He was born into the hands of his physician father. He was the second of six children of Dr. Clarence Hemingway and Grace Hemingway (the daughter of English immigrants). His father's interests in history and literature, as well as his outdoorsy hobbies (fishing and hunting), became a lifestyle for Ernest. His mother was a domineering type who wanted a daughter, not a son, and dressed Ernest as a girl and called him Ernestine. She also had a habit of abusing his quiet father, who suffered from diabetes, and Dr. Hemingway eventually committed suicide. Ernest later described the community in his hometown as one having \"\"wide lawns and narrow minds\"\". In 1916 Hemingway graduated from high school and began his writing career as a reporter for The Kansas City Star. There he adopted his minimalist style by following the Star's style guide: \"\"Use short sentences. Use short first paragraphs."

"text": "\"Section Navigation Home Study Guides Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway \"\"Fathers and Sons\"\" Summary and Analysis Short Stories of Ernest Hemingwayby Ernest Hemingway Buy Study Guide Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway Summary and Analysis of \"\"Fathers and Sons\"\"The narrator, 38-year-old Nick Adams, is driving through a small town with his son and admiring the fall scenery. It is farming and timber country, and Nick speculates where he would find coveys of quail in the thickets. Thinking about quail hunting reminds him of his father, who taught him to hunt and who has recently died. Nick remembers the most striking thing about his father were his deep-set eyes and extremely keen eyesight. He remembers standing with his father on the shore of a lake, and how his father would be able to see things on the opposite shore that he could not. Nick then begins to describe his father, a nervous, sentimental, cruel, and abused man who died in a trap and was betrayed by everyone he knew. Nick reflects he can’t write about his father yet because too many people are alive who knew him, but he says that his father’s would be a good story to tell, and that he might be able to get his father out of his system if he wrote about him. Nick is grateful to his father for teaching him about two things: fishing and shooting. Nick still harbors a passion for those two activities that he inherited from his father at an early age. Nick says that his father was thoroughly unsound on sex, however, and recounts the older man’s advice on the subject by way of illustration."

"text": "Tweet Hemingway’s Death and Hemochromatosis Awarenessby Stephen Cobb on January 10, 2016 [This is a refresh of an article originally written in 2011. We wanted to update some of the information about genetic testing. ] Ernest Hemingway, one of America’s greatest writers, died from hereditary hemochromatosis on July 2, 1961. He was one of many Hemingways who succumbed to America’s most prevalent genetic killer, a condition that is treatable if detected early. Yes, you were probably taught that Hemingway died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, but hereditary hemochromatosis–also known as HH, iron overload, bronze diabetes and Celtic Curse–was undoubtedly the underlying cause of his death. Depression and suicide are closely associated with hemochromatosis, as is the diabetes that afflicted Hemingway, along with his liver problems and high blood pressure. Tragically, like many people who suffer from hemochromatosis, Hemingway did not know he had the condition until close to his death, too late for treatment to reverse the damage to his health caused by toxic iron accumulation. Indeed, the world did not know of his diagnosis until 1991 when his medical records were discovered (see: Hemingway: the Postwar Years and the Posthumous Novels, by Rose Marie Burwell, 1996, New York: Cambridge UP). Doctors made the diagnosis in January, 1961, six months before his death in July. Quite by coincidence, July is Hemochromatosis Awareness Month in America, a time to raise awareness of what we now know is the most common genetic killer in America. ("

However, a thorough biopsychosocial approach capable of integrating the various threads of the author's complex psychiatric picture has yet to be applied. Application of such a psychiatric view to the case of Ernest Hemingway in an effort toward better understanding of the author's experience with illness and the tragic outcome is the aim of this investigation. Thus, Hemingway's life is examined through a review and discussion of biographies, psychiatric literature, personal correspondence, photography, and medical records. Significant evidence exists to support the diagnoses of bipolar disorder, alcohol dependence, traumatic brain injury, and probable borderline and narcissistic personality traits. Late in life, Hemingway also developed symptoms of psychosis likely related to his underlying affective illness and superimposed alcoholism and traumatic brain injury. Hemingway utilized a variety of defense mechanisms, including self-medication with alcohol, a lifestyle of aggressive, risk-taking sportsmanship, and writing, in order to cope with the suffering caused by the complex comorbidity of his interrelated psychiatric disorders. Ultimately, Hemingway's defense mechanisms failed, overwhelmed by the burden of his complex comorbid illness, resulting in his suicide. However, despite suffering from multiple psychiatric disorders, Hemingway was able to live a vibrant life until the age of 61 and within that time contribute immortal works of fiction to the literary canon.

"text": "Profiles May 13, 1950 Issue How Do You Like It Now, Gentlemen? By Lillian Ross Illustration by Reginald Marsh Ernest Hemingway, who may well be the greatest living American novelist and short-story writer, rarely comes to New York. He spends most of his time on a farm, the Finca Vigia, nine miles outside Havana, with his wife, a domestic staff of nine, fifty-two cats, sixteen dogs, a couple of hundred pigeons, and three cows. When he does come to New York, it is only because he has to pass through it on his way somewhere else. Not long ago, on his way to Europe, he stopped in New York for a few days. I had written to him asking if I might see him when he came to town, and he had sent me a typewritten letter saying that would be fine and suggesting that I meet his plane at the airport. “ I don’t want to see anybody I don’t like, nor have publicity, nor be tied up all the time,” he went on. “ Want to go to the Bronx Zoo, Metropolitan Museum, Museum of Modern Art, ditto of Natural History, and see a fight. Want to see the good Breughel at the Met, the one, no two, fine Goyas and Mr. El Greco’s Toledo. Don’t want to go to Toots Shor’s."

If you fancy wandering down to take a look, the house can be found at 907 Whitehead Street, near the famous Key West lighthouse close to the Southern coast of the island. You can see from the map below, where the green arrow points to the exact location of the Ernest Hemingway Key West House, that it is a about midway across the island. Although we can do better than that, and tell you exact walking times. With the Gulf of Mexico on one side, and the Atlantic on the other you will be walking about 7 minutes from the Southernmost point marker, (that iconic multi-coloured buoy that the tourists love), and from Mallory Square home of the Sunset Celebration it will take about 14 minutes. So not too far at all, but then again sometimes it can be a bit hot as you stroll along, so an air-conditioned taxi might do just the trick.

Hemingway produced most of his work between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s, and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954.

"text": "Chris | August 11, 2009A Man's Life, Lessons In Manliness The Hemingway You Didn’t Know: Papa’s Adventures“Never confuse movement with action. ”-Ernest Hemingway Nearly fifty years after his death, Ernest Hemingway remains a commanding presence in the literary world. His works annually sell well into the seven figures, and several of his astounding 27 books and 50+ short stories are considered to be masterpieces of American literature. Even the finest works of fiction pale in comparison, however, to Papa Hemingway’s real life. His exploits are legendary: winner of both the Pulitzer and Nobel Prizes, Bronze Star recipient, world class sports fisherman, big game hunter, boxer, bullfighting aficionado, war correspondent…the list goes on. Leaving the criticism of his literature for the pros, let’s instead take a look at the amazing life of the man himself. It should be noted that Hemingway was at times neither a gentleman, a good father, nor a proper example of manhood, and no effort will be made here to rewrite history. Yet for all his flaws he represents an enigma of masculinity that so easily captures the imagination. His life was filled with the grand adventures that fill the dreams of many young boys and grown men alike. Hemingway the Sportsman As an accomplished outdoorsman, Hemingway was equally at home both stalking a lion through Africa’s long grass and cruising the Gulf Stream in search of marlin and tuna."

"text": "The Macomber Affair (1947), Ernie and the Movies Posted by Moira Finnie on March 3, 2010*Spoilers Abound Below*Ernest Hemingway may have loathed most of the translations of his own stories to film, and sometimes with good reason. Happy endings were tacked on to many of his stories. In The Snows of Kilimanjaro (1952) a conflicted hero lived, despite a touch of systemic septicemia, a gangrenous leg, and a heckuva death wish. ( The author fumed and called it ‘The Snows of Zanuck’ in private ). Political realities were sometimes lost. For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943) does not seem to have a commie in sight and only one mention of a fascist is made, at least by name. Evocative situations were embellished. The Killers (1946) left Hemingway’s terse masterpiece behind after the first superb fifteen minutes, but the author expressed some liking for that one despite this amplification, (his acceptance of the film may have been partly due to the presence of Ava Gardner and the likability of the producer, Mark Hellinger). “ A fat actor”–in Hemingway’s words–played one of his best characters when an aging Spencer Tracy took the lead in The Old Man and the Sea (1958) a novella that led to the awarding of the Nobel Prize in Literature to the writer in 1954. Other, lesser known adaptations of Hemingway stories fared a bit better, with glimmers of the writer’s elusive style in A Farewell to Arms (1932), and The Breaking Point (1950)."

HEMINGWAY'S PARIS ~ Part 2The Lost Generation The Left Bank References to the Left Bank have never lost their power to evoke the most piquant images of Paris. The Left Bank's geographic and cerebral hub is the Latin Quarter, which takes its name from the university tradition of studying and speaking in Latin, a practice that disappeared at the time of the French Revolution. The area is populated mainly by students and academics from the Sorbonne, the headquarters of the University of Paris. Most of the St-Germain cafés, where the likes of Sartre, Picasso and Hemingway spent their days and nights, are patronized largely by tourists now. Yet the Left Bank is far from dead. It is a lively and colorful district, rich in history and character. To the south, dwarfed beneath its 59-story Tower, lies Montparnasse, the bohemian center of interwar Paris. During the 17th century, students from the Latin Quarter had jokingly given this area the pompous name of Mont Parnasse (Mount Parnassus). It developed during the 18th century into a center for popular entertainment, as bars, restaurants and cabarets -- which were at that time just outside the city boundaries -- could serve tax-free wine."

"text": "\"July 3, 1961Hemingway's Prize-Winning Works Reflected Preoccupation With Life and Deathrnest Hemingway achieved world-wide fame and influence as a writer by a combination of great emotional power and a highly individual style that could be parodied but never successfully imitated. His lean and sinewy prose; his mastery of a kind of laconic, understated dialogue; his insistent use of repetition, often of a single word, or name--built up and transmitted an inner excitement to thousands of his readers. In his best work, the effect was accumulative; it was as if the creative voltage increased as the pages turned. Not all readers agreed on Mr. Hemingway; and his \"\"best\"\" single work will be the subject of literary debate for generations. But possibly \"\"The Old Man and the Sea,\"\" published in 1952, had the essence of the uncluttered force that drove his other stories. In it, character stands hard and clear, indomitable in failure. Man--an ordinary although an unusual man- -is a victim of, and yet rises above, the elemental harshness of nature. Won the Nobel Prize The short novel won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953; it unquestionably moved the judges who awarded Mr. Hemingway the Nobel Prize for Literature the following year. And it was an occasion for relief and joy among those devotees of the novelist to whom \"\"Across the River and Into the Trees,\"\" in 1950, had marked a low point in his career. A great deal of Mr. Hemingway's work showed a preoccupation--frequently called obsession--with violence and death."

He took it to the front of the house and, in the foyer, put the twin barrels against his forehead, reached down, pushed his thumb against the trigger and blew his brains out. His death was timed at 7am. Witnesses who saw the body remarked that he had chosen from his wardrobe a favourite dressing gown that he called his \"\"emperor's robe\"\". They might have been reminded of the words of Shakespeare's Cleopatra, just before she applied the asp to her flesh: \"\"Give me my robe. Put on my crown; I have immortal longings in me\"\". His widow Mary told the media that it was an unfortunate accident, that Ernest had been cleaning one of his guns when it accidentally went off. The story was splashed on the front page of all American newspapers. It took Mary Welsh Hemingway several months to admit that her husband's death was suicide; and it's taken nearly 50 years to piece together the reasons why this giant personality, this rumbustious man of action, this bullfighter, deep-sea fisherman, great white hunter, war hero, gunslinger and four-times-married, all-round tough guy, whom every red-blooded American male hero-worshipped, should do himself in."

It takes a lot of courage to write a memoir: to reveal personal aspects about one's private life. In this lesson, we will take a look at what makes a story a memoir and examine a few of the most popular memoirs of the 20th and 21st centuries. Definition Memoirs are factual stories about someone's life. ' Memoir' is from the French word mémoire, which means 'reminiscence' or 'memory.' They are a part of the nonfiction literary genre and are usually told in the first person. We might expect the information the author provides in a memoir to be factual, but that doesn't mean the memoirist won't occasionally embellish the truth to tell a more interesting story. Memoirs vs. Autobiographies Memoirs are typically classified as a subgenre of the autobiography. The main difference is that a memoir is more focused. An autobiography typically spans a person's entire life and contains intricate details like the writer's family history and childhood."

The Swedish Academy, which presents this laurel, said of the 55- year-old American author in its citation:\"\"For his powerful, style-forming mastery of the art of modern narration, as most recently evinced in 'The Old Man and the Sea.

The fact that Mr. Laxness had received the Stalin Prize for Literature might have swung the vote for Mr. Hemingway. Others who were considered included Paul Claudel and Albert Camus of France and Ezra Pound, American poet, whom the Academy regards as one of the world's distinctive lyricists. [\"\" I am very pleased and very proud to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature,\"\" Mr. Hemingway said at his home near Havana. The author disclosed that he would not be able to go to Stokholm Dec. 10 to receive the award because of injuries he suffered in two plane crashes in Africa last winter. ] The Academy seriously discussed Mr. Hemingway for the prize last year, but postponed giving him the honor in favor of Prime Minister Churchill, whose advanced age was considered a factor in the choice. Several Academy members expressed regret over this postponement when it was thought Mr. Hemingway and his wife perished last Jan. 23 in an air crash in the African jungle."

All others are just games. ”That quote attributed to the great American author Ernest Hemingway is one I have used often to understand the need for risk-taking. Hemingway’s point, I think, is that when you lay your life and health on the line, an experience becomes more meaningful. Land in a sand trap on a golf course, you add a few strokes to your game. Double-fault in tennis, and you lose a point. But if you screw up on a mountain or in a race-car or bull-ring, the consequences can be dire.

Portuguese explorers began voyages south along the Atlantic coast of Africa. The Portuguese were looking for a route to Asia, but as they moved south they began setting up trading posts. First the Portuguese established trading posts along the coast of West Africa, but gradually moved further south along the coast. Other European maritime powers followed suit. This was the beginning of the African slave trade."

Previously, Europeans has been aware of and had participated to varying degrees with West African peoples through the trans-Saharan trade. Throughout the latter part of the fifteenth century the Spanish, Dutch, British and French all began to establish their presence in the West African context. The timing of these early contacts is linked closely to the growth of maritime capabilities, increasing interest in trade activity with Africa and the Far East, religious expansion and the Age of Exploration. Africa, and West Africa in particular, came to represent important possibilities for the expansionist policies of the European powers over the next five centuries. The early contacts made by Europeans, primarily the Portuguese, in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries were largely focused on the coastal areas of West Africa and were primarily trade related although missionary work and exploration did also occur. The Europeans traded in slaves, sugar, pepper, ivory, wax, and gold during this period. The trade in gold was a major factor in the expansion of European interest in West Africa. Gold from West Africa, Ghana in particular, represented 1/10th of the world's gold reserve in the early part of the sixteenth century (Boahen, 1986). Europe's growing dependence on gold and the associated growth of merchant capitalism reinforced Europe's links to West Africa."

While most of the world had been under European control for quite some time Africa held out until the final decades of the 19th century, when it was carved up and parceled out to the main European powers in the Berlin Conference. But even after Africa had been divvied up, in reality the majority of the continent remained largely unexplored. It was not exploited until later when various factors collided enabling Europeans to begin a systematic exploitation of Africa’s vast resources. The fact that Africa was last to be colonized also meant that it was the last to gain independence as European imperialists wanted to hang on to their African colonies long enough to get a return on the investments they had put into their various economic ventures. Most of the countries in Africa have undergone decolonization in the latter half of the 20th century. This explains in part why there are so many conflicts going on in Africa today. It is not an easy task to form an independent nation. Every country has a difficult time in its formative years."

E.), sometimes called the post-classical period, we explored the rise of new civilizations in both hemispheres, the spread of major religions that created cultural areas for analysis, and an expansion of long-distance trade to include European and African kingdoms. However, no sustained contact occurred between the eastern and western hemisphere. During the time period between 1450 and 1750 C. E., the two hemispheres were linked and for the first time in world history, long-distance trade became truly worldwide. QUESTIONS OF PERIODIZATIONThis era includes only 300 years, but some profound and long-lasting changes occurred. Characteristics of the time between 1450 and 1750 include:1) The globe was encompassed - For the first time, the western hemisphere came into continued contact with the eastern hemisphere. Technological innovations, strengthened political organization, and economic prosperity all contributed to this change that completely altered world trade patterns.2) Sea-based trade rose in proportion to land-based trade - Technological advancements and willingness of political leaders to invest in it meant that sea-based trade became much more important. As a result, old land-based empires lost relative power to the new sea-based powers.3) European kingdoms emerged that gained world power - The relative power and prosperity of Europe increased dramatically during this time in comparison to empires in the longer-established civilization areas. However, Europe did not entirely eclipse powerful empires in Southwest Asia, Africa, and East Asia.4) The relative power of nomadic groups declined - Nomads continued to play an important role in trade and cultural diffusion, and they continued to threaten the borders of the large land-based empires. However, their power dwindled as travel and trade by water became more important.5) Labor systems were transformed - The acquisition of colonies in North and South America led to major changes in labor systems. After many Amerindians died from disease transmitted by contact with Europeans, a vigorous slave trade from Africa began and continued throughout most of the era."

"text": "ANTICOLONIAL MOVEMENTS, AFRICAAnticolonial movements in Africa were responses to European imperialism on the continent in the late nineteenth century and the greater part of the twentieth century. African responses to colonial rule varied from place to place and over time. Several forms of both armed and nonviolent resistance to colonialism occurred. Nonviolent forms of anticolonialism included the use of the indigenous press, trade unionism, organized religion, associations, literary and art forms, and mass migrations. Various African states used one or several of these nonviolent forms of anticolonialism at one time or another, but what is significant is that most of them resorted to armed resistance or cataclysmic actions to safeguard their way of life and sovereignty. African resistance to colonial rule may be divided into four phases. The first was African responses to the colonial conquest itself. This occurred from about 1880 to 1910. The second phase spanned 1914 to 1939, the period of the consolidation of colonial rule. The third phase ran from the end of World War II (1939-1945) to the attainment of independence between the early 1950s and the 1980s."

Objectives: Students should be able to:locate the Arabian peninsula on a map and identify surrounding bodies of land and water, fertile regions, trade routes and major cities.explain the importance of the Arabian peninsula in terms of its location between major trade routes of the Mediterranean, the Indian Ocean and the western end of the Silk Road.describe the role of the Makkans in trans-Arabian trade and list several goods that Quraysh caravans transported and sold.explain the rise and spread of Islam and major characteristics of Muslim civilization.identify the basic beliefs and practices of Islam, including the Five Pillars and explain their relationship to Muslim life, culture and civilization. Procedure: Have students study the map ( Handout 1:2b) and, using an atlas if needed, name waterways, landmasses, fertile regions and trade routes; preview places mentioned in the film, including lands such as Arabia, Yemen, Syria, and cities such as Damascus, Jerusalem, Makkah, and Madinah; the geographic features and cities on the outline map provided. ( Handout 1:2c)Assign students to read the brief background ( Handout 1:2a) of the Arabian Peninsula and answer the questions individually or as a group. The reading provides evidence that the Arabian Peninsula was not an isolated place; it was involved in hemispheric cultural and economic interactions well before the rise of Islam in the region. The geographic features of the peninsula--especially the desert areas--were intimidating, which isolated the region from the surrounding areas, but also protected it from invasion. ADAPTATION: For lower level students, use the handout only up to the point before the verse Quraysh, and use only the first four questions. This can be done by folding the third page onto the lower half of the second page for photocopying. This activity can be used if the class is not already studying an introduction to Islam, or it may be useful as a substitute for a longer chapter. Assign Handout 1:2c, \"\"Overview of the History and Teachings of Islam,\"\" and study questions."

Several years after Cabral, the Portuguese began colonizing the area. They found great profit by exporting lumber, specifically the brazilwood tree. This was a tropical tree that produces a bright red dye that became very popular. It was also a strong, sturdy wood that was used to make furniture and in ship-building. The name “Brazil” began to be popular in 1503, and was associated with this brazilwood tree. 1Biography Early Life Pedro Álvares Cabral was born in Belmonte, Portugal in either 1467 or 1468. Although little is known of his early life, we know that he was the second son and came from a noble family. 2 His family was in service to the crown, so young Pedro received his education at the royal court."

Major powers such as Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britian, and Italy, were begining to realize there were valuable resources in Africa, and so the race to imperialize started.. Why did Italy begin its policy of Imperialism? Italy began its policy of imperialism for a few reasons. Tension from the threat of war throughout Europe over Africa was growing stronger. This initially kicked off the need to take advantage of Africans untouched riches, and resources such as people, gold, copper, rubber, and ivory. Another was the fact that other nations such as Spain, France, Portugal, Britain, and the Netherlands had been developing and expanding their empires for hundreds of years before. One of the only unclaimed places available to Italy to imperialize was Africa. 1861 marked Italy as a newly unified country, not long after, about 1879, Italy wanted to colonize Tunisia, to start the creation of a strong overseas allie. Since Italians had been living there previously it was a logical choice to begin the race for their share of Africa there. This made it an easy decision for Italian leaders to begin their policy of imperialism with Tunisia considering these factors."

Cicero noted in about 54 BC that the 'British' enslaved by Julius Caesar 'were too ignorant to fetch fancy prices in the market'. The enslavement of the people of this outpost of the Roman Empire continued for hundreds of years as we know that Pope Gregory spoke with some British slaves in the slave market in Rome in the seventh century AD. ( 1) Domestic slavery – usually called 'serfdom' – also existed in Britain: serfs were bought and sold with the estate on which they had to work for a fixed number of days a year without payment; they could only marry with their lord's consent, could not leave the estate and had few legal rights. However, as they could not be easily replaced, they were not as physically abused as enslaved Africans a few centuries later. The institution of serfdom was not abolished in Britain until 1381. ( 2)Britons were also enslaved by the Barbary pirates. The cross-Mediterranean trade was subject to piracy and privateering (piracy licensed by ruling monarchs) by many of the coastal seafarers. Some of the British enslaved by the north Africans (the 'Barbary' coast) were used as galley slaves; others fulfilled the usual tasks allotted to slaves; those who converted to Islam had an easier time. The men seized by the British from Barbary vessels were either sold as slaves or executed as pirates. ("

While your question was about Vasco da Gama and Christopher Columbus, it is important to also understand the events happening around the world which made sailors to explore. Also the reason why kingdoms were ready to spend money for sailors to explore. India and China were the largest economies until 1900's. Silk route trade network was the key those days for European kingdoms to have access to the riches like silk, spices, gem stones, chinaware, from India, china, and north east Africa. The trade route for Europeans was through the Mediterranean Sea and through land through Middle East to Asia. Or on land up to eastern Europe , through turkey to middle east and to Asia.

Slavery was one of their favourite methods of weakening a territory before invasion- and this tactic was widely used in Europe and Asia. In Asia it backfired badly when they used it against the Mongols- and the Mongols reacted by burning Baghdad to the ground The weakening was two-fold. On one side it meant the physical extermination of attacked populations, on the other side it strenghtened the invader- since the young boys were brainwashed and later raised to become fanatic muslim slave soldiers.

Earlier on several kingdoms inhibited the area, each with their own history, which are only briefly mentioned on this page. Similar to most of Africa, the history of pre-colonial Ghana is not known in complete details. This is due to years of neglect from colonisers and western historians, but also has to do with the nature of traditional African storytelling, which is oral (not written). Furthermore there has only been a limited amount of archaeological finds. With timelines like this one, it is necessary to choose key events. Some important events might have been left out, mainly because I haven't yet had the time and sources to get an overview of the many different kingdoms in pre-colonial Ghana and their complex history.

On average, African Americans are of 78 percent West African, 19 percent European and 3 percent Native American heritage, with large variation between individuals. Immigrants from some African, Caribbean, Central American, and South American nations and their descendants may or may not also self-identify with the term. According to a Y-DNA, the majority (~60%) of African Americans belong to various subclades of the E3a (E1b1a) paternal haplogroup. This is the most common genetic paternal lineage found today among West/Central African males, and is also a signature of the historical Bantu migrations. According to an mt DNA study, the maternal lineages of African Americans are most similar to haplogroups that are today especially common in West Africa (>55%), followed closely by West-Central Africa and Southwestern Africa (<41%). The characteristic West African haplogroups L1b, L2b,c,d, and L3b,d and West-Central African haplogroups L1c and L3e in particular occur at high frequencies among African Americans. As with the paternal DNA of African Americans, contributions from other parts of the continent to their maternal gene pool are insignificant. According to a genome-wide study, the overall ancestry of African Americans was formed through historic admixture between West/Central Africans (more frequently females) and Europeans (more frequently males). Consequently, African Americans have a genome-wide average of 78.1% West African ancestry and 18.5% European ancestry, with large variation among individuals (ranging from 99% to 1% West African ancestry)."

For many years the Portuguese had been pushing further and further south along Africa's western coastline and in 1487 a ship captained by Bartholomew Diaz made it around the Cape of Good Hope and sailed up the eastern coast of southern Africa as far as Algoa Bay. Ten years later another Portuguese sailor, Vasco da Gama, rounded the Cape and continued up the continent's eastern coast before heading further east, eventually to India. Over the next 200 years increasing numbers of Portuguese traders and their Dutch and British competitors began to make the journey to the east via the Cape of Good Hope. Though they occasionally stopped for fresh water and supplies in some of the more sheltered Cape bays and river mouths, the Portuguese usually tried to give a wide berth to the territory that is now South Africa. Apart from the treacherous coastline they also often encountered a hostile reception from the local inhabitants. Instead the Portuguese had trading and supply posts in present-day Angola and Mozambique where they were able to both resupply their ships on the way to their eastern empire and capture slaves to send to their American colonies. The Dutch were the first European trading power to set up a permanent settlement in South Africa. In 1652 the powerful Dutch East India Company built a fort and established a supply station under the command of Jan Van Riebeeck on a site that later became Cape Town. The idea was that this was to be simply a point where passing Dutch ships could drop in to get fresh supplies and to rest sick members of their crew."

Islam came along and conquered most of that, and also penetrated into the interior. Islam increased trade, such as the trans-Sahara routes, but also increased slavery. There were huge displacements of people in the Sahel as they fled commercial slavers and those trying to impose Islam, and later similar events happened along the East African coast. Much of northern Africa became Islamised, and the Arabic language and culture dominated in many areas. Similarly the East coast developed a hybrid Islamic Swahili culture, as well as being significantly Arabised. Slavery became a major industry and problem outside the area, and Barbary pirates would raid the European coasts as far north as Ireland to capture slaves."

D., and declined in the 1500’s when Portugal invaded and tried to run the trade for its own profit. As trade intensified between Africa and Asia, prosperous city-states flourished along the eastern coast of Africa. These included Kilwa, Sofala, Mombasa, Malindi, and others. The city-states traded with inland kingdoms like Great Zimbabwe to obtain gold, ivory, and iron. These materials were then sold to places like India, Southeast Asia, and China. These were Africa’s exports in the Indian Ocean Trade. These items could be sold at a profit because they were scarce in Asian countries. At the same time, the East African city-states were buying items from Asia. Many residents of the city-states were willing to pay high prices for cotton, silk, and porcelain objects. These items were expensive because they were not available in Africa at the time."

Argentinian President Juan Peron with his wife Eva on the balcony of Casa Rosada Government House in Buenos Aires in October 1950 Photo: APBy Fiona Govan, Madrid6:30AM BST 04 Aug 2011Follow The controversial treatment Peron, affectionately known as Evita, received during the final stages of uterine cancer, was kept a state secret and has only been disclosed now, 59 years after her death. The charismatic first lady, second wife of Argentina's late President Juan Peron, died in July 1952 at the age of 33 at the height of her popularity and after months of illness that left her emaciated and weak. \"\" We have uncovered evidence that led us to believe she underwent a prefrontal lobotomy to relieve the pain, agitation and anxiety she suffered in the final months of her illness,\"\" Daniel Nijensohn, an Argentine-born neurosurgeon and professor at Yale University told the Daily Telegraph. It would have meant that in the last months of her life, she was in a state of permanent sedation and may not have been aware of her surroundings. The conclusion was reached after comparing writings by her private physicians, accounts from contemporaries, photographs taken of her during her last months and X-rays of her embalmed body.

The findings by the team of neurosurgeons led by Mr Nijensohn, are to be published in an forthcoming edition of World Neurosurgery magazine. The team believes the surgery was performed by James L Poppen, a famous American surgeon who earned the sobriquet \"\"the Great Lobotomist\"\" for his pioneering work in the field. It only came to light during an interview with another neurosurgeon the Hungarian born George Udvarhelyi, who said he assisted at the secret surgery."

They called their empire Tiwantinsuyu, meaning \"\"four corners.\"\" Modern northern and western Argentina was a part of Kollasuyu. [ 1] The Inca elite imposed their own institutions on conquered territories, while at the same time incorporating local customs on a case-by-case basis. Because the Argentine portion of Kollasuyu was on the edge of the empire the communities there had even more local autonomy than elsewhere in the empire, but were still subject to Inca protection and duties through the mita system of reciprocity. At the same time, Inca statebuilding was based on the threat of violence. [ 2] This interplay of threat and promise, combined with the ethnic diversity of the conquered groups, created an Inca citizenship that was not ethnic but territorial and administrative, and based on a reciprocal relationship of rights and duties."

"text": "Health | THE DOCTOR'S WORLDTHE DOCTOR'S WORLD; From the Life of Evita, a New Chapter on Medical Secrecy By LAWRENCE K. ALTMAN and M. D. JUNE 6, 2000When Eva Peron, the first lady of Argentina, underwent a hysterectomy in November 1951, she did not know that her husband, Juan, had summoned a Manhattan cancer surgeon to perform the procedure. The surgeon, Dr. George T. Pack, flew to Buenos Aires, entered the operating room after Eva was anesthetized, and left before she awoke. A month earlier, using the same secret ritual, Dr. Pack examined an anesthetized Eva to confirm the cervical cancer that Argentine doctors had detected. The deceit was to keep the cancer secret from Eva and the public during a presidential campaign. Eva's efforts for the poor made a powerful political figure of a woman whose fame was later perpetuated as Evita in a Broadway musical and movie. News that she had a potentially fatal illness could have affected the election's outcome. The childless Eva underwent both procedures in the belief she had vague female problems. She never knew she had cancer. Eva's medical ordeal began in January 1950 when she was 30. She fainted and underwent an appendectomy."

"text": "By Steve Hendrix April 22, 2017 Email the author A portrait of Henrietta Lacks, who died of cervical cancer in 1951 just before advances cut the disease’s death rate by almost 70 percent. ( Katherine Frey/The Washington Post)Henrietta Lacks probably didn’t seem so immortal to doctors when she was first diagnosed at Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1951. The poor 31-year-old African American woman — the subject of a best-selling book, “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks,” and a new HBO movie starring Oprah Winfrey — was suffering from cervical cancer. “It was generally a death sentence then,” said Patricia Eifel, a professor of radiation oncology at the MD Anderson Center in Houston. Today, the disease is considered a cancer success story. Routine screening and improved treatment have driven its rates down from a major cause of death among women to one the rarest: Cervical cancer ranks just 14th in cancer frequency, and deaths from the disease have fallen some 70 percent since the 1950s. But when Lacks, a mother of five, was being treated in East Baltimore during the Truman era, it was an illness clouded in secrecy, shame and dread. It wouldn’t be until the 1980s that the sexually transmitted Human Papillomavirus (HPV) was identified as the cause of most cervical cancer, but it was still had whispered associations with sex, a disease of the poor and promiscuous. “Nuns famously didn’t get cervical cancer, you would hear that in medical school,” said Eifel, who has worked in the field for 30 years. Lacks, in the public “colored wards” of the world-renowned hospital, got the standard treatment for invasive cervical cancer at the time."

Photograph: Mark J Terrill/APEvery once in a while, somebody comes along and writes a catchy tear-jerking ballad in honor of a dead fascist's dead wife that makes you forget all the other great crypto-fascist tear-jerkers you've ever heard. Just such a number is Don't Cry for Me, Argentina. Composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice for the musical Evita, the song was released in 1976, the year the United States of America was celebrating 200 years of freedom, and Argentina wasn't. As a matter of fact, the year the song came out, Argentina was in the throes of an undeclared civil war which would result in thousands of brutal murders, mutilations, rapes and disappearances in a conflict whose seeds had been planted by the aforementioned dead fascist and his cronies. One thing you've got to say for Andrew Lloyd Webber: His politics may be obtuse, but his timing is impeccable. As conceived in the musical, Don't Cry for Me, Argentina is a show-stopping number meant to be belted out by the character playing Eva Peron, the second wife of the colourful South American dictator Juan Peron. An illegitimate child, but plucky, Eva Peron rose from poverty and obscurity to become a colourful actress and radio personality who would one day win the heart of the reform-minded generalissimo. The Hugo Chavez of his time, Peron started out as the savior of the working class, much to the chagrin of aristocrats and privileged intellectuals, but then fell in with the wrong crowd and ended up becoming just another South American thug. Peronism, which continues to exist today, even despite Evita, is a rabble-rousing cult whose ideology is difficult to pin down, because it is neither left nor right, neither fish nor fowl, but an eclectic mix of the worst elements of both."

Also, the strength of the embalming fluid (mixed by the embalmer) will determine how long a body holds up. In summary, it depends. Worst case, one week, best case, months. Expert embalming and good body condition may preserve for years. * note; Decomp begins immediately after death.permalink embed save [+] [deleted] 4 years ago * (112 children) [–] Kylanity 39 points 4 years ago I guess this is a really really morbid question, but my sister passed away 8 years ago from s.

"text": "\"The 20-year odyssey of Eva Peron's body By Linda Pressly BBC Radio 426 July 2012Share Three years after Eva Peron's death 60 years ago, her embalmed corpse disappeared, removed by the Argentinian military in the wake of a coup that deposed her husband, President Juan Peron. It then went on a global odyssey for nearly two decades. Tall, silvery-haired and precise, Domingo Tellechea has a worldwide reputation for the restoration of art, antiquities - and human remains. In 1974 he was the expert chosen to make the body of Eva Peron presentable for public display. These were violent times in Argentina - government death squads targeted radicals, and guerrilla groups attacked so-called \"\"agents of the state\"\". So when he was approached in a bar, alarm bells rang. \"\" I was talking to a young man who worked there when two guys all dressed in black came in,\"\" he recalls. \"\" They flung the doors open and looked over at us. This was dangerous, because in those days people were being carried off and 'disappeared' and never seen again. \"\" Eva Peron received great support from Argentina's working class whom she called descamisados - shirtless ones It was a relief when he realised the two men were official drivers, and he remembers how he was driven to the office of someone he knew, Oscar Ivanissevich, formerly Eva Peron's personal physician when she was alive. \"\""

This highlights disc, issued 23 years later, does not, as many such abridgments do, simply cull out the most popular songs for a casual audience. Instead, retaining almost 70 of those original 100 minutes, it pairs away enough material to fit the rest on a single CD but attempts to retain the shape of the piece as a whole. This may have been the simplest way to do it, since the songs are often embedded in suites bridged by a recitative that would have been challenging to edit. Given the approach, the choices about what to keep and what to drop are reasonable. Naturally, the show's best-remembered songs -- \"\"Don't Cry for Me Argentina\"\" (wedded to \"\"On the Balcony of the Casa Rosada\"\") and \"\"Another Suitcase in Another Hall\"\" -- are here, as are several other good songs. Other passages necessary to a minimum explication of the plot have been retained as well. The excisions include some of the choral numbers having to do with the rise of Juan Peron, such as \"\"The Art of the Possible,\"\" Evita's \"\"Rainbow Tour\"\" of Europe, and much of the later material depicting her physical decline and death. Patti Lu Pone remains an authoritative Evita, Mandy Patinkin is still a wonderful choice to negotiate the vocal demands of Che, and Bob Gunton, with his Spanish accent, remains a curiosity as Peron. But the purpose of this version of the recording is murky."

Her parents, Orlando Lu Pone, a school administrator, and mother Angela, a librarian, eventually divorced. She was christened Patti in honor of her great-grand-aunt, the renowned 19th-century opera singer Adelina Patti. Trained in dance, her early days as a teen were spent as part of a 60s sibling group called \"\"The Lupone Trio,\"\" which was comprised of Patti and older twin brothers William and Robert Lu Pone, the latter moving on to a daunting career of his own. A graduate of Northport High School, she attended the Drama Division of The Juilliard School and became part of its first graduating class, which also included future stars Kevin Kline and David Ogden Stiers. In 1972 the legendary John Houseman reshaped said graduating class and formed The Acting Company, which earned a strong reputation on tour as a classical repertory group. Gaining invaluable acting experience, she stayed with the company until 1975. Making her NY theater debut in \"\"The School for Scandal\"\" (1972), she went on to play major roles in \"\"The Hostage,\"\" \"\"The Lower Depths,\"\" \"\"The Three Sisters\"\" (her Broadway debut), \"\"Measure for Measure,\"\" \"\"Scapin,\"\" \"\"Edward II,\"\" and \"\"The Time of Your Life,\"\" among others.

A: Quick Answer The Constitutional Convention of 1787 in Philadelphia, also known as the Philadelphia Convention, agreed to terms that established the powers of Congress and rules regarding representation that are presently enacted. The Constitutional Convention of 1787 gave Congress the power to regulate the economy, the national defense system and the currency. The Philadelphia Convention also established the rules that dictated the representation each state would receive in the Congress.

For nine years following the Civil War, Texas was in turmoil, as its people attempted to solve political, social, and economic problems produced by the war. Emancipation changed the labor system, and the end of slavery forced a redefinition of the relationship between blacks and whites. The change in labor and the costs of the war threatened to undermine the economic power of those who had dominated antebellum economic life, which was focused on the plantation. The weakening of the antebellum elite threatened not only their economic and social position but also their political power. In 1865 Texans confronted a situation in which new directions could be taken in economic development, political alignments, and social order. The period of Reconstruction presented the old order with a critical challenge. One of the major forces that threatened change in the state was the United States Army. Federal troops began entering the state in late May 1865. Their commanders believed that their duty, at least in part, was to ensure loyal government and to protect the rights of the blacks who were free as a result of the war."

Upon arriving at the designated site, the delegates and their retinues settle in around the extraordinarily large conference table and make small talk while taking in the impressive view of the Dallas skyline. “ Ladies and gentlemen,” the designated chairman announces, “thank you for coming to this historic meeting and for being willing to stand up to the federal government’s runaway spending that is ruining our Republic.” “ As you all know,” he continues, “we have 24 hours to accomplish the one item on our agenda: the proposal of a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution, as already pre-ratified by 38 (three-fourths) of the state legislatures.” With that brief restatement of the publicized and promised purpose of this high-powered confab, the chairman retakes his seat, awaiting one of the governors to move for a vote on the BBA and another to second that motion. “ Point of order, Mr. Chairman,” declares a popular southern governor endowed not only with charisma, but appeal to the powers-that-be in national political circles. “"

Dooley)Features » March 14, 2016Corporate America Is Just 6 States Short of a Constitutional Convention If ALEC succeeds in rewriting the constitution to mandate a balanced budget, we’ll be stuck with supply-side economics for at least a generation. BY Simon Davis-Cohen Share Tweet Reddit Stumble Upon Email Print What would stop this constitutional convention from turning out like the Philadelphia Convention of 1787, which led to the scrapping of the Articles of Confederation and the drafting of an entirely new U. S. Constitution? In February, Republican presidential hopeful Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) signed on to a call for a constitutional convention to help defeat “the Washington cartel [that] has put special interest spending ahead of the American people. ”Cruz, along with fellow Republican presidential aspirants Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.) and Gov. John Kasich (Ohio), has endorsed an old conservative goal of a Constitutional amendment to mandate a balanced federal budget. The idea sounds fanciful, but free-market ideologues associated with the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a secretive group of right-wing legislators and their corporate allies, are close to pulling off a coup that could devastate the economy, which is just emerging from a recession. Their scheme could leave Americans reeling for generations. A balanced budget amendment would prevent the federal government from following the Keynesian strategy of stimulating the economy during an economic depression by increasing the national debt. ( Since 1970, the United States has had a balanced budget in only four years: 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001. ) Article V of the Constitution lays out two routes for changing the law of the land: An amendment can be proposed by Congress or by a constitutional convention that is convened by two-thirds of the states (34). Either way, three-fourths of the states (38) have to ratify it."

"text": "\"Bill of Rights Table of Contents The Background The Opposition Rallies James Madison’s Change of Heart Introduction to Congress Madison's Speech Enactment and Ratification Aftermath The Background On June 28, 1787, during the debate at the Constitution at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Connecticut delegate Roger Sherman asserted: “The question is not what rights naturally belong to men; but how they may be most equally & effectually guarded in Society. And if some give up more than others in order to attain this end, there can be no room for complaint. To do otherwise, to require an equal concession from all, if it would create danger to the rights of some, would be sacrificing the end to the means. The rich man who enters into Society along with the poor man, gives up more than the poor man, yet with an equal vote he is equally safe.” Although c Sherman was a firm proponent of national rights, he did not believe it was necessary to include a bill of rights in the Constitution – even if the American Revolution had been fought because of a long train of abuses of human rights by the British government. Although the delegates to the Constitutional Convention were concerned about rights, they were not the primary focus of their work. They did not consider it necessary to include a list of protected rights in the document they were writing. The Founders were children of the doctrine of natural rights. Robert Allen Rutland wrote: “Bill of rights were the ‘higher law’ of the eighteenth century, and they were created to be an instrument of service for every citizen. Christopher Gadsden reflected a common opinion when he wrote on the subject: ‘For it is essential to a Republic to have its Laws plain and simple, as far as possible, and known to every member of the least attention.’”"

"text": "\"Sunday, February 11, 2007Nuns Should Wear the Habit Posted by Matthew--> After reviewing A Nuns Habit, which lists poorly devised reasons for not wearing the habit, I feel encouraged to write on the subject. In short, my opinion remains that all religious sisters and nuns should wear the habit of their respective orders. No longer should these women, who have given their lives to the service of God and the Church, be dressing like laypeople. It is time to return to the ancient practice of wearing a distinct habit - this is not fulfilled by wearing laypeople's clothing! The habit inspires women to leave their lives and gives themselves to God. The same is true for men who are inspired by the garments worn by priests and monks. To enter a religious order, one does not just experience a change of heart and soul, rather, there is also a change in the physical realm. For example, many religious orders require the women to adopt a new name when they become a nun in addition to wearing the habit. Over the past 30 years, the number of women in Catholic religious orders has decreased by around 50 percent. There remains 85,412 religious sisters in the United States, and the average age is 68."

"text": "\"The Right of Secessionby Gene Kizer, Jr. There is no evidence that secession was illegal or prohibited by the Constitution, and in fact there is almost overwhelming evidence to the contrary, that secession was a legal, constitutionally sanctioned act. Historian Kenneth M. Stampp, in his book The Imperiled Union, maintains that it is impossible to say that secession was illegal because of the ambiguity of the original Constitution as to state sovereignty and the right of secession. He points out that \"\"the case for state sovereignty and the constitutional right of secession had flourished for forty years before a comparable case for a perpetual Union had been devised,\"\" and even then its logic was \"\"far from perfect because the Constitution and the debates over ratification were fraught with ambiguity.\"\" 1 It appears that the original intent of an unquestioned right of secession was established by the Founders, took root and \"\"flourished for forty years,\"\" then later a \"\"perpetual Union\"\" counter-argument developed out of political necessity when Northern states began realizing their wealth and power was dependent on the Union and its exploitation of the South. There had to be a specific constitutional prohibition on secession for it to be illegal. Conversely, there did not have to be a specific constitutional affirmation of the right of secession for it to be legal. Why? Because the 10th Amendment to the United States Constitution states: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. There was no constitution prohibition on secession, nor was there a constitutional sanctioning of any kind of federal coercion to force a state to obey a federal law because to do so was to perpetrate an act of war on the offending state by the other states, for whom the federal government was their agent. The arguments for the right of secession are unequivocal."

"text": "\"Wyoming Becomes a State: The Constitutional Convention and Statehood Debates of 1889 and 1890 — and Their Aftermath Published: November 8, 2014Democrats and Republicans alike in Wyoming Territory agreed by the late 1880s that it was time their territory became a state. Statehood was attractive to the territory’s businessmen and politicians, as it offered them much more local control over land and water issues. Statehood would also mean the federal government would no longer pay the salaries of the top officials — but that savings mattered less as time went on. One big obstacle loomed, however: were there enough people? Population had grown only slowly since the Territory was established in 1869. Congress used a general rule of thumb, dating back before the U. S. Constitution to the Northwest Ordinance, that a territory had to show a population of 60,000 people to qualify for statehood. Territorial Gov. Thomas Moonlight, a Democrat, reported in December 1888 that Wyoming had only 55,500 people. Most people lived on ranches and in small towns. The major employers, however, were the railroads (by 1890, these were the Union Pacific, the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy and the Chicago and Northwestern) and the coal mines (many owned by the railroads). But the population remained small and scattered over the territory’s 98,000 square miles."

If a majority of the House votes to impeach the official on any article, then the official must then stand trial in the Senate. For the official to be removed from office, two-thirds of the Senate must vote to convict the official. Upon conviction, the official is automatically removed from office and, if the Senate so decides, may be forbidden from holding governmental office again. The impeachment process is political in nature, not criminal. Congress has no power to impose criminal penalties on impeached officials."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories History, Politics & Society History History of the United States Founding Fathers What were the major compromises at the Constitution Convention? Flag What were the major compromises at the Constitution Convention? Answer by Nicole6629 Confidence votes 240The Great Compromise (Connecticut Compromise): the writers of the Virginia Plan wanted a bicameral legislature with both houses controlled by population (which was beneficial to them). The writers of the New Jersey Plan wanted a unicameral legislature in which everyone had the same amount of representatives. The Connecticut delegates came up with the Great Plan -- a bicameral legislature, with one house controlled by population, the other would have two representatives from each state. The 3/5 Compromise, this was done to appease the Southern states, which wanted to count their slaves as population as to gain more representatives. It was agreed that a slave would count as 3/5 of a person. This was important because it helped determine how many representatives in the House a state could have. If the Compromise hadn't been enacted, John Adams would have won the election of 1800 (Which was one of history's nastiest elections). There was also the compromise on executive elections."

Open Document Patrick Henry: Fight against the Constitution Although Henry refused to serve on the Constitutional Convention, Madison needed Henry's persuasive ways. Henry had a way to make people agree with his ideas. Even though Henry didn't serve on the Constitutional Convention, he was still present to put in his word. As soon as the meetings opened, Henry began to argue against the Constitution. This argument went on for three weeks. Henry was aware that the new government had to be strong, but felt that the Constitution made the central government too powerful. He thought that the power should lay in the hands of the states. \"\" What right had they [the group that wrote the Constitution] to say 'We the people,' instead We, the States?\"\" he demanded. Not only was Henry in fear of the central government gaining power, but was also worried about protecting the South."

"text": "\"Chapter 2 The Constitution - Study Questions (w/Answers)Provide answers to the following questions. What is the process for amending the Constitution, and why does it look that way? The process for amending the Constitution is in two parts. The first part is proposing an amendment. Proposals are by two-thirds of the members in both houses voting, or by two-thirds of the state legislatures asking Congress for a convention to propose amendments. Through the ratification process, it must occur in three-fourths of the state legislatures or a favorable vote in three-fourths of the states. The process looks this way because the Framers did not want the government to be too influenced by the people. Thus this became the formal method. Explain how the colonial experience and the ideas of John Locke influenced the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution. John Loke's idea was that for people it should be self explanatory that all humans are created equal and they have natural rights, as he called them, from the birth like, Right for Life, Liberty abd pursuit of Happiness."

After ratification in eleven states, in 1789 its elected officers of government assembled in New York City, replacing the Articles of Confederation government. The original Constitution has been amended twenty-seven times. The meaning of the Constitution is interpreted and extended by judicial review in the federal courts. The original parchment copies are on display at the National Archives Building. Two alternative plans were developed in Convention. The nationalist majority, soon to be called \"\"Federalists,\"\" put forth the Virginia Plan, a consolidated government based on proportional representation among the states by population. The \"\"old patriots,\"\" later called \"\" Anti-Federalists ,\"\" advocated the New Jersey Plan, a purely federal proposal, based on providing each state with equal representation.

"text": "Constitutionalism First published Wed Jan 10, 2001; substantive revision Wed Dec 20, 2017Constitutionalism is the idea, often associated with the political theories of John Locke and the founders of the American republic, that government can and should be legally limited in its powers, and that its authority or legitimacy depends on its observing these limitations. This idea brings with it a host of vexing questions of interest not only to legal scholars, but to anyone keen to explore the legal and philosophical foundations of the state. How can a government be legally limited if law is the creation of government? Does this mean that a government can be ‘self-limiting’? Is this even possible? If not, then is there some way of avoiding this implication? If meaningful limitation is indeed to be possible, perhaps constitutional constraints must somehow be ‘entrenched’, that is, resistant to change or removal by those whose powers are constrained? Perhaps they must not only be entrenched, but enshrined in written rules. If so, how are these rules to be interpreted? In terms of their original, public meaning or the intentions of their authors, or in terms of the, possibly ever-developing, values and principles they express?"

"text": "\"Multicultural Literature and the Children's Literary Canon by Kira Isak Pirofski, San Jose State University ABSTRACTThis article reviews historical research that has affirmed the value of multicultural literature in school curriculum. It summarizes the outcomes of pioneer pilot programs which successfully integrated culturally authentic literature into school reading and social studies programs. The article documents findings of researchers who investigated the lack of multicultural literature in the children's classics, Newbery Medal, Caldecott Award books, trade books and best sellers. The author discusses reasons for under representation of minorities in the children's literary canon and offers possible solutions to the problem. For past three decades, researchers have continued to affirm that culturally authentic children's literature engages the imagination and enhances the language skills of minority children. In addition, during the last three decades, there have been successful children's literature programs which attest to the unique ability of multicultural literature in improving the reading skills of minority and at risk children. Despite this clear indication of the merits of multicultural literature, a concurrent body of research has found that there is a historic and current lack of culturally authentic literature in the existing literary canon for children including classics, Newbery Medal and Caldecott books, tradebooks, best sellers. This paper presents an historical overview of research and reading programs which have found that multicultural literature is a valuable learning tool as well as research which documents the longstanding lack of multicultural literature in the children's literature. Reasons for the exclusion of culturally authentic reading materials in the canon are discussed as well. Pioneer researcher, Florez-Tighe (1983), was one of the first educators to advocate the use of multicultural literature in school curriculum."

In particular, fear and horror were expressed often, for these emotions were considered fascinating and extremely powerful by people of the times. Various aspects of civilzation made up the whole of the Romantic belief, from folklore, nationalism, medievalism, and emotion, to exoticism, religion, individualism, and nature. It is also important to note that the poetry, music, and art of the Romantic era followed similar ideals and philosophies of said time period. Several poets of the British Romantic Era had a severe impact on literature of the time and present day. Said poets are William Blake, George Byron, William Wordsworth, Samuel Coleridge, Percy B. Shelly, John Keats, Matthew Arnold, and John Clare. Folklore Interest in Folklore during the Romantic movement can be traced back to the mid-18th century. It was during this period that people's views of tradition began to change, and the belief that a commoner could possess an exquisite storytelling ability formed. For the first time, people began to recognize the literary merit of stories told by the uneducated, rather than focusing solely on scholarly works. This belief followed in the folk tradition of passing stories down orally and focusing on the more simplistic and natural elements in life."

"text": "\"January 30, 1963OBITUARYRobert Frost Dies at 88; Kennedy Leads in Tribute Special to The New York Times NEW YORK. A private funeral service, to be attended by members of the family, will be held for Mr. Frost tomorrow. Burial will be in the family plot in Old Bennington, Vt. On Sunday, Feb. 17, at 2 P. M. a public memorial service will be held at Amherst College, Amherst, Mass. The Frost family suggested that instead of flowers contributions may be made to a Robert Frost fund to establish special chairs for high school teachers. A number of such chairs have already been created in the poet's name, and the project was one in which he was deeply interested. Contributions should be sent to Mr. Frost's publisher, A. C. Edwards of Holt, Rinehart & Winston, 383 Madison Avenue, New York 17, N. Y. Remarkable In Many Ways Robert Frost was beyond doubt the only American poet to play a touching personal role at a Presidential inauguration; to report a casual remark of a Soviet dictator that stung officials in Washington, and to twit the Russians about the barrier to Berlin by reading to them, on their own ground, his celebrated poem about another kind of wall. But it would be much more to the point to say he was also without question the only poet to win four Pulitzer Prizes and, in his ninth decade, to symbolize the rough-hewn individuality of the American creative spirit more than any other man. Finally, it might have been even more appropriate to link his uniqueness to his breathtaking sense of exactitude in the use of metaphors based on direct observations. \"\" I don't like to write anything I don't see,\"\" he told an interviewer in Cambridge, Mass., two days before his 88th birthday. Thus he recorded timelessly (by matching the sharpest observation with the most exact word) how the swimming buck pushed the \"\"crumpled\"\" water; how the wagon's wheels \"\"freshly sliced\"\" the April mire; how the ice crystals from the frozen birch snapped off and went \"\"avalanching\"\" on the snowy crust."

Synopsis Born in London, England, on October 31, 1795, John Keats devoted his short life to the perfection of poetry marked by vivid imagery, great sensuous appeal and an attempt to express a philosophy through classical legend. In 1818 he went on a walking tour in the Lake District. His exposure and overexertion on that trip brought on the first symptoms of the tuberculosis, which ended his life. Early Years A revered English poet whose short life spanned just 25 years, John Keats was born October 31, 1795, in London, England. He was the oldest of Thomas and Frances Keats’ four children. Keats lost his parents at an early age. He was eight years old when his father, a livery stable-keeper, was killed after being trampled by a horse. His father's death had a profound effect on the young boy's life."

The English navigator James Cook became the first European to map the coast in 1770 and a First Fleet of British convicts followed to establish a penal colony at Sydney in 1788. The colony established an autonomous Parliamentary democracy from the 1840s and became a state of the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901 following a vote to Federate with the other British colonies of Australia. Through the 20th century, the state was a major destination for an increasingly diverse collection of migrants from many nations.

' William Wordsworth'A good poet is someone who manages, in a lifetime of standing out in thunderstorms, to be struck by lightening five or six times; a dozen or two dozen times and he is great. ' Randall Jarrell'Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal. 'T. S. Eliot'Milton, Madam, was a genius that could cut a Colossus from a rock; but could not carve heads upon cherry-stones.' ( To Miss Hannah More, who had expressed a wonder that the poet who had written Paradise Lost should write such poor sonnets. ) Samuel Johnson'Deprivation is for me what daffodils were for Wordsworth. ' Philip Larkin'Poetry is the record of the best and happiest moments of the happiest and best minds. ' Percy Bysshe Shelley'Writing free verse is like playing tennis with the net down. ' Robert Frost'...nine-tenths of what passes as English poetry is the product of either careerism, or keeping one's hand in: a choice between vulgarity and banality.

Collage and paint on board. Ezra Jack Keats Papers, de Grummond Children's Literature Collection, Mc Cain Library and Archives, The University of Southern Mississippi. Copyright Ezra Jack Keats Foundation Amid the sit-ins, marches, and protests of the Civil Rights movement, Ezra Jack Keats played a quieter role, choosing to be an activist on the page rather than in the streets. In 1962, he published The Snowy Day, the first full-color picture book to feature a black child as its protagonist. Written and illustrated by Keats, the book won the 1963 Caldecott Medal and went on to become an icon of children’s literature. Using beautiful layers of collage illustrations (one of the first to do so), the book describes the snow day adventures of Peter, a little boy who lives in the city. “The children's picture book publishing industry didn't believe before that time that books featuring minority characters would sell very well; it didn't think that there was a market for it,” said Erin Clancy, curator at the Skirball Cultural Center in California. A Blue Star Museum, the Skirball is currently exhibiting The Snowy Day and the Art of Ezra Jack Keats, which originated at the Jewish Museum in New York. “"

"text": "\"General: \"\"Ode on a Grecian Urn\"\"\"\"The excellence of every art is its intensity, capable of making all disagreables evaporate from their being in close relationship with Beauty and Truth. \"\" John Keats\"\"Ode on a Grecian Ode\"\" is based on a series of paradoxes and opposites:the discrepancy between the urn with its frozen images and the dynamic life portrayed on the urn,the human and changeable versus the immortal and permanent,participation versus observation,life versus art. As in \"\"Ode to a Nightingale,\"\" the poet wants to create a world of pure joy, but in this poem the idealized or fantasy world is the life of the people on the urn. Keats sees them, simultaneously, as carved figures on the marble vase and live people in ancient Greece. Existing in a frozen or suspended time, they cannot move or change, nor can their feelings change, yet the unknown sculptor has succeeded in creating a sense of living passion and turbulent action. As in \"\"Ode to a Nightingale,\"\" the real world of pain contrasts with the fantasy world of joy. Initially, this poem does not connect joy and pain. Understanding some lines in this poem is a challenge to any reader, particularly the last two lines:'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,'--That is all Ye know of earth, and all ye need to know. Some of the difficulty arises because there is no definitive text for this poem. No manuscript in Keats's handwriting survives."

"text": "\"Home About Evangelical List of Books Of The Bible With Authors August 20, 2015 by Jack Wellman 14 Comments What are a list of books in the bible and who the authors were? The Torah or Pentateuch Genesis Exodus Leviticus Numbers Deuteronomy Most people take it that Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible which is called the Torah or the Pentateuch. There is strong internal evidence for Moses writing the first five books of the Bible and there is relatively little dispute about his authorship. Exodus 24:3-4 states “ When Moses went and told the people all the Lord’s words and laws, they responded with one voice, “Everything the Lord has said we will do.” Moses then wrote down everything the Lord had said .” Two important things that should stand out are; Moses wrote down “ all the Lord’s words and laws ” and Moses wrote down “ everything the Lord had said .” Much of that “everything” was obviously part of the Torah. Some argue that Moses didn’t die until the very last part of Deuteronomy 34 so how could he have written the last chapter? Moses did die in Deuteronomy 34:7 but it was near the very end of the book as there are only five more verses left in chapter thirty four and that’s when the Book of Joshua starts and where God’s chosen leader takes over, so it seems certain that Joshua wrote the last few verses of Deuteronomy 34. When Moses died, Joshua had already been chosen to lead Israel and that meant he was also in charge of the “ everything the Lord had said ” writings so he likely closed the Book of Deuteronomy by completing the last five verses (Duet 34:8-12)."

There are documented references to a lead-holding pencil as early as 1565, and the earliest known version of what is now considered the modern mechanical pencil was found in 1791. There are also many patents for different versions. Continue Reading Keep Learning Who Invented the Pencil? Who Invented the Mechanical Clock? When Was the First DVD Player Invented?

But each of the mundane products you use every day has its own story and its own fascinating inventor.10 Louis Reard The Bikini Photo credit: Bettmann / Corbis In 1946, two Frenchmen reinvented the swimsuit. Jacques Heim, a couturier designer from Cannes, first created the two-piece suit, naming it the “ Atome ” after the French word for “atom.” Heim hired a skywriting plane to advertise his new clothing invention, writing out: “Atome . . . the world’s smallest bathing suit . . . ” Within three weeks, French automobile designer Louis Reard came up with his own interpretation by making the suit a little more revealing. He used less than 200 square centimeters (30 sq in) of fabric, connecting two inverted triangles with string and fashioning a separate bra top. He called it the “bikini,” after the US atomic testing site at the Bikini Atoll. Before the bikini, European bathing suits consisted of a halter top and shorts that covered up the navel, so it was difficult for Reard to find a woman who would dare model such a barely-there outfit. He finally turned to an exotic dancer named Micheline Bernardini."

Writing instruments made from sticks cut from high quality natural graphite mined at Cumberland in England and wrapped in string or inserted in wooden tubes came into use around 1560. [ 1] The term \"\"black lead pencil\"\" was in use by 1565. By 1662, pencils were produced in Nuremberg, in what is now Germany, apparently by gluing sticks of graphite into cases assembled from two pieces of wood. By the early 18 th century, wood-cased pencils that did not require the high quality graphite available only in England were produced in Nuremberg with cores made by mixing graphite, sulfur and various binding agents. These German pencils were inferior to English pencils, which continued to be made with sticks cut from natural graphite into the 1860s. The 1855 catalog of Waterlow & Sons, London, offered \"\"Pure Cumberland Lead Pencils. \"\" In 1795, French chemist Nicholas Jacques Conté received a patent for the modern process for making pencil leads by mixing powdered graphite and clay, forming sticks, and hardening them in a furnace.

Manetho noted the name in Greek as Μήνης ( transliterated: Mênês ).

"text": "Pencil History: The Earliest Forms of Self Expression Did you know that modern pencils owe it all to an ancient Roman writing instrument called a stylus? Scribes used this thin metal rod to leave a light, but readable mark on papyrus (an early form of paper). Other early styluses were made of lead, which is what we still call pencil cores, even though they actually are made of non-toxic graphite. But pencil history doesn’t stop there…Graphite came into widespread use following the discovery of a large graphite deposit in Borrowdale, England in 1564. Appreciated for leaving a darker mark than lead, the mineral proved so soft and brittle that it required a holder. Originally, graphite sticks were wrapped in string. Later, the graphite was inserted into hollowed-out wooden sticks and, thus, the wood-cased pencil was born!Nuremberg, Germany was the birthplace of the first mass-produced pencils in 1662. Spurred by Faber-Castell (established in 1761), Lyra, Steadtler and other companies, an active pencil industry developed throughout the 19th century industrial revolution. Pencil History: America Expresses Itself Early settlers depended on pencils from overseas until the war with England cut off imports. William Monroe, a Concord, Massachusetts cabinet-maker, is credited with making America’s first wood pencils in 1812."

In origin this is an occupational name and comes from the Old English word ‘smith’ meaning ‘a metal-worker’. In this form it has remained unchanged for over 1,000 years, apart from the spelling variations of Smyth or Smythe. However, occasionally the name Smythe will in fact be a location name, deriving from Smithy. Thus it would mean ‘dweller at the smithy’. The surname Smith has also frequently become double-barrelled, as for example in Robinson-Smith. The partner name in this case would have its own entirely separate derivation; it would usually be adapted from an indirect female line. Other variations on this name derive from specific trades-such as Brownsmith (meaning ‘copper or brass-smith’), or Greensmith (for ‘coppersmith’-the green referring either to the patina of copper, or to the colour of the flame when it is worked), Arrowsmith and Goldsmith. London’s borough of Hammersmith is named after a forge-a ‘hammer-smithy’."

At first, Montag takes pleasure in his profession as a fireman, burning illegally owned books and the homes of their owners. However, Montag soon begins to question the value of his profession and, in turn, his life. Throughout the novel Montag struggles with his existence, eventually fleeing his oppressive, censored society and joining an underground network of intellectuals. With his newfound friends, Montag witnesses the atomic destruction if his former city and dedicates himself to rebuilding a literate and cultural society. At the beginning of the novel, Montag develops a friendship with his 17 year old neighbor, Clarisse Mc Clellan, whose humanistic outlook and inquisitive nature prompt Montag to examine his life. Soon, he realizes he is unhappy and no longer loves his wife, Millie. Meanwhile, Millie is unwilling to deal with reality and instead chooses to immerse herself in interactive television, seashell radio, and an addiction to tranquilizers. Unfulfilled by his occupation and discontent with a society unconcerned with reports of an impending atomic war, Montag begins to question the ways of the world. Specifically, Montag wonders why books are perceived to be so dangerous and why some people are so loyal to them."

"text": "\"Pencil Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Background One of the oldest and most widely used writing utensils, the pencil originated in pre-historic times when chalky rocks and charred sticks were used to draw on surfaces as varied as animal hides and cave walls. The Greeks and Romans used flat pieces of lead to draw faint lines on papyrus, but it was not until the late 1400s that the earliest direct ancestor of today's pencil was developed. About one hundred years later graphite, a common mineral occurring as soft, lustrous veins in rocks, was discovered near Borrowdale in northwestern England. The Borrowdale mine supplied Europe with graphite for several hundred years; however, because people could not then differentiate between graphite and lead, they referred to the former as \"\"black lead.\"\" Cut into rods or strips, graphite was heavily wrapped in twine to provide strength and a comfortable handle. The finished product, called a lead pencil, was quite popular. In the late sixteenth century, a method for gluing strips of wood around graphite was discovered in Germany, and the modern pencil began to take form. In 1779, scientists determined that the material they had previously thought was lead was actually a form of microcrystalline carbon that they named graphite (from the Greek \"\"graphein\"\" meaning \"\"to write\"\"). Graphite is one of the three natural forms of pure carbon—the others are coal and diamond. In the late eighteenth century the Borrowdale mine was depleted, and, as graphite was now less plentiful, other materials had to be mixed with it to create pencils."

Books are compared to birds because books offer freedom through your thoughts, like birds who are free and have no restraints; Birds are a symbol of freedom. Birds fly wherever they want, and are able to go to heights and distances unknown to people. Books also are able to transport us to other worlds and lands, just by opening the pages and allowing us to digest the stories within. So, by burning the books, they burn not only freedom of thought but also the ability to imagine; They are burning the wings that would allow flight - flight of thought, flight of imagination, of individuality - that books bring to us. Why does the author introduce the character of Clarisse before Mildred? Mildred represents what is wrong in Montag's life, that he is ignorant of the world he is helping to create (or destroy), and that there are obviously things wrong with his life and the morally questionable things he finds himself doing. Clarisse introduces him to independent thought."

The Four Horsemen c. 1496-1498 by Albrecht Dürer, depicting the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse Woodcut is a relief printing technique in printmaking. An artist carves an image into the surface of a block of wood —typically with gouges —leaving the printing parts level with the surface while removing the non-printing parts. Areas that the artist cuts away carry no ink, while characters or images at surface level carry the ink to produce the print. The block is cut along the wood grain (unlike wood engraving, where the block is cut in the end-grain). The surface is covered with ink by rolling over the surface with an ink-covered roller ( brayer ), leaving ink upon the flat surface but not in the non-printing areas. Multiple colors can be printed by keying the paper to a frame around the woodblocks (using a different block for each color). The art of carving the woodcut can be called \"\"xylography\"\", but this is rarely used in English for images alone, although that and \"\"xylographic\"\" are used in connection with block books, which are small books containing text and images in the same block. They became popular in Europe during the latter half of the 15th century."

"text": "\"Bye Bye Byrdie A photograph of Hillary Clinton being kissed by Senator Robert Byrd has been widely circulated as a political statement.1KCLAIMA photograph shows Hillary Clinton with former Ku Klux Klan member Robert Byrd. RATINGTrue ORIGINShortly after Donald Trump declined to condemn David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan during an interview on CNN’s “State Of The Union” on 28 February 2016 (the Republican presidential candidate would later blame it on a faulty earpiece) a photograph purportedly showing Hillary Clinton with former Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, a former Ku Klux Klan member, was widely circulated online: The photograph was posted by numerous web sites along with articles arguing that the news media were being hypocritical in their coverage of Trump’s purported connections to a white supremacist hate group, while making no mention of Hillary Clinton. The Daily Caller also published a video of Clinton praising Byrd’s service in Congress: Despite mounting criticism for Donald Trump’s failure to disavow former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke’s support, Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton once heaped praise for late Klan leader Sen. Robert Byrd. In a video uploaded to the State Department’s official You Tube page on June 28, 2010, Clinton commemorated late Sen. Byrd by saying, “Today our country has lost a true American original, my friend and mentor Robert C. Byrd. This photograph and video are undeniably genuine: The photograph was taken in July 2004, and the video of Clinton was filmed on 28 June 2010, shortly after Byrd’s death. It’s also true that Robert Byrd was a member of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1940s and helped establish the hate group’s chapter in Sophia, West Virginia. However, in 1952 Byrd avowed that “After about a year, I became disinterested [in the KKK], quit paying my dues, and dropped my membership in the organization,” and throughout his long political career (he served for 57 years in the United States Congress) he repeatedly apologized for his involvement with the KKK:“I know now I was wrong. Intolerance had no place in America. I apologized a thousand times … and I don’t mind apologizing over and over again. I can’t erase what happened."

Ivana ended up with a $25 million settlement. Donald and Marla wed a year later, only to separate after four years. Marla, now engaged to Norman Mailer’s son, Michael, and living in Los Angeles, is quoted as telling The Telegraph, “Donald was never the man I wanted to marry. He and his world were alien to me … I’m so happy to be away from Donald and I’m just trying to move as far away as I can. “Donald was obsessed with me and was always running after me.

Share Flipboard Email Printby Buck Wolf Updated June 18, 2017Today's weird news mystery: Did Cheez Whiz once come in a spray can? I'm convinced it did, though you won't find it in a spray can today. That's now the domain of Easy Cheese, another Kraft Foods product. Cheez Whiz first appeared in 1952, and it was then sold in jars, as it is now, having made the glass-to-plastic conversion (and I'm talking about the packaging, not the product). Along the way, at least according to me, Cheez Whiz appeared in an aerosol-like spray can. I know it in my heart. And I know it because of a scene in the Blues Brothers, in which Dan Aykroyd chucks what he describes as a can of Cheez Whiz to an old man. My research on the Internet shows that there's been some debate over the Easy Cheese-Cheez Whiz controversy, but no definitive word from Kraft. And my friend Ed -- a reliable authority on all matters regarding Long Island and much of life's minutia -- has been hammering me lately on facts."

"text": "\"Sharia Law Muslim ‘No-Go’ Zones Rumor: Several European and Americans cities have been designated Islamic 'no-go zones' where Sharia law prevails.1KCLAIMA number of localities in the United States, France, and Britain are considered Muslim \"\"no-go zones\"\" (operating under Sharia Law) where local laws are not applicable. RATINGFalse ORIGINOn 7 January 2015, gunmen stormed the offices of French satirical publication Charlie Hebdo, killing 12 employees and wounding several others in an attack by terrorists who reportedly said they were avenging the prophet Muhammad. Concerns about Islamic extremists intensified in the tragedy’s aftermath and reinvigorated a long-circulating rumor involving Muslim “no go zones” in cities in both the United States and Europe. The belief that large neighborhoods or entire towns and cities have been effectively placed outside local rule of law is in no way new: variations of the rumor have circulated since the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001, but the rumor received both heightened attention and increased saturation after a controversial Fox News segment on 11 January 2015. In the course of that segment, Fox News host Jeanine Pirro spoke with self-styled terrorism expert Steve Emerson: Emerson began his set of remarks by claiming a number of Muslim no-go zones existed in areas of the U. S., England, France, and other western countries. According to Emerson, “Sharia law” essentially overrode the laws of the countries in which said zones were located, and local police avoided interceding in the affected areas: Well these no go zones exist not only in France, but they exist throughout Europe. They’re sort of amorphous, they’re not contiguous necessarily, but they’re sort of safe havens and they’re places where the governments like France, Britain, Sweden, Germany don’t exercise any sovereignty. So you basically have zones where Shariah courts were set up, where Muslim density is very intense, where the police don’t go in, and where it’s basically a separate country almost, a country within a country. Emerson continued by insinuating authorities in areas as France and the UK denied the existence of no-go zones in their countries and claimed the entire city of Birmingham, England, was one such example of a no-go zone in which “non-Muslim” residents were not permitted: In Britain, it’s not just no go zones, there are actual cities like Birmingham that are totally Muslim where non-Muslims just simply don’t go in. And parts of London, there are actually Muslim religious police that actually beat and actually wound seriously anyone who doesn’t dress according to Muslim, religious Muslim attire."

About two-thirds through the lengthy letter, Zuckerberg says Facebook's existing content regulation strategies are not sophisticated enough for the current political climate. In particular, he pointed out mistakes Facebook made in removing videos capturing police violence that were important to the Black Lives Matter movement and in removing iconic photo \"\"The Terror of War. \"\"\"\" We've seen this in misclassifying hate speech in political debates in both directions — taking down accounts and content that should be left up and leaving up content that was hateful and should be taken down,\"\" says Zuckerberg. \"\""

"text": "Science, Tech, Math ›Science Electromagnetic Induction Share Flipboard Email Print Faraday's electromagnetic induction experiment, 1882. The inner coil is connected to a liquid battery, the outer coil to a galvanometer. Michael Faraday (1791-1867) was one of the greatest scientists of the 19th century. His most significant contribution was the Experimental Researches on Electricity which was published over 40 years, where he described his discoveries, including the laws of electromagnetic induction (1831) and the laws of electrolysis (1833). He also discovered the principles of the electric motor and dynamo. Oxford Science Archive/Print Collector/Getty Imagesby Andrew Zimmerman Jones Updated January 15, 2018Electromagnetic induction (or sometimes just induction) is a process where a conductor placed in a changing magnetic field (or a conductor moving through a stationary magnetic field) causes the production of a voltage across the conductor. This process of electromagnetic induction, in turn, causes an electrical current - it is said to induce the current. Discovery of Electromagnetic Induction Michael Faraday is given credit for the discovery of electromagnetic induction in 1831, though some others had noted similar behavior in the years prior to this. The formal name for the physics equation that defines the behavior of an induced electromagnetic field from the magnetic flux (change in a magnetic field) is Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. The process of electromagnetic induction works in reverse as well, so that a moving electrical charge generates a magnetic field."

"text": "Electromagnetic Induction When a DC current passes through a long straight conductor a magnetising force, H and a static magnetic field, B is developed around it If the wire is then wound into a coil, the magnetic field is greatly intensified producing a static magnetic field around itself forming the shape of a bar magnet giving a distinct North and South pole. Air-core Hollow Coil The magnetic flux developed around the coil being proportional to the amount of current flowing in the coils windings as shown. If additional layers of wire are wound upon the same coil with the same current flowing through them, the static magnetic field strength would be increased. Therefore, the magnetic field strength of a coil is determined by the ampere turns of the coil. With more turns of wire within the coil, the greater the strength of the static magnetic field around it. But what if we reversed this idea by disconnecting the electrical current from the coil and instead of a hollow core we placed a bar magnet inside the core of the coil of wire. By moving this bar magnet “in” and “out” of the coil a current would be induced into the coil by the physical movement of the magnetic flux inside it. Likewise, if we kept the bar magnet stationary and moved the coil back and forth within the magnetic field an electric current would be induced in the coil. Then by either moving the wire or changing the magnetic field we can induce a voltage and current within the coil and this process is known as Electromagnetic Induction and is the basic principle of operation of transformers, motors and generators. Electromagnetic Induction was first discovered way back in the 1830’s by Michael Faraday."

But other than that, there was little real progress until the English scientist William Gilbert in 1600 described the electrification of many substances and coined the term \"\"electricity\"\" from the Greek word for amber. As a result, Gilbert is called the father of modern electric power. In 1660, Otto von Guericke invented a crude machine for producing static electricity. It was a ball of sulfur, rotated by a crank with one hand and rubbed with the other. Successors, such as Francis Hauksbee, made improvements that provided experimenters with a ready source of static electricity. Today's highly developed descendant of these early machines is the Van de Graaf generator, which is sometimes used as a particle accelerator. Robert Boyle realized that attraction and repulsion were mutual and that electric force was transmitted through a vacuum. Stephen Gray distinguished between conductors and nonconductors."

While Faraday receives credit for the discovery, electromagnetic induction may have been anticipated by the work of Italian priest and physicist Francesco Zantedeschi in 1829 or that of Joseph Henry, who around 1830 made a similar discovery, but did not publish his findings until later. Faraday formulated that electromotive force produced around a closed path is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux through any surface bounded by that path. Faraday experimented by wrapping two insulated coils of wire around an iron ring. He found that, upon passing a current through one coil, a momentary current was induced in the other coil — mutual induction. If he moved a magnet through a loop of wire, an electric current flowed in that wire. The current also flowed if the loop was moved over a stationary magnet. Changing magnetic field produces an electric field. This became Faraday's Law when it was modeled mathematically by James Clerk Maxwell. Faraday's Law became one of Maxwell's equations, which have since evolved into field theory."

A magnetic field exerts a force on particles in the field due to the Lorentz force, according to Georgia State University's Hyper Physics website. The motion of electrically charged particles gives rise to magnetism. The force acting on an electrically charged particle in a magnetic field depends on the magnitude of the charge, the velocity of the particle, and the strength of the magnetic field. All materials experience magnetism, some more strongly than others. Permanent magnets, made from materials such as iron, experience the strongest effects, known as ferromagnetism.

Without a doubt people should be prepared for life without electricity. Below is a detailed write up about EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) and how to protect yourself from it. EMP. The letters spell burnt out computers and other electrical systems and perhaps even a return to the dark ages if it were to mark the beginning of a nuclear war. But it doesn’t need to be that way. Once you understand EMP, you can take a few simple precautions to protect yourself and equipment from it. In fact, you can enjoy much of the “high tech” life style you’ve come accustomed to even after the use of a nuclear device has been used by terrorists–or there is an all-out WWIII. EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse), also sometimes known as “NEMP” (Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse), was kept secret from the public for a long time and was first discovered more or less by accident when US Military tests of nuclear weapons started knocking out phone banks and other equipment miles from ground zero. EMP is no longer “top secret” but information about it is still a little sketchy and hard to come by."

This was the beginning of a journey of surprises. The Faraday cage effect involves shielding of electrostatic and electromagnetic fields. A closed metal cavity makes a perfect shield, with zero fields inside, and that is in the textbooks. Faraday’s discovery of 1836 was that fields are nearly zero inside a wire mesh, too. You see this principle applied in your microwave oven, whose front door contains a metal screen with small holes. The screen keeps the microwaves in, while allowing light, with its much smaller wavelength, to pass through. Figure 1.

( Albert Einstein, 1931)Michael Faraday's Electromagnetic Force Field, Particle/Field Duality (1832)Faraday's Continuous Electromagnetic Force Field is a Mathematical Approximation of Many Discrete Standing Wave Interactions Faraday (1832) developed the mathematical concept of the 'electro-magnetic force field' as a way of mathematically describing action-at-a-distance for charged particles (i.e. electrons and protons). This is a continuous mathematical 'plotting' of the effects (forces and thus accelerated motions) that matter has on other matter in the Space around it, thus it is a description of effects rather than causes (Inductive / a posteriori rather than deductive / a priori. And this becomes important when you read Hume and Kant, for they explain that the ultimate Principles of Physics must be a priori, not a posteriori !). This field concept replaced Newton's instant action-at-a-distance between discrete particles. Importantly, the electromagnetic (e-m) field is a vector (directional) quantity that defines force and direction of acceleration of many charged particles upon one another. It is continuous in the sense that the distance and force between particles can vary by infinitely small amounts. For example, electrons near one another in Space experience a mutual force of repulsion and this behaviour can be mathematically described using Faraday's e-m field which quantifies this force and describes how it varies with distance and direction. As Albert Einstein explains;Faraday must have grasped with unerring instinct the artificial nature of all attempts to refer electromagnetic phenomena to actions-at-a-distance between electric particles reacting on each other. How was each single iron filing among a lot scattered on a piece of paper to know of the single electric particles running round in a nearby conductor?"

A: Quick Answer The Nile provided Egyptians with easy transportation, extremely fertile soil for farming, a regular, predictable pattern of rising and falling and a rich hunting ground for fish, birds and a variety of mammals. These rich resources enabled settlers to build farms and create food surpluses, encouraging a concentration of people that over time grew into villages and then cities.

Full Answer Because the Nile made it so easy to build up surpluses of food but still had poor growing seasons, it forced farmers and hunters to plan ahead. This necessitated a government structure. The leaders had to build and maintain storehouses, predict good and bad years and defend against inevitable invasions. A system of writing sprang up in order to keep good records, and a priestly class started working to predict the regular rise and fall of the Nile."

The ancient Egyptian society and culture is referred to as The Gift of the Nile because it was the Nile river that allowed the society to exist in enough comfort that they were able to turn their attention to other matters: namely, developing systems of writing, irrigation and agriculture, of law, of heirarchy. Without such a rich and vast water supply, Ancient Egypt would never have developed into the awesome society that it was. N.

HGMM · 8 years ago2 0 Comment I have come up with this answer that was given by an Egyptian. I think it says it all Egyptians are definitely not Arabs, nor considered themselves Arabs prior to the overthrow of Farouk by Nasser. Well before the Nasserite years Egyptians under the leadership of Sheikh Tantawi and Saad Zaghul considered themselves ''just Egyptians'' but because of Pan-Arabism have embraced Arabs. Another shock to people is that Arabs invaded the land of Egypt in 640 AD and the later Arabian Caliphates forced jizya tax and land tax upon the real descendants of the ancient Egyptians which were poor peasant farmers in the countryside. Neither Arabs nor any invaders bothered to mix with these people, SO THE ANCIENT EGYPTIAN RACE LIVES ON WITH THE RURAL FELLAHIN AND SA3EADI PEOPLE IN UPPER EGYPT. Foreigners like Americans and Europeans also have an eschewed sense of Egyptian phenotype due to the less migration of more elite Egyptians compared to more poor Egyptians who have a more African phenotype."

That's why the ancient Egyptians named the river Ar, meaning black. \"\" A land won by the Egyptians and given them by the Nile.\"\" -Greek historian Herodotus (circa 500 B.

The film features white actors playing the ancient Egyptian characters, outraging those who firmly believe that the Egyptians were black. But exactly what did the ancient Egyptians look like? Well, the answer is that nobody knows for sure. The majority of Egyptologists insist that it doesn’t matter at all, since there’s no reason to believe that the Egyptians shared our modern conception of race. To ask the ethnicity of the ancient Egyptians, they argue, is imposing a modern idea on a very old people. Still, there are some clues as to what the Egyptians might have looked like, although the only real conclusion is that we simply can’t be certain.10 Herodotus The Greek historian Herodotus, who wrote extensively about Egypt around 450 BC, was among the first to indirectly shed some light on the appearance of the ancient Egyptians. Writing over 100 years before Alexander the Great conquered Egypt, Herodotus argued that the inhabitants of Colchis (an area on the east coast of the Black Sea) were of Egyptian descent because, like the Egyptians, they had dark skin and woolly hair. Both groups also practiced circumcision and apparently wove linen in a similar way. Herodotus’s short description has been the subject of endless debate."

The Nile Valley, coastal areas, and the rare oases (plural for oasis) provide the only places that can support life. An oasis is an area of natural water in a desert that allows plant life. The Nile is the world’s longest river. It flows north through the Sahara creating a long oasis in the desert eventually dumping into the Mediterranean Sea. The Nile’s water comes mainly from highland areas near the center of Africa that receives frequent rain, which flows north, downhill into the Nile. The Nile is divided into sections by cataracts.

Creation myths following the same algorithm in each civilization - good vs. evil. Mythology can refer to the collected myths of a group of peopleÑtheir collection of stories they tell to explain nature, history, and customs - or to the study of such myths. As a collection of explanatory stories, mythology is a vital feature of every culture. Many sources for myths have been proposed, ranging from personification of nature or personification of natural phenomena, to truthful or hyperbolic accounts of historical events to explanations of existing rituals. Although the term is complicated by its implicit condescension, mythologizing is not just an ancient or primitive practice, as shown by contemporary mythopoeia such as urban legends and the expansive fictional mythoi created by fantasy novels and comics. A culture's collective mythology helps convey belonging, shared and religious experiences, behavioral models, and moral and practical lessons. The study of myth dates back to ancient history. Rival classes of the Greek myths by Euhemerus, Plato, and Sallustius were developed by the Neoplatonists and later revived by Renaissance mythographers. The nineteenth-century comparative mythology reinterpreted myth as a primitive and failed counterpart of science (E. B. Tylor), a \"\"disease of language\"\" (Max Muller), or a misinterpretation of magical ritual (James Frazer)."

Humans developed stone tools about 2,000,000 years ago, beginning what is known as the Stone Age. The Stone Age can be divided into two basic periods: the Paleolithic era, or Old Stone Age, and the Neolithic era, or New Stone Age. The main difference between the Paleolithic and Neolithic eras is the development of agriculture. This transition from food gathering to food producing, i.e. agriculture, is known as the Neolithic Revolution. This transition allows for the development of permanent settlements in some areas. Domestication of both plants and animals plays a key role in the transition from food gathering to food producing. It is the Neolithic Revolution that allows the later development of civilizations. The term \"\"civilization\"\" refers to a complex society that develops because of its food surplus that exists from the development of agriculture.

The firm's logo in 1895The House of Fabergé ( French pronunciation: [fabɛʁʒe]) (Russian: Дом Фаберже) is a jewellery firm founded in 1842 in St. Petersburg, Imperial Russia, by Gustav Faberge, using the accented name \"\"Fabergé\"\". Gustav was followed by his son Peter Carl Fabergé, until the firm was nationalised by the Bolsheviks in 1918. The firm has been famous for designing elaborate jewel-encrusted Fabergé eggs for the Russian Tsars and a range of other work of high quality and intricate details. In 1924, Peter Carl's son Alexander with his half-brother Eugène opened Fabergé et Cie in Paris, making similar jewellery items, but adding the city to their rival firm's trademark as \"\"FABERGÉ, PARIS\"\". In 1937, the brand name \"\"Fabergé\"\" was sold and then re-sold in 1964 to cosmetics company Rayette Inc., which changed its name to Rayette-Fabergé Inc. As the name was resold more times, Fabergé companies (such as Fabergé Inc.) launched clothing lines, the cologne Brut (which became the best-selling cologne at the time), the perfume Babe, hair products, and undertook film production.

"text": "\"What does Mary mean? Pronounce Mary [ 2 syll. ma - ry, mar -y ] The baby girl name Mary is pronounced in English as M AE R-iy or M EH R-iy †.1: Mary is of Hebrew origin and it is used mainly in English. The meaning of Mary is 'sea of bitterness; rebelliousness; wished-for child; to swell'. The origin of the name is disputed; it could be from mirjam. Other suggested meanings for the name include 'rebelliousness', 'wished-for child', or 'to swell' in reference to a pregnant mother. The name could also be of Old French, Egyptian, or Latin origin. Via the Hebrew derivation, the name originated as a Middle English Anglicized form of Marie, itself from Maria (Latin and Old Greek), which is from Mariam (Old Greek) and Mariamne (Hebrew), and ultimately from Maryam (Aramaic) and Miryam (Hebrew). The name was borne by six characters in the New Testament of the Bible, most notably Mary the mother of Jesus; to the Catholics she is known as the Virgin Mary. Other central figures in the Bible include Mary the sister of Lazarus and Martha, who sat and listened to Jesus at her house, and Mary Magdalene, a devoted disciple of Jesus."

Anal cancer is one of those cancers no one likes to talk about because it's, well, anal cancer. But we really should discuss it as much as, say, cervical cancer. Both are predominately caused by the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus. In fact, a 2004 study of 6,000 anal cancer patients (the majority of whom were women) found that 73 percent of the patients tested positive for the strain HPV-16, one of the strains that the Gardasil vaccine protects against. What's worrisome is that unlike cervical cancer, which has dropped dramatically since the advent of the Pap smear, anal cancer is on the rise. Incidence rates over the past 30 years have jumped by 78 percent in women and 160 percent in men, probably because more people now have more sexual partners and more people have anal sex (both among heterosexuals and gay men), says Lisa Johnson, a cancer epidemiologist at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle who led the 2004 study. Having unprotected sex, either anal or vaginally, raises your risk of becoming infected with HPV. Smoking is also associated with a higher risk of anal cancer, according to information I gleaned from the National Cancer Institute website, possibly because it inhibits immune function."

Although she initially had little success landing roles, when it came time for an audition for a Duncan Hines commercial, Lohan told her mother that she would quit acting all together if she did not get the job. Her can-do attitude proved effective, and she was hired. She eventually went on to appear in over 60 commercials, including this Jell-O spot with Bill Cosby.

In 1942, FDR faced the first attack on American soil at Pearl Harbor. Roosevelt spent more to gear up factories to produce the equipment needed for America to enter World War II. Today, you have FDR to thank for Social Security, the U. S. minimum wage, child labor laws and insurance for your bank deposits. Great Depression FDR won the election by promising to take all necessary steps to end the Depression. He introduced Keynesian economic theory, which said government spending would boost economic growth. The Depression had begun four years earlier with the stock market crash of 1929.

"text": "\"Specific Presidents of the United States of America Presidents of the United States of America Politics of the United States of America The United States of America How could president Franklin D. Roosevelt be elected for 3 terms president?8 Answers William Murphy, Professor of American History Answered Dec 5, 2015 · Author has 1.7k answers and 6.8m answer views Franklin Roosevelt was elected not to three terms, but to four terms as president. He died a few months into his fourth term in 1945, and was succeeded by his Vice President, Harry Truman. Roosevelt was able to be elected this many times because there was no term limit on the presidency at that time. This is not true today, because of the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, which was ratified in 1947 and which limits a president to two terms in office. So, in the strictest terms, the answer to \"\"how could he be elected so many times\"\" is that there was no limit on how often he could be elected, and he chose to run four times, and a majority of Americans continued to support him. I suspect this is a subject of confusion because no other president ever served more than two terms, and so it is often assumed that there has always been a term limit on the presidency. When George Washington was elected as the first president of the United States in 1788, and was re-elected in 1792 to a second term, he was enormously popular. While there are those today who might argue that the devotion to Washington was not entirely justified (I am not one of those), the fact is, he almost certainly could have president for as long as he wanted. And he knew it. But rather than seek a third term, he chose to retire to private life after his second term."

"text": "The Economic Legacy of Franklin D. Roosevelt: His Plan to End the Great Depression The Great Depression had a devastating impact on the American economy and the American people. President Hoover’s inactivity and belief in waiting things out left the United States in economic turmoil and in search of a new more dynamic leader. That leader was Franklin Delano Roosevelt who took over the presidency on January 20, 1933. This was without a doubt one of the most difficult and critical times to assume that office. The depression had hit its peak, our economy was in total collapse, unemployment rose to 30%, inflation was high, and GDP was down by 50% (Dinkins, 2001). But, inspired by optimism and hope, FDR brought a new plan into light. Contraire to Hoover’s classic economic beliefs, Roosevelt focused on “pump priming” economics, based in the Keynesian economic philosophy. President Roosevelt felt it was crucial to invest in the people and to instate government programs in order to boost the economy. In accordance with this philosophy, he added that the economy had to be built from the bottom up and not the top down. Roosevelt would achieve economic growth and stability through submitting large quantities of legislation which came to be known as the New Deal."

However, in addition to what's previously been said... I agree with Alan to a great extent, especially re: Washington and Jefferson, in their role as early Presidents. Washington pushed for a ton of pomp and circumstance around the office of the President that mostly faded during Adams' administration and completely dissipated with Jefferson. His deployed but unused force against the Whiskey Rebellion was also notable re: suppressing domestic unrest. Adams' ability to lock in the Judiciary in his midnight appointments, and the Federalists skill at beating back the impeachments during the 1802-04 years of Jefferson's Presidency also established the Executive's total control over appointments, which stood solidly until the Tenure of Office Act during the Radicals-Johnson clash post-Civil War. His passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts were devastating strikes against civil rights by a Founding Father, though naturally as an arch-Federalist, he would have been opposed to the Bill of Rights when proposed, since it was the anti-Federalists that forced the Bill of Rights on folks like Hamilton and Adams, who believed that those personal rights belonged at the state level. Jefferson nearly moved the government into what Wilson would call a Cabinet Government, as opposed to his Congressional Government. He planned out most major pieces of legislation that John Randolph would be responsible for advancing in the House, according to Remini. However, no future President until Wilson tried similar, and Wilson's collapse over the League of Nations meant that no President tried again until FDR, when sheer Executive action meant that the limited staff of the Legislative branch couldn't keep up with all of the legislation passing through."

"text": "( source)In 1933, Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected president of the United States by promising to end the Great Depression, which had driven the national unemployment rate up to 25% and gutted the economy. During his presidential campaign, FDR promised to lower government spending and taxes, and balance the budget. Once in office, he did the exact opposite. FDR’s government spent more in an effort to create jobs and increase consumer demand. He raised taxes to fund the hike in spending, as well key government services. All of this was meant to stimulate the economy while assisting struggling American households, in order to bring the nation out of the depths of the economic depression that had begun with the 1929 stock market crash. FDR quickly realized, however, that he could not print enough money to pay for his spending program, even by increasing taxes. The Federal Reserve Act of 1914 limited the amount of money that could be printed by the government. All Federal Reserve notes (paper money) had to be backed by 40 percent gold owned by the Federal government. In other words, for every dollar printed, the government needed 40 cents of gold in the bank. ("

Eisenhower is considered one of America’s most successful military leaders, serving as Supreme Commander of the Allied invasion of Europe during World War II. But the task of taking the fight to the Nazis meant long periods of separation from his wife, Mamie. Perhaps that’s why Ike began the affair that was soon being gossiped about all the way back in Washington. Photos of Eisenhower often showed him accompanied by his lovely secretary and driver, Kay Summersby, often standing just a little too close. After years of falling in love emotionally, Kay and Ike allegedly consummated their affair in the spring of 1944. Or at least they tried to—according to Summersby, Ike was actually impotent, confessing that marriage had “ killed something ” in him. As a result, she had to take the lead and teach him about sex during their trysts. When the war ended, Ike sent a formal request to his superior officer, General Marshall, to be relieved of duty so he could divorce Mamie and marry Kay. An outraged Marshall refused, promising to force Eisenhower out of the army and ruin his life should the divorce happen."

Answered May 27, 2013Allow me to be a little pedantic by interpreting the question as literally as possible and answering purely within the scope of \"\"Changes in the role of presidency\"\" Ever since George Washington, the first President of the USA retired from office after his second term, it had been customary for US Presidents to not seek re-election after their second terms ended. Certain Presidents did attempt to flout this tradition however, Ulysses S Grant's lost out to James Garfield in an attempt to get the Republican Party nomination in 1880, Grover Cleveland's bid to secure the Democratic nomination also failed in 1896 while Theodore Roosevelt lost the 1912 General election to Woodrow Wilson who also failed to get the Democratic ticket for the third time in 1920. The first President to successfully serve three full terms in office and win four general elections was FDR. Following his death in the year 1945, a year after winning the election for the fourth time, the US Congress passed the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution that set a term-limit for the individuals serving as the President and constitutionally barred any candidate from serving more than two terms. If the Presidency is assumed as the result of the previous President's inability to continue in office, the 22nd Amendment would count any term longer than 2 calendar years of holding office as the first term. As such, the only President post FDR who could have held office for longer than 8 years was Lyndon Johnson who had only served 14 months of JFK's term, but chose not to run.3.1k Views · View Upvoters Thank you for your feedback!Your response is private.

Roosevelt, nicknamed “FDR,” guided America through its greatest domestic crisis, with the exception of the Civil War, and its greatest foreign crisis. His presidency—which spanned twelve years—was unparalleled, not only in length but in scope. FDR took office with the country mired in a horrible and debilitating economic depression that not only sapped its material wealth and spiritual strength, but cast a pall over its future. Roosevelt's combination of confidence, optimism, and political savvy—all of which came together in the experimental economic and social programs of the \"\"New Deal\"\"—helped bring about the beginnings of a national recovery. In foreign affairs, FDR committed the United States to the defeat of the fascist powers of Germany, Japan, and Italy, and led the nation and its allies to the brink of victory. This triumph dramatically altered America's relationship with the world, guiding the United States to a position of international prominence, if not predominance. By virtue of its newfound political and economic power, as well as its political and moral leadership, the United States would play a leading role in shaping the remainder of the twentieth century. Franklin Roosevelt also forged a domestic political revolution on several fronts. In politics, FDR and the Democratic Party built a power base which carried the party to electoral, if not ideological, dominance until the late 1960s. In governance, FDR's policies, especially those comprising the New Deal, helped redefine and strengthen both the American state and, specifically, the American presidency, expanding the political, administrative, and constitutional powers of the office."

Helm Confidence votes 112KRetired professor of math and computer science having taught for 36 years at a state supported university in Virginia FDR was able to get the nomination four times and was elected four times. He won his first election because the country was in a depression and the Republicans had been in office for 12 years. Roosevelt promised a New Deal and with the help of a supportive Congress got sweeping new program into law. The people who were helped by the programs loved him forever. He won a second term very easily after the economy picked up . He was an excellent speaker who knew how to gain affection from voters and how to use his office to solidify his power base with his party. Despite opposition to the idea of running for a third term, he was able to get the nomination and win the election. When war broke out, he got a fourth term by convincing people that it was unwise to change leaders in the midst of a war."

"text": "\"THE WORD emanating from official Washington these days is that the era of Big Government is over. The long controversy over government's role in American economic life, senior leaders from both parties tell us, has finally closed. This is thus an appropriate moment to reflect on the origins of the Big Government era, to review a time in which the posture of government toward economic activity was anything but settled, and when the mix of public and private sectors shifted profoundly in favor of enlarged government involvement. There is little mystery about when this restructuring took place. It dates from the Administrations of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Less well understood, however, are the fits and starts surrounding the reconceptualization of government's role in the New Deal years. Even within FDR's official family, there was controversy about which types of intervention to pursue. These intra-Administration debates ultimately generated a new vision of governmental responsibility for the performance of the economy. The outcome differed not just from doctrines accepted before FDR became president, but also from the heterodox notions that had informed the New Deal's first initiatives. The prescription that emerged at the end of the 1930s then served to underpin the era now alleged to have ended."

By Michael Barone • September 28, 2017Tweet Presidents Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan. ( Office of the President)The Working-Class Republican: Ronald Reagan and the Return of Blue-Collar Conservatism, Henry Olsen, Broadside Books, 368 pages When the historian David Mc Cullough interviewed three of the living presidents, he found Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter detached and uninterested. But the incumbent president, Ronald Reagan, was brimming with enthusiasm and extended the interview well past the allotted time. It is no secret that Ronald Reagan, who cast his first four presidential votes for FDR, remained an admirer of his predecessor throughout his public career. But does that mean—as Henry Olsen, my former colleague at the American Enterprise Institute and now at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, comes close to suggesting in The Working Class Republican —that Reagan was a New Deal conservative? Not exactly, is my verdict. It was conventional wisdom in Washington when Reagan was elected president that he represented a reversal of all that Roosevelt stood for. That was partisan delusion. Both the 32nd and 40th presidents were broadly favorable toward free trade and mass immigration, though not without some caveats and tactical steps in the other direction."

Roosevelt The Creative Executive\"\"The country needs, and unless I mistake, the country demands, bold persistent experimentation. \"\" FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT, 1932The Oval Office September 27, 1940, 11:30 A. M. A delegation of civil rights leaders was filing into the Oval Office to push Franklin Roosevelt to embrace a radical, explosive concept: integrate the armed forces of the United States. Privately, Roosevelt thought it might be a good idea some day in the future. Today it was the last thing he wanted to do. It was the dawn of World War II, a national election was weeks away, he had many other battles to wage, and he had to buy time. What Roosevelt's guests did not know was that the president was secretly recording them through a microphone hidden in his desk lamp, which connected to an experimental sound machine hidden in a padlocked chamber right under their feet. Roosevelt had just recorded a press conference, and the machine was still running. Taking their positions on one side of the Oval Office were the two most powerful black civil rights leaders of the day: A. Philip Randolph, president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and one of the most orotund, forceful speakers of his time, and lawyer Walter White, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and an anti-lynching crusader, whose fractional ethnic connection to African Americans—he was 1/64th black—only magnified his passion for equal justice. White's fair-skinned father died in excruciating pain when surgeons at the white wing of an Atlanta hospital, where he had been mistakenly taken for an emergency operation, refused to treat him. On the other side of the office were Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, a former Rough Rider and a Republican appointed by FDR in a spirit of bipartisanship, and Robert Patterson, assistant secretary of war, both of whom flatly opposed the concept of integrating the military."

Bush was a lot closer to right than he usually manages when he placed the Yalta agreement, signed by Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin, in the context of the agreements that viewed “the freedom of small nations [as] somehow expendable.” What Bush, like most Republican critics before him, misses, however, is that the deal with the Soviets was inevitable. Roosevelt was forced to recognize the realities of the postwar map. Indeed, the cause of much bitterness and confusion arising from the Yalta deal in the decades that followed flowed from FDR's unwillingness to admit what he had done. To be sure, the Western leaders had little choice. In the first place, the Red Army had liberated the area from the Nazis in perhaps the most costly military victory in all human history, leaving as many as 27 million dead. Already tending toward paranoia on security matters on the basis of both ideology and experience -- together with Stalin's own neurotic tendencies -- the Soviet leaders' one nonnegotiable condition was that they be allowed to install friendly governments in the nations that stood between the USSR and Germany, with Poland being the most crucial. As they already occupied those nations anyway, little short of war -- and certainly not any sentimental attachment to what they regarded as a bourgeois conception of democracy -- was going to stop them. As host of the conference, Marshal Stalin offered his guests generous hospitality but precious few concessions. To secure the Soviet dictator's support for the creation of a powerful United Nations -- which, unlike Wilson's impotent League of Nations, would be underwritten by the military muscle and political will of the Great Powers -- Roosevelt was forced to agree to a plan lending U. S. legitimacy to Soviet states across Eastern Europe and the Balkans."

John Moser, Professor of History at Ashland University, places Roosevelt’s address in its historical context. Franklin D. Roosevelt’s First Inaugural Address, delivered on March 4, 1933, in the midst of the worst economic crisis ever experienced by the United States, is one of the most famous speeches of its kind in American history. This is likely due to Roosevelt’s tremendous oratorical skills, although it is important to note that most of the speech was written not by the president-elect, but by Columbia University Law professor Raymond Moley. ( Interestingly, only a few years later Moley became a conservative Republican and one of Roosevelt’s staunchest critics.) However, Roosevelt’s delivery was masterful, and the speech’s most famous phrase, “We have nothing to fear but fear itself,” was his own invention. While the “nothing to fear” line is perhaps the most memorable line of the speech, it is probably not the most noteworthy. There was nothing new or original about the suggestion that the Great Depression was primarily a psychological phenomenon; FDR’s predecessor, Herbert Hoover, had argued this many times, although never with Roosevelt’s elegant turn of phrase."

C., ever entirely keeps: a summer of voracious humidity. But spring still had a few weeks left; this afternoon’s haze was slight. As the setting sun applied its amber brushstrokes to the limestone of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, a motorcade turned off 14th Street and made a left onto D, slipping behind the Bureau’s new Annex building. There it disappeared into a rusty fan of railroad tracks that branched from the main line as it curved eastward off the Potomac bridge. The cars’ destination was a spur track and platform, used mostly for the offloading of ink barrels and bolts of the cotton-linen weave that, once they had been spooled into the presses upstairs, would slip away as sheets of United States currency. The loading platform possessed a second purpose, however, a top secret one1—one that became apparent as the limousines’ engines settled down to an even purr beneath their long hoods and the Secret Service men stepped from the running boards, their hard-soled shoes and the sounds of slamming doors echoing down the concrete platform. Drawn up alongside the idling cluster of automobiles was a train, but this was no string of freight cars. Six coffee-green Pullmans, glistening from a recent bath in the yards, lined up in the shadows. Through the windows, uniformed men could be seen moving up and down the aisles. The preparation for this trip had been under way for several hours."

"text": "General Interest1521Magellan killed in the Philippines Share this:facebook twitter google+Print Cite After traveling three-quarters of the way around the globe, Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan is killed during a tribal skirmish on Mactan Island in the Philippines. Earlier in the month, his ships had dropped anchor at the Philippine island of Cebu, and Magellan met with the local chief, who after converting to Christianity persuaded the Europeans to assist him in conquering a rival tribe on the neighboring island of Mactan. In the subsequent fighting, Magellan was hit by a poisoned arrow and left to die by his retreating comrades. Magellan, a Portuguese noble, fought for his country against the Muslim domination of the Indian Ocean and Morocco. He participated in a number of key battles and in 1514 asked Portugal’s King Manuel for an increase in his pension. The king refused, having heard unfounded rumors of improper conduct on Magellan’s part after a siege in Morocco. In 1516, Magellan again made the request and the king again refused, so Magellan went to Spain in 1517 to offer his services to King Charles I, later Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. In 1494, Portugal and Spain, at the prompting of Pope Alexander VI, settled disputes over newly discovered lands in America and elsewhere by dividing the world into two spheres of influence. A line of demarcation was agreed to in the Atlantic Ocean–all new discoveries west of the line were to be Spanish, and all to the east Portuguese. Thus, South and Central America became dominated by the Spanish, with the exception of Brazil, which was discovered by the Portuguese explorer Pedro Alvares Cabral in 1500 and was somewhat east of the demarcation line. Other Portuguese discoveries in the early 16th century, such as the Moluccas Islands–the Spice Islands of Indonesia–made the Spanish jealous."

"text": "The Strait of Magellan: 250 Years of Maps (1520–1787)The Strait of Magellan is a 350-mile navigable passage between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans located at the southern extremity of South America. It separates the mainland of Patagonia from the archipelago of Tierra del Fuego, the eastern part of which today belongs to Argentina, the western and southern parts, including Cape Horn and its surrounding islands, to Chile. But there is nothing straight nor straightforward about the passage; rather, it is a maze of islands, bays, and channels. ( See the very detailed Schrämbl map of 1787.) The existence of such a strait was suggested on world maps as early as 1507, when the German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller issued his landmark wall map bearing, for the first time, the name America. Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan was the first European to “discover” (confirm) the passage during his expedition’s historic circumnavigation of the world (1519–22); he claimed to have seen such a strait on a chart in the treasury of King Manuel I of Portugal. Tierra del Fuego was considered to be part of a larger, unexplored southern landmass; hence, the strait was the only transoceanic route mariners could follow. ( See the Quad map of 1600.) Magellan’s 1520 transit of the strait took thirty-eight days, many of them spent scouting and discounting alternative paths through the labyrinth. The following expedition in 1525, led by the Spanish nobleman Garcia Jofre de Loaísa, required four and a half months to solve the strait’s puzzle."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Geography Who first discovered and proved the earth was round, not flat? How was it proven?11 following 41 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: As far as we can tell nobody ever considered the world to be flat. The very earliest writings always describe the world as a dome or an upturned bowl or as a pile of soil or similar descriptions. So we can assume that people never thought the world was flat. That makes sense since anyone who climbed even a small mountain could see quite clearly that the world curves away on all sides. As a result they assumed it was shaped like a dome, with their location near the top. I guess what you meant to ask is when people first started to think the world was spherical. We don't know the answer to that question. We know that by the time we get to Hellenistic Greece it seems to have been universally accepted that the world was a sphere. Given their advanced astronomy it seems almost certain that the Persians had figured out that the Earth was spherical."

