"text": "Syria is a country located in the Middle East on the shore of Mediterranean Sea and bordered, from the north down to the west, by Turkey, Iraq, Jordan, Israel, and Lebanon. It is one of the oldest inhabited regions in the world with archaeological finds dating the first human habitation at c. 700,000 years ago. The Dederiyeh Cave near Aleppo has produced a number of significant finds, such as bones, placing Neanderthals in the region at that time and shows continual occupation of the site over a substantial period. The first evidence of modern humans appears c. 100,000 years ago as evidenced by finds of human skeletons, ceramics, and crude tools. There seem to have been mass migrations throughout the region that impacted the various communities but, as there is no written record of the period, it is unknown why they happened if they did occur. These migrations are suggested by archaeological finds throughout the region showing significant changes in the manufacture of ceramics and tools found at various sites. These developments, however, could be just as easily explained by cultural exchange between tribes in a region or simply similar developments in the manufacturing process rather than large-scale migration. The historian Soden notes that,Scholars have sought to deduce especially important developments, for example, folk migrations, from cultural changes which can be read in archaeological remains, particularly in ceramic materials…Yet there can be frequent and substantial changes in the ceramic style, even if no other people has come onto the scene. ( 13)It is thought that climate change in the area c. 15,000 years ago may have influenced humans to abandon the hunter-gatherer lifestyle and initiate an agricultural one or that migrating tribes introduced agriculture to different regions. Soden writes, “We term 'prehistoric' those epochs in which nothing had yet been written down, without thereby assuming that events of great significance had not yet taken place” (13)."

"text": "\"Ḥusayn ibn ‘Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib () (3rd Sha‘bān 4 AH - 10th Muharram 61 AH; 8th January 626 AD - 10th October 680 AD) was the grandson of the Islam, Muhammad, and the son of ‘Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib (final Caliph and first Shī‘ah Imām) and Fātimah Zahrā (daughter of Muhammad). Husayn is an important figure in Islām as he is a member of the Ahlul Bayt (the household of Muhammad) and Ahlul Kisā, as well as being a Imām, and one of The Fourteen Infallibles of Twelvers . Husayn ibn ‘Alī is revered as a martyr who fought tyranny, as he refused to pledge allegiance to Yazīd I, the Umayyad caliph. He rose up to create a regime that would reinstate a “true” Islāmic polity as opposed to what he considered the unjust rule of the Umayyads. The Anniversary of his martyrdom is called ‘Āshūrā ( \"\"tenth\"\" day of Muharram) and is a day of mourning and religious observance for all Muslims. Revenge for Husayn's death was turned into a rallying cry that helped undermine the Umayyad caliphate, and gave impetus to the rise of a powerful Shī‘ah movement. He and his brother Imam Hassan were the only descendants of Muhammad who remained alive. Many of the accounts about Muhammad's treatment of his grandsons and his great love for them deal with them together and at times confuse them. According to Madelung, Muhammad loved them and declared them as his Ahlul Bayt frequently. The Quran has accorded the Ahl al-Bayt of the Prophet an elevated position above the rest of the faithful."

[ 1] [2] [3] [4] It can have many shades of meaning in an Islamic context, such as struggle against one's evil inclinations, an exertion to convert unbelievers, or efforts toward the moral betterment of society, [1] [2] [5] though it is most frequently associated with war. [ 6] In classical Islamic law, the term refers to armed struggle against unbelievers, [2] [3] while modernist Islamic scholars generally equate military jihad with defensive warfare. [ 7] [8] In Sufi and pious circles, spiritual and moral jihad has been traditionally emphasized under the name of greater jihad. [ 9] [3] The term has gained additional attention in recent decades through its use by terrorist groups. The word jihad appears frequently in the Quran with and without military connotations, [10] often in the idiomatic expression \"\"striving in the path of God (al-jihad fi sabil Allah) \"\". [ 11] [12] Islamic jurists and other ulema of the classical era understood the obligation of jihad predominantly in a military sense. [ 13] They developed an elaborate set of rules pertaining to jihad, including prohibitions on harming those who are not engaged in combat. [ 14] [15] In the modern era, the notion of jihad has lost its jurisprudential relevance and instead given rise to an ideological and political discourse. ["

[ 1] Historically, the caliphates were polities based in Islam which developed into multi-ethnic trans-national empires. [ 2] During the medieval period, three major caliphates succeeded each other: the Rashidun Caliphate (632–661), the Umayyad Caliphate (661–750) and the Abbasid Caliphate (750–1258). In the fourth major caliphate, the Ottoman Caliphate, the rulers of the Ottoman Empire claimed caliphal authority from 1517. During the history of Islam, a few other Muslim states, almost all hereditary monarchies, have claimed to be caliphates. [ 1]Prior to the rise of Muhammad and the unification of the Arab tribes of the Arabian Peninsula under Islam, the tribes of Arabia followed a pre-Islamic Arab polytheism, lived as self-governing sedentary and nomadic communities and often raided their neighbouring tribes.

He was an expert Muslim jurist known for his pious and just nature, which earned him the epithet Al-Farooq (\"\"the one who distinguishes (between right and wrong)\"\"). He is sometimes referred to as Umar I by historians of Islam, since a later Umayyad caliph, Umar II, also bore that name.

It served as the power base of Islam in its first century where the early Muslim community developed. Medina is home to the three oldest mosques, namely the Quba Mosque, al-Masjid an-Nabawi, [1] and Masjid al-Qiblatayn (\"\"the mosque of the two qiblas \"\"). Muslims believe that the chronologically final surahs of the Quran were revealed to Muhammad in Medina, and are called Medinan surahs in contrast to the earlier Meccan surahs.

The term \"\"Late Antiquity\"\" is used to emphasize elements of continuity with the Roman Empire, while \"\"Early Middle Ages\"\" is used to emphasize developments characteristic of the later medieval period. The period saw a continuation of trends begun during late classical antiquity, including population decline, especially in urban centres, a decline of trade, and increased immigration. The period has been labelled the \"\" Dark Ages \"\", a characterization highlighting the relative scarcity of literary and cultural output from this time, especially in Northwestern Europe.

Many of these trends were reversed later in the period.

The rise of Muslims coincided with an unprecedented political, social, economic and military weakness in Persia. Once a major world power, the Sasanian Empire had exhausted its human and material resources after decades of warfare against the Byzantine Empire. The internal political situation quickly deteriorated after the execution of King Khosrow II in 628 AD. Subsequently, ten new claimants were enthroned within the next four years. [ 3] With conflict erupting between Persian and Parthian factions, the empire was no longer centralized. Arab Muslims first attacked the Sassanid territory in 633, when general Khalid ibn Walid invaded Mesopotamia (Sassanid province of Asōristān; what is now Iraq ), which was the political and economic center of the Sassanid state. [ 4] Following the transfer of Khalid to the Byzantine front in the Levant, the Muslims eventually lost their holdings to Sassanian counterattacks. The second invasion began in 636 under Saad ibn Abi Waqqas, when a key victory at the Battle of al-Qādisiyyah led to the permanent end of Sasanian control west of Iran. The Zagros mountains then became a natural barrier and border between the Rashidun Caliphate and the Sassanid Empire."

[ 1]For much of the region's history a patchwork of tribal rulers controlled most of the area. The Al Saud (the Saudi royal family) emerged as minor tribal rulers in Najd in central Arabia. Over the following 150 years, the extent of the Al Saud territory fluctuated. However, between 1902 and 1927, the Al Saud leader, Abdulaziz, carried out a series of wars of conquest which resulted in his establishing the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1930. From 1930 until his death in 1953, Abdulaziz ruled Saudi Arabia as an absolute monarchy. Thereafter six of his sons in succession have reigned over the kingdom: Saud, the immediate successor of Abdulaziz, faced opposition from most in the royal family and was eventually deposed."

Mighty empires rose and fell, religions spread and were checked, and great kings led their forces to glory... or ruin. These battles span the centuries, from Gaugamela in 331 B.

Some 40,000 Macedonians under Alexander the Great were on the move eastward, embarking on an expedition of conquest that would end in India. In their way, however, stood perhaps 50-100,000 Persians led by Darius III. The Battle of Gaugamela was a crushing defeat for the Persians, who lost about half their army.

Its purpose was to boost the country’s confidence and help banks resume daily functions after the start of the Great Depression. The RFC became more prominent under the New Deal and continued to operate through World War II. It was disbanded in 1957, when the US government concluded that it no longer needed to stimulate lending. The RFC was an independent agency of the United States government, and fully owned and operated by the government. The idea was suggested by Eugene Meyer of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, recommended by President Hoover, and established by Congress in 1932. It was modeled after the War Finance Corporation of World War I. In total, it gave $2 billion in aid to state and local governments and made a large number of loans, nearly all of which were repaid. The agency played a major role in recapitalizing banks in the 1930s and it was effective in reducing bank failures and stimulating bank lending.

S. federal government Hugh Rockoff Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/S0922-1425 (98)00057-7 Get rights and content Abstract This paper addresses a deceptively simple question: how much did America's involvement in World War II contribute to the long-run growth of the federal government? It is often claimed that the war produced a major federal expansion because the agencies that were created or expanded during the war retained part of their wartime budgets and authority by fighting cuts and enlisting the support of special interests. The taxes to support an expanded bureaucracy were forthcoming, moreover, because the public had been conditioned to high taxes during the war. This claim, often referred to as the `ratchet' hypothesis, is explored by investigating federal spending, federal employment, the structure of the federal bureaucracy, and the federal regulatory burden. The main conclusion is that the increases traceable to the war are better explained by changes in public attitudes toward the services provided by government, by demand, rather than by the ratchet. The question then becomes how were ratchets avoided? The paper does not offer a complete explanation, but it explores one proximate device: the creation of emergency war agencies that could easily be abolished when the war was over. The ratchet hypothesis is only one possible channel through which the war could have produced an expansion of government. In the penultimate section I argue that the war contributed to the ideological swing toward big government then in progress by apparently confirming the validity of Keynesian revolution in macroeconomics, and that through this channel the war did play an important role in the postwar expansion of the federal government.

With a budget of over $27 billion, USAID is one of the largest official aid agencies in the world, and accounts for more than half of all U. S. foreign assistance (which in absolute dollar terms is the highest in the world). Congress passed the Foreign Assistance Act on September 4, 1961, which reorganized U.

Kennedy, who sought to unite several existing foreign assistance organizations and programs under one agency. [ 4] USAID became the first U. S. foreign assistance organization whose primary focus was long-term socioeconomic development. USAID's programs are authorized by Congress in the Foreign Assistance Act, [5] which Congress supplements through directions in annual funding appropriation acts and other legislation. As an official component of U. S. foreign policy, USAID operates subject to the guidance of the President, Secretary of State, and the National Security Council.

Pari Passu Clause And Negative Pledge The primary purpose of this thesis is to analyze the pari passu (PPC) clause and negative pledge (NCP) clause. In doing so, the focus will be placed upon the use and effect of the aforesaid clauses in International Finance. This research paper sets out to explore in depth the use of the clauses, so as to show the effect they have in International Finance. Pari passu and negative pledge clauses comprise two of the most important and primary non-financial covenants and undertakings whose aim are to guarantee the unrelenting reliability of the credit facility being advanced on top of giving the bank certain inside information on and limited control over the borrower's business. The pari passu clause is a covenant or a warranty that bank loans and bonds 'rank pari passu' amid all the other unsecured debt of the borrower or issuer. The clause appears in both corporate and sovereign debt obligations. Pari passu is a Latin phrase whose definition is 'equal footstep' or 'equal footing'. In the legal sense, however, the term is used in the context of 'proportionally; at an equal pace; without preference' ."

The earth to be spann'd, connected by network,The races, neighbors, to marry and be given in marriage,The oceans to be cross'd, the distant brought near,The lands to be welded together.76Through the 1880s, if not beyond, the mass production of steel in the United States was predicated on the mass consumption of steel rails. In turn mass consumption required a sustained building campaign by the railroads. By the 1860s, the northern and eastern states already had a primary rail network in place, a factor often cited in the North's success in prosecuting an industrialized War against the South. The defining demand for rails arose only with the impressive mileage that was laid down in the trans-Mississippi West after 1880 (see Figure I.13). In this respect the peculiar character of Bessemer steelmaking in America was ultimately a product of the nation's western expansion, \"\"the lands to be welded together,\"\". INSERT Figure I.13 Railroad Building by Region (1860-1900)Given their substantial investment -- and considering the outlay for rails was exceeded only by the staggering outlay for cutting, filling, and grading the route -- the major railroads had to ensure they had sufficient traffic and revenues. Demand could not be left to chance. For the major eastern trunk lines like the Pennsylvania, the New York Central, and the Baltimore & Ohio the problem was controlling competition ( see chapter 4 ). For the transcontinental railroads pushing beyond the Mississippi River, or even more boldly beyond the Missouri, the problem was creating traffic."

Peet Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/B978-008044910-4.00185-1 Get rights and content Private and public institutions conducting operations in multiple countries are international organizations – for example, multinational corporations, international financial institutions, international political, cultural, and economic institutions, and international nongovernmental institutions. International organizations have become more important in the post-World War II period as economies, cultures, and polities have globalized – that is, as the time needed to traverse space has decreased and the operations of institutions have increased in scale. However international organizations cluster in relatively few global cities that form centers of command over the world economy. Author Keywords Conditionality; Counter-hegemony; Global cities; Globalization; Hegemony;Institutionalism; Investment bank; Regulation Introduction International organizations are private and public institutions operating in several or many countries. Private international organizations are typified by multinational corporations that operate in several countries, but maintain a definite base in one; and by transnational corporations, operating internationally and without particular national commitment. Public international organizations are typified by the international financial institutions, as with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, and the World Trade Organization (WTO) and international political, cultural, and economic institutions, typically the United Nations (UN) and its various agencies like the World Health Organization (WHO), the UN Development Program (UNDP), and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). There are also several major institutions that have memberships restricted to small groups of countries, yet operate internationally, as with the Organization for European Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the group of seven or eight countries (G7/8). International organizations have assumed increasing significance in the post-World War II period as economies, cultures, and polities have globalized – that is, as the time needed to traverse space has decreased and the operations of institutions have increased in scale. Theoretical Approaches One way of looking at the relationship between the two types of international organizations, private and public, is that the public institutions regulate a global economy and polity that would be more crisis prone if it were to operate alone. A version of this that is significant in human geography is referred to as regulation theory."

It was proposed by Hoover and created by Congress in January 1932. The collapse in the value of assets combined with demands from panicky depositors to get their money out meant that many banks that were otherwise solvent, hoarded their money and refused to make loans. It was much like the Financial Crisis of 2008. The RFC could make loans to banks, insurance companies and railroads. The Emergency Relief and Construction Act of July 21, 1932, enlarged its power to allow for loans to state government and to farm agencies. The immediate aim was to restore confidence in financial institutions generally and encourage them to start lending again, prevent ruinous bankruptcies that would further destabilize the shaky economy, and—hopefully—revive the economy through the restoration of credit."

Assistance Effects of World War IIAuthorization of Federal funds Early Federal Aid Although both State and local legislation authorized local school districts to provide meals for children through various means, it soon became evident that local governments and school district boards could not provide the funds necessary to carry the increasing load. Supplementary contributions by charitable organizations and individuals did not suffice. Aid from Federal sources became inevitable. The earliest Federal aid came from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation in 1932 and 1933 when it granted loans to several towns in southwestern Missouri to cover the cost of labor employed in preparing and serving school lunches. Such Federal assistance was expanded to other areas in 1933 and 1934 under the operations of the Civil Works Administration and the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, reaching into 39 States and covering the employment of 7,442 women. Commodity Donation Program The depression of the 1930s brought on widespread unemployment. Millions of people in the cities lost their jobs and were without means of support for themselves and their families. They were obliged to seek help through public assistance programs. Much of the production of the farm went begging for a market, surpluses of farm products continued to mount, prices of farm products declined to a point where farm income provided only a meager subsistence. Millions of school children were unable to pay for their school lunches, and with but limited family resources to provide meals at home, the danger of malnutrition among children became a national concern."

During the war 17 million new civilian jobs were created, industrial productivity increased by 96 percent, and corporate profits after taxes doubled. The government expenditures helped bring about the business recovery that ;had eluded the New Deal. War needs directly consumed over one-third of the output of industry, but the expanded productivity ensured a remarkable supply of consumer goods to the people as well. America was the only that saw an expansion of consumer goods despite wartime rationing. BY 1944, as a result of wage increases and overtime pay, real weekly wages before taxes in manufacturing were 50 percent higher than in 1939. The war also created entire new technologies, industries, and associated human skills. The war brought full employment and a fairer distribution of income. Blacks and women entered the workforce for the first time. Wages increased; so did savings."

Nationally, the creation of the mass market and the economic growth that followed gave the era its basic character. The economy, and particularly the rise of industry, produced great prosperity for some whose spending habits gave the period its name—the Gilded Age. These developments also encouraged the movement of many people from the countryside to the city, producing a cultural and social transformation. But all of this came at a cost. Changes disrupted traditional economies and society, and many, particularly farmers and workers, failed to share in the bounty of the new world. In a state with an economy still largely agricultural, this meant that many in the state were mired in poverty. For others, especially those living in mountain isolation, older patterns of life prevailed. Conditions in Arkansas inevitably reflected national changes, but the state’s unique conditions colored how national trends affected its people. Transportation and Markets The rapid expansion of railroads following the Civil War provided the single most important force for change in the nation and in Arkansas during the Gilded Age."

At first it lent money only to financial, industrial, and agricultural institutions, but the scope of its operations was greatly widened by the New Deal administrations of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. It financed the construction and operation of war plants, made loans to foreign governments, provided protection against war and disaster damages, and engaged in numerous other activities.

The economic downturn that followed the Wall Street Crash also had a major psychological impact on America and that Roosevelt was actually doing something did a great deal to boost America’s self-esteem. In Roosevelt’s first Hundred Days many acts were introduced which were to form the basis of the New Deal. The New Deal was to cover as many issues as could be imagined – be they social, economic, financial etc. The wave of popularity that had swept Roosevelt into power meant that parts of the New Deal were passed without too much scrutiny. In later years many acts in the New Deal were deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of America. The New Deal introduced acts that became part of the law and numerous agencies that worked with the Federal government in ensuring that the acts were enacted. On March 15th 1933, Roosevelt asked Congress to pass the Economy Act. This cut the pay of everybody who worked for the government and the armed forces by 15%. Government departmental spending was also cut by 25%."

Answer by Michael Le Bauer Confidence votes 20Hoover felt the Depression was just part of the Free Enterprise system at work and the economy would eventually straighten itself out. He did not believe that government should take an active role in providing direct relief to those out of work, or to the local and state governments. That was the job of private charities. States could also regulate their own economy without federal government interference. One of the beneficial actions on the part of Hoover was to approve the Reconstruction Finance Corporation which provided relief to businesses, banks, and railroads. Money was lent to those business operations that were basically sound. FDR on the other hand believed in direct action by the federal government to try and get the economy back on its feet. He believed the federal government had three jobs to perform, in this order, direct Relief, immediate Recovery, and long term Reform. He ordered all banks closed until they could be examined by federal inspectors."

At Mons, the British Army attempted to hold the line of the Mons–Condé Canal against the advancing German 1st Army. Although the British fought well and inflicted disproportionate casualties on the numerically superior Germans, they were eventually forced to retreat due both to the greater strength of the Germans and the sudden retreat of the French Fifth Army, which exposed the British right flank. Though initially planned as a simple tactical withdrawal and executed in good order, the British retreat from Mons lasted for two weeks and took the BEF to the outskirts of Paris before it counter-attacked in concert with the French, at the Battle of the Marne.

"text": "\"Tracing World War 1 Family History Corporal Thomas Henry Parker, 2nd Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers, killed in action on the Somme battlefield near Lesboeufs on 6 November 1916. If you are researching your family history you may discover that one of your ancestors was a soldier, sailor or airman who served with the military forces in the Great War of 1914-1918. You may have a photograph, medals, diaries or letters belonging to your relative. Often there may just be a story passed down through the family about a family member having been in the First World War. Even with a small amount of information to start with it can be possible to at least find out a general overview of a person's 1914-1918 military service. Sometimes the luck of finding an unexpected piece in the puzzle can lead to being able to follow in their footsteps to and finding oneself within a few metres of where they were in action. Over the last few years a wealth of resource material has been made available for tracing individuals and the military units with which they served in World War One. Some records are now available online to download free, for a fee or by subscription. Military museums and libraries, national archive collections, newspaper and photograph libraries, census records, town archives, village memorials, memorials in churches are sources which possibly will help point you in the right direction. If you have a name for your ancestor and nothing more, it is still likely that you will be able to find some information, although, of course, the more details you have, the better."

The establishment increased to around 500 men, mainly Irishmen, by 1748 and was given the name, the (Madras) European Regiment. The regiment claimed to have taken battle to native forces and the French on more than 70 occasions before becoming a three battalion regiment in 1760. A fourth battalion was added in 1774. The (Madras) European Regiment was also involved in a major engagement at Goojerat in 1780. In 1791 the Regiment received its Royal Tiger badge for valiantly protecting the East India Company’s interests and in 1830 the Honourable East India Company formally added ‘Madras’ to the Regiment’s title to become the Madras European Regiment."

We investigate its significance 100 years on.0Last updated: 25 April 2015, 12:21 BSTPrint this story Prince Harry and the Prince of Wales are leading events being held in Turkey to mark 100 years since the disastrous Gallipoli Campaign. Here’s the Dardanelles campaign explained…What was the thinking behind the plan? Gallipoli memorial site at the coastal town of Eceabat in Gallipoli peninsula (Niall Carson/PA)The aim of the Gallipoli Campaign was to change the course of the First World War and knock Turkey out of the conflict by attacking Constantinople. The idea was that by opening a second front 1,000 miles to the east it would assist Russia, which was cut off from the Allies. But to get there, the Royal Navy would have to bust through the heavily-defended Dardanelles straits - the crucial link between the Mediterranean and the Russian Black Sea. Who was in charge? Sir Winston Churchill, in 1915, then First Lord of the Admiralty (PA)The idea to knock the Ottomans out of the war and open a sea route to Russia was instigated by future Prime Minister Winston Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty. But it was flawed and the campaign led to stalemate and eight months later, withdrawal. What happened?"

These Principalities and Duchies saw action fighting alongside the French Armies in Austria, Russia and Spain, some saw service in all three. This is possibly the first time these have all been made as a range (probably no one in their right mind would tackle them) as there are so many variants in uniforms, often in the same battalions. They represent a colourful change from the main armies in that there are often uniform styles you wouldn’t see normally, where you have Austrian, Prussian and French styles mixed, sometimes in one uniform. I’ve mostly stuck to the earlier uniforms before they were completely assimilated into the French style, although normally giving a couple of uniform variants to choose from. Sometimes the unique uniforms did carry on until 1813. These have been great fun to make. I must thank Peter Bunde for all his generous help and additional information it’s been invaluable. Also a big thanks to Stephen Hall and Andy Taylor ( no, not that Andy Taylor, a different Andy Taylor!)"

The Northumbrian Division was typical, consisting of three infantry brigades, the 'Northumberland', 'York and Durham' and 'Durham Light Infantry (DLI)' Brigades.

( July 2010) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Peruvian marines conducting exercises on the Amazon River U. S. and Spanish marines march together in a change of command ceremony at Naval Station Rota, Spain in July 2002. Marines, also known as a marine corps or naval infantry, are typically an infantry force that specializes in the support of naval and army operations at sea and on land, as well as the execution of their own operations. In the majority of countries, the marine force is an integral part of the navy, but it can also be under the army like the Troupes de marine (French Marines) and Givati Brigade (Israeli Marines), or form an independent service branch like the United States Marine Corps and the Royal Marines (although the United States Marine Corps is under the United States Department of the Navy, and the Royal Marines come under Her Majesty's Naval Service ). Historically, tasks undertaken by marines have included: helping maintain discipline and order aboard the ship (reflecting the pressed nature of the ships' company and the risk of mutiny ), the boarding of vessels during combat or capture of prize ships, and providing manpower for raiding ashore in support of the naval objectives. With the industrialization of warfare in the 20th century the scale of landing operations increased; this brought with it an increased likelihood of opposition and a need for co-ordination of various military elements. Marine forces evolved to specialize in the skills and capabilities required for amphibious warfare."

Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Attached to the various types of fusilier headdress, including the modern beret, is the hackle. This is a short cut feather plume, the colour or colours of which varied according to the regiment. Initially, the only regiment authorised to wear a plume or hackle were the 5th Foot or Northumberland Fusiliers. They had originally adopted the white plumes of the defeated French troops in St Lucia in 1778. In 1829 King George IV ordered the white plume to be worn by all fusiliers regiments, in order not to take away the Fifth (Northumberland) Regiment of Foot's battle honour their plume was distinguished by being made red over white. This came from the legend that the men of the Fifth ( Northumberland) Regiment of Foot having dipped their white plumes in the blood of the defeated French at St. Lucia.3 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

This was strongly resented by many Serbs and Croats and a nationalist group, The Black Hand, was formed. Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, and his wife, had decided to inspect Austro-Hungarian troops in Bosnia. The date chosen for the inspection was a national day in Bosnia. The Black Hand supplied a group of students with weapons for an assassination attempt to mark the occasion. A Serbian nationalist student, Gavrilo Princip, assassinated the Austrian Archduke Ferdinand and his wife, when their open car stopped at a corner on its way out of the town.28 July 1914 Austria declared war on Serbia The Austrian government blamed the Serbian government for the assassination of Franz Ferdinand and his wife and declared war on Serbia. Although Russia was allied with Serbia, Germany did not believe that she would mobilise and offered to support Austria if necessary. However, Russia did mobilise and, through their alliance with France, called on the French to mobilise.1 Aug 1914 Germany declared war on Russia Germany declared war on Russia.3 Aug 1914 Germany declared war on France Germany declared war on France. German troops poured into Belgium as directed under the Schleiffen Plan, drawn up in 1905.

( July 2010) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Peruvian marines conducting exercises on the Amazon River U. S. and Spanish marines march together in a change of command ceremony at Naval Station Rota, Spain in July 2002. Marines, also known as a marine corps or naval infantry, are typically an infantry force that specializes in the support of naval and army operations at sea and on land, as well as the execution of their own operations. In the majority of countries, the marine force is an integral part of the navy, but it can also be under the army like the Troupes de marine (French Marines) and Givati Brigade (Israeli Marines), or form an independent service branch like the United States Marine Corps and the Royal Marines (although the United States Marine Corps is under the United States Department of the Navy, and the Royal Marines come under Her Majesty's Naval Service ). Historically, tasks undertaken by marines have included: helping maintain discipline and order aboard the ship (reflecting the pressed nature of the ships' company and the risk of mutiny ), the boarding of vessels during combat or capture of prize ships, and providing manpower for raiding ashore in support of the naval objectives. With the industrialization of warfare in the 20th century the scale of landing operations increased; this brought with it an increased likelihood of opposition and a need for co-ordination of various military elements. Marine forces evolved to specialize in the skills and capabilities required for amphibious warfare."

Many of these actors played roles that were essentially cameo appearances. In addition, several cast members – including Fonda, Genn, More, Steiger and Todd – saw action as servicemen during the war; Todd was among the first British officers to land in Normandy in Operation Overlord, and he participated in the assault on Pegasus Bridge. The film employed several Axis and Allied military consultants who had been actual participants on D-Day. Many had their roles re-enacted in the film."

"text": "\"USE OF THE PERIOD AFTER THE \"\"S\"\" IN HARRY S. TRUMAN'S NAMEIn recent years the question of whether to use a period after the \"\"S\"\" in Harry S. Truman's name has become a subject of controversy, especially among editors. The evidence provided by Mr. Truman's own practice argues strongly for the use of the period. While, as many people do, Mr. Truman often ran the letters in his signature together in a single stroke, the archives of the Harry S. Truman Library have numerous examples of the signature written at various times throughout Mr. Truman's lifetime where his use of a period after the \"\"S\"\" is very obvious. Mr. Truman apparently initiated the \"\"period\"\" controversy in 1962 when, perhaps in jest, he told newspapermen that the period should be omitted. In explanation he said that the \"\"S\"\" did not stand for any name but was a compromise between the names of his grandfathers, Anderson Shipp Truman and Solomon Young. He was later heard to say that the use of the period dated after 1962 as well as before. Several widely recognized style manuals provide guidance in favor of using the period. According to The Chicago Manual of Style all initials given with a name should \"\"for convenience and consistency\"\" be followed by a period even if they are not abbreviations of names. The U. S. Government Printing Office Style Manual states that the period should be used after the \"\"S\"\" in Harry S. Truman's name. Most published works using the name Harry S. Truman employ the period."

Truman issued what came to be known as the Truman Doctrine in March 1947, he was outlining the basic foreign policy that the United States would use against the Soviet Union and Communism for the next 44 years. The doctrine, which had both economic and military elements, pledged support for countries attempting to hold back Soviet-style revolutionary Communism. It symbolized the United States' post- World War II global leadership role. Countering Communism In Greece Truman formulated the doctrine in response to the Greek Civil War, which itself was an extension of World War II. German troops had occupied Greece since April 1941, but as the war progressed, Communist insurgents known as the National Liberation Front (or EAM/ELAS) challenged Nazi control. In October 1944, with Germany losing the war on both the western and eastern Fronts, Nazi troops abandoned Greece. Soviet Gen. Sec. Josef Stalin supported the EAM/LEAM, but he ordered them to stand down and let British troops take over Greek occupation to avoid irritating his British and American wartime allies. World War II had destroyed the Greek economy and infrastructure and created a political vacuum that Communists sought to fill."

Roosevelt in 1944, Truman succeeded to the presidency on April 12, 1945, when Roosevelt died after months of declining health. Under Truman, the U. S. successfully concluded World War II; in the aftermath of the conflict, tensions with the Soviet Union increased, marking the start of the Cold War . Truman was born in Missouri, and spent most of his youth on his family's farm. During World War I, Truman served in combat in France as an artillery officer in his National Guard unit. After the war, he briefly owned a haberdashery and joined the Democratic Party political machine of Tom Pendergast in Kansas City, Missouri. He was first elected to public office as a county official, and in 1935 became U. S. senator. He gained national prominence as head of the wartime Truman Committee, which exposed waste, fraud, and corruption in wartime contracts. While Germany surrendered a few weeks after Truman assumed the Presidency, the war with Japan was expected to last another year or more. Truman ordered the use of atomic weapons against Japan, intending to force Japan's surrender and spare American lives in an invasion; the decision remains controversial."

Truman sided with airpower, and the resulting operation was the first key Cold War success for the U. S. Finding His Way Harry Truman was born on a Missouri farm and spent his youth trying both to please his father and chart a different path from him, a livestock trader and risk-taker whose ventures undercut his family's finances rather than strengthening them. Young Harry disliked farm life and considered becoming a pianist; when terrible eyesight ruined his chances of attending West Point, Truman drifted from job to job, dallying in business, banking, and being a mailroom clerk. His father's declining fortunes brought Harry back to the farm from 1906-1914, but he wasn't happy there -- local beauty \"\"Bess\"\" Wallace even refused Harry's offer of marriage. When his father died, Harry invested in zinc mines and oil wells, but always came out a loser. A Natural Leader Then the United States entered World War I, and Truman enlisted in the artillery. Made a captain, he proved surprisingly adept at command, not losing a single man in battles across France. Harry married Bess in 1919 and, thanks to an army buddy, Truman became involved with Tom Pendergast, the powerful political boss of the Kansas City Democratic Party. Through Pendergast's patronage Truman prospered, winning election as a U. S. Senator in 1934 and leading investigations of graft in the war effort. Selected as Franklin Roosevelt's vice-presidential candidate in 1944, he was woefully unprepared for FDR's death in April 1945."

"text": "\"Student Activity Harry Truman and the Truman Doctrine Introduction | Vocabulary | Conditions in Greece | Photograph analysis | Conditions in Turkey | Map analysis | Truman's speech to Congress | Oral History activity Introduction On Friday, February 21, 1947, the British Embassy informed the U. S. State Department officials that Great Britain could no longer provide financial aid to the governments of Greece and Turkey. American policymakers had been monitoring Greece's crumbling economic and political conditions, especially the rise of the Communist-led insurgency known as the National Liberation Front, or the EAM/ELAS. The United States had also been following events in Turkey, where a weak government faced Soviet pressure to share control of the strategic Dardanelle Straits. When Britain announced that it would withdraw aid to Greece and Turkey, the responsibility was passed on to the United States. In a meeting between Congressmen and state department officials, Undersecretary of State Dean Acheson articulated what would later become known as the domino theory. He stated that more was at stake than Greece and Turkey, for if those two key states should fall, Communism would likely spread south to Iran and as far east as India. Acheson concluded that not since the days of Rome and Carthage had such a polarization of power existed. The stunned legislators agreed to endorse the program on the condition that President Truman stress the severity of the crisis in an address to Congress and in a radio broadcast to the American people. Addressing a joint session of Congress on March 12, 1947, President Harry S. Truman asked for $400 million in military and economic assistance for Greece and Turkey and established a doctrine, aptly characterized the Truman Doctrine, that would guide U. S. diplomacy for the next forty years. President Truman declared, \"\"It must be the policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures.\"\""

His poor eyesight prevented Truman from participating in sports but led him to two of his greatest passions, reading and music.

An excellent student, Truman's parents were unable to afford college for Harry and his eyesight prevented him from attending West Point. Following his high school graduation in 1901, Truman worked at a variety of jobs including farming, oil drilling and banking. In 1917, with World War I in full force, Truman joined the Army.

Mrs. Daniel, who had long lived on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, was 83. Her death was announced by her son Clifton T. Daniel. Mrs. Daniel died after a brief illness, according to a statement from the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum in Independence, Mo. She had been living in an assisted living facility for the past several weeks and was on a respirator, the library said. Most Americans first knew Margaret Truman as the young woman with blue-green eyes, ash-blond hair, flawless complexion and dimpled cheeks who was the only child of Harry S.

A World War I veteran, he assumed the presidency during the waning months of World War II and the beginning of the Cold War. He is known for implementing the Marshall Plan to rebuild the economy of Western Europe, for the establishment of the Truman Doctrine and NATO against Soviet and Chinese Communism, and for intervening in the Korean War. In domestic affairs, he was a moderate Democrat whose liberal proposals were a continuation of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal, but the conservative-dominated Congress blocked most of them. He used the veto power 180 times, more than any president since and saw 12 overridden by Congress; only Grover Cleveland and Franklin D. Roosevelt used the veto so often and only Gerald Ford and Andrew Johnson saw so many veto overrides. [ 2] He is the only world leader to have used nuclear weapons in war. He desegregated the U. S. Armed Forces, supported a newly independent Israel and was a founder of the United Nations. Truman was born in Lamar, Missouri and spent most of his youth on his family's 600-acre farm near Independence. In the last months of World War I, he served in combat in France as an artillery officer with his National Guard unit."

"text": "\"Harry S. Truman Biography Harry S. Truman, the 33rd president of the United States, was born on May 8, 1884 in Lamar, Missouri. In 1890, the year the Little White House was built, the Truman's moved to Independence, Missouri. His poor eyesight prevented Truman from participating in sports but led him to two of his greatest passions, reading and music. An avid reader, he was proud of the fact that he had read every book in the Independence Public Library. Truman was also a fine musician, playing the piano. An excellent student, Truman's parents were unable to afford college for Harry and his eyesight prevented him from attending West Point. Following his high school graduation in 1901, Truman worked at a variety of jobs including farming, oil drilling and banking. In 1917, with World War I in full force, Truman joined the Army. He served in France and left the army as a captain in May of 1919. One month later, he married Elizabeth Wallace."

"text": "\"Scholasticism Advanced Information The term scholasticism (from the Latin schola, \"\"school\"\") refers properly both to the doctrine and method of teaching in the medieval European schools and to their successive revivals to the present day. As a method, scholasticism involves (1) the close, detailed reading (lectio) of a particular book recognized as a great or authoritative work of human or divine origin--for example, Aristotle in logic, Euclid in geometry, Cicero in rhetoric, Avicenna and Galen in medicine, the Bible in theology-- and (2) the open discussion (disputatio) in strict logical form of a relevant question (quaestio) arising from the text. As a doctrine, scholasticism refers to the kind of philosophy, theology, medicine, and law (canon and civil) taught by the faculties responsible for these disciplines. These four faculties constituted the medieval universities that began to be organized in the 12th century, beginning in Bologna, Paris, and Oxford. The most important faculties, however, were arts (philosophy) and theology, and the term scholasticism is usually understood in the context of those disciplines. The basic philosophy of the faculty of arts was Aristotelian because the greatest and most authoritative books in philosophy were believed to be Aristotle's. Aristotle, however, was interpreted differently by different professors depending on the commentaries used, notably those of \"\"the Commentator,\"\" Averroes; the Christian Neoplatonist, Saint Augustine; or the pagan Neoplatonist, Avicenna. BELIEVEReligious Information Source web-site BELIEVE Religious Information Source - By Alphabet Our List of 2,300 Religious Subjects E-mail Similarly in theology, the Bible was variously interpreted depending on the kind of philosophy used to understand the Christian faith systematically. Among the numerous ways of systematizing the faith, certain schools of theology stand out as particularly notable and viable throughout the Middle Ages and to the present day. The most important of these scholastic theologies were Thomism, developed from the teaching of Saint Thomas Aquinas; Augustinism, developed from Saint Augustine; Scotism, from John Duns Scotus; Nominalism, from William of Occam; and Suarazianism, formulated by Francisco Suarez, a 16th-century Jesuit who tried to synthesize various schools."

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

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

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

"text": "\"A Brief History of Psychology Ifrom Descartes to Wundt The Two Roots of Scientific Psychology Philosophy -- the mother of all sciences Physiology -- the study of the functioning of the body Although we could begin our history as far back in time as the ancient Greek philosophers (ca 300 BC), we will actually start with one man, living in France in the first half of the 17th century, who embodied both roots of scientific psychology: Rene Descartes. Rene Descartes The Body as a Machine The Reflex Arc Stimulus leads to response via a chain of physical causes and effects that runs from sensory receptors through the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and back out again to the muscles. In Descartes' proposal, the stimulus pulled on tiny wires running up the nerves to the brain. These tugs popped open little valves in the brain, allowing animal spirits (cerebral-spinal fluid) to enter the hollow nerve-tubes leading to the appropriate muscles. The fluid inflated the muscles, causing them to shorten and moving the limb, producing the response. This particular conception proved to be incorrect, but the basic conception of stimulus leading to response via a physical mechanism was a great advance over magical thinking. Interactive Dualism Descartes assumed that all of animal behavior could be explained in terms of chains of stimulus-response reflexes. The animals were assumed to have no mind, consciousness, or ability to reason. In this conception, the animal's behavior is fully determined by its machinery, leaving no room for the exercise of free will. Descartes assumed that in humans, some behavior was similarly produced by reflex mechanisms."

The doctrine states that Jesus died as a propitiation for the benefit of mankind without exception. It is a doctrine distinct from other elements of the Calvinist acronym TULIP and is contrary to the Calvinist doctrine of limited atonement. A doctrinal issue that divides Christians is the question of the extent of the atonement. Did Christ bear the sins of the elect alone on the cross, or did his death expiate the sins of all human beings?

"text": "\"The Four Pillars of Hogwarts: The Founders Submitted by: Prongs Patronus Approximately one thousand years ago, four extraordinary wizards created a safe haven for the young wizards of their day: Hogwarts School of Magic and Wizardry. For years we have read, watched, and played at Hogwarts; for many it has become a place where dreams and imagination are given sustenance. We know a fair amount about Hogwarts the school; we know considerably less about the four gifted and creative wizards who became the Founders: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. ( Chamber of Secrets, 150)The story is familiar to all who have listened to the Sorting Hat and survived the Magical History classes of Professor Binns: You all know, of course, that Hogwarts was founded over a thousand years ago”the precise date is uncertain”by the four greatest witches and wizards of the age. They built this castle together, far from prying Muggle eyes, for it was an age when magic was feared by common people, and witches and wizards suffered much persecution. ( Chamber of Secrets, 150)Professor Binns also tells us the bare bones of the rest of the story: For a few years, the founders worked in harmony together, seeking out youngsters who showed signs of magic and bringing them to the castle to be educated. But then disagreements sprang up between them. A rift began to grow between Slytherin and the others. Slytherin wished to be more selective about the students admitted to Hogwarts. He believed that magical learning should be kept within all-magic families."

"text": "René Descartes (1596—1650)René Descartes is often credited with being the “Father of Modern Philosophy.” This title is justified due both to his break with the traditional Scholastic-Aristotelian philosophy prevalent at his time and to his development and promotion of the new, mechanistic sciences. His fundamental break with Scholastic philosophy was twofold. First, Descartes thought that the Scholastics’ method was prone to doubt given their reliance on sensation as the source for all knowledge. Second, he wanted to replace their final causal model of scientific explanation with the more modern, mechanistic model. Descartes attempted to address the former issue via his method of doubt. His basic strategy was to consider false any belief that falls prey to even the slightest doubt. This “hyperbolic doubt” then serves to clear the way for what Descartes considers to be an unprejudiced search for the truth. This clearing of his previously held beliefs then puts him at an epistemological ground-zero. From here Descartes sets out to find something that lies beyond all doubt."

"text": "\"Aristotle to Copernicus Introduction: Medieval and early modern European scholars viewed questions about the world and science as primarily a religious and/or theological issue. Religious teaching permeated all thought and activity. An example is the political theory of Divine Right. Religious teachings dominated all aspects of life, from marriage and divorce even to eating habits. However, as Europeans, particularly the upper classes, became more economically secure and better educated, their view of the world became decidedly more secular if not completely scientific. This change was primarily the result of the Scientific Revolution, a time when modern science based on the union of experimental observation and sophisticated mathematics emerged. Western civilization is the only civilization to develop modern science. One historian has gone so far as to state that the Scientific Revolution was \"\"the real origin of the modern world and the modern mentality.\"\" Unquestionably, its scientific achievements more than any other element have set Western society apart. The Medieval Legacy: Up through the early sixteenth century, the ideas of Aristotle still dominated Western scientific thinking."

