missed the 1960-1961 season due to a problem he had with police after a Hollywood party where the partygoers were reportedly nude and stoned. Although CBS fired him, Raymond Burr fought for and got his reinstatement."

Elizabeth thinks that he went to Salem that afternoon, but Proctor says he thought better of it. Elizabeth tells him that Mary Warren is there today, and although Elizabeth tried to forbid her, Mary frightened her strength away. Mary is now an official in the court, formally accusing people of witchcraft, along with Abigail and the other girls. Elizabeth tells John to go to Ezekiel Cheever and tell him what Abigail said last week - namely that Betty's sickness had nothing to do with witchcraft. Proctor tells her that nobody will believe him, as Proctor was the only one to hear.

She was 94. Hale was surrounded by family when she died Thursday at her Los Angeles area home, said Jaqueline Stander, an agent for Hale’s son, actor William Katt (“The Greatest American Hero,” ”Carrie”).“She was gracious and kind and silly and always fun to be with,” Katt posted on his Facebook page Thursday, calling Hale a wonderful actress and a “treasure as a friend and mother. ”Stander declined to provide the cause of death. Hale appeared in “Perry Mason” on CBS from 1957 to 1966, winning an Emmy as best actress in 1959. When the show was revived in 1985 on NBC as an occasional TV movie, she again appeared in court at the side of the ever-victorious lawyer played by Raymond Burr. She continued her role after Burr died in 1993 and was replaced by Hal Holbrook for the movies that continued into 1995.“I guess I was just meant to be a secretary who doesn’t take shorthand,” she once quipped. “ I’m a lousy typist, too — 33 words a minute. ”Hale was born in De Kalb, Illinois, daughter of a landscape gardener and a homemaker. The family moved to Rockford when she was 4, and she later took part in a local theater."

Dias’ ships rounded the perilous Cape of Good Hope and then sailed around Africa’s southernmost point, Cabo das Agulhas, to enter the waters of the Indian Ocean. Portugal and other European nations already had long-established trade ties to Asia, but the arduous overland route had been closed in the 1450s due to the Ottoman Empire’s conquest of the remnants of the Byzantine Empire. A major maritime victory for Portugal, Dias’ breakthrough opened the door to increased trade with India and other Asian powers. It also prompted Genoan explorer Christopher Columbus (1451-1506), then living in Portugal, to seek a new royal patron for a mission to establish his own sea route to the Far East."

Fernando Pessoa’s statue These are some of Portuguese stereotypes Often confused with Spaniards and thus a lot of the Spanish stereotypes will also be applied to them. Their reaction is almost always one. Portuguese are generally known as explorers, thanks to Vasco da Gama, Henry the Navigator, Bartolomeu Dias, Pedro Alvares Cabral and Fernão de Magalhães, among others. References to their wine (“porto”), Fado music or sardines are also typical, as are their beaches. Portugal suffered under a dictatorship from 1932 to 1974."

Why was it that the Europeans imposed their presence on the rest of the world to such an amazing degree? This is one of those historical questions whose fascination is in proportion to our inability to answer any of them, for no definitive answer is possible. The peoples who led the way were neither rich nor numerous, not only by our standards but also by comparison with China, the most powerful, wealthy, and civilized state in the world at the time the great expansion began. The Chinese Empire was a trading empire, regularly sending ships on distant commercial expeditions involving thousands of tons of shipping and thousands of men. The Moslems were, and had long been, engaged in active trade throughout the East."

"text": "\"Cape Agulhas: The Place Where Two Oceans Meetby Kaushik 3 years ago When Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias rounded the rocky headland of South Africa’s Cape Peninsula in 1488, he became the first European to do so, thus opening the way for a sea route from Europe to Asia. He named it the “Cape of Storms”, because of the perilous sea, but it was later renamed “Cape of Good Hope”, because it brought hopes of a new sea route to India. On his return journey, Dias passed another rocky headland, but he was unaware that this unimpressive point was the southern extremity of Africa. Indeed, many people still believe that Cape of Good Hope is the southern-most tip of the African continent, but that title belongs to Cape Agulhas – the inconspicuous rocky headland about 150 km further south. Incidentally, Cape Agulhas is also the place where the official dividing line between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans passes. A stone plaque on the beach marks the place. Photo credit The boundary was not arbitrarily chosen. This is the place where the warm-water Agulhas current of the Indian Ocean meets the cold water Benguela current of the Atlantic Ocean and turns back on itself. However, any physical definition of a meeting point or dividing line between two oceans ignores the fact that currents don’t just halt their flow at any point. Ocean currents shift and mingle."

A few years later, Vasco de Gama reached India by sailing around Southern Africa.

It was a period of time when the European nations began exploring the world. They discovered new routes to India, much of the Far East, and the Americas. The Age of Exploration took place at the same time as the Renaissance. Why explore? Outfitting an expedition could be expensive and risky. Many ships never returned. So why did the Europeans want to explore? The simple answer is money.

Tordesillas line depicted, Biblioteca Estense, Modena The Age of Discovery, or the Age of Exploration (approximately from the beginning of the 15th century until the end of the 18th century) is an informal and loosely defined term for the period in European history in which extensive overseas exploration emerged as a powerful factor in European culture and was the beginning of globalization. It also marks the rise of the period of widespread adoption in Europe of colonialism and mercantilism as national policies. Many lands previously unknown to Europeans were discovered by them during this period, though most were already inhabited. From the perspective of many non-Europeans, the Age of Discovery marked the arrival of invaders from previously unknown continents. Global exploration started with the Portuguese discoveries of the Atlantic archipelagos of Madeira and the Azores, the coast of Africa, and the discovery of the sea route to India in 1498; and, on behalf of the Crown of Castile (Spain), the trans-Atlantic Voyages of Christopher Columbus between 1492 and 1502, and the first circumnavigation of the globe in 1519–1522. These discoveries led to numerous naval expeditions across the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans, and land expeditions in the Americas, Asia, Africa and Australia that continued into the late 19th century, and ended with the exploration of the polar regions in the 20th century. European overseas exploration led to the rise of global trade and the European colonial empires, with the contact between the Old World (Europe, Asia and Africa) and the New World (the Americas and Australia) producing the Columbian Exchange; a wide transfer of plants, animals, food, human populations (including slaves ), communicable diseases and culture between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. This represented one of the most-significant global events concerning ecology, agriculture and culture in history. The Age of Discovery and later European exploration allowed the global mapping of the world, resulting in a new world-view and distant civilizations coming into contact, but also led to the propagation of diseases that decimated populations not previously in contact with Eurasia and Africa and to the enslavement, exploitation, military conquest and economic dominance by Europe and its colonies over native populations."

A route to India Da Gama was born in 1460 to a family of nobles in Sines, Portugal. His father, Estevao, was also an explorer. Da Gama learned to navigate in the navy, which he joined as soon as he was old enough. In 1497, da Gama was appointed to command a ship with the goal of discovering a sailing route to India. Several decades earlier, Henry the Navigator had patronized several successful voyages in North and West Africa. These voyages were Portugal’s first steps at becoming a major maritime and colonial power. In 1487, Bartolomeu Dias discovered that the Indian and Atlantic Oceans were connected."

This was the apogee of Portugal as a country, and forever the benchmark of its culture. Throughout the 20th and now the 21st century, these years are mentioned ad nauseum as the seemingly lone landmarks of the Portuguese culture. The age of discoveries, fueled by the rise of the “dynamic thinkers” of the new Portugal, started with the Kingdom of Dom Joao I (John I). On July 25, 1415, a Portuguese fleet with King Joao I and his sons Prince Duarte, Prince Henry “The Navigator”, and Prince Afonso, along with Supreme Constable Nuno Alvares Pereira, set out to conquer North Africa starting with the coastal towns of Ceuta and Tangier. These towns were bustling trading centers. On August 21st, Ceuta and Tangier were conquered by the Portuguese. In early 15th century, Henry the Navigator founded the famous sailing school in Sagres and from there launched several sea expeditions which culminated in the discovery of the Archipelagos of Madeira Island and the Azores islands. Along with the invention of the sextant and major innovations in boat and sail design, Henry the Navigator made Portugal’s empire expansion possible and led to great advances in geographic knowledge. The discoveries were financed by the wealth of the Order of Christ, founded by King Dom Dinis (D. Dennis) in the 13th century for the Templar knights, who found refuge in Portugal after being pursued all over Europe."

( May 2012)The captain of a steam ship naturally chooses the shortest route to his destination. Since a sailing ship is usually pushed by winds and currents, its captain must find a route where the wind will probably blow in the right direction. Tacking, i.e. using contrary wind to pull (sic) the sails, was always possible but wasted time because of the zigzagging required, and this would significantly delay long voyages. The early European explorers were not only looking for new lands. They also had to discover the pattern of winds and currents that would carry them where they wanted to go. During the age of sail winds and currents determined trade routes and therefore influenced European imperialism and modern political geography.

Working with a cathode-ray tube in his laboratory, Roentgen observed a fluorescent glow of crystals on a table near his tube. The tube that Roentgen was working with consisted of a glass envelope (bulb) with positive and negative electrodes encapsulated in it. The air in the tube was evacuated, and when a high voltage was applied, the tube produced a fluorescent glow. Roentgen shielded the tube with heavy black paper, and discovered a green colored fluorescent light generated by a material located a few feet away from the tube. He concluded that a new type of ray was being emitted from the tube. This ray was capable of passing through the heavy paper covering and exciting the phosphorescent materials in the room. He found that the new ray could pass through most substances casting shadows of solid objects. Roentgen also discovered that the ray could pass through the tissue of humans, but not bones and metal objects.

His father, Alexander Edmond Becquerel, was a Professor of Applied Physics and had done research on solar radiation and on phosphorescence, while his grandfather, Antoine César, had been a Fellow of the Royal Society and the inventor of an electrolytic method for extracting metals from their ores. He entered the Polytechnic in 1872, then the government department of Ponts-et-Chaussées in 1874, becoming ingénieur in 1877 and being promoted to ingénieur-en-chef in 1894. In 1888 he acquired the degree of docteur-ès-sciences. From 1878 he had held an appointment as an Assistant at the Museum of Natural History, taking over from his father in the Chair of Applied Physics at the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers. In 1892 he was appointed Professor of Applied Physics in the Department of Natural History at the Paris Museum. He became a Professor at the Polytechnic in 1895. Becquerel's earliest work was concerned with the plane polarization of light, with the phenomenon of phosphorescence and with the absorption of light by crystals (his doctorate thesis). He also worked on the subject of terrestrial magnetism. In 1896, his previous work was overshadowed by his discovery of the phenomenon of natural radioactivity."

In 1896, Henri Becquerel accidentally discovered beta particles (and radioactivity for that matter!) while experimenting with fluorescence. He noticed that when you moved a sample of uranium close to a photographic plate wrapped with black paper the photographic plate was blackened. He was hoping to discover something about fluorescent materials, but instead he realized that some kind of radiation must be coming from the uranium and hitting the plate."

The way we discover the presence of radon actually involves looking for the radiation given off when radon decays. We have ways to \"\"see\"\" and to \"\"count\"\" the decays of radon. The unit of measure for radiation is the Curie (Ci), which is a heck of a lot of radiation. And we're measuring the levels in air.

Marie Curie, born Maria Sklodowska in Warsaw, Poland, on Nov. 7, 1867, d. July 3, 1934, spent many impoverished years as a teacher and governess before she joined her sister Bronia in Paris in order to study mathematics and physics at the Sorbonne, earning degrees in both subjects in 1893 and 1894. In the spring of the latter year she met the physicist Pierre Curie. They married a year later, and Marie subsequently gave birth to two daughters, Irene (1897) and Eve (1904). Pierre Curie, b. May 15, 1859, d. Apr. 19, 1906, obtained his doctorate in the year of his marriage, but he had already distinguished himself (along with his brother Jacques) in the study of the properties of crystals. He discovered the phenomenon of piezoelectricity, whereby changes in the volume of certain crystals excite small electric potentials. Along with work on crystal symmetry, Pierre Curie studied the magnetic properties of materials and constructed a torsion balance with a tolerance of 0.01 mg. He discovered that the magnetic susceptibility of paramagnetic materials is inversely proportional to the absolute temperature (Weiss-Curie's law) and that there exists a critical temperature above which the magnetic properties disappear (curie temperature). Since 1882, Pierre had headed the laboratory at the Ecole de Physique et de Chimie Industrielle in Paris, and it was here that both Marie and Pierre continued to work after their marriage. For her doctoral thesis, Madame Curie decided to study the mysterious radiation that had been discovered in 1896 by Henri Becquerel."

"text": "\"ATOMSCONCEPTOur world is made up of atoms, yet the atomic model of the universe is nonetheless considered a \"\"theory.\"\" When scientists know beyond all reasonable doubt that a particular principle is the case, then it is dubbed a law. Laws address the fact that certain things happen, as well as how they happen. A theory, on the other hand, attempts to explain why things happen. By definition, an idea that is dubbed a theory has yet to be fully proven, and such is the case with the atomic theory of matter. After all, the atom cannot be seen, even with electron microscopes — yet its behavior can be studied in terms of its effects. Atomic theory explains a great deal about the universe, including the relationship between chemical elements, and therefore (as with Darwin's theory concerning biological evolution), it is generally accepted as fact. The particulars of this theory, including the means by which it evolved over the centuries, are as dramatic as any detective story. Nonetheless, much still remains to be explained about the atom — particularly with regard to the smallest items it contains. HOW IT WORKSWhy Study Atoms?"

In 1897 at the age of 30, Maria Skłodowska, who had married Pierre Curie in 1895, concluded her studies at the Sorbonne in Paris and was thinking of a subject for a thesis. X-rays, discovered by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen in 1895, were still a topical question, but had lost the charm of novelty. On the other hand, the uranic rays, discovered in 1896 by Henri Becquerel, raised a puzzling problem. Uranium compounds and minerals appeared to maintain an undiminished ability to blacken a photographic plate over a period of several months. What was the source of this inexhaustible energy that apparently violated the Carnot principle that energy can be transformed but never be created or destroyed? Pierre Curie, already a famous physicist for his work on magnetism and crystal symmetry, had a feeling that the phenomenon was quite extraordinary, and he helped his wife reach a decision in her choice of thesis topic. Marie Curie, in a biography of Pierre Curie, confirmed, “we felt the investigation of the phenomenon very attractive, so much the more so as the topic was quite new and required no bibliographical research."

Answer by Geo Harvey Confidence votes 33.8KRadioactivity was discovered in 1896 by French physicist Henri Becquerel. But the process of getting from that point to having nuclear power was long and consisted of many steps over a period of over forty years. Nuclear fission was first achieved in the lab by Enrico Fermi in 1934, and the nature of fission was first understood in 1938. The fact that a critical mass of uranium-235 could produce an exothermic chain reaction was part of this understanding and lead to research to produce both nuclear power and a nuclear bomb. The first experimental nuclear reactor, which, as a proof of concept, only produced heat without any view to how that heat might be used, was the Chicago Pile-1, or CP-1. It achieved criticality on December 2, 1942. The first power plant to produce electricity was the EBR-I plant near Arco, Idaho.

These questions challenged scientists for a hundred and fifty years, beginning in the middle of the nineteenth century. Theoretical physicists battled geologists and evolutionary biologists in a heated controversy over who had the correct answer. Why was there so much fuss about this scientific puzzle? The nineteenth-century astronomer John Herschel described eloquently the fundamental role of sunshine in all of human life in his 1833 Treatise on Astronomy: The sun's rays are the ultimate source of almost every motion which takes place on the surface of the earth. By its heat are produced all winds ... By their vivifying action vegetables are elaborated from inorganic matter, and become, in their turn, the support of animals and of man, and the sources of those great deposits of dynamical efficiency which are laid up for human use in our coal strata. Sunshine makes life possible on earth. In this essay, we shall review from an historical perspective the development of our understanding of how the sun (the nearest star) shines, beginning in the following section with the nineteenth-century controversy over the age of the sun. In later sections, we shall see how seemingly unrelated discoveries in fundamental physics led to a theory of nuclear energy generation in stars that resolved the controversy over the age of the sun and explained the origin of solar radiation."

Photo: Reuters Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson defended his immigration plan during Wednesday night's Republican debate, but his explanation only got him into further trouble with some voters. Carson supports giving guest-worker status to millions of undocumented immigrants without criminal records. \"\" After we seal the borders, after we turn off the spigot that dispenses all the goodies...people who had a pristine record we should consider allowing them to become guest workers primarily in the agricultural sphere,\"\" Carson said. \"\" If they don't do it within that time period then they become illegal and as illegals they will be treated as such,\"\" he said. Carson said his plan is not amnesty because farmers cannot find American workers, which prompted criticism from some social media users who perceived the remark as suggesting immigrants can only do farm work. Carson has edged closer to Republican frontrunner Donald Trump in recent weeks. A recent poll found support for Carson has jumped to 23 percent, up significantly from the six percentage points Carson had before the first presidential debate in August. That puts Carson at just about 4 points below Trump. The arrogance @Ben Carson only migrant farm workers."

"text": "September 28, 2014Ben Carson: 2016 Elections Could Be Canceled Due To ‘Widespread Anarchy’US Politics Jonathan Vankin Ben Carson, the 63-year-old neurosurgeon-turned-Tea-Party activist and Fox News commentator, is reportedly ready to throw his hat in the ring for the 2016 presidential race — but Carson hasn’t made up his mind yet, because he fears that the elections will be canceled as society falls apart and slips into a state of anarchy. Carson first issued the dire warning in late August at a Republican fundraiser in Iowa — which, as the first state to cast ballots during primary season, is a frequent stop for aspiring presidential candidates. At that time, Carson said that if the Republican Party fails to win back the Senate in the November 2014 mid-term elections, they could choose to cancel the presidential election in 2016 — presumably installing Barack Obama as president for life. In fact, at that August 25 event, Carson’s wife, Candy, hinted that the Carson family may flee the United States for Australia if Republican candidates do not prevail in November. Asked in a Fox News interview on Sunday morning whether he still believed that the United States will disintegrate into “widespread anarchy” in the next two years, Carson held to his prediction. “Certainly there’s the potential because you have to recognize that we have a rapidly increasing national debt, a very unstable financial foundation, and you have all these things going on like the ISIS crisis that could very rapidly change things that are going on in our nation,” Carson told Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace. “ And unless we begin to deal with these things in a comprehensive way and in a logical way there is no telling what could happen in just a couple of years. ”Carson did not elaborate on what makes the current problems he identified more likely to cause the collapse of the United States social order than any of the previous crises that have befallen the country in its 238-year history. “Despite Carson’s fears,” wrote Think Progress reporter Josh Israel, “the United States has held presidential elections every four years since 1788, despite a civil war, two world wars, and a great depression. ”The presidential hopeful also accused Democratic Senate Majority leader of “thwarting the will of the people” by holding up “over 300 bills passed by the house that remain ‘sitting on his desk.

And we have 10 times more people on welfare, more people in poverty, more broken homes, more crimes. ”—Ben Carson, interview on CNN, Aug. 26, 2015Ben Carson, a neurosurgeon who is seeking the GOP presidential nomination, asserted in a television interview that government efforts to ease poverty have largely been a failure. He specifically made two claims — that $19 trillion has been spent on anti-poverty programs since the mid-1960s and that “we have 10 times more people on welfare.” More generally, he also said that there are more people living in poverty. We’ve often explained that statistics can be manipulated when comparing decades. For instance, the population of the United States is 60 percent larger in 2015 than it was in 1965, so it may not be relevant to compare raw numbers. There are definitional issues, such as what constitutes an “anti-poverty” or “welfare” program. Is it all means-tested programs, including health insurance such as Medicaid that also assists people above the poverty line? Or should it be limited to traditional anti-poverty programs such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)?"

"text": "In recent weeks, there has been a lot of concern that an upcoming eight week military exercise on U. S. soil known as “ Jade Helm ” is actually a dress rehearsal for the imposition of martial law in this country. One of the reasons for the high level of concern is that we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of “urban warfare exercises” conducted by the U. S. military in major U. S. cities over the past decade – including exercises where “dissidents” are hunted down, arrested and hauled away. As our world becomes increasingly unstable, and as our society rapidly decays from within, many believe that it is only a matter of time before the executive branch will have sufficient excuse to use the extensive martial law powers that it has been accumulating since 9/11. When that day arrives, what will our nation look like? What would actually happen if martial law was declared in America? Well, the first thing that you need to know is that the U. S. Constitution would be “suspended”. In other words, you would suddenly have no rights at all. There would be no freedom of speech, no freedom of the press, no freedom of assembly and you could be arrested at any time for any reason whatsoever. For the duration of the “emergency”, the military would be in control. There would be troops in the streets, a curfew would almost certainly be imposed, and armed checkpoints would be set up."

"text": "It’s OFFICIAL! Dr. Ben Carson Just Made a MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT – It Will Make You Stand Up & Cheer!Archives By Thomas | November 6, 2014 3:22PMCORRECTION Via ABC News: Due to an editing error, an earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that Ben Carson made an opening bid for the Republican presidential nomination. Carson has not made a formal announcement for president, but has said he is “starting to think about it.” The Political Insider regrets the error. Dr. Ben Carson, the famous neurosurgeon and conservative super star, has made a major announcement: HE IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!Officially, Carson – who just became a Republican after spending years as an Independent – is ready to challenge the policies of President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. And it all begins with a 40-minute long television special he is sponsoring to introduce himself: The documentary titled “A Breath of Fresh Air: A New Prescription for America” will air in 22 states and Washington, DC. The paid video will detail some of his biography and family life, including his rise from being born to a single mother with a poor childhood in Detroit to director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins for almost 40 years, known for his work separating conjoined twins, to potential 2016 presidential candidate. Carson first became a conservative star when last year he created a buzz at the National Prayer Breakfast when in front of an audience that included President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden spoke out about political correctness, health care and taxes. He also called for a private health care savings plan and a flat tax in a speech that went viral and led to an editorial in the Wall Street Journal titled Ben Carson for President. He is known as a fierce opponent of the president’s health care law known as Obamacare."

Chris Christie take the stage during the CNN Republican presidential debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum on Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2015, in Simi Valley, Calif. (AP Photo/Chris Carlson)The Republican primary debates have been emphasizing foreign policy, and for good reason. According to the 2015 Chicago Council Survey of the American public released last week, Republicans are more likely than Democrats to see a dangerous world and to prioritize maintaining U. S. military superiority and using force to achieve U. S. goals. But as the Republican debates demonstrated recently, not all GOP primary candidates sing this tune. So which candidates best represent Republican voters — and Americans in general — on the foreign policy topics being discussed in the Republican primary debates? In some ways, the Republican candidates help illustrate the full array of the GOP public’s preferences on foreign policy. The survey reveals interesting differences between those Americans who describe themselves as either “strong” and “weak” GOP supporters, especially when it comes to immigration, dealing with Iran, lifting the embargo against Cuba, and climate. Immigration Start with immigration, which moderator of the second GOP candidates debate Jake Tapper called the most “combustible” topic of the campaign so far. The candidates were ready to crack down on those in the country without papers, albeit in different ways: Donald Trump wants to build a wall; Chris Christie wants to use everything from drones to mandatory fingerprinting for all visa holders to hold them accountable; Ben Carson wants to turn off “the spigot that dispenses all the goodies” and to allow in new immigrants primarily as guest workers to the agricultural sphere; Jeb Bush called all this impractical and costly, and championed a “comprehensive, conservative” approach. Republican voters show a similar spread of opinions in the Chicago Council Survey results. Strong Republicans tend to view deportation as the best way to address illegal immigration (53 percent vs. 32 percent who say that illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay in the United States with a path to citizenship)."

S. president. By North American Division staff As the 2016 United States election cycle begins, the Seventh-day Adventist Church is aware of the increased interest in the presidential candidacy of Dr. Ben Carson. Dr. Carson’s story is well known to most Adventists, and he is a well-respected physician. The Adventist Church has a longstanding position of not supporting or opposing any candidate for elected office. This position is based both on our historical position of separation of church and state and the applicable federal law relating to the church’s tax-exempt status. While individual church members are free to support or oppose any candidate for office as they see fit, it is crucial that the church as an institution remain neutral on all candidates for office. Care should be taken that the pulpit and all church property remain a neutral space when it comes to elections. Church employees must also exercise extreme care not to express views in their denominational capacity about any candidate for office, including Dr. Carson. We also want to remind our church members, pastors, and administrators of the church’s official position on the separation of church and state."

While some in the denomination laud his candidacy and his remarkable personal biography that propelled him to fame, others feel his deeply partisan rhetoric since turning to politics negates his legacy as a physician. On May 4, the day Carson officially announced his candidacy as a Republican hopeful, the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists issued a statement asking Church members not to engage in politicking under the auspices of the denominationon behalf of the first ever Adventist presidential candidate: The Adventist Church has a longstanding position of not supporting or opposing any candidate for elected office. This position is based both on our historical position of separation of church and state and the applicable federal law relating to the church’s tax-exempt status. The statement, issued on the Adventist Review's website, sought to remind members and leaders at all levels that the Adventist Church has long advocated for a clear separation of church and state, and seeks to defend the religious liberties of people of all faiths. The statement went on,While individual church members are free to support or oppose any candidate for office as they see fit, it is crucial that the church as an institution remain neutral on all candidates for office. For Linda Rosenquist, a Southern California resident, Ben Carson's candidacy was not only worthy of her support, but also of her involvement. Rosenquist volunteered in 2014 for the \"\"Run Ben Run Draft Ben Carson for President Campaign.\"\" She connected with a group of activists and supporters who hoped to encourage Carson to run, and to raise money and awareness for his campaign. Rosenquist's enthusiasm for Ben Carson is representative of many Adventists' sentiments:\"\"He came up from nothing in Detroit and became world-class neurosurgeon."

"text": "\"Ben Carson’s Popeyes Robbery Claim Questioned By Kim La Capria 9 October 20150NEWS: Republican presidential hopeful Dr. Ben Carson claimed he was once involved in a robbery at a Popeyes location. On 7 October 2015, Republican candidate Dr. Ben Carson spoke relayed an anecdote about his purported presence during a robbery at a Popeyes (fast food fried chicken restaurant) to Sirius XM “Urban View” host Karen Hunter. In remarks later widely reproduced and transcribed, Carson said: I have had a gun held on me when I was in a Popeyes organization. Guy comes in, put the gun in my ribs. And I just said, ‘I believe that you want the guy behind the counter. Carson’s claim elicited a number of reactions, many of them critical or skeptical — partially due to the fact that Carson provided few details about when or where the purported incident occurred, and partially because Carson essentially claimed that an armed robber once stuck a gun in his ribs, and his reaction was to redirect the gunman into targeting a restaurant employee. Among the media outlets questioning the veracity of the anecdote was the Daily Beast: in an article titled “Was Ben Carson Really Held at Gunpoint?” the site questioned Carson’s account: When The Daily Beast reached out to Carson’s “business manager” and central advisor, Armstrong Williams, he said that Carson had personally told him the story, and that it also appeared in Carson’s 2006 book, Take the Risk. There is no story about a stickup at Popeyes in Take the Risk. That outlet maintained Williams “later attempted to revise when and how the robbery occurred,” later reporting that key details and timeframes provided were suspiciously fluid: In [Williams’] version of events, when Carson had the gun pulled on him, “it had to be 20 years ago.” ("

He was a candidate for the Republican Party's 2016 presidential nomination and won the second-most state contests and delegates. Cruz themed his campaign around being an outsider and a strict conservative. In the crowded early field, he chose not to directly confront the leading candidate, Donald Trump, who was also viewed as an outsider candidate. His cordial and sympathetic tone towards Trump contrasted with the more critical approach of rivals such as Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and Rand Paul. As the field narrowed, Cruz's position in the race strengthened, owing to his debate performances and strong field infrastructure. He won the Iowa Caucuses in February, the first contest of the race. But as the field narrowed and less-viable candidates dropped out, Republican support concentrated around Trump rather than Cruz. Trump beat Cruz handily on Super Tuesday and in most subsequent primaries. At this point, with the race essentially narrowed to one between Cruz and Trump, the two candidates began to openly criticize each other (whereas they had previously been notably cordial)."

I think I’ve done a lot. ”He also insulted Khan’s wife, who did not speak during her husband’s speech, asking if she was perhaps not allowed to talk — stereotyping the Muslim community. “If you look at his wife, she was standing there, she had nothing to say, she probably — maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say, you tell me,” Trump told Stephanopoulos."

Photograph: Mike Segar/Reuters President-elect Donald Trump scheduled a series of meetings with close allies and Washington veterans this week, stoking speculation about his possible cabinet picks – just as he did this summer, when he polled crowds about his running mate and floated improbable names to the press. Who are Trump's attorney general, national security adviser and CIA chief? Read more Trump has weeks to decide nominations to head the US’s powerful federal agencies, though presidents-elect have historically made most of their nominations in December. So far he has made three nominations, and his aides have leaked out a dozen possible names for other cabinet positions. Attorney general Senator Jeff Sessions, 69, was named by Trump as nominee to lead the justice department, provoking immediate outrage from Democrats and civil rights groups. Sessions was rejected for confirmation as a federal judge in 1986, after testimony that he said the Ku Klux Klan was “ OK until I found out they smoked pot ” and called a black attorney “boy” (he denied the latter). A decade later he won election to a Senate seat in Alabama, and in the 2016 campaign he became one of Trump’s most ardent supporters, especially on immigration. “If you have nostalgia for the days when blacks kept quiet, gays were in the closet, immigrants were invisible and women stayed in the kitchen, Senator Jefferson Beauregard Sessions is your man,” Democratic representative Luis Gutiérrez said in a statement. If confirmed, Sessions would succeed Loretta Lynch, the first African American woman to serve as attorney general."

"text": "Louise Wateridge/Pacific Press/ZUMALooking for news you can trust? Subscribe to our free newsletters. Ben Carson took to a stage in Des Moines, Iowa, on Wednesday to let the world know that just because Armstrong Williams, his longtime friend and close adviser, says something, that doesn’t mean it’s true. That remark was a kick in the teeth to Williams, a prominent and controversial black conservative pundit and PR specialist who calls himself Carson’s business manager, and it naturally made headlines. But hours later, Carson joined Williams on Williams’ nightly radio show and declared that he had complete faith in Williams, who has played an outsize—and perhaps negative—role in Carson’s presidential campaign. What the heck was going on? The Carson campaign already had enough to worry about in the final days before the Iowa caucuses. Carson at one point led the GOP pack in Iowa, but for weeks he’s been stuck in single digits in the polls. And once more the story for his campaign was internal chaos and Carson’s odd relationship with Williams. It was the latest iteration of a deep problem that, according to Carson staffers who recently quit, has dogged the campaign from the beginning and may well doom it."

"text": "Benjamin Franklin “Honesty is the best policy”It is believed to be Benjamin Franklin who first said that “Honesty is the best policy”. Franklin was a man who through-out his substantive 84 years demonstrated ‘honesty’ and ‘integrity’ over and over again. Working with other historic figures such as George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, Franklin was elected to the Second Continental Congress and worked on a committee of five that helped to draft America’s “Declaration of Independence”; although much of the writing is said to be that of Thomas Jefferson’s, a vast amount of the contribution is known to be that of Benjamin Franklin’s. A man of many parts Benjamin Franklin is an interesting character, who in his early years involved himself in printing and soap making. In his latter years he started concentrating his energies on science, experiments, and inventions. In 1743, he had already invented a heat-efficient stove, called the Franklin stove. Sadly his honesty and uprightness cost him dearly financially because as the stove was invented to help improve society, he refused to take out a patent. Among Franklin’s other inventions are swim fins and bifocals. In the early 1750’s he turned to the study of electricity. His observations, including his kite experiment which verified the nature of electricity and lightning brought Franklininternational fame."

"text": "\"Fascinating facts about the invention of Bifocals by Benjamin Franklin in 1760. BIFOCAL GLASSESGlass lenses, for use as magnifiers or for starting fires, date to about 300 BC, but the first eyeglasses to aid or correct vision were almost certainly invented in 1280 in Florence, Italy by the Dominican friar Alessandro della Spina and / or his friend, the physicist Salvino degli Armati. Prescribed for far-sightedness, the glasses had convex lenses and were worn by Armati, who had injured his eyes while performing light refraction experiments and discovered that it was possible to enlarge the appearance of objects by looking through two pieces of convex glass. It was in the early fourteenth century that concave lenses were used to correct near-sightedness. In fact, Pope Leo X was depicted wearing glasses, with concave lenses, in a 1517 painting by Raphael. Whereas early eyeglasses were made of polished quartz, by the sixteenth century developments in glassmaking made it possible to mass produce them from glass. Bifocals, the combination of both concave and convex lenses for both types of vision correction, a top lens for distant viewing and a lower lens for reading, were developed around 1760 by the American statesman and inventor Benjamin Franklin.

"text": "\"Benjamin Franklin Invented Bifocals Fact Researched by Thomas De Michele Published - October 29, 2015Last Updated - July 7, 2016Share This Fact Benjamin Franklin likely invented Bifocals. Did Benjamin Franklin Invent the Bifocal? Benjamin Franklin is popularly credited with inventing bifocals, although evidence suggests he may have been simply an early adopter of the split-bifocal lens. Historical documents, including writings by Franklin and his contemporaries, show that he was one of the first to be documented as using and wearing bifocals. Franklin definitively mentions the split-lens spectacle in 1785; a letter written by a friend in 1789 claims that he had used them for the past 50 years. However, no one patented the bifocal until 1836. [ 1]Evidence suggests that other people may have also invented their own version of the bifocal at around the same time. Some think that Franklin, given his prominence in history, could be unduly credited with the invention.

"text": "\"Top 10 Greatest Inventors in History76By Jeff Danelek on January 24, 2011 Engineering, History, People, Science How to determine who the greatest inventors in history were is often a passionate and, at times, even a heated debate. Many men can lay claim to having invented or, at very least, perfecting someone else’s obscure invention, making such a listing problematic at best. Fortunately, I don’t maintain any personal favorites, which will hopefully give me the ability to remain a little more objective than some people. I know that some readers whose favorites failed to make the list will consider their oversight a great travesty, but I really do try to do my best. To pick the top names, I’ve tended towards those who have the greatest number of inventions to their credit—assuming fecundity to be a better gauge of genius—rather than selecting only those inventors who came up with the most significant devices (although there is a degree of overlap between them). That being said, there are a few inventors not on my list who hold over a thousand patents each; they fail to make the cut, however, because almost all of their patents relate to minor variations on a single device (such as a computer processor, for example) or are concentrated in one specific industry rather than over a range of disciplines. Additionally, I do factor in the major impact some inventions had on society but gauge them based upon the degree of technical challenges they represented and the level of technology available to the inventor at the time. And so, without further ado, here are my nominations for the ten greatest inventors of all time.10. Leonardo Da Vinci Many will doubtlessly be surprised that one of the greatest minds of the Renaissance has fallen all the way to number ten, but that’s not an indictment of him, but of the times he lived in. The problem was that his ideas were so far ahead of the technology of his age that almost none of his ideas could be realized; as such, technically he didn’t really “invent” anything at all."

The creation of DST is usually credited to George Vernon Hudson, but 100 years earlier, Benjamin Franklin pondered a similar question Ben Franklin, inventor of all things sky-related (Library of Congress)By Angela Serratoresmithsonian.com March 8, 2013346 5 0 4 377The creation of DST is usually credited to George Vernon Hudson, a New Zealand artist and amateur bug collector who first proposed the idea in an 1895 paper, but 100 years earlier, Benjamin Franklin, inventor of all things useful, pondered a similar question in a letter to the editor of the Journal of Paris: I looked at my watch, which goes very well, and found that it was but six o’clock; and still thinking it something extraordinary that the sun should rise so early, I looked into the almanac, where I found it to be the hour given for his rising on that day. I looked forward, too, and found he was to rise still earlier every day till towards the end of June; and that at no time in the year he retarded his rising so long as till eight o’clock. Your readers, who with me have never seen any signs of sunshine before noon, and seldom regard the astronomical part of the almanac, will be as much astonished as I was, when they hear of his rising so early; and especially when I assure them, that he gives light as soon as he rises. I am convinced of this. I am certain of my fact. One cannot be more certain of any fact. I saw it with my own eyes. And, having repeated this observation the three following mornings, I found always precisely the same result. Adjusting to a new system of sleeping and waking, based not on clocks but on the sun itself, Franklin, argued, would be simple: All the difficulty will be in the first two or three days; after which the reformation will be as natural and easy as the present irregularity; for,ce n’est que le premier pas qui coûte."

After all, he invented his own alphabet, was a chess master, and there’s even a psychological effect bearing his name. ( Although he never actually campaigned for the turkey to represent the US.) But these facts just barely scratch the surface of Franklin’s amazing life. Really, this guy needs an entire list dedicated to his crazy achievements . . . so here we go.10 The ‘Drinkers Dictionary’Benjamin Franklin was a man who enjoyed his wine. While no heavy drinker, Franklin kept 1,200 bottles of Bordeaux, champagne, and sherry locked away in his Paris home. In one of his many letters, he declared that wine is “constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy,” and even gave an amusing anecdote as to why the Lord brought about the Genesis flood. “Before the days of Noah,” he wrote, “men, having nothing but water to drink, could not discover the truth."

Franklin's harmonica was based on earlier designs consisting of sets of glasses, partly filled with water, that were rubbed with a wet finger. It consisted of a series of crystal glass hemispheres, mounted on a shaft that went through their centers. When the shaft was turned, the hemispheres rotated, and a wet finger applied to make them sound. Unlike the glasses, which were tuned by filling with varying amounts of water, the harmonica hemispheres were tuned at the time they were made, according to their size.

The armonica was created in 1761, when Franklin got an inspiration, after the concert of Handel's Water Music, whose parts were played on tuned wine glasses. His armonica did not require water tuning, it was smaller than the originals, and it used glasses that were blown in the proper thickness and size.

Its battery level is perilously low, but you have 15 minutes to spare, so you plug it into its charger to give the battery a boost – and it gains a measly two percent. How do you avoid this in future? Read our guide on how to charge your Android battery faster. Android smartphones with the best battery life How to fix a phone that won't charge properly Battery life is a combination of many different factors, so there's no single solution to rule them all, but if you use your smartphone intelligently and have the right equipment, all these good practices can add up to save you a ton of frustration with your battery. Check out all our top tips below. Jump to: Get the right plug and charger Put it into airplane mode Turn it off Use a battery-saving mode Switch off unnecessary features Don't touch it Buy a portable USB charger Get the right plug and charger While Android chargers have a universal fitting, that doesn't mean they're all the same. Connecting your charging cable to a laptop is a bad idea if you want to charge your phone quickly: a USB 2.0 port chucks out just 2.5 watts of power, while USB 3 delivers 4.5 watts. Your wall charger will deliver much more, so this is the best bet if you want the speediest charging. Many modern Android phones support fast charging, which delivers a whopping 15 watts and can therefore charge your phone much more quickly."

"text": "Frequently Asked Questions Search FAQ / Posting rides / Setting a price What is the maximum number of seats I can offer? It is no longer possible to offer more than 3 seats in your vehicle, regardless of the price you propose. The basis of carpooling lies in cost sharing (fuel, toll, vehicle depreciation, repairs, insurance etc. ), and not to generate a profit. Did you know that taking too many passengers in the same vehicle at our suggested price per passenger, a driver could be registering a profit? This would have two significant consequences:· In case of an accident, the insurance company could refuse to cover the driver and passengers: indeed, individual insurance plans can be considered null and void if the driver is making a profit.· The transport of people is a regulated activity, and if the driver is generating a profit from passenger payments, then they can be subject to large fines from the police forthe illegal transport of people. For these reasons, we decided that it is important to provide a clear framework for all drivers to operate within and help explain the risks associated with taking too many passengers on board. Therefore, we have chosen to limit the number of available seats per vehicle to 3, to establish simple rules between passengers and drivers. What if I have a people carrier?"

Photo by NASA. The modern exploration of space is often seen as a macho endeavor. In films, TV, and often in our history books, the astronauts who head into space are the manliest of manly men—think Armageddon and Apollo 13. In old photos of NASA’s command center, the scientists who send them into space seem look distinctly homogenous, too: Apollo 13 flight directors applaud the successful splashdown of the Command Module “Odyssey” in 1970. Photo via NASA. But, in reality, women have been involved behind-the-scenes in planning space flights since the beginning. Just last month, Barack Obama awarded the presidential medal of freedom —America’s highest civilian honor—to a 97-year-old mathematician named Katherine Coleman Goble Johnson. You might not have heard her name in history class, but Katherine did some life-saving work back in 1962. In her job at NASA, she calculated the trajectory for astronaut John Glenn's pioneering space mission to orbit Earth."

The war's desperate circumstances meant that the Confederacy changed their policy in the last month of the war; in March 1865, a small program attempted to recruit, train, and arm blacks, but no significant numbers were ever raised or recruited, and those that were never saw combat.

S. Public Health Service (PHS) conducted an experiment on 399 black men in the late stages of syphilis. These men, for the most part illiterate sharecroppers from one of the poorest counties in Alabama, were never told what disease they were suffering from or of its seriousness. Informed that they were being treated for “bad blood,” their doctors had no intention of curing them of syphilis at all. The data for the experiment was to be collected from autopsies of the men, and they were thus deliberately left to degenerate under the ravages of tertiary syphilis—which can include tumors, heart disease, paralysis, blindness, insanity, and death. “ As I see it,” one of the doctors involved explained, “we have no further interest in these patients until they die. ”Using Human Beings as Laboratory Animals The true nature of the experiment had to be kept from the subjects to ensure their cooperation. The sharecroppers' grossly disadvantaged lot in life made them easy to manipulate."

The cell lines they need are “immortal”—they can grow indefinitely, be frozen for decades, divided into different batches and shared among scientists. In 1951, a scientist at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, created the first immortal human cell line with a tissue sample taken from a young black woman with cervical cancer. Those cells, called He La cells, quickly became invaluable to medical research—though their donor remained a mystery for decades. In her new book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, journalist Rebecca Skloot tracks down the story of the source of the amazing He La cells, Henrietta Lacks, and documents the cell line’s impact on both modern medicine and the Lacks family. Who was Henrietta Lacks? She was a black tobacco farmer from southern Virginia who got cervical cancer when she was 30. A doctor at Johns Hopkins took a piece of her tumor without telling her and sent it down the hall to scientists there who had been trying to grow tissues in culture for decades without success. No one knows why, but her cells never died."

"text": "Print Leaflet Feedback Share »Jacob Lawrence dead at 82: a major American painter By Fred Mazelis 16 June 2000Jacob Lawrence, who died on June 9 at the age of 82, was a significant American painter. His work was rooted in US history, particularly in the struggle against slavery and racial oppression. Shaped by the great changes of the first half of the twentieth century, his painting has lost none of its power at the opening of the twenty-first. Sixty years ago, Lawrence was the first black artist to achieve prominence in what was still a largely segregated art world and society as a whole. For the past six decades he has remained the most celebrated African-American painter, past or present. Lawrence was born on September 17, 1917 and his formative years were the 1920s and 30s. These were the years of the great black migration, which saw one million people move from the rural South to the urban North in the period between 1916 and 1930. The 1920s also saw the emergence of the Harlem Renaissance, the artistic and cultural awakening within the rapidly growing black community centered in the neighborhood just north of Manhattan's Central Park. Lawrence was to meet most of the major figures in this cultural circle, including Howard University professor Alain Locke, writer and poet Langston Hughes, novelists Richard Wright and Ralph Ellison, and painters William Johnson and Aaron Douglas. Locke urged black writers and artists to turn to African and folk traditions, a conception used by some to argue for a kind of cultural nationalism and separatism."

Five years ago, I wrote a four part series detailing the history of the black quarterback. With February being Black History Month and Super Bowl XLVII marking the 25th anniversary of Doug Williams becoming the first black quarterback to win a Super Bowl, I figured it was worth another trip down memory lane. The history of black quarterbacks in professional football is complicated. As recently as 2007, the New York Giants had never had a black quarterback throw even a single pass. On the other hand, as far back as 1921, Frederick Douglass “Fritz” Pollard not only quarterbacked the Akron Pros, but was also the first black head coach in NFL history. A year earlier, Pollard and Bobby Marshall were the first two black players in professional football history and helped the Pros win the championship in the NFL’s inaugural season. 1 The Pros ran the single-wing, and Pollard was the player lined up behind the center who received the snaps. At the time the forward pass was practically outlawed, so Pollard barely resembles the modern quarterback outside of the fact that he threw a few touchdown passes during his career. 2According to the great Sean Lahman, at least one African American played in the NFL in every year from 1920 to 1933, although Pollard was the only quarterback."

The Heritage Foundation has a number of goals. One is to roll back the liberal welfare state. A prerequisite to understanding what happened to create the liberal welfare state, and to accomplishing the goal of rolling it back, is understanding the liberal welfare state itself, its origins, and the thinking that led to its creation. There's no better place to start than by closely examining the so-called Kerner Commission -- its history, its recommended policies, and its recommended solutions -- and by honestly evaluating how these policies have fared, 30 years later. In August 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson created the Kerner Commission, which was named after its chairman, Illinois governor Otto Kerner. Eight months later, in March 1968, the commission submitted a 426-page report that, interestingly, became a best seller with over 2 million copies sold. Looking back on the Kerner Commission, it resembles a Who's Who of liberal elites back then, including New York mayor John Lindsay, Roy Wilkins of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people, and Oklahoma populist senator Fred Harris. The Kerner Commission is known best for its conclusion that the United States is moving toward two societies -- one black, one white; separate and unequal."

The act of leaving one's country to settle in another is called emigration. Immigrants who flee their country because of persecution, war, or such disasters as famines or epidemics are known as refugees or displaced persons. Most people find it very hard to pull up roots in their native land and move to a strange country. But throughout history, countless millions of people have done so. The heaviest immigration worldwide took place from the early 1800's to the Great Depression, the economic hard times of the 1930's. In that period, about 60 million people moved to a new land.

By David Kenneth Stokely Carmichael transformed the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee into a Black Power organization. The civil rights movement progressed through various stages in the 1960s. Activists began the decade by focusing on Southern racial discrimination. Because of the sustained protests of the 1960s, President Lyndon Baines Johnson placed his support behind legislation that would end the most visible signs of Southern racial injustice. In response, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Acts of 1965. Southern states and private citizens could no longer deprive African Americans the rights to equal facilities and to vote without unfair impediments. After these successes, the movement shifted course, transcending the earlier focus on Southern segregation and voting rights. Less Southern Southern segregation, known widely as Jim Crow, differed from the less formal, de facto segregation found in the North and West. African Americans in these latter regions still suffered racial injustices, having to live in certain areas in less than ideal conditions."

( © Jacob and Gwendolyn Lawrence Foundation, Seattle / ARS, NY / Museum of Modern Art / SCALA / Art Resource, NY)By Ira Berlin Smithsonian Magazine | Subscribe February 2010Some years ago, I was interviewed on public radio about the meaning of the Emancipation Proclamation. I addressed the familiar themes of the origins of that great document: the changing nature of the Civil War, the Union army’s growing dependence on black labor, the intensifying opposition to slavery in the North and the interplay of military necessity and abolitionist idealism. I recalled the longstanding debate over the role of Abraham Lincoln, the Radicals in Congress, abolitionists in the North, the Union army in the field and slaves on the plantations of the South in the destruction of slavery and in the authorship of legal freedom. And I stated my long-held position that slaves played a critical role in securing their own freedom. The controversy over what was sometimes called “self-emancipation” had generated great heat among historians, and it still had life. As I left the broadcast booth, a knot of black men and women—most of them technicians at the station—were talking about emancipation and its meaning. Once I was drawn into their discussion, I was surprised to learn that no one in the group was descended from anyone who had been freed by the proclamation or any other Civil War measure. Two had been born in Haiti, one in Jamaica, one in Britain, two in Ghana, and one, I believe, in Somalia. Others may have been the children of immigrants."

Unlike the bulky flash memory-based MP3 players from Rio and other companies, Fadell wanted to deliver a small, hard drive-based player that was linked with a content delivery system where users could legally obtain and download music. The first company he pitched it to was Real Networks in 2000, where the CEO, Rob Glaser, was already in control of a large content delivery system through Real’s premium radio and television channels. Real could not rationalize going through the trouble of releasing an accessory to their already profitable system, and Real would be caught off guard when the i Tunes Music Store opened. Fadell also approached Phillips, which also rebuffed him. Fadell Comes to Apple Out of desperation, Fadell turned to Apple, which years before had sworn off consumer electronics after their unsuccessful Pippin and Newton. The executives at Apple were very enthusiastic about implementing Fadell’s plan at Apple – unbeknownst to Fadell, Apple had bought the rights to Sound Jam MP months before."

Regrettably, within mainstream press and academia circles, there seems to be a conspicuous – and dare we say it – deliberate vacuum when it comes to reporting news of these recent studies and their obvious implications. This article was inspired by a comment made recently by Australian historian Greg Jefferys. So before continuing a scientific assessment of DNA evidence, we will first open this discussion by outlining Greg Jefferys’ comments. The whole ‘Out of Africa’ myth has its roots in the mainstream academic campaign in the 1990’s to remove the concept of Race. When I did my degree they all spent a lot of time on the ‘Out of Africa’ thing but it’s been completely disproved by genetics. Mainstream still hold on to it. It did begin the early 90’s. And the academics most responsible for cementing both the Out-of Africa theory and the complementary common ancestral African mother – given the name of “Eve” – in the public arena and nearly every curriculum, were Professors Alan C. Wilson and Rebecca L. Cann."

"text": "\"Arts, Music, and Recreation ›Music How Reggae Legend Bob Marley Died Share Flipboard Email Print Peter Still / Redferns / Getty Imagesby Megan Romer Updated April 02, 2018If you're a reggae fan, you've probably heard several urban legends about how Bob Marley died. He was in the prime of his career when he was diagnosed with cancer, which killed him at age 36. A devout Rastafarian, Marley's faith would play a profound role in how he sought treatment. A Diagnosis of Melanoma In 1977, Bob Marley was diagnosed with malignant melanoma, a kind of skin cancer, after doctors found a lesion on a toe he'd injured in a soccer game. At the time, physicians recommended having the toe amputated. However, Marley opposed the surgery. Marley's Rastafarian Faith As a devout Rastafarian, Bob Marley adhered strongly to the tenets of his religion, which includes a belief that amputation is sinful. A Bible verse that Rastafarians hold as very important is Leviticus 21:5, which says, \"\"They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in the flesh. \"\" The first part of this verse is the foundation of the belief in wearing dreadlocks, and the second is the basis for a belief that amputation (as well as other types of body modification) is sinful. Other verses, including those which refer to the body as a holy temple, may also influence this belief."

"text": "Entertainment How did Bob Marley die?05 Oct, 2015 - 00:10 2 Comments 2 Images Bob Marley Bob Marley Fred Zindi Music On May 11, 1981, the world was bombarded with the shocking news of Bob Marley’s death. At the time of his death, we were told that Marley had succumbed to cancer which had developed from his toe since 1976. Thirty four years after his death, stories are beginning to emerge about how the reggae icon died. Now, Bunny Wailer with whom Bob Marley worked in the Wailers Band, maintains that Bob Marley was murdered by his wife, Rita Marley and his manager, Chris Blackwell who connived to steal $30 million from his royalties as well as the rights to his music. That aside, many other conspiracy theories have emerged. It is claimed that the CIA artificially induced cancer into Bob Marley’s toe. Surviving a failed attempt on his life by a well-armed death squad at his 56 Hope Road home in Kingston, Jamaica, Bob was later given a ‘gift’ of a new pair of boots by Carl Colby, son of the late CIA director, William Colby. When the unsuspecting Marley put them on, something pricked his foot. He then reached into one of the boots and pulled out a piece of copper wire. Coincidentally, that same toe later became the source of malignant cancer that spread throughout his body, killing him."

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video. This song is about taking action to avoid oppression. Marley wrote it with Peter Tosh, and the song was influenced by their upbringing in Jamaica, where they had to fight for respect and acceptance for their Rastafarian religion. The music is based on the song \"\" Slippin' Into Darkness \"\" by the band War. Marley was friends with members of the band, and encouraged them to come to Jamaica. The Burnin' album, where this song first appeared, was released by Marley's group The Wailers. In 1974, The Wailers broke up but Marley continued to tour and record as \"\"Bob Marley & The Wailers,\"\" even though he was the only original Wailer in the group. Mick Jagger says that this is his favorite reggae song. The Rolling Stones frontman met Marley at the studio when Marley was working on his 1973 Catch a Fire album."

I thought I knew everything about Bob. Anyway, some guy at work swears that Bob Marley sang \"\"Don't Worry Be Happy\"\". I was under the impression that this was Bobby Mc Ferrin's song back in the late 80's. I've never heard a Bob Marley version of this. Does anyone know if he wrote it? If he did, did he ever record it? I've seen this song mislabeled in friends MP3 collections as well tagging it as a Marley song when it's clearly Mc Ferrin singing."

"text": "How Did Bob Marley Die? Was It A Natural Death Or Not? Posted by Addam Corre on 7 Oct, 2013The answer to the question “how did Bob Marley die” is not as simple and straightforward as it may appear at first glance. As frequently happens in the years following the death of a high profile celebrity or politician, the question of how or why they died is disputed. Sometimes the questions are extended to speculating if the person is actually dead at all! So called “conspiracy theories” can always be found somewhere on the internet. Bob Marley was born in 1945 in Jamaica; he died aged 36, in Miami, Florida. He was a popular singer-songwriter of Reggae style music and was very successful in the 1960’s and 1970’s. He was also extremely active in other spheres of his life. According to his official website he claimed to have fathered or adopted 11 children: five from his wife and the remainder from a series of affairs with other women."

Marley refused amputation, citing worries that the operation would affect his dancing, as well as the Rastafari belief that the body must be \"\"whole\"\": “ Rasta no abide amputation. I don't allow a man to be dismantled. ” — From the biography Catch a Fire Marley may have seen medical doctors as samfai. True to this belief Marley went against all surgical possibilities and sought out other means that would not break his religious beliefs. He also refused to register a will, based on the Rastafari belief that writing one acknowledged death as inevitable and disregarded the everlasting character of life."

When it comes down to it, however, those tales aren't exactly the way we'd like our own romantic lives to progress. What a relief, then, that there are also a handful of couples on our favorite TV shows that demonstrate what healthy, uncursed relationships look like. Some of these pairs fell in love in high school — or even earlier (Hi, Cory and Topanga!) — and as young viewers, we too thought there would be a chance of meeting our one and only before college.

In mid-1971, Gaye returned to the charts with the What's Going On album, which redefined his career and direction. Due to this, Gordy again approached him on doing a duet album with Ross. Though Gaye had insisted he wouldn't record any more duet albums, he later wrote that he felt the move to do a duet album with Ross would increase his popularity and confirmed that he was indeed what the media had labeled him around this time: \"\"the prince of Motown \"\". [ 9] Gaye then agreed, with Ross joining him in sessions."

"text": "\"Psychotherapy with the Dying Person Joseph Culkin\"\" There are no inflexible rules that do not contradict the principle that dying is an individual matter, and therefore should be individualized. Management is most appropriate when the therapist at the outset projects his imagination into the future toward the \"\"Omega Point\"\" and considers when, where, how, and with whom this inexorable death ought to occur .\"\" A. D. Weisman (1)INTRODUCTIONPsychotherapy with dying patients shares many features with all other psychotherapy. However, the unique status of the dying person presents special problems for the mental health professional. Clearly, everyone will die, and in this sense all therapy is done with patients of a limited life span. The labeling of a person as a \"\"dying patient\"\", identifies that person as belonging to a special category of humanity, and creates profound changes in the emotional, social, and spiritual climate of therapy. The dying person is one who is seen to be in a life-threatening condition with relatively little remaining time rind little or no hope of recovery. This unique existential position of the dying person necessitates some adaptations of the typical psychotherapeutic attitudes and strategies. The goals, structure, and process of therapy must change to meet the special needs and circumstances of the dying patient. How does therapy with a dying person differ from \"\"typical\"\" therapy?"

The painter, who became famous for his \"\"Joy of Painting\"\" show on PBS had a halo of curly hair to match his angelic voice, but we now know that it was a perm that gave him the signature look. If upon reading this news you feel your life has been a lie, you are not alone. Millennials in particular include Ross on their list of great American heroes, but they now report having trust issues. Some preferred Ross' straight hair. Before you turn your back on Ross and turn off your \"\"Joy of Painting\"\" marathon on Netflix, read the humbling tale of how the beloved painter's hair came to be. Ross permed his hair as a cost-saving measure and like many who opted for faux curls in the 80s, he later ended up hating it. See, Bob Ross really is all of us. According to his longtime business partner, Annette Kowalski, the perm was born during Ross' early years as a struggling painter."

"text": "Science & Mathematics Chemistry What did Bohr discover? Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Niels Bohr put forward his picture of the atom in 1913. He used Max Plank's quantum theory and suggested that electrons can have only certain amounts of energy, and their orbit can have onlt certain radii and that the electrons which absorb photons move to higher orbits. He also assigned quantum numbers too the orbits. Paciência · 10 years ago1 0 Comment Asker's rating Bohr's model was the first to incorporate quantum theory, and hypothesized that since electrons can only have finite, discrete energy states, they only inhabit fixed distances from the nucleus. These distances were arranged into energy levels. This was proven by Rutherford's gold foil experiment, which showed the atom consisted of mostly empty space. Previous models proposed clouds of electrons scattered anywhere around the nucleus. Turns out all of them were not right but not completely wrong either :)virgo47tp · 10 years ago1 0 Comment (Niels) Bohr developed the theory that electrons travel in discrete orbits around the atom's nucleus, in specific shells.

"text": "\" (� Ellen Martorelli/Stone Images)A n informed list of the most profound scientific developments of the 20th century is likely to include general relativity, quantum mechanics, big bang cosmology, the unraveling of the genetic code, evolutionary biology, and perhaps a few other topics of the reader's choice. Among these, quantum mechanics is unique because of its profoundly radical quality. Quantum mechanics forced physicists to reshape their ideas of reality, to rethink the nature of things at the deepest level, and to revise their concepts of position and speed, as well as their notions of cause and effect. Although quantum mechanics was created to describe an abstract atomic world far removed from daily experience, its impact on our daily lives could hardly be greater. The spectacular advances in chemistry, biology, and medicine—and in essentially every other science—could not have occurred without the tools that quantum mechanics made possible. Without quantum mechanics there would be no global economy to speak of, because the electronics revolution that brought us the computer age is a child of quantum mechanics. So is the photonics revolution that brought us the Information Age. The creation of quantum physics has transformed our world, bringing with it all the benefits—and the risks—of a scientific revolution. Unlike general relativity, which grew out of a brilliant insight into the connection between gravity and geometry, or the deciphering of DNA, which unveiled a new world of biology, quantum mechanics did not spring from a single step. Rather, it was created in one of those rare concentrations of genius that occur from time to time in history."

