"text": "Storage Wars star 'commits suicide in his car a day after being arrested on drug charges'By Daily Mail Reporter Published: 23:42 EDT, 11 February 2013 | Updated: 19:25 EDT, 13 February 201342View comments A star of the reality show Storage Wars has committed suicide a day after he was arrested on drug charges. Mark Balelo, who had made frequent appearances on the television show, was found dead on Monday morning when his co-worker discovered his body in his car that he parked inside the auction house garage. Though poisoning seems likely since the engine of his car was left running, a full autopsy will be completed on Tuesday. Scroll down for video Suicide: Mark Balelo was found dead in his parked car after an apparent carbon monoxide poisoning Becoming big: Balelo was appearing in more and more episodes of Storage Wars TMZ reports that Balelo was arrested on Saturday for an unspecified drug-related offense. He allegedly called his fiancé when he was released from jail and begged her to meet him at his office because he was so distraught and thought he might self harm.

Share this article The site reports that he and his fiancé spoke for a few hours on Sunday and she was still there when he took a nap and woke up feeling better. She later left the office, and he was next found dead by a co-worker on Monday morning inside the enclosed garage. Little is known about the drug charges that caused Balelo to be so upset, but it is not his first legal run-in. Rising star: Balelo had made frequent appearances on the show Storage Wars and was gaining popularity Radar reported in December that he previously spent 45 days in jail after violating a probation order from an earlier felony drug conviction. That instance stems back to 2009 when he was charged with the sale or transportation of a controlled substance."

What we fail to understand is that both Mark Antony (Caesar's cause) and Brutus were right in their own way. When Caesar was returning to Rome, he had all intentions of taking over the parliamentary system and establishing control. After defeating Pompey and his supporters, Caesar virtually ended the Triumvirate and became the most powerful person in Rome. This was a very frightening situation for Brutus and his supporters. Being accustomed to a democratic rule where all members have an equal voice, some members of the senate were very alarmed at this rude shift in power. Brutus and Cassius did what they feel was right. So, when Brutus said Caesar must die, He had to choose between his friend and his country. Brutus choose his country. Brutus choose to become the villain for the greater good."

According to tradition, the author, Mark is not an apostle himself. Not one of the original disciples, but rather the follower of one of them. Traditionally, he's supposed to be the disciple of Peter .... We don't know exactly where this Mark was or where he actually wrote. However, tradition places him at Rome, but one more tradition also has him located at Alexandria, and it may be the case that the story that we call Mark's gospel, which supposedly derived from Peter, is also an example of this passing on of an oral tradition. It owes its history to Mark, whether Mark is the person who actually wrote it down or not. SIGNIFICANCE OF MARKWhy is the Gospel of Mark important, in early Christianity? Mark's is the first of the written gospels. It's really the one that establishes... the life of Jesus as a story form."

He was 40. Balelo was one of the deep-pocketed buyers featured on the show that depicts storage-unit auctions. The former owner of a chain of thrift stores, Balelo had a knack for bargaining and finding treasure among trash. Nicknamed “Rico Suave” for his flamboyant style, Balelo once hosted a live auction right before Halloween while dressed as Superman. He carried a “man purse” (or “murse”), which he considered his good-luck bag; the murses became so popular with fans that he later sold them on e Bay. Balelo also was instrumental in helping Nicolas Cage recover a mint-condition copy of a 1938 Action Comics book that was stolen from the actor’s storage locker. The comic book was valued at $1 million. Balelo owned Balelo Inc., a business that specializes in asset liquidations and closeout sales.

"text": "Reality Television Show Personality Who Died Recently July 18, 2014 0 Comments Reality television is a genre of television programming based on true to life story or unscripted documents performed by unknown cast, which the genre often focused on personal drama and conflict to a much greater extent than other unscripted television such as documentary shows. The genre has various standard tropes, such as reality TV confessionals used by cast members or chosen competitors, to express their thoughts, which often double as the shows’ narration. In competition-based reality shows, a notable subset, there are other common elements such as one participant being eliminated per episode, a panel of judges, and the concept of immunity from elimination. The genre began in the reality television show with The Real World in the mid of 1990s. In the late 1990s to early 2000, reality television exploded as a phenomenon with the global success of the series Survivor and Big Brother. However, there are television shows, such as Documentaries, television news, sports television, talk shows and game shows, that are not classified as reality television, though they contain elements of reality television, such as unscripted situations and sometimes unknown participants. Other genres that predate the reality television boom have sometimes been retroactively grouped into reality TV, including shows of hidden camera, Candid camera, talent-search shows such as the 1948’s The Original Amateur Hour, the 1964’s Up Series a documentary series about ordinary people, high-concept game shows in 1965 such as The Dating Game, in 1979s This Old House a reality show of home improvement shows and in 1981’s The People’s Court a court shows that features real-life cases. Since reality television rise in popularity, it has faced significant criticism .

More drama appears to be unfolding for the popular A&E series. Mark Balelo was allegedly on track to get more air time once Hester was locked out of production, but that was before it became public knowledge that the minor cast member spent time in jail on a felony charge. A publicist for the show denies that Storage Wars is rigged and maintains that items found in the storage lockers are not staged. Mark Balelo was first introduced to the viewing audience in Season 2. He has one been featured a handful of times since then, Reality Tea reports. According to a Radar Online source, the powers-that-be at A&E are thinking about using the man who visibly ruffled the feathers of other storage locker hunters, to replace Dave Hester. Just when it looked like Balelo was poised to become a reality show star, reports surfaced that he was arrested for three felonies in 2007. The charges allegedly included possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell and the sale or transport of a controlled substance. Two of the charges were ultimately dismissed but Mark Balelo pled guilty to the sale or transport of a controlled substance in 2009."

Reasons for making a will It is important for you to make a will because if you do not, and die without a will, the law on intestacy decides what happens to your property. A will can ensure that proper arrangements are made for your dependants and that your property is distributed in the way you wish after you die, subject to certain rights of spouses/civil partners and children. It is also advisable to complete and keep updated a list of your assets. You can use a form such as our form, Where my possessions are kept. It will make it easier to identify and trace your assets after you die. You should keep the list in a safe place. What happens if you die having made a will If you have made a will, you are called a testator (male) or testatrix (female). A person who dies having made a valid will is said to have died 'testate'. If you die testate, then all your possessions will be distributed in the way you set out in your will."

During the Protestant Reformation Martin Luther disagreed not only with the selling of indulgences, but also with some of the fundamental tenets of the official Church doctrine of the 16th century. Here is a very basic summary of the issues that divided the Catholics and Lutherans of that time. Martin Luther Pope Leo XAuthority: Who decides what Christians believe and and how they worship? Church: The Pope, along with his Church councils, declares doctrine and practice and his pronouncements cannot be questioned. Doctrine of infallibility. Luther: The Bible is the ultimate authority for doctrine. Well-meaning Christians can read the Scriptures and use their reason to interpret the meaning. Priesthood Church: The priesthood is a sacrament granted by the Church. Priests have special powers not granted to lay-people; only a priest can administer the sacraments and officiate at the mass."

An author of commentaries on Scripture (sacred writings), theology (the study of religion), and priestly abuses, a hymnologist (writer of hymns [sacred songs]), and a preacher, from his own time to the present he has been a symbol of Protestantism (group of Christian faiths that do not believe in the supremacy of the pope, but in the absolute authority of the Bible). Family and education Martin Luther was born at Eisleben in Saxony, Germany, on November 10, 1483, the son of Hans and Margaret Luther. Luther's parents were peasants, but his father had worked hard to raise the family's status, first as a miner and later as the owner of several small mines, to become a small-scale businessman. In 1490 Martin was sent to the Latin school at Mansfeld, in 1497 to Magdeburg, and in 1498 to Eisenach. His early education was typical of late-fifteenth-century practice. To a young man in Martin's situation, the law and the church offered the only chance for a successful career. He chose to become a lawyer to increase the Luther family's success, which Hans had begun. Martin was enrolled at the University of Erfurt in 1501. He received a bachelor of arts degree in 1502 and a master of arts in 1505."

[ 1] The term originated in the context of a minority Protestant view that since Faith in Christianity|faith itself alone is sufficient to attain salvation, adherence to religious law is not necessary, [2] and religious laws themselves are set aside or Abrogation of Old Covenant laws|\"\"abrogated\"\" as inessential. While the concept is related to the foundational Protestant belief of Sola Fide where Justification (theology)|justification is through faith alone in Christ, it is taken to an extreme. It is seen by some as the opposite of the notion that obedience to a code of religious law earns salvation: legalism (theology)|legalism or New Perspective on Paul#Works of the Law|works righteousness. An antinomian theology does not necessarily imply the embrace of Permissive society|ethical permissiveness; rather it usually implies emphasis on the inner working of the Holy Spirit as the Christian ethics|primary source of ethical guidance. [ 3]While there is wide agreement within Christianity that \"\"antinomianism\"\" is heresy, what constitutes antinomianism is often in disagreement. The term \"\"antinomian\"\" emerged soon after the Protestant Reformation (c.1517) and has historically been used mainly as a pejorative against Christian thinkers or sects who carried their belief in justification by faith further than was customary. [ 3] For example, Martin Luther preached justification by faith alone, but was also an outspoken critic of antinomianism, perhaps most notably in his Against the Antinomians (1539). Few groups or sects, outside of Christian anarchism or Jewish anarchism, explicitly call themselves \"\"antinomian\"\". While the term originated in early controversies of Protestant doctrine, and has its roots in debates over the Synoptic Gospels and the Pauline Epistles and the issue of Paul of Tarsus and Judaism and the Biblical Greek terms anomia and anomos which are generally translated lawlessness and lawless respectively, it can be extended to any religious group believing they are not bound to obey the laws of their own religious tradition.

Catholics and Protestants disagree By Tom Heneghan September 24, 2011 (Martin Luther by Lucas Cranach the Elder, painted in 1529)Among Catholic-Protestant splits on display during Pope Benedict’s visit to Germany is a disagreement over whether Martin Luther, the 16th century reformer who launched the split in western Christianity, has now been rehabilitated. Pope Leo X cast Luther out of the Roman Catholic Church in 1521 with a vociferous decree branding him “the slave of a depraved mind” and calling his followers a “pernicious and heretical sect.” But his present-day successor, Benedict, spoke so positively of Luther’s deep faith during a visit to the monk’s old monastery in Erfurt on Friday that Germany’s top Protestant bishop announced Luther had effectively been rehabilitated. “Luther has experienced a de facto rehabilitation today through this appreciation of his work,” Bishop Nikolaus Schneider, head of the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD), announced to journalists on Friday after talks with Benedict. “ We heard this very clearly from the mouth of the pope,” he said. “ What follows now formally is another question … but that’s not so important for me. ”Vatican spokesman Rev Federico Lombardi begged to differ on Saturday. “ To say that would be exaggerated,” he told journalists in Freiburg, the last stop on the pope’s four-day tour of his homeland. “ What this is about is having deep faith and I think it emphasises the commonalities we have in our love of faith."

"text": "By nailing his theses to the church door, Luther was not acting as a heretic. He was simply inviting other scholars to respond to his ideas in a debate, an ordinary method of learning at universities of his days. At first, no one accepted Luther’s invitation. Over the next few years, however, his Ninety-Five Theses sparked a religious movement to reform the Catholic Church. Because the reformers were protesting against what they felt to be the abuses of the Catholic Church, they came to be known as Protestants. And because they wanted to reform the Catholic Church, that is, improve it by making changes, their movement is known as the Reformers. Luther’s Ninety-Five Theses were soon translated from Latin into German. Within a year, his ideas were known throughout Europe. As one historian put it, they spread “…as if angels from heaven themselves had been their messengers.” Encouraged by his success, Luther wrote hundreds of essays between 1517 and 1546, in which he stresses justification by faith and criticized church abuses."

At the most basic level, a “Christian” is anyone who professes that Jesus of Nazareth is the “Christ” (the \"\"Messiah,\"\" the \"\"anointed one\"\" of God). This sounds simple! Yet what does it mean? And what else do Christians believe about Jesus (and about God)?“Christ” is a title derived from the Greek word Christos (lit. “ anointed one”), which in turn comes from the verb chrio (“to anoint; to smear or pour oil over someone”). It has exactly the same meaning as “Messiah,” which is derived from the Hebrew Mashiah (also “anointed one”; see Christological Titles ). According to Acts 11:26, the first time those who believed in Jesus were called “Christians” was in Antioch, a Greek-speaking city of ancient Syria (about 300 miles north of Jerusalem), about the year 35 or 40 CE. Before that time, in the Aramaic-speaking environment of Judea, the followers of Jesus may have been called Nazarenes, or Messianists, or Followers of the Way, or by some other designation (see Jewish Groups of the Second Temple Period )."

Europeans came to America to escape religious oppression and forced beliefs by such state-affiliated Christian churches as the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of England. That civil unrest fueled the desire of America’s forefathers to establish the organization of a country in which the separation of church and state, and the freedom to practice one’s faith without fear of persecution, was guaranteed. That guarantee was enshrined in the First Amendment to the Constitution (text) as, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...\"\"The splintering of Christianity resulted in more than 900 denominations of that faith currently existing in the United States, of which the vast majority of Americans are members. The U. S. was the first western nation to be founded predominately by Protestants — not Roman Catholics. That fact alone expresses America’s willingness to experiment with the novel and a defiance of tradition. Its history includes the emergence of utopian experiments, religious fanaticism, and opening the door to such exotic religions as Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, and Taoism. Such has been the winding road of religious evolution in America. The role of religion among American Indians For untold generations before Europeans came to America, native peoples celebrated the bounty given to them by the Great Spirit. Across America, such Indian tribes as the Algonquians, the Iroquois, Sioux, and the Seminoles worshiped the Great Spirit, who could be found in animals as well as inanimate objects."

It was invented in the mid-15th century (during the Renaissance period) by a German goldsmith named Johannes Gutenberg. As it enabled the fast flow of information and encouraged the spread of new ideas, it was also a huge driving force behind the spread of Protestantism across Europe. Only half a century after the first Christian Bible was published in 1452, the printing press acted as a catalyst for the decline of the Catholic Church in north-western Europe. Before the printing press During ancient times, and for most of the Middle Ages, books were hand-written by scribes or monks and many people did not learn how to read. Most books were written in Latin, a language which only the most educated people could understand. This was before the printing press revolutionised the world of literature. A ground-breaking invention Johannes Gutenberg was the German goldsmith who invented the printing press in the mid-15th century. As he was not famous during his lifetime, Gutenberg's exact date of birth is not known; it is thought to be around 1400. It is also believed that he first commenced work on his printing press in the late 1430s and had finished it by 1440."

"text": "\"Martin Luther by Lucas Cranach the Elder. Public Domain. Follow By Mary Rezac Washington D. C., Oct 30, 2017 / 04:36 pm ( CNA/EWTN News) .- One fated Halloween, 500 years ago, Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of Wittenberg Castle in a dramatic act of defiance against the Catholic Church. Or, he may have just hung it on the doorknob. Or mailed out copies. Or, if he did nail it, the act of the nailing itself would not have been all that significant, because the door may have been used as a bulletin board where everyone was nailing announcements. And he probably wasn’t all that defiant; he likely had the attitude of a scholar trying to raise questions and concerns. At that point, Luther didn’t know how defiant he would eventually become, or that his act, and his subsequent theological work, would lead to one of the greatest disruptions of unity in the Church’s history. “This was not a declaration of war against the Catholic Church, nor was it a break,” Dr. Alan Schreck with Franciscan University of Steubenville told CNA.“It was a concerned, Augustinian monk and biblical scholar correcting an abuse, and it was really a call for a dialogue. ”However, it took fewer than five years for this call for dialogue to transform into schism, rejection of the authority of the Church’s tradition and bishops and most of the sacraments, and a growing number of Protestant communities, united only by their rejection of the Catholic Church."

"text": "\"Martin Luther King, Jr: Fighting for Equal Rights in America Martin Luther King, Jr: Fighting for Equal Rights in America (Bilingual)Martin Luther King, Jr: Fighting for Equal Rights in America Vision and Motivation Although slavery in the United States ended in the late 19th century, institutionalized racism continued to oppress African Americans even decades later. By the mid-20th century, blacks were still forced to use separate public utilities and schools from the superior ones reserved for whites; they suffered routine discrimination in employment and housing, as well as abuse and lynching from some whites, and they were unable to fully exercise their right to vote. For decades, civil rights activists had been fighting these laws and social customs to secure equality for all Americans. These activists had won some significant victories; among the most notable was the 1954 Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education, which held that state laws requiring black students and white students to attend different schools were unconstitutional. [ 1] However, these victories could not dismantle the systemic racism that plagued the country. It was in this environment, seeing the possibility of an America where black and white citizens were truly equal, that Martin Luther King, Jr. joined in the fight for civil rights for black Americans. Goals & Objectives A Baptist minister by training, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. sought to raise the public consciousness of racism, to end racial discrimination and segregation in the United States. While his goal was racial equality, King plotted out a series of smaller objectives that involved local grassroots campaigns for equal rights for African Americans. In 1955, King became involved in his first major civil rights campaign in Montgomery, Alabama, where buses were racially segregated. It was there that Rosa Parks, an African American woman, refused to vacate her seat in the middle of the bus so that a white man could sit in her place."

"text": "The Role of the Black Church in the Civil Rights Movement Justice, Peace & Reconciliation The Example of Martin Luther King Curtiss Paul De Young January 2011 Guadeloupe Martin Luther King would often say, “I am many things to many people. But in the quiet recesses of my heart, I am fundamentally a clergyman, a Baptist preacher. This is my being and my heritage, for I am also the son of a Baptist preacher, the grandson of a Baptist preacher and the great-grandson of a Baptist preacher.” Central to Dr. King’s identity as a leader in the Civil Rights Movement was his religious faith and status as a preacher in the black Baptist church. At the core of King’s perspective on the Civil Rights Movement was that the Movement was most successful when it operated as a church-based effort. I have been asked to speak on the role of the Black church in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s in the United States. In addition to my research on this and related subjects, I also bring an experiential side to my understanding of this topic. I have personally known some of Martin Luther King’s friends and staff members who were black preachers. I did my graduate work in theology at Howard University School of Divinity, which is a school of theology whose primary constituency is the black church. I also served as a pastor in African American congregations in the Harlem community of New York City and in Washington, DC."

"text": "General Interest1964King wins Nobel Peace Prize Share this:facebook twitter google+Print Cite African American civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his nonviolent resistance to racial prejudice in America. At 35 years of age, the Georgia-born minister was the youngest person ever to receive the award. Martin Luther King, Jr., was born in Atlanta in 1929, the son of a Baptist minister. He received a doctorate degree in theology and in 1955 organized the first major protest of the civil rights movement: the successful Montgomery Bus Boycott. Influenced by Mohandas Gandhi, he advocated nonviolent civil disobedience to racial segregation. The peaceful protests he led throughout the American South were often met with violence, but King and his followers persisted, and their nonviolent movement gained momentum. A powerful orator, he appealed to Christian and American ideals and won growing support from the federal government and northern whites. In 1963, he led his massive March on Washington, in which he delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” address. In 1964, the civil rights movement achieved two of its greatest successes: the ratification of the 24th Amendment, which abolished the poll tax, and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibited racial discrimination in employment and education and outlawed racial segregation in public facilities. In October of that year, King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize."

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

King worked hard to make people understand that not only blacks but that all races should always be treated equally to white people. He gave speeches to encourage African Americans to protest without using violence.

"text": "During the less than 13 years of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s leadership of the modern American Civil Rights Movement, from December, 1955 until April 4, 1968, African Americans achieved more genuine progress toward racial equality in America than the previous 350 years had produced. Dr. King is widely regarded as America’s pre-eminent advocate of nonviolence and one of the greatest nonviolent leaders in world history. Drawing inspiration from both his Christian faith and the peaceful teachings of Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. King led a nonviolent movement in the late 1950’s and ‘60s to achieve legal equality for African-Americans in the United States. While others were advocating for freedom by “any means necessary,” including violence, Martin Luther King, Jr. used the power of words and acts of nonviolent resistance, such as protests, grassroots organizing, and civil disobedience to achieve seemingly-impossible goals. He went on to lead similar campaigns against poverty and international conflict, always maintaining fidelity to his principles that men and women everywhere, regardless of color or creed, are equal members of the human family. Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, Nobel Peace Prize lecture and “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” are among the most revered orations and writings in the English language. His accomplishments are now taught to American children of all races, and his teachings are studied by scholars and students worldwide. He is the only non-president to have a national holiday dedicated in his honor, and is the only non-president memorialized on the Great Mall in the nation’s capitol. He is memorialized in hundreds of statues, parks, streets, squares, churches and other public facilities around the world as a leader whose teachings are increasingly-relevant to the progress of humankind. Some of Dr. King’s most important achievements include: In 1955, he was recruited to serve as spokesman for the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which was a campaign by the African-American population of Montgomery, Alabama to force integration of the city’s bus lines."

Flag Why did Alfred Nobel start the Nobel Prizes? Answer by On the Wallaby Confidence votes 291KPassionate about all things Australian Eight years prior to his death, on 13 April 1888, Alfred Nobel read an obituary to himself. Although it was his brother Ludwig who had actually died, the obituary described Alfred Nobel's own achievements, believing it was he who had died. The obituary condemned Nobel for inventing dynamite, an explosive which caused the deaths of so many. It is said that this experience led Nobel to choose to leave a better legacy to the world after his death. Nobel regretted that his invention was used for such destructive purposes and methods (and made people have such a negative impression of him), that he willed that after his death, he would leave a much better legacy than during his life. So, he set up an award system, now called the Nobel Prize, so that when people do things that are extraordinarily beneficial to humans or who perform great actions to serve the human race and the world, that the most outstanding person would be awarded the prize. The prizes are given to \"\"those who, during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit to mankind.\"\" The prize is awarded every December 10th, in Stockholm, commemorating when Nobel died (to the date) and where he was born."

Born in Atlanta on January 15, 1929, King's roots were in the African-American Baptist church. He was the grandson of the Rev. A. D. Williams, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist church and a founder of Atlanta's NAACP chapter, and the son of Martin Luther King, Sr., who succeeded Williams as Ebenezer's pastor and also became a civil rights leader. Although, from an early age, King resented religious emotionalism and questioned literal interpretations of scripture, he nevertheless greatly admired black social gospel proponents such as his father who saw the church as a instrument for improving the lives of African Americans. Morehouse College president Benjamin Mays and other proponents of Christian social activism influenced King's decision after his junior year at Morehouse to become a minister and thereby serve society. His continued skepticism, however, shaped his subsequent theological studies at Crozer Theological Seminary in Chester, Pennsylvania, and at Boston University, where he received a doctorate in systematic theology in 1955. Rejecting offers for academic positions, King decided while completing his Ph. D. requirements to return to the South and accepted the pastorate of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama."

"text": "\"An image of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. is displayed on a vintage television at the King Center in Atlanta. The nonprofit center may lose its right to use King's intellectual and physical property. ( David Goldman / Associated Press)Long lines of elementary school children bounded last week along Auburn Avenue — where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was born and where he served as pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church — to honor what would have been the slain civil rights leader's 86th birthday. At the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, they huddled around King's marble tomb as his sermons played over a loudspeaker. They peered into cabinets bearing artifacts celebrating his life and legacy, including boots he wore on marches and the monogrammed briefcase he carried on his last trip to Memphis. All of these items — the tomb, the sermons, the memorabilia — are the subject of a contentious legal battle that has put King's children once again at odds and placed the future of the King Center, which Coretta Scott King set up in her basement in 1968, in question. On Tuesday, a day after the King federal holiday, attorneys for Dexter Scott King, the chief executive of the for-profit Estate of Martin Luther King Jr. Inc., will seek to terminate the center's use of King's intellectual and physical property. His sister, Bernice Albertine King, is the head of the nonprofit center. If a judge rules in the estate's favor, the center would have to strip \"\"Martin Luther King Jr.\"\" from its title. It would no longer have the right to exhibit King's sermons or speeches, or the crypt that contains his remains."

Now, as Obama stumbles his way through a proposed military strike on the Syrian government, it seems the president has not paid nearly enough attention to the history of world leaders who have won this international honor. The list of Peace Prize winners impresses: Henry Dunant, the founder of the International Red Cross; American social reformer Jane Addams; George Marshall, the architect of peaceful post-World War Two Europe; Martin Luther King Jr.; Burmese freedom fighter Aung San Suu Kyi, and Nelson Mandela. Theodore Roosevelt was the first U. S. president to win a Nobel Peace Prize. The 26th president earned it the old fashioned way — with effort. Roosevelt’s journey to winning the 1906 prize began with his decision to put some teeth into the Court of Arbitration at The Hague, so that it would begin to serve its purpose of peacefully settling international disputes."

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The 35-year-old civil rights leader is the youngest winner of the prize that Dr. Alfred Nobel instituted since the first was awarded in 1901. The prize honors acts \"\"for the furtherance of brotherhood among men and to the abolishment or reduction of standing armies and for the extension of these purposes. \"\" The Norwegian state radio changed its program schedule tonight to broadcast a 30-minute program in honor of Dr. King. In a broadcast from Atlanta, Ga., Dr. King said that he was deeply moved by the honor. Dr. King said that \"\"every penny\"\" of the prize money, which amounts to about $54,000, would be given to the civil rights movement. \"\" I am glad people of other nations are concerned with our problems here,\"\" he said. He added that he regarded the prize as a sign that world public opinion was on the side of those struggling for freedom and dignity. He also said he saw no political implications in the award. \"\" I am a minister of the gospel, not a political leader,\"\" he said. The United States Ambassador in Oslo, Miss Margaret Joy Tibbetts, said tonight: \"\"As an American and representative of the American people, I want to express joy and gratitude that one of my fellow countrymen has been awarded this prize.\"\""

"text": "\"Martin Luther King, Jr: Fighting for Equal Rights in America Vision and Motivation Although slavery in the United States ended in the late 19th century, institutionalized racism continued to oppress African Americans even decades later. By the mid-20th century, blacks were still forced to use separate public utilities and schools from the superior ones reserved for whites; they suffered routine discrimination in employment and housing, as well as abuse and lynching from some whites, and they were unable to fully exercise their right to vote. For decades, civil rights activists had been fighting these laws and social customs to secure equality for all Americans. These activists had won some significant victories; among the most notable was the 1954 Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education, which held that state laws requiring black students and white students to attend different schools were unconstitutional. [ 1] However, these victories could not dismantle the systemic racism that plagued the country. It was in this environment, seeing the possibility of an America where black and white citizens were truly equal, that Martin Luther King, Jr. joined in the fight for civil rights for black Americans. Goals and Objectives A Baptist minister by training, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. sought to raise the public consciousness of racism, to end racial discrimination and segregation in the United States. While his goal was racial equality, King plotted out a series of smaller objectives that involved local grassroots campaigns for equal rights for African Americans. In 1955, King became involved in his first major civil rights campaign in Montgomery, Alabama, where buses were racially segregated. It was there that Rosa Parks, an African American woman, refused to vacate her seat in the middle of the bus so that a white man could sit in her place."

"text": "\"News Marvin Gaye's father and killer is dead Mark Rowe Saturday 24 October 1998 23:02 BSTClick to follow The Independent Online THE FATHER of Marvin Gaye has died, 14 years after he shot dead the legendary soul star during an argument. Marvin Gay (as his name was spelled) died in hospital last Sunday after developing pneumonia at his retirement home in Long Beach, California. Marvin snr, who was 84, shot dead his son at their Los Angeles home in April 1984, the day before Marvin Gaye's 45th birthday. According to Steve Turner, Gaye's biographer, the Motown star had a long- running feud with his father, a former Pentecostal preacher, who opposed his interest in music. \"\" Marvin's relationship with his father made him who he was. His need to be successful, find love and then take drugs were all down to it. No matter what he achieved with his songs, all he got was resentment and criticism,\"\" Mr Turner said. Gaye added the \"\"e\"\" to his surname after \"\"Gay\"\" prompted jibes about his sexuality, a sensitive subject given his father's proclivity for cross-dressing. The book details the singer's birth in Washington and his pivotal role in the Motown record label of the 1960s and 1970s. It also covers the bizarre sojourn in Belgium in the early 1980s when Gaye chose to lay his hat in the port of Ostend, ridding himself of drugs and writing the hit \"\"Sexual Healing\"\"."

Marvin Gaye's daughter Nona Gaye wept as the verdict was being read and was hugged by her attorney, Richard Busch. The verdict could tarnish the legacy of Williams, a reliable hit-maker who has won Grammy Awards and appears on NBC's music competition show The Voice. It was previously revealed that the song had made a staggering $16million for Pharrell, Thicke, rapper T. I. and the record company, though T. I. and various record and music companies had previously been cleared of copyright infringement charges. The jury decided that the family should receive $4million in damages and $3.4 million in profits from the song, with Thicke forced to pay $1.7million from his own pocket and Pharrell $1.6million.

"text": "\"BLACK VOICES 02/26/2014 01:26 pm ET Updated Jan 06, 2017These 22 Lost Classics Of Motown Deserve To Be Rediscovered By Ashley Woods When it comes to songs about first love, true love and heartbreak, we go back, again and again, to a record label that took its heart and soul from Detroit: Motown. The home of Stevie Wonder, the Temptations, Diana Ross & the Supremes, Marvin Gaye and the young Michael Jackson. The music itself is pop rooted in the traditions of gospel, accompanied by pounding drums, layers of strings and brassy call-and-response bits. But it’s easier just to say “Motown.” It’s music that actually sounds like love, and you don’t need to speak English or have grown up in the 1960s for that message to translate. Here’s the secret all Motown junkies know: The label began by Berry Gordy in a little house on Detroit’s Grand Boulevard had more hit songs, and more talent, than those four walls could ever hold. And for every hit single crafted by Smokey Robinson or the crack songwriting team Holland-Dozier-Holland, there were equally great songs that flopped, and equally talented singers who were unfairly denied marketing or access to tracks. There were lawsuits, feuds and falling outs. Even further in the background were session musicians like the Funk Brothers and background singers like the Andantes who gave their all on dozens of records before fading into obscurity. Below, you can find a collection of little known singles, unreleased tracks and deep cuts from Hitsville USA’s heyday, about 1963 through 1971."

Recording sessions for the album took place throughout 1975 and 1976 at Motown Recording Studios, also known as Hitsville West, and Gaye's personal studio Marvin's Room in Los Angeles, California. The album has often been noted by critics for producer Leon Ware 's exotic, low-key production and the erotic, sexual themes in his and Gaye's songwriting. The album's cover artwork adapts neo-mannerist artist Ernie Barnes 's famous painting The Sugar Shack (1971). I Want You consisted of Gaye's first recorded studio material since his highly successful and well-received album Let's Get It On (1973). While it marked a change in musical direction for Gaye, departing from his trademark Motown and doo-wop -influenced sound for funky, light- disco soul, the album maintained and expanded on his previous work's sexual themes. Following a mixed response from critics at the time of its release, I Want You has earned retrospective recognition from writers and music critics as one of Gaye's most controversial works and influential to such musical styles as disco, quiet storm, R&B, and neo soul.

However, similar to the conception and recording of Let's Get It On, Gaye had struggled to come up with an album as an appropriate follow-up. And much like Let's Get It On Gaye reached for outside help, this time seeking the assistance of Leon Ware, a singer and songwriter who had found previous success writing hits for fellow Motown alum, including pop singer Michael Jackson and the rhythm and blues group The Miracles.

( Gina Ferazzi / Los Angeles Times)Victoria Kim Contact Reporter Jurors decide against Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams in copyright trial over 'Blurred Lines'A federal jury found Tuesday that the 2013 hit song \"\"Blurred Lines\"\" infringed on the Marvin Gaye chart-topper \"\"Got to Give It Up,\"\" awarding nearly $7.4 million to Gaye's children. Jurors found against singer-songwriters Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke, but held harmless the record company and rapper T. I. The verdict capped a trial that lasted more than a week and focused on the similarities between the song and the legendary soul singer's 1977 hit. The jurors began deliberating Thursday afternoon. The Gayes contended that they instantly recognized striking similarities between the two songs when they first heard “Blurred Lines.” They called to the stand a musicologist who analyzed the songs and concluded there was a \"\"constellation\"\" of eight similar elements. Others outside court had also noticed similarities, including reviewers, fans and one person who overlaid the two songs for a mix uploaded to You Tube. After an eight-day trial, a verdict was reached that Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke's \"\"Blurred Lines\"\" copied Marvin Gaye's \"\"Got to Give It Up.\"\" How did we get here and what happens next?

From the time Music was defined and took a recognizable shape to when it was adopted as a popular art, there have been revolutionaries constantly influencing its identity and leaving their mark while they did so. This list talks about 10 such personalities who may no longer be among us but have left an unending legacy of great music through which they live on. When we say these musicians died too young, it simply means that they died too soon. If they could change music in the ways that they did in such a limited time period, one may wonder what it would have been like if they had been among us for a little longer.10. Marvin Gaye (1939-1984)Cause of death- Killed by his own father An American singer and songwriter, Marvin Gaye has been rewarded by several institutions after his death including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Gaye released a number of mega hits in his career including Grammy-award winning hit ‘sexual healing’ and the ‘ Midnight Love’ album. His later recordings even influenced several sub-genres such as quiet storm and neo-soul. His death really did shake the world and not only because it took away one of its most talented musicians but also because of how he was taken. Gaye and his parents had had heated arguments over some lost documents for sometime but who could’ve thought that it would lead to Gaye’s father shooting him with a gun that Gaye himself had presented to his father on last Christmas."

"text": "Tweet What’s the true financial value of a number one smash hit to the artists that create it? Well thanks to court proceedings lodged by the children of Marvin Gaye against Robin Thicke, Pharrell Williams and T. I, we may have just found out the answer to that question. A lawsuit lodged by Gaye’s children Nona and Frankie, alleges that the trio’s 2013 smash hit ‘Blurred Lines’ has liberally borrowed from Marvin Gaye’s 1977 hit ‘Got To Give It Up’ to the point that it amounts to significant copyright infringement. The track, which was the biggest hit of 2013, has been at the center of a court battle between Gaye’s children and the artists since last year. As part of the proceedings, the artists were required to disclose the financial details of the song. So how much did each of the artists receive? According to Hollywood Reporter the track earned a staggering $16,675,690 profit. As the primary artists on the track, Thicke and Williams took the lions share of the profits pocketing a cool $5,658,214 and $5,153457 respectively. T. I received $704,774 for his efforts – not bad for a days work providing a guest verse for the song. The rest of the profits were split between Star Trak, Interscope and UMG Distribution, the labels responsible for production and distribution of the hit."

"text": "Lyrics Released February 9, 2015Length 3:10Producers Charlie Puth Label From N/A' Marvin Gaye' is a song written, produced and sung by Charlie Puth, featuring Meghan Trainor. The song is not featured any album yet. Background Edit Charlie Puth said“The song came to me out of nowhere. I hadn’t been listening to anything, and went out to eat- sat down at a table and literally started humming the baseline to what is now ‘Marvin Gaye,” said Puth. “ I had the track in my mind, and when I went to record it, I just blurted out the chorus ‘Let’s Marvin Gaye and get it on.’ When I wrote the chorus with Julie Frost- it just felt so special When Meghan came in she already had the harmonies in her head. When she laid down the second verse, I got chills everywhere and knew it was going to be 10 times more special. She added so much value. ”The track takes an innocent approach to talking about sex, with accompaniment that is straight out of your grandma’s favorite sock hop memories.

Gordy Gaye played a key role in Marvin Gaye's life, both personally and professionally. The pair met during a performance at Berry Gordy's house in 1960 and married three years later. Early in his career, Gaye worked as a drummer for Anna Records, a record label founded by Anna and her sister Gwen with songwriter Roquel \"\"Billy\"\" Davis. His early singles \"\"Pride and Joy\"\" and \"\"Stubborn Kind of Fellow\"\" were dedicated to Anna. The Spirit, the Flesh and Marvin Gaye Gordy Gaye herself cowrote three of Marvin's songs: “God Is Love” and “Flyin' High (In the Friendly Sky)” from 1971's landmark album What's Going On and “Just to Keep You Satisfied” from 1973's Let's Get It On. Gordy Gaye's marriage to Marvin was one of the most turbulent in music, marked by frequent fighting and infidelity. ( Gaye fell in love with 17-year-old Janis Hunter during the recording of Let's Get It On ). When Anna filed for divorce in 1975, the proceedings lasted more than two years before the marriage was officially dissolved. \"\" The marriage was troubled from the start,\"\" Marvin told biographer David Ritz. \"\""

EW : What was it like to get a phone call from Ellen? CHARLIE PUTH: I was a sophomore at Berklee College of Music, and I thought it was a joke. Then they called again and were like, “No, it’s really the Ellen show! We’d love for you to come out and sing [his cover of Adele’s “Someone Like You”].” So I did and was signed to her label. I got to be in front of 15 million people, and it’s ultimately how Atlantic Records found me—because someone just happened to be watching the show that day. It’s pretty cool. Pretty cool you got to go back just a few years later to perform “See You Again. ”I’ve never been so not-nervous to perform on the show."

"text": "Share this pagefacebook twitter google+R&B » Soul Soul music was the result of the urbanization and commercialization of rhythm and blues in the '60s. Soul came to describe a number of R&B-based music styles. From the bouncy, catchy acts at Motown to the horn-driven, gritty soul of Stax/Volt, there was an immense amount of diversity within soul. During the first part of the '60s, soul music remained close to its R&B roots. However, musicians pushed the music in different directions; usually, different regions of America produced different kinds of soul. In urban centers like New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago, the music concentrated on vocal interplay and smooth productions. In Detroit, Motown concentrated on creating a pop-oriented sound that was informed equally by gospel, R&B, and rock & roll. In the South, the music became harder and tougher, relying on syncopated rhythms, raw vocals, and blaring horns. All of these styles formed soul, which ruled the black music charts throughout the '60s and also frequently crossed over into the pop charts. At the end of the '60s, soul began to splinter apart, as artists like James Brown and Sly Stone developed funk, and other artists developed slicker forms of soul."

"text": "10 Best Songs The 10 Best Marvin Gaye Songs Robert Ham | March 24, 2015 - 11:25 am Email Share Tweet Pin It Reddit It can be hard to not engage in a mental game of “What if?” when it comes to artists who died well before their time. Would Kurt Cobain have released more albums as zeitgeist-defining and powerful as Nevermind or In Utero? Would Biggie Smalls have achieved the same elder statesman status as Jay Z or RZA? Would Marvin Gaye have maintained his status as one of the preeminent voices in soul music even amid the rising tide of hip-hop and harder edged R&B? While the other two artists mentioned above make it harder to make any absolute claims about their imagined futures, I think it’s a little easier to imagine that Gaye would have found a way to thrive even while his peers were pushed into commercial redundancy or started making music that felt beneath their abilities. It feels easy to predict that fate because there’s precedent. Gaye is one of the few Motown artists who came up through the ranks of that label’s star-making system and continued to evolve with the times up until his untimely death one day shy of his 45th birthday. After some dabblings in doo-wop early on, Gaye positioned himself as a crooner of pop standards like “My Funny Valentine” and “How High The Moon,” before quickly embracing the new sound of R&B and soul. When the mood turned psychedelic, so did Gaye, putting his own spin on Dion and Beatles tunes."

"text": "Motivations Mary Mc Leod Bethune was motivated by her experiences and hardships growing up, and by her religion, Christianity. Growing up in the South, one of a very large family during the reconstruction era, Mary experienced racism and unfairness based on the color of her skin. Her family was given no advantage in the southern white culture, and very little land to live on. Despite the hardships, the Mc Leod's made due and built themselves a cabin on a small plot of land where they grew cotton and corn. During this period in her life, Mary's parents encouraged her to be an active participant in school, and her work. Throughout her life, Mary brought these experiences and life lessons with her while she did her life's work, and used her memories to guide her. She had felt the pain of not getting the same equal opportunities as many others in her community because of the color of her skin, so she was able to raise her voice to fight against the racial divisions that she believed no one should ever have to endure and experience in their lifetimes. She also used her faith in God and her religious beliefs to guide her. She was also taught her to put her faith in God, and trust him. She always incorporated the teachings of Christianity in her work in education."

She was active in campaigns to stop lynching in the American South, and worked to end segregationist policies of the American Red Cross, the National Council of Women, the Methodist Episcopal Church, and the United States government. Not merely opposing the racially-discriminatory poll tax, she led a nationwide fundraising drive that paid the tax for thousands of black voters. She grew up working in the cotton fields, and as a young woman her goal was to become a Christian missionary to Africa. After attending the Bible Institute for Home and Foreign Missions (now Moody Bible Institute), she learned that the Presbyterian Mission Board would not consider sending an African-American woman to Africa. She instead worked for several years as a teacher at all-black schools in the South, supplementing her meager income by selling life insurance. In 1904, with no funding and five students, she opened the Daytona Normal and Industrial Institute for Negro Girls, in Daytona Beach, Florida. In the 1920s she secured the school's financial footing by affiliating it with the Methodist Episcopal Church, and in 1923 she oversaw the school's merger with Cookman Institute for Men, leading to its present identity as Bethune-Cookman University. She was nominally an advisor to Presidents Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover on child welfare matters, but as a friend of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt she was much more involved in the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt. She was appointed by Roosevelt as Director of the National Youth Administration's Division of Negro Affairs in 1936, making her the highest-ranking black woman in American government up to that time."

He believed that any task could be accomplished through sheer will. ( See \"\"The Foolish Old Man Who Removed the Mountains\"\" ). He also had great confidence in the power of the \"\"harnessed\"\" will of the people — especially the peasants. ( See \"\"Report on the Investigation of the Peasant Movement in Hunan\"\" ). The idea of selflessness. This is brought out quite clearly in the speeches \"\"In Memory of Norman Bethune,\"\" and \"\"Serve the People.\"\" The notion of sacrificing one's own interest to the interests of the greater good is universal, and greatly influenced Mao's thinking (see also Mao's statements on being a good communist ).

"text": "Kani Saburi Ayubu July 15, 2010 14 Comments Mary Mc Leod Bethune: Her 1949 Historic Awards Very few people realize that in 1949 Mary Mc Leod Bethune received two historic awards. Haitian Medal of Honor & Merit The first one was Haiti’s highest award, the Medal of Honor and Merit from President Dumarsais Estime. She was the first woman, regardless of race, to ever receive this prestigious award. Based on statements from the President of the Republic of Haiti in 1949, Mary Mc Leod Bethune received this award for being the “foremost woman of her race in the United States”. Mary Bethune received this medal during the Haiti Exposition of 1949. The Commander of the Order of the Star of Africa Also in 1949, Mary Mc Leod Bethune traveled as a representative of the U. S. Government to Liberia at the request of President Truman. While there during the inaugaration of Liberian President William Tubman, Mary Bethune was awarded Liberia’s highest medal, The Commander of the Order of the Star of Africa. This was a “dream come true” for Mary Mc Leod Bethune, who received this prestigious medal during her first trip to Africa after dreaming of serving as a missionary in Africa as a child. Sometimes it’s easy to forget the many accomplishment of this African American icon and legend so below we have included a list of her accomplishments for all to review.

She was a White American diplomat, First lady, writer, humanitarian and Civil Rights activist. Born in New York City, Anna Eleanor Roosevelt was the niece of Theodore Roosevelt, America’s 16th president. She was known as a shy child, and experienced tremendous loss at a young age: Her mother died in 1892 and her father died two years later, when she was just 10 years old. Roosevelt was sent to school in England when she was a teenager an experience that helped draw her out of her shell. In 1905, she married her distant cousin, Franklin D. Roosevelt, who would later become president of the United States. The couple had six children: Anna, James, Franklin (who died as an infant), Elliott, Franklin Jr. and John. Despite her busy home life, Eleanor became active in public service during World War I, working for the American Red Cross. After her husband suffered a polio attack in 1921, Eleanor Roosevelt stepped forward to help Franklin Roosevelt with his political career. When her husband became president in 1933, Eleanor dramatically changed the role of the first lady."

With classical training, years of work on the London stage, an acclaimed television series, and dozens of films to her name, Mirren has proven herself an actress of talent, versatility, and unforgettable presence. Born Ilynea Lydia Mironoff on July 26, 1945, in London, Mirren is a descendant of the White Russian nobility. Her father was a member of an aristocratic Russian military family who came to England during the Russian Revolution, but while Mirren was growing up, he worked in turn as a violinist with the London Philharmonic, a taxi driver, and a driving instructor. His daughter, on the other hand, knew her true calling by the age of six, when she realized she wanted to become an actress, in the \"\"old-fashioned and traditional sense.\"\" After trying to please her parents with a stint at a teacher's college, Mirren joined the National Youth Theatre, where she first made her mark playing Cleopatra. The acclaim for her performance led the way to other work, and she was soon a member of the vaunted Royal Shakespeare Company, with whom she performed a wide range of classics. Her stage career thriving, Mirren made her screen debut in 1968 in the somewhat forgettable Herostratus. The same year, she made a more auspicious appearance as Hermia in Peter Hall's lauded adaptation of A Midsummer Night's Dream, and her screen career soon took off. She worked steadily throughout the late '60s and '70s, starring in 1969's Age of Consent and working with such directors as Robert Altman on The Long Goodbye (1973) and Lindsay Anderson on O Lucky Man!

Seventy glassine baggies of heroin packed for individual sale — at least 50 of them unopened — were discovered in the $10,000-a-month rental where the Oscar-winning actor was found dead Sunday with a needle stuck in his left arm, sources said. Some of the envelopes had the words “Ace of Spades” written on them, and others were stamped with the name “Ace of Hearts.” Both are brands of heroin that are often cut with a powerful pain reliever called fentanyl, and have become a plague in Pennsylvania, where they were used in 22 overdose deaths. The body of Philip Seymour Hoffman, the Oscar-winning actor found dead Sunday, is removed from his Bethune St. home. ( James Keivom/New York Daily News)Police said they haven’t seen heroin with the Ace of Hearts stamp in New York City since 2012.

S. Mabel Hubbard was born into a rich, well-connected Massachusetts family. Her life and destiny were profoundly affected by deafness caused by scarlet fever at age five. It was the prevailing opinion in the United States that children who became deaf in their early years could not retain the ability to speak; signing was thus considered the best means of communication. To prevent Mabel from becoming mute, Gertrude Hubbard found tutors who could teach her to lip-read and reinforce her speech, so that much of the time her highly intelligent daughter was educated among hearing children. Mabel’s father, a distinguished lawyer, played a leading role in securing a charter for the Clarke Institution for Deaf-Mutes at Northampton, where children were instructed in speech; he served as its first president. Though Mabel did not attend the school, at nine she testified before a committee of the Massachusetts legislature to aid the cause. Its members plied her with questions in history, geography, and arithmetic, which she answered with assurance; her voice, though not perfect, was intelligible, according to biographer Lilias M. Toward. Many years later, Mabel, whose triumph over her handicap had led her to conduct her life among hearing people, wrote to her daughter Elsie May commending the school: “Having taught you all my life to forget that I was deaf, I now want you to remember it, at least to the extent of looking on the Clarke School as a sort of family affair whose welfare is a family concern. ”It was as a teacher of speech and the deaf that Alexander Graham Bell met Mabel Hubbard. One year out from Scotland, he had left Canada for Boston in 1871 to give a series of talks and he quickly became admired for his teaching techniques."

"text": "Introduction Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is known all over the world as the creator of one of the most famous fictional characters in English literature, the master detective Sherlock Holmes, but he was much more than the originator of modern detective literature. He was a man of many talents and pursuits: a medical doctor, multi-talented sportsman, prolific and excellent storyteller, keen patriot and a staunch imperialist, as well as a campaigner against miscarriages of justice. He tried his hand in many genres of fiction and poetry. He wrote detective stories, historical and social romances, political essays and an innumerable number of letters to the press, public figures, acquaintances and friends, to his adored mother and other family members. Last but not least, he was a formidable public speaker and a dedicated Spiritualist, who investigated and popularised supernatural phenomena. A Victorian to the bone, he cherished the ideals of duty, chivalry, honour and respectability. The origin of the surname Doyle had an ancient Irish surname, ranking twelfth in the list of the most common surnames in Ireland. It can be derived from the Gaelic Dub-Ghaill ('dark foreigner'), the name which the Celts gave to the Vikings, who began settling in Ireland more than 1,000 years ago, or from the Anglo-Norman surname of d'Oillys, who arrived in England with William the Conqueror and then settled in Ireland. There is a controversy about the full name of the author of the Sherlock Holmes stories. He always signed himself: A. Conan Doyle."

This lack of consensus is reflected in debates about the genre's history, particularly over determining its exact origins. There are two broad camps of thought, one that identifies the genre's roots in early fantastical works such as the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh (earliest Sumerian text versions c. 2150–2000 BCE). A second approach argues that science fiction only became possible sometime between the 17th and early 19th centuries, following the scientific revolution and major discoveries in astronomy, physics, and mathematics. Question of deeper origins aside, science fiction developed and boomed in the 20th century, as the deep integration of science and inventions into daily life encouraged a greater interest in literature that explores the relationship between technology, society, and the individual. Scholar Robert Scholes calls the history of science fiction \"\"the history of humanity's changing attitudes toward space and time ... the history of our growing understanding of the universe and the position of our species in that universe.\"\" [ 1] In recent decades, the genre has diversified and become firmly established as a major influence on global culture and thought.

"text": "How to Protect Your Hair and Scalp from UV Damage Alexandra Perron Editor Yahoo Beauty • July 23, 2015The best ways to protect your hair and scalp from sun damage. ( Photo: Trunk Archive)When it comes to protecting your skin from the sun, there are plenty of options out there — sprays, oils, lotions, powders, and even clothing with SPF. But what about protection for your hair and scalp? Sure, a hat seems like the most obvious way to cover up, but it isn’t always an option — especially if you’re out in the water. To get the scoop on this special protection during the summer, I went to Anabel Kingsley, hair and scalp expert at the Philip Kingsley. Here’s what you need to know: Just like your skin, your hair can burn. “ Summer’s strong UV rays act on your hair in a similar way to bleach; they oxidize and degrade the disulphide bonds that hold it together, reducing cystine content and causing brittleness, dryness, breakage and lack of manageability,” says Kingsley. “ Chlorine can be similarly drying, and as pool water often contains traces of copper, it may even turn blond hair green. Salt water is also bad news; being osmotic, it leaches water out of each strand, rapidly reducing moisture content and elasticity.” You might not always be able to feel the burn, but the sun’s rays will take a toll on your hair."

"text": "Alternative Title: Martin Marcantonio Luciano Scorsese Martin Scorsese, original name Martin Marcantonio Luciano Scorsese, (born November 17, 1942, Queens, New York, U. S.), American filmmaker known for his harsh, often violent depictions of American culture. From the 1970s Scorsese created a body of work that was ambitious, bold, and brilliant. But even his most acclaimed films are demanding, sometimes unpleasantly intense dramas that have enjoyed relatively little commercial success. Thus, Scorsese bears the not totally undeserved reputation as a cult director who works with big budgets and Hollywood ’s most desirable stars. In terms of artistry, he was perhaps the most significant American director of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Early life and work Scorsese was a frail asthmatic child who grew up in the Italian American neighbourhood of Little Italy on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. His early interest in film returned after he tried unsuccessfully to enter the Roman Catholic priesthood, and he went on to earn undergraduate (1964) and graduate (1966) degrees in film from New York University, where he subsequently taught. His student films showed a wide range of influences, from foreign classics to Hollywood musicals. Among them were shorts such as What’s a Nice Girl like You Doing in a Place like This? ( 1963) and It’s Not Just You, Murray! ("

"text": "Charles Kingsley, (born June 12, 1819, Holne Vicarage, Devon, England—died January 23, 1875, Eversley, Hampshire), Anglican clergyman and writer whose successful fiction ranged from social-problem novels to historical romances and children’s literature. The son of a clergyman, he grew up in Devon, where he developed an interest in nature study and geology. After graduating from Magdalene College, Cambridge, he was ordained in 1842 as curate of Eversley and two years later became parish priest there. Much influenced by the theologian Frederick Denison Maurice, he became in 1848 a founding member of the Christian Socialist movement, which sought to correct the evils of industrialism through measures based on Christian ethics. His first novel, Yeast (printed in Fraser’s Magazine, 1848; in book form, 1851), deals with the relations of the landed gentry to the rural poor. His second, the much superior Alton Locke (1850), is the story of a tailor-poet who rebels against the ignominy of sweated labour and becomes a leader of the Chartist movement. Kingsley advocated adult education, improved sanitation, and the growth of the cooperative movement, rather than political change, for the amelioration of social problems. The strenuous tone of his Broad Church Protestantism is often described as “muscular Christianity.” His novels, similarly, are often attributed to the “muscular” school of fiction. Kingsley soon turned to writing popular historical novels."

"text": "Article by: Sophie Ratcliffe Themes: Poverty and the working classes, Technology and science Published: 15 May 2014Writers such as Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell and Charlotte Brontë illuminated contemporary social problems through detailed descriptions of poverty and inequality. Dr Sophie Ratcliffe considers how the Condition of England novel portrayed 19th-century society, and the extent of its calls for reform. In the preface to her 1848 novel, Mary Barton, Elizabeth Gaskell reflected on the ‘unhappy state of things’ in Victorian England. Through the pages that followed she would, she said, highlight the divisions between ‘the employers and the employed’; she would speak for those who worked in the factories in appalling conditions, who struggled to feed their families, and who watched their children die from typhus. With its focus on the industrial North of England, and its use of Mancunian dialect, the novel had a pioneering quality. It was, Gaskell claimed, an attempt to break a silence and ‘to give some utterance to the agony which, from time to time, convulses this dumb people’. Gaskell was writing in a period of acute economic depression known as the ‘hungry forties’. Food shortages resulting from bad harvests swept across Northern Europe, factories laid off their workers, banks failed, and trade unions threatened strike action. A scene from Benjamin Disraeli’s 1845 novel Sybil: Or, the Two Nations, touches on the people’s sense of alienation. We live, one of his characters argues, in ‘two nations’:‘between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy; who are as ignorant of each other's habits, thoughts, and feelings, as if they were dwellers in different zones, or inhabitants of different planets….’ ‘"

"text": "\"Children's Rights (redirected from Constitutional Issues)Children's Rights The opportunity for children to participate in political and legal decisions that affect them; in a broadsense, the rights of children to live free from hunger, abuse, neglect, and other inhumaneconditions. The issue of children's rights is poorly defined in legislation and by the courts, partly because U. S.society as a whole has not decided how much autonomy to grant children. Although the United States is built on protecting the interests of individuals and the twentieth century saw the rights of people with special needs recognized, the nation has yet to extend to children legal standing (theright to bring a court case) and legal protection similar to that of adults. When most children's advocates talk about children's rights, they are not referring to the samerights held by adults, such as the rights to vote, drink, smoke, and run for office. Instead, they meanthat more emphasis should be placed on children's status as \"\"natural persons\"\" deserving of benefitsunder the law as provided in the U. S. Constitution and its Bill of Rights. The U. S. legal system grants rights to people who are deemed competent to exercise those rights. This qualification poses a dilemma for advocates of children's rights because most children lack theskills to advocate for themselves in the political, judicial, or economic arena. Yet, children's rightssupporters believe that because of this powerlessness, children must be granted more protectionsand power than has been provided in their legal status. Parens Patriae (\"\"the state as parent\"\") is the philosophy that guided many court decisions in the1990s. This approach basically assumes that the government has a duty to make decisions on behalf of children to ensure that their best interests are met."

William Addis of Clerkenwald, England, created the first mass-produced toothbrush. The first American to patent a toothbrush was H. N. Wadsworth and many American Companies began to mass-produce toothbrushes after 1885. The Pro-phy-lac-tic brush made by the Florence Manufacturing Company of Massachusetts is one example of an early American made toothbrush.

He hoped that the splendid air in the Surrey Hills would be beneficial for his wife Louise, who had tuberculosis. While the house was being built they rented Grayswood Beeches in Haslemere and stayed at Moorlands Hotel in Hindhead. Arthur, Louise and their children, Mary and Kingsley, finally moved into their new home, Undershaw, in autumn 1897. Undershaw was, he said, 'a considerable mansion planned upon a large scale'. Its elevated location made it feel like 'living in an entirely new country'. Louise's health improved and Arthur Conan Doyle's life there was active, productive and highly enjoyable. They hosted a lavish fancy dress Ball at the Beacon Hotel to celebrate Christmas 1898. He took an enthusiastic part in the lively artistic, scientific and sporting community around Hindhead. He played cricket for Haslemere and other local clubs, rode with the Chiddingfold Hunt, played golf at Hindhead and started a football and a rifle club at Undershaw."

It is based on the novel Schindler's Ark by Australian novelist Thomas Keneally. The film follows Oskar Schindler, a Sudeten German businessman, who saved the lives of more than a thousand mostly Polish-Jewish refugees from the Holocaust by employing them in his factories during World War II. It stars Liam Neeson as Schindler, Ralph Fiennes as SS officer Amon Göth, and Ben Kingsley as Schindler's Jewish accountant Itzhak Stern. Ideas for a film about the Schindlerjuden (Schindler Jews) were proposed as early as 1963. Poldek Pfefferberg, one of the Schindlerjuden, made it his life's mission to tell the story of Schindler. Spielberg became interested in the story when executive Sidney Sheinberg sent him a book review of Schindler's Ark. Universal Pictures bought the rights to the novel, but Spielberg, unsure if he was ready to make a film about the Holocaust, tried to pass the project to several other directors before finally deciding to direct the film himself. Principal photography took place in Kraków, Poland, over the course of 72 days in 1993."

Her classic style and eternal beauty – not to mention those wondrous eyebrows – still captivate us decades after she graced the big screen. What’s more, her hair evolution over the decades continues to give us inspiration. Talk about a chameleon: Hepburn’s style received a dramatic overhaul with every new movie she signed up to.

"text": "\"Floyd Mayweather starts sentence Jun 1, 2012Associated Press Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Emailprintcomment LAS VEGAS -- Floyd Mayweather Jr. surrendered in a courtroom Friday to begin a three-month jail sentence for attacking his ex-girlfriend in September 2010 while two of their children watched. Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa credited the undefeated five-division champion with attending weekly domestic violence counseling sessions -- including one the day of the May 5 fight she allowed him to make -- and with beginning to meet community service requirements she imposed in December. The judge then watched as Mayweather was handcuffed and taken away. Mayweather didn't say a word. \"\" He'll be all right,\"\" Mayweather's friend, rapper 50 Cent, told reporters after arriving with Mayweather and speaking afterward with ring adviser Leonard Ellerbe outside the courthouse in downtown Las Vegas. \"\" It's an uncomfortable situation for everyone,\"\" he said. Ellerbe declined to comment. Mayweather pleaded guilty in December to reduced domestic battery charges in a hair-pulling, arm-twisting attack on Josie Harris, the mother of three of his children. The plea deal allowed him to avoid trial on felony charges that could have gotten Mayweather up to 34 years in prison if he was convicted. \"\" Everyone has a different version of the same story,\"\" said 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III."

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."

"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."

Sylvanie-USA TODAY Sports The upcoming Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao fight on Saturday has been breaking most revenue records imaginable, and the unprecedented nature of the fight has carried over to the weigh-ins. Friday's weigh-ins promised to be perhaps the only event of the weekend that didn't deal with big dollar amounts because, well, every weigh-in in boxing's history has been free of charge. To avoid chaos, MGM Grand Garden Arena decided to make the tickets $10, but that didn't quell the demand for them one bit, as ESPN's Darren Rovell reported: Darren Rovell @ darrenrovell MGM Grand sold out more than 10,000 tickets to Friday's Mayweather-Pacquiao weigh-in (at $10 each) in 1 hr & 15 mins yesterday.2015-4-25 13:16:33Things have been relatively quiet entering the biggest fight in years, largely due to the boxers' lethargic feeling toward trash talking, but it's more of a calm before the storm than anything else. By the time the weekend comes around, these two future Hall of Fame boxers will have their minds right and won't back down on the big stage.

Attorneys for Pacquiao earlier lost a bid to end the lawsuit with a more severe sanction -- a default judgment for Pacquiao. But on Monday, they won more than $113,000 in legal fees and $774 in costs for what U. S. District Judge Larry Hicks bluntly called \"\"Mayweather's obviously intentional decision not to appear for his court ordered deposition. \"\" Pacquiao, a Filipino fighter against whom the undefeated Mayweather is frequently measured, has alleged that Mayweather defamed him by suggesting Pacquiao used performance-enhancing substances. Pacquiao has denied the claim. He filed the lawsuit in Las Vegas in December 2009 and has sought unspecified damages. \"\" Calling a professional athlete a cheater is the most serious charge one can make,\"\" the lawsuit said. \"\" Accusing an athlete of using performance-enhancing drugs -- however baseless and lacking in evidence -- is toxic. \"\" The two boxers never have fought in the ring, and the court saga playing out in Las Vegas has been seen as an impediment to a much-anticipated bout.

There's a case to be made that Pacquiao can pull an upset, but most expect Floyd to win this fight the same way he has won fights for years — making his opponent miss early, timing his counters to perfection, and eventually winning on points. There's a radical juxtaposition between Mayweather's persona out of the ring (obnoxious, offensive, appalling) and his style within it (calm, intelligent, pragmatic). Over the years the fighters who've lost to Mayweather have spoken about his boxing brilliance in glowing terms, and explained what makes him so hard to beat. Ricky Hatton (lost by knockout, December 8, 2007)\"\"I was fighting a genius, a boxing artist. I was getting more and more frustrated.

Many expected Mayweather and Mc Gregor to talk over each other, go on expletive-filled tirades and get physical. MORE: 37 astonishing UFC photos At times, they did talk over each other and go on expletive-filled tirades, but no physicality took place. It wasn't necessary because the press conference had plenty of moments to make the world salivate. Immediately after the presser ended, the question arose: Who won? Mc Gregor appeared to be off from the outset when he came out before he was announced by Jimmy Lennon Jr. He had a ton of nervous energy, dancing to his and to Mayweather's. When it came to their clothing, which both are known for, Mc Gregor wore a custom-made suit which said \"\"F— you\"\" in small lettering all over the suit. Mayweather showed up in his \"\"Money Team\"\" apparel. The outfit sparked Mc Gregor, who spoke first to make light of the five-division world champion's current issue with the IRS, as he reportedly owes $22.2 million."

( 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."

By Tim Struby60 Shares Share 60Tweet 0Share 0Email Print Photo: Warner Brothers It’s been 38 years since audiences first watched Rocky Balboa trade haymakers with Apollo Creed in Rocky 's climactic bout, a fight that was as thrilling as it was physiologically improbable. The latest installment in that franchise, Creed, once again has fans and critics cheering for its stirring, albeit familiar, underdog-boxer tale. It also mercifully skips over the more bureaucratic aspects of the modern boxing landscape, which would have put a damper on Adonis Creed's tale. Upsets and long-shot scenarios have forever been a part of the sweet science’s appeal, but how blurred are the lines between Don’s ascension and the realities of the business of boxing? We take a closer look. There are many spoilers ahead. Creed: While working a white-collar day job on the side, young Adonis Creed, having been blackballed by the L. A. boxing community due to his parentage, regularly travels to Mexico to compete in underground fights. Credence: Unsanctioned boxing matches have been around since the advent of the Queensbury Rules. Known in boxing parlance as ‘smokers,’ this type of bout was widely popular throughout the early to mid-1900’s, filling Elks Clubs and Knights of Columbus halls across the country."

"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."

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.

( Photo by Jeff Bottari/Getty Images)Getty Images Eddie Gonzalez is back at Bad Left Hook today with his take on 50 Cent entering the boxing fold, and why you shouldn't just dismiss his chances at becoming a major force in the sport. * * * * * A quick Google search will tell you that Bob Arum's net worth is $200 million. Oscar de la Hoya clocks in at $175 million. Curtis Jackson, the new CEO of TMT Promotions, comes in at a reported $100 million net worth. Suddenly, there is a promoter in boxing with the capital to go head to head with the major powers in the sport. For those who don't think that 50 Cent can be a serious player in the sport now, you are sadly mistaken. The obvious ace up 50's sleeve is his friend and current P4P and earnings king Floyd Mayweather. Yes, if TMT does end up promoting the next Floyd Mayweather event, as 50 alluded to on Twitter yesterday in a spat with Oscar, it will bring the yearly payday that is a Mayweather fight, but more importantly it will also take a huge chunk of revenue out of the hands of one of TMT's chief competitors. But even then, a Mayweather date is exactly that, a once a year date that offers a major payday for TMT."

"text": "(AP Photo/Richard Drew)Looking for news you can trust? Subscribe to our free newsletters. In October, GOP front-runner Donald Trump got a surprise endorsement from infamous boxer Mike Tyson. “ He should be president of the United States,” Tyson told the Huffington Post. “ Hell yeah, big time!” Tyson said he liked Trump’s business instincts: “The guy is winning fair and square, he’s not bribing anybody. ”Trump and Tyson are old friends who did business together in the late 1980s, when the real estate mogul promoted and hosted several of Tyson’s fights at his Atlantic City casinos and even fashioned himself for a time as the boxer’s “business adviser.” And in a largely forgotten episode, Trump came to the boxer’s aid during one the darkest moments of Tyson’s career—his 1992 conviction for raping a beauty queen. To save the champ from being locked up, Trump pitched a highly controversial proposal that would have essentially allowed Tyson to buy his way out of prison. To some observers, it looked like Trump was engaging in a form of bribery—or at least attempting to rig the system."

( Eric Jamison /AP)LAS VEGAS - Floyd Mayweather Jr. ’s request that he be released from jail because the low-quality food and water have threatened his health was denied by a Las Vegas judge who says he should eat and drink what is being given to him behind bars. TIM SMITH: FLOYD JUST CAN'T GO HOME AGAINJustice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa wrote in her late Wednesday decision that water has been made available to Mayweather around the clock and the only reason he isn’t eating properly is because he refuses to eat the provided meals. Saragosa said Mayweather’s complaints that he is unable to exercise in jail are also unfounded. “While the physical training areas and times provided to (Mayweather) may not be consistent with his prior regimen, he is indeed provided sufficient space and time for physical activity if he so chooses,” Saragosa wrote. A mere 10 days after Mayweather turned himself in to begin his three-month sentence, his legal team filed an emergency motion Monday asking the court to put him under house arrest or move him into the general jail population — something that jail officials had avoided to protect the celebrity fighter. The motion claimed the undefeated champion might never fight again because he was getting out of shape in solitary confinement. Mayweather lawyer Richard Wright didn’t immediately return a phone message late Wednesday. Wright said earlier this week that he was not seeking special treatment for the 35-year-old fighter.

Long ago, he was the novice to the Great Sentinel Prime and the humble leader of Cybertron's science division, which studied the All Spark and were protected by Lord High Protector Megatron's military. When Megatron was corrupted by the Fallen, Optimus discovered that he was the last of the Dynasty of Primes hidden away when the Fallen destroyed their lineage. In response to Megatron's attempts to seize the All Spark and conquer other worlds, Optimus assumed his proper title and rallied the Autobots to stand against the Decepticons. Before the disappearance of Sentinel, Optimus is handed the leadership of the Autobots. As obsessively as Megatron strives to achieve his objective, Optimus is equally as dedicated to stopping him even at the cost of his life, his world and - if necessary - his own people."

He has more weapons than a smaller third-world country, and he may or may not have blown up a planet with said weapons. His various weapons systems range from machine guns to Gatling missile launchers to his trusty cannons."

This Microman figure was available in two forms: a standard version in two color schemes (one grey, one black), and the \"\"Gun Robo - P38 U. N. C. L. E.\"\", outfitted with three distinctive accessories—a scope, a silencer and a stock—that replicate the appearance of the unique, specialized Walther pistol seen in the popular 1960s spy television series The Man from U. N. C. L. E. [1] It was the \"\"U. N. C. L. E.\"\" version, with all of its special accessories, that was released by Hasbro as Megatron. When the figure is in robot mode, the sight doubles as his signature arm-mounted fusion cannon, but can also be combined with the other attachments to form either a \"\"Particle Beam Cannon\"\" weapons emplacement that Megatron can man, or a \"\"Telescopic Laser Cannon\"\" that connects to the figure as an over-shoulder weapons array. The pieces can also form a turret that a Microman figure can sit on and operate (that's what the tiny handles on Megatron's fusion cannon are for), but this feature was naturally left out of the Transformers version's instructions. Megatron also came with a chromed silver \"\"high-density infrared laser cannon\"\" that plugs into his either of his hands. The original Microman release of the toy that would be Megatron featured a spring-loaded firing mechanism that allowed the toy to shoot ( dangerously small) plastic bullets one at a time from its barrel."

"text": "\"Titans Return Megatron with Doomshot I'm a little surprised that there hasn't been a Generations/Classics style Megatron triplechanger before now. His multi form version are limited to Robots In Disguise and Cybertron. He's been a tank for many years now and even before his Generation 2 version he was associated with a tank in Action Masters and that's been his most common form right up to his most recent version in Combiner Wars. The most common form for Decepticons is jets and Megatron's been one a few times. His first jet was in Machine Wars and, barring the multichangers mentioned above, he's also been one in Energon & Generations Thrilling 30. I thought Generations T30 Blitzwing, despite it's shoulder issues, had a good chance of being Megatron but the best opportunity to do that in Cloud was missed when Starscream was made from Blitzwing and Megatron was another reuse of the NEST Bludgeon toy that had previously made the Generations GDO Megatron. Now it's painfully obvious that Megatron with Doomshot and his opposite number Optimus Prime with Diac are due to be new versions of Blitzwing & Octane. Blitzwing, as mentioned above, has some serious issues with his most recent version, Octane's never been done in the Voyager scale the rest of the Triplechangers have been and Astrotrain has already been remade in Titans Return as a repaint of Sentinel Prime, another use of a \"\"pre paint\"\" where the repaint comes out before the obvious intended version. But it is nice to see Megatron and Optimus facing off against each other at the same size again. T30 Megatron didn't have an Optimus, just Orion Pax, while in Combiner Wars Megatron was done only as a Leader and not a Voyager combiner core like Optimus Prime was."

His small size, matched with his impressive speed, made him an excellent scout and messenger on war-torn Cybertron. Grievously injured and rendered mute by Megatron during the war for Cybertron, Bumblebee was haunted by the loss of his voice box for many years, creating a ruthless streak at odds with his otherwise friendly personality. Determined to prove himself, Bumblebee kept fighting even after the Transformers' age-old war spilled over to Earth. Earth was a far cry from the ravaged wasteland of his birth, and Bumblebee adapted to his new home faster than any of his fellow Autobots. He's grown to like and understand humans, particularly Raf Esquivel, and Denny and Russell Clay.

"text": "\"news New Transformers Animated Movie Is Coming, May Actually Be About Transformers By Adam Holmes2 years ago Despite less than stellar reviews for each of its four films (and that’s putting it mildly), the Transformers franchise continues to trudge along thanks to staggering box office numbers. It’s already been announced that Transformers 5 will be released in 2017, but the franchise has also has aims beyond live action. There is now an animated movie also in the works, one which may not have humans hogging the spotlight. According to Deadline, Ant-Man script writers Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari have been recruited to work on an animated origin story that focuses on Cybertron, the home planet of the shape shifting robots. Although there have been numerous Transformers animated shows over the decades, this will be the first theatrical animated movie since 1986’s The Transformers: The Movie. This new project was one of the results of a massive writers meeting where, over the course of two weeks, different creative talent pitched Transformers ideas to Steven Spielberg, Michael Bay, Paramount, Hasbro, and other head honchos. In the Transformers mythology, Cybertron is the world where both the benevolent Autobots and malevolent Deceptions hail from. In the live action films, the planet died after a devastating war over the Allspark, which is the origin of all life on Cybertron. It’s unclear whether this animated film will be set in the same universe as the live action films or if it will be its own entity. If it’s the former, then we’ll see firsthand the events that led to the planet’s downfall, but if it’s the latter, then any potential sequels to the animated movie would be free to go in any direction without worrying about continuity alignment."

"text": "\"Mehmed the Conqueror Mehmed II, the Conqueror (ca. 1432-1481) was a Turkish sultan who conquered Constantinople and ruthlessly consolidated and enlarged the Ottoman Empire with a military crusade into Asia and Europe. Mehmed Celebi, the third son of the Ottoman sultan Murad II, was born on March 30, 1432 (or 1430, as cited in some sources). Though much is known of his father, very little is known of his mother. According to some traditions she was a French princess, while others refer to her simply as an Italian woman named Estella. In later custom, she is referred to as Huma Hatan, after the bird of paradise of Persian legend. Yet most likely, Mehmed's mother was a slave, and there is evidence to suggest that she was a recent convert from Judaism. The first years of the prince were spent in the harem of the palace at Erdine (in the European territories of the Empire), although in 1434 he was sent to Amaysa, in eastern Anatolia. According to custom, at five years of age he was given the governorship of the city, with a number of carefully chosen councillors, for his first taste of authority. In 1439, he was brought back to Erdine for his circumcision ceremonies whereupon he was given a different governorship."

Two major constraints dictated the siting of ancient cities: topography and strategic considerations. The site of this new town was located at the tip of a peninsula that commanded three waterways. With the formal establishment of the polis, a city wall measuring five kilometers in length and having twenty-seven towers was built as protection. Within the walls, a hill within the walls was selected as its acropolis. This was the first of the city's eventual seven hills - apparently a topographical \"\"must\"\" for legendary ancient cities. Continuous expansion and growth resulted in several transformations of the city's appearance. The first major one took place in 196, during the reign of the Roman emperor Septimus Severus. This involved the rebuilding of the land wall. Another Roman emperor, Constantine the Great, transformed the city into a great metropolis that he renamed Constantinopolis."

The sultans of the Ottoman Empire ( Turkish: Osmanlı padişahları ), who were all members of the Ottoman dynasty (House of Osman), ruled over the transcontinental empire from its perceived inception in 1299 to its dissolution in 1922. At its height, the Ottoman Empire spanned an area from Hungary in the north to Yemen in the south, and from Algeria in the west to Iraq in the east. Administered at first from the city of Bursa, the empire's capital was moved to Edirne in 1363 following its conquest by Murad I, and then to Constantinople (present-day Istanbul) in 1453 following its conquest by Mehmed II. [ 1]The Ottoman Empire's early years have been the subject of varying narratives due to the difficulty of discerning fact from legend. The empire came into existence at the end of the thirteenth century, and its first ruler (and the namesake of the Empire) was Osman I. According to later, often unreliable Ottoman tradition, Osman was a descendant of the Kayı tribe of the Oghuz Turks. [ 2] The eponymous Ottoman dynasty he founded endured for six centuries through the reigns of 36 sultans. The Ottoman Empire disappeared as a result of the defeat of the Central Powers with whom it had allied itself during World War I. The partitioning of the Empire by the victorious Allies and the ensuing Turkish War of Independence led to the abolition of the sultanate in 1922 and the birth of the modern Republic of Turkey in 1922.

That is the most important reason for their success. When the Ottomans first gained independence after the break up of the Rum sultanate both the Balkans and Anatolia were a absolute mess. Anatolia was divided between tons of feuding Ghazis , it was almost natural that one of the Ghazis was going to subjugate the others. Here the Ottomans had a important advantage , they were one of the western most ghazis and had the easiest access to the Balkans which was in a quagmire of its own. Most of the Balkan states were in decline - the Crusader states were quickly losing power to the Romans , the Romans were overextending themselves and leaving their Anatolian possessions up for grabs and Bulgaria was in a period of civil wars and unrest that would only end with their annexation. The only states that had any kind of success were Serbia and Venice it wasn't all great for them either. The Serbs to went into permanent decline after the brilliant reign of Stefan Dusan while Venice in spite of being a powerful foe up till the 1500's was too far away to actually take decisive action against the Ottomans. The struggle between the Kantakouzenos and the Palaiologos , the infighting between the various Bulgarian dynasts , the break up of Serbia into different principalities made the Balkans a highly conducive area for Ottoman conquest. The Ottomans by comparison didn't have any such problems until the death of Bayezid Yildirim."

At midday Tuesday, May 29, 1453, Mehmed, whom history will call the Conqueror, rides into the city on his white horse. The chronicler Kritovoulos reports that the sultan shed tears of compassion: ‘What a city we have given over to plunder and destruction.’. Priding himself as a new Constantine sitting on the throne of the Caesars, Mehmed the Conqueror repopulated his new capital and restaffed its bureaucracy partly with Greeks and Serbs. In his court, influenced by Persian as well as Byzantine traditions, he became an aloof autocrat surrounded by elaborate ceremony. The once migratory Ottomans, now based in Constantine’s city, proceeded to conquer a mosaic of nations similar in extent to Justinian’s empire. The Ottoman Empire let its Orthodox subjects keep their Christian religion and Greco-Roman laws – so long as they paid tribute, kept their churches inconspicuous so as not to offend Islamic eyes, and furnished levies for its armies and administration. This tithe in humans periodically took the most intelligent Christian Balkan boys … converted them to Islam, and drafted them into the elite army corps, the Janissaries, or trained them as court functionaries."

He modernized the country’s legal and educational systems and encouraged the adoption of a European way of life, with Turkish written in the Latin alphabet and with citizens adopting European-style names. One of the great figures of the 20th century, Atatürk rescued the surviving Turkish remnant of the defeated Ottoman Empire at the end of World War I. He galvanized his people against invading Greek forces who sought to impose the Allied will upon the war-weary Turks and repulsed aggression by British, French, and Italian troops. Through these struggles, he founded the modern Republic of Turkey, for which he is still revered by the Turks. He succeeded in restoring to his people pride in their Turkishness, coupled with a new sense of accomplishment as their nation was brought into the modern world. Over the next two decades, Atatürk created a modern state that would grow under his successors into a viable democracy. ( For a more complete discussion of this period in Turkish history, see Turkey, history of: The emergence of the modern Turkish state . ) Early life and education Atatürk was born in 1881 in Salonika, then a thriving port of the Ottoman Empire, and was given the name Mustafa. His father, Ali Riza, had been a lieutenant in a local militia unit during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–78, indicating that his origins were within the Ottoman ruling class, if only marginally. Mustafa’s mother, Zübeyde Hanım, came from a farming community west of Salonika."

A descendant of Rollo, he was Duke of Normandy (as William II) from 1035 onward. After a long struggle to establish his power, by 1060 his hold on Normandy was secure, and he launched the Norman conquest of England six years later. The rest of his life was marked by struggles to consolidate his hold over England and his continental lands and by difficulties with his eldest son. William was the son of the unmarried Robert I, Duke of Normandy, by Robert's mistress Herleva. His illegitimate status and his youth caused some difficulties for him after he succeeded his father, as did the anarchy that plagued the first years of his rule. During his childhood and adolescence, members of the Norman aristocracy battled each other, both for control of the child duke and for their own ends. In 1047 William was able to quash a rebellion and begin to establish his authority over the duchy, a process that was not complete until about 1060. His marriage in the 1050s to Matilda of Flanders provided him with a powerful ally in the neighbouring county of Flanders. By the time of his marriage, William was able to arrange the appointments of his supporters as bishops and abbots in the Norman church."

As the founder of the Timurid Empire in Persia and Central Asia, he became the first ruler in the Timurid dynasty. [ 4] According to John Joseph Saunders, Timur's background was Iranized and not steppe nomadic. [ 5]Born into the Barlas confederation in Transoxiana (in modern-day Uzbekistan) on 9 April 1336, Timur gained control of the western Chagatai Khanate by 1370. From that base he led military campaigns across Western, South and Central Asia, the Caucasus and southern Russia, and emerged as the most powerful ruler in the Muslim world after defeating the Mamluks of Egypt and Syria, the emerging Ottoman Empire, and the declining Delhi Sultanate.

"text": "The Guns of Constantinoplefacebook twitter linkedin pinterest print By Roger Crowley 7/30/2007 • Gear, Military History Early in 1452, a Hungarian cannon founder by the name of Orban arrived in Constantinople, seeking his fortune at the imperial court. One of a growing band of technical mercenaries who plied their trade across the Balkans, he offered Emperor Constantine XI one of the most highly prized skills of the age: the ability to cast large bronze guns. For Constantine and the Christian empire of Byzantium that he ruled, these were dark days. For 150 years the Byzantine frontier had been crumbling before the advance of the Ottoman Turks. By the time Constantine assumed the throne in 1449, his impoverished kingdom had shrunk to little more than the footprint of the city, surrounded on all sides by Ottoman land. The new sultan, Mehmed II—young, ambitious and hungry for conquest—was making ominous military preparations in his European capital, Edirne, 140 miles to the west. It was clear he was intent on capturing the prize that had eluded previous Ottoman rulers: Constantinople. Constantine was extremely interested in Orban’s offer and authorized a small stipend to detain him in the city. But Constantine had few funds available for the construction of new weapons. Bronze cannons were ruinously expensive, well beyond the means of the cash-strapped emperor."

"text": "Did John Wayne die of cancer caused by a radioactive movie set? October 26, 1984Dear Cecil: My girlfriend says that half of the film crew and eight of the cast of the movie The Conqueror starring John Wayne died of cancer after an A-bomb test in Nevada. It can't be the truth — that many people — can it? Please, Cecil, give us the Straight Dope. John L., Santa Monica, California Illustration by Slug Signorino Cecil replies: I’m horrified to have to report this, John, but your girlfriend’s claim is only slightly exaggerated. Of the 220 persons who worked on The Conqueror on location in Utah in 1955, 91 had contracted cancer as of the early 1980s and 46 died of it, including stars John Wayne, Susan Hayward, and Agnes Moorehead, and director Dick Powell. Experts say under ordinary circumstances only 30 people out of a group of that size should have gotten cancer. The cause? No one can say for sure, but many attribute the cancers to radioactive fallout from U. S. atom bomb tests in nearby Nevada. The whole ghastly story is told in The Hollywood Hall of Shame by Harry and Michael Medved."

Mehmet/Mehmed Pronunciation Turkish: [mehˈmet]Bosnian: [ˈmɛxmɛd]German: [meːˈmɛt]Gender Male Language (s) Turkish, Bosnian, Albanian, Crimean Tatar Origin Meaning Muhammad Other names Alternative spelling Mehmed Derived Muḥammad مُحَمَّد, from Ḥammada \"\"Praise\"\" حَمَّدَRelated names Muhammad, Mohd, Ma Mehmed (modern Turkish: Mehmet) is the most common Turkish form of the Arabic name Muhammad ( Arabic: محمد ) ( Muhammed and Muhammet are also used, though considerably less) and gains its significance from being the name of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam. Originally the intermediary vowels in the Arabic Muhammad were completed with an e in adoption to Turkish phonotactics, which spelled Mehemed, and the name lost the central e over time. Final devoicing of d to t is a regular process in Turkish. The prophet himself is referred to in Turkish using the archaic version, Muhammed. The name Mehmet also often appears in derived compound names. The name is also prevalent in former Ottoman territories, particularly among Balkan Muslims in Albania, Bosnia, and Kosovo. The name is also commonly used in Turkish culture in the form of Mehmetçik, meaning little Mehmet, for unranked soldiers.

A short abstract is available on the Smithsonian Magazine website. The complete text of the article is published here (copyright © 2000 - 2018 Stanley Meisler, all rights reserved). Subscribe to the Smithsonian Magazine. For centuries, the Western world was fascinated by the marvels and mysteries of the Ottoman Empire and the sultans who ruled their vast domains from the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul. Writers, composers and artists celebrated or satirized the omnipotence and opulence of the sultans and the secrecy lurking in the harem. The creative works about the Turks were so numerous that the French had a word for the genre: Turqueries. The examples are plentiful and well-known. In the 17th century, Molière's Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme ridicules a bourgeois father who allows a young man to marry his daughter only after the suitor pretends to be the son of the sultan. In the 18th century, Mozart's opera The Abduction from the Seraglio tells the story of two kidnapped young women who are freed from a pasha's palace."

"text": "\"Arts & Humanities History Where did the Normans come from? This is another question for my exam! Help! Thanx!2 following 8 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The Normans were the people who gave their names to Normandy, a region in northern France. They descended from Viking conquerors of the territory and the native population of mostly Frankish and Gallo-Roman stock. Their identity emerged initially in the first half of the tenth century, and gradually evolved over succeeding centuries until they disappeared as an ethnic group in the early thirteenth century. The name \"\"Normans\"\" derives from \"\"Northmen\"\" or \"\"Norsemen\"\", after the Vikings from Scandinavia who founded Normandy (Northmannia in its original Latin). They played a major political, military, and cultural role in medieval Europe and even the Near East. They were famed for their martial spirit and Christian piety. They quickly adopted the Romance language of the land they settled in, their dialect becoming known as Norman, an important literary language."

"text": "\"Friday, February 24, 1995 - Page updated at 12:00 AME-mail article Print Melvin Franklin, Bass For The Temptations APLOS ANGELES - Melvin Franklin, an original member of The Temptations whose deep voice anchored harmonies on such hits as \"\"The Way You Do the Things You Do\"\" and \"\"My Girl,\"\" died yesterday. He was 52. Mr. Franklin died of heart failure, a week after he was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center following a series of seizures, hospital spokesman Ron Wise said. \"\" He sustained significant neurological damage, which was complicated by diabetes and other medical problems,\"\" Wise said. Born David English on Oct. 12, 1942, in Montgomery, Ala., Mr. Franklin sang with The Elgins, renamed The Primes, who began recording for Detroit's Motown Records in 1960. Two years later, the group reformed as The Temptations with Mr. Franklin, Otis Williams, Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams and Eldridge Bryant. David Ruffin replaced Bryant in 1964, and the group signed with Motown. Mr. Franklin's basso profundo was the heart of The Temptations, with much of the group's harmonizing overlaying his bass. Last September, The Temptations got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The group's first hit was \"\"The Way You Do the Things You Do\"\" in 1964."

His father, Eli Ruffin, was a Baptist minister. Only months after his birth his mother Ophelia Ruffin died, and his father later remarried, to a schoolteacher. David began singing and touring at a very young age with his father and siblings in a gospel group. Leaving home at 13 to pursue the ministry, it was David's select showmanship that caught the eyes of some in the secular music industry. He then moved to Detroit, Michigan, and was signed to Anna Records in 1960 and then Check-Mate Records in 1961. David didn't have hits with either label, but they were good showcases for his vocal ability and talent. In 1964 he joined The Temptations, who had yet to chart a hit, at Motown Records. The \"\"Tempts\"\"' hitless status changed in March of 1965 with the classic \"\"My Girl\"\", on which David sang lead. The song stayed at #1 for eight weeks, and the rest is history."

Folks say papa would beg, borrow, steal To pay his bills Hey momma Folks say papa never was much on thinking Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth Momma looked up with a tear in her eye and said, son [Hook]×4More on Genius Dennis Edwards Of The Temptations Has Passed Away At 74About “Papa Was a Rollin' Stone”The Temptations' “Papa Was A Rollin' Stone” was written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong and produced by Whitfield. Released as a single on the Gordy label in late September 1972, the song became an instant smash, and only the veteran group’s third single – after 1964’s “My Girl” and 1971’s “Just My Imagination” – to hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 (though it only reached #5 R&B). The Tempts' version was actually the song’s second single release. Whitfield had initially recorded the song – in a more typical funk arrangement, with lush, almost Latin-inflected instrumentation – on second-tier Motown group The Undisputed Truth, who had a minor hit with it (#24 R&B) earlier in the year. “ Papa” was a critical as well as a commercial success, garnering three Grammy Awards in 1973 for the group, the songwriters, and long-time Motown arranger Paul Riser. At 6:54, “Papa” was easily the longest track Motown had released as a single up to that point, and quite a departure from the company’s “in-and-out-in-under-three-minutes” ethos of the previous decade. The LP version – appearing on the Tempts' album All Directions – is nearly twice as long at over twelve minutes. With its relatively sparse but expansive instrumentation, the song marks something of a departure from the Sly and the Family Stone-influenced “psychedelic soul” of the early Dennis Edwards era, into the more “orchestral funk” sound that Isaac Hayes and others had made popular through their soundtrack work on so-called blaxploitation films. Like most of the group’s singles since 1968, however, “Papa” finds the Temptations sharing lead vocals."

"text": "\"Question: Do Jews believe that a person can sell his/her soul to the devil? Response: The idea of \"\"selling one's soul to the devil\"\"—meaning, becoming a slave of the devil in exchange for favors provided—does not exist in Torah. Jewish ethical works do describe instances where one can be somewhat \"\"possessed\"\" by evil drives. But even that state is always reversible. Before addressing this, here's a bit on the nature of Satan in Jewish thought: Satan is a Hebrew verb meaning \"\"provoke\"\" or \"\"oppose\"\" and is used several times in the Bible as a verb. The first instance is in the story of Balaam, when Balaam decides to take the mission of cursing the Jewish People:\"\" G‑d 's wrath flared because he was going, and an angel of the L‑rd stationed himself on the road to oppose him [translation of l'satan lo ], and he was riding on his she-donkey, and his two servants were with him. 1In other cases, the word appears as a noun, \"\"a provocateur.\"\" Generally, the title appears with the definite article—\"\"the satan\"\"—which means that it is not a proper name, just a job description. For example, in the book of Job, the satan appears as a prosecutor before G‑d:\"\"Now the day came about, and the angels of G‑d came to stand beside the L‑rd, and the satan, too, came among them…\"\"\"\"Now the L‑rd said to the satan, \"\"Have you paid attention to My servant Job? For there is none like him on earth, a sincere and upright man, G‑d-fearing and shunning evil. \"\""

( Getty Images)Football may be moving more and more toward the passing game, but last year still saw 57 college players run for over 1,000 yards during the season. Both Melvin Gordon and Samaje Perine set the singe-game FBS rushing record. Gordon and Tevin Coleman both ran for over 2,000 yards. And there were 21 performances with at least 250 rushing yards by a player in a game. While players like Gordon and Coleman -- along with other stars like Todd Gurley -- are gone to the NFL, the running back position remains loaded entering this fall, thanks to Ezekiel Elliott's late-season breakout for Ohio State, along with what was one of the best freshman classes ever. Over the next several weeks, Sports on Earth will break down the best players returning to college football in 2015, position by position. These are not NFL draft rankings; they are evaluations of current college players and how they fit into the national landscape.

"text": "\"Jimmy Ruffin may have missed out on a dream gig in the 1960s, but he went on to have a long career with Motown Records. Randy Lewis Contact Reporter Jimmy Ruffin, who sang Motown hit 'What Becomes of the Brokenhearted,' dies at 78Any suspicions that soul singer Jimmy Ruffin might have harbored hard feelings after his younger brother, David, snatched one of the great gigs in 1960s pop music out of his hands would have been dispelled when the siblings came together in 1970 to collaborate on a harmonious update of Ben E. King's signature ode to solidarity, \"\"Stand By Me. \"\" Jimmy Ruffin, who died Monday in a Las Vegas hospital at age 78, had been in the running to join the lineup of Motown Records' great male vocal group the Temptations in 1964. But when the other members of the group heard David sing, they gave him the job for his slightly grittier sound. That didn't sideline Jimmy for long: He heard a song that Motown writers William Weatherspoon, Paul Riser and James Dean had crafted with the Spinners in mind, and persuaded them to let him record it. \"\" What Becomes of the Brokenhearted,\"\" a lament for the anguish a man feels in the face of love that has departed, gave Ruffin his first Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. It ignited a solo career that comprised 10 other charted singles, the last of which, \"\"Hold On to My Love,\"\" brought him back to the Top 10 in 1980 during a new round of popularity, the result of his move to England to further his career overseas. \"\" Jimmy Ruffin was a phenomenal singer,\"\" Motown founder Berry Gordy said in a statement Wednesday. \"\" He was truly underrated because we were also fortunate to have his brother, David, as the lead singer of the Temptations, who got so much acclaim. Jimmy, as a solo artist, had 'What Becomes of the Brokenhearted,' one of the greatest songs put out by Motown and also one of my personal favorites. \"\""

Is Original Sin (Sin Nature) Passed through the Father’s Genetic Line?by Bodie Hodge on February 23, 2010Share: How is original sin passed in order for Christ to remain sinless? This question and variants like it have arisen in the past. Follow this reasoning: Basis: Jesus was sinless ( Hebrews 4:15, 1 John 3:5 ). Jesus was a descendant of Adam as per Luke 3 (in His humanity). Descendants of Adam receive original sin because they were in Adam when Adam sinned ( Romans 5:12 ). So how did Jesus avoid having original sin? There are several popular responses to this (basic arguments given below) that show there is no contradiction within Scripture: Father’ line: Jesus inherited genetic material from Mary (to be fully human, i.e., descendant of Adam to become the Last Adam) but not from Joseph, therefore, original sin must pass through the father to the offspring. This allows Jesus to avoid original sin. Sin nature is not sin: the terms “sin nature” or “original sin” are not found in the Bible and are terms derived by humans when looking at certain passages."

Whitfield first produced the song – an obvious anti-Vietnam War protest – with The Temptations as the original vocalists. After Motown began receiving repeated requests to release \"\"War\"\" as a single, Whitfield re-recorded the song with Edwin Starr as the vocalist, with the label deciding to withhold the Temptations' version from single release so as not to alienate their more conservative fans. Starr's version of \"\"War\"\" was a number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1970, and is not only the most successful and well-known record of his career, but it is also one of the most popular protest songs ever recorded. It was one of 161 songs on the Clear Channel no-play list after September 11, 2001. [ 1]The song's power was reasserted when Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band took their rendition into the U.

This boldness identifies the great scientist if the predictions are later found to be accurate. One such person was Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev.

He initially organized the elements by atomic weight, leading to a table where some elements followed the periodic law* and did their own homework but others did not. Mendeleev dealt with this by leaving gaps and in some cases switching the places of elements based on their chemical properties rather than atomic weight (this caused the elements to be ordered based on what we now know as atomic number). The gaps in the periodic table were put there for no deeper reason than to make the table follow the periodic law. Mendeleev was the first to realize that the eight gaps in his table indicated that there were undiscovered elements that fit into those gaps. He was also able to use the periodic table to predict some properties of both discovered and undiscovered elements. * Properties of elements recur at regular intervals.520 Views · View Upvoters Related Questions More Answers Below Why did Mendeleev arrange the periodic table in the manner he did?

After his father went blind and could no longer support the family, Mendeleev’s mother started a glass factory to help make ends meet. But just as Mendeleev was finishing high school, his father died and the glass factory burned down. With most of her other children now out on their own, his mother took her son to St. Petersburg, working tirelessly and successfully to get him into college. In the late 1860's, Mendeleev began working on his great achievement: the periodic table of the elements. By arranging all of the 63 elements then known by their atomic weights, he managed to organize them into groups possessing similar properties. Where a gap existed in the table, he predicted a new element would one day be found and deduced its properties. And he was right.

A: Quick Answer When Dmitri Mendeleev created the Periodic Table of the Elements, he decided against arranging them by their atomic numbers based on his correct assumption that those numbers were not totally accurate. When he first began to arrange the 60 known elements in the 1860s, he knew that new elements would eventually be discovered there are now over 100 known elements and that the atomic weights of the elements known at that time had been calculated incorrectly.

Credit: STEVE HORRELL/SPL Science Photo Library Getty Images Full Answer The Russian chemist, known as the father of the periodic table, saw that some of the elements appeared in the wrong place when arranged by their atomic weights. For example, he saw that a reactive non metal element would be followed by a highly reactive light metal and then be followed by a less reactive light metal. Mendeleev came to the conclusion that by following what were the then assumed atomic weights, the elements appeared in places where their properties did not match those of their neighbors.

Mendeleev found he could arrange the 65 elements then known in a grid or table so that each element had:1. A higher atomic weight than the one on its left. For example, magnesium (atomic weight 24.3) is placed to the right of sodium (atomic weight 23.0).2. Similar chemical properties to other elements in the same column - in other words similar chemical reactions. Magnesium, for example, is placed in the alkali earths' column. Mendeleev realized that the table in front of him lay at the very heart of chemistry. And more than that, Mendeleev saw that his table was incomplete - there were spaces where elements should be, but no-one had discovered them. Just as Adams and Le Verrier could be said to have discovered the planet Neptune on paper, Mendeleev could be said to have discovered germanium on paper. He called this new element eka-silicon, after observing a gap in the periodic table between silicon and tin."

Learning Objectives Discuss the origins and history of the periodic table. Key Takeaways Key Points Although the work of alchemists was originally a misguided effort to convert lead into silver and gold, their studies laid a foundation that aided a later fundamental understanding of matter. The modern periodic table was devised by Dmitri Mendeleev and is a useful framework for organizing and analyzing chemical and physical behavior of the elements. The notation in the periodic table includes references to atomic mass and atomic number. Key Termsproton: A positively charged subatomic particle forming part of the nucleus of an atom and determining the atomic number of an element; the nucleus of the most common isotope of hydrogen, composed of two up quarks and a down quark.element: Any one of the simplest chemical substances that cannot be decomposed in a chemical reaction or by any chemical means, made up of atoms all having the same number of protons.alchemy: The ancient search for a universal panacea and for the philosopher’s stone. The process eventually developed into chemistry. The modern periodic table organizes the known elements in several ways: it lists them in order of patterns of atomic weight, electron configuration, reactivity, and electronegativity. It is such a good method of organizing and presenting the known elements that it has been used to successfully predict the existence of certain elements. Today, it is applied not only by chemists but also in all related sciences to understand the properties and reactivity of atoms and molecules."

His Traité Élémentaire de Chimie (1789) was the first modern chemical textbook, and presented a unified view of new theories of chemistry. In addition, it contained a list of 33 elements, or substances that could not be broken down further. His list also included light (lumière) and caloric (calorique), which he believed to be material substances. Lavoisier himself grouped them into four categories on the basis of their chemical properties: Simple substances belonging to all the kingdoms of nature, which may be considered as the elements of bodies (gases),Oxidable and Acidifiable simple Substances not Metallic (nonmetals),Oxidable and Acidifiable simple Metallic Bodies (metals),Salifiable simple Earthy Substances (earths).

Its a good 'advanced' example of how science works i.e. the relationship between experimental data and theories to account for it, questions posed, questions answered, leading to more comprehensive and accurate theories developing.1.1 The early classification of Antoine Lavoisier of 1789Antoine Lavoisier's 1789 classification of substances into four 'element' groupsacid-making elements gas-like elements metallic elements earthy elementssulphur light cobalt, mercury, tin lime (calcium oxide)phosphorus caloric (heat) copper, nickel, iron, magnesia (magnesium oxide)charcoal (carbon) oxygen gold, lead, silver, zinc barytes (barium sulphate)azote (nitrogen) manganese, tungsten argilla (aluminium oxide)hydrogen platina (platinum) silex (silicon dioxide)The understanding that an element as a unique atomic 'building block' which could not be split into simpler substances and compound is a chemical combination of two or more elements were not at all understood at the time of Lavoisier. ' light' and 'caloric' (heat), were considered 'substances' and the last 'scientific' vestige of the elements of 'earth, fire, air and water' which had there conceptual origin in the Greek civilisation of 2300-2800 years ago.

"text": "\"Mendeleev 's Periodic Table In 1869, just five years after John Newlands put forward his Law of Octaves, a Russian chemist called Dmitri Mendeleev published a periodic table. Mendeleev also arranged the elements known at the time in order of relative atomic mass, but he did some other things that made his table much more successful. Indestructibility of Matter Mendeleev's Opinion on Global warming Mendeleev eight periodic principles Mendeleev on the law of periodicity Primary Object of Chemistry Principles of Chemistry by Dmitrii Mendeleev Rusting of Metals Mendeleev realized that the physical and chemical properties of elements were related to their atomic mass in a 'periodic' way, and arranged them so that groups of elements with similar properties fell into vertical columns in his table. Gaps and predictions Sometimes this method of arranging elements meant there were gaps in his horizontal rows or 'periods'. But instead of seeing this as a problem, Mendeleev thought it simply meant that the elements which belonged in the gaps had not yet been discovered. He was also able to work out the atomic mass of the missing elements, and so predict their properties. And when they were discovered, Mendeleev turned out to be right. For example, he predicted the properties of an undiscovered element that should fit below aluminum in his table. When this element, called gallium, was discovered in 1875 its properties were found to be close to Mendeleev's predictions. Two other predicted elements were later discovered, lending further credit to Mendeleev's table."

Elements are arranged from left to right and top to bottom in order of increasing atomic number. Order generally coincides with increasing atomic mass. The rows are called periods. The period number of an element signifies the highest energy level an electron in that element occupies (in the unexcited state), according to the Los Alamos National Laboratory. The number of electrons in a period increases as one moves down the periodic table; therefore, as the energy level of the atom increases, the number of energy sub-levels per energy level increases. Elements that occupy the same column on the periodic table (called a \"\"group\"\") have identical valance electron configurations and consequently behave in a similar fashion chemically. For instance, all the group 18 elements are inert gases. [ Related: How Are the Elements Grouped? ]“ We are star stuff, harvesting starlight\"\"' wrote Carl Sagan in 1978."

His scientific work laid the foundations of all subsequent electro-technology. From his experiments came devices which led directly to the modern electric motor, generator and transformer. Michael Faraday was born on 22 September 1791. At the age of fourteen he was apprenticed to a London bookbinder. Reading many of the books in the shop, Faraday became fascinated by science, and wrote to Sir Humphry Davy at the Royal Institution asking for a job. On 1 March 1813, he was appointed laboratory assistant at the Royal Institution. There Faraday immersed himself in the study of chemistry, becoming a skilled analytical chemist."

"text": "Michael Faraday, (born September 22, 1791, Newington, Surrey, England—died August 25, 1867, Hampton Court, Surrey), English physicist and chemist whose many experiments contributed greatly to the understanding of electromagnetism. Faraday, who became one of the greatest scientists of the 19th century, began his career as a chemist. He wrote a manual of practical chemistry that reveals his mastery of the technical aspects of his art, discovered a number of new organic compounds, among them benzene, and was the first to liquefy a “permanent” gas (i.e., one that was believed to be incapable of liquefaction). His major contribution, however, was in the field of electricity and magnetism. He was the first to produce an electric current from a magnetic field, invented the first electric motor and dynamo, demonstrated the relation between electricity and chemical bonding, discovered the effect of magnetism on light, and discovered and named diamagnetism, the peculiar behaviour of certain substances in strong magnetic fields. He provided the experimental, and a good deal of the theoretical, foundation upon which James Clerk Maxwell erected classical electromagnetic field theory. Early life Michael Faraday was born in the country village of Newington, Surrey, now a part of South London. His father was a blacksmith who had migrated from the north of England earlier in 1791 to look for work. His mother was a country woman of great calm and wisdom who supported her son emotionally through a difficult childhood. Faraday was one of four children, all of whom were hard put to get enough to eat, since their father was often ill and incapable of working steadily."

It refers to physical phenomena arising from the force caused by magnets, objects that produce fields that attract or repel other objects. 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.

Ancient Hindu (East Indian) civilizations used henbane (a plant) and wine as well as hemp. In the first century the Greek physician Dioscorides ( A.

Dioscorides used the Greek word \"\"anesthesia\"\" to describe this sleep. And the Greek poet Homer (author of the Illiad and the Odyssey) referred to the pain-killing effects of the potion nepenthe. Early Anesthetics Alcoholic beverages such as wine and brandy have long been used to induce numbness. Opium, which comes from the poppy plant, also has a long history of use in human cultures. Seeds of the opium poppy have been found in prehistoric Swiss lake dwellings and in Egyptian ruins.

He was the secretary for the National Institute for the Promotion of Science, a precursor of the Smithsonian Institution. [ 1] He was highly regarded during his lifetime. While building electromagnets, Henry discovered the electromagnetic phenomenon of self- inductance. He also discovered mutual inductance independently of Michael Faraday, though Faraday was the first to make the discovery and publish his results. [ 2] [3] [4] Henry developed the electromagnet into a practical device. He invented a precursor to the electric doorbell (specifically a bell that could be rung at a distance via an electric wire, 1831) [5] and electric relay (1835). [ 6] The SI unit of inductance, the henry, is named in his honor. Henry's work on the electromagnetic relay was the basis of the practical electrical telegraph, invented by Samuel F. B. Morse and Sir Charles Wheatstone, separately."

"text": "\"Who was Michael Faraday? The Faraday Institute is named after Michael Faraday because he combined a deep religious faith with an outstanding scientific career, making him one of the best known of all British scientists, or natural philosophers as they were known in his era. At the same time Faraday was a very effective communicator of the latest findings in science in the public domain, an exemplar of how to cross inter-disciplinary boundaries. Early career Michael Faraday (1791-1867) discovered many of the fundamental laws of physics and chemistry, despite the fact that he had virtually no formal education. The son of an English blacksmith, he was apprenticed at the age of 14 to a bookseller and bookbinder. He read every book on science in the bookshop and attended lectures given at the Royal Institution by various natural philosophers, including Sir Humphry Davy, the discoverer of several chemical elements. In 1812, he applied to Davy for a job, citing his interest in science and showing Davy the extensive lecture notes he had taken. Davy hired Faraday to assist with his research and lecture demonstrations. Magnetism and chemistry Within a few years, Faraday began to do original research on his own, submitting two papers on chemistry to the Royal Society in 1820. In that same year, Oersted discovered that a current in a wire deflects a compass needle."

Main events600BC: Static electricity Thales, a Greek, found that when amber was rubbed with silk it attracted feathers and other light objects. He had discovered static electricity. The Greek word for amber is ëelectron', from which we get ëelectricity' and ëelectronics'.1600: William Gilbert invented the term electricity William Gilbert, scientist and physician to Queen Elizabeth I, invented the term electricity (from the Greek word for amber, elecktra). He was the first person to describe the earth's magnetic field and to realise that there is a relationship between magnetism and electricity.1705: Francis Hauksbee invented Neon Light Francis Hauksbee created electrical effects by putting some mercury into a glass globe, pumping out the air and then spinning it. When he did this in the dark, and then rubbed the globe with his bare hand, it glowed. ( He didn't realise it, but he had invented the neon light! ) 1752: Franklin proved that lightning is a form of electricity Benjamin Franklin, famous U.

He also studied the forces involved in these separations, inventing the new field of electrochemistry. In 1799 Davy experimented with nitrous oxide and became astonished that it made him laugh, so he nicknamed it \"\"laughing gas\"\", and wrote about its potential anaesthetic properties in relieving pain during surgery.

Davy's brother, John Davy, writes that the society of their hometown was characterised by \"\"an almost unbounded credulity respecting the supernatural and monstrous [...] Amongst the middle and higher classes, there was little taste for literature, and still less for science [...] Hunting, shooting, wrestling, cockfighting, generally ending in drunkenness, were what they most delighted in\"\". [ 5] At the age of six, Davy was sent to the grammar school at Penzance. Three years later, his family moved to Varfell, near Ludgvan, and subsequently, in term-time Davy boarded with John Tonkin, his godfather and later his guardian. ["

For other uses, see Electrification (disambiguation). Electrification is the process of powering by electricity and, in many contexts, the introduction of such power by changing over from an earlier power source. The broad meaning of the term, such as in the history of technology, economic history, and economic development, usually applies to a region or national economy. Broadly speaking, electrification was the build-out of the electricity generation and electric power distribution systems that occurred in Britain, the United States, and other now- developed countries from the mid-1880s until around 1950 and is still in progress in rural areas in some developing countries. This included the transition in manufacturing from line shaft and belt drive using steam engines and water power to electric motors. [ 1] [2]The electrification of particular sectors of the economy is called by terms such as factory electrification, household electrification, rural electrification or railway electrification. It may also apply to changing industrial processes such as smelting, melting, separating or refining from coal or coke heating, or chemical processes to some type of electric process such as electric arc furnace, electric induction or resistance heating, or electrolysis or electrolytic separating.

"text": "Inductance Inductance is a property of an electric circuit by which a changing magnetic field creates an electromotive force, or voltage, in that circuit or in a nearby circuit. Inductance is also defined as the property of an electric circuit that opposes any change in current. In 1831, Michael Faraday, an English scientist, discovered that a changing magnetic field in a circuit induced a current in a nearby circuit. Joseph Henry, an American scientist, independently made this discovery at about the same time. The generation of an electromotive force and current by a changing magnetic field is called electromagnetic induction. The operation of electric generators is based on the principal of inductance. Magnetic Field Lines In order to better understand inductance, it is helpful to have an understanding of magnetic field lines. All magnets are surrounded by a magnetic field, also called magnetic flux. A magnetic field can be thought of consisting of lines of force, or flux lines. The forces of magnetic attraction and repulsion move along the lines of force."

However, the autopsy report showed the 50-year-old singer was generally healthy for his age before he died of an overdose in June. He was not emaciated and weighed 136 pounds (62 kg), which was within the normal range for his height, and his heart was strong. His kidneys and other major organs were normal. According to the document his lung condition was not serious enough to be a direct or contributing cause of death.

"text": "Why Michael Jackson’s Skin Turned White as He Got Older September 3, 2014 Theodoros II 50 comments Scott L. asks: Is it true that Michael Jackson bleached his skin to turn himself white? Many scandals marred Michael Jackson’s personal life, overshadowing his otherwise remarkable musical career. One such scandal was the obvious change in his appearance, especially his skin color, which started from the mid-eighties to slowly but surely turn from dark to white. By the mid-nineties when Jackson released his album History (1995), it was more than obvious even to his most dedicated fans that the man of Thriller (1982) looked nothing like the man who had recently married Elvis Presley’s daughter, Lisa Marie. By this time, Michael Jackson was milky white; a skin-color transition that started almost a decade earlier was more or less complete. So what happened? According to his family and Jackson himself, the “King of Pop” had vitiligo, a condition that causes depigmentation of parts of the skin, which usually results in white spots on the patient’s body; these are even more noticeable if the person has a dark complexion as in Jackson’s case. The 1 in 250 or so people who have this condition typically first start seeing signs of it beginning between 10 and 30 years old. Approximately 30% of the people who have it also have it run in their family, which is true of Jackson. In addition to this skin disorder, Jackson also reportedly suffered from systemic lupus erythematosus, which besides potentially being a very serious condition can also cause loss of skin pigmentation."