Danish physicist, Niels Bohr won the 1922 Nobel Prize in Physics in recognition of his work on the structure of atoms and quantum mechanics. He was part of the group of scientists that invented the atomic bomb as part of the Manhattan Project. He worked on the Manhattan Project under the assumed name of Nicholas Baker for security reasons. Model of Atomic Structure Niels Bohr published his model of atomic structure in 1913. His theory was the first to present:that electrons traveled in orbits around the atom's nucleusthat the chemical properties of the element was largely determined by the number of electrons in the outer orbitsthat an electron could drop from a higher-energy orbit to a lower one, emitting a photon (light quantum) of discrete energy Niels Bohr model of atomic structure became the basis for all future quantum theories. Werner Heisenberg and Niels Bohr In 1941, German scientist Werner Heisenberg made a secret and dangerous trip to Denmark to visit his former mentor, physicist Niels Bohr. The two friends had once worked together to split the atom until World War II divided them. Werner Heisenberg worked on a German project to develop atomic weapons, while Niels Bohr worked on the Manhattan Project to create the first atomic bomb.

But exactly who should take credit for its invention is deeply controversial. This case history explains how scientific rivalry and engineering cunning drove the development of a life-saving technology that is now used to perform over 1m scans a week Dec 4th 2003Tweet“YOU know, what these people do is really very clever. They put little spies into the molecules and send radio signals to them, and they have to radio back what they are seeing.” That is how the physicist Niels Bohr is said to have described the principles behind magnetic-resonance imaging ( MRI ). Since its emergence in the 1970s, MRI has become a vital tool for diagnosing brain tumours and other diseases of the central nervous system, and for spotting soft-tissue injuries in muscles and ligaments. Functional MRI, a newer and even cleverer technology, provides real-time information on brain activity, which is particularly useful in guiding neurosurgeons. Unlike X -rays, magnetic resonance is completely harmless and provides far more detailed images of soft tissues. About 22,000 MRI machines around the world were used in 60m examinations last year. In October, Paul Lauterbur, the director of the Biomedical Imaging Centre at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, and Sir Peter Mansfield, a physicist at the University of Nottingham in Britain, received the Nobel prize in medicine for making discoveries that “led to the development of modern magnetic-resonance imaging”."

As Albert Einstein wrote: [1]It seems as though we must use sometimes the one theory and sometimes the other, while at times we may use either. We are faced with a new kind of difficulty. We have two contradictory pictures of reality; separately neither of them fully explains the phenomena of light, but together they do. Through the work of Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Louis de Broglie, Arthur Compton, Niels Bohr and many others, current scientific theory holds that all particles also have a wave nature (and vice versa).

The studies that led him to develop this revolutionary device began in 1792, after Volta read the work of Luigi Galvani on the existence of an intrinsic electricity in living organisms. During these studies, Volta obtained a series of results of great physiological relevance, which led him to anticipate some important ideas that marked the inception of modern neuroscience.

Many countries still regularly decapitated criminals publicly less than a century ago. Above, we can see the guillotine’s blade about to claim the head of Eugen Weidmann. Weidmann was a robber and a murderer before he eventually got caught and sentenced to death. On June 17, 1939, entire crowds turned up to see the gory spectacle. Why would they turn up to witness such a macabre display? Back then, authorities used public executions to make examples of the condemned. Parents would drag their children along to see, saying something along the lines of, “See what happens to people who disobey!” People also came for the entertainment value."

Despite the slow pace, it is crucial to understand that the process was a methodical one as each scientist built upon earlier ideas. This gradual, logical progression, where atomic structure evolved from being a simple, philosophical idea, through to the ultra-sophisticated world of the Higgs boson particle discovered in the early part of the 21 st century, represents a wonderful example of the evolution of a scientific idea, and the application of the scientific process. In fact, one could argue that the history, struggle, and achievement that is threaded through the development of understanding matter at the atomic level is the quintessential story of the scientificmethod.

Hilbert's point that gravitational energy was not localisable may also have concerned some, but Gullstrand's report as referee (and Committee member) picked out the ambiguity issue. We think special relativity on its own deserved the Nobel prize, but most of the nominations of Einstein by leading physicists cited both special and general relativity, so the uncertainties over GR confused the case.

Yes, Lawrence was the inventor of the cyclotron, the granddaddy of today's most powerful accelerators. Yes, he was the \"\"father of big science,\"\" the first to advance the idea of doing research with multidisciplinary teams of scientists and engineers. But these facts alone do not explain why Nobel-laureate scientists such as Edwin Mc Millan, Luis Alvarez, Melvin Calvin and Glenn Seaborg continued to speak of themselves as members of Ernest Lawrence's team long after they'd established their own considerable reputations.

In his 1904 study of genius, Havelock Ellis noted that most geniuses are fathered by men older than 30; had mothers younger than 25 and were usually sickly as children. Other scholars reported that many were celibate (Descartes), others were fatherless (Dickens) or motherless (Darwin). In the end, the piles of data illuminated nothing.

"text": "\"Arts & Humanities History Who discovered atomic bomb?1 following 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: During World War II, the United States, with the assistance (collaboration) of physicists, mathematicians, and engineers from the U. S., Britain, Canada and Germany (former Nazi physicists), completed the Manhattan Project to produce the first atomic bomb. ( The project started as the \"\"Manhattan District Engineers\"\" and only became \"\"The Manhattan Project\"\" some time later). There was some early speculation about the possibility of what could be done if a nuclear chain reaction was unleashed in a way that would allow it to build without control. For a roll call, consider that Robert Oppenheimer was the head of \"\"science\"\" for the Manhattan Project, and (in alphabetical order) Felix Block, David Bohm, Niels Bohr, Enrico Fermi, James Franck, Otto Frisch, Klaus Fuchs, Rudolf Peierls, Emilio Segre, Leo Szilard, Edward Teller and Eugene Wigner all played crucial roles in getting the weapon designed and built. The physicist Albert Einstein did not participate directly in the invention of the atomic bomb-but was instrumental in facilitating its development. His Special Theory of Relativity emphasized 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. The first demonstration of \"\"the gadget\"\" (the code name for the first atomic bomb) was at Trinity site in Alamogordo, New Mexico, and it proved that the weapon would detonate and that the chain would build as predicted. The second and third demonstrations were conducted in Japan, which brought a quick end to the Second World War."

The main developments that led to fission and the atomic bomb are as follows: 1. Albert Einstein, in the year 1905, proposed the equivalence of mass and energy with the now famous expression [math]E = mc^2 [/math]. 2. Ernest Rutherford proposed in 1911 the atom as consisting of a core called nucleus, consisting of heavy protons surrounded by electrons. For the atomic bomb, it is only necessary to consider the nucleus. Around the same time, Neils Bohr and others developed quantum mechanics that deepened our understanding of the atom. 3.

The Espionage Act of 1917 was passed by the United States Congress following America’s entry into the First World War. The Espionage Act prescribed fines of $10,000 and 20-year prison sentences for any individual who interfered with the recruiting of soldiers or the disclosure of sensitive information that dealt with the war effort. Additional penalties were attached if any individual refused to perform military duties. The Espionage Act of 1917 is a United States federal law that has been amended several times since it was originally passed on June 15th of 1917. In addition to the aforementioned regulations, the Espionage Act of 1917 originally barred any individual from interfering with military efforts or supporting enemies of the United States during times of war. The Espionage Act of 1917 was challenged in the Supreme Court Case Schenck v. United States, but was upheld because it did not violate the freedom of speech of convicted persons. Since this original challenge, the constitutionality of the law, the exact interpretation of the latent speech and its relationship to the first amendment have been contested in courts ever since. Background of the Espionage Act of 1917: On April 2nd of 1917, President Woodrow Wilson addressed Congress seeking a formal declaration of war against Germany and its allies. Later that evening, Senator Charles Culberson of Texas and Representative Edwin Webb of North Carolina introduced bills in their respective houses to thwart acts of treason and espionage."

"text": "\"Report American Founders Interposition and the Heresy of Nullification: James Madison and the Exercise of Sovereign Constitutional Powers February 21, 2012 41 min read Download Report Christian G. Fritz, Ph. D. Senior Fellow and Director of Government Finance Programs Copied Select a Section 1 /0Abstract: The seemingly unstoppable growth of the federal government has led to a revival, in some circles, of the discredited notion of nullification as a legitimate constitutional mechanism for states to reassert their sovereign powers. Proponents of this doctrine invoke the authority of James Madison to defend the claim that the Constitution empowers states to nullify laws passed by Congress. In this essay, Christian Fritz explains why Madison emphatically rejected the attempt by a single state to nullify national laws. Instead, Madison embraced something very different. The practice of interposition—public opinion, protests, petitions, and legitimate actions of state legislatures—focused attention on whether the government was acting in conformity with the Constitution. Recovering Madison’s understanding of interposition offers a useful corrective to the mischaracterization of his views and makes clear that he rejected any constitutional basis for nullification. Political arguments frequently use history for justification. Invariably, such efforts are less about taking the past on its own terms than the desire to make symbolic historical references that resonate with modern audiences in order to achieve particular political objectives, whether liberal or conservative. American politics today provides a good example of this practice, particularly in the invocation of the doctrine of nullification and secession as legitimate constitutional options supposedly sanctioned in the thought of such Founders as James Madison."

MARY DUDZIAK: World War I is an example of a war overseas that deeply affected individual rights at home. In his speech to Congress requesting a declaration of war against Germany, President Woodrow Wilson emphasized that \"\"if there should be disloyalty, it will be dealt with with a firm hand of repression.\"\" There was great suspicion of American immigrants, including Germans, and tension over immigrants heightened after war was declared. There was also concern about foreign espionage and sabotage. In this atmosphere, Congress passed the Espionage Act of 1917 and then the Sedition Act of 1918. President Wilson also created the Committee on Public Information (also known as the Creel Committee, after its chair, journalist George Creel ). The Committee was charged with encouraging American war support, and it became, in essence, a purveyor of domestic propaganda. The committee also censored media reporting about the war."

Sedition A revolt or an incitement to revolt against established authority, usually in the form of Treason or Defamation against government. Sedition is the crime of revolting or inciting revolt against government. However, because of thebroad protection of free speech under the First Amendment, prosecutions for sedition are rare. Nevertheless, sedition remains a crime in the United States under 18 U. S. C. A. § 2384 (2000), a federal statute that punishes seditious conspiracy, and 18 U. S. C. A. § 2385 (2000), which outlawsadvocating the overthrow of the federal government by force. Generally, a person may be punishedfor sedition only when he or she makes statements that create a Clear and Present Danger to rights that the government may lawfully protect ( schenck v. united states, 249 U. S. 47, 39 S. Ct.247, 63 L. Ed. 470 [1919]). The crime of seditious conspiracy is committed when two or more persons in any state or U. S.territory conspire to levy war against the U. S. government. A person commits the crime of advocating the violent overthrow of the federal government when she willfully advocates or teachesthe overthrow of the government by force, publishes material that advocates the overthrow of thegovernment by force, or organizes persons to overthrow the government by force. A person foundguilty of seditious conspiracy or advocating the overthrow of the government may be fined andsentenced to up to 20 years in prison."

The Newseum 's five freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment to the U. S. Constitution In the United States, freedom of speech and expression is strongly protected from government restrictions by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, many state constitutions, and state and federal laws. The Supreme Court of the United States has recognized several categories of speech that are given lesser or no protection by the First Amendment and has recognized that governments may enact reasonable time, place, or manner restrictions on speech. The First Amendment's constitutional right of free speech, which is applicable to state and local governments under the incorporation doctrine, [1] only prevents government restrictions on speech, not restrictions imposed by private individuals or businesses unless they are acting on behalf of the government. [ 2] However, laws may restrict the ability of private businesses and individuals from restricting the speech of others, such as employment laws that restrict employers' ability to prevent employees from disclosing their salary with coworkers or attempting to organize a labor union. The First Amendment's freedom of speech right not only proscribes most government restrictions on the content of speech and ability to speak, but also protects the right to receive information, [3] prohibits most government restrictions or burdens that discriminate between speakers, [4] restricts the tort liability of individuals for certain speech, [5] and prevents the government from requiring individuals and corporations to speak or finance certain types of speech with which they don't agree. [ 6] [7] [8]Criticism of the government, political advocacy, and advocacy of unpopular ideas that people may find distasteful or against public policy are almost always permitted. [ citation needed] Categories of speech that are given lesser or no protection by the First Amendment include obscenity (as determined by the Miller test ), fraud, child pornography, speech integral to illegal conduct, [9] speech that incites imminent lawless action, and regulation of commercial speech such as advertising. [ 10] [11] Within these limited areas, other limitations on free speech balance rights to free speech and other rights, such as rights for authors over their works ( copyright ), protection from imminent or potential violence against particular persons, restrictions on the use of untruths to harm others ( slander ), and communications while a person is in prison."

As a Federalist, he supported a strong central government that would maintain order and preserve the union of the states. Federalists also wanted to build the army and foster business and economy. He was politically qualified for president, but personally unqualified, as he suffered from extreme self-doubt and drastic mood swings. The Man, The Myth, The Mess To restrict Democratic-Republicans, Adams introduced a series of acts: The first was the Naturalization Act, which increased the number of years required in the country before an immigrant would become a citizen. The required amount of time changed dramatically from 5 years to 14 years. Because most immigrants favored Democratic-Republicanism, Adams thought his position in office would be protected by this act. Naturalization Act Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That any Alien being a free white person, who shall have resided within the limits and under the jurisdiction of the United States for the term of two years, may be admitted to become a citizen thereof on application to any common law Court of record in any one of the States wherein he shall have resided for the term of one year at least, and making proof to the satisfaction of such Court that he is a person of good character, and taking the oath or affirmation prescribed by law to support the Constitution of the United States, which Oath or Affirmation such Court shall administer, and the Clerk of such Court shall record such Application, and the proceedings thereon; and thereupon such person shall be considered as a Citizen of the United States.

The Kentucky Resolutions of 1798 argued that each individual state has the power to declare that federal laws are unconstitutional and void. The Kentucky Resolution of 1799 added that when the states determine that a law is unconstitutional, nullification by the states is the proper remedy.

Beneath the surface, however, the real intent of these laws was to destroy Jeffersonian Republicanism. The laws, known collectively as the \"\"Alien and Sedition Acts,\"\" included: The Naturalization Act, which extended the residency period from 5 to 14 years for those aliens seeking citizenship; this law was aimed at Irish and French immigrants who were often active in Republican politics The Alien Act, which allowed the expulsion of aliens deemed dangerous during peacetime The Alien Enemies Act, which allowed the expulsion or imprisonment of aliens deemed dangerous during wartime. This was never enforced, but it did prompt numerous Frenchmen to return home The Sedition Act, which provided for fines or imprisonment for individuals who criticized the government, Congress, or president in speech or print . Edward Livingston, in the early Congressional debate over the bills, brought out arguments similar to those that would bring down Joseph Mc Carthy a century and a half later: No evidence, then, being produced, we have a right to say that none exists, and yet we are about to sanction a most important act; and on what ground? Our individual suspicions, our private fears, our overheated imaginations.

"text": "\"Sunday, 22 July 2012Seventy-five Years After FDR's Court-packing Scheme Failed Written by Bruce Walker Tweetfont size Print Email Seventy-five years ago, on July 22, 1937, President Franklin D. Roosevelt's attempt to pack the Supreme Court was derailed. On that date, the U. S. Senate voted to send back to committee a bill that would have enabled FDR to appoint six additional justices to the Supreme Court, thereby increasing the total number of Supreme Court justices from nine (the number at the time) to fifteen. By packing the court with additional pro-New Deal justices, FDR intended to insure that his New Deal programs would not be struck down as unconstitutional — as had already happened to parts of his New Deal such as the National Recovery Act. But although in this instance the Congress did not go along with FDR's embarrassingly transparent effort to make the court a rubber stamp for whatever extra-constitutional programs the President could get Congress to approve, the Congress, both before and after 1937, has done little to rein the federal judiciary when it has issued decisions that do violence to the Constitution. In our constitutional system, the role of the federal judiciary is a very limited one. The Supreme Court is the only federal court actually actually established by the Constitution; its \"\"original Jurisdiction\"\" is limited to \"\"cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those those in which a State shall be a Party\"\"; and its \"\"appellate Jurisdiction\"\" is subject to whatever exceptions or regulations Congress shall make. All lower federal courts have been created by Congress, and those courts exercise powers granted by Congress and no more. In fact, if Congress were to choose to do so, Congress could constitutionally pass legislation to abolish all federal courts with the exception of the Supreme Court. Until 1875, lower federal courts lacked the jurisdiction to hear cases involving federal questions — constitutional or federal judicial interpretation. Instead, these courts handled only cases involving diversity of citizenship among parties."

According to tribal history handed down from generation to generation, our people lived here since the beginning of time. Prior to acquiring the horse, the Utes lived off the land establishing a unique relationship with the ecosystem. They would travel and camp in familiar sites and use well established routes such as the Ute Trail that can still be seen in the forests of the Grand Mesa, and the forerunner of the scenic highway traversing through South Park, and Cascade, Colorado. Ute Teepee | Library of Congress The language of the Utes is Shoshonean, a dialect of that Uto-Aztecan language. It is believed that the people who speak Shoshonean separated from other Ute-Aztecan speaking groups, such as the Paiute, Goshute, Shoshone Bannock, Comanche, Chemehuevi and some tribes in California. The Utes were a large tribe occupying the great basin area, encompassing the Numic speaking territories of Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Eastern California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado and Northern Arizona and New Mexico. Tribes living in this area, ancestors of the Utes were the Uto-Aztecs, who spoke one common language; they possessed a set of central values, and had a highly developed society.

"text": "Her Childhood This is what is actually known about Sacagawea’s early childhood and the customs of her people. Sacagawea was a Lemhi Shoshone Indian born around 1788 between Kenney Creek and Agency Creek along the banks of the Lemhi River near Tendoy, Idaho. She, along with other female children of her band, experienced mistreatment in her Shoshone village because of their gender. They experienced beatings, given only to girls, and did hard work not required of the male children. Boys in the tribe were never spanked because the Shoshone knew that severe punishment can break the spirit of their young braves. Shoshone males enjoyed a privileged lifestyle, while the females of the tribe were given a life of drudgery, as indicated by Meriwether Lewis in his log for August 19, 1805:“They seldom correct their children particularly the boys who soon become masters of their own acts.” Lewis continued, “They give as a reason that it cows and breaks the spirit of the boy to whip him, and that he never recovers his independence of mind after he is grown. They treat their women but with little rispect (respect), and compel them to preform every species of drudgery. ”They watched as Shoshone women were prostituted by their own husbands, made to do all the work of the camp, while the males engaged solely in the excitement of hunting and war. Although most of these pratices were widely held by other Shoshone Bands, Sacagawea’s people were in an unusually distressed state in the early 1800’s."

Brutal Crimes Grip an Indian Reservation By TIMOTHY WILLIAMS FEB. 2, 2012A rambling stretch of scrub in central Wyoming the size of Rhode Island and Delaware combined, Wind River has a crime rate five to seven times the national average and a long history of ghastly homicides. Matthew Staver for The New York Times WIND RIVER INDIAN RESERVATION, Wyo. — At a boys’ basketball game here last month, Wyoming Indian High School, a perennial state power, was trading baskets with a local rival. The players, long-limbed and athletic, are among the area’s undisputed stars, and their games one of its few diversions. On this night, more than 2,500 cheering, stomping people came to watch. Outside the gym, in a glass trophy case, are photographs of players from recent championship teams. Someone peered in and, moving his finger along the line of smiling faces, delivered a cruel counterpoint: killed in a car accident at 19 while intoxicated; murdered in his 20s; struck in the head with an ax not long after graduation. The Obama administration, which has made reducing crime a priority in its attempt to improve the quality of life at dozens of Indian reservations plagued by violence, recently ended a two-year crime-fighting initiative at Wind River and three other reservations deemed to be among the country’s most dangerous. Nicknamed “the surge,” it was modeled after the military’s Iraq war strategy, circa 2007, which helped change the course of the conflict."

Located along the Lewis and Clark River at the north end of the Clatsop Plains approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) southwest of Astoria, the fort was the last encampment of the Corps of Discovery, before embarking on their return trip east to St. Louis. The Lewis and Clark Expedition wintered at Fort Clatsop before returning east to St. Louis in the spring of 1806.

A new replica, more rustic and rough-hewn, was built by about 700 volunteers in 2006; it opened with a dedication ceremony that took place on December 9.

Sometimes called the \"\" Niagara of the West,\"\" Shoshone Falls is 212 feet (65 m) high—45 feet (14 m) higher than Niagara Falls—and flows over a rim nearly 1,000 feet (300 m) wide. Formed by catastrophic outburst flooding during the Pleistocene ice age about 14,000 years ago, Shoshone Falls marks the historical upper limit of fish migration (including salmon) in the Snake River, and was an important fishing and trading place for Native Americans. The falls were documented by Europeans as early as the 1840s; despite the isolated location, it became a tourist attraction starting in the 1860s. At the beginning of the 20th century, part of the Snake River was diverted for irrigation of the Magic Valley. Now, the flows over the falls can be viewed seasonally based on snowfall, irrigation needs and hydroelectric demands. Irrigation and hydroelectric power stations built on the falls were the primary contributors [ citation needed] to early economic development in southern Idaho. The City of Twin Falls owns and operates a park overlooking the waterfall. Shoshone Falls is best viewed in the spring, as diversion of the Snake River often can significantly diminishes water levels in the late summer and fall. The flow over the falls ranges from over 20,000 cubic feet per second (570 m 3 /s) during late spring of wet years, to a minimum \"\"scenic flow\"\" (dam release) of 300 cubic feet per second (8.5 m 3 /s) in dry years."

Estimates of the dead are nearly double those of Wounded Knee, S. D., and Sand Creek, Colo. -It was a clash of two diverse cultures trying to share the same land, and the NWB Shoshone lost. The NWB of Shoshone, comprising several bands, had close contact with the white settlers moving in the ever-growing tide of westward expansion. They found themselves in the unenviable position of being precisely where immigrants would pass on their way to the Pacific; that, combined with the critical perception people had of Native Americans at the time, resulted in a recipe for disaster. The NWB Shoshone were a starving people that winter, and the occasional friendly offerings of food by nearby residents had dwindled as the Shoshone were blamed for skirmishes and the atrocities to other groups nearby."

Flag Why are American Indians red skinned? Answer by Clausenfan Confidence votes 17.8KThe native peoples of the Americas are racially descended from ancient Asiatic people of eastern Asia. They do not have \"\"red skin\"\", but rather yellowish skin and usually very black, straight hair and little or no body hair like most Asiatic peoples. It is always wrong to generalise and all native people are different, but when a native American baby is born in Peru, Canada, Wyoming, Florida or Argentina it generally has more yellowish skin than that of white people; exposure to the sun rapidly tans this skin a rich tan or copper colour. Lewis and Clark, when they reached the Shoshone country, were taken to be natives because of their deeply-tanned hands and faces and had to pull up the sleeves of their jackets to reveal the pale, untanned skin of their arms to prove they were really white people. The copper/tan colour has in the past been termed \"\"red\"\", which is clearly a false idea - but one which is today widespread among non-native people. This is typical of the many false terms (\"\"squaw\"\", \"\"chief\"\", \"\"brave\"\", \"\"wigwam\"\" and many more) that are used without any understanding of native culture by extremely ignorant white people.

However, with some there will be an all day, nearly constant high energy that only fades away when the dog is asleep. This sort of behavior usually stems from 3 main states of mind:1) Frustration - Dog will seem to tolerate what they perceive to be negative elements, however these are piling up in a dog's mind. At a certain point, a dog will 'snap' and let out his frustration by acting very hyper and out of control. Some Chi can reach this stage within minutes and with others, it may take a more gradual buildup of irritations until the dog finally lets loose.2) Boredom - A bored dog can become exceedingly hyper because he is acting out. Without working his senses (sight, hearing, and smell), having interacting with others and/or having interesting solo play, a Chihuahua may begin to run, jump, bark and act hyper. It is akin to a human sitting in a room all day without anything to do and finally stands up and shouts \"\"I can't take it anymore! \"\""

"text": "\"Become a Member Maltipoo Q&A Blogthe Book Maltipoo Size Overview Understanding Maltipoo size is important for both owners and potential owners. The weight, height and body structure of your dog affects many elements, the most important being health issues common with small sized dogs and giving proper care. The Size of a Maltipoo Dog First let's talk about the adult size of this breed. Since there are no official standards with large canine clubs such as the AKC, the size of the Maltipoo will vary quite a bit. Adults will range from 5 pounds to 12 pounds (2.27 to 5.44 kg). Their height (from floor to shoulder blades) will typically range from 8 to 14 inches (20.32 to 35.56 cm). Without conformation standards, breeders have quite a bit of wiggle room to produce litters of many sizes. For this reason, some will dub puppies to be \"\" teacups \"\" or \"\"miniatures\"\"....however, again, without any guidelines of what constitutes the standard size of a Maltipoo, a person can claim that one of any weight is a \"\"teacup\"\" even if that pup grows up to be in the 5 to 12 lb. range. With this being said, with this weight range, there is no question that if this breed were to be recognized as a purebred, it would fall into the category of a toy breed dog."

Chihuahuas are often referred to as being either \"\"deer head\"\" or \"\"apple head,\"\" depending on their appearance and physical characteristics.

Many common foods that are perfectly safe for us to consume can cause severe illness in a Chihuahua. We've all heard that chocolate is toxic to dogs, but you might be surprised to learn what other foods are on the list. Alcohol Alcohol (ethanol) is highly toxic to dogs. It depresses the central nervous system and respiratory system while damaging the heart, kidneys and liver. Symptoms of alcohol poisoning include vomiting, lethargy, weakness, loss of motor skills, dehydration, respiratory depression, difficulty breathing, excessive and/or involuntary urination, panting, hypothermia, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and abdominal pain. In severe cases, seizures, coma, metabolic acidosis and death may occur. Symptoms usually appear within 30 to 45 minutes of exposure. A lethal dose of alcohol varies depending on the Chihuahua's weight, symptoms, and the type and quantity of alcohol consumed. Beer typically has lowest concentration of alcohol at 4 to 6% ABV, while wine has a higher concentration at 9 to 16% ABV."

When they’re puppies they actually will fit into your teacup. Although these terms are not official breed designations, they’re descriptive enough to let you know you’re talking about the smallest members of a tiny breed. Size The only thing that makes a teacup Chihuahua different from any other Chihuahua is its size. Even a “big” Chihuahua shouldn’t weigh over 6 pounds. But there’s no minimum weight that applies, and teacups usually weigh in at 3 pounds or less. While you can argue all day about whether size matters or not, many folks find tiny dogs like to be definitely desirable. Be aware that a tiny puppy may still grow into a full-sized adult, so if your heart is set on small, look at the parents, too. Small parents make it more likely that the pup will stay small as well."

There's no surefire way of telling exactly how big a Chihuahua puppy will grow, but you can get a rough idea by looking at a number of factors. If you're sure you want a pooch of a certain size, consider rescuing an adult Chi from a shelter. Average Adult Size The average weight of an adult Chihuahua is between 3 and 6 pounds -- that's a wide variance for such a small breed. However, some Chis mature at weights smaller or larger than this when fully grown. The usually measure no taller than 5 inches at the shoulder. By the time they reach 8 months old, they should have reached their full adult height, but they may still fill out a bit are are likely to reach adult weight around 18 months.

Both folklore and archaeological finds show that the breed originated in Mexico. The most common theory is that Chihuahuas are descended from the Techichi, a companion dog favored by the Toltec civilization in Mexico. [ 2] No records of the Techichi are available before the 9th century, although dog pots from Colima, Mexico, buried as part of the western Mexico shaft tomb tradition which date back to 300 BC are thought to depict Techichis. [ 3] It is probable that earlier ancestors were present before the Mayas as dogs approximating the Chihuahua are found in materials from the Great Pyramid of Cholula, predating 1530 and in the ruins of Chichen Itza on the Yucatán Peninsula. [ 2]In fact, wheeled dog toys representing the Chihuahua have been unearthed across Mesoamerica from Mexico to El Salvador."

Five days later, 68 federal troops stationed in Charleston, South Carolina, withdrew to Fort Sumter, an island in Charleston Harbor. The North considered the fort to be the property of the United States government. The people of South Carolina believed it belonged to the new Confederacy. Four months later, the first engagement of the Civil War took place on this disputed soil.

"text": "April 10, 2011Lonnie Bunch Founding director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture The notion that Abraham Lincoln purposely provoked the Civil War by attempting to resupply Fort Sumter in April 1861 became a cornerstone of the reinterpretation of the Civil War after the defeat of the Confederacy in 1865. Most notably, the memoirs of the president and vice president of the Confederate States of America, Jefferson Davis and Alexander H. Stephens, argued that Lincoln wanted war and maneuvered the Confederacy into a position where it had no choice but to attack the garrison commanded by Maj. Robert Anderson. How Lincoln responded to the first crisis of his administration reveals a great deal about the newly inaugurated president’s political skills and the complex issues he faced during the secession crisis. One of Lincoln’s aims was to prevent the Border States from leaving the Union. He knew that if the Union undertook military action, it would be seen as the aggressor and as the initiator of a war between the states. Lincoln also worried that England or France might recognize the nascent Confederacy, especially if it was attacked by Northern forces. While Lincoln hoped to avoid war, he knew that if it came, it would be better for the Union to be seen as responding to Southern aggression. As Lincoln realized the growing need to resupply the soldiers at Fort Sumter, he faced several choices. He could abandon the fort, but that would give legitimacy to the Southern states’ claim that they were no longer part of the Union."

Anderson (1750-1826), who's buried in a family cemetery at the city's Seaton Spring Parkway entrance off Hurstbourne Parkway. A state highway historical marker at the site tells about Anderson and his Soldier's Retreat home, which was reconstructed in the 1980s just down the parkway. To find out about his son, Civil War Maj. Robert Anderson (1805-1871) — a Louisvillian who grew up at Soldier's Retreat — a visit by boat to Fort Sumter National Monument in Charleston Harbor in South Carolina provides a full account."

"text": "\"Back to Main Facts & Causes Page. FACTS THAT SUPPORT THE SOUTHERN VIEW OF THE CIVIL WARBy: Michael T. Griffith Most books on the Civil War are biased in favor of the Northern view of the conflict. However, in many of these books the careful reader can find a number of facts that support the Southern view of the war. In this article I will document the following facts from mainstream history books:* Abraham Lincoln knew that an attempt to resupply Fort Sumter could provoke a hostile response from the Confederacy. * The Confederate states seceded in a democratic, peaceful manner, and most Southerners supported secession. ( This refutes the notion expressed by some writers that Southern elitists pulled the South out of the Union against the will of most Southerners. )* Confederate forces treated Northern citizens and property considerably better than Union forces treated Southern citizens and property. * Slavery was not the only factor that led the states of the Deep South to secede. * Lincoln, in his first address to the country as president, threatened to invade the Confederate states if they didn't pay federal tariffs or if they didn't allow the federal government to occupy and maintain federal forts in Confederate territory. * President James Buchanan, Lincoln's predecessor in the White House, blamed the secession crisis on the North. *"

To the dismay of secessionists in Virginia and across the South, of the 152 delegates they elected, a solid majority were Unionist. Desire to leave the Union had never been as strong in the Upper South, and some Unionists speculated that Virginia's example might even draw the wayward Deep South back into the United States. When the convention met on February 13 in the Mechanics Institute at the foot of Capitol Square in Richmond, all of the factions favored delay. Radical secession men, small in number, were content to let the Confederates organize their infant republic in Montgomery, Alabama, before acting. Adamant Unionists, also a minority, bided their time as well. The great majority of delegates were conservatives who loved the Union, mistrusted Lincoln, but accepted his election and inauguration. They hoped that, like their predecessors in constitutional disputes of years past, they could cobble together some grand Union-saving compromise, persuade the convention to endorse it, and then adjourn. The Confederacy sent emissaries to the slave states of the Upper South to urge them to join the republic created in Montgomery. The Virginia convention permitted these representatives to address its members, though most delegates were immune to their strident demands."

"text": "One hundred fifty years ago, Captain George Sholter James of the South Carolina Artillery passed word to his subordinate, Lieutenant Henry Farley, to open fire on Fort Sumter, a half-mile away to the east, with a ten-inch mortar positioned at Fort Johnson. The concussion of that first shell would reverberate for the next four years. I’m not very good about remembering or observing anniversaries. ( My wife will confirm this.) And I probably wouldn’t write anything at all about the bombardment of Fort Sumter, but for a piece that appeared Monday in the Washington Post ‘s Civil War sesquicentennial blog, A House Divided. The blog itself is a group blog, which publishes short pieces by a variety of historians, written in response to specific questions. For Monday’s installment, the question was, “by attempting to resupply Ft. Sumter, did President Lincoln purposely provoke the war?” The selected respondents this time were Dennis Frye, Chief Historian at Harpers Ferry National Historical Park; Craig Symonds, Professor Emeritus at the United States Naval Academy, Mike Musick, former Subject Area Expert for the U. S. Civil War with the National Archives in Washington, D. C.; Brag Bowling, director of the Stephen D. Lee Institute and past Commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, Sons of Confederate Veterans and past President of the Richmond Civil War Roundtable; John Marszalek, Giles Distinguished Professor Emeritus of history at Mississippi State University; and Lonnie Bunch, Founding director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture. Each of the authors has a slightly different take on the question, though most conclude that Lincoln’s efforts to resupply Sumter were explicitly not intended to provoke a shooting war."

The Star of the West was attempting to resupply Union forces at Fort Sumter. Although the ship wasn't hit, Confederate forces were successful in driving the ship off.

In the wake of President Abraham Lincoln's election in November 1860, the state of South Carolina began debating secession. On December 20, a vote was taken in which the state decided to leave the Union. Over the next several weeks, South Carolina's lead was followed by Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas. As each state left, local forces began seizing federal installations and property. Among those military installations to hold out were Forts Sumter and Pickens in Charleston, SC and Pensacola, FL.

As much as the radical pro-slavery forces in the South refused to acknowledge it, slavery would have eventually become more trouble than it was worth. The only reason it continued to exist much beyond 1800 is because the cotton gin made plantation agriculture, and specifically the cultivation of cotton, much more profitable than it was. This increased the demand for unskilled slave labor in the Deep South. A symbiotic relationship developed between the Upper South, which became the primary source for new slaves after the transatlantic slave trade was banned in 1808, and the cotton states of the Deep South. Even with this new lease on life for slavery, a lot of the plantation owners were falling into debt by 1860, and the system was again becoming economically shaky. Slaves did provide free labor, but only in a sense; the owners did have to feed, clothe and shelter them, and that cost money. Plus, slaves had no incentive to excel, and naturally did only as much work as they could get by with."

Which method of abolishing slavery was most beneficial for African-Americans? Radical Abolition of Slavery Definition: \"\"Radical\"\" abolitionism is the belief that all forms of slavery should be stopped immediately, with full emancipation granted to slaves. Gradual Emancipation Definition: \"\"Gradual Emancipation\"\" was the form of an anti-slavery movement that allowed for the step-by-step liberation of African-American slaves. Tactics of Radical Abolition/Garrisonians: The Rise of \"\"Radicalism\"\" Early Attempts in America: The first United States attempt to abolish slavery came in April of 1688 when Quakers of Germantown, Pennsylvania sent a document to the governing bodies of their Quaker Church, the “Society of Friends”. “ An Act for the Gradual Abolition of Slavery” was passed by the Pennsylvania legislature on March 1st, 1780. This was the first attempt by a Northern \"\"State\"\" to abolish slavery (Vermont was a Republic). The first American abolition society is generally acknowledged as “The Society for the Relief of Free Negroes Unlawfully Held in Bondage”, formed in 1775 in Philadelphia, primarily by Quakers. After suspending activity during the Revolutionary War, it was reorganized with Benjamin Franklin as its first president."

He is considered by many historians to have been the greatest American president. Early Life Lincoln was born on Feb. 12, 1809, in a log cabin in Hardin (now Larue) County, Ky. Indians had killed his grandfather, Lincoln wrote, \"\"when he was laboring to open a farm in the forest\"\" in 1786; this tragedy left his father, Thomas Lincoln, \"\"a wandering laboring boy\"\" who \"\"grew up, literally without education.\"\" Thomas, nevertheless, became a skilled carpenter and purchased three farms in Kentucky before the Lincolns left the state. Little is known about Lincoln's mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln. Abraham had an older sister, Sarah, and a younger brother, Thomas, who died in infancy. In 1816 the Lincolns moved to Indiana, \"\"partly on account of slavery,\"\" Abraham recalled, \"\"but chiefly on account of difficulty in land titles in Kentucky.\"\" Land ownership was more secure in Indiana because the Land Ordinance of 1785 provided for surveys by the federal government; moreover, the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 forbade slavery in the area. Lincoln's parents belonged to a faction of the Baptist church that disapproved of slavery, and this affiliation may account for Abraham's later statement that he was \"\"naturally anti-slavery\"\" and could not remember when he \"\"did not so think, and feel. \"\" Indiana was a \"\"wild region, with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods.\"\""

Related to Emancipation Proclamation: 13th Amendment Emancipation Proclamation This engraving depicts the first reading of the Emancipation Proclamation before President Abraham Lincoln's cabinet in 1862. LIBRARY OF CONGRESSThe Emancipation Proclamation, formally issued on January 1, 1863, by President Abraham Lincoln is often mistakenly praised as the legal instrument that ended slavery—actually, the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, ratified in December 1865, outlawed Slavery. But theproclamation is justifiably celebrated as a significant step toward the goal of ending slavery andmaking African Americans equal citizens of the United States. Coming as it did in the midst of the Civil War (1861–65), the proclamation announced to the Confederacy and the world that the Abolition of slavery had become an important goal of the North in its fight against the rebelliousstates of the South. The document also marked a shift in Lincoln's mind toward support foremancipation. Just before signing the final document in 1863, Lincoln said, \"\"I never, in my life, feltmore certain that I was doing right than I do in signing this paper. \"\" In the text of the proclamation—which is almost entirely the work of Lincoln himself—Lincolncharacterizes his order as \"\"an act of justice, warranted by the Constitution upon military necessity. \"\" These words capture the essential character of Lincoln's work in the document. On the one hand, he perceived the proclamation as a kind of military tactic that would aid the Union in its difficultstruggle against the Confederacy."

Northners rather than destoying the nation at its birth, decided not to push the issue, although they did succeed in gaining provisions designed to weaken slavery. Many delegates and not just in the North believed that slavery would gradually disappear because it was uneconomic. Unfortunately Eli Witney invnted the cotton gin only a few years after the Constitution was ratified. And this transformed cotton and slavery into a hugely profitable agricultural system. Slavery was not only not going to die out, it would bcome the most profitable economic activity in the early Republic and slaves th mot valuable assett. The debate over slavery in the United States did not begin with the Constitutinal Convention (1787), but it was here that the issue first came to the fore. Some northern delegates were opposed to it. Southern delegates were committed to it. It became clear that there would be no Constitution without a compromise."

In the years before the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, Southern whites feared the end of slavery. These fears were shared by plantation slave owners and white yeomen farmers alike. While the type of fears varied, they all shared a common thread of unabashed racism. In addition, most fears were rooted in a concern for social order and economic development. Racial Mixing One of the biggest fears articulated before and after the Civil War was the issue of racial mixing. Under slavery, the relationship between white masters and their black slaves created a hierarchical social structure in which sexual relations between the two groups were forbidden. Southern whites enjoyed an unquestioned position of superiority. Some Southerners worried that if slavery were abolished, the two groups would intermingle and form sexual relationships."

Slavery was certainly the central issue here. The debate over slavery had been raging since prior to the adoption of the U. S. Constitution. However, throughout the history of the nation the South had been able to protect its interests (ie. continue to maintain a slave based economy without massive economic and cultural disruption). It had been able to do so because of the delicate balance of power in the Federal Government. The first and most crucial element was Congress. The Northern States had a large majority in the House of Representatives owing to the much larger population in the North. However, thanks to the two senators per state rule for the Senate, the South controlled 50% of the Senate. This meant legislation disruptive to the South created in the House could be stopped by the Senate unless every non-southern senator voted in locksteps with the House."

Answer by CB31999 Confidence votes 8.6KWhen Lincoln won the election of 1860, and took over the office of President of the United States, he had no intention of ending slavery. But, he was going to stop any more territories or new states to have slavery. When 11 of the southern states seceded, Lincoln finally realized that slavery would have to come to and end, in order to eventually have the United States as an entirely country of one, and not 2 separate sections. Lincoln called for a meeting at the White House with some of the most influential free Black men in the country. Lincoln explained that, \"\"It's time we parted ways.\"\" Lincoln explained that the United States had purchased a island called Granada. He tried to get the free Blacks to lead the slaves to freedom someplace else other than in the United States. The free Blacks refused Lincoln's offer."

The causes of the American Civil War are almost from the start of the country itself. The idea of state's rights in relation to the Federal government was an issue that plagued the country for years. During the war of 1812, New England considered secession because it was economically hurt by the war against the British. The issue of slavery is often brought up but that is in relation to the subject of state rights. Did Washington have the right to dictate to those states who disagreed with it?

There were few immigrants, and the colony suffered from a chronic shortage of manpower. It had only 183 residents by 1647. The Swedes also tried to join the rush by European powers to get footholds in West Africa to gain access to gold and slaves, but they were soon driven out by more aggressive European powers. The Swedes turned to Indian slaves when they could get them, but disease and westward migration had already emptied the region of native tribes. Still, a few Indian slaves persisted in Delaware until the 1720s, and the presence of a clause in the 1776 state constitution barring transportation of Indian slaves indicates that it was at least considered a possibility at that late date. Perhaps they were brought from the Carolinas. The Dutch The first black slave in the colony was named Anthony, and he had been brought up from the West Indies in 1639.