Born into a Portuguese noble family in around 1480, Magellan became a skilled sailor and naval officer and was eventually selected by King Charles I of Spain to search for a westward route to the Maluku Islands (the \"\"Spice Islands\"\"). Commanding a fleet of five vessels, he headed south through the Atlantic Ocean to Patagonia, passing through the Strait of Magellan into a body of water he named the \"\"peaceful sea\"\" (the modern Pacific Ocean ). Despite a series of storms and mutinies, the expedition reached the Spice Islands in 1521 and returned home via the Indian Ocean to complete the first circuit of the globe. Magellan did not complete the entire voyage, as he was killed during the Battle of Mactan in the Philippines in 1521. Magellan had already reached the Malay Archipelago in Southeast Asia on previous voyages traveling east (from 1505 to 1511-1512). By visiting this area again but now travelling west, Magellan achieved a nearly complete personal circumnavigation of the globe for the first time in history. [ 3] [4]The Magellanic penguin is named after him, as he was the first European to note it. [ 5] Magellan's navigational skills have also been acknowledged in the naming of objects associated with the stars, including the Magellanic Clouds, now known to be two nearby dwarf galaxies; the twin lunar craters of Magelhaens and Magelhaens A; and the Martian crater of Magelhaens.

In 1520-1521, Magellan commanded an expedition of five ships whose mission was to find a passage around the American continent to the Spice Islands. At the tip of South America, he discovered the strait that now bears his name, but after reaching Asia he was killed in the Philippines. Only one of the remaining two ships with eighteen survivors of the expedition returned to Spain, completing the first circumnavigation of the earth. Magellan began his life as a seafarer in his native country, Portugal, at the age of twenty-five when he was sent to India on an expedition to secure Francisco de Almeida as viceroy of the Portuguese territories there. A year later, in 1506, he sailed to the Molucas Islands which is known today as Indonesia, where he bought a slave named Enrique or Enriquillo, who accompanied Magellan on all future voyages. In 1513 Magellan was injured during combat in northern Africa, and since then he suffered with a limp. Magellan fell out of favor with the Portugese Court after taking leave without permission and was accused of trading illegally with the Moors. He knew Spain was looking for a route towards the Spice Islands without crossing the Portuguese area of the world established by the Treaty of Tordesillas, Magellan presented a plan of expedition to Charles V of Spain. The expedition departed from Sanlúcar de Barrameda in Spain on 20 September 1519, with five ships: the flagship Trinidad together with the Victoria, Santiago, San Antonio and Concepcion."

Recent advances in archaeology, historical linguistics, genetic research and bio-anthropology have produced new knowledge and new theories about population movements and interactions in Oceania and Polynesia. According to the current state of knowledge in this field, the migration of the first humans into what is called Near Oceania began around 40,000 years ago and over time produced considerable cultural, linguistic, and genetic diversity in Oceania and Polynesia About 4,000 years ago, the migration of what are now called Austronesian speakers from the Asian mainland led to the development of the so-called Lapita culture in the area referred to as Near or Western Oceania. The subsequent expansion of these Austronesian speakers into Remote or Eastern Oceania began around 1200 BC and led to the colonization of the islands in the eastern Pacific Ocean. This expansion ended with the settlement and colonization of New Zealand around 1250 AD. Austronesian Expansion and Colonization It is possible that Polynesians reached the coast of the Americas during or after this period, returning to Polynesia with the sweet potato from South America, coconut palm trees from Central America and possibly the bottle gourd as well which were then spread throughout the Pacific Basin. However, Polynesian contact with the indigenous peoples of the Americas remains a controversial issue, which the Transpacific Project is investigating in detail.

"text": "10 Greatest Maritime Explorers in History Follow Image Source The Age of Exploration, or Age of Discovery, encompassed the 15th and 16th centuries and was a glorious yet controversial period in human history that helped facilitate the shift from medieval times to the modern era. This time – though often mired in colonial exploitation driven by expansionist European foreign policies – highlighted mankind’s thirst for discovery and adventure, allowing distant continents to be mapped for the first time and proving beyond doubt that our planet is round. Also producing an increase in trade between nations, the Age of Exploration marked the true beginning of globalization. This article examines ten of the most celebrated – and in some cases notorious – seafaring names from that period.10. Bartolomeu Dias (c. 1451 – 1500)Image Source Born in Portugal’s Algarve, onetime royal warehouse superintendent Bartolomeu Dias was in 1487 tasked by King John II with forging a sea passage to India. In so doing, Dias became the first European to round the Cape of Good Hope. First plying an established route along Africa’s west coast, Dias had his nerve tested when a storm blew the expedition out to sea, forcing him to gamble on an old map given to him by the king. Opting to steer south before turning back east, Dias finally came ashore at Kwaaihoek on the Eastern Cape as tensions rose between his crew and a local tribe. With a potential mutiny on his hands, the explorer was unable to go further, reluctantly setting course for home. Only on the return leg did Dias spot the imposing Cape of Storms, so named by him because of its wild weather patterns."

"text": "Why Did Europeans Expand Into America, Africa and Asia Between 1415 and 1715? Mar 2Posted by moleboi During the sixteenth century expansion became a key theme across the face of Early Modern Europe; this caused the sixteenth century to acquire the retrospective name of the Age of Expansion or Age of Discovery. According to the historian Richard Mackenney the cause of European expansion during this period can be explained in terms of three major symptoms: overseas discovery, population growth and price inflation all of which are tied together in a complex multiplicity making in difficult to isolate one symptom from the others. Alongside these three key factors is another two factors, Emperor Charles Habsburg’s (Charles V) call for expansion of Christendom by converting the natives of the New World and the desire for economic power through monopolising on the trading of specific commodities, mainly spices although this also including fabrics, foodstuffs, basic resources and curiosities. Exploration had not been an entirely new concept to the world of Early Modern Europe. During the Middle Ages exploration had been overland and eastward, mostly dominated by tales of the Italian Marco Polo and his establishment of embassies with trading posts such as Constantinople and Samarkand along the illustrious Silk Road, which stretched all the way from Venice to China via Asia Minor, Persia and India. Come the turn of the fifteenth century, due to the advent of new navigational science replacing the dated classical geography of Ptolemy, discovery turned westward towards yet to be discovered America and south into what Ptolemy had called on his maps terra incognita, or lands unknown, which turned out to be the unchartered regions of Africa. Both these directions of exploration were partly in search of a viable sea-route in the Orient in order to break Venice’s iron-grip on the import of spices, silks and others goods from Africa and Asia. These projects were heavily dominated by Portugal and Spain since France was currently busy dealing with conflicts of both internal and external nature, Italy content with its monopoly over the Mediterranean sea-routes and imports brought in from the Silk Road and convinced that no other viable route were possible decided to sit out of overseas expansion. Finally the powers of England and the Netherlands attempts failed until the seventeenth century when they rose up to take over where Portugal and Spain were beginning to falter through lack of resources."

"text": "\"Humanities ›Geography Ferdinand Magellan Biography of Ferdinand Magellan Share Flipboard Email Print Visionsof America/Joe Sohm/Getty Imagesby Amanda Briney, Contributing Writer Updated March 06, 2017In September 1519, Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan set sail with a fleet of five Spanish ships in attempt to find the Spice Islands by heading west. Although Magellan died during the journey, he is credited with the first circumnavigation of Earth. First Heading to Sea Ferdinand Magellan was born in 1480 in Sabrosa, Portugal to Rui de Magalhaes and Alda de Mesquita. Because his family had ties to the royal family, Magellan became a page to the Portuguese queen after his parents' untimely deaths in 1490. This position as a page allowed Magellan the opportunity to become educated and learn about the various Portuguese exploration expeditions - possibly even those conducted by Christopher Columbus. Magellan took part in his first sea voyage in 1505 when Portugal sent him to India to help install Francisco de Almeida as the Portuguese viceroy. He also experienced his first battle there in 1509 when one of the local kings rejected the practice of paying tribute to the new viceroy. From here however, Magellan lost the viceroy Almeida's support after he took leave without permission and was accused of illegally trading with the Moors. After some of the accusations were proven to be true, Magellan lost all offers of employment from the Portuguese after 1514. The Spanish and the Spice Islands Around this same time, the Spanish were engaged in trying to find a new route to the Spice Islands (the East Indies, in present-day Indonesia) after the Treaty of Tordesillas divided the world in half in 1494."

Follow 1 answer Trending Now Stephen Hawking Dallas Cowboys Serena Williams Holly Willoughby Building Leads Reduce A1c Levels Anna Paquin Tori Spelling Resume Builder Alison Krauss Answers Best Answer: Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese sailor in the service of Charles I of Spain, became the first European to navigate the strait in 1520 during his global circumnavigation voyage. On March 22, 1518, the expedition was organized in Valladolid, naming Magellan captain general of the fleet and governor of all the lands discovered, and establishing the privileges of Magellan and his business associate Ruy Falero. The fleet would become known as the \"\"Armada de las Molucas\"\" or \"\"Fleet of the Moluccas\"\". The expeditionary fleet of 5 ships set sail from Sanlucar de Barrameda on September 20, 1519. The five ships included La Trinidad (100 to 110 barrels) under the command of Magellan; La San Antonio (120 barrels) under the command of Juan de Cartagena; La Concepción (90 barrels) under the command of Gaspar de Quezada (Juan Sebastián Elcano served as boatswain); La Victoria (85 barrels) under the command of Luis de Mendoza; and La Santiago, under command of Juan Rodríguez Serrano. Magellan's ships entered the strait on November 1, 1520, All Saints' Day, and it was initially called Estrecho de Todos los Santos (Strait of All Saints). Magellan's chronicler, Antonio Pigafetta, called it the Patagonian Strait, and others Victoria Strait, commemorating the first ship entering it. [ 1] Within seven years it was being called Estrecho de Magallanes in honor of Magellan. [ 1] The Spanish Empire and the Captaincy General of Chile used it as the southern boundary of their territory."

"text": "Sports | TRACK AND FIELDTRACK AND FIELD; Griffith Joyner Died After Seizure in Sleep By JERE LONGMAN OCT. 23, 1998The Olympic sprint champion Florence Griffith Joyner died of suffocation a month ago after suffering a seizure while she slept, medical authorities said yesterday in southern California. The seizure was caused by a congenital abnormality of blood vessels in her brain called cavernous angioma, said Dr. Richard Fukumoto, the chief forensic pathologist for the Orange County, Calif., coroner's office. Toxicology tests showed that Griffith Joyner, 38, had taken a tablet of the painkiller Tylenol and the antihistamine Benadryl, but tests for evidence of alcohol, recreational drugs and performance-enhancing drugs were negative, authorities said at a news conference in Santa Ana, Calif. Fukumoto said he did not find any abnormality of Griffith Joyner's heart during an autopsy, saying she had a ''normal athlete's heart'' that was in ''good form.'' At the time of her death, a family spokesman had said that a heart seizure was believed to have been the cause of death. Dr. Barbara Zaias, a neuropathologist with the coroner's office, said that the blood vessel abnormality is found in about 25 percent of the population, and that many people live their whole lives without knowing it. Others suffer from headaches or seizures, brought on by microscopic bleeding, she said. Fukumoto said Griffith Joyner had been sleeping face down when the seizure apparently caused her to turn her head into her pillow, restricting the flow of oxygen into her lungs and causing her to asphyxiate. Not all such seizures are grand mal seizures that would be noticed by another person, doctors said. '' In layman's terms, she suffocated to death,'' Fukumoto said."

Robert Philip July 16, 2009Updated: July 16, 2009 04:00 AM0shares Was Flo-Jo the world's fastest female or a cynical cheetah on two legs? Although she was dogged by rumour and innuendo throughout the final years of her tragically short life which ended at the age of 38 in 1998, the secret of how Florence Griffith-Joyner was transmogrified from also-ran into Olympic champion died with her. Only she and those in her immediate circle knew whether she truly was a wonder woman or a steroid-guzzling cheat whose heart gave out after years of drug abuse. It was during the US trials for the Seoul Games on July 16 1988 that Flo-Jo emerged from relative obscurity to set a 100m world record of 10.49secs - 0.47secs faster than she had run in previous seasons - a mark no other athlete has since come close to challenging. With her flowing locks, flamboyant wardrobe and elongated \"\"Stars and Stripes\"\" fingernails, Flo-Jo was the sensation of the Olympics, beating her compatriot Evelyn Ashford by 0.3secs to win the 100m, obliterating the world record on her way to victory in the 200 and adding a third gold medal in the 4 x 100. What will she do next? we asked ourselves in wonderment even as Canadian Ben Johnson was being stripped of his 100m medal after being revealed as a fraud. What she did next was to announce her retirement, coinciding with the news that mandatory drug testing would be introduced in 1989, as the whispers - suggesting her gold medals were tarnished with chemicals that had also dramatically altered her physique - reached a crescendo. \"\" It's all fabrication and lies,\"\" Flo-Jo proclaimed. \"\""

Introduction The term revival is not found in the Bible, although it is easy to defend it as a biblical concept. The term is made up of two parts, \"\"re\"\" and \"\"vival\"\". The first part means simply \"\"again\"\", the second comes from a verb meaning to give life. So the term implies that something has died and is brought back to life. The verb revive is explained as \"\"come back to life after apparent death; be renewed or refreshed\"\" (Webster). The word revival has been used in different ways in Christian literature. I will not take time to discuss this in this workshop, but rather try to point to some biblical terms for the reality I think constitutes biblical revival and then try to illustrate this by a few examples from revival literature. Just now I think it is enough to say that most writers on the subject will agree that revival is a revitalization of spiritual life. Biblical Terms: What is Revival? A. A Sovereign Act of God Some Western Christians seem to think that man can plan and arrange revival."

"text": "\"William J. Seymour and the Azusa Street Revival.maranatha Subscribe 2.2KAdd to Share More36,112 views Published on Feb 11, 2013\"\"William J. Seymour was born in Centerville, Louisiana on May 2, 1870. He was the son of former slaves, Simon and Phyllis Seymour. Even after gaining their freedom the Seymours had continued working on a plantation. Young William followed in their footsteps, growing strong in body and spirit, but receiving very little formal education. He taught himself to read so that he could read the Bible. Under the almost constant harassment of the Ku Klux Klan, and the oppressive Jim Crow laws, William became convinced that Jesus Christ was the only true liberator of men. After contracting small pox and losing one eye, he devoted himself to the ministry, proclaiming the gospel of the true liberty of all men through Jesus Christ. Rejection Marks the Spot In January of 1906, Seymour left Parham's school to pastor a mission congregation, without having received the baptism that he had sought for so long. Just a week after arriving he was rejected by congregational leaders of the mission who did not like his emphasis on the coming of a new Pentecost. One recurring theme in church history seems to be that most men and women of destiny arrive at their appointed place of destiny because of some level of rejection."

November 13, 1994 | RANDY HARVEY | TIMES STAFF WRITERNASHVILLE, Tenn. — Wilma Rudolph, who as a child walked with the aid of a leg brace but ran to three Olympic gold medals and inspired a generation of future champions, died at her home Saturday of brain cancer. She was 54. Rudolph overcame childhood battles with pneumonia, scarlet fever and polio to become the first U. S. female track and field athlete to win three gold medals in the same Olympics, finishing first in the 100 meters and 200 meters and running the anchor leg for the victorious 400-meter relay team in 1960 at Rome. \"\" She's a legend in track and field, like Jesse Owens,\"\" said Ollan Cassell, executive director of USA Track & Field. \"\" After Jesse died, she became the icon, a symbol of what the Olympics mean to this country and this sport. This is really a sad day. \"\" Cassell and other sports officials are in Nashville for the U. S. Olympic Congress, which opened Thursday with a request from U. S. Olympic Committee President Le Roy Walker for the 924 participants to join in a moment of silence for Rudolph. Many said that she ranks alongside Babe Didrikson Zaharias, a double gold medalist during the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, as the United States' greatest female athlete. \"\" She is one of the greatest Olympic champions ever,\"\" Walker said Saturday. \"\""

She was 38. Greg Foster, a former champion hurdler and a family friend, said he had spoken with Griffith Joyner's husband, Al Joyner, and with her sister-in-law, the track star Jackie Joyner-Kersee, and had been told that Griffith Joyner was believed to have suffered a heart seizure. An autopsy was performed yesterday afternoon, but the results were not immediately reported. Lieut. Hector Rivera, a spokesman for the Orange County sheriff's department, said a 911 call was received yesterday at 6:30 A. M., Pacific time, from Griffith Joyner's husband indicating that she was unresponsive and not breathing. No evidence of foul play was discovered or was expected, Lieutenant Rivera said. Foster, who is an executive in the marketing firm in St. Louis owned by Joyner-Kersee and who has extensive contact with the family, said he had been told that ''she never woke up this morning. '' Griffith Joyner had suffered a seizure two years ago during a flight and was hospitalized briefly. The family said little about that incident."

"text": "\"Home > Ideas How to Research the History of Your House Every old house has a story to tell. Find out when your home was built, who lived there, and how they changed it By Alexandra Bandon of This Old House magazine On a street filled with ersatz 1960's Colonials, the two-story white clapboard house with the black shutters exudes antique charm, especially when one notices the quaint sign hanging at the end of the driveway: Suttonfields, ca. 1734. The sign dates to 1983, after Gladys Schondorf, who owns the Somers, N. Y., house with her husband, Jack, did a deed trace on the property. Working with the town historian, she learned that her 2.7 acres had been part of a farm established by one John Sutton in the early 1700s and that a structure existed on the land in the 1730s. Schondorf presumed that her house included part of that original homestead—but now, after more digging, she's unsure if Mr. Sutton ever lived within its walls. As Schondorf discovered, tracing the history of an old house is like making your way through an overgrown garden maze. In most cases, unless you are a descendant of the original owners and have an attic full of memorabilia, finding out when your house was built, who lived within its walls, and what changes various homeowners wrought can be a challenging—but fascinating—journey. Anyone who undertakes it will need to be equal parts architectural historian, oral historian, research librarian and genealogist. The first step in compiling a house history is to identify the era in which the structure was built."

Mayweather and Marcos Maidana will wear the same style of eight-ounce gloves they wore in their last fight when they meet again Saturday at MGM Grand. Gloves sometimes can be a contentious issue in boxing, as it was in the May 3 fight, when Mayweather insisted Maidana wear Everlast Powerlock model gloves rather than Everlast MX, the latter of which includes horsehair as part of the padding. The disagreement on the eve of the fight included a Mayweather threat to cancel the event if Maidana didn't comply. This time, the gloves issue was resolved long before the Friday night rules meeting, though there was some unintentional debate about the glove weight in one unconsummated version of the fight contract. The first fight was to unify the welterweight title. By Nevada statute, welterweights wear eight-ounce gloves, as the fighters did in Mayweather-Maidana I. The rematch presented something of a technical challenge after the World Boxing Council agreed to let Mayweather risk both his welterweight and super welterweight titles, 147 and 154 pounds, with both fighters required to make the lighter weight. MLive.com previews Mayweather-Maidana IIMLive.com's David Mayo and Josh Slagter preview Floyd Mayweather's rematch against Marcos Maidana, set for Saturday night at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. There hasn't been a dual-weight title fight since Ray Leonard-Donny Lalonde in 1988, and this one presented a particular issue: In Nevada, fighters at 147 pounds and less wear eight-ounce gloves, while those heavier than 147 pounds wear 10-ounce gloves."

Mayweather is involved in a brutal kidnapping and beating over some missing jewelry. Apparently, he beat the living daylights out of two of his employees that he suspected of stealing his jewelry, luring them to a secret location and then letting loose. Some of Mayweather’s jewelry went missing in his Vegas homes, and he immediately pointed the finger at the two men he had recently hired to work there. Whether they are actually guilty of the crime, we don’t know, but Floyd Mayweather certainly believed they were. He contacted them a few weeks ago and told them to meet him at an off-site location. When they arrived, Floyd and a group of cronies proceeded to beat them up, using fists, weapons, and clubs. Both men reportedly had broken arms and legs, and could have easily died had the attack continued a little longer. TMZ’s source explained, “It was some ‘Breaking Bad’ s**t. ”Basically, the charges leveled against Floyd now include attempted murder, kidnapping, and mayhem."

Floyd Mayweather defeated Manny Pacquiao by unanimous decision Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Mayweather ran his record to 48-0 with the win, while Pacquiao fell to 57-6-2. The fight is expected to generate more than $400 million in total revenue, shattering the previous record of $200 million for Mayweather’s 2013 bout against Canelo Alvarez. So what’s next for Mayweather and Pacquiao? First off, they are both about to get big deposits in their bank accounts. Top Rank’s Bob Arum says he’ll wire Pacquiao $50 million on Monday for his guarantee. Mayweather’s check was an even $100 million, saying at his post-fight press conference: “Check had nine-figures, baby.” Once all of the PPV receipts are counted, the fighters are expected to split as much as $300 million with a 60-40 split in favor of Mayweather.

It would be ignorant of me to try and convince anyone either way who is to blame as most are on one side or another and that won’t change. If you blame Mayweather that’s fine, no problem, what I don’t like is the throw away comments about him ducking this or cherry picking that. With the exception of Pacquiao is there anyone else he should have fought in the past but didn’t? I thought I would have a proper look back at his career and assess the situation.1998Top 5 P4P1.

"text": "Sports Floyd Mayweather Jr. Defeats Manny Pacquiao in Boxing’s Big Matchup By JOHN BRANCH MAY 3, 2015Slide Show | 13 Photos‘Fight of the Century’Steve Marcus/Reuters For nearly 20 years, boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. has frustrated opponents in the ring with his cool calculation. He has been criticized out of the ring for his lavish lifestyle and outbursts of domestic violence. And he has navigated it all by winning habitually and becoming unapologetically rich. Manny Pacquiao, the mop-haired scrapper from the Philippines, presented a peculiar test. Pacquiao is a left-hander with fearless guile, the next-best fighter of the generation. He was an opponent who had waited years for a match. And he was so widely popular that Mayweather, a former Olympic medalist fighting in his longtime hometown against a foreigner, was widely booed upon arrival in the ring on Saturday night and again upon departure. But he left a winner. And he got much, much richer along the way. In what was considered the highest-grossing bout in boxing history, Mayweather, the 38-year-old with the baby face and the unblemished professional boxing record, beat Pacquiao for the welterweight world championship with a unanimous decision."

( Photo illustration by Ben Marra)By Geoffrey Gray Floyd Mayweather Jr. has fashioned a career by making the painful business of boxing look easy, but records obtained by Sports on Earth reveal a very different side of the undefeated champ: an embattled man very much on the ropes while spending time in jail. In the summer of 2012, Mayweather served 60 days of a 90-day sentence at the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas after pleading guilty to domestic violence charges involving a former girlfriend. \"\" My mind is not the same,\"\" Mayweather wrote in one impassioned request from inside the Las Vegas jail. \"\" I've lost weight I am stressed out I can't workout and I need some type of exercise.\"\" [ Editor's Note: All quotations are unedited.] Records also show that Mayweather was disciplined by officials, written up for \"\"borderline threatening\"\" an officer and suspected of paying off other inmates to receive preferential treatment, including a Latino gang member awaiting murder charges. Long known for his bluster and candor, the 37-year-old Mayweather, who faces Marcos Maidana on Saturday, has rarely talked about his experience in prison. Mayweather did not respond to multiple requests for comment through his publicist, and calls and messages to his manager were not returned. Internal reports and documents from the jail, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, not only detail Mayweather's imprisonment for the first time, but also paint a rare portrait of the eccentric champion during one of the most difficult periods of his life."

As he prepares for that big fight — one that will draw in viewers who've never watched a boxing match in their lives — much of the coverage of Mayweather's life outside the ring has focused on his wild spending habits. We all know he buys more luxury cars than he can possibly drive, spends $1,000 per meal, and flaunts his extreme wealth more than any other athlete alive. But before the biggest fight of his career another, darker aspect of his life outside the ring is resurfacing. Mayweather has a long history of domestic violence. Since 2002 Mayweather has been accused of violence against women with alarming frequency. He pleaded guilty in two of those incidents, and in another he was convicted only to have the charges dismissed four years later. The most recent incident, in which he hit his ex-girlfriend in front of two of their children at 5 a.m. in 2010, resulted in a 90-day prison sentence. Those three incidents:1. Over a five-month span in 2001 and 2002 he pleaded guilty to two counts of battery domestic violence, a search of his criminal record on the Clark County website shows."

Christopher Biggs tells us: \"\"When Mayweather steps out of his weight class and beats the world champion in their own weight class maybe you will stop hearing the comparisons between the two but as long as Floyd sits protected in the same weight class he's fought for almost a decade no one cares. It's like owning the video game Madden, playing on rookie and going undefeated, looks real good on paper the rest of us (the people that know the sport) know better. I won't even go into the questionable scoring because, like anyone else that even knows a fragment about boxing, the score card is not always right. But at the end of the day he is 48-0 in his weight class, that is an accomplishment, but top five? Watch some real boxing. I forget how many weight classes has Manny moved up to then beaten the world champion? Oh that's right Manny has done it six times."

He has only served 12 days out of his 87-day sentence that began on June 1. UPDATE: Wednesday, June 13 at 8:47 p.m. ET by Richard Langford TMZ is reporting that Floyd Mayweather 's request for house arrest has been denied. TMZ is reporting that they obtained court documents talking about the denial. He tossed aside the claim that jail is causing Mayweather to get in such terrible shape that it will end his career. The judge points out that Money has water and food available to him and it is his choice to not drink or eat more. He also adds that Money is provided \"\"sufficient space and time for physical activity.\"\" The judge's ruling falls completely in line with common sense, but it was certainly not a given. Once lawyers get involved anything is possible. Not too mention the fact that Floyd generates millions for the state of Nevada, and it was not out of the question to wonder if that would have played into this decision.--------- end of update ---------According to an Associated Press report ( via ESPN ), Mayweather’s lawyer, Richard Wright, is claiming that his client’s health is quickly deteriorating due to jailers confining him to a cell for 23 hours a day."

"text": "\"Floyd Mayweather seeks release Jun 12, 2012Associated Press Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Emailprintcomment LAS VEGAS -- A judge in Las Vegas said she'll decide later this week whether to ease jail conditions for Floyd Mayweather Jr., after his lawyers argued that the undefeated champion is getting out of shape in solitary confinement and may never fight again. Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa made no immediate ruling Tuesday on an emergency motion asking the court to move Mayweather into the general jail population -- something that jail officials had avoided out of fear for the celebrity's safety -- or put him in house arrest for the rest of his three-month sentence. Mayweather lawyer Richard Wright said he'd be willing to have the boxer serve the sentence in an apartment or somewhere less luxurious than Mayweather's posh Las Vegas-area home. \"\" I'm not looking for special treatment for Floyd Mayweather,\"\" Wright said. \"\" I'm looking for fair treatment. \"\" But prosecutor Lisa Luzaich said softening the sentence would be just another accommodation, similar to when Mayweather's jail surrender date was postponed for months after sentencing so he could fight Miguel Cotto in May. \"\"They keep chipping away, chipping away, chipping away,\"\" Luzaich said. Mayweather pleaded guilty in December to misdemeanor domestic battery and no contest to two harassment charges that stemmed from an attack on his ex-girlfriend while two of their children watched. He was sentenced to three months and entered the jail June 1. Mayweather's jail stay will be capped at 87 days because the judge gave him credit for three days previously served. It could be reduced by several weeks for good behavior."

The lack of such measure is at issue, largely by creation of Mayweather himself. Mayweather fights the second rematch of his career Sept. 13 against Marcos Maidana in a welterweight title bout at MGM Grand. The rematch, by nature of the competitive first fight, would figure to be more marketable than the May 3 original — except Mayweather and his promotional company, Mayweather Promotions, never released the pay-per-view figures from the first fight. It is the second time in three fights that Mayweather Promotions has opted against releasing the pay-per-view figures from a Mayweather bout. However, they did release the figures after last September's Saul \"\"Canelo\"\" Alvarez fight, which surpassed the 2007 Mayweather-Oscar De La Hoya bout as the richest in boxing history. Does that mean the Mayweather camp opted against releasing figures from the first Maidana fight and the 2013 Robert Guerrero fight because they were disappointing? \"\" Not at all,\"\" Mayweather Promotions CEO Leoanrd Ellerbe said. \"\" I'm very proud of our numbers, very proud of our numbers. \"\""

With Saturday night’s fight making him the highest-paid champ in boxing history, Mayweather hardly seemed to notice he was also one of the most reviled. “The check’s got nine figures on it, baby,” Mayweather bragged Sunday, as he waved the $100 million check he earned for beating Manny Pacquiao in a unanimous decision in Las Vegas. “No pictures, though,” he warned reporters. “ Don’t want any pictures of it. ”His total take could go as high as $180 million once pay-per-view revenue is tallied, experts said. That would be by far the largest purse ever earned by a fighter. But the welterweight title holder has also earned the ire of boxing fans, who are less impressed by his 48-0 record than they are repulsed by his constant bragging, his selfishness and his history of assaults on women. Mayweather, who had a net worth of more than $300 million before the fight and the nickname “Money,” has gained a reputation for extreme greed. Once he gave a radio interview in which he said people sometimes ask him why he hasn’t “given to Africa."

( Library of Congress)By Walter Isaacsonsmithsonian.com July 31, 2003Just as his son William had helped him with his famed kite-flying experiment, now William’s son, Temple, a lanky and fun-loving 15-year-old, lent a hand as he lowered a homemade thermometer into the ocean. Three or four times a day, they would take the water’s temperature and record it on a chart. Benjamin Franklin had learned from his Nantucket cousin, a whaling captain named Timothy Folger, about the course of the warm Gulf Stream. Now, during the latter half of his six-week voyage home from London, Franklin, after writing a detailed account of his futile negotiations, turned his attention to studying the current. The maps he published and the temperature measurements he made are now included on NASA’s Web site, which notes how remarkably similar they are to ones based on infrared data gathered by modern satellites. The voyage was notably calm, but in America the longbrewing storm had begun. On the night of April 18, 1775, while Franklin was in mid-ocean, a contingent of British redcoats headed north from Boston to arrest the tea party planners Samuel Adams and John Hancock and capture the munitions stockpiled by their supporters.

The Reader Author Bernhard Schlink Original title Der Vorleser Translator Carol Brown Janeway Cover artist Kathleen Di Grado (design), Sean Kernan (photo)Country Germany Language German Genre Novel Publisher Vintage International Publication date 1995Pages 218 pp ISBN 0-375-70797-2OCLC 370051270The Reader ( Der Vorleser) is a novel by German law professor and judge Bernhard Schlink, published in Germany in 1995 and in the United States in 1997. The story is a parable, dealing with the difficulties post-war German generations have had comprehending the Holocaust; Ruth Franklin writes that it was aimed specifically at the generation Bertolt Brecht called the Nachgeborenen, those who came after. Like other novels in the genre of Vergangenheitsbewältigung, the struggle to come to terms with the past, The Reader explores how the post-war generations should approach the generation that took part in, or witnessed, the atrocities. These are the questions at the heart of Holocaust literature in the late 20th and early 21st century, as the victims and witnesses die and living memory fades. [ 1]Schlink's book was well received in his native country and elsewhere, winning several awards. Der Spiegel wrote that it was one of the greatest triumphs of German literature since Günter Grass 's The Tin Drum. It sold 500,000 copies in Germany and was listed 14th of the 100 favorite books of German readers in a television poll in 2007. [ 2] It won the German Hans Fallada Prize in 1998, and became the first German book to top The New York Times bestselling books list."

"text": "GRADING MINT STATE FRANKLIN HALF DOLLARSby Frank Chiong Franklin Half Instructional Series: Grading Uncirculated Franklins From time to time we have discussed Franklins in every manner, from “Guess the Grade” to looking at toning, color and so forth. I’m encouraged by the fact that we are seeing more and more interest in this series, even though a lot of people scoff at poor old Frankies as either an ugly coin or a bullion coin. So be it. One of the wonderful things about this hobby is that no matter which coin you chose, there is likely to be a following for it. Personally I was always drawn to the Franklin because it is the first big coin that I was introduced to when I started collecting long ago. I remember looking at it and being taken by the fact that it was different from most of the coins that I had seen. It has IN GOD WE TRUST where the date should be, it doesn’t have a president or Miss Liberty on it, it’s got this big huge bell and this teeny little eagle on it. So slowly but surely good ol’ Franklin became a favorite and it still is. Sources for this series generally include “An Analysis of Gem Franklins” by Jack Ehrmantraut and “The Complete Guide for Franklin Halves” by Rick Tomaska – two books which I feel every serious Franklin collector should read Grading Uncirculated Franklin Half Dollars: The key to grading Franklins, or any other series for that matter, lies in knowing the series by date. Franklins, as with many other coins, have subtle differences which characterize the coins by year and mint."

HNN FUND RAISING DRIVE If you like the service HNN provides, please consider making a donation. LATE IN NOVEMBER 1988, Doug Wead, who had worked in the campaign that made George Bush Sr. president, wrote a paper about presidents' children for his associate, George W. Bush. What Wead found disturbed him--and disturbed the young George Bush when he read it: The children of America's presidents had a terrible record of failure and premature death. Bush himself had a superficial resemblance to Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr.: a president's namesake, with a brother in politics whose career started in promise and burned out in farce. ( Franklin Jr. also failed in a bid to be a governor, a post that George Bush had in mind at the time. ) Wead's forty-four-page paper is now a heart-wrenching and impressive book, All the Presidents' Children: Triumph and Tragedy in the Lives of America's First Families. One of the spurs for finishing the book may have been the death of John F. Kennedy Jr., who was killed with his wife and her sister while flying a plane in bad weather in 1999."

"text": "\"Home » History Content » Ask a Historian\"\"Join or Die\"\"Question Why aren't Delaware and Georgia included on the body of Ben Franklin's famous \"\"Join or Die\"\" snake? And why did the artist combine the four northeastern colonies as one? Answer The \"\"Join, or Die\"\" snake, a cartoon image printed in numerous newspapers as the conflict between England and France over the Ohio Valley was expanding into war—\"\"the first global war fought on every continent,\"\" as Thomas Bender recently has written—first appeared in the May 9, 1754 edition of Benjamin Franklin’s Pennsylvania Gazette. The image displayed a snake cut up into eight pieces. The snake’s detached head was labeled \"\"N. E.\"\" for “New England,” while the trailing seven sections were tagged with letters representing the colonies of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. The exhortation \"\"JOIN, or DIE\"\" appeared underneath the image. Lester C. Olson points out that Franklin might have seen images of snakes divided into two segments that had been published in Paris in 1685, 1696, and 1724 with the similar caption \"\"Se rejoinder ou mourir.\"\" The image in the Pennsylvania Gazette followed an article reporting the recent surrender of a British frontier fort to the French army and purported plans of the French, with their Indian allies, to establish a massive frontier presence with which to terrify British settlers and traders. The article ended with the surmise that the French were confident they would be able to \"\"take an easy Possession of such Parts of the British Territory as they find most convenient for them\"\" due to the \"\"present disunited State of the British Colonies\"\" and warned that the French success \"\"must end in the Destruction of the British interest; Trade and Plantations in America. \"\" Franklin was opposed in his efforts to unify the colonies by representatives of some of the colonial assemblies A longtime advocate of intercolonial union in dealings with Indians, Franklin helped make such a union an important agenda item for the Albany Congress, convened shortly after the snake image was published, on earlier orders from the Board of Trade, the British advisory council on colonial policy, with the goal of establishing one treaty between all the colonies and the Six Nations of Iroquois."

"text": "In October 1765, Deborah Franklin sent a gushing letter to her husband, who was in London on business for the Pennsylvania legislature. “ I have been so happy as to receive several of your dear letters within these few days,” she began, adding that she had read one letter “over and over.” “ I call it a husband’s Love letter,” she wrote, thrilled as though it were her first experience with anything of the kind. Perhaps it was. Over 35 years of marriage, Benjamin Franklin had indirectly praised Deborah’s work ethic and common sense through “wife” characters in his Pennsylvania Gazette and Poor Richard’s Almanac. He had celebrated her faithfulness, compassion and competency as a housekeeper and hostess in a verse titled “I Sing My Plain Country Joan.” But he seems never to have written her an unabashed expression of romantic love. Whether the letter in question truly qualified as his first is unknown, since it has been lost. But it’s likely that Deborah exaggerated the letter’s romantic aspects because she wanted to believe her husband loved her and would return to her. That February Franklin, newly arrived in London, had predicted that he would be home in “a few Months.”"

The task was a monumental one since the feeling was that it reflected the Founding Fathers' beliefs, values and sovereignty of the new Nation. Original designs varied widely. Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson proposed a design representing Moses crossing the Red Sea, with Pharaoh in hot pursuit. It included the motto: 'Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God'. The task was not complete until the current design was approved by Congress on June 20, 1782.

Answer by Ma9989009 Confidence votes 64.9KThe Senate referred the Judiciary Reorganization Bill of 1937 to the Senate Judiciary Committee by a vote of 70-20. It died in committee, so the Bill itself had no impact on the federal government or the American public. Roosevelt, on the other hand, lost some of his support and damaged his reputation. Other than making a permanent enemy of his Vice President, John Nance Garner (whom Roosevelt replaced in the 1940 primary), the consequences for the President were ultimately short-lived because he was elected to a third term of office in the 1940 general election. The controversy over the plan within Roosevelt's Democratic party ultimately led to irreparable schisms in the party. William Leuchtenburg summarized the affect on the Democratic party in his book The Supreme Court Reborn: \"\"FDR's message generated an intensity of response unmatched by any legislative controversy of this century, except possibly the fight over joining the League of Nations. Southern Democrats feared that an expanded liberal Court would give rights to blacks; progressives saw an assault on the branch responsible for protecting civil liberties; moderates who had always mistrusted Roosevelt now had proof of his treachery. \"\" 8 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

Presidents Ed Uthman, MDDiplomate, American Board of Pathology Last updated 2 Sep 2000Everyone knows that the average life span of humans has increased markedly in the 20th century, but has it increased for everyone? An informal study of U. S. presidents may yield some surprising answers. My aim is to look at the effect of medical advances over the last two centuries on the longevity of those who are most likely to have access to those advances. I think presidents make an interesting (if small) sample because of their demographic uniformity: all are white male politicians, almost all are military veterans, and presumably all had sufficient wealth and/or prestige to command whatever medical resources were available in their later years. Of the 41 men who have held the office, 5 are still alive (Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton), 4 were victims of homicide, all from gunfire (Lincoln, Garfield, Mc Kinley, Kennedy)*, and 32 died of natural causes (4 while in office: Harrison, Taylor, Harding, FD Roosevelt). These 32 are listed below by date of death. The \"\"ordinal\"\" figure is the order in which each served as president, Cleveland having served two non-consecutive terms.

"text": "\"Specific Presidents of the United States of America Presidents of the United States of America Politics of the United States of America The United States of America How could president Franklin D. Roosevelt be elected for 3 terms president?8 Answers William Murphy, Professor of American History Answered Dec 5, 2015 · Author has 1.7k answers and 6.8m answer views Franklin Roosevelt was elected not to three terms, but to four terms as president. He died a few months into his fourth term in 1945, and was succeeded by his Vice President, Harry Truman. Roosevelt was able to be elected this many times because there was no term limit on the presidency at that time. This is not true today, because of the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, which was ratified in 1947 and which limits a president to two terms in office. So, in the strictest terms, the answer to \"\"how could he be elected so many times\"\" is that there was no limit on how often he could be elected, and he chose to run four times, and a majority of Americans continued to support him. I suspect this is a subject of confusion because no other president ever served more than two terms, and so it is often assumed that there has always been a term limit on the presidency. When George Washington was elected as the first president of the United States in 1788, and was re-elected in 1792 to a second term, he was enormously popular. While there are those today who might argue that the devotion to Washington was not entirely justified (I am not one of those), the fact is, he almost certainly could have president for as long as he wanted. And he knew it. But rather than seek a third term, he chose to retire to private life after his second term."

The Tennessee Valley Authority was designed to build hydroelectric power dams along the Tennessee River The centerpiece of the Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA) was the \"\"domestic allotment plan,\"\" which paid farmers to take land out of production.

After steady economic recovery through 1936, President Roosevelt's retreat from deficit spending cooled down the economy too much, which led to such a downturn in national income and production that more than half of the gains brought by the New Deal were lost The Keynesian economic model advocated government intervention to revive production, boost consumption, and restore prosperity. The only way to pass the Fair Labor Standards Act through Congress was to exempt merchant seamen, fishermen, domestic help, and farm laborers. President Roosevelt never was able to escape his need for southern political support, which left the New Deal with a legacy of failing to address racial injustice The instruction that Franklin Roosevelt received at home and at school while growing up in Hyde Park, New York, instilled in him a belief that the privileged had a duty to look after the welfare of the poor and weak. As a result of his therapy treatments for polio in Warm Springs, Georgia, Roosevelt developed political relationships with southern Democrats. During Roosevelt's term as governor of New York, he intervened in the economy on behalf of the needy and angered conservatives who believed that the government should stay out of the economy and let market forces run their course."

( July 2017) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Paul Delaroche; portrait by Eugène-Ferdinand Buttura Paul Delaroche (Paris, 17 July 1797 – 4 November 1856) was a French painter who achieved his greater successes painting history. He became famous in Europe for his melodramatic scenes that often portrayed subjects from English and French history. The emotions emphasised in Delaroche's paintings appeal to Romanticism while the detail of his work along with the deglorified portrayal of historic figures follow the trends of Academicism and Neoclassicism. Delaroche aimed to depict his subjects and history with pragmatic realism. He did not consider popular ideals and norms in his creations, but rather painted all his subjects in the same light whether they were historical figures, founders of Christianity, or real people of his time like Napoleon Bonaparte and Marie-Antoinette. Delaroche was a leading pupil of Antoine-Jean Gros and later mentored a number of notable artists like Thomas Couture, Jean-Léon Gérôme, and Francisque Millet. Delaroche was born into a generation that saw the stylistic conflicts between Romanticism and Davidian Classicism."

Delaroche was born into a wealthy family and was trained by Antoine-Jean Gros, who then painted life-size histories and had many students. The first Delaroche picture exhibited was the large \"\"Josabeth saving Joas\"\" (1822). This exhibition led to his acquaintance with Théodore Géricault and Eugène Delacroix, with whom he became friends.

Atoine-Jean Gros He visited Italy in 1838 and 1843, when his father-in-law, Horace Vernet, was director of the French Academy in Rome. His studio in Paris was in the rue Mazarine. His subjects were painted with a firm, solid, smooth surface, which gave an appearance of the highest finish. This texture was the manner of the day and was also found in the works of Horace Vernet, Ary Scheffer, Louis-Leopold Robert and Ingres. Delaroche's work was not always historically accurate. \"\""

A shy man who worked a great deal in Aix-en-Provence, the home town where he was born and raised, Cézanne moved Paris when he was young and, despite his father's wishes, pursued a career in art rather than law. Cézanne was a modern artist whose work was a precursor for Cubism and Fauvism. His compositions were usually dark in tone and he often chose to work inside rather than en plein air. Cézanne didn't receive critical acclaim until very late in his life and after his first solo exhibition. He never formed close friendships with many of his fellow artists but before he died there was a great deal of interest in his works. Paul Cezanne Artistic Context Three Skulls Paul Cezanne Paul Cézanne's modern style and technique was avant-garde and therefore misunderstood for many years. Even the other breakthrough artists of his era, the Impressionists, were dismissive of Cézanne's progressive style and method. After the first Impressionist exhibition many of them petitioned to have him banned from the other shows because Cézanne's compositions were too controversial. Cézanne worked with thickly placed layers of paint and undefined forms and attempted to simplify everything into shapes that could be broken down."

"text": "Romanticism, attitude or intellectual orientation that characterized many works of literature, painting, music, architecture, criticism, and historiography in Western civilization over a period from the late 18th to the mid-19th century. Romanticism can be seen as a rejection of the precepts of order, calm, harmony, balance, idealization, and rationality that typified Classicism in general and late 18th-century Neoclassicism in particular. It was also to some extent a reaction against the Enlightenment and against 18th-century rationalism and physical materialism in general. Romanticism emphasized the individual, the subjective, the irrational, the imaginative, the personal, the spontaneous, the emotional, the visionary, and the transcendental. Britannica Classic: “The Spirit of Romanticism”A discussion of the key events and personalities of the late 18th- and early 19th-century Romantic movement in literature, music, and art. It contains dialogue based on letters and documents of the period. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Among the characteristic attitudes of Romanticism were the following: a deepened appreciation of the beauties of nature; a general exaltation of emotion over reason and of the senses over intellect; a turning in upon the self and a heightened examination of human personality and its moods and mental potentialities; a preoccupation with the genius, the hero, and the exceptional figure in general, and a focus on his passions and inner struggles; a new view of the artist as a supremely individual creator, whose creative spirit is more important than strict adherence to formal rules and traditional procedures; an emphasis upon imagination as a gateway to transcendent experience and spiritual truth; an obsessive interest in folk culture, national and ethnic cultural origins, and the medieval era; and a predilection for the exotic, the remote, the mysterious, the weird, the occult, the monstrous, the diseased, and even the satanic.

"text": "\"Art of the 20th Century A Revolution in the Arts Art Styles in 19th century - Art Map INTRODUCTION__STYLES, MOVEMENTS & GROUPS (Encyclopaedia Britannica)Modern The term modern art has come to denote the innovating and even revolutionary developments in Western painting and the other visual arts since the second half of the 19th century. It embraces a wide variety of movements, styles, theories, and attitudes, the modernity of which resides in a common tendency to repudiate past conventions and precedents in subject matter, mode of depiction, and painting technique alike. Not all the painting of this period has made such a departure; representational work, for example, has continued to appear, particularly in connection with official exhibiting societies. Nevertheless, the idea that some current types of painting are more properly of their time than are others, and for that reason are more interesting or important, applies with particular force to the painting of the last 150 years. By the mid-19th century, painting was no longer basically in service to either the church or the court but rather was patronized by the upper and middle classes of an increasingly materialistic and secularized Western society. This society was undergoing rapid change because of the growth of science and technology, industrialization, urbanization, and the fundamental questioning of received religious dogmas. Painters were thus confronted with the need to reject traditional, historical, or academic forms and conventions in an effort to create an art that would better reflect the changed social, material, and intellectual conditions of emerging modern life. Another important, if indirect, stimulus to change was the development from the early 19th century on of photography and other photomechanical techniques, which freed (or deprived) painting and drawing of their hitherto cardinal roles as the only available means of accurately depicting the visual world. These manually executed arts were thus no longer obliged to serve as the means of recording and disseminating information as they once had been and were eventually freed to explore aesthetically the basic visual elements of line, colour, tone, and composition in a nonrepresentational context. Indeed, an important trend in modern painting has been that of abstraction—i.e.,"

His importance resides in his contributions to both Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. Pissarro studied from great forerunners, including Gustave Courbet and Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. He later studied and worked alongside Georges Seurat and Paul Signac when he took on the Neo-Impressionist style at the age of 54. In 1873 he helped establish a collective society of fifteen aspiring artists, becoming the \"\"pivotal\"\" figure in holding the group together and encouraging the other members. Art historian John Rewald called Pissarro the \"\"dean of the Impressionist painters\"\", not only because he was the oldest of the group, but also \"\"by virtue of his wisdom and his balanced, kind, and warmhearted personality\"\". [ 1] Cézanne said \"\"he was a father for me. A man to consult and a little like the good Lord,\"\" and he was also one of Gauguin 's masters."

"text": "The “Painting Is Dead” Versus “Painting Is Back” Listby Corinna Kirsch on February 4, 2014 · 8 comments History Tweet We’ve been debating painting’s death for centuries now, and it seems we can’t quit. In 1839 the late French painter Paul Delaroche first dared to say those fateful words “painting is dead.” But even now nobody can agree if it’s dead; painting’s been reborn more times than we can count, thanks to critics who declare that “painting is back.” Is there any point to this seesawing between “painting is dead” and “painting is back”? Well, I did some quick and easy Google research and came up with a brilliant conclusion: My head hurts. You don’t need to do research to feel art pangs, but anyway, I did some research. First I chose a representative essay from each year which declared the status of painting as either “dead” or “back.” Those are listed below. ( A Google search returns approximately 66,300 results for “painting is back” and 175,000 results for “painting is dead.”) Then I made a very unscientific chart of the two Google search terms, featured above."

This period began with a demographic downturn at the end of the Roman imperial era, with European populations shrinking and many cities and rural estates abandoned. A cooling climate, disease, and political disorder each played a part in this opening period which saw Classical Mediterranean civilization eclipsed. Across Europe, there emerged smaller, more localized hybrid societies combining Roman, Christian and Germanic or Celtic barbarian influences. By the 9th and 10th centuries, populations had reached their minima, and Europe became a largely rural and somewhat backward region. Commerce and learning flourished in the Islamic world, China and India during the same period. Islamic armies conquered Spain during the 7th and 8th centuries, but were defeated by the Frankish kingdom in 732 when they attempted to enter France."

Artists painted unnerving, illogical scenes with photographic precision, created strange creatures from everyday objects, and developed painting techniques that allowed the unconscious to express itself. [ 1] Its aim was to \"\"resolve the previously contradictory conditions of dream and reality into an absolute reality, a super-reality\"\". [ 2] [3] [4]Surrealist works feature the element of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions and non sequitur; however, many Surrealist artists and writers regard their work as an expression of the philosophical movement first and foremost, with the works being an artifact. Leader André Breton was explicit in his assertion that Surrealism was, above all, a revolutionary movement. Surrealism developed out of the Dada activities during World War I and the most important center of the movement was Paris.

Taken in 1839 by Louis-Jacques Mande Daguerre, the photograph depicts a seemingly empty street in Paris. The elevated viewpoint emphasizes the wide avenues, tree-lined sidewalks, and charming buildings of the French capital. However, the obvious day light of the photograph begs the question – where are all the people in this normally busy city? Enhanced version of Joseph Nicephore Niépce, View from the Window at Gras, 1826 or 1827, oil-treated bitumen, 20 x 25 cm The answer to this question lies in the daguerreotype technique. The first photographs, such as Joseph Nicephore Niépce's famous View from the Window at Gras, took about 8 hours to expose, creating indistinct, grainy images. Daguerre was intrigued by these experiments and formed a partnership with Niépce from 1828 until the latter’s death in 1833. Daguerre continued to refine the photographic method until he developed his new process. Chemistry His technique consisted of exposing a copper plate coated in silver and sensitized with iodine to light in a camera, and then developed it in darkness by holding it over a pan of heated vaporizing mercury."

The three parts are the theoretical constructs in terms of whose activity and interaction our mental life is described. According to this Freudian model of the psyche, the id is the set of uncoordinated instinctual trends; the super-ego plays the critical and moralizing role; and the ego is the organized, realistic part that mediates between the desires of the id and the super-ego. [ 1]As Freud explained:\"\"The functional importance of the ego is manifested in the fact that normally control over the approaches to motility devolves upon it. Thus in its relation to the id it is like a man on horseback, who has to hold in check the superior strength of the horse; with this difference, that the rider tries to do so with his own strength while the ego uses borrowed forces. The analogy may be carried a little further. Often a rider, if he is not to be parted from his horse, is obliged to guide it where it wants to go; so in the same way the ego is in the habit of transforming the id's will into action as if it were its own.\"\" ("

"text": "\"Freud and Psychoanalysis Dr. C. George Boeree Precursors of Psychoanalysis It often surprises students that psychiatry - meaning the doctoring of the mind - was not invented by Sigmund Freud. Psychoanalysis - a particular (and very significant) brand of psychiatry - was his baby. Psychiatrists existed before Freud, and most, psychiatrists today are not Freudian. The term psychiatry was coined by the German physician Johann Reil 1 in 1808, and would slowly replace the older term \"\"alienist.\"\" The new respect signalled by the new name was based on some significant improvements in the care of the mentally ill in the second half of the 1700's. There are three people I would like to pay my respects to as important precursors to psychoanalysis: Franz Anton Mesmer, who discovered hypnotism; Philippe Pinel, who changed the way we thought of and treated the mentally ill; and Jean-Martin Charcot, who is often considered the father of neurology. Franz Anton Mesmer Franz Anton Mesmer was born May 23, 1734 in Iznang, Germany, near Lake Constance. He received his MD from the University of Vienna in 1766. His dissertation concerned the idea that the planets influenced the health of those of us on earth. He suggested that their gravitational forces could change the distribution of our animal spirits."

Think again. These are just two of the list of Freud's terms used to categorize how we react to life's curve balls. Watch this lesson to get the whole picture. Sources of Stress So today we're going to talk about Freudian defense mechanisms and this is basically what Freud thought that you do when you're faced with stress. And he thought that stress and anxiety are basically caused by your three parts of your personality fighting with each other. He thought that there was basically an id, an ego and a superego, and that your id has lots of impulses and things it wants to do; it's kind of childish, it doesn't really have self-control. Your superego is all self-control, so it's always limiting what the id wants to do. And your ego is the conscious part of you that has to deal with this conflict. And what Freud thought is when this anxiety gets out of hand, your ego starts to feel like it's under attack and so it tries to do one of these defense mechanisms to protect itself from having to deal with too much stress."

Brill, Ernest Jones, Sándor Ferenczi, at: Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. Date: September 1909. Psychodynamics, also known as psychodynamic psychology, in its broadest sense, is an approach to psychology that emphasizes systematic study of the psychological forces that underlie human behavior, feelings, and emotions and how they might relate to early experience. It is especially interested in the dynamic relations between conscious motivation and unconscious motivation. [ 1]The term psychodynamics is also used by some to refer specifically to the psychoanalytical approach developed by Sigmund Freud (1856–1939) and his followers. Freud was inspired by the theory of thermodynamics and used the term psychodynamics to describe the processes of the mind as flows of psychological energy ( libido or psi) in an organically complex brain. [ 2]There are 4 different schools of thought regarding psychological treatment: Psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, biological, and humanistic treatment. In the treatment of psychological distress, psychodynamic psychotherapy tends to be a less intensive, once- or twice-weekly modality than the classical Freudian psychoanalysis treatment of 3-5 sessions per week. Psychodynamic therapies depend upon a theory of inner conflict, wherein repressed behaviours and emotions surface into the patient’s consciousness; generally, one's conflict is subconscious.

"text": "\"Perspectives » Psychodynamic Psychodynamic Approach Saul Mc Leod, updated 2017The psychodynamic approach includes all the theories in psychology that see human functioning based upon the interaction of drives and forces within the person, particularly unconscious, and between the different structures of the personality. Freud’s psychoanalysis was the original psychodynamic theory, but the psychodynamic approach as a whole includes all theories that were based on his ideas, e.g., Jung (1964), Adler (1927) and Erikson (1950). The words psychodynamic and psychoanalytic are often confused. Remember that Freud’s theories were psychoanalytic, whereas the term ‘psychodynamic’ refers to both his theories and those of his followers. Freud’s psychoanalysis is both a theory and therapy. Sigmund Freud (writing between the 1890s and the 1930s) developed a collection of theories which have formed the basis of the psychodynamic approach to psychology. His theories are clinically derived - i.e., based on what his patients told him during therapy. The psychodynamic therapist would usually be treating the patient for depression or anxiety related disorders. Basic Assumptions Our behavior and feelings are powerfully affected by unconscious motives: The unconscious mind comprises mental processes that are inaccessible to consciousness but that influence judgments, feelings, or behavior (Wilson, 2002). According to Freud (1915), the unconscious mind is the primary source of human behavior."

"text": "\"Sigmund Freud (1856—1939)Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, was a physiologist, medical doctor, psychologist and influential thinker of the early twentieth century. Working initially in close collaboration with Joseph Breuer, Freud elaborated the theory that the mind is a complex energy-system, the structural investigation of which is the proper province of psychology. He articulated and refined the concepts of the unconscious, infantile sexuality and repression, and he proposed a tripartite account of the mind’s structure—all as part of a radically new conceptual and therapeutic frame of reference for the understanding of human psychological development and the treatment of abnormal mental conditions. Notwithstanding the multiple manifestations of psychoanalysis as it exists today, it can in almost all fundamental respects be traced directly back to Freud’s original work. Freud’s innovative treatment of human actions, dreams, and indeed of cultural artifacts as invariably possessing implicit symbolic significance has proven to be extraordinarily fruitful, and has had massive implications for a wide variety of fields including psychology, anthropology, semiotics, and artistic creativity and appreciation. However, Freud’s most important and frequently re-iterated claim, that with psychoanalysis he had invented a successful science of the mind, remains the subject of much critical debate and controversy.

Life Freud was born in Frieberg, Moravia in 1856, but when he was four years old his family moved to Vienna where he was to live and work until the last years of his life. In 1938 the Nazis annexed Austria, and Freud, who was Jewish, was allowed to leave for England. For these reasons, it was above all with the city of Vienna that Freud’s name was destined to be deeply associated for posterity, founding as he did what was to become known as the ‘first Viennese school’ of psychoanalysis from which flowed psychoanalysis as a movement and all subsequent developments in this field."

The discipline was established in the early 1890s by Austrian neurologist Sigmund Freud and stemmed partly from the clinical work of Josef Breuer and others. Freud first used the term psychoanalysis (in French) in 1896. Die Traumdeutung ( The Interpretation of Dreams ), which Freud saw as his \"\"most significant work\"\", appeared in November 1899. [ 3] Psychoanalysis was later developed in different directions, mostly by students of Freud such as Alfred Adler and Carl Gustav Jung, [a] and by neo-Freudians such as Erich Fromm, Karen Horney and Harry Stack Sullivan. [ 4] Freud retained the term psychoanalysis for his own school of thought. [ 5] The basic tenets of psychoanalysis include:a person's development is determined by often forgotten events in early childhood, rather than by inherited traits alone;human behaviour and cognition are largely determined by irrational drives that are rooted in the unconscious;attempts to bring those drives into awareness triggers resistance in the form of defense mechanisms, particularly repression;conflicts between conscious and unconscious material can result in mental disturbances such as neurosis, neurotic traits, anxiety and depression;unconscious material can be found in dreams and unintentional acts, including mannerisms and slips of the tongue;liberation from the effects of the unconscious is achieved by bringing this material into the conscious mind through therapeutic intervention;the \"\"centerpiece of the psychoanalytic process\"\" is the transference, whereby patients relive their infantile conflicts by projecting onto the analyst feelings of love, dependence and anger. [ 6]During psychoanalytic sessions, which typically last 50 minutes and ideally take place 4–5 times a week, [7] the patient (the \"\"analysand\"\") may lie on a couch, with the analyst often sitting just behind and out of sight. The patient expresses his or her thoughts, including free associations, fantasies and dreams, from which the analyst infers the unconscious conflicts causing the patient's symptoms and character problems. Through the analysis of these conflicts, which includes interpreting the transference and countertransference [8] (the analyst's feelings for the patient), the analyst confronts the patient's pathological defenses to help the patient gain insight."

When he was three years old his family, fleeing from the anti-Semitic riots in Freiberg, moved to Leipzig. Shortly thereafter, the family settled in Vienna, where Freud remained for most of his life. ( 24p10)Although Freud's ambition from childhood had been a career in law, he decided to become a medical student and entered Vienna University in 1873. Freud was driven by an intense desire to study natural science and to solve some of the challenging problems confronting contemporary scientists. He subsequently became known as the founder of psychoanalysis. ( 24p10, 6p3)Freud’s theory from Freud’s perspective (Freud did not invent the idea of the conscious versus unconscious mind, but was responsible for popularising the concept). The conscious mind is what we are aware of at any particular time and that the concious mind works with the preconscious - which is essentially anything that can easily be made conscious. For example memories not being thought about at the present time, but which can be brought to mind easily. The concious and preconcious are the smallest parts of conciousness overall. ("

"text": "\"PSYCHOANALYSIS - SIGMUND FREUDPsychoanalysis is a theory and method resulting from the work conducted by Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) on his patients who did not respond in a satisfactory manner with the cathartic technique (hypnosis) mainly used by his colleague Josef Breuer. The basic principles of psychoanalysis which Freud developed were quite different from those adopted in previous methods of treatment; before Freud, hysteria and the neuroses were generally treated with hypnosis or even electroconvulsive treatment. Freud introduced many new techniques, amongst which a method of treatment based to a large extent on talking. He invited his patients to lie down and relax on a couch - a technique which was to become one of the most widely-known and distinguishing features of the analytical method - and would then allow them to speak freely, referring whatever thoughts entered their mind. Through this method, Freud attempted to short-circuit the overbearing censorship of traditions, morality and the mores of society that might impede a revelation of the patient’s inner world and an individual’s true thoughts were thus more easily brought out into the open. This method of ‘free association’, which requires that the patient’s thoughts be openly expressed, free from the influence of rational logic, leads to a transformation into words of what is present in the deepest recesses of the mind. This deepest region of the psyche, which Freud referred to as the unconscious - forming part of a model that was to become perhaps his greatest contribution to modern thought - is the most difficult part of our mind to access. It is generated and continues to develop throughout life by means of the mechanism of repression. This latter defence mechanism removes from our consciousness painful and unacceptable thoughts that are so unbearable the mind eventually bans them altogether, sending them down into a subconscious zone. A person thus loses any awareness of them and the mind is no longer disturbed, or at least temporarily."

The ideal, however, would be for individuals to grow and live in a healthy psychological environment, in a society that cares for and nurtures each person, so that the use of these defense mechanisms is not necessary. Definition Defense mechanisms are unconscious mechanisms aimed at reducing anxiety that arises from three different scenarios: When the id impulses are in conflict with each other;When the id impulses conflict with superego values and beliefs;When an external threat is posed to the ego.

"text": "The Freudian Theory of Personality Sigmund Freud is considered to be the father of psychiatry. Among his many accomplishments is, arguably, the most far-reaching personality schema in psychology: the Freudian theory of personality. It has been the focus of many additions, modifications, and various interpretations given to its core points. Despite many reincarnations, Freud’s theory is criticized by many (e.g. for its perceived sexism) and it remains the focus of hot discussions on its relevance today. Etymology Freud was a one of a kind thinker. There can be little question that he was influenced by earlier thinking regarding the human mind, especially the idea of there being activity within the mind at a conscious and unconscious level yet his approach to these topics was largely conceptual. His theoretical thoughts were as original as they were unique. It is a testament to Freud’s mind to know that whether you agree, disagree, or are ambivalent about his theory, it remains as a theoretical cornerstone in his field of expertise. Definition Human Personality: The adult personality emerges as a composite of early childhood experiences, based on how these experiences are consciously and unconsciously processed within human developmental stages, and how these experiences shape the personality. Not every person completes the necessary tasks of every developmental stage."

In the beginning of his career, Freud did a lot of research on the field of neurology. During a study-related trip to Paris in 1885 he met the neurologist Jean-Marie Charcot. Because of conversations Freud had with Charcot, he developed a different view on mental disorders. Charcot was familiar with clinical methods like hypnosis and he was interested in hysteria. Together with Josef Breuer Freud completed his new theories. These theories became very famous, because they where very different from the contemporary alternative theories. Freud became well-known for his emphasis on the human unconsciousness. This was unacceptable for many researchers, because of the difficulty involved in measuring the concepts Freud used."

"text": "Freudian and Lacanian Psychoanalysis: a Comparison and Contrast Sigmund Freud, the Australian Neurologist who founded Psychoanalysis, took his experience and theories through many analysis and developments, before coming to name anything. Jacques Lacan on the other hand was more interested in what cannot be limited to ordinary definitions. He was interested in what happens between words and lines, with the margins of the psyche, with an unconscious i.e. that art of the word that fails. Lacan is therefore considered the most controversial psychoanalyst since Freud. For purposes of this essay, I am going to discuss Lacan‟s theory and how it overlaps that of Freud. Lacanian psychoanalysis is an attempt to integrate Freudian Psychoanalysis with post- structuralism. This reworking of Sigmund Freud psychoanalysis is as a result of the efforts of the French psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan. Lacanian psychoanalysis was being viewed as a revolutionary to Freud psychoanalysis. Despite the fact that Lacan had always insisted that his work remain loyal to his predecessor, Freud, there is some noticeable differences in the two psychoanalysis. Therefore, this essay will majorly focus on the differences of Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis since the latter was only attempting to expound upon the former psychoanalysis."

By Kendra Cherry Updated January 22, 2017Share Pin Email Print Cavan Images / Iconica / Getty Images Definition: Libido is a term used by in psychoanalytic theory to describe the energy created by the survival and sexual instincts. According to Sigmund Freud, the libido is part of the id and is the driving force of all behavior. While the term libido has taken on an overtly sexual meaning in today's world, to Freud it represented all psychic energy and not just sexual energy. How Does the Libido Influence Behavior? Freud believed that the id was the only part of personality present from birth. The id, he believed, was a reservoir of unconscious, primal energy. The id seeks pleasure and demands the immediate satisfaction of its desires. It is the id that serves as the source of our wants and impulses. The id is controlled by what Freud termed the pleasure principle."

It's free Futurism Key Dates: 1909-1944An Italian avant-garde art movement that took speed, technology and modernity as its inspiration, Futurism portrayed the dynamic character of 20th century life, glorified war and the machine age, and favoured the growth of Fascism. The movement was at its strongest from 1909, when Filippo Marinetti’s first manifesto of Futurism appeared, until the end of World War One. Futurism was unique in that it was a self-invented art movement. The idea of Futurism came first, followed by a fanfare of publicity; it was only afterwards that artists could find a means to express it. Marinetti’s manifesto, printed on the front page of Le Figaro, was bombastic and inflammatory in tone – “set fire to the library shelves… flood the museums” – suggesting that he was more interested in shocking the public than exploring Futurism’s themes. Painters in the movement did have a serious intent beyond Marinetti’s bombast, however. Their aim was to portray sensations as a “synthesis of what one remembers and of what one sees”, and to capture what they called the ‘force lines’ of objects. The futurists’ representation of forms in motion influenced many painters, including Marcel Duchamp and Robert Delaunay, and such movements as Cubism and Russian Constructivism.

"text": "Italian Futurism Giacomo Balla, Marinetti (1925)Italian Futurism was initially a literary movement created by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti in 1909 with the manifesto Le Futurisme [1]. The intentions of this manifesto was a wake-up call to Marinetti's countrymen to make them aware that they had been 'wearing second-hand clothes for too long.' It was time for them to create a new art for themselves, forged out of the beauty of speed and a glorification of war: Art, in fact, can be nothing but violence, cruelty, and injustice. That the manifesto was first written in French and published in the Parisian newspaper Le Figaro before any of the new Futurist art existed, typified Marinetti's understanding of the power of the media to work for him and disseminate his ideas. M. Angelini, Ritratto di Marinetti (1916)F. T. Marinetti along with the artists that he gathered around him, wrote manifestos not only on literature, music, dance, performance, painting, architecture, etc. but also on almost all aspects touching everyday life, such as clothing, food [2] , smells, war and lust [3]. Futurism was the first attempt in the 20th century to reinvent life as it was being transfixed by new technologies and conceive of a new race in the form of machine-extended man. Futurism succinctly reiterated a cognate set of ideas which reverberates all through a multitude of forms in 20th century art expression. These were ideas which were already in the air, many filtering up through the Symbolist and Expressionistic poets of the 19th century. The impact of radically new forms of technology had made profound effects upon Western culture, and these too were at the core of the Futurist enterprise. From the collapse and bankruptcy of traditional Western art forms and aesthetics at the end of 19th century, the art of discontinuity and rupture was produced [4]. Fortunato Depero, Incendio (1929). The Italians were among the first to identify and place their own claims upon these new ways of perceiving and acting."

Fascists took inspiration from as far back as the Spartans for their focus on racial purity and their emphasis on rule by an elite minority. It has also been connected to the ideals of Plato, though there are key differences. In Italy, Fascism styled itself as the ideological successor to Rome, particularly the Roman Empire. The Enlightenment -era concept of a \"\"high and noble\"\" Aryan culture [ dubious – discuss] as opposed to a \"\"parasitic\"\" Semitic culture was core to Nazi racial views. From the same era, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel 's view on the absolute authority of the state also strongly influenced Fascist thinking. The French Revolution was a major influence insofar as the Nazis saw themselves as fighting back against many of the ideas which it brought to prominence, especially liberalism, liberal democracy and racial equality, whereas on the other hand Fascism drew heavily on the revolutionary ideal of nationalism. Its relationship with other ideologies of its day were complex, often at once adversarial and focused on co-opting their more popular aspects. Fascists supported limited private property rights and the profit motive of capitalism, but sought to eliminate the autonomy of large-scale capitalism by consolidating power with the state. They shared many goals with and often allied with the conservatives of their day, along with Giovanni Giolitti 's Liberal Party [1] and often recruited from disaffected conservative ranks, but presented themselves as holding a more modern ideology, with less focus on things like traditional religion."

He even used a Latin alphabet, with the letters ć, h́, ś, ź (the same as in early drafts of Esperanto, later ĉ, ĥ, ŝ, ĵ) and ě for schwa. However, he concluded there was no future for such a project, and abandoned it, dedicating himself to Esperanto as a unifying language for all humankind. [ 1] Paul Wexler proposed that Esperanto was not an arbitrary pastiche of major European languages but a Latinate relexification of Yiddish, a native language of its founder. [ 2] This model is generally unsupported by mainstream linguists. [ 3]Development of the language before publication [ edit]Further information: Proto-Esperanto Zamenhof would later say that he had dreamed of a world language since he was a child. At first he considered a revival of Latin, but after learning it in school he decided it was too complicated to be a common means of international communication. When he learned English, he realised that verb conjugations were unnecessary, and that grammatical systems could be much simpler than he had expected."

The word “Surrealist” was coined by Guillaume Apollinaire in the early years of the 20th century the idea of surrealism could be summed up as “creativity without restriction.” The idea that creativity need not necessarily be bound by established tradition or structure, or even by rational thought. Surrealism mutated from Dada in world war one, in its early stages the movement was most prominent in Paris, but soon spread, effecting theatre, art and literature. Eventually growing beyond the arts themselves, developing into philosophy, and social theory as well as political thought and practice.

Booker T. Washington emerged as not only an educator but also a financial gatekeeper for African-American organizations seeking support from white philanthropists. Yet Washington's philosophy of becoming self-sufficient and not fighting racism was met with opposition by a group of educated African-American men who believed they needed to fight against racial injustice. Establishment of the Niagara Movement: The Niagara Movement was founded in 1905 by scholar W. E. B. Du Bois and journalist William Monroe Trotter who wanted to develop a militant approach to fighting inequality. Du Bois and Trotter purpose was to assemble at least 50 African-American men who did not agree with the philosophy of accommodation supported by Washington. The conference was to be held in an upstate New York hotel but when white hotel owners refused to reserve a room for their meeting, the men met on the Canada side of Niagara Falls. From this first meeting of almost thirty African-American business owners, teachers and other professionals, the Niagara Movement was formed. Key Achievements: First national African-American organization which aggressively petitioned for the civil rights of African-Americans. Published the newspaper Voice of the Negro."

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. The Communist Manifesto is an attempt by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels to explain communism, as well as its goals and the underlying motivation and theories of the movement. They argue that relationships between social classes rely on the means and methods of industry and production. Eventually, throughout history, the means of production inevitably outgrow the class system at the time, at which point a new and more relevant system is installed. Inherent to all of these class systems throughout history are the roles of oppressor and oppressed. Marx and Engels argue that the exploitation of one class of the other is the driving force behind all historical political developments. During these revolutions, a new class takes control and in so doing becomes the new ruling class. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels argue for an uprising of what they term the proletariat, which is essentially the working class, against the aristocratic bourgeoisie; who constitute the factory owners, landlords and industrialists who, through the regulation of wages as well as rents and commodities continually oppress the laborers."

"text": "\"Synopsis The most important Italian avant-garde art movement of the 20 th century, Futurism celebrated advanced technology and urban modernity. Committed to the new, its members wished to destroy older forms of culture and to demonstrate the beauty of modern life - the beauty of the machine, speed, violence and change. Although the movement did foster some architecture, most of its adherents were artists who worked in traditional media such as painting and sculpture, and in an eclectic range of styles inspired by Post-Impressionism. Nevertheless, they were interested in embracing popular media and new technologies to communicate their ideas. Their enthusiasm for modernity and the machine ultimately led them to celebrate the arrival of the First World War. By its end the group was largely spent as an important avant-garde, though it continued through the 1920s, and, during that time several of its members went on to embrace Fascism, making Futurism the only 20 th century avant-garde to have embraced far right politics. Key Ideas The Futurists were fascinated by the problems of representing modern experience, and strived to have their paintings evoke all kinds of sensations - and not merely those visible to the eye. At its best, Futurist art brings to mind the noise, heat and even the smell of the metropolis. Unlike many other modern art movements, such as Impressionism and Pointillism, Futurism was not immediately identified with a distinctive style. Instead its adherents worked in an eclectic manner, borrowing from various aspects of Post-Impressionism, including Symbolism and Divisionism."

This document, which the Second Continental Congress adopted on 4 July 1776, proclaimed the original thirteen American colonies independent of Great Britain and provided an explanation and justification of that step. Although it was first drafted as a revolutionary manifesto, Americans of later generations came to honor the Declaration less for its association with independence than for its assertion that \"\"all men are created equal\"\" and \"\"are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights,\"\" among which are \"\"life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,\"\" individual rights that went unmentioned in the federal Constitution and Bill of Rights. The Development of Independence The original thirteen British colonies of mainland North America moved toward independence slowly and reluctantly. The colonists were proud of being British and had no desire to be separated from a mother country with which they were united, as John Dickinson put it in his popular newspaper \"\"letters\"\" from \"\"a Farmer in Pennsylvania\"\" (1767–1768), \"\"by religion, liberty, laws, affections, relation, language and commerce.\"\" Not even the outbreak of war at Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts on 19 April 1775 produced calls for independence. In July of that year, the Second Continental Congress sent the King a petition for redress and reconciliation, which Dickinson drafted in conspicuously respectful language. The king did not formally answer to the petition. Instead, in a proclamation of August 23, 1775, he asserted that the colonists were engaged in an \"\"open and avowed rebellion.\"\" Then, on October 26, he told Parliament that the American rebellion was \"\"manifestly carried on for the purpose of establishing an independent Empire,\"\" and that the colonists' professions of loyalty to him and the \"\"parent State\"\" were \"\"meant only to amuse.\"\""

It proclaims the establishment of a Jewish state in Eretz Israel, named \"\"the State of Israel. \"\" It establishes provisional institutions of state governance: the Provisional Council of State and the Provisional Government.

"text": "Outing the Black Feminist Filmmaker in Julie Dash's Illusions Judylyn S. Ryan Department of English Ohio Wesleyan University First Page Full Text PDFFeminism is not simply a struggle to end male chauvinism or a movement to ensure that women have equal rights with men; it is a commitment to eradicating the ideology of domination that permeates Western culture on various levels—sex, race, and class, to name a few—and a commitment to reorganizing U. S. society so that the self‐development of people can take precedence over imperialism, economic expansion, and material desires.—bell hooks 1981, 194In the years since Julie Dash’s Daughters of the Dust ( 1991) was first released, the film has come to occupy a place of honor as an emblem of Black women’s admittance into the realm of mainstream cinema in the United States. 1 Toni Cade Bambara has described it as “an historical marker” for both the Black independent cinema movement and Black women’s cinema ( [1993] 1996 ). 2 Aside from its status as the first feature film by an African American woman director to be theatrically distributed, Daughters of the Dust is widely regarded as the model—thematically and technically—for Black women’s cinema. While the film clearly merits this distinction, Dash’s earlier work, Illusions ( 1982 ), offers a more complex vision and theoretical analysis of Black women’s cinema, of the responsibilities and challenges confronting Black women in the contemporary filmmaking industry, and of strategies for negotiating these. No other Black woman’s film offers as insightful and expansive a view of the political vision informing Black feminist filmmaking. Illusions begins with a long shot of an Oscar statuette glimmering in the dark and a female voice‐over, echoing Ralph Ellison’s 1949 essay, “The Shadow and the Act”: “To direct an attack upon Hollywood would indeed be to confuse portrayal with action, image with reality. In the beginning was not the shadow, but the act, and the province of Hollywood is not action but illusion” ( [1953] 1994 ). We then see a montage of documentary footage from World War II, followed by visuals of a film studio over which is superimposed the title “Hollywood 1942.” Dash thereby opens with three separate registers that together make up the complex narration of this film: the disembodied female narrator who blends the voice of the film’s main character, Mignon Duprée (Lonette Mc Kee), with the thoughts and assertions of its director, Dash; documentary film footage clearly referencing history, the “act” to which the voice‐over refers, and its illusory shadow on film; and, finally, Hollywood in 1942, the industry producing such “illusions.” In order to get at the complexity of this structure, I take “Hollywood 1942” to signal the beginning of a film within the overall film titled Illusions."

Subsequent redefinitions extended the term backwards to 1905 and also widened it to encompass the rest of Europe. Today the meaning has broadened even further to refer to architecture of any date or location that exhibits some of the qualities of the original movement such as; distortion, fragmentation or the communication of violent or overstressed emotion. [ 1]The style was characterised by an early- modernist adoption of novel materials, formal innovation, and very unusual massing, sometimes inspired by natural biomorphic forms, sometimes by the new technical possibilities offered by the mass production of brick, steel and especially glass. Many expressionist architects fought in World War I and their experiences, combined with the political turmoil and social upheaval that followed the German Revolution of 1919, resulted in a utopian outlook and a romantic socialist agenda. [ 2] Economic conditions severely limited the number of built commissions between 1914 and the mid-1920s, [3] resulting in many of the most important expressionist works remaining as projects on paper, such as Bruno Taut 's Alpine Architecture and Hermann Finsterlin 's Formspiels. Ephemeral exhibition buildings were numerous and highly significant during this period."

Lecture delivered in Brussels by André Breton on the 1st June 1934Comrades: The activity of our surrealist comrades in Belgium is closely allied with our own activity, and I am happy to be in their company this evening. Magritte, Mesens, Nougé, Scutenaire and Souris are among those whose revolutionary will—outside of all consideration of their agreement or disagreement with us on particular points—has been for us in Paris a constant reason for thinking that the surrealist project, beyond the limitations of space and time, can contribute to the efficacious reunification of all those who do not despair of the transformation of the world and who wish this transformation to be as radical as possible. At the beginning of the war of 1870 (he was to die four months later, aged twenty-four), the author of the Chants de Maldoror and of Poésies, Isidore Ducasse, better known by the name of Comte de Lautréamont, whose thought has been of the very greatest help and encouragement to myself and my friends throughout the fifteen years during which we have succeeded in carrying a common activity, made the following remark, among many others which were to electrify us fifty years later: \"\"At the hour in which I write, new tremors are running through the intellectual atmosphere; it is only a matter of having the courage to face them.\"\" 1868-75: it is impossible, looking back upon the past, to perceive an epoch so poetically rich, so victorious, so revolutionary and so charged with distant meaning as that which stretches from the separate publication of the Premier Chant de Maldoror to the insertion in a letter to Ernest Delahaye of Rimbaud's last poem, Rêve, which has not so far been included in his Complete Works. It is not an idle hope to wish to see the works of Lautréamont and Rimbaud restored to their correct historical background: the coming and the immediate results of the war of 1870. Other and analogous cataclysms could not have failed to rise out of that military and social cataclysm whose final episode was to be the atrocious crushing of the Paris Commune; the last in date caught many of us at the very age when Lautréamont and Rimbaud found themselves thrown into the preceding one, and by way of revenge has had as its consequence—and this is the new and important fact—the triumph of the Bolshevik Revolution. I should say that to people socially and politically uneducated as we then were—we who, on one hand, came for the most part from the petite-bourgeoisie, and on the other, were all by vocation possessed with the desire to intervene upon the artistic plane—the days of October, which only the passing of the years and the subsequent appearance of a large number of works within the reach of all were fully to illumine, could not there and then have appeared to turn so decisive a page in history. We were, I repeat, ill-prepared and ill-informed. Above all, we were exclusively preoccupied with a campaign of systematic refusal, exasperated by the conditions under which, in such an age, we were forced to live."

"text": "\"Space.com Science & Astronomy Reference: Jupiter's Moons: Facts About the Largest Jovian Moons By Kim Ann Zimmermann | July 5, 2012 05:33pm ETMOREThis montage shows the best views of Jupiter's four large and diverse \"\"Galilean\"\" satellites as seen by the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) on the New Horizons spacecraft during its flyby of Jupiter in late February 2007. The four moons are, from left to right: Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. The images have been scaled to represent the true relative sizes of the four moons and are arranged in their order from Jupiter. Credit: NASA/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/Southwest Research Institute With a total of 67 known moons — including four large moons known as the Galilean satellites — Jupiter almost qualifies as a solar system unto itself. Most of the moons of Jupiter are small, with about 50 of the satellites being less than 6.2 miles in diameter. The number of moons changes fairly frequently, with 66 and 67 being confirmed at the end of 2011. Most of the moons were discovered in the late 1970s and later as a result of several explorations by automated spacecraft, including NASA’s Voyager in 1979 and Galileo in 1995. Not only is Jupiter the largest planet in the solar system, it is also the most massive at more than 300 times the mass of Earth. Its size plays a role in the number of moons orbiting Jupiter because there is a large area of gravitational stability around it to support many moons. Jupiter also has the strongest magnetic field of any planet, so anything passing near it, such as an asteroid, is either destroyed by gravitational tides or captured into its orbit."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Scientific revolution)navigation search This article is about a period in the history of science. For the process of scientific progress via revolutions, proposed by Thomas Kuhn, see Paradigm shift. The Scientific Revolution was a series of events that marked the emergence of modern science during the early modern period, when developments in mathematics, physics, astronomy, biology (including human anatomy) and chemistry transformed the views of society about nature. [ 1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] The Scientific Revolution took place in Europe towards the end of the Renaissance period and continued through the late 18th century, influencing the intellectual social movement known as the Enlightenment. While its dates are debated, the publication in 1543 of Nicolaus Copernicus 's De revolutionibus orbium coelestium ( On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres) is often cited as marking the beginning of the Scientific Revolution. The concept of a scientific revolution taking place over an extended period emerged in the eighteenth century in the work of Jean Sylvain Bailly, who saw a two-stage process of sweeping away the old and establishing the new. [ 7] The beginning of the Scientific Revolution, the Scientific Renaissance, was focused on the recovery of the knowledge of the ancients; this is generally considered to have ended in 1632 with publication of Galileo 's Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems. [ 8] The completion of the Scientific Revolution is attributed to the \"\"grand synthesis\"\" of Isaac Newton 's 1687 Principia, that formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation, and completed the synthesis of a new cosmology.

[ 2]In 1610, Galileo published his Sidereus Nuncius (Starry Messenger), describing the surprising observations that he had made with the new telescope, namely the phases of Venus and the Galilean moons of Jupiter. With these observations he promoted the heliocentric theory of Nicolaus Copernicus (published in De revolutionibus orbium coelestium in 1543). Galileo's initial discoveries were met with opposition within the Catholic Church, and in 1616 the Inquisition declared heliocentrism to be formally heretical. Heliocentric books were banned and Galileo was ordered to refrain from holding, teaching or defending heliocentric ideas. [ 3]Galileo went on to propose a theory of tides in 1616, and of comets in 1619; he argued that the tides were evidence for the motion of the Earth. In 1632 Galileo, now an old man, published his Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, which implicitly defended heliocentrism, and was immensely popular. Responding to mounting controversy over theology, astronomy and philosophy, the Roman Inquisition tried Galileo in 1633 and found him \"\"vehemently suspect of heresy \"\", sentencing him to indefinite imprisonment. Galileo was kept under house arrest until his death in 1642.

Viewpoint: No, later scientists such as Nicolaus Copernicus and Galileo correctly realized that Earth moves around the Sun, not vice versa, and thus cannot be the center of the universe. It is easy in our human nature to believe that we are the center of the universe. A newborn infant must learn through experimentation and sensation that he is a part of the world, not the entirety. Any parent can attest that as children mature, they must be helped to understand that the universe does not revolve around them and their needs and desires. Even as adults, we often struggle to see the world from a perspective other than our own. Likewise, it was natural for ancient peoples to assume that the universe they observed was centered upon Earth.

After studying music in Venice he carried out experiments on strings to support his musical theories. Guilia, who was born in Pescia, married Vincenzo in 1563 and they made their home in the countryside near Pisa. Galileo was their first child and spent his early years with his family in Pisa. In 1572, when Galileo was eight years old, his family returned to Florence, his father's home town. However, Galileo remained in Pisa and lived for two years with Muzio Tedaldi who was related to Galileo's mother by marriage. When he reached the age of ten, Galileo left Pisa to join his family in Florence and there he was tutored by Jacopo Borghini. Once he was old enough to be educated in a monastery, his parents sent him to the Camaldolese Monastery at Vallombrosa which is situated on a magnificent forested hillside 33 km southeast of Florence. The Camaldolese Order was independent of the Benedictine Order, splitting from it in about 1012."

He was born in Pisa, and was the oldest of six children in his family. When he was a young man, his father sent him to study medicine at the University of Pisa, but Galileo studied mathematics instead. He later became professor and chair of mathematics at the University. Until about 1609 he taught mathematics, and made several discoveries in physics. He helped to mathematically describe ballistics, and the force of friction as it relates to motion. After experimenting with moving objects, he established his \"\"Principle of Inertia\"\", which was similar to Newton's First Law. Galileo then became interested in optics and astronomy, and in 1609 he built his first telescope and began making observations. The following year he published his first results, where he described the highlands and \"\"seas\"\" of the Moon, four of Jupiter's largest moons, and many newly discovered stars."

"text": "\"W hat were Galileo Galilei's conflicts with the Roman Catholic Church? It was not a simple conflict between science and religion, as usually portrayed. Rather it was a conflict between Copernican science and Aristotelian science which had become Church tradition. Galileo expressed his scientific views supporting Copernicus as well as his biblical views in a 1615 letter to the Grand Duchess of Tuscany which became the basis of his first Church trial and censure. A major work published in 1632 resulted in Galileo's conviction on suspicion of heresy and a lifetime house arrest. The Galileo affair provides important lessons and applications to the Church and to science today. Aristotle (384-322 B. C.) believed the universe is finite and spherical with a stationary Earth at its center. Enclosing the whole universe is the sphere of the Prime Motion turned by the First Unmoved Mover. Inside that were transparent spheres containing fixed and unchanging stars, planets, moon and sun. [ 1] Aristotle was also a renowned philosopher."

He observed the Great Comet of 1577 when he was six and the 1580 Lunar Eclipse, events that no doubt fueled his curiosity and enthusiasm for science. Although he originally wanted to be a minister and studied theology at the University of Tübingen, Kepler accepted a position in 1594 as a mathematics and astronomy teacher at a Protestant school in Graz, Austria. He later became an assistant to Tycho Brahe, the court mathematician to Emperor Rudolf II. Upon Tycho's death, Kepler inherited his position, as well as his extensive archive of planetary observations. Kepler is best known for discovering the three mathematical laws of planetary motion (\"\"Kepler's Laws\"\") that established the discipline of celestial mechanics. He also discovered the elliptical patterns in which the planets travel around the sun. At a time when the sun and other celestial bodies were still widely believed to circle the earth (geocentrism), Kepler defended Nicolaus Copernicus' theory that planets orbit the sun (heliocentrism) and sought to reconcile it with Scripture. 1 He revolutionized scientific thought by applying physics (then considered a branch of natural philosophy) to astronomy (seen as a branch of mathematics). An \"\"unorthodox\"\" Lutheran, Kepler had a deep love for Christ and the inspiration and authority of Scripture."

BIOGRAPHYGalileo was born in Pisa on February 15, 1564. His father, Vincenzo Galilei, played an important role in the musical revolution from medieval polyphony to harmonic modulation. Just as Vicenzo saw that rigid theory stifled new forms in music, so his oldest son came to see Aristotelian physical theology as limiting scientific inquiry. Galileo was thought by monks at Vallombrosa and then entered the University of Pisa in 1581 to study Medicine. He soon turned to Philosophy and Mathematics, leaving the University without a degree in 1585. For a time he tutored privately and wrote on hydrostatics and natural motions, but he did not publish. In 1589 he became Professor of Mathematics at Pisa where he is reported to have shown his students the error of Aristoteles’ belief that speed of fall is proportional to weight, by dropping two objects of different weight simultaneously from the leaning tower. His contract was not renewed in 1592, probably because he contradicted Aristotelian professors. The same year, he was appointed to the chair of Mathematics at the University of Padua, where he remained until 1610."

Credit: NASAItalian astronomer Galileo Galilei provided a number of scientific insights that laid the foundation for future scientists. His investigation of the laws of motion and improvements on the telescope helped further the understanding of the world and universe around him. Both led him to question the current belief of the time — that all things revolved around the Earth. [ See also our overview of Famous Astronomers and great scientists from many fields who have contributed to the rich history of discoveries in astronomy . ] Galileo's experiments The Ancient Greek philosopher, Aristotle, taught that heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones, a belief still held in Galileo's lifetime. But Galileo wasn't convinced. Experimenting with balls of different sizes and weights, he rolled them down ramps with various inclinations. His experiments revealed that all of the balls boasted the same acceleration independent of their mass. He also demonstrated that objects thrown in the air travel along a parabola."

"text": "\"Robert Boyle Lived 1627 – 1691. Robert Boyle put chemistry on a firm scientific footing, transforming it from a field bogged down in alchemy and mysticism into one based on measurement. He defined elements, compounds, and mixtures, and he coined the new term ‘chemical analysis,’ a field in which he made several powerful contributions. He discovered Boyle’s Law – the first of the gas laws – relating the pressure of a gas to its volume; he established that electrical forces are transmitted through a vacuum, but sound is not; and he also stated that the movement of particles is responsible for heat. He was the first person to write specific experimental guidance for other scientists, telling them the importance of achieving reliable, repeatable results. Advertisements Beginnings Robert Boyle was born into an aristocratic family on January 25, 1627 in Lismore Castle, in the small town of Lismore, Ireland. His father was Richard Boyle, who had arrived from England in 1588 with a modest sum of money. Through a good marriage and a high level of business acumen he had grown immensely wealthy and become a large-scale landowner. With land ownership came the aristocratic title Earl of Cork. The land he bought had been confiscated from rebellious Irish noblemen and commoners by the army of Queen Elizabeth I of England, who was also Queen of Ireland."

In the end, the ideas of Galileo and other scientists triumphed, because they were able to prove them to be true. Although his ideas triumphed, Galileo paid a high price for his science: he spent the last eight years of his life under house arrest, and the Catholic Church banned the publication of anything written by him.

However, insofar as ideas spawned by the movement — ideas about God, authority, order and freedom — are ones held by the majority of Americans today, there is a real sense in which it can be said that the Age of the Enlightenment is not over, that we are still living in it. This is still more the case since the Declaration of Independence and U. S. Constitution, documents on which our national government and political system are based, were born of the Enlightenment and imbued with its ideas. Some of those ideas, which are alien to traditional Catholic belief and traditional Catholic philosophical and political thought, are the subject of this article. Talking about them as we ought, which is to say critically, will not be entirely easy for the simple reason that they are so much a part of the nation and world in which we live. We lack the perspective that distance between us and the ideas would provide. This is so even if we are Catholic. Indeed, it was necessary a few lines ago to speak of traditional Catholic belief and traditional Catholic philosophical and political thought because much of what now passes for Catholic belief and thought is the result of a systematic effort made by leading Catholic figures in this country to adjust Church teaching to Enlightenment ideas. Further, if the ideas were adopted in America after originating in Europe and England, they backwashed from here to the Universal Church at Vatican II, notably in the Council’s promulgation of its Declaration on Religious Liberty, so that it is no longer possible, as it was a century ago when Pope Leo XIII condemned the heresy of Americanism in his Apostolic Letter Testem Benevolentiae , to contrast the Church in this country with the Church as she is in the rest of the world."

His formulation of (circular) inertia, the law of falling bodies, and parabolic trajectories marked the beginning of a fundamental change in the study of motion. His insistence that the book of nature was written in the language of mathematics changed natural philosophy from a verbal, qualitative account to a mathematical one in which experimentation became a recognized method for discovering the facts of nature. Finally, his discoveries with the telescope revolutionized astronomy and paved the way for the acceptance of the Copernican heliocentric system, but his advocacy of that system eventually resulted in an Inquisition process against him.

The family moved to Florence in the early 1570s, where the Galilei family had lived for generations. In his middle teens Galileo attended the monastery school at Vallombrosa, near Florence, and then in 1581 matriculated at the University of Pisa, where he was to study medicine. However, he became enamoured with mathematics and decided to make the mathematical subjects and philosophy his profession, against the protests of his father. Galileo then began to prepare himself to teach Aristotelian philosophy and mathematics, and several of his lectures have survived."

"text": "Davidson: Philosophy of Language Donald Davidson (1917-2003) was one of the most influential analytic philosophers of language during the second half of the twentieth century and the first decade of the twenty-first century. An attraction of Davidson’s philosophy of language is the set of conceptual connections he draws between traditional questions about language and issues that arise in other fields of philosophy, including especially the philosophy of mind, action theory, epistemology, and metaphysics. This article addresses only his work on the philosophy of language, but one should bear in mind that this work is properly understood as part of a larger philosophical endeavor. It is useful to think of Davidson’s project in the philosophy of language as cleaving into two parts. The first, which commences with his earliest publications in the field (Davidson 1965 and 1967), explores and defends his claim that a Tarski-style theory of truth for a language L, modified and supplemented in important ways, suffices to explain how the meanings of the sentences of a language L depend upon the meanings of words of L, and thus models a significant part of the knowledge someone possesses when she understands L. In other words, Davidson claims that we can adapt a Tarski-style theory of truth to do duty for a theory of meaning. This claim, which is stronger and more complex than it appears at first reading, is examined in section 1. The second part of Davidson’s work on language (in articles beginning with Davidson 1973 and 1974) addresses issues associated with constructing the sort of meaning theory he proposes in the first part of his project. A Davidsonian theory of meaning is an empirical theory that one constructs to interpret─that is, to describe, systematize, and explain─the linguistic behavior of speakers one encounters in the field or, simply, in line at the supermarket. Again, this problem turns out to be more complex and more interesting than it first appears. This set of issues is examined in section 2."

Born February 15, 1564 and died January 8, 1642, Galileo Galilei was an Italian physicist and astronomer who made many theories and contributions to science today. Galileo was born in Pisa in 1564, the first of six children of Vincenzo Galilei, a musician and scholar What He Did In 1609, he created the first ever astronomical telescope with a simple magnifying tool grinder. Education In 1581 he entered the University of Pisa to study medicine, but was soon sidetracked by mathematics. He went back to the school in 1610 to teach physics and mathematics. Where Was He From? Venice, the most beautiful place to live at the time Discoveries After creating his new tool, the telescope, he made many discoveries, such as that the moon had an uneven mountainous surface, and that the milky way was made up of numerous stars.

Sources connected with the comedian tell TMZ ... he spoke with a doctor friend of his Wednesday late afternoon, complaining he was not feeling well. The doctor was concerned enough that he came to Shandling's home and checked him out. Garry complained he was achy and short of breath. He did not complain of chest pains. The doctor told Garry if he was not feeling well the next day he should go to the ER to check it out. Garry said if he wasn't feeling better he'd probably go sometime Thursday afternoon. In a recent appearance on Jerry Seinfeld 's \"\"Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee,\"\" Shandling cracked a joke about having hyperparathyroidism ... which, according to the Mayo Clinic, can lead to cardiovascular disease. TMZ broke the story, Garry called 911 Thursday at around 10:30 AM and fell unconscious during the call. Paramedics responded, broke his door down and found him unresponsive."

The year 2016 saw the deaths of an unusually long list of political titans and sports icons, famous musicians and Hollywood greats. “If we consider the body of people that are nationally known and recognized, and consider that as a certain kind of family,” said Robert Thompson, a professor of pop culture at Syracuse University, “2016 was a really, really bad year for the family.”- Muhammad Ali, the heavyweight boxing champion who transformed himself into a global hero, died June 3 at 74. Ali, who fought a high-profile battle with Parkinson’s disease, died of septic shock. Michael Jackson, Prince, Bowie among highest-paid dead celebs Muhammad Ali died June 3 at age 74. ( Trevor Humphries/Getty Images)- The death of Fidel Castro, the cigar-chomping despot who ruled Communist Cuba for nearly half a century, sent shock waves around the world. Castro died Nov. 25 at 90.- The sudden demise of Prince shocked fans from Minnesota to Mozambique. The 57-year-old singer-songwriter-hitmaker was found dead in his Paisley Park, Minn., home on April 21. Toxicology reports revealed that Prince died of an accidental prescription drug overdose.- David Bowie, the British rocker whose sound and style defied categorization, died Jan. 10 after a secret battle with cancer."

"text": "Comedian, actor, writer and producer Garry Shandling, known for “It’s Garry Shandling ’s Show” and “The Larry Sanders Show,” died Thursday, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed. He was 66. A spokesman for the LAPD said they received a 911 call from Shandling’s home on Thursday, saying the comedian suffered from a “medical emergency.” He later died at an L. A. hospital. Shandling wasn’t known to be suffering from any illnesses, and just a few days ago retweeted Kathy Griffin’s photo of himself, her and Bob Odenkirk. The influential comedian was known for his neurotic observational humor, particularly about romantic relationships, and his no-holds-barred skewering of showbiz in his inventive TV shows. “ The Larry Sanders Show” was one of the early pillars of HBO’s original series strategy, garnering Emmy Awards and critical acclaim during its 1992-1998 run. Born in Chicago, Shandling was raised in Tucson, Ariz., and started out majoring in electrical engineering before completing a marketing degree at the University of Arizona. After moving to Los Angeles, he sold a script for “Sanford and Son” and also wrote for “Welcome Back, Kotter.” He guest-hosted on “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” and was in consideration to become Carson’s replacement."

"text": "\"The Death of M*A*S*H’s Col. Henry Blake Did the cast of 'M*A*S*H' not learn of the death of Col. Henry Blake until they were actually filming the scene in which it was announced?769CLAIMThe cast of M*A*S*H did not learn of Col. Blake's death until they were actually filming the scene in which it was announced. 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.) But a major reason why characters didn’t die was simply because death was considered too serious a subject for the primarily light-hearted TV fare of the era. Bit players or guest stars might die, but series regulars were typically written out by having them go somewhere that took them away from a program’s setting: they moved away to take jobs in other cities, they went off to college, they got married and left home, or they took extended trips abroad."

Member Date Department of History ABSTRACT The 1960s movement in jazz, known as the “New Thing,” “New Black Music,” or “Free Jazz,” marked not only another moment of American jazz music’s evolution of styles seen throughout the century, but on an ideological level, it illustrated a marked shift in perceptions of reality in both the music and society. Using postcolonial theory, Free Jazz musicians represented a movement for de-colonization, akin to the civil rights movement, within jazz and American society. Beyond postcolonialism, a second shift involved Free Jazz’s personification of postmodern culture, specifically its dismissal of genre boundaries and pluralistic outlook toward expression, as well as the inclusion of non-jazz elements into performance. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ..................................................................................................................... ii TABLE OF CONTENTS................................................................................................. iii Chapter I.

She came to fame as a child star but found out soon enough that early fame often has its own pitfalls. Best known as Kimberly Drummond, the older sister on TV's \"\"Diff'rent Strokes,\"\" Dana went through a lot while never quite escaping the scrutiny of the media and fans. Dana Michelle Plato was born in Maywood, California on November 7, 1964. Her birth mother (Linda Strain who was a 16-year-old unwed mother already struggling to support an 18-month-old child) gave her up for adoption as an infant and she was taken in by a Southern California couple (adopted by Dean and Florine 'Kay' Plato in June 1965) who soon enough guided her into acting. Dana landed roles on over 100 TV commercials as a child, including appearances for KFC, Arco and Dole bananas. Her questionable luck kicked in early on -- Dana was chosen for the lead role in \"\"The Exorcist\"\" but her adoptive mother refused to let her appear in such a film. So while Linda Blair went on to huge stardom, Dana was left with roles in flicks like 1975's \"\"Beyond the Bermuda Triangle.\"\" ( Dana did grab a small part in \"\"Exorcist II: The Heretic,\"\" a film that has been voted one of the worst of all time.) The Bittersweet Irony of the Hollywood Machine Dana's fortunes began to turn when she was spotted by a producer during a brief appearance on TV's \"\"The Gong Show.\"\""

She was also the first black licensed pilot in the world. Ms. Coleman was married briefly to Charles Wilson Pankey. Birth & Early Life Born in Atlanta, Texas, Coleman was the twelfth of thirteen children. Her father, George Coleman, was three-quarter Choctaw Indian. Her parents were sharecroppers yet her early childhood was a happy one, spent playing in the front yard or on the porch. Sunday mornings and afternoons were spent at church. As the other children began to age and find work in the fields, Bessie assumed responsibilities around the house. She looked after her sisters, helped her mother, Susan Coleman, work in her garden, and performed many of the everyday chores of running the house. Bessie began school at the age of six and had to walk 4 miles each day to her all-black, one-room school."

"text": "\"Bigfoot at 50 Evaluating a Half-Century of Bigfoot Evidence Tweet Feature Benjamin Radford Skeptical Inquirer Volume 26.2, March / April 2002The question of Bigfoot’s existence comes down to the claim that “Where there’s smoke there’s fire.” The evidence suggests that there are enough sources of error that there does not have to be a hidden creature lurking amid the unsubstantiated cases. Though sightings of the North American Bigfoot date back to the 1830s (Bord 1982), interest in Bigfoot grew rapidly during the second half of the twentieth century. This was spurred on by many magazine articles of the time, most seminally a December 1959 True magazine article describing the discovery of large, mysterious footprints the year before in Bluff Creek, California. A half century later, the question of Bigfoot’s existence remains open. Bigfoot is still sought, the pursuit kept alive by a steady stream of sightings, occasional photos or footprint finds, and sporadic media coverage. But what evidence has been gathered over the course of fifty years? And what conclusions can we draw from that evidence? Most Bigfoot investigators favor one theory of Bigfoot’s origin or existence and stake their reputations on it, sniping at others who don't share their views. Many times, what one investigator sees as clear evidence of Bigfoot another will dismiss out of hand."

Coleman was born on January 26, 1892 in Atlanta, Texas, to a family of cotton field tenant farmers. In addition to overcoming a world of poverty and discrimination, she also managed to become a licensed pilot. Here are five things you didn't know about this remarkable woman:1. Bessie traveled to France in order to become a pilot When Coleman moved to Chicago to live with her brothers, she was surrounded by soldiers returning from World War I who recounted their flying adventures. It was then when she first became interested in a career in aviation. But every flying school Bessie approached in America refused to enroll her as a student because she was both black and a woman. On November 20, 1920, she moved from New York to Paris to pursue her dream of flying.2. It took Coleman only seven months to learn how to fly Bessie was taught on a biplane that often failed, even while up in the air. During her training, she witnessed a classmate die in a plane crash."

It was first reported that Coleman had suffered a fall and was rushed to the hospital. Now it appears that he had a fatal Intracranial Hemorrhage due to that fall.

An Intracranial hemorrhage can occur after a fall, in the case of Gary Coleman, or spontaneously, as in the recent case of singer Bret Michaels. A Brain Bleed such as this can be fatal within hours, or leave the victim with numerous disabilities, such as: Hemiparesis/Hemiplegia: It is common, following a stroke for one side of the body to experience weakness or paralysis.

If you are lucky, pop culture allows you a gradual and comforting decline in popularity as you exit the limelight. But for other celebrities, the journey into mediocrity and obscurity comes all too fast. Here are 13 former stars who all hit their initial stride with no problem, yet couldn’t stop themselves from falling down that mountain of talent just as they had reached the peak.1. Orson Welles There was a time when Orson Welles was, for all intents and purposes, the greatest celebrity in all of Hollywood. He wrote, directed, produced and starred in Citizen Kane, regarded by many as the greatest film ever made. Yes, he was more popular than Carrot Top. And then he ended up playing a disembodied robot head. What lead to Welles’s downfall is hard to pinpoint, although it may have been in a bottle somewhere. After Kane, his career had many ups and downs, from self financed films that took years to complete and in many cases were never completed, to Touch of Evil, another masterpiece that netted him critical praise, despite him saying the studio took it from him."

"text": "Music Ornette Coleman, Saxophonist Who Rewrote the Language of Jazz, Dies at 85By BEN RATLIFF JUNE 11, 2015Ornette Coleman performing at the Village Vanguard in 1961. Sam Falk/The New York Times Ornette Coleman, the alto saxophonist and composer who was one of the most powerful and contentious innovators in the history of jazz, died on Thursday in Manhattan. He was 85. The cause was cardiac arrest, a family representative said. Mr. Coleman widened the options in jazz and helped change its course. Partly through his example in the late 1950s and early ’ 60s, jazz became less beholden to the rules of harmony and rhythm and gained more distance from the American songbook repertoire. His own music, then and later, embodied a new type of highly informed folk song: deceptively simple melodies for small groups with an intuitive, collective musical language and a strategy for playing without preconceived chord sequences. In 2007, he won the Pulitzer Prize for his album “Sound Grammar. ”His early work — a personal answer to his fellow alto saxophonist and innovator Charlie Parker — lay right within the jazz tradition and generated a handful of standards for jazz musicians of the last half-century. But he later challenged assumptions about jazz from top to bottom, bringing in his own ideas about instrumentation, process and technical expertise."