This article is about the medical procedure. For other uses, see Autopsy (disambiguation). Autopsy The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp, by Rembrandt, depicts an autopsy. ICD-9-CM 89.8Me SH D001344 [ edit on Wikidata]An autopsy ( post-mortem examination, obduction, necropsy, or autopsia cadaverum) is a highly specialized surgical procedure that consists of a thorough examination of a corpse by dissection to determine the cause and manner of death or to evaluate any disease or injury that may be present for research or educational purposes. It is usually performed by a specialized medical doctor called a pathologist. In most cases, a medical examiner or coroner can determine cause of death and only a small portion of deaths require an autopsy. Autopsies are performed for either legal or medical purposes. For example, a forensic autopsy is carried out when the cause of death may be a criminal matter, while a clinical or academic autopsy is performed to find the medical cause of death and is used in cases of unknown or uncertain death, or for research purposes."

"text": "(Source: THOMAS SAMSON/AFP/Getty Images)TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami/NSF) – In one of his final letters to his mother, Justin Campos wrote that, although he was serving a life sentence for killing two members of the notorious Latin Kings gang, he had faith that God would protect him.” … Once you do everything humanly possible and have exhausted yourself, that’s when you pray and give God his room to work. … I feel good and am at peace,” Campos, whose prison nickname was “King Killer,” wrote to his mother Ada on Aug. 29. About a month later, Ada Campos received a telephone call from a Madison Correctional Institution chaplain telling her that Campos, 28, was dead. Nearly a year after she buried her son, Ada Campos is still fighting with the Department of Corrections to find out exactly what happened. She accuses prison officials of trying to cover up her son’s murder and failing to protect him although they knew he was the target of a gangland hit. Campos’s murder is not among nine inmate deaths being investigated by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, but critics say the way the Department of Corrections handled his killing illustrates an agency in chaos. “If inmates are dying because one inmate is killing another inmate, then that’s a failure to protect. It means they don’t have enough corrections officers and they’re not adequately supervising what’s going on in the prisons,” said Florida Justice Institute Executive Director Randall Berg. The Department of Corrections and Secretary Michael Crews have been under fire for weeks after the Miami Herald reported that Darren Rainey, a mentally ill inmate at Dade Correctional Institution, died after guards allegedly forced him to shower in scalding hot water as punishment two years ago."

"text": "\"\"\"Speaking of Vitiligo...\"\"Did Michael Jackson have vitiligo? Posted On: Sunday, January 17, 2016Posted By: John E. Harris Tags: Vitiligo, Vitiligo Treatment Believe it or not, among the most commonly searched terms with vitiligo on Google Search is Michael Jackson. That’s probably because he is the most famous person to have claimed to suffer from vitiligo, and the disease is rumored to be responsible for a number of his well-known quirks, like wearing a single white glove. But possibly the most controversial discussion about Michael Jackson is the fact that his skin seemed to get lighter over time, and he was accused of using a bleaching treatment on his skin. That, combined with multiple plastic surgeries that changed a number of his features (nose, chin, etc), suggested that he wanted to look less like himself, and more like someone else – some have said he “wanted to look white”. The discussion is complicated, as was his life, but I think there are a few things that I can clear up in this post. Michael Jackson was undoubtedly an incredibly talented performer, maybe one of the best in history. I remember seeing his music video Thriller, and being utterly amazed at just how innovative he was, not to mention a great singer, songwriter, and dancer. His fame began as a young child (6 years old) when he sang with his brothers in the Jackson Five, and so he spent almost his entire life in the public eye. That is not easy for anyone, but imagine him as a young man, maybe the most famous person on earth, when white spots started to appear on his skin, including his hands and face."

Starting in the mid-1980s, it became clear that Jackson's appearance was changing dramatically. The shape of his face, particularly his nose, triggered widespread speculation of extensive cosmetic surgery. [ 1] [2] His skin tone became much lighter. Although Jackson was diagnosed with the skin disorder vitiligo, which results in white patches on the skin, and said that he had not purposely bleached his skin but had used makeup to even out his skin tone, [3] it was widely suggested that his lighter skin tone was partly due to skin bleaching. [ 1] [2] [4]Jackson and some of his siblings said they had been physically and psychologically abused by their father, Joseph Jackson. In 2003, Joseph admitted to whipping them as children, but has emphatically rejected the longstanding abuse allegations. [ 5] [6] The whippings deeply traumatized Jackson and may have led to the onset of further health issues later in his life. Physicians speculated that he had body dysmorphic disorder. [ 7]At some point during the 1990s, it appeared that Jackson had become dependent on prescription drugs, mainly painkillers and strong sedatives."

Then she loaded all his make-up, eyeliner, lipstick, creams and gels into a box. ' My job was to hide all the bottles of women's perfumes.

Shortly after 2 p.m. August 16, 1977 Ginger Alden, awaking from a long day’s sleep, walked into the bathroom adjoining the palatial master bedroom of Graceland and discovered that Elvis Presley was dead at 42. It was a seismic event and a national tragedy. To cope with it, to capitalize on it, in some cases as if to deny it, his former retinue and his most fanatic fans have pored over his effects hungrily for relics and talismans, turning his death into a macabre sideshow. Kidnappers have tried to steal his body from its grave. Fortunes have been made in retrospective schlock and dime-store Presleyana. Dozens of relatives and “friends” have published increasingly lurid accounts of his life. One old retainer, security chief Dick Grob, recently tried to sell a book outline retailing the theory that Elvis was dying of cancer; now, reportedly, Grob says he made it up. Someone, presumably a vengeful fan, fired a shot at Elvis’ physician, Dr. George Nichopoulos, at a football game last year. One ghoul has tried to sell the vial in which Elvis’ last drug prescription was packaged."

On May 9, 1991, he appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson to speak of his cancer and to publicly condemn the tabloid press for their sensational headlines and inaccurate stories, including the claim that he and his wife were trying to have another child. During Landon's appearance, he pledged to fight the cancer and asked fans to pray for him. In June 1991, Landon made the cover of Life Magazine, after granting the periodical an exclusive private interview about his life, his family, and his struggle to live. However, nearly 2 months later on July 1, 1991, Landon died in Malibu, California. He was 54 years-old. Landon was interred in Culver City's Hillside Memorial Park Cemetery and his family was joined by 500 other mourners including former President Ronald Reagan (with whom Michael had once chopped wood) and his wife Nancy.

"text": "\"Little House on the Prairie BY Kara Kovalchik January 13, 2009When the Bonanza left the airwaves after 14 successful years, Michael \"\"Little Joe\"\" Landon went looking for a new project. NBC execs approached him with the idea of producing a made-for-TV film based on the popular Laura Ingalls Wilder book series Little House on the Prairie. The movie had been a huge ratings hit, and since it had a sort-of cliffhanger ending, the network was deluged with viewer inquiries asking \"\"What happened next to the Ingalls family?\"\" Thus a series was born. And while the premise of the show was definitely Waltons-level wholesomeness, our mission this week is to go behind the scenes and dish the less-than-vanilla Prairie dirt.1. Little Hair on the Prairie The secrets of hair start with Michael Landon, who had gone prematurely grey when he was 20-something during his Bonanza days. If you're wondering how he got that wonderful color, look no further than Clairol Medium Ash Brown- the key to his crowning glory. As for the trademark blonde curls that Alison Arngrim sported as mean girl Nellie Oleson, those were actually part of a wig that was fastened to her scalp so tightly that it often caused it to bleed. Melissa Gilbert also had fake hair to deal with, and was forced to wear girlish braids well after adolescence had added its telltale signs to her body. In fact, she was also forced to bind her chest until the plot line allowed her to \"\"grow up\"\" and become Walnut Grove's premier school teacher."

Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise. ( February 2018) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)In Beaufort, North Carolina, popular and rebellious teenager Landon Carter and his friends have been found of underage drinking on school grounds and seriously injuring another student during a prank gone wrong. The principal gives Landon the choice of being expelled or atoning for his actions by tutoring fellow students and participating in the school play. Choosing and doing the latter, Landon notices Jamie Sullivan, who he has known since kindergarten and is the local minister's daughter. He has seldom paid any attention to her, as she is labeled as an outsider and a geek because of her interest in astronomy. Landon has trouble learning his lines for the play, so Jamie, who is also in the play, agrees to help him on one condition: for him to not fall in love with her, and he laughs it off and dismisses it as a foolish idea."

But I have to admit that, as a young teenager, I had something of a crush on Little Joe! Who could resist his character with that handsome smile and beautiful pinto horse? Little Joe and his paint horse were definitely the flashiest combo of the Cartwright clan!To help put you back in a \"\"Bonanza\"\" mood, click on the center button in the video box below to hear that great theme and see some good pictures of the whole clan!Background of the Show The Bonanza tv show was set in the time during and after the Civil War, and was all about the Cartwright family which included the father, Ben, and his 3 sons Adam, Hoss, and Little Joe. Did you ever wonder why those 3 brothers didn't look anything alike? That's right! Each one had a different mother and none of those women had survived! Wow; Ben had his share of bad luck in that department! Not wanting to mess up a successful formula, the show stayed consistent with that theme - any love interest that developed for a Cartwright man didn't last any longer than a cold drink on a hot day!Here's a little bit about the Bonanza cast -Ben (played by Lorne Greene) was the owner of the very large (1,000 square miles) and very prosperous Ponderosa Ranch, which was situated around Lake Tahoe in Nevada. Adam (played be Pernell Roberts) was the oldest son."

He was 54 years old. He died of cancer of the liver and pancreas, said a spokeswoman for Jay Eller, his lawyer. Mr. Landon announced his medical condition on April 5, telling reporters: \"\"I am going to fight it. Live every minute, guys. \"\" At that news conference, Mr. Landon said he would be starting chemotherapy and would have to cancel a forthcoming television series, \"\"Us,\"\" in which he was to portray a traveling columnist. Mr. Landon's battle against cancer became highly public. He appeared on the \"\"Tonight\"\" show to discuss his condition and also gave other interviews.

But the snow wasn’t lily white. It was carnation pink. “I loved strawberry-flavored milk,” she explained in a recent interview, “but we were really not allowed to drink it at home. To my delight, my dad had covered the entire backyard in (Nestlé) strawberry Quik.

"text": "Mark Goodman July 15, 1991 12:00 PMTO COUNTLESS TELEVISION VIEWERS OVER THE LAST THREE decades, Michael Landon was the shaggy-haired, ruggedly boyish personification of heartland pieties. As Little Joe Cartwright ( Bonanza) and Charles Ingalls ( Little House on the Prairie ), he radiated the warmth of home, hearth and old-fashioned American neighborliness, as well as a sense of bulldog perseverance against all calamities, natural and man-made. As Jonathan Smith, the angel sublimely aware of earthly troubles in Highway to Heaven, he traced a path toward a community of the human spirit. Moreover, as a writer, director and producer, he became a phenomenally successful entertainment force, one of the few actors to grab the reins of his own career and harness it to his personal vision. Offscreen Landon represented rougher facets of the American dream. The warmth and sense of familial loyalty were there, to be sure. He fathered six children and adopted three more and clung fiercely to family rhythms—perhaps, in part, because he was the classic unhappy child who determined to make, by sheer force of will, the largest possible imprint upon a hostile world. And so when it was announced on April 8 that Landon, 54, had fallen victim to pancreatic cancer, a stunned public watched in solemn awe as he turned to make the stand of his life. “ If I’m gonna die,” he told LIFE magazine three weeks after his diagnosis, “death’s gonna have to do a lot of fighting to get me.” It was indeed a hard fight but Landon lost, of course, in a final, painful scene that he wished only his wife to share."

"text": "Michelangelo • Paintings • The Sistine Chapel The Sistine Chapel Ceiling In 1508, Michelangelo was summoned to Rome by Pope Julius II. He first thought that he would only be working on the pope’s tomb, but was also given the job of painting figures of the twelve apostlesagainst a starry sky on the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Michelangelo had been given this job through a recommendation from Donato Bramante, then the chief architect of St Peter’s Basilica. Bramante hoped that by suggesting a sculptor to paint a fresco, Michelangelo would present “less creditable work than Raphael of Urbino, to whom, out of hatred for Michelangelo, they gave every support. ”Originally, since he considered himself a sculptor rather than a painter, Michelangelo attempted to turn down the job, but was unsuccessful. Since he now had no choice, he lobbied for a far more complex design. As a result, upon completion, the ceiling contained over 300 figures, as opposed to just the twelve apostles as was originally intended. In May of 1508, Michelangelo began making plans for the layout of the ceiling, though he did not begin painting until the fall. Recognizing the scale of this enormous undertaking, he called on a number of laborers and assistants to aid him. However, dissatisfied with the quality of their work, he fired everyone that he had recruited and removed what they had painted, beginning the whole work anew on his own."

"text": "\"By Melanie Renzulli Updated 12/12/17Share Pin Email•••Some of the most famous works by Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarotti are located in Rome and the Vatican City. Famous masterpieces, such as the frescoes on the Sistine Chapel, can be found in the Italian capital as can other fantastic sculptures and architectural designs. Here is a list of Michelangelo's great works – and where to find them – in Rome and the Vatican City. Sistine Chapel Frescoes In order to see the incredible frescoes that Michelangelo painted on the ceiling and altar wall of the Sistine Chapel, one must pay a visit to the Vatican Museums (Musei Vaticani) in Vatican City. Michelangelo painstakingly worked on these incredible images of scenes from the Old Testament and The Last Judgment from 1508-1512. The Sistine Chapel is the highlight of the Vatican Museums and it is located at the end of the tour. The PietàThis famous sculpture of the Virgin Mary holding her dying son in her arms is one of Michelangelo's most tender and refined works and it is located in Saint Peter's Basilica in Vatican City.

It's the last stop on the Vatican Museum tour and is the most ardently awaited moment for the millions of tourists from around the world that come here every year to admire it. Step into the Sistine Chapel and the magic completely envelops you because literally everything in this place is priceless and rich in history, from the pavement to the amazing frescoed ceiling by Michelangelo. From the outside, the Chapel gives an entirely different impression: its imposing defensive structure is almost fearsome with its powerful walls and menacing ramparts. It's like an ancient strongbox guarding a treasure: powerful and massive outside, rich in extraordinary and unimaginably precious masterpieces inside. The creative force behind all this fame and beauty is the unsurpassed genius of Michelangelo and the most amazing thing is that he managed to complete this artistic miracle all by himself!Normally, the artists of the time completed their artwork with the help of assistants. The master personally worked on only certain parts of the piece while the apprentices finished off the minor details. This wasn't the case with the Sistine Chapel: incredibly, all this beauty is the work of one single human being. The Sistine Chapel takes its name from the pope that commissioned it, Pope Sixtus IV of the Della Rovere family. It's hard to believe, but, that which would later become one of the most famous religious sites in the world should have a totally prosaic beginning."

Topography The present Church of St. Peter stands upon the site where at the beginning of the first century the gardens of Agrippina lay. Her son, Caius Caligula, built a circus there, in the spina of which he erected the celebrated obelisk without hieroglyphics which was brought from Heliopolis and now stands in the Piazza di S. Pietro. The Emperor Nero was especially fond of this circus and arranged many spectacles in it, among which the martyrdoms of the Christians (Tacitus, \"\"Annal. \"\", XV, 44) obtained a dreadful notoriety. The exact spot in the circus of the crucifixion of St. Peter was preserved by tradition through out the centuries, and in the present Church of St. Peter is marked by an altar. Directly past the circus of Nero ran the Via Cornelia which, like all Roman highways, was bordered with sepulchral monuments. In Christian times a small city of churches and hospices gradually arose here, but without this part of Rome being included in the city limits. When in the year 847 the Saracens pillaged the Basilica of St. Peter and all the sanctuaries and establishments there, Leo IV decided to surround the extensive suburb with a wall, interrupted at intervals by exceedingly strong and well-fortified towers. Two of these towers, as well as a fragment of the wall, are still preserved in the Vatican gardens and afford an interesting picture of the manner of fortification."

Because of this, the centuries have handed down to us an image of Michelangelo lying on his back, wiping sweat and plaster from his eyes as he toiled away year after year, suspended hundreds of feet in the air, begrudgingly completing a commission that he never wanted to accept in the first place. Fortunately for Michelangelo, this is probably not true. But that does nothing to lessen the fact that the frescoes, which take up the entirety of the vault, are among the most important paintings in the world. For Pope Julius IIReconstruction of the Sistine Chapel prior to Michelangelo's frescoes (photo: public domain) Michelangelo began to work on the frescoes for Pope Julius II in 1508, replacing a blue ceiling dotted with stars. Originally, the pope asked Michelangelo to paint the ceiling with a geometric ornament, and place the twelve apostles in spandrels around the decoration. Michelangelo proposed instead to paint the Old Testament scenes now found on the vault, divided by the fictive architecture that he uses to organize the composition. Diagram of the subjects of the Sistine Chapel* The subject of the frescoes The narrative begins at the altar and is divided into three sections. In the first three paintings, Michelangelo tells the story of The Creation of the Heavens and Earth; this is followed by The Creation of Adam and Eve and the Expulsion from the Garden of Eden; finally is the story of Noah and the Great Flood. Ignudi, or nude youths, sit in fictive architecture around these frescoes, and they are accompanied by prophets and sibyls (ancient seers who, according to tradition, foretold the coming of Christ) in the spandrels."

Early life Michelangelo Buonarroti was born on March 6, 1475, in Caprese, Italy, a village where his father, Lodovico Buonarroti, was briefly serving as a Florentine government agent. The family moved back to Florence before Michelangelo was one month old. Michelangelo's mother died when he was six. From his childhood Michelangelo was drawn to the arts, but his father considered this pursuit below the family's social status and tried to discourage him. However, Michelangelo prevailed and was apprenticed (worked to learn a trade) at the age of thirteen to Domenico Ghirlandaio (1449–1494), the most fashionable painter in Florence at the time. After a year Michelangelo's apprenticeship was broken off. The boy was given access to the collection of ancient Roman sculpture of the ruler of Florence, Lorenzo de' Medici (1449–1492). He dined with the family and was looked after by the retired sculptor who was in charge of the collection. This arrangement was quite unusual at the time."

He is widely considered the greatest sculptor in the west and though he had low opinion of painting, his frescos on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and The Last Judgement on its altar wall guarantee him a place among the greatest painters. Michelangelo was also among the best architects of his time. Here are 10 most famous works of perhaps the greatest artist of all time.#10 Doni Tondo Type: Panel Painting Year: 1507Doni Tondo (1506)During the early 1500s, Michelangelo was commissioned by Angelo Doni to paint a “Holy Family” as a present for his wife, Maddalena Strozzi. Michelangelo used the form of a tondo, or round frame, for the painting. Doni Tondo features the Christian Holy family (the child Jesus, Mary, and Saint Joseph) along with John the Baptist in the foreground and contains five ambiguous nude male figures in the background. It is the only finished panel painting by the mature Michelangelo to survive.#9 Bacchus Type: Marble Statue Year: 1497Bacchus (1497)Completed by Michelangelo by the age of 22, this famous work depicts the Roman god of wine Bacchus holding a goblet of wine in his right hand and in his left the skin of a tiger, an animal associated with the god. Sitting behind him is a faun, who eats the bunch of grapes slipping out of Bacchus’s left hand. Along with Pietà, Bacchus is one of only two surviving sculptures from the Michelangelo’s first period in Rome.#8 Madonna of Bruges Type: Marble Statue Year: 1504Madonna of Bruges (1504)The Madonna of Bruges, which depicts Mary with the infant Jesus, was unlike other depictions of the same subject by other artists which tended to feature a pious Virgin smiling down on Jesus. Also known as Madonna and Child, and Bruges Madonna; the sculpture shows a somewhat detached Mary which looks away as if she knows her son’s future while the infant Jesus is mostly unsupported and appears to be stepping away from his mother and into the world.#7 Laurentian Library Type: Architecture Year: 1559Staircase of the Laurentian Library designed by Michelangelo In 1524, Michelangelo was commissioned by the Medici pope to design the library for the San Lorenzo’s Church in Florence, Italy."

The classical tradition of ancient Greece and Rome has been an ever-present element in Italian art throughout its history. Its two greatest and most influential periods—Renaissance and Baroque—relied heavily on the style and ideals of classical art. For centuries, artists have traveled to Italy to study both monuments from Roman times and the work of the great Italian masters of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Artists visiting Italy also enjoyed painting and drawing the picturesque countryside and cities bathed in brilliant Mediterranean sunlight. Some artists specialized in Italianate subjects. Before its unification in 1871, Italy was made up of many small independent city-states. The most powerful were Venice, Florence, Naples, and the Papal States centered in Rome.

Raphael is best known for his Madonnas and for his large figure compositions in the Vatican in Rome. His work is admired for its clarity of form and ease of composition and for its visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur. Early years at Urbino Raphael was the son of Giovanni Santi and Magia di Battista Ciarla; his mother died in 1491. His father was, according to the 16th-century artist and biographer Giorgio Vasari, a painter \"\"of no great merit.\"\" He was, however, a man of culture who was in constant contact with the advanced artistic ideas current at the court of Urbino. He gave his son his first instruction in painting, and, before his death in 1494, when Raphael was 11, he had introduced the boy to humanistic philosophy at the court. Urbino had become a centre of culture during the rule of Duke Federico da Montefeltro, who encouraged the arts and attracted the visits of men of outstanding talent, including Donato Bramante, Piero della Francesca, and Leon Battista Alberti, to his court. Although Raphael would be influenced by major artists in Florence and Rome, Urbino constituted the basis for all his subsequent learning. Furthermore, the cultural vitality of the city probably stimulated the exceptional precociousness of the young artist, who, even at the beginning of the 16th century, when he was scarcely 17 years old, already displayed an extraordinary talent."

A master of both painting and sculpting, he was also an architect, engineer and poet. His abilities as a painter and sculptor were unsurpassed in his day. While many artists studied under him and assisted him with the painting of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican, none equaled him as an artist. At the young age of 17, Michelangelo began dissected corpses at the local church graveyard to gain a deeper understanding of the human body 1. Examining corpses was strictly banned by the church so Michelangelo's activities were illegal, nevertheless the understanding he had of the human body and its proportions were critical to his success as a sculptor and artist. Michelangelo's incredibly realistic sculptures depicted finely chiseled veins,wrinkles, muscles, bones and nerves. Such skill was and is still unsurpassed in the 21st century. Michelangelo's life-like sculptures and painting were widely influential to renaissance artists, His art was copied and imitated by many artists and eventually developed into its own art movement called Mannerism 2."

"text": "Michelangelo, his Paintings, and Sculptures Michelangelo was without doubt one of the most inspirational and talented artists in modern history. During his life, the western world underwent what was perhaps the most remarkable period of change since the decline of the Roman Empire. The Renaissance saw changes in all aspects of life and culture, with dramatic reforms sweeping through the worlds of religion, politics, and scientific belief. Michelangelo was one of the most fervent advocates of this exciting new philosophy, working with a remarkable energy that was mirrored by contemporary society. One of the leading lights of the Italian Renaissance, his extraordinary talents emerged in early works such as the Pieta for the Vatican, and the statue of David commissioned for the city of Florence. His paintings and frescoes were largely taken from mythological and classical sources works. He manage to combine his high level of technical competence and his rich artistic imagination to produce the perfect High-Renaissance blend of aesthetic harmony and anatomical accuracy in his works. Michelangelo was born on March 6, 1475 in Caprese near Arezzo, Tuscany. He was the first artist who was recognized during his life time. He is also the first western artist whose biography was published when he is still alive."

David, by Michelangelo ( The Accademia Gallery, Florence) is an example of high Renaissance art The Renaissance ( Italian: Rinascimento, French: Renaissance, from ri- \"\"again\"\" and nascere \"\"be born\"\") is a cultural movement that spanned roughly the 14th to the 17th century, beginning in Florence in the Late Middle Ages and later spreading to the rest of Europe. The term is also used more loosely to refer to the historic era, but since the changes of the Renaissance were not uniform across Europe, this is a general use of the term. As a cultural movement, it encompassed a resurgence of learning based on classical sources, the development of linear perspective in painting, and gradual but widespread educational reform. Traditionally, this intellectual transformation has resulted in the Renaissance being viewed as a bridge between the Middle Ages and the Modern era. Although the Renaissance saw revolutions in many intellectual pursuits, as well as social and political upheaval, it is perhaps best known for its artistic developments and the contributions of such polymaths as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, who inspired the term \"\" Renaissance man\"\". There is a general, but not unchallenged, consensus that the Renaissance began in Florence, Tuscany in the 14th century. Various theories have been proposed to account for its origins and characteristics, focusing on a variety of factors including the social and civic peculiarities of Florence at the time; its political structure; the patronage of its dominant family, the Medici; and the migration of Greek scholars and texts to Italy following the Fall of Constantinople at the hands of the Ottoman Turks. The Renaissance has a long and complex historiography, and there has been much debate among historians as to the usefulness of Renaissance as a term and as a historical delineation."

We’ve created a time line below to highlight the important dates and periods of his life to give you a better sense of all he did and created.6 MARZO 1475 – CAPRESE MICHELANGELO (AREZZO) Painter, sculptor, architect and poet Michelangelo, one of the most famous artists of the Italian Renaissance, was born in Tuscany on March 6, 1475, in Caprese, a little village close to Arezzo. Michelangelo’s father, Lodovico, was briefly serving as a magistrate in the small village when he recorded the birth of his second of five sons with his wife, Francesca Neri. They returned to Florence when Michelangelo was still an infant, and he was placed with a family of stonecutters, where he later reported: “ I sucked in chisels and hammers with my nurse’s milk .”1487 – FLORENCE Michelangelo is introduced to the painter Domenico Ghirlandaio. Michelangelo’s father in fact, realized early that his son had no interest in the family business, so agreed to apprentice him, at the age of 13, to the well-known Florentine painter’s workshop. There, Michelangelo learns the technique of fresco and panel painting for a few months. He is supposed to stay there for about three years, but an extraordinary opportunity opens to him. At the recommendation of Ghirlandaio, he moves into the palace of Florentine ruler Lorenzo the Magnificent, of the powerful Medici family, to study classical sculpture in the Medici gardens.1488 – 1492 FLORENCE This is a fertile time for Michelangelo; his years with the Medici family, permit him access to the social elite of Florence, allowing him to study under the respected sculptor Bertoldo di Giovanni, Donatello’s pupil, and exposing him to prominent poets, scholars and Humanists. Two early relief sculptures survive from those years: “ Battle of the Centaurs ” and “ Madonna Seated on a Step ,” now exhibited at casa Buonarroti in Florence.1493 – FLORENCE Piero de’ Medici introduces Michelangelo to the Augustinian friars of the Church of Saint Spirit in Florence, who hosted the young talent within their convent. He obtained a special permission to study cadavers for insight into anatomy, though exposure to corpses had an adverse effect on his health."

Renaissance art, perceived as the noblest of ancient traditions, took as its foundation the art of Classical antiquity, but transformed that tradition by absorbing recent developments in the art of Northern Europe and by applying contemporary scientific knowledge. Renaissance art, with Renaissance Humanist philosophy, spread throughout Europe, affecting both artists and their patrons with the development of new techniques and new artistic sensibilities.

The painters of Renaissance Italy, although often attached to particular courts and with loyalties to particular towns, nonetheless wandered the length and breadth of Italy, often occupying a diplomatic status and disseminating artistic and philosophical ideas. [ 1]The city of Florence in Tuscany is renowned as the birthplace of the Renaissance, and in particular of Renaissance painting. A detailed background is given in the companion articles Renaissance and Renaissance architecture. Italian Renaissance painting can be divided into four periods: the Proto-Renaissance (1300–1400), the Early Renaissance (1400–1475), the High Renaissance (1475–1525), and Mannerism (1525–1600). These dates are approximations rather than specific points because the lives of individual artists and their personal styles overlapped the different periods. The Proto-Renaissance begins with the professional life of the painter Giotto and includes Taddeo Gaddi, Orcagna and Altichiero. The Early Renaissance was marked by the work of Masaccio, Fra Angelico, Paolo Uccello, Piero della Francesca and Verrocchio. The High Renaissance period was that of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael and Titian. The Mannerist period included Andrea del Sarto, Pontormo and Tintoretto."

The Buonarroti Simoni were an old and pure Florentine stock of the Guelf faction: in the days of Michelangelo's fame a connection of the family with the counts of Canossa was imagined and admitted on both sides, but has no foundation in fact. Ludovico was barely able to live on the income of his estate, but made it his boast that he had never stooped to add to it by mercantile or mechanical pursuits. The favor of the Medici procured him temporary employment in minor offices of state, among them that of podestà or resident magistrate for six months, from the autumn of 1474, at Castello di Chiusi and Caprese in the Casentino. At Caprese, on the 6th of March 1475, his second son Michelagniolo or Michelangelo was born. Immediately afterwards the family returned to Florence, and the child was put to nurse with a marble-worker's wife of Settignano. His mother's health had already, it would seem, begun to fail; at all events in a few years from this time, after she had borne her husband three more sons, she died. While still a young boy Michelangelo determined, in spite of his father's opposition, to be an artist. He had sucked in the passion, as he himself used to say, with his foster-mother's milk. After a sharp struggle his stubborn will overcome his father's pride of gentility, and at thirteen he got himself articled as a paid assistant in the workshop of the brothers Ghirlandaio."

This piece, known as The Gates of Hell, is based on the 16th century epic poem, The Divine Comedy by Dante. Many of Rodin's most famous works came out of this piece and The Thinker was originally intended to sit at the top of the door way and represent Dante, as he composed the poem. For this reason The Thinker was originally known as The Poet but as this piece began to gain precedence over The Gates of Hell, it became known as The Thinker and is today a commonly recognized symbol of philosophy and learning. During its use as a public monument in Paris from 1906 onwards, The Thinker became known as a symbol of the socialist movement in France during a time of political and social turmoil. The Thinker Inspirations Dante holding his poem, The Divine Comedy Dying Slave Michelangelo There are several inspirations which influenced Rodin's creation of The Thinker. The foremost must be the work of Dante, the poet whom the figure was originally supposed to represent. Stylistically the sculpture resembles the heroes of Michelangelo and the nude young men whom Rodin felt best to represent in a romantic and creative light. Dante Alighieri: Dante Alighieri wrote his epic poem The Divine Comedy between 1308 and 1321 and since its publication the literary work has served as inspiration for countless arts, writers and sculptors. The Divine Comedy follows a dream in which the author enters the after-life."

(WPRI) — Prosecutors say a Massachusetts teen “wantonly and recklessly” assisted her friend in taking his own life last July – and new court documents are shedding light on how she allegedly encouraged him to commit suicide. UPDATE: Teen’s lawyer argues manslaughter charge should be dropped READ MORE: Continuing Coverage of Michelle Carter Case Michelle Carter, now 18, is charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of 18-year-old Conrad Roy III. He died of carbon monoxide poisoning last July and was found in his truck behind a Fairhaven K-Mart, police said. Newly-released text messages – obtained by Eyewitness News – prove that Carter caused Conrad’s death, according to prosecutors. Prosecutors say Carter, who was 17 at the time of Conrad’s death, first counseled him to overcome his doubts – telling him he would be happier once he was dead and that his parents would not suffer. Full PDF: Read the text messages »Courtesy: The Sun Chronicle The documents detail the text message conversation between Carter and Conrad, in which she says: “I love you to the moon and back and deeper that the ocean and higher than the pines, too, babe forever and always. It’s painless and quick,” referring to carbon monoxide poisoning. She then writes: “You said your mom saw a suicide thing on your computer and she didn’t say anything. I think she knows it’s on your mind and she’s prepared for it. Everyone will be sad for a while but they will get over it and move on."

"text": "February 28, 2015Conrad Roy Suicide: Did Michelle Carter Encourage Teen To Take His Own Life? News Addam CorréFollowing the tragic suicide of 18-year-old Conrad Roy III, who died from carbon monoxide poisoning last summer, his friend, Michelle Carter, has now been accused by police of urging him to “get back in” his truck when he had second thoughts about taking his life. Carter, 18, has now been charged with involuntary manslaughter for the death of Conrad Roy III, from Mattapoisett, who committed suicide in a parking lot in July 2014. After having been called to the scene last summer, the police searched the teens’ phones as part of their investigation into Roy’s death and say they found a text message from Carter to Roy hours before his death, which read, “Let me know when you’re gonna do it. ”According to police, Carter knew of her friend’s plan to commit suicide and allegedly not only “encouraged Conrad to take his own life, but she questioned him repeatedly as to when and why he hadn’t done it yet,” according to the report. Nevertheless, according to the accused’s attorney, Joe Cataldo, the charges against his client were absurd, and Carter was reportedly “shocked” at the allegations against her. “It was his voluntary decision to end his life,” he said. “ His death was not caused by Michelle Carter. ”For Roy’s family, the whole affair has been a tragic one, although his grandfather, Conrad Roy, said on Friday that he holds Carter fully responsible for the suicide. “She told him to get back in the truck,” he said. “"

Though Michelle Obama certainly has the knack for getting it right in the fashion stakes, she may want to cast her eye over some of the inauguration dresses chosen by First Ladies gone by. The Smithsonian Museum of American History in Washington D. C. has a collection of the First Ladies choices going back 100 years, from Helen Taft to the present day. Donation: Helen Herron Taft, pictured right at her husband's 1909 inauguration was the first First Lady to donate her gown to the Smithsonian Museum of American History. Elegant: Eleanor Roosevelt chose this simple floor length number for the 1933 inauguration ball Rhinestones: Mamie Eisenhower wore a pink full-skirted dress to her husband's inauguration in 1953. The dress was covered in hundreds of rhinestones The dresses show how different styles appealed in different eras. Grace Coolidge wore a rare short dress to the occasion while Hillary Clinton's violet, jewel-encrusted dress worn to the 1993 inauguration is one of the most elaborate and traditional ball-gowns on show. The tradition of donating an inauguration gown to the museum began with First Lady Helen Taft who donated her white silk chiffon dress by the Frances Smith Company from her husband's 1909 inauguration.

Becki Maki, whose nephew Conrad Roy III died on July 13, 2014, has told the Boston Herald it is disturbing to see images on social media of Michelle Carter, 18, carrying on with life ahead of a pending involuntary manslaughter case. “He’ll never see his sisters go to prom, and to see her awaiting her manslaughter trial on a trip to Disney World with her friends, going to school competitions and going off to prom — it just seems like she doesn’t understand the gravity of the actions that have led to the case against her,” Ms Maki says.

(Peter Pereira/The New Bedford Standard Times via AP)The controversial case against Michelle Carter can go ahead, a judge ruled Wednesday. Carter, 18, is facing involuntary manslaughter charges in a Massachusetts juvenile court over the suicide of her boyfriend. According to prosecutors, Carter relentlessly pressured Conrad Roy III to kill himself in the days before his July 12, 2014, death. She allegedly calmed his fears; helped him research suicide methods; cajoled him to go through with his plans when he got cold feet and lied to police, family and friends in order to enable the 18-year-old’s final act. “When are you doing it?” she asked repeatedly in text messages. “ You better not be bullsh—ing me and saying you gonna do this and then purposely get caught. ”“You always say you’re gonna do it, but you never do,” Carter complained in one of the more than 1,000 texts the two teens shared. She was tired of his “excuses,” she said several times. “ I just want to make sure tonight is the real thing."

The witch hunts never end.” Peter Gøtzsche, MD, Danish physician, researcher, and author In the previous report in this Michelle Carter blog series, I examined the basis of the DA’s case that Michelle killed Conrad Roy by texting. The entire case rested on proving beyond a reasonable doubt that seventeen-year-old Michelle told Conrad Roy to get back into his fume-filled truck in order to finish his suicide attempt, and that Conrad immediately obeyed and died as a direct result. The DA charged Michelle with murdering Conrad with words that most people assumed were written down, recorded, or otherwise physically documented at the time Conrad died. There never has been any physical evidence for what, if anything, transpired between Michelle and Conrad shortly before his death. Instead, the DA based its entire case on a fragment of a longer text that Michelle sent to a friend more than two months after Conrad’s death!When Michelle sent the infamous text to her girlfriend, two months had gone by since Conrad’s death."

During the Agent Carter finale, Johann Fennhoff, aka Dr. Faustus (Ralph Brown), intended to make Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper) pay for his sins of creating Midnight Oil—the gas that essentially causes people to rage out and kill each other—by tricking Stark into believing he had found Captain America’s (Chris Evans) body. Instead of flying a plane to the Arctic, however, under Fennhoff’s mind control, Stark was inadvertently flying towards Times Square in a plane loaded with the toxic gas. In a scene recalling the heartbreaking final act of Captain America: The First Avenger, Peggy (Hayley Atwell) was able to talk Stark down moments after facing off against Black Widow Dottie (Bridget Regan), who ended up escaping in the ensuing chaos. Dr. Faustus, meanwhile, was finally locked up with his new cellmate, Dr. Arnim Zola (Toby Jones)—more on that surprise Captain America cameo here. All was right in the world as Peggy was lauded at the SSR… until Agent Thompson (Chad Michael Murray) claimed the victory for himself. You win some, you lose some. But Peggy did get to say goodbye to Steve Rogers one final time after Jarvis (James D’Arcy) handed over the only remaining vial of his blood, which she fittingly poured out over the Brooklyn Bridge. What does this ending mean for Agent Carter ’s future? EW caught up with showrunners Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas to get the scoop: ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Why was it important for Peggy to finally get the recognition she deserves at the SSR?"

"text": "A Massachusetts teenager was facing a charge of involuntary manslaughter after allegedly encouraging her boyfriend to kill himself. Conrad Roy, 18, died of carbon monoxide poisoning while sitting in his truck behind a K-Mart last summer in Fairhaven, according to Boston TV station WBZ-TV. Roy’s cell phone was found next to his body and showed he had been text messaging with his girlfriend Michelle Carter right up until his death, the station reported. Investigators told the station that at one point Roy started to back out of the suicide, saying he did not want to leave his family and got out of the truck. Carter texted Roy to “get back in,” according to court documents released to the station. The 18-year-old Carter was indicted earlier this month after authorities concluded she “strongly influenced” Roy’s actions the day he died. “It is alleged that Ms. Carter had firsthand knowledge of Roy’s suicidal thoughts,” the district attorney’s office told the station. “ Instead of attempting to assist him or notify his family or school officials, Ms. Carter is alleged to have strongly influenced his decision to take his own life, encouraged him to commit suicide and guided him in his engagement of activities which led to his death. ”Family members told WBZ that Roy had been depressed and could be influenced by others. “He was in a fragile state."

His family will hate me and I can go to jail,” Carter texted a friend after her 18-year-old boyfriend used a gas-powered water pump to commit suicide in the parking lot of a K-Mart. Carter had asked Roy in a text message to delete her messages before he carried out the suicide last summer, but investigators found them anyway. According to prosecutors, Carter pressured her boyfriend to go through with suicide for almost a week before he carried out the act. She counseled him to overcome his fears; researched methods of committing suicide painlessly; and lied to police, his family and her friends about his whereabouts during the act itself and after, prosecutors said. Carter, who was 17 at the time of Roy’s death, now faces manslaughter charges in juvenile court in Massachusetts. Her attorney argues, however, that the charges should be dropped because Carter’s messages are protected by free speech. According to attorney Joseph P.

' For everyone that does not know our daughter, she is not the villain the media is portraying her to be. She is a quiet, kind, and sympathetic young girl. She tried immensely to help Mr Roy in his battle with depression. We know that once all of the facts are released, our daughter will be found innocent. '"

( Carter joined the show in September and has been interim exec producer since her predecessor Bill Wolff left. ) She has her work cut out for her. The show saw a steep ratings drop in 2013, leading to multiple seasons of host musical chairs and much hand-wringing about the divisive nature of the show’s political discussions. This season, the show’s 19th, The View seems to have arrested the ratings slide, if it’s still a ways from its high-water mark.

"text": "\"Written by Sheila Johnson Related Articles1External Factors That Produce Mutations in DNA2What Enzymes Does Mercury Inhibit?3Four Ways to Insert Foreign DNA Into Cells4What Is the Function of the Matrix in the Mitochondria? From the time DNA was first identified as a distinct molecule within cells, our understanding of DNA has grown as members of the scientific community have built upon each others' findings through further experiments. The discovery of DNA focused scientists' efforts and led to the research into genetics and heredity aimed at improving life on Earth today. Identification of DNADNA's discovery can be traced to 1868, when Swiss medical student Johann Friedrich Miescher began work on isolating proteins from white blood cells. Miescher found a substance that contained more phosphorus than cellular proteins and could not be broken down as proteins could. His discovery of what he called “nuclein” proved an important key for scientists decades later who were trying to determine which chemical components of cells carried genetic information. Investigation into DNA's Function and Structure In the 1940s, American biologist Oswald Avery and colleagues at Rockefeller University exposed one type of pneumonia bacteria to the DNA from another type without any proteins present, transforming the first type into the second and demonstrating that DNA was the agent of change. A decade later, James Watson and Francis Crick of Cambridge University suggested that DNA carried information in a code that aided in protein synthesis and existed as a double-stranded molecule, or double helix structure, that carried the instructions for copying itself and transferring genetic material across generations. Application to a Broad Range of Fields Today, our understanding of DNA's role and structure guides procedures and research in fields from agriculture to law. The ability to identify specific genes has assisted plant breeders in producing crops with hardy, desirable traits that result from the proteins DNA helps create."

These instructions are found inside every cell, and are passed down from parents to their children. DNA structure DNA is made up of molecules called nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a sugar group and a nitrogen base. The four types of nitrogen bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C).

Edit Answer by Timgreat Confidence votes 88DNA was discovered by a Swiss scientist, Friedrich Miescher, in 1869. In 1953 James Watson and Francis Crick proposed the double-helix structure for the molecule, and by 1966 the genetic code (i.e. which amino acids were coded for by which sequences of DNA bases, and what the remaining codons \"\"meant\"\", ) had been completely worked out. __________________________________________________________________________ While examining the DNA molecule, Watson and Crick (1953), proposed a satisfactory model for the arrangement of these constituents. For this important contribution to science they were given the 1962 Nobel Prize. They hypothesized from X-ray analysis of the molecule that DNA consists of two strands, twisted in a spiral (or helix) shape. This shape resembles a twisted ladder with rungs between the two uprights. The \"\"uprights\"\" of this ladder are made entirely of alternating phosphate and sugar molecules. The rungs are composed only of the nitrogen bases, which are attached to the sugar."

He is widely known for the use of the term \"\" central dogma \"\" to summarize the idea that once information is transferred from nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) to proteins, it cannot flow back to nucleic acids. In other words, the final step in the flow of information from nucleic acids to proteins is irreversible. [ 6]During the remainder of his career, he held the post of J. W. Kieckhefer Distinguished Research Professor at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California. His later research centered on theoretical neurobiology and attempts to advance the scientific study of human consciousness. He remained in this post until his death; \"\"he was editing a manuscript on his death bed, a scientist until the bitter end\"\" according to Christof Koch.

James and Francis used evidence shared by others, particularly Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins, to determine the shape of DNA. Rosalind worked with Maurice at King's College London. She beamed X-rays through crystals of the DNA molecule and then used photographic film to record where the scattered X-rays fell. The shadows on the film were then used to work out where the dense molecules lie in the DNA. This technique is called X-ray diffraction. The DNA crystals resulted in a cross shape on the X-ray film which is typical of a molecule with a helix shape. The resulting X-ray was named Photograph 51 and Maurice shared it with James and Francis. Photograph 51, the X-ray image produced by Rosalind Franklin and her Ph D student Raymond Gosling."

The discovery of DNA is credited to Francis Crick and James Watson. Yet as most scientific discoveries go, this advancement in biological understanding would not have been possible without the contributions who came before. It was actually Fredrich Miescher, a Swiss chemist, who first discovered DNA in the 1860’s. Phoebus Levene and Erwin Chargaff, among others, also made contributions that assisted Crick and Watson in their 1953 revelation. The terms used to define and describe DNA are almost as complex as the building block of life itself. DNA Basics Mercifully, scientists shortened the name deoxyribonucleic acid to DNA. DNA is located in the cells of most -- but not all -- living organisms. DNA, among other things, manufactures RNA, the short term for ribonucleic acid. RNA uses amino acids to manufacture the proteins necessary for life."

"text": "\"deoxyribonucleic acid / DNADeoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that encodes an organism's genetic blueprint. In other words, DNA contains all of the information required to build and maintain an organism. DNA was discovered in 1868, when twenty-four-year-old Swiss physician Friedrich Miescher isolated a compound from the nuclei of white blood cells. This compound was neither a protein nor a lipid nor a carbohydrate, so it was therefore a novel type of biological molecule. Miescher named his discovery \"\"nuclein,\"\" because he had isolated it from the nuclei of cells. Today, this molecule is called DNA. Nearly all of the cells within a single organism include exactly the same DNA. DNA is a linear molecule composed of four types of smaller chemical molecules called nucleotide bases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). The order of these bases is called the DNA sequence. Segments of DNA that carry genetic information are called genes, and they are inherited by offspring from their parents during reproduction."

[ 1] It runs from the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin in Alberta to refineries in Illinois and Texas, and also to oil tank farms and an oil pipeline distribution center in Cushing, Oklahoma. [ 2] The pipeline came to a greater prominence of attention when a planned fourth phase, Keystone XL, attracting growing environmental protest, became a symbol of the battle over climate change and fossil fuels, and in 2015 was temporarily delayed by then President Barack Obama. On January 24, 2017, President Donald Trump took action intended to permit the pipeline's completion. Three phases of the project are in operation. They are: The Keystone Pipeline (Phase I), delivering oil from Hardisty, Alberta, over 3,456 kilometres (2,147 mi) to the junction at Steele City, Nebraska, and on to Wood River Refinery in Roxana, Illinois, and Patoka Oil Terminal Hub (tank farm) north of Patoka, Illinois, completed in June 2010.

[ 8]The proposed Keystone XL (sometimes abbreviated KXL, with XL standing for \"\"export limited\"\" [9]) Pipeline (Phase IV) would essentially duplicate (though along a shorter route and with a larger-diameter pipe) the Phase I pipeline between Hardisty, Alberta, and Steele City, Nebraska. [ 10] It would run through Baker, Montana, where American-produced light crude oil from the Williston Basin ( Bakken formation) of Montana and North Dakota would be added [2] to the Keystone's throughput of synthetic crude oil (syncrude) and diluted bitumen (dilbit) from the oil sands of Canada."

It's two stories high and I suspect the previous owners didn't put the shingles over the edge enough to drip the water into the gutters. I have not been able to get up there to completely confirm everything as I don't have a ladder tall enough. That being said, I will have a loaner ladder shortly. Now, how to resolve this issue... I have two ideas, both have their draw backs, which leaves me searching for better ideas. The first would be to put a bead of silicon or similar between the gutter and the eaves, removing the gap for the water to drip through. The problem being if the shingles are too short, this could allow for water to get under them and rot the roof. The second idea is to use the top section of a shingle, and slide it under the shingles along the edge (extending the shingle line). These would be tached down and a bead of tar or similar to cover the nail heads."

Previously, each service had their own way of reporting; as an example, what may have been called a misdemeanor by the Navy may have been ruled in a different category by the Marine Corps. Making the changes forced the Navy to change some of the terminology and limits of what is waiverable for enlistment to meet the DOD’s requirements. a couple of examples are, minor misdemeanors are now called Non-Traffic offenses, and any felony and some serious misdemeanors are now considered a Major Misconduct. Also changed, was the various combination of charges that could be waived. Because of the consolidation of reporting rules, this guide should be in-line with all the military branches’ reporting requirements (the level at which a waiver may be required may vary slightly from one service to another). I have been trying to avoid posting about this topic because of the numerous factors that go into a waiver determination, but because of all the email questions I do receive, police involvement and how it may have hurt enlistment opportunities must be the most common, and the most difficult to answer, I decided to give it a go. You see, just because a charge or group of charges is waiverable, it DOES NOT mean that you will get a waiver. This guide shows the waiver authority, but remember, anyone in the chain can decide not to have your waiver reviewed. Yes, even your Recruiter can decide not to process you."

R. de Szigethy PROLOGUE On a warm Summer day in 1971, Joe Colombo, the Godfather of one of New York City's 5 Mafia families, was at the height of his personal power and prestige. The American Mafia was highly structured at that time, with a set of unwritten rules that every member was expected to abide by. One such rule was that journalists and members of law enforcement were never to be harmed. This rule was for self-preservation; if a Mafia member hurt such a person, the resultant publicity would prompt those in those professions to redouble their efforts to bring about Justice for one of their own. Godfathers themselves were expected to avoid publicity at all costs, as publicity was deemed bad for business. This Cardinal rule would be brazenly broken by Joe Colombo upon ascending to the crime family that would be known by his name in 1964. Godfather Colombo \"\"went public,\"\" courting the Media spotlight like a rock star, a persona John Gotti would later emulate. Stealing a cue from FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, who for many years had implausibly claimed that organized crime did not exist in America, Colombo founded the Italian-American Civil Rights League, the purpose of which was to deny the Mafia existed, and brand anyone who claimed so as an anti-Italian racist. The movement caught on quickly; 50,000 people would jam into Manhattan's Columbus Circle on June 29, 1970, at the League's first public rally."

Unfortunately for Pirate Bay fans, the site has since been knocked offline, according to Venture Beat. Some fans speculate that the Game of Thrones leak is the reason. According to Torrent Freak, the four episodes of Game of Thrones Season 5 that made their way to torrent sites likely originated from “review copies sent to the press. ”No matter where they came from, that the Game of Thrones episodes were leaked at all to torrent sites likely means that the already most pirated series in history, according to Torrent Freak, will bring a huge increase in traffic to the torrent sites. According to Forbes, the Game of Thrones Season episode leak already saw over 800,000 downloads as of 1 p.m. EST. This is where the problem lies for Pirate Bay, as the site was knocked offline yesterday. The question is whether yesterday’s Game of Thrones episode leak online caused the Pirate Bay to go offline."

"text": "\"Levi Asher • April 1st, 2013American History Mystery News Politics Psychology Despite the enormous impact of the Watergate scandal, the actual purpose of the break-in of the Democratic National Committee offices has never been conclusively established. -- Wikipedia, The Watergate Scandal. I was thinking about this long-mysterious motive after reading Thomas Mallon's subtle, well-imagined historical novel Watergate, which speculates (among other things) that the purpose of the illegal spy operation in June 1972 that eventually brought down Richard Nixon's presidency was to find evidence of a Fidel Castro/Cuban connection to the Democratic party. This is one of several common explanations for the spy operation. Another one, suggested by Bob Haldeman and tentatively endorsed by Jeb Magruder, is that Nixon wanted to find evidence that the reclusive millionaire Howard Hughes was secretly funding the Democrats. Others have suggested that Nixon wanted dirt on Ted Kennedy, and a recent book called Watergate: The Hidden History: Nixon, The Mafia, and The CIA by Lamar Waldron tries to build a case for a Mafia connection. Still others have guessed that the whole botched operation was a trap by Nixon's opponents, intended to embarrass the President (if this was the case, the trap was an amazing success). I don't think that any of the above answers are very good, and I have a better one to suggest. The motive for the Watergate break-in is something primal, dreadfully familiar, awkwardly obvious. The answer is there in plain sight -- and it's also certainly there in the memoirs written by the principal Watergate criminals, particularly Blind Ambition by John Dean, An American Life: One Man's Road to Watergate by Jeb Magruder, The Ends of Power by Bob Haldeman, Witness to Power: The Nixon Years by John Ehrlichman, Will by G. Gordon Liddy and Born Again by Chuck Colson, all of which I've carefully read and reread to help me reach the conclusion I'm about to explain."

Olivia ( Kerry Washington ) attempted to negotiate with a father who’d just lost his son at the hands of a police officer, Jake ( Scott Foley ) worried incessantly about Olivia and Fitz ( Tony Goldwyn ) chose a new Vice President!‘Scandal’ Recap: Don’t Back Down Naturally, after episodes of being held hostage by a group of crazy people who wanted to sell her to the enemies of the United States, Jake was worried about Olivia. Despite her telling him that she was fine, he wasn’t buying it. Olivia wasn’t at the talking stage yet and wanted him to leave her be. Olivia is never in the talking stage. With Fitz, Jake or anyone. She fibbed big time and headed to the crime scene of a dead black teenager who was killed by a white police officer. Given the similarities with the Ferguson case, this struck a powerful chord."

A few days ago I noticed a small puddle around the bottom of the pipe. The water seems to be coming out at all the seams of the pipe, slowly, and the water is dirty. I did a little test and noticed that it only leaks when water is being run in the house. Could this be something as simple as a clog or just some putty being needed where its leaking from? Or something more serious?

"text": "\"Home Sports Football New Scientific Study Ranks All 32 NFL Fan Bases From Best To... New Scientific Study Ranks All 32 NFL Fan Bases From Best To Worst By NFLMemes - July 12, 2016tweet Ad If there’s one constant debate other than which NFL team is the best, it’s which NFL fanbase has the best fans. It’s become somewhat of a tradition each summer for Dr. Mike Lewis of Emory’s Goizueta School of Business to end this debate on annual terms. This summer is no different. Lewis’ study to find out the ranking of NFL fanbases measures teams’ brand equity—broadly defined, the level of support each team enjoys in the form of dollars spent, miles traveled, and social media assaulted by its fan base. You can dig into the methodology here, but in basic terms, if a team’s fans spend more money than expected on a team, that team ranks ever higher. Dr. Mike Lewis –The basic approach (more details here) is to use data to develop statistical models of fan interest. These models are used to determine which cities fans are more willing to spend or follow their teams after controlling for factors like market size and short-term variations in performance. In past years, two measures of engagement have been featured: Fan Equity and Social Media Equity. Fan Equity focuses on home box office revenues (support via opening the wallet) and Social Media Equity focuses on fan willingness to engage as part of a team’s community (support exhibited by joining social media communities). This year I have come up with a new method that combines these two measures: Dynamic Fan Equity (DFE)."

Three Beach Boys founding members dumped by the band's frontman Mike Love... via PUBLIC statement By Hanna Flint Published: 07:09 EDT, 26 September 2012 | Updated: 07:38 EDT, 26 September 2012110View comments Three of the founding members of the Beach Boys have been unceremoniously dumped midway through their UK tour. Brian Wilson, Al Jardine and David Marks were informed of the news via a statement issued by Mike Love - the band's frontman and Wilson's cousin - that the tour would be continuing without them. Their places will be filled by Bruce Johnston - a second generation member - and a selection of session musicians. Sacked: From left to right Mike Love and Bruce Johnston will continue on tour without founding members Brian Wilson, David Marks and Al Jardine The statement read: 'The post-50th anniversary configuration will not include Brian Wilson, Al Jardine and David Marks. The 50th Reunion Tour was designed to be a set tour with a beginning and an end to mark a special 50-year milestone for the band. ' This shocking announcement came after the reunited members had recorded their first studio album in 20 years, featuring entirely original music. Wilson, 70, who is very much the musical maestro responsible for writing most of the band's early singles and albums, told CNN just how confusing the situation is. Confused: Brian Wilson, 70, says he is 'disappointed and can't understand' Mike Love's decision He said: 'I'm disappointed and can't understand why Love doesn't want to tour with Al, David and me. We are out here having so much fun."

It was released on March 6, 2015, by Interscope Records. Following the completion of the MDNA release and promotion, Madonna worked on the album throughout 2014, co-writing and co-producing it with various musicians, including Diplo, Avicii, and Kanye West. Unlike her previous endeavors, working with a large number of collaborators posed problems for Madonna in keeping a cohesive sound and creative direction for the album. Thematically, Rebel Heart represents the singer's romantic and rebellious sides; the ideas grew organically during the writing and recording sessions. Musically, it is a pop record which merges an array of genres such as 1990s house, trap, and reggae, while using acoustic guitars and gospel choir. Some of the songs are autobiographical in nature while others talk about love and Madonna's career. Rebel Heart features guest appearances by boxer Mike Tyson and rappers Nicki Minaj, Nas and Chance the Rapper. The record had been set for a March 2015 release, with the first single to be released on Valentine's Day."

History and organization [ edit]Seal when under the Department of Transportation The TSA was created as a response to the September 11, 2001 attacks. Its first administrator, John Magaw, was nominated by President Bush on December 10, 2001, and confirmed by the Senate the following January. The agency's proponents, including Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta, argued that only a single federal agency would better protect air travel than the private companies who operated under contract to single airlines or groups of airlines that used a given terminal facility. Prior to its creation, private security firms managed air travel security. [ 4]The organization was charged with developing policies to protect U. S. transportation, especially in airport security and the prevention of aircraft hijacking."

Did your temp gage go very high or a warning light appear?? Check your radiator fan, fuse, and switch to make sure they are in working order. If you repair the engine, and this was the cause, you will only have the same problem AGAIN!! When water gets into the oil, you definitely have a bad head gasket (at least) and maybe a crack in the cylinder head, or a head that got so hot that it warped. Drain the oil, and install cheap oil as a test, first. When the car is cooled down, will it start??? Does it blow smoke from the tailpipe??"

"text": "\"Bombshell evidence has just been uncovered by Attorney Jay Sekulow, proving that Barack Obama, in his last days in the White House, set up a coup by a secret executive order to overthrow President Donald Trump. Sekulow, while investigating the General Mike Flynn scandal, discovered what Obama hoped would never be found, and you will be shocked to learn about the smoking gun. After Trump won the presidency, Barack Obama and his minions in the White House hatched a plan to ensure they could keep enough power to eventually overthrow the new President. Obama did this by signing an executive order on January 3, 2017, with only 17 days left in office. Barrack and Michelle Obama moved into a mansion only 2 miles away from the White House, and he will lease office space in the headquarters building of the World Wildlife Fund. This is where he is supposed to be running what some are calling a “Shadow government”. According to Jay Sekulow, a well-known attorney who heads the American Center for Law and Justice, Obama set up a plan to target President Trump through a secret executive order that Sekulow has uncovered. “The new rules significantly relax longstanding limits on what the N. S. A. may do with the information gathered by its most powerful surveillance operations, which are largely unregulated by American wiretapping laws. These include collecting satellite transmissions, phone calls and emails that cross network switches abroad, and messages between people abroad that cross domestic network switches. The change means that far more officials will be searching through raw data."

"text": "Sports Mike Webster, 50, Dies; Troubled Football Hall of Famer By FRANK LITSKY SEPT. 25, 2002Mike Webster, whose Hall of Fame pro football career was followed by more than a decade of physical and psychological turmoil apparently brought on by repeated blows to the head on the field, died yesterday in a Pittsburgh hospital. He was 50. The cause of death was a heart attack, the Pittsburgh Steelers said. Webster played center for 15 seasons (1974-88) for the Steelers and two seasons (1989-90) for the Kansas City Chiefs. In 1997, he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, and in 2000 he was named to the National Football League's all-time team. Webster was a pivotal player on the standout Steeler teams that captured four Super Bowl championships in the 1970's. He was an undersized 225-pound center at the University of Wisconsin who lingered in the N. F. L. draft until the fifth round, when he was selected by the Steelers. He transformed himself into a 260-pound tough-minded professional, a man known as Iron Mike who played bare-armed in freezing weather and helped set the tone for a Pittsburgh offense that included the future Hall of Famers Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, Lynn Swann and John Stallworth. Of the 22 players who were part of all four Steeler Super Bowl teams, Webster was the last to leave and the first to die. ''"

MMQB is up. @SI_Peter King on all 32 teams and exclusive debut of @Concussion Movie trailer: http://t.co/q0tc3HHglnhttps://t.co/HNJCF2Oo Dw— The MMQB (@the MMQB) August 31, 2015In the trailer, Will Smith, who takes on the role of Omalu, tries repeatedly to get the league to acknowledge brain damage as a result of repeated concussions — something that at the time was not widely known or spoken of as it is today. “Tell the truth,” Smith implores in the movie to one man who asks him who he is. “ Tell the truth. ”The movie follows the story of Omalu as he makes the discovery of the disease and tries to get football officials to listen. Instead, he is discredited and hits road blocks of a league uninterested in change or publicly acknowledging what’s going on with many of its players. In a 2013 interview with PBS’ Frontline, Omalu spoke about the burden of being the doctor who discovered CTE and the subsequent fight with the NFL. I’m not happy. Before Mike Webster, I led my life."

This has led to confusion and an inordinate amount of instability in families. Because of this, it is important to know what is the Biblical definition and role of a husband. What is the common definition of the word husband? The word husband is commonly defined as (1): “a married man considered in relation to his wife.” The word comes from the Old Norse húsbóndi “master of a house,” from hús “house” + bóndi “occupier and tiller of the soil.” The original sense of the verb was “till, cultivate.” This shows us two concepts about husbands."

Omalu is the real-life doctor who, while working as a forensic pathologist in Pittsburgh, discovered a new and terrifying brain disorder that he named Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, or CTE. He discovered it performing an autopsy on a retired Pittsburgh Steeler named Mike Webster (movingly portrayed here by David Morse ). Webster left the game as a hero and began losing his mind well before his death at fifty; scenes shortly before his death show him living in his pickup truck, huffing turpentine. A fellow player, himself to suffer a similar fate in the movie, tries to help him out. Neither man understands what’s happening to them. Omalu figures it out: the persistent head injuries sustained in football play shake up the brain—as the character explains, unlike some other mammals, humans don’t have built-in shock absorbers for their grey matter—and release a protein that builds up and causes hallucinations, memory loss, and much more trauma. Advertisement This film, written and directed by Peter Landesman and based in part on a 2009 magazine article, portrays Omalu as a cheerful, quietly religious man who, as a Nigerian-born immigrant, believes strongly in the American Dream, and believes that doing the right thing is part of that whole trip. The response his findings elicit from the NFL quickly prove him mistaken."

S. in machine gun owners Follow us on Facebook and Twitter Follow @Pilot News By Laurence Hammack The Roanoke Times © October 21, 2012The submachine gun that Richard G. Webster kept in the bedroom of his Franklin County home came to the attention of law enforcement by chance. After responding to a call about an assault at Webster's house on Sept. 10, 2011, sheriff's deputies were greeted by the heavy scent of marijuana. That led to a search warrant, which led to Webster's Sten Mark III model 9 mm submachine gun. Webster, 48, pleaded guilty last month in Roanoke's federal court to illegal possession of a machine gun. Such charges are rare in Western Virginia. Less rare, it seems, are cases of machine guns that are lawfully owned, whether by law enforcement agencies, gun dealers or private citizens. There were 30,220 registered machine guns in Virginia as of March, according to figures compiled by the U. S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. That's more than any other state in the nation. Florida and California, with far larger populations than Virginia, ranked second and third in the number of registered machine guns, with 29,128 and 28,774, respectively. Nationally, there are nearly 500,000 registered machine guns, according to an annual report compiled by the ATF."

Well, football today is still very tough, but I think in the day that I played and several other players that are my vintage will concur that it was a battle out there; it was a war. I was at a gathering in August, I guess it was, and Jim Brown was there, and he was saying the same thing, that it was different back then. Well, the rules and regulations today have really changed football to a certain degree because of the contact rules. Oftentimes you'll see the contact where a tackler will tackle a runner or the quarterback, and right away they flag him, and it's going to cost them $20,000, $50,000, whatever it is for that hit. Well, when that tackler -- in so many cases, if you watch the television, you watch the film, you see that tackler coming in with his head and his shoulders, which he's been taught to use to tackle his whole life. He comes in like he's going to hit the man midsection, which there's no penalty for, and just as he hits coming in on the midsection, you'll see that ballplayer, the guy with the ball, drop his head. And when he drops his head, he drops his head right to the spot where the tackler is coming in with his head and shoulders.

Garrity President Ronald Reagan, in his famous June 1982 speech to the British Parliament, described the outlines of “a plan and a hope for the long term—the march of freedom and democracy which will leave Marxism-Leninism on the ash-heap of history as it has left other tyrannies which stifle the freedom and muzzle the self-expression of the people. ”Five years later, Reagan delivered an address at the Brandenburg Gate in West Berlin, near the infamous Wall. A new Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, had recently been making noises about a fundamental change in the communist system. “ The Soviets themselves may, in a limited way, be coming to understand the importance of freedom,” Reagan observed. “ We hear much from Moscow about a new policy of reform and openness.” Still, the West was right to ask whether this marked the beginnings of profound changes in the Soviet state or merely token gestures, intended to raise false hopes and to strengthen the Soviet system without changing it. But, Reagan noted, “there is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate!"

His rise to power ushered in an era of perestroika (restructuring) and of glasnost (openness). Reagan and Gorbachev leaving the Reykjavik Summit U. S.-Soviet relations improved considerably during the middle 1980s. At a dramatic summit meeting in Reykjavik, Iceland, in October 1986, Gorbachev proposed a 50-percent reduction in the nuclear arsenals of each side, and for a time it seemed as though a historic agreement would be reached. The summit ended in failure, owing to differences over SDI. However, on December 8, 1987, the Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty was signed in Washington, eliminating an entire class of nuclear weapons. The INF Treaty was the first arms-control pact to require an actual reduction in nuclear arsenals rather than merely restricting their proliferation. As the decade came to an end, much of the Eastern Bloc began to crumble. The Hungarian government took down the barbed wire on its border with Austria and the West.

Well, yes. Recently declassified documents leave no doubt about the matter. But how did he accomplish it? Through hostile rhetoric and a massive arms buildup, which the Soviets knew they couldn't match, as Reagan's conservative champions contend? Or through a second-term conversion to detente and disarmament, as some liberal historians, including Slate 's David Greenberg, argue?

"text": "\"Berlin Wall Introduction In post- World War II Germany, the Berlin Wall was erected on August 16, 1961, along the demarcation between the eastern sector of Berlin controlled by the Soviet Union, and the western sectors occupied by the United States, France, and Great Britain. East Germany, officially the German Democratic Republic (GDR), was a Communist state that existed from 1949 to 1990 in the former Soviet occupation zone of Germany. The Soviet sector was by far the largest and covered most of east Berlin, including Friedrichshain, Kreuzberg, Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg, Kreuzberg, and Lichtenberg. Its twofold purpose was to prevent well-educated East Germans from leaving East Germany — a \"\"brain drain\"\" — and to impede approximately 80 spy centers and organizations from interfering with the Russian sector. The threat of a second Great Depression loomed large in Europe, and Germany was one of the hardest-hit areas. Most German cities had been all but obliterated, and transportation systems lay in ruins. Routinely, refugees fled from East to West in search of a society sound enough for them to work for the barest daily essentials. In a rare move, the Allied victors decided to allay an economic crisis by helping to rebuild the most-devastated areas as quickly as possible. That effort was called the Marshall Plan, in honor of George C. Marshall, then U. S. Secretary of State, who first called for Allied participation in the restoration of Europe. The success of that strategy earned Marshall a Nobel Peace Prize."

Candidate Name: Christian Martinez Candidate Number: 000849-0007 Word Count: 3,980 1 Abstract This essay deals with Mikhail Gorbachev’s reforms in the Soviet Union’s final years from 1985- 1991 and analyses their contribution to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. By reviewing the reforms established by former president Gorbachev, it examines what he aimed to achieve with Perestroika and Glasnost, their impact on Soviet economy and society, why they failed, and how they led the dissolution of the Soviet regime. The essay answers the question: How did the Perestroika and Glasnost programs led by President Mikhail Gorbachev along with the collapse of state control on information and economy ultimately lead to the downfall of the Soviet Union? To answer this question, I used a variety of primary and secondary sources. Primary sources include first-hand accounts of the impacts of Perestroika, while secondary sources are based on the views and analysis of Soviet historians. The investigation undertakes points to the conclusion that Gorbachev’s reforms were the primary cause of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Although Gorbachev’s intention was to create a stronger Soviet Union, in practice he did the opposite. Perestroika reduced living standards considerably, increased the public’s criticism towards the Communist Party, and contributed to ethnic tension which caused the Soviet republics to declare independence. Gorbachev did achieve some success such as opening up Soviet society and cooperation with the West, however the significance of Gorbachev's Glasnost and Perestroika was to eradicate the corruption in the political, economic and social control exemplified by Marx, Lenin and Stalin."

"text": "Fall of Communism in Eastern Europe, 1989On November 9, 1989, thousands of jubilant Germans brought down the most visible symbol of division at the heart of Europe—the Berlin Wall. For two generations, the Wall was the physical representation of the Iron Curtain, and East German border guards had standing shoot-to-kill orders against those who tried to escape. But just as the Wall had come to represent the division of Europe, its fall came to represent the end of the Cold War. In the White House, President George H. W. Bush and his National Security Advisor, Brent Scowcroft, watched the unfolding scene on a television in the study, aware of both the historical significance of the moment and of the challenges for U. S. foreign policy that lay ahead. Germans celebrating the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 10, 1989. ( AP Photo/File)Not even the most optimistic observer of President’s Ronald Reagan’s 1987 Berlin speech calling on Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down this wall” would have imagined that two years later the communist regimes of Eastern Europe would collapse like dominoes. By 1990, the former communist leaders were out of power, free elections were held, and Germany was whole again. The peaceful collapse of the regimes was by no means pre-ordained. Soviet tanks crushed demonstrators in East Berlin in June 1953, in Hungary in 1956, and again in Czechoslovakia in 1968. Soviet military planners were intimately involved in the Polish planning for martial law in 1980, and Soviet troops remained stationed throughout Eastern Europe, as much a guarantee for Soviet security as an ominous reminder to Eastern European peoples of Soviet dominance over their countries."

Together, these two books, building on the work of previous scholars since the collapse of the Soviet empire, catapult Reagan to the forefront of presidential greatness. Paul Kengor’s The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism, contends that Reagan’s goal of defeating communism and winning the Cold War can be traced to his early struggles against communists in Hollywood as head of the Screen Actors Guild in the late 1940s."

Two years later, deliriously happy East and West Germans did break down the infamous barrier between East and West Berlin. Reagan’s challenge came during a visit to West Berlin. With the Berlin Wall as a backdrop, Reagan declared, “There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace.” He then called upon his Soviet counterpart: “Secretary General Gorbachev, if you seek peace–if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe–if you seek liberalization: come here, to this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.” Addressing the West Berlin crowd, Reagan observed, “Standing before the Brandenburg Gate, every man is a German, separated from his fellow men. Every man is a Berliner, forced to look upon a scar.” Reagan then went on to ask Gorbachev to undertake serious arms reduction talks with the United States."

"text": "Top 10 Lists Top 10 Reagan Achievements Human Events | Sunday Feb 6, 2011 3:01 AMShare on Facebook With the centennial of Ronald Reagan’s birth this Feb. 6, it is fitting to recall the achievements of one of the greatest Presidents in the history of this nation:1. Ending the Cold War: The Cold War had raged since World War II and communism ‘s quest for world domination remained an existential threat to the United States when President Reagan took office. Reagan reversed the policy of detente and stood firm against the Soviet Union, calling it the Evil Empire and telling Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down this wall” in Berlin. He was relentless in pushing his Strategic Defense Initiative and gave aid to rebels battling Soviet-backed Marxists from Nicaragua to Angola. Those efforts were critical in the ultimate collapse of the Soviet empire and essentially ended the Cold War.2. Reaganomics: Reagan’s mix of across-the-board tax cuts, deregulation, and domestic spending restraint helped fuel an economic boom that lasted two decades. Reagan inherited a misery index (the sum of the inflation and unemployment rates) of 19.99%, and when he left office it had dropped to 9.72%. President Obama take note: Under Reaganomics, 16 million new jobs were created.3. Revitalizing the GOP and the conservative movement: The Republican Party was at its nadir after Watergate, but Reagan was able to form a winning coalition of fiscal conservatives, family-values voters, blue-collar Reagan Democrats and neo-conservative intellectuals and set the stage for future GOP electoral gains. His free-market, small-government, pro-liberty conservatism helped to revitalize the GOP and his influence resonates today as conservative candidates still invoke Reagan as their standard-bearer.4."

"text": "Gorbachev, Reagan and the End of the Cold War Archie Brown | Published in Volume 64 Issue 9 September 2014The Triumph of Improvisation: Gorbachev’s Adaptability, Reagan’s Engagement and the End of the Cold War James Graham Wilson Cornell University Press 280pp £18.50This is one of the better books on the end of the Cold War. Unlike many American accounts, it is not – at least until its very last paragraph – triumphalist in tone. Wilson recognises that Mikhail Gorbachev was by some distance the most important political actor in the dramatic sequence of events between 1985 and 1991. On the American side he rightly identifies Ronald Reagan, George Shultz and George H. W. Bush as the people who mattered most. He is particularly good at giving Secretary of State Shultz his due. Reagan’s policies were both very general and inconsistent, although he genuinely wanted to rid the world of nuclear weapons and to cement peaceful relations with a changed Soviet Union. Shultz gave practical substance to this foreign policy and established constructive relations with the Soviet foreign minister, Eduard Shevardnadze, and with Gorbachev. There were many in the Reagan administration (especially in the CIA and the Pentagon) who viewed Gorbachev as a more dangerous adversary than his Soviet predecessors, because of his ability to woo the West. They refused to take seriously the notions that he would liberalise, still less democratise, the system he had inherited, that he would ever permit the countries of Eastern Europe to become non-Communist and independent and that he would jettison Marxism-Leninism. Wilson’s main argument is that nothing that happened during the end of the Cold War was planned."

Many people claim that Reagan was one of the greatest presidents of all time, while others believe that the country would have been much better off had Reagan never been elected. Regardless of their political preferences, it is undeniable that Ronald Reagan changed the world in the 1980s and his work as president will be forever remembered in the countless books of history. Ronald Reagan ran as a Republican and was the absolute epitome of a conservative. He worked to bring forth the ideal of conservatism in America and successfully captured and isolated that belief in the presidency. As president, Reagan worked to bring the ideal of American exceptionalism back to the country, to set the economy on the right track, and to end the Communist threat that had been present since the end of World War II. For all practical purposes, Ronald Reagan was a president who accomplished more than he set forth to do and did so famously; some would say infamously. Nevertheless, Reagan accomplished more in his eight year presidency than most presidents of the 20th Century. He is widely hailed as the man who ended the Cold War and will forever be remembered as the man who led to the conservative resurgence in America. He was a man of profound ability and charisma and America is better off for having Reagan as the Commander-in-Chief during the latter portion of the 20th Century."

Some call him a legendary reformist, others say he’s enemy number one, responsible for the collapse of a Superpower… This is Mikhail Gorbachev. Road to power Born into a peasant family in the Stavropol Region, it’s highly unlikely anyone expected Mikhail Gorbachev would become the last leader of the Soviet Union, when in his teens he operated combine harvesters on collective farms. But life changed dramatically when Mikhail managed to get into Moscow State University, graduating with a degree in law in 1955. It was during his student years that Gorbachev joined the Communist Party, taking on a political career. Within a few years he managed to quickly work his way up through the Party, becoming the Head of the Department of Party Organs in his home region in 1963. Seven years later came another achievement – Gorbachev was appointed the First Party Secretary of the region, becoming one of the youngest provincial Party chiefs in the country. After several new appointments, in 1980 Gorbachev became the youngest member of the Politburo – the highest authority in the Soviet Union. Image from www.pit.dirty.ru During Yury Andropov’s leadership of the USSR (1982-1984) Mikhail Gorbachev became one of Politburo’s most visible and active members. Responsible for personnel, together with Andropov they managed to replace around 20 percent of government ministers, often with younger men."

"text": "Additional Links Back to the 1990s Fall of the Soviet Union In December of 1991, as the world watched in amazement, the Soviet Union disintegrated into fifteen separate countries. Its collapse was hailed by the west as a victory for freedom, a triumph of democracy over totalitarianism, and evidence of the superiority of capitalism over socialism. The United States rejoiced as its formidable enemy was brought to its knees, thereby ending the Cold War which had hovered over these two superpowers since the end of World War II. Indeed, the breakup of the Soviet Union transformed the entire world political situation, leading to a complete reformulation of political, economic and military alliances all over the globe. What led to this monumental historical event? In fact, the answer is a very complex one, and can only be arrived at with an understanding of the peculiar composition and history of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was built on approximately the same territory as the Russian Empire which it succeeded. After the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, the newly-formed government developed a philosophy of socialism with the eventual and gradual transition to Communism. The state which the Bolsheviks created was intended to overcome national differences, and rather to create one monolithic state based on a centralized economical and political system. This state, which was built on a Communist ideology, was eventually transformed into a totalitarian state, in which the Communist leadership had complete control over the country."

"text": "Opinion How Reagan Beat the Neocons By JOHN PATRICK DIGGINS JUNE 11, 2004Almost everywhere in the press one reads that President Bush sounds an awful lot like Ronald Reagan. Commentators and politicians alike have drawn the comparison between Mr. Bush's ''muscular'' foreign policy and the Reagan doctrine. However macho and aggressive Mr. Bush's foreign policy may be, when it came to the Soviet Union, Mr. Reagan's was anything but. In 1985, Mr. Reagan sent a long handwritten letter to Mikhail Gorbachev assuring him that he was prepared ''to cooperate in any reasonable way to facilitate such a withdrawal'' of the Soviets from Afghanistan. '' Neither of us,'' he added, ''wants to see offensive weapons, particularly weapons of mass destruction, deployed in space.'' Mr. Reagan eagerly sought to work with Mr. Gorbachev to rid the world of such weapons and to help the Soviet Union effect peaceful change in Eastern Europe. This offer was far from the position taken by the neoconservative advisers who now serve under Mr. Bush. Twenty years ago in the Reagan White House, they saw no possibility for such change, and indeed many of them subscribed to the theory of ''totalitarianism'' as unchangeable and irreversible. Mr. Reagan was also informed that the Soviet Union was preparing for a possible pre-emptive attack on the United States. This alarmist position was taken by Team B, formed in response to the more prudently analytical position of the C. I. A. and then composed of several members of the present Bush administration."

How did it become what it is today? From the before the Russian revolution in 1917, communism became a driving force in the Russian existence. The cultural background in Russia also played an important role informing what the country is today. The new leaders such as Lenin, who introduced Marxism to the Russian society, often viewed capitalism as evil. The Russians also prided themselves in their army. With the emphasis placed on the military, the economy under communism has struggled immensely. These traits will eventually lead to the downfall of Communist Russia. The Russian population came forth from a mixed heritage, mainly Slavic. The language and tools of the early Russians is often related to agricultural work, thus it emphasizes their way of life."

It was immediately successful, winning the Pulitzer Prize, and has become a classic of modern American literature. The plot and characters are loosely based on Lee's observations of her family, her neighbors and an event that occurred near her hometown of Monroeville, Alabama, in 1936, when she was 10 years old. The story is told by the six-year-old Jean Louise Finch. The novel is renowned for its warmth and humor, despite dealing with the serious issues of rape and racial inequality. The narrator's father, Atticus Finch, has served as a moral hero for many readers and as a model of integrity for lawyers. One critic explains the novel's impact by writing, \"\"In the twentieth century, To Kill a Mockingbird is probably the most widely read book dealing with race in America, and its protagonist, Atticus Finch, the most enduring fictional image of racial heroism.\"\" [ 1]As a Southern Gothic novel and a Bildungsroman, the primary themes of To Kill a Mockingbird involve racial injustice and the destruction of innocence.

Was he guilty?12:00 AM, Dec 30, 2002 | By Andrew Ferguson IONE FRIDAY THIS PAST NOVEMBER, without much to-do, the Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia dismissed the case of Dr. Samuel A. Mudd. The court's reasoning, what I could make of it, seemed highly technical. \"\" Appellant's insurmountable problem is that his claim is not arguably within the zone of interests to be protected or regulated by the statute in question,\"\" the judges wrote. The ruling was rendered unanimously, and bloodlessly--though bloodlessness, in my opinion, is an odd tone to adopt in a case so heartfelt and long-lived as Dr. Mudd's. Having died in 1883, the doctor is no longer around to defend himself, and the case is showing its age, too, having begun with Mudd's conviction, 137 years ago, of aiding John Wilkes Booth in the conspiracy to murder Abraham Lincoln. In a brief item the next day, the New York Times noted the ruling's definitive quality, and issued, Times-like, a definitive ruling of its own: The court's decision, the paper said, \"\"effectively ended the decades-long campaign of the descendants of Dr. Samuel A. Mudd to clear his name. \"\" That didn't strike me as quite right either. Americans are famous for their disdain of history, as our history bears out, but no American has yet summoned the power to kill the case of Samuel Mudd. It has rattled around, in one form or another, in the courts and elsewhere, since the end of the Civil War."

"text": "\"Advanced Search Home » Literature » Fiction » Character Analysis of Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird Character Analysis of Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird Posted by Nicole Smith , Dec 6, 2011 Fiction Comments Closed Print Atticus Finch is one of the most steadfastly honest and moral characters in “To Kill a Mockingbird “ by Harper Lee and his character remains, for the most part, unchanged throughout “To Kill a Mockingbird”. As any character analysis of Atticus Finch should note in terms of the plot of “To Kill a Mockingbird” he begins as an upstanding citizen who is respected and admired by his peers and even though he loses some ground during the trial, by the end of To Kill a Mockingbird he is still looked up to, both by his children and the community as whole—with all class levels included. As a lawyer in To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus Finch represents everything that someone working in the justice system should. He is fair, does not hold grudges, and looks at every situation from a multitude of angles. As Miss Maude quite correctly puts it in one of the important quotes from “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee, “Atticus Finch is the same in his house as he is on the public streets\"\" (87) and this could also be said of how he behaves in the courtroom. He is a skilled lawyer and without making outright accusations in a harsh tone he effectively points out that Bob Ewell is lying. Even more importantly, the subject of this character analysis, Atticus Finch, is able to gracefully point out to the jury that there although there probably are a few black men who are capable of crimes, “this is a truth that applies to the human race and to no particular race of men\"\" (208). His understanding of equality and his colorblindness allow him to see clearly that the case has been motivated by racial hatred and he is strong enough, both as a person and a lawyer, to see that this is a wrong that needs to be discussed and pointed out to the community. In general in To Kill a Mockingbird, as a lawyer, he is much as he is as a father—focused on justice, equality, and imbued with the special talent of seeing a number of angles to every situation. As a parent in To Kill a Mockingbird Atticus, although older than most of the other children’s parents, is very careful to offer his children careful moral guidance."

Grumpy old Mrs. Dubose lives down the street. Mrs. Dubose illustrates the novel’s theme -- people aren’t always what they seem. They may be better, worse or have redeeming qualities if we look beyond the surface. With guidance from Atticus, we may reframe Mrs. Dubose from a heartless, repulsive, traditionalist and racist to a courageous fighter. Heartless Mrs. Dubose initially intimidates Scout and Jem. She seemed perpetually old, intent on uncovering mischief and apparently convinced that no good comes from Finch folly. Scout, our narrator, puts it this way: “Jem and I hated her. If she was on the porch when we passed, we would be raked by her wrathful gaze, subjected to ruthless interrogation regarding our behavior, and given a melancholy prediction on what we would amount to when we grew up, which was always nothing. \"\" Repulsive Scout finds Mrs. Dubose's appearance as repulsive as her observations. “"

Our guess? The infamous \"\"Black Veil\"\" will end up being revealed as Jason's twin sister! ABC Family Season 5 of “Pretty Little Liars” is underway, and while fans are slowly gaining the necessary answers to the many “A”-centric questions on the series, there are still a lot of unsolved mysteries! But a recent interview with Tammin Sursok, the actress who plays Jenna Marshall on “Pretty Little Liars” may have finally revealed some evidence to one of fans ever growing burning questions and curiosities regarding the significance of twins in Rosewood. In an interview with Australia’s The Daily Edition, Tammin confirmed that Season 5 may be the series wildest season yet, disclosing that the Liars do discover the identity of “A,” who was revealed to be Shana in the Season 5 premiere episode, “Esc Ape From New York.” However, despite her best abilities the actress did reveal some spoilers, stating that although “A” was discovered and killed by Aria, Shana wasn’t the real “A” or who fans have come to know as uber “A,” stating “that it’s not really ‘A’.” The actress then continued and shocked fans by saying, “then someone has a twin sister,” before relenting and claiming that she “can’t give too much away or I’m going to have to kill you. ”While the idea of a twin on “Pretty Little Liars” has been floating around since the inception of the series, which was inspired by Sara Shepard’s novel series. Fans have never really seen true confirmation of a twin appearing on the show, until now that is."

Related: The 11 greatest children's books of all time Atticus Finch, small town lawyer and widower, is arguably fiction's greatest father. Atticus parents his ten-year-old son Jem and his younger sister, Scout (6), with a calm and approachable demeanor. For a man in the 1930s American South, he is a progressive. He's against spanking, never yells, and gives his children truthful answers to difficult questions.

He believes that everyone is equal and therefore just because Tom Robinson is black, doesn't mean that he should not defend him. He says to Scout many times, if he did not defend this man, he could never tell Jem or her (Scout) not to do something. He has to set a good example for his children and if he expects them to do something or follow certain values, then he must display them first. In this case, he is displaying that everyone deserves a chance and that everyone is equal. He is also trying to make the town of Maycomb more accepted of this idea since this is a town of great discrimination. Even though he is only one man, he is hoping to cause a ripple effect and hoping that people will see the light and start believing that everyone is truly equal, no matter what their skin colour is."

At first, they believe that they are being forced to read to Mrs Dubose because they have misbehaved, they do not know that there is a more serious reason. At the end of the chapter they find out that Mrs Dubose was dying when they were reading to her and that she had been trying to get out of her addiction to morphine and that by having Jem read to her, she would have a distraction to the pain. Atticus knew this all along and wanted Jem and Scout to learn that bravery does not come in the form of a man holding a gun and that Mrs Dubose had shown true bravery. This is only one of the times that Atticus has tried to teach Jem and Scout but throughout part one of the book we see him try to teach them good life skills that other parents may not teach. ' I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand' this quote ties in perfectly with the two main things Atticus teaches his children in this part of the book, the fact that Mrs Dubose showed true bravery and the fact that Atticus does not want his children to think he is brave and a good man because he can shoot a gun.

Prototypes are experimental and incomplete designs which are cheaply and fast developed. Prototyping, which is the process of developing prototypes, is an integral part of iterative user-centered design because it enables designers to try out their ideas with users and to gather feedback [1] . The main purpose of prototyping is to involve the users in testing design ideas and get their feedback in the early stage of development, thus to reduce the time and cost. It provides an efficient and effective way to refine and optimize interfaces through discussion, exploration, testing and iterative revision [2]. Early evaluation can be based on faster and cheaper prototypes before the start of a full-scale implementation. The prototypes can be changed many times until a better understanding of the user interface design has been achieved with the joint efforts of both the designers and the users. Prototyping can be divided into low-fidelity prototyping, medium-fidelity prototyping and high-fidelity prototyping. In some literature, it is only simply classified as low-fidelity prototyping (also called Lo-Fi) and high-fidelity prototyping (also called Hi-Fi), where low-fidelity prototyping is mainly about paper-based mock-up, and high-fidelity is mainly about computer-based simulation. The determining factor in prototype fidelity is the degree to which the prototype accurately represents the appearance and interaction of the product, not the degree to which the code and other attributes invisible to the user are accurate. On this web page, we will consider a fully-functioned prototype as a high-fidelity prototype."

Aa Aa Aa Introduction How do the natural ends of chromosomes — called telomeres — differ from chromosome ends generated at the site of a chromosomal break? Unlike broken chromosome ends, telomeres have a distinct capacity to avoid fusing with each other. They are like chromosomal caps that cannot recombine the way that broken ends often do. At the molecular level, telomeres are the solution to avoiding the loss of genetic information that would otherwise occur because of the end-replication problem faced by linear chromosomes in eukaryotic cells. Telomeres are built of hundreds of copies of a six-base-pair repeat that acts as a platform for telomerase, an enzyme specific to these special chromosomal caps. Telomerase picks up where DNA polymerase leaves off and uses its own built-in RNA primer to extend the 3′ end of the DNA template strand, creating this special cap."

Dear Dr. Muller: I read the interview with Dr. Viana Muller on the About Thyroid site and decided to try the Royal Maca, taking 3 capsules a day--one with each meal, since I am hypothyroid. I strted to feel warmer after only one day, but not uncomfortably so. I am usually a cold person. Is this an effect of the maca? Could it work so quickly?

"text": "\"Following is the article written by David Frawley in \"\"The India Times\"\" David Frawley, a well-known Vedic scholar, runs the American Institute of Vedic Studies in santa Fe, New Mexico. He is also a famed Ayurveda doctor. Those interested in this subject may refer to his book \"\"Gods, Sages and Kings: Vedic Secrets of Ancient Civilization\"\". The Myth of the Aryan Invasion of India By David Frawley One of the main ideas used to interpret and generally devalue the ancient history of India is the theory of the Aryan invasion. According to this account, India was invaded and conquered by nomadic light-skinned Indo-European tribes from Central Asia around 1500-100 BC, who overthrew an earlier and more advanced dark-skinned Dravidian civilization from which they took most of what later became Hindu culture. This so-called pre-Aryan civilization is said to be evidenced by the large urban ruins of what has been called the \"\" Indus valley culture \"\" (as most of its initial sites were on the Indus river). The war between the powers of light and darkness, a prevalent idea in ancient Aryan Vedic scriptures, was thus interpreted to refer to this war between light and dark skinned peoples. The Aryan invasion theory thus turned the \"\" Vedas \"\", the original scriptures of ancient India and the Indo-Aryans, into little more than primitive poems of uncivilized plunderers. This idea totally foreign to the history of India, whether north or south has become almost an unquestioned truth in the interpretation of ancient history Today, after nearly all the reasons for its supposed validity have been refuted, even major Western scholars are at last beginning to call it in question. In this article we will summarize the main points that have arisen."

The rest of the part of atom contains negatively charged particles called as electron which balance out the charge of the protons and make the atom electrically neutral. The total mass of an atom accumulate at the center of atom in the form of nucleus as the mass of electrons is negligible. Hence, the sum of total number of protons and neutrons is called as mass number . There must be some nuclear force which maintains the existence of nucleus, because there is a repulsion force between positively charged proton which are collected in a small region of nucleus. If the number of proton is less in an atom, other forces can hold the protons together and atom becomes stables. But as the ratio of protons to neutrons is increases, protons cannot be held firmly together and hence form an unstable nucleus. What is Radioactivity?

Muller (1890-1967) demonstrates that X rays can induce mutations X rays had been used in clinical medicine and for experimental purposes in physics since their discovery in 1895. But their value to genetics research only became apparent when Hermann Muller, an American geneticist, employed radioactivity to produce point mutations in the fruit fly Drosophila. Hermann J. Muller©Copyright California Institute of Technology All Rights Reserved Muller was a member of the research team at Columbia University that, under Thomas Hunt Morgan, developed the theory of chromosomal heredity from 1910 to 1915. Like his colleagues, Muller studied mutations and sought to map genes to specific chromosomes. Unlike most other early geneticists, however, Muller was explicitly interested in the physical and chemical nature and operations of genes. As one consequence, Muller designed experiments to test the idea that radioactive particles would affect single genes and lead to point mutations. Beginning in late 1926, while at the University of Texas, Muller subjected male fruit flies to relatively high doses of radiation, then mated them to virgin female fruit flies.• In a few weeks' time Muller was able to artificially induce more than 100 mutations in the resulting progeny—about half the number of all mutations discovered in Drosophila over the previous fifteen years.• Some mutations were deadly. The effects of other mutations were visible in offspring but not lethal. As Muller interpreted his results, radioactive particles passing through the chromosomes randomly affected the molecular structure of individual genes, rendering them either inoperative or altering their chemical functions. Muller's 1927 paper, \"\"Artificial Transmutation of the Gene,\"\" only gave a sketchy account of his data."

Although Pep is now at Manchester City, I think we can still analyze or try to understand how he got his Bayern playing. Bayern and Barca are two different clubs playing in two different leagues which play different types of football. Pep understood that even before he got onto the job. He also knows that at Barca, he had players like Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta who are playing in the way he wants as they were from La Masia and most of what he asks of them to do, they do it instinctively without much thought. Players coming out of La Masia also know how they need to play when called up on for the first team. At Bayern, they don't have a structure in a similar way. So, Pep knows this and acknowledges he has an entirely different challenge. Pep believes in three components."

This is a generalization of course; for some crops in some areas, alternative forms of pest control are still used heavily, such as the burning of the grass fields that we experience in late summer and fall in the Willamette Valley. The \"\"first generation\"\" pesticides were largely highly toxic compounds, such as arsenic and hydrogen cyanide. Their use was largely abandoned because they were either too ineffective or too toxic. The \"\"second generation\"\" pesticides largely included synthetic organic compounds. (' Synthetic' here means made by humans -- not naturally occurring, while 'organic' means carbon containing, not to be confused with the popular use of \"\"organic\"\" as in \"\"organic farming\"\". ) DDT CASE STUDY: The first important synthetic organic pesticide was a chlorinated hydrocarboon (or organochlorine): dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane or DDT. DDT was discovered in 1939 by a Swiss chemist Paul Muller. In its early days, it was hailed as a miracle for a number of reasons: It was toxic to wide range of insect pests ( \"\"broad spectrum\"\") yet appeared to have low toxicity to mammals. It was persistent (didn't break down rapidly in the environment) so that it didn't have to be reapplied often."

"text": "Home > GCSE Physics > Radioactivity Radioactive Half Life The release of radiation by unstable nuclei is called radioactive decay. This process occurs naturally and cannot be influenced by chemical or physical processes. The release of radiation is also a random event and overtime the activity of the radioactive material decreases. It is not possible to predict when an individual nucleus in a radioactive material will decay. But it is possible to measure the time taken for half of the nuclei in a radioactive material to decay. This is called the half life of radioactive material or radioisotope. Half life can be defined as the time taken for the number of nuclei in a radioactive material to halve. It can also be defined as the time taken for the count rate of a sample of radioactive material to fall to half of its starting level. The count rate is measured by using an instrument called a Geiger-Muller tube over a period of time. A Geiger-Muller tube detects radiations by absorbing the radiation and converting it into an electrical pulse which triggers a counter and is displayed as a count rate. ["

Morgan Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/S0042-6989 (98)00243-0 Get rights and content Under an Elsevier user license open archive Abstract The veridical perception of collinearity between two separated lines is distorted by two parallel lines in the space between them (the Poggendorff illusion). This paper tests the conjecture that the perception of collinearity of separated lines is based on a two-stage mechanism. The first stage encodes the orientation of the virtual line between the proximal terminators of the target lines. The second stage compares this virtual orientation with the orientation of the target lines themselves. Errors can and do arise from either process. Two parallel lines, abutting against the target lines, cause the classical Poggendorff misalignment bias. The magnitude of the bias is increased by Gaussian blur, as is a version of the Poggendorff figure containing only acute angles. In the obtuse-angle figure, on the other hand, blur decreases the misalignment bias. We argue that the acute- and obtuse-angle biases depend upon different mechanisms, and that the obtuse-angle effect is more related to the obtuse-angle version of the Muller–Lyer illusion, which is also decreased by blur. If observers attempt to match the orientation of the virtual line between the two line intersections in the Poggendorff figure they make an error in the same direction as the Poggendorff bias."

The water buffalo milk, from which the Woodstock company produces a premium mozzarella cheese and yogurt, may provide a boost to the sagging economics of milk production. Independent photo/Trent Campbell By JOHN S. Mc CRIGHTSALISBURY — If the wildest dreams of Woodstock Water Buffalo Co. founder David Muller come true scores of Addison County farmers in the not too distant future will look up from their milking and see the large, corkscrew horns of a water buffalo jutting out from the animal in front of him. The dream isn’t as farfetched as it may sound. Muller’s company already has a herd of more than 500 water buffalo, a distant relation of the Holstein and a native to Southeast Asia. And the company is milking 200 of the exotic animals — 100 right here in Addison County. One of Muller’s goals is to provide Vermont dairy farmers, struggling to get by selling cow’s milk at $12 a hundredweight, with alternative livestock that is no more expensive to raise and produces milk used in high-return, value-added products. Woodstock Water Buffalo is using its unusual milk to produce cheese and yogurt that sells at several times the price of traditional cows-milk products. “We’re like the people who are doing organic foods,” Muller said. “ Creating premium products is the next step up."

It was first discovered by Owen in his 1849 book/monograph “On parthenogenesis or the successive production of procreating animals from a single ovum”. As an aside, I want to go a bit into Owen’s work and legacy, and how parthenogenesis played into them. He is often viewed as being a creationist – this is false. He was a critic of natural selection, but he has always thought in terms of evolution. His observations on the cyclic parthenogenesis of aphids (see later) led him to believe that new species can arise within a few generations and not the eons of time that Darwin stressed. His hypotheses did not depend on external factors, such as natural selection, but on the potential inside the organism (developmental possibilities). This is, of course, wrong, and the fact that he infused his science with his own pantheistic religious beliefs did not help his legacy and has led to the view of him being a creationist. Just to make it clear, he did believe in evolution and a natural origin of species, but not in the way Darwin had expressed it. Parthenogenesis literally means a virgin birth; in biological terms, it simply means that an unfertilised ovum will give rise to a fully-functioning adult."

Each culture can believe that it is better and each person can consider himself to be better than his fellow man. Fascism is used to categorize censorship and oppression. Ones who take away freedom from others can be considered fascist."

"text": "Mussolini’s long road to his rise of Power began in the years of the First World War with the involvement of Italy on behalf of its Allies. A couple of years later, the year of 1919 saw Mussolini suffer a humiliating defeat in the November elections of 1919. His entrance into parliament however then came in the later elections of 1921 after the formation of the Blackshirts – also known as, the Squadristi, who were used to break up strikes and riots caused amongst the people of Italy due to Italy’s poor economic and political instability, in which Italy suffered a rise of 500% inflation and high rates of unemployment. It was later established at the end of Mussolini’s rise to power, compared to Germany’s Hitler, Mussolini’s road to Dictatorship took longer than of Hitler’s. There were, in all, seven different groups of which Mussolini had to gain support of in order for him to carry out a successful dictatorship. The groups were, Catholic Church, Industrialists, the Working Class population, his own Fascist Party, the King and his Nobles, Other political parties, trade unions and Mussolini’s need to portray Italy as a high profile country to other countries such as the U. S. A, Britain and France. It was vital for Mussolini to gain support of certain groups because they were the key to his rise in power. The first group Mussolini had to gain the support from was his own party, the Fascists themselves. Mussolini used several methods to control them, their behaviour and their views and support for Mussolini. Mussolini gave members of the National Fascist Party titles, of which made them feel like they were high profile and different to the rest of the population."

Over 600,000 were killed, and the economy and political environments remained unstable. In 1922, Benito Mussolini seized power with the support of King Vittorio Emannuelle III, who feared a revolution. From 1925 on, Mussolini slowly gained more and more power until Italy became a totalitarian state enforced by a secret police organization. His dictatorship influenced fascist leaders who came on the scene later such as Adolf Hitler and Francisco Franco. In 1929, Mussolini gained favors with the Vatican by granting it the status of an independent state. Italy invaded Abyssinia. The League of Nations imposed totally useless sanctions on Italy as a punishment, depriving Italy items such as aluminum (which was among Italy's chief exports), camels, and mules which she did not need. Britain attempted to threaten Italy with military action, but Mussolini correctly guessed that Britain was not ready for war, and called the bluff. Italy also got away lucky after Britain failed to realize by denying the Italians access to the Suez Canal the Abyssinian campaign could have been made difficult for the Italians, if not ending it."

NB this is as expanded version of a special edition of Totalitarian Movements and Political Religions, Vol. 7, No.2, 2006. PART ONE: APPROACHING CHARISMA Chapter 1 The Concept and Theory of Charismatic Leadership Roger Eatwell Abstract The term ‘charisma’ was introduced into the modern academic vocabulary by Max Weber to refer to a form of exceptional leadership. The approach undoubtedly can offer major insights into the relationship of leadership to society and decision-making. However, Weber’s belief that at times of crisis charismatic leaders could inspire a mass-affective following misses major dimensions of support for European fascist movements. Nevertheless, charisma remains a useful analytical concept if it is reconfigured to focus on: i) ‘coterie charisma’, namely the leader’s appeal to an inner core; ii) ‘centripetal charisma’, namely the ability of leaders to attract a broad swathe of support by becoming the personalisation of politics; and iii) ‘cultic charisma’, namely the creation of a sense of almost religious aura around a leader, especially the holder of the main state office. The term ‘charisma’ was first used by St. Paul to describe the gifts of divine grace which manifest themselves in forms such as prophecy and healing. In the late nineteenth century, it was picked up by Rudolf Sohm as part of his historical analysis of the way by which inspired individuals transformed Christianity into the charismatic Catholic Church, bearing the mission of redemption. Since the early twentieth century, the term has been especially associated with the German sociologist, Max Weber, who in many ways anticipated the challenges to liberal democracy which were to emerge from new forms of political movement and dictatorial regime in the post-1918 era."

At the time, these countries all had many colonies of their own in Africa. He was determined to prove that his fascist regime had created a \"\"new Italy\"\".

The Kingdom of Italy ( Italian: Regno d'Italia) was a state which existed from 1861—when King Victor Emmanuel II of Sardinia was proclaimed King of Italy —until 1946—when a constitutional referendum led civil discontent to abandon the monarchy and form the modern Italian Republic. The state was founded as a result of the unification of Italy under the influence of the Kingdom of Sardinia, which can be considered its legal predecessor state. Italy declared war on Austria in alliance with Prussia in 1866 and received the region of Veneto following their victory. Italian troops entered Rome in 1870, thereby ending more than one thousand years of Papal temporal power. Italy entered into a Triple Alliance with Germany and Austria-Hungary in 1882, following strong disagreements with France about the respective colonial expansions. However, even if relations with Berlin became very friendly, the alliance with Vienna remained purely formal as the Italians were keen to acquire Trentino and Trieste, corners of Austria-Hungary populated by Italians."

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."

"text": "Hitler & Mussolini's Rise to Power Comparison Hitler and Mussolini made use of the great depression during the 1930’s to rise to power. 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."

Mussolini was born in Dovia di Predappio, Italy, on July 29, 1883, the son of a socialist blacksmith. He embraced Socialism as a teenager and as a young man became a schoolteacher and socialistjournalist in northern Italy. In 1902 he moved to Switzerland and earned a living as a laborer. He returned to Italy in 1904 to perform his required military service and then resumed his teaching. His wanderlust, however, resumed.

"text": "Hitler and Mussolini: A comparative analysis of the Rome-Berlin Axis 1936-1940Stephanie Hodgson, Jul 29 2011, 14109 views This content was written by a student and assessed as part of a university degree. E-IR publishes student essays & dissertations to allow our readers to broaden their understanding of what is possible when answering similar questions in their own studies. Nazi Germany and fascist Italy have often been depicted as congruent cases [1] during the period in discussion in which their supposed inherent links formed the basis of their relationship. These inherent links include their common ideology, albeit there are minor differences, [2] their similar foreign policy, expansionist aims and finally common enemies – Britain, France and communist Russia. Furthermore, they shared parallel leadership principles and referred to as Duce and Führer (both mean leader), and additionally both held great hostility towards parliamentary democracy. [ 3] Although these factors hold a great deal of truth and certainly some weight, it is difficult to argue that the Rome-Berlin axis was established purely on this basis. Promotional Content This paper will predominately argue that Germany and Italy had little in common but common enemies and more significantly the shared aim of both wanting to assert themselves as revisionist powers of the interwar period. Thus, their alliance was one of more convenience than anything else in that both powers were aware that they needed an ally within Europe as a means of achieving their ambitious and aggressive foreign policies. Therefore, they manipulated their superficial common links to establish a relationship that was based on the considerations of Realpolitik. [ 4] The relationship between Italy and Germany, and also the Mussolini–Hitler relationship is complex and intricate; both nations even flirted with the enemies at times as a means of maximising their own political interests."

"text": "Abyssinia Abyssinia 1935 to 1936The crisis in Abyssinia from 1935 to 1936 brought international tension nearer to Europe – it also drove Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy together for the first time. The affair once again highlighted the weakness of the League of Nations. Like Britain and France, Italy had joined in the so-called “Scramble for Africa” in the C19. However, the prize territories had been conquered by others and Italy was left with unimportant areas such as Eritrea and Somaliland. The Italians had attempted to expand in eastern Africa by joining Abyssinia to her conquests, but in 1896, the Italians were heavily defeated by the Abyssinians at the Battle of Adowa. This defeat had an enormous impact on Italian pride. The loss of 6000 men against a backward army from Abyssinia was difficult for the Italian people to comprehend. However, this defeat did not stop politicians in Italy planning for a new attempt to take over Abyssinia. The desire to show the world how powerful Italy was became the prime motivation of Mussolini. He saw himself as a modern day Julius Caesar who would one day be in charge of a vast Italian empire as had existed in the days of Caesar."

"text": "\"In Memoriam Natalie Cole Died From Heart Failure Caused by Lung Disease: New Details By Esther Lee January 8, 2016Natalie Cole performs on stage at Serious Fun Children's Network's New York City Gala at Avery Fisher Hall, Lincoln Center, on March 2, 2015, in New York City. Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images Natalie Cole's family revealed the Grammy-winning singer's cause of death on Thursday, January 7, saying she passed away from heart failure induced by lung disease. Cole died on Thursday, December 31, at age 65. The “Miss You Like Crazy\"\" singer, the daughter of the legendary Nat \"\"King\"\" Cole, underwent a kidney transplant in 2009, after battling drug issues and ensuing hepatitis. PHOTOS: Celebrity Deaths in 2015: Stars We've Lost In a statement to the Associated Press on Thursday, her family said: \"\" [Cole] responded well to pulmonary arterial hypertension-specific agents over many years, during which she performed many concerts world-wide, but eventually succumbed to intractable right heart failure, an outcome that unfortunately commonly occurs in this progressive disorder. \"\" Cole detailed her struggle with substance abuse — include cocaine, heroin and alcohol — in her 2000 memoir Angel on My Shoulder. In 1983, the singer checked into rehab. Decades later, in 2008, she noted that her hepatitis C was brought about by her drug use. Her family confirmed Cole's death in a statement to Us Weekly last week, saying: \"\"Natalie fought a fierce, courageous battle, dying how she lived … with dignity, strength and honor. \"\" PHOTOS: Stars Gone Too Soon Many celebrities grieved for the \"\"Unforgettable\"\" singer and took to social media to remember her. \"\""

The two reunited in 2002. ( courtesy caroline clarke)At 37, Caroline Clarke was a successful journalist and happily married mother of two who thought she knew everything she needed to know about her life. Then, in a stunning moment, she discovered her grandfather was the unforgettable Nat King Cole. Almost as shocking was the realization that as a teenager, she’d unsuspectingly spent a night under the luxurious roof of her biological grandmother’s penthouse apartment at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Boston, as a guest of the daughter of the late, beloved singer. The girl, in truth her aunt, was one of her best friends in college. Clarke suddenly remembered the odd questions that Cole’s imperious widow, Maria, had asked her unwitting 17-year-old self that night. When was her birthday? What was the name of the Manhattan hospital where she was born? Had she been adopted immediately as an infant?"

Kate Bush) on You Tube\"\" Don't Give Up \"\" is a song written by English rock musician Peter Gabriel and recorded as a duet with Kate Bush for Gabriel's sixth solo studio album So (1986). The single version was released as the second single from the album in the UK in 1986 and as the fifth single in the United States in 1987. It spent eleven weeks in the UK Top 75 chart in 1986, peaking at #9. Gabriel drew inspiration from Dorothea Lange 's images such as this, her most famous: \"\"Migrant Mother\"\". The song was inspired by the Depression-era photographs of Dorothea Lange, showing poverty-stricken Americans in dust bowl conditions. Gabriel saw Lange's images in a 1973 book titled In This Proud Land. He felt that a song based on this was wholly appropriate to difficult economic conditions in England under Margaret Thatcher. [ 1] He composed lyrics within a situation about a man whose unemployment causes stress in his domestic relationship. The verses, sung by Gabriel, describe the man's feelings of isolation, loneliness and despair; the choruses, sung by Bush, offer words of hope and encouragement."

This marked Natalie’s first big break in her acting career, although she previously appeared in Casanova and Rebus. The Tudors series one is out on DVD now. There canât be much suspense in the role, everyone knows sheâs getting her head chopped off. Yes, itâs the Titanic syndrome. You know how the story ends, but it was a joy to play her. Sheâs infamous in history and yet thereâs not a great deal of documentation about the woman herself. Youâve got the great thing of everyone knowing who Anne Boleyn is, but youâve also got carte blanche to do what you want with it. Have you become an expert on 16th-century history? Iâve read quite a few books."

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention made a sweeping recommendation official amid growing concern about the estimated 2 million boomers infected with the virus, which can cause cirrhosis and liver cancer. The advice was published in the latest Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. CDC officials say most of these people don't know they are infected and will develop liver disease unless they get treatment that clears the virus from the body. The agency decided to target people born from 1945 through 1965 because they are five times more likely than other adults to carry the hepatitis C virus. About 1 in 30 boomers is infected and thousands die each year of cirrhosis and liver cancer. One reason so many boomers are infected is that more than a few used injected drugs much earlier in their lives, says Dr. John Ward, who runs the CDC's viral hepatitis division. \"\" We had an epidemic of hepatitis C transmission in the '70s and '80s, and we're now seeing an epidemic of hepatitis C disease,\"\" he says The virus hepatitis C virus can be transmitted through sharing needles."