"text": "\"African Resistance Introduction Africans started to fight the transatlantic slave trade as soon as it began. Their struggles were multifaceted and covered four continents over four centuries. Still, they have often been underestimated, overlooked, or forgotten. African resistance was reported in European sources only when it concerned attacks on slave ships and company barracoons, but acts of resistance also took place far from the coast and thus escaped the slavers’ attention. To discover them, oral history, archaeology, and autobiographies and biographies of African victims of the slave trade have to be probed. Taken together, these various sources offer a detailed image of the varied strategies Africans used to defend themselves from and mount attacks against the slave trade. The Africans’ resistance continued in the Americas. They ran away, established maroon communities, used sabotage, conspired, and rose against those who held them in captivity. Freed people petitioned the authorities, led information campaigns, and worked actively to abolish the slave trade and slavery. In Europe, black abolitionists launched or participated in civic movements to end the deportation and enslavement of Africans."

Slavery The burning issue that led to the disruption of the union was the debate over the future of slavery. That dispute led to secession, and secession brought about a war in which the Northern and Western states and territories fought to preserve the Union, and the South fought to establish Southern independence as a new confederation of states under its own constitution. The agrarian South utilized slaves to tend its large plantations and perform other duties. On the eve of the Civil War, some 4 million Africans and their descendants toiled as slave laborers in the South. Slavery was interwoven into the Southern economy even though only a relatively small portion of the population actually owned slaves. Slaves could be rented or traded or sold to pay debts."

"text": "Slavery in the United States Jenny Bourne, Carleton College Slavery is fundamentally an economic phenomenon. Throughout history, slavery has existed where it has been economically worthwhile to those in power. The principal example in modern times is the U. S. South. Nearly 4 million slaves with a market value estimated to be between $3.1 and $3.6 billion lived in the U. S. just before the Civil War. Masters enjoyed rates of return on slaves comparable to those on other assets; cotton consumers, insurance companies, and industrial enterprises benefited from slavery as well. Such valuable property required rules to protect it, and the institutional practices surrounding slavery display a sophistication that rivals modern-day law and business. THE SPREAD OF SLAVERY IN THE U. S. Not long after Columbus set sail for the New World, the French and Spanish brought slaves with them on various expeditions. Slaves accompanied Ponce de Leon to Florida in 1513, for instance. But a far greater proportion of slaves arrived in chains in crowded, sweltering cargo holds. The first dark-skinned slaves in what was to become British North America arrived in Virginia — perhaps stopping first in Spanish lands — in 1619 aboard a Dutch vessel."

African slavery began in the new world because the Europeans had just moved there and needed people to work but couldn't enslave Indians because most had died off from diseases the Europeans had. So the Africans were ideal. One of the variations was indentured servitude. Mostly Europeans were this type of slave, where they agreed to be a servant for a set amount of time in exchange for passage to the New World or other services. However it is possible that there were some Black slaves who came to the New World this way, since there were Black colonialists before slavery became a big thing in the US. The type of slavery certainly varied per location. Mostly in the South, slaves worked mainly in the fields."

Open Document Slavery in Colonial America The first arrivals of Africans in America were treated similarly to the indentured servants in Europe. Black servants were treated differently from the white servants and by 1740 the slavery system in colonial America was fully developed. Slavery as it existed in America was a practice founded on the chattel principle. Slaves were treated as human chattel to be traded, sold, used, and ranked not among beings, but among things, as an article of property to the owner or possessor. Because the American slave system was based on this principle of human chattlehood, slaves were confined in many ways that handicapped them from even being able to act or live as a human being. The very idea of human chattelhood gave the master unlimited control over his defenseless slave. Chattels are not permitted to get married, acquire or hold property. Chattels cannot have rights and hence the slave has no rights. Chattels can be bought and sold and so justifies the existence of the slave trade. Chattels do not have any claim to legal protection, therefore the slave has none and must tolerate the cruelties of slavery."

European exploration of the area began in April 1540, with the Hernando de Soto expedition, who unwittingly introduced new Eurasian diseases that decimated the local Native American population, because they lacked any immunity. [ 1] In 1663 the English Crown granted land to eight proprietors of what became the colony. The first settlers came to the Province of Carolina at the port of Charleston in 1670; they were mostly wealthy planters and their slaves coming from the English Caribbean colony of Barbados. They started to develop their commodity crops of sugar and cotton. Pushing back the Native Americans in the Yamasee War (1715–17), colonists next overthrew the proprietors' rule, seeing more direct representation. In 1719, the colony was officially made a crown colony; North Carolina was split off and made into a separate colony in 1729. In the Stamp Act Crisis of 1765, South Carolina banded together with the other colonies to oppose British taxation and played a major role in resisting Britain. It became independent in March 1776 and joined the United States of America. [ 2] [3] The Revolution was bloody and hard fought in 1780–81, as the British invaded, captured the American army and were finally driven out."

"text": "\"SLAVERY in the NORTHNorthern slavery grew out of the paradox the new continent presented to its European masters. So much land was available, so cheaply, that no one was willing to come to America and sign on to work as a laborer. The dream that drew Europeans across the Atlantic was owning acres of land or making a fortune in a trade or a craft. It was an attainable dream. In the 1680s a landless Welsh peasant from the mountains of Montgomeryshire could bring his whole family to Pennsylvania for £10 and acquire 250 acres for another £5; placing just one son in a trade in Britain would have cost the family £7. Yet workers were needed in the new continent to clear the land, work the soil, build the towns. Because of this acute labor shortage, all the American colonies turned to compulsory labor. In New Netherland, in the 1640s, a free European worker could be hired for 280 guilders a year, plus food and lodging. In the same time and place, experienced African slaves from the West Indies could be bought outright, for life, for 300 guilders. \"\" To claim that the colonies would not have survived without slaves would be a distortion,\"\" historian Edgar Mc Manus writes, \"\"but there can be no doubt that the development was significantly speeded by their labor."

"text": "History Race and Class Slavery and the origins of the Civil War By James Illingworth Issue #78: Features Share IN DECEMBER 2010, a group of well-heeled South Carolinians gathered in Charleston for a “Secession Ball” to mark the sesquicentennial of their state’s exit from the Union. As partygoers strutted around in period costume—Confederate gray for the men and hoop skirts for the women—one speechmaker announced that the South had seceded “not to preserve the institution of slavery, not for glory or riches or honor, but for freedom alone.” 1Readers of the International Socialist Review might expect the Charleston elite to misrepresent or misunderstand the nature of the Civil War. But the elite are hardly alone. In fact, one hundred fifty years after it began, the Civil War remains one of the most misunderstood episodes in American history. Unfortunately, this is just as true on the left as it is on the right. In a recent Pew poll, 60 percent of Americans under the age of thirty identified states’ rights as a more important cause of the conflict than slavery. 2 These results are all the more disheartening when we take into account this generation’s generally progressive political leanings on other issues. The Pew findings are less surprising when we consider the confusion among even radical historians of the American Civil War. In his otherwise excellent People’s History of the Civil War, for example, David Williams suggests that the conflict had a negligible impact on American society. “"

Littlefield Carolina Professor of History University of South Carolina National Humanities Center Fellow ©National Humanities Center Slavery was work, often very hard work, sustained by force and the threat of humiliation and separation from family and community. Most commonly, Slave labor differed according to period and location. it was routinized and mind-numbing, a repetition of the same tasks or movements, changed only by the season of the year or time of day. This image gave rise to the expression “factories in the field,” evoking an early industrial model where workers were no more than cogs in a machine. Work on a sugar plantation. Yet plantation labor was not always and everywhere the same. Work on sugar plantations in the West Indies was not the same as that on rice plantations in South Carolina, which was different again from what enslaved laborers did on tobacco farms in the Chesapeake. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when slavery extended to the Middle Colonies and New England, work there was even more different, at least in the variety of tasks and the influence an enslaved person might exercise over his or her work (they could sometimes initiate a change of master), though in other ways, particularly in the element of compulsion, it was much the same. Moreover, labor in all these places changed over time and was dependent upon advances in mechanization, stages of plantation development, and changes in management outlooks. Everywhere circumstances diverged between those who merely did common labor and those who exercised skills."

"text": "\"Did The South Have The Right To Secede ? January 14, 2007 Doug Mataconis Constitution, History The comments that have been generated by this post at my personal blog on Lee-Jackson Day, as well as a comment thread I’ve been involved with in response to a related post at Republitarian, have led me to an interesting question. Namely, when the Confederacy seceded from the Union in the wake of the 1860 election, did they have the right to do so ? I am not asking whether they had the right under the Constitution, or dealing at this point with the question of whether a right of secession even existed under the Constitution prior to the Civil War, but instead asks this question: Looking at the secession of the Confederate States as an act of rebellion akin, in some sense, to the American Revolution (although I do not believe the two to be equal in status in any sense), did the political circumstances at the time justify rebellion ? In the most important part of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson set forth the criteria for when armed rebellion is justified: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security In other words, taking up armed rebellion is not something that should be done for light or trivial reasons. Nor it is something that should be done when there are other, less violent methods for effecting political change. So, how does this apply to the situation that existed in 1860 ?"

Glaser As much as exploration, adventure, politics, and the religious issues of the Renaissance period propelled Europeans to the Americas, the driving force behind Europe's interest in the New World was economic. As Europeans began to settle in the Americas and initiate cultural change, they brought with them their values and economic institutions. One such institution was that of \"\"mercantalism,\"\" a series of policies that established a uniform monetary system and even set wages. Slavery itself was altered by these practices, as various forms of servitude emerged to achieve specific economic ends. The European Economy of the Middle Ages Until the fifteenth century, the economy of Western Europe depended upon agriculture. The system of feudalism dictated that wealthy families of \"\"lords\"\" rule certain territories. The peasant farmer, who made up most of the region's population, worked for the lords in exchange for crops and other items of sustenance. Advancements in farming technology had helped Europe recover from the devastating famine and diseases of the Middle Ages and allowed the population to grow to three times its size.

Yet all residents of the region shared two important traits. First, they lived and worked in a natural environment unlike any other in the American colonies. Second, like humans everywhere, their presence on the landscape had profound implications for the natural world. Exploring the ecological transformation of the colonial South offers an opportunity to examine the ways in which three distinct cultures—Native American, European, and African—influenced and shaped the environment in a fascinating part of North America. The Native American World Like natives elsewhere in North America, those in the South practiced shifting seasonal subsistence, altering their diets and food gathering techniques to conform to the changing seasons. In spring, a season which brought massive runs of shad, alewives, herring, and mullet from the ocean into the rivers, Indians in Florida and elsewhere along the Atlantic coastal plain relied on fish taken with nets, spears, or hooks and lines. In autumn and winter—especially in the piedmont and uplands—the natives turned more to deer, bear, and other game animals for sustenance. Because they required game animals in quantity, Indians often set light ground fires to create brushy edge habitats and open areas in southern forests that attracted deer and other animals to well-defined hunting grounds. The natives also used fire to drive deer and other game into areas where the animals might be easily dispatched."

The conference was held near Berlin in July 1945 and reunited Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, British prime ministers Winston Churchill and Clement Attlee, and American President Harry S. Truman. Potsdam also confirmed British and American suspicians about Stalin's intentions.

The Emergence of the Two Super Powers and the Roots of the Cold War If you recall your World War II history, the United States and the Soviet Union were allies during the war. Together, these nations and others brought about the downfall of Hitler's Third Reich. When the war ended in 1945, these two countries emerged as world super powers. They were it: the two most powerful states in the world. When the war ended, the two super powers had very different ideas of how Europe should be restructured. Herein lies the roots of the Cold War."

Under his leadership the Soviet Union had just won the war of the century, and that victory was closely identified with his role as the country’s supreme commander. World War II was a global conflict of immense proportions in which 50 million people died, but at its heart was the epic struggle between Stalin and Hitler on the Eastern Front. The war began with Hitler’s attack on Poland in September 1939 and was followed by the stunning German defeat of France in summer 1940. Not until June 1941 did Hitler launch his invasion of the Soviet Union—a state that posed a strategic threat to German domination of Europe as well as being an ideological rival and racial enemy. At first all went well for Operation Barbarossa—the codename for the German invasion—as Hitler’s armies penetrated deep into Russia, reaching the outskirts of Leningrad and Moscow by the end of 1941. In 1942, however, the Soviets turned the tables on the Germans and won a great victory at Stalingrad that spelled doom for the Wehrmacht."

In the West they were called satellites because they clung closely to the Soviet Union like satellites round a planet. Stalin was able to create this empire for a number of reasons. The first was the military might of the Soviet Union in Europe after 1945. Unaffected by the pressures of domestic opinion, Stalin was able to keep huge numbers of troops in a state of readiness, whereas the western powers were under intense pressure to ‘bring the boys back home’ as soon as possible. Neither Britain nor the United States were prepared to fight over Eastern Europe and Stalin knew this. Another reason for the spread of Communism after the war was the gratitude of many Eastern Europeans for their liberation from Nazism."

Before the downfall of Hitler’s Reich, the Allies worked to formulate plans for the administration of defeated Germany. In the London Protocol of 1944 Britain, France, the USA and Soviet Union agreed that once the war was won, Germany would be divided into four Zones, each to be overseen by one of these victorious powers. Each Zone would be managed by a supreme commander representing his country, and the policies of all four Powers would be coordinated in an Allied Control Council. The capital city, Berlin, was a special case. Though the city fell within the Soviet Zone in northeastern Germany, the Allies determined that the administration of Berlin would be divided between them in four Sectors, one each for Britain, France, the USSR and USA. [ i]left: the Big Three: Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin; the men who shaped postwar Europe The plan for Germany’s postwar future was confirmed and expanded throughout 1944 as Allied armies continued to advance on all fronts. During this time, the Western Allies (chiefly America, Britain and France) made an oversight that would later come back to haunt them. In the agreements for postwar Germany, they failed to acquire an official guarantee of free access from their Zones through the Soviet Zone to Berlin. This would allow the Soviets to later argue that they didn’t technically have to allow such access. ["

"text": "'Big Three' meet at Yalta Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin met together for the last time at Yalta On 3 February 1945, Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt arrived at Yalta, a resort on the southern coast of the Crimea on the Black Sea. They were there to meet with Stalin to discuss the final attack on the Germans and Japanese and the future of the post-war world. They were meeting in the Crimea – a place Churchill described as the ‘Riviera of Hades’ – rather than anywhere else, for one simple reason; Stalin controlled where they met. It had been Stalin who had said that he would only meet the British and American leaders in Tehran back in November 1943, and it had been Stalin who had insisted this meeting would be on Soviet territory in the Crimea. It was a small – but significant – sign of Stalin’s power. Much has been written about Roosevelt’s physical appearance at the Yalta conference. Hugh Lunghi, who was there as part of the British mission, was shocked to see the American President: ‘His face was waxen to a sort of yellow, waxen and very drawn, very thin, and a lot of the time he was sort of sitting there with his mouth open sort of staring ahead. So that was quite a shock. ’Roosevelt would be dead less than four months after Yalta, and he was clearly a sick man already. But what is certain is that, despite his obvious ill-health, Roosevelt’s aims and strategies for the conference were in perfect sync with his previously expressed views."

"text": "Arts & Humanities History Why did Stalin want to control eastern Europe after world war II? Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: There are three main reasons for Stalin wanting to control Eastern Europe: 1) Russia has historically had no secure border. There are no great rivers, no mountains, no deserts no seas that separate her from her potentially war-like neighbours. This fear of invasion, and the idea of buying time through land (Russia, when invaded has often allowed the enemy to invade, then, when their supply lines are overstretched, they counter-attack) is one of the reasons that Russia became so big. As former order towns become consolidated into the Russian political landscape, so does the need to push the border further away from the heartland. After the devastation faced in the Soviet Union in WWII the Soviets wanted to push the border as far away from Kiev, from Moscow & Minsk as they could. 2) They wanted to set up satellite countries because they could. The Red Army had conquered the territory at great expense and the Soviet leadership was unwilling to simply withdraw - allowing Western style governments to push right up to her borders. 3) The Yalta Agreement between FDR, Churchill & Stalin had laid out the spheres of influence that each of the Allied countries would have, and the satellite countries all fell under the Soviet sphere. Some further reasons: The Soviets had a different view of democracy to the one in the West."

"text": "The Hungarian Uprising of 1956Hungary in 1956 seemed to sum up all that the Cold War stood for. The people of Hungary and the rest of Eastern Europe were ruled over with a rod of iron by Communist Russia and anybody who challenged the rule of Stalin and Russia paid the price. The death of Stalin in 1953 did not weaken the grip Moscow had on the people of Eastern Europe and Hungary, by challenging the rule of Moscow, paid such a price in 1956. From 1945 on the Hungarians were under the control of Moscow. All wealth of whatever nature was taken from Hungary by the Russians who showed their power by putting thousands of Russian troops and hundreds of tanks in Hungary. The Hungarian leader, Rakosi, was put in power by Stalin of Russia. When Stalin died in 1953 all people in Eastern Europe were given some hope that they might be free from Soviet (Russian) rule. In February 1956, the new Russian leader Khruschev made a bitter attack on the dead Stalin and his policies and in July 1956 in a gesture to the Hungarians, Rakosi was forced to resign. In fact, the Hungarians had expected more but they did not get it. This situation, combined with 1) a bad harvest 2) fuel shortages 3) a cold and wet autumn all created a volatile situation."

"text": "Jacksonian democracy The democratization of politics Nevertheless, American politics became increasingly democratic during the 1820s and ’30s. Local and state offices that had earlier been appointive became elective. Suffrage was expanded as property and other restrictions on voting were reduced or abandoned in most states. The freehold requirement that had denied voting to all but holders of real estate was almost everywhere discarded before 1820, while the taxpaying qualification was also removed, if more slowly and gradually. In many states a printed ballot replaced the earlier system of voice voting, while the secret ballot also grew in favour. Whereas in 1800 only two states provided for the popular choice of presidential electors, by 1832 only South Carolina still left the decision to the legislature. Conventions of elected delegates increasingly replaced legislative or congressional caucuses as the agencies for making party nominations. By the latter change, a system for nominating candidates by self-appointed cliques meeting in secret was replaced by a system of open selection of candidates by democratically elected bodies. These democratic changes were not engineered by Andrew Jackson and his followers, as was once believed. Most of them antedated the emergence of Jackson’s Democratic Party, and in New York, Mississippi, and other states some of the reforms were accomplished over the objections of the Jacksonians."

After the Battle of New Orleans, Andrew Jackson (“Old Hickory”) first became publicly recognized as a war hero and an Indian fighter. Very few people, if any, probably predicted he would one day become the president of the United States; but he did! In the election of 1828, Jackson campaigned as an authentic man of the people and was elected president by a landslide. During the campaign, Jacksonians created a new political party—the Democrats, the first modern one created, that supported Jackson and his run for office. Upon Jackson entering office, America saw the birth of a new era of mass democracy. Jacksonian Democrats viewed themselves as the guardians of the United States Constitution, political democracy, individual liberty, and equality of economic opportunity. This was true to an extent, but Jackson and his followers did have some flaws. When it comes to the Unites States Constitution, Jackson attempted to act as a guardian; but he only protected its content when it benefited his popularity or ran parallel with his stances on governmental issues. Jackson was most definitely disappointed with his vice president, John Calhoun, when he emerged as the leader of the states’ rights uprising in South Carolina."

Controversy from the Start Andrew Jackson’s time as president would mark a major historical shift for the United States. Unfortunately, the first two years of his term were marred by a social scandal that turned political. Just months before Jackson took office his close friend and Secretary of War, John Eaton, married Margaret “Peggy” Timberlake of whom Washington socialites disapproved due to her questionable upbringing and rumors concerning her past. When the other cabinet members’ wives refused to associate with Mrs. Eaton, Jackson was forced to defend his friends, especially since John Eaton had defended Rachel Jackson so vigorously during the 1828 campaign. He demanded Mrs. Eaton be accepted into Washington’s social circles. This became known as the “Eaton Affair.” At the same time, several of Jackson’s cabinet members, thinking he would only serve one term, were positioning themselves to succeed him as president. These divisive actions resulted in Jackson showing favor only to those who socialized with the Eatons and proved their loyalty to him in other ways. To rid himself of the immediate controversy Jackson dismissed his entire cabinet in 1831 except for the Postmaster General."

Kean Collection/Getty Images Life span: Born: December 5, 1782, Kinderhook, New York. Died: July 24, 1862, Kinderhook, New York, at the age of 79. Martin Van Buren was the first American president born after the colonies declared their independence from Britain and became the United States. To put the span of Van Buren's life in perspective, he could recall that as a young man he had stood several feet away from Alexander Hamilton, who was giving a speech in New York City. The youthful Van Buren was also acquainted with Hamilton's enemy (and eventual killer) Aaron Burr. Near the end of his life, on the eve of the Civil War, Van Buren publicly expressed his support for Abraham Lincoln, whom he had met years earlier on a trip to Illinois. Presidential term: March 4, 1837 - March 4, 1841Van Buren was elected president in 1836, following the two terms of Andrew Jackson."

As the nation’s economic and political systems began to mature and diversify, however, the consensus on the tariff’s role gradually broke down. Particularly within the context of sectional and partisan conflict, the tariff assumed a political significance beyond its putative revenue-generating function.

In the wake of the conflict with Britain, nationalist war-hawks like Henry Clay and John Calhoun sought to nurture independent industry that had sprung up during the Embargo era, while reducing reliance on British manufactures. Even so, the Tariff Act of 1816 was only mildly protectionist, more in keeping with those enacted since 1789 than with those that would follow after 1820. Manufacturing interests in the United States (particularly in the West and New England) did not yet carry the political clout in Congress that mercantile and shipping interests (who tended to oppose tariffs) did."

So if the question is \"\"Was Andrew Jackson a good person? Was he morally responsible?\"\" then I agree with some of the other answers to this question: No, absolutely he wasn't. If the question is about Andrew Jackson's effect on the United States, however (and I think it's a very different set of questions, for the most part), we should reconsider. Students of American history need to be aware of his enormous importance as a president for other reasons as well. Andrew Jackson was an incredibly important president for the 19th century. Jackson was the first president from the American frontier, and the first not from Massachusetts or Virginia."

"text": "Instructor: Steven Shirley In this lesson, we will discuss how Andrew Jackson's administration strengthened executive power as well as the rise of the Whig Party in opposition to Jackson and his policies. Jackson's Administration Begins'Old Hickory' Andrew Jackson had little time to bask in the victory of 1828. He had implored the common man for their support, he got it, and now it was time to deliver. Surely the loss of his wife Rachel left an indelible mark on Jackson's first years in office, but it did not damper his popularity or his penchant for populist politics. His inauguration became the first that was open to the public, and the public came in droves. It became a wild party for some of his supporters, who drank, ate, and celebrated the election of someone they viewed as one of their own. Jackson did little to dissuade this perception. He took a meandering 3-week journey from Tennessee to D. C., greeted by joyous supporters all along the way, before finally emerging in front of an estimated 21,000 supporters at his inauguration on the Capitol steps. One eye witness wrote of his impressions of this moment:'Never can I forget the spectacle which presented itself on every side, nor the electrifying moment when the eager, expectant eyes of that vast, motley multitude caught sight of the tall, imposing form of their adored leader, as he came forth between the columns of the portico, the color of the whole mass changed, as if by miracle; all hats were off at once, and the dark tint which usually pervades a mixed map of men was turned, as by magic wand, into the bright hue of ten thousand upturned and expectant human faces, radiant with sudden joy. The peal of shouting that arose rent the air, and seemed to shake the very ground."

Before being elected to the presidency, Jackson gained fame as a general in the United States Army and served in both houses of Congress. As president, Jackson sought to advance the rights of the \"\"common man\"\" [1] against a \"\"corrupt aristocracy\"\" [2] and to preserve the Union. Born in the colonial Carolinas to a Scotch-Irish family in the decade before the American Revolutionary War, Jackson became a frontier lawyer and married Rachel Donelson Robards. He served briefly in the U. S. House of Representatives and the U. S. Senate representing Tennessee. After resigning, he served as a justice on the Tennessee Supreme Court from 1798 until 1804. Jackson purchased a property later known as the Hermitage, and became a wealthy, slaveowning planter. In 1801, he was appointed colonel of the Tennessee militia and was elected its commander the following year. He led troops during the Creek War of 1813–1814, winning the Battle of Horseshoe Bend."

It was alleged, and later largely proven, that many lower employees of the executive branch had undertaken actions to help the party carry certain swing states in the election of 1938, among other things.

It serves as the central bank of the United States and its primary duty is to prevent financial panics and maintain the stability of the financial system. Its record could probably be interpreted as long periods of success with the occasional massive catastrophes, but most economic experts agree that this is much better than the far more frequent financial panics that occurred in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries."

It required that many documents such as licenses, diplomas, contracts and even playing cards be printed on embossed (or stamped) paper that had a tax on it. Parliament intended to use the tax to help pay the expenses of British troops on the frontier, but instead the colonists reacted with fury as they torched the homes of stamp distributors, captured stamps and destroyed them and completely refused to comply with the act. The issue they were so angry about? Taxation without representation! They had no representatives in Parliament and believed the Stamp Act clearly violated their right as English citizens to have taxes laid only by those whom they had elected. You can read more about the history and impact of the Stamp Act below. Background of the Stamp Act of 1765There was a series of causes leading up to the American Revolution that took place over many years, most having to do with taxation. The Molasses Act, the Proclamation of 1763, the Currency Act and the Sugar Act, all caused resentment by restricting colonial trade and ingenuity, in order to benefit the mother country at the colonists' expense.

The Quartering Act was an act, passed by Parliament that made colonists house or quarter British soldiers. While many sources claim that the 1774 act allowed troops to be billeted in occupied private homes, this is a myth. The act only permitted troops to be quartered in unoccupied buildings. It did not, as generations of American school children were taught, permit the housing of troops in private homes.

The thirteen American colonies were one part of a global empire generated by the British in a series of colonial wars beginning in the late seventeenth century and continuing on to the mid eighteenth century. The British military establishment increased relentlessly in size during this period as it engaged in the Nine Years War (1688-97), the War of Spanish Succession (1702-13), the War of Austrian Succession (1739-48), and the Seven Years War (1756-63). These wars brought considerable additions to the British Empire. In North America alone the British victory in the Seven Years War resulted in France ceding to Britain all of its territory east of the Mississippi River as well as all of Canada and Spain surrendering its claim to Florida (Nester, 2000). Given the sheer magnitude of the British military and its empire, the actions taken by the American colonists for independence have long fascinated scholars. Why did the colonists want independence? How were they able to achieve a victory over what was at the time the world’s preeminent military power? What were the consequences of achieving independence? These and many other questions have engaged the attention of economic, legal, military, political, and social historians."

Sponsored by George Grenville, it was the first directtax imposed by Britain on the colonies. The law required colonists to pay a tax on every piece of printed paper they used. Such stamps had been required on legal documents and publications in England for 100 years. The funds raised by the tax were intended to help pay the costs of defending and protecting the American frontier. They planned to place 10,000 troops near the Appalachian Mountains. Most colonists were outraged by the tax because they saw it as an unjust attempt to raise money in the colonies without the consent of the colonists. They did not elect members of Parliament and there was no approval required by the various colonial legislatures. Although the Stamp Act itself was not a harsh measure, colonists feared the standard this new type of legislation would set. \"\" No taxation without representation\"\" became the rallying cry."

"text": "History Modern History US History Q: How Did the Colonists React to the Stamp Act? A: Quick Answer Colonists reacted to the Stamp Act of 1765 by vocalizing their dissent in assemblies, newspapers and the Stamp Act Congress, which drafted a document called the Stamp Act Resolves. Additionally, violent protesters threatened stamp distributors, forcing them to resign their commissions, and mobs prevented stamp papers from entering the country. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Was the Significance of the Stamp Act Congress? Why Was The Stamp Act Enacted? Why Did the Colonists Dislike the Stamp Act? Full Answer The British Parliament enacted the Stamp Act to help pay for the Seven Years War with France, through which Britain gained possession of North America. Although Americans had paid duties on imports and exports in the past, the tax stamps on newspapers, pamphlets, deeds, wills and playing cards were the first direct taxes imposed upon the colonists. They objected to taxation without the right to vote for their representatives in Parliament and declared that only their own assemblies should have the power to tax them. In Boston, colonists who dubbed themselves the Sons of Liberty hanged the local stamp distributor in effigy and then destroyed his home and property."

"text": "\"The Declaration of Independence When in the course of human events . . . The Sons of Liberty In Boston in early summer of 1765 a group of shopkeepers and artisans who called themselves The Loyal Nine, began preparing for agitation against the Stamp Act. As that group grew, it came to be known as the Sons of Liberty. And grow it did! These were not the leading men of Boston, but rather workers and tradesmen. It was unseemly that they would be so agitated by a parliamentary act. Though their ranks did not include Samuel and John Adams, the fact may have been a result of a mutually beneficial agreement. The Adams' and other radical members of the legislature were daily in the public eye; they could not afford to be too closely associated with violence, neither could the secretive Sons of Liberty afford much public exposure. However, amongst the members were two men who could generate much public sentiment about the Act. Benjamin Edes, a printer, and John Gill of the Boston Gazette produced a steady stream of news and opinion."

"text": "\"Could eating a mince pie at Christmas be bad for more than your waistline? The Law Commission has proposed the abolition of 800 antiquated laws, but there is a wealth of mythology about what is and isn't illegal. Can you really be arrested for eating a mince pie on Christmas Day? Are you within your rights to shoot a Welsh person with a longbow on a Sunday in Chester? According to British urban legend, ancient laws could still land you in trouble or, literally, allow you to get away with murder. As the story goes, everything from sticking a stamp on a letter the wrong way around to driving without a bale of hay in your boot theoretically runs the risk of arrest from an over-zealous police officer. But most of these legendary laws are just that - legend and not reality. Some of the laws did exist but have since been overturned. Others, like the ban on boys under the age of 10 seeing a naked mannequin, never quite made it on to the statute books. So how did people come to believe that enjoying a mince pie could land them in jail and sticking a stamp upside down was tantamount to treason?"

"text": "British Impositions and Colonial Resistance, 1763–1770After the French and Indian War, Britain was the premier colonial power in North America. The Treaty of Paris (1763) more than doubled British territories in North America and eliminated the French as a threat. While British power seemed more secure than ever, there were signs of trouble brewing in the colonies. The main problem concerned British finances. The British government had accumulated a massive debt fighting the French and Indian War, and now looked to the American colonies to help pay it. King George III and his prime minister, George Grenville, noted that the colonists had benefited most from the expensive war and yet had paid very little in comparison to citizens living in England. To even this disparity, Parliament passed a series of acts (listed below) designed to secure revenue from the colonies. In addition, royal officials revoked their policy of salutary neglect and began to enforce the Navigation Acts, and newer taxation measures, with vigor. Angry colonists chafed under such tight control after years of relative independence. The Proclamation Line In efforts to keep peace with the Native Americans, the British government established the Proclamation Line in 1763, barring colonial settlement west of the Allegheny Mountains in Pennsylvania."

"text": "\"A report on the reaction to the Stamp Act, 1765A Spotlight on a Primary Source by Archibald Hinshelwood Archibald Hinshelwood to Joshua Mauger, August 19, 1765. ( Gilder Lehrman Collection)On March 22, 1765, the British Parliament passed the \"\"Stamp Act\"\" to help pay for British troops stationed in the colonies during the Seven Years’ War. It required the colonists to pay a tax, represented by a stamp, on various papers, documents, and playing cards. It was a direct tax imposed by the British government without the approval of the colonial legislatures and was payable in hard-to-obtain British sterling, rather than colonial currency. Further, those accused of violating the Stamp Act could be prosecuted in Vice-Admiralty Courts, which had no juries and could be held anywhere in the British Empire. Adverse colonial reaction to the Stamp Act ranged from boycotts of British goods to riots and attacks on the tax collectors. In this letter, Archibald Hinshelwood, merchant and rising politician from Nova Scotia, described his impressions of the Stamp Act and of the resulting colonial unrest: \"\"There is a violent spirit of opposition raised on the Continent against the execution of the Stamp Act, the mob in Boston have carried it very high against Mr. Oliver the Secry (a Town born child) for his acceptance of an office in consequence of that act. They have even proceeded to some violence, and burnt him in effigy &c.\"\" Despite the evidence of hostility in the colonies to the south, Hinshelwood was hoping to be appointed a tax collector in Halifax. Although the Stamp Act occurred eleven years before the Declaration of Independence, it defined the central issue that provoked the American Revolution: no taxation without representation.

Parliament had passed the Stamp Act, which required the use of specially stamped paper for legal documents, playing cards, calendars, newspapers and dice for virtually all business in the colonies, and was going into effect on November 1. The Congress was organized in response to a circular letter distributed by the colonial legislature of the Province of Massachusetts Bay, and consisted of delegates from nine of the eighteen British colonies in North America. All nine of the attending delegations were from the Thirteen Colonies that eventually formed the United States of America. Although sentiment was strong in some of the other colonies to participate in the Congress, a number of royal governors took steps to prevent the colonial legislatures from meeting to select delegates. The Congress met in the building now known as Federal Hall, and was held at a time of widespread protests in the colonies, some of which were violent, against the Stamp Act's implementation. The delegates discussed and united against the act, issuing a Declaration of Rights and Grievances in which they claimed that Parliament did not have the right to impose the tax because it did not include any representation from the colonies. Members of six of the nine delegations signed petitions addressed to Parliament and King George III objecting to the Act's provisions."

It thus became a statutory embodiment of the principles of equality and common allegiance to the Crown set out in the Balfour Declaration of 1926. It was a crucial step in the development of the Dominions as separate states. The Statute of Westminster's relevance today is that it sets the basis for the continuing relationship between the Commonwealth realms and the Crown.

"text": "History of the Commonwealth The Commonwealth has been described as an organism which could evolve, but could not have been constructed from a blueprint. This distinguishes it from the United Nations, built around its charter in the conscious endeavour to establish universally-recognised standards for international conduct. Unlike other international official organisations, the character of the Commonwealth is less markedly that of an alliance or contractual arrangement then it is a family. Many Commonwealth presidents and prime ministers, and its Head, Queen Elizabeth II, have drawn attention to this feeling of family. Like a family, the Commonwealth exists because its members feel they have a natural connection of long standing. Its work for development has been possible because the Commonwealth connection was already there. Members see the connection as natural because they have a shared past, a common language and, despite their differences, an enhanced capacity to trust one another. They have used this link to strengthen each other’s development, and to work in partnership to advance global agreement over crucial issues such as trade, debt, gender equality, the environment, the threat of terrorism and the international financial system. A product of history and foresight The Commonwealth of today was by no means an inevitable development. It came about through the powerful bonds which developed among leaders and people, notably during the decolonising process and in the early years of the Commonwealth’s evolution as an association of sovereign states."

"text": "Arts & Humanities History How did Canada and Australia gain independence from Britain without fighting the Brits?1 following 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: After their devastating loss of America, the British Empire was afraid that other colonies might also secede and ultimately weaken the empire. So as the growing and emerging colonies of Canada and Australia came to a place of wanting their independence from the Motherland, Great Britain co-operated in their establishment of individual commonwealths, albeit initially under the direct governorship of the crown. Mutual agreement was the order of the day, and since Australia's federation (1901) there has been a gradual shift towards full independence. The Monarch is still the highest authority in Australia and both Canada and Australia remain as member nations of the British Commonwealth. Kingmaker · 9 years ago1 0 Comment Technically Australia New Zealand and Canada are not completely independent from Britain. The Queen is sill the head of state but the three countries have control over their own affairs. The process was slow to gain control over their own affairs but their was no rush because of the historical relationship. Canada, Australia and New Zealand never felt it necessary to rush the process. Canada Australia and New Zealand's historical relationship with Britain was different then the US Colonies.

It came into being on 31 May 1910 with the unification of four previously separate British colonies: the Cape, Natal, Transvaal and Orange River colonies. It included the territories formerly part of the Boer republics annexed in 1902, the South African Republic and the Orange Free State. Following the First World War, the Union of South Africa was granted the administration of South West Africa (formerly a German colony and today the sovereign state of Namibia) as a League of Nations mandate, which became treated in most respects as if it were another province of the Union, but never was formally annexed. The Union of South Africa was a self-governing autonomous dominion of the British Empire. Its independence from Britain was confirmed in the Balfour Declaration 1926 and the Statute of Westminster 1931."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Constitutional government)navigation search For other uses, see Constitution (disambiguation). Copy of the Magna Carta from 1297. A constitution is a set of fundamental principles or established precedents according to which a state or other organization is governed. [ 1] These rules together make up, i.e. constitute, what the entity is. When these principles are written down into a single document or set of legal documents, those documents may be said to embody a written constitution; if they are written down in a single comprehensive document, it is said to embody a codified constitution. Some constitutions (such as the constitution of the United Kingdom) are uncodified, but written in numerous fundamental Acts of a legislature, court cases or treaties. [ 2]Constitutions concern different levels of organizations, from sovereign states to companies and unincorporated associations. A treaty which establishes an international organization is also its constitution, in that it would define how that organization is constituted. Within states, a constitution defines the principles upon which the state is based, the procedure in which laws are made and by whom. Some constitutions, especially codified constitutions, also act as limiters of state power, by establishing lines which a state's rulers cannot cross, such as fundamental rights."

In cases where the parties disagree on what the law is, a common law court looks to past precedential decisions of relevant courts, and synthesizes the principles of those past cases as applicable to the current facts. If a similar dispute has been resolved in the past, the court is usually bound to follow the reasoning used in the prior decision (a principle known as stare decisis ). If, however, the court finds that the current dispute is fundamentally distinct from all previous cases (called a \"\" matter of first impression \"\"), and legislative statutes are either silent or ambiguous on the question, judges have the authority and duty to resolve the issue (one party or the other has to win, and on disagreements of law, judges make that decision). [ 6] The court states an opinion that gives reasons for the decision, and those reasons agglomerate with past decisions as precedent to bind future judges and litigants."

It’s about time we set the record straight!It is illegal to eat mince pies on Christmas Day On December 25, 1644 eating mince pies was illegal, but only on that day as it fell on a legally mandated day of fasting. The Long Parliament of Interregnum banned all celebrations of Christmas due to this, not just mince pies. They were, however, a symbol of the immoral excesses of the festive season and therefore strongly disapproved. Following the Restoration of the Monarchy any statutes of the Interregnum were invalid, as they passed without Royal Assent. King Charles II did re-enact some statutes, but banning Christmas or mince pies was not one.

The Law Commission has proposed the abolition of 800 antiquated laws, but there is a wealth of mythology about what is and isn't illegal. Can you really be arrested for eating a mince pie on Christmas Day? Are you within your rights to shoot a Welsh person with a longbow on a Sunday in Chester? According to British urban legend, ancient laws could still land you in trouble or, literally, allow you to get away with murder. As the story goes, everything from sticking a stamp on a letter the wrong way around to driving without a bale of hay in your boot theoretically runs the risk of arrest from an over-zealous police officer. But most of these legendary laws are just that - legend and not reality. Some of the laws did exist but have since been overturned. Others, like the ban on boys under the age of 10 seeing a naked mannequin, never quite made it on to the statute books. So how did people come to believe that enjoying a mince pie could land them in jail and sticking a stamp upside down was tantamount to treason?"

The Statute clarified the powers of Canada’s Parliament and other Dominions (ex. Australia, New Zealand, etc.). It also granted full legal freedom, except those that chose to stay subordinate. Some of the most important points in this statute were: Britain could no longer nullify laws of other Dominions Dominions could make their own extra-territorial laws British law no longer applied to all Dominions Canada could make laws except those that directly amended the British North America Act This is a link to the selected text in the Statute of Westminster Reasons: There were several reasons why this Statute was created. Before that Britain had ill-defined powers and overriding authority. For example in the First World War Canada had no choice but to join the war despite the small number of military personnel and equipment. However because of this war Canadians proved themselves to be courageous and excellent soldiers, and loyal friends. Not only Canada realized that it already acts like a nation but other countries as well; Canada gained more international recognition and status. Unfortunately Canada did not “completely” become independent because of two major issues: Provincial and the federal governments could not agree on a method for amending the British North America Act."

More importantly, it limited the right to raise money through taxation to Parliament. The English elite had just succeeded in ousting the Catholic King James, who had offended the protestant Church of England by aggressively promoting the Roman Catholic religion, in spite of laws that Parliament had passed. William III (of Orange, pictured below) and his wife Mary were crowned King and Queen of England (Mary was actually the daughter of the deposed King James II) in Westminster Abbey on April 11, 1689. As part of their oaths, the new King William III and Queen Mary were required to swear that they would obey the laws of Parliament, a significant move from the rule of man to rule of law. At this time, the Bill of Rights was read to both William and Mary. \"\" We thankfully accept what you have offered us,\"\" William replied, agreeing to be subject to law and to be guided in his actions by the decisions of Parliament. The Bill was formally passed through Parliament after the coronation. On December 16, 1689, the King and Queen gave it Royal Assent which represented the end of the concept of divine right of kings (see an image of the 1689 statute in the Law Gallery ). The Bill of Rights was designed to control the power of kings and queens and to make them subject to laws passed by Parliament."

Fourteen of the nations are former British self-governing colonies (including the Dominions) that became independent countries either after the ratification of the Statute of Westminster in 1931, the collapse of the Federation of the West Indies in 1961, or at later dates, the latest being Saint Kitts and Nevis in 1983.