It was the kind of voice that the ear follows up and down as if each speech is an arrangement of notes that will never be played again. Her face was sad and lovely with bright things in it, bright eyes and a bright passionate mouth--but there was an excitement in her voice that men who had cared for her found difficult to forget: a singing compulsion, a whispered \"\"Listen,\"\" a promise that she had done gay, exciting things just a while since and that there were gay, exciting things hovering in the next hour.” ("

Open Document Chapter One In Chapter One, F. Scott Fitzgerald mainly uses detail to introduce the setting and characters. For example, when introducing the main setting of the book, he describes his house as squeezed between two huge places that rented for twelve or fifteen thousand a season. ( 9). One of these houses was Gatsby's. This detail gives the reader an idea of what kind of town this was, and what kind of people lived in it. Fitzgerald also uses detail to introduce characters. When introducing Daisy, one of the main characters, he says that she had bright eyes and a bright passionate mouth with an excitement in her voice that men who cared for her found difficult to forget... (14). These details show that Daisy is obviously a character hard to forget, foreshadowing future events with her in the book. When he first mentions Gatsby he describes him saying \"\"if personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures then there was something gorgeous about him\"\" (6) This shows how Gatsby is looked up to in the town, and he says himself he is never met him but there is the rumors spread about his mystery. You also see Nick's attraction to Miss Baker saying her voice \"\"compelled [him] forward breathlessly as [he] listened\"\" (18)."

Open Document During The Great Gatsby it was apparent that Tom and Daisy had an unstable relationship. While reading the novel, I questioned the reason behind the continuation of their relationship. Tom and Daisy are from the same world and are united by a background of money, and in a bizarre way I think they might have loved one another. Tom and Daisy both came from the upper crust of society. Daisy married Tom because his house was covered with ivy. Tom was from the old money; his family had been wealthy for many years. Daisy claims that she was in love with Gatsby, but he did not have the money she was expected to marry. Therefore, when Tom was introduced to Daisy, she saw an opportunity to marry a person she could love and who was wealthy enough to provide the life she was accustomed to. At the beginning, when Daisy is talking to Nick on the porch, Nick’s wording was interesting. Nick talks about the restless way her eyes flashed, resembling Tom’s habit, and her whole performance pleased her because it represented their \"\"membership in a rather secret society to which she and Tom belonged.\"\""

"text": "\"F. Scott Fitzgerald – A Brief Examination of Alcoholism in a Literary Icon January 31, 2012 5 Comments8 Votes“First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald The 20 th century was a shining moment for American literature. Great literary figures had grown up in the States in the previous one hundred twenty-five years of the nation’s history, but it wasn’t until the 1900s that American authors truly began to challenge European authors (especially the British) on the international literary stage. One of the most prominent novelists of his age, F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote what some consider the definitive American novel, yet gnawing at the edge of his talent was an addiction that would eventually overshadow his greatest achievements. Francis Scott Fitzgerald had an uneventful birth, but his childhood was still troubled, mostly because he “grew up embarrassed by his mother and alternatively proud and ashamed of his father.” [ 1] This shame derived from the fact that his parents were not among the upper echelon of society. From an early age, Fitzgerald believed that he must find a way of inserting himself among the moneyed and influential classes, a preoccupation that filled much of his writing, though not without its fair share of critical consideration. While his first and largely autobiographical novel, This Side of Paradise, depicts a young college “egotist” attempting to fit in among the Ivy League, his third and most highly regarded novel, The Great Gatsby, paints a rather grim picture of the rich and their utter disregard for decency and human collateral. That is not to say that Fitzgerald rejected wealth and its excesses, only that it never quite lived up to his childhood aspirations. Fitzgerald flat out rejected his Irish ethnic heritage, almost certainly because it set him apart from those in high society."

"text": "\"The Role of Women In The Great Gatsby, Women play a significant role in the development of the story. Through various characters, Fitzgerald conveys specific attributes of women in various levels of society. While Daisy shows a woman’s insincerity and obsession with wealth, Myrtle reflects the shallow qualities of women by throwing herself at upper class men and whining for materialistic goods. Jordan shows a woman’s accepted dishonesty in the 1920’s. Through these women, we are able to stereotype and generalize the primary traits of women in the time period. Important passages and information are outlined in this page. Specific ideas and concepts are highlighted for visual enhancement.

Open Document Buying Happiness and Love in Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby The American Dream is starting with nothing and through hard work and determination one can achieve millions of dollars and all the happiness one can handle. This may not be true, if that person tries to buy the past to regain the happiness he will never succeed and mostly likely end up very unhappy. A good example of this in fiction is F. Scott Fitzgerald's, The Great Gatsby. Fitzgerald criticizes the American dream in his novel, The Great Gatsby, by showing Jay Gatsby's tragic flaw, his belief that money can buy happiness and his love for Daisy. The first example of Gatsby's belief that money can buy his happiness is when Nick Carraway describes the subdivision in which he lives, West Egg. The subdivision across the water is East Egg. The houses are very luxurious to say the least. On the other hand, there is a distinction between the two. The West Egg house are more recently built and are elaborately decorated, where as the houses in East Egg are still as big but very conservative in architecture. The two neighborhoods represent the division in the upper class at this time in America."

Scott Fitzgerald lies next to a major thoroughfare for commuters between Rockville, Md., and Washington, D. C. Jess Gitner/NPREvery weekday, thousands of commuters to the nation's capital drive past the grave of a celebrated American author, and it's a good bet they don't realize it. F. Scott Fitzgerald, the author of The Great Gatsby, was born in St. Paul, Minn.; he's associated with that city, as well as Paris, the Riviera and New York. But he's buried in Rockville, Md., outside Washington, D. C., next to a highway between strip malls and train tracks. Scott Fitzgerald, as he was known, was the prime chronicler of the Jazz Age of the Roaring '20s. He wrote of insouciant youth, flappers and millionaires — a postwar generation of young Americans skeptical of its elders and eager to embrace a prosperous age. With his wife, Zelda, Fitzgerald became an emblem of the era, living out many of its excesses. His first novel, This Side of Paradise, begun while he was an undergraduate at Princeton University, earned acclaim among critics and instantly brought the author wealth and notoriety. He followed that with The Beautiful and the Damned and The Great Gatsby, one of the most celebrated books of American literature. Gatsby was followed by two other novels and 180 short stories. But Fitzgerald's heavy drinking took a toll on his health and wealth, as well as his critical reputation."

A set up Noel with the tests so he couldn’t tell the principal about the teacher/student relationship. A tried to help get Jackie out of the picture. A almost seems proud of Aria for dating her teacher with texts like ‘lucky you some students have to do homework, but you get to do the teacher.’ Whereas other relationships receive less friendly texts … especially Haleb. Aria sent a text to Ezra mentioning wanting to look into his eyes, and A is known for having pretty eyes. He has a typewriter in his apartment. The song Jenna played for The Bad Seed was playing in the hotel room next to Toby and Spencer. This easily could have been a Toby job, but it’s likely Ezra (the director of the play) had a copy of her music and could have put that together as well."

Wondering if he were sick I went over to find out — an unfamiliar butler with a villainous face squinted at me suspiciously from the door. “Is Mr. Gatsby sick?”“Nope.” After a pause he added “sir” in a dilatory, grudging way. “I hadn’t seen him around, and I was rather worried.

It distances the author from the narrator because he wants to keep himself he in good terms with his wealthy friends.

"text": "\"Unearthing an Inner Meaning in the Final Lines of The Great Gatsby In The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, there is a distinct development of emotions and symbols, and one of the key vehicles for illustrating this change is the final line of each chapter. Hidden within each final sentence lies an inner message that either pulls together a major theme in the chapter leading up to the sentence, or is a harbinger of the coming chapters. Beginning with the final word in chapter one, “darkness” (21), and concluding with the novel’s final word, “past” (180), Fitzgerald uses simple closing words to represent a deeper, continuous meaning that pervades the book. By doing this, Fitzgerald is able to outline major themes in the novel, including facial expressions, honesty, and balance. Most clearly and powerfully, however, the outline of lightness through positive imagery and darkness through negative imagery is presented in the final lines of each chapter. By grouping the chapters by hopefulness shown in their respective final lines, a trend is apparent. In chapters one through three, the final lines provide a dark, sullen preview for the chapters to come, while chapter four provides a transition into the final lines of chapters five and six, which signify a brief sense of giddiness that begins to darken. Finally, the last lines of chapters seven through nine mark the development and completion of the violent “holocaust” (162). Supplying a preview at the end of chapter one as to the violence to occur later in the novel, Nick says he is “alone again in the unquiet darkness” (21). By stating the word “darkness” at the end of the first chapter, Fitzgerald can ultimately emphasize the fact that eventually, the plot will take a cold, deep, serious turn for the worse."

As evidence for the latter, they’ll point to his career. Not the obvious one — his “Taxi” gig or his quick-flaming stint on “Saturday Night Live” (which ended with the audience voting him off the show as part of a stunt he suggested, not thinking it would go that way). Even at the height of his success, Kaufman told any reporter who’d listen that all that flashy stuff was just to support his real work: his high-concept live act. It’s a long and sublimely silly list. Take the times Kaufman read The Great Gatsby aloud until the audience hissed and booed. “ Would you rather listen to a tape?” he’d ask (they always said yes). But the tape simply turned out to be a recording of him reading The Great Gatsby. There was his Carnegie Hall special, after which he invited the entire audience — all 2,800 of them, including Andy Warhol — to a meticulously planned snack of milk and cookies."

His parents were shiftless and unsuccessful farm people – his imagination never really accepted them as his parents at all. The truth was that Jay Gatsby of West Egg came from his Platonic Conception of himself. He was a son of God – a phrase which, if it means anything, means just that – and he must be about His Father’s business, the service of a vast, vulgar and meretricious beauty. So he invented just the sort of Jay Gatsby that a seventeen-year-old boy would be likely to invent, and to this conception he was faithful to the end.” “ the vague contour of Jay Gatsby which had filled out to the substantiality of a man” (p.97) “contour”- an outline “substantiality” – materiality, substance Context: Said after Gatsby is cheated of the money by Ella Kaye.

In a château, General Georges Broulard ( Adolphe Menjou ), a member of the French General Staff, asks his subordinate, the ambitious General Mireau ( George Macready ), to send his division on a suicide mission to take a well-defended German position called the \"\"Anthill.\"\" Mireau initially refuses, citing the impossibility of success, but when Broulard mentions a potential promotion, Mireau quickly convinces himself the attack will succeed. Mireau proceeds to walk through the trenches, asking several soldiers, \"\"Ready to kill more Germans?\"\" He throws a disturbed private (Fred Bell) out of the regiment for showing signs of shell shock, which Mireau denies the existence of. Mireau leaves the detailed planning of the attack to the 701st Regiment’s Colonel Dax ( Kirk Douglas ), despite Dax's protests that the only result of the attack will be to weaken the French Army with heavy losses for no benefit."

"text": "\"Vengeance is Mine| Roger Ebert January 17, 2008 | 1Print Page Tweet The title \"\"Vengeance Is Mine\"\" poses an implied question that is never answered: Vengeance for what? This portrait of a cold-blooded serial killer suggests a cruel force without motivation, inspiration, grievance. Unlike most sociologically oriented films in the true crime genre, it lacks the Freudian explanation for everything and shows us pure evil, remote and inhuman. A few scenes from the killer's boyhood feel almost like satirical demonstrations of how any \"\"explanation\"\" would be impossible. The 1979 film details the violent career of Akira Nishiguchi, who committed a series of murders in Japan in late 1963 and early 1964. Named Iwao Enokizu in the film, he is played by the powerful actor Ken Ogata, who uses two dominant emotional states, passivity and rage. Sometimes he can be persuasive and even charming, but only to gain his goals of theft or murder. His face is a mask concealing --what? Perhaps concealing nothing. Advertisement The film is by Shohei Imamura (1926-2006), considered with such as Ozu, Kurosawa and Mizoguchi among the greatest Japanese directors."

He was a film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times from 1967 until his death in 2013. In 1975, Ebert became the first film critic to win the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism. Ebert and Chicago Tribune critic Gene Siskel helped popularize nationally televised film reviewing when they co-hosted the PBS show Sneak Previews, followed by several variously named At the Movies programs. The two verbally sparred and traded humorous barbs while discussing films. They created and trademarked the phrase \"\"Two Thumbs Up,\"\" used when both hosts gave the same film a positive review. After Siskel died in 1999, Ebert continued hosting the show with various co-hosts and then, starting in 2000, with Richard Roeper. Neil Steinberg of the Chicago Sun-Times said Ebert \"\"was without question the nation's most prominent and influential film critic\"\", [1] Tom Van Riper of Forbes described him as \"\"the most powerful pundit in America\"\", [2] and Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times called him \"\"the best-known film critic in America\"\".

Siskel died of complications resulting from his May 1998 brain surgery. The bulk of his estate was, as expected, left to his wife and children; Marlene Siskel, Kate (15), Callie (13) and Will (3). According to public records filed by in chancery court in Chicago, Gene Siskel asked that he be buried with his thumb pointing upward. The “Thumbs Up” was the Siskel-Ebert trademark. “Gene wanted to be remembered as a Thumbs-Up kind of guy”, said Siskel’s lawyer. “ It wasn’t surprising to me that he’d ask for that.

Jimmy \"\"Popeye\"\" Doyle (Hackman) and his partner, Buddy Russo (Roy Scheider), are New York City police detectives on narcotics detail, trying to track down the source of heroin from Europe into the United States. Suave Alain Charnier (Fernando Rey) is the French drug kingpin who provides a large percentage of New York City's dope, and Pierre Nicoli (Marcel Bozzuffi) is a hired killer and Charnier's right-hand man. Acting on a hunch, Popeye and Buddy start tailing Sal Boca (Tony Lo Bianco) and his wife, Angie (Arlene Faber), who live pretty high for a couple whose corner store brings in about 7,000 dollars a year. It turns out Popeye's suspicions are right -- Sal and Angie are the New York agents for Charnier, who will be smuggling 32 million dollars' worth of heroin into the city in a car shipped over from France. The French Connection broke plenty of new ground for screen thrillers; Popeye Doyle was a highly unusual \"\"hero,\"\" an often violent, racist, and mean-spirited cop whose dedication to his job fell just short of dangerous obsession. The film's high point, a high-speed car chase with Popeye tailing an elevated train, was one of the most viscerally exciting screen moments of its day and set the stage for dozens of action sequences to follow. And the film's grimy realism (and downbeat ending) was a big change from the buff-and-shine gloss and good-guys-always-win heroics of most police dramas that preceded it."

It was suggested that the character of John \"\"Duke\"\" Mardukas be changed to a woman, and be played by Cher, who had had recent box-office success with The Witches of Eastwick (1987), Suspect (1987), and Moonstruck (1987). It was felt that casting Cher opposite De Niro would lend some \"\"sexual overtones\"\" to the relationship between the two characters. Director Martin Brest however, rejected the gender switch idea, so Paramount Pictures suggested giving the role to Robin Williams, who had recently had a big hit with Good Morning, Vietnam (1987). Williams read and liked the script, and agreed to audition. In the meantime, however, Brest had auditioned the less famous Charles Grodin, and had liked Grodin's interaction with De Niro. As such, Brest cast Grodin without auditioning Williams, and Paramount Pictures decided to drop out of the project, selling the rights to Universal, who went ahead with the De Niro and Grodin casting.86 of 86 found this interesting | Share this The idea to have Jack Walsh ( Robert De Niro) continually checking his watch, and the whole back-story related to his habit, was all De Niro's own idea.84 of 84 found this interesting | Share this Charles Grodin has permanent scars resulting from the real handcuffs he had to wear for a great deal of the film.88 of 89 found this interesting | Share this The boxcar scene where Jack Walsh ( Robert De Niro) and John Mardukas ( Charles Grodin) discuss whether or not they could ever be friends, was almost entirely improvised on-set. As regards Grodin's famous, \"\"You ever had sex with an animal, Jack?\"\" line, he was told by Director Martin Brest to come up with something that was guaranteed to make even Robert De Niro laugh.77 of 78 found this interesting | Share this John Ashton said that Robert De Niro got into the part so much, that during the fight scene on the train, De Niro actually hit him.46 of 46 found this interesting | Share this After doing The Untouchables (1987), Robert De Niro was looking for some lighter material to do next. Initially, he wanted to play the lead in Penny Marshall 's Big (1988), but the studio wasn't interested in having De Niro play the role."

"text": "Remembering ‘Rain Man’: The $350 Million Movie That Hollywood Wouldn’t Touch Today Movies January 9, 2014by Matt Patches Facebook Twitter Print“There wasn’t anything special about it. ”That’s producer Mark Johnson on Rain Man, his sixth collaboration with writer-director Barry Levinson. But Johnson wasn’t quite right. Twenty-five years ago, Rain Man — a talky drama about two very different brothers on a road trip — won the Academy Award for Best Picture and soon became the highest-grossing movie released in 1988.“ [ During the filming] I remember a few crew members came to me after a particularly poignant scene and they said, ‘This film is going to win an Oscar,'” Johnson recalls. “ And I said, ‘What? I’m just hoping it goes through the gate. '” Rain Man ’s gargantuan success erupted from a languescent industry to become one of the most incredible success stories of its era. How did it happen? The movie’s domination of the American box office would have been believable in the 1970s, when small, personal dramas like Love Story and Kramer vs. Kramer climbed to no."

"text": "Total Recall Total Recall: The 15 Greatest Paul Newman Movies RT chooses our favorite movies starring the legendary actor.by Jeff Giles | October 1, 2008 | Comments Paul Newman’s passing last weekend saddened film fans all over the world — including your friends at Rotten Tomatoes, where we decided that a fond look back at Mr. Newman’s distinguished career would be just the thing for this week’s Total Recall. Of course, we’re talking about a man who starred in five decades’ worth of films, and we went in knowing there was no way we’d be able to give you even a loosely comprehensive guide to his best performances; in fact, just choosing the 15 movies we ultimately opted to cover here was a difficult process. Consider this, then, a very brief introduction to a large, robust body of work. After you’re finished reliving this selection of high points, take a look at his complete filmography.more info…Somebody Up There Likes Me (1956)Tomatometer: 80%Newman got his first big break with this 1956 boxing picture, based on the life and career of the legendary pugilist Rocky Graziano. The part of Rocky Barbella originally belonged to James Dean, but after Dean’s death in a 1955 car accident, the filmmakers turned to Newman at the last minute — and the result was this minor sports classic, which jump-started Newman’s career (as well as the careers of Steve Mc Queen, Robert Loggia, and Frank Campanella, all of whom make their screen debuts here). He clearly hadn’t yet mastered the powerfully minimalistic style that would become his trademark — and the film is perhaps, as Filmcritic’s Christopher Null argues, “straightforward and simplistic” — but in the morally conflicted boxer from the wrong side of the tracks, Newman found a character whose shades of gray would color the rest of his career.more info…The Long, Hot Summer (1958)Tomatometer: 86%Newman’s long streak of rakishly lovable ne’er-do-wells begins with this tense, drawn-out mishmash of several William Faulkner stories that pits Newman’s mysterious drifter against the machinations of the wealthiest man in town (Orson Welles, sporting a fake nose). The Long, Hot Summer feels every minute of its nearly two-hour running time; after the first 45 minutes, viewers weaned on American movies made after 1980 may very well have tuned out in frustration or boredom. But the struggle between Newman and Welles is well worth watching — as is the chemistry between Newman and Joanne Woodward, with whom he embarked on a 50-year marriage after Summer wrapped. And for those who stick it out to the end, the movie’s final act is, in the words of the Apollo Guide’s Jamie Gillies, “surprising and quite exciting. ”more info…Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958)Tomatometer: 100%It isn’t a terribly faithful adaptation of Tennessee Williams’ play — which is probably why he publicly disavowed it — but Richard Brooks’ film version of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is still remembered as a classic, due in no small part to smoldering early performances from Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor as Brick and Maggie Pollitt, the staggeringly dysfunctional couple at the heart of the story."

Presenting, in our humble opinion, our leading leaders of men and women at war.1. GEORGE WASHINGTON (1732-99)Born in Westmoreland County, Virginia, Washington grew up under the guardianship of his eldest brother. After a spotty education, he became a surveyor and eventually inherited his brother's prosperous estate, Mount Vernon. He joined the Virginia militia in 1752, advanced to major, fought during the French and Indian War (1754-60), and made it to the rank of honorary brigadier general. Washington didn't return to the battlefield until July 1775, after being appointed general by the Continental Congress. At Cambridge, outside Boston, he took command of the disintegrating Continental Army. The American Revolutionary War-Washington energetically and skillfully revitalized the militias at Cambridge and organized them into Continental Army regiments. Using cannons borrowed from the colonies, he occupied Dorchester Heights and brilliantly forced Sir William Howe's British army to evacuate Boston and retire by sea to New York City. Washington tried to drive the British from Ney York but failed, partly due to his own inexperience and partly due to untrained troops and clumsy subordinates."

Tomas Munita for The New York Times CHÂTEAU-THIERRY, France — Fifty miles to Paris. That was all that separated a hardened German Army from, perhaps, the end of the Great War. By early 1918, the Germans were rolling through northern France, and French commanders feared they were planning a decisive attack against the capital. First, though, they had to cross a ribbon of green water known as the Marne. And traverse a small forest known as Belleau Wood. In their way were divisions of exhausted but experienced French and British troops, along with their new, largely untested allies from the United States. Months earlier, a war-weary Paris had welcomed the arriving American soldiers with parades and ecstatic relief, believing the Yanks would swing the war for the Allies. But French commanders were uncertain how these raw soldiers, many arriving without weapons, would fare against a German Army that had fought in bloody trenches for four years. World War I was the first time an American army had fought in a European war, and they were being delivered to the doorstep of a slaughterhouse."

His most famous post was when he served as the commander of the American Expeditionary Force (AEF) on the Western Front in World War I, 1917–18. Pershing rejected British and French demands that American forces be integrated with their armies, and insisted that the AEF would operate as a single unit under his command, although some American divisions fought under British command, and he also allowed all-black units to be integrated with the French army. American forces first saw serious battle at Cantigny, Chateau-Thierry, Belleau Wood, and Soissons. To speed up the arrival of the doughboys, they embarked for France leaving the heavy equipment behind, and used British and French tanks, artillery, airplanes and other munitions. In September 1918 at St. Mihiel, the First Army was directly under Pershing's command; it overwhelmed the salient – the encroachment into Allied territory – that the German Army had held for three years. For the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, Pershing shifted roughly 600,000 American soldiers to the heavily defended forests of the Argonne, keeping his divisions engaged in hard fighting for 47 days, alongside the French. The Allied Hundred Days Offensive, which the Argonne fighting was part of, contributed to Germany calling for an armistice. Pershing was of the opinion that the war should continue and that all of Germany should be occupied in an effort to permanently destroy the German militarism. Pershing is the only American to be promoted in his own lifetime to General of the Armies rank, the highest possible rank in the United States Army. ["

Pershing penned these words in August 1918 after American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) sustained more than sixty thousand casualties over about four months. 2When the United States entered World War I in the spring of 1917, Pershing firmly believed the Germans would be driven from the trenches and defeated in the open by self-reliant infantry employing a doctrine of open warfare. 3 Open warfare doctrine imagined infantry brigades maneuvering outside the trenches that had immobilized the war months after it began in 1914. Instead of stationary fighting from trenches, U. S. brigades supposedly would employ speed and mobility to inflict decisive defeats on the Germans."

Grand Central Terminal was constructed from 1903 to 1913 on the site of an older Grand Central Depot, which was replaced in gradual steps. The original depot that opened in 1872 was at street level, filling the space between Vanderbilt Ave and Depew Place from 42 St to 45 St. A large trainyard also at street level grew to take up much of the next few blocks almost from Madison Ave to Lexington Ave. The tracks narrowed to the width of Park Ave at 49 St and entered the Park Ave tunnel at 56 St. In a bold and visionary move, the New York Central Railroad spent an enormous sum to relocate the entire terminal and yard below street grade, on two track levels and occupying even more property, making a large rectangle bounded by 42 St, Lexington Ave, 50 St, and a line between Vanderbilt Ave and Madison Ave. The monumental station building was placed at the end of the tracks, centered on Park Ave from 42 St to 44 St. Once the terminal was completed, the rest of the valuable real estate was made available for buildings over the tracks. The Waldorf-Astoria Hotel was built in 1929-1931 on one of the Grand Central lots, a whole block from 49 St to 50 St between Park Ave and Lexington Ave. It replaced four buildings less than twenty years old. The New York Central had an electrical power building along the 50 St side of the entire block. Along the 49 St side were the railroad YMCA at Park Ave, a large railroad powerhouse in mid block, and a building for the Adams Express Company package service on Lexington Ave. The powerhouse supplied steam to the station and some of the other buildings, and the attached electrical building had transformers and storage batteries supplying traction power to the railroad."

"text": "The United States has experienced its share of military successes over the years. But its armed forces have also suffered some terrible setbacks. Here are eight of the very worst. Compared to many other countries, the United States has never really suffered a cataclysmic military disaster. The continental U. S. has never faced a significant invasion force, its government has never been supplanted by that of a rival nation’s, nor has its armies ever experienced a colossal collapse on a scale similar to what happened to the German Sixth Army at Stalingrad. Since its inception as a nation, however, the U. S. has involved itself in a number of foreign campaigns, both near and far. And, as such, it has not been immune to military defeats, misfortune, and humiliation. For the purposes of this list, therefore, a “military disaster” will be defined as a historically significant episode in which the U. S. military endured any of the following problems: protracted mission failure, an inability to thwart enemy action, or a breakdown in command and control structure. It can also include an embarrassing, lopsided, or unexpected defeat. Here’s the list in chronological order. ("

Congress enacted legislation authorizing the grade of General of the Army on July 25, 1866, and on that date the new grade was conferred on Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant. The grade was recognized and continued in various acts until the Act of July 15, 1870, which contained the requirement that \"\"the offices of general and lieutenant general shall continue until a vacancy shall exist in the same, and no longer, and when such vacancy shall occur in either of said offices shall become inoperative, and shall, by virtue of this act, from thence forward be held to be repealed. \"\" William T.

Seventh Army in the Mediterranean and European theaters of World War II, but is best known for his leadership of the U. S. Third Army in France and Germany following the Allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944. Born in 1885 to a family with an extensive military background (with members having served in the United States Army and Confederate States Army ), Patton attended the Virginia Military Institute and the U. S. Military Academy at West Point. He studied fencing and designed the M1913 Cavalry Saber, more commonly known as the \"\"Patton Sword\"\", and partially due to his skill in the sport, he competed in the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden. Patton first saw combat during the Pancho Villa Expedition in 1916, taking part in America's first military action using motor vehicles. He later joined the newly formed United States Tank Corps of the American Expeditionary Forces and saw action in World War I, commanding the U. S. tank school in France before being wounded while leading tanks into combat near the end of the war. In the interwar period, Patton remained a central figure in the development of armored warfare doctrine in the U. S. Army, serving in numerous staff positions throughout the country. Rising through the ranks, he commanded the 2nd Armored Division at the time of the American entry into World War II. Patton led U. S. troops into the Mediterranean theater with an invasion of Casablanca during Operation Torch in 1942, where he later established himself as an effective commander through his rapid rehabilitation of the demoralized U. S. II Corps."

The great Khan, who was over 60 and in failing health, may have succumbed to injuries incurred during a fall from a horse in the previous year. Genghis Khan was born as Temujin around 1162. His father, a minor Mongol chieftain, died when Temujin was in his early teens. Temujin succeeded him, but the tribe would not obey so young a chief. Temporarily abandoned, Temujin’s family was left to fend for themselves in the wilderness of the Steppes. By his late teens, Temujin had grown into a feared warrior and charismatic figure who began gathering followers and forging alliances with other Mongol leaders. After his wife was kidnapped by a rival tribe, Temujin organized a military force to defeat the tribe. Successful, he then turned against other clans and tribes and set out to unite the Mongols by force. Many warriors voluntarily came to his side, but those who did not were defeated and then offered the choice of obedience or death."

Print Cite Between 1206 and his death in 1227, the Mongol leader Genghis Khan conquered nearly 12 million square miles of territory—more than any individual in history. Along the way, he cut a ruthless path through Asia and Europe that left untold millions dead, but he also modernized Mongolian culture, embraced religious freedom and helped open contact between East and West. Explore 10 facts about a great ruler who was equal parts military genius, political statesman and bloodthirsty terror. “Genghis” wasn’t his real name. The man who would become the “Great Khan” of the Mongols was born along the banks of the Onon River sometime around 1162 and originally named Temujin, which means “of iron” or “blacksmith.” He didn’t get the honorific name “Genghis Kahn” until 1206, when he was proclaimed leader of the Mongols at a tribal meeting known as a “kurultai.” While “Khan” is a traditional title meaning “leader” or “ruler,” historians are still unsure of the origins of “Genghis.” It may have may have meant “ocean” or “just,” but in context it is usually translated as “supreme ruler” or “universal ruler. ”He had a rough childhood."

In less than 80 years, a band of warriors originally comprised of several men grew to an empire that encompassed all from the Pacific Ocean to the Danube River. This story is about one of the most dramatic series conquests in history and how it was the Mongols themselves who shattered their own invincibility. In the 12th century, various Turkic and Mongol-Tungusic tribes roamed the steppes of Mongolia. One of these tribes was the Mongols. Around the 1130, the Mongols emerged as a powerful tribe, defeating neighboring nomads and forcing the Jin Empire of Northern China to pay tribute. However, the glory was short lived. In 1160, the Mongol Kingdom was shattered, having been defeated by the neighboring Tartars tribe. The Mongol clans (divisions within a tribe) became disunited and fought amongst themselves for what little there was.

At its height, the Mongol Empire covered large parts of modern-day China, Mongolia, Russia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Moldova, South Korea, North Korea, and Kuwait. After the death of Genghis Khan in 1227, the Mongol Empire grew even larger under his son, Tushi, and grandson, Kublai Khan, who established the Yuan Dynasty in China through at least 22 legitimate sons. This family legacy made the Khan’s the most successful empire builders ever. Mongol Empire – The Silk Road Once established, the Mongol Empire became a peaceful political environment that allowed increased communication and trade between the West, Middle East, and Asia. This openness meant that these previously separate worlds could begin to trade with each other. In the late 1200’s, a Venetian explorer named Marco Polo became one of the first Europeans to travel what would later be called “The Silk Road” to China. Polo, together with his father Niccolo and his uncle Maffeo, traveled to China to visit Kublai Khan, the then-ruler of the Mongol Empire. The Silk Road was a series of interconnected trade routes through various regions of the Eurasian continent, mainly connecting China with Asia Minor and the Mediterranean."

"text": "Yuan Dynasty Ask Question In the latter period of the twelfth century, the nomadic ethnic tribes living in the north Mongolia Plateau never ceased fighting against each other. The brilliant Mongolian leader Genghis Khan, whose name was Tie Muzhen, united the varied ethnic tribes and established the Mongol Khanate in 1206. Genghis Khan launched long-running wars on the surrounding areas. By the middle period of the thirteenth century, the Mongols had conquered North China, Central Asia and Russia and even reached the Indian River Valley to the south. The ambitious Genghis Khan set about expanding his territory to the China mainland. In 1234, the Mongols overthrew the Jin Kingdom and opened the door to unifying the China mainland. In 1271, a grandson of Genghis Khan - Kublai Khan (also called 'Emperor Shizu') changed the dynasty title into Yuan, thus Yuan Dynasty (1271 - 1368) began with its capital at Dadu (present Beijing). Successfully, the Mongols conquered the Southern Song Dynasty in 1276 and finally set up a non-Han regime to rule over all of China. Historically, the Yuan Dynasty is a special period – the Mongolian interlude in Chinese history. As the Yuan Dynasty possessed extensive territory including the present day Xinjiang, Tibet, Yunnan, most of the area of the present northeast China, Taiwan, the isles in the South China Sea, the Mongols managed to rule a complex group of peoples who inhabited the vast land."

The Mongol leader, who established a vast empire between the 13th and 14th centuries, helped remove nearly 700million tons of carbon from the atmosphere, claims a new study. The deaths of 40million people meant that large areas of cultivated land grew thick once again with trees, which absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. And, although his methods may be difficult for environmentalists to accept, ecologists believe it may be the first ever case of successful manmade global cooling. ‘It's a common misconception that the human impact on climate began with the large-scale burning of coal and oil in the industrial era,’ said Julia Pongratz, who headed the research by the Carnegie Institution's Department of Global Ecology. ‘Actually, humans started to influence the environment thousands of years ago by changing the vegetation cover of the Earth's landscapes when we cleared forests for agriculture,’ she told Mongabay.com. The 700million tons of carbon absorbed as a result of the Mongol empire is about the same produced in a year from the global use of petrol.

On the other hand, he is also known as a great patron of the arts, literature, and architecture. One of his signal achievements is his capital in the beautiful city of Samarkand, in modern-day Uzbekistan. A complicated man, Timur continues to fascinate us some six centuries after his death. Early Life Timur was born in 1336, near the city of Kesh (now called Shahrisabz), about 50 miles south of the oasis of Samarkand, in Transoxiana. The child's father, Taragay, was the chief of the Barlas tribe. The Barlas were of mixed Mongolian and Turkic ancestry, descended from the hordes of Genghis Khan and the earlier inhabitants of Transoxiana."

Legend holds that he came into the world clutching a blood clot in his right hand. His mother had been kidnapped by his father and forced into marriage. At that time, dozens of nomadic tribes on the central Asian steppe were constantly fighting and stealing from each other, and life for Temujin was violent and unpredictable. Before he turned 10, his father was poisoned to death by an enemy clan. Temujin’s own clan then deserted him, his mother and his six siblings in order to avoid having to feed them. Did You Know?

Around the 1130, the Mongols emerged as a powerful tribe, defeating neighboring nomads and forcing the Jin Empire of Northern China to pay tribute. However, the glory was short lived. In 1160, the Mongol Kingdom was shattered, having been defeated by the neighboring Tartars tribe.

Credit: Peter Zachar/Dreamstime Genghis Khan was a 13th-century warrior in central Asia who founded the Mongol Empire, one of the largest empires in history. By the time he died, the empire controlled a vast amount of territory in China and central Asia, and its armies had ventured as far west as Kiev in modern-day Ukraine. The successors of Genghis Khan would go on to control kingdoms with territories in the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe. Despite his great achievements, and ferocious reputation, there is much about Genghis Khan that we don’t know. For instance, there is not a single authentic portrait of the man that survives to present day, writes Jean-Paul Raux, a professor emeritus at the Ecole du Louvre, in his book “Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire” (Thames & Hudson 2003). All of the images of him that exist were created after his death or by people who otherwise never met him. Additionally, until Genghis Khan gained control over the Uyghur people, the Mongolians did not have a writing system. As such many of the records that survive of him were written by foreigners. An important Mongolian record that survives is called the “Secret History of the Mongols,”but was written anonymously (as its name suggests) apparently sometime after Genghis Khan’s death."

Genghis' Mongols were a league apart in their fighting abilities, and upon conquest many cities in the Eastern Islamic world were ravaged by them - including cities with such religious importance as Samarkhand and Bukhara. The armies of Allah had never encountered defeats like the Mongols were inflicting on them. Sure the Crusaders had captured a few territories in the \"\"Holy Land\"\", but those victories were because there wasn't a strong Muslim force to counter them. That was not the case with the Khwarizm Shah, who at first glance should have been more than a match for Genghis. Anyway, he wasn't and that was a big psychological blow to the Islamic World. Writers of the time thought the end of world was near. However, from the ashes of this destruction would rise the eventual Islamisation of the entire Mongol Empire, outside of China and Mongolia. There was never a big top-down decision coming from the Great Khan that all the Mongols would convert to Islam. Eventually 3 of the 4 Khanates that formed the Mongol Empire would adopt Islam as the state religion but this process was more like a series of events, all only partly related to each other."

In its historical application the term Central Asia designates an area that is considerably larger than the heartland of the Asian continent. Were it not for the awkwardness of the term, it would be better to speak of Central Eurasia, comprising all those parts of the huge Eurasian landmass that did not develop a distinctive sedentary civilization of their own. But the real boundaries of Central Asia are determined at any given time in history by the relationship between the “ civilized ” and the “ barbarian ”—the two opposed but complementary. The equation so often propounded—of the civilized with the sedentary and the barbarian with the nomad —is misleading, however. The most significant distinction between the two groups in Eurasia lies probably in the successful attempt of the civilized to alter and command the physical environment, whereas the barbarian simply uses it, often in a masterly fashion, to gain an advantage. In its essence, the history of Central Asia is that of the barbarian, and its dominant feature is the sometimes latent, sometimes open conflict in which the barbarian clashes with the civilized. Two basic patterns of conquest are evident in the history of Central Asia: that of the barbarian, accomplished with arms and ephemeral in its results, and that of the civilized—slow, rather unspectacular, achieved through technological superiority and absorption. The principal difficulty for the historian of Central Asia lies in the paucity and relative lateness of indigenous written sources. The first aboriginal sources—written in a Turkic language—date from the 8th century ce, and source material of similar value does not become available again until the 13th century."

"text": "\"Dual Threats: Actors Who Direct Moviesby Keith Kimbell, Metacritic Film Editor June 27, 2011↓ 2 user comments Every actor's not-so-secret desire That other thing he does It is not uncommon to hear an actor say, “But what I really want to do is direct.” Some do it to exercise another side of their creativity, some just want to tell personal stories, some do it to gain control, and others, well, they just might not be very good actors. That is not the case with Tom Hanks. He is a good actor, and he will release his second directorial feature this weekend. Larry Crowne tells the story of a recently unemployed man returning to community college to complete his education. Julia Roberts plays his teacher (and love interest), Mercedes Tainot, and while Hanks acted in his directorial debut, 1996’s That Thing You Do!, he was not the lead, so this will be the first time Hanks directs himself in a lead role, something many actors-turned-directors eventually do. Hanks is by no means the first nor will he be the last star to turn to film directing. Below we take a look at a few established actors who made the leap (either temporarily or permanently) to the other side of the camera, some more successfully than others.20 key actors-turned-directors Ben Affleck# Films Directed 2Average Metascore 73Average Gross $56.2m After an acting career that encompassed everything from Kevin Smith indies to Michael Bay blockbusters, Affleck surprised many in 2007 with the dark and assured vision he brought to his adaptation of Dennis Lehane’s novel Gone Baby Gone. His effort was acknowledged by the National Board of Review with the award for Best Directorial Debut that year and, while not too successful at the box office, the film earned Affleck enough clout to return to the director's chair with 2010’s The Town, based on the Chuck Hogan novel Prince of Thieves."

Washington (1856-1915) was one of the most influential (and controversial) African Americans in history. Raised the son of a slave mother, Washington was self-motivated and committed to his own education from a young age. The tumultuous time in America's history during which he lived afforded him new freedoms that came from Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 and the eventual success of the North in the Civil War. He took the first opportunity to attend a formal school, Hampton Institute, which led to professorship and the founding of one of the most prestigious African American educational institutions of the nineteenth century, Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. Washington was seen as accommodating the status quo of African American subordination because the message of his writings and speeches was that the road to success for blacks was through achieving economic stability through education (mainly, vocational training); he did not protest, did not challenge the political system, did not speak about the lack of social equality like his critics, Frederick Douglass and W. E. B. Du Bois. Washington chose to concentrate on what blacks could accomplish by focusing on learning industrial skills; he believed this would help his race secure economic self-reliance. Washington felt the militant rhetoric of Douglass and Du Bois distracted his people from the path to prosperity through economic success."

Mary Bellisby Mary Bellis Updated January 30, 2018It is rare to find a man of the caliber of George Washington Carver. A man who would decline an invitation to work for a salary of more than $100,000 a year to continue his research on behalf of his countrymen. By doing so, the agricultural chemist discovered 300 uses for peanuts and hundreds more uses for soybeans, pecans and sweet potatoes. His work provided a much needed boost to southern farmers who benefited economically from his recipes and improvements to adhesives, axle grease, bleach, buttermilk, chili sauce, fuel briquettes, ink, instant coffee, linoleum, mayonnaise, meat tenderizer, metal polish, paper, plastic, pavement, shaving cream, shoe polish, synthetic rubber, talcum powder and wood stain. Early Life and Education Carver was born in 1864 near Diamond Grove, Missouri, on the farm of Moses Carver. He was born into difficult and changing times near the end of the Civil War. The infant Carver and his mother were kidnapped by Confederate night-raiders and possibly sent away to Arkansas. Moses found and reclaimed Carver after the war but his mother had disappeared forever."

"text": "\"AFRICAN CROPS AND SLAVE CUISINESBy Joseph E. Holloway Ph. D. Crops brought directly from Africa during the transatlantic slave trade include rice, okra, tania, blackeyed peas, and kidney and lima beans. They were consumed by Africans on board the slave ships on way to the New World. Other crops brought from Africa included peanuts (ultimately from South America), millet, sorghum, guinea melon, watermelon, yams (Dioscorea cayanensis), and sesame (benne). These crops found their way into American foodways and became part of the ingredients found in the earliest cook books written by Southern Americans. As early as 1687, a young physician, Sir Hans Sloane, living in the West Indies, found many of these crops growing on the island of Jamaica. These plants reached the mainland of North America either directly from Africa, or came with enslaved Africans destined for North America and through trade with the West Indies. These crops may have already found a home in North America before Sloane's encounter. Eventually, however, these crops went from being eaten exclusively by Africans in North America to being in white southern cuisine. Blackeyed peas were first brought to the New World during the transatlantic slave trade as food for slaves."

Commemorative Booklet (PDF)There is the popular image of George Washington Carver known to every schoolchild in the United States: he was born a slave, worked hard to gain an education and become a scientist, taught at Tuskegee Institute, and became the Peanut Man who discovered myriad uses for the lowly legume. Of course, the story is not that simple. Yet despite criticisms of Carver, there is no denying his role in developing new uses for Southern agricultural crops and teaching poor Southern farmers methods of soil improvement.

Washington Chemurgy: The Agricultural Chemist Teacher and Mentor Carver as Symbol Research Notes and Further Reading Landmark Designation and Acknowledgments Cite this Page“George Washington Carver: Chemist, Teacher, Symbol” commemorative booklet produced by the National Historic Chemical Landmarks program of the American Chemical Society in 2007 (PDF). George Washington Carver's Early Life George Washington Carver guarded his image carefully. While he did not write extensively about his youth, he did leave behind snippets describing his hard early years. These writings tell of a poor orphan who sought knowledge and hungered for scientific discovery but who was sickly and weak. Carver's early years were indeed difficult, but he seems to have exaggerated his frailty. For example, in an autobiographical sketch he wrote in 1897, just as he was beginning his teaching career at the Tuskegee Institute, Carver claimed that when he was a child his \"\"body was very feble [sic] and it was a constant warfare between life and death to see who would gain the mastery.\"\""

Born into slavery, he, his sister, and mother were kidnapped by slave raiders when he was an infant. Although he was eventually returned to his owners, George developed a severe whooping cough during the escapade and could not perform the work expected of slaves. As a result, George would spend his days wandering the fields and meadows, learning about different plants. The Struggle for Education After the Civil War and the abolishment of slavery, George’s former masters decided to raise him as their own son. They encouraged him to pursue academic goals, and his aunt taught him how to read and write. George went to great lengths to find schools that would allow black students and traveled through much of Missouri and Kansas. He finally earned his high school diploma from Minneapolis High in Minneapolis, Kansas. After high school, he opened a laundry business in Olathe, Kansas. Over the next few years, George tried to enroll in numerous colleges but was continually rejected because of his race."

What would our school lunches or couch-potato snacks have been without peanut butter or a PB&J sandwich? Whether you’re a fan of creamy or chunky, peanut butter has always had a place in American culture. But have you ever wondered how peanut butter came about? And how did it become so popular? In honor of National Peanut Butter Day, which is January 24, we delve into some peanut butter history and trivia. Peanut butter actually dates back to Aztec times. The Aztecs mashed roasted peanuts into a paste, somewhat different from what we know of as peanut butter today. But many people have been credited with the title of peanut-butter-inventor, among them George Washington Carver. However, he did not invent peanut butter; instead he promoted more than 300 uses for peanuts, among other crops such as soy beans and sweet potatoes."

George, one of his sisters, and his mother were kidnapped by Confederate raiders. Only George was found and returned to the Carver family.

The owner of the farm traded a horse as ransom for the baby, but the mother was never seen again. As a young boy, Carver loved to collect and learn about plants. We recommend watching the Parts of a Plant movie together as a review. He had a strong ambition to go to school, but the ones in his area did not accept African Americans. He learned to read and write at home, and at ten years old, he put himself through different schools. As a student, he loved art and showed great skill as a painter. Carver decided to pursue college and was accepted to Highland University, but was promptly denied when administrators discovered that he was black."

The boll weevil, a very small variety of beetle, is native to Mexico, and nests in the boll–or seed capsule–of cotton, hence its name. With its distinctive long snout, the boll weevil is a legendary pest, one of the all-time greats on the list of most feared insects of the agricultural world. It moves where the cotton grows, and migrated across the Rio Grande from Mexico into Texas as soon as the land there had decent cotton fields for it to feed on, in 1892. It moves quickly; the beetle is a decent long-distance flier, and individual beetles have been found as far as 150 miles away from where they were tagged."

They are an acquired taste, but according to southerners, they are totally addictive. Did you known that the “ed” in boiled peanuts is silent? Often signs will say Boil P-Nuts. Boiled peanuts are green or raw nuts that are boiled in salty water for hours outdoors over a fire. The shells turn soggy, and the peanuts take on a fresh, legume flavor. A green peanut is not green in color, just freshly harvested. It takes ninety to a hundred days to grow peanuts for boiling, and they are available only during May through November throughout the southern states. One of the drawbacks of boiled peanuts is that they have a very short shelf life unless refrigerated or frozen. If you leave them out on the kitchen counter for 3 to 4 days, they become slimy and smelly!From May through November, all over the south, you will see roadside stands – ranging from woodsheds to shiny trailers – offering fresh boiled peanuts."

Even free blacks in the century before and after the Civil War were limited in their access to mainstream, quality education and vocational training. This limited education and training meant that, for the most part, blacks were shut out of professional occupations and confined to working in industries deemed acceptable for them, such as domestic services, some manual trades, and agriculture. Nevertheless a small number of exceptionally talented blacks were able to obtain an education and, through their life's work, make significant contributions to American life. Scientists Two early African-American scientists, namely mathematician and astronomer Benjamin Banneker and agricultural chemist George Washington Carver, have become legendary for their intellect and ingenuity. Born free in Maryland, Banneker was largely self-taught. He constructed the first striking clock to be made in America, helped survey the boundaries for Washington, D.

Yale University Art Gallery Why do we still need Black History Month? On its first day alone, this February provided two good answers. One is that we need it because our president and his spokesman seem to have no idea who Frederick Douglass was or even that he is not currently alive. But a second is that, mysteriously, it seems a large number of Americans believe that the inventor of the cotton gin, Eli Whitney, was black.

"text": "\"AFRICAN CROPS AND SLAVE CUISINESBy Joseph E. Holloway Ph. D. Crops brought directly from Africa during the transatlantic slave trade include rice, okra, tania, blackeyed peas, and kidney and lima beans. They were consumed by Africans on board the slave ships on way to the New World. Other crops brought from Africa included peanuts (ultimately from South America), millet, sorghum, guinea melon, watermelon, yams (Dioscorea cayanensis), and sesame (benne). These crops found their way into American foodways and became part of the ingredients found in the earliest cook books written by Southern Americans. As early as 1687, a young physician, Sir Hans Sloane, living in the West Indies, found many of these crops growing on the island of Jamaica. These plants reached the mainland of North America either directly from Africa, or came with enslaved Africans destined for North America and through trade with the West Indies. These crops may have already found a home in North America before Sloane's encounter. Eventually, however, these crops went from being eaten exclusively by Africans in North America to being in white southern cuisine. Blackeyed peas were first brought to the New World during the transatlantic slave trade as food for slaves."

Ryan Center at Villanova University’s College of Liberal Arts & Sciences Summary James Madison is generally regarded as the father of the United States Constitution. No other delegate was better prepared for the Federal Convention of 1787, and no one contributed more than Madison to shaping the ideas and contours of the document or to explaining its meaning. Key Takeaways The destiny of republican government, Madison believed, is staked on the vigilance of the American people to tend \"\"the sacred fire of liberty. ”Madison believed, along with his contemporaries, that the great danger to popular government is faction. Madison's contributions to the American Republic are best summarized by his lifelong dedication to the principles of freedom and responsibility. Copied Select a Section 1 /0In 1787 and 1788, Madison authored, with Alexander Hamilton and John Jay, the Federalist Papers, a penetrating commentary on the principles and processes of the proposed Constitution. In 1789, as a member and leading voice in the House of Representatives in the new Republic, Madison introduced a series of constitutional amendments that would form the basis of the Bill of Rights. A few years later, he and Thomas Jefferson organized the opposition to Alexander Hamilton's administrative policies, thereby founding the first political party in America. Winston Churchill once said that a man must choose either a life of words or a life of action. Like Churchill, Madison demonstrated that rare individuals could be both scholars and statesmen."

"text": "\"Washington's Farewell Address Table of Contents Introduction Writing of the Address Authorship The American Union Partisanship and Foreign Policy Aftermath Introduction George Washington's Farewell Address was the last of the major documents by America's Founders to be written in the 18th Century. Unlike earlier major Founding Documents - the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, the Federalist Papers and the Bill of Rights - the Farewell Address was a lengthy production that began four years before it was released. Its origin dated to 1792 when President Washington had contemplated retirement after one term but his feuding advisers convinced him to remain in office even as they themselves contemplated leaving. In May 1792, Washington wrote fellow Virginian James Madison of his anticipated retirement: \"\"In revolving this subject myself my judgment has always been embarrassed. On the one hand, a previous declaration to retire, not only carries with it the appearance of vanity and self-importance, but it may be construed into a manoeuvre to be invited to remain; and, on the other hand, to say nothing, implies consent, or, at any rate, would leave the matter in doubt; and to decline afterwards might be deemed as bad and uncandid.\"\" Washington wrote: \"\"As the recess [of Congress] may afford you leisure, and, I flatter myself, you have dispositions to oblige me, I will, without apology, desire, if the measure in itself should strike you as proper, or likely to produce public good, or private honor, that you would turn your thoughts to a valedictory address from me to the public, expressing in plain and honest terms my leave of them as a public man: and I take the liberty at my departure from civil life, as I formerly did at my military exit, to invoke a continuance of the blessings of Providence upon it.\"\" A month later, Congressman Madison responded to President Washington, saying that he would write the draft. He urged, however, that Washington \"\"reconsider all the circumstances and consequences\"\" around the proposed retirement. Madison suggested that Washington postpone any announcement until mid-September. The draft that Madison produced, noted historian George S. Mott, was more personal than political."

Copied Select a Section 1 /0Abstract: A neo-Reaganite grand strategy offers the surest guide for restoring and sustaining American greatness in the 21st century. It incorporates the principles of the Founding without slighting the perennial imperatives of power and geopolitics. It inoculates us from the pessimism of unrealistic realists, who underestimate the possibility of provisional justice, and the dangerous illusions of idealists, who underrate the obstacles to achieving it in international politics. It can facilitate the expansion of stable liberal democracy and economic prosperity, thereby minimizing the number and gravity of the threats the United States faces. Its commitment to American exceptionalism and American military preeminence not only enhances deterrence, but reduces the blood, toil, tears, and sweat of the wars that the United States must fight. And it contrasts favorably with any other plausible alternative, be it unrealistic realism, liberal internationalism, isolationism, or utopian versions of neoconservatism unconstrained by geopolitical imperatives. Few Presidents have surpassed the achievements of Ronald Reagan, the greatest American President since World War II, with FDR his only peer in the 20th century. The remarkable success of Reagan’s foreign policy accounts significantly for his lofty ranking, in particular the indispensable role he played in defeating the Soviet Union, an evil, totalitarian empire existentially threatening freedom for more than four decades. The spectacular revival the United States experienced during the Reagan presidency confounded the gloomy conventional wisdom of the 1970s that lamented the inevitability of America’s decline."

The son of a prosperous farmer, George received schooling until age 16, did not attend college, and became a surveyor. He was appointed an adjutant-general at age 19 and in 1754, fought in the Battle of Great Meadows at the inception of the French and Indian War. He was compelled to surrender Fort Necessity in that conflict and later resigned his commission. Nevertheless, in 1755, he joined Edward Braddock before Braddock's stunning defeat in western Pennsylvania and made a remarkable escape. He later commanded the Virginia militia in the West and accompanied John Forbes in the capture of Fort Duquesne. In 1759, George Washington's life changed dramatically: He married Martha Custis and also was elected to the House of Burgesses. George Washington's greatest pleasure was his life as a planter at his Mount Vernon estate. In addition, George Washington was a delegate to the First and Second Continental Congresses, and received from the latter the appointment as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army. In response to his appointment as commander-in-chief, Washington wrote back to Congress on July 16, 1775: As to pay, sir, I beg to assure the Congress that, as no pecuniary consideration could have tempted me to accept this arduous employment, at the expense of my domestic ease and happiness, I do not wish to make any profit from it."

Arbelbide Meanwhile, Back at the Schools In 1968, no educational organizations—teachers, administrators, or PTAs—were listed as supporters of the holiday bill. While Congress counted on state legislatures to align their state holidays with those of the federal government, no thought was given to the effect revised federal holidays would have on individual school districts. Many school districts could independently determine their calendar until state legislatures began requiring of school districts a set number of days within a school year. Although school districts made every effort to honor federal holidays, administrators were faced with juggling an already packed school year calendar. Where once school ended at the end of May and began after Labor Day, school years have expanded into June and even August as educators found it necessary to lengthen the school year to accommodate the evolving required educational mandates. Rather than continue to erase the summer break, schools began omitting various federal holidays (most often Columbus Day, Veterans Day, and the generic \"\"Presidents' Day\"\") from school calendars. Political correctness caused schools to shy away from ignoring the Martin Luther King, Jr., holiday, while the 'title confused' third Monday in February—now being passed over as a holiday—emerged with newfound purpose as staff development time, teacher/parent meetings, or as a backup snow make-up day."

He was quiet and reserved in public but in his free time enjoyed many lighthearted hobbies, including playing cards and dancing. He married Martha Custis, the richest widow in Virginia. He had lost almost all his teeth by the time he was president, leaving him with badly sunken cheeks that were stuffed with cotton for portraits. Contrary to popular belief, George Washington never had wooden teeth! His teeth were made mostly of lead fitted with human, cattle, and hippopotamus teeth. Some were carved from elephant and walrus tusks."

At first glance, Wilson’s particular vision of America’s role in the world may not sound radically new. Since the Founding, Americans had fondly hoped that the United States, through its foreign policy and the example it set, would foster the spread of freedom and self-government among the peoples of the Earth. This aspiration had always been central to what Americans considered exceptional about their republic. But Wilson’s call to spread democracy was more urgent and pressing, more obligatory. To answer this call, the United States would be obliged to take on a much more active role in making the world into something new, and it would do so through force if necessary. Wilson’s foreign policy demanded action for the sake of a principle—the spread of freedom and democracy—that he was unshakably certain was right in and of itself. Wilson’s approach to foreign policy, driven as it was by ideology, also eschewed the Founders’ emphasis on the need for prudence in the application of just principles. In the realm of foreign affairs, the Founders believed they should choose the best course in light of particular circumstances."

He was instrumental in ending 300 years of Spanish rule in the Americas at the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th centuries. He ought to be considered the Spanish American equivalent of both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Like Washington, Bolívar led a people onto the battlefield to gain independence. Like Jefferson, Bolívar drafted constitutions inspired by the ideas of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution."

"text": "George Washington and the Challenge of Launching the New Governmentby Peter R. Henriques, Professor of History, Emeritus The American people were blessed to have George Washington as its leader during the country’s early critical years when the survival of the union was very much at question. George Washington was not only the indispensable man in the winning of America’s independence from Great Britain, he was also the indispensable man in the invention of a new nation. And the difficulties he faced in achieving the second goal were every bit as challenging as those he faced in achieving the first. It was only because of the nearly universal esteem and affection that his countrymen had for him for winning the war that he was successful in creating a new nation. Because he possessed such a great wellspring of trust and public confidence, Washington was able to convince most Americans that an energetic government was not incompatible with republican liberty. And, within the confines of the 18th-century debate on the issue, Washington came down squarely on the side of a stronger and more effective central government. We must remember that Washington was a supreme nationalist and the greatest single commitment of his political life from the time he took command of the Continental Army in 1775 until his death in 1799 was to the American union that he fathered, presided over, and hoped would be “perpetual.” Virtually everything he did—or did not do—as president can best be understood by remembering that his guiding star was his determination to secure the union. His view, on the surface somewhat paradoxical but in fact amazingly prescient, was that the individual liberty of the people would be best protected within the context of a strong national union. He feared an excessive spirit of states’ right and individualism would destroy the American union and eventually liberty itself."

Ryan Center at Villanova University’s College of Liberal Arts & Sciences Summary James Madison is generally regarded as the father of the United States Constitution. No other delegate was better prepared for the Federal Convention of 1787, and no one contributed more than Madison to shaping the ideas and contours of the document or to explaining its meaning. Key Takeaways The destiny of republican government, Madison believed, is staked on the vigilance of the American people to tend \"\"the sacred fire of liberty. ”Madison believed, along with his contemporaries, that the great danger to popular government is faction. Madison's contributions to the American Republic are best summarized by his lifelong dedication to the principles of freedom and responsibility. Copied Select a Section 1 /0In 1787 and 1788, Madison authored, with Alexander Hamilton and John Jay, the Federalist Papers, a penetrating commentary on the principles and processes of the proposed Constitution. In 1789, as a member and leading voice in the House of Representatives in the new Republic, Madison introduced a series of constitutional amendments that would form the basis of the Bill of Rights. A few years later, he and Thomas Jefferson organized the opposition to Alexander Hamilton's administrative policies, thereby founding the first political party in America. Winston Churchill once said that a man must choose either a life of words or a life of action. Like Churchill, Madison demonstrated that rare individuals could be both scholars and statesmen."

Related to due process of law: 14th Amendment Due Process of Law A fundamental, constitutional guarantee that all legal proceedings will be fair and that one will be given notice of the proceedings and an opportunity to be heard before the government acts to takeaway one's life, liberty, or property. Also, a constitutional guarantee that a law shall not be unreasonable, Arbitrary, or capricious. The constitutional guarantee of due process of law, found in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U. S. Constitution, prohibits all levels of government from arbitrarily or unfairly deprivingindividuals of their basic constitutional rights to life, liberty, and property. The due process clause of the Fifth Amendment, ratified in 1791, asserts that no person shall \"\"be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.\"\" This amendment restricts the powers of the federalgovernment and applies only to actions by it. The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, declares,\"\" [N]or shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law\"\" (§ 1). This clause limits the powers of the states, rather thanthose of the federal government. The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment has also been interpreted by the U. S. Supreme Court in the twentieth century to incorporate protections of the Bill of Rights, so thatthose protections apply to the states as well as to the federal government. Thus, the Due Process Clause serves as the means whereby the Bill of Rights has become binding on state governments as well as on the federal government."

"text": "\"As products in industry continue to increase in sophistication, performance requirements for people who design, manufacture, and market those products become more complex. To support today's complex performance requirements, many authors in the field of training and development have stated that there is a need to reinvent the training profession. They believe that industrial training programs must give way to a more complete performance technology that not only supports training, but other variables as well that affect the improvement of workers, their work, and their workplace ( Bassi, Benson, & Cheney, 1996 ; Clark & Sugrue, 1990 ; Lee & Zemke, 1995 ; Robinson & Robinson, 1995 ; Rosenberg, 1995 ). This article provides an overview of performance technology as a complete approach to improving human performance and an example in which the technology is used. THE COMPLETE APPROACHPerformance technology (sometimes called human performance technology) is a relatively new field of study that has evolved over the past 30 years from research and practice in the behavioral sciences. Today, it is applied by many professionals in industry, known as performance technologists. They are concerned with improving the value of human performance in the workplace ( International Society for Performance Improvement [ISPI], 1997 ; Mager, 1995 ; Rosenberg, Coscarelli, & Hutchison, 1992 ; Stolovitch & Keeps, 1992 ). Performance technologists focus on improving the value of human performance through theoretical frameworks drawn from research in the disciplines of industry, education, and psychology to the human aspects of organizations, processes, and jobs ( Carr & Totzke, 1995 ; Rummler & Brache, 1995 ). To help explain a theoretical framework for performance technology, Deterline and Rosenberg ( 1992 ) and Rothwell ( 1996 ) used a model similar to the performance improvement cycle illustrated in Figure 1 consisting of three phases: performance analysis, needs assessment, and support intervention. The three phases serve as an organizing theme for this paper."

Starting in the early 1900s, the Supreme Court began to consider cases in which persons were punished 'after' speaking or publishing.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search An open primary is a primary election that does not require voters to be affiliated with a political party in order to vote for partisan candidates. In a traditional open primary, voters may select one party's ballot and vote for that party's nomination. As in a closed primary, the highest voted candidate in each party then proceeds to the general election. In a nonpartisan blanket primary, all candidates appear on the same ballot and the two highest voted candidates proceed to the runoff election, regardless of party affiliation. The constitutionality of this system was affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States in 2008, [1] whereas a partisan blanket primary was previously ruled to be unconstitutional in 2000. [ 2] The arguments for open primaries are that voters can make independent choices, building consensus that the electoral process is not splintered or undermined by the presence of multiple political parties.

"text": "by Laurence Vance Did the Congress that passed the Fourteenth Amendment (June 13, 1866) or the states that ratified it (July 9, 1868) intend that the Amendment incorporate, in whole or in part, the Bill of Rights? It is a telling indictment of the incorporation doctrine that nowhere in the Fourteenth Amendment does it say anything about incorporating any part of the Bill of Rights. The wisdom exercised by Chief Justice Marshall in Barron v. The Mayor and City Council of Baltimore (1833) should be followed here. In writing about the applicability of the Bill of Rights to the states, Marshall clearly explains why such was not the case: Had the framers of these amendments intended them to be limitations on the powers of the state governments, they would have imitated the framers of the original constitution, and have expressed that intention. Had congress engaged in the extraordinary occupation of improving the constitutions of the several states, by affording the people additional protection from the exercise of power by their own governments, in matters which concerned themselves alone, they would have declared this purpose in plain and intelligible language. It is inconceivable that if such a thing took place that such a significant doctrine as incorporation would be so veiled that it would take years before some Supreme Court judge discovered that there was such a thing. The Blaine Amendment We know from the opening line of the First Amendment (“Congress shall make no law”) that the Amendment applied only to the federal government. It is a fact of history that James Madison’s proposal in 1789 to extend to the states the freedom of speech and of the press was rejected by the Congress that gave us the Bill of Rights. When the Constitution refers to the states it clearly says so. For example, it says in Article I, sec."

New York in 1925: Summary & Decision Lesson Transcript Instructor: Mark Pearcy When the Civil War ended in 1865, so did slavery; but segregation, the practice of separating the races in America through a variety of means, was born. Although the Civil Rights Act of 1964 made the practice illegal, de facto segregation continued to separate African American and white Americans in everyday life. De Facto Segregation and Racism In America, we like to believe that everyone has an equal chance to succeed and thrive, as long as they work hard enough and have a little luck. At the same time, most of us understand that, for hundreds of years, a great many people in our society haven't had the same chances and opportunities. Probably the best-known impediment to success for a large group of Americans was slavery, which existed in the U. S. from the early 17th century until 1865. Slavery was officially abolished at the end of the Civil War; the after effects of that institution, however, lasted for much longer, both legally and in the social barriers erected in everyday life. These barriers, known generically as segregation, were also supposed to have been eliminated from the U. S. Some have, but the reality of segregation, known as de facto segregation, has lasted much longer. De Jurevs. De Facto Segregation The first thing to understand about de facto segregation is that it has nothing to do with the law. Since the institution of slavery itself, as it existed in colonial and pre-Civil War America, was a system that subordinated one race to another, segregationist laws were not established until after the war."

[ 1]In the first decades of the 20th century, it drew significant support from many different groups, including trade unionists, progressive social reformers, populist farmers and immigrants. However, it refused to form coalitions with other parties, or even to allow its members to vote for other parties. Eugene V. Debs twice won over 900,000 votes in presidential elections ( 1912 and 1920) while the party also elected two United States Representatives ( Victor L. Berger and Meyer London ), dozens of state legislators, more than a hundred mayors and countless lesser officials. [ 2] The party's staunch opposition to American involvement in World War I, although welcomed by many, also led to prominent defections, official repression and vigilante persecution. The organization was further shattered by a factional war over how to respond to the October Revolution in Russia in 1917 and the establishment of the Communist International in 1919—many members left the party in favor of the Communist Party. After endorsing Robert La Follette Sr. 's presidential campaign in 1924, the party returned to independent action at the presidential level."

"text": "\"The Fourteenth Amendment: First Amendment II? The idea that only the Federal government is prohibited from regulating speech worries many people. After all, if Congress is prohibited from banning books, why shouldn't Texas be too? Many State governments today are far larger than our Federal government was in 1795, with (presumably) the same potential for tyranny. Consequently, civil libertarians have had to look elsewhere in the Constitution for speech protection at the State level. The most obvious source for protection of these speech rights is the Fourteenth Amendment, which contains the following language: No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law. . . This Amendment has two clauses which people could cite when looking to extend speech protection to the States: the privileges or immunities clause, and the due process clause. The privileges or immunities clause seems to be the best way to extend this protection, but there are two plausible readings of these terms regarding immunity which makes any automatic extension problematic:1) A United States citizen is immune from Government regulation of speech (if we read the immunity as referring to only the subject-matter of the right in the First Amendment, not the body to which the subject-matter applies).2) A United States citizen is immune only from Congressional regulation of speech (if we take the entire Amendment into account). The terms \"\"privilege\"\" or \"\"immunit [y]\"\" may refer to the right in the abstract (covering all governments), or merely the right to be free from Federal regulation of that right. Now, while the privileges or immunities clause could plausibly be extended to those clauses of the Bill of Rights that, unlike the First Amendment, do not explicitly refer to Congress, it is impossible to see how a Floridian would be protected from Floridian speech regulation when protection from \"\"State of Florida abridgment of speech and press\"\" is most emphatically not a Constitutional \"\"privilege\"\" or \"\"immunit [y]\"\" of those \"\"citizens of the United States\"\" living in Florida; to the contrary, the First Amendment (in concert with the Tenth Amendment) flows power in this regard to Florida when it wishes to exercise it, given that the power was not removed from Florida's legislative power in Section X of Article I of the Constitution."

It was adopted on December 15, 1791, as one of the ten amendments that constitute the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights was originally proposed to assuage Anti-Federalist opposition to Constitutional ratification. Initially, the First Amendment applied only to laws enacted by the Congress, and many of its provisions were interpreted more narrowly than they are today. Beginning with Gitlow v. New York (1925), the Supreme Court applied the First Amendment to states—a process known as incorporation —through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. In Everson v. Board of Education (1947), the Court drew on Thomas Jefferson 's correspondence to call for \"\"a wall of separation between church and State\"\", though the precise boundary of this separation remains in dispute. Speech rights were expanded significantly in a series of 20th and 21st-century court decisions which protected various forms of political speech, anonymous speech, campaign financing, pornography, and school speech; these rulings also defined a series of exceptions to First Amendment protections. The Supreme Court overturned English common law precedent to increase the burden of proof for defamation and libel suits, most notably in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan (1964)."

S. 47 (1919), was a United States Supreme Court decision that upheld the Espionage Act of 1917 and concluded that a defendant did not have a First Amendment right to express freedom of speech against the draft during World War I. Ultimately, the case established the \"\"clear and present danger\"\" test, which lasted until 1969 when protection for speech was raised in Brandenburg v. Ohio to \"\"Imminent lawless action\"\". Abrams v. U. S. (1919) was a 7-2 decision of the United States Supreme Court involving the 1918 Amendment to the Espionage Act of 1917, which made it a criminal offense to urge curtailment of production of the materials necessary to the war against Germany with intent to hinder the progress of the war. The 1918 Amendment is commonly referred to as if it were a separate Act, the Sedition Act of 1918. The defendants were charged and convicted for inciting resistance to the war effort and for urging curtailment of production of essential war material. They were sentenced to 20 years in prison. The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that the Act did not violate the freedom of speech protected by the First Amendment. Justice John Hessin Clarke used a relatively restrictive speech test - \"\"bad tendency\"\" - to uphold the conviction. Justices Oliver Wendell Holmes and Louis Brandeis dissented and said that the more speech protective standard - \"\"clear and present danger\"\" - ought to be applied to overturn the conviction."

Alfred Russel Wallace, Australasia, 1893Australia, the smallest of the seven continents, is the world capital of two of the three types of mammal on Earth: the marsupials, like the kangaroo and koala, which nourish their young in pouches, and the monotremes, featuring the platypus and the echidnas, which nourish their young in eggs. ( The third variety, placentals, include all the rest of us—from mice to whales to people—which nourish their young in an advanced placenta. ) How did this happen? Why did Australia get a preponderance of pouched and egg-laying mammals? And, at the same time, precious few of the kind of mammal that dominates every other land in the world? The story is a long one—say, 100 million years or more—and for decades was missing key sections. Only in recent years have paleontologists succeeded in filling in some of those gaps to their satisfaction, enabling them to draw a reasonably detailed portrait of Australia's unique evolutionary history.

Credit: Image courtesy of University of the Witwatersrand A postdoctoral fellow from Wits University has discovered the oldest known land-living animal from Gondwana in a remote part of the Eastern Cape. Dr Robert Gess, from the Evolutionary Studies Institute at Wits, discovered the 350-million-year-old fossilised scorpion from rocks of the Devonian Witteberg Group near Grahamstown. This unique specimen, which is a new species, has been called Gondwanascorpio emzantsiensis. His discovery has been published in the peer reviewed journal African Invertebrate. Explaining his discovery, Gess said that early life was confined to the sea and the process of terrestrialisation -- the movement of life onto land -- began during the Silurian Period roughly 420 million years ago. The first wave of life to move out from water onto land consisted of plants, which gradually increased in size and complexity throughout the Devonian Period. This initial colonisation of land was closely followed by plant and debris-eating invertebrate animals such as primitive insects and millipedes."

J. Veevers Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2004.05.002 Get rights and content Abstract Gondwanaland lasted from the 650–500 Ma (late Neoproterozoic-Cambrian) amalgamation of African and South American terranes to Antarctica–Australia–India through 320 Ma (mid-Carboniferous) merging with Laurussia in Pangea to breakup from 185 to 100 Ma (Jurassic and Early Cretaceous). Gondwanaland straddled the equator at 540 Ma, lay wholly in the Southern Hemisphere by 350 Ma, and then rotated clockwise so that at 250 Ma Australia reached the S pole and Africa the equator. By initial breakup of Pangea at 185 Ma, Gondwanaland had moved northward such that North Africa reached 35°N. The first clear picture of Gondwanaland, in the Cambrian, shows the assembly of continents with later Laurentian, European and Asian terranes along the “northern” margin, and with a trench along the “western” and “southern” margins, reflected by a 10,000-km-long chain of 530–500 Ma granites. The interior was crossed by the Prydz–Leeuwin and Mozambique Orogenic Belts. The shoreline lapped the flanks of uplifts generated during this complex terminal Pan-Gondwanaland (650–500 Ma) deformation, which endowed Gondwanaland with a thick, buoyant crust and lithosphere and a nonmarine siliciclastic facies. During the Ordovician, terranes drifted from Africa as the first of many transfers of material to the “northern” continents. Central Australia was crossed by the sea, and the eastern margin and ocean floor were flooded by grains of quartz (and 600–500 Ma zircon) from Antarctica. Ice centres in North Africa and southern South America/Africa waxed and waned in the latest Ordovician, Early Silurian, latest Devonian, and Early Carboniferous. In the mid-Carboniferous, Laurussia and Gondwanaland merged in the composite called Pangea by definitive right-lateral contact along the Variscan suture, with collisional stress and subsequent uplift felt as far afield as Australia. Ice sheets developed on the tectonic uplands of Gondwanaland south of 30°S. In the Early Permian, the self-induced heat beneath Pangea drove the first stage of differential subsidence of the Gondwanaland platform to intercept sediment from the melting ice, then to accumulate coal measures with Glossopteris, and subsequently Early Triassic redbeds."

Dinosaurs lived between about 247 and 66 million years ago, in a time known as the Mesozoic Era. This was many millions of years before the first modern humans, Homo sapiens, appeared. Scientists divide the Mesozoic Era into three periods: the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous. During this time, the land gradually split up from one huge continent into smaller ones. The associated changes in the climate and vegetation affected how dinosaurs evolved. Triassic Period (252 to 201 million years ago)All continents were part of a single landmass called Pangaea during the Triassic Period. This meant that there weren’t many differences between the animals or plants found in different areas."

"text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Science All About Supercontinents What is a supercontinent and why is the concept important to geologists? Share Flipboard Email Print Pangea supercontinent. MARK GARLICK/Science Photo Library/Getty Imagesby Andrew Alden Updated June 09, 2017The concept of a supercontinent is irresistible: what happens when the world's drifting continents clump together in one big lump, surrounded by a single world ocean? Alfred Wegener, starting in 1912, was the first scientist to discuss supercontinents seriously, as part of his theory of continental motion. He combined a body of new and old evidence to show that the Earth's continents had once been united in a single body, back in late Paleozoic time. At first he simply called it \"\"Urkontinent\"\" but soon gave it the name Pangaea (\"\"all Earth\"\"). Wegener's theory was the basis of today's plate tectonics. Once we had a grasp of how continents had moved in the past, scientists were quick to look for earlier Pangaeas. These were spotted as possibilities as early as 1962, and today we have settled on four. And we already have a name for the next supercontinent!What Supercontinents Are The idea of a supercontinent is that most of the world's continents are pushed together."

Follow 8 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: It is said that when dinosaurs first appeared, the Earth was made up of one big continent. All the landmasses were joined together. This big continent is known as Pangaea. As time went by, Pangaea gradually broke apart into the landmasses we know today. First it separated into a northern and a southern continent. The southern continent, which included Australia, was known as Gondwana. During the Cretaceous Period, Gondwana gradually broke up into the present landmasses of Africa, South America, India, Antarctica, and Australia. Antarctica and Australia were the last continents to separate, starting about 100 million years ago. The Antarctic was at the Earth's equator during the Cambrian period, roughly 500 million years ago."

Credit: USGSContinental drift was a theory that explained how continents shift position on Earth's surface. Set forth in 1912 by Alfred Wegener, a geophysicist and meteorologist, continental drift also explained why look-alike animal and plant fossils, and similar rock formations, are found on different continents. The theory of continental drift Wegener thought all the continents were once joined together in an \"\"Urkontinent\"\" before breaking up and drifting to their current positions. But geologists soundly denounced Wegener's theory of continental drift after he published the details in a 1915 book called \"\" The Origin of Continents and Oceans .\"\" Part of the opposition was because Wegener didn't have a good model to explain how the continents moved apart. Though most of Wegener's observations about fossils and rocks were correct, he was outlandishly wrong on a couple of key points. For instance, Wegener thought the continents might have plowed through the ocean crust like icebreakers smashing through ice. \"\" There's an irony that the key objection to continent drift was that there is no mechanism, and plate tectonics was accepted without a mechanism,\"\" to move the continents, said Henry Frankel, an emeritus professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City and author of the four volume \"\" The Continental Drift Controversy \"\" (Cambridge University Press, 2012). Although Wegener's \"\"continental drift\"\" theory was discarded, it did introduce the idea of moving continents to geoscience."

Credit: Sascha Brune/Christian Heine South America nearly carried off Northwest Africa when the world's last supercontinent fell apart 130 million years ago. Now, a new model helps explain why the Sahara settled east of the Atlantic instead of sailing off with South America — it's all about the angles. Back before the Atlantic Ocean formed, Africa and South America nestled together in a massive supercontinent called Gondwana. When this landmass started to split, gashes in Earth's crust called rifts opened up along pre-existing weaknesses. One of these gashes, called the West Africa Rift System, started to tear apart the future Sahara desert. Two more rifts formed along the future boundaries of South America and Africa. Imagine three rift zones, two lined up essentially north-south and one pointing east-west. These alignments are key to explaining why the continents broke apart the way they did, according to a study published March 6 in the journal Geology. The planet's plate tectonic forces could more easily pull apart the two continents at the east-west–oriented rift than at the north-south–oriented rift in the Sahara desert, the researchers found. \"\""

In the dinosaurs' earliest days, there was only one continent Sat 7 Feb 2009 07.00 EST07.00 ESTMost of the UK's dinosaur fossils have been unearthed in southern England. Remains of a Camptosaurus (above), for example, were found in the 19th century in a brick and tile works near Oxford. Photograph: Getty Images W hen dinosaurs came into existence nearly 230m years ago, all of the world's land masses were joined in one C-shaped \"\"supercontinent\"\", Pangaea. Of course, these earliest dinosaurs may have only lived in certain parts of Pangaea, and the oldest known specimens were all discovered in what is now Argentina. Starting in the Late Jurassic epoch, around 160m years ago, the continents began to break up, initially into two vast land masses known as Laurasia (to the north) and Gondwana (in the south), before gradually splitting further into the continents we have today. Consequently, later Cretaceous dinosaur species tend to have been found only on certain continents. For example, fossils of T. rex have only been discovered in North America, with no evidence of it, or any of its close relatives, ever having lived in the southern continents. Whereas a very different bipedal carnivore, Carnotaurus (with bull-like horns) lived in Argentina, and its relatives, the abelisaurids, were restricted to the southern hemisphere. Most of the UK's dinosaur fossils have been discovered in southern England – coastal sites such as the Isle of Wight and the Jurassic Coast of Dorset; the clay quarries of Surrey (Baryonyx); and the limestone and clay quarries of Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds."

In addition, he noticed that geologic formations, like mountain ranges, on the two continents also matched up. In 1915, Wegener published his book, The Origin of Continents and Oceans, suggesting that the earth's continents were once joined together in one large mass. He called the original landmass (or supercontinent) \"\" Pangaea ,\"\" the Greek word for \"\"all the earth.\"\" According to Wegener, over time \"\"Pangaea\"\" split apart and the different landmasses, or continents, drifted to their current locations on the globe.

Gondwana (Formed 600 — Came apart 30 million years ago) Laurasia (Formed 300 — Split 60 million years ago) Pangaea (Formed 300 — Broke into Laurasia and Gondwana 180 million years ago) So, what are the fates of Gondwana and Laurasia? A. \"\"Pangaea broke up into Gondwana and Laurasia\"\"-you or B. \"\"Gondwana and Laurasia joined to form Pangaea\"\"-you or C. Answers A & B are both correct. Answer is C. Gondwana joined other continents to form Pangaea (B) which eventually split back into Gondwana and formed Laurasia (A) --------EDIT-------- I hope this is clearer, I can be confusing without hand gestures and stuff. Gondwana existed before Pangaea did but when Pangaea split apart Gondwana was one part and the other part was Laurasia. so basically Gondwana was older than Pangaea and Laurasia is younger than pangaea. When Pangaea was created Gondwana and other land masses went in but when it split apart the pieces were Gondwana and Laurasia."

The Paleozoic is the first of three eras within the Phanerozoic eon (the time of visible life). While life originated during the Archean and increased in complexity during the earlier Proterozoic , the Paleozoic era is marked by the spread of animals with hard preservable parts such as shells and exoskeletons . This has led to what is popularly known as the Cambrian Explosion, the sudden appearance of a stupendous array of animal life, much of which is not closely related to modern forms. Despite extinctions at various times, the Paleozoic is notable for the increasing modernization of life. The late Paleozoic, the subject of this chapter, saw the spread of plant life over the land surface and the emergence and diversification of amphibians and their descendants the reptiles as dominant animal life on land. Diversification of fish, which began during the Silurian period continued unabated during the Devonian Period. By the end of the Paleozoic, almost all major groups of life, except the flowering plants and mammals, had developed. The Paleozoic ended in the greatestmass extinctionevent in world history. During this massive die-off nearly 95% of all marine species went extinct."

Credit: USGSThe Jurassic Period was the second segment of the Mesozoic Era. It occurred from 199.6 to 145.5 million years ago, following the Triassic Period and preceding the Cretaceous Period. During the Jurassic Period, the supercontinent Pangaea split apart. The northern half, known as Laurentia, was splitting into landmasses that would eventually form North America and Eurasia, opening basins for the central Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico. The southern half, Gondwana, was drifting into an eastern segment that would form Antarctica, Madagascar, India and Australia, and a western portion that would form Africa and South America. This rifting, along with generally warmer global temperatures, allowed for diversification and dominance of the reptiles known as dinosaurs. Plant life By the Mesozoic Era, living things had evolved the capability of living on the land rather than being confined to the oceans. By the beginning of the Jurassic, plant life had evolved from Bryophytes, the low-growing mosses and liverworts that lacked vascular tissue and were confined to swampy moist areas. Ferns and gingkoes, complete with roots and vascular tissue to move water and nutrients and a spore system of reproduction, were the dominant plants of the early Jurassic."

"text": "\"Continental drift The Earth's major plates (Image courtesy of US Geological Survey)When viewed from the perspective of geological time, the Earth is a very dynamic place. Over the course of millions of years, the face of the Earth has changed as continents move and mountain ranges are formed and eroded. The Earth’s surface does not consist of a motionless crust but rather of large crustal plates which move and jostle against each other. There are seven large plates and many smaller plates (100 to 150 km thick) that drift around the Earth’s surface, highlighted in the diagram. The continents move as a consequence of volcanic processes in oceanic areas known as mid oceanic ridges where basalt oozes out onto the sea floor, forcing adjacent plates apart. As the oceanic crust moves away from the ridge it cools, becoming denser and may eventually sink back into the mantle at a subduction zone, pulling the plate along with it. A further mechanism driving the movement of the Earth’s plates are large convection currents within the Earth’s mantle. What evidence is there for continental drift? As early as 1596, the Dutch map maker Abraham Ortelius suggested that the Americas, Eurasia and Africa were once joined and have since drifted apart \"\"by earthquakes and floods\"\" His \"\"evidence\"\" was the jigsaw fit of the continents. This fit is especially close when the continental shelves of the continents are considered."

Their research redraws the map of the planet from 420 million years ago. The scientists recently discovered a piece of the Appalachian Mountains in southern Mexico, a location geologists long had assumed was part of the North American Cordillera. The Cordillera is a continuous sequence of mountain ranges that includes the Rocky Mountains. It stretches from Alaska to Mexico and continues into South America. For the past decade, geologists have collected information from Mexico’s Acatlán Complex, a rock outcropping the size of Massachusetts. As they uncovered each new piece of data from the complex, evidence contradicting earlier assumptions about the origins of that part of Mexico emerged. “ It was a story that had the Appalachians written all over it,” said Damian Nance, Ohio University professor of geological sciences and lead author of an article detailing the findings, which was published in the October issue of Geology. “ This will change the way geologists look at Mexico.” It also changes existing theory regarding the creation of the Appalachians, which has radically altered scientists’ understanding of the planet’s geography, said Nance."

That says it all”, to Elizabeth Hurley stating, “I’ve always thought Marilyn Monroe looked fabulous, but I’d kill myself if I was that fat…I went to see her clothes in the exhibition, and I wanted to take a tape measure and measure what her hips were.

In fact, nothing could be further from the truth, at least by today’s sizing systems. How this myth got started isn’t exactly known. One possible contributing factor to this myth was Marilyn Monroe’s atypical extreme hour glass shape. More directly, it probably partially stems from the fact that women’s sizes today are not at all equivalent to women’s sizes in the 1950s. In the 1980s, in order to accommodate people’s vanity and ever expanding girth, the U. S. Department of Commerce got rid of the uniform sizing system and instead allowed for more ego stroking sizes."

Bobbi’s grandmother Cissy Houston floated the idea of a Feb. 11 death over the weekend during discussions with the Brown family at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. The Browns gave their blessing to pull the plug at the stroke of midnight to align the date with the 2012 passing of the legendary singer at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The move is a symbolic way to keep the mother and daughter together for eternity, according to a Brown family source. Modal Trigger Bobbi Kristina Brown in October 2012.

The Brown and Houston families have been bickering since Bobbi Kristina was rushed to the hospital, but they have now come to grips with the fact that she cannot be saved, the source said. “This is the only thing they can agree on — that she’s gone [brain-dead], and there’s nothing more than can be done for her,” the source said. The agonizing choice to finally pull the plug on the young woman was made by both sides, the source said.

Her family has allegedly been told by Los Angeles County Coroner officials there was not enough water in her lungs to conclude she had drowned in her luxury hotel bathtub and in fact died before her head went under water, said gossip website TMZ. The revelations come as it emerged that her daughter Bobbi Kristina, 18, allegedly fell asleep in a bathtub in the same Beverly Hilton hotel just 24 hours before her mother died. TMZ claims security was called to unlock the door and to help the 18-year-old on that occasion. Relatives now fear Bobbi Kristina has become suicidal - after she was rushed to hospital twice in the 24 hours following the discovery of her mother’s dead body in the bathtub of a Hollywood hotel.

Reruns of the series proved to be wildly successful in syndication during the 1970s, which persuaded the series' then-owner, Paramount Pictures, to expand the franchise. Paramount originally began work on a Star Trek feature film in 1975 after lobbying by the creator of the franchise, Gene Roddenberry. The studio scrapped the project two years later in favor of creating a television series, Star Trek: Phase II, with the original cast. However, following the huge success of Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind in 1977, Paramount changed its mind again, halting production on the television series and adapting its pilot episode into a Star Trek feature film, Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979). Five more Star Trek feature films featuring the entire original cast followed. The cast of the Star Trek sequel series Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987-1994) starred in a further four films. Upon the release of Star Trek: Nemesis on December 13, 2002, the film had grossed $67 million, a meager amount compared to the box office of previous installments. Due to the film's poor reception and box office disappointment, the series was put on a hiatus until the franchise was rebooted with a new film, directed by J. J. Abrams and released on May 8, 2009, simply titled Star Trek, serving as a reboot to the franchise with a new cast portraying younger versions of the original series' characters. A sequel to Star Trek (2009), Star Trek Into Darkness, was released in theaters on May 16, 2013."

It is also one of the highest pressured. So, to help Idina Menzel on February 1st, we’ve analysed some of the more memorable performances of The Star Spangled Banner from the last 25 years. Despite having cut her teeth in the world of musical theatre, Idina Menzel seems to have been a little fated when it’s come to live performances recently. This time last year, John Travolta introduced her at the Oscars as “ The one and only… Adele Dazeem! ” – causing everyone to ignore her performance and instead focus on how John Travolta would have made the rest of the evening’s announcements (“ And the winner for Best Actor is… Manuel Mahogany! “) Then, last month, Idina was chosen to help see out 2014 by performing at Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. The cold New York night seemed to get the better of her though and she flubbed the high note of her signature tune Let It Go (the big belter from – ironically enough – Frozen ). They say these things often come in threes, which really doesn’t bode well at all because guess who’s been picked to perform the American national anthem at this year’s Super Bowl?"

"text": "Johann Gregor Mendel (1822-1884)Father of Genetics Gregor Mendel, through his work on pea plants, discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance. He deduced that genes come in pairs and are inherited as distinct units, one from each parent. Mendel tracked the segregation of parental genes and their appearance in the offspring as dominant or recessive traits. He recognized the mathematical patterns of inheritance from one generation to the next. Mendel's Laws of Heredity are usually stated as:1) The Law of Segregation: Each inherited trait is defined by a gene pair. Parental genes are randomly separated to the sex cells so that sex cells contain only one gene of the pair. Offspring therefore inherit one genetic allele from each parent when sex cells unite in fertilization.2) The Law of Independent Assortment: Genes for different traits are sorted separately from one another so that the inheritance of one trait is not dependent on the inheritance of another.3) The Law of Dominance: An organism with alternate forms of a gene will express the form that is dominant. The genetic experiments Mendel did with pea plants took him eight years (1856-1863) and he published his results in 1865. During this time, Mendel grew over 10,000 pea plants, keeping track of progeny number and type. Mendel's work and his Laws of Inheritance were not appreciated in his time."

"text": "\"Why We are Different Biologists use two fancy words to describe the relationship between your genes and your physical traits. The first word is genotype. Your genotype is your genes for a given trait. In most cases, you've got two copies of a gene - one from your mother and one from your father. The second word is phenotype. Phenotype is what you actually turn out to be, the way these genes get expressed. Biologists have a saying involving these two fancy words: \"\"Genotype determines phenotype. \"\" Let's take eyelashes, for example. There are 2 kinds of eyelashes in people - long and short. Maybe you've got a short lashes version of a gene from your father, and a long lashes version of a gene from your mother."

Darwin had struggled with this problem -- how did organisms pass traits on to their offspring? Why did some traits seem to be passed on and others not? How did the traits of the parents work together in the offspring -- did they compete, or combine? Mendel's work helped answer these questions; unfortunately, Darwin was unaware of Mendel's work during his lifetime.

But in Darwin's time, it was impossible to see any of that. No one was sure how animals or plants passed down traits. And Darwin knew that the lack of an explanation for heredity left a big gap in his theory of natural selection.

Modern genetics began with the work of the Augustinian friar Gregor Johann Mendel. His work on pea plants, published in 1866, described what came to be known as Mendelian inheritance. Many theories of heredity proliferated in the centuries before and for several decades after Mendel's work. The year 1900 marked the \"\"rediscovery of Mendel\"\" by Hugo de Vries, Carl Correns and Erich von Tschermak, and by 1915 the basic principles of Mendelian genetics had been applied to a wide variety of organisms—most notably the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Led by Thomas Hunt Morgan and his fellow \"\"drosophilists\"\", geneticists developed the Mendelian model, which was widely accepted by 1925. Alongside experimental work, mathematicians developed the statistical framework of population genetics, bringing genetic explanations into the study of evolution. With the basic patterns of genetic inheritance established, many biologists turned to investigations of the physical nature of the gene. In the 1940s and early 1950s, experiments pointed to DNA as the portion of chromosomes (and perhaps other nucleoproteins) that held genes. A focus on new model organisms such as viruses and bacteria, along with the discovery of the double helical structure of DNA in 1953, marked the transition to the era of molecular genetics."

Gregor Mendel is called the father of genetics because he was the first person in the world to observe the fact that characteristics were passed on from the parents to the children. However, he did not take much interest in human characteristics. He had more interest in the plants. Also, he realized that it was a lot easier to study certain types of plants. He knew that passing down traits also existed in plants, and that is why he chose to study plants. He did try studying animals, but he was not successful with his attempt. Gregor Mendel was accredited with the title, father of genetics, much later after his death. Until the 1900s, nobody from the scientific community was really interested in his theory, and several scientists rubbished it. Only in the 19th century there was a breakthrough in this field when three individual scientists from Germany and France observed the same phenomenon in their individual ways."

"text": "\"print Discrete Genes Are Inherited: Gregor Mendel Throughout the nineteenth century, heredity remained a puzzle to scientists. How was it that children ended up looking similar to, but not exactly like, their parents? These questions fascinated and frustrated Charles Darwin deeply. After all, heredity lies at the heart of evolution. The variations in each generation are the raw material for natural selection, while the continuity from one generation to the next allows the changes wrought by natural selection to have long-term effects. Darwin himself proposed that each cell in an animal's body released tiny particles that streamed to the sexual organs, where they combined into eggs or sperm. They would then blend together when the animal mated. But \"\"pangenesis,\"\" as Darwin called it, didn't hold up to scrutiny. Ironically, it was just as Darwin was publishing the Origin of Species that someone got the first real glimpse of the biological machinery behind heredity. In a secluded monastery in what is now the Czech Republic, a monk named Gregor Mendel was studying heredity in a garden of peas."

He was a monk in Augustinian Abbey of St Thomas in Brno where he worked as a teacher. He had a deep interest in botany which led him to conduct experiments on pea plants. Inspired by the work of a biologist named Franz Unger, he began his experiments in the monastery’s sprawling gardens. Over the course of his study he observed that there were seven characteristics in the pea plants, and two forms of each characteristic. These characteristics included seed shape and pod shape in addition to plant height and seed colour. Mendel observed that the seven characteristics he had recognized remained consistent over generations in purebred plants. For eight years, he carefully crossbred and grew thousands of pea plants, and patiently analyzed and compared the plants and seeds for difference in colour and size of the seeds, and variations in length of the plants."

"text": "The Mendelian Concept of a Gene Gregor Mendel Image Courtesy of the National Library of Medicine In the 1860’s, an Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel introduced a new theory of inheritance based on his experimental work with pea plants. Prior to Mendel, most people believed inheritance was due to a blending of parental ‘essences’, much like how mixing blue and yellow paint will produce a green color. Mendel instead believed that heredity is the result of discrete units of inheritance, and every single unit (or gene) was independent in its actions in an individual’s genome. According to this Mendelian concept, inheritance of a trait depends on the passing-on of these units. For any given trait, an individual inherits one gene from each parent so that the individual has a pairing of two genes. We now understand the alternate forms of these units as ‘ alleles ’. If the two alleles that form the pair for a trait are identical, then the individual is said to be homozygous and if the two genes are different, then the individual is heterozygous for the trait. Based on his pea plant studies, Mendel proposed that traits are always controlled by single genes. However, modern studies have revealed that most traits in humans are controlled by multiple genes as well as environmental influences and do not necessarily exhibit a simple Mendelian pattern of inheritance (see “Mendel’s Experimental Results”). Mendel’s Experimental Results Mendel carried out breeding experiments in his monastery’s garden to test inheritance patterns."

Clearly they were conceived, and clearly there was some hereditary connection between parents and children, but the mechanisms were not readily apparent. The Greek philosophers had a variety of ideas: Theophrastus proposed that male flowers caused female flowers to ripen; Hippocrates speculated that \"\"seeds\"\" were produced by various body parts and transmitted to offspring at the time of conception, and Aristotle thought that male and female semen mixed at conception. Aeschylus, in 458 BC, proposed the male as the parent, with the female as a \"\"nurse for the young life sown within her\"\". During the 1700s, Dutch microscopist Anton van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) discovered \"\"animalcules\"\" in the sperm of humans and other animals. Some scientists speculated they saw a \"\"little man\"\" (homunculus) inside each sperm. These scientists formed a school of thought known as the \"\"spermists\"\". They contended the only contributions of the female to the next generation were the womb in which the homunculus grew, and prenatal influences of the womb. An opposing school of thought, the ovists, believed that the future human was in the egg, and that sperm merely stimulated the growth of the egg. Ovists thought women carried eggs containing boy and girl children, and that the gender of the offspring was determined well before conception."

His academic abilities were recognized by the local priest, who persuaded his parents to send him away to school at the age of 11. His Gymnasium (grammar school) studies completed in 1840, Mendel entered a two-year program in philosophy at the Philosophical Institute of the University of Olmütz (Olomouc, Czech Republic), where he excelled in physics and mathematics, completing his studies in 1843. His initial years away from home were hard, because his family could not sufficiently support him. He tutored other students to make ends meet, and twice he suffered serious depression and had to return home to recover. As his father’s only son, Mendel was expected to take over the small family farm, but he preferred a different solution to his predicament, choosing to enter the Altbrünn monastery as a novitiate of the Augustinian order, where he was given the name Gregor. The move to the monastery took him to Brünn, the capital of Moravia, where for the first time he was freed from the harsh struggle of former years. He was also introduced to a diverse and intellectual community. As a priest, Mendel found his parish duty to visit the sick and dying so distressing that he again became ill."

Mendel was born in a German-speaking family [3] in the Silesian part of the Austrian Empire (today's Czech Republic) and gained posthumous recognition as the founder of the modern science of genetics. Though farmers had known for millennia that crossbreeding of animals and plants could favor certain desirable traits, Mendel's pea plant experiments conducted between 1856 and 1863 established many of the rules of heredity, now referred to as the laws of Mendelian inheritance. [ 4]Mendel worked with seven characteristics of pea plants: plant height, pod shape and color, seed shape and color, and flower position and color. Taking seed color as an example, Mendel showed that when a true-breeding yellow pea and a true-breeding green pea were cross-bred their offspring always produced yellow seeds. However, in the next generation, the green peas reappeared at a ratio of 1 green to 3 yellow. To explain this phenomenon, Mendel coined the terms “ recessive ” and “ dominant ” in reference to certain traits. ( In the preceding example, the green trait, which seems to have vanished in the first filial generation, is recessive and the yellow is dominant.) He published his work in 1866, demonstrating the actions of invisible “factors”—now called genes —in predictably determining the traits of an organism. The profound significance of Mendel's work was not recognized until the turn of the 20th century (more than three decades later) with the rediscovery of his laws. ["

Mendel's observations became the foundation of modern genetics and the study of heredity, and he is widely considered a pioneer in the field of genetics. Synopsis Gregor Mendel, known as the \"\"father of modern genetics,\"\" was born in Austria in 1822. A monk, Mendel discovered the basic principles of heredity through experiments in his monastery's garden. His experiments showed that the inheritance of certain traits in pea plants follows particular patterns, subsequently becoming the foundation of modern genetics and leading to the study of heredity. Early Life Gregor Johann Mendel was born Johann Mendel on July 22, 1822, to Anton and Rosine Mendel, on his family’s farm, in what was then Heinzendorf, Austria. He spent his early youth in that rural setting, until age 11, when a local schoolmaster who was impressed with his aptitude for learning recommended that he be sent to secondary school in Troppau to continue his education. The move was a financial strain on his family, and often a difficult experience for Mendel, but he excelled in his studies, and in 1840, he graduated from the school with honors. Following his graduation, Mendel enrolled in a two-year program at the Philosophical Institute of the University of Olmütz."

Mendel was famous for working with pea plants. He breeded different kinds of pea plants to get certain kinds of colors of peas. Just like artists it took him to die for people to really listen to his theory. Luckily other scientists have proved his theory. Here are two quotes by gregor mendel: My scientific studies have afforded me great gratification; and I am convinced that it will not be long before the whole world acknowledges the results of my work. The value and utility of any experiment are determined by the fitness of the material to the purpose for which it is used, and thus in the case before us it cannot be immaterial what plants are subjected to experiment and in what manner such experiment is conducted.

"text": "Introduction to Mendelian Inheritance While working with pea plants, Gregor Mendel noticed that offspring were similar to their parent plants, which led him to some of the earliest theories about genetics. Learning Objectives Describe the traits of pea plants that were studied by Mendel Key Takeaways Key Points Mendel studied seven characteristics of the garden pea plants: flower color, seed texture, seed color, stem length, pod color, pod texture, and flower position to develop his Laws of Inheritance. Genetics is the study of genes passed from parents to offspring. Genes are the basic fundamental units of heredity. Key Termsgenetics: The branch of biology that deals with the transmission and variation of inherited characteristics, in particular chromosomes and DNA. Gregor Mendel and the Study of Genetics Genetics is the study of heredity, or the passing of traits from parents to offspring. Gregor Johann Mendel set the framework for genetics long before chromosomes or genes had been identified, at a time when meiosis was not well understood. For his work, Mendel is often referred to as the “father of modern genetics. ” Mendel selected a simple biological system, garden peas, and conducted methodical, quantitative analyses using large sample sizes. Gregor Mendel: Gregor Johann Mendel was a German-speaking Moravian scientist and Augustinian friar who gained posthumous fame as the founder of the modern science of genetics."

"text": "Mendel's Laws Written by tutor Laura R. By the 1800s, people generally understood that offspring inherited traits from their parents. Initially, however, it was thought that the traits of both parents blended together in their offspring. Called the “blending hypothesis”, this theory explained inheritance like two different liquids mixing together. Gregor Mendel’s careful work with thousands of pea plants in the 1860 proved the blending hypothesis wrong and explained how inheritance really happens. Mendel's Experiments Mendel studied several different traits of a pea plant. For example, some pea plants have purple flowers and others have white flowers. Pea plants can either self-fertilize or cross-fertilize. Crossing two plants is called hybridization. To start, however, Mendel needed plants that were true-breeding. This means that after generations of self-breeding, the pea plant expressed only one version of the trait."

Clearly they were conceived, and clearly there was some hereditary connection between parents and children, but the mechanisms were not readily apparent. The Greek philosophers had a variety of ideas: Theophrastus proposed that male flowers caused female flowers to ripen; Hippocrates speculated that \"\"seeds\"\" were produced by various body parts and transmitted to offspring at the time of conception, and Aristotle thought that male and female semen mixed at conception. Aeschylus, in 458 BC, proposed the male as the parent, with the female as a \"\"nurse for the young life sown within her\"\". During the 1700s, Dutch microscopist Anton van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) discovered \"\"animalcules\"\" in the sperm of humans and other animals. Some scientists speculated they saw a \"\"little man\"\" (homunculus) inside each sperm. These scientists formed a school of thought known as the \"\"spermists\"\". They contended the only contributions of the female to the next generation were the womb in which the homunculus grew, and prenatal influences of the womb. An opposing school of thought, the ovists, believed that the future human was in the egg, and that sperm merely stimulated the growth of the egg. Ovists thought women carried eggs containing boy and girl children, and that the gender of the offspring was determined well before conception."

A cross between two parents possessing a pair of contrasting characters is known as monohybrid cross. To carry out such a cross, each parent is chosen to be homozygous or true breeding for a given trait (locus).

Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Education and early career Born to a family with limited means in German-speaking Silesia, Mendel was raised in a rural setting. His academic abilities were recognized by the local priest, who persuaded his parents to send him away to school at the age of 11. His Gymnasium (grammar school) studies completed in 1840, Mendel entered a two-year program in philosophy at the Philosophical Institute of the University of Olmütz (Olomouc, Czech Republic), where he excelled in physics and mathematics, completing his studies in 1843. His initial years away from home were hard, because his family could not sufficiently support him. He tutored other students to make ends meet, and twice he suffered serious depression and had to return home to recover. As his father’s only son, Mendel was expected to take over the small family farm, but he preferred a different solution to his predicament, choosing to enter the Altbrünn monastery as a novitiate of the Augustinian order, where he was given the name Gregor. The move to the monastery took him to Brünn, the capital of Moravia, where for the first time he was freed from the harsh struggle of former years. He was also introduced to a diverse and intellectual community. As a priest, Mendel found his parish duty to visit the sick and dying so distressing that he again became ill."

Johann Gregor Mendel is considered the father of genetics. Johann Gregor Mendel (1822–1884) (Figure 1) was a lifelong learner, teacher, scientist, and man of faith. As a young adult, he joined the Augustinian Abbey of St. Thomas in Brno in what is now the Czech Republic. Supported by the monastery, he taught physics, botany, and natural science courses at the secondary and university levels. In 1856, he began a decade-long research pursuit involving inheritance patterns in honeybees and plants, ultimately settling on pea plants as his primary model system (a system with convenient characteristics used to study a specific biological phenomenon to be applied to other systems). In 1865, Mendel presented the results of his experiments with nearly 30,000 pea plants to the local Natural History Society. He demonstrated that traits are transmitted faithfully from parents to offspring independently of other traits and in dominant and recessive patterns. In 1866, he published his work, Experiments in Plant Hybridization, [1] in the proceedings of the Natural History Society of Brünn. Mendel’s work went virtually unnoticed by the scientific community that believed, incorrectly, that the process of inheritance involved a blending of parental traits that produced an intermediate physical appearance in offspring; this hypothetical process appeared to be correct because of what we know now as continuous variation."

During his childhood he worked as a gardener, and as a young man attended the Olmutz Philosophical Institute. In 1843 he entered an Augustinian monastery in Brunn, Czechoslovakia. Soon afterward, his natural interest in science and specifically hereditary science led him to start experiments with the pea plant. Mendel's attraction for scientific research was based on his love of nature in general. He was not only interested in plants, but also in meteorology and theories of evolution. However, it is his work with the pea plant that changed the world of science forever. His beautifully designed experiments with pea plants were the first to focus on the numerical relationships among traits appearing in the progeny of hybrids. His interpretation for this phenomenon was that material and unchanging hereditary elements undergo segregation and independent assortment."

Mendel's observations became the foundation of modern genetics and the study of heredity, and he is widely considered a pioneer in the field of genetics. Synopsis Gregor Mendel, known as the \"\"father of modern genetics,\"\" was born in Austria in 1822. A monk, Mendel discovered the basic principles of heredity through experiments in his monastery's garden. His experiments showed that the inheritance of certain traits in pea plants follows particular patterns, subsequently becoming the foundation of modern genetics and leading to the study of heredity. Early Life Gregor Johann Mendel was born Johann Mendel on July 22, 1822, to Anton and Rosine Mendel, on his family’s farm, in what was then Heinzendorf, Austria. He spent his early youth in that rural setting, until age 11, when a local schoolmaster who was impressed with his aptitude for learning recommended that he be sent to secondary school in Troppau to continue his education. The move was a financial strain on his family, and often a difficult experience for Mendel, but he excelled in his studies, and in 1840, he graduated from the school with honors. Following his graduation, Mendel enrolled in a two-year program at the Philosophical Institute of the University of Olmütz."

Gregor Johann Mendel Mendel was born in 1822 in what is now known as the Czech Republic. He was actually born Johann Mendel, and did not adopt the name Gregor until he joined a group of Augustinian friars. Mendel grew up on a farm long-owned by his family.

Mendel's observations became the foundation of modern genetics and the study of heredity, and he is widely considered a pioneer in the field of genetics. Synopsis Gregor Mendel, known as the \"\"father of modern genetics,\"\" was born in Austria in 1822. A monk, Mendel discovered the basic principles of heredity through experiments in his monastery's garden. His experiments showed that the inheritance of certain traits in pea plants follows particular patterns, subsequently becoming the foundation of modern genetics and leading to the study of heredity. Early Life Gregor Johann Mendel was born Johann Mendel on July 22, 1822, to Anton and Rosine Mendel, on his family’s farm, in what was then Heinzendorf, Austria. He spent his early youth in that rural setting, until age 11, when a local schoolmaster who was impressed with his aptitude for learning recommended that he be sent to secondary school in Troppau to continue his education. The move was a financial strain on his family, and often a difficult experience for Mendel, but he excelled in his studies, and in 1840, he graduated from the school with honors. Following his graduation, Mendel enrolled in a two-year program at the Philosophical Institute of the University of Olmütz."