Night Shyamalan's suspense thriller was about superheros. The main character was: David Dunn (Bruce Willis), a Philadelphia security guard, with wife Audrey (Robin Wright) and young son Joseph (Spencer Treat Clark)In the film's opening, Dunn miraculously walked away unhurt as the only survivor of a major train wreck (on a train bound from NYC to Philadelphia) in which 131 passengers were killed. Dunn was approached by the film's other major character: Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson), a mysterious and fragile man, aka \"\"Mr. Glass\"\"; an eccentric comic-book collector/dealer at a store named \"\"Limited Editions\"\"; he suffered from a genetic bone disorder requiring frequent hospitalizations Dunn was told a far-fetched theory by Price, that he was, in reality, his exact opposite:\"\"However unreal it may seem, we are connected, you and I. We're on the same curve, just on opposite ends. \"\" Price believed that Dunn was \"\"unbreakable' - an incarnation of a modern-day invincible super-hero with special supernatural powers and paranormal crime-fighting abilities - on the opposite end of the spectrum from him. Although disbelieving, Dunn began to be convinced of his superhero abilities, including his special gift of ESP and the ability to sense people who committed immoral acts (i.e., a jewel thief, a racist hate-criminal, a rapist). He saved some members of a family held hostage by a sadistic torturer wearing an orange suit. However, his main \"\"kryptonite\"\" weakness was water, and he nearly drowned as a youth. In the film's surprise, a preposterous twist ending, Dunn met with Price in the back office of his comic-book store. Dunn sensed Price's evil deeds when shaking hands with him and there was a flash."

"text": "Fact: The Parent Trap Has the Best Soundtrack Ever Amelia Wedemeyer Oh My Disney Contributor Share This Here's why The Parent Trap has the best soundtrack ever!Since its release nearly 20 years go, the 1998 version of The Parent Trap has stayed a constant in my list of all-time favorite films. The updated version of the 1961 classic encapsulates everything great about my childhood—Leo Di Caprio, summer camp, and the possibility that girls like myself could pull off nearly unthinkable feats. While this film truly has it all—talented actors, a great script, and a legendary director—it’s the soundtrack that takes it to the next level for me. Instead of trying to be hip, The Parent Trap soundtrack combines classics with some obscure yet fitting songs—all of which create a musical accompaniment that doesn’t try too hard and ends up being cool anyway. That is why I bring you, in no particular order, a list of the songs from the soundtrack (that were actually played during the film) and why they fit perfectly with each scene: Related Post The Tarzan Soundtrack: An Appreciation Post“L-O-V-E” by Nat King Cole Right away, we can tell The Parent Trap starring Dennis Quaid, Natasha Richardson, and Lindsay Lohan is going to be a first-rate film. This Nat King Cole classic sets the tone early, and that tone is an instant Disney classic. “The Happy Club” by Bob Geldof You might think a newer movie like this would try and capitalize on the hot, current music of its respective year of release, but you’d be wrong. The Parent Trapbrings out an early 90’s Bob Geldof song, “The Happy Club.” And the jam—in the truest sense—is wonderfully matched to the camp setting with it’s energetic na-na-nas and upbeat melody. “Soulful Strut” by Young-Holt Unlimited How could you watch this scene and not want to reenact an awesome BFF handshake with your super-cool butler?"

Page Six confirmed the “Unforgettable” singer passed away from congestive heart failure Thursday evening at Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. “It is with heavy hearts that we bring to you all the news of our Mother and sister’s passing,” her family said in a statement to Page Six. “ Natalie fought a fierce, courageous battle, dying how she lived…with dignity, strength and honor.

In 2008, she was diagnosed with hepatitis C and received chemotherapy for treatment, reports People. She later developed kidney trouble which ultimately led to dialysis three times a week. The next year, Cole underwent a kidney transplant. Although her health would improve over the years, Cole canceled a string of concert dates this past December and a future concert in February 2016."

That is, unless you count the flashes that he and the others saw when they closed their eyes. Caused by cosmic rays passing through their eyes.

The indented text is my original answer to this question, but it hardly applies in light of the new evidence I have found. Thanks to all commenters and to Stephen particularly, for his efforts to set the record straight. I haven't found any reference to it in his books, but I might have missed something. The bottom rung of the ladder was about 32\"\" off the ground, he had a firm grip with both hands on the railing, he hopped off the rung with his left foot suspended in the air, and landed in a stable position without rocking either way. Even in 1/6 gravity, my guess is he landed on both feet. He didn't step down, he jumped down. Edit: I have recently discovered some old news footage with Walter Cronkite and a live broadcast from the Moon. Neil was the first to exit the LM and Buzz Aldrin was second. Neil stepped down left foot first onto the landing strut, and Buzz was the one who hopped down."

For many it was an unforgettable experience and sparked hopes of a bright future for human space travel. What Armstrong experienced that day on the moon has been marked by controversy over a two minute period of radio silence that surprised viewers and fueled many theories over what really happened. According to alleged leaked government documents and photographs, Armstrong did not just see the barren landscape televised to millions, but something much more significant. According to NASA insiders and an alleged ham radio transmission intercept, what Armstrong witnessed that day changed his life, and led to the eventual abandonment of the manned lunar missions."

"text": "\"From a very early age Neil Armstrong was fascinated with flight. He was playing with toy airplanes at 3, and by the time he was 5 or 6 Armstrong went on his first airplane ride in a Ford Tri-Motor. By 8 or 9 he said he was building model airplanes out of balsa wood. And by the time he was 15 he had saved enough money working at a drug store to begin taking flying lessons at the small airport near his home in Wapakoneta, Ohio. Armstrong's first lessons were in an Aeronca Champ, a two-seat airplane with a 65-horsepower engine. His career as a test pilot began at the age of 16, sort of. With his student pilot license in hand, he started flying small airplanes at the airport after the engines had been overhauled by the local mechanic. \"\" That's the way I built up flight time, by doing slow time after top cylinder overhauls,\"\" Armstrong told biographer James Hansen. After those initial flying experiences, Armstrong would gain experience rapidly, first in the Navy, where he progressed through fighter jets, and then at the National Advisory Council on Aeronautics (NACA), which would become NASA, where he flew numerous propeller-, jet- and rocket-powered aircraft. At the age of 38 in 1969 his flight experience was put to the ultimate test as he manually flew and landed the Eagle spacecraft on the surface of the moon."

Years later, Mr. Armstrong says that now that Mr. Gorsky is dead, he can tell the real story. He says that when he was a child, he overheard his neighbor, a Mr. Gorsky, being told by his wife that when the kid next door walks on the moon…that’s when Mr. Gorsky will get sex. Some versions say that’s when he’ll get oral sex. The Truth: It’s a nifty story, but not true. Neil Armstrong denied it and NASA transcripts did not include any record that Neil Armstrong made a reference to a Mr. Gorsky during his lunar excursion. NASA regards the story to as a joke. For more information: Official NASA transcripts of the Apollo 11 moon walk A real example of the e Rumor as it has appeared on the Internet: On July 20, 1969, commander of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module, Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon. His first words after stepping on the moon, “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind”, were televised to Earth and heard by millions.

Via lsda.jsc.nasa.gov The Apollo 11 flight is remembered as a giant leap for mankind, a moment when the world came together to watch Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong hop, skip, and jump across the lunar surface. But the glamour and excitement of the moon landing overshadowed the more menial aspects of the eight-day flight mission surrounded it, days filled with NASA-mandated rest periods, science experiments, and, of course, eating. The food aboard Apollo 11 represented the height of late 1960s technology, as much as the Lunar Landing Module or the spacesuits worn on moonwalks. Tubes of apple sauce and stew were ditched for meals that could be heated by the astronauts and eaten with real silverware. The Apollo crew even dined on thermo-stabilized cheddar cheese spread and hot dogs during the moon mission, bringing at least a bit of America in July to the sterile flight craft. And yes, there was bacon — foreshadowing the current bacon craze, the first meal eaten by man on the moon was none other than bacon cubes, coated with gelatin to combat crumbs. Apollo 11 food had to satisfy some major requirements we never have to worry about here on Earth. Pre-flight body weight had to be maintained, something that had proved mysteriously difficult on previous missions. The graph, right from the Autumn 1969 edition (paid article) of the journal Nutrition Today, illustrates the dramatic weight loss suffered by Apollo astronauts."

"text": "Why Neil Armstrong Got to Be the First to Step on the Moon July 16, 2014 Matt Blitz 19 comments On July 20th, 1969, with “one small step,” Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon. Since that date forty five years ago, the moon landing has been the subject of intense study and historical analysis. From what Armstrong actually said with his first step to if the American flags the astronauts planted are still there, mankind’s first rendezvous with the moon has captured the world’s attention in a way few other things have. Despite this, there are still several noteworthy facts that have remained obscure after all these years. Allow us to bring just a few to (moon) light: Neil Armstrong was chosen to be the first person on the moon due to the basic structural design of a part of the Eagle. Out of a group of 29 astronauts that trained for the Apollo mission to the moon, only three were chosen when the final announcement was made in January of 1969. Neil Armstrong, Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, and the oft forgotten Michael Collins became the official crew of Apollo 11. Immediately, attention turned to which crew member – Armstrong or Aldrin — would be the first to walk on the moon (Collins was the command module pilot and, therefore, was ineligible). Even though both men were going to walk on the moon, it was a great honor to be the first. In fact, the question was asked at the press conference and the response was that it had yet to be decided."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Astronomy & Space Why did Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong go to the moon? Like was it for fame, money, to discover something, why did they actually go? Detailed answer if you can1 following 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Both started out as pilots; Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin and Neil Armstrong were both involved in the military, and wished to continue after their tours. Neil flew the X15 in the early 60's, and both he & Buzz applied to NASA when more astronauts were needed. Both flew on Gemini; Neil was reported to be an exceptional pilot - and his skills were put to the test during his flight - a malfunctioning thruster caused his Gemini capsule to begin spinning at nearly 1 revolution per *second* during his flight; He cut power to the thruster, and used his re-entry system to slow the tumble. Buzz Aldrin was an expert in orbital mechanics; his thesis was written on how spacecraft can alter and boost their orbits in flight. They were paired for the Apollo 11 mission - and, at the time of scheduling, it was unclear *which* Apollo mission would be landing on the moon.... it was found that the Russians were pushing to be first - so the Apollo schedule was accelerated. ( Some blame the Apollo 1 fire on \"\"Go Fever\"\", in fact - but it may have happened anyway.) Apollo 8 was the first manned moonshot in December, 1968, but it wasn't scheduled until Apollo 10, originally. After the schedule was changed, NASA slated Apollo 8 to go to the moon (with no lunar module), Apollo 9 to test the LM in Earth orbit, and then Apollo 10 was to test landing and abort operations in lunar orbit, opening up Apollo 11 to be the first chance at a landing.

"text": "Neil Armstrong, who died on Saturday, at the age of eighty-two, was by all accounts a reticent man, yet he said many things on July 20, 1969, that have entered into the public consciousness—lingering in the minds of those who heard them on the radio and television, and living, for those born long after he first stepped out onto the surface of the moon that day, in a place of envy and awe. When the lunar module, named the Eagle, touched down, following moments of radio silence that terrified the folks back in mission control, he relayed: “Houston: Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.” Later, as he made his way out of the lunar module (or LM), he described his progress in banal terms that, because of where they were coming from and what they conveyed, rose to the level of magic: “I’m going to step off the LM now.” And then he issued what is among the most famous proclamations of the last century—a jubilant counterbalance to F. D. R.’s “Day of Infamy” speech and a capstone to J. F. K.’s declaration that “we choose to go to the moon”—a statement that Armstrong had composed and prepared just hours earlier, in between the more pressing business of operating space equipment, according to Armstrong’s biographer, James Hansen: “That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind. ”In the wake of Armstrong’s death, there may be some discrepancy in how the phrase will be rendered, just as in the ensuing years, there has been controversy as to what exactly Armstrong said as he lighted out from the ladder, becoming the first member of mankind to stand on a celestial body other than earth. It’s been good fodder for years to note that the famous quotation, beamed to a significant fraction of the world’s population in real time, is just a bit off. “ Man” and “mankind” are synonymous in Armstrong’s formulation, since he’s missing the modifier “a” in front of “man” to draw the distinction. Armstrong would later claim that he said the “a,” and that it got lost, as it were, in transmission. ( Linguists and scientists have argued both sides.)"

"text": "Did Neil Armstrong have a religious experience on the moon? Posted by Neil Armstrong in 1969Has Neil Armstrong converted to Islam? That’s the rumor making the rounds in Egypt, Malaysia andd Indonesia. Armstrong, of course, was the first human to set foot on the lunar surface — the commander of the Apollo XI mission. But is there any truth to his having a deeply religious experience while on the moon? Armstrong uttered the famous words “That”s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.” Even he’s not sure whether he said the unheard [a] — if he forgot or if it got garbled over the radio. But a few years ago, Armstrong participated in the Global Leadership Forum in Malaysia. The Star Malaysia newspaper reported on some unexpected questions he fielded from the audience. Is it true, he was asked, that as soon as he stepped onto the moon, he heard the Moslem call of Ezan — the call to prayer — the words “Allah-hu-akber?”"

"text": "\"Neil Armstrong smiles inside the Lunar Module on July 20, 1969NASA/Newsmakers. I always hoped I would be alive to see the first man walk on the moon. I was, and I got to write about it. I never thought I also would be alive to see the last man land on the moon. I covered Neil Armstrong when he first stepped foot on the lunar surface, and even helped shape what history remembers as his first words (more on that later). I covered all the other lunar landings up until the last, Apollo 17, for both Reuters and the Philadelphia Inquirer. It never occurred to me at the time that the America that sent men to the moon would shrink back onto itself and that the spirit that pushed the frontier was a temporary aberration. Now we fire school teachers to save a dime. Advertisement Armstrong died last week at 82. Buzz Aldrin, who went with him to the surface, and Michael Collins, who circled above them in the Apollo command module, are still alive."

On May 15, 1963 he shot into space in a Mercury capsule for a 22 orbit journey around the world. During the final orbit, Major Gordon Cooper told the tracking station at Muchea (near Perth Australia) that he could see a glowing, greenish object ahead of him quickly approaching his capsule. The UFO was real and solid, because it was picked up by Muchea's tracking radar. Cooper's sighting was reported by the National Broadcast Company, which was covering the flight step by step; but when Cooper landed, reporters were told that they would not be allowed to question him about the UFO sighting. Major Cooper was a firm believer in UFOs. Ten years earlier, in 1951 he had sighted a UFO while piloting an F-86 Sabrejet over Western Germany. They were metallic, saucer-shaped discs at considerable altitude and could out-maneuver all American fighter planes. Major Cooper also testified before the United Nations: \"\"I believe that these extra-terrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet from other planets...

Via lsda.jsc.nasa.gov The Apollo 11 flight is remembered as a giant leap for mankind, a moment when the world came together to watch Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong hop, skip, and jump across the lunar surface. But the glamour and excitement of the moon landing overshadowed the more menial aspects of the eight-day flight mission surrounded it, days filled with NASA-mandated rest periods, science experiments, and, of course, eating. The food aboard Apollo 11 represented the height of late 1960s technology, as much as the Lunar Landing Module or the spacesuits worn on moonwalks. Tubes of apple sauce and stew were ditched for meals that could be heated by the astronauts and eaten with real silverware. The Apollo crew even dined on thermo-stabilized cheddar cheese spread and hot dogs during the moon mission, bringing at least a bit of America in July to the sterile flight craft. And yes, there was bacon — foreshadowing the current bacon craze, the first meal eaten by man on the moon was none other than bacon cubes, coated with gelatin to combat crumbs. Apollo 11 food had to satisfy some major requirements we never have to worry about here on Earth. Pre-flight body weight had to be maintained, something that had proved mysteriously difficult on previous missions. The graph, right from the Autumn 1969 edition (paid article) of the journal Nutrition Today, illustrates the dramatic weight loss suffered by Apollo astronauts."

NASA Glenn Research Center (NASA-GRC)by John P. Millis, Ph.

His action was the culmination of years of research and development, success and failure sustained by both the U. S. and then-Soviet Union in the race to the Moon. Early Life Neil Armstrong was born August 5, 1930 on a farm in Wapakoneta, Ohio. As a youth, Neil held many jobs around town, especially at the local airport. He was always fascinated with aviation. After starting flying lessons at the age of 15, he got his pilot's license on his 16th birthday, before he had earned a driver's license. Armstrong decided to pursue a degree in aeronautical engineering from Purdue University before committing to serving in the Navy. In 1949, Armstrong was called to Pensacola Naval Air Station before he could complete his degree."

Carol Armstrong donated the priceless items to the Smithsonian Museum after she found the bag following her husband’s death in 2012, and discovered that the iconic spaceman had kept mementos which were supposed to be left on the moon. The space artefacts were later confirmed to be the real deal, after Mrs Armstrong contacted the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum, where the items will eventually go on display. This camera, found in the bag, documented the landing of Apollo 11 (Picture: NASA)For more than 40 years between the Apollo 11 mission and his death, Armstrong made no mention of the bag, which was hidden in a closet in his Ohio house, Gizmodo has reported. Advertisement The authenticity of the items was confirmed after Alan Needdell, curator of the Air and Space Museum, enlisted the help of experts from the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal to go through records. Artefacts found in the bag, known as a Mc Divitt purse, include the extremely valuable 16mm movie camera that recorded Apollo 11’s descent to the surface of the moon, and an optical alignment sight used to assist the crew in docking manoeuvres. Utility Lights with Power Cables found in the Mc Divitt Purse (Picture: NASA)Almost 20 incredible artefacts from the mission, including helmet straps and tools, were taken aboard the Lunar Module for the landing. There are even records of Neil Armstrong talking about the purse to fellow moon-lander Buzz Aldrin. Speaking after the pair returned to the command module, he said of the purse: ‘That [is] just a bunch of trash that we want to take back — LM parts, odds and ends’."

"text": "\"From a very early age Neil Armstrong was fascinated with flight. He was playing with toy airplanes at 3, and by the time he was 5 or 6 Armstrong went on his first airplane ride in a Ford Tri-Motor. By 8 or 9 he said he was building model airplanes out of balsa wood. And by the time he was 15 he had saved enough money working at a drug store to begin taking flying lessons at the small airport near his home in Wapakoneta, Ohio. Armstrong's first lessons were in an Aeronca Champ, a two-seat airplane with a 65-horsepower engine. His career as a test pilot began at the age of 16, sort of. With his student pilot license in hand, he started flying small airplanes at the airport after the engines had been overhauled by the local mechanic. \"\" That's the way I built up flight time, by doing slow time after top cylinder overhauls,\"\" Armstrong told biographer James Hansen. After those initial flying experiences, Armstrong would gain experience rapidly, first in the Navy, where he progressed through fighter jets, and then at the National Advisory Council on Aeronautics (NACA), which would become NASA, where he flew numerous propeller-, jet- and rocket-powered aircraft. At the age of 38 in 1969 his flight experience was put to the ultimate test as he manually flew and landed the Eagle spacecraft on the surface of the moon."

Neil Alden Armstrong was born on August 5,1930 in Wapakoneta, Ohio. He holds a degree in aeronautical engineering from Purdue University and a masters degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Southern California. From 1949 to 1952, Armstrong was a naval aviator. Upon leaving military service, he became a test pilot. While serving as a test pilot, he was chosen to be a member of the astronaut corps. Though he was on the backup crew of many previous flights, his first space flight occurred in 1966 aboard Gemini 8. During this flight, he and fellow astronaut David Scott successfully performed the first docking in space between two vehicles. In July of 1969, Neil Armstrong was the commander of Apollo 11, America's first attempt to land a manned vehicle on the Moon."

That’s the rumor making the rounds in Egypt, Malaysia andd Indonesia. Armstrong, of course, was the first human to set foot on the lunar surface — the commander of the Apollo XI mission. But is there any truth to his having a deeply religious experience while on the moon? Armstrong uttered the famous words “That”s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.” Even he’s not sure whether he said the unheard [a] — if he forgot or if it got garbled over the radio. But a few years ago, Armstrong participated in the Global Leadership Forum in Malaysia. The Star Malaysia newspaper reported on some unexpected questions he fielded from the audience. Is it true, he was asked, that as soon as he stepped onto the moon, he heard the Moslem call of Ezan — the call to prayer — the words “Allah-hu-akber?”"

Schmitt/NASAEugene A. Cernan, the commander of the Apollo 17 lunar-landing mission in 1972 and the last human to walk on the moon, died on Monday in Houston. He was 82. His death was announced by NASA. A ferocious competitor with a test pilot’s reckless streak, Mr. Cernan (pronounced SIR-nun) rocketed into space three times, was the second American to drift weightless around the world on a tether, went to the moon twice and shattered aerospace records on the Earth and the moon. He also slid down a banister on a visit to the White House and once crashed a helicopter in the Atlantic while chasing a dolphin. Skimming the lunar surface in a rehearsal for the first manned landing, he erupted with salty language heard by millions when his craft briefly spun out of control. But he made spacewalks and romps over the lunar surface look routine, and in a way they were. Three and a half years after Neil A. Armstrong took mankind’s first step onto the lunar surface in 1969, Mr. Cernan, a Navy captain and one of the nation’s most experienced astronauts, landed with a geologist-astronaut near the Sea of Serenity in the final chapter of the Apollo program, America’s audacious venture to fulfill President John F. Kennedy’s 1961 pledge to put Americans on the moon."

"text": "8 Myths About Neil Armstrong’s Flight to the Moon By admin – August 22, 2013Posted in: Human Exploration With the anniversary of the passing of one of the most iconic figures in mankind’s space exploration program, it affords us an excuse to re-examine the short but history-making space mission we all know today as Apollo 11. Landmark events in human exploration and scientific discovery can often capture the human imagination to such a degree that certain aspects become enveloped in a cloud of mystery from which bizarre interpretations eventually emerge. Neil Armstrong’s July 1969 lunar voyage was no exception. : The first human steps on the Moon undoubtedly became the story of the century, though some Apollo 11 myths question whether they were fact or fiction. ( Image credit: Rufus330Ci via Wikipedia)Since the Apollo 11 spacemen re-entered society after their lunar voyage, the quieter aftermath seems to have provided a fertile pool for the spawning of many myths concerning the space mission, ranging from the farcical to the speculatively ingenious. From across this spectrum let’s examine some of the more intriguing. Did Neil Armstrong convert to Islam? Firstly there was the Islamic conversion myth. Not long after the first moonwalk crew returned home did a story emerge that Neil Armstrong had become a Muslim. According to the myth, while in space both Aldrin and Armstrong had heard a voice which Armstrong later discovered had been chanting the ‘Adhan’ (the traditional Muslim call to prayer)."

"text": "\"NASA Langley Research Center's Contributions to the Apollo Program More than twenty years after the first manned landing on the moon, President Kennedy's commitment to the lunar mission sounds as bold as it ever did: American astronauts should fly a quarter of a million miles, make a pinpoint land-ing on a strange planet, blast off it and return home safely after an eight-day voyage through space. When Kennedy challenged the nation to risk this incredible journey, the only United States manned spaceflight up to that time had been Alan B. Shepard's 15-minute suborbital excursion in Mercury capsule, Freedom 7. NASA was not exactly sure how the lunar mission should be made at all, let alone achieved in less than ten years' time. Photograph above is Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, Lunar Module pilot, on the lunar surface by Astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, commander of the Apollo 11 mission, 1969. Answering President Kennedy's challenge and landing men on the moon by 1969 required the most sudden burst of technological creativity, and the largest commitment of resources ($24 billion), ever made by any nation in peacetime. At its peak, the Apollo program employed 400,000 Americans and required the support of over 20,000 industrial firms and universities. This NASA Fact sheet pays tribute to the contributions NASA Langley Research Center made to the first manned lunar landing, made July 20, 1969, by Apollo 11 astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, commander; Michael Collins, Command Module pilot; and Edwin E. \"\"Buzz\"\" Aldrin, Lunar Module pilot. Photograph to left is the crew of Apollo 11. Left to right: Neil A.

It reached Earth's natural satellite in approximately 36 hours. Luna I was a flyby mission only, and though it passed close to the moon, it did not enter its orbit. The longest trip to the moon took more than 13 months, accomplished by the European Space Agency's SMART-1 lunar probe in 2003, using a slow but extremely fuel efficient ion engine."

The bottom rung of the ladder was about 32\"\" off the ground, he had a firm grip with both hands on the railing, he hopped off the rung with his left foot suspended in the air, and landed in a stable position without rocking either way. Even in 1/6 gravity, my guess is he landed on both feet. He didn't step down, he jumped down.

"text": "Why Neil Armstrong Got to Be the First to Step on the Moon July 16, 2014 Matt Blitz 19 comments On July 20th, 1969, with “one small step,” Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon. Since that date forty five years ago, the moon landing has been the subject of intense study and historical analysis. From what Armstrong actually said with his first step to if the American flags the astronauts planted are still there, mankind’s first rendezvous with the moon has captured the world’s attention in a way few other things have. Despite this, there are still several noteworthy facts that have remained obscure after all these years. Allow us to bring just a few to (moon) light: Neil Armstrong was chosen to be the first person on the moon due to the basic structural design of a part of the Eagle. Out of a group of 29 astronauts that trained for the Apollo mission to the moon, only three were chosen when the final announcement was made in January of 1969. Neil Armstrong, Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, and the oft forgotten Michael Collins became the official crew of Apollo 11. Immediately, attention turned to which crew member – Armstrong or Aldrin — would be the first to walk on the moon (Collins was the command module pilot and, therefore, was ineligible). Even though both men were going to walk on the moon, it was a great honor to be the first. In fact, the question was asked at the press conference and the response was that it had yet to be decided."

"text": "Nero and the Burning of Rome Nero Nero is perhaps the most infamous of all Roman rulers, and is seen as one of the villains of the ancient world. Emperor of Rome from AD 54 to AD 68 Nero’s reign has been associated with extravagance, oppression and brutality. Very few surviving ancient sources give favourable impression of him, he is said to have had his mother, adoptive brother and first wife Octavia executed, and, most famously of all, played his fiddle while the ancient city of Rome was burning to the ground. Some ancient sources blame the Emperor himself for starting the great fire of Rome in AD 64, and then afterwards blaming the Christians for the act. Is there any truth behind this story? And how reliable is the picture we have today of Nero as a deranged, sadistic tyrant? Building up a detailed picture of Nero’s life and reign is problematic as no contemporary sources have survived. Details of the Emperor’s life are based mainly on the Annals 12-16 of Tacitus (c AD 56 – c AD 117), Suetonius’ Life of Nero (AD 110) and the Roman History, Books 61-63, of Dio Cassius’ ( c AD 150 – c AD 235). Nero was born Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus on December 15, AD 37, in Antium, near Rome, the son of Cnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus, a member of an ancient noble family. Through his mother Agrippina, he was a great-grandson and the only surviving male descendant of Caesar Augustus, the first Roman Emperor."

Born in Lugdunum in Gaul (modern-day Lyon, France), to Drusus and Antonia Minor, he was the first Roman Emperor to be born outside Italia. Claudius was considered a rather unlikely man to become emperor. He was reportedly afflicted with some type of disability, and his family had virtually excluded him from public office until his consulship with his nephew Caligula in AD 37. This infirmity may have saved him from the fate of many other Roman nobles during the purges of Tiberius' and Caligula's reigns; potential enemies did not see him as a serious threat to them. His very survival led to his being declared emperor after Caligula's assassination, at which point he was the last adult male of his family. Despite his lack of political experience, Claudius proved to be an able administrator and a great builder of public works. His reign saw an expansion of the empire, including the conquest of Britain. He took a personal interest in the law, presided at public trials, and issued up to twenty edicts a day; however, he was seen as vulnerable throughout his rule, particularly by the nobility."

"text": "\"The aim of this essay is to investigate the persecution of the early Christian Church by the ruling Roman authorities. The period being considered commences with the first distinct Roman persecution of Christians in 64 CE., by the emperor Nero, and closes with the implementation of the 'Edict of Milan' in 313 CE., signed by Constantine and Licinius. However, it is not intended that this essay should provide a mere chronological coverage of two hundred and fifty years of early Church history. A variety of factors are to be considered; such as the background to, reasons for, and responses to the persecutions meted out by the Church's main antagonists. It will be helpful to this examination to inquire as to the prevalent attitude towards Christianity and Judaism, prior to the persecution of the Church. Firstly, a precis of Judaism's relationship with the Roman State. Judaism, despite being monotheistic, had been recognised as ' religio licita ' by Julius Caesar and had been awarded privileges by him and by subsequent rulers. The Jews were permitted to have civil jurisdiction over their own territory; thus making them almost a state within the larger Roman state."

"text": "\"Photos.com/Thinkstock According to his biographer Suetonius, the Roman emperor Nero \"\"practiced every sort of obscenity,” ranging from incest to cruelty to animals to homicide. Nero was such a bad guy, in fact, that he may very well have been the first Antichrist in the Christian tradition. But did Nero actually fiddle while Rome burned? In strictest terms, no. In slightly less strict terms, probably not. In very loose terms, perhaps so. Ancient tradition has it that Nero was so moved by the sight of the great fire that swept across the capital of his empire in the summer of 64 CE that he climbed to the top of the city walls and declaimed from a now-lost epic poem concerning the destruction of Troy. It is said that he wept copiously while reciting lines describing the conflagration that the Greeks put to the fallen city of Troy. Suetonius tells us that Nero wore theatrical garb to fit the occasion, while the later historian Dio Cassius added the detail that Nero dressed in “cithara player’s garb.” The cithara was a forerunner of the lute, which in turn gave rise to the modern guitar."

Megalomaniac people are extremely narcissistic and overconfident in such unjustified ways and they often feel that they can adapt circumstances and impossible geographic factors in their favor. Those who suffer from this disease are usually heads of states like the emperor of Rome Nero who played music as he watched Rome burn and Adolf Hitler who believed that the Aryan race was gifted above all other races. Hitler thus believed he must rule the world so he mobilized armies and sparked wars that killed more than 50 million people across Europe. Also read: Sidelining of Tamim and sudden appearance of ex-PM Hamad bin Jassim One of the most famous Arabs who suffered from megalomania is Saddam Hussein who only finished a war to engage in another and whom no one dared oppose. There’s also Muammar Qaddafi who crowned himself as the king of kings in Africa and the leader of Africans. Qaddafi squandered Libya’s wealth on causes which the Libyans have nothing to do with only because he felt that he was the last “rebel” whom God sent to support rebels across the world. Hamad bin Khalifa surrounded himself with a group of opportunists and imposters, which include Arab leftists, and members of the Muslim Brotherhood. They convinced him that he was born to lead. They convinced him that the Arab world is waiting for him to spark the Arab Spring, topple regimes and let the winds of change rock Arab thrones so he assigns rulers and Doha can become like Damascus was for the Umayyads or Baghdad was for the Abbasids."

Over 250 acres and 1,750 buildings were in ruin, which was nearly one-third of the city. With so many homeless, something had to be done quickly. The main factors contributing to the blaze had been buildings constructed tightly together and wooden building materials creating fuel for the flames.

His name means \"\"shining one\"\" or \"\" henbane god\"\" and he is associated with heat and healing. In other words, he was an unlicensed medical practitioner, and as such he tended to take a lot of heat because of his healing activities. Just kidding. Actually, heat -- specifically hyperthermia -- is in fact a potentially and extremely effective healing methodology. Most diseases (e.g. cancers) are “cold diseases” and things such as high fevers (that tend to very effectively trigger the immune system) can greatly assist in the job of killing off such diseases."

Here is a timeline of some of the major events in the history of Ancient Rome. 753 BC - The city of Rome is founded. Legend has it that the twin sons of Mars, the god of war, named Romulus and Remus founded the city. Romulus killed Remus and became ruler of Rome and named the city after himself. Rome was ruled by kings for the next 240 years. 509 BC - Rome becomes a republic. The last king is overthrown and Rome is now ruled by elected officials called senators."

ANSWER: The Bible does not tell us the exact time or manner of the apostle Paul's death, and secular history has yet to provide us with any definitive information. However, evidence highly suggests the apostle Paul's death occurred after his fifth missionary journey ended in 67 A. D. Paul was likely beheaded by the Romans, under Emperor Nero, sometime around May or June of 68 A. D. Nero himself died by suicide on June 9th of the same year. Christian tradition also has Paul being beheaded in Rome around the mid 60s A. D. during the reign of Nero. Most Bible dictionaries and some commentaries can give us details on the traditions surrounding Paul's death. \"\" Concerning the time, place, and manner of his death, we have little certainty. It is commonly believed that, when a general persecution was raised against the Christians by Nero, about A. D. 64, under pretence that they had set Rome on fire, both St. Paul and St. Peter then sealed the truth with their blood; the latter being crucified with his head downward; the former being beheaded, either in A.

Brief Overview of the Roman Empire and Nero The Roman Empire beyond Italy was divided into about 40 provinces (territories), with each province having its own governor who kept order and collected taxes for Rome. He was either appointed by the emperor or named by the Senate. During the first century A. D. the Roman Empire was near its peak with a population of 50-60 million. This was more than 1/5 of the world's population at that time. Jesus lived and died during the period known in Roman history as the Pax Romana or the \"\"Peace of Rome\"\". It was an amazing time in history when the risen Jesus empowered His church to go into all the world to preach the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

This monarch reigned for the space of five years, with tolerable credit to himself, but then gave way to the greatest extravagancy of temper, and to the most atrocious barbarities. Among other diabolical whims, he ordered that the city of Rome should be set on fire, which order was executed by his officers, guards, and servants. While the imperial city was in flames, he went up to the tower of Macaenas, played upon his harp, sung the song of the burning of Troy, and openly declared that 'he wished the ruin of all things before his death.' Besides the noble pile, called the Circus, many other palaces and houses were consumed; several thousands perished in the flames, were smothered in the smoke, or buried beneath the ruins. This dreadful conflagration continued nine days; when Nero, finding that his conduct was greatly blamed, and a severe odium cast upon him, determined to lay the whole upon the Christians, at once to excuse himself, and have an opportunity of glutting his sight with new cruelties. This was the occasion of the first persecution; and the barbarities exercised on the Christians were such as even excited the commiseration of the Romans themselves. Nero even refined upon cruelty, and contrived all manner of punishments for the Christians that the most infernal imagination could design. In particular, he had some sewed up in skins of wild beasts, and then worried by dogs until they expired; and others dressed in shirts made stiff with wax, fixed to axletrees, and set on fire in his gardens, in order to illuminate them. This persecution was general throughout the whole Roman Empire; but it rather increased than diminished the spirit of Christianity."

An equestrian by birth, Sejanus rose to power as prefect of the Roman imperial bodyguard, known as the Praetorian Guard, of which he was commander from AD 14 until his death in AD 31. While the Praetorian Guard was formally established under Emperor Augustus, Sejanus introduced a number of reforms which saw the unit evolve beyond a mere bodyguard, into a powerful and influential branch of the government involved in public security, civil administration and ultimately political intercession; these changes would have a lasting impact on the course of the Principate. During the 20s, Sejanus gradually accumulated power by consolidating his influence over Tiberius and eliminating potential political opponents, including the emperor's son Drusus Julius Caesar. When Tiberius withdrew to Capri in AD 26, Sejanus was left in control of the administration of the empire. For a time the most influential and feared citizen of Rome, Sejanus suddenly fell from power in AD 31, the year his career culminated with the consulship.

Here, historian Sean Lang examines eight of the bloodiest emperors of Ancient Rome October 2, 2015 at 9:04 am We all know about the Roman Emperors, don’t we? Mad, bad and decidedly dangerous to know. Who can forget Peter Ustinov’s Nero in the 1951 epic Quo Vadis?, or John Hurt’s tortured and murderous Caligula in the BBC’s I, Claudius? In fact, as historians point out (to anyone who will listen), many of the emperors on the list below were competent – even gifted – administrators, and the sources for some of the more lurid stories about them are not always above suspicion of exaggeration or invention. And some of the crimes that most shocked their contemporaries, like a penchant for performing in public, would not necessarily offend us so much today. Some emperors, like Nero or Domitian, have passed into history as models of erratic, paranoid tyrants; others, like Diocletian, were able administrators, providing good government (unless you happened to be a Christian, in which case you were in great peril). Even under the worst emperors Rome continued to function, but involvement in public life could become a decidedly dangerous business.1Tiberius (ruled AD 14–37)Tiberius was the successor to Augustus, though Augustus did not particularly want Tiberius to succeed him, and it was only the untimely death of the emperor’s grandsons Gaius and Lucius, and Augustus’s decision to exile their younger brother, Agrippa Postumus, that put Tiberius in line for the imperial throne. Tiberius was a gifted military commander and respected the authority of the senate."

He was given the name Gaius Octavius Thurinus, his cognomen possibly commemorating his father's victory at Thurii over a rebellious band of slaves -Due to the crowded nature of Rome at the time, Octavius was taken to his father's home village at Velletri to be raised -Octavius only mentions his father's equestrian family briefly in his memoirs -His paternal great-grandfather was a military tribune in Sicily during the Second Punic War -His grandfather had served in several local political offices -His father, also named Gaius Octavius, had been governor of Macedonia -His mother, Atia, was the niece of Julius Caesar -In 59 BC, when he was four years old, his father died -His mother married a former governor of Syria, Lucius Marcius Philippus -Philippus claimed descent from Alexander the Great, and was elected consul in 56 BC -Philippus never had much of an interest in young Octavius -Because of this, Octavius was raised by his grandmother (and Julius Caesar's sister), Julia Caesaris -In 52 or 51 BC, Julia Caesaris died -Octavius delivered the funeral oration for his grandmother -From this point, his mother and stepfather took a more active role in raising him -He donned the toga virilis four years later, and was elected to the College of Pontiffs in 47 BC -The following year he was put in charge of the Greek games that were staged in honor of the Temple of Venus Genetrix, built by Julius Caesar -According to Nicolaus of Damascus, Octavius wished to join Caesar's staff for his campaign in Africa, but gave way when his mother protested -In 46 BC, she consented for him to join Caesar in Hispania, where he planned to fight the forces of Pompey, Caesar's late enemy, but Octavius fell ill and was unable to travel -At the time Caesar was killed on the Ides of March (15 March) 44 BC, Octavius was studying and undergoing military training in Apollonia, Illyria -Rejecting the advice of some army officers to take refuge with the troops in Macedonia, he sailed to Italia to ascertain whether he had any potential political fortunes or security -After landing at Lupiae near Brundisium, he learned the contents of Caesar's will, and only then did he decide to become Caesar's political heir as well as heir to two-thirds of his estate -Caesar, having no living legitimate children under Roman law,had adopted his grand-nephew Octavius as his son and main heir -Upon his adoption, Octavius assumed his great-uncle's name, Gaius Julius Caesar -Although Romans who had been adopted into a new family usually retained their old nomen in cognomen form -To make a successful entry into the upper echelons of the Roman political hierarchy, Octavian could not rely on his limited funds -After a warm welcome by Caesar's soldiers at Brundisium, Octavian demanded a portion of the funds that were allotted by Caesar for the intended war against Parthia in the Middle East -This amounted to 700 million sesterces stored at Brundisium, the staging ground in Italy for military operations in the east -A later senatorial investigation into the disappearance of the public funds made no action against Octavian, since he subsequently used that money to raise troops against the Senate's arch enemy, Mark Antony -Octavian made another bold move in 44 BC when without official permission he appropriated the annual tribute that had been sent from Rome's Near Eastern province to Italy -Arriving in Rome on 6 May 44 BC, Octavian found the consul Mark Antony, Caesar's former colleague, in an uneasy truce with the dictator's assassins; they had been granted a general amnesty on 17 March, yet Antony succeeded in driving most of them out of Rome -This was due to his \"\"inflammatory\"\" eulogy given at Caesar's funeral, mounting public opinion against the assassins -Octavian began to make common cause with the Optimates, the former enemies of Caesar -In September, the leading Optimate orator Marcus Tullius Cicero began to attack Antony in a series of speeches portraying him as a threat to the Republican order -With opinion in Rome turning against him and his year of consular power nearing its end, Antony attempted to pass laws that would lend him control over Cisalpine Gaul, which had been assigned as part of his province, from Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus, one of Caesar's assassins -Octavian meanwhile built up a private army in Italy by recruiting Caesarian veterans, and on 28 November won over two of Antony's legions with the enticing offer of monetary gain -In the face of Octavian's large and capable force, Antony saw the danger of staying in Rome, and to the relief of the Senate, he fled to Cisalpine Gaul, which was to be handed to him on 1 January -Cicero also defended Octavian against Antony's taunts about Octavian's lack of noble lineage and aping of Julius Caesar's name; he stated \"\"we have no more brilliant example of traditional piety among our youth\"\" -In a meeting near Bologna in October 43 BC, Octavian, Antony, and Lepidus formed a junta called the Second Triumvirate -This explicit arrogation of special powers lasting five years was then supported by law passed by the plebs, unlike the unofficial First Triumvirate formed by Gnaeus Pompey Magnus, Julius Caesar, and Marcus Licinius Crassus -The triumvirs then set in motion proscriptions in which 300 senators and 2,000 equites, allegedly were branded as outlaws and deprived of their property and, for those who failed to escape, their lives -On 1 January 42 BC, the Senate posthumously recognized Julius Caesar as a divinity of the Roman state, Divus Iulius. Octavian was able to further his cause by emphasizing the fact that he was Divi filius, \"\"Son of God\"\" -Antony and Octavian then sent 28 legions by sea to face the armies of Brutus and Cassius, who had built their base of power in Greece -After two battles at Philippi in Macedonia in October 42, the Caesarian army was victorious and Brutus and Cassius committed suicide -Mark Antony would later use the examples of these battles as a means to belittle Octavian, as both battles were decisively won with the use of Antony's forces -In addition to claiming responsibility for both victories, Antony also branded Octavian as a coward for handing over his direct military control to Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa instead -While in Egypt, Antony had been engaged in an affair with Cleopatra and had fathered three children with her -Aware of his deteriorating relationship with Octavian, Antony left Cleopatra; he sailed to Italy in 40 BC with a large force to oppose Octavian, laying siege to Brundisium -This new conflict proved untenable for both Octavian and Antony, however -Their centurions, who had become important figures politically, refused to fight due to their Caesarian cause, while the legions under their command followed suit -Meanwhile in Sicyon, Antony's wife Fulvia died of a sudden illness while Antony was en route to meet her -Fulvia's death and the mutiny of their centurions allowed the two remaining triumvirs to effect a reconciliation -In early 31 BC, while Antony and Cleopatra were temporarily stationed in Greece, Octavian gained a preliminary victory when the navy under the command of Agrippa successfully ferried troops across the Adriatic Sea -While Agrippa cut off Antony and Cleopatra's main force from their supply routes at sea, Octavian landed on the mainland opposite the island of Corcyra (modern Corfu) and marched south -Trapped on land and sea, deserters of Antony's army fled to Octavian's side daily while Octavian's forces were comfortable enough to make preparations -In a desperate attempt to break free of the naval blockade, Antony's fleet sailed through the bay of Actium on the western coast of Greece -It was there that Antony's fleet faced the much larger fleet of smaller, more maneuverable ships under commanders Agrippa and Gaius Sosius in the battle of Actium on 2 September 31 BC -Antony and his remaining forces were spared only due to a last-ditch effort by Cleopatra's fleet that had been waiting nearby -Octavian pursued them, and after another defeat in Alexandria on 1 August 30 BC, Antony and Cleopatra committed suicide; Antony fell on his own sword and was taken by his soldiers back to Alexandria where he died in Cleopatra's arms -Cleopatra died soon after, reputedly by the venomous bite of an asp or by poison -Having exploited his position as Caesar's heir to further his own political career, Octavian was only too well aware of the dangers in allowing another to do so and, following the advice of Arius Didymus that \"\"two Caesars are one too many\"\", he ordered Caesarion—Julius Caesar's son by Cleopatra—to be killed, while sparing Cleopatra's children by Antony, with the exception of Antony's older son -After Actium and the defeat of Antony and Cleopatra, Octavian was in a position to rule the entire Republic under an unofficial principate, but would have to achieve this through incremental power gains, courting the Senate and the people, while upholding the republican traditions of Rome, to appear that he was not aspiring to dictatorship or monarchy -Years of civil war had left Rome in a state of near lawlessness, but the Republic was not prepared to accept the control of Octavian as a despot -At the same time, Octavian could not simply give up his authority without risking further civil wars among the Roman generals, and even if he desired no position of authority whatsoever, his position demanded that he look to the well-being of the city of Rome and the Roman provinces -Octavian's aims from this point forward were to return Rome to a state of stability, tra"

"text": "by Donald L. Wasson published on 17 April 2013Marcus Cocceius Nerva was Roman emperor from 96 to 98 CE and his reign brought stability after the turbulent successions of his predecessors. In addition, Nerva helped establish the foundations for a new golden era for Rome which his chosen successor Trajan would bring to full fruition. The assassination of the Roman emperor Domitian in 96 CE brought an end to the short-lived Flavian Dynasty, a dynasty started by his father Vespasian in 69 CE, the year of the four emperors. Since Domitian left no surviving heirs, the throne of the empire was left vacant. In order to avoid possible civil unrest, violence or a civil war, a temporary or quick fix appointment was necessary, at least until a better candidate could be found. The answer to the problem came in the form of a man already ill and old even by Roman standards, Nerva. Nerva was an ideal candidate, one who presented a sharp contrast to his predecessor. Domitian had not been groomed to become an emperor, as his older brother Titus had been. However, the sudden death of Titus in 81 CE brought Domitian to the throne. Although he proved himself a capable administrator, he saw the role of the emperor as one vested with absolute power and the Senate was all but stripped of its authority."

Rome had begun expanding shortly after the founding of the Republic in the 6th century BC, though it did not expand outside of the Italian Peninsula until the 3rd century BC. [ 6] Civil war engulfed the Roman state in the mid 1st century BC, first between Julius Caesar and Pompey, and finally between Octavian and Mark Antony. Antony was defeated at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC. In 27 BC the Senate and People of Rome made Octavian imperator (\"\"commander\"\") thus beginning the Principate, the first epoch of Roman imperial history usually dated from 27 BC to 284 AD; they later awarded him the name Augustus, \"\"the venerated\"\". The success of Augustus in establishing principles of dynastic succession was limited by his outliving a number of talented potential heirs: the Julio-Claudian dynasty lasted for four more emperors— Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero —before it yielded in 69 AD to the strife-torn Year of Four Emperors, from which Vespasian emerged as victor. Vespasian became the founder of the brief Flavian dynasty, to be followed by the Nerva–Antonine dynasty which produced the \"\" Five Good Emperors \"\": Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius and the philosophically inclined Marcus Aurelius."

He also sleeps with his sister, organises elaborate orgies and embarks on a fruitless invasion of Britain before meeting an appropriate end.

Shortly afterward, Macro (Guido Mannari), the head of the Praetorian Guards, appears to tell the young man that his great uncle (Tiberius) demands that he report at once to the Island of Capri, where he has been residing for a number of years with close friend, Senator Nerva (John Gielgud), Claudius (Giancaro Badessi), a dim-witted relative, and Caligula's younger stepbrother, Gemellus (Bruno Brive), Tiberius' favorite. Fearing assassination, Caligula is afraid to leave, but his beloved sister Drusilla (Teresa Ann Savoy) convinces him to go."

It stars Malcolm Mc Dowell, Teresa Ann Savoy, Helen Mirren, Peter O'Toole, John Steiner and John Gielgud. It is the only feature film produced by the men's magazine Penthouse. Producer Bob Guccione, the magazine's founder, intended to produce an explicit pornographic film with a feature film narrative and high production values. He also cast Penthouse Pets as extras in unsimulated sex scenes filmed during post-production by himself and Giancarlo Lui. Guccione hired screenwriter Gore Vidal to draft the film's script and Tinto Brass to direct the film. Brass extensively altered Vidal's original screenplay, leading Vidal to disavow the film. The final screenplay focuses on the idea that \"\"absolute power corrupts absolutely\"\". Brass and Vidal disagreed over Guccione's use of unsimulated sexual content, which Brass refused to film. Because the producers did not allow Brass to edit the film, they changed its tone and style significantly and added hardcore sex scenes not filmed by Brass, thus turning Caligula into a pornographic drama that disregarded the director's intentions to present the film as a political satire."

Antony & Cleopatra What did Augustus accomplish? Antony & Cleopatra Augustus Who was Antony? Questions: - What was the Romans' lifestyle like in the 1st Century? - What did the Roman Emperors accomplish in the 1st Century? He was Rome's first emperor, because he turned it from a republic into an Empire. The government was corrupt and was no longer able to deal with pressing issues. He ended all sources of argument amongst Romans, and therefore brought the Pax Romana, which brought peace and prosperity to the vast majority of Romans. 31 BC - 14 AD - Antony saw himself as the political heir of Julius Caesar, but due to Julius Caesar's sudden assassination, Augustus was named as heir instead - Augustus inherited Julius Caesar's legions, fame, and fortune and became rivals with Antony. - Antony made an uneasy alliance with Augustus, and temporarily moved to Egypt with his lover Cleopatra."

"text": "\"Dio Chrysostom Q334457Dio Cocceianus of Prusa (c. 40 - after 112; also known as Chrysostom, \"\"goldvoice\"\"): Greek politician and philosopher, and -by some definitions- one of the first representatives of the Second Sophistic. Dio was born in Prusa in Bithynia (modern Bursa in Turkey). His father appears to have been, at least in part, a moneylender, because on his death bed, he left an estate to his children to which 400,000 denarii was owed. Dio's maternal grandfather had once been a wealty man too, but had spent too much money on public buildings. An emperor had restored his fortune. Dio's family was one of the overspenders that were to ruin Bithynia during the reign of the emperor Trajan. Oeuvre Like every rich Greek or Roman, young Dio was trained as a rhetorician: it was imperative for everyone embarking upon a public career to be able to speak in public. There were three types of oratory:juridical speeches (is the act we are talking about lawful? ); political addresses (is this policy useful? ); the occasional speech (e.g., at a funeral or wedding, praising or condemning what is good or bad or beautiful or ugly)."

Roman emperor could use some help. Please research the article's assertions. Whatever is credible should be sourced, and what is not should be removed. Although most rulers of ancient Rome were not emperors, the term Roman emperors has become the accepted name for the various kings, first citizens and variously-titled autocrats who ran the place from Julius Caesar onwards. The term \"\"emperor\"\" derives from the Latinimperator and from the Roman emperor's role as Rome's supreme military commander (even if in the actual campaigns, field commands were often delegated to particular generals). The history of the Roman Empire is often divided into the early Principate, when the emperor was expected to be the first among equals (\"\"primus inter pares\"\") and the later Dominate (when emperors were not even expected to keep up republican appearances). The individual Roman emperors were a varied lot, ranging from the wise and thoughtful (Marcus Aurelius) to the cruel but competent (Augustus, Diocletian, Justinian) to the insane and tyrannical (pretty much everyone else). It is difficult to judge exactly how bad a given emperor may or may not have been. [ notes 1] Most died as a result of assassination, and there is considerable motivation to make the ruler look as bad as possible post-mortem."

An equestrian by birth, Sejanus rose to power as prefect of the Roman imperial bodyguard, known as the Praetorian Guard, of which he was commander from AD 14 until his death in AD 31. While the Praetorian Guard was formally established under Emperor Augustus, Sejanus introduced a number of reforms which saw the unit evolve beyond a mere bodyguard, into a powerful and influential branch of the government involved in public security, civil administration and ultimately political intercession; these changes would have a lasting impact on the course of the Principate. During the 20s, Sejanus gradually accumulated power by consolidating his influence over Tiberius and eliminating potential political opponents, including the emperor's son Drusus Julius Caesar. When Tiberius withdrew to Capri in AD 26, Sejanus was left in control of the administration of the empire. For a time the most influential and feared citizen of Rome, Sejanus suddenly fell from power in AD 31, the year his career culminated with the consulship. Amidst suspicions of conspiracy against Tiberius, Sejanus was arrested and executed, along with his followers.

A nuclear thermal rocket is a proposed spacecraft propulsion technology. In a nuclear thermal rocket a working fluid, usually liquid hydrogen, is heated to a high temperature in a nuclear reactor, and then expands through a rocket nozzle to create thrust. In this kind of thermal rocket, the nuclear reactor's energy replaces the chemical energy of the propellant 's reactive chemicals in a chemical rocket. The thermal heater / inert propellant paradigm as opposed to the reactive propellants of chemical rockets turns out to produce a superior effective exhaust velocity, and therefore a superior propulsive efficiency, with specific impulses on the order of twice that of chemical engines. The overall gross lift-off mass of a nuclear rocket is about half that of a chemical rocket, and hence when used as an upper stage it roughly doubles or triples the payload carried to orbit. [ citation needed]A nuclear engine was considered for some time as a replacement for the J-2 used on the S-II and S-IVB stages on the Saturn V and Saturn I rockets. Originally \"\"drop-in\"\" replacements were considered for higher performance, but a larger replacement for the S-IVB stage was later studied for missions to Mars and other high-load profiles, known as the S-N. Nuclear thermal space tugs were originally planned as one component of the Space Transportation System, taking payloads from low Earth orbit to higher orbits, the Moon, and other planets. Robert Bussard proposed the single-stage-to-orbit \"\"Aspen\"\" vehicle using a nuclear thermal rocket for propulsion and liquid hydrogen propellant for partial shielding against neutron back scattering in the lower atmosphere.

"text": "by Donald L. Wasson published on 25 May 2013Trajan or Marcus Ulpius Traianus, was Roman Emperor from 98 to 117 CE. Known as a benevolent ruler, his reign was noted for public projects which benefitted the populace such as improving the dilapidated road system, constructing aqueducts, building public baths and extending the port of Ostia. Trajan was also a highly successful general and won three major conflicts against the Dacians and in the East, resulting in the Roman Empire reaching its greatest size up to that date. After safely escaping the Praetorian Guard mutiny, the ailing Roman Emperor Nerva began to question his own mortality and realized the urgency to name a successor. Without any children of his own, he recognized his only option was to adopt. The choice was not a difficult one. He named Marcus Ulpius Traianus - better known as Trajan - the recently named governor of Upper Germany as his “son.” On January 28, 91 CE Nerva died a natural death and Trajan was quickly named emperor of the Roman Empire by the Senate, the second of those who would become known as the Five Good Emperors. The new emperor was born on September 18, 53 CE in Italica (Seville) in the Roman province of Hispania, becoming the first emperor born outside of Italy as his family had its origins in northern Italy. He came from a family with a very impressive military reputation."

But do these analysts even know what they're talking about? Today, we're taking one high-profile Wall Street pick and putting it under the microscope... I love my Roku. Last year, I cut the cord, ditching my cable TV subscription and all the usurious rate hikes, taxes, and nickel-and-diming fees that went along with it. In exchange, I got a single monthly charge, an easily readable bill, and a fast-booting Roku device to manage all my entertainment needs. So yes, I love my Roku -- but I don't love Roku ( NASDAQ: ROKU) stock. And as it turns out, neither does Citigroup. Roku equipment is simple -- but valuing a profitless stock is hard.

"text": "Amazon.com Inc. ( AMZN) shares breached $1,000 in after-hour trading as the company reported its Q3 2017 earnings. In over 20 years since its initial public offering (IPO), the Amazon stock was not always the hot commodity that it today. When Amazon first went public in 1997, its stock was priced at just $18 per share. From that modest beginning, the online retail giant has seen its stock skyrocket, despite a rocky period during the dot-com crash. In fact, if you had invested just $100 in Amazon's IPO, that investment would have been worth nearly $49,781.62 by close October 26, 2017, not adjusted for reinvested dividends. Hidden Growth It is clear from the figures above that even a modest investment in the company in 1997 would have turned into a healthy contribution to anyone's retirement savings. In fact, the stock has multiplied almost 496 times, using the split-adjusted close of $1.96. To make sense of how a modest $100 investment can grow into such a hefty amount, it helps to understand the mathematics behind one of the most powerful facets of stock market investing: the split. Stock Splits: The Basics A stock split occurs when a company decides to issue additional shares to current shareholders in accordance with the number of shares already owned. A 2:1 split means shareholders receive an additional share for every share they already own."

These events send lots of mixed messages about Netflix as an investment. Should you buy Netflix stock at these prices, despite missing out on a double in just six months?

"text": "\"258613741Netflix raises prices for new subscribers by $1, gives 2-year reprieve to existing subscribers By MICHAEL LIEDTKE Associated Press May 9, 2014 — 12:01pm Text sizeemail Printmore SAN FRANCISCO — Netflix is raising its Internet video prices by $1 per month for new customers and giving its current U. S. subscribers a two-year break from the higher rates. The changes mean anyone signing up for Netflix's video subscription service beginning Friday will pay $9 per month for in the U. S. The old price of $8 per month will continue until May 2016 for Netflix's existing 36 million U. S. subscribers. The price increase, Netflix's first in nearly three years, isn't a surprise. The Los Gatos, California-based company disclosed its plans to raise its rates last month without specifying the precise amount. Netflix Inc. says its needs more money so it can afford to pay for more original programming along the lines of its Emmy award-winning political drama \"\"House of Cards\"\" and critically acclaimed series \"\"Orange Is the New Black.\"\" The emphasis on video that can only been seen on Netflix has become a major drawing card for the company as it strives to create the Internet's equivalent of Time Warner Inc.'s HBO cable network. By delaying the price increase for current subscribers, Netflix hopes to avoid the backlash that it faced in 2011 when it raised its prices by as much as 60 percent. The company lost about 800,000 customers within a few months in an exodus that alarmed investors, causing Netflix's stock to plunge by more than 80 percent in a year. Netflix eventually lured back subscribers and revived its customer growth, lifting its stock to record highs earlier this year. Netflix's stock rose $2.65 to $324.31 in early afternoon trading Friday."

According to Eric Pfanner from The New York Times, one of the biggest media mergers in history–between AOL and Time Warner– was fueled by the concept of convergence. He further states the motivation was the same in the merger between NBC and Comcast.1 Convergence and the joining together of devices, most with a screen that can transmit video, has led to content and advertising being served in a streamlined manner and forced traditional media companies to invest in digital content. Netflix is no exception. But multi-million dollar mergers aside, how do media companies like Netflix adjust to new methods of media delivery and profitable returns in this new world of convergence? Netflix has been trying to answer that question, sometimes successfully, other times, unsuccessfully, for the last 15 years. For older, more traditional media companies, this change of course is not easy. Company infrastructures, business plans and resistance to embrace a digital business has caused several media companies to falter or fail. Netflix was fortunate enough to enter the media market just as the first global truth of convergence was beginning to make an impact. Netflix’s Vision of Converging Media When Reed Hastings started Netflix in 1997, his vision was a world of digital streaming. “"

"text": "\"Netflix is losing more than it expected from the backlash over its recent price hike. The company revised its third-quarter projected U. S. subscriber numbers downward from 25 million to 24 million, according to a letter to shareholders on Thursday. To put this in context, look at Netflix's corresponding numbers from its second quarter shareholder letter (.pdf). Netflix had 24.59 million U. S. subscribers at the end of the second quarter (and only about a million more everywhere else). The company began 2009 with 10 million subscribers, and for two years has shown year-over-year subscriber growth between 26 percent and 64 percent, with profits to match. Netflix's executives thought its price hikes would mean slower subscriber growth for the third quarter only; many customers would switch plans, and it would lose older DVD-only subscribers, but offset them with new streaming ones. It didn't think it might actually lose net customers. Independent analysts were less certain. Netflix's revised numbers are better than these worst-case projections, but close to the middle of the field. The open question is whether Netflix has misread the market by a little or a lot."

Once upon a time, there were VHS rental stores all over the place. Then, most of them were supplanted by the behemoth that was Blockbuster Video. Blockbuster itself eventually faded into obscurity but now one of the companies that helped make that happen, Redbox, appears to be seeing the early stages of the cycle repeating itself once again, only this time it looks like they’ll be the one going the way of the dodo. Outerwall, the parent company that owns Redbox, has announced that their revenue for the fourth quarter of 2015 dropped by 17% as total movie rentals have fallen by nearly a quarter year-over-year. Outerwall admits that this is not an isolated drop. According to Variety, they expect rentals to decline an additional 15%-20% in 2016. They’ll also be reducing the total number of Redbox kiosks by as much as 2,000 units, though this will still leave more that 35,000 of the kiosks in service."

"text": "\"CNET/James Martin Editors' note: On Dec. 14, 2017, the FCC, under a new chairman, voted to roll back the regulations described below. For more on the 2017 action and what it means, see this story: \"\" What you need to know about the FCC's net neutrality repeal . \"\" Two weeks after voting to preserve the open Internet (also referred to as Net neutrality) the Federal Communications Commission finally released a 400 page document detailing the new rules in all their glory. If you haven't been following along, Net neutrality is the idea that all traffic on the Internet should be treated equally. That means your broadband provider, which controls your access to the Internet, can't block or slow down the services or applications you use over the Web. It also means your Internet service provider -- whether it's a cable company or telephone service -- can't create so-called fast lanes that force content companies like Netflix to pay an additional fee to deliver their content to customers faster. Even though most people agree with the basic premise of Net neutrality, the FCC's rules have become a lightning rod for controversy. The reason: The FCC has now reclassified broadband as a so-called Title II telecommunications service under the 1934 Communications Act. That reclassification places broadband providers under the same strict regulations that now govern telephone networks. Broadband providers, like AT&T and Comcast, say Title II allows the FCC to impose higher rates and will discourage them from building or upgrading their networks."

"text": "\"WASHINGTON, D. C. – This Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, FCC Chairman Ajit V. Pai is expected to circulate to his fellow commissioners and make public a draft of a new FCC order widely anticipated to eliminate the “Net Neutrality” rules put in place under the Obama administration. The full commission is scheduled to vote on Pai’s draft order at its Dec. 14 th meeting, and again, the FCC is expected on that date to ratify Pai’s draft order. By making the order to repeal “Net Neutrality” public in advance of the vote, Chairman Pai has instituted a new transparency initiative at the FCC that reverses the policy of the previous chairman, Obama administration FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler who typically refused to make draft orders public prior to the full FCC commission final vote. Left floods FCC with fake comments What is clear from an examination of the public comments from the political left supporting the retention of the Obama “Net Neutrality” rules have flooded the FCC comment space with “Bot-generated,” often foreign-sourced, comments that have generated unrelated, racist, and even violent remarks in high volume. On July 13, 2017, Infowars.com reported that a coalition formed by George Soros, including Internet giants Google, Facebook, Amazon, as well as the salacious extreme-and-abusive-sex website Porn Hub, had flooded the FCC with thousands of “citizen comments,” coming from Russia, of all places, opposing the FCC’s planned repeal of the Obama-era “Net Neutrality” rules. A study by Washington, D. C. information specialist Emprata demonstrated that more than 7.5 million comments opposing the repeal of “Net Neutrality” rules – the largest percentage of comments on any FCC topic, fully 36 percent of all FCC comments – “appear to have been generated by self-described” and “disposable” email domains attributed to Fake Mail Generator.com and with nearly identical language. ”Adjusting the 13 million total comments who opposed repealing “Net Neutrality” rules for “Bot-generated” fake comments, Emprata found the legitimate comments supporting Pai’s move to repeal “Net Neutrality” beat the legitimate comments wanting to keep the Obama-era rules by 61 percent favoring the repeal of Title II Internet governance, versus 38 percent wanting to maintain the “Net Neutrality” rules that would retain Title II governance of the Internet as a telecommunications utility. Among the 7.5 million unverifiable comments in support of the Obama rules, an unusually large number, 1.72 million, were attributed to foreign addresses that Emprata could not verify, with the vast majority of those comments (99.4 percent) opposed to repealing Title II. Emprata found the largest number of foreign comments supporting the Obama-era rules came from Russia, followed by Germany, France, India, and Canada. Obama-era “Net Neutrality” allow Google, Facebook, Twitter censorship Those arguing for the repeal of the Obama-era “Net Neutrality” rules argue Pai’s campaign to end Title II regulation of the Internet is a “noble cause” – a move that does not “kill net neutrality,” but rather reverses the unprecedented power grab of the Obama-era FCC in conjunction with the tech left forces in Silicon Valley, Soros’s Open Society Foundation, and the Ford Foundation."

Two days after Britain and France declared war on Nazi Germany, President Roosevelt issued a proclamation of neutrality and ordered the suspension of munitions sales to all belligerents. But Roosevelt stopped short of asking that Americans remain emotionally neutral in the European conflict. FDR knew that the only chance Britain and France would have to defeat the German Reich was to have ample supplies of weaponry. He immediately began to press Congress to repeal the arms embargo. The request was simple. Allow trade of munitions with belligerent nations on a \"\"cash and carry\"\" basis.

His cartoons were acclaimed and especially controversial during WWII. They usually featured mockeries of foreign leaders, racism or were against isolationism (as this one is). He was heavily against the Neutrality Act of 1935 and believed that the United States needed to enter the war. This material must have been made post 1935 (after the said act was passed) but prior to 1941 (when the United States did enter the war) and would have been published in PM or other paying newspaper. Since this must have taken place after 1935, many Americans, still suffering from the Great Depression, would have supported the idea of creating jobs through the war effort. There are two references in this cartoon, one being the Neutrality Act of 1935 which forbade the transport, distribution or selling of supplies or ammunitions to belligerent nations, which kept the United States out of the war until attack was initiated on Pearl Harbor. This cartoon is speaking out against the Neutrality Act, and thus encouraging the entrance into World War II by the United States. The other reference is the symbol of the \"\"Old Man of the Sea\"\", a Greek myth that revolves around a god who would ride on people until they drowned, keeping them from reaching their destination due to his weight. Dr. Suess is referring to the Neutrality Act of 1935 as the \"\"Old Man of the Sea\"\" which is holding back U. S. boats full of supplies for the Allies from reaching Europe."

"text": "Canadian and American Legislation on Electronic Signatureswith reflections on the European Union Directive John D. Gregory *I. INTRODUCTIONThe earliest legal concerns about electronic transactions have generally arisen from form requirements, or what could be called “medium” requirements, i.e. (apparent) requirements that a particular medium of communication be used for legal effect. The law often demands or presumes the presence of paper. What happens when one takes the paper away? This article considers first the general nature of law reform in electronic commerce, then the nature of signatures, then at how laws in Canada and the United States have handled the question of signatures in paperless transactions, with an eye on European Union parallels. It is important to appreciate the border between legal requirements and prudent business practice. Many transactions are conducted with paper documents not because the law makes people do it that way but because people are accustomed to do it that way, or because it makes sense to do it that way, or because it’s easier to prove that way. The letter X in pencil on a document is capable in law of constituting a signature. Nevertheless most people would not accept a cheque signed only with an X. Where a medium is chosen for prudence and not to satisfy legal requirements, the parties are generally free to choose an electronic medium instead of paper. The concern at that point is to judge the reliability of the electronic documents (as well as their provability.) Most of us do this with less confidence than with paper documents, since we draw on centuries of experience in knowing what to do with writing on paper."

You expect to be in control of your internet experience. When you use the internet you expect Net Neutrality. Net Neutrality is the basic principle that prohibits internet service providers like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon from speeding up, slowing down or blocking any content, applications or websites you want to use. Net Neutrality is the way that the internet has always worked. In 2015, millions of activists pressured the Federal Communications Commission to adopt historic Net Neutrality rules that keep the internet free and open — allowing people to share and access information of their choosing without interference. But right now the internet is in peril. On Dec. 14, 2017, the FCC’s Republican majority approved Chairman Ajit Pai’s plan to gut the Net Neutrality protections."

"text": "\"Home » Classroom The \"\"Cash & Carry\"\" Act of 1939By Brian Gabriel The U. S. Congress passed multiple neutrality acts during the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt. The United States Congress passed a series of Neutrality Acts during the 1930s under the presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in an attempt to maintain neutral status in the European conflicts. The first Neutrality Acts prohibited the sale of arms or the making of loans to belligerent countries. The U. S. Congress passed a significant Neutrality Act in 1937 that allowed trade with other countries under the condition that American ships were not used -- the so-called “cash-and-carry” principle. This policy was renewed in November 1939 with the Neutrality Act of 1939. Origin of Cash-and-Carry The Neutrality Act of 1937 allowed warring an war-prone countries to purchase any goods from the United States except for war materials such as arms. Fighting nations could, however, purchase important wartime resources such as oil from the United States. There was a provision in the act that said the goods had to be transported, or “carried,” on non-American ships. Another provision required that the fighting powers had to pay for the goods with cash. It was referred to as the “cash-and-carry” principle."

"text": "The Moral Dimensions of Properly Evaluating and Defining Suicide By Edward S. Harris , Chowan College Abstract For years our understanding of suicide has been commonly defined, as simply, “the taking of ones own life.” Furthermore the word “suicide” in the western tradition has held a negative connotation; most believe that the use of suicide as a solution to a problem is a cowardly act or the action of someone who is not mentally stable. However, over the last century with the groundbreaking research of Emile Durkeim the definition of suicide has proven insufficient. Tom L. Beauchamp has suggested that in order to fully understand suicide properly, we require a morally neutral definition since many different types of action must be noted as suicide and not all actions in which one takes his/her life are morally reprehensible. Along these lines, I propose that we speak of three kinds of “self-killing”: self-sacrifice, accidental self-destruction, and suicide. Each form of self-killing has different implications for ethics. This will assist us in recognizing what situations amount to suicide and assessing their moral implications. Introduction There are a variety of reasons as to why people part in the behavior of suicide. Some people kill themselves in desperation or in a state of depravity while others end up taking their lives in an act of self-sacrifice. Nonetheless, there is much to be learned when provoking consideration of the question of what exactly is meant by and constitutes as suicide."

As we previously reported, the Fox News falafelist became separated from his former wife Maureen Mc Philmy at some point in 2011, and later went on an apparently corrupt crusade to destroy the career of the Nassau County Police detective she was dating. We have now confirmed that O'Reilly and Mc Philmy have been formally divorced, that she has since married the detective, and that O'Reilly is in the midst of a scorched-earth custody battle—dubbed, appropriately enough, Anonymous v. Anonymous —over the ex-couple's two children. It involves a surreptitious attempt by O'Reilly to undermine his custody arrangement by hiring, as a member of his household staff, the woman he and his ex had agreed on as a neutral arbiter of their disputes. It also involves O'Reilly's attempts to annul his marriage and have Mc Philmy potentially booted from the Catholic Church. Are Bill O'Reilly and His Wife Living Separately? Online data miner and private investigator Joseph Culligan has noticed something curious: Bill…To catch you up: In May 2010, O'Reilly and his wife began living in separate houses less than half a mile from each other on Long Island. In 2011, O'Reilly used his connections with the Nassau County Police Department (and the potential for donations to a nonprofit affiliated with the department) to try to launch an internal affairs investigation into Mc Philmy's new boyfriend—a Nassau County detective—for the crime of sleeping with Bill O'Reilly's wife. With the help of the New York Civil Liberties Union, we are currently suing the NCPD for access to public records, including O'Reilly's correspondence with former commissioner Lawrence Mulvey, about the episode."

"text": "\"Core Stability The aim of core stability training is to effectively recruit the trunk musculature and then learn to control the position of the lumbar spine during dynamic movements. The Muscles The deep trunk muscles, Transversus Abdominis (TA), multifidus (MF), Internal Oblique (IO), paraspinal, pelvic floor, are key to the active support of the lumbar spine. The co-contraction of these muscles produce forces via the \"\"theracolumbar fascia\"\" (TLF) and the \"\"intra-abdominal pressure\"\" (IAP) mechanism which stabilise the lumbar spine, and the paraspinal and MF muscles act directly to resist the forces acting on the lumbar spine. It is not just the recruitment of these deep-trunk muscles, but how they are recruited that is important. Research (Hodges and Richardson, 1997) [2] showed that the co-contraction of the TA and MF muscles occurred prior to any movement of the limbs. This suggests that these muscles anticipate dynamic forces that may act on the lumbar spine and stabilise the area prior to any movement. Hodges and Richardson (1997) [2] showed that the timing of co-ordination of these muscles was very significant. Training Having identified the key muscles and how they act, the next step is to establish how best to train these muscles. As with any type of strength and conditioning training, the training protocol for improving the function of the deep-trunk muscles must be specific to the task required. This specificity of training must take into account the type of contraction, the muscle fibre type and the anatomical position required."

However, without the strong leadership of the executive, the state legislatures argued among themselves and couldn't get anything done. After the Constitution was written, the states abandoned these old constitutions and wrote new ones that better balanced the power between the legislative and the executive. Newburgh Conspiracy The officers of the Continental Army had long gone without pay, and they met in Newburgh, New York to address Congress about their pay. Unfortunately, the American government had little money after the Revolutionary War. They also considered staging a coup and seizing control of the new government, but the plotting ceased when George Washington refused to support the plan. Articles of Confederation: powers, weaknesses, successes The Articles of Confederation delegated most of the powers (the power to tax, to regulate trade, and to draft troops) to the individual states, but left the federal government power over war, foreign policy, and issuing money. The Articles' weakness was that they gave the federal government so little power that it couldn't keep the country united.

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."

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."

He believed the natural world was created by God and that there was no relationship to mathematics. He believed that any relationship between nature and mathematics was a coincidence. He saw no value in studying the relationship between nature and mathematics. He noticed that everything in the natural world had mathematical properties, and they could be used to study and measure everything. Points earned on this question: 5 Question 2 (Worth 5 points) Why were Copernicus's ideas about the order of the universe deemed to be dangerous to Church thinking? The Church was invested in the idea that the Earth was at the center of the universe. Copernicus was developing a new religion that would challenge the Church. The Church feared his ideas threatened their control of European universities. Copernicus was a follower of Luther and therefore could not be trusted. Question 3 (Worth 5 points) How did Copernicus's work challenge the accepted view of the universe? He believed that Ptolemy's work was completely wrong. He knew that the planets revolved, but he did not believe they revolved around the earth He wanted to prove that God created the universe and science was not involved. He thought that the universe had changed since Ptolemy's theory. Question 4 (Worth 5 points) How did Descartes and Kepler contribute to the new scientific thinking? They showed how mathematics and measurement could be used in scientific investigation They proved that science and mathematics were two separate areas of study. They determined that scientists had to study mathematics before they could study anything else. They proved that it was impossible to use mathematics in astronomy. Question 5 (Worth 5 points) What contribution to modern science was made by Andreas Vesalius? He created a vaccination that helped reduce the death rate across Europe in the 16th century. He published On the Structure of the Human Body which became the foundation of modern anatomy. (correct answer) He is considered to be the founder of physiology due to his extensive research on circulation. He wrote public letters condemning the Church for its non-acceptance of early scientific thought. Question 6 (Worth 5 points) What did Newton's book Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy argue about the role of mathematics in understanding the natural world? Newton's book argued that mathematics and physical science were separate and could not explain each other. Newton's book argued that gravity could not be explained by mathematics alone. Newton's book made the bold argument that physical science required the use of faith to understand the natural world. Newton's book argued that mathematical principles could be applied to our understanding of the natural world. Points earned on this question: 5 Question 7 (Worth 5 points) How did the Renaissance rediscovery of the work of Egyptian astronomer Ptolemy help start the Scientific Revolution? Ptolemy's system no longer seemed to work with what scientists were observing, and scientists began to look for other theories. Scientists were forbidden to read Ptolemy. Scientists wanted to prove that Ptolemy's theory of the universe was correct. Scientists discovered new writing by Ptolemy. Question 8 (Worth 5 points) How did a shift in thinking about the natural world during the Renaissance contribute to the start of the Scientific Revolution? Renaissance thinkers shifted from an emphasis on Latin to Greek. Scientists shifted from thinking about the world to trying to understand how it functioned In the Middle Ages, scientists began to understand God as more of an observer. Europeans shifted from thinking about how lands should be conquered to how they should be ordered. Question 9 (Worth 5 points) How did the Renaissance contribute to the Scientific Revolution? Renaissance thinkers encouraged individuals to question how things work, and scientists began to test these ideas with experiments during the Scientific Revolution. Renaissance thinkers focused little on observation of the natural world, and the Scientific Revolution was an inevitable rebellion against this practice. Because Renaissance scientists were largely unsuccessful, the church was forced to fund a Scientific Revolution to improve quality of life. Because Renaissance scientists used such accurate measurements in their experiments, later scientists could drastically improve the scientific process in other areas.",

A master stylist in any genre, his major philosophical works— A Treatise of Human Nature (1739–1740), the Enquiries concerning Human Understanding (1748) and concerning the Principles of Morals (1751), as well as his posthumously published Dialogues concerning Natural Religion (1779)—remain widely and deeply influential. Although Hume's more conservative contemporaries denounced his writings as works of scepticism and atheism, his influence is evident in the moral philosophy and economic writings of his close friend Adam Smith. Kant reported that Hume's work woke him from his “dogmatic slumbers” and Jeremy Bentham remarked that reading Hume “caused the scales to fall” from his eyes. Charles Darwin regarded his work as a central influence on the theory of evolution. The diverse directions in which these writers took what they gleaned from reading him reflect both the richness of their sources and the wide range of his empiricism. Today, philosophers recognize Hume as a thoroughgoing exponent of philosophical naturalism, as a precursor of contemporary cognitive science, and as the inspiration for several of the most significant types of ethical theory developed in contemporary moral philosophy.1.

"text": "\"For centuries, the history of the philosophy of science has been important for plotting the course of human endeavor. Until the 18th and 19th centuries, there was no real distinction between scientist and philosopher, and many of the great scientist-philosophers of antiquity were also theologians. Science gave philosophy a way of empirically testing theories and concepts, whilst philosophy has helped to develop the scientific method used today. Philosophy also dictates what areas science can and cannot test, delineating the boundary between physical and metaphysical questions. These boundaries and the rules governing research have developed over the centuries, and philosophy and science are intertwined. The history of the philosophy of science shows the development of the underlying methodology and foundations of the scientific process, and shaped science, as we know it today. Science could not exist without philosophy, and even the experiments underway in the Large Hadron Collider owe homage to Aristotle, Bacon and Kuhn. Beginnings - Aristotle's Empiricism vs Plato's Forms The history of the philosophy of science, certainly in the Western world, begins with the philosophers of Ancient Greece. Whilst many other philosophers contributed to the very beginning of the scientific process, the genesis of science began with the contrast between Platonism and Aristotleism. Plato (428/427 BC [ a] - 348/347 BC) had the archetypal Greek belief, that humanity was born with an innate knowledge of everything, and that learning was a process of unlocking the memories."

But there’s also a widespread perception that as a man he was deeply neurotic, unsociable, proud, and vindictive. This is the view, for instance, of Stephen Hawking in the last appendix to his bestselling A Brief History of Time (Bantam, 1988), which offers an extended diatribe on Newton’s personality, characterizing it as marked by “deviousness and vitriol”. Although there’s, of course, no necessary logical connection between scientific genius and moral character, this picture troubled me ever since I read Hawking’s book in my early adolescence. Eventually I became interested in looking into the details of Newton’s life and work. This finally convinced me that Newton was an earnest and upright man, profoundly independent in his thinking, with enormous self-discipline and capacity for sustained work. When he was old and famous and someone asked him how he had discovered his celebrated law of universal gravitation, he replied “by thinking on it continually”. Newton lived in an unsettled age when the culture of open scientific debate was in its infancy, and his revolutionary work on optics, mathematics, and celestial mechanics unfortunately dragged him into controversies that made him significant enemies. The “Bad Newton” picture drawn by Hawking and others is largely the result of modern biographers taking Newton’s enemies at their word, while regarding with skepticism Newton’s justifications for his own actions. Another image that has grown common is that of Newton as a secret magus, absorbed in the study of weird subjects like alchemy and biblical prophecies."

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

"text": "Natural Philosophy in the Renaissance First published Tue Apr 14, 2015; substantive revision Tue Aug 30, 2016Natural philosophy, as distinguished from metaphysics and mathematics, is traditionally understood to encompass a wide range of subjects which Aristotle included in the physical sciences. According to this classification, natural philosophy is the science of those beings which undergo change and are independent of human beings. This vast field of inquiry was described in Aristotelian treatises such as Physics, On the Heavens, On Generation and Corruption, Meteorology, History of Animals, On the Parts of Animals, On the Generation of Animals, On the Soul (whose Renaissance reception is not discussed in the present entry); the so-called parva naturalia (other minor writings); and some apocrypha (e.g., the Problemata ), which were taught in the universities in the Middle Ages and in the Renaissance. During the Renaissance, despite the enduring centrality of the Aristotelian paradigm for the discipline, natural philosophy was enriched and expanded by a number of further approaches. By the end of the sixteenth century natural philosophy was no longer purely identified with the Aristotelian system or a standard university curriculum. At the same time, the proliferation of new contexts and ways of learning did not automatically eliminate older ones, and this fusion contributed to the birth of modern science in a period of religious and political upheaval.1.

[ 1] [2] [3]The earliest recorded versions of this argument are associated with Socrates in ancient Greece, although it has been argued that he was taking up an older argument. [ 4] [5] Plato, his student, and Aristotle, Plato's student, developed complex approaches to the proposal that the cosmos has an intelligent cause, but it was the Stoics who, under their influence, \"\"developed the battery of creationist arguments broadly known under the label 'The Argument from Design ' \"\". [ 6]Abrahamic religions have used the teleological argument in many ways, and has a long association with them. In the Middle Ages, Islamic theologians such as Al-Ghazali used the argument, although it was rejected as unnecessary by Quranic literalists, and as unconvincing by many Islamic philosophers. Later, the teleological argument was accepted by Saint Thomas Aquinas and included as the fifth of his \"\" Five Ways \"\" of proving the existence of God. In early modern England clergymen such as William Turner and John Ray were well-known proponents. In the early 18th century, William Derham published his Physico-Theology, which gave his \"\"demonstration of the being and attributes of God from his works of creation\"\". [ 7] Later, William Paley, in his 1802 Natural Theology or Evidences of the Existence and Attributes of the Deity published a prominent presentation of the design argument with his version of the watchmaker analogy and the first use of the phrase \"\"argument from design\"\". [ 8]From its beginning, there have been numerous criticisms of the different versions of the teleological argument, and responses to its challenge to the claims against non-teleological natural science."

"text": "\"Previous (Empire of Trebizond) Next (Empress Dowager Cixi)Empiricism is a term in philosophy for a set of philosophical positions that emphasize the role of experience. The category of experience may include all contents of consciousness or it may be restricted to the data of the senses only [1]. Empiricism contrasts with rationalist philosophical positions that emphasize the role of innate ideas, or a priori knowledge. Kant and others sought to integrate empiricism with rationalism, conceiving that knowledge is constituted by the collation of preexisting concepts within the mind and information gained through the senses. In the philosophy of science, empiricism refers to an emphasis on those aspects of scientific knowledge that are closely related to experience, especially as formed through deliberate experimental arrangements. It is generally taken as a fundamental requirement of the scientific method that all hypotheses and theories must be tested against observations of the natural world, rather than relying on intuition or revelation. Hence, science is considered to be methodologically empirical in nature.

It comes from the Ancient Greek word εμπειρισμός, the Latin translation of which is experientia, from which we derive the word experience. It also derives from a more specific classical Greek and Roman usage of empiric, referring to a physician whose skill derives from practical experience as opposed to instruction in theory [2]. Philosophical usage John Locke, founder of British empiricism Originally, \"\"empirical\"\" was used by the skeptic Sextus Empiricus to refer to those ancient Greek practitioners of medicine who rejected adherence to the dogmatic doctrines of the day, preferring instead to rely on the observation of phenomena as perceived in experience [3]. The doctrine of empiricism was first explicitly formulated by British philosopher John Locke in the 17th century. Locke argued that the mind is a tabula rasa (\"\"clean slate\"\" or \"\"blank tablet\"\") on which experiences leave their marks."

"text": "John Locke First published Sun Sep 2, 2001; substantive revision Mon Oct 23, 2017John Locke (b. 1632, d. 1704) was a British philosopher, Oxford academic and medical researcher. Locke’s monumental An Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1689) is one of the first great defenses of modern empiricism and concerns itself with determining the limits of human understanding in respect to a wide spectrum of topics. It thus tells us in some detail what one can legitimately claim to know and what one cannot. Locke’s association with Anthony Ashley Cooper (later the First Earl of Shaftesbury) led him to become successively a government official charged with collecting information about trade and colonies, economic writer, opposition political activist, and finally a revolutionary whose cause ultimately triumphed in the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Among Locke’s political works he is most famous for The Second Treatise of Government in which he argues that sovereignty resides in the people and explains the nature of legitimate government in terms of natural rights and the social contract. He is also famous for calling for the separation of Church and State in his Letter Concerning Toleration. Much of Locke’s work is characterized by opposition to authoritarianism. This is apparent both on the level of the individual person and on the level of institutions such as government and church. For the individual, Locke wants each of us to use reason to search after truth rather than simply accept the opinion of authorities or be subject to superstition. He wants us to proportion assent to propositions to the evidence for them."

One of Jeanne's brothers, also named René Brochard, became one of René Descartes' two godfathers; René Descartes was named after his godfather René Brochard. Jeanne's widowed mother, Jeanne Sain Brochard, lived at La Haye, near Tours, and it was in her home that René was born. Joachim and Jeanne Descartes were married on 15 January 1589 and lived at Châtellerault. They had two surviving children older than René, a girl named Jeanne (born 1590) and a boy named Pierre (born 1591).

While such ideas have been central to philosophy from its inception, the philosophy of space and time was both an inspiration for and a central aspect of early analytic philosophy. The subject focuses on a number of basic issues, including whether time and space exist independently of the mind, whether they exist independently of one another, what accounts for time's apparently unidirectional flow, whether times other than the present moment exist, and questions about the nature of identity (particularly the nature of identity over time).

Introduction Despite the success of Newton's physical theories in explaining and accounting for physical phenomena, critics from the very beginning were skeptical of the absolute structure which Newton assumed as the basis of his theories. On the one hand, Newton's approach was very empirical and, for example, when pressed with gravity he preferred to rest his case with a formula describing how gravity worked. As to the nature of gravity, he did not allow himself to speculate in public. With respect to space and time, however, Newton seemed to be committed to a different approach. At the heart of his system were the concepts of Absolute Space and Absolute Time. These, by Newton's own admission, were not directly experienceable. Arguments which Newton offered in support of the necessity for such concepts were challenged by the critics. It seemed to them that had Newton consistently followed his own empirical methodology he would never have been led to postulate such entities."

( Albert Einstein)Physical objects are not in space, but these objects are spatially extended (as fields). In this way the concept 'empty space' loses its meaning. ... The field thus becomes an irreducible element of physical description, irreducible in the same sense as the concept of matter (particles) in the theory of Newton. ... The physical reality of space is represented by a field whose components are continuous functions of four independent variables - the co-ordinates of space and time. Since the theory of general relativity implies the representation of physical reality by a continuous field, the concept of particles or material points cannot play a fundamental part, nor can the concept of motion. The particle can only appear as a limited region in space in which the field strength or the energy density are particularly high. ( Albert Einstein, Metaphysics of Relativity, 1950)Physics constitutes a logical system of thought which is in a state of evolution, whose basis (principles) cannot be distilled, as it were, from experience by an inductive method, but can only be arrived at by free invention. The justification (truth content) of the system rests in the verification of the derived propositions ( a priori /logical truths) by sense experiences ( a posteriori /empirical truths). ... Evolution is proceeding in the direction of increasing simplicity of the logical basis (principles). .."

"text": "John Stuart Mill (1806—1873)John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) profoundly influenced the shape of nineteenth century British thought and political discourse. His substantial corpus of works includes texts in logic, epistemology, economics, social and political philosophy, ethics, metaphysics, religion, and current affairs. Among his most well-known and significant are A System of Logic, Principles of Political Economy, On Liberty, Utilitarianism, The Subjection of Women, Three Essays on Religion, and his Autobiography . Mill’s education at the hands of his imposing father, James Mill, fostered both intellectual development (Greek at the age of three, Latin at eight) and a propensity towards reform. James Mill and Jeremy Bentham led the “Philosophic Radicals,” who advocated for rationalization of the law and legal institutions, universal male suffrage, the use of economic theory in political decision-making, and a politics oriented by human happiness rather than natural rights or conservatism. In his twenties, the younger Mill felt the influence of historicism, French social thought, and Romanticism, in the form of thinkers like Coleridge, the St. Simonians, Thomas Carlyle, Goethe, and Wordsworth. This led him to begin searching for a new philosophic radicalism that would be more sensitive to the limits on reform imposed by culture and history and would emphasize the cultivation of our humanity, including the cultivation of dispositions of feeling and imagination (something he thought had been lacking in his own education). None of Mill’s major writings remain independent of his moral, political, and social agenda. Even the most abstract works, such as the System of Logic and his Examination of Sir William Hamilton’s Philosophy, serve polemical purposes in the fight against the German, or a priori, school otherwise called “intuitionism.” On Mill’s view, intuitionism needed to be defeated in the realms of logic, mathematics, and philosophy of mind if its pernicious effects in social and political discourse were to be mitigated."

Sometime after 1248–49, he became an independent scholar with an interest in languages and experimental-scientific concerns. Between 1247 and 1267, Bacon mastered most of the Greek and Arabic texts on the science of optics. In 1256/57, either at Paris or Oxford, he joined the Franciscan Order. By 1264 in Paris, he came to believe that his university reputation for advanced learning had suffered. Because he regarded this decade as an exile from university teaching and writing, he sought the Patronage of Cardinal Guy le Gros de Foulque, Papal Ambassador to England (who later served as Pope Clement IV, 1265-68). On the instruction of the Pope on June 22, 1266, Bacon quickly wrote “an introductory work,” the Opus maius, and the related works, Opus minus and Opus tertium. He set out his own new model for a reform of the system of philosophical and theological studies, one that would incorporate language studies and science studies, then unavailable at the universities. In this project, he was partly successful. He wrote a new and provocative text on semiotics, and influenced the addition of perspectiva to mathematical studies (the Quadrivium ) as a required university subject."

The three soldiers are played by Robert De Niro, Christopher Walken, and John Savage, with John Cazale (in his final role), Meryl Streep, and George Dzundza playing supporting roles. The story takes place in Clairton, Pennsylvania, a small working class town on the Monongahela River south of Pittsburgh, and in Vietnam. The film was based in part on an unproduced screenplay called The Man Who Came to Play by Louis Garfinkle and Quinn K. Redeker, about Las Vegas and Russian roulette. Producer Michael Deeley, who bought the script, hired writer/director Michael Cimino who, with Deric Washburn, rewrote the script, taking the Russian roulette element and placing it in the Vietnam War. The film went over-budget and over-schedule, and ended up costing $15 million. The scenes depicting Russian roulette were highly controversial after the film's release. The film won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director for Michael Cimino, and Best Supporting Actor for Christopher Walken, and marked Meryl Streep 's very first Academy Award nomination (for Best Supporting Actress ); she would go on to become the most nominated actor in history. In 1996 it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being \"\"culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant\"\", and was named the 53rd greatest American film of all time by the American Film Institute in 2007 in their 10th Anniversary Edition of the AFI's 100 Years...100 Movies list.

Some actors regret turning down a project, but others, like Jack Nicholson, know that it can be the right choice, no matter how popular or critically adored the film might become.

Connor and Noah Barthe, aged four and six, were crushed or strangled to death by the snake as they slept in a room next to where the snake was kept in an apartment in Campbellton, New Brunswick, Canada in the early hours of Monday morning. Today, the boys' paternal grandfather, Ernest Barthe, told Mail Online the boys will be buried in the same casket. Heartbreakingly, he said: 'So now they'll be together forever. You never saw one without the other. ' The 100lb reptile crawled through a gap in its glass enclosure and up into a vent shaft before falling through the ceiling on top of the brothers. An autopsy this afternoon confirmed that the boys had died of asphyxiation. Today, Bry Loyst, curator of the Indian River Reptile Zoo, Ottawa, who has been briefed by the police, told Mail Online: 'I was told that it got halfway or part of the way through the ventilation and was pulled back in its cage but that it was not repaired. ' He added: 'Shortly afterwards, it did it again when children were asleep in the vicinity.

After that, most actors would have called it a day. Instead, Brody decided he needed to feel as lost as Szpilman did after he was forced out of the life he knew: \"\"I gave up my apartment, I sold my car, I disconnected the phones, and I left,\"\" Brody told the BBC. \"\" I took two bags and my keyboard and moved to Europe.\"\" ( Not surprisingly, his frustrated girlfriend at the time dumped him.) His sacrifices paid off in the form of a 2003 Oscar for Best Actor.2.

He grew up amid the happening Hollywood scene with big brother Beau Bridges. Both boys popped up, without billing, alongside their mother in the film The Company She Keeps (1951), and appeared on occasion with their famous dad on his popular underwater TV series Sea Hunt (1958) while growing up. At age 14, Jeff toured with his father in a stage production of \"\"Anniversary Waltz\"\". The \"\"troublesome teen\"\" years proved just that for Jeff and his parents were compelled at one point to intervene when problems with drugs and marijuana got out of hand. He recovered and began shaping his nascent young adult career appearing on TV as a younger version of his father in the acclaimed TV- movie Silent Night, Lonely Night (1969), and in the strange Burgess Meredith film The Yin and the Yang of Mr. Go (1970). Following fine notices for his portrayal of a white student caught up in the racially-themed Halls of Anger (1970), his career-maker arrived just a year later when he earned a coming-of-age role in the critically-acclaimed ensemble film The Last Picture Show (1971). The Peter Bogdanovich - directed film made stars out off its young leads (Bridges, Timothy Bottoms, Cybill Shepherd) and Oscar winners out of its older cast ( Ben Johnson, Cloris Leachman ). The part of Duane Jackson, for which Jeff received his first Oscar-nomination (for \"\"best supporting actor\"\"), set the tone for the types of roles Jeff would acquaint himself with his fans -- rambling, reckless, rascally and usually unpredictable). Owning a casual carefree handsomeness and armed with a perpetual grin and sly charm, he started immediately on an intriguing 70s sojourn into offbeat filming."

He was born Richard Stephen Dreyfus in Brooklyn, New York, to Geraldine (Robbins), an activist, and Norman Dreyfus, a restaurateur and attorney. His paternal grandparents were Austro-Hungarian Jewish immigrants, and his mother's family was Russian Jewish. Richard Dreyfuss worked his way up through bit parts ( The Graduate (1967), for one) and TV before gaining attention with his portrayal of Baby Face Nelson in John Milius ' Dillinger (1973). He gained prominence as a college-bound young man in American Graffiti (1973) and as a nervy Jewish kid with high hopes in The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz (1974). By the latter part of the 1970s Dreyfuss was established as a major star, playing leads (and alter-egos) for Steven Spielberg in two of the top-grossing films of the that decade: Jaws (1975) and Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977). He won a Best Actor Oscar in his first romantic lead as an out-of-work actor in The Goodbye Girl (1977). Dreyfuss also produced and starred in the entertaining private eye movie The Big Fix (1978). After a brief lull in the early 1980s, a well-publicized drug problem and a string of box-office disappointments ( The Competition (1980), Whose Life Is It Anyway? ( 1981), The Buddy System (1984)), a clean and sober Dreyfuss re-established himself in the mid-'80s as one of Hollywood's more engaging leads."

Arquette Height 5' 2\"\" (1.57 m)Mini Bio (1)With her expressive blue eyes, soft, Southern-tinged voice and an acting range that can carry her from hysterically funny to terrifying in seconds, Patricia Arquette is one of the most underrated and talented actresses of her generation. Though she has been working for years, she's always stayed just under the radar of true stardom, despite a 1995 marriage to Nicolas Cage. Patricia was born in Chicago, though the family soon moved to a commune near Arlington, Virginia. Her parents, Lewis Arquette, an actor, and Brenda Denaut (née Nowak), an acting teacher and therapist, had 4 other children: Rosanna Arquette, Richmond Arquette, Alexis Arquette, and David Arquette, all actors. Her paternal grandfather, Cliff Arquette, was also an entertainer. Patricia's mother was from an Ashkenazi Jewish family (from Poland and Russia), while Patricia's father had French-Canadian, Swiss-German, and English ancestry. At 15, Patricia ran away from home to live with her sister Rosanna and, after initial insecurity, got her start in Pretty Smart (1987). A year later, she gained attention for her starring role in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987), considered by many to be the best film of the Nightmare series. In 1989, Patricia's son, Enzo (father is Paul Rossi ), was born. Soon after, her career took off, and she has since appeared in such critically acclaimed movies as True Romance (1993), Beyond Rangoon (1995), Ethan Frome (1993), Lost Highway (1997) and Flirting with Disaster (1996)."

His father was a priest in the Serbian Orthodox church and his mother managed the family’s farm. In 1863 Tesla’s brother Daniel was killed in a riding accident. The shock of the loss unsettled the 7-year-old Tesla, who reported seeing visions—the first signs of his lifelong mental illnesses. Did You Know? During the 1890s Mark Twain struck up a friendship with inventor Nilola Tesla. Twain often visited him in his lab, where in 1894 Tesla photographed the great American writer in one of the first pictures ever lit by phosphorescent light. Tesla studied math and physics at the Technical University of Graz and philosophy at the University of Prague. In 1882, while on a walk, he came up with the idea for a brushless AC motor, making the first sketches of its rotating electromagnets in the sand of the path. Later that year he moved to Paris and got a job repairing direct current (DC) power plants with the Continental Edison Company."

Two of Tesla's devices representing different stages in the development of such a generator are identified. INTRODUCTIONWhile in college Nikola Tesla claimed it should be possible to operate an electrical motor without sparking brushes. He was told by the professor that such a motor would require perpetual motion and was therefore impossible. In the 1880's he patented the alternating current generator, motor, and transformer. During the 1890's he intensively investigated other methods of power generation including a charged particle collector patented in 1901."

Tesla was the first real mad scientist of the twentieth century: Not only did he invent that coil and alternating-current electricity (which you're probably using right now to read this), but he also researched death rays, time-travel, and peering at memories stored inside the human brain. Studio 360 explored the history of Tesla over the weekend, and we've got the highlights, along with some other tidbits about the madman who ate only foods whose volume he could measure precisely, and who tried to build an electrical superweapon. He worked for Thomas Edison and was promised a huge bonus if he redesigned his electric motors and generators. He did so, and gave Edison several patents as an employee, but Edison never paid out. Tesla quit and developed the more efficient \"\"alternating current\"\" that opposed Edison's \"\"direct current\"\" and eventually became the standard electrical current that we still use today. He was one of the first people to work with x-rays, and he invented an \"\"X-Ray Gun\"\" that you could use to fire x-ray beams at someone with, and it would develop on unexposed film hung behind the subject. A favorite target of this gun? Mark Twain. He thought that memories and thoughts were recorded on the brain and could be watched, like a movie, through the retina."

But in brief, Tesla was an extraordinary, intuitive, creative genius who, among a great deal else, invented alternating current (which powers the the modern world) and radio (for which Marconi is often falsely given credit). Contemporary biographers of Tesla have deemed him “the father of physics”, “the man who invented the twentieth century”, and “the patron saint of modern electricity”. Much of his life’s work was about providing for the world free (i.e. zero-cost) energy, which Tesla envisaged would be broadcast wirelessly through the air or through the Earth itself with no need for powerlines – but despite years of trying, he never obtained the funding to achieve this, one of his dreams. It has long since been rumored that he invented or developed a significant number of electrical and electronic devices which were decades ahead of their time and would have been of special interest to US military and intelligence circles. Around 300 patents were issued to Tesla in 25 countries, many of them major and far-reaching in concept. The reality of Tesla’s murder was brought home to us after listening to this Youtube presentation. Eric Bermen tells Greg Syzmanski how he discovered his former girlfriend was the daughter of ex-Nazi SS Commando Otto Skorzeny, and thereby quite by chance met the elderly Skorzeny who had been living for years in the US, working as a carpenter with a new identity supplied by the CIA after WWII. Bermen (who sometimes uses the pseudonym Eric Orion) heard a full confession from Skorzeny, who was nearing the end of his life, and was given a shoebox full of over a hundred photographs to substantiate his claims. Among a number of other highly significant revelations, Bermen heard from Skorzeny that he had personally suffocated Nikola Tesla on January 6, 1943, assisted by fellow-Nazi Reinhard Gehlen."

By the 1890's, he was working on a new type of electrical generator that would not \"\"consume any fuel.\"\" This paper documents where in his writings the description of this new generator is found, a theory of how a fuelless generator could work and a suggestion as to how Tesla's new device might have operated. ABSTRACT Ten years after patenting a successful method for producing alternating current, Nikola Tesla claimed the invention of an electrical generator that would not \"\"consume any fuel.\"\" Such a generator would be its own prime mover. Two of Tesla's devices representing different stages in the development of such a generator are identified. INTRODUCTIONWhile in college Nikola Tesla claimed it should be possible to operate an electrical motor without sparking brushes. He was told by the professor that such a motor would require perpetual motion and was therefore impossible. In the 1880's he patented the alternating current generator, motor, and transformer. During the 1890's he intensively investigated other methods of power generation including a charged particle collector patented in 1901."

CONCEPT According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, we cannot create or destroy energy, but we can change its form. That means we can transmit energy great distances in its electrical form and, when it arrives at its destination, change it into its mechanical form to do work. BACKGROUND The most common device for changing electrical energy into mechanical energy is the motor. Most motors use electromagnets to cause mechanical rotation, which can do work. Before Nikola Tesla invented the AC (alternating current) induction motor, no motors could change AC into mechanical energy. The most fundamental element of the AC motor is the electromagnet, a magnet made from electric current. In the first Demonstration Experiment below, you can make and demonstrate an electromagnet to show students the most basic method of changing electrical energy into mechanical energy. LESSON OBJECTIVES Students will: Discuss the idea that as mechanical energy was converted into electrical energy at the power plant, electric energy is now to be converted back to mechanical energy by a motor. Make some simple drawings of how magnets work in the operation of a motor."

"text": "\"Did Nikola Tesla Create An Electric Car That Could Be Charged Wirelessly? Twitter Google+ Linked In Pinterest January 13th, 2015 by James Ayre While the mythology that currently surrounds Nikola Tesla does contain a lot of very fanciful elements, there’s no doubt that the man had a mind that was well suited towards the creation of technological “marvels. ”The man has certainly left his mark on the world of modern technology — which is no doubt the reason that Elon Musk and others took inspiration from him when they were coming up with a name for the electric-vehicle startup Tesla Motors (which has now blown up to become a notable player in the car market). But how much, exactly, did Nikola Tesla actually have to do with the development of the technology of electric cars? For sure, he developed the AC induction motor (concurrently, and independently from, Galileo Ferraris, who also “invented” the technology). But was there a lot more to it? Given some of the more fanciful stories out there (largely originating in biographies of the man written long after his death), you may be under any numbers of “interesting” impressions…. One of the more persistent of these stories is the one that puts forward the idea that Nikola Tesla created an electric car (a modified Pierce-Arrow) that could be charged wirelessly, and without any need for a battery. The story, sometimes referred to as the “Nikola Tesla electric car hoax,” makes the claim that the modified Pierce-Arrow was “driven for about 50 miles at speeds of up to 90 mph during an eight-day period” — something that would certainly be amazing if there was truth to it. Unfortunately…There’s absolutely no evidence (none at all) that such a car or technology ever existed."

"text": "Nikola Tesla, (born July 9/10, 1856, Smiljan, Austrian Empire [now in Croatia]—died January 7, 1943, New York, New York, U. S.), Serbian American inventor and engineer who discovered and patented the rotating magnetic field, the basis of most alternating-current machinery. He also developed the three-phase system of electric power transmission. He immigrated to the United States in 1884 and sold the patent rights to his system of alternating-current dynamos, transformers, and motors to George Westinghouse. In 1891 he invented the Tesla coil, an induction coil widely used in radio technology. Tesla was from a family of Serbian origin. His father was an Orthodox priest; his mother was unschooled but highly intelligent. As he matured, he displayed remarkable imagination and creativity as well as a poetic touch. Training for an engineering career, he attended the Technical University at Graz, Austria, and the University of Prague. At Graz he first saw the Gramme dynamo, which operated as a generator and, when reversed, became an electric motor, and he conceived a way to use alternating current to advantage. Later, at Budapest, he visualized the principle of the rotating magnetic field and developed plans for an induction motor that would become his first step toward the successful utilization of alternating current."

But before Thomas Alva Edison, people had no way of recording sound, much less capturing moving pictures. With 1,093 patents for inventions that range from light bulbs to cement, Edison was one of the world's most prolific tinkerers. Let's take a look at some of Edison's inventions that still inspire dreamers today: The Phonograph (1877) -- Edison earned his nickname \"\"The Wizard of Menlo Park\"\" in November 1877 when he invented the world's first method of recording and playing back sound. The Carbon Microphone (1877-78) -- Alexander Graham Bell may have invented the telephone, but it was Edison who invented a microphone that turned the telephone from a promising gadget into an indispensible machine with real, practical applications. The Incandescent Light Bulb (1879) -- Without a doubt, the light bulb is Edison's most famous invention. Scientists and inventors had been racing against each other for years trying to invent artificial light. Edison cinched the win by creating an incandescent bulb with a carbon filament that could be practically reproduced. The Brockton Breakthrough (1883) -- Once the world had light, it needed a way to power that light."

Tesla studied engineering at the Austrian Polytechnic School. He worked as an electrical engineer in Budapest and later emigrated to the United States in 1884 to work at the Edison Machine Works. He died in New York City on January 7, 1943. During his lifetime, Tesla invented fluorescent lighting, the Tesla induction motor, the Tesla coil, and developed the alternating current (AC) electrical supply system that included a motor and transformer, and 3-phase electricity. Tesla is now credited with inventing the modern radio as well; since the Supreme Court overturned Guglielmo Marconi's patent in 1943 in favor of Nikola Tesla's earlier patents. When an engineer (Otis Pond) once said to Tesla, \"\"Looks as if Marconi got the jump on you\"\" regarding Marconi's radio system, Tesla replied, \"\"Marconi is a good fellow."

For instance, he did not have the correct materials to build the flying machine, aerial screw and scuba gear, just to name some of his inventions.

Many had ladder frames, solid front and rear axles and high- and low-range transfer cases. Regardless of their extreme off-road, mud-taming abilities, most of these SUVs were used for making school and mall runs. Over the years, however, the market switched away from truck-based SUVs to the car-based crossovers we see today. The new Nissan Pathfinder is a perfect example. Just because most drivers would prefer a lighter, more fuel-efficient and manageable car-based SUV doesn't mean that some of us don't also want an off-road capable SUV. Accordingly, we put together a list of some of the top used vehicles for under $18,000."

The 2015 Nissan Rogue may have a small third row, but it's a better car than the previous generation in virtually every way. The newer version of the Nissan Rogue you can buy is now only a year old, and it's more stylish and more spacious. The Rogue was redesigned for last year — at least one version of it. You can still find a 2015 version of the previous-generation Rogue on the road today called the Rogue Select, and it's intended only for rental fleets. Our recommendation is that you skip past the old version if it's offered to you — the 2015 Rogue is a significantly better product, and it earns class-leading fuel economy. The first thing you'll notice with this current generation of Nissan Rogue is the handsome styling. Gone are the wild grille treatments, replaced by something a little more conservative and considerably more contemporary. The front and rear of the crossover are both more interesting and modern, and the overall look is one that feels less economical. The interior is better organized and finished in attractive, higher-quality materials."

"text": "\"Review: 2009 Nissan Maxima 3.5 SV, Take Two By Frank Williams on July 27, 2009Tweet While Ford and GM consider building their mid- and full-size cars on a single platform, Toyota and Nissan are already doing it. The Avalon has been based on the Camry platform since its inception and now Nissan is giving us an Altima-based Maxima. The key to pulling this trick off successfully is differentiating the resultant cars visually and dynamically and, preferably, aiming them at different market segments. Did Nissan succeed at this mission, or did they just give us an Altimus Maximus? Previously the Maxima was Nissan’s largest car. It still is, but it’s nowhere near full-sized. Its wheelbase is the same as the Altima’s; it’s less than an inch longer and actually has less front headroom (thanks to the standard sunroof), legroom and hip room. Its track is a bit wider but overall it casts pretty much the same shadow as its lesser brother. Fortunately it owes more of its looks to the 370Z and the GT-R than the Altima. The taut lines are creased and folded to perfection and the view from the drivers seat over the sculpted hood and bulging front fenders is almost worth the price of admission alone."

But when “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” was announced, Nissan saw an easy cross-promotion opportunity. The resulting partnership between Nissan and Lucasfilm has become the automaker’s largest and most integrated campaign to date. Nissan invited us to the world premiere of the new Star Wars movie, the first of an anthology series that will tell stand-alone stories set in the Star Wars universe that aren’t directly tied to the main storyline. Following the premiere, we caught up with Nissan’s vice president of marketing communications and media Jeremy Tucker, the master mind behind the Star Wars- Nissan Rogue campaign. His experience as a marketing exec for Disney, which now owns Lucasfilm and the Star Wars franchise, likely helped the deal go more smoothly. “In the spring [of 2015], they announced the name of the movie was going to be ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.’ Very quickly me and my former colleague Don Gross, who I used to work with at Disney, called each other. He called me and I called him and it was really one of those funny things where the two of us were thinking about the same thing at the same time. He knew [Nissan] had a Rogue, and I knew I was launching a model-year ’17 Rogue in the fall, which is about the same time the movie started to be promoted, and so it was just a match made in heaven and very easy for the two of us to start a conversation."