Any authority can claim ETJ over any external territory they wish. However, for the claim to be effective in the external territory (except by the exercise of force), it must be agreed either with the legal authority in the external territory, or with a legal authority which covers both territories. When unqualified, ETJ usually refers to such an agreed jurisdiction, or it will be called something like \"\"claimed ETJ\"\". The phrase may also refer to a country's laws extending beyond its boundaries in the sense that they may authorise the courts of that country to enforce their jurisdiction against parties appearing before them in with respect to acts they allegedly engaged in outside that country. This does not depend on the co-operation of other countries, since the affected people are within the relevant country (or at least, in a case involving a person being tried in absentia, the case is being heard by a court of that country). For example, many countries have laws which give their criminal courts jurisdiction to try prosecutions for piracy or terrorism committed outside their national boundaries. Sometimes such laws only apply to nationals of that country, and sometimes they may apply to anyone.

"text": "LAW, COLONIAL SYSTEMS OF, BRITISH EMPIREBritish colonial expansion brought the administration of English common and statutory law to the newly acquired territories in America, Asia, Africa, and the Pacific. Common law had been developing in England since the twelfth century, and denominated a body of mostly unlegislated law founded on custom and precedent. Due to its centuries-long evolution, common law proved to be a stable and slow-to-change legal system. It formed the basis of jurisdiction in all three types of direct colonial holdings. Common law formed the basis of British jurisdiction in the trading posts along the Indian Ocean coast. British settlers brought it to the settlement colonies of North America, South Africa, and Australia. And it became the legal fundament of all British colonies of domination in Asia and in Africa. Nevertheless, British administrators in all three types of colonies soon recognized the need to adapt their imported law according to local circumstances, and they amended English common and statutory law with colonial statutes in response to specific colonial situations. Until the passing of the Colonial Laws Validity Act in 1865, such colonial laws were valid only if they were in no aspect “repugnant”—that is, contradictory—to the laws of the home country. Although often criticized for manifesting the principle of “nonrepugnancy,” the Colonial Laws Validity Act recognized the validity of colonial legislation and declared “repugnant” laws invalid only to the extent of their conflict with British law (whereas such laws had been invalid in total before)."

As of 2017, there are sixteen Commonwealth realms: Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Canada, Grenada, Jamaica, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, and the United Kingdom. The Statute of Westminster 1931 provided for the then Dominions —named therein as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Union of South Africa, the Irish Free State, and Newfoundland —to have full legislative independence as equal members of the British Commonwealth of Nations, having, together with the United Kingdom, one person as the sovereign of each. Subsequently, India and Pakistan (both in 1947) and Ceylon (in 1948) became Dominions. By the early 1950s, in order to reflect the equality between the countries in that group, each (including the United Kingdom, but not the former Irish Free State and India, which had by that time become republics) came to be known as a realm. The word was formally used in Britain's proclamation of Elizabeth II as queen in 1952 and was adopted for the modern royal styles and titles under the legislation enacted by the individual countries.

He gained recognition as one of the prime architects of the modern sugar industry. Techniques developed by Rillieux are now commonly used in the reduction or concentration of saturated liquids into super-saturated liquids, high density solids, or dry granules. Rillieux's invention has been adopted for the production of any number of solids and reduced liquids whose products are sensitive to heat. The manufacture of such commodities as condensed milk, soaps, gelatins and glues, the recovery of waste liquids in distilleries and paper-making factories, and the processing and production of petrochemicals all have used Rillieux's basic invention, or devices that are based on his process. Early Years and Education Norbert Rillieux was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on March 17, 1806. His parents were Vincent Rillieux, a white man, and Constance Vivant, a freed black slave. Vincent Rillieux was a successful engineer and inventor, who recognized the talent of his son at an early age and sent him to Paris for his education. By 1830, Rillieux was an instructor in applied mechanics at L'Ecole Centrale in Paris, and had published a series of papers on steam engines and the economies of steam generation. P. Horsin-Deon, a French sugar technologist, engineer, and secretary to Rillieux, reported that Rillieux had developed the theory of the multiple-effect evaporator at this time."

In fact, steam hadn't been used for drilling in the earlier salt well days until perhaps the 1840's (Brantly, 1971) and probably not much even then because the spring pole and the treadle were the main devices in use. The 19th century was driven by steam. The oil industry's need for steam power in the 1860's wasn't based solely on drilling or pumping oil wells but also for refineries and even for river vessels that transported oil and products from Oil Creek to Pittsburgh and returned with oilfield supplies. Steam locomotives of various railroads were bringing trains to the oil region and hauling away oil and refined product in wooden tanks mounted on flat cars beginning 1865 (and oil in barrels before that). Pipelines commenced to use steam pumps in 1865. Steam hammers made some of the fittings and parts of the drilling paraphernalia. Even some of the coins in circulation in Drake's day were stamped at the mint by an automated steam press. Appropriately the first use of steam power in oil well drilling in America was by Edwin L. Drake in his famous 1859 well near Titusville. Drake and his driller, Billy Smith, installed a 6 HP Long John engine and a stationary boiler in what became the engine house of the Drake cable-tool drilling operation."

"text": "\"TWO CENTURIES OF REVOLTIONARY CHANGECustom Search The Industrial Revolution Iron and Steel Manufacture The development of the railway stimulated the economy in two important ways. First, the advent of cheap and efficient transport lowered the carriage cost of goods. This meant that goods were cheaper in the shops and this increased the demand. The increase in demand led to the expansion of factories which required more energy. The prime energy source at the time was coal. As the Industrial Revolution began to speed up, the need for coal grew because it provided power for the factory engines, steam powered ships and steam locomotives. Second, the demand for iron increased. Iron was needed to make the railway tracks, steam locomotives and the giant Watt steam engines that pumped the mines and provided energy to run factory machinery. At a later stage, iron was needed to construct the steamships. The developers of the early steam engines and steam railways would never have been so successful without parallel developments taking place in the iron industry."

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

A steam locomotive is a type of railway locomotive that produces its pulling power through a steam engine. These locomotives are fueled by burning combustible material – usually coal, wood, or oil – to produce steam in a boiler. The steam moves reciprocating pistons which are mechanically connected to the locomotive's main wheels (drivers). Both fuel and water supplies are carried with the locomotive, either on the locomotive itself or in wagons (tenders) pulled behind. Steam locomotives were first developed in Great Britain during the early 19th century and used for railway transport until the middle of the 20th century. The first steam locomotive, made by Richard Trevithick, first operated on 21 February 1804, three years after the road locomotive he made in 1801.

In 1698, English military engineer, Thomas Savery, invented and patented the first crude steam engine, based on Denis Papin's Digester (pressure cooker) of 1679. English blacksmith Thomas Newcomen improved on Savery's invention, designing and building the atmospheric steam engine, with the help of John Calley, in 1712. Steam engines continued to be improved upon by others in the ensuing centuries. Karl Benz started Benz & Company in 1883 in Mannheim to produce industrial engines. There, he invented and patented the two-stroke engine. Gottlieb Daimler later inspired Benz to develop a four-stroke engine suitable for powering a four-wheeled horseless carriage.

From Englishman Thomas Newcomen 's atmospheric engine, of 1712, through major developments by Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer James Watt, the steam engine began to be used in many industrial settings, not just in mining, where the first engines had been used to pump water from deep workings. Early mills had run successfully with water power, but by using a steam engine a factory could be located anywhere, not just close to water. Water power varied with the seasons and was not always available. In 1775 Watt formed an engine-building and engineering partnership with manufacturer Matthew Boulton. The partnership of Boulton & Watt became one of the most important businesses of the Industrial Revolution and served as a kind of creative technical centre for much of the British economy. The partners solved technical problems and spread the solutions to other companies. Similar firms did the same thing in other industries and were especially important in the machine tool industry. These interactions between companies were important because they reduced the amount of research time and expense that each business had to spend working with its own resources. The technological advances of the Industrial Revolution happened more quickly because firms often shared information, which they then could use to create new techniques or products."

In the midst of this ineffably strong mechanism is a chair where the engineer sits reading his newspaper, as in a peaceful bower. Now and then he lays down his paper and clambers up one of the stairways that cover the framework, and touches some irritated spot on the giant's body with a drop of oil, and goes down again and takes up his newspaper; he is like some potent enchanter there, and this prodigious Afreet is his slave who could crush him past all semblance of humanity with his lightest touch. It is, alas! what the Afreet has done to humanity too often, where his strength has superseded men's industry; but of such things the Machinery Hall is no place to speak, and to be honest, one never thinks of such things there. One thinks only of the glorious triumphs of skill and invention; and wherever else the national bird is mute in one's breast, here he cannot fail to utter his pride and content. It would be a barren place without the American machinery. All that Great Britain and Germany have sent is insignificant in amount when compared with our own contributions; the superior elegance, aptness*, and ingenuity of our machinery is observable at a glance. Yes, it is still in these things of iron and steel that the national genius most freely speaks; by and by the inspired marbles, the breathing canvases, the great literature; for the present America is voluble in the strong metals and their infinite uses.\"\" -"

Nasser’s announcement came about following months of mounting political tensions between Egypt, Britain, and France. Although Nasser offered full economic compensation for the Company, the British and French Governments, long suspicious of Nasser’s opposition to the continuation of their political influence in the region, were outraged by the nationalization. The Egyptian leader, in turn, resented what he saw as European efforts to perpetuate their colonial domination. Nine members of United Nations Security Council signify support of the resolution endorsing operation of the Suez Canal on Oct. 14, 1956. ( AP Photo/Tom Fitzsimmons)The Eisenhower administration, worried by the prospect of the outbreak of hostilities between its NATO allies and an emergent, influential Middle Eastern power (and the possible intervention of the Soviet Union in such a conflict), attempted to broker a diplomatic settlement of the British-French-Egyptian dispute. On September 9, U. S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles proposed the creation of a Suez Canal Users’ Association (SCUA), an international consortium of 18 of the world’s leading maritime nations, to operate the Canal. Although SCUA would have given Britain, France, and Egypt an equal stake in the Canal, this, and various other U. S. and international mediation efforts failed to win the full support of any of the contending powers. In discussions with the United States between August and October, the British Government repeatedly hinted that it might resort to force in dealing with Nasser. At the same time, the British and French held secret military consultations with Israel, who regarded Nasser as a threat to its security, resulting in the creation of a joint plan to invade Egypt and overthrow its President."

Was Great Britain forced out by the colonial peoples themselves, was she encouraged to leave by the United States or the United Nations, did economic decline make withdrawal almost inevitable, or did the British people lose the 'will to empire'?

"text": "Print Cite On November 17, 1869, the Suez Canal connecting the Mediterranean and Red Seas was officially opened in a lavish ceremony at Egypt’s Port Said. The canal took more than 15 years to plan and build, and its construction was repeatedly hindered by political disputes, labor shortages and even a deadly cholera outbreak. When finally completed, the 101-mile-long waterway permanently transformed international shipping by allowing vessels to skip the long and treacherous transit around the southern tip of Africa. On the anniversary of its opening, check out nine surprising facts about the canal that links the Eastern and Western worlds.1. Its origins date back to ancient Egypt. The modern Suez Canal is only the most recent of several manmade waterways that once snaked their way across Egypt. The Egyptian Pharaoh Senusret III may have built an early canal connecting the Red Sea and the Nile River around 1850 B. C., and according to ancient sources, the Pharaoh Necho II and the Persian conqueror Darius both began and then abandoned work on a similar project. The canal was supposedly finished in the 3rd century B. C. during the Ptolemaic Dynasty, and many historical figures including Cleopatra may have traveled on it. Rather than the direct link offered by the modern Suez Canal, this ancient “Canal of the Pharaohs” would have wound its way the through the desert to the Nile River, which was then used to access the Mediterranean.2. Napoleon Bonaparte considered building it."

Photograph by Shawn Baldwin — Bloomberg via Getty Images By Cyrus Sanati August 7, 2015The Egyptian government wants you to know that it is, finally, re-open for business. Four years after the Arab Spring destabilized this country of 90 million, Egypt’s new leaders hope that Thursday’s grand opening of the New Suez Canal (as they’ve dubbed it) will serve as a tangible symbol of the country’s resurrection from political chaos. But while the innovative financing and the speedy construction of the new canal were impressive, Egypt still has a great deal of work to do if it wants western investors and tourists to come back. The sweltering heat didn’t deter Egyptians from hitting the streets in droves on Thursday to celebrate the grand opening of the New Suez Canal. While it helped that the country’s new leader, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, declared the day a national holiday, there was, nonetheless, a true sense of excitement and joy amongst Cairo’s 20 million people in response to the opening of the new 30-mile waterway. The city was painted in Egypt’s national colors of red, white, and black—harking back to the days when Arab nationalism was strong and Islamic fundamentalism was in its infancy. The celebration at the canal was lavish, with jet fighter flybys, singing children, ceremonial ship crossings, and colorful firework displays. French President François Hollande was in attendance, as was Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, King Abdullah of Jordan, the king of Bahrain and the emir of Kuwait. U. S. Secretary of State John Kerry was not in attendance, but he was in Cairo earlier in the week, giving what some believe was tacit approval of the project—and of the Egyptian government—by the Obama Administration."

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

"text": "Suez Canal, an artificial waterway running north to south across the Isthmus of Suez in northeastern Egypt; it connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Gulf of Suez, an arm of the Red Sea. The canal, about 163 km (about 101 miles) long, has no locks because the Mediterranean Sea and the Gulf of Suez have roughly the same water level. Most of the canal has only a single traffic lane, with several passing bays. The idea of linking the Mediterranean and Red Seas first occurred during the Pharaonic age. Pharaohs were pioneers in this sphere, they dug a canal linking both Seas through the eastern branch of the Nile Delta. Later the canal was neglected until the Greeks, followed by the Romans dug it several times but it was again neglected. The canal was dug once again at the time of the Arab conquest of Egypt. It continued to exist for scores of years but was later filled up. During the French campaign of 1798, Napoleon Bonaparte thought of linking the two Seas directly by means of a navigation canal, but engineers did not support the idea that the Red Sea level is nine meters higher than that of the Mediterranean. On November 30, 1854 the French engineer Ferdinand De-lesseps managed to sign a concession with the Egyptian government to dig the Suez Canal."

"text": "Humanities ›Geography Connecting the Red Sea with the Mediterranean Egptian Suez Canal has been center of conflict Share Flipboard Email Print Frederic Neema / Getty Imagesby Amanda Briney Updated January 25, 2018The Suez Canal, located in Egypt, is a 101 mile (163 km) long canal that connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Gulf of Suez, a northern branch of the Red Sea. It officially opened in November 1869. Suez Canal Construction History Although the Suez Canal wasn't officially completed until 1869, there is a long history of interest in connecting both the Nile River in Egypt and the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea. It is believed that the first canal in the area was constructed between the Nile River delta and the Red Sea in the 13th Century B. C. E. During the 1,000 years following its construction, the original canal was neglected and its use finally stopped in the 8th Century. The first modern attempts to build a canal came in the late 1700s when Napoleon Bonaparte conducted an expedition to Egypt. He believed that building a French-controlled canal on the Isthmus of Suez would cause trade problems for the British as they would either have to pay dues to France or continue sending goods over land or around the southern part of Africa. Studies for Napoleon's canal plan began in 1799 but a miscalculation in measurement showed the sea levels between the Mediterranean and the Red Seas as being too different for a canal to be feasible and construction immediately stopped. The next attempt to build a canal in the area occurred in the mid-1800s when a French diplomat and engineer, Ferdinand de Lesseps, convinced the Egyptian viceroy Said Pasha to support the building of a canal. In 1858, the Universal Suez Ship Canal Company was formed and given the right to begin construction of the canal and operate it for 99 years, after which time, the Egyptian government would take over control of the canal. At its founding, the Universal Suez Ship Canal Company was owned by French and Egyptian interests."

Robert Anthony Eden, 1st Earl of Avon, KG, MC, PC (12 June 1897 – 14 January 1977), was a British Conservative politician who served three periods as Foreign Secretary and then a relatively brief term as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1955 to 1957. Achieving rapid promotion as a young Member of Parliament, he became Foreign Secretary aged 38, before resigning in protest at Neville Chamberlain 's appeasement policy towards Mussolini 's Italy. [ 2] [3] He again held that position for most of the Second World War, and a third time in the early 1950s. Having been deputy to Winston Churchill for almost 15 years, he succeeded him as the Leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister in April 1955, and a month later won a general election. Eden's worldwide reputation as an opponent of appeasement, a \"\"man of peace\"\", and a skilled diplomat was overshadowed in 1956 when the United States refused to support the Anglo-French military response to the Suez Crisis, which critics across party lines regarded as an historic setback for British foreign policy, signalling the end of British predominance in the Middle East.

"text": "\"The Suez Canal The idea of connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea is as old as the pharaohs. The first canal in the region seems to have been dug about 1850 BCE, but that attempt, like many others, failed. Desert winds blew in and clogged the canal. About 150 years ago, Great Britain had a thriving trade with India, but without a canal, British ships had to make a long journey around the entire continent of Africa in order to trade with India. A canal through the Isthmus of Suez would cut the journey from Great Britain to India by 6,000 miles. An isthmus is a narrow strip of land connecting two larger pieces of land. A French company led by Ferdinand de Lesseps made a deal with Egypt to build the Suez Canal. After ten years of work, the canal opened in 1869. The Egyptian ruler, Ismail, celebrated the opening of the Suez Canal by building a huge palace in Cairo. Ismail treated royalty from around the world to a celebration in honor of the new canal."

His Presidency was filled with the conflict of desegregation and the change in the treatment of African Americans. Once the Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka came up in 1954, segregated schools were now integrated, allowing for both blacks and whites to attend the same public schools. Then in 1957, the first satellite made by man named Sputnik, was launched into orbit by the Soviet Union before the United States. The Soviets also beat the United States in sending animals into orbit, taking pictures of the moon, putting satellites in the moons orbit, and then the first to send man to space. Resulting from this, 6 months later, the United States then acted quickly to send the satellite, Explorer one, into orbit. The United States still did not feel equal to the Soviet Union until Neil Armstrong was stepped on the moon. Major Foreign Policy: Eisenhower's presidency consisted mostly of the push for world peace. One fear was the effects of the Domino Theory, which was when one country would fall under the leadership of Communism, and then the surrounding countries would also fall under Communist leadership, leading to the entire continent of Asia being Communist."

Pharaonic Egypt thrived for some 3,000 years through a series of native dynasties that were interspersed with brief periods of foreign rule. After Alexander the Great conquered the region in 323 bc, urban Egypt became an integral part of the Hellenistic world. Under the Greek Ptolemaic dynasty, an advanced literate society thrived in the city of Alexandria, but what is now Egypt was conquered by the Romans in 30 bc.

Pyramids dating from the 3rd millennium bc, Giza plateau near Cairo. © Digital Vision/Getty Images Until the Muslim conquest, great continuity had typified Egyptian rural life. Despite the incongruent ethnicity of successive ruling groups and the cosmopolitan nature of Egypt’s larger urban centres, the language and culture of the rural, agrarian masses—whose lives were largely measured by the annual rise and fall of the Nile River, with its annual inundation—had changed only marginally throughout the centuries. Following the conquests, both urban and rural culture began to adopt elements of Arab culture, and an Arabic vernacular eventually replaced the Egyptian language as the common means of spoken discourse."

It followed a series of postwar strikes, which pro-business Republicans and Conservative Democrats wished to respond to. It permitted states to enact right-to-work laws that outlawed closed shops, where workers were forced to join a union.

"text": "\"Fall 2007By What Authority The Case Against Judicial Review Building a strong basis for our legal system By David Cobb Introduction\"\"Judicial Review\"\" is not a term familiar to most Americans, but it should be. The concept is a profoundly important operational underpinning of the United States legal system. Anyone working to make this country a more peaceful, just, ecologically sustainable, and democratic place should be eager to examine this basic doctrine. In a nutshell, judicial review is the power of a court to review the actions of executive or legislative bodies to determine whether the action is consistent with a statute, a treaty or the U. S. Constitution. In its most basic expression, it is the authority of the unelected Supreme Court to declare acts of elected members of Congress or the elected President unconstitutional. ( Of course, the current occupant of the White House was never elected, but rather installed in what can only be described as a judicial coup d'etat). It is important to recognize that there is absolutely no explicit reference to the concept of judicial review in the Constitution itself. Proponents of judicial review merely infer that power from Article III of the Constitution which states: \"\"The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court... and shall extend to all Cases... arising under this Constitution...\"\"The inference that this flimsy language somehow grants our Supreme Court the power to define the parameters of the Constitution seems tenuous at best and may come close to contradicting the specific language of that document. Specifically, the Tenth Amendment states: \"\"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved for the States respectively, or to the people.\"\" Additionally, why is it that if the Court has the legitimate authority to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional, that power was used so sparingly in the early decades of the country's history?"

"text": "Taft Hartley Act Share TAFT HARTLEY ACT TEXTWhat is the Taft-Hartley Act? The 1947 Taft-Hartley Act was passed as an amendment to the 1935 National Labor Relations Act with the intention of halting some of the rights given to unions to strike and imposing limitations on the union leaders. This legislation was in response to an increased number of strikes in the years after World War II and the growing threat of industrial competition with the Soviet Union. The Taft-Hartley Act provided for long term changes in the way unions operate and strike and most provisions are still in effect today. Specifically, the Taft Hartley Act, Located in Title 29 Chapter 7 Subchapter I states:“Industrial strife which interferes with the normal flow of commerce and with the full production of articles and commodities for commerce, can be avoided or substantially minimized if employers, employees, and labor organizations each recognize under law one another’s legitimate rights in their relations with each other, and above all recognize under law that neither party has any right in its relations with any other to engage in acts or practices which jeopardize the public health, safety, or interest. ”What was banned under the Taft Hartley Act? So as to comply with new provisions to prevent stoppages to the flow of commerce, certain types of strikes were outlawed, such as “wildcat striking” which was striking without union approval. Additionally, “closed shop” workplaces that mandated that all employees join a union were made illegal. Therefore, an employer may hire non-union employees at his or her discretion and that employee may never opt to join the union. Technically, this is under the discretion of the worker and not subject to intimidation or the decisions of outside parties, although this is not always the case."

Beginning in the 1930s, unions became important components of the Democratic Party. However, some historians have not understood why no Labor Party emerged in the United States, in contrast to Western Europe. [ 1]The nature and power of organized labor is the outcome of historical tensions among counter-acting forces involving workplace rights, wages, working hours, political expression, labor laws, and other working conditions. Organized unions and their umbrella labor federations such as the AFL–CIO and citywide federations have competed, evolved, merged, and split against a backdrop of changing values and priorities, and periodic federal government intervention. As commentator E. J. Dionne has noted, the union movement has traditionally espoused a set of values—solidarity being the most important, the sense that each should look out for the interests of all. From this followed commitments to mutual assistance, to a rough-and-ready sense of equality, to a disdain for elitism, and to a belief that democracy and individual rights did not stop at the plant gate or the office reception room. Dionne notes that these values are \"\"increasingly foreign to American culture\"\". [ 2] In most industrial nations the labor movement sponsored its own political parties, with the U. S. as a conspicuous exception. Both major American parties vied for union votes, with the Democrats usually much more successful."

Last week, prior to the big AFL-CIO convention in Los Angeles, President Obama personally spoke to AFL-CIO chief Richard Trumka, asking him to water down several anti-Obamacare resolutions that union leaders were planning to pass there. Trumka obliged, keeping calls to repeal Obamacare out of the official AFL-CIO resolution on the health law. Then, on Friday evening, after the convention was over, the Obama administration revealed that it would ignore unions’ demands to subsidize their members using Obamacare. As a result, some unions fear that they will wither away. “ I guarantee you by your next convention four years from now, you won’t meet a quarter of this room,” said Joseph Nigro, president of the Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Union. “ We won’t be here."

With our constitutional rights shredded by our employers, our modern day rights to organize into unions are also ignored by bosses. Our freedom to be protected from unreasonable searches and seizures ends at the gate or front door. Our freedoms of speech and assembly are virtually nonexistent while at work — unless you have a union. The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), passed in 1935, was the closest that labor would get to a “bill of rights.” This was immediately attacked by the employers through their legislatures and courts. The NLRA provided labor the right to organize, to bargain, and to strike without interference from the employer. For the first time employers were required to recognize and bargain with a union of the workers choice. In response to labor’s growing strength, a reactionary Congress amended the NLRA with the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947. This restricted the ability of organized labor to organize and deal effectively with the problems that labor faced."

"text": "Click here to download a PDF of this policy brief which includes sources and citations. Key Findings Studies show that states with right-to-work laws attract more new business than states without such laws and also typically have a better business climate than non-right-to-work states. Once cost of living is accounted for, workers in right-to-work states enjoy higher real, spendable income than workers in non-right-to-work states. Federal law does not require unions to represent non-members; unions are only required to represent every worker if they choose to invoke federal law giving them “exclusive bargaining representation. ”Union membership has been declining nationally for three decades. Public support for labor unions appears to be fading. Right-to-work laws do not ban unions or prevent them from serving the interests of their members. Rather, right-to-work laws require unions to give workers a choice about financially supporting those efforts. Recent decisions by the U. S. Supreme Court in Harris v. Quinn and Knox v. SEIU indicate the Court may be willing to overturn a previous decision ( Abood) that requires government employees to pay union dues or agency fees, even if they do not want union representation. Such a ruling would likely lead to the same rights for private sector workers."

"text": "Republican Party’s Shift to the Right – Part 2August 31, 2013 by politspectator Leave a comment As previously reported, the Republican Party once embraced a broad variety of political positions; it contained both conservative and moderate wings. During the 1950s the moderate faction held the reins of power with Dwight D. Eisenhower serving as one of the most popular presidents of all time. But with the rise of the New Right in the 1960s the moderates came under increasing attack. In recent years the moderate wing of the Republican Party has all but disappeared. Geoffrey Kabaservice traces these developments in his recent book, Rule and Ruin: The Downfall of Moderation and the Destruction of the Republican Party, From Eisenhower to the Tea Party (Oxford University Press, 2012). In the opening chapter Kabaservice describes how the Republican Party used to represent a broad coalition of differing political views. He amplifies this discussion in a recent interview with Sagar Jethani for Policy Mic. In 1960 there were four main factions within the Republican Party: the conservatives, the moderates, the progressives, and a new upstart faction known as the New Right.1. The Conservatives The largest political faction, long forgotten now, was known as the “Tafties.” It was largely concentrated in the mid-West and reflected the traditional conservative values of Middle America."

Reversing years of federal opposition to organized labor, the statute guaranteed the right of employees to organize, form unions, and bargain collectively with their employers. It assured that workers would have a choice on whether to belong to a union or not, and promoted collective bargaining as the major way to insure peaceful industry-labor relations. The act also created a new National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to arbitrate deadlocked labor-management disputes, guarantee democratic union elections, and penalize unfair labor practices by employers. The law applied to all employers involved in interstate commerce other than airlines, railroads, agriculture, and government. The act contributed to a dramatic surge in union membership and made labor a force to be reckoned with both politically and economically. Women benefitted from this shift as well, and, by the end of the 1930s, 800,000 women belonged to unions, a threefold increase over 1929.

Its main purpose was to establish the legal right of most workers (notably excepting agricultural and domestic workers) to organize or join labour unions and to bargain collectively with their employers.labour unions: Robert Wagner; National Labor Relations Board In this historic speech, Sen. Robert Wagner outlined his vision for the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Sponsored by Democratic Sen. Robert F. Wagner of New York, the Wagner Act established the federal government as the regulator and ultimate arbiter of labour relations. It set up a permanent three-member (later five-member) National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) with the power to hear and resolve labour disputes through quasi-judicial proceedings. Specifically, the NLRB was empowered to decide, when petitioned by employees, if an appropriate bargaining unit of employees existed for collective bargaining; to conduct secret-ballot elections in which the employees in a business or industry could decide whether to be represented by labour unions; and to prevent or correct unfair labour practices by employers (later also by unions). The act prohibited employers from engaging in such unfair labour practices as setting up a company union and firing or otherwise discriminating against workers who organized or joined unions. The act also barred employers from refusing to bargain with any such union that had been certified by the NLRB as being the choice of a majority of employees. Fiercely opposed by Republicans and big business, the Wagner Act was challenged in court as a violation of the “freedom of contract” of employers and employees and as an unconstitutional intrusion by the federal government in industries that were not directly engaged in interstate commerce, which Congress was empowered to regulate under the commerce clause (Article I, section 8). The U. S. Supreme Court eventually upheld (5–4) the constitutionality of the Wagner Act in National Labor Relations Board v. Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp. (1937). The Wagner Act was significantly weakened by the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947, passed by a Republican -controlled Congress over the veto of Democratic Pres."

"text": "\"Landrum-Griffin Act Share LANDRUM-GRIFFIN ACT TEXTWhat is the Landrum Griffin Act of 1959? The Landrum Griffin Act; commonly known as The Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act, was a bill signed into law by President Dwight Eisenhower that was enacted to prevent abuse and attempted to regulate internal union affairs; which is found in United States Code 29 U. S. C. subsection 409 et seq. It provides standards for the disclosure and reporting of financial transactions and administrative processes of labor organizations and employers as well as protects union funds and assets; the administration of labor organizations; the rights of union members; and the election of officers to labor organizations. Background Wagner & Taft-Hartley Acts With the passage of the Wagner Act in 1935 employees were guaranteed certain protections including: The prohibition of management to interfere, restrain or coerce employees in their rights of freedom of association, and to form, join, or assist labor organizations, to bargain collectively for wages and working conditions through unions; prohibition of management to interfere with a labor organization; prohibition of discrimination of employees involved in labor organization; prohibition f discrimination against employees that testify against a management for managements anti-union policies; and it prohibited management from refusing to agree or conform to collective bargaining. In 1947 President Truman signed into law the Taft-Hartley Act; which curtailed the power of labor unions. The Taft-Hartley Act prohibited \"\"unfair labor practices\"\" on the part of unions including: jurisdictional strikes, wildcat strikes, secondary boycotts and donations by unions to federal political campaigns and \"\"closed shops.\"\" These were contracts that required an employer to hire only labor union members. In addition the Taft-Hartley Act required union officers to sign a non-communist affidavit. Also included in the Act was a provision that permitted the federal government to \"\"break-up\"\" strikes by obtaining an injunction. This provision of the act was used many times to cease strikes in the steel and railroad industries that would have had a detrimental impact on the national economy."

"text": "\"Symbolism of the Taj Mahal Certainly, the Taj Mahal is stunningly beautiful, but this success owes nothing to chance, the proportion of buildings, their provisions, the choice of materials, none of this is left to chance. Much better: Not only has everything been studied to achieve this success, but the Taj Mahal is full of symbols, starting with the layout of the premises themselves, which is to say the analytical qualities that designers needed to achieve this result. For those who are interested in symbolism in art, especially Muslim art, the symbols of the Taj Mahal are obvious. First, let's look at the studies that have been done on the symbolism of the Taj Mahal. Until the 20th century: A symbol of love Until the middle of the 20th century the Taj Mahal has not really been studied. There are many documents, sometimes real studies on the monument, but none reaches conclusions that would be acceptable today, if we can talk about definitive results in art history. The Taj Mahal The vision that preceded the modern era was that of a Taj Mahal symbolizing love, a symbol that is still widely used today. Indeed, history has left us the explanation for the construction of the Taj Mahal, namely that it is the tomb of Mumtaz Mahal, the 3rd wife of the 5th Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. The latter built \"\"the most beautiful tombs\"\" for his wife died during the delivery of his 14th child. This is a historical fact, it is possible to follow the scene of the death of Mumtaz Mahal, his temporary burial during the construction of the tomb, and his final burial on the spot."

"text": "To truly appreciate the Taj Mahal and encapsulate its various moods, we suggest that you spend at least one full day in Agra and view this dream in m arble at different times of the day - for the Taj transforms its character with the changing light. The precision and care which went into Taj Mahal's design and construction is just as impressive whether you view it from across the river or from arm's length. Best time of the day: Dawn is a magical time when it's virtually deserted and the first rays of the sun light up the Taj. In the afternoon, the Taj is a dazzling spectacle in white, and in the evening the Taj dons the orange glow of the setting sun. Of course, there's nothing more romantic than beholding the Taj on a full-moon night. Taj Mahal in the Morning The glory of the monument is strangely undiminished by the crowds of tourists who visit each day, as small and insignificant as ants in the face of this immense and captivating monument. That said, the Taj is at its most alluring in the relative quiet of early morning, shrouded in mists and bathed with a soft red glow. As its vast marble surfaces fall into shadow or reflect the sun, its colour changes, from soft grey and yellow to pearly cream and dazzling white; it's well worth visiting at different times. This play of light is an important decorative device, symbolically implying the presence of Allah, who is never represented in anthropomorphic form. Beauty of Taj Mahal during Day The Taj Mahal shows a different aspect of beauty at different times of the day."

Sixteen-year-old, Prince Khurram, as he was then called, flitted around the royal bazaar, flirting with the girls from high-ranking families that staffed the booths.

On either side of main arch, additional pishtaqs are stacked above and below. This motif of stacked pishtaqs is replicated on chamfered corner areas as well.

Many sources describe it as \"\"Sa Prathama Sanskrati Vishvavara\"\" — the first and the supreme culture in the world, according to the All World Gayatri Pariwar (AWGP) organization. Map of India Credit: pavalena Shutterstock Western societies did not always see the culture of India very favorably, according to Christina De Rossi, an anthropologist at Barnet and Southgate College in London. Early anthropologists once considered culture as an evolutionary process, and \"\"every aspect of human development was seen as driven by evolution,\"\" she told Live Science. \"\" In this view, societies outside of Europe or North America, or societies that did not follow the European or Western way of life, were considered primitive and culturally inferior. Essentially this included all the colonized countries and people, such as African countries, India, and the Far East. \"\" However, Indians made significant advances in architecture ( Taj Mahal ), mathematics ( the invention of zero) and medicine ( Ayurveda ). Today, India is a very diverse country, with more than 1.2 billion people, according to the CIA World Factbook, making it the second most populous nation after China. Different regions have their own distinct cultures. Language, religion, food and the arts are just some of the various aspects of Indian culture."

"text": "Summary: Chapter 1Whatever he had learned of himself was here of no avail. He was an unknown quantity. ( See Important Quotations Explained)On a cold, foggy morning, an army wakes on the banks of a river. A tall soldier named Jim Conklin begins his day by washing his shirt, and rushes back to camp to report a rumor he has overheard: the regiment will move into battle the next day. As the men in this particular squad have yet to face any military action, Jim’s words provoke much excitement and debate. One private loudly declares Conklin a liar, and a corporal complains that he would not have made costly renovations to his house if he had known he would be called to leave it. Henry Fleming, a young private, listens attentively to the arguments, then retreats to his bunk to collect his thoughts. Having dreamed of the glory and valor of battle since childhood, Henry cannot believe that he may find himself in the heat of combat the very next day. He wonders if soldiers in his regiment can possibly achieve the same glory that the ancient Greek war heroes did. He believes that religion, education, and common household concerns have tamed men, sapping them of “the throat-grappling instinct,” but that, in battle, they can still prove themselves worthy."

"text": "Brandon Li, I have enough of an education to know how to use Google and the library Answered Jun 15, 2015 · Author has 1.3k answers and 11.4m answer views Silly answer: China by several landslides All of Italy has a police force of 340,00, most of whom are obviously outside of Rome. The largest weapons they typically carry is an SMG. Meanwhile, China has an armed forces with over 2 million active soldiers who have access to tanks, helicopters, jets, ballistic missiles, and nuclear weapons. Rome's finest The answer you wanted: Very hard to tell Each force, Han China and Imperial Rome specialized in different situations. The Romans concentrated on fighting large disorganized infantry forces and supplemented their armies withauxiliato help them in other roles such as combat against nomadic forces. Meanwhile, the later Han military was almost exclusively focused on combating steppe nomads such as the Xiongnu, which gave them less of an emphasis on heavy infantry and more on missile (ranged) troops who were usually armed with crossbows superior to any that the Romans had access to en masse. The difference in army sizes would not be nearly as large as you think. First of all, no one knows for certain whether the Han or Roman empires had a larger population. Specifically relating to armies, Chinese record keepers dramatized their records a lot and rounded casualties to the nearest hundred thousand which says something about how reliable they were. Europeans often did the same but historians have analyzed European battles to death, revising down the numbers of soldiers to more probably numbers, something that has not been done in Chinese history."

( Library of Congress)‘As preparations for a British attack proceeded, the three-story-tall flag waved atop the 90-foot flagpole at Fort Mc Henry, its bold red, white and blue geometry unmistakable’Major General Samuel Smith was resolute. Two mistakes made in Washington would not be repeated in his city. First, as commander of Baltimore’s militia, he would put in place an effective defense. Second, having been given the job by Baltimore’s Committee of Vigilance and Safety, he would not under any circumstances relinquish that command—especially to the man in charge of the 10th Military District. Brig. Gen. William Winder was now a two-time loser, with his failure to defend the capital added to his earlier Canadian surrender at Stoney Creek. As a U. S. senator, a veteran of the Revolution (he had risen to the rank of lieutenant colonel) and a Marylander, Smith intended to make sure the British did not capture Baltimore on his watch. The intervention of Secretary of War James Monroe had been required to quiet the outraged Winder, but since taking full command of the city defenses on August 26, Smith had worked to put Baltimore’s strategic advantages to good use. The burgeoning metropolis had grown into the nation’s third-largest city after New York and Philadelphia."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For the film, see The Red Badge of Courage (film). First edition cover of The Red Badge of Courage (1895)The Red Badge of Courage is a war novel by American author Stephen Crane (1871–1900). Taking place during the American Civil War, the story is about a young private of the Union Army, Henry Fleming, who flees from the field of battle. Overcome with shame, he longs for a wound, a \"\"red badge of courage,\"\" to counteract his cowardice. When his regiment once again faces the enemy, Henry acts as standard-bearer, who carries a flag. Although Crane was born after the war, and had not at the time experienced battle first-hand, the novel is known for its realism. He began writing what would become his second novel in 1894, using various contemporary and written accounts (such as those published previously by Century Magazine) as inspiration. It is believed that he based the fictional battle on that of Chancellorsville; he may also have interviewed veterans of the 124th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment, commonly known as the Orange Blossoms. Initially shortened and serialized in newspapers in December 1894, the novel was published in full in October 1895. A longer version of the work, based on Crane's original manuscript, was published in 1983."

The battle was conspicuous for the large number of illustrious personalities among its combatants. These included Tennessee congressman David Crockett, entrepreneur-adventurer James Bowie, and Mexican president Antonio López de Santa Anna. Although not nationally famous at the time, William Barret Travis achieved lasting distinction as commander at the Alamo. For many Americans and most Texans, the battle has become a symbol of patriotic sacrifice. Traditional popular depictions, including novels, stage plays, and motion pictures, emphasize legendary aspects that often obscure the historical event.

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

He comes upon a column of wounded men stumbling along a road, and notices one spectral soldier with a vacant gaze. Henry joins the column and a soldier with a bloody head and a dangling arm begins to talk to him. Henry tries to avoid this tattered man, but the wounded soldier continues to talk about the courage and fortitude of the army, exuding pride that his regiment did not flee from the fighting. He asks Henry where he has been wounded, and Henry hurries away in a panic. Summary: Chapter IXHenry falls back in the procession to avoid the tattered man. As he observes the wounded soldiers around him, he becomes envious of their injuries; he considers a wound proof of valor—a “red badge of courage”—and wishes that he had one. He walks by the spectral soldier that he noticed earlier, a gray man staring blankly into “the unknown.” Henry suddenly realizes the man’s identity and cries out: “Gawd!"

Additional English Flashcards Cards Term\"\"The Raven\"\"Definition Author: EA Poe Genre: poem First published in the (New York) Evening Mirror in January, 1845, \"\"The Raven\"\" was an overnight sensation and remains the most popular and best known poem that Poe ever wrote. In fact, during the final years of his life, Poe was referred to as \"\"the raven\"\" and his readers often wove short passages of the piece or a simple \"\"nevermore\"\" into their daily talk. The poem is essentially a dramatic monologue; it tells a story that has no real climax but that nonetheless progresses through stages marked by changes in the narrator's mood as he successively interprets the raven's presence and the meaning of its \"\"nevermore\"\" replies. Consisting of eighteen six-line stanzas, \"\"The Raven\"\" is told retrospectively by a first-person narrator. The setting throughout is the narrator's chambers at midnight on a bleak December, as the speaker or student lapses between reading an old book and falling asleep. He is aroused by a tapping sound that he presumes to be made by a visitor outside of his room. He does not immediately answer, but tells us that he is in a sorrowful mood because of the death of his lover, the \"\"lost Lenore.\"\""

Background See also main article on The Moro The 1st Canadian Infantry Division relieved the British 78th Division on the Adriatic coast of Italy at the start of December 1943. The Canadians had landed on the Italian mainland in September to find the Germans had retreated well to the north. A change of government in Rome, and official Italian capitulation, did not result in peace. German forces quickly mobilized throughout Italy, and as the Canadians began their march north on the right flank of the Allied armies, resistance stiffened. The Sangro and Moro The Sangro – Castel di Sangro – The Moro – San Leonardo – The Gully – Casa Berardi – Ortona – San Nicola-San Tommaso – Point 59 / Torre Mucchia The US 5th Army was hung up south of Rome, and it was the intention of the British 8th Army, working up on their right along the east coast of Italy, to come in behind the German defences. Unfortunately, the Sangro River proved to be a serious obstacle. The German 10th Army hoped to anchor their so-called Gustav Line here, and hold on throughout the winter until the spring brought campaigning weather. If the British 78th Division was worn out, so too were their opponents, the inexperienced Infanterie Division 65. They were replaced after their defensive battles on the Sangro by the Leichte Division 90, reconstituted after their destruction in North Africa."