"text": "A recessive trait is a trait caused by a recessive gene, which means that someone must inherit two copies of the gene for the trait to manifest. By contrast, a dominant trait only requires one copy of the gene. The concept of dominant and recessive traits in genetics was put forward by Gregor Mendel, a 19th century scientist who is often regarded as the father of genetics, thanks to his extensive work in the field. When organisms such as humans reproduce, they produce young with a genetic inheritance from both parents, caused by the fusing of haploid sperm with haploid eggs to create a diploid organism. In the case of humans, genetic material is encoded in 46 chromosomes, with 23 coming from each parent. Each chromosome contains a series of alleles or genes which code various information, from the color of the child's eyes to the way in which the feet develop. When the alleles from both parents are the same, someone is said to be homozygous at that allele. If a child inherits two different alleles, such as a gene for red hair and a gene for brown hair, he or she is said to be heterozygous at that allele. When someone inherits the same allele twice, that trait will manifest whether or not it is dominant. When someone is heterozygous, however, one of the alleles will remain inactive, and this allele represents a recessive trait."

Answer by Ayftracks Confidence votes 51The inheritance of biological characteristics is determined by individual units known as genes. They are passed from parent to offspring. In cases in which two or more alleles of the gene for a single trait exist, some forms of the gene may be dominant or recessive. In most sexually reproducing organisms, each adult has two copies of each gene- one from each parent. These are segregated from each other when gametes are formed. The alleles for different genes usually segregate independently of one another.5 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Johann Gregor Mendel is considered the father of genetics. Johann Gregor Mendel (1822–1884) (Figure 1) was a lifelong learner, teacher, scientist, and man of faith. As a young adult, he joined the Augustinian Abbey of St. Thomas in Brno in what is now the Czech Republic. Supported by the monastery, he taught physics, botany, and natural science courses at the secondary and university levels. In 1856, he began a decade-long research pursuit involving inheritance patterns in honeybees and plants, ultimately settling on pea plants as his primary model system (a system with convenient characteristics used to study a specific biological phenomenon to be applied to other systems). In 1865, Mendel presented the results of his experiments with nearly 30,000 pea plants to the local Natural History Society. He demonstrated that traits are transmitted faithfully from parents to offspring independently of other traits and in dominant and recessive patterns. In 1866, he published his work, Experiments in Plant Hybridization, [1] in the proceedings of the Natural History Society of Brünn. Mendel’s work went virtually unnoticed by the scientific community that believed, incorrectly, that the process of inheritance involved a blending of parental traits that produced an intermediate physical appearance in offspring; this hypothetical process appeared to be correct because of what we know now as continuous variation."

They realized that it was impossible to reconcile Darwinism with either the fossil record or the current knowledge of heredity. This delayed the acceptance of Darwin's work until about 1940. This pause became known as the \"\"Eclipse of Darwinism\"\". Darwin's Theory of Evolution, often a symbol of the clash of religion and science, would be revived because of heredity experiments conducted in a monastery, by Gregor Mendel, a Roman Catholic monk. The Eclipse of Darwinism By the turn of the twentieth century, Darwin's Theory of Evolution had already fallen out of favour. With good reason. There were two very big holes in the initial theory. One was that the explosion of life forms in the early Cambrian period had not been preceded by transitional forms."

Gregor Mendel had an enquiring mind. At the University of Vienna, he took as many science courses as he could. It was probably Mendel's exposure to physics under the tutelage of Christian Doppler that gave the mathematical context for his later experiments. Despite his responsibilities and his ever-increasing workload as prelate of the monastery, Gregor Mendel always found time for scientific investigations. Mendel tried to make practical use of what he found from his pea breeding experiments. He was a beekeeper; he designed beehives, and was working on breeding a strain of bees with improved honey production. Mendel was a noted meteorologist, a founding member of the Austrian meteorological society. Mendel kept daily logs of weather patterns, and did a careful analysis of the tornado that struck Brno in 1870."

"text": "\"By Abigail Cardinal, Danielle Kelly, Courtney Knapp, Mohammed Scruggs Biography Gregor Johann Mendel was born on July 20th, 1822 in the Austrian Empire, now the Czech Republic. He was an Augustinian friar of the Catholic church and a scientist. He eventually became the abbot of St. Thomas' Abbey, after which his scientific work decreased due to increasing administrative responsibilities. Mendel is known for pea-plant experiments and subsequent theories on genetics. During a seven year period, Mendel experimented with pea plants in the garden owned in his monastery. Mendel also worked with bees to determine genetic traits in animals. Mendel’s work was not widely recognized until after his death in 1884. There were several factors that influenced Mendel's theories, such as society, his interest in science, previous work by other scientists,and religion. Mendel's Influences Influences in science is one of the most fundamental questions in recording the history of science: each scientist is almost always inspired by earlier work. In his book about well known biologist, (including Mendel), Berger highlights the importance of inspiration by claiming that a scientists' discovery relies on the discovery made by another scientists' previous and similar work.

A cross between two parents possessing a pair of contrasting characters is known as monohybrid cross. To carry out such a cross, each parent is chosen to be homozygous or true breeding for a given trait (locus). When a cross satisfies the conditions for a monohybrid cross, it is usually detected by a characteristic distribution of second-generation (F 2) offspring that is sometimes called the monohybrid ratio.

S. victory within a matter of weeks. Codenamed Operation Urgent Fury, it was triggered by the internal strife within the People's Revolutionary Government that resulted in the house arrest and the execution of the previous leader and second Prime Minister of Grenada Maurice Bishop, and the establishment of a preliminary government, the Revolutionary Military Council with Hudson Austin as Chairman. The invasion resulted in the appointment of an interim government, followed by democratic elections in 1984. The country has remained a democratic nation since then. Grenada gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1974. The leftist New Jewel Movement seized power in a coup in 1979 under Maurice Bishop, suspending the constitution and detaining a number of political prisoners. In 1983, an internal power struggle began over Bishop's relatively moderate foreign policy approach, and on 19 October, hard-line military junta elements captured and executed Bishop, his partner Jacqueline Creft, along with three cabinet ministers and two union leaders. Subsequently, following appeals by the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States and the Governor-General of Grenada, Paul Scoon, the Reagan Administration in the U. S. quickly decided to launch a military intervention."

His character was on loan to the Brits in \"\"Where Eagles Dare.\"\" He was AWOL all through \"\"The Beguiled.\"\" \"\" Kelly's Heroes\"\" was an anti-war movie where Clint made friends with Nazis at the end. And \"\"Firefox\"\" was a spy story with Clint playing a military veteran pressed back to duty for a secret mission. We conclude Clint did not much care for war movies, and he made an odd one when he finally gave it a whirl in \"\"Heartbreak Ridge.\"\" Andrew finds \"\"Heartbreak Ridge\"\" entertaining and judges it \"\"not the best, but pretty good.\"\" Brad thinks it is mostly stupid because it is two different movies crammed unconvincingly into one. Clint plays a tough Marine Corps gunnery sergeant who has a habit of getting drunk and finding trouble."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The recorded history of the Caribbean island of Grenada begins in the early 17th century. First settled by indigenous peoples, by the time of European contact it was inhabited by the Caribs. French colonists drove most of the Caribs off the island and established plantations on the island, eventually importing African slaves to work on the sugar plantations. Control of the island was disputed by Great Britain and France in the 18th century, with the British ultimately prevailing. In 1795, Fédon's Rebellion, inspired by the Haitian Revolution, very nearly succeeded, and was crushed with significant military intervention. Slavery was abolished in the 1830s. In 1885, the island became the capital of the British Windward Islands. Grenada achieved independence from Britain in 1974. Following a coup by the Marxist New Jewel Movement in 1983, the island was invaded by United States troops and the government overthrown. The island's major crop, nutmeg, was significantly damaged by Hurricane Ivan in 2004."

The main goal was winning the Cold War and the rollback of Communism—which was achieved in Eastern Europe in 1989 and in the end of the Soviet Union in 1991, though most disagree with whom to credit, and how much. [ 1] It was characterized by a strategy of \"\" peace through strength \"\" and an escalation of Cold War tensions (1981–1984), followed by a warming of relations with the Soviet Union. As part of the policies that became known as the \"\" Reagan Doctrine \"\", the United States also offered financial and logistics support to the anti-communist opposition in central Europe and took an increasingly hard line against supposed or actual socialist and communist governments in Afghanistan, Angola, and Nicaragua.

The Reagan Administration implemented a new policy towards the Soviet Union through NSDD-32 ( National Security Decisions Directive) to confront the USSR on three fronts: to decrease Soviet access to high technology and diminish their resources, including depressing the value of Soviet commodities on the world market; to (also) increase American defense expenditures to strengthen the U. S. negotiating position; and to force the Soviets to devote more of their economic resources to defense. The massive American military build-up was the most visible. The administration revived the B-1 bomber program that had been canceled by the Carter Administration and began production of the MX \"\"Peacekeeper\"\" missile. In response to Soviet deployment of the SS-20, Reagan oversaw NATO 's deployment of the Pershing II missile in West Germany to gain a stronger bargaining position to eventually eliminate that entire class of nuclear weapons."

Here is Ronald Reagan on October 27, 1983, explaining his decision to invade Grenada in a nationally televised address: [Earlier this month, Prime Minister Maurice] Bishop was seized. He and several members of his cabinet were subsequently executed, and a 24-hour shoot-to-kill curfew was put in effect. Grenada was without a government, its only authority exercised by a self-proclaimed band of military men. There were then about 1,000 of our citizens on Grenada, 800 of them students in St. George’s University Medical School. Concerned that they’d be harmed or held as hostages, I ordered a flotilla of ships, then on its way to Lebanon with marines, part of our regular rotation program, to circle south on a course that would put them somewhere in the vicinity of Grenada in case there should be a need to evacuate our people. Last weekend, I was awakened in the early morning hours and told that six members of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States, joined by Jamaica and Barbados, had sent an urgent request that we join them in a military operation to restore order and democracy to Grenada…. These small, peaceful nations needed our help. Three of them don’t have armies at all, and the others have very limited forces."

"text": "\"Study: U. S. regime has killed 20-30 million people since World War Two James A. Lucas Counter Currents.org Tue, 24 Apr 2007 06:35 UTCIntroduction After the catastrophic attacks of September 11 2001 monumental sorrow and a feeling of desperate and understandable anger began to permeate the American psyche. A few people at that time attempted to promote a balanced perspective by pointing out that the United States had also been responsible for causing those same feelings in people in other nations, but they produced hardly a ripple. Although Americans understand in the abstract the wisdom of people around the world empathizing with the suffering of one another, such a reminder of wrongs committed by our nation got little hearing and was soon overshadowed by an accelerated \"\"war on terrorism.\"\" But we must continue our efforts to develop understanding and compassion in the world. Hopefully, this article will assist in doing that by addressing the question \"\"How many September 11ths has the United States caused in other nations since WWII?\"\" This theme is developed in this report which contains an estimated numbers of such deaths in 37 nations as well as brief explanations of why the U. S. is considered culpable. The causes of wars are complex. In some instances nations other than the U. S. may have been responsible for more deaths, but if the involvement of our nation appeared to have been a necessary cause of a war or conflict it was considered responsible for the deaths in it. In other words they probably would not have taken place if the U. S. had not used the heavy hand of its power. The military and economic power of the United States was crucial."

The decade started with the yet unresolved Iranian hostage crisis. For 444 days, American personnel of the US Embassy in Tehran were held hostage. The matter was resolved only after President Carter was out of office (the Iranians waited until President Reagan took the oath of office to allow the plane carrying the hostages to leave Tehran's Mehrabad Airport) and the Reagan administration agreed to unfreeze billions in Iranian assets. 1983 was a particularly hard year for American morale. In that year, a suicide bomber blew up the US embassy in Beirut. Of the almost 70 dead, 17 were were Americans. Later that year, an even bigger blow. Literally."

The admiral dubbed the island Concepcion, but passing Spanish sailors found its lush green hills so evocative of Andalusia that they rejected this name in favor of Granada. The French then adapted Granada to Grenade, and the British followed suit, changing Grenade to Grenada (pronounced Gre-nay-da). Although none of the European powers had any trouble naming the island, they found colonization a much more difficult prospect. For a century and a half, the Caribs repulsed all attempts at European settlement, until an enterprising French expedition from Martinique succeeded in purchasing extensive tracts of land in return for a few beads, knives, and hatchets. Hostilities between the Caribs and the French broke out almost immediately afterward, as the French endeavoured to extend their control over the whole of the island. Determined not to submit to French rule, the Caribs fought a succession of losing battles, and ultimately the last surviving Caribs jumped to their death off a precipice in the north of the island. The French named the spot \"\"Le Morne de Sauteurs,\"\" or \"\"Leapers' Hill. \"\" For the next ninety years, the French struggled unsuccessfully to keep the island from falling into the hands of the British. Fort George and Fort Frederick, which still command the heights overlooking St. George's harbour, are relics of that fight."

York to General James M. Gavin. But that’s not what the 82nd is really about. The real story of the 82nd is the thousands of unnamed paratroopers in jump boots, baggy pants and maroon berets, who have always been ready and willing to jump into danger and then drive on until the mission was accomplished. The 82nd has become so well known for its airborne accomplishments, that its proud World War I heritage is almost forgotten. The 82nd Infantry Division was formed August 25, 1917, at Camp Gordon, Georgia. Since members of the Division came from all 48 states, the unit was given the nickname “All-Americans,” hence its famed “AA” shoulder patch. In the spring of 1918, the Division deployed to France. In nearly five months of combat the 82nd fought in three major campaigns and helped to break the fighting spirit of the German Imperial Army. The 82nd was demobilized after World War I. For more than 20 years the “All-American Division” would live only in the memories of men who served in its ranks during the Great War. With the outbreak of World War II, the 82nd was reactivated on March 25, 1942 at Camp Claiborne, Louisiana under the command of Major General Omar N. Bradley."

The first successful European resident of the island was an enterprising French who managed to acquire property through the exchange of bits of land for few pieces of beads, knives, and hatchets. The French eventually managed to establish settlements but hostilities with the Carib Indians were common. The French were also fearful of British invasion, prompting them to build two Forts in the capital city of St. George's. Grenada was eventually handed over to the British in 1783 through the Treaty of Versailles. The British brought slaves from Africa and established sugar plantations on the island."

THE REVOLUTION TO THE CIVIL WARThe history of the United States Army and of the noncommissioned officer began in 1775 with the birth of the Continental Army . The American noncommissioned officer did not copy the British. He, like the American Army itself, blended traditions of the French, British and Prussian armies into a uniquely American institution. As the years progressed, the American political system, with its disdain for the aristocracy, social attitudes and the vast westward expanses, further removed the US Army noncommissioned officer from his European counterparts and created a truly American noncommissioned officer. The Revolution In the early days of the American Revolution, little standardization of NCO duties or responsibilities existed. In 1778, during the long hard winter at Valley Forge, Inspector General Friedrich von Steuben standardized NCO duties and responsibilities in his Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States (printed in 1779)."

By deftly manipulating the opportunities afforded Cuba by the Cold War, he managed to turn his island into a launching pad for the projection of his leadership throughout the world. Courtes U JFK Library Soviet Protection Castro's courtship of the Soviet Union began shortly after the revolution with a visit to Havana by Soviet Vice Premiere Anastas Mikoyan. As he took on the United States he knew he needed Soviet protection in order to survive. The Soviets played a cautious game, but could not pass up an opportunity to gain a toehold in the Western Hemisphere, ninety miles from the United States. At the end of Mikoyan's visit, the Soviets agreed to buy Cuban sugar in exchange for Soviet oil. The United States, already concerned with Castro's anti-American rhetoric, saw the agreement as a betrayal, and asked U. S. companies in Cuba not to refine the Soviet crude. Relations began spiraling down, until their final break in January 1961. Nuclear Crisis In December 1961, only a few months after the U.

"text": "\"Home > African Americans > Harriet Tubman Harriet Tubman Posted on 05/18/2010 by Maggie Mac Lean Conductor on the Underground Railroad Harriet Tubman was an African American abolitionist, humanitarian and Union spy during the Civil War. After escaping from slavery, she made thirteen missions back to the land of her servitude to rescue scores of slaves, using the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad. Image: Painting by Paul Collins: Harriet Tubman's Underground Railroad She was born Araminta Ross around 1820 the fifth of nine children born to slave parents, Harriet (\"\"Rit\"\") Green and Benjamin Ross, in Dorchester County on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. As with many slaves in the United States, neither the exact year nor place of her birth was recorded, and historians differ as to the best estimate. Harriet herself reported the year of her birth as 1825, while her death certificate lists 1815 and her gravestone says 1820. Early Life Harriet's mother, Rit, was a cook for the Brodess family. Her father Ben was a skilled woodsman who managed the timber work on the plantation. They married around 1808, and according to court records, they had nine children together: Linah, Mariah Ritty, Soph, Robert, Minty (Harriet), Ben, Rachel, Henry, and Moses. Because Harriet's mother was assigned to \"\"the big house\"\" and had little time for her own family, as a child, Harriet took care of a younger brother and a baby. Edward Brodess had too many enslaved people to profitably use on his own plantation, so he hired them out frequently."

"text": "\"A wax likeness of renowned abolitionist and conductor of the Underground Railroad Harriet Tubman is unveiled at Madame Tussauds in February 2012. ( Toni L. Sandys/The Washington Post)Yesterday, the Treasury announced that it was putting Harriet Tubman on the front of the $20 bill and booting Andrew Jackson to the back of it, prompting millions of Americans to turn to Google and ask: \"\" Who is Harriet Tubman? \"\" Google reported that search interest in the 19th century abolitionist spiked 4,250 percent after the announcement, and that questions about Tubman — who she was, what she did, when was she born — were the top questions people were asking on that site yesterday. Choosing the first woman to grace the nation's paper currency in decades is tricky, delicate business. The Treasury Department got off on the wrong foot last year when it announced a campaign to replace Alexander Hamilton — father of the Treasury and Broadway rock star — on the $10 bill. The obvious choice, as many people pointed out at the time, was to boot Andrew Jackson, known primarily for a brutal genocidal campaign against native Americans, off the $20. But if you can believe it, Treasury's initial plan last year, which didn't become known until this week, was even more muddle-headed. It would have simply replaced Alexander Hamilton with, of all people, Susan B. Anthony — the women's rights leader who today is known primarily for appearing on not one but two failed iterations of the $1 coin, first from 1979-1981 and then again in 1999. Fortunately, the Treasury department wised up, thanks in no small part to a viral social campaign to let Americans decide which woman to put on the $20. Harriet Tubman won that campaign, and that seems to have influenced Treasury's decision to make her the new face of the $20."

Her true services to the black race were never known but her true worth could never have been rewarded by human agency. Harriet’s death was indeed the passing of a brave woman. There was no regret but on the contrary she rejoiced in her final hours.

Yesterday afternoon when the trained nurse, Mrs. Martha Ridgeway of Elmira, and Dr. G. B. Mack had decided that her death was but the question of a few hours, Harriet asked for her friends, Rev.

April 20, 2016The International Connection Harriet Tubman is celebrated worldwide mostly for her Underground Railroad activity and her service in the Civil War. Heralded as a courageous freedom fighter and military genius, Tubman suffered from epileptic seizures, could not read or write and was never captured. Born into slavery in Maryland Tubman was probably between 25 and 30 years old when she escaped from slavery in 1849. She left her husband and family behind relying on the North Star and a secret group of anti-slavery activists who operated the Underground Railroad network. The Underground Railroad was neither underground nor a railroad. It was a secret humanitarian resistance movement of abolitionists who wanted to abolish slavery and many helped thousands of African Americans escape from bondage. Tubman tapped into the resistance network to make her escape to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Several months later the American government passed the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act."

Tubman, a slave and later prominent abolitionist who has been chosen as the face of the new $20 bill, had escaped a plantation and was partway through a near-90 mile journey from Maryland to Philadelphia, and from bondage to freedom. She left the plantation, in Dorchester County, Maryland, in September and travelled by night. Her exact route is unknown, but she probably walked along the Choptank river and journeyed through Delaware, guided by the North Star. Years later, she recalled the moment she entered Pennsylvania, where slavery was illegal: \"\"When I found I had crossed that line, I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person. There was such a glory over everything; the sun came like gold through the trees, and over the fields, and I felt like I was in Heaven. \"\" In the years that followed, Tubman returned again and again to Maryland to rescue others, conducting them along the so-called \"\"underground railroad\"\", a network of safe houses used to spirit slaves from the South to the free states in the North. A mock-up of the new $20 note Later, she became a Union spy during the Civil War, a prominent supporter of the women's suffrage movement, and a famous veteran of the struggle for the abolition of slavery. But in September 1849, aged 27, Tubman was an unknown slave, uncertain about her future in the wake of her master's death. Fearful of being sold further south, she gathered her two younger brothers, Benjamin and Henry, and on the night of the 17th they escaped."

"text": "Black abolitionist leader Harriet Tubman will appear on the front of the $20 bill, relocating the slaveholding former president Andrew Jackson to its rear, and founding father Alexander Hamilton will remain on the face of the $10 bill. The changes were announced Wednesday by Treasury Secretary Jack Lew as part of a historic overhaul of U. S. currency aimed at addressing America’s legacy of slavery and gender inequality. They came after a viral online campaign to feature a woman on the currency and, later, a push to preserve Hamilton’s place by historians and fans of the hit Broadway musical bearing his name. Lew called Tubman’s story “the essential story of American democracy” and the power of an individual to make a difference, adding that “so much of what we believe has changed for better for this country is reflected in what she struggled for. ”The saga over how U. S. currency would recognize the role of women and minorities has been fraught since the Treasury’s announcement last summer that it would seek to feature a woman on the $10 bill, the next in line to be redesigned with additional features to guard against counterfeiting and to assist the blind. The choice involved questions of who, on millions of pieces of paper currency, would represent the achievements of women and minorities in American history, and which historical figures to displace to make room for them. In the hotly anticipated unveiling, Lew described other changes to the $5 and $10 bills. Fans of Hamilton had worried that an announcement last year by the Treasury that it would put a woman on the $10 bill would displace the father of the modern U. S. economic system. But the new $10 bill will now recognize the role of women by featuring on its back an image of the 1913 march for women’s suffrage that ended at the Treasury Department. It will also honor women’s suffrage leaders such as Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Sojourner Truth."

Given the names of her two parents, both held in slavery, she was of purely African ancestry. She was raised under harsh conditions, andsubjected to whippings even as a small child. She slept as close to the fire as possible on cold nights and sometimes stuck her toes into the smoldering ashes to avoid frostbite. Cornmeal was her main source of nutrition and occasionally meat of some kind as her family had the privilege to hunt and fish. Most of her early childhood was spent with her grandmother who was too old for slave labor. At age six, Araminta was old enough to be considered able to work. She did not work in the fields though."

Flag How did the Underground Railroad get its name? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. The underground railroad actually got its name when a slave named Tice Davids escaped from Kentucky in 1831 and swam across the Ohio River to freedom in Ripley, Ohio. According to legend, Davids' owner was chasing him in a boat when he lost sight of his swimming slave. The owner thought Davids must have taken an 'underground railroad'. That comment was reported in the press, and the term has been used ever since. The underground railroad was named for the slaves' method of escape to freedom. \"\" Underground\"\" means the movement was secret and intentionally took place below the awareness of public officials and most members of society. The \"\"railroad\"\" designation took its name from the code for safe houses, which were called \"\"stations\"\" or \"\"depots,\"\" and the participating abolitionists, who were called \"\"station masters.\"\""

Harriet Tubman lived and worked enslaved in this area from her childhood until she escaped to freedom at age 27 in 1849. She returned to Dorchester County approximately 13 times to free family, friends, and other enslaved African Americans, becoming one of the most prominent \"\"conductors\"\" on the Underground Railroad. In 1859, she purchased a farm in Auburn, New York, and established a home for her family and others, which anchored the remaining years of her life. In the Civil War she supported the Union forces as a scout, spy, and nurse to African-American soldiers on battlefields and later at Fort Monroe, Virginia."

She helped hundreds of slaves travel northward, with many of them settling in Canada, outside the reach of American fugitive slave laws. Tubman became well-known in abolitionist circles in the years before the Civil War. She would speak at anti-slavery meetings, and for her exploits in leading slaves out of bondage she was revered as \"\"The Moses of Her People. \"\" Early Life Harriet Tubman was born on the Eastern Shore of Maryland about 1820 (like most slaves, she only had a vague idea of her own birthday). She was originally named Araminta Ross, and was called Minty. As was customary where she lived, young Minty was hired out as a worker and would be charged with minding younger children of white families. When she was older she worked as a field slave, performing arduous outdoor which included collecting lumber and driving wagons of grain to the Chesapeake Bay wharves. Minty Ross married John Tubman in 1844, and at some point, she began using her mother's first name, Harriet.

The international beauty icon, along with co-inventor George Anthiel, developed a \"\"Secret Communications System\"\" to help combat the Nazis in World War II. By manipulating radio frequencies at irregular intervals between transmission and reception, the invention formed an unbreakable code to prevent classified messages from being intercepted by enemy personnel. Lamarr and Anthiel received a patent in 1941, but the enormous significance of their invention was not realized until decades later. It was first implemented on naval ships during the Cuban Missile Crisis and subsequently emerged in numerous military applications. But most importantly, the \"\"spread spectrum\"\" technology that Lamarr helped to invent would galvanize the digital communications boom, forming the technical backbone that makes cellular phones, fax machines and other wireless operations possible. As is the case with many of the famous women inventors, Lamarr received very little recognition of her innovative talent at the time, but recently she has been showered with praise for her groundbreaking invention. In 1997, she and George Anthiel were honored with the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) Pioneer Award. And later in the same year, Lamarr became the first female recipient of the BULBIE™ Gnass Spirit of Achievement Award, a prestigious lifetime accomplishment prize for inventors that is dubbed \"\"The Oscar™ of Inventing. \"\" Proving she was much more than just another pretty face, Lamarr shattered stereotypes and earned a place among the 20th century's most important women inventors."

"text": "\"The birth of spread spectrum How \"\"The Bad Boy Of Music\"\" And \"\"The Most Beautiful Girl In The World\"\" Catalyzed A Wireless Revolution--In 1941By Anna Couey Today, spread spectrum holds the potential to revolutionize wireless communications, because it renders radio spectrum--a resource currently deemed so precious that only the largest of corporations can afford to buy it--plentiful enough for all of us. Spread spectrum is a highly efficient way of using radio waves to communicate, because it enables multiple users to share radio frequencies at the same time, without interfering with each other. Up until now, each radio station, for example, has been allocated a specific frequency over which to broadcast their programs. Since there are only so many bands of frequency within the entire radio spectrum, frequency bands are carefully allocated by the FCC for particular uses--such as commercial broadcasts, military communications, police radios, ham radios, etc. Currently the US government licenses radio frequencies to the highest corporate bidder. Spread spectrum stands the concept of spectrum scarcity on its head, and just might rearrange who has access to radio waves in the future. For now, spread-spectrum radios provide high-speed wireless access to the Internet, with absolutely no telephone fees. However, like many technology inventions, spread spectrum was designed for an entirely different purpose. The story of its birth and evolution is an epic drama of legendary proportions: World War II, avant-garde music and Hollywood all had a role in its creation. At the center of the story is a beautiful young woman, whose creativity and intelligence led her to revolutionize communications technology into the 21st century."

Actually, the plan for a multi-service branch, universal Honorable Discharge Lapel patch originated in 1919 at the close of WWI. The purpose of the patch, and later pin, was to permit Honorably Discharged military personnel to wear their uniform for a period of time after they left military service due to their inability to afford civilian clothes, while at the same time identify themselves as no longer active duty personnel. The pin version of the patch was intended to permit civilian dressed, Honorable Discharged personnel to identify their former military status easily when applying for work or veteran's benefits. The patch and pin were also intended to replace and supersede all previous Honorable Discharge devices. Neither the patch nor pin were put into production until years later.

In her biography she stated that on the day she was born, her father was in the midst of a card game trying to get money to pay the hospital costs. Her parents divorced while she was still a toddler. Her mother left later in order to find work as an actress and Lena was left in the care of her grandparents. When she was seven her mother returned and the two traveled around the state, which meant that Lena was enrolled in numerous schools (for a time she also attended schools in Florida, Georgia and Ohio). Later she returned to Brooklyn. She quit school when she was 14 and got her first stage job at 16, dancing and later singing at the famed Cotton Club in Harlem (a renowned theater in which black performers played before white audiences. It was immortalized in The Cotton Club (1984)). She was in good hands at the club, especially when people such as Cab Calloway and Duke Ellington took her under their wings and helped her over the rough spots. Before long her talent resulted in her playing before packed houses."

How? Amazoni Books Independent Booksellers At the height of her Hollywood career, actress Hedy Lamarr was known as \"\"the most beautiful woman in the world.\"\" For most of her life, her legacy was her looks. But in the 1940s — in an attempt to help the war effort — she quietly invented what would become the precursor to many wireless technologies we use today, including Bluetooth, GPS, cellphone networks and more. An Unlikely Beginning A new book by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Rhodes sets out to rewrite America's memory of Lamarr. Hedy's Folly: The Life and Breakthrough Inventions of Hedy Lamarr, The Most Beautiful Woman in the World, chronicles her life and the inventive side that is not often mentioned. Rhodes tells Rachel Martin, guest host of weekends on All Things Considered, that Lamarr had been fascinated with science as a child growing up in Austria, but pursued acting instead. Her first break into Hollywood came when she heard Louis Mayer of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios was scouting for actors. \"\" She went to see him in London."

She was the daughter of a salesman and his wife, Catherine, who herself was the daughter of Frank Lloyd Wright, the world-renowned architect. Anne was a young girl of 11 when her parents moved to New York City, which at that time was still the hub of the entertainment industry even though the film colony was moving west. The move there encouraged her to consider acting as a vocation. By the time she was 13 she had already appeared in a stage production and had garnered rave reviews from the tough Broadway critics. The play helped her gain entrance to an exclusive acting school. In 1937 Anne made her first foray into Hollywood to test the waters there in the film industry. As she was thought to be too young for a film career, she packed her bags and returned to the New York with her mother, where she continued to act in Broadway and summer stock up and down the East Coast. Undaunted by the failure of her previous effort to crack Hollywood, Anne returned to California two years later to try again. This time her luck was somewhat better."

[ 2]Written by František Horký, Gustav Machatý, Jacques A. Koerpel, and Robert Horký, the film is about a young woman who marries a wealthy but much older man. After abandoning her brief passionless marriage, she meets a young virile engineer who becomes her lover. Ecstasy was filmed in three language versions—German, Czech, and French. [ 3]Ecstasy was highly controversial in its time because of scenes in which Lamarr swims in the nude and runs through the countryside naked. It is also perhaps the first non- pornographic movie to portray sexual intercourse and female orgasm, although never showing more than the actors' faces. The film was celebrated as the first motion picture to include a nude scene, rather than the first to show sexual intercourse, for which it has a better claim. ["

Laura Barnett Sun 4 Dec 2011 16.29 EST16.29 EST1,826 61Hedy Lamarr: invented a torpedo guidance system Photograph: Everett Collection / Rex Feature L et's take a moment to reflect on the mercurial brilliance of Hedy Lamarr. Not only did the Vienna-born actor flee a loveless marriage to a Nazi arms dealer to secure a seven-year, $3,000-a-week contract with MGM, and become (probably) the first Hollywood star to simulate a female orgasm on screen – she also took time out to invent a device that would eventually revolutionise mobile communications. As described in unprecedented detail by the American journalist and historian Richard Rhodes in his new book, Hedy's Folly, Lamarr and her business partner, the composer George Antheil, were awarded a patent in 1942 for a \"\"secret communication system\"\". It was meant for radio-guided torpedoes, and the pair gave to the US Navy. It languished in their files for decades before eventually becoming a constituent part of GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology. Lamarr's inventing talents didn't stop there, though: she also came up with \"\"bouillon\"\" cubes to turn water into a Coke-like drink, and a \"\"skin-tautening technique based on the principles of the accordion\"\". Lamarr is not the only unlikely celebrity to have moonlighted as an inventor. In 1841, Abraham Lincoln preceded his US presidency with the invention of a flotation system for lifting riverboats stuck on sandbars; 30 years later, the writer Mark Twain patented (under his real name, Samuel L Clemens) an adjustable strap for \"\"vests, pantaloons and other garments requiring straps\"\". And in 1914, the early Hollywood star Florence Lawrence invented an \"\"auto-signalling arm\"\" for cars – a precursor of today's indicators."

She was the daughter of Gertrud (Lichtwitz), from Budapest, and Emil Kiesler, a banker from Lember (now known as Lviv). Her parents were both from Jewish families. Hedwig had a calm childhood, but it was cinema that fascinated her. By the time she was a teenager, she decided to drop out of school and seek fame as an actress, and was a student of theater director Max Reinhardt in Berlin. Her first role was a bit part in the German film Geld auf der Straße (1930) (aka \"\"Money on the Street\"\") in 1930. She was attractive and talented enough to be in three more German productions in 1931, but it would be her fifth film that catapulted her to worldwide fame. In 1932 she appeared in a German film called Ecstasy (1933) (US title: \"\"Ecstasy\"\") and had made the gutsy move to be nude. It's the story of a young girl who is married to a gentleman much older than she, but she winds up falling in love with a young soldier. The film's nude scenes created a sensation all over the world."

"text": "Henri Becquerel and the Discovery of Radioactivity Posted on December 13, 2011 by ansnuclearcafe By Paul Bowersox December 15, 1852, was the birthday of French physicist Antoine Henri Becquerel, who discovered a completely unknown property of matter in March 1896. Becquerel Some might say Becquerel’s discovery of “radioactivity” was a lucky accident—but as the Roman philosopher Seneca wrote in the 1st century, “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” Becquerel was prepared and had the opportunity, and here’s how he made the astonishing discovery of radioactivity. X-Rays The first human x-ray: Bertha Roentgen’s hand In January 1896, Wilhelm Röntgen astonished the world by circulating photographs of the bones in his hand, taken with the aid of his new discovery: X-rays. The photographs of the interior of the human body caused a worldwide sensation that year. It also stirred Antoine Henri Becquerel to action. Becquerel thought that the X-rays were coming from a region of Röntgen’s vacuum tube made phosphorescent by the cathode rays traveling through it, and as a world expert in phosphorescence, he immediately committed to find out whether all phosphorescent material produced these extraordinary X-rays. Phosphorescence First, let us illuminate the subject of phosphorescence, which was mysterious and a hot topic of research in the late 1800s. While luminescence is the emission of light by a substance not resulting from heat, phosphorescense is the special case of a material emitting light for some period of time after it has absorbed photons. It would take decades of research and the theory of quantum mechanics to construct a model of how a material could “store” energy and then slowly emit it in the form of light long after the source of energy had been removed."

Flag What did Marie Curie discover? Answer by Pr77x Confidence votes 9.2KMarie Curie is famous for discovering the element Radium, previously unknown. The history of this is an interesting progression, like so much in science. The physicist Roentgen discovered X-rays, and found that they would pass through solid matter, and also that they would affect photographic plates. The scientist Becquerel discovered that a mineral called pitchblende would affect these plates even through their wrappers, and suspected that the mineral was producing X-rays. This was puzzling, because Roentgen made X-rays using high voltages in a vacuum chamber, while pitchblende just sat there but somehow did the trick. Curie thought that there must be something unknown in pitchblende. She bought tons of it, and started trying to isolate something else from it. Eventually she managed to get a few grams of something from the tons of original stuff."

Aristotle did not have an atomic model due to the fact that he thought atoms did not exist.400Democritus Democritus was the first scientist to create a model of the atom. He was the first one to discover that all matter is made up of invisible particles called atoms. He created the name \"\"atom\"\" from the Greek word \"\"atomos\"\", which means uncuttable. He also discovered that atoms are solid, insdestructable, and unique. HIs model was just a round solid ball. Democritus didn't know about a nucleus or electrons, all he knew was that everything is made of atoms."

"text": "Discovery of radioactivity Like Thomson’s discovery of the electron, the discovery of radioactivity in uranium by French physicist Henri Becquerel in 1896 forced scientists to radically change their ideas about atomic structure. Radioactivity demonstrated that the atom was neither indivisible nor immutable. Instead of serving merely as an inert matrix for electrons, the atom could change form and emit an enormous amount of energy. Furthermore, radioactivity itself became an important tool for revealing the interior of the atom. German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen had discovered X-rays in 1895, and Becquerel thought they might be related to fluorescence and phosphorescence, processes in which substances absorb and emit energy as light. In the course of his investigations, Becquerel stored some photographic plates and uranium salts in a desk drawer. Expecting to find the plates only lightly fogged, he developed them and was surprised to find sharp images of the salts. He then began experiments that showed that uranium salts emit a penetrating radiation independent of external influences. Becquerel also demonstrated that the radiation could discharge electrified bodies. In this case discharge means the removal of electric charge, and it is now understood that the radiation, by ionizing molecules of air, allows the air to conduct an electric current."

( Bettmann/CORBIS)November 12, 2013There are things in the world that are too small to perceive directly, but that doesn't mean we can't measure them. Here are 11 teeny units of measurement used to describe tiny things.1. THE SHAKE When someone tells you they'll be \"\"back in two shakes!\"\" they are guaranteed to take much, much longer than that — at least if we're talking shakes in the sense used by physicists. The shake is a unit used to describe the time it takes for one step in a nuclear chain reaction, or 10 billionths of a second.2. THE JIFFY Even faster than the shake is the jiffy, a unit used to describe the time it takes for light to travel a distance the size of a nucleus. Light takes a little more than a second to travel from the moon to Earth, so to travel the span of a nucleus? Yeah, very fast. The jiffy is also used in other fields, like computer engineering, where it has to do with the computer's clock cycle."

"text": "\"History of Radiography X-rays were discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen (1845-1923) who was a Professor at Wuerzburg University in Germany. 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. One of Roentgen's first experiments late in 1895 was a film of the hand of his wife, Bertha."

"text": "\"Marie Curie: The Discovery of Radium Introduction: Marie Curie was a remarkable scientist who devoted her life to investigation of radioactivity, and was the first among many scientists to recognize that radioactivity is the result of changes in the atoms of an element. Marie Curie wondered what was radiation and how might understanding it benefit the human race. Throughout her investigations Marie Curie learned many things about radioactivity that proved the field to be extremely worthy of study. The largest controversy that surrounded Curie and her investigations of radioactivity is that she was a women in a time when women were not scientists. Ultimately, Marie Curie and her studies of radioactivity helped to open the field of atomic physics for study, while simultaneously opening doors for women in the field of science. Background Information: Marie Curie worked with her partner and husband Pierre during most of her life as a scientist. Perhaps the most significant work that Marie did was a few years following her marriage to Pierre . Much of Curie’s first work was on the study of magnetism; however as she researched magnetism a German physicist named Willliam Rontgen cathode rays outside of the typical cathode ray tubes that were commonly used. Rontgen, as well as many other scientists of the time, was experimenting with how thick of a surface cathode rays could penetrate. Rontgen gave the mysterious rays that could seemingly penetrate solid objects the name X-Rays, and he traveled the world demonstrating their fascinating properties."

"text": "Vol. 33 No. 1 January-February 2011A Short History of Polonium and Radiumby Jean-Pierre Adloff An illustration from Vanity Fair magazine, 1904 (Library of Congress). 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."

The background for this theory was the law of conservation of mass and the law of constant proportions. The first of these laws had been formulated by the French chemist Antoine Laurent Lavoisier in 1785. It was based on the exact process of weighing and states that there is no measurable change in mass during a chemical reaction. The second law was enunciated by the French chemist Joseph Louis Proust in 1799. It states that different samples of a substance contain its elements in the same proportions. Atomic Theory Definition Back to Top According to modern definition of atomic theory \"\"atom is a particle indivisible in chemical changes.\"\" The idea of atoms was later adopted by Dalton in his famous theory known as Dalton's atomic theory. Democritus Atomic Theory Back to Top Democritus proposed that everything is made of atoms and that these atoms were indivisible and the same all the way through. Atoms were all made of the same \"\"stuff\"\" and come in different shapes and sizes."

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."

"text": "Radioactivity Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Photo by: Kesu Radioactivity is the emission of radiation by unstable nuclei. That radiation may exist in the form of subatomic particles (primarily alpha and beta particles) or in the form of energy (primarily gamma rays). Radioactivity was discovered accidentally in 1896 by French physicist Henri Becquerel (1852–1908). In the decades that followed Becquerel's discovery, research on radioactivity produced revolutionary breakthroughs in our understanding of the nature of matter and led to a number of important practical applications. These applications include a host of new devices and techniques ranging from nuclear weapons and nuclear power plants to medical techniques that can be used for diagnosing and treating serious diseases. Stable and unstable nuclei The nucleus of all atoms (with the exception of hydrogen) contains one or more protons and one or more neutrons. The nucleus of most carbon atoms, for instance, contains six protons and six neutrons. In most cases, the nuclei of atoms are stable; that is, they do not undergo changes on their own. A carbon nucleus will look exactly the same a hundred years from now (or a million years from now) as it does today. But some nuclei are unstable."

Through her discovery of radium, Marie Curie paved the way for nuclear physics and cancer therapy. Born of Polish parents, she was a woman of science and courage, compassionate yet stubbornly determined. Her research work was to cost her her life.\"\" To the fatherland's great men, in gratitude .\"\" Prior to April 21, 1995, the famous inscription on the Panthéon's ornamental front really had to be taken literally. Indeed, the crypt, where some of the nation's most distinguished personalities lay buried, did not include a single woman, that is to say a woman honoured on her own merits. [ The Panthéon did, indeed, already contain the ashes of one woman, but only as the wife of the chemist and politician Marcellin Berthelot.] It is an injustice which President François Mitterrand sought to put right by transferring to the Panthéon the ashes of the physicist and chemist Marie Curie, and those of her husband. Besides conferring the added value of \"\"beings\"\" to the term \"\"men\"\", this gesture enabled the nation to honour a foreigner for her contribution to the prestige of French scientific research."

What is a Beta Particle? A beta particle is basically a high energy electron, but we don't call it an electron. Why? Because sometimes history wins over logic. 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."

Less than a minute later, everything within a mile of the bomb's detonation was obliterated. A massive firestorm rapidly destroyed miles more, killing tens of thousands of people. This was the first-ever use of an atomic bomb in warfare, and it used one famous element to wreak its havoc: uranium. This radioactive metal is unique in that one of its isotopes, uranium-235, is the only naturally occurring isotope capable of sustaining a nuclear fission reaction. ( An isotope is a version of the element with a differing number of neutrons in its nucleus. ) To understand uranium, it's important to understand radioactivity. Uranium is naturally radioactive: Its nucleus is unstable, so the element is in a constant state of decay, seeking a more stable arrangement. In fact, uranium was the element that made the discovery of radioactivity possible. In 1897, French physicist Henri Becquerel left some uranium salts on a photographic plate as part of some research on how light influenced these salts."

At age seven - after spending 12 weeks in a noisy one-room schoolhouse with 38 other students of ll ages - Tom's overworked and short tempered teacher finally lost his patience with the child's persistent questioning and seemingly self centered behavior. Noting that Tom's forehead was unusually broad and his head was considerably larger than average, he made no secret of his belief that the hyperactive youngster's brains were \"\"addled\"\" or scrambled. If modern psychology had existed back then, Tom would have probably been deemed a victim of ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and proscribed a hefty dose of the \"\"miracle drug\"\" Ritalin. Instead, when his beloved mother - whom he recalled \"\"was the making of me... [because] she was always so true and so sure of me... And always made me feel I had someone to live for and must not disappoint.\"\" - became aware of the situation, she promptly withdrew him from school and began to \"\"home-teach\"\" him."

( Underwood Archives / Getty Images)by Mary Bellis Updated April 20, 2017Thomas Edison's forebears lived in New Jersey until their loyalty to the British crown during the American Revolution drove them to Nova Scotia, Canada. From there, later generations relocated to Ontario and fought the Americans in the War of 1812. Edison's mother, Nancy Elliott, was originally from New York until her family moved to Vienna, Canada, where she met Sam Edison, Jr., whom she later married. When Sam became involved in an unsuccessful insurrection in Ontario in the 1830s, he was forced to flee to the United States and in 1839 they made their home in Milan, Ohio. Birth of Thomas Alva Edison Thomas Alva Edison was born to Sam and Nancy on February 11, 1847, in Milan, Ohio. Known as \"\"Al\"\" in his youth, Edison was the youngest of seven children, four of whom survived to adulthood. Edison tended to be in poor health when young. To seek a better fortune, Sam Edison moved the family to Port Huron, Michigan, in 1854, where he worked in the lumber business. Addled Brain?"

"text": "\"Humanities ›History & Culture History of Electricity Electrical Science Was Established in the Elizabethan Age Share Flipboard Email Print Paul Taylor/Getty Imagesby Mary Bellis Updated March 02, 2018The history of electricity begins with William Gilbert, a physician who served Queen Elizabeth the first of England. Before William Gilbert, all that was known about electricity and magnetism was that the lodestone possessed magnetic properties and that rubbing amber and jet would attract bits of stuff to start sticking. In 1600, William Gilbert published his treatise \"\"De magnete, Magneticisique Corporibus\"\" (On the Magnet). Printed in scholarly Latin, the book explained years of Gilbert's research and experiments on electricity and magnetism. Gilbert raised the interest in the new science greatly. It was Gilbert who coined the expression \"\"electrica\"\" in his famous book. Early Inventors Inspired and educated by William Gilbert, several Europeans inventors, including Otto von Guericke of Germany, Charles Francois Du Fay of France, and Stephen Gray of England expanded the knowledge. Otto von Guericke was the first to prove that a vacuum could exist. Creating a vacuum was essential for all kinds of further research into electronics. In 1660, von Guericke invented the machine that produced static electricity; this was the first electric generator."

He developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and a long-lasting, practical electric light bulb. Dubbed \"\"The Wizard of Menlo Park\"\" (now Edison, New Jersey) by a newspaper reporter, he was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production and large-scale teamwork to the process of invention, and because of that, he is often credited with the creation of the first industrial research laboratory. [ 1]Edison is the fourth most prolific inventor in history, holding 1,093 US patents in his name, as well as many patents in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. He is credited with numerous inventions that contributed to mass communication and, in particular, telecommunications. These included a stock ticker, a mechanical vote recorder, a battery for an electric car, electrical power, recorded music and motion pictures. His advanced work in these fields was an outgrowth of his early career as a telegraph operator. Edison originated the concept and implementation of electric-power generation and distribution to homes, businesses, and factories – a crucial development in the modern industrialized world. His first power station was on Manhattan Island, New York."

As we all know, Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, Alexander Graham Bell invented the phone, and Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin. Except they didn't. The ideas didn't spring, Athena-like, fully formed from their brains. In fact, they didn't spring fully formed from anybody's brains. That is the myth of the lonely inventor and the eureka moment. \"\" Simultaneous invention and incremental improvement are the way innovation works, even for radical inventions,\"\" Mark A. Lemley writes in his fascinating paper The Myth of the Sole Inventor. Lemley's paper concentrates on the history and problems of patents. But he also chronicles the history of the 19th and 20th century's most famous inventors -- with an emphasis on how their inventions were really neither theirs, nor inventions. Here is a super-quick summary of his wonderful distillation of the last 200 years in collaborative innovation."

In 1607 Henry Hudson was hired by the English Muscovy Company to lead the ship Hopewell on an expedition north of the European continent. The company hoped to discover a northeastern sea passage that led to the spice islands of the South Pacific. Route Taken and Obstacles Faced On his first voyage Henry Hudson reached Greenland but his path was blocked by ice. On his second voyage, a year later, he made it as far as the Arctic Ocean. The merchants of the Dutch East India Company were still convinced that there might be a separate passage to the northeast, and hired Henry Hudson in 1609 to lead an expedition on the ship Half Moon. Hudson had other ideas, however, and sailed in the other direction, across the Atlantic to North America. Accomplishments While on his third journey Henry Hudson found three waterways that were named after him; the Hudson River, Hudson Bay, and Hudson Strait. He aslo sailedfarther north than any explorer before him. Henry Hudson returned to North America for a fourth expedition in 1611."

The Spanish Empire. During the fifteenth and the sixteenth century the states of Europe began their modern exploration of the world with a series of sea voyages. The Atlantic states of Spain and Portugal were foremost in this enterprise though other countries, notably England and the Netherlands, also took part. These explorations increased European knowledge of the wider world, particularly in relation to sub-Saharan Africa and the Americas. These explorations were frequently connected to conquest and missionary work, as the states of Europe attempted to increase their influence, both in political and religious terms, throughout the world."

Historians know very little of Henry Hudson's youth. He was probably born in or near the city of London sometime between 1560 and 1570. It is likely that his family was wealthy and that his grandfather founded a trading company called the Muscovy Company. At some point in his life Henry married a woman named Katherine. They had at least three children including three sons named John, Oliver, and Richard. Henry grew up near the end of the Age of Exploration. Much of America was still uncharted. Northern Passage Many countries and trading companies at the time were searching for a new route to India. Spices from India were worth a lot of money in Europe, but were very expensive to transport."

The investigation of the World by British explorers contributed significantly to the development of modern society as we know it today. Explorers were expected to discover new lands, break records and map the world for future travellers. It was a dangerous but exhilarating opportunity for adventurers, whatever their social class, to advance scientific knowledge, acquire new mineral and agricultural resources and to make their own fortunes. Still, even those that succeeded often paid for their bravery with their lives. Of the top twenty British explorers, in this and the previous list, only three – just 15% – survived to old age.10.

The exploration of Canada began with the Inuit approximately 80,000 - 12,000 years. Though credited as being the first explorers into Canada's Arctic they did not leave written documentation to show that the most northern territories had been discovered. The rudimentary forms of exploration by Europeans into Canada began as early as 800 A. D. Apparently, the Norse (Vikings) from Norway colonized Iceland up to A. D. 874, then the Norse from Iceland under Erik the Red colonized Greenland in A. D. 986, and finally the Norse from Greenland repeatedly visited the Northeastern Coast of North America between about A. D. 1000 and 1350. [ 1] The Norse under the leadership of Leif Ericson, give the first glimpse of exploration into what would be Canada. An archeological dig in 1960 off the coast of N. F. L. (perhaps Vinyard) supports evidence of the Vikings having been to Canada long before other Europeans. The Vikings reported meeting and confronting with the local inhabitants who they referred to as 'Skraelings.' The English translated 'Skraelings' to mean \"\"wretches\"\" or \"\"savages.\"\" They were either Newfoundland Indians known as Beothuk or Dorset Inuit (Eskimo).

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search See also: Strait of Anián For other uses, see Northwest Passage (disambiguation). Northwest Passage routes The Northwest Passage (abbreviated as NWP) is, from the European and northern Atlantic point of view, the sea route to the Pacific Ocean through the Arctic Ocean, along the northern coast of North America via waterways through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. [ 1] [2] [3] [4] The eastern route along the Arctic coasts of Norway and Siberia is accordingly called Northeast Passage (NEP). The various islands of the archipelago are separated from one another and from the Canadian mainland by a series of Arctic waterways collectively known as the Northwest Passages or Northwestern Passages. [ 5]For centuries, European explorers sought a navigable passage as a possible trade route to Asia. An ice-bound northern route was discovered in 1850 by the Irish explorer Robert Mc Clure; it was through a more southerly opening in an area explored by the Scotsman John Rae in 1854 that Norwegian Roald Amundsen made the first complete passage in 1903–1906. Until 2009, the Arctic pack ice prevented regular marine shipping throughout most of the year. Arctic sea ice decline has rendered the waterways more navigable for ice navigation. [ 6] [7] [8] [9]The contested sovereignty claims over the waters may complicate future shipping through the region: the Canadian government maintains that the Northwestern Passages are part of Canadian Internal Waters, [10] but the United States and various European countries claim that they are an international strait and transit passage, allowing free and unencumbered passage. [ 11] [12] If, as has been claimed, parts of the eastern end of the Passage are barely 15 metres (49 ft) deep, [13] the route's viability as a Euro-Asian shipping route is reduced."

"text": "\"steamboatdefinition : steamboat A steamboat is a boat that is propelled primarily by steam power, typically driving propellers or paddlewheels. Steamboats sometimes use the prefix designation SS, S. S. or S/S (for 'Screw Steamer') or PS (for 'Paddle Steamer'), however these designations are most often used for steamships. The term steamboat is used to refer to smaller, insular, steam-powered boats working on lakes and rivers, particularly riverboats. As using steam became more reliable, steam power became applied to larger, ocean-going vessels. ==Background== ===Limitations of the Newcomen steam engine=== Early steamboat designs used Newcomen steam engines. These engines were very large and heavy and produced little power (unfavorable power to weight ratio). Also, the Newcomen engine produced a reciprocating or rocking motion because it was designed for pumping. The piston stroke was caused by a water jet in the steam-filled cylinder, which condensed the steam, creating a vacuum, which in turn caused atmospheric pressure to drive the piston downward. The piston relied on the weight of the rod connecting to the underground pump to return the piston to the top of the cylinder. The heavy weight of the Newcomen engine required a structurally strong boat and the reciprocating motion of the engine beam required a complicated mechanism to produce propulsion.===Rotary motion engines=== James Watt's design improvements increased the efficiency of the steam engine, improving the power to weight ratio, and created an engine capable of rotary motion by using a double-acting cylinder which injected steam at each end of the piston stroke to move the piston back and forth."

Native Americans and Germans had decided to side with the British. General Howe was about to take Philadelphia, the self-proclaimed capital of the new United States of America. The march of British General John Burgoyne down the Hudson River and General Henry Clinton up the Hudson River seemed to spell the end of the American resistance. This seemed all the more certain when General Burgoyne began his march by easily capturing Fort Ticonderoga. The British Plan General John Burgoyne's plan was to march from Canada, down the Hudson river, and to capture Albany. With the British already in control of New York, Burgoyne figured it would be child's play to take the Hudson river valley between the two cities once Albany was secured."

When explorers and fishers began trading with Aboriginal Peoples for fresh food, they learned that the Aboriginal Peoples had furs from the animals they hunted. The fur trade in Canada began because many Europeans wanted these furs. Both the French and the English used furs, especially beaver fur, to make hats and to trim other clothing. They became partners in the fur trade with the Aboriginal Peoples. The French built trading posts on the St. Lawrence River and traded with Aboriginal Peoples who came to their posts with furs. Later on, the French traveled west to find more furs. The English traded with the Aboriginal Peoples of Newfoundland and on the Atlantic coast south of the French settlements. The English formed the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1670 and built trading posts around Hudson Bay. The French and English competed with each other to get more furs from the Aboriginal Peoples."

JOHN ANDRE, CASE OFFICERRobert Amory, Jr. In May of 1779, two and a half years before its decisive victory at Yorktown, the Continental cause was in a precarious state. Stalemate in the north and almost uninterrupted British success in the south had brought not only despair to General Washington's forces and dissension among the revolutionary politicians, but also disenchantment to our French allies. At the same time, however, England was war-weary and Parliament was buffeted by Whig demands for a settlement on the colonists' terms. Thus all hung in balance, and it seemed one brilliant military stroke on either side could be enough to make the other give up the struggle. Raids and forages might go on endlessly, it was thought at Sir Henry Clinton's New York headquarters, but the capture of a critical position and a major corps of the rebels would bring elusive victory within grasp. Captain John Andre, who a month earlier had been made Clinton's intelligence chief, certainly saw it thus, and he apparently felt the situation as a personal challenge and opportunity. His professional competence, along with his social graces and artistic talents, had made him eminently successful at 28, but he was still consumed by ambition. His new responsibilities included that of encouraging defection among the enemy, and so his spirits must have vaulted when at this juncture there came into his office a man purporting to be an emissary from Major General Benedict Arnold.

In 1607 he was hired by the English Muscovy Company to lead the ship Hopewell on an expedition north of the European continent, in an effort to discover a northeastern sea passage to the spice islands of the South Pacific. He reached Greenland and Spitzbergen before his path was blocked by ice. On his second voyage, a year later, he made it as far as the archipelago of Novaya Zemlya in the Arctic Ocean. Still convinced that there might be a separate passage to the northeast, the merchants of the Dutch East India Company hired Hudson in 1609 to lead an expedition on the ship Halve Maen (Half Moon in English)."

"text": "3 Types of Sexual Reproduction that occurs in Bacteria (1869 Words)Article shared by : ADVERTISEMENTS: Types of sexual reproduction that occurs in bacteria are as follows: Cytologic observations and genetic studies indicate something like sexual reproduction, involving the fusion of two different cells and a transfer of hereditary factors occurs in bacteria although infrequently. Genetic recombination occurs in those bacteria that have been carefully studied and presumably occurs in other species as well. Image Courtesy : upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c7/Caduco.jpg/1280px-Caduco.jpg ADVERTISEMENTS: One of the most intensively studied species of bacteria, Escherichia coli has been shown to have sex-some act as males and transfer genetic information by direct contact with females. This ability to transfer genes is regulated by a fertility factor F+ which can itself be transferred to a female, thereby converting her into a male. The usual vegetative bacterial cells are haploid and in sexual reproduction part or all of the chromosome passes from the male cell to the female cell, yielding a cell, i.e., partly or completely diploid. Crossing over then occurs between the female chromosome and the male chromosome or fragment, followed by a process of segregation that yields haploid progeny cells.1. Bacterial transformation: The genetic transfer in bacteria also occurs by transformation, in which the DNA molecule of the donor cell, when liberated by its disintegration, is taken up by another recipient cell and its offspring inherit some characters of the donor cell. When different strains of bacteria are found in a mixed state either in culture or in nature, some of the resultant offspring possess a combination of characters of the parent strains. This phenomenon is known as recombination. The phenomenon of transformation was first recorded by Griffith (1928)."

Griffith's research established that a then-unknown molecule in a lethal strain of bacteria could transform nonlethal bacteria, making them able to kill mice. Avery and his colleagues added enzymes that destroyed either proteins or DNA to the mixtures that Griffith used in his experiments. In Avery's experiments, mice died only from bacterial solutions mixed with enzymes that destroyed proteins. Mice did not die from bacterial solutions mixed with enzymes that destroyed DNA. These experiments showed that DNA, not protein, changed bacteria from nonlethal to lethal. How did the Hershey-Chase \"\"blender experiments\"\" confirm Griffith's results? The Hershey-Chase \"\"blender experiments\"\" used radioactive sulfur to label the protein coats of one batch of bacteriophages and used radioactive phosphorus to label the DNA of another batch of bacteriophages."

"text": "\"In the first half of the twentieth century, Gregor Mendel's principles of genetic inheritance became widely accepted, but the chemical nature of the hereditary material remained unknown. Scientists did know that genes were located on chromosomes and that chromosomes consisted of DNA and proteins. At the time, however, proteins seemed to be a better choice for the genetic material, because chemical analyses had shown that proteins are more varied than DNA in their chemical composition, as well as in their physical properties. Therefore, the eventual identification of DNA as the hereditary material came as a surprise to scientists. This breakthrough resulted from a series of experiments with bacteria and bacteriophages, or viruses that infect bacteria. Together, these experiments demonstrated that DNA was transferred between generations and that this molecule had the ability to transform the properties of a cell.

Friedrich Miescher (1844–1895) discovered nucleic acids. Modern understandings of DNA have evolved from the discovery of nucleic acid to the development of the double-helix model. In the 1860s, Friedrich Miescher (Figure 1), a physician by profession, was the first person to isolate phosphate-rich chemicals from white blood cells or leukocytes. He named these chemicals (which would eventually be known as RNA and DNA) nuclein because they were isolated from the nuclei of the cells. To see Miescher conduct an experiment step-by-step, click through this review of how he discovered the key role of DNA and proteins in the nucleus. A half century later, British bacteriologist Frederick Griffith was perhaps the first person to show that hereditary information could be transferred from one cell to another “horizontally,” rather than by descent. In 1928, he reported the first demonstration of bacterial transformation, a process in which external DNA is taken up by a cell, thereby changing morphology and physiology. He was working with Streptococcus pneumoniae, the bacterium that causes pneumonia."

Each trait (in the plant) is controlled by a pair of genes and that during gamete formation, members of a gene pair separate from each other. Mendel's work on pea plants established the principles of gene transmission from parents to offspring that form the foundation for the science of genetics. Gregor Mendel used controlled crosses to explain this process. He said you can have different genotypes leading to the same phenotype. What is the chromosome theory of inheritance, and how is it related to Mendel's findings? Based on the parallels between Mendel's model of heredity and the behavior of chromosomes, the chromosome theory of inheritance emerged. It states that inherited traits are controlled by genes residing on the chromosomes that are transmitted by gametes. Define genotype and phenotype, describe how they are related.

The human love of sweet treats can be traced all the way back to cavemen who extracted honey from beehives, according to a timeline prepared by the National Confectioners Association (NCA). In Europe's Middle Ages, sugar candy was a delicacy available only to the rich, but by the seventeenth century boiled sugar candies were popular in both England and the American colonies. By the mid-1800s almost 400 American factories were producing candy, which usually took the form of penny candy sold loose from glass cases. Americans also enjoyed homemade hard candies such as peppermints and lemon drops. By the late 1800s the discovery of sugar beet juice and the development of more efficient mechanical equipment led to the introduction of such products as candy corn in the 1880s and Tootsie Rolls in 1896. Other items on the timeline include: peppermint sticks, 1901; NECCO Wafers, 1901; Conversation Hearts, 1902; Life Savers, 1912; the chewy candies that would eventually be called Gummi Bears, 1922; Tootsie Roll Pops, 1931; Marshmallow Peeps, 1954; Atomic Fireballs, 1950; Starburst Fruit Chews with Vitamin C, 1960; and Lemonheads, 1962. According to the NCA, the stories behind some of the most popular candies are as follows: Candy Canes Candy canes can be traced, or so goes the legend, to 1670 when the choirmaster of the Cologne Germany Cathedral handed out sugar sticks to his singers. It wasn't until the beginning of the twentieth century, however, that red and white stripes and peppermint flavor became the accepted norm. Candy Corn Candy corn was invented in the 1880s by George Renninger, who worked for the Wunderlee Candy Company."

It is widely considered one of the greatest records in basketball. Chamberlain set five other league records that game including most free throws made, a notable achievement, as he was regarded as a poor free throw shooter. The teams broke the record for most combined points in a game (316). That season, Chamberlain averaged a record 50.4 points per game, and he had broken the NBA single-game scoring record (71) earlier in the season in December with 78 points. The third-year center had already set season scoring records in his first two seasons. In the fourth quarter, the Knicks began fouling other players to keep the ball away from Chamberlain, and they also became deliberate on offense to reduce the number of possessions for Philadelphia. The Warriors countered by committing fouls of their own to get the ball back. The game was not televised, and no video footage of the game has been recovered; there are only audio recordings of the game's fourth quarter.

Molecular biology mostly takes place on a scale too small to be directly observed by researchers. While cells, organelles, and even macromolecules can be visualized with high-powered microscopes, the molecular processes that drive biology cannot be seen and need to be inferred from experiments. Radioactive isotopes are versions of elements such as carbon, nitrogen, or phosphorus that unstable and release neutrons to become more stable isotopes. The radioactive signal given off by the emission of neutrons allows scientists to detect the isotopes even when they cannot be seen.

"text": "Describe the ways in which Germany broke the Treaty of Versailles in the period 1935–1938. Summary Hitler’s had said in Mein Kampf (1924) that he would abolish the Treaty of Versailles. The Treaty had said he could only have an army of 100,000 men. Hitler built up his army in secret, then, in 1935, he openly held a huge rearmament rally. Britain made a naval agreement with Germany (the Treaty had said that Germany could only have 6 battleships). In 1936, Hitler introduced conscription, and war-tested his armed forces in the Spanish Civil War. In 1936, also, Hitler broke the Treaty of Versailles by moving troops into the Rhineland demilitarised zone. Hitler also broke the Treaty of Versailles in 1938 bye invading Austria and declaring Anschluss. By the end of 1938, Hitler was doing the same thing in the Sudentenland, which the Treaty of Versailles had given to Czechoslovakia. It can be argued that it was not just Hitler who broke the Treaty of Versailles, but also Britain and France, when they allowed him to do what he did."

Open Document The Policy of Appeasement as the Most Important Reason for the Outbreak of the Second World War The outbreak of the Second World War had many causes, one of which was the policy of appeasement which was one of the most important causes. The policy of appeasement, between 1936 – 1939 was the policy of giving in to Hitler’s demands to prevent another conflict. This was a one of the major causes of the Second World War as Britain and France could have stopped Hitler much earlier on, for example the invasion of the Sudetenland, but instead they allowed Hitler to take what he wanted in 1938 when the Sudetenland was handed to him. This policy of giving in to Hitler’s demands to avoid another conflict allowed Hitler to keep demanding for more land to expand the German empire. He gained much for Germany, an example of his never ending demands was the invasion of the whole of Czechoslovakia, in March 1939, after he had been appeased and had been given the Sudetenland. Clearly, Hitler’s demands could never be satisfied and he was finally stood up to by Britain and France in September 1939 when Hitler invaded Poland. The policy of appeasement, which Neville Chamberlain had supported, actually encouraged Hitler to take more and more as he realised he wouldn’t be opposed. This led to the outbreak of the Second World War as Britain and France realised Germany to be the threat and aggressor as he had taken so much land such as Czechoslovakia (1939), Austria (1938), The Rhineland (1936) and the Saar land (1935). Hitler had gone too far and Britain and France knew they had to crush this German expansion in Europe. However, there were many other causes for the Second World War, one of which was the German invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939."

"text": "Humanities ›History & Culture How Treaty of Versailles Contributed to Hitler's Rise Share Flipboard Email Print1933: Adolf Hitler (1889 - 1945), chancellor of Germany, is welcomed by supporters at Nuremberg. Hulton Archive / Getty Imagesby Robert Wilde Updated June 30, 2017In 1919, a defeated Germany was presented with the peace terms by the victorious powers of World War 1. Germany hadn’t been invited to negotiate them, and was presented with a stark choice: sign, or be invaded. Perhaps inevitably given the previous years of mass bloodshed German leaders did, and the result was the Tre aty of Versailles. But from the very start, the terms of Versailles caused anger, even hate, sometimes revulsion in parts of German society. Versailles was called a ‘diktat’, a dictated peace. The map of German Empire from 1914 was split up, the military carved to the bone, and huge reparations had to be paid. It was a treaty which caused turmoil in the new and highly troubled German republic. But born of the German Revolution, Weimar survived and lasted into the thirties. Versailles was criticized at the time by voices from among the victors, including economists like Keynes."

At that time German economy was crushed and Italy was also affected but after a year or so, since their economy did not depend on the global economy. Both were able to come up with solutions to aid the economy and thus attracting the commoners to vote for them and support them in order to fight off the great depression. However they both had different leading causal factors in mind while trying to gain control of their countries. Although these causal factors were influenced by certain events from the 1 st world war, Hitler’s intentions were more nationalistic while Mussolini’s intentions were imperialistic. Though they did have similar goals, Mussolini and Hitler both want to be powerful and controlling, Mussolini wanted to be superior while Hitler wanted to dominate Europe which is also a form of superiority. Their rise to power also scared the French, they were in fear that Fascist powers were becoming too strong, yet they were more fearful of communism spreading which allowed Mussolini and Hitler to abuse that fact and fool France and England. Hitler’s purposes derived mainly from the Treaty of Versailles and effects of the 1st world war. These influenced the nationalistic intentions of Hitler before and during his reign. He was unhappy with the results of the Treaty, or even disgraced that Germany would accept the war guilt clause even if it wasn’t their fault."

Leaders of 32 states representing about 75% of the world's population, attended. However, the five major powers, the United States, Britain, France, Italy, and Japan dominated negotiations. Important figures in these negotiations included Georges Clemenceau [France], David Lloyd George [Britain], Vittorio Orlando [Italy], and Woodrow Wilson [United States]. The Versailles Treaty was one of the products of the conference. The Germans believed that the treaty would be based on President Wilson’s Fourteen Points, which offered a framework for a just peace, and the hopes that any future international tension would be prevented. The Germans believed the Fourteen Points would have resulted in drastically less devastation to Germany if used in the treaty."

But barely 14 years later, the elected German parliament voted to hand over its powers to Adolph Hitler. In 1871, the modern state of Germany was formed. During the 19th century, many people had yearned to unite Germany, but one man was responsible, Chancellor Otto von Bismarck of Prussia. Working for the Prussian monarch, Bismarck had provoked two short wars—one with Austria and the other with France—to achieve his goal of uniting Germany. He considered the new German state the “second reich.” ( Reich is German for “empire.”) The first reich was the Holy Roman Empire (800–1806) founded by German emperors in medieval times. The new reich had a constitution and parliament (Reichstag)."

The Treaty of Versailles was imposed on Germany in 1919 by the winning allies, who included Britain and France. The Treaty consisted of five main points. The first was stated in clause 231 and blamed Germany and Germany alone for the war. This point angered the Germans as they felt it was extremely unjust. Great Britain had been involved in the naval race with Germany and so Germany was hostile towards being singled out and punished. Germany now saw Great Britain as an aggressive colonial power. The second point was reparations. Reparations called for Germany to pay �6600milion, as they were responsible for the war."

"text": "Germany and the Treaty of Versailles Germany and the Treaty of Versailles The Treaty of Versailles was received very badly within Germany. The nation had been blamed entirely for the first world war and had been forced to pay compensation to the allies under the war guilt clause of the treaty. The war guilt clause not only made the Germans accept responsibility for the war but also cost them dearly. 10% of German lands were lost as a result, all of Germany’s overseas colonies were taken away and shared between the allies and a massive 12.5% of the German population found itself living outside of the new German borders. These terms had several very dramatic consequences on Germany. Initially they refused to sign the treaty and opted to scuttle the fleet in protest. The Physical impact of the Treaty The Treaty of Versailles radically altered the Geography of Europe. The Treaty had clauses that resulted in areas of land being taken from Germany. The following maps illustrate the scale of these losses: From these maps it is clear that Germany suffered large territorial losses. The provinces of Alsace and Lorraine returned to France; parts of Schleswig were ceded to Denmark; to the east, new countries were created to roughly match the ethnic balance of the area and finally, ‘The Polish Corridor’ was created which gave the Poles a broad strip of land that connected it to the sea – and consequently separated Eastern Prussia from the rest of Germany."

It was named after Weimar, the city where the constitutional assembly took place. Following World War I, the republic emerged from the German Revolution in November 1918. In 1919, a national assembly was convened in Weimar, where a new constitution for the German Reich was written, then adopted on 11 August of that same year. The ensuing period of liberal democracy lapsed by 1930, when Hindenburg assumed dictatorial emergency powers, leading to the ascent of the nascent Nazi Party and Adolf Hitler in 1933. The legal measures taken by the new Nazi government in February and March 1933, commonly known as the machtergreifung (seizure of power) meant that the government could legislate contrary to the constitution."

Howser was memorialized Tuesday during a public “Sunset Salute” service at Griffith Observatory organized by LA councilmember Tom La Bonge. Online tributes created by ardent fans, as well as a map pinpointing all of Howser’s episode locations, has also sprung up. In a previous phone interview, Morris told The Huffington Post that the best way to remember Howser and his legacy was to visit Chapman University in Orange, Calif. The TV host had donated his life’s work, including artifacts and a desert retreat, to the university in the years before his death. The records are also available online."

Knowing nothing about the drug trade, he enlists the aid of his former student, Jesse Pinkman, to sell the meth he produces. Walt's scientific knowledge and dedication to quality lead him to produce crystal meth that is purer and more potent than any competitors'. To avoid the tedious collection of pseudoephedrine required for production, Walt devises an alternative chemical process utilizing methylamine, giving his product a distinctive blue color. His crystal meth, which is given the street name \"\"Blue Sky,\"\" dominates the market, leading to confrontations with established drug makers and dealers. Walt is initially squeamish about the use of violence, but gradually comes to see it as a necessity. He also comes to find his new status as a drug lord psychologically rewarding, leading him to become less and less reluctant to resort to criminal acts such as theft, extortion, money laundering, depraved indifference, and murder."

Founded on March 31, 1782, it was the ninth Spanish mission established in California and the last to be established by Father Junípero Serra. The mission was named after Saint Bonaventure, a 13th century Franciscan saint and Doctor of the Church. The mission is located in the historic downtown of Ventura. Mission San Buenaventura was planned to be founded in 1770, but the founding was delayed because of the low availability of the military escorts needed to establish the mission. In 1793, the first church burned down. Today, only a small section of the entire mission complex still stands; the cemetery to the left of the church is covered by a school."

Named after Saint Louis of Anjou, the bishop of Toulouse, the mission is the namesake of the city of San Luis Obispo and San Luis Obispo County. The Mission church of San Luis Obispo is unusual in its design in that its combination of belfry and vestibule is found nowhere else among the California missions. The main nave is short and narrow (as is the case with other mission churches), but at San Luis Obispo there is a secondary nave of almost equal size situated to the right of the altar, making this the only L-shaped mission church among all of the California missions.

With only minor topographical prominence the peak is not naturally noticeable from a distance, although it is easily identifiable due to the large number of antennas near its summit. It is a subsidiary peak of nearby San Gabriel Peak. It is the location of the Mount Wilson Observatory, which is an important astronomical facility in Southern California with historic 60-inch (1,524 mm) and 100-inch (2,540 mm) telescopes, and 60-foot (18.3 m) and 150-foot (45.7 m) solar towers. The newer CHARA Array, run by Georgia State University, is also sited there and does important interferometric stellar research. The summit is at 5,710 feet (1,740 m). While not the tallest peak in its vicinity, it is high enough in elevation that snow can sometimes interrupt astronomical activities on the mountain. All of the mountains south of the summit are far shorter leading to unobstructed views across the Los Angeles Basin, Orange County, the Inland Empire, and out to Ventura County, San Diego County and the Pacific Ocean. On most days Santa Catalina Island, California, some 65 miles south, is visible. On clear days, other Channel Islands visible include San Clemente Island at 95 miles, Santa Barbara Island at 76 miles, San Nicolas Island at 107 miles, Santa Cruz Island at 98 miles and San Miguel Island at 133 miles."

Humankind got many advantages- economies boomed as there was a mass demand for jobs, leading to immigration. Humans could now mass produce and export goods, in order to accomodate for the growing population. Obviously, there were some bad effects- the working classes were put in horrible conditions, where they worked long days for low wages, with little benefits or protection. This led to many revolutions, rebellions, labor unions, and organizations, as people pushed for the rights of these working class. Today, the rights and protection of these workers has been guaranteed ( in the US, in general), and we get all the benefits from Industrialization, like being able to support our huge population.

Create a free account Maybe later Sort Liberalism Liberalism is a political ideology whose central theme is a commitment to the individual and to the construction of the society in which individuals can satisfy their interests or achieve fulfilment. The core values of liberalism are individualism, rationalism, freedom, justice and toleration. The liberal belief that human beings are, first and foremost, individuals, endowed with reason, implies that each individual should enjoy the maximum possible freedom consistent with a like freedom for all. However, although individuals are 'born equal' in the sense that they are of equal moral worth and should enjoy formal equality and equal opportunities, liberals generally stress that they should be rewarded according to their differing levels of talent or willingness to work and therefore favour the principle of meritocracy. A liberal society is characterised by diversity and pluralism and is organised politically around the twin values of consent and constitutionalism, combined to form the structures of liberal democracy. Conservatism Conservatism, as a political attitude, is defined by the desire to conserve and is reflected in a resistance to, or at least suspicion of, change. However, although the desire to resist change may be the recurrent theme within conservatism, what distinguishes conservatism as an ideology from rival political creeds is the distinctive way in which this position is upheld. The central themes of conservative ideology are tradition, human imperfection, organic society, authority and property."

The human popula-tion will increase by 1 billion people in the next decade. This is like adding the whole population of China to the world's population. The growth in human population around the world affects all people through its impact on the economy and environ-ment. The current rate of population growth is now a significant burden to human well-being. Understanding the factors which affect population growth patterns can help us plan for the future. The purpose of this unit is to examine some important factors about overpopula-tion. This unit addresses: (1) the definition of overpopulation (2) the causes of rapid population growth, (3) the consequences of rapid population growth, and (4) ac-tions and strategies that can be developed to solve problems caused by overpopula-tion.

The Americans were not viewed as equals to Englishmen, and the colonists for the most part considered themselves to be English. The reasons for the rebellion were numerous; Americans wanted representation in Parliament and relaxed laws which governed the colonies. The English saw America as an economic colony. America was meant to be a market for English goods and not a manufacturer of goods. The English discouraged American industry and did not want Americans producing goods that would compete with those made in England There was also the issue of taxes that were imposed by England to finance the costs of the French and Indian War which had been fought by both British troops and Americans. Many thought that it was unfair to impose those taxes on people who were not permitted to vote on them. The initial purpose of the American revolution was to protest the inequities of the English Law."

This verbal battle came to be known as the Enlightenment. During this period, questioning the authority was forbidden, and could land one in jail. The philosophers of this era risked their very beings in order to present propositions, which exploited principles such as freedom of press, trade, toleration, reason, and education. During this time, being a part of the Aristocrat class was a mark indicating quality of life. Aristocrats lived in cities like London, or Paris where they were surrounded by extreme beauty. They dressed beautifully and attended balls. This way of life did not seem fair to the workers of society. Conversely, ideas of Enlightenment sounded promising. Denis Diderot, one of the philosophers of the Enlightenment era, pioneered revolutionary thoughts, which gained him a place among the great thinkers that formed part of the Enlightenment movement."

"text": "The Ideas of Karl Marx Alan Woods 21 June 2013Share Tweet+1The ideas of Marx have never been more relevant than they are today. This is reflected in the thirst for Marxist theory at the present time. In this article, Alan Woods deals with the main ideas of Karl Marx and their relevance to the crisis we're passing through today. It is 130 years since the death of Karl Marx. But why should we commemorate a man who died in 1883? In the early 1960s the then Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson declared that we must not look for solutions in Highgate cemetery. And who can disagree with that? In the aforementioned cemetery one can only find old bones and dust and a rather ugly stone monument. However, when we speak of the relevance of Karl Marx today we refer not to cemeteries but to ideas—ideas that have withstood the test of time and have now emerged triumphant, as even some of the enemies of Marxism have been reluctantly forced to accept. The economic collapse of 2008 showed who was outdated, and it was certainly not Karl Marx."

"text": "Automation, the application of machines to tasks once performed by human beings or, increasingly, to tasks that would otherwise be impossible. Although the term mechanization is often used to refer to the simple replacement of human labour by machines, automation generally implies the integration of machines into a self-governing system. Automation has revolutionized those areas in which it has been introduced, and there is scarcely an aspect of modern life that has been unaffected by it. The term automation was coined in the automobile industry about 1946 to describe the increased use of automatic devices and controls in mechanized production lines. The origin of the word is attributed to D. S. Harder, an engineering manager at the Ford Motor Company at the time. The term is used widely in a manufacturing context, but it is also applied outside manufacturing in connection with a variety of systems in which there is a significant substitution of mechanical, electrical, or computerized action for human effort and intelligence. In general usage, automation can be defined as a technology concerned with performing a process by means of programmed commands combined with automatic feedback control to ensure proper execution of the instructions. The resulting system is capable of operating without human intervention. The development of this technology has become increasingly dependent on the use of computers and computer-related technologies. Consequently, automated systems have become increasingly sophisticated and complex."

It is, in fact, the foundation of civilization: it cultivates easily, stores for years in kernel form, releasing its nutritional bounty when the seed is ground and prepared into fresh breads or porridges. This is how grains have been consumed over the millennia: stored in whole kernel form and milled fresh, full of life and nutrients. It’s a 10,000 year food tradition. But in the last few generations, something’s gone wrong. At farmers' markets and natural food stores, we've talked to hundreds of people about wheat. And it’s very clear to us: modern wheat is making people sick. More and more people are going \"\"gluten-free\"\" to fix long-standing digestion issues and they feel better. Yet, it is also very clear that there is more to this than gluten. For instance, we get many people telling us how they can't eat gluten so they eat spelt or Kamut."

"text": "\"Lecture 17The Origins of the Industrial Revolution in England The political and moral advantages of this country, as a seat of manufactures, are not less remarkable than its physical advantages. The arts are the daughters of peace and liberty. In no country have these blessings been enjoyed in so high degree, or for so long a continuance, as in England. Under the reign of of just laws, personal liberty and property have been secure; mercantile enterprise has been allowed to reap its reward; capital has accumulated in safety; the workman has \"\"gone forth to his work and to his labour until the evening;\"\" and, thus protected and favoured, the manufacturing prosperity of the country has struck its roots deep, and spread forth its branches to the ends of the earth. [ Edward Baines, The History of the Cotton Manufacture in Great Britain, 1835]In the eighteenth century, a series of inventions transformed the manufacture of cotton in England and gave rise to a new mode or production -- the factory system. During these years, other branches of industry effected comparable advances, and all these together, mutually reinforcing one another, made possible further gains on an ever-widening front. The abundance and variety of these innovations almost defy compilation, but they may be subsumed under three principles: the substitution of machines -- rapid, regular, precise, tireless -- for human skill and effort; the substitution of inanimate for animate sources of power, in particular, the introduction of engines for converting heat into work, thereby opening to man a new and almost unlimited supply of energy; the use of new and far more abundant raw materials, in particular, the substitution of mineral for vegetable or animal substances. These improvements constitute the Industrial Revolution. [ David Landes, The Unbound Prometheus , 1969]The Industrial Revolution of the late 18th and early 19th centuries was revolutionary because it changed -- revolutionized -- the productive capacity of England, Europe and United States. But the revolution was something more than just new machines, smoke-belching factories, increased productivity and an increased standard of living."

"text": "History of technology, the development over time of systematic techniques for making and doing things. The term technology, a combination of the Greek technē, “art, craft,” with logos, “word, speech,” meant in Greece a discourse on the arts, both fine and applied. When it first appeared in English in the 17th century, it was used to mean a discussion of the applied arts only, and gradually these “arts” themselves came to be the object of the designation. By the early 20th century, the term embraced a growing range of means, processes, and ideas in addition to tools and machines. By mid-century, technology was defined by such phrases as “the means or activity by which man seeks to change or manipulate his environment.” Even such broad definitions have been criticized by observers who point out the increasing difficulty of distinguishing between scientific inquiry and technological activity. A highly compressed account of the history of technology such as this one must adopt a rigorous methodological pattern if it is to do justice to the subject without grossly distorting it one way or another. The plan followed in the present article is primarily chronological, tracing the development of technology through phases that succeed each other in time. Obviously, the division between phases is to a large extent arbitrary. One factor in the weighting has been the enormous acceleration of Western technological development in recent centuries; Eastern technology is considered in this article in the main only as it relates to the development of modern technology."

Photograph: Alamy H uman beings (members of the genus Homo) have existed for about 2.4m years. Homo sapiens, our own wildly egregious species of great apes, has only existed for 6% of that time – about 150,000 years. So a book whose main title is Sapiens shouldn't be subtitled \"\"A Brief History of Humankind\"\". It's easy to see why Yuval Noah Harari devotes 95% of his book to us as a species: self-ignorant as we are, we still know far more about ourselves than about other species of human beings, including several that have become extinct since we first walked the Earth. The fact remains that the history of sapiens – Harari's name for us – is only a very small part of the history of humankind. Can its full sweep be conveyed in one fell swoop – 400 pages? Not really; it's easier to write a brief history of time – all 14bn years – and Harari also spends many pages on our present and possible future rather than our past. But the deep lines of the story of sapiens are fairly uncontentious, and he sets them out with verve. For the first half of our existence we potter along unremarkably; then we undergo a series of revolutions."

( ( C) 2013 to the Estate of Stanley Tretick LLC)By Interviews by Michael Fletcher; Videos by Ryan R. Reed Smithsonian Magazine | Subscribe July 2013Ken Howard, a D. C. student working a summer job at the post office before entering Howard University in the fall, took a bus downtown to join a massive gathering on the National Mall. “ The crowd was just enormous,” he recalls. “ Kind of like the feeling you get when a thunderstorm is coming and you know it is going to really happen. There was an expectation and excitement that this march finally would make a difference. ”Only a few months before, in that electric atmosphere of anticipation, 32-year-old singer-songwriter Sam Cooke composed “A Change Is Gonna Come,” the song that would become the anthem of the civil rights movement. The potent symbolism of a demonstration at the Lincoln Memorial—timed to coincide with the centenary of the Emancipation Proclamation and following President John F. Kennedy’s announcement in June that he would submit a civil rights bill to Congress—transfixed the nation. The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom also catapulted 34-year-old Martin Luther King Jr., who set aside prepared notes to declare “I Have a Dream,” into the realm of transcendent American orators. Behind the scenes, the lead organizer, Bayard Rustin, presided over a logistical campaign unprecedented in American activism. Volunteers prepared 80,000 50-cent boxed lunches (consisting of a cheese sandwich, a slice of poundcake and an apple)."

"text": "Martin Luther King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech, delivered at the 28 August 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, synthesized portions of his previous sermons and speeches, with selected statements by other prominent public figures. King had been drawing on material he used in the “I Have a Dream” speech in his other speeches and sermons for many years. The finale of King’s April 1957 address “A Realistic Look at the Question of Progress in the Area of Race Relations,” envisioned a “new world,” quoted the song “My Country ’Tis of Thee,” and proclaimed that he had heard “a powerful orator say not so long ago, that… Freedom must ring from every mountain side…. Yes, let it ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado…. Let it ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia. Let it ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee. Let it ring from every mountain and hill of Alabama. From every mountainside, let freedom ring” ( Papers 4:178─179 ). King borrowed this final segment from a speech that Archibald Carey, a minister, politician, and King family friend, delivered at the 8 July 1952 Republican National Convention. King capped the 1957 speech by paraphrasing lyrics from the spiritual Free at Last: “And when that happens we will be able to go out and sing a new song: ‘Free at last, free at last, great God almighty, I’m free at last’” ( Papers 4:179 )."

"text": "\"Volume VIII · Winter 1953 · Number 2 The Story of The Pledge of Allegiance to The Flag --FRANCIS BELLAMY, '76It is a frequent if tragic jest that so few of our hundred millions and over of patriotic Americans can repeat all the words of even the first verse of the \"\"Star Spangled Banner. \"\" But there is one patriotic form of words which untold millions, who went through the public schools at any time since the early nineties, can say without hesitation over a word. It is the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag: I pledge allegiance to my flag and to the Republic for which it stands-one Nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Since 1892 public-school children have daily or weekly stood on their feet, facing the flag, and said it in their treble unison. Allowing for the many exceptions, it may be said safely that at least in every primary- and grammar-school grade where the teacher feels it a duty to teach patriotism, or where the Board of Education has authorized patriotic training, this pledge has been part of the regular school ritual. Once, during the Spanish-American War, at the evening guard mount as the flag was lowered, the writer heard a company of Pittsburgh volunteers, led by a top sergeant, repeat it as they stood stiffly at salute. When asked why, the sergeant remarked, \"\"It was that kind of stuff a few years ago in school that made us fellows feel we had a country, and that's why we enlisted. \"\" Twenty years later, at a community Fourth of July observance in 1918, at the time our young men were fighting in France, as the flag went up the halliards, the leader of the meeting said to the audience, \"\"Let us unite in the old pledge of allegiance we learned in school,\"\" and the great crowd of adults voiced it back without hesitation. More recently, at a meeting of Boy Scouts, presided over by the veteran founder of that organization, Colonel Dan Beard, the writer heard the thousand or more, standing at attention, shout \"\"I pledge allegiance to my flag\"\" and the rest of the words. In answer to his questions, Colonel Beard said: \"\"Why, that's said by the Boy Scouts every time they have a roundup, big or little--and for that matter, by the Pioneer Girls and the Campfire Girls too."

His unexpected landslide victory in the March 2004 Illinois U. S.

Obama was told in early July 2004 that he was chosen to deliver the address, and he largely wrote the speech himself, with later edits from the Kerry presidential campaign. Delivered on the second night of the DNC in just under 20 minutes, the address included both a biographical sketch of Obama, his own vision of America, and the reasons for his support of Kerry for the presidency. Unlike almost all prior and all subsequent convention keynote addresses, it was not televised by the commercial broadcast networks, and was only seen by a combined PBS, cable news and C-SPAN television audience of about nine million.

His eloquence as a speaker and his personal charisma, combined with a deeply rooted determination to establish equality among all races despite personal risk won him a world-wide following. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Price in 1964 and was selected by Time magazine as its Man of the Year. His “I Have a Dream” speech, which is now considered to be among the great speeches of American history, is frequently quoted. His success in galvanizing the drive for civil rights, however, made him the target of conservative segregationists who believed firmly in the superiority of the white race and feared social change. He was arrested over 20 times and his home was bombed. Ultimately, he was assassinated on April 4, 1968, on the balcony of a motel where he was staying in Memphis.

Although all blacks were supposed to be free, under a corrupt law system, blacks were victimized mercilessly. Therefore, blacks decided to try and change the system and multiple civil rights activists and groups appeared. The most notable activist of them was Martin Luther King Jr. of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, or the SCLC (Martin Luther King, Jr. Biography). Throughout the 1960s, King engaged in various civil rights boycotts and protests, helping to further the movement and gaining its eventual victory. Out of all of his civil rights-related efforts, the “I Have a Dream” speech, given on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the “March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom” in 1963 (“March on Washington For Jobs and Freedom). The speech had a massive impact as it managed to illustrate the racist problems of the time and provoke the audience into feeling sympathy while providing hope to the depressed African-American population. Sadly, the speech also made the movement and King very popular, making his opponents treat him as a threat, causing him to be assassinated 5 years later and he was unable to enjoy the fruits of his work. The reason for “I Have a Dream” massive impact is due to the tense social mood of the time and that it reflects the conditions of the time, giving black activists a vision for the future. It struck directly into the hearts of blacks across America, made whites ashamed of their actions and willing to have a new start and shook society to its roots."

This photograph of Idi Amin captures the strong, stern side of his nature. Born without a named father in 1925, he was the subject of controversy in his mother's village. He was raised by his mother, a traditional herbalist, and her family in a Roman Catholic household until he decided to convert to Islam and attend an Islamic school. In 1946, he joined the British colonial military regiment, the King's African Rifles, and quickly rose from an entry-level position as a cook to the highest position that could be held by a black African in the British army, a warrant officer. In 1961, he became one of the first two black commissioned officers in the regiment when he was promoted to lieutenant.

Do I shelve a novel about China with my fiction books or my China books? These are problems of categorization. Each of us approaches the matter differently. “ Hard” categorizers insist that everything should go into one bucket or another, while “soft” categorizers are more tolerant of ambiguity, more willing to leave objects in some fuzzy middle ground. A clever political scientist has shown that persons of a politically conservative inclination are more likely to be “hard” categorizers. That’s me, and that’s why thinking about Puerto Rico drives me crazy."

Discrimination Sometimes there are social or cultural factors that hold back poor countries. Discrimination is one of these. If there are certain people groups that are discriminated against, the country’s overall productivity can suffer. This may be a tribe, a caste, a racial category or minority language group. I have already mentioned Cameroon, which has both French speaking and English speaking regions. All the infrastructure happens in the French speaking part. French speakers in Canada complain of the opposite. Welsh speakers in Britain, or Catalans in Spain, have historically faced similar problems. Racial discrimination may be an issue, excluding certain groups from economic activity, either deliberately or not."

However Catherine fell from favor with Henry VIII. Henry had another daughter, Elizabeth, with Anne Boleyn in 1533. Mary was sent to be a lady in waiting for her half sister. Henry VIII died in 1547 and he was replaced by his 9 year old son Edward. Both Edward and his protector, the Duke of Northumberland were Protestants.

It's hard to imagine that thousands of them have suffered from acts of genocidal massacre. Since their independence in 1962 Ugandans have suffered many violations of human rights including government sponsored violence, forced exiles, imprisonment without trial and genocide. They've had massacres directly against certain ethnic groups. Over 1,000 people die each week of starvation and preventable diseases and on top of that more than two million people have been killed, maimed, imprisoned or forced into exile. \"\" Northern Uganda is the worst place on earth to be a child today,\"\" says a former United Nations Under Secretary General for Children in Armed Conflicts. That's definitely right!Causes There are many causes for the killings in Uganda but the main reason is the regimes of the power hungry Milton Obote and the infamous Idi Amin. They have both caused violence and a lot of bloodshed. Obote became prime minister in 1962 and in 1966 he suspended the constitution, removed the ceremonial and vice president and maintained all government powers. Uganda became a republic in 1967 which gave the president even more power."

"text": "0:00Copy What you need to know about Susan Rice View Photos The U. S. ambassador to the United Nations may be President Obama’s next national security adviser. By Colum Lynch March 9, 2013UNITED NATIONS — Susan E. Rice, the U. S. ambassador to the United Nations who lost out in a bruising bid for the job of secretary of state, may have the last laugh. Rice has emerged as far and away the front-runner to succeed Thomas E. Donilon as President Obama’s national security adviser later this year, according to an administration official familiar with the president’s thinking. The job would place her at the nexus of foreign-policy decision making and allow her to rival the influence of Secretary of State John F. Kerry in shaping the president’s foreign policy. The appointment would mark a dramatic twist of fortune for Rice, whose prospects to become the country’s top diplomat fizzled last year after a round of television appearances in which she provided what turned out to be a flawed account of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the U. S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya. That episode ignited a firestorm of criticism from Senate Republicans, who questioned her honesty and vowed to oppose her nomination and exposed misgivings from more liberal detractors who questioned whether her temperament, her family’s investments and her relations with African strongmen made her unfit to lead the State Department. In plotting her political rehabilitation, Rice has kept whatever disappointment she may have felt in check, employing humor to blunt the indignity of the experience. View Graphic At the same time, her staff has sought to erect a more protective shield around her, moving to restrict access by mid-level foreign delegates suspected of leaking details about her more controversial positions and sometimes undiplomatic remarks in confidential deliberations at the United Nations. Last month, Rice marked her reentry onto the national political stage with an appearance on Comedy Central’s “Daily Show” with Jon Stewart, a sympathetic host who denounced the “malevolence” of her Republican critics and urged her to respond with her trademark cussing. “ What would you say to them?”"

Museveni's apparent willingness to sign the anti-homosexuality bill – taking all \"\"scientific\"\" evidence into account – was a simple transaction whose reward would be another term in power. No, it was not a hideous, shameful trade-off that he and his party's MPs did behind closed doors. Everything was captured on camera and broadcast for all to see. To show his commitment to the MPs, in the meantime he signed a law that many have understood to outlaw miniskirts. Ululation at the promise to stomp gays and immorality out of the country was followed by members of parliament pleading, begging, and cajoling the old man. Could he please run one more term, if only to finish the fight against poverty that he started 28 years ago, fix the roads whose funds his ministers already spent on personal projects and put drugs in hospitals his family would not trust to treat a cold or to deliver a first daughter's baby. The highlight was a female MP, Evelyn Anite, kneeling down to present the petition that endorsed the president as the sole candidate for his party come 2016.

Keystone/Getty Imagesby Alistair Boddy-Evans Updated April 04, 2018Idi Amin Dada, who became known as the 'Butcher of Uganda' for his brutal, despotic rule whilst president of Uganda in the 1970s, is possibly the most notorious of all Africa's post-independence dictators. Amin seized power in a military coup in 1971 and ruled over Uganda for 8 years. Estimates for the number of his opponents who were either killed, tortured, or imprisoned vary from 100,000 to half a million. He was ousted in 1979 by Ugandan nationalists, after which he fled into exile. Date of birth: 1925, near Koboko, West Nile province, Uganda Date of death: 16 August 2003, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia An Early Life Idi Amin Dada was born in 1925 near Koboko, in the West Nile Province of what is now the Republic of Uganda. Deserted by his father at an early age, he was brought up by his mother, a herbalist and diviner. He was a member of the Kakwa ethnic group, a small Islamic tribe that was settled in the region. Success in the King's African Rifles Idi Amin received little formal education: sources are unclear whether or not he attended the local missionary school. However, in 1946 he joined the King's African Rifles, KAR (Britain's colonial African troops), and served in Burma, Somalia, Kenya (during the British suppression of the Mau Mau) and Uganda."

There are so many diverse religions practised in different parts of Africa including traditional religions which exists within particular tribes in particular regions. According to a survey by Britannica.com and a compilation by AFK Insider, these are the most popular religions in the continent.1. Christianity Population: 488,880,000All affiliations of Christianity are included in one category for the purposes of this list: Roman Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox, Anglicans, Independent and non-affiliated Christians. Smaller sects are also included such as Unitarians, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Christian Science, and Religious Science. But also prominent are sects of Christianity that are unique to Africa or most prominent on the African continent, such as Pentecostalism and other African-Christian denominations.2. Islam: Population: 421,938,820Mirroring the statistics of the rest of the world, the Muslim population in Africa is predominantly Sunni, but there is a large Shia population as well. Additionally, Sufism has a large presence, or a more mystical dimension of Islam that is sometimes considered its own philosophy altogether. Unsurprisingly, the largest pockets of Muslims live in Northern Africa, but the Horn of Africa, the Swahili Coast, and West Africa also have large populations."

I have no desire to exhume shocking matters , which will cause a great deal of heart ache to a vast section of my people. Still I have thought about it , dwelt on it for a day, and decided to go ahead. It must be recorded that Bengalis are very proud of Amartya Sen, and the intellectuals revere him more than the great Saurav Ganguli. After a Bengali reads this post, Amartya Sen wil be taken down from his pedestal. As soon as Amartya Sen won the Nobel prize in 1998 for Economic sciences 10.4 lakh Bengalis delirious with joy had taken out a rally on the streets of Calcutta, dancing for hours. Amartya Sen first caught the white man's eye when he did a Rudyard Kipling-- that the brown man of Asia is the European white man's burden. He focused on the gutters of India, self inflicted poverty , lack of free press in all his works, which the white man lapped up. This was the hidden reason his nationalist first Hindu wife left him, as told to a Bengali writer.. Let me put it on record , that I have no desire to give any importance to a pseudo Indian Amartya Sen , who holds the world record for the number of international humanitarian awards and number of honorary doctorates ( 54 ) . To check out this ridiculous and mind boggling list , check out Amartya Sen on Wikipedia, which is a free encyclopedia run by Rothschild , more as a propaganda tool-- always available on page one of the Internet search engine Google Amartya Sen was given the Nobel prize on Rothschild's recommendation ( for the economics of famine ) and also the Bharat Ratna by our W who also signed away India's nuclear rights too."

Atoms have three main important subatomic particles that are proton, neutron & electron. Proton & neutron have a much greater mass than the electron as one proton equals to 1/1840 electrons. Neutrons & protons are tightly bound together to form the nucleus of the atom hence nucleus contains all the mass. Neutron is electrically neutral where protons & electrons carry +ve & -ve charge respectively. Electrons occupy shells around the nucleus whereas protons are there in the nucleus as we know Evolution of atoms: 1. Democritus was the first one to come up with the postulates stating that everything is made of atoms, atoms are indivisible & are solid & small particles & called them atomos, this all happened between 460BC-370BC 2. The Dalton came up with his theory & research stating that atoms cannot be created or destroyed in chemical reactions, all atoms of the same element are perfectly identical & each element has a different atom and a different atomic weight. year 1766-1844 3.

"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": "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": "\"previous home next Models of the Atom Michael Fowler, University of Virginia Early String Theory The first attempt to construct a physical model of an atom was made by William Thomson (later elevated to Lord Kelvin) in 1867. The most striking property of the atom was its permanence . It was difficult to imagine any small solid entity that could not be broken, given the right force, temperature or chemical reaction. In contemplating what kinds of physical systems exhibited permanence, Thomson was inspired by a paper Helmholtz had written in 1858 on vortices. This work had been translated into English by a Scotsman, Peter Tait, who showed Thomson some ingenious experiments with smoke rings to illustrate Helmholtz' ideas. The main point was that in an ideal fluid, a vortex line is always composed of the same particles, it remains unbroken , so it is ring-like. Vortices can also form interesting combinations -- A good demonstration is provided by creating two vortex rings one right after the other going in the same direction. They can trap each other, each going through the other in succession. This is probably what Tait showed Thomson, and it gave Thomson the idea that atoms might somehow be vortices in the ether. Of course, in a non ideal fluid like air, the vortices dissipate after a while, so Helholtz' mathematical theorem about their permanence is only approximate."

At the age of 14 he became a student at Owens College, the University of Manchester, where he studied mathematics, physics and engineering.

Thomson: Computational Chemistry and Gas Discharge Experiments Sir Joseph John Thomson OM PRS [1] (18 December 1856 – 30 August 1940) was an English physicist and Nobel Laureate in Physics, credited with the discovery and identification of the electron; and with the discovery of the first subatomic particle. In 1897, Thomson showed that cathode rays were composed of previously unknown negatively charged particles, which he calculated must have bodies much smaller than atoms and a very large value for their charge-to-mass ratio. [ 2] Thomson is also credited with finding the first evidence for isotopes of a stable (non-radioactive) element in 1913, as part of his exploration into the composition of canal rays (positive ions).

"text": "\"The Electric Experiment by J. J. Thomson J. J. Thomson was one of the great scientists of the 19th century; his inspired and innovative cathode ray experiment greatly contributed to our understanding of the modern world. Like most scientists of that era, he inspired generations of later physicists, from Einstein to Hawking. His better-known research proved the existence of negatively charged particles, later called electrons, and earned him a deserved Nobel Prize for physics. This research led to further experiments by Bohr and Rutherford, leading to an understanding of the structure of the atom. What is a Cathode Ray Tube? Even without consciously realizing it, most of us are already aware of what a cathode ray tube is. Look at any glowing neon sign or any ‘old-fashioned’ television set, and you are looking at the modern descendants of the cathode ray tube. Physicists in the 19th century found out that if they constructed a glass tube with wires inserted in both ends, and pumped out as much of the air as they could, an electric charge passed across the tube from the wires would create a fluorescent glow. This cathode ray also became known as an ‘electron gun’. Later and improved cathode ray experiments found that certain types of glass produced a fluorescent glow at the positive end of the tube."

"text": "\"Sir J. J. Thomson (1856 - 1940)Sir Joseph John Thomson, often known as J. J. Thomson, was born on December 18, 1856, in Cheetham Hill, a suburb of Manchester, England, to Scottish parentage. His father, a bookseller, wanted him to be an engineer, but did not have the fee for J. J. 's apprenticeship. So Thomson entered Owens College (now the Victoria University) in Manchester. His professor of mathematics recognized his brilliance, and he was encouraged to apply for a scholarship at Trinity College in Cambridge. He was accepted in 1876 and became a Fellow in 1880, when he became Second Wrangler (a student who has completed the third year of mathematics with first-class honors. The highest-scoring student is named the Senior Wrangler, the second-highest is the Second Wrangler, etc.). He was chosen Master of Trinity in 1918 and guided the college until shortly before his death. In 1884, Thomson became Cavendish Professor of Physics. In 1890, he married Rose Paget, and he had two children with her. One of his students was Ernest Rutherford, who would later succeed him in the post."

As with any scientific theory, an atomic theory is based on scientific evidence available at any given time and serves to suggest future lines of research about atoms. The concept of an atom can be traced to debates among Greek philosophers that took place around the sixth century B. C. One of the questions that interested these thinkers was the nature of matter. Is matter, they asked, continuous or discontinuous? That is, if you could break apart a piece of chalk as long as you wanted, would you ever reach some ultimate particle beyond which further division was impossible? Or could you keep up that process of division forever? A proponent of the ultimate particle concept was the philosopher Democritus (c. 470–c. 380 B. C. ), who named those particles atomos. In Greek, atomos means \"\"indivisible. \"\" Dalton's theory The debate over ultimate particles was never resolved."

It’s often said that the Kennedy family was subject to a curse due to the tragedies that befell its members. Only a few of these took place before Jackie and JFK were married; three in fact. Kennedy’s sister Rosemary had been considered educationally challenged. She had appeared to be perfectly normal but it was when she was in young adulthood that her mood swings were particularly troublesome. Her father arranged for her to have a lobotomy. It wasn't a success and she was totally dependent on the care of others for the rest of her life. Joe Junior was JFK’s elder brother and as such, the political hopes of his father rested upon him.

The storyline aired as part of the show's 20th anniversary and would be the catalyst for several major storylines that aired the following year. \"\" The plane crash\"\" also saw the departures of three established characters; David ( Kevin Harrington ), Liljana ( Marcella Russo) and Serena Bishop ( Lara Sacher ).

The scenes featuring the flight were shot inside a real Douglas DC-3 aeroplane in Essendon. Filming in the DC-3 was difficult due to its small size. Special effects were added in post-production to make it look like the aircraft was moving, while strobe lights and smoke were used to create the effect of the explosion. The scenes featuring the aftermath of the crash were filmed over two days in a purpose-built swimming pool at the Global Studios in South Melbourne. A wave machine was used to create the effect of the ocean and pieces of fuselage were also dropped into the pool.

( MPI/Getty Images)In “These Few Precious Days: The Final Year of Jack with Jackie,” author Christopher Andersen draws on a wealth of sources developed over the years writing 15 bestselling memoirs to portray in intimate detail the final epoch of a marriage that fascinated the world. In these excerpts, the author of “Jackie After Jack” and “The Day John Died” (about JFK Jr.) is unsparing about the president’s infidelities and drug use. FOR ALL the soaring triumphs, soul-testing trials, and crushing tragedies that would befall Jack and Jackie during his historic presidency, the most celebrated couple in the world would finally bridge the yawning emotional chasm between them only within the walls of the White House. When Jackie Kennedy first set foot in the White House as America’s first lady, she could not have dreamed that this would be where she and Jack would come closest to fulfilling her dream of a happy marriage. “ I said to myself, ‘It will be such a goldfish bowl. With the Secret Service and everybody here, I’ll never see my husband. It will ruin our marriage. ’”Soon she realized the opposite was true. “ I remember thinking, ‘What was the matter with me?’"

Jackie attended boarding schools and then Vassar. After two years, though, she got tired of schools and spent her junior year studying at the Sorbonne in Paris. When she got back to the US she did not want to go back to Vassar, so she enrolled in George Washington University in Washington, DC, graduating in 1951.

The secret tapes will show that the former first lady felt that her husband’s successor was at the heart of the plot to murder him. She became convinced that the then vice president, along with businessmen in the South, had orchestrated the Dallas shooting, with gunman Lee Harvey Oswald – long claimed to have been a lone assassin – merely part of a much larger conspiracy. Texas-born Mr Johnson, who served as the state’s governor and senator, completed Mr Kennedy’s term and went on to be elected president in his own right. The tapes were recorded with leading historian Arthur Schlesinger Jnr within months of the assassination on November 22, 1963, and had been sealed in a vault at the Kennedy Library in Boston. The then Mrs Kennedy, who went on to marry Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis, had ordered that they should not be released until 50 years after her death, with some reports suggesting she feared that her revelations might make her family targets for revenge.