"text": "\"The History Of Nissan Datsun For the New Zealand rock band, see The Datsuns. Datsun was an automobile marque. There never was an actual \"\"Datsun\"\" company, as the brand name was used in production only by DAT Motors and its successor, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. The name was created in 1931 by the DAT Motorcar Co. for a new car model, spelling it as \"\"Datson\"\" to indicate its smaller size when compared to the existing, larger DAT car. Later, in 1933 after Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. took control of DAT Motorcar Co., the last syllable of Datson was changed to \"\"sun\"\", because \"\"son\"\" also means \"\"loss\"\" (損) in Japanese, and also to honour the sun depicted in the national flag, hence the name \"\"Datsun\"\": Dattosan (ダットサン, Dattosan?).. The Datsun brand was discontinued in March 1986. The Datsun name is most famous for the sports cars referred to as the Fairlady roadsters and later the Fairlady (240Z) coupes. The origins of Datsun Further information: Nissan Before the Datsun brand name came into being, an automobile named the DAT car was built in 1914, by the Kwaishinsha Motorcar Works (快進自動車工場, Kaishin Jidōsha Kōjō? ), in the Azabu-Hiroo District in Tokyo. The new car's name was an acronym of the company's partners' surnames: Kenjiro Den (田 健次郎, Den Kenjirō? ) Rokuro Aoyama (青山 禄朗, Aoyama Rokurō? )"

In a sense, he was one himself once, although the young Barry Obama was never arrested or charged with a crime. Obama wrote openly in his 1995 memoir, \"\"Dreams From My Father,\"\" about using marijuana and \"\"maybe a little blow\"\" during his high school days in Hawaii in the 1970s. Biographer David Maraniss reported that Obama was even a pot-smoking trend-setter and leader in the \"\"Choom Gang. \"\" But decades later, openly reflecting on the \"\"stupid\"\" choices he made, Obama has hinted that his career trajectory could have been different if he had been arrested and charged. A disproportionate number of young African-American men are put behind bars for low-level drug offenses, at 10 times the rate of whites, according to the NAACP. It's against this backdrop of personal experience that Obama has been quietly retooling the government's five-decade \"\"war on drugs,\"\" treating it more as a public health issue than a battle against crime. It's a shift that today came to the fore. \"\" With an outsized, unnecessarily large prison population, we need to ensure that incarceration is used to punish, deter and rehabilitate, not merely to warehouse and forget,\"\" Attorney General Eric Holder said in announcing the changes to mandatory minimum prison sentences for drug offenders. The new sentencing guidelines are expected to dramatically diminish imprisonment of \"\"low-level, nonviolent drug offenders who have no ties to large-scale organizations, gangs or cartels.\"\""

If a Libyan needs surgery that is unavailable in Libya, funding is provided for the surgery overseas.• He raised the life expectancy from 44 to 75 years of age.• Basic food items were subsidized and electricity was made available throughout the country.• He developed huge irrigation projects in order to support a drive towards agricultural development and food self-sufficiency.• Recognizing that water, not oil, would be the scarcest resource of the future, Gaddafi initiated the construction of the Great Man Made River, which took years to complete. Referred to as a wonder of the modern world, this river pumps millions of gallons of water daily from the heart of the Sahara desert to the coast, where the land is suitable for agriculture.• Any Libyan who wanted to become a farmer was and still is given free use of land, a house, farm equipment, livestock and seed.• Gaddafi vowed that his own parents, who lived in a tent in the desert, would not be housed until every Libyan was housed. He fulfilled that promise.• Under Gaddafi, Libya has now attained the highest standard of living in Africa.• Gaddafi put up a communications satellite—the first in Africa —to bring the continent of Africa into the 21st century of technology. This also interrupted the massive fees that European companies had been charging the Africans.• He gave women full access to education and employment, and he has enabled women to serve in the armed forces.• Gaddafi started and financed the African Union to tie all of the Mother continent into an eventual body with a common purpose called the “United States of Africa.”• Gaddafi did so much to develop Africa that even Obama’s arrogant Caucasian cohort Hillary Clinton had to admit as she stood before the African Union:“I know it is true over many years, Gadhafi played a major role in providing financial support for many African nations and institutions…”She could not claim America did ANYTHING but exploit, exploit, exploit—and murder!• He was the first and only leader in the Arab world to formally apologize for the Arab role in the trade of African slaves. He acknowledged that Blacks were the true owners of Libya and proclaimed in his Green Book, “the Black race shall prevail throughout the world.”• Nelson Mandela called Muammar Gaddafi one of the 20th century’s greatest freedom fighters, and insisted that the eventual collapse of South Africa’s apartheid system owed much to Gaddafi and Libyan support. * Published by The Final Call and Libya SOS*We encourage you to Share our Reports, Analyses, Breaking News and Videos."

S. official said on Thursday. The move against the diplomats from the Russian embassy in Washington and consulate in San Francisco is part of a series of actions announced on Thursday to punish Russia for a campaign of intimidation of American diplomats in Moscow and interference in the U. S. election. The Obama administration was also announcing on Thursday a series of retaliatory measures against Russia for hacking into U. S. political institutions and individuals and leaking information to help President-elect Donald Trump and other Republican candidates, two U. S. officials said. Trump, who takes office on Jan. 20, has called for better relations with Russia. It was not clear if he will be able to immediately overturn the measures announced on Thursday. The Russian diplomats would have 72 hours to leave the United States, the official said. Access to the two compounds, which are used by Russian officials for intelligence gathering, will be denied to all Russian officials as of noon on Friday, the senior U. S. official added.

Trump, who continues to lead the Republican list of presidential hopefuls and can no longer be dismissed as a bizarre candidate, has consistently and strongly supported Israeli positions on many critical issues, including the Iran nuclear deal and Israeli- Palestinian relations. He has also criticized US President Barack Obama for his attitudes toward Israel and warmly praised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. On the other hand, he has proposed policies and made statements that no Jew can in good conscience accept or identify with. Be the first to know - Join our Facebook page. Trump has often used pro-Israel rhetoric. He called Israel America’s best and most reliable friend, and argued that it should be viewed as the cornerstone of US policy in the Middle East. He has accused Obama and US Secretary of State John Kerry of “selling Israel out,” and said that the US should do everything possible to protect and defend it. “"

"text": "\"Friday, 10 January 2014Welfare Hits Record Levels After 50 Years of War on Poverty Written by Alex Newman Tweetfont size Print Email Fifty years ago this week, President Lyndon Johnson announced the “War on Poverty” during his first State of the Union speech. Under the Obama administration, however — five decades, countless unconstitutional federal welfare programs, and more than $20 trillion later — poverty levels remain largely unchanged even based on official numbers, and dependence on government has reached unprecedented new heights. In reality, Americans’ economic fate is far worse than even bogus government statistics would suggest. Even more troubling is that analysts say the trends look set to accelerate as Washington, D. C., intensifies its failed efforts to supposedly achieve “victory” in the “war” while the Federal Reserve conjures ever greater quantities of currency into existence. Since Obama took office, 13 million more Americans have become dependent on food stamps, with the numbers now hitting a record 47 million — about a third more than when he was sworn in. In 2007, there were 26 million recipients. Spending on the scheme has more than doubled just since 2008. The explosion of the program, along with other welfare schemes, has resulted in countless commentators and critics labeling Obama “the Food Stamp President. ”By 2011, Census Bureau data released last year showed that the number of Americans receiving means-tested federal welfare benefits outnumbered those with year-round full-time jobs. Almost $1 trillion annually goes to the programs, with over 100 million Americans receiving some sort of benefits — not including Social Security, Medicare, or unemployment."

Vance One of Wolfman Jack's favorite tongue-in-cheek commercials, delivered in his raspy voice, went like this: \"\"You say ya kids ain't got no clothes, ya ain't got no food in the frigerator — THEN BUY YOURSELF A COLOR TV BABY! \"\" Harry E. Teasley Jr. This facetious admonition, spending way beyond ones means, is exactly how government at the federal, state, and local levels have been behaving over the past 50 years. Even worse, government at all levels has been enabling Americans to do the same. Gone are the days when both the people and their government lived within their means. With 44 percent of households receiving some form of federal subsidy and the majority of Americans not paying any taxes, our country is now more the land of entitlements than the land of opportunity (Boskin, 2011; Heritage Foundation Report, 2011). With the current challenge of reducing the runaway government spending and an entitlement mentality by citizens, it is quite possible to trim $4 trillion by reining in just our federal bureaucracy. Thomas Sowell suggested that to do so, we must further examine and challenge the giant economic leviathan of our government bureaucracy. The Office of Management and Budget revealed that the executive branch of our federal government grew by 23 percent since President Obama took office. The Wall Street Journal (2012) opined that the president has \"\"presided over the largest expansion of government since LBJ — health care, financial regulation,\"\" and in so doing has spent 24 percent of our nation's GDP. Unfortunately, both taxpayers and the media get social amnesia, seldom holding bureaucrats' feet to the fire when programs they created fail or simply don't do what they were designed to do."

His hedge fund, Quantum Funds, is based off-shore, making the sources of his funds practically impossible to determine. Forbes magazine says Soros has a net worth of $22 billion, making him the seventh richest person in America. 1 The only hedge-fund manager ranked in Forbes’s top ten, Soros lives in Katonah, New York. He has been using much of the money to support the Democratic Party and organizations associated with it. The exact figure is not known, but it is reported that he spent at least $27 million to defeat President George W. Bush in 2004. At the time, Washington Post columnist Harold Meyerson, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, praised Soros for engineering the “privatization” of the Democratic Party through funding of the “527? political groups and bypassing what he called an incompetent Democratic Party apparatus."

Four years later, in the 2012 election, he defeated Mitt Romney to win re-election. He was the first African American president, the first multiracial president, the first non-white president, and the first president to have been born in Hawaii. Obama was succeeded by Republican Donald Trump, who won the 2016 presidential election. Obama's first-term actions addressed the global financial crisis and included a major stimulus package, a partial extension of the Bush tax cuts, legislation to reform health care, a major financial regulation reform bill, and the end of a major US military presence in Iraq. Obama also appointed Supreme Court Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, the latter of whom became the first Hispanic American on the Supreme Court. Democrats controlled both houses of Congress until Republicans won a majority in the House of Representatives in the 2010 elections. Following the elections, Obama and Congressional Republicans engaged in a protracted stand-off over government spending levels and the debt ceiling."

"text": "\"Overview The smallest of all the cabinet-level agencies, the Department of Education (ED) is responsible for supporting the education of American children and adults in schools and colleges across the country. Education is decentralized in the United States, meaning that the task of providing and running schools is left in the hands of state and local officials. The federal government’s role has largely been to provide federal monies to bolster programs that teach children how to read, promote science or help students attend college, among other things. Although it is the smallest of all federal departments, the ED has been the source of controversy since its founding in 1980. Conservatives have blasted the department for decades, claiming it is intrusive and detrimental to the education of children. Liberals, while not always happy with the work of the department, have consistently defended the ED in the face of attempts by Republican administrations to weaken, if not outright disband the department. President George W. Bush used the department to implement a controversial education reform measure, No Child Left Behind (NCLB), which has been the source of much criticism and debate. In response, President Barack Obama’s administration implemented a program to grant NCLB waivers to qualifying states, of which there have been more than 30 to date. President Obama and ED also launched Race to the Top, a $4.35 billion competition that awards funds to states whose schools do the most to meet certain federal educational criteria.more History: The federal government’s first Department of Education (ED) was created in 1867—based on legislation signed into law by President Andrew Johnson—as a non-cabinet-level agency charged with collecting information on schools and teaching to help states establish effective school systems. Almost immediately, critics of the new agency emerged, voicing concern that local schools would be subjected to excessive control by the department."

"text": "The Obama legacy Obama's legacy: the promises, shortcomings and fights to come A verdict on the president’s major achievements across eight pivotal years in the White House, from a panel of Guardian US writersby Oliver Milman, Spencer Ackerman, Ed Pilkington, Lois Beckett, Dominic Rushe, Molly Redden, Jamiles Lartey, Julian Borger and Jessica Glenza Tue 3 Jan 2017 04.00 EST03.16 EST836 1,266In Chicago’s Grant Park, after winning the presidential election on 4 November 2008, Barack Obama looked out at the faces of some of the estimated 240,000 people who had come in person to hail his historic night. Millions around the world meanwhile watched on television – many, to varying degrees, caught up in the excitement of “yes we can” and in sharing his message of hope that, while perhaps bound to ultimately fall short of expectations, was strong enough to win a second term in 2012. As Donald Trump prepares to succeed him as US president later in January – a turn of events few could have predicted on that heady night in Chicago – we asked Guardian US specialist news writers to weigh up the Obama presidency: what did he achieve in various key areas of policy? And will it endure? November 2008: a scene from the election night victory celebration in Chicago. Photograph: Chris Mc Grath/Getty Images The economy Eight years after President Obama’s inauguration, stock markets are at record highs; the unemployment rate, at 4.6%, is the lowest it has been in a decade; and house prices have risen 23%, recovering from their biggest crash in living memory. By those measures, the US should be celebrating the economic record of the man who inherited the worst recession since the Great Depression. And yet his successor, Trump, was elected on a wave of economic populism and a promise to “Make America Great Again” that suggests large numbers of people are not feeling a change they can believe in despite all these rosy numbers. When Obama was inaugurated in January 2009, unemployment stood at 7.6%. As the recession swept people out of jobs across the country that number rose, reaching 10% in October 2009."

"text": "\"Tags: Barack Obama | North Korea | north korea | nuclear | launch What Obama Misses Could Be Direct Hit From North Korea Protests over North Korea's launch. ( AP)By Peter Pry Friday, 01 Apr 2016 02:34 PMCurrent | Bio | Archive Email Article | Comment | Contact | Print | A ATweet President Obama denies North Korea can make a nuclear strike against the U. S. or its allies, claiming they cannot make a nuclear weapon \"\"miniaturized\"\" (small and lightweight enough) for missile delivery. The miniaturization myth never made sense technically and is contradicted by the defense community. But a gullible press goes along with Obama's fiction that North Korea may not have nuclear armed missiles because they have not yet mastered warhead miniaturization. Now a CNN headline reports \"\"Intel Officials: North Korea 'Probably' Has Miniaturized Nuke.\"\" CNN interviewed Adm. William Gortney, commander of North American Aerospace Defense (NORAD), the most outspoken senior officer warning North Korea can strike the U. S. mainland. On Oct. 8, 2015, NORAD Commander Gortney told the Atlantic Council, \"\"I agree with the intelligence community that we assess that they [the North Koreans] have the ability, they have the weapons, and they have the ability to miniaturize those weapons, and they have the ability to put them on a rocket that can range the [U. S.] homeland.\"\" On April 7, 2015, Gortney said NORAD is moving back into the underground bunker inside Cheyenne Mountain, spending $700 million to further harden the bunker against nuclear electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack from North Korea and others. In March 2016, the Pentagon confirmed North Korea recently rolled out a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) the KN-14, having longer range than North Korea's KN-08 ICBM deployed in 2012. Both missiles are armed with nuclear warheads and can strike the U. S. mainland."

SANGER MAY 25, 2009Facing the first direct challenge to his administration by an emerging nuclear weapons state, President Obama declared Monday that the United States and its allies would “stand up” to North Korea, hours after that country defied international sanctions and conducted what appeared to be its second nuclear test. Mr. Obama reacted to the underground blast as White House officials scrambled to coordinate an international response to a North Korean nuclear capacity that none of his predecessors had proved able to reverse. Acutely aware that their response to the explosion in the mountains of Kilju, not far from the Chinese border, would be seen as an early test of a new administration, Mr. Obama’s aides said they were determined to organize a significantly stronger response than the Bush administration had managed after the North’s first nuclear test, in October 2006. Speaking in the Rose Garden after returning to the White House from Camp David and meeting with his top aides in the Oval Office, Mr. Obama vowed to “take action” in response to what he called “a blatant violation of international law” and the North’s declaration that it was repudiating past commitments to dismantle its nuclear program. But as they had meetings every few hours — including a lengthy session in the Situation Room on Monday evening — some of Mr. Obama’s aides acknowledged that the administration’s options were limited.

( Javier Galeano/Associated Press)Updated 5:55 p.m. By Michael D. Shear President Obama is lifting some restrictions on Cuban Americans' contact with Cuba and allowing U. S. telecom companies to operate there, opening up the communist island nation to more cellular and satellite service, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs announced at his regular news briefing today. The decision does not lift the trade embargo on Cuba but eases the prohibitions that have restricted Cuban Americans from visiting their relatives and has limited what they can send back home. It also allows companies to establish fiber-optic and satellite links between the United States and Cuba and will permit U. S. companies to be licensed for roaming agreements in Cuba. Communications of those kinds have been prohibited under tough rules put in place by George W. Bush's administration to pressure for democratic change in the island nation. But under the new policy promoted by Obama, satellite radio companies and television providers will also be able to enter into transactions necessary to provide service to Cuban citizens."

When the Islamic Republic government of Iran finally meets its demise, they will have many symbols and slogans as testaments of their rule, yet the most profound will be their genocide of Islam, the black stain that they have put on this faith for many generations to come. ~ Reza Zarabi Iran, formerly known as Persia, officially the Islamic Republic of Iran ( IRI ), is a country in southwestern Eurasia. It is bordered to the northwest by Armenia, the de facto independent Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, and Azerbaijan; with Kazakhstan and Russia across the Caspian Sea; to the northeast by Turkmenistan; to the east by Afghanistan and Pakistan; to the south by the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman; and to the west by Turkey and Iraq. Comprising a land area of 1,648,195 km2 (636,372 sq mi), it is the second-largest nation in the Middle East and the 18th-largest in the world; with 78.4 million inhabitants, Iran is the world's 17th most populous nation. It is the only country that has both a Caspian Sea and Indian Ocean coastline. Iran has long been of geostrategic importance because of its central location in Eurasia and Western Asia, and its proximity to the Strait of Hormuz. The Persian Constitutional Revolution of 1906 established the nation's first parliament, which operated within a constitutional monarchy. Following a coup d'état by the U. K. and the U. S. in 1953, Iran gradually became autocratic. Growing dissent against foreign influence and political repression culminated in the Iranian Revolution, which led to the end of the Imperial State of Iran and the establishment of an Islamic republic on 1 April 1979."

"text": "When President Obama drapes the Medal of Honor around the neck of Army Staff Sgt. Ryan J. Pitts on Monday, it will symbolize all of the heroism and sacrifice that occurred in a ferocious battle in Afghanistan. But it will represent something else, too: a dramatic rise in the amount of time it takes for troops to be honored with the nation’s highest award for combat valor. Pitts, of Nashua, N. H., will receive the award six years and eight days after holding off an enemy assault on his platoon’s hillside observation post in Afghanistan’s Nuristan province. He did so even though he was wounded badly enough that a fellow soldier had to put a tourniquet on his leg to control the bleeding, Army officials say. The amount of time between his actions and his ceremony at the White House will be the second longest for any service member awarded the Medal of Honor for actions after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. It is surpassed only by Army Sgt. Kyle White, who received the medal May 13, more than 6 1 / 2 years after he braved enemy fire numerous times in a Nov. 7, 2007, battle in Nuristan after he was briefly knocked unconscious by a rocket-propelled grenade blast. Obama has awarded the Medal of Honor twice as often as his predecessor for actions in Iraq and Afghanistan. Still, the prolonged approval process has drawn criticism on Capitol Hill, in the military and from experts who track military awards and see a broken system."

This year the world stood up and took notice of the South Korean artist and the style of music he represented, and opened people's eyes to K-pop. What is K-pop? K-pop, or Korean Pop, is a fusion of dance, electronica, electropop, hip-hop and R&B that originated in South Korea but has spread across Asia (and now the rest of the world). Exponents of the genre have attracted a fanatical following in recent years, though western audiences could be forgiven for not being entirely au fait with K-pop until this year. The movement has largely been driven by the internet with every wannabe artist in the world having a platform to showcase their abilities. Though instant stardom is not guaranteed, the internet has played a major role in the spread of the Korean Wave (which describes the rise of Korean music and entertainment business) and has unearthed many new stars. Undoubtedly the biggest of these is PSY, but he is not the only one to enjoy significant success in the charts."

( KNS/AFP/Getty Images)PYONGYANG, North Korea — North Korea's top diplomat for U. S. affairs told The Associated Press on Thursday that Washington \"\"crossed the red line\"\" and effectively declared war by putting leader Kim Jong Un on its list of sanctioned individuals, and said a vicious showdown could erupt if the U. S. and South Korea hold annual war games as planned next month. Han Song Ryol, director-general of the U. S. affairs department at the North's Foreign Ministry, said in an interview that recent U. S. actions have put the situation on the Korean Peninsula on a war footing. The United States and South Korea regularly conduct joint military exercises south of the Demilitarized Zone, and Pyongyang typically responds to them with tough talk and threats of retaliation. Han said North Korea believes the nature of the maneuvers has become openly aggressive because they reportedly now include training designed to prepare troops for the invasion of the North's capital and \"\"decapitation strikes\"\" aimed at killing its top leadership. Han says designating Kim himself for sanctions was the final straw. \"\" The Obama administration went so far to have the impudence to challenge the supreme dignity of the DPRK in order to get rid of its unfavorable position during the political and military showdown with the DPRK,\"\" Han said, using the acronym for North Korea's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. \"\" The United States has crossed the red line in our showdown,\"\" he said. \"\" We regard this thrice-cursed crime as a declaration of war. \"\" Although North Korea had already been heavily sanctioned internationally for its nuclear weapons and long-range missile development programs, Washington's announcement on July 6 was the first time Kim Jong Un has been personally sanctioned."

( SAUL LOEB/AFP/Getty Images)WASHINGTON - The nation did right Tuesday by two dozen of its greatest heroes - many of them passed over due to their race or religion - by finally granting them its highest military honor. At a White House ceremony, President Obama bestowed the Medal of Honor on the soldiers - most of them Jewish, black or Hispanic — including Pfc. Leonard Kravitz, of Brooklyn, an uncle of Grammy-winner Lenny Kravitz. A government review concluded the soldiers — including another New Yorker, Sgt.

They were identified following a congressionally mandated review to ensure that eligible recipients of the nation’s highest recognition for valor were not bypassed due to prejudice. \"\" No nation is perfect,\"\" Obama said. \"\" But here in America, we confront our imperfections and face a sometimes painful past, including the truth that some of these soldiers fought and died for a country that did not always see them as equal. \"\" Rock musician Lenny Kravitz (C) attends the award ceremony where his uncle U.

"text": "As the United States officially ended the war in Iraq last month, President Obama spoke eloquently at Fort Bragg, N. C., lauding troops for “your patriotism, your commitment to fulfill your mission, your abiding commitment to one another,” and offering words of grief for the nearly 4,500 members of the U. S. armed forces who died in Iraq. He did not, however, mention the sacrifices of the Iraqi people. This inattention to civilian deaths in America’s wars isn’t unique to Iraq. There’s little evidence that the American public gives much thought to the people who live in the nations where our military interventions take place. Think about the memorials on the Mall honoring American sacrifices in Korea and Vietnam. These are powerful, sacred spots, but neither mentions the people of those countries who perished in the conflicts. The major wars the United States has fought since the surrender of Japan in 1945 — in Korea, Indochina, Iraq and Afghanistan — have produced colossal carnage. For most of them, we do not have an accurate sense of how many people died, but a conservative estimate is at least 6 millioncivilians and soldiers. Our lack of acknowledgment is less oversight than habit, a self-reflective reaction to the horrors of war and an American tradition that goes back decades. We consider ourselves a generous and compassionate nation, and often we are."

"text": "\"What Did Nixon Do? Reflecting on a Republican president oversold as a villain -- and Obama's vastly more scandalous misdeeds.2013-05-27T20:27:56-04:00 Matthew Vadum Although Richard Nixon left office under a cloud for trying to subvert the democratic process for his own political advantage, Barack Obama's behavior has been far more serious in its corruption and blatant attempts to manipulate the electoral process by unethical and unconstitutional means. Nixon, bad as he may have been, has been oversold as a villain. He serves as a convenient bogeyman for left-wing historians and journalists to spew self-serving narratives in which they paint him as a devil and themselves as victims. It would, therefore, do well to review some of the facts of what really transpired in the Nixon presidency and how they stack up against Obama's unprecedented malfeasance: First, the much-vaunted \"\"enemies list\"\" that was maintained by Nixon is more the stuff of myth than underhanded politics. In his 1979 book, Blind Ambition, Nixon White House counsel John Dean explained that the list consisted merely of names of individuals not welcome at White House functions. White House chief of staff H. R. \"\"Bob\"\" Haldeman singled out about 20 people on the list for IRS audits and other official torments, “but no action had been taken as far as I knew,” Dean wrote. So what did President Nixon actually do? In his final report as chairman of the Senate Watergate committee, Sen. Sam Ervin (D-N. C.) concluded that the purpose of the series of acts that collectively constituted Watergate was “ [t]o destroy, insofar as the presidential election of 1972 was concerned, the integrity of the process by which the President of the United States is nominated and elected. ”As Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, who broke the original Watergate story, wrote last year, \"\"At its most virulent, Watergate was a brazen and daring assault, led by Nixon himself, against the heart of American democracy: the Constitution, our system of free elections, the rule of law. \"\""

She dedicated it to the “voiceless.” Oli Scarff/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images“Who is Malala?” shouted the Taliban gunman who leapt onto a crowded bus in northwestern Pakistan two years ago, then fired a bullet into the head of Malala Yousafzai, a 15-year-old schoolgirl and outspoken activist. That question has been answered many times since by Ms. Yousafzai herself, who survived her injuries and went on to become an impassioned advocate, global celebrity and, on Friday, the latest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize alongside the Indian child rights campaigner Kailash Satyarthi. Yet since that decisive gunshot in October 2012, Ms. Yousafzai and her compelling story have been reshaped by a range of powerful forces — often, though not always, for good — in ways that have left her straddling perilous fault lines of culture, politics and religion. In Pakistan, conservatives assailed the schoolgirl as an unwitting pawn in an American-led assault. In the West, she came to embody the excesses of violent Islam, or was recruited by campaigners to raise money and awareness for their causes. Ms. Yousafzai, guided by her father and a public relations team, helped to transform that image herself, co-writing a best-selling memoir."

Geil Lundestad, director at the institute for 25 years, said in his just-published memoir that he and the committee had unanimously decided to grant the award to Mr. Obama just after his election in 2009 more in hopes of aiding the American president to achieve his goals on nuclear disarmament, rather than in recognition of what Mr. Obama had already accomplished. Looking back over Mr. Obama’s presidency, Mr. Lundestad said, granting him the award did not fulfill the committee’s expectations.“ [ We] thought it would strengthen Obama and it didn’t have this effect,” he told the Associated Press in an interview. The award so early in his term appeared to take the Obama White House by surprise, and Mr. Lundestad said U. S. officials privately asked if a Nobel Prize-winner had ever skipped the awards ceremony. Normally the Nobel committee’s decision regarding recipients remains private, and Mr. Lundestad ’s frank and revealing remarks regarding internal decisions have caused a stir in Norway, detailing the politicking and compromises that have gone into determining the annual laureate. “Even many of Obama’s supporters thought that the prize was a mistake,” Mr. Lundestad said. In the book, he expressed regret that the decision had been based in a hope for the future rather than recognition of past accomplishments, and that their expectations for Mr. Obama were not fulfilled.

But until about two years ago, Malala was just a 15-year old blogger on a school bus with her friends. It was Oct. 9, 2012, when armed Taliban men boarded Malala’s bus and shot her in the head, transforming her from a minor Internet celebrity into an international symbol. It’s hard to believe that she’s accomplished so much — including recovery from her injuries — in only two years, but Malala’s story actually started long before the assassination attempt that launched her to worldwide fame. She was born in the Swat valley in Pakistan, in 1997, to parents who encouraged her love for education from a young age. Her father, Ziauddin, opened a private school for boys and girls, partly to fight against gender discrimination in Pakistan. “ My father educated my brother and me, but he didn’t send my sisters to school,” he told The Guardian. “ I thought it was an injustice.” When Malala was born, he named her after a Pashtun heroine and never curbed her ambition."

Paul Ryan, the Republican nominee for Vice president, made all of his money. The answer? Natural resources, land rights, and stocks, all invested in mutual funds and limited partnerships. We got a lot of requests to do the same thing to Barack Obama, and for him the answer is much easier. First of all, Obama has released copies of his tax returns, so we're able to produce hard numbers when it comes to what he makes. Second, his investment strategies are much more coherent than Ryan's. Obama made his fortune from a few sources, and has it invested and stored in a few surprising — but also easy to track — ways. We got the information from personal finance disclosures and released tax returns hosted by the Center for Responsive Politics. So, here's a timeline of how Barack Obama went from middle class to a multimillionaire. While he was an Illinois state senator, both parents in the Obama family were working In his 2004 financial statements, Barack Obama indicated that he had three sources of income."

Since the creation of the Nobel Peace Prize, four U. S. Presidents and one Vice President have received the award, which is presented each year on December 10. Keep reading to find out more about the history of Nobel Peace Prizes here at the White House. What’s the Nobel Peace Prize? Alfred Nobel was a man of many disciplines -- including science, invention, entrepreneurship, literature, and peace. When he passed away in 1896, he dedicated his will to award those who have been outstanding figures in these fields. As a result, in 1900, the Nobel Foundation was established and became the organization responsible for awarding the Nobel Prizes."

By Jason Miks October 08, 2010I said I’d take a look at the response to the decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize to Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo, starting with the government’s reaction. One of the most interesting things has been hearing from contacts on the mainland of TV screens going black after the announcement was made (although from what I’ve heard, the BBC’s coverage has fared a little better than CNN’s). Darkening screens seems a somewhat clumsy way of censoring, and it’s hard to see how it doesn’t have the opposite of the intended effect by sparking people’s curiosity as to what they’re not being allowed to see. Certainly the blocking of certain keywords like Liu’s name or ‘Nobel Peace Prize’ from search engines including Sohu and Baidu is only going to encourage people to become more creative in their efforts to circumvent the censors.

The Xinhua News Agency quoted Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu as saying that the Peace Prize should be awarded to people who make contributions on issues such as advancing disarmament or those who work toward national harmony."

"text": "Politics For Obama, an Unexpected Legacy of Two Full Terms at War By MARK LANDLER MAY 14, 2016President Obama accepting the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo in 2009. Since then, he has tried to fulfill the promises he made as an antiwar candidate. Doug Mills/The New York Times WASHINGTON — President Obama came into office seven years ago pledging to end the wars of his predecessor, George W. Bush. On May 6, with eight months left before he vacates the White House, Mr. Obama passed a somber, little-noticed milestone: He has now been at war longer than Mr. Bush, or any other American president. If the United States remains in combat in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria until the end of Mr. Obama’s term — a near-certainty given the president’s recent announcement that he will send 250 additional Special Operations forces to Syria — he will leave behind an improbable legacy as the only president in American history to serve two complete terms with the nation at war. Mr. Obama, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 and spent his years in the White House trying to fulfill the promises he made as an antiwar candidate, would have a longer tour of duty as a wartime president than Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard M. Nixon or his hero Abraham Lincoln. Granted, Mr. Obama is leaving far fewer soldiers in harm’s way — at least 4,087 in Iraq and 9,800 in Afghanistan — than the 200,000 troops he inherited from Mr. Bush in the two countries. But Mr. Obama has also approved strikes against terrorist groups in Libya, Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen, for a total of seven countries where his administration has taken military action. “No president wants to be a war president,” said Eliot A. Cohen, a military historian at Johns Hopkins University who backed the war in Iraq and whose son served there twice. “ Obama thinks of war as an instrument he has to use very reluctantly."

He was born David John Mc Donald in West Lothian, Scotland, to Essdale Helen (Mc Leod) and Sandy Mc Donald, who was a Presbyterian minister. He is of Scottish and Ulster-Scots descent. When he was about 3 or 4 years old, he decided to become an actor, inspired by his love of Doctor Who (1963). He was brought up in Bathgate, West Lothian and Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland and was a huge fan of the band The Proclaimers. He attended Paisley Grammar school and while there he wrote about how he wanted to become a professional actor and play the role of the Doctor in Doctor Who (1963). He made his first television appearance (which was also his first professional acting job) when he was 16, after his father sent some photos of him to a casting director at Scottish television. He also attended a youth theatre group at weekends run by the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama (RSAMD - now renamed the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland [RCS]). When he was 16 he auditioned for and won a place at the RSAMD; the youngest student to ever do so, and started as a full time drama student when he was 17. He worked regularly in theatre and TV after leaving drama school, and his first big break came in 1994 when he was cast in a lead role in the Scottish drama Takin' Over the Asylum (1994)."

From the beginning of the Long Parliament he was a firebrand, and a politician unafraid to challenge the established order. He was an outspoken critic of the bishops and one of the first to call for the established Church to be pulled up \"\"roots and branches\"\". He further proposed the introduction of annual parliaments, insisting that parliament, and not the king, should appoint army generals. As the Civil Wars progressed, his military successes gave him greater political standing and power. His military victories gave him the confidence and motivation to intervene in, and to shape, political events. He was a natural military commander who helped the Puritans win the Civil War. - It was as a military commander that Oliver Cromwell first came to prominence.

At the outset of the English Civil War, Cromwell began his military career by raising a cavalry troop, known as the Ironsides Cavalry, which became the basis of his New Model Army. Cromwell's leadership in the Battle of Marston Moor (in 1644) brought him to great prominence. As a leader of the Parliamentarian cause, and commander of the New Model Army, (informally known as the Roundheads ), he defeated King Charles I, thus bringing to an end the monarchy 's claims to absolute power.

The Division of Belgium and the Netherlands For the most part the cities and provinces in the area known as the Low Countries developed independently from the Ninth through the mid Fourteenth centuries. From 1363-1472 the area was gradually assimilated by four generations of the Dukes of Burgundy from Philip the Bold to Charles the Bold. Eventually the lands passed by marriage to the Hapsburg Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V. Upon Charles's abdication in 1556 the lands reverted to his son Philip II of Spain. Philip then sent his sister Margaret of Parma to rule the area. The Calvinist Dutch in the northern provinces especially disliked the Spanish Catholics. They feared the Inquisition would be brought to the Netherlands, and that personal and economic as well as religious freedom would be lost, so they revolted. Philip then sent Ferdinand Alverez, the Duke of Alba to bring order to the area."

Unlike his mentor, Cardinal Wolsey, Cromwell was not a priest or a papist. He was a lawyer determined to impose his own character – methodical, detached, and calculating – upon government. Cromwell wanted government to be effective and efficient; to achieve this, he had to end the chaos of feudal privilege and ill-defined jurisdictions. He was blessed with a logical mind in an age sadly devoid of them. And unlike his royal master, he did not let his emotions interfere with his position. He was the ideal statesman for Tudor England and, just months after his execution in 1540, Henry VIII was bemoaning his loss. Thomas Cromwell Cromwell was introduced to government service as a secretary for Cardinal Wolsey. His abilities won him the older man’s respect and soon Cromwell was his most trusted servant and principal secretary."

He was a well known military and political leader of the 1600s. Cromwell was born in Huntingdon to Robert Cromwell and Elizabeth Steward. His family was of mid gentry class and was, at one time, one of the most wealthy in the area. However, since Robert was the youngest out of the siblings, his wealth was limited to a house and a bit of land. This gave him income that would make him considered one of the lower earning gentries. Early Life Cromwell studied at Huntingdon Grammar School and later attended Sidney Sussex College in Cambridge. He left without a degree after his father’s death in 1617. It has been said that he studied law in London. However, no records of him have been found in Lincoln’s Inn, the institution he most likely attended."

"text": "\"Is the Biblical Flood Account a Modified Copy of the Epic of Gilgamesh? by Rich Deem Introduction Skeptics claim that the flood narrative of Genesis 1 is a rewritten version of an original myth, The Epic of Gilgamesh, from the Enuma Elish produced by the Sumerians. The flood of the Epic of Gilgamesh is contained on Tablet XI 2 of twelve large stone tablets that date to around 650 B. C. These tablets are obviously not originals, since fragments of the flood story have been found on tablets that date to 2,000 B. C. It is likely that the story itself originated much before that, since the Sumerian cuneiform writing has been estimated to go as far back as 3,300 B. C. The dating of Genesis is uncertain, since the preservation of papyri is not nearly as good as that of stone. Liberal scholars place the date between 1,500 and 500 B. C., although the events are claimed to have occurred several thousand years earlier. Epic of Gilgamesh Here is a brief background of the Epic of Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh was an oppressive ruler of the Sumerians, whose people called to the gods to send a nemesis. One nemesis, Enkidu, became friends with Gilgamesh, and the two went out on many adventures. Enkidu was eventually killed and Gilgamesh then feared for his own life. In his search for immortality, he met Utnapishtim, who had been granted immortality by the gods, following his rescue from the flood. Utnapishtim then recounted the flood and how he became immortal."

When he saw that there were no figs on the tree he cursed it. The problem with this story is that it wasn’t the season for figs according to Mark 11:13! If Jesus is God why didn’t he know that it wasn’t the season for figs? And why would he curse the tree when it wasn’t its fault that it wasn’t fig season? Answer: There is a very reasonable explanation why Jesus cursed the fig tree even though it wasn’t the season for figs. Even before the season, fig trees produce little knobs which are eaten by a passerby. As the late renowned NT scholar F. F. Bruce noted:\"\"The other miracle is the cursing of the barren fig tree (Mk. xi 12 ff. ), a stumbling block to many."

As one of the generals on the parliamentary side in the English Civil War against King Charles I, Cromwell helped to bring about the overthrow of the Stuart monarchy, and, as lord protector, he raised his country’s status once more to that of a leading European power from the decline it had gone through since the death of Queen Elizabeth I. A man of outstanding gifts and forceful character, he was one of the most remarkable rulers in modern European history. Although a convinced Calvinist, he believed deeply in the value of religious toleration. At the same time, Cromwell’s victories at home and abroad helped to enlarge and sustain a Puritan attitude of mind, both in Great Britain and in North America, that continued to influence political and social life until recent times. Oliver Cromwell, painting by Robert Walker; in the National Portrait Gallery, London. Courtesy of The National Portrait Gallery, London Youth and early public career Cromwell was born at Huntingdon in eastern England in 1599, the only son of Robert Cromwell and Elizabeth Steward. His father had been a member of one of Queen Elizabeth’s parliaments and, as a landlord and justice of the peace, was active in local affairs. Robert Cromwell died when his son was 18, but his widow lived to the age of 89. Oliver went to the local grammar school and then for a year attended Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge. After his father’s death, he left Cambridge to look after his widowed mother and sisters but is believed to have studied for a time at Lincoln’s Inn in London, where country gentlemen were accustomed to acquire a smattering of law."

Following the death of Oliver Cromwell on 3 September 1658, he was given a public funeral at Westminster Abbey equal to those of monarchy before him. His legacy passed to his son Richard, who was overthrown by the army in 1659, after which monarchy was re-established and King Charles II, who was living in exile, was recalled. Charles' new parliament ordered the disinterment of Cromwell's body from Westminster Abbey and the disinterment of other regicides John Bradshaw and Henry Ireton, for a posthumous execution at Tyburn. After hanging \"\"from morning till four in the afternoon\"\", [1] the bodies were cut down and the heads placed on a 20-foot (6.1 m) spike above Westminster Hall (the location of the trial of Charles I ). In 1685, a storm broke the pole upon which Cromwell's head stood, throwing it to the ground [2] (although other sources put the date anywhere between 1672 and 1703 [3] ), after which it was in the hands of private collectors and museum owners until 25 March 1960, when it was buried at Sidney Sussex College in Cambridge. The symbolic value of the head changed over time. While it was spiked on a pole above the London skyline, it gave a potent warning to spectators. In the 18th century, the head became a curiosity and a relic. The head has been admired, reviled, and dismissed as a fake throughout the centuries."

"text": "\"MEDIEVAL CHIVALRYDr. Richard Abels,The United States Naval Academy Medieval chivalry is best defined as an aristocratic ethos that prescribed what qualities and attributes a knight ought to possess, and which helped distinguish the military aristocracy of Western Europe in the twelfth through fifteenth centuries from rich commoners and identify them as a social elite. Rather than think of it as an established 'code,' it is best to envision chivalry as an evolving and disputed ethos that lacked a single agreed upon meaning. Medieval chivalry, or at least the nineteenth-century understanding of it, has influenced modern, romantic conceptions of honor, especially military honor. Marine Corps seems especially attune to this, as evidenced by its recruiting commercials: 'Once there were men who knew the meaning of honor [visual: closeup of a knight and his sword]--there still are, the Marines! [ knight's sword becomes Marine sword, closeup of a Marine]. The ideal of chivalry has attracted generations of young people to the military life. It underlies such movies as \"\"An Officer and a Gentleman,\"\" \"\"Top Gun,\"\" and even \"\"Rambo. \"\" Chivalry, in each of its incarnations, is an ethical system that emphasizes personal honor. As Maurice Keen wrote: \"\"the most important legacy of chivalry to later times was its conception of honour ... Transaction of honour, a contemporary anthropologist has said, 'provide ... a nexus between the ideals of society and their reproduction in the actions of individuals--honour commits men to act as they should'... Chivalry's most profound influence lay in just this, in setting the seal of approbation on norms of conduct, recognized as noble when reproduced in individual act and style.\"\" ( Chivalry 249) Chivalry helped fashion the nineteenth-century ideal of the 'gentleman,' in which concepts of courtliness/courtesy, skills in games and war, courage (especially in combat), loyalty to friends, personal honor (public approbation/esteem tied to the avoidance of anything shameful and commitment to doing the right thing, even if it meant risking life and limb), the idea of the 'constant quest to improve on achievement' (M. Keen 15), and individualism were tied together."

Although they were a minority, there was a significant percentage of German-speakers in the empire. If they broke away to join a unified Germany, Austria would be smaller and weaker.

As the map of central Europe stood in 1850, Prussia competed with Austria for dominance over a series of small principalities fiercely keen on maintaining their independence and distinctive characteristics. Prussia proper stretched from modern-day Lithuania to central Germany. Prussia also controlled the German lands around the Rhine River in the west. In between, from Denmark to Switzerland, lay small provinces that Bismarck needed to incorporate under the Prussian crown to create a viable German Empire. In 1862, Bismarck reorganized the Prussian army and improved training in preparation for war. In 1864, he constructed an alliance with Austria to fight Denmark over Denmark's southern provinces of Schleiswig and Holstein. Prussia received Schleiswig while Austria administered Holstein. That situation, however, could not stand for long, as Austrian Holstein was now surrounded by Prussian lands. Bismarck provoked a conflict with Austria over an unrelated border dispute and in the subsequent Seven Weeks' War--named for its brevity--Prussia crushed the collapsing Austrian army."

Germany became the first nation in the world to adopt an old-age social insurance program in 1889, designed by Germany's Chancellor, Otto von Bismarck. The idea was first put forward, at Bismarck's behest, in 1881 by Germany's Emperor, William the First, in a ground-breaking letter to the German Parliament. William wrote: \"\". . .those who are disabled from work by age and invalidity have a well-grounded claim to care from the state.\"\" Bismarck was motivated to introduce social insurance in Germany both in order to promote the well-being of workers in order to keep the German economy operating at maximum efficiency, and to stave-off calls for more radical socialist alternatives. Despite his impeccable right-wing credentials, Bismarck would be called a socialist for introducing these programs, as would President Roosevelt 70 years later. In his own speech to the Reichstag during the 1881 debates, Bismarck would reply: \"\"Call it socialism or whatever you like.

Nor did it constitute any sort of papal green light for any plans of genocide Hitler may have had at the time. What it did was bring to an end something of a cold war in relations between the Church and the German state, which had been going on since the time of Bismarck. To Hitlers dictatorship, it offered much desired recognition from a foreign state, and hence legitimacy. For the Church, it seemed to promise that it could carry out its spiritual mission in Germany without government harassment. Otto von Bismarck, the Prussian chancellor between 1871 and 1890, had instituted what he called a Kulturkampf (culture struggle) with the Catholic Church, in an effort to curb the popes influence over German politics, and to weaken Catholic institutions in a country one-third of whose citizens belonged to the Church."

"text": "\"Understanding the Kulturkampf In the 19th century, the Roman Catholic Church was under frequent attacks from the rising tide of liberal nationalism, which saw the existence of a multi-national Church loyal to the Pope has a threat to national unity. The Third Republic of France attacked the loyalty of the clergy to Rome and tried to make the priesthood dependent upon the state. The newly created secular Italian kingdom was eager to suppress the influence of the Catholic Church, and following the seizure of Rome in 1870, the papacy was deprived of what remained of its temporal powers. At the turn of the last century, the Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II had instituted a policy that has come to be known as \"\"Josephinism\"\", by which all contemplative orders and religious institutes which were not \"\"useful\"\" were disbanded or suppressed. At every turn, the Church found itself attacked and its privileges curtailed by the legislative actions of great states of the west, all who claimed to be acting on behalf of the \"\"people.\"\" One of the most virulent and best known of these attacks on the Church was the German Kulturkampf (\"\"Cultural Struggle\"\"). The Kulturkampf refers to the efforts of Imperial Chancellor Otto von Bismarck to break the influence of the Roman Catholic Church in the newly established German Empire. It is difficult to date the Kulturkampf, but most historians place it between 1871 and 1878. During the Kulturkampf, the Iron Chancellor used political and social pressure to restrict the rights of the Catholic clergy and remove the power of Catholic education from the Church by transferring it to the State. Political Situation of the Catholic Party in Germany in 1870 Any examination of the Kulturkampf must begin by understanding the political context."

He was the eldest grandson of the British Queen Victoria and related to many monarchs and princes of Europe, two notable contemporary relations being his first cousin King George V of the United Kingdom, founder of the House of Windsor, and his second cousin Tsar Nicholas II of the House of Romanov, the last ruler of the Russian Empire before the Russian Revolution of 1917 which deposed the monarchy. Crowned in 1888, he dismissed the Chancellor, Otto von Bismarck, in 1890 and launched Germany on a bellicose \"\"New Course\"\" in foreign affairs that culminated in his support for Austria-Hungary in the crisis of July 1914 that led to World War I. Bombastic and impetuous, he sometimes made tactless pronouncements on sensitive topics without consulting his ministers, culminating in a disastrous Daily Telegraph interview that cost him most of his power in 1908. His top generals, Paul von Hindenburg and Erich Ludendorff, dictated policy during World War I with little regard for the civilian government. An ineffective war leader, he lost the support of the army, abdicated in November 1918, and fled to exile in the Netherlands.

"text": "Germany before World War IA map of Germany prior to unification in 1871. Germany is the first port-of-call in any study of the origins of World War I. Germany before World War I was imperialistic, militaristic and autocratic, a nation struggling to assert its place in the world. In 1914 Germany had been a unified state for less than half a century. Prior to 1871 she had been nothing more than a cluster of 25 German-speaking states, city-states and duchies, sandwiched between France, Russia and the North Sea coast. The road to unification and statehood was a long and sometimes difficult one, fuelled by a rise in German nationalism in the first half of the 1800s. The rallying points for German nationalists were race, culture, language and power. They dreamed of a united Germany, its people infused with patriotism, its government manned by decisive leaders and its economy at the technological forefront of the world. At the vanguard of this new Germany would be its army and navy, a gift to the new nation from its most powerful member-state: Prussia. The process of German unification began with the turmoil of 1848, when a series of revolutions swept through western Europe. Movements in Prussia, Bavaria, Baden and Saxony all demanded change and political transformation, one of which was German unification."

"text": "\"Home » Classroom What Accounts for the Rise of European Nationalism During the 1800s? By Nathan Cranford The political map of Europe looked much different prior to the rise of nationalism during the 1800s. European nationalism rose during the 1800s as a result of great political turmoil and upheaval. Sparked in part by the outcome of the American and French revolutions, populations throughout Europe began to unite in order to overthrow existing power structures and develop new ones based on liberty and national identity. While this did much to change things for the better, the rise of nationalism in Europe also contributed to a marked increase in xenophobia and the deaths of millions as a result of wars fought throughout the Continent. Romanticism and National Identity Lord Byron's writings were pivotal in raising awareness throughout Europe of Greece's national identity. Romantic movements in art and culture beginning in the early 19th century led to the development of various national identities in Europe. The British poet Lord Byron did much to increase the European public's perception of nationalist uprisings. His poetry and involvement in the Greek War of Independence during the early 1820s sparked a significant amount of interest in the cause of Greek nationalist revolutionaries. As a result, public sentiment compelled several Western nations to support the uprising."

"text": "\"Humanities ›History & Culture The Major Alliances of World War IShare Flipboard Email Printhistoricair/Wikimedia Commonsby Robert Wilde Updated March 11, 2018By 1914, the six major powers of Europe were split into two alliances that would form the two warring sides in World War I. Britain, France, and Russia formed the Triple Entente, while Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy joined in the Triple Alliance. These alliances were not the sole cause of World War I, as some historians have contended, but they did play an important role in hastening Europe's rush to conflict. The Central Powers Following a series of military victories from 1862 to 1871, Prussian Chancellor Otto von Bismarck formed a new German state out of several small principalities. After unification, however, Bismarck feared that neighboring nations, particularly France and Austria-Hungary, might act to destroy Germany. What Bismarck wanted was a careful series of alliances and foreign policy decisions that would stabilize the balance of power in Europe. Without them, he believed, another continental war was inevitable. The Dual Alliance Bismarck knew an alliance with France wasn’t possible because of lingering French anger over German control of Alsace-Lorraine, a province seized in 1871 after Germany defeated France in the Franco-Prussian War. Britain, meanwhile, was pursuing a policy of disengagement and reluctant to form any European alliances. Instead, Bismarck turned to Austria-Hungary and Russia. In 1873, the Three Emperors League was created, pledging mutual wartime support between Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Russia."

In 1650, Otto invented a vacuum pump that was designed to pull air out of whatever vessel to which it was connected. It contained a piston and an air-gun cylinder with one-way flap valves. In many subsequent experiments, he used it to study the effects of vacuum. The most famous involves two copper hemispheres, closed tightly with the air pumped out of them. On May 8, 1654, in front of the Holy Roman Emperor, Guericke harnessed fifteen horses to each hemisphere and showed that they could not be pulled apart. In 1663, he repeated this experiment in front of the Duke of Prussia with twelve horses to each half. If the air were completely sucked out of the sphere, the resulting force would be around 4,500 lbs, enough to lift a small car. The surrounding air pressure would have shut the halves tightly and prevented them from being opened."

C. that amber becomes charged by rubbing. 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."

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."

"text": "\"ALBERT EINSTEIN and the ATOMIC BOMBHitler's A-bomb The physicist Albert Einstein did not directly participate in the invention of the atomic bomb. But he was instrumental in facilitating its development. In 1905, as part of his Special Theory of Relativity, he made the intriguing point that a large amount of energy could be released from a small amount of matter. This was expressed by the equation E=mc2 (energy = mass times the speed of light squared). The atomic bomb would clearly illustrate this principle. But bombs were not what Einstein had in mind when he published this equation. Indeed, he considered himself to be a pacifist. In 1929, he publicly declared that if a war broke out he would \"\"unconditionally refuse to do war service, direct or indirect... regardless of how the cause of the war should be judged.\"\" ( Ronald Clark, Einstein: The Life and Times ). His position would change in 1933, as the result of Adolf Hitler's ascent to power in Germany."

"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.

That may have still been the state of affairs in 1902, although things were due to change dramatically in the second half of the decade as a result of Haber and Bosch's work on their nitrogen fixing process (completed by 1911 or 1913)."

"text": "Magdeburg, city, capital of Saxony-Anhalt Land (state), east-central Germany. It lies along the Elbe River, southwest of Berlin. First mentioned in 805 as a small trading settlement on the frontier of the Slavic lands, it became important under Otto I (the Great), who founded there ( c. 937) the Benedictine abbey of Saints Peter, Maurice, and Innocent. In 962 it became the seat of an archbishopric, the boundaries of which were fixed in 968, comprising the bishoprics of Havelberg, Brandenburg, Merseburg, Meissen, and Zeitz-Naumburg. The archbishopric played a major part in the German colonization of the Slavic lands east of the Elbe. Although it was burned down in 1188, Magdeburg became a flourishing commercial centre in the 13th century and was a leading member of the Hanseatic League. In that century it also established an autonomous municipal administration, Magdeburger Recht ( Magdeburg Law ), that later was widely adopted throughout eastern Europe. Its citizens, in almost constant conflict with the archbishops, became nearly independent of them by the end of the 15th century. Magdeburg embraced the Reformation in 1524 and was thereafter governed by Protestant titular archbishops. During the Thirty Years’ War it successfully resisted a siege by imperial forces under Albrecht von Wallenstein in 1629 but was stormed in 1631 by Johann Tserclaes, Graf (count) von Tilly, who burned and sacked the city and butchered about 20,000 of the city’s 30,000 inhabitants."

Descartes showed that he could solve previously unsolvable problems in geometry by converting them into simpler problems in algebra. He represented the horizontal direction as x and the vertical direction as y. This concept is now indispensable in mathematics and other sciences. Advertisements Beginnings René Descartes was born into a well-educated, upper-class family on March 31, 1596 in the French village of La Haye en Touraine.

"text": "Health mental health/psychiatry Why Some Antidepressants Make You Feel Worse Before Better Getty Images By Alexandra Sifferlin December 17, 2014TIME Health For more, visit TIME Health. There’s a paradoxical period when a person first starts an antidepressant: they may actually begin to feel worse before feeling better. The underlying cause of this phenomenon is a bit of a mystery, but a new study from researchers at Otto-von-Guericke University in Germany explains why this might occur. The gap between starting an antidepressant and feeling its positive effects—a time period that’s typically a couple weeks but may last up to a month—can sometimes be characterized by an increased risk for harmful behaviors. Researchers have previously speculated that when a person starts an antidepressant, they may suddenly have a surge of energy they didn’t have before. If that person is suicidal, the effect may provide enough energy to act upon their feelings. The controversial idea caught on. A decade ago, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a “black box” warning—the most stringent of warnings—on all antidepressants warning of possible suicidal thoughts and behaviors. As TIME recently reported, many psychiatrists were (and still are) upset by the label, arguing that it’s led to a drop in antidepressant use among patients. Physicians, fearful of the risks, may also be deterred from prescribing them."

Its practical use has only been at our disposal since the mid to late 1800s, and in a limited way at first. Some of the earliest public works gaining attention were streets lights in Berlin in 1882, lighting up the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893 with 250,000 light bulbs, and illuminating a bridge over the river Seine during the Paris 1900 World Fair. The use of electricity may go back further. While constructing a railway in 1936 near Baghdad, workers uncovered what appeared to be a prehistoric battery, also known as the Parthian Battery. The object dates back to the Parthian empire and is believed to be 2,000 years old."

He directed more than 35 feature films in a five-decade career after leaving the theatre. He first gained attention for film noir mysteries such as Laura (1944) and Fallen Angel (1945), while in the 1950s and 1960s, he directed a number of high-profile adaptations of popular novels and stage works. Several of these later films pushed the boundaries of censorship by dealing with topics which were then taboo in Hollywood, such as drug addiction ( The Man with the Golden Arm, 1955), rape ( Anatomy of a Murder, 1959) and homosexuality ( Advise & Consent, 1962). He was twice nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director. He also had a few acting roles.

On this page It never happened Documented genocide Confessions Disappearances Denying Auschwitz Evidence Diary of Anne Frank Find out more Print this page It never happened Holocaust deniers are people who contend that the Holocaust - the attempt by Nazi Germany to annihilate European Jewry during World War Two - never happened. According to the deniers, the Nazis did not murder six million Jews, the notion of homicidal gas chambers is a myth, and any deaths of Jews that did occur under the Nazis were the result of wartime privations, not of systematic persecution and state-organised mass murder. Some even claim that Hitler was the best friend the Jews had in Germany, and that he actively worked to protect them. Deniers dismiss all assertions that the Holocaust took place as conscious fabrications, or as psychotic delusions. Some even claim that Hitler was the best friend the Jews had in Germany, and that he actively worked to protect them. According to deniers, Jews have perpetrated this hoax about the Holocaust on the world in order to gain political and financial advantage, and it was in fact Germany that was the true victim in World War Two. Top Documented genocide Rudolf Höss, former Commandant of Auschwitz during his war crimes trial ©Holocaust denial is a form of anti-Semitism, positing that Jews have concocted a giant myth for their own ends. It persists despite the fact that the Holocaust is one of the best documented genocides in history, with a wide array of evidence documenting virtually every aspect of it. For example, approximately a million Jews on the Eastern Front were shot during 1941-42, and buried in large pits."

Beetle Bailey is a newspaper comic distributed by King Features Syndicate that started in 1950, by Mort Walker. Originally it was about some people Walker went to college with, and was set in a university. However, when that idea didn't prove very successful he decided to change it into a military comic instead, drawing on Walker's experiences in the army. It's got an incredibly diverse cast that increases as the years go by, possibly in attempts to boost low ratings or to keep up with the times. The comic used to deal with military issues that were either somewhat relevant, or were funny to those who were already in the army. The series is now run by Mort Walker's son, and much of the tone and theme of the strip over the last couple of years has divorced itself from reality in terms of having Beetle and his fellow soldiers remain stationed within the US, oblivious to the wars currently waging in the Middle East."

Previous Ilse Koch's mug shot The star witness for the defense in the Buchenwald case was SS officer Dr. Georg Konrad Morgen, the special court judge who had convicted Ilse's husband, Commandant Karl Otto Koch, and sentenced him to the death penalty in 1943. In his previous testimony as a defense witness for the SS at the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal on 7 August 1946, Morgen said that he had investigated around 800 documents that pertained to concentration camp criminal cases, and from this, he had tried 200 SS men on charges of corruption and/or murder in various concentration camps. Morgen testified that he had personally arrested 5 concentration camp commandants and two were shot after being convicted. Morgen added that \"\"Apart from the commandants, there were numerous other death sentences against Fuehrers and Unterfuehrers. \"\" Georg Konrad Morgen was born in Frankfurt in 1910. He was an attorney who had specialized in international law before he became involved in criminal cases in the special SS court. On the witness stand in the Dachau courtroom, Morgen testified that he had been a judge in the German state court at Stettin. He said that he had been appointed in May 1943 by Prince zu Waldeck, whose district included Weimar and Buchenwald, to investigate Commandant Koch on charges of corruption. Morgen's direct testimony, from the trial transcript as quoted in \"\"Justice at Dachau\"\" is as follows: The investigation (of Commandant Koch) began as a result of reports that a certain prisoner had been shot while attempting to escape. In fact, this prisoner had been told to get water from a well some distance from the camp, and he was shot from behind."

The next year his father Hans, who worked in mining, moved to Mansfield where he served on the local council. He wanted his oldest son Martin to be a lawyer and sent him to Latin schools where he was often disciplined by caning. In 1497 Martin attended a school run by the Brethren of the Common Life. He went to the University of Erfurt in 1501 and received his master’s degree in 1505. Martin quickly dropped out of law school because he wanted to study theology. When scared by a lightning bolt during a thunderstorm on July 2, 1505, he cried out that he would become a monk, and he joined an Augustinian friary on July 17. Martin Luther was ordained a priest in April 1507, and the next year he began teaching theology at the University of Wittenberg."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from People associated with Anne Frank)navigation search Annelies Marie \"\"Anne\"\" Frank (12 June 1929 – February 1945) [1] was a German-born Jewish girl who, along with her family and four other people, hid in the second and third floor rooms at the back of her father's Amsterdam company during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. Helped by several trusted employees of the company, the group of eight survived in the achterhuis (literally \"\"back-house\"\", usually translated as \"\"secret annex\"\") for more than two years before they were betrayed. Anne kept a diary from 12 June 1942 until 1 August 1944, three days before the residents of the annex were betrayed. Anne mentioned several times in her writings that her sister Margot Frank also kept a diary, but no trace of Margot's diary was ever found. After spending time in both Westerbork and Auschwitz, Anne and her older sister Margot were eventually transported to Bergen-Belsen, which was swept by a massive typhus epidemic that began in the camp in January 1945. The two sisters died, evidently a few days apart, sometime in February 1945 [2] Both were buried in one of the mass graves at Belsen, though it is unknown to this day exactly which of the many mass graves at Belsen contains their remains. Their \"\"tombstone\"\" that can be viewed at Belsen today is merely a memorial to the two sisters, and does not mark their actual burial site. Their father, Otto Frank, survived the war and upon his return to Amsterdam was given the diary his daughter had kept during their period of confinement, which had been rescued from the ransacked achterhuis by Miep Gies (below) who, out of respect for Anne's privacy, had not read it. The diary was first published in 1947, and by virtue of worldwide sales since then, it has become one of the most widely read books in history. It is recognized both for its historical value as a document of The Holocaust and for the high quality of writing displayed by such a young author."

Its origin lies in attempts, dating from antiquity, to describe metals and to distinguish between typical and less typical forms.

At right, frontispiece from Glauber's 1663 Explicatio Salamonis. Alchemists acted on the idea that nature had secrets to give and that they could be revealed through laboratory examination and experimentation. While their knowledge was limited regarding the properties of nature, nonetheless, the work of the alchemists provided the basis of modern laboratory techniques, and they did indeed discover many of nature's secrets. Their dogged pursuit for the elixir of life is not so different from modern chemists and natural products researchers who are similarly searching for that one great find which will cure all ills.

Although commonly thought to be fantasy or fairy-tales, the stories of Alice's trips to wonderland were instead a chronicle of the descent into madness of a woman by the name of Alice Liddell. In his stories, he described a mirror that was at one point owned by Alice. Warehouse agents tracked down Alice, who was committing a series of murders at the time, and trapped her inside the mirror, though not before she killed one of them. However, it's unknown exactly how they trapped her in the mirror. The publicly known fantasy stories were Warehouse fabrications to hide the truth.

Controversies have arisen on whether they were a hoax, whether the \"\"Order of the Rosy Cross\"\" existed as described in the manifestos, or whether the whole thing was a metaphor disguising a movement that really existed, but in a different form. In 1616, Johann Valentin Andreae famously designated it as a \"\" ludibrium \"\". By promising a spiritual transformation at a time of great turmoil, the manifestos influenced many figures to seek esoteric knowledge. Seventeenth-century occult philosophers such as Michael Maier, Robert Fludd, and Thomas Vaughan interested themselves in the Rosicrucian world view.

He was brought up in Austria and as a youth he worked in nearby mines as an analyst. He graduated with a baccalaureate in medicine from the University of Vienna in 1510, at the age of 17. There is speculation he gained his doctorate degree from the University of Ferrara. He later journeyed to Egypt, Arabia, the Holy Land, and Constantinople seeking the alchemists to learn from. On his return to Europe his knowledge of these treatments won him fame. He did not go along with the conventional treatment of wounds, which was to pour boiling oil onto them to cauterize them; or if they were on a limb, to let them become gangrenous, and then amputate the limb."

As a lawyer, member of Parliament, and Queen's Counsel, Bacon wrote on questions of law, state and religion, as well as on contemporary politics; but he also published texts in which he speculated on possible conceptions of society, and he pondered questions of ethics ( Essays) even in his works on natural philosophy ( The Advancement of Learning ). After his studies at Trinity College, Cambridge and Gray's Inn, London, Bacon did not take up a post at a university, but instead tried to start a political career. Although his efforts were not crowned with success during the era of Queen Elizabeth, under James I he rose to the highest political office, Lord Chancellor. Bacon's international fame and influence spread during his last years, when he was able to focus his energies exclusively on his philosophical work, and even more so after his death, when English scientists of the Boyle circle ( Invisible College) took up his idea of a cooperative research institution in their plans and preparations for establishing the Royal Society. To the present day Bacon is well known for his treatises on empiricist natural philosophy ( The Advancement of Learning , Novum Organum Scientiarum) and for his doctrine of the idols, which he put forward in his early writings, as well as for the idea of a modern research institute, which he described in Nova Atlantis.1.

"text": "24 September, 2015 - 03:56 dhwty Paracelsus: the Father of Toxicology and the Enemy of Physicians Toxicology is a branch of knowledge dealing with the scientific study of the characteristics and effects of poisons on living organisms. The man considered to be the ‘father’ of this discipline is Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, also known as Paracelsus. It is said that Paracelsus meant ‘equal to Celsus’ (referring to the Roman encyclopaedist Aulus Cornelius Celsus), and the change in his name was meant to be an indication of Paracelsus’ desire to rival ancient medical authorities such as Celsus and Galen. Following in His Father’s Footsteps Paracelsus was born in 1493 in Einsiedeln, Schwyz, the Old Swiss Confederacy (modern day Switzerland). Paracelsus’ father, Wilhelm Bombast von Hohenheim, was a Swabian nobleman said to have been born out of wedlock in an impoverished family of knights. Wilhelm was himself a physician, and was mentioned by Paracelsus to be one of his earliest teachers. When Paracelsus’ mother, Els Ochsner, died when he was just nine years old, the father and son moved to Villach in Carinthia. By watching his father giving medical comfort and aid to visiting pilgrims, the young Paracelsus developed a desire to emulate his father. Wilhelm also nurtured Paracelsus’ growing interest by teaching him the basics of medicine. Furthermore, Wilhelm gave his son herbs and stones, water and metals, as friends, thus initiating him into the wonders of nature."

The periodic table is one of the most potent icons in science, lying at the core of chemistry and embodying the most fundamental principles of the field. The history of chemistry represents a time span from ancient history to the present. By 1000 BC, civilizations used technologies that would eventually form the basis of the various branches of chemistry. Examples include extracting metals from ores, making pottery and glazes, fermenting beer and wine, extracting chemicals from plants for medicine and perfume, rendering fat into soap, making glass, and making alloys like bronze. The protoscience of chemistry, alchemy, was unsuccessful in explaining the nature of matter and its transformations. However, by performing experiments and recording the results, alchemists set the stage for modern chemistry. The distinction began to emerge when a clear differentiation was made between chemistry and alchemy by Robert Boyle in his work The Sceptical Chymist (1661). While both alchemy and chemistry are concerned with matter and its transformations, chemists are seen as applying scientific method to their work. Chemistry is considered to have become an established science with the work of Antoine Lavoisier, who developed a law of conservation of mass that demanded careful measurement and quantitative observations of chemical phenomena."

Cause and Effect In looking through the shamanic healer's eyes, the ultimate causes of virtually all illness are to be found within the imaginal realms--in those same regions from which illness derives its initial power to affect us adversely. Because of this, it is not enough to simply suppress the effects of illness with medication on the physical plane and hope for the best.

D. 23–79) noted that the creature is \"\"an animal like a lizard in shape and with a body specked all over; it never comes out except during heavy showers and goes away the moment the weather becomes clear.\"\" [ 1] [2] All of these traits, even down to the star-like markings, are consistent with the golden Alpine salamander ( Salamandra atra aurorae) of Europe that has golden or yellow spots or blotches on its back [3] and some similarly marked subspecies of the fire salamander ( Salamandra salamandra ). [ 4] Pliny even made the important distinction between salamanders and lizards, which are similar in shape but different in other respects, which was not systematized until modern times, when biologists classified lizards as reptiles and salamanders as amphibians. Pliny recounts several other traits which are less credible, such as the ability to extinguish fire with the frigidity of their bodies, a quality which was reported as hearsay by Aristotle (384–322 BCE). [ 5] While Pliny notes this in Book 10, Chapter 86 of the Natural History, in Book 29, Chapter 23 of the same work he views this idea with skepticism, pointing out that if such an idea were true, it should be easy to demonstrate."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Chemistry Why is hydrogen named hydrogen? The prefix hydro- means water. Was hydrogen discovered in our beloved H2O? Update: Carebear, my mother did not name the element hydrogen. She's not THAT old ;)1 following 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Adam... Another good question! You have some good answers but to keep it simple; Hydrogen is the first element in the periodic table and the most basic and common of all elements in the universe. Over ninety percent of all the atoms in the universe are hydrogen atoms and they are the lightest of all elements. Although it has been around forever, it took a chemist named Lavoisier to name it. The name hydrogen comes from the Latin word \"\"hydro\"\" which means water. Lavoisier knew that hydrogen was in all water molecules."

"text": "In the Doctrine of Signatures, carrot slices, thought to look like the human eye, were said to help protect the health of the eye. Modern science agrees. Could the shape or appearance of a food tell you what part of the body it may benefit? According to an ancient concept called the “Doctrine of Signatures,” it can. A philosophy shared by health experts of ancient times, the doctrine stated that foods that look like certain parts of the body could be used to help heal those body parts. Today’s scientists were quick to dismiss the doctrine’s ideas that a higher power had placed visual “signs” onto our food as ways to help cure disease, but ironically, modern studies have confirmed that certain foods do have health benefits—and these benefits often line up with certain parts of the body. What is the Doctrine of Signatures? The doctrine was originally created by a Renaissance physician named Paracelsus (1491-1541), who developed and published the idea. He pioneered the use of chemicals and minerals in medicine, and believed humans must have certain balances of minerals in their bodies for optimal health. The idea behind the doctrine was that the taste, shape, color, and overall appearance of plant foods could provide suggestions as to how they could be used in medicine."

While it is available in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic forms, as well as from a number of providers in differing formulations, Swedish Bitters are traditionally flavored with aloe, saffron, rhubarb, myrrh, angelica, camphor, gentian, and a few other traditionally therapeutic herbs.

Advertisement Advertisement US actor Pat Morita, who was nominated for an Academy Award for his portrayal of the wise and dry-witted Mr Miyagi in The Karate Kid, has died at the age of 73. There were conflicting reports about the cause of death. His daughter Aly Morita said he died yesterday of heart failure at a Las Vegas hospital while longtime manager Arnold Soloway said the actor died of kidney failure at a hospital while awaiting a transplant. His wife of 12 years, Evelyn, said in a statement that her husband, who first rose to fame with a role on Happy Days , had \"\"dedicated his entire life to acting and comedy\"\". In 1984, he appeared in the role that would define his career and spawn countless affectionate imitations. As Kesuke Miyagi, the mentor to Ralph Macchio's \"\"Daniel-san\"\", he taught karate while trying to catch flies with chopsticks and offering such advice as \"\"wax on, wax off\"\" to guide Daniel through chores to improve his skills. Morita said in a 1986 interview with The Associated Press he was billed as Noriyuki (Pat) Morita in the film because producer Jerry Weintraub wanted him to sound more ethnic. He said he used the billing because it was \"\"the only name my parents gave me\"\". He lost the 1984 best supporting actor award to Haing Ngor, who appeared in The Killing Fields."

"text": "Mr. Miyagi’s House from “The Karate Kid”Jan 30th, 2014 | By Lindsay | Category: Movie Locations One of the greatest filming location mysteries to ever exist was that of the house where Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) lived in the 1984 classic The Karate Kid. It was common knowledge that the residence had been demolished in the late ‘80s, but no stalker had ever been able to track down its former whereabouts – until now that is. While I had long been aware of the enigma surrounding the locale, I had never actually seen The Karate Kid until two weeks ago. ( Well, I saw it in the theatre when it first came out, but did not remember it at all.) The Grim Cheaper did not learn of this fact until two Saturdays ago and he was so upset when he did that I’m surprised he did not divorce me on the spot. He immediately purchased the flick on i Tunes and forced me to watch it. Now that I have, I am in utter shock that the movie remained off my radar for so long. I absolutely LOVED it. And as soon as the credits started to roll, I became hell-bent on tracking down Mr. Miyagi’s house. I quickly sent out texts to Mike, from Movie Shots LA, Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog and Chas, of It’s Filmed There, asking them for any information they had."

Seppuku with ritual attire and second (staged)Seppuku\"\"Seppuku\"\" in kanji Japanese name Kanji 切腹Transcriptions Seppuku (切腹, \"\"cutting [the] belly\"\"), sometimes referred to as harakiri (腹切り, \"\"abdomen/belly cutting\"\", a native Japanese kun reading ), is a form of Japanese ritual suicide by disembowelment. It was originally reserved for samurai, but was also practiced by other Japanese people later on to restore honor for themselves or for their family. A samurai practice, seppuku was used either voluntarily by samurai to die with honor rather than fall into the hands of their enemies (and likely suffer torture) or as a form of capital punishment for samurai who had committed serious offenses, or performed because they had brought shame to themselves. The ceremonial disembowelment, which is usually part of a more elaborate ritual and performed in front of spectators, consists of plunging a short blade, traditionally a tantō, into the abdomen and drawing the blade from left to right, slicing the abdomen open. [ 1] If the cut is performed deeply enough it can sever the descending aorta, causing massive blood loss inside the abdomen, which results in a rapid death.

It is also known as harakiri (腹切り, \"\"cutting the Stomach\"\"), [2] a term more widely familiar outside Japan, [ clarification needed] and which is written with the same kanji as Seppuku, but in reverse order with an okurigana. In Japanese, the more formal seppuku, a Chinese on'yomi reading, is typically used in writing, while harakiri, a native kun'yomi reading, is used in speech."

The beginning of Happy Days Happy Days began as a pilot in 1971 called \"\"New Family in Town,\"\" which was produced by Garry Marshall for ABC. The pilot contained some of the same characters (Richie, Howard, Marion, and Potsie) and some of the same actors (Ron Howard, Marion Ross, and Anson Williams). Mr. Cunningham was played by actor Harold Gould. ABC decided not to turn the pilot of \"\"New Family in Town\"\" into a series, but used it as a segment/playlet of \"\"Love, American Style\"\" in 1972, entitled \"\"Love and the Happy Days.\"\" Ron Howard and Anson Williams appeared in the skit.

In the early years, when Sony was still relatively small and unknown, CI was a totally new concept in Japan. However, people at Sony realized the importance of CI early on and began to promote the Sony brand name worldwide. In 1955, Ibuka and Morita registered SONY as an official trademark of Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo with the intention of establishing the name as a global brand. One month later, when Bulova Inc. of the US promised to order 100,000 transistor radios on the condition that they be sold under its own brand name, Morita refused, saying that his company would only allow its products to be sold under the Sony brand. When pressed, he asked Bulova, \"\"How many people had heard of your company fifty years ago? My company is just starting out, but fifty years from now it will be just as famous as yours. \"\" In 1958, Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo, which was gaining recognition for its Sony brand goods, changed its name to Sony Corporation. The name \"\"Sony\"\" is easy to pronounce and read in any language. Moreover, it has a short lively ring, which matched the spirit of freedom and open-mindedness which Ibuka emphasized in the company's Founding Prospectus."

"text": "Home » luxury » mercedes benz » movies » Road House » 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC from Road House1986 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC from Road House With the death of Patrick Swayze (1952-2009), I thought that it would be a good idea to post about one of his movies and see if there are any cool classic car in them. The one that stood out in my mind was Road House where Patrick Swayze played a bouncer named Dalton in a small town bar that's overrun with corruption. Alas, Dalton was no ordinary bouncer. He had a philosophy degree and a practiced tai chi. He used his expertise in both discipline to clean up the dirty bar. You should be able to catch Road House on cable TV every once in awhile. It's always shown on the Spike Channel and TNN. Deeply entrenched in the thoughts of many movie fans as a romantic icon from his blockbuster hits Dirty Dancing and Ghost, Patrick Swayze's Road House has a special place in the hearts among his fans for being a movie so bad that it's good . It's also a guy movie with lots of hot girls with big hair, bar fights with guys in mullets, monster trucks, and, of course, sweet cars. Dalton drove a nice sky blue 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC."

"text": "“Dirty Dancing” premiered on this day, 27 years ago. The movie was not supposed to be successful. Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey apparently hated each other from their previous collaboration in “Red Dawn.” An original main sponsor of the film, Clearasil, backed out when writer and producer Eleanor Bergstein refused to cut the film’s abortion subplot. Test screenings were a disaster. But the film prevailed and ended up having a worldwide gross of just under $214 million dollars on top of winning an Oscar and multiple Grammys for the music. The soundtrack even beat both Michael Jackson and Bruce Springsteen on the charts. Nobody puts “Dirty Dancing” in a corner, and that’s why today it’s still one of the greatest films of all time. You already know Baby’s all right. Here’s what you didn’t know.1."

Niemi and De Prisco reportedly met at her birthday party after connecting through a mutual friend. PHOTOS: Can you guess the celebrity engagement ring? Jeff Frank/ZUMA Press Swayze and Niemi had been married for 34 years before his death, and a month after he passed, Niemi spoke at the Women's Conference 2009 in Long Beach, Calif., telling attendees how she was coping. \"\" I am so grateful for what I had and my connection to [Patrick], and part of me believes that I will see him again, and I'm just going to have to go on until then,\"\" Niemi said.

The “Dancing with the Stars” contestant, 61, has just revealed that she and the late Patrick Swayze fell in love on the set of their 1985 TV series, “North and South.” Although they were both married at the time — Alley was still with her second husband, Parker Stevenson, whom she divorced in 1997 and Swayze was with Lisa Niemi — the co-stars developed intense feelings for each other. They tried to keep from “going down that road,” but Alley admits they couldn’t help it. “Both of us were married,” Alley tells “Entertainment Tonight ,” clarifying that they “did not have an affair. ”“But again, I think what I did was worse,” she added. “ Because I think when you fall in love with someone when you’re married, you jeopardize your own marriage and their marriage. It’s doubly bad. ”Alley is unsure if Niemi, who asked her to speak at Swayze’s funeral in 2009, knows about their romance, but insists that she and Swayze’s wife of 34 years are good friends. Oddly enough, Alley recently confessed that she and her “Look Who’s Talking” co-star John Travolta had a secret relationship and almost ran off together, calling him “the greatest love of my life."

The late actor was married to his former dance partner Lisa Niemi for 34 years before losing his battle with pancreatic cancer in September 2009. The Dirty Dancing star was 57 when he died. US gossip website Radar Online is reporting that Swayze was the victim of domestic violence, saying Niemi was “abusive” towards her husband, even when he was dying of cancer. “She [Niemi] would beat on him and he would beat on the walls and furniture. They fought and I covered up a lot of that — they destroyed hotel rooms, cars, their house …. It was abusive,” an unnamed longtime friend of the couple is quoted in the article. The childhood sweethearts met when they were 15 years old and were widely considered to have one of the strongest marriages in Hollywood. The website also reports that Niemi had “several affairs with both men and women” during their marriage."

It is based on the book by the same name by Dominique Lapierre, and if my understanding is right has the author's blessings. The characters even have similar if not same names but it is not the same story. However it is true to the spirit in which the book was written. Another interesting comparison with the book is that just like the movie, the book is as controversial, especially in India and among middle class Indians and Indians abroad. Indians do not like to speak about their slums to foreigners and do not like foreigners to speak about them by themselves. Rich and middle-class Indians who make about one-fourth of the country are the most influential people in the country and make the interlocutors with the Western world. I know because I am one of them. If our country is our home, this is a skeleton in our closet.

He suffered a fatal overdose in a motel room in 2010, aged 38. She gave the gripping testimony during the trial of Dr Daniel Baldi, who faces nine counts of involuntary manslaughter stemming from the deaths of Gray and eight others.

Crispus Attucks Speculative posthumous portrait of what Attucks may have looked like Born Crispus Attucksc. 1723 Framingham, Massachusetts, British America Died March 5, 1770 (approximately aged 47) Boston, Massachusetts, British America Occupation Dock worker, whaler [1]Parent (s) Jacob Peter Attucks and Nanny Peter Attucks [2]Crispus Attucks ( c. 1723 – March 5, 1770) was an American stevedore and whaler, widely regarded as the first person killed in the Boston massacre and thus the first American killed in the American Revolution. Historians disagree on whether Crispus Attucks was a freed or escaped slave at the time of the massacre, but most agree that he was of Native American and African descent. Two major sources of eyewitness testimony about the Boston Massacre, both published in 1770, did not refer to Attucks as \"\"black\"\" nor as a \"\"Negro\"\"; it appeared that Bostonians of European descent viewed him as being of mixed ethnicity. According to a contemporary account in the Pennsylvania Gazette (Philadelphia), he was a \"\" Mulattoe man, named Crispus Attucks, who was born in Framingham, but lately belonged to New-Providence, and was here in order to go for North Carolina . . .\"\" [ 3] Attucks' mother, who was a slave, was recorded as a Natick Indian but also described as a negro, as were his siblings and extended family [4]. Because of his apparently mixed heritage, his story is significant for Native Americans and black Americans alike. [ 5]Despite the lack of clarity over whether he was a slave at the time of the massacre, Attucks became an icon of the anti-slavery movement in the mid-19th century. In the 1850s, as the abolitionist movement gained momentum in Boston, supporters lauded Attucks as having played a heroic role in the history of the United States. ["

This led me to realize how many people do not understand the \"\"finished work of the cross\"\" and showed me what such a thought is distorted to mean in some people's minds. His accusations of my faith are not at all what I implied. May this study pose as an introductory study concerning the FINISHED WORK OF THE CROSS. There is much work of God to be done in our lives after we experience initial salvation There is a life that must be lived holily, and we must be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. We must live separated lives from the world and its lusts and sins. We must deny ourselves and deny our fleshly lusts every day."

"text": "\"Impressionism is a 19th-century art movement that originated with a group of Paris-based artists. Their independent exhibitions brought them to prominence during the 1870s and 1880s, in spite of harsh opposition from the conventional art community in France. The name of the style derives from the title of a Claude Monet work, Impression, soleil levant (Impression, Sunrise), which provoked the critic Louis Leroy to coin the term in a satirical review published in the Parisian newspaper Le Charivari. Impressionist painting characteristics include relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience, and unusual visual angles. The development of Impressionism in the visual arts was soon followed by analogous styles in other media that became known as impressionist music and impressionist literature.

They also painted realistic scenes of modern life, and often painted outdoors. Previously, still lifes and portraits as well as landscapes were usually painted in a studio.

It was just past eight P. M. on the corner of 84th and Columbus, and the temperature lingered haplessly in the 90s. Inside Prohibition, a dive bar self-consciously dressed up in 20s-themed kitsch, the condensation was dripping from wine glasses; the smell of beer mixed with nervous energy amid a din of high-pitched chatter. A hundred or so people crowded around a stage in the middle of the bar. Many of them cornered the over-50 demo, with distinct sartorial ticks germane to the Upper West Side: most women wore dangly earrings and flowy blouses that clung to their skin, and the men were mostly gray or graying, bald or balding, in square-rimmed glasses. They were all jockeying for a prime view of the stage. The band began playing at 8:30 sharp—the exact call time for the evening’s gig—a punctiliousness perhaps less rock ’n’ roll cool than cable-news precise."

Was the series finale of \"\"Breaking Bad\"\" satisfying? Did it tie up all loose ends? Did the character you wanted to live survive and did the ones you wanted to die get their just deserts? Is it sending you back to the beginning to binge watch it all over again? Just when it seemed Walt was heading out of his New Hampshire hideaway to exact revenge on Elliot and Gretchen Schwartz (for dismissing his involvement with Gray Matter Technologies in the episode previous), he pulled the first of several surprises of the evening. Instead of threatening to kill them outright, he asks them to set up a trust fund so that his children would benefit from the money he'd illegally amassed (presumably the goal of his entire meth enterprise to begin with). Gretchen and Elliott of course are terrified by his sudden appearance in their ritzy new home, but had they been paying attention, they would have seen Walt waltz on in. His entrance is a bit ironic, considering their wealth and legitimacy is in some way a result of his earlier contributions. He's always been there, in the shadows, whether they acknowledged him or not."

"text": "\"How did the apostle Paul die? Subscribe to our Question of the Week: Question: \"\"How did the apostle Paul die?\"\" Answer: The Bible does not say how the apostle Paul died. Writing in 2 Timothy 4:6–8, Paul seems to be anticipating his soon demise: “For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.” Second Timothy was written during Paul’s second Roman imprisonment in AD 64—67. There are a few different Christian traditions in regards to how Paul died, but the most commonly accepted one comes from the writings of Eusebius, an early church historian. Eusebius claimed that Paul was beheaded at the order of the Roman emperor Nero or one of his subordinates. Paul’s martyrdom occurred shortly after much of Rome burned in a fire—an event that Nero blamed on the Christians."

"text": "\"Is there an “age of accountability” in the Bible? Personal Questions | VBVM Staff | Jun-14-2011Q. I have always been told that there was an age of accountability in scripture, meaning that children who die before a certain age are automatically saved. I've even heard a preacher quote Romans 7:9 saying when we become aware that our sin separates us from God, sin is \"\"revived\"\" in us and then we are held accountable to God from that point. Is this viewpoint correct? A. The Bible never teaches that there is an \"\"age of accountability.\"\" The term never appears in the Bible nor does the concept in any form. Furthermore, scripture never suggests that children are born without sin or that they cannot be held accountable for sin because they don't understand or recognize it. Ironically,the Bible teaches exactly the opposite idea: every person is accountable to God for their sin at every age. For example, Paul teaches: Eph. 2:1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, Eph."

"text": "\"1 Corinthians 15 [ see appendix, below] is a crucial chapter for understanding the meaning of the resurrection. While literalists claim that it supports a physical resurrection, I believe that evidence shows the exact opposite to be true. The main focus of this article is on what the chapter means in speaking of the natural body and the spiritual body, which is the immortal body people are raised in. I will also consider other verses in the chapter, in order. Gospel resurrection accounts will not be considered. Let's examine 1 Corinthians 15 to see what type of resurrection is spoken of. In the first three verses Paul speaks of the gospel message which he had received, and which had been received by others whom he had preached to. In verse 3 Paul says that he delivered first to the people that Christ died for their sins according to the Scriptures, and follows this by saying that Christ was buried and rose again the third day according to the Scriptures in verse 4. These verses indicate that the main teaching of the early followers was of Christ dying for the sins of mankind, and then being raised, or resurrected, on the third day. Verses 3-4 do not provide independent confirmation of a physical resurrection."

A. A young, pregnant Sharon Tate and 4 of her houseguests were brutally stabbed and/or shot to death for simply no reason other than being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Even decades after this horrific crime, the mere mention of the murderer's name, Charles Manson, brings blood curdling chills to anyone within earshot. Sharon Tate Sharon Marie Tate was born in Dallas, Texas, in 1943 to Paul Tate, a Lieutenant Colonel with the U. S Army, and Doris. The oldest of three Tate daughters, Sharon would live in no fewer than six different cities while growing up, as she and her family were constantly transferred about due to her father's military employment. Although she showed early personal aspirations and talents for show biz, her family neither encouraged nor disallowed such participation. In fact, shortly after 1960, while the family was living in Italy, the stunning Sharon won several beauty contests and was even selected homecoming queen at the Vicenza American High School in Verona, Italy. Hungry for more, Sharon would eventually land roles as extras in pictures that were filming on location in Italy. In a timely twist of fate, Sharon would get the break she deserved when her father was reassigned to California in 1962. This fateful opportunity would put the beautiful blonde on the path of not only eventual celebrity, but also of bloody notoriety."

"text": "Almost five years since his momentous resignation from the papacy on February 11, 2013 for health reasons, the undeniable fact is that Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI remains in the peak of health and in full control of his faculties. He has also chosen to remain in the Vatican. He has also chosen to retain the title of “pope”, as Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. In his last general assembly on February 27, 2013, 2 weeks after announcing his intent to resign, Benedict XVI said that the petrine ministry is “always” and “forever”: He who assumes the Petrine ministry no longer has any privacy. He belongs always and totally to everyone, to the whole Church. His life is, so to speak, totally deprived of the private sphere. […] The “always” is also a “forever”—there is no returning to private life. My decision to forgo the exercise of active ministry, does not revoke this. I do not return to private life, to a life of travel, meetings, receptions, conferences and so on. I do not abandon the cross, but remain in a new way near to the Crucified Lord."

"text": "Paul Newman’s Death from “Cancer” (Not Lung Cancer, mind you…)Published October 2, 2008 | By Dr West | 20 Comments Download PDF of this page Paul Newman died last week at the age of 83. A beloved actor and philanthropist, he was debonair, charming, dedicated to his family, thoughtful, and generous, with his “Newman’s Own” brand raising millions for disadvantaged children. What’s not to love? I was certainly saddened to hear of his death, but what disappointed me was that the true cause of his death was almost conspicuously absent. The official releases in the major news outlets (example here, but many others are exactly the same), which was a spoon-fed piece from his publicist, was that he had died from cancer, but that was about all that was said. If you go to great lengths, you could find a story that scratched the surface enough to reveal that he had died of lung cancer (example here, and this even includes a much appreciated spotlight on the disease). Why make it a state secret? It’s been said by people who follow the struggles of lung cancer advocates that it’s unfortunate that there aren’t enough radiant celebrities who come out to speak for lung cancer awareness. Part of it is that we just don’t have as many survivors as we wish we did. But what kind of message does it send when the families of beloved victims of lung cancer whitewash over the diagnosis and never acknowledge it enough to help other people facing the same problem?"

He was the father of Chance Chancellor . Parents, Phillip Returns and Kay Interferes Though Jill and Phillip II were married on his deathbed, Katherine had the marriage legally invalidated, stopping any inheritance to Jill or her son-and use of the Chancellor name. Between her job at Jabot Cosmetics and her efforts to secure a future for her son by always getting involved with yet another rich man, Jill had little time for \"\"Little Phillip.\"\" Her mother Liz Foster practically raised him herself. Once Jill had snagged and married John Abbott, and she could afford it, Phillip was shipped off to a Swiss boarding school. In 1986 Phillip Foster returned from boarding school for the summer as a teenager with an inferiority complex and a drinking problem, apparently caused by his resentment of Jill for dumping him there. Rather than move into Jill's hotel suite, where she was living since her divorce from John, Phillip chose to stay with Jill's nemesis Kay at the Chancellor estate. Kay persuaded Phillip to enroll at Genoa City University rather than return to boarding school in the fall."

"text": "\"Tom Cruise Highest Rated: 96% Risky Business (1983)Lowest Rated: 5% Cocktail (1988)Birthday: Jul 3, 1962Birthplace: Syracuse, New York An actor whose name became synonymous with all-American entertainment, Tom Cruise spent the 1980s as one of Hollywood's brightest-shining golden boys. Born on July 3, 1962 in Syracuse, NY, Cruise was high-school wrestler until he was sidelined by a knee injury. Soon taking up acting, he found that the activity served a dual purpose: performing satiated his need for attention, while the memorization aspect of acting helped him come to grips with his dyslexia. Moving to New York in 1980, Cruise's first big hit was Risky Business in 1982, in which he entered movie-trivia infamy with the scene wherein he celebrates his parents' absence by dancing around the living room in his underwear. The Hollywood press corps began touting Cruise as one of the \"\"Brat Pack,\"\" a group of twenty-something actors who seemed on the verge of taking over the movie industry in the early '80s. Top Gun 1985 established Cruise as an action star, but again he refused to be pigeonholed, and followed it up with a solid characterization of a fledgling pool shark in the Martin Scorsese film The Color of Money in 1986, for which co-star Paul Newman earned an Academy Award. In 1988, he played the brother of an autistic savant played by Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man, a dramatic turn for sure, though Cruise had not yet totally convinced critics he was more than a pretty face. His chance came in 1989, when he played a paraplegic Vietnam vet in Born on the Fourth of July. Though his bankability faltered a bit with the expensive disappointment Far and Away in 1990 (though it did give him a chance to co-star with his-then wife Nicole Kidman), 1992's A Few Good Men brought him back into the game. By 1994, the star was undercutting his own leading man image with the role of the slick, dastardly vampire Lestat in the long-delayed film adaptation of the Anne Rice novel Interview with the Vampire."

About 500 Central New Yorkers were hired to play hocket fans in the movie, and about 500 more showed up to watch filming. Can you identify anyone in this photo? ( File art | John Dowling)By Sean Kirst | [email protected] Email the author | Follow on Twitter on June 16, 2014 at 7:48 AMEach week, in The Post-Standard and at syracuse.com, Dan Connors of the Onondaga Historical Association reminds us of anniversaries of note in local history. Sunday, the OHA pointed out that it's been 38 years this month since the crew of 'Slap Shot' - an iconic American sports movie - arrived in Syracuse to add another chapter to the extraordinary tale of the Onondaga County War Memorial. The film was centered around fabled actor Paul Newman. In 2008, after Newman's death, the Syracuse Crunch raised a banner in his honor. At the time, I wrote the following column, which recalled some of the furor - and some of the central figures - when 'Slap Shot' came to town. A question: Can you identify anyone with Newman, in the photo above? If so, email me or leave a comment below."

"text": "Paul Newman's hidden heartache: How the Hollywood giant never got over his only son's drugs overdose death By Richard Pendlebury for the Daily Mail Updated: 06:29 EDT, 29 September 2008View comments Among the fulsome and heartfelt tributes to Paul Newman, perhaps the most touching was the statement jointly released by his five daughters. Susan, Stephanie, Elinor, Melissa and Clea said of the Hollywood great who died on Friday: ' (He) played many unforgettable roles. But the ones for which he was proudest never had top billing on the marquee. ' Devoted husband. Loving father. Adoring grandfather... always and to the end, Dad was incredibly grateful for his good fortune. ' Paul Newman was left devastated by the drugs overdose that killed his son in 1978No doubt the greatest piece of that good fortune was Newman's 50-year marriage to actress Joanne Woodward, the wife he once described as a 'steak' among a legion of readily available, female Hollywood 'hamburgers'. Their enduring partnership became a beacon of loyalty and fidelity amid an industry that is a byword for marital dysfunction. But Woodward was the mother of only three of Newman's five daughters. And there was a sixth child who died in circumstances which were to haunt Newman for the rest of his days."

Tosca Opera by Giacomo Puccini Original poster, depicting the death of Scarpia (act 2)Librettist Luigi Illica Giuseppe Giacosa Language Italian Based on La Tosca by Victorien Sardou Premiere 14 January 1900 Teatro Costanzi, Rome Tosca ( Italian pronunciation: [ˈtoska; ˈtɔska]) is an opera in three acts by Giacomo Puccini to an Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa. It premiered at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome on 14 January 1900. The work, based on Victorien Sardou 's 1887 French-language dramatic play, La Tosca, is a melodramatic piece set in Rome in June 1800, with the Kingdom of Naples 's control of Rome threatened by Napoleon 's invasion of Italy. It contains depictions of torture, murder and suicide, as well as some of Puccini's best-known lyrical arias. Puccini saw Sardou's play when it was touring Italy in 1889 and, after some vacillation, obtained the rights to turn the work into an opera in 1895. Turning the wordy French play into a succinct Italian opera took four years, during which the composer repeatedly argued with his librettists and publisher. Tosca premiered at a time of unrest in Rome, and its first performance was delayed for a day for fear of disturbances. Despite indifferent reviews from the critics, the opera was an immediate success with the public. Musically, Tosca is structured as a through-composed work, with arias, recitative, choruses and other elements musically woven into a seamless whole."

Although the origin of the poem was disputed until later in her life, Mary Frye's authorship was confirmed in 1998 after research by Abigail Van Buren, a newspaper columnist. [ 1]Contents [ hide ]1 Origins2 BBC poll3 Translations4 Derivative works5 In popular culture6 References7 External links Origins [ edit]There have been many claimants to the poem's authorship, including attributions to traditional and Native American origins. Dear Abby author Abigail Van Buren researched the poem's history and concluded in 1998 that Mary Elizabeth Frye, who was living in Baltimore at the time, had written the poem in 1932. According to Van Buren's research, Frye had never written any poetry, but the plight of a German Jewish woman, Margaret Schwarzkopf, who was staying with her and her husband, had inspired the poem. Margaret Schwarzkopf was concerned about her mother, who was ill in Germany, but she had been warned not to return home because of increasing unrest. When her mother died, the heartbroken young woman told Frye that she never had the chance to \"\"stand by my mother's grave and shed a tear\"\". Frye, according to Van Buren's research, found herself composing a piece of verse on a brown paper shopping bag. Later she said that the words \"\"just came to her\"\" and expressed what she felt about life and death. [ 1]Frye circulated the poem privately, never publishing or copyrighting it."

Wealthy people The wealthy people during the Renaissance ate much better than the peasants. Like the Greeks and the Romans they studied and enjoyed having huge feasts with lots of fancy dishes. Like the peasants, they ate soups and broths, but these soups were spiced with exotic spices and often sweetened with sugar. The rich also ate more meat. They would have large roasts of beef, stag, or pig. Roasts would be boiled in a large vat and then basted with juices and rose water to add flavor.

The Chinese believed in strict social groups and people were expected to behave according to their social position. This belief was further reinforced by the Chinese philosopher Confucius, who taught that strict social order and discipline was the key to a successful society. Men and women in ancient China were not equal and men were afforded far more privileges than women. The Chinese strongly believed in the wisdom of the elders and, as such, grandparents were greatly respected. Social order Beneath the emperor, there were four main social classes in ancient China.

However in the region of Tuscany, cucina povera or the peasant kitchen is the traditional, very modest and yet still incredibly delicious type of cooking that characterizes most family meals.

Related product Chianti Classico DOCG 2015+ Info It is thought that pici pasta originated in Etruscan times but exactly how is a hotly debated subject. Generally there are two main legends surrounding this simple dish. One is that it takes its name from the Etruscan foodie, Apicius. The second is that pici is a shortened word stemming from the Italian word, appicciare or “to stick”. Wherever the name comes from, it has been a staple in the kitchens in Siena and the nearby countryside for generations. Even within this small area though, there are variations."

Medieval England experienced few revolts but the most serious was the Peasants’ Revolt which took place in June 1381. A violent system of punishments for offenders was usually enough to put off peasants from causing trouble. Most areas in England also had castles in which soldiers were garrisoned, and these were usually enough to guarantee reasonable behaviour among medieval peasants. An army of peasants from Kent and Essex marched on London. They did something no-one had done before or since – they captured the Tower of London. The Archbishop of Canterbury and the King’s Treasurer were killed. The king, Richard II, was only 14 at the time but despite his youth, he agreed to meet the peasants at a place called Mile End."

Marie Antoinette , Queen of France (of the \"\"If they don't have bread, let them eat cakes\"\" fame) was the 15th daughter of Francis I, Holy Roman Emperor , Archduke of Austria. Her deposition a and imprisonment were a direct insult to the Austrian Empire.

However, with the increasing radicalization of the revolution (the guillotines had become busy), he became rather alarmed, for the reasons Ernest pointed out. The specter of an angry and active citizenry, actually overthrowing and imprisoning the aristocracy was anathema to the noble houses of the great powers of Europe. An additional factor was the large number of French noble emigres in Austria who had started petitioning Leopold to do something to ensure the safety of the French Royal family. Accordingly, in consultation with Frederick William II of Prussia, Leopold issued the Declaration of Pillnitz. While it was a rather long-winded and complicated diplomatic note, it specified that the great powers of Europe would go to war with the nascent French Republic if the physical safety of King Louis the XVI or his immediate family was threatened."

"text": "\"A Short History of Enclosure in Britain Simon Fairlie describes how the progressive enclosure of commons over several centuries has deprived most of the British people of access to agricultural land. The historical process bears little relationship to the “Tragedy of the Commons”, the theory which ideologues in the neoliberal era adopted as part of a smear campaign against common property institutions. Over the course of a few hundred years, much of Britain's land has been privatized — that is to say taken out of some form of collective ownership and management and handed over to individuals. Currently, in our \"\"property-owning democracy\"\", nearly half the country is owned by 40,000 land millionaires, or 0.06 per cent of the population,1 while most of the rest of us spend half our working lives paying off the debt on a patch of land barely large enough to accommodate a dwelling and a washing line. There are many factors that have led to such extreme levels of land concentration, but the most blatant and the most contentious has been enclosure — the subdivision and fencing of common land into individual plots which were allocated to those people deemed to have held rights to the land enclosed. For over 500 years, pamphleteers, politicians and historians have argued about enclosure, those in favour (including the beneficiaries) insisting that it was necessary for economic development or \"\"improvement\"\", and those against (including the dispossessed) claiming that it deprived the poor of their livelihoods and led to rural depopulation. Reams of evidence derived from manorial rolls, tax returns, field orders and so on have been painstakingly unearthed to support either side. Anyone concocting a resumé of enclosure such as the one I present here cannot ignore E P Thompson's warning: \"\"A novice in agricultural history caught loitering in those areas with intent would quickly be despatched. \"\" 2 But over the last three decades, the enclosure debate has been swept up in a broader discourse on the nature of common property of any kind. The overgrazing of English common land has been held up as the archetypal example of the \"\"tragedy of the commons\"\" — the fatal deficiency that a neoliberal intelligentsia holds to be inherent in all forms of common property."

Also known as the Black Death, the plague (caused by the bacterium called Yersinia pestis) was carried by fleas most often found on rats. It had arrived in Europe by 1348, and thousands died in places ranging from Italy, France and Germany to Scandinavia, England, Wales, Spain and Russia. The deadly bubonic plague caused oozing swellings (buboes) all over the body. With the septicaemic plague, victims suffered from skin that was darkly discoloured (turning black) as a result of toxins in the bloodstream (one reason why the plague has subsequently been called the ‘Black Death’). The extremely contagious pneumonic plague could be contracted by merely sneezing or spitting, and caused victims’ lungs to fill up. The Black Death killed between a third and half of the population of Europe. Contemporaries did not know, of course, what caused the plague or how to avoid catching it. They sought explanations for the crisis in God’s anger, human sin, and outsider/marginal groups, especially Jews."

After the plague hit, there was a great deal of land available because of the massive death rate. The average Joe was able to jump in and take this land and was no longer bound and subservient to a lord. Ronald D · 1 decade ago0 1 Comment While the plague impacted all classes, it killed mostly the lower-class peasants, who were the one that the feudal system relied on because they did all the work. Once their numbers dropped, they had more leverage over the lords because there were fewer people to work (if the peasants decided that they wanted more rights, they could work for them without the fear of losing work because there was no one to replace them.) I don't know if that made sense, so here is the basic concept: Fewer workers = more power over the lords, which means feudal system falls (because it relies on a very strict hierarchy). Jules · 1 decade ago2 1 Commentthe black plague killed people people is needed for the feudal system to work since people died, the feudal system weaken because people began dying and because of that, there were less people doing the feudal system (for example, the black plague killed peasants of the feudal system that helped farm food for other people of the feudal system and so, less people farming food means less food to sustain the other people of the feudal system)dpskl · 1 decade ago1 1 Comment In 'Medieval Lives' terry Jones writes: 'The effect of the Black Death was immediately catastrophic for everyone, curiously, those peasants who survived it found their lives immeasurably improved. Labour became scarce and more valuable than abudant land. Landless people were able to take over abandoned holdings, and those who could handle more land simply took it. Wages roughly doubled, while the fall in the polulation led to something like a halving of the price of wheat."

"text": "Communization of the Rural Population Having deemed the existing cooperatives as too small to be optimally effective, Mao pushed collectivization to the extreme beginning in the winter of 1957. Whereas before the Great Leap, APC’s had consisted of several hundred people, during this time, enrollment was increased so as to make each new commune home to some 20,000 to 30,000 people (approx. 5000 families) (Soled, 62). Of course, as is essential to the institution of any new Communist policy, the CCP utilized mass propaganda techniques to cultivate ideological fervor among the people. Mao did not want the people to be forced into these communes; rather, he wanted the people to believe so strongly in the Communist ideology that they would gladly voluntarily join worker’s communes. Local propaganda plans that specifically dealt with the problems of the respective areas and made widely unrealistic promises were used greatly to implant the idea that Communism was the answer to all their problems. Another major form of propaganda was the mass meeting led by CCP cadres. Again, these one sided “debates” emphasized the greater production that could result from communization, but they also took the opportunity to emphasize the negative sides to the much smaller, ineffective APC’s that were already widespread. Propaganda techniques were to continue well after the establishment of communes as well. It was a common practice for loudspeakers to be set up in communes so that the peasants could hear political speeches that preached the great benefits of Communism, while they were slaving away in the fields."

Report abuse Transcript of MEDIEVAL JAPANESE FOOD AND DIETPEASANTS In medieval Japan, a usual meal for a peasant was vegetables, rice and fish, which was used to make pottage. Pottage is a thick soup or stew containing mainly vegetables and sometimes meat. They gave there first amounts of the meal to the upper class, and on a good day they would eat about twice a day. On a bad day, they ate next to nothing. Farmer peasants had two types of crops: a spring and a fall crop, the spring crop grew herbs, rice, peas and beans."

Grigory Rasputin was born 10 January 1869 in the small and remote Siberian village of Pokrovskoe. Even as a young man he astonished people; there was talk about him having visions and the ability to heal. According to one legend, one day Rasputin was lying in bed sick when a group of peasants walked in to find out who had stolen a horse. Grigory rose from his bed and pointed at the thief among them. The insulted peasant denied it, and Grigory was beaten. That night, two wary peasants followed the suspect and saw him leading the horse out of his shed and into the forest. Rasputin gained a reputation as a visionary, although some were scared of the boy and thought he was possessed by the devil. It was a time and place where all possible magic and heeling powers were a way of life. Grigory himself thought that he was taken over by a higher force."

"text": "Bataan Death March: Background The day after Japan bombed the U. S. naval base at Pearl Harbor, on December 7, 1941, the Japanese invasion of the Philippines began. Within a month, the Japanese had captured Manila, the capital of the Philippines, and the American and Filipino defenders of Luzon (the island on which Manila is located) were forced to retreat to the Bataan Peninsula. For the next three months, the combined U. S.-Filipino army held out despite a lack of naval and air support. Finally, on April 9, with his forces crippled by starvation and disease, U. S. General Edward King Jr. (1884-1958), surrendered his approximately 75,000 troops at Bataan. Did You Know? The Philippines is an archipelago consisting of more than 7,100 islands. Bataan Death March: April 1942The surrendered Filipinos and Americans soon were rounded up by the Japanese and forced to march some 65 miles from Mariveles, on the southern end of the Bataan Peninsula, to San Fernando. The men were divided into groups of approximately 100, and what became known as the Bataan Death March typically took each group around five days to complete. The exact figures are unknown, but it is believed that thousands of troops died because of the brutality of their captors, who starved and beat the marchers, and bayoneted those too weak to walk. Survivors were taken by rail from San Fernando to prisoner-of-war camps, where thousands more died from disease, mistreatment and starvation."

Estimates range from 5,650 to 18,000 POW deaths The Bataan Death March ( Filipino: Martsa ng Kamatayan sa Bataan; Japanese: バターン死の行進, Hepburn: Batān Shi no Kōshin) was the forcible transfer by the Imperial Japanese Army of 60,000–80,000 Filipino and American prisoners of war from Saysain Point, Bagac, Bataan and Mariveles to Camp O'Donnell, Capas, Tarlac, via San Fernando, Pampanga, where the prisoners were loaded onto trains. The transfer began on April 9, 1942, after the three-month Battle of Bataan in the Philippines during World War II. The total distance marched from Mariveles to San Fernando and from the Capas Train Station to Camp O'Donnell is variously reported by differing sources as between 60 and 69.6 miles (96.6 and 112.0 km). Differing sources also report widely differing prisoner of war casualties prior to reaching Camp O'Donnell: from 5,000 to 18,000 Filipino deaths and 500 to 650 American deaths during the march. The march was characterized by severe physical abuse and wanton killings, and was later judged by an Allied military commission to be a Japanese war crime.

By Richard Sassaman Major Marshall Hurt was not having a good morning. Around midnight, he and Colonel Everett Williams, both bachelors on Major General Edward King’s staff, had volunteered to try to find a Japanese officer who would accept the surrender of King’s 75,000 American and Filipino defenders of the Bataan peninsula. The next hours of the Battle of Bataan were filled with noise and confusion. “ The roads were jammed with soldiers who had abandoned arms and equipment in their frantic haste to escape from the advancing Japanese infantry and armored columns and the strafing planes overhead,” wrote Louis Morton in his book The Fall of the Philippines (1953). At 2 a.m. on April 9, 1942, Filipino and American troops who had been trapped on the Bataan peninsula of the Philippines’ Luzon island for three months began exploding their TNT storehouses and hundreds of thousands of rounds of small-arms ammunition and artillery shells to keep them out of Japanese hands."

Freebase (0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition: Bataan Death March The Bataan Death March was the forcible transfer from Saisaih Pt. and Mariveles to Camp O'Donnell by the Imperial Japanese Army of 60,000–80,000 Filipino and American prisoners of war which began on April 9, 1942, after the three-month Battle of Bataan in the Philippines during World War II. About 2,500–10,000 Filipino and 100–650 American prisoners of war died before they could reach their destination. The reported death tolls vary, especially amongst Filipino POWs, because historians cannot determine how many prisoners blended in with the civilian population and escaped. The march went from Mariveles, Bataan, to San Fernando, Pampanga. From San Fernando, survivors were loaded to a box train and were brought to Camp O'Donnell in Capas, Tarlac. The 60 mi march was characterized by occasional severe physical abuse and resulted in some fatalities inflicted upon prisoners and civilians alike by the Japanese Army. It was later judged by an Allied military commission to be a Japanese war crime."

( AP)The Fourth of July is the most uniquely and intrinsically American of holidays. Thanksgiving is also observed in Canada and Liberia, after all, but surely only the United States could celebrate the anniversary of its revolutionary declaration of independence. Except that Americans are not the only ones marking the holiday today: thousands of miles away, on the opposite end of the Pacific, the Philippines have the Fourth of July on their calendars as well. Or, they did for a while, anyway; 50 years ago, they either changed the holiday's name or moved it up a few weeks, depending on how you look at it. This is the story of the Philippines' Fourth of July. The Philippines actually declared their independence on June 12, 1898, after four centuries of Spanish colonial rule."