Lieutenant Colonel Hal Moore ( Mel Gibson) has to lead a battalion of 400 American soldiers against a force of 2,000 North Vietnamese troops. Adapted from the 1992 nonfiction book We Were Soldiers Once... and Young, the film is notable in that, unlike most works about the Vietnam War, it portrays both sides sympathetically and nobly. This film provides examples of: Ace Pilot: Major Bruce \"\"Snake Shit\"\" Crandall and his right-hand man, Warrant Officer Ed \"\"Too Tall\"\" Freeman, are UH-1 Huey pilots, who fly in and out of heavily contested landing zones to drop off troops and supplies, and to collect the wounded. In Real Life, both men received the Medal of Honor for their actions during the battle. Acrophobic Bird: Some of the American planes seem to be flying in a lot lower than is strictly necessary for delivering air support. Air-dropped bombs typically have a blast radius measured in hundreds of feet, which especially includes the area directly above where the bomb lands. In Real Life, at least one of the American pilots met his end this way: fragmentation from a bomb dropped below the minimum safe altitude flew back up and hit his plane, causing it to crash. Evidently, his practice of invoking this trope in a transport helicopter is what earned Major Bruce Crandall the nickname \"\"Snake Shit\"\" (“Because I fly lower than snake shit”). Justified in this case, as flying at low altitude and high speed is a popular method of avoiding anti-aircraft fire (known as \"\" Nap-Of-The-Earth \"\")."

These included Tennessee congressman David Crockett, entrepreneur-adventurer James Bowie, and Mexican president Antonio López de Santa Anna. Although not nationally famous at the time, William Barret Travis achieved lasting distinction as commander at the Alamo. For many Americans and most Texans, the battle has become a symbol of patriotic sacrifice.

Rossi Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/B978-008044910-4.00842-7 Get rights and content The article reviews the literature analyzing the theories of growth poles and centers and their policy implementation in the post-war decades. In the section presenting Perroux's theorization and subsequent amendments and developments by other growth poles students, it is showed how growth pole’ theory has appeared as a body of thinking reflecting on the dynamics of industrial location and agglomeration in abstract space and then has been translated into a geographic theory of industrial growth. The article reconsiders the criticism raised by those authors who have highlighted the weaknesses and the internal incoherence of Perrouxian theory and most notably of its geographic versions. After having presented and critically discussed some cases of policy and planning programs that have drawn inspiration from growth pole theory, particularly those of the Italian Mezzogiorno, Spain, the Appalachian Region, and the Latin American countries, the article concludes by speculating on the intellectual legacy of this field of research and regional planning in the light of more recent developments in regional development studies and related policy practices. Author Keywords Appalachian Region; Economic policy; Industrial location; Lagging regions; Latin America; Mezzogiorno; Perroux; Polarization; Propulsive industry; Spain; Spatial planning Introduction It can be argued that the theory of what came to be known as ‘growth poles’ ( pôles de croissance) – a ‘magic label’ or a ‘mythic catchword’ as some commentators put it at the time – symbolized in the 1950s and the 1960s what industrial districts theory and discourse represented in the 1980s and the 1990s: a pathbreaking strand of research and theoretical elaboration, intimately linked to the leading approaches of industrial policy being adopted at the local level, particularly in the disadvantaged regions of both developed and developing countries. It is thereby interesting to look back again to the theory of growth poles and centers and to its translation into a concrete strategy of regional policy, also because it testifies to the ways in which theories and concepts of regional development cyclically appear and disappear within this field of inquiry and its related policy sphere. This circulation of ideas sheds light on the highly historicized and contingent character of regional economic development policies and theories. Regional policies witness the spirit of the times in which they appear and take form and all of them are, in a way or in another, subjected to cycles of rise, consolidation, decline, and then more or less rapid dismissal. While the place where growth pole theories and strategies appeared and gained their academic reputation was France, for industrial districts theory and some other more recent regional development theories and policy recipes this role has been played by Italy and most notably by the Third Italy. In both cases, these theories and the related policy instruments have acquired an influence transcending their respective contexts of origin and have been applied in a growing number of regions in both the developed and developing countries."

"text": "\"The Cold War Home Front: Mc Carthyism by Michael Barnes1. Definition Richard Nixon Joseph Mc Carthy Shortly after WWII a phenomenon known as Mc Carthyism began to emerge in American politics. Mc Carthyism was the practice of investigating and accusing persons in positions of power or influence of disloyalty, subversion (working secretly to undermine or overthrow the government), or treason. Reckless accusations that the government was full of communists were pursued by Republican-led committees with subpoena power and without proper regard for evidence. The two Republicans most closely associated with Mc Carthyism were the phenomenon's namesake, Senator Joseph Mc Carthy, and Senator Richard Nixon, who served as Vice President from 1953-1961,and then President from 1969-1974. Both men were driven by personal insecurities as much as by political gain. Government employees, the entertainment industry, educators, and union activists were the primary targets of Mc Carthyism. Their communist (or leftist) associations were often greatly exaggerated, and they were often dismissed from government jobs or imprisoned with inconclusive, questionable, and sometimes outright fabricated evidence. Most verdicts were later overturned, most dismissals later declared illegal, and some laws used to convict later declared unconstitutional. The most famous examples of Mc Carthyismare the investigation into the leftist influence of the motion picture industry by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), and investigations conducted by Senator Mc Carthy's Senate sub-committee, culminating in 1954 with hearings about subversion within the Army."

"text": "\"The contrasting fates of China and Japan during the 19 th century Introduction In the 19th century Japan and China faced a brand new challenge in the form of the expanding Western imperialist powers. This external pressure prompted these countries to question their traditions and respond to the new challenges. By the end of the epoch Japan emerged as the only non-traditional member of the European-led sovereign state system, whereas China became a stagnant semi-colony of the imperial powers. The different trajectories of these countries remained an important discourse in the past century and now as we have experienced the resurgence of the East Asian nations it is still pivotal to comprehend this important historical era, which may lead us to better understand the recent discourses in the region. Different interpretations have attempted to comprehend various crucial issues that determined the different fates of the countries. Intense disputes emerged about whether the Western imperialist forces had definitive influence on these countries or their inner characteristics determined their actions. Lockwood (1956: 42-43) argues that in an open and structurally pluralistic Japanese a new unprecedented unity was created, whereas the Confucian China with its atomized society lacked collective strength. Moulder (1977: 200) states that China’s incorporation into the imperialist free trade system resulted in the weakening of the imperial state, whereas Japan’s relative autonomy permitted its transformation into a strong national state. Another debate has occurred concerning how the governments should have handled the situation in the era. Some scholars have interpreted this era as the searching for feasible answers to the Western challenge."

Preface to the poem Milton by William Blake A preface ( / ˈ p r ɛ f ɪ s /) or proem ( / ˈ p r oʊ ɛ m /) is an introduction to a book or other literary work written by the work's author. An introductory essay written by a different person is a foreword and precedes an author's preface. The preface often closes with acknowledgments of those who assisted in the literary work. A preface generally covers the story of how the book came into being, or how the idea for the book was developed; this is often followed by thanks and acknowledgments to people who were helpful to the author during the time of writing. A preface is usually signed (and the date and place of writing often follow the typeset signature); a foreword by another person is always signed. Information essential to the main text is generally placed in a set of explanatory notes, or perhaps in an \"\"Introduction\"\" that may be paginated with Arabic numerals, rather than in the preface.

"text": "\"Print E-mail Share Respond Comment: Lee Sustar Mc Carthyism and the civil rights movement Lee Sustar looks at the impact of the 1950s era of reaction on the Black struggle. August 17, 2012BY MOST accounts, the civil rights movement began in 1954, created by the U. S. Supreme Court decision that outlawed racial segregation in the public schools. Yet the anticommunist witch-hunts of the previous years had an enormous negative impact on the struggle. This reality tends to be ignored by those who want to downplay the role of the left in the fight for Black rights--and because of the participation of many \"\"liberal\"\" civil rights leaders in the witch-hunt. In the 1930s, two organizations had been in the forefront of the struggle for Black rights--the Communist Party (CP) and the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO). But after the U. S. entered the war, CIO leaders dropped the anti-racist battle for the sake of \"\"unity\"\" in the war effort. Taking its cue from President Roosevelt's alliance with Stalin's Russia, the CP became the chief enforcer of such pro-war policies within the working-class movement--breaking strikes and attacking as \"\"divisive\"\" the NAACP's demands for nondiscriminatory hiring in defense industries. Rather than press for Black jobs, the CP sought to muster Black organizations for the \"\"defense of the democratic institutions of our country\"\"--by supporting the war. The CP denounced the mild civil rights demands of A. Philip Randolph's planned 1941 March on Washington as \"\"dangerous\"\" and \"\"belligerent.\"\" The party went so far as to accuse Black participants in the 1943 Harlem race riot of playing into the hands of the Nazis."

"text": "Instructor: Adam Richards Adam has a master's degree in history. The fear of communism, known as the Red Scare, led to a national witch hunt for suspected communist supporters, which was known as Mc Carthyism. Learn about the rise of Mc Carthyism and the Red Scare, the impact of Mc Carthyism on American society and the legacy of the short-lived fear campaign. Defining Mc Carthyism and the Red Scare The Red Scare, which gained notoriety during the First World War, represented the widespread concern that Americans had developed over the fear of communist (or anarchist, during the First World War era) subversion within society. Americans believed, especially during the Cold War, which was a period of tension between the United States and Soviet Union, that communism was attempting to infiltrate every aspect of their lives. While this is not necessarily the best analogy, you can relate the widespread fear of communism during the Cold War as being similar to the heightened alert Americans had toward terrorism and suspected terrorists during the beginning of the modern century. Instigating this fear was Joseph Mc Carthy. Mc Carthy was a Republican senator from Wisconsin and was the leader behind the ethos of Mc Carthyism. The term was created in 1950 by Washington Post writer Herbert Block. Simply put, Mc Carthyism was the practice of attempting to minimize the threat of communism by accusing and detaining suspects deemed to be a security threat or disloyal to the United States."

"text": "Nicolás Maduro, in full Nicolás Maduro Moros, (born November 23, 1962, Caracas, Venezuela), Venezuelan politician and labour leader who won the special election held in April 2013 to choose a president to serve out the remainder of the term of Pres. Hugo Chávez, who had died in March. After serving as vice president (October 2012–March 2013), Maduro became the interim president following Chávez’s death. A zealous proponent of chavismo (the political system and ideology established by Chávez), Maduro was the candidate of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela; PSUV) in the special election. Early life and start in politics Maduro grew up in a family of moderate means in Caracas, where his father was engaged in leftist politics and the labour movement. His own early interest in left-wing politics led Maduro to pursue training as an organizer in Cuba rather than a university education. While working as a bus driver in Caracas, he became a representative in the transit workers union and rose through its ranks. When Chávez, then an army officer, was imprisoned in 1992 after leading an unsuccessful coup attempt, Maduro and his future wife, Cilia Flores, then a young lawyer, campaigned for Chávez’s release, which came in 1994. In 1999 Maduro was a member of the National Constituent Assembly that rewrote the constitution that was part of Chávez’s ascent to the presidency. That year Maduro also served in the Chamber of Deputies (the lower house of the Venezuelan legislature), which was eliminated when the legislature became the unicameral National Assembly, in which Maduro began serving in 2000."

"text": "Versailles and Peacemaking By Dr Ruth Henig Last updated 2011-03-10'Should the Treaty of Versailles punish or rehabilitate Germany?' Dr Ruth Henig examines the question that divided the Allies at the end of World War One. On this page The American liberal peace programme Challenges to Wilson Negotiations begin Germany incensed A stab in the back Find out more Print this page The American liberal peace programme The peace settlement was drawn up at the end of a long and gruelling war which cost over eight million lives and, according to one estimate, around 260 billion dollars - or to put it another way, over six times the sum of all the national debt accumulated in the entire world from the end of the 18th century to 1914. When press reports about Wilson's Fourteen Points first reached Germany, the American peace programme was indignantly dismissed... The expectation of both the Allies and the Central Powers was that the costs of the war would largely be recouped from the losers. Furthermore, both sides planned to exploit their victory by inflicting territorial losses and military limitations on the enemy, and confiscating a sizeable chunk of their economic and industrial resources. Wilson: progressive liberal? © However, such ambitions did not accord well with the peace programme being drawn up in the United States in the course of 1918. The Fourteen Points, delivered by the President of the United States to the American congress in January 1918, and his subsequent addresses represented an ambitious and idealistic bid by Woodrow Wilson to seize the initiative on behalf of the United States and to offer moral leadership to the world in the ensuing peace negotiations. When press reports about Wilson's Fourteen Points first reached Germany, the American peace programme was indignantly dismissed by conservatives as being a 'front for imperialistic conquest' and striking a note of victory which was 'hardly appropriate to Germany's unprecedentedly promising military situation' in early 1918. In stark contrast to Wilson's peace proposals, the Germans concluded an extremely harsh treaty with Russia at Brest Litovsk in March 1918, and turned their attention to a final, all-out push to break the Allied lines on the Western Front."

"text": "Donald Trump Statement on Puerto Rico Donald Trump made a statement on Puerto Rico’s status during his presidential campaign: There are 3.7 million American citizens living in Puerto Rico. As citizens, they should be entitled to determine for themselves their political status. I am firmly committed to the process where Puerto Ricans might resolve their status according to Constitutional and Congressional protocols. I believe the people of Puerto Rico deserve a process of status self-determination that gives them a fair and unambiguous choice on this matter. As president I will do my part to insure that Congress follows the Constitution. The will of the Puerto Rican people in any status referendum should be considered as Congress follows through on any desired change in status for Puerto Rico, including statehood. In other words, like many in Washington, Trump said that Puerto Rico should get to choose which status the Island should have. This sounds good, but for a couple of things. First, Puerto Rico already chose statehood. There is also another referendum coming up, this one funded by the federal government and scheduled for June 2017."

"text": "In 1898 following the Spanish-American War, Spain ceded Guam along with Puerto Rico and the Philippines to the U. S. Under the Peace Treaty of Paris, Guam's political status would be determined by Congress. The U. S. assumed the responsibility of helping the people of Guam attain their social, economic and political development and, by implication, to achieve eventual full self-determination. Since then, the Philippines was granted its independence in 1946 and Puerto has entered into a Commonwealth agreement with the U. S. After being administered by a naval government since 1898, Guam achieved limited self-government in 1950 when Congress enacted the Organic Act of Guam andgranted U. S. citizenship to the inhabitants. And although the Act enabled the people to elect members of their Legislature, the Governor was appointed by the President until the passage of the 1970 Guam Elected Governor Act. In 1972, Guam also was granted a non-voting delegate to Congress. Despite this political emergence, the people of Guam have yet to exercise political self-determination as embodied in the U. N. Charter of 1945, of which the U. S. is a major signatory. To this date, Guam continues to be categorized by the United Nations as a non-self governing territory. Since 1945 to date, most of those non-self governing territoriesplaced under U. N. trusteeship and administered by various major nations of the world have exercised their self-determination, most of them opting for independence. Guam is now at the crossroad of its self-determination process. A plebiscite will be held (with U. N. endorsement) to delink Guam from the non-self governing category in pursuit of its ultimate political status."

[ 3] The desire for a union formed an integral part of the Nazi \"\" Heim ins Reich \"\" movement. [ 4] Earlier, Nazi Germany had provided support for the Austrian National Socialist Party (Austrian Nazi Party) in its bid to seize power from Austria's Fatherland Front government. The idea of an Anschluss (a united Austria and Germany that would form a \"\" Greater Germany \"\") [a] began after the unification of Germany excluded Austria and the German Austrians from the Prussian-dominated German Empire in 1871. Following the end of World War I with the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in 1918, the newly formed Republic of German-Austria attempted to form a union with Germany, but the Treaty of Saint Germain (10 September 1919) and the Treaty of Versailles (28 June 1919) forbade both the union and the continued use of the name \"\"German-Austria\"\" ( Deutschösterreich ); and stripped Austria of some of its territories, such as the Sudetenland.

"text": "A quick guide to plebiscites in Australia Posted 30/06/2011 by Brenton Holmes When Opposition Leader Tony Abbott proposed a plebiscite to test Australians’ support for a carbon tax, the proposal was variously described in the media as ‘ junk politics’, a ‘ stunt ’, a ‘ serious misjudgement’ and ‘ an expensive, bad idea’. But what exactly is a plebiscite? In Australia, a national plebiscite has quite a distinctive meaning. A plebiscite is a vote by citizens on a matter of national significance, but one which does not affect the Constitution. Moreover, plebiscites are normally advisory, and do not compel a government to act on the outcome. A plebiscite might be used to obtain electors’ views on, say, military conscription, or choosing a new Australian flag. Only the Australian parliament can authorise the holding of a plebiscite. Unlike some countries, Australia has no mechanism by which citizens might initiate a plebiscite by, for example, petitioning Parliament with a threshold number of signatures calling for a matter to be put to a national vote. Such a plebiscite is commonly referred to as a ‘citizen initiated referendum’. Bills for citizens’ initiated referendums have been introduced occasionally into Australian state or territory legislatures but none have passed."

It has also earned the moniker \"\"Gateway to the North\"\". Cabanatuan remained as Nueva Ecija's capital until 1965 when the government created nearby Palayan City as the new provincial capital. Nueva Ecija's old capitol and other government offices are still used and maintained by the provincial administration.

Cabanatuan is the site of the historical \"\"Plaza Lucero\"\" and the Cabanatuan Cathedral, where General Antonio Luna was assassinated by Captain Pedro Janolino and members of the kawit battalion. Cabanatuan lost the title of provincial capital in 1850 when the capital of Nueva Ecija was moved to San Isidro, another historic town. It was only in 1917, when the Administrative code was enacted, that Cabanatuan was restored as capital of the Province."

"text": "Plebiscite, a vote by the people of an entire country or district to decide on some issue, such as choice of a ruler or government, option for independence or annexation by another power, or a question of national policy. In a plebiscite, voters are asked not to choose between alternate regimes or proposals but to confirm or reject the legitimacy of a certain form of government or course of action. Plebiscites are seen as a way for a government to go directly to the people, bypassing intermediaries such as political parties. After the Revolution of 1789, the plebiscite was popular in France because it was seen as an expression of popular sovereignty. In 1804, a plebiscite made Napoleon emperor. Plebiscites have been used to establish political boundaries when it is a question of nationality. For example, in 1935, the Saar chose to remain part of Germany rather than become part of France. Because a plebiscite offers a way of claiming a popular mandate without officially sanctioning an opposition party, totalitarian regimes also use them to legitimize their power. Learn More in these related articles: France: The authoritarian years…by the use of the plebiscite to ratify decisions already made. The emperor and his ministers (members of his personal entourage or former Orleanist politicians) rested their authority on the peasant masses, the business class, the church, and those local notables who were willing to cooperate."

Politically, Puerto Rico is an unincorporated territory of the United States, which according to the U. S. Supreme Court's Insular Cases is \"\"a territory appurtenant and belonging to the United States, but not a part of the United States within the revenue clauses of the Constitution\"\". [ 1] [2] The basic question regarding this issue is whether Puerto Rico should remain a U. S. territory, become a U. S. state or become an independent country. American and Puerto Rican political activities regarding the status question have revolved around three sets of initiatives: presidential executive orders, bills in the U. S. Congress, and referenda held in Puerto Rico. U. S. Presidents have issued three executive orders on the subject, and Congress has considered four major bills on Puerto Rico's political status. Puerto Rican status referenda have been held four times to determine the desired political status of Puerto Rico in relation to the United States of America. At the November 6, 2012, non-binding referendum on the status question, 54% of respondents voted to reject the current status under the territorial clause of the U. S. Constitution, [3] while in a second question 61% favored statehood as the preferred alternative. [ 4] Another referendum was held on June 11, 2017, in which voters had three options: \"\"Statehood\"\", \"\"Free Association/Independence\"\" or \"\"Current Territorial Status\"\". An overwhelming 97% of voters chose \"\"Statehood\"\", although turnout was only 23% due to a boycott from opponents to statehood. In 2009, 2011, and most recently in 2016, The United Nations Special Committee on Decolonization called for the United States to expedite the process to allow self-determination in Puerto Rico. ["

"text": "\"Cavour & Italian unification In 1815 at the close of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars the statesmen representing the great powers, in their efforts to restore stable governance to Europe after twenty-six years of turmoil, came to accept (under the persuasion of Talleyrand - the Foreign Minister of the recently restored French monarchy) that \"\"legitimate sovereigns\"\" should be restored, where possible, to their thrones. Prior to the first irruption of what developed into French, and European, revolutionary unrest after 1789 the political shape of the Italian peninsula derived in large part from the influence of Papal diplomacy over the previous millennium where the Popes had tended to strongly support the existence of a number of small states in the north of the peninsula such that no strong power might presume to try to overshadow the papacy. Such political decentralisation may have facilitated the emergence of a number of mercantile city states such as the Florence of the Medicis and the Milan of the Sforzas and to have allowed a scenario where ambitious men such as Cesare Borgia could attempt to establish themselves as rulers of territories won by statecraft and the sword. The burgeoning wealth of these city states, despite much political turmoil, helped to fund that re-birth of classical learning and of artistic expression that is known as the Renaissance. As time passed some of these mercantile states became reconstituted as Duchies and Grand Duchies. By the mid eighteenth century the north of the Italian peninsula featured a number of such dynastic states together with mercantile republics such as Genoa and Venice. The former Duchy of Savoy meanwhile, originally based on limited territories north of the Alps, had expanded to also include Nice, Piedmont (an extensive territory in the north-east of the Italian peninsula) and the island of Sardinia and was known by its senior title as the Kingdom of Sardinia. The Noble House of Savoy maintained its court at Turin in Piedmont. The kingdom under the sovereignty of the House of Savoy is referred to by historians as Sardinia, Piedmont or Piedmont-Sardinia or Sardinia-Piedmont. In the settlements to the Napoleonic Wars statesmen, in their efforts to restore political stability to Europe, reconstituted most of the Duchies and Grand Duchies often under rulers drawn from junior branches of the Habsburg dynasty or otherwise under Habsburg Austrian tutelage."

An armistice was signed months before in the forest of Compi�gne, which put an end to the fighting. Threatened with further war if they did not sign it, representatives of the new German government were forced by the victors to sign the treaty. The then German foreign minister, Hermann M�ller, undersigned it on June 28, 1919. The treaty was ratified on January 10, 1920 and required that Germany claims full responsibility for causing the war, pay large amounts of compensation (known as war reparations ), lose territory, military power and all its colonies. The treaty included further intentionally humiliating aspects. In Germany the treaty caused a shock—that often historians refer to as a trauma or anti-Versailles-complex—and became a reason for the collapse of the Weimar Republic and Hitler 's rise to power. [ edit]Conditions Proclamation of the German Empire in the Salle des Glaces, Versailles The treaty provided for the creation of the League of Nations, a major goal of US president Woodrow Wilson. The purpose of the organization was to arbitrate conflicts between nations before they lead to war.

"text": "China Great Wall of China The Great Wall of China is a series of stone and earthen fortifications built by a number of emperors to protect the northern borders against nomadic tribes. At one time the wall stretched from Shanhaiguan on China's east coast through a variety of terrains including mountains, plateaus and desert to Lop Nur in the North West of the country. Today a lot of that wall has disappeared but parts are still being rediscovered, its current length is approximately 4,500 miles. Although walls have existed in China since the 9th century BC, they were used extensively during the Warring States Period between the 5 th century and 221 BC, although it wasn’t until the unification of China by Qin Shi Huangdi, the First Emperor of China that the connection of the various walls was carried out to form a unified defensive system. Qin Shi Huangdiunified China not just politically but also economically by standardizing the Chinese units of measurements, the currency and the Chinese script. H e also developed an Irrigation System and an extensive network of roads and canals connecting the provinces in order to improve trade, and he carried out a major development of the Great Wall. The original wall was constructed mainly of rammed earth, the same methods are used in China today, posts would be placed in the ground, and planks would be positioned and held in place by the posts. Earth would then be placed between the planks and well compacted by pounding. Branches would be laid at stages as a layer as the wall was built up in order to act as a binder. The work force included soldiers, prisoners and peasants who were taken from all over the country and relocated where they would toil for the rest of their lives, millions died in the process and it is thought that one person died for every metre of length that the wall stretches, giving the wall the name of the long grave yard."

Named for its heartland in Qin state (modern Gansu and Shaanxi ), the dynasty was founded by Qin Shi Huang, the First Emperor of Qin. The strength of the Qin state was greatly increased by the Legalist reforms of Shang Yang in the fourth century BC, during the Warring States period. In the mid and late third century BC, the Qin state carried out a series of swift conquests, first ending the powerless Zhou dynasty, and eventually conquering the other six of the Seven Warring States. Its 15 years was the shortest major dynasty in Chinese history, consisting of only two emperors, but inaugurated an imperial system that lasted, with interruption and adaptation, until 1912. The Qin sought to create a state unified by structured political power and a large military supported by a stable economy. ["

Chinese: 秦始皇 Qín Shǐhuáng /chin shrr-hwung/ 'Qin [family name] First Emperor'The First Emperor's Background The First Emperor was born the son of a king of the Qin kingdom that already had plans for the conquest of every other kingdom in the Warring States Period . His predecessors had been preparing for regional conquest for years by mobilizing the masses to build massive construction projects, conscripting the people for the army, and producing the most advanced weaponry that they could. The State of Qin rulers believed in a political philosophy called Legalism that justified strict centralized control and using the people to strengthen Qin, so they focused on huge construction projects and conquest. The First Emperor's Childhood (259–246 BC)The Terracotta Warriors were made to guard the First Emperor's tomb."

From football player to prison officer Meet the 'fearless' drag queens of Beirut There are two Chinese leaders whose final resting place is thronged by tourists - Mao Zedong and Qin Shi Huang, the emperor of terracotta soldier fame. But they also have another thing in common - Qin taught Mao a lesson in how to persecute intellectuals. Chairman Mao Zedong has been dead for nearly 40 years but his body is still preserved in a mausoleum in Tiananmen Square. The square is the symbolic heart of Chinese politics - red flags and lanterns flank the portrait of Mao on Tiananmen Gate where he proclaimed the People's Republic in 1949. But the red emperor owed the idea of this vast country to an empire builder who lived 2,000 years earlier. \"\" We wouldn't have a China without Qin Shi Huang,\"\" says Harvard University's Peter Bol. \"\" I think it's that simple. \"\" The Qin was really the first state to really go into total mobilisation for war Peter Bol, Harvard University China at the time was a land of many states.

Dennis Jarvis / Flickr / CC BY-SA 2.0by Kallie Szczepanski Updated March 28, 2018Qin Shi Huang (or Shi Huangdi) was the First Emperor of a unified China and ruled from 246 BCE to 210 BCE. In his 35-year reign, he managed to create magnificent and enormous construction projects. He also caused both incredible cultural and intellectual growth and much destruction within China. Whether he should be remembered more for his creations or his tyranny is a matter of dispute, but everyone agrees that Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, was one of the most important rulers in Chinese history. Early Life According to legend, a rich merchant named Lu Buwei befriended a prince of the Qin State during the latter years of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (770-256 BCE). The merchant's lovely wife Zhao Ji had just gotten pregnant, so he arranged for the prince to meet and fall in love with her. She became the prince's concubine and then gave birth to Lu Buwei's child in 259 BCE. The baby, born in Hanan, was named Ying Zheng. The prince believed the baby was his own."

As the first emperor of China, he indeed has a profound influence on Chinese history and culture. How did he come to the throne? Qin Shi Huang, born as Ying Zheng in 259 BC, was the son of the king of the Qin State. At the age of thirteen, he succeeded his father's regality. Ying Zheng was very aggressive and ambitious at an early age. He assumed full power at 22 by ridding himself of his premier, Lu Buwei, who acted as regent while he was a minor. He wanted to unify and subjugate all the states like Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan and Qi by the powerful political, economic and military strength of the Qin State. Ying Zheng realized his ambition and built the first feudal and centralized empire in Chinese history in 221 BC. This was what we called - the Qin Dynasty (221 BC - 206 BC)."

"text": "Abstract This paper uses the example of my mixed media project titled ‘Suyascape’ (which draws inspiration from the West African grilled meat delicacy called ‘Suya’) to provide an insight into the kind of technical and conceptual transformations currently taking place in the contemporary Nigerian ceramic art scene. An excursion into the history of modern Nigerian ceramic art has been used to locate works in the ‘suyascape’ series in the stream of history so as to provide the right context for their appreciation. Key words: ‘Suya’; Nok Culture; Nsukka; Nigeria Introduction Although a few articles have before now hinted on my work as an emerging contemporary Nigerian ceramic artist seeking to broaden his practice to include the use of non-ceramic components, there is still no detailed art historical context provided so as to situate my vision, technical approaches and conceptual strategies in the stream of contemporary Nigerian art. For example, in his article ‘Interrogating the Human Figure in Bridging the Ceramic-Sculpture Divide: Practice in Nigeria’ published in Issue 8 of Interpreting Ceramics 1, a number of my works have been used by the Nigerian contemporary sculptor, Tonie Okpe, to illustrate ways by which ‘the broadening scope of hand-built ceramic craft in Nigeria includes figurative work to a greater extent now than at any time in the past’ 2. According to Okpe: The early Nok terracotta, for instance, demonstrates that the figure in art in Nigeria is not the exclusive preserve of sculpture or painting but is also part of the ceramic craft, despite the rich legacies and continuity and constant change occurring in traditional pottery, which in the 1950s was boosted by the immense contribution of the potter Michael Cardew at his Suleja base. The strict tradition of practice, of sculpture for sculptors and pottery for ceramicists, began to decline considerably in the late 1970s as sculptors began experimenting with ceramic methods of hand-built forms while their counterparts took an interest in producing figurative work outside of the pure dictates of sculpture. Ozioma’s work in terms of style and diversity of theme is of social relevance to Nigeria and the world. 3Before Tonie Okpe’s article, I had articulated my conceptual concerns in an essay that won a highly commended prize in Interpreting Ceramic’ s Speak for Yourself Competition 2006. In her introductory comment on my essay, Jo Dahn writes: Despite its brevity, we felt this entry conveyed a very real sense of what it might be like to make ceramics in contemporary Nigeria and were impressed by the highly moving section subtitled 'Casualties Idiom' with its lists of horrifying practices. It is a percussive, at moments frantic, piece of writing that gathers in pace, rises to a crescendo and mutates into poetry."

It was passed on April 21, 1649, by the assembly of the Maryland colony, in St. Mary's City. It was the second law requiring religious tolerance in the British North American colonies and created one of the pioneer statutes passed by the legislative body of an organized colonial government to guarantee any degree of religious liberty. Specifically, the bill, now usually referred to as the Toleration Act, granted freedom of conscience to all Christians. [ 1] (The colony which became Rhode Island passed a series of laws, the first in 1636, which prohibited religious persecution including against non-Trinitarians; Rhode Island was also the first government to separate church and state.) Historians argue that it helped inspire later legal protections for freedom of religion in the United States. The Calvert family, who founded Maryland partly as a refuge for English Catholics, sought enactment of the law to protect Catholic settlers and those of other religions that did not conform to the dominant Anglicanism of Britain and her colonies."

The chronology is intended for browsing, with the assumption that meandering through portions of it is the best way to get a sense of the historical context around the specific moment or era you are interested in. The chronology is focused on the period from 1642 to 1820, that is, from the period of the Civil Wars through the end of the reign of George III. During this time span, coverage is provided on a year-by-year basis. But a few indicative events and publications from before and after this timespan are sketched in as prelude and aftermath to the era of interest. Under each year, historical events are listed first, followed by publications (alphabetically by author). I have tried to provide some broad generic labels for these publications--\"\"poetry,\"\" \"\"drama,\"\" \"\"fiction,\"\" \"\"anthology,\"\" and \"\"periodical\"\"--but this aspect of the \"\"Historical Outline\"\" is, as yet, very uneven. So, too, at present, the chronology reflects a certain Anglophone parochialism, but given the significance of works in other European languages for British literary culture during the Restoration and eighteenth century, I hope to expand this dimension of the chronology in future revisions. Works in languages other than English appear after the English-language texts under each year. The dates used in the chronology mark the beginning of the new year on 1 Jan. The navigation bar on the left allows one to move more quickly to particular periods within the long duration covered by this chronology."

Born 9 December 1608 Bread Street, Cheapside, London, England Died 8 November 1674 (aged 65) Bunhill, London, England Resting place St Giles-without-Cripplegate Occupation Poet, prose polemicist, civil servant Language English, Latin, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Spanish, Aramaic, Syriac Nationality English Alma mater Christ's College, Cambridge Signature John Milton (9 December 1608 – 8 November 1674) was an English poet, polemicist, man of letters, and civil servant for the Commonwealth of England under Oliver Cromwell. He wrote at a time of religious flux and political upheaval, and is best known for his epic poem Paradise Lost (1667), written in blank verse. Milton's poetry and prose reflect deep personal convictions, a passion for freedom and self-determination, and the urgent issues and political turbulence of his day. Writing in English, Latin, Greek, and Italian, he achieved international renown within his lifetime, and his celebrated Areopagitica (1644), written in condemnation of pre-publication censorship, is among history's most influential and impassioned defences of free speech and freedom of the press. William Hayley 's 1796 biography called him the \"\"greatest English author\"\", [1] and he remains generally regarded \"\"as one of the preeminent writers in the English language\"\", [2] though critical reception has oscillated in the centuries since his death (often on account of his republicanism ). Samuel Johnson praised Paradise Lost as \"\"a poem which...with respect to design may claim the first place, and with respect to performance, the second, among the productions of the human mind\"\", though he (a Tory and recipient of royal patronage) described Milton's politics as those of an \"\"acrimonious and surly republican\"\".

Merchants from all over the empire settled there and soldiers from many countries served there so we will never know who first introduced Christianity to Britain. At that time the native people were Celts. They were polytheists (they worshiped many gods). The Romans too were polytheists and they were willing to allow the Celts to worship their old gods. However the Romans were not tolerant of Christianity. At times waves of persecution crossed the empire.

The two principal Baptist confessions of faith are the Confession of 1688, or Philadelphia Confession, and the New Hampshire Confession. The Philadelphia Confession is the Westminster (Presbyterian) Confession (1646) revised in a Baptist sense. It first appeared in 1677, was reprinted in 1688, approved by the English Baptist Assembly of 1689, and adopted by the Baptist Association at Philadelphia in 1742, a circumstance which accounts for its usual name."

"text": "\"1642-1652: The Diggers and the Levellers A history of the radical movements the Diggers and the Levellers which sprung up around the English Civil War. The political and social upheaval that resulted from the English Civil War in the seventeenth century [effectively two conflicts between 1642 -1646 and 1647/48] led to the development of a set of radical ideas centred around movements known as ‘Diggers’ and ‘Levellers’ The Diggers [or ‘True Levellers’] were led by William Everard who had served in the New Model Army. As the name implies, the diggers aimed to use the earth to reclaim the freedom that they felt had been lost partly through the Norman Conquest; by seizing the land and owning it ‘in common’ they would challenge what they considered to be the slavery of property. They were opposed to the use of force and believed that they could create a classless society simply through seizing land and holding it in the ‘common good’. To this end, a small group [initially 12, though rising to 50] settled on common land first at St George’s Hill and later in Cobham, Surrey and grew corn and other crops. This small group defied the landlords, the Army and the law for over a year. In addition to this, groups travelled through England attempting to rally supporters. In this they had some successes in Kent and Northamptonshire. Their main propagandist was Gerard Winstanley who produced the clearest statement of Digger ideas in ‘The Law of Freedom in a Platform’ published in 1652. This was a defence and exposition of the notion of a classless society based in secularism and radical democracy The relatively small group of followers of Digger ideas was never particularly influential and was quite easily suppressed by Cromwell and Fairfax."

But colonies soon adopted laws that limited religious freedom and forced to people to pay taxes to support churches they did not believe in. Dissenters started protesting to abolish those laws. An important change came in 1786 when Virginia passed the Statute for Religious Freedom. Drafted by Thomas Jefferson, the new law served as a model for the First Amendment. It established a clear separation of church and state and was one of Jefferson’s proudest accomplishments. Most of the early colonists in America came from England. Many who settled in the South—the Plantation colonies—belonged to the Church of England, or Anglican Church. In Virginia, ministers were required to preach Christianity according to the “doctrine, rites and religion” practiced by the Church of England."

"text": "The Glorious Revolution of 1688Stephen Quinn, Texas Christian University The Glorious Revolution was when William of Orange took the English throne from James II in 1688. The event brought a permanent realignment of power within the English constitution. The new co-monarchy of King William III and Queen Mary II accepted more constraints from Parliament than previous monarchs had, and the new constitution created the expectation that future monarchs would also remain constrained by Parliament. The new balance of power between parliament and crown made the promises of the English government more credible, and credibility allowed the government to reorganize its finances through a collection of changes called the Financial Revolution. A more contentious argument is that the constitutional changes made property rights more secure and thus promoted economic development. Historical Overview Tension between king and parliament ran deep throughout the seventeenth century. In the 1640s, the dispute turned into civil war. The loser, Charles I, was beheaded in 1649; his sons, Charles and James, fled to France; and the victorious Oliver Cromwell ruled England in the 1650s. Cromwell’s death in 1659 created a political vacuum, so Parliament invited Charles I’s sons back from exile, and the English monarchy was restored with the coronation of Charles II in 1660. Tensions after the Restoration The Restoration, however, did not settle the fundamental questions of power between king and Parliament."

The war itself involved the king, Parliament, the aristocracy, the middle classes, the commoners, and the army. The War tested the prerogative of the king and challenged the theory of divine right. War raged between Parliamentarians, Royalists, Cavaliers and Roundheads and every religious sect in England. The years before 1640 in England were years of national disillusionment. The gap between the court and Protestant elements widened, the golden age of drama and literature was over, the religion of the court and at Oxford and Cambridge seemed diffused, and scientific ideas, though popular in London and at Oxford and Cambridge, as yet had received no official recognition. In the meantime, censorship grew more severe, and lawyers became the patrons and consumers of art. For the most part, energies which had been devoted to literature in the mid-to-late 16th century were now channeled into political and theological concerns. The Civil War was both religious and political, as well as social and economic. But it was also a legal battle between the king and his subjects."

They encouraged (or at least tolerated) several republican regimes. From 1649 until 1653 executive powers lay with Council of State, while legislative functions were carried out by the Rump Parliament. In 1653 the Grandees, with Oliver Cromwell in the lead, dismissed the Rump, and replaced it with a Nominated Assembly (nicknamed the Parliament of Saints and Barebone's Parliament) made up of 140 nominees, 129 from England, five from Scotland and six from Ireland. It proved to be as difficult for the executive to work with this parliament as it had with the Rump, so, after sitting for five months, members friendly to the Grandees engendered its dissolution on 12 December 1653. The Instrument of Government was adopted on 15 December 1653 and the pre-eminent Grandee Oliver Cromwell was installed as Lord Protector on the following day. [ 1] The Instrument of Government granted executive power to the Lord Protector. Although this post was elective, not hereditary, it was to be held for life."

Cromwell defeated Charles II at the Battle of Worcester on 3 September 1651, and Charles fled to mainland Europe. Cromwell became virtual dictator of England, Scotland and Ireland, and Charles spent the next nine years in exile in France, the Dutch Republic and the Spanish Netherlands. A political crisis that followed the death of Cromwell in 1658 resulted in the restoration of the monarchy, and Charles was invited to return to Britain. On 29 May 1660, his 30th birthday, he was received in London to public acclaim. After 1660, all legal documents were dated as if he had succeeded his father as king in 1649. Charles's English parliament enacted laws known as the Clarendon Code, designed to shore up the position of the re- established Church of England."

Signed 3rd March 1918Location Brest-Litovsk, Kholm Governorate (Ukraine under German occupation) [1]Condition Ratification Signatories Austro-Hungarian Empire Kingdom of Bulgaria German Empire Ottoman Empire Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic Languages Bulgarian · German · Hungarian Russian · Ottoman Turkish The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was a peace treaty on March 3, 1918, between the new Bolshevik government of Russia (the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic) and the Central Powers ( Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and Turkey ), which ended Russia's participation in World War I. The treaty was signed at Brest-Litovsk (now Brest, Belarus) after two months of negotiations. The treaty was forced on the Soviet government by the threat of further advances by German and Austrian forces. By the treaty, Soviet Russia defaulted on Imperial Russia's commitments to the Triple Entente alliance. Russia ceded Baltic States to Germany, recognized the independence of Ukraine, and agreed to pay six billion German gold mark in reparations. Historian Spencer Tucker says, \"\"The German General Staff had formulated extraordinarily harsh terms that shocked even the German negotiator.\"\" [ 2]Russian-Poland was not mentioned in the treaty, as Germans refused to recognize existence of any Polish representatives, which in turn led to Polish protests. [ 3] When Germany later complained that the Treaty of Versailles of 1919 was too harsh on them, the Allies (and historians favorable to the Allies) responded that it was more benign than Brest-Litovsk. [ 4] The effects of the treaty meant that Baltic states would become nothing more than vassal German princedoms, Poland and Finland satellite states. ["

Soviet-German Agreements Diplomatic relations were established between the USSR and Germany on Apr. 16, 1922, by the Treaty of Rapallo. The treaty had been preceded by a provisional agreement of May 6, 1921, on trade and economic relations; the agreement signified Germany’s de facto recognition of the Sovietgovernment. Although diplomatic relations had been established between the countries on Mar. 3, 1918, by the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, the German government crudely violated relations by takingpart in the military intervention against Soviet Russia. After the November Revolution of 1918 in Germany, the All-Russian Central Executive Committee annulled the Brest-Litovsk Treaty on Nov.13, 1918. Germany was the first great capitalist power with which Soviet Russia established diplomaticrelations. On May 3, 1924, reactionary German circles staged a provocation against the USSRtrade mission in Berlin. In accordance with the protocol on settling the Soviet-German conflict (July29, 1924), the German government satisfied the demands of the USSR by making apologies,punishing the guilty persons, and guaranteeing the rights of the trade mission."