Despite being one of the most brilliant men of the 20th century, Einstein appeared approachable, partly because he always had uncombed hair, disheveled clothing, and a lack of socks.

"text": "6.3: Line Spectra and the Bohr Model Last updated December 3, 2016 11:26:50 AM PST Share Table of contents Skills to Develop To know the relationship between atomic spectra and the electronic structure of atoms. The photoelectric effect provided indisputable evidence for the existence of the photon and thus the particle-like behavior of electromagnetic radiation. The concept of the photon, however, emerged from experimentation with thermal radiation, electromagnetic radiation emitted as the result of a source’s temperature, which produces a continuous spectrum of energies. More direct evidence was needed to verify the quantized nature of electromagnetic radiation. In this section, we describe how experimentation with visible light provided this evidence. Line Spectra Although objects at high temperature emit a continuous spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, a different kind of spectrum is observed when pure samples of individual elements are heated. For example, when a high-voltage electrical discharge is passed through a sample of hydrogen gas at low pressure, the resulting individual isolated hydrogen atoms caused by the dissociation of H 2 emit a red light. Unlike blackbody radiation, the color of the light emitted by the hydrogen atoms does not depend greatly on the temperature of the gas in the tube. When the emitted light is passed through a prism, only a few narrow lines, called a line spectrum, which is a spectrum in which light of only a certain wavelength is emitted or absorbed, rather than a continuous range of wavelengths (Figure ), rather than a continuous range of colors. The light emitted by hydrogen atoms is red because, of its four characteristic lines, the most intense line in its spectrum is in the red portion of the visible spectrum, at 656 nm."

"text": "Subatomic Particles In the 1800s scientists were experimenting with electricity in glass tubes that contained a near vacuum. With a near vacuum there should have been almost no matter left in the tube, but it was found that hooking this tube to a battery caused a ray to travel from the cathode (negative) end of the tube to the other side. It was found that these cathode rays were deflected away from the negative end of a magnet (notice the downward deflection of the cathode ray), and deflected towards the positive end of a magnet. This indicates that whatever particle is making up the cathode ray has a negative charge. Cathode ray tubes, or CRTs, have been used in TVs and computer monitor screens. As the particles that make up a cathode ray seemed to come from electricity, they were given a name with the same root meaning - electrons. J. J. Thomson (1856-1940) found that electrons existed in all matter and were much, much smaller than an atom. In 1897 Thomson used a specially made cathode ray tube and the laws of electricity and magnetism to determine the ratio of the mass to charge of an electron: 5.60 × 10 -9 grams per coulomb (g/C). Robert Millikan (1868-1953) built upon Thomson’s work and was able to calculate the amount of charge on electrons, using the now-famous Oil Drop Experiment. Dr. Amar from the University of Maine has created a great Webpage that has a video showing the basic parts of Millikan’s experiment and also discusses the calculations that Millikan used to find the value of the elementary charge, in coulombs."

"text": "\"ATOMSCONCEPTOur world is made up of atoms, yet the atomic model of the universe is nonetheless considered a \"\"theory.\"\" When scientists know beyond all reasonable doubt that a particular principle is the case, then it is dubbed a law. Laws address the fact that certain things happen, as well as how they happen. A theory, on the other hand, attempts to explain why things happen. By definition, an idea that is dubbed a theory has yet to be fully proven, and such is the case with the atomic theory of matter. After all, the atom cannot be seen, even with electron microscopes — yet its behavior can be studied in terms of its effects. Atomic theory explains a great deal about the universe, including the relationship between chemical elements, and therefore (as with Darwin's theory concerning biological evolution), it is generally accepted as fact. The particulars of this theory, including the means by which it evolved over the centuries, are as dramatic as any detective story. Nonetheless, much still remains to be explained about the atom — particularly with regard to the smallest items it contains. HOW IT WORKSWhy Study Atoms?"

"text": "\"1 From orbits to orbitals About ten years after Bohr had developed his theory, de Broglie showed that the electron should have wavelike properties of its own, thus making the analogy with the mechanical theory of standing waves somewhat less artificial. One serious difficulty with the Bohr model still remained, however: it was unable to explain the spectrum of any atom more complicated than hydrogen. A refinement suggested by Sommerfeld assumed that some of the orbits are elliptical instead of circular, and invoked a second quantum number, l, that indicated the degree of ellipticity. This concept proved useful, and it also began to offer some correlation with the placement of the elements in the periodic table. The Schrödinger equation By 1926, de Broglie's theory of the wave nature of the electron had been experimentally confirmed, and the stage was set for its extension to all matter. At about the same time, three apparently very different theories that attempted to treat matter in general terms were developed. These were Schrödinger's wave mechanics, Heisenberg's matrix mechanics, and a more abstract theory of P. A. M. Dirac. These eventually were seen to be mathematically equivalent, and all continue to be useful. Of these alternative treatments, the one developed by Schrödinger is the most easily visualized. Schrödinger started with the simple requirement that the total energy of the electron is the sum of its kinetic and potential energies: The second term represents the potential energy of an electron (whose charge is denoted by e) at a distance r from a proton (the nucleus of the hydrogen atom)."

"text": "▼ Primary Sources ▼The Atom Bomb Just before the First World War two German scientists, James Franck and Gustav Hertz carried out experiments where they bombarded mercury atoms with electrons and traced the energy changes that resulted from the collisions. Their experiments helped to substantiate the theory put forward by Nils Bohr that an atom can absorb internal energy only in precise and definite amounts. In 1921 two Otto Hahn and Lise Meitner, discovered nuclear isomers. Over the next few years they devoted their time to researching the application of radioactive methods to chemical problems. In the 1930s they became interested in the research being carried out by Enrico Fermi and Emilio Segre at the University of Rome. This included experiments where elements such as uranium were bombarded with neutrons. By 1935 the two men had discovered slow neutrons, which have properties important to the operation of nuclear reactors. Otto Hahn and Lise Meitner were now joined by Fritz Strassmann and discovered that uranium nuclei split when bombarded with neutrons. In 1938 Meitner, like other Jews in Nazi Germany, was dismissed from her university post. She moved to Sweden and later that year she wrote a paper on nuclear fission with her nephew, Otto Frisch, where they argued that by splitting the atom it was possible to use a few pounds of uranium to create the explosive and destructive power of many thousands of pounds of dynamite."

He was the first to apply the quantum concept, which restricts the energy of a system to certain discrete values, to the problem of atomic and molecular structure. For that work he received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922. His manifold roles in the origins and development of quantum physics may be his most-important contribution, but through his long career his involvements were substantially broader, both inside and outside the world of physics. Early life Bohr was the second of three children born into an upper middle-class Copenhagen family. His mother, Ellen (née Adler), was the daughter of a prominent Jewish banker. His father, Christian, became a professor of physiology at the University of Copenhagen and was nominated twice for the Nobel Prize. Enrolling at the University of Copenhagen in 1903, Bohr was never in doubt that he would study physics. Research and teaching in that field took place in cramped quarters at the Polytechnic Institute, leased to the University for the purpose. Bohr obtained his doctorate in 1911 with a dissertation on the electron theory of metals."

It holds that objects have certain pairs of complementary properties which cannot all be observed or measured simultaneously. The complementarity principle was formulated by Niels Bohr, a leading founder of quantum mechanics.

Both concepts are borrowed from classical mechanics, where it is impossible to be a particle and wave at the same time. Therefore, it is impossible to measure the full properties of the wave and particle at a particular moment. [ 6] Moreover, Bohr implies that it is not possible to regard objects governed by quantum mechanics as having intrinsic properties independent of determination with a measuring device, a viewpoint supported by the Kochen-Specker theorem. The type of measurement determines which property is shown. However the single and double-slit experiment and other experiments show that some effects of wave and particle can be measured in one measurement. [ 7]Nature [ edit]An aspect of complementarity is that it not only applies to measurability or knowability of some property of a physical entity, but more importantly it applies to the limitations of that physical entity’s very manifestation of the property in the physical world."

Bohr was also a philosopher and a promoter of scientific research. Bohr developed the Bohr model of the atom, in which he proposed that energy levels of electrons are discrete and that the electrons revolve in stable orbits around the atomic nucleus but can jump from one energy level (or orbit) to another. Although the Bohr model has been supplanted by other models, its underlying principles remain valid. He conceived the principle of complementarity: that items could be separately analysed in terms of contradictory properties, like behaving as a wave or a stream of particles. The notion of complementarity dominated Bohr's thinking in both science and philosophy. Bohr founded the Institute of Theoretical Physics at the University of Copenhagen, now known as the Niels Bohr Institute, which opened in 1920. Bohr mentored and collaborated with physicists including Hans Kramers, Oskar Klein, George de Hevesy, and Werner Heisenberg. He predicted the existence of a new zirconium -like element, which was named hafnium, after the Latin name for Copenhagen, where it was discovered."

"text": "A theory of the structure and behavior of atoms has taken more than two millenia to evolve, from the abstract musings of ancient Greek philosophers to the high-tech experiments of modern scientists. However, prior to the scientific revolution and the development of the scientific method starting in the 16th century, ideas about the atom were mainly speculative. It wasn't until the very end of the 19th century that technology became advanced enough to allow scientists a glimpse of the atom's constituent parts: the electron, nucleus, proton, and neutron. Greek Origins The idea that all matter is made up of tiny, indivisible particles, or atoms, is believed to have originated with the Greek philosopher Leucippus of Miletus and his student Democritus of Abdera in the 5th century B. C. (The word atom comes from the Greek word atomos, which means “indivisible.”) These thinkers held that, in addition to being too small to be seen, unchangeable, and indestructible, atoms were also completely solid, with no internal structure, and came in an infinite variety of shapes and sizes, which accounted for the different kinds of matter. Color, taste, and other intangible qualities were also thought to be composed of atoms. While the idea of the atom was supported by some later Greek philosophers, it was fiercely attacked by others, including Aristotle, who argued against the existence of such particles. During the Middle Ages in Europe, Roman Catholic theologians were heavily influenced by Aristotle's ideas, and so atomic philosophy was largely dismissed for centuries. However, the Greeks' conception of the atom survived, both in Aristotle's works (his arguments against) and in another classical work by the Roman author Lucretius, De rerum natura (“On the Nature of Things”), which was rediscovered in Europe at the start of the Renaissance. Modern Development Modern atomic theory is generally said to begin with John Dalton, an English chemist and meteorologist who in 1808 published a book on the atmosphere and the behavior of gases that was entitled A New System of Chemical Philosophy."

"text": "Atomic Orbits The nature of atoms and the manner in which electrons interact and move about their nucleus has puzzled scientists for a long time. What ought to be a simple orbit of electrons around a nucleus has been complicated by the fact that electrons appear to group themselves at certain fixed altitudes, while occasionally radiating light at particular frequencies. Various models of the atom have been forwarded in an attempt to explain the anomalies. They range from simple planetary models, to standing particle-waves, to probability distribution functions whose precise physical nature confounds the imagination. In earlier chapters we studied the nature of the electromagnetic force in much detail and discovered that this force has unexpected properties when charged particles are in motion. These include properties such as a ‘sideways force’ which moves particles non-directly. Could the proposed modifications to Coulomb’s force law provide any insight to the behaviour of atoms? Here we investigate that possibility. The Rutherford model A brief history lesson is appropriate. In 1911 Ernest Rutherford studied experiments involving bombarding atoms with alpha-beams."

As long ago as 1885, Balmer succeeded in obtaining a simple relationship among the wave numbers of the lines in the visible region of the hydrogen spectrum. The first quantitative correct derivation of the Balmer formula on the basis of an atomic model was given by Bohr (1913), in his theory of the hydrogen atom. Those theory has played such an important role in the development of atomic physics that even though it has been modified and extended by the later developments in quantum mechanics, it will be worthwhile to present the original simplified theory. In 1913, Niels Bohr proposed a model for the hydrogen atom which retained the earlier nuclear model of Rutherford but made further stipulations as to the behavior of the electron.

Foundations of Physics Vol 18, 1233, (1988)Abstract It is argued that language plays an active role in the development of scientific ideas. A research project is outlined which will investigate this hypothesis and, in addition, focus on such questions as the role of mathematics in science and the status of the genetic code. \"\" Nothing is more usual than for philosophers to encroach on the province of grammarians, and to engage in disputes of words, while they imagine they are handling controversies of the deepest importance and concern.\"\" David Hume Introduction In essays and lectures Neils Bohr was constantly emphasizing the role played by language in science and in our understanding of nature. Scientific investigations, Bohr pointed out, are not exclusively formal, mathematical affairs for they also involve informal discussions in which key concepts are explored and understood. In Bohr's words, \"\"We are suspended in language in such a way that we cannot say what is up and what is down\"\" 1. In the case of quantum theory his views on language formed an essential component of the Copenhagen Interpretation \"\" ...the unambiguous interpretation of any measurement must be essentially framed in terms of the classical physical theories, and we may say that in this sense the language of Newton and Maxwell will remain the language of physicists for all time.\"\" 1More recently David Bohm has made a thoroughgoing analysis of the role of language in science and in thought. Writing with one of us he has also explored how particular world views are enfolded within the ways scientists use language and shown how fixed forms and the insensitive use of language can lead to blocks in scientific creativity."

While seemingly apropos, around the turn of the 20th century, through various experiments with electromagnetism and radioactivity, physicists discovered that the so-called \"\"uncuttable atom\"\" was actually a conglomerate of various subatomic particles (chiefly, electrons, protons and neutrons) which can exist separately from each other. In fact, in certain extreme environments, such as neutron stars, extreme temperature and pressure prevents atoms from existing at all."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The shapes of the first five atomic orbitals are: 1s, 2s, 2p x, 2p y, and 2p z. The two colors show the phase or sign of the wave function in each region. These are graphs of ψ ( x , y , z) functions which depend on the coordinates of one electron. To see the elongated shape of ψ ( x , y , z) 2 functions that show probability density more directly, see the graphs of d-orbitals below. In quantum mechanics, an atomic orbital is a mathematical function that describes the wave-like behavior of either one electron or a pair of electrons in an atom. [ 1] This function can be used to calculate the probability of finding any electron of an atom in any specific region around the atom's nucleus. The term atomic orbital may also refer to the physical region or space where the electron can be calculated to be present, as defined by the particular mathematical form of the orbital. [ 2]Each orbital in an atom is characterized by a unique set of values of the three quantum numbers n, ℓ, and m, which respectively correspond to the electron's energy, angular momentum, and an angular momentum vector component (the magnetic quantum number ). Each such orbital can be occupied by a maximum of two electrons, each with its own spin quantum number s. The simple names s orbital, p orbital, d orbital and f orbital refer to orbitals with angular momentum quantum number ℓ = 0, 1, 2 and 3 respectively. These names, together with the value of n, are used to describe the electron configurations of atoms. They are derived from the description by early spectroscopists of certain series of alkali metal spectroscopic lines as s harp, p rincipal, d iffuse, and f undamental."

These are the notes (and diagrams) I use when I teach the atomic nature of matter to non-science majors. The best thing about this story is that it is a great example of science. Science (or scientists) build a model. If new evidence comes along, the model gets changed. There are several other websites that describe all of this stuff, I will list a couple at the end of this post. Typical textbook model of an atom Look in an intro, non-science majors textbook and you will probably see a picture like this of the atom. This model has some good ideas in it, but overall it has some problems. The key (and not incorrect points) of this model are: The atom is made of protons, neutrons and electrons Most of the space is taken up by the area where the electrons exist The protons and neutrons are in the core of the atom – called the nucleus Greek Model of the Atom It always has to go back to the Greeks, doesn’t it?"

"text": "\"1 Models of the atom Michael Fowler (U. Virginia) has a series of Models of the Atom pages which describe the historical development of atomic theory in much more detail than is done here. Models are widely employed in science to help understand things that cannot be viewed directly. The idea is to imagine a simplified system or process that might be expected to exhibit the basic properties or behavior of the real thing, and then to test this model against more complicated examples and modify it as necessary. Although one is always on shaky philosophical ground in trying to equate a model with reality, there comes a point when the difference between them becomes insignificant for most practical purposes. The planetery model of the atom The demonstration by Thompson in 1867 that all atoms contain units of negative electric charge led to the first science-based model of the atom which envisaged the electrons being spread out uniformly throughout the spherical volume of the atom. Ernest Rutherford, a New Zealander who started out as Thompson's student at Cambridge, distrusted this \"\"plum pudding\"\" model (as he called it) and soon put it to rest; Rutherford's famous alpha-ray bombardment experiment (carried out, in 1909, by his students Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden) showed that nearly all the mass of the atom is concentrated in an extremely small (and thus extremely dense) body called the nucleus. This led him to suggest the planetary model of the atom, in which the electrons revolve in orbits around the nuclear \"\"sun\"\". Even though the planetary model has long since been discredited, it seems to have found a permanent place in popular depictions of the atom, and certain aspects of it remain useful in describing and classifying atomic structure and behavior. The planetary model of the atom assumed that the electrostatic attraction between the central nucleus and the electron is exactly balanced by the centrifugal force created by the revolution of the electron in its orbit. If this balance were not present, the electron would either fall into the nucleus, or it would be flung out of the atom."

The Meeting of Antony and Cleopatra, by Lawrence Alma-Tadema, 1884Antony and Cleopatra is a tragedy by William Shakespeare. The play was performed first circa 1607 at the Blackfriars Theatre or the Globe Theatre by the King's Men. [ 1] [2] Its first appearance in print was in the Folio of 1623. The plot is based on Thomas North 's translation of Plutarch 's Lives and follows the relationship between Cleopatra and Mark Antony from the time of the Sicilian revolt to Cleopatra's suicide during the Final War of the Roman Republic. The major antagonist is Octavius Caesar, one of Antony's fellow triumvirs of the Second Triumvirate and the first emperor of the Roman Empire. The tragedy is mainly set in Rome and Egypt and is characterized by swift shifts in geographical location and linguistic register as it alternates between sensual, imaginative Alexandria and a more pragmatic, austere Rome. Many consider Shakespeare's Cleopatra, whom Enobarbus describes as having \"\"infinite variety\"\", as one of the most complex and fully developed female characters in the playwright's body of work. [ 3]: p.45 She is frequently vain and histrionic enough to provoke an audience almost to scorn; at the same time, Shakespeare invests her and Antony with tragic grandeur. These contradictory features have led to famously divided critical responses. ["

He is also known as a notable author of Latin prose. In 60 BC, Caesar, Crassus and Pompey formed a political alliance that dominated Roman politics for several years. Their attempts to amass power as Populares were opposed by the Optimates within the Roman Senate, among them Cato the Younger with the frequent support of Cicero.

"text": "\"▼ Primary Sources ▼Mark Antony Marcus Antonius (Mark Antony) was born in Rome in 83 B. C. He was related on his mother's side to Julius Caesar. He was from a prominent noble family and served under Caesar in Gaul (53-50 B. C.). Mark Antony went to Rome to become tribune of the plebs in 49 B. C. He was expelled from the senate and fled back to the Roman Army. The following year he led the left-wing of Caesar's army at Pharsalia. After defeating Pompey, he was left to govern Italy during Caesar's absence in Africa. When Julius Caesar returned to Rome he appointed 300 of his supporters as members of the Senate. Although the Senate and Public Assembly still met, it was Caesar who now made all the important decisions. By 44 BC Caesar was powerful enough to declare himself dictator for life. Although in the past Roman leaders had become dictators in times of crisis, no one had taken this much power. Caesar began wearing long red boots."

She was also a diplomat, naval commander, administrator, linguist, [note 4] and medical author. [ 6] As a member of the Ptolemaic dynasty, she was a descendant of its founder Ptolemy I Soter, a Macedonian Greek general and companion of Alexander the Great. After the death of Cleopatra, Egypt became a province of the Roman Empire, marking the end of the Hellenistic period that had lasted since the reign of Alexander (336–323 BC). [ note 5]In 58 BC Cleopatra presumably accompanied her father Ptolemy XII during his exile to Rome, after a revolt in Egypt allowed his eldest daughter Berenice IV to claim the throne. The latter was killed in 55 BC when Ptolemy XII returned to Egypt with Roman military assistance. When Ptolemy XII died in 51 BC, Cleopatra and her younger brother Ptolemy XIII acceded to the throne as joint rulers, but a fallout between them led to open civil war. After losing the 48 BC Battle of Pharsalus in Greece against his rival Julius Caesar in Caesar's Civil War, the Roman statesman Pompey the Great fled to Egypt, a Roman client state."

It’s a treat to hear John Gielgud deliver these lines in the 1953 film directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz. But Louis Calhern was simply not virile enough to be convincing as Caesar. And the costumes by Herschel Ferry (any relation, I wonder?) were a hit and miss affair. The 1953 version: Caesar (Louis Calhern) appears to be wearing a bedsheet."

"text": "JULIUS CAESAR: HISTORICAL BACKGROUND102/100 BCE: Gaius Julius Caesar was born (by Caesarean section according to an unlikely legend) of Aurelia and Gaius Julius Caesar, a praetor. His family had noble, patrician roots, although they were neither rich nor influential in this period. His aunt Julia was the wife of Gaius Marius, leader of the Popular faction.c. 85 BCE: His father died, and a few years later he was betrothed and possibly married to a wealthy young woman, Cossutia. This betrothal/marriage was soon broken off, and at age 18 he married Cornelia, the daughter of a prominent member of the Popular faction; she later bore him his only legitimate child, a daughter, Julia. When the Optimate dictator, Sulla, was in power, he ordered Caesar to divorce her; when Caesar refused, Sulla proscribed him (listed him among those to be executed), and Caesar went into hiding. Caesar's influential friends and relatives eventually got him a pardon.c. 79 BCE: Caesar, on the staff of a military legate, was awarded the civic crown (oak leaves) for saving the life of a citizen in battle. His general sent him on an embassy to Nicomedes, the king of Bithynia, to obtain a fleet of ships; Caesar was successful, but subsequently he became the butt of gossip that he had persuaded the king (a homosexual) only by agreeing to sleep with him. When Sulla died in 78, Caesar returned to Rome and began a career as a orator/lawyer (throughout his life he was known as an eloquent speaker) and a life as an elegant man-about-town.75 BCE: While sailing to Greece for further study, Caesar was kidnapped by Cilician pirates and held for ransom."

"text": "\"The city's life is for sale, and it would kill itself if it could find a buyer — Jugurtha of Numidia Pattern of decline Rome's failure to adapt its city-state style government to ruling an empire triggered a century long pattern of events that would eventually lead to fall of the old oligarchy led by the Senate. Either out of genuine concern for reform, desire for personal gain and glory, or a combination of the two, an individual politician or general would introduce new, but also disruptive practices. These would weaken Roman customs, traditions, and institutions, especially the Senate. That would create the need and open the way for new figures to rise up that would introduce even more disruptive practices, and so on. Thus the cycle would keep repeating until the old order was destroyed. There were five main figures this process brought to the forefront of Roman politics and who in turn perpetuated the cycle, allowing the rise of the next figure: Tiberius Gracchus, Gaius Gracchus, Marius, Sulla, and Julius Caesar. Not until Caesar's nephew and heir, Octavian, seized power would the cycle be broken and a new more stable order established in place of senatorial rule. First attempts at reform: the Gracchi In 133 B. C. E., Tiberius Gracchus became tribune. He saw that many of Rome's troubles revolved around the decline of the free peasantry who were flocking into the cities. Therefore, he proposed a bill to give land to the idle mob and re-establish them on their own farms."

The children of Israel became slaves in Egypt because of their sins. But where sin abounded, the grace of God \"\"did much more abound.\"\" God gave Israel a new covenant.

Please support ABR!This article was first published in the Winter 2006 issue of Bible and Spade. Introduction It may come as a surprise to many students of the Bible that in the original Hebrew text the body of water the Israelites crossed when leaving Egypt is called yam suph, “Sea of Reeds,” not Red Sea (Ex 15:4, 22; Dt 11:4; Jos 2:10; 4:23; 24:6; Neh 9:9; Ps 106:7, 9, 33; 136:13, 15). Unfortunately, yam suph has been rendered “Red Sea” in nearly all of our translations, the Jerusalem Bible and the New Jewish Publication Society Hebrew Bible being notable exceptions. The “Red Sea” phrase came into the account with the third century BC translation of the Old Testament into Greek. Called the Septuagint (abbreviated as LXX), its translators made yam suph (“Sea of Reeds”) into eruthrá thálassē (“Red Sea”). The Latin Vulgate followed their lead with mari Rubro (“Red Sea”) and most English versions continued that tradition."

Shem was to be the father of the Semitic line of descent, which included the Jews, as well as Syrians and Arameans, among others.

"text": "‘Palestine’ is an ancient name, for a land of many cultures Israel/Palestine Martin Hughes on June 22, 2013 135 Comments Adjust Font Size What was the Palestine of today called before Roman times? It was called ‘Palestine’, which was by no means a transient name, being witnessed from around 1175 BCE and often thereafter. There are certainly other names for parts of Palestine and for the wider region to which Palestine belonged and there are yet other names placed on ‘utopian maps’ which describe what should be rather than what is. Of course all the famous Biblical names, very much including ‘Israel’, play a part in the story of this region. What study of these names, perhaps especially of ‘Israel’, reveals is very interesting. What we perceive is a territory, properly called ‘ancient Palestine’, that had been somewhat multicultural for as long as memory could extend. FIRST PHASE: ISRAEL, CANAAN, PALESTINEThe oldest pattern of Holy Land names comes from before 800 BCE, i.e. before names began to reflect the ideas of the Neo-Assyrian empire. The name ‘Israel’ occurs in the famous Stela (inscribed stone) of the Egyptian King Merneptah, which is often dated to 1205 BCE. ‘ Israel’ appears as one of many groups in the area concerned. It’s striking that these groups overlap in culture – there are no great differences in their appearance – and that they are all targets of Egyptian displeasure."

"text": "\"Who were the Rephaim? Subscribe to our Question of the Week: Question: \"\"Who were the Rephaim?\"\" Answer: There are several passages in the Old Testament that speak of the Rephaim (or Rephaites), and the context describes them as giants. The name of these people literally means “terrible ones.” The Hebrew word Rephaim has two distinct meanings: first, in poetic literature it refers to departed spirits whose dwelling place was Sheol. It is a figurative description of the dead, similar to our concept of a ghost. The second meaning of Rephaim is “a mighty people with tall stature who lived in Canaan.” The word doesn’t seem to be ethno-centric like “Jew” or “Egyptian” but is more of a descriptive term. This second meaning will be the focus of this article. The first reference to the Rephaim is Genesis 14:5, when the Rephaim, Zuzim and Emim people were defeated in a battle with Kedorlaomer and his allies."

Psalm 105:23). They probably gave rise to the oriental people of the Far East and the First Nations of the Americas through the Sinites subgroup of the Canaanites. The descendants of Ham could have also included the Pacific Islanders and Dravidian people of the Indian subcontinent. This was made clearer to me in 2009 when I saw a Indian Dravidian woman in my home town near Toronto, Ontario. She had dark skin and straight black hair and her face was and other appearance was at least somewhat like the Negros of East Africa that also not only have dark skin but straight hair. The descendants of Ham were characterized by interest and ability in agriculture and trading or commerce. Cush, that is the name of one of the sons of Ham, is the Hebrew word for Ethiopia and in New Testament times the people of Ethiopia were called Chusites from the word Cush. One early very significant person or persons descended from Cush was his son Nimrod and wife Semiramis. Nimrod led the effort to build the tower of Babel and from secular sources we know Nimrod and his wife invented post-flood astrology and astronomy which was profoundly intertwined with astrology until the 16th century scientific renaissance in Europe and idolatry especially the \"\"mother goddess\"\" and the mother-child cult."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Travel & Places Countries, States, and Cities Israel Where was ancient Israel located? Flag Where was ancient Israel located? Expert answer by Dick Harfield Confidence votes 42.4KThe land of the Hebrew people consisted of two kingdoms - the southern kingdom was called Judah and the northern kingdom of Israel. The Bible says that the two kingdoms were united under David and Solomon during the tenth century BCE, but some archaeologists and many historians believe that there never was a United Kingdom. Judah occupied the more arid mountainous hinterland of modern-day Israel surrounding Jerusalem and extending from about the northern end of the Dead Sea to beyond its southern tip. Israel occupied the mountainous hinterland north of Judah, as well as the fertile Jezreel Valley. These areas roughly correspond to the modern West Bank territory. To the west lay the lands of the Philistines and Canaanites. According to biblical tradition, the Israelites occupied Israel about 1440 BCE, but most scholars say that the land remained almost unoccupied until around 1250 BCE, when there was an influx of people believed to be the Hebrews. There was a brief period of expansion, when Israel captured many of the coastal cities and even occupied parts of modern-day Syria."

Hey, in the Bible you can go for beer and hard lliquor, too... The first thing that righteous Noah did after landing off the ark was to plant a vineyard and make wine and get drunk. He got naked in his tent with his grandson Canaan… Poor kid… He turned out to be a disappointment to his grandpa Noah so he cursed the daylights out of him… And it is funny because God promised NEVER to curse the Earth again, and the first thing that Noah does is to curse his grandchild Canaan! God honored Noah's curse throughout Bible history! Noah was a RIGHTEOUS MAN, the Bible says! Incest was the order of the day LONG AFTER THE FLOOD.... Abraham's wife Sarah was his own sister!!! RIGHTEOUS LOT got real drunk, too and had sex with his OWN young virgin daughters until he got them pregnant... God must have watched him perform in bed because he granted him the title of a RIGHTEOUS MAN THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE... Old and New Testaments!!! So Christians are making a big deal out of nothing... like hating gays, equal sex marriage, and so on... The Bible favors drinking over abstinence... God is going to serve refined wine in the Afterlife… Jesus was very fond of drinking... he was accused of being a wine bibber and a friend of wine bibbers... By the way, his first recorded miracle was to transform water into wine… There is a message encoded here if you care about priorities! A good shot of corn whiskey is prescribed BY GOD’S HOLY LAW as part of worship in his HOLY TEMPLE!!!"

And of course it just sat there going nowhere. When a train derails off the path it was made to follow, it simply sits there and it's one big mess. Well, in the beginning of time, God laid a track, or a path, for his creation to follow and this path led toward a grand and glorious destiny for God's creation. But time and again, human beings have failed to follow God's path for his creation. We have derailed the world and ended up with one big mess. In this series of lessons, we will be learning about the path that God laid down for his creation in the earliest years of world history — what we often call in Christian circles \"\"creation ordinances.\"\" And we will be exploring Genesis 1–11, often known as The Primeval History."

Hocking, Senior Pastor of Calvary Church of Santa Ana, California, Multnomah Press, 1987. Preface Since May 14, 1948, when the Israelis reclaimed the land God promised to them, there has been continued conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians over the land. This conflict has involved all of the Islamic nations in the Middle East, many nations around the world, and especially the United States of America. A study of the Bible clearly indicates that the Promised Land was given to only the Israelis (Jews), not to the people now known as Palestinians. The first description of the Promised Land is made in Genesis 15:18-21, as “ this land, from the river of Egypt, to the great river, the Euphrates—the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites. ” It is a piece of property that God often referred to as the “land of Canaan,” and its dimensions are best depicted in Numbers 34:1-12, as follows: Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Command the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you as an inheritance-the land of Canaan to its boundaries. Your southern border shall be from the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom; then your southern border shall extend eastward to the end of the Salt Sea; your border shall turn from the southern side of the Ascent of Akrabbim, continue to Zin, and be on the south of Kadesh Barnea; then it shall go on to Hazar Addar, and continue to Azmon; the border shall turn from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, and it shall end at the Sea. As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea for a border; this shall be your western border. And this shall be your northern border: From the Great Sea you shall mark out your border line to Mount Hor; from Mount Hor you shall mark out your border to the entrance of Hamath; then the direction of the border shall be toward Zedad; the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and it shall end at Hazar Enan."

The Curse of Ham By Tony Evans | January 18, 2010Because Ham was the father of black people, and because he and his descendants were cursed to be slaves because of his sin against Noah, some Christians said, \"\"Africans and their descendants are destined to be servants, and should accept their status as slaves in fulfillment of biblical prophecy.\"\" ( 4)Now there existed a myth of inferiority with apparent biblical roots. This theological basis provided the raw material necessary to convince the slaves that to resist their assigned inferior status was to resist the will of God. This myth became an authoritative myth because it was rooted in theology, and slave owners used this twisted theology to sustain a perverted sociology. This process is known as sacralization, the development of theological and religious beliefs to serve the interest of a particular ethnic or racial group. I knew that something did not sound right about the curse of Ham theory when I first heard it as a teenager. A white minister was giving me the biblical reason why my people and I had to endure the humiliation of American racism. Because I couldn't prove otherwise and because my favorite Bible, the famous Old Scofield Reference Bible (5), which had become the official version of American fundamentalism, endorsed the curse of Ham theory, I had little recourse other than to accept it. After all, those promoting it were \"\"trained\"\" in the Bible and theology at the finest fundamentalist institutions in our country-institutions, by the way, that at that time would not allow blacks to enroll as students."

The Greenies are a diverse group of kids who are mesmerized by all that the arts and creativity has to offer. Over the course of the season, with Ms. Julie’s guidance and inspiration from the visiting guest artists, the kids create an entirely original new show, that is a mashup of all the performing arts including mime, music, dance, improv, circus arts, voice and more. Most episodes will feature an original song and every episode will feature a guest star who engages the kids in a specific area of the performing arts. The incredible array of confirmed guest stars will include Alec Baldwin, Sara Bareilles, Joshua Bell, Tituss Burgess, Carol Burnett, Chris Colfer, Robert Fairchild, Josh Groban, David Hyde Pierce, Bill Erwin, Ellie Kemper, Idina Menzel, Tiler Peck, and Stomp. Ms. Andrews commented that “this project represents the fulfilment of a long held dream to educate children about the wonder of the arts."

Kucharski photo Built in 1833, St. John in the Wilderness, an Episcopal church, is located near the town of Flat Rock, N. C. English settlers who once crossed the oceans to live in Charlestown subsequently flocked to the area in the 1820s, and thus it became known as “Little Charleston of the Mountains.” Many others simply called it “The Wilderness.” As the community grew, so did the church. In 1852 it doubled in size—and simply extended over those already buried in the graveyard. The church's circular, one-lane driveway passes close to many graves, thus signs have been erected to direct drivers not to impede traffic’s flow. When she would see a black cat crossing the road in front of her car as a youngster, Kimberly Burnette-Dean would react without hesitation, hurriedly tracing the shape of the letter X with her index finger in front of the windshield. She still makes the same hand motion these days, decades later, with the same urgency as when she learned it during her upbringing in southwestern Virginia. It is believed to ward off any bad luck that some say follows the four-legged creature, long seen as an ominous sign in the Southern Appalachians. And it won’t work unless made three times, before the cat reaches the other side of the road. “You’ve got to do it quick,” said Burnette-Dean, who works as a librarian in Roanoke, Va., about 60 miles north of where she grew up, in Meadows of Dan. “"

Some get cancelled right out of the gate — others drag on for years, begging to be put out of their misery. Join us in this look back at the 25 worst sitcoms.25. Veronica’s Closet (1997 –2000)Cast Kirstie Alley – Veronica Chase Dan Cortese – Perry Rollins Wallace Langham – Josh Blair Daryl Mitchell – Leo Michaels Kathy Najimy – Olive Massery Plot Veronica (Kirstie Alley) is a romance expert, but not when it comes to her own life. A divorced woman, she owns a lingerie company called Veronica’s Closet and interacts with co-workers Olive (Kathy Najimy), Josh (Wallace Langham), Leo (Daryl Mitchell) and Perry (Dan Cortese). Why it’s on the list Some argue that the first season of Veronica’s Closet was funny, but the addition of Ron Silver in the second season was the kiss of death. Not sure we agree though – we wanted to like Veronica’s Closet after Kirstie Alley’s run on Cheers, but the only thing this had going for it was supporting players Wallace Langham and Kathy Najimy.24. Charles in Charge (1984- 1990)Cast Scott Baio – Charles Willie Aames – Buddy Lembeck James T. Callahan – Walter Powell Nicole Eggert – Jamie Powell Josie Davis – Sarah Powell Alexander Polinsky – Adam Powell Plot Charles is more than babysitter to the Powell kids – he’s a friend! Charles in Charge focused on the college student’s interaction with the Powell family and how he managed his own social life."

"text": "\"December 20, 2016 by Aurora It’s a Cannonball Christmas on Petticoat Junction Some of you may not be familiar with the intricacies of Petticoat Junction, a situation comedy that originally aired on CBS from September 1963 to April 1970, so let me introduce you to one of my favorite escapes. Petticoat Junction is a spinoff of The Beverly Hillbillies and it centers on the mishaps at the Shady Rest Hotel, which has its own stop on the Hooterville Cannonball and is situated somewhere between the towns of Pixley and Hooterville. The Shady Rest is owned and managed by Kate Bradley ( Bea Benaderet) who also lives in the hotel with her uncle Joe ( Edgar Buchanon) and her three daughters Billie Jo, Bobby Jo and Betty Jo (played in the show’s first season by Jeannine Riley, Pat Woodell and Linda Kaye ). Bottom row: Linda Kaye, Edgar Buchanan, Higgings (the dog), Bea Benaderet, Pat Woodell. Back row: Rufe Davis, Jeannine Riley and Smiley Burnette Also central to most Petticoat Junction stories are Charley ( Smiley Burnette ) and Floyd ( Rufe Davis ), the big-hearted and sometimes slow-witted engineers/conductors of the Hooterville Cannonball and Sam Drucker the owner of the only store in Hooterville that supplies goods to the residents in several surrounding towns. Sam Drucker and his general store are lifelines to the folks at Petticoat Junction, Green Acres (1965-1971) and occasionally The Beverly Hillbillies (1962-1971). Sam Drucker is played by great character actor, Frank Cady. Standing under the mistletoe Kate plants a kiss on Sam Drucker. The last, and perhaps most important character on Petticoat Junction is one I must spend a bit of time introducing you to. Not only does this character play a prominent role in my chosen episode, but he/she is central to many of the storylines featured in the show, particularly the first season."

Although remembered primarily for her children's books, such as Little Lord Fauntleroy, A Little Princess, and The Secret Garden, Burnett also wrote for adults, including the well-received novel That Lass o' Lowrie's. Burnett was born Frances Eliza Hodgson in Manchester, England, on November 24, 1849, to Edwin and Eliza (Boond) Hodgson. She was the middle of five children. When her father died in 1865, his hardware wholesaling business collapsed, leaving the family with few financial resources. A short while later, Burnett immigrated with her siblings and her mother to rural Tennessee, where they lived with her mother's brother. Burnett was about 16 years old at the time. The only education she had received was in a dame school in England, but she had spent vast amounts of time reading and educating herself on her own. The family had little money, and Burnett's first attempt at earning an income involved running a private school, which was unsuccessful. She then decided to try to sell a story to a magazine."

( Ricardo De Aratanha / Los Angeles Times)By Yvonne Villarreal Contact Reporter Carol Burnett was back in the sandbox, as she calls it. The veteran entertainer had returned to Stage 33 on the CBS Television City lot in Los Angeles — the original home base of “The Carol Burnett Show” — to tape a special celebrating the 50th anniversary of the groundbreaking comedy-variety show, which premiered in 1967 and ran for 11 years. The series had almost been a sitcom called “Here’s Agnes.” But Burnett, a cast member on the variety series “The Garry Moore Show,” had wanted a 28-piece orchestra. She wanted a repertory company and guest stars. She wanted costume changes. “I had this terrific and unheard-of contract that read if I wanted to push that button, the network would have to give me 30 one-hour comedy-variety shows,” Burnett, 84, said during the October taping. “ I said, ‘That’s what I want to do.’ And they said, ‘Oh, no, no, no."

Brooks once quipped that, whenever he hired Dom De Luise for one of his films, he would instinctively add another two days to the schedule because of the constant laughter Dom provided on the set -- especially when the camera started rolling. The lovable, butterball comedian was a mainstay on 1960s and '70s TV variety as a \"\"second banana\"\" or comedy relief player. While his harsher critics believed his schtick was better served in smaller doses, Dom nevertheless went on to find some range in a few moving, more restrained projects. Those few glimpses behind all the mirth and merriment revealed a dramatic actor waiting to be unleashed. As they say, behind every clown's smile, one can find a few tears. He was born Dominick De Luise on August 1, 1933, in Brooklyn, New York, to parents John, a sanitation engineer, and Vicenza (De Stefano) De Luise, both Italian immigrants. A natural class clown, it helped Dom fit in at school, and he started drawing belly laughs fairly young on stage. His very first school play had him portraying an inert copper penny! He later attended New York's High School of Performing Arts, but when it came to college, he decided to major in biology at Tufts University near Boston."

Thanks. — Ron U., Providence, R. I. Televisionary: The Burnett ear tug first made famous during the 1967-79 run of CBS's Carol Burnett Show was a message to her grandmother, a way of saying, \"\"Hello, I love you.\"\" ( And recently, Burnett said that when she performs now it's also a greeting to late daughter Carrie Hamilton, who passed away earlier this year. See the last answer of my March 13 column for more on that. ) Burnett credited Mae White (whom she called \"\"Nanny\"\"), the grandmother who raised her, with teaching her to greet life's difficulties with a sunny outlook. And Burnett had a lot of difficulties to face early on. Her parents came in and out of her life as she lived with White, and they both succumbed to alcoholism. Later, when Burnett was just starting out, she found herself caring for her younger sister. \"\""

"text": "\"Artistfacts ® Lyrics Songfacts ®3:31Diamond wrote this song about his second wife, Marcia Murphey, who he married in 1969 (they divorced in 1995). He needed a three-syllable name to fit the melody, however, so \"\"Sweet Marcia\"\" didn't work. The name Caroline is one he had written down, and it fit the song perfectly, so that's what he used. Neil Diamond is a great manipulator of the media, and has shifted his story about this song to fit the occasion. There was longtime speculation that the song is about Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of the American president John F. Kennedy. Diamond has since revealed that this Caroline gave him the idea for the name, but had nothing to do with the song's inspiration. In 2007, however, Diamond performed the song via satellite at Caroline Kennedy's 50th birthday party, and said that the song was about her. He told the Associated Press: \"\"I've never discussed it with anybody before - intentionally. I thought maybe I would tell it to Caroline when I met her someday. I'm happy to have gotten it off my chest and to have expressed it to Caroline."

The Vampire Diaries is a young adult vampire, romance and horror series of novels created and written by L. J. Smith. The Vampire Diaries is now a hit television series on The CW The story centers on Elena Gilbert, a young, beautiful high school girl who finds herself eventually torn between two Italian brothers, Stefan and Damon Salvatore, who are centuries old vampires. The series was originally a trilogy published in 1991, but pressure from readers led Smith to write a fourth volume, Dark Reunion, which was released the following year in 1992. The first four novels in the original series: The Awakening, The Struggle, The Fury and Dark Reunion all feature Stefan Salvatore and Elena Gilbert as the main narrators and protagonists of the series. The first three novels in the original series are from both Stefan and Elena's point of view, but the last book in the original series, Dark Reunion, is from Bonnie Mc Cullough 's viewpoint. Smith announced a new spin off trilogy in 2007 entitled The Vampire Diaries: The Return, which featured Damon Salvatore as the narrator of the trilogy. The first installment of The Return trilogy, Nightfall, was released on February 10, 2009. Shadow Souls, the second book of The Return trilogy, was released on March 16, 2010. The third and final book of The Return trilogy, Midnight, was released on March 15, 2011."

"text": "Annette Bening Highest Rated: 94% Richard III (1995)Lowest Rated: 13% The Women (2008)Birthday: May 29, 1958Birthplace: Topeka, Kansas, USAAlthough some of her recognition may stem from her 1992 marriage to Warren Beatty, Annette Bening has established herself as an actress capable of far more than domesticating one of Hollywood's most notorious playboys. After winning raves for her role in 1990's The Grifters, Bening turned in a series of strong performances in films ranging from The American President to Richard III to American Beauty. Born in Topeka, Kansas, on May 29, 1958, Bening moved with her family to San Diego, California when she was very young. It was there that she began to pursue her career, first as a dancer in various productions at a local college. Eventually graduating from San Francisco University (an education she paid for by working as a cook on a charter boat), Bening acted with San Francisco's American Conservatory Theatre before moving to New York to further her stage experience. Her career in New York had its auspicious moments, such as winning a Tony Award nomination and a Clarence Derwent Award for Outstanding Debut Performance for her performance in Coastal Disturbances, but Bening endured a five-year struggle before breaking into film. She made her debut as Dan Aykroyd's irritable wife in The Great Outdoors in 1988; more substantial work followed in the form of Milos Forman's Valmont, a 1989 adaptation of Chodleros de Laclos' Les Liaisons Dangereuses that featured Bening as the scheming, manipulative Marquise de Merteuil. The film suffered in comparison to Stephen Frears's Dangerous Liaisons, which had been released the previous year; fortunately, the same couldn't be said of Bening's next major effort, 1990's The Grifters. Frears's gripping, stylish adaptation of Jim Thompson's novel of the same name, The Grifters met with almost unanimous critical acclaim, much of which was aimed at the performances of Anjelica Huston, John Cusack, and Bening as the film's protagonists. Bening won special praise for her portrayal of an ill-fated con artist, accruing Best Supporting Actress nominations from the Academy, the New York Film Critics Circle, and the British Academy."

New York socialite Caroline Ferriday has her hands full with her post at the French consulate and a new love on the horizon. But Caroline’s world is forever changed when Hitler’s army invades Poland in September 1939—and then sets its sights on France.

It is amazing how Peck makes it so effortless (even in his only second film)in portraying a young man to one in his twilight years. He personifies morality and quiet integrity in this film, reminiscent to the role that he would play nearly twenty years later in TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. The supporting cast which performs more than ably is led by Cedric Hardwicke playing a monsignor who was initially critical of the Peck character but emerges having respect for him after reading his memoirs (which form the narration for the film. Others include Thomas Mitchell as the irreverent self-proclaimed atheist who does much to provide the witty humour for the film, Edmund Gwenn as Peck's plucky mentor at the seminary who uses the term \"\"ecclesiastical mechanic\"\" to describe priests who are inflexible and bureaucratic, and Rose Stradner as the Mother Superior who falls in love with Peck (you only get a hint of this). One of the highlights is the film's efforts in portraying the Chinese in a sensitive manner in terms of the customs shown and dialects used. This is very unlike films of its era which tended to portray Asians in a more stereotypical fashion. 32 out of 34 found this helpful. Was this review helpful?

"text": "Twenty-five of the Best!Religious and the Church CAROLINE CHISHOLM - Pioneer social worker (1808 - 1877)Many people think that, if Australia was to have a second canonised saint, Caroline Chisholm may well be the best qualified for this honour. Caroline was born into a comfortable Protestant middle class English family in 1808. From childhood she had a keen interest in the welfare of others. In 1830 she married a Catholic, Archibald Chisholm (on condition that he allowed her to continue her social work) and subsequently she became a Catholic herself. She and Captain Chisholm travelled first to India where he was stationed and then to Australia in 1838. Caroline was shocked at the dreadful conditions that awaited young emigrant women in the Colony. She was an immensely practical woman and resolved to do something about it. She regularly met ships to greet the young arrivals to ensure that they did not fall into the clutches of people anxious to take advantage of them. Caroline did her best to make arrangements for the women, offering some of them refuge in her own home. Eventually she persuaded Governor Gipps to allocate a building to be used as a hostel where girls could be accommodated while they were looking for work or for life-partners."

"text": "Hillary Clinton addresses the 30th Anniversary National Conference of Emily's List on March 3, 2015 in Washington, DC. Win Mc Namee—Getty Images By Erin Blakemore April 12, 2015With the expected announcement Sunday that Hillary Rodham Clinton will run for president in 2016, the Democratic Party has a female front-runner for the highest office in the land. But Clinton isn’t the first woman to run for president. Here are five others who sought the White House: Name: Victoria Woodhull Year Ran: 1872Party: Equal Rights Party Votes: No official votes recorded Platform: Universal suffrage, political reform, civil rights and social welfare Victoria Woodhull ran for president nearly 50 years before the Nineteenth Amendment allowed women to vote in presidential elections. Though historians can’t agree on whether her name actually appeared on nationwide ballots (or whether she received any votes), they concur that her run was historic—not only was she the first woman to seek the office, but her running-mate, Frederick Douglass, was the first African-American ever nominated for Vice President. She announced her run in a letter to the New York Herald in 1870: “I…claim the right to speak for the unenfranchised women of the country, and believing as I do that the prejudices which still exist in the popular mind against women in public life will soon disappear, I now announce myself as candidate for the Presidency.” But Woodhull was controversial and polarizing. A fierce believer in free love, she hated how society condemned liberated women, yet turned a blind eye to men’s dalliances. Her presidential run suffered a fatal blow when she was arrested on obscenity charges for writing an article about an adulterous love affair between Henry Ward Beecher, a powerful minister, and a parishioner just days before the election. Woodhull’s campaign was met with widespread derision, but it’s unclear if she could have taken office even if she had won—she was only 34 at the time of the election."

"text": "\"Politics & Government Government What does the 11th amendment mean?1 following 13 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The Eleventh Amendment (Amendment XI) to the United States Constitution was passed by the Congress on March 4, 1794 and was ratified on February 7, 1795. This Amendment deals with each State's sovereign immunity from being sued in federal court by someone of another state or country. This Amendment was adopted in response to, and in order to overrule, the United States Supreme Court decision in Chisholm v. Georgia, 2 U. S. 419 (1793). Source (s): Wikipedia .

Source (s): Just good in historyasknanswer · 9 years ago0 2 Comment The amendment was passed after the ruling of the United States Supreme Court in Chisholm v. Georgia, 2 U. S. 419 (1793), that federal courts had the authority to hear cases in law and equity against states by private citizens, and that states did not enjoy sovereign immunity from suits made by citizens of other states. Thus, the amendment clarified Article III, Section 2 of the original Constitution, which gave diversity jurisdiction to the judiciary to hear cases \"\"between a state and citizens of another state.\"\" Although the amendment's text does not by its own terms include suits brought by a citizen against his own state, the Supreme Court has held since Hans v. Louisiana 134 U. S. 1 (1890)) that the Amendment reflects a broader principle of sovereign immunity. As Justice Kennedy stated in Alden v. Maine (1999): “ [S]overeign immunity derives not from the Eleventh Amendment but from the structure of the original Constitution itself.... Nor can we conclude that the specific Article I powers delegated to Congress necessarily include, by virtue of the Necessary and Proper Clause or otherwise, the incidental authority to subject the States to private suits as a means of achieving objectives otherwise within the scope of the enumerated powers. ” The dissenting view, which has the support of four sitting justices, is that the states surrendered their sovereign immunity when they ratified the Constitution (and certainly when they ratified the Fourteenth Amendment)."

Although little of the material in the book is new, Winslow's synthesis and attention to race, class and gender dynamics makes it an excellent introduction to a woman who prided herself on being \"\"unbossed and unbought.\"\" What's more, Shirley Chisholm: Catalyst for Change acknowledges the limitations of individual achievement and credits \"\"the great social movements of the twentieth century - including some outside the United States\"\" for helping to boost Chisholm's influence and power. But let's start at the beginning. Shirley St. Hill - Chisholm was her first husband's surname - was born in Brooklyn, New York, to working-class immigrants from Barbados. As the Great Depression worsened, her parents sent her and two sisters back \"\"home,\"\" where they were reared on land owned by their grandmother, a domestic servant. Because grandma left at sun-up and did not return for 15 hours, the girls essentially were raised by their teenage aunt. \"\""

"text": "Born in Yuma, Arizona, to immigrant parents, Chavez moved to California with his family in 1939. For the next ten years they moved up and down the state working in the fields. During this period Chavez encountered the conditions that he would dedicate his life to changing: wretched migrant camps, corrupt labor contractors, meager wages for backbreaking work, bitter racism. His introduction to labor organizing began in 1952 when he met Father Donald Mc Donnell, an activist Catholic priest, and Fred Ross, an organizer with the Community Service Organization, who recruited Chavez to join his group. Within a few years Chavez had become national director, but in 1962 resigned to devote his energies to organizing a union for farm workers. A major turning point came in September 1965 when the fledgling Farm Workers Association voted to join a strike that had been initiated by Filipino farm workers in Delano’s grape fields. Within months Chavez and his union became nationally known. Chavez’s drawing on the imagery of the civil rights movement, his insistence on nonviolence, his reliance on volunteers from urban universities and religious organizations, his alliance with organized labor, and his use of mass mobilizing techniques such as a famous march on Sacramento in 1966 brought the grape strike and consumer boycott into the national consciousness. The boycott in particular was responsible for pressuring the growers to recognize the United Farm Workers ( ufw; renamed after the union joined the afl-cio ). The first contracts were signed in 1966, but were followed by more years of strife."

"text": "Mark Levin: Cesar Chavez Believed Embracing Illegal Immigration Wasn't 'Compassionate'by Tony Lee 10 Jul 2014 128Conservative scholar and talk radio host Mark Levin reminded Americans, including left-wing liberals and even some Republicans, that the late labor leader Cesar Chavez did not think it was compassionate to enable and encourage illegal immigration. Levin noted that in addition to Presidents Dwight Eisenhower and Harry Truman and civil rights icon Ralph Abernathy, who was Martin Luther King’s top adviser, Chavez — who is lionized by Hispanics, the left, and the labor movement — opposed illegal immigration “virulently. ”“Cesar Chavez opposed illegal immigration,” Levin said during a Wednesday appearance on Fox News’ Hannity . After saying that the premise that “compassion is an open border” is a “new idea” that has been pushed in recent times, Levin said that “a nation has a right to secure its border” and its citizens have a right to know who is coming into their country.advertisement Chavez, who was also against ethnic organizations like La Raza, would tell illegal immigrants to get out of the country, especially because they lowered the wages of American workers. And he was often far from compassionate in handling illegal immigrants. As Breitbart News has reported, “Chavez was so opposed to amnesty that even the film’s producers, who have a history of making politicized movies, decided, out of respect, to steer clear of the subject”: As the New York Times noted, Participant Media, which produced the film, has a “fondness for films about social issues.” The company made Lincoln as a statement about bipartisanship, The Help to “highlight the plight of domestic workers,” and Promised Land as a “call for environmental action” against fracking. But the producers avoided immigration reform in the movie because Chavez “fought for better wages and conditions for workers but held complex and evolving views on the status of unauthorized immigrants, some of which would be at odds with the changes many Hispanics and others are seeking today. ”Breitbart News has also detailed how much Cesar Chavez opposed amnesty: Ruben Navarrette, Jr ., a supporter of comprehensive immigration who has “studied and written about Chavez and the United Farm Workers … for more than 20 years,” wrote in a 2010 essay that “the historical record shows that Chavez was a fierce opponent of illegal immigration.”"

"text": "How Cesar Chavez Changed the World The farmworker’s initiative improved lives in America’s fields, and beyond (Cade Martin)By Miriam Pawel Smithsonian Magazine | Subscribe November 2013Five decades ago, a 35-year-old Mexican-American applied for unemployment in Bakersfield, California, and argued with the caseworker about how to characterize his previous job. He rejected each option: clerk, playground supervisor, intermediate social worker with a second language. None, he said, described what he did. Community organizer was not part of the American lexicon in April 1962. Neither was the name Cesar Chavez. Only seven years later, he would be on the cover of Time magazine. Chavez’s decision to walk away from a secure job as a community organizer was one of the many brave and fateful moves he made in his short life. But the most significant was his resolution to create what seemed almost impossible, a labor union for farmworkers. Others had put farmworkers’ plight into the public consciousness, notably John Steinbeck in The Grapes of Wrath in 1939 and Edward R. Murrow two decades later in “Harvest of Shame.” Chavez went further."

"text": "\"Contents1 Summary2 Origin:3 Chronology:4 Significant People:5 Outcomes/Long Term Effects on U. S. Culture:6 References:7 External links: Summary The United Farm Workers Movement was a political movement in the United States that intended to provide greater rights for farmworkers throughout the country and was headed by several organizations and labor unions, most notably the United Farm Workers of America. Initially named the \"\"National Farm Workers Association,\"\" the United Farm Workers of America was started by Cesar Chavez in 1962. The labor union soon began to campaign for greater rights of farm workers, especially in areas with large populations of migrant workers such as California. Beginning in the mid-1960's and continuing throughout the subsequent decades, the United Farm Workers was successful in providing higher wages and greater benefits for farmworkers throughout the country using the tactics of protests, strikes, and boycotts. [ 1]Origin: The United Farm Workers grew from already well established migrant laborer support groups in the early 1960’s that campaigned for the rights of migrant farm workers. The Community Services Organization, a Latino civil rights group prominent in the 1950’s, was especially important in that it helped train Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta, the co-founders of the United Farm Workers, in the process of organizing workers and lobbying the government. The main goal for the United Farm Workers Movement was to establish greater civil and political rights for farm workers in the United States at a time when these workers had very little power and to do so in a nonviolent manner. [ 2]Chronology:1962: Cesar Chavez founded the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA), a farmworkers labor union that would eventually be named the United Farm Workers of America [3]1965: With the help of mostly Filipino Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee, Chavez and the NFWA boycotted grape farms that refused to pay their farmworkers a wage of $1.50 an hour. The strike and the success it has catapult the NFWA (who would change their name to United Farm Workers) into the public spotlight. [ 4]1968: Cesar Chavez fasts for the first time to protest farm worker injustice, highlighting his commitment to nonviolent struggles. ["

"text": "The States Project California: A Dreamer Walks With Cesar Chavez By Luis D. León | June 18, 2012Email Print (Salina Canizales/Flickr)“We need a cultural revolution. And we need a cultural revolution among ourselves not only in art but also in the realm of the spirit. ”—Cesar E. Chavez (1927-1993)O n Easter Sunday, 1966, Cesar Chavez and a cadre of renegade Catholic priests, nuns, rabbis, and Protestant ministers converged on the steps of California’s capitol building in Sacramento. Chavez, a life-long Democrat, was adept at organizing across lines of religion and culture, including evangelicals and Pentecostals. In fact, the events at the state capitol included an ecumenical religious mass. Counted among the ten thousand in attendance were Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, and humanists, as well as Christians of many varieties. Starting three weeks earlier, Chavez had led an original group of seventy women and men who embarked upon a three hundred mile walk from central California, what they called a “peregrination,” in the spirit of both “penance,” and “revolution.” Upon arrival, the number of pilgrims had burgeoned to several hundred. The procession was led from the beginning by a banner emblazoned with an image that fused Our Lady of Guadalupe with the totem of Chavez’s crusade—a black eagle against a crimson background. For spectators, this imagery blurred the boundary between the sacred and the profane, insofar as the primary emblem of Mexican Catholicism melded into the symbolism of the hybrid religiosity characterizing what soon became known as La Causa, or the Cause, representing the totality of Chavez’s social justice struggles; but principally the United Farm Workers Union (UFW), which he founded in 1962."