One of the reasons was that there was a significant lack of responsibility on the part of the military. The military, riding on a tide of Japanese nationalism which evolved into fascism, had long since taken control from the civilian government by the time of the 1931 Invasion of Manchuria. Actions by the military were sanctioned by the military, and therefore sanctioned by the \"\"government\"\". Some things, like Unit 731, were just a product of innate human cruelty. I doubt anyone can deny, and I'm sure I'll get some negativity for this, that the Japanese have a twisted culture (i.e. the fascination of Issei Sagawa, the Japanese cannibal who was released and became a celebrity) which undoubtedly helped the individual soldiers commit acts of the utmost horror, from pumping women with water until their stomachs ruptured to bayoneting babies (my grandfather saw the aftermath of Nanjing). I'm not saying that all Japanese were bad (my grandmother was in fact given food as a child by Japanese soldiers occupying the area around Guangzhou), but there were simply too many atrocities committed to simply say that \"\"it was just war\"\" and \"\"the victors wrote history\"\".

The code of bushido -- \"\"the way of the warrior\"\" -- was deeply ingrained. Surrender was dishonorable. Defeated Japanese leaders preferred to take their own lives in the painful samurai ritual of seppuku (called hara kiri in the West. Warriors who surrendered were not deemed worthy of regard or respect. This explains, in part, the Japanese mistreatment, torture, and summary execution of POWs). There was no shortage of volunteers for kamikaze missions or of troops willing to serve as human torpedoes or to ride to honorable death on piloted buzz bombs. Japan was dead on its feet in every way but one: The Japanese still had the means -- and the determination -- to make the invading Allied forces pay a terrible price for the final victory. Since the summer of 1944, the armed forces had been drawing units back to Japan in anticipation of a final stand there. The Japanese were prepared to absorb massive casualties."

The sound of cannon fire sends 7,000 hard-charging and motivated athletes surging across the starting line into the New Mexican desert under a vibrant orange and violet sunrise. They whoop and cheer as they embark on one of the most grueling sporting events in America. Retired U. S. Army Col. Ben Skardon, a survivor of the Bataan Death March, shares a laugh with a group of supporters after walking more than eight miles in the 27th annual Bataan Memorial Death March March 20, 2016. Image Credit: Ken Scar / Clemson University Their ranks include wounded warriors, active duty service members, veterans, professional athletes — and last year even a team of circus performers. A large crowd of onlookers tirelessly cheers them on. The cannons fire again and again. As the footsteps of the last starter recede into the distance, a final participant unlike all the others slowly approaches the line in the settling dust. Wearing comfortable dress shoes, slacks and a button-up dress shirt under his bright orange Clemson University windbreaker, he always receives the loudest cheers of all."

Photograph Courtesy of the National Archives & Records Administrationby Kennedy Hickman Updated March 17, 2017Douglas Mac Arthur: Early Life The youngest of three sons, Douglas Mac Arthur was born at Little Rock, AR on January 26, 1880. Born to then-Captain Arthur Mac Arthur, Jr. and his wife Mary, Douglas spent much of his early life moving around the American West as his father's postings changed. Learning to ride and shoot at an early age, Mac Arthur received his early education at the Force Public School in Washington, DC and later at the West Texas Military Academy. Eager to follow in his father into the military, Mac Arthur began seeking an appointment to West Point. After two attempts by his father and grandfather to secure a presidential appointment failed, he passed an appointment examine offered by Representative Theobald Otjen. West Point Entering West Point in 1899, Mac Arthur and Ulysses Grant III became the subjects of intense hazing as the sons of high-ranking officers and for the fact that their mothers were lodging at the nearby Crany's Hotel. Though called before a Congressional committee on hazing, Mac Arthur downplayed his own experiences rather than implicate other cadets. The hearing resulted in Congress banning hazing of any sort in 1901. An outstanding student, he held several leadership positions within the Corps of Cadets including First Captain in his final year at the academy."

Philippine History World War 2 and Japanese Occupation World War II and Japanese occupation The Story of The Bataan Death March War came unexpectedly to the Philippines. Japan openned a surprise attack on the Philippines on December 8, 1941, when Japan attacked without warning, just ten hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Japanese troops attacked the islands in many places and launched a pincer drive on Manila. Aerial bombardment was followed by landings of ground troops in Luzon. The defending Philippine and United States troops were under the command of General Douglas Mac Arthur. Under the pressure of superior numbers, the defending forces (about 80,000 troops, four fifths of them Filipinos) withdrew to the Bataan Peninsula and to the island of Corregidor at the entrance to Manila Bay where they entrenched and tried to hold until the arrival of reinforcements, meanwhile guarding the entrance to Manila Bay and denying that important harbor to the Japanese. But no reinforcements were forthcoming. Manila, declared an open city to stop its destruction, was occupied by the Japanese on January 2, 1942. The Philippine defense continued until the final surrender of United States-Philippine forces on the Bataan Peninsula in April 1942 and on Corregidor in May. Most of the 80,000 prisoners of war captured by the Japanese at Bataan were forced to undertake the notorious Bataan Death March to a prison camp 105 kilometers to the north."

"text": "\"Full Answer The death march began after the surrender of the American and Filipino joint army forces who had been besieged on the Bataan Peninsula of Luzon Island in the Philippines. The Japanese army sought to transfer these new prisoners of war to a camp large enough to accommodate them. After being forced to lay down weapons and turn over all personal effects, the soldiers were marched under duress to a camp outside the city of Balanga. Along this route, a number of prisoners succumbed to dehydration, dysentery and malnutrition. Stragglers in the procession were beaten, cut with bayonets, and even executed. The camp at Balanga proved to be insufficient to house all the prisoners, and as disease spread it forced Japanese commanders to continue the transfer of prisoners to a larger camp. The Death March then continued from Balanga to the city of San Fernando. More soldiers died along this route, or were executed by \"\"clean up\"\" squads who refused to tolerate stragglers. From San Fernando, the prisoners were taken by train to their eventual destination, the prison camp at Capas in central Luzon. It is estimated that perhaps as many as 5,000 U. S. and Filipino soldiers died during the march, but many prisoners escaped with the help of natives and villagers, so exact numbers are difficult to determine."

"text": "\"Clothing in Elizabethan England From The Elizabethan People by Henry Thew Stephenson: New York, Henry Holt and Company. One who would comprehend the style of Elizabethan dress must, for the time being, set aside all notion of simplicity or fit. In fact, the people of that time carried their idea of what was proper in wearing apparel to such a ridiculous extreme that they were made the subject of innumerable satires; and dress was the most popular point of attack by all the abusive writers on reform. Bright colours, elaborate trimmings, and excessive padding are the most notable characteristics of Elizabethan dress. Padding was so full that all outward semblance to the human form was completely lost, both to men and to women. \"\" There is not any people under the zodiac of heaven,\"\" says Philip Stubbes, \"\"however clownish, rural, or brutish soever, that is so poisoned with the arsenic of Pride or hath drunk so deep of the dregs of this cup as Alga [England] hath.\"\" Harrison, a contributor to Holinshed's history, wrote: \"\"The phantastical folly of our nation (even from the courtier to the carter) is such that no form of apparel liketh us longer than the first garment is in the wearing, if it continue so long, and be not laid aside to receive some other trinket newly devised by the fickle-headed tailors, who covet to have several tricks in cutting, thereby to draw fond customers to more expense of money. . . . And as these fashions are diverse, so likewise it is a world to see the costliness and the curiosity, the excess and the vanity, the pomp and the bravery, and finally the fickleness and folly, that is in all degrees, insomuch that nothing is more constant in England than inconstancy of attire. \"\" Stubbes was a satirist, and Harrison a plain historian; the following quotation is from Camden, the most learned scholar of the age:\"\"In these days [1574] a wondrous excess of Apparel had spread itself all over England, and the habit of our own country, though a peculiar vice incident to our apish nation, grew into such contempt, that men by their new fangled garments, and too gaudy apparel, discovered a certain deformity and arrogancy of mind whilst they jetted up and down in their silks glittering with gold and silver, either imbroidered or laced. The Queen, observing that, to maintain this excess, a great quantity of money was carried yearly out of the land, to buy silks and other outlandish [foreign] wares, to the impoverishing of the commonwealth; and that many of the nobility which might be of great service to the commonwealth and others that they might seem of noble extraction, did, to their own undoing, not only waste their estates, but also run so far in debt, that of necessity they came within the danger of law thereby, and attempted to raise troubles and commotions when they had wasted their own patrimonies; although she might have proceeded against them by the laws of King Henry VIII and Queen Mary, and thereby have fined them in great sums of money, yet she chose rather to deal with them by way of command."

Hanson, University of Michigan-Dearborn The Renaissance Outfit | Sumptuary Laws | Sources | Additional Links The Renaissance Outfit\"\"Is that thine codling or art thou glad to see me?\"\" Anne Boleyn, to Duke Fabrizio of Bologna, apocryphal. Due to laws prohibiting who was allowed to wear what, and the cost of materials, there was a vast difference in attire between the classes. Not only did materials vary, but styles as well, as the lower classes opted for practicality in their clothing by necessity. Lower classes, such as laborers and apprentices would wear linen, a light, cool fabric derived from the flax plant, wool, or sheepskin. Cotton had been in production since antiquity, but its import and manufacture was prohibited in Elizabethan England in order to protect the wool industry, one of England's chief exports. It was not until cotton farming in the new world and Eli Whitney's development of the cotton gin in 1793 that cotton become a favored fabric (Cotton). An example of middle-class women's dress, c. 1570Fabrics available to those in the upper classes included silk, satin, velvet, and brocade. As this was prior to the industrial revolution, all harvesting, weaving, and production of fabrics and clothing was done by hand, thus greatly influencing price. As with fabric choices, the lower classes were limited in the amount of clothing they could afford, and may only have one set of clothing."

Studying the outfits that Germans wore traditionally helps us get an insight into their culture. Every region in the world is easily identifiable by the kind of clothing that was traditionally worn there. From the 'kimonos' worn in Japan to the 'sarees' draped in India, from the 'kilts' of Scotland to the 'pueblas' of Mexico, these outfits were, and still are, synonymous with the culture of the country. Clothing that was traditionally worn in Germany is no different. The clothes that men and women wore traditionally tell us a lot about the country and its culture. What Germans Wore To actually understand the German clothing of the years gone by, it is important to understand the concept of tracht. Clothes helped identify a person's standing in society. Along with accessories, the style of facial hair, and adornments, the entire outfit and way of presentation was called tracht. It allowed people to know certain things about another person."

Contact Author The Elizabethan period in costume design refers to that time encompassed by the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (from 1558 - 1603) during the Renaissance. The daughter of King Henry VIII and Ann Boleyn, Elizabeth became one of the world's most famous monarchs. The style of clothing and fashions of the Elizabethan era are distinctive and striking, easily recognizable today and popular with designers of historic costume. As in the Middle Ages, the fabrics used to create garments of the Elizabethans were wool and linen. Clothing worn by the upper classes also included silk, cotton, and other imported fabrics. Fashions worn by the elite inspired the dress of lower classes and rural women, though the fabric, weave, and embellishments improved with economic status. The clothing worn by Elizabethans look heavy and over done to many of us today. But weather in England during the period was cool and wet as northern Europe shivered in the grip of a mini Ice Age. So the heaviness of Elizabethan fashion was out of necessity, yet is remembered as romantic and beautiful, and still popular as seen at the Renaissance Festivals of modern times."

Historians often depict it as the golden age in English history. The symbol of Britannia (a female personification of Great Britain) was first used in 1572, and often thereafter, to mark the Elizabethan age as a renaissance that inspired national pride through classical ideals, international expansion, and naval triumph over the Spanish – at the time, a rival kingdom much hated by the people of the land. In terms of the entire century, the historian John Guy (1988) argues that \"\"England was economically healthier, more expansive, and more optimistic under the Tudors \"\" than at any time in a thousand years. [ 1]This \"\"golden age\"\" [2] represented the apogee of the English Renaissance and saw the flowering of poetry, music and literature. The era is most famous for theatre, as William Shakespeare and many others composed plays that broke free of England's past style of theatre. It was an age of exploration and expansion abroad, while back at home, the Protestant Reformation became more acceptable to the people, most certainly after the Spanish Armada was repulsed. It was also the end of the period when England was a separate realm before its royal union with Scotland. The Elizabethan Age contrasts sharply with the previous and following reigns. It was a brief period of internal peace between the English Reformation and the religious battles between Protestants and Catholics and then the political battles between parliament and the monarchy that engulfed the remainder of the seventeenth century."

"text": "\"Renaissance [ edit]The Renaissance period encompasses several centuries, so the focus in this article will be the Renaissance before Elizabeth (since we have Elizabethan fashion covered later)Historical Period The Renaissance is a historical era and cultural movement in Europe that spanned from the 14th to 17th centuries. The term Renaissance is a French word that means \"\"rebirth\"\". The Renaissance started in Italy and spread throughout Europe through the 14th through 17th centuries. While the period included great leaps in intellectual, educational and socio-political pursuits the period is probably best known for the artists and great thinkers of the time, which include Leonardo Da Vinci, Galileo, and Michelangelo. Clothing and Style Clothing played a large role in Renaissance society, as clothing in the Renaissance was all about defining and showing off one's social status. Germanic, Italian and French fashions heavily influenced the rest of Europe in the period. Clothing was one of the main ways that the wealthy displayed their wealth to the world, and so it was the wealthy that set the fashions and trends that were to be followed. Because of the great difference in wealth and class in Renaissance Europe there are several different fashions, ranging from what the wealthiest would wear to what peasants might wear. Because of the ever-changing times of the Renaissance, fashions also changed more rapidly in this era than in eras before it. The wealthy displayed their wealth by wearing expensive fabrics such as silk, brocade, velvet, and cotton (Cotton was at this time in history kind of hard to come by in and was thus a 'wealthy' fabric)."

This response, described as \"\"The Revolution of 1559\"\", [1] was set out in two Acts. The Act of Supremacy of 1558 re-established the Church of England 's independence from Rome, with Parliament conferring on Elizabeth the title Supreme Governor of the Church of England, while the Act of Uniformity of 1559 outlined what form the English Church should take, including the re-establishment of the Book of Common Prayer. As for the governance of the church, all but one of the Marian bishops refused to consecrate a new Archbishop of Canterbury (canon law from the 4th century required a minimum of three for consecration). Intent upon maintaining the three-fold ministry of deacon, priest and bishop in the apostolic succession, Matthew Parker, a Cambridge University don (lecturer), priest and former vice-chancellor of the university, was consecrated in December 1559 by four bishops. Two had been ordained using the 1550 Ordinal and two in the mid-1530s using the Roman Pontifical. All four had been consecrated by men in Roman Catholic orders."

"text": "\"Full Text:10 Elizabethan Drama Of all the arts in Elizabethan England, drama was the most popular, and left behind the most enduring legacy. Not a single theater existed in England until well after Elizabeth I (1533–1603) took the throne in 1558. Within two decades of the building of the first major theater in the mid-1570s, however, a huge and varied body of Elizabethan comedy, tragedy, revenge plays, and history chronicles arose. Rising Elizabethan dramatists like John Lyly (1554–1606), Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593), and Thomas Kyd (1558–1594) surpassed the limits of known drama—European theater and the classical drama of ancient Greece and Rome—by portraying complex political, psychological, and historical themes. The most noted playwright of the English language, William Shakespeare (1564–1616), was only twelve years old when the first theater was built in England. With his plays Shakespeare brought Elizabethan drama—and English culture in general—to unexpected new heights. At the beginning of the Elizabethan Era, the period associated with the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1558–1603) that is often considered to be a golden age in English history, most English drama was based on two ancient genres: mystery plays and morality plays. Mystery plays were simple enactments of scenes from the Bible. Performed in churches or churchyards, they were popular on religious holidays like Christmas and Easter. Morality plays were allegories (stories that represent abstract ideas or principles as characters, figures, or events) that depicted a struggle between the forces of good and evil."

The dark and heavy fabrics of the previous era, designed to make men look aggressive and dominant, was replaced with a lighter, more athletic look. At this time, men's clothing was designed to show off a narrow waist, long legs and a broad chest.

Popular alternatives included the brimless knitted cap and the high-crowned hat, known as a copotain. Wool, woolen felt and leather were common material choices for hats, while wealthier gentleman preferred animal fur, particularly beaver. Hats were generally decorated with a hatband, which was often adorned with a feather or jeweled hat pin."

"text": "History > Tudor > Elizabethan Theatre Elizabethan Theatre BY DAVID ROSS, EDITORElizabethan theatre and the name of William Shakespeare are inextricably bound together, yet there were others writing plays at the same time as the bard of Avon. One of the most successful was Christopher Marlowe, who many contemporaries considered Shakespeare's superior. Marlowe's career, however, was cut short at a comparatively young age when he died in a tavern fight in Deptford, the victim of a knife in the eye. Theatre had an unsavory reputation. London authorities refused to allow plays within the city, so theatres opened across the Thames in Southwark, outside the authority of the city administration. Shakespeare The first proper theatre as we know it was the Theatre, built at Shoreditch in 1576. Before this time plays were performed in the courtyard of inns, or sometimes, in the houses of noblemen. A noble had to be careful about which play he allowed to be performed within his home, however. Anything that was controversial or political was likely to get him in trouble with the crown! After the Theatre, further open air playhouses opened in the London area, including the Rose (1587), and the Hope (1613)."

The translation and definition of the Elizabethan words and meanings used in the Elizabethan language make the literature of the era, including the works of William Shakespeare much easier to understand!Translation of the Elizabethan Language to today's English: Firstly, lets look at the reasons why translation of some of the Elizabethan language is problematic: 1. Many words used in the Elizabethan language are no longer in use. Other words have replaced them or the original meaning and use of the words are no longer required 2. An amusing example of words now 'extinct' in the modern English language is 'gong'. The Elizabethan word 'gong' meant dung. The men whose job was to empty and dispose of the waste from the privies (toilets) were called 'Gong Farmers'! 3. The Elizabethan alphabet contained 24 letters, as opposed to the present day alphabet of 26 letters 4."

In fact it is quite significant that there is even a Elizabethan law related to it. These laws stated the colors as well as the type of clothing an individual was allowed to own and wear. These laws were called 'Statutes of Apparel \"\" and was enforced by the Queen herself in Greenwich on June 1574. The intent was to maintain social structure as well as to keep a firm restrain on the people's expenditure towards clothing. Basically, Elizabethan Clothing was a part of the social order. It is also indicative of a particular person's status not only reflecting how wealthy or poor they are but also of their social reputation. For example, back then it is absurd for a peasant to copy more well off individuals through \"\"luxurious\"\" clothing which were only worn by upper classes. Social Class and Clothing The upper class of Elizabethan England wore elegant and luxurious clothing that were made of expensive velvet, exotic silk and satin. Only the members of the Royal Family were allowed to own robes which were trimmed with ermine."

Who Was Percy Julian? Born in Alabama in 1899, pioneering chemist Percy Julian was not allowed to attend high school but went on to earn his Ph. D. His research at academic and corporate institutions led to the chemical synthesis of drugs to treat glaucoma and arthritis, and although his race presented challenges at every turn, he is regarded as one of the most influential chemists in American history. Early Life Percy Lavon Julian was born April 11, 1899, in Montgomery, Alabama, the grandson of former slaves. He attended school through the eighth grade but there were no high schools open to black students. He applied to De Pauw University in Greencastle, Indiana, where he had to take high school-level classes in the evening to get him up to the academic level of his peers. In spite of this challenging beginning, he graduated first in his class, with Phi Beta Kappa honors. Life in Academia After college, Julian accepted a position as a chemistry instructor at Fisk University. He left in 1923 when he received a scholarship to attend Harvard University to finish his master’s degree, though the university would not allow him to pursue his doctorate."

Both her parents were revolutionaries and writers: Her father William Godwin (1756-1836) was an English journalist and novelist and one of the major proponents of anarchist philosophy. His most famous works were An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice, an attack on political institutions, and The Adventures of Caleb Williams, which attacks aristocratic privilege. Mary's mother Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797), one of the earliest feminists, was equally radical. In her book A Vindication of the Rights of Women Wollstonecaft argues that the inferior role of women in society was not natural, but rather a consequence of miseducation. She called for equality of women and men, the women's right to work and proper education for girls. Although she died ten days after giving birth to her daughter Mary, her works continued to influence Mary Shelley. Mary grew up surrounded by intellectual minds and she was educated and tutored by her father, who married his second wife Mary Jane Clairmont in 1801. In 1812 Mary Wollstonecroft Godwin met Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822), who visited her father at his bookshop. Percy Shelley, a poet and radical free-thinker, fell in love with Mary, despite being still married to his first wife Harriet."

Answer by On the Wallaby Confidence votes 291KPassionate about all things Australian Percy Le Baron Spencer is regarded as the inventor of the microwave oven. Spencer worked as an engineer with the Raytheon company, which was a company that developed defence and industrial equipment. The story goes that the concept of the microwave was discovered by accident while Spencer was experimenting with and testing a magnetron (diode vacuum tube). The magnetron, which had been invented during WWII at Manchester University, produced microwaves of such high frequency and power that it was invaluable in directing allied aircraft to intercept German Luftwaffe raiders during the battle of Britain. The magnetron was passed to Raytheon in the USA for further development. During testing, Dr Spencer reached into his pocket for his chocolate bar and discovered it had completely melted. He noted the connection between the melted chocolate and the heat-producing magnetron, and tested his theory on a bag of unpopped corn kernels, which then popped. In further testing, he placed an egg in front of the magnetron, and the egg exploded."

Microwave energy is a natural phenomenon that occurs when electric current flows through a conductor. Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation that is very similar to sunlight and radio waves. A Brief History of the Microwave Oven Like many of today's great inventions, the microwave oven was a by-product of another technology. It was during a radar-related research project around 1946 that Dr. Percy Spencer, a self-taught engineer with the Raytheon Corporation, noticed something very unusual. He was testing a new vacuum tube called a magnetron (we are searching for a picture of an actual 1946 magnetron), when he discovered that the candy bar in his pocket had melted. This intrigued Dr. Spencer, so he tried another experiment."

Julian, a groundbreaking African American chemist, inventor, and leader has the achievements and honors to make it to the top of any list of great African Americans, American scientists, or medical innovators. Yet, somehow, despite the fact that Julian's work surrounds us everyday, he remains largely unknown. The events in Julian's life--and what we take from them--are as varied as the products he had a hand in developing throughout the better half of the 20th century. From the foam that puts out fires and the latex paint on our walls to birth control pills and the steroids used to relieve arthritis pain and allergies, there is no question that Julian's life work has impacted our daily lives. The question that does exist is: why this hero of chemistry, medicine, and Civil Rights is largely forgotten in the canon of scientific researchers and black history? The theme of Percy Julian's life could be one about outstanding achievements in the face of great obstacles; it could also be one about oppression and missing opportunities; and, still, it could be one offering an example of community service and bravery. He was born Percy Lavon Julian on April 11, 1899 in Montgomery, Alabama. His grandparents had been slaves, and despite the fact that the Emancipation Proclamation was issued more than thirty years prior, the line drawn between blacks and whites was clear, and racial discrimination and inferior treatment could be seen all around, from the \"\"whites only\"\" signs on the water fountains, restaurants, bathrooms, and buses, to the lack of access to libraries and schools for black citizens. Percy's father was a railroad mail clerk, and his mother was a teacher."

Garrett, at the early age of 14 decided that he should travel north to Ohio in order to receive a better education. Morgan is an inspiration to many education seekers today, whether pursuing business with an AACSB accredited online MBA or masters in education. He moved to Cincinnati and then to Cleveland, working as a handyman in order to make ends meet. In Cleveland, he learned the inner workings of the sewing machine and in 1907 opened his own sewing machine store, selling new machines and repairing old ones. In 1908 Morgan married Mary Anne Hassek with whom he would have three sons. In 1909, Morgan opened a tailoring shop, selling coats, suits and dresses. While working in this shop he came upon a discover which brought about his first invention. He noticed that the needle of a sewing machine moved so fast that its friction often scorched the thread of the woolen materials. He thus set out to develop a liquid that would provide a useful polish to the needle, reducing friction."

Today, physostigmine is most commonly used for its medicinal value however before its discovery by Sir Robert Christison in 1846, it was more prevalent as a poison. The positive medical applications of the drug were first suggested in the gold medal winning final thesis of Thomas Richard Fraser at the University of Edinburgh in 1862.

Because it enhances the transmission of acetylcholine signals in the brain and can cross the blood–brain barrier, physostigmine salicylate is used to treat anticholinergic poisoning (that is, poisoning by substances that interfere with the transmission of acetylcholine signaling, such as atropine, scopolamine, and other anticholinergic drug overdoses). It is also used to reverse neuromuscular blocking."

"text": "posted by Gaius Chamberlain, 26th January 2014, Categories: Science Tags: Inventor Percy Julian should be a name known to all of society for the contributions he made to the field of science. His research and development of synthetic compounds made him one of the most significant contributors to science and health care in the 20th century. Percy Julian was born on April 11, 1899 in Birmingham, Alabama, one of six children. His father, a railroad mail clerk, and his mother, a school teacher stressed education to their children. His father was denied the opportunity to pursue an education and was determined that his children would have that chance. This emphasis would ultimately prove successful as two sons went on to become physicians and three daughters would receive Masters degrees. His son Percy, however, would become the most successful of the children. Percy attended elementary school in Birmingham, Alabama later moved to Montgomery where he attended high school at the State Normal School for Negroes. Upon graduation in 1916, Julian applied to and was accepted into De Pauw University in Greencastle, Indiana. At De Pauw, he began as a probationary student, having to take higher level high school classes along with his freshman and sophomore course load."

It’s been made into films over and over again, and its influence is still felt in modern horror. Today it is viewed as a classic and taught in schools and colleges, yet the story of how Frankenstein came about is just as interesting as the novel itself.10 It Was Written For A Contest In the summer of 1816, Mary Godwin, her lover Percy Bysshe Shelley, John William Polidori, and Claire Clairmont (Mary’s step-sister) visited Lord Byron in Geneva, Switzerland. The idea was to relax and enjoy the mild Swiss summer, but that summer was especially dreary. Unable to enjoy the outdoors, the group mostly read German ghost stories to entertain themselves. It was that reading that inspired Byron to propose that the group write their own supernatural stories and see who could come up with the best one. Byron wrote only fragments. Polidori really didn’t come up with anything, but came up with something later based on Byron’s ideas. Mary retired for the evening and had a dream of a corpse that came back to life. Based on that dream she wrote Frankenstein."

"text": "\"The Life of Percy Lavon Julian '20February 19, 2009Email Tweet Born in 1899 in Montgomery, Ala., Percy Lavon Julian was raised by parents who deeply valued education. His mother, Elizabeth, a schoolteacher, and his father, James, first met at the Lincoln Normal School ( now Alabama State University), one of the few places in the state where a black person could continue school beyond the eighth grade. Upon James' graduation, his teacher, Joan Stuart, a native of Danville, Ind., offered him a chance to attend De Pauw. With a young family to support, James turned Stuart down, instead going to work on the railroad for the U. S. Postal System. But opportunity would knock twice for the Julian family. Years later, when Percy graduated from the same school his parents attended, Stuart, still teaching, again extended the De Pauw offer. This time, under different circumstances, a young black man could choose a new path. As his train left Montgomery for De Pauw, Percy Julian watched his family standing on the station's platform. His grandfather, a former slave freed by the Thirteenth Amendment, waved a hand missing two fingers, cut off as punishment for learning to write. It was a painful reminder of the past for Julian, and an image that would inspire him in the years ahead."

Latimer was born on September 4, 1848 in Chelsea, Massachusetts. His parents were George and Rebecca Latimer, both runaway slaves who migrated to Massachusetts in 1842 from Virginia. George Latimer was captured by his slave owner, who was determined to take him back to Virginia. His situation gained great notoriety, even reaching the Massachusetts Supreme Court. Eventually George was purchased by abolition supporters who set him free. Lewis served in the United States Navy for the Union during the Civil War, assigned to the U. S. S. Massasoit gunboat and received an honorable discharge on July 3, 1865. After his discharge he sought employment throughout Boston, Massachusetts and eventually gained a position as an office boy with a patent law firm, Crosby and Gould earning $3.00 each week. After observing Latimer’s ability to sketch patent drawings, he was eventually promoted to the position of head draftsman earning $20.00 a week. In addition to his newfound success, Latimer found additional happiness when he married Mary Wilson in November of 1873."

The month of February was selected in deference to Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln who were both born in that month. The son of a slave, Carter G. Woodson was born in New Canton, Virginia on December 19, 1875. He began high school at the age of 20 and then proceeded to study at Berea College, the University of Chicago, the Sorbonne, and Harvard University, where he earned a Ph. D. in 1912. Carter G. Woodson founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History in 1915 to train Black historians and to collect, preserve, and publish documents on Black life and Black people. He also founded the Journal of Negro History (1916), Associated Publishers (1922), and the Negro Bulletin (1937). Woodson spent his life working to educate all people about the vast contributions made by Black men and women throughout history. Mr. Woodson died on April 3, 1950 and Black History Month is his legacy. Carter G. Woodson, however, would be sad to know that out of all the hundreds of Black men and women who produced so many substantial inventions (from the development of crop rotation, the traffic light, the mail box, gas mask, fountain pen, typewriter, telegraph, golf tee, automatic gear shift, commode toilet--- to the method of dry cleaning clothes, the electric lamp, and the automatic car coupler and air brake for the railroad) benefiting this country, only four Black inventors have been inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in Akron, Ohio."

' The most ambitious building program in Greek history, the building of the Parthenon was Pericles' greatest triumph and he oversaw the project personally. Costing 5000 talents in the first year alone - a figure equivalent to some $3 billion in today's money - the building was completed in less than 15 years, despite attempts to derail the projects by Pericles' political opponents. Made from 20 thousand tons of marble quarried from nearby Mount Pentelicus, the huge cost of the building was partly financed from the treasury of the Delian League, which caused great resentment among many of Athens' allies, who were to be the source of many future troubles..."

"text": "Parthenon Metopes Greek Pottery The Parthenon Work began on the Parthenon, built on the Acropolis, in 447 BC to replace an existing temple which was destroyed by the Persians in 480 BC and cost 469 silver talents to build. The work began under the orders of Pericles to show the wealth and exuberance of Athenian power. The name of the building most likely came from a cult statue of Athena Parthenos housed in the eastern room of the building. This magnificent structure was built of ivory and gold and was sculptured by the renowned sculptor Phidias. As with most buildings on the Acropolis it was dedicated to Athena to thank the Goddess for their success. The Parthenon was finally finished in 432 BC and was to show the world the dominance and power of Athens. The vast majority of the money used in the construction came from the Delian League funds. The Delian League was a treaty between the Greek states in league against the Persian Empire. However two years before work started on the Parthenon, the Athenians had struck a peace treaty with the Persians ending the war, although the League continued to exist. It is believed that because of this the league stopped being a mutual defence against Persia but part of the Athenian Empire."

Democracy in Athens was refined under the leadership of Pericles. The Classical Period began with the Greek victory over the Persians and a new feeling of self-confidence in the Greek world. This was a war for freedom, and the Greeks would continue on, free from Persian rule. The Persian Wars was one of the rare times that several Greek city-states cooperated for the sake of all Greek people. Not since the Trojan War, 800 years earlier, had the Greeks joined together. Greece would go on to great achievements, especially Athens. One of the most spectacular achievements in Athens during this time was the rebuilding of the Parthenon, a temple dedicated to Athena on the Acropolis. When we talk about the accomplishments of the Greeks in the Classical Period, we are really talking about Athens. The polis of Athens prospered after the defeat of the Persians in 479 BC."

He opened Athenian democracy to the ordinary citizen, he built the magnificent temples and statues on the Acropolis, and he created the Athenian empire. Pericles was born in Athens in about 495 BC to a family of wealth and position. His father, Xanthippus, was also a statesman, and his mother, Agariste, was a member of the politically powerful Alcmaeonid family. Pericles himself first gained fame in the spring of 472, when he provided and trained the chorus for Aeschylus' play 'The Persians'. Pericles was first elected strategos, or general, in 458. Generals were elected yearly to devise and carry out the strategy necessary to manage the affairs of state at home and abroad. Pericles won reelection frequently for about 30 years. In a time of kings and tyrants as rulers, his policy at home was to place the state in the hands of the whole body of citizens under the rule of law."

With battles occurring at home and abroad, the long and complex conflict was damaging to both sides but Sparta, with financial help from Persia, finally won the conflict by destroying the Athenian fleet at Aegospotami in 405 BCE. Causes of the War In the 5th century BCE Sparta and Athens were the two major powers in Greece and it was perhaps inevitable that their spheres of influence would overlap and cause conflict. Sparta seems to have been particularly alarmed at the growing power of Athens, able to build an ever-bigger fleet of ships thanks to tributes from its allies and dependants. Sparta was also suspicious of the Athenians' project to rebuild their Long Wall fortifications which protected their harbour of Piraeus. In addition, Sparta was also concerned that inaction would push the other major Greek power, Corinth, to side with Athens. What has become known as The First Peloponnesian War (c. 460-446 BCE) was less intense than the second and fought mainly between Athens and Corinth with occasional intervention by Sparta. The war was followed by the Thirty Year’s Peace although in reality hostilities never fully ceased and broke out into full war once again from 431 BCE. Greek Civilians became much more involved in warfare & the entire citizen bodies of city -states could be wiped out. A flashpoint in Spartan-Athenian relations was Poteidaia in 432 BCE."

Athens, Greece Greek statesman Pericles was the leading statesman of Athens and brought it to the height of its political power and artistic achievement. The years from 446 to 429 B. C. E. have been called the Periclean Age. Early life and family Pericles was the son of Xanthippus, a statesman and general of an upper class family (probably the Bouzygae), and Agariste, a niece of the famous statesman Cleisthenes, the leader of a powerful clan, the Alcmeonidae. Pericles inherited great wealth; as a young man, he put up the money for the costly production of Aeschylus's play The Persae in 472 B. C. E. Pericles received the best education available, studying music under Damon and mathematics under Zeno of Elea. His greatest influence was a scholar named Anaxagoras, who taught him how to make speeches and was a model of the calm style that Pericles would use in politics. In his pursuit of a public career, Pericles chose to speak out in favor of a more advanced democracy. Champion of democracy Pericles became prominent in the Assembly, where he called for constitutional reform. He worked closely with Ephialtes, an older and more established leader of democratic views. They were both elected generals sometime before 462. In 462–461 they decided to attack Cimon, a leading conservative (one who believes in maintaining things as they are) and the most powerful of the generals in office, by accusing him of bribery."

Figure 1. Plan of the Acropolis. The most important temple was the Parthenon of c. 432 B. C., designed especially for Athena Parthenos, the virgin goddess and patron of the city-state (figure 1, number 8). Today, a visitor to the British Museum can view remnants of the Parthenon. How, we might ask, is the Parthenon of Athens, Greece linked to England? Why are fragments from the original temple on exhibit in the British Museum? The building was partially destroyed in 1687 when the Turks (who were in charge of Athens at the time) carelessly but unintentionally blew up the Parthenon. One century later the Lord of Elgin, British Ambassador of Constantinople, came along with his team to remove much of the remaining sculptural artwork, including the temple frieze, metopes, and pediment statues. While he acted largely to preserve the artwork, many have criticized Lord Elgin's actions, claiming he did more harm than good."

It seems plain enough that the honors of Salamis should have been given to Attica and to Themistocles but the Peloponnesus was jealous of Attica and therefore the first state prize was give to Ægina. The attempt to choose the most valiant leader was rather amusing, for each commander gave Themistocles second place, but wrote his own name for the first. In dividing [119] the treasure the gods were not forgotten. Three ships of war were dedicated to them. One tenth of the spoils went to Delphi, and of this was made a statue of Apollo three times as tall as a man, and holding in one hand the prow of a vessel. After Platæa the tents abandoned by the Persians were found to be fairly ablaze with treasures. There were bowls and goblets, and even kettles, of solid gold; there were couches covered with plates of gold; there were golden bracelets and chains; and there were swords and scimitars with golden handles. As for gorgeously embroidered cloaks and curtains and carpets, they were so common that no one made any account of them. Of this, too, the gods had their full share."

"text": "\"The Peloponnesian War (431 - 404 B. C.)12. The Peloponnesian War and Athenian Life Athens and Sparta had cooperated during the Persian War, but relations between these two most powerful states in mainland Greece deteriorated in the decades following the Greek victories of 479 B. C. The deterioration had progressed to open hostilities by the middle of the century. The peace struck in 446/445 formally ended the fighting, supposedly for thirty years. New disagreements that arose in the 430s over how each of the two states should treat the allies of the other led to the collapse of the peace, however. When negotiations to settle the disagreements collapsed, the result was the devastating war of twenty-seven years that modern historians call the Peloponnesian War after the location of Sparta and most of its allies in the Peloponnese, the large peninsula that forms the southernmost part of mainland Greece. The war dragged on from 431 to 404 B. C. and engulfed almost the entire Greek world. This bitter conflict, extraordinary in Greek classical history for its protracted length, wreaked havoc on the social and political harmony of Athens, its economic strength, and the day-to-day existence of many of its citizens. The severe pressures that the war brought to bear on Athens were expressed most prominently in the comedies produced by Aristophanes on the Athenian dramatic stage during the war years.12.1. The course of the Peloponnesian War The history of the Peloponnesian War reveals both the unpredictability of war in general and the particular consequences of the repeated unwillingness of the Athenian assembly to negotiate peace terms with the other side. The other side of that same coin, of course, is the remarkable resilience shown by Athens in recovering from disastrous defeats and losses of population."

Gill Updated March 07, 2017Fast Facts About Greece> The Age of Pericles The Age of Pericles refers to part of the Classical Age of Greece, when the dominant polis -- in terms of culture and politics -- was Athens, Greece. Most of the cultural wonders that we associate with ancient Greece come from this period. Greek Timeline The Dates of the Classical Age Sometimes the term \"\"Classical Age\"\" refers to the entire expanse of ancient Greek history, from the archaic period, but when used to distinguish one era from the next, the Classical Age of Greece begins with the Persian Wars (490-479 B. C.) and ends with either the empire-building or the death of the Macedonian leader Alexander the Great (323 B. C.). The Classical Age is followed by the Hellenistic Age that Alexander ushered in. Besides war, the Classical era in Athens, Greece, produced great literature, philosophy, drama, and art. There is a single name that signifies this artistic period: Pericles. The Age of Pericles (in Athens)The Age of Pericles runs from the middle of the 5th century to either his death at the start of the Peloponnesian War or the end of the war, in 404. Pericles as Leader While he was not a king or dictator in charge of Athens, Greece, Pericles was the foremost statesman of Athens from 461-429. Pericles was repeatedly elected to be one of the 10 strategoi (generals)."

"text": "\"Lecture 6The Athenian Origins of Direct Democracy One of the hallmarks of GREEK CIVILIZATION was the polis, or city-state. The city-states were small, independent communities which were male-dominated and bound together by race. What this means is that membership in the polis was hereditary and could not be passed on to someone outside the citizen family. The citizens of any given polis were an elite group of people – slaves, peasants, women and resident aliens were not part of the body of citizens. Originally the polis referred to a defensible area to which farmers of a particular area could retreat in the event of an attack. The Acropolis in Athens is one such example. Over time, towns grew around these defensible areas. The growth of these towns was unplanned and unlike the city-states we encounter at Sumer, they were not placed for commercial convenience near rivers or seas. In fact, the poleis were situated well inland to avoid raids by sea. With time, the agora or marketplace began to appear within the polis."

( November 2013) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Fifth-century Athens is the Greek city-state of Athens in the time from 480 BC-404 BC. This was a period of Athenian political hegemony, economic growth and cultural flourishing formerly known as the Golden Age of Athens with the later part The Age of Pericles. The period began in 478 BC after defeat of the Persian invasion, when an Athenian-led coalition of city-states, known as the Delian League, confronted the Persians to keep the liberated Asian Greek cities free. After peace was made with Persia in the mid 5th century BCE, what started as an alliance of independent city-states became an Athenian empire when Athens abandoned the pretense of parity among its allies and relocated the Delian League treasury from Delos to Athens, where it funded the building of the Athenian Acropolis and put half its population on the public payroll and maintained dominating naval power in the Greek world. With the empire's funds, military dominance and its political fortunes guided by statesman and orator Pericles, Athens produced some of the most influential and enduring cultural artifacts of the Western tradition. The playwrights Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides all lived and worked in 5th century BCE Athens, as did the historians Herodotus and Thucydides, the physician Hippocrates, and the philosopher Socrates. Athens' patron goddess was Athena, from whom they derived the name."

It lasted from 431 BC to 404 BC. Athens ended up losing the war, bringing an end to the golden age of Ancient Greece. Where did the name Peloponnesian come from? The word Peloponnesian comes from the name of the peninsula in southern Greece called the Peloponnese. This peninsula was home to many of the great Greek city-states including Sparta, Argos, Corinth, and Messene. Before the War After the Persian War, Athens and Sparta had agreed to a Thirty Year Peace. They didn't want to fight each other while they were trying to recover from the Persian War. During this time, Athens became powerful and wealthy and the Athenian empire grew under the leadership of Pericles. Sparta and its allies became increasingly jealous and distrustful of Athens."

"text": "\"The History of ancient Athens From the Neolithic to the Bronze Age The history of Ancient Athens dates back to 6,000 years ago. The first inhabitants of Attica (the wider area of Athens), of who we are aware, lived during the Neolithic Period (6,000-2,800 BC). They used to stay in caves located near the sea and their main occupations were hunting, fishing, farming and later on they started sailing and making pots. The first settlement must have appeared in Athens in 4,000 BC. That period was succeeded by the Bronze Age (2,800-1,100 BC) which is divided into two periods; the Early and the Middle-Late. During the Early Bronze Age which lasted 800 years, new people appeared in the coastal areas of Attica known as Indo-Europeans and they were merchants or marines who used to settle by the ports. During the second period (Middle and Bronze Age) which lasted until 1,100 BC including the Mycenaean period (1,600-1,100 BC), the Ionian tribe, appeared in Attica. Geometric and Archaic Periods After the collapsing of the Mycenaean civilization the Geometric Period (1,100-700) began. The main characteristics of the Geometric Period are, on one hand, the ruling of members of the nobles and rich landowners who composed the class of the best citizens and on the other hand the commercial flourishing which resulted in the creation of new social classes composed of merchants and craftsmen. The next years are called Archaic Period (700-500 BC) and the foundations of the glorious Athens have been set with the development of external commercial relations."

"text": "\"Useful reading: Russel Meiggs, The Athenian Empire; Victor Ehrenberg, From Solon to Socrates. The last phase in the political development of Athens and its democracy occurred during the political ascendancy of the democratic leader Pericles. Pericles emerged in the public arena at the end of the 460s BC and died during the plague that struck Athens in 429, at the very outset of the Peloponnesian War. At that time we are told that he had held the office of strategos (general) 17 consecutive years, frequently going recognized as \"\"strategos autokrator,\"\" or commander-in-chief of the armed forces. A gifted statesman, orator, and politician, Pericles simultaneously guided both Athens' foreign policy through the creation of empire, and its domestic policy through the rise of \"\"radical democracy.\"\" Radical democracy meant \"\"pay for service,\"\" that is, Athenian citizens were paid by the state to participate in public affairs. Various component features to this policy enabled thousands of landless, poor Athenian males, the thetes, to participate in the democracy, particularly in the Ekklesia ad the Popular Courts. This marked an important transition from the Cleisthenic democracy that preceded it. During Cleisthenic democracy only those who could afford to participate in political affairs did so, namely, the aristocracy and the hoplites. In essence, radical democracy marked the outcome of a logical progression in Athenian political thought."

"text": "Phidias Phidias Showing the Frieze of the Parthenon to his Friends (1868) by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema Phidias was an Athenian sculptor, the son of Charmides, and is generally acknowledged as the greatest ancient Greek sculptor and instigator of the classical style of the 5th and 4th centuries BC. Although few facts are known about his life, it is believed he lived from around 490 until 430 BC. No originals of his work exist, but his recognition as a renowned sculptor has been guaranteed due to the praise of ancient writers, as well as the influence his sculptures had on the development of the art. He gained most of his fame for his two enormous chryselephantine (gold and ivory) sculptures: One of Athena in the Parthenon, and the other of Zeus at Olympia. These statues had such a profound impact that they determined all subsequent conceptions of Athena and Zeus. Various people have been rumoured to be responsible for his training: Hegias of Athens, Agelades of Argos and the painter Polygnotus of Thasos. We know of two of Phidias' own pupils, noted by Pausanias, who were also his 'eromenoi' (younger boys taken as lovers by older men). The first, Agoracritus, went on to produce the sculpture of Nemesis at Rhamnus. The second, Pantarkes of Elis, won the boy's wrestling at Olympia in 436 B. C and seems to have been greatly admired by Phidias. This is confirmed by Pausanias' report that the boy was used by Phidias as a model for one of the figures that decorated his great statue of Zeus at Olympia."

His father is British and his mother was a refugee from Germany. According to Pete, he felt a need to be different and began experimenting with his hair and looks at age 12. However, he looked so \"\"freakish\"\" that he was endlessly taunted by teachers and peers, and he finally left school at the age of 16. That same year he met his future wife Lynne Corlett, a teenage hairdresser, when he applied for a job at the same salon where she worked. At first the pair disliked each other, but Lynne sensed something special in the odd and often unpleasant boy. Her patience paid off and Pete opened up to her, the both of them forging a friendship that grew. They tied the knot four years later and have been happily married ever since. Pete worked odd jobs until he turned 18, at which time he became employed at Probe Records in Liverpool. This marked his entrance into the world of music."

As a radio talk show host, Wilson’s goal was to be a moderate in a minefield of talk-radio extremists. Sticking neither to Democratic nor Republican party lines, he seemed like a normal guy in a world of cartoonish blowhards. He often said that his preparation for this role was being a psychiatric medic in Vietnam. He had to learn to deal with all kinds of extremes – a perfect way to learn how to handle some of the people he talked to on KGO-AM (810). One day there was the guy attacking him for his time as governor and the havoc he caused to utility rates. The guy wouldn’t stop long enough to hear Wilson’s answer. “ I’ve never been governor,” he says, patiently sighing and explaining that he shared a name with the San Diego Republican who served as California’s governor and U. S. senator. One of the last people Wilson, 62, spoke to was his KGO-TV colleague, weather anchor Spencer Christian. “I wished him well and to hurry back in two weeks and two days,” Christian said."

As news broke of his death, fans began sharing their favourite memories of the Eighties star. While he is undoubtedly most famous for hits like You Spin Me Round with his band Dead Or Alive, his headline-grabbing stint on Celebrity Big Brother also seems to be a popilar talking point. Here, we take a look at Pete's most shocking moments on the reality show... Pete Burns View gallery Police drama Pete was the target of animal rights groups everywhere when he decided to sport a VERY questionable coast. As he waltzed around in the house, he boasted that the garment was made from gorilla fur. The claim left those tuning in at home and it didn't take long for PETA to be informed. Later that evening, the police were informed that endangered animals had been killed to make the coat and arrived at the house. Big Brother was forced to confiscate the item and hand it over to officers for investigation. Pete wasn't very apologetic about it. In fact, his was response was: \"\"I want my f**king coat back! \"\""

"text": "Gary Usher: the method behind the madnessby Pete Dreyer 21 November 2017Fourteen years old and seemingly out of options, Gary Usher took an apprenticeship at his local pub and washed dishes whilst his siblings went to university. Now he has four restaurants in the North West – and he’s only just getting started. Pete Dreyer Pete is a food writer at Great British Chefs. ‘I didn't have much choice in what I was doing. I wanted to do something academic but I didn't have that brain, so I left school early and washed dishes in a pub for a couple of years. I was about fourteen or so, and that was it – that's how I fell into it. There's definitely no bullshit romantic story. I didn't want to be a cook. ’I wasn’t expecting much in the way of romance from Gary Usher.

"text": "\"Burning Sands| Matt Zoller Seitz March 10, 2017 | 2Print Page Tweet The American college fraternity experience has birthed a growing subgenre of films, with Richard Linklater's \"\"Everybody Wants Some!\"\" and Andrew Neel's \"\" Goat \"\" sparking recent discussion for the way they use Greek organizations' obsession with male bonding rituals and tradition as a way to criticize the world beyond college. The tale of an \"\"Everyman\"\" college student being drafted into a fraternity as a pledge and sticking with it through Hell Week and beyond is inherently dramatic, and not just because it comes with a handy built-in time frame, one semester or year of higher education. Almost every pledge story told on film seems to end up becoming the story of innocence lost or ignorance reinforced. The young man seeking fraternity initiation goes into the experience in search of abstract ideas like \"\"brotherhood\"\" and \"\"oneness,\"\" and emerges on the other side cynical and disillusioned or radicalized and awake. The journey can be played at any emotional pitch, and because the main characters are young men living in the zone between adolescence and true adulthood, the filmmaker can play it all sorts of ways, from slapstick comedy (\"\" Old School \"\") to horror (\"\"The Brotherhood\"\")Advertisement\"\"Burning Sands,\"\" Gerald Mc Murray's feature filmmaking debut, is one of the fresher entries, thanks mainly to its setting: a historically black fraternity on a historically black campus like Howard, the university where the co-writer and director got his degree. Spike Lee's second feature \"\" School Daze \"\" had a subplot set in a black frat and showcased a lot of hazing, but the scenes were played mainly for very grim laughs. \"\" Sands\"\" presents itself in trailers as a comedy along those lines, but it's no joke. Mc Murray's strongest virtue is his ability to thread that comedy-drama needle while he tells the story of Zurich ( Trevor Jackson ), aka Z, into Lambda Phi, a prestigious Greek organization once attended by the school's dean ( Steve Harris ), who proposes the young man for membership. Co-written with Christine Berg, \"\"Burning Sands\"\" often makes the first-time filmmaker's error of trying to say everything that can possibly be said about its chosen subject in two hours and trying to fold the rather slim story into two many generic shapes at the same time, as if the director were afraid that he was never going to make another movie if he failed, so he better make five or six movies while he's at it."

"text": "\"'Making a Murderer': Nancy Grace Details Why Steven Avery is Guilty (Q&A)9:00 AM PST 1/16/2016 by Seth Abramovitch FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME COMMENTSGetty Images; Courtesy of Netflix Nancy Grace, Steven Avery The HLN host says the filmmakers behaved irresponsibly as their hit series neglects key evidence proving Avery and his nephew raped and killed Teresa Halbach. [ Warning: This interview contains graphic details from Netflix's Making a Murderer and the Steven Avery case. ] Count HLN host Nancy Grace among those who think Steven Avery — the subject of Netflix's smash-hit docuseries Making a Murderer — is guilty of murdering 25-year-old Teresa Halbach, whose charred remains were found on his Wisconsin auto salvage property in 2005. Avery, who had previously served 18 years for a rape he did not commit, is currently serving life without the possibility of parole, as is his nephew, Brendan Dassey, who at age 16 admitted to being an accessory to the crime in what many viewers consider to be a coerced confession. Grace has been covering the case since the murder investigation, having interviewed Avery on her show while the search for Halbach was still underway. ( As she reveals in this interview, it was that conversation that tipped her off to Avery's guilt.) Grace recently devoted an hour to the topic, sharing a startling sit-down with Jodi Stachowski, who is portrayed in the series as Avery's devoted fiancee. But Stachowski now says she was coerced by Avery into maintaining his innocence on camera and that he is in fact a \"\"monster\"\" who she is certain is guilty. Also mentioned in the broadcast were portions of a detailed Dassey confession that did not make it into the series, a full transcript of which Grace shared with The Hollywood Reporter . Read More'Making a Murderer': Why There Hasn't Been a New Steven Avery Interview Yet Here now is THR 's conversation with Grace about the case that has riveted the country."

( see If it weren't for Dickey ). Bruce O. sent me to his web page, www.erols.com/olsonw where the words to the \"\"original\"\" Irish version, \"\"Drumion Dubh\"\" are given. Now I am curious how this lament about a dead cow, which says nothing about kisses becomes the somewhat smooth 60s folk song \"\"Kisses Sweeter Than Wine\"\". The Leadbelly version uses the same tune as \"\"Kisses\"\" and he seems to sing \"\"Oh, Oh, kisses sweeter than gum\"\" as the chorus. He does mention a cow dying, so this is somewhere in-between. Pete Seeger does say that Leadbelly was a participent of his hootnannys in Greenwich Village in the 40s. I suspect that is where he learned the very English ballad that he calls \"\"Gallis Pole\"\". I suspect he learned some intermediate version of \"\"Drumion Dubh\"\" from this context. So I don't think he is a step in the evolution but rather he heard a step in the evolution at Seegers place."

Our decision making is better when we draw on the collective knowledge and unvarnished opinions of the group. Candor is the key to collaborating effectively. Lack of candor leads to dysfunctional environments. So how can a manager ensure that his or her working group, department, or company embraces candor? By putting mechanisms in place that explicitly say it is valuable. One of Pixar’s key mechanisms is the Braintrust, which we rely on to push us toward excellence and to root out mediocrity. It is our primary delivery system for straight talk."

( August 2017)Founded in 1971, the Edmonton Oilers are a professional ice hockey National Hockey League (NHL) team based in Edmonton, Alberta. The team played its first season in 1972–73 as one of twelve founding franchises of the major professional World Hockey Association (WHA). They were originally supposed to be one of two WHA teams in Alberta (the other one being the Calgary Broncos ). However, when the Broncos folded before the WHA's first season began the Oilers were renamed the Alberta Oilers. They returned to using the Edmonton Oilers name for the 1973–74 season, and have been called that ever since. The Oilers subsequently joined the NHL in 1979; one of four franchises introduced through the NHL merger with the WHA. After joining the NHL, the Oilers went on to win the Stanley Cup on five occasions: 1984, 1985, 1987, 1988 and 1990. For their success in the 1980s, the Oilers team of this era has been honoured with \"\"dynasty\"\" status by the Hockey Hall of Fame. ["

The vessel was powered by biodiesel fuel, but was also capable of running on regular diesel fuel. [ 2] [3] [4] It used other eco-friendly materials, such as vegetable oil lubricants, hemp composites, and non-toxic anti-fouling, and had features such as bilge water filters. [ 2]The first attempt at the global circumnavigation record in 2007 was ill-fated. The boat encountered mechanical problems on several occasions, and collided with a Guatemalan fishing boat, killing one of the other boat's crew. While the crew of the Earthrace was later absolved of any responsibility, the delay forced the restart of the record attempt, while more mechanical issues later aborted it. In 2008, the second journey proved successful—though again, numerous technical problems had to be overcome before the record was achieved, with the vessel finally making the return to Sagunto, Spain after just under 61 days [5] on 27 June 2008. In late 2009, it was announced that the boat, now repainted black and named Ady Gil, would be participating in anti- whaling operations under the lead of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. During operations in the Southern Ocean, the vessel and the Japanese whaling support vessel MV Shōnan Maru 2 collided on 6 January 2010, resulting in loss of the Ady Gil' s bow and injuring one crew member. [ 6] [7] [8] Each side blamed the other for causing the collision, and government agencies began an investigation into the incident. ["

( In 1997, at age 69, he even played a shift for the International Hockey League’s Detroit Vipers and could claim to be hockey’s only six-decade professional.) Here are some highlights from each decade of Howe’s career.1940s Howe signed with the Detroit Red Wings in 1944 at age 16, then played for junior teams in Galt, Ontario, and Omaha. Howe made his N.

He played in his first N. H. L. All-Star Game in 1948 and would go on to be named to 22 more All-Star rosters. The Wings finished fourth in the six-team N. H.

Officials for Karmanos said the cancer hospital sold its hospice program because it wants to focus on its core inpatient and outpatient services, but did not elaborate. \"\" For the past seven years, the Karmanos team has worked together with Residential Home Health to ensure our patients receive quality post-acute (home health) care,\"\" said Gerold Bepler, M. D., Karmanos' CEO, in a statement. Hospice care is expected to continue to grow in Michigan over the next few decades as baby boomers continue to age and payers seek to locate end-of-life care in the most cost-effective and humane setting possible, said William Deary, CEO of Great Lakes Caring, a Jackson-based home health and hospice company. As Medicare and insurers seek to reduce costs, Medicare hospice care at $140 per day \"\"is a bargain\"\" compared with the daily inpatient hospital cost of about $3,000, Deary said. \"\" Hospice care allows you to work with the family unit — the son, daughter and next-door neighbor in ways that hospitals can't,\"\" Deary said. Under the contract, Residential also has agreed to deliver transitional nursing services at Karmanos' inpatient and outpatient locations. To reduce hospital readmissions, Residential also will provide a range of post-acute care services to Karmanos patients. Justin De Witte, president of Residential Hospice, said Residential will offer employment contracts to many of Karmanos' 30 employees. Karmanos Hospice is a Medicare-certified and Joint Commission accredited program that began in 1992."

Its earliest origins may be from Persia, Egypt or China, while archaeological evidence shows an early ball-and-stick game played in Greece in the 400s BCE. As civilization spread, so did the games. And eventually, as the civilized world went north, ball-and-stick moved onto the ice. Paintings in the Netherlands in the 1600s showed the Dutch playing a version of golf on the ice; Scotland's Edinburgh Skating Club, formed in 1642, is considered the oldest in the world, and records from Ireland's Dublin Evening Post have a report of men playing hurling on ice. When the Europeans made their way across the Atlantic to North America, they discovered Native Americans had their own games, the forerunners of lacrosse, and some Native Americans in South Dakota essentially played lacrosse on ice. The modern idea of field hockey sprouted out of these traditions, and the modern sport of ice hockey was relegated primarily to small towns, and in no organized setting, until the late 1800s. '' In 1872, a young man from Halifax, Nova Scotia named James Creighton moved to Montreal, bringing the sport of ice hockey (hereafter referred to just as \"\"hockey\"\") with him - more particularly, bringing with him hockey sticks and skates. The skates, which were patented by a Nova Scotia company in 1866, featured rounded blades held onto boots by metal clamps (the first time that had ever been done and not too different from modern skates). After introducing the game to his friends, Creighton, in 1875, organized a group of players to practice the sport indoors at the Victoria Skating Rink."

For example, five of the Original Six have retired No. 9 (Toronto, the lone holdout, lists it among its \"\"Honored Numbers\"\"). No. 1, the number that for decades was given to the starting goaltender, no longer is available in a number of cities, where it's long since been raised to the rafters.

"text": "\"Author Topic: Cover vs. shrink wrap for winter storagepennstater posted 10-24-2005 08:58 AM ET (US) Anyone have any opinions as to whether shrink wrapping is any better that a custom made boat cover for winter storage. Cost for a cover for 05 Nantucket on boatcoversdirect.com is $350. Marina charges $225 to shrink wrap. The boat will be stored outdoors in Kent Island, MD. Thanks in advance for any input. Huron Bob posted 10-24-2005 10:18 AM ET (US) I've done both shrink wrap and covers on a number of different boats. My conclusion (and, YMMV) is that, if both options are done correctly, it comes down to cost. Factors for both... It needs to be water proof, there needs to be a way for the cover to breath/vent to prevent moisture build-up, if you're storing outside it needs to fit tight enough to keep the mice, raccoons, and other crawly things from nesting in your boat. If you're in a snow area it needs to be supported in a manner that will prevent the cover from collapsing into your boat.. Currently I'm using covers on both the Whaler and the Pontoon (a mills cover on the Whaler, but it is stored in the pole barn)... I figure a cover used outside in the winter (cost about $250 for a generic cover for the pontoon, I'm not using the custom made cover during the winter) will last me 5 years or so if I take care of it... about the cost of one year's worth of shrink wrap. Also, of course, figure in your time... It took a few hours to devise a system to support the cover, and about an hour to put it on each year... You'll also probably want to go out and sweep the snow off if you're not using shrink wrap (which is GREAT in terms of just letting it slide off! )"

Is this true? Does anyone know if there are any national rental vehicle companies that would allow me to tow my Whaler behind the rented vehicle? The customer service rep said it was an insurance issue as well as an industry standard to not allow towing on passenger vehicles, even SUV's. Just curious-k Contender25 posted 10-12-2005 04:22 PM ET (US) Technically I do not think UHaul or Ryder allow you to tow either unless you are towing their trailer. There is a Ford dealership in So.

I apologize for not remembering the name of this dealership.andygere posted 10-12-2005 04:51 PM ET (US) The Chevy Trailblazers I have rented from Alamo come with the towing package, including receiver and standard wiring harness.

You have to just take a look at their fleet of vehicles....sometimes they have the reciever, sometimes they don't."

Previous to this, the idea of Sea Shepherd was formed when Captain Paul Watson founded the Earth Force Society in 1977 in Vancouver BC, Canada. The original mandate of both organizations was marine mammal protection and conservation with an immediate goal of shutting down illegal whaling and sealing operations, but Sea Shepherd later expanded its mission to include all marine wildlife. In 1978, with financial support from Cleveland Amory of the Fund for Animals, the Society purchased its first ship (a British sea trawler Westella) and renamed it the Sea Shepherd . Its first mission was to sail to the ice floes of Eastern Canada to interfere with the annual killing of baby harp seals known as whitecoats. In the same year, the Sea Shepherd hunted down and rammed the notorious prolific pirate whaler the Sierra in a Portugal harbor ending its infamous career as the scourge of the seas. Since those early days, Sea Shepherd has embarked on over 200 voyages covering many of the world's oceans and defending and saving defenseless marine life all along the way.

In 1952, when east side fish merchants Pete and Jerry Cusimano threw a real octopus onto the Olympia arena ice, the eight legs represented the eight victories needed to secure a Stanley Cup in those six-team days.

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman forbade Sobotka from doing so during the 2008 playoffs, claiming that debris flew off the octopuses and onto the ice. Sobotka and the Red Wings have denied that this occurs, but even so Sobotka acquiesced and now twirls the octopuses once he departs the ice. In 2011 the NHL forbade fans from throwing any octopuses on the ice, penalizing all violators with a $500 fine. ["

"text": "\"Hathor Hathor is an Ancient Egyptian goddess who personified the principles of love, beauty, music, dance, motherhood and joy. She was one of the most important and popular deities throughout the history of Ancient Egypt. Hathor was worshiped by Royalty and common people alike in whose tombs she is depicted as \"\"Mistress of the West\"\" welcoming the dead into the next life. In other roles she was a goddess of music, dance, foreign lands and fertility who helped women in childbirth, as well as the patron goddess of miners. The cult of Hathor pre-dates the historical period and the roots of devotion to her are, therefore, difficult to trace, though it may be a development of predynastic cults who venerated the fertility, and nature in general, represented by cows. The Narmer Palette, thought to mark the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt; note the images of Hathor at the top and bottom, as well as the lionesses, symbols of Sekhmet, forming the central intertwined image Hathor is commonly depicted as a cow goddess with head horns in which is set a sun disk with Uraeus. Twin feathers are also sometimes shown in later periods as well as a menat, the turquoise musical necklace often worn by women. Hathor may be the cow goddess who is depicted from an early date on the Narmer Palette and on a stone urn dating from the 1st dynasty that suggests a role as sky-goddess and a relationship to Horus who, as a sun god, is \"\"housed\"\" in her. The Ancient Egyptians viewed reality as multi-layered in which deities who merge for various reasons, while retaining divergent attributes and myths, were not seen as contradictory but complementary In a complicated relationship Hathor is at times the mother, daughter and wife of Ra and, like Isis, is at times described as the mother of Horus, and associated with Bast . The cult of Osiris promised eternal life to those deemed morally worthy."

"text": "\"Headdresses of the Ancient Egyptian Deitiesby Caroline Seawright The ancient Egyptian deities tended to each have a distinctive headdress, which can often be used to tell the gods and goddesses apart. The headdress seems to have been strongly linked to the attributes of the particular deity, giving the Egyptians a visual clue as to the powers of the god or goddess. This, then, lead to the mix up of headdresses when different deities took over the attributes and powers of another deity. To the Egyptians it made sense - they could easily tell what the god was worshiped for - but it makes things difficult to identify deities today. Here is a list of the most common headdresses or crowns of the deities of ancient Egypt: Amentet Amentet, the Personification of the West, was depicted as wearing the standard of the west. The standard is usually a half circle sitting on top of two poles of uneven length, the longer of which is tied to her head by a headband. Often a hawk or an ostrich feather is seen sitting on top of the standard. Hathor, the 'Lady of the West', is often depicted as wearing this headdress - in this form, she is known as Hathor -Amentet. Amen Amen is usually depicted as a man wearing a headdress with two tall plumes rising from a short crown. As Amen-Ra, the sun disk is added between the plumes, showing his connection to the sun."

Throughout the 30+ dynasties in ancient Egyptian history, it is speculated that some 170 or more rulers reigned over the great land of Egypt during a three thousand year time span. The throne of Egypt was primarily intended to be succeeded from father to son, however in many cases this line of kingship was interrupted by murder, mayhem and mysterious disappearances. Pharaohs were the god kings of ancient Egypt who ruled between 3150 B. C. and 30 B. C. (when Rome conquered Egypt). Each time a new family took control of the throne, a new kingdom began in the history of this fascinating nation. While rulers often intermarried with daughters, granddaughters, sisters and brothers to keep the throne within the family the throne still managed to shift hands multiple times; creating a dynamic and complex pharonic history. © Xuan Che - Pharaoh's Bust Definition: the word pharaoh refers to the title of the ancient Egyptian kings. The title “pharaoh” means the “great house” and refers to the royal palace. Thirty-one Dynasties ruled from the Early Dynastic Period to the Ptolemaic Period. Scholars also include a Dynasty 0 but any kings from this period are not well represented in the archaeological record."

Credit: Miguel Cabezón Shutterstock Hatshepsut was the first female pharaoh of Egypt. She reigned between 1473 and 1458 B. C. Her name means “foremost of noblewomen. ”Her rule was relatively peaceful and she was able to launch a building program that would see the construction of a great temple at Deir el-Bahari at Luxor. She also launched a successful sea voyage to the land of Punt, a place located somewhere on the northeast coast of Africa, where they traded with the inhabitants, bringing back “marvels. ”Despite the apparent success of her reign, and a burial in the Valley of the Kings, her monuments would be defaced after her death, apparently by her co-ruler and step-son/nephew Thutmose III. The fact that a woman became pharaoh of Egypt was very unusual. “ In the history of Egypt during the dynastic period (3000 to 332 B. C.) there were only two or three women who managed to rule as pharaohs, rather than wielding power as the ‘great wife’ of a male king,” writes Egyptologist Ian Shaw in his book \"\"Exploring Ancient Egypt\"\" (Oxford University Press, 2003). Birth Hatshepsut, along with her sister Nefrubity, was the daughter of Pharaoh Thutmose I and his wife Ahmose. Thutmose I was a warrior king who launched successful campaigns into Nubia and Syria, expanding the territory under Egyptian rule."

On the opposite side Narmer wears the red crown as he surveys the bodies of his enemies. Later historians left his name out of the king lists but Egyptologists have found many items mentioning him. King Menes Menes is a pharaoh that Herodotus claimed founded the 1st Dynasty in the Early Dynastic Period.

Before the age of 50, the Spanish born artist had become the most well known name in modern art, with the most distinct style and eye for artistic creation. There had been no other artists, prior to Picasso, who had such an impact on the art world, or had a mass following of fans and critics alike, as he did. Pablo Picasso was born in Spain in 1881, and was raised there before going on to spend most of his adult life working as an artist in France. Throughout the long course of his career, he created more than 20,000 paintings, drawings, sculptures, ceramics and other items such as costumes and theater sets. He is universally renowned as one of the most influential and celebrated artists of the twentieth century. Picasso's ability to produce works in an astonishing range of styles made him well respected during his own lifetime. After his death in 1973 his value as an artist and inspiration to other artists has only grown. He is without a doubt destined to permanently etch himself into the fabric of humanity as one of the greatest artists of all time. As an artist and an innovator, he is responsible for co-founding the entire Cubist movement alongside Georges Braque."

Why don’t we try to understand the song of a bird? Why do we love the night, the flowers, everything around us, without trying to understand them? But in the case of a painting, people think they have to understand. If only they would realize above all that an artist works of necessity, that he himself is only an insignificant part of the world, and that no more importance should be attached to him than to plenty of other things which please us in the world though we can’t explain them; people who try to explain pictures are usually barking up the wrong tree.” - Picasso The Beginning, Childhood and Youth: 1881-1901Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born on October 25, 1881 to Don José Ruiz Blasco (1838-1939) and Doña Maria Picasso y Lopez (1855-1939). The family at the time resided in Málaga, Spain, where Don José, a painter himself, taught drawing at the local school of Fine Arts and Crafts. Pablo spent the first ten years of his life there. The family was far from rich, and when 2 other children were born -- Dolorès (\"\"Lola\"\") in 1884 and Concepción (\"\"Conchita\"\") in 1887 -- it was often difficult to make ends meet."

Friend and biographer John Richardson, curator of a new show of late work, tells Martin Gayford about life with this complex man. Image 1 of 5'Picasso's Nu au fauteuil noir' (1932)By Martin Gayford10:33AM BST 19 May 2010It was one day in the summer of 1949 that John Richardson first encountered Pablo Picasso. He was taken to the artist’s studio in rue des Grands Augustins, Paris, by his new lover and partner for the following decade, a wealthy collector of modernist art named Douglas Cooper. Picasso was then 68, Richardson 25. It was the beginning of a relationship of great importance to both of them. Richardson met the individual whose personality and work would enthral him for a lifetime; Picasso came across the man who would write his definitive life. Initially, Richardson was struck by the great artist’s “smallness and delicacy” and also by “the unassuming courtesy – those radiant smiles – with which he greeted people”. Most of all, though, he was “fascinated by the way Picasso used his huge eyes as a hypnotist might, raking the room for possible subjects”, he says. “At one moment he turned his eyes on me and held my gaze for long enough to induce a responsive quiver."

His influence, the inspiration of his presence, the pressing need to reckon with him, lie behind a surprising number of careers: much of Manet, for instance, depends on Goya, just as much of the film imagery of Luis Buñuel does; and you can't easily imagine Picasso or Beckmann without him.

He was 91 years old. The death of the Spanish-born artist was attributed to pulmonary edema, fluid in the lungs, by Dr. Jean-Claude Rance, a local physician who was summoned to the 35-room mansion by the family. Dr. Rance said that Picasso had been ill for several weeks. With him when he dies was his second wife, the 47-year-old Jacqueline Roque, whom he married in 1961. In the last few years, Picasso rarely left his 17-acre estate, which was surrounded by barbed wire. He had been in exile from his native land since 1939, when Generalissimo Francisco Franco defeated the Republican Government of Spain in the three-year Civil War. About 10 days ago, Picasso was helping to assemble 201 of his paintings for exhibition at the Avignon Arts Festival, which will open in that city May 23 at the Palais des Papes. According to Paul Puaux, the festival director who had visited the artist at his home on the Riviera above Cannes, these canvases covered the artist's output from October, 1970 to the close of 1972. \"\""

The house had two rooms, a beaten earth floor and a leaky roof. Matisse said long afterwards that rain fell through a hole above the bed in which he was born. Matisse’s ancestors had lived in the area for centuries before the convulsive social and industrial upheavals of the nineteenth century. Matisse grew up in a world that was still detaching itself from a way of life in some ways unchanged since Roman times. The coming of the railway had put Bohain on the industrial map, but people still traveled everywhere on foot or horseback. Matisse’s father, Émile Hippolyte Matisse, was a grain merchant whose family were weavers. His mother, Anna Heloise Gerard, was a daughter of a long line of well-to-do tanners. Warmhearted, outgoing, capable and energetic, she was small and sturdily built with the fashionable figure of the period: full breasts and hips, narrow waist, neat ankles and elegant small feet."

Evidence suggests that the production of proto-Cubist paintings resulted from a wide-ranging series of experiments, circumstances, influences and conditions, rather than from one isolated static event, trajectory, artist or discourse. With its roots stemming from at least the late 19th century this period can be characterized by a move towards the radical geometrization of form and a reduction or limitation of the color palette (in comparison with Fauvism ). It is essentially the first experimental and exploratory phase of an art movement that would become altogether more extreme, known from the spring of 1911 as Cubism. Proto-Cubist artworks typically depict objects in geometric schemas of cubic or conic shapes. The illusion of classical perspective is progressively stripped away from objective representation to reveal the constructive essence of the physical world (not just as seen). The term is applied not only to works of this period by Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso, but to a range of art produced in France during the early 1900s, by such artists as Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Henri Le Fauconnier, Robert Delaunay, Fernand Léger, and to variants developed elsewhere in Europe. Proto-Cubist works embrace many disparate styles, and would affect diverse individuals, groups and movements, ultimately forming a fundamental stage in the history of Modern art of the 20th-century.

"text": "\"Cubism: A New Vision The Birth of Cubism The art movement known as cubism arose out of the need to define and represent the then new modern reality. This new reality was complex and ambiguous, shaped by new inventions, philosophical speculation and cultural diversity. The new technology and scientific discoveries were radically changing the pace of life and the way society perceived the nature of things. Whereas in the past, life had been static, science and technology were now forcing modern man to experience time, motion and space more dynamically. All of a sudden he was thrust in a world of expanding vision and horizons, of accelerated tempo and mobility and of fluctuating perspectives. Furthermore, the ambiguity and sense of uncertainty generated by this new rush of stimuli was interpreted by the theory of relativity that evolved through F. H. Bradley, Whitehead, Einstein, and the new mathematics. What these philosophical theoreticians suggested was that we live in a world of shifting perspectives, where the appearance of objects is in a constant flux depending on the point of view from which it is seen. Finally, the experience of reality was also being altered by the cultural interactions taking place between the East and West, the primitive and the industrialized. In other words, each culture brought along with it a new, idiosyncratic way of looking at things, and the interchange occurring between cultures obscured the perception of truth. Relativity became everything."

Instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context. For me it is ironic that two-dimensional art in many ways fast forwarded architectural thinking. I think it was painting - that of Pablo Picasso overwhelmingly so - that influenced modern architecture to start challenging the boundaries and possibilities of three-dimensional space. Cubism was always destined to be a 2-dimensional art form but the brave and deconstructive thinking behind it has transcended the arts and in its own way has massively influenced the architecture around us. In the words of the great man himself:“Art is a lie that makes us realize truth. ”Pablo Picasso (25 October 1881 - 8 April 1973)In the week of Pablo Picasso’s 130th birthday celebrations, with many related art exhibitions taking place in the art world, I felt compelled to commemorate the great impact this vigorous artist had on architecture too. What Picasso’s body of work did for all art forms was unprecedented, indisputably eye-opening and is still a valid catalyst of creative thinking a century later. What, even indirectly, his - and of course Braque’s - cubist work did for architecture was enlightening and created the decisive impetus for architecture to become rational, abstract and much more profoundly embrace space, society and even time. The fact that historically, there has only been a single movement of contemporary architecture officially related to cubism - Czech Cubism, does not imply the impact of cubism upon architecture was limited."

On one occasion, he refused to sign a canvas he knew he had painted, saying, “I can paint false Picassos just as well as anybody.” On another, he refused to sign an authentic painting, explaining to the woman who had brought it to him, “If I sign it now, I’ll be putting my 1943 signature on a canvas painted in 1922. No, I cannot sign it, madam, I’m sorry.” And on yet another occasion, an irked Picasso angrily covered a work brought to him for authentication with so many signatures that he defaced and effectively ruined it. Even today, 40 years after Picasso’s death, the question of how his heirs exercise their right under French law to authenticate his work is a knotty one.

"text": "Most Famous Paintings of All Time Famous French, Italian, Dutch and American paintings are among the artwork featured in this group of the world’s most famous paintings. Beautiful paintings such as these form timeless images which stay with us forever. Sandro Botticelli Italian (1445-1510) The Birth of Venus This famous image shows the goddess Venus coming out of the Sea (according to some legends, Venus did not have a mother or father but was instead born of the Sea after the death of Uranus). Leonardo Da Vinci Italian (1452-1519) Mona Lisa Da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael are the three great Masters from the Renaissance period. This painting is likely the most famous, most controversial, and most expensive painting in the world. It is a portrait of a rich lady named Lisa Gherardini (a fact which was only known for sure in 2005). It is famous because the lady’s expression is hard to define since she doesn’t have any eyebrows or eyelashes. The painting is currently located in Paris, France at the Louvre. Michelangelo Italian (1475-1564) The Creation of Adam (from the Sistine Chapel)The Sistine chapel is part of the pope’s official residence in Vatican City. Michelangelo painted the 12,000 square foot ceiling with various characters from the Bible — the most famous being the image of God creating Adam in the middle."

"text": "\"Arts, Music, and Recreation ›Hobbies & Activities53 Paintings by Famous Artists Share Flipboard Email Printby Marion Boddy-Evans Updated February 06, 2018Being a famous artist in your own lifetime is no guarantee that you'll be remembered by other artists. Have you heard of the French painter Ernest Meissonier? He was a contemporary with Edouard Manet, and by far the more successful artist in terms of critical acclaim and sales. The reverse is also true, with Vincent van Gogh probably the most famous example. Van Gogh relied on his brother, Theo, to provide him with paint and canvas, yet today his paintings fetch record prices whenever they come up at art auction and he's a household name. Looking at famous paintings past and present can teach you many things, including composition and handling of paint. Though probably the most important lesson is that you should ultimately paint for yourself, not for a market or for posterity. \"\" Night Watch\"\" by Rembrandt Gallery of Famous Paintings by Famous Artists \"\"Night Watch\"\" by Rembrandt. 363x437cm (143x172\"\").

He was born Pablo Ruiz Picasso on October 6, 1881, in Malaga, Spain. He was the first child of Jose Ruiz y Blasco and Maria Picasso y Lopez. His father was an artist and professor of art at the School of Fine Arts, and also a curator of museum in Malaga, Spain. Picasso began studying art under his father's tutelage, continued at the Academy of Arts in Madrid for a year, and went on his ingenious explorations of the new horizons. He went to Paris in 1901 and found the environment conducive for his experiments with new art styles. Gertrude Stein, Guillaume Apollinaire, and André Breton were among his friends and collectors. Constantly updating his style from the Blue Period, to the Rose Period, to the African-influenced Period, to Cubism, to Realism and Surrealism he was a pioneer with a hand in every art movement of the 20th century. He made some softer and neo-classic artworks during his cooperation with the Russian Ballet of Sergei Diaghilev in Paris. In 1917 Picasso joined the Russian Ballet on tour in Rome, Italy."

The man – wearing a white smock, like all the Louvre’s maintenance staff – pointed out to Sauvet that the doorknob was missing. The helpful Sauvet opened the door with his key and some pliers. The man walked out of the museum and into the Parisian heatwave. Hidden under his smock was Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa”. The art theft of the century helped make the Mona Lisa what she is today. The world’s popular newspapers – a new phenomenon in 1911 – and the French police searched everywhere for the culprit. At one point they even suspected Pablo Picasso. Only one person was ever arrested for the crime in France: the poet Guillaume Apollinaire. But the police found the thief only when he finally outed himself."

Paul Cézanne, The Large Bathers, 1906, oil on canvas, 82 7⁄8 in × 98 3⁄4 in. ( Philadelphia Museum of Art) First amongst these was his confrontation with Cézanne’s great achievement at the posthumous retrospective mounted in Paris a year after the artist’s death in 1907. The retrospective exhibition forced the young Picasso, Matisse, and many other artists to contend with the implications of Cézanne’s art. Matisse's Bonheur de Vivre of 1906 was one of the first of many attempts to do so, and the newly completed work was quickly purchased by Leo & Gertrude Stein and hung in their living room so that all of their circle of avant-garde writers and artists could see and praise it. And praise it they did. Here was the promise of Cézanne fulfilled—and one which incorporated lessons learned from Seurat and Van Gogh, no less! This was just too much for the young Spaniard.

"text": "Rivalries Between Picasso and Matisse Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso were already at loggerheads when Gertrude Stein introduced them in 1906, and their challenge of opposites—played out at Stein’s combustible soirées, in studio visits, and through an intriguing exchange of paintings—would continue even beyond Matisse’s death. With a blockbuster show about the Matisse-Picasso relationship opening at New York’s MOMA, the author explores how each man’s genius lit the other’s work, in a rivalry that was also a secret partnership.by John Richardson May 18, 2009 12:00 am After mounting definitive retrospectives of Pablo Picasso in 1980 and Henri Matisse in 1992, New York’s Museum of Modern Art, in collaboration with London’s Tate Modern and Paris’s Musée Picasso and Centre Pompidou, is now devoting another blockbuster exhibition to the relationship between the two artists—a relationship that crackles with I-can-do-anything-better-than-you rivalry and flashes of contagious genius. It enables us to see the extent to which the two greatest painters and sculptors of the 20th century bounced off each other, outdid each other, honored each other, and occasionally ignored each other, in ways that were sometimes calculated, sometimes instinctive, and sometimes fortuitous. Brush with Death, June 2009Gauguin’s Last Testament, February 2004Degas and the Dancers, October 2002More …After taking London and Paris by storm, the show opens at Mo MA’s temporary quarters in Long Island City on February 13. It started life as the brainchild of British art historians John Golding and Elizabeth Cowling, who rightly claim that it “tells one of the most compelling and rewarding stories in the entire history of art.” On this side of the Atlantic, John Elderfield and Kirk Varnedoe have taken over. With the treasures of Mo MA, including Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, at hand, their version of the exhibition is sure to be the richest. “As different as the north pole is from the south pole” is how Matisse described Picasso and himself to Gertrude Stein. He hit on a particularly dodgy paradox, for although the North and South Poles are antitheses, the icescapes surrounding them are indistinguishable. Matisse apparently wanted to emphasize that, while he was very much a man of northern France, Picasso was very much a man of southern Spain."

For nearly a year, supplies from American planes sustained the over 2 million people in West Berlin. On June 24, 1948, the Soviet Union blocked all road and rail travel to and from West Berlin, which was located within the Soviet zone of occupation in Germany. The Soviet action was in response to the refusal of American and British officials to allow Russia more say in the economic future of Germany. The U. S. government was shocked by the provocative Soviet move, and some in President Harry S. Truman’s administration called for a direct military response. Truman, however, did not want to cause World War III. Instead, he ordered a massive airlift of supplies into West Berlin. On June 26, 1948, the first planes took off from bases in England and western Germany and landed in West Berlin. It was a daunting logistical task to provide food, clothing, water, medicine, and other necessities of life for the over 2 million fearful citizens of the city. For nearly a year, American planes landed around the clock."

The United States and the Soviet Union, though also drained, held considerable power, and both soon rose to superpower status.

"text": "\"Determining the Facts Reading 2: The Cold War Begins Following World War II, the United States entered into a prolonged conflict with the Soviet Union known as the Cold War. Rather than involving direct combat, the Cold War was characterized by political tension and distrust, arms competition, and the threat of nuclear attack. Although allies during World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union held very different political, economic, and social views. Whereas the United States practiced democracy and capitalism, the Soviet Union was a Communist country ruled by a dictator. According to Communist principles, the state should control the economy and the lives of citizens. The Soviet Union wanted to spread Communism to other countries, and the United States wanted to contain it within the countries where it already existed. Tension evolved as the victorious Allied nations discussed the future of Europe, which had been physically and economically devastated by the war. It quickly became apparent that the Soviet Union had a different agenda than the United States, Great Britain, and France. The Soviet Union's goals included protecting its borders from future attacks by establishing pro-Soviet governments in Eastern Europe and keeping the defeated countries of Germany and Japan weak. The United States wanted to promote future peace and allow European countries to choose their own form of government."

"text": "Arts & Humanities History What is the Berlin Airlift and how did it start and end? I need to know what the Berlin Airlift was, how the Berlin Airlift was started and why, and how it ended and why. Follow 2 answers Answers Best Answer: Following the Marshall Plan (where the US committed itself in rebuilding post-WWII Europe), the US and Britain introduced a common currency in the western zones. ( The Allies and Soviets had divided Germany and Berlin after WWII). The Soviets, strongly against German reunification, challenged this act by halting all traffic to West Berlin (controlled by the Allies) on June 24, 1948. As a result, West Berlin was now isolated from the Allies and surrounded by the Soviet Union. Hence, the Berlin blockade. With help from the British Royal Air Force, president Truman enacted a 24/7 airlift, Operation Vittles, that supplied 2 million tons to West Berliners. Probably sensing that the entire goal of isolating West Berlin had failed, Stalin lifted the ban in May 1949. The Western powers merged their occupation zones into a single nation, the Federal Republic of West Germany, and the USSR countered by establishing the German Democratic Republic in their sector."

At the time, the eastern portion of Germany was in Soviet control. The western half was in the hands of the US. The nation was divided into East and West Germany.

"text": "\"People & Events Berlin Blockade The blockade of Berlin was the first serious crisis of the Cold War. By 1948, the Western allies began moving towards consolidating their occupation zones in Western Germany into a single independent German state. As part of that process, the U. S., France and Britain took steps to reform the currency in the parts of Germany they occupied, in order to promote economic recovery. The new currency, over which the Soviets would have no control, was also to become legal tender in the Western sectors of Berlin. The USSR, which had been invaded twice by Germany, was alarmed at the prospect of a strong Germany. The Soviet leadership responded to the Western allies' currency reforms by installing their own new currency in East Berlin just 24 hours before the West mark was to go into circulation. They also imposed a blockade on West Berlin, cutting off all land and rail routes into the Western sectors. Lucius Clay, the military governor of the American zone of occupied Germany wrote: \"\"When the order of the Soviet Military Administration to close all rail traffic from the western zones went into effect at 6:00AM on the morning of June 24, 1948, the three western sectors of Berlin, with a civilian population of about 2,500,000 people, became dependent on reserve stocks and airlift replacements.

Photo from Airbridge to Berlin, by D. M. Giangreco and Robert E. Griffin (used with permission)By the spring of 1948, the Soviets were applying pressure all over Europe. Finland and Norway were asked to sign mutual aid treaties with the Soviet Union. Insurgent communist groups in France and Italy were on the rise. The Soviet coup in Czechoslovakia had shocked the world. There was also trouble within the Soviet Zone of occupied Germany. In an attempt to oust Western forces from Berlin, the Soviets moved to cut off rail and land access to the Western section of the city. On June 24, there was full-out Soviet blockade of the city. The American commander in Germany, General Lucius Clay ordered an airlift of some essential supplies flown into the city on June 25th as a temporary solution.

US Air Forceby Kennedy Hickman Updated February 15, 2018With the conclusion of World War II in Europe, Germany was divided into four occupation zones as had been discussed at the Yalta Conference. The Soviet zone was in eastern Germany while the Americans were in the south, the British the northwest, and the French the southwest. Administration of these zones was to be conducted through the Four Power Allied Control Council (ACC). The German capital, located deep in the Soviet zone, was similarly divided between the four victors. In the immediate period following the war, there was great debate regarding what extent Germany should be allowed to rebuild. During this time, Joseph Stalin actively worked to create and place in power the Socialist Unity Party in the Soviet zone. It was his intention that all of Germany should be communist and part of the Soviet sphere of influence. To this end, the Western Allies were only given limited access to Berlin along road and ground routes. While the Allies initially believed this to be short-term, trusting to Stalin's goodwill, all subsequent requests for additional routes were denied by the Soviets."

Germany posed a significant threat to both countries and necessity dictated that they cooperate militarily. Germany had launched a brutal invasion into the Soviet Union that eventually caused the deaths of 20 million Soviets. The USSR begged the western Allies to attack the German army on its western front. The U. S. and England were under-resourced and unwilling to launch a costly attack on the Germans. Instead, the western Allies engaged the Germans on other fronts, allowing the Soviets to regain lost territory and push the Nazis back. The U. S. and the Soviet Union had vastly differing political philosophies and their relationship was strained until it finally began to break apart during the later part of the war. When a victorious conclusion to the war with Germany seemed inevitable, Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill met at the Yalta Conference in February 1945. They made strategic plans to defeat Germany and began discussing crucial postwar issues. Stalin agreed that the Soviet Union would allow Poland, Bulgaria, and Romania to have free democratic elections after the war."

"text": "Additional Links Back to the 1940s The Berlin Blockade The first heightening of Cold War tensions occurred in 1948 when the Soviets imposed a partial blockade of Berlin in April, and then a full blockade in June. Understanding the events that led to the imposition of the blockades is the key to understanding the later division of Berlin in 1961 by the Berlin Wall, and the division of the German state that had occurred earlier in 1949 when separate west German (Federal Republic of Germany) and east German (German Democratic Republic) states were established. There are three key events that led to the Soviet blockades of Berlin: the institution of the Marshall Plan for European Recovery; the London Conferences of winter and spring of 1948; and the resultant London Program which called for a separate West Germany and currency reform as a means to reach this end. In light of the communist rebellions in Greece and Turkey in March of 1947, President Harry Truman announced the Truman Doctrine, which stated that America promised to “support free people who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures (with U. S. military aid).” Three months after this policy announcement, the Marshall Plan was introduced to serve as an economic and financial extension of the Doctrine. In light of this increasing tension between the U. S. and the Soviet Union, the U. S. decided that quadripartite occupational control of the defeated Germany with the Soviet Union was no longer feasible. Accordingly the U. S. and the other western nations occupying Germany (Great Britain and France), as well as the BENELUX nations, embarked on a series of discussions held in London from February to June of 1948 known collectively as the London Conferences. This came at a strategic time because the other occupying powers of Germany were also realizing that cooperation with the Soviets was increasingly difficult, and all three nations were beginning to reexamine their policies as such. The result of these discussions was the London Program. The main goal of the London Program was to establish a West German government, with the means to achieving this goal being the combination of the three western zones of occupation and a reform of the currency."

He served as Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force from 1961 to 1965. Le May joined the United States Army Air Corps while studying civil engineering at Ohio State University. He had risen to the rank of major by the time of the Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor. He commanded the 305th Operations Group and the 3d Air Division in the European theatre of World War II from October 1942 to August 1944, when he was transferred to the China Burma India Theater. He was then placed in command of strategic bombing operations against Japan, planning and executing a massive fire bombing campaign against Japanese cities and a crippling minelaying campaign in Japan's internal waterways. After the war, he was assigned to command USAF Europe and coordinated the Berlin airlift. He served as commander of the Strategic Air Command (SAC) from 1948 to 1957, where he presided over the transition to an all- jet aircraft force that focused on the deployment of nuclear weapons."

In March 1948 the Allied powers decided to unite their different occupation zones of Germany into a single economic unit. In protest, the Soviet representative withdrew from the Allied Control Council. Coincident with the introduction of a new deutsche mark in West Berlin (as throughout West Germany), which the Soviets regarded as a violation of agreements with the Allies, the Soviet occupation forces in eastern Germany began a blockade of all rail, road, and water communications between Berlin and the West. On June 24 the Soviets announced that the four-power administration of Berlin had ceased and that the Allies no longer had any rights there. On June 26 the United States and Britain began to supply the city with food and other vital supplies by air. They also organized a similar “airlift” in the opposite direction of West Berlin’s greatly reduced industrial exports. By mid-July the Soviet army of occupation in East Germany had increased to 40 divisions, against 8 in the Allied sectors. By the end of July three groups of U. S. strategic bombers had been sent as reinforcements to Britain.

Tree trunks were aligned to encircle the houses in a town, providing a defensive barrier. The palisades were designed for tribal conflicts that used bows-and-arrow technology. Starting in 1607 at Jamestown, the English colonists initiated the construction of similar fortifications. The English desired protection against both the Native Americans and a potential attack by European ships armed with cannon. The colonists expected that if a Spanish ship ever sailed upstream past Hog Island, it would be coming to eliminate the English colony rather than to trade and exchange pleasantries. The first fort built after landing all the men on May 14, 1607 was not substantial. The focus was on exploration and discovery, not defense.

"text": "\"In a newe plantation it is not knowen whether man or woman be more necessary. -Petition of the Virginia Assembly, 1619Early Virginia history has long been an important source of legends about the founding of the United States. Some of these legends feature women in starring roles, as in the case of Pocahontas, while others use women's victimization-as in the case of the wife who became a meal for her starving husband-as evidence of frontier adversity that would eventually be overcome by triumphant English settlers. In most accounts of early Virginia, however, Jamestown is depicted as a male domain in which women (by which is usually meant English women) had little or no historical significance-that is, their presence had little impact on the sequence of events or the subsequent history of the Virginia colony even if the conditions of their daily lives arouse our curiosity. How important were women to the history of early Jamestown? Do any of the above approaches-woman as Native American heroine, woman as European frontier victim, or woman as politically insignificant companion-accurately capture the historical significance of English, Indian, and African women in England's first permanent mainland settlement? What happens if we set the sensational legends of Jamestown's past in the larger context of European, Indian and African peoples in contact throughout the Americas? How does women's role in the history of early Jamestown compare to that of other European outposts in the New World? Any effort to assess the historical significance of women in the colonial past must begin by considering who is included in the category \"\"women.\"\" With the exception of Pocahontas, who made it into popular legend by virtue of the assistance she provided to the English sufferers at Jamestown, white English women have been the focus of most histories of colonial women."

At the time of settlement, Powhatan and the Pamunkeys had reduced about thirty tribes and 8,000 persons into an area of control that extended from Jamestown to the Potomac. As the English saw him, Powhatan was \"\"a tall well proportioned man, with a sower looke\"\" who ruled with an iron hand. Few doubt his word was law and he did hold life and death powers over his many subjects. Despite his substantial power and authority, Smith, a keen observer, also noted that he ruled by the dictates of custom. His sub-chiefs subjected themselves willingly to his authority, likely because custom was sacred, but also just as likely because Powhatan's demands were not laid on ruthlessly. According to custom, he received an annual tribute from each of his subjects in the forms of skins, beads, copper, pearl, deer, turkeys, wild beasts, and corn. Powhatan was understandably uneasy about the presence of the new settlers. These were not the first newcomers to the area. When Captain Christopher Newport arrived with his three ships, the Chesapeake Indians of the Cape Henry region, drove a landing party back to the ships."

Some date the end of the Colonial Period as early as 1763, the start of the French and Indian War, the results of which set in motion a chain of events that led the colonies to seek independence from Great Britain. Others set it as late as 1789, the year the U. S. Constitution went into effect. This text splits the difference by using 1776, the year the Declaration of Independence was signed, as the cutoff year for the period. This year is a guideline not a rigidly held cutoff. The writing of the period varied greatly in terms of quality and subject, but less so in terms of genre. For the sake of classification, in fact, all of the literature of the period can be broken down into just ten genres:1) travel writing, most often written by the explorers themselves to describe the land, indigenous peoples, and log the exploration, starting with preparations for the journey, the voyage, arrival and explorations in the territory and interactions with natives, and the return to Great Britain, if one was made, 2) historical writing; historians have written in every age since the Hebrews wrote the Old Testament; these consist of long essays or narratives and relate tell a non-fiction account of what transpired; usually written in the third person, and covering significant events of general interest, 3) religious writing, usually written by clergy in the form of journals, sermons, or commentaries on the Bible and religious experiences, 4) philosophy, a genre that ranges from pure metaphysical speculation, to early sociology, to transcendentalism; written in the form of long essays, 5) natural science writings, 6) newspaper, journalism, and political essay writing, covering most recent events to essays and pamphlets written to persuade others to the author's opinion, 7) poetry, 8) drama, 9) humor, 10 fiction in the form of short stories, or sketches, and novels. Not all of these genres span the entire period, although a few do. Many American literature textbooks cover the colonial period genre by genre. The danger in doing this is time distortion."

"text": "Jamestown and the Indians: the First Decade Posted on May 4, 2011 by Ojibwa By the early 17th century, the British were becoming concerned about the inroads which the Catholic French and Spanish were making in North America. In 1606, the British monarch gave a Royal Charter to the Virginia Company to develop a market in the New World for English commerce and for “propagating of Christian Religion to such people, as yet live in darkness.” In this charter, Indians were characterized as living“in Darkness and miserable Ignorance of the true Knowledge and Worship of God. ”The Virginia Company was founded and directed by a group of merchants and gentry who were motivated in part by the promise of strong economic returns for their investment. In order to exploit the rumored riches of North America, the company planned to build a trading post. From here they would be able to acquire furs and other valuables from the Indians and to sell them manufactured goods and textiles. The English investors also envisioned a search for gold and silver as well as the development of industries, such as the production of naval stores and the manufacture of wooden shingles. The Virginia Company also sought the conversion of the heathen (that is, converting Indians to Protestant Christianity), the expansion of the English kingdom, increased revenues for the king, employment for the English vagrant poor, and a market for English manufactured goods. Having been granted a Royal Charter, the Virginia Company in 1607 sent three ships to transport 120 colonists into Chesapeake Bay and establish a colony at Jamestown. For the next decade they would be in conflict with the Native American nations in the area."

Credit: National Park Service Jamestown, founded in 1607, was the first successful permanent English settlement in what would become the United States. The settlement thrived for nearly 100 years as the capital of the Virginia colony; it was abandoned after the capital moved to Williamsburg in 1699. A preservationist group took over the site in the late 1800s, and today, it is part of a national historic park with tours, museums and ongoing archaeological digs that continue to reveal new findings. Colonization of the Americas Jamestown was not the first successful permanent European settlement in what would become the United States; that distinction belongs to St. Augustine, in Florida, which was founded by the Spanish in 1565. At the beginning of the 17th century, England was lagging behind other nations when it came to colonization in the Americas. Spain controlled a vast empire in the New World that included much of South and Central America, Mexico, part of the Caribbean and a settlement in Florida. The Spanish were also moving into what is considered the American Southwest. Also by this time, the French were exploring Canada's northeast and, in time, would establish a highly profitable fur trade in the region. In the 16th century, the English did attempt to found Roanoke colony, a venture that ended in disaster; the colonists disappeared and were never heard from again, Karen Ordahl Kupperman, a professor of history at New York University, said in her book \"\"The Jamestown Project\"\" (The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2007)."

In fact, the incident was not recorded until Pocahontas was traveling in London many years later. However, she did help the starving inhabitants of Jamestown during the winter of 1607-1608.

His maternal grandfather was Wahunsunacock, paramount chief of the Powhatan confederacy in Virginia, and, therefore, also known simply as Powhatan. Thomas Rolfe (and his two marriages) made it possible for following generations, both in North America and in England, to trace descent from Pocahontas (including Nancy Reagan and astronomer Percival Lowell). Pocahontas (born Matoaka, known as Amonute, and later known as Rebecca Rolfe, c. 1595 – March 1617) was captured by the English during hostilities in 1613, and held for ransom. During her captivity, she converted to Christianity and took the name Rebecca. When the opportunity arose for her to return to her people, she chose to remain with the English. In April 1614, she married tobacco planter John Rolfe. Thomas Rolfe was born in Virginia and named after Governor Sir Thomas Dale, who accompanied Thomas Rolfe and his parents on their trip to England aboard the Treasurer in 1616. He was a year old during this voyage, and (being half Native American) was not necessarily immune to the diseases and hardships of the voyage. Thomas survived, but a year later in spring 1617 was stricken with a severe fever, as was his mother."

Spanish possessions included the developing cities of Mexico, Peru, and Cuba. Along the northern edge of Spain’s land were small missions and “presidios” or fortresses that stretched from the Atlantic coast, ran along the Gulf of Mexico and extended into the plains of Texas and the Rio Grande River valley. In 1585, Sir Walter Raleigh took on one of the first English settlement attempts. He set up a colony of about 100 men on the east coast of North America, on land he named Virginia after Queen Elizabeth I, who being unmarried, was known as the “Virgin Queen.” These settlers only lasted for a year before returning home. Then, in 1587, Raleigh made a second attempt at settling a colony at Roanoke, Virginia. The supply ships sent to the colony never arrived and in 1590 when help did come, evidence of the existence of the entire colony had disappeared except for the word “Croatan” inscribed on a post. Soon after England’s first colonization efforts, several changes took place that strengthened their ability to colonize America in the early 1600s: the Protestant Reformation, the defeat of the Spanish Armada, and the changes in the English economy. In the early 1500s, England and Spain had a strong connection based on their dedication to the Roman Catholic Church and the marriage between Henry VIII of England and Catherine of Aragon."

Directed by Mike Gabriel and Eric Goldberg, the film is loosely inspired by the Native American woman Pocahontas, and portrays a fictionalized account of her historical encounter with Englishman John Smith and the Jamestown settlers that arrived from the Virginia Company. The voice cast stars Irene Bedard and Mel Gibson as Pocahontas and Smith, respectively, with David Ogden Stiers, Russell Means, Christian Bale, Billy Connolly, and Linda Hunt. The musical score was written by Alan Menken, who also wrote the film's songs with Stephen Schwartz. After making his directorial debut with The Rescuers Down Under (1990), Gabriel conceived of Pocahontas during a Thanksgiving weekend. The project went into development concurrently with The Lion King (1994), and attracted most of Disney's top animators. Meanwhile, then-Disney studio chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg decided that the film should be a serious romantic epic in the vein of Beauty and the Beast (1991), in the hope that, like Beauty, it would be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. Screenwriters Carl Binder, Susannah Grant, and Philip La Zebnik took creative liberties with history in an attempt to make the film palatable to audiences. Pocahontas was released on June 23, 1995 to mixed reactions from reviewers, who praised its animation but criticized its story. The film's racial overtones and historical inaccuracy also garnered a mix of condemnation and praise."

According to Citynet CEO Jim Martin, only “last mile” fiber was installed, as shown in the top map. Martin says a “middle mile” network, as shown in the bottom map, is needed to bring quality broadband to rural areas like Pocahontas County. When it comes to broadband Internet, Pocahontas County is one of the least colorful places in West Virginia – and that’s not a good thing. On a West Virginia Broadband Deployment Council (WVBDC) map of West Virginia, more color means more Internet service providers. On that map, the vast majority of Pocahontas County is a dull tan, indicating just one provider. Frontier Communications is the sole provider of Internet service in most of Pocahontas County. The multi-billion dollar corporation, based in Connecticut, does business in 27 states. The company has come under fire in West Virginia and elsewhere for what critics say is a failure to upgrade Internet service in rural areas. Like all free market proponents, Citynet CEO Jim Martin thinks a monopoly, like Frontier enjoys in most of Pocahontas County, means poor service."

"text": "\"Thomas Rolfe (Son of Pocahontas)Food and Culture, Food and History Add comments Jan302014Today is the birthday (1615) of Thomas Pepsironemeh Rolfe, the only child of Pocahontas by her English husband, John Rolfe. His maternal grandfather was Wahunsunacock, paramount chief of the Powhatan confederacy in Virginia, and, therefore, also known simply as Powhatan. Thomas Rolfe (and his two marriages) made it possible for following generations, both in North America and in England, to trace descent from Pocahontas (including Nancy Reagan and astronomer Percival Lowell). Pocahontas (born Matoaka, known as Amonute, and later known as Rebecca Rolfe, c. 1595 – March 1617) was captured by the English during hostilities in 1613, and held for ransom. During her captivity, she converted to Christianity and took the name Rebecca. When the opportunity arose for her to return to her people, she chose to remain with the English. In April 1614, she married tobacco planter John Rolfe. Thomas Rolfe was born in Virginia and named after Governor Sir Thomas Dale, who accompanied Thomas Rolfe and his parents on their trip to England aboard the Treasurer in 1616. He was a year old during this voyage, and (being half Native American) was not necessarily immune to the diseases and hardships of the voyage. Thomas survived, but a year later in spring 1617 was stricken with a severe fever, as was his mother."

These individuals were to establish the first permanent English settlement in America. Soon after they landed, they began the construction of the fort that became the new settlement of Jamestown, named for the king of England, King James I. The next twelve years were a very harrowing time for these new settlers, and most would not survive.1 The settlers of Jamestown would be under semi-military rulers who would keep the settlers in line to keep them alive. In 1618, however, the Virginia Company decided that the colony was ready for self-rule. It set up the Virginia House of Burgesses in the Virginia colony, which became the first representative assembly in America. The House of Burgesses did not want to continue to be just a nominal governmental body, the Burgesses ultimately wanted to gain more power and govern Virginia for themselves.2 The Virginia Company failed, however, and King James I made Virginia a royal colony, leaving the House of Burgesses‟ ability to govern in doubt. Before the Virginia House of Burgesses, the colony generally used strong, military-like leaders to run the colony. John Smith was one of the early leaders who helped the colony to survive. He was a young man at the start of this great endeavor, and he took on the day-to-day management of the colony in 1608, putting men to work building houses to replace their tattered tents, “cabins worse than nought,” and preparing the grounds for crops.3 Smith was a tough 1 James P.

Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Pocahontas (c. 1595 – March 21, 1617) was a Native American woman who married an Englishman, John Rolfe, and became a celebrity in London toward the end of her life. She was a daughter of Wahunsunacock (also known as Chief or Emperor Powhatan), who ruled an area encompassing almost all of the neighboring tribes in the Tidewater region of Virginia (called Tenakomakah at the time). Her formal names were Matoaka and Amonute [1]; 'Pocahontas' was a childhood nickname referring to her frolicsome nature (in the Powhatan language it meant \"\"little wanton\"\", according to William Strachey [2]). In her last days she went by Rebecca Rolfe.

When English colonists settled in Jamestown in 1607, Pocahontas befriended them. She played with some of the children of the colonists, and the parents grew fond of her as well; on a whole, the situation between the Powhatans and the colonists was tenuous. Tensions continued between the colonists and the Powhatan Indians. In 1608, the leader of the colony, Captain John Smith, was captured by Powhatan’s men. Smith claims that Pocahontas pleaded for them to spare Smith’s life and they did, and by doing so, she saved the colony of Jamestown. Despite this salvation of Smith, relations between other Englishmen and the Native Americans remained tense. In 1613, Pocahontas was taken hostage by an English ship captain, Samuel Argall. Argall wished to exchange Pocahontas for several Englishmen who were being held by the Powhatans and for numerous supplies, including tools, that the Native Americans had stolen from them. Pocahontas was taken to Jamestown, where the governor, Sir Thomas Dale, impressed by her manners and her intelligence, treated her kindly."

Powhatan, the paramount chief, or mamanatowick, ruled twenty-eight to thirty-two Algonquian-speaking groups that resided from north of the Rappahannock River to south of the James and west to the fall line. The Indians called their land Tsenacomoco and were intent on defending it from invaders either through diplomacy or war. The English, meanwhile, were sometimes confused about which groups were under Powhatan's control. The Chickahominy Indians, for instance, lived in the heart of Tsenacomoco but were independent. The Patawomecks, who lived along the Potomac River, paid Powhatan tribute but were not always loyal. The Indians waged war frequently but on a small scale. They fought off raiding parties of Siouan-speaking Monacans , among others, but at times they also battled each other. Powhatan men \"\"are soon moved to anger,\"\" Captain John Smith observed, \"\"and so militious that they seldome forget an injury.\"\" As such, they often fought to avenge slights and to earn increased personal status, creating a cycle of retribution that sometimes blurred the line between war and peace."

The eldest of five boys and a girl, he was baptized at Saint Helen's Church in Willoughby, Lincolnshire, on January 9, 1580. John Smith may have been a student of the Puritan reformer Francis Marbury (father of Anne Hutchinson) before attending the King Edward VI Grammar School in Louth. In 1595 Smith was apprenticed to the wealthy merchant Thomas Sendall in King's Lynn. This seems to have been an amicable arrangement, but after Smith's father died in April 1596 and his mother remarried, Smith terminated his apprenticeship and left England. Looking to travel, he served as a soldier in the Low Countries under Captain Joseph Duxbury until about 1599; he then joined a company of English volunteers as an attendant to Peregrine Bertie, thirteenth baron Willoughby of Eresby, and traveled to France as part of forces allied with Henri IV, the Huguenot (Protestant) claimant to the throne. After returning to England, Smith became acquainted with an Italian nobleman of Greek descent who taught Smith much about horsemanship. Late in 1600, he returned to mainland Europe, traveling to the south of France and then through the eastern Mediterranean on a merchant ship whose captain had a penchant for piracy. After an encounter with a large Venetian merchant ship, Smith landed in Italy with a share of prize money.

A Republican, as Secretary of Commerce in the 1920s he introduced themes of efficiency in the business community and provided government support for standardization, efficiency and international trade. As president from 1929 to 1933, his domestic programs were overshadowed by the onset of the Great Depression. Hoover was defeated in a landslide election in 1932 by Democratic Franklin D. Roosevelt, who promised a New Deal. After this loss, Hoover became staunchly conservative, and advocated against Roosevelt’s New Deal policies. Claiming to be the first student from Stanford University, Hoover would go on to a successful mining engineer career around the globe until he retired in 1912—he is the only president to have known Mandarin Chinese. In the First World War, Hoover built an international reputation as a humanitarian by leading relief efforts in Belgium during the war, and in Eastern Europe afterwards. He headed the U. S. Food Administration during World War I. His reputation as a progressive businessman fighting for efficiency and elimination of waste was built by his service as an atypically prominent Secretary of Commerce (1921–1928). Hoover was a leader in the Efficiency Movement, which held that every institution public and private was riddled with unsuspected inefficiencies. They all could be improved by experts who could identify the problems and solve them."

The New Deal owed much to what he had begun. 1 —FDR advisor Rexford G. Tugwell Many historians, most of the general public, and even many economists think of Herbert Hoover, the president who preceded Franklin D. Roosevelt, as a defender of laissez-faire economic policy. According to this view, Hoover’s dogmatic commitment to small government led him to stand by and do nothing while the economy collapsed in the wake of the 1929 stock market crash. The reality is quite different. Far from being a bystander, Hoover actively intervened in the economy, advocating and implementing polices that were quite similar to those that Franklin Roosevelt later implemented. Moreover, many of Hoover's interventions, like those of his successor, caused the Great Depression to be “great”—that is, to last a long time. Hoover’s early career Hoover, a very successful mining engineer, thought that the engineer’s focus on efficiency could enable government to play a larger and more constructive role in the economy. In 1917, he became head of the wartime Food Administration, working to reduce American food consumption. Many Democrats, including FDR, saw him as a potential presidential candidate for their party in the 1920s."