The centenary of the beginning of World War I has revealed a deep divide between perceptions of the war held by the general public and historians, at least in the English-speaking world. Pundits and commentators and politicians routinely opine that World War I was a needless and unavoidable catastrophe, variously attributed to the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a Serbian terrorist at Sarajevo on June 28, 1914, runaway arms races, imperialism in general, or “sleepwalking” politicians who stumbled blindly into catastrophe. The general impression among the broader public is that nobody in particular was to blame for the greatest conflagration in world history before the Second World War. Literary and cinematic masterpieces like Remargue’s All Quiet on the Western Front and Kubrick’s Path’s of Glory have reinforced the perception that the conflict proved the absurdity of war. The lesson is that war is like catastrophic climate change—a destructive force that must be avoided and for which everyone is partly to blame. How To Shut An Atheist Up in 15 Seconds Flat Watch The Video213,271Promoted Content In the Anglophone world, this popular interpretation of World War I has deep roots in strains of isolationism, the international peace campaigns of the early twentieth century, and, not least, Woodrow Wilson’s call for a “peace without victory.” In the European Union, treating World War I as the product of abstract forces like arms races or nationalism is doubtlessly useful in minimizing national animosities. But unlike the chattering classes, most historians, ever since Fritz Fischer published Germany’s Aims in the First World War (1961), have tended to agree that the major cause of World War I was Imperial Germany’s determination to become a “world power” or superpower by crippling Russia and France in what it hoped would be a brief and decisive war, like the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71."

During his years of exile:· He was editor of Pravda (Truth) – the main Communist newspaper. He also wrote in other Communist newspapers.

"text": "Treaty of Brest-Litovsk The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk brought about the end of the war between Russia and Germany in 1918. The German were reminded of the harshness of Brest-Litovsk when they complained about the severity of the Treaty of Versailles signed in June 1919. Lenin had ordered that the Bolshevik representatives should get a quick treaty from the Germans to bring about an end to the war so that the Bolsheviks could concentrate on the work they needed to do in Russia itself. The start of the discussions was an organisational disaster. Representatives from the Allies, who were meant to have attended, failed to show. Russia, therefore, had to negotiate a peace settlement by herself. After just one week of talks, the Russian delegation left so that it could report to the All-Russian Central Executive Committee. It was at this meeting that it became clear that there were three views about the peace talks held within the Bolshevik hierarchy. Trotsky believed that Germany would offer wholly unacceptable terms to the Russians and that this would spur the German workers to rise up in revolt against their leaders and in support of their Russian compatriots. This rebellion would, in turn, spark off a world-wide workers rebellion."

Wilson wanted to re-draw the frontiers of eastern Europe so that races ruled themselves. In some ways, self-determination was achieved. The Treaty of Versailles created Poland by taking West Prussia from Germany. It also created the new nation-states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The Treaty of Saint Germain created Czechoslovakia and the Treaty of Trianon created Yugoslavia. In all, nine nation states were set up. However, the Big Three did not allow the defeated countries self-determination. Germans found themselves living in Poland, Lithuania and Czechoslovakia, and Anschluss with Austria was forbidden."

"text": "The Treaty of Brest Litovsk The signing of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk on March 3, 1918 officially ended Russia’s involvement in World War I. The treaty was signed in time for the Germans to devote all of their resources to a spring offensive on the Western Front. It provided the infant Soviet Republic a short “breathing space” to regroup before the coming civil war. While often disregarded as a historical footnote because it would be abrogated after the German collapse in November 1918, the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk actually signaled the emergence of the Soviet Union in the international community. Soviet thinking, attitudes, and conduct toward disengaging from World War I were rooted in their October 1917 “Decree on Peace” which had proclaimed Russia’s desire to make peace with all of the world’s belligerents. Despite the oratorical skills of the Soviets’ lead negotiator and Commissar of Foreign Affairs, Leon Trotsky, this approach fell flat owing to the Germans’ pressing geo-political concerns in the conduct of the War. While the Bolsheviks were propagandizing the notion that it was in the interest of all parties to end the War without annexation and indemnities, the Germans sought to secure all possible resources from the Soviets’ western borderlands in order to continue prosecuting World War I on their western front. The contrast between the two peace delegations at Brest Litovsk revealed the broad gap that was emerging between the Soviet Union and the rest of the world as a result of the 1917 revolution. The leader of the German delegation sent to Brest Litovsk in November 1917, General Max Hoffman, sought the quickest possible solution to his country’s Eastern conflict. Together with a group of fourteen representatives from the Central Power nations (five German officers, four from Austria-Hungary, three from Turkey, and two from Bulgaria) Hoffman’s well-groomed delegation represented the spit and polish of imperial armies—the splendor and glory of the ancient regime. By contrast, the Bolshevik delegation represented the exact opposite."

Jeremy Noakes traces the origins of Lebensraum, identifying why Hitler looked to the east to expand. On this page Idea of 'Lebensraum'Pre-war intellectual fashion Impetus during World War One Influence on Hitler Mein Kampf Find out more Print this page Idea of 'Lebensraum'Between 1921 and 1925 Adolf Hitler developed the belief that Germany required Lebensraum ('living space') in order to survive. The conviction that this living space could be gained only in the east, and specifically from Russia, formed the core of this idea, and shaped his policy after his take-over of power in Germany in 1933. So where did he get this idea from? And why did he envisage his country's future living space lying in the east? The term Lebensraum was coined by the German geographer, Friedrich Ratzel (1844-1904). During the last two decades of the 19th century, Ratzel developed a theory according to which the development of all species, including humans, is primarily determined by their adaptation to geographic circumstances. Above all, Ratzel considered species migration as the crucial factor in social adaptation and cultural change. Species that successfully adapted to one location, he thought, would spread naturally to others."

The Treaty ended the state of war between Germany and the Allied Powers. It was signed on 28 June 1919 in Versailles, exactly five years after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand which directly lead to World War I. The other Central Powers on the German side of World War I signed separate treaties. [ 8] Although the armistice, signed on 11 November 1918, ended the actual fighting, it took six months of Allied negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference to conclude the peace treaty. The treaty was registered by the Secretariat of the League of Nations on 21 October 1919. Of the many provisions in the treaty, one of the most important and controversial required \"\"Germany [to] accept the responsibility of Germany and her allies for causing all the loss and damage\"\" during the war (the other members of the Central Powers signed treaties containing similar articles). This article, Article 231, later became known as the War Guilt clause. The treaty forced Germany to disarm, make substantial territorial concessions, and pay reparations to certain countries that had formed the Entente powers. In 1921 the total cost of these reparations was assessed at 132 billion marks (then $31.4 billion or £6.6 billion, roughly equivalent to US $442 billion or UK £284 billion in 2018)."

"text": "EP after the Lisbon treaty: Bigger role in shaping Europe The Lisbon treaty, which came in force in late 2009, brought new law-making powers to the European Parliament and put it on an equal footing with the Council of Ministers in deciding what the EU does and how money is spent. It also changed the way the Parliament works with other institutions and gave MEPs more influence on who runs the EU. All these reforms ensured that by casting your vote in the European elections, you get to have an even greater say on where Europe is heading. Sign up for email updates Facebook: share Twitter: tweet Parliament on Facebook More powers The Lisbon treaty increased the ability of the EU and its Parliament to act and deliver. It extended Parliament’s full legislative power to more than 40 new fields, including agriculture, energy security, immigration, justice and EU funds, and put it on an equal footing with the Council that represents member states’ governments. Parliament also gained the power to approve the entire EU budget together with the Council. MEPs were given the right to strike down international agreements and did not hesitate to use this to stop the controversial Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) that many feared would stifle fundamental freedoms. This episode proved that as a result of the boost in powers, decisions taken by MEPs have an even stronger impact on the everyday life of Europeans. Bigger role The Lisbon treaty not only gave the Parliament the same law-making powers as the Council, but also granted it the clout to set Europe’s political direction. According to the treaty changes, it is the Parliament that elects the head of the Commission, the executive body of the EU, and this decision must reflect the results of the European elections and, therefore, the voters’ choice."

We would still be signed up to the European Convention on Human Rights The United Kingdom has signed the European Convention on Human Rights, which is an international treaty enforced by the Council of Europe—a group of 47 countries from Iceland to Russia. As a result, people who believe that the UK government or the UK’s laws are responsible for a breach of any of the rights listed in the convention can challenge them at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. By signing the treaty, the government agreed to abide by any judgment delivered by the Strasbourg court that goes against the UK. To comply, the government might have to ask parliament to change the law. It’s the job of the Council of Europe to supervise the way in which governments give effect to the court’s rulings. The Council of Europe is entirely separate from the European Union, which has 28 members. It follows that a country can be a member of the Council of Europe and not of the EU. And while ministers say that they “ rule nothing out ”, it is not the policy of the UK government to leave the Council of Europe or pull out of the human rights convention."

Under EU rules, the treaty had to be ratified by all 27 member states before coming into force. The last country to ratify the treaty was the Czech Republic, which completed the process on 3 November 2009. Like the proposed European constitution before it, the treaty is often described as an attempt to streamline EU institutions to make the enlarged bloc of 27 states function better. But its opponents see it as part of a federalist agenda that threatens national sovereignty. The planned constitution was thrown out by French and Dutch voters in 2005. The Lisbon Treaty which succeeded it was rejected by Irish voters in June 2008. But it got overwhelming support in a second referendum in the Irish Republic on 2 October 2009. How similar is Lisbon to the draft constitution? It contains many of the changes the constitution attempted to introduce, for example: A politician chosen to be president of the European Council for two-and-a-half years."

The history of Spain as a united state dates from the union of Castile and Aragon by the marriage of Isabella and Ferdinand. The marriage took place in 1469, before the accession of either sovereign. In 1474 the crown of Castile was claimed by Isabella on the death of her brother Henry IV., whose daughter Joanna was universally believed to be illegitimate. It was contended by the partisans of Ferdinand that female succession was prohibited in Castile, and that he was entitled to the crown as the nearest male heir after his father. Ultimately the question was settled in Isabella's favour, and she obtained the most important rights of sovereignty, though the government was carried on in their joint names. It is possible that Ferdinand would have refused to accept this arrangement, if concerted action had not been necessary to oppose the party which espoused the cause of Joanna. A number of the Castilian nobles, headed by the marquis of Villena, dreaded the danger to the privileges of their order that might arise from the establishment of a strong government."

Print the article Send the article Comments on article The Lisbon Treaty supplements the existing European Community treaty, the Treaty of Rome, and the European Union treaty the Maastricht treaty, and it replaces the originally tabled EU Constitution agreed in Brussels in 2004 (which was then rejected by the French and Dutch in referendums a year later). Plans to introduce a new legal framework for the Union were rejected in in the first Irish referendum in June 2008 by 53 per cent of the electorate. It had been hoped the treaty would be in place before 2009 European Elections, but instead, the Union awaits the result of this second Irish referendum. The treaty promises a greater role for the European Parliament, of which Ireland has 12 MEPs. It also creates new powers over legislation, the budget and international agreements, but removes a number of national vetoes on EU measures. The treaty would also create a new position of President of the European Council, with an elected official being appointed every two and half years. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair has been discussed as a possible candidate for this post."

"text": "Cristovão de Noronha, World Knowledge Updated Sep 7, 2016 · Author has 124 answers and 197.4k answer views Originally Answered: Is Spain's occupation of Ceuta and Melilla the same as Britain's occupation of Gibraltar? It is now the 6th time someone changes the question in order to change the meaning of my answer, in order to try to benefit the Spanish claim. So lets be quite clear: Both Gilbraltar (by UK) and Ceuta (by Spain) were occupied has strategical outposts to keep an in loco control over the adversary, and with time, became also strategical trade posts. The return of Gibraltar to Spain has remained a foreign policy goal for all Spanish rulers since the area was lost to Britain under the terms of the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713. Franco's fierce determination to regain Gibraltar culminated in his closing the frontier between Spain and Gibraltar in 1969. Governments that came to power after the regime was democratized engaged in calmer but equally persistent negotiations with the British and with the residents of Gibraltar over the future of the area. These discussions ultimately resulted in the April 1980 Lisbon Agreement, which was more symbolic than substantive, but which served as a framework for subsequent Anglo-Spanish negotiations. Gibraltar The Spanish government had intended to reopen the frontier between Spain and Gibraltar shortly after the signing of the Lisbon Agreement, but it postponed this step in anger at a series of British actions, including the use of Gibraltar as a military depot and refueling base during the Falklands War in 1982. The frontier was finally reopened in the early days of the Socialist government that was elected later in the year. Spain's entry into NATO added new complications to the Gibraltar question, including Spain's insistence that Gibraltar was a NATO naval base as well as a British one, a contention that the British government denied."

"text": "\"EU summit: All but two leaders sign fiscal treaty2 March 2012 Share All but two of the EU's 27 leaders have signed a new treaty to enforce budget discipline within the bloc. The \"\"fiscal compact\"\" aims to prevent the 17 eurozone states running up huge debts like those which sparked the Greek, Irish and Portuguese bailouts. To take effect, the pact must be ratified by 12 eurozone states. UK Prime Minister David Cameron, who with the Czechs refused to sign, said the summit had accepted his ideas for cutting red tape and boosting growth. On Thursday he had complained that his ideas, contained in a joint letter signed by 12 EU leaders, were being ignored. But after the talks he said \"\"our letter really did become the agenda for this meeting... We now have a plan that we must stick to in the months ahead\"\". The newly reappointed President of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy, said the British proposals were being taken seriously and he had sought to redraft the summit's conclusions accordingly. Fiscal compact Enshrines balanced budget rule in law and foresees penalties for offenders Driven by Germany, which already has budget prudence written into its constitution Rejected by UK over financial service regulations that might affect the City of London Critics argue that the fiscal treaty is mainly a political gesture aimed at reassuring taxpayers in Germany, the eurozone's dominant economy, where there is reluctance to pay for further eurozone bailouts. German Chancellor Angela Merkel described it as a \"\"great leap\"\", a first step towards stability and political union. Germany is reluctant to increase the size of the permanent rescue fund, the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), which comes into force on 1 July."

These should come as no surprise to us, as they were in the original Treaty of Rome. They are not some new addition from more recent federalising treaties. These later treaties have added a common foreign and defence policy, economic and monetary union, common citizenship and criminal justice integration amongst others. These features have been opposed by Conservatives, voting against Nice, Amsterdam and Lisbon. The UK has an opt out from the Euro and is not committed to the criminal justice and defence unions. The four freedoms were effectively approved by the British people in the referendum of 1975, when people ignored voices like mine pointing out the full implications of these radical changes to our constitution. The reasons we need another referendum include the fact that many voters today were not old enough to vote or were not born in 1975, and the fact that most senior politicians in 1975 assured UK voters that they were just voting for a trade agreement or common market. They could point to the fact that in those days the UK still had a veto over any new proposal. Things have changed a lot since then."

We'd save £12million a year in fines we pay to the EU because we drive on the left (yeah thats actually a thing). Tighter border controls to cut down on immigration. Can bring back total control over UK law to parliament. save a lot of desperately needed money from not having to pay any fees to the EU.

Although the United Kingdom over which he ruled ceased to exist de facto beginning in 1822, he remained its monarch de jure between 1822 and 1825. After the recognition of Brazilian independence under the Treaty of Rio de Janeiro of 1825, he continued as King of Portugal and the Algarves until his death in 1826. Under the same treaty, he also became titular Emperor of Brazil for life, while his son, Pedro I of Brazil, was both de facto and de jure the monarch of the newly-independent country. Born in Lisbon in 1767, the son of Maria I and Peter III of Portugal, he was originally an infante (prince, but not heir to the throne) of Portugal. He only became heir to the throne when his older brother José, Prince of Brazil, died of smallpox in 1788 at the age of 27. Before his accession to the Portuguese throne, John VI bore the titles Duke of Braganza and Duke of Beja, as well as Prince of Brazil. From 1799, he served as prince regent of Portugal (and later, from 1815, as prince regent of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves), due to the mental illness of his mother, Queen Maria I. In 1816, he succeeded his mother as monarch of the Portuguese Empire, with no real change in his authority, since he already possessed absolute powers as regent. One of the last representatives of absolute monarchy in Europe, he lived during a turbulent period; his reign never saw a lasting peace. Throughout his period of rule, major powers, such as Spain, France and Great Britain, continually intervened in Portuguese affairs."

The United States had treaties with all four, but tension was high and rising. American representatives in the region wanted an American naval presence. They regularly, if less eloquently, echoed the 1793 view of their colleague in Lisbon: “When we can appear in the Ports of the various Powers, or on the Coast, of Barbary, with Ships of such force as to convince those nations that We are able to protect our trade, and to compel them if necessary to keep faith with Us, then, and not before, We may probably secure a large share of the Medit n trade, which would largely and speedily compensate the U. S. for the Cost of a maritime force amply sufficient to keep all those Pirates in Awe, and also make it their interest to keep faith.” 1 The new president was fully aware of the situation. In 1790, as Secretary of State, he had reported to Congress on the subject in some detail, and he had been directly involved in the region even earlier. 2In 1784 Congress had appointed Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin as peace commissioners to negotiate treaties of amity and commerce with the principal states of Europe and the Mediterranean — including the Barbary states. Already in Europe, the commissioners quickly learned that the Europeans made peace with the Barbary powers through treaties that involved annual payments of tribute — sometimes euphemistically called annuities."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Supremacy (European Union law))navigation search The primacy of European Union law (sometimes referred to as supremacy) is an EU law principle that when there is conflict between European law and the law of Member States, European law prevails; the norms of national law have to be set aside. This principle was developed by the European Court of Justice, and, as interpreted by that court, it means that any norms of European law always take precedence over any norms of national law, including the constitutions of member states. Although national courts generally accept the principle in practice, most of them disagree with this extreme interpretation and reserve the right, in principle, to review the constitutionality of European law under national constitutional law.

ENEL. [ 2] Mr Costa was an Italian citizen opposed to the nationalising of energy companies. Because he had shares in a private corporation subsumed by the nationalised company, ENEL, he refused to pay his electricity bill in protest. In the subsequent suit brought to Italian courts by ENEL, he argued that nationalisation infringed EC law on the State distorting the market. [ 3] The Italian government believed that this was not even an issue that could be complained about by a private individual, since it was a national law decision to make. The European Court of Justice ruled in favour of the government, because the relevant Treaty rule on an undistorted market was one on which the Commission alone could challenge the Italian government. As an individual, Mr Costa had no standing to challenge the decision, because that Treaty provision had no direct effect. ["

The United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves was formed in 1815, following the transfer of the Portuguese Court to Brazil during the Napoleonic invasions of Portugal, and it continued to exist for about one year after the return of the Court to Europe, being de facto dissolved in 1822, when Brazil proclaimed its independence. The dissolution of the United Kingdom was accepted by Portugal and formalized de jure in 1825, when Portugal recognized the independent Empire of Brazil. During its period of existence the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves did not correspond to the whole of the Portuguese Empire: rather, the united kingdom was the transatlantic metropolis that controlled the Portuguese colonial empire, with its overseas possessions in Africa and Asia. Thus, from the point of view of Brazil, the elevation to the rank of a kingdom and the creation of the United Kingdom represented a change in status, from that of a colony to that of an equal member of a political union. In the wake of the Liberal Revolution of 1820 in Portugal, attempts to compromise the autonomy and even the unity of Brazil, led to the breakdown of the union."

S.-Soviet Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, known as START I, was signed on July 31, 1991 by U. S. President George H. W. Bush and Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. START I was the first treaty to provide for deep reductions of U. S. and Soviet/Russian strategic nuclear weapons. It played an indispensable role in ensuring the predictability and stability of the strategic balance and serving as a framework for even deeper reductions. Even though many elements of START I — first and foremost the limits on the number of warheads and delivery vehicles — quickly became outdated, its verification and transparency provisions maintained their value until the treaty's last days. At the same time, START I proved to be excessively complicated, cumbersome and expensive to continue, which eventually led the United States and Russia to replace it with a new treaty in 2010. Negotiations that led to the signing of START I began in May 1982. In November 1983, the Soviet Union \"\"discontinued\"\" talks after the United States began deploying intermediate-range missiles in Europe. In January 1985, U. S. Secretary of State George Schultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrey Gromyko agreed on a new formula for three-part negotiations that encompassed strategic weapons, intermediate-range forces and missile defense. These talks received a significant boost at the Reykjavik summit between Presidents Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev. In December 1987, the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty was signed."

"text": "\"Locarno Treaties of 1925The following article is from The Great Soviet Encyclopedia (1979). It might be outdated or ideologically biased. Locarno Treaties of 1925a series of treaties on guarantees for the western borders of Germany and on arbitration. They wereinitialed on October 16 at the Locarno Conference of 1925 and signed in London on Dec. 1, 1925. The basic document of the Locarno Treaties was the Rhine pact, a general guarantee treaty between Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, and Great Britain. Great Britain and France hoped to use this pact to create an anti-Soviet bloc with the participation of Germany, as shown by the fact that the eastern German borders did not come under the system of guarantees produced at Locarno. This pactstipulated the maintenance of the territorial status quo (including the demilitarized Rhine zone) and theinviolability of German-French and German-Belgian borders, as determined by the Versailles Peace Treaty of 1919, as well as the obligation of Germany, France, and Belgium not to commit aggressionagainst one another and to resolve disputes through peaceful settlements (arbitration or judicialsolutions). The treaty was to go into effect after Germany became a member of the League of Nations (September 1926) and received a permanent seat in the Council of the League as a great power. Arbitration treaties concluded separately by Germany with France, Belgium, Poland, and Czechoslovakia supplemented the Rhine pact. Additionally, Franco-Polish and Franco-Czechguarantees were signed, under which France obligated itself to aid these two countries in the event of violation of their borders, if the League of Nations did not solve the issue by adopting certain stipulatedcollective measures."

"text": "\"Answer by Riro Confidence votes 160Ferdinand Foch said: \"\"This [the treaty signed at Versailles in 1919] is not a peace treaty, it is an armistice for twenty years,\"\" and he was right. The Treaty of Versailles was not successful, because it didn't secure peace in Europe. From 1933 on, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Regime started preparations for the next war. Some aspects of the treaty could be considered a success, however other aspects were failures. One success was the creation of the League of Nations (although Germany couldn't join, Russia did, but eventually was removed and the U. S. never joined at all, so it was merely a League of Allies), which still paved the way for diplomacy over war mongering. In addition, the principle of Self Determination first instigated in Wilson's 14 point plan was present in the treaty of Versailles motivations. This had varying success or failure, as while it gave rise to some new states giving some the national identity they desired, it redrew the borders of Europe ripping out the national identity from others who effectively changed nationality overnight. It was successful to an extent to Britain and France whom were paid reparations. It failed however in many other aspects. Germany's economy crashed and the country fell into hyper inflation, this negatively affected all of Europe as the economies of all countries were linked due to the levels of production and trade that could occur."

"text": "What were the successes and failures of the League of Nations in the 1920s? Summary The League of Nations could stop small wars and improved some people’s lives. But it could not defend the Treaty of Versailles, get disarmament, or stop powerful countries. It stopped some wars – e.g. it arbitrated between Sweden and Finland over the Aaland Islands (1921) and stopped the invasion of Bulgaria by Greece (1925). In 1928, the League arranged the Kellogg-Briand Pact, which outlawed war. The League also took 400,000 Prisoners of War home and set up refugee camps. The Health Committee worked against leprosy. The League closed down four Swiss drugs companies, and attacked slave owners. However, there were also failures. The League sometimes failed to enforce the Treaty of Versailles (e.g., the Poles captured Vilna in 1920, and Lithuania seized Memel in 1923)."

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

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The \"\"Big Three\"\" at the Yalta Conference: Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Joseph Stalin The concept of Western betrayal refers to the view that the United Kingdom and France failed to meet their legal, diplomatic, military and moral obligations with respect to the Czechoslovak and Polish nations during the prelude to and aftermath of the Second World War. It also sometimes refers to the treatment of other Central and Eastern European nations at the time. The term refers to several events, including the treatment of Czechoslovakia during the Munich Agreement and the resulting occupation by Nazi Germany, as well as the failure of France and Britain to honor its commitments to aid Poland when the country was invaded by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in 1939. The same concept also refers to the concessions made by the United States and the United Kingdom to the Soviet Union during the Tehran, Yalta, and Potsdam conferences, to their passive stance during the Warsaw Uprising against Nazi occupation, and post-war events, which allocated the region to the Soviet sphere of influence and created the communist Eastern Bloc. Historically, such views were intertwined with some of the most significant geopolitical events of the 20th century, including the rise and empowerment of the Third Reich (Nazi Germany), the rise of the Soviet Union (USSR) as a dominant superpower with control of large parts of Europe, and various treaties, alliances, and positions taken during and after World War II, and so on into the Cold War.

[ 1] [2] In Central and Eastern Europe the interpretation of the outcome of the Munich Crisis of 1938, and the Yalta Conference of 1945, as a betrayal of Central and Eastern Europe by Western powers has been used by Central and Eastern European leaders to put pressure on Western countries to acquiesce to more recent political requests such as membership in NATO. [ 3]In a few cases deliberate duplicity is alleged, whereby secret agreements or intentions are claimed to have existed in conflict with understandings given publicly. An example is Churchill's covert concordance with the USSR that the Atlantic Charter did not apply to the Baltic states. Given the strategic requirements of winning the war, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and U. S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt had no option but to accept the demands of their erstwhile ally, Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin, at Tehran, Yalta, and Potsdam, argues retired diplomat Charles G. Stefan. ["

The Treaty ended the state of war between Germany and the Allied Powers. It was signed on 28 June 1919 in Versailles, exactly five years after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand which directly lead to World War I. The other Central Powers on the German side of World War I signed separate treaties. [ 8] Although the armistice, signed on 11 November 1918, ended the actual fighting, it took six months of Allied negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference to conclude the peace treaty. The treaty was registered by the Secretariat of the League of Nations on 21 October 1919. Of the many provisions in the treaty, one of the most important and controversial required \"\"Germany [to] accept the responsibility of Germany and her allies for causing all the loss and damage\"\" during the war (the other members of the Central Powers signed treaties containing similar articles). This article, Article 231, later became known as the War Guilt clause. The treaty forced Germany to disarm, make substantial territorial concessions, and pay reparations to certain countries that had formed the Entente powers. In 1921 the total cost of these reparations was assessed at 132 billion marks (then $31.4 billion or £6.6 billion, roughly equivalent to US $442 billion or UK £284 billion in 2018)."

This article needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( October 2007) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Arms control is a term for international restrictions upon the development, production, stockpiling, proliferation and usage of small arms, conventional weapons, and weapons of mass destruction. [ 1] Arms control is typically exercised through the use of diplomacy which seeks to impose such limitations upon consenting participants through international treaties and agreements, although it may also comprise efforts by a nation or group of nations to enforce limitations upon a non-consenting country.

[ 2] Some are used as ways to stop the spread of certain military technologies (such as nuclear weaponry or missile technology) in return for assurances to potential developers that they will not be victims of those technologies. Additionally, some arms control agreements are entered to limit the damage done by warfare, especially to civilians and the environment, which is seen as bad for all participants regardless of who wins a war. While arms control treaties are seen by many peace proponents as a key tool against war, by the participants, they are often seen as simply ways to limit the high costs of the development and building of weapons, and even reduce the costs associated with war itself."

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

"text": "The Treaty of Waitangi has two texts. The Māori version is not an exact translation of the English. There has been much debate over the differences – how they came to be and what they mean. Some people argue that there are two treaties: te Tiriti, the Māori version, and the Treaty, the English version. At the time the Treaty was signed, it is not clear how much notice was taken of the precise wording. Differing opinions Some people argue that the Treaty was prepared hastily and by amateurs who, intentionally or otherwise, used language that conveyed a particular meaning in Māori. Others say that the instructions that Lieutenant-Governor William Hobson received from the British were careful, especially concerning land; Hobson and his advisors knew exactly what they were doing when they drafted the English text of the Treaty, and they had previous treaties to guide them. The Māori text was translated quickly but by men who were familiar with the language. The missionary Māori they used was known to the chiefs, and it conveyed key words and meanings. Henry Williams and the chiefs had spent much of the night of 5 February talking about the Treaty and its meanings."

Dawes to re-examine reparations in Germany; the committee made a series of recommendations known as the Dawes Plan (1924)The plan having been accepted by France, Germany, and Britain stated that German reparations were to be reduced and placed on a sliding scale, like income tax, payments depending on the level of German economic prosperity The Dawes Plane also recommended large loans to Germany, which came U. S.; these loans were to help Stresemann’s government put its new currency on a firm basis and promote German recovery; Germany would get private loans from the U. S. and pay reparations to France and Britain, allowing them to repay the U. S. The German republic experienced a spectacular economic recovery and Germany easily paid about 1.3 billion dollars in reparations in 1927 and 1928In 1929 the Young Plan, named after the American businessman representing the U. S., further reduced German reparations and formalized the link between German reparations and French-British debts to the United States (worldwide recovery)In 1925 the leaders of Europe signed a number of agreements at Locarno, Switzerland Stresemann had suggested a treaty with France’s Aristide Briand (returned to office in 1924) and by this treaty, Germany and France pledged to accept their common border, and both Britain and Italy agreed to fight either country it if invaded the other Stresemann also agreed to settle boundary disputes with Poland and Czechoslovakia by peaceful means and France promised those countries military aid if they were attacked by Germany Stresemann and Briand shared Nobel Peace Prize in 1926; the spirit of Locarno gave Europeans a sense of growing security and stability in international affairs In 1926 Germany joined the League of Nations, where Stresemann continued his “peace offensive” and in 1928 fifteen countries signed the Kellogg-Briand Pact, which “condemned and renounced war as an instrument of national policy”The pact grew out of a suggestion by Briand that France and the United States renounce the possibility of war between their two countries; Secretary of State Frank Kellogg had proposed a multinational pact; optimism rested on hope that United States would accept its responsibilities as a world power and contribute to stability Hope in Democratic Government In Germany in 1923 communists momentarily entered provincial governments and in November a nobody named Adolf Hitler proclaimed a “national socialist revolution” but Hitler’s plot to seize control of the government was poorly organized and easily crushed, and Hitler was sentenced to prison (wrote My Struggle in prison)Throughout the 1920s, Hitler’s National Socialist party attracted support only from few anti-Semites, ultranationalists, and disgruntled ex-servicemen; democracy seemed to take root in Weimar Germany, new currency, and economy boomed The moderate businessmen who tended to dominate the various German coalition governments were convinced that economic prosperity demanded good relations with the Western powers and supported parliamentary government at home Although elections were held regularly, there were political divisions in the country Many nationalists and monarchists populated the right and the army; Germany’s Communists were active on the right and the Communist, directed from Moscow, reserved their greatest hatred for the Social Democrats (betrayed revolution)The working class were divided politically, but most supported the nonrevolutionary but socialist Social Democrats (similar to France’s situation)In France, Communists and Socialists battled for the support of the workers and after 1924 the democratically elected government rested in the hands of coalitions of moderates, and business interests were well represented The expenses, however, led to a large deficit and substantial inflation; Poincare was recalled to office, while Briand remained minister for foreign affairs The Poincare government proceeded to slash spending and raise taxes, restoring confidence in economy; franc was “saved” and good times prevailed until 1930Despite political shortcomings, France attracted artists and writers from all over the world in the 1920s (much of intellectual and artistic ferment flourished in Paris); France appealed to foreigners and the French as a harmonious combination of small businesses and family farms, of bold innovation and solid traditions Britain faced challenges after 1920; wartime trend toward greater social equality continued helping maintain social harmony but the great problem was unemployment In June 1921, 23 percent of the labor force were out of work and throughout the 1920s unemployment hovered at around 12 percent; the state provided unemployment benefits of equal size to all those without jobs and supplemented those payments with subsidized housing, medical aid, and old-age pensions Relative social harmony was accompanied by the rise of the Labour party as the determined champion of the working classes and of greater social equality Committed to the kind of moderate, “revisionist” socialism, the Labour party replaced the Liberal party as the main opposition to the C"

This was written by your classmate, Ori Izhaki. Why did the British feel they have the right to impose the Treaty of Nanjing on China after the First Opium War, and why was this treaty so unusual?

Some long-term causes of World War II are found in the conditions preceding World War I and seen as common for both World Wars. Supporters of this view paraphrase Carl von Clausewitz: World War II was a continuation of World War I by the same means. In fact, World Wars had been expected before Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler came to power and Japan invaded China. [ 1]Among the causes of World War II were Italian fascism in the 1920s, Japanese militarism and invasions of China in the 1930s, and especially the political takeover in 1933 of Germany by Hitler and his Nazi Party and its aggressive foreign policy. The immediate cause was Britain and France declaring war on Germany after it invaded Poland in September 1939. Problems arose in Weimar Germany that experienced strong currents of revanchism after the Treaty of Versailles that concluded its defeat in World War I in 1918."

"text": "\"List of Chinese provinces and regions Book a Hotel In Out Check Rates This article is a travel topic China 's system of political geography differs somewhat from that in other countries. Most of it is broken up into provinces (省), but there are several other geographic units of the same hierarchical rank as provinces: Various ethnic groups have autonomous regions (自治区), although their autonomy is far from complete. For the traveler, these can generally be thought of as provinces, but in political discussions the distinction may be important. Four of the larger municipalities (市) are not part of provinces, but independent entities whose leaders report directly to Beijing. The smallest of these, Tianjin, has a population well over 10 million. The largest, Chongqing, has over 30 million residents. Hong Kong, Macau, and Wolong are special administrative regions (SARs， 特别行政区). Both Hong Kong and Macau are former colonies — Hong Kong British and Macau Portuguese — that rejoined China in the late 90s. Their economies and distinct political systems are allowed to flourish under separate regulatory regimes from the Mainland under the slogan \"\"One country, two systems\"\". The SARs have their own currencies, issue their own visas, and elect their own representative assemblies through a combination of direct and indirect representation."

WHY IT MATTERS NOW China has become an increasingly important member of the global community. TERMS & NAMES • Opium War • extraterritorial rights • Taiping Rebellion• sphere of influence • Open Door Policy • Boxer Rebellion SETTING THE STAGE Out of pride in their ancient culture, the Chinese lookeddown on all foreigners. In 1793, however, the Qing emperor agreed to receive an ambassador from England. The Englishman brought gifts of the West’s most advanced technology—clocks, globes, musical instruments, and even a hot-air balloon. The emperor was not impressed. In a letter to England’s King George III, he stated that the Chinese already had everything they needed. They were not interested in the “strange objects” and gadgets that the West was offering them. China and the West TAKING NOTESChina was able to reject these offers from the West because it was largely selfsufficient. The basis of this self-sufficiency was China’s healthy agricultural economy."

What happens when there is a trade imbalance between two major trading countries? Just ask Great Britain and China. It's hard to get by when the country you need goods from does not really need to trade goods with you. This is what happened with Great Britain and the Qing Dynasty. There was a high demand for China's tea in Great Britain but a low demand for Britain's goods in China. Great Britain was in debt with China and they had to do something to get out. As a result, they turned to selling silver to make the imbalance better. China could care less about Great Britain's silver so Great Britain was still behinds in payments. When selling silver did not work they began selling opium."

A violent storm struck and rain pounded the windows with such force that water seeped into the cabins, survivor Zhang Hui told Xinhua, China's state-run news agency. The ship began tilting, Zhang told the agency, reaching an angle of 45 degrees at one point. Small bottles rolled off the table in his cabin. \"\" Looks like we are in trouble,\"\" he remembers telling a colleague. When the ship with more than 450 people aboard overturned late Monday, he said, it happened so quickly he only had 30 seconds to grab a life jacket and get out of his cabin. He went into the dark and choppy waters of the Yangtze River during the middle of the storm, later confirmed to be a tornado. \"\""

Although particular attention is paid to the four years of Chinese Communist Revolution from 1945 to 1949, the war actually started in August 1927, with the White Terror at the end of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek 's Northern Expedition, and essentially ended when major hostilities between the two sides ceased in 1950. [ 9] The conflict took place in two stages: the first between 1927 and 1937, and the second from 1946 to 1950, with the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937–1945 separating them. The war marked a major turning point in modern Chinese history, with the Communists gaining control of mainland China and establishing the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949 and forced the Republic of China (ROC) to retreat to Taiwan. It resulted in a lasting political and military standoff between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, with the ROC in Taiwan and the PRC on mainland China with both officially claiming to be the legitimate government of all China. The war represented an ideological split between the communist CPC and the nationalist KMT."

His general Xu Da invaded and secured Shanxi and Shaanxi in 1369. Then the Ming army attacked the fleeing Mongols. Yuan emperor Toghon Temur died in 1370 and was succeeded by his son Ayushiridara; but as he fled to Outer Mongolia, 50,000 Mongol warriors were captured along with the Empress and his son Maidiribala. After putting a Ming commander in chains for a defeat, Xu Da overcame Koko's army, which lost a reported 84,000 soldiers as Koko fled. Emperor Hongwu gave hereditary titles to 34 generals, nine of whom were enemy generals who had surrendered. His oldest son was heir apparent, and his next nine sons were given princely estates.

"text": "\"The best answer to any question. July 7 2014 12:06 PMWhat Sparked Japan's Aggression During World War II? By Quora Contributor A Japanese print showing three men, including Commodore Matthew Perry at center, who opened up Japan to the West. Courtesy of Library of Congress/ Wikimedia Commons This question originally appeared on Quora. Answer by Harold Kingsberg: Advertisement The short version: Japan's actions from 1852 to 1945 were motivated by a deep desire to avoid the fate of 19 th -century China and to become a great power. For Japan, World War II grew from a conflict historians call the Second Sino-Japanese War. The Second Sino-Japanese War began in earnest in 1937 with a battle called the Marco Polo Bridge Incident. However, before this, there had been years of border clashes between the Japanese and the Chinese, having started with the 1931 Japanese invasion of Manchuria. So, to explain Japan's behavior in the years from 1941 to 1945, we have to explain why Japan invaded Manchuria in 1931, and in order to do this, we have to go back to 1853. Before 1852, Japan was isolationist."

"text": "The first Opium Warand its aftermath In February 1840 the British government decided to launch a military expedition, and Elliot and his cousin, George (later Sir George) Elliot, were appointed joint plenipotentiaries to China (though the latter, in poor health, resigned in November). In June, 16 British warships arrived in Hong Kong and sailed northward to the mouth of the Bei River to press China with their demands. Charles Elliot entered into negotiations with the Chinese, and, although an agreement was reached in January 1841, it was not acceptable to either government. In May 1841 the British attacked the walled city of Guangzhou ( Canton) and received a ransom of $6 million, which provoked a counterattack on the part of the Cantonese. This was the beginning of a continuing conflict between the British and the Cantonese. The Qing had no effective tactics against the powerful British navy. They retaliated merely by setting burning rafts on the enemy’s fleet and encouraging people to take the heads of the enemies, for which they offered a prize. The imperial banner troops, although they sometimes fought fiercely, were ill-equipped and lacked training for warfare against the more-modern British forces. The Green Standard battalions were similarly in decay and without much motivation or good leadership. To make up the weakness, local militias were urgently recruited, but they were useless."

The Qing Dynasty (1644–1912) was the last Chinese dynasty, and the longest dynasty ruled by foreigners (the Manchus from Manchuria, northeast of the Great Wall). The Qing Dynasty had the most overseas contact, though it was mostly resisted. China glories in the prosperity of the Qing Golden Age, but remembers with shame the forced trade and unequal treaties later in the Qing era. Simple Facts to Understand the Qing Dynasty The Manchu-led Qing Dynasty was preceded by the Han-led Ming Dynasty (1368–1644). The Qing capital was Beijing, where emperors continued to rule from the Forbidden City. In the age of exploration/colonialization, China remained isolated and expanded its borders and population. In the age of industrialization, China remained traditional and undeveloped. The dynasty prospered initially, but became increasingly fraught with disasters and attacks toward the end. It lasted 268 years, the fifth longest imperial dynasty, despite many uprisings against the Manchu rulers."

Ultimately, the war resulted in the USSR and the USA becoming superpowers, the British Empire being dismantled (alongside the other colonial empires as Europe was in no shape to lead anything), and Germany, Italy and Japan making cars.

From China to the Muslim states to Africa, virtually all other parts of the world became the \"\"have nots \"\" to the west's \"\"haves.\"\" With political and economic dominance came control in cultural and artistic areas as well. NEW EUROPEAN NATIONSA major political development inspired by growing nationalism was the consolidation of small states into two important new nations: Italy - Before the second half of the 19th century, Italy was a collection of city-states that were only loosely allied with one another. A unification movement was begun in the north by Camillo di Cavour, and in the north by Giuseppe Garibaldi. As states unified one by one, the two leaders joined, and Italy became a unified nation under King Vittore Emmanuele II. The movement was a successful attempt to escape the historical domination of the peninsula by Spain in the south and Austria in the north. Germany - The German Confederation was created by the Congress of Vienna in 1815, but it had been controlled by the Austrian and Prussian Empires. In 1848 major rebellions broke out within the confederation, inspired by liberals who envisioned a German nation ruled by parliamentary government. The revolutions failed, and many liberals fled the country, but they proved to be an excuse for the Prussian army to invade other parts of the Confederation."

The provisions of the treaty required the Chinese to pay the British for losses during the war, give the British the island of Hong Kong, and open five ports to foreign trade. In addition, British citizens in China were granted immunity from Chinese laws. British citizens in China were allowed to live under British laws and if they committed a crime on Chinese soil, they could only be tried in British courts.