Here are their stories — the tragic and the successful, from the ebook The Kennedy Baby: The Loss That Transformed JFK by the Washington Post’s Steven Levingston. Jackie became pregnant for the first time in 1955 but after three months “suffered a miscarriage and learned that carrying and delivering a child would always be difficult for her,” recalled JFK’s friend and adviser Ken O’Donnell. On the morning of August 23, 1956, a month before another baby was due, Jackie awoke and cried out for her mother - she was hemorrhaging. She gave birth to a stillborn infant, while JFK was on a yacht with friends of both sexes cruising the Mediterranean. Racing back to his wife did not seem to occur to the Massachusetts senator until wiser friends suggested that public shame over his absence threatened to tarnish him forever in the eyes of women voters. His friend George Smathers put it bluntly to him: “You better haul your ass back to your wife if you ever want to run for president. ”In November of the following year, 1957, Jackie gave birth to a healthy little girl, Caroline, who bewitched her father and opened channels to his heart that had never flowed. Caroline started JFK on a path toward maturity as a man, father and husband. There would be backsliding, of course; but it is not a stretch to say that a novel sense of responsibility to wife and child was profoundly stirred within him."

Even in the pantheon of sexual narcissists drawn to politics, Kennedy’s obsessive conquesting remains the gold standard for bad behavior.

JFK, 20 years her junior, made what she referred to as “a clumsy pass” at her in a bedroom near the West Sitting Room. Her performance was in a half-hour. “ That doesn’t give us much time, does it?” Kennedy replied. She later told friend Gore Vidal that her initial reaction of, “You know, Mr. President, I am not very young” eventually became, “Don’t muss my hair. I’m performing.” It was over in 20 minutes, and when JFK started to fall asleep, Dietrich shook him awake because she didn’t know how to get out of the White House."

[ 6]Contents [ hide ]1 The suit as fashion1.1 Authenticity2 Assassination3 Aftermath4 Historical significance5 Cultural references6 References The suit as fashion [ edit]In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the Chanel suit was one of the strongest symbols of bourgeois female chic that could be found anywhere in the Western world, evoking a powerful image of a sophisticated, intelligent and independent modern woman. [ 7] During this era it became the \"\"wardrobe staple of the upwardly mobile American female which could fit almost every daytime occasion that required a woman to dress stylishly.\"\" [ 7] Although women wearing pink in the 21st century is common, pink was new to fashion in the 1950s and was a color loved and even popularized to an extent in American fashion by Mamie Eisenhower, who endorsed a color which, according to cultural historian Karal Ann Marling, was called \"\"Mamie Pink.\"\" [ 7] Given that the Chanel suit was a strong statement of an independent woman, the color pink has an element of traditional femininity, perhaps evading the foreign and feminist attributes associated with the Chanel suit in a conservative American society. [ 7]Before John F. Kennedy departed for Dallas he asked his wife what she planned to wear."

"text": "\"The Indian Removal Act of 1830\"\"Removal\"\" of the Native people east of the Mississippi to lands in the west as a policy of the United States originated with Thomas Jefferson, who was elected President in 1801. Jefferson made a deal with the state of Georgia in 1802, promising to secure the title to all Cherokee land within the state in exchange for Georgia giving up it's claim on territory that later became the states of Mississippi and Alabama. In 1803, the Louisiana Purchase transferred title of a vast area west of the Mississippi River from France to the United States, giving Jefferson the means to not only honor the deal with Georgia, but also to solve the \"\"Indian problem\"\" in the eastern U. S. His plan was to acculturate the Indians, manipulate them into incurring trade debts, and then pressure them into paying off those debts by exchanging their land for parcels of the newly acquired U. S. land in the west. Indian nations that refused to be assimilated would be removed by force. Many Indian nations did make land cessions in following years. By 1819 Cherokee territory had been reduced to the point that they felt they could cede no more. The Cherokee National Council passed a law that required Council approval of any future land transfers, and the penalty for violating the law was death. In 1828, pressure for Indian removal to the west greatly increased after the Cherokee adopted a constitution and a republican form of government modeled on that of the United States and began publishing a bi-lingual newspaper, the Cherokee Phoenix. This enraged many citizens of Georgia, and when the discovery of gold on Cherokee territory began to be public knowledge, Georgia's desire for the land reached a fever pitch. In November 1828 Andrew Jackson, who was known to favor Indian removal, was elected President."

During the early 1800s, the United States wanted lands that Native American groups inhabited east of the Mississippi River. The young nation needed land for continued expansion. Occupying the region along with Native Americans was not a real consideration, since white settlers believed in private land ownership that contrasted starkly with the Native American concept of communal property. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was the Congressional solution to the dilemma. This law relocated Native American tribes to locations west of the Mississippi and provided the president with the authority to negotiate treaties to implement removal. Andrew Jackson After Congress passed the Indian Removal Act, President Andrew Jackson signed it into law on May 28, 1830. The president had a history of aggression with Native Americans.

Although it only gave the right to negotiate for their withdrawal from areas to the east of the Mississippi river and that relocation was supposed to be voluntary, all of the pressure was there to make this all but inevitable. All the tribal leaders agreed after Jackson’s landslide election victory in 1832. It is generally acknowledged that this act spelled the end of Indian Rights to live in those states under their own traditional laws. They were forced to assimilate and concede to US law or leave their homelands. The Indian Nations themselves were force to move and ended up in Oklahoma. The five major tribes affected were the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole. These were called The Civilised Tribes that had already taken on a degree of integration into a more modern westernised culture, such as developing written language and learning to read and write. It overturned the more concessionary attitude of ex-President George Washington that aimed for ‘acculturation’ after debate with the Indian Nations.

The Native Americans were the first people on the land that is now known as the United States of America. As the colonials came over from England, they took over the land of the natives and would kill and rap them. All of those actions would lead to the Trail Of Tears. There are many things that can be looked at in what the Indians had to go through. All of these aspects affect the Natives in good and bad ways and would lead to the Native civil rights movement. One of the movements was that they were not going to let anybody take their land because they wanted to keep it. The reason why they wanted to keep their land was because they believed that we were given the land, and it was the source of all life. Their culture believes that they can hold land in exclusion of another's use, and that you may do anything you want with the land. Their culture also believes that they can use only as much land as you can use, and certain things done to the land harms everyone as a death penalty offense."

"text": "\"4 terms mix_1199Trail of Tears : (info on the Trail of Tears Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Sort Introduction At the beginning of the 1830s, nearly 125,000 Native Americans lived on millions of acres of land in Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina and Florida--land their ancestors had occupied and cultivated for generations. By the end of the decade, very few natives remained anywhere in the southeastern United States. Working on behalf of white settlers who wanted to grow cotton on the Indians' land, the federal government forced them to leave their homelands and walk thousands of miles to a specially designated \"\"Indian territory\"\" across the Mississippi River. This difficult and sometimes deadly journey is known as the Trail of Tears. The \"\"Indian Problem\"\" White Americans, particularly those who lived on the western frontier, often feared and resented the Native Americans they encountered: To them, American Indians seemed to be an unfamiliar, alien people who occupied land that white settlers wanted (and believed they deserved). Some officials in the early years of the American republic, such as President George Washington, believed that the best way to solve this \"\"Indian problem\"\" was simply to \"\"civilize\"\" the Native Americans. The goal of this civilization campaign was to make Native Americans as much like white Americans as possible by encouraging them convert to Christianity, learn to speak and read English, and adopt European-style economic practices such as the individual ownership of land and other property (including, in some instances in the South, African slaves). In the southeastern United States, many Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole, Creek and Cherokee people embraced these customs and became known as the \"\"Five Civilized Tribes.\"\" But their land, located in parts of Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Florida and Tennessee, was valuable, and it grew to be more coveted as white settlers flooded the region. Many of these whites yearned to make their fortunes by growing cotton, and they did not care how \"\"civilized\"\" their native neighbors were: They wanted that land and they would do almost anything to get it."

Indian removal took place in the Northern states as well. In Illinois and Wisconsin, for example, the bloody Black Hawk War in 1832 opened to white settlement millions of acres of land that had belonged to the Sauk, Fox and other native nations. But their land, located in parts of Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Florida and Tennessee, was valuable, and it grew to be more coveted as white settlers flooded the region. Many of these whites yearned to make their fortunes by growing cotton, and they did not care how “civilized” their native neighbors were: They wanted that land and they would do almost anything to get it.

"text": "\"As white settlers poured across the mountains, the Cherokee tried once again to compensate themselves with territory taken by war with a neighboring tribe. This time their intended victim was the Chickasaw, but this was a mistake. Anyone who tried to take something from the Chickasaw regretted it, if he survived. After eleven years of sporadic warfare ended with a major defeat at Chickasaw Oldfields (1769), the Cherokee gave up and began to explore the possibility of new alliances to resist the whites. Both the Cherokee and Creek attended the 1770 and 1771 meetings with the Ohio tribes at Sciota but did not participate in Lord Dunnmore's War (1773-74) because the disputed territory was not theirs. On the eve of the American Revolution, the British government scrambled to appease the colonists and negotiate treaties with the Cherokee ceding land already taken from them by white settlers. To this end, all means, including outright bribery and extortion, were employed: Lochaber Treaty (1770); and the Augusta Treaty (1773) ceding 2 million acres in Georgia to pay for debts to white traders. For the same reasons as the Iroquois cession of Ohio in 1768, the Cherokee tried to protect their homeland from white settlement by selling land they did not really control. In the Watonga Treaty (1774) and the Overhill Cherokee Treaty (Sycamore Shoals) (1775), they sold all of eastern and central Kentucky to the Transylvania Land Company (Henderson Purchase). Despite the fact that these agreements were a clear violation of existing British law, they were used later to justify the American takeover of the region."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Cherokee trail of tears)navigation search Detail of an 1827 map depicting a substantial part of southeastern Tennessee and northwestern Georgia as a confined territory assigned to the Lower Creek and Cherokee nations. Cherokee removal, part of the Trail of Tears, refers to the forced relocation between 1836 and 1839 of the Cherokee Nation from their lands in Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Alabama to the Indian Territory (present day Oklahoma) in the then Western United States, and the resultant deaths along the way and at the end of the movement of an estimated 4000 Cherokee. The Cherokee have come to call the event Nu na da ul tsun yi (the place where they cried); another term is Tlo va sa (our removal)--both phrases not used at the time, and seems to be of Choctaw origin. Removal actions (voluntary, reluctantly or forcibly) occurred to other American Indian groups in the American South, North, Midwest, Southwest, and the Plains regions. The Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and ( Muskogee) were removed reluctantly. The Seminole in Florida responded to removal by the United States Army for decades (1817–1850) with guerrilla warfare, part of the intermittent Native American Wars that lasted from 1540 to 1924. Some Seminole remained in their Florida home country, while others were transported to Indian Territory in shackles. The phrase \"\"Trail of Tears\"\" is used to refer to similar events endured by other Indian groups, especially among the \"\" Five Civilized Tribes \"\". The phrase originated as a description of the voluntary removal of the Choctaw Nation in 1831.

By 1837, many of the banks Jackson had put money in during the bank fight had failed. This helped cause the Panic of 1837. During this time, many banks closed and people lost their savings. As a result the country sank into a depression (series of economic failures) In the 1840 election, Van Buren lost to the Whig candidate William Henry Harrison (9th President) What was the Panic of 1837?

For a thousand years before Europeans came to North America, the Cherokees occupied a large area where the states of Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia now come together. They inhabited over 50 towns. Cherokee women tended crops while the men hunted and made war. Each town had a council, usually made up of a religious leader and elders. The council discussed important matters such as going to war against an enemy tribe. The council members and people of the town debated an issue until they agreed on what to do. Traditionally, no tribal government or chief held authority over all the Cherokees. But in 1721, South Carolina colonists succeeded in persuading the Cherokees to choose a principal chief for the entire tribe to negotiate selling some of its hunting grounds. After the French and Indian War, the British tried to ban any further white settlement on Native American lands west of the Appalachian Mountains."

In 1940, Van Allen accepted employment with the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism at the Carnegie Institute in Washington, where he studied photodisintegration. With the approach of World War II, he was assigned to develope photoelectric and radio proximity fuses for bombs, rockets, and gun-fired projectiles. In April 1942, James Van Allen began working at the Applied Physics Laboratory at Johns Hopkins University, helping to develop a rugged vacuum tube. He also assisted in the invention of proximity fuses for weapons, especially for anti-aircraft projectiles used by the U. S. Navy. By the fall of 1942, he had been commissioned as an officer in the Navy and was sent to the Pacific Theater to field test and complete operational requirements for the proximity fuses."

Walter Dandy, a neurosurgeon, first performed ventriculography and pneumoencephalagraphy (PEG) in 1918 and 1919. Moniz, a neurologist, accomplished the first cerebral arteriogram in 1927.

The Earth has two such belts and sometimes others may be temporarily created. The discovery of the belts is credited to James Van Allen, and as a result the Earth's belts are known as the Van Allen belts. Earth's two main belts extend from an altitude of about 500 to 58,000 kilometers [1] above the surface in which region radiation levels vary. Most of the particles that form the belts are thought to come from solar wind and other particles by cosmic rays.

The belts are located in the inner region of the Earth's magnetosphere. The belts trap energetic electrons and protons. Other nuclei, such as alpha particles, are less prevalent.

The role he played in Lincoln’s life over two and a half decades was more substantial and would prove much more important. Calhoun, for example, shows up in Douglas’s life a few years later when he pushes the Little Giant to run for Congress. “The ambitions of Stephen A.

George Washington 1789-1797Besides being credited as the \"\"inventor\"\" of our nation, George Washington played a roll in establishing the U. S. patent system. But why was he interested in inventing at all? Washington ran into a man named James Rumsey at an inn where both were staying. Rumsey showed Washington a model of his invention: a mechanical boat that could propel itself upstream by grappling on the bottom. Washington must have liked what he saw, because he wrote a letter of recommendation for Rumsey. Rumsey used Washington's certificate to obtain patents and support for his inventions from various state legislatures. But Rumsey's predicament required so much labor that it sparked Washington's interest in supporting inventors. In order to eliminate the need for inventors like Rumsey having to go from state to state to get patent protection for their idea, Washington pushed for the development of a constitution that could help establish a unified patent system for inventors."

It remains an epic tale of our ancestors and their sacrifice and struggle to establish an existence in wild, untamed and often inhospitable places. From virgin old growth hardwoods, these strong and principled people carved humbled farms, busy villages and vibrant towns. Today, we call that place Hillsdale County, Michigan. Although filled with glacial debris from the last ice age, this south-central Michigan county retained prime soil for growing crops, an all important consideration for early 19th century peoples dependent upon an agriculturally-based society. For three-fourths of the year during the spring, summer and autumn, southern Michigan is lush green peppered with colors of striking contrast. Some long-time residents have called Hillsdale County \"\"the cradle,\"\" meaning it's a place they seldom want to be far from for any length of time.

The first eyed needles appeared in the 15th century. Birth of Mechanical Sewing The first possible patent connected to mechanical sewing was a 1755 British patent issued to German, Charles Weisenthal. Weisenthal was issued a patent for a needle that was designed for a machine, however, the patent did not describe the rest of the machine if one existed. Several Inventors Attempt to Improve Sewing The English inventor and cabinet maker, Thomas Saint was issued the first patent for a complete machine for sewing in 1790. It is not known if Saint actually built a working prototype of his invention. The patent describes an awl that punched a hole in leather and passed a needle through the hole. A later reproduction of Saint's invention based on his patent drawings did not work."

The Cavs are winning without Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. Whatever it takes, right? But that kind of \"\"efficiency-be-damned\"\" thinking also seems dangerously reductive.

Published3 years agoon September 21, 2015By Joel Brigham Error: network This week has been a big one in terms of shoe deals for NBA players, with Stephen Curry agreeing to the most lucrative shoe deal in Under Armour history and James Harden making waves by wearing a pair of Jordans mere weeks after agreeing to a $200 million deal to endorse adidas sneakers. Neither of those players are the highest-paid shoe endorsers currently in the business, however, as there are others making more on shoe deals than either Curry or Harden. But before we get into the list of the largest shoe deals, it must be stated that a lot of these contracts are heavily based on incentives such as player accomplishments and sales. Rarely does a player actually receive the full reported amount in a shoe deal, as that money isn’t fully guaranteed. Here’s a look at the biggest annual endorsement contracts currently in the league:#10 – Blake Griffin, $6 million/year, Jordan Brand – Few NBA stars are more marketable than Griffin, so $6 million for a player that likeable and that talented in a market as big as Los Angeles is an absolute steal for Jordan Brand. Jordan Brand has put Griffin front and center, marketing him heavily in commercials (like the recent Marvin the Martian spot) and even a television show (BGCP3TV in HD) with teammate and fellow Jordan Brand endorser Chris Paul.#9 – Damian Lillard, $10 million/year, adidas – Lillard only recently debuted his first signature shoe, and while it’s a good one, it is easy to look at a $100 million investment in a player like Lillard as a bit of a risk. With La Marcus Aldridge gone, the Blazers won’t be quite as exciting a team, but that doesn’t mean Lillard won’t be thrilling as the head honcho in a market that absolutely adores its basketball team. Still, it’s the biggest paycheck on this list for a player with the fewest actual accomplishments so far."

[ 2] Earthquake prediction is sometimes distinguished from earthquake forecasting, which can be defined as the probabilistic assessment of general earthquake hazard, including the frequency and magnitude of damaging earthquakes in a given area over years or decades. [ 3] Prediction can be further distinguished from earthquake warning systems, which upon detection of an earthquake, provide a real-time warning of seconds to neighboring regions that might be affected. In the 1970s, scientists were optimistic that a practical method for predicting earthquakes would soon be found, but by the 1990s continuing failure led many to question whether it was even possible.

For example, the most famous claim of a successful prediction is that alleged for the 1975 Haicheng earthquake. [ 5] A later study said that there was no valid short-term prediction.

What Did Sir James Dewar Invent? Full Answer The Newcomen steam engine, invented in 1712, was in wide use in mines as a water-pumping mechanism by the time James Watt encountered it in 1763. He noticed that the machine wasted much of the energy it generated, and he eventually devised a separate condensation chamber for the steam, greatly improving efficiency. This improved efficiency enabled areas without huge fuel deposits to take advantage of industrial power, which allowed the Industrial Revolution to spread throughout England. Watt continued to improve his machine, allowing it to perform rotary motion, which was well suited to factory mechanization."

And these factories themselves were powered by the steam engine. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that steam engines ushered in the modern age. But where did the steam engine come from? Who was the inventor of this \"\"mover of mountains? \"\" The steam engine was not so much invented as developed. To give credit to any one person would be to steal credit away from its many rightful owners. The steam engine was developed over a period of about a hundred years by three British inventors. The first crude steam powered machine was built by Thomas Savery, of England, in 1698. Savery built his machine to help pump water out of coal mines."

We do not know exactly who made that discovery, but we do know that the ancient Greeks had crude steam engines. Watt, however, is credited with inventing the first practical engine. And so the history of the \"\"modern\"\" steam engine often begins with him. James Watt We can imagine a young Watt sitting by the fireplace in his mother's cottage and intently watching the steam rising from the boiling tea kettle, the beginning of a lifelong fascination with steam. In 1763, when he was twenty-eight and working as a mathematical-instrument maker at the University of Glasgow, a model of Thomas Newcomen's steam pumping engine was brought into his shop for repairs. Watt had always been interested in mechanical and scientific instruments, particularly those which dealt with steam. The Newcomen engine must have thrilled him. Watt set up the model and watched it in operation. He noted how the alternate heating and cooling of its cylinder wasted power."

He was taught at home by his mother at first, then was sent to M'Adam's school in Greenock. He later went to Greenock grammar school where he learned Latin and some Greek but was considered to be slow. However, on being introduced to mathematics, he showed both interest and ability.\"\" ( 1)At the age of nineteen he was sent to Glasgow to learn the trade of a mathematical-instrument maker. After spending a year in London, Watt returned to Scotland in 1757 where he established his own instrument-making business.

"text": "James Watt (1736-1819)Discoveries James Watt is chiefly known for inventing different types of steam engine that helped start the Industrial Revolution. To describe the efficiency of his engines, he coined the term 'horsepower' and devised a rev counter. Watt's inventions were not confined to engines. Examples of some of his other inventions are: Flexible water main Letter-copying press – an early kind of photocopier Machine for copying sculpture'Micrometer' for measuring distances Perspective drawing machine Steam engines – Separate-condenser engine Watt's interest in steam engines was stimulated in 1763 when he was asked to repair a working model of a Newcomen engine used for demonstrations in Glasgow University. Newcomen engines had been around since the early 18th century, and were widely used to pump water from mines. They had a coal-fired boiler, with a cylinder on top of it containing a piston. When the boiler was heated, steam entered the cylinder forcing the piston upwards. Cold water sprayed into the cylinder then caused the steam to condense to water, forming a vacuum in the cylinder. The pressure of atmospheric air pushed the piston down again. Because the cylinder constantly needed to be reheated, it used up a lot of coal."

The spread-out, shared farms, common under the \"\"open-field system\"\" of cultivation, turned into more compact, but larger, farms. The many problems associated with open fields; the overgrazing of animals, difficulty in reaching consensus for change, and single herds that had led to a spread of animal diseases and uncontrollable breeding breeding; had all become generally solved ( Gernhard ). Farmers had discovered a crop rotation system that allowed them to forgo leaving up to half the land unused or fallow between each planting. Animal husbandry was becoming widely used. This was just the beginning of the change, and many important players were able to create other innovations for the farm that would change the ways farms would work: The Seed Drill - Source Jethro Tull (1674 - 1741)Jethro Tull was a key player in introducing and popularizing root vegetables. His major contributions to the Agricultural Revolution, however, were his two inventions: the seed drill and horse hoe ( Gernhard ). The seed drill was an innovation that allowed seeds to be easily planted deep into the earth instead of on top where the majority were washed away or otherwise lost. The machine was pulled by horses and consisted of rotating drills or runners that would plant seeds at a set depth ( Seed Drill ). His other invention, the horse hoe, was another revolutionary device which allowed for much more efficient planting by allowing a horse to pull a plow quickly."

At the start of the 18th century, in the poor Scottish seaport town of Greenock, the grandfather of James Watt sets up a school of mathematics. His son becomes a prosperous shipbuilder and provider of shipping products. His unique selling point is his ‘skill in the making of the most delicate instruments’. It attracts much business: And the hand in marriage of Agnes Muirhead, a gentle lady descended from a long line of noble Scots. ‘FORTUNE AT HIS FINGER ENDS’ When James Watt is born on 18 January 1736, his future life seems rosy and to begin with, it is.

"text": "Ken Helmick, Metal Model Maker (1995-present)Answered Mar 7, 2018 · Author has 345 answers and 160.4k answer views This gets to be something of a technical and philosophical conundrum. Today, a steam engine is normally understood to operate according to the Rankine Cycle. ( William John Macquorn Rankine, 5 July 1820 – 24 December 1872). As an almost shameful over-simplification, the Rankine Cycle engine employs fluid which is pumped into a heat exchanger under pressure, vaporized and the vapor is then expanded in an engine or turbine to produce power. The inventors listed in the question, however, did not employ steam pressure to run their machines. Instead, steam was placed under a very slight pressure, introduced into a chamber and condensed. Condensation produced a vacuum which, in turn, caused atmospheric pressure to move the piston and produce power. In one sense, these are steam engines in that steam is used to create mechanical energy. In the other sense, they are atmospheric engines because the steam is an agent to produce a pressure difference for the atmosphere to work against ... the steam itself doesn't generate any work. The Hero reaction turbine uses pressure to function, so in that sense is closer to our definition."

In 1698, he patented the first crude steam engine based on Denis Papin's Digester or pressure cooker of 1679. Savery had been working on solving the problem of pumping water out of coal mines when he came up with an idea for an engine powered by steam. His machine consisted of a closed vessel filled with water in which steam under pressure was introduced. This forced the water upwards and out of the mine shaft. A cold water sprinkler was then used to condense the steam. This created a vacuum which sucked more water out of the mine shaft through a bottom valve. Thomas Savery later worked with Thomas Newcomen on the atmospheric steam engine. Among Savery's other inventions was an odometer for ships, a device that measured distance traveled.

Unlike other revolutions it did not involve war, but it did involve change. The industrial revolution marks the greatest period of change in history. Further it set the stage for even more change as it facilitated entry into the technological age. In most ways the industrial revolution has made modern daily life possible. The changes brought about by the industrial revolution eased the burden of work, relieved human suffering, and made life easier for everyone eventually. As with any other period in history, during the industrial revolution both wonderful and terrible things happened.

Greenock was then a little Scotch fishing village that became a busy town with a fleet of steamships during Watt's lifetime. His grandfather, Thomas Watt, was a well-known mathematician and local schoolmaster. His father was a prominent citizen of Greenock and was at various times chief magistrate and treasurer of the town. His Mechanical Mind James Watt was intelligent, however, because of poor health, he was unable to attend school regularly. His early education was given by his parents. Tools from his father's carpenter bench provided Watt's with manual dexterity and familiarity with their use gave the boy an early education in the basics of engineering and tooling. Arago, the eminent French philosopher, who wrote one of the earliest and most interesting biographies of James Watt, relates anecdotes about the mechanical bent of the boy's mind. At the age of six years, James Watt occupied himself during by solving geometrical problems, and by experimenting with his mother's tea kettle, his earliest investigation into the nature of steam."

This article was initially written by Robert Woods, ASME Fellow. This article contains material published in Mechanical Engineering Magazine Dec. 2003. Copyright 2003 American Society of Mechanical Engineers It frequently happens that the individual getting the credit for an invention is not the real innovator, but rather the person who was most successful in reducing an idea to practice. Thus, we never hear about the designers of sailing ships who had made an extensive study of aerodynamics before the Wright brothers, or the number of engineers who had speculated on jet propulsion before Whittle. This is true of steam power. The conventional wisdom is that James Watt invented the steam engine. The contribution of Thomas Newcomen, who died a few years before Watt was born, is usually overlooked. The extent to which Watt's reputation has eclipsed Newcomen's can be judged by comparing their entries in the Britannica. The encyclopedia gives Watt nearly two pages, while Newcomen rates only a brief paragraph."

It is becoming commonplace on Remembrance or Veterans' Day, 11 thof November, for peace activists (and others with political or ideological agenda) to write to newspapers demanding that Americans, British and Australians also remember the civilian victims of alleged British and American \"\"atrocities\"\" in WW II. In the case of the British, reference is usually made to the bombing of German cities, and in particular, Dresden. Adolf Hitler's sustained terror bombing campaign against the civilian populations of London and other British cities appears to be conveniently ignored. In the case of Americans, reference is usually made to the atomic bombing of Japan in August 1945, and it is sometimes suggested that Japan was selected as a target for the atomic bomb only because the Japanese are Asian. In other words, it is suggested that Western racism was involved. As the Pacific War Historical Society is concerned primarily with events of the Pacific War 1941-45, comments on this issue will be restricted to some of the considerations that actually exercised the minds of those who decided that the atomic bomb should be used against Japan. On 6 August 1945, an atomic bomb was exploded over Hiroshima, and the characteristic mushroom-shaped cloud can be seen in this photograph rising over the devastated Japanese city. At this time, Hiroshima was the headquarters of Japan's 2nd General Army. Do young people need to be told why America used the atomic bomb on Japan?"

Originally designed as a battlecruiser, she was converted into one of the Navy's first aircraft carriers during construction to comply with the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922. The ship entered service in 1928 and was assigned to the Pacific Fleet for her entire career. Saratoga and her sister ship, Lexington, were used to develop and refine carrier tactics in a series of annual exercises before World War II. On more than one occasion these included successful surprise attacks on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. She was one of three prewar US fleet aircraft carriers, along with Enterprise and Ranger, to serve throughout World War II. Shortly after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Saratoga was the centerpiece of the unsuccessful American effort to relieve Wake Island and was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine a few weeks later. After lengthy repairs, the ship supported forces participating in the Guadalcanal Campaign and her aircraft sank the light carrier Ryūjō during the Battle of the Eastern Solomons in August 1942. She was again torpedoed the following month and returned to the Solomon Islands area after repairs were completed."

S. flag atop Mount Suribachi, [1] during the Battle of Iwo Jima, in World War II. The photograph was first published in Sunday newspapers on February 25, 1945. It was extremely popular and was reprinted in thousands of publications. Later, it became the only photograph to win the Pulitzer Prize for Photography in the same year as its publication, and came to be regarded in the United States as one of the most significant and recognizable images of the war. Three Marines in the photograph, Sergeant Michael Strank, Corporal Harlon Block (misidentified as Sergeant Hank Hansen until January 1947), and Private First Class Franklin Sousley were killed in action over the next few days. The other three surviving flag-raisers in the photograph were Corporals (then Private First Class) Rene Gagnon, Ira Hayes, and Harold Schultz (misidentified as Ph M2c. John Bradley until June 2016). [ 2] Both men originally misidentified as flag raisers had helped raise a smaller flag about 90 minutes earlier, and were both still on the mountaintop and witnessed – but were not part of – the specific moment of raising the larger flag that was captured in the Pulitzer Prize -winning photo. All men were under the command of Brigadier General Harry B. Liversedge. The image was later used by Felix de Weldon to sculpt the Marine Corps War Memorial, which was dedicated in 1954 to all Marines who died for their country and is located in Arlington Ridge Park, [3] near the Ord-Weitzel Gate to Arlington National Cemetery and the Netherlands Carillon."

One of 15 Silverplate B-29s used by the 509th, Bockscar was built at the Glenn L. Martin Aircraft Plant at Bellevue, Nebraska, at what is now Offutt Air Force Base, and delivered to the United States Army Air Forces on 19 March 1945. It was assigned to the 393d Bombardment Squadron, 509th Composite Group to Wendover Army Air Field, Utah in April. Bockscar was used in 13 training and practice missions from Tinian, and three combat missions in which it dropped pumpkin bombs on industrial targets in Japan. On 9 August 1945, Bockscar, piloted by the 393d Bombardment Squadron's commander, Major Charles W. Sweeney, dropped a Fat Man nuclear bomb with a blast yield equivalent to 21 kilotons of TNT over the city of Nagasaki. About 44% of the city was destroyed; 35,000 people were killed and 60,000 injured. After the war, Bockscar returned to the United States in November 1945. In September 1946 it was given to the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The aircraft was flown to the Museum on 26 September 1961, and its original markings were restored ( noseart was added after the mission).

"text": "\"Flag Should you have dropped the atomic bomb? Edit Answer by Charles Haacker Confidence votes 1.5KShould The Atomic Bomb Have Been Dropped This is one of the most complex questions of all time. There is no easy, pat answer to such a highly charged, emotional issue. This is a question that calls for an opinion: in my opinion, the simple answer is yes, The Bomb had to be used. Yet the pros and cons may be strongly argued on both sides. Even Albert Einstein, whose theoretical physics helped create The Bomb and who initially advocated building it because he feared the Nazis were building one, later changed his mind and argued strenuously against its use on humanitarian grounds. One of the main arguments against the use of the nuclear weapon is that because of the sheer power of a single bomb, it is more cruel and unusual than conventional bombs. Also, conventional bombs do not kill their victims weeks, months or even years later due to radiation. Certainly the sheer horror of the use of The Bomb as we saw the evidence in Hiroshima and Nagasaki have helped prevent its use again — so far (that's what the \"\"Cold War\"\" was all about). The U. S. has the dubious distinction of being the only nation in the world ever to have dropped a nuclear weapon in anger, while Japan remains the only nation in the world ever to have undergone a nuclear attack."

As you may notice, the link I have provided includes the Mediterranean and African theaters of war. Fighting in Europe was short and sweet. From Italy to Germany, operations were completed in less than two years. But fighting in the Pacific started in 1942 with the Marines on Guadalcanal (this is of course if you don't count Pearl Harbor). The war in the Pacific was bloody and desperate, characterized by close combat, often hand to hand and melee fighting. To give you an example, more than a thousand marines died in the fighting for the Tarawa atoll. This might not seem significant until you realize that the fighting was for an island less than one square mile in area and it lasted for just 76 hours. An American soldier fighting in the Pacific remarked,\"\"You can surround a 100,000 Germans and they will surrender, but surround one Japanese, and he will keep fighting.\"\" Casualty figures in the Pacific, though lower than those in Europe and other theaters are very significant because the battles there were painstaking in terms of time, men and material."

[ 9] Formerly known as Edo, it has been the de facto seat of government since 1603 when Shōgun Tokugawa Ieyasu made the city his headquarters. It officially became the capital after Emperor Meiji moved his seat to the city from the old capital of Kyoto in 1868; at that time Edo was renamed Tokyo. Tokyo Metropolis was formed in 1943 from the merger of the former Tokyo Prefecture ( 東京府 Tōkyō-fu) and the city of Tokyo ( 東京市 Tōkyō-shi). Tokyo is often referred to as a city, but is officially known and governed as a \"\"metropolitan prefecture\"\", which differs from and combines elements of a city and a prefecture, a characteristic unique to Tokyo."

"text": "\"If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. That's what defending champion Jason Dufner did during his third round at the 2013 Zurich Classic of New Orleans on Saturday. Dufner shot a 5-under-par 67 after switching to a shorter version of the putter Adam Scott used to win the 2013 Masters. Dufner is now 8-under 208 for three rounds. Dufner said he wasn't sure of the putter's name, only that Scott used it. He was spotted practicing with it earlier in the week. Scott has been using a Kombi-S long putter by Scotty Cameron that is 49 inches long. Scott's putter has been controversial in golf circles, with speculation that anchoring of the putter to the upper body gives an advantage. A possible ban by golf's two governing bodies - the USGA and the Royal and Ancient - has been proposed. \"\" I changed up yesterday,\"\" Dufner said. \"\""

"text": "Reloading: A Cost/Benefit Analysis – Part Twoby Jim Barrett |Jul 14, 2012 |67 commentsfacebook twitter linkedin email In part one of this post, I presented an overview of why you might want to reload as well as a cost estimate for a reloading setup. As I noted earlier, a large factor in determining whether or not to reload is the caliber you’ll need. Let’s take a look at a couple of examples and you’ll see what I mean . . . For the first scenario, let’s look at a .308 rifle round and compare a couple of scenarios. In the first, we’ll compare factory loaded match grade ammunition to the cost of hand loading some ammo using match grade bullets. In the second, we’ll do the same comparison between the cheapest .308 milsurp ammo I can find and hand loading the least expensive bullets available. Looking at the match grade round, we’ll select the Remington Premier Match ammunition that shoots a 168 grain Sierra Match King bullet – the gold standard of match grade ammo. A box of this currently runs about $35 for 20 rounds from Midway USA. This works out to a cost of $1.75 per round. If I decide to purchase the all of the components (including new brass) and make a comparable round myself, things look like this: A bag of 50 pieces of Federal Premium .308 brass costs about $25 or .50 per round."

Ferguson saved his best from his back, sinking in a triangle choke and forcing Kevin Lee to tap out in the third round to become the interim lightweight champion in the main event Saturday at UFC 216 at T-Mobile Arena. “This is exactly what I wanted it to be,” said Ferguson (24-3), who lives in Orange County. “ I wanted him to come at me, use all that aggression and leave no energy for that submission. ”Ferguson, 33, has now won 10 in a row and appears destined with an even bigger fight."

The main newspaper of South Hampton Roads, The Virginian-Pilot, ran a contest to determine the team name. Although the chosen name was \"\"Mariners\"\", the Pilot ′s editor overruled the contest, deciding he liked the alliteration of \"\"Tidewater Tides. \"\" The Tides spent their first year as an \"\"independent\"\" team with no direct major-league affiliation, but became a St. Louis Cardinals affiliate the following season. However, the South Atlantic League decided to pull out of Virginia in 1963, threatening the future of minor-league baseball in the Hampton Roads area. A local group was able to convince the Carolina League to expand by two teams, one of them being the Tides."

The Western Conference champion Dallas Mavericks defeated the Eastern Conference champion Miami Heat 4 games to 2 to win their first NBA championship. Dallas became the last NBA team from Texas to win its first title, after the Houston Rockets won back-to-back titles in 1994 and 1995, and the San Antonio Spurs won four NBA championships in 1999, 2003, 2005 and 2007, and a fifth one subsequently in 2014; all three Texas NBA teams have now won at least one NBA championship. It was also the first time in four years that the Los Angeles Lakers did not make the Finals, having been swept in the Western Conference semifinals by the eventual champion Dallas Mavericks. The series was held from May 31 to June 12, 2011—the first to start before June 1 since the 1986 NBA Finals. Under the 2–3–2 rotation, the Miami Heat had home-court advantage; the Heat hosted Games 1, 2, and 6, and was set to host a deciding Game 7, had one been necessary. German player Dirk Nowitzki was named the Finals MVP. Nowitzki was the second European to win the award after Tony Parker (2007); he is the first German to win the award. [ 2]Going into the series, the Heat were heavy favorites [3] [4] with their newly acquired superstars Le Bron James and Chris Bosh along with returning superstar Dwyane Wade. The series was a rematch of the 2006 NBA Finals, which was won by the Heat in six games after Dallas blew a 2–0 series lead. ["

The next season they moved from the Western Conference to the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference. After a mainly mediocre performance in the first few seasons, there were extensive team changes in 1995 and 1996 under head coach Pat Riley, including the recruitment of Isaac Austin and P. J. Brown. They reached the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in 1996–97.

Who is the worst? We examined the last five drafts to see what teams get it and which don’t. Instead of the knee-jerk grades handed out immediately after the draft, we looked at how these picks actually panned out. The criteria was based on: How many games the picks played, Pro Bowl appearances, first-team All-Pro selections and awards won. We also factored in how much the team has won during this period, since players tend to play quicker for worse teams. Here are the rankings from the best to the worst: Modal Trigger Richard Sherman, fifth round, 2011AP1. Seahawks GM: John Schneider Average position of 1st pick: 30.6 Total picks: 48 Pro Bowlers: 7 Best Pick: CB Richard Sherman — 2011 5th round Worst Pick: G John Moffitt — 2011 3rd round Seattle is the gold standard for drafting in the NFL right now. The 2010 draft netted Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, Russell Okung and Golden Tate, laying the foundation for their 2013 Super Bowl team."

The contest was inaugurated by the American Basketball Association (ABA) at its All-Star Game in 1976 in Denver, the same year the slam dunk was legalized in the NCAA. As a result of the ABA–NBA merger later that year there would not be another slam dunk contest at the professional level until 1984. The contest has adopted several formats over the years, including, until 2014, the use of fan voting, via text-messaging, to determine the winner of the final round. The very first slam dunk contest was won by Larry Nance Sr. of the Suns at the 1984 NBA All-Star Game. The current champion of the NBA Dunk Contest is Donovan Mitchell of the Utah Jazz."

The Kings compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the Western Conference's Pacific Division. The Kings are the only team in the major professional North American sports leagues located in Sacramento. The team plays its home games at the Golden 1 Center. The Kings are one of the oldest continuously operating professional basketball franchises in the nation. They originated in Rochester, New York, as the Rochester Seagrams (a semi-professional team) in 1923 and joined the National Basketball League in 1945 as the Rochester Royals. [ 1] They jumped to the Basketball Association of America, forerunner of the NBA, in 1948. As the Royals, the team was often successful on the court, winning the NBA championship in 1951. It, however, found it increasingly difficult to turn a profit in the comparatively small market of Rochester and relocated to Cincinnati in 1957, becoming the Cincinnati Royals. In 1972 the team relocated to Kansas City, Missouri, and was renamed the Kansas City-Omaha Kings because it initially split its home games between Kansas City and Omaha, Nebraska."

"text": "Harry How/Getty Images There will be no runaway U. S. Open champion this year. A year ago, Martin Kaymer led the event wire-to-wire on the way to an eight-stroke victory. He carried a five-stroke lead into the final round and was only a collapse away from taking the trophy. This year, the final round will open with four players tied for the lead and it wouldn't be a surprise to see the tournament come down to the 72nd hole. At times, Jordan Spieth and Dustin Johnson have looked like they might start to separate from the rest of the field. But, as soon as either recorded a birdie or two, they ran into trouble. Spieth dipped to 7-under early in the round on Saturday, only to find himself 3-under a handful of holes later. Chambers Bay might let up a birdie or two, but it can also send players tumbling the wrong way on the leaderboard and do it quickly. Johnson and Spieth will open the final round at 4-under, tied for the 54-hole lead with Branden Grace and Jason Day. Day turned in the second-best round on Saturday, shooting a 2-under 68."

"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!"

"text": "Desiderius Erasmus, (born October 27, 1469, Rotterdam, Holland [now in the Netherlands]—died July 12, 1536, Basel, Switzerland), Dutch humanist who was the greatest scholar of the northern Renaissance, the first editor of the New Testament, and also an important figure in patristics and classical literature. Using the philological methods pioneered by Italian humanists, Erasmus helped lay the groundwork for the historical-critical study of the past, especially in his studies of the Greek New Testament and the Church Fathers. His educational writings contributed to the replacement of the older scholastic curriculum by the new humanist emphasis on the classics. By criticizing ecclesiastical abuses, while pointing to a better age in the distant past, he encouraged the growing urge for reform, which found expression both in the Protestant Reformation and in the Catholic Counter-Reformation. Finally, his independent stance in an age of fierce confessional controversy—rejecting both Luther’s doctrine of predestination and the powers that were claimed for the papacy—made him a target of suspicion for loyal partisans on both sides and a beacon for those who valued liberty more than orthodoxy. Early life and career Erasmus was the second illegitimate son of Roger Gerard, a priest, and Margaret, a physician’s daughter. He advanced as far as the third-highest class at the chapter school of St. Lebuin’s in Deventer. One of his teachers, Jan Synthen, was a humanist, as was the headmaster, Alexander Hegius. The schoolboy Erasmus was clever enough to write classical Latin verse that impresses a modern reader as cosmopolitan. After both parents died, the guardians of the two boys sent them to a school in ’s-Hertogenbosch conducted by the Brethren of the Common Life, a lay religious movement that fostered monastic vocations."

These conditions result from powerful internal tensions—for example: 1) between the ego and the id, 2) between the ego and the super ego, and 3) between the love-instinct and the death-instinct. The book deals primarily with the ego and the effects these tensions have on it. The ego—caught between the id and the super-ego—finds itself simultaneously engaged in conflict by repressed thoughts in the id and relegated to an inferior position by the super-ego. And at the same time, the interplay between the love instinct and the death instinct can manifest itself at any level of the psyche. The outline below is an exegesis of Freud's arguments, explaining the formation of the aforementioned tensions and their effects.

But one evening this past January, he graciously mustered the energy to meet me at a strip-mall steakhouse down the road from his home in California’s Santa Maria Valley, because he wanted to make himself clear. “ I’ve been ghettoized,” he said. “ My wings have been clipped. ”Just a decade ago, a National Review editor labeled Horowitz “the Most Valuable Player of the Right.” Now, sequestered on an acre and a half of land with his wife and six dogs—five of them Chihuahuas—the 73-year-old ex-Communist firebrand juggles writing projects while keeping his distance from all manner of political distraction. “ I don’t read any magazines. I hardly even read Front Page,” he told me, though he is listed on the online right-wing journal ’s masthead as editor-in-chief. “ I don’t read the L. A. Times or the New York Times."

"text": "Jean-Paul Sartre First published Thu Apr 22, 2004; substantive revision Mon Dec 5, 2011Sartre (1905–1980) is arguably the best known philosopher of the twentieth century. His indefatigable pursuit of philosophical reflection, literary creativity and, in the second half of his life, active political commitment gained him worldwide renown, if not admiration. He is commonly considered the father of Existentialist philosophy, whose writings set the tone for intellectual life in the decade immediately following the Second World War. Among the many ironies that permeate his life, not the least is the immense popularity of his scandalous public lecture “Existentialism is a Humanism,” delivered to an enthusiastic Parisian crowd October 28, 1945. Though taken as a quasi manifesto for the Existentialist movement, the transcript of this lecture was the only publication that Sartre openly regretted seeing in print. And yet it continues to be the major introduction to his philosophy for the general public. One of the reasons both for its popularity and for his discomfort is the clarity with which it exhibits the major tenets of existentialist thought while revealing Sartre's attempt to broaden its social application in response to his Communist and Catholic critics. In other words, it offers us a glimpse of Sartre's thought “on the wing. ”After surveying the evolution of Sartre's philosophical thinking, I shall address his thought under five categories, namely, ontology, psychology, ethics, political commitment, and the relation between philosophy and the fine arts, especially literature, in his work. I shall conclude with several observations about the continued relevance of his thought in contemporary philosophy both Anglo-American and “Continental."

If you spend your entire life trying to puzzle it out do not say that you’ve wasted your time. I occupy myself with this mystery because I want to be a man. - Fyodor Dostoevsky“Self-Made Man” by Bobbie Carlyle at Quent Cordair Fine Art Columbia Business School recently published my book Business Secrets of the Trappist Monks: One CEO’s Quest for Meaning and Authenticity. This has led to a number of interviews that I’ve generally enjoyed very much. However there is one recurring question I find difficult to answer: “What do you do for personal development?”The reason I find this question so difficult is that it assumes that personal development is something we do in order to get “success.” And by success we usually mean having a successful career. It rarely occurs to anyone in our culture that someone (a Trappist monk for example) might become an artist, entrepreneur, leader, or politician as a means to personal development and not the other way around."

"text": "\"Home About Evangelical What Does Blasphemy Mean in the Bible? October 7, 2014 by Jack Wellman 3 Comments What does the word blasphemy mean? Can Christians commit blasphemy today? What is Blasphemy? A secular dictionary defines blasphemy as a profane or contemptuous utterance, act or writing concerning God and can also be an oral reproach of God, God’s name, or His attributes. It could be the act of insulting God and His name or showing a lack of reverence toward God. It is close to slandering His holy name or spreading malicious lies that harm God’s reputation, so blasphemy in a sense is slandering God. The beast blasphemed God’s name (Rev 13) as Satan does but so too will those who receive the future punishment of God for their wickedness and failure to repent (Rev 16). Old Testament Penalty for Blaspheming God’s Name The Hebrew word for blaspheme is basically “curse” and today, God’s name is blasphemed regularly by those who use God’s name and Jesus’ name carelessly and even include euphemisms as curse words like “Oh my God, Jeez, my God, God dam_ it” and so on. Many people say that they’re not really thinking about it but that is all the more reason to not do it because that is a very serious sin."

Volkov I recently read an old Secular Web article by David E. Cortesi titled \"\" Dostoevsky Didn't Say It \"\" (2000). This essay is now widely cited and referenced across the Internet. When believers attribute to Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov (1880) the phrase \"\"If God does not exist, everything is permitted,\"\" nonbelievers often retort: \"\"Dostoevsky did not say that!\"\" For example, in his Choice in Dying blog Eric Mc Donald cites Cortesi's article as \"\"a correction to this attribution.\"\" On his Religion Exposed! site Broghen Anders writes of the quotation: \"\"Even if that is what the character has been attributed to feel, he never said the quote ( [per] Cortesi).\"\" Finally, in a talk given at the March 21, 2011 \"\"The Lust for Certainty\"\" conference organized by the Sea of Faith Network, Kenan Malik says:\"\"If God does not exist, everything is permitted.\"\" Dostoevsky never actually wrote that line, though so often is it attributed to him that he may as well have. It has become the almost reflexive response of believers when faced with an argument for a godless world. Without religious faith, runs the argument, we cannot anchor our moral truths or truly know right from wrong."

"text": "\"Are Marian Apparitions Comparable to the Resurrection of Jesus? : A Response to Hector Avalos Dr. Hector Avalos recently left a comment on a previous blog post of mine, informing me that he has responded to critiques of an argument of his, namely his argument that arguments for the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus can be used to justify the appearances of Mary at Medjugorje. The blog post in question was a draft of my dissertation on the resurrection of Jesus, where I used some of the main arguments, and also included a critique of Avalos' argument. Dr. Avalos' blog post was actually written in response to somebody else, but it nonetheless did address some of the points raised in my blog post, which is why I assume he let me know of such a response. Let's start with a brief summary of the arguments for the historicity of Jesus, followed by a brief summary of Avalos' original argument, followed by a summary of the critique of Avalos' argument. The argument for the historicity of Jesus' resurrection is fairly simple: a) there are a set of generally agreed upon facts regarding the life and death of Jesus b) the best explanation of these facts is the hypothesis that the God of Israel resurrected Jesus. These facts are: a) Jesus was crucified b) Jesus was buried in a tomb c) the tomb was later found empty d) people later saw visions of the risen Jesus. It is argued that the resurrection hypothesis satisfies the criteria for the best explanation. Those criteria being: a) explanatory scope b) explanatory power c) plausibility d) less ad-hoc e) disconfirmed by fewer existing beliefs. A second argument is that: a) Christianity was massively offensive to 1st century socio-cultural values, and got its followers persecuted b) despite this massive obstacle, Christianity nonetheless spread and thrived c) there therefore had to have been some kind of convincing evidence that Christianity was true to persuade so many people."

One of those has written a comprehensive rebuttal article on the subject: Dostoevsky Did Say It: A Response to David E. Cortesi (2011) by Andrei I. Volkov. ] Possibly the best-known quote from the works of Dostoevsky is this:\"\"If God does not exist, everything is permitted. \"\" You can see it, for example, on the title page of the self-designated \"\" Dostoevsky Resource on the Net \"\" by Christiaan Stange; and again in the Quotes section of Lu's Greco's Dostoevsky page; and yet again (possibly lifted intact from Stange's page) on Luba Petersen's Dostoevsky site. This soundbite sentence has propagated widely into popular religious debate on the internet. Like any good soundbite, it neatly encapsulates the fears and hopes of a diverse audience: the believer's fear of, and the nonbeliever's hope for, a secular moral system. There is only problem with this well-known quote: Dostoevsky never wrote it!I say this with confidence because I have searched the online text of the Constance Garnett translation of The Brothers Karamazov, examining every use of \"\"God\"\" and \"\"exist\"\" and \"\"lawful\"\" (\"\"lawful\"\" is how Garnett translates the word that others translate as \"\"permitted\"\"). The sentence does not appear, nor anything close to it. Nor does it appear in any of the other four Dostoevsky novels whose complete English texts are available online. The fact that a nonexistent text can be widely attributed to a famous author reveals the limitations of precomputer scholarship."

[ 1]In response to these rumors, fearful peasants armed themselves in self-defense and, in some areas, attacked manor houses. The content of the rumors differed from region to region—in some areas it was believed that a foreign force was burning the crops in the fields, while in other areas it was believed that robbers were burning buildings. Fear of the peasant revolt was a determining factor in the decision to abolish feudalism.

The revolt had both economic and political causes, pre-dating the events of the summer of 1789. As Lefebvre commented, \"\"To get the peasant to rise and revolt, there was no need of the Great Fear, as so many historians have suggested: when the panic came he was already up and away.\"\" The rural unrest can be traced back to the spring of 1788, when a drought threatened the prospect of the coming harvest. Harvests had in fact been poor since the massive 1783 Laki volcanic eruption in Iceland."

"text": "\"Existentialism Existentialism is a catch-all term for those philosophers who consider the nature of the human condition as a key philosophical problem and who share the view that this problem is best addressed through ontology. This very broad definition will be clarified by discussing seven key themes that existentialist thinkers address. Those philosophers considered existentialists are mostly from the continent of Europe, and date from the 19 th and 20 th centuries. Outside philosophy, the existentialist movement is probably the most well-known philosophical movement, and at least two of its members are among the most famous philosophical personalities and widely read philosophical authors. It has certainly had considerable influence outside philosophy, for example on psychological theory and on the arts. Within philosophy, though, it is safe to say that this loose movement considered as a whole has not had a great impact, although individuals or ideas counted within it remain important. Moreover, most of the philosophers conventionally grouped under this heading either never used, or actively disavowed, the term 'existentialist'. Even Sartre himself once said: “Existentialism? I don’t know what that is.” So, there is a case to be made that the term – insofar as it leads us to ignore what is distinctive about philosophical positions and to conflate together significantly different ideas – does more harm than good."

He is perhaps best known for his ruminations on power, self identity, epistemology, and the evolution of systems of thought and meaning. Of special significance for Foucault was the way that knowledge and perception functioned in social hierarchies of power. He is often described as post-structuralist or post modernist, but Foucault himself rejected such titles, preferring to analyze their significance rather than identify with them. At the prestigious Collège de France, Foucault held a chair to which he gave the title \"\"The History of Systems of Thought\"\". Paul-Michel Foucault was born in Poitiers, France, on 15 June 1926. Both his grandfathers had been doctors, aa was his father. An eminent local surgeon, Paul Foucault hoped for his son to follow in this tradition. Although apparently psychologically troubled as a young man, Michel Foucault was deemed intellectually brilliant. In 1946 he entered the École Normale Supérieure, the school for the up and coming French philosopher."

"text": "\"Previous (Theobald Wolfe Tone) Next (Theodor Fontane)Theodicy is a specific branch of theology and philosophy, which attempts to solve The Problem of Evil —the problem that arises when trying to reconcile the observed existence of evil in the world with the assumption of the existence of a God who is fully good (or benevolent) and who is also all-powerful (omnipotent). A \"\"theodicy\"\" also refers to any attempted solution to this conundrum. Almost all traditional theodicies have attempted to logically solve the contradiction amongst the three points—the omnipotence of God, the goodness of God, and the real existence of evil—by negating or qualifying one or another of them. Hence, traditional theodicies are of three types: Denying or qualifying the omnipotence of God Denying or qualifying the goodness of God Denying the reality of evil Contents [ hide ]1 Origin of the term2 The problem of evil3 Three major traditional theodicies3.1 Finitism: God is not omnipotent3.2 Despotism: God is not fully good3.3 Evil is not real4 Theodicies on a different horizon4.1 The Book of Job: Evil as a mystery of faith4.2 John Hick: The world as vale of \"\"soul-making\"\"4.3 Alvin Plantinga: The free will defense4.4 Richard Kropf: Evil within an evolutionary natural order4.5 Kenneth Surin: The \"\"practical\"\" approach5 Oppositions to theodicy5.1 Antitheism: God does not exist5.2 Theodicy has a predetermined goal5.3 Theodicy is immoral5.4 Ivan Karamazov: Theodicy is morally difficult5.5 Antitheodicy6 Assessment7 Notes8 References9 External links9.1 General philosophy sources10 Credits In recent years, new theodicies have appeared which take a different approach: Rather than trying to eliminate an uncomfortable contradiction, one can accept the contradiction between the reality of evil and a God who is both omnipotent and good, and view it as pointing to a path toward the actual removal of evil, or as revealing a deeper understanding of the nature of God, or both. For example, one might theorize that God, because of his love, has given humans free will through which they could make wrong choices and create evil, but has also given them, out of his omnipotence, the ability to use their free will to overcome evil, and that this path to grow to maturity through such a life of overcoming evil is the ultimate expression of God's goodness. Origin of the term The term theodicy comes from the Greek θεός ( theós, \"\"god\"\") and δίκη ( díkē, \"\"justice\"\"), meaning literally \"\"the justice of God.\"\" The term was coined in 1710 by the German philosopher Gottfried Leibniz in a work entitled Essais de Théodicée sur la bonté de Dieu, la liberté de l'homme et l'origine du mal (\"\"Essay of theodicy about the benevolence of God, the free will of man and the origin of evil\"\"). The purpose of the essay was to show that the evil in the world does not conflict with the goodness of God, and that notwithstanding its many evils, the world is the best of all possible worlds. The problem of evil The problem of evil for theists consists in the existence of a contradiction amongst the following three statements or claims integral and central to them:1) That God is omnipotent2) That God is fully good (or loving, or beneficent)3) That evil and suffering exist in the world For how can an omnipotent and fully good God create such an evil world? If it can be shown that one or another of those statements is false, however, then the \"\"problem\"\" of contradiction disappears."

I have lots of large gaps in my reading, so if an obvious book is missing from this list it is possible that I just didn’t like it, but probably more likely that I’ve never got around to reading it. The list is chronological, based on the date of the author’s death, so older works come first. Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1616), Don Quixote Thomas Mann: “What a monument is this book! How its creative genius, critical, free, and human, soars above its age!” Fyodor Dostoyevsky: “A more profound and powerful work than this is not to be met with… The final and greatest utterance of the human mind.” The story of the Spanish knight whose devotion to tales of chivalry leads him and his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, into a series of bizarre adventures blends fantasy, comedy, and drama in a way that has gripped the world’s imagination for centuries.

He also previously worked in a computer science position before creating his business (Amazon). While I do not know the exact workings of his business I can imagine his computer science major helped him create the basic virtual infrastructure on which Amazon operated at least in the beginning and his knowledge of industrial engineering may have helped him manage the tasks related to warehouses and shipping. He may not use them in his day to day operations but his background certainly would have helped in the early days of Amazon. For example a common anecdote about his business is that when Amazon started they had a bell go off every time they made a sale but after a while they had to disconnect it because it got so annoying. Bezos is most likely the one who designed that bell system.370 Views"

My initial interest in Bezos stemmed from a personal interest in ecommerce business and start-up business leadership. After much research I have concluded that Jeffrey Bezos’ visionary leadership style consists of three main characteristics. First, is his focus on long-term goal setting and focusing on the horizon, not what is at hands reach. Second, is his relentless pursuit of innovation. Lastly, is the characteristic of being the motivator of a team. All three of these characteristics implemented at the same time have allowed Amazon to take over an entire market as well as constantly being one step ahead of their competition.

Bezos' rise carries important symbolic weight — signaling Amazon's unbridled power and value, presenting a new face of outsized wealth to the world and heralding a new kind of billionaire who is skeptical of philanthropy and has massive reach in culture, technology and media.

"text": "\"Daniel B. Kline ( TMFDankline)Jun 24, 2015 at 7:02AMAlthough Amazon.com ( NASDAQ: AMZN) struggles with profitability, the company has made its founder and CEO very wealthy. A self-made billionaire, Jeff Bezos spent his time on Wall Street, becoming the youngest senior vice president at investment firm D. E. Shaw before leaving in 1994 to found what started as an online bookstore. At the time, the future billionaire's move was seen as risky at best and preposterous at worst. Bezos Source: Amazon.com. In 1994, the Internet wasn't the gold rush it would become a few years later. It was a virtually unknown commodity. Bezos walked away from a lucrative career to found Amazon in the days when \"\"going online\"\" meant dialing up AOL, which was still known as America Online. So leaving Wall Street for an Internet start-up in 1994 was daring, but for Bezos it paid off spectacularly. How did Bezos make his money? Like so many tales of digital wealth, Bezos' starts in his garage -- or at least the garage of the house he moved to in Seattle, where he chose to relocate to pursue his dreams of a digital bookstore."

The direct Amazon-to-buyer sales approach is really no different from what happens at most other large, online retailers except for its range of products.

By Adario Strange Oct 15, 2013A number of little-known facts surrounding Amazon 's rise as an ecommerce powerhouse are explored in a new book called The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon by Businessweek senior writer Brad Stone, released on Tuesday. Among the revelations in the book we find out that the original name for Amazon was not only completely different in tone and theme, but that the name still exists as a redirect to Amazon.com to this day. See also: 10 Ways to Boost Sales on Your Ecommerce Website In chapter two of the book, Stone describes the early formation of the company, during which founder and CEO Bezos and his wife struggled to come up with the right name. Stone writes: Bezos and his wife grew fond of another possibility: Relentless.com. Friends suggested that it sounded a bit sinister. But something about it must have captivated Bezos: he registered the URL in September of 1994, and he kept it. Type Relentless.com into the Web today and it take to you to Amazon. Indeed, if you perform a whois search on the domain name, Amazon Technologies, Inc. is listed the owner of the domain that has been registered since 1994. And as Stone indicates, typing the URL into your browser redirects you to the front page of Amazon.com."

After his appearance in the movie Road House, he was signed to Arista records, and in 1988 released the Grammy-nominated album See the Light, which included a major hit single, Angel Eyes. He earned a Juno Award in 1990 as Entertainer of the Year. Two more albums emerged on Arista, with lessening success as the '90s passed.

Update Cancel Answer Wiki3 Answers Gina Marie Warswick, mother of seven mini schnauzers Answered Oct 3, 2014 · Author has 117 answers and 151.6k answer views See my answer about George not having grandchildren: George Harrison was married twice, first to Patty Boyd who left him to marry George's best friend, Eric Clapton, and next to Olivia Arias who became and still goes by Olivia Harrison. First marriage did not last very long and no children were produced. Olivia was the wife who stuck through it all and was with him unto death. During their 30 years together, they had one son, Dhani. Dhani, born in the late 1970s, professionally followed his father into music eventually, though he did not study music in college. He graduated from Ivy League school Brown University with a degree in physics. One could say Dhani's music education has come from two main sources--his father and his father's good buddy and producer, Jeff Lynn of ELO and Traveling Wilburys fame. Together, Jeff and Dhani made George's final album, Brainwashed, a reality as they pieced it together from the demo tapes left from George's final years. They also have made two comprehensive box sets come to fruition as well, the latest one having just been released last month in September 2014."

He was 41. He died of lung cancer, his publicists said. Mr. Healey, who was blind, played his guitar with the instrument flat on his lap, resulting in what Guitar Player magazine called “astoundingly fluid bends and vibrato.” He blended jazz, rock and the blues. Mr. Healey’s greatest success came in the late 1980s, when his band recorded the album “See the Light.” It reached platinum status in the United States by selling more than one million copies and eventually two million worldwide. A single from that album, “Angel Eyes,” was the Jeff Healey Band’s only Top 40 hit, reaching No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 1989. The same year the band performed the soundtrack for “Road House,” a movie starring actor Patrick Swayze."

Buckingham Palace ( UK: / ˈ b ʌ k ɪ ŋ ə m ˈ p æ l ɪ s / [1] [2]) is the London residence and administrative headquarters of the monarch of the United Kingdom. [ a] [3] Located in the City of Westminster, the palace is often at the centre of state occasions and royal hospitality. It has been a focal point for the British people at times of national rejoicing and mourning. Originally known as Buckingham House, the building at the core of today's palace was a large townhouse built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703 on a site that had been in private ownership for at least 150 years. It was acquired by King George III in 1761 [4] as a private residence for Queen Charlotte and became known as The Queen's House. During the 19th century it was enlarged, principally by architects John Nash and Edward Blore, who constructed three wings around a central courtyard. Buckingham Palace became the London residence of the British monarch on the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837. The last major structural additions were made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the East front, which contains the well-known balcony on which the royal family traditionally congregates to greet crowds."

Events in the Life of Jesusaccording to the Gospels Early life [show]Ministry [show]Passion [show]Resurrection [show]In rest of the NT [show]Portals: Christianity Bible Book: Life of Jesusv t e The arrest of Jesus was a pivotal event in Christianity recorded in the canonical gospels. Jesus, a preacher whom Christians consider to be the Son of God, was arrested by the Temple guards of the Sanhedrin in the Garden of Gethsemane. It occurred shortly after the Last Supper (during which Jesus gave his final sermon ), and immediately after the kiss of Judas, which is traditionally said to have been an act of betrayal since Judas made a deal with the chief priests to arrest Jesus. The event ultimately led, in the Gospel accounts, to Jesus' crucifixion. [ 1]The arrest led immediately to his trial before the Sanhedrin, during which they condemned him to death and handed him to Pilate the following morning. [ 2] In Christian theology, the events from the Last Supper until the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus are referred to as the Passion. In the New Testament, all four Gospels conclude with an extended narrative of Jesus' arrest, trial, crucifixion, burial, and resurrection. In each Gospel, these five events in the life of Jesus are treated with more intense detail than any other portion of that Gospel's narrative. Scholars note that the reader receives an almost hour-by-hour account of what is happening. ["

"text": "Where Did the Word “Mormon” Come From? Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are often called Mormons. This has been bothersome to many members of the Church, because they want to be known as Christians, and that’s what the full name of the Church implies. Why are church members called Mormons? The following will answer this question. Around 600 B. C. many prophets were calling the citizens of Jerusalem to repentance. Among them was Jeremiah, whose record we have in the Bible. But there were others who prophesied of impending destruction at the hands of the Babylonians, if God’s people continued to corrupt true religious practices, break the commandments of God, and trample upon the rights of the poor. Among these prophets was a rather wealthy man named Lehi. Jeremiah had already been arrested (something that would happen several times), and the Lord warned Lehi that his life was in danger and to take his family and flee into the wilderness."

"text": "\"What is a Gentile? Subscribe to our Question of the Week: Question: \"\"What is a Gentile?\"\" Answer: The word Gentile is an English translation of the Hebrew word goyim (“people, nations”) and the Greek word ethne (“nations, people groups, people”). The Latin Vulgate translated these words as gentilis, and this word was then carried over into English as “Gentile.” The term refers to a person who is not a Jew. From the Jewish perspective, Gentiles were often seen as pagans who did not know the true God. During Jesus’ time, many Jews took such pride in their cultural and religious heritage that they considered Gentiles “unclean,” calling them “dogs” and “the uncircumcision.” Gentiles and the half-Gentile Samaritans were viewed as enemies to be shunned (see John 4:9; 18:28; and Acts 10:28 ). In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus alluded to the common association of Gentiles with paganism: “If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?” ("

"text": "\"Why do most Jews reject Jesus as the Messiah? Subscribe to our Question of the Week: Question: \"\"Why do most Jews reject Jesus as the Messiah?\"\" Answer: The Jews rejected Jesus because He failed, in their eyes, to do what they expected their Messiah to do—destroy evil and all their enemies and establish an eternal kingdom with Israel as the preeminent nation in the world. The prophecies in Isaiah 53 and Psalm 22 describe a suffering Messiah who would be persecuted and killed, but the Jews chose to focus instead on those prophecies that discuss His glorious victories, not His crucifixion. The commentaries in the Talmud, written before the onset of Christianity, clearly discuss the Messianic prophecies of Isaiah 53 and Psalm 22 and puzzle over how these would be fulfilled with the glorious setting up of the kingdom of the Messiah. After the church used these prophecies to prove the claims of Christ, the Jews took the position that the prophecies did not refer to the Messiah, but to Israel or some other person. The Jews believed that the Messiah, the prophet which Moses spoke about, would come and deliver them from Roman bondage and set up a kingdom where they would be the rulers. Two of the disciples, James and John, even asked to sit at Jesus’ right and left in His kingdom when He came into His glory. The people of Jerusalem also thought He would deliver them. They shouted praises to God for the mighty works they had seen Jesus do and called out, “Hosanna, save us,” when He rode into Jerusalem on a donkey ( Matthew 21:9 )."

The Last Supper is a description of the last meal Jesus Christ had with His disciples prior to His arrest and crucifixion on a roman cross about 2,000 years ago. The Last Supper contains many significant principles, and continues to be an important part of Christian lives throughout the world. The Last Supper: The Significance The Last Supper is described in three of the four New Testament Gospels, Matthew, Mark and Luke. Here are some of the life-changing highlights, as recorded in the Gospel of Luke. First, Jesus predicts He will suffer soon after this meal and it will be His last meal prior to finishing His work on behalf of the kingdom of God ( Luke 22:15-16 ). Second, Jesus gives His followers symbols of remembrance for His body and His blood sacrificed on behalf of all mankind. \"\" And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them saying, 'This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me '\"\" ( Luke 22:19 ). Third, Jesus provides a very important principle for living a Christian life: the greatest are those who serve others, not those who expect to be served ( Luke 22:26 ). Finally, Jesus provides hope to his followers: \"\" and I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me, so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel \"\" ( Luke 22:29-30 )."

Judas was one of the original 12 disciples. He is called Judas son of Simon and Judas Iscariot. Iscariot means “man from Kerioth.” Kerioth, known both as Kerioth Hezron and Hazor, was a town located in the northern Negev that belonged Judah (Joshua 15:25). Probably, Judas Iscariot was the only non-Galilean apostle. He kept the community money bag for Jesus and his followers. Judas objected to Mary anointing Jesus’ feet with nard. His objection was that the costly perfume was worth a year’s wages. The nard could have been sold and the money given to the poor."

"text": "\"< Return to Famous members of the Church of Christ The Religious Affiliation of Milwaukee Serial Killer Jeffrey Dahmer Jeffrey Dahmer was one of the most infamous and notorious serial killers in American history. Part of the reason he became so well known was the number of victims he killed: at least 17 young men and teenage boys between the years 1978 and 1991. Another reason for Dahmer's infamy was the peculiar nature of his killings. He stored the body parts of many victims in his apartment. He also engaged in cannibalism, although the extent of this is less than was widely believed after this detail was sensationalized in media reports. Dahmer's killing spree was finally discovered and halted in 1991 when one of his intended victims was able to escape and lead police to Dahmer's apartment, where the remains of 11 bodies were found. Dahmer was born into a family of devout members of the Stone-Campbell denomination known as the \"\"church of Christ\"\" or \"\"Churches of Christ.\"\" He was an active churchgoer until the age of 5. After that, Dahmer was never again actively religious or a regular churchgoer until after his arrest and imprisonment. After being imprisoned for his crimes, Dahmer sought out the church of his childhood and petitioned to be re-baptized in the Church of Christ."

John: The Man and His Gospel Introduction In some scholarly circles, this message would not be considered worthy of a hearing. Leon Morris cites A. M. Hunter, who says, “‘For these and other reasons, scarcely a reputable scholar in this country nowadays is prepared to affirm that the Fourth Gospel was written by John the Apostle.’” 1Liberal scholarship has tended to the view that this Gospel was not written by John the Apostle, but by some anonymous second century Christian who “never set eyes on Jesus.” 2 If this were true, of what value could a study of John the Apostle be to the study of this great Gospel? I would like to explain why I believe it is of great value. To begin, I believe the Gospel of John was written by the Apostle John. 3There are a number of reasons we should accept the Johanine authorship of this Gospel. This was the conviction of the second century church fathers, who first addressed this matter. 4 This has always been the view of truly evangelical scholarship."

Pontius Pilate Prefect of Roman Judaea Ecce Homo (\"\"Behold the Man\"\"), Antonio Ciseri 's depiction of Pilate presenting a scourged Jesus to the people of Jerusalem. Born before AD Roman Empire Died c. AD 36–39 [1] Roman Empire Spouse Claudia Procula Occupation Roman governor of Judea Pontius Pilate ( / ˈ p ɒ n ʃ ə s ˈ p aɪ l ə t, - tʃ ə s, - t i ə s /; [2] [3] [4] Latin: Pontius Pīlātus, Greek: Πόντιος Πιλάτος, Pontios Pilatos) was the fifth prefect of the Roman province of Judaea, serving under Emperor Tiberius from AD 26 to 36. [ 1] [5] He is best known today for the trial and crucifixion of Jesus. The sources for Pilate's life are an inscription known as the Pilate Stone, which confirms his historicity and establishes his title as prefect; a brief mention by Tacitus; Philo of Alexandria; Josephus; the four canonical gospels; the Acts of the Apostles; the First Epistle to Timothy; the Gospel of Nicodemus; the Gospel of Marcion; and other apocryphal works. Based on these sources, it appears that Pilate was an equestrian of the Pontii family, and succeeded Valerius Gratus as prefect of Judaea in AD 26. Once in his post he offended the religious sensibilities of his subjects, leading to harsh criticism from Philo, and many decades later, Josephus. According to Josephus, who wrote about it around AD 93, [6] Pilate was deposed and sent to Rome by Lucius Vitellius after harshly suppressing a Samaritan uprising, arriving just after the death of Tiberius which occurred on 16 March in AD 37. Pilate was replaced by Marcellus."

"text": "\"INTRODUCTIONIn the year 1675 in Bedford, England, the famous puritan preacher and writer John Bunyan was arrested for preaching publicly without a license, and he was jailed for six months. Previously, he had spent twelve years in prison, during which time he had written many books and pamphlets. So, rather than seeing this new imprisonment as a great tragedy, he took an optimistic view of it. He is reported to have said, \"\"I have been away from my writing too long. Maybe this is not so much a prison as an office from which I can reach the world with Christ's message. \"\" Whether or not these were Bunyan's precise words, his ministry during this short imprisonment is undeniable. It was during these months that he wrote The Pilgrim's Progress, an allegory of the Christian life that is perhaps the most famous book ever written in the English language. Now, we should all admire someone who accomplishes so much for Christ while in prison. But as significant as John Bunyan's work has proven to be, the apostle Paul's work accomplished something much greater. During his four years of imprisonment in Caesarea and Rome, he wrote epistles that are far more important than even Bunyan's Pilgrims Progress."

But, thanks to congressional drug warriors, the punishments drug offenders face often extend far beyond the prison walls or the parole officer's office. A number of federal laws ostensibly aimed at reducing drug use block people with drug convictions from gaining access to federal benefits and services. These laws have a disproportionate impact on society's most vulnerable or marginalized members -- the poor, people of color, and women with children -- and in some cases, do not even require that a person actually be convicted of a drug offense to be punished. No conviction is needed to be evicted from public housing for drugs -- even someone else's. A growing number of groups and individuals ranging from the American Bar Association to welfare rights organizations, public health and addiction groups, drug reform organizations, and elected officials have called for changes in these laws or their outright repeal, saying they are cruel, inhumane, counterproductive, and amount to \"\"double jeopardy\"\" for drug offenders trying to become productive members of society. \"\" We feel that these laws are discriminatory and tend to focus on an illness as opposed to a crime,\"\" said Alexa Eggleston of the Legal Action Center, one of the key groups in the movement to adjust those laws. \"\" We also think that if you have a conviction, you should be able to serve your time and come out and resume your life. We say we want people to get sober, get treatment, get a job, get housing, but then we set up all these barriers and roadblocks that seem designed to stop them from moving forward. These lifetime bans are very destructive of people's ability to reintegrate into society and move forward with their lives as productive citizens. \"\"\"\""

"text": "\"Where was Jesus Crucified? By Abdullah Smith The Gospels record that Jesus was crucified on the Passover, and supposedly rose from the dead. Yet nobody witnessed the resurrection of Jesus, the stone was moved away, it was not a supernatural rising. Obviously, the stone was removed by one of Jesus’ closest followers (Luke 10:1). The witnesses to Jesus’ crucifixion were mostly his enemies. The disciples Mary Magdalene and Mary watched the crucifixion afar off. And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children. ( Matthew 27:55-56)This passage has led scholars to believe that the crucifixion was a privatized event, only witnessed by a few people. It is also curious that Jesus just happens to have been crucified next to a garden and a tomb, the latter at least owned by Joseph of Arimathea. This is all rather convenient to say the least."

Everything you do after that moment, you do in the strength of that faith. In that moment of trusting Jesus alone, you are justified, you are forgiven, you are totally accepted by God, you are adopted into his eternal family, you are loved, you are secure forever. And all of that by grace alone, through faith alone, on the basis of Christ alone, to the glory of God alone. So that, from that moment on, everything you do you do in this faith. Everything you do from that moment on, you do in the confidence that you are accepted, you are justified, and God is 100% on your side—not in order to be accepted or be justified or to get God to be 100% on your side. That is, from that moment on, you live by faith. Nothing you do from that moment on creates or earns God’s commitment to be 100% for you and never against you. That has been settled by faith alone in Christ alone."

These questions are not new. Sixteen centuries ago St. Augustine addressed the same questions, and he noted that he was not the first theologian to discuss these issues. He wrote: \"\"There are those who say 'What did God have no other way to free men from the misery of this mortality? No other way than to will that the only begotten Son [...] should become man by putting on a human soul and flesh, becoming mortal so He could endure death?\"\" Mel Gibson's film The Passion of the Christ has focused the world's attention so vividly on the sufferings of Christ that the question is being asked again: \"\"If God could have chosen any path for salvation why did He choose one of so much blood, pain, and excruciating death? Does the manner of Jesus' horrifying death call into question the goodness and mercy of God? \"\" This document addresses these two questions which were also addressed by two great Doctors of the Church: St. Augustine of Hippo and St. Thomas Aquinas. These great scholars asked themselves two questions concerning God's plan for man's salvation: Was there another way that Jesus could have accomplished the salvation of man? and If not, why did it have to be the way of suffering and death?"

"text": "\"Where Are Hank Williams' Children Now? ' I Saw The Light' Puts The Singer's Family In The Spotlight By Olivia Truffaut-Wong Mar 24 2016Like most biopics, I Saw The Light, a movie about the tragically short lived life of country music icon Hank Williams (Tom Hiddleston), doesn't sugarcoat any of its protagonist's personal failings. Following in the footsteps of musical biopics Ray and Walk The Line, I Saw The Light depicts Hank Williams' troubled marriage to Audrey Mae Williams (Elizabeth Olsen), which endured multiple affairs, some of which ended up with pregnancy. The film makes note of multiple women Williams loved, impregnated, and then separated from along the way, and in real life, the singer fathered two children: Hank Williams Jr. and Jett Williams, who had to fight to be recognized as Williams' daughter in court after his death in 1953. The musician's family legacy is, no doubt, a complicated one, but where Hank Williams' children are now will bring relief to viewers of the new film. Williams married Audrey in 1944 when he was still struggling to make it as a country performer. Not only did he become a husband, he also became stepfather to Audrey's young daughter from her first marriage, Lycretia. They had their first and only child, Hank Williams, Jr., five years later in 1949. Three years later, in July of 1952, the two divorced. In October of that same year, Williams re-married to a woman named Billie Jean Jones Eshlimar."

Celebrity Baby Scoop checks out which celeb parents encourage their children to enter the world of fame and fortune, which forbid it, and who sits on the fence. Contributed by Celebrity Baby Scoop John Travolta John Travolta has kept us entertained since the '70s in the huge hits Saturday Night Fever and Grease. And not to mention his triumphant career comeback in the '90s cult classic, Pulp Fiction. Prior to the tragic death of his son Jett, John appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show and announced his daughter Ella's debut in the big screen comedy, Old Dogs. \"\" Jett was young when he saw Look Who's Talking, but he didn't like it when I was kissing Kirstie Alley. But Ella took to it right away. That's why last year she said, 'When am I going to do a movie with you?' Little did she know, Dad had a trick up his sleeve."

Release date May 10, 2000 ( Grauman's Chinese Theatre)May 12, 2000 (United States)Running time 117 minutes [1]Country United States Language English Budget $73 million [2]Box office $29.7 million [2]Battlefield Earth (also referred to as Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000) is a 2000 American science fiction action film based upon the first half of L. Ron Hubbard 's 1982 novel of the same name. Directed by Roger Christian and starring John Travolta, Barry Pepper and Forest Whitaker, the film depicts an Earth that has been under the rule of the alien Psychlos for 1,000 years and tells the story of the rebellion that develops when the Psychlos attempt to use the surviving humans as gold miners. [ 3]Travolta, a long-time Scientologist, had sought for many years to make a film of the novel by Hubbard, the founder of Scientology. He was unable to obtain funding from any major studio due to concerns about the film's script, prospects and connections with Scientology. The project was eventually taken on in 1998 by an independent production company, Franchise Pictures, which specialized in rescuing stars' stalled pet projects. Travolta signed on as a co-producer and contributed millions of dollars of his own money to the production, which commenced in 1999 and was largely funded by German film distribution company Intertainment AG. Franchise was later sued by its investors and was bankrupted in 2004 after it emerged that it had fraudulently overstated the film's budget by $31 million. [ 4]Battlefield Earth was released on May 12, 2000, and was an immediate critical and commercial failure, frequently described as one of the worst films of all time. [ 5] [6] [7] [8] Reviewers criticized virtually every aspect of the production including Travolta's acting, overuse of angled shots and slow-motion, poor script, mediocre special effects, several plot holes and narrative inconsistencies, art direction and dialogue. Audiences were reported to have ridiculed early screenings and stayed away from the film after its opening weekend, which led to Battlefield Earth failing to recoup its costs."

Edna was portrayed in the original 1988 movie by the transvestite Divine and in the subsequent Broadway show by Harvey Feirstein. But in this version, which the film's producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron describe as a \"\"re-invention\"\" based on the stage musical, the first choice for the role was always Travolta.

"text": "'Grease' Could Have Starred The Fonz, Carrie Fisher, and Elvis Gwynne Watkins Writer, Yahoo Entertainment January 27, 2016Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta in ‘Grease’ (Image: Paramount)In retrospect, The roles of Danny and Sandy in Grease, that 1978 movie-musical classic, seem tailor-made for John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. The truth is, nothing about Grease was a sure thing — least of all its leading man and lady, one of whom had barely done any acting, the other still considered a B-list TV actor (though Saturday Night Fever, released after Grease was shot, would change that forever). A fascinating Vanity Fair story on the making of Grease reveals some early casting choices, from Carrie Fisher to Elvis Presley, that are bound to make any Pink Ladies or T-Birds fan let out a Travolta-style “wow!”For the role of Danny, the tough-talking greaser played by Travolta, producers first approached Henry Winkler, who was then playing Fonzie on the hit TV comedy Happy Days. Winkler passed, fearing that he’d be typecast as ‘50s bad-boys forever (though as it turned out, he would play The Fonz well into the 1980s). Travolta, whose previous film credit was the TV movie The Boy in the Plastic Bubble, was cast because one of the producers had a three-picture deal with him. In terms of casting the wide-eyed transfer student Sandy, director Randal Kleiser first looked at early Star Wars footage to see if Carrie Fisher might be a fit, but said he couldn’t get a good read on her acting ability, and wasn’t sure that she could sing. ( Her performance of the “Life Day Song” in the Star Wars Holiday Special was still far, far away.) After considering a few other actresses, including Partridge Family star Susan Dey, he offered the role to Marie Osmond… who dropped out when she realized that Sandy’s big arc was a transformation from goody-two-shoes to naughty rebel. Eccentric producer Allan Carr pushed for Newton-John, and it was Travolta who ultimately got her on board. “ I didn’t think there could be any more correct person for Sandy in the universe,” Travolta told Vanity Fair, comparing her casting to “putting Taylor Swift in that role today."

"text": "\"Tweet JFK and the Economy Meeting with Advisory Committe on Labor President Kennedy campaigned on a platform of economic growth. At heart he was a fiscal conservative. Thus, he initially resisted efforts by his advisors to impose a tax cut to stimulate the economy, for fear of the effect on a balanced budget. He finally agreed to a tax cut to help stimulate economic growth. His most famous economic action, however, was his use of the power of presidential persuasion to convince the steel manufacturers to roll back a steel price rise. When President Kennedy took office, his highest domestic priority was to address the economy. Unfortunately, Kennedy's ability to take effective action to stimulate the economy was severely constrained. He felt the time was not right for a tax cut. He could not call for greater sacrifices from the people on one hand, and allow a tax cut on the other. Kennedy was unable to garner support for greater deficit spending, nor was he able to convince the head of the Federal Reserve to decrease interest rates."

Kennedy. [ 1] [2] Mortal Error was published by St Martin's Press in hardback, paperback, and audiobook.

Donahue first became interested in the story of the assassination of John F. Kennedy after participating in a re-creation of the shooting as one of eleven invited marksmen and sharpshooters. [ 2] He demonstrated that it would have been possible for Lee Harvey Oswald to have fired three shots in the time specified by the Warren Commission, and was the only one of the eleven to better the 5.6-second window. However the experience highlighted to Donahue other concerns regarding the Warren report, and in particular the fact that the testimony of ballistics experts seemed to have been completely omitted from the Commission's evidence gathering. [ 4]Conducting his own investigation, Donahue eventually decided that the bullet that struck Kennedy in the head had in fact been fired by United States Secret Service Special Agent George Warren Hickey Jr. (March 24, 1923 to February 25, 2005) from an AR-15 rifle carried in the car immediately following the President's vehicle. The series of events is as follows: After the first shot which hit the street was fired, Hickey turns completely around and acquires Oswald on the sixth floor of the school book depository building. His turned head is documented in an AP photograph by James Altgens."

The medallion number, which is located on the hood, license plate and top of the taxicab as well as on the partition and your receipt, is the four-letter/number combination unique to that cab. It is comprised of a number, followed by a letter, followed by two numbers. If you lost property in a cab or wish to complain about or compliment a driver, the TLC can identify the driver/taxicab from the medallion number. Without this information or the name of the driver and the license number, it is difficult to identify the taxicab without the driver first contacting the TLC or the passenger. It is a good idea to always take a receipt when exiting the taxicab. [ Back to Top]• What is the light located on the back of taxicabs called and what is it used for?

( MPI/Getty Images)In “These Few Precious Days: The Final Year of Jack with Jackie,” author Christopher Andersen draws on a wealth of sources developed over the years writing 15 bestselling memoirs to portray in intimate detail the final epoch of a marriage that fascinated the world. In these excerpts, the author of “Jackie After Jack” and “The Day John Died” (about JFK Jr.) is unsparing about the president’s infidelities and drug use. FOR ALL the soaring triumphs, soul-testing trials, and crushing tragedies that would befall Jack and Jackie during his historic presidency, the most celebrated couple in the world would finally bridge the yawning emotional chasm between them only within the walls of the White House. When Jackie Kennedy first set foot in the White House as America’s first lady, she could not have dreamed that this would be where she and Jack would come closest to fulfilling her dream of a happy marriage. “ I said to myself, ‘It will be such a goldfish bowl. With the Secret Service and everybody here, I’ll never see my husband. It will ruin our marriage. ’”Soon she realized the opposite was true. “ I remember thinking, ‘What was the matter with me?’"

Scearce November 27th, 2007The Most Valuable Film in History No single piece of evidence concerning the Kennedy assassination has remotely approached the Zapruder film’s value. Though badly shaken by what he had recorded, Abraham Zapruder regained enough composure to sell his film three days after the assassination for $150,000—equivalent to nearly $1,000,000 today. The value of Zapruder’s film, great as it was in 1963, only increased with time. When the National Archives purchased it in 1998, a panel of arbitrators valued the Zapruder film at $16,000,000. It can hardly be said that the 26-second film has been undervalued commercially. Yet despite obsessive frame-by-frame analysis of the Zapruder film by investigators both professional and amateur over the past 44 years, the Zapruder film’s full forensic value has remained “hidden in plain view”. Demonstrating what everyone has overlooked in the Zapruder film is the first aim of this article. Exploring why this happened and what lessons can be drawn therefrom is the second. After 44 Years, A Breakthrough A newly published theory about the Kennedy assassination demands that we re-examine the Zapruder film, more closely than ever before. In a New York Times article published on November 22, 2007, JFK assassination researchers Max Holland and Johann Rush set forth a novel explanation for when Oswald fired his 1st shot and why it missed."

He didn't have many successes as president, but that's partly because he only spent two years as president due to his death. The good things he did were solve the Cuban missile crisis, pushed for a nuclear test ban treaty, and started the space race. Some of the bad things include the Bay of Pigs Invasion, the building of the Berlin Wall, getting the USA involved in the Vietnam War, and he didn't do much for the African American Civil Rights Movement when racial segregation was prevalent.

Kennedy. It was snapped in July 1963 in the Rose Garden, soon after Kennedy addressed a group of Boys Nation delegates. Ever since, and most notably during his 1992 presidential campaign, Clinton has recalled the moment. For him, it was more than a brief encounter; it was an experience, and one so powerful that Clinton once said it caused him to have “arthritis of the face. ”Clinton’s deeply felt connection to Kennedy is hardly unique. Memories of Kennedy’s presidency, from his inaugural address to the horror of Dallas, live on in the American imagination. But they linger particularly with Democrats, and for the past 50 years, generations of them have venerated JFK as their party’s tragic hero. Democrats may have long ago abandoned the Kennedy program, but JFK’s flame flickers elusively in their hearts.#ad#That’s the crux of political scientist Larry Sabato’s new book, The Kennedy Half-Century, a well-reported and lively analysis not only of JFK’s presidency and assassination, but also of his complicated political legacy. By walking us through Kennedy’s evolution in the Democratic firmament, Sabato illuminates how Democrats have been both buoyed and wearied by JFK’s shadow."

I know that many of us would take the car, but when you’re going by yourself, it can be a real pain to do all of that driving, especially when you’re tired from just coming back from an adventure filled trip. I did some research, and I decided that I would take the recommendation that I was given by a few fellow travelers. I planned on taking the Amtrak train to Penn Station.

Vince Melamed/Michael Ochs Archives/Getty By Jerry Hopkins July 26, 1969Northridge, Calif. – Once again violence has severely mauled the face of rock, with several hundred persons injured in rioting outside Newport '69, what probably was, in attendance, the world's largest pop festival. Because of this violence, and perhaps as much as $50,000 in damage done to neighborhood homes and businesses, the Los Angeles police commission has launched a full investigation. It could result in new city policies on the granting of concert permits and certainly means there will never be another rock festival held here. Over 150,000 attended the three-day series of concerts – featuring Jimi Hendrix, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Johnny Winter and the Rascals among the 33 acts – and for most of those visiting this suburban Los Angeles community, the only bummer was the festival itself. They were not aware of the bloody violence erupting outside the gates. For them there was only the last logjam of humanity that made the festival like attending a high school reunion in a closet. The producers of Newport '69 – no relation to the folk or jazz festivals in Rhode Island – spent $11,000 on hurricane fencing and it was this fence that hundreds of youngsters stormed, rather than pay the $7 admission cost. Gatecrashers the first two days caused only minor incidents, but early Sunday afternoon all hell broke loose. As was true in another southern California festival, in Palm Springs Easter week, a small minority of youngsters can be blamed for initiating the trouble, and police can be faulted for reacting too brutally."

"text": "\"Save Audio samplefilehelp\"\" All Along the Watchtower \"\" is a song written and recorded by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. The song initially appeared on his 1967 album John Wesley Harding, and it has been included on most of Dylan's subsequent greatest hits compilations. Since the late 1970s, he has performed it in concert more than any of his other songs. Different versions appear on four of Dylan's live albums. [ 1]Covered by numerous artists in various genres, \"\"All Along the Watchtower\"\" is strongly identified with the interpretation Jimi Hendrix recorded for Electric Ladyland with the Jimi Hendrix Experience. [ 2] The Hendrix version, released six months after Dylan's original recording, became a Top 20 single in 1968 and was ranked 47th in Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Bob Dylan's original Background Following a motorcycle accident in July 1966, Dylan spent the next 18 months recuperating at his home in Woodstock and writing songs. [ 3] According to Clinton Heylin, all the songs for John Wesley Harding were written and recorded during a six-week period at the end of 1967. [ 4] With one child born in early 1966 and another in mid-1967, Dylan had settled into family life. Recording Dylan recorded \"\"All Along the Watchtower\"\" on November 6, 1967, at Columbia Studio A in Nashville, Tennessee, the same studio where he had completed Blonde on Blonde in the spring of the previous year.

Hendrix’s innovative style of combining fuzz, feedback and controlled distortion created a new musical form. Because he was unable to read or write music, it is nothing short of remarkable that Jimi Hendrix’s meteoric rise in music took place in just four short years. His musical language continues to influence a host of modern musicians, from George Clinton to Miles Davis, and Steve Vai to Jonny Lang. Jimi Hendrix, born Johnny Allen Hendrix at 10:15 a.m. on November 27, 1942, at Seattle’s King County Hospital, was later renamed James Marshall by his father, James “Al” Hendrix. Young Jimmy (as he was referred to at the time) took an interest in music, drawing influence from virtually every major artist at the time, including B. B. King, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Buddy Holly, and Robert Johnson. Entirely self-taught, Jimmy’s inability to read music made him concentrate even harder on the music he heard. Al took notice of Jimmy’s interest in the guitar, recalling, “I used to have Jimmy clean up the bedroom all the time while I was gone, and when I would come home I would find a lot of broom straws around the foot of the bed. I’d say to him, ‘Well didn’t you sweep up the floor?’ and he’d say, ‘Oh yeah,’ he did."

"text": "\"Artists Zakk Wylde Wylde's Kingdom By Lisa Sharken Share on Facebook Tweet on Twitter As a teenager, Zakk Wylde gained notoriety as one of the hottest young guitarists playing the New Jersey Shore bar circuit. He got his big break in ’87, when he was asked to audition for Ozzy Osbourne. In addition to his technical ability as a player, Wylde’s energy, image, and his love for Black Sabbath and Ozzy music made him a natural for the gig. During his 10 years with Osbourne, Wylde honed his chops and songwriting skills. He co-wrote and recorded No Rest For The Wicked (’88), Just Say Ozzy (’90), No More Tears (’91), Live And Loud (’93), and Ozzmosis (’97), all of which achieved multi-platinum success. And Live And Loud won a Grammy for Best Live Performance. Stepping away from the metal scene, Wylde broke out on his own to front Pride & Glory, a blues-influenced power trio. Next, he released Book Of Shadows (’96), an acoustic album that showcased his songwriting. Sonic Brew, his latest offering, marks a return to his heavier rock roots, but still incorporates the familiar elements of his blues and acoustic influence. His new band is called Black Label Society."

They were: Are You Experienced (1967) Axis: Bold As Love (1967) Electric Ladyland (1968) and Band Of Gypsys (1970) As he was highly prolific in his lifetime there is an unbelievable wealth of other official and bootleg recording released posthumously. At the time of his death he was working on a new album which he intended to call The New Rising Sun. What was completed during those sessions was released in various forms over the years before being officially collected together as The First Rays Of The New Rising Sun in 1997.

"text": "Hendrix at 70By The GP Staff May 16, 2012He changed everything. What don’t we owe Jimi Hendrix for his monumental rebooting of guitar - culture “standards” of tone, technique, gear, signal processing, rhythm playing, soloing, stage presence, chord voicings, charisma, fashion, and composition? His stoned-cool blend of psychedelic experimentalism and pop smarts also taught ambitious instrumentalists how to stay true to the guitar while simultaneously scoring hits. He is Guitar Hero Number One. As a result , so much as been written about the man, and so much has been hypothesized about what he would have done had he not passed away at 27 years old on September 18, 1970. So, as 2012 is the year that marks Jimi’s 70th birthday (he was born on November 27, 1942), the GP staff decided to celebrate his life by adding to all the discussion about his impact on guitarcraft. We sent requests far and wide for remembrances and commentary from noted player s, gear makers, and audio professionals, and the responses were pretty overwhelming. ( Unfortunate omissions included producer Eddie Kramer and guitar legend Buddy Guy—schedules didn’t always line up with our deadlines—but we hope to include them, and others, in an ongoing discussion as the year unfolds.) As much as we already know about Hendrix—it ’s our job, after all—we were jazzed to discover new insights from some of the contributors to this article . We hope you’ll be similarly engaged and delighted."

"text": "Noel Redding: His Letter About the Jimi Hendrix Experience11 Replies Be Sociable, Share!Tweet From 1966 through 1969, Noel Redding played bass in the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Twenty years later, he wrote me this long, bittersweet account about his time with the band and what happened to him afterwards. The back story: Soon after Jimi Hendrix arrived in London in 1966, Noel Redding became the first recruit for his as-yet-unnamed band. Until then, Noel had been a lead guitarist; he’d just auditioned for the Animals. Jimi’s benefactor in England, Chas Chandler, was the bassist in the Animals. Redding agreed to give bass a try, and on September 29, 1966, after jamming on “Hey Joe” and “Have Mercy on Me Baby,” Jimi offered Noel the gig as bassist in his band. Chandler tutored Noel on his new instrument, and on occasion Jimi showed him parts he wanted to hear. When Mitch Mitchell came in on drums, the Jimi Hendrix Experience was complete. ( For more about this period: Jimi Hendrix in London, 1966 . ) Noel Redding played bass on the Experience’s first three studio albums – Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold as Love, and Electric Ladyland – and composed and sang the songs “Little Miss Strange” and “She’s So Fine.”"

One thing to keep in mind though is that Jimi died before led Zeppelin 3 came out, and even led Zeppelin II came out at a time when Jimi was moving away from heavy pop/rock/blues and moving into a more jazz-oriented style. Electric Ladyland came out before Led Zeppelin I, and even by then Jimi had a more experimental style with less emphasis on distortion and heavy blues.

Read Full Biography Overview Biography Discography Songs Credits Awards Related Share this pagefacebook twitter google+Artist Biography by Richie Unterberger In his brief four-year reign as a superstar, Jimi Hendrix expanded the vocabulary of the electric rock guitar more than anyone before or since. Hendrix was a master at coaxing all manner of unforeseen sonics from his instrument, often with innovative amplification experiments that produced astral-quality feedback and roaring distortion. His frequent hurricane blasts of noise and dazzling showmanship -- he could and would play behind his back and with his teeth and set his guitar on fire -- has sometimes obscured his considerable gifts as a songwriter, singer, and master of a gamut of blues, R&B, and rock styles. When Hendrix became an international superstar in 1967, it seemed as if he'd dropped out of a Martian spaceship, but in fact he'd served his apprenticeship the long, mundane way in numerous R&B acts on the chitlin circuit. During the early and mid-'60s, he worked with such R&B/soul greats as Little Richard, the Isley Brothers, and King Curtis as a backup guitarist. Occasionally, he recorded as a sessionman ( the Isley Brothers ' 1964 single \"\"Testify\"\" is the only one of these early tracks that offers even a glimpse of his future genius). But the stars didn't appreciate his show-stealing showmanship, and Hendrix was straitjacketed by sideman roles that didn't allow him to develop as a soloist. The logical step was for Hendrix to go out on his own, which he did in New York in the mid-'60s, playing with various musicians in local clubs, and joining white blues-rock singer John Hammond, Jr. 's band for a while. It was in a New York club that Hendrix was spotted by Animals bassist Chas Chandler."

Chemistry homework ;)Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Cathode Rays! Also known as electrons. I don't think so · 1 decade ago0 1 Comment Joseph john thomson used the cathod ray tube to discover the electron in 1896. He showed that the cathode rays were particles with negative charge and much smaller than the atom. The kind of cathod ray tube used by JJ Thomson was a sealed glass container in which two electrodes are separated by a vaccum. When a voltage is applied across the electrodes,cathod rays are generated, creating a glowing patch where they strike the glass at the opposite end of the tube. Through experiment,Thomson discovered that the rays could be deflected by an electric field in addition to magnetic fields which was already known. He concluded that these rays,rather than being waves were composed of negatively charged particles called \"\"electrons\"\" This is the best i could say,goodluck!Emperor · 1 decade ago1 0 Commentelectron-credited to Thomsonallyson · 2 years ago0 0 Commentthere's electron...but isn't there supposed to be another one? i can't remember if it's neutron or proton...

Note that the first clues that the electron existed were first noticed by German physicist Johann Wilhelm Hittorf in 1869 when he discovered that the glow emitted from the cathode that increased in size with decrease in gas pressure. Hittorf was studding the electrical conductivity in rarefied gases. The particle first named \"\"corpuscles\"\" by Thomson, it was later renamed \"\"Electron\"\" by a proposal of Irish physicist George F. Fitzgerald that has gained universal acceptance. Protons are subatomic particles that, with neutrons and electrons, are the principal constituents of atoms. Protons are positively charged particles that reside in the nucleus of an atom. These protons add the overall positive charge of a molecule. The mass of the proton is about 1,840 times the mass of the electron."

"text": "What Are Subatomic Particles? Subatomic particles are the most elementary particles found in nature. The three basic subatomic particles that comprise an atom are protons, electrons, and neutrons. The historical definition of a subatomic particle was expanded over the past several decades to include elementary particles that are less complex than an atom and cannot be broken down further. The modern definition of subatomic particles breaks all of them down into either leptons or quarks. Subatomic Particles that Make up an Atom Electron The electron was the first subatomic particle discovered in 1896. U. K. Physicist JJ Thomson made the discovery while he was conducting an experiment with cathode rays. After determining the electron’s mass and charge, it was determined that they make up 0.06% of an atom’s mass. The electron’s mass is considered negligible and the elementary charge (negative) and angular momentum are constant. The electron has a magnetic field while in motion and absorbs and radiates energy in the form of a photon."

Thomson, 1856-1940; see photo at the Science Museum, London) is widely recognized as the discoverer of the electron. Thomson was the Cavendish professor of Experimental Physics at Cambridge University and director of its Cavendish Laboratory from 1884 until 1919. For much of his career, Thomson worked on various aspects of the conduction of electricity through gases. In 1897 he reported that \"\"cathode rays\"\" were actually negatively charged particles in motion; he argued that the charged particles weighed much less than the lightest atom and were in fact constituents of atoms [Thomson 1897a, 1897b ]. In 1899, he measured the charge of the particles, and speculated on how they were assembled into atoms [ Thomson 1899 ]. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 1906 for this work, and in 1908 he was knighted. His Nobel lecture is reproduced below. The case of the electron raises several interesting points about the discovery process. Clearly, the characterization of cathode rays was a process begun long before Thomson's work, and several scientists made important contributions. In what sense, then, can Thomson be said to have discovered the electron?"

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Chemistry Who discovered the electron, proton and neutron? Explain how?1 following 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The electron was identified and assigned the negative charge in 1897 by J. J. Thomson and his team of British physicists. They performed experiments indicating that cathode rays really were unique particles, rather than waves, atoms or molecules as was believed earlier. The proton was discovered by Ernest Rutherford in 1918. Rutherford noticed that when alpha particles were shot into nitrogen gas, his scintillation detectors showed the signatures of hydrogen nuclei. Rutherford determined that the only place this hydrogen could have come from was the nitrogen, and therefore nitrogen must contain hydrogen nuclei. In 1932 the physicist James Chadwick in England performed a series of experiments and suggested that in fact the new radiation consisted of uncharged particles and he performed a series of experiments verifying this. These uncharged particles were called neutrons Source (s):http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron#Id...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton#Hist...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron#Dis...

"text": "Posted by Bryan on Feb 14, 2011 in Physical Chemistry | 0 comments Discovery of the electron In 1897 J. J. Thomson discovered the electron while doing experiments at the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University. At that time the fact that Nature was made up of atoms and molecules was not fully accepted. Scientists still believed in the ether, which the Michelson-Morley experiments finally disproved, also in 1887. So J. J. Thomson’s experiment not only confirmed the existence of the most important elementary particle: the electron, he also showed that atoms are not the indestructible building blocks of matter that the Greeks had suggested, but parts of atoms and molecules Although J. J. Thomson did what good scientists do, he characterized the particles in the Cathode ray tube, he could only get the charge to mass ratio, e/m. Was the mass very small or was the charge very big? No one knew. So Thomson first suggested that electrons were uniformly distributed throughout an atom. This Plum Pudding model was incorrect. In a later ingenious experiment, Millikan was able to find the electron charge and from the charge to mass ratio. This meant the mass of the electron was extremely small, 9.11 x 10 -31 kg."

C. However it was John Dalton who proposed the first Atomic Theory in 1811. His theory had four parts. First, all matter is made up of tiny indivisible and indestructible atoms. Second, atoms of the same element are the same. Third, atoms of different elements are different. And finally, atoms combine in whole number ratios to form compounds. Dalton based his theory on the work of Lavoisier (Law of Conservation of Mass) and Proust (Law of Definite Proportions). His theory was supported by Gay-Lussac (Law of Combining Volumes) and Amedeo Avogardo (Avogardo’s Hypothesis)."

"text": "The Electron Discovery Experiment Towards the end of the 19th century Joseph J. Thomson (1856-1940) was studying electric discharges at the well-known Cavendish laboratory in Cambridge, England. Several people had been studying the intriguing effects in electric discharge tubes before him. Spectacular glows could be observed when a high voltage was applied in a gas volume at low pressure. It was known that the discharge and the glow in the gas were due to something coming from the cathode, the negative pole of the applied high voltage. Thomson made a series of experiments to study the properties of the rays coming from the cathode. He observed that the cathode rays were deflected by both electric and magnetic fields - they were obviously electrically charged. By carefully measuring how the cathode rays were deflected by electric and magnetic fields, Thomson was able to determine the ratio between the electric charge (e) and the mass (m) of the rays. Thomson's result wase/m = 1.8 10-11 coulombs/kg. The particle that J. J. Thomson discovered in 1897, the electron, is a constituent of all the matter we are surrounded by. All atoms are made of a nucleus and electrons."

Credit: general-fmv Shutterstock Atoms are the basic units of matter and the defining structure of elements. The term \"\"atom\"\" comes from the Greek word for indivisible, because it was once thought that atoms were the smallest things in the universe and could not be divided. We now know that atoms are made up of three particles: protons, neutrons and electrons — which are composed of even smaller particles such as quarks. Atoms were created after the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago. As the hot, dense new universe cooled, conditions became suitable for quarks and electrons to form. Quarks came together to form protons and neutrons, and these particles combined into nuclei. This all took place within the first few minutes of the universe's existence, according to CERN. Error setting up player: Invalid license key It took 380,000 years for the universe to cool down enough to slow down the electrons so that the nuclei could capture them to form the first atoms."

Chemistry A Closer Look at The Atom Cathode Ray Tube Experiment1 Answer183mrpauller and 1 other Share Sep 21, 2016Answer: Dalton has proposed that atoms were the smallest particles which make up matter. Then Thomson discovered the electron, which was even smaller than an atom!Explanation: Thomson's experiments with cathode ray tubes helped him to discover the electron (which Dalton did not know about). Dalton thought that atoms were indivisible particles, and Thomson's discovery of the electron proved the existence of subatomic particles. This ushered in a model of atomic structure referred to as the plum pudding model. I like to think of it like a sphere shaped chocolate chip cookie since plum pudding is not super popular in the US. The cookie dough (they didn't know what it was yet) is positively charged and the chocolate chips (electrons) are negatively charged and scattered randomly throughout the cookie (atom). The positive and negative charges cancel producing a neutral atom. Later discoveries by Rutherford and others lead to additional revisions to atomic theory. Was this helpful?"

"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": "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."

Atoms have three main important subatomic particles that are proton, neutron & electron. Proton & neutron have a much greater mass than the electron as one proton equals to 1/1840 electrons. Neutrons & protons are tightly bound together to form the nucleus of the atom hence nucleus contains all the mass. Neutron is electrically neutral where protons & electrons carry +ve & -ve charge respectively. Electrons occupy shells around the nucleus whereas protons are there in the nucleus as we know Evolution of atoms: 1. Democritus was the first one to come up with the postulates stating that everything is made of atoms, atoms are indivisible & are solid & small particles & called them atomos, this all happened between 460BC-370BC 2. The Dalton came up with his theory & research stating that atoms cannot be created or destroyed in chemical reactions, all atoms of the same element are perfectly identical & each element has a different atom and a different atomic weight. year 1766-1844 3.