"text": "\"Definition and Summary of the Great Depression Summary and Definition: The Great Depression started in 1929 sparked by the Wall Street Crash. The economic crisis led to bank closures, mass unemployment, homelessness, hunger and the despair and dejection of American people. The terrible drought in 1932 led to dust storms that ravaged the land in the prairies states of America brought unbelievable hardship to even more people. Bread Lines and Soup Kitchens were the only form of sustenance for the hungry. People joined Hunger Marches and the Bonus Army March by WW1 veterans resulted in debacle in Washington. Shantytowns, called 'Hoovervilles' sprang up across the country, the only refuge for the homeless. Unemployed men, hobos, traveled the railways to different locations desperately searching for work. The worst years of the Great Depression were 1932-1933, during the presidency of Herbert Hoover who was blamed for the crisis. Things slowly improved under the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The economic output in America surged and unemployment fell as the United States entered WW2."

The causes of the Great Depression in the early 20th century have been extensively discussed by economists and remain a matter of active debate. They are part of the larger debate about economic crises. The specific economic events that took place during the Great Depression are well established. There was an initial stock market crash that triggered a \"\"panic sell-off\"\" of assets. This was followed by a deflation in asset and commodity prices, dramatic drops in demand and credit, and disruption of trade, ultimately resulting in widespread unemployment (over 13 million people were unemployed by 1932) and impoverishment. However, economists and historians have not reached a consensus on the causal relationships between various events and government economic policies in causing or ameliorating the Depression. Current mainstream theories may be broadly classified into two main points of view. The first are the demand-driven theories, from Keynesian and institutional economists who argue that the depression was caused by a widespread loss of confidence that led to underconsumption. The demand-driven theories argue that the financial crisis following the 1929 crash led to a sudden and persistent reduction in consumption and investment spending . ["

The Great Depression began in August 1929, when the United States economy first went into an economic recession. Although the country spent two months with declining GDP, it was not until the Wall Street Crash in October 1929 that the effects of a declining economy were felt, and a major worldwide economic downturn ensued. The market crash marked the beginning of a decade of high unemployment, poverty, low profits, deflation, plunging farm incomes, and lost opportunities for economic growth and personal advancement. Although its causes are still uncertain and controversial, the net effect was a sudden and general loss of confidence in the economic future. [ 1]The usual explanations include numerous factors, especially high consumer debt, ill-regulated markets that permitted overoptimistic loans by banks and investors, and the lack of high-growth new industries, [2] all interacting to create a downward economic spiral of reduced spending, falling confidence and lowered production.

He was appointed as the director of the Bureau of Investigation — the FBI's predecessor — in 1924 and was instrumental in founding the FBI in 1935, where he remained director until his death in 1972 at the age of 77. Hoover has been credited with building the FBI into a larger crime-fighting agency than it was at its inception and with instituting a number of modernizations to police technology, such as a centralized fingerprint file and forensic laboratories. Later in life and after his death, Hoover became a controversial figure as evidence of his secretive abuses of power began to surface. He was found to have exceeded the jurisdiction of the FBI, [1] and to have used the FBI to harass political dissenters and activists, to amass secret files on political leaders, [2] and to collect evidence using illegal methods. [ 3] Hoover consequently amassed a great deal of power and was in a position to intimidate and threaten sitting presidents. [ 4]One of his biographers, Kenneth Ackerman, writes that the allegation that Hoover's secret files kept presidents from firing him is “a myth”. [ 5] However, Richard Nixon was recorded in 1971 stating that one of the reasons he did not fire Hoover was that he was afraid of reprisals against him from Hoover. [ 6] President Truman said that Hoover transformed the FBI into his private secret police force:... we want no Gestapo or secret police. The FBI is tending in that direction."

The son of a Quaker blacksmith, Hoover was orphaned at the age of nine and sent to live with relatives in Oregon. Few expected the boy to amount to much, yet he defied those expectations and achieved international success as a mining engineer and worldwide gratitude as the \"\"Great Humanitarian\"\" who fed war-torn Europe during and after World War I. In the process, he developed a unique philosophy—one balancing responsibility for the welfare of others with an unshakable faith in free enterprise and dynamic individualism. In time this would lead him to feed more than a billion people in fifty-seven countries. He was elected thirty-first President of the United States in a 1928 landslide, but within a few short months he had become a scapegoat in his own land. Even today, Herbert Hoover remains indelibly linked to an economic crisis that put millions of Americans out of work in the 1930s. His 1932 defeat left Hoover's once-bright reputation in shambles."

Glassford was driving south through New Jersey the night of May 21, 1932. Suddenly, a sight appeared in his headlights that he later described as “a bedraggled group of seventy-five or one hundred men and women marching cheerily along, singing and waving at the passing traffic.” One man carried an American flag and another a banner that read, “Bonus or a Job.” Glassford pulled over to have a word with the ragtag group. Atop one of the marchers’ pushcarts, he noted, an infant girl lay sleeping, nestled amid one family’s clothes, oblivious to the ruckus. Glassford, who had been the youngest brigadier general in the Army in World War I, understood almost immediately who these wayfarers were. For two weeks or so, newspapers across the nation had begun carrying accounts of marchers bound for the nation’s capital. The demonstrators were part of a growing delegation of veterans and their families heading to Washington to collect payment of the “bonus,” promised eight years before, in 1924, to soldiers who had served in the Great War. ( That year, wrangling over the federal budget had ordained that this compensation be deferred until 1945.)"

Each had their ideas about how to deal with the Great Depression. For the first two years of the depression, the principles of laissez-faire guided Hoover’s response. He believed that our economy goes through cycles. Thus, he believed the government should let things run their course and eventually things would improve. As a result, many people believe Hoover did nothing to end the depression. During first two years of the depression, this was an accurate perception. However, in his last year as president, Hoover reluctantly got the government involved. The National Credit Corporation, the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, and the Emergency Relief and Construction Act were examples of programs and laws Hoover utilized to help end the depression.

Thousands of banks, hundreds of thousands of businesses, and millions of farmers fell into bankruptcy or ceased operations entirely. Nearly everyone suffered painful losses of wealth and income. Many advocate vast governmental expenditures and deficit spending – resulting in inflation and credit expansion. Many Americans are convinced that the causes of the Great Depression reflected the breakdown of an old economic order built on unhampered markets, unbridled competition, speculation, property rights, and the profit motive. According to them, the Great Depression proved the inevitability of a new order built on government intervention, political and bureaucratic control, human rights, and government welfare. Such persons, under the influence of Keynes, blame businessmen for precipitating depressions by their selfish refusal to spend enough money to maintain or improve the people’s purchasing power. This is why they advocate vast governmental expenditures and deficit spending – resulting in an age of money inflation and credit expansion."

"text": "\"Politics & Government Other - Politics & Government What is different Herbert Hoover and Franklin D. Roosevelt's approach to the Great Depression? I'm thinking about how did both presidents view the role of government and its response to economic crisis. Also, to what extent did the depression transform not only the size and function, but the public's expectations of federal government. Follow 8 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Herbert Clark Hoover (August 10, 1874 – October 20, 1964) was the thirty-first President of the United States (1929–1933). Besides his political career, Hoover was a professional mining engineer and author. As the United States Secretary of Commerce in the 1920s under Presidents Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge, he promoted government intervention under the rubric \"\"economic modernization\"\". In the presidential election of 1928 Hoover easily won the Republican nomination. The nation was prosperous and optimistic, leading to a landslide for Hoover over the Democrat Al Smith. Hoover deeply believed in the Efficiency Movement (a major component of the Progressive Era), arguing that a technical solution existed for every social and economic problem. That position was challenged by the Great Depression, which began in 1929, the first year of his presidency."

A Democrat from Texas, he also served as a United States Representative and as the Majority Leader in the United States Senate. Johnson is one of only four people who have served in all four federal elected positions. [ a]Born in a farmhouse in Stonewall, Texas, Johnson was a high school teacher and worked as a Congressional aide before winning election to the House of Representatives in 1937. He won election to the Senate in 1948, and was appointed the position of Senate Majority Whip in 1951. He became the Senate Minority Leader in 1953 and the Senate Majority Leader in 1955. As a leader in the Senate, Johnson became known for his domineering personality and the \"\"Johnson treatment\"\", his aggressive coercion of powerful politicians to advance legislation. Johnson ran for the Democratic nomination in the 1960 presidential election."

You're right, it was someone other than Oswald. Reliable eyewitnesses placed him in the Texas School Book Depository lunch room immediately before and immediately after the assassination. The Dallas Police Department's paraffin test of his face and hands proved he hadn't fired a rifle that day. The impersonation of Oswald in Mexico City, the government's denial of his due process, and the murder of Oswald while in police custody are obvious signs he was simply a patsy, just as he had protested. And the brave testimony in recent years of his former co-worker and mistress Judyth Vary Baker reveal who Lee Oswald really was — i.e., a loyal Marine who volunteered for a CIA-managed phony defector program, participated in a USG assassination plot against Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, spied on pro-Castro Cubans for the FBI, and tried to prevent the assassination of Pres. Kennedy. Kennedy was murdered as the result of a conspiracy. It's hard for me to see how anyone who has researched the case with an open mind can arrive at any other conclusion."

May 19, 2008For many in this room, Lyndon Johnson’s Centennial is a time for personal memories. We remember how LBJ drove himself—and many of us—to use every second of his Presidency. We remember his five a.m. wake-up calls asking about a front page story in the New York Times—the edition that had not yet been delivered to our home; his insatiable appetite for a program to cure every ill he saw; his insistence that every call from a member of Congress be returned on the day it was received—even if it meant running the member down in a barroom, bathroom or bedroom; his insistence that hearings begin one day after we sent a bill to Congress; his pressure to get more seniors enrolled in Medicare, more blacks registered to vote, more schools desegregated, more kids signed up for Head Start, more Mexican-Americans taking college scholarships or loans, more billboards torn down faster—for the country, and for Lady Bird. And we remember his signature admonition: “Do it now. Not next week. Not tomorrow. Not later today. Now. ”We who served him saw that Lyndon Johnson could be brave and brutal, compassionate and cruel, incredibly intelligent and infuriatingly stubborn. We came to know his shrewd and uncanny instinct for the jugular of both allies and adversaries."

Vice President Hubert Humphrey is at left and House Speaker John Mc Cormack is at right. ( AP Photo)As President Obama prepares to deliver his State of the Union Address, there are many Democrats who wish that there was a tougher president sitting in the White House. After years of frustration, these Democrats yearn for a leader who can do more wheeling and dealing and who would engage in the hardball tactics that seem necessary to get things done. If only Obama could be more like Lyndon Johnson. Almost everyone holds up Johnson up as the model of a president who knows how to make Congress work. Once reviled as the evil president who dragged the nation into Vietnam, Johnson is now memorialized as the magician of Washington who could do what everyone else found to be impossible. The recent film “Selma” has come under fire for its portrayal of Johnson as disinterested in voting rights. Yet even this critical portrayal depicts LBJ as all-powerful. Rather than exploring why Johnson feared sending a bill to Congress, we see a president who is singularly making the decision to hold back legislation."

His family included some of the earliest settlers of the Lone Star State. They had been cattlemen, cotton farmers, and soldiers for the Confederacy. Lyndon was born in 1908 to Sam and Rebekah Baines Johnson, the first of their five children. His mother was reserved and genteel while his father was a talker and a dreamer, a man cut out for more than farming. Sam Johnson won election to the Texas legislature when he was twenty-seven. He served five terms before he switched careers and failed to make a living solely as a farmer on the family land seventy miles west of Austin. Education and Teaching Career In 1913, the Johnsons abandoned the farm and moved to nearby Johnson City. The family house, while comfortable by the standards of the rural South at the time, had neither electricity nor indoor plumbing. Lyndon, like his father, wanted more for his future."

Johnson's approval ratings had dropped from 70 percent in mid-1965 to below 40 percent by 1967, and with it, his mastery of Congress. \"\" I can't get out, I can't finish it with what I have got. So what the hell do I do?\"\" he lamented to Lady Bird. Johnson never did figure out the answer to that question. The Vietnam War The Vietnam War was a conflict between North and South Vietnam, but it had global ramifications. The North was led by a Communist and nationalist regime that had fought against the Japanese in World War II and against French colonial rule in the late 1940s. In 1954, it won control of North Vietnam when the French agreed to a partition in the Geneva Accords."

Yoichi Okamoto/National Archives Michael O'Donnell April 2014 Issue Politics Share Tweet…Linked In Email Print Text Size Subscribe to The Atlantic ’s Politics & Policy Daily, a roundup of ideas and events in American politics. In the winter of 1963, as the Civil Rights Act worked its way through Congress, Justice William Brennan decided to play for time. The Supreme Court had recently heard arguments in the appeal of 12 African American protesters arrested at a segregated Baltimore restaurant. The justices had caucused, and a conservative majority had voted to decide Bell v. Maryland by reiterating that the Fourteenth Amendment’s equal-protection clause did not apply to private businesses like restaurants and lunch counters—only to “state actors.” The Court had used this doctrine to limit the reach of the Fourteenth Amendment since 1883. Brennan—the Warren Court’s liberal deal maker and master strategist—knew that such a decision could destroy the civil-rights bill’s chances in Congress. After all, the bill’s key provision outlawed segregation in public accommodations. Taxing his opponents’ patience, he sought a delay in order to request the government’s views on the case."

Johnson is Sworn in as US President Two hours and eight minutes after President Kennedy was assassinated in a motorcade at Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas, Johnson was sworn in as President on Air Force One in Dallas at Love Field Airport on November 22, 1963. He was sworn in by Federal Judge Sarah T. Hughes, a family friend, making him the first President sworn in by a woman. He is also the only President to have been sworn in on Texas soil. Johnson did not swear on a Bible, as there were none on Air Force One; a Roman Catholic missal was found in Kennedy's desk and was used for the swearing-in ceremony. Johnson created a panel headed by Chief Justice Earl Warren, known as the Warren Commission, to investigate Kennedy's assassination. The commission conducted hearings and concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination. Not everyone agreed with the Warren Commission, however, and numerous public and private investigations continued for decades after Johnson left office. The wave of national grief following the assassination gave enormous momentum to Johnson's promise to carry out Kennedy's programs. He retained senior Kennedy appointees, some for the full term of his presidency. Even the late President's brother, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, with whom Johnson had a notoriously difficult relationship, remained in office until leaving in 1964 to run for the Senate."

[ 1] The main objectives of the Progressive movement were eliminating problems caused by industrialization, urbanization, immigration, and corruption in government. The movement primarily targeted political machines and their bosses. By taking down these corrupt representatives in office a further means of direct democracy would be established. They also sought regulation of monopolies (Trust Busting) and corporations through antitrust laws. These antitrust laws were seen as a way to promote equal competition for the advantage of legitimate competitors. Many progressives supported prohibition of alcoholic beverages, ostensibly to destroy the political power of local bosses based in saloons, but others out of a religious motivation. [ 2] At the same time, women's suffrage was promoted to bring a \"\"purer\"\" female vote into the arena. [ 3] A third theme was building an Efficiency Movement in every sector that could identify old ways that needed modernizing, and bring to bear scientific, medical and engineering solutions; a key part of the efficiency movement was scientific management, or \"\" Taylorism \"\"."

There were many specific goals that the movement aimed for, including removing corruption and undue influence from the government, to include more people directly into the political process and to enforce the government to play a role in solving the many social issues while bringing fairness into economic matters.

"text": "\"Home » History Content » Ask a Historian Question The years between 1820 and 1865 in the United States might be described as one long era of reform, marked by the predominant desire to purify individuals and society at large. To what extent do you agree with this statement? Answer The reform movements that arose during the antebellum period in America focused on specific issues: temperance, abolishing imprisonment for debt, pacifism, antislavery, abolishing capital punishment, amelioration of prison conditions (with prison's purpose reconceived as rehabilitation rather than punishment), the humane treatment of animals, the humane and just treatment of Native Americans, the establishment of public institutions for the care of the destitute, orphans, blind, and mentally ill, the establishment of public schools, the abolition of tobacco use, vegetarianism, health reform, homeopathic medicine, woman's rights (including, at first, especially the establishment of a woman's right to own property apart from her husband and her right to sue for divorce), and the amelioration of labor conditions (including higher pay, the right to form unions, the right to strike, and the demand for limits on the number of work hours, and safe working conditions). Universal Reform All these causes did not arise at the same time, but were added or fully articulated one by one. Although many people became convinced or active in one or two of these issues, the leading activists for these causes were often interchangeable, and would meet at loosely linked conventions of reformers, where they shared enthusiasms and political strategies, and jostled for leadership niches in the various reform movements. All these causes did not arise at the same time, but were added or fully articulated one by one. As each arose, many reformers—who took to calling themselves \"\"universal reformers\"\"—took them on and added them to their own collection of causes. Moral Suasion versus Coercion Reform activists during the early part of this period, from about 1820 to about 1840, believed that they could bring about the needed reforms essentially through convincing people, one by one, of the rightness of the cause, or by preaching at them to cause individual \"\"conversion\"\" to the cause. This was called \"\"moral suasion.\"\" Unfortunately for the reformers, this did not always bring the success that they wished for—somehow people would not come around to their beliefs, or, at least, not enough of them to spontaneously change the situation that needed reforming."

"text": "Gilded Age Politics Politics in the Gilded Age were intense. In the years between 1877 and 1897 , control of the House of Representatives repeatedly changed hands between the Democratic and Republican parties. Political infighting between the Stalwart and Half-Breed factions in the Republican Party prevented the passage of significant legislation. During this era, the political parties nominated presidential candidates that lacked strong opinions—possibly to avoid stirring up sectional tensions so soon after the Civil War. “The Forgotten Presidents”Some historians have dubbed Presidents Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, Chester A. Arthur, Grover Cleveland, and Benjamin Harrison the “forgotten presidents.” Indeed, it might be argued that the most notable event that occurred during the Gilded Age was the assassination of President Garfield in 1881 . His death prompted Congress to pass the Pendleton Act, which created the Civil Service Commission two years later. This commission reformed the spoils system, which had rewarded supporters of a winning party with “spoils,” or posts in that party’s government. Industrialization and Big Business The Civil War had transformed the North into one of the most heavily industrialized regions in the world, and during the Gilded Age, businessmen reaped enormous profits from this new economy. Powerful tycoons formed giant trusts to monopolize the production of goods that were in high demand."

In historiography the phrase the Dark Ages (or Dark Age) is most commonly known in relation to the European Early Middle Ages (from about 476 C. E. to about 1000 C. E. ). This concept of a \"\"Dark Age\"\" was first created by Italian humanists and was originally intended as a sweeping criticism of the character of Vulgar Latin (Late Latin) literature. Later historians expanded the term to include not only the lack of Latin literature, but a lack of contemporary written history and material cultural achievements in general. Popular culture has further expanded on the term as a vehicle to depict the Middle Ages as a time of backwardness, extending its derogatory use and expanding its scope. The rise of archaeology and other specialties in the twentieth century has shed much light on the period and offered a more nuanced understanding of its positive developments. Other terms of periodization have come to the fore: Late Antiquity, the Early Middle Ages, and the Great Migrations, depending on which aspects of culture are being emphasized. Most modern historians dismiss the notion that the era was a \"\"Dark Age\"\" by pointing out that this idea was based on ignorance of the period combined with popular stereotypes; many previous authors would simply assume that the era was a dismal time of violence and stagnation and use this assumption to prove itself.

Economic Instability The industrial plants that survived became more demanding in terms of both the speed and the regularity with which their workers produced goods. Increasingly frustrated by unfair demands, many laborers chose to strike. It was a collective action, a way of protesting as a group against the economic injustices of the workplace. Strikes enabled laborers to express disagreement with the idea of a permanent wage-laboring class. This was the opposite of what the American republic claimed to offer. Few working-class citizens were able to own or operate a business, buy property, or upgrade to better housing. By the turn of the century, most reformers favored the argument that poverty was the result of the nation's unstable economic conditions. Child Labor Reform Concern for the conditions of the poor gave way to a growing interest in the rights of the working class.

Glaser Progressives were a curious lot—they included young female settlement house workers, corporate reformers, children's advocates, as well as southern segregationists and disenfranchisers. Progressivism might even be a misnomer; after all, what was necessarily \"\"progressive\"\" about the electric chair or segregation? Yet, segregation was viewed as modern, progressive, and a model of public safety and efficiency by some reformers North and South. The main elements of the movement, if we can call it that, can be found in the various reform efforts around child labor, anti-trust, worker safety and labor unions, and women's suffrage. Reformers responded in part to the rapid advancement of new technology, the emergence out of the new industrial economy of urban and corporate dominance, the availability of natural resources as a result of western expansion, the rise of a labor class, and, finally, the loss of middle-class power between the 1880s and 1910s. Reforming efforts took place in all political, economic, and social arenas and each of these efforts repeatedly questioned the role of the federal government in addressing the issues and problems of a new economic order. Many historians argue that the rising, popular expectations of federal authority during this era foreshadowed the large and activist role government would assume during the Great Depression and after World War II. Reformers The typical progressive reformer was young, college-educated, and middle-class. Reformers tended to value scientific studies and the recommendations of professional \"\"experts\"\" whether they were promoting efficiencies in society or fighting corruption in politics."

"text": "Instructor: Natalie Boyd Natalie is a teacher and holds an MA in English Education and is in progress on her Ph D in psychology. Social and political reform during the Progressive Era of American history led to major advancements in public education. In this lesson, we'll examine three of those advancements: the spread of high schools, urban education, and teacher training. Progressive Era Picture this: a society where politicians can't be trusted to do the right thing because they are bribed by the powerful and rich. A place where corporate greed means that the average worker can barely make enough to live on, even as the companies they work for (and the men in charge of them) turn a tidy profit. I'm talking about America in the late 19th and early 20th century. From about the 1880s to about the 1920s, the Progressive Era in America tried to address these issues through a time of great social activism and political reform. The focus of the Progressive Era might sound familiar to you: it was about the rights of all individuals, including women, minorities, consumers, and other groups that people felt did not receive all the rights and protections they deserved. It was a response to political and corporate abuses against people who were weaker than those in power. From protecting consumers from scrupulous corporate practices to securing education and voting rights for all people, the Progressive Era had such far-reaching effects that we are still talking about some of the same issues today, a century later!The Progressive Era had a large impact on all aspects of our lives, from shopping to voting to going to school."

"text": "By John C. Goodman In the history of politics, there is only one fundamental, abiding issue: It is individualism vs. collectivism. Do individuals have the right to pursue their own happiness, as Thomas Jefferson thought and as the Declaration of Independence deemed self-evident? Or do we have an obligation to live our lives for the community or the state, as most societies have claimed throughout most of history? Yet if this is the paramount political issue, why is it not forthrightly debated in presidential elections and in other contests for public office? The reason is that American political debates tend to be dominated by modern liberalism and modern conservatism — approaches to politics that are properly called “sociologies” rather than “ideologies. ”Modern liberalism is not completely collectivist; nor is it completely individualistic. It has elements of both doctrines. The same is true of conservatism. Neither view provides a coherent approach to politics, built up from first principles. Instead, they both reflect a process that is akin to picking items from a dinner menu."

The progressive era emphasized efficiency and an end to political corruption, and appealed to well-educated middle class Americans.

They wanted to purify society, and most supported prohibition and woman suffrage. Jane Addams was the most prominent leader outside government.

S., 1858-1919 Photo: Library of Congress Digital ID cph 3b35264The foundation of modern America was born during the progressive era (Chambers, 1980). Progressivism refers to the different responses to the economic and social evolutions that occurred as a result of America’s rapid urbanization and industrialization at the end of the 19th century. In the late 1800s, millions of Americans migrated west and into urban areas, and hundreds of thousands of African Americans moved to northern cities. Moreover, the United States experienced unprecedented levels of immigration at this time (George Washington University, n.d.). Rapid advances in technology and industrialization took its toll on Americans. While urban areas benefited from electricity and running water, rural farmers struggled to maintain their farms as they battled increased competition, costly machinery, and falling prices. Thus, progressivism began as a social movement to cope with the various social needs of the time and ultimately evolved into a reform movement. Early progressives rejected Social Darwinism and believed that society’s problems, such as poverty, poor health, violence, greed, racism, and class warfare, could be best eradicated through better education, a safer environment, a more efficient workplace, and a more honest government. Progressives at this time were primarily college-educated urban dwellers who believed that the government could be used as a tool for change (George Washington University, n.d.)."

The temporary party organs consist of a series of regularly scheduled (biennial) conventions beginning at the precinct level and limited to persons who voted in the party primary. The chief function of the precinct convention is to choose delegates to the county convention or the senatorial district convention held on the third Saturday after the first primary. When a county has more than one senatorial district because of its large population, a separate senatorial district convention is held for each senate district in the county. The delegates who gather at the county and the senatorial district conventions are likewise chiefly concerned with choosing delegates to the state convention held biennially in June for the purpose of formally choosing the state executive committee, adopting a party platform, and officially certifying the party's candidates to be listed on the general election ballot. In presidential election years the state convention also chooses delegates to the national presidential nominating convention. Until 1984 two state conventions were held in gubernatorial years, one for state affairs in September and one for sending delegates to the national Democratic convention. The permanent organs of the party are largely independent of the temporary ones. Voters in the Democratic primary in each precinct elect for a two-year term of office a chairman or committee person who is formally the party's agent or spokesman in that precinct."

By David Greenberg What does Glenn Beck have against Woodrow Wilson? Of all the eccentricities of today's resurgent right, one of the strangest has to be the virulent, obsessive hatred of Woodrow Wilson. For a long time, conservatives have talked about turning back the clock to a period before America veered off course. Typically, though, they have wanted to repudiate the 1960s—politically, to repeal the Great Society; culturally, to beat back the sexual, civil, and women's rights revolutions. Occasionally, as when policymakers debated a New Deal-style response to the 2008 recession, conservative polemicists have reached back further, blaming our woes on FDR and Keynesian economics. But it has been a long time since Woodrow Wilson—intense, private, cerebral—galvanized much anti-government fury. If anything, the reformist president of the Progressive Era, once a great icon of democrats worldwide, has been flayed more often by the left—for his idealistic internationalism (given a bad name by George W. Bush), his wartime suppression of dissent (of which Bush, again, reminded liberals), and his racist predilections (a stain on his record now impossible to ignore). The right had largely ignored or forgotten him."

HOLLIThe Pennsylvania State University Press Read the Review AMERICA'S BIG-CITY MAYORSThe Experts Name the Best and the Worst The American mayoralty, though it is one of the important political executive offices in the nation (president of the United States and governor being the other two), has escaped the kind of ranking scholars have employed to evaluate our chief executive office, the American presidency. From some of those polls, we have a clear sense about who the great U. S. presidents, as well as the worst, are. Our picture of the American presidents, and their reputations and rankings among the American historians and social scientists, come from two pioneering polls of experts that Arthur M. Schlesinger Sr. conducted in 1948 and 1962, and from more-recent surveys, such as the one by Robert K. Murray and Tim Blessing in 1989 and the ones by Steve Neal in 1982 and 1995. The Neal survey focused on both the ten best and the ten worst presidents. We have no comparable surveys of the best and worst American mayors. Scholars know about the American mayoralty in discrete fragments from monographs, urban biographies, and articles on individual cities and studies of single cities and their mayors. Yet the pieces of the puzzle remain scattered and unassembled and do not add up to a big-picture rating of the American urban executive. Although individual opinions abound, no comprehensive synthesis or collective judgment is available. Efforts to create such a synthesis have probably been stymied by the size of the task (dozens of cities and hundreds of mayors, compared with only thirty-nine presidents at the time of the Murray-Blessing poll in 1982) and by the endless details on the separate histories of dozens of cities."

"text": "\"Home » AP US History » Unit Notes » Unit 07 - 1900-1920Roosevelt & Progressivism Printer Friendly Roosevelt & Progressivism Many intellectuals increasingly challenged the foundations of the social order. Voices of reform thundered over the nation calling for democratic government, better cities, and the curbing of corporate power. This movement, labeled progressivism, found its first national leader in Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt actively pursued many of his goals: labor mediation, consumer protection, conservation, business virtue, and activism abroad. His successor, Taft, continued in Roosevelt’s aims but lacked his political genius. Election of 1900: candidates and issues: William Mc Kinley, the Republican candidate, beat William Jennings Bryan, the Democratic candidate, for President. The Republican campaign theme of prosperity, summed up in the slogan \"\"A Full Dinner Pail,\"\" easily won him a second term. Mc Kinley had 284 electoral votes where as Bryan had 115. Roosevelt’s Big Stick diplomacy: One of Roosevelt’s most famous statements was \"\"speak softly and carry a big stick.\"\" An example of his meaning in this statement was when Canada wanted the Alaskan land that America owned."

"text": "\"From The Center for Constitutional Studies Democratizing the Constitution: The Failure of the Seventeenth Amendment C. H. Hoebeke * [From HUMANITAS, Volume IX, No. 2, 1996 © National Humanities Institute ]It was with no small sense of vindication that Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan signed the proclamation of 31 May 1913, declaring the Seventeenth Amendment duly ratified and incorporated into the fundamental laws of the United States. More than twenty years earlier as a Nebraska congressman, \"\"The Great Commoner\"\" had joined the struggle to free the Senate from the control of corrupt state legislatures, and despite three failed campaigns for the presidency, he never wavered in his determination to make the Senate a popularly elected body. 1 Now, after the most protracted political battle in that usually bloodless revolution historians refer to as the Progressive Era, Secretary Bryan put his seal upon the reform that, in the expectations of those who had labored for it, would end the dominance of party \"\"bosses\"\" and the state \"\"machines,\"\" stamp out the undue influence of special interests in the Senate, make it more responsive to the will of the people, and of course, eliminate, or greatly reduce, the execrable practice of spending large sums of money to get elected. As we shall see, even while the amendment was still being considered by the American public, there were ample reasons to doubt its effectiveness and to question the credulity, if not the integrity, of those who proposed it. But more than eight decades after the amendment, the current condition of Senate elections and Senate politics makes the sanguine predictions of 1913 look wholly na‹ve. Progressive Era reformers scandalized by the rare campaign expenditure of a hundred thousand dollars might be shocked senseless to learn that by the 1990s the average cost of a Senate seat would be well over five million dollars, that a candidate would not even approach the threshold of scandal until he had spent fifteen or twenty million dollars. 2 If there was once cause for concern in the muckraking stories of industrial tycoons and railroad barons buying Senate influence through contributions to the state legislators, then the largess of lobbyists and activists that is today handed openly and directly to Senate candidates (overwhelmingly in favor of incumbents) should be a cause for outright alarm. And if in 1913 the old-time brokers of Senate elections were cleared from their smoke-filled rooms, the current regime of media consultants, professional pollsters, mass-market specialists, and \"\"constituent-minded\"\" software is hardly the victory over political cynicism that Bryan and the Progressives had envisioned. 3In retrospect, the amendment failed to accomplish what was expected of it, and in most cases failed dismally."

"text": "Bronson Arroyo Bronson Arroyo To Retire By Connor Byrne | September 24, 2017 at 8:31am CDTReds right-hander Bronson Arroyo has decided to retire, according to reports from Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer and Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald. The Reds honored the 40-year-old Arroyo before and after their game Saturday against the Red Sox, one of his former teams. “It feels now like my senior year in high school and I’m ready to get out,” Arroyo said. “ I’m honestly ready to go. ”Injuries derailed Arroyo’s career in recent seasons and prevented him from taking the mound after June 18 this year, making his choice to walk away from the game unsurprising. Arroyo underwent Tommy John surgery as a member of the Diamondbacks in 2014, causing him to miss all of 2015, and was unable to earn a spot with the Nationals entering the 2016 season thanks in part to a torn rotator cuff. He returned to the Reds, with whom he pitched from 2006-13, on a minor league deal last offseason. While Arroyo improbably earned a spot in the Reds’ rotation in the spring, he dealt with shoulder problems that limited him to 71 innings of 7.35 ERA ball in his final season. Despite his health issues over the past few years, Arroyo enjoyed an eminently successful career as a reliable innings eater. He entered the pro ranks as a third-round pick of the Pirates in 1995 and ultimately broke out with the Red Sox, who claimed him off waivers from Pittsburgh in 2003."

Critics have ripped the Army’s Ranger School for months about its willingness to include female students for the first time, and even more so this week after the service announced that two women will graduate from the school Friday. The service clearly dropped the standards to do so, the critics say, frequently citing rumors or unnamed Ranger School instructors they say they know. Frustrated with the sniping, Maj. Jim Hathaway, the No. 2 officer in the Airborne and Ranger Training Brigade overseeing Ranger School, took to Facebook to respond. No matter what Ranger School officials say, he said, some people will never give the women credit.

Not only does he sport a Ranger and SF tab on his uniform, but he also has a tattoo of a Ranger tab. He is also sporting a CIB, Pathfinder, Air Assault and what possibly looks like the Army Scuba Badge, although I can’t be sure about that one due to picture quality. A real Ranger spotted the faker on the U. S. Army Ranger Association (USARA) Facebook page, and decided since he lived close by, he would confront him.

( Sat Apr 7)Spin: Bruce Maxwell will start behind the plate in place of Lucroy. The day off will be Lucroy's third in the Athletics' opening ten games, a fairly typical amount of playing time for a starting catcher. He's had a decent start to the season, hitting .269/.321/.346 through 28 plate appearances. ESPN Fantasy Projection: Almost everything that could've gone wrong for Lucroy in 2017 did, and it's damning that he spent the entirety of the year in two of the most hitting-rich environments in all of baseball, first at Texas' Globe Life Park, then at Colorado's Coors Field following a mid-season trade. That could explain how he lingered on the free-agent market so deep into the offseason, and now he'll have to attempt a rebound in a pitching-friendly venue in the Oakland Coliseum."

While Burt, Squeeky, and Fallbot continue to perfect the robotic dog (aka the danger ranger x-7000 canine demo unit), Sully and Kitty work with Alice and Willie to find the right dog at Mr. Sherman's dog shelter. Plot Edit SAVO wakes Sully up, reminding him of the Pooch Parade at a county fair, but when he gets dressed, as Kitty points out, he had put his shirt on backwards, so he claims it's backwards day. Kitty calls him a nut, and they both go up the escalator (still barefoot), with Kitty wondering if Burt's got his latest invention ready. Meanwhile, upstairs, Burt is still working on his invention, awaited by an eager Fallbot. Burt reveals it to be a robot dog, known as the Canine X-7000. Sully, Kitty, and Burt review dog safety with Fallbot, who shows how much he knows about it. Kitty compliments the look of the robot dog, as it reminds her of Buddy, a dog she once owned as a kitten."

( Tom Fox/The Dallas Morning News)By Gerry Fraley and Evan Grant Editor's note: This story has been updated since it was originally published. The Rangers traded pitcher Yu Darvish to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday afternoon. In return, the Rangers acquired three minor-leaguers: second baseman/outfielder Willie Calhoun, right-handed pitcher A. J. Alexy and infielder Brendon Davis. The Dodgers did not trade either of their top two prospects, righthander Walker Buehler or center fielder Alex Verdugo. Calhoun, the headliner of the Rangers' haul, was the Dodgers' No. 4 prospect. Willie Calhoun will be coming to Rangers as part of Darvish package + 2 others.— Evan Grant (@Evan_P_Grant) July 31, 2017Grant said the trade was a good one given the Rangers' limited options. Immediate take on Darvish trade: It was a good trade because it was best trade that was out there."

An AL East and international matchup will follow at 4:05 pm ET with the Toronto Blue Jays taking on the Tampa Bay Rays in St. Petersburg.

But in his own backyard in Tampa, the Yankees owner watched the team lose a second and third straight game on Friday, then Saturday. So, Steinbrenner gave his blessings to what his general manager, Brian Cashman, wanted to do all along: Maximize Aroldis Chapman and Andrew Miller in a trade market with a few teams in a frenzy for late-inning relief help. Because Chapman was in his walk year, Steinbrenner approved that more readily. But on Saturday – after even taking the time to read scouting reports and watch film of Indians prospects Clint Frazier and Justus Sheffield – he gave his approval to deal Miller to Cleveland. The swap was finalized Sunday morning with the Yanks giving up arguably the best reliever in the majors, Miller, for one of the best outfielder prospects in the game, Frazier, lefty Sheffield and two relief prospects, Ben Heller and J. P. Feyereisen. Modal Trigger Clint Frazier Getty Images The Yankees are listening on all of their veteran players. They have gotten a few nibbles from the Braves about Brian Mc Cann.

"text": "Jake Arrieta set a standard in 2015 that will be almost impossible to match. ( Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)In the four-year history of baseball’s current postseason format, only the National League Central has produced three playoff teams in one year — first in 2013, and then again last season, when the upstart Cubs joined St. Louis and Pittsburgh, then outlasted both of them in the playoffs. Now, Chicago enters the season not as a team that might be good in a year or two. They enter what might be the most anticipated season on Chicago’s North Side as — gulp — favorites, both because of what they did last year on the field (winning 97 games) and what they did over the winter in taking the game’s best young core and improving it. A pre-spring training look at the division, which might have three playoff contenders again. [ Why the Mets will win the NL East in 2016]Chicago Cubs2015 record and finish: 97-65, third in division, lost to New York Mets in NLCS2016 Fan Graphs projection: 94-68, first Significant additions: OF Jason Heyward, IF/OF Ben Zobrist, SP John Lackey, RP Adam Warren Significant losses: SS Starlin Castro, CF Dexter Fowler, OF Chris Denorfia, OF Austin Jackson Why they’ll win the division: They won 97 games in their coming-out year, then stole from the team that has won three straight division titles. Had the Cubs simply added Heyward and Lackey in a vacuum, their offseason could have been called a success, because they added arguably the most valuable free-agent position player on the market (Heyward was worth 6.0 wins above replacement (WAR) in 2015, according to Fan Graphs) and the veteran starter they needed behind Cy Young winner Jake Arrieta and Jon Lester (Lackey was worth 3.6 WAR). But the Cubs didn’t land those two players — the 26-year-old Heyward for eight years and $184 million, Lackey for two years and $32 million — in a vacuum. They took them directly from the Cardinals, the team the 2015 Cubs ousted from the postseason. The team with the best young core in baseball — a core so good that they could trade a 25-year-old three-time all-star shortstop (Castro, who went to the Yankees for Warren) just so they could fit all their pieces — added to its offense, defense, rotation and bullpen."

"text": "\" (Photo: Tommy Gilligan, USA TODAY Sports)CONNECT TWEET LINKEDIN COMMENT EMAIL MOREThe Rangers did a Texas two-step. The Chicago White Sox decided to hang onto their valuables. The San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers took their rivalry to the streets. And the Yankee Stadium World Series banners were lowered to half-mast. It was a topsy-turvy frantic non-waiver trade deadline Monday, there were 18 trades including eight All-Stars and 11 top prospects, but at the end of the day, the Texas Rangers are the new favorites to reach the World Series for the third time in seven years, while the Yankees traded their pennant hopes for white surrender flags. The Rangers, for the second consecutive year, took advantage of a vetoed trade to not only land All-Star catcher Jonathan Lucroy of the Milwaukee Brewers, but also Brewers closer Jeremy Jeffress and Yankees slugger Carlos Beltran. Rangers acquire Jonathan Lucroy, whose decision may swing balance of AL power The Rangers’ six-game lead over the Houston Astros in the AL West may as well be 60 games, and with Cole Hamels and Yu Darvish atop of the rotation, they may have eclipsed the Cleveland Indians as favorites to win the AL pennant. “We think we have a real chance to win this year, and win next year,’’ Rangers GM Jon Daniels said, “and these guys are going to be here to help us to do both. ”It was a year ago that the Rangers grabbed Philadelphia Phillies ace Cole Hamels after he vetoed a trade to the Houston Astros, willing to go to Texas simply because his wife’s sister’s family lived in the Dallas area. This time, they seized Lucroy, who vetoed the Cleveland Indians’ trade when they refused to guarantee that he would be their starting catcher in 2017."

"text": "\"What makes Buster Posey baseball's best defensive catcher? Buster Posey won the first Gold Glove of his career last season. Tim Clayton/Getty Images Mar 25, 2017Mark Simon ESPN Staff Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Emailprintcomment For the first time in nearly a decade, the reigning National League Gold Glove Award winner at catcher is someone other than Yadier Molina, and with that honor comes the transfer of the title of best defensive catcher in baseball. San Francisco Giants backstop Buster Posey won his first Gold Glove in 2016, ending Molina's eight-year run. Posey doesn't fit the mold of a Molina or some of the other \"\"best in the game\"\" catchers who came before him. Unlike those catchers, what makes him great isn't necessarily the deterrent value of his throwing arm. Yes, Posey throws out would-be base stealers at a slightly above-average clip (33 percent in 2016), but he isn't in the realm of Molina or AL Gold Glove winner Salvador Perez, against whom baserunners are often given the red light. Buster's Best* Won first Gold Glove in 2016* Leads MLB in Defensive Runs Saved over past three seasons* Rates as best in MLB in pitch framing, pitch blocking and bunt defense Instead, Posey excels at just about everything else a catcher does. A Giants-rooting colleague of mine said of Posey, \"\"He's perfect.\"\" Last season, he was the closest thing to it -- the best in the game in three areas of catcher defense."

Piero Barone was born in Naro, Sicily; Ignazio Boschetto was born in Bologna, Italy; and Gianluca Ginoble was born in Roseto degli Abruzzi, Italy. These three pop-opera singers began their career when they met on the second edition of the Italian RAI TV music competition show ''Ti lascio una canzone'' (English: Leavin' You a Song), held at the Ariston Theater in Sanremo. On May 2, 2009, Gianluca Ginoble won the competition, singing Andrea Bocelli's \"\"Il mare calmo della sera\"\". During the competition, the three singers were chosen to perform, as a trio, the Neapolitan classic \"\"'O Sole Mio\"\". After the competition, they continued to perform together under the names The Tryo, Il Trio, and finally Il Volo. In 2010, the trio participated in the charity single, \"\"We Are the World 25 for Haiti\"\", remake of the 1985 hit song, \"\"We Are the World\"\". In February 2010, they performed the songs, \"\"Granada\"\" and \"\"Un Amore Cosi Grande\"\", during the 60th Sanremo Festival. Also at that festival, the trio performed for Queen Rania of Jordan (Regina Rania di Giordania). Their first self-titled album was recorded in 2010 in the Abbey Road Studios in London and produced by Tony Renis and Humberto Gatica."

"text": "What is the Difference Between Per Capita, Per Stirpes, and Per Capita with Representation Distributions? March 7, 2011 by Rania Combs 1 Comment P er stirpes and per capita are commonly used terms in wills, trusts, and intestate distribution statutes to describe how a deceased person’s estate is to be distributed to his or her beneficiaries or heirs. But figuring out what these words mean can get a bit confusing. Below is an explanation of each type of distribution. Per Stirpes Per stirpes is the Latin term that literally means “by the roots.” If an estate is distributed per stirpes, each living member of a group of beneficiaries closest to the person making the distribution will receive an equal share of the estate. However, if one of the beneficiaries predeceases the person making the distribution, that beneficiary’s descendants will take by representation the share of the estate to which their parent would have been entitled. By way of illustration, let’s assume: Jack had three children, Adam, Bill, and Carl Adam has two children, David and Evan Bill has one child, Frank, and Carl has three children, Grant, Henry and Ian. In his will, Jack specifies that his estate is to be distributed to his descendants, per stirpes. If Jack is survived by Adam, Bill, and Carl, each of his children would be entitled to 1/3 of his estate."

"text": "Why Do I Need a HIPAA Authorization? March 17, 2010 by Rania Combs Leave a Comment What is HIPAA? T he Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), is a Federal law that required the establishment of national standards to protect the privacy of patients’ health care information. The Privacy Rule, which took effect on April 14, 2003, regulates the use and disclosure of “Protected Health Information.” “ Protected Health Information” is defined very broadly as: Individually identifiable health information transmitted or maintained in any form which:is held by a covered entity or its business associate;identifies the individual or offers a reasonable basis for identification;is created or received by a covered entity or an employer; orrelates to a past, present or future physical or mental condition, provision of health care or payment for health care. To whom does HIPAA apply? HIPAA limits “covered entities” from sharing your protected health information. Covered entities include health care providers that conduct transactions in electronic form, health care clearinghouses, and health plans. Essentially, any health care provider or insurance company that uses computers in the normal course of its business is subject to this law. What happens if a covered entity violates HIPAA?"

"text": "\"Question Click here to send us a question Assalamualaikum, could you please tell me the meaning and pronunciation of following girls names in the light of Quran and Islam....jazak Allah in advance! Raameen Rania Asmara Answer This is an official answer by Quranic Names.com Staff Alaikumassalam wa rahmatullah,Raameen does not sound like any Arabic name or word I know of. It is however a Persian name for boys from a famous pre-Islamic Persian love story, Vis and Rameen. It is of Zoroastrian origin and the meaning is \"\"joyful\"\" and \"\"tamer\"\", one who tames animals. The meaning is not bad and it is a common name in the Middle East, for this reason you can use it if you like it, but it is not an Islamic name. I haven't seen it used for girls by Persians. But it is possible that this name has other origins in other cultures and they may use it for girls as well. Rania is an indirect Quranic name for girls, it means \"\"one who gazes at another person with love\"\", and also means one who triumphs and overcomes. Asmara [pronounced as (U)ltimate + (SM)art + h (U)mble + (RU)n] is a verb that is used for the moon, it means the moon didn't come up. It comes from Samar, moonless night."

"text": "\"Shutterstock If you hate the treadmill, we've got good news for you: Minute per minute, weight training fights belly fat better than cardio does, according to new research published in Obesity. For the study, researchers with the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) examined the physical activity, waist circumference, and body weight of 10,500 healthy men who participated in the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study from 1996 to 2008. Over the study's 12 years, the guys who spent 20 minutes a day weight training (lifting free weights, working on weight machines, and performing body-weight strength moves) had a smaller increase in age-related abdominal fat compared with men who completed moderate-to-vigorous aerobic exercise for the same amount of time—even though those who performed aerobic exercise actually lost more weight than the lifters did. That's right: Weight training is the trick when it comes to losing belly fat. Unlike aerobic exercise, which burns both fat and muscle, weight lifting burns fat while building muscle, says lead author Rania Mekary, Ph D, a researcher with the HSPH. That's a vital combination when it comes to blasting belly fat, which tends to increase with age and is linked to diabetes and heart disease. \"\" Weight training reverses exactly what happens as we age—losing muscle mass and gaining fat,\"\" she says. Plus, by increasing your metabolic rate in both the 48 hours after exercise and over the long term, weight training does a double whammy on belly fat, she says. And as women's bodies naturally have less muscle and more fat compared to men's, strength training may be even more important for keeping female bellies flat. Still, that doesn't mean you should skip the treadmill altogether, says Mekary, who notes that the study participants who combined aerobic and strength training enjoyed the best results."

Image: i Stock Study shows aerobics fights pounds, but weight training trims the waist By Amy Roeder HSPH Communications Date December 22, 2014Email Facebook Twitter Linked In Healthy men who did 20 minutes of daily weight training had less increase in age-related abdominal fat than men who spent the same amount of time doing aerobic activities, according to a new study by Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health (HSPH) researchers and colleagues. Combining weight training and aerobic activity led to the most optimal results. Aerobic exercise by itself was associated with less weight gain compared with weight training. The study appears online today in Obesity. “Because aging is associated with sarcopenia, the loss of skeletal muscle mass, relying on body weight alone is insufficient for the study of healthy aging,” said lead author Rania Mekary, a researcher in HSPH’s Department of Nutrition. “ Measuring waist circumference is a better indicator of healthy body composition among older adults. Engaging in resistance training or, ideally, combining it with aerobic exercise, could help older adults lessen abdominal fat while increasing or preserving muscle mass. ”Prior studies had been focused on a specific population (e.g., overweight people or type 2 diabetics), were of short duration, and had mixed results. The new study was long-term with a large sample of healthy men with a wide range of body mass indexes (BMI)."

The steely “House of Cards” character, played by Robin Wright, has always been a woman on top.

Gone are the crisp blouses, pencil skirts, dresses and even glasses she wore in the first season, when she was merely operating a nonprofit dedicated to (insert sinister laugh here) clean water. Now she’s the Second Lady of the United States — and she has the duds to prove it. “Her clothes are her armor,” explains Johanna Argan, the costume designer for the Netflix show’s second season. “ She is the modern-day Lady Macbeth. ”Underwood's demure Prada dress, worn at a press conference with her husband (Kevin Spacey), conveys innocence while making a not-so-innocent statement."

"text": "\"On June 12, 1987, President Reagan addressed the residents of Berlin with his back to the Berlin Wall. With these few words Reagan redirected his remarks further east toward the Soviet Union and its leader Mikhail Gorbachev. At the time of the speech, the Soviet Union was in the midst of glasnost, Gorbachev's plan to liberalize the Soviet economy. The two leaders had met less than two years earlier in Geneva, where witnesses say they struck up a personal relationship. It might have been just six words, but they were part of a long dialogue about communism, the Cold War and world peace that culminated in the fall of the Berlin Wall less than two and a half years later. A fight over words Reagan and Gorbachev met in Geneva in 1985In the months preceding Reagan's visit to Berlin a \"\"hell of a fight went on\"\" regarding the precise wording of Reagan's speech at the wall, according to Helmut Trotnow, the director of the Allied Museum in Berlin. Reagan's speech had been written by Peter Robinson, a young presidential speechwriter who spent several months in Berlin consulting officials on what should go into the 20-minute speech. \"\" There was a great amount of discussion at the US Secretary of State and National Security level about what should be included in the speech,\"\" Trotnow said in an interview with German news agency dpa. During the drafting process, there was an immense amount of debate over three months, with the document being passed back and forth. US National Security Advisor and future Secretary of State, Colin Powell was among those with objections to what Reagan was about to say. \"\""

This question might trigger the debate about the \"\"different schools\"\" on the origins of the Cold War. This is acceptable providing that candidates answer the demands of the question and evaluate the nature and significance of the policies of the US. Main policies to address are Containment - the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan. Other aspects which are not \"\"policies\"\" but could be taken into consideration are: Truman's hard-line approach toward the USSR; his omission at Potsdam of informing Stalin about the atomic bomb and the dropping of it at Hiroshima and Nagasaki; the German Question; the Berlin Airlift and NATO.26. Compare and contrast the role of two leaders, each chosen from a different region, in the development of the Cold War between 1953 and 1964. Candidates can compare/contrast the two leaders in terms of policies, personalities, achievements or failures."

Copied Select a Section 1 /0Abstract: \"\"The fall of the [Soviet] empire,\"\" former Czech president Vaclav Havel wrote, \"\"is an event on the same scale of historical importance as the fall of the Roman Empire.\"\" It is true that Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev repudiated the Brezhnev Doctrine--that the Soviet Union will use force if necessary to ensure that a socialist state remains socialist--and in so doing undercut the Communist leaders and regimes of Eastern and Central Europe in the critical year of 1989. But why did Gorbachev abandon the Brezhnev Doctrine? One Western leader above all others forced the Soviets to give up the Brezhnev Doctrine and abandon the arms race, brought down the Berlin Wall, and ended the Cold War at the bargaining table and not on the battlefield: President Ronald Reagan. Soviet Communism, the dark tyranny that controlled nearly 40 nations and was responsible for the deaths of an estimated 100 million victims during the 20th century, suddenly collapsed 20 years ago without a shot being fired. In just two years--from 1989 to 1901--the Berlin Wall fell, the Soviet Union disintegrated, and Marxism- Leninism was dumped unceremoniously on the ash heap of history. There was dancing in the street and champagne toasts on top of the Brandenburg Gate. And then most of the world got on with living without asking: Why did Communism collapse so quickly? Why did a totalitarian system that appeared to be so militarily and economically strong disappear almost overnight?"

"text": "Ronald Reagan’s Childhood and Education Ronald Wilson Reagan was born on February 6, 1911, in Tampico, Illinois, to Edward “Jack” Reagan (1883-1941), a shoe salesman, and Nelle Wilson Reagan (1883-1962). The family, which included older son Neil Reagan (1908-1996), resided in an apartment that lacked indoor plumbing and running water and was located along the small town’s main street. Reagan’s father nicknamed him Dutch as a baby, saying he resembled “a fat little Dutchman. ”Did You Know? Among the items on display at Ronald Reagan's presidential library in California is a 6,000-pound graffiti-covered section of the Berlin Wall, given to him by the people of Berlin. During Reagan’s early childhood, his family lived in a series of Illinois towns as his father switched sales jobs, then settled in Dixon, Illinois, in 1920. In 1928, Reagan graduated from Dixon High School, where he was an athlete and student body president and performed in school plays. During summer vacations, he worked as a lifeguard in Dixon. Reagan went on to attend Eureka College in Illinois, where he played football, ran track, captained the swim team, served as student council president and acted in school productions. After graduating in 1932, he found work as a radio sports announcer in Iowa."

"text": "\"To be amused at what you read — that is the great spring of quotation. — Charles Edward Montague While researching the origin of the assertion, “It’s the economy, stupid*” for a paper I was writing on the influences on election outcomes, I came across a Wikiped ia entry devoted to well-known political catchphrases. It was organized by country, and I paid most attention to the United States because I am (relatively) familiar with US political history. I was able to identify who first introduced almost all of the phrases, maybe because I do know something about US politics but more probably because these phrases are memorable and have become part of the common culture. There are also well-known catchphrases from movies (“Go ahead, make my day”) and advertising (“Sorry, Charlie”). Many others come from popular songs (“All you need is love ”). Sometimes catchphrases even jump domains, like Clara Peller’s “Where’s the beef?” which was originally used in an ad for Wendy’s hamburgers and later by Walter Mondale in his 1984 primary campaign against Gary Hart. By definition, a catchphrase is a frequently-repeated expression that spreads to the common culture through the media and by word of mouth. The term catchphrase first appeared in common parlance around 1850 and was used to described words or phrases that got “caught” in one’s mind."

The Berlin Wall The TIME 100Email Print Share Reprints Follow @TIMEThe four most famous words of Ronald Reagan's Presidency almost were never uttered. Twenty years ago, on the morning of June 12, 1987, Reagan arrived in Berlin, on the occasion of the city's 750th birthday. He was scheduled to speak on the Western side of the Brandenburg Gate, for years the city's symbolic dividing line. His speechwriters had drafted an address intended as much for Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, with whom Reagan was forging a close relationship, as for the 20,000 people who gathered to hear him speak. In the speech, Reagan would call on Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall, but that language was opposed strongly by Reagan's National Security Council and the State Department, who feared it would be used by hard-liners in the Kremlin to discredit Gorbachev. When the President's entourage arrived in Berlin, Reagan's team was still arguing over the final wording. State and NSC submitted yet another draft of the speech. But in the limousine ride to the Wall, Reagan told his deputy chief of staff, Kenneth Duberstein, that he intended to issue the fateful challenge to Gorbachev. \"\" It's the right thing to do,\"\" he said."

Gorbachev was a revolutionary leader for the USSR, as he was the first to promote liberalization of the political landscape ( Glasnost) and capitalist elements into the economy ( Perestroika ); prior to this, the USSR had been strictly prohibiting liberal reform and maintained an inefficient centralized economy. The USSR, despite facing massive economic difficulties, was involved in a costly arms race with the United States under President Ronald Reagan. Regardless, the USSR began to crumble as liberal reforms proved difficult to handle and capitalist changes to the centralized economy were badly transitioned and caused major problems. The Cold War came to an end when the last war of Soviet occupation ended in Afghanistan, the Berlin Wall came down in Germany, and a series of mostly peaceful revolutions swept the Soviet Bloc states of eastern Europe in 1989.

"text": "Politics What Did Reagan Have to do With Ending Communism?ffellowgard | Monday Nov 9, 2009 3:01 AMShare on Facebook Commemorating the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library hosted a panel discussion to delve into one of the most controversial topics in the Cold War: what, if anything, did the 40th president have to do with ending communism? While others have doubted the scale of Reagan’s contribution, even doubting if it existed, there was no doubt where the panelists stood. For those who had witnessed it, Ronald Reagan was the critical factor in winning the Cold War. The panels were comprised of policy experts and journalists, leaders of Eastern European countries who witnessed events first hand and those who were with Reagan as he made the crucial decisions, which they said led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. In the sunlit hall of the Air Force One Pavilion, they remembered their individual encounters with Reagan and how they shaped his understanding of the world. Richard Allen, the chief foreign policy advisor to Ronald Reagan, told the story of how he first met Ronald Reagan about 10 days after Jimmy Carter had been inaugurated. He was asking the former governor for help fundraising on his bid to become the next governor of New Jersey, and had flown out to California to meet him for the first time. As Mr. Allen recounts it, Reagan immediately agreed to do fundraisers, and then asked him if he wanted to talk politics. “ I felt that I was in the presence of one of the keenest analysts of world affairs of any that I had been with,” he said at the conference, having also worked with Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger as part of the National Security Council. “ He didn’t know the details, the minutia, but the basic infrastructure was all in place.”"

"text": "Ronald Reagan Time Magazine: April 13, 1998Clare Boothe Luce famously said that each President is remembered for a sentence: “He freed the slaves”; “He made the Louisiana Purchase.” You have to figure out your sentence, she used to tell John Kennedy, who would nod thoughtfully and then grouse when she left. Ronald Reagan knew, going in, the sentence he wanted, and he got it. He guided the American victory in the cold war. Under his leadership, a conflict that had absorbed a half-century of Western blood and treasure was ended—and the good guys finally won. It is good to think of how he did it, because the gifts he brought to resolving the conflict reflected very much who he was as a man. He began with a common-sense conviction that the Soviets were not a people to be contained but a system to be defeated. This put him at odds with the long-held view of the foreign-policy elites in the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s, but Reagan had an old-fashioned sense that Americans could do any good thing if God blessed the effort. Removing expansionary communism from the world stage was a right and good thing, and why would God not smile upon it? He was a historical romantic, his biographer Edmund Morris says, and that’s about right."

"text": "25 years on: How the fall of the Berlin Wall changed the world Twenty-five consequences of the earth-shaking events of a quarter century ago November 9, 2014 4:45AM ETby Tony Karon @tonykaron, Tom Kutsch @tomkutsch,Christopher Shay & Massoud Hayoun @mhayoun Google+The fall of the Berlin Wall 25 years ago not only reunited Germany and foretold the coming collapse of the Soviet Union; it signaled a profound change in global affairs. The Cold War that followed World War II created a bipolar world, in which relations between countries and contests for state power everywhere were subsumed by the binary conflict of a U. S.-led West versus a Soviet-dominated East. Even though the U. S. S. R.’s final collapse came two years later, the fall of the wall that separated West from East in Berlin more than any other single moment symbolizes the end of the Cold War. Excitable politicians and pundits may have rushed to proclaim a new cold war as a result of the current standoff in Ukraine, but the fact that the U. S. and Russia are once again engaged in strategic rivalry is simply old-fashioned geopolitics: There’s no serious argument to be made that all the world’s major conflicts today can be framed as an epic struggle between Washington and Moscow, and there’s no longer much of an ideological pretense in contemporary strategic alliances. ( Whatever else unites those fighting the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, for example, it’s certainly not a shared vision of democracy and freedom. ) Key players in most of the world’s major conflicts today make their strategic decisions independently of the U. S. and Russia. And unlike in the Cold War era, most of the world today is integrated into a single global economy, in which the single largest player will soon be China. Latin America today is largely independent of the once jealously enforced primacy of the United States; European influence over African politics has waned. Asia’s geopolitics are far more complex than they are binary, but China — independent of both Washington and Moscow for most of the Cold War — is emerging as the dominant power in the region. The course of Middle Eastern politics is increasingly set by local midlevel powers rather than by distant great powers; Western Europe’s responses to the Ukraine crisis indicate that the Cold War tradition of U. S. leadership no longer applies."

Historians do not fully agree on the dates, but 1947–91 is common. The term \"\"cold\"\" is used because there was no large-scale fighting directly between the two sides, although there were major regional wars, known as proxy wars, supported by the two sides. The Cold War split the temporary wartime alliance against Nazi Germany, leaving the USSR and the US as two superpowers with profound economic and political differences: the former being a single-party Marxist–Leninist state operating a planned economy and controlled press and owning exclusively the right to establish and govern communities, and the latter being a capitalist state with generally free elections and press, which also granted freedom of expression and freedom of association to its citizens. A self-proclaimed neutral bloc arose with the Non-Aligned Movement founded by Egypt, India, Indonesia and Yugoslavia; this faction rejected association with either the US-led West or the Soviet-led East. The two superpowers never engaged directly in full-scale armed combat, but they were heavily armed in preparation for a possible all-out nuclear world war."

Two years later, deliriously happy East and West Germans did break down the infamous barrier between East and West Berlin. Reagan’s challenge came during a visit to West Berlin. With the Berlin Wall as a backdrop, Reagan declared, “There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace.” He then called upon his Soviet counterpart: “Secretary General Gorbachev, if you seek peace–if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe–if you seek liberalization: come here, to this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.” Addressing the West Berlin crowd, Reagan observed, “Standing before the Brandenburg Gate, every man is a German, separated from his fellow men. Every man is a Berliner, forced to look upon a scar.” Reagan then went on to ask Gorbachev to undertake serious arms reduction talks with the United States."

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."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis was described as brinkmanship Brinkmanship (also brinksmanship) is the practice of trying to achieve an advantageous outcome by pushing dangerous events to the brink of active conflict. It occurs in international politics, foreign policy, labour relations, and (in contemporary settings) military strategy involving the threat of nuclear weapons, and high-stakes litigation. This maneuver of pushing a situation with the opponent to the brink succeeds by forcing the opponent to back down and make concessions. This might be achieved through diplomatic maneuvers by creating the impression that one is willing to use extreme methods rather than concede. During the Cold War, the threat of nuclear force was often used as such an escalating measure.

The word was probably coined by Adlai Stevenson in his criticism of the philosophy described as \"\"going to the brink\"\" in an interview with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles under the Eisenhower administration, during the Cold War. [ 1] In an article written in Life Magazine, John Foster Dulles then defined his policy of brinkmanship as \"\"The ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art.\"\" [ 2] [3] During the Cold War, this was used as a policy by the United States to coerce the Soviet Union into backing down militarily. Eventually, the threats involved might become so huge as to be unmanageable at which point both sides are likely to back down."

"text": "\"Francesco Redi Lived 1626 – 1697. Francesco Redi’s was an innovative scientist, physician, and poet. His scientific work resulted in a number of significant milestones: he showed that flies breed and lay eggs and do not, as was popularly believed, spontaneously generate; his microscopic examination of parasites marked the founding of modern parasitology; and in studying chemical treatments to kill parasites, he devised and performed the first controlled experiments in scientific history. Advertisements Beginnings Francesco Redi was born on February 18, 1626 in the city of Arezzo in Tuscany, Italy. Francesco’s father was Gregorio Redi, an eminent physician of noble birth, and his mother was Cecilia de Ghinci. Francesco was educated from an early age in a Jesuit school in the city of Florence about 50 miles (80 km) from his hometown. His education placed special emphasis on theology and “polite literature” – literature the Jesuits found acceptable. Francesco would have learned nothing officially about the momentous scientific work of his fellow Tuscan, Galileo Galilei. Just a few miles from Francesco’s school, Galileo was nearing the end of a remarkable life. His groundbreaking work had incurred the wrath of the Catholic Church, which prohibited his writings."

Datsun's original production run began in 1931. From 1958 to 1986, only vehicles exported by Nissan were identified as Datsun. By 1986 Nissan had phased out the Datsun name, but re-launched it in June 2013 as the brand for low-cost vehicles manufactured for emerging markets. In 1931, Dat Motorcar Co. chose to name its new small car \"\"Datson\"\", a name which indicated the new car's smaller size when compared to the DAT's larger vehicle already in production. When Nissan took control of DAT in 1934, the name \"\"Datson\"\" was changed to \"\"Datsun\"\", because \"\"son\"\" also means \"\"loss\"\" ( 損son) in Japanese and also to honour the sun depicted in the national flag – thus the name Datsun: Dattosan ( ダットサン Dattosan).

There were actually two! Galileo was one. Francesco Redi was the other. Francesco Redi is famous for his demonstration of the use of controlled experiments and his challenge to the theory of spontaneous generation. Controlled Experiments When a scientist designs an experiment it is important to eliminate as many unknowns as possible. For instance, if one were trying to assess the health effects of a drug on humans, there are many factors which may affect health..simply counting how many of the patients get better or worse when given the drug is not good enough. We want to know how many got better or worse specifically from the drug. One solution might be to introduce a control to compare the drug-based tests against some standard case. In these drug-tests one group is commonly given the drug and another group, the control group, is given a placebo (commonly a sugar-pill with no known health effects)."

But spontaneous generation is an essential part of the theory of evolution. Despite all the efforts of evolutionary scientists, not one observable case of spontaneous generation has ever been found.

Hans Jansen Hans Jansen developed the first compound microscope along with Zacharias Jansen that allowed others magnify cells and other specimens even more. The microscope was made by placing two convex lenses inside of a tube. Hans’ invention of the microscope allowed other scientists to study microorganisms up close. By seeing these organisms more magnified and clearer, allowed scientists to discover even more about cells, what cells make up, and where cells came from which eventually helped to disprove the theory of spontaneous generation. Zacharias Jansen Zacharias Jansen helped Hans Jansen to develop the first compound microscope that had two convex lenses within a tube. Zacharias Jansen and Hans Jansen’s invention of the compound microscope allowed a whole new way for scientists to look at cells and learn about where cells really come from helped lead to the rejection of spontaneous generation. Jean Baptiste van Helmont Jean Baptiste van Helmont was one of the first people to realize that many reactions produce substances, and developed the word gas. Jean recognized other gases besides air that include carbon dioxide, methane, and carbon monoxide."

There are a number of libraries and blog posts describing how to implement a DLM (Distributed Lock Manager) with Redis, but every library uses a different approach, and many use a simple approach with lower guarantees compared to what can be achieved with slightly more complex designs. This page is an attempt to provide a more canonical algorithm to implement distributed locks with Redis. We propose an algorithm, called Redlock , which implements a DLM which we believe to be safer than the vanilla single instance approach. We hope that the community will analyze it, provide feedback, and use it as a starting point for the implementations or more complex or alternative designs. Implementations Before describing the algorithm, here are a few links to implementations already available that can be used for reference. Redlock-rb (Ruby implementation). There is also a fork of Redlock-rb that adds a gem for easy distribution and perhaps more. Redlock-py (Python implementation). Aioredlock (Asyncio Python implementation)."

Retinol plays a role both as an antioxidant and as a wrinkle reducer in many anti aging skin care products and wrinkle creams. What is retinol? Retinol is a form of the antioxidant Vitamin A. Retinol is the form of vitamin A most easily absorbed by the body. Retinol is fat soluble and is widely found in nature. Beta carotene is a more well-known form of vitamin A, which is found in fruit and vegetable sources. Other forms of vitamin A are retinyl palmitate and retinal. Inside the skin cells, retinol is converted into retinoic acid (the active ingredient in Retin-A) which activates the metabolism of the skin cells."

Vitamin A is involved in immune function, vision, reproduction, and cellular communication [ 1, 4, 5 ]. Vitamin A is critical for vision as an essential component of rhodopsin, a protein that absorbs light in the retinal receptors, and because it supports the normal differentiation and functioning of the conjunctival membranes and cornea [ 2-4 ]. Vitamin A also supports cell growth and differentiation, playing a critical role in the normal formation and maintenance of the heart, lungs, kidneys, and other organs [ 2 ]. Two forms of vitamin A are available in the human diet: preformed vitamin A (retinol and its esterified form, retinyl ester) and provitamin A carotenoids [ 1-5 ]. Preformed vitamin A is found in foods from animal sources, including dairy products, fish, and meat (especially liver). By far the most important provitamin A carotenoid is beta-carotene; other provitamin A carotenoids are alpha-carotene and beta-cryptoxanthin. The body converts these plant pigments into vitamin A. Both provitamin A and preformed vitamin A must be metabolized intracellularly to retinal and retinoic acid, the active forms of vitamin A, to support the vitamin’s important biological functions [ 2, 3 ]. Other carotenoids found in food, such as lycopene, lutein, and zeaxanthin, are not converted into vitamin A. The various forms of vitamin A are solubilized into micelles in the intestinal lumen and absorbed by duodenal mucosal cells [ 5 ]."

"text": "\"Retinol and Retinyl Palmitate Overview Safety Resources What Is It? Retinol is the primary naturally occurring form of vitamin A. It is a pale yellow crystalline material or a thick liquid. Retinyl palmitate is the ester of retinol and palmitic acid and is a yellow to yellow-red solid or oily substance. In cosmetics and personal care products, these ingredients are used primarily in the formulation of hair, facial makeup and skin care products. When used in sunscreens, it is not an active drug ingredient, but rather a cosmetic ingredient that acts as an antioxidant helping to protect the skin from the signs of premature aging caused by exposure to the sun. Why is it used in cosmetics and personal care products? Retinol and retinyl palmitate (RP) enhance the appearance of dry or damaged skin by reducing flaking and restoring suppleness. RP is sometimes added to sunscreen products as an antioxidant that helps reduce the signs of skin aging caused by exposure to sunlight. It is the major storage form of vitamin A found naturally in our skin. It should be noted that it is not an FDA-approved sunscreen active ingredient and does not replace the need for an approved sunscreen."

"text": "Vitamin AProperties and Metabolism Vitamin A itself does not occur in plant products, but its precursors, carotenes, do occur in several forms. These compounds (carotenoids) are commonly referred to as provitamin A because the body can transform them into active vitamin A. The combined potency in a feed, represented by its vitamin A and carotene content, is referred to as its vitamin A value. Vitamin A occurs in three forms: retinol, retinal, and retinoic acid. Retinol is the alcohol form of vitamin A. Replacement of the alcohol group (-OH) by an aldehyde group (-CHO) yields retinal, and replacement by an acid group (-COOH) gives retinoic acid. Vitamin A products for feed use include the acetate, propionate and palmitate esters. Vitamin A alcohol (retinol) is a nearly colorless, fat-soluble, long-chain, unsaturated compound with five bonds (Illus. 2-1). Since it contains double bonds, vitamin A can exist in different isomeric forms. Vitamin A and its precursors, carotenoids, are rapidly destroyed by oxygen, heat, light and acids. Presence of moisture and trace minerals reduces vitamin A activity in feeds (Olson, 1984)."

Share Tweet Pin +1 Share Stumble Pocket Buffer Email Retinoids can work wonders to fight the signs of skin aging. I’ve used them for years in my dermatology practice. The two forms of retinoids that I use most often are prescription retinoic acid (called tretinoin, which is found in Retin-A and Renova) and retinol. Retinol products are non-prescription, so you don’t need a trip to the doctor to add retinol to your anti-aging skin care routine. Are you wondering why you should add retinol to your skin care routine and what can retinol do for your skin? Here’s what we know. Retinol FAQs Retinol is vitamin A. It is a member of the retinoid family that includes prescription tretinoin (aka retinoic acid as in Retin-A and Renova). Retinoids are vitamin A-related agents. Retinol (non-prescription all-trans-retinol) is converted in the skin to retinoic acid (aka tretinoin as in Retin-A and Renova). Tretinoin has the proven ability to create a layer of new collagen in the skin."

When I was a child, I remember my aunt insisting to my mother that she was sure the day would come when food would be a thing of the past, and vitamin tablets a thing of the future. We children were then taking cod liver oil every morning with our orange juice, in my mother’s hope that its vitamin A would make us strong and free of disease. “ Those were the days,” said Archie Bunker. Now, here we are 50 years later and, although most of us still rely on food, more than one-half of us seem to be taking one type of vitamin or another. Many years have passed and many ideas have come and gone their way, but vitamins seem to be a constant–constantly growing in importance, that is. Why are these nutrients so established in our minds, so impervious to change? What are these things? Are they, more or less, mostly the same?"

Your aesthetician will most likely remove your dead skin cells, scrub and exfoliate your skin, clear clogged pores, and apply a treatment or moisturizer to smooth out the appearance of fine lines and apply other treatments targeted to your skin type. You'll also receive a facial massage that both relaxes the facial muscles and increases blood flow. In short, a facial is very effective at bringing out your skin's natural beauty and glow. After a facial treatment, your face will be as supple as a baby's and as delicate as rose petals. Now the question is: How do you keep it that way? Was this helpful? Yes| No| I need help After a deep cleansing facial treatment, the skin temporarily becomes very sensitive to touch, chemicals and the sun.

"text": "Which Foods Contain Retinoic Acid?by JESSICA BRUSO Oct. 03, 2017Any vitamin A-rich food can provide you with some retinoic acid. Your body can turn the vitamin A-precursor beta-carotene found in fruits and vegetables into retinol, the form of vitamin A found in animal foods. Your system can then break down the vitamin to form retinoic acid. Getting the recommended 700 micrograms per day for women or 900 micrograms per day for men of vitamin A is essential for proper vision and immune function. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Beef and Lamb Beef, veal and lamb lungs, kidneys and liver are among the foods with the highest retinol and vitamin A content. For example, a 3-ounce serving of lamb liver provides 6,610 micrograms of retinol, or 22,098 international units of vitamin A, and a 2.4-ounce serving of beef liver has 6,411 micrograms of retinol, or 21,566 international units of vitamin A. Servings of beef, veal and lamb meat otherwise provide only trace amounts of vitamin A. Pork and Poultry Pork and poultry products provide only small amounts of retinol, unless you eat the livers, kidneys or giblets of these animals. A cup of diced chicken giblets provides 5,194 micrograms of retinol, or 17,297 international units of vitamin A, and a 3-ounce serving of pork liver has 4,594 micrograms of retinol, or 15,297 international units of vitamin A. A 3-ounce serving of stewed chicken only provides 33 micrograms of retinol, and 3 ounces of 85-percent-lean ground turkey have just 30 micrograms. Fish and Seafood You can also get your daily dose of retinol from fish and seafood. Among the better sources are bluefin tuna, with 643 micrograms of retinol, or 2,142 international units of vitamin A per 3-ounce serving, and king mackerel, with 214 micrograms of retinol, or 713 international units of vitamin A per serving. Many other types of fish and seafood also provide vitamin A, but in smaller amounts."

That’s how you may feel about a little thing called retinol, which is called out in practically every skincare product on the market right now. Even though we’re used to hearing a lot about it, we need to know how much is fact and how much is marketing double-speak. So what does retinol really do? We caught up with an expert to break it all down—what it does, how it works, the results you can expect, and much, much more. Consider this your ultimate anti-aging You might be talking about two different things. Retinols, retinoids, Retin-A—what is the deal!? If you’re confused by these similar-sounding terms, we get you. Dermatologist Dr. Dennis Gross tells us that retinoids are the category name of these vitamin A derivatives, but that retinol and retinoids vary in their chemical structure."

"text": "\"How to Apply a \"\"Pea-Sized\"\" Amount Learn how to apply the tiniest amount of product evenly over your skin | Comments (8)Almost every topical prescription product (especially retinoids) will instruct you to apply a pea-sized amount. I know what you're thinking. A pea–sized amount? Is that enough to cover my whole face? Is that even enough for the product to work? The answer is yes, yes, and yes. Applying a pea-sized amount will ensure that you have a thin layer of product spread on your skin, but not so much that it will cause irritation. Follow these tips to learn the best way to apply a pea-sized dollop of a treatment product to your skin: Put a blob of product the size of a pea on your index finger. Lightly dot the product evenly around your face. I like to put three tiny dots on my forehead, three on each of my cheeks, one on my chin, and one on my nose."

"text": "\"A Closer Look at Retinyl Palmitate :: Vitamin AJune 30, 2010 By Kayla Fioravanti 2 Comments What is retinyl palmitate? The simple answer is that retyinyl palmitate is Vitamin A. It is the ester of retinol (vitamin A) that is combined with palmitic acid, which is a saturated fatty acid that is a major component of palm oil. Retinyl palmitate is easily absorbed by the skin and once it is there is converted into retinol. It is a yellow to yellow-red solid or oily substance. What do experts say about retinyl palmitate in skin care? The CIR Expert Panel evaluated scientific data and concluded that Retinol and Retinyl Palmitate were safe as cosmetic ingredients. In 2005, the CIR Expert Panel considered available new data on Retinol and Retinyl Palmitate and reaffirmed their conclusion. CIR Review: The CIR Expert Panel noted that vitamin A is an essential nutrient with a Recommended Daily Allowance orally that varies for different groups: 5000 and 4000 International Units (IU) daily for male and female adults, respectively; lesser amounts for infants and children; and 5000 and 6000 IU daily for pregnant and lactating women, respectively. The CIR Expert Panel reviewed the safety data on Retinol and Retinyl Palmitate and concluded that these ingredients were not mutagenic or carcinogenic. Cosmetics and personal care products containing 0.1-1% of these ingredients were at most slightly irritating."

"text": "What’s The Difference Between Retinol and Retinoids? By Lela Lankerani, MD • December 8, 2014 • 28 Comments Share 18 Tweet +1 1 Pin 12During the natural aging process the skin begins to lose its elasticity, resulting in the development of fine lines, wrinkles, and rough feeling skin. The accumulation of sun exposure over the years tends to dramatically accelerate and compound this effect. Two products that lend themselves to preventing and reversing the signs of aging are Retinol and Retinoids. Retin based skincare products are worth understanding because of their proven ability to reduce wrinkles, increase blood flow in skin, fight acne, increase cellular turnover, boost collagen and even skin tone. What are Retinoids? Retinoids are chemical compounds that are related to vitamin A. Retinoids work by initiating the skin to rapidly turn over cells, killing old cells in order to boost new cell growth. They also stimulate collagen production and thicken deeper layers of the skin, which is the source of wrinkles. Finally, retinoids correct pigmentation related issues by sloughing off brown spots and curbing melanin development. The type of retinoid and the percentage strength that is best for you depends on several factors: Skin type Skin condition Your age Reasons for use (some retinoids are better than others for acne or anti- aging)All of these factors combine in determining what your skin needs and can tolerate."

"text": "The Truth About Vitamin A Safety in Prenatal Vitaminstweet email 38By: Dr. Dean and Stephanie Raffelock August 22, 2010About Dr. Dean and Stephanie By Dr. Dean Raffelock The most common question that pregnant women ask me goes something like this: “My obstetrician says that it is very dangerous for me to take vitamin A while I am pregnant. As an expert in nutrition, what is your opinion?”No doubt, there is a lot of fear and confusion on this topic. So let’s get right down to the truth of the matter. As usual, the truth is to be found in the middle of two opposite points of view. One point of view is that pregnant women should avoid taking any vitamin A. The other point of view is that pregnant women do not need to be concerned at all with their vitamin A consumption, because the risks are minimal. So let’s clarify the issue so you can make the most informed choice for yourself and your baby: In 1995, the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine published a study that showed strong evidence that approximately 1.7 percent of pregnant women in the U. S. consuming greater than 10,000 International Units (IUs) of vitamin A (retinol) per day during the first 7 weeks of their pregnancy gave birth to children afflicted with some form of birth defect. This was one out of every 57 women. This created a wave of fear in obstetricians and their pregnant patients that continues to this day. The good news about this study is that it alerted doctors to strongly caution their pregnant patients that consuming over 10,000 IUs of vitamin A per day for the first 7 weeks of pregnancy can be risky. To my thinking, this should also hold true for women of childbearing age who are actively trying to become pregnant."

"text": "The Truth About Using Retinol with AHA, BHA, and Vitamin CNovember 16, 2012 at 6:24pm Is Using a Retinol Product with an AHA or BHA Exfoliant a Problem? The claim of AHA and BHA exfoliants “deactivating” or reducing the effectiveness of retinol (vitamin A) is one we’re asked about often. As always, we turn to the research to see what it states and bring you the facts so you can make the best decision. It turns out the issue of retinol not working with AHA or BHA exfoliants involves a misunderstanding of how skin-care ingredients work together and how each affects the structure of skin. Most of this information isn’t well known unless you work for a cosmetic company or have access to formulators and ingredient chemists, which the Paula’s Choice Research Team does!The confusion around using retinol with BHA or AHA developed from the concern of the exfoliant’s acidity disrupting retinol’s ability to work to its anti-aging magic. Another piece of misinformation is that because AHA or BHA affects the p H of skin, both make your skin intolerant to retinol’s ability to work. Of course, like any good skin-care rumor if you hear or read it often enough it becomes true, which explains why we’ve been asked about this with alarming frequency. Before we clear up the confusion over this issue, let’s state one fact: No research anywhere (we repeat, anywhere) demonstrates or concludes AHA or BHA exfoliants deactivate cosmetic retinol. Information to the contrary is a result of personal assumptions of writers that are unsupported by evidence. Every time we’ve seen these recommendations about not using retinol with AHA or BHA exfoliants, the comment is never supported by research demonstrating incompatibility—because, as mentioned, there’s none to confirm that this tip is, in fact, true."

By his father he was a distant relative of the Earls of Grantham and he became the heir of the title due the heir's death. Matthew then met his third-cousin, once removed, Robert Crawley, 7th Earl of Grantham , and moved to Downton a few months after where he met and quickly fell in love with Robert's eldest daughter, Mary. He and Lady Mary Crawley entered a tumultuous eight-year relationship ending with Matthew's second proposal in early January 1920. Mary finally accepted, five and a half years after the first. They were married in May 1920 and lived together in Downton Abbey . Matthew became co-owner of the estate following the Crawleys' financial problems arising from bad investments, when Matthew was able to come to the rescue investing the money inherited from his late fiancée's father to Downton. Mary soon became pregnant and gave birth in September 1921 to their son, George Crawley. Unfortunately, Matthew was killed shortly afterwards in a car accident after a visit to his wife and newborn son at the hospital, making George the heir of the title, earldom, estate, and fortune."

As Estonians working between their native country and the UK, they had personal experience of the \"\"pain of international money transfer\"\" [6] due to bank charges on the amounts they needed to convert from euros to pounds and vice versa. In the words of Hinrikus, \"\"I was losing five per cent of the money each time I moved it. At the same time my co-founder Kristo Käärmann (also from Estonia) was starting to get paid in the UK and was losing a lot of money transferring cash back home to pay for a mortgage there\"\". [ 7] [8]It inspired them to make a private arrangement, with Hinrikus – who was paid in euros – putting this currency directly into Käärmann's Estonian account so he could pay his mortgage without having to convert pounds to euros, while Käärmann returned the favour by putting pounds into Hinrikus' UK account. [ 9] This arrangement led them to start developing a crowdsourced currency exchange service to offer a cheaper alternative to established institutions.

Branson, the owner of Virgin group, started his life as an entrepreneur at very early age of 16. He made his fortune very quickly and made his first million by the age of 25. But all this didn't came on a silver platter for him, he was born into a typical English middle-class family who had to be cost-conscious. Richard Branson net worth came from his business portfolio including Virgin Megastores, Virgin Airways, Virgin Mobile, and more recent Virgin Galactic. His father was a struggling barrister and was not quite earning enough to match outgoings, so his mother was always finding things to make or sell to pay for holidays. They would turn off the light bulbs when the children went to bed and even today, \"\"\"\"struggling through dark corridors to find the loo\"\"\"\" is a vivid childhood memory for Richard. He drives a Range Rover, and even that is given to him each year as thanks for some nice things he said about the brand after surviving an accident in one. It's rather a irony that Branson is known for his lifestyle despite his frugal approach. He attributes it to fact that its because all his expenditures are actually investments and instead of costing him maintenance they rather earns for him."

Photograph: David Mcnew/Reuters Sir Richard Branson will receive a cash windfall of about £550m from the sale of Virgin America, the US budget airline the British billionaire launched in 2007, to Alaska Air. The Seattle-based airline said it agreed to pay $57 (£40) a share, or $2.6bn, in cash for Virgin America, which flies to 21 destinations within the US and Mexico. Including Virgin America’s debt and aircraft operating leases, the deal is valued at $4bn. Shares in Virgin America soared last month after reports that the company was in sale talks. Branson’s Virgin Group owns about 30% after floating the business on the stock market in 2014 at $23 a share, valuing it at about $1.2bn. The takeover by Alaska Air means Branson’s stake has more than doubled in value in the year-and-a-half since Virgin America sold shares to the public. The airline has attempted to stand out from established US competitors with typical Branson touches, including purple mood lighting in flight cabins and planes with names such as Virgin & Tonic and Jefferson Airplane. It is the the ninth biggest US airline by passenger numbers, with about 1.5% of domestic flight capacity compared with 5% for Alaska Air. Alaska Air planes."

The series, starring Academy Award winning actress Dame Maggie Smith ( Gosford Park; The Harry Potter series; Sister Act / Sister Act 2; The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie ), is created and written by Julian Fellowes, who also wrote Gosford Park .

"text": "October 25, 2014 by Tom Oakley Virgin: Unrelated diversification If somebody was to ask what industry Virgin operates in primarily, the first thought that comes to mind would inevitably vary between each of us. This is due to the Virgin Group partaking in what’s known as ‘unrelated diversification’ – the fifth strategy in Ansoff’s Matrix. Unrelated diversification involves entering an entirely new industry that lacks any important similarities with the firm’s existing industry or industries, and is often accomplished through a merger or acquisition. In the case of Virgin, unrelated diversification has certainly been a successful strategy in terms of maximising profitability. Looking back to 1970s and the start of its operations as a record mail order company and record store soon after, given the rapidly changing nature of the music industry since, it is possible that the company would no longer exist if it hadn’t innovated in this way. With a total of 35 subsidiary companies within the Virgin Group globally, within the UK today’s breadwinners look very different to the 1970s, helping the Virgin Group to a total revenue of £15 billion in 2012: The key to successful unrelated diversification is identifying an industry with strong profit potential, where the firm has internal competences that helps to gain a competitive advantage. Virgin Atlantic’s market entry in the 1980s in a good example of this at a time when great customer service was a rare quality in the airline industry, which was instead plagued by cancelled flights, delays and lost baggage. Virgin’s internal competence of providing an excellent customer experience throughout its existing family of companies offered an advantage that would be hard for competitor airlines to replicate – and therefore potential to charge a price premium. However, the ‘unrelated diversification’ strategy is far from full proof and there are numerous examples in which it has failed for Virgin. Perhaps the most high profile case is the short rise and rapid fall of Virgin Cola in the mid-1990s – following an ambitious, yet unsuccessful plan to compete with Coca-Cola and Pepsi."

"text": "\"Answer by Chriscapa Confidence votes 10Does anyone believe that Nixon was NOT trying illegally to protect guilty members in his administration, who afterall were doing his bidding and went to jail for it, whether or not he personally told them to bug the Democratic Reelection Committee. And there is, of course, the famous 'smoking gun' tape, which convinced members of his own party that he should be impeached. If he hadn't resigned, he'd have been convicted and gone to jail. So, WHO believes he was innocent? Perhaps the same people who believe the earth is 6,000 years old, i.e. true believers! For another point of view... 1. In 1964 president Johnson asked Congress permission for war against North Vietnam and he got it. Many people think that Nixon should have asked the same every time he extended the war. But in the mean time many congresmen and senators had changed their minds about this never ending war and the answer could have been negative. It was difficult for Nixon however to ask permission because then the ennemy would have known about his plans beforehand."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For the British strategy in the American Revolutionary War, see Southern theater of the American Revolutionary War. The Southern United States as defined by the Census Bureau In American politics, the Southern strategy was a Republican Party electoral strategy to increase political support among white voters in the South by appealing to racism against African Americans. [ 1] [2] [3] As the civil rights movement and dismantling of Jim Crow laws in the 1950s and 1960s visibly deepened existing racial tensions in much of the Southern United States, Republican politicians such as presidential candidate Richard Nixon and Senator Barry Goldwater developed strategies that successfully contributed to the political realignment of many white, conservative voters in the South that had traditionally supported the Democratic Party to the Republican Party. [ 4] It also helped push the Republican Party much more to the right. [ 4]In academia, the \"\"Southern strategy\"\" refers primarily to \"\"top down\"\" narratives of the political realignment of the South which suggest that Republican leaders consciously appealed to many white Southerners' racial resentments in order to gain their support. [ 5] This top-down narrative of the southern strategy is generally believed to be the primary force that transformed southern politics following the civil rights era. [ 6] [7] This view has been questioned by historians such as Matthew Lassiter, Kevin M. Kruse and Joseph Crespino, who have presented an alternative, \"\"bottom up\"\" narrative, which Lassiter has called the \"\"suburban strategy\"\". This narrative recognizes the centrality of racial backlash to the political realignment of the South, [8] but suggests that this backlash took the form of a defense of de facto segregation in the suburbs rather than overt resistance to racial integration and that the story of this backlash is a national rather than a strictly Southern one. [ 9] [10] [11] [12]The perception that the Republican Party had served as the \"\"vehicle of white supremacy in the South\"\", particularly during the Goldwater campaign and the presidential elections of 1968 and 1972, made it difficult for the Republican Party to win the support of black voters in the South in later years. [ 4] In 2005, Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman formally apologized to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), a national civil rights organization, for exploiting racial polarization to win elections and ignoring the black vote.

Nixon at his desk in the Oval Office, where a secret taping system had been installed. Oliver Atkins/National Archives YORBA LINDA, Calif. — Richard M. Nixon made disparaging remarks about Jews, blacks, Italian-Americans and Irish-Americans in a series of extended conversations with top aides and his personal secretary, recorded in the Oval Office 16 months before he resigned as president. The remarks were contained in 265 hours of recordings, captured by the secret taping system Nixon had installed in the White House and released this week by the Nixon Presidential Library and Museum. While previous recordings have detailed Nixon’s animosity toward Jews, including those who served in his administration like Henry A. Kissinger, his national security adviser, these tapes suggest an added layer of complexity to Nixon’s feeling. He and his aides seem to make a distinction between Israeli Jews, whom Nixon admired, and American Jews. In a conversation Feb. 13, 1973, with Charles W. Colson, a senior adviser who had just told Nixon that he had always had “a little prejudice,” Nixon said he was not prejudiced but continued: “I’ve just recognized that, you know, all people have certain traits. ”Gen. Dwight Eisenhower and his vice-presidential running mate, Senator Richard Nixon, in 1952. Associated Press“The Jews have certain traits,” he said. “"

By Sam Tanenhaus November 5, 2015 2:00:16 AM PSTHillary Clinton’s Benghazi testimony, in all its layered meaning, overpowers cogent analysis and even neutral description. It was unsettling, strange, riveting—and without any true precedent: A front-runner for her party’s presidential nomination, and the first woman ever to be a serious contender for the job, interrogated, often with unconcealed hostility, for the better part of a day, with breaks for in-studio score-keeping, followed by postmortems, and spin on all sides. Even as committee Republicans took hard hits—“disturbing” (David Gergen on CNN), gripped in “psychosis” (David Brooks on PBS News Hour )—conservatives dug in: “Hillary Clinton is corrupt, and vomits up lies,” Mark Steyn said on Hugh Hewitt’s radio program. “ You can hear the contempt in her voice when she answers questions, she believes she is above questioning. ”Hillary Clinton smiles during a House Select Committee on Benghazi hearing in Washington on Oct. 22, 2015.

At that hour, Gerald Rudolph Ford, whom Mr. Nixon nominated for Vice President last Oct. 12, will be sworn in as the 38th President, to serve out the 895 days remaining in Mr. Nixon's second term. Less than two years after his landslide re-election victory, Mr. Nixon, in a conciliatory address on national television, said that he was leaving not with a sense of bitterness but with a hope that his departure would start a \"\"process of healing that is so desperately needed in America. \"\" He spoke of regret for any \"\"injuries\"\" done \"\"in the course of the events that led to this decision.\"\" He acknowledged that some of his judgments had been wrong.

Only 10 months earlier Spiro Agnew resigned the Vice-Presidency. Speaks of Pain at Yielding Post Mr. Nixon, speaking from the Oval Office, where his successor will be sworn in tomorrow, may well have delivered his most effective speech since the Watergate scandals began to swamp his Administration in early 1973. In tone and content, the 15-minute address was in sharp contrast to his frequently combative language of the past, especially his first \"\"farewell\"\" appearance- that of 1962, when he announced he was retiring from politics after losing the California governorship race and declared that the news media would not have \"\"Nixon to kick around\"\" anymore. Yet he spoke tonight of how painful it was for him to give up the office. \"\""

Nixon dies after suffering a stroke four days earlier. In a 1978 speech at Oxford University, Nixon admitted he had screwed up during his presidency but predicted that his achievements would be viewed more favorably with time. He told the young audience, “You’ll be here in the year 2000, see how I am regarded then. ”Nixon is most often remembered for his involvement in the Watergate scandal as president and for his Cold War-era persecution of suspected communists while serving as a U. S. senator. However, Nixon left a legacy as complex as his personality. Nixon did not owe his success in politics to personality or charm: in fact, even many of his staunch supporters described him as cold, aloof, crude, arrogant and paranoid. President Dwight D. Eisenhower himself, whom Nixon served as vice president, claimed that Nixon would never win the presidency because the people don’t like him. After proving his former boss wrong, Nixon left the office in disgrace, resigning in the face of impending impeachment. His paranoia of political sabotage by his opponents had inspired him to authorize the wire-tapping of enemies and supporters alike. Ironically, it was the conversations he taped in his own office that led to his ultimate downfall."

There have been rumors about Mc Cain’s service. Mc Cain served as a U. S.

With Mc Cain voting against sometimes with his Republican colleagues, there are people on social media suggesting false information about him. Mc Cain was taken prisoner by the North Vietnamese and spent five-plus years enduring torture and brutality as a POW before being released. However, rumors circulated that Mc Cain proclaimed himself to be a “war criminal” who “bombed innocent women and children.” But, that was not the case. According to Snopes, Mc Cain did recall the pressure put upon him by his captors to acknowledge that he was a “war criminal. ”“For the next three or four days, I lapsed from conscious to unconsciousness.

"text": "January 22, 2014, is the 41st anniversary of one of the darkest days in American history — the day that the United States Supreme Court handed down the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion on demand. Since that date, almost 55 million unborn babies have been aborted in American wombs. America has been at war over abortion for the last four decades and more. When the U. S. Supreme Court handed down its decision in Roe v. Wade, the court’s majority attempted to put an end to the abortion question. To the contrary, that decision both enlarged and revealed the great moral divide that runs through the center of our culture. Most Americans seem completely unaware of the actual contours of the abortion debate as it emerged in the early 1970s. In 1973, the primary opposition to abortion on demand came from the Roman Catholic Church. Evangelicals — representative of the larger American culture — were largely out of the debate. At that time, a majority of evangelicals seemed to see abortion as a largely Catholic issue. It took the shock of Roe v. Wade and the reality of abortion on demand to awaken the Evangelical conscience."

C. on June 17, 1972, and President Richard Nixon 's administration's subsequent attempt to cover up its involvement. After the five burglars were caught and the conspiracy was discovered, Watergate was investigated by the United States Congress. Meanwhile, Nixon's administration resisted its probes, which led to a constitutional crisis. [ 1]The term Watergate, by metonymy, has come to encompass an array of clandestine and often illegal activities undertaken by members of the Nixon administration. Those activities included such \"\"dirty tricks\"\" as bugging the offices of political opponents and people of whom Nixon or his officials were suspicious. Nixon and his close aides also ordered investigations of activist groups and political figures, using the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as political weapons."

You had it right the first time. By Timothy Noah In the days since Gerald Ford's death, so much praise has been heaped on the late president's blanket pardon to his predecessor, Richard Nixon, that you'd think Tricky Dick was Jean Valjean. These magnanimous pronouncements are a preening exercise in cost-free generosity three decades after the fact. They reflect little or no consideration of the merits of the pardon itself. No new information has emerged during the past 32 years that makes Ford's pardon to Nixon look any more justifiable; indeed, what facts have dribbled forth make it seem less so. ( More on these later.) Nor can the pardon plausibly be considered an example of the bipartisan spirit for which Ford is justly, if too extravagantly, praised by Washington insiders. The pardon may have had the long-term effect of tamping down partisan warfare between Democrats and Republicans over a possible criminal trial (obstruction of justice would have been the likeliest charge), but when a Republican short-circuits prosecution of a fellow Republican, you can't call that bipartisanship."

Website video, audio, transcript The Checkers speech or Fund speech was an address made on September 23, 1952, by the Republican candidate for vice president of the United States, California Senator Richard Nixon. Nixon had been accused of improprieties relating to a fund established by his backers to reimburse him for his political expenses. With his place on the Republican ticket in doubt, he flew to Los Angeles and delivered a half-hour television address in which he defended himself, attacked his opponents, and urged the audience to contact the Republican National Committee (RNC) to tell it whether he should remain on the ticket. During the speech, he stated that regardless of what anyone said, he intended to keep one gift: a black-and-white dog who had been named Checkers by the Nixon children, thus giving the address its popular name. Nixon, as he related in his address, came from a family of modest means, and had spent much of his time after law school either in the military, campaigning for office, or serving in Congress. After his successful 1950 Senate campaign, Nixon's backers continued to raise money to finance his political activities. These contributions went to reimburse him for travel costs, postage for political mailings which he did not have franked, and similar expenses. Such a fund was not illegal at the time, but, because Nixon had made a point of attacking government corruption, it exposed him to charges he might be giving special favors to the contributors. The press became aware of the fund in September 1952, two months after Nixon's selection as General Dwight D. Eisenhower 's running mate."

But it would be the huge box-office success and eventual cult following of Stand By Me in in 1986, based on a Stephen King novella, that would launch the young actor's appeal into the stratosphere.

Set in the jungles of the South Atlantic, the film's plot carried remarkable similarities to River Phoenix's atypical upbringing, having been reared in a log cabin in rural Oregon. But River accepted his rising star reluctantly, happy that he could help his family by bringing home a paycheck. Atypical of the existing Hollywood fete set, Phoenix was shy, somewhat reclusive and held a disdain for the spotlight. The Hollywood hype machine left a bad taste in the actor's mouth leading him to once proclaim, \"\"I've kept my ego and my happiness completely separate from my work. in fact, if I see my face on the cover of a magazine I go into remission. I shut myself out and freak. \"\" Hollywood Begins to Take a Toll Following a string of appearances in such well-known films as Indiana Jones, Sneakers and My Own Private Idaho, friends and professionals began to observe major changes in Phoenix's personality."

THANK YOU—your feedback is very important to us!Give Feedback Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute Home Universal Myths and Symbols: Animal Creatures and Creationby Pedro Mendia-Landa Contents of Curriculum Unit 98.02.05: Narrative Myth, Folklore, and Legends Creation Myths Mythological animals and creatures Animals in diverse mythologies The Phoenix Methods Sample lessons and guidelineslist of recommended stories Electronic resources Bibliography Teacher and student resourcesappendix ATo Guide Entry Mythology and mythological ideas permeate all languages, cultures and lives. Myths affect us in many ways, from the language we use to how we tell time; mythology is an integral presence. The influence mythology has in our most basic traditions can be observed in the language, customs, rituals, values and morals of every culture, yet the limited extent of our knowledge of mythology is apparent. In general we have today a poor understanding of the significance of myths in our lives. One way of studying a culture is to study the underlying mythological beliefs of that culture, the time period of the origins of the culture’s myths, the role of myth in society, the symbols used to represent myths, the commonalties and differences regarding mythology, and the understanding a culture has of its myths. Such an exploration leads to a greater understanding of the essence of a culture. As an elementary school teacher I explore the role that mythology plays in our lives and the role that human beings play in the world of mythology. My objective is to bring to my students’ attention stories that explore the origins of the universe and the origins of human kind, and to encourage them to consider the commonalties and differences in the symbols represented in cross-cultural universal images of the creation of the world. I begin this account of my unit by clarifying the differences between myth, folklore, and legend, since they have been at times interchangeably and wrongly used."

This included throwing all the poolside furniture into the pool, Wheaton fixing video games in the lobby so they could play them for free and Phoenix (spurred on by the other boys) unknowingly covering Kiefer Sutherland 's car in mud, only discovering whose car it was when Sutherland confronted a scared and nervous Phoenix about it later.378 of 383 found this interesting | Share this In the campfire scene in which Chris breaks down, Rob Reiner was sure River Phoenix could do better. He asked him to think of a time in his own life when an adult had let him down and use it in the scene, which Phoenix did. Upset and crying, he had to be comforted by the director afterwards.

"text": "\"Gone Before 30: Stars Who Died Young By SAIRA ANEES CAROLYN KRAMERJan. 29, 2008Email It's as common in Hollywood as the rags-to-riches tale: stories of stars who died young. Actor Heath Ledger, who died Jan. 22 in New York, and Brad Renfro, who died just one week earlier, join the ranks of artists, actors and musicians who died before their 30th birthdays, often during the prime of their careers. Heath Ledger, 28Ledger was found dead in his Manhattan apartment Jan. 22, surrounded by bottles of prescription drugs. An initial autopsy was inconclusive, and a medical examiner said further tests would be needed to determine Ledger's cause of death. The actor, recently separated from actress Michelle Williams, his former fiance and mother of his 2-year-old daughter, is expected to be remembered as one of best of his generation. He got an Oscar nomination for playing a gay cowboy in \"\"Brokeback Mountain\"\" and is slated to appear as the Joker in the new Batman movie, \"\"The Dark Knight,\"\" this summer.. Brad Renfro, 25Renfro made his acting debut in 1994 at age 11, playing the title role in \"\"The Client\"\" alongside Susan Sarandon and Tommy Lee Jones. He went to on star with Brad Pitt, Robert De Niro, Kevin Bacon and Dustin Hoffman in the 1996 film \"\"Sleepers.\"\" Renfro quickly became a teen heartthrob, and his acting talents had critics thinking he'd last in Hollywood. But legal troubles and struggles with drugs and alcohol hindered his prospects."

"text": "\"Previous (Mystici Corporis Christi) Next (Mythology)Arms of Scotland featuring a unicorn A mystical, mythical, or legendary creature is a creature from mythology or folklore (often known as \"\"fabulous creatures\"\" in historical literature). Examples of legendary creatures can be found in medieval bestiaries. Many mythical creatures have supernatural powers (some good, some evil), powers that even in contemporary times have no physical explanation. In these cases the creatures bear more similarity to spiritual beings, such as angels, in religious thought. Often legendary creatures came to symbolize vices or virtues, or the power of good or evil. In many cases, their actual existence was secondary to the moral of the tale in which they featured. Legendary creatures have often been incorporated into heraldry and architectural decoration. This is particularly the case with those symbolizing great strength or other power. In contemporary times, many legendary creatures appear prominently in fantasy fiction. These creatures are often claimed to have supernatural powers or knowledge or to guard some object of great value."

"text": "\"Like \"\" Mac Arthur Park ,\"\" \"\"By the Time I Get to Phoenix\"\" was written by Jimmy Webb about a love affair he had with Suzy Horton, whom he began dating when they were high school students in Colton, California. She caused him considerable anguish when she ran off to Lake Tahoe to work as a dancer; it got worse when she married another guy, inspiring Webb to write \"\" Worst That Could Happen ,\"\" a hit for the Brooklyn Bridge in 1969. That marriage failed, and in 1993, Horton became Suzy Ronstadt when she married Linda Ronstadt's cousin, Bobby. This was originally recorded by Johnny Rivers in 1965, who had a hit with \"\"Memphis\"\" the year before. The story of how the song was recorded starts with Jimmy Webb's first job: staff songwriter at Motown Records. Webb told us: \"\"I worked for Motown when I was about 17, 18 years old. I was a white face. There were a lot of black faces and mine was a white face. But they always treated me very kindly, treated me like family there and really taught me a lot.

His mother, Arlyn (Dunetz), a Bronx-born secretary, and his father, John Bottom, a carpenter, met in California in 1968. They worked as itinerant fruit pickers, and later joined the Children of God religious group (John was originally Catholic, while Arlyn was born Jewish). By the time River was two, they were living in South America, where John was the sect's Archbishop of Venezuela. They later left the group and, in 1977, moved back to the United States, changing their last name to \"\"Phoenix\"\". They lived with River's maternal grandparents in Florida, and later moved to Los Angeles. His parents encouraged all of their children to get into movies and, by age ten, River was acting professionally on TV. His film debut was in Explorers (1985), followed rapidly by box-office successes with Stand by Me (1986) and The Mosquito Coast (1986), and as young Indiana in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989). His role as Danny Pope in Running on Empty (1988) earned him an Academy Award nomination as Best Supporting Actor. His best role was probably Mike, the hustler in My Own Private Idaho (1991)."

The metropolitan area is the 12th largest by population in the United States, with approximately 4.73 million people as of 2017. [ 7] In addition, Phoenix is the seat of Maricopa County, and at 517.9 square miles (1,341 km 2 ), it is the largest city in the state, more than twice the size of Tucson and one of the largest cities in the United States. [ 8]Settled in 1867 as an agricultural community near the confluence of the Salt and Gila Rivers, Phoenix incorporated as a city in 1881. It became the capital of Arizona in 1889. ["

When Jean was ten years old she was playing with her best friend, Annie Richardson when Annie was hit by a car. [ 5] The emotion that Jean felt as she held her dying friend awakened her own latent telepathic powers and she experienced Annie's own emotions as she died. This traumatic event left Jean in a withdrawn and deeply depressed state. Moreover, Jean could not control her newly awakened telepathic abilities and had to isolate herself from other people to hold on to her sanity. Jean holding Annie as she dies When Jean was eleven, a psychiatrist recommended to her parents that they consult a colleague of his, Professor Charles Xavier, who was secretly a mutant with telepathic abilities of his own. Prof. Xavier explained to Jean, but not to her parents, that she was a mutant and he treated her for several years. The Professor taught Jean how to levitate and manipulate objects through psionic force when she developed telekinesis at the age of thirteen. ["

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."

"text": "65458110 Celebrities Who Died from a Heroin-Cocaine Speedballby Julian July 25, 20120Many celebrities take the “live fast, die young” idea literally and pass away without ever reaching their full potential — and illegal narcotics are often the reason why. In the celebrity world, where the use of hard drugs is widespread, “speedballing” (in which heroin and cocaine are injected together in the same syringe) is among the most notorious of killers. Mixing heroin, a powerful depressant, with a stimulant as potent as cocaine makes this cocktail more dangerous than taking either drug straight and dramatically increases the chances of an overdose. This spectacularly dangerous way of getting high has prematurely claimed the lives of a number of promising young stars. Here we list 10 celebrities who died from a heroin-cocaine speedball.10. River Phoenix River Phoenix rose to fame as the character of Gordie in classic coming-of-age movie Stand by Me, and developed into a teen heartthrob and a promising actor. Following his breakout film role, the oldest Phoenix brother moved into more mature territory with his Academy Award-nominated role in Running on Empty as well as box office hits like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The young idol had something of a squeaky-clean image as an activist and charity worker, which is why, perhaps, it was so shocking to the general public when, on October 30, 1993, he was found suffering from seizures on the sidewalk outside Hollywood’s Viper Room, after taking large amounts of cocaine and heroin (as well as other drugs such as diazepam, ephedrine). The actor was rushed to hospital but could not be resuscitated and was pronounced dead, aged just 23.

Jean Grey has died three times. The first death occured at the end of Uncanny X-Men #100, where she died while piloting a space shuttle through re-entry. The intense heat of the shuttle's unshielded cockpit nearly vaporized her body. She was almost immediately revived by the Phoenix Force, which placed her body in a cocoon to heal for several years. Meanwhile the Phoenix Force used a copy of her body to fool everyone into thinking that Jean had been saved by the surfacing of her new powers."

"text": "Magazine Casey Affleck Should Be More Famous By KEVIN LINCOLN NOV. 21, 2013Alex Prager for The New York Times Before Casey Affleck started filming “Out of the Furnace” last year, he felt, professionally speaking, as if he’d lost his way. Five years earlier, in 2007, he had two breakout roles: “Gone Baby Gone,” directed by his older brother Ben, and “The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford,” in which he played the coward, Robert Ford, and for which he received an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor. In the years following, though, he had starred in only two live-action films (and provided a voice for the cartoon “Para Norman” ). His most recent and notorious creative project was in 2010, when he poured his heart, brain and wallet into “I’m Still Here,” a passion project he made with his brother-in-law and close friend, Joaquin Phoenix. The hoax-documentary purported to chronicle Phoenix ’s real-life personal implosion, as he supposedly made the switch from acting to a rap career. The film not only met with many terrible reviews but actually seemed to enrage the media. Dana Stevens of Slate had a not untypical critical reaction: “The worst thing about ‘I’m Still Here’ is the fact that it exists. ”So when Affleck started shooting “Out of the Furnace,” an ambitious film about two brothers in steel-town Pennsylvania, he was looking to regain something. During a scene, sitting across from his co-star Christian Bale, he realized what that thing was. “"

"text": "\"Donald Trump's visits to California have attracted many protests this year, but if he wins he theoretically could still lose. Amanda Edwards/Getty Images Whether Donald Trump is entitled to California's 55 Electoral College votes would be called into question if Trump wins the state's popular vote, a Trump-supporting third party and election law experts are warning. It's an unusual situation and everyone seems to agree there's a potential problem, but they disagree on the severity and likely resolution if Trump defies polls and wins the state. Officials in California, the biggest prize in the Electoral College, which officially selects U. S. presidents, begin mailing absentee ballots this week, and the California secretary of state's office has not clarified what will happen if Trump does prevail. The problem arises from the fact that Trump is nominated by both the Republican Party and the state branch of the American Independent Party, and the two parties did not agree on a joint slate of electors, Just two names overlap on lists submitted earlier this week, bringing the total number of Trump electors to 108. California ballots will list the two nominations together near Trump’s name, with “Republican, American Independent” or some abbreviation – and ballots don't list individual electors. But if on the evening of Nov. 8 it becomes clear he has won the state, the two nominations will net Trump nearly twice the number of electors allowed. The mess is caused in part by state Republicans rebuffing the minor party’s request for a combined slate, citing bylaws allowing the selection only of Republicans. The major party has indicated a willingness to set aside concern about the bylaw restriction if ordered by a court or instructed by Secretary of State Alex Padilla after the election. California Republican Party Executive Director Cynthia Bryant tells U. S. News the party wants Trump to win and anticipates a reasonable resolution if he carries the state."