"text": "\"Yuan Shikai (courtesy Wèitíng 慰亭; pseudonym: Róng'ān 容庵, also named after birthplace Yuán Xiàngchéng 袁項城) (16 September 1859 – 6 June 1916) was an important Chinese general and politician, famous for his influence during the late qing dynasty, his role in the events leading up to the abdication of the last Qing Emperor of China, his autocratic rule as the second President of the Republic of China (following Sun Yatsen), and his short-lived attempt to revive the Chinese monarchy, with himself as the \"\"Great Emperor of China. \"\" Early life Yuan Shikai was born in the village of Zhangying (張營村), Xiangcheng County, Chenzhou Prefecture, Henan, though the clan later moved 16 kilometers southeast of Xiangcheng to a hilly area that was easier to defend. There the Yuans had built a fortified village, Yuanzhaicun (Chinese: 袁寨村; literally \"\"the fortified village of the Yuan family\"\"). Yuan's family was affluent enough to provide Yuan with a traditional Confucian education. As a young man he enjoyed riding, boxing, and entertainment with friends. Though hoping to pursue a career in the civil service, he failed the Imperial examinations twice, leading him to decide an entry into politics through the Huai Army, where many of his relatives served. His career began by purchasing a minor official title in 1880, which was a common method of official promotion in the late Qing. Using his father's connections, Yuan travelled to Tengzhou, Shandong , and sought a post in the Qing Brigade. Yuan's first marriage was in 1876 to a woman of the Yu family who bore him a first son, Keding, in 1878. Yuan Shikai married nine further concubines throughout the course of his life."

G. Tiedemann gives a survey of the factors behind the ignominious Opium Wars that the U. K. fought and won 150 years ago, first published in China Now magazine 1989. See also Opium in China In 1997 the colony of Hong Kong was returned to China. Hong Kong Island became a British possession as a direct result of the Opium War, the opening shots of which were fired 150 years ago. All Chinese, regardless of political ideology, have condemned this armed confrontation as an unjust and immoral contest. As far as they are concerned, Britian's waging a war for the sake of selling a poisonous drug constitutes the most shameful leaf of human history. In the hindsight provided by subsequent events in China, it is, perhaps, easy to condemn this act of British aggression, but it is less certain that the event was seen in the same condemnatory light by Chinese and foreign observers a century and a half ago. The 'Canton system' and the opium trade It is often said that the 'Opium War' was not fought over opium but in the name of free trade, as well as diplomatic and judicial equality with China. Since the eighteenth century, the Chinese government had imposed severe restrictions on foreign trade, and was both suspicious and contemptuous of foreigners. At Guangzhou (Canton), which was the only port open to foreign commerce, the exclusive right to deal with Westerners was held by a group of licensed merchants known as the Co-hong."

The founding of modern China in 1949 marked the end of more than a century of foreign aggression and civil war. At the time, the British government was prepared to leave Hong Kong, as it knew it could not confront the People’s Liberation Army. Yet, the PLA stopped short at the Lo Wu frontier and did not try to drive British soldiers out of Hong Kong, as Chairman Mao decided to wait out the Brits till 1997 and leave a \"\"window“ to the West. Britain was reluctant to return Hong Kong even after 1997 and contemplated the use of nuclear threat against China after successfully detonating their first nuclear device in 1952 [1] . Nonetheless this leverage over China was negated when China subsequently detonate her first nuclear device in 1964. Margaret Thatcher tried to dissuade Deng Xiaoping by saying that returning Hong Kong to China will hurt investors confidence and crash HK’s economy [2] , but it was rebuffed by the Chinese side, she would later be remembered for falling down at the steps of the Hall of the People after some tough negotiation In 1984.

Flag What was the Treaty of Kanagawa? Answer by Ranger22 Confidence votes 28.7KAlso called Perry Convention (March 31, 1854), Japan's first treaty with a Western nation. Concluded by representatives of the United States and Japan at Kanagawa (now part of Yokohama), it marked the end of Japan's period of seclusion (1639-1854). The treaty was signed as a result of pressure from U. S. Commodore Matthew C. Perry, who sailed into Tokyo Bay with a fleet of warships in July 1853 and demanded that the Japanese open their ports to U. S. ships for supplies. Perry then left Japan in order to give the government a few months to consider its decision. When he returned in February 1854, the Japanese, aware that none of their armaments was a match for Perry's warships, agreed to admit U. S. ships to the ports of Shimoda and Hakodate and to accept a U. S. consul at Shimoda. The Treaty of Kanagawa was the first of the treaties signed between Japan and other Western countries in the 19th century.68 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

In the 60 years following the Empress of China’s voyage, relations among U. S. citizens and Chinese were private and largely commercial.

Prior to this, the United States had dispatched consuls to Guangzhou as early as 1784—the first was Samuel Shaw, the supercargo on the Empress of China—but these had never been formally received by Chinese officials as state representatives.

The Great Wall was more crucial than ever in protecting China from northern invasion during the Ming era.1644: The dynasty ended when peasant rebellion from the south led to the Great Wall gates being opened to the Manchurians, who initiated the Qing Dynasty (1644–1912)."

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was an oppositional state based in Tianjing (present-day Nanjing) with a Christian millenarian agenda to initiate a major transformation of society. A self-proclaimed convert to Christianity, Hong Xiuquan led an army that controlled a significant part of southern China during the middle of the 19th century, eventually expanding to command a population base of nearly 30 million people. Devolving into total war —with any and all civilian-associated resources and infrastructure as legitimate military targets—the conflict was the largest in China since the Qing conquest in 1644, and it also ranks as one of the bloodiest wars in human history, the bloodiest civil war, and the largest conflict of the 19th century, with estimates of the war dead ranging from 20–70 million to as high as 100 million, with millions more displaced. [ 5]The war was mostly fought in the provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi and Hubei, but over 14 years of war the Taiping Army had marched through every province of China proper except Gansu. The Taiping Rebellion began in the southern province of Guangxi when local officials launched a campaign of religious persecution against a millenarian sect known as the God Worshipping Society led by Hong Xiuquan, who believed himself to be the younger brother of Jesus Christ. The goals of the Taipings were religious, nationalist, and political in nature; they sought the conversion of the Chinese people to the Taiping's version of Christianity, the overthrow of the ruling Manchus, and a wholesale transformation and reformation of the state. [ 6] [7] Rather than simply supplanting the ruling class, the Taipings sought to upend the moral and social order of China. [ 8]Hostilities began on January 1, 1851, when the Qing Green Standard Army launched an attack against the God Worshipping Society at the town of Jintian, Guangxi."

Although particular attention is paid to the four years of Chinese Communist Revolution from 1945 to 1949, the war actually started in August 1927, with the White Terror at the end of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek 's Northern Expedition, and essentially ended when major hostilities between the two sides ceased in 1950. [ 9] The conflict took place in two stages: the first between 1927 and 1937, and the second from 1946 to 1950, with the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937–1945 separating them. The war marked a major turning point in modern Chinese history, with the Communists gaining control of mainland China and establishing the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949 and forced the Republic of China (ROC) to retreat to Taiwan. It resulted in a lasting political and military standoff between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, with the ROC in Taiwan and the PRC on mainland China with both officially claiming to be the legitimate government of all China. The war represented an ideological split between the communist CPC and the nationalist KMT."

Societies have sought to dominate weaker neighbors as long ago as ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, all the way through to the present. Motivations have been similar - to obtain natural resources, to subdue enemies, to accrue wealth, to win power and glory - but until the rise of the west, most empires have expanded to territories next to their borders. With the combination of sea power, centralized governments, and industrialized economies, European nations set out to build empires all over the world, like none that had been seen before. They were driven by the need to provide raw materials for their industrial capacity, and the types of goods exchanged were determined by that need. TYPES OF IMPERIALISMEuropeans began building their empires in the western hemisphere in the early 1500s, but by the 1800s,Spain and Portugal were no longer powerful countries, and the largest British colony had become the United States. Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and the Netherlands continued to colonize during this era, but they also devised other ways to spread their empires. In the late 19th century Japan and the United States joined the European nations as an imperialist power. Types of imperialism in the 1800s included: Colonial imperialism - This form of imperialism is virtual complete takeover of an area, with domination in all areas: economic, political, and socio-cultural. The subjugated area existed to benefit the imperialist power, and had almost no independence of action."

He fought in the Civil War and then was elected to the House of Representatives, where he served from 1876 to 1890. From 1892 to 1896 he was governor of Ohio. Nominated by the Republicans for the presidency in 1896, Mc Kinley was elected and served from 1897 until he was assassinated in 1901. During his four and a half years in office, a dispute with Spain over the rebellion of Cuba against the Spanish led to war in 1898. That conflict, in turn, resulted in an American victory and the negotiation of a peace treaty in Paris. The outcome of the war led to America’s acquisition of Guam, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico. Mc Kinley was reelected to the presidency in 1900. He was shot by an anarchist sympathizer on September 6, 1901, and died on September 14, 1901. Mc Kinley was the first modern president."

In the terms of the treaty, France gave up all its territories in mainland North America, effectively ending any foreign military threat to the British colonies there. The Treaty of Paris, 1763During the war, British forces had scored important overseas victories against France: not only had the British conquered French Canada, they also won victories in India, and captured French island colonies in the Caribbean. In March of 1762, French King Louis XV issued a formal call for peace talks. The British Government was also interested in ending the war. The Seven Years’ War had been enormously expensive, and the Government had to finance the war with debt. Creditors were beginning to doubt Great Britain’s ability to pay back the loans it had floated on financial markets. In addition, British King George II had died in 1760, and his successor George III was more amenable to ending the war. Initial attempts at negotiating a peace settlement failed, and instead French and Spanish diplomats signed the Family Compact, a treaty that brought Spain into the war against Britain. British Prime Minister Lord Bute continued secret and informal talks with French diplomat Étienne-François de Stainville, duc de Choiseul, and they came to an unofficial agreement in June, 1762."

Schaefer analyzes a broad range of foreign policy issues, focusing primarily on international organizations and sub-Saharan Africa. Read his research. Supporters of the Paris Agreement have expressed considerable angst over President Donald Trump’s decision to leave the climate agreement last week. Regardless of the merits of that decision—although for the record, Heritage Foundation analysts recommended that the U. S. withdraw—Trump should not have had to make that call. The Paris Agreement had all the hallmarks of a treaty and should have been submitted by President Barack Obama to the Senate for advice and consent, as required under Article II of the U. S. Constitution. Instead, Obama signed the Paris Agreement as an executive agreement. He was able to do so because of ambiguity over how international agreements are implemented in the United States. There are different types of international agreements: treaties, executive agreements, and congressional-executive agreements. Precisely which agreements constitute treaties requiring Senate advice and consent in accordance with Article II of the Constitution, and which do not, is not always clear."

The Paris Peace Conference was the meeting of the Allied victors following the end of World War I to set the peace terms for the defeated Central Powers following the armistices of 1918. It took place in Paris during 1919 and involved diplomats from more than 32 countries and nationalities. The \"\" Big Four \"\" were the President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson; the Prime Minister of Great Britain, David Lloyd George; the Prime Minister of France, Georges Clemenceau; and the Prime Minister of Italy, Vittorio Orlando. They met together informally 145 times and made all the major decisions, which in turn were ratified by the others. [ 1]The major decisions were the creation of the League of Nations; the five peace treaties with defeated enemies, most notable the Treaty of Versailles with Germany; the awarding of German and Ottoman overseas possessions as \"\"mandates,\"\" chiefly to Britain and France; reparations imposed on Germany, and the drawing of new national boundaries (sometimes with plebiscites) to better reflect the forces of nationalism. The main result was the Treaty of Versailles, with Germany, which in section 231 laid the guilt for the war on \"\"the aggression of Germany and her allies.\"\" This provision proved humiliating for Germany and set the stage for very high reparations Germany was supposed to pay (it paid only a small portion before reparations ended in 1931). Germany and Communist Russia were not invited to attend, but numerous other nations did send delegations, each with a different agenda. Kings, prime ministers and foreign ministers with their crowds of advisers rubbed shoulders with journalists and lobbyists for a hundred causes, ranging from independence for the countries of the South Caucasus to Japan's demand for racial equality ."

Croatti looks further back at another pivotal, yet mostly ignored, chapter of American history. This Saturday, Croatti has organized an all-day National Treaty of Paris Festival in downtown Annapolis. The series of events are intended to encourage area residents and visitors to rediscover the \"\"Treaty of Paris Period,\"\" the years between 1783 and 1787. The festival is focusing on the crucial role Annapolis played during the four-year span bridging the signing of the Treaty of Paris on September 5, 1783, officially ending the Revolutionary War, and the convening of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia on May 14, 1787. \"\" It's a void that gets skipped in history classes because it doesn't have a war or anything interesting,\"\" said Croatti. Between those years, General George Washington resigned as head of the Army at the Maryland State House in December 1783, Great Britain recognized the independence of its 13 former colonies, Thomas Jefferson was appointed a minister to France, and Shay's Rebellion, a 10-month uprising in Massachusetts, pointed out the dire need for a reform of the Articles of Confederation."

The Treaty ended the state of war between Germany and the Allied Powers. It was signed on 28 June 1919 in Versailles, exactly five years after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand which directly lead to World War I. The other Central Powers on the German side of World War I signed separate treaties. [ 8] Although the armistice, signed on 11 November 1918, ended the actual fighting, it took six months of Allied negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference to conclude the peace treaty. The treaty was registered by the Secretariat of the League of Nations on 21 October 1919. Of the many provisions in the treaty, one of the most important and controversial required \"\"Germany [to] accept the responsibility of Germany and her allies for causing all the loss and damage\"\" during the war (the other members of the Central Powers signed treaties containing similar articles). This article, Article 231, later became known as the War Guilt clause. The treaty forced Germany to disarm, make substantial territorial concessions, and pay reparations to certain countries that had formed the Entente powers. In 1921 the total cost of these reparations was assessed at 132 billion marks (then $31.4 billion or £6.6 billion, roughly equivalent to US $442 billion or UK £284 billion in 2018)."

"text": "\"Peace of Amiens 1801By Robert Markley The French revolution instigated a 25-year storm that swept up all Europe and whose winds reached to the far corners of the earth. In the middle of the hurricane gusts and squalls came a lull. The Treaty of Amiens between Britain the last protagonist of the revolutionary wars, and Napoleon Bonaparte the leader of France's new government, was a time of peace both for temporary restoration and for the consolidation of a new order. However like the eye of a hurricane, it was only a temporary respite before the winds renewed with a ferocity even greater than before. Is this a correct analogy? There are a number of possibilities to be floated: Was the pacification of Europe consummated by the Treaty of Amiens truly an interlude in one endless struggle (was the whole war just one episode in the contest for Europe and the world? ), or should another interpretation be used? Perhaps Amiens was more correctly a gap between a Revolutionary storm that finally blew itself out before a Napoleonic storm gathered itself? Or was the peace itself illusionary and representing simply a new phase; either a shift from hot to cold war or alternatively an experiment in appeasement after both sides had been worn down by confrontation? The fact of the matter is, Amiens hasn't received much attention at all."

The Versailles Peace Treaty ending World War I was signed on June 28, 1919, about 7 months after the Armistice stopping the fighting on November 11, 1918. It was one of the most important treaties of the 20th century. President Wilson after submitting a Draft Covenant for a League of Nations on February 14, 1919, left Paris on February 15, returning to the United States. He sought to promote the League which he saw as the central feature of the Versailles Peace Treaty and a \"\"world made safe for democracy\"\" without the scourge of war. Upon arriving in Boston on February 15, he gives his first speech promoting the League. Wilson met with highly skeptical Congressional leaders over dinner on February 26. Key Republican leader, Republican Majority Leader and Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Henry Cabot Lodge, in a February 28 speech rejected the principle of mutual guarantee in the Wilson proposal, but not the League outright. With Wilson's refusal to compromise, the Senate overwhelming rejected the Treaty by wide margins in two votes on November 19. The Senate rejected the Treaty with the 14 Lodge reservations 39-55."

"text": "\"Previous (Paris Opera Ballet) Next (Park Chung-hee)The Paris Peace Conference of 1919 was a conference organized by the victors of World War I to negotiate the peace treaties between the Allied and Associated Powers and the defeated Central Powers, that concluded with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. The conference opened on January 18, 1919 and lasted until January 21, 1920 with a few intervals. It operated, while it lasted, as a world government [1]. Much of the work of the Conference involved deciding which of the Allied powers would administer territories formerly under German and Ottoman rule, introducing the concept of \"\"trusteeship\"\" into international law - territories considered unable to govern themselves are entrusted to another state, whose mandate is to build the nation, creating the necessary foundations for self-determination and independence. Most of the decisions of which power received which territory, however, had already been made, for example, by the Sykes-Picot Agreement of May 16, 1917 [2]. As Mac Millan points out, no one thought to consult the people of these territories about how they wished to be governed, with very few exceptions [3] The results of this division of territory continues to impact the world today since it resulted in the British Mandate of Palestine and in the creation of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan as nation states. The Conference also imposed huge reparations on Germany. Some countries, such as France wanted to impose more sanctions but neither the British Prime Minister, David Lloyd George, or the U. S. President, Woodrow Wilson, wanted to cripple Germany. Most historians argue, however, that the sanctions humiliated Germany and placed too great an economic burden on the country, making, as Lloyd George predicted, another war inevitable. The League of Nations was established at the Conference, the first attempt at an international intergovemental organization, with a brief to prevent war, settle disputes and improve peoples' lives across the globe. Just as World War I was believed by many to be the war that would end all war, so the Conference was meant to bring lasting peace. Unfortunately, it sowed seeds that resulted not only in World War II but in subsequent conflicts such as the Lebanese Civil War and the Arab-Israeli Conflict."

De Cesar and Susan Page The velvet cover of the French exchange copy of the Louisiana Purchase Treaty is embroidered \"\"P. F.\"\" for \"\"Peuple Français.\"\" ( General Records of the United States Government, RG 11)Two centuries ago this spring— without a call to arms, with little advance notice, and with only the briefest negotiations— the United States doubled in size. In an astounding transaction that amounted to four cents an acre, President Thomas Jefferson saw his dreams of westward expansion coming true for the nation he had helped create. The United States of America would grow beyond the Mississippi River and include the rich forests, vast plains, and craggy mountains that would one day yield the vital resources to make it the most powerful and most prosperous nation on earth. The historic transaction is known as the Louisiana Purchase, but it was not something that Jefferson had sought to make at the time. He would have been content just to buy the port of New Orleans so the United States— not Spain, not France, certainly not Great Britain— could control the gateway to the Mississippi River, the main street of commerce in what was then the American West. But France's ruler at the time, Napoleon Bonaparte, was losing interest in establishing a North American empire and needed funds to fight the British, so he directed his emissaries to offer not just New Orleans but all of the Louisiana Territory to the Americans. Jefferson's envoys in Paris, without awaiting any direction from their President (which would have taken two months), accepted the deal and on April 30, 1803, signed the Louisiana Purchase Treaty."

"text": "Lessons from History? The Paris Peace Conference of 1919By: Margaret Mac Millan Historians are always reluctant to draw lessons from history, and with good reason. History has been so often abused to support outrageous policies, to promote extravagant claims to territory or to explain away bad decisions. We all know how nationalist movements have created, and indeed been the creation of, highly selective histories. We have seen in the recent past how reference to, for example, appeasement can be used to justify actions in contexts which are not at all like that of the 1930s. Nevertheless I am going to break the rules of the Historians’ Guild and see whether the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 offers any useful suggestions for today. The word ‘lessons’ is perhaps too strong, but history can offer us instructive analogies. It can help us to formulate useful questions about our own times. And it can provide warnings: we are on thin ice here, there are dangerous beasts over there. Since the end of the Cold War, our world has become an increasingly complicated and troubling one."

It was signed in Paris by Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and John Jay, representing the United States, together with David Hartley, representing Great Britain. The 1783 Treaty was one of a series of treaties signed at Paris that also established peace between Great Britain and the allied nations of France, Spain, and the Netherlands. Under the terms of the treaty, Britain recognized the independent nation of the United States of America. Britain agreed to remove all of its troops from the new nation. The treaty also set new borders for the United States, including all land from the Great Lakes on the north to Florida on the south, and from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River. The Unites States was also granted access to the fisheries off the coast of Newfoundland. The United States agreed to allow British troops still in America to leave and also agreed to pay all existing money owed to Great Britain."

D. by the Visigoths, a Teutonic tribe from northern Europe and the conquerors of the Roman Empire. In 711, however, the Visigoths fell to the Moors, North African Muslims of mixed Berber-Arab heritage with roots in Mauritania. Their regime became one of the most culturally advanced in Europe. Religious toleration was established, but many of the indigenous people converted to Islam. In succeeding centuries, Christian princes on the peninsula and neighboring co-religionists took up the cause of expelling the Moors from Europe (the Iberian Reconquista ); for many the cause became a major pillar of their faith. This aim became coupled with an interest in exploration. Many Portuguese held a popular belief in the existence of Prester John, a semi-legendary Christian monarch, who was believed to be holding out against surrounding Muslim forces somewhere in Africa. It was hoped that explorations would locate the besieged forces, which would then join with Portuguese armies and expel the Moors from their lands. As a small nation, Portugal may have appeared to be an unlikely leader in exploration and navigational science. Its geographical position, however, helped to shape its course."

The coming weekend might very well be an historic one for Franco-Brazilian relations. Nicolas Sarkozy will be in French Guiana to deliver his annual New Year’s address to France’s overseas territories, in which he is likely to announce the opening of the bridge across the Oyapock River, French Guiana’s border with Brazil. When the 1,240-ft-long, cable-stayed construction is finally be open for business, it will do more than connect the towns of Saint-Georges-de-l’Oyapock and Oiapoque, on the French and Brazilian banks of the river, respectively. The bridge will establish the first road link between France and Brazil, not to mention the first overland connection between the European Union and the Americas [1]. French Guiana – despite being a French département, the rough equivalent of an American county – is marooned on South America’s northern shore, and suffers accordingly from low name recognition. It is easily confused with Ghana, across the Atlantic, with any of the countries with “Guinea” in their name [2] or any of the other contiguous Guyanas, of which there are two to five, depending on how you define a “Guyana”: to the west of French Guiana is Suriname, which was also called Dutch Guiana before independence in 1975, and to the west of that is British Guiana, which since independence in 1966 has been known simply as Guyana; the areas flanking these three, now parts of Venezuela and Brazil, were sometimes called Spanish Guyana and Portuguese Guyana [3]. Joe Burgess/The New York Times The area’s relative obscurity is not just name-related. With a combined population of less than 1.5 million, the Guyana Three are hardly a hotspot for news. If you know three things about French Guiana, it’s probably these: there’s a pepper (and a Porsche) named after its capital, Cayenne; the notorious French penal colony of Devil’s Island [4] was located off its shore; and it’s the site of the European Space Agency’s spaceport, at Kourou. Suriname? Two things: the Netherlands traded it with the English for New Amsterdam [5], and it’s the only Dutch-speaking country outside of Europe."

About 10 million years ago, the North America that we know today was formed (geographical shape). The first discoverers of North America were nomadic Asians who wandered over here by way of an exposed land bridge from Russia to Alaska during the Ice Age. Though they were hunters at first, by 5000 BC, they had become hunter-gatherers with a diet of basically corn. Great pre-European Indian cultures included the Pueblos, the Iroquois, the Mound Builders, the Mayans, the Incas, the Aztec, and the Sioux, among others (map of tribes on pg. 8). The Indians revered nature and land, and didn’t carelessly destroy it. Everything was put to use. In 1000 AD, Vikings discovered Newfoundland, but later abandoned it due to unfavorable conditions. Europeans, though, slowly began to proliferate into non-European worlds starting around the 1400s."

The Treaty of Tordesillas ( Portuguese: Tratado de Tordesilhas [tɾɐˈtaðu ðɨ toɾðeˈziʎɐʃ], [3] Spanish: Tratado de Tordesillas [tɾaˈtaðo ðe toɾðeˈsiʎas] ), signed at Tordesillas on June 7, 1494, and authenticated at Setúbal, Portugal, divided the newly discovered lands outside Europe between the Portuguese Empire and the Crown of Castile, along a meridian 370 leagues [note 1] west of the Cape Verde islands, off the west coast of Africa. This line of demarcation was about halfway between the Cape Verde islands (already Portuguese) and the islands entered by Christopher Columbus on his first voyage (claimed for Castile and León), named in the treaty as Cipangu and Antilia ( Cuba and Hispaniola ). The lands to the east would belong to Portugal and the lands to the west to Castile. The treaty was signed by Spain, 2 July 1494 and by Portugal, 5 September 1494. The other side of the world was divided a few decades later by the Treaty of Zaragoza, signed on 22 April 1529, which specified the antimeridian to the line of demarcation specified in the Treaty of Tordesillas. Originals of both treaties are kept at the Archivo General de Indias in Spain and at the Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo in Portugal. [ 8]This treaty would be observed fairly well by Spain and Portugal, despite considerable ignorance as to the geography of the New World; however, it omitted all of the other European powers. Those countries generally ignored the treaty, particularly those that became Protestant after the Protestant Reformation. The treaty was included by UNESCO in 2007 in its Memory of the World Programme."

In 1754, at the start of the war, North America looked like this:“How did North America get like this?” You may be wondering since this map looks nothing like North America today. Well it all had to do with colonial ideologies. Following the Treaty of Tordesillas, Spain had claims to lost of the land in Southern and Central America, with the exception of what we today would call Brazil. They colonized the land with some success more or less. Russia took over the part that was closest to them, for convenience sake.

The Spanish claim to Alaska and the Pacific Northwest had dated back to a 1493 papal bull (Inter caetera) and rights contained in the 1494 Treaty of Tordesillas. These two formal acts formed the basis of Spain's claim of the exclusive right to colonize all of the Western Hemisphere (excluding present day Brazil), including all of the west coast of North America. The first European expedition to actually reach the Pacific coast was led by the Spaniard Vasco Núñez de Balboa, which reached the western coast of present day Panama in 1513. Balboa claimed the Pacific Ocean for the Spanish Crown, as well as all the lands touching it. This action of Balboa further solidified the Spanish claim of exclusive control over the entire west coast of North America. Confident of their claims, the Spanish Empire did not explore or settle the northwest coast of North America in the 250 years after Balboa's claim. By the late 18th century, however, learning of Russian and British arrivals along the Pacific Northwest and Alaskan coasts, Spain finally grew sufficiently concerned about their claims to the region and set out to discover the extent of any Russian and British encroachment. A first expedition led by Juan José Pérez Hernández in 1774 with just one ship, the frigate Santiago (alias Nueva Galicia ), did not reach as far north as planned. Thus in 1775, when a small group of officers from Spain reached the Pacific port of San Blas in the Viceroyalty of New Spain (present day México), the viceroy (Antonio María Bucareli y Ursúa) placed one of them, Bruno de Heceta, in charge of a second expedition."

That’s when the Treaty of Tordesillas was signed granting Portugal everything in the new world east of an imaginary line that was declared to exist 370 leagues west of the Cape Verde islands. This ensured that what was to become Brazil would be Portuguese and thus develop a culture and identity very different from the rest of Spanish Latin America. This guaranteed the world would have samba, churrasco, “ The Girl from Ipanema, ” and through some incredibly fortuitous if twisted chain of events, Gisele Bundchen . While it took Brazil sometime to live up to the backhanded maxim that it was “the country of tomorrow and always would be,” there is little doubt that tomorrow has arrived for the country even if much work remains to be done to overcome its serious social challenges and tap its extraordinary economic potential. The evidence that something new and important was happening in Brazil began to build years ago, when then President Cardoso engineered a shift to economic orthodoxy that stabilized a country racked by cycles of boom and bust and mind-blowing inflation. It has gained momentum however, throughout the extraordinary term of the country’s current President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Some of that momentum is due to Lula’s commitment to preserving the economic foundations laid by Cardoso, a courageous political move for a lifelong labor leader from the opposition Workers Party."

"text": "\"Don Juan de Oñate On April 20, 1598, Oñate's colonists finally reached the Rio del Norte ( Rio Grande) about fifteen miles below the modern city of El Paso. After many days without water, the sight of the river seemed amost miraculous to the parched travellers. Both they and the livestock were so dehydrated traversing the Chihuahua desert that many succumbed to the temptation to overindulge their thirsts. Villagra graphically describes the scene by the river: \"\"the gaunt horses approached the rolling stream and plunged headlong into it. Two of them drank so much that they burst their swollen sides and died.. Our men, consumed by the burning thirst, their tongues swollen and their throats parched, threw themselves into the water and drank as though the entire river did not carry enough to quench the terrible thirst. \"\" In a formal ceremony, Oñate took possession of the territory in the name of the King of Spain. At no time did it ever occur to the conquistadores that their claim was anything but legitamate. Had not the Pope himself divided the newly discovered lands into two halves by the Treaty of Tordesillas: one half to Portugal, the other to Spain? The fact that the northern European Protestant countries would challenge this claim had no power to alter the conquistadores' stubborn conviction that they were entitled to all new lands west of the line of Tordesillas. Of course the rights of the Indians were pointedly ignored and did not even enter inot the purview of these European controversies."

"text": "Full Answer When Christopher Columbus returned to Spain after his discovery of the New World, he stopped at Lisbon and told the Portuguese King John II about his discoveries. Because the Portuguese had earlier been granted all land south of the Canary Islands by the Pope and in a Spanish treaty, John II argued that Columbus' new discoveries belonged to Portugal. Unfortunately for the Portuguese, a new Pope with Spanish ancestry, Alexander VI (also known as Rodrigo Borgia), had declared all lands west of the 38th meridian to be Spanish. This included nearly all of the Americas. Spain and Portugal ultimately compromised, pushing the meridian line westward to about 46 degrees. Shortly afterward, Portugal sent Pedro Alvares Cabral to the New World, where he discovered Brazil. Later, Portugal's claim on the Moluccas inspired Spain to claim that the Tordesillas agreement was not just a line on the west side of the world but a full hemispherical division, which put the Moluccas on the Spanish side. The Pope adjudicated this disagreement as well, drawing the Zaragossa line to give Portugal the Moluccas and Spain anything east of that line.

Columbus then offered his services in leading such an explatory voyage to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of what later became Spain. Queen Isabella in 1492 after the defeat of the last Muslim stronghold in Spain agreed to finance such a voyage and named Columbus as the admiral, viceroy and governor of any lands he should find. On August 3, 1492 Columbus' fleet of three ships left Spain and made landfall in the Bahamas on October 12th, about two months later. The fleet then sailed to the northeast coast of Cuba and turned to eastward to the island of Hispanola, which now contains the countries of Haiti and the Bominican Republic. There Columbus lost his flagship, the Santa Maria. He then returned to Spain to report his findings. When word of Columbus' discoveries reached Portugal its king charged the Spanish with encroachment into the Portuguese realm. Ferdinand and Isabella then appealed to the Pope in Rome, who was in origin a Spaniard. In 1493 the Pope issued a proclamation (a Bull) which assigned all lands which were more than 100 leagues (345 miles) west of the Cape Verde Islands to Spain and the land east of that line to Portugual."

The first known Europeans to reach the Americas were the Vikings ( Norse) during the 11th century, who established several colonies in Greenland and one short-lived settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows (51°N) in the area the Norse called Vinland, present day Newfoundland. Settlements in Greenland survived for several centuries, during which time the Greenland Norse and the Inuit people experienced mostly hostile contact. By the end of the 15th century, the Norse Greenland settlements had collapsed [ 1]. In 1492, a Spanish expedition headed by Christopher Columbus reached the Americas, after which European exploration and colonization rapidly expanded, first through much of the Caribbean Sea region (including the islands of Hispaniola, Puerto Rico and Cuba) and, early in the 16th century, parts of the mainlands of North and South America. Although Christopher Columbus is credited for discovering America, he was preceded by John Cabot who was the first to land in North America (1497). Eventually, the entire Western Hemisphere would come under the domination of European nations, leading to profound changes to its landscape, population, and plant and animal life. In the 19th century alone over 50 million people left Europe for the Americas. [ 2] The post-1492 era is known as the period of the Columbian Exchange.

Introduction 1 The Treaty of Tordesillas ( [done 7 June 1494] in Davenport [ed] vol 1, 84) is an agreement (capitulación) between the monarchs of what was later called Spain, Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon, on the one hand, and John II, King of Portugal, on the other. Under the Treaty, the parties agreed to establish a new demarcation line between their spheres of influence in the Atlantic, modifying previous lines drawn in earlier treaties, such as the Treaty between Spain and Portugal concluded at Alcaçovas ( [done 4 September 1479] in Davenport [ed] vol 1, 33), as well as by the Pope in several papal bulls handed out to the Portuguese kings during the preceding decades, and to the Spanish Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella in 1493. 2 The new demarcation line ran at a distance of 370 leagues from the Cape Verde islands towards the west, leaving to Portugal a sphere of influence in the eastern and southern parts of the Atlantic (except for the Canary Islands), and to Spain the dominion over the areas recently discovered by Columbus, west of the demarcation line. Notwithstanding the many difficulties in putting the agreement into practice, the Treaty of Tordesillas laid the foundations for the division of The Americas into Hispanic and Portuguese parts, and was the starting point for the later agreements over the anti-meridian and, thus, the definition of spheres of influence in the Pacific, fixed in the Treaty between Spain and Portugal concluded at Saragossa ( [done 22 April 1529] in Davenport [ed] vol 1, 169). It was also significant for the history of international law, because it can be considered an important step towards overcoming medieval practices of building upon papal authority for the definition of spheres of influence (History of International Law, Ancient Times to 1648). 3 The Treaty contains several further agreements and was accompanied by a lesser-known second document, signed and ratified on the same dates and at the same places, sometimes referred to as ‘ (Second) Treaty of Tordesillas’ (Rumeu de Armas)."

The Nazi party became the largest political party of Germany in 1932 (Apple by et al 710) due to the fact that the people of Germany needed a change from Wiemar Republic."

Given the longevity of the war, and the casualty levels, this was almost certainly politically impossible for the allies.

Two major purposes of this treaty are to restrict the power of Germany and to ensure peace and security between both parties as well as in the world. It had put a pressure and limitation in reconstruction Germany’s armed force which known as Reichswehr and also demanding this country to make a reparation to the damaged countries such as France and Great Britain. This treaty also led to the establishment of the League of Nations, an intergovernmental organization which established in January 20, 1920 and aimed to promote world peace and stability. However, later on, it turned out that the treaty was fail due to a few significant reasons. The purpose of the article is to identify and analyze the different factors which caused the failure of the Treaty of Versailles. One of the reasons of the failure is because it had failed to prevent the Second World War to occur. The purpose of the treaty itself was to stop another big war to exist again on this earth, yet it had unsuccessfully done so. The war still happened and the destruction of it was even larger and more serious than in WWI and other war in history of humankind due to the fact that the technology is increasing, and thus the weapons using are more powerful than ever, for instance, aircrafts, tanks, machine guns, and especially the use of nuclear bombs in Japan to end the war."

It benefited countries like Britain, France and America as they where the top powers to come out of the war. It blamed all of the damages caused to their countries squarely on the Germans simply because Germany was the best target. The German where forced to surrender all their foreign lands. They where forbidden from entering the Rhineland. They where forbidden from uniting with Austria. They where forced to pay reparations to the winning side after the war, leaving the German people and the Wiemar republic in poverty! If it wasn't for all these terms suppressing Germany, Hitler would never pushed the boundaries of the treaty, the Nazi's where unlikely to ever rise to such power as they where elected as a last hope when Germany lost faith in democracy and therefore Britain would not have had to declare war on Germany for taking over Poland and Slovakia, entering the Rhine and uniting with Austria."

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

Austria-Hungarywas forced to split into many ohter countries and Germany had to take full responsiblity for the war, were forced to give Alsace and Lorraine to France, and pay war reparations to the allied countries (except the US). They also had to disarm all of their weapons. The ally countries got land, money, and were free from guilt about the war.18 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

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

The French got the Rhine valley and all of its resources and millions in payments each year. Germany was not allowed to have a real military. There were quotas for how many canons, guns, airplanes, etc, they could build. It actually forced the Germans to develop better weapons. The Germans destroyed all their old, obsolete weapons to comply with the treaty and later rearmed with all new, superior weapons.

"text": "The Treaty of Versailles The Treaty of Versailles was the peace settlement signed after World War One had ended in 1918 and in the shadow of the Russian Revolution and other events in Russia. The treaty was signed at the vast Versailles Palace near Paris – hence its title – between Germany and the Allies. The three most important politicians there were David Lloyd George, Georges Clemenceau and Woodrow Wilson. The Versailles Palace was considered the most appropriate venue simply because of its size – many hundreds of people were involved in the process and the final signing ceremony in the Hall of Mirrors could accommodate hundreds of dignitaries. Many wanted Germany, now led by Friedrich Ebert, smashed; others, like Lloyd George, were privately more cautious. Background World War One had left Europe devastated. Those countries that had fought in it, had suffered casualties never experienced before: Britain : 750,000 soldiers killed; 1,500,000 wounded France : 1,400,000 soldiers killed; 2,500,000 wounded Belgium : 50,000 soldiers killed Italy : 600,000 soldiers killed Russia : 1,700,000 soldiers killed America : 116,000 soldiers killed Those who had fought against the Allies suffered heavy casualties as well: Germany: 2,000,000 soldiers killed Austria-Hungary: 1,200,000 soldiers killed Turkey: 325,000 soldiers killed Bulgaria: 100,000 soldiers killed The total deaths of all nations who fought in the war is thought to have been 8.5 million with 21 million being wounded. Alongside these statistics, was the fact that vast areas of north-eastern Europe had been reduced to rubble. Flanders in Belgium had been all but destroyed with the ancient city of Ypres being devastated. The homes of 750,000 French people were destroyed and the infrastructure of this region had also been severely damaged."

"text": "\"Humanities ›History & Culture The Truman Doctrine and the Cold War Share Flipboard Email Print Harry Truman Libraryby Robert Wilde Updated March 02, 2018The Truman Doctrine was a key part of the Cold War, both in how this conflict of posturing and puppets began, and how it developed over the years. The doctrine was policy to \"\"support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures,\"\" and announced on March 12th, 1947 by US President Harry Truman, making the doctrine US government policy for decades. The Start of the Truman Doctrine The doctrine was dreamed up in response to crises in Greece and Turkey, nations which Americans believed were in danger of falling into the Soviet sphere of influence. The US and the USSR had been in alliance during the Second World War, but this was to defeat a common enemy in the Germans and the Japanese. When the war ended and Stalin was left in control of Eastern Europe, which he had conquered and intended to subjugate, the US realized the world was left with two superpowers, and one was as bad as the Nazis they had just defeated and far stronger than before. Fear was mixed with paranoia and a little bit of guilt. A conflict was possible, depending on how both sides reacted... and they produced one. While there was no realistic way to free Eastern Europe from Soviet domination, Truman and the US wanted to stop any further countries falling within their control, and the president's speech promised monetary aid and military advisors to Greece and Turkey to stop them buckling. However, the doctrine was not just aimed at these two, but expanded worldwide as part of the Cold War to cover assistance to all nations threatened by communism and the Soviet Union, involving the US with western Europe, Korea, and Vietnam among others. A major part of the doctrine was the policy of containment."

As a result, American foreign policy towards the USSR shifted, as George F. Kennan phrased it, to that of containment. Many believe the Truman Doctrine to be the first in a succession of containment moves by the United States, followed by economic containment (The Marshall Plan) and military containment (the creation of NATO.) Under the Truman Doctrine, the United States was prepared to send any money, equipment, or military force to countries that were threatened by the communist government, thereby offering assistance to those countries resisting communism. In U. S. President Harry S Truman's words, it became \"\"the policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures.\"\" President Truman made the proclamation in an address to the U. S. Congress on March 12, 1947 amid the crisis of the Greek Civil War (1946-1949). Truman insisted that if Greece and Turkey did not receive the aid that they needed, they would inevitably fall to communism with consequences throughout the region. Truman signed the act into law on May 22, 1947 which granted $400 million in military and economic aid to Turkey and Greece. It should be noted however that this American aid was in many ways a replacement for British aid which the British were no longer financially in a position to give."

"text": "\"Student Activity Harry Truman and the Truman Doctrine Introduction | Vocabulary | Conditions in Greece | Photograph analysis | Conditions in Turkey | Map analysis | Truman's speech to Congress | Oral History activity Introduction On Friday, February 21, 1947, the British Embassy informed the U. S. State Department officials that Great Britain could no longer provide financial aid to the governments of Greece and Turkey. American policymakers had been monitoring Greece's crumbling economic and political conditions, especially the rise of the Communist-led insurgency known as the National Liberation Front, or the EAM/ELAS. The United States had also been following events in Turkey, where a weak government faced Soviet pressure to share control of the strategic Dardanelle Straits. When Britain announced that it would withdraw aid to Greece and Turkey, the responsibility was passed on to the United States. In a meeting between Congressmen and state department officials, Undersecretary of State Dean Acheson articulated what would later become known as the domino theory. He stated that more was at stake than Greece and Turkey, for if those two key states should fall, Communism would likely spread south to Iran and as far east as India. Acheson concluded that not since the days of Rome and Carthage had such a polarization of power existed. The stunned legislators agreed to endorse the program on the condition that President Truman stress the severity of the crisis in an address to Congress and in a radio broadcast to the American people. Addressing a joint session of Congress on March 12, 1947, President Harry S. Truman asked for $400 million in military and economic assistance for Greece and Turkey and established a doctrine, aptly characterized the Truman Doctrine, that would guide U. S. diplomacy for the next forty years. President Truman declared, \"\"It must be the policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures.\"\""

"text": "The Importance of the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan in the Development of the Cold War Extracts from this document... Introductionx20-11-12 | Rosa Mulloy Assess the importance of the Truman Doctrine and Mashall Plan to the development of the Cold War. The introduction of the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan were an important turning point in the path of the Cold War. It made a smooth solution to Stalin and Truman's aversions towards each other impossible, as the two powers could no longer compromise. The Soviets refused to take the Marshall Aid, a relief to the Americans, because they thought it was an attempt to make Europe dependent on the Dollar and in this way expand their empire. In response to this they created their own solution to the economic problems by introducing cominform to Russia and all of its satellite states. This created an economic divide between the Eastern and the Western European states, between Communist controlled and Capitalist countries and it represented the physical division of the iron curtain Churchill had described in his 1946 speech. This 'real', geographical divide between the two powers was also something that was encouraged by the public. ... read more. Middle But containment of the Russian ideology was obviously something somehow offensive to Stalin as he thought the American ideology was the harmful one, and he thought that Truman was only acting in self-interest because of the benefits they were gaining from the situation. An equally important cause in the development of the Cold War was the clash of ideologies between the two major powers, which made the Cold War inevitable when their common goal was lost."