As a result, a large number of caucasian people took over many migrant workers' jobs in California. This left many Mexicans and Filipinos desperate and willing to do anything for money. Working conditions were poor for the huge population of migrant workers and illegal immigrants. There were unsanitary conditions and horrible wages. These conditions evoked anger between workers and employers and set the foundation for large-scale wage strikes for the next fifty years. In the 1930's drought struck the southwest which forced more needy workers to move to California farms. Because of a greater demand for labor from these workers, farmers lowered wages and hired more people."

S. A. If so, then the movie isn't really about Cesar Chavez because he did not support illegal aliens flooding into the U. S. A. and causing his farm workers to compete with them for low pay. In fact, Chavez would find illegal aliens and turn them in to immigration. The large farms in California had his union workers arrested whenever they entered farm field talking to their low-pay workers. Legal citizens of the U. S. A. -- be they black brown yellow or red -- need to wake up to the fact that there is no longer discrimination against them. But for sure when the U. S.

Chavez National Holiday was established by Los Angeles volunteers who organized and led the effort in California that won Cesar Chavez Day, the first legal state holiday and day of service and learning in honor of farm worker leader Cesar E. Chavez. The legal holiday bill introduced by then State Senator Richard Polanco (Los Angeles-D) was signed into law by then Governor Gray Davis (D) on August 18, 2000. The holiday is celebrated in California on Cesar E. Chavez’s birthday March 31st. This marked the first time that a labor leader or Latino has been honored with a public legal holiday. The California legal holiday set into motion a wave of initiatives resulting in optional and commemorative Cesar Chavez Days in nine additional states (Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Michigan, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin and Rhode Island. ) Cesar Chavez Day brings together hundreds of thousands who engage in celebrations, service and learning projects, and other actions that further the many causes which Cesar Chavez worked for. The mission of Cesar E. Chavez National Holiday, a public benefit organization, is to work for national recognition of Cesar E. Chavez on his birthday March 31. We are forming national, state and local coalitions; organizing volunteer committees; and providing education about the value to our nation of honoring Cesar E. Chavez. Our Vision Cesar Chavez gave our nation and each of us a unique example to live our lives by. His selfless dedication for farm worker and worker rights, economic justice, civil rights, environmental justice, peace, nonviolence, empowerment of the poor and disenfranchised, is a monumental legacy that will inspire all and the generations to come."

( Gary Feinstein/The Sentinel)LEMOORE — Dozens of people rolled up their sleeves Thursday to give blood for the Cesar E. Chavez Blood Drive Challenge at West Hills College Lemoore. The blood drive, organized by the school’s College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) students, aims to celebrate Chavez’s legacy by engaging students to promote health education, health and science professions and civic engagement. The event’s organizer, Maritza Michel, said the labor rights leader was a major role model for her grandfather. “He didn’t have one-on-one contact with [Chavez], but he would follow whatever he was saying,” she said. “ He would get his own group of people and not protest, but get the word out. ”Although work precluded him from helping with the event, CAMP student Carlos Tafolla still took time to give blood."

Photograph: Mike Nelson/EPAD espite the most recent primary results, Bernie Sanders is still losing to Hillary Clinton. In my opinion, it’s not because he has bad ideas, but because his campaign strategy is to portray himself as an exemplar of moral virtue and Clinton as evil incarnate. Not only that, he decries anyone who doesn’t agree with him as a corrupt sell-out. Some of his supporters seem to agree. When legendary farm labor, feminist, and voting rights activist Dolores Huerta published an op-ed saying she didn’t know enough about Sanders to vote for him, citing his inconsistent record on immigration and his lack of presence in the United Farm Workers struggle (that’s the labor union she co-founded with the late Cesar Chavez), the person who spoke up on Sanders’ behalf was an actress who once played Huerta in a poorly received biopic of Chavez. Rosario Dawson, a 36-year-old from New York City whose Latino ancestors hail from Puerto Rico, a US territory, and Cuba, the beneficiary of an open-door US immigration policy these last 57 years, wrote an op-ed in the Huffington Post lecturing Huerta. “I am surprised, dismayed, and concerned that you would do your legacy such a disservice by becoming an instrument of the establishment, rather than joining this movement to create a better America like you once inspired us to do,” Dawson said."

Not only is this the most coveted; it is also the most significant out of all other awards since this award is awarded to individuals who have done “the best work for the fraternity of nations,” as well as for the eradication of groups and armies that encumber the massive promotion of peace among people of all nations. Ever since Alfred Nobel chose peace as a category for the Noble Prize, it has been subject to several controversies. “ He/she-should-have-won” claims have been pervasive, and debates as to who is more deserving to win have been ongoing year after year. So, according to popular opinion, here is a list of the 25 people who should have won the Noble Peace Prize but didn’t.25 People Who Should Have Won The Nobel Peace Prize But Didn't Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available.

Bettmann/Getty Imagesby Nadra Kareem Nittle Updated July 08, 2017The Chicano Movement emerged during the civil rights era with three goals: restoral of land, rights for farm workers and education reforms. Prior to the 1960s, however, Latinos lacked influence in the national political arena. That changed when the Mexican American Political Association worked to elect John F. Kennedy president in 1960, establishing Latinos as a significant voting bloc. After Kennedy was sworn into office, he showed his gratitude toward the Latino community by not only appointing Hispanics to posts in his administration but also by considering the concerns of the Hispanic community. As a viable political entity, Latinos, particularly Mexican Americans, began demanding that reforms be made in labor, education and other sectors to meet their needs. A Movement With Historic Ties When did the Hispanic community’s quest for justice begin? Their activism actually predates the 1960s. In the 1940s and ’50s, for example, Hispanics won two major legal victories. The first—Mendez v. Westminster Supreme Court—was a 1947 case that prohibited segregating Latino schoolchildren from white children."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia: (I just found this portion of the class discussion interesting, but we didn’t get to really get into an in-depth conversation about it)A Tejano ( Spanish for “Texan”; archaic spelling texano) is a person of Hispanic descent born and living in the U. S. state of Texas. In 1821, at the end of the Mexican War of Independence, there were about 4,000 Tejanos living in Texas. In the 1820s, many Anglo settlers moved to Texas from the United States. By 1830, the 30,000 settlers in Texas outnumbered the Tejanos two to one. The Anglos and Tejanos alike rebelled against the centralized authority of Mexico City and the draconian measures implemented by the Santa Anna regime. Tensions between the central Mexican government and the settlers eventually led to the Texas Revolution. Tejanos may variously consider themselves to be Hispanic, Chicano, Mexican American, Spanish, or Latino in ethnicity. In urban areas as well as some rural communities, Tejanos tend to be well integrated into both Hispanic and Anglo-American cultures. It is necessary to draw this distinction because the people who came from Mexico starting just before, during, and after the Mexican Revolution through today are and were of a different ethnic heritage than the ones who colonized Texas during the Spanish Colonial Period, of a different history. While the majority, not all, of the people who have come from Mexico since the Mexican Revolution are and drew their identity from the mestizos (people of mixed Indian and Spaniard blood) or genizaros (Indians who lost their tribal identity and adopted Spanish names and the Spanish language, of which much of the modern day Mexican immigrant population in the U. S. consists) and had their history and identity in the history of Mexico, the majority, not all, of the people who colonized Texas in the Spanish Colonial Period were and drew their identity from the Spaniards and the criollos (full blooded Spaniards born in the New World), and had their history and identity in the history of Spain and of the United States as a consequence of the participation of Spain and its colonial provinces of Texas and Louisiana in the American Revolution."

Years ago, this tribe inhabited a small town near the Tombigbee River in Mississippi. Since Indians migrated frequently, a few tribal members eventually inhabited nearby towns in the southern part of the United States. Unfortunately, as more and more settlers arrived to North America, the Chickasaw Indians, along with several other tribes, were forced to relocate to designate Indian Territory in the state of Oklahoma. Today, the majority of pure breed Native Americans live on reservations located throughout the country. Compared to other Indian groups, the Chickasaw's were a small group. In the 1600's, the tribe consisted of approximately 5,000. Other groups saw populations of more than 20,000. The Chickasaw Indians community was extremely orderly, and everything necessary was located within close proximity. Ancient Indian tribes dwelled in tents and upheld a primitive life."

The Trail of Tears was the primary passage toward federally created Indian lands west of the Mississippi River. Learn about the history of the forced Indian removal and the devastation that occurred to native groups along their painful journey to their new home. Introduction In American history, the Trail of Tears has become synonymous with studies in violence, racism and genocide. Prior to the passage of the Indian Removal Act of 1830, native groups thrived within the southeastern United States. These groups included the Creeks, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Seminole and Cherokee. Unfortunately, all of these groups resided on extremely valuable land - land that was expected to be used by white settlers for the production of cotton. To resolve the impasse that developed between the Indian nations and the United States, President Andrew Jackson began the process of relocating these tribes to federally created lands west of the Mississippi River. Some groups went peacefully, but for those who did not, their removal became an arduous and deadly journey along the Trail of Tears. Indian Removal Prior to 18381838 will be our benchmark when separating early movement along the Trail of Tears from the mass suffering of the Cherokee nation in the years that followed."

Deaths Cherokee (4,000) Creek Seminole (3,000 in Second Seminole War – 1835–1842) Chickasaw (3,500)Choctaw (2,500–6,000)The Trail of Tears was a series of forced relocations of Native American peoples from their ancestral homelands in the Southeastern United States, to areas to the west (usually west of the Mississippi River) that had been designated as Indian Territory. The forced relocations were carried out by government authorities following the passage of the Indian Removal Act in 1830. Many of the relocated people suffered from exposure, disease, and starvation while en route to their new designated reserve, and many died before reaching their destinations. The forced removals included members of the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek), Seminole, Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Ponca nations. The phrase \"\"Trail of Tears\"\" originates from a description of the removal of many Native American tribes, including the infamous Cherokee Nation relocation in 1838. [ 1] [2] [3]Between 1830 and 1850, the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, Seminole, and Cherokee people (including mixed-race and black freedmen and slaves who lived among them) were forcibly removed from their traditional lands in the Southeastern United States, and relocated farther west. [ 4] Those Native Americans who were relocated were forced to march to their destinations by state and local militias. [ 5] The Cherokee removal in 1838 (the last forced removal east of the Mississippi) was brought on by the discovery of gold near Dahlonega, Georgia in 1828, resulting in the Georgia Gold Rush. ["

Military expertise, proficient diplomacy and cultural adaptation allowed the Chickasaw to survive in an ever-changing world that surrounded them. But with the passage of the Indian Removal Act in 1830, the Chickasaw were no longer in a position to negotiate in order to protect their ancestral homeland in Mississippi. By 1837, the Chickasaw would be forced to journey westward to Indian Territory. The historical presence of this noble and brave tribe can be seen through the names of local sites, towns and counties throughout current day Mississippi.

From the three villages in the southern part of their nation, the Chickasaws looked west across the prairie to where the French forces had bivouacked. They were not much further than a musket shot away. Poised though the army was, there was no consensus among the Indians that the French would attack these three villages. There were no Natchez in these villages, and according to the captured French war plans, the French intended to first attack the Natchez whose village was just adjacent to the Chickasaw villages two or three miles to the north. Ever since the Natchez and French had traded massacres in 1729 and 1730, respectively, they had been deadly enemies. The French army had nearly wiped out the Natchez; most of the Natchez survivors fled north to the Chickasaws who provided asylum. Subsequently, as a condition to beginning any serious talks with the Chickasaw, the French insisted that the tribe first hand over these refugee Natchez for punishment. What the French may have failed to realize was that the Chickasaw and Natchez had a long-standing alliance. That would explain why so many of the surviving Natchez fled not to the Choctaws, who were much closer, but to the Chickasaws."

Native History: Chickasaw and Choctaw Give in to Dawes Act The double-edged sword of allotments through the Dawes Act made way for what is now the state of Oklahoma Alysa Landry • April 28, 2017This Date in Native History: On April 28, 1897, the Chickasaw and Choctaw, two of the Five Civilized Tribes, agreed to abolish tribal governments and communal ownership of land, opening the door to increased white settlement in Oklahoma’s Indian Territory. The other three tribes—Cherokee, Creek and Seminole—quickly followed suit and abandoned their governments and traditional ideas of land ownership in favor of allotments distributed under the Dawes Severalty Act. The Dawes Act, passed in 1887, stripped tribes of millions of acres of land, but the Five Civilized Tribes were exempt because of an 1830 treaty that promised them their land in Oklahoma for “as long as the grass grows and water runs.” In 1893, Congress authorized establishment of the Dawes Commission to convince the tribes to adopt the principles voluntarily.

"text": "\"The Chickasaw story begins with their own account of their migration from west of the Mississippi. Each night when they camped, their priests would set a pole vertically in the ground. When they arose the next morning, the direction that the pole was leaning would indicate where they were to go. It always pointed east, and after crossing the Mississippi, they reached the Tennessee River near Huntsville, Alabama. Here the pole remained erect, and they stayed. The timing of this is uncertain, but the Chickasaw had been there for some time when Hernando De Soto's conquistador army arrived in December of 1540. Still healing the wounds from their victory over the Mobile in southern Alabama, the Spanish were discouraged by the ferocity of the battle and their failure to find gold. Rumors of mutiny had forced De Soto to turn northward to find winter quarters rather than risk wholesale desertions if he proceeded to the supply ships waiting on the coast. As one-sided as their victory had been, the Spanish were no longer viewed as invincible by the region's tribes, and the reception they received from the Chickasaw at a river crossing in northern Alabama was a shower of arrows from warriors on the other side. The Spanish finally forced their way across and, after capturing several hostages, demanded that the Chickasaw supply them with food."

For those who are wondering about the retro title of this black-history series, please take a moment to learn about historian Joel A. Rogers, author of the 1934 book 100 Amazing Facts About the Negro With Complete Proof , to whom these “amazing facts” are an homage. Amazing Fact About the Negro No. 76: What’s the truth behind the legend in many African-American families about having a Native American ancestor? Zora Neale Hurston once wrote with characteristic irony that she thought she was “the only Negro in the United States whose grandfather on the mother’s side was not an Indian chief.” Like most African Americans I’ve interviewed, I was raised believing that one of my great-great-grandmothers was all or part Native American, with “high cheekbones and straight black hair. ”In my family, this was gospel. No one even thought about the possibility that it might not be true, since—sure enough—there were plenty of people on my family tree, as family photos attested about those who had passed, who did in fact have those proverbial and much-valued cheekbones and some variation of that long and silky straight black hair. What struck me about our mysterious Native American ancestry, even as a child, was how very important it was to my mother’s 11 siblings, and how just as important it was to my dozens of cousins."

They moved from place to place following the large bison herds. In the early 1800s, the Blackfoot were introduced to horses. Horses allowed them to cover a larger hunting ground and made it easier to hunt bison. The Blackfoot soon became the dominant people in the northwestern Great Plains. They were fierce warriors and protected their territory from other tribes such as the Lakota Sioux and the Shoshone. In the mid-1800s, the Blackfoot began to struggle due to the encroachment of white settlers. Overhunting caused the bison herds to dwindle and food became scarce."

ABC News affiliate WFAA-TV in Dallas reported that investigators said Routh, 25, was recovering from post traumatic stress disorder, but police today said they could not confirm that. Routh, a corporal in the Marines from June 2006 to January 2010, was deployed to Iraq in 2007 and Haiti in 2010, according to the Pentagon. His current duty status is listed as reserve. \"\" Apparently Mr. Kyle works with people that are suffering from some issues that have been in the military and this shooter is possibly one of those people, that he had taken out to the range to mentor, to visit with, to help him, you know, that's all I can tell you,\"\" said Erath County Sheriff Tommy Bryant. \"\" Kind of have an idea that maybe that's why they were at the range, for some type of therapy that Mr. Kyle assists people with, and I don't know if it's called shooting therapy,\"\" Bryant said. \"\" I don't have any idea but that's what little bit of information that we can gather so far. \"\" Witnesses told police that Routh left the shooting scene in Kyle's pickup truck. He drove to his sister's home in Midlothian and when he allegedly told her and her husband that he had shot the two men, the couple called police. When investigators got there, Routh fled in another vehicle, but he was captured a short time later."

"text": "A jury in Minnesota awarded $1.845 million in damages Tuesday to former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, deciding that he was defamed by the late Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle who said he punched Ventura out in a bar in 2006 after the former governor said the SEALs “deserved to lose a few” in war. The news emerged after six days of deliberations in St. Paul, Minn. The award includes $500,000 in defamation damages and $1.345 million for “unjust enrichment,” according to the Star-Tribune of Minnesota. “ Unjust enrichment” is typically awarded in cases in which the court finds that one person has unjustly or by chance made money at the expense of another, requiring restitution. [ RELATED: Making Chris Kyle’s ‘American Sniper’: Clint Eastwood’s staff weighs in on what they changed]As outlined in this Checkpoint post, the case got its start when Ventura sued Kyle, who is billed as having the most confirmed kills by a sniper in U. S. military history. Kyle wrote in his 2012 book, “American Sniper,” that he punched out a celebrity while mourning the death of Navy SEAL and future Medal of Honor recipient, Master at Arms 2nd Class Michael Monsoor. Kyle did not identify Ventura by name in the book, but said that he swung at the individual after he “started running his mouth about the war and everything and anything he could connect to it.” That included President George W. Bush and deployed SEALs, who “were doing the wrong thing, killing men and women and children and murdering,” the man said, according to Kyle’s book. Ventura said the whole episode was fabricated. In this April 6, 2012, photo, former Navy SEAL and author of the book “American Sniper” poses in Midlothian, Texas.

The last 63-yard field goal was also aided by the altitude of Denver, booted by Jason Elam in 1998. The other 63-yard field goal was kicked by Tom Dempsey of the Saints in New Orleans in 1970. Janikowski has long been renowned for having one of the strongest legs in football. Last year he hit a 59-yard field goal, and in 2009 he made one from 61 yards. In 2007 Janikowski hit the upright on a missed 64-yard attempt that was long enough that it could have been good from 70 yards. And in 2008 Janikowski attempted a 76-yard field goal, although that one came up a good 20 yards short. Now Janikowski has his name in the record book: He’s the only player in NFL history with two field goals of 60-plus yards, and he has a field goal as long as any NFL player has ever kicked.

Routh, who admitted to police that he killed Kyle and the marksman’s friend Chad Littlefield, will have his day in court early next month. By then, news of Kyle’s life, his “unverifiable” legacy and his tragic death will have already ricocheted around the world, thanks to the box office hit “American Sniper. ”The circumstances of Kyle’s death aren’t discussed in detail in the Oscar-nominated biopic, which mostly focuses on Kyle’s career as one of the country’s most praised and skilled snipers. Though the movie is presented as a mini-chronicle of America’s modern wars, it omits a chapter in Kyle’s real-life story that reflects on war’s dark, lingering consequences: His death at the hands of another veteran — one who had been scarred by the effects of war-related mental illness. Routh’s many troubles were the very reason Kyle and Littlefield were in contact with him. Kyle’s trip to the Rough Creek gun range that day was likely part of an effort to help Routh deal with his post-traumatic stress disorder. But at some point that day, Routh, a 27-year-old former Marine, opened fire on the two men, killing them. He took their Ford 350 truck and fled."

"text": "\"The Longest 'Moon Shot' Home Run in the History of Each MLB Stadium0 of 30Nothing gets fans excited like a home run, and every once and a while, a batter really gets into a pitch and hits an awe-inspiring bomb. Tape-measure home runs remain among the most impressive feats in all of sports, and just last weekend, Rangers slugger Nelson Cruz hit the longest home run in the history of Angels Stadium. So here's a look at the longest \"\"moon shot\"\" home run in the history of each MLB stadium, including the date, pitcher who allowed it and distance. Angel Stadium, Los Angeles Angels1 of 30Date: 6/3/2012Hitter: Rangers RF Nelson Cruz Pitcher: Angels RP Bobby Cassevah Distance: 484 Feet (left-center field)With the most recent blast on this list, Cruz connected off Angels reliever Bobby Cassevah this past weekend to seal the Rangers' win and allow the team to avoid being swept. A late bloomer, Cruz did not become an everyday player until the age of 28 in 2009, but he has tallied 84 long balls in three years since doing that. He's been most impressive in the postseason, though, where he has hit 14 home runs with 27 RBI in 122 at-bats. AT&T Park, San Francisco Giants2 of 30Date: Post-2000Hitter: Giants LF Barry Bonds Pitcher: vs. Dodgers Distance: 499 Feet (center field)For as big of a star and then villain as Barry Bonds was during his career, it's surprisingly difficult to find details regarding the longest home run he ever hit at AT&T Park. According to BR Bullpen, Bonds holds the mark for longest home run at the stadium with a 499-foot blast to center field. Other accounts back this up, and while I found out it was against the Dodgers, I was unable to figure out what year and who was pitching. Busch Stadium, St. Louis Cardinals3 of 30Date: 8/15/2011Hitter: Cardinals 1B Albert Pujols Pitcher: Rockies SP Esmil Rogers Distance: 465 Feet (left-center field)Despite a \"\"down\"\" season last year in what was his final season with the Cardinals, Pujols managed to put his name in the record books one more time in August when he hit the longest home run in the New Busch Stadium's history."

And it’s not just being a monkey on a gun — anyone can pull a trigger. It’s observing the area, knowing the culture, and what exactly is going on at all times. It's being able to pick out an oddity. Someone’s not acting right, so that draws your attention to the individual, and then you start trying to define exactly what he’s doing and why he’s doing it. You watch anything as far as movement, shades, or anything that shines back at you.

Photo: Warner Bros. Pictures“American Sniper” has become a cultural phenomenon as well as a hit, and it seems everyone has an opinion about the controversial movie. After breaking January box office records last weekend, Clint Eastwood’s film about Navy SEAL Chris Kyle became a point of discussion for many. Critics attacked the film for playing fast and loose with history, while others praised the film’s portrait of an American hero. Though it goes unseen in the movie, Kyle's mysterious death two years ago also intrigues many viewers, especially with Eddie Ray Routh, the man who shot Kyle, set to stand trial on Feb. 11. Here are five facts to know about the killing before the trial begins Feb. 11:1. Eddie Ray Routh, then 25, shot and killed Chris Kyle, 38, and his friend Chad Littlefield on Feb. 2, 2013, at a shooting range in Erath County, Texas. Kyle often took veterans, such as Routh, out on shooting ranges to work with them and help them cope with PTSD and related problems.2. Routh was a member of the U. S. Marine Corps."

Paul Moseley Fort Worth Star-Telegram Jkokasdfok skasdfoko askfasdk asfokaso dkasdfokasokfaskoaskofao. Times-Union readers want to know: I received an email that says that President Barack Obama ordered flags to be flown at half-staff for Whitney Houston but not for Chris Kyle, the Navy SEAL killed at a gun range. Is that true? This viral email has been circulating again — still without clarification. The U. S. flag flies at half-staff on government buildings, military bases and public schools on specific occasions, outlined in Title 4 of the U. S. Code: the deaths of presidents, vice presidents, members of Congress, Supreme Court justices and governors. The president also may authorize the flag to fly at half-staff, which he did for the Aurora, Colo., theater shootings, the Sandy Hook Elementary School killings and the Boston Marathon bombings. Governors can also direct that the state flag be lowered to honor state officials, military members who died during service to the country, or prominent citizens. Chris Kyle was a U. S. Navy SEAL who wrote the book “American Sniper” about his experiences. He and a friend were killed at a Texas gun range on Feb. 2; veteran Eddie Ray Routh has been charged in the case."

"text": "U. S.‘American Sniper’ Jury Finds Chris Kyle’s Killer Guilty of Murder By MANNY FERNANDEZ and KATHRYN JONES FEB. 24, 2015Eddie Ray Routh, center, in court on Tuesday. A jury in Texas found Mr. Routh, a Marine veteran, guilty of murdering Chris Kyle and a friend of Mr. Kyle’s. Pool photo by Michael Ainsworth STEPHENVILLE, Tex. — Eddie Ray Routh, the mentally disturbed veteran who killed Chris Kyle, the former Navy SEAL marksman who inspired the movie “American Sniper,” was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison after a jury here found him guilty of murder, rejecting his claims that he was legally insane at the time. Mr. Routh and his lawyers had argued that he was not guilty by reason of insanity and that he belonged not in prison but at a state mental hospital. His two-week trial for the killings of Mr. Kyle and Mr. Kyle’s friend Chad Littlefield in 2013 centered on Mr. Routh’s state of mind. Jurors had to decide whether Mr. Routh’s erratic behavior, his delusions about hybrid pig people and his heavy drug use were proof of insanity or evidence that he was troubled but criminally responsible. With the death penalty off the table, the verdict that Mr. Routh was guilty of capital murder left him facing only one possible sentence, and the judge issued it minutes after the verdict was announced — life in prison without parole. The judge announced the decision in a courtroom just three miles from a movie theater that had been playing “American Sniper” since Mr. Routh’s trial began on Feb. 11."

Several months earlier the 25-year-old former Marine had moved back in with his parents in Lancaster, Texas, a small, middle-class suburb just south of Dallas. He had been struggling for years with what doctors had diagnosed as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, though his symptoms suggested he was suffering from a more serious mental illness. He would later tell a forensic psychologist that he believed his coworkers at a cabinet shop were cannibals who planned to eat him. Routh was plagued with such severe anxiety, he was unable to drive himself to work. His mother, Jodi, would drop him off in the morning on her way to her job at an elementary school, and the shop’s owner would return him home. That meant for a few hours each afternoon, Routh was left alone. “ When I’d start back to the house,” Jodi recalls, “I’d be like, ‘Please don’t let me find him dead.’"

For several days, the entire company of the 144th Mountain Troop Regiment of the German Army had been pinned down by a solitary Russian sniper. It was the job of the new arrival ‘to get him off our backs’. The young man, an Austrian by the name of Sepp Allerberger, was led to a parapet of logs that formed the edge of the trench. Squinting through a gap, he could see nothing suspicious in No Man’s Land. He rolled up a tent and placed a cap on its top — then raised the cap above the level of the logs. After no more than a few seconds, the cap was shot off its perch. The sniper’s impetuousness would prove to be an error, because the flash from his rifle revealed his position to Allerberger. Gingerly, he eased the muzzle of his rifle through the gap in the logs. He estimated the enemy sniper to be about 100 yards away — so well within range."

It was an age in which European sailors and ships left the coastal waters of the Old World and embarked on their adventure on the vast \"\"green sea of darkness.\"\" First, Portuguese ships, then Spanish and finally, in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, British, French and Dutch ships set out to discover a world, a world they originally called the Other World, but eventually called the Mundus Novus -- the New World. The costs were minimal but the risks were high. Whole continents were discovered and explored. However, despite the fact that history textbooks have, until quite recently, always glamorized this age of European exploration, there is one series fact we need to consider. That fact is this: Europeans found native populations wherever they landed and their first task was to befriend them. After this initial period came to an end, that is, after gold and silver was discovered among the natives, the age of European exploitation began. In this way, exploration turned to exploitation. One example says a lot: during the second voyage of Columbus in 1494, and while at Hispaniola, one of his captains collected 1500 Indians and held them captive."

The Santa María 's original name was La Gallega."

' Russell Freedman Read an excerpt from Who Was First? by Russell Freedman: Before Columbus For a long time, most people believed that Christopher Columbus was the first explorer to \"\"discover\"\" America—the first to make a successful round-trip voyage across the Atlantic. But in recent years, as new evidence came to light, our understanding of history has changed. We know now that Columbus was among the last explorers to reach the Americas, not the first. Five hundred years before Columbus, a daring band of Vikings led by Leif Eriksson set foot in North America and established a settlement. And long before that, some scholars say, the Americas seem to have been visited by seafaring travelers from China, and possibly by visitors from Africa and even Ice Age Europe. A popular legend suggests an additional event: According to an ancient manuscript, a band of Irish monks led by Saint Brendan sailed an ox-hide boat westward in the sixth century in search of new lands. After seven years they returned home and reported that they had discovered a land covered with luxuriant vegetation, believed by some people today to have been Newfoundland. All along, of course, the two continents we now call North and South America had already been \"\"discovered.\"\""

"text": "Christopher Columbus Explorer Christopher Columbus (1451–1506) is famed for his 1492 ‘discovery’ of the New World of the Americas on board his ship Santa Maria. In actual fact, Columbus did not actually discover North America, but he was the first European to discover the Bahamas archipelago and then the island later named Hispaniola, now split into Haiti and the Dominican Republic. On his subsequent voyages he went farther south, to Central and South America. He never got close to what is now called the United States. What was his background? Columbus was born in the Italian seaport of Genoa in 1451, to a family of wool weavers. As a young lad he went to sea and became an experienced sailor. He then moved to Lisbon, Portugal, to gain support for a journey he was planning to find new trade routes to the Far East. Ferdinand and Isabella, the King and Queen of Spain, agreed to finance him. What did Columbus want to do?"

Credit: Elena Korsukova | Shutterstock Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci is best known for his namesake: the continents of North and South America. But why were these continents named after him, especially since his voyages happened after Christopher Columbus' famed 1492 sail on the ocean blue? Vespucci was the first person to recognize North and South America as distinct continents that were previously unknown to Europeans, Asians and Africans. Prior to Vespucci's discovery, explorers, including Columbus, had assumed that the New World was part of Asia. Vespucci made his discovery while sailing near the tip of South America in 1501. Amerigo Vespucci was one of many European explorers during the Age of Exploration, or Age of Discovery, which took place from the mid-1400s to mid-1500s. \"\" The Age of Exploration was prompted by different motivations,\"\" said Erika Cosme, administrative coordinator of education and digital services at The Mariner’s Museum and Park in Newport News, Virginia. \"\" In the 15 th century, Europe, Asia, and Africa were at the epicenter of a global exchange of goods; also, for Europeans, curiosities of different cultures continued to emerge.

"text": "Introduction Although Christopher Columbus is credited for discovering the “New World,” he always believed he had reached Asia. Amerigo Vespucci, however, actually confirmed that it was not Asia, but instead a separate continent. Because of this, North and South America bear his name. Continents bear feminine names. Europe, named by the Greeks, comes from “Europa.” Asia also comes from Greece, and referred to lands east of their homeland. So sticking with a feminine tradition, “America” is a feminine form of Amerigo. Biography Early Life Amerigo Vespucci was born March 9, 1454 in Florence, Italy to Nastagio and Lisabetta Vespucci. His father was a notary in the Florence government. The Vespucci family was well-connected, and Amerigo received an excellent education by his uncle Giorgio Antonio."

"text": "Christopher Columbus Discovers America A History of the New World Between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries, a countless number of European explorers navigated the globe in search of new lands and new treasures. The era, known as The Age of Discovery, gave fame to some of history’s greatest seafarers—Ferdinand Magellan, Vasco da Gama, and John Cabot to name but a few. Of all the great explorers, though, none are as celebrated as Christopher Columbus—the man who “discovered” America. The Making of an Explorer, 1451-92—Beginnings Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy, in 1451. His origins were very humble—his father was a tavern-keeper and a weaver—and so it was due to hard work and endeavour alone that he would achieve the riches and distinctions of later life. Genoa was a great Italian port, and Columbus grew up surrounded by the sea, ships, and sailors. Columbus likely sailed from a very early age, possibly as young as 10, but he made his first official serving voyage in 1474-75, at about age 24. Around two years later, in 1476, he was part of a small Genoese convoy that was intercepted and sunk by the French off the coast of Portugal. Columbus survived by swimming to shore aided, it is said, by an oar which he used to propel himself to safety (Thomas). Columbus settled in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1477 and married Felipa Moniz Perestrello in 1479."

In the mountains above Calcutta, a little princess is born. Because of the outbreak of World War I, she is six years old the first time her parents take her to England. Her mother thinks she should have a proper English upbringing and insists on leaving her in a convent school - even though Vivien is two years younger than any of the other girls at the school. The only comfort for the lonely child is a cat that was in the courtyard of the school that the nuns let her take up to her dormitory. Her first and best friend at the school is an eight-year-old girl, Maureen O'Sullivan who has been transplanted from Ireland. In the bleakness of a convent school, the two girls can recreate in their imaginations the places they have left and places where they would some day like to travel. After Vivien has been at the school for 18 months, her mother comes again from India and takes her to a play in London. In the next six months Vivien will insist on seeing the same play 16 times. In India the British community entertained themselves at amateur theatricals and Vivien's father was a leading man."

It should be understood immediately that this movie only borrows the title and a few incidents from Jack London's classic novel. And at that point the comparison between the two should end. This film, rousing & adventurous, is able to stand on its own merits. An excellent cast, fine production values (notice particularly the care with which Skagway & Dawson are depicted) and location shooting in Washington State are the film's strongest assets. The plot, meant solely for entertainment, is pure hokum... Clark Gable brings his trademark masculinity to a role that didn't require a lot of stretching of his thespian muscles. But in essentially playing himself he is perfectly cast. One cannot overcome the suspicion that London's original story was reworked for the star.

The complete transcripts, minus \"\"the most graphic words and passages,\"\" but with their praise of Clark Gable, orgasms and enemas, and their detailing of a one-night stand with Joan Crawford intact, can be found online at La Times.com. The nude body of Monroe was found in her Los Angeles home on Aug. 5, 1962. The autopsy, which Miner attended, showed the clinical cause of death was barbiturate overdose; the somewhat inconclusive conclusion was that the 36-year-old actress probably took her own life. \"\" Marilyn Monroe bears the stigma of suicide,\"\" the 86-year-old Miner writes in a blow-by-blow accounting of the case, also posted on the Times ' Website. \"\" That is wrong and must be corrected. \"\" Miner argues that it was unlikely that Monroe received her lethal dose of drugs orally (no traces in the stomach, he said) or via injection (no needle marks, he said). To him, that leaves an enema as the likely conduit."

"text": "1Nov Carole Lombard and Clark Gable Posted by: Categories: Photos 10 Comments In my humble experience with Clark Gable fans, there are two things that are the most popular topics: His role as Rhett Butler in Gone with the Wind and his tragic marriage to Carole Lombard. Sadly, Clark wouldn’t probably want to be remembered for either of those things. Rhett Butler left a bitter taste in his mouth and Carole, well…Carole was a touchy subject. Once, on a classic movie fan board years ago, I came across a discussion on the most romantic classic filmdom couples. Joel Mc Crea and Frances Dee, Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, James Stewart and Gloria Stewart…these were the names that topped the lists. I found it odd that suggestions of couples such as Vivien Leigh and Laurence Oliver, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, were all knocked down. “ They divorced, they don’t qualify!” was the apparent verdict. Clark Gable and Carole Lombard? Also brushed aside."

"text": "Hollywood1942Carole Lombard killed in plane crash Share this:facebook twitter google+Print Cite On this day in 1942, the actress Carole Lombard, famous for her roles in such screwball comedies as My Man Godfrey and To Be or Not to Be, and for her marriage to the actor Clark Gable, is killed when the TWA DC-3 plane she is traveling in crashes en route from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. She was 33. Gable and Lombard met in 1932 during the filming of No Man of Her Own. He was just starting out on his trajectory as one of Hollywood’s top leading men and she was a talented comedic actress trying to prove herself in more serious roles. Both were married at the time–Gable to a wealthy Texas widow 10 years his senior and Lombard to the actor William Powell–and neither showed much interest in the other. When they met again, three years later, Lombard had divorced Powell and Gable was separated from his wife, and things proceeded quite differently. Much to the media’s delight, the new couple was open with their affection, calling each other Ma and Pa and exchanging quirky, expensive gifts. In early 1939, Gable’s wife finally granted him a divorce, and he married Lombard that April. In January 1942, shortly after America’s entrance into World War II, Howard Dietz, the publicity director of the MGM film studio, recruited Lombard for a tour to sell war bonds in her home state of Indiana. Gable, who had been asked to serve as the head of the actors’ branch of the wartime Hollywood Victory Committee, stayed in Los Angeles, where he was set to begin filming Somewhere I’ll Find You with Lana Turner."

She was the daughter of a successful dentist and his wife. In 1927, at the age of 16, she ran away from home to marry a young businessman named Charles Mc Grew, who was 23. The couple pulled up stakes and moved to Los Angeles, not long after they were married, and it was there Jean found work as an extra in films, landing a bit part in Moran of the Marines (1928). From that point on she would go to casting calls whenever she could. In 1929 she had bit parts in no less than 11 movies, playing everything from a passing woman on the street to a winged ballerina. Her marriage to Mc Grew turned out to be a disaster--it lasted barely two years--and they divorced. The divorce enabled her to put more of her efforts into finding roles in the movie business. Although she was having trouble finding roles in feature movies, she had more luck in film shorts. She had a fairly prominent role in Hal Roach 's Double Whoopee (1929)."

Translations Triangular area of wall Finnish: päätykolmio French: gable , gâble Portuguese: empena Russian: щипецSee alsopediment Extensive Definition A gable is the generally triangular portion of a wall between the edges of a sloping roof. The shape of the gable and how it is detailed depends on the structural system being used (which is often related to climate and availability of materials) and aesthetic concerns. Thus the type of roof enclosing the volume dictates the shape of the gable. In Classic Greek and Roman architecture, the analogous feature is called the tympanum . Strictly speaking, the tympanum is the infill area, often triangular, of the pediment, which also consists of the raking cornice or ends of the sloped roofs (which may appear to bear, but do not actually bear on the tympanum - the fact that many tympanum bear intricate and expensive carvings declaring the building's purpose is evidence of its non-structural role), and the cornice proper, which bears on the architrave, which in turn is supported at points by columns of a colonnade. A variation of the gable is a crow-stepped gable, which has a stair step design to accomplish the sloping portion. Crow stepped gables were used in Scotland and England as early as the seventeenth century. Examples of the crow stepped gable can be seen at Muchalls Castle and Monboddo House, both 17th century Scottish buildings. Other early examples are found in parts of Denmark and Sweden. A Gothic ornamental gable of the Cathedral architecture over the windows and portal are called in the German and Dutch language Wimperg too."

"text": "\"Gary Cooper: Oscar winner, sex symbol and the man who gave the world the name 'Gary'Gary Cooper in High Noon Credit: Rex Features Telegraph Reporters13 May 2016 • 7:27pm G ary Cooper, who was three times an Oscar winner (including for Sergeant York in 1942 and High Noon in 1953), died on May 13, 1961, aged 60. This tribute was originally published in 2001. While Clark Gable may have wrought havoc in the American undergarment industry by influencing large numbers of males to dispense with vests after he was filmed not wearing one in It Happened One Night, Gary Cooper's impact on the world was even more pervasive and long-lasting. Every one of the countless number of males christened Gary owes his first name to Cooper since, before he assumed it, this did not exist as a first name. Cooper's parents, when he was born in 1901, had had him christened Frank James. However, when their son became a movie stunt-man, his agent, one Nan Collins, told him there were already two men in the business called Frank Cooper, and offered him the alternative of Gary, the name of her home town in Indiana. As the American author and academic Jeffrey Meyers records in this hefty and meticulously researched biography, Cooper's influence was internationally pervasive, going far beyond his highly paid endorsement of tooth powder, skin powder, cigarettes, beer, cola and petrol. Gary Cooper was born in Los Angeles on May 7, 1901 Credit: Colombia Pictures handout T he coincidentally surnamed French author Romain Gary wrote a novel called Adieu, Gary Cooper. Nearly 30 years after Cooper's death in 1961, the Polish free trade union Solidarity featured him on its campaign posters. Included in the Motion Picture Herald 's top 10 from 1936-58, Cooper lays claim to having been the most popular film star of all time."

"text": "(REUTERS/Shannon Stapleton)Hands Up. Don’t Shoot!–Protesters in the aftermath of the August 2014 shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. This phrase became a rallying cry for Ferguson residents, who took to the streets to protest the fatal shooting of a black 18-year-old by a white police officer, Darren Wilson. Witness accounts spread after the shooting that Brown had his hands raised in surrender, mouthing the words “Don’t shoot” as his last words before being shot execution-style. The gesture of raised hands became a symbol of outrage over mistreatment of unarmed black youth by police. That narrative was called into question when a St. Louis County grand jury could not confirm those testimonies. And a recently released Department of Justice investigative report concluded the same. Yet the gesture continues to be used today. So we wanted to set the record straight on the DOJ’s findings, especially after The Washington Post ’s opinion writer Jonathan Capehart wrote that it was “built on a lie.” From time to time, we retroactively check statements as new information becomes available. In this case, the Justice Department has concluded that Wilson acted out of self-defense, and was justified in killing Brown."

RATINGFalse ORIGINMultiple versions of lengthy lists of deaths associated with Bill Clinton have been circulating online for about twenty years now. According to those lists, close to fifty colleagues, advisors, and citizens who were about to testify against the Clintons died in suspect circumstances, with the unstated implication being that Bill Clinton or his henchmen were behind each untimely demise. We shouldn’t have to tell anyone not to believe this claptrap, but we will anyway. In a frenzied media climate where the Chief Executive couldn’t boff a White House intern without the whole world finding out every niggling detail of each encounter and demanding his removal from office, are we seriously to believe the same man had been having double handfuls of detractors and former friends murdered with impunity? Don’t be swayed by the number of names listed on screeds like this. Any public figure is bound to have a much wider circle of acquaintance than an ordinary citizen would. Moreover, the acquaintanceship is often one-sided: though many of the people enumerated on this list might properly claim to have “known” Clinton, he wouldn’t know or remember having met a great number of them. “Body count” lists are not a new phenomenon. Lists documenting all the allegedly “suspicious” deaths of persons connected with the assassination of John F. Kennedy have been circulating for decades, and the same techniques used to create and spread the JFK lists have been employed in the Clinton version: List every dead person with even the most tenuous of connections to your subject."

S. economy, and became the first President born after World War II. Clinton easily won re-election in 1996 over Republican Bob Dole, despite several ongoing controversies. Born in Hope, Arkansas, on August 19, 1946, Clinton never knew his natural father. He had been killed in a car accident three months before his birth. In 1950, his mother married a car salesman who turned out to be a violent alcoholic that sometimes physically abused her. In 1963, while he was a senior in high school, Bill Clinton traveled to Washington, D. C., as part of Boys Nation, a special youth leadership conference. The group was invited to the White House where young Clinton shook hands with President John F. Kennedy, an event that became one of the most memorable of his youth and which sparked an early interest in entering politics. ADVERTISEMENTClinton attended Georgetown University in Washington, D. C., earning a Bachelor's degree in International Affairs, and also worked in the office of Arkansas Senator J. William Fulbright, an outspoken critic of the Vietnam War. After college, Clinton won a Rhodes Scholarship and studied government at Oxford University beginning in October 1968. Clinton was eligible for the U. S. draft and was ordered to report home to Arkansas for induction in May 1969."

But, although Starr has concluded that not all impeachable acts are necessarily criminal, he also seems to have concluded that all criminal acts are potentially impeachable, whether or not ordinary prosecutors would pursue them. The Framers of the Constitution had a different view, holding that high crimes and misdemeanors were, at the core, political offenses that subverted the constitutional structures of government. Judged by this standard, the case against the independent counsel is stronger than the case against the president of the United States.

They have all been indicted, and so can you under Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001, for lying to government agents. Poor Ms. Stewart today stands convicted of intentionally misleading the SEC and FBI officials who questioned her about insider trading with an insider. Lawyer David Safavian, who was the former head of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy under the Bush Administration, was one of several people charged for lying to, during his interview with investigative agents of GSA OIG, and the FBI about the his involvement with his former boss, Jack Abramoff, who today is a convicted felon. David didn’t do anything wrong in reality, but he did lie under oath to agents of our government. You might be just like Martha, David and Dirty Old Darleen of the Air force that did the same thing.

The following is a partial list of a large number of persons who who are presumed to be “Casualties” of the various Clinton scandals. President Clinton had promised his political supporters in Arkansas he will devote a lot of time going after detractors who pursued him on Whitewater and other ethical questions. ( USA Today, November 8, 1996). It is a partial list because new additions are added regularly as the Clinton’s consider themselves above the law and the full extent of being associated with Bill and Hillary Clinton is not completely known. The accounting of these mysterious deaths began in 1994 when in a letter to congressional leaders, former Rep. William Dannemeyer listed 24 people with some connection to Clinton who had died “under other than natural circumstances” and called for hearings on the matter. Dannemeyer’s list of “suspicious deaths” was largely taken from one compiled by Linda Thompson, an Indianapolis lawyer, containing the names of 34 people she believed died suspiciously and who had ties to the Clinton family. Some of the “Casualties” were openly murdered, but many were killed in such a way so that their deaths could be ruled accidents or suicides. This was especially true if they died in Arkansas where the medical examiners routinely ruled apparent murders as either accidents or suicides when it suited political purposes. In fact, this was so common that it was often referred to as “Arkancide” or “Arkansas Suicide”."

"text": "Citizens can generally refuse to talk to police or prosecutors, but the United State’s Attorney has figured a way around that. Federal prosecutors can serve people with a grand jury witness subpoena, a court order forcing them to appear in court to truthfully answer questions. This process is a way for prosecutors to build a case against their main targets, but it’s also one of the ways that people loosely connected to criminal activity end up charged with Federal crimes. The grand jury process is secret, confusing, and dangerous. A criminal defense attorney who understands that process can help limit the witnesses’ risk, and might even be able to secure the witness immunity. What is a Federal Grand Jury? Grand Jury Subpoena The federal grand jury is a group of 16-23 citizens who sit to consider evidence of criminal wrongdoing. A felony case can only proceed to trial if the grand jury returns an indictment, and they can only do that if at least 12 grand jurors find probable cause that the defendant committed the crime. The grand jury was devised as a check on government power, preventing the prosecution from charging cases based on lousy evidence. In practice, it does nothing of the sort."

Over the course of a year and a half, the president and Lewinsky had nearly a dozen sexual encounters in the White House. In April 1996, Lewinsky was transferred to the Pentagon. That summer, she first confided in Pentagon co-worker Linda Tripp about her sexual relationship with the president. In 1997, with the relationship over, Tripp began secretly to record conversations with Lewinsky, in which Lewinsky gave Tripp details about the affair. In December, lawyers for Paula Jones, who was suing the president on sexual harassment charges, subpoenaed Lewinsky. In January 1998, allegedly under the recommendation of the president, Lewinsky filed an affidavit in which she denied ever having had a sexual relationship with him. Five days later, Tripp contacted the office of Kenneth Starr, the Whitewater independent counsel, to talk about Lewinsky and the tapes she made of their conversations."

"text": "\"The 25 Heartbreaking Deaths Of The Harry Potter Series, Ranked By Sadness By Amy Sachs Sept 3 2015Growing up as part of the Harry Potter Generation taught us so many things. Harry, Ron, and Hermione taught us the importance of friendship. Ron and Hermione, Harry and Ginny, and so many others throughout the series taught us about love. There were lessons about magic and family and acceptance, and far too many other things to list in just one article. But one thing was for sure: As the series went on, it become abundantly clear that J. K. Rowling was going to teach her dedicated fans how to deal with the loss of some of their favorite characters. To be fair, the series starts off that way; Harry is an orphan, after all. We maybe could have seen the foreshadowing there, but we were just kids! And it got worse. It got much, much worse. Rowling made us love so many characters, only to take them away later on."

"text": "Colin Fry, medium - obituary Medium who toured the world with his 'spirit guide’ Magnus Colin Fry Photo: Rex Features7:50PM BST 30 Aug 2015Colin Fry, who has died aged 53, was a self-proclaimed medium who relayed messages from “the dead” to audiences in Australia, New Zealand, Norway and Japan; on British satellite television he featured in such “paranormal reality” shows as Most Haunted and 6ixth Sense. Viewers hoping for dire warnings from beyond the grave would be disappointed. A warm and charismatic performer, Fry’s stage pronouncements tended towards the prosaic. Bereaved grandchildren were instructed to tidy their rooms; dead parents reassured their offspring that the end had been relatively peaceful. Sceptics countered that Fry’s main talent lay in basic “cold reading” techniques – the art of analysing body language in order to make high-probability guesses about a person. In 1992 Fry was caught out at a seance when the lights were turned on unexpectedly, revealing that he was still holding a “spirit trumpet” that was meant to be suspended in mid-air. Fry later put the incident down to his relative inexperience at the time. He also denied any suggestions of exploitation, pointing to his training as a bereavement counsellor. Members of his audience were encouraged to seek professional help if Fry felt they were struggling to cope with their loss. Though he had initially refused to appear on television on the grounds that most programmes made fun of spiritualism, Fry gave in when he was approached by producers at the age of 40."

Mr Fry did not often discuss his private life, but has spoken on occasion of being the victim of childhood homophobia. He recounted: “I was always bullied. The bullies realised I was gay before I did. ”He also spoke out last year after the husband of psychic Sally Morgan was caught on camera shouting homophobic abuse at a skeptic."

Surely he must have anticipated a scenario where he may meet his end at Voldemort's hands. He must have had some backup plan, right?",
"text": "\"Claire Jordan, Editor, Harry Potter Lexicon (just started)Answered Jan 28, 2017 · Author has 12.8k answers and 30m answer views Within the universe of the book his death was unnecessary, a fluke. He wasn’t expendable - it was vital to Dumbledore’s plans that he should survive until almost the end of the battle and there was no benefit in him then dying - and in fact his death was nearly disastrous. There were other ways he could have contacted Harry - e.g. using the silver doe to set up a meeting and then having Dumbledore’s portrait vouch for him before Harry saw whom the doe belonged to - so he didn’t need to die. He only died because Voldemort worked out about the Elder Wand, only a month before the final battle. Voldie could easily not have found out about it at all. From a dramatic point of view, though, Snape’s death is part of Rowling’s grand coup de theatre. She wanted to make readers hate Snape, then shock them by showing them how wrong they’d been, and actually killing him reinforced that by making readers (many of them) feel guilty for having doubted him. It added weight to the point that even an ugly man can be a great tragic hero. It also conveniently got him out of the way (although she could also have done that by having him ill and unconscious). Any scene with Snape in it immediately becomes a scene about Snape, and she wanted the focus at the end to be on Harry."

"text": "Life After An EMP Attack: No Power, No Food, No Transportation, No Banking And No Internet September 19, 2011 by Michael Snyder Most Americans do not know this, but a single EMP attack could potentially wipe out most of the electronics in the United States and instantly send this nation back to the 1800s. If a nuclear bomb was exploded high enough in the atmosphere over the middle part of the country, the electromagnetic pulse would fry electronic devices from coast to coast. The damage would be millions of times worse than 9/11. Just imagine a world where nobody has power, most cars will not start, the Internet has been fried, the financial system is offline indefinitely, nobody can make any phone calls and virtually all commerce across the entire country is brought to a complete stop. A nation that does not know how to live without technology would be almost entirely stripped of it at that point. Yes, this could really happen. An EMP attack is America’s “Achilles heel”, and everyone around the world knows it. It is only a matter of time before someone uses an EMP weapon against us, and at this point we are pretty much completely unprepared. The sad thing is that we are spending hundreds of billions of dollars hunting down “terrorists” in caves on the other side of the globe and we have been told that because of “national security” it is necessary for our private areas to be touched before we are allowed to get on an airplane, but our government is doing essentially nothing to address what is perhaps our biggest security vulnerability.

"text": "\"Seven Actors Who Should Have Been in the 'Harry Potter' Moviesby Ethan Anderton November 21, 2010Throughout the Harry Potter franchise there have been plenty of A-list actors from across the seas who have taken part in the epic story. Since author J. K. Rowling and the producers wanted to stay as true to the books as possible, only European actors were considered for roles. Though names like Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson, Michael Gambon, Jim Broadbent, Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes are riddled throughout the wizarding series, there are plenty of stellar actors who have been left out. As the series ends, I've decided to list my seven choices of international talent who should have been cast in some roles in the epic series. It's hard to recast any of the key roles played by the younger actors like Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, so all of my choices for actors who should've appeared in the Harry Potter franchise correlate to the many supporting roles for adults. Why seven choices, you ask? Well, I figured I'd pick as many actors as there are Harry Potter books (but not necessarily movies), just for shits and giggles. So let's get started!Anthony Hopkins: Since he's portrayed one of the most vicious villains of all-time with Hannibal Lecter, you'd think he could wreak some havoc for Harry Potter, but I would actually choose to set Hopkins at the Ministry of Magic. Seeing Hopkins as a diplomatically crippled politician like Cornelius Fudge or even the newest Minister of Magic Rufus Scrimgeou r from Deathly Hallows. Hopkins would certainly have given a Shakespearean/Julius Caesar kind of feel to the government in the wizarding world."

Elba paid his dues with many supporting roles on British television, including such series as Bramwell, The Bill, Degrees of Error, The Ruth Rendell Mysteries, and The Governor. The actor grew deeply frustrated, however, over the seemingly irrepressible tendency of British casting directors to peg him in supporting roles. \"\" Back in London,\"\" he later recalled, \"\"I was always just going to be the best friend, or the crook or the detective on the side.\"\" When Elba could take no more of this, he immigrated to the United States.

Elba's performance as pusher \"\"Stringer\"\" Bell attained widespread popularity with viewers and helped put Elba on the map.

The result -- clearing Clinton while simultaneously upbraiding her for her conduct -- could help cement a legacy that shows skill in navigating some of the nation's biggest political controversies. Comey well understood, according to officials, his decision either way would influence the election. On Tuesday, Comey held a press conference with little advance notice, on the same day President Barack Obama was to campaign with Clinton in North Carolina. Comey noted that he had not told his boss, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, or any other agency in the government about his decision to not recommend charges be brought against anyone in the Clinton investigation. \"\" They do not know what I am about to say,\"\" Comey said, with about a dozen FBI agents and high-level officials who helped oversee the probe standing in the back of the room. Hillary Clinton's day of drama Indeed, very few knew, with most inside the FBI seemingly unaware of what he was about to say. The notice to the press only saying Comey would \"\"speak to reporters\"\" with no topic disclosed. Senior law enforcement officials described the deliberations inside the FBI and Justice Department in recent months for this account. The FBI said Comey's remarks were the only ones that would be made public."

"text": "Black Democrats to Obama: Pick Lynch for Supreme Court By Alexander Bolton - 02/27/16 10:25 AM EST 4640© Haiyun Jiang Black lawmakers in Congress are urging President Obama to make history by nominating Attorney General Loretta Lynch to the Supreme Court. Lynch, if confirmed, would become the first African-American woman to serve as a justice. She would also be the first African-American appointed by a Democratic president since Thurgood Marshall, an influential liberal who retired in 1991. ADVERTISEMENT Members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) argue the court’s only African-American justice, Clarence Thomas, who was nominated by George H. W. Bush in 1991, doesn’t represent the interests of their constituents. “I would love to see him appoint Loretta Lynch. She’s already been vetted. She meets the criteria that he’s laid out. She would certainly be my recommendation,” said Elijah Cummings, a senior member of the CBC. Cummings noted that African-American women voters helped Obama win the presidency. “African American women have played a major role in our electoral process."

"text": "Mike Mc Quade Looking for news you can trust? Subscribe to our free newsletters. On Friday, FBI Director James Comey set off a political blast when he informed congressional leaders that the bureau had stumbled across emails that might be pertinent to its completed inquiry into Hillary Clinton’s handling of emails when she was secretary of state. The Clinton campaign and others criticized Comey for intervening in a presidential campaign by breaking with Justice Department tradition and revealing information about an investigation—information that was vague and perhaps ultimately irrelevant—so close to Election Day. On Sunday, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid upped the ante. He sent Comey a fiery letter saying the FBI chief may have broken the law and pointed to a potentially greater controversy: “In my communications with you and other top officials in the national security community, it has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors, and the Russian government…The public has a right to know this information. ”Reid’s missive set off a burst of speculation on Twitter and elsewhere. What was he referring to regarding the Republican presidential nominee? At the end of August, Reid had written to Comey and demanded an investigation of the “connections between the Russian government and Donald Trump’s presidential campaign,” and in that letter he indirectly referred to Carter Page, an American businessman cited by Trump as one of his foreign policy advisers, who had financial ties to Russia and had recently visited Moscow. Last month, Yahoo News reported that US intelligence officials were probing the links between Page and senior Russian officials. ("

"text": "James Comey Acting FBI head disputes White House claim Comey had lost staff support Andrew Mc Cabe tells Senate the White House’s assertion that fired director James Comey had lost the confidence of the FBI rank and file ‘is not accurate’Julian Borger in Washington Thu 11 May 2017 12.30 EDT13.44 ESTThis article is over 11 months old2,906 1,341Play Video0:00/0:00Loaded Progress Fullscreen Mute This video is no longer available. Acting FBI director Andrew Mc Cabe refutes claims that staff lost faith in Comey. Photograph: Eric Thayer/Reuters The acting head of the FBI has said that James Comey, the bureau’s director fired by Donald Trump, enjoyed broad support among its staff – directly contradicting the White House’s assertion that he had lost the confidence of the FBI rank and file. When confronted with the Trump administration’s claim of Comey’s unpopularity, Andrew Mc Cabe – who has been the FBI’s acting director since the sacking – told the Senate intelligence committee: “That is not accurate. ”“I can tell you that I worked very, very closely with Director Comey,” Mc Cabe said on Thursday, pointing out he had worked as his executive assistant director of national security and then his deputy. Is Comey's dismissal a cover-up? Donald Trump, the first US president since Richard Nixon to fire the person leading an investigation that bears on him, is certainly acting like a man with something to hide. The White House claims Comey was fired for mishandling an inquiry into Hillary Clinton’s emails and that Trump had been losing confidence in him since the election. But few find this explanation credible, given that Trump previously praised Comey for showing “guts” in his scrutiny of Clinton. Critics say the true motive was Comey’s refusal to drop the FBI's inquiry into possible links between Trump’s associates and Russia during last year’s election campaign."

James Comey was dismissed from his post as FBI director, the White House said, on the recommendation of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions. They cited Comey's handling of the probe into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server, a controversy that many believe helped Trump defeat the Democratic nominee in the 2016 presidential election. At a glance, Comey, a career prosecutor, is an unlikely candidate to take center stage in the most charged political drama of this generation, but history shows he has a tendency to turn up in the headlines. Here are seven things to know about James Comey: He delivered an unprecedented \"\"October Surprise\"\" last year Comey announced on October 28, 2016 -- less than two weeks before the presidential election -- that the bureau would investigate more emails potentially related to Hillary Clinton's private server. The news sent a jolt through the political world, setting off alarm and anger among Democrats who worried the news would swing the election to Trump. Clinton has said she believes Comey's decision did just that, saying last week, \"\"If the election had been on October 27, I would be your president.\"\" Still, when Comey's dismissal was made public late Tuesday, former Clinton staffers, many of whom had been harshly critical of Comey, suggested on Twitter that Trump's decision was politically motivated."