"text": "THE BLOG 06/13/2013 09:24 am ET Updated Aug 13, 2013Democratic and Republican Ideologies Undergo Dramatic Role Reversal By Rich Rubino The Democratic and Republican Parties have undergone a long transition from their founding ideological principles. The Democrats started out as the conservative party but are now the liberal party, and the Republicans were once the liberal party but are now the conservative party. The Democratic Party we know today evolved from the conservative Democratic-Republican Party of the 1790’s. The first contested Presidential election was in 1796. The Democratic-Republican Party nominated the conservative Thomas Jefferson as their first presidential nominee. Party members were anti-federalists who favored state sovereignty, free markets, a decentralized federal government, and an originalist interpretation of the U. S. Constitution and the attendant Bill of Rights. The Democratic-Republican Party also supported the institution of slavery. Democratic President Martin Van Buren presided over the panic of 1837, and during that time he was steadfastly opposed to using the government as a means of employing workers on public works projects. In fact, during this economic depression Van Buren literally sold the federal government’s tool supply so that the government could not use the tools for public works projects. This ideological mindset is diametrically opposite of the economic stimulus proposals that contemporary Democrats now support and advocate for, especially during periods of economic morass."

President before election Woodrow Wilson Democratic Elected President Warren G. Harding Republican The United States presidential election of 1920 was the 34th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 2, 1920. In the first election held after the end of World War I and the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, Republican Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio defeated Democratic Governor James M. Cox of Ohio. Incumbent Democratic President Woodrow Wilson privately hoped for a third term, but party leaders were unwilling to re-nominate the unpopular incumbent. Former President Theodore Roosevelt had been the front-runner for the Republican nomination, but he died in 1919 without leaving an obvious heir to his progressive legacy. With both Wilson and Roosevelt out of the running, the major parties turned to little-known dark horse candidates from the state of Ohio, a swing state with a large number of electoral votes. Cox won the 1920 Democratic National Convention on the 44th ballot, defeating William Gibbs Mc Adoo, A. Mitchell Palmer, and several other candidates. Harding emerged as a compromise candidate between the conservative and progressive wings of the party, and he clinched his nomination on the tenth ballot of the 1920 Republican National Convention."

S. vice president, and twenty-sixth president of the United States, succeeding President William Mc Kinley upon his assassination on September 6, 1901. Roosevelt was the fifth cousin of the later President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the uncle of Eleanor Roosevelt, who would be first lady. Inaugurated at age 42, Roosevelt became the youngest sitting president. By force of will Roosevelt overcame a sickly childhood and took particular pride in leading what he called the \"\"strenuous life.\"\" Roosevelt gained national recognition with his heroic assault leading the Rough Riders on San Juan Hill in Cuba during the Spanish American War and was noted for his big-game hunting expeditions into the American West, Africa, and South America. Roosevelt's appreciation of nature, notwithstanding the indiscriminate slaughter that characterized hunting expeditions of the time, led to some of the most progressive conservation measures of any U. S. administration. As president Roosevelt signed legislation adding five national parks and 18 national monuments, as well as protecting extensive land preserves for public use. Roosevelt's presidency fostered great irrigation projects and the construction of the historic Panama Canal to promote global commerce. A voracious reader and first-rate intellect, Roosevelt made notable contributions in paleontology, taxidermy, and ornithology, and brought an unprecedented energy and intellectual vigor to the presidency. Despite a privileged background Roosevelt was deeply concerned with the public welfare, and legislation during his presidency enabled millions to earn a fair wage, which he called the “Square Deal."

Learning Objectives List the primary causes championed by the Progressive movement, and some of the movement’s major outcomes Key Takeaways Key Points Characteristics of the Progressive Era include purification of the government, modernization, a focus on family and education, prohibition, and women’s suffrage. Many Progressives sought to rid the government of corruption, and muckraking became a particular type of journalism that exposed waste, corruption, and scandal on a national level. Two of the most important outcomes of the Progressive Era were the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Amendments, the first of which outlawed the manufacturing, sale, or transport of alcohol, and the second of which enfranchised women with the right to vote. The national political leaders of the Progressive Era included Theodore Roosevelt, Robert M. La Follette Sr., Charles Evans Hughes, and Herbert Hoover on the Republican side, and William Jennings Bryan, Woodrow Wilson, and Al Smith on the Democratic side. Theodore Roosevelt is often cited as the first Progressive president, known for his trust -busting activities. Progressives did little for civil rights or the plight of African Americans in the aftermath of Reconstruction, as the Supreme Court affirmed the constitutionality of many racist southern laws. Key Termsmuckraker: A reform-oriented investigative journalist during the Progressive Era. The muckrakers’ work called attention to the problems of the time, including poor industrial working conditions, poor urban living conditions, and unscrupulous business practices."

"text": "\"▼ Primary Sources ▼Joseph Mc Carthy Joseph Mc Carthy was born on a farm in Appleton, Wisconsin, on 14th November, 1908. His parents were devout Roman Catholics and Joseph was the fifth of nine children. He left school at 14 and worked as a chicken farmer before managing a grocery store in the nearby town of Manawa. Mc Carthy returned to high school in 1928 and after achieving the necessary qualifications, won a place at Marquette University. After graduating Mc Carthy worked as a lawyer but was fairly unsuccessful and had to supplement his income by playing poker. Mc Carthy was originally a supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal. However, after failing to become the Democratic Party candidate for district attorney, he switched parties and became the Republican Party candidate in an election to become a circuit court judge. Mc Carthy shocked local officials by fighting a dirty campaign. This included publishing campaign literature that falsely claimed that his opponent, Edgar Werner, was 73 (he was actually 66). As well as suggesting that Werner was senile, Mc Carthy implied that he was guilty of financial corruption."

La Follette Progressive 13 4,822,8561928 >><< 1920The United States presidential election of 1924 was won by incumbent President Calvin Coolidge, the Republican candidate. Coolidge became president in 1923 following the death of then-incumbent president, Warren G. Harding. Coolidge was given credit for a booming economy at home and no visible crises abroad. He was aided by a split within the Democratic Party. The regular Democratic candidate was John W. Davis, a little-known former congressman and diplomat from West Virginia. Since Davis was a conservative, many liberal Democrats bolted the party and backed the third-party campaign of Wisconsin Senator Robert M. La Follette, Sr., who ran as the candidate of the Progressive Party. This was the first presidential election in which all American Indians were citizens and thus allowed to vote. Coolidge's 25.2-point victory margin in the popular vote is one of the largest ever. Source: Wikipedia Change History!"

"text": "\"Volume 2, Number 2THE RADIO ACT OF 1927 AS A PRODUCT OF PROGRESSIVISMBy Mark Goodman Mississippi State University ABSTRACTCongress passed the Radio Act of 1927 to bring order to the chaos of radio broadcasting. In the process, Congressional representatives had to deal with several free speech issues, which were resolved in favor of the Progressive concepts of public interest, thereby limiting free speech. This study examines how Congress intended radio licensees to interpret and practice free speech. In conclusion, it was found Congressmen feared radio's potential power to prompt radical political or social reform, spread indecent language, and to monopolize opinions. Therefore, the FRC was empowered to protect listeners from those who would not operate radio for \"\"public interest, convenience, and necessity. \"\" INTRODUCTION In the Radio Act of 1927 Congress recognized broadcasters' right to \"\"free speech,\"\" 1 meaning those granted licenses to operate AM radio stations could do so free of government censorship or programming. However, a review of the Progressive influences on the Radio Act indicates that Congress never intended for radio licensees to use free speech to create an open, vibrant marketplace of ideas through radio broadcasting. What Congress sought for the new medium was a voice that would articulate middle class ideology. 2This research does not refute the existing history written on the text of the Radio Act, which is examined after the major issues have been considered. The search is for the underlying ideology in the Act that may not be found by only reading it and accepting a literal understanding of \"\"free speech.\"\""

"text": "\"The region that is now Wisconsin has probably been inhabited since the end of the glacial period, 10,000 years ago. Some of the earliest inhabitants were ancestors of the Menominee; these early immigrants from the north built burial mounds, conical ones at first, then large effigy mounds shaped like different animals. Other peoples arrived from the south and east, including ancestors of the Winnebago Indians (about AD 1400) and a tribe that built flat-top earthen pyramids. During the 17th century, the Ojibwa, Sauk, Fox, Potawatomi, Kickapoo, and other tribes came to Wisconsin. These tribes engaged in agriculture, hunting, and fishing, but with the arrival of Europeans, they became increasingly dependent on the fur trade—a dependence that had serious economic consequences when the fur trade declined in the early 19th century. The first European believed to have reached Wisconsin was Jean Nicolet, who in 1634 landed on the shores of Green Bay while in the service of Samuel de Champlain. Two decades later, Médard Chouart des Groseilliers and Pierre Esprit Radisson, both fur traders, explored northern Wisconsin; in 1673, the Jesuit priest Jacques Marquette and the explorer Louis Jolliet crossed the whole area that is now Wisconsin, via the Fox and Wisconsin rivers, on their way to the Mississippi. Other Jesuits established missions, and French fur traders opened up posts. The French were succeeded by the British after the French and Indian War (the British ruled Wisconsin as part of Quebec Province from 1774 to 1783). Although ceded to the US in 1783, it remained British in all but name until 1816, when the US built forts at Prairie du Chien and Green Bay."

How Did John D. Rockefeller Spend His Money? Full Answer There were three tracts of land that Fall illegally leased, one in Buena Vista, Calif., one in Elk Hills, Calif., and one in Salt Creek, Wyo. The latter was nicknamed the Teapot Dome because of the shape of the land. These lands had been used exclusively as naval oil reserves and were under the control of the Secretary of the Navy. Private business interests vied for control of these oil-rich lands, and after Fall was appointed Secretary of the Interior, he convinced the president to transfer jurisdiction of these lands to his department."

Rockefeller still owned significant equity in. This actually created enormous wealth for the Rockefellers as many of those companies grew very large individually, resulting in the value of his equity in all the individual smaller companies increasing to many times that of the value of his equity in Standard Oil before the breakup. The largest and most well known of these are: - Standard Oil of New Jersey (became Exxon) - Standard Oil of New York (became Mobile) - Standard Oil of California (became Chevron) - Standard Oil of Indiana (became Amoco, bought by BP) - The Ohio Oil Co.

Senator from Arizona (1953–1965)William E. Miller U. S. Representative for New York's 40th (1953–1965)Affiliation Republican Party Slogan In Your Heart You Know He's Right The Barry Goldwater presidential campaign of 1964 began when United States Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona elected to seek the Republican Party nomination for President of the United States to challenge incumbent Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson. Early on, before officially announcing his candidacy for the presidency, Goldwater was accused [1] by Governor of New York Nelson Rockefeller of attempting to galvanize Southern and Western Republican support while neglecting the industrial northern states, eventually becoming one of Goldwater's primary opponents in the race for the Republican Party's nomination in 1964. Amid growing popularity in the southern states in the early 1960s, Goldwater had been anticipating and looking forward to an \"\"issue-oriented\"\" campaign against Democrat John F. Kennedy, a personal friend of his. Goldwater, who was an aviator by hobby, wished to fly about the country in an attempt to revive whistle stop train tour -style debates. Kennedy's assassination in November 1963 dashed Goldwater's hopes of an election contest between himself and his friend and political rival. Nevertheless, Goldwater officially announced his candidacy for the presidency in January 1964 from the patio of his Arizona home. Following a battle with moderate and liberal Republicans in the Republican primary, such as Nelson Rockefeller and with moderate conservatives such as William Scranton among others, Goldwater won the party's nomination for president. From the beginning of his campaign, Goldwater fought an uphill battle to unseat an incumbent president under favorable economic circumstances. Goldwater consistently refused to moderate his views, which alienated a significant portion of the more moderate wing of the Republican party from his campaign. With the assistance of the media, who in large part also had an unfavorable opinion of Goldwater, President Johnson used this fissure in the party to portray him as an extremist. ["

Dwight Eisenhower used the term \"\"modern Republicanism\"\" to describe this wing of the Party, as opposed to the Old Right led by Robert Taft and other conservatives. Geographically, they were mostly concentrated on the East Coast, especially New York and Pennsylvania, leading to the nickname \"\"the Eastern Establishment\"\" to describe them at the height of their power. Economically, they were opposed to socialism and government ownership of businesses, but still supported the rights of organized labor, some regulations on business, and the basic framework of the New Deal as integral parts of a capitalist system, though as FDR notes, they always dressed their tacit support with \"\"We would like to, uhh, change it, you know?\"\" They believed in investment in education, health care, and infrastructure, supporting low-cost public universities and the Interstate Highway System as a way to supply businesses with an educated workforce and modern highways to facilitate their growth."

What the statement doesn’t include is how Rockefeller, with the aid of his family name, was able to become one of the key members of the shadow government through influencing the government, healthcare, the energy system, and many other industries, largely for strategic power gains. Who Is David Rockefeller? David was the youngest of six children to John D. Rockefeller Jr. and the grandson of Standard Oil co-founder John D. Rockefeller. He graduated from Harvard University in 1936 and then went on to study at the University of Chicago in 1940, where he received a Doctorate in Economics. In 1940 he married Margaret Mc Grath, with whom he had six children, and became the President of Chase Manhattan in 1961. Eight years later, he was appointed as CEO and chairman ( source ). Rockefeller wasn’t shy about his views on American capitalism, stating that it “brought more benefits to more people than any other system in any part of the world at any time in history."

"text": "Business Day David Rockefeller, Philanthropist and Head of Chase Manhattan, Dies at 101By JONATHAN KANDELL MARCH 20, 2017Slide Show In His Own Words, ‘an Interesting Life’Michael Evans/The New York Times David Rockefeller, the banker and philanthropist with the fabled family name who controlled Chase Manhattan bank for more than a decade and wielded vast influence around the world for even longer as he spread the gospel of American capitalism, died on Monday morning at his home in Pocantico Hills, N. Y. He was 101. His son David Jr. confirmed the death. Chase Manhattan had long been known as the Rockefeller bank, although the family never owned more than 5 percent of its shares. But Mr. Rockefeller was more than a steward. As chairman and chief executive throughout the 1970s, he made it “David’s bank,” as many called it, expanding its operations internationally. His stature was greater than any corporate title might convey, however. His influence was felt in Washington and foreign capitals, in the corridors of New York City government, in art museums, in great universities and in public schools. Mr. Rockefeller could well be the last of a less and less visible family to have cut so imposing a figure on the world stage. As a peripatetic advocate of the economic interests of the United States and of his own bank, he was a force in global financial affairs and in his country’s foreign policy. He was received in foreign capitals with the honors accorded a chief of state."

His family moved several times before eventually settling in Cleveland, Ohio. Rockefeller became an assistant bookkeeper at the age of 16, and went into a business partnership with Maurice B. Clark and his brothers at 20. After buying them out, he and his brother William founded Rockefeller & Andrews with Samuel Andrews. Instead of drilling for oil, they concentrated on oil refining.

The Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) liked the house so much that in 1923 he took over the house for himself. It remained the residence of the CNO until 1974, when Congress authorized its transformation to an official residence for the Vice President, though a temporary one. In fact, by law, it is still the \"\"official temporary residence of the Vice President of the United States\"\". The 1974 congressional authorization covered the cost of refurbishment and furnishing the house. Although Number One Observatory Circle was made available to the Vice President in 1974, three years passed before a Vice President lived full-time in the house. Vice President Gerald Ford became President before he could use the house. His Vice President, Nelson Rockefeller, primarily used the home for entertaining as he already had a well-secured residence in Washington, D.

"text": "\"by Alex Christopher1993extracted from 'Pandora's Box The Ultimate \"\"Unseen Hand\"\" Behind the New World Order'Everyone has for many years been lead to believe that the Rockefellers were the people that owned and founded the Standard Oil Company and that the Rockefellers were the owners of banks and vast fortunes even from the mid-eighteen hundreds. The Rockefellers really were part of an elite group of men that became the front men for one family that really owned the wealth of this country. Because of the vastness of this empire the family had to have key people to head up the large corporation. They were put in controlling position of these companies and were made to look like they were the owners when in reality they were only the ‘TRUSTEES’, of these companies. John D. Rockefeller, a Trustee for what is now known as Exxon Corporation (formerly Standard Oil of New Jersey), first became interested in oil in 1863 when he was sent to Pennsylvania by a group of Cleveland. Ohio businessmen to investigate oil operations. At that time he was not impressed with, the producing end of the business, but he did see a future for the refining and marketing side. And on this premise he and his associates developed their holdings until Standard Oil Company was incorporated in 1877. These people were convinced that small local firms could be bought out because then they could not survive in the highly competitive oil business. Small businesses were bought out and they all became part of the huge Standard Oil Trust in 1882."

When America looks back on her economic history two men stand out as icons for business the American way, John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie. Both Rockefeller and Carnegie believed in social Darwinism. This gave them the \"\"scientific\"\" rationale for their greed, ambition and ruthless competition.

One of the main parts of America that has contributed to its renowned strength has been its economy. The United State’s economy has been growing ever since it began. Credit for its strength and progress in development can be attributed to the financial geniuses of their time. John D. Rockefeller became an economical giant during his time when he changed the face of business by developing ground-breaking new strategies to ensure financial success. Rockefeller dramatically changed the business field during The Gilded Age. He did so through the use of his social Darwinistic philosophy of capitalism, inclusion of vertical and horizontal integration, combination of both his business views and religious beliefs, his Standard Oil Company along with specific refinery processes. He founded the Standard Oil Company, one of the first types of businesses during its time. Although this company helped Rockefeller become known for his successful and competitive strategies, he did develop these strategies by himself with the use of his own beliefs and views. During John D. Rockefeller’s financial career in The Gilded Age, he used many cutthroat practices to ensure that local competitors would not challenge and he would have control over the market of oil with his Standard Oil Company."

In his autobiography, It’s Not Easy Bein’ Me, we get a rare glimpse into the events that shaped Rodney’s perspective and propelled his career. If it’s history you want, that’s a good place to start. Rodney.com continues on as a tribute to the living philosophy of perhaps the ultimate comedic genius. We had an artistic mastermind, a comedy God, walking among us. The following pages offer a journey into his virtuous mind. People remember Rodney as a regular on variety programs like The Tonight Show and from a host of sidesplitting movies that incited cult followings. But if you never witnessed Rodney perform his opus, his Las Vegas act, then you missed the definitive comedic event—a contemplative glimpse into the otherwise billowing eyes of this soulful philosopher. The following reviews of his live shows were those Rodney cherished.

"text": "\"A Biblical Case for Old-Earth Creationism by Jon W. Greene Introduction Is Old Earth Biblical? Guest author, Jon Greene presents an overview of why the Bible supports an old earth interpretation of creation. Contrary to the common perception of young earth creationists, old earth creationists hold a high view of the biblical texts. Rich Deem One of the most fundamental doctrines held dear by Christians is God’s creation of the world and all living creatures. Yet among evangelicals, an ongoing controversy exists regarding the age of the earth and when God created the universe and life. Indeed, the “young-earth” vs. “old-earth” debate is one of the most polarizing and divisive issues within the Christian community. This paper presents the biblical case for “old-earth creationism” (OEC) and endeavors to clear up theological misconceptions regarding OEC held by many well-intentioned “young-earth creationist” (YEC) believers. The purpose is not to dissuade young-earth believers from their position, but rather to propose OEC as a well-reasoned, Bible-honoring view that has been embraced by scholars such as Francis Schaeffer, James Boice, and Norman Geisler. Old earth beliefs Before presenting a more detailed explanation of OEC, here is a brief summary of core beliefs. Old earth creationists contend: God miraculously created the universe from nothing ( ex nihilo ), created life from non-life, and progressively intervened in history to supernaturally create new species of life."

"text": "\"Vaibhav Shahi, Sportsperson Answered Sep 7, 2015 The Grand Slam tournaments, also called majors, are the four most important annual tennis events. The Grand Slam consists of the Australian Open in mid January, the French Open in May and June, Wimbledon in June and July, and the US Open in August and September. Each tournament is played over a period of two weeks. The Australian and US tournaments are played on hard courts, the French on clay, and Wimbledon on grass. Wimbledon is the oldest, founded in 1877, followed by the US in 1881, the French in 1891, and the Australian in 1905. However, of these four, only Wimbledon was a major before 1924/25, the time when all four became designated Grand Slam tournaments. The term \"\" GRAND SLAM \"\" without qualification refers to winning the four majors in a single calendar year.

"text": "Traffic Stop Sparks Watts Riots In 1965, Watts, one of the few Los Angeles neighborhoods where African Americans were allowed to live, was a tense area. Unemployment was high, there was no hospital, and the police force was mostly white. The Civil Rights Act had passed in 1964, but some states tried to get around the new law. California was one of them. The state created Proposition 14, which attempted to block the fair housing portion of the Civil Rights Act. “ This created anger and a feeling of injustice within the inner cities,” according to PBS. “ The ghetto conditions of Watts, the strained relationship between police and the African American community, and the hot weather ... combined into a powder keg ” on Wednesday, Aug. 11, explains Black Past.org. It began when Lee W. Minikus, a white highway patrol officer, pulled over Marquette Frye, a black man, on suspicion of drunken driving. As Frye failed sobriety tests, his mother arrived and scolded him. He became angry and began resisting arrest as 250-300 onlookers gathered."

Sci-fi/action moosh up, Sylvester Stallone plays cryogenically frozen supercop Jack Spartan, cryogenically unfrozen Captain America style to capture his arch-nemesis Simon Phoenix (Wesley G. D. Snipes) in a jokey future society of wimps. Spartan is a typical non-iconic Stallone character – mumbly, down-to-earth, see-through-the-bullshit everyman, except when he goes into battle, then he’s so prone to blow shit up that he’s nicknamed Demolition Man against his wishes. Phoenix is larger-than-life, bordering on mega in his villainy. He’s kind of a bizarro Blade – he has almost the same haircuit, but bleached blond. Instead of black leather he wears loud early ’90s clothes, almost like a clown costume. He fights in a similar style to Blade but instead of being quietly cocky about it he’s flipping everybody shit and strutting around laughing. When he finds out about the outcast underclasses living literally underground he borrows their ROAD WARRIOR fashion sense, armor and big shoulder pads made out of tires. The movie opens in 1996, 3 years into the future from when it was released. Los Angeles in chaos, so the first shot is from the back of the Hollywood sign, on fire."

"text": "In the late afternoon on March 24, 1989, Daymond John, who had just turned 20, stepped onto a street corner in Queens, New York with his first batch of handmade hats. It was Good Friday, about 40 degrees out, and John started peddling his headwear— basically wool beanies with a string knotted on top, replicating a popular urban design—to pedestrians on the sidewalk. An hour and a half later, he had sold $800 dollars worth of hats. A decade later, he had built a $350 million clothing company — but it was far from easy. “Honestly, I didn’t think it would ever become anything,” said John, the founder of FUBU, a hip-hop inspired apparel brand with sales eclipsing $6 billion in the past 25 years. In an interview, John, now an investor on ABC’s “Shark Tank,” walked us through the evolution of FUBU, an acronym for “for us, by us.” He discussed the house he turned into a clothing factory, how he made a handful of shirts look like hundreds, and the surprising career advice he would give the younger version of himself. What follows is a transcript of our interview, lightly edited for clarity. Daymond John is now a branding and marketing consultant in New York and an angel investor on ABC’s reality series “Shark Tank.” ( GUS RUELAS/REUTERS)J. D.

They distribute this teaching and experience to their supporters as a blessing, but the fact is, you may want to stay far away from this fire. Franklin Hall, who was an independent “healing evangelist,” a precursor to the Latter Rain movement, refined the Baptized by Fire teaching. He taught a “body-felt salvation” was through the application of the fire baptism. This baptism, would ultimately lead the believer into immortalization. He promoted disciplines of fasting and open-eyed prayer as a means to achieve body-felt salvation. The fire baptism was passed on through the laying on of hands, (impartation) and other extremes imparting the Holy Ghost fire into people's bodies, through fasting and prayer."

Foul play is not thought to have played a part in the death of a man whose life will forever be associated with one night of brutal violence, and its long-lasting impact on American society. In an interview with the Guardian just last month, King acknowledged the role that his beatings played in the narrative of modern race-relations in the US. \"\" I'm comfortable with my position in American history,\"\" he said. The incident that elevated King to a national symbol of racial prejudice occurred on 3 March 1991. In the early morning hours of that day, the then-25-year-old was subjected to vicious assault at the hands of four white police officers at the side of a highway in Los Angeles. King, on parole for a robbery conviction at the time, was surrounded by officers following a high-speed police chase through the city."

Shannon Stapleton/Reuters LOS ANGELES — Rodney G. King, whose 1991 videotaped beating by the Los Angeles police became a symbol of the nation’s continuing racial tensions and subsequently led to a week of deadly race riots after the officers were acquitted, was found dead Sunday in a swimming pool at the home he shared with his fiancée in Rialto, Calif. He was 47. There was no evidence of foul play, the Rialto police said. Mr. King, whose life was a roller coaster of drug and alcohol abuse, multiple arrests and unwanted celebrity, pleaded for calm during the 1992 riots. More than 55 people were killed and 600 buildings destroyed in the violence. In a phrase that became part of American culture, he asked at a news conference, “Can we all get along?”“People look at me like I should have been like Malcolm X or Martin Luther King or Rosa Parks ,” he told The Los Angeles Times in April. “ I should have seen life like that and stay out of trouble, and don’t do this and don’t do that. But it’s hard to live up to some people’s expectations. ”Mr. King published a memoir in April detailing his struggles, saying in several interviews that he had not been able to find steady work."

But the riots did not heal the city or the man whose suffering set them off By Madison Gray @madisonjgray June 17, 2012Read Later Matt Sayles / APRodney King, in Los Angeles on April 13, 2012Email Print Share Follow @TIMENewsfeed Rodney King, whose 1991 videotaped beating at the hands of Los Angeles police set off a chain of events that, a year later, turned into one of the most devastating riots in U. S. history, was found dead at his Rialto, Calif., home Sunday morning. Police said he was found by his fiancée at the bottom of a swimming pool, but an official cause of death has not been released. King, 47, became the focal point of the Los Angeles riots in 1992 after he was stopped in his car by police on a Los Angeles expressway and severely beaten by four police officers, who later stood trial. It was their acquittal in the case that caused the city to erupt in an orgy of violence that killed over 50 people and caused $1 billion in damage. In the midst of the turmoil, King appeared on television to nervously utter what became his iconic plea: “Can we all get along?” His ordeal, the riot and its aftermath became an international symbol of racial division and tension between Los Angeles police and the African-American community during those days. ( MORE: TIME’s Final Interview with Rodney King)But his life afterward was a struggle to heal from the physical and psychological wounds that lingered long after his trial; he experienced several run-ins with the law, trouble with drug and alcohol abuse and continued domestic-violence issues, as well as financial difficulties, despite what he has always maintained were his best efforts. “Getting past the beating, making it through that alive means better to me,” he told TIME earlier this year on the 20th anniversary of the riots. He explained that as he has traveled the path of healing, so has Los Angeles."

You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries. Greek orator Demosthenes practicing oratory at the beach with pebbles in his mouth Stuttering ( alalia syllabaris ), also known as stammering ( alalia literalis or anarthria literalis ), is a speech disorder in which the flow of speech is disrupted by involuntary repetitions and prolongations of sounds, syllables, words or phrases, and involuntary silent pauses or blocks during which the person who stutters is unable to produce sounds. [ 1] The exact etiology of stuttering is unknown; both genetics and neurophysiology are thought to contribute. [ 2] There are many treatments and speech-language pathology techniques available that may help increase fluency in some stutterers to the point where an untrained ear cannot identify a problem; however, there is essentially no cure for the disorder at present. [ 3] [4]People who stutter include British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, orator Demosthenes, King George VI, actor James Earl Jones, and country singer Mel Tillis. Churchill, whose stutter was particularly apparent to 1920s writers, [5] was one of the 30% of stutterers who have an associated speech disorder—a lisp in his case—yet led his nation through World War II. [ 6] [7] Demosthenes stammered and was inarticulate as a youth, yet, through dedicated practice, using methods such as placing pebbles in his mouth, became a great orator of Ancient Greece. [ 8] King George VI hired speech therapist Lionel Logue to enable him to speak to his Empire, and Logue effectively helped him accomplish this goal. [ 9] This training and its results are the focus of the 2010 film The King's Speech. ["

Since then, most collegiate, amateur, and professional leagues have adopted the rule or some variant; MLB's National League and Nippon Professional Baseball 's Central League are the most prominent professional leagues that do not use a designated hitter.

DH at the MLB level may be used for the pitcher only as stated in Rule 6.10. In any case, use of the DH is optional, however, the manager must designate a DH prior to the start of the game; failure to do so forfeits the right to use the DH, and the pitcher must then take his turn at bat. The designated hitter may not play a field position and he may only be replaced by another player not currently in the lineup. However, the designated hitter may become a position player at any point during the game; if he does so, his team forfeits the role of the designated hitter, and the pitcher or another player (possible only in case of a multiple substitution) must bat in the newly opened spot in the batting order."

In fact, back in antiquity and the classical era, Marcus was one of only a dozen or so given names used for boys. The etymological origin of the name is not certain. It likely comes from one of two places. The first is Mars, the Roman god of war and perhaps means ‘consecrated to the god Mars’ and thus a warrior. The second is from the Latin adjective “mas” meaning ‘male, virile’ which connects nicely with Mars anyway. Mark is also the name of the Evangelist and author of the second gospel in the New Testament which is the main source of the name’s popularity in the English-speaking world. Lastly, in Irish mythology, King Mark was the ruler of Cornwall from the Arthurian legend of Tristan and Isolde (for more information, see Tristan). From this perspective, the origin of the name Mark is Celtic and derived from “marc (h)” meaning ‘steed, horse’. Mark was in use in the Middle Ages, but did not gain any serious use until the 17th century."

When New York City Mayor Robert F. Wagner Jr. dedicated Shea in 1964, he called it “one of the most modern and beautiful sports facilities in the world.” 2 The luster wore off quickly – commentator Peter Gammons said, “I think it was outdated by its third or fourth year.” 3 The multi-purpose park in Queens was often derided. Shea was the second of the so-called “cookie-cutters” or “concrete doughnuts” built in the 1960s and 1970s. As time wore on, many visitors – including fans of its main tenant, the New York Mets – branded it a “dump. ”Shea had its drawbacks. Its location near Flushing Bay gave it something in common with San Francisco’s Candlestick Park. Winds swirled, and the cold could be fierce, especially in April – let alone during winter football games."

For instance, the best passers in NFL history started with Sammy Baugh and advanced through Otto Graham, Norm Van Brocklin, Y. A. Tittle, Johnny Unitas, John Elway, Dan Marino, Brett Favre and finally Peyton Manning and Drew Brees. The best dunkers in NBA history for sheer in-your-face nasty throwdowns begin with Connie Hawkins and move to Julius Erving, Dominique Wilkins, Michael Jordan and these days Blake Griffin.

By Tom Verducci O ne rainy February day in Las Vegas, home to a fake pyramid, a phony volcano, a faux Eiffel Tower, an ersatz New York skyline, a pirated copy of a pirate ship and the clever sleights-of-hand of magicians and plastic surgeons, Sam Thomas watched two men stretching a tape measure across South Hollywood Boulevard,reaffirming that there was at least one real deal in town. Thomas is the baseball coach at Las Vegas High, and the two men were his assistant coaches. The pair had come out in the rain to revisit the spot where, in a game the previous spring, a baseball had made landfall, a dimple in the desert, a tiny crater left in the sand by a home run off the bat of Las Vegas High catcher Bryce Harper, then a 15-year-old freshman. This is an article from the June 8, 2009 issue The lefthanded Harper had hit the ball over the rightfield fence, two trees, another fence, a sidewalk, five lanes of traffic on elevated South Hollywood Boulevard and yet another sidewalk, until it finally landed in the brown, undeveloped desert. It might as well have been a flying saucer, judging by the grin on Thomas's face as he recalls the distance the ball traveled. \"\" Five-seventeen,\"\" it sounds as if Thomas is saying."

S., 1981-1989; Republican Governor (CA)System that penalizes success and discourages work is wrong No doubt you work hard for your money--I know I do--and you should be permitted to keep more of it. Anything less creates a disincentive for a strong national work ethic. President Ronald Reagan saw it the same way:\"\"The more government takes in taxes, the less incentive people have to work. What coal miner or assembly-line worker jumps at the offer of overtime when he knows Uncle Sam is going to take sixty percent or more of his extra pay? Any system that penalizes success and accomplishment is wrong. Any system that discourages work, discourages productivity, discourages economic progress, is wrong. \"\" If, on the other hand, you reduce tax rats and allow people to spend or save more of what they earn, they'll become more industrious; they'll have more incentive to work hard, and money they earn will add fuel to the great economic machine that energizes our national progress. The result: more prosperity for all--and more revenue for government. \"\" Source: Time to Get Tough, by Donald Trump, p. 51-52 , Dec 5, 2011Op Ed: Cut capital gains to end worse recession than 2008's Our nation is facing great challenges, but I'm optimistic--ad I know there is a way forward.

Eugene Emery Jr. on Sunday, September 5th, 2010 at 12:01 a.m. John Loughlin, who is running in the Republican primary in the 1st Congressional District, is sounding a bipartisan theme in his call for cutting taxes as a solution to our economic problems. He tells viewers in his new web ad \"\"What we need to do is what John F. Kennedy did in 1961, which is cut taxes. What we need to do is what Ronald Reagan did in 1981, and cut taxes and enjoy exponential growth.\"\" Loughlin is echoing a popular Republican theme: If you want to grow the economy, cut taxes. The favorite example is Reagan, who was a big proponent of cutting taxes and reducing government spending. In his ad, Loughlin's unstated implication is that Reagan cut taxes and the economy grew explosively as a result. But is it really that simple? First, Reagan alone didn't cut taxes.

I'll try to capture some of the public mood. Reagan, though mostly a bit actor in his lengthy Hollywood days, used his considerable public speaking talents to portray his \"\"morning in America\"\" upbeat theme. The previous administration, in which the well-informed but listless Mondale had been VP, had been described, even by the previous Democratic President, as presiding over a public \"\"malaise.\"\" The result was a major contrast in style that became a long-lasting self-inflicted wound. That, plus incumbency, gave Reagan's campaign a lot of momentum into his second term. In one of the televised debates after Mondale gave a programmatic response, Reagan calmly and pleasantly, always smiling warmly, asked something like \"\"that's very interesting, but where's the meat? \"\" It stuck, and caused real harm through the rest of the campaign. Reagan and the Reep Party used the upbeat picture Reagan had painted to continue to capture southerners who historically were Democrats. It was called the \"\"southern strategy\"\", but it also captured northern blue collar workers who were later called \"\"Reagan Democrats\"\", and who had traditionally voted Democratic along with the labor unions."

Ronald Wilson Reagan was born in Tampico, Illinois, to Nelle Clyde (Wilson) and John Edward \"\"Jack\"\" Reagan, who was a salesman and storyteller. His father was of Irish descent, and his mother was of half Scottish and half English ancestry. A successful actor beginning in the 1930s, the young Reagan was a staunch admirer of President Franklin D. Roosevelt (even after he evolved into a Republican), and was a Democrat in the 1940s, a self-described 'hemophiliac' liberal. He was elected president of the Screen Actors Guild in 1947 and served five years during the most tumultuous times to ever hit Hollywood. A committed anti-communist, Reagan not only fought more-militantly activist movie industry unions that he and others felt had been infiltrated by communists, but had to deal with the investigation into Hollywood's politics launched by the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1947, an inquisition that lasted through the 1950s. The House Un-American Activities Committee investigations of Hollywood (which led to the jailing of the \"\"Hollywood Ten\"\" in the late '40s) sowed the seeds of the Mc Carthyism that racked Hollywood and America in the 1950s. In 1950, U. S. Representative Helen Gahagan Douglas (D-CA), the wife of \"\"Dutch\"\" Reagan's friend Melvyn Douglas, ran as a Democrat for the U. S. Senate and was opposed by the Republican nominee, the Red-bating Congressman from Whittier, Richard Nixon. While Nixon did not go so far as to accuse Gahagan Douglas of being a communist herself, he did charge her with being soft on communism due to her opposition to the House Un-American Activities Committee. Nixon tarred her as a \"\"fellow traveler\"\" of communists, a \"\"pinko\"\" who was \"\"pink right down to her underwear.\"\""

"text": "How Ronald Reagan Changed the World In the early 1980s, the American people elected Ronald Reagan as President of the United States of America. Many people claim that Reagan was one of the greatest presidents of all time, while others believe that the country would have been much better off had Reagan never been elected. Regardless of their political preferences, it is undeniable that Ronald Reagan changed the world in the 1980s and his work as president will be forever remembered in the countless books of history. Ronald Reagan ran as a Republican and was the absolute epitome of a conservative. He worked to bring forth the ideal of conservatism in America and successfully captured and isolated that belief in the presidency. As president, Reagan worked to bring the ideal of American exceptionalism back to the country, to set the economy on the right track, and to end the Communist threat that had been present since the end of World War II. For all practical purposes, Ronald Reagan was a president who accomplished more than he set forth to do and did so famously; some would say infamously. Nevertheless, Reagan accomplished more in his eight year presidency than most presidents of the 20th Century. He is widely hailed as the man who ended the Cold War and will forever be remembered as the man who led to the conservative resurgence in America. He was a man of profound ability and charisma and America is better off for having Reagan as the Commander-in-Chief during the latter portion of the 20th Century."

"text": "June 9, 2004Reagan: Media Myth and Reality By FAIRJune 9, 2004As the media spend the week memorializing Ronald Reagan, journalists are redefining the former president’s life and accomplishments with a stream of hagiographies that frequently skew the facts and gloss over scandal and criticism. Reagan’s Popularity“Ronald Reagan was the most popular president ever to leave office,” explained ABC anchor Elizabeth Vargas (6/6/04). “ His approval ratings were higher than any other at the end of his second term.” Though the claim was repeated by many news outlets, it is not true; Bill Clinton’s approval ratings when he left office were actually higher than Reagan’s, at 66 percent versus Reagan’s 63 percent (Gallup, 1/10-14-01). Franklin Delano Roosevelt also topped Reagan with a 66 percent approval rating at the time of his death in office after three and a half terms. In general, Reagan’s popularity during his two terms tends to be overstated. The Washington Post ‘s lead article on June 6 began by declaring him “one of the most popular presidents of the 20th Century,” while ABC ‘s Sam Donaldson announced, “Through travesty, triumph and tragedy, the president enjoyed unprecedented popularity.” The Chicago Tribune (6/6/04) wrote that “his popularity with the electorate was deep and personal… rarely did his popularity dip below 50 percent; it often exceeded 70 percent, an extraordinarily high mark. ”But a look at Gallup polling data brings a different perspective. Through most of his presidency, Reagan did not rate much higher than other post-World War II presidents."

He was called to active duty in spring 1942, a few months after the United States entered World War II. He wanted to serve overseas but was denied that request and given limited duty because of nearsightedness. Reagan was assigned to California Army posts and put to work on military training and morale films. Mostly, he was a narrator. Years later, during his political career, some critics ridiculed this form of service. But Reagan's biographers of various political stripes agree that he wanted to do something more substantial. He was loaned out to act in one feature film during the war, the flag-waving musical \"\"This Is the Army.\"\""

Ron caused a lot of controversy over the years by being a political advocate for many things that were the opposite of his father’s beliefs, including being a staunch liberal and an outspoken atheist. But he will be the first to say that his political beliefs didn’t affect his relationship with his dad. When his father got sick and passed away, Ron was right there by Nancy’s side, comforting her at the funeral and providing support. He provided an amazing eulogy for his dad and it’s obvious he inherited his father’s great talent for speaking. Here’s what you need to know.1.

There the decision makers face each other. No safety screen stands between the issues and the highest authorities. But what produces drama can also lead to problems and risks. Unpredictability was not a comforting prospect for meetings between the leaders of the two nuclear superpowers in an era of cold war antagonism. So the practice arose of choreographing every move and reaching agreement in advance on virtually every substantive detail of U. S.-Soviet summits. The events themselves were significant, but they were so highly programmed that the space reserved for innovation by the leaders was carefully circumscribed. Replete with ceremonial pomp and the focus of a vast media spotlight, summits had become something of a theatrical performance on a grand scale. Ronald Reagan did not like the format of a summit fully stage-managed from the bottom up. He had objected to his experiences in 1981 and 1982 at the economic summits held in Ottawa and Versailles with the heads of the seven leading industrial countries of the world."

Her death cannot have been a surprise, for her birth was premature—a precarious circumstance even with today’s advanced medicine, and all the more in 1947. Whatever warning her parents may have had had, it cannot have made her death any less heartbreaking. This is one of the worst things that can happen to anybody. Nothing, surely, can prepare one for it, and nobody can walk away from such an experience unaffected. But nobody is affected by such a tragedy in precisely the same way. We suffer according to our character, and we respond to our suffering likewise. Jane Wyman was a private woman, and so the particular nature of her suffering is none of our business."

"text": "\"Politics Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative: Looking Back a Quarter of a Century Latercweinberger | Friday Mar 21, 2008 2:01 AMShare on Facebook In 1983, the still \"\"new\"\" President Ronald Reagan announced an innovative change in our entire defense strategy, a program labeled the \"\"Strategic Defense Initiative,\"\" and known simply as SDI. But that name would not stand alone for long. Because what Reagan wanted to do was to develop a defensive shield against nuclear missiles. And, by God, that was just too threatening to the status quo, to the way things were usually being done to keep the peace concerning the obviously sensitive subject of nuclear bombs and the two great super powers, the United States and Russia, who had the lion’s share of those devices. Right up until Reagan’s proposal for a missile shield, the tacit understanding of nuclear defense was all caught up in something called \"\"MAD\"\" — \"\"mutual assured destruction\"\" — which assumed that no one would launch a nuclear first strike because the other side would respond in kind, resulting in the utter destruction of both sides. No one was supposed to suggest any other way of keeping the peace. The consensus view was we had to realize that the Russians were just like us and they would wipe us out if we wiped them out and since both sides realized this fact, no one would act: in chess parlance this was the big stalemate. No one would win, but no one would lose either because no one was crazy enough to launch the first nuclear missile. What a relief! Sort of…Ronald Reagan described the MAD concept in terms of a western movie plot of which he was of course, as an actor, most familiar: \"\"It was like have two westerners standing in a saloon aiming their guns at each other’s head-permanently."

"text": "\"Rosalind Franklin: A Crucial Contribution Rosalind Franklin A crucial contribution. Rosalind Franklin made a crucial contribution to the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA, but some would say she got a raw deal. Biographer Brenda Maddox called her the \"\"Dark Lady of DNA,\"\" based on a once disparaging reference to Franklin by one of her coworkers. Unfortunately, this negative appellation undermined the positive impact of her discovery. Indeed, Franklin is in the shadows of science history, for while her work on DNA was crucial to the discovery of its structure, her contribution to that landmark discovery is little known. Her education. Franklin was born on July 25, 1920, in London, to a wealthy Jewish family who valued education and public service. At age 18, she enrolled in Newnham Women's College at Cambridge University, where she studied physics and chemistry. After Cambridge she went to work for the British Coal Utilization Research Association where her work on the porosity of coal became her Ph. D. thesis, and later it would allow her to travel the world as an guest speaker."

"text": "\"Live Science Health Reference: Rosalind Franklin: Biography & Discovery of DNA Structure By Mary Bagley, Live Science Contributor | September 19, 2013 05:20pm ETMORERosalind Franklin Credit: National Institute of Health. Many people recall that the structure of the DNA molecule has the shape of a double helix. Some may even recall the names of the scientists who won the 1962 Nobel Prize in Medicine for modeling the structure of the molecule, and explaining how the shape lends itself to replication. James Watson and Francis Crick shared the Nobel Prize with Maurice Wilkins, but many people feel that much of the credit for this world-shaking achievement should rightfully go to someone who was absent from that stage, a woman named Rosalind Franklin. Rosalind Franklin was born July 25, 1920, and grew up in a well-known Jewish family in pre-World War II London, and was known in the family for being very clever and outspoken. Her parents sent her to St. Paul’s Girls’ School, a private school known for rigorous academics, including physics and chemistry. In an interview for PBS’ NOVA television episode titled \"\"The Secret of Photo 51,\"\" two of her friends recalled memories of Franklin’s school days. “She was best in science, best at maths, best in everything. She expected that if she undertook to do something, she would be in charge of it.” By the age of 15, over objections from her father, who thought she should go into social work; Franklin decided to become a scientist."

DNA - The Molecule of Life Deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA is the hereditary material present in the cells of all humans and other living organisms. DNA is a nucleic acid generally regarded as a blueprint, a recipe or a code of an organism. The blueprint contains instructions which enable development of cells in to body. And also controls the characteristics featured in a fully functional living structure through genes. The very first cell in a living being is formed when egg and sperm get mingled. At that point DNA molecule renders the entire genetic code to be used for the formulation of cells forever in that creature.

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories History, Politics & Society Society and Civilization Famous People Scientists Watson Crick Franklin and Wilkins Why is RNA not a double helix? Flag Why is RNA not a double helix? Answer by Ccozens Confidence votes 10RNA does form a double helix. It is unlike DNA in so far as RNA will typically form an A-form helix, whereas DNA alters between A-form and B-form helices, with the B-form being more common in cells. The switch between A and B form DNA is controlled, at least in part, by humidity - something discovered by Rosalind Franklin in 1953 when she was working on solving the structure of DNA. The structure of DNA was actually solved by James Watson and Francis Crick at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge (UK), although they could not have done it without the work of Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins (see the Nobel Prize website1 for more info on their work). The double helical nature of nucleic acids is due to hydrogen bonding between the bases, which are identical in DNA and RNA (with the exception of 1: DNA contains thymidine; RNA contains uracil in its place). This means that DNA-DNA double helices, DNA-RNA double helices and RNA-RNA double helices can be formed. 1 http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/1962/index.html19 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "\"James Watson & Francis Crick It took an ex-physicist and a former ornithology student — along with some unwitting help from a competitor — to crack the secret of life By ROBERT WRIGHT for Time Magazine On Feb. 28, 1953, Francis Crick walked into the Eagle pub in Cambridge, England, and, as James Watson later recalled, announced that \"\"we had found the secret of life.\"\" Actually, they had. That morning, Watson and Crick had figured out the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA. And that structure — a \"\"double helix\"\" that can \"\"unzip\"\" to make copies of itself — confirmed suspicions that DNA carries life's hereditary information. Not until decades later, in the age of genetic engineering, would the Promethean power unleashed that day become vivid. But from the beginning, the Watson and Crick story had traces of hubris. As told in Watson's classic memoir, \"\"The Double Helix,\"\" it was a tale of boundless ambition, impatience with authority and disdain, if not contempt, for received opinion. (\"\" A goodly number of scientists,\"\" Watson explained, \"\"are not only narrow-minded and dull but also just stupid.\"\") Yet the Watson and Crick story is also one of sublime harmony, an example, as a colleague put it, of \"\"that marvelous resonance between two minds — that high state in which 1 plus 1 does not equal 2 but more like 10.\"\" The men were in some ways an odd pair."

"text": "U. S. Francis Crick, Co-Discoverer of DNA, Dies at 88By NICHOLAS WADE JULY 30, 2004Correction Appended Francis H. C. Crick, co-discoverer of the structure of DNA, the genetic blueprint for life, and the leading molecular biologist of his age, died on Wednesday night in a hospital in San Diego. He was 88. He died after a long battle with colon cancer, said Andrew Porterfield, a spokesman for the Salk Institute, where he worked. Dr. Crick laid the foundations of molecular biology in a sustained burst of creativity that began in 1953 with the discovery of the structure of DNA, the hereditary material, in Cambridge, England, and ended about 13 years later with the subject's primary problems solved, most of them either by Dr. Crick or by scientists in his circle. The discovery of the structure of DNA resolved longstanding questions about the nature of the hereditary material and the manner in which it is copied as one generation succeeds another. The proposal for the structure, almost immediately accepted, was electrifying to scientists not only because of its inherent elegance but also because it showed how biology, evolution and the nature of life itself could ultimately be explained in terms of physics and chemistry. Indeed, the desire to replace religious with rational explanations of life was a principal motivation of Dr. Crick's career. So central is DNA to biology that the names of Francis H. C. Crick and James D. Watson, his American colleague in the discovery, may be remembered as long as those of Darwin and Mendel, the architects of the two pillars of modern biology, the theory of evolution and the laws of genetics. Some consequences of understanding the structure of DNA are already familiar, from linking suspects to crime scene evidence to manipulating it to make genetically engineered crops. But these are just foretastes of a gene-based medical revolution that is expected to unfold in the years ahead now that the human genome -- about three billion units of DNA, encoding all the biological information needed to generate and maintain a living person -- has been deciphered."

In short order, their discovery yielded ground-breaking insights into the genetic code and protein synthesis. During the 1970s and 1980s, it helped to produce new and powerful scientific techniques, specifically recombinant DNA research, genetic engineering, rapid gene sequencing, and monoclonal antibodies, techniques on which today's multi-billion dollar biotechnology industry is founded. Major current advances in science, namely genetic fingerprinting and modern forensics, the mapping of the human genome, and the promise, yet unfulfilled, of gene therapy, all have their origins in Watson and Crick's inspired work. The double helix has not only reshaped biology, it has become a cultural icon, represented in sculpture, visual art, jewelry, and toys. Researchers working on DNA in the early 1950s used the term \"\"gene\"\" to mean the smallest unit of genetic information, but they did not know what a gene actually looked like structurally and chemically, or how it was copied, with very few errors, generation after generation. In 1944, Oswald Avery had shown that DNA was the \"\"transforming principle,\"\" the carrier of hereditary information, in pneumococcal bacteria. Nevertheless, many scientists continued to believe that DNA had a structure too uniform and simple to store genetic information for making complex living organisms. The genetic material, they reasoned, must consist of proteins, much more diverse and intricate molecules known to perform a multitude of biological functions in the cell. Crick and Watson recognized, at an early stage in their careers, that gaining a detailed knowledge of the three-dimensional configuration of the gene was the central problem in molecular biology."

He called the compound \"\"nuclein.\"\" This is today called nucleic acid, the \"\"NA\"\" in DNA (deoxyribo-nucleic-acid) and RNA (ribo-nucleic-acid). Francis Crick and James Watson, 1953."

"text": "Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid present in the cells of all living organisms. It is often referred to as the “building blocks of life,” since it encodes the genetic material that determines what an organism will develop into. In addition to maintaining the genetic blueprints for its parent organism, DNA also performs a number of other functions which are critical to life. This nucleic acid was first identified in 1889, when researcher Friedrich Miescher found a substance he called “nuclein” in human cells. In the early 20th century, several researchers, including Phoebus Levene and William Astbury, performed additional research on nuclein, beginning to understand its components, structure, and role in life. A seminal article published in Nature in 1953 by James Watson and Franklin Crick is often cited as the breakthrough moment, as it correctly posited the distinct structure of this acid, with significant help from scientist Rosalind Franklin. DNA is composed of chains of nucleotides built on a sugar and phosphate backbone and wrapped around each other in the form of a double helix. The backbone supports four bases: guanine, cytosine, adenine, and thymine. Guanine and cytosine are complementary, always appearing opposite each other on the helix, as are adenine and thymine. This is critical in the reproduction of the genetic material, as it allows a strand to divide and copy itself, since it only needs half of the material in the helix to duplicate successfully."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Biology What is the structure of a DNA molecule? Thank you!Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: A molecule of DNA is double-stranded. The molecule has the shape of a double helix, typically right handed (B form DNA). The DNA molecule consists of two complementary strands oriented in an antiparallel fashion. Each strand is composed of nucleotides. A nucleotide consists of a base (a purine or pyrimidine), a sugar (between the other two components) named deoxyribose, and a phosphate group. Nucleotides are linked to each other via phosphodiester bonds, forming a sugar-phosphate backbone to each strand. The base of each nucleotide projects into the interior cavity of the helix. Each base is opposite another base: adenine (a purine) is always paired with thymine (a pyrimidine), and guanine (purine) with cytosine (pyrimidine); this phenomenon is called complementary base pairing. Each nucleotide forms hydrogen bonds with its complementary base on the other strand."

"text": "Home / Learn / Historical Biographies At King’s College London, Rosalind Franklin obtained images of DNA using X-ray crystallography, an idea first broached by Maurice Wilkins. Franklin’s images allowed James Watson and Francis Crick to create their famous two-strand, or double-helix, model. In 1962 Watson (b. 1928), Crick (1916–2004), and Wilkins (1916–2004) jointly received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their 1953 determination of the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Wilkins’s colleague Franklin (1920–1958), who died from cancer at the age of 37, was not so honored. The reasons for her exclusion have been debated and are still unclear. There is a Nobel Prize stipulation that states “in no case may a prize amount be divided between more than three persons.” The fact she died before the prize was awarded may also have been a factor, although the stipulation against posthumous awards was not instated until 1974. Discovering the Structure of DNAThe molecule that is the basis for heredity, DNA, contains the patterns for constructing proteins in the body, including the various enzymes. A new understanding of heredity and hereditary disease was possible once it was determined that DNA consists of two chains twisted around each other, or double helixes, of alternating phosphate and sugar groups, and that the two chains are held together by hydrogen bonds between pairs of organic bases—adenine (A) with thymine (T), and guanine (G) with cytosine (C). Modern biotechnology also has its basis in the structural knowledge of DNA—in this case the scientist’s ability to modify the DNA of host cells that will then produce a desired product, for example, insulin."

July 1, 2014 by Karen Hill | Filed Under: Science By the 1850s, people still didn’t know exactly what caused disease. There were many theories, but none were based on scientific principles. In 1858, the German physician Rudolf Virchow offered the first clue with his cell theory. He said the cell, which Dutch inventor Antoni van Leeuwenhoek had seen 200 years earlier, was the basic unit of human life and that disease occurs when the function of cells is disrupted. From this, he developed the science of pathology, the study of diseased body tissue. Virchow applied his cell theory to both diseased and healthy tissue and asserted that diseased cells are produced by healthy cells. For example, the first malignant cell in cancer is born from a healthy cell. It’s called a mutation, and it produces more cancerous cells. Virchow proposed that a study of cells would explain what causes disease in the body."

Zaykoski•updated: 3/6/2017The theory of biogenesis states that living things can only arise from living things and cannot be spontaneously generated. Learn more about this popular microbiology theory to better understand what it means. The Spontaneous generation hypothesis proposed by scientists to explain the origin of the “animalcules\"\" observed by Antoni van Leeuwenhoek in his magnifying lenses had received wide acceptance all over Europe from Antoni’s time until the time of Louis Pasteur. Erroneous experimental set up, results, and conclusions of some scientists had supported and strengthened the hypothesis. For example, the Englishman John Needham claimed that vital life is needed for the spontaneous generation of microbes. He added that the reason why no living organisms emerged from heated and sealed solutions in containers is that the “vital life\"\" was destroyed by the heat and new “vital life\"\" was not supplied to the solutions because they cannot enter the sealed containers. Fortunately, there were scientists skeptical about the hypothesis, so they designed their own experimental set up and from the results they gathered, they drew the most feasible explanation on the origin of the “animalcules\"\". Among the scientists was the Italian Lazzaro Spallanzani who opposed Needham’s idea of the “vital life\"\" (Go back to part 1 of this series to read on Spallanzani’s argument). Proponents and opponents of spontaneous generation hypothesis debated a lot starting from the time Leeuwenhoek presented his discoveries (1670s) to the public until the time of Rudolf Virchow, who in 1858 challenged the spontaneous generation with his concept and definition of biogenesis. This concept claims that living cells can arise only from preexisting living cells."

"title": "https://www.britannica.com/science/cell-biology/The-process-of-differentiation\nThe process of differentiation",
"text": "The process of differentiation Differentiation from visibly undifferentiated precursor cells occurs during embryonic development, during metamorphosis of larval forms, and following the separation of parts in asexual reproduction. It also takes place in adult organisms during the renewal of tissues and the regeneration of missing parts. Thus, cell differentiation is an essential and ongoing process at all stages of life. The visible differentiation of cells is only the last of a progressive sequence of states. In each state, the cell becomes increasingly committed toward one type of cell into which it can develop. States of commitment are sometimes described as “specification” to represent a reversible type of commitment and as “determination” to represent an irreversible commitment. Although states of specification and determination both represent differential gene activity, the properties of embryonic cells are not necessarily the same as those of fully differentiated cells. In particular, cells in specification states are usually not stable over prolonged periods of time. Two mechanisms bring about altered commitments in the different regions of the early embryo: cytoplasmic localization and induction. Cytoplasmic localization is evident in the earliest stages of development of the embryo."

"text": "\"<- Robert Remak Identifies the Cell Membrane in Cell Division|| Timeline ||Rudolf Virchow Endorses Cell Division and its Role in Pathology Who: Rudolf Virchow When: January 01, 1858 Why: To advocate and popularize the theory that all cells form from other cells Methods: Drawing upon published information Institution: University of Berlin Where: Berlin, Germany Rudolf Virchow Every so often science is graced with a person who can become master of his field, rival politicians, and write to motivate masses. Rudolf Virchow (1821-1902) was both a scientist and a politician, who authored books ranging from Cellular Pathology to The History of The Phillipines. He championed universal education, freedom of the individual, and the government's roll in public welfare, founding the field of public health. 1In 1858 Virchow championed the work of Robert Remak, who had found convincing evidence that cells form by division. At that time Schwann's and Schleiden's physio-chemical explanation dominated the theory on the origin of cells, and Virchow would have to draw upon his subtle political and literary skills to popularize Remak's ideas. From Cellular Pathology: Development of cancer from connective tissue in the carcinoma of the breast. a. Connective-tissue corpuscles, b, division of the nuclei, c, division of the cells, d, accumulation of the cells in rows, e, enlargement of the young cells and formation of the groups of cells which fill the alveoli of cancer, f, further enlargement of the cells and the groups. g. The same developmental process seen in transverse section. 300 diameters. Virchow did this by first publishing an editorial instead of a scientific journal, knowing that editorials were more widely read by medical professionals."

Circa 1938, Ruth Graves Wakefield added chopped up bits from a Nestlé semi-sweet chocolate bar into a cookie. The traditional recipe combines a dough composed of butter and both brown and white sugar, semi-sweet chocolate chips and vanilla.

"text": "\"Browse > Home > Biographies Ruth Wakefield Ruth Wakefield (née Ruth Jones Graves, 17 June 1903 to 10 January 1977) is the inventor of Toll House Cookies, which today we just call Chocolate Chip Cookies. At the time, though, she was actually more well-known for running what many considered one of the best eating places in America. Ruth was born in East Walpole, Massachusetts to Fred Luther Graves (1875 - 1942) and Helen Vest Jones Graves (1880 - ?). In August 1915, when Ruth was 12, her father remarried to Harriette Ruggles Graves. In 1924, she graduated from the Framingham State Normal School Department of Household Arts (now Framingham State University) in Framingham, Massachusetts, and worked from that autumn in 1924 until 1926 as a home economics teacher at Brockton High School, Brockton, MA. On 26 June 1926, she married Kenneth Donald Wakefield (1897 - 1997) in North Easton, Bristol, Massachusetts. The couple had at least two children: a son Kenneth Donald Wakefield, Jr. (1928 - 1993) and a daughter, Mary Jane. Between 1926 and 1930, Ruth also worked as a hospital dietitian, and as a home service director for a gas and electric company. In 1930, Ruth and Ken took what was their life savings to date, and purchased a Cape Cod-style toll house just outside of Whitman, Plymouth County, Massachusetts on the road from New Bedford to Boston. Built in 1709, it had been an inn where people could enjoy a meal while the stagecoaches were changing horses and the road tolls were being paid."

Open Document In the game of Baseball there are nine fielding positions. Each position is associated with a scorekeepers’ numerical number (from 1-9) to be used in scoring putouts. Each player has a special job associated with that position to help the team win. The game’s most important positions are the pitcher and the catcher. They are what the team revolves around and are called the “battery.” The pitcher’s position is known numerically as number (1) and the catcher’s is number (2). They control the tempo and intensity of the game. The pitcher’s job is to deliver the ball to home plate, keep the ball in the strike zone, and retire the batter by strike out, force out or fly ball. He must also field his position by catching pop flies, charging bunts, and back up the first baseman or catcher when necessary. He must have stamina and strong nerves."

In America, a cookie is described as a thin, sweet, usually small cake. By definition, a cookie can be any of a variety of hand-held, flour-based sweet cakes, either crisp or soft. Each country has its own word for “cookie.” We know as cookies are called biscuits in England and Australia, in Spain they’re galletas. Germans call them keks or Plzchen for Christmas cookies, and in Italy there are several names to identify various forms of cookies including amaretti and biscotti, and so on. The name cookie is derived from the Dutch word koekje, meaning “small or little cake.” Biscuit comes from the Latin word bis coctum, which means, “twice baked. ”According to culinary historians, the first historic record of cookies was their use as test cakes. A small amount of cake batter was baked to test the oven temperature.7th Century A. D. – The earliest cookie-style cakes are thought to date back to 7th century Persia A. D. (now Iran), one of the first countries to cultivate sugar (luxurious cakes and pastries in large and small versions were well known in the Persian empire)."

"text": "A Fable Agreed Upon Posted on September 2, 2012 by Carrie Zeman Napoleon Bonaparte is said to have mused, “What is history but a fable agreed upon?”*****In July, 1918 the Minnesota historical community was buzzing: the Minnesota Historical Society (MHS) Bulletin had just published a recently discovered letter written by John P. Williamson to his father, Thomas S. Williamson, from Crow Creek, South Dakota in May, 1863. The letter read in part:“…Whether Agent Galbraith is going to come around here [to Crow Creek] & be our Agent I doubt some, though some who saw him said he expected to come around in a week or so afterwards. And Dr. Wakefield told me he was coming around with him, though I hope to never see him out here & all the Indians wish the same thing most heartily.” [ i]The buzz was about not about the letter, but about the annotation written by MHS Superintendent Solon J. Buck. It read:“The reference is probably to Galbraith rather than to Wakefield. Galbraith was a political appointee without any special qualifications for the position of Indian Agent. His incompetence may have been a factor in bringing about the outbreak in 1862.”William Watts Folwell, at the time researching volume two of A History of Minnesota, sniffed the whiff of a story, sat down at his trusty typewriter and pounded out a query to one of his favorite sources on the Sioux Agency, Samuel J. Brown. Brown had been Galbraith’s interpreter at Crow Creek in 1863. Brown replied to Folwell on July 25, 1918:“I was very much interested in Rev. John P. Williamson’s letter to his mother w. published in the last number of the Bulletin. I arrived at St. Joseph’s (Mo.) about a week after he left, and with Major Galbraith, Dr. Wakefield and others, went up from there with the Winnebagos [sic] arriving at Crow Creek early in June — 7 th I think."

It officially separated from Lynn and incorporated as Reading in 1644 when the first church (First Parish Congregational Church) and the first mill were established. This first corn mill was built on the Mill River on Water Street, and later small saw mills were built on the Mill River and the Saugus River. The old parish church became known as the Old or South Parish when in 1713 the North Parish was established. This North Parish later became the town of North Reading. In 1769 the West Parish was established."

Vaccines can prevent or ameliorate infectious disease. When a sufficiently large percentage of a population has been vaccinated, herd immunity results. The effectiveness of vaccination has been widely studied and verified. [ 1] [2] [3] Vaccination is the most effective method of preventing infectious diseases; [4] widespread immunity due to vaccination is largely responsible for the worldwide eradication of smallpox and the elimination of diseases such as polio, measles, and tetanus from much of the world. Smallpox was most likely the first disease people tried to prevent by inoculation. [ 5] [6] and was the first disease for which a vaccine was produced. The smallpox vaccine was invented in 1796 by the British physician Edward Jenner and although at least six people had used the same principles years earlier he was the first to publish evidence that it was effective and to provide advice on its production. [ 7] Louis Pasteur furthered the concept through his work in microbiology. The immunization was called vaccination because it was derived from a virus affecting cows ( Latin: vacca 'cow'). ["

The Curse of the Bambino was a superstition evolving from the failure of the Boston Red Sox baseball team to win the World Series in the 86-year period from 1918 to 2004. While some fans took the curse seriously, most used the expression in a tongue-in-cheek manner. [ 1] This misfortune began after the Red Sox sold star player Babe Ruth, sometimes nicknamed as \"\"The Bambino\"\", to the New York Yankees in the off-season of 1919–1920. [ 2] Before that point, the Red Sox had been one of the most successful professional baseball franchises, winning the first World Series and amassing five World Series titles. [ 3] After the sale, they went without a title for nearly a century as the previously lackluster Yankees became one of the most successful franchises in North American professional sports. [ 4] The curse became a focal point of the Yankees–Red Sox rivalry over the years. Talk of the curse as an ongoing phenomenon ended in 2004, when the Red Sox came back from a 0–3 best-of-seven deficit to beat the Yankees in the 2004 American League Championship Series (ALCS) and then went on to sweep the St. Louis Cardinals to win the 2004 World Series. [ 5] The curse had been such a part of Boston culture that when a \"\"reverse curve\"\" road sign on Longfellow Bridge over the city's busy Storrow Drive was graffitied to read \"\"Reverse The Curse\"\", [6] officials left it in place until after the Red Sox won the 2004 Series. After the Red Sox won the last game of the World Series that year, the road sign was edited to read \"\"Curse Reversed\"\" in celebration. ["

He was a gastroenterologist until he was struck off the UK medical register for unethical behaviour and other misconduct. In 1998 he authored a fraudulent research paper claiming that there was a link between the administration of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine and the appearance of autism and bowel disease.

On 28 January 2010, a five-member statutory tribunal of the GMC found three dozen charges proved, including four counts of dishonesty and 12 counts involving the abuse of developmentally delayed children. [ 14] The panel ruled that Wakefield had \"\"failed in his duties as a responsible consultant\"\", acted both against the interests of his patients, and \"\"dishonestly and irresponsibly\"\" in his published research.

Born in 1905, Wakefield grew up to be a dietician and food lecturer after graduating from the Framingham State Normal School Department of Household Arts in 1924. Along with her husband Kenneth, she bought a tourist lodge named the Toll House Inn, where she prepared the recipes for meals that were served to guests. In 1930, Wakefield was mixing a batch of cookies for her roadside inn guests when she discovered that she was out of baker's chocolate. She substituted broken pieces of Nestle's semi-sweet chocolate, expecting it to melt and absorb into the dough to create chocolate cookies. That didn't happen, but the surprising result helped to make Ruth Wakefield one of the 20th century's most famous women inventors. When she removed the pan from the oven, Wakefield realized that she had accidentally invented \"\"chocolate chip cookies. \"\" At the time, she called her creations \"\"Toll House Crunch Cookies.\"\" They became extremely popular locally, and the recipe was soon published in a Boston newspaper. As the popularity of the Toll House Crunch Cookie increased, the sales of Nestle's semi-sweet chocolate bars also spiked."

The Red Sox compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the American League (AL) East division. The Red Sox have won eight World Serieschampionships and have played in twelve. Founded in 1901 as one of the American League's eight charter franchises, the Red Sox' home ballpark has been Fenway Park since 1912. The \"\"Red Sox\"\" name was chosen by the team owner, John I. Taylor, around 1908, following the lead of previous teams that had been known as the \"\" Boston Red Stockings \"\", including the forerunner of the Atlanta Braves. Boston was a dominant team in the new league, defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first World Series in 1903 and winning four more championships by 1918. However, they then went into one of the longest championship droughts in baseball history, dubbed the \"\" Curse of the Bambino \"\" after its alleged beginning with the Red Sox' sale of Babe Ruth to the rival New York Yankees two years after their world championship in 1918, an 86-year wait before the team's sixth World Championship in 2004. The team's history during that period was punctuated with some of the most memorable moments in World Series history, including Enos Slaughter 's \"\" mad dash \"\" in 1946, the \"\" Impossible Dream \"\" of 1967, Carlton Fisk 's home run in 1975, and Bill Buckner 's error in 1986."

They turned it into the Toll House Inn, which became known for its lobster dinners and Mrs Wakefield's cookies for dessert. It is said that on a busy but fateful day in 1930, the Toll House Inn ran out of bakers' chocolate, a necessary ingredient for her \"\"Butter Drop Do\"\" cookies, and Mrs Wakefield substituted a Nestle's Chocolate Bar, cut it into tiny pieces, thinking that the chocolate bits would melt into the batter as the cookies baked. Instead the chips became hot and soft, and made the cookies even more delicious. The story is charming but dubious. Mrs Wakefield had worked as a cook, dietician, and restauranteur, had prepared chocolatey recipes thousands of times, and certainly would have known that chocolate chips dropped into batter would not dissipate and simply become chocolate cookies. Much more likely, she expected the cookies would turn out exactly as they did, with little luscious liquidy lumps of chocolate dispersed throughout. Whatever the genesis of her genius, \"\"Toll House cookies\"\" became the most famous item on the menu at the Toll House Inn, and in 1939, responding to the recipe's increasing popularity, Nestlé started selling pre-packaged chocolate chips. The Wakefields sold the restaurant when they retired in 1966, and Mrs Wakefield died in 1977. The Toll House Inn was destroyed by a fire in 1984."

"text": "rebel revel Sal Mineo, Murdered Forty Years Ago Today, Was Also Victim Of Entertainment Industry Homophobia By editors February 12, 2016 at 1:02pm · 37 comments On the night of February 12, 1976, actor Sal Mineo returned home following a rehearsal for the play P. S. Your Cat Is Dead. After parking his car in the carport below his West Hollywood apartment, the 37-year-old actor was stabbed in the heart by a mugger who quickly fled the scene. Police pursued all kinds of leads but assumed the crime to be the result of some sort of “homosexual motivation.” Three years later, pizza deliveryman Lionel Ray Williams was convicted of the murder, in addition to a number of local robberies. Williams, who claimed he had no idea who the actor was at the time of the stabbing, had bragged about the murder and his wife later confirmed that on the night Mineo died, Williams had come home with blood on his shirt. He was paroled in the early 1990s. Mineo made his initial mark in 1955’s Rebel Without a Cause , as Plato, a bullied teen, understandably lovestruck at the first sight of James Dean’s character. The role would earn him an Academy Award nomination as best supporting actor and establish him as a major heartthrob to teenagers of the era. The next year he appeared in a small role in another Dean film, Giant. He launched a briefly successful recording career, headlined several motion pictures that played up his status as a rebel icon, and would garner another Oscar nod for 1960’s epic Exodus ."

Duke died early Tuesday morning in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, of “sepsis from a ruptured intestine,” according to a statement from her manager. She was 69 years old. In 1963, when she was just 16, she became the youngest person at the time to win an Oscar for supporting actress for her portrayal of Helen Keller in “The Miracle Worker,” a role she originated on Broadway. “I don’t think it will change things for me,” the starlet told The Times after she won. “ I’m still just one of the kids. ”The truth was more complicated. Duke’s life was marked with both success and struggle."

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( January 2009) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Trade (also known as Chow [1]) is a gay slang term originating from Polari, the coded language among English subcultures, and usually refers to the casual partner of a gay man or to the genre of such pairings. [ 2] Men falling in the category of \"\"trade\"\" are not gay-identified. Historically the motivations may at times include a desire for emotional fulfillment and admiration, but the term often refers to a straight man who partners with a gay man for economic benefit, either through a direct cash payment or through other, more subtle means (gifts, tuition payments, etc.). [ 2] Trade originally referred to casual sex partners, regardless of sexuality as many gay and bisexual men were closeted, but evolved to imply the gay partner is comparatively wealthy and the partner who is trade is economically deprived. [ 2] Examples of this include wealthy Englishmen finding partners among deprived Cockneys in 1930s London; traveling men finding partners in places such as Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Bangkok, Thailand and locals picking up military personnel who are generally seen as being physically appealing and eager for extra income or benefits.

"text": "A List of James Dean’s (Alleged) Gay Lovers By James St. James on March 17, 2016 12:50 pm Was he or wasn’t he? I think we’d all like to BELIEVE that James Dean was gay – or at least bisexual – and that if we were around at the time we’d have a shot with him. According to Homo History: There are conflicting reports about Dean’s sexuality; there are a few who try to deny that he had any sexual affairs with men, there are those who say that he was bisexual and some who say that he was exclusively gay (those include Rebel without a Cause director Nicholas Ray and screenwriter Gavin Lambert . ) Dean publicly dated women and privately dated men such as the actors Clifton Webb, Brando, Jack Simmons, Bill Bast as well as the producer Rogers Brackett. James Dean avoided the draft by registering as a homosexual. Later, when questioned if he was homosexual he is reported to have said, “No, I am not a homosexual. But, I’m also not going to go through life with one hand tied behind my back. ”Rumors about Dean’s sexuality began to spread as his fame increased and he quickly became engaged to the actress Pier Angeli. Angeli abruptly broke off that engagement which led to further speculation. At a time when it was impossible for male leads to be openly gay, it wasn’t at all unusual for gay actors like Rock Hudson to enter into sham marriages."

The film stars John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John, Stockard Channing, and Jeff Conaway.

"text": "\"They can deny him radio spins—at least for now—but they can’t deny his talent. Who is Andy Mineo? He’s one of only a handful of rappers to reach the #1 spot on i Tunes Hip Hop chart without being a household name within the genre. Mineo was also the one wylin’ on MTV Rap Fix. In a cypher hosted by Sway and featuring 360, Emilio Rojas and Bizzy Crook, the Reach Records artist gave us bars like the following:“Man, back up give me two feet like an ottoman / It’s obvious I’m out of your league like Jackie Robinson / Fake studio thugs be talking ‘bout their llamas when / the only Eagle you seen throwing bullets was Donovan. ”A native of Syracuse, New York, the Italian rapper grew up in a single-parent home. Issues of anger and aggression led to him being kicked out of public school, but he was able to focus all of his energy into music. Mineo and a friend built a studio in his basement. A close inspection of Mineo’s lyrics show that he has wrestled through that anger and bitterness and found a way to provide hope to others.

S. from Sicily. His siblings were Michael, Victor and Sarina. Sal was thrown out of parochial school and, by age eight, was a member of a street gang in a tough Bronx neighborhood. His mother enrolled him in dancing school and, after being arrested for robbery at age ten, he was given a choice of juvenile confinement or professional acting school. He soon appeared in the theatrical production \"\"The Rose Tattoo\"\" with Maureen Stapleton and Eli Wallach and as the young prince in \"\"The King and I\"\" with Gertrude Lawrence and Yul Brynner. At age 16 he played a much younger boy in Six Bridges to Cross (1955) with Tony Curtis and later that same year played Plato in James Dean 's Rebel Without a Cause (1955). He was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in this film and again for his role as Dov Landau in Exodus (1960). Expanding his repertoire, Mineo returned to the theatre to direct and star in the play \"\"Fortune and Men's Eyes\"\" with successful runs in both New York and Los Angeles. In the late 1960s and 1970s he continued to work steadily in supporting roles on TV and in film, including Dr. Milo in Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971) and Harry O (1973)."

Die emosioneel verwonde persoon word soms op verskeie vlakke van die lewe gekortwiek as gevolg van hierdie emosionele pyn.

"text": "profile June 21, 2014 7:00 a.m. Ellar Coltrane Spent 12 Years Acting for Richard Linklater. Now What? By Boris Kachka Share Tweet Share Email On a hot, humid day in Ellar Coltrane’s last spring as a teenager, nothing is going as planned. The star of Richard Linklater’s new film, Boyhood, a feat of conceptual daring that tracks a fictional boy over episodes spanning 12 years, shot in bursts spanning 12 actual years, Coltrane has just returned to Austin after a month of “adventuring” through the Southwest with his father, a rock musician, and leaves tomorrow for a film festival in Australia. Now on the precipice of not just adulthood but a level of fame that plainly terrifies him, he has one afternoon to see his mother, a dancer and equine therapist; retrieve a printer from a friend’s landlady; indulge a reporter’s questions; lie in wet grass for a photo shoot; and, if he can manage it, take his first swim of the year in Barton Springs Pool. “ They switched my flight a day ahead without telling me,” Coltrane says, while picking out a $5 pair of silver swim trunks at the Goodwill on South Lamar Boulevard. “ But, you know, it’s fine. ”Coltrane, who will turn 20 in August, has spent almost all his life here in “keep it weird” Austin — mostly home-schooled except for three years of high school, followed by a GED; landscaping work for his stepfather; photography and painting in the trippy vein of Alex Grey; and the slow-burn emotional time bomb of a movie formerly known as “The 12-Year Project.” Linklater’s deep-focus, pseudo-v é rité coming-of-age story was designed to capture a fictional family in messy real time — the mutable boy, Mason (Coltrane); his straight-A sister, Samantha (Linklater’s daughter, Lorelei); and their divorced parents (Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette). Every year before the usually four-day-long shoot, Linklater would hold a week of rehearsals, dinners, and collaborative rewrites — a process also used in Linklater’s Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, and Before Midnight."

I have talked to a couple Marines who mentioned actually hearing the rattle of the dustcovers on Japanese rifles as they were being worked during lulls. I actually heard two distinctive clicks, loud as hell once that I am sure was an AK being switched from safe to rocknroll. Itwas in very thick bush and very close. Unnerving as all getout.

"text": "October 2, 2013Sal Mineo: One Of Hollywood’s First Openly Gay Actors Featured In James Franco Biopic Movies Nathan Francis Sal Mineo has a life story that plays out like a Hollywood movie. The actor starred opposite James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause and earned two Academy Award nominations for Best Supporting Actor. He later became one of the first openly gay actors in Hollywood, but saw his comeback attempt meet a violent end, dying in an alley in West Hollywood after being stabbed several times. Now his life is literally a Hollywood movie. Actor James Franco made a film about Mineo’s final hours, and though it was actually made a couple of years ago the movie is just coming out later this month. The film, Sal, is set to appear on VOD and i Tunes starting October 22. This week the first trailer for Sal was released. Though Sal will focus on the end of his life, Mineo has quite the intriguing story leading up to that point. He was born in the Bronx and enrolled in dancing and acting school at a young age. He started his career working on the stage, appearing opposite Yul Brynner in The King and I. Brynner took Sal Mineo under his wing, helping out the young actor as he transitioned to television, where he appeared in the musical quiz program Jukebox Jury."

This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed. Show Caption Several media outlets have criticized the 2016 Oscars not only due to the lack of nominee diversity, but also the alleged snub of an up-and-coming actor. Nine-year-old Jacob Tremblay stole hearts with his acceptance speech at the Critics’ Choice Awards but failed to achieve an Oscar nomination for his performance in the drama “Room.” Was Tremblay too young? Far from being a pint-sized novelty in Hollywood, child actors have a long history of competing for the prestigious award. The team at Pretty Famous queried its celebrity database to compile the youngest Oscar nominees and winners. * This impressive group of 22 competed against Hollywood veterans before they reached their 18th birthdays. Although these young stars had a valuable jump-start in the industry, did their careers continue to burn brightly or sizzle out?

"text": "\"Did Sam Kinison Speak With Angels? The Revealing Death of Sam Kinison It was about 8:30 P. M. Friday night on April 10, 1992, when comedian Sam Kinison was killed in a head on collision with a pickup truck. Kinison had just been married a week before and was travelling from Los Angeles with his newlywed wife, Malika, to a sold out performance in Laughlin, Nevada. Kinison was completely sober, and drug free at that point in his life, but the teenagers barreling down the wrong side of the highway that night were smashed out of their minds. Sam had seen the truck coming, and slowed his Trans Am down to just 15 miles per hour, but he wasn't wearing his seat belt. At impact he was thrown into the windshield, and suffered multiple traumatic injuries. In the first moments after impact Kinison seemed as if he were going to make it, but within minutes he appeared to know he was about to die. Witnesses stated that Kinison appeared to be holding a conversation in which he stated, \"\"I don't want to die. I don't want to die.\"\" As the conversation continued Sam said, \"\"But why?\"\""

Foul-mouthed and abrasive, he was one in an extended type of comedic performers whose materials stretched the limitations of decency and great taste with their breaking stage; unlike pioneers including Lenny Bruce and George Carlin, nevertheless, Clay’s routines didn’t evolve out of directed cultural satire or trenchant politics commentary, but simply a need to be as lewd and surprising as humanly feasible. Clay was racist, homophobic, and misogynistic, and even though his rise to popularity was meteoric, his fall from sophistication – despite keeping a fervent primary audience comprised nearly entirely of youthful white men – was eventually just like swift. Andrew Clay Silverstein was created in Brooklyn in 1957. First of his profession, using basically the name Andrew Clay, he was an professional who appeared mainly in small jobs in low-budget teenager sex romps like 1984’s Producing the Quality and Private Holiday resort. As the 10 years wore on, he continuing to struggle as an professional; finally, he considered standup, creating the Diceman, a comic persona that assimilated the attitude and mentality of a day to day street thug right into a bawdy, timeworn sensibility lent generally from performers like Pearl Williams and Belle Barth; also the off-color Mom Goose rhymes that first gained him notoriety have been party-record staples for many years. Still, Clay touched a clear nerve among fans; irritated and arrogant, he tapped right into a rabid blue-collar pursuing similarly disenfranchised with the gradually increasing cultural approval afforded females, minorities, and homosexuals. Along with Sam Kinison, Costs Hicks, and Denis Leary, Clay was tagged one of a brand new variety of “surprise comics,” but while his contemporaries changed their vitriol into biting cultural commentary – and sometimes attacked their very own neuroses and weaknesses – Clay’s posturing was relentless; rather than understanding or hard truths, he provided only self-aggrandizing bile and hatred, even though fans treasured it, his competitors grew outraged. Following the release of his 1989 debut, Dice, Clay exploded – the album sold very well for the comedy record, as well as the merits of his act were hotly debated over the nation. In early 1990, he was asked to host Sunday Evening Live; a mass media furor ensued when Sinéadvertisement O’Connor, the planned musical visitor, and cast member Nora Dunn strolled off the display in protest of Clay’s sexist persona, increasing his visibility actually higher."

"text": "\"\"\"Wild Thing\"\" may not be most-recorded song in history, but it's got to be up there. ( It's not even in the Top 10, though, according to the UK's The Independent .) But when the version by the Troggs, whose singer Reg Presley died of cancer late Monday night, became a hit on both sides of the Atlantic in the summer of 1966, it became one of those songs. It has long been enshrined in the rock and roll pantheon, perhaps entering at the moment Jimi Hendrix used it as a launching pad to set his guitar aflame at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival. Although it does not have the same kind of genre-shifting properties as some other standards, \"\"Wild Thing\"\" has the advantage of being fiendishly easy to learn and exhilaratingly fun to perform. In the some 46 years since the Troggs made it a hit, its salacious tone and ever-unkempt nature have kept it close at hand and given it a half-life of nearly forever. With all due respect to Cheap Trick, Widespread Panic, Jeff Beck, Warren Zevon and just about every garage band that ever strapped on a guitar, here are the ten other versions of \"\"Wild Thing\"\" worth remembering.

"text": "LIFE“He Was Quite Simply the greatest stand up comedian there ever was”— Jay Leno Anyone can repeat a Rodney Dangerfield joke, but no one can tell one quite like the man himself. In his autobiography, It’s Not Easy Bein’ Me, we get a rare glimpse into the events that shaped Rodney’s perspective and propelled his career. If it’s history you want, that’s a good place to start. Rodney.com continues on as a tribute to the living philosophy of perhaps the ultimate comedic genius. We had an artistic mastermind, a comedy God, walking among us. The following pages offer a journey into his virtuous mind. People remember Rodney as a regular on variety programs like The Tonight Show and from a host of sidesplitting movies that incited cult followings. But if you never witnessed Rodney perform his opus, his Las Vegas act, then you missed the definitive comedic event—a contemplative glimpse into the otherwise billowing eyes of this soulful philosopher. The following reviews of his live shows were those Rodney cherished. He could immediately see the writers understood he what he was trying to do on stage, making their accounts essential to the true Rodney fan."

[ 1]In this disorder, the patient's kidneys fuse together to form a horseshoe -shape during development in the womb. The fused part is the isthmus of the horseshoe kidney. Fusion abnormalities of the kidney can be categorized into two groups: horseshoe kidney and crossed fused ectopia. The 'horseshoe kidney' is the most common renal fusion anomaly.

In patients with this condition, the central portion of the kidney may be found just inferior to the inferior mesenteric artery because the normal embryologic ascent of the kidneys is arrested by its presence in people with central fusion of the kidneys. [ 2] Horseshoe kidney is often asymptomatic, though persons affected by this condition may experience nausea, abdominal discomfort, kidney stones and urinary tract infections at greater frequency than those without renal fusion.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A shtick ( Yiddish: שטיק , the closely related German word Stück has the same meaning) is a comic theme or gimmick derived from the Yiddish word shtik (שטיק), meaning \"\"piece\"\" (in stand-up comedy a near equivalent term is a \"\"bit\"\"). The English word for \"\"piece\"\" is sometimes used in a similar context. Another variant is \"\"bits of business\"\" or just \"\"bits\"\". Shtick may refer to an adopted persona, usually for comedy performances, that is maintained consistently (though not necessarily exclusively) across the performer's career. In this usage, the recurring personalities adopted by Laurel and Hardy through all of their many comedy films (although they often played characters with different names and occupations) would qualify as their shtick. A comedian might maintain several different shticks of this sort, particularly if appearing in a variety show encouraging development of multiple characters, such as Saturday Night Live. In common usage, the word shtick has also come to mean any talent, style, habit, or other eccentricity for which a person is particularly well-known, even if not intended for comedic purposes. For example, a person who is known locally for an ability to eat dozens of hot dogs quickly might say that it was his shtick. Among Orthodox Jews, \"\"shtick\"\" can also refer to wedding shtick, in which wedding guests entertain the bride and groom through dancing, costumes, juggling, and silliness. Because of its roots in show business, shtick has taken on connotation of a contrived and often used act."

He is one of the main protagonists of Supernatural. Both Sam and Dean are related to the Winchester and Campbell families - a Letters family and a Hunting family respectively. The pair also share a bloodline with Cain and Abel. Because of this, Sam was predestined to be the true vessel of the fallen archangel Lucifer (whilst Dean was Michael 's). Sam is friends with angel Castiel, Prophet Kevin Tran, the demon Meg and former lover-turned-enemy of demon Ruby. He is also the occasional reluctant ally of demon Crowley and for a time was forced to be an unknowing and unwilling vessel for the angel Gadreel (before expelling him)."

"text": "A new study on why Sam supposedly didn’t look for Dean? I no we’ve covered this topic a few times, but recently discovered this interview which raised some interesting points these are as follows: See what you think! This is from a person with a Sam point of view? I have added my comment under the points see if you agree. Anyway, the issue I wanted to address here is why I personally am not disturbed about the spoilers indicating Sam abandoned the hunter life entirely and did not look for Dean or try to get him back. I know many fans think that would be uncharacteristic behavior or would cast Sam as someone uncaring and disloyal, especially in comparison with Dean, but I respectfully but firmly disagree. Let me explain. If Sam indeed did not look for Dean, I see a combination of extremely practical reasons that could come together to explain that, including:having absolutely no trail to follow;I want to sympathize with Sam here. But being the brighter one, the brains of this family did he really even look. We’ve seen Dean do this in the past with no evidence."

Before God created the world, there was a \"\"destructive, amoral force\"\" called the Darkness. God and his archangels managed to beat back and lock away the force, and God created the Mark as a lock and key. The creator bestowed this Mark on Lucifer, who was driven to jealousy of mankind by the Mark, and he shared the Mark with Cain. As long as the Mark exists, the Darkness is locked away. But when Rowena performed the spell to remove the Mark of Cain, it unleashed the Darkness, which has, thus far, manifested as dark bolts of \"\"electricity\"\" and smoke.

"text": "\"Sam Sheppard Trials (1954 & '66)On July 4, 1954, Marilyn Sheppard, the wife of a handsome thirty-year-old doctor, Sam Sheppard, was brutally murdered in the bedroom of their home in Bay Village, Ohio, on the shore of Lake Erie. Sam Sheppard denied any involvement in the murder and described his own battle with the killer he described as \"\"bushy-haired. \"\" Did Sam do it? It's rare for a murder mystery to endure for over half a century. Almost always, if the the mystery is not fully resolved at the trial, subsequent admissions, previously uncovered clues, or more sophisticated forensic tests reveal what the trial did not. Not so with the Sam Sheppard case. Facing two different juries, twelve years apart, Sam Sheppard was found guilty by one jury, not guilty by the next. Even over the past decade, partisans continued the debate. A third jury in 2000, asked to consider awarding the Sheppard family damages for wrongful imprisonment, sided with county prosecutors. In 2001, a book on the Sheppard case concluded that Sam was clearly innocent."

Jerome Poelking testified in court that the finger print he recovered from the bedroom identically matched Sam Sheppard’s left thumb. ( Linder, 2006, p. 1). How the investigator Poelking would have determined this is through the analysis of fingerprinting. All fingerprints have their own personal characteristics. No one has yet to come across two fingerprints that are the exact same. Only a small percentage of the world population have similar ridge characteristics. ( Saferstein, 2009, p. 168). Poelking would have had to A) find the fingerprint and B) Match it to Sam Sheppard. The fingerprint that was found was a latent finger print."

The all-powerful Mark of Cain threatened to consume Dean, turning him into one of the monsters he has spent his life hunting. Meanwhile, a formidable witch, Rowena (Ruth Connell), rose to power to claim her position at the right hand of the King of Hell, Crowley (Mark A. Sheppard).

The series will not feature quite as much heaven, but there will be plenty of hellfire, and a whole lot of danger for Sam, Dean and their resurrected mother, Mary. Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, AKA Sam and Dean Winchester, will find themselves in all sorts of scrapes as usual, but this time they will have their mother, a veteran hunter, with them, according to International Business Times. This is exceptionally strange, or would be anywhere other than the Supernatural series, because Mary, Samantha Smith, died when Sam was a baby but she is back now. Supernatural Season 12 would, by the nature of the show, require a fresh resurrection. Hopefully one will be enough. Apparently, the tendency toward resurrection runs in the family. How many times have Sam and Dean come back from the dead? Supernatural Season 12 has some real shocking stuff planned, including a casting oddity that is sure to drag a smile out of music fans. Lucifer will be played by none other than Rick Springfield this season, according to TV Line."

After its first season, The WB and UPN merged to form The CW, which is the current broadcaster for the show in the United States. The show features two main characters, Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester and Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester, brothers who travel across the country in a black 1967 Chevrolet Impala to hunt demons, supernatural creatures, and other paranormal entities, many of them based on folklore, myths, and American urban legends. In addition, Supernatural chronicles the relationship between the brothers and their father, John Winchester, as they seek to avenge and understand the murder of their mother at the hands of the demon Azazel. Supernatural has featured many other recurring guests that take part in story arcs that span a portion of a season. Occasionally, the recurring guest storylines will span multiple seasons. After the death of their father in the second season, the hunter Bobby Singer becomes a father figure to Sam and Dean. As the series progresses, recurring guests appear at various times to help move the overall storyline of the show such as the demon Ruby or the angel Castiel. The series also features recurring appearances from other demons, angels, and hunters.

His death was a result of acute polydrug intoxication due to combined effects of oxycodone, oxymorphone, diazepam/nordiazepam, and active intoxicant of alcohol. Sigal also noted that The Rev also had an enlarged heart, which was noted in the coroner's report as a \"\"significant condition\"\" that may have contributed to his death. An enlarged heart is commonly associated with prolonged drug abuse. A side note: Some have been saying that there is a theory that he Jimmy Sullivan died of stomach cancer. This is due to the top hit of the Google search \"\"the rev cause of death\"\" being for an actor, known as the Rev, that died of stomach cancer. That Rev was named David Sheppard, and was born in 1929."

He attended Cleveland Heights High School where he was an excellent student and was active in football, basketball, and track; he was class president for three years. Sheppard met his future wife, Marilyn Reese, while in high school. Although several small Ohio colleges offered him athletic scholarships, Sheppard chose to follow the lead of his father and older brothers and pursued a career in osteopathic medicine. He enrolled at Hanover College in Indiana to study pre-osteopathic medical courses, then took supplementary courses at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. Sheppard finished his medical education at the Los Angeles Osteopathic School of Physicians and Surgeons (now University of California Irvine) and was awarded the Doctor of Osteopathy (D. O) degree. He completed his internship and a residency in Neurosurgery at Los Angeles County General Hospital.

Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The first handmade stapling machines or fasteners are attributed to having been developed for King Louis XIV of France in the 1700s. Henry R. Heyl of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania applied for a patent in September 1877 titled \"\"Improvement in devices for inserting metallic staples.\"\" Modern paper fastening devices started with the patent of the first paper fastener on September 30, 1841, by Samuel Slocum. Unfortunately, a thorough examination of Slocum's patent drawing and description would indicate that this machine was not a paper fastener at all, but a machine that stuck a number of pins to paper for the purpose of packaging them in quantity. Historically, Samuel Slocum's life's work was the development and sale of pins. His invention was solely for the purpose of marketing the pins that he manufactured. Although his invention might be seen as a stapler (or paper fastening machine) the point was actually not to fasten paper but to quickly package multiple sewing pins."

As a student at Yale College, Morse became interested in both painting and in the developing subject of electricity. After his graduation in 1810, he first concentrated on painting, which he studied in England. He would later become a well-known portrait artist. After moving to New York in 1825, he became a founder and the first president of the National Academy of Design. He also ran for office, but was defeated in both of his campaigns to become New York mayor. Meanwhile, Morse maintained a steady interest in invention, taking out three patents for pumps in 1817 with his brother Sidney Edwards Morse. It wasn't until 1832 that he first became interested in telegraphy. That year, Morse was traveling to the United States from Europe on a ship when he overheard a conversation about electromagnetism that inspired his idea for an electric telegraph. Though he had little training in electricity, he realized that pulses of electrical current could convey information over wires."

All the known effects of electricity - such as sparks, electrostatic attraction, chemical changes, electric shocks, and later electromagnetism - were applied to the problems of detecting controlled transmissions of electricity at various distances. In 1753, an anonymous writer in the Scots Magazine suggested an electrostatic telegraph. Using one wire for each letter of the alphabet, a message could be transmitted by connecting the wire terminals in turn to an electrostatic machine, and observing the deflection of pith balls at the far end.

At the height of its use, telegraph technology involved a worldwide system of wires with stations and operators and messengers, that carried messages and news by electricity faster than any other invention before it. Pre-Electricity Telegraphy Systems The first crude telegraph system was made without electricity. It was a system of semaphores or tall poles with movable arms, and other signaling apparatus, set within physical sight of one another. There was such a telegraph line between Dover and London at during the Battle of Waterloo; that related the news of the battle, which had come to Dover by ship, to an anxious London, when a fog set in (obscuring the line of sight) and the Londoners had to wait until a courier on horseback arrived. Electrical Telegraph The electrical telegraph is one of America's gifts to the world. The credit for this invention belongs to Samuel Finley Breese Morse. Other inventors had discovered the principles of the telegraph, but Samuel Morse was the first to understand the practical significance of those facts and was the first to take steps to make a practical invention; which took him 12 long years of work.

Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)Share Flipboard Email Print Getty Images/Don Farrallby Mary Bellis Updated February 24, 2018In order to get a patent or trademark or to register a copyright in America, inventors, creators, and artists must apply through the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in Alexandria, Virginia; in general, patents are only effective in the country for which they are granted. Ever since the first U. S. patent was granted in 1790 to Samuel Hopkins of Philadelphia for \"\" making pot and pearl ashes \"\"—a cleaning formula used in soapmaking—over eight million patents have been registered in at the USPTO. A patent gives an inventor the right to exclude all others from making, using, importing, selling, or offering to sell the invention for up to 20 years without the inventor's permission—however, a patent is not required to sell a product or process, it simply protects these inventions from being stolen. This gives the inventor the opportunity to produce and market the invention himself, or license others to do so, and to make a profit. However, a patent does not guarantee monetary success by itself. An inventor gets paid by either selling the invention or by licensing or selling (assigning) the patent rights to someone else. Not all inventions are commercially successful, and in fact, the invention may actually cost the inventor more money than he or she makes unless a strong business and marketing plan is created. Patent Requirements One of the most-often overlooked requirements for submitting a successful patent is the cost associated, which can be very high for some people. Although fees for the patent application, issue, and maintenance are reduced by 50 percent when the applicant is a small business or individual inventor, you can expect to pay the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office a minimum of about $4,000 over the life of the patent. A patent may be obtained for any new, useful, unobvious invention, though it generally cannot be obtained for the laws of nature, physical phenomena, and abstract ideas; a new mineral or a new plant found in the wild; inventions useful solely in the utilization of special nuclear material or atomic energy for weapons; a machine that is not useful; printed matter; or human beings."

Edison's inventions 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.

Guns with multiple revolving chambers have existed since waaay back in the days of matchlock firearms. The gun pictured above was built in Germany ca. 1580 (builder unknown, however). Unless someone has an earlier example, I guess that would technically be the first example of a revolving firearm. After that were various other attempts to make a revolving firearm such as the Pepper-boxand the Puckle gun. But the guns that people typically think of when they think of revolvers are the ones made by Samuel Colt. In the early 1830s Colt (who was still in his mid-teens at the time) served aboard a sailing ship called the Corvo, and he noticed that when the wheel of the ship was spun it always came to rest with the spokes in line with a clutch that held it in place. This gave him an idea for a better firearm revolver mechanism. One of the flaws of the old pepper-box revolvers is that you had to turn the cylinder and align it by hand."

The Pilgrims had obtained permission from English authorities to settle in Virginia, whose northern border at the time extended up to what is now New York. The Pilgrims had originally intended to settle near the mouth of the Hudson River, but due to dangerous shoals and a near shipwreck on their attempt to head south, they decided instead to plant themselves outside the bounds of the Virginia Company patent--which caused some \"\"mutinous speeches\"\" amongst some of the passengers. The Mayflower Compact was an attempt to establish a temporary, legally-binding form of self-government until such time as the Company could get formal permission from the Council of New England. This formal permission came in the form of the Pierce Patent of 1621. The original Mayflower Compact has been lost, perhaps falling victim to Revolutionary War looting. The text was first published in London in 1622 in A Relation or Journal of the Beginning and Proceeding of the English Plantation Settled at Plymouth in New England. A copy of it is found in William Bradford's handwritten history, Of Plymouth Plantation, made about 1630. And Nathaniel Morton, secretary for Plymouth Colony, published it, along with the earliest known list of the signers, in his history, New England's Memorial, published in 1669.

His discovery soon changed the way the messages are sent and received in the entire world, and even today Morse code is still in use in various areas of radio communications. Although he was considered to be poor during the majority of his life, he managed to live as an accomplished painter until he focused his interests on electromagnetism and electric communication. Samuel Finley Breese Morse was born on April 27, 1791, in Charlestown, Massachusetts as a first child of Pastor Jedidiah Morse (1761-1826) and Elizabeth Ann Finley Breese (1766-1828). During his youth his father inserted into his belief of his Calvinist faith and preservation of Puritan traditions. As for formal education, Samuel entered Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts at the age of nine, and Yale College at the age 14 in 1805. During his college years, he earned money by painting portraits and studied the subjects of religious philosophy, mathematics and science of horse.

By Serena Gordon Health Day Reporter WEDNESDAY, March 18, 2015 (Health Day News) -- New research examines why people with diabetes who depend on injections of lifesaving insulin still have no cheaper generic options to treat their disease. \"\" Surprisingly, this issue has not been talked about, so we're asking the question: Why is there no generic insulin?\"\" said senior study author Dr. Kevin Riggs, a research fellow at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore. In their report, published March 19 in the New England Journal of Medicine, Riggs and his colleague Dr. Jeremy Greene describe how the unique development of insulin allowed pharmaceutical companies to continually improve the medication while extending patents for decades. Generic drugs cannot be made until a patent on a brand-name drug expires."

It is the successor corporation to Colt's earlier firearms-making efforts, which started in 1836. Colt is known for the engineering, production, and marketing of firearms, most especially between the 1850s and World War I, when it was a dominating force in its industry and a seminal influence on manufacturing technology. Colt's earliest designs played a major role in the popularization of the revolver and the shift away from earlier single-shot pistols. Although Samuel Colt did not invent the revolver concept, his designs resulted in the first very successful ones. The most famous Colt products include the Colt Walker, made 1847 in the facilities of Eli Whitney Jr., the Single Action Army or Peacemaker, the Colt Python, and the Colt M1911 pistol, which is currently the longest-standing military and law enforcement service handgun in the world and is still used today. Though they did not develop it, for a long time Colt was also primarily responsible for all AR-15 and M16 rifle production, as well as many derivatives of those firearms. The most successful and famous of these are numerous M16 carbines, including the Colt Commando family, and the M4 carbine. In 2002, Colt Defense was split off from Colt's Manufacturing Company."

"text": "Early Years Samuel Colt was born on July 19, 1914, in Hartford, Connecticut, the son of textile manufacturer Christopher Colt and wife Sarah. By visiting his father’s mill in Ware, Massachusetts, and helping out at a nearby farm, the young Colt gained an interest in all things mechanical and often dismantled objects–including his father’s firearms–to discover how they functioned. At age 16, he enrolled at Amherst Academy in Massachusetts to study navigation; however, his youthful hi-jinks later got him expelled from the school. His father then gave the teen the opportunity to study navigation firsthand, sending him out to sea on the Corvo, a ship that embarked on a nearly yearlong voyage in 1830. Did You Know? Samuel Colt hired engravers and craftsmen to decorate special presentation pistols that were given to European kings, Russian czars and military officials, among other dignitaries. These firearms were often lavishly engraved and inlaid with gold. Aboard the Corvo, Colt became fascinated with the ship’s wheel, particularly the way it could alternately spin or be locked in a fixed position through the use of a clutch. He translated this controlled rotation to firearms and a means whereby a single-shot pistol could be adapted to fire multiple rounds in quick succession. During his time at sea, Colt carved a six-barrel cylinder, locking pin and hammer out of wood."

As a student at Yale College, Morse became interested in both painting and in the developing subject of electricity. After his graduation in 1810, he first concentrated on painting, which he studied in England. He would later become a well-known portrait artist. After moving to New York in 1825, he became a founder and the first president of the National Academy of Design. He also ran for office, but was defeated in both of his campaigns to become New York mayor. Meanwhile, Morse maintained a steady interest in invention, taking out three patents for pumps in 1817 with his brother Sidney Edwards Morse. It wasn't until 1832 that he first became interested in telegraphy. That year, Morse was traveling to the United States from Europe on a ship when he overheard a conversation about electromagnetism that inspired his idea for an electric telegraph. Though he had little training in electricity, he realized that pulses of electrical current could convey information over wires."

"text": "Telegraph, any device or system that allows the transmission of information by coded signal over distance. Many telegraphic systems have been used over the centuries, but the term is most often understood to refer to the electric telegraph, which was developed in the mid-19th century and for more than 100 years was the principal means of transmitting printed information by wire or radio wave. E. C. Heasley, Jules A. Rodier, and Major Montgomery working in the White House's Telegraph Room—which was set up to receive news of the Spanish-American War—in Washington, D. C., 1898. Library of Congress, Washington, D. C. (digital. id. cph.3b37154)Preelectric telegraph systems The word telegraph is derived from the Greek words tele, meaning “distant,” and graphein, meaning “to write.” It came into use toward the end of the 18th century to describe an optical semaphore system developed in France. However, many types of telegraphic communication have been employed since before recorded history. The earliest methods of communication at a distance made use of such media as smoke, fire, drums, and reflected rays of the Sun. Visual signals given by flags and torches were used for short-range communication and continued to be utilized well into the 20th century, when the two-flag semaphore system was widely used, particularly by the world’s navies."

"text": "History of the U. S. Telegraph Industry Tomas Nonnenmacher, Allegheny College Introduction The electric telegraph was one of the first telecommunications technologies of the industrial age. Its immediate predecessors were homing pigeons, visual networks, the Pony Express, and railroads. By transmitting information quickly over long distances, the telegraph facilitated the growth in the railroads, consolidated financial and commodity markets, and reduced information costs within and between firms. This entry focuses on the industrial organization of the telegraph industry from its inception through its demise and the industry’s impact on the American economy. The Development of the Telegraph The telegraph was similar to many other inventions of the nineteenth century. It replaced an existing technology, dramatically reduced costs, was monopolized by a single firm, and ultimately was displaced by a newer technology. Like most radical new technologies, the telecommunications revolution of the mid-1800s was not a revolution at all, but rather consisted of many inventions and innovations in both technology and industrial organization. This section is broken into four parts, each reviewing an era of telegraphy: precursors to the electric telegraph, early industrial organization of the industry, Western Union’s dominance, and the decline of the industry. Precursors to the Electric Telegraph Webster’s definition of a telegraph is “an apparatus for communicating at a distance by coded signals.” The earliest telegraph systems consisted of smoke signals, drums, and mirrors used to reflect sunlight."

During this time period the free-enterprise system of the United States economy developed. In a free-enterprise system of economics, or market economy as it is sometimes called, people can own a business to make a profit, buy and sell goods, or work for wages with little government interference. The free-enterprise system determines what is produced, how much is produced, and for whom the product is produced.

"text": "Famous Inventions A list of famous inventions that helped change the world. Note. Many inventions are often progressive developments, with no one person fully responsible. In many cases, it is hard to pin-point the exact date and person responsible for the invention. Sometimes many people are involved, with a basic model being improved on and turned into workable models. Aluminium (1880s) Aluminium is one of the most abundant metals. But, it was only in the 1880s that production processes were invented which enabled aluminium to be produced cheaply. Carl Wilhelm Siemens (US) developed a smelter to produce Aluminium from Bauxite ore in 1886. Aluminium is used extensively in building and aeroplane manufacture. Aeroplane/aviation (1903) The first powered, heavier than air flight was undertaken by Orville Wright on December 17, 1903."

"text": "\"From their humble, thatch-roofed beginnings to the stately adobes we see today, the missions represent a dynamic chapter of California's past. By the time the last mission was built in 1823, the Golden State had grown from an untamed wilderness to a thriving agricultural frontier on the verge of American statehood. The 21 missions that comprise California's Historic Mission Trail are all located on or near Highway 101, which roughly traces El Camino Real (The Royal Road) named in honor of the Spanish monarchy which financed the expeditions into California in the quest for empire. From San Diego to Los Angeles, the historic highway is now known as Interstate 5. From Santa Clara to San Francisco, the road is called State Highway 82. North of San Francisco, Highway 101 again picks up the trail to the mission at San Rafael. From there, State Highway 37 leads to the last mission at Sonoma. The first leg of El Camino Real was forged by General Gaspar de Portola on his journey from San Diego to find Monterey Bay. Tracing his path, missionaries, colonists and soldiers all traveled its dusty stretches; it was the only road between the few civilized outposts. The road was later identified with the missions because the padres maintained the roadway and offered hospitable lodging to all."

[ 2]The Spanish missions in California comprise a series of 21 religious outposts or missions established between 1769 and 1833 in today's U. S. State of California. Founded by Catholic priests of the Franciscan order to evangelize the Native Americans, the missions led to the creation of the New Spain province of Alta California and were part of the expansion of the Spanish Empire into the most northern and western parts of Spanish North America. Following long-term secular and religious policy of Spain in Spanish America, the missionaries forced the native Californians to live in settlements called reductions, disrupting their traditional way of life. The missionaries introduced European fruits, vegetables, cattle, horses, ranching, and technology. The missions have been accused by critics, then and now, of various abuses and oppression."

History The Franciscan missionaries hoped to create a \"\"chain\"\" of missions which would be a day's ride apart on horseback. In 1796, they were well on their way with 13 missions along the California coast from San Diego to San Francisco. El Camino Real, the road joining them, was a well-traveled road joining north and south, but there were still long dangerous stretches with no mission nearby. Father Lasuen and the new governor decided to build 5 more missions, and Mission San Jose was the first of the five. Establishment of Mission San Jose Mission San Jose was founded June 11, 1797 by Father Fermin Francisco de Lasuen, Presidente of the California Missions Chain. The site was part of a natural highway by way of the Livermore Valley to the San Juaquin Valley."

Cabrillo left a record of the people and their villages, as did Sebastián Vizcaíno in 1602. The Chumash were destroyed by life at the missions of Santa Ynez, San Buenaventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and La Purisima Concepcion between 1772 and 1834. SETTLEMENTSThe Barbareño, who lived on the coast of the Santa Barbara Channel, were the best known of the Chumash people. There were many more villages along the coast, both here and to the north, than there were inland. There were also Chumash villages on three of the Channel Islands. The names of several hundred Chumash villages are recorded. There were at least six Chumash languages. The name Chumash comes from the word used by the people for one of the islands, Mi-tcú-mac. They did not use this name to refer to themselves."

History of Mission Santa Cruz Mission Santa Cruz, dedicated twelfth in the mission chain on August 28, 1791 by Farther Lasuén, is a tiny mission along the northern California coast. Unlike the rest of California’s missions, leaders did not name Santa Cruz after a saint, rather after the holy cross. Although small in size, Mission Santa Cruz experienced a large string of misfortunes. First, a pueblo named Branciforte, was established on the other side of the river. Branciforte was founded with former prison convicts from Guadalajara. These settlers took land away from the Indians and used mission property at will. Then, in 1818, the evil pirate Hippolyte de Bouchard was seen approaching the mission. De Bouchard had earlier vandalized Monterey, and for fear of a reoccurrence at Santa Cruz, the mission residence packed up valuables and fled to Mission Soledad."