"text": "\"Can We Talk? Did Joan Rivers once give out actress Victoria Principal's home phone number on her talk show?0Claim: Joan Rivers once gave out actress Victoria Principal’s home phone number on her talk show. Status: True. Origins: In1983, caustic comedienne Joan Rivers received a tremendous career boost when the king of late-night television, Johnny Carson, designated her his “permanent” guest host for The Tonight Show, thereby providing her valuable national TV exposure as she filled in during Johnny’s many days off and vacations. Within a few years, however, Carson was left feeling betrayed when Fox announced that not only had they lured Joan Rivers away from The Tonight Show to star in the inaugural series on their new national television network, but that Rivers’ new vehicle would be a competing late-night talk show going head-to-head with Carson’s own program. Launched amid a torrent of publicity in October 1986, The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers proved to be a rather disappointing copy of The Tonight Show with a less engaging host, and once the novelty wore off, viewers turned elsewhere. Rivers left the show seven months later, and the program (renamed The Late Show) carried on with a series of guest hosts, primarily Arsenio Hall. During her brief tenure, though, Rivers managed to create one of the more controversial moments in television history. Dallas star Victoria Principal was one of the comedienne’s favorite targets for needling — “Victoria Principal married a plastic surgeon. Isn’t that convenient … and free,” ran one of her jokes — and Rivers recalled some of her other jabs at the actress shortly after leaving her Fox show: I must say, though, most of the people I interview are a delight."

Photograph: Gerald Herbert/AP10.46pm Obama's second inauguration: more relaxed and pragmatic So there we have it, let's wrap this liveblog up as the march-past continues and the bands play on. It was in many ways a more relaxed ceremony today, less overshadowed by economic gloom and incipient financial disaster than 2009, and with one war in Iraq ended and another, Afghanistan, in its final stretch of US involvement. The burden of history was also lighter, with the epoch-making fact of an African American president now a familiar matter. Obama's inaugural address was less lofty and more pragmatic than his effort four years ago – another symptom of four years in office and the realities of divided government in Washington. Obama made bold statements on climate change – the boldness perhaps being that he said anything at all on the subject, given the difficulty of effecting political change. There was also an historic placing of homosexual rights within the context of the wider civil rights movement, seamlessly weaving them together through a mention of the Stonewall riots of 1969 that triggered the modern movement for gays and lesbians. After so much bitter political fighting over the last two or even four years, a sign that there some small hope for prudential governing rather than battling. How long that mood lasts is the question.10.33pm Quirky historical note from the Associated Press: no Bushes or Clintons this time for the first time in decades: For the first time in more than three decades, there was neither a Clinton nor a Bush on either the departing or the incoming presidential ticket."

Published Jan. 31, 2014, at 10:06 a.m.13 comments Photo: Zbigniew Bzdak/ Chicago Tribune What exactly does Valerie Jarrett—the Chicagoan often described as a big sister or mother figure to the Obamas—do in the White House? The instant histories of the Obama White House tend to portray her as the Obamas’ pit bull, a woman loyal only to the president, first lady and her own image. In a recent book on the 2012 campaign, Jonathan Alter writes that Rahm Emanuel, on agreeing to become Obama’s chief of staff, recognized that Jarrett would wield such outsized power that he tried unsuccessfully to finesse her into Obama’s senate seat. ( Alter also speculates that Valerie Jarrett was one reason why Rahm hightailed it out of DC in late 2010 into the relative ease of the Fifth Floor. ) Others in media and Washington circles portray Jarrett, who held top positions in Chicago government and business, as a brilliant strategist and thinker who practically runs both wings of the White House and who did as much or more than anyone to put the Obamas there. In 1991, Jarrett, then Mayor Rich Daley’s deputy chief of staff, offered Michelle Robinson a job in City Hall. Before Michelle accepted, she insisted that Jarrett meet with Michelle’s fiancé Barack Obama. Jarrett promptly took both under her wing and, over the years, introduced Barack to the inner Daley circle, to wealthy business people, and to the people who mattered in her enclave, Hyde Park—all of which helped Obama as he moved up from community organizer to Springfield to Washington. So which is it?"

Most of her childhood was relatively uneventful, until in 1424, when she began having visions. In her visions, Saint Margaret, Saint Catherine, and Saint Michael told Joan that she needed to support King Charles VII and help rid France of the English. During the many battles of the Hundred Years War that were to come, despite her young age, Joan, a simple peasant girl, was instrumental in capturing Orleans. This accomplishment was immense, but she later went on to capture Rheims, Paris, and numerous other towns in an effort to free France from the English. While the French revered her for her accomplishments, the English declared her a heretic. Joan was captured eventually by the Burgundians, who exchanged Joan to the English for money. Joan was imprisoned for some time prior to her trial. The English tried to question her intensively during her trial, but Joan remained silent throughout. This enraged her captors, and they quickly convicted her."

As we mentioned, Talking Points Memo, Michelle Obama referenced slaves building the White House in referring to the evolution of America in a positive way. It was a positive comment. The history behind her remark is fascinating. George Washington selected the site in 1791, and as president laid the cornerstone in 1792. Washington was then running the country out of Philadelphia. Slaves did participate in the construction of the White House. Records show about 400 payments made to slave masters between 1795 and 1801. In addition, free blacks, whites, and immigrants also worked on the massive building. There were no illegal immigrants at that time."

"text": "\"Michelle Obama is a transgender Posted on March 14, 2014 by Dr. Eowyn | 425 Comments I’ve had this post in draft for MONTHS. I’ve hesitated to publish this because of the gravity of what is being asserted, and the uncertainty of the evidence to support the assertion. The startling assertion is that the current First Lady of the United States of America, known as Michelle Robinson Obama, is a biological male posing as a woman. That anyone would make such an assertion is a mark of how much distrust and suspicion the Obamas have engendered, due entirely to Barack’s secretiveness concerning his Selective Service registration, school records (including even his kindergarten record! ), and medical records; his refusal to explain why his Social Security number has a Connecticut prefix; and his outright deception about his birth certificate, an image of which he made public on April 27, 2011, but which forensic experts have determined to be a fake . It doesn’t help that the Hawaiian official, Loretta Fuddy, who had signed off on Obama’s purported birth certificate was the only passenger who recently died in a small plane crash. Startlingly, even the Obamacare sign-up website healthcare.gov cannot verify Barack Obama’s identity! ( See also “ Investor’s Business Daily editorial asks if Obama’s entire life is a fiction .”)So I decided to just present what I’ve found and leave the reader to draw his/her own conclusions as to whether Mooch is a transexual.1. Obama calls his wife “Michael”In a speech on September 30, 2011, at the transition or change-of-office ceremony of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at Fort Myer, Virginia, Obama referred to his wife not as Michelle but as Michael. As you can verify for yourself in the video below, Obama clearly said: “Distinguished guests, men and women of the finest military in the world, most of all, Admiral Mullen, Deborah, Michael and I also want to acknowledge your son Jack who was deployed today, all of you have performed extraordinary service to our country….”Note: Deborah is Admiral Mullen’s wife."

"text": "#Supreme Court January 18, 2013 / 11:52 AM / 5 years ago After fumbled oath, Roberts and Obama leave little to chance Samuel P. Jacobs5 Min Read WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Four years ago, John Roberts blew it. In his debut at swearing in the next president, the Supreme Court chief justice stumbled over the oath at Barack Obama’s inauguration ceremony. Barack Obama takes the Oath of Office as the 44th President of the United States as he is sworn in by U. S. Chief Justice John Roberts (R) during the inauguration ceremony in Washington, January 20, 2009. REUTERS/Rick Wilking That led Obama to mix his words up too and the historic swearing-in of the first African-American president briefly became an awkward muddle. To silence doubts that Obama’s presidency might not be legal because he failed to say the oath properly, the two men tried again the next day in the White House and went through the correct, constitutionally mandated avowal, word for word. Now, Roberts gets his second try - twice: once in a closed ceremony in the White House’s Blue Room on Sunday, and then the public one on Capitol Hill the next day. The White House and the Supreme Court are leaving nothing to chance this time. After Obama won re-election on November 6, the two men exchanged a copy of an oath card, containing the precise wording, punctuation, and emphasis of the 35-word recitation, an inauguration official said. According to nearly a century of tradition, when the constitutionally required date of January 20 falls on a Sunday, the president is formally sworn in on that day then holds a public ceremony the next day where he repeats the oath again. The formal oath that makes Obama the president is the one taken on Sunday, but Monday’s ceremony -- and Obama’s inaugural speech -- is what will live on in the minds of Americans and TV viewers around the world as the start of his second term."

Melania Trump’s star turn at the Republican National Convention Monday night captivated a GOP crowd that had rarely heard from her through months of her husband’s tumultuous 2016 White House campaign. Her speech also drew attention after the discovery that two passages of her remarks matched nearly word-for-word the speech that first lady Michelle Obama delivered in 2008 at the Democratic National Convention. The passages in question focused on lessons that Trump’s wife says she learned from her parents and the relevance of their lessons in her experience as a mother. The passages came near the beginning of her roughly 10-minute speech. Mrs. Trump’s address was otherwise distinct from the address that Mrs. Obama gave when then-Sen.

"text": "\"Joey Ramone Lead singer with the band that did much to inspire punk rock Adam Sweeting Tue 17 Apr 2001 13.54 EDT13.54 EDT4Behind his studied blank-generation exterior, and ever-present camouflage of leather jacket, ripped jeans and giant sunglasses, Joey Ramone, who has died aged 49 after a six-year struggle against lymphatic cancer, brought an acid wit and a critical brain to punk rock. Joey played his first gig with the Ramones in 1974, and later that year the group was booked for a residency at New York's influential club, CBGB's. With his cohorts Dee Dee, Johnny and Tommy Ramone - their adopted surname was a musical alias once used by Paul Mc Cartney - Joey created a blueprint of short, furious songs played at terrifying speed which would prove hugely influential on Britain's punk-rock movement. The Ramones will always be remembered for such deadpan classics as Beat on the Brat, I Wanna Be Sedated and Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue. Joey was born Jeffrey Hyman in the Forest Hills district of New York. Although the Ramones cultivated a sullen, gum-chewing, delinquent image, the embodiment of their song Teenage Lobotomy, the young Jeff displayed sensitivity and artistic leanings. His mother ran an art gallery, and her son dabbled with painting before transferring his allegiance to music. He studied jazz drumming for a time and, during the early 1970s, played in several bands in the New York area, sometimes as \"\"Jeff Starship\"\". When the Ramones formed, the original plan was for Joey to be the drummer, but as the songs became increasingly frantic, he could not keep up, and switched to singing instead. He developed a monotonous nasal drone and impassive stage demeanour which became key ingredients of the band's cartoon-like appeal."

By matting down the fur, she makes it easier for the joey to find its way to her pouch and avoid becoming entangled in her fur. One or two joeys are most common, but they can have up to four joeys at a time. Once in her pouch, the newborn joey will find and attach to one of her four nipples. Once the joey has attached to the nipple, it will begin to swell inside the baby's mouth. Its jaw will remain locked on the nipple for the next eight to nine weeks. Should the joey come off prematurely, it will likely die. The baby's jaw is not developed enough to open and latch back on the nipple."

In fact, Fox Searchlight is quickly moving ahead with The Ramones, having recently hired Wesley Strick (who wrote the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street) to pen a screenplay based on the band’s career. To get some unsolicited advice for Strick, we tracked down the last surviving member of the first ( faux) family of punks, Tommy Ramone. Now 61, Tommy — the band’s first drummer, producer of its first four albums, and, later, manager — plays bluegrass-folk in a duo called Uncle Monk, and we found him in Kilkenny, Ireland. Some things never change: When we finally reached him, he was in the same bar he’d played in the night before. What, we asked him, is the definitive Ramones vignette that would have to be in a band biopic? \"\" We were riding in our van and we made a rest stop at this restaurant,\"\" recounted Tommy, \"\"and after seeing us walk in, the owner of the place went up to our tour manager and said, 'It's so nice of you to be taking care of those retarded kids.' He was serious. That was pretty status quo at the time. \"\" Life inside the Ramones was almost as raggedly taut as their music: Dee Dee Ramone was a lifelong heroin addict, dying of an overdose in 2002."

"text": "\"The Ramones - The Palladium - NYC - 1.7.1978 (SBD)It's hard to imagine that someone actually had to write the lines \"\"hey-ho, lets' go\"\". It feels like such a simple and basic chant that it must have predated time itself. But someone had to be the first to come up with it. The Ramones formed in in Queens, New York in 1974. They all came together sharing a mutual love of The Stooges who's raw bloody rage gave The Ramones infinite inspiration. They quickly found a home in Manhattan clubs like CBGB's and Max's Kansas City playing alongside the god fathers of punk like the New York Dolls and Iggy Pop. The Ramones can be credited with being the first true and pure punk band because they invented and perfected the basic punk formula. They boiled the music down to it's most basic elements. They played quick two minute songs, which was about half the length of the average Dolls tune. Every song was built around a fast sloppy 3 or 4 chord riff with a simple, driving, repetitive hook, a basic verse-chorsu-verse structure, and fast simple lyrics that walked a fine line between psychotic and retarded."

"text": "\"Ramones Background information Origin New York City, New York, USGenres Punk rock, proto-punk Years active 1974 - 1996Past members Joey Ramone, Johnny Ramone, Dee Dee Ramone, Tommy Ramone, Marky Ramone, Richie Ramone, C. Jay Ramone The Ramones were an American punk rock group who formed in New York City in 1974 and broke up in 1996. All the members of the group had stage names which replaced their real last names with \"\"Ramone.\"\" They were one of the first punk bands. Some others were The Clash, Sex Pistols, and The Damned. Three of the four founding members of the Ramones died within eight years of the band breaking up. The original lineup was made up of Joey on drums, Johnny on guitar and Dee Dee on bass and vocals. Tommy was their manager. Then Dee Dee said he was unable to sing while playing bass, so Tommy got Joey to sing and then played drums himself, leaving Dee Dee to backup sing. Later, Tommy left the band and was replaced on drums by a new member, Marky. Eventually Marky was fired and then replaced by another drummer, Richie."

He was also friends with Harrison Wells before learning his true identity as Eobard Thawne, though Eobard looked at Cisco as a surrogate son before and after his reveal. He also developed a rivalry with Hartley Rathaway and a friendly relationship with Ray Palmer. It was later revealed Cisco was also affected by the particle accelerator, causing him to become a meta-human with the ability to manipulate the vibrational energy of reality."

Chronicle photo by Gina Gayle U2 acted like a band with something to prove. From Bono's judo kick as drummer Larry Mullen crashed into the opening of \"\"Elevation\"\" to the rousing finale of \"\"Walk On,\"\" the four-man rock band stayed close to basics Thursday in the first of two sold-out shows at the Compaq Center in San Jose (formerly the San Jose Arena). After the technological overkill of the 1997 Pop Mart tour, which surpassed even the extravagant staging and multimedia manipulation of the band's previous football-stadium juggernaut, \"\"Zoo TV,\"\" there was some question whether U2 could stand in front of an audience and just play.

From the opening chord, it was a towering performance by a monumental band -- emotional, painfully earnest and authentically inspirational. Surrounding the stage was a heart-shaped ramp with its tip reaching halfway across the arena. With chairs gone from the floor and a roiling mass of people pushing against the runways, Bono could bring the show right into the audience. More than once, he stepped into the hands of the people, who held him aloft as he continued to sing. The Edge showered the band with a virtual orchestra in his guitar and foot pedals, while the engine room of drummer Mullen and bassist Adam Clayton kept steady thunder rolling underneath."

"text": "The Science: Orbital Mechanics Kepler’s Laws of Planetary Motion While Copernicus rightly observed that the planets revolve around the Sun, it was Kepler who correctly defined their orbits. At the age of 27, Kepler became the assistant of a wealthy astronomer, Tycho Brahe, who asked him to define the orbit of Mars. Brahe had collected a lifetime of astronomical observations, which, on his death, passed into Kepler’s hands. ( Brahe, who had his own Earth-centered model of the Universe, withheld the bulk of his observations from Kepler at least in part because he did not want Kepler to use them to prove Copernican theory correct.) Using these observations, Kepler found that the orbits of the planets followed three laws. Brahe believed in a model of the Universe with the Sun (rayed disk) orbiting the Earth (black dot), but the other planets ( symbols) orbiting the Sun. In an attempt to prove his theory, Brahe compiled extensive astronomical records, which Kepler eventually used to prove heliocentrism and to calculate the orbital laws. [ Adapted from Tycho Brahe, Astronomiae instauratae progymnasmata (“Introductory exercises toward the restoration of astronomy. ”)]Like many philosophers of his era, Kepler had a mystical belief that the circle was the Universe’s perfect shape, and that as a manifestation of Divine order, the planets’ orbits must be circular. For many years, he struggled to make Brahe’s observations of the motions of Mars match up with a circular orbit."

He observed the Great Comet of 1577 when he was six and the 1580 Lunar Eclipse, events that no doubt fueled his curiosity and enthusiasm for science. Although he originally wanted to be a minister and studied theology at the University of Tübingen, Kepler accepted a position in 1594 as a mathematics and astronomy teacher at a Protestant school in Graz, Austria. He later became an assistant to Tycho Brahe, the court mathematician to Emperor Rudolf II. Upon Tycho's death, Kepler inherited his position, as well as his extensive archive of planetary observations. Kepler is best known for discovering the three mathematical laws of planetary motion (\"\"Kepler's Laws\"\") that established the discipline of celestial mechanics. He also discovered the elliptical patterns in which the planets travel around the sun. At a time when the sun and other celestial bodies were still widely believed to circle the earth (geocentrism), Kepler defended Nicolaus Copernicus' theory that planets orbit the sun (heliocentrism) and sought to reconcile it with Scripture. 1 He revolutionized scientific thought by applying physics (then considered a branch of natural philosophy) to astronomy (seen as a branch of mathematics). An \"\"unorthodox\"\" Lutheran, Kepler had a deep love for Christ and the inspiration and authority of Scripture."

"text": "Gravity, also called gravitation, in mechanics, the universal force of attraction acting between all matter. It is by far the weakest known force in nature and thus plays no role in determining the internal properties of everyday matter. On the other hand, through its long reach and universal action, it controls the trajectories of bodies in the solar system and elsewhere in the universe and the structures and evolution of stars, galaxies, and the whole cosmos. On Earth all bodies have a weight, or downward force of gravity, proportional to their mass, which Earth’s mass exerts on them. Gravity is measured by the acceleration that it gives to freely falling objects. At Earth ’s surface the acceleration of gravity is about 9.8 metres (32 feet) per second per second. Thus, for every second an object is in free fall, its speed increases by about 9.8 metres per second. At the surface of the Moon the acceleration of a freely falling body is about 1.6 metres per second per second. Explanation of gravitational force. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.

At the age of three years he contracted smallpox and lingered close to death for several months. His childhood was also unsettled and unhappy. His father was a mercenary soldier who was away from home for long periods, sometimes years at a time. When Johannes’ mother went away to be with her husband, Johannes was left with his grandfather.

The first person to postulate that the Earth revolves around the Sun was probably Greek. In the 5th century BC the Greek philosophers Philolaus and Hicetas speculated separately that the Earth was a sphere revolving daily around some mystical “central fire” that regulated the universe. Two centuries later, Aristarchus of Samos extended this idea by proposing that the Earth and other planets moved around a definite central object, which he believed to be the Sun. As Earth orbits the Sun, we can detect a “tilt” of incoming starlight. English astronomer James Bradley discovered this phenomenon in 1725 by accident — while he was searching for stellar parallax!"

Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Photo by: rgbspace Viewpoint: Yes, early scientists believed that what appeared to be movement around Earth by the Sun and other entities was, in fact, just that. Viewpoint: No, later scientists such as Nicolaus Copernicus and Galileo correctly realized that Earth moves around the Sun, not vice versa, and thus cannot be the center of the universe. It is easy in our human nature to believe that we are the center of the universe. A newborn infant must learn through experimentation and sensation that he is a part of the world, not the entirety. Any parent can attest that as children mature, they must be helped to understand that the universe does not revolve around them and their needs and desires. Even as adults, we often struggle to see the world from a perspective other than our own. Likewise, it was natural for ancient peoples to assume that the universe they observed was centered upon Earth.

They were derived by the German astronomer Johannes Kepler, whose analysis of the observations of the 16th-century Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe enabled him to announce his first two laws in the year 1609 and a third law nearly a decade later, in 1618.

From these precise positions of the planets at correspondingly accurate times, Kepler empirically determined his famous three laws describing planetary motion: (1)…READ MOREKepler’s three laws of planetary motion can be stated as follows: ( 1) All planets move about the Sun in elliptical orbits, having the Sun as one of the foci. ( 2) A radius vector joining any planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal lengths of time. ( 3) The squares of the sidereal periods (of revolution) of the planets are directly proportional to the cubes of their mean distances from the Sun. Knowledge of these laws, especially the second (the law of areas), proved crucial to Sir Isaac Newton in 1684–85, when he formulated his famous law of gravitation between Earth and the Moon and between the Sun and the planets, postulated by him to have validity for all objects anywhere in the universe. Newton showed that the motion of bodies subject to central gravitational force need not always follow the elliptical orbits specified by the first law of Kepler but can take paths defined by other, open conic curves; the motion can be in parabolic or hyperbolic orbits, depending on the total energy of the body."

The recorded history of Mars observation dates back to the era of the ancient Egyptian astronomers in the 2nd millennium BCE. Chinese records about the motions of Mars appeared before the founding of the Zhou Dynasty (1045 BCE). Detailed observations of the position of Mars were made by Babylonian astronomers who developed arithmetic techniques to predict the future position of the planet. The ancient Greek philosophers and Hellenistic astronomers developed a geocentric model to explain the planet's motions. Measurements of Mars' angular diameter can be found in ancient Greek and Indian texts. In the 16th century, Nicolaus Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model for the Solar System in which the planets follow circular orbits about the Sun. This was revised by Johannes Kepler, yielding an elliptic orbit for Mars that more accurately fitted the observational data. The first telescopic observation of Mars was by Galileo Galilei in 1610. Within a century, astronomers discovered distinct albedo features on the planet, including the dark patch Syrtis Major Planum and polar ice caps."

Kepler was able to summarize the carefully collected data of his mentor - Tycho Brahe - with three statements that described the motion of planets in a sun-centered solar system. Kepler's efforts to explain the underlying reasons for such motions are no longer accepted; nonetheless, the actual laws themselves are still considered an accurate description of the motion of any planet and any satellite. Kepler's three laws of planetary motion can be described as follows: The path of the planets about the sun is elliptical in shape, with the center of the sun being located at one focus. ( The Law of Ellipses)An imaginary line drawn from the center of the sun to the center of the planet will sweep out equal areas in equal intervals of time. ( The Law of Equal Areas)The ratio of the squares of the periods of any two planets is equal to the ratio of the cubes of their average distances from the sun. ( The Law of Harmonies)The Law of Ellipses Kepler's first law - sometimes referred to as the law of ellipses - explains that planets are orbiting the sun in a path described as an ellipse. An ellipse can easily be constructed using a pencil, two tacks, a string, a sheet of paper and a piece of cardboard. Tack the sheet of paper to the cardboard using the two tacks. Then tie the string into a loop and wrap the loop around the two tacks."

Key points: Philosophy that drove Kepler's science; Kepler's three laws After Tycho died, his relatives fought Kepler for the observations because they wanted to gather the glory that would result from interpreting them. Eventually, Kepler prevailed. It took genius as well as ambition to cash in on Tycho's work - Tycho's relatives didn't have a chance!Kepler believed in the Copernican system and sought the key to reconciling Tycho’s observations with a heliocentric model for the solar system. In addition to his mathematical genius, his philosophical contribution was huge - as described by Einstein: \"\" [Kepler] had to realize clearly that logical-mathematical theorizing, no matter how lucid, could not guarantee truth by itself; that the most beautiful logical theory means nothing in natural science without comparison with the exactest experience. Without this philosophical attitude, his work would not have been possible.\"\" ( from the introduction Einstein wrote for Baumgard & Callan's 'Johannes Kepler: Life and Letters' (1953))."

"text": "Physical science, the systematic study of the inorganic world, as distinct from the study of the organic world, which is the province of biological science. Physical science is ordinarily thought of as consisting of four broad areas: astronomy, physics, chemistry, and the Earth sciences. Each of these is in turn divided into fields and subfields. This article discusses the historical development—with due attention to the scope, principal concerns, and methods—of the first three of these areas. The Earth sciences are discussed in a separate article. Physics, in its modern sense, was founded in the mid-19th century as a synthesis of several older sciences—namely, those of mechanics, optics, acoustics, electricity, magnetism, heat, and the physical properties of matter. The synthesis was based in large part on the recognition that the different forces of nature are related and are, in fact, interconvertible because they are forms of energy. The Compact Muon Solenoid magnet arriving in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, 2007. © 2007 CERNThe boundary between physics and chemistry is somewhat arbitrary. As it developed in the 20th century, physics is concerned with the structure and behaviour of individual atoms and their components, while chemistry deals with the properties and reactions of molecules."

In 622 AD, the Prophet Mohammed launched his holy war against the infidels. Within a century, the Islamic Empire extended eastwards across northern India to the borders of China, and westwards across Asia Minor, to north Africa. With the Arabic conquest of Spain and Sicily, the empire made it into western Europe. Alexandria (Egypt), the center of classical learning, fell to the Arabs in 642. When the period of military expansion ended, Islamic scholars became enthusiastic students of classical philosophy. Many important manuscripts were translated from Greek into Arabic.

You can’t, so here are the ten most important things astronomers throughout the ages have discovered:10. The Movement of the Stars and Planets The Discovery It’s tough to wade through a couple thousand years of ancient Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, Indian, Chinese, Mayan and Persian astronomical history to pick out the highlights, so I’ going to cheat and roll all of their achievements up into one entry. Maybe if their civilisations hadn’t died out they would have got a better spot on this list, but because they couldn’t keep their empires together the ancient world gets stuck with the number ten spot. That’ll learn ‘em. How Important Was It?

Heliocentrism, or heliocentricism, is the astronomical model in which the Earth and planets revolve around a stationary Sun at the centre of the Solar System. The word comes from the Greek ( ἥλιος helios \"\"sun\"\" and κέντρον kentron \"\"centre\"\"). Historically, heliocentrism was opposed to geocentrism, which placed the Earth at the centre. The notion that the Earth revolves around the Sun had been proposed as early as the 3rd century BC by Aristarchus of Samos, but Aristarchus's heliocentrism attracted little attention until Copernicus revived and elaborated it. Lucio Russo, however, argues that this is a misleading impression resulting from the loss of scientific works of the Hellenistic Era. Using indirect evidence he argues that a heliocentric view was expounded in Hipparchus's work on gravity."

Jefferson was one of the Republicans, who wanted stronger states' rights. This was really a fundamental difference between the Founding Fathers and it caused a split between Adams and Jefferson (who had been friends) that lasted into their later years. They eventually reconciled. Adams, as President, was beset with a lot of issues, both international and domestic, that were all new to a President and to the country as a whole. Adams' personality and management style were totally different from Washington, and besides, he followed Washington which would have been tough for anybody. His presidency was almost doomed to failure from the beginning, and his failures enabled the Republicans to make a strong challenge. By that time, Jefferson was opposed to Adams on almost every political issue. It's kinda like now when we had GW Bush against Obama - considering Bush's record, almost any decent Democrat would have beaten him. One other thing was that politics in those days was a lot more dirty than even now (hard to believe, I know)."

Subscribe to our Question of the Week: Question: \"\"What is the definition of sin?\"\" Answer: Sin is described in the Bible as transgression of the law of God ( 1 John 3:4) and rebellion against God ( Deuteronomy 9:7; Joshua 1:18 ). Sin had its beginning with Lucifer, probably the most beautiful and powerful of the angels. Not content with his position, he desired to be higher than God, and that was his downfall, the beginning of sin ( Isaiah 14:12-15 ). Renamed Satan, he brought sin to the human race in the Garden of Eden, where he tempted Adam and Eve with the same enticement, “you shall be like God.” Genesis 3 describes Adam and Eve’s rebellion against God and against His command. Since that time, sin has been passed down through all the generations of mankind and we, Adam’s descendants, have inherited sin from him. Romans 5:12 tells us that through Adam sin entered the world, and so death was passed on to all men because “the wages of sin is death” ( Romans 6:23 ). Through Adam, the inherent inclination to sin entered the human race, and human beings became sinners by nature."

( The Granger Collection, New York—2)By John Ferlingsmithsonian.com November 1, 2004On the afternoon of September 23, 1800, Vice President Thomas Jefferson, from his Monticello home, wrote a letter to Benjamin Rush, the noted Philadelphia physician. One matter dominated Jefferson’s thoughts: that year’s presidential contest. Indeed, December 3, Election Day—the date on which the Electoral College would meet to vote—was only 71 days away. Jefferson was one of four presidential candidates. As he composed his letter to Rush, Jefferson paused from time to time to gather his thoughts, all the while gazing absently through an adjacent window at the shimmering heat and the foliage, now a lusterless pale green after a long, dry summer. Though he hated leaving his hilltop plantation and believed, as he told Rush, that gaining the presidency would make him “a constant butt for every shaft of calumny which malice & falsehood could form,” he nevertheless sought the office “with sincere zeal. ”He had been troubled by much that had occurred in incumbent John Adams’ presidency and was convinced that radicals within Adams’ Federalist Party were waging war against what he called the “spirit of 1776”—goals the American people had hoped to attain through the Revolution. He had earlier characterized Federalist rule as a “reign of witches,” insisting that the party was “adverse to liberty” and “calculated to undermine and demolish the republic.” If the Federalists prevailed, he believed, they would destroy the states and create a national government every bit as oppressive as that which Great Britain had tried to impose on the colonists before 1776."

But these early American leaders soon began to invent a new and essential role for political parties in a democracy. When the Constitution was written in 1787, the founders thought of political parties as \"\"factions,\"\" acting only for their own selfish interests rather than the public good. The founders saw instances in history when factions resorted to assassination and civil war if they failed to get their way. The writers of the Constitution believed that political parties would play no formal role in the new government. The Constitution made no mention of them. Even in electing the president, the founders assumed the absence of political parties. The Constitution established an Electoral College, which called for a small number of electors—elected or appointed in the states— to meet, deliberate, and choose the best person for president.

Depiction of the sin of Adam and Eve by Jan Brueghel the Elder and Pieter Paul Rubens Original sin, also called ancestral sin, [1] is a Christian belief of the state of sin in which humanity exists since the fall of man, stemming from Adam and Eve 's rebellion in Eden, namely the sin of disobedience in consuming the forbidden fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. [ 2] This condition has been characterized in many ways, ranging from something as insignificant as a slight deficiency, or a tendency toward sin yet without collective guilt, referred to as a \"\"sin nature\"\", to something as drastic as total depravity or automatic guilt of all humans through collective guilt. [ 3]The concept of original sin was first alluded to in the 2nd century by Irenaeus, Bishop of Lyon in his controversy with certain dualist Gnostics. [ 4] Other church fathers such as Augustine also developed the doctrine, [2] seeing it as based on the New Testament teaching of Paul the Apostle ( Romans 5:12–21 and 1 Corinthians 15:21-22) and the Old Testament verse of Psalms 51:5. [ 5] [6] [7] [8] [9] Tertullian, Cyprian, Ambrose and Ambrosiaster considered that humanity shares in Adam's sin, transmitted by human generation. Augustine's formulation of original sin was popular among Protestant reformers, such as Martin Luther and John Calvin, who equated original sin with concupiscence (or \"\"hurtful desire\"\"), affirming that it persisted even after baptism and completely destroyed freedom, although Augustine said that free will was weakened but not destroyed by original sin. [ 2] The Jansenist movement, which the Catholic Church declared to be heretical, also maintained that original sin destroyed freedom of will. [ 10] Instead the Catholic Church declares \"\"Baptism, by imparting the life of Christ's grace, erases original sin and turns a man back towards God, but the consequences for nature, weakened and inclined to evil, persist in man and summon him to spiritual battle.\"\" ["

Before one gets born again he is spiritually dead in his sins and lost (Eph. 2:1). Similarly, if one backslides he experiences spiritual death again, as the prodigal son did (Luke 15:24)! There are many death blows to eternal security found in Scripture. The spiritual death of the righteous who turn to evil is a clear one! At the very core of the false teaching of eternal security is the concept that a person once saved (a righteous person) will not experience spiritual death (lose salvation) over his sin -- when he becomes a backslider. The clarity of the Scriptures to the contrary is overwhelming from Genesis through Revelation starting with the first time God ever spoke to Adam, which was his only commandment for him to observe and the dire consequence of disobedience being spiritual death: PROOF That Spiritual Death Can Happen To Christians God Warned Adam About Spiritual Death And the LORD God commanded the man, \"\"You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die \"\" (Gen 2:16,17) Adam was righteous and resided in the garden of Eden, a paradise garden only for the righteous, but lived with the ever-present danger of spiritual death.

Then I try to recreate those things with toys, because that's what drives me . These are 8 things John Adams loved.#1He was the “father of the navy” and a leading voice in the war for independence, but deep down, John Adams was a peace-loving hippie. He loved peace so much he referred to his diplomatic notes from Europe as his “peace journal” and he named his farm “Peace Field. ”As much as he loved peace, the country was being sucked into war during his presidency. The final straw was known as the XYZ Affair. France demanded bribes from US ambassadors to restart diplomatic relations after the French Revolution – X, Y, and Z were the codenames for the French extortionists. This insult riled up America's hatred for France, and Adams was never more popular than when he was making a strong case for war against the French Republic. But he threw it all away when he took a chance to negotiate without bloodshed. Avoiding a devastating war is now seen as one of the best things he ever did, but back then his supposed flip-flop sent him packing after one term, right back to his Peace Field.#2What did this dirty hippie grow in his Peacefield?"

The controversial 1828 Tariff of Abominations was designed to protect American industry from cheaper British commodities. Opposition to the rise of taxes on raw materials, like cotton and tobacco, in the South led to the Nullification Crisis. Definition of a Tariff Tariff Definition: What is a tariff? A Tariff is a tax placed on goods imported from foreign countries. Tariffs enable a nation to raise money from these taxes and at the same time protect a nation's goods from cheaper priced foreign items.1828 Tariff of Abominations for kids John Quincy Adams was the 6th American President who served in office from March 4, 1825 to March 4, 1829. One of the important events during his presidency was the 1828 Tariff of Abominations.1801-1828: Evolution Era US American History What was the Purpose of the 1828 Tariff of Abominations?

Many competing views attract the attention of Christians producing great confusion and leading many Christians to conclude that it just doesn’t matter. In this article, I will explain and give a brief defense of the young-earth creationist view as the only proper understanding of Scripture. All other views are compromise with error. I will also explain some of the reasons why this matters for all Christians. This article is an extract from the beginning of a longer paper which was originally published in Answers Research Journal in 2009 as Systematic Theology Texts and the Age of the Earth. That paper critiques the old-earth arguments in three of the leading systematic theology textbooks (by Millard Erickson, Wayne Grudem and Gordon Lewis/Bruce Demarest) used in seminaries and Christian colleges in America and around the world. The section of that article is used for this present article with permission of the ARJ editor, and the pdf of this shorter document may be particularly useful as a handout in Sunday school or other teaching contexts, as two teachers have previously requested. Young-earth creationists believe that the creation days of Genesis 1 were six literal (24-hour) days, which occurred 6,000–12,000 years ago. 1 They believe that about 2,300–3,300 years before Christ, the surface of the earth was radically rearranged by Noah’s Flood."

Flag Did John Adams believe in slaves? Answer by Matt Huff Confidence votes 66\"\"I have, through my whole life, held the practice of slavery in such abhorrence, that I have never owned a negro or any other slave; though I have lived for many years in times when the practice was not disgraceful; when the best men in my vicinity thought it not inconsistent with their character; and when it has cost me thousands of dollars of the labor and subsistence of free men, which I might have saved by the purchase of negroes at times when they were very cheap.\"\" -- Works of John Adams , vol., p. 380. So no, he wasn't a fan of slavery. John Adams, our first Vice President and second President, was a lifelong opponent of slavery. Even though he opposed the system of slavery, he did not oppose removing Jefferson's condemnation of slavery in the original draft of the Declaration of Independence. He felt uniting the colonies for independence was more important at that time, than causing the Continental Congress to debate the issue of slavery. Abigail Adams was an abolitionist, but Adams took no public positions on slavery."

It can also be made synthetically from a chemical called SBR (Styrene Butadiene). While the actual latex molecule in both is similar, natural latex has a more complex chemistry and more of the desirable qualities that make latex attractive in mattresses (elasticity, durability, compression modulus, resilience, and others). SBR is also less expensive than natural rubber (NR). Besides the differences in natural or synthetic raw materials, latex foam is usually made using one of two different manufacturing methods. The first is called Dunlop which produces a denser form of latex. This method is more common around the world as it is a simpler less expensive method of manufacture. When used by a reputable manufacturer, it produces a very high quality latex that is very dense and very elastic. Because in this method of manufacturing some of the latex particles \"\"settle\"\" while it is being made, Dunlop is a little less consistent in softness over the entire surface of the layer."

For most of their history, condoms have been used both as a method of birth control, and as a protective measure against sexually transmitted diseases. Condoms have been made from a variety of materials; prior to the 19th century, chemically treated linen and animal tissue (intestine or bladder) are the best documented varieties. Rubber condoms gained popularity in the mid-19th century, and in the early 20th century major advances were made in manufacturing techniques. Prior to the introduction of the combined oral contraceptive pill, condoms were the most popular birth \"\"control\"\" method in the Western world. In the second half of the 20th century, the low cost of condoms contributed to their importance in family planning programs throughout the developing world. Condoms have also become increasingly important in efforts to fight the AIDS pandemic. The oldest condoms ever excavated were found in a cesspit located in the grounds of Dudley Castle and were made from animal membrane, the condoms dated back to as early as 1642. ["

[ 1]Classic bell of a bicycle A bicycle, also called a cycle or bike, is a human-powered, pedal-driven, single-track vehicle, having two wheels attached to a frame, one behind the other. A bicycle rider is called a cyclist, or bicyclist. Bicycles were introduced in the late 19th century in Europe, and by the early 21st century, more than 1 billion have been produced worldwide. [ 1] [2] [3] These numbers far exceed the number of cars, both in total and ranked by the number of individual models produced. [ 4] [5] [6] They are the principal means of transportation in many regions. They also provide a popular form of recreation, and have been adapted for use as children's toys, general fitness, military and police applications, courier services, bicycle racing and bicycle stunts."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Lists of British inventions)navigation search Engineers during World War Two test a model of a Halifax bomber in a wind tunnel, an invention that dates back to 1871The following is a list and timeline of innovations as well as inventions and discoveries that involved British people or the United Kingdom including predecessor states in the history of the formation of the United Kingdom. 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.

Early Life Fitch was born in 1743 in Connecticut. His mother died when he was four. He was raised by a father who was harsh and rigid. A sense of injustice and failure wreathed his life from the start. Pulled from school when he was only eight and made to work on the hated family farm. He became, in his own words, \"\"almost crazy after learning. \"\" He eventually fled the farm and took up silversmithing.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Interchangeable parts are parts ( components) that are, for practical purposes, identical. They are made to specifications that ensure that they are so nearly identical that they will fit into any assembly of the same type. One such part can freely replace another, without any custom fitting (such as filing ). This interchangeability allows easy assembly of new devices, and easier repair of existing devices, while minimizing both the time and skill required of the person doing the assembly or repair. The concept of interchangeability was crucial to the introduction of the assembly line at the beginning of the 20th century, and has become an important element of some modern manufacturing but is missing from other important industries. Interchangeability of parts was achieved by combining a number of innovations and improvements in machining operations and the invention of several machine tools, such as the slide rest lathe, screw-cutting lathe, turret lathe, milling machine and metal planer. Additional innovations included jigs for guiding the machine tools, fixtures for holding the workpiece in the proper position, and blocks and gauges to check the accuracy of the finished parts. [ 1] Electrification allowed individual machine tools to be powered by electric motors, eliminating line shaft drives from steam engines or water power and allowing higher speeds, making modern large scale manufacturing possible. [ 2] Modern machine tools often have numerical control (NC) which evolved into CNC (computerized numeric control) when microprocessors became available. Methods for industrial production of interchangeable parts in the United States were first developed in the nineteenth century."

Robert Fulton gets well-deserved credit for building an economically useful combination of steam engine and hull design, but he was certainly not the first person to build a steamboat, nor even the first American to do so. The Englishman Jonathan Hull patented a steamboat in 1737, and Americans James Rumsey, John Stevens, and James Fitch all ran working steamboats on American rivers before Fulton launched The Steamboat (later called the Clermont ) in 1807. In 1805 Oliver Evans, of automatic flour-milling fame, launched his own version of a steam wagon-steamboat called the Orukter Amphibolos. In July of that year Evans ’ s contraption, a seventeen-ton steam engine on wheels, trundled around downtown Philadelphia and then plunged into the Schuylkill River, where its paddle wheels took over and pushed the vessel sixteen miles to a dock on the Delaware. Evans would later design an important new steamboat engine, but it was Fulton ’ s successful ascension of the Hudson from New York to Albany and back in August 1807 that proved the practicability of steam travel. Fulton had many advantages over his competitors, including technical virtuosity; he had previously invented a submarine, a marble-cutting machine, and several types of bridges. But Fulton also had the backing of one of the richest men in America, Robert Livingston, who not only possessed great wealth but also happened to hold two monopolies on steam navigation, one granted by the New York state legislature for the state ’ s rivers and one granted by the Louisiana Territory for the lower Mississippi valley. Monopoly. Fulton ’ s success on the Hudson generated a wave or public enthusiasm for steamboat building and travel."

"text": "\"steamboatdefinition : steamboat A steamboat is a boat that is propelled primarily by steam power, typically driving propellers or paddlewheels. Steamboats sometimes use the prefix designation SS, S. S. or S/S (for 'Screw Steamer') or PS (for 'Paddle Steamer'), however these designations are most often used for steamships. The term steamboat is used to refer to smaller, insular, steam-powered boats working on lakes and rivers, particularly riverboats. As using steam became more reliable, steam power became applied to larger, ocean-going vessels. ==Background== ===Limitations of the Newcomen steam engine=== Early steamboat designs used Newcomen steam engines. These engines were very large and heavy and produced little power (unfavorable power to weight ratio). Also, the Newcomen engine produced a reciprocating or rocking motion because it was designed for pumping. The piston stroke was caused by a water jet in the steam-filled cylinder, which condensed the steam, creating a vacuum, which in turn caused atmospheric pressure to drive the piston downward. The piston relied on the weight of the rod connecting to the underground pump to return the piston to the top of the cylinder. The heavy weight of the Newcomen engine required a structurally strong boat and the reciprocating motion of the engine beam required a complicated mechanism to produce propulsion.===Rotary motion engines=== James Watt's design improvements increased the efficiency of the steam engine, improving the power to weight ratio, and created an engine capable of rotary motion by using a double-acting cylinder which injected steam at each end of the piston stroke to move the piston back and forth."

In terri tory, population and business importance it is one of the largest towns of the county. Its territory, which originally em braced the whole northeast corner of Connecticut east of the Quinebaug and north-of Plainfield, has been diminished by the formation of Thompson and Putnam in part from its territory. It is bounded by Putnam on the north, Rhode Island on the east, Sterling and Plainfield on the south, and Brooklyn and Pomfret on the west. Much of its surface is hilly and but moderately adapted to agriculture. It is well drained by the Assawaga or Five Mile river and its tributary, the Whetstone branch, and the Quinebaug, into which the former empties. The last named stream forms its entire western boundary. These waters afford power for a number of mills and manufacturing concerns, this town being one of the large manufacturing towns of the county. Alexander’s Lake, a handsome sheet of water a mile in length by a half mile in breadth, lies in the northwest part, and Chau bamaug pond, a narrow body a mile and a half long, lies near the eastern border.

"text": "\"article by Richard A. Glenner, DDSThere is no record in ancient history of impression-taking in dentistry. Matthaus Purmann (1648–1711), a German surgeon, appears to have discussed making sketches and wax models from which prosthetic appliances were copied. The concept of taking impressions to make models, from which prosthetic appliances could be constructed, goes back to the early 18th century. Another German, Philipp Pfaff (1713–1766), dentist to Frederick the Great of Prussia, was the first to describe a technique of taking impressions with sealing wax, which had been softened in hot water, and pouring plaster of Paris into the impression to form a rigid cast. 1,2In November of 1787, John Greenwood ran an advertisement in the New York Daily Advertiser. This ad stated that \"\"persons at any distance may be supplied with artificial teeth by sending an impression, taken in wax, of the places where wanted …\"\" This appears to be an account of the earliest use of models in dental prostheses in this country. John Greenwood’s son, Isaac John Greenwood, in a letter to Dr. Jonathan Taft in 1861, states that neither his grandfather, Isaac Greenwood, who practiced in Boston prior to the Revolutionary War, nor his father, John Greenwood, who practiced in New York until 1820, used plaster of Paris to make models, but both used beeswax to make moulds. Isaac John Greenwood further states that he and his brother, Clarke, did not use plaster of Paris until 1820. 3,4Figure 1: Impression box or tray from The Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology of The Human Teeth by Paul Goddard, 1844. In 1819, Levi S. Parmly, in his A Practical Guide to the Management of the Teeth, which was written primarily for popular consumption and published in Philadelphia, states that his method of making artificial teeth is \"\"entirely new in this country, and is considered one of the greatest improvements in the dental art.\"\""

By the early spring of 1942 the Japanese high command was faced with an unexpected problem. All of their initial objectives had been achieved at far less cost than expected, and rather than consolidate their defensive perimeter, the various power groups within the Japanese armed forces each began to press for further expansion. The Army wanted to concentrate on the war in China. The Naval General Staff wanted to attack either west to Ceylon and India or south to Australia. Finally Admiral Yamamoto and the staff of the Combined Fleet wanted to move east, occupy Midway, Johnston and Palmyra Islands, and once again threaten Hawaii, forcing the American fleet to come out of port for the decisive battle that the Combined Fleet believed would win the war for Japan. At first the Naval General Staff got their way, and plans were put in place for an attack on Port Moresby, on the southern coast of New Guinea, but after the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo on 18 April 1942 Yamamoto got his way. The main Japanese attack in the summer of 1942 would be the thrust east that ended with the battle of Midway. Despite this change of plan, the Naval General Staff decided to continue with Operation MO, the invasion of Port Moresby. The Japanese Force Task Force MO was made up of five separate groups."

"text": "\"Humanities ›History & Culture The History of Steamboats Before Steam Engine Trains, There Was the Steamboat Share Flipboard Email Print Encyclopaedia Britannica/UIG/Getty Imagesby Mary Bellis Updated December 29, 2017The era of the steamboat began in the late 1700s, thanks initially to Scotsman James Watt, who, in 1769 patented an improved version of the steam engine that helped usher in the Industrial Revolution and spurred other inventors on to explore how technology could be used to propel boats, revolutionizing transportation in the United States. The First Steamboats John Fitch was the first inventor to build a steamboat in the United States -- a 45-foot boat which successfully traveled on the Delaware River on August 22, 1787. He later built a larger vessel that carried passengers and freight between Philadelphia and Burlington, New Jersey. After a contentious battle with another inventor, James Rumsey, over claims to a similar design for a steamboat, he was ultimately granted his first United States patent for a steamboat on August 26, 1791. However, he was not awarded a monopoly so was still in competition with Rumsey and other inventors. Between 1785 and 1796, John Fitch constructed four different steamboats that successfully plied rivers and lakes to demonstrate the feasibility of using steam for water locomotion. His models utilized various combinations of propulsive force, including ranked paddles (patterned after Indian war canoes), paddle wheels and screw propellers. But while his boats were mechanically successful, Fitch failed to pay sufficient attention to construction and operating costs and, having lost investors to other inventors, was unable to stay afloat financially. Robert Fulton, the \"\"Father of Steam Navigation\"\"That honor would go to American inventor Robert Fulton, who had successfully built and operated a submarine in France in 1801, before turning his talents to the steamboat. His achievements in making steamboats a commercial success was why he’s known as the \"\"father of steam navigation. \"\""

Tied to the dock was a strange-looking craft. A smokestack rose above the deck. From the sides of the boat, there stood out queer shaped paddle wheels. Of a sudden, the clouds of smoke from the smokestack grew larger, the paddle wheels turned, and the boat, to the astonishment of all, moved. It was \"\"Fulton's Folly,\"\" the Clermont, on her first trip to Albany."

"text": "Today’s Wonder of the Day was inspired by Macade. Macade Wonders, “ How do steam engines work? ” Thanks for WONDERing with us, Macade!Listen A s the fledgling United States began to take shape and grow beyond its original 13 colonies, adventurers found that there was a lot of territory to explore to the south and west. Transportation back then wasn't what it is today, though. There were no cars, trucks, trains, or airplanes. If you wanted to explore the frontier, you had to do so on foot, on horseback, or on water. Rivers offered a faster means of getting from one place to another as long as you traveled with the flow of the river. Early boats relied upon manpower to row them or sails to power them when the wind blew. All of that changed in the late 18 th century with the invention of the steamboat. Several people must be mentioned when discussing the invention of the steamboat."

Eighty-three spectators and French driver Pierre Bouillin, who raced under the name Pierre Levegh, were killed and nearly 180 more sustained injuries in the most catastrophic accident in motorsport history which led Mercedes-Benz to retire from motor racing until 1989. To reach his pit-stop, Mike Hawthorn had to cut in front of Lance Macklin, causing Macklin to swerve into the path of Levegh's much faster Mercedes. The collision propelled Levegh's car upwards and into an earthen embankment and throwing the driver out, killing him. The momentum of the heavy components of the car carried them into the packed grandstand with deadly effect, and the wreck burst into flames. There was much debate over the apportioning of blame. The official inquiry held none of the drivers specifically responsible, and criticised the layout of the 30-year-old track, which had not been designed for cars of this speed.

"text": "Secretary of State John Hay and the Open Door in China, 1899–1900Secretary of State John Hay first articulated the concept of the “Open Door” in China in a series of notes in 1899–1900. These Open Door Notes aimed to secure international agreement to the U. S. policy of promoting equal opportunity for international trade and commerce in China, and respect for China’s administrative and territorial integrity. British and American policies toward China had long operated under similar principles, but once Hay put them into writing, the “Open Door” became the official U. S. policy towards the Far East in the first half of the 20th century. Secretary of State John Hay The idea behind the Open Door Notes originated with British and American China experts, Alfred E. Hippisley and William W. Rockhill. Both men believed that their countries’ economic interests in China would be best protected and promoted by a formal agreement among the European powers on the principle of maintaining an Open Door for trade and commercial activity. Under their influence, Secretary Hay sent the first of the Open Door Notes on September 6, 1899, to the other great powers that had an interest in China, including Great Britain, France, Russia, Germany, and Japan. These nations maintained significant physical and commercial presences in China, and were protective of their various spheres of influence and trading privileges there, and elsewhere in Asia. Hay proposed a free, open market and equal trading opportunity for merchants of all nationalities operating in China, based in part on the most favored nation clauses already established in the Treaties of Wangxia and Tianjin. Hay argued that establishing equal access to commerce would benefit American traders and the U. S. economy, and hoped that the Open Door would also prevent disputes between the powers operating in China. For the United States, which held relatively little political clout and no territory in China, the principle of non-discrimination in commercial activity was particularly important."

While steel supply is tight, the market is not experiencing a shortage in supply like it did in 2004. Dale Funk | May 01, 2008One of the worst steel shortages in history is squeezing electrical manufacturers already struggling to cope with a downturn in the economy and rising fuel surcharges. Steel prices are rising dramatically, forcing manufacturers to increase prices by at least 5 percent to 10 percent on steel products. “The cost of hot-rolled sheet steel peaked in 2004 at about $820 per ton. Now we're looking at $1,000 and the steel mills have made it real clear that that's not the end of it, so it's going to go up even higher,” says David Burnette, national sales manager, Electrical Division, Wheatland Tube, Swarthmore, Pa. Since the beginning of the year, the cost of hot-rolled steel is up 81 percent; cold rolled is up 69 percent; and galvanized steel is up 54 percent. The spot prices on flat-rolled steel are now at the $1,000 mark. About a year ago, it was selling at about $650 to $700 a metric ton. Many manufacturers and reps are calling the steel crisis the worst they have seen, or at least since a similar steel spike in 2004. Don Brody, vice president of sales for Hubbell Electrical Products, says steel prices seem to be escalating at a faster pace than they did in 2004. “"

Great Britain had greater interests in China than any other power and successfully maintained the policy of the open door until the late 19th century. After the first Sino-Japanese War (1894–95), however, a scramble for “spheres of influence” in various parts of coastal China—primarily by Russia, France, Germany, and Great Britain—began. Within each of those spheres the controlling major power claimed exclusive privileges of investment, and it was feared that each would likewise seek to monopolize the trade. Moreover, it was generally feared that the breakup of China into economic segments dominated by various great powers would lead to complete subjection and the division of the country into colonies.

"text": "The Sons: John Hay (1838-1905)The chief qualification of John Hay for his White House position may have been his sense of humor. Hay could guffaw while colleague John G. Nicolay growled. In comparison to the somewhat morose disposition of Nicolay, Hay had a more cheerful – if occasionally melancholy – personality. “ Hay has laughed through his term,” said editor-politician John W. Forney who frequented the White House. 1Hay was described by another White House colleague, William O. Stoddard as “quite young, and looks younger than he is; of a fresh and almost boyish complexion; quite a favorite among the ladies, and with a gift for epigram and repartee.” 2 Stoddard wrote of the importance of Hay’s humor in breaking somber mood at the White House: Mr. Lincoln says that he must laugh sometimes, or he would surely die. He laughed right here, a few Sundays ago. The letters were about done, when in came John Hay, all one bubble. He is sober enough most of the time, but he had heard something funny, and he was good-natured about dividing it. Generally he can tell a story better than most boys of his age, but he broke down on that one before he got well into it."

"text": "Thirteenth Amendment Abraham Lincoln Lyman Trumbull House of Representatives Much of Mr. Lincoln’s actions regarding emancipation were dictated by timing. Illinois attorney Leonard Swett said he spoke to President Lincoln in October 1863 about a constitutional amendment to abolish slavery: “I told him …I believed the result of this war would be the extermination of slavery; that Congress would pass the resolution; and that it was proper at that time to be done. I told him if he took that stand, it was an outside position and no one could maintain himself upon any measure more radical, and if failed to take the positions, his rivals would. Turning to me suddenly he said, ‘Is not that question doing well enough now?’ I replied that it was. ‘ Well’, said he, ‘I have never done an official act with a view to promote my own personal aggrandizement, and I don’t like to begin now, I can see that time coming; whoever can wait for it, will see it – whoever stands in its way, will be run over by it. '” 1The longer the South delayed defeat, the more inevitable change was. A few months later on January 1, 1864, another Illinois friend, Congressman Isaac Arnold, paid a New Years Day call on Mr. Lincoln. According to Arnold’s biography of Mr. Lincoln: “After congratulating the President on the great victories which had been achieved in the East and the West, and the brightening prospects of peace, [Arnold] said:‘I hope, Mr. President that on next New Year’s day I have the pleasure of congratulating you on three events which now seem very probable. ”“What are they?”"

"text": "\"Government & Politics Law Q: When Did Legalism Begin? A: Quick Answer Legalism began during the Warring States era of China, between 475 and 221 B. C., according to Encyclopedia Britannica. Because of the conflicting, chaotic nature of this period, the utilitarian precepts of legalism caught on with the ruling class of the Qin Dynasty.

Credit: Billy Hustace The Image Bank Getty Images Full Answer Some scholars note the existence of legalist ideas as early as the writings of Kuan Chung in the 7th century B. C.; however, legalism in its systematized form is a product of the Warring States era, a time of interfaction conflict that resulted in the establishment of the Qin Dynasty. Shang Yang was one of the most important advocates of the philosophy. He not only expounded the principles of legalism in works like \"\"The Book of Lord Shang\"\" and \"\"Shen Pu-hai\"\" but also put them into practice as governor of the state of Ch'in.

S. President Abraham Lincoln, and one of the best-known speeches in American history. [ 4] [5] It was delivered by Lincoln during the American Civil War at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on the afternoon of Thursday, November 19, 1863 – four and a half months after the Union armies defeated those of the Confederacy at the Battle of Gettysburg. Lincoln's carefully crafted address, secondary to others' presentations that day, came to be seen as one of the greatest and most influential statements of American national purpose. In just over two minutes Lincoln reiterated the principles of human equality espoused by the Declaration of Independence [6] and proclaimed the Civil War as a struggle for the preservation of the Union sundered by the secession crisis, [7] with \"\"a new birth of freedom \"\" [8] that would bring true equality to all of its citizens. [ 9] Lincoln also redefined the Civil War as a struggle not just for the Union, but also for the principle of human equality. [ 6]Beginning with the now-iconic phrase \"\"Four score and seven years ago\"\"—referring to the signing of the Declaration of Independence eighty-seven years earlier—Lincoln invoked the United States' founding principles as set forth in that document, then reminded his listeners of the peril to those principles posed by the Civil War then in progress. He extolled the sacrifices of those who died at Gettysburg in defense of those principles, and exhorted his listeners to continue the struggle for survival of the nation's representative democracy as a beacon to the world—urging resolve \"\"that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. \"\" Despite the speech's prominent place in the history and popular culture of the United States, the exact wording and location of the speech are disputed."

This policy ensured equal access to the Chinese markets for all nations and preserved the unity of the Chinese Empire. So, Who Presented This Policy? Well, in 1899, U. S. secretary of state Jonh Hay proposed what I have stated in the slide before. After none of the others imperialist governments opposed to the idea, John Hay declared that all major states who were interested in China economically had to agree that the country should have an Open-Door Policy The policy did not end the system of spheres of influence however this meant that other powers would take advantage of China's weakness and they would attempt to dominate China's market for themselves.

John Constable John Constable by Daniel Gardner, 1796Born 11 June 1776 East Bergholt, Suffolk, East Anglia, England Died 31 March 1837 (aged 60) Charlotte Street, London, England Nationality English Known for Landscape painting Notable work Dedham Vale (1802); The Hay Wain (1821)Movement Romanticism John Constable, RA ( / ˈ k ʌ n s t ə b əl, ˈ k ɒ n -/; [1] 11 June 1776 – 31 March 1837) was an English Romantic painter. Born in Suffolk, he is known principally for his landscape paintings of Dedham Vale, the area surrounding his home — now known as \"\"Constable Country\"\" — which he invested with an intensity of affection. \"\" I should paint my own places best\"\", he wrote to his friend John Fisher in 1821, \"\"painting is but another word for feeling\"\". [ 2]His most famous paintings include Wivenhoe Park of 1816, [3] Dedham Vale of 1802 and The Hay Wain of 1821. Although his paintings are now among the most popular and valuable in British art, Constable was never financially successful. He did not become a member of the establishment until he was elected to the Royal Academy at the age of 52. His work was embraced in France, where he sold more works than in his native England and inspired the Barbizon school.

The theme of this painting is very much rural life and the beauty of the landscape which the artist loved so much. The Hay Wain is based on a site near Flatford on the river Stour, in Suffolk, England. The hay wain itself is a type of horse-drawn cart which would have been a common piece of agricultural equipment used during the artist's youth. The cottage in the left of the image was rented by a farmer and stands behind Flatford Mill, owned by Constable's father. Across the meadow in the distance on the right, a group of haymakers can be seen working. The farm workers are hard at work but seem contended and are surrounded by beautiful scenery. All of these aspects illustrate Constable's idyllic view of his home county of Suffolk. Industrial Revolution: However idyllic Constable's view of rural England was throughout his career it's unlikely that there was as much calm and happiness in the countryside during this period. Due to the onset of the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century, many rural people found themselves out of jobs as farming work became more industrialized and machines reduced the man power needed to harvest and maintain crops and animals."

"text": "Abraham Lincoln’s Personality“In temper he was Earnest, yet controlled, frank, yet sufficiently guarded, patient, yet energetic, forgiving, yet just to himself; generous yet firm,” wrote J. T. Duryea of the U. S. Christian Commission, which met frequently with President Abraha Lincoln. “ His conscience was the strongest element of his nature. His affections were tender & warm. His whole nature was simple and sincere – he was pure, and then was himself.” 1The Marquis de Chambrun, a French writer who came to know Mr. Lincoln in the last months of his life, observed: “Such a nature was admirably constituted to direct an heroic struggle on the part of a people proud enough to prefer a guide to a leader, a man commissioned to execute the popular will but, as in his case, strong enough to enforce his own.” 2Much of Mr. Lincoln’s character was framed in early manhood when he moved to New Salem, Illinois to work for shopkeeper Dennis Offut. Lincoln chronicler Edward J. Kempf wrote: “A long, lean, lanky, easy-going, smiling, awkward young stranger, wearing tight, home made pants shrunken far above his shoe tops, with a summer day into the straggling village of some 20 log cabins and 100 souls, on the bank of the Sangamon. He quickly made new friends and found employment until Offut arrived with the merchandise.” 3 Historian James A. Rawley wrote: “The new community, with its merchants, professional men, artisans, and mostly Southern population, framed a new life for Lincoln. He played the roles of merchant, odd jobs man, student of grammar, reader of Shakespeare and Robert Burns, spinner of stories, and soldier.”"

"text": "\"Betty Jenkins, Management Information Systems Director Answered Jan 22, 2018BENCH WARRANTA bench warrant is an arrest warrant issued by a judge or court, most commonly when a defendant fails to appear at a scheduled court hearing. This is also known as a “Failure to Appear,” or “FTA,” warrant. When a bench warrant is issued, it gives law enforcement agencies the authority to detain the defendant and bring him to court to address the issue. To explore this concept, consider the following bench warrant definition. Bench Warrant Check Any individual who is concerned about whether a bench warrant has been issued for his arrest, there are a few options for checking into it. The individual can check with the local court, or the local law enforcement agency. If he is worried he may be arrested if he appears in person to check on a warrant, he may attempt to call with his questions. Many, but not all, courts and some police departments accept phone calls for warrant checks. If phone calls are accepted, the caller can usually obtain only limited information. Alternatively, the individual may obtain the information by doing an online background check, which shows criminal history, as well as public records."

In the United States, jails are generally run by cities or counties, where prisons are run by states or the federal government. Jails hold people who are awaiting trial, or for those serving sentences of less than one year. Most of those sentences will be for misdemeanors, lesser crimes than felonies. Prisons are for people serving sentences for felonies, which are for more than one year. Jails are usually fairly low-level in terms of amenities. It's unlikely there will be any education or rehabilitation programs. They are often crowded, at or exceeding design capacity. Larger jails will have a medical section for prisoners requiring special care for illness or injuries. If the situation requires more care than the jail can manage, the inmate is taken to a hospital under guard, or just released from custody if the charge is relatively minor."

Of the 119 prisoners detained by the CIA, more than one in five were wrongfully imprisoned, while CIA interrogators ran through a host of barbaric tactics including Russian roulette, shoving hummus up a detainee's rectum, and simply leaving targets to freeze to death in an unheated cell. And while all of it was happening, many officials within the agency harbored real doubts about whether the program was working at all. Today, John Kiriakou is in federal prison You've probably seen these details pass across Twitter three or four times by now, but it's worth thinking about what they really mean, and what it means that this program went on for so many years, sucking in hundreds of people who had never imagined themselves as torturers before now. In one note from the report, President Bush is troubled by the sight of a man chained to the ceiling, wearing a diaper, and soiling himself. Surely Bush wasn't the only one to see the picture and recoil. But it didn't matter. The machine kept turning. You start to wonder how it kept going so long. Why didn't someone do something?"

Which turned the lives of his wife and children completely upside down. While he was in prison, he became addicted to heroine which is easily obtained in the prison. He came out worse than he was when he went in. Now he is incarcerated again on a different drug offense. We finally divorced this year in January 2013. We had a great marriage and he was a wonderful man until he went to prison and became hooked on the drugs.

Nick Schou April 17, 2008 Leave a Comment Tweet Was ex-Kiss guitarist Mark St. John a victim of OC's brutal jailhouse justice? A month before roughly two dozen inmates at Theo Lacy Jail viciously killed John Chamberlain in an attack that would earn national headlines and lead to a major scandal that continues to unfold, an inmate named Mark Leslie Norton told deputies he feared for his life. He asked to be moved from one part of the jail to another. Although deputies may not have recognized him, Norton is better known to most of the world by his stage name, Mark St. John; he had briefly been a guitarist for the world-famous rock band Kiss in the mid-'80s until a nasty bout of arthritis forced him into early retirement. Norton, according to published reports, grew up in Garden Grove and had been living with his parents there while earning a modest income giving guitar lessons. He was booked into Theo Lacy on Sept. 14, 2006 to serve a two-week sentence after pleading guilty to possession of drug paraphernalia, resisting arrest and attempted destruction of evidence. For a week, Norton stayed in D Barracks, a medium-security dormitory for nonviolent offenders. But on Sept. 21, according to Norton's inmate file, which the Weekly recently obtained from the sheriff's department, he told deputies he wanted to be moved somewhere else because he “stole crackers out of another inmate's property box” and was “in fear for his safety. ”Deputies moved Norton to F-West Barracks, another medium-security dormitory, where he remained for three days, until being released from jail on Sept. 24."

If you'd like to share an opinion piece of your own, please write Betsy Marston at [email protected]. For many decades, the practice of lighting fires in wildlands to clear brush, improve browse, or to create jobs for fire crews was virtually a prerogative of rural living. For the most part, nobody got hurt and nobody went to jail. In the past decade, however, as a more urban-oriented population has spread into previously wild lands, the toll in lost lives and property from wildfire arson has mounted and tolerance for the practice has turned to outrage. Today, anyone who starts a wildland fire, whether it’s done deliberately or through negligence, faces the possibility of a huge fine, a jail term or even –– in extreme cases –– the death penalty. In Southern California this summer, a jury convicted Rickie Lee Fowler -- whose own lawyer described him as “despicable” -- of five counts of first-degree murder and two counts of arson for setting the 2003 Old Fire in San Bernardino County. The jury next must decide whether to recommend the death penalty. The Fowler case is only the latest example of the trend toward stiffer punishments. In part, the movement is fueled by hotter, bigger and more destructive fires: but the key element is the expansion of the wildland-urban interface, which brings more people into contact with previously wild lands and almost inevitably with fire."

He is hardly dead when the official version is broadcast. In that version, which will be the definitive one, Lee Harvey Oswald alone has killed John Kennedy . The weapon does not coincide with the bullet, nor the bullet with the holes. The accused does not coincide with the accusation: Oswald is an exceptionally bad shot of mediocre physique, but according to the official version, his acts were those of a champion marksman and Olympic sprinter. He has fired an old rifle with impossible speed and his magic bullet, turning and twisting acrobatically to penetrate Kennedy and John Connally, the governor of Texas, remains miraculously intact. Oswald strenuously denies it. But no one knows, no one will ever know what he has to say. Two days later he collapses before the television cameras, the whole world witness to the spectacle, his mouth shut by Jack Ruby, a two-bit gangster and minor trafficker in women and drugs.

"text": "Media Blurred Line Between Espionage and Truth David Carr THE MEDIA EQUATION FEB. 26, 2012Last Wednesday in the White House briefing room, the administration’s press secretary, Jay Carney, opened on a somber note, citing the deaths of Marie Colvin and Anthony Shadid, two reporters who had died “in order to bring truth” while reporting in Syria. Jake Tapper, the White House correspondent for ABC News, pointed out that the administration had lauded brave reporting in distant lands more than once and then asked, “How does that square with the fact that this administration has been so aggressively trying to stop aggressive journalism in the United States by using the Espionage Act to take whistle-blowers to court?”He then suggested that the administration seemed to believe that “the truth should come out abroad; it shouldn’t come out here. ”Fair point. The Obama administration, which promised during its transition to power that it would enhance “whistle-blower laws to protect federal workers,” has been more prone than any administration in history in trying to silence and prosecute federal workers. The Espionage Act, enacted back in 1917 to punish those who gave aid to our enemies, was used three times in all the prior administrations to bring cases against government officials accused of providing classified information to the media. It has been used six times since the current president took office. Setting aside the case of Pfc. Bradley Manning, an Army intelligence analyst who is accused of stealing thousands of secret documents, the majority of the recent prosecutions seem to have everything to do with administrative secrecy and very little to do with national security. In case after case, the Espionage Act has been deployed as a kind of ad hoc Official Secrets Act, which is not a law that has ever found traction in America, a place where the people’s right to know is viewed as superseding the government’s right to hide its business."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search\"\" Enhanced interrogation techniques \"\" or \"\" enhanced interrogation \"\" is a euphemism for the U. S. government 's program of systematic torture of detainees by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), and various components of the U. S. Armed Forces at black sites around the world, including Bagram, Guantanamo Bay, and Abu Ghraib, authorized by officials of the George W. Bush administration. [ 1] Methods used included beating, binding in contorted stress positions, hooding, subjection to deafening noise, sleep disruption, [2] sleep deprivation to the point of hallucination, deprivation of food, drink, and withholding medical care for wounds, as well as waterboarding, walling, sexual humiliation, subjection to extreme heat or extreme cold, confinement in small coffin-like boxes, and repeated slapping. [ 3] [4] [5] Several detainees endured medically unnecessary [6] \"\"rectal rehydration\"\", \"\"rectal fluid resuscitation\"\", and \"\"rectal feeding\"\". [ 7] [8] In addition to brutalizing detainees, there were threats to their families such as threats to harm children, and threats to sexually abuse or to cut the throat of detainees' mothers. [ 9]The number of detainees subjected to these methods has never been authoritatively established, nor how many died as a result of the interrogation regime, though this number is believed to be at least 100. [ 10] The CIA admits to waterboarding three people implicated in the September 11 attacks: Abu Zubaydah, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, and Mohammed al-Qahtani. A Senate Intelligence Committee found photos of a waterboard surrounded by buckets of water at the Salt Pit prison, where the CIA had claimed waterboarding was never used. [ 11] [12] [13] [14] Former guards and inmates at Guantánamo have said that deaths which the US military called suicides at the time, were in fact homicides under torture. [ 15] No murder charges have been brought for these or for acknowledged torture related homicides at Abu Ghraib and at Bagram. [ 16]Debates arose over whether \"\"enhanced interrogation\"\" violated U. S. anti-torture statutes or international laws such as the UN Convention against Torture."

Specifically, it is 18 U. S. C. ch. 37 ( 18 U. S. C. § 792 et seq. ) It was intended to prohibit interference with military operations or recruitment, to prevent insubordination in the military, and to prevent the support of United States enemies during wartime. In 1919, the Supreme Court of the United States unanimously ruled through Schenck v. United States that the act did not violate the freedom of speech of those convicted under its provisions. The constitutionality of the law, its relationship to free speech, and the meaning of its language have been contested in court ever since."

So, I think this will be a good one for the next “Reader’s Choice.” There is also a great book out now by Candice Millard called “Destiny of the Republic” that discusses the events surrounding the assassination — and subsequent poor medical treatment — of President Garfield. If you enjoy this post, you should check it out. Anyone that took American history in high school knows that Charles Guiteau shot President Garfield — if they were history nerds, they’d remember it happened at the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Station, at 6th and B St. NW (B is now Constitution). But, you’re probably interested in his time here in Washington. Where did he sleep? Where did he eat? And who did he interact with? By the end of this post you should have a little better understanding of Charles Guiteau was and learn a little about his time in Washington."

"text": "\"Stolen: How the Mona Lisa Became the World’s Most Famous Painting One hundred years ago, a heist by a worker at the Louvre secured Leonardo’s painting as an art world icon After 28 months, Vincenzo Perugia was arrested for the theft of the Mona Lisa. Shown here is the transfer of the painting from the Italian Ministry of Public Instruction to France. ( Bettmann / Corbis)By James Zugsmithsonian.com June 15, 2011It was a quiet, humid Monday morning in Paris, 21 August 1911. Three men were hurrying out of the Louvre. It was odd, since the museum was closed to visitors on Mondays, and odder still with what one of them had under his jacket. They were Vincenzo Perugia and the brothers Lancelotti, Vincenzo and Michele, young Italian handymen. They had come to the Louvre on Sunday afternoon and secreted themselves overnight in a narrow storeroom near the Salon Carré, a gallery stuffed with Renaissance paintings. In the morning, wearing white workmen’s smocks, they had gone into the Salon Carré. They seized a small painting off the wall. Quickly, they ripped off its glass shadow box and frame and Perugia hid it under his clothes."

"text": "In looking for liberal turncoats, Patriotic Betrayal ignores George Kennan and Cold War realism. T he cover of Karen M. Paget’s Patriotic Betrayal consists entirely of an extraordinary advertorial instructing readers how they should think about the book’s revelations. The text declares that in February 1967, “CIA director Richard Helms had, as he would later recall, ‘one of my darkest days,’ when President Lyndon Johnson told him that the muckraking magazine Ramparts was about to expose one of the Agency’s best-kept secrets: a covert project to enroll American students in the crusade against communism.” Asserting that the Ramparts article revealed only “a small part of the story of the CIA’s two-decades-long effort to ensnare the National Student Association,” the cover then boasts that Paget “tells the rest of the tale, which reads like a John le Carré novel, filled with self-serving rationalizations, layers of duplicity, and bureaucratic double talk.” It also claims that Paget “throws a sharp light on the persistent argument, heard even today, about whether America’s national-security interests can be secured by skullduggery and deception. ”In the interest of full disclosure, I will admit that I winced when I read those words. That’s because I was one of the editors of Ramparts and the principal author of the article exposing the CIA’s covert funding of the NSA, only one part of an elaborate web of anti-Communist citizen groups supported by the spy agency during the first decades of the Cold War. Other recipients of CIA funds were intellectual magazines such as The New Leader and Encounter; several American labor unions; and the Congress for Cultural Freedom, founded in 1950 by a group of public intellectuals that included Arthur Koestler, Sidney Hook, and James Burnham. I don’t dispute the book’s contention that my 9,000-word article didn’t tell the full story of the CIA/NSA relationship. Paget’s 500-page volume certainly provides lots of new and interesting details — as well it should, since the author devoted almost two decades to researching and writing her version of the affair."

Along with Eugene O'Neill and Arthur Miller, he is considered among the three foremost playwrights of 20th-century American drama. [ 1]After years of obscurity, he became suddenly famous with The Glass Menagerie (1944), a play that closely reflected his own unhappy family background. This heralded a string of successes, including A Streetcar Named Desire (1947), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955), and Sweet Bird of Youth (1959). His later work attempted a new style that did not appeal to audiences, and alcohol and drug dependence further inhibited his creative output. His drama A Streetcar Named Desire is often numbered on short lists of the finest American plays of the 20th century alongside Eugene O'Neill 's Long Day's Journey into Night and Arthur Miller 's Death of a Salesman.

( The engraving also includes a plan for the expansion of the palace which was never executed. ) In July 1559, after the accidental death of her husband, Henry II, Queen Catherine de' Medici decided to leave her residence of the Hôtel des Tournelles, at the eastern part of Paris, near the Bastille. Together with her son, the new king of France François II, her other children and the royal court, she moved to the Louvre Palace. Five years later, in 1664, she commissioned the construction of a new palace just beyond the wall of Charles V, not far from the Louvre, from which it would be separated by a neighborhood of private hotels, churches, convents, and the Hospice des Quinze-Vingts near the Porte Saint-Honoré. For that purpose, Catherine had bought land west of Paris, on the other side of the portion of the wall of Charles V situated between the Tour du Bois and the 14th century Porte Saint-Honoré. It was bordered on the south by the Seine, and on the north by the faubourg Saint-Honoré, a road in the countryside continuing the rue Saint-Honoré."

But unlike the Fourth of July in the United States, there are no parades and no traditions, culinary or other, because the holiday only goes back to 1990. It was introduced to mark German Reunification that year and replaced June 17, the holiday that commemorated the East German uprising of 1953. Until the GDR began to visibly crumble in 1989, the fact that I was living in a divided country was totally abstract to me. We had no family in the East. Of course I read in the newspaper about successful or failed escape attempts of East Germans, high-profile dissidents like songwriter Wolf Biermann, and the mysterious East Berlin attorney Wolfgang Vogel, whose name always came up in connection with the exchanges of spies and political prisoners and who appeared to rather be a protagonist from a John le Carré novel than a real person. My closest exposure to East Germany was through the textbook published in Leipzig that my professors at the University of Bonn used for Arabic language studies. Despite its clear Communist coloring, it was viewed as the best Arabic textbook at the time. We students made fun of the vocabulary full of references to the working masses, comrades, fight against imperialism, and sentences like “The delegation took a firm stand on the viewpoint of the GDR.” And we wondered how in the world those things would help us communicate in the Arab world."

"text": "Spies of Warsaw, BBC Four, review BBC Four's Spies of Warsaw, based on Alan Furst's novel and starring David Tennant, is a thrilling yarn, writes Christopher Howse. Shadows and secrets: David Tennant starred in BBC Four’s ‘Spies of Warsaw’ Photo: BBCBy Christopher Howse7:30AM GMT 10 Jan 2013I was glad to find that there was no need to hide behind a cushion at any point during Spies of Warsaw (BBC Four). This yarn of émigrés and rather black-looking blueprints never became too visually brutal, nor was the love interest between David Tennant (as Lt Col Jean-François Mercier, a French spy) and the pleasing Janet Montgomery (as Anna Skarbek, a lawyer with the League of Nations) too embarrassing for intergenerational shared viewing, even when things got steamy on a steam train. No doubt, though, some railway gricer will point out that locomotives with the wheel configuration 4-6-0 never ran between Warsaw and Budapest in the Thirties. The action began in 1937, four years before the birth of Alan Furst, the American author of the book behind the drama. If I kept wondering whether this was really how Warsaw looked in the Thirties it was not for want of things happening. No sooner had we begun to know Ann Eleonora Jørgensen’s Countess (who, in fact, turned out to not be a countess at all) than she had been brutally strangled by Nazi agents. So, after going to the expense of making the equivalent of a cinema blockbuster, the BBC and its co-producers might better have developed the story into an eight-part serial. However, squashing it into two slices of 90 minutes did have the unintended consequence of increasing a sense of reality, by providing an unexplained hinterland. The unexplained world seemed bigger than the scenes we were shown."

All of these epics were concerned with preserving the history or mythology of conflicts between different societies, while providing an accessible narrative that could reinforce the collective memory of a people. Other important influences on the war novel included the tragedies of dramatists such as Euripides, Seneca the Younger, Christopher Marlowe, and Shakespeare. Euripedes' The Trojan Women is a powerfully disturbing play on the theme of war's horrors, apparently critical of Athenian imperialism. [ 1] Shakespeare's Henry V, which focuses on events immediately before and after the Battle of Agincourt (1415) during the Hundred Years' War, provides a model for how the history, tactics, and ethics of war could be combined in an essentially fictional framework."

Knopf and The New Yorker, was a pale, bookish, sensitive, rumpled and vaguely mousy young man. His first father-in-law, a roofing contractor, took a look at him and said, “If I had a son like that, I’d take him out and drown him like a sick kitten. ”How bookish was Mr. Gottlieb? At summer camp, as a child, he arranged to have The New York Times delivered to him daily. His family — they lived on the Upper West Side of Manhattan — read books rather than converse at the dinner table. “ Only later did it occur to me that this was not normal,” he writes in “Avid Reader,” his new memoir, “but a symptom of our particular brand of dysfunction. ”One of the pleasures of “Avid Reader” is watching this apparent wallflower — in a cartoon, he’d be drawn by Roz Chast or Edward Koren — begin to sprout wild hairs. A good deal of fun is recalled in this book: dinner with Bob Dylan, who tried to do the dishes; pajama parties with the novelist Edna O’Brien; raiding the refrigerator with Bill Clinton at 1 a.m.; ice cream fights with the choreographer Twyla Tharp. Mr. Gottlieb emerges as a kind of Zelig of American publishing."

They made the first controlled, sustained flight of a powered, heavier-than-air aircraft on December 17, 1903, four miles south of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. In 1904–05 the brothers developed their flying machine into the first practical fixed-wing aircraft. Although not the first to build experimental aircraft, the Wright brothers were the first to invent aircraft controls that made fixed-wing powered flight possible. The brothers' fundamental breakthrough was their invention of three-axis control, which enabled the pilot to steer the aircraft effectively and to maintain its equilibrium. [ 4] [5] [6] [7] This method became and remains standard on fixed-wing aircraft of all kinds. [ 8] [9] From the beginning of their aeronautical work, the Wright brothers focused on developing a reliable method of pilot control as the key to solving \"\"the flying problem\"\". This approach differed significantly from other experimenters of the time who put more emphasis on developing powerful engines. [ 10] Using a small homebuilt wind tunnel, the Wrights also collected more accurate data than any before, enabling them to design and build wings and propellers that were more efficient than any before.

Lincoln Logs The Imperial Hotel in Tokyo John Wright, the son of the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright, invented the Lincoln Logs in 1918. During a trip to Tokyo with his father, John got the idea of interlocking wooden beams from the design of the Imperial Hotel. By interlocking the beams it would allow the structure more stability and support.– The original logs also came with instructions on how to build “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” and President Lincoln’s log cabin.– By the time the Lincoln Logs became popular, Wright had already sold the rights to the toy.– The original logs were made from real wood, usually redwood.– Unlike popular belief, President Lincoln was not the inspiration for the name. It was actually named after John’s father’s real middle name. Frank Lloyd Wright’s middle name was Lincoln but he changed it to Lloyd to honor his mother’s family when his father left the family.

The last and largest of the four concrete-block houses that Wright built in the Los Angeles area remains arguably the best residential example of Mayan Revival architecture in the country. When The Times' Home section convened a panel of historians, architects and preservationists in 2008 to vote on the region's best houses of all time, the Ennis house ranked ahead of the Modernist Eames house, the John Lautner spaceship-on-a-hill known as Chemosphere and the Arts & Crafts beauty the Gamble house. That the Ennis house garners so much reverence from the architecture community makes its current status all the more remarkable: for sale since June 2009, price reduced from $15 million to $7,495,000. Prospective buyers have shown much interest, according to listing agent Jeffrey Hyland, president of Hilton & Hyland, Beverly Hills, but as of yet, there have been no takers. Tour the Ennis house through photos Landmark Houses Tours of more than 100 homes The house has long been an expensive proposition. Set on nearly an acre in the Los Feliz neighborhood of L. A., the home -- three bedrooms and three and half baths, plus staff quarters that push the listing to 6,000 square feet -- cost $300,000 to build, about $3.8 million today, adjusted for inflation. Wright's client was Charles Ennis, the owner of a men's clothing store in downtown L. A. and an enthusiast of Mayan art and architecture. For each of Wright's houses built with concrete blocks, or textile blocks as they are often called, Wright designed a custom pattern. For the Ennis house, the pattern was a Greek key."

Luigi Brugnatelli's work was rebuffed by the dictator Napoleon Bonaparte, which caused Brugnatelli to suppress any further publication of his work. However, Luigi Brugnatelli did write about electroplating in the Belgian Journal of Physics and Chemistry, \"\"I have lately gilt in a complete manner two large silver medals, by bringing them into communication by means of a steel wire, with a negative pole of a voltaic pile, and keeping them one after the other immersed in ammoniuret of gold newly made and well saturated\"\".

He designed more than 1,000 projects, of which more than 500 works were completed. Through much of his career, Wright promoted the concept of organic architecture. He was a leader of the Prairie School architectural movement and developed the concept of the Usonian home. His work includes original and innovative examples of many different building types, including offices, churches, schools, skyscrapers, hotels, and museums. Frank Lloyd Wright was born in the farming town of Richland Center, Wisconsin, in 1867. His father, William Carey Wright (1825 – 1904), was a locally admired orator, music teacher, occasional lawyer and itinerant minister. His mother was Anna Lloyd Jones (1838 – 1923), a county school teacher. When his mother was expecting him, she declared he would grow up to build beautiful buildings. She did whatever she could to encourage this aspiration."

The novel's protagonist, Howard Roark, is an individualistic young architect who designs modernist buildings and refuses to compromise with an architectural establishment unwilling to accept innovation. Roark embodies what Rand believed to be the ideal man, and his struggle reflects Rand's belief that individualism is superior to collectivism. Roark is opposed by what he calls \"\"second-handers\"\", who value conformity over independence and integrity. These include Roark's former classmate, Peter Keating, who succeeds by following popular styles, but turns to Roark for help with design problems. Ellsworth Toohey, a socialist architecture critic who uses his influence to promote his political and social agenda, tries to destroy Roark's career. Tabloid newspaper publisher Gail Wynand seeks to shape popular opinion; he befriends Roark, then betrays him when public opinion turns in a direction he cannot control. The novel's most controversial character is Roark's lover, Dominique Francon."

He was a writer, an art collector a philosopher as well as a visionary and these all inspired his approach to his craft. He is widely known for four styles of building. He conceived of the Prairie Style which was born out of his belief that we needed fewer, larger rooms which flowed more easily, his antithesis to the rigid Victorian era architecture. From there the Textile Style was born, which led way to the Organic Style and then the Usonian Style. His belief that buildings should be made from the land and benefit the land inspired most of his work. These beliefs, avant garde for his time, are still practiced and revered today.1. “ The architect must be a prophet… a prophet in the true sense of the term… if he can’t see at least ten years ahead don’t call him an architect. ”Frank Lloyd Wright was clearly a man ahead of his time. The design of many of his homes once seemed light-years ahead of their time, and people often had trouble understanding his vision, yet almost all of our modern construction puts to use the ideals he thought to be so important."

Harold C. Bradley House, Madison, WI, by Louis Sullivan and George Grant Elmslie Woodbury County Courthouse, Iowa, by William L. Steele and Purcell and Elmslie (associate architects)Prairie School was a late 19th- and early 20th-century architectural style, most common to the Midwestern United States. The style is usually marked by horizontal lines, flat or hipped roofs with broad overhanging eaves, windows grouped in horizontal bands, integration with the landscape, solid construction, craftsmanship, and discipline in the use of ornament. Horizontal lines were thought to evoke and relate to the native prairie landscape. The term Prairie School was not actually used by these architects to describe themselves (for instance, Marion Mahony used the phrase The Chicago Group ); the term was coined by H. Allen Brooks, one of the first architectural historians to write extensively about these architects and their work. [ 1]The Prairie School developed in sympathy with the ideals and design aesthetics of the Arts and Crafts Movement begun in the late 19th century in England by John Ruskin, William Morris, and others. The Prairie School shared an embrace of handcrafting and craftsman guilds as a reaction against the new assembly line, mass production manufacturing techniques, which they felt created inferior products and dehumanized workers."

What's more, the 'A Beautiful Mind' inspiration and his wife had been scheduled to take a limousine ride home on Saturday but arrived hours early to Newark airport and chose to hail a yellow cab, reports the New York Post. Driver Tarek Girgis, who officials said Sunday isn't expected to face charges, had been an ice cream truck driver just weeks before picking the the couple up. ' The car service said, 'We thought you were getting in five hours later.' They didn't really offer a solution,' recalled Lisa Macbride, the daughter of one of Nash's colleagues.+8John Nash and wife Alicia Nash, pictured in 2012: The pair were killed in a taxi crash in New Jersey on Saturday+8Crash scene: The incident happened on the New Jersey Turnpike on Saturday afternoon at 4.30 p.m. 'I said, 'You could take a taxi' — which now I feel sick about.

"text": "\"Live Science Health How 'Beautiful Mind' Mathematician John Nash's Schizophrenia 'Disappeared'By Rachael Rettner, Senior Writer | June 2, 2015 07:44pm ETMOREJohn Nash, in a 2005 photo. Credit: Prometheus72/Shutterstock.com Mathematician John Nash, who died May 23 in a car accident, was known for his decades-long battle with schizophrenia — a struggle famously depicted in the 2001 Oscar-winning film \"\"A Beautiful Mind.\"\" Nash had apparently recovered from the disease later in life, which he said was done without medication. But how often do people recover from schizophrenia, and how does such a destructive disease disappear? Nash developed symptoms of schizophrenia in the late 1950s, when he was around age 30, after he made groundbreaking contributions to the field of mathematics, including the extension of game theory, or the math of decision making. He began to exhibit bizarre behavior and experience paranoia and delusions, according to The New York Times. Over the next several decades, he was hospitalized several times, and was on and off anti-psychotic medications. But in the 1980s, when Nash was in his 50s, his condition began to improve. In an email to a colleague in the mid-1990s, Nash said, \"\"I emerged from irrational thinking, ultimately, without medicine other than the natural hormonal changes of aging,\"\" according to The New York Times. Nash and his wife Alicia died, at ages 86 and 82, respectively, in a crash on the New Jersey Turnpike while en route home from a trip on which Nash had received a prestigious award for his work."

After his father died, his mother married Vernon Lynch, a foreman at a Breyer's Ice Cream plant. His siblings are Charlie Murphy and Vernon Lynch, Jr. Eddie had aspirations of being in show business since he was a child. A bright kid growing up in the streets of New York, Murphy spent a great deal of time on impressions and comedy stand-up routines rather than academics. His sense of humor and wit made him a stand out amongst his classmates at Roosevelt Junior-Senior High School. By the time he was fifteen, Murphy worked as a stand-up comic on the lower part of New York, wooing audiences with his dead-on impressions of celebrities and outlooks on life. In the early 1980s, at the age of 19, Murphy was offered a contract for the Not-Ready-For-Prime-Time Players of Saturday Night Live (1975), where Murphy exercised his comedic abilities in impersonating African American figures and originating some of the show's most memorable characters: Velvet Jones, Mr. Robinson, and a disgruntled and angry Gumby. Murphy made his feature film debut in 48 Hrs. ( 1982), alongside Nick Nolte. The two's comedic and antagonistic chemistry, alongside Murphy's believable performance as a streetwise convict aiding a bitter, aging cop, won over critics and audiences."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The Passionate Shepherd to His Love, known for its first line \"\"Come live with me and be my love\"\", is a poem written by the English poet Christopher Marlowe and published in 1599 (six years after the poet's death). In addition to being one of the best-known love poems in the English language, it is considered one of the earliest examples of the pastoral style of British poetry in the late Renaissance period. It is composed in iambic tetrameter (four feet of unstressed/stressed syllables), with seven (sometimes six, depending on the version) stanzas each composed of two rhyming couplets. It is often used for scholastic purposes for its regular meter and rhythm. The poem was the subject of a well-known \"\"reply\"\" by Walter Raleigh, called \"\" The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd \"\". The interplay between the two poems reflects the relationship that Marlowe had with Raleigh. Marlowe was young, his poetry romantic and rhythmic, and in the Passionate Shepherd he idealises the love object (the Nymph). Raleigh was an old courtier and an accomplished poet himself. His attitude is more jaded, and in writing \"\"The Nymph's Reply,\"\" it is clear that he is rebuking Marlowe for being naive and juvenile in both his writing style and the Shepherd's thoughts about love. Subsequent responses to Marlowe have come from John Donne, [1] C. Day Lewis, William Carlos Williams, [2] Ogden Nash, [3]W. D. Snodgrass, [4] Douglas Crase and Greg Delanty, [5] and Robert Herrick."

As a group, the Hollies also got their start the same place the Beatles did—Liverpool's Cavern Club, where childhood friends Graham Nash and Allan Clarke had assembled a band of fellow Lancashires. They were also signed to Parlophone in the UK, but unfortunately, also as with many British Invasion bands, their own individual style was subsumed by Merseybeat covers of American R&B hits (their versions of \"\"Stay\"\" and \"\"Just One Look\"\" scored in England). Success Nash, Clarke, and guitarist Tony Hicks had already begun to perfect their signature vocal blend and their songwriting, reaching the British Top Ten with the originals \"\"We're Through,\"\" \"\"I'm Alive\"\" and \"\"I Can't Let Go\"\" (the latter two zooming straight to #1). However, it was songwriter Graham Gouldman (later of 10cc) who got them onto the American charts, first with \"\"Look Through Any Window,\"\" then the Top Ten \"\"Bus Stop.\"\" This gained the band greater creative control, resulting in 1967's all original album For Certain Because which finally got them a US hit of their own in \"\"Stop!

Ironically, the band soon found their biggest hits from outside songwriters: the power ballads \"\"The Air That I Breathe\"\" and \"\"He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother,\"\" and also the CCR-styled \"\"Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress),\"\" co-written by Clarke and originally intended for a solo project."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search First page of The first Part of Henry the Sixt from the First Folio (1623). Henry VI, Part 1, often referred to as 1 Henry VI, is a history play by William Shakespeare, possibly in collaboration with Christopher Marlowe and Thomas Nashe, believed to have been written in 1591 and set during the lifetime of King Henry VI of England. Whereas Henry VI, Part 2 deals with the King's inability to quell the bickering of his nobles, and the inevitability of armed conflict, and Henry VI, Part 3 deals with the horrors of that conflict, Henry VI, Part 1 deals with the loss of England's French territories and the political machinations leading up to the Wars of the Roses, as the English political system is torn apart by personal squabbles and petty jealousy. Although the Henry VI trilogy may not have been written in chronological order, the three plays are often grouped together with Richard III to form a tetralogy covering the entire Wars of the Roses saga, from the death of Henry V in 1422 to the rise to power of Henry VII in 1485. It was the success of this sequence of plays that firmly established Shakespeare's reputation as a playwright. Some regard Henry VI, Part 1 as the weakest of Shakespeare's plays, [1] and along with Titus Andronicus, it is generally considered one of the strongest candidates for evidence that Shakespeare collaborated with other dramatists early in his career.

Buckingham Palace ( UK: / ˈ b ʌ k ɪ ŋ ə m ˈ p æ l ɪ s / [1] [2]) is the London residence and administrative headquarters of the monarch of the United Kingdom.

Originally known as Buckingham House, the building at the core of today's palace was a large townhouse built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703 on a site that had been in private ownership for at least 150 years. It was acquired by King George III in 1761 [4] as a private residence for Queen Charlotte and became known as The Queen's House. During the 19th century it was enlarged, principally by architects John Nash and Edward Blore, who constructed three wings around a central courtyard. Buckingham Palace became the London residence of the British monarch on the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837. The last major structural additions were made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the East front, which contains the well-known balcony on which the royal family traditionally congregates to greet crowds."

The game of chicken, also known as the hawk–dove game or snowdrift game, [1] is a model of conflict for two players in game theory. The principle of the game is that while it is to both players’ benefit if one player yields, the other player's optimal choice depends on what his opponent is doing: if his opponent yields, the player should not, but if the opponent fails to yield, the player should. The name \"\"chicken\"\" has its origins in a game in which two drivers drive towards each other on a collision course: one must swerve, or both may die in the crash, but if one driver swerves and the other does not, the one who swerved will be called a \"\" chicken \"\", meaning a coward; this terminology is most prevalent in political science and economics. The name \"\"hawk–dove\"\" refers to a situation in which there is a competition for a shared resource and the contestants can choose either conciliation or conflict; this terminology is most commonly used in biology and evolutionary game theory. From a game-theoretic point of view, \"\"chicken\"\" and \"\"hawk–dove\"\" are identical; the different names stem from parallel development of the basic principles in different research areas. [ 2] The game has also been used to describe the mutual assured destruction of nuclear warfare, especially the sort of brinkmanship involved in the Cuban Missile Crisis.

"title": "https://www.quora.com/How-did-John-Nash-overcome-schizophrenia\nHow did John Nash overcome schizophrenia?",
"text": "On top of his mental fortitude, John Nash had several factors working in favor of his prognosis. The first was that his symptoms set in at a relatively late age - his first hospitalization was in 1959, at the age of 30 (the mean age of onset of schizophrenia in males is around 19). A later onset of illness is a good prognostic indicator in psychotic disorders, perhaps because the brain has had more time to develop. Second, Professor Nash experienced primarily positive symptoms - that is, delusions and hallucinations. He was a quintessential example of the “paranoid” subtype of schizophrenia (note: these subtypes of schizophrenia are no longer used clinically). Contrary to popular belief, the most debilitating aspects of schizophrenia are actually the negative and cognitive symptoms (e.g. anhedonia, social withdrawal, limited affect, memory problems, disorganized speech, etc. ), as these are more difficult to treat with medication. The low levels of negative and cognitive symptoms in Nash’s illness meant that his intellect and social aptitude (the latter lacking to begin with if we’re to believe A Beautiful Mind) remained relatively intact after his episodes, facilitating his recovery. On top of these factors, Professor Nash was married and gainfully employed at the onset of his illness, perhaps providing a sort of safety net that those diagnosed at a younger age lack. Overall, schizophrenia is an illness with a very heterogeneous set of symptoms and prognoses (many would argue it’s not one illness at all)."

This is on paranoid schizophrenia and uses the case of John Nash to illustrate certain aspects of the disorder. Hope you enjoy, and as always, please do not steal or plagiarize Thank you!Overcoming Paranoid Schizophrenia: The Inspiring Case of John Forbes Nash, Jr. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR), schizophrenia occurs somewhere between 0.5% and 1.5% of the population (American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2000). John Forbes Nash, Jr. was one of these individuals diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 1959 as discussed by Sylvia Nasar (2001). Nasar wrote a very detailed biography of Nash which will be utilized for the background information and symptoms discussed in this paper. Nash was at the height of his disorder in the late 1950s and during the entire 1960s decade when he was in his thirties (Capps, 2004a). Presenting Problems The height of his symptoms appears to have started in 1958 when he showed up to a New Year’s Eve party dressed as a baby, almost entirely naked besides a diaper and sash across his chest. He carried a milk bottle and spent much of his evening sitting on his wife’s lap (Nasar, 2001). Shortly after this he began to tell others in the mathematics department at MIT that he was receiving messages from powers in outer space or from foreign governments via The New York Times, and that the encrypted messages were only meant for him and could not be decoded by anyone else. Nash began writing letters to various ambassadors and foreign embassies across the globe."

The bloodiest single instance of racial carnage in the Reconstruction era, the Colfax massacre was an example of the lengths to which some opponents of Reconstruction would go to regain their accustomed authority. Among blacks, the incident was long remembered as proof that in any large confrontation, they stood at a fatal disadvantage. [ 1]In the wake of the contested 1872 election for governor of Louisiana and local offices, a group of white Democrats armed with rifles and a small cannon, overpowered Republican freedmen and state militia (also black) occupying the Grant Parish courthouse in Colfax. [ 1] [2] Most of the freedmen were killed after they surrendered; nearly 50 were killed later that night after being held as prisoners for several hours. Estimates of the number of dead have varied, ranging from 62 to 153; three whites died but the number of black victims was difficult to determine because bodies had been thrown into the river or removed for burial. There were rumors of mass graves at the site. Historian Eric Foner described the massacre as the worst instance of racial violence during Reconstruction. [ 1] In Louisiana, it had the highest fatalities of any of the numerous violent events following the disputed gubernatorial contest in 1872 between Republicans and Democrats."

"text": "Solicitation The term solicitation refers to a request for something, often money. Many people complain that their mailbox is full of solicitations from companies trying to sell them something, or charities asking for monetary donations. The term also applies to the act of appearing at people’s homes or businesses, usually uninvited, in an attempt to sell a product or service. In a criminal sense, solicitation refers to the offering of money or other benefit to persuade another to do something illegal. To explore this concept, consider the following solicitation definition. Definition of Solicitation Pronouncedsuh-lis-i- tay -shuhn Noun The act of seeking something by persuasion or entreaty A persistent petition or request The act of enticing another to commit a criminal offense or illegal act The act of accosting someone for something in exchange for payment Origin1485-1495 Middle English sollicitātiōn What is Solicitation In civil law, solicitation is the act of requesting, appealing to, or seeking funds or other thing of value. A solicitation, or request, can be made in writing, in person, or by electronic methods. Solicitation is commonly done to raise money for charitable causes, though it is also done for personal profit. The laws of each state vary in regard to solicitation, and legitimate solicitation for charitable purposes is different than criminal solicitation. Neither individuals nor businesses put up with annoying or time-consuming solicitation."

Thomas Howell Highest Rated: 100% DCU: Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (2013)Lowest Rated: 8% Gods and Generals (2003)Birthday: Dec 7, 1966Birthplace: Los Angeles, Ca American actor C. Thomas Howell (the \"\"C\"\" is for Christopher) began his acting career at the age of four, when he was a regular on the TV series Little People; he went on to appear on two other series: Two Marriages and Into the Homeland. This led to a big break when he was cast at the age of 16 in a secondary role in Steven Spielberg's E. T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982), one of the most successful films of all time. Following that, Francis Ford Coppola gave him the lead (in part due to Howell's \"\"pretty-boy\"\" good looks) in The Outsiders (1983), which has led to a consistent film career. However, most of his movies (with the exception of The Hitcher, 1986, in which he is stalked by a killer) have fared badly at the box office. Besides being an actor, Howell is also a former junior rodeo circuit champion. He is married to actress Rae Dawn Chong, with whom he co-starred in Soul Man (1986). The two divorced in 1990, but Howell remarried Sylvie Anderson in 1992. Howell would continue to appear in several projects a year, playing such notable roles as Lt. Thomas D. Chamberlain in 1993's Gettysburg, and the title role in 1995's Baby Face Nelson. In 1995, he tried his hand at directing, helming the drama Hourglass."

"text": "U. S. John Rawls, Theorist on Justice, Is Dead at 82By DOUGLAS MARTIN NOV. 26, 2002Correction Appended John Rawls, the American political theorist whose work gave new meaning and resonance to the concepts of justice and liberalism, died on Sunday at his home in Lexington, Mass. He was 82. The cause was heart failure, his wife, Margaret, said. She said he had been incapacitated in varying degrees since suffering a stroke in 1995. The publication of his book ''A Theory of Justice'' in 1971 was perceived as a watershed moment in modern philosophy and came at a time of furious national debate over the Vietnam War and the fight for racial equality. Not only did it veer from the main current of philosophical thought, which was then logic and linguistic analysis, it also stimulated a revival of attention to moral philosophy. Dr. Rawls made a sophisticated argument for a new concept of justice, based on simple fairness. Before Dr. Rawls, the concept of utilitarianism, meaning that a society ought to work for the greatest good of the greatest number of people, held sway as the standard for social justice. He wrote that this approach could ride roughshod over the rights of minorities. Moreover, the liberty of an individual is of only secondary importance compared with the majority's interests."

"text": "\"legal theory: philosophy Consequentialism/Non-Consequentialism To understand the current situation in normative legal scholarship regarding its use of philosophical moral theories, you have to understand what is philosophically controversial about the moral theory of the hard-nosed claim. For this, we require a bit of introductory moral philosophy. Someone who does an act is an agent of that act. We might think of any act as positioned between the agent and a set of results. Through the act, the agent produces good and bad outcomes -- benefits and harms -- for various persons, including the agent and anyone else affected. Moral appraisal of an act can (so to speak) look \"\"forward\"\" from the act to its consequential impacts on various people's interests, finding the act to be right if those consequences are favorable on the whole, but wrong if they are found unfavorable on the whole. Or moral appraisal can look \"\"back\"\" from the act to the agent, construing the act as a reflection or expression of something in or about the agent -- the state of the agent's will or motives, say, or the agent's conception of other persons and the treatment appropriate to them as such. Then the act will be found good -- a moment of flourishing or success for the person who does it -- if it reflects the right motives or conceptions. ( That does not not mean that the consequences don't matter. An act's expected consequences for other people could have a lot to do with whether it does reflect the right motives or conceptions. )"

"text": "\"Slavery, War and Nancy Row Nancy Estes Row (Courtesy of Ellen Apperson Brown)Nancy Estes was born on Greenfield plantation on October 13, 1798 and lived there virtually her entire life. She was one of six sisters and four brothers. These children grew up in relative affluence and the Estes family were numbered among Spotsylvania County's gentry. During his lifetime Richard Estes, Nancy's father, owned a farm that then consisted of 748 acres and in any given year was worked by as many as two dozen slaves. The Estes children would have been accustomed to the presence of black slaves from birth. Field hands would have spent six days a week, from sunrise to sunset, working in tobacco, wheat, corn, clover and so on. Those with special skills would be found in the blacksmith shop, the carpenter shop, the shoe shop or the weaving house. The house servants saw to the needs of the family--cooking, cleaning, caring for their clothes and the endless chores performed in a day before modern conveniences. Family tradition has it that the Esteses were a stern, dignified people and one look at my great great grandmother's photograph above certainly tends to confirm that. The house servants were supposedly imbued with the same sense of dignity and felt empowered to reprove their young masters and mistresses when they might stray from the straight and narrow."

"text": "The Gaston Family History The Gastons were Huguenots in Catholic France. The name Gaston is an Old French grammatical case of a Germanic personal name, probably from “gasti” meaning visitor or guest. The name is also found in England and Ireland, established by the immigration of the Huguenots to escape religious persecution. Some Gaston lines of descent exhibit a hereditary overlap of the two upper front teeth. Jean Gaston (1600 - unknown) was born in Foix, France. By 1640 he had moved to Melrose, Scotland where he married Agnes ( - after 1650). They had three sons: William (1642), John (1645), and Alexander (1648). The family moved to County Antrim, Ireland, between 1662 and 1668 during the persecution of Protestants in Scotland. Son John Gaston married Unknown and had six children: William (1680), Hugh (1687), Mary (1695), Joseph (1700), John (1703) and Alexander (1714). John was listed on the hearth money rates (tax rolls) in Magheragall, County Antrim; a few years later he moved to Carenleigh, Cloughwater."

Instead of becoming one of America's most distinguished political thinkers, he could have been a baseball player. Thin, quick and gangly, he would have made a perfect third baseman, a position requiring lightning reflexes and no time to think. In the line he chose, however—close argument—Mr Rawls was a slow mover. He noted queries in pencil, responded to every objection and often begged for time with, “I'll have to think about that.” Many philosophers treat their theories as extensions of themselves; his seemed more like a common enterprise. He was modest, claiming that he took up philosophy because he was not clever enough for music or mathematics. Others at his level were quicker. Few were as thorough. The germ of “A Theory of Justice”, the book that to his surprise made him famous, began to circulate in draft soon after he reached Harvard from Princeton and MIT in 1962."