The FBI has been quiet, but now we have learned it’s for good reason! As sources inform Fox News’ Catherine Herridge (below), Hillary Clinton is about to be in serious trouble!As Rep. Mike Pompeo, who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, told Fox News:“I can assure you the intelligence committee is working on determining the scope of any breaches that may have resulted from the improper handling of classified information, and the damage assessments that go with them. I think we all understand that we had classified information in channels that weren’t secure on Secretary Clinton’s homebrew server and that risk was associated with that. ”Then, Herridge explains how her sources are focused on how “federal regulations require damage assessments after classified information is outside secure government channels, such as a personal server. ”Therefore, if Pompeo is correct, then the FBI is focused on determining internally what classified information was mishandled… Which it clearly was, as the documents included more than 22 emails that were “top secret and above.” Once that is investigation is complete, the FBI will have no other choice but to go after Hillary Clinton. This is a political earthquake that could change the entire 2016 presidential campaign: Via Fox News Follow this story to get email or text alerts from The Political Insider when there is a future article following this storyline.

In 2004, Comey, then serving as a deputy attorney general in the Justice Department, apparently limited the scope of the criminal investigation of Sandy Berger, which left out former Clinton administration officials who may have coordinated with Berger in his removal and destruction of classified records from the National Archives. The documents were relevant to accusations that the Clinton administration was negligent in the build-up to the 9/11 terrorist attack. On Tuesday, Comey announced that despite evidence of “extreme negligence by Hillary Clinton and her top aides regarding the handling of classified information through a private email server, the FBI would not refer criminal charges to Attorney General Loretta Lynch and the Justice Department. Curiously, Berger, Lynch and Cheryl Mills all worked as partners in the Washington law firm Hogan & Hartson, which prepared tax returns for the Clintons and did patent work for a software firm that played a role in the private email server Hillary Clinton used when she was secretary of state."

"text": "Is Trump going after Hillary and the Podestas with sealed indictments? Posted on November 11, 2017 by Dr. Eowyn | 31 Comments An indictment is a formal accusation that a person has committed a crime. In the United States, an indictment typically is issued by a grand jury based upon a proposed charge, witnesses’ testimony and other evidence presented by the public prosecutor (District Attorney). In order to issue an indictment, the grand jury doesn’t make a determination of guilt, but only the probability that a crime was committed, that the accused person did it and that he/she should be tried. District Attorneys do not present a full case to the grand jury, but often only introduce key facts sufficient to show the probability that the accused committed a crime. The substance of an indictment usually consists of a short and plain statement of where, when, and how the defendant allegedly committed the offense. Each offense usually is set out in a separate count. Indictments for complex crimes, particularly those involving conspiracy, may run to hundreds of pages. Indictable offenses are normally tried by jury, unless the accused waives the right to a jury trial. Although the U. S. Constitution’s Sixth Amendment mandates the right to a jury trial in any criminal prosecution, the vast majority of criminal cases in the United States are resolved by the plea-bargaining process."

"text": "\"US President and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Barack Obama, right recieves his medal and diploma from the the Chairman of the Nobel committee Thorbjorn Jagland, left at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony at City Hall in Oslo, Thursday, Dec. 10, ... more >Print By Meghan Bartlett - The Washington Times - Wednesday, September 16, 2015The former director of Norway’s Nobel Institute revealed this week that he regrets the committee’s decision to give the 2009 Nobel Peace award to President Obama. Geil Lundestad, director at the institute for 25 years, said in his just-published memoir that he and the committee had unanimously decided to grant the award to Mr. Obama just after his election in 2009 more in hopes of aiding the American president to achieve his goals on nuclear disarmament, rather than in recognition of what Mr. Obama had already accomplished. Looking back over Mr. Obama’s presidency, Mr. Lundestad said, granting him the award did not fulfill the committee’s expectations.“ [ We] thought it would strengthen Obama and it didn’t have this effect,” he told the Associated Press in an interview. The award so early in his term appeared to take the Obama White House by surprise, and Mr. Lundestad said U. S. officials privately asked if a Nobel Prize-winner had ever skipped the awards ceremony. Normally the Nobel committee’s decision regarding recipients remains private, and Mr. Lundestad ’s frank and revealing remarks regarding internal decisions have caused a stir in Norway, detailing the politicking and compromises that have gone into determining the annual laureate. “Even many of Obama’s supporters thought that the prize was a mistake,” Mr. Lundestad said. In the book, he expressed regret that the decision had been based in a hope for the future rather than recognition of past accomplishments, and that their expectations for Mr. Obama were not fulfilled.

Eleven days before the 2016 presidential election, Comey announced that the FBI had discovered additional emails and is reviewing them to see whether they are related to the bureau's investigation into Clinton's handling of classified information. Here's what you need to know -- and how it might affect Clinton, Donald Trump and the presidential race: Why is this happening now? It started with the FBI's investigation into Anthony Weiner, the disgraced former New York congressman who was caught over the summer exchanging lewd and sexually suggestive messages with a 15-year-old girl. Weiner's estranged wife is Clinton adviser Huma Abedin. And in their look into Weiner's sexting allegations, which began on September 22, investigators from the FBI's New York field office discovered Abedin's emails on Weiner's laptop -- with initial data showing those emails went through Clinton's server. It was enough to lead FBI Director James Comey to conclude the emails would need to be reviewed to see if he'd need to reopen the investigation he'd closed in July on whether Clinton kept classified information on the private email server she used during her tenure as secretary of state. Comey was made aware of the emails' existence by mid-October, law enforcement sources have said. He was given a full briefing on Thursday. Comey decided Friday after a series of \"\"long grueling meetings\"\" with top FBI executives that the FBI needed to review to see whether the emails were related to its investigation into Clinton's server, and a letter would be sent to Congress about the development, a law enforcement source told CNN."

"text": "\"Rep. John Culberson, Texas Republican, demanded earlier this year that Attorney General Lorretta E. Lynch take action against sanctuary cities, which the Justice Department has found violate federal laws. ( Associated Press) more >Print By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Thursday, July 7, 2016The Justice Department said Thursday it has warned sanctuary cities to quit shielding illegal immigrants from deportation agents or else lose federal grant money, putting some muscle behind Republicans’ push to punish cities and counties that have refused to cooperate. That could prevent future situations like the Kate Steinle case, where an illegal immigrant was released by the sheriff’s department in San Francisco despite a request that he be held for deportation. The man would go on to kill Steinle, according to authorities, as she walked on the city waterfront with her father. Justice officials confirmed the move in a letter to Rep. John Abney Culberson, Texas Republican and chairman of a key spending subcommittee, who had demanded action from Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch earlier this year. Under the new guidance, local authorities don’t have to track down illegal immigrants, nor are they required to inquire about someone’s status. But when the government requests information, or when a local officer wants to report someone, the communications can’t be barred, the Justice Department ruled in its new guidance. That could include situations when U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement asks to be notified when someone they want to deport is being released from a local prison or jail — such as in the Steinle case. Jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate would lose funding under Justice Assistance Grants and the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program, which provide hundreds of millions of dollars a year to local law enforcement. “Sanctuary cities are a hub for illegal aliens and criminal activity, and we’ve seen the tragic results of these policies time and time again,” Mr. Culberson said. “"

"text": "/ wikileaks July 29, 2016 1:36 pm Does Julian Assange Really Have an Email That Will Get Hillary Clinton Tossed in Prison? ( Updated)By Jesse Singal Share Tweet Photo: Carl Court/Justin Sullivan/Getty Images Julian Assange, the founder and head of Wiki Leaks, has laid his cards on the table: He views it as his mission to do what he can to prevent Hillary Clinton from becoming president of the United States of America. And his reasons aren’t just political, as Charlie Savage wrote earlier this week in the New York Times: In an interview with Robert Peston of ITV on June 12, Savage wrote, Assange “suggested that he not only opposed her candidacy on policy grounds, but also saw her as a personal foe. ”Recently, the internet rumor mill has been circulating an enticing possibility for those rooting for an Assange takedown of Clinton: Assange says that he has, in his possession, an email or emails that will offer “enough evidence” — that’s the simple, two-word quote that is repeated over and over and over, everywhere — for authorities to indict Clinton. If you Google “Clinton Assange indictment,” the headlines scream off the screen, each more excitable than the last: “Democrat Scandal: Julian Assange Claims New Leaks Will Send Hillary Clinton to Prison Over Campaign to Destroy Bernie Sanders,”“ BREAKING: Wiki Leaks founder Julian Assange says his next leak will virtually guarantee an indictment of Hillary Clinton,”“Julian Assange: My Next Leak Will Ensure Hillary’s Arrest,” and so on. ( Disclosure: My brother does data analysis for the Clinton campaign. ) Suffice it to say, this would be a big deal. If Hillary Clinton got indicted, it would virtually hand the election to Donald Trump. But after the millions of dollars Republican members of Congress spent investigating the Benghazi attacks, the yearlong FBI inquiry into Clinton’s use of a private, non-secure server for emails that led to that agency’s director, James Comey, publicly reprimanding Clinton as “extremely careless” but declining to press charges, and the endless scrutiny of the Clinton Foundation’s finances, what could such an email possibly contain? Or maybe that’s the wrong question to be asking."

They discounted him until he won the nomination, but will remain satisfied as long as Trump maintains a good habitat for the alligators. What really matters: Trump's impeachment—-or not—-will depend on what his populist base thinks. The election taught that the U.

"text": "\"Jean Paul Sartre's Existentialism as Answer to Existential Crisis by Hatto Fischer Ronald Aronson wrote in: \"\"Jean-Paul Sartre at 100: Still troubling us today\"\" (published in International Herald Tribune, June 22, 2005\"\" that Sartre continues to irrate and to annoy because the truth is not perceived to be on either the side of determinists or those who claim absolute freedom, and therefore Sartre demands \"\"that we see ourselves as active agents, even when we might prefer the irresponsibility of seeing ourselves as victims\"\". Thus some further thoughts about Sartre on his 100 thbirthday were written a few days after having read Ronald Aronson's contribution on June 26, 2005. Of interest is that Albert Camus 100th birthday followed in 2013, and this coincided with Marseilles being European Capital of Culture with reference to that Camus legacy which includes a broken friendship with Sartre. And ever since the debates have been divided due to different parties taking sides with only the one or other thinker / writer. Existentialism can be defined by formulating a simple puzzle: “Now you exist! Now you don't!” How can that be? If compared to the play of a child which puts the hands in front of the own eyes, it can say that the other does see it and hence it does not exist. If blending out of reality as a deep, but unfulfilled wish can be ascribed to Existentialism as its prime motor, then that would reflect Sartre's philosophy stating that the existence of things depends on own decisions, but only – and that is an important qualification - as far as the imagination is concerned. Decisions in relation to the imagination can become an insistence that this exists but not that!"

Answer by Edwardloverr Confidence votes 17Thomas Paine wrote a pamphlet in 1776, Common Sense you might have heard of it from our history books. It was a pro-independence monograph pamphlet Paine published anonymously and within three months sold 100,000 copies throughout the American British colonies. It caused quite the controversy all over and attracted many with its simplicity of its style. The controversy was caused with the shock of the readers when they read Paine's undisguised hostility towards the British monarchy. Paine even went far as to label king George the III as \"\"the Royal Brute of Great Britain\"\". Common sense was very popular, the number of people converted to independence because of the pamphlet is unknown. Paine's arguments were barley used in public calls for Independence which suggests that Common Sense may have had a more limited impact on the fight for independence then sometimes believed. Personally i think Paine had a lot of guts publishing Common sense, even though he published it anonymously."

"text": "\"M Y DEAR L ORD B ISHOP,There have been, as I need not remind you, two judgments of the highest Court of Appeal, bearing more or less directly on the position of the celebrant at the Holy Communion. And the present Lord Chancellor, who himself had to deliver one of these judgments, as presiding member of the Court, is reported in the Times to have said of them, in the House of Lords, and, I believe, in your L ORD ship's hearing, on the 4th of June last, as follows:\"\"Everyone knows how extremely difficult it is for any person--for any layman, perhaps for any lawyer--to be satisfied that these two decisions are reconcilable with each other. ( Cheers.) Moreover, in one of those cases no defence was made, and only one side was heard. These decisions cannot, I think, be regarded as final. \"\" These are the words of one whom, quite irrespective of his high official position, men of all classes and opinions unite in regarding as a pre-eminent authority on all questions of law. It is hardly, therefore, to be wondered at that decisions, spoken of so disparagingly by such a person, should have failed to command the general adherence and submission of the clergy. In one, however, of the two judgments referred to, viz., that in the Purchas case, which is evidently the one intended by the Chancellor to be the special mark for his animadversion, there were very peculiar grounds for distrust and dissatisfaction. If, indeed, universal opinion is to be relied on, this decision was meant to have a certain theological, as well as ritual, significance, which would not only give it the effect of ostracising a very considerable number of the most loyal, orthodox and moderate, not to say learned and laborious, of the existing body of the clergy, but would also make it practically condemn and stultify the very revisers of the Prayer Book themselves, of whose minds and words it claims to be only the faithful expositor and interpreter."

Answered Oct 18, 2016 · Author has 948 answers and 1.9m answer views Aristotle didn’t believe in anything. He looked at the world, described what happened, and analyzed the information presented to discern the answers to a great many philosophical questions. He started with physical phenomena, and progressed from those phenomena to infer meaning and events beyond what can be observed through human senses. All of his beliefs were logically deduced, though he did make errors here and there. Much like Howard Stark, he was limited by the technology of his time. Christians, specifically Thomas Aquinas, adopted the final point in his Metaphysics, that of the Unmoved Mover and First Cause, and identified that idea as God. For Aristotle, this “God” was known and described as the first thing that moved, the thing that moved without being moved by anything prior. He was talking about the start of the universe, which must exist if the universe has a beginning (a common view at the time was that the universe always had, and always would exist)."

"text": "\"home > net.mind > Rants >Nauseous vs. Nauseated: If you're feeling nauseous, don't come near me!posted 2000-May-1Another pedantic rant (brought to my attention by my erudite sister Chandra). So often people see something gross, start feeling sick, and say, \"\"Oh my, I feel nauseous! \"\" When one feels like vomiting, one feels NAUSEATED. When something causes nausea, that thing is said to be NAUSEOUS. The American Heritage English Dictionary sez:nauseous Causing nausea; sickeningnauseated To be feeling, or having been caused to feel nausea. So, next time you are tempted to say \"\"I feel nauseous\"\", understand that you are saying \"\"I feel that I make other people sick\"\", or basically \"\"I feel nauseating\"\". Not that it's never correct to say \"\"I feel nauseous\"\". For example, if you fell in a pile of human entrails and got up with various bits of human anatomy draped around your body, you would probably be correct in calling yourself nauseous. ( But you'd probably also be nauseated, and I suspect your pending loss of lunch would still be the emotion you'd want to describe instead of caring how you made other people feel. ) In writing this rant, I looked up the actual definitions above, and in doing so found this Usage Note: Traditional critics have insisted that nauseous is appropriately used only to mean \"\"causing nausea\"\" and that it is incorrect to use it to mean \"\"affected with nausea,\"\" as in Roller coasters make me nauseous."

"text": "Francis Bacon, in full Francis Bacon, Viscount Saint Alban, also called (1603–18) Sir Francis Bacon, (born January 22, 1561, York House, London, England—died April 9, 1626, London), lord chancellor of England (1618–21). A lawyer, statesman, philosopher, and master of the English tongue, he is remembered in literary terms for the sharp worldly wisdom of a few dozen essays; by students of constitutional history for his power as a speaker in Parliament and in famous trials and as James I’s lord chancellor; and intellectually as a man who claimed all knowledge as his province and, after a magisterial survey, urgently advocated new ways by which man might establish a legitimate command over nature for the relief of his estate. Life Youth and early maturity Bacon was born January 22, 1561, at York House off the Strand, London, the younger of the two sons of the lord keeper, Sir Nicholas Bacon, by his second marriage. Nicholas Bacon, born in comparatively humble circumstances, had risen to become lord keeper of the great seal. Francis’ cousin through his mother was Robert Cecil, later earl of Salisbury and chief minister of the crown at the end of Elizabeth I’s reign and the beginning of James I’s. From 1573 to 1575 Bacon was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, but his weak constitution caused him to suffer ill health there. His distaste for what he termed “unfruitful” Aristotelian philosophy began at Cambridge. From 1576 to 1579 Bacon was in France as a member of the English ambassador’s suite. He was recalled abruptly after the sudden death of his father, who left him relatively little money. Bacon remained financially embarrassed virtually until his death."

Most of what he said that evening was to be expected from a Republican.

They will see that people are born into certain groups and that they join others. They will explore the circumstances that surround group affiliation and participation. In general, people are born into certain groups based on their personal, social, and cultural surroundings. People also voluntarily join groups based on shared occupations, beliefs, or interests. Membership in these groups influences how people think of themselves and how others think of them. ( Science for All Americans, pp. 91–93 .)

Researchers from five universities presented studies that suggest the field's understandings of the structure and functioning of the mind may be rooted in a set of centuries-old Western philosophical assumptions about what it means to be a person or a group member in an individualist-oriented society. Psychological research may have mistaken specific cultural twists for universal principles because most of the research subjects, as well as the researchers over the past 50 years, have been Americans or Europeans. \"\" This wasn't a problem until we began to take very seriously the old idea that individual minds are always social minds,\"\" said Hazel Markus, a Stanford professor of psychology who organized the session. \"\" You don't have minds without cultural participation. We are moving away from the idea that the mind is like a computer that is the same wherever it goes and no matter what it processes. \"\" Minds are created and maintained, she said, by individuals' participation in various social worlds - worlds \"\"based on our country of origin, region of the country, ethnicity, religion, gender, profession. \"\"\"\" These worlds don't just tell us what to think and feel and do,\"\" Markus said, \"\"they structure how we think, feel and behave. Our social worlds are organized by some culture-specific meanings and practices, and very often these are so much a part of everyday life that they are invisible to us. \"\" In addition to Markus, the researchers who presented some of their work in this area were: Phoebe Ellsworth, a psychologist at the University of Michigan, whose recent work explores Chinese and American interpretations of basic social interactions;Anne Fernald, a child development psychologist at Stanford, whose recent work has focused on mother-child interactions in Japanese and American settings;Shinobu Kitayama, a social psychologist at Kyoto University, who recently has examined self-esteem in Asia and North America;Joan Miller, a psychologist at Yale, whose recent work explores the interpersonal tradeoffs between living in a culture that emphasizes individuality and one that stresses people's interdependence;Richard Shweder, a cultural anthropologist at the University of Chicago, whose recent work focuses on how everyday behavior reflects moral values imbedded in cultures."

The ordinance, passed by Congress in July 1787, was significant in providing a framework for theadmission of territories into the Union as states. A government composed of a governor, a secretary, and three judges appointed by Congress was established in the region north of the Ohio River. When the population of the territory reached 5,000, the inhabitants were authorized to elect a legislature and to be represented in the House of Representatives by a nonvoting member. When a designated area of the territory had 60,000 residents, that area could seek to become a state by complying with the requirements of the ordinance.

It was a law that established a plan for surveying and selling the federally owned lands west of the Appalachian mountains. ----- Following the American Revolution a number of states ceded to the federal government their claims to land lying west of the Appalachian Mountains. The cessions eased the worries of landless states, cooled tensions between states with overlapping land claims, and relieved the states of war debts. In turn, the federal government had to determine what to do with the ceded land. The Land Ordinance of 1785 laid the foundation for future American land policy. After the Indian title had been purchased, the ceded lands were to be systematically surveyed, prior to sale or settlement, into townships. Of the thirty-six sections of 640 acres in each township, the sixteenth was reserved \"\"for the maintenance of public schools.\"\""

"text": "Northwest Ordinance of 1787: Purpose, Summary, and Significance What was the Northwest Ordinance of 1787? Considered to be one of the most important pieces of legislation passed by the Congress of the Confederation of the United States, it established a sovereign Federal government, and the westward expansion of the nation through admission of new states. In this article, we shall summarize the significance, purpose, and other facts behind the drafting of this ordinance. Did You Know? The Shawnee and Miami Tribes opposed the plans of the Northwest ordinance, and attacked white settlers who came to Ohio. After the death of over 800 Americans, President George Washington got involved personally in raising a large federal army, which was used to eventually defeat the Native Indians at the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794. Summary of the 1787 Northwest Ordinance Considered as one of the most significant acts of the Continental Congress in regards to public domain lands, paling in significance only to the Declaration of Independence, the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, also known as ' An Ordinance for the Government of the Territory of the United States, Northwest of the River Ohio', was a law which created the Northwest Territory, the first region organized under the new government of the United States, which stretched from the Ohio river to the Mississippi river, and the areas around the great lakes to encompass what is today, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and some parts of Minnesota. Preceded by the Northwest Ordinances of 1784 and 1785, which divided the new land into self-governing districts, and facilitated scientific surveys, the Ordinance of 1787 set up how the United States would expand towards the west, and how new states would be added to the U. S. The continuously increasing number of settlers arriving in the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin prompted the Ohio Land Company to obtain vast tracts of land in the northwest region, which made Congress pass the law. The law was based on guidelines provided by Thomas Jefferson, which catered to the creation of three to five new states, and provisions for education, civil rights, and the exclusion of slavery. Purpose of the Ordinance The primary purpose of the ordinance was to create the Northwest Territory as the first organized region of the fledging United States, out of the areas close to the Great Lakes, and to the north and west of the Ohio river."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The United States of America was created on July 4, 1776, with the declaration of independence of thirteen British colonies. Their independence was recognized by Great Britain with the Treaty of Paris of 1783, following the American Revolutionary War. This effectively doubled the size of the colonies, now able to stretch west past the Proclamation Line to the Mississippi River. This land was organized into territories and then states, though there remained some conflict with the sea-to-sea grants claimed by some of the original colonies. In time, these grants were ceded to the federal government. The first great expansion of the country came with the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, which doubled the country's territory, but brought it into minor conflict with the colonies of Spain which eventually resulted in the acquisition of Spanish Florida. [ 1] The Oregon Country gave the United States access to the Pacific Ocean, though it was shared for a time with the United Kingdom. [ 2] The annexation of the Republic of Texas in 1845 led directly to the Mexican-American War, after which the victorious United States obtained the northern half of Mexico 's territory, including what was quickly made the state of California. [ 3] However, as the development of the country moved west, the question of slavery became too much to ignore, as there was a struggle to keep the number of northern abolitionist states equal to the number of southern slave states, with vigorous debate over whether the new territories would allow slavery and events such as the Missouri Compromise and Bleeding Kansas. This came to a head in 1860 and 1861, when the governments of the southern states proclaimed their secession from the country and formed the Confederate States of America."

Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The Land Ordinance of 1785 was adopted by the United States Congress on May 20, 1785. Under the Articles of Confederation, Congress did not have the power to raise revenue by direct taxation of the inhabitants of the United States. Therefore, the immediate goal of the ordinance was to raise money through the sale of land in the largely unmapped territory west of the original colonies acquired from Britain at the end of the Revolutionary War. In addition, the act provided for the political organization of these territories. The earlier Ordinance of 1784 called for the land west of the Appalachian Mountains, north of the Ohio River and east of the Mississippi River to be divided into ten separate states. However, it did not define the mechanism by which the land would become states, or how the territories would be governed or settled before they became states. The Ordinance of 1785, along with the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, were intended to address these political needs. The 1785 ordinance laid the foundations of land policy in the United States of America until passage of the Homestead Act in 1862. The Land Ordinance established the basis for the Public Land Survey System."

The idea of the fugitive slave law was derived from the Fugitive Slave Clause which is in the United States Constitution ( Article IV, Section 2, Paragraph 3). It was thought that forcing states to deliver escaped slaves to slave owners violated states' rights due to state sovereignty and was believed that seizing state property should not be left up to the states. The Fugitive Slave Clause states that escaped slaves \"\"shall be delivered up on Claim of the Party to whom such Service or Labour may be due\"\", which abridged state rights because retrieving slaves was a form of retrieving private property. [ 1] After the Compromise of 1850, the Supreme Court made slavery a protected institution and arranged a series of laws that allowed slavery in the new territories and forced officials in Free States to give a hearing to slaveholders without a jury.

"text": "\"SUMMARY. The Civil War began on April 12, 1861, when South Carolina troops fired on the federal Fort Sumter in Charleston. That momentous event, however, was but one important milestone in the conflict over slavery in America. It is probably safe to say that the struggle began in 1619 when the first slaves were offloaded from a Spanish ship in the Jamestown, Virginia colony. The fate of those early slaves remains obscure, but we do know that within 50 years, permanent lifetime slavery for African-Americans brought to America was established. Protests against slavery began in the late 1600s when the Quaker church condemned slavery, yet the practice continued through the American Revolution. After 1776, as many of the states considered the meaning of Jefferson's words that “all men are created equal,” however, the elimination of slavery began in the North. Slavery was also prohibited in territories belonging to the new nation under the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. After 1800 the cotton economy in the South gave new life to the institution of slavery as slave labor became ever more valuable. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 up held the balance between slave states and free states while prohibiting slavery north of the 36°30' parallel."

The measures provided for the admission of Maine as a free state along with Missouri as a slave state, thus maintaining the balance of power between North and South. As part of the compromise, slavery was prohibited north of the 36°30′ parallel, excluding Missouri. President James Monroe signed the legislation on March 6, 1820. [ 1]Earlier, on February 3, 1819, Representative James Tallmadge Jr., a Jeffersonian Republican from New York, submitted two amendments to Missouri's request for statehood, which included restrictions on slavery. Southerners objected to any bill which imposed federal restrictions on slavery, believing that slavery was a state issue settled by the Constitution. However, with the Senate evenly split at the opening of the debates, both sections possessing 11 states, the admission of Missouri would give the South an advantage. Northern critics including Federalists and Democratic-Republicans objected to the expansion of slavery into the Louisiana Purchase territory on the Constitutional inequalities of the three-fifths rule, which conferred Southern representation in the federal government, derived from a states' slave population."

"text": "\"Virginia-West Virginia Boundaryin 1860, the Trans-Allegheny District of western Virginia was divided into Northwest and Southwest districts Map Source: US Geological Survey (USGS), National Atlas Sectional disputes in Virginia have included intense conflicts between northern Virginia (once owned by Lord Fairfax) and the rest of Virginia south of the Northern Neck, bitter competition between Richmond/Petersburg and Norfolk (including Petersburg arranging for the physical destruction of a railroad that diverted Roanoke River basin traffic to Norfolk), and expensive rivalries between Potomac River vs. James River communities that led the state towards bankruptcy due to excessive investment in competing canals/railroads. Only twice have those sectional disputes resulted in the division of Virginia, forming separate states. Virginia officials ultimately sponsored the conversion of its southwestern county of Kentucky into a new state in 1792. In contrast to the creation of Kentucky, the formation of West Virginia was more acrimonious. After Virginia seceded from the Union, the western counties essentially seceded from Virginia, ultimately reducing the size of \"\"old Virginia\"\" by over 1/3. On April 16, 1861, three days after the fall of Fort Sumter in South Carolina, the New York Times predicted that Virginia would split if the state seceded: 1The first effect would be a division of the State into two distinct communities, from the same antipathies that have parted the North and the South. In half of Virginia to-day, and on an area of 31,500 square miles, there are only 28,000 slaves, with a white population of 450,000. If we make the division on the line between territories in which Freedom and Slavery are respectively the paramount interests, the former would take two-thirds of the territory and an equal proportion of the white population. The members from the free West, bordering on the Ohio River, have already proclaimed that the moment the ordinance of Secession is passed, they will raise the standard of revolt, in which they would be sustained by the whole force of the Federal Government. The question was not \"\"will the western part of Virginia split off\"\" but \"\"where will the new state boundary be drawn? \"\""

The question became hot after Ohio revived it in 1832 by deciding to create a city (now Toledo) at the mouth of the Maumee River in the \"\"Toledo Strip.\"\" Both Michigan and Ohio called out the militia and issued thundering proclamations in the comic-opera \"\"Toledo War.\"\" The country was amused, but the administration at Washington squirmed with embarrassment and hastily dispatched peace commissioners.

W. Norton and Co. List Price: $29.95Read an Excerpt In 1854, Sen. Stephen Douglas forced the Kansas-Nebraska Act through Congress. The bill, which repealed the Missouri Compromise of 1820, also opened up a good portion of the Midwest to the possible expansion of slavery. Douglas' political rival, former Illinois Congressman Abraham Lincoln, was enraged by the bill. He scheduled three public speeches in the fall of 1854, in response. The longest of those speeches — known as the Peoria Speech — took three hours to deliver. In it, Lincoln aired his grievances over Douglas' bill and outlined his moral, economic, political and legal arguments against slavery. But like many Americans, Lincoln was unsure what to do once slavery ended. \"\" Lincoln said during the Civil War that he had always seen slavery as unjust. He said he couldn't remember when he didn't think that way — and there's no reason to doubt the accuracy or sincerity of that statement,\"\" explains historian Eric Foner. \"\" The problem arises with the next question: What do you do with slavery, given that it's unjust?"

However, their numbers soon alarmed the authorities, who prohibited further immigration in 1830. In 1834 General Antonio López de Santa Anna established a dictatorship in Mexico, and the following year Texans revolted. Santa Anna defeated the American rebels at the celebrated siege of the Alamo in early 1836, but Texans under Sam Houston destroyed the Mexican Army and captured Santa Anna a month later at the Battle of San Jacinto, ensuring Texan independence. For almost a decade, Texas remained an independent republic, largely because its annexation as a huge new slave state would disrupt the increasingly precarious balance of political power in the United States. In 1845, President James K. Polk, narrowly elected on a platform of westward expansion, brought the Republic of Texas into the Union. Polk’s move was the first gambit in a larger design. Texas claimed that its border with Mexico was the Rio Grande; Mexico argued that the border stood far to the north along the Nueces River. Meanwhile, settlers were flooding into the territories of New Mexico and California."

After the last ice age, these people migrated across the land bridge Alaska shared with Asia and settled in the Northeast. They lived a nomadic lifestyle, surviving by hunting animals and gathering plants and nuts. They migrated to different locations throughout the year in search of food and made camps in river and stream valleys. Using primitive weapons and moving with the seasons, the Paleo-Indians learned to survive in the harsh Northeastern weather and were able to sustain themselves for thousands of years.

"text": "\"The New England Colonies Share Tweet Post Next Outline Massachusetts Bay Colony In the early seventeenth century, the Puritan community was divided into two groups: Separatist Puritans and non-Separatist Puritans. Separatist Puritans saw themselves as different from the corrupt English society around them. Disillusioned with the Anglican Church and by the King’s challenge to their beliefs, they fled to the New World in the beginning of the seventeenth century. They established what they felt were ideal Christian communities at Plymouth, Salem, Dover, and Portsmouth. By contrast, moderate, non-Separatist Puritans remained in England because they believed that they could still reform the church from the inside. In 1603, moderate Puritans in England hoped the new monarch, James I, would be sympathetic to their views, since he had been raised in Calvinist Scotland. Although this did not prove to be the case, the Puritans still tried to work within the religious system while he was king. In 1629, James’ son, King Charles I, dismissed Parliament and allowed the anti-Puritan Archbishop of Canterbury, William Laud, to tighten royal control over the church. He removed ministers with Puritan tendencies and threatened church elders who harbored such ministers. With these increasing pressures from the crown, the non-Separatist Puritans no longer felt they could remain in England within the Anglican fold and decided to migrate to the New World."

Prior to English colonization of the area, it was inhabited by a variety of mainly Algonquian language indigenous tribes. The first permanent English settlement in New England came in 1620 with the founding of Plymouth Colony by the Pilgrims who sailed on the Mayflower. It set precedents but never grew large. A large-scale Puritan migration began in 1630 with the establishment of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and spawned the settlement of other New England colonies. Friction with the natives erupted in the high-casualty King Philip's War in the 1670s. Puritanism was the established religion and was strictly enforced; dissenters were exiled. The Colony clashed with Anglican opponents in England over its religious intolerance and the status of its charter. Most people were farmers. Businessmen established wide-ranging trade links, sending ships to the West Indies and Europe, and sometimes shipping goods in violation of the Navigation Acts."

The Stamp Act of 1765 (short title Duties in American Colonies Act 1765; 5 George III, c. 12) was an Act of the Parliament of Great Britain that imposed a direct tax on the colonies of British America and required that many printed materials in the colonies be produced on stamped paper produced in London, carrying an embossed revenue stamp. [ 1] [2] Printed materials included legal documents, magazines, playing cards, newspapers, and many other types of paper used throughout the colonies. Like previous taxes, the stamp tax had to be paid in valid British currency, not in colonial paper money. [ 3] The purpose of the tax was to help pay for troops stationed in North America after the British victory in the Seven Years' War and its North American theater of the French and Indian War. However, the Colonists had never feared a French invasion to begin with, and they contended that they had already paid their share of the expenses. [ 4] They suggested that it was actually a matter of British patronage to surplus British officers and career soldiers who should be paid by London."

The lands of the settlement were located in southern New England in what is now Massachusetts, with initial settlements situated on two natural harbors and surrounding land, about 15.4 miles (24.8 km) apart [1] —the areas around the present-day cities of Salem and Boston. The territory nominally administered by the colony included much of present-day central New England, including portions of the U. S. states of Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, and Connecticut. Territory claimed but never administered by the colonial government extended as far west as the Pacific Ocean. The earlier Dutch colony of New Netherlands disputed many of these claims, arguing that they held rights to lands beyond Rhode Island up to the western side of Cape Cod and the Plymouth Bay Colony. The Massachusetts Bay Colony was founded by the owners of the Massachusetts Bay Company, which included investors in the failed Dorchester Company that had established a short-lived settlement on Cape Ann in 1623. The colony began in 1628 and was the company's second attempt at colonization. It was successful, with about 20,000 people migrating to New England in the 1630s. The population was strongly Puritan, and its governance was dominated by a small group of leaders who were strongly influenced by Puritan religious leaders. Its governors were elected, and the electorate were limited to freemen who had been examined for their religious views and formally admitted to the local church."

"text": "King Philip’s War, also called Great Narragansett War, (1675–76), in British American colonial history, war that pitted Native Americans against English settlers and their Indian allies that was one of the bloodiest conflicts (per capita) in U. S. history. Historians since the early 18th century, relying on accounts from the Massachusetts Bay and Plymouth colonies, have referred to the conflict as King Philip’s War. Philip ( Metacom ), sachem (chief) of a Wampanoag band, was a son of Massasoit, who had greeted the first colonists of New England at Plymouth in 1621. However, because of the central role in the conflict played by the Narragansetts, who composed the largest Native American group then in southern New England, some historians refer to the conflict as the Great Narragansett War. Metacom (King Philip)Metacom (King Philip), Wampanoag sachem, meeting settlers, illustration c. 1911. Library of Congress, Washington, D. C. (Digital file no. cph 3c00678)The war’s proximate cause was Plymouth Colony’s execution in June 1675 of three of Philip’s warriors. They had been tried and found guilty of murdering John Sassamon, a Harvard -educated “praying Indian” convert to Puritanism who had served as an interpreter and advisor to Philip but whom Philip had accused of spying for the colonists. His murder ignited a tinderbox of tensions between Indians and whites that had been smoldering for 55 years over competing land claims (including disputes over the grazing of colonial livestock on hunting and fishing grounds), interracial insensitivities, and English cultural encroachment on Native America. That was the case even with a somewhat intertwined Native American–English economy and the conversion to Christianity by some Indians."

PREFACEAs things now stand, the course of instruction in American history in our public schools embraces three distinct treatments of the subject. Three separate books are used. First, there is the primary book, which is usually a very condensed narrative with emphasis on biographies and anecdotes. Second, there is the advanced text for the seventh or eighth grade, generally speaking, an expansion of the elementary book by the addition of forty or fifty thousand words. Finally, there is the high school manual. This, too, ordinarily follows the beaten path, giving fuller accounts of the same events and characters."

The Thirteen Colonies had very similar political, constitutional, and legal systems and were dominated by Protestant English-speakers. They were part of Britain's possessions in the New World, which also included colonies in Canada and the Caribbean, as well as East and West Florida. Between 1625 and 1775, the colonist population of the Thirteen Colonies grew from roughly 2000 to over 2 million, often displacing Native Americans. In the 18th century, the British government operated its colonies under a policy of mercantilism, in which the central government administered its possessions for the economic benefit of the mother country. During this period, slavery was introduced. However, the Thirteen Colonies had a high degree of self-governance and active local elections, and they resisted London's demands for more control."

"text": "English Colonial Expansion Sixteenth-century England was a tumultuous place. Because they could make more money from selling wool than from selling food, many of the nation’s landowners were converting farmers’ fields into pastures for sheep. This led to a food shortage; at the same time, many agricultural workers lost their jobs. Did You Know? Virginia Dare, the first American-born child of English parents, was born in Roanoke in 1587. The 16th century was also the age of mercantilism, an extremely competitive economic philosophy that pushed European nations to acquire as many colonies as they could. As a result, for the most part, the English colonies in North America were business ventures. They provided an outlet for England’s surplus population and (in some cases) more religious freedom than England did, but their primary purpose was to make money for their sponsors. The Tobacco Colonies In 1606, King James I divided the Atlantic seaboard in two, giving the southern half to the London Company (later the Virginia Company) and the northern half to the Plymouth Company. The first English settlement in North America had actually been established some 20 years before, in 1587, when a group of colonists (91 men, 17 women and nine children) led by Sir Walter Raleigh settled on the island of Roanoke."

He was the son of Alberta Christine (Williams), a schoolteacher, and Martin Luther King Sr., a pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. For Martin the civil rights movement began one summer in 1935 when he was six years old. Two of his friends did not show up to play ball with him and Martin decided to go looking for them. When he went to one of the boys' house, their mother met him at the front door and told him in a rude tone that her son would not be coming out to play with him that day or any other day because they were white and he was black. Years later, Martin admitted that those cruel words altered the direction of his life. As a teenager, Martin went through school with great distinction. He skipped ninth and 12th grades, and excelled on the violin and as as a public speaker. One evening after taking top prize in a debate tournament, he and his teacher were riding home on the bus discussing the event when the driver ordered them to give up their seats for two white passengers who had just boarded."

Early life and school Coretta Scott was born on April 27, 1927, in Perry County, Alabama. Her parents, Obadiah and Bernice Scott, were farmers. The Scott family had owned land in the area since the American Civil War (1861–65). Even though the Scotts were more successful than most African Americans in the area, life for them and their three children was difficult. Coretta, along with her mother and sister, tended the family garden and crops, fed the chickens and hogs, and milked the cows. Scott's early schooling was affected by the system of segregation, which kept people of different races apart. She walked six miles a day to and from school while white students traveled by bus to schools with better facilities and teachers.

Martin Luther King is probably the most famous person associated with the civil rights movement. King was active from the start of the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955 to 1956 until his murder in April 1968. To many Martin Luther King epitomised what the civil rights campaign was all about and he brought massive international cover to the movement. Martin Luther King was born in Atlanta, Georgia on January 15th, 1929. The church was very much a part of his life as both his father and grandfather had been Baptist preachers. They themselves were involved in the civil rights movement. By the standards of the time, King came from a reasonably comfortable background and after graduating from college in 1948 he was not sure about which profession to join."

"text": "March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom Event August 28, 1963Share this article on Facebook Share this article on Twitter On 28 August 1963, more than 200,000 demonstrators took part in the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in the nation’s capital. The march was successful in pressuring the administration of John F. Kennedy to initiate a strong federal civil rights bill in Congress. During this event, Martin Luther King delivered his memorable “ I Have a Dream ” speech. The 1963 March on Washington had several precedents. In the summer of 1941 A. Philip Randolph, founder of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, called for a march on Washington, D. C., to draw attention to the exclusion of African Americans from positions in the national defense industry. This job market had proven to be closed to blacks, despite the fact that it was growing to supply materials to the Allies in World War II. The threat of 100,000 marchers in Washington, D. C., pushed President Franklin D. Roosevelt to issue Executive Order 8802, which mandated the formation of the Fair Employment Practices Commission to investigate racial discrimination charges against defense firms. In response, Randolph cancelled plans for the march. Civil rights demonstrators did assemble at the Lincoln Memorial in May 1957 for a Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom on the third anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education, and in October 1958, for a Youth March for Integrated Schools to protest the lack of progress since that ruling. King addressed the 1957 demonstration, but due to ill health after being stabbed by Izola Curry, Coretta Scott King delivered his scheduled remarks at the 1958 event."

Jonathan Bass, Samford University Civil Rights Leaders in Selma Minister, philosopher, and social activist Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968) was America's most significant civil rights leader of the 1950s and 1960s. He achieved his most renown and greatest successes in advancing the cause of civil rights while leading a series of highly publicized campaigns in Alabama between 1955 and 1965. During this decade of mass protests against racial injustices, King's words and deeds inspired millions of people throughout the world. In 1964, he won the Nobel Peace Prize for his leadership in the struggle for racial equality. In contrast, others saw King as a polarizing figure whose actions elicited violent reactions. He was assassinated on April 4, 1968. Fifteen years later, in November 1983, President Ronald Reagan signed a bill establishing the third Monday of every January as the Martin Luther King Jr. National Holiday. Early Life and Career Originally named Michael Luther, King was born on January 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia, to Reverend Michael Luther and Alberta Williams King. Following a trip to Europe in 1934, King Sr. changed both his name and that of his son to Martin Luther to honor the leader of the Protestant Reformation."

Born April 27, 1927 in Marion, Alabama, young Coretta Scott grew up on a farm and picked cotton to help make money for her family.2. As a child, she experienced the segregation and racism that were the standard at the time. Her family’s lumber mill was burned down by white neighbors. Coretta and her sisters had to be bussed miles from their home to attend the closest black high school.3. Though her parents were uneducated, they were determined to send all three of their children to college. Sister Edythe was one of the first black students to attend Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, and Coretta joined her there a few years later.4.

Uffelman, Austin Peay State University Coretta Scott King (1927-2006), most widely known as the wife and widow of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., carried on his vision of nonviolent protest to effect social change after his death in 1968. She founded the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change that year and later opposed apartheid in South Africa and participated in other human-rights struggles. Coretta Scott King Coretta Scott was born April 27, 1927, in Heiberger, Perry County, to Obediah and Bernice Mc Murray Scott, between siblings Edythe and Obediah Leonard. The Scotts owned their cotton farm but struggled as most Alabamians did during the Great Depression. The Scotts placed a great deal of emphasis on education, and the children walked five miles to the one-room Crossroads School for their elementary education. The nearest African American high school, Lincoln, was nine miles away in Marion. Being too far to walk and not wanting her children to board in Marion during the week, Coretta's mother hired a bus and drove all the black students in the community to school daily. Coretta excelled in music, playing both the trumpet and piano, singing in the chorus, and participating in school musicals. She graduated as class valedictorian in 1945. Coretta left the South to attend Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, where her sister had been the school's first full-time African American student."

In 1957 the NAACP awarded him the Spingarn Medal, its most prestigious honor. In 1964, he received a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts. Dr. King pushed America to fulfill its promise of equal rights for all. We honor his life and his legacy by recommitting ourselves to keeping his dream alive. “I have come to see more and more that one of the most decisive steps that the Negro can take is that little walk to the voting booth.

"text": "Gandhi’s Influence on American Civil Rights Movement Posted on November 30, 2011 by Satya Pavan“ Raj Mohan Gandhi arrived as a resident fellow at Emory University in February 2000, Bishop Tutu and Rev Andrew Young engaged in public dialogue with him discussing Religion and Violence in the southern states of America. January to April 2000 was declared ‘A Season for Non-violence’, a public awareness campaign coordinated by a network of eight reconciliation and ‘Kingandhian’ nonviolence fellowships across the country. The high point of the Season occurred over the Spiritual Awareness Week in March-April (2000) with a spectacular ceremony conferring honorary degrees posthumously for Mahatma Gandhi and his wife, Kasturbai Gandhi at Morehouse College, one of the leading Black colleges in the U. S. with which Martin Luther King Jr’s name also came to be associated. The new Gandhi Institute for Reconciliation simultaneously with a massive plague inscribing Dr Martin Luther King Jr’s historic speech, “I have a Dream” were also launched at this occasion, in the presence of Coretta Scott King, wife of Martin Luther king [1]”. But why is Gandhi being revered and held so high in a country thousands of miles away from where he lived and all this more than 50 years after his departure. That was the clout Gandhi had and has on African Americans and the Civil rights movement during 1950’s -60’s. The forerunner of the Civil rights movement, Noble Prize awardee for Peace, Martin Luther King Jr was highly influenced by Gandhi’s ideologies and advocated the same. The result, today, Africans Americans being treated equally as the White Americans. Through this paper we shall explore how Gandhi influenced the Civil Rights movement and the factors which favoured the same and how his ideologies have been implemented in the United States in the fight for equality. THE FIRST TASTE OF DISCRIMINATIONIn 1893, a well-dressed, educated lawyer was thrown out of a first class cabin of a train in South Africa."

This series of conferences has established a long tradition -more than 30 years old - of focusing on issues which are both important and topical. The theme of this year's conference is no exception. \"\" Fostering Economic Growth in Europe\"\" is the key economic policy priority considering the moderate average growth of the European economy over the past 20 years, its recent weak economic performance, and the expected modest economic recovery. To foster economic growth in Europe requires both an accurate diagnosis of the factors determining or constraining its growth performance and an appropriate policy prescription regarding the macroeconomic policies and structural reforms needed to achieve higher and sustainable growth. Today, I will discuss the contribution of monetary policy to economic growth, an issue which has long been the subject of theoretical and policy debates among economists. At the present juncture, with weak growth and even talk of deflation risks, and given actual or perceived constraints on economic policies, this topic is attracting increasing interest, the debate has occasionally become rather heated, and there have been numerous calls from politicians and academics for monetary policy to pay more attention to growth. Against this background, I welcome this chance to add my own views to the ongoing discussion. I will do so by examining a number of fundamental issues concerning the role of monetary policy in fostering economic growth. There are five questions that I will endeavour to answer: Firstly, can monetary policy contribute directly to the attainment of a high but sustainable rate of growth?"

"text": "\"UNDERSTANDING GROUND EFFECTWhat is ground effect (GE) and how does change the way your RC heli reacts while hovering close to the ground? First off GE is not just limited to helicopters; anything that is flying close the ground will experience it. GE for any aircraft is caused by the increase in air pressure as the aircraft is flying close to the ground. This increased air pressure is caused by the air being pushed downwards by wings or rotors. Since the aircraft is close to the ground, the downward rush of air has no place to go, so air pressure builds under the aircraft. This high pressure area under the wing or rotor blades causes an interesting decrease in overall drag with an increase in total lift from the wing or rotor. To keep things simple, we will just look at GE as a bubble of high air pressure under our RC helicopter... Please note however, this is not really what is happening, it's the decrease in drag that increases lift efficiency. It's just easier to explain and visualize using the \"\" incorrect \"\" cushion of air method. The Ground Effect Hover Helicopters will of course experience GE when they are hovering close to the ground. That is why we refer to it as the Ground Effect Hover."

Genetic evaluation of other forms of neutropenia in humans and model organisms has helped to illuminate the role of NE. A canine form of cyclic neutropenia corresponds to human Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome type 2 (HPS2) and results from mutations in AP3B1 encoding a subunit of a complex involved in the subcellular trafficking of vesicular cargo proteins (among which NE appears to be one). Rare cases of SCN are attributable to mutations in the transcriptional repressor Gfi1 (among whose regulatory targets also include ELA2 ). The ultimate biochemical consequences of the mutations are not yet known, however. Gene targeting of ELA2 has thus far failed to recapitulate neutropenia in mice. The cycling phenomenon and origins of leukemic transformation in SCN remain puzzling. Nevertheless, mutations in all 3 genes are capable of causing the mislocalization of NE and may also induce the unfolded protein response, suggesting that there might a convergent pathogenic mechanism focusing on NE. Neutrophils and monocytes Neutrophils (also known as “polymorphonuclear leukocytes” and “granulocytes”) are terminally differentiated cellular components of the innate immune system that constitute about 35% to 75% of the population of peripheral leukocytes. 1 They kill bacterial and fungal pathogens through phagocytosis and are armed with an arsenal of proteases, antimicrobial peptides, and reactive oxygen species."

"text": "\"Kansas Geological Survey, Bulletin 233, p. 263-272Controls on carbonate and siliciclastic sediment deposition on a mixed carbonate-siliciclastic shelf (Pennsylvanian Eastern Shelf of north Texas)by Thomas E. Yancey Texas A&M University Abstract Patterns and trends of carbonate and siliciclastic lithologies in late Paleozoic cyclothems are used as the basis for identifying the factors controlling deposition in mixed carbonate-siliciclastic systems. The cyclothems examined in detail occur on the Eastern Shelf of the Midland basin in north Texas. Cyclothems are products of deposition in shelfwide mixed carbonate-siliciclastic systems and contain an intermediate water depth carbonate zone positioned between a shallow nearshore zone of siliciclastic deposition and a deep-water outer shelf zone of siliciclastic deposition. Carbonate sedimentation was largely depth controlled, because carbonate sediment production was primarily from microbes, multicellular algae, or other light-controlled benthic organisms. Siliciclastic sedimentation in the noncarbonate outer shelf environments resulted from pulses of fine-grained siliciclastic sediment traversing the carbonate zone in storm-generated suspension clouds. Increased siliciclastic sediment input narrowed the carbonate zone on the shelf but did not greatly shift its central position. Cyclothem deposition corresponds to a limited range of conditions covered in a general model of mixed carbonate-siliciclastic deposition on shelf surfaces. The major variables in this model are the quantity and composition of siliciclastic sediment delivered to the shoreline and carried onto the shelf, the depth of the lower limit of the photic zone as it intersects the shelf surface, the gradient of the depositional surface, and the proportion of benthic production to planktic production of carbonate sediment. In systems where carbonate sediment is predominantly benthic in origin (Paleozoic and Triassic oceans), the first three variables are dominant and result in outer shelf siliciclastic deposition beyond a carbonate zone. In systems where planktic production of carbonate occurs (Jurassic to modern warm-water oceans), planktic production of carbonate tends to overwhelm benthic production and produces carbonate deposition on outer shelf surfaces."

Vouldis b Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.econmod.2013.01.013 Get rights and content Abstract Empirical studies find that fluctuations in output and other macroeconomic aggregates are positively related across countries. Economic theory focuses on two main explanations: common shocks and common transmission mechanisms. In this paper, we conduct an empirical analysis of the international influences, specifically from the U. S. and E. U. on the Greek business-cycle. First, we provide an in-depth analysis of the Greek economy, summarizing crucial aspects and trends by means of relevant econometric techniques such as business cycles extraction and periodization based on filtering, spectral analysis and causality tests. Next, we assess the long-run equilibriums of the Greek economy with the rest of the E. U. countries and the U. S. economy by means of a Vector Error Correction model. Our results imply a significant shift in the long-run equilibriums of the Greek economy towards increasing convergence rates with the U. S. economy after the implementation of the common monetary policy and increasing convergence rates towards the peripheral countries of the E. M. U. Also, the Greek GDP fluctuations are found to be caused, to a certain extent, by the EMU and US fluctuations, implying a transmission mechanism of business cycles from the EMU and the US to the Greek economy. Highlights► We provide an analysis of the Greek economy using relevant econometric techniques ► We study the transmission of economic fluctuations from the US & EU to Greece ► We assess long run equilibriums of Greece through a Vector Error Correction model ► We conclude that EU & US economic activity is indeed transmitted to Greece ► We find evidence of increasing convergence with the US & EMU periphery after 2000Keywords Economic crisis Greece EU Business cycles Eurozone1. Introduction Empirical studies find that cyclical variations in output and other macroeconomic aggregates are positively related across countries ( Schmitt–Grohe, 1998 ). Attempts to explain this situation in a dynamic equilibrium-business-cycle framework have been made by a number of authors (e.g. Backus et al., 1992; Stockman and Tesar, 1995 )."

These segments are called its edges or sides, and the points where two edges meet are the polygon's vertices (singular: vertex) or corners. The interior of the polygon is sometimes called its body. An n -gon is a polygon with n sides; for example, a triangle is a 3-gon. A polygon is a 2-dimensional example of the more general polytope in any number of dimensions. The basic geometrical notion of a polygon has been adapted in various ways to suit particular purposes. Mathematicians are often concerned only with the bounding closed polygonal chain and with simple polygons which do not self-intersect, and they often define a polygon accordingly. A polygonal boundary may be allowed to intersect itself, creating star polygons and other self-intersecting polygons."

"text": "\"Purpose To familiarize students with repeating patterns in nature, namely the phases of the Moon. Context The activities in this lesson involve both individual and class work to facilitate students' learning about the predictability of the moon's phases. Beginning with a hands-on activity to give students a tangible demonstration of the moon's orbit and rotation, this lesson incorporates student observation, documentation, and online activities which encourage students to recognize the pattern of the moon's phases. Class discussions encourage students to understand the lunar cycle as one example of a pattern that we can find in nature. The discussions further challenge them to consider other patterns in nature as well. While students \"\"from the earliest grades should be asked to look for regularities in events, shapes, designs, and sets of numbers\"\" ( Benchmarks for Science Literacy, p. 217 . ), their learning at the K-2 level “…about objects in the sky should be entirely observational and qualitative…The priority is to get the students noticing and describing what the sky looks like to them at different times…But it is too soon to name all the moon's phases and much too soon to explain them.\"\" ( Benchmarks for Science Literacy, p. 62 .) At this point of their development, you can expect that students have noticed the moon before, and perhaps even noticed the different ways the moon can look (full moon versus crescent moon, for example). They will also know that they see the sun during the day and the moon at night."

"text": "Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery Volume 21, Issue 11, November 2012, Pages 1573-1579Basic Science Biomechanical evaluation of graft fixation techniques for acromioclavicular joint reconstructions using coracoclavicular tendon grafts Robert Z. Tashjian MD a Jodi D. Southam MD b Todd Clevenger MD a Kent N. Bachus Ph D a b Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.jse.2011.10.029 Get rights and content Background This study compared the initial strength of acromioclavicular joint reconstructions using coracoclavicular tendon grafts using interference screws, a tendon square knot, or side-to-side suturing for graft fixation. Materials and methods An acromioclavicular joint reconstruction was performed using a hamstring allograft looped under the coracoid and then fixed using interference screws, a square knot in the graft, and side-to-side graft suturing in each of 8 cadaveric shoulders. Each reconstruction was cycled in a superior direction, and displacements were recorded. Stiffness and ultimate load to failure of the reconstructions were determined. Results The knot construct had a greater elongation after cycling compared with the screw ( P = .003) or side-to-side suture ( P = .001) repairs and had a higher ultimate load to failure than the screw construct (614.9 ± 124.6 vs 469.79 ± 175.1 N; P = .02). No significant differences were found between the screw and side-to-side suture constructs in elongation ( P = .11) or ultimate loads to failure ( P = .58). Finally, the side-to-side construct was significantly stiffer than the screw ( P = .01) or knot ( P = .01) reconstructions. Conclusions Clavicular fixation of a coracoclavicular graft during an acromioclavicular joint reconstruction using a square knot has superior ultimate strength compared with interference screw fixation. Side-to-side suture and screw constructs have superior cyclic displacement properties compared with knot fixation, with no differences in cyclic properties found between the side-to-side suture and screw constructs. Side-to-side suturing provides equivalent initial biomechanical strength compared with interference screw fixation."

[ 1]Cosmology (from the Greek κόσμος, kosmos \"\"world\"\" and -λογία, -logia \"\"study of\"\") is the study of the origin, evolution, and eventual fate of the universe. Physical cosmology is the scientific study of the universe's origin, its large-scale structures and dynamics, and its ultimate fate, as well as the scientific laws that govern these areas. [ 2]The term cosmology was first used in English in 1656 in Thomas Blount 's Glossographia, [3] and in 1731 taken up in Latin by German philosopher Christian Wolff, in Cosmologia Generalis. [ 4]Religious or mythological cosmology is a body of beliefs based on mythological, religious, and esoteric literature and traditions of creation myths and eschatology. Physical cosmology is studied by scientists, such as astronomers and physicists, as well as philosophers, such as metaphysicians, philosophers of physics, and philosophers of space and time. Because of this shared scope with philosophy, theories in physical cosmology may include both scientific and non-scientific propositions, and may depend upon assumptions that cannot be tested. Cosmology differs from astronomy in that the former is concerned with the Universe as a whole while the latter deals with individual celestial objects."

Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.helicopter noise Efforts to reduce the noise generated by a helicopter's rotor blades. Contunico © ZDF Enterprises Gmb H, Mainz The idea of taking off vertically, making the transition to horizontal flight to the destination, and landing vertically has been for centuries the dream of inventors. It is the most logical form of flight, dispensing as it does with large landing fields located far from city centres and the inevitable intervening modes of travel—automobile, subway, bus—that flight in conventional aircraft usually requires. But vertical flight is also the most demanding challenge in flying, requiring more sophistication in structure, power, and control than conventional fixed-wing aircraft. These difficulties, solved over time by determined engineers and inventors, made the progress of vertical flight seem slow compared to that of conventional flight, for the first useful helicopters did not appear until the early 1940s. History One important characteristic of the history of vertical flight is the pervasive human interest in the subject; inventors in many countries took up the challenge over the years, achieving varying degrees of success. The history of vertical flight began at least as early as about 400 ce; there are historical references to a Chinese kite that used a rotary wing as a source of lift. Toys using the principle of the helicopter—a rotary blade turned by the pull of a string—were known during the Middle Ages."

"text": "\"The Maya are an indigenous people of Mexico and Central America who have continuously inhabited the lands comprising modern-day Yucatan, Quintana Roo, Campeche, Tabasco, and Chiapas in Mexico and southward through Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador and Honduras. The designation Maya comes from the ancient Yucatan city of Mayapan, the last capital of a Mayan Kingdom in the Post-Classic Period. The Maya people refer to themselves by ethnicity and language bonds such as Quiche in the south or Yucatec in the north (though there are many others). The `Mysterious Maya’ have intrigued the world since their `discovery’ in the 1840's by John Lloyd Stephens and Frederick Catherwood but, in reality, much of the culture is not that mysterious when understood. Contrary to popular imagination, the Maya did not vanish and the descendants of the people who built the great cities of Chichen Itza, Bonampak, Uxmal and Altun Ha still exist on the same lands their ancestors did and continue to practice, sometimes in a modified form, the same rituals which would be recognized by a native of the land one thousand years ago. MAYA Origins The history of Mesoamerica is usually divided into specific periods which, taken together, reveal the development of culture in the region and, for the purposes of this definition, the emergence and cultivation of the Maya Civilization. The Archaic Period: 7000-2000 BCE – During this time a hunter-gatherer culture began to cultivate crops such as maize, beans and other vegetables and the domestication of animals (most notably dogs and turkeys) and plants became widely practiced. The first villages of the region were established during this period which included sacred spots and temples dedicated to various gods. The villages excavated thus far are dated from 2000-1500 BCE. The Olmec Period: 1500-200 BCE – This era is also known as the Pre-Classic or Formative Period when the Olmecs, the oldest culture in Mesoamerica, thrived."