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.

"text": "\"About Matthias Schleiden was born in Hamburg, Germany, in 1804. He did not originally pursue his interest in botany; instead, he studied law at Heidelberg University from 1824 to 1827 (no doubt influenced by his wealthy family). After graduation, Schleiden became a barrister in Hamburg, but he soon grew dissatisfied with his legal practice and suffered a deep depression that culminated in his attempted suicide. He abandoned the profession altogether in 1831 and returned to college to pursue his real interests--botany and medicine. After his graduation, Schleiden became professor of botany at Jena University. Instead of spending his time classifying plants, however, he preferred to observe their development using the microscope because he felt that was the only way plants could be studied. By 1838 his methods had led him to propose the cell theory for plants. Schleiden was the first to recognize the importance of cells as fundamental units of life. In his most well-known article, Schleiden described Robert Brown's 1832 discovery of the cell nucleus (which he renamed cytoblast). Schleiden knew that the cell nucleus must somehow be connected with cell division, but he mistakenly believed that new cells erupted from the nuclear surface like blisters."

Born in Hamburg, Schleiden was educated at the University of Jena, then practiced law in Heidelberg, but soon developed his love for botany into a full-time pursuit. Schleiden preferred to study plant structure under the microscope. While a professor of botany at the University of Jena, he wrote Contributions to our Knowledge of Phytogenesis (1838), in which he stated that all parts of the plant organism are composed of cells. Thus, Schleiden and Schwann became the first to formulate what was then an informal belief as a principle of biology equal in importance to the atomic theory of chemistry. He also recognized the importance of the cell nucleus, discovered in 1831 by the Scottish botanist Robert Brown, [1] and sensed its connection with cell division.

Robert Hooke1663 - 1665The cell was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665. He examined very thin slices of cork and saw a multitude of tiny pores that he remarked looked like the walled compartments a monk would live in. Because of this association, Hooke called them cells, the name they still bear. However, Hooke did not know their real structure or function. Hooke's description of these cells was published in Micrographia. His cell observations gave no indication of the nucleus and other organelles found in most living cells. Anton Van Leeuwenhoek1674 - 1683Anton van Leeuwenhoek was inspired by the glasses used by drapers to inspect the quality of cloth. He taught himself new methods for grinding and polishing tiny lenses of great curvature which gave magnifications up to 270x diameters, the finest known at that time. These lenses led to the building of Anton Van Leeuwenhoek's microscopes considered the first practical microscopes, and the biological discoveries for which he is famous."

"text": "History of Cell Biology By Dan Rhoads The cell theory, or cell doctrine, states that all organisms are composed of similar units of organization, called cells. The concept was formally articulated in 1839 by Schleiden & Schwann and has remained as the foundation of modern biology. The idea predates other great paradigms of biology including Darwin’s theory of evolution (1859), Mendel’s laws of inheritance (1865), and the establishment of comparative biochemistry (1940). First Cells Seen in Cork While the invention of the telescope made the Cosmos accessible to human observation, the microsope opened up smaller worlds, showing what living forms were composed of. The cell was first discovered and named by Robert Hooke in 1665. He remarked that it looked strangely similar to cellula or small rooms which monks inhabited, thus deriving the name. However what Hooke actually saw was the dead cell walls of plant cells (cork) as it appeared under the microscope. Hooke’s description of these cells was published in Micrographia. The cell walls observed by Hooke gave no indication of the nucleus and other organelles found in most living cells. The first man to witness a live cell under a microscope was Anton van Leeuwenhoek, who in 1674 described the algae Spirogyra."

He also discovered pepsin, the first digestive enzyme prepared from animal tissue, and experimented to disprove spontaneous generation. Theodor Schwann was born at Neuss near Düsseldorf on Dec. 7, 1810. At the University of Bonn, which he entered in 1829, he met Johannes Müller, the physiologist, whom he assisted in his experiments. Schwann continued his medical studies at the University of Würzburg and later at the University of Berlin, from which he graduated in 1834. His doctoral dissertation dealt with the respiration of the chick embryo. Contributions to Physiology and Anatomy At the University of Berlin, Schwann again came into contact with Müller, who convinced him that he should follow a scientific career. Very soon after he began to work under Müller, he had his first success. From extracts which he made of stomach lining, Schwann demonstrated that a factor other than hydrochloric acid was operating in digestion. Two years later, in 1836, he succeeded in isolating the active principle, which he named pepsin."

The atomistic foundations of cell theory are subsequently dissected and discussed, together with the theory’s conceptual development and eventual consolidation. This paper then examines the major criticisms that have been waged against cell theory, and argues that these too can be interpreted through the prism of biological atomism as attempts to relocate the true biological atom away from the cell to a level of organization above or below it. Overall, biological atomism provides a useful perspective through which to examine the history and philosophy of cell theory, and it also opens up a new way of thinking about the epistemic decomposition of living organisms that significantly departs from the phys- icochemical reductionism of mechanistic biology.

"text": "Biography of Matthias Jakob Schleiden Matthias Jakob Schleiden is recognised as the discoverer of the universality of cell structure in plants, and with Schwann shares the honour of originating the cell theory. Schleiden was the son of a well-to-do municipal physician of Hamburg. He first studied law at the University of Hamburg from 1824 to 1827 and obtained a doctorate. He subsequently practiced law in Hamburg, but was unhappy with his career choice and choose to develop his hobby of botany into a full-time pursuit. In 1833 he began to study natural science at Göttingen and then transferred to Berlin. In choosing botany he was encouraged by his botanist uncle, Johann Horkel (1769-1849). During these years the famous naturalist Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) and the Scottish botanist Robert Brown (1773-1858) lived in Berlin. Schleiden worked in the laboratory of Johannes Peter Müller (1801-1858), where he met Theodor Schwann. In this inspiring milieu, Schleiden worked intensively and produced noteworthy publications. He obtained his doctorate in 1839 at Jena and was then able to give free reign to his pedagocical fervor."

One of his experiments to prove spontaneous generation was the following: if you put some wheat seeds with a dirty shirt, within 21 days house mice would appear. His experiment lead to the understanding of how people got the idea of spontaneous generation due to their poor observation skills and little to no technology.

His doctoral dissertation dealt with the respiration of the chick embryo. Contributions to Physiology and Anatomy At the University of Berlin, Schwann again came into contact with Müller, who convinced him that he should follow a scientific career. Very soon after he began to work under Müller, he had his first success.

As microscopes became more sensitive and observational techniques allowed for the viewing of internal cellular structure, the theory expanded; but the original three tenets have remained the same. Cellular Theory Defined Classical cell theory, first proposed by Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann, consisted of three primary points: All living things are made up of cells. Cells are the basic units of structure, function and physiology in living things. Living cells can come only from other pre-existing cells. Modern cell theory adds two additional points. Cells contain and pass on hereditary information during cell division. All cells are relatively the same in relation to chemical composition and metabolic activity. The significance of this seemingly basic concept cannot be denied. At the foundation of almost all sciences, including biological sciences, chemistry, physiology and medicine, is cell theory."

"text": "\"General Functions of the Nervous System Last Updated on Tue, 12 Dec 2017 | Blood Vessels The nervous system is composed predominantly of neural tissue, but also includes some blood vessels and connective tissue. Neural tissue consists of two cell types: nerve cells, or neurons (nu'ronz), and neuroglia (nu-rog'le-ah) or glial cells. Neurons are specialized to react to physical and chemical changes in their surroundings. Small cellular processes called dendrites (den'dritz) receive the input, and a longer process called an axon (ak'son) or nerve fiber carries the information away from the cell in the form of bioelectric signals called nerve impulses (fig. 10.1). Nerves are bundles of axons. Neuroglia were once thought only to fill spaces and surround or support neurons. Today we know that they have many other functions, including nourishing neurons and perhaps even sending and receiving messages. An important part of the nervous system at the cellular level is not a cell at all, but the small spaces between neurons, called synapses (sin'aps-ez). Much of the effort of the nervous system centers on sending and receiving electrochemical messages from neuron to neuron at synapses."

This connective tissue also contains a specific layer that is specialised to neurons; the peri-neurium. The outer layer of this connective tissue is called the epineurium and it surrounds both the perineurium and the nerve itself. Individual neurons found within each bundle are surrounded by the endoneurium . Each nerve fibre that is visible on histologic section represents an axon which is surrounded by the neurilemma or as it is also known, the sheath of a Schwann cell. However, depending on whether the cell is myelinated or unmyelinated, this layer may not be visible. Where present, the Schwann cell will be visible as a dense layer immediately adjacent to the nerve fibre. This layer is then also immediately surrounded by the cytoplasm of the Schwann cell. The sheath and cytoplasm of the Schwann cell collectively form the neurilemma."

Dr. Beeman was selling bottles of powdered pepsin, which people took to aid in digestion. Pepsin is found in the stomach and breaks down proteins into peptides. Its precursor is pepsinogen and is released by the chief cells in the stomach. Theodor Schwann discovered pepsin in 1836. He took the name for his discovery from the Greek word pepsis. Pepsis means digestion. It was the first animal enzyme to be discovered and is a protease. In 1929, it was the first enzyme to be crystallized by John Northrop.

Med. 2014A team of scientists from the Department of Neurogenetics at the Max Planck Institute and University Medical Center Göttingen has discovered a new treatment approach for the hereditary neurological disorder Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A is the most common inherited disease affecting the peripheral nervous system. Researchers from the Department of Neurogenetics at the Max Planck Institute of Experimental Medicine and University Medical Center Göttingen have discovered that the maturity of Schwann cells is impaired in rats with the disease. These cells enwrap the nerve fibers with an insulating layer known as myelin, which facilitates the rapid transfer of electrical impulses. If Schwann cells cannot mature correctly, an insufficient number of nerve fibers is covered with myelin during development. According to the researchers, the growth factor neuregulin-1 has immense therapeutic potential: rats treated with neuregulin-1 have more myelinated nerve fibers. The symptoms of the disease diminish significantly as a result."

The CNS processes many different kinds of sensory information; is the source of thoughts, emotions, and memories; and gives rise to signals that stimulate muscles to contract and glands to secrete. What roles do the dendrites, cell body, and axon play in communication of signals? Dendrites and the cell body receive input; the axon conducts nerve impulses (action potentials) and transmits the message to another neuron or effector cell by releasing a neurotransmitter at its synaptic end bulbs. Which type of neuron is the most abundant type of neuron in the CNS? Most neurons in the CNS are multipolar neurons. Where are most unipolar neurons located in the body? Most unipolar neurons are located in the PNS; the cell bodies of these neurons are mainly in the ganglia of cranial and spinal nerves. How did pyramidal cells get their name? The cell body of a pyramidal cell is shaped like a pyramid."

The modern concept of a cell membrane is drawn from a long history of the science of cell membranes. This lesson explores how our idea of a membrane surrounding a cell has changed over history, as well as our current understanding of how it functions. The Earliest Cell Membrane Ideas The tiniest unit of our biological selves, a cell, filled with cell fluid and surrounded by a thin membrane. This membrane keeps our cells intact, acts as a protective barrier, and is fluid enough to allow quite a bit of cell flexibility. But there was a time when scientists weren't sure whether there even was a cell membrane. Did cells just congeal together, held by some other force? If a cell membrane existed, how did cells transport things in an out of the cell itself?"

"text": "\"For centuries, the history of the philosophy of science has been important for plotting the course of human endeavor. Until the 18th and 19th centuries, there was no real distinction between scientist and philosopher, and many of the great scientist-philosophers of antiquity were also theologians. Science gave philosophy a way of empirically testing theories and concepts, whilst philosophy has helped to develop the scientific method used today. Philosophy also dictates what areas science can and cannot test, delineating the boundary between physical and metaphysical questions. These boundaries and the rules governing research have developed over the centuries, and philosophy and science are intertwined. The history of the philosophy of science shows the development of the underlying methodology and foundations of the scientific process, and shaped science, as we know it today. Science could not exist without philosophy, and even the experiments underway in the Large Hadron Collider owe homage to Aristotle, Bacon and Kuhn. Beginnings - Aristotle's Empiricism vs Plato's Forms The history of the philosophy of science, certainly in the Western world, begins with the philosophers of Ancient Greece. Whilst many other philosophers contributed to the very beginning of the scientific process, the genesis of science began with the contrast between Platonism and Aristotleism. Plato (428/427 BC [ a] - 348/347 BC) had the archetypal Greek belief, that humanity was born with an innate knowledge of everything, and that learning was a process of unlocking the memories."

Jeffrey | February 8, 2013 | 4:04 PM EST (AP Photo/Ron Rittenhouse) (CNSNews.com) - A federal advisory committee appointed by the Obama administration to produce a report on climate change says that if Earth’s climate were still “primarily controlled by natural factors”—rather than by man-made global warming—then the next ice age would occur within the next 1,500 years. But now, because of humans, the committee says, the next ice age has been \"\"delayed indefinitely. \"\"“ Confirmation of what are called Milankovich cycles (cyclical changes in the Earth’s orbit that explain the onset and ending of ice ages) led a few scientists in the 1970s to suggest that the current warm interglacial period might be ending soon, plunging the Earth into a new ice age over the next few centuries,” the advisory committee said in a draft report released last month. “Scientists continue to study this issue today; the latest information suggests that, if the Earth’s climate were being controlled primarily by natural factors, the next glaciation would begin sometime in the next 1,500 years,” says the report. “ However, humans have so altered the composition of the atmosphere that the next glaciation has now been delayed indefinitely. ”The U. S. Commerce Department created the National Climate Assessment and Development Advisory Committee in December 2010. In May 2011, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Administrator Jane Lubchenco named its governing panel. The committee was charged with developing a new National Climate Assessment report, following up on two previous reports published in 2000 and 2009. In January, the advisory committee released an 1,146-page draft report so the public could review it and comment on it. The statement that the next Ice Age had been indefinitely postponed came in a set of questions and answers appended to the end of the draft report."

"text": "\"On an arid outcropping of basalt in northwestern Australia, some of the oldest rocks on Earth lie exposed to the fierce sun. Formed at the bottom of an ancient ocean, this volcanic material shelters what one scientist calls the \"\"oldest robust evidence\"\" of life. At a scientific meeting at Rockefeller University in May, Roger Buick of the University of Washington said that the 3.5 billion-year-old rocks hold traces of carbon that once made up living organisms. Even before Buick's discovery, ample evidence indicated that life on Earth began while our 4.5 billion-year-old planet was very young. Simple organisms certainly flourished between 2 billion and 3 billion years ago, and claims of older evidence of life have periodically surfaced. But none have been universally embraced, and Buick's claim is so new that other scientists haven't fully reviewed it. Yet even if the geologist is right about his rocks, his discovery would leave unanswered one of life's biggest mysteries: how life actually arose. While creationists attribute that spark of life to the hand of God, scientists are convinced there's a natural explanation. Yet as close as they've come to pinning it down, some admit the particulars may never be fully resolved. Others are convinced that we're edging closer to an answer—and to settling one of the oldest and most contentious questions in science and religion."

"text": "\"History of the Scientific Method Home > Foundations > History > History of the Scientific Method Martyn Shuttleworth 153.9K reads The history of the scientific method is a fascinating and long one, covering thousands of years of history. The development of the scientific method involves some of the most enlightened cultures in history, as well as some great scientists, philosophers and theologians. As well as looking at the changes in the philosophy underpinning scientific discovery, we cannot forget some of the tools that make science possible, including library indexing and peer reviewed scientific journals. From the observations of the Ancient Greeks and Zoroastrians, to the Hubble Space Telescope, the history of the scientific method underlies the development of all science and technology, and we owe our modern technology to some great and innovative minds. It is a cliché, but we really are standing on the shoulders of giants. The Beginning of the History of the Scientific Method At the time when the two great cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Persia were seeking dominance and fighting wars at Thermopylae and Platea, it is easy to forget that these two cultures also had a deep mutual respect, and traded ideas and knowledge. Unsurprisingly, and fittingly, our history of the scientific method will start here, although we must point out that knowledge knows no boundaries. Whilst Babylonian, Indian and Egyptian astronomers, physicians and mathematicians developed some empirical ideas, the Greeks were the first to develop what we recognize as the scientific method. Initially, the Ancient Greek philosophers did not believe in empiricism, and saw measurements, such as geometry, as the domain of craftsmen and artisans. Philosophers, such as Plato, believed that all knowledge could be obtained through pure reasoning, and that there was no need to actually go out and measure anything."

Shop Now The age of the universe is a point of dispute between the Bible and the opinion of the majority of astronomers today. The Bible implicitly teaches us about the age of the universe. In other words, it gives us sufficient information so that we can compute approximately how long ago God created the universe. The Bible teaches that the entire universe was created in six earth-rotation days ( Exodus 20:11 ). Furthermore, the Bible provides the age differences between parents and descendants 1 when listing certain genealogies. From these kinds of biblical references, we know that the elapsed time between Adam and the birth of Christ was roughly 4,000 years. From other historical records, we know that Christ was born roughly 2,000 years ago. Since Adam was created on the sixth day of the creation week, we can conclude that the earth, the entire universe, and everything in it were created approximately 6,000 years ago. Many people today would scoff at this claim."

"text": "Why Doesn’t Everyone Believe Humans Are Causing Climate Change? By Brad Balukjian on Wed, 19 Nov 2014Read Later Share Tweet Last week during his tour of Asia, President Barack Obama struck a new global warming deal with China. It was a landmark agreement that many expect could break the logjam that has kept the world’s two largest emitters largely on the sidelines of talks to curb greenhouse gas emissions. Both countries agreed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, with the U. S. ramping up reductions starting in 2020 and China beginning cuts in 2030. Yet back home, President Obama still faces an electorate that doesn’t believe climate change is caused by humans. Only 40% of Americans attribute global warming to human activity, according to a recent Pew Research Center poll. This, despite decades of scientific evidence and the fact that Americans generally trust climate scientists. Despite decades of evidence, most Americans don't believe that humans are causing climate change. That apparent cognitive dissonance has vexed two scientists in particular: Michael Ranney, a professor of education at the University of California, Berkeley, and Dan Kahan, a professor of law at Yale University. According to both, we haven’t been asking the right questions."

This is an amazing fact, considering that it is made out of the same matter as other planets in our solar system, was formed at the same time and through the same processes as every other planet, and gets its energy from the sun. To a universal traveler, Earth may seem to be a harmless little planet in the far reaches of one of billions of spiral galaxies in the universe. It has an average size star of average brightness and is joined by seven other planets — which support no known life forms — in its solar system. While this may be fitting for a passage from The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams, in the grand scheme of the universe, it would be a fairly accurate description. However, Earth is a planet teeming with vitality and is home to billions of plants and animals that share a common evolutionary track. How and why did we get here? What processes had to take place for this to happen? And where do we go from here? The fact is, no one has been able to come close to knowing exactly what led to the origins of life, and we may never know."

"text": "\"Epigenetic Changes Can Cause Cancer A transgene designed to attract methylation to the promoter of a tumor-suppressor gene leads to tumorigenesis in a mouse model. By Ashley P. Taylor | July 25, 2014WIKIMEDIA, RAMAChanges in gene methylation alone can trigger cancer, according to a mouse study published today (July 25) in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. Working in mouse stem cells, researchers from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, introduced a genetic segment designed to attract methyl groups—chemical modifiers that lead to gene silencing—into the mouse genome, upstream of the gene p16, which normally functions to regulate cell division. This transgenic segment was made up of motifs from the human genome, which—as a previous study has shown—are associated with promoter methylation and gene silencing during human development. Baylor’s Lanlan Shen and her colleagues have now shown that among mice in which this methylation magnet was introduced, 27 percent developed lung cancer, leukemia, or sarcomas, while wild-type controls did not develop tumors. Five percent of mice that inherited one copy of the transgene and one wild-type copy also developed tumors. “For many years we’ve been very convinced that DNA methylation changes and epigenetic silencing contribute to human cancer, and there have been a lot of observations that support that concept,” Peter Jones, research director and head of the cancer epigenomics lab at Michigan’s Van Andel Research Institute who was not involved in the work, told The Scientist. “ What [this] paper does, which I think is very clever, is to selectively silence a tumor-suppressor gene—that’s the p16 gene—in a mouse model system and then show that those mice do develop cancers. This shows that epigenetic silencing can lead directly to the formation of cancer. ”“There are several lines of evidence suggesting the important role of epigenetics in cancer, including the fact that all cancers show epigenetic change, and most cancer mutations affect the epigenome,” Andrew Feinberg from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Center for Epigenetics in Baltimore, Maryland, told The Scientist in an e-mail."

She was a black tobacco farmer and mother of five, and though she died in 1951, her cells, code-named He La, live on. They were used to help develop our most important vaccines and cancer medications, in vitro fertilization, gene mapping, cloning. Now they may finally help create laws to protect her family’s privacy — and yours. The family has been through a lot with He La: they didn’t learn of the cells until 20 years after Lacks’s death, when scientists began using her children in research without their knowledge. Later their medical records were released to the press and published without consent. Because I wrote a book about Henrietta Lacks and her family, my in-box exploded when news of the genome broke. People wanted to know: did scientists get the family’s permission to publish her genetic information? The answer is no."

Clendenin / Los Angeles Times)By Meredith Woerner“Thor: Ragnarok” might be the third title in the Marvel Cinematic Universe about the god of thunder, but this colorful deviation is no mere knockoff of its predecessors. Gone are the golden turrets of Asgard, overthrown by the goddess of death (played by Cate Blanchett), whose ’80s metal band swagger debuted at Comic-Con, setting fans on fire. The serious Nordic costumes have been electrified with Jack Kirby-inspired cosmic blues and reds. And instead of leaning on choral anthems, the new score will usher in a synth symphony channeling the hypnotizing sounds of Jean-Michel Jarre. The driving force behind these electric, retro-tinged changes is director Taika Waititi, best known for writing and directing the cult comedies \"\"Hunt for the Wilderpeople\"\" and \"\"What We Do in the Shadows. ”“Ragnarok,” which opens Nov. 3, finds Thor imprisoned on the planet Sakaar, where he must fight to survive in the Grandmaster’s gladiator games. It’s the stuff of life and death. But Waititi didn’t lose sight of the fact that it’s still entertainment. “ If we were taking things a little too seriously, I would say, ‘Never forget that we're making a cosmic adventure with a space Viking,’” said the director by phone. “"

However, she was soon banished for being too undisciplined and Amora quickly decided to train herself in the ways of magic by seducing other sorcerers and forcing them to reveal their ancient secrets to her. In time, Amora became one of the most powerful sorceresses in all of Asgard and was also very adept in the use of manipulation and charm in order to get her way.

Character Evolution Silver Age The Enchantress Amora first appeared as a foe of Thor, albeit with the intention of seducing him and then soon after as an enemy of the Avengers. Modern Age Amora's adolescence was explored in the Thor: Son of Asgard mini-series. It was later revealed in the Thor mini series Thor: Ages of Thunder and Thor: Reign of Blood that although not strictly a god like other Norse figures in the Marvel Universe, Amora had been known by many 'Godly' names throughout history after reaching adulthood. Major Story Arcs Adolescence From a young age, Amora had always desired Thor, although she admitted that this was only because he preferred Sif over her. This caused a bitter rivalry with Sif to ensue after Amora attempted to seduce Thor in hopes of keeping him for herself. To do this, Amora allied herself with Loki and the two of them developed a plot in which they manipulated Sif into stealing the Mirror of Mycha from Karnilla 's palace."

"text": "How do Scientists Study Proteins? Imagine you were a scientist and wanted to study the role of a protein in the cell. Proteins are little construction workers in the cells of your body that help you do all these amazing things. They put things together or break them down (enzymes), they transport things around the cell like a car (transporter proteins), they communicate between cells, and they keep our cells nice and sturdy which allows us to stand up straight and tall. But like we talked about on the previous page, we can't see inside the cell to study what the proteins are doing. How are we going to study our protein? We have to be creative and think of ways to see what a protein does without being able to actually see it doing its job. I know this might sound complicated, but luckily scientists in the past have already helped us solve this problem. Remember, proteins are made through the process known as Protein Synthesis. This is the when the cell reads the DNA instructions and makes a protein."

Percentage of genetic similarity between humans and animals It is very difficult to find reliable data comparing the human genome to animal genome. The principal reason is that few animals have had their full genome sequenced. Even those that have cannot be easily compared in terms of percentages because the genomic length and chromosomal division can vary greatly from one species to another. Scouring the Web, here is what I have found so far. - Genome-wide variation from one human being to another can be up to 0.5% (99.5% similarity) - Chimpanzees are 96% to 98% similar to humans, depending on how it is calculated. ( source) - Cats have 90% of homologous genes with humans, 82% with dogs, 80% with cows, 79% with chimpanzees, 69% with rats and 67% with mice. ( source) - Cows ( Bos taurus) are 80% genetically similar to humans ( source) - 75% of mouse genes have equivalents in humans ( source ), 90% of the mouse genome could be lined up with a region on the human genome ( source) 99% of mouse genes turn out to have analogues in humans ( source) - The fruit fly ( Drosophila) shares about 60% of its DNA with humans ( source ). - About 60% of chicken genes correspond to a similar human gene.

"text": "Ask most people and they’ll say that being first is best: you win medals at races, get best dibs on cookies at a reception, avoid getting scooped on research, and ride shotgun in a car. Sometimes, however, being first has both positive and negative consequences, as anyone familiar with the history of He La cells can tell you. He La cells have the distinction of being the first immortal cell line cultured by scientists. Unlike a normal population of human cells, which divide about 40 to 50 times before dying away, He La cells have the remarkable ability to divide indefinitely. Coming in first secured their status as one of the most popular cell lines used by scientists for research, making them the cornerstone of some of the most significant biological advances. UC Berkeley researchers are also no stranger to He La: an estimated 200 labs on campus have used He La cells. Today, Berkeley scientists have a wider array of cell lines to choose from, but He La’s familiarity and hardy growth continues to make it a popular choice. In the early 1950’s, however, scientists had yet to meet He La. In fact, the original He La cells were still attached to a living, breathing human being; a woman who put her family first in every situation, even when battling an unyielding cancer. This cancer would overcome her, but her cancerous cells would continue to grow in laboratories across the world. As the first immortal human cell line, He La cells, along with their involuntary donor’s family, had to deal with the growing pains of a society who could develop the technology for cell and tissue culture faster than the ethical rules needed to regulate it."

"text": "Illustration by Ryan Snook Molecular biologists are riding a wave of new technologies made possible by CRISPR. Whenever a paper about CRISPR–Cas9 hits the press, the staff at Addgene quickly find out. The non-profit company is where study authors often deposit molecular tools that they used in their work, and where other scientists immediately turn to get them. It is also where other scientists immediately turn to get their hands on these reagents. “ We get calls within minutes of a hot paper publishing,” says Joanne Kamens, executive director of the company in Cambridge, Massachusetts. LISTENHeidi Ledford talks Noah Baker through the cutting edge of the CRISPR technique Addgene's phones have been ringing a lot since early 2013, when researchers first reported 1, 2, 3 that they had used the CRISPR–Cas9 system to slice the genome in human cells at sites of their choosing. “ It was all hands on deck,” Kamens says. Since then, molecular biologists have rushed to adopt the technique, which can be used to alter the genome of almost any organism with unprecedented ease and finesse. Addgene has sent 60,000 CRISPR-related molecular tools — about 17% of its total shipments — to researchers in 83 countries, and the company's CRISPR-related pages were viewed more than one million times in 2015. Much of the conversation about CRISPR–Cas9 has revolved around its potential for treating disease or editing the genes of human embryos, but researchers say that the real revolution right now is in the lab."

To Kill a Mockingbird First edition cover – late printing Author Harper Lee Country United States Language English Genre Southern Gothic, Bildungsroman Published July 11, 1960Publisher J. B. Lippincott & Co. Pages 281To Kill a Mockingbird is a novel by Harper Lee published in 1960. It was immediately successful, winning the Pulitzer Prize, and has become a classic of modern American literature. The plot and characters are loosely based on Lee's observations of her family, her neighbors and an event that occurred near her hometown of Monroeville, Alabama, in 1936, when she was 10 years old. The story is told by the six-year-old Jean Louise Finch. The novel is renowned for its warmth and humor, despite dealing with the serious issues of rape and racial inequality. The narrator's father, Atticus Finch, has served as a moral hero for many readers and as a model of integrity for lawyers. One critic explains the novel's impact by writing, \"\"In the twentieth century, To Kill a Mockingbird is probably the most widely read book dealing with race in America, and its protagonist, Atticus Finch, the most enduring fictional image of racial heroism.\"\" [ 1]As a Southern Gothic novel and a Bildungsroman, the primary themes of To Kill a Mockingbird involve racial injustice and the destruction of innocence. Scholars have noted that Lee also addresses issues of class, courage, compassion, and gender roles in the American Deep South."

"text": "\"To Kill a Mockingbird Harper Lee THE STORYPART ONECHAPTER 10In this chapter you continue to learn more about the character of Atticus. Jem and Scout have always been bothered by the fact that Atticus is much older than the fathers of their friends. What's more, Atticus doesn't do any of the things that the other fathers seem to enjoy. He never goes hunting or fishing; he even excuses himself from playing tackle football with Jem on the grounds that he is too old for such games. Perhaps this is why Atticus doesn't believe in fighting back with fists. Maybe he is just too old to understand. Maybe he is even a little bit of a coward. Both Scout and Jem are too loyal to their father ever to voice their worries in quite this way, but the suspicion may well have occurred to you that Atticus does not believe in physical violence because he is too weak to have a chance of winning. These suspicions may be reinforced by Atticus' wary attitude toward guns. Both Jem and Scout have received air rifles for Christmas, but Atticus makes it quite clear that he does not approve."

The Radley Place was inhabited by an unknown entity the mere description of whom was enough to make us behave for days on end; Mrs. Dubose was plain hell.\"\" And what she learns later about Mrs. Dubose that may have changed her mind.

We had long ago given up the idea of walking past her house on the opposite side of the street; that only made her raise her voice and let the whole neighborhood in on it.

The third present seems most symbolic. They are images of the children carved out of soap. This may be Boo's way of telling the children \"\"This is how I see you.\"\" This could be another attempt to get the children to see him in reality by showing them that soap images aren't particularly realistic.

"text": "Scout Finch - The narrator and protagonist of the story. Jean Louise “Scout” Finch lives with her father, Atticus, her brother, Jem, and their black cook, Calpurnia, in Maycomb. She is intelligent and, by the standards of her time and place, a tomboy. Scout has a combative streak and a basic faith in the goodness of the people in her community. As the novel progresses, this faith is tested by the hatred and prejudice that emerge during Tom Robinson’s trial. Scout eventually develops a more grown-up perspective that enables her to appreciate human goodness without ignoring human evil. Read an in-depth analysis of Scout Finch. Atticus Finch - Scout and Jem’s father, a lawyer in Maycomb descended from an old local family. A widower with a dry sense of humor, Atticus has instilled in his children his strong sense of morality and justice. He is one of the few residents of Maycomb committed to racial equality."

"text": "\"Summary and Analysis Part 2: Chapters 21-23Bookmark this page Summary Calpurnia brings a note telling Atticus that Scout and Jem are missing, which causes him great concern until Mr. Underwood tells him that the children are in the courtroom — in the Colored balcony. Calpurnia scolds the children all the way home, but Atticus says that they can return to hear the jury's verdict. Jem is convinced that the jury will acquit Tom Robinson after the evidence Atticus presented. After the verdict, Jem leaves the courtroom stunned, angry, and crying. The African American community loads the Finch family with food for defending Tom so valiantly, which surprises the children because Atticus didn't win. Atticus tells Jem not to be disheartened because he will appeal Tom's case, and they stand a much better chance of winning on appeal. The neighborhood is abuzz with talk of the trial, and Miss Stephanie questions the children relentlessly until Miss Maudie sides with Atticus and puts an end to the discussion. In the days following the trial, Bob Ewell publicly threatens Atticus, which frightens the children. However, Atticus uses the opportunity to further educate his children on the ways of the world. As they look forward to the appeal, Scout asks if Walter Cunningham can come over to play, which Aunt Alexandra firmly refuses to allow."

One day, she and Jem are walking home together when Jem reveals that when he found his pants that night, they were all folded up, and the tears had been crudely sewn up, as if someone knew that he would be coming back for them.

When it remains in the hole for a few days, they take it, and decide that anything left there is okay to take. Jem is excited about sixth grade, because he is going to learn about ancient Egypt.

"text": "\"In \"\"To Kill a Mockingbird,\"\" by Harper Lee, characters Jem, Scout and Dill are living during the depression-era in Maycomb County, Alabama. Jem, Scout and their friend Dill are children, but throughout the course of the novel, they are thrown into the middle of a very adult situation; the murder of a white woman, the accused black man and a town caught up in the fever of racism. The kids grow up learning many lessons from Atticus or from their own experiences. In her depiction of Jem, Scout, and Dill, Lee reveals their maturation from being the children they are to having a thorough understanding of their society and the people within it. Jem's maturity is shown through his understanding of true courage and Boo's true personality. A few months after that, she dies and Atticus explains about the reason he makes Jem read: \"\" [Mrs. Dubose] had her own views about things, a lot different from mine I wanted you to see something about her I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do. Mrs. Dubose won, all ninety-eight pounds of her.\"\" According to her views, she died beholden to nothing and nobody."

Listen Full Text: Sharecropping and Tenant Farming After the American Civil War (1861–65), southern plantation owners were challenged to find help working the lands that slaves had farmed. Taking advantage of the former slaves' desire to own their own farms, plantation owners used arrangements called sharecropping and tenant farming. Both methods required the planters to divide their plantations into smaller parcels of land, which they continued to own. Using smaller parcels of property, the owners forged mutually beneficial arrangements with independent farmers to work the land. In sharecropping land owners provided sharecroppers with a house and a plot of land, as well as all the seed, fertilizer, and tools necessary to cultivate crops. Owners dictated what crops were to be raised and supervised laborers who worked in the fields. In exchange the sharecroppers worked the fields from seed through harvest."

"text": "you are here ::home :: North America :: USA :: People :: Family Life :: 19th-Century Families Family Life, 19th-Century Familiesbreadwinner husband, fewer Americans, pin money, barrooms, religious tracts Only in the late 18th and early 19th centuries did ideas of affectionate marriages and loving, sentimental relations with children become dominant in American family life. These attitudes first took hold among the urban, educated wealthy and middle classes, and later spread to rural and poorer Americans. This change was due to the growth and increasing sophistication of the economy, which meant that economic issues became less pressing for families and production moved outside the home to specialized shops and factories. With more leisure time and greater physical comfort, people felt that happiness, rather than simple survival, was possible. English philosopher John Locke’s theory that human beings are born good, with their minds as blank slates, contrasted with traditional Christian beliefs that children were sinful by nature. If this blank-slate theory is correct, then goodness can be instilled in children by showering them with kindness and love and by shielding them from the bad things in this world. Additionally, the psychological theory of sensibility, another 18th-century idea, argued that positive feelings such as friendship, happiness, sympathy, and empathy should be cultivated for a civil life of reason. By the 19th century, romanticism and sentimentality put even more emphasis on emotional attachment and the cultivation of feeling. New ideas about human equality and liberty undermined older notions of hierarchy and order. Americans applied the political ideal of “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness” espoused in the Declaration of Independence to family life."

She is probably best known for her work with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), the group that was at the forefront of the American voter registration drives of the 1960s. Hamer captured national attention as a spokeswoman for the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP), which eventually succeeded in electing many blacks to national office in Mississippi.

S. history. The Great Depression hit the South, including Georgia, harder than some other regions of the country, and in fact only worsened an economic downturn that had begun in the state a decade earlier. U. S. president Franklin D. Roosevelt 's programs for economic relief and recovery, known collectively as the New Deal, arrived late in Georgia and were only sporadically effective, yet they did lay the foundation for far-reaching changes. Not until the United States' entry into World War II (1941-45) did the depression in Georgia fully recede. Georgia's Economy in the 1920s Much of the nation was enjoying a manufacturing and production boom in the 1920s, but a combination of overproduction, foreign competition, and new man-made fabrics, such as rayon, led to falling cotton prices in Georgia. By the mid-1920s, the effects of the boll weevil, which first arrived in 1915, had ravaged Georgia's cotton fields and further decreased small farmers' prospects for making a living. Between 1918 and 1928 the price of cotton decreased from 28.88 cents/pound to 17.98 cents/pound, and then bottomed out in 1931 at 5.66 cents/pound. To keep up with the lower prices being offered for their products, farmers needed to purchase expensive new farm machinery, but only a few rich landowners had the money to afford such investments. On top of the boll weevil's effects and decreasing cotton prices, a three-year drought beginning in 1925 and an insufficient irrigation system further depressed Georgia's agricultural economy. Some abandoned their farms and moved to cities or out of the state, contributing to the ongoing \"\"great migration\"\" into northern states."

The Third Estate contained every French commoner: those who did not possess a noble title and those not ordained by the church. As might be expected in such a large group, the Third Estate had considerable diversity. It contained many different classes and levels of wealth; many different professions and ideas; rural, provincial and urban residents alike. Members of the Third Estate ranged from lowly beggars and struggling peasants to urban artisans and labourers; from the shopkeepers and commercial middle classes to the nation’s wealthiest merchants and capitalists. Despite its enormous size and economic importance, the Third Estate was politically disregarded and economically exploited by the Ancien Régime. The frustrations, grievances and sufferings of the Third Estate ultimately gave rise to the French Revolution. Peasants were at the bottom of the Third Estate’s social hierarchy."

Sharecropping is a form of agriculture in which a landowner allows a tenant to use the land in return for a share of the crops produced on their portion of land. Sharecropping has a long history and there are a wide range of different situations and types of agreements that have used a form of the system. Some are governed by tradition, and others by law. Legal contract systems such as the Italian mezzadria, the French métayage, the Spanish mediero, or the Islamic system of muqasat, occur widely.

Everyone encourages the cropper to remain on the land, solving the harvest rush problem [ clarification needed]. At the same time, since the cropper pays in shares of his harvest, owners and croppers share the risks of harvests being large or small and of prices being high or low. Because tenants benefit from larger harvests, they have an incentive to work harder and invest in better methods than in a slave plantation system."

"text": "The Ten-Percent Plan The process of reconstructing the Union began in 1863, two years before the Confederacy formally surrendered. After major Union victories at Gettysburg and Vicksburg, Abraham Lincoln issued the Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction in which he outlined his Ten-Percent Plan. The plan stipulated that each secessionist state had to redraft its constitution and could reenter the Union only after 10 percent of its eligible voters pledged an oath of allegiance to the United States. The Wade-Davis Bill and the Freedmen’s Bureau Many Radical Republicans believed that Lincoln’s plan was too lenient: they wanted to punish the South for secession from the Union, transform southern society, and safeguard the rights of former slaves. As an alternative to the Ten-Percent Plan, Radical Republicans and their moderate Republican allies passed the Wade-Davis Bill in 1864. Under the bill, states could be readmitted to the Union only after 50 percent of voters took an oath of allegiance to the Union. Lincoln pocket-vetoed the bill, however, effectively killing it by refusing to sign it before Congress went into recess. Congress did successfully create the Freedmen’s Bureau, which helped distribute food, supplies, and land to the new population of freed slaves. Presidential Reconstruction On April 14, 1865, John Wilkes Booth assassinated President Lincoln in Ford’s Theatre in Washington, D. C., and Vice President Andrew Johnson became president. Presidential Reconstruction under Johnson readmitted the southern states using Lincoln’s Ten-Percent Plan and granted all southerners full pardons, including thousands of wealthy planters and former Confederate officials."

"text": "Agricultural economics, study of the allocation, distribution, and utilization of the resources used, along with the commodities produced, by farming. Agricultural economics plays a role in the economics of development, for a continuous level of farm surplus is one of the wellsprings of technological and commercial growth. In general, one can say that when a large fraction of a country’s population depends on agriculture for its livelihood, average incomes are low. That does not mean that a country is poor because most of its population is engaged in agriculture; it is closer to the truth to say that because a country is poor, most of its people must rely upon agriculture for a living. Read More on This Topicthe agricultural sciences: Agricultural economics The field of agricultural economics includes agricultural finance, policy, marketing, farm and agribusiness management, rural sociology, and agricultural law. The idea that the individual farm enterprise forms a unit—affected by location, production techniques, and market factors—originated during the 19th century. It was later…READ MOREAgriculture and economic development As a country develops economically, the relative importance of agriculture declines. The primary reason for that was shown by the 19th-century German statistician Ernst Engel, who discovered that as incomes increase, the proportion of income spent on food declines. For example, if a family’s income were to increase by 100 percent, the amount it would spend on food might increase by 60 percent; if formerly its expenditures on food had been 50 percent of its budget, after the increase they would amount to only 40 percent of its budget. It follows that as incomes increase, a smaller fraction of the total resources of society is required to produce the amount of food demanded by the population."

Washington was appointed commander of the Continental Army on June 14, 1775. He would not return to Mount Vernon until 6 years later. George Washington at Princeton by Charles Willson Peale (US Senate)On June 14, 1775, the Second Continental Congress, responding to the growing crisis near Boston, directed that one of its own constituents – George Washington – take command of the newly designated Continental Army. Not only did Washington have the most military experience amongst the Congressional delegates, but as John Adams pointed out there were also great political advantages in having a someone outside of New England take command of a military force that was congregated around Boston and largely made up of New Englanders. Arriving shortly after the conclusion of the Battle of Bunker Hill, Washington moved swiftly to assume command of the ragtag forces surrounding besieging the British garrison within the city of Boston. What Washington did not realize at the time was that it would be six long years of battle, marching, siege, crises, and winter encampments before Washington had an opportunity to return to his beloved Mount Vernon. In September 1781, as the combined American and French forces made their way down to Yorktown, Virginia, Washington was able to make a brief visit to his home along the Potomac River. During this visit Washington and Rochambeau refined their plan for defeating Charles Cornwallis’ forces trapped on the York Peninsula.2. Prior to his appointment as head of the Continental Army, Washington had never commanded a large army in the field George Washington was but one of only a handful of candidates considered by the Second Continental Congress who possessed any significant military experience."

Scientists call it the most dangerous vaccine known to man. Today, smallpox is a potential weapon of mass destruction that could be wielded against the U. S. by enemies like Iraq and al Qaeda. With that in mind, President Bush is expected to announce on Friday a plan which will gradually make the smallpox vaccine available to all Americans who want it. That's according to administration sources who say the shots will be mandatory for about 500,000 military personnel and recommended for another half-million who work in hospital emergency rooms and on special smallpox response teams. The general public will be offered the vaccine on a voluntary basis as soon as large stockpiles are licensed, probably early in 2004, though the government will not encourage people to get them.60 Minutes II Correspondent Dan Rather reports that in evaluating the potential danger of smallpox, the Bush administration has faced a deadly dilemma: Do not vaccinate the population against small pox and leave millions of people vulnerable to one of the worst scourges known to man. Or treat people with a vaccine that is extremely effective at blocking the disease but can cause dangerous, sometimes fatal, reactions. The United States stopped giving mandatory smallpox vaccinations 30 years ago."

Smallpox Questions and Answers: The Disease and Vaccine What should I know about smallpox? Smallpox is an acute, contagious, and sometimes fatal disease caused by an orthopoxvirus and marked by fever and a distinctive progressive skin rash. In 1980, the disease was declared eradicated following worldwide vaccination programs. However, in the aftermath of the events of September and October, 2001, New York State, along with other states, and the U. S. government are taking precautions to be ready to deal with a bioterrorist attack using smallpox as a weapon. As a result of these efforts: 1) There is a detailed nationwide smallpox preparedness program to protect Americans against smallpox as a biological weapon. This program includes the creation of preparedness teams that are ready to respond to a smallpox attack on the United States. Members of these teams - health care and public health workers - are being vaccinated so that they might safely protect others in the event of a smallpox outbreak. 2) There is enough smallpox vaccine to vaccinate everyone who would need it in the event of an emergency. How serious is the smallpox threat?"

"text": "Smallpox was declared eradicated, yet still infects humans today. By Viera Scheibner, Ph D– April 2, 2012Posted in: Print PDFIn 1967, the World Health Organization (WHO) initiated a world-wide eradication campaign against smallpox. In that year, some 131,000 cases of smallpox were reported to WHO from 42 countries. It was understood that this number could have represented only some 5% of the total number of cases. What was the possible motivation for such an ambitious program? Side effects and ineffectiveness of smallpox vaccination have been the main smallpox issue discussed in medical papers for a long time. In 1928, the British Medical Journal (14 January:74) published an article by Garrow showing that the fatality rate among the vaccinated cases of smallpox in England and Wales in 1923 and 1926, in those over 15 years of age, was higher than among the unvaccinated. This stirred a lively discussion, published on 21 January 1928 (BMJ; 115-116). Among the comments are those of Percy Stocks, who considered waning vaccine immunity the reason for increased mortality among those of 15 years of age. He tried to imply that although dying within 2 months of contracting smallpox, victims could have died of other causes."

Why did these Aborigines die in 1789? From the journals of the British in the First Fleet it is clear that they died from a smallpox virus, for the people of the First Fleet knew smallpox when they saw it. In Britain it was universal. ( 1) People in cities lived with it every day of their lives. In the country, periodic epidemics swept through towns and villages killing large numbers. In spite of the growing widespread practice of inoculation in Britain during the late 1700s smallpox was still common, and apparent on the pock-marked faces of survivors walking the streets. It is also clear from the writings of the First Fleet diarists that the Aborigines in the Sydney region had never encountered this disease before, and, as a naive (previously untouched) population, died in their droves when it struck. Not one of the journal writers remarks on any smallpox scarring among them from the time of the Fleet's arrival till April 1789.

On Feb. 25, Eugene Le Bar, a Mexico City importer took a bus to New York City. On March 10th he died in one of the city hospitals. The diagnosis was \"\"hemorrhagic bronchitis\"\". Somewhere between that date and April 10th, the Rockefeller public relations firm, recently assigned to the American Medical Association because the upward spiral of drug trust profits wasn't spiraling upward fast enough, had a brilliant idea. Senor Le Bar, they reasoned, during his long trip had been in the same atmosphere with thousands of people from El Paso to New York. Why not drum up a SMALLPOX SCARE all over the United States and make ten million more dollars filling the nation's blood stream with cow pus and horse filth. With New York's publicity-loving Mayer, Wm. O'Dwyer, as the spearhead, this is exactly what they did. The bronchitis diagnosis was changed to one of smallpox 30 days after Senor Le Bar's demise."

"text": "\"Smallpox – A Biological Agent Posted by Andrew J. Jackson on Nov 13, 2012 in Disease, Health Preparedness, Perils | 0 comments Biological agents are pathogens and toxins derived from nature that target living organisms (humans, animals or vegetation) to kill or incapacitate. Some biological perils are also suitable for weaponization and use in biological warfare, biological terrorism or economic attacks in the case of pathogens targeting agricultural industries. Today’s hyper-connected world is particularly vulnerable to the spread of natural or man-made (or assisted) biological risks. Knowing a pathogen or toxin’s capabilities, symptoms and possible treatments can give you the edge in preventing or knowing when there’s been exposure and should help you seek early treatment from a trained medical professional. Today we look a little more in depth at smallpox. What is Smallpox: Smallpox is a serious disease caused by the variola virus. While smallpox has been eradicated in nature with only two known stocks, one maintained by the U. S. and the other by the Russian government. However, it is not beyond the realm of possibilities that additional stocks survive as smallpox wasn’t eradicated until the late 1970’s. Smallpox infection is contagious, but less so than the measles or the flu, with symptoms begin 7-17 days (incubation period) after exposure. Humans are the only known vectors of smallpox and contagion generally takes more than casual contact."

Answer by Sux2bu Confidence votes 40The smallpox virus is said to have emerged about 10 thousand years BC. The virus' genes suggest that it was once a rodent virus that made its trans-species jump into humans in one of the early agricultural river valleys. Smallpox is thought to have rooted itself early in people living in the river valleys of China. The first clear description of smallpox (by the great Chinese medical doctor Ko Hung) appeared in a Chinese medical text in the fourth century AD. The disease had such a profound effect on human culture that there were deities created in its honor. The Chinese worshiped a goddess of smallpox named T'ou Shen Niang-Niang, who could cure the disease. Like the Chinese with their smallpox goddess, the Hindu religion also has a goddess of smallpox, named Shitala Ma. Mankind has dealt with smallpox throughout our historical record, affecting populations around the globe."

The Life and Times of Socrates Socrates was born in Greece around 469 B. C. and died in 399 B. C. He was the son of Sophroniscus, who was a sculptor, and Phaenarete, who was a midwife. Historians know little about his early life, but do know that he was trained as a sculptor, but did not continue in that field. Historians know that he was a soldier who served during the Peloponnesian War. After the war, he worked as a stone mason to support his wife, Xanthippe, and their three children. As a young man, he studied under Archelaus and was very interested in the scientific teachings of Anaxagoras. However, he later left his studies of the physical world to devote himself to the investigation of the concept of morality. After he inherited a small fortune from his father, he was able to give his full attention to philosophical pursuits."

The Golden Age of Athens, the Age of Pericles, and Pentekontaetia are all names for the time period when Athens reached its height of power and prosperity. It began in 478 B. C. and lasted for approximately fifty years until 431 B. C. In the beginning of its so-called \"\"Golden Age\"\", Athens was just coming out of the Persian Wars as leader of the Delian League, and they were beginning their rise to power. At the end of this prosperous era, Athens had made huge advancements in their government, architecture, art, literature, science, and philosophy. Their accomplishments in these areas influence essentially every aspect of society today. Before the Golden Age, Athens was like other city-states in Greece. They were not the \"\"superpower\"\" of the country; in fact, they were not very significant at all during this time. Athens was located on the peninsula of Attica, and it was the only part of mainland Greece that remained Ionian and did not submit to the Dorian invasion."

"text": "\"Socrates: The Good Life Socrates is generally considered the first major philosopher of Western civilization. Before him there lived about a dozen other Greek thinkers, the so-called Pre-Socratics, who also produced significant work from about 600 BCE on. But little of that work has come down to us. Socrates is the first Western philosopher about who a good deal is known. He was a widely discussed figure among the Greeks of his day, and he has remained an icon of wisdom in the history of Western thought. It is primarily through him that the West has gotten the idea of what philosophy is, and what it may be like to live a philosophical life. Socrates, one might say, gave us a philosophical definition of the good life. Socrates was born in 470, and he died in 399. His entire life he lived in Athens. During that time he experienced both the \"\"Golden Age\"\" of his native city, as well as Athens’ disastrous defeat at the end of the long and ruinous Peloponnesian War."

Early in the Peloponnesian War, when Socrates was in his late thirties, he was an Athenian infantryman, and he fought in a few of the minor battles that Athens fought on land. He was recognized for his courage in battle and for his ability to endure the hardships of heat and cold, hunger and thirst. Socrates was an aristocrat, and after his service in the military he was able to pursue philosophy. He studied the art of debate and became a master at cross-examination and irony. He became a teacher, mainly for the sons of aristocrats, and without asking for money, which he didn't much need. Socrates is credited with trying to free people from the tyranny of established creeds. Writes the philosopher Susan Neiman in 2008: Socrates was the first to insist that we should rise above whatever particular mire happens to grip us, in order to seek something better and truer. He was thereby the first to introduce moral concepts backed by no authority but our own ability to reason. note30Socrates (GFDL / Creative Commons)."

But Thamus asked what use there was in each, and as Theuth enumerated their uses, expressed praise or blame, according as he approved [274e] or disapproved. The story goes that Thamus said many things to Theuth in praise or blame of the various arts, which it would take too long to repeat; but when they came to the letters, “This invention, O king,” said Theuth, “will make the Egyptians wiser and will improve their memories; for it is an elixir of memory and wisdom that I have discovered.”"

"text": "PLATO’S FIVE DIALOGUES – MENO1 March 2015 / murasakigodot Written by Plato and translated by G. M. A. Grube, 1981MENOThe Meno can be considered one of the earlier Socratic dialogues written by Plato and deals with the topic of virtue and Socrates attempt to define ethical terms. The dialogue starts with Meno asking Socrates if he believes that virtue can be taught. Is virtue something that men possess by nature or is it gained through experience or some other means? Socrates answers that unlike in Thessaly, people in Athens are so deprived of knowledge that not only do they not know if virtue can be taught, they wouldn’t even be able to tell him what virtue is. Since Socrates himself claims that he does not know what virtue is, he cannot know what qualities it possesses and whether it can or cannot be taught. Furthermore, not only does Socrates state that he doesn’t know what it is, he even claims that he has never met a person who did. Meno then refers to Gorgias, a well-known Greek sophist and Meno’s teacher and is surprised to hear that since Socrates has met him, he surely must have taught Socrates what virtue was. Socrates admits to being a little vague on what Gorgias had to say about virtue and is far more interested in Meno’s opinion on the subject. Meno believes that there are many virtues and that they differ according to sex, age and occupation and for every task and action. The same is true for wickedness."

Socrates utilized an educational method that focused on discovering answers by asking questions from his students. Socrates believed that \"\"the disciplined practice of thoughtful questioning enables the scholar/student to examine ideas and be able to determine the validity of those ideas\"\" [3]. Plato, a student of Socrates, described this rigorous method of teaching to explain that the teacher assumes an ignorant mindset in order to compel the student to assume the highest level of knowledge [4]. Thus, a student has the ability to acknowledge contradictions, recreate inaccurate or unfinished ideas and critically determine necessary thought. Socratic questioning is a form of disciplined questioning that can be used to pursue thought in many directions and for many purposes, including: to explore complex ideas, to get to the truth of things, to open up issues and problems, to uncover assumptions, to analyze concepts, to distinguish what we know from what we do not know, to follow out logical consequences of thought or to control discussions. Socratic questioning is based on the foundation that thinking has structured logic, and allows underlying thoughts to be questioned. [ 5] The key to distinguishing Socratic questioning from questioning per se is that Socratic questioning is systematic, disciplined, deep and usually focuses on fundamental concepts, principles, theories, issues or problems. Socratic questioning is referred to in teaching, and has gained currency as a concept in education, particularly in the past two decades. ["

Plato introduces several forms in his works, but identifies the Form of the Good as the superlative. This form is the one that allows a philosopher-in-training to advance to a philosopher-king. It cannot be clearly seen or explained, but once it is recognized, it is the form that allows one to realize all the other forms.

When trying to answer such difficult questions pertaining to the definition of justice, Plato identifies that we should not \"\"introduce every form of difference and sameness in nature\"\" instead we must focus on \"\"the one form of sameness and difference that was relevant to the particular ways of life themselves\"\" which is the form of the Good. This form is the basis for understanding all other forms, it is what allows us to understand everything else. Through the conversation between Socrates and Glaucon (508 a–c), Plato analogizes the form of the Good with the sun as it is what allows us to see things. Here, Plato describes how the sun allows for sight. But he makes a very important distinction, \"\"sun is not sight\"\" but it is \"\"the cause of sight itself.\"\""

[ 1] [2] [3]The earliest recorded versions of this argument are associated with Socrates in ancient Greece, although it has been argued that he was taking up an older argument. [ 4] [5] Plato, his student, and Aristotle, Plato's student, developed complex approaches to the proposal that the cosmos has an intelligent cause, but it was the Stoics who, under their influence, \"\"developed the battery of creationist arguments broadly known under the label 'The Argument from Design ' \"\". [ 6]Abrahamic religions have used the teleological argument in many ways, and has a long association with them. In the Middle Ages, Islamic theologians such as Al-Ghazali used the argument, although it was rejected as unnecessary by Quranic literalists, and as unconvincing by many Islamic philosophers. Later, the teleological argument was accepted by Saint Thomas Aquinas and included as the fifth of his \"\" Five Ways \"\" of proving the existence of God. In early modern England clergymen such as William Turner and John Ray were well-known proponents. In the early 18th century, William Derham published his Physico-Theology, which gave his \"\"demonstration of the being and attributes of God from his works of creation\"\". [ 7] Later, William Paley, in his 1802 Natural Theology or Evidences of the Existence and Attributes of the Deity published a prominent presentation of the design argument with his version of the watchmaker analogy and the first use of the phrase \"\"argument from design\"\". [ 8]From its beginning, there have been numerous criticisms of the different versions of the teleological argument, and responses to its challenge to the claims against non-teleological natural science."

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

"text": "\"Print Page Change Text Size: T T TA Brief History of the Idea of Critical Thinking A Brief History of the Idea of Critical Thinking The intellectual roots of critical thinking are as ancient as its etymology, traceable, ultimately, to the teaching practice and vision of Socrates 2,500 years ago who discovered by a method of probing questioning that people could not rationally justify their confident claims to knowledge. Confused meanings, inadequate evidence, or self-contradictory beliefs often lurked beneath smooth but largely empty rhetoric. Socrates established the fact that one cannot depend upon those in \"\"authority\"\" to have sound knowledge and insight. He demonstrated that persons may have power and high position and yet be deeply confused and irrational. He established the importance of asking deep questions that probe profoundly into thinking before we accept ideas as worthy of belief. He established the importance of seeking evidence, closely examining reasoning and assumptions, analyzing basic concepts, and tracing out implications not only of what is said but of what is done as well. His method of questioning is now known as \"\"Socratic Questioning\"\" and is the best known critical thinking teaching strategy. In his mode of questioning, Socrates highlighted the need in thinking for clarity and logical consistency. Socrates set the agenda for the tradition of critical thinking, namely, to reflectively question common beliefs and explanations, carefully distinguishing those beliefs that are reasonable and logical from those which — however appealing they may be to our native egocentrism, however much they serve our vested interests, however comfortable or comforting they may be — lack adequate evidence or rational foundation to warrant our belief. Socrates’ practice was followed by the critical thinking of Plato (who recorded Socrates’ thought), Aristotle, and the Greek skeptics, all of whom emphasized that things are often very different from what they appear to be and that only the trained mind is prepared to see through the way things look to us on the surface (delusive appearances) to the way they really are beneath the surface (the deeper realities of life)."

The continual purpose of Confucius' teaching was practical and designed to help each person improve one's character and conduct, and perhaps become prepared for an official position in the government. Although Confucius encouraged his students to learn about many things, he suggested that they be very selective and careful in what they said and did. Since Zizhang was studying to attain an official salary, the master recommended,Hear much and put aside what is doubtful while you speak cautiously of the rest. Then few will blame you.

"text": "Full Answer Egyptian soldiers were given a generous ration of five minae's worth of roast grain, two minae's worth of beef and four cups of wine each day. The wine was sometimes used to add flavor to honey-sweetened desserts. At home, they ate meals prepared with local meats and crops. Because of their wealth, soldiers had much more variety in their diets than most Egyptians. Cereal grains were used in a variety of ways by the ancient Egyptians. Emmer wheat and barley were used to make beer, cakes and bread. Lentils, chickpeas, lettuce, cucumbers, onions and garlic were grown and eaten. Some commonly eaten fruits include melons, pomegranates, figs, coconuts and apples. Many dishes were seasoned with fennel, poppy seed, cumin, juniper, fenugreek, aniseed and coriander. Sacrificial animal blood was used to make blood sausages."

"text": "Belly Dance Ancient Egypt Origins Egypt Dance (activity)Did belly dancing originate in ancient Egypt? If so, how?1 Answer Cassandra Strand, Married to an Egyptian, lived in Egypt, study Egypt (past and present)Answered Jul 5, 2016 · Author has 485 answers and 1.4m answer views Modern Belly Dance or Raqs Sharqi as we currently know it originated in the early 1900’s. It was a created as a stage solo performance and stemmed from earlier styles of local folk dances. If we look at the early videos and descriptions of “Belly Dance” and “Hootchie Cootchie” from the numerous Worlds Fairs and Expositions, we can find similarities in the basic movements but the style and execution differs in what we see today. Some of this of course is the natural evolution of a dance over time as no dance is static and unchanging but to those familiar with Middle Eastern Dance styles, the differences between what you see between the old films and the films of the early Egyptian Film industry (for 1 example) are strikingly different. Much of it is quite different still in comparing either of those with modern Belly Dance. Now, the question of whether any of the early influences and predecessors of modern Raqs Sharqi (as of the late 1800s to early 1900s) is a bit trickier. Nearly every country in the Middle East and North Africa has its own style of “Belly Dance.” Raqs Baladi, Ouled Nail, Shikkat, Guedra/T’bal, Ghawazee, Kocheck, etc… They all share similar movement vocabularies and even some similar costuming elements in their modern forms. It’s quite difficult to trace anything back further than our modern era and say with any certainty that Belly Dancing originated in any particular region or culture."

The homeland of Assyria was in the northeast corner of the Fertile Crescent where the Tigris River flows southward across the plains, and the mountains of Kurdistan loom up in the background. The city which gave its name to the country and empire, even as it took its own name from the national god, was Ashur. It was located strategically on a low bluff on the right bank of the Tigris at a place now called Qalat Sharqat (cf. Gen. 10, Nimrod). 1Assyria first appeared historically after the time of the Kingdom of Accad to whose sphere of influence it had belonged (2300-2100 B. C., but this early period is vague). The Assyrians had colonies in Asia Minor where they carried on extensive trade (see the Cappadocian Tablets and the unit on the Hittites—see the tablet at ANE #56).

"text": "\"The Archaic Period (800-500BC)The Archaic, or old period of ancient Greece was, until the discovery of the Mycenaean Civilization, thought to have been the beginning of Greek history. Although we now know that Greek history dates back to the Mycenaean times, the Archaic Period was a time of re-birth. Between the Mycenaean times and the Archaic Period was the Greek Dark Ages, a time of low population, iron-making, lawlessness, lack of art, and illiteracy (not being able to read or write). To understand the changes in the Archaic Period, we should review the Dark Ages of Greece. The poet Homer gives us our best look into this period in his poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey. The Dark Ages, according to these poems, was a time when kings had limited power. Kings are described as being poor farmers, thieves, and pirates. There was an aristocracy that ruled during the Dark Ages, men, whose families had attained power, but these men were not rich, nor did they have the total power of the Mycenaean kings before them. No one person could elevate himself above the rest. Dark Age Greeks could not read or write during this time (illiteracy)."

"text": "\"History Ancient History Ancient Egypt Q: Why Did Ancient Egyptians Call Their Land Kemet? A: Quick Answer The area that is known as Egypt today was called Kemet, which means \"\"black\"\" or \"\"black land,\"\" due to the rich black soil left behind after the yearly Nile floods. The word \"\"Egypt\"\" is actually taken from the word \"\"Kemet,\"\" but that is not the only name the Ancient Egyptians gave their land. They also called it \"\"Gift of the Nile\"\" because the only thing not covered by the red sands of the desert was the rich fertile lands along the river itself.

Full Answer The Nile and its gifts were the life blood of the Egyptian people, so naming their country after what kept them alive is not very surprising. The residents of the Nile were able to plant the same land every year without fear of it losing nutrients and there were some crops that they could plant twice a year. The Nile was also the main means of transport through the country, as well as being a defense."

Nonetheless, cuisine in Ancient Egypt was not much different from the food we eat today. The ancient world was not generally good for the health. People lived much shorter lives and often had access to less nutritious foods. However, the overall prosperity and fertility of Ancient Egypt made it a place of plenty, at least for the wealthy. Had the food not been as rich, the empires would not have lasted as long as they did. Generally speaking, there was a lot of food and drink in Ancient Egypt. It was just a lot harder to prepare than it is in modern society. What Did the Ancient Egyptians Eat? The term “Ancient Egypt” covers thousands of years, during which leadership and trade changed."

Even the most avid listeners of Howard Stern, rabid watchers of Spike TV, or fanatical listeners of WIP Sports Radio will occasionally set down the remote, lean back in their recliner, vent forth a hearty belch, and wonder what life was like in the time of the Pharaohs. Ancient Egypt as we think of it lasted from about 3200 BC to maybe 343 BC. After that, the country was ruled by non-Egyptians ranging from Persians to Greeks to Romans to Kurds to Turks and finally to the British. It wasn't until 1952 (or arguably 1956) of our own era that native Egyptians were finally back in charge. Of course, by then the old Egyptian culture was dead and gone. The last hieroglyphic inscription was written in 394 AD, and a cursive form was used until 425 AD. The last functional Egyptian temple was closed down around 535 AD. By then the Christian church was fully in charge of the former Roman Empire and didn't take kindly to any of the leftover heathenish cults. Certainly after the Islamic conquest you either worshiped as one of the people of the Book, or you didn't worship at all."

It was the first American space flight involving human beings. Shepard demonstrated that individuals can control a vehicle during weightlessness and high G stresses, and significant scientific biomedical data were acquired. He reached a speed of 5,100 miles per hour and his flight lasted 14.8 minutes. Feb. 20, 1962: John Glenn became the first American to circle the Earth, making three orbits in his Friendship 7 Mercury spacecraft. Despite some problems with spacecraft¾Glenn flew parts of the last two orbits manually because of an autopilot failure and left his normally jettisoned retrorocket pack attached to his capsule during reentry because of a loose heat shield¾this flight was enormously successful. The public, more than celebrating the technological success, embraced Glenn as a personification of heroism and dignity. Among other engagements, Glenn addressed a joint session of Congress and participated in several ticker-tape parades around the country.

"text": "\"Space Shuttle Feature Text Size Space Shuttle Canadarm Robotic Arm Marks 25 Years in Space 11.09.06 Originally, it was intended to be all brawn. It was obvious when the space shuttle was first thought up that there would have to be some way to get the enormous equipment it was meant to carry out of its cargo bay and into space. A few different options were considered – an ejection device, for instance – but it didn’t take long to settle on the idea of a glorified crane, something that could pick the equipment up, move it over and let it go. Image to right: On Space Shuttle mission STS-2, Nov. 1981, the Canadarm is flown in space for the first time. Image credit: NASA In the past 25 years, however, that glorified crane has proven itself to be more like the space shuttle’s right hand – or maybe its whole right arm, capable of both heavy lifting and an incredibly delicate touch. “ It’s done a lot more than it was ever intended to do,” said Peter Chadwick, a former systems engineer with SPAR Aerospace, the company that developed it. The remote manipulator system – named Canadarm in honor of the country that built it – flew for the first time on Nov. 13, 1981. It was only the second shuttle flight, and one of the mission’s main tasks was to test the arm out – wiggle it around a bit and see how it worked before the heavy lifting started. The plan was to spend a few hours a day over the five-day mission doing just that, but a malfunction in one of the fuel cells threw that plan off. The mission was shortened to two days, and the Canadarm tests were canceled."

The 248-page report, formally released at 10 a.m. EDT (1400 GMT), lays out in detail what has already been said about what went wrong -- both from a physical and organizational point of view -- and lays out what NASA needs to do before it returns any of its three remaining orbiters to the launch pad. The CAIB was established within the first 24 hours of Columbia's breakup over the western United States. Within three days of the accident, retired U. S. Navy Adm. Harold Gehman had reported for duty as the board's chairman and was leading an expedition to Texas and Louisana to tour Columbia's debris field. The cause of the accident was not immediately apparent. By the time the board concluded its five-month investigation, their was little, if any, doubt among investigators about the physical cause of the accident: Columbia attempted to re-enter and land the morning of Feb. 1 with a breach in its left wing inflicted some 16 days earlier by a breakaway chunk of foam 81.7 seconds after liftoff. \"\" In four simple words, the foam did it,\"\" said the board's only NASA official, Scott Hubbard, who oversaw the dramatic foam strike tests at Southwest Research Insitute, San Antonio, Texas. Hubbard emphasized the board's confidence in its conclusions about the technical root cause of the accident, pointing out that \"\"we didn't include the words probably, probable or most likely. \"\""

"text": "\"NASA Direct Text Size Ask The Mission Team - Question and Answer Session Mike Leinbach Launch Director + View Bio+ Listen to Podcast Rich O from Elk Grove, IL: What modifications were done to the external tank for STS-121 compared to the last shuttle launch? OK. Well, NASA's taken on quite a few modifications to the external tank following our STS-114 mission last July. In particular, we had one large piece of foam shed off of the tank. It was called the protuberance airload ramp, which is an aerodynamic feature of the external tank to keep the loads on the cable tray and the pressurization lines that go up the side of the external tank to a minimum. And we did see a piece of that foam break off during ascent last time, and so the modification we've made to the tank for this mission and all future missions is to simply remove that entire ramp -- it's a sprayed-on foam feature. We just simply removed that entire feature off of the tank for all future external tanks. We also had an issue at the bipod region of the external tank where the forward end of the orbiter connects to the tank. We had some wires that protruded from the external tank underneath of the foam, and there was some condensation accumulated in that area, and during ascent that condensation expanded as you would expect, became vapor and popped a little bit of the foam off that area, as well. And so we've modified that closeout area on those wires, as they come out of the intertank of the external tank, to preclude that condensation underneath of the foam itself."

( NASA)In 2003, Columbia disintegrated over Texas while returning from a 16-day trip to space.

Gene Grush recounts the events from NASA's perspective. ADVERTISEMENTWe were the design engineers, and we knew the space shuttle better than anyone. We were just there in case something out of the ordinary occurred. On Feb. 1, 2003, that’s exactly what happened.

Space capsules are the compartments designed to support humans during their journey through space. They must contain the basic elements that astronauts need to live — air to breathe, water to drink, and food to eat. They also have to protect the astronauts from the cold of space and space radiation. Capsules are well insulated and contain systems to adjust the internal temperature. There must be a way for the astronauts to secure themselves so they don't get jostled around during launch or re-entry; for this there are seats with strap systems. They also may need to strap themselves in a seat to work or bed to sleep when they are in space because they will be weightless. Capsules also have to be equipped with a way to communicate with mission control. What are the forces acting on a capsule when it is approaching a planet's surface?"

The spacecraft disintegrated over the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 11:39 EST (16:39 UTC ). The disintegration of the vehicle began after a joint in its right solid rocket booster (SRB) failed at liftoff. The failure was caused by the fact that O-ring seals used in the joint were not designed to handle the unusually cold conditions that existed at this launch. The seals' failure caused a breach in the SRB joint, allowing pressurized burning gas from within the solid rocket motor to reach the outside and impinge upon the adjacent SRB aft field joint attachment hardware and external fuel tank. This led to the separation of the right-hand SRB's aft field joint attachment and the structural failure of the external tank. Aerodynamic forces broke up the orbiter."

Brown Laurel Clark Ilan Ramon Inquiries Columbia Accident Investigation Board On February 1, 2003, the Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrated upon reentering Earth's atmosphere, killing all seven crew members. The disaster was the second fatal accident in the Space Shuttle program after Space Shuttle Challenger, which broke apart and killed the seven-member crew 73 seconds after liftoff in 1986. During the launch of STS-107, Columbia' s 28th mission, a piece of foam insulation broke off from the Space Shuttle external tank and struck the left wing of the orbiter. A few previous shuttle launches had seen damage ranging from minor to major from foam shedding, [1] [2] but some engineers suspected that the damage to Columbia was more serious. NASA managers limited the investigation, reasoning that the crew could not have fixed the problem if it had been confirmed. [ 3] When Columbia re-entered the atmosphere of Earth, the damage allowed hot atmospheric gases to penetrate and destroy the internal wing structure, which caused the spacecraft to become unstable and break apart. [ 4]After the disaster, Space Shuttle flight operations were suspended for more than two years, as they had been after the Challenger disaster. Construction of the International Space Station (ISS) was put on hold; the station relied entirely on the Russian Roscosmos State Corporation for resupply for 29 months until Shuttle flights resumed with STS-114 and 41 months for crew rotation until STS-121. Several technical and organizational changes were made, including adding a thorough on-orbit inspection to determine how well the shuttle's thermal protection system had endured the ascent, and keeping a designated rescue mission ready in case irreparable damage was found."

The film follows a group of blue-collar deep-core drillers sent by NASA to stop a gigantic asteroid on a collision course with Earth. It stars Bruce Willis and an ensemble cast comprising, Ben Affleck, Billy Bob Thornton, Liv Tyler, Owen Wilson, Will Patton, Peter Stormare, William Fichtner, Michael Clarke Duncan, Keith David, and Steve Buscemi. Armageddon opened in theaters two and a half months after the similar asteroid impact-based film Deep Impact which starred Robert Duvall and Morgan Freeman. Although Armageddon fared better at the box office, astronomers described Deep Impact as being more scientifically accurate. [ 3] [4]Armageddon was an international box-office success despite generally negative reviews from critics, becoming the highest-grossing film of 1998 worldwide.

It remains one of the worst accidents of the American space program. The space shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after lifting off. Bruce Weaver/Associated Press‘Obviously a Major Malfunction’Hardly more than a minute after liftoff and about 10 miles above Earth, the space shuttle Challenger erupted into a ball of flame. The Times reported that the “orange fireball and billowing white trails” initially confused many onlookers, who did not realize that something had gone terribly wrong. “ Obviously a major malfunction,” said Stephen A. Nesbitt of Mission Control, according to a transcript of the shuttle’s final moments. “ We have no downlink.” And then, after a long pause: “We have a report from the flight dynamics officer that the vehicle has exploded. ”The disaster was the first in which United States astronauts died in flight."

By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer | July 5, 2011 09:37am ETMOREThe shuttle Columbia lifts off on the first space shuttle mission ever, STS-1, on April 12, 1981. Credit: NASAWhen NASA's space shuttle program was announced back in 1972, it was billed as a major advance — a key step in humanity's quest to exploit and explore space. The shuttle would enable safe, frequent and affordable access to space, the argument went, with flights occurring as often as once per week and costing as little as $20 million each. But much of that original vision didn't come to pass. Two of the program's 134 flights have ended in tragedy, killing 14 astronauts in all. Recent NASA estimates peg the shuttle program's cost through the end of last year at $209 billion (in 2010 dollars), yielding a per-flight cost of nearly $1.6 billion. And the orbiter fleet never flew more than nine missions in a single year. The shuttle program is drawing to a close, with its last-ever mission — the STS-135 flight of Atlantis — slated to launch Friday (July 8). So now is as good a time as any to ask: Was it worth it?"

No, it was not cash from angel investors or venture capital. I’m in the middle of reading the Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson, and just came across that tidbit. Owner Investments To buy supplies to create the first products for sale, Wozniak sold his HP 65 Calculator for $500 and Jobs sold his VW bus for $750. With that working capital, a design for the product and a plan to sell units for $50 each, they expected to clear $700 after costs. On April 1st 1976 they drew up a partnership agreement for Apple Computer. The audience at the Homebrew Computer club was not impressed when the Jobs and Wozniak presented their first printed circuit boards, but one person stayed afterwards to talk for a while. Paul Terrell had three computer stores and visions of building a national chain.30 Day Credit Using a Purchase Order Jobs followed up with Terrell the next day. But Terrell wanted assembled computers, not printed circuit boards, to sell to end users, not tinkerers. He was willing to pay $500 each on delivery."

It might not have seemed it, but at the time Nike was struggling. Yes, they had a successful brand. But they were failing to fit their digital strategy into their line of literally hundreds of thousands of products. During their call, Steve Jobs gave one piece of advice that stuck with Parker:“Nike makes some of the best products in the world. Products that you lust after. But you also make a lot of crap. Just get rid of the crappy stuff and focus on the good stuff.” Steve Jobs“He was absolutely right,” said Parker. “ We had to edit."

Steve Jobs fought a rare form of pancreatic cancer Photo: PAUL SAKUMABy Michael Moritz7:30AM BST 27 Aug 2011Steve Jobs was, until this week, the chief executive of Apple, but much more importantly – even though his business card does not say this – he is a founder of the company. As the history of Apple shows, there is no greater distance known to man than the single footfall that separates a CEO from a founder. Chief executives are, for the most part, products of educational and institutional breeding. Founders or, at least, the very best of them, are unstoppable, irrepressible forces of nature. Of the many founders I’ve encountered, Jobs is the most captivating. Jobs, more than any one other person, has turned modern electronics into objects of desire. He has always possessed the soul of the questioning poet – someone a little removed from the rest of us who, from an early age, beat his own path. Had he been born at a different time, it’s easy to see how he would have hopped freight cars and followed his star. He was adopted in 1955 as a baby and raised by well-meaning parents in California who never had much money."

However, it's easy to forget that Jobs, who died Wednesday at 56, invested an important part of his life into two other companies: Ne XT and Pixar. After Jobs resigned from Apple in 1985, he founded Ne XT, a company focused on creating powerful computers for business and educational purposes. The company wasn't as successful as Jobs would have wanted — it ultimately sold about 50,000 computers — but it was very influential. Tim Berners-Lee famously used a Ne XTcube workstation to lay down the foundation of the first web server and web browser software. John Carmack wrote Wolfenstein 3D and Doom — which rank highly on the \"\"most influential games of all time\"\" list — on that same computer. Perhaps even more importantly, the folding of Ne XT into Apple showed that Jobs was a clever businessman who knew how to sell a company that wasn't very successful. Jobs sold Ne XT in 1997 to his other favorite company, Apple Computer, for $429 million in cash, which went to other investors, and $1.5 million in Apple shares that went to himself. Back then, Apple shares were hovering around $6. Today, one Apple share is worth $378.25."

Image 1 of 3Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak with an Apple I Photo: Reuters By Andrew Marszal3:30PM GMT 14 Dec 2011Follow Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak told Radio 4 this morning that the company he set up with the late Steve Jobs stood out from the relaxed Californian counter-culture due to Jobs’s corporate aspirations. He told Evan Davis, who also presents tonight’s BBC Two documentary Steve Jobs: Billion Dollar Hippy, that Steve Jobs had always wanted to run people and be seen as an important thinker, and developed a conservative streak as Apple’s success grew. “I was so close to Steve Jobs I could never really see the transition,” Wozniak said. “ I just wanted to be in engineering only – I never wanted to run a company, never wanted to run things, step on other people – Steve very clearly did, and wanted to be a top executive and a really important thinker in the world. ”The comments align with the ruthless image of Jobs presented in the TV documentary. Jobs, for instance, tricked a young Wozniak into writing code for a computer game but pocketed the majority of the payment for the project from Atari himself. Wozniak admits on the programme that he cried when he heard about Jobs’s scam following the release of a book on Jobs. “He was always focused on ‘if you can build things and sell them you can have a company’ and ‘the way you make money and importance in the world is with companies’,” Wozniak said. “ He wanted to be one of those important people in the world."

Understanding and interrupting that loop is key to breaking a habit, says journalist Charles Duhigg.i Stockphoto.com Listen Listening... Originally published on March 5, 2012 12:46 pm Think about something it took you a really long time to learn, like how to parallel park. At first, parallel parking was difficult and you had to devote a lot of mental energy to it. But after you grew comfortable with parallel parking, it became much easier — almost habitual, you could say. Parallel parking, gambling, exercising, brushing your teeth and every other habit-forming activity all follow the same behavioral and neurological patterns, says New York Times business writer Charles Duhigg. His new book The Power of Habit explores the science behind why we do what we do — and how companies are now working to use our habit formations to sell and market products to us. How Habits Form It turns out that every habit starts with a psychological pattern called a \"\"habit loop,\"\" which is a three-part process. First, there's a cue, or trigger, that tells your brain to go into automatic mode and let a behavior unfold. \"\" Then there's the routine, which is the behavior itself,\"\" Duhigg tells Fresh Air 's Terry Gross. \"\" That's what we think about when we think about habits. \"\""

"text": "\"CREDIT: Wesson Wang / Unsplash When Nike named Mark Parker its CEO in 2006, one of the first things Parker did was call Apple CEO Steve Jobs for advice. At the time, Nike was trying to fit its digital strategy into its line of hundreds of thousands of products. Steve Jobs said one thing that stuck with Parker:\"\"Nike makes some of the best products in the world. Products that you lust after. But you also make a lot of crap. Just get rid of the crappy stuff and focus on the good stuff. \"\"\"\" He was absolutely right,\"\" said Parker. \"\" We had to edit. \"\" Instead of going into another product line for technology, Nike stuck to what it did best while partnering with Apple. The result was Nike+, reportedly one of the most successful Nike campaigns ever."

Many do not realize how it started or how new it still is. The company was founded by two men named Stephen Wozniak (Woz) and Steve Jobs who both live in the Silicon Valley in California. Wozniak was fascinated by computers in high school and dropped out of the engineering program at University of California, Berkeley to work for Hewlett-Packard (HP). At this time, Hewlett-Packard only made calculators and minicomputers. Wozniak attended a local club in Menlo Park, California, called the Homebrew Computing Club. This was where he first heard of minicomputers. Wozniak was only twenty-six years old in 1976 when he wrote a BASIC programming language for a new microprocessor. He was able to give his friends at Homebrew copies as he helped them with their own designs. Steve Jobs was only twenty-one and worked for Atari, Inc. He also shared the same interest in computers as Wozniak."

"text": "\"Computers & Internet Other - Computers How did Apple start? Follow 17 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Steven Wozniak and Steven Jobs had been friends in high school. They had both been interested in electronics, and both had been perceived as outsiders. They kept in touch after graduation, and both ended up dropping out of school and getting jobs working for companies in Silicon Valley. ( Woz for Hewlett-Packard, Jobs for Atari) Wozniak had been dabbling in computer-design for some time when, in 1976, he designed what would become the Apple I. Jobs, who had an eye for the future, insisted that he and Wozniak try to sell the machine, and on April 1, 1976, Apple Computer was born. Hobbyists did not take the Apple I very seriously, and Apple did not begin to take off until 1977, when the Apple II debuted at a local computer trade show. The first personal computer to come in a plastic case and include color graphics, the Apple II was an impressive machine. Orders for Apple machines were multiplied by several times after its introduction. And with the introduction in early '78 of the Apple Disk II, the most inexpensive, easy to use floppy drive ever (at the time), Apple sales further increased. With the increase in sales, however, came an increase in company size, and by 1980, when the Apple III was released, Apple had several thousand employees, and was beginning to sell computers abroad."

"text": "\"Despite an enormous launch campaign, the Macintosh was a failure. Steve Jobs had predicted that Apple sell 500,000 Macs the first year, but by 1985.03.11 the company had sold only 10% of Jobs’ original prediction. What’s worse, Jobs was misbehaving. After Apple’s 1984 reorganization, the Macintosh and Lisa teams were merged into a division called Super Micro. Inexplicably, Jobs was given control. He probably made matters much worse during the first meeting of the new division by announcing that the Lisa team “really fucked up”. Jobs had instantly alienated some of the most talented engineers in the company and had stunned members of his own team. John Sculley, who had been CEO for only a year, wasn’t ready to castigate Apple’s chairman and largest shareholder, so Jobs was allowed to continue. Beyond the Mac Jobs’ top priority was to create the successor to the Macintosh and to create a network for existing Macintoshes. The Age of the Workstation was beginning, and companies like Sun were experiencing explosive growth."

"text": "Matt Buchanan, Gizmodo.com opinion 11.02.13 06:30 am How Steve Jobs Made the i Pad Succeed When All Other Tablets Failed Photo: Jon Snyder / WIREDSteve Jobs’s solution to Google’s Android-everywhere strategy was simple and audacious: he unveiled the i Pad. Many knew Jobs was going to unveil a tablet despite what he had told Walt Mossberg of *The Wall Street Journal *seven years before. “ It turns out people want keyboards . . . We look at the tablet and we think it is going to fail,” Jobs had said. If Google was going to try to win the mobile-platform war on breadth, Jobs was going to win it on depth . But he’d clearly reconsidered this. If Google was going to try to win the mobile-platform war on breadth, Jobs was going to win it on depth. All then-Android chief Andy Rubin had to do to expand Android was to get it on more and more machines; like Bill Gates with Windows, Rubin didn’t care which products were hits and which were not as long as in the aggregate the Android platform was growing. For Jobs to make Apple’s strategy work – to grow the i OS platform vertically – he needed to hit it out of the park every time. When executives inside and outside Apple wondered if Jobs was making the same mistake against Android that he made against Microsoft – if he was keeping his platform too rigid – it seemed that, if anything, Jobs was *increasing *its rigidity."

Two years after ENIAC was completed, the Manchester Mark 1 was completed. It was designed by John von Neumann and Alan Turing. Like ENIAC, Mark 1 relied on vacuum tubes, but it had many more than ENIAC and dramatically outperformed its predecessor.

"text": "2210412In less than 10 years, i Tunes has become so embedded in people’s everyday lives that it has all but disappeared into the overall fabric of our digital commerce. It’s hard to remember a time when selling a song by itself for $3.49 was an option, which it was, at least as a proposal, before i Tunes came along. Or when people had to buy an entire album in order to get that one hit single. For the industry, many business practices have become the norm – getting 70% of each sale, having proper invoices detailing exactly how many tracks have been sold and the ability to sell music on just about every device with a chip in it. What’s now taken for granted as standard operating procedures had to be carved through months of painful haggling, desperate handwringing and enough cursing to fill a thousand books. Here are seven ways in which i Tunes changed the landscape, in the words of the executives in the music business who played a part in making it happen.1. i Tunes created the first legitimate digital music store that competed effectively with piracy. “Steve [Jobs] created something that made it so easy for people to buy music. He had a complete thought that went from i Tunes to the i Pod. It made complete sense, and it was something he felt people would be willing to pay for."

So let's take a moment to reflect on his life and legacy. Nowadays, Apple is the most valuable company in the world, thanks in huge part to the Jobs' vision. But if you only saw the movie, you got less than half of the story. Once upon a time, Apple was a disaster, chewing through CEOs and delivering one bad quarter of financial results after another. In 1996, knowing he had to do something dramatic, Apple's CEO at the time Gil Amelio negotiated a deal to buy Ne XT, the computer company owned by an exiled Jobs, in hopes that he would bring some much-needed direction to the company. Instead, Jobs manipulated the board into getting Amelio fired and decided that if Apple were to be saved, he would be the one to do it — even if it meant getting help from the company's rivals at Microsoft. Here's what happened next. View As: One Page Slides In late 1996, Apple announced plans to bring cofounder Steve Jobs back into the fold 11 years after he left the company by acquiring his startup Ne XT for $429 million — just in time for Jobs to join then-Apple CEO Gil Amelio on stage at January 1997's Macworld Expo, a convention for Mac enthusiasts, as a keynote speaker. Lou Dematteis/Reuters Steve Jobs' Ne XT found its niche selling graphically intensive PCs with cutting-edge screens to universities and banks."

Owner Investments To buy supplies to create the first products for sale, Wozniak sold his HP 65 Calculator for $500 and Jobs sold his VW bus for $750. With that working capital, a design for the product and a plan to sell units for $50 each, they expected to clear $700 after costs. On April 1st 1976 they drew up a partnership agreement for Apple Computer. The audience at the Homebrew Computer club was not impressed when the Jobs and Wozniak presented their first printed circuit boards, but one person stayed afterwards to talk for a while. Paul Terrell had three computer stores and visions of building a national chain.30 Day Credit Using a Purchase Order Jobs followed up with Terrell the next day.

Apple ’s remarkable rise, coupled with Steve Jobs ’ recent death, has prompted quite a few people to reflect on the historical impact of the “Think Different” ad campaign and the “To the crazy ones” commercial that launched it. There have been a lot of different accounts of how the work was created, who conceived it, and how it was presented to Jobs, so I thought now was a good time to share my own perspective and give you an inside look. How do I know what took place? I was there—right in the thick of it. I was the creative director and managing partner at TBWA/Chiat/Day working on the Apple pitch alongside CEO and Chief Creative Officer Lee Clow. Together, Lee and I headed up and actively participated in all of the work done for the pitch. I was also in every agency meeting with Jobs throughout the process — pre-pitch, pitch and post-pitch. In writing this story, I’ve drawn from handwritten, dated creative journals I’ve diligently chronicled throughout my agency career as well as files I saved from the 1997 Apple time period (being a packrat often proves useful)."

"text": "2-The Apple-1CONTENTSDevelopment Marketing Hardware/Firmware Experiences Of Users Timeline Notes DEVELOPMENTApple-1 at Smithsonian (see here for a Portuguese translation of this page)At the Homebrew Computer club in Palo Alto, California (in Silicon Valley), Steve Wozniak, a 26 year old employee of Hewlett-Packard and a long-time digital electronics hacker, had been wanting to build a computer of his own for a long time. For years he had designed many on paper, and even written FORTRAN compilers and BASIC interpreters for these theoretical machines, but a lack of money kept him from carrying out his desire. He looked at the Intel 8080 chip (the heart of the Altair ), but at $179 decided he couldn’t afford it. A decision to not use the 8080 was considered foolhardy by other members of the club. Consider this description of the microcomputer “world” as it was in the summer of 1975: That summer at the Homebrew Club the Intel 8080 formed the center of the universe. The Altair was built around the 8080 and its early popularity spawned a cottage industry of small companies that either made machines that would run programs written for the Altair or made attachments that would plug into the computer. The private peculiarities of microprocessors meant that a program or device designed for one would not work on another. The junction of these peripheral devices for the Altair was known as the S-100 bus because it used one hundred signal lines. Disciples of the 8080 formed religious attachments to the 8080 and S-100 even though they readily admitted that the latter was poorly designed. The people who wrote programs or built peripherals for 8080 computers thought that later, competing microprocessors were doomed."

Image 1 of 3Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak with an Apple I Photo: Reuters By Andrew Marszal3:30PM GMT 14 Dec 2011Follow Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak told Radio 4 this morning that the company he set up with the late Steve Jobs stood out from the relaxed Californian counter-culture due to Jobs’s corporate aspirations. He told Evan Davis, who also presents tonight’s BBC Two documentary Steve Jobs: Billion Dollar Hippy, that Steve Jobs had always wanted to run people and be seen as an important thinker, and developed a conservative streak as Apple’s success grew. “I was so close to Steve Jobs I could never really see the transition,” Wozniak said. “ I just wanted to be in engineering only – I never wanted to run a company, never wanted to run things, step on other people – Steve very clearly did, and wanted to be a top executive and a really important thinker in the world. ”The comments align with the ruthless image of Jobs presented in the TV documentary. Jobs, for instance, tricked a young Wozniak into writing code for a computer game but pocketed the majority of the payment for the project from Atari himself. Wozniak admits on the programme that he cried when he heard about Jobs’s scam following the release of a book on Jobs. “He was always focused on ‘if you can build things and sell them you can have a company’ and ‘the way you make money and importance in the world is with companies’,” Wozniak said. “ He wanted to be one of those important people in the world."

Understanding and interrupting that loop is key to breaking a habit, says journalist Charles Duhigg.i Stockphoto.com Listen Listening... Originally published on March 5, 2012 12:46 pm Think about something it took you a really long time to learn, like how to parallel park. At first, parallel parking was difficult and you had to devote a lot of mental energy to it. But after you grew comfortable with parallel parking, it became much easier — almost habitual, you could say. Parallel parking, gambling, exercising, brushing your teeth and every other habit-forming activity all follow the same behavioral and neurological patterns, says New York Times business writer Charles Duhigg. His new book The Power of Habit explores the science behind why we do what we do — and how companies are now working to use our habit formations to sell and market products to us. How Habits Form It turns out that every habit starts with a psychological pattern called a \"\"habit loop,\"\" which is a three-part process. First, there's a cue, or trigger, that tells your brain to go into automatic mode and let a behavior unfold. \"\" Then there's the routine, which is the behavior itself,\"\" Duhigg tells Fresh Air 's Terry Gross. \"\" That's what we think about when we think about habits. \"\""

Steve Jobs fought a rare form of pancreatic cancer Photo: PAUL SAKUMABy Michael Moritz7:30AM BST 27 Aug 2011Steve Jobs was, until this week, the chief executive of Apple, but much more importantly – even though his business card does not say this – he is a founder of the company. As the history of Apple shows, there is no greater distance known to man than the single footfall that separates a CEO from a founder. Chief executives are, for the most part, products of educational and institutional breeding. Founders or, at least, the very best of them, are unstoppable, irrepressible forces of nature. Of the many founders I’ve encountered, Jobs is the most captivating. Jobs, more than any one other person, has turned modern electronics into objects of desire. He has always possessed the soul of the questioning poet – someone a little removed from the rest of us who, from an early age, beat his own path. Had he been born at a different time, it’s easy to see how he would have hopped freight cars and followed his star. He was adopted in 1955 as a baby and raised by well-meaning parents in California who never had much money."

Steve Jobs was the co-founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Apple, and arguably one of the world’s most successful and innovative businessmen. Apple’s creations like the Mac Book, the i Pod and the i Phone revolutionized the consumer electronics industry and changed the way we use technology in our daily lives. A Short Biography Adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs, Steve Jobs was born in San Francisco on February 24th, 1955. He attended Homestead High School in California and often went to the after-school lectures organized by the Hewlett-Packard Company. It was there that he met his eventual business partner, Steve Wozniak. Jobs had his early beginnings at Atari, working as a technician building circuit boards. In 1976, he started Apple with Steve Wozniak, with funding from a millionaire investor. In 1984, Apple developed the Macintosh, the first small computer with a graphic interface."

It was capable of computing the sum of 5,000 numbers ten digits in length per second. It’s name was ENIAC, and it was completed in 1946. It was as powerful as a modern pocket calculator. Two years after ENIAC was completed, the Manchester Mark 1 was completed. It was designed by John von Neumann and Alan Turing. Like ENIAC, Mark 1 relied on vacuum tubes, but it had many more than ENIAC and dramatically outperformed its predecessor. Many believed that due to the space required and heat generated by the Mark 1, no other computer would be able to outperform it using conventional vacuum tubes.

By Kyle Posted on: Jun 19, 2012 ¦ Article Rank: 47 ¦ Likes: 15362 Tweet Pin It Join 1000's of Authors at Street Articles Today!On October 5th, 2011, we lost one of the most important figures in technology we will likely ever see, Steve Jobs. There are absolute fallacies circulating about the death, so today I am going to uncover the backstory to the health issues and exactly how did Steve Jobs die. Steve Jobs has been fighting pancreatic cancer for the last few years and has had stints on and off from his work as CEO of Apple. Yesterday he succumb to the sickness and peacefully passed away in comfort from his family (at his home). In 15 years Steve Jobs has taken the brand we take for granted today, Apple, from close bankruptcy and a struggling computer business, to the highest earning tech company today. He has made the brand the most sought after, and the most cool brand. If you have a Macbook, or an i Mac, an i Phone or and i Pad, you have likely done so for the feeling of exclusivity and the cool factor. Known as a hard ass and a tough boss, Steve Jobs made many unilateral decisions in his career, and for good measure. One thing that he was known for was not looking in the past to try to determine the future."

That mystery co-founder is named Ronald Wayne. For his services back in 1976, Ronald was given 10% of Apple's equity. So why haven't you heard of him today? Why isn't he revered in the halls of tech immortality? Because 12 days after co-founding what would eventually grow into the most valuable company in the world, Ronald made the not-so-brilliant decision to sell his entire stake back to Jobs and Woz for a grand total of $2.300. It will likely go down as the worst business decision in history, especially when you consider the fact that his 10% stake would be worth $73 billion today."

The movie-length pilot episode and first season aired on ABC, and were set during World War II. From the second season, the series moved to CBS, was retitled The New Adventures of Wonder Woman, and the setting moved to the present day (ie. The '70s ). Wonder Woman, being an ageless Amazon, hadn't aged a day, while Lyle Waggoner switched to playing the remarkably familiar-looking Steve Trevor Jr. An unrelated failed Pilot Movie was broadcast about a year earlier, in 1974, starring Cathy Lee Crosby as a non-powered Wonder Woman in a very loose adaptation (verging on In-Name-Only ).

The pair met at age 17 in 1972, as students at Homestead High School in Cupertino, Calif., and Brennan’s stormy dealings with Jobs—over his initial denials of paternity, his treatment of Lisa, and his limited financial support—continued until his death nearly four decades later. Brennan offered her unsparing take on Jobs—and becoming an “object of his cruelty”—in a 2013 memoir, entitled The Bite in the Apple. But one till-now-unrevealed chapter of their tortured history unfolded after the period covered by Brennan’s book, during the time when her ex- was achieving his highest renown and wealth. It’s the story of how she asked Jobs, by then a billionaire, to repent for his “dishonorable behavior” with a $25 million payment to her—and another $5 million for their daughter, then 27. Brennan, now 60, made her request in an undated, single-spaced, two-page letter, which she says she sent to Jobs in December 2005. She later provided a copy to Fortune ( click here to read Brennan’s letter). A self-described “transmutational” painter and sculptor, Brennan was struggling financially then, as she had throughout her adult life. Jobs, then 50 and the CEO of both Apple (aapl, -2.47%) and Pixar, was worth an estimated $3 billion. “I have raised our daughter under circumstances that were all together too tough and tougher than they needed to be,” Brennan wrote Jobs. “"

Heck, after getting through only a third of the Walter Isaacson biography, it's pretty clear that even Jobs might have come to a better understanding of the delights and demons that drove him had he lived to a ripe, old, philosophical age. But neither the hundreds of pages of his authorized biography or his enigmatic final words, as recounted in Mona Simpson's eulogy (published as an op-ed by the New York Times) give us the Steve Jobs we encounter in the rest of Simpson's extraordinary portrait of her brother. Our sense of loss when a famous person whom we've never met but with whom we've convinced ourselves we have a connection — after all, we did all call him Steve — is one thing. It is easy to forget that public people have private lives, and close family, for whom the loss is deep and personal and ... real.

Becoming Steve Jobs, by Brent Schlender and Rick Tetzeli, claims that Jobs angrily turned down Cook's offer, despite his rare blood type making the chances of a liver match very slim. According to the book, which charts Jobs' life from young entrepreneur to founding and running the largest company in the world, Cook went to see Jobs at his home in 2009, something he would do every day. Jobs had been ill since late-2003 and had now reportedly developed ascites - an accumulation of fluid in the abdomen. He looked frail and tired, and would lay in bed all day while waiting for a liver transplant. Cook was convinced Jobs was going to die and went to a hospital for tests to see if he shared his friend's rare blood type. Cook returned to Jobs' house the next day and showed the Apple founder his medical records. He added that he was a blood match and there was no risk involved in the operation. As the liver can regenerate and grow, Cook only needed to give Jobs a small part of his own organ.

"text": "Health Why Is Pancreatic Cancer So Deadly? The illness that ultimately felled Apple founder Steve Jobs often kills shortly after diagnosis By Melinda Wenner Moyer on October 5, 2011Credit: Courtesy of Spaceageboy/Flickr Editor's note: This story originally appeared in 2008. We are reposting a version of it in light of the death of Apple Computer co-founder Steve Jobs from complications from pancreatic cancer. Patients tend to die shortly after diagnosis, but Jobs was unusual in that he survived seven years after he got the bad news (he had a less aggressive form of the cancer). Overall, the odds of a patient living five years is just 5.8 percent, according to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( pdf ). Editor's note (10/17/11): The following clarification comes from Allyson Ocean of the New York–Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center: Steve Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer, a malignancy of the endocrine cells of the pancreas, which usually has a more indolent, slow-growing course than adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, which is a malignancy of the exocrine cells of the pancreas. Patients with adenocarcinoma have a worse prognosis and usually more rapid deterioration. Also, the two cancers are treated in different ways. The pancreas secretes hormones and enzymes to digest our fats. One of those hormones is insulin, which prompts the body to use sugar in the blood rather than fat as energy."

"text": "\"Posted by Miles Mc Evoy, National Organic Program Deputy Administrator in Conservation Food and Nutrition Technology May 17, 2013This is the thirteenth installment of the Organic 101 series that explores different aspects of the USDA organic regulations. The use of genetic engineering, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs), is prohibited in organic products. This means an organic farmer can’t plant GMO seeds, an organic cow can’t eat GMO alfalfa or corn, and an organic soup producer can’t use any GMO ingredients. To meet the USDA organic regulations, farmers and processors must show they aren’t using GMOs and that they are protecting their products from contact with prohibited substances, such as GMOs, from farm to table. Organic operations implement preventive practices based on site-specific risk factors, such as neighboring conventional farms or shared farm equipment or processing facilities. For example, some farmers plant their seeds early or late to avoid organic and GMO crops flowering at the same time (which can cause cross-pollination). Others harvest crops prior to flowering or sign cooperative agreements with neighboring farms to avoid planting GMO crops next to organic ones. Farmers also designate the edges of their land as a buffer zone where the land is managed organically, but the crops aren’t sold as organic. Any shared farm or processing equipment must be thoroughly cleaned to prevent unintended exposure to GMOs or prohibited substances. All of these measures are documented in the organic farmer’s organic system plan."

"text": "Bending Basics: The fundamentals of heavy bending Know what governs the minimum bend radius The FABRICATOR December 2013January 2, 2014 By: Steve Benson When bending on a press brake, thicker and harder plates require larger minimum bend radii. Finding the true minimum bend radius for steel or aluminum plate requires a little research. Nonetheless, the answers are there, waiting for you to find them. Figure 1: A plate’s grains run parallel to the rolling direction. While sheet metal gauges run from 0.005 to 0.249 inch thick, aluminum and steel plate thicknesses start at 0.250 in. and go all the way up to 13 in. or even more. Likewise, plate steel varies in strengths from mild varieties to some very high-strength materials such as Hardox ®. When it comes to very thick or high-tensile-strength material, traditional rules for determining minimum bend radii, minimum punch nose radii, die openings, bending force calculations, and tooling requirements may no longer apply—at least not in the same way that they do when working with thinner gauges. Because the workpiece can be extremely thick and strong, you need to understand the variables and learn how to work with them."

Yet behind closed doors, Steve Jobs could be a sexist bully, a skinflint and a pathological liar who behaved appallingly, according to a forthcoming memoir by the first girlfriend of the Apple boss. In a candid account of their on-off relationship through the 1970s, Chrisann Brennan, the mother of Jobs’s eldest child, depicts an “emotional vortex” of a man badly scarred by his childhood. The Apple chief, who died of pancreatic cancer in 2011 at the age of 56, is repeatedly accused of wrongdoing in The Bite in the Apple, due to be published in the United States this month. The memoir tells the full story of how one of the most accomplished captains of American industry often behaved like a spoilt brat.

"text": "\"Fascinating facts about the invention of the Personal Computer by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in 1976. PERSONAL COMPUTERPersonal Computers, microcomputers were made possible by two technical innovations in the field of microelectronics: the integrated circuit, or IC, which was developed in 1959; and the microprocessor, which first appeared in 1971. The IC permitted the miniaturization of computer-memory circuits, and the microprocessor reduced the size of a computer's CPU to the size of a single silicon chip. The invention of the microprocessor, a machine which combines the equivalent of thousands of transistors on a single, tiny silicon chip, was developed by Ted Hoff at Intel Corporation in the Santa Clara Valley south of San Francisco, California, an area that was destined to become known to the world as Silicon Valley because of the microprocessor and computer industry that grew up there. Because a CPU calculates, performs logical operations, contains operating instructions, and manages data flows, the potential existed for developing a separate system that could function as a complete microcomputer. The first such desktop-size system specifically designed for personal use appeared in 1974; it was offered by Micro Instrumentation Telemetry Systems (MITS). The owners of the system were then encouraged by the editor of a popular technology magazine to create and sell a mail-order computer kit through the magazine. The computer, which was called Altair, retailed for slightly less than $400. The demand for the microcomputer kit was immediate, unexpected, and totally overwhelming. Scores of small entrepreneurial companies responded to this demand by producing computers for the new market."

The original Macintosh was the company's first mass-market personal computer that featured a graphical user interface, built-in screen and mouse. [ 1] Apple sold the Macintosh alongside its popular Apple II family of computers for almost ten years before the latter was cancelled in 1993. Early Macintosh models were expensive, hindering its competitiveness in a market already dominated by the Commodore 64 for consumers, as well as the IBM Personal Computer and its accompanying clone market for businesses. [ 2] Macintosh systems still found success in education and desktop publishing and kept Apple as the second-largest PC manufacturer for the next decade. In the early 1990s, Apple introduced models such as the Macintosh LC II and Color Classic which were price-competitive with Wintel machines at the time."

"text": "Steve Jobs founded Apple not once but twice As Steve Jobs steps down as Apple chief executive, his biographer, Michael Moritz, pays tribute to a man who changed the world. Steve Jobs fought a rare form of pancreatic cancer Photo: PAUL SAKUMABy Michael Moritz7:30AM BST 27 Aug 2011Steve Jobs was, until this week, the chief executive of Apple, but much more importantly – even though his business card does not say this – he is a founder of the company. As the history of Apple shows, there is no greater distance known to man than the single footfall that separates a CEO from a founder. Chief executives are, for the most part, products of educational and institutional breeding. Founders or, at least, the very best of them, are unstoppable, irrepressible forces of nature. Of the many founders I’ve encountered, Jobs is the most captivating. Jobs, more than any one other person, has turned modern electronics into objects of desire. He has always possessed the soul of the questioning poet – someone a little removed from the rest of us who, from an early age, beat his own path. Had he been born at a different time, it’s easy to see how he would have hopped freight cars and followed his star. He was adopted in 1955 as a baby and raised by well-meaning parents in California who never had much money."

In 1984, as a first-year college student in Austin, Texas, Michael Dell borrowed $1,000 from his parents to start a computer accessories business. He began by selling kits to help customers upgrade their personal computers, establishing a business model his company, Dell, Inc., still follows today: sell directly to consumers, eliminating the middle step of a retail store or a distributor, and hold on to far more of the profits. In just two decades, Dell's company grew to massive proportions, with more than 47,000 employees and annual revenues of more than $40 billion. Dell himself was squarely at the top of Forbes magazine's list of the ten wealthiest Americans under the age of forty. He has been praised as a visionary and an innovator, but he has also earned admiration for being a stable, consistent leader. In an industry that changes rapidly, in terms of both technology and personnel, Dell has stood out from his peers by remaining at the helm of his company from its struggling early days to its current status as a major player in the global field of information technology (IT). A businessman from the beginning Michael Saul Dell was born in 1965 in Houston, Texas. While he displayed intelligence and ingenuity from an early age, he had little interest in school."

This excerpt from “So Good They Can’t Ignore You” tells the much messier story behind the old saying, “do what you love. ”By Cal Newport 6 minute Read In June 2005, Steve Jobs took the podium at Stanford Stadium to give the commencement speech to Stanford’s graduating class. Wearing jeans and sandals under his formal robe, Jobs addressed a crowd of 23,000 with a short speech that drew lessons from his life. About a third of the way into the address, Jobs offered the following advice: You’ve got to find what you love…. [ T]he only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking, and don’t settle. When he finished, he received a standing ovation. Steve Jobs–a guru of iconoclastic thinking–put his stamp of approval on an immensely appealing piece of popular career advice, which I call the passion hypothesis: The key to occupational happiness is to first figure out what you’re passionate about and then find a job that matches this passion. This hypothesis is one of modern American society’s most well-worn themes."

"text": "\"Steve Jobs's Other Amazing Companies: Ne XT and Pixar Share Share By Stan Schroeder Oct 06, 2011Most people know Steve Jobs by his connection with Apple, and indeed, that was the company that Jobs loved the most, and that was the company he poured his life into. However, it's easy to forget that Jobs, who died Wednesday at 56, invested an important part of his life into two other companies: Ne XT and Pixar. After Jobs resigned from Apple in 1985, he founded Ne XT, a company focused on creating powerful computers for business and educational purposes. The company wasn't as successful as Jobs would have wanted — it ultimately sold about 50,000 computers — but it was very influential. Tim Berners-Lee famously used a Ne XTcube workstation to lay down the foundation of the first web server and web browser software. John Carmack wrote Wolfenstein 3D and Doom — which rank highly on the \"\"most influential games of all time\"\" list — on that same computer. Perhaps even more importantly, the folding of Ne XT into Apple showed that Jobs was a clever businessman who knew how to sell a company that wasn't very successful. Jobs sold Ne XT in 1997 to his other favorite company, Apple Computer, for $429 million in cash, which went to other investors, and $1.5 million in Apple shares that went to himself. Back then, Apple shares were hovering around $6. Today, one Apple share is worth $378.25."

"text": "\"Why Did One Of Apple's Co-Founders Trade His Billion Dollar Stake For Just $800? By Brian Warner on June 9, 2014 in Articles › Entertainment Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Randomize If I asked you to name the founders of Apple Computer, you'd probably answer Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, right? Well, you might be surprised to learn that there was actually a third founder alongside the two Steves, a long forgotten man named Ronald Wayne. Ronald Wayne provided the original venture capital and professional guidance that launched Apple. He drew up all the original partnership contracts and even designed their first corporate logo. In return Wayne was given a 10% stake in the future tech behemoth. So where is Ronald Wayne today? Considering Apple's current market cap is just over $400 billion, he must be a multi-multi-billionaire with mansions and private jets all over the world, right? Actually, in what may go down as the worst business decision in history, Ronald sold his 10% stake in Apple more than 35 years ago for a measly $800 and ended up living a modest life in rural Nevada. Why, in the name of Zeus' BUTTHOLE, did he do that?"

It was a monstrous machine, covering more than 136 square meters and used 18,000 vacuum tubes (the predecessors to the transistor). It was capable of computing the sum of 5,000 numbers ten digits in length per second. It’s name was ENIAC, and it was completed in 1946. It was as powerful as a modern pocket calculator. Two years after ENIAC was completed, the Manchester Mark 1 was completed. It was designed by John von Neumann and Alan Turing. Like ENIAC, Mark 1 relied on vacuum tubes, but it had many more than ENIAC and dramatically outperformed its predecessor. Many believed that due to the space required and heat generated by the Mark 1, no other computer would be able to outperform it using conventional vacuum tubes. Transistors and Integrated Circuits In 1948, there was a breakthrough."