In The Law of Peoples, he attempts a parallel feat for global society. He tries to spell out a Law of Peoples that both liberal and non-liberal peoples can agree upon to govern their international relations. This involves steering a judicious mid-course between liberalism’s imperialist and isolationist tendencies… I should say straight away that this is the most engaging and accessible book Rawls has written. Although some of the daunting conceptual apparatus from Political Liberalism appears from time to time, for the most part Rawls lays out his argument in a straightforward way, and refers extensively to historical and contemporary episodes to illustrate it. ” — David Miller, The Times Literary Supplement“ Now, in an effort to turn realpolitik on its big, bald head, Rawls in The Law of Peoples proposes to extend his historicist, pragmatic notions of justice to the larger world of ‘peoples’—the term he prefers to ‘nations.’ He lays out a series of general principles—among them, that peoples are free and independent, should honor human rights, and should observe a duty of nonintervention—that can and should be accepted as a standard for regulating their behavior toward one another. Without the slightest hint of millenarian fever, he goes so far as to assert that we stand on the brink of a ‘realistic utopia’… The Law of Peoples seems likely to reframe the debate about what is possible in the international realm. In contrast to the chastened, inward gaze of most 20th-century thought, Rawls’s book is one of those rare works of philosophy that directs its energies outward."

"text": "\"News Maryland Baltimore City Citing 'safety and security,' Pugh has Baltimore Confederate monuments taken down CAPTIONCAPTIONColin Campbell and Luke Broadwater Contact Reporters The Baltimore Sun A year and a half after a city panel recommended that four Confederate-linked monuments be removed or altered, Mayor Catherine Pugh decided Tuesday to take them all down — and then watched as crews worked into early Wednesday to tear them from their pedestals. “We moved quickly and quietly,” Pugh said. “ There was enough grandstanding, enough speeches being made. Get it done. ”Pugh said crews removed the monuments unannounced and under cover of darkness between 11:30 p.m. Tuesday and 5:30 a.m. Wednesday in the hope of avoiding the potential for a violent conflict similar to the one Saturday in Charlottesville, Va. A rally by Neo-Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacists in that college town, ostensibly to protest plans to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, turned deadly: A counter-protester was killed when a Neo-Nazi sympathizer allegedly drove his car into a crowd, and two police officers monitoring the scene died when their helicopter crashed. Pugh said she contacted contractors and on Tuesday hired Whiting-Turner, which used heavy machinery to do the job. A group of protesters had pledged to tear down a monument to Lee and fellow Confederate Gen. Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson at Wyman Park Dell near the Johns Hopkins University themselves on Wednesday if the city did not. “They needed to come down,” Pugh said. “ My concern is for the safety and security of our people. ”Pugh declined to say how much it cost to remove the statues, or where they had been taken."

Marshall at Sutter's Mill in Coloma, California. [ 1] The news of gold brought some 300,000 people to California from the rest of the United States and abroad. [ 2] The sudden influx of immigration and gold into the money supply reinvigorated the American economy, and California became one of the few American states to go directly to statehood without first being a territory, in the Compromise of 1850. The Gold Rush had severe effects on Native Californians and resulted in a precipitous population decline from disease, genocide and starvation. By the time it ended, California had gone from a thinly populated ex-Mexican territory, to the home state of the first presidential nominee for the new Republican Party, in 1856. The effects of the Gold Rush were substantial. Whole indigenous societies were attacked and pushed off their lands by the gold-seekers, called \"\"forty-niners\"\" (referring to 1849). The first to hear confirmed information of the gold rush were the people in Oregon, the Sandwich Islands ( Hawaii ), and Latin America, and they were the first to start flocking to the state in late 1848. Of the 300,000 people who came to America during the Gold Rush, approximately half arrived by sea and half came overland on the California Trail and the Gila River trail; forty-niners often faced substantial hardships on the trip."

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.

John Stuart Mill is one liberal theorist who tackled the issue, but his arguments about the matter are often misconstrued. Much of the debate about Mill’s feminism turns on the role of the state in effecting moral and political change in society. Mill’s critics focus on his minimal legal prescriptions, believing them to be insufficient for achieving justice and equality in any meaningful sense. His supporters point to how much he expected the rigidity of gender roles to weaken for the better, which, in their view, suggests Mill envisioned a large role for the state in bringing about this change. Both views overlook a central tenet in Mill’s thought, which is that such shifts in values would come about only when the conditions for progress were in place. Although the state has an important role in creating the requisite conditions, it could not itself impose moral progress on its citizens. Progress is a political notion for Mill, but he did not narrowly conceive of politics as merely the business of the state."

"text": "The Social Contract Theory in a Global Context Jason Neidleman, Oct 9 2012, 20954 views The social contract was introduced by early modern thinkers—Hugo Grotius, Thomas Hobbes, Samuel Pufendorf, and John Locke the most well-known among them—as an account of two things: the historical origins of sovereign power and the moral origins of the principles that make sovereign power just and/or legitimate. It is often associated with the liberal tradition in political theory, because it presupposes the fundamental freedom and equality of all those entering into a political arrangement and the associated rights that follow from the principles of basic freedom and equality. From that starting point, often conceptualized via the metaphor of a “state of nature”, social contract theory develops an account of political legitimacy, grounded in the idea that naturally free and equal human beings have no right to exercise power over one another, except in accordance with the principle of mutual consent. Promotional Content The social contract captures a consensus, sometimes built on explicit consent, sometimes on tacit consent, and sometimes it operates as a hypothetical account of what associates ought to consent to if they are reasoning well. Jean-Jacques Rousseau captured the hypothetical account of consensus with his idea of the “general will” (where associates reach consensus by privileging their collective interest over their particular interest) and the “will of all” (where the particular interests associates are aggregated without regard for the collective interest). Much more recently, John Rawls continued building on Rousseau’s argument by making an analogous argument through what he calls the “veil of ignorance” (behind which associates derive principles of justice without any knowledge the social, political, or economic status they may hold in the society they are envisioning). For both Rousseau and Rawls, these concepts are intended not as empirical accounts of how human beings reason but as normative accounts of how they ought to reason. In his adaptation of social contract theory to the international contest, Rousseau wrote, “Doubtless, this is not to say that the Sovereigns will adopt this Plan; (Who can answer for anyone else’s reason?) but only that they would adopt it if they consulted their true interests” [1] Likewise, in his account of the domestic social contract, Rousseau concedes that citizens may subvert the general will in favor of their particular will: “the general will is always right…. But it does not follow that the people’s deliberations always have the same rectitude.” ["

But the fact that the federal government would enact a sedition law was a blow to freedom of the press. Partisan politics contributed to the creation of the Alien and Sedition Acts. However, American perceptions and worries about European affairs, particularly realistic fears of a possible war with France, also contributed to their enactment. American attempts to maintain neutrality pleased no one at home or abroad. The Naturalization and Alien Acts, which increased residency requirements for citizenship and gave extraordinary powers over aliens to the president, passed into oblivion unused. However, there were several prosecutions under the Sedition Act. The act's most pertinent provision allowed prosecutions against persons publishing \"\"any false, scandalous and malicious writing\"\" that brought the federal government, the Congress, or the president into disrepute. Under common law, liberty of the press generally meant no prior restraint on publications."

"text": "Last Updated: Aug 06, 2014 Tweet House prices continue to rise in Ghana Residential property prices are surging to an all-time high, mainly buoyed by the influx of non-resident Ghanaians and foreign homebuyers, according to local real estate experts. In Accra, the country’s capital, the average house price was GHS315,000 (US$86,957) in mid-2013, about 12% higher than in the rest of Ghana, based on a collection of house prices listed on Tonaton.com . In recent years Ghana has seen a steady stream of other European and American passport holders of African descent arriving at Kotoka International airport, responding to the resource boom and a manufacturing boom. They collect their possessions from shipping containers at Tema port and search for homes in Accra's popular residential areas. They are coming for what seem like the limitless opportunities in what has often been seen as one of Africa's best-run countries. Mercedes and Lexus abound, with designer label clad passengers. The district around the embassies and consulates is awash with the totems of success - giant satellite dishes, gated driveways that stretch into the distance. There are luxury housing estates that would not be incongruous if situated in Beverly Hills. The social elites and expatriates can find all their home comforts and Western goods at prices far in excess of the average Ghanaian's pocket. Supermarkets and restaurants cater to their every need in air-conditioned comfort."

Yet the concept of social justice is a recent addition to our political vocabulary, and comparatively little is known about its introduction into political debate or its early theoretical trajectory. Some important research has begun to address this issue, adding a valuable historical perspective to present- day controversies about the concept. This article uses this literature to examine two questions. First, how does the modern idea of social justice differ from previous conceptualisations of justice? Second, why and when did social justice first emerge into political discourse? The theory of distributive justice – how a society or group should allo- cate its scarce resources or product among individuals with compet- ing needs or claims – goes back at least two millennia. Aristotle and Plato wrote on the question, and the Talmud recommends solutions to the distribution of an estate among the deceased’s creditors (Roemer, 1996, p. 1, quoted in Fleischacker, 2004, p. 1). In this quote John Roemer exemplifies a widespread perception that present- day theories of distributive justice are the latest in a long line of profound philosophical discussions about the justice of major social institutions.1 Accord- ing to this analysis, political philosophers from Plato to Rawls have been engaged in a great debate that has raged down the centuries, arguing about the seemingly perennial question: what makes a society just? In this vein Brian Barry opened his Treatise on Social Justice with the announcement that he was addressing ‘the question that Plato asked in the Republic two and a half thousand years ago: What is justice?’"

"text": "Archives | 1989Exxon's Public-Relations Problem By JOHN HOLUSHAView page in Times Machine, Page 00001 The New York Times Archives The Exxon Corporation's reputation was bound to suffer after the Exxon Valdez ran aground off Alaska and dumped 250,000 barrels of oil into Prince William Sound. But experts in public relations say that Exxon seriously worsened the damage to its public standing by failing to seize control of developments after the spill and establish itself as a company concerned about the problems it had caused. Over the last decade, business has painfully developed some clear rules of thumb on ''crisis management,'' or how companies should handle a sudden, unexpected episode like the tainting of Tylenol capsules made by Johnson & Johnson or the rupture of an Ashland Oil storage tank that spilled oil into the Monongahela River near Pittsburgh. A company must not only deal with the emergency but also do so with the entire nation, if not the entire world, looking on. Some Cardinal Rules Exxon violated some cardinal rules of crisis management, practitioners of this new specialty say. They predict that the Exxon Valdez episode will become a textbook example of what not to do when an unexpected crisis thrusts a company into the limelight. To be sure, Exxon's biggest problem remains that the tanker ran aground, and that efforts to stem the flow of oil into the sea and then contain the spread of the spill were very slow. Beyond that are accusations that the tanker's captain might have been drinking before the accident. But how Exxon responded afterward has heightened the criticism of the company, the nation's third largest by sales, behind only General Motors and Ford. Many people predict that the entire oil industry will pay the price in the dashing of any hope of winning Government permission to explore for oil reserves in the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve."

"text": "A cruel, silly but not entirely inaccurate way of defining A Theory of Justice, the central work in the philosophy of John Rawls (1921-2002), is to call it the greatest book nobody has ever read. Since it was first published in 1971 the book has had an enormous influence throughout the West and in most of the East that aspires to democracy, but it is hard even to quote from, let alone summarise. Most students of modern history know that Rawls invented the Difference Principle but few of them would find it easy to explain. With his emphasis on fair distribution through state initiatives, Rawls’s initial appeal is mainly to the left, but left-wing thinkers usually do a bad job of summing him up because they find his acceptance of capitalism reactionary and his tolerance of social discrepancies unpalatable. ( One way of encapsulating the Difference Principle, indeed, would be to say that any discrepancy is tolerable unless it brings disadvantage to the worst off.) Trying to get an explication of Rawls into a short book, his commentators sometimes manage to be even more difficult than their subject: Thomas Pogge’s John Rawls is an example. But on an even shorter scale, and much more approachable, there is an excellent article emanating from further to the right. In The American Conservative for July 28, 2008, David Gordon published “Going off the Rawls” (the awful title was no doubt the brainwave of the editor) which does an admirably clean job of laying out Rawls’s arguments in a clear linear fashion which their inventor never quite managed to attain. A convinced small-government Republican, Gordon is much more of an adversary to Rawls than a fan, but he pays Rawls’s dignity the respect which is its due. Gordon’s article, which can be reached from here, is a doorway into a building in which readers might well subsequently become lost, but they should know that it is there."

"text": "Home » Drummers Buddy Rich Biography Name: Buddy Rich Drums: Slingerland Born: September 30, 1917 Cymbals: Zildjian Origin: Brooklyn, New York Sticks: Vic Firth Official Website, Official Facebook Who Is Buddy Rich? In every line of work you have icons, genius that represent the very best the world has to offer. Albert Einstein on physics, Mozart on classical music, Michael Jordan on basketball, Pelé on football; they all shined brighter than most of their peers, innovating and elevating their respective areas of expertise to a whole new level. When it comes to the art of drum set playing, Buddy Rich is THE icon. Bernard “Buddy” Rich was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1917, to a vaudevillian family comprised of his parents Robert Rich and Bess Skolnik Rich, and his two older sisters Marjorie Rich (1910) and Jo Rich (1914). Robert had been a performer since around 1902, when he was a 15 years old young man. In his late teenage years, Robert formed a duo with singer Sam Wilson, where he worked as a tap dancer and comedian. Robert Rich met Bess Skolnik in 1906. Bess was a very good singer, and thus was included in the Rich and Wilson routine in 1908, after marrying Robert. Bess wasn’t the only one to be included in the act."

Our ranking includes some hosts who are entirely fictional, others who’ve expanded the job’s original boundaries through podcasting and satellite radio, and those who turned daytime TV into must-see entertainment. It does not, however, include John Mc Enroe, Magic Johnson, or Tony Danza; make no mistake, that was a conscious decision.32.

He was 79. The cause was the effects of emphysema, family members said. Mr. Carson took over the \"\"Tonight\"\" show from Jack Paar on Oct. 1, 1962, and, preferring to retire at the top of his game, voluntarily surrendered it to Jay Leno on May 22, 1992. During those three decades, he became the biggest, most popular star American television has known. Virtually every American with a television set saw and heard a Carson monologue at some point in those years. At his height, between 10 million and 15 million Americans slept better weeknights because of him. Mr. Carson was often called \"\"the king of late night,\"\" and he wielded an almost regal power. Beyond his enormous impact on popular culture, Mr. Carson more than any other individual shifted the nexus of power in television from New York to Los Angeles, with his decision in 1972 to move his show from its base in Rockefeller Center in New York to NBC's West Coast studios in Burbank, Calif. That same move was critical in the changeover of much of television from live to taped performances."

The former teen idol had always been in awe of the uber-cool Sinatra, and when Anka got to Vegas in 1960, Ol’ Blue Eyes still ruled the Rat Pack and the town. But Anka was around for the ugly years, too, when Sinatra’s star was fading and he was filled with impotent rage, once ordering a hit on a casino manager. It was Anka who brought Sinatra back, writing what became the icon’s signature ballad, “My Way.” Its success relaunched Sinatra’s fabled career in 1969. In the beginning, it was glorious. “From the first time I heard about the Rat Pack, I wanted to be around these guys and amazingly, they took me in,” Anka writes.

It doesn’t resonate as strongly as a Beatles song, but it resonates. In an episode of Seinfeld, Kramer absent-mindedly sings the theme on the phone after he's put on hold. It might have been scripted, but it could have just been a bit of improv by Michael Richards, an actor old enough to remember when the show starring Nick Adams originally aired. It helps that the theme was sung by Johnny Cash, a bonafide music legend whose death in 2002 was marked with all the hoopla one expects post-Elvis. The Rebel 's star died in February 1968 at age 36, and though his passing was not a media event, it was front page news, certainly in Cleveland, Ohio. The Plain Dealer ran the headline, “Actor Nick Adams Found Dead,” near the bottom of its front page. A few days later, The Cleveland Press ’ \"\"Showtime,\"\" an entertainment tabloid included in the Friday edition, featured a eulogy by a showbiz columnist titled “Then His Star Began to Fade,” detailing Adams’ struggle to achieve stardom in Hollywood and of how he fell short of realizing his ambition while still coming closer than most to grabbing the brass ring."

"text": "Waylon Jennings: Righteous Outlaw Until the End (2002)by NCD Staff | June 26, 2014Written by Chris Neal, originally published in the March 19, 2002 issue of Country Weekly magazine. The cold is unbearable in Clear Lake, Iowa. Twenty-one-year-old Waylon Jennings, playing bass on tour for Buddy Holly, has just given up his prized seat on a chartered plane to J. P. “Big Bopper” Richardson. He will travel by bus instead. “I hope your damn bus freezes up again,” teases Buddy. “Well, I hope your old plane crashes,” responds Waylon with a chuckle. When the bus pulls into Moorhead, Minn., Waylon learns that his joke has come horribly true – Buddy’s plane has crashed, killing all aboard. Fate spared Waylon Jennings’ life on Feb. 3, 1959. Waylon had been given a second chance, and he used it to change the world of music forever. And after he had done that, Waylon Jennings died peacefully as he slept on Feb. 13, 2002, at age 64.“Waylon kicked ass right to the end, and ruled the roost right up to the last minute,” says his wife of 32 years, Jessi Colter. “"

Known as the Man in Black, both for his voice, which projected the fateful gravity of a country patriarch, and for his signature look, which suggested a cowboy undertaker, Johnny Cash was one of the few performers who outlasted to become a mythical figure rediscovered by each new generation. trends Beginning in the mid-1950's, when he made his first records for the Sun label, Johnny Cash forged a lean, hard-bitten country-folk music that at its most powerful seemed to erase the lines between singing, storytelling and gruelling life experience. Born in poverty in Arkansas at the height of the Depression, he was country music's foremost poet of the working poor. His stripped-down coal miners and sharecroppers, songs described the Jives of convicts and cowboys, railroad workers and labourers. Johnny Cash won 11 Grammy Awards including a lifetime achievement award in 1999. His influence extended far beyond the sphere of country music; along with Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins, his peers on Sun Records in the mid-1950's, he is considered a pioneer of rock 'rr' roll. In 1992, 12 years after his election to the Country Music Hall of Fame, he was elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and he remains the only performer besides Presley to have been inducted into both. Rockers embraced him after he and Bob Dylan recorded a duet, Girl From the North with the Country, on Dylan's Nashville Skyline album. Recently, Johnny Cash's version of the Nine Inch Nails song Hurt won six nominations at the Ivl TV Video Music Awardsvideo winning Best Cinematography."

This crossover appeal won Cash the rare honor of multiple inductions in the Country Music, Rock and Roll, and Gospel Music Halls of Fame. Cash was known for his deep, calm bass-baritone voice; [a] [5] the distinctive sound of his Tennessee Three backing band, which is characterized by train-sound guitar rhythms; a rebelliousness [6] [7] coupled with an increasingly somber and humble demeanor; [4] free prison concerts; [8] [9] and a trademark, all-black stage wardrobe, which earned him the nickname \"\"The Man in Black.\"\" [ b] He traditionally began his concerts by simply introducing himself, \"\"Hello, I'm Johnny Cash,\"\" [c] followed by his signature song \"\" Folsom Prison Blues \"\". Much of Cash's music contained themes of sorrow, moral tribulation, and redemption, especially in the later stages of his career. ["

Fans of the Man in Black's powerful tales of sin and redemption, succinctly captured in the three discs of a 2000 box set ( Love, God, Murder ), likely know much of the singer's story, from the tragic loss of his older brother, Jack, to Cash's epic struggle with amphetamine addiction and his late-life resurgence after an extended period wandering in the creative wilderness. See Where Johnny Cash Ranks on Our List of the 100 Greatest Singers But when the former Los Angeles Times critic Robert Hilburn first spoke with Cash's longtime manager, Lou Robin, about writing a comprehensive biography about this quintessential American figure, Robin told him that 80 percent of Cash's story had yet to be told. Johnny Cash: The Life, published this week, covers Cash's monumental highs and bottomless lows in unprecedented detail. Think you know Johnny Cash? The book is stuffed with warts-and-all revelations that might surprise you, and will certainly boost the singer's profile as a man of many contradictions.1. He empathized with a monster.

Vivian was the one cast out of the spotlight, left behind to raise her and Johnny's four daughters in Ventura as he and June Carter became the king and queen of country music in almost storybook romance style. Vivian became fodder only for, as she writes, people curious about her past with her famous ex-husband and those of the Nashville mind-set who wanted her \"\"written out of Johnny's history altogether. \"\" Now Vivian's writing back, so to speak, in \"\"I Walked The Line: My Life with Johnny,\"\" released this fall. By turns sad and uplifting, the book is a sobering antidote to our celebrity-obsessed culture and speaks to the oft-ignored fallout from fame. In it, Vivian confesses that she never stopped loving Johnny and wistfully ruminates on what might have been had drugs and June not entered their lives. The heart and setting for much of this is Johnny and Vivian's stint living in a hillside home above Nye Road in Casitas Springs from 1961 to 1967, a period containing some of the most colorful and worst of the legendary Man in Black's bad-boy behavior — the pills, the booze, the binges, the arrests and an infamous June 1965 forest fire he set above Fillmore. It wasn't long after they moved to Casitas Springs, Vivian writes in the book, \"\"that everything, and I mean everything, started to fall apart.\"\" While Johnny toured (sometimes with June) and his fame grew, Vivian stayed home. \"\""

The LP contains a slew of songs written by like-minded songwriters such as Willie Nelson, Tony Joe White and Kris Kristofferson, whose compositions were pushing the boundaries of the conservative country music establishment. Jennings, who had been frustrated by the assembly line production at RCA for years, became a leading force in what was being called \"\"progressive country\"\" music. In the audio version of his autobiography Waylon, the singer recalls his frustration: \"\"I would think of ideas and before I got a chance to put 'em down - or even hear if they even worked - they'd tell me I was wrong.

"text": "\"\"\" Highwayman \"\" is a song written by American singer-songwriter Jimmy Webb, about a soul with incarnations in four different places in time and history: as a highwayman, a sailor, a construction worker on the Hoover Dam, and finally as a captain of a starship. The song was influenced by the real-life hanged highwayman Jonathan Wild. The dam builder verse alludes to the deaths of over one hundred men during the construction of Hoover Dam near Boulder City, Nevada. Webb first recorded the song on his album El Mirage, released in May 1977. The following year, Glen Campbell recorded his version, which was released on his 1979 album Highwayman. In 1985, the song became the inspiration for the naming of the supergroup The Highwaymen, which featured Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson. Their first album, Highwayman, became a number one platinum-selling album, and their version of the song went to number one on the Hot Country Songs Billboard chart in a twenty-week run. Their version earned Webb a Grammy Award for Best Country Song in 1986. The song has since been recorded by other artists. Webb himself included a different version on his 1996 album Ten Easy Pieces, a live version on his 2007 album Live and at Large, and a duet version with Mark Knopfler on 2010 album Just Across the River."

At first glance the lyrics may seem very simplistic and are merely telling the story of 3 rugged men who met their untimely deaths by doing great and powerful things, and the determinination and continuity and power of the human spirit to endure. This also speaks to the great mystery of what lies across the greay veil of death. Death is not the end but the beginning of another journey.

He got the idea for the song from his friend Jean Shepherd - a guy who had to deal with a girly name. Shepherd was a writer/humorist like Silverstein; he narrated the 1983 movie A Christmas Story, which is based on his writings. This is about a boy who grows up angry at his father not only for leaving his family, but for naming him Sue. When the boy grows up, he sees his father in a bar and gets in a fight with him. After his father explains that he named him Sue to make sure he was tough, the son understands. Cash recorded this live at San Quentin Prison in February 1969."

It is true that she died in the bathroom though. There are many rumors surrounding her death, but the previously listed cause is the only official and most likely accurate one. Judy Garland did have many suicide attempts throughout her lifetime, but this was not ruled the cause of her death. However, even with the small possibly that she did commit suicide, she definitely didn't do it on stage."

By Forrest Wickman Rainbow flag creator Gilbert Baker. Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images Streets around the world will be decked in rainbows this week as the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community celebrates LGBT Pride Month. Why is gay pride represented by rainbows? Forrest Wickman Forrest Wickman is Slate’s culture editor. Closeted gay people historically used bright colors to signal their homosexuality to each other. Oscar Wilde was famous for wearing a trademark green carnation on his lapel, and the flower is thought to have been used by him and other Londoners and Parisians of the late 19 th and early 20 th centuries to quietly express their orientation. Novelist Robert Hitchens described the phenomenon in 1894’s The Green Carnation, and the book in part spurred Wilde’s trial for sodomy. Yellow was used for the same purpose in Australia."

"text": "STARS ON STAMPS–QUIZ ANSWERSJul05 2012 Leave a Comment Written by classicmovieguys Last week we gave you the names and pictures of seven Hollywood Superstars who have all had their likenesses on U. S. Postage stamps, and asked you who was the first to be so honored. Hello again. Joe Morella and Frank Segers, your classic movie guys, back with the answers to our “stamp” quiz of June 28. As you’ve guessed from the above pictured stamp, Will Rogers was the first Hollywood star put on a U. S. postage stamp. And as you’ve guessed by the price of the stamp it was long ago — 1948. So, listing our 7 superstars in order of release we have: Rogers, 1948; W. C. Fields, 1980; Ethel Barrymore, 1982; Judy Garland, Vivien Leigh, AND John Wayne, 1990; Bob Hope, 2009. Although Garland and Leigh are often cited as the first female performers to grace a stamp this is misleading and untrue. In 1990 the Postal Department released stamps honoring famous films of 1939, hence Wizard of Oz, Gone With the Wind and Stagecoach were represented. But Ethel Barrymore was the first female star on a stamp. She, however, shared the stamp with her famous brothers, John and Lionel."

Her girlhood was uneventful for the most part, but one of the things she desired was to become an actress which she had decided on at an early age. After her high school graduation in 1947, Grace struck out on her own, heading to New York's bright lights to try her luck there. Grace worked some as a model and made her debut on Broadway in 1949. She also made a brief foray into the infant medium of television. Not content with the work in New York, Grace moved to Southern California for the more prestigious part of acting -- motion pictures. In 1951, she appeared in her first film entitled Fourteen Hours (1951) when she was 22. It was a small part, but a start nonetheless. The following year she landed the role of Amy Kane in High Noon (1952), a western starring Gary Cooper and Lloyd Bridges which turned out to be very popular. In 1953, Grace appeared in only one film, but it was another popular one."

She was known for her intense acting, charming wit, and great sense of humor. Garland also excelled in the ability to depict emotion in a song, and maintain her amazingly strong, quivering voice. Contents [ show]Biography Edit Childhood and early life Edit At the age of 2, the young Frances Gumm made her first appearance on stage singing the chorus of Jingle Bells, as part of a trio with her two sisters under the name of the Gumm Sisters. In 1934, the sisters performed in Chicago at the Oriental Theater with George Jessel. He encouraged the group to choose a more appealing name after \"\"Gumm\"\" received small laughter from the audience. They settled on the Garland Sisters, and young Frances soon afterward picked the name Judy after a popular song of the day by Hoagy Carmichael. A rumor persists that Jessel came up with the last name Garland after Carole Lombard's character Lily Garland in the film Twentieth Century, which was playing at the Oriental; another rumor is that the sisters came up with the surname Garland after drama critic Robert Garland (reference: Judy: Beyond the Rainbow, A&E/Biography television special), though Lorna Luft stated in her book Me and My Shadows that her mother chose the name when Jessel announced that the trio of singers looked prettier than a Garland of flowers. In 1935, at the age of 13, Garland was signed to a contract with MGM. Garland's first notice by studio executives came after singing \"\"You Made Me Love You\"\" to Clark Gable at a birthday party held by the studio for the King of Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz Hollywood."

According to her autobiography, \"\"Me and My Shadows\"\" (1998), she and her younger brother Joey Luft lived an idyllic childhood in Bel Air, oblivious to any problems that may have arisen regarding her mother's ongoing drug addiction and her parents' marriage. By the time she was 12, however, her parents were divorced, and she was forced to face her mother's serious drug problem head-on. But she stuck with her mother, because she knew that Garland truly loved her children when not under the influence of the drugs. She became her mother's care-giver, administering the medication she needed to function, carefully monitoring the amount she took, and dealing with her whenever her behavior got out of control. Eventually, however, she couldn't take it anymore and had a mental breakdown. As painful as it was for her, she and her brother left her mother and went to live with their father. Several months later, Garland overdosed and died. Lorna was crushed and guilty, having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that her mother's death was inevitable, and would have happened had she been there or not. Lorna soon followed in her mother and sister's footsteps to a show business career."

The cause of death of the 47-year-old singer was not immediately established, and an autopsy was scheduled. [ Reuters reported that police sources said a preliminary investigation revealed nothing to suggest that Miss Garland had taken her own life. ] Miss Garland's personal life often seemed a fruitless search for the happiness promised in \"\"Over the Rainbow,\"\" the song she made famous in the movie \"\"The Wizard of Oz. \"\" Her father died when she was 12 years old; the pressures of adolescent stardom sent her to a psychiatrist at the age of 18; she was married five times; she was frequently ill; her singing voice faltered, and she suffered from the effects of drugs she once said were prescribed either to invigorate or tranquilize her. She came here at the end of last year to play a cabaret in another of the \"\"comeback\"\" performances that dotted her last 15 years. Three months ago she married Mickey Deans, a discotheque manager. It was Mr. Deans, her fifth husband, who found Miss Garland dead on the bathroom floor in their home in the Belgravia district.

Can you correct my guess to 4'11.75? Arch Stanton said on 10/Oct/16 jtm said on 10/Jul/14 why is she listed 5'0? she claimed 4'11 and that's what she looked.

It wasn't like she claimed that at 15 or something! I agree with you on nearer 5 ft though."

"text": "\"Biggest Oscar Snubs Of All Time: 'Selma' And 9 Other Academy Award Snub Shockers Over The Years By Alex Garofalo @Ja9Garofalo TV On 01/16/15 AT 10:30 AMDavid Oyelowo, snubbed for his performance in \"\"Selma,\"\" joins a long list of ignored performances in Oscar history. Photo: Reuters No sooner had the Oscar nominations been announced than fans and critics alike voiced their gripes about who had been snubbed by the Academy. Every year some of the biggest names in movies inevitably are left off the final list of nominees, but some actors and filmmakers are more wrongly overlooked than others -- at least in the view of their fans. This year, all the talk has been about “Selma” missing out on a Best Actor nom for David Oyelowo and what would have been the first director nomination for an African-American woman for Ava Du Vernay. But what are the biggest snubs in Oscar history? Ben Affleck In the quest for all-time snubs, one need not look further back than 2013. That year, Affleck’s period thriller “Argo” took home Best Picture, but he did not get a Best Director trophy to match. In fact, he wasn’t even nominated. It is very rare that the Academy fails to honor the Best Picture-winning director with at least a nomination, and it was grossly unjustified here, especially after Affleck won the Golden Globe that year in the category. Affleck did win an Oscar that year, though, when the film won Best Picture, along with two other statuettes."

"text": "Cold War1951Rosenbergs convicted of espionage Share this:facebook twitter google+Print Cite In one of the most sensational trials in American history, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg are convicted of espionage for their role in passing atomic secrets to the Soviets during and after World War II. The husband and wife were later sentenced to death and were executed in 1953. The conviction of the Rosenbergs was the climax of a fast-paced series of events that were set in motion with the arrest of British physicist Klaus Fuchs in Great Britain in February 1950. British authorities, with assistance from the U. S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, gathered evidence that Fuchs, who worked on developing the atomic bomb both in England and the United States during World War II, had passed top-secret information to the Soviet Union. Fuchs almost immediately confessed his role and began a series of accusations. Fuchs confessed that American Harry Gold had served as a courier for the Soviet agents to whom Fuchs passed along his information. American authorities captured Gold, who thereupon pointed the finger at David Greenglass, a young man who worked at the laboratory where the atomic bomb had been developed. Gold claimed Greenglass was even more heavily involved in spying than Fuchs. Upon his arrest, Greenglass readily confessed and then accused his sister and brother-in-law, Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, of being the spies who controlled the entire operation. Both Ethel and Julius had strong leftist leanings and had been heavily involved in labor and political issues in the United States during the late-1930s and 1940s."

The two boys were just 7 and 3 years old when their parents were arrested for espionage. During the trial and the various appeals of their parents the boys had no home of their own. When Ethel Rosenberg was arrested the children were sent to live with Tessie Greenglass, Ethel's mother. Tessie Greenglass was unable to take care of the boys, and after staying with her for three months they were moved to the Hebrew Children's Home. Sophie Rosenberg, Julius' mother removed Michael and Robert from the shelter after they had been there for several months. She decided to take care of the boys herself. During this time Michael and Robert were allowed to visit their parents in Sing Sing prison. After about one year with their paternal grandmother the boys were forced to relocate once again, this time moving in with the Bach family, friends of the Rosenbergs, who lived in New Jersey. On June 14, 1953 Michael and Robert traveled to Washington, D. C. to appeal for their parents lives to be spared."

Courtesy of Robert and Michael Meeropol One of Billie Holiday's most iconic songs is \"\"Strange Fruit,\"\" a haunting protest against the inhumanity of racism. Many people know that the man who wrote the song was inspired by a photograph of a lynching. But they might not realize that he's also tied to another watershed moment in America's history. The man behind \"\"Strange Fruit\"\" is New York City's Abel Meeropol, and he really has two stories. They both begin at Dewitt Clinton High School, a public high school in the Bronx that has an astonishing number of famous people in its alumni. James Baldwin went there. So did Countee Cullen, Richard Rodgers, Burt Lancaster, Stan Lee, Neil Simon, Richard Avedon and Ralph Lauren. Meeropol graduated from Dewitt Clinton in 1921; he went on to teach English there for 17 years. He was also a poet and a social activist, says Gerard Pelisson, who wrote a book about the school."

"title": "http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/McCarthyism\nMcCarthyism",
"text": "\"navigation search Mc Carthyism, named after Joseph Mc Carthy, was a period of intense anticommunism, also known as the (second) Red Scare, which occurred in the United States from 1948 to about 1956 (or later), when the government of the United States was actively engaged in political repression of the Communist Party USA, its leadership, and others suspected of being communists. After the allegations that both Assistant Treasury Secretary Harry Dexter White and FDR advisor Alger Hiss were Soviet agents, loyalty tests were required for government and other employment and lists of \"\"subversive\"\" organizations were maintained. From the viewpoint of many conservative American citizens at the time, the suppression of radicalism and radical organizations in the United States was a struggle against a dangerous subversive element controlled by a foreign power that posed a real danger to the security of the country, thus justifying extreme, even illegal measures. From a radical viewpoint it was probably seen as class warfare, particularly by the actual communists targeted. From the viewpoint of people who were caught up in the conflict for simply being objectionable (but certainly not communist spies), it was a massive violation of civil and Constitutional rights. Another major element of Mc Carthyism was the internal screening program on federal government employees, conducted by the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover. This comprehensive program vetted all federal government employees for Communist connections, and employed evidence provided by anonymous sources whom the subjects of investigation were not allowed to challenge or identify. From 1951, the program's required level of proof for dismissing a federal employee was for \"\"reasonable doubt\"\" to exist over their loyalty; previously it had required \"\"reasonable grounds\"\" for believing them to be disloyal. The hearings conducted by Senator Joseph Mc Carthy gave the Red Scare the name which is in common usage, but the \"\"Red Scare\"\" predated Mc Carthy's meteoric rise to prominence in 1950 and continued after he was discredited by a Senate censure in 1954, following his disastrous investigation into the U. S. Army, which started on April 22 of that year. Mc Carthy's name became associated with the phenomenon mainly through his prominence in the media; his outspoken and unpredictable nature made him ideal as the figurehead of anticommunism, although he was probably not its most important practitioner."

"text": "\"News & Events Media & Journalism What was the espionage act of 1917? Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The Espionage Act of 1917 (Pub. L. 65-24, 40 Stat. 217, enacted June 15, 1917) is a United States federal law passed on June 15, 1917, shortly after the U. S. entry into World War I. It has been amended numerous times over the years. It was originally found in Title 50 of the U. S. Code (War) but is now found under Title 18, Crime. Specifically it is 18 U. S. C. §792 et seq. [ 1] It originally prohibited any attempt to interfere with military operations, to support U. S. enemies during wartime, to promote insubordination in the military, or to interfere with military recruitment. In 1919, the U. S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled in Schenck v. United States that the act did not violate the freedom of speech of those convicted under its provisions. The constitutionality of the law, its relationship to free speech, and the meaning of the law's language have been contested in court ever since. Among those who have been charged with offenses under the Act are former Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society president Joseph F. Rutherford, communists Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, and alleged cablegate whistleblower Bradley Manning."

They were accused of transmitting nuclear weapon designs to the Soviet Union; at that time the United States was the only country with nuclear weapons. They were also accused of providing top-secret information about radar, sonar, and jet propulsion engines to the USSR. [ 1] [2] [3]Other convicted co-conspirators were imprisoned, including Ethel's brother, David Greenglass, who supplied documents from Los Alamos to Julius and who served 10 years of his 15-year sentence; Harry Gold, who identified Greenglass and served 15 years in Federal prison as the courier for Greenglass. Klaus Fuchs, a German scientist working in Los Alamos and handled by Gold, provided vastly more important information. He was convicted in Great Britain and served nine years and four months in prison. [ 4] [5]For decades, the Rosenbergs' sons Michael and Robert Meeropol and many other defenders maintained that Julius and Ethel were innocent of spying on their country and victims of Cold War paranoia. After the fall of the Soviet Union, much information concerning them was declassified, including a trove of decoded Soviet cables, code-named VENONA, which detailed Julius's role as a courier and recruiter for the Soviets and Ethel's role as an accessory. Their sons' current position is that Julius was legally guilty of the conspiracy charge, though not of atomic spying, while Ethel was only generally aware of his activities. The children believe that their father did not deserve the death penalty and that their mother was wrongly convicted."

Email Print Share Follow @TIMENapalm is one of those American inventions that you wish weren’t, sort of like Agent Orange, killer drones, or nuclear weapons. Sure, their invention might have had to happen eventually, but why should the U. S. have to shoulder credit – culpability? — for being the first to develop ever-better and more lethal weapons? Was that something the Founding Fathers ever envisioned? Despite its heritage and horror, napalm – the word is a marriage of its two original components, naphthenic and palmitic acids – has played a major role in the history of war. That’s why Robert M. Neer, a historian at Columbia University, elected to write a book about it. Battleland conducted this email chat with Neer earlier this week: What is the bottom line in your new book, Napalm: An American Biography? Napalm was born a hero but lives a pariah. Its story shows how defeat on the battlefield, grassroots protest, vilification in popular culture, regulation under international law, development of alternative weapons, and the rise of a global civilian culture can constrain military power."

"text": "\"Archives | 1993Soviet A-Bomb Built From U. S. Data, Russian Says By SERGE SCHMEMANN and View page in Times Machine, Page 00012 The New York Times Archives The first Soviet atomic bomb, whose explosion in August 1949 formally launched the cold war arms race, was a copy of the first American A-bomb, built from plans supplied by at least one spy, according to the Russian who built that bomb. Yuli B. Khariton said that Soviet scientists were well on their way to making their own bomb when the Americans detonated an A-bomb in 1945 and proceeded to use them on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Soon after, the Soviet scientists received the full plans for the American bomb. Mr. Khariton credited Klaus Fuchs, a young physicist who passed secrets to the Soviets. But he did not rule out that other spies, including a scientist the K. G. B. has so far identified only as \"\"Perseus,\"\" might also have been sources. In any case, Stalin's pressure for results -- and the fear of what an unsuccessful test firing would mean in an era when failure often meant execution -- prompted the scientists to go ahead with a model that had already been tested, Mr. Khariton said. Comparing With U. S. Version\"\"By 1951 we detonated our own version, which was twice as powerful and much lighter than the American bomb,\"\" said Mr. Khariton, a participant in the Soviet A-bomb program from its inception. \"\" We never abandoned our own work, but Fuchs enabled us to detonate a bomb two years earlier. \"\"Mr. Khariton is now 88, an honored veteran of the Soviet nuclear program who still lives in Arzamas-16, the isolated former monastery in central Russia where the supersecret Soviet nuclear research center was founded after World War II."

Were there other US-born Jewish scientists at MP? If so, who were they and what did they contribute? Edward Teller is probably the best-known Jewish scientist at MP not born in the US, who later also worked on the hydrogen bomb. Were there other foreign-born Jewish scientists at MP? If so, who were they and what did they contribute? The 26 biographical sketches presented below make a (belated) start at answering these questions. I realize the lists are not exhaustive.

"text": "Home The Espionage Act of 1917 (U. S.)On This Day Civil Liberties Watch The Espionge Act: Why it was created and the effect it had The Espionage Act was passed by the U. S. Congress and signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson on June 15, 1917. This act along with its companion legislation The Sedition Act of 1918 were created primarily to quash organized opposition to American entrance into the First World War and to undermine the labour, pacifist, socialist, communist and anarchist movements which had steadily gaining momentum in the United States since the late 19th Century. The Act made it illegal to interfere with military recruitment (with the passage of the Sedition Act this included giving public speeches and writing and publishing of anti-war statements and indeed even anti espionage and sedition act statements!) It was also the instrument used against people who disclosed information relating to national defense. At the time the penalty if convicted was a 10, 000 $ fine and up to 20 years imprisonment. The law was contested from the moment of its inception as an unconstitutional violation of freedom of speech as well as freedom of the press. The Espionage act was used to break the I. W. W. (Industrial Workers of the World aka One Big Union), imprison Eugene Debs (amongst many many others) and played a key role in the Red Scare (1919-1920). It led to the eventual mass deportation of so called ‘Enemy Aliens’ including Emma Goldman, Alexander Berkman , and approximately 800 others. In 1920 the provisions of the Sedition Act were repealed but the Espionage Act remained in place. The Act was used intermittently over the ensuing years against accused Soviet spies, among them Julius and Ethel Rosenberg."

"text": "\"The Manhattan Project World War II started on September 1 1939, when Germany attacked Poland. By 1941, the Germans were ahead in the race for the atomic bomb. They had a heavy-water plant, high-grade uranium compounds, capable scientists and engineers, and the greatest chemical engineering industry in the world. Even before its entry into the war, the United States had become very concerned with the nuclear threat of the Axis powers. On October 11, 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt received a letter from Albert Einstein, which Einstein had actually written on August 2, 1939. The letter told of a new field of physics that was showing that the element uranium could undergo nuclear fission, with the resultant release of a great deal of energy. Einstein described the probability that a sustained nuclear reaction could be produced and the possibility of the construction of extremely powerful bombs. He described the possibility that such bombs could be delivered by ship, although he was skeptical that such weapons could be delivered by air. He noted the likelihood that Germany would pursue the same line of research and that the Germans had already suspended the export of uranium from the Czech mines in their newly acquired territory. Roosevelt took the warning seriously, and within a month had organized a research committee."

By Jennie Cohen// March 4, 2011Henry VIIIYou know he had six wives, but there was a lot more to this famous king. Print Cite Why did Henry VIII have so many wives and mistresses yet so few children? What caused the Tudor monarch’s descent into mental instability and physical agony in the second half of his life? A rare blood group and a genetic disorder associated with it may provide clues, a new study suggests. And, if Queen Elizabeth grants the researchers permission to unearth Henry’s body, definitive answers may be on the horizon. The life of England’s King Henry VIII is a royal paradox. A lusty womanizer who married six times and canoodled with countless ladies-in-waiting in an era before reliable birth control, he only fathered four children who survived infancy. Handsome, vigorous and relatively benevolent in the early years of his reign, he ballooned into an ailing 300-pound tyrant whose capriciousness and paranoia sent many heads rolling—including those of two of his wives, Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard."

She and her sister ship, Musashi, were the heaviest and most powerfully armed battleships ever constructed, displacing 72,800 tonnes at full load and armed with nine 46 cm (18.1 in) Type 94 main guns, which were the largest guns ever mounted on a warship. Named after the ancient Japanese Yamato Province, Yamato was designed to counter the numerically superior battleship fleet of the United States, Japan's main rival in the Pacific. She was laid down in 1937 and formally commissioned a week after the Pearl Harbor attack in late 1941. Throughout 1942, she served as the flagship of the Combined Fleet, and in June 1942 Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto directed the fleet from her bridge during the Battle of Midway, a disastrous defeat for Japan. Musashi took over as the Combined Fleet flagship in early 1943, and Yamato spent the rest of the year, and much of 1944, moving between the major Japanese naval bases of Truk and Kure in response to American threats. Although present at the Battle of the Philippine Sea in June 1944, she played no part in the battle. The only time Yamato fired her main guns at enemy surface targets was in October 1944, when she was sent to engage American forces invading the Philippines during the Battle of Leyte Gulf."

Her father, Grand Ole Opry veteran George Morgan, had crooned his way onto the country charts with the hit songs “ Roomful of Roses ” and “ Candy Kisses. ” His daughter, however, showed little interest in country music until her father persuaded her to perform one song at the Opry. The song was “ Paper Roses, ” and when the teenaged Morgan received a standing ovation for her debut performance she never looked back. “ My little 13 year-old knees were absolutely knocking, ” she told People. “ But I saw Dad standing there just bawling, and those people gave me a standing ovation. I thought, ‘ This is what I ’ m doing the rest of my life. ’ ”"

"text": "\"Whitley`s Last Days Whiskey Was A Way Of Life, And Then It Took His Life May 14, 1989 | By Jack Hurst, Country music writer. Maybe the most soulful of all country music`s young neo-traditionalists, Keith Whitley-who died Tuesday of alcohol poisoning-was the product of both a region and a musical mindset in which the most popular answer to life`s problems was whiskey. His musical heroes were Hank Williams and Lefty Frizzell, both of whom liquor killed in one way or another, and his hometown was a hamlet in moonshine-associated eastern Kentucky. ``That`s just the way I grew up,`` he said in a very candid interview a few months ago. ``I learned to do things the way the old-timers did it. I thought everybody had to drink to be in this business. Lefty drank, Hank drank, George Jones was still drinking, and I had to. That`s just the way it was. You couldn`t put that soul in your singing if you weren`t about three sheets in the wind. ``And if I was nervous about going out with a girl, I took a drink."

Carroll County Accident Recorded by Porter Wagoner Written by Bob Ferguson C G7 Carroll County's pointed out as kind of square C The biggest thing that happens is the county fair G7 I guess that's why it seemed like such a big event C What we all call the Carroll County accident G7 The wreck was on the highway just inside the line C Walter Browning lost his life and for a time G7 It seemed that Mary Ellen Jones would surely die C But she lived long enough for her to testify G7 Walter Browning was a happy married man C And he wore a golden wedding ring upon his hand G7 But it was gone nobody knew just where it went C He lost it in the Carroll County accident G7 Mary Ellen testified he flagged her down C Said he was sick and could she drive him into town G7 No one even doubted what she said was true C Cause she was well respected in the county too G7 I went down to see the wreck like all the rest C The bloody seats the broken glass the tangled mess G7 But I found something no one else had even seen C Behind the dash in Mary's crumpled up machine G7 A little match box circled by a rubber band C And inside the ring from Walter Browning's hand G7 It took awhile to figure out just what it meant C The truth about the Carroll County accident G7 By dark of night I dropped the ring into a well C And took a sacred oath that I would never tell G7 The truth about the Carroll County accident C Cause the county ordered dad a marble monument G7 C I lost him in the Carroll County accident If you want to change the \"\"Key\"\" on any song, click herefor the easiest way possible.

Browse this site to find old gospel songs that you enjoy singing. My personal preference is to listen and sing country gospel songs, they are much more meaningful and easy to understand. Enjoy Worship music with lyrics and have a great day. Country Gospel Music has been around for many years and it began as a blend of early mountain music, cowboy music, and music from plantations of the deep south. The songs tend to deal with life’s problems and God’s answers to those problems. Country gospel music has attracted wonderful talent for those who like the sounds of today’s country music. The television show Hee Haw always had a segment of great classic gospel songs, along with the Statler Brothers Show and the Mandrell Sisters Show. The Grand Ole Opry has always included gospel music as part of it’s shows. Other artists with wonderful Christian country music is Ray Price, Hank Williams, Jim Reeves, Red Sovine, The Louvin Brothers, The Carter Family, the Statler Brothers and the Oak Ridge Boys."

From Andy Holtzman to Old Vic claims The 58-year-old is one of Hollywood's most famous actors but is now facing a wave of criticism over sex allegations and his response to them By Richard Wheatstone25th January 2018, 8:01 pm Updated: 25th January 2018, 8:04 pm KEVIN Spacey was one of Hollywood's most decorated actors - known for roles in acclaimed films such as The Usual Suspects and American Beauty as well as the Netflix series, House of Cards. But following allegations he sexually assaulted a 14-year-old boy - claims which prompted him to publicly come out as gay for the first time - he is now facing a wave of criticism for his alleged behaviour and the timing of his announcement. PA: Press Association Kevin Spacey was one of Hollywood's most celebrated actors What are the allegations against Kevin Spacey? Anthony Rapp Actor Anthony Rapp, best known for his role in Star Trek: Discovery, gave an interview to Buzzfeed in which he alleged Kevin Spacey made sexual advances to him when he was a 14-year-old boy. Spacey, then aged 26, is alleged to have invited Rapp to his New York apartment for a party before picking him up and placing him on his bed when the party had finished. Rapp, now 46, claims Spacey then climbed on top of him and made sexual advances before he managed to \"\"wriggle free\"\". Tony Montana Tony Montana, a filmmaker and director, said Kevin Spacey groped him in a Los Angeles pub in 2003. Montana claimed Spacey grabbed him by the crotch at The Coronet Pub in West Hollywood while he was ordering a drink. He told online gossip website Radar: “I went up to order a drink and Kevin came up to me and put his arm around me."

"text": "\"Kevin Spacey will be cut out of his already finished movie All the Money in the World Christopher Plummer will replace him. © Getty Images Sony By Sam Warner 9 November 2017Kevin Spacey's new movie All the Money in the World, which has already been completed, will cut out the actor and replace him with Christopher Plummer. Spacey is facing a number of allegations of sexual misconduct, and now the film's director Sir Ridley Scott and Imperative Entertainment have decided to take the unprecedented move, Deadline reports. Plummer is set to take over the role of J Paul Getty, with re-shoots of all of Spacey's scenes set to begin immediately. Scott is also reportedly aiming to keep the film's original December 22 release. Advertisement - Continue Reading Below The actor originally worked for around eight to 10 days on All the Money in the World, playing the oilman who refused to pay a ransom after his grandson was kidnapped. Sony Pictures gave the go-ahead for the re-shoots, alongside the film's cast and crew and stars Michelle Williams and Mark Wahlberg. © PA Images It will be a massive task, with only six weeks to go until its release, as they will also have to replace Spacey in all the marketing materials too. The decision comes days after the movie was pulled from the closing night slot of the AFI Festival following the allegations against Spacey. The actor faced fresh allegations yesterday (November 8) after journalist Heather Unruh accused him of groping her 18-year-old son last year."

"text": "\"Movies | FILMKevin Spacey's Battle for Bobby Darin By DENNIS MCDOUGAL NOV. 21, 2004IF every film has a moment at which it was truly born, the time arrived for \"\"Beyond the Sea\"\" at 3 p.m. on Oct. 1, 1999, at L'Ermitage Hotel in Beverly Hills. Precisely then, Kevin Spacey danced into a meeting with the independent producer Arthur Friedman, snapping his fingers and singing the 39-year-old pop tune of the same name in an eerie impersonation of Bobby Darin. Mr. Spacey, 40 years old and at the peak of his career, was on the verge of winning his second Oscar, for \"\"American Beauty.\"\" But Paramount executives, who had been interested in \"\"Beyond the Sea,\"\" a biopic about Darin, thought him too old to play the musical idol who had died of heart failure at 37 and preferred Leonardo Di Caprio. Mesmerized by Mr. Spacey's odd obsession with Darin, however, Mr. Friedman, a former film marketer, took him on as both star and fellow producer. That choice closed the door at Paramount, while unleashing Mr. Spacey's passion, which ultimately got the picture made -- and got Mr. Friedman booted from his own production. To woo foreign financing for the modest $25 million budget, Mr. Spacey used his Darin shtick again, performing six songs last year at the American Film Market, an annual film distribution convention in Santa Monica. The movie that will finally reach audiences next month by way of an American distributor, Lions Gate Entertainment, is an extraordinary one-man show: Mr. Spacey is not only the star and a producer, but also director, co-writer and leader of a 19-piece band that will tour nine cities, backing his Darin act. Mr. Spacey, with the help of seven toupees and the makeup team from \"\"The Lord of the Rings,\"\" essentially becomes Bobby Darin in the film."

Rapp said in a report Sunday night that he was 14 years old when actor Kevin Spacey made a sexual advance toward him. Rapp told Buzzfeed News that in 1986, Spacey, a fellow Broadway actor at the time, invited Rapp to his apartment for a party. Later in the evening, Spacey, then 26, allegedly “picked Rapp up, placed him on his bed, and climbed on top of him, making a sexual advance,” according to the report. Spacey, early Monday, tweeted that he does not remember the alleged encounter, saying it would have been over 30 years ago.pic.twitter.com/X6ybi5atr5— Kevin Spacey (@Kevin Spacey) October 30, 2017“But if I did behave then as he describes, I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior, and I am sorry for the feelings he describes having carried with him all these years. \"\" Spacey said he has had relationships with both men and women throughout his life and chooses “now to live as a gay man. ”Rapp recalled he pushed Spacey off of him, went to a bathroom and closed the door, thinking: “What is happening?” He told Spacey he had to go home, to which he allegedly asked if he was “sure” he wanted to do that. Rapp, who came forward less than a month after accusations against mega-producer Harvey Weinstein led to his Hollywood downfall, said he decided to speak out “not to simply air a grievance … but to try to shine another light on the decades of behavior that have been allowed to continue because many people, including myself, being silent.” \""

John Cusack is the writer, John Kelso, and his explorations of Savannah, Georgia offer some mystery and fun, though the result will be flat for those who already know the story from reading the best-selling book. \"\" Better to be on the edge of a party, don't you think?\"\" a young woman named Mandy (Alison Eastwood) asks Kelso at one point. It's a pertinent question. Alison's father Clint and screenwriter John Lee Hancock try to accomplish much the same effect here, dancing at the perimeters of things, showing conversations where words can not be discerned. Many times we see Kelso looking in on some social function from the outside, like at a cotillion for black debutantes or bridge games at the Married Women's Club, a bit adrift but interested in the games people play. At the same time, Kelso becomes quite close to one Savannah resident, Joe Williams, an art dealer whose homosexuality is an open secret until he comes out of the closet by shooting his boy-toy. Kevin Spacey's performance as Williams is rich and fun, his accent not note-perfect but well-tailored to his polished delivery. The way he lazily smokes his cigars as he moves through a party, dabbles in lowcountry voodoo with Jesuitical zeal, or even eats gumbo in prison is a study in an actor's sense of the wholeness of the role."

"text": "\"Kevin Spacey Whines Obama Can't Get Anything Done Because Of GOP2.23.2015 News Yehuda Remer On Sunday’s Meet the Press, actor Kevin Spacey whined that President Obama is incapable of accomplishing any of his goals because the GOP will stop at nothing in blocking everyone one of Obama’s ideas. Talking about the hit show House of Cards, correspondent Cynthia Mc Fadden said, \"\"A life-long Democrat, Spacey says he, like many Americans, is frustrated with Washington. \"\"\"\" I think that what is truly unfortunate is when an entire party makes a decision that they're going to block every single thing that a president wants to accomplish. It's very – it's very hard to get anything done in those circumstances,\"\" intoned Spacey, who plays President Frank Underwood on the show. \"\" Even Frank Underwood would have trouble with that?\"\" asked Mc Fadden. \"\" Oh, I'd just kill everybody, just kill them all,\"\" Spacey joked. As the segment continued, Beau Willimon, the creator and executive producer of House of Cards explained that the reason why so many people enjoy the show and gravitate to it is because unlike real Washington, the show depicts politicians, mainly Spacey’s character, getting the job done: The ways he goes about it may be distasteful to you, but what do people relish in a Frank Underwood? A guy who gets things done. I think there's a certain deliciousness to that which they see in his journey that they don't see in the real Washington right now."

House of Cards binge-viewing gives insight into famously secretive streaming service's viewing figures -Emma Daly investigates the Vo D goldrush, and the future of television viewing habits... By Emma Daly Thursday, 27th February 2014 at 2:44 pm Netflix doesn’t share its viewing figures. In fact, it seems to be one of the closest guarded secrets in the business. And, it doesn’t have to. Netflix relies on subscribers paying a monthly subscription, not the budgets of advertisers impressed by big numbers. So while we know Netflix has more than 44 million subscribers in 41 countries (33 million in the US, 11 million non-US), we don’t know whether 10 or 10,000,000 people are watching specific movies and shows available on its platform. House of Cards made headlines with its Valentine’s Day drop of season two earlier this month. But how many actually watched it? Sure the UK has more than 1.5 million subscribers according to recent estimates, but what percentage of them are Frank Underwood fans? It has seemed at times like an unanswerable question, and one Netflix hoped to keep that way."

"text": "Another list of Oscar nominees, and another story on me griping about it. I’ll start with the people reading the nominations. Nice to see Andy Serkis up there with Tiffany Haddish, but would it have killed her to learn how to pronounce ALL the names of the possible nominees? I thought after John Travolta butchered a name a few years ago, they’d all learn that it’s best to learn how to pronounce names. Now, on to the nominations…. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri was okay, but cartoonish, unrealistic characters just killed it for me. It got seven nominations. Dunkirk, which bored me and my friend (a World War II buff), got eight nominations. A whopping nine movies got nominated this year, and only one of them made my Top 10 list of the year — Lady Bird (two others almost made my list — The Post and Get Out ). I want to know where movies on my list were: The Big Sick, Molly’s Game, Wind River, Last Flag Flying, and the most underrated movie of the year — Good Time (Robert Pattinson and Benny Safdie deserved nominations as well)."

Accordingly, the film will be withdrawn. However, a film is not the work of one person. There are over 800 other actors, writers, artists, craftspeople and crew who worked tirelessly and ethically on this film, some for years, including one of cinema’s master directors.

"text": "The 'Batman' Role Robin Williams Never Got to Play Kevin Polowy Senior Correspondent, Yahoo Entertainment August 13, 2014Robin Williams played countless colorful characters over the course of his career, but there was one especially flashy role that evaded him: the Batman villain. The late actor, who died Monday of an apparent suicide, told Empire Magazine in 2010 that he was twice offered jobs as iconic antagonists in the original movie series, first as the Joker in Tim Burton’s Batman (1989), and then as the Riddler in Batman Forever (1995), but got “screwed” on both, with those roles ultimately going to Jack Nicholson and Jim Carrey, respectively. ( A 1994 report from Entertainment Weekly suggested it was Williams who’d passed on the Riddler role because the conception of the character wasn’t funny enough. ) After Williams’s Insomnia director Christopher Nolan very successfully rebooted the Dark Knight franchise with Batman Begins (2005), the actor’s name was regularly batted about as one of the series’ possible rogues. His casting would’ve made perfect sense: While Williams is rightfully hailed as a master of both the comedic and dramatic arts, he could go into ‘creep mode’ in an instant (as evidence in not just 2002’s Insomnia, but also that same year’s One Hour Photo and Death to Smoochy ). And of course was known for his unpredictable, manic edge, an essential trait for anyone who dares taunt the Dark Knight. [ Related: 8 Great GIFs of Robin Williams That Will Make You Smile]In 2006, IGN reported that Williams could very well be in the running to play the Joker in Nolan’s Batman Begins follow-up, The Dark Knight (2008). The outlet asked him about the possibility: “Oh God, I’d love to do that one,” he said. “ I think you can really explore how bright and how nasty-funny he is, just like I guess what Kevin [Spacey] did with Lex Luthor [in Superman Returns ], made him really funny, but yet still damaged.” The role, of course, went to Heath Ledger, who died shortly after the film’s production and won a posthumous Academy Award for what many consider one of the all-time great screen villains."

"text": "Kevin Spacey on House of Cards, his father – and why he couldn’t possibly comment on modern politics Two Oscars, a hit TV show, running the Old Vic... Kevin Spacey has got it all – so why is he sending pleading letters to Woody Allen? Friday, 27th February 2015 at 7:27 am When Kevin Spacey finally got House of Cards on air, there was one person he desperately wanted to see it. The trouble is, House of Cards is on Netflix – the online streaming service – and the person he wanted to see his performance so badly is wary of new-fangled technology. So Kevin Spacey sent Woody Allen a Netflix subscription. “Every time he announces a new movie, I never get an audition,” he explains. “ So, I introduced myself and sent him a Netflix subscription and said I don’t know if you’ve seen my work, but you might want to watch this series. ”You wonder why, after a screen career spanning almost 30 years including LA Confidential, The Shipping News, Glengarry Glen Rossand his Oscar-winning turns in The Usual Suspects and American Beauty, it was House of Cards he chose to send? Sure, it’s won two Golden Globes (of seven nominations) and four Emmys (22 nominations) – but that was still to come when he sent the sub. More than that – why was Francis Underwood, the Machiavellian reboot of TV’s most devious opportunist Francis Urquhart, the man he championed from the idea stage to the screen? Why was this the script that brought him to the TV screen?"

David Ehrlich Aug 5, 2016 11:05 am@davidehrlich“Nine Lives”Less funny than the average cat gif and approximately 1,000 times as long, the astonishingly stupid “ Nine Lives ” is too fluffy and frivolous to be the worst movie of the summer, but it might just be the laziest. Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld (“Men in Black”) and written by one of the finest algorithms money can buy, this derivative story about the very secret lives of pets is quite possibly the worst thing to happen to cats since dogs. “ Cat’s don’t care about you,” begins the film’s opening voiceover. Judging by the 89 minutes that follow, people don’t care about you all that much either. Kevin Spacey (“K-Pax”), who is apparently being severely underpaid for his work in “House of Cards,” stars as Tom Brand, a New York real estate titan who likes to put his name on buildings, hire his children in key positions, and treat people so monstrously that his behavior would seem unrealistic if not for the fact that the character’s real-life equivalent is currently running for President. A workaholic who seldom sees his second wife (Jennifer Garner) or the tween daughter they have together (Melina Weissman), Tom Brand is a Disney Dad for the Donald Trump era, but “Nine Lives” — for better or worse — isn’t a Disney movie. READ MORE: Kevin Spacey Is A Talking Cat In New Trailer For ‘Nine Lives’ No, this hairball of hot garbage comes from the braintrust at Luc Besson’s Europa Corp, the French production company responsible for the lunatic likes of “Taken,” “The Transporter,” “Taken 2,” “Lucy,” and “Taken 3.” Europa Corp’s mission statement has seemingly always been to make movies that feel like they were dropped on their heads as children, and “Nine Lives” is no exception. Young kids may not notice the difference, but you certainly will."

D. 117-138) was a Roman emperor known for his many building projects, cities named Hadrianopolis ( Adrianopolis) after him, and the famous wall across Britain, from Tyne to Solway, designed to keep the barbarians out of Roman Britain ( see map of Roman Britain ). Hadrian was one of the 5 good Roman emperors. Like Emperor Marcus Aurelius, he was influenced by the philosophy of the Stoics. He did not add to Trajan's expansion of the Roman Empire, but traveled around it. He rectified tax situations and is said to have defended the weak against the strong. He was emperor during the Bar Kochba revolt in Judaea. Family of Hadrian Hadrian was probably not from the city of Rome. The Augustan History says Hadrian's family was originally from Pompey's hometown of Picenum ( see map of Italy sections Gd-e ), but more recently from Spain.

According to Jewish tradition, the Shekhinah (Divine Presence) used to appear through this gate, and will appear again when the Messiah comes (Ezekiel 44:1-3) and a new gate replaces the present one; that is why Jews used to pray for mercy at the former gate at this location. Hence the name Sha'ar Harachamim the Gate of Mercy. In Christian apocryphal texts, the gate was the scene of a meeting between the parents of Mary, so that Joachim and Anne Meeting at the Golden Gate became a standard subject in cycles depicting the Life of the Virgin. It is also said that Jesus passed through this gate on Palm Sunday. In Arabic, it is known as the Gate of Eternal Life. In ancient times, the gate was known as the Beautiful Gate. Remains of a much older gate dating to the times of the Second Jewish Temple were found. The present one was probably built in the 520s AD, as part of Justinian I's building program in Jerusalem, on top of the ruins of the earlier gate in the wall. An alternate theory holds that it was built in the later part of the 7th century by Byzantine artisans employed by the Umayyad khalifs."

"text": "\"Pictish/Scottish Names The term \"\"Pict\"\" first appears in a work by Eumenius in 297 A. D. The term was used by Romans to describe people living north of the Antonine Wall in the 2nd century A. D., perhaps in connection with conflicts during the time of Septimius Severus. The presence of the Romans may have led to an increase in ethnic identity amongst the Picts. ( 3)There were no major cultural breaks and no signs of a large influx of people in Scotland from the end of the Bronze Age to the Middle Ages so the Picts developed from the existing people groups. The older, non-Celtic influence was strongest in north-eastern Scotland. The Iron Age Celts may have moved into Scotland after 500 B. C., bringing some change with them. ( 3, 7)The language of the Picts has been much debated. An analysis of Pictish personal and place names suggests that the people spoke a Brittonic Celtic language, perhaps related to Cumbric and mixed with an earlier non-Celtic language. Cumbric was a P-Celtic dialect that was spoken by the Britons of Strathclyde. It is not known how long pre-Celtic languages were spoken in the area. Ogham inscriptions from the 8th and 9th century appear to show a \"\"strong presence\"\" of non-Celtic elements, which suggests that non-Celtic Pictish was spoken at a \"\"fairly late date\"\"."

Representing the northernmost frontier barrier of the Roman Empire, it spanned approximately 63 kilometres (39 miles) and was about 3 metres (10 feet) high and 5 metres (16 feet) wide. Security was bolstered by a deep ditch on the northern side. It is thought that there was a wooden palisade on top of the turf. The barrier was the second of two \"\"great walls\"\" created by the Romans in Northern Britain. Its ruins are less evident than the better-known Hadrian's Wall to the south, primarily because the turf and wood wall has largely weathered away, unlike its stone-built southern predecessor. Construction began in AD 142 at the order of Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius, and took about 12 years to complete. Antoninus Pius never visited Britain, whereas his predecessor Hadrian did. Pressure from the Caledonians may have led Antoninus to send the empire's troops further north. The Antonine Wall was protected by 16 forts with small fortlets between them; troop movement was facilitated by a road linking all the sites known as the Military Way."

It was built by the Roman army on the orders of the emperor Hadrian following his visit to Britain in AD 122. At 73 miles (80 Roman miles) long, it crossed northern Britain from Wallsend on the River Tyne in the east to Bowness-on-Solway in the west. The most famous of all the frontiers of the Roman empire, Hadrian’s Wall was made a World Heritage Site in 1987. When was Hadrian’s Wall built?

The 500 year old republic which preceded it had been severely destabilised through a series of civil wars and political infighting in the Senate. Several events marked the transition of power from the Roman Senate to an autocratic Emperor. Julius Caesar's appointment as perpetual dictator in 44 BC after his victory over Pompey resulted in his assassination, triggering a power vacuum that led to a succession of conflicts between supporters of Caesar and the Senate. Octavian, Caesar's adopted son, defeated Mark Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC after inheriting Caesar's estates. Following Antony and Cleopatra's suicides and the annexation of the Ptolemaic Empire in 30 BC, the Roman Senate granted the honorific title Augustus to Octavian three years later in 27 BC, effectively bringing about the end of the Roman Republic.

It was a concatenation of chance and events which brought to the first position of the principate five men, each very different from the others, who each, in his own way, brought integrity and a sense of public duty to his tasks. Nerva's tenure was brief, as many no doubt had expected and hoped it would be, and perhaps his greatest achievement was to choose Trajan as his adoptive son and intended successor. It was a splendid choice. Trajan was one of Rome's most admirable figures, a man who merited the renown which he enjoyed in his lifetime and in subsequent generations. The sources for the man and his principate are disappointingly skimpy. There is no contemporaneous historian who can illuminate the period. Tacitus speaks only occasionally of Trajan, there is no biography by Suetonius, nor even one by the author of the late and largely fraudulent Historia Augusta. ("

( Jan Kraus)The Pantheon – Rome – 126 ADFreda Parker • Published on May 12, 2009 • More About Monolithic Domes A temple to all gods An ancient classic Michelangelo (1475-1564) looked at everything with an artist’s critical eye, and he was not easily impressed. But when Michelangelo first saw the Pantheon in the early 1500s, he proclaimed it of “angelic and not human design.” Surprisingly, at that point, this classic Roman temple, converted into a Christian church, was already more than 1350 years old. What’s even more surprising is that the Pantheon, in the splendor Michelangelo admired, still stands today – another 500 years after he saw it. In truth, no one knows the Pantheon’s exact age. One legend says that the first Roman citizens built the original Pantheon on the very site where the current one still stands in the Campo Marzo – modern Rome’s business district. The ancients constructed this first Pantheon after Romulus (753-716 BC), their mythological founder, ascended to heaven from that site. They dedicated it to Romulus and some of his divine ancestors and, for centuries, held rites and processions there. Most historians, however, claim that Emperor Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa built the first Pantheon in 27 BC, a rectilinear, T-shaped structure, 144 feet by 66 feet (44m x 20m), with masonry walls and a pitched timber roof."

Hadrian was one of the 5 good Roman emperors. Like Emperor Marcus Aurelius, he was influenced by the philosophy of the Stoics. He did not add to Trajan's expansion of the Roman Empire, but traveled around it. He rectified tax situations and is said to have defended the weak against the strong. He was emperor during the Bar Kochba revolt in Judaea. Family of Hadrian Hadrian was probably not from the city of Rome.

"text": "Humanities ›Religion & Spirituality Pantheon in Rome: The History Behind Its Perfect Ancient Architecture Share Flipboard Email Print Achim Thomae / Getty Imagesby Austin Cline Updated February 16, 2018Today a Christian church, the Pantheon is the best preserved of all ancient Roman buildings and has been in near-continuous use since Hadrian’s reconstruction. From a distance the Pantheon is not as awe-inspiring as other ancient monuments — the dome appears low, not much higher than surrounding buildings. Inside, the Pantheon is among the most impressive in existence. Its inscription, M·AGRIPPA·L·F·COS·TERTIUM·FECIT, means Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, consul for the third time, built this. Origin of the Pantheon in Rome The original Pantheon of Rome was built between 27 & 25 BCE, under the consulship of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa. It was dedicated to 12 gods of heaven and focused on Augustus’ cult and Romans believed that Romulus ascended to heaven from this spot. Agrippa’s structure, which was rectangular, was destroyed in 80 CE and what we see today is a reconstruction done in 118 CE under the leadership of emperor Hadrian, who even restored the original inscription on the facade. Architecture of the Pantheon The identity of the architect behind the Pantheon is unknown, but most scholars attribute it to Apollodorus of Damascus. The parts of Hadrian’s Pantheon are a columned porch (8 massive granite Corinthian columns in front, two groups of four behind), an intermediate area of brick, and finally the monumental dome. The Pantheon’s dome is the largest surviving dome from antiquity; it was also the largest dome in the world until Brunelleschi’s dome on the Duomo of Florence was completed in 1436."

"text": "Hadrian ’s Wall (known in antiquity as the Vallum Hadriani or the Vallum Aelian) is a defensive frontier work in northern Britain which dates from 122 CE. The wall ran from coast to coast at a length of 73 statute miles (120 km). Though the wall is commonly thought to have been built to mark the boundary line between Britain and Scotland, this is not so; no one knows the actual motivation behind its construction but it does not delineate a boundary between the two countries. While the wall did simply mark the northern boundary of the Roman Empire in Britain at the time, theories regarding the purpose of such a massive building project range from limiting immigration, to controlling smuggling, to keeping the indigenous people at bay north of the wall. Its military effectiveness has been questioned by many scholars over the years owing to its length and the positioning of the fortifications along the route. Regarding this, Professors Scarre and Fagan write,Archaeologists and historians have long debated whether Hadrian’s Wall was an effective military barrier…Whatever its military effectiveness, however, it was clearly a powerful symbol of Roman military might. The biographer of Hadrian remarks that the emperor built the wall to separate the Romans from the barbarians. In the same way, the Chinese emperors built the Great Wall to separate China from the barbarous steppe peoples to the north. In both cases, in addition to any military function, the physical barriers served in the eyes of their builders to reinforce the conceptual divide between civilized and noncivilized. They were part of the ideology of empire. ("

[ 5] A member of the monitor lizard family Varanidae, it is the largest living species of lizard, growing to a maximum length of 3 metres (10 ft) in rare cases and weighing up to approximately 70 kilograms (150 lb). [ 5]Their unusually large size has been attributed to island gigantism, since no other carnivorous animals fill the niche on the islands where they live. [ 6] [7] However, recent research suggests the large size of Komodo dragons may be better understood as representative of a relict population of very large varanid lizards that once lived across Indonesia and Australia, most of which, along with other megafauna, died out after the Pleistocene (likely as a result of human activity). [ 1] Fossils very similar to V. komodoensis have been found in Australia dating to greater than 3.8 million years ago, and its body size remained stable on Flores, one of the handful of Indonesian islands where it is currently found, over the last 900,000 years, \"\"a time marked by major faunal turnovers, extinction of the island's megafauna, and the arrival of early hominids by 880 ka [kiloannums].\"\" [1]As a result of their size, these lizards dominate the ecosystems in which they live. [ 8] Komodo dragons hunt and ambush prey including invertebrates, birds, and mammals. It has been claimed that they have a venomous bite; there are two glands in the lower jaw which secrete several toxic proteins. The biological significance of these proteins is disputed, but the glands have been shown to secrete an anticoagulant. Komodo dragon group behaviour in hunting is exceptional in the reptile world."

History [ edit]Komodo National Park was established in 1980 and was declared a World Heritage Site and a Man and Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1986, both indications of the Park's biological importance. The park was initially established to conserve the unique Komodo Dragon and its habitat, first discovered in 1910. Since then conservation goals have expanded to protecting its entire biodiversity, both marine and terrestrial. The majority of the people in and around the Park are fishermen originally from Bima on the island of Sumbawa, and from Manggarai, South Flores, and South Sulawesi."

The offspring produced by parthenogenesis almost always are female in species where the XY chromosome system determines gender. Parthenogenesis occurs naturally in some species, including most lower plant s, a Kalanchoe succulent plant genus of South Africa, invertebrate s (e.g. water flea s, aphid s, some bee s, some scorpion species, and parasitic wasp s), and vertebrate s (e.g. some reptile s, fish, and, very rarely, bird s and shark s) and this type of reproduction has been induced artificially in other species. The term is sometimes used inaccurately to describe reproduction modes in hermaphroditic species which can reproduce by themselves because they contain reproductive organs of both genders."

( Jon Bower/Loop Images/Corbis)By Victoria Jaggardsmithsonian.com September 22, 2014Even though Scotland voted last week to remain a part of the United Kingdom and not become an independent country, one symbol of Scottish pride holds strong: the national animal, the unicorn. While selecting a mythical animal as your patriotic mascot may seem odd, the choice has historic context. The unicorn has been used in Scottish heraldic symbols since the 12th century, and it was combined with the English lion on the royal coat of arms when the two kingdoms merged. According to the CIA World Factbook, there are no strict rules for choosing a national animal—it can be any creature “that over time has come to be closely identified with a country or entity”. Not all nations have official animals, and some have multiple options, including a few countries that have mythical beasts in addition to real ones. That got us wondering: What other unusual animals are dutifully representing countries around the world? Here are a few favorites:1 of 10Komodo dragon (Indonesia) (Joe Mc Donald/Corbis)While China and Vietnam have mystical dragons among their national emblems, only Indonesia can say it has the real deal.

It evolved in isolation, surviving only on Indonesian islands—Komodo, Flores, Gil Motang, Padar, and Rinca. As its environment’s apex predator, it evolved tremendous size and strength, looking like a monster taken right out of mythology. There is still something almost unbelievable about the scale of these beasts. We have only just begun to learn about this mysterious creature, and the island of Komodo may yet yield more secrets.10 Inspiration For King Kong Photo credit: Turner Entertainment Merian C. Cooper conceived of King Kong as the story of a giant gorilla on a prehistoric island, and he imagined the film ending with the beast on top of the Empire State Building. He didn’t know, however, how to get from the premise to the climax—until he turned to Douglas Burden and his Komodo dragons. Burden was known for capturing live Komodo dragons and bringing them to New York. The first two living dragons that made it back to the United States did not survive long. Cooper blamed civilized society for the deaths of the dragons in the zoo, and he decided he wanted his furry monster to similarly get captured, be showcased, and die. This doesn’t mean the filmmakers were huge advocates of animal welfare."

"text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Animals and Nature The Komodo Dragon, the World's Largest Lizard Share Flipboard Email Print Getty Imagesby Bob Strauss Updated October 12, 2017The Komodo dragon ( Varanus komodoensis) is the largest lizard, as opposed to reptile, on the face of the earth today, adults attaining lengths of six to 10 feet and weights approaching 150 pounds. Full-grown Komodo dragons are dull brown, dark grey, or reddish in color, while juveniles are green with yellow and black stripes. These lizards are the apex predators of their Indonesian island ecosystems; they occasionally capture live prey by hiding in vegetation and ambushing their victims, although they usually prefer to scavenge already-dead animals. ( In fact, the giant size of the Komodo dragon can be explained by its island ecosystem: like the long-extinct Dodo Bird, this lizard has no natural predators. ) Komodo dragons have good vision and adequate hearing, but rely mostly on their acute sense of smell to detect potential prey; these lizards are also equipped with long, yellow, deeply-forked tongues and sharp serrated teeth, and their rounded snouts, strong limbs and muscular tails also come in handy when targeting their dinners. ( Not to mention when dealing with others of their own kind: when Komodo dragons encounter one another in the wild, the dominant individual, usually the largest male, prevails.) Hungry Komodo dragons have been known to run at speeds topping 10 miles per hour, at least for short stretches, making them some of the fastest lizards on the planet!The Komodo dragon mating season spans the months of July and August. In September, the females dig egg chambers, in which they lay clutches of up to 30 eggs. The mom-to-be covers her eggs with leaves and then lies over the nest to warm the eggs until they hatch, which requires an unusually long gestation period of seven or eight months. The newborn hatchlings are vulnerable to predation by birds, mammals, and even adult Komodo dragons; for this reason the young scamper up into trees, where an arboreal lifestyle provides them refuge from their natural enemies until they are large enough to defend themselves."

"text": "\"Sia is pop's stealth star: She hides her face, rarely performs and is about to hit No. 1Jim Farber NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Sunday, July 13, 2014, 2:00 AMfacebook Tweet email Sia has taken pains to avoid promotion, even wearing a paper bag. Nonetheless, she's also made a name for herself writing hits for others. Pop’s latest breakthrough star got there while playing hard to get. The singer/songwriter known as Sia won’t show her face in recent press photos, instead serving up shots of herself with a paper bag over her head. The cover of her new album, “1000 Forms of Fear,” pictures her as a disembodied blond bob. Sia, 38, also rarely gives interviews and even less frequently performs. When she does sing in public, as on a recent episode of “Ellen,” she did so with her back to the audience. Despite all this, Sia’s new single, “Chandelier,” leapt into the Top 20 this week, and, on Wednesday, her album, “1000 Forms of Fear,” is predicted to debut at No. 1."

So all these people that threaten to leave the country and then don’t — I actually will leave that country.” - Chelsea Handler (AP Photo) more >Print By Valerie Richardson - The Washington Times - Thursday, November 10, 2016Miley Cyrus, Chelsea Handler and Amy Schumer now have a different message after vowing to leave the country if Republican Donald Trump won the presidency: Never mind. The comedian Handler, who said in May that she had bought a house “in another country just in case,” reversed course Thursday, explaining that she plans to stick around for the good of the nation. “Yesterday my staff reminded me that voices and platforms like mine are needed more than ever; leaving the country is quitting #keepfightin,” said Ms. Handler on Twitter. In an interview six months ago on “Live with Kelly and Michael,” however, Ms. Handler said, “So all these people that threaten to leave the country and then don’t—I really will leave that country. ”Meanwhile, the comedian Schumer dismissed Tuesday her pre-election comment on BBC about moving to Europe, saying it was made “in jest,” and blasted those calling for her to take a hike. “Anyone saying pack your bags is just as disgusting as anyone who voted for this racist homophobic openly disrespectful woman abuser,” said Ms. Schumer in a post on Instagram. Ms. Cyrus, who said on Instagram in March that “I am moving if he is president” and “I don’t say things I don’t mean,” posted messages on social media indicating that she would accept Mr. Trump as president. “If we want Donald Trump to accept us … we must be accepting towards his presidency & his promise to ‘unify’ our country and ‘make America great,’” said the pop singer, a judge on NBC-TV’s “The Voice,” in an Instagram post Wednesday."

Photo by Mark Schafer/HBOHannah Horvath, the central character of HBO’s Girls who is played by the show’s creator Lena Dunham, is one of the most self-involved, immature people on television. Although theoretically independent, she still relies on her parents for support—albeit less explicitly these days than in earlier seasons—and, as we’ve seen in the last few episodes, she’s still oblivious to some basic realities of adult life. She seems unaware, for example, that it’s a bad idea for a teacher at a private school to befriend one of her teenage pupils, and she sees no problem with heading off-campus to get a piercing with Cleo, her new bestie-slash-student, and texts the kid all weekend about her personal problems. In Sunday’s episode, though, Hannah displayed surprising maturity when confronted with surprising news about her father’s sexuality. Last week, Hannah’s dad, Tad, told his wife, Lorena, that he is gay. The realization came after a productive couples therapy session and on the heels of Lorena getting tenure at the university where they both work. At the end of the episode, Lorena blurted out the news to Hannah in a telephone call, and last night, Tad visited his daughter in New York."

"text": "\"Book Publishing 101 Author Finances How Much Money Does An Author Make? Share Flip Pin Share Email•••By Valerie Peterson Updated April 06, 2018How much can an author make? That question comes up a lot and the answer varies greatly — like, from about $0 (or even losing money) to millions of dollars. But understanding a bit about how authors are paid can help with gaining some insight into what the book bottom line can be. The author's investment in his or her own book Authors spend many long hours researching, developing, writing, and re-writing their books — and there is a cost associated with time. Some books require an actual monetary investment by the author — for example, in travel for research or, in the case of cookbook authors, money spent on ingredients for recipe testing and the cost of photographing food. The type of book the author writes affects the income potential. Novel or non-fiction? Current (and easily dated) or evergreen (and a perennial backlist selection). A fictional character whose adventures run to many books or a non-fiction topic that \"\"backlists\"\" increases the income potential for an author."

That sounds about right. ”But they would be wrong. In fact, the Coolest Person franchise, which is the kind of attention-grabbing journalistic endeavor you’d think would get someone a raise, is now officially a group endeavor. To pick the 2012 winner, I assembled what I call the League of the Year, which consists of people who were named the most something of the year. It is by definition the most superlative group ever assembled, and it’s now at my disposal. The devil wants to bowl me for my soul? I’ve got Bowler of the Year ESPY winner Sean Rash. I need to solve a quadratic equation? I’ll call National Teacher of the Year Rebecca Mieliwocki."

Today, Girls writer and star Lena Dunham posted on Instagram her \"\"Trump Diet.\"\" Dunham, a liberal stalwart, was facetiously remarking on how difficult she's found eating since the November election. Her tone is clearly joking, but tucked in the third entry is a shout out to baby food, an infamous celebrity diet trend.

Last summer, Camila Alves credited her flat stomach to two meals of baby food each day. She eats a more sensible dinner—a protein, black beans, and vegetables — but the actress and co-founder of baby food company Yummy Spoonfuls says she supplements her nutritional needs all day with pouches of squeezable food. Designer Hedi Slimane admitted to living on a diet of baby food to keep his super-slim physique, too. What is the baby food diet?"

"title": "http://literarydevices.net/theme/\nTheme",
"text": "Theme Definition of Theme Theme is defined as a main idea or an underlying meaning of a literary work, which may be stated directly or indirectly. Major and Minor Themes Major and minor themes are two types of themes that appear in literary works. A major theme is an idea that a writer repeats in his literary work, making it the most significant idea in the work. A minor theme, on the other hand, refers to an idea that appears in a work briefly, giving way to another minor theme. Examples of theme in Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” are matrimony, love, friendship, and affection. The whole narrative revolves around the major theme of matrimony. Its minor themes are love, friendship, affectation etc. Difference Between a Theme and a Subject It is important not to confuse a theme of a literary work with its subject. Subject is a topic that acts as a foundation for a literary work, while a theme is an opinion expressed on the subject. For example, a writer may choose a subject of war for his story, and the theme may be his personal opinion that war is a curse for humanity."

"text": "How Much Land Does a Man Need? by Leo Tolstoy August 3, 2015 By Seth Rose Tweet We live in a world filled with consumerism and a desire for material goods. Although we tend to think of this as solely a modern problem, men have always sought more resources than what they have, let alone need. Tolstoy seeks to explore this concept in ‘ How Much Land Does a Man Need?’The story begins with two sisters arguing. One lives in town, the other in the countryside. The sister from the town begins to make a hubbub of her life in town: The clothes, their home, food and drink. The other sister responds: We may live roughly, but at least we are free from anxiety. You live in better style than we do, but though you often earn more than you need, you are very likely to lose all you have. You know the proverb, ‘Loss and gain are brothers twain.’ It often happens that people who are wealthy one day are begging their bread the next."

"text": "Great authors who didn’t win a Nobel Prize for unlikely reasons Posted on March 5, 2014 by Kainzow I used to believe that the Nobel Prize Winner was the supreme award an author can aspire to receive. I was wrong. Nobel Prizes in Literature are not solely awarded on the basis of a glimmering career ; a wide range of criteria needs to be satisfied as well. If up to 1912,the juries were scrupulously following Alfred Nobel’s will that idealism should be rewarded,as of 1913,they were more open but more biased. Articles enumerating the authors snubbed by the Nobel Prize aren’t that hard to find over the net; however I had to go in the realms of the web to find out why the authors below weren’t awarded the much-coveted Prize. I hope you will learn from this post as much as I did from writing it.1. Leo Tolstoy Notable Works: Anna Karenina,War and Peace,A Confession Reasons : In his report to the Academy,the chairman of the Nobel Committee said that while he admired “immortal creations” like War and Peace and Anna Karenina, he could not condone Tolstoy’s social and political theories, nor his presumption in rewriting the New Testament “in a half mystical, half rationalistic spirit,” nor, finally, his denial to both nations and individuals of the right of self-defence. Still,Leo Tolstoy was the one who laid the foundation stone for many other authors; Woolf,Flaubert,Chekov,Joyce,Faulkner,Proust and Nabokov all regarded him as the greatest of all novelists. For that reason alone he deserved a Nobel Prize,but sadly,his recognition by those modern authors came well after his death.2. William Somerset Maugham Notable Works: The Painted Veil, Of Human Bondage, The Moon and Sixpence Reasons: He was deemed ‘too popular and undistinguished’."

"text": "\"War and Peace Search Advanced Search Introduction First published in 1869Translated by friends and biographers of Tolstoy, Aylmer Maude (1858-1938) and Louise Maude (1855–1939)Epic historical novel by Leo Tolstoy, originally published as Voyna i mir in 1865-69. This panoramic study of early 19th-century Russian society, noted for its mastery of realistic detail and variety of psychological analysis, is generally regarded as one of the world's greatest novels. War and Peace is primarily concerned with the histories of five aristocratic families--particularly the Bezukhovs, the Bolkonskys, and the Rostovs--the members of which are portrayed against a vivid background of Russian social life during the war against Napoleon (1805-14). The theme of war, however, is subordinate to the story of family existence, which involves Tolstoy's optimistic belief in the life-asserting pattern of human existence. The novel also sets forth a theory of history, concluding that there is a minimum of free choice; all is ruled by an inexorable historical determinism. I read War and Peace as I travelled on the Trans-Siberian Express five years ago. Totally appropriate to read while passing through areas to which Moscow dissidents fled and who are mentioned by Tolstoy.--Submitted by Anonymous It starts in beautiful Russia, with Anna. A maid. You will love the characters and everything about it. I am only a kid and I love it."

Nearing's grandfather, Winfield Scott Nearing, had arrived in Tioga County with his family in 1864, at the age of 35, when he accepted a job as a civil and mining engineer. Before the end of the year he had assumed full control of mining operations as the superintendent of the Morris Run Coal Company, a position of authority which he held for the remainder of his working life. [ 1] An intense, driven man, Scott Nearing's grandfather studied science and nature, practiced gardening and carpentry, and regularly received crates of books from New York City, amassing a large personal library. [ 2] In his memoirs written late in his life, Scott Nearing would recall his grandfather as one of the four most influential figures in his life. [ 3] Nearing's upbringing was that of a young bourgeois, his mother employing a part-time tutor and two Polish servants to clean the gleaming white house atop a hill overlooking the town. [ 4] Scott's brother recalled that the citizens of Morris Run had treated the handsome and intelligent Scott \"\"the way they would treat the heir to the nobleman.... They all treated him with awe.\"\" [ 4]Nearing's father was a small businessman and stockbroker, his mother a vigorous, energetic, and idealistic woman whom Nearing later credited with instilling in him an appreciation for the higher things in life: nature, books, and the arts. [ 5] Despite an upbringing in a life of privilege made possible in no small measure by the harsh anti-union policies of his patriarchal grandfather, [6] young Scott nevertheless developed a social conscience, which one of his biographers describes as \"\"a burr under his skin that none of his relatives acquired and that no interpretation satisfactorily explains.\"\" ["

A century on, he is still one of the most acclaimed, respected – and popular – writers and thinkers in the world. “Simply put, his works have stood the test of time,” explains Donna Tussing Orwin, Professor of Slavic literature at the University of Toronto and editor of Anniversary Essays on Tolstoy. “ Generation after generation, readers keep on reading them – and among other things, it’s amazing how many writers credit Tolstoy with inspiring them. He found new ways to represent the inner experience of individuals so that readers both recognized themselves in his writing and also learnt things about themselves that they hadn’t known before. ”Amy Mandelker, who wrote the introduction to the new Oxford University Press edition of War and Peace, adds: “He is, like Shakespeare, a writer ‘for all times.’ He was a towering figure in pacifist philosophy and non-violent political resistance at the opening of the last century, and he influenced major figures like Mohatma Ghandi. But these are not the reasons we continue to read him."

': Tolstoy Struggles to Narrate the Self”Tolstoy’s first diary, started on March 17, 1847, at the age of eighteen, began as a clinical investigation launched under laboratory conditions: in the isolation of a hospital ward, where he was being treated for a venereal disease. A student at Kazan University, he was about to drop out due to lack of academic progress. In the clinic, freed from external influences, the young man planned to “enter into himself” for intense self-exploration ( vzoiti sam v sebia ; 46:3). On the first page, he wrote (then crossed out) that he was in complete agreement with Rousseau on the advantages of solitude. This act of introspection had a moral goal: to exert control over his runaway life. Following a well-established practice, the young Tolstoy approached the diary as an instrument of self-perfection. But this was not all. For the young Tolstoy, keeping a diary (as I hope to show) was also an experimental project aimed at exploring the nature of self: the links connecting a sense of self, a moral ideal, and the temporal order of narrative. From the very beginning there were problems."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This article is about the concept popularised by Mahatma Gandhi. For the general usage of the term, see Self-governance. For other uses, see Swaraj (disambiguation). Dayanand Saraswati Swarāj ( Hindi: स्वराज swa- \"\"self\"\", raj \"\"rule\"\") can mean generally self-governance or \"\"self-rule\"\", and was used synonymously with \"\"home-rule\"\" by Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati and later on by Mahatma Gandhi, [1] but the word usually refers to Gandhi's concept for Indian independence from foreign domination. [ 2] Swaraj lays stress on governance, not by a hierarchical government, but by self governance through individuals and community building. The focus is on political decentralisation. [ 3] Since this is against the political and social systems followed by Britain, Gandhi's concept of Swaraj advocated India's discarding British political, economic, bureaucratic, legal, military, and educational institutions. [ 4] S. Satyamurti, Chittaranjan Das and Motilal Nehru were among a contrasting group of Swarajists who laid the foundation for parliamentary democracy in India. Although Gandhi's aim of totally implementing the concepts of Swaraj in India was not achieved, the voluntary work organisations which he founded for this purpose did serve as precursors and role models for people's movements, voluntary organisations, and some of the non-governmental organisations that were subsequently launched in various parts of India. [ 5] The student movement against oppressive local and central governments, led by Jayaprakash Narayan, and the Bhoodan movement, which presaged demands for land reform legislation throughout India, and which ultimately led to India's discarding of the Zamindari system of land tenure and social organisation, were also inspired by the ideas of Swaraj."

"text": "Writing the World: Leo Tolstoy and 'War and Peace'A new six-part film adaptation of 'War and Peace' simulcasts on A&E, Lifetime, and the History Channel starting today. Here is the story behind one of the greatest novels ever written. Joe Mc Gasko Jan 17, 201672SHARESLeo Tolstoy. ( Photo: Hulton Archive/Getty Images)Russian novelists have never been noted for their brevity or narrow scope. Like the country itself, classic Russian novels are expansive in theme, full of incident, and packed with characters, many of whom have names that would give a census taker nightmares. But if there could be said to be one Russian novel that humbles them all in its sprawling glory, the king of the hill would unquestionably be Leo Tolstoy ’s War and Peace. Legendary as a work of literature and often regarded as a mountain to be climbed by intrepid readers, War and Peace indicates by its very title that it is a book that doesn’t pretend to be anything but monumental. Totaling anywhere between 560,000 and 590,000 words (depending on the translation), featuring over 135 characters, and covering a period of more than a decade, War and Peace essentially defines the notion of epic. Most novels have one or two main characters; War and Peace has close to a dozen. War and Peace even toys with the limits of the novel itself, conflating real history with fiction and adding academic essays to the text."

Montblanc chose well in honoring this special man, philosopher, but mostly, extraordinary writer. Tolstoy is best known for his novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina but he also contributed notable works in the spiritual and religious realms including A Kingdom of God is Within You and Resurrection. His writings have not only influenced generations of readers but also instrumental leaders of change including Mahatma Ghandi and Martin Luther King Jr. Much of Tolstoy’s work is “art imitating life”. His early books reflect his life as an aristocrat living in a society of excesses and a soldier serving in a violent war. While his later writings reflect his conversion to a religious man, leading the life of a christian anarchist and pacifist; a man wanting to give up everything material and striving to remove violence from society and his own day to day existence. As Tolstoy grew as a writer, he changed as a man and his life came to imitate his art. Anyone who has read his significant body of work will understand Montblanc’s decision to pay tribute to this remarkable man with this amazing limited edition pen!October 12th, 2015 | Tags: Leo Tolstoy pen, Montblanc, Montblanc Leo Tolstoy, Montblanc Pens, Montblanc Writer's Edition Pens | Category: Fountain Pens, Gifts, Gifts for Dads & Grads, Pens | Leave a comment"

He used his writing ability to express this insight. At an early age he experienced the death of his father, mother, grandmother, and his favorite aunt. He lived with another aunt and a cousin from which he began to enjoy life. He then inherited the family's land and then went on to write books while serving in the Russian Army. After the war he married and settled down and went on to write his two most famous pieces; War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Tolstoy went through a spiritual disparagement which made him regret the publication of these two novels. Tolstoy began writing parables and focusing on morals in a fictionalized way.

Just what do we know about this celebrated Renaissance man of mystery? Ser Piero di Vinci didn't know what to do about his son, Leonardo. He had reached the point in life where young men needed to prepare for a career. Ser Piero himself was an important official - a notary. This line of work would be closed to Leonardo. His birth had been the result of a romantic tryst with a peasant girl, too low a class for Ser Piero to consider marrying. Because the boy was illegitimate, the guild of magistrates and notaries would not accept him,. nor would he be allowed to attend the university. The boy did show a definite talent for drawing, however, perhaps he could be apprenticed to an artist…This is how young Leonardo da Vinci started on his career in art, a career in which he would create some of the most famous paintings in the world, including perhaps the most-widely recognized and most highly valuable painting of all time, the Mona Lisa."

Millions of people around the world are preparing to celebrate Easter. Easter is the celebration of Jesus' resurrection, and one of the most famous images from that story is Leonardo da Vinci's \"\"The Last Supper.\"\" It's an iconic Renaissance masterpiece that's been praised, studied, and copied for over 500 years. Against all odds, the painting still lingers on the wall of the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan. Da Vinci began the work in 1495 or 1496 and completed it around 1498. It depicts a famous scene from Holy Thursday, in which Jesus and his Apostles sharing a final meal before his death and resurrection. During the dinner, Jesus revealed that one of his disciples would betray him and hand him over to the authorities for execution (spoiler alert: It was Judas, who da Vinci depicts as spilling salt on the table, as part of some Renaissance pun).

"text": "\"Leonardo's Last Supperbooking tickets booking group toursbooking private tour A bit of history about the Leonardo's Last Supper The Last Supper of Leonardo da Vinci (Cenacolo Vinciano) is one of the most famous paintings in the world. This artwork was painted between 1494 and 1498 under the government of Ludovico il Moro and represents the last \"\"dinner\"\" between Jesus and his disciples. In order to create this unique work, Leonardo carried out an exhaustive research creating an infinity of preparatory sketches. Leonardo abandons the traditional method of fresco painting, painting the scene \"\"dry\"\" on the wall of the refectory. Traces of gold and silver foils have been found which testify to the artist's willingness to make the figures in a much more realistic manner, including precious details. After completion, his technique and environmental factor had contributed to the eventual deterioration of the fresco, which had undergone numerous restorations. The most recent restoration was completed in 1999 where several scientific methods were used to restore the original colors as close as possible, and to eliminate traces of paint applied in previous attempts to restore the fresco. What is the Leonardo's Last Supper nowadays? Leonardo’s Last Supper is located in its original place, on the wall of the dining room of the former Dominican convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie, exactly in the refectory of the convent and is one of the most celebrated and well known artworks in the world. Leonardo Da Vinci's \"\"Last Supper\"\", a huge painting of 4.60 meters high and 8.80 meters wide was made with tempera and oil on a gypsum preparation instead of the technique commonly used in the fresco period."

Steps: 5 Steps Difficulty: Advanced Important Tools: N/AStep 1 - Introduction There are many things that make up a piece of art. However in order to make a piece of art into a masterpiece, there are several components that it must have. One of these components is a focal point. Definition Focus: “a. a center of activity, attraction, or attention b: a point of concentration”The focal point is the center of a piece of art. By center I don’t mean literally center (although in many cases it is) but rather the most important part or parts of a piece. For example, if one were making an image of a bird sitting on a tree, the bird would probably be the focal point. Why is the focal point important? Without a focal point, a spectator will lose interest quickly because he does not know where to look and what part is the most interesting. It may sound silly but it is the truth."

Da Vinci is considered to be a true Renaissance man. He was skilled in many subjects, and is respected because of his achievements. He helped pioneer the sciences, developed new art techniques, and was one of the first people to dissect the human body. Da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452 in Vinci, Italy. His father was a public notary in Milan, and his mother, a simple maiden. When Leonardo was little, he would always try to invent new things, he was very intelligent. At the age of 14, he became an apprentice to one of the best painters at the time, Andrea del Verrocchio. Under Verrocchio, he learned how to paint and sculpt. He also learned skills in metallurgy, drafting, chemistry, and carpentry."

"text": "\"Leonardo da Vinci How do we know Leonardo was gay? When he was twenty-four years old, Leonardo was arrested, along with several young companions, on the charge of sodomy. No witnesses appeared against them and eventually the charges were dropped. It must be said that often anonymous charges like this were brought against people just for a nuisance. Renaissance Florentines didn't make the distinctions we make about sexuality today and apparently it was common for young men to get into sexual relationships; in fact, the word \"\"Florenzer\"\" was German slang for \"\"homosexual\"\". Leonardo had no relationships with women, never married, had no children, and raised many young protégés, including one nicknamed \"\"Salai\"\" which means \"\"offspring of Satan\"\", a sketch of whom is shown below. Salai stole things, broke things, lied, and was generally a, well, devil; if he were a mere student or servant he would have been fired. It's not hard to see how this imp would be attractive to Leonardo. He stayed with Leonardo for over twenty years, and appears many times in Leonardo's sketchbooks. Leonardo's friend Machiavelli, the Florentine statesman who is famous for his advocacy of unscrupulous political opportunism, had a son, Ludovico, who apparently had a boyfriend."

"text": "\"Articles Weird World 6 Mind-Blowing Discoveries We Just Made About Famous Art6 Mind-Blowing Discoveries We Just Made About Famous Art Facebook Twitter Google Plus Add to Favorites By Carmen Burana · July 23, 201421880540Let's face it: Most of us don't know what the big deal is about great works of art, other than that they were created by famous artists (which is kind of circuitous logic). What's so special about the \"\"Mona Lisa,\"\" anyway? Well, part of it is that the more we study these centuries-old paintings, the more weird shit we discover -- about the past, about the artists, and about how the human brain works. For example, we just recently figured out that ...6 Portraits Usually Show the Left Side of the Face Due to a Weird Brain Bias Mateo Cerezo As far as the sheer number of existing pictorial depictions goes, the crucifixion of Jesus comes in second only to that crude penis that every male knows how to draw by age 6. Over the entire 2,000-year span of people busily jotting down this grisly spectacle, one thing has remained eerily consistent: Jesus is almost always shown with his face turned to the right, exposing his left cheek. Meister des Rabula-Evangeliums Masaccio Salvador Dali Spoiler: He dies at the end.↓ Continue Reading Below Advertisement If you think it's because artists were always trying to hide Jesus' secret face tattoo, you should know that this phenomenon comes up in most paintings, and nobody was ever sure why. It turns out it's due to brain weirdness. Sam Kean, author of The Tale of the Dueling Neurosurgeons, studied this weird phenomenon. He says that if the choice of which side to depict was totally random, we would find that gallery collections have roughly a third of all portraits facing straight forward, a third facing to the left, and a third facing to the right (obviously). However, studies show that this isn't the case -- about 60 percent of subjects sit with their left cheek facing the viewer, their left eye practically in the middle of the painting."

A whole lot of creative remembering went into the production of the man who died and came back. -Jon T. Coleman, Notre Dame Historian, History Buff.com, 2015Questioning the Story: Was the real Hugh Glass a fur trapper? Yes. The Revenant true story confirms that this is one of the few facts about Hugh Glass that we do know for sure. He was a frontiersman and fur trapper. In 1823, he signed up for an expedition backed by General William Henry Ashley and Major Andrew Henry, who together founded the Rocky Mountain Fur Company in 1822 (Henry is portrayed by Domhnall Gleeson in The Revenant ). Ashley had placed an ad in the Missouri Gazette & Public Advertiser in search of \"\"enterprising young men.\"\" It was during this fur-trapping expedition that Hugh Glass was attacked by a grizzly bear, an event that turned Glass's story into Frontier legend. How much of the legend is true is uncertain, as the story was often embellished with each retelling."

"text": "\"Lifestyle, Mindset What Makes A Renaissance Man? March 1, 2015 by Peter - 10 Comments When you hear the word “ Renaissance Man ”, the first name that usually pops up in a person’s head is that of Leonardo da Vinci. Da Vinci is the epitome of the Renaissance humanist ideal. He was not only an outstanding painter, but also an engineer, inventor, scientist, and philosopher. Leonardo was born the illegitimate son of a wealthy legal notary in Florence. His father kept on changing women, usually marrying women way younger than himself (including a 16 year old and a 20 year old), however he did take care of his little son as well. At 14, Leonardo became an apprentice in the studio of the painter Verrocchio. This apprenticeship is one of the main reasons why da Vinci became the man that he became. It set him on the path to becoming the ideal Renaissance Man. When thinking of a painter’s studio, most people will picture some brushes and a canvas, but a Renaissance painting studio was much more than that."

It was written by Allen, Iyiola Babalola and Darren Lewis, while sampling The Soul Brothers ' \"\"Free Soul\"\". The song was released as the lead mainstream single of the album in July 2006. After signing a contract deal with Regal Recordings and gaining popularity on the social network website Myspace with demo songs, Allen released a limited edition of \"\" LDN \"\" to promote her work and afterwards announced the release of \"\"Smile\"\". The song incorporates rocksteady music, as the lyrics tackle her dealing with the betrayal of her boyfriend, while enjoying his misery. Most contemporary critics complimented the song, noticing the confidence it hides and the carnival-esque, yet melancholy, theme. On the other hand, some considered it was not one of the album's best tracks and it makes the singer a \"\"theoretical pop princess \"\". The single peaked inside the top 40 of the charts of some European countries and Australia, while staying on the summit of the UK Singles Chart for two consecutive weeks and ended the year as the country's 11th most successful song. It is also charted on the U. S. Billboard Hot 100, where it was certified gold. For promotion, \"\"Smile\"\" was re-recorded in Simlish and played on shows; it also received its own answer song."

"text": "\"“Hound Dog” on ’56 Berle Show Was Elvis's Top R&R Moment The King of Rock ’n’ roll obviously had many notable rock ’n’ roll moments during his career, but Elvis Presley’s single most significant musical performance came on June 5, 1956, when he appeared on Milton Berle’s nationally televised variety show. His sexually-charged rendition of “Hound Dog” that evening and the virulent condemnation of it that flowed from the press and the pulpit, pushed Presley to the forefront in the cultural battle for the hearts of minds of teenagers in the mid-fifties. By early June 1956, the nation certainly knew who Elvis Presley was. He already had appeared on national TV seven times, including an earlier appearance on Milton Berle’s show on April 3. His personal appearances across the country had begun to draw huge crowds along with criticism from local and national press outlets. After the June 5 Berle show, however, Presley’s profile exploded. His role as a polarizing figure expanded. He attracted larger crowds and defenders on one hand and more increasingly inflamed critics on the other. Several factors made Presley’s second performance on the Milton Berle Show different from his previous TV appearances. First, there was the decision to perform “Hound Dog” on the show."