"text": "Cyrus Mc Cormick Inventor of the Mechanical Reaper Not long after Eli Whitney invented the Cotton Gin, Cyrus Mc Cormick invented another significant agricultural invention that revolutionized farming: the mechanical reaper. Prior to this invention, reaping was a painstaking process (done by hand with a scythe) that limited a farm's harvest. The initial idea and design for the reaper actually came from Cyrus Mc Cormick's father, Robert, who worked on the invention for 16 years. In 1831, twenty-two-year-old Cyrus took over his father's project and, within six weeks, he had built, field-tested, remodeled and successfully demonstrated the world's first mechanical reaper. Mc Cormick's invention automatically cut, threshed and bundled grain while being pulled through a field by horses. In 1834, inventor Cyrus Mc Cormick took out a patent on his invention and, soon after, began manufacturing the reaper himself. Despite the amazing potential of the invention, most farmers remained uninterested. Mc Cormick spent years making improvements to the mechanical reaper invention and coming up with business innovations to boost sales (including credit for purchases, performance guarantees, replacement parts and advertising). All his work eventually paid off – by 1851, Cyrus Mc Cormick's reaper invention was an international sensation.

For other uses, see Reaper (disambiguation)Typical 20th century reaper, a tractor-drawn Fahr machine A reaper is a farm implement or person that reaps (cuts and often also gathers) crops at harvest, when they are ripe. Usually the crop involved is a cereal grass. All mechanical reapers cut the grass; most also gather it, either by windrowing it or picking it up. Modern machines that not only cut and gather the grass but also thresh its seeds (the grain ), winnow the grain, and deliver it to a truck or wagon it are called combine harvesters or simply combines; they are the engineering descendants of earlier reapers. Hay is harvested somewhat differently from grain; in modern haymaking, the machine that cuts the grass is called a hay mower or, if integrated with a conditioner, a mower-conditioner. As a manual task, cutting of both grain and hay may be called reaping, involving scythes, sickles, and cradles, followed by differing downstream steps. Traditionally all such cutting could be called reaping, although a distinction between reaping of grain grasses and mowing of hay grasses has long existed; it was only after a decade of attempts at combined grain reaper/hay mower machines (1830s to 1840s) that designers of mechanical implements began resigning them to separate classes. [ 1]Mechanical reapers substantially changed agriculture from their appearance in the 1830s until the 1860s through 1880s, when they evolved into related machines, often called by different names (self-raking reaper, harvester, reaper-binder, grain binder, binder), that collected and bound the sheaves of grain with wire or twine. [ 2] Today reapers and grain binders have been largely replaced by combines in commercial farming, but some smaller farms still use them."

"text": "Persia Darius The Great Author: Grote, George DARIUS THE GREAT, king of Persia in 522-486 BC, one of the greatest rulers of the Achaemenid dynasty, who was noted for his administrative genius and for his great building projects. Darius attempted several times to conquer Greece; his fleet was destroyed by a storm in 492, and the Athenians defeated his army at Marathon in 490. Ascension to monarchy. Darius was the son of Hystaspes, the satrap (provincial governor) of Parthia. The principal contemporary sources for his history are his own inscriptions, especially the great trilingual inscription on the Bisitun (Behistun) rock at the village of the same name, in which he tells how he gained the throne. The accounts of his accession given by the Greek historians Herodotus and Ctesias are in many points obviously derived from this official version but are interwoven with legends. According to Herodotus, Darius, when a youth, was suspected by Cyrus II the Great (who ruled from 559 to 529 BC) of plotting against the throne. Later Darius was in Egypt with Cambyses II, the son of Cyrus and heir to his kingdom, as a member of the royal bodyguard. After the death of Cambyses in the summer of 522 BC, Darius hastened to Media, where, in September, with the help of six Persian nobles, he killed Bardiya (Smerdis), another son of Cyrus, who had usurped the throne the previous March. In the Bisitun inscription Darius defended this deed and his own assumption of kingship on the grounds that the usurper was actually Gaumata, a Magian, who had impersonated Bardiya after Bardiya had been murdered secretly by Cambyses."

"text": "Cyrus Mc Cormick: Inventor of the Mechanical Reaper What is the definition of greatness? How may we recognise a great man or woman? Jonathan Swift in Gulliver’s Travels (1726) offers a possible definition: ‘And he gave it for his opinion, that whoever could make two ears of corn, or two blades of grass, to grow up on a spot of ground where only one grew before, would deserve better of mankind, and do more essential service to his country, than the whole race of politicians put together’. This year marks the bicentenary of the birth of a man who comes close to meeting the definition provided by the Church of Ireland’s most famous Dean of St Patrick’s, Dublin, and one-time Prebend of Kilroot. Cyrus Hall Mc Cormick, the inventor of the mechanical reaper and philanthropist, was born on 15 February 1809 at ‘Walnut Grove’, the Mc Cormick family farm in Rockbridge County, Virginia. Rockbridge County is in the Shenandoah Valley, an area of Ulster-Scots settlement on the western side of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Mc Cormicks were descendants of James Mc Cormick, one of the defenders of Londonderry in the great siege of 1689. James Mc Cormick was one of the signatories of the address of the city and garrison of Londonderry presented to William III by Revd George Walker. The Mc Cormicks had their origins near Ballygawley, Co. Tyrone, close to where President Grant’s Simpson ancestors had their roots. Robert Hall Mc Cormick (1780-1846), Cyrus’s father had patented a number of agricultural implements and spent 28 years working on a horse-drawn mechanical reaper but success just eluded him."

"text": "\"Definitionby Joshua J. Mark published on 14 March 2018Listen to this article, narrated by James Lloyd Mesopotamia (from the Greek, meaning 'between two rivers’) was an ancient region located in the eastern Mediterranean bounded in the northeast by the Zagros Mountains and in the southeast by the Arabian Plateau, corresponding to today’s Iraq, mostly, but also parts of modern-day Iran, Syria and Turkey. The 'two rivers' of the name referred to the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers and the land was known as 'Al-Jazirah' (the island) by the Arabs referencing what Egyptologist J. H. Breasted would later call the Fertile Crescent, where Mesopotamian civilization began. The Cradle of Civilization Unlike the more unified civilizations of Egypt or Greece, Mesopotamia was a collection of varied cultures whose only real bonds were their script, their gods, and their attitude toward women. The social customs, laws, and even language of Akkad, for example, cannot be assumed to correspond to those of Babylon; it does seem, however, that the rights of women, the importance of literacy, and the pantheon of the gods were indeed shared throughout the region (though the gods had different names in various regions and periods). As a result of this, Mesopotamia should be more properly understood as a region that produced multiple empires and civilizations rather than any single civilization. Even so, Mesopotamia is known as the “cradle of civilization” primarily because of two developments that occurred there, in the region of Sumer, in the 4th millenium BCE:the rise of the city as we recognize that entity today.the invention of writing (although writing is also known to have developed in Egypt, in the Indus Valley, in China, and to have taken form independently in Mesoamerica). The invention of the wheel is also credited to the Mesopotamians and, in 1922 CE, the archaeologist Sir Leonard Woolley discovered “the remains of two four-wheeled wagons, [at the site of the ancient city of Ur] the oldest wheeled vehicles in history ever found, along with their leather tires” (Bertman, 35). Other important developments or inventions credited to the Mesopotamians include, but are by no means limited to, domestication of animals, agriculture, common tools, sophisticated weaponry and warfare, the chariot, wine, beer, demarcation of time into hours, minutes, and seconds, religious rites, the sail (sailboats), and irrigation. Orientalist Samuel Noah Kramer, in fact, has listed 39 `firsts' in human civilization that originated in Sumer. These include: The First Schools, The First Case of `Apple Polishing’, The First Case of Juvenile Delinquency, The First ` War of Nerves’, The First Bicameral Congress, The First Historian, The First Case of Tax Reduction, The First ` Moses ’, The First Legal Precedent, The First Pharmacopoeia, The First `Farmer’s Almanac’, The First Experiment in Shade-Tree Gardening, Man’s First Cosmogony and Cosmology, The First Moral Ideals, The First `Job’, The First Proverbs and Sayings, The First Animal Fables, The First Literary Debates, The First Biblical Parallels, The First `Noah’, The First Tale of Resurrection, The First `St. George’, The First Case of Literary Borrowing, Man’s First Heroic Age, The First Love Song, The First Library Catalogue, Man’s First Golden Age, The First `Sick’ Society, The First Liturgic Laments, The First Messiahs, The First Long-Distance Champion, The First Literary Imagery, The First Sex Symbolism, The First Mater Dolorosa, The First Lullaby, The First Literary Portrait, The First Elegies, Labor’s First Victory, The First Aquarium."

"text": "\"Reaper From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Mechanical reaper)navigation search For the personification of death, see Grim Reaper. For other uses, see Reaper (disambiguation)Typical 20th century reaper, a tractor-drawn Fahr machine A reaper is a farm implement or person that reaps (cuts and often also gathers) crops at harvest when they are ripe. Usually the crop involved is a cereal grass. All mechanical reapers cut the grass; most also gather it, either by windrowing it or picking it up. Modern machines that not only cut and gather the grass but also thresh its seeds (the grain ), winnow the grain, and deliver it to a truck or wagon it are called combine harvesters or simply combines; they are the engineering descendants of earlier reapers. Hay is harvested somewhat differently from grain; in modern haymaking, the machine that cuts the grass is called a hay mower or, if integrated with a conditioner, a mower-conditioner. As a manual task, cutting of both grain and hay may be called reaping, involving scythes, sickles, and cradles, followed by differing downstream steps. Traditionally all such cutting could be called reaping, although a distinction between reaping of grain grasses and mowing of hay grasses has long existed; it was only after a decade of attempts at combined grain reaper/hay mower machines (1830s to 1840s) that designers of mechanical implements began resigning them to separate classes. [ 1]Mechanical reapers substantially changed agriculture from their appearance in the 1830s until the 1860s through 1880s, when they evolved into related machines, often called by different names (self-raking reaper, harvester, reaper-binder, grain binder, binder), that collected and bound the sheaves of grain with wire or twine. [ 2] Today reapers and grain binders have been largely replaced by combines in commercial farming, but some smaller farms still use them."

"text": "\"The Name Cyrus Rising? Mar 21st 2010At a screening of the movie The Runaways this weekend, we caught the trailer for the upcoming movie Cyrus, a quirky film about dysfunctional romantic and family relationships that was apparently a crowd favorite at this year's Sundance film festival (one review asks \"\" Is Cyrus this year's Juno? \"\"). When we Googled the movie, we discovered there's another movie called Cyrus currently in production (this one subtitled Mind of a Serial Killer ). And with Miley Cyrus due on the big screen next weekend in The Last Song the latest adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks novel, we had to wonder, what's up with the name Cyrus? Before Billy Ray Cyrus became a household name in 1992 with the release of the #1 single Achy Breaky Heart (and later as dad to Miley, which by the way, was one of the fastest rising names of 2007 ), the most famous American Cyrus was President Jimmy Carter's Secretary of State Cyrus Vance . Born in 1917, the man who would later become Secretary of State was named during the decline of the name Cyrus from its peak at #181 in the 1880s on the Social Security Administration's ranking of most popular names in America. The name Cyrus remained on the charts throughout the 20th Century, however, falling as far as #800 in the 1950s and then rising again as Vance entered the national political stage. But it wasn't until Achy Breaky Heart came out in the 1990s that the name Cyrus truly started to rise again, reaching #699 in the 1990s and rising as high as #466 in 2007. According to Teresa Norman's A World of Baby Names and Behindthe Name.com, the name Cyrus might derive from the Greek word kyrios meaning \"\"lord\"\". It also has an ancient history in Persia, where in addition to being a name for the sun, it was the name of several kings including Cyrus the Great, who appears in the Old Testament as the liberator of captive Jews."

Library of Congressby Mary Bellis Updated April 09, 2018The mechanical reaper was invented by Cyrus Mc Cormick (1809-1884), a Virginia blacksmith, in 1831. Essentially, it was a horse-drawn machine that harvested wheat, and it was one of the most important in the history of farm innovations. The reaper, which one observer likened to a cross between a wheelbarrow and a chariot, was capable of cutting six acres of oats in one afternoon, the equivalent of 12 men working with scythes. At the time, Mc Cormick was only 22 years old, but his invention made him prosperous and famous. Remembered as “the Father of Modern Agriculture,\"\" he made it possible for farmers to expand their small, personal farms into much larger operations. The Seeds of the Reaper Born in Virginia, Mc Cormick was a religious man who believed his mission was to help feed the world. He teamed with and drew on the work of many other people in developing the reaper, including his father and one of his slaves. Ironically, this device—developed, in part, by a slave—went on not just to enrich Mc Cormick but also to liberate free farm workers from hours of backbreaking labor. Mc Cormick priced his first reapers at $50 each (about $1,500 today), but had no takers."

( Getty Images)The son of \"\" Diff'rent Strokes \"\" star Dana Plato committed suicide just two days before the 11th anniversary of his mother's fatal drug overdose. Tyler Lambert, 25, died May 6 from a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head, according to the medical examiner's office in Tulsa, Okla.. Toxicology results are still pending. On May 8, 1999, the troubled 34-year-old actress overdosed on prescription pain killers after her character, Kimberly Drummond, was written off the hit show in 1984 amid rumors of a drug problem. Her death was ruled a suicide by Oklahoma authorities. Plato married rocker Lanny Lambert in 1984 and gave birth to Tyler just a year later. They divorced in 1990 and Lambert was given full custody of Tyler. Plato struggled for years, posing for Playboy in 1989, starring in B-movies before dabbling in soft porn flicks. In 1991 she was arrested attempting to rob a Las Vegas video store at gunpoint and the following year she was arrested for forging a Valium prescription. Lambert's grandmother, Joni Richardson, said he had been working behind the camera and as an amateur songwriter. \"\""

"text": "SAL MINEO ~ LIVE FAST, DIE YOUNGWritten by Retrobuddy on February 7, 2013Salvatore Mineo jr. better known to the world as Sal Mineo, was the exotic-looking, baby-faced American actor whose legend and cult following largely stems from his iconic role as the doomed ‘Plato’ in Nicholas Ray’s 1955 classic of ‘switchblade cinema’ – ‘Rebel Without A Cause’. In this movie he played a troubled high-school kid who falls in love with James Dean (or to be more precise Dean’s character Jim Stark, although there are reports of a real-life love affair between the two off-set). This was the role for which he would earn the first of two Academy Award nominations. Sal Mineo was born on January 10th 1939, the son of a Sicilian carpenter – Sal Mineo Sr and Josephine Alvisi who had emigrated to the United States to found a coffin-making business. Shortly after Sal was born, the family moved to an old house they had bought in the Bronx, New York City. Sal did not have an easy start in life; in spite of picking up the area’s distinctive accent he was considered an outsider and rejected by the local boys because of his father’s rather morbid profession. Sal attempted to woo the boys over, suggesting to them that his father’s un-finished coffins were in fact filled with candy. Taking the bait, the boys looked inside, whereupon prankster Sal leapt out, sending them running. Needless to say this did nothing to further his cause for friendship."

"text": "\"by plato on August 24, 2017by Anya Leonard Somewhere between the words of Socrates and the thoughts of Plato lies the profound question of what is ‘Just’. Is it defined by laws and men or is it something separate, something ideal? When one is wrongfully imprisoned, for example, is it okay to escape, to break the “law” as it is written? This was the quandary in which Socrates found himself when facing an unfair death sentence. Of course, we can’t be sure which ideas actually belong to Socrates or to Plato. We only know that Crito, the second defense of Socrates, was written after the events took place. Even if Socrates did utter the words contained therein, it was a secondhand account at best. Chronologically though, it follows Socrates’ trial as seen in the Apology and slots in before his final death in Phaedo. Crito is actually the shortest of these three dialogues, but that doesn’t mean it’s the easiest to understand. In it, Plato attempts to find justice in an unjust action."

Several of the philosophers we have already discussed considered it the pinnacle of their careers to come and teach in this great city. But Athens wasn’t always great. It began as a collection of villages in some of the poorest agricultural land in Greece. Only carefully tended grapes and olives provided early Athens with a livelihood, that and trade. The distance between the haves -- the ruling aristocratic trading families -- and the have nots -- peasants working the land -- and the accompanying feudal oppression, grew so great that it looked like the city and its surrounding area would collapse under the weight. In 594 bc, the leaders of the middle class recruited a merchant named Solon to accept leadership of the city and restore some peace and prosperity. He began by canceling all debts and freeing all who had been enslaved on account of debt. Then he proceeded to draft a constitution in which the population was divided into four classes based entirely on economic worth, with the highest retaining the greatest power, but the lowest being exempt from taxes."

The inexperienced in wisdom and virtue, ever occupied with feasting and such, are carried downward, and there, as is fitting, they wander their whole life long, neither ever looking upward to the truth above them nor rising toward it, nor tasting pure and lasting pleasures.

In order to increase their possessions they kick and butt with horns and hoofs of steel and kill each other, insatiable as they are. The beginning is the most important part of the work. Until philosophers are kings, or the kings and princes of this world have the spirit and power of philosophy, and political greatness and wisdom meet in one, and those commoner natures who pursue either to the exclusion of the other are compelled to stand aside, cities will never have rest from their evils.

Edmonds IIIAbstract | Index | Outline | Text | Bibliography | Notes | References | About the author Abstract The Neo Platonist Olympiodorus claims that “Plato borrows everywhere from Orpheus”, but many of the afterlife ideas which Plato is supposed to have drawn from “Orphism” come not from the Orphica, but from the broader mythological tradition. Even those elements which Plato did draw from the Orphica or similar sources, however, he transformed in significant ways to suit his philosophical purposes in the particular dialogue. I first examine the idea, which appears in many different sources from the earliest evidence, of a lively afterlife, an idea that differs from the epic vision of Homer where poetic glory provides the only meaningful form of life after death. Nevertheless, a differentiated afterlife with judgement, complex geography, and rewards and punishments was a widespread and generally accepted idea, which Plato manipulates in various ways in different dialogues. By contrast, other ideas of the relation of the soul to the body, such as the soul entombed in the body or the process of reincarnation, appear marked, in the evidence of Plato and others, as extra-ordinary and unfamiliar ideas, which Plato again transposes to fit his arguments in the dialogue.

"text": "\"Hans-Georg Gadamer (1900—2002)Hans-Georg Gadamer was a leading Continental philosopher of the twentieth century. His importance lies in his development of hermeneutic philosophy. Hermeneutics, “the art of interpretation,” originated in biblical and legal fields and was later extended to all texts. Martin Heidegger, Gadamer’s teacher, completed the universalizing of the scope of hermeneutics by extending it beyond texts to all forms of human understanding. Hence philosophical hermeneutics inquires into the meaning and significance of understanding for human existence in general. Gadamer was influenced by Heidegger’s interest in the “question of Being,” which aimed to draw our attention to the ubiquitous and ineffable nature of Being that underlies human existence. “ Being” refers to something like a “ground” (although not in the modern sense of “foundation”) or, better, background, that precedes, conditions, and makes possible the particular forms of human knowing as found in science and the social sciences. Gadamer developed Heidegger’s commitment to the ubiquitous and fundamental nature of Being in three related ways. First, Gadamer wanted to elucidate the historical and linguistic situatedness of human knowing and to emphasize the necessity and productivity of tradition and language for human thought. For example, when Gadamer wrote that “Being that could be understood is language,” he meant that Being underlies, exceeds, and makes possible language."

Reading Socrates’ final utterance, one could be forgiven of thinking he was a practical, material man. Nothing, however, could be further from the truth. Socrates, as depicted in Plato’s Phaedo, was a gentleman who shunned the physical world and all thing corporeal. An individual who dedicated his life, and eventually lost it, in pursuit of wisdom and abstract ideals such as Beauty and Justice. In a word: Spiritual… even in the modern sense of the term. But before we proceed, we must first dispense with the essential caveats that collocate with all Platonic/Socratic texts. As always, the distinction between teacher and student is a hard line to draw, as is the influence the former had on the latter."

"text": "Ancient Greek Philosophy From Thales, who is often considered the first Western philosopher, to the Stoics and Skeptics, ancient Greek philosophy opened the doors to a particular way of thinking that provided the roots for the Western intellectual tradition. Here, there is often an explicit preference for the life of reason and rational thought. We find proto-scientific explanations of the natural world in the Milesian thinkers, and we hear Democritus posit atoms—indivisible and invisible units—as the basic stuff of all matter. With Socrates comes a sustained inquiry into ethical matters—an orientation towards human living and the best life for human beings. With Plato comes one of the most creative and flexible ways of doing philosophy, which some have since attempted to imitate by writing philosophical dialogues covering topics still of interest today in ethics, political thought, metaphysics, and epistemology. Plato’s student, Aristotle, was one of the most prolific of ancient authors. He wrote treatises on each of these topics, as well as on the investigation of the natural world, including the composition of animals. The Hellenists—Epicurus, the Cynics, the Stoics, and the Skeptics—developed schools or movements devoted to distinct philosophical lifestyles, each with reason at its foundation. With this preference for reason came a critique of traditional ways of living, believing, and thinking, which sometimes caused political trouble for the philosophers themselves. Xenophanes directly challenged the traditional anthropomorphic depiction of the gods, and Socrates was put to death for allegedly inventing new gods and not believing in the gods mandated by the city of Athens."

Aristotle, the major source for Thales's philosophy and science, identified Thales as the first person to investigate the basic principles, the question of the originating substances of matter and, therefore, as the founder of the school of natural philosophy. Thales was interested in almost everything, investigating almost all areas of knowledge, philosophy, history, science, mathematics, engineering, geography, and politics. He proposed theories to explain many of the events of nature, the primary substance, the support of the earth, and the cause of change. Thales was much involved in the problems of astronomy and provided a number of explanations of cosmological events which traditionally involved supernatural entities. His questioning approach to the understanding of heavenly phenomena was the beginning of Greek astronomy. Thales' hypotheses were new and bold, and in freeing phenomena from godly intervention, he paved the way towards scientific endeavor. He founded the Milesian school of natural philosophy, developed the scientific method, and initiated the first western enlightenment. A number of anecdotes is closely connected to Thales' investigations of the cosmos."

"text": "Plutarch First published Tue Sep 7, 2010; substantive revision Tue Nov 4, 2014Plutarch of Chaeronea in Boeotia ( ca. 45–120 CE) was a Platonist philosopher, best known to the general public as author of his “Parallel Lives” of paired Greek and Roman statesmen and military leaders. He was a voluminous writer, author also of a collection of “Moralia” or “Ethical Essays,” mostly in dialogue format, many of them devoted to philosophical topics, not at all limited to ethics. Plutarch's significance as a philosopher, on which this article concentrates, lies in his attempt to do justice to Plato's work as a whole, and to create a coherent and credible philosophical system out of it, as Plotinus will also do later (204–270 CE). Two moves are crucial in this regard. First, Plutarch respects both the skeptical/aporetic element in Plato (as marked by the tentativeness with which Socrates and the other main speakers in his dialogues regularly advance their views) and the views apparently endorsed by the main speakers of the dialogues, which were widely regarded as Plato's own doctrines (e.g. Diogenes Laertius 3.51–2). Second, Plutarch focuses primarily and quite strongly on the Timaeus for his understanding of Plato's “doctrines,” and his interpretation of this dialogue shapes his understanding of the entire Plato. Plutarch maintains a literal interpretation of the Timaeus, according to which the world has come about in time from two principles, the creator god and the “Indefinite Dyad”. While the Dyad accounts for disorder and multiplicity, such as that of disordered matter before the creation of the ordered physical world, of which pre-cosmic stage Timaeus appears to speak in the Timaeus, god accounts for order and the nature and identity of objects and properties in the world. This metaphysical dualism is further strengthened by the assumption of two mediating entities through which the two principles operate; the Indefinite Dyad operates through a non-rational cosmic soul, while god through a rational one."

The film was in serious need of an upgrade, and while the new technology really enhanced the film, making it all the more believable, the updates to the story along with the new characters that were introduced, really did the original story a disservice. The basic story was not changed, just modernized, and for that we are very thankful. The story was always a terrific tale of Science Fiction and an early message about the damage we are doing to our planet. I like how the story was updated and I loved the technological advancements."

Thursday, 26th November 2015 at 7:30 am We’re travelling through time to see where some of the stranded islanders are now…Matthew Fox One of the more familiar faces of the cast, Fox was well known before his role in Lost for playing Charlie in long-running TV series Party of Five. In Lost we knew Fox as group leader Jack Shephard, who quickly develops a crush on fellow castaway Kate. His character was initially supposed to die in the pilot, however upon meeting Fox producers, it was decided he would play a leading role. Since the end of Lost he has appeared in many films, including Vantage Point, World War Z and as villain Picasso in 2012 thriller Alex Cross. Fox had to lose 44 pounds for the role, and later admitted he could hardly recognise himself onscreen. He has just finished filming a new post-apocalyptic drama called Extinction. Michelle Rodriguez Rodriguez starred as tough cop Ana Lucia Cortez, a survivor from the tail section of the plane who causes a stir when the two groups meet in the second series. Since her Lost days, Rodriguez has gone on to star in blockbusters such as Avatar and Battle: Los Angeles, and recently reprised her role as Letty in the latest film in The Fast and Furious franchise, Furious 7. Josh Holloway Josh played the deceptive conman Sawyer back in the days of Lost, known for being sarcastic and a flirt with many of the female characters."

Both parts were directed by J. J. Abrams, who co-wrote the script with Damon Lindelof. Jeffrey Lieber, who had been commissioned by ABC to write the first version of the script, earned a story credit. Filmed in Oahu, Hawaii, it was the most expensive pilot episode up to that time, costing between $10 and $14 million, largely due to the expense of purchasing, shipping, and dressing a decommissioned Lockheed 1011 to represent Flight 815's wreckage. Many changes were made during the casting process, including the selected actors, the characters' behaviors and fates. The pilot introduces the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815, who experience a plane crash and end up on a mysterious island. Three of the characters, Jack Shephard ( Matthew Fox ), Kate Austen ( Evangeline Lilly) and Charlie Pace ( Dominic Monaghan ), are featured before the crash in flashbacks of their experiences on the plane as it breaks apart in mid-air; this narrative technique would be reused in almost every subsequent episode of the series. The Lost pilot is one of the most critically acclaimed television pilots of all time. Both parts earned high ratings, with Part 1 breaking the record for a pilot episode with 18.6 million viewers, and the episode would later win many awards and accolades."

Korea was administratively partitioned in 1945, at the end of World War II. As Korea was under Japanese rule during World War II, Korea was officially a belligerent against the Allied Powers. The unconditional surrender of Japan led to the division of Korea into two occupation zones (similar to the four zones in Germany ), with the United States administering the southern half of the peninsula and the Soviet Union administering the area north of the 38th parallel. This division was meant to be temporary (as was Germany) and was first intended to return a unified Korea back to its people after the United States, United Kingdom, Soviet Union, and Republic of China could arrange a single government. The Soviets and Americans were unable to agree on the implementation of Joint Trusteeship over Korea. This led in 1948 to the establishment of two separate governments – the Communist -aligned Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and the West -aligned First Republic of Korea – each claiming to be the legitimate government of all of Korea. In 1950 the Korean War broke out."

Like Chicago PD, I hear the new spinoff hails from Chicago Fire creators/executive producers Derek Haas and Michael Brandt, executive producer Matt Olmstead and executive producer Wolf, whose company Wolf Films produces Chicago Fire and Chicago PD with Universal TV. NBC topper Bob Greenblatt spoke of the spinoff during the NBC executive session this morning. “ Chicago Med is something that we’re just seeding into the system, seeing if there’s a show there that could eventually spin off into itself,” he said. After the Chicago Fire/Chicago PD panel, Wolf confirmed that Chicago Med will be introduced as an “integrated episode” of Chicago Fire. “ There will be an event that brings Chicago Med within Chicago Fire ,” he said. Chicago Med would bring the number of series in the Chicago Fire franchise to three. Wolf’s venerable Law & Order franchise (as well as CBS’ CSI) also have yielded three successful series each to date. ( Each has attempted to expand to four shows."

If CBS’ “Hawaii Five-0” pilot goes to series, one regular character on the show will be Mary Ann Mc Garrett, younger sister of Five-0 chief Steve Mc Garrett, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Taryn Manning (“8 Mile,” “Sons of Anarchy”) plays the character, who was not a regular on the 1968-1980 original series. Will she be kidnapped? A detective? Manning joins Alex O'Loughlin (“Three Rivers”), who plays big bro Steve, and Daniel Dae Kim (“Lost”), who plays Chin Ho Kelly. The series, which like the CBS original will follow a fictional Hawaiian police agency, is overseen by writer-producers Peter Lenkov (“CSI: NY”) and Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman (co-creators of “Fringe” and writers of last year’s “Star Trek” movie).

Walker/Variety/REX/Shutterstock UPDATED 5:02 P. M. Stars Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park have departed CBS’ “ Hawaii Five-0 .” Their characters, Chin Ho Kelly and Kono Kalakaua, will not appear in the upcoming eighth season. The characters’ absence will be referenced in the season premiere. Sources tell Variety that Park and Kim had been seeking pay equality with stars Alex O’Loughlin and Scott Caan, but were unable to reach satisfactory deals with CBS Television Studios, which produces the series. CBS’s final offer to Kim and Park was believed to have been 10-15% lower than what O’Loughlin and Caan make in salary. O’Laughlin and Caan each have deals that also provide them percentage points on the show’s back end. “I will never forget meeting Daniel while still writing the pilot and being certain there was no other actor who I’d want to play Chin Ho Kelly,” said executive producer Peter Lenkov. “ Needless to say, Daniel has been an instrumental part of the success of ‘ Hawaii Five-0 ’ over the past 7 seasons and it has personally been a privilege to know him. Grace’s presence gave ‘Hawaii Five-0’ a beauty and serenity to each episode. She was the consummate collaborator, helping build her character from day 1."

Revolutionary War veteran Daniel Shays led four thousand rebels (called Shaysites) in an uprising against perceived economic and civil rights injustices. In 1787, the rebels marched on the United States' Armory at Springfield in an unsuccessful attempt to seize its weaponry and overthrow the government. The rebellion took place in a political climate where reform of the country's governing document, the Articles of Confederation, was widely seen as necessary. The events of the rebellion served as a catalyst for the calling of the U. S. Constitutional Convention and ultimately the shape of the new government. [ 1]The shock of Shays' Rebellion drew retired General George Washington back into public life, leading to his two terms as the United States' first President. [ 1] The exact nature and consequence of the rebellion's influence on the content of the Constitution and the ratification debates continues to be a subject of historical discussion and debate.

Some residents in these areas had little in the way of assets beyond their land and bartered with one another for goods or services. In lean times, farmers might obtain goods on credit from suppliers in local market towns who would be paid when times were better. ["

"text": "\"CONFEDERATIONCONFEDERATION. The era 1781–1789 takes its name from the Articles of Confederation, the first constitution of the new United States, ratified by the Second Continental Congress on 1 March 1781. This decade has sometimes been described as an era in which America experienced disastrously weak government under an inept Confederation Congress, an unstable economy that brought the nation to the brink of depression, and a society torn by violence and class conflict; in sum, a decade when the new republic threatened to unravel completely. On the surface things did look bleak. But overt problems notwithstanding, the new nation made great strides in important ways. While national leadership was wanting during the Confederation period, there remained a strong center of political stability in most states. Both within the Confederation Congress and without, a healthy debate continued in the wake of the Revolution between Federalists, who pressed for a strong central government, and Antifederalists, who stressed preservation of individual liberties protected by strong state sovereignty. This political division culminated in the Constitutional Convention of 1787, the elections that followed of the first constitutional government, and the promulgation of the Bill of Rights in the form of the first ten amendments to the Constitution. The 1780s also saw a rebirth of American merchant trade as the Confederation Congress established diplomatic relations and forged commercial ties with continental Europe and its Caribbean colonies. Agriculture benefited from the start of a dynamic westward expansion into the Ohio Valley, and with passage of the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, the Confederation Congress established the framework for further westward movement through its organization of the Northwest Territory, thus providing the blueprint for systematic transition from territory to statehood down to the present."

It completes the story arc begun in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) and continued in The Search for Spock.

The crew travel to Earth's past to find whales who can answer the probe's call. After directing The Search for Spock, cast member Leonard Nimoy was asked to direct the next feature, and given greater freedom regarding the film's content. Nimoy and producer Harve Bennett conceived a story with an environmental message and no clear-cut villain. Dissatisfied with the first screenplay produced by Steve Meerson and Peter Krikes, Paramount hired The Wrath of Khan writer and director Nicholas Meyer. Meyer and Bennett divided the story between them and wrote different parts of the script, requiring approval from Nimoy, lead actor William Shatner, and Paramount.

"text": "Terms Confederacy - A confederacy is a form of government in which independent states are loosely joined, typically for common defense. Each independent state maintains power over the majority of its own affairs. Confederation Congress - The governing body that consisted of representatives from each of the 13 states. Congress governed the affairs of the United States between the ratification of the Articles of Confederation in 1781 and the ratification of the U. S. Constitution . Conservatives - Political leaders who favored the formation of a strong central government and who thought the Articles of Confederation should grant more powers to the national government than to the state governments. Conservatives tended to fear the power of the masses and to favor government by the elite. Impost - A form of tax applied to goods that are imported into a state or country. Imposts are typically used to make money, protect a home industry, or retaliate against another state or country. Radicals - Political leaders who favored strong state governments and thought the Articles of Confederation should remove most power from the national government, placing more power in the hands of the people. Radicals feared the formation of another strong central government, similar to the British government, which would favor the elite, strip people of their right to equal representation, and violate their freedom."

The numbers raise troubling questions about how the military is handling mental-health issues. NPR has reported that servicemen and women who come home with serious mental-health problems, such as PTSD, often can't get the medical treatment they need. And some commanders, in fact, have kicked troubled troops out of the military instead of trying to help them. Until now, NPR reports have included anecdotal evidence, because the Pentagon has not released detailed statistics. Rise in Personality Disorder and Misconduct Dismissals NPR asked the U. S. Army and the U. S. Marine Corps to disclose how many troops have been discharged by their commanders in recent years and why. The Marine Corps has not provided statistics. But an Army chart, which NPR recently received, shows that since the United States invaded Iraq:— Commanders have discharged almost 20 percent more soldiers for \"\"misconduct\"\" than they did in the same period before the war;— Commanders have discharged more than twice as many soldiers for \"\"drug abuse\"\" (a subset of the \"\"misconduct\"\" category);— Commanders have discharged almost 40 percent more soldiers for \"\"personality disorder. \"\" In all, the Army has kicked out more than 28,000 soldiers since the war in Iraq began on the grounds of personality disorder and misconduct.

The thirteen British colonies that would become the United States of America, fought and won against the most powerful imperial power on the planet. In the years following the American victory over the British, the hopes of the masses were betrayed. As a result, there were many popular movements and uprisings. But none had as big an impact on the psychology of the ruling class and the future structure of the U.

In the name of “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness,” the thirteen British colonies that would become the United States of America, fought and won against the most powerful imperial power on the planet. The War for Independence was led by self-styled aristocrats like George Washington, but the actual fighting was done by small farmers, craftsmen and artisans, whites, blacks and Native Americans, freedmen and slaves alike.

Demonstrators and rioters protested high taxation, the governor`s high salary, high court costs and the assembly`s refusal to issue paper money (an inflationary measure highly favored by the debtor class). Opposition had coalesced around Daniel Shays, a Revolutionary War veteran. At first, the activity was limited to meetings and petitions to Massachusetts government in Boston. The matter escalated when the Massachusetts Supreme Court indicated eleven leaders of the movement as disorderly, riotous, and seditious. Shays responded by raising a militia of 700 men, many unpaid veterans of the Continental Army. They marched first for Worcester where they closed down the commonwealth`s supreme court, then turned west to Springfield where they broke into the jail to free imprisoned debtors. The barns of some government officials were burned. Wealthy Bostonians, who feared the rebellion in the west, contributed money for soldiers under the command of General Benjamin Lincoln.

The state legislature was composed mostly of merchants from Boston and other shipping towns and cities. In 1786, farmers assembled in conventions and demanded that their property tax be lowered. To make up for the loss of revenue, they called for the abolition of aristocratic branches of the government in Boston. A Revolutionary War veteran named Daniel Shays led about 2,000 armed men against the Springfield arsenal. The governor of Massachusetts asked for help from the national government but the government under the Articles was unable to act.

A violent insurrection in the Massachusetts countryside during 1786 and 1787, Shays' Rebellion was brought about by a monetary debt crisis at the end of the American Revolutionary War. Although Massachusetts was the focal point of the crisis, other states experienced similar economic hardships. In particular, Continental Army and state militia veterans struggled, as many received little in the way of pay or reimbursement for their military service. Among these disgruntled former soldiers was the Continental Army Captain Daniel Shays, who led a violent uprising against debt collection in Massachusetts. The rebellion set the stage for George Washington 's return to political life and highlighted weaknesses inherent within the Articles of Confederation. The United States emerged after Shays' Rebellion a stronger nation, with a new Constitution and George Washington as its first President. Following the Revolutionary War, merchants in Europe and America felt a need to rein in the enormous debts they were owed, refusing further loans while also demanding payment in cash for any future goods and services. This demand for hard-currency caused a chain reaction, eventually placing the average American borrower under unrealistic schedules of payment given the small amount of cash in circulation."

Failure to repay such debts often resulted in imprisonment in debtor's prisons or the claiming of property by the state. Source (s):http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shays'_Rebe... Debbie Queen of All ♥ · 10 years ago0 0 Comment Daniel Shays led a rebellion of Massachusetts farmers in 1787..... It is commonly known as Shays' Rebellion..... Shays' Rebellion was an armed uprising in Western Massachusetts from 1786 to 1787. The rebels, led by Daniel Shays and known as Shaysites (Regulators), were mostly small farmers angered by crushing debt and taxes. Failure to repay such debts often resulted in imprisonment in debtor's prisons or the claiming of property by the state. The rebellion started on August 29, 1786. A militia that had been raised as a private army defeated an attack on the federal Springfield Armory by the main Shaysite force on February 3, 1787. There was a lack of an institutional response to the uprising, which energized calls to reevaluate the Articles of Confederation and gave strong impetus to the Constitutional Convention which began in May 1787."

We know that, in common with other young men without land of their own, Daniel Shays hired himself out to work. According to a contemporary, by the early 1770s, Shays was living on a farm in Brookfield, where he was paid above the going rate for a laborer in recognition of his performance as a \"\"smart, active\"\" man. The same resident recalled that the young Daniel Shays \"\"had much taste for the military.\"\" When young men assembled for militia training days, some armed only with wooden guns and swords, Shays enthusiastically drilled them.

The events that became known as Shays' Rebellion came to symbolize the widespread discontent manifested throughout New England during the economic depression that followed the American Revolution. From 1781 until 1789, the United States was governed under a loose union of states called the Articles of Confederation. This government lacked the authority to regulate trade or to collect taxes. Although burgeoning public debt threatened the nation's credit, each state was responsible for paying its share of the staggering Revolutionary War debt. Merchants in eastern Massachusetts, anxious to pacify their foreign creditors, urged the state legislature to raise taxes to meet the debt. These taxes, which had to be paid in cash, were particularly burdensome to farmers, who traditionally relied on barter to see them through hard times. Those hardest hit usually lacked the property qualifications for voting and thus were unable to influence the government through the ballot. Many lost their farms through foreclosure for overdue debts and delinquent taxes. Others faced debtors prison."

Pontiac intended for each tribe to capture the closest fort and meet up to eliminate any remaining undefended settlements.

They almost succeeded in a full out revolution had the Massachusetts militia not come and put it down.

The Articles of Confederation actually didn't allow the national government (which was extremely weak at this time) to tax the peoples so that wasn't even an issue at the time. Although the idea of a national tax wasn't an issue, the abusive nature of local government taxation and collection activities was a major crisis. The lack of standardized currency, unrestricted state laws, and the lack of a bill of rights for citizens all promoted the rebellious response to persons being jailed for tax debts which were impossible to pay. The mounting strife lead to a shift from the Anti-Federalist movement toward the realized need for a Federal government to standardize and issue currency, supply and defend a Bill of Rights, and provide oversight to states rights."

The rebellion was led by Daniel Shays, a former captain in the Revolutionary army who had served with honor and distinction. He had worked his way up to the rank of captain and had even received a sword from the illustrious Marquis de Lafayette. He led a scrabbled group of about 2000 disgruntled farmers who, armed with pitchforks and the like, marched on country courthouses because they were losing their farms. They were owed back pay for military service and had been assured that, if they served in the war, they would not lose their land for unpaid taxes and debts that mounted during the conflict with Great Britain. Farmers grew indignant as they watched the furniture, grain and livestock of their relatives and neighbors sold off for much less than their value. As they saw a brother, father or cousin haled to debtors' court, charged high legal fees, and threatened with prison, the free farmers of western and central Massachusetts feared they would be reduced to the status of tenant farmers. ( For an intimate view of the life of a yeoman subsistence farmer, see Diary of Paul Smith of 1784. ) The Shays insurgents never imagined that their actions would lead to charges of treason against the republic. In fact, they naturally appealed to the republican principles they had fought for in 1776. \"\""

Consequently, levying and collecting federal taxes was a tricky issue. The whiskey rebellion erupted over the new federal tax on whiskey and Washington had to take decisive action to put down the rebellion and establish to power of the federal government to keep order and collect taxes. A related issue was setting up the US treasury and a new monetary system , as well as managing and paying off the war debts incurred by the various colonies and establishing a solid credit rating for the national government. Domestic difficulties Years of warfare had taken its toll on the US economy - the people mostly were facing hard times. The constitution did not receive unanimous support and the separate colonial government were used to controlling their own affairs. The still-existing conflict between states' rights and the power of the federal government was more extreme then than now. There was more fear of a new revolution which produced more restrictions on personal freedom."

Morethan a thousand rebels blocked courts, skirmished with state militia, and were ultimately defeated,and many of them were captured. But the rebellion bore fruit. Acknowledging widespread suffering,the state granted relief to debtors. More significantly, the rebellion had a strong influence on thefuture course of federal government. Because the federal government had been powerless under the Articles of Confederation to intervene, the Framers created a more powerful national government in the U. S. Constitution.

The Articles were proposed by Congress in 1777, were finally ratified in 1781 and they were an abject failure. Realizing that the Articles could not rightly be salvaged through mere modification, a group of delegates met in the summer of 1787 to fashion a completely new Constitution and therefore, a completely new government. The Constitution was not written by purple robed scholars, sitting in their ivory towers attempting to put abstract theories into play, but by men who had come to realize that their system of government was broken and who desired desperately to repair it. The preamble states what the Constitution was designed to accomplish. By briefly looking at each clause of the preamble individually we can glean insight into the minds of the authors, what they hoped to accomplish and what they hoped to avoid. “ We the People…” It is a basic premise of the American system that the people derive their rights from God and that the government derives its powers from the governed. Americans have traditionally rejected the concept that any person or any combination of persons has any special claim to power. Americans have also traditionally rejected the notion that rights can emanate from the government."

The post-war economy left farmers of western Massachusetts and throughout the 13 states in distress. Many were unable to pay debts with the worthless paper money issued by state governments. Captain Daniel Shays, a Continental Army veteran, led an attack on the federal arsenal in Springfield, Massachusetts, as part of an effort to close the courts where debt lawyers sued debtors. Volunteers put down the rebellion, but wealthy men throughout the new states were terrified that such a revolt might be repeated. To further their fears, Shays-ite candidates swept the Massachusetts legislature in the next election. Debtors’ uprisings like Shays’ Rebellion were a significant impetus for the Philadelphia convention to strengthen the American union. Alexander Hamilton first called for discussions on revising the Articles of Confederation based on improving economic relations in the new republic.

Among the birds that ended up in arid environments, the ones with beaks better suited for eating cactus got more food. As a result, they were in better condition to mate.

"text": "This article is from Journal of Creation 14 (1) :117–126—April 2000 Browse our latest digital issue Subscribe The history of the teaching of human female inferiority in Darwinismby Jerry Bergman Summary A review of the most prominent late 19 th century writings by biologists focusing on Charles Darwin reveals that a major plank of evolution theory was the belief that women were intellectually and physically inferior to men. Female inferiority was a logical conclusion of the natural selection worldview because men were exposed to far greater selective pressures than women, especially in war, competition for mates, food and clothing. Conversely, women were protected from evolutionary selection by norms which dictated that men were to provide for and protect women and children. Darwinists taught that as a result of this protection, natural selection operated far more actively on males, producing male superiority in virtually all skill areas. As a result, males evolved more than females. The female inferiority doctrine is an excellent example of the armchair logic that has often been more important in establishing evolutionary theory than fossil and other empirical evidence. Introduction The central mechanism of Darwinism is natural selection of the fittest, requiring differences in organisms from which nature can select. As a result of natural selection, inferior organisms are more likely to become extinct, and the superior groups are more likely to thrive and leave a greater number of offspring. 1The biological racism of late 19 th century Darwinism is now both well documented and widely publicized. Especially influential in the development of biological racism was the theory of eugenics developed by Charles Darwin’s cousin, Sir Francis Galton."

Darwin used these concepts to explain evolution. Learn about how these concepts are applied socially. Definition of Social Darwinism Social Darwinism is the conflict between social groups which results in the most socially capable or fit group coming out on top as the winner, usually in terms of influence and wealth. According to social Darwinism, rich people would succeed and poor people would fail. So where does social Darwinism come from? Remember Charles Darwin and his laws of natural selection and survival of the fittest? Let's briefly review these concepts before linking Charles Darwin to social Darwinism. Natural selection happens over time, when certain characteristics disappear because a species has no use for them, other characteristics prevail. For example, evolutionists believe that ducks developed webbed feet over time so that they could swim faster."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The term social Darwinism is used to refer to various ways of thinking and theories that emerged in the second half of the 19th century and tried to apply the evolutionary concept of natural selection to human society. The term itself emerged in the 1880s, and it gained widespread currency when used after 1944 by opponents of these ways of thinking. The majority of those who have been categorized as social Darwinists did not identify themselves by such a label. [ 1]Scholars debate the extent to which the various Social Darwinist ideologies reflect Charles Darwin 's own views on human social and economic issues. His writings have passages that can be interpreted as opposing aggressive individualism, while other passages appear to promote it. [ 2] Some scholars argue that Darwin's view gradually changed and came to incorporate views from other theorists such as Herbert Spencer. [ 3] Spencer published [4] his Lamarckian evolutionary ideas about society before Darwin first published his hypothesis in 1859, and both Spencer and Darwin promoted their own conceptions of moral values. Spencer supported laissez-faire capitalism on the basis of his Lamarckian belief that struggle for survival spurred self-improvement which could be inherited. [ 5] An important proponent in Germany was Ernst Haeckel, who popularized Darwin's thought (and personal interpretation of it) and used it as well to contribute to a new creed, the monist movement.

Natural selection explains design in nature. Charles Darwin studied beak variation of finches on the Galapagos Islands as evidence of natural selection. Illustration from BSCS, Biological Science: Molecules to Man, 1963. Futuyma: Natural selection is the process by which species adapt to their environment. Natural selection leads to evolutionary change when individuals with certain characteristics have a greater survival or reproductive rate than other individuals in a population and pass on these inheritable genetic characteristics to their offspring. Simply put, natural selection is a consistent difference in survival and reproduction between different genotypes, or even different genes, in what we could call reproductive success. [ A genotype is a group of organisms sharing a specific genetic makeup. ] The reason that natural selection is important is that it’s the central idea, stemming from Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace, that explains design in nature."

This lesson will discuss evolutionary fitness, natural selection and how they might relate to the evolution of the human mind. What Is Evolutionary Fitness? Evolutionary Fitness is how well a species is able to reproduce in its environment. If they're no longer reproducing then they are no longer evolutionarily fit. For example, you did not ride a Tyrannosaurus rex to the store. Why not?"

Flag What is difference between social Darwinism and reform Darwinism? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. The idea of social Darwinism was created by English philosopher Herbert Spencer and Yale professor William Graham Sumner by applying Darwin's theory of evolution to society as a whole. Social Darwinism is the theory that the fittest in the social order survive, just as the fittest in nature survive. According to this theory, the only reason that the rich are rich is because they were the most fit to become so, and if the laborers were fit to do the same then they would be rich as well. Reform Darwinism, created by Brown University Professor Lester Frank Ward, follows the idea that because humans are intelligent beings, we can affect natural selection. Contrasting the social Darwinism thought of \"\"survival of the fittest,\"\" reform Darwinism argues that government and society should make as many people as possible \"\"fit to survive.\"\" The main difference between the two schools of thought is that social Darwinists believe that however social hierarchy exists, it is solely because the \"\"fittest\"\" rose to the top, reform Darwinists believe that the whole of society should be given the opportunities and resources to be able to rise to the top, rather than just the wealthy being able to do so.7 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Dubbed ‘the philosopher of the Evolution movement’, 1 he published a theory of evolution seven years before Darwin. After reading the Origin, he became the first to apply Darwinian principles rigorously to society, a concept now known as Social Darwinism. Early life and education Born in Derby, England, in 1820, Herbert was a sickly child and the only one of nine siblings to survive infancy. His education included several years of home-schooling by his school-teacher father, George, who “sought to stimulate individuality rather than to inform”. 2 He also implanted strong anti-establishment and anti-clerical views in his son. As a teenager, Herbert lived with his uncle, the Rev. Thomas Spencer, who offered to send him to Cambridge University. However, Herbert declined this, so his relatively restricted higher education mostly resulted from his own reading. He absorbed the evolutionary concepts of Erasmus Darwin (Charles’ grandfather 3) and Lamarck, and at age 20, Lyell’s long-age geology. Along the way he acquired an opposition to discipline and authority, especially political and religious."

"text": "\"Herman Mays, Evolutionary biologist, museum curator, zoologist and professor teaching evolution, genetics and general bi... Answered Jun 15, 2011Originally Answered: Is evolution by natural selection a random process? Evolution by natural selection is not a random process. Selection is a function of particular environments. Individuals with certain characteristics in a particular environment will contribute more offspring to the next generation relative to other individuals with an alternative set of characteristics. The greater relative contribution of some individuals over others can be due to a survival advantage, an advantage in finding and securing mates or fertility, or all of the above, either way it doesn't matter, all that matters in terms of selection is that some individuals are contributing more to the next generation relative to others. Because there are certain characteristics that outperform other characteristics in the context of a particular environment then the process of selection is not random rather it is contingent on the environment. The differential representation of the offspring of some individuals relative to others is evolutionary fitness. It is important to note that fitness is always defined in relative terms, thus avoiding the circular argument of \"\"survival of the fittest\"\" (a phrase first used not by Darwin but by Herbert Spencer and only appearing in later editions of Darwin's Origin of Species ). The relative nature of natural selection is important to understand. Selection does not produce best-of-all-worlds solutions."

Darwin developed a scientific theory of biological evolution that explains how modern organisms evolved over long periods of time through descent from common ancestors. Charles Darwin was born in England on February 12, 1809. He grew up at a time when the scientific view of the natural world was shifting dramatically. Geologists were suggesting that Earth was ancient and had changed over time, and biologists were suggesting that life on Earth had also changed. The process of change over time is called evolution. Darwin developed a scientific theory of biological evolution that explains how modern organisms evolved over long periods of time through descent from common ancestors. Darwin was invited to sail on the HMS Beagle's five-year voyage mapping the coastline of South America."

He articulated and rigorously formulated the \"\" Classical\"\" system of political economy. The legacy of Ricardo dominated economic thinking throughout most of the 19th Century. David Ricardo's family was descended from Portuguese Jews who had fled to Holland during a wave of persecutions in the early 18th Century. His father, Abraham Israel Ricardo, was a Dutch-born stockbroker in Amsterdam who emigrated to London, England around 1760 to trade British funds on behalf of Dutch clients. ( It was after arrival in London when the long-time family surname \"\"Israel Ricardo\"\" became simply reduced to \"\"Ricardo\"\"). Abraham rose to prominence in the City of London, holding one of the twelve brokerships open to Jews on the London Stock Exchange. He also became an active and distinguished figure among the local Sephardic Jewish community. Abraham married Abigail Delvalle in 1769, who went on to bear him seventeen children - fifteen of whom grew up to adulthood! David Ricardo, born on April 18, 1772, was the third of nine sons (six of whom, like David, ended up entering the stockbrokering trade in London)."

He was 88. Montalban’s death was first announced at a city council meeting by president Eric Garcetti, who represents the district where the actor lived. He died “from complications of advancing age,” his son-in-law, Gilbert Smith, later said. “He was so gracious, and Aaron was always humbled by Ricardo’s gratitude for ’Fantasy Island,” said Candy Spelling, wife of the late Aaron Spelling, who created the show. “ I miss him already, and wish his family well. ”Montalban had been a star in Mexican movies when MGM brought him to Hollywood in 1946. He was cast in the leading role opposite Esther Williams in “Fiesta,” and starred again with the swimming beauty in “On an Island with You” and “Neptune’s Daughter. ”But Montalban was best known as the faintly mysterious, white-suited Mr. Roarke, who presided over a tropical island resort where visitors fulfilled their lifelong dreams — usually at the unexpected expense of a difficult life lesson. “ I am Mr. Roarke, your host."

"text": "\"Modern History Sourcebook: David Ricardo: The Iron Law of Wages, 1817David Ricardo (1772-1823), an English banker was also an important early economist. His most well-known argument was that wages \"\"naturally\"\" tended towards a minimum level corresponding to the subsistence needs of the workers. The attraction of this idea for factory owners is evident. It also influenced Marx in his early pessimistic views about the possibility of workers benefiting from capitalism. Ricardo's views on the \"\"labor theory of value\"\" were also important in Marx's economic thought. From David Ricardo. On Wages Money, from its being a commodity obtained from a foreign country, from its being the general medium of exchange between all civilized countries, and from its being also distributed among those countries in proportions which are ever changing with every improvement in commerce and machinery, and with every increasing difficulty of obtaining food and necessaries for an increasing population, is subject to incessant variations. In stating the principles which regulate exchangeable value and price, we should carefully distinguish between those variations which belong to the commodity itself, and those which are occasioned by a variation in the medium in which value is estimated, or price expressed. A rise in wages, from an alteration in the value of money, produces a general effect on price, and for that reason it produces no real effect whatever on profits. On the contrary, a rise of wages, from the circumstance of the labourer being more liberally rewarded, or from a difficulty of procuring the necessaries on which wages are expended, does not, except in some instances, produce the effect of raising price, but has a great effect in lowering profits."

"text": "The a Priori Method in Economics – In Defense of Ludwig von Mises Essay Detlev S Schlichter 05/12/2014Print I gave a speech on this topic at the Libertarian Alliance in March. A link to the video recording of that speech is here. The following essay covers similar ground but is not identical with the speech. I develop the argument differently here. My hope is that this text is a better articulation of my views and hopefully a good basis for further debate. The topic of this essay is broadly the method of economics: What phenomena does economics deal with? How do economists develop and test economic theories? What type of statements are the “laws of economics”, and what are they useful for? Such far-reaching and deep issues cannot be covered adequately in an essay, so the following must remain a brief outline. The position I take on these questions is that of Ludwig von Mises, whose views remain controversial to say the least, even among many who are otherwise sympathetic to his positions (as, for example are David Ramsey Steele, David Mc Donagh, and J. C. Lester, all of whom I rate highly as writers and libertarian thinkers."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The law or principle of comparative advantage holds that under free trade, an agent will produce more of and consume less of a good for which they have a comparative advantage. [ 1] Comparative advantage is the economic reality describing the work gains from trade for individuals, firms, or nations, which arise from differences in their factor endowments or technological progress. [ 2] In an economic model, agents have a comparative advantage over others in producing a particular good if they can produce that good at a lower relative opportunity cost or autarky price, i.e. at a lower relative marginal cost prior to trade. [ 3] One does not compare the monetary costs of production or even the resource costs (labor needed per unit of output) of production. Instead, one must compare the opportunity costs of producing goods across countries. [ 4]David Ricardo developed the classical theory of comparative advantage in 1817 to explain why countries engage in international trade even when one country's workers are more efficient at producing every single good than workers in other countries. He demonstrated that if two countries capable of producing two commodities engage in the free market, then each country will increase its overall consumption by exporting the good for which it has a comparative advantage while importing the other good, provided that there exist differences in labor productivity between both countries. [ 5] [6] Widely regarded as one of the most powerful [7] yet counter-intuitive [8] insights in economics, Ricardo's theory implies that comparative advantage rather than absolute advantage is responsible for much of international trade.

Malthus is widely regarded as the founder of modern demography. He made the prediction that population would outrun food supply, leading to a decrease in food per person and so to widespread famine. He thus advocated sexual abstinence and late marriages as methods of controlling the population growth. The influence of Malthus' theories was substantial. His theory of demand-supply mismatches, which he termed \"\"gluts\"\" was a precursor to later theories about the Great Depression, and to the works of admirer and economist John Maynard Keynes. Malthus' idea of humanity’s \"\"Struggle for existence” also had a decisive influence on Charles Darwin and evolutionary theory. Although Malthus opposed the use of contraception to limit population growth, his work had a strong influence on Francis Place, whose Neo-Malthusian movement was the first to advocate contraception. Concerns based on Malthus' theory also helped promote the idea of a national population Census in the UK. His writings also were also influential in bringing about the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834."

[ 1] [ 2]Classical liberalism developed in the 19th century in Europe and the United States. Although classical liberalism built on ideas that had already developed by the end of the 18th century, it advocated a specific kind of society, government and public policy as a response to the Industrial Revolution and urbanization. [ 3] Notable individuals whose ideas have contributed to classical liberalism include John Locke [ 4], Jean-Baptiste Say, Thomas Malthus and David Ricardo. It drew on the economics of Adam Smith and on a belief in natural law [ 5], utilitarianism [ 6], and progress. [ 7]There was a revival of interest in classical liberalism in the 20th century led by Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman. [ 8] Some call the modern development of classical liberalism \"\" neo-classical liberalism ,\"\" which argued for government to be as small as possible in order to allow the exercise of individual freedom, while some refer to all liberalism before the 20th century as classical liberalism. [ 9]The term classical liberalism was applied in retrospect to distinguish earlier 19th-century liberalism from the newer social liberalism. [ 10]Libertarianism has been used in modern times as a substitute for the phrase \"\"neo-classical liberalism\"\", leading to some confusion. The identification of libertarianism with neo-classical liberalism primarily occurs in the United States, [ 11] where some conservatives and right-libertarians use the term classical liberalism to describe their belief in the primacy of economic freedom and minimal government.

[ 2] Malthus himself used only his middle name, Robert. [ 3]In his 1798 book An Essay on the Principle of Population, Malthus observed that an increase in a nation's food production improved the well-being of the populace, but the improvement was temporary because it led to population growth, which in turn restored the original per capita production level. In other words, mankind had a propensity to utilize abundance for population growth rather than for maintaining a high standard of living, a view that has become known as the \"\" Malthusian trap \"\" or the \"\"Malthusian spectre\"\". Populations had a tendency to grow until the lower class suffered hardship and want and greater susceptibility to famine and disease, a view that is sometimes referred to as a Malthusian catastrophe. Malthus wrote in opposition to the popular view in 18th-century Europe that saw society as improving and in principle as perfectible. [ 4] He saw population growth as being inevitable whenever conditions improved, thereby precluding real progress towards a utopian society: \"\"The power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man\"\". [ 5] As an Anglican cleric, Malthus saw this situation as divinely imposed to teach virtuous behaviour. ["

"text": "Thomas Malthus, in full Thomas Robert Malthus, (born February 13/14, 1766, Rookery, near Dorking, Surrey, England—died December 29, 1834, St. Catherine, near Bath, Somerset), English economist and demographer who is best known for his theory that population growth will always tend to outrun the food supply and that betterment of humankind is impossible without stern limits on reproduction. This thinking is commonly referred to as Malthusianism. Academic development Malthus was born into a prosperous family. His father, a friend of the philosopher and skeptic David Hume, was deeply influenced by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, whose book Émile (1762) may have been the source of the elder Malthus’s liberal ideas about educating his son. The young Malthus was educated largely at home until his admission to Jesus College, Cambridge, in 1784. There he studied a wide range of subjects and took prizes in Latin and Greek, graduating in 1788. He earned his master of arts degree in 1791, was elected a fellow of Jesus College in 1793, and took holy orders in 1797. His unpublished pamphlet “The Crisis,” written in 1796, supported the newly proposed Poor Laws, which recommended establishing workhouses for the impoverished. This view ran somewhat counter to the views on poverty and population that Malthus published two years later. Professional achievements In 1804 Malthus married Harriet Eckersall, and in 1805 he became a professor of history and political economy at the East India Company ’s college at Haileybury, Hertfordshire."

"text": "\"Communism Any ideology based on the communal ownership of all property and a classless social structure, with economic production and distribution to be directed and regulated by means of an authoritative economic plan that supposedly embodies the interests of the community as a whole. Karl Marx is today the most famous early theoretician of communism, but he did not invent the term or the basic social ideals, which he mostly borrowed and adapted from the less systematic theories of earlier French utopian socialists -- grafting these onto a philosophical framework Marx derived from the German philosophers Hegel and Feuerbach, while adding in a number of economic theories derived from his reinterpretation of the writings of such early political economists such as Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus, and David Ricardo. In most versions of the communist utopia, everyone would be expected to co-operate enthusiastically in the process of production, but the individual citizen's equal rights of access to consumer goods would be completely unaffected by his/her own individual contribution to production -- hence Karl Marx's famous slogan \"\"From each according to his ability; to each according to his need.\"\" The Marxian and other 19th century communist utopias also were expected to dispense with such \"\"relics of the past\"\" as trading, money, prices, wages, profits, interest, land-rent, calculations of profit and loss, contracts, banking, insurance, lawsuits, etc. It was expected that such a radical reordering of the economic sphere of life would also more or less rapidly lead to the elimination of all other major social problems such as class conflict, political oppression, racial discrimination, the inequality of the sexes, religious bigotry, and cultural backwardness -- as well as put an end to such more \"\"psychological\"\" forms of suffering as alienation, anomie, and feelings of powerlessness. The specifically Marxist-Leninist variant of socialism which emphasizes that a truly communist society can be achieved only through the violent overthrow of capitalism and the establishment of a \"\"dictatorship of the proletariat\"\" that is to prepare the way for the future idealized society of communism under the authoritarian guidance of a hierarchical and disciplined Communist Party. A world-wide revolutionary political movement inspired by the October Revolution (Red Oktober) in Russia in 1917 and advocating the establishment everywhere of political, economic, and social institutions and policies modeled on those of the Soviet Union (or, in some later versions, China or Albania) as a means for eventually attaining a communist society.

"text": "The price (P) of a product is determined by a balance between production at each price (supply, S) and the desires of those with purchasing power at each price (demand, D). The diagram shows a positive shift in demand from D 1 to D 2, resulting in an increase in price and quantity sold (Q) of the product. Supply and demand is a model of microeconomics. It describes how a price is formed in a market economy. There are two determining factors on such a market, the number of things made available, called supply, and the number of things consumers want, called demand. Supply and demand shows how producers and consumers interact with each other. This relationship will fix the price for a certain type of good. In perfect competition, the quantity demanded (demand) and the quantity supplied will be equal. This will fix the price. There will be economic equilibrium."

It was published by Sega and released for Windows, Play Station 3, Play Station 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One in October 2014. The game is set 15 years after the events of the 1979 Alien film and follows Amanda Ripley, daughter of Alien protagonist Ellen Ripley, as she investigates the disappearance of her mother. Unlike previous game adaptations of the Alien franchise, Alien: Isolation places a emphasis on stealth and survival horror gameplay, requiring the player to avoid and outsmart a single alien creature with tools such as a motion tracker and flamethrower. It was designed to more resemble the original Alien film than the more action-oriented 1986 sequel Aliens, and features a similar lo-fi, 1970s vision of what the future would look like. The game runs on an engine built from scratch to accommodate technical aspects such as atmospheric and lighting effects and the alien's behaviour. Creative Assembly intended to make Alien: Isolation a third-person game, but used first-person to create a more intense experience. Alien: Isolation received generally positive reviews and had sold over two million copies by May 2015. Critics praised the game's retro-futuristic art direction, sound design, and the alien's artificial intelligence, but criticised its story, characters, and long runtime. The game won several year-end awards, including Best Audio at the 2015 Game Developers Choice Awards and Audio Achievement at the 2015 British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards."

Here she shares her joy... and exhaustion!By Helen Weathers for the Daily Mail Updated: 22:54 EDT, 27 January 201238View comments Peering at the two blue lines on the pregnancy test, Debbie Hughes reached for her reading glasses to check that her eyes weren’t deceiving her. Fast approaching her 53rd birthday, she thought she was too old to conceive naturally and, besides, she was on the Pill. It was impossible, she thought, her stomach ‘lurching with shock’. Panic rising, she re-read the instruction leaflet convinced there must be some mistake, or that the test was faulty. A second positive test, however, left no room for doubt. Life-changing: Debbie Hughes with her son Kyle, who she conceived naturally at 53 even though she was on the Pill‘When I saw the two blue lines my heart was thumping so hard I thought it would burst out of my chest,’ says Debbie, a grandmother-of-two. ‘ My first thought was, “I’m too old, this can’t be right”. ’Debbie had only taken the test because her partner Paul Clarke, 45, a heavy goods vehicle driver, had joked ‘Are you pregnant?’ when she complained of a bloated tummy after they’d shared a pizza."

Katie Yu/Mar Vista Entertainment It’s clear the indie kids will triumph in “Radio Rebel” from the first time you see Tara (Debby Ryan) in the hall of her high school, wearing a slouchy knit hat and flannel that scream “Seattle, 1991.”Tara is an outsider, natch, but she also anonymously hosts an Internet radio show on which she shares her true feelings, groaning about the atomization of her peers into cruel cliques. In school every day, she’s invisible. Online, she’s a folk hero. “Radio Rebel,” a film appearing on the Disney Channel on Friday night, is “Pump Up the Volume” for rugrats, a splash of anti-establishment insouciance between all of this network’s shiny-cheeked go-getters and goofballs. ( It’s also territory that the Nickelodeon offshoot the N got to several years ago with “Radio Free Roscoe. ”)Ms. Ryan is a product of the Disney Channel farm system: she’s had pickup work on “Wizards of Waverly Place” and “Hannah Montana”; a big role on “The Suite Life on Deck”; and now the lead on “Jessie,” which had its premiere in the fall. She comes off like a less peppy version of Demi Lovato (who preceded her as the Disney Channel’s would-be alt star)."

When you leave the city on a Greyhound bus, it kind of begs the question about whether your character is off the show. Throughout Shameless Season 7, Carl has matured a lot and that's part of why Dom's dad helped him get the place in military school. Working on a show for seven years is a huge commitment, especially for a young actor. Going to military school was the best way for Carl's storyline to actually progress. It would have felt like a wrong move to stay in the South Side with Dom. Dom is not worth the trouble at this stage. She abused Carl's trust several times during their relationship.

The Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs (WASPC) is seeking legislation that will provide additional authority to the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission (CJTC) to decertify law enforcement officers under some very narrow circumstances. Currently the CJTC can only decertify officers who have been discharged from their employment and all appeals have been completed. This proposed legislation enables the CJTC to proceed with decertification for officers who have sustained violations for truthfulness or criminal violations while on duty regardless of their employment status. It is important to note that this action cannot be taken by the CJTC until all reviews of the sustained finding have been upheld through the normal disciplinary/arbitration process. This simply allows the CJTC to take the decertification action whether the officer/deputy has been ordered back to work or not."

As Kyle is led off to the bus to jail, a much more dangerous criminal, Julio Rentoria promises two million dollars to anyone who can break him out of jail. Horatio, after telling Tripp he hasn't yet revealed to Kyle that he is the boy's father, asks the detective to ride on the bus to make sure it gets to its destination safely. On the road, a truck hits the bus head on and several prisoners escape, including Julio and Kyle. Tripp fires at what appears to be a man with a gun, but when the dust clears, the body of a young deaf woman named Veronica Eckland lies on the ground, and Tripp fears he's responsible. Kyle quickly turns himself into Horatio, who reluctantly returns the boy to police custody. Calleigh is relieved when she can clear Tripp of Veronica's death, and she matches the bullet to a gun belonging to a man named Barry Slater. Barry admits he was at the scene to help free Julio and collect the two million, but claims his gun and bike were both stolen. The bike is traced and found with one of the escaped convicts, Oscar Monahan, who is facing serious jail time via the Three Strikes law. Natalia bags the keys to the bike but is rushed off by Ryan to a shooting lesson with an expert at the gun range."

"text": "\"The actor Dennis Weaver became best known in the classic western television series Gunsmoke as a lanky, but limping deputy, an amiable sidekick. But Weaver, who has died of cancer at 81, combined in real life various talents, including trade unionism, Olympic-level athletics, and pioneering environmentalism. The star of Gunsmoke was the legendary marshal Matt Dillon, played by James Arness, but during Weaver's time in the series, from 1955 to 1964, he not only won an Emmy for supporting actor, but with his pronounced drawl became its fans' favourite character. But he said of the series, one of the longest-running ever: \"\"I knew that if I kept playing until Gunsmoke was over, I would never play anything else.\"\" So he left. Immediately following Gunsmoke, he starred in Kentucky Jones, a comedy-drama about a veterinarian-horse trainer who adopts a Chinese orphan. Despite good reviews, after a modest 26 weeks NBC dropped the show. Then came Gentle Ben in 1967, about a game warden, his family, and a large pet bear. It lasted two seasons. After Gunsmoke, his next longest run was Mc Cloud, named after a sex symbol deputy marshal from the old Indian town of Taos, New Mexico, loaned to New York city police, who sometimes rode his horse through its streets."

"text": "\"Home Introduction Biography My books My Articles (etc. ) Evangelical Who Is the Suffering Servant of Isaiah 53? August 22, 2012 by Roger E. Olson 63 Comments Who Is the Suffering Servant of Isaiah 53? I don’t remember when or where it happened, but I remember the shock I felt when I first heard that many, perhaps most, Old Testament scholars, including many evangelical Christians, deny that Isaiah 53 refers to Jesus. It was a shock of bewilderment; why would they say that? Christians have generally, since the beginning (Acts 8) believed the Suffering Servant described there is Jesus. Why is it important? Well, the debate over the atonement depends, in part, at least, on what one believes about Isaiah 53. A case for vicarious sacrifice, penal substitution, might be made without reference to it, but, generally speaking, that chapter has played a crucial role in developing and defending so-called “objective” theories of the atonement such as those. I’m well aware now of the scholarly reasons for saying the Suffering Servant is Israel and not Jesus, but only two seem to me to carry some weight. ("

LEE FEB. 28, 2006Dennis Weaver, whose portrayal of Deputy Chester Goode in the classic television western \"\"Gunsmoke\"\" made him the favorite sidekick of the early television era, died on Friday at his home in Ridgway, Colo. He was 81. The cause was complications of cancer, said Julian Myers, his publicist. The lanky Mr. Weaver became famous for his limping deputy with a drawl, the buddy of Marshal Matt Dillon, a portrayal for which he won an Emmy in 1959. But he starred in nine television series. From 1955 to 1964, he was on \"\"Gunsmoke,\"\" the longest-running prime-time drama series on television. He also starred in \"\"Gentle Ben,\"\" from 1967 to 1969, playing Tom Wedloe, an Everglades ranger who adopts a black bear as a pet. He went from nerd to sex symbol in \"\"Mc Cloud,\"\" playing Sam Mc Cloud, a New Mexico deputy marshal on loan to the New York City police, who sometimes rode his horse through the city streets. \"\" Mc Cloud,\"\" which was broadcast from 1970 to 1977, earned him two Emmy nominations. Mr. Weaver also had leading roles in 40 motion pictures, including Orson Welles's 1958 film \"\"Touch of Evil,\"\" and the 1971 classic \"\"Duel,\"\" directed by a young Steven Spielberg, made for television but released theatrically in Europe."

"text": "\"14 Things You Might Not Know About Aliens BY Eric D Snider April 26, 201720th Century Fox James Cameron’s follow-up to Ridley Scott’s sci-fi masterpiece launched a thousand “ Alien vs. Aliens ” debates—one of the few times in film history where you could assert that the sequel was better than the original and even be taken seriously. ( We decline to take a position on this controversial issue. We love both movies.) Aliens was a giant hit with critics and audiences alike, leading to two more sequels and whatever Prometheus was. In honor of Alien Day, here are some facts about the production to enhance your next viewing of the slimy ’80s action sci-fi classic.1. CONAN THE DESTROYER HELPED IT GET MADE. The movie, not the guy. Based on the strength of his script for The Terminator (then in pre-production), James Cameron was approached by 20th Century Fox to write an Alien sequel. But the outline he came up with for Alien II got a lukewarm reaction at Fox, and the idea was put on hold for the time being. Then, as luck would have it, the start date for The Terminator was pushed back nine months so that Arnold Schwarzenegger could make Conan the Destroyer, the sequel to his 1982 hit (in which Conan had been merely a Barbarian)."

February 6, 2018 No Comments on The Difficulty in Diagnosis: Shell Shock and the Case of Private Dennis R. Kandace Bogaert During the First World War more than 15,000 Canadian soldiers were diagnosed with combat related psychological illnesses. [ i] While the term shell shock retained social currency long after the war, it was banned as a diagnosis in the military in 1917. Too many soldiers were being evacuated from the trenches, and shell shock had become an ambiguous catch all for a variety of ailments grouped together as the “war neuroses”. [ ii] But what happened to these soldiers when their symptoms reappeared after the war? Piecing together the personal history of one veteran, Private Dennis R., demonstrates how difficult it was to attribute psychological illnesses to war service and receive treatment or a pension in the post-war period. [ iii] This issue is particularly relevant on the heels of media reports that Canada’s mental health care system is woefully inadequate to deal with returned Afghanistan veterans, [iv] and that both suicide and post-traumatic stress disorder are reported to have reached crisis proportions among Canada’s returned veterans.

All of these must be dealt with within the law and that task falls to Matt Dillon, US Marshal (James Arness). Dillon is a man who prefers the use of logic over the use of the gun but the nature of the people passing through Dodge doesn't always leave him that choice. Aided by various assistants and deputies over the years (played by Dennis Weaver, Burt Reynolds, and Ken Curtis), he does his best to keep the lawless element out of his town and his territory.

"text": "\"The Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, on April 19, 1993. Bob Daemmrich/AFP/Getty To many people, the most notable thing about the ongoing takeover of a federal government building in Burns, Oregon, is what it doesn't resemble: law enforcement's response to groups of nonwhite protesters, which is often much more aggressive even when the protesters are not armed, occupying government property, or issuing vague threats about being willing to respond with violence. Did I miss the call for the national guard in Oregon? I recall them in Ferguson and Baltimore. # Oregon Under Attack— rolandsmartin (@rolandsmartin) January 3, 2016But it's hardly unthinkable that law enforcement officials would respond aggressively to armed white right-wing extremists. In the early 1990s, in two high-profile standoffs at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, and Waco, Texas, that's exactly what they did. And it turned out disastrously for them. If you want to know why the federal government isn't going into the headquarters of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge with guns blazing (or even firing tear gas canisters through the windows), you need to understand the standoffs at Ruby Ridge and Waco, and the mistakes the government learned to avoid. This isn't to say the events at Ruby Ridge and Waco demonstrate that there isn't a double standard when it comes to law enforcement's response to radical protests. To the contrary."

Formed in 1972, the band took its name from the Greek word for \"\"rock\"\". Though it disbanded formally in 2006, incarnations have played reunion shows in the years since and released an album in November 2010. In 2013, it reformed with a new drummer, Cristian Borneo, and recorded a new song titled \"\"Holy is Your Name\"\", before going back on tour. With a style initially similar to The Eagles and Lynyrd Skynyrd, Petra's sound evolved into a more energetic, driving rock sound in the early 1980s akin to Foreigner, Styx and Journey. Throughout the 1980s and into the early 1990s, Petra was one of the world's most popular Christian rock bands, with each of its albums during that period selling hundreds of thousands of copies while the band sold out arenas and regularly placed songs at the top of Christian radio charts. With its lyrics, music and style, Petra influenced numerous other artists at a time when Christian rock experienced strong opposition from many conservative pastors and churches. In more than three decades, the band experienced numerous lineup changes yet released 20 studio albums, as well as two Spanish-language and two live albums, selling nearly 10 million copies while being nominated for 13 Grammy Awards, winning four, and winning 10 Dove Awards. Its biggest hit, \"\"The Coloring Song,\"\" reached the top position on three Christian radio charts simultaneously, and at its peak, the band's tours rivaled Amy Grant 's in popularity among Christian audiences. Petra was the first rock band inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame and the first Christian band whose memorabilia was included in the Hard Rock Cafe restaurant chain."

Now you must understand that an actual pork shoulder is very big and most of us usually only smoke a pork butt or a pork picnic roast which is the two parts of an actual pork shoulder. I Prefer the bone in pork butt which normally runs about 8 pounds or so. They say the meat is sweeter when it cooks with the bone in and I happen to agree. When I get ready to do my favorite pork shoulder recipe which is basically a nice pork butt rubbed down real good with my own proprietary rub recipe and smoked with a good dose of oak and some apricot or peach or some other fruit wood, I like to find a piece of meat that has lots of good fat marbling. This keeps the meat moist in the smoker and guarantees some excellent flavor. Apply the Rub with Mustard I always rub the pork shoulder down with a light layer of French's yellow mustard to help the rub to stick better throughout the smoke and apply about 1/2 to 3/4 cups of my rub to the outside of the meat being careful to massage it into every nick and cranny. Note: the mustard will lose its flavor during the smoking and will only leave a nice brown crust so you need not worry that your pork will taste like mustard.. it won't. Smoke the Pork Shoulder Prepare the smoker as you normally would to maintain a 225°F in the smoker and lay the pork shoulder right on the grate for the long smoke. How Long Does it Take?"

By Cori Brosnahan To tell the story of Ruby Ridge — a standoff between the federal government and the heavily-armed Weaver family in the remote hills of Idaho — filmmakers Barak Goodman and Emily Chapman interviewed eye witnesses, including federal agents on the ground, journalists who reported the story, and a member of the Weaver family. This three-part narrative draws directly from the transcripts of those interviews, exploring how a seemingly small infraction — failure to appear in court for sawing off shotguns — escalated into a tragic standoff that ignited a powder keg of tension, and served as a calling card for the modern American militia movement.

"text": "Chapter 7 Rene Descartes Descartes (pronounced Deck Art) was a French philosopher and mathematician whose articulate reasoning about the nature of animals was and is still widely held by many people, to the detriment of animals. Descartes (1596 - 1650) maintained that animals cannot reason and do not feel pain; animals are living organic creatures, but they are automata, like mechanical robots. Descartes held that only humans are conscious, have minds and souls, can learn and have language and therefore only humans are deserving of compassion. Descartes is widely interpreted as philosophising that animals are mechanical robots incapable of thinking or feeling pain. An alternative view is that he did not in his heart feel this about animals. I leave it to Descartes scholars to elucidate. See Cottingham (1978): Philosophy 53. A Brute to the Brutes. Unfortunately for animals, science adopted his view. Scientists maintained that animals are like unfeeling robots up to and for most of the 20th century, and some 21st century scientists still hold on to this idea more or less."

Mind versus Body How is the mind—our thoughts, feelings, and ideas—related to the body and brain? Are they the same, or are they different and separate entities? The relationship between the mind and body/brain has been debated for centuries and the early predominate belief was that the mind and body were separate entitiesmind-body dualism Descartes' philosophical assumption that some human behaviors are bodily reflexes that are automatically elicited by external stimulation, while other behaviors are freely chosen and controlled by the mind. Automatic versus controlled processing One of the great contributions of Sigmund Freud to psychology was his emphasis on unconscious mental activities that influence and even control our thoughts and behaviors. Now, in the age of neuroscience, Freud's ideas have been radically updated and revised. Much of our normal thinking, perceiving, and acting occurs through brain processes that work automatically, often because we have learned to do them so well and practiced them so much that they occur whether or not we are aware of their occurrence. For example, as you read these words, your visual system quickly and effortlessly translates black lines on a white background into words that have meaning. This is automatic processing, and you can't avoid it. ( Look at the following word but do not read it: FORK)."

"text": "\"Pre-Socratic Philosophy | Classical Philosophy | Other Ancient Philosophical Schools | Medieval Philosophy | Early Modern Philosophy | 19th Century Philosophy | 20th Century Philosophy For younger readers and those with short attention spans, here is my own abbreviated and simplified history of Western Philosophy, all on one (long) page. The explanations are necessarily simplistic and lacking in detail, though, and the links should be followed for more information. Pre-Socratic Philosophy Back to Top Western Philosophy - by which we usually mean everything apart from the Eastern Philosophy of China, India, Japan, Persia, etc - really began in Ancient Greece in about the 6th Century B. C. Thales of Miletus is usually considered the first proper philosopher, although he was just as concerned with natural philosophy (what we now call science) as with philosophy as we know it. Thales and most of the other Pre-Socratic philosophers (i.e. those who lived before Socrates) limited themselves in the main to Metaphysics (enquiry into the nature of existence, being and the world ). They were Materialists (they believed that all things are composed of material and nothing else) and were mainly concerned with trying to establish the single underlying substance the world is made up of (a kind of Monism ), without resorting to supernatural or mythological explanations. For instance, Thales thought the whole universe was composed of different forms of water; Amaximenes concluded it was was made of air; Heraclitus thought it was fire; and Anaximander some unexplainable substance usually translated as \"\" the infinite \"\" or \"\" the boundless \"\". Another issue the Pre-Socratics wrestled with was the so-called problem of change, how things appear to change from one form to another. At the extremes, Heraclitus believed in an on-going process of perpetual change, a constant interplay of opposites; Parmenides, on the other hand, using a complicated deductive argument, denied that there was any such thing as change at all, and argued that everything that exists is permanent, indestructible and unchanging. This might sound like an unlikely proposition, but Parmenides 's challenge was well-argued and was important in encouraging other philosophers to come up with convincing counter-arguments. Zeno of Elea was a student of Parmenides, and is best known for his famous paradoxes of motion (the best known of which is that of the Achilles and the Hare ), which helped to lay the foundations for the study of Logic."

The famous French philosopher and mathematician René Descartes (1596-1650), known as the Father of Modern Philosophy, declared \"\"I think therefore I am.\"\" Much of his work attempted to defy skepticism, a prominent ideology for the French intellectuals of the day. In addition, much of his philosophical thinking lead him to speculate about the connection between the mind and the body, which is what this quote focuses upon. Descartes: “I Think Therefore I Am”Descartes was dissatisfied with the scholastic philosophers of his time. He wanted a fresh look on philosophy and developed his own method of radical doubt. The cogito argument is what Descartes used as the basis of this method to discover whether our beliefs were to be trusted, which led him to the conclusion \"\"I think, therefore I am. \"\" In his work Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting One’s Reason and of Seeking Truth in the Sciences published in 1637 Descartes sets up his method of inquiry starting with the influential precept that he was \"\"never to accept anything for true which I did not clearly know to be such.\"\" In part IV, he begins to build his theory beginning with the three things that he knows to be free of doubt—doubt is based on reason, reason says a God has to exist, and, of course, there has to be something to do the doubting."

He published other works that deal with problems of method, but this remains central in any understanding of the Cartesian method of science. The common picture of Descartes is as one who proposed that all science become demonstrative in the way Euclid made geometry demonstrative, namely as a series of valid deductions from self-evident truths, rather than as something rooted in observation and experiment. Descartes is usually portrayed as one who defends and uses an a priori method to discover infallible knowledge, a method rooted in a doctrine of innate ideas that yields an intellectual knowledge of the essences of the things with which we are acquainted in our sensible experience of the world. This metaphysics of essences and the accompanying a priori method are then contrasted to the method of Newton, Bacon and the British empiricists, who denied the metaphysics of essences and the doctrine of innate ideas, and for whom knowledge of the world of sensible appearances was to be located, not by going outside it to a realm of essences, but by applying the method of experiment through which one could trace out the patterns in this world of causes and effects. There is something to this standard picture, but Descartes’ thought, like that of the empiricists, goes far beyond this simple description. In fact, Descartes sought to found our knowledge of things as much in experience and in experiment as in things a priori.

"text": "René Descartes First published Wed Dec 3, 2008; substantive revision Thu Jan 16, 2014René Descartes (1596–1650) was a creative mathematician of the first order, an important scientific thinker, and an original metaphysician. During the course of his life, he was a mathematician first, a natural scientist or “natural philosopher” second, and a metaphysician third. In mathematics, he developed the techniques that made possible algebraic (or “analytic”) geometry. In natural philosophy, he can be credited with several specific achievements: co-framer of the sine law of refraction, developer of an important empirical account of the rainbow, and proposer of a naturalistic account of the formation of the earth and planets (a precursor to the nebular hypothesis). More importantly, he offered a new vision of the natural world that continues to shape our thought today: a world of matter possessing a few fundamental properties and interacting according to a few universal laws. This natural world included an immaterial mind that, in human beings, was directly related to the brain; in this way, Descartes formulated the modern version of the mind–body problem. In metaphysics, he provided arguments for the existence of God, to show that the essence of matter is extension, and that the essence of mind is thought. Descartes claimed early on to possess a special method, which was variously exhibited in mathematics, natural philosophy, and metaphysics, and which, in the latter part of his life, included, or was supplemented by, a method of doubt. Descartes presented his results in major works published during his lifetime: the Discourse on the Method (in French, 1637), with its essays, the Dioptrics, Meteorology, and Geometry; the Meditations on First Philosophy (i.e., on metaphysics), with its Objections and Replies (in Latin, 1641, 2nd edn. 1642); the Principles of Philosophy, covering his metaphysics and much of his natural philosophy (in Latin, 1644); and the Passions of the Soul, on the emotions (in French, 1649)."

"text": "\"Introduction | Life | Work René Descartes (Portrait by Frans Hals, 1649)Introduction René Descartes (1596 - 1650) was a French philosopher, mathematician, scientist and writer of the Age of Reason. He has been called the \"\"Father of Modern Philosophy\"\", and much of subsequent Western philosophy can be seen as a response to his writings. He is responsible for one of the best-known quotations in philosophy: \"\"Cogito, ergo sum\"\" ( \"\"I think, therefore I am\"\" ). He was a pioneer and major figure in 17th Century Continental Rationalism (often known as Cartesianism) later advocated by Baruch Spinoza and Gottfried Leibniz, and opposed by the British Empiricist school of thought of Hobbes, Locke, Berkeley and Hume. He represents a major break with the Aristotelianism and Scholasticism of the Medieval period. His contribution to mathematics was also of the first order, as the inventor of the Cartesian coordinate system and the founder of analytic geometry, crucial to the invention of calculus and mathematical analysis. He was also one of the key figures in the scientific revolution of the 16th and 17th Centuries. Life Descartes (pronounced day-CART) was born in the town of La Haye en Touraine (since renamed Descartes) in the Loire Valley in central France on 31 March 1596. His father, Joachim Descartes, was a busy lawyer and magistrate in the High Court of Justice, and his mother, Jeanne (née Brochard), died of tuberculosis when René was just one year old. René and his brother and sister, Pierre and Jeanne, were therefore mainly raised by their grandmother."

"text": "Dualism First published Tue Aug 19, 2003; substantive revision Mon Feb 29, 2016This entry concerns dualism in the philosophy of mind. The term ‘dualism’ has a variety of uses in the history of thought. In general, the idea is that, for some particular domain, there are two fundamental kinds or categories of things or principles. In theology, for example a ‘dualist’ is someone who believes that Good and Evil—or God and the Devil—are independent and more or less equal forces in the world. Dualism contrasts with monism, which is the theory that there is only one fundamental kind, category of thing or principle; and, rather less commonly, with pluralism, which is the view that there are many kinds or categories. In the philosophy of mind, dualism is the theory that the mental and the physical—or mind and body or mind and brain—are, in some sense, radically different kinds of thing. Because common sense tells us that there are physical bodies, and because there is intellectual pressure towards producing a unified view of the world, one could say that materialist monism is the ‘default option’. Discussion about dualism, therefore, tends to start from the assumption of the reality of the physical world, and then to consider arguments for why the mind cannot be treated as simply part of that world.1.

A. in history and taught university and high school history. In this lesson, we explore the philosophical, religious, and cultural effects of the Scientific Revolution on Early Modern society - effects that forever changed the Western view of the universe and humanity's place within it. Effects of the Scientific Revolution Sometimes small events can have a big impact in unexpected places. For example, when the Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming began working on the chemistry of bread molds in the 1920s, he certainly did not set out to discover penicillin. Regardless, his 1928 discovery sparked the growth and use of antibiotics throughout the 20th century, likely saving millions of lives as a result. Similarly, the scientists and philosophers of the Scientific Revolution did not set out to change the world; individually, they worked on their own problems in their own fields. However, all challenged traditional views of the world and fostered a new way of thinking that relied on empiricism and skepticism rather than accepted, fundamental truths - a development which changed the world forever. Truths Challenged The increased emphasis placed on experimentation and empirical knowledge during the Scientific Revolution caused many philosophers and scientists to rethink the very nature of knowledge itself. Skepticism among these groups of thinkers grew over Early Modern society's view of the world and the accepted truths on which it was based. Rather than accepting knowledge based on revealed truths, those who espoused the principles of the Scientific Revolution believed that truth and fact lay through firsthand observation and experimentation."

This concept is especially important in Continental philosophy, where 'the Subject' is a central term in debates over human autonomy and the nature of the self.

Descartes believed that thought (subjectivity) was the essence of the mind, and that extension (the occupation of space) was the essence of matter.

"text": "Descartes' Theory of Ideas First published Wed Mar 14, 2007; substantive revision Wed Jun 14, 2017Ideas are among the most important items in Descartes’ philosophy. They serve to unify his ontology and epistemology. As he says in a letter to Guillaume Gibieuf (1583–1650), dated 19 January 1642, “I am certain that I can have no knowledge of what is outside me except by means of the ideas I have within me.” [ 1] Descartes never published anything that specifically worked out a theory of ideas. Even so, he said enough in published and unpublished work, as well as in correspondence, that allows for a basic reconstruction of a theory. This entry will focus principally on the theory of ideas and how it relates to Descartes’ ontology, though in Section 6 of this entry, which includes discussion of simple natures and Descartes’ concepts of clarity and distinctness, certain components of his epistemology are briefly considered.

Sometimes it can feel like your mind and body are completely separate from each other. Watch this lesson to find out about what the philosopher Descartes termed dualism, including its relationship to psychology and the types of dualism. Descartes You've probably heard the phrase, 'I think, therefore I am.' This is the fundamental philosophy of philosopher René Descartes, a 17th-century man who changed the way people thought about life. Descartes believed that being able to identify thoughts was the only way to truly know that you existed. After all, he said, your existence could be simply part of a dream or a thought of someone else. But as long as you were conscious and had thoughts, you knew that you were alive. You might be wondering what all this philosophy has to do with psychology. Well, Descartes' emphasis on thought processes, or what psychologists call cognition, influenced not only philosophy, but also the field of psychology."

The People of Enlightenment believed the almightiness of human knowledge and defied the tradition and the pre-established thoughts of the past. this is the period in which the humans became overconfident in the human Reason an rationality. Philosophers and Scientists committed the fallacy of argumentum ad ignorantiam. Anything which cannot be understood by rational knowledge and the current status of sciences was defied as meaningless or superstitious. Philosophy became very popular among the intellectuals and people read philosophical opera. However, the general concerns were about the practical use of our knowledge. In other words, The Two Fundamental Characteristics of the Philosophy of Enlightenment are: 1) faith in the European Reason and human rationality to reject the tradition and the pre-established institutions and thoughts; 2) Search for the practical, useful knowledge as the power to control nature. John Locke is considered generally as the founder of Enlightenment movement in philosophy. However, in England, both characteristics of Enlightenment, namely the defiance of the tradition and the search for the knowledge as the practical, useful power to control nature, were not so emphatically visible due to the nationality and the social conditions in England."

"text": "\"Fallibilism Fallibilism is the epistemological thesis that no belief (theory, view, thesis, and so on) can ever be rationally supported or justified in a conclusive way. Always, there remains a possible doubt as to the truth of the belief. Fallibilism applies that assessment even to science’s best-entrenched claims and to people’s best-loved commonsense views. Some epistemologists have taken fallibilism to imply skepticism, according to which none of those claims or views are ever well justified or knowledge. In fact, though, it is fallibilist epistemologists (which is to say, the majority of epistemologists) who tend not to be skeptics about the existence of knowledge or justified belief. Generally, those epistemologists see themselves as thinking about knowledge and justification in a comparatively realistic way — by recognizing the fallibilist realities of human cognitive capacities, even while accommodating those fallibilities within a theory that allows perpetually fallible people to have knowledge and justified beliefs. Still, although that is the aim of most epistemologists, the question arises of whether it is a coherent aim. Are they pursuing a coherent way of thinking about knowledge and justification? Much current philosophical debate is centered upon that question. Epistemologists generally seek to understand knowledge and justification in a way that permits fallibilism to be describing a benign truth about how we can gain knowledge and justified beliefs."

"text": "\"Filed Under >How Desegregation Changed Us: The Effects of Racially Mixed Schools on Students and Society Executive Summary As we approach the 50 th anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court ruling, Brown v. Board of Education, many in the United States are contemplating the value of public policies that flowed from that decision, especially the desegregation of public schools. Over the last half-century we have received mixed messages about whether such efforts were worth the trouble. From the popular press we have heard of more failures than successes - of lingering black-white test score gaps and white flight from urban school districts. Meanwhile, much of the social science research on school desegregation has been more optimistic, showing mixed test score results but a positive trend toward higher African American student achievement during the peak years of desegregation, as well as long-term academic and professional gains for African American adults who had attended racially mixed schools. Still, much of this research consists of statistical analyses of test scores or graduation rates. It tells us little about students' actual experience in desegregated schools or what it meant to them later in life. On a more personal level, there are books written by or about individuals who attended desegregated schools. Many of these stories, especially those from the 1950s, are inspiring. But none is conclusive in terms of the value of a public policy that affected so many lives. What has been missing is a study that connects personal perspectives about school desegregation across different towns and schools in a systematic way."

The earliest known African American student, Caroline Van Vronker, attended the school in 1843. The integration of all American schools was a major catalyst for the civil rights action and racial violence that occurred in the United States during the latter half of the 20th century. After the Civil War, the first legislation providing rights to African-Americans was passed. The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, also known as the Reconstruction Amendments, which were passed between 1865 and 1870, abolished slavery, guaranteed citizenship and protection under the law, and prohibited racial discrimination in voting, respectively. [ 2]Jim Crow south [ edit]Despite these Reconstruction amendments, blatant discrimination took place through what would come to be known as Jim Crow laws. As a result of these laws, African-Americans were required to sit on different park benches, use different drinking fountains, and ride in different railroad cars than their white counterparts, among other segregated aspects of life.

Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Eisenhower favored a patient, constitutionalist approach that would avoid a violent disruption of Southern society. However, by the mid-1950s he realized that he would have no control over the pace of integration, and he responded with actions and proposed legislative initiatives to provide racial equality. He was not successful in getting sweeping reforms passed by Congress, but he did build a sturdy foundation upon which more comprehensive changes were made in the years following his presidency. Consider the following: Eisenhower appointed California Governor Earl Warren as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Warren molded a unanimous decision in Brown v. Board of Education, striking down public school segregation. Eisenhower also appointed outstanding jurists such as Potter Stewart, William Brennan, John Marshall Harlan II, and Charles Evans Whittaker to the Warren court. Eisenhower was consistently careful to appoint to the southern districts federal judges who were solidly committed to equal rights, fighting southern senators to get them confirmed. When enforcement of future civil rights laws came before the district courts in the 1960s, they were upheld by progressive judges – Frank Johnson, Jr., and Elbert Parr Tuttle, for instance – appointed by Eisenhower years earlier."

"text": "\"Voting Rights History Two Centuries of Struggle Bruce Hartford Preface In part, this brief timeline describes an American history of oppression, persecution, and discrimination in regards to voting rights. In all of these cases those affected were not passive victims — rather they fought back with whatever means they had. Similarly, much of this short summary is presented in the form of legislative and legal milestones. But all of those laws and court cases were the direct result of popular struggles and mass political pressure. In no case did benevolent legislators enact civil rights laws or magnanimous judges rule against discrimination without being forced to do so by We the People . The stories of the freedom struggles and resistance to oppression that resulted in the milestones presented here would (and does) fill books. A single webpage cannot document the details of those battles, but it is crucial to remember that from every act of oppression grew a hundred forms of resistance. And every victorious milestone on the Freedom Road was achieved with blood, sweat, and tears. Introduction The two main issues addressed by the southern Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s were ending the \"\"Jim Crow\"\" system of segregation and winning the right to vote for Blacks (and Latinos, Native-Americans, Asians, and others) in the South and elsewhere. But the Freedom Movement of the 1960s did not spontaneously spring up out of nowhere, nor did it disappear when its work was \"\"done.\"\""

It began to fade from the public eye a decade later, following the formation of the original Black Panther Party in Lowndes County. During the intervening years, Alabama was the site of some of the most defining events of the civil rights era. These events transformed the state and profoundly changed America.

African Americans in Alabama began fighting for basic civil and human rights as soon as slavery ended in 1865, and they continue to fight for these rights today. Although they have adjusted their tactics to fit the times, their goals have changed very little. They have fought consistently for social autonomy, quality education, political power, and an acceptable standard of living. They have also fought to end racial terrorism and to enjoy the fruits of their own labor. On the continuum of black protest, however, the 1950s and 1960s were unique."

S. Government portal Law portal Wikipedia bookv t e The Equal Protection Clause is part of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The clause, which took effect in 1868, provides that no state shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction \"\"the equal protection of the laws\"\". A primary motivation for this clause was to validate the equality provisions contained in the Civil Rights Act of 1866, which guaranteed that all people would have rights equal to those of all citizens. As a whole, the Fourteenth Amendment marked a large shift in American constitutionalism, by applying substantially more constitutional restrictions against the states than had applied before the Civil War. The meaning of the Equal Protection Clause has been the subject of much debate, and inspired the well-known phrase \"\" Equal Justice Under Law \"\". This clause was the basis for Brown v. Board of Education (1954), the Supreme Court decision that helped to dismantle racial segregation, and also the basis for many other decisions rejecting discrimination against people belonging to various groups. While the Equal Protection Clause itself only applies to state and local governments, the Supreme Court held in Bolling v. Sharpe (1954) that the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment nonetheless imposes various equal protection requirements on the federal government.

( Wikimedia Commons/Walter Bosshard)History remembers Mohandas Gandhi’s Salt March as one of the great episodes of resistance in the past century and as a campaign which struck a decisive blow against British imperialism. In the early morning of March 12, 1930, Gandhi and a trained cadre of 78 followers from his ashram began a march of more than 200 miles to the sea. Three and a half weeks later, on April 5, surrounded by a crowd of thousands, Gandhi waded into the edge of the ocean, approached an area on the mud flats where evaporating water left a thick layer of sediment, and scooped up a handful of salt. Gandhi’s act defied a law of the British Raj mandating that Indians buy salt from the government and prohibiting them from collecting their own. His disobedience set off a mass campaign of non-compliance that swept the country, leading to as many as 100,000 arrests. In a famous quote published in the Manchester Guardian, revered poet Rabindranath Tagore described the campaign’s transformative impact: “Those who live in England, far away from the East, have now got to realize that Europe has completely lost her former prestige in Asia.” For the absentee rulers in London, it was “a great moral defeat. ”And yet, judging by what Gandhi gained at the bargaining table at the conclusion of the campaign, one can form a very different view of the salt satyagraha."

"text": "SEPARATE BUT EQUALIn 1896, the Supreme Court ruled in Plessy v. Ferguson that racially segregated public facilities were legal, so long as the facilities for blacks and whites were equal. The ruling constitutionally sanctioned laws barring African Americans from sharing the same buses, schools and other public facilities as whites—known as “Jim Crow” laws—and established the “separate but equal” doctrine that would stand for the next six decades. But by the early 1950s, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People ( NAACP) was working hard to challenge segregation laws in public schools, and had filed lawsuits on behalf of plaintiffs in states such as South Carolina, Virginia and Delaware. In the case that would become most famous, a plaintiff named Oliver Brown filed a class-action suit against the Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, in 1951, after his daughter was denied entrance to Topeka’s all-white elementary schools. In his lawsuit, Brown claimed that schools for black children were not equal to the white schools, and that segregation violated the so-called “equal protection clause” of the 14th Amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. ”The case went before the U. S. District Court in Kansas, which agreed that public school segregation had a “detrimental effect upon the colored children” and contributed to “a sense of inferiority,” but still upheld the “separate but equal” doctrine. THE SUPREME COURT’S VERDICT IN BROWN V. BOARDWhen Brown’s case and four other cases related to school segregation first came before the Supreme Court in 1952, the Court combined them into a single case under the name Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka . Thurgood Marshall, the head of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, served as chief attorney for the plaintiffs. ( Thirteen years later, President Lyndon B. Johnson would appoint Marshall as the first black Supreme Court justice. ) At first, the justices were divided on how to rule on school segregation, with Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson holding the opinion that the Plessy verdict should stand."

His mother was a circus performer and his father, who was born in South Africa, was a commercial pilot. The family lived in different countries throughout Bale's childhood, including England, Portugal, and the United States. Bale acknowledges the constant change was one of the influences on his career choice. His first acting job was a cereal commercial in 1983; amazingly, the next year, he debuted on the West End stage in \"\"The Nerd\"\". A role in the 1986 NBC mini-series Anastasia: The Mystery of Anna (1986) caught Steven Spielberg 's eye, leading to Bale's well-documented role in Empire of the Sun (1987). For the range of emotions he displayed as the star of the war epic, he earned a special award by the National Board of Review for Best Performance by a Juvenile Actor. Adjusting to fame and his difficulties with attention (he thought about quitting acting early on), Bale appeared in Kenneth Branagh 's 1989 adaptation of Shakespeare's Henry V (1989) and starred as Jim Hawkins in a TV movie version of Treasure Island (1990). Bale worked consistently through the 1990s, acting and singing in Newsies (1992), Swing Kids (1993), Little Women (1994), The Portrait of a Lady (1996), The Secret Agent (1996), Metroland (1997), Velvet Goldmine (1998), All the Little Animals (1998), and A Midsummer Night's Dream (1999). Toward the end of the decade, with the rise of the Internet, Bale found himself becoming one of the most popular online celebrities around, though he, with a couple notable exceptions, maintained a private, tabloid-free mystique."

"text": "It had been an unusually quiet Christmas at Karisoke, American primatologist Dian Fossey’s primitive research camp 9,000 feet up the misty, tangled slopes of Rwanda’s Mount Visoke. For 18 years the isolated camp had been home to the eccentric, obsessively dedicated woman who, at 53, had spent her prime and her health on a study of the rare mountain gorilla in its dwindling rain forest habitat. Of late she had been leading an increasingly hermitlike existence, but at Christmas she would open her home to dozens of camp workers and acquaintances for a huge feast of roasted meats and vats of urwagwa, the local banana beer. This year, anticipating the arrival of a delegation of conservationists, she had postponed the celebration until New Year’s Eve. Instead she had decorated the door of her two-room corrugated tin hut with a wreath and a sign saying “Howdy,” and she put on a lamb dinner for Wayne Mc Guire, 34, an American graduate student also studying the gorillas, and Joseph Munyaneza, a Rwandan zoology student. The next day Mc Guire went out to check on some of the 70 gorillas monitored by the center. Returning at dusk, he reported to Fossey that they were all right, then turned in. Just before 6 on the morning of Dec. 27, the sound of guards and trackers screaming in Swahili wakened the camp. Pulled from bed by Fossey’s frantic house servant, Mc Guire ran along the 100-yard path to Fossey’s cabin at the far edge of camp. Inside her ransacked quarters, he found the primatologist lying face up by the two beds she needed to support her six-foot frame."

Fossey is one of the most famous scientists in the world, but her path to greatness was a meandering one. While she had always been interested in animals, her bachelor’s degree was in occupational therapy. One year, after hearing stories and seeing pictures from a friend’s vacation in Africa, Fossey decided that she would visit there herself. In 1963, she gathered all of her savings and took out a three-year loan. She set a course for Africa, planning stops in Kenya, Tanzania, Congo, and Zimbabwe. She didn’t know it yet, but this trip would change her life forever. At Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania, one of the final stops on her journey, Fossey met archaeologist Louis Leakey. During the visit, Dr. Leakey told Fossey of Jane Goodall’s research with chimps, which at that point had just barely begun. They also discussed the importance of long-term research on the great apes."

While it is true that they are large, powerful creatures, they are also gentle and affectionate. Mountain gorillas are easygoing vegetarians who lead a peaceful, playful life. Large males patiently allow young gorillas to climb all over them without a murmur of protest, and they are not aggressive toward humans unless they are threatened. As primates, humans and gorillas share a common ancestor. Humans did not evolve from gorillas; rather, humans and gorillas simply took separate evolutionary paths about 10 million years ago. We seem to have a special affinity for these animals despite our differences. As George Schaller, one of the world’s leading gorilla researchers, has written: No one who looks into a gorilla’s eyes — intelligent, gentle, vulnerable — can remain unchanged, for the gap between ape and human vanishes; we know that the gorilla still lives within us. Do gorillas also recognize this ancient connection? ( George B. Schaller, “Gentle Gorillas, Turbulent Times,” National Geographic, Vol."

Murray Introduction and About Author Linda Hogan Editor’s Note: This interview was originally published in The Bloomsbury Review, and is reprinted with permission. I first met Linda Hogan ten years ago, when we were guest writers at the Oklahoma Arts Institute. Although there were several other writers in attendance—Robert Creeley, Phil Lopate, Amy Hempel—I was particularly struck by the presence of Linda Hogan. She was a calm, gentle soul, quiet around the edges and given to silent observation. When she spoke, her voice was clear and steady and her words were spare and carefully chosen. She avoided the big noisy groups, with all their false sincerity and forced laughter, and reminded me of a deer, uncomfortable to be out in the open and away from familiar paths. In this I sensed a kindred spirit. The few times I glimpsed her center I saw that it was a peaceful, sunny place, like a clearing in the forest, elusive, hard to find, but full of light and warmth. There was in this initial meeting an impression of strength, of a person who draws truth and power from that most ancient source, humility. Linda Hogan in 1998."

Best Times to Track Gorillas, Obtaining Permits, Planning Mountain Gorilla safaris, Official rules and Personal fitness qualifications for tracking Mountain Gorillas. Tracking, admiring and photographing Mountain Gorillas is one of the world's greatest natural history travel experiences. Mountain Gorilla safaris can be expensive, exhausting and even exasperating , but also incomparably inspiring and emotional and always uniquely memorable. If you are able to obtain a permit, you have a better than 95% chance of seeing a group of Mountain Gorillas in the wild, provided you are fit enough to do the necessary gorilla tracking. Mountain gorillas range through thick forests on steep hillsides. Mountain Gorilla trackers employed to guard the animals always know generally where they can be found. Reaching them sometimes requires long hours of hiking in steep terrain, but sometimes Mountain Gorilla trackers and tourists reach their target group in just a few minutes of walking. Our guides consider the interests, ages and abilities of our clients, and then do their best to get our clients assigned to habituated gorilla groups which are most rewarding, easiest to reach, and offer the best tracking experience.

"text": "\"By Melissa Hogenboom26 December 2015It is now 30 years to the day since the mysterious death of Dian Fossey, the primatologist who transformed the way we see gorillas. Before Fossey's work, gorillas had an appalling reputation as violent brutes that would kill a human on sight. Fossey demolished this myth. Living alongside a group of mountain gorillas in the forests of Rwanda, she showed that these huge apes are actually gentle giants, with individual personalities and rich social lives. In many ways they are like us. But the mountain gorillas were also in terminal decline, their habitats encroached on by farms and overrun by war and civil unrest. Fossey spent her last years fighting an increasingly savage battle to save them, until she finally lost her life in 1985. The 1988 film Gorillas in the Mist presented a fictionalised version of Fossey's story. We have attempted to tell it as it really happened by speaking in depth to three of Fossey's colleagues and friends, one of whom, Ian Redmond, provided nearly all the photos featured. Dian Fossey did not set out to become a primatologist."

It is particularly concerned with her spiritual development, and her message of hope that, working together, humans can overcome our differences and make the world safe and habitable for ourselves and the creatures our choices impact. It follows her from her birth and upbringing in a staunchly matriarchal home in England, her independent decision to travel to Africa, where she meets paleontologist Dr. Louis Leakey. He assigns her, along with Dian Fossey (Gorillas in the Mist) and Birkut Galdikas to study the Great Apes, humankind's closest living relatives."

"text": "\"Brazil's Dilma Rousseff fights for her political survival13 April 2016Share APThose close to her say President Rousseff is a fighter who does not give up easily Dilma Rousseff, the first woman to be elected president of Brazil, has had her share of career ups and downs. In March 2013, just over halfway into her first term in office, she was on a career high. She was enjoying approval ratings of almost 80%. Brazilians said they rated her highly for her efforts to combat poverty and hunger. While the growth of the country's economy had already begun to slow down, unemployment was still low and incomes had not yet suffered. Popularity plummets It was the first time that a majority of the Brazilians consulted in a poll by the National Industry Confederation said that Ms Rousseff was doing a better job than her popular predecessor in office, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Getty Images Ms Rousseff's social programmes were popular with many Brazilians Her policies of lowering taxes on food, expanding social welfare benefits and cutting the cost of electricity were especially popular with the poor, the backbone of her Workers' Party. Three years on, the picture is looking very different. Ms Rousseff's approval rating are down to about 10% and she is battling to stay in office as impeachment proceedings against her are making their way through Congress. But despite her main coalition partner, the PMDB party, turning its back on her and former allies saying they will vote for her impeachment, she has said she will not be driven out of office."

"text": "\"Reuters Two former presidents - close allies Dilma Rousseff and Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva - have found themselves under investigation since 2014Since 2014 Brazil has been gripped by a scandal that started with a state-owned oil company and grew to encapsulate people at the very top of business - and even presidents. On the face of it, it is a straightforward corruption scandal - albeit one involving millions of dollars in kickbacks and more than 80 politicians and members of the business elite. But as the tentacles of the investigation dubbed Operation Car Wash fanned out, other scandals emerged. It has led to some of those who have found themselves accused claiming they are the victims of political plots, designed to bar them from office. But what is this scandal all about? And who is it said to involve? What is Operation Car Wash? Operation Car Wash began in March 2014 as an investigation into allegations that executives at the state oil company Petrobras had accepted bribes from construction firms in return for awarding them contracts at inflated prices. Reuters Lula: Found guilty of corruption in July 2017Which is bad enough - but then the Workers' Party found itself dragged into the corruption scandal amid allegations of having funnelled some of these funds to pay off politicians and buy their votes and help with political campaigns. Among those accused in the scandal were dozens of politicians, and Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva - the country's extremely popular former president, known affectionately as \"\"Lula\"\"."

P. | SÃO PAULO“IF I talk, there won’t be an election,” Paulo Roberto Costa, a former executive at Petrobras, was supposed to have warned. Now Mr Costa (pictured), arrested in March in a money-laundering probe involving Brazil’s state-controlled oil giant, has started talking. Polling day in Brazil, now less than a month away, will not be cancelled. But if what he says is true, it could affect the outcome. According to revelations published in Veja, a leading weekly, and Estado de São Paulo, a newspaper, Mr Costa, who ran Petrobras’s refining division from 2004 to 2012, has accused more than 40 politicians of involvement in a vast kickback scheme. The list reportedly includes a minister, three state governors, six senators and dozens of congressmen from President Dilma Rousseff’s Workers’ Party (PT) and several coalition allies. The beneficiaries are alleged to have pocketed 3% of the value of contracts signed with Petrobras in return for supporting the government in congressional votes.

"text": "How Brazil Has Dramatically Reduced Tropical Deforestation By Doug Boucher, originally published by Solutions Journal July 3, 2014Photo credit: Rhett Butler, Mongabay.com. The 2009 beef moratorium created a supply chain through which ranchers were pressured to end deforestation. In Brief Over the past nine years, the rate of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon has dropped by 70 percent. This success has been achieved despite high beef and soy prices, which in previous years had pushed deforestation upward, and during a time that Brazil had rapid economic growth and made important progress in reducing poverty, hunger, and inequality. Brazil’s reduction in emissions from deforestation is the largest contribution so far by any country—rich or poor—to reducing global warming pollution. The factors responsible for this accomplishment include government policies and enforcement actions by prosecutors, on both the federal and state levels; incentives created by Norway’s pledge of up to $1 billion in results-based compensation; the concerted pressure exerted by non-government organizations (NGOs) on the government and the soy and beef industries; and the positive response by those industries, resulting in the 2006 soy and 2009 beef moratoria. Political leaders, such as President Luis Inácio Lula da Silva, Minister of the Environment/2010 Green Party presidential candidate Marina Silva, the independent public prosecutors, and several state governors can also claim an important share of the credit. Ultimately, however, it was the change in the political dynamic of the deforestation issue due to years of effort by Brazilian civil society that made these actions and this success possible. Key Concepts Deforestation appeared to be an intractable problem for many years, with little progress in reducing it, despite many government and NGO projects and widespread global concern. Brazil’s success has now shown that a large, rapid reduction in deforestation is possible."

"text": "Compulsory Voting Empowers All Braziliansby Angelico Law on October 21, 2014US citizens frequently complain that their “democratically” elected government officials are not representing their needs. Perhaps that is because nearly half of US citizens who are eligible to vote don’t actually vote. Consider the alternative – Brazil – where voting is compulsory. Brazil is one of the few countries that not only requires everyone between the ages of 18 and 70 to vote, but also strictly enforces this policy. Here are a few points to keep in mind about compulsory voting in Brazil: Brazilian citizens between the ages of 18 and 70 are required to vote, unless they are illiterate;Voting is optional for Brazilian citizens between the ages of 16 and 18;Voting is also optional for Brazilian citizens over the age of 70;Drafted military members, or military conscripts, are not allowed to vote;Brazilian citizens travelling abroad are required to participate in the elections by mail-in ballot;A “justification form” must be completed for anyone who is unable to vote. The consequences for not voting can affect more than just the pocketbook. The first level of enforcement is a fine for which citizens are given two months to pay. Failure to pay the fine within the timeframe may lead to difficulty obtaining or renewing a passport or ID card, securing a federally subsidized loan, receiving payment from a public sector job, or completing other registrations or obtaining other licenses. How has this all affected this year’s elections in Brazil? The results of the October 5 general election have sent incumbent Dilma Rousseff to a runoff with challenger Aécio Neves on October 26."

REUTERS/Ricardo Moraes More By Rodrigo Viga Gaier RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - The Brazilian Armed Forces occupied a massive compound of slums north of Rio de Janeiro early on Saturday without firing a shot, securing a focal point of violent crime two months ahead of the soccer World Cup. Wresting control of the area from drug gangs was a priority for authorities because it surrounds the expressway to the Galeão International Airport where tens of thousands of fans will land in June for the World Cup. Rio de Janeiro state authorities requested the occupation after a spree of attacks against police in the area. About 2,050 army troops and 450 marines in armored cars and helicopters took over the so-called Complexo da Maré, reinforcing police presence where 130,000 people live in 15 shantytowns, Major Alberto Horita said. The troops plan to remain there until July 31, a little more than two weeks after the end of the World Cup. \"\" We are monitoring the area closely and patrolling will be constant,\"\" Horita told reporters. The move follows a wave of attacks on police posts in slums that had previously been occupied under Rio's \"\"pacification\"\" program launched in 2008 to expel drug gangs to make the city safer ahead of the World Cup and the 2016 Olympic games. Prior to that effort, police presence was almost nonexistent, since drug gangs and other criminal groups had tight control of the complex. The backlash heightened concerns about security and law and order during the global sports events Brazil's political leaders hope will showcase the emergence of a modern and prosperous nation."

In 2015, it produced $3.166 trillion in goods and services, as measured by purchasing power parity . However, its growth rate slowed from 7.5% in 2010 to -3.0% in 2015. Brazil also has stagflation, with inflation running at 10.6%. What happened? When Dilma Rousseff became President in 2011, she increased public spending, raised the minimum wage, and forced the state-run banks to lend more. At the same time, the central bank lowered the discount rate from 11.5% to 7.25%. This triggered inflation, which Rousseff aggravated by cutting sales taxes and lowering prices on food, gasoline and bus fares. Price controls hurt the profits of the state-owned oil company, Petrobras, and unfairly competed against Brazil's formerly successful ethanol production. Business leaders curtailed investment in the face of such government intervention."