MICHAEL LAFLEUR Citizen Staff Writer Tucson police say they believe the death of silver screen legend Rex Allen Sr. yesterday was a horrible accident. A long time family friend, who was driving Allen’s car, backed over him in the driveway of his Near East Side home, in the 3000 block of N. Hill Farm Drive about 11 a.m., said Sgt. Judy Altieri, a Tucson Police Department spokeswoman. The woman, who was taking Allen to a doctor’s appointment, apparently did not see him as she was pulling Allen’s Cadillac out of his garage, apparently with the intention of calling him to the car, Altieri said. Police are investigating whether he may have stumbled or been overcome by a medical condition before being run over, she said. ”There is evidence that leads us to believe that he may have collapsed or fallen down prior to being run over rather than being knocked down by the impact of the vehicle and then run over,” Altieri said. Allen, 79, was taken to Tucson Medical Center after being pulled from beneath his car, Altieri said. He died at 5:20 p.m. Allen starred in nearly 50 movies, narrated 150 Walt Disney specials and often starred in commercials."

As Lily Allen claims pop stars don’t get paid enough, we examine the economics of today’s music industry Jessie J is in bed with Vitamin Water Photo: Planet Photos By Harry Wallop6:30AM BST 07 May 2014Follow The death of the pop music industry has been predicted for years – and certainly since Apple launched a whizzy device called an i Pod back in 2001. The rise of free or pirated music online and the declining sales of CDs has at the same time been wielded as a cautionary tale about the power of the internet. Still, this week’s comments by Lily Allen may finally confirm that any aspiring rock guitarists or pop singers might as well pack away their dreams and find a proper job.“ Everyone assumes I made millions from the John Lewis ad. I probably made £8,000 ,” said the singer, whose cover of Keane’s Somewhere Only We Know made it to Number One last year. It was played incessantly on the radio, and – of course – the television, as the soundtrack to John Lewis’s Christmas advert, featuring an animated love story between a bear and a hare. Allen, who took a four-year break to bring up her children, has claimed that pop stars now make most of their money from turning up to awards ceremonies and product events. “ There are the snobby launches of a new water at Claridge’s.

Ward Keeter Stuart, great nephew of Stan Jones An impressionable 12 year old rode to the top of an Arizona hill one afternoon with an old cowboy friend by the name of Cap Watts to check a windmill quite a ways out of town. A big storm was building and they needed to lock the blades down before the wind hit. When finished, they paused to watch the clouds darken and spread across the sky. As lightning flashed, Cap told the boy to watch closely and he would see the Devil's Herd, their eyes red and hooves flashing, stampede ahead of phantom horsemen. Cap warned the youth that if he didn't watch himself, he would someday be up there with them, chasing steers for all eternity. The terrified boy jumped on his horse and took off for the the safety of home. Years later, he recalled that scary, dark afternoon and on his 34th birthday, Stan Jones sat outside his Death Valley home and wrote \"\" (Ghost) Riders in the Sky.\"\" ( This is probably the closest to the truth.

"text": "BBC i Wonder Could you learn to sing Calon Lân in 30 minutes? Open navigator What does the first verse mean? Wynne Evans holds up the words to the first line of Calon Lân. It's important to understand the meaning of the song, as you'll be better placed to remember the Welsh words if you know what you're singing about. The first verse of Calon Lân starts off by dismissing worldly goods like a life of luxury - bywyd moethus - and shuns the riches of this world with its fine pearls - berlau mân. It ends by asking for a happy, honest and pure heart - '... am galon hapus (happy), calon onest (honest), calon lân (pure)'. If you can remember the word calon, then you've practically nailed the last two lines already!The symbol over the letter 'a' in mân and lân is important, as it shows that the 'a' is long. So, mân is pronounced more like 'maahn' than the English word 'man'. The letter 'u' in Welsh is pronounced like a short 'i' in the words moethus and hapus – they rhyme with the word kiss. When you see the combination of ‘au’ together, it’s pronounced like the English word eye."

"text": "\"Lincoln's Changing Views on Slavery Amber Dillon Unity Point School District #140, Carbondale Abraham Lincoln's views on slavery were formed by the times and places in which he was raised and during which he served his country. Slavery was a recognized institution in the United States throughout Lincoln's formative years. Lincoln's personal feelings about blacks and about slavery actually were quite constant over time. His political positions and actions regarding slavery changed as the national political situation changed. Lincoln initially recognized that slavery was a bad institution but one that was accepted and necessary for the South's economy. In Bloomington, Illinois, he stated \"\"that southern slaveholders were neither better, nor worse than we of the north, and that we of the north were no better than they. And we never ought to lose sight of this fact in discussing the subject.\"\" Additionally, he appeared to support the belief that blacks did not deserve equal treatment of whites. This view probably resulted from the family background in which he was raised and educated. Abraham Lincoln was born in a slave state, but his father and most of the other small farmers in that part of Kentucky did not own slaves."

"text": "\"Home | News | Books | Speeches | Places | Resources | Education | Timelines | Index | Search Representatives Hall Lecturn© Abraham Lincoln Online House Divided Speech Springfield, Illinois June 16, 1858On June 16, 1858 more than 1,000 delegates met in the Springfield, Illinois, statehouse for the Republican State Convention. At 5:00 p.m. they chose Abraham Lincoln as their candidate for the U. S. Senate, running against Democrat Stephen A. Douglas. At 8:00 p.m. Lincoln delivered this address to his Republican colleagues in the Hall of Representatives. The title reflects part of the speech's introduction, \"\"A house divided against itself cannot stand,\"\" a concept familiar to Lincoln's audience as a statement by Jesus recorded in all three synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke). Even Lincoln's friends regarded the speech as too radical for the occasion. His law partner, William H. Herndon, considered Lincoln as morally courageous but politically incorrect. Lincoln read the speech to him before delivering it, referring to the \"\"house divided\"\" language this way: \"\"The proposition is indisputably true ... and I will deliver it as written. I want to use some universally known figure, expressed in simple language as universally known, that it may strike home to the minds of men in order to rouse them to the peril of the times. \"\" The speech created many repercussions, giving Lincoln's political opponent fresh ammunition. Herndon remarked, \"\"when I saw Senator Douglas making such headway against Mr. Lincoln's house divided speech I was nettled & irritable, and said to Mr. Lincoln one day this -- 'Mr. Lincoln -- why in the world do you not say to Mr. Douglas, when he is making capitol out of your speech, -- 'Douglas why whine and complain to me because of that speech."

"text": "\"Lincoln on Slavery Abraham Lincoln is often referred to as \"\"The Great Emancipator\"\" and yet, he did not publicly call for emancipation throughout his entire life. Lincoln began his public career by claiming that he was \"\"antislavery\"\" -- against slavery's expansion, but not calling for immediate emancipation. However, the man who began as \"\"antislavery\"\" eventually issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed all slaves in those states that were in rebellion. He vigorously supported the 13th Amendment which abolished slavery throughout the United States, and, in the last speech of his life, he recommended extending the vote to African Americans. This brief study of Lincoln's writings on slavery contains examples of Lincoln's views on slavery. It also shows one of his greatest strengths: his ability to change as it relates to his public stance on slavery. We are deeply indebted to the work of the Abraham Lincoln Association in collecting Lincoln's writings and publishing them as the Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln. It was from this monumental work that these selections were taken. The roman numerals and numbers at the end of each section refer to the volume and page of the Collected Works. March 3, 1837At the age of 28, while serving in the Illinois General Assembly, Lincoln made one of his first public declarations against slavery."

"text": "\"History What Many Americans Get Wrong About States’ Rights When it came to slavery, the Union, not the Confederacy, was the true guardian of states' rights in the antebellum era. By Jared Meyer and Randal Meyer July 20, 2015This weekend’s Ku Klux Klan rally outside the South Carolina capitol building highlights the poignancy and divisiveness inherent in flying the Confederate battle flag, a symbol often associated with racial intolerance. Predictably, Confederate apologists have trotted out the “states’ rights” explanation for the Civil War as the race-neutral reason for the South’s rebellion—thus the flag represents something other than racism. Indeed, a recent Pew Research Center poll found that, 150 years after the Civil War, 48 percent of Americans (a plurality) still assert it was mainly about states’ rights. This justification is inaccurate. When it came to slavery, the Union, not the Confederacy, was the true guardian of state autonomy in the antebellum era. After all, how is it that concerns over the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, a federal law enforced by federal agents (or compelled state agents), could possibly be a states’ rights issue? It is long past time to put the contrary myth to rest, especially when the true doctrine of states’ rights is an important, laudable ideal enshrined in the federal Constitution. The South Pushed Federal Curbs on Free States The South’s real concern in the antebellum period was that states and territories in the North and West were passing state laws aimed at undermining the federal fugitive slave laws, and that new states would choose to join the Union as free states. Those jurisdictions wanted to retain the right to determine whether people could be slaves within their state boundaries—as opposed to the federal government making such determinations."

Lincoln's Greatest Accomplishments Lincoln and the Civil War At the time of Lincoln's presidency, the country was divided into northern and southern regions—the northern states remained the United States, but the southern states had seceded from the union, declaring themselves the Confederate States of America. War broke out, the Civil War, an incredibly violent and bloody war on the home turf of both countries. Lincoln led the United States to ultimately defeat the Confederacy, and following his famous Emancipation Proclamation, he enacted measures to abolish slavery. Lincoln was correct in supporting the Union, which opposed slavery. He did not defend the Confederacy and the people supporting slavery. Lincoln felt that it was extremely important for the United States to end slavery. However, he also realized that the seceded states should not stay that way forever."

Answer by Baole Confidence votes 137The Emancipation Proclamation had no real impact upon slavery at all at the time the it was first issued. The North could not enforce it since the North was already at war with the Confederacy, in part, over this very issue. If the Confederacy had won, the Proclamation would have had no effect. The Proclamation did not abolish the institution of slavery nationwide. It freed slaves only in specific states and counties of other states the were identified in ithe Proclamation as being in rebellion against the United States. It did not free slaves who might possibly exist in places that were not specifically declared to be in rebellion. The irony of it all is that it was an edict that affected only an area which it did not control (the South), but had no effect over the areas it did control (the North). President Lincoln recognized that the Proclamation would be rendered useless if the South won the war, so he waited until the North finally won a significant battle."

His father and mother belonged to a small company of western abolitionists, who at the beginning of the century boldly denounced the institution as an iniquity. So great an evil did Thomas and Nancy Lincoln hold slavery that to escape it they were willing to leave their Kentucky home and move to a free State. Thus their boy’s first notion of the institution was that it was something to flee from, a thing so dreadful that it was one’s duty to go to pain and hardship to escape it,” wrote Lincoln biographer Ida Tarbell. 1Historian Louis A. Warren wrote: “A most disturbing and bitter controversy over the rights and wrongs of slavery was being waged in that part of Kentucky where the Lincolns lived. The record book of the South Fork Baptist Church, located within two miles of the Lincoln Sinking Spring home, shows that in 1808 fifteen members ‘went off from the church on account of slavery.’ At the time of Abraham Lincoln’s birth this church had closed its doors because its members could not meet in peace. Among its congregation were friends of the Lincolns and relatives of Nancy Lincoln…. Thomas and Nancy affiliated with the Little Mount Church, a Separate Baptist congregation located about three miles from the Knob Creek farm."

"text": "Tariffs, Government Policy, and Secession January 25, 2011 Brooks D. Simpson (fourth in a series)One of the reasons offered to explain secession is that secessionists were opposed to the possible passage of a protective tariff that would favor northern economic interests. According to some people, tariffs, along with state rights — and not slavery — explain secession. Exhibit A in this discussion is the Morrill Tariff of 1861, which passed Congress after the first seven states seceded to form the Confederacy. Like the Corwin amendment, it reached President James Buchanan’s desk on March 2, 1861. It replaced the Tariff of 1857, a tariff with far lower rates that southerners had supported. The Morrill Tariff had passed the House of Representatives in 1860 by a significant majority, reflecting the fact that free state congressmen outnumbered their slave state counterparts (although the Republicans did not have control of the House when the 36th Congress opened). Democrats retained control of the Senate, however. Partisan and sectional loyalties placed northern Democrats in a challenging position, because Republicans held them accountable for the failure of protective tariff legislation in the wake of a significant economic downturn in the wake of the panic of 1857 (they cited the tariff of 1857 as evidence of an insufficient response controlled by southern interests). Recall that Republicans did not have to beat southern politicians for seats in state legislatures (which in turn elected United States senators) and in the House of Representatives: they had to beat the northern Democrats who were contesting those seats. In turn, unless northern Democrats could retain support at the polls (a support that had slipped, first in the 1856 presidential contest, then in the 1858 offyear elections), they would find themselves in serious trouble."

In 1816 the Lincolns moved to Indiana, \"\"partly on account of slavery,\"\" Abraham recalled, \"\"but chiefly on account of difficulty in land titles in Kentucky.\"\" Land ownership was more secure in Indiana because the Land Ordinance of 1785 provided for surveys by the federal government; moreover, the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 forbade slavery in the area.

When it ended more than 620 thousand men were dead and many thousands more were blinded, crippled, disfigured, and otherwise maimed and injured. Towns and homes had been burned, railroads had been torn up, crops had been destroyed, and forests had been ravaged. Had a visitor from Outer Space witnessed this tragedy, he could only have assumed that millions of people in the United States had somehow gone temporarily insane. Yet this horrible Civil War period has been consistently glorified as a time when the nation managed to abolish the curse of slavery and preserve a Union that had been fragmenting. The prime actors in this tragedy have been deified like Abraham Lincoln or somewhat demonized like Jefferson Davis, while the battles and other events have been continuously exalted in print and on screen. It’s likely, for example, that more books have been published relating to the Civil War than any event in American history. In view of the romance and excitement built around the Civil War, it is almost heretical to ask if it was necessary . Were there political actions that could have prevented the war while achieving the goal of abolishing slavery and maintaining the Union? Would it have been possible to find a peaceful solution that would have headed off war and met the fundamental aims of the different constituencies involved in the conflict?"

But, he was going to stop any more territories or new states to have slavery. When 11 of the southern states seceded, Lincoln finally realized that slavery would have to come to and end, in order to eventually have the United States as an entirely country of one, and not 2 separate sections. Lincoln called for a meeting at the White House with some of the most influential free Black men in the country. Lincoln explained that, \"\"It's time we parted ways.\"\" Lincoln explained that the United States had purchased a island called Granada.

"text": "by Judge Andrew P. Napolitano The following is an excerpt from the new book, Dred Scott’s Revenge: A Legal History of Race and Freedom in America, by Judge Andrew P. Napolitano. The excerpt is drawn from Chapter Five, entitled “The Civil War,” published here with permission from the publisher, Thomas-Nelson: One of the greatest misconceptions of American history is that the Civil War was fought over slavery. Those who subscribe to this belief see President Abraham Lincoln as the benevolent leader who made unimaginable sacrifices in human blood to wipe out America’s greatest sin. While the human sacrifice is indisputable and the sin was monumental, the war’s purpose was not to free blacks from the shackles of bondage. Rather, the Civil War was fought with one purpose in mind: To preserve the Union at all costs. And, to put it in Lincoln’s terms, with no ifs, ands, or buts. You’d better agree with the president, or else. THE SETTINGThe North and South were divided both morally and economically. As the previous chapters have chronicled, the debate over slavery had firmly gripped the country in the decades preceding the Lincoln presidency. Since the country’s founding, the states and the federal government kept deeply rooted passions concerning slavery and abolition at bay by constantly compromising."

On 6 November 1860, the six-year-old Republican Party elected its first president. During the tense crisis months that followed – the “secession winter” of 1860–61 – practically all observers believed that Lincoln and the Republicans would begin attacking slavery as soon as they took power. Democrats in the North blamed the Republican Party for the entire sectional crisis. They accused Republicans of plotting to circumvent the Constitutional prohibition against direct federal attacks on slavery. Republicans would instead allegedly try to squeeze slavery to death indirectly, by abolishing it in the territories and in Washington DC, suppressing it in the high seas, and refusing federal enforcement of the Slave Laws. The first to succumb to the Republican program of “ultimate extinction,” Democrats charged, would be the border states where slavery was most vulnerable. For Northern Democrats, this is what caused the crisis; the Republicans were to blame for trying to get around the Constitution. Southern secessionists said almost exactly the same thing."

S. senator from Illinois. The campaign pitted a little-known lawyer from Springfield named Abraham Lincoln against Senator Stephen A. Douglas, the front runner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1860. The public knew little about the man the Republicans selected to run against Douglas. Lincoln had been born on February 12, 1809, in a log cabin near Hodgenville, Kentucky, and he grew up on the wild Kentucky and Indiana frontier. At the age of 21, he moved to Illinois, where he worked as a clerk in a country store, volunteered to fight Indians in the Black Hawk War, became a local postmaster and a lawyer, and served four terms in the lower house of the Illinois General Assembly. A Whig in politics, Lincoln was elected in 1846 to the U. S. House of Representatives, but his stand against the Mexican War had made him too unpopular to win reelection. After the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854, Lincoln reentered politics, and in 1858 the Republican Party nominated him to run against Douglas for the Senate. Lincoln accepted the Republican nomination with the famous words: \"\"'A house divided against itself cannot stand.' I believe this Government cannot endure permanently half-slave and half-free.\"\" He did not believe the Union would fall, but he did predict that it would cease to be divided."

Biography In 1991 Linus Torvalds, a 21-year-old computer science student at the University of Helsinki, Fin., having just purchased his first personal computer (PC), decided that he was not satisfied with the computer's operating system (OS). His PC used MS-DOS (the disk operating system from Microsoft Corp.), but Torvalds preferred the UNIX operating system he had used on the university's computers. He decided to create his own PC-based version of UNIX. Months of determined programming work yielded the beginnings of an operating system known as Linux that, eight years later, developed into what many observers saw as a genuine threat to mighty Microsoft and its seemingly ubiquitous Windows OS. By 1999 Torvalds becomes a cult hero to a devoted band of computer users. Torvalds was born in 1969 and grew up in Helsinki, father Nils Torvalds (eds.). At the age of 10 he began to dabble in computer programming on his grandfather's Commodore VIC-20.

In the beginning, Nora exhibits many childish qualities. The audience first sees her when she returns from a seemingly extravagant Christmas shopping excursion. She eats a few desserts which she has secretly purchased. When her condescending husband, Torvald Helmer, asks if she has been sneaking macaroons, she denies it wholeheartedly. With this minor act of deception, the audience learns that Nora is quite capable of lying. She is most child-like when she interacts with her husband. She behaves playfully yet obediently in his presence, always coaxing favors from him instead of communicating as equals. Torvald gently chides Nora throughout the play, and Nora good-naturedly responds to his critics as though she were some loyal pet."

Linus Carl Pauling (February 28, 1901 – August 19, 1994) was an American quantum chemist and biochemist. He was also acknowledged as a crystallographer, molecular biologist, and medical researcher. Pauling is widely regarded as the premier chemist of the twentieth century. He pioneered the application of quantum mechanics to chemistry, and in 1954 was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry for his work describing the nature of chemical bonds. He also made important contributions to crystal and protein structure determination, and was one of the founders of molecular biology. He came near to discovering the \"\"double helix,\"\" the ultrastructure of DNA, which Watson and Crick discovered in 1953. Pauling is noted as a versatile scholar for his expertise in inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, metallurgy, immunology, anesthesiology, psychology, debate, radioactive decay, and the aftermath of nuclear warfare, in addition to quantum mechanics and molecular biology."

External video Linus Pauling, Oregon Experience, Oregon Historical Society Linus Carl Pauling ( / ˈ p ɔː l ɪ ŋ /; February 28, 1901 – August 19, 1994) [4] was an American chemist, biochemist, peace activist, author, educator, and husband of American human rights activist Ava Helen Pauling. He published more than 1,200 papers and books, of which about 850 dealt with scientific topics. [ 5]New Scientist called him one of the 20 greatest scientists of all time, [6] and as of 2000, he was rated the 16th most important scientist in history. [ 7]Pauling was one of the founders of the fields of quantum chemistry and molecular biology. [ 8] His contributions to the theory of the chemical bond include the concept of orbital hybridisation and the first accurate scale of electronegativities of the elements. Pauling also worked on the structures of biological molecules, and showed the importance of the alpha helix and beta sheet in protein secondary structure. Pauling's approach combined methods and results from X-ray crystallography, molecular model building and quantum chemistry. His discoveries inspired the work of James Watson and Francis Crick on the structure of DNA, which in turn made it possible for geneticists to crack the DNA code of all organisms. [ 9]In his later years he promoted nuclear disarmament, as well as orthomolecular medicine, megavitamin therapy, [10] and dietary supplements."

The expression is intended to suggest that proprietary software is more secure by virtue of its closed nature. If hackers can't see the code, then it's harder for them to create exploits for it--or so the thinking goes. Unfortunately for Windows users, that's just not true--as evidenced by the never-ending parade of patches coming out of Redmond. In fact, one of Linux's many advantages over Windows is that it is more secure--much more. For small businesses and other organizations without a dedicated staff of security experts, that benefit can be particularly critical.

We were poised at the brink of a revolution in accounting. Up to1974, accounting was done the same way that the Egyptians did it 3,000 years before. Our technological advances since the Egyptians consisted of painting green and white alternating lines on our paper to make it easier to follow a line across a 36 inch ledger page.

It is a measure for the computation speed of a program.

Operating systems are computer programs. An operating system is the first piece of software that the computer executes when you turn the machine on. The operating system loads itself into memory and begins managing the resources available on the computer. It then provides those resources to other applications that the user wants to execute. Typical services that an operating system provides include: A task scheduler - The task scheduler is able to allocate the execution of the CPU to a number of different tasks. Some of those tasks are the different applications that the user is running, and some of them are operating system tasks. The task scheduler is the part of the operating system that lets you print a document from your word processor in one window while you are downloading a file in another window and recalculating a spreadsheet in a third window.

His character is far from ideal — but upon seeing a production of Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House, audiences are left with an important question: Should we feel sorry for Torvald Helmer? At the play's end his wife, Nora Helmer, abandons him, leaving behind her three young children. She claims that she does not love him. She can no longer be his wife. He begs her to stay, yet Nora denies him, walking off in the middle of the winter night, slamming the door behind her. When the curtain closes upon a pathetic, defeated husband, some viewers find that Torvald has received his comeuppance. Torvald's demeaning personality and his hypocritical actions justify Nora’s harsh decision to leave. Examining Torvald’s Character Flaws Torvald Helmer possesses many obvious character flaws. For one, he constantly talks down to his wife."

"text": "\"He gave the music its sound and its attitude, even as he battled racism – and his own misdeeds – all the way By Mikal Gilmore April 7, 2017One night in 1955, Chuck Berry played a show in Mobile, Alabama. His revved-up and revolutionary first hit, \"\"Maybellene\"\" – a joyful story that romped through cars, sex and class – had recently taken Berry from a St. Louis nightclub act to a national star unlike any other. He was tall, limber, smart, sly, incredibly inventive, and animated onstage in ways that helped flex his musicianship rather than detract from it. Plus, he was handsome and black. These were the early days of rock & roll. What the music seemed to stand for – a youthful refusal to defer to adult authority, a preference for turbulent sounds made from outsider forms like blues, boogie and hillbilly, and a willingness among young whites and blacks to listen to and adopt one another's music, to gather and dance to it – signaled social change that both anticipated and corresponded to the emerging civil-rights struggle. Photo Illustration by Sean Mc Cabe. Photograph of Chuck Berry (circa 1958) by Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Berry's charisma and sexiness, his lyrical and musical brilliance and his early edge in the game (Elvis Presley had not yet ascended) made him a natural point man for this change. His blackness, however, made him a natural threat to some, even black critics who decried rock & roll as a movement that debased the race. Berry didn't present himself as a subversive, but he didn't need to."

Johnson probably didn't have that little scenario in mind when he invented the Super Soaker squirt gun, but it is one of the countless memories that can be recalled by those who were young enough to enjoy the Super Soaker after its release in 1989. Johnson's resume boasts work with the US Air Force and NASA (including work on the Galileo Jupiter probe and Mars Observer project), a nomination for astronaut training and more than 40 patents, but it's for a squirt gun that he's best known. Johnson conceived of a novelty water gun powered by air pressure in 1982 when he conducted an experiment at home on a heat pump that used water instead of Freon. This experimentation, which resulted in Johnson shooting a stream of water across his bathroom into the tub, led directly to the development of the Power Drencher, the precursor to the Super Soaker.

Jordan Bastian of MLB.com first tweeted the timetable, which came from the mouth of Indians manager Terry Francona. Chisenhall left Saturday’s game against the Royals early, and was officially placed on the disabled list early this morning (the club recalled Tyler Naquin to take his place in right field for the time being). It’s an upsetting development for the Tribe, who saw Chisenhall miss significant time last season with the same issue. The re-aggravation of the injury during a seemingly routine few innings in right field doesn’t bode well for Chisenhall’s 2018 season. The timing is also unfortunate for him financially, as he’s set to become a free agent this winter and would like to erase the injury concerns from the memories of potential suitors. Chisenhall was a notable beneficiary of the fly ball revolution last season, as he decreased his ground ball rate from 23.9% in 2016 to just 15.8% in 2017, and correspondingly increased his line drive rate and fly ball rate by four percentage points apiece. That adjustment resulted in a career-best .288/.360/.520 batting line. The Indians will certainly be hoping they can get his bat back in the lineup on the shorter end of the injury timetable.

"text": "Sports Update: Jack Johnson and The Wrench By Rita Lorraine - July 23, 2013 48638WORLD’S FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN HEAVY WEIGHT CHAMPION AND INVENTOR OF THE WRENCHJack Johnson was born in Galveston, Texas and spent his teenage life working on boats and city docks. He began boxing at age 19, and since he stood 6’1″ and weighed 192 pounds, he quickly instilled fear in his opponents and made a name for himself. Jack was cocky and confident, and almost always defeated everyone he fought. Of 113 fights, Jack won 79 matches — 44 of them by knockout. One of these wins won him the “colored Heavyweight Championship” on February 3, 1903. In 1908, Jack defeated Tommy Burns in the 14th round and became the first African american Heavyweight Champion of the World. He held this title until he was knocked out by Jess Willard in the 26th round, on April 1915. Although Jack was a one-of-a-kind athlete, many people were unmoved by his charms. His World Heavyweight Championship win inspired a quest to find a “great white hope”–a white man who could defeat him and restore the title back to where many whites felt it belonged. James Jeffries — “the great white hope”–came out of retirement to take the title back from Jack, but he was quickly defeated."

Anyone growing up with He-Man and Rainbow Brite in their toy collection may be a little biased when it comes to picking out the best-selling toys in history. Certain toys stand the test of time and post amazing numbers in the process. Others blow up overnight and sell crazy numbers in just one or two decades. Discover what the best-selling toys of all time can teach you about how to approach selling your product or services.1. Barbie (Photo : freddycat1 | Flickr | no changes)A Barbie doll is easily one of the most recognizable and best-selling toys in history. With over a billion dolls sold, Barbie has staying power that other dolls could only dream of. Considering that the pint-sized princess has been a mainstay in popular culture for over 50 years, it’s safe to say she’ll be around for a long time to come. What you can learn from Barbie about selling: When sales are low, it’s time to reimagine your product and listen to your consumers. Barbie’s biggest change happened in January 2016, when Mattel added three new body types to the collection (tall, petite, and curvy), as well as introducing variations on skin tones.2."

Read Full Biography Overview Biography Discography Songs Credits Related Share this pagefacebook twitter google+Artist Biography by Cub Koda If the blues has a truly mythic figure, one whose story hangs over the music the way a Charlie Parker does over jazz or a Hank Williams does over country, it's Robert Johnson, certainly the most celebrated figure in the history of the blues. Of course, his legend is immensely fortified by the fact that Johnson also left behind a small legacy of recordings that are considered the emotional apex of the music itself. These recordings have not only entered the realm of blues standards (\"\"Love in Vain,\"\" \"\"Crossroads,\"\" \"\"Sweet Home Chicago,\"\" \"\"Stop Breaking Down\"\"), but were adapted by rock & roll artists as diverse as the Rolling Stones, Steve Miller, Led Zeppelin, and Eric Clapton. While there are historical naysayers who would be more comfortable downplaying his skills and achievements (most of whom have never made a convincing case as where the source of his apocalyptic visions emanates from), Robert Johnson remains a potent force to be reckoned with. As a singer, a composer, and as a guitarist of considerable skills, he produced some of the genre's best music and the ultimate blues legend to deal with. Doomed, haunted, driven by demons, a tormented genius dead at an early age, all of these add up to making him a character of mythology who -- if he hadn't actually existed -- would have to be created by some biographer's overactive romantic imagination. The legend of his life -- which by now, even folks who don't know anything about the blues can cite to you chapter and verse -- goes something like this: Robert Johnson was a young black man living on a plantation in rural Mississippi. Branded with a burning desire to become great blues musician, he was instructed to take his guitar to a crossroad near Dockery's plantation at midnight. There he was met by a large black man (the Devil) who took the guitar from Johnson, tuned it, and handed it back to him."

S. A train song is a song referencing passenger or freight railroads. Trains have been a theme in both traditional and popular music since the first half of the 19th century and over the years have appeared in all major musical genres, including folk, blues, country, rock 'n roll, jazz, world, classical and avant-garde. While the prominence of railroads in the United States has faded in recent decades, the train endures as a common image in popular song. [ 2] [3]The earliest known train songs date to two years before the first public railway began operating in the United States. \"\" The Carrollton March\"\", copyrighted July 1, 1828, was composed by Arthur Clifton to commemorate the groundbreaking of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Another song written for the occasion, \"\"Rail Road March\"\" by Charles Meineke, was copyrighted two days after Clifton's, one day before the July 4 ceremonies. The number of songs that have appeared since then is impossible to determine, not only because of the difficulties in documenting the songs but also in defining the genre.

"text": "\"Black Inventors through American History George Alcorn Not many inventors have resumes as impressive as George Edward Alcorn's. Among his credits, the African-American inventor received a B. A. in physics, a master's degree in nuclear physics and a Ph. D in atomic and molecular physics. Despite such impressive credentials, Alcorn is probably most famous for his innovation of the imaging x-ray spectrometer. Benjamin Banneker In the Stevie Wonder song \"\"Black Man,\"\" the Motown marvel sings of Benjamin Banneker: \"\"first clock to be made in America was created by a black man.\"\" Though the song is a fitting salute to a great inventor (and African Americans in general), it only touches on the genius of Benjamin Banneker and the many hats he wore – as a farmer, mathematician, astronomer, author and land surveyor. Dr. Patricia Bath Imagine living in a world ranging from hazy, clouded vision to that of total darkness for 30 years. Before 1985, that was the plight of those with cataracts who did not want to risk surgery with a mechanical grinder. Now imagine sitting in a doctor's office without being able to see her as she explains that it may be possible to restore your vision.

The band recorded two albums, the first in 1988 and the second in 1990, though Orbison died before the second was recorded. The project's work received much anticipation given the diverse nature of the singer-songwriters.

West Dr. Patricia Bath Lonnie G. Johnson Mark Dean Famous African American Inventors Courtesy of the Boykin family, Dallas, Texas Otis Boykin (1920–1982)Boykin improved the pacemaker and made everyday electronic devices, such as the television and computers, more efficient and affordable. Background: Boykin was born in Dallas, Texas. He attended Fisk College in Nashville, Tenn., and continued his education at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. Invention: After working in electronics, Boykin developed a special interest in resistors. Resistors slow the flow of electricity, allowing a safe amount of electricity to move through a device. In 1959, he patented a \"\"wire precision resistor,\"\" which allowed specific amounts of electrical currents to flow for a specific purpose. Soon after, he created a new resistor that could withstand shifts in temperature and air pressure. It was a huge breakthrough that allowed many electronic devices to be made more cheaply and more reliably than ever before. Boykin's resistors were used in products from televisions and IBM computers to military missiles. Boykin also famously invented a control unit for the pacemaker, a device implanted in the body to help the heart beat normally."

Gordon Updated September 19, 2017These are the 10 crucial artists who helped define the genre of the blues. Each one contributed greatly to the music, whether through their instrumental skills — usually on the guitar — or vocal talents, and their early recordings and performances influenced the cultural impact of the blues and the generations of artists that followed. Whether you're a fan of the blues or a newcomer to the music, this is the place to start.01of 10Bessie Smith (1894-1937)Bessie Smith in 1930. Smith Collection/Gado/Getty Images Known as \"\"The Empress of the Blues,\"\" Bessie Smith was both the best and the most famous of the female singers of the 1920s. A strong, independent woman and a powerful vocalist who could sing in both jazz and blues styles, Smith was also the most commercially successful of the era's singers. Her records sold tens, if not hundreds of thousands of copies—an unheard of level of sales for those days. Sadly, the public's interest in blues and jazz singers waned during the early 1930s and Smith was dropped by her label. Rediscovered by Columbia Records' talent scout John Hammond, Smith recorded with bandleader Benny Goodman before tragically dying in a car accident in 1937. Smith's best material can be heard on the two-CD set \"\"The Essential Bessie Smith\"\" (Columbia/Legacy).02of 10Big Bill Broonzy (1893-1958)Bill Broonzy playing the guitar.

How Ideas are Born The year of 1989 began the water weaponry revolution. The origin of the Super Soaker® actually dates back to 1982 when Dr. Lonnie Johnson, a nuclear engineer, first had the idea of making a high performance toy water gun. At the time, he was employed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena California as a spacecraft systems engineer on the Galileo mission to Jupiter. As a part time inventor, it took eight (8) years before the gun was finally introduced to consumers. In 1990, the Power Drencher (eventually renamed as the Super Soaker®) was unleashed onto the water blaster market, still in its infancy. In the interim, water gun companies such as Entertech™ and Larami ruled the water fight scene with their advances in battery powered motorized water guns. However, the motorized blasters did not offer much soaking power and the batteries required to keep these guns working proved to be costly. Image used with permission. Not for redistribution."

TIME takes a look at other financial schemers through the years. Tweet Prev6 of 10Next Schemers and Swindlers Lou Pearlman By Allison Berry Wednesday, Mar. 07, 2012Joe Burbank / Orlando Sentinel / MCT / Getty Images The Svengali behind the '90s boy-band juggernaut, Lou Pearlman was not the jolly music mogul he painted himself to be. After a failed career in aviation, Pearlman turned an eye to the entertainment industry. He set out to create other boy bands in the model of New Kids on the Block, which he did to great success, creating the wildly popular Backstreet Boys and 'NSYNC, as well as O-Town and solo pop star Aaron Carter. However, many of those acts went on to sue Pearlman for misrepresentation and/or fraud. But the most egregious claims levied against Pearlman came to light in 2006, when it was discovered that he had perpetrated an elaborate Ponzi scheme, defrauding investors to the tune of $300 million by creating an airline and airline service company which did not exist. He tried to flee, but was caught on the run in Indonesia and brought to court. In 2008, Pearlman said \"\"bye bye bye\"\" to his lavish lifestyle when he was convicted of conspiracy and money laundering and sentenced to 25 years in prison.

"text": "Band Spotlight – Blue Oyster Cult Blue Oyster Cult is a band that began playing in the late 1960s, and they are still actively playing today. They are a hard rock band who has sold over 14 million albums worldwide. They began performing in Long Island, New York in 1967 and were managed by Sandy Pearlman who hoped that the group would be a U. S. equivalent to Black Sabbath. He landed them a contract with Columbia and Electra. The band went through many names including Soft White Underbelly until settling on Blue Oyster Cult in 1971. The group is often referred to as the first heavy metal band, and they are sometimes credited for being the first to use the term “heavy metal” as well. Blue Oyster Cult has a band logo which is a cross and hook. Other heavy metal bands began to use a heavy metal umlaut after Blue Oyster Cult began the tradition. Blue Oyster Cult’s logo is on all of their albums. The logo was designed by Pearlman who modeled it after the Greek mythological character Kronos, the king of the Titans and father of Zeus."

"text": "\"Justin Timberlake Justin Timberlake may be the quintessential pop star of the new millennium, a star who jumped from platform to platform on his way to establishing himself as something bigger than a star: he was a self-sustained empire. Timberlake began his rise as a TV star, performing on The New Mickey Mouse Club as a child in the '90s, but he earned his superstardom as one of the frontmen for *NSYNC, the most popular boy band of the turn of the millennium. Justin stepped away from the band just as its popularity crested, releasing the sleek Justified in 2002, its hit singles \"\"Cry Me a River\"\" and \"\"Rock Your Body\"\" establishing him as a force outside the group, and he consolidated that success in 2006 with Future Sex/Love Sounds, the album that generated his biggest hit, \"\"Sexy Back.\"\" After reaching this pop peak, he decided to pursue other ventures, choosing to concentrate on acting and entrepreneurship. Recurring appearances on Saturday Night Live proved to be among the show's most popular spots and he received acclaim for his performance in the 2010 Oscar-winning film The Social Network. After juggling numerous ventures outside the music industry, Timberlake returned to the top of the charts with help from Timbaland. Timberlake's journey to stardom began in Memphis, Tennessee, where he was born on January 31, 1981. He began performing early, appearing on the televised talent competition Star Search at the age of 11, singing under the name of Justin Randall. This was his first step into the big leagues, leading to him securing a spot on The New Mickey Mouse Club in 1993. This cast would prove to be filled with future stars; in addition to Timberlake there were the pop singers Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, actor Ryan Gosling, and JC Chasez, who'd later join Justin in *NSYNC, the group manager Lou Pearlman assembled in the late '90s."

"text": "Kybella™**Results May Vary Kybella™ is a new injectable treatment for submental fullness (double chin) that can significantly improve chin contouring without the invasiveness and downtime of surgery. Kybella™ has been approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the reduction of submental fat. Dr. Pearlman was hand selected by Kythera Biopharmaceuticals to receive specialized training, and is one of the first physicians in the United States to offer this treatment to his patients. How does Kybella™ work? Kybella™ is a synthetic formulation of deoxycholic acid, a substance found naturally occurring in the body, which is synthesized and then used to break down and absorb dietary fat. Kybella™ has been under development for more than 9 years, and has been the subject of over 20 clinical studies involving more than 2,600 patients. When properly injected in the submental area, it has been shown to dissolve fat that causes a double chin. The result is a more streamlined neck and improved contour along the jaw line.

"text": "What is Compassion Fatigue?00:00 00:00Hoping to address your Compassion Fatigue and Vicarious Trauma in person? Check out our live events!Compassion fatigue has been described as the “cost of caring” for others in emotional pain (Figley, 1982). The helping field has gradually begun to recognize that workers are profoundly affected by the work they do, whether it is by direct exposure to traumatic events (for example, working as a paramedic, police officer, emergency hospital worker); secondary exposure (hearing clients talk about trauma they have experienced, helping people who have just been victimized, working as child protection workers) and the full gamut in between such as working with clients who are chronically in despair, witnessing people’s inability to improve their very difficult life circumstances or feeling helpless in the face of poverty and emotional anguish. The work of helping requires helping professionals to open their hearts and minds to their clients and patients – unfortunately, this very process of empathy is what makes helpers vulnerable to being profoundly affected and even possibly damaged by their work.1) What is the difference between compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma and burnout? These three terms are complementary and yet different from one another. While Compassion Fatigue (CF) refers to the profound emotional and physical erosion that takes place when helpers are unable to refuel and regenerate, the term Vicarious trauma (VT) was coined by Pearlman & Saakvitne (1995) to describe the profound shift in world view that occurs in helping professionals when they work with clients who have experienced trauma: helpers notice that their fundamental beliefs about the world are altered and possibly damaged by being repeatedly exposed to traumatic material. Burnout is a term that has been used since the early 1980s describe the physical and emotional exhaustion that workers can experience when they have low job satisfaction and feel powerless and overwhelmed at work. However, burnout does not necessarily mean that our view of the world has been damaged, or that we have lost the ability to feel compassion for others. Using our specialized course in Compassion Fatigue TEND has worked with individuals who were not in the helping field who still felt severe work-related burnout (e.g. someone working as an administrative assistant in a toxic work environment). Most importantly, burnout can be fairly easily resolved: changing jobs can provide immediate relief to someone suffering from job-related burnout."

"text": "\"Home ANA Periodicals OJIN Table of Contents Vol 16 - 2011 No1 Jan 2011 Concept of Compassion Fatigue Reflecting on the Concept of Compassion Fatigue^ m d Brenda Sabo, Ph D, RNAbstract A review of the literature on the health of nurses leaves little doubt that their work may take a toll on their psychosocial and physical health and well being. Nurses working in several specialty practice areas, such as intensive care, mental health, paediatrics, and oncology have been found to be particularly vulnerable to work-related stress. Several types of occupational stress have been identified, including burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious traumatization. While the emphasis of this article is on compassion fatigue and its theoretical conceptualization, the concepts of burnout and vicarious traumatization are also discussed. Two questions are posed for discussion: 1) Does compassion fatigue exist on a continuum of occupational stress? If so, is burnout a pre-condition for compassion fatigue; 2) What are the relationships between the types of occupational stress? To what extent does non-resolution of compassion fatigue increase the risk for developing vicarious traumatization? Case examples are provided to support this discussion.

Pearlman, SPACE.com • October 4, 2012Actor Simon Helberg, portraying Howard Wolowitz on CBS's \"\"The Big Bang Theory,\"\" is seen \"\"floating\"\" on the space station. More Howard Wolowitz is still in space. The fictional aerospace engineer and Expedition 31 crew member was seen floating aboard the International Space Station (ISS) during last week's season premiere of the CBS hit television series \"\" The Big Bang Theory .\"\" On this week's episode, airing tonight (Oct. 4), Wolowitz is still off the planet, 250 miles (400 km) up. Of course, he is not really on the space station. The real ISS Expedition 31 ended in July. Wolowitz, or rather actor Simon Helberg, was on a sound stage at the Warner Bros. studio lot in Burbank, Calif. His spacecraft surroundings never orbited the Earth, but they did play previous host to the Energizer Bunny for a Super Bowl commercial and were seen in the 2004 feature film, \"\"The Day After Tomorrow. \"\" But Helberg's, or rather Wolowitz's crew did include a real life NASA astronaut, Mike Massimino, and, further blurring the lines between art and life, the fictional Expedition 31 crew patch that they wore on the show placed Wolowitz's and Massimino's names side-by-side. [ Photos: TV's \"\"Big Bang Theory\"\" Geek Chic]Behind the scenes, the job of delivering Wolowitz to the orbiting outpost didn't fall to a Russian rocket but rather to The Big Bang Theory's production designer John Shaffner, set decorator Ann Shea and their teams. Scavenging for space parts As it turns out, you can rent a space station."

"text": "\"Luther Vandross Luther Vandross was one of the most successful R&B artists of the 1980s and '90s. Not only did he score a series of multi-million-selling albums containing chart-topping hit singles and perform sold-out tours of the U. S. and around the world, but he also took charge of his music creatively, writing or co-writing most of his songs and arranging and producing his records. He also performed these functions for other artists, providing them with hits as well. He was, however, equally well known for his distinctive interpretations of classic pop and R&B songs, reflecting his knowledge and appreciation of the popular music of his youth. Possessed of a smooth, versatile tenor voice, he charmed millions with his romantic music. Vandross was born in New York City on April 20, 1951, and grew up in the Alfred E. Smith housing projects in lower Manhattan. Both of his parents, Luther Vandross, Sr., an upholsterer, and Mary Ida Vandross, a nurse, sang, and they encouraged their children to pursue music as a career. Vandross, Sr. 's older sister Patricia Van Dross was an early member of the Crests in the mid-'50s (appearing on their early singles, but leaving before they achieved success with \"\"Sixteen Candles\"\"), and Vandross himself began playing the piano at the age of three and took lessons at five, although he remained a largely self-taught musician."

( Via Youtube)Ralph Mac Donald, the Grammy-winning writer, producer and percussionist who worked with everyone from Luther Vandross to Amy Winehouse and composed the classics, “Where Is the Love” and “Just the Two of Us,” died Sunday morning in Stamford, Conn., after a long illness. He was 67. He had suffered from a stroke and lung cancer in recent years. Stamford, where he lived for the past 35 years, honored him with a Ralph Mac Donald Day in July. He performed a couple of songs, including “Just the Two of Us,” with long-time colleague Dennis Collins, at the event. Born in Harlem on March 15, 1944, Mac Donald was a working musician as well as a writer and producer. Until health problems sidelined him a year and a half ago, he continued to tour regularly as a member of Jimmy Buffett ’s Coral Reefer Band. The son of legendary Trinidadian calypso performer Mac Beth the Great, Mac Donald began performing as a small boy when his father would have him dance on the drums. At 17, he landed a job in Harry Belafonte ’s steel band, where he remained for the next decade."

"text": "\"artists > A > Aretha Franklin > Bio Aretha Franklin Bio Aretha Franklin is not only the definitive female soul singer of the Sixties, she's also one of the most influential and important voices in pop history. Franklin fused the gospel music she grew up on with the sensuality of R&B, the innovation of jazz, and the precision of pop. After she hit her artistic and commercial stride in 1967, she made more than a dozen million-selling singles, and since then has recorded 20 Number One R&B hits. She moved toward the pop mainstream with fitful success in the Seventies, but in the late Eighties experienced a resurgence in popularity, and continues to record in a less ecstatic, more mannered style. Fittingly, after more than 40 years of helping to bridge the racial divide in her music, Franklin sang \"\"My Country 'Tis of Thee\"\" at Barack Obama's inauguration in 2009. Franklin was born March 25, 1942, in Memphis, Tennessee. Her father, the Reverend C. L. Franklin, became the pastor of the 4,500-member New Bethel Baptist Church in Detroit in 1946 and was a nationally known gospel singer (\"\"the Man with the Million-Dollar Voice\"\"). Her mother, Barbara, also a gospel singer, deserted the family when Aretha was six and died four years later. Aretha and her sisters, Carolyn and Erma, sang regularly at their father's church, and Aretha's first recordings were made there when she was 14. The Franklins were among the most prominent black families in Detroit."

Vandross was considered the premier soul balladeer of his generation, with a silky voice that seduced millions of fans and won over collaborators such as David Bowie and Aretha Franklin. Vandross' final album, \"\"Dance With My Father,\"\" released shortly after his April 2003 stroke, debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200. It yielded four Grammys, including song of the year for the title track, which Vandross described as \"\"my 'Piano Man,' my signature song.\"\" But Vandross' Grammy success was a bittersweet affair because of the stroke."

"text": "\"Departed R&B singer Johnny Kemp found dead on beach Published April 18, 2015 Associated Press Facebook Twitter Email Johnny Kemp album cover (Courtesy of Sony Music)Bahamian R&B singer Johnny Kemp, who is best known for the hit song \"\"Just Got Paid,\"\" has died in Jamaica. He was 55. ADVERTISEMENTJamaica police said Friday that Kemp was found floating at a beach in Montego Bay on Thursday morning. It had not yet been determined how he died. Police said Kemp arrived in Jamaica on a cruise ship but added that they did not have further details. Reach Media Inc. said Kemp had been scheduled to be on a Caribbean cruise this week, but the U. S.-based parent company of the \"\"Tom Joyner Morning Show\"\" said it did not have further details. Kemp was nominated in 1989 for a Grammy Award for \"\"Just Got Paid\"\" in a category that included Bobby Brown and Luther Vandross. The song was a No. 1 hit on the U. S. Billboard R&B chart. Kemp appeared on a 2007 Keith Sweat DVD called \"\"Sweat Hotel Live\"\" and had been performing at musical events across the U. S. in recent years. \""

Written by Withers and Skip Scarborough, it was released on December 21, 1977 and appears on Withers' 1978 album Menagerie. The song is notable for Withers' sustained note towards the end, which at 18 seconds long, is one of the longest ever recorded on a song.

[ 1] It also made the Top 10 in the United Kingdom, where the song reached #7 on the British single chart. [ 2]\"\"Lovely Day\"\" has been re-released as a single in the United Kingdom at least twice since the song's first chart run; in 1987 the original version charted again at #92, while a version done by Ben Liebrand, named the \"\"Sunshine Mix\"\", made the British Top 10 in 1988, rising to #4. [ 2] This remix resulted in renewed enthusiasm for the Withers original, which incurred a surge in airplay into the early 1990s and came to firmly overshadow the radio presence of Liebrand's version. Public interest was again piqued in 1995, when \"\"Lovely Day\"\" was used in adverts for Tetley tea and again in 1999 for a Gap commercial directed by Hype Williams. Producer Clarence Mc Donald also arranged the original 1977 version of the song and played keyboards. Guitars were played by Ray Parker, Jr., Jerry Knight played bass, and Russ Kunkel played drums.

"text": "RADICAL FEMINISTS: USEFUL IDIOTSBy Steven Yates August 1, 2006 News With Views.com A useful idiot is someone who, while zealously promoting one cause, ends up advancing a very different one through stupidity, naivete or inattention. The useful idiot never sees the big picture. Vladimir Lenin, the first Soviet dictator, is credited with coining the phrase, although according to P. Boller and J. George�s They Never Said It, he�well�most likely never said it. Not even in Russian. Whatever its origins, the phrase sometimes comes in handy. My first two experiences with radical feminists in academia didn�t make much of an impact on me until later. The first was in Fall 1987 at Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina. It was my first full-time job out of graduate school, and I was making a presentation on what was then my area of expertise: theories about the conceptual foundations of science and the dynamics of scientific change. After outlining four such theories, I took questions. At one point a female graduate student put up her hand and wanted to know to what extent I could relate the scarcity of women in science to scientific method."

"text": "Wanda March 14, 2013No Comments40 Famous Women in History: Who They Are and Why They’re Importantfacebook twitter Google+ pinterest History has shown us time and time again that women can be every bit as successful as men but despite the things women have accomplished, discovered or invented, famous women in history don’t seem to be quite as well known as their male counterparts. The famous women in history on this list have done some truly incredible things and while you may recognize their names, you may not recognize what they’ve done. I’d like to help change that. Below, you’ll find not just the names of some of the most famous women in history but also their accomplishments. You won’t just learn that they were important but you’ll learn why they were important. Now, I want to explain the women I chose. There are many, many famous women throughout history who deserve a spot on this list but I had to choose a number and stick to it or this could’ve easily become the longest list in history. I went with women whose names you might know but perhaps aren’t sure why you know the name or women you probably haven’t heard of. I also chose a few women I personally find incredibly inspiring. At the same time, I tried to avoid choosing actresses, musicians, models etc unless they achieved something especially worthy of note as most of us are already familiar with who they are or what they’ve accomplished."

"text": "\"The Song of Bernadette The Song of Bernadette (1943), which tells the story of an adolescent peasant girl who has a vision of a \"\"beautiful lady\"\" presumed to be the Virgin Mary, is set in 1858, primarily in the village of Lourdes, France. Although he shot the film almost entirely at the Hollywood studios of 20th Century Fox, Arthur C. Miller captured the film's atmosphere so artfully that he won an Academy Award for Best Black and White Cinematography. \"\" The village was built on the back lot at the studio and was an extensive construction job,\"\" Miller recalled in the 1967 book One Reel a Week, which he co-authored. \"\" The grotto where Bernadette saw her vision was a massive plaster job with rock ledges and other details.\"\" Despite the artificiality of the setting, Miller wrote that he experienced an \"\"everything's perfect\"\" feeling during filming. That sensation, he added, came to him only a few times in his 36-year career, which also included Oscars for How Green Was My Valley (1941) and Anna and the King of Siam (1946). The Song of Bernadette also won Oscars® for Best Actress (Jennifer Jones), Art Direction and Music Score, and was nominated for Best Picture, Director, Supporting Actor (Charles Bickford), Supporting Actresses (Gladys Cooper and Anne Revere), Screenplay, Editing and Sound Recording. Jones' award was presented by Greer Garson, a fellow nominee for Madame Curie (1943) and the previous year's winner for Mrs. Miniver (1942). Always shy in crowds, Jones trembled as she spoke her brief thanks and, once off the podium, burst into tears. Jones, protegee and later wife of producer David O.

Well, uranium is the heaviest naturally occurring element on earth. It is a metal, like all other metals, except that it had no commercial value before the mid-twentieth century. Until the last fifty years it was produced only as a byproduct. Thus the entire history of the mining of uranium has taken place during my lifetime. Moreover, a great deal of it has occurred in my homeland, Canada, which was the first country to produce and process uranium as such. The first uranium processed by Canada was used to produce nuclear explosives for the atomic bombs dropped at Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945."

At a joint meeting of the five academies which compose the Institut de France, a majority had opposed the admission of women, as contrary to tradition, but each academy was left to decide the question for itself. The Academy of Fine Arts had a few women members long ago but the Academy of Sciences has never admitted a woman. It was, perhaps, the opposition of the anti-feminists that induced Mme. Curie to apply as a candidate for the chair in the section of physics left vacant by Gernez, and formerly occupied by her husband and collaborator, Pierre Curie. In the preliminary grading of candidates Mme. Curie was placed alone, in the first grade, while her competitors, five eminent men of science, were assigned to the second grade. Mme. Curie, however, received only 28 of the 65 votes (the Academy consists of 66 members), while 30 votes were cast for Edouard Branly.

She discovered Radium and Polonium, defining their atomic weight and their place in the periodic system, and she was the first to discover methods for extracting pure Radium salts and metal. Marie Curie, who first coined the term \"\"radioactivity\"\", was key in developing methods for quantitatively measuring radioactivity and for discovering its effect on living cells. Curie was twice awarded the Nobel Prize, first in 1903 in Physics and then again in 1911 in the field of Chemistry. She was the first person ever to be awarded two Nobel Prizes, and along with Linus Pauling, is one of only two to have done so in two separate fields. In addition, Curie was the first woman in history to earn a Ph. D. at a French university. She is in general remembered for her scientific brilliance and for her diligence and perseverance in the face of tremendous discrimination and hardship. Marie Curie was born Maria Sklodowska on 7 November 1867 in Warsaw, in what was then the Russian Empire, with Poland having been divided up amongst various European nations due to war and subsequent treaties. When she was only 10 years old her mother died of tuberculosis, a short time after her elder sister had died of typhus."

Paris, 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 there 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."

This work continues to inspire our charity's mission to support people living with terminal illness, including cancer. Humble beginnings Born Maria Sklodowska on 7 November 1867 in Warsaw, Poland, she was the youngest of five children of poor school teachers. After her mother died and her father could no longer support her she became a governess, reading and studying in her own time to quench her thirst for knowledge. She never lost this passion. To become a teacher – the only alternative which would allow her to be independent – was never a possibility because a lack of money prevented her from a formal higher education. However, when her sister offered her lodgings in Paris with a view to going to university, she grasped the opportunity and moved to France in 1891. She immediately entered Sorbonne University in Paris where she read physics and mathematics – she had naturally discovered a love of the subjects through her insatiable appetite for learning. It was in Paris, in 1894, that she met Pierre Curie – a scientist working in the city – and who she married a year later. It was also around this time that she adopted the French spelling of her name – Marie."

Gilchrist. ) Madam Guyon (pronounced Gay-yo), the celebrated French Mystic, was one of the greatest Christian leaders of all time. What Savonarola was to Italy, Madam Guyon was to France. Not only was her influence felt throughout her native land of France, but also all over Europe and throughout the world. Fenelon, John Wesley, and other great spiritual leaders have acknowledged that they were greatly indebted to Madam Guyon for the deep spiritual lessons learned from her life and writings. Although a Roman Catholic, Madam Guyon very much resembled the modem Quakers, or Friends, in her teachings. She has been termed. ‘ A Quaker born out of due time;’ and Dr J. Rendel Harris, one of the most eminent Friends, says, “No society has been so influenced by Madam Guyon as the Quakers have been.” She was the center of the great spiritual movement known as “Quietism,” which was perhaps the greatest spiritual movement that ever originated within the Roman Catholic Church. In its emphasis on the work of the Holy Spirit, the “Quietist ” movement very much resembled the Quaker movement; and the original Friends were often classed as “Quietists” on this account."

Rosalind Franklin produced vital images of DNA through x-ray crystallography with which Watson and Crick were able to deduce the structure of DNA. Watson and Crick acquired Franklin's data (without her permission) and used it to propose a structure for DNA, which is now known to be correct (B form DNA).

She was of Scottish and Ulster-Scots descent. Her childhood was a normal if not non-descript life. Greer showed no early signs of interest in becoming an actress. She was educated at the University of London with the intentions of becoming a teacher. Instead, she opted to work with an advertising agency. During this time, she appeared in local theatrical productions gaining a reputation as an extremely talented actress. She was discovered by Louis B. Mayer while he was on a visit to London looking for new talent. Greer was signed to a contract with MGM and appeared in her first American film in 1939. The movie in question was Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1939), which won rave reviews and garnered her a nomination as best actress, the first of six nominations."

"text": "\"Albert Einstein Imposes on His First Wife a Cruel List of Marital Demandsin Letters, Physics, Science | December 30th, 2013 50 Comments13.4k SHARESAdvertisement Albert Einstein passionately wooed his first wife Mileva Maric, against his family’s wishes, and the two had a turbulent but intellectually rich relationship that they recorded for posterity in their letters. Einstein and Maric’s love letters have inspired the short film above, My Little Witch (in Serbian, I believe, with English subtitles) and several critical re-evaluations of Einstein’s life and Maric's influence on his early thought. Some historians have even suggested that Maric---who was also trained in physics---made contributions to Einstein’s early work, a claim hotly disputed and, it seems, poorly substantiated. The letters---written between 1897 and 1903 and only discovered in 1987---reveal a wealth of previously unknown detail about Maric and the marriage. While the controversy over Maric's influence on Einstein's theories raged among academics and viewers of PBS’s controversial documentary, Einstein’s Wife, a scandalous personal item in the letters got much better press. As Einstein and Mileva’s relationship deteriorated, and they attempted to scotch tape it together for the sake of their children, the avuncular pacifist wrote a chilling list of “conditions,” in outline form, that his wife must accept upon his return. Lists of Note transcribes them from Walter Isaacson’s biography Einstein: His Life and Universe: CONDITIONSA.

Curie was a Polish physicist and chemist who lived between 1867-1934. She was born Maria Sklodowski in Warsaw, Poland, the youngest of five children. When she was born, Poland was controlled by Russia. Her parents were teachers, and she learned at an early age the importance of education. Her mother died when she was young, and when her father was caught teaching Polish - which had been made illegal under the Russian government. Manya, as she was called, and her sisters had to get jobs. After a couple of failed jobs, Manya became a tutor to a family in the countryside outside Warsaw. She enjoyed her time there, and was able to send her father money to help support him, and also send some money to her sister Bronya in Paris who was studying medicine."

"text": "\"The Nobel Prize in Physics 1903 Henri Becquerel, Pierre Curie, Marie Curie Share this: Pierre Curie - Biographical Pierre Curie was born in Paris, where his father was a general medical practitioner, on May 15, 1859. He received his early education at home before entering the Faculty of Sciences at the Sorbonne. He gained his Licenciateship in Physics in 1878 and continued as a demonstrator in the physics laboratory until 1882 when he was placed in charge of all practical work in the Physics and Industrial Chemistry Schools. In 1895 he obtained his Doctor of Science degree and was appointed Professor of Physics. He was promoted to Professor in the Faculty of Sciences in 1900, and in 1904 he became Titular Professor. In his early studies on crystallography, together with his brother Jacques, Curie discovered piezoelectric effects. Later, he advanced theories of symmetry with regard to certain physical phenomena and turned his attention to magnetism. He showed that the magnetic properties of a given substance change at a certain temperature - this temperature is now known as the Curie point. To assist in his experiments he constructed several delicate pieces of apparatus - balances, electrometers, piezoelectric crystals, etc. Curie's studies of radioactive substances were made together with his wife, whom he married in 1895."

Well, uranium is the heaviest naturally occurring element on earth. It is a metal, like all other metals, except that it had no commercial value before the mid-twentieth century. Until the last fifty years it was produced only as a byproduct. Thus the entire history of the mining of uranium has taken place during my lifetime. Moreover, a great deal of it has occurred in my homeland, Canada, which was the first country to produce and process uranium as such. The first uranium processed by Canada was used to produce nuclear explosives for the atomic bombs dropped at Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Indeed, the beginning of the nuclear weapons program marked the beginning of the uranium industry. By 1956, uranium had become the fourth most important export from Canada, after pulp, lumber and wheat; and every ounce of it was used to produce A-bombs and H-bombs for the American -- and, to a lesser extent, the British -- nuclear weapons programs. It was the only use uranium had at that time."

Maria Sklodowska Curie (1867-1934) - Physics 1903, Chemistry 1911 - Born in Warsaw, Maria left occupied Poland at age 23 for the freedom to pursue the study of science. Settling in Paris, she married Pierre Curie and the couple discovered the phenomenon of radioactivity and the elements Polonium (named for Poland) and Radium. For this they received the Physics prize in 1903. Madame Curie also achieved the isolation of pure Radium, and for this was awarded the Nobel for Chemistry in 1911. She is considered to be the greatest female scientist of all time. Photo to the right Henryk Sienkiewicz (1846-1916) - Literature 1905 - Born into a family involved in the fight against Russia for Polish independence, those ideals are reflected in much of Sienkiewicz's work. Best known for his Deluge trilogy as well as Quo Vadis, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1905. He traveled to America and his impressions of this country were published in Polish newspapers."

"text": "\"The Reason There is No “Nobel Prize for Mathematics” Had Nothing to Do With Any Wife/Mistress of Alfred Nobel October 12, 2010 Daven Hiskey 13 comments Myth: The reason there is no Nobel Price for Mathematics is because Alfred Nobel’s fiancée wife had an affair with a mathematician. You’d be hard pressed to take any upper level university level mathematics course and not hear some variation of this story at least once per term from your mathematics professor (I personally have heard it from three different mathematics professors, one physics professor, and one computer science professor who was formerly a mathematics professor): “The reason there is no ‘Nobel Prize’ for Mathematics is that Alfred Nobel’s wife (sometimes mistress or fiancée) had an affair with a famed mathematics professor (actual name of professor varies based on who’s telling the story, but most popular go with famed Swedish mathematician Gosta Mittag-Leffler). So Nobel stipulated in his will that there should not be a Nobel Prize for mathematics for fear that said famed mathematics professor would win it (which was all but a certainty had there been a Nobel Prize for mathematics).”While that’s a nice anecdote to tell a classroom of sleepy Limits and Infinite Series students, like so many other such historical anecdotes, it simply isn’t true. Nobel himself never married, though he did propose to one woman, Alexandra, who turned him down. He later had a relationship with his secretary Bertha Kinsky, which eventually ended with her leaving him to marry her former lover, Baron Arthur Gundaccar von Suttner. In this case, Nobel and Kinsky remained very close friends for the rest of his life. The third “love of his life” was Sophie Hess, whom he maintained a relationship with for around 18 years; he also referred to her as “Madame Sofie Nobel” in letters, even though they were never married. Aside from these women, there is no record of him having any significant love affair with any other woman than those listed above. The first one who rejected him did so early on in his life and there was no record that she then ended up marrying or having a relationship with any mathematician, so it is unlikely that any long standing grudge developed from this. He remained friends with the second woman throughout his life, so likely no animosity there."

In a blog posted earlier this week, the administrator of NASA, Charles F. Bolden, Jr., mentioned Jemison in the same sentence as icons including Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, and Nelson Mandela. While honored for the mention, Jemison said she does not rest on the fete of what she’s done. She moves the needle forward by continuing to think about how to contribute uniquely and be more than just on the list of firsts, and focuses on empowering other. Jemison said empowerment starts with believing in yourself, and taking the risk. “I always like to remind folks, when they talk about empowerment there are three things that are needed,” she said. “ First of all, you have to believe that you have something to say. Then you have to understand that you have the right to say it. Then you have to risk going on and making it. Those are things that we as individuals can do."

The youngest of three children born to a maintenance worker and an elementary schoolteacher, she had a fascination with all things science from an early age. Once, after receiving an infection, she performed an extended experiment on pus. Jemison's parents supported her desire to be a scientist. \"\" My parents were the best scientists I knew, because they were always asking questions,\"\" Jemison said in a 2005 press release.

"text": "\"Imagining the future: Why society needs science fiction Image credit: Albert Robida /Public domain. First published on 3rd April 2012. Last updated on 25th January 2018 by Dr Helen Klus Show Contents1. What is science fiction? ↑While there's no single accepted definition of science fiction, science fiction usually deals with worlds that differ from our own as the result of new scientific discoveries, new technologies, or different social systems. It then looks at the consequences of this change. Because of this broad definition, science fiction can be used to consider questions regarding science, politics, sociology, and the philosophy of the mind, as well as any questions about the future. It's sometimes hard to distinguish science fiction from fantasy. This is because the definition of science has changed drastically over time, and as Arthur C. Clarke famously stated:...any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic [1]. One of the greatest astronomers of the 17th century, Johannes Kepler, had to invoke demons to explain how someone could travel to the Moon in his novel Somnium, and 18th century author Samuel Madden used angels to explain time travel from the year 1998 in Memoirs Of the Twentieth Century.

"text": "If when you hear the words “adventurer” or “explorer,” you get the image of a macho man in a pith helmet on a quest to discover new lands, here are the names of some women that should turn that image around. These are just a few of the many bold females pioneers who dared to explore uncharted areas through time and space — any of whom might make a worthy namesake for your own little adventurous girl. Alexandrine Alexandrine Tinné was a Dutch explorer in Africa and the first European woman to attempt to cross the Sahara, in 1859. One of the more unusual names in the Alex family, Alexandrine has royal ties in several countries, and its variant Alexandrina was the first name of Queen Victoria. Delia Born in 1875, Delia Akeley led expeditions to Africa, studying the ethnography of such reclusive tribes as the Forest People pygmies in the 1930s, and exploring the Tana River in a dugout canoe. Delia, which started as a short form of names like Adelia and Cordelia, has long stood on its own. Despite its Greek roots, Delia projects an element of Southern charm. Freya Called “the last of the Romantic travelers,” Freya Stark was the first European woman to enter parts of Iran, published many books on travel and put her knowledge of the Middle East to use in combating fascism. Freya, the name of the Norse goddess of love and beauty, is a Top 50 name in Scotland, England and Ireland, but only entered the U. S. pop list in 2013. Gertrude Gertrude Bell was an English writer, traveler and archaeologist who explored the Middle East in the 19th century and played a major role in establishing the modern state of Iraq."

Read part II, part III, and part IV here. Edwin Jemison has a famous face. If you've taken a history class in the United States, you've almost certainly seen him in your textbook; if not there, then in a photo montage in any documentary. There's something about the look in his eyes that seems to have captivated historians, textbook authors, and the general public. We see his fictional counterparts portrayed in the media, as well, for that same emotional effect. In Cold Mountain, for example, the first character we follow across the screen is a young, beardless, enthusiastic Confederate soldier, of whom Jude Law's character observes, \"\"He can't be old enough to fight, can he?\"\" Predictably, the young soldier is wounded and dies within the first fifteen minutes of the film."

"text": "\"Joshua Engel, Trekkie since TOS was all there was. Updated Jan 15, 2014 · Author has 10.6k answers and 47.2m answer views Klingons were always dark-skinned. In TOS they were played in a light blackface: It became dark blackface for The Motion Picture: (That's Mark Lenard, who also played Spock's father.) When TNG rolled around, they finally started casting black actors instead of painting white ones. They were never intended to represent Africans. They were actually intended at the time to represent Soviet Union, the chief opponent of the US in the Cold War, while the Romulans represented the wily, inscrutable Chinese. The allegories were pretty thin, a war of skirmishes and proxies. ( A Private Little War, about a primitive culture's war being escalated by arms shipments by both sides, was an obvious allegory of the Vietnam War. Kirk's moral dilemma in choosing between arming his friends versus allowing them to die, without being able to intervene with the full might of his ship [i.e. nuclear weapons], was clunkily written but kind of insightful nonetheless.) By the time of TNG, the Klingons morphed into a kind of honor warrior culture."

Serving six years as a NASA astronaut, Dr. Jemison is an icon of both the women's rights and civil rights movement, inducted into both the National Women's Hall of Fame (1993) and the International Space Hall of Fame (2004). A strong, committed global voice for science literacy, in 1994 Jemison founded the international science camp The Earth We Share TM (TEWS) for students 12-16 years old from around the world. In 2011, Jemison also launched the TEWS-Space Race, with the goal of improving science achievement for underserved Los Angeles-area students who are underrepresented in the sciences. Dr. Jemison continues to be a vocal advocate for improving education access and advocating for greater inclusion of girls in STEM programs. Jemison's book, Find Where the Wind Goes, is geared for teenagers and explores her experiences growing up on the South Side of Chicago, cultivating her aspirations to be a scientist, and her history-making journey into space. Following her time in NASA, Dr. Jemison founded both The Jemison Group and Bio Sentient Corporation. A technology consulting firm, The Jemison Group explores and develops stand-alone science and technology programs, integrating the critical impact of socio-cultural issues with revolutionary technologies. Among The Jemison Group's groundbreaking work is a project to use satellite technology for health care delivery in West Africa and another to use solar dish Stirling engines for electricity generation in developing countries.

I accomplished that goal and more in 1992 as the first woman of color in the world to go into space without knowing about the path already set by trailblazing women. As a girl, while I had heard there were some women pilots, I really did not know about the incredible roles women and especially women of color, played in aviation and aerospace. If I had known then… Well, let’s just say I cannot think of many more important tasks for me now than to bring broad public awareness to the achievements, since the very beginning, of these women in flight. \"\"— Mae Jemison, MD, Former Astronaut, Celebration Chair Amazing women have been integral to our understanding of the heavens, as well as our dreams and capacity to explore it. While society begins to acknowledge and applaud some women, the myriad contributions of women of color from around the world to aviation and aerospace demand greater recognition. Below is a short gallery of some of the incredible and fearless women whose courage, strength and will created the path for Women of Color in Flight. African American aviatrix Bessie Coleman was forced to gain her pilot’s license in France in 1921 due to racism and sexism in the United States—but that is just a part of the story and not even the beginning. Numerous women of color before and after her made their marks as scientists, pilots, engineers, technicians and builders of our imagination.

They stand for an hour or more, in blazing sun or winter cold, waiting patiently to pay their respects to the Great Helmsman. They place flowers at the foot of a Mao statue. They gaze reverentially at the chairman's crystal coffin, often bowing to the waxy corpse inside. Almost 30 years after his death, Mao remains the sacred symbol that China dare not touch. His massive portrait still looms above the entrance to the Forbidden City. His face is on every banknote in the country. Yet while he continues to be worshipped in China, a shocking new book has concluded that Mao was the bloodiest mass murderer in history, a sadistic thug who enjoyed torture and was willing to sacrifice half of China's population for his dream of global domination. The biography, based on 10 years of archival research and interviews with people in Mao's inner circle, is a stunning challenge to China's conventional view of the Communist leader. The book estimates that Mao caused the deaths of 70 million people in peacetime, making him a far worse killer than Hitler or Stalin."

The war was interrupted when Japan invaded China in 1936 and by World War II. The war was fought between the nationalist government of China, also called the Kuomintang (KMT), and the Communist Party of China (CPC). Dates: 1927-1936, 1945 - 1950 Leaders The Kuomintang was founded by Sun Yat-sen. The group was led by Chiang Kai-shek throughout the civil war. Important generals included Bai Chongxi and Chen Cheng.

Mao Zedong soon became the most important member of the CCP. He adapted the ideas of Lenin who had successfully achieved a revolution in Russia in 1917. He argued that in Asia it was important to concentrate on the countryside rather than the towns, in order to create a revolutionary elite. With the help of advisers from the Soviet Union the Kuomintang gradually increased its power in China. Its leader, Sun Yat-sen died on 12th March 1925.

"text": "author Q & AWhy Will China Collapse? China’s political and economic system is unsustainable in a modern world. Mao Zedong, the founder of the People’s Republic, built an abnormal society and then isolated it from all others. His system could survive as long as China was kept apart from the rest of the world, but Mao’s successors have sought to open the People’s Republic to the outside. As the country becomes more integrated with other nations, the same forces that apply around the globe—political, economic, and social—also affect China. At some point in this process Mao’s abnormal system will give way because it is fundamentally incompatible with the role that China now seeks to occupy in the international system. Soon, the Chinese government will not be able to meet the challenges posed by an open and dynamic society. What do you mean by “collapse”? After the collapse there will be a new form of government and the Communist Party will no longer be in power. There will, of course, always be a China—but not one that is communist."

"text": "Mao Zedong Mao Zedong, who ruled China till his death in 1976History has cast Mao Zedong as the face of communism in China. Mao rose from humble origins, born to a family of peasant farmers in Hunan province. His father owned enough land to be able to provide the young Mao with a basic education. Though he fought briefly with revolutionary forces in 1911, most of Mao’s early life was spent as an academic, a librarian and a primary school principal. He was a voracious reader of texts and speeches, including traditional Chinese philosophy and Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto. Mao began as a Marxist but in time his ideology was transformed by his sympathies with China’s peasantry. In 1921 Mao was one of a dozen delegates to attend the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) first congress. He was subsequently elected as the CCP’s general secretary in his home province of Hunan. In 1930 Mao’s first wife, Yang Kaihui, was tortured and killed in front of her eight-year-old son by Kuomintang agents. The following year Mao relocated to Jiangxi, where he was put in charge of the local soviet there."

The Chinese people have shared a common culture longer than any other group on Earth. The Chinese writing system, for example, dates back almost 4,000 years. The imperial dynastic system of government, which continued for centuries, was established as early as 221 BC. Although specific dynasties were overturned, the dynastic system survived. China was even ruled at times by foreign invaders, such as the Mongols during the Yuan Dynasty, from AD 1279 to 1368, and the Manchus during the Ch'ing Dynasty, from AD 1644 to 1911, but the foreigners were largely absorbed into the culture they governed. It is as if the Roman Empire had lasted from the time of the Caesars to the 20th century, and during that time had evolved a cultural system and written language shared by all the peoples of Europe. The dynastic system was overturned in 1911, and a weak republican form of government existed until 1949. In that year, after a long civil war, the People's Republic of China, with a Communist government, was proclaimed."

Mao was the leader of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from 1935 until his death, and he was chairman (chief of state) of the People’s Republic of China from 1949 to 1959 and chairman of the party also until his death. When China emerged from a half century of revolution as the world’s most populous country and launched itself on a path of economic development and social change, Mao Zedong occupied a critical place in the story of the country’s resurgence. To be sure, he did not play a dominant role throughout the whole struggle. In the early years of the CCP, he was a secondary figure, though by no means a negligible one, and even after the 1940s (except perhaps during the Cultural Revolution) the crucial decisions were not his alone. Nevertheless, looking at the whole period from the foundation of the CCP in 1921 to Mao’s death in 1976, one can fairly regard Mao Zedong as the principal architect of the new China. Read More on This Topic Maoism…methodology for revolution developed by Mao Zedong and his associates in the Chinese Communist Party from the 1920s until Mao’s death in 1976.

The only remaining part of China under Communist control was the island of Taiwan. The chairman of the Communist Party was Mao Zedong. Two days before the People's Republic of China was announced, Communist Party leaders drew up a common programme that outlined the Party's aims and intentions such as independence, democracy, peace, unity and prosperity. All sorts of problems got in the way of reaching these targets. Previously, there had been three years of civil war, which had left China in a mess. There were millions of peasants with not enough food and the population was rising by 15 million a year. Cities were in chaos and inflation had made the currency worthless. There was also a high level of unemployment. To add to this, there was also the threat of being attacked by the Guomindang in Taiwan."

The United States sent many supplies and money to help fight the Japanese. After Japan surrendered, the Nationalists and Communists resumed their fighting. Mao Zing’s victory in this battle fueled U.

He has been front and centre of China's push to cement its position as a superpower, while also launching crackdowns on corruption and dissent. A consummate political chess player who has cultivated an enigmatic strongman image, the leader of the ruling Chinese Communist Party has rapidly consolidated power, having his ideas mentioned by name in the constitution - an honour that had been reserved only to Mao Zedong until now. The \"\"Xi Jinping Thought\"\" means that any challenge to the president will now be seen as a threat to Communist Party rule. A seven-man leadership committee unveiled in October 2017 included no obvious heir, raising the prospect that Mr Xi intended to govern beyond the next five years. The Communist Party has now confirmed that aim, with a proposal to remove a clause in the constitution that limits the presidency to two terms. Princeling, peasant, president Born in Beijing in 1953, Xi Jinping is the son of revolutionary veteran Xi Zhongxun, one of the Communist Party's founding fathers and a vice-premier. Because of his illustrious roots, Mr Xi is seen as a \"\"princeling\"\" - a child of elite senior officials who has risen up the ranks. But his family's fortunes took a drastic turn when his father was purged in 1962 prior to the Cultural Revolution and imprisoned. At the age of 15, the younger Xi was sent to the countryside for \"\"re-education\"\" and hard labour in the remote and poor village of Liangjiahe for seven years - an experience that would later figure largely in his official story."

At the beginning of the century China was a mess –there was almost no industry, an ineffectual and corrupt government and no standing whatsoever on the world stage. By the end of our timeline, China is arguably in as good shape as at any point in her history. The economy seems unstoppable, the government, though far from perfect, is at least stable, and China is just beginning to flex her considerable muscles on the world stage.20th Century Chinese History – Tough times to live through The 20th Century may have seen China emerge stronger, but it was a terrible period to live through for many Chinese. Whatever the more recent traumas Chinese may have faced, they cannot compare in scale to the destruction of WW2 and the civil war, the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. The blame for two of those events – the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, can be placed squarely on the shoulders of one man – Chairman Mao Zedong. Of course, Mao wasn’t all bad for China – and nor was he the only influential figure – other important names include Sun Yatsen, Chiang Kaishek and Deng Xiaoping.

Answer by Vtel57 Confidence votes 468Mao Zedong (December 26, 1893 - September 9, 1976), also transliterated as Mao Tse-Tung (in the now less commonly-used Wade-Giles transliteration), was a Chinese Marxist theorist, soldier, and statesman who led China's communist revolution following decades of civil war. Until his death, Mao retained his unquestionable place in the Politburo of the Communist Party of China since 1943 and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China since 1945. As a prominent leader and a veteran having fought many battles, Mao, during the Chinese Civil War, led the Communist Party of China (CPC) to a series of victories that drove the Kuomintang (KMT) and its troops to the island of Taiwan. On October 1, 1949, at Tiananmen Square, Beijing, Mao announced the establishment of the People's Republic of China. From the 1950s onward, Mao pursued his ideals for a strong and prosperous China, endeavoring to rebuild a new functional government and relieve the poverty of the peasants that made up the majority of population in China. However, it has been argued that movements such as the Anti-Rightist Campaign, the Great Leap Forward, and the Cultural Revolution greatly hamstrung China's development, leading to economic hardship, social turmoil and starvation. Although the exact figure is disputed, it is widely believed tens of millions died as a result of such policies. After Mao had seized power over mainland China in 1949, a personality cult was developed to deify Mao as, for example, the Grand Helmsman and Saviour of China, which increased his domination of the Communist Party of China and the government.48 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

He inspired future travelers, including Christopher Columbus. Born presumably in the Republic of Venice around 1254, Marco Polo played an important role in cartography. His pioneering explorations of East Asia, as depicted in his iconic book, led to the 1450 Fra Mauro map which has been considered the “greatest memorial of medieval cartography.” His father, Niccolo Polo was a wealthy merchant who traded with the Middle East and travelled with Maffeo Polo, Marco’s uncle, through Asia. While in Constantinople, the Polos foresaw a political shift in 1260 and headed for the Volga River, reaching the court of Berke Khan, the sovereign of the western territories of the Mongol Empire. These skillful merchants doubled their assets while in Bolghar and also became friends with Kublai Khan, the fifth Great Khan of the Mongol Empire. Marco Polo only met his father and uncle in 1269, when the Polo brothers returned to Venice. After the death of his mother, Marco was raised by his aunt and received education in trade-related subjects such as foreign currency and managing cargo ships. Journey to Asia In 1271, the Polo family decided to embark on a long, adventurous journey in Asia, travelling around 15,000 miles and passing through China, Japan and India."

Last updated: March 5, 2018 17 Comments Published: March 30, 2014The Italian Marco Polo is probably the world’s most famous traveler and one of the world’s first travel writers. The famous Venetian is believed to have left Venice at age 17 to embark on a 24-year journey through the Persian Gulf and Asia, spending much of this time in China in the court of the great Mongol emperor Kublai Khan. Polo’s book, Description of the World, offered one of the first detailed descriptions of the then mysterious eastern cultures to Europeans and would even inspire Christopher Columbus. The world that Polo described seemed quite strange and unbelievable to most readers, and even today many historians question the veracity of many of his stories. Some historians even doubt whether Marco Polo existed at all. Intrigued? I was very interested in learning more about this famous man and will share what I found during my research about the man, his amazing travels, and the legacy of Marco Polo. Depiction of Polo in Tartar costume Marco Polo: The Man and His Incredible Journey Early Life Marco Polo is believed to have been born in 1254 in Venice, Italy (a few believe he was born on the island of Korčula in present day Croatia).

How Did Marco Polo Change the World? Credit: Bryce Edwards CC-BY 2.0Full Answer The exact origin of the game is uncertain, but, according to the Smithsonian Institution, it almost certainly comes from the travels of Marco Polo. The explorer and his family were Venetian jewel merchants. In the thirteenth century, Polo, a teenager, joined his father and uncle on an expedition along the Silk Road from Italy to China. The expedition gained notoriety because it was unusual for merchants to travel the entire length of the route themselves; they usually hired middlemen."

"text": "\"December 12, 20166:00pm PT by Lesley Goldberg'Marco Polo' Canceled at Netflix After Two Seasons Netflix'Marco Polo'The drama from The Weinstein Co. joins a short list of series dropped by the streaming giant. Netflix's Marco Polo has reached the end of its road. The streaming giant has opted to cancel the scripted drama after two seasons, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. It becomes the first Netflix original scripted series to not be renewed for a third season. Originally developed with a straight-to-series order at Starz back in 2012, Marco Polo debuted to dismal reviews — THR chief TV critic Tim Goodman called it \"\"a middling mess, complete with random accents, slow story and kung fu\"\" — and little buzz. The drama, produced by The Weinstein Co., featured a global cast that included Lorenzo Richelmy in the title role with Benedict Wong as Kublai Khan. The second season launched quietly July 1, with options on the cast set to expire at year's end. Sources tell THR that the series, across both seasons, was responsible for a $200 million loss to the streaming giant. Sources say the decision to not move forward with a third season of Marco Polo was a joint one between Netflix and TWC. \"\" We want to thank and are grateful to our partners on Marco Polo from the actors, whose performances were enthralling and top-notch; to the committed producers, including John Fusco, Dan Minahan, Patrick Macmanus, and their crew, who poured their hearts into the series; and of course Harvey [Weinstein], David [Glasser] and our friends at TWC, who were great collaborators from start to finish,\"\" Netflix vp original content Cindy Holland said Monday in a statement."

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.

His well-documented travels to China were some of the most influential in world history, and did much to kickstart the European age of exploration. Introduction Marco Polo was born in Venice, Italy on September 15, 1254. His father and uncle were prosperous merchants who already begun trading with Chinese and Eastern merchants. Because of the constant threat of war, the Polos left Venice and eventually settled in what is now Uzbekistan. The move east to Uzbekistan made trading with China and the East much easier. In 1264, Marco’s father Nicolo, and uncle, Maffio set out on a two-year long journey to meet Kublai Khan, the emperor of China in what is now Beijing. According to the account of Marco Polo, Kublai Khan received them well and requested they come back to teach the Chinese people Christianity and western customs.

"text": "Italian Trader at the Court of Kublai Khan At the height of the Mongol Empire, Marco Polo served Emperor Kublai Khan in China and returned to Venice to write an account of his experiences that would give Europeans some of their earliest information about China. A drawing of Marco Polo © Bettmann/CORBISBackground In the 13th century, people who lived in Venice, Italy, believed that the Sun revolved around the Earth and that creation occurred exactly 4,484 years before Rome was founded. As Christians, they considered Jerusalem, the place of Jesus’s crucifixion, to be the so-called navel of the world, and their maps portrayed this. Marco Polo was born in Venice, or possibly Croatia, in 1254. Located on the eastern coast of Italy, Venice served as a gateway to the riches of Asia during this era of increasing trade. Goods flowed like water through the city. Ships from around the eastern Mediterranean docked at its port. Merchants and traders set sail from Venice for Constantinople (now Istanbul) and the Black Sea to fetch goods from Russia and from merchants who traveled the Silk Roads, a system of trading routes to and from China that crossed the mountains and deserts of Central Asia. At the time of Marco’s birth, his father, Niccolo, and two uncles, all merchants, were away trading. Supposedly they were visiting cities on the Black Sea, but their adventures had actually taken them all the way to the Mongol capital of China, Khanbaliq (city of the Khan)."

"text": "\"What is Orientalism, and how is it also racism? It always surprises me how, even among anti-racist activists (let alone the general population), there is a general ignorance of what Orientalism is and how it contributes to contemporary examples of anti-Asian racism. Recently, I wrote a post about Air France’s new ad campaign “France is in the Air” — which contains images that are both mundane and textbook examples of modern Orientalism — and have since been inundated by many tweets and comments arguing that the campaign is “not racist”.https://twitter.com/Sara Piou/status/456540692668354561@originalspin @airfrance @reappropriate There's nothing remotely wrong with these ads, clichés of course but definitely not racist— Varoon (????)

And, perhaps that’s not entirely surprising. Although Orientalism has been asserted to be one of the three pillars of White supremacy by Andrea Smith in her seminal paper “ Heteropatriarchy and the Three Pillars of White Supremacy ” — with Orientalism as a separate and distinct logic alongside anti-Blackness and anti-Indigenous colonialism — Orientalism also appears to be among the least discussed and most poorly understood logic of White supremacy even within digital anti-racist spaces: a 30 second Google search on “Orientalism” pulls up only a handful of articles, and my recently published Air France article (which incidentally was written from the assumption that the reader already understands what Orientalism is) appears on the first page. While I have several ideas as to why Orientalism remains so minimally explored among anti-racist thinkers of the digital realm, the recent responses I’ve received to my Air France article suggests that a primer on what Orientalism is, and how it operates as an underlying motivation for anti-Asian racism, is perhaps long overdue. So, without further ado: what is Orientalism?"

Maps attributed to the 13th-century traveler sketch what looks like the coast of Alaska“Map with Ship” has the informality of a “napkin sketch on vellum,” says map expert John Hessler, suggesting its maker was not a trained cartographer. ( Library of Congress, Geography & Map Division)By Ariel Sabar Smithsonian Magazine | Subscribe October 2014For a guy who claimed to spend 17 years in China as a confidant of Kublai Khan, Marco Polo left a surprisingly skimpy paper trail. No Asian sources mention the footloose Italian. The only record of his 13th-century odyssey through the Far East is the hot air of his own Travels, which was actually an “as told to” penned by a writer of romances. But a set of 14 parchments, now collected and exhaustively studied for the first time, give us a raft of new stories about Polo’s journeys and something notably missing from his own account: maps. If genuine, the maps would show that Polo recorded the shape of the Alaskan coast—and the strait separating it from Asia—four centuries before Vitus Bering, the Danish explorer long considered the first European to do so. Perhaps more important, they suggest Polo was aware of the New World two centuries before Columbus. “It would mean that an Italian got knowledge of the west coast of North America or he heard about it from Arabs or Chinese,” says Benjamin B. Olshin, a historian of cartography whose book, The Mysteries of the Marco Polo Maps, is out in November from the University of Chicago Press. “ There’s nothing else that matches that, if that’s true."

In the not-too-distant past, however, people could only imagine what lay beyond the scope of their land.

At the time that Polo embarked on his sojourn, Western Europeans knew very little about the countries Polo visited. China in particular was a mystery because it's surrounded by treacherous mountain terrain, deserts and oceans. Before travel from Europe to China became commonplace, information and goods from faraway lands were obtained primarily from people who traveled the Silk Road.

Marco Polo was one of the first and most famous Europeans to travel to Asia during the Middle Ages. He traveled farther than any of his predecessors during his 24-year journey along the Silk Road, reaching China and Mongolia, where he became a confidant of Kublai Khan. The story of his journey is told in \"\"Il Milione\"\" (\"\"The Million\"\"), commonly called \"\"The Travels of Marco Polo.\"\" Polo's adventures influenced European mapmakers and inspired Christopher Columbus. In Polo's day and even today, there has been some doubt about whether Polo really went to China. However, most experts agree that he did indeed make the journey. Early life Marco Polo was born around 1254 into a wealthy Venetian merchant family, though the actual date and location of his birth are unknown. His father, Niccolo, and his uncle Maffeo were successful jewel merchants who spent much of Marco's childhood in Asia. Marco's mother died when he was young; therefore, young Marco was primarily raised by extended family. \"\""

He was the first known European explorer to reach the islands of Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania) and New Zealand, and to sight the Fiji islands. His navigator François Visscher, and his merchant Isaack Gilsemans, mapped substantial portions of Australia, New Zealand and some Pacific Islands.

Think of is as playing a variation of tag -- in the water! The person who is \"\"Marco\"\" has to have his eyes closed the entire time.2 Have Marco count to ten before searching for anybody. All players should start out in the pool. Marco should stand in place, counting loudly to ten, giving the players enough time to disperse. They'll want to be as far away from Marco as possible to avoid getting caught -- unless they're risky players who like living on the edge! Once he counts to ten, he can begin searching for people, but he has to keep his eyes closed.3 Have Marco shout \"\"Marco\"\" while everyone else answers by shouting \"\"Polo. \"\" Marco can yell \"\"Marco\"\" as often as he likes."

"text": "\"The History of Macaroni In 1274, the most famous of medieval travelers, the Venetian Marco Polo, embarked on a voyage of discovery to the unknown lands of the East. Twenty-four years later he returned to Venice with fabulous stories about exotic places that became the major source of information about the East during the Renaissance. Legend has it that among the marvelous things he encountered in China was macaroni and that he introduced it to Europe--but legend it is. The real story of macaroni is a complex one and, appropriately, as slippery as a wet noodle. The complicated story of macaroni--the generic term for all dried alimentary pastes cooked in broth or water, also called pasta or noodles--will be set out as an inquiry into the meaning, origin, and importance of this food, as well as of two other important products also made from hard wheat--couscous and hardtack. 1Macaroni The invention of macaroni (what the Italians call pasta secca and which specifies dried--versus fresh, pasta fresca --pasta) has been attributed to the Etruscans, the Chinese, the Greeks, and the Romans, as well as the Arabs. I will try to lay out the history of macaroni as best we know it. But first we must ask what macaroni is and why it is important. The way the term macaroni is used by scholars is determined by the kind of wheat used to make it. The mystery over the origin of macaroni is clouded by the fact that food writers traditionally have failed to discuss and distinguish the varieties of wheat."

It was part of the route that Marco Polo took on his journey across Central Asia in the 13 th century. The Corridor itself was created during the Great Game era (1800’s) by the Russian and British who decided their empires should not have a joint border in order to avoid conflicts, so they created this buffer zone, an artificial finger sticking towards China. Wakhan Corridor – Afghanistan Border While we expected the mostly unpaved route through the Wakhan Corridor could be difficult, it seldom required four-wheel drive. We had previously obtained the special permit required to enter the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region. The attraction of this route along the Afghan border was the beautiful mountains, some of the highest in the world. As we followed the Panj River and the later the Pamir, always along the Afghan border, the mountain ranges around us have been called the “Roof of the World”. On the southern border of the Wakhan Corridor, the Hindu Kush Mountains could be seen in Pakistan. Passing the occasional village, simple homes were built of rocks and one handful of mud at a time. Patches of potatoes, wheat and other grains were cultivated by hand."

"text": "\"\"\"When a man is riding through this desert by night and for some reason -falling asleep or anything else -he gets separated from his companions and wants to rejoin them, he hears spirit voices talking to him as if they were his companions, sometimes even calling him by name. Often these voices lure him away from the path and he never finds it again, and many travelers have got lost and died because of this. Sometimes in the night travelers hear a noise like the clatter of a great company of riders away from the road; if they believe that these are some of their own company and head for the noise, they find themselves in deep trouble when daylight comes and they realize their mistake. There were some who, in crossing the desert, have been a host of men coming towards them and, suspecting that they were robbers, returning, they have gone hopelessly astray.... Even by daylight men hear these spirit voices, and often you fancy you are listening to the strains of many instruments, especially drums, and the clash of arms. For this reason bands of travelers make a point of keeping very close together. Before they go to sleep they set up a sign pointing in the direction in which they have to travel, and round the necks of all their beasts they fasten little bells, so that by listening to the sound they may prevent them from straying off the path.\"\" ---- Marco Polo, Travels Marco Polo (1254-1324), is probably the most famous Westerner traveled on the Silk Road.

"text": "TVBreaking News Cancellations Primetime Pilot Panic Marco Polo Netflix Netflix Marco Polo has come to an end. Netflix has opted not to renew the drama series about the famous 13th century merchant and explorer for a third season. Marco Polo, which launched in 2014, was the first Netflix original series developed in the US for the global market. Created by John Fusco, it was inspired by Marco Polo’s early years in the court of Kublai Khan. Because of its setting and scope, the series, produced by the Weinstein Co., had a healthy budget. It attracted sizable viewership in its first season, earning a second season renewal, but the second season, released in July, was more quiet. “We want to thank and are grateful to our partners on Marco Polo from the actors, whose performances were enthralling and top-notch; to the committed producers, including John Fusco, Dan Minahan, Patrick Macmanus, and their crew, who poured their hearts into the series; and of course Harvey, David and our friends at TWC, who were great collaborators from start to finish,” said Cindy Holland, Netflix VP of Original Content. The Weinstein Co., which also has upcoming Navy SEAL drama series Six on History, has ramped up its TV slate with several high-profile series orders in the past couple of months, for two high-end dramas at Amazon — a David O. Russell project starring Robert De Niro and Julianne Moore, and a Matt Weiner series — as well as event series Waco at Spike with Taylor Kitsch and Michael Shannon starring and Jay Z’s docuseries Time: The Kalief Browder Story, also at Spike. “Netflix has been incredible to give us the room to make a series with a cast true to every principle of diversity. It’s a bold network that allows you to do that and support us in the way that Netflix did,” said Harvey Weinstein, Co-Chairman of The Weinstein Company. “"

It was in these northern cities that the environment of imagination and creativity and the generous spirit of patronage blossomed. See Image one Genoa Genoa is located on Italy's north-western coastline. It was considered one of Italy's greatest mercantile (commercial) powers during the Middle Ages. Genoa was also an important sea port during the time of the Roman Empire, due to its position at the crossroads of Italy and Northern Europe and its natural harbour, which is located in the deepest gulf of the Mediterranean Sea. During the Middle Ages, Genoa was a rival power to the eastern Italian trading ports of Venice and Pisa. By the late 15th century, Genoa began looking to the west for trading opportunities, establishing commercial relations with Spain and Portugal. Genoa was the birthplace of Christopher Columbus, the Italian explorer who 'discovered' the Americas in 1492 after being commissioned by the Spanish Royals, Isabella and Ferdinand of Castile, to find an alternate route to India. See Image two Venice Venice, a city built on a group of islands located just off Italy's north-eastern coastline, was another one of Italy's major mercantile powers during the Middle Ages. For much of this period, Venice was known as the 'Queen of the Adriatic' (the sea which lies between Italy and the Dalmatian Coast of present-day Croatia) because of its strength in trade and commerce."

"text": "Marco Polo, (born c. 1254, Venice [Italy]—died January 8, 1324, Venice), Venetian merchant and adventurer, who traveled from Europe to Asia in 1271–95, remaining in China for 17 of those years, and whose Il milione (“The Million”), known in English as the Travels of Marco Polo, is a classic of travel literature. Travels of the Polo family Polo’s way was paved by the pioneering efforts of his ancestors, especially his father, Niccolò, and his uncle, Maffeo. The family had traded with the Middle East for a long time, acquiring considerable wealth and prestige. Although it is uncertain if the Polos were of the nobility, the matter was of little importance in Venice, a city of republican and mercantile traditions. The family appears to have been shrewd, alert, and courageous; about 1260 they foresaw a political change in Constantinople (e.g., the overthrow of the Crusaders who had ruled since 1204 by Michael VIII Palaeologus in 1261), liquidated their property there, invested their capital in jewels, and set off for the Volga River, where Berke Khan, sovereign of the western territories in the Mongol Empire, held court at Sarai or Bulgar. The Polos apparently managed their affairs well at Berke’s court, where they doubled their assets. When political events prevented their return to Venice, they traveled eastward to Bukhara (Bokhara) and ended their journey in 1265, probably at the grand khan’s summer residence, Shangdu (immortalized as Xanadu by English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge ). Establishing friendly relations with the great Kublai Khan, they eventually returned to Europe as his ambassadors, carrying letters asking the pope to send Kublai 100 intelligent men “acquainted with the Seven Arts”; they also bore gifts and were asked to bring back oil from the lamp burning at the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Polo’s journey to Asia Little is known about Marco’s early years except that he probably grew up in Venice. He was age 15 or 16 when his father and uncle returned to meet him and learned that the pope, Clement IV, had recently died."

Discover 11 fascinating facts about the life of one of history’s greatest explorers. Marco Polo’s famous travelogue was penned in prison. Marco Polo is remembered thanks to a colorful and popular narrative about his eastward voyage, known simply as “The Travels of Marco Polo.” Ironically, this record of Polo’s freewheeling years as an explorer was written while he languished behind bars. In 1298, three years after he returned from his journey, Polo was captured after leading a Venetian galley into battle against the rival Italian city-state of Genoa. While in prison he encountered Rustichello of Pisa, a fellow captive who was known as a talented writer of romances. Eager to document his years as a traveler, Polo dictated his life story to Rustichello, who acted as a kind of ghostwriter."

His account of his experiences is one of the most important travel documents ever written. Family business Born into a noble family of Venetian merchants, Marco Polo began his long experience with Cathay through the adventures of his father, Niccolo, and his uncle, Maffeo Polo, partners in a trading operation at a time when Venice was the world leader in foreign commerce. The Polos had left Venice to travel all the way to Peking, China, and back when Marco was only six years old. During their nine-year absence, Marco was raised by his mother and other members of his extended family. He became a tough, loyal, observant young man, eager to please and interested in adventure. Marco Polo's father and uncle were well received in China by the Mongol prince Kublai Khan in 1266. The Polos impressed Kublai Khan with their intelligence and their knowledge of the world. For these reasons he kept them around for several years. In 1269 he sent them to Rome as his messengers with a request that the pope send one hundred Europeans to share their knowledge with him."

"text": "Should Christians Believe in the Existence of Unicorns? Posted on June 2, 2011 by Tim Chaffey Critics and skeptics love to mock Christians because some older translations of the Bible, such as the King James Version, mention unicorns in nine different verses. My employer, Answers in Genesis, has frequently been ridiculed on this point. Someone has developed a unicorn museum website to spoof the Creation Museum site. Many atheists and other skeptics have derided the Ark Encounter project by asking if there will be unicorns on the Ark. The video linked to in this article shows a few examples of skeptics mocking biblical creationists on this issue. So what is this all about? The word translated as “unicorn” in the KJV, is often rendered as “wild ox” in modern translations (the Hebrew word is re’em ). For example, see Psalm 22:21 and Job 39:9–12 in the KJV and then compare to a modern version like the NKJV or NASB. Is this mystical creature what the King James Version refers to as a unicorn?

The Chinese people have shared a common culture longer than any other group on Earth. The Chinese writing system, for example, dates back almost 4,000 years. The imperial dynastic system of government, which continued for centuries, was established as early as 221 BC. Although specific dynasties were overturned, the dynastic system survived. China was even ruled at times by foreign invaders, such as the Mongols during the Yuan Dynasty, from AD 1279 to 1368, and the Manchus during the Ch'ing Dynasty, from AD 1644 to 1911, but the foreigners were largely absorbed into the culture they governed. It is as if the Roman Empire had lasted from the time of the Caesars to the 20th century, and during that time had evolved a cultural system and written language shared by all the peoples of Europe. The dynastic system was overturned in 1911, and a weak republican form of government existed until 1949. In that year, after a long civil war, the People's Republic of China, with a Communist government, was proclaimed."

After her mother died and her father could no longer support her she became a governess, reading and studying in her own time to quench her thirst for knowledge. She never lost this passion. To become a teacher – the only alternative which would allow her to be independent – was never a possibility because a lack of money prevented her from a formal higher education. However, when her sister offered her lodgings in Paris with a view to going to university, she grasped the opportunity and moved to France in 1891. She immediately entered Sorbonne University in Paris where she read physics and mathematics – she had naturally discovered a love of the subjects through her insatiable appetite for learning. It was in Paris, in 1894, that she met Pierre Curie – a scientist working in the city – and who she married a year later.

Curie. ”By Maria Popova“Read obituaries,” Charles Wheelan advised in his wonderful 10½ Things No Commencement Speaker Has Ever Said. “ Obituaries are just like biographies, only shorter. They remind us that interesting, successful people rarely lead orderly, linear lives. ”On July 4, 1934, legendary Polish-born physicist and chemist Marie Curie — sage of science, reconstructionist, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the only person to date to win a Nobel in two different sciences — took her last breath. Marie Curie The following day, The New York Times published a lengthy obituary for Curie, which began on the front page and spilled over into the interior of the paper — a rare outlier in mainstream media’s recently bemoaned severe gender bias in notable deaths, amidst the travesty of opening a remembrance for a female rocket scientist with her Beef Stroganoff recipe. Curie’s obituary, however, was a true masterpiece of the genre, celebrating Curie’s spirit and legacy in a beautifully dimensional way: PARIS, July 4. — Mme."

Maria’s family wanted Poland to be an independent country. Marie’s mother and father – Bronislawa and Wladyslaw – were both teachers and encouraged her interest in science. When Marie was aged 10, her mother died. Marie started attending a boarding school, then moved to a gymnasium – a selective school for academically strong children. Aged 15, Marie graduated from high school, winning the gold medal for top student."

This proved that the atoms of one element at least were not indivisible. Marie Curie's Study: The Discovery of Radium and Polonium /Radioactivity Who is Marie Curie? A Polish born French Chemist, with her French born husband Pierre Curie (1859-1906), Marie Curie (1867-1934) worked on radioactivity and in 1898 she reported the possible existence of a new, powerfully radioactive element in pitch blend ores. Her husband abandoned his own researches to assist her and discovered the radioactive elements polonium and radium in the pure state in 1902. They both refused to take out a patient on their discoveries and were jointly awarded the Davy Medal in 1903. What's Radioactivity? Radioactivity is the spontaneous disintegration of an unstable nucleus, by the emission of a small particle (i.e. an alpha-particle or a beta-particle) or by the change of the energy level of the nucleus by the emission of a gamma-ray. In other words, elements may change into another element naturally due to unstable nucleus. \"\" Radioactivity is an atomic property of matter and can provide a means of seeking new elements."

She shared the Prize with her husband, Jean Frédéric Joliot-Curie, for their discovery of “artificial radioactivity,” which they achieved by bombarding boron, aluminum, and magnesium with alpha particles to create radioactive isotopes. The Curies have more Nobel laureates than any other family. The pair publically adopted a hyphenated surname, but according to their daughter Hélène Langevin-Joliot, \"\"Many people used to name my parents Joliot-Curie, but they signed their scientific papers Irène Curie and Frédéric Joliot. \"\"2. Gerty Theresa Cori // Physiology or Medicine (1947)Getty Images Gerty and her husband, Carl Cori, met in Prague and lived in Austria before immigrating to the United States in 1922, where the two medical doctors worked together (against the advice of their colleagues) at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in New York. The Coris studied carbohydrate metabolism, a specialty largely driven by Gerty’s father, a diabetic who asked her to find a cure for his disease. Though their collaboration was unusual (even called “un-American,” according to Carl’s autobiography), the Coris were an amazing team."

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."

A metal Maltese cross, placed between the plate and radioactive uranium salt, left a clearly visible shadow on the plate. Credit: Henri Becquerel February 26, 1896, was an overcast day in Paris — and that presented a problem for French physicist Antoine Henri Becquerel. Becquerel was hoping to demonstrate a link between minerals that glow when exposed to strong light and a new type of electromagnetic radiation called X-rays. The weather thwarted this experiment — but that failure inadvertently produced an entirely new discovery: natural radioactivity. Becquerel was interested in the phenomenon of fluorescence, in which some materials glow when exposed to sunlight. Physicist Wilhelm Röntgen had recently discovered X-rays; Becquerel thought the two phenomena might be connected, and had designed an experiment of his own. He planned to expose a fluorescing material to the sun, and then place it and a metal object over an unexposed photographic plate. If the developed plate showed the image of the object, he concluded, that would suggest that fluorescing materials are actually emitting X-rays. But the next day was cloudy as well, and Becquerel was forced to postpone his experiment."

She met Pierre Curie, Professor in the School of Physics in 1894 and in the following year they were married. She succeeded her husband as Head of the Physics Laboratory at the Sorbonne, gained her Doctor of Science degree in 1903, and following the tragic death of Pierre Curie in 1906, she took his place as Professor of General Physics in the Faculty of Sciences, the first time a woman had held this position.

Marie Curie wondered what was radiation and how might understanding it benefit the human race. Throughout her investigations Marie Curie learned many things about radioactivity that proved the field to be extremely worthy of study. The largest controversy that surrounded Curie and her investigations of radioactivity is that she was a women in a time when women were not scientists. Ultimately, Marie Curie and her studies of radioactivity helped to open the field of atomic physics for study, while simultaneously opening doors for women in the field of science. Background Information: Marie Curie worked with her partner and husband Pierre during most of her life as a scientist. Perhaps the most significant work that Marie did was a few years following her marriage to Pierre . Much of Curie’s first work was on the study of magnetism; however as she researched magnetism a German physicist named Willliam Rontgen cathode rays outside of the typical cathode ray tubes that were commonly used. Rontgen, as well as many other scientists of the time, was experimenting with how thick of a surface cathode rays could penetrate. Rontgen gave the mysterious rays that could seemingly penetrate solid objects the name X-Rays, and he traveled the world demonstrating their fascinating properties."

After a monumental struggle, she achieves global fame and respect; her funeral is accompanied by all the pomp and circumstances her nation can muster. Sound familiar? You guessed it: Marie Curie. The Polish-born physicist and chemist – who was the only person ever to have won a Nobel prize in two different disciplines – rose from obscurity to discover a new element, radium, and undertake pioneering radiation research. Initially, she was buried at a modest cemetery in Sceaux, a Parisian suburb. In 1995, she was exhumed and became the first woman to be entombed on her own merits in the Panthéon in Paris. First, however, her body had to be tested for traces of radiation. One of the revelations in the superb documentary was that she was unlikely to have died of radiation poisoning, as folklore would have one believe."