After years of gains against destruction of the Amazon rainforest, Brazil appears to be suffering from an increase in deforestation as farmers, loggers, miners and builders move into previously untouched woodland, according to data compiled by the government and independent researchers. Nelson Feitosa/IBAMA/Reuters Share World Brazil rainforest In a world hungry for environmental success stories, Brazil has been the closest thing we have to a golden child. The nation, Latin America’s largest economy, has been growing at an impressive clip, weathering the global financial crisis while cutting deforestation rates in the Amazon to historic lows. Citing its success in protecting the earth’s largest rain forest, President Dilma Rousseff boasted that Brazil is “one of the most advanced countries” for sustainable development, on World Environment Day last June. But it is too soon to declare victory in the Amazon. Corruption, lawlessness and massive land fraud are now threatening those gains, and an aggressive new development push in the region may soon open remote areas of the forest to being cut. Between 2005 and 2010, Brazil’s greenhouse gas emissions plunged by 39 percent, declining faster than in any other country. Brazil accomplished this by slashing its deforestation rate by more than three-quarters, mostly in the Amazon basin. ( Burning forests to clear them is the second biggest source of greenhouse gases after the combustion of fossil fuels, accounting for 30 percent of the carbon dioxide produced by human activities, according to one U. N. study. )"

Photo by EPA/BGNESDilma Vana Rousseff, a Brazilian politician of Bulgarian origin, has been inaugurated as the new President of Brazil, overshadowing Hillary Clinton and Angela Merkel for the title of most powerful woman in the world. Rousseff's father, Petar Rusev, also known as Pedro Rousseff, was a Bulgarian leftist who emigrated to France in 1929, and from there to Latin America in 1944. How is Dilma's rise to prominence going to affect both Bulgaria and Brazil? Running on a ' Lula Ticket'On October 31, 2010, the 62-year-old Rousseff of the Workers' Party defeated Social-Democratic Party candidate Jose Serra in the second round of Brazil 's Presidential Elections. Rousseff grabbed hold of the Brazilian Presidency with 55.4% of the votes in the runoff vs. 44.6% for Serra (after winning 46.6% vs. 33% in the first round). Dilma has thus become the first woman to be President of Brazil, the fifth largest country and the eighth largest economy in the world. She won the presidential elections primarily thanks to the votes of the poorer and middle classes, and the overwhelmingly strong promotion by outgoing President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Rousseff, who had never held an elected office before, has herself acknowledged this fact. The two Lula Cabinets, in which she took part, lifted 21 million people out of poverty and created 15 million jobs since 2003. \"\""

He was the eighth and youngest son of Lebanese immigrants who had arrived in Brazil in 1925. Temer studied law at the University of São Paulo and the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo, earning a doctorate from the latter institution, where he later served as a constitutional law professor. In 1964 Temer joined the staff of the Department of Education of São Paulo state, and in 1970 he became state prosecutor. In 1983 he was named the state’s attorney general. The following year he became São Paulo’s secretary of public safety. Having joined the centre-right Brazilian Democratic Movement Party (Partido do Movimento Democrático Brasileiro; PMDB), in 1986 Temer became a member of the National Constituent Assembly that drafted a new constitution for the country in 1987. He was elected in 1987 to the first of six terms in the federal Chamber of Deputies and served as its speaker three times (1997–99, 1999–2001, 2009–10). During his tenure in the Chamber of Deputies, he took a leave of absence to once again oversee the São Paulo Department of Public Safety.

But by accusing nearly the entire political class, the investigation may well become weaker as well as more sweeping. Five members of the cabinet, two former presidents – Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff – the current and former heads of both houses of Congress and at least two former opposition leaders – Aécio Neves and José Serra – are among the 83 politicians whose accusations were referred on Tuesday to the supreme court, according to local media.

The testimonies, which are still supposed to be under judicial seal, are said to reveal how public contracts for dams, bridges, roads and power plants were hugely inflated so that kickbacks could be paid to senior figures in local and central governments. Janot sent 83 cases to the top court and 211 to lower courts. This is a higher number of indictments than were made in relation to the oil company Petrobras during earlier stages of the three-year investigation."

"text": "Mendeleev's periodic table Another table in order of relative atomic mass Dmitri Mendeleev (1834 - 1907)In 1869, just five years after John Newlands put forward his law of octaves, a Russian chemist called Dmitri Mendeleev published a periodic table. Mendeleev also arranged the elements known at the time in order of relative atomic mass, but he did some other things that made his table much more successful. He realised that the physical and chemical properties of elements were related to their atomic mass in a 'periodic' way, and arranged them so that groups of elements with similar properties fell into vertical columns in his table.

Ti V Cr Mn Fe, Co, Ni, Cu Gaps and predictions Sometimes this method of arranging elements meant there were gaps in his horizontal rows or 'periods'. But instead of seeing this as a problem, Mendeleev thought it simply meant that the elements which belonged in the gaps had not yet been discovered. He was also able to work out the atomic mass of the missing elements, and so predict their properties. And when they were discovered, Mendeleev turned out to be right. For example, he predicted the properties of an undiscovered element that should fit below aluminium in his table. When this element, called gallium, was discovered in 1875, its properties were found to be close to Mendeleev's predictions."

The layout of the periodic table demonstrates recurring (\"\"periodic\"\") chemical properties. Elements are listed in order of increasing atomic number (i.e. the number of protons in the atomic nucleus). Rows are arranged so that elements with similar properties fall into the same vertical columns (\"\"groups\"\"). According to quantum mechanical theories of electron configuration within atoms, each horizontal row (\"\"period\"\") in the table corresponded to the filling of a quantum shell of electrons. There are progressively longer periods further down the table, grouping the elements into s-, p-, d- and f-blocks to reflect their electron configuration. In printed tables, each element is usually listed with its element symbol and atomic number; many versions of the table also list the element's atomic mass and other information, such as its abbreviated electron configuration, electronegativity and most common valence numbers.

The establishment of a law, moreover, does not take place when the first thought of it takes form, or even when its significance is recognised, but only when it has been confirmed by the results of the experiment.-Dmitri Mendeleev [Link]So we all know that Mendeleev had come up with the Periodic Table of Elements in 1869, while he was publishing his textbook, Principles of Chemistry, right? But just how did he actually do it? Well, it all started with a game of cards... A Simple Game of Cards In an effort to make sense of the properties of each of the elements that were known at the time, and the relationships that they had with one another, Mendeleev created a card game, which many of his friends referred to as 'Patience'. He wrote all of the properties of each of the known elements onto separate pieces of card, and spent most of his time organising and re-organising these pieces of cards to find patterns or similarities in the properties of the elements. These continuous games of 'Patience' was what had helped him construct one of the earliest versions of the periodic table (above right). Mendeleev also created the Periodic Law in 1869, along with the Periodic Table. The original Periodic Law states that:1. The elements, if arranged according to their atomic weights show an evident periodicity of properties.2. Elements which are similar as regards to their chemical properties have atomic weights which are either nearly the same value or which increase regularly.3."

Dmitri Mendeleev in 1897, public domain Organizing Matter In the mid-1700s, chemists began actively identifying elements, which are substances made up of just one kind of atom. But a century later, they still used a variety of symbols and acronyms to represent the different materials — there just wasn’t a common lexicon. In 1869, the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev came to prominence with his tabular diagram of known elements. This basic ingredient list, of which all matter exists, became known as the periodic table. Here’s what’s especially amazing: Mendeleev’s chart allotted spaces for elements that were yet to be discovered. For some of these missing pieces, he predicted what their atomic masses and other chemical properties would be. When scientists later discovered the elements Mendeleev expected, the world got a glimpse of the brilliance behind the periodic table.

Dmitri’s father became blind in the year of Dmitri’s birth and died in 1847. To support the family, his mother turned to operating a small glass factory owned by her family in a nearby town. The factory burned down in December 1848, and Dmitri’s mother took him to St. Petersburg, where he enrolled in the Main Pedagogical Institute. His mother died soon after, and Mendeleev graduated in 1855."

After his father went blind and could no longer support the family, Mendeleev’s mother started a glass factory to help make ends meet. But just as Mendeleev was finishing high school, his father died and the glass factory burned down. With most of her other children now out on their own, his mother took her son to St. Petersburg, working tirelessly and successfully to get him into college. In the late 1860's, Mendeleev began working on his great achievement: the periodic table of the elements. By arranging all of the 63 elements then known by their atomic weights, he managed to organize them into groups possessing similar properties. Where a gap existed in the table, he predicted a new element would one day be found and deduced its properties. And he was right. Three of those elements were found during his lifetime: gallium, scandium, and germanium. Indestructibility of Matter Mendeleev's Opinion on Global warming Mendeleev eight periodic principles Mendeleev on the law of periodicity Primary Object of Chemistry Principles of Chemistry by Dmitrii Mendeleev Rusting of Metals The discovery of these elements provided the strongest support for his periodic table, a cornerstone both in chemistry and in our understanding of how the universe is put together ( reference )."

The Dursley family are Harry Potter's last living relatives. To ensure Harry's safety, Albus Dumbledore placed him in the Dursleys' care when he was a baby. The Dursleys live at Number 4, Privet Drive, Little Whinging in Surrey, England. They are all Muggles, and despise all things related to magic – and anything out of the ordinary in general – and the Wizarding World, especially the Potters. Vernon Dursley [ edit]Vernon Dursley is Harry's uncle, Petunia's husband (and therefore Lily Potter 's brother-in-law), Dudley's father and Marge's brother. Vernon is described as a big, beefy man, the literal human embodiment of a walrus, with hardly any neck, and a large moustache.

NEXT VIDEONassar receives maximum prison sentence U. S. District Court Judge Janet T. Neff sentenced former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar to 60 years in prison, the maximum amount allowed, on Thursday for three counts involving child pornography and destruction of evidence. As I wrote in July, the charges Nassar pleaded guilty to were just a fraction of the criminal and civil cases pending against him for sexual misconduct against girls and young women under his care. Because of that, closure isn't complete, and the results of the lawsuit against Nassar, gymnastics' governing bodies and Michigan State University could have long-lasting impact on the sport.

Last month, he pleaded guilty to 10 counts of criminal sexual conduct in Michigan. The cases involved the police reports of more than 125 women, and Nassar's guilty plea and specific admission that the acts he committed were not part of a legitimate medical procedure mean that his sentences in those cases are likely to be harsh. But no matter the size of the state sentence, because of the length and supremacy of Nassar's federal sentence, it's highly unlikely that he'll live to serve any of the state sentence. He will be on record as a Michigan state sex offender, though."

Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman says that she was sexually abused by her team’s disgraced former doctor, Larry Nassar. In an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” set to air on Sunday, Raisman says she’s “angry” that USA Gymnastics didn’t address sooner the rampant allegations against Nassar. More than 100 women and girls, including Raisman’s teammate Mc Kayla Maroney , have accused the former USA Gymnastics doctor of sexual abuse spanning decades. “Why are we looking at why didn’t the girls speak up?” Raisman said of people who have asked why the athletes didn’t speak out earlier. “ Why not look at what about the culture? What did USA Gymnastics do, and Larry Nassar do, to manipulate these girls so much that they are so afraid to speak up?”Raisman has spoken out about Nassar before, but has never accused him of abusing her. In August, she told The Guardian that “what people don’t realize is that this doctor was a doctor for 29 years. ”“Whether or not he did it to a gymnast, they still knew him. Even if he didn’t do it to you, it’s still the trauma and the anxiety of wondering what could have happened."

Jeff Kowalsky/Getty Images On Wednesday, Judge Rosemarie Aquilina sentenced Larry Nassar to between 40 to 175 years in a Michigan prison. Nassar, a former doctor to Olympic gymnasts, pleaded guilty to sexually abusing seven girls and has been accused of molesting many more, with victims as young as 6. He already pleaded guilty to child pornography charges in federal court. Nassar will die behind bars, and he deserves to. Aquilina has received widespread and well-earned praise throughout the hearings, supporting Nassar’s more than 150 victims as they read their extraordinary victim impact statements. But Aquilina drew some criticism on Wednesday for her own remarks at Nassar’s sentencing. Huff Post’s Melissa Jeltsen questioned the judge’s decision to tell Nassar, “I just signed your death warrant.” Jeltsen and others also expressed alarm at a troubling aside implying Nassar deserved to be raped in prison. “ Even criminals do not deserve to be sexually assaulted,” Jeltsen wrote. “"

Some steeled their courage and planned to give statements about how the abuse by the former USA Gymnastics doctor affected them. Others, inspired by these first women’s words, reached out to the judge and said they, too, wanted to be heard during the several days allotted for victims’ testimony at Nassar’s sentencing hearing. All told, 156 women provided heartbreaking, emotional statements over seven days. They had one purpose — to convince Michigan Judge Rosemarie Aquilina that Nassar, who worked with USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University, deserved the harshest sentence possible for the criminal sexual conduct charges to which he pleaded guilty last November. And they succeeded. On Wednesday, Aquilina sentenced Nassar to a minimum of 40 years and maximum of 175 years in prison for sexually abusing athletes and neighbors. Nassar was already sentenced in December to 60 years in federal prison on child pornography charges, and faces an additional sentencing hearing on more criminal sexual conduct charges in another Michigan county on Jan. 31. In addressing Nassar, Aquilina said: “I wouldn’t send my dogs to you, sir. ”Before issuing the sentence, Aquilina read parts of a letter Nassar had sent to her two months after he pleaded guilty, defending his actions, The judge made it clear in her intonations that she was not swayed by his arguments."

Nasser, a sports doctor accused of molesting girls while working for USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University pleaded, guilty to multiple charges of sexual assault and will face at least 25 years in prison. ( AP Photo/Paul Sancya)By Scott M. Reid |PUBLISHED: December 7, 2017 at 9:52 am | UPDATED: December 7, 2017 at 9:14 pm Former U. S. Olympic and USA Gymnastics women’s national team physician Larry Nassar will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars after a U. S. District Court judge in Michigan sentenced him to 60 years in federal prison on child pornography charges Thursday. On what a federal prosecutor called “a day of reckoning” for Nassar, Olympic champion gymnast Mc Kayla Maroney and former U. S. national team member Jeanette Antolin and other alleged victims looked on as Judge Janet Neff sentenced Nassar, a longtime Michigan State team physician, to three consecutive 20 sentences saying “He has demonstrated that he should never again have access to children. ”“It’s imperative Mr. Nassar be deterred as long as possible,” Neff told a packed courtroom in Grand Rapids, Michigan. “ Mr. Nassar was, is and, in my view, will continue to be a danger to children. ”While Nassar’s alleged victims applauded Neff’s ruling, they also charged the U. S. Olympic Committee, USA Gymnastics and Michigan State with failing to take responsibility for what the victims and their supporters characterized as the organizations’ role in creating an environment that enabled Nassar’s abuse and ignored repeated warning signs of that abuse. Even as USA Gymnastics released a statement after the sentencing Thursday stating it was “sorry that any athlete has been harmed during her or his gymnastics career,” USA Gymnastics attorneys were filing a motion with the same U. S. District court to dismiss a series of civil lawsuits by 93 former athletes. The motion to dismiss was based in part on USA Gymnastics’ insistence that it was not obligated to inform Michigan State of Nassar’s sexual abuse after USA Gymnastics officials learned of it in June 2015, according to documents obtained by the Southern California News Group. Nassar’s abuse did not become public until 14 months later."

Dr. Jon La Pook is the correspondent. Andy Court and Sarah Fitzpatrick, producers. Deborah Rubin, associate producer. The U. S. women's gymnastics team – for all its success over the past few decades – has become embroiled in a dark and disturbing scandal concerning sexual abuse. Last year, the Indianapolis Star investigated cases in which male coaches, members of the national governing organization USA Gymnastics, were accused of sexually abusing female gymnasts. That report prompted young women to come forward with accounts of abuse they had suffered within the U. S. gymnastics system for many years as young girls and competitive gymnasts. These new accusations concern not a coach, but a prominent doctor who'd been working with U. S. Olympic and national teams and other athletes for three decades. Former Team USA gymnasts, from left: Jamie Dantzscher, Jessica Howard and Jeanette Antolin CBS News More than 60 women have filed complaints so far, and some believe that number may reach into the hundreds. Now, for the first time, three former members of U.

Maroney, 21, was originally scheduled to deliver a victim-impact statement in a federal courtroom or Thursday, but instead she and other victims (and family members of victims) were instructed by a judge to give statements in the form of letters. Marony and her mom are seeking the maximum sentence for Nassar. “This experience has shattered Mc Kayla,” her mother, Erin, wrote in a letter to the court obtained by ESPN. “ She has transformed from a bubbly, positive, loving, world class athlete into a young adult who was deeply distressed, at time suicidal. At times, I was unsure whether I would open her bedroom door and find her dead. ”Erin and Mc Kayla Maroney Mc Kayla Maroney/Facebook Maroney initially revealed the alleged abuse in an October Twitter post, writing then that she was just 13 years old when the abuse began, adding that it lasted until she left the sport. “Because the national team training camps did not allow parents to be present, my mom and dad were unable to observe what Nassar was doing,” Maroney wrote. Bullit Marquez/AP/REX/Shutterstock She described an incident that allegedly occurred in 2011 when she competed in the world championships in Tokyo.

Nassar was charged Thursday in Michigan with 22 counts of criminal sexual conduct, five of which, according to prosecutors, relate to victims who were under 13 years old. The charges relate to Nassar’s time when he was a faculty member at Michigan State University, from 1997 to when the university says he was fired in 2016 after allegations surfaced. He has pleaded not guilty. “This guy is despicable, this guy is disgusting, and he’s a monster,” Bill Schuette, the attorney general of Michigan, told reporters at Nassar’s hearing. While he was on staff at Michigan State, Nassar was the chief medical coordinator of the USA Women’s gymnastics team for a period of 19 years, and now, many of the athletes he treated are coming forward with allegations, saying they were so young when he abused them that they didn't understand what he was doing.

"text": "‘We are at war with Japan’. Prime Minister John Curtin, Sydney Morning Herald, 1941In 1933 Colonel Vernon Sturdee, director of military operations and intelligence at Army Headquarters, warned that Japan would pose the major threat to Australian security. He predicted:‘the Japanese would act quickly, they would all be regulars, fully trained and equipped for the operations, and fanatics who like dying in battle, whilst our troops would consist mainly of civilians, hastily thrown together on mobilisation, with very little training, short of artillery and possibly of gun ammunition. ’Our most eminent military historian, Professor David Horner, wrote a damning indictment of our political leadership in his book ‘Crisis of Command’. According to Horner:‘It is now generally agreed that the Australian defence policy between the wars and until the fall of Singapore was, at the best, naively optimistic, and at the worst, some might say, close to treason. ’The Japanese military were well prepared for their mission. For generations their national psyche had been conditioned by the State religion, Shinto, which inculcated respect for the Emperor, the Head of the Japanese family, and respect for one’s ancestors. All Japanese authorities – religious, educational, entertainment and the media – ceaselessly indoctrinated the population with the divinity of the Emperor and the divine nature of Japan’s expansionist role. To die for the Emperor on the field of battle was the most noble of all sacrifices. Fanatical Kamikaze suicide pilots were an outcome of this extreme indoctrination."

"text": "\"What is Christian ministry? Subscribe to our Question of the Week: Question: \"\"What is Christian ministry?\"\" Answer: \"\"Ministry\"\" is from the Greek word diakoneo, meaning \"\"to serve\"\" or douleuo, meaning \"\"to serve as a slave.\"\" In the New Testament, ministry is seen as service to God and to other people in His name. Jesus provided the pattern for Christian ministry—He came, not to receive service, but to give it (see Matthew 20:28; Mark 10:45; John 13:1-17 ). The Christian should minister by meeting people's needs with love and humility on Christ's behalf (see Matthew 20:26; Mark 10:43; John 2:5, 9; Acts 6:3; Romans 1:1; Galatians 1:10; Colossians 4:12 ). Christians are to minister to others out of their devotion to Christ and their love for others, whether the other people are believers or unbelievers. Ministry to others should be impartial and unconditional, always seeking to help others as Jesus would. The ministry in our day has taken on more of a vocational meaning as we call pastors \"\"ministers\"\" to full-time service. Pastors do spend their lives in the ministry, they do minister to others, and they can rightly be designated as ministers, but pastors are not the only ones who are to be involved in ministry."

Born to then-Captain Arthur Mac Arthur, Jr. and his wife Mary, Douglas spent much of his early life moving around the American West as his father's postings changed. Learning to ride and shoot at an early age, Mac Arthur received his early education at the Force Public School in Washington, DC and later at the West Texas Military Academy. Eager to follow in his father into the military, Mac Arthur began seeking an appointment to West Point. After two attempts by his father and grandfather to secure a presidential appointment failed, he passed an appointment examine offered by Representative Theobald Otjen. West Point Entering West Point in 1899, Mac Arthur and Ulysses Grant III became the subjects of intense hazing as the sons of high-ranking officers and for the fact that their mothers were lodging at the nearby Crany's Hotel. Though called before a Congressional committee on hazing, Mac Arthur downplayed his own experiences rather than implicate other cadets. The hearing resulted in Congress banning hazing of any sort in 1901. An outstanding student, he held several leadership positions within the Corps of Cadets including First Captain in his final year at the academy."

They are your rallying point to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes forlorn.

( See Important Quotations Explained)Blore, Lombard, and Armstrong become argumentative. Blore suggests that Armstrong gave Mrs. Rogers an overdose of sleeping medication either by accident or on purpose. Lombard tells Blore not to be offensive, and Blore demands to know why Lombard carries a gun. Lombard explains that he was hired to do a job by Isaac Morris, who implied that he might find trouble of some sort on the island. The bell rings, announcing lunch. Everyone troops in for the midday meal except for Macarthur, whom Armstrong goes to fetch."

Hills District New South Wales Localities around Hills District: Greater Blue Mountains Area Central Coast Central Coast Greater Western Sydney Hills District Forest District Greater Western Sydney Greater Western Sydney North Shore Northern Suburbs Eastern Suburbs Hills District Parramatta Blacktown Penrith Berowra Greater Western Sydney Hawkesbury Inner West Northern Suburbs Canterbury Bankstown North Shore Northern Beaches Forest District South-western Sydney Sutherland Shire Botany Bay St George Macarthur Sydney CBD Bondi Beach Airport The Hills District (alternatively, the Hills Shire, the Hills, the Garden Shire or Sydney Hills, previously the Baulkham Hills Shire) is a general term for the north-western suburbs of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Its constituent suburbs are generally located within the local government area of The Hills Shire; some parts of the Hornsby Shire, Blacktown and Parramatta Cities are generally given the title. Actual suburbs and localities that are considered to be in the Hills District can be somewhat amorphous and variable. For example, the Hills District Historical Society restricts its definition to the Hills Shire local government area, yet its study area extends from Parramatta to the Hawkesbury. At its most generous, the term Hills District is applied to the area generally west of New Line, Old Northern, and Pennant Hills Roads, north of Kissing Point Roads, and James Ruse Drive, east of Sunnyholt , Old Windsor, and Windsor Roads, and extending as far north as the Hawkesbury River. It may include Seven Hills and Kings Langley, as these have historical connections with the district. Some surrounding suburbs, like Glenwood, have demographics similar to those of the Hills, and whose residents frequently visit the Hills, but are not necessarily considered part of the district. The region is so named for its characteristically comparatively hilly topography as the Cumberland Plain lifts up, joining the Hornsby Plateau; and the Hawkesbury Plain lifting up and joining the same Hornsby Plateau. Several of its suburbs also have 'Hills' in their names, such as Baulkham Hills, Beaumont Hills, and Winston Hills."

"text": "\"Douglas Mac Arthur Douglas Mac Arthur was born at the Little Rock Barracks in Arkansas, where he began his life of discipline with the United States Army. His parents were Civil War hero Lt. General Arthur Mac Arthur and Mary Pinkney Hardy Mac Arthur. Douglas would grow up to be a highly intelligent, heroic, egotistical and controversial five-star general. Early years As a child, Douglas traveled to remote sections of New Mexico with his parents and his elder brother, Arthur, as they were posted to various dusty military outposts. The environs of Fort Selden, New Mexico, provided for Douglas a life that included learning to ride and shoot before even learning to read and write. In 1883, when Douglas was three years old, his other brother, Malcolm, died. Douglas` older brother, Arthur, would later attend the U. S. Naval Academy. A naval captain, he was eventually killed in 1923. Young Douglas soon learned that a Mac Arthur must first become a scholar and gentleman."

"text": "\"Donald Trump holds a rally with supporters in Roanoke, Virginia, U. S. September 24, 2016. REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump once again on Monday invoked the name of a controversial US Army general during the presidential debate — a seemingly odd choice, considering the officer almost started another world war and was later fired for insubordination. Hillary Clinton \"\"tells you how to fight ISIS on her website,\"\" Trump said of the Democratic nominee. \"\" I don't think Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur would like that very much. \"\" Mac Arthur has quite a storied, yet controversial, military career. He served in World War I and World War II, and received the Medal of Honor for his defense of the Philippines in 1942. But his actions in Korea almost led to a third world war, and a very public spat between Mac Arthur and President Harry Truman resulted in his firing for insubordination. \"\" It was with the deepest personal regret that I found myself compelled to take this action,\"\" Truman said in 1951, telling the nation he would be relieving the general of his command. \"\" General Mac Arthur is one of our greatest military commanders. But the cause of world peace is more important than any individual. \"\""

The Town owns and operates the airport, which serves about two million commercial passengers a year, as well as general aviation. Long Island Mac Arthur Airport (LIMA) covers 1,311 acres (531 ha) and has four runways and two helipads. [ 1]Entrance sign to the airport Located between Montauk Point, which is 72 miles (116 km) to the east, and Manhattan, which is 60 [3] miles (97 km) to the west, Mac Arthur Airport serves the suburban Nassau and Suffolk counties as an alternative to the JFK and La Guardia airports – both in the borough of Queens in New York City. [ 4] Shuttle buses connect the airport to the Ronkonkoma Railroad Station. The FAA designated LIMA an Official Metro Airport in early 2011, [5] meaning it is now grouped with La Guardia, JFK and Newark in travel and informational searches for New York airports, providing better exposure to the traveling public. Mac Arthur Airport, which does not share the congested airspace of the city-centric airports, has an exceptional record of on-time performance. During 2009 83.6% of flights arrived on time and 85.6% of flights departed on time. [ 6]During 2007 the airport served more than 2.3 million commercial passengers. [ 7] In 2016 the airport had 124,154 aircraft operations, an average of 340 per day; 84% general aviation; 7% scheduled commercial; 6% air taxi and 2% military."

"text": "\"Race and Race Theory*Howard Winant Temple University ABSTRACTRace has always been a significant sociological theme, from the founding of the field and the formulation of the \"\"classical\"\" theoretical statements to the present. Since the 19th century, sociological perspectives on race have developed and changed, always reflecting shifts in large-scale political processes. In the \"\"classical\"\" period colonialism and biologistic racism held sway. As the 20th century dawned, sociology came to be dominated by US-based figures. Du Bois and the Chicago School presented the first notable challenges to the field's racist assumptions. In the aftermath of WWII, with the destruction of European colonialism, the rise of the civil rights movement, and the surge in migration on a world scale, the sociology of race became a central topic. The field moved towards a more critical, more egalitarian awareness of race, focused particulalrly on the overcoming of prejudice and discrimination. Although recognition of these problems increased and political reforms made some headway in combating them, racial injustice and inequality were not overcome. As the global and domestic politics of race entered a new period of crisis and uncertainty, so too has the field of sociology. To tackle the themes of race and racism once again in the new millennium, sociology must develop more effective racial theory. \"\""

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( March 2008) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)First edition (Publ. Boni and Liveright)Cane is a 1923 novel by noted Harlem Renaissance author Jean Toomer. The novel is structured as a series of vignettes revolving around the origins and experiences of African Americans in the United States. The vignettes alternate in structure between narrative prose, poetry, and play-like passages of dialogue. As a result, the novel has been classified as a composite novel or as a short story cycle. Though some characters and situations recur between vignettes, the vignettes are mostly freestanding, tied to the other vignettes thematically and contextually more than through specific plot details. The ambitious, nontraditional structure of the novel - and its later influence on future generations of writers - have helped Cane gain status as a classic of High Modernism. ["

"text": "\"African Americans and World War IChad Williams – Hamilton College World War I was a transformative moment in African-American history. What began as a seemingly distant European conflict soon became an event with revolutionary implications for the social, economic, and political future of black people. The war directly impacted all African Americans, male and female, northerner and southerner, soldier and civilian. Migration, military service, racial violence, and political protest combined to make the war years one of the most dynamic periods of the African-American experience. Black people contested the boundaries of American democracy, demanded their rights as American citizens, and asserted their very humanity in ways both subtle and dramatic. Recognizing the significance of World War I is essential to developing a full understanding of modern African-American history and the struggle for black freedom. When war erupted in Europe in August 1914, most Americans, African Americans included, saw no reason for the United States to become involved. This sentiment strengthened as war between the German-led Central Powers and the Allied nations of France, Great Britain, and Russia ground to a stalemate and the death toll increased dramatically. The black press sided with France, because of its purported commitment to racial equality, and chronicled the exploits of colonial African soldiers serving in the French army. Nevertheless, African Americans viewed the bloodshed and destruction occurring overseas as far removed from the immediacies of their everyday lives."

"text": "Toward a New Theory of Internal Colonialism1Posted on May 20, 2012 by sdonline In debating the question “Whence Black Studies?” the framework within which we define our history and ourselves is critically important. I originally engaged the intellectual battle over internal colonialism theory because the dominant sociological analyses of race have mostly de-emphasized or ignored historical dynamics except to frame them as “what’s past.” In recasting internal colonialism theory, I seek not only to attack the culture-of-poverty approach, but also to ask hard questions of some past nationalist interpretations of internal colonialism. With the demise of Europe’s system of direct colonialism, some HAVE rushed to proclaim the death of colonialism and the advent of postcolonialism. In that narrative, colonialism, like its despicable cousin trans-Atlantic slavery, is portrayed as only history. But postcolonial studies go in many directions. They may be anti-colonial or may ignore economic exploitation; they may be too radical or not radical enough; they may or may not speak for the subaltern (Loomba, 1-6). Writings on postcolonialism are awash with inconsistencies and confusions, with problems of definition, scope and validity. “ Postcoloniality is, for some, whatever you want to make of it that will allow individual compromises and opportunisms to flourish” (San Juan, 2)."

[ 2] He founded the Black Star Line, part of the Back-to-Africa movement, which promoted the return of the African Diaspora to their ancestral lands. Software Discounts Prior to the twentieth century, leaders such as Prince Hall, Martin Delany, Edward Wilmot Blyden, and Henry Highland Garnet advocated the involvement of the African diaspora in African affairs. Garvey was unique in advancing a Pan-African philosophy to inspire a global mass movement and economic empowerment focusing on Africa known as Garveyism. Promoted by the UNIA as a movement of African Redemption, Garveyism would eventually inspire others, ranging from the Nation of Islam to the Rastafari movement (which proclaims Garvey as a prophet). The intent of the movement was for those of African ancestry to \"\"redeem\"\" Africa and for the European colonial powers to leave it. His essential ideas about Africa were stated in an editorial in the Negro World titled \"\"African Fundamentalism\"\" where he wrote: \"\" Our union must know no clime, boundary, or nationality… let us hold together under all climes and in every country… \"\"Early years Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Jr. was born in St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica to Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Sr., a mason, and Sarah Jane Richards, a domestic worker.

"text": "Frederick Douglass First published Wed Jun 13, 2012; substantive revision Fri Jan 6, 2017Frederick Douglass (c. 1817–1895) is a central figure in United States and African American history. [ 1] He was born a slave, circa 1817; [ 2] his mother was a Negro slave and his father was reputed to be his white master. Douglass escaped from slavery in 1838 and rose to become a principal leader and spokesperson for the U. S. Abolition movement. He would eventually develop into a towering figure for the U. S. Civil Rights Movement, and his legacy would be claimed by a diverse span of groups, from liberals and integrationists to conservatives to nationalists, within and without black America. He wrote three autobiographies, each one expanding on the details of his life. The first was Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, Written By Himself (in 1845); [ 3] the second was My Bondage and My Freedom (in 1852a; FDAB: 103–452); [ 4] and the third was Life and Times of Frederick Douglass (in 1881; FDAB: 453–1045). They are now foremost examples of the American slave narrative. In addition to being autobiographical, they are also, as is standard, explicitly works of political and social criticism and moral suasion; they were aimed at the hearts and minds of the readers, and their greater purpose was to attack and to contribute to the abolition of slavery in the United States, and to argue for the full inclusion of black Americans into the nation. Shortly after escaping from slavery, Douglass began operating as a spokesperson, giving numerous speeches about his life and experiences, for William Lloyd Garrison’s American Anti-Slavery Society. To spread his story and assist the abolitionist cause, as well as to counter early charges that someone so eloquent as he could not have been a slave, Douglass wrote and published his first autobiography, the Narrative."

The beauty of the hour and the setting--the great muddy river glinting in the sun, the banked and tinted summer clouds, the rush of the train toward the dark, all touched an adolescent sensibility tender after the gloomy day. The sense of beauty and death, of hope and despair, fused in his imagination. A phrase came to him, then a sentence. Drawing an envelope from his pocket, he began to scribble. In a few minutes Langston had finished a poem.. . . With its allusions to deep dusky rivers, the setting sun, sleep, and the soul, \"\"The Negro Speaks of Rivers\"\" is suffused with the image of death and, simultaneously, the idea of deathlessness. As in Whitman's philosophy, only the knowledge of death can bring the primal spark of poetry and life. Here Langston Hughes became \"\"the outsetting bard,\"\" in Whitman's phrase, the poet who sings of life because at last he has known death.

"text": "\"Three Visions for African Americans Three Visions for African Americans In the early years of the 20th century, Booker T. Washington, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Marcus Garvey developed competing visions for the future of African Americans. Civil War Reconstruction failed to assure the full rights of citizens to the freed slaves. By the 1890s, Ku Klux Klan terrorism, lynchings, racial-segregation laws, and voting restrictions made a mockery of the rights guaranteed by the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments, which were passed after the Civil War. The problem for African Americans in the early years of the 20th century was how to respond to a white society that for the most part did not want to treat black people as equals. Three black visionaries offered different solutions to the problem. Booker T. Washington argued for African Americans to first improve themselves through education, industrial training, and business ownership. Equal rights would naturally come later, he believed. W. E. B. Du Bois agreed that self-improvement was a good idea, but that it should not happen at the expense of giving up immediate full citizenship rights. Another visionary, Marcus Garvey, believed black Americans would never be accepted as equals in the United States. He pushed for them to develop their own separate communities or even emigrate back to Africa."

In his early childhood his parents separated, and he remained with his mother until her death in 1884. The community in which he lived comprised a population of approximately 5,000 whites and about 50 black people. Vindictive attitudes toward the black people added to Du Bois' already troubled life. Despite many hardships, Du Bois became an excellent student and he was hired as the local correspondent for the New York Globe. Through editorials and lectures, he emphasized the need for black people to be politically recognized. Naturally gifted intellectually, he surpassed his peers and in 1883 graduated as the sole black student from Great Barrington High School. Du Bois earned a partial scholarship to Fisk University in Nashville and enrolled at the tender age of 15.

"text": "\"Marcus Garvey presiding at the 1922 UNIA convention, Liberty Hall, New York City Courtesy The Marcus Garvey and UNIA Papers Project, UCLAMarcus Garvey and his organization, the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), represent the largest mass movement in African-American history. Proclaiming a black nationalist \"\"Back to Africa\"\" message, Garvey and the UNIA established 700 branches in thirty-eight states by the early 1920s. While chapters existed in the larger urban areas such as New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, Garvey's message reached into small towns across the country as well. Later groups such as Father Divine's Universal Peace Mission Movement and the Nation of Islam drew members and philosophy from Garvey's organization, and the UNIA's appeal and influence were felt not only in America but in Canada, the Caribbean, and throughout Africa. Garvey's philosophy and organization had a rich religious component that he blended with the political and economic aspects. Considering the strong political and economic black nationalism of Garvey's movement, it may seem odd to include an essay on him in a Web site on religion in America. However, his philosophy and organization had a rich religious component that he blended with the political and economic aspects. Garvey himself claimed that his \"\"Declaration of Rights of the Negro Peoples of the World,\"\" along with the Bible, served as \"\"the Holy Writ for our Negro Race.\"\" He stated very clearly that \"\"as we pray to Almighty God to save us through his Holy Words so shall we with confidence in ourselves follow the sentiment of the Declaration of Rights and carve our way to liberty.\"\" For Garvey, it was no less than the will of God for black people to be free to determine their own destiny."

Du Bois Photograph by Carl Van Vechten, 1946. Courtesy of the Library of Congress (LC-USZ62-42528). Du Bois, W. E. B. ( 23 February 1868–27 August 1963 ), African-American activist, historian, and sociologist, was born William Edward Burghardt Du Bois in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, the son of Mary Silvina Burghardt, a domestic worker, and Alfred Du Bois, a barber and itinerant laborer. In later life Du Bois made a close study of his family origins, weaving them rhetorically and conceptually—if not always accurately—into almost everything he wrote. Born in Haiti and descended from Bahamian mulatto slaves, Alfred Du Bois enlisted during the Civil War as a private in a New York regiment of the Union army but appears to have deserted shortly afterward. He also deserted the family less than two years after his son’s birth, leaving him to be reared by his mother and the extended Burghardt kin. Long resident in New England, the Burghardts descended from a freedman of Dutch slave origin who had fought briefly in the American Revolution. Under the care of his mother and her relatives, young Will Du Bois spent his entire childhood in that small western Massachusetts town, where probably fewer than two-score of the 4,000 inhabitants were African American. He received a classical, college preparatory education in Great Barrington’s racially integrated high school, from whence, in June 1884, he became the first African-American graduate. A precocious youth, Du Bois not only excelled in his high school studies but contributed numerous articles to two regional newspapers, the Springfield Republican and the black-owned New York Globe, then edited by T. Thomas Fortune."

Where Ross flies under the radar of media scrutiny, residents of Alpine inevitably get attention. In a town where single-family homes sometimes list for more than $50 million, the current most expensive listing is a seven-bedroom, 12-bathroom mansion priced at $18.5 million. Though wealthy neighborhoods hold their appeal through storms, recessions and stock bubbles, even Ross stumbled considerably in recent years before bouncing back with a vengeance in the past 12 months. The greater San Francisco area saw a 38.6% decrease in home values from 2006 to 2011, according to Jennifer Du Bois, a director at Realtor.com, which supplied 24/7 Wall St. with data about America's 10 most expensive ZIP codes for home buyers. This year, median list prices in Ross' ZIP code, 94957, have shot up more than 73% from a year ago. In the 10 luxury ZIP codes, where median list prices in September were at least $2.8 million and as much as $6.7 million, residents are incredibly wealthy."

He not only holds six Grammy Awards and was one of the best selling American performing artists of his time, but also Dr. Dre has used his experience in the industry for his own entrepreneurial feats. With the recent biopic Straight Outta Compton exploring Dr. Dre’s early days with N. W. A., we are left wondering how he reached his uber success that he has today. Dr. Dre sits pretty with an estimated impressive worth of $700 million dollars this year. He’s not the wealthiest hip hop artist, but he sure is close, and his rise from humble beginnings is one worth noting. After N. W. A.’s breakup, Dr. Dre went on to record “The Chronic” his first solo album, and was recognized as one of hip hop’s most iconic artists and producers for the years to follow. The Chronic was seen as something of a cultural phenomenon, introducing a new style of rap to the mainstream. The album was certified triple platinum in 1993, and Dr. Dre was ranked as the eighth best selling musical artist of the year."

In honor of the iconic singer’s death, here is a list of 11 other notable HIV-related deaths: Rock Hudson Rock Hudson was one of the first mainstream celebrities to die from an AIDS-related illness. The hunky Hollywood actor was known for films like \"\"Giant,\"\" \"\"Pillow Talk\"\" and \"\"Send Me No Flowers. \"\" Before his death in 1985, he came out about his AIDS diagnosis and his homosexuality. Anthony Perkins This famous actor is best known for his role as the creepy killer Norman Bates in Alfred Hitchcock's \"\"Psycho. \"\" Though he kept his diagnosis a secret, Perkins died of AIDS-related pneumonia in 1992. Rudolf Nureyev A Russian ballet dancer and choreographer, Rudolf Nureyev died of AIDS in 1993 — 10 years after taking a job as the ballet director for the Paris Opera.

But Jerry Heller claims that he was not to blame for the backstabbing which ended the group he called 'The Black Beatles'. In his memoir he pointed the finger at the group's producer Dr Dre and accused him of 'betraying' the group's founder and owner Eazy-E. Heller claims that Dre set up E to get blackmailed into freeing him from his contract in a deceit that puts to shame the respectable producer he is today who sold his Beats headphones to Apple for $700 million. Scroll down for video+10The real thing: NWA, posing with rappers The D. O. C. - who was to become part of the narrative of their breakup and Laylaw from Above The Law. Standing from left to right: Laylaw, DJ Yella, Dr. Dre and The D. O. C. ; Seated left to right Ice Cube, Eazy-E and MC Ren+10Movie version: NWA as portrayed in Straight Outts Compton, with Dj Yella played by Neil Brown Jr; MC ren played by Aldis Hodge; Dr. Dre played by Corey Hawkins; Eazy-E, played by Jason Mitchell; and Ice Cube, played by his son O'Shea Jackson Jr. Heller wrote that he bitterly regretted how he 'failed' NWA because he did not think that Dre would stoop so low. He wrote: 'I couldn't imagine anyone coming in between the two most crucial members of the group - Eazy E and Dr Dre. '' I couldn't grasp the idea that two people could be that tight, could have that much history and reach the pinnacle of fame and success together and then have one turned around and betray the other.+10Not the villain: Jerry Heller has defended himself against claims he was on the negative side of the NWA narrative, saying that it was Dr Dre's fault for betraying Eazy-E'I didn't have that level of understanding of the human animal. I guess that even after three decades I had spent in the rough-and-tumble music business, in a corner of my soul I was naive'. The claims are the latest example of how Straight Outta Compton has been accused of whitewashing the band's checkered past. The movie is about the five men; Dre, E, Ice Cube, MC Ren and DJ Yella, who brought gangster rap to the mainstream with NWA - which stands for N****s With Attitude - before splitting after four years together."

"text": "Born and Raised in New York City: Hip-Hop's Musical Evolution of Rap Bey Alexander Dr. Beal Hist 394The hip-hop culture began in the streets of New York City over twenty-five years ago and has gone through tremendous changes up until now. Hip-Hop consists of four elements: rap, graffiti, break-dancing, and the disc jockey. In this paper, I intend to fully explain the evolution of rap music, from its infancy to the giant industry it is today. Hip-Hop emerged in the 1970’s upon the arrival of a one Kool DJ Herc. Kool DJ Herc migrated to the United States from Kingston, Jamaica and settled in the West Bronx of New York. Kool DJ Herc was a disc jockey that attempted to incorporate his Jamaica style of disc jockeying, which involved reciting improvised rhymes over reggae records. Unfortunately for Kool DJ Herc New York seemed uninterested in reggae at that time. This forced Kool DJ Herc to find another appealing sound in order to please his audiences, which he did. Kool DJ Herc adapted a new style, which involved him by chanting over the instrumental or percussion sections of the popular music of the day. He learned that by taking two identical records using an audio mixer, that he could play any segment over and over, there fore extending one segment for entire song (Light, 1999)."

"text": "Born and Raised in New York City: Hip-Hop's Musical Evolution of Rap Bey Alexander Dr. Beal Hist 394The hip-hop culture began in the streets of New York City over twenty-five years ago and has gone through tremendous changes up until now. Hip-Hop consists of four elements: rap, graffiti, break-dancing, and the disc jockey. In this paper, I intend to fully explain the evolution of rap music, from its infancy to the giant industry it is today. Hip-Hop emerged in the 1970’s upon the arrival of a one Kool DJ Herc. Kool DJ Herc migrated to the United States from Kingston, Jamaica and settled in the West Bronx of New York. Kool DJ Herc was a disc jockey that attempted to incorporate his Jamaica style of disc jockeying, which involved reciting improvised rhymes over reggae records. Unfortunately for Kool DJ Herc New York seemed uninterested in reggae at that time. This forced Kool DJ Herc to find another appealing sound in order to please his audiences, which he did. Kool DJ Herc adapted a new style, which involved him by chanting over the instrumental or percussion sections of the popular music of the day. He learned that by taking two identical records using an audio mixer, that he could play any segment over and over, there fore extending one segment for entire song (Light, 1999)."

What are your thoughts on Straight Outta Compton? You shared your thoughts on Twitter briefly, but you mentioned you had some inaccuracies you wanted to clear up. Yeah, overall, I think it's an incredible film. For the most part, it definitely gets the story out there. You know my generation is not really familiar with Eazy-E and NWA and where they came from and how they started and what all they accomplished and what they did and what they had to go through. I'm really excited for everyone to learn that, but I just felt like there were a lot of pivotal moments of my dad's life that were left out. I am working on a documentary that I'm producing with my mom Tracy [Jernagin]. It's going to touch on a lot of my dad's life and a lot of things that they didn't show in the movie, but mainly focus on the scandal surrounding his death and what happened afterwards: What happened to his kids?"

By Leslie Dobbins March 11 2015 1:01 PM EDTFour decades on, HIV remains a frightening reality. While many are living long and healthy lives with the disease, AIDS-related diseases felled 1.5 million people in 2013. Once thought to only affect certain people, HIV and AIDS do not discriminate when it comes to income, race, or sexuality. The stories of the following 23 individuals taught many that lesson, and many of these celebrities made it their mission to inform as many as possible about HIV's universal threat. Rock Hudson (1925-1985) Hudson was Hollywood's ultimate leading man throughout the 1950s and '60s, romancing some of the industry’s most beloved actresses on-screen, such as Doris Day, Julie Andrews, and longtime friend Elizabeth Taylor. He was briefly married in order to mask his homosexuality. Hudson died of AIDS-related complications in 1985. His death caused a mini-panic in Hollywood, as one of his last roles, on the prime-time soap Dynasty, required a long kiss with co-star Linda Evans (Evans was, obviously, fine and not angry at Hudson for not disclosing his HIV status). Hudson was the first major Hollywood star to die of the illness."

The methods available to those who worked in psychology's first laboratories were relatively limited. While considerable progress had been made in designing apparatus to control the systematic presentation of stimuli, to measure the time taken by or strength of an observer's reactions, and even to register the duration or course of response for later analysis, use of this apparatus was generally restricted to the study of sense perception and reaction time. Stimuli were relatively simple (e.g., a flash of light, a sound of a given frequency or amplitude, pressure from a weight of known mass or from two points at varying distances from one another, chemical odors) and the observer's response typically involved a simple judgment or movement, possibly accompanied by introspection regarding the experience itself.

"text": "\"THE STUDY OF HUMAN MEMORY??? Did You Know ??? Proponents of the “tabula rasa” (blank slate) thesis favour the nurture side of the nature versus nurture debate, when it comes to aspects of personality, intelligence and social and emotional behaviour. The idea first surfaced in a treatise of Aristotle, but then lay dormant for over a thousand years until developed by the 11th Century Persian philosopher Avicenna, and then John Locke ’s classic statement of the theory in the 17th Century. Sigmund Freud revived the idea in the 20th Century, depicting personality traits as being formed by family dynamics. The study of human memory stretches back at least 2,000 years to Aristotle ’s early attempts to understand memory in his treatise “On the Soul”. In this, he compared the human mind to a blank slate and theorized that all humans are born free of any knowledge and are merely the sum of their experiences. Aristotle compared memory to making impressions in wax, sometimes referred to as the \"\"storehouse metaphor\"\", a theory of memory which held sway for many centuries. In antiquity, it was generally assumed that there were two sorts of memory: the “natural memory” (the inborn one that everyone uses every day) and the “artificial memory” (trained through learning and practice of a variety of mnemonic techniques, resulting in feats of memory that are quite extraordinary or impossible to carry out using the natural memory alone). Roman rhetoricians such as Cicero and Quintillian expanded on the art of memory or the method of loci (a method often first attributed to Simonides of Creos or the Pythagoreans), and their ideas were passed down to the medieval Scholastics and later scholars of the Renaissance like Matteo Ricci and Giordano Bruno."

You tend to remember the first part, some random stuff in the middle, and the end. What is that all about? Recency Effect Defined Why is there a summary at the beginning and end of a chapter or lesson? If your shopping list is in alphabetical order, why do you remember apples, bananas, mushrooms, xylophone wax, yogurt, and zebra steaks? The recency effect can be described as you remembering best the items that come at the end of the list. So in the example above, you remember a few things from the beginning (apples and bananas), some stuff in the middle (mushrooms), and a lot of stuff at the end (xylophone wax, yogurt, and zebra steaks). This is related to the primacy effect, which states you remember some things at the beginning of a list because it occurred first. Memorizing a list of words is like running a marathon."

Provide examples of how social psychologists measure the variables they are interested in. Review the three types of research designs, and evaluate the strengths and limitations of each type. Consider the role of validity in research, and describe how research programs should be evaluated. Social psychologists are not the only people interested in understanding and predicting social behavior or the only people who study it. Social behavior is also considered by religious leaders, philosophers, politicians, novelists, and others, and it is a common topic on TV shows. But the social psychological approach to understanding social behavior goes beyond the mere observation of human actions. Social psychologists believe that a true understanding of the causes of social behavior can only be obtained through a systematic scientific approach, and that is why they conduct scientific research. Social psychologists believe that the study of social behavior should be empirical —that is, based on the collection and systematic analysis of observable data. The Importance of Scientific Research Because social psychology concerns the relationships among people, and because we can frequently find answers to questions about human behavior by using our own common sense or intuition, many people think that it is not necessary to study it empirically (Lilienfeld, 2011)."

Using himself as a subject, Ebbinghaus studied lists of nonsense syllables to control for confounding variables such as prior knowledge, allowing him to discover the spacing effect and serial position effect. [ 1]A more recent study that researched the effects of distributed practice was done by Alan Baddeley and Longman in 1978. They researched the effectiveness of distributed practice by teaching postmen how to type using a new system on a typewriter and comparing massed and spaced learning schedules. Baddeley found that although massed practice would seem a more effective learning method because the participants would be able to learn the material in fewer days, the postmen who were taught using shorter sessions stretched over multiple days learned the material better than those who had the longer training sessions."

Ebbinghaus focused much of his work on memory and learning habits. Through his research he created the forgetting curve. Ebbinghaus believed that learning was all about associations. He maintained that the mind was a network of associations among elements (Mook, 2004). If two events take place together, the one event is now connected to the other in the mind. After forming the aforementioned association, one has it available for retrieval, which is what we call memory. Ebbinghaus set out to study memories in regards to their formation and rate of decay. He wanted memories that were built up from zero strength (Mook, 2004). In order to do so Ebbinghaus needed to create information that was completely meaningless."

Psychology borders on various other fields including physiology, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, sociology, anthropology, as well as philosophy and other components of the humanities.

Well the times have changed and I guess I’m now old-fashioned too because I keep asking myself, “What’s the world coming to?”Let’s consider the social aspects of television as an example of what I’m referring to here. In my youth, watching television was associated with many “negative things,” not the least of which was my mother’s constant warning that I’d lose my eyesight from watching too much TV or getting too close to the television set. I also remember many pejorative terms for television, including referring to it as the “boob tube.” If there ever was a time when television could more accurately be called the boob tube, then this must be it.

The IIS provided the BW program with security and participated in biological research, probably for its own purposes, from the beginning of Iraq’s BW effort in the early 1970s until the final days of Saddam Husayn’s Regime. In 1991, Saddam Husayn regarded BW as an integral element of his arsenal of WMD weapons, and would have used it if the need arose. At a meeting of the Iraqi leadership immediately prior to the Gulf war in 1991, Saddam Husayn personally authorized the use of BW weapons against Israel, Saudi Arabia and US forces. Although the exact nature of the circumstances that would trigger use was not spelled out, they would appear to be a threat to the leadership itself or the US resorting to “ unconventional harmful types of weapons. ” Saddam envisaged all-out use. For example, all Israeli cities were to be struck and all the BW weapons at his disposal were to be used. Saddam specified that the “ many years ” agents, presumably anthrax spores, were to be employed against his foes. ISG judges that Iraq’s actions between 1991 and 1996 demonstrate that the state intended to preserve its BW capability and return to a steady, methodical progress toward a mature BW program when and if the opportunity arose. ISG assesses that in 1991, Iraq clung to the objective of gaining war-winning weapons with the strategic intention of achieving the ability to project its power over much of the Middle East and beyond."

"text": "\"Recall (memory)From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Several terms redirect here. For other uses, see Recollection (disambiguation), Recognizable (disambiguation) and Recall (disambiguation). Recall in memory refers to the mental process of retrieval of information from the past. Along with encoding and storage, it is one of the three core processes of memory. There are three main types of recall: free recall, cued recall and serial recall. Psychologists test these forms of recall as a way to study the memory processes of humans [1] and animals. [ 2] Two main theories of the process of recall are the two-stage theory and the theory of encoding specificity.

In this theory, recognition only involves the latter of these two stages, or processes, and this is thought to account for the superiority of the recognition process over recall. Recognition only involves one process in which error or failure may occur, while recall involves two. ["

Little is known about his infancy except that he was brought up in the Lutheran faith and was a pupil at the town Gymnasium. At the age of 17 (1867), he began attending the University of Bonn, where he had planned to study history and philology. However, during his time there he developed an interest in philosophy. In 1870, his studies were interrupted when he served with the Prussian Army in the Franco-Prussian War. Following this short stint in the military, Ebbinghaus finished his dissertation on Eduard von Hartmann 's Philosophie des Unbewussten (philosophy of the unconscious) and received his doctorate on August 16, 1873, when he was 23 years old. During the next three years, he spent time at Halle and Berlin. ["

"text": "\"A Brief History of Military Contributions to Ethical Standards for Research Involving Human Subjectsby Arthur O. Anderson M. D. In the 1700's, individualism, self-determination, national autonomy and desire for a government that acts upon consent of the governed, were high among the reasons why our forefathers fought the war for independence. Acts of defiance like the Boston Tea party and the Maryland repudiation of the Stamp Act showed how strongly colonists reacted to Britain's enacting laws and levying taxes without representation by the colonists. The need to have information about, and input into, actions that effect a person's life is fundamental to human nature. Autonomy, Self determination and Consent are among the human \"\"rights\"\" that ethicists group under the principle of \"\"respect for persons.\"\" It is not surprising that revolutions happen when the state denies the public these rights. George Washington's experience during the French and Indian War convinced him that Smallpox was a formidable foe, yet he later chose force rather than reason to ensure that all his troops were protected from this disease during the war for independence. As a Revolutionary War General, George Washington used variolation to stop the spread of a Smallpox epidemic in his troops. Smallpox casualties reduced General Washington's healthy troop strength to half while the British troops, who had either recovered from the disease or had variolated themselves, were already immune to the spreading contagion. Washington proclaimed smallpox to be his \"\"most dangerous foe\"\"; and, by 1777 he had the entire continental army variolated before beginning new military operations in Valley Forge. He also ordered all new recruits to be variolated as soon as they enlisted."

In order to make good business, setting a lower price, coming up with better quality or more attractive design is not enough. It is extremely important to effectively use advertisement as a persuasive weapon. However, when all traditional ways have been tried out and the results still are not as expected, there is one more option left called subliminal advertising. It can be described as a type of advertising that uses some visual or audio stimuli that is masked by other visual or audio stimuli before being further processed in to the brain. To be more precise, people do not realize or remember this type of advertisement. Yet, it is believed to influence their behavior and decision making process. Despite the limited amount of research in this field, subliminal messaging is widely used in many areas."

"text": "\"Estrogen Replacement Therapy and Memory By Marina Jovanovic What is Memory? Human memory and how it works is still one of the great mysteries (or enigmas) waiting to be solved and understood, so that we may acquire more control over its intricacies and be able to help those who experience problems with it. A life without memories, where one would never be able to recognize the face or voice of a loved one, never be able to recognize a language, never be able to learn a new task (such as cooking) or remember an old one (such as writing), is an unimaginable one for most of us. In order for us to benefit from an experience, we have to be able to remember it. The Roman statesman Cicero stated many centuries ago that memory is \"\"the treasury and guardian of all things.\"\" Thus, memory is essential to the concept of learning as well. So what exactly is memory, and how does it work? Here's some background information intended to shed some light on this inquiry. The Basics of Memory and How is Works The process by which experiences change our nervous system and inevitably our behavior is referred to as learning, and we call these changes memories. Early in the century, the German philosopher Herman Ebbinghaus (1850-1909) studied the memorization of syllables in a seemingly meaningless series."

K. Lavater, Cesare Lombroso, Enrico Ferri, Raffaele Garofalo, Ernest Hooten, Charles Goring Most Important Works Lombroso, Criminal Man (1863); Garofalo, Criminology (1885); Ferri, Criminal Sociology (1884); Goring, The English Convict (1913); William Sheldon, Varieties of Delinquent Youth (1949); Eleanor Glueck and Sheldon Glueck, Unraveling Juvenile Delinquency (1950)Biological Positivism• Core Ideas Some people have biological and mental traits that make them crime-prone. These traits are inherited and present at birth. Mental and physical degeneracies are the cause of crime. Modern Outgrowths Biosocial Theory, Psychodynamic Theory, Cognitive Theory, Behavioral Theory, Evolutionary Theory. Early Positivist Research• Phrenology (Gall)• Atavism (Lombroso)• Hereditary School• Jukes and Kallikaks• Somatology (Sheldon)• Family, Heredity and Genes Modern Biological Theories• Twin Studies• Adoption Studies• Chromosomal Abnormalities• Neurochemical Mechanisms• Diet Lombroso and the Early Biological Theories• The most important of the early theories was the work of Cesare Lombroso,• 1876 Criminal Man• Compared Italian Soldiers with Italian Prisoners, found systematic differences convincing him criminals were born…• Lombroso’s work was the trigger that lead to the positivist perspective. The Positive School (1875-1920)Almost entirely biologically or psychologically deterministic:• Multiple factor causation -- natural factors, biological and environmental, caused crime Strong influence of Darwinism -- man just another, albeit superior, animal• No link to Divinity• Free will and rationalism challenged by determinism -- controlling effects are biological and cultural antecedents. Major Significance—Method, Not Substantive Content• Beginning of modern criminology uses scientific method• Most important early theory of crime• Method was based on seven main ideas• 1) a single scientific methodology is appropriate for natural and social sciences• 2) assumes that invariable social laws exist and can be discovered by scientific research• 3) insists upon use of quantitative, rather than qualitative research methods Positivist Approach• 4) deterministic, denies possibility of free will• 5) sought causal laws of crime -- derived from deterministic relationships inherent in human existence• 6) separation of morality from science and law• 7) research directed to the causes of criminal behavior, not the sources of criminal law• Founder and primary proponent - Lombroso Cesare Lombroso (1835-1909)• Most tested, reevaluated, retested, and rewritten of all theories of crime• Basic idea -- a significant proportion of criminals were biological throwbacks -- ATAVISMS -- a primitive form of humans• Could not adapt to modern society, predetermined to crime• Recognizable by physical stigmata• Rejected free will -- a positivist Cesare Lombroso (1835-1909)After years testing, revising, and modifying, identified three classes of criminals• atavistic -- born criminals -- throwbacks, more primitive human typesa) recognized by their physical stigmatab) one-third of criminals were so classified Stigmata• Asymmetry of the face or head• Large monkey like ears• Large lips• Receding chin• Twisted nose• Excessive cheek bones• Long arms Stigmata• Long arms• Excessive skin wrinkles• Extra fingers or toes• Five or more of these characteristics made a male an atavist: Three or more made a female an atavist.

It is only through these transfers that history can become European (or global). Concentrations and accumulations of these transfers can be understood as a transcultural history of Europe and ultimately as Europeanization. The entities transferred can be defined in concrete terms as culturemes and structuremes. In many cases, the most diverse cultural references, which make concrete transfer easier and more efficient, are available. Cultural transfers continuously give rise to new coherences, which in some cases connect with one another over large areas – resulting in macro-coherences or clusters of coherences, as one finds in the context of the process referred to as Europeanization. However, these coherences can also remain restricted to local areas, without creating further \"\"contagions\"\". Cultural transfer research makes the rigid, linearly delimited, and strictly systemic elements of each cultural phenomenon permeable, thereby revealing the hybrid and composite nature of cultural phenomena.

"text": "Doing vs. Allowing Harm First published Tue May 14, 2002; substantive revision Tue Nov 1, 2016Is there a moral difference between doing harm and merely [ 1] allowing harm? If not, there should be no moral objection to active euthanasia in circumstances where passive euthanasia is permissible; and there should be no objection to bombing innocent civilians where doing so will minimize the overall number of deaths in war. There should, however, be an objection—indeed, an outcry—at our failure to prevent the deaths of millions of children in the third world from malnutrition, dehydration, and measles. [ 2] Moreover, it seems that the question is pertinent to whether consequentialism is true, as consequentialists believe that doing harm is no worse than merely allowing harm while anti-consequentialists, almost universally, disagree. But is there a moral difference between doing harm and merely allowing harm? We might divide approaches to this question into two broad kinds. First, those that attempt to answer it without saying anything about the nature of the distinction either by use of examples (‘the contrast strategy.’) or by appealing to considerations that are purportedly independent of the precise nature of distinction. And, second, those that analyze the distinction in depth and try to show that its underlying nature dictates an answer to the moral question.1.

This marked psychology as an independent field of study. [ 5] By creating this laboratory he was able to establish psychology as a separate science from other topics. He also formed the first academic journal for psychological research, Philosophische Studien (from 1881 to 1902), set up to publish the Institute's research. [ 6]A survey published in American Psychologist in 1991 ranked Wundt's reputation in first place regarding \"\"all-time eminence\"\" based on ratings provided by 29 American historians of psychology. William James and Sigmund Freud were ranked a distant second and third.

"text": "Author: Nurse.com Categories: National By Cathryn Domrose Rowena Orosco, RN, BSN, had been working at Johns Hopkins Bayview Burn Center in Baltimore for three years when a family with seven children was brought to the hospital after a fire destroyed their home. The one survivor, a 7-year-old girl, was transferred to the burn center with burns over 70% of her body. As the medical team worked desperately to save the girl, Orosco sat with her, crying and holding her hand as she died. This moment haunts the nurse 15 years later. “I got through that day, but after that I thought about quitting,” Orosco says. Instead she attended a debriefing, exchanged many tearful hugs with colleagues in the halls, talked a lot with a co-worker and kept working. “ You kind of put your emotions aside because there are other patients waiting for you,” she said. Nursing students might learn how to help family members grieve, but seldom learn how to deal with their own feelings of sadness or loss. Research about how nurses cope with patient death is scarce and mostly anecdotal. But what studies there are suggest nurses go through a unique grieving process when patients die, and how they manage this process is important to their well-being."

"text": "Getty Image Shane Mc Mahon is back. After several years away, the no-longer-so-boyish Boy Wonder returned on Raw, and the response from the WWE Universe surprised pretty much everybody, including Shane. The return of the 40-something-year-old son of the boss being the hottest event along this year’s road to Wrestle Mania may sound slightly absurd, but Shane has always occupied a special place in fans’ hearts. Whether he’s taking 50-foot leaps off the Titantron or defiantly walking out on the family business, Shane has always done things a bit differently than the rest of the Mc Mahon clan, both in front of and behind the cameras. Put on your baggiest sports jersey, because here comes the facts Shane-O-Fans need to know…Shane was beat up on and stuffed into lockers by wrestlers as a kid. WWE Network Posing for pictures like this might have contributed to the hazing. On January 15, 1970, Shane Brandon Mc Mahon was born in Gaithersburg, Maryland, the town Vince and Linda Mc Mahon had set up in while promoting WWWF events in Washington, D. C. for Vince’s father. As you might expect, Shane was immediately enamored with the cartoonish, living action figure world of professional wrestling, and hoped he could become André the Giant’s tag team partner someday if he ate enough. Little kids are dumb, okay? As Shane got older, he started hanging around backstage and claims he became something of a “backstage mascot” for the wrestlers."

Well, when you have the established leader of a form of entertainment that has a loyal and happy fanbase of millions that continues to grow and you introduce an alternate product, there's really not much of a reason to watch. If for whatever reason NFL fans were looking for something new and had grown tired of standard professional football, college football, arena football, Canadian football... Then the XFL could have been right up their alley. Football is a business, so let's compare it to the video game business of today. NFL and NCAA = Xbox and Playstation. CFL = Nintendo (for the sake of this example) and we could even say that Arena Football = Sega (not as prominent as before, but still operates on a smaller scale). Now, say someone comes out of the blue with a new video game system to compete with the power houses."

"text": "\"Islam and the Crucifixion of Jesusby Ryan Turner The Muslim religion is one of the fastest growing religions of the world, if not the fastest. Among its many differences with Christianity is that it denies the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. Whether Muslims believe in a substitution theory (another person was crucified in Jesus' place), ascension theory (Jesus was rescued from the cross and ascended to heaven), or swoon theory (Jesus did not actually die while on the cross and survived the rigors of the crucifixion), each one of them clearly denies the death of Jesus by crucifixion. This Islamic belief is not just something that Muslims conjured up in response to Christianity. Instead, the Qur’an clearly denies the crucifixion of Jesus in Surah 4:157-158 which says:“. . . they [the Jews] said (in boast), ‘We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah’ – But they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not – Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself . . . .” 1The Muslim View Commenting on the above verses, the renowned Qur’anic translator and commentator, Yusuf Ali states, “The Qur’anic teaching is that Christ was not crucified nor killed by the Jews . . . .” 2 The Muslim apologist and author Ahmed Deedat agrees, “On the subject of the crucifixion the Muslim is told in no uncertain terms in the Holy Qur’an . . . that they did not kill Him, nor did they crucify Him.” 3 Therefore the Qur’anic teaching is that Jesus did not die by crucifixion, which is in direct contrast to Christianity which says there is no salvation apart from the cross, ( Mt. 26:28; Mk."

Although Guerrero had not taken alcohol or illicit drugs for nearly four years, his past excesses contributed to his heart failure. Guerrero's wife Vickie claimed that he had been unwell in the week preceding his death, but had attributed it to the stress of continuously traveling and performing.

But first, she's talking at the Hay Festival Actress Carrie Fisher, above, is reprising her role as Princess Leia 37 years after the first 'Star Wars’ hit Photo: Riccardo Ghilardi By Horatia Harrod7:00AM BST 24 May 2014Follow Almost 40 years ago Carrie Fisher, then 19 years old and fresh out of drama school, auditioned for and won a part in a science-fiction film. Fisher’s friends joked that the movie’s name – Star Wars – sounded like a biopic of her parents, the actress Debbie Reynolds and singer Eddie Fisher, whose marriage imploded when Fisher ran off with Elizabeth Taylor. The film’s British crew thought the director, a black-bearded and strangely impassive man named George Lucas, didn’t have a clue what he was doing. As for Fisher herself, she was beginning her own intergalactic voyages into the world of hallucinogens. Today, Carrie Fisher is sober, George Lucas is a billionaire and even remote Amazonian tribes own at least one piece of Star Wars merchandise. When Fisher steps on to the set of Star Wars: Episode VII this summer, she will be subject to microscopic attention. She’s been sworn to secrecy about the film, in which she reprises the role of Princess Leia – now named Leia Solo. “I have to censor myself, which is not an impulse of mine,” says Fisher, down the line from her home in LA. “ It’s literally like D-Day."

"text": "The ultimate sexual betrayal - and the guilt that haunted Liz Taylor to the grave By David Leafe Published: 17:56 EDT, 26 April 2013 | Updated: 11:06 EDT, 29 April 2013170View comments The jewellery case had once belonged to Elizabeth Taylor and it was the same beautiful shade of violet as her eyes. Inside were three sparkling pieces: sapphire earrings, a bracelet, and a matching necklace. Even without the cachet of coming from her personal collection, they were worth a sizeable amount and Taylor was specific about who they should go to following her death in March, 2011. While her relatives might have hoped that they would come their way, they were destined to go outside the family and, on the face of it, to the most unexpected of recipients. Devoted: Liz Taylor (centre) and Debbie Reynolds (right) with Eddie Fischer (left) in 1958By then 79, the same age as Taylor when she died, her fellow Hollywood legend Debbie Reynolds learned that it was she who would inherit the gems. That Reynolds might accept such a bequest would have seemed inconceivable back in 1958 when Taylor famously betrayed their friendship by stealing her husband Eddie Fisher and embroiling them in one of the biggest Hollywood scandals of the day. Although it was known that the two women eventually made their peace, no one could have imagined that Taylor would remember her former love rival so generously in her will. But then, as Reynolds explains in an entertaining new autobiography, the reconciliation between her and her ‘dear friend’ went much further than anybody ever knew. She recalls visiting the increasingly frail Taylor at her home in 2003 and taking along a pumpkin pie. Together they began watching the Tom Cruise film The Last Samurai."

"text": "\"Owen Hart World Wrestling Entertainment How exactly did Owen Hart die?4 Answers Satyam Upadhyay, works at Defence Research & Development Organisation, India Answered Sep 30, 2015Originally Answered: How did Owen Hart die? On May 23, 1999, Hart fell to his death in Kansas City, Missouri during the Over the Edge pay-per-view event. Hart was in the process of being lowered via harness and grapple line into the ring from the rafters of Kemper Arena for a booked IC match against the Godfather. In keeping with the Blazer's new \"\"buffoonish superhero\"\" character, he was to begin a dramatic entrance, being lowered to just above ring level, at which time he would act \"\"entangled\"\", then release himself from the safety harness and fall flat on his face for comedy—this necessitated the use of a quick release mechanism. While being lowered into the ring, Hart fell 78 feet (24 m), landing chest-first on the top rope (approximately a foot from the nearest turnbuckle), throwing him into the ring. Hart was transported to TMC in Kansas City. While several attempts to revive him were made, he died from his injuries; some believe he died in the ring. The cause of death was later revealed to be internal bleeding from blunt force trauma. source-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owen_Hart1.8k Views Your response is private.

"text": "Mike Bruno September 24, 2010 AT 11:04 AM EDTImage Credit: Popperfoto/Getty Images Pop idol Eddie Fisher died on Wednesday due to complications from a recent hip surgery, his family announced on Thursday. He was 82. Fisher, father to actress Carrie Fisher, was one of the most successful pop singers of the 1950s. In addition to chart-topping hits, like “Thinking of You,” “Walking Behind You,” and “Oh! My Pa-Pa,” Fisher also had the TV variety show Coke Time with Eddie Fisher and The Eddie Fisher Show. He fell out of the spotlight with the advent of rock’n’roll, though he continued to record well into the 1960s. Fisher was married five times. He had two children, Carrie and Todd, with his first wife, actress-singer Debbie Reynolds, whom he famously left for second wife Elizabeth Taylor. Carrie Fisher has compared her parents’ messy divorce and father’s re-marriage to Taylor to the modern-day Jennifer Aniston-Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie saga. Fisher was also married to actress Connie Stevens, with whom he had two more children, actresses Joely and Tricia Leigh Fisher."

"text": "\"HOLLYWOODInside Carrie Fisher’s Difficult Upbringing with Famous Parents Her father, Eddie Fisher, left her mother, Debbie Reynolds, for Elizabeth Taylor—and that was only the beginning.by Julie Miller December 27, 2016 9:15 pm From Camera Press/Redux. Carrie Fisher, who died Tuesday, had a complex relationship with Hollywood, which she hilariously described in her autographical books, one-woman show, and interviews over her four-decade career. While it can be grotesque to watch celebrities publicly lamenting their life’s hand, Fisher used her wit, talent, and experiences to entertain audiences everywhere from movie screens to Twitter streams. And in a 2009 interview, Fisher told Vanity Fair how sharing her stories—which had an atypical, wry perspective on Hollywood’s usual trappings: stars, addictions, and broken marriages—played a large role in her mental health. “The fact that I can make somebody laugh at this stuff—it can be very cathartic,” Fisher said of opening her life up for public consumption. “ If you claim something, you can own it. But if you have it as a shameful secret, you’re fucked; you’re sitting in a room populated by elephants. I have a lot of elephants to kill. But I also have a lot to be grateful for. Most of my problems are high-class."

Two deaths of iconic Hollywood actresses who were also mother and daughter. Debbie Reynolds died Wednesday at 84, one day after daughter Carrie Fisher's death. It's unclear why Reynolds died -- she had complained of breathing problems, an unnamed sourced told the Los Angeles Times -- but she was reeling emotionally from losing her daughter, who was 60. \"\" She spoke to me this morning and said she missed Carrie,\"\" said Reynolds' son Todd Fisher. \"\" She's with Carrie now. Reynolds' long career in entertainment In late November in an interview on WHYY's \"\"Fresh Air,\"\" host Terry Gross spoke with Fisher about her mother. Though famous, the two went through the same evolution that many moms and daughters experience -- it can be feisty during the teenage years, and maybe into a daughter's early 20s, but as the child ages, she begins to appreciate the wisdom, power and experience of the woman who, despite obstacles, raised her, lived as an example to her, loved her without condition. \"\" I could appreciate -- she's an immensely powerful woman.

(Harmon) and Raymond Francis Reynolds, a carpenter for the Southern Pacific Railroad. Her film career began at MGM after she won a beauty contest at age 16 impersonating Betty Hutton. Reynolds wasn't a dancer until she was selected to be Gene Kelly 's partner in Singin' in the Rain (1952). Not yet twenty, she was a quick study. Twelve years later, it seemed like she had been around forever. Most of her early film work was in MGM musicals, as perky, wholesome young women. She continued to use her dancing skills with stage work. She was 31 when she gave an Academy Award-nominated performance in The Unsinkable Molly Brown (1964). She survived losing first husband Eddie Fisher to Elizabeth Taylor following the tragic death of Mike Todd. Her second husband, shoe magnate Harry Karl, gambled away his fortune as well as hers."

This show proved to be so popular that Coke then offered Eddie a $1 million contract to be their national spokesperson. A deal of that magnitude was almost unheard of at this time and helped push Fisher towards being one of the most popular singers by 1954. In 1955 Eddie married Debbie Reynolds and daughter Carrie Fisher was born a year later, followed by son Todd Fisher in l958. Later that year, the scandal of the decade broke when stories of Eddie's affair with Elizabeth Taylor were made public. She had been widowed earlier that year when her husband Mike Todd, Eddie's best friend, died in a plane crash. The bad publicity that followed did a great deal of damage to Eddie's career, while it actually increased the amount of money Elizabeth was offered for films. He and Liz did the movie BUtterfield 8 (1960), which actually earned Taylor an Academy Award, though it was received with mixed reviews. From there Liz went on to star in Cleopatra (1963), with Richard Burton, another scandal and divorce for Liz. With his TV show long gone and hit records a thing of the past, his career in the sixties consisted mainly of stage shows in Las Vegas, New York, and smaller venues as time went on."

And there is no argument that he did create some of the most spectacular technology the world has ever seen, and he did hold more than 1,000 patents. But a little research seems to indicate that he would go to any lengths to claim credit for inventions of other people’s work and creativity. Thomas Edison Did Thomas Edison steal inventions? Here are three examples. Edison is credited with the fluoroscope, which first made x-rays possible. Needless to say, the use of x-rays has been a huge boon to medical science, and the distribution of these devices added to Edison’s growing wealth. The problem is that the actual inventor of a device to see the bones of a human was a German scientist named Wilhelm Rontgen, who took an x-ray of his wife’s hand several years prior to Edison’s fluoroscope. If people confused this mistaken time gap, Edison was more than happy not to correct the error and essentially padded his bank account at Rontgen’s expense. Another concept Edison is given credit for is creating devices for recording speech and other forms of sound."

The Electric Bulb or Incandescent Lamp Ask any child who invented the light bulb, and the answer is likely to be \"\"Thomas Edison\"\". Contrary to what schools have taught for years, the American icon, Thomas Edison, neither invented the light bulb, nor held the first patent to the modern design of the light bulb. In reality, light bulbs used as electric lights existed 50 years prior to Thomas Edison’s 1879 patent date.

We all learned in our history classes that Thomas Edison invented the light bulb in 1879 and that the first successful filament was a carbonized piece of cotton thread that burned for 13.5 hours. Today, light bulb filaments are not something we think about, unless they burn out, but their early development is a fascinating story of 19 th century chemistry and materials science. Edison decided to develop an incandescent lighting system at a time when he was acknowledged as the nation�s foremost inventor of telegraphic equipment. By the fall of 1877 Edison had developed some critical insights and announced to the press that he would soon have a commercially successful system. He concluded that a current regulator was needed prevent the bulb�s filament from overheating. Either a thermal expansion device or telegraph style relay could be used to open the circuit when the current was too high. Circuit breakers protecting each filament meant that light bulbs would need to be wired in parallel. Fortunately Edison knew enough about Joule�s and Ohm�s laws to recognize that high-resistance lamps would work most efficiently in parallel circuits. Experiments carried out in the Menlo Park, New Jersey, laboratories, revealed that a filament�s energy consumption was proportional to its radiating surface, not its resistance."

"text": "Penguin Press Thomas Edison is revered as a great American inventor, and his incandescent bulb is considered one of the most important inventions of the modern world. But in The Age of Edison: Electric Light and the Invention of Modern America, Ernest Freeberg shows that the light bulb reflected the work of many inventors, rather than Edison’s lone genius. Freeberg, a University of Tennessee historian, recently spoke with U. S. News about the unexpected and far-reaching ways the light bulb revolutionized life in America, creating a foundation for the consumer economy and urbanization. Excerpts: You do not believe Thomas Edison should be credited as the inventor of the light bulb? Definitely not, and a lot of what I look at in the book is trying to show that invention is a very complex social process. He was in a very competitive race where he borrowed—some said stole—ideas from other inventors who were also working on an incandescent bulb. What made him ultimately successful was that he was not a lone inventor, a lone genius, but rather the assembler of the first research and development team at Menlo Park, N. J. [ Check out U. S. News Weekly, an insider's guide to politics and policy. ] Why is he customarily credited with the invention? Well, partly, Edison was himself a great promoter of his image, and it was important to claim to be the sole inventor in order to win the crucial patents that would determine which person got to control the market share. Also, I think that people wanted to believe in the idea of an inventive genius."

"text": "\"Top 10 Greatest Inventors in History76By Jeff Danelek on January 24, 2011 Engineering, History, People, Science How to determine who the greatest inventors in history were is often a passionate and, at times, even a heated debate. Many men can lay claim to having invented or, at very least, perfecting someone else’s obscure invention, making such a listing problematic at best. Fortunately, I don’t maintain any personal favorites, which will hopefully give me the ability to remain a little more objective than some people. I know that some readers whose favorites failed to make the list will consider their oversight a great travesty, but I really do try to do my best. To pick the top names, I’ve tended towards those who have the greatest number of inventions to their credit—assuming fecundity to be a better gauge of genius—rather than selecting only those inventors who came up with the most significant devices (although there is a degree of overlap between them). That being said, there are a few inventors not on my list who hold over a thousand patents each; they fail to make the cut, however, because almost all of their patents relate to minor variations on a single device (such as a computer processor, for example) or are concentrated in one specific industry rather than over a range of disciplines. Additionally, I do factor in the major impact some inventions had on society but gauge them based upon the degree of technical challenges they represented and the level of technology available to the inventor at the time. And so, without further ado, here are my nominations for the ten greatest inventors of all time.10. Leonardo Da Vinci Many will doubtlessly be surprised that one of the greatest minds of the Renaissance has fallen all the way to number ten, but that’s not an indictment of him, but of the times he lived in. The problem was that his ideas were so far ahead of the technology of his age that almost none of his ideas could be realized; as such, technically he didn’t really “invent” anything at all."

As a child, I remember visiting a local science museum and of being fascinated by something called a \"\"tesla coil,\"\" a large mushroom shaped apparatus that made sparks and lightening. I assumed that Tesla was some kind of inventor but I wasn't sure how the machine that made lightening and sparks was important to anyone outside of the science museum. When I learned that Nikola Tesla invented the radio, and not Marconi, I was shocked. Tesla also invented the electric generator, the electric motor, fluorescent lighting, alternating current (AC) and devised the technologies that generate and deliver our electrical power for our homes, schools and factories. So why didn't I ever learn about Tesla in school -- the same way I learned about Thomas Edison, Marconi and Einstein? The story about Nikola Tesla is the story of a genius who was largely disrespected and abused by other scientists and inventors -- many of whom stole his ideas and took credit for his discoveries. But how did this happen? Tesla had a vision of electromagnetic fields that was real and tangible... Born to a Serbian family on July 9th, 1856 in Smiljan, Croatia (former Yugoslavia), Nikola Tesla was a dreamer with a poetic touch. His first \"\"invention\"\" consisted of a rotary engine, powered by insects that the young Tesla had glued to a paper wheel."

A: Quick Answer The direct current system of generating and distributing electric power was invented by Thomas Edison, one of America’s foremost inventors and businessmen. Edison, who also famously invented the light bulb, was a staunch proponent of direct current and promoted it fiercely over its rival alternating current. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Are Some Interesting Facts About Thomas Edison? What Year Did Thomas Edison Invent the Light Bulb? How Much Did the First Light Bulb Cost? Full Answer In the early days of electric power, there was no practical way to change the voltage from the generator to the load, its intended source. Because incandescent lights were the primary target for electricity, most DC voltages were kept around 100 watts. This low voltage allowed for safe electricity distribution and minimized insulation needs. Gradually, alternating current, or AC, became the dominant form of power transmission because of its ability to vary voltages and transmit over longer distances."

This has been true for over a hundred years and is largely due to the efforts of one American company. Edwin Binney and Harold Smith founded Binney & Smith, Inc. in New York City in the late 1800s. At first, they specialized in industrial colorings, including the pigments that made country barns red and automobile tires black. Later, they began to make slate pencils for students. At the St. Louis World Exhibition in 1902, they won a gold medal for their new product for teachers: the first dustless chalk. While touring schools with these two items, company salesmen saw a need for safe, affordable colored crayons. At this time, wax crayons were big, dull-colored, and clumsy and were used mainly in industry. But Binney & Smith used a combination of paraffin wax and industrial pigments to create crayons that were kid-friendly. In 1903, the first yellow and green box of eight \"\"Crayola\"\" crayons appeared. ("

[ 2] [3] It is often known colloquially as the “Hubble tuning-fork” because of the shape in which it is traditionally represented. Hubble’s scheme divides galaxies into three broad classes based on their visual appearance (originally on photographic plates ): Elliptical galaxies have smooth, featureless light distributions and appear as ellipses in images. They are denoted by the letter \"\"E\"\", followed by an integer n representing their degree of ellipticity on the sky. Spiral galaxies consist of a flattened disk, with stars forming a (usually two-armed) spiral structure, and a central concentration of stars known as the bulge, which is similar in appearance to an elliptical galaxy. They are given the symbol \"\"S\"\". Roughly half of all spirals are also observed to have a bar-like structure, extending from the central bulge."

Jennifer Sheehan Contact Reporter Of The Morning Call Yellow crayon 'Dandelion' to retire from Crayola lineup Crayola fans who love yellow might feel blue when they hear this news: The color Dandelion, a yellow shade with a touch of orange, is retiring. It's the first color in the 24-count box ever to be retired by the Forks Township crayon giant. Crayola planned to make the announcement on Friday, which is National Crayon Day. But someone noticed that a 120-count box of crayons at a Target in Marlton, N. J., included the words \"\"Dandelion is retiring!\"\" and Tweeted out the news. Crayola Experience celebrates its 20th anniversary in downtown Easton. Dandelion will be available in stores while supplies last. It was revealed Friday that a crayon in the 'family of blue' will take its place in the 24-count box, with the actual color to be revealed later this summer. Crayon lovers will be able to enter a contest to name the new color, according to wording on the 120-count box."

It was like a loot bag potluck and I absolutely loved the idea. Waldorf-y people are so clever like that, aren’t they…Given the crowd, I knew that I had to come up with something good. Handmade, of course. Ideally from all natural materials that I harvested from Mother Earth myself by the light of a full moon. In retrospect, I might have put a bit too much pressure on myself. It took me weeks, but I finally came up with the perfect idea: a peg doll roll, just like the one I bought from Purple Lizard Design on Etsy the year before. Isn’t it adorable?

"text": "Activity Source: Adapted with permission by Bruce Wells, American Oil & Gas Historical Society. Background Most people associate petroleum with transportation — but we are surrounded by thousands of other everyday products that come from this vital natural resource. A typical 42- gallon barrel of crude oil yields about 20 gallons of gasoline and 4 gallons of jet fuel. What products come from the other 18 gallons? Almost 150 years ago, on Aug. 27, 1859, “Colonel” Edwin Drake discovered oil at a depth of 69½ feet near Titusville, Pennsylvania, the birthplace of America’s petroleum industry. A replica of his wooden derrick stands at the Drake Well Museum. The museum’s exhibits tell the story of technologies that led to kerosene, gasoline, jet fuel, and an abundance of other commonplace products. For example, in 1872, a young chemist named Robert Chesebrough patented a method for turning a waxy residue from oil wells into a balm. He called it Vaseline. In 1913, Thomas Williams became intrigued when his sister mixed Vaseline with a darkening agent, perhaps coal dust."

Flag What is the symbolic meaning of scarab beetles? Answer by Fwmh Confidence votes 110KThe scarab beetle is a dung beetle, it lays its egg in a ball of dung that it buries in the ground. The egg hatches and the grub eats the dung and then pupates to emerge from the ground as a new adult beetle. The ancient Egyptians saw how these beetles lived and emerged from dry ground and used this as a metaphor for the entombing and resurrection of their mummies. In this way the beetle became the Egyptian symbol for rebirth, the ability to be reborn. The Egyptians also observed the beetle rolling it's egg ball of along the ground, and the ball was identified with the sun and the beetle with the god Khepri who pushed the ball of the sun across the sky. Scarabs were worn as jewelery and amulets in ancient Egypt. The Heart Scarab, which had hieroglyphic inscriptions on the back, was often buried with the dead to ensure the rebirth of the deceased in the afterlife.

But if we look further back in this chapter, we’ll see what this is really talking about. First, it is important to note what Genesis 1 tells us…And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. ( Gen 1:3-5 ASV)If Day and Night are separated by God/Elohim, there is no 24-hour period in Scripture called Day which includes the Night."

Generations of selective breeding, spanning several countries and cultures, produced the sweet red fruit that’s now a common sight on picnic tables. Much of this epic history has been lost to antiquity. But Harry Paris, a horticulturalist at the Agricultural Research Organization in Israel, has spent years assembling clues—including ancient Hebrew texts, artifacts in Egyptian tombs, and medieval illustrations—that have enabled him to chronicle the watermelon’s astonishing 5,000-year transformation.

The staple food of the Egyptians was bread and beer. Bread was baked outside and because of the desert sand was often blown into dough. In time eating bread with grains of sand in it wore down peoples teeth. In ancient Egypt as in all early civilizations meat was a luxury and only the rich could afford to eat it frequently. Nevertheless the Egyptians ate sheep, pigs, cows and goats but meat often came from ducks and geese. However fish were plentiful in Egypt. Egyptian food included many vegetables, such as marrows, beans, onions, lentils, leeks, radishes, garlic and lettuces. They also ate fruit like melons, dates and figs. Pomegranates were quite expensive and were eaten mainly by the rich."

I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the Kingdom of God.” ~ Luke 22:15-16Jesus was a Jew and Jews were required, under the Law of Moses, to celebrate the Passover every year, to remember the Exodus from Egypt. The Last Supper, when Jesus ate with His disciples, was a Passover meal. Many elements in the ritual of the Passover meal pointed to the sacrifice that would be made by the expected Messiah who would rescue Israel not from slavery in Egypt but from slavery to sin. Jesus was the Messiah of Israel, and Jesus is the Saviour of all who believe in Him. From the time of Moses, Jews have celebrated the Passover in the same way. The celebration is called a ‘seder’. It means ‘order’ in Hebrew. There is a set order of service that has varied little for more than 3,500 years."

They also ate bread, beans, onions, and green vegetables. The Egyptians enjoyed beef the most. They did not eat that much beef because it was very expensive, because cattle needed fields of grass to eat, and that took up precious land. People ate lots of fish because they were cheap. They also ate fruit. They also bought their food at the local market. WHO COOKED THE MEALS AND WHERE THEY COOKED THEIR MEALSWealthy Egyptians got their servants to cook the food and serve the meals.

"text": "\"Ancient Healthby Gary Webster 0 Comments18 Aug 2015 SHAREPhoto Credit: University College London In the 1840s, Vienna's Allegmeine Krakenhaus was one of the world’s foremost teaching hospitals. However, in its maternity wards, one in six women died in childbirth, a shocking mortality rate, but not dissimilar to any other in the western world. Reasons given by obstetricians included constipation, fear, delayed lactation and poisonous air. Upon death, autopsies were performed on these women by physicians, who immediately after the procedure, without washing their hands or using sterile gloves, performed pelvic examinations on the living in the maternity wards!Early in the 1840s, Ignaz Semmelweis took charge of one of the obstetrical wards. After three years of observation, he discovered that it was the women who were examined by doctors immediately after performing the autopsies, who died. He therefore ruled that all doctors participating in autopsies must thoroughly wash their hands before examining any patients in his ward. The death rate in his ward immediately plummeted. However, the prejudiced doctors did not like his “new” ideas. His contract was not renewed, his rule overturned and the mortality rate soared once again. Unknown to Semmelweis, his progressive ideas and procedures had been practiced thousands of years before!Ancient Egyptian Medicine In its time, medical knowledge and practice in ancient Egypt was likewise revolutionary, with Egypt’s physicians showing great initiative and an impressive knowledge of the human body, its organ function, system’s workings and the treatment of illness and disease."

Eisenhower, General of the Army and the 34th President of the United States, was not only a remarkable soldier, but also a pivotal technician in the art of leadership. Bringing to the presidency his stature as commanding general of the successful forces in Europe during World War II, Eisenhower obtained a truce in Korea and worked endlessly during his two terms to ease the tensions of the Cold War. Eisenhower's \"\" Modern Republicanism \"\" brought a sense of security and honor to an uncertain America. Early years Dwight David Eisenhower was born on October 14th, 1890, in a house by railroad tracks in Denison, Texas. His ancestors had emigrated from Germany to Pennsylvania early in the 18th century. After a short stay in Texas, the family moved to Abilene, Kansas. His father, David, worked as a mechanic in a local creamery. His mother, Ida, a Mennonite, was a pacifist."

Pach, Jr. The Campaign and Election of 1952: During an extraordinary military career, Dwight D. Eisenhower had done some things that few, if any, Americans had ever experienced. But he had not done something that was extremely common—he had never voted. Yet in 1948, many Americans hoped that the general would cast his first ballot—for himself as President. Even Harry S. Truman tried to interest Eisenhower in a run for the presidency. As the election year of 1948 approached, Truman, who became President when Franklin D. Roosevelt died in 1945, seemed to have little chance of winning a full term of his own. In a private meeting, Truman proposed that he and Eisenhower run together on the Democratic ticket, with Eisenhower as the presidential candidate and Truman in second position. Eisenhower rejected this astonishing offer and probably thought that he would never again have to consider the possibility of a run for the White House. He also spurned requests from prominent Republicans that he seek the GOP nomination for President. Truman won an upset victory in 1948, but during the Korean War, he became extremely unpopular. Truman's decision to fire General Douglas Mac Arthur as commander of United Nations forces was an important cause for public disapproval of the President."

Eisenhower The presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower began on January 20, 1953, when he was inaugurated as the 34th President of the United States, and ended on January 20, 1961. Eisenhower, a Republican, took office as president following a landslide win over Democrat Adlai Stevenson in the 1952 presidential election. This victory upended the New Deal Coalition that had kept the presidency in the hands of the Democratic Party for 20 years. Four years later, in the 1956 presidential election, he defeated Stevenson in a landslide again, winning a second term in office. He was succeeded in office by Democrat John F. Kennedy after the 1960 election. Eisenhower called for progressive conservativism. That implied that traditional American values included change and progress. Jean Smith says, \"\"He looked to the future, not the past, and his presidency provided a buffered transition from FDR's New Deal and the Fair Deal of Harry Truman into the modern era.\"\" [ 1] Eisenhower was able to secure several victories in Congress, even though Democrats held the majority in both the House and the Senate during all but the first two years of his presidency."

"text": "\"The secret story of Richard Nixon’s first scandal Long before Watergate, a secret fund almost ended his career — instead, the Checkers speech taught him everything Jeffrey Frank01.19.2013 • 7:00 AM • 19 Comments Excerpted from Ike and Dick: Portrait of a Strange Political Marriage Richard Nixon’s Checkers speech — delivered just five days after the New York Post reported wealthy backers had set up a fund for his day-to-day expenses — was seen by some 58 million people, or about a third of the population of the United States. It lasted thirty minutes and was to be forever identified by its reference to a cocker spaniel named Checkers. It was like nothing ever seen in American politics, set apart by its intimacy, its pathos, the apparent revelation of a private life from a public man, and its use of television. Its structure was a trial lawyer’s closing (or, perhaps, opening) argument, which ranged from the explanatory to the exculpatory to the defiant; buried within it was not only Nixon’s defense of himself, but occasional jabs at his opponents and probably at General Dwight Eisenhower, his running mate. It is still a remarkable document. The set was simple: Nixon sat behind a desk, his hands loosely clasped over his notes, and Pat Nixon was several feet away in a chair that seemed too large for her. Looking earnestly into the camera, Nixon said: My fellow Americans, I come before you tonight as a candidate for the Vice Presidency and as a man whose honesty and integrity have been questioned. Now, the usual political thing to do when charges are made against you is either to ignore them or deny them without giving details. I believe we’ve had enough of that in the United States, particularly with the present Administration ... I have a theory, too, that the best and only answer to a smear or to an honest misunderstanding of the facts is to tell the truth. And that’s why I’m here tonight."

' 193Claim: President Eisenhower once observed that “a few Texas oil millionaires” wanted to “abolish social security. ”TRUEExample: [Collected via e-mail, 2005]President Dwight Eisenhower, Republican, uttered these words on November 8, 1954:“Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes that you can do these things. Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid. ”In addition to being a war hero, a decent fellow, a moderate Republican before they began to go extinct, President Eisenhower apparently was also quite the prophet. Little George W. Bush was about 9 years old at the time …Origins: One favorite tactic in political debate is to put words in the mouth of a respected elder statesman to make it appear he presciently anticipated some modernissue or political personality (and, naturally, took a stand that supported the viewpoint of whoever put those words in his mouth). Therefore, given the debates that arose in over President George W. Bush’s efforts to alter the Social Security system, one would expect the appearance at that time of a fifty-year-old quote from a former President (and fellow Republican) labeling as “stupid” certain “Texas oil millionaires” who wanted “to abolish social security” to be a similar fabrication. Save for a few minor details, however, the quote from President Dwight D. Eisenhower cited at the head of this page is in fact an accurate one."

Barrett One of the paradoxes of legislative oversight of intelligence in the early Cold War period was that the United States Congress could give strong, if de facto, support of aggressive covert action while, with the exception of a few leaders, not really knowing which such policies were being carried out. Guatemala is a perfect example. Following its 1944 revolution, which brought democratically elected leftist governments to power, this Central American government faced an increasingly hostile neighbor to the north, the United States. Guatemala's treatment of US-based corporations, especially the United Fruit Company, in expropriating land and other assets, did nothing to improve relations. Elites in Guatemala helped persuade US journalists and members of Congress, not to mention the executive branch, that their government was veering further and further leftward toward Communism in the early 1950s. Late in the Truman presidency, the US government aborted an attempt to support Guatemalans who aimed to overthrow President Jacobo Arbenz. Those at CIA Headquarters who were involved in the effort felt \"\"grimly\"\" about that \"\"horrifying\"\" turn of events, one Agency leader noted in his diary. But, not surprisingly, new administration leaders--President Dwight Eisenhower, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, and DCI Allen Dulles--also persuaded themselves that the Guatemalan government was \"\"red.\"\" The CIA leader had help from the Board of National Estimates, which informed him on 22 April 1954 that \"\"The Communists now effectively control the political life of Guatemala.\"\" 1 A deal made by Arbenz's government to purchase Soviet-made armaments from Czechoslovakia that spring only sealed the matter in the American leaders' minds."

Despite his loss of the 1964 presidential election in a landslide, Goldwater is the politician most often credited with sparking the resurgence of the American conservative political movement in the 1960s. While he had supported other federal civil rights measures, Goldwater was a vocal opponent of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; he believed it to be an overreach by the federal government. He also had a substantial impact on the libertarian movement. [ 2] Goldwater rejected the legacy of the New Deal and fought with the conservative coalition against the New Deal coalition. A significant accomplishment in his career was the passage of the Goldwater–Nichols Act of 1986. In 1964, Goldwater mobilized a large conservative constituency to win the hard-fought Republican presidential primaries."

"text": "On January 17, 1961, President Dwight D. Eisenhower delivered a farewell address that has since become known for its prescient discussion of the encroaching impact of the “military-industrial complex.” Ike was the last commander-in-chief born in the 19th century, but his speech foretold of an era that would continue on into the 21st century. Eisenhower said in his nationally televised speech, “In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. ”Eisenhower Farewell Address (Full)Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available.

What did President Eisenhower talk about in his farewell speech? The focus was on understanding this changed character of American society that occurred in the early Cold War --from the end of World War II to the end of his administration-- that saw the expansion of expenditures on defense."

Eisenhower as the crowd at the 1952 Republican National Convention in Chicago cheers their nominations. At far left is Pat Nixon and at far right is Mamie Eisenhower. ONVENTION BUILDING, in Chicago, July 11 -- General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower won a hard-fought first-ballot nomination today as the Republican candidate for President and Senator Richard M. Nixon of California was chosen by acclamation as his running mate for the Vice Presidency. The former Supreme Allied Commander in Europe went before the 1,206 Republican delegates tonight to accept the nomination and pledge that he would lead \"\"a great crusade\"\" for \"\"total victory\"\" against a Democratic Administration he described as wasteful, arrogant and corrupt and too long in power. He said he would keep \"\"nothing in reserve\"\" in his drive to put a Republican in the White House for the first time since March 4, 1933. The Republican convention adjourned finally at 8:21 P. M., Central daylight time (9:21, New York time) after it had heard Senator Nixon accept the Vice-Presidential nomination. He pledged a \"\"fighting campaign\"\" to insure election not only of a Republican President, but also a House and Senate controlled by his party. Bitterly Divided Convention General Eisenhower won in a bitterly divided Republican convention. In the last week the general had taken leadership in the contest from Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio, the chief party spokesman in Congress, who was making his third unsuccessful bid for nomination to the office once held by his father, William Howard Taft. Victory came for General Eisenhower on the first ballot."

"text": "\"The Cold War Home Front: Mc Carthyism by Michael Barnes1. Definition Richard Nixon Joseph Mc Carthy Shortly after WWII a phenomenon known as Mc Carthyism began to emerge in American politics. Mc Carthyism was the practice of investigating and accusing persons in positions of power or influence of disloyalty, subversion (working secretly to undermine or overthrow the government), or treason. Reckless accusations that the government was full of communists were pursued by Republican-led committees with subpoena power and without proper regard for evidence. The two Republicans most closely associated with Mc Carthyism were the phenomenon's namesake, Senator Joseph Mc Carthy, and Senator Richard Nixon, who served as Vice President from 1953-1961,and then President from 1969-1974. Both men were driven by personal insecurities as much as by political gain. Government employees, the entertainment industry, educators, and union activists were the primary targets of Mc Carthyism. Their communist (or leftist) associations were often greatly exaggerated, and they were often dismissed from government jobs or imprisoned with inconclusive, questionable, and sometimes outright fabricated evidence. Most verdicts were later overturned, most dismissals later declared illegal, and some laws used to convict later declared unconstitutional. The most famous examples of Mc Carthyismare the investigation into the leftist influence of the motion picture industry by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), and investigations conducted by Senator Mc Carthy's Senate sub-committee, culminating in 1954 with hearings about subversion within the Army."

Presidents Richard Nixon Richard Nixon: Life Before the Presidency By Ken Hughes While courting common voters, Nixon made the most of his common origins; biographers, both sympathetic and critical, have tended to follow suit. He was born in one small California town (Yorba Linda) and grew up in another (East Whittier). His parents were in some ways opposites—Frank Nixon was as argumentative as Hannah Nixon was sweet-tempered. Richard Nixon suffered two great personal losses as a young man: the deaths of his younger brother Arthur after a short illness and his older brother Harold after a long one. His school life brought a string of successes in endeavors common to politicians in training. He won debates and elections and leading roles in school dramatic productions. His grades were excellent, at both Whittier College and Duke University's law school. His scholastic achievements were not enough, however, to get him the jobs he applied for with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and with several prestigious law firms. Nixon ended up in California, joining a Whittier law firm, the Whittier College board of trustees, and the Whittier Community Players. He fell romantically for a fellow cast member, Thelma Catherine \"\"Pat\"\" Ryan; they wed in 1940."

In the four weeks that made up the West Virginia primary in 1960, candidates, their families, friends and supporters logged hundreds of miles as they visited every corner of West Virginia in an effort to gather any and every vote. When the dust settled from the election West Virginia had changed the political landscape and altered conventional political wisdom. The general election in the fall became one of the closest presidential elections in United States history. On Election Day candidates and voters, alike, waited in anticipation until the wee hours of the following morning to see who was going to become the President of the United States. Eyeing the White House Presidential ambitions do not begin with the candidate standing before well-wishers announcing his or her candidacy. They begin months, years and even decades before that celebrated day. For presidential hopefuls, the election year of 1960 marked a golden opportunity to run for president. With the passage of the 22nd Amendment to the U. S. Constitution in 1951, Dwight Eisenhower became the first president of the United States to be limited by law to two four-year terms. Because of that change both parties would be fielding new candidates."

It is almost 30 years since he died - bloated, drug-befuddled, gun-mad - in the tacky opulence of Graceland, but not since Christ quit the tomb on the third day has any death seemed so provisional. His daughter Lisa Marie, nine at the time, spent the days before the funeral in the room with his body, willing him to reconsider. Resurrection, as it happened, was more or less immediate. Supermarket tabloids soon reported sightings of an undead Elvis, and imitators in spangled capes lip-synched to his records in Las Vegas. His body, like Christ's, was available for consumption by true believers: a rumour alleged that Presleyburgers had been made from his minced corpse and distributed like communion wafers to 'New York and West Coast rock aristocracy'. Less favoured acolytes made do with the fetishistic heirlooms they traded. Locks of his hair, dyed the blue-black of a raven's wing, still sell for thousands of dollars."

"text": "Opinion | Op-Ed Contributor How Did Elvis Get Turned Into a Racist? By PETER GURALNICK AUG. 11, 2007ONE of the songs Elvis Presley liked to perform in the ’70s was Joe South’s “Walk a Mile in My Shoes,” its message clearly spelled out in the title. Sometimes he would preface it with the 1951 Hank Williams recitation “Men With Broken Hearts,” which may well have been South’s original inspiration. “ You’ve never walked in that man’s shoes/Or saw things through his eyes/Or stood and watched with helpless hands/While the heart inside you dies.” For Elvis these two songs were as much about social justice as empathy and understanding: “Help your brother along the road,” the Hank Williams number concluded, “No matter where you start/For the God that made you made them, too/These men with broken hearts. ”In Elvis’s case, this simple lesson was not just a matter of paying lip service to an abstract principle. It was what he believed, it was what his music had stood for from the start: the breakdown of barriers, both musical and racial. This is not, unfortunately, how it is always perceived 30 years after his death, the anniversary of which is on Thursday. When the singer Mary J. Blige expressed her reservations about performing one of his signature songs, she only gave voice to a view common in the African-American community. “"

An employee of the cemetery, angry that he was fired, pried the cover off Groucho's niche and stole his urn.

"text": "\"Colonel Parker Managed Elvis’ Career, but Was He a Killer on the Lam? The man who brought The King to global fame kept his own past secret. But what exactly was Tom Parker hiding? Colonel Tom Parker—the title was awarded to him by Louisiana Governor Jimmie Davis in 1948 for political services rendered—claimed until 1982 to have been born in West Virginia. In fact he was a Dutchman, and the circumstances under which he left the Netherlands in 1929 remain a puzzle to this day. ( Photo: Wikicommons)By Mike Dashsmithsonian.com February 24, 2012The Colonel always was a mystery. But that was very much the way he liked it. It was, of course, a tough trick to pull off, because the Colonel’s name was Tom Parker, and Tom Parker managed Elvis Presley. Since Elvis was the biggest name in the entertainment industry, his manager could hardly help appearing in the spotlight, too. For the most part that was not a problem, because Parker had showman’s instincts and enjoyed publicity."

Amy Martinez | 9/28/2015At far left, Harry Barkett, president of Amalie Oil, and brother Rick, the company’s COO. The company got a big dose of visibility when it bought the naming rights to the Tampa Bay Lightning’s arena. In September 2014, a Tampa-based company called Amalie Oil concluded a deal with Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeff Vinik to put its name on the hockey team's arena. Financial details were not disclosed, but the move probably cost Amalie at least $20 million, based on the going rates for naming rights to an NHL arena — generally $2 million to $10 million a year, with terms that last a decade or longer. Amalie can afford it: Operating from a 20-acre facility at the Tampa port, the company blended and sold more than $200 million worth of motor oils and industrial lubricants last year. It ranks among FLORIDA TREND'S top 2 0 0 privately owned companies in the state. For all its heft, however, Amalie hasn't had much of a profile in Tampa — or anywhere else, for that matter.

"text": "\"Emmy Noether (1882-1935)Emmy Noether is one of the most significant female mathematicians in history. She was born in the Bavarian town of Erlangen. Erlangen at the time had one of Germany's three \"\"free\"\" Universities (i.e. independent of the churches), the other two being at Halle and Göttingen. The Erlangen University had been cast into the mathematical spotlight by one of its mathematicians named Felix Klein, who had given significant insights into the concept of a group in geometry, insights which became known as the \"\"Erlangen Program\"\". Emmy Noether's father, Max Noether, was a mathematician at Erlangen. He was a significant mathematician in his own right and became a Full Professor at that University. Women were not officially allowed to study at German Universities, or to hold normal teaching positions. Nevertheless Emmy became known while enrolled as an audit student and was able eventually (in 1907) to graduate with a Ph D summa cum laude at Erlangen under the supervision of Paul Gordan (whom David Hilbert had described as \"\"King of the Invariants\"\"). In 1915 she moved to Göttingen where she was given a licence to teach without being paid. Hilbert was in fact one of her colleagues there."

This, however, is not entirely true. Throughout history, there have been many women mathematicians who have contributed just as much as their male-counterparts. Even though their names might have been forgotten, their contributions to mathematics have not. One of these women mathematicians was German-born Emmy Noether. Emmy Noether was born in Erlangen, Germany on March 23, 1882. She was named Amalie, but always called \"\"Emmy\"\". She was the eldest of four children, but one of only two that survived childhood. Her brother, Fritz also made a career of mathematics. Her father was Max Noether, a noted mathematician of his time."

Gowan home page (page 1)home page (page 2)E-Book Note to Readers Concerning \"\"Entropy\"\": See: Spatial vs Temporal Entropy See also: The \"\"Tetrahedron Model\"\" vs the \"\"Standard Model\"\" of Physics: A Comparison Table of Contents: Abstract Introduction Gravity and Entropy Explicit vs Implicit Time Gravitation and Time Spatial vs Historic Entropy Domains Charge Invariance The 4th Dimension The Entropic Efficacy Ratio Between Spatial vs Temporal Entropy Drives\"\"Why\"\" Bound Energy Proton Decay and Gravity Proton Decay and Black Holes Summary Links and References Abstract The significance of proton decay is that it is the end-point of time and temporal entropy for matter, in much the same way we might say the black hole is the end-point of space and spatial entropy for light. Again we find that \"\"the extremes meet\"\": proton decay is probably commonplace inside black holes, while Hawking's \"\"quantum radiance\"\" returns bound energy to free energy and temporal entropy to spatial entropy. The notion that the ratio of force strengths relates the \"\"heat death\"\" and the \"\"information death\"\" of the Cosmos via proton decay suggests that if we knew one we would know the other; unfortunately, we know neither, and our force ratio is a pure number, without units. Nevertheless, I will use it to make a naive guess at the proton's lifetime. The lower experimental bound on proton decay is currently 10 (35) years. According to the hypothesis advanced here, that the proton lifetime reflects the force ratio, in 2.5 x 10 (41) seconds all protons will have decayed, which, curiously enough, yields an observational expectation (8 x 10 (33) years) not far off the current lower experimental bound. P. A. M. Dirac's observation that this force ratio is similar to the ratio of the size of an electron to the size of the universe gives us some hope regarding the appropriate assignment of standard metric units to this otherwise pure number. Introduction The electromagnetic constant \"\"c\"\" is the \"\"gauge\"\" (regulator) of the velocity of light, and of the metric, symmetric, and entropic relations between space, time, and light (free electromagnetic energy). \"\" c\"\" regulates the metric equivalence between space and time, such that one second of temporal duration is metrically equivalent to 300,000 km of spatial distance. \"\" c\"\" gauges the symmetric relation between space, time, and light by suppressing both the asymmetric time dimension and one dimension of space (in the direction of propagation), such that light's energy state is two-dimensional, \"\"non-local\"\", and its velocity is effectively infinite (since light has forever to go nowhere)."

"text": "Science The Mighty Mathematician You’ve Never Heard Of Basics By NATALIE ANGIER MARCH 26, 2012Scientists are a famously anonymous lot, but few can match in the depths of her perverse and unmerited obscurity the 20th-century mathematical genius Amalie Noether. Albert Einstein called her the most “significant” and “creative” female mathematician of all time, and others of her contemporaries were inclined to drop the modification by sex. She invented a theorem that united with magisterial concision two conceptual pillars of physics: symmetry in nature and the universal laws of conservation. Some consider Noether’s theorem, as it is now called, as important as Einstein’s theory of relativity; it undergirds much of today’s vanguard research in physics, including the hunt for the almighty Higgs boson. Yet Noether herself remains utterly unknown, not only to the general public, but to many members of the scientific community as well. When Dave Goldberg, a physicist at Drexel University who has written about her work, recently took a little “Noether poll” of several dozen colleagues, students and online followers, he was taken aback by the results. “ Surprisingly few could say exactly who she was or why she was important,” he said. “ A few others knew her name but couldn’t recall what she’d done, and the majority had never heard of her. ”Noether (pronounced NER-ter) was born in Erlangen, Germany, 130 years ago this month. So it’s a fine time to counter the chronic neglect and celebrate the life and work of a brilliant theorist whose unshakable number love and irrationally robust sense of humor helped her overcome severe handicaps — first, being female in Germany at a time when most German universities didn’t accept female students or hire female professors, and then being a Jewish pacifist in the midst of the Nazis’ rise to power."

Her father was also a mathematician, Max Noether, and he sparked her interest for math later on in her life. As Emmy grew up, she studied a lot of different subjects, but she did not put a lot of emphasis on math until later. Noether’s Educational Years Noether spent a lot of time studying different languages, and she learned a lot from her mother about cooking and cleaning. Once Emmy graduated high school, she wanted to be a teacher, which led to her taking an exam to become a teacher of English and French to young women. She passed this test easily, but this led her down a difficult road ahead. She could not take classes her like her brother could because she was a woman, so she ended up auditing classes at the University of Erlangen instead. During her time auditing classes, Noether learned about mathematics in depth. After this, she took a test to become a doctoral student in mathematics."

Barbara Boxer announced her retirement this week, leaving California with an open Senate seat in 2016 – the first time in more than two decades. Not surprisingly, rumors are already starting to circulate about Golden State political figures who are likely to make a run for it: Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, California Attorney General Kamala Harris, former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and billionaire environmentalist Tom Steyer to name just a few. But in a state that's home to both Hollywood and Silicon Valley, there are at least a few other famous Californians who might be interested in filling Boxer’s seat: China Foto Press/Getty Images1. George Clooney He’s one of Hollywood’s leading men, but it politics runs in his blood. Clooney’s father ran for Congress in 2004 and he’s distantly related to Abraham Lincoln. Clooney is also a noted Obama-friend and Democrat. According to the actor’s aunt, Clooney plans to enter politics with the help of his new wife, lawyer Amal Alamuddin. “ George will run for office now, especially after his marriage to Amal, as that will open so many doors for him,” Starla Clooney recently told the Daily Mail. Whether that office is Boxer's Senate seat, California's governorship or a higher office remains to be seen."

There are various theories, but in my view none of them as yet produce an answer that does not have more assumptions in getting to it. For example, suppose you say, the charge is an excitation of a field, then unless you can define where and why there is a field, and why does it excite, and why does it excite in specific ways, you have far more assumptions than the simple one that nature has given us quantised charge. Mathematical transformations under gauge symmetry does not explain why there is charge; it merely describes its properties, and as yet, that is the best we can do. My view is that as yet charge is a given. Live with it. That view will be unpopular in some quarters, but unless you use fewer assumptions than the properties you are explaining, in my view you are not really explaining anything.1.6k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private.

"text": "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search In mathematics and theoretical physics, an invariant is a property of a system which remains unchanged under some transformation. Contents [ hide ]1 Examples2 Importance3 See also4 References Examples [ edit]See also: Lorentz scalar In the current era, the immobility of Polaris (the North Star) under the diurnal motion of the celestial sphere is a classical illustration of physical invariance. For example the rule describing Newton's force of gravity between two chunks of matter is the same whether they are in this galaxy or another ( translational invariance in space). It is also the same today as it was a million years ago (translational invariance in time). The law does not work differently depending on whether one chunk is east or north of the other one ( rotational invariance ). Nor does the law have to be changed depending on whether you measure the force between the two chunks in a railroad station, or do the same experiment with the two chunks on a uniformly moving train ( principle of relativity ).— David Mermin: It's About Time - Understanding Einstein's Relativity, Chapter 1Another example of a physical invariant is the speed of light under a Lorentz transformation [1] and time under a Galilean transformation. Such spacetime transformations represent shifts between the reference frames of different observers, and so by Noether's theorem invariance under a transformation represents a fundamental conservation law. For example, invariance under translation leads to conservation of momentum, and invariance in time leads to conservation of energy. Quantities can be invariant under some common transformations but not under others."

Historians with an interest in gender and science have illuminated the scientific endeavors and accomplishments of women, the barriers they have faced, and the strategies implemented to have their work peer-reviewed and accepted in major scientific journals and other publications. The historical, critical and sociological study of these issues has become an academic discipline in its own right. The involvement of women in the field of medicine occurred in several early civilizations, and the study of natural philosophy in ancient Greece was open to women. Women contributed to the proto-science of alchemy in the first or second centuries AD. During the Middle Ages, convents were an important place of education for women, and some of these communities provided opportunities for women to contribute to scholarly research. While the eleventh century saw the emergence of the first universities, women were, for the most part, excluded from university education. [ 1] The attitude to educating women in medical fields in Italy appears to have been more liberal than in other places. The first known woman to earn a university chair in a scientific field of studies, was eighteenth-century Italian scientist, Laura Bassi. Although gender roles were largely defined in the eighteenth century, women experienced great advances in science."

For other uses, see Noether's theorem (disambiguation). First page of Emmy Noether 's article \"\"Invariante Variationsprobleme\"\" (1918), where she proved her theorem. Noether's ( first) [1] theorem states that every differentiable symmetry of the action of a physical system has a corresponding conservation law. The theorem was proven by mathematician Emmy Noether in 1915 and published in 1918. [ 2], although a special case was proven by E. Cosserat & F. Cosserat in 1909. [ 3] The action of a physical system is the integral over time of a Lagrangian function (which may or may not be an integral over space of a Lagrangian density function ), from which the system's behavior can be determined by the principle of least action. Noether's theorem is used in theoretical physics and the calculus of variations. A generalization of the formulations on constants of motion in Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics (developed in 1788 and 1833, respectively), it does not apply to systems that cannot be modeled with a Lagrangian alone (e.g. systems with a Rayleigh dissipation function ). In particular, dissipative systems with continuous symmetries need not have a corresponding conservation law."

ORGPosted on March 12, 2016In a bold and self-promoting publicity stunt, the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society has announced on its public website that Jehovah’s Witnesses have just been awarded two “Telly Awards” statuettes at the 36th Annual Telly Awards. As impressive as this sounds, JW Survey has uncovered details revealing that these statuettes are in fact purchased by the Watchtower organization from a marketing company which deceptively promotes itself as a well-recognized awards competition. Both registration and awards are paid for in a sketchy scheme designed to mimic legitimate, notable awards such as the Oscars and the Emmys. The phrase “the 36th Annual Telly Awards” is designed to imitate reputable televised awards ceremonies which are recognized around the globe. The Telly awards are neither televised nor widely respected, and their certificates and statues amount to a clever way to sell membership and merchandise. Furthermore, the Watchtower issued a carbon copy statement on its website acquired directly from Telly marketing materials, along with a fake quote from Telly executive director Linda Dey. The same quote is issued to every Telly “winner. ”JW. ORG Announces Victory at the 2015 Telly Awards The Watchtower and Awards The practice of using donated funds from Jehovah’s Witnesses to purchase a very high probability of “winning” an award is not new for the Watchtower organization."

[ 1] [2] While the Nazi party decreed that \"\"women could be admitted to neither the Party executive nor to the Administrative Committee\"\", [2] this did not prevent numerous women from becoming party members. The Nazi doctrine elevated the role of German men, emphasizing their combat skills and the brotherhood among male compatriots. [ 3]Women lived within a regime characterized by a policy of confining them to the roles of mother and spouse and excluding them from all positions of responsibility, notably in the political and academic spheres. The policies of Nazism contrasted starkly with the evolution of emancipation under the Weimar Republic, and is equally distinguishable from the patriarchal and conservative attitude under the German Empire. The regimentation of women at the heart of satellite organizations of the Nazi Party, as the Bund Deutscher Mädel or the NS-Frauenschaft, had the ultimate goal of encouraging the cohesion of the \"\"people's community\"\" Volksgemeinschaft. First and foremost in the implied Nazi doctrine concerning women was the notion of motherhood and procreation for those of child-bearing ages. [ 4] The Nazi model woman did not have a career, but was responsible for the education of her children and for housekeeping. Women only had a limited right to training revolving around domestic tasks, and were, over time, restricted from teaching in universities, from medical professions and from serving in political positions within the NSDAP. [ 5] Many restrictions were lifted once wartime necessity dictated changes to policy later in the regime's existence."