"text": "What was the Truman Doctrine? Summary The Truman Doctrine grew out of George Kennan’s 1946 ‘long telegram’ which argued that the US should follow a policy of ‘containment’ to stop Russian expansion. Then, in February 1947, the British announced that they were withdrawing their soldiers from Greece. On 12 March 1947, Truman warned Congress that, without help, Greece would fall to Communism – and that Turkey and other countries would follow. He said that the Cold War was a choice between freedom and oppression and that Americans were OBLIGED to ‘to support free peoples’ and to abandon their decision not to get involved in European affairs. However, Truman’s speech did not mention ‘containment’, and most of the $338 million he sent to Greece went on dive bombers and napalm bombs. In fact, many people in the Truman administration wanted actively to oppose Russia, and Truman said that: ‘ We hope that in years ahead more and more nations will come to know the advantages of freedom and liberty. ’ It arguable that the Truman Doctrine was not just a policy of ‘containment’ but was ‘an American challenge to Soviet ambitions’. The Truman Doctrine was beginning to be formulated in 1946, when George Kennan, US ambassador in Moscow, wrote a ‘long telegram’ claiming that Soviet power was growing, and that the US should follow a policy of ‘containment’ to stop Russian ‘salami tactics’. In September 1946, Clark Clifford, Truman’s most trusted adviser, recommended that America ‘support and assist all democratic countries which are in any way menaced by the USSR’."

History of the United States: Continued THE COLD WAR At the end of World War II, the United States and the USSR emerged as the world’s major powers. They also became involved in the Cold War, a state of hostility (short of direct military conflict) between the two nations. The clash had deep roots, going back to the Russian Revolution of 1917, when after the Bolshevik victory, the United States, along with Britain, France, and Japan, sent troops to Russia to support the anti-Communists. During World War II, the United States and the USSR were tenuously allied, but they disagreed on tactics and on postwar plans. After the war, relations deteriorated. The United States and the USSR had different ideologies, and they mistrusted one another. The Soviet Union feared that the United States, the leader of the capitalist world, sought the downfall of Communism. The United States felt threatened by Soviet expansionism in Europe, Asia, and the western hemisphere. The United States and the Soviet Union disagreed over postwar policy in central and eastern Europe."

Victorious in that great struggle, its homeland undamaged from the ravages of war, the nation was confident of its mission at home and abroad. U.

For them, as for publisher Henry Luce of Time magazine, this was the \"\"American Century. \"\" For 20 years, most Americans remained sure of this confident approach. They accepted the need for a strong stance against the Soviet Union in the Cold War that unfolded after 1945. They endorsed the growth of government authority and accepted the outlines of the welfare state, first formulated during the New Deal. They enjoyed the postwar prosperity that created new levels of affluence in the United States. But gradually some Americans began to question dominant assumptions about American life.

"text": "The Korean War: Containment in Asia In Asia, as in Europe, Truman tried to contain the spread of communism. The U. S. denied the USSR any hand in the postwar reconstruction of Japan and occupied Japan until 1952, at which point the U. S. officially exited but left troops behind on American military bases. In China, the U. S. spent almost $3 billion in a failed effort to support Chinese nationalists under Chiang Kai-shek against Mao Zedong ’s communists. In 1949, the communists achieved victory and established the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The nationalists fled to Taiwan, where they established their own government to rival the PRC. Asia, much like Germany, became the site of division between contending camps, communist and noncommunist. The Cold War conflict in Asia erupted into outright war in June 1950, when troops from Soviet-supported North Korea invaded South Korea. Without asking for a declaration of war, Truman committed U. S. troops as part of a United Nations “police action.” In actuality, the Korean War was carried out by predominantly American forces under the command of General Douglas Mac Arthur . By late September, Mac Arthur’s troops had forced the North Koreans back past the thirty-eighth parallel, the dividing line between North and South Korea."

"text": "\"The Truman Doctrine and Containment Many historians say also that the Truman Doctrine marked the American policy of ‘ containmen t’ – indeed the 1947 speech is sometimes called ‘Truman’s containment speech’ In this respect, the most famous passage from Truman’s speech has become: I believe that it must be the policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures. The idea of these historians here is that, in his speech, Truman ‘drew a line in the sand’ – Communism could keep what it had got, but he would not let it grow any more. This implication is one of an America justifiably resisting – ‘containing’ – any further Soviet aggression: thus one American encyclopaedia (Houghton Mifflin) says that the Truman Doctrine ‘expanded the nation's role in checking the spread of communism’. This kind of interpretation has been especially popular with Americans and other pro-US historians because it presumes that the US was in the right. You can see the idea here, in an interview given by Clark Clifford (Truman’s most trusted adviser) in 1972: We weren't concerned about markets; we were concerned about preventing Soviet control of larger areas of the world than they already controlled. However, whether the March 1947 speech was a ‘containment speech’ is open to debate. It is interesting to note that Truman’s speech in 1947 did not mention the word – or the idea – ‘containment’. Moreover, on 15 May 1947, while Truman was signing the legislation into law, he made comments which suggest that he was wanting to go beyond just ‘containment’: We are guardians of a great faith. We believe that freedom offers the best chance of peace and prosperity for all, and our desire for peace cannot be separated from our belief in liberty. We hope that in years ahead more and more nations will come to know the advantages of freedom and liberty."

Enacted during the presidency of John Quincy Adams, it was labeled the Tariff of Abominations by its southern detractors because of the effects it had on the antebellum Southern economy. It set a 38% tax on 92% of all imported goods. Industries in the northern United States were being driven out of business by low-priced imported goods; the major goal of the tariff was to protect these industries by taxing those goods. The South, however, was harmed directly by having to pay higher prices on goods the region did not produce, and indirectly because reducing the exportation of British goods to the U.

The first protective tariff was passed by Congress in 1816; its tariff rates were increased in 1824. Southern states such as South Carolina contended that the tariff was unconstitutional and were opposed to the newer protectionist tariffs, but Western agricultural states favored them, as well as New England’s industries.

"text": "Business & Finance Taxes Q: What Are Disadvantages of Tariffs? A: Quick Answer One of the major disadvantages of tariffs is that they raise the price of imports, leading to a decrease in consumer surplus. Tariffs discourage competition, leading to decreases in product quality. In addition, high tariffs may lead to trade wars between nations. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Are Advantages and Disadvantages of Price Discrimination? What Is a Harmonized Tariff Schedule? What Are the Pros and Cons of Tariffs? Full Answer Tariffs may make local industries less efficient due to reduced global competition. They may also lead to trade wars as exporting countries counter with their own tariffs on imported products. When trading counterparts reciprocate with their own tariffs, it raises the cost of doing business for exporters."

Additionally, Jackson declares that government officials should not be allowed to serve inefficiently for excessive and indeterminate amounts of time; although his words are cause for concern, Jackson will replace only 9 percent of appointed federal officials during his first year in office. Meanwhile, his address is vague on issues such as the Second Bank of the United States, internal improvements, and tariffs. Andrew Jackson Inaugurated On March 4, 1829, Andrew Jackson took the oath of office and became the seventh President of the United States. Jackson's inauguration has become a part of American political folklore because thousand of people participated in the ceremonies.

Tariffs Tariffs were permitted in the Constitution to allow the United States to generate revenue. The first act, the Tariff Act of 1789, did just that, fairly raising revenue through tariffs on imported goods. In the Tariff of 1816, however, the United States tariff structure changed from revenue producing to protectionist. These protectionist tariffs had been proposed by Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton back in 1789 but the concept was pretty much ignored. Hamilton's original reason was promote the industrialization of the North. Tariffs levied in 1816 were aimed at lucrative Southern markets. Many Northern politicians were looking at wealthy plantation owners and wanting to share that wealth with their constituents and tariffs were the means by which to accomplish this goal. Protectionist fervor, fanned by pre-1816 success creating industrial growth through the Embargo Act was somewhat muted by shippers and merchants who opposed tariffs, but in 1820 and 1824 the United States once again was trying to increase tariffs."

Many women wanted to vote to prove their nationalism to America, but to do so they took a slight non-American approach as seen in pictures of banners bearing the name Kaiser Wilson. Many of the Progressives thought children shouldn’t be allowed to work until a certain age because the young children were becoming ill due to working conditions. They also were fighting to improve these working conditions in factories, sweatshops, and coal mines. Riis was one such man.

Learning Objectives Summarize the 1908 presidential election Key Takeaways Key Points The Democrats nominated William Jennings Bryan, who remained popular among liberals and populists. Taft took support from his Democratic opponent William Jennings Bryan by endorsing some of his policies, which combined with Roosevelt’s Progressive record, blurred the distinction between the two parties, leading to Taft’s victory. Despite running a vigorous campaign against the nation’s business elite, Bryan suffered the worst loss of his three presidential campaigns. Republicans used the slogan, “Vote for Taft now, you can vote for Bryan anytime,” a sarcastic reference to Bryan’s two failed previous presidential campaigns. Key Terms William Howard Taft: The 27th president of the United States who was defeated for reelection by Woodrow Wilson in 1912 after Roosevelt split the Republican vote by running as a third-party candidate. William Jennings Bryan: A leading American politician who was a dominant force in the liberal wing of the Democratic Party, and served as Wilson’s secretary of state until his resignation in frustration over Wilson’s war efforts. He lost to William Taft in the election of 1908. Theodore Roosevelt: The 26th president of the United States of America (1901–1909), noted for his exuberant personality and leadership of the Progressive movement. As president, his priorities included the Progressive aims of combating governmental corruption, limiting the power of large corporations, and establishing a colonial empire."

The Tariff Act of 1789 was the first major piece of legislation passed by the new Congress. It was particularly important because it gave the new national government a source of revenues to pay for its operations and to pay down the national debt from the Revolutionary War. The 5% tax placed on most imported goods (some higher) also helped to protect U. S. manufacturing, so the country would be less dependent on imports.

"text": "\"Report American Founders Interposition and the Heresy of Nullification: James Madison and the Exercise of Sovereign Constitutional Powers February 21, 2012 41 min read Download Report Christian G. Fritz, Ph. D. Senior Fellow and Director of Government Finance Programs Copied Select a Section 1 /0Abstract: The seemingly unstoppable growth of the federal government has led to a revival, in some circles, of the discredited notion of nullification as a legitimate constitutional mechanism for states to reassert their sovereign powers. Proponents of this doctrine invoke the authority of James Madison to defend the claim that the Constitution empowers states to nullify laws passed by Congress. In this essay, Christian Fritz explains why Madison emphatically rejected the attempt by a single state to nullify national laws. Instead, Madison embraced something very different. The practice of interposition—public opinion, protests, petitions, and legitimate actions of state legislatures—focused attention on whether the government was acting in conformity with the Constitution. Recovering Madison’s understanding of interposition offers a useful corrective to the mischaracterization of his views and makes clear that he rejected any constitutional basis for nullification. Political arguments frequently use history for justification. Invariably, such efforts are less about taking the past on its own terms than the desire to make symbolic historical references that resonate with modern audiences in order to achieve particular political objectives, whether liberal or conservative. American politics today provides a good example of this practice, particularly in the invocation of the doctrine of nullification and secession as legitimate constitutional options supposedly sanctioned in the thought of such Founders as James Madison."

Presented with abundant opportunity, but also hindered by significant internal and external problems, the country was seeking leaders who could provide a new direction. The political climate was ripe for reform, and the stage was set for the era of the Progressive Presidents, beginning with Republican Theodore Roosevelt. Teddy Roosevelt was widely popular due to his status as a hero of the Spanish-American War and his belief in “speaking softly and carrying a big stick.” Taking over the presidency in 1901 after the assassination of William Mc Kinley, he quickly assured America that he would not take any drastic measures. He then demanded a “Square Deal” that would address his primary concerns for the era—the three C’s: control of corporations, consumer protection, and conservation. The ownership of corporations and the relationship between owners and laborers, as well as government’s role in the relationship, were the contentious topics of the period. Workers were demanding greater rights and protection, while corporations expected labor to remain cheap and plentiful. This conflict came to a head in 1902, with the anthracite coal strike in Pennsylvania. Coal mining was dirty and dangerous work, and 140,000 miners went on strike and demanded a 20 percent pay increase and a reduction in the workday from ten to nine hours."

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

We concluded that Spanish California was not the pastoral land celebrated in romantic legend and romanticized history. We learned instead that Californiawas an isolated and wild frontier inhabited by a small and poor Spanish population,that most Spanish Californios were were illiterate and governed by weak Spanish authorities,that they were plagued by natural disasters - earthquakes, floods, draught, and plagues of insects and rodents - andthat the California Indians suffered greatly during the era of Spanish rule. Today, we are going to learn some further details about California at the end of Spanish rule and then continue our story by learning how California fared under Mexican rule.

S. state in 1845, had begun slowly, as the Spanish did not rely on it for labor during their years in Spanish Texas. The use of slavery expanded in the mid-nineteenth century as British-American settlers from the Southeastern United States crossed the Mississippi River and brought slaves with them. Although the Spanish colonists had held some slaves, they did not succeed in creating a sustainable agricultural economy in the entirety of New Spain, including Texas, Mexico, Central America, and other former Spanish territories in the American Southwest. The issue of slavery became a source of contention between the Anglo-American (called that because they spoke English) settlers and Spanish governors. The governors feared the growth in the Anglo-American population in Texas, and for various reasons, by the early 19th century, they and their superiors in Mexico City disapproved of expanding slavery. In 1829 the Guerrero decree conditionally abolished slavery throughout Mexican territories. It was a decision that increased tensions with slaveholders among the Anglo-Americans. After the Texas Revolution ended in 1836, the Constitution of the Republic of Texas made slavery legal. The General Provisions of the Constitution forbade any slave owner from freeing his slaves without the consent of Congress and forbade Congress from making any law that restricted the slave trade or emancipated slaves."

We also wanted a permanent presence in Asia, and the Philippines were an ideal location. Another reason was Manila Hemp which was a crop used to produce rope.

In this unit, we will continue our story line - how the power of the federal government grows as the United States responds to a series of crises both inside and outside our boundaries - two world wars, the crash of the stock market, and the Great Depression. In the first unit, our story traced the rise of federal power - sometimes at the expense of state power - as the nation grew in size and in industrial strength. And we also saw the rise of federal power as our imperialistic impulses created a colonial empire in both the Caribbean and the Pacific. In the next two days, we will again witness the rise of federal power in the foreign policy arena as we see how President Woodrow Wilson leads a reluctant nation into the first tumultuous world war. As we begin this discussion, I want to emphasize that this war began - as many do - with optimism by all sides. Indeed, across Europe and throughout the U. S., the war was portrayed as romantic and glamorous - as well as good for the U. S. economically. And it was \"\"sold' to the American people as a new way of discussing foreign policy - using it to achieve freedom for people living without it."

The events of July and early August 1914 are a classic case of \"\"one thing led to another\"\" - otherwise known as the treaty alliance system. Sponsored Links The explosive that was World War One had been long in the stockpiling; the spark was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914. ( Click here to view film footage of Ferdinand arriving at Sarajevo's Town Hall on 28 June 1914. ) Ferdinand's death at the hands of the Black Hand, a Serbian nationalist secret society, set in train a mindlessly mechanical series of events that culminated in the world's first global war. Austria-Hungary's Reaction Austria-Hungary's reaction to the death of their heir (who was in any case not greatly beloved by the Emperor, Franz Josef, or his government) was three weeks in coming. Arguing that the Serbian government was implicated in the machinations of the Black Hand (whether she was or not remains unclear, but it appears unlikely), the Austro-Hungarians opted to take the opportunity to stamp its authority upon the Serbians, crushing the nationalist movement there and cementing Austria-Hungary's influence in the Balkans. It did so by issuing an ultimatum to Serbia which, in the extent of its demand that the assassins be brought to justice effectively nullified Serbia's sovereignty. Sir Edward Grey, the British Foreign Secretary, was moved to comment that he had \"\"never before seen one State address to another independent State a document of so formidable a character. \"\" Austria-Hungary's expectation was that Serbia would reject the remarkably severe terms of the ultimatum, thereby giving her a pretext for launching a limited war against Serbia."

"text": "\"The Treaty of Versailles - the Peace to end all Peace Print Alan Woods 13 April 2009Share Tweet+1The Versailles Treaty of 1919 was one of the most outrageous and predatory treaties in history. It was a blatant act of plunder perpetrated by a gang of robbers against a helpless, prostrate and bleeding Germany. The proceedings at Versailles are highly enlightening because they reveal the inner workings of imperialist diplomacy, the crude reality of power politics and the material interests that lurk behind the flowery phrases about Liberty, Humanitarianism, Pacifism and Democracy.90 years ago the representatives of the triumphant imperialist powers gathered in Paris to determine the fate of the entire world. The Treaty of Versailles formally ended the state of war between Germany and the Allied Powers (also known as the Entente). It took six months of wrangling at the Paris Peace Conference to conclude the peace treaty. It was finally signed on 28 June 1919, exactly five years after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The Versailles Treaty was one of the most outrageous and predatory treaties in history. It was a blatant act of plunder perpetrated by a gang of robbers against a helpless, prostrate and bleeding Germany. Among its numerous provisions, it required Germany and its allies to accept full responsibility for causing the war and, under the terms of articles 231–248, to disarm, make substantial territorial concessions and pay reparations to the Entente powers. The proceedings at Versailles are highly enlightening because they reveal the inner workings of imperialist diplomacy, the crude reality of power politics and the material interests that lurk behind the flowery phrases about Liberty, Humanitarianism, Pacifism and Democracy."

It ended direct U. S. military combat, and temporarily stopped the fighting between North and South Vietnam. However, the agreement was not ratified by the United States Senate.

Lord North hoped to divide the colonists amongst themselves, and thus weaken any revolution/independence movements (especially those represented by the Continental Congress)."

"text": "\"Treaty of Versailles: Facts, Causes and Effects One of the chief contributing causes of the Second World War was the Treaty of Versailles (June, 1919), that officially ended the First World War. Its main terms were surrender of ALL German colonies in Africa and the Far East, which would be mandated to Britain, France, Belgium, South Africa, Japan and Australia. This led to a re-distribution under a series of mandates – for example, the return of Alsace-Lorraine to France, the cession of Eupen-Malmedy to Belgium; plebiscites to be held in Northern Schleswig, the cession of Prussian Poland, parts of East Prussia and Upper Silesia to Poland; the cession of Danzig (now Gdansk) to be administered by the newly invented (and doomed) League of Nations; the cession of diminutive areas around Hultschin to Czechoslovakia; the cession of Memel (which was eventually annexed by Lithuania); the occupation of the Saar by the French; a demilitarization of the Rhineland, accompanied by allied occupation during fifteen years; the payment of an enormous sum in reparations ( £6,500 million in 1921: later Adolf Hitler would claim that this sum, demanded of a defeated Power by France and Belgium, was a veiled attempt to crush both the German spirit and the German economy); the limitation of the German Army to 100,000 men with no general staff, no conscription, no tanks, no heavy or light artillery, no poison gas supplies, and no aircraft or zeppelins. The German Navy was limited to ships under 10,000 tons (no battleships or cruisers then), no submarines and no Navy airforce. The Treaty did not allow any union between Germany and Austria (the Anschluss); it also declared Germany responsible for causing the war, and made provision for an official trial of the deposed Kaiser and other war leaders. Large areas of public opinion in Britain and France claimed that the terms of the Treaty were not harsh enough. Congress in the United States, however, went the other way, and refused to ratify the Treaty. Germans of all classes rejected the ‘war-guilt’ clause, and this continued to rankle with them until Hitler became Chancellor. In 1933 he refused to consider himself bound by the Treaty, and promised Germany total revenge. Ex-Kaiser Wilhelm II was never brought to trial."

It was signed in Paris by Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and John Jay, representing the United States, together with David Hartley, representing Great Britain. The 1783 Treaty was one of a series of treaties signed at Paris that also established peace between Great Britain and the allied nations of France, Spain, and the Netherlands. Under the terms of the treaty, Britain recognized the independent nation of the United States of America. Britain agreed to remove all of its troops from the new nation. The treaty also set new borders for the United States, including all land from the Great Lakes on the north to Florida on the south, and from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River. The Unites States was also granted access to the fisheries off the coast of Newfoundland. The United States agreed to allow British troops still in America to leave and also agreed to pay all existing money owed to Great Britain."

The two sides of the war consisted of the Allied Powers (France, Great Britain, Russia, the United States, and other smaller counties) and the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey/Ottoman Empire, along with other smaller country support). Though Germany turned out to be the Central Power most involved in the war, there is little or no evidence that the Germans had planned for war. There are several fundamental causes that had brought the world to the brink of war: nationalism, imperialist competition, militarism, and the build up of pre-war alliances. These growing appearance of these factors perhaps inevitably led to what was called the Great War, World War One. June 22nd - Conflict Begins The war began as a chain of events that revolved around several alliances made between countries. These pre-war alliances called for the defence of various countries under attack, and all of the major players in the war had made these alliances. These alliances combined with tensions between militarily active countries set the world up for a major war. The chain of events that led up to the war began on June 22 nd 1914, when a Serbian student named Gavrilo Princip, who was part of the militant group called the \"\"Black Hand\"\", assassinated Austrian archduke Frances Ferdinand and his wife. The assassination was a result of the nationalism caused by the moulding of the Yugoslavian provinces into a single state."

Engraving based on the painting \"\"Action Between the HMS Serapis and Bonhomme Richard\"\" by Richard Paton, published 1780. France, despite its financial difficulties, used the occasion of the American Revolutionary War (1776–1781) to weaken its arch-rival in European and world affairs, Britain. Independence for the colonies would seriously damage the British Empire and create a rising power, the United States, that could be allied with France. Some argue France primarily sought revenge against Britain for the loss of territory in America in the 1763 Treaty of Paris. However, Dull, in 1975, argued that France intervened because of dispassionate calculation, not because of Anglophobia or a desire to avenge the loss of Canada. French participation reflected the desperate French diplomatic position on the European continent. The war was a tragic failure for France: American independence failed to weaken Britain. The Spanish navy was vital to the maintenance of the military initiative by the allies."

Open Document Treaty of Versailles The Treaty of Versailles began with a peace conference which opened in Paris in January of nineteen twelve at the end of World War I. There were great expectations of peace. France, Great Britain, Italy, and the United States were present at the conference. Not only did these countries want peace from the war; they were also looking for eternal peace. This optimism and idealism was greatly strengthened by President Wilson’s peace proposal, the Fourteen Points. It was published in January of nineteen eighteen and the points stressed national self-determination and the rights of small countries. ( 1) The Treaty of Versailles was a failed attempt by the Big Four for peace. The United States, Great Britain, and France were the real powers at the conference. Germany wasn’t allowed to participate, Russia was in the middle of a civil war and Italy was considered part of the Big Four but their involvement was limited. From the start the three big allies began to quarrel. European crowds wildly cheered President Wilson."

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

Involving diplomats from 32 countries and nationalities, the major or main decisions were the creation of the League of Nations, as well as the five peace treaties with the defeated states; the awarding of German and Ottoman overseas possessions as \"\" mandates \"\", chiefly to Britain and France; reparations imposed on Germany; and the drawing of new national boundaries (sometimes with plebiscites) to better reflect ethnic boundaries. The main result was the Treaty of Versailles with Germany, which in section 231 laid the guilt for the war on \"\"the aggression of Germany and her allies\"\". This provision proved humiliating for Germany and set the stage for the expensive reparations Germany was intended to pay (it paid only a small portion before reparations ended in 1931). The five major powers ( France, Britain, Italy, Japan and the United States of America) controlled the Conference. And the \"\"Big Four\"\" were the Prime Minister of France, Georges Clemenceau; the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, David Lloyd George; the President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson; and the Prime Minister of Italy, Vittorio Emanuele Orlando. They met together informally 145 times and made all the major decisions, which in turn were ratified by the others. [ 1] The conference began on January 18, 1919 and with respect to its end date Professor Michael Neiberg has noted: Although the senior statesmen stopped working personally on the conference in June 1919, the formal peace process did not really end until July 1923, when the Treaty of Lausanne was signed\"\".

"text": "\"Napoleon: Man of Peace By Ben Weider, CM, Ph DIf ever a ruler owed his position to what is called the \"\"will of the people,\"\" Napoleon did. Napoleon won it by his success with the sword, not the sword of execution, nor the sword of the guillotine, but the sword of battle against the enemies of France. The people of France elected Napoleon as the Emperor, because he saved France from its enemies and he defended the gains of the Revolution at home. Napoleon established both the Bank of France and the French bourse (stock exchange) as well as National and Departmental Tax Boards, to insure equitable taxation for all. Consequently, the income of the French peasants skyrocketed. Napoleon established awards such as the \"\"Legion of Honour\"\" to reward those whose services to the nation merited special recognition; the recipient could be scientist, composer, legislator, clergyman, writer, as well as a soldier. In the area of public works, over 20,000 miles of imperial and 12,000 miles of regional roads were completed, almost a thousand miles of canals were build, the Great Cornice road was constructed along the Mediterranean coast, mountain roads were constructed across the Alps by ways of Simplon Pass and Mont Cenis, and harbors were dredged and expanded at many ports, including Dunkerque and Cherbourg. Not only was Paris beautified with the construction of boulevards, bridges and monuments, but the National Archives received a permanent home. Napoleon also saved the Louvre. Monument buildings were constructed throughout the Empire and structures, such as the Imperial Cathedral of Speyer, made famous by Luther, were preserved while work on the spires of the great cathedral of Cologne were continued on Napoleon's orders."

Open Document The Treaty of Versailles Despite Woodrow Wilson's plan for peace near the end of World War I, he failed to gain Congressional support for the Treaty of Versailles. The Treaty of Versailles was intended to be a peace agreement between the Allies and the Germans. However, once the negotiation of the Treaty, the Allies found they had conflicting ideas and motives surrounding the reparations and wording of the Treaty. The Treaty formally placed the responsibility for the war on Germany and its allies and imposed on Germany the burden of paying the debts of war. In addition to foreign opposition, Wilson couldn't even gain support for the treaty in the United States. Because of weaknesses in the treaty, domestic opposition, and failure to compromise, the treaty gained very little congressional support. The Treaty of Versailles was very controversial. Some countries opposed the treaty due to multiple weaknesses. For example, the Treaty humiliated Germany. The war-guilt clause forces Germany to accept sole responsibility for World War I. And although German militarism had played a major role in igniting the war, other countries in Europe had been guilty of provoking diplomatic crises before the war."

The South Beach mansion, once owned by Italian fashion designer Gianni Versace, was sold for $41.5 million to the mortgage holder, VM South Beach, by Fisher Auction. The price marks a sharp fall for a house that got widespread media attention and listed last year for $125 million. Although the listing price was later reduced to $75 million, many expected the house, called Casa Casuarina, to become the most expensive ever sold in Miami, far exceeding the record of $47 million.

He was shot and killed on the front steps in 1997. The property has a mosaic-tiled pool lined in 24-karat gold, an elaborate courtyard, 10 bedrooms and 11 baths. It was marketed by the \"\"Jills\"\"—the Miami real-estate duo of Jill Eber and Jill Hertzberg—and was featured on NBC's \"\"Today\"\" and other shows. The current owner, telecom entrepreneur Peter Loftin, bought the property in 2000 for $19 million. He placed it in Chapter 11 bankruptcy this year after a financial dispute with VM South Beach."

( AP)This month, a U. S. bankruptcy court approved the auction sale of a mansion in the tony, trendy South Beach neighborhood of Miami, Fla. It’s a 23,000-square-foot, 10-bedroom Italian palazzo-style home, featuring a 54-foot swimming hole lined in 24-karat gold tiles, mosaic walkways, fountains, balconies, statues, frescoes and golden bathroom fixtures. Despite all the over-the-top luxuries, this building’s claim to fame is murder. Built in 1930 by an heir to the Standard Oil fortune, it bears the name of the man who was shot on the doorstep — the Versace Mansion. Gianni Versace was murdered on the steps of his South Beach home in July 1997 — by Andrew Cunanan, who was found dead eight days later. ( Alan Diaz/AP)The famed Italian fashion designer bought the property on Ocean Drive in 1992 and spent $33 million sprucing it up, including the construction of the gilded pool. In the process, he revitalized the community of South Beach, luring luminaries like Elton John and Madonna to a place considered to be one of the largest of God’s waiting rooms. Around 8:30 p.m. on July 15, 1997, Gianni Versace, 50, had taken a stroll to a favorite restaurant. Returning around 9, he was unlocking the wrought iron gate to his mansion when a stranger walked up behind him and pumped two bullets into the back of his head.

Having learned his ear cancer was in remission and that a recent Aids test was negative, the notoriously hot-tempered gay Italian designer was happier than he had been for years. But Versace, then 50, was never to enjoy another day. On his return home, as he fiddled with the lock on the front gates of his palatial, art deco mansion, a stranger in a white shirt and grey shorts approached — and gunned him down with two close-range shots to the head and neck. New reports claim the mafia was responsible for Gianni Versace's murder.

The new series of American Crime Story will look closely at the murder of Gianni Versace – but serial killer Andrew Cunanan left other lives destroyed Andrew Cunanan (Photo: FBI)16 January 2018 David Hudson The much anticipated second series of American Crime Story debuts on FX this week The show will explore the three-month murder spree undertaken by Andrew Cunanan in the late 90s. It culminated in the murder of fashion designer Gianna Versace in Miami, Florida. Killing Versace ensured Cunanan worldwide notoriety. But the Italian designer was Cunanan’s fifth killing. His other victims were largely overlooked by the media once Versace was slain on the steps of his mansion. American Crime Story is based largely on the exhaustive account of Cunanan’s life and killings written by journalist Maureen Orth in the late 90s. Reading Orth’s book, The Assassination of Gianni Versace: Vulgar Favors, one thing is clear. Cunanan’s murders ripped apart families and devastated lives. His other victims continued to be missed and should not be a forgotten part of the story."

Lifetime, god bless them, is at it again with yet another “Based on a True Story” TV movie, and they might have picked their best, most sensational main character yet — Donatella Versace. With House of Versace hitting airwaves on Oct. 4, here’s why you should be racing to your DVR or hoping for a rerun. ‘House Of Versace’: What You Need To Know1. Gina Gershon IS Donatella It’s really pretty amazing. 51-year-old actress, Gina Gershon plays Donatella perfectly — the down-turned mouth, the massive ego, the bossiness, it’s all there. Most Lifetime movies have a tendency to be absolutely ridiculous, and while House of Versace is certainly a little wild, Gina’s transformative performance elevates the made-for-TV flick. It’s a can’t-miss.2. House Of Versace Never Lets Up Like we said, the movie gets a little wild."

On Saturday he posted a set of four new tracks that like their predecessors (including the addictive and very true \"\"Girls Love Beyonce\"\") may or may not be ultimately intended for Nothing Was the Same, but can at least give us an idea of what directions Drake and his collaborators are exploring.

Behind all of the stuntin' you can vaguely hear himself asking, \"\"For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?\"\" ( Or at least, \"\"What use is working your ass off to become an international superstar if it doesn't get you into the NBA championship winners' locker room ?\"\") He may be like the second coming of Jodeci, as the song claims, but his vocal performance and the song's slightly melancholy beat suggest he's searching for more than that, but doesn't even know what he's looking for. His dad turns up to assure the audience, via a spoken-word interlude, that Drake really did like Jodeci as a kid as much as he claims. The song also features an appearance by J. Cole, who is undoubtedly feeling a lot of feelings of his own after the LOL-laden reception \"\"Let Nas Down. \"\""

It was there that the Italian fashion designer was gunned down by a spree killer in 1997, and where he once entertained Princess Diana and Madonna. The three-story villa is an opulent and private oasis in the heart of South Beach. When Versace bought the place over 20 years ago, the Miami Beach neighborhood was nothing but a smattering of fledgling clubs and modeling agencies as well as the home to an aging population of snowbirds.“ All of a sudden, what was going on in L.

On April 27, 1997, after traveling from San Diego, Cunanan bludgeoned Jeffrey Trail to death.

Disenfranchised By JIM RUTENBERG JULY 29, 2015O n the morning of his wedding, in 1956, Henry Frye realized that he had a few hours to spare before the afternoon ceremony. He was staying at his parents’ house in Ellerbe, N. C.; the ceremony would take place 75 miles away, in Greensboro, the hometown of his fiancée; and the drive wouldn’t take long. Frye, who had always been practical, had a practical thought: Now might be a good time to finally register to vote. He was 24 and had just returned from Korea, where he served as an Air Force officer, but he was also a black man in the American South, so he wasn’t entirely surprised when his efforts at the registrar’s office were blocked. Adopting a tactic common in the Jim Crow South, the registrar subjected Frye to what election officials called a literacy test. In 1900, North Carolina voters amended the state’s Constitution to require that all new voters “be able to read and write any section of the Constitution in the English language,” but for decades some registrars had been applying that already broad mandate even more aggressively, targeting perfectly literate black registrants with arbitrary and obscure queries, like which president served when or who had the ultimate power to adjourn Congress. “ I said, ‘Well, I don’t know why are you asking me all of these questions,’ ” Frye, now 83, recalled. “"

These Fundamental Orders represent the framework for the first formal government written by a representative body in Connecticut. Connecticut’s government has operated under the direction of five separate documents in its history. The Connecticut Colony at Hartford was governed by the Fundamental Orders, and the Quinnipiac Colony at New Haven had its own Constitution in The Fundamental Agreement of the New Haven Colony which was signed on 4 June 1639. In 1662, Connecticut was granted governmental authority by King Charles II of England and royal charter. These two documents laid the groundwork for the state’s government, but lacked characteristics of what is generally thought of as a constitution. [ 1] Separate branches of government did not exist during this period, and the General Assembly acted as the supreme authority. [ 1] A true constitution was not adopted in Connecticut until 1818. [ 2] Finally, the current state constitution was implemented in 1965."

When he took office in 1961, President Kennedy chose to try to stimulate the sluggish economy through a tax cut. In the early 1960s, as leader of France, Charles de Gaulle feared American control over European affairs. The 1962 Trade Expansion Act reduced American tariffs. John F. Kennedy's strategy of \"\"flexible response\"\" called for a variety of military options that could be matched to the scope and importance of a crisis. While it seemed sane enough, John F. Kennedy's doctrine of flexible response potentially lowered the level at which diplomacy would give way to shooting. American military forces entered Vietnam in order to prevent Ngo Dinh Diem's regime from falling to the communists. The Alliance for Progress was intended to improve the level of economic well-being in Latin America. Bay of Pigs is the least related to Tet, Pleiku, Gulf of Tonkin, and Operation Rolling Thunder.

"text": "The Geopolitical Origins of the U. S. Immigration Act of 1965February 5, 2015 Feature By David S. Fitz Gerald and David Cook-Martín President Lyndon B. Johnson signs the Immigration Act of 1965 at the foot of the Statue of Liberty on October 3, 1965 as Vice President Hubert Humphrey, Lady Bird Johnson, Sen. Edward Kennedy, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, and others look on. ( Photo: Yoichi Okamoto/LBJ Library)In 2015, the United States marks the 50th anniversary of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which radically shifted U. S. policy away from selecting immigrants by national origin. Until 1965, the national-origins quotas created a preference for immigration from countries in Northwestern Europe, loosely restricted immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe, and tightly restricted immigration from Asia, Africa, and the colonized Caribbean. For example, the 1929 quotas gave 51,227 of the overall 150,000 annual slots to Germans, 100 to Greeks, and zero to Chinese. The 1965 law eliminated the national-origins quotas and relied on a preference system focused on immigrants’ family relationships with U. S. citizens or legal permanent residents, or their skills. The law banned discrimination in the issuance of immigrant visas based on “race, sex, nationality, place of birth, or place of residence,” with several major exceptions. It established an annual cap of 170,000 visas for immigrants from the Eastern Hemisphere, with no country in the hemisphere allowed more than 20,000 visas. The act also for the first time established a cap for immigrants from independent countries of the Western Hemisphere, with an annual limit of 120,000 visas. Spouses, minor children, and parents of adult U. S. citizens were exempted from the new caps. The 1965 immigration law quickly transformed the ethnic portrait of the United States."

[ 7] [8] It was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson during the height of the Civil Rights Movement on August 6, 1965, and Congress later amended the Act five times to expand its protections. [ 7] Designed to enforce the voting rights guaranteed by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, the Act secured voting rights for racial minorities throughout the country, especially in the South. According to the U. S. Department of Justice, the Act is considered to be the most effective piece of federal civil rights legislation ever enacted in the country. [ 9]The Act contains numerous provisions that regulate election administration. The Act's \"\"general provisions\"\" provide nationwide protections for voting rights. Section 2 is a general provision that prohibits every state and local government from imposing any voting law that results in discrimination against racial or language minorities."

See all of the Center's recent resources on the VRA. August 4, 2015The Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965 to ensure state and local governments do not pass laws or policies that deny American citizens the equal right to vote based on race. As the leading democracy of the world, the U. S. should work to keep voting free, fair, and accessible. That’s why the Voting Rights Act is so important. It makes sure every citizen, regardless of their race, has an equal opportunity to have a say and participate in our great democracy. The U. S. Supreme Court overturned a key provision of the Voting Rights Act in 2013, removing a critical tool to combat racial discrimination in voting. Under Section 5 of the landmark civil rights law, jurisdictions with a history of discrimination must seek pre-approval of changes in voting rules that could affect minorities. This process, known as “preclearance,” blocks discrimination before it occurs. In Shelby County v. Holder, the Court invalidated Section 4 — which determines the states and localities covered by Section 5 — arguing that current conditions require a new coverage formula."

The Act has undergone several changes and additions since its passage, but the U. S. Supreme Court found a key provision of the Act unconstitutional in 2013. The 1965 Enactment By 1965, civil rights activists had been working for years to obtain voting rights for all Americans, but had only achieved minimal success. However, the murder of activists in Mississippi and Philadelphia, as well as numerous other acts of violence and terrorism, captured national attention and propelled the movement forward. On March 7, 1965, in an event that came to be known as \"\"Bloody Sunday,\"\" state troopers descended on peaceful protestors in an unprovoked attack on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama where protestors were en route to the state capital in Montgomery. In response to this event and other acts of violence, President Johnson called for effective voting rights legislation. Subsequently, hearings began on the bill that would become the Voting Rights Act. The hearings showed that the Justice Department's efforts to eliminate discriminatory election practices by litigation on a case-by-case basis had been unsuccessful in opening up the registration process. The VRA was enacted on August 6, 1965. Section 2 of the Act applied a nationwide prohibition on literacy tests."

Bokel and Rolf Clark. . . victory over all enemies will be achieved in the last analysis not only by the bravery, skill, and determination of our men, but by our overwhelming mastery in the munitions of war. We must not only provide munitions for our own fighting forces but vast quantities to be used against the enemy in every appropriate theater of war, wherever that may be. Franklin D. Roosevelt January, 3, 1942As the nation turned from World War I, many of those who were most engaged in both war fighting and war production, military and civilian leaders, reflected on the experience. One leader, who would in time have a special effect on a range of production issues, was Bernard M. Baruch, Chairman of the War Industries Board during World War I. He believed that there were real benefits to learning how and why things happened in mobilizing American Forces and other national resources in World War I. Baruch emphasized the mobilization, logistics, acquisition, and economic issues associated with war fighting. One of the most critical areas of mobilization was acquisition--research, development and procurement of materiel, equipment, and other supplies necessary for waging war (dominated of course by procurement during wars). Over time, the acquisition process has led to some recurring questions: Who will be in charge? What methods will best encourage competition? How can excessive profits be prevented and reasonable prices be ensured? How can accountability to the public--97--be attained?"

[ 1]. It was signed on December 10, 1898, at the end of the Spanish-American War, and came into effect on April 11, 1899, when the ratifications were exchanged. [ 2] The Treaty signaled the end of the Spanish Empire in America and the Pacific Ocean (see also the German-Spanish Treaty (1899)), and marked the beginning of an age of United States colonial power. Platt Amendment, 1901 was an amendment to a joint resolution of the United States Congress, replacing the earlier Teller Amendment. [ 1] It stipulated the conditions for the withdrawal of United States troops remaining in Cuba at the end of the Spanish-American War and defined the terms of Cuban-U. S. relations until the 1934 Treaty of Relations. The Amendment ensured U. S. involvement in Cuban affairs and gave legal standing (in U. S. law) to U. S. claims to certain territories on the island including Guantanamo Bay Naval Base. [ 2]Open Door notes is a concept in foreign affairs, which usually refers to the policy in 1899 allowing multiple Imperial powers access to China, with none of them in control of that country. As a theory, the Open Door Policy originates with British commercial practice, as was reflected in treaties concluded with Qing Dynasty China after the First Opium War (1839-1842). [ 1] As a specific policy with regard to China, it was first advanced by the United States in the Open Door Notes of September-November 1899, authored by William Woodville Rockhill. [ 2] In 1898, the United States had become an East Asian power through the acquisition of the Philippine Islands, and when the partition of China by the European powers and Japan seemed imminent, the United States felt its commercial interests in China threatened."

Answer by OSUstudent Confidence votes 312The Lend-Lease act was a law passed in 1941 which allowed the United States to ship war materials and supplies to the Allied powers during World War 2. The act allowed for considerable U. S. involvement in the war on the side of the Allies while still being able to not completely enter the war and commit the United States Army to the conflict.

Authorization to Attack: What Does the Constitution Say? Mark Strand, Tim Lang September 10, 2013The official copy of the War Powers Resolution, passed over President Nixon’s veto in 1973. ( Image credit: National Archives and Records Administration)Congress is debating whether to approve the use of force against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime in response to its use of chemical weapons contrary to international standards. A military strike would be momentous enough, but this debate has also become the occasion for an important national discussion over the role of Congress in directing American foreign policy. Let us point out up front: This article is not designed to say whether or not the United States should attack Syria in response to its use of chemical weapons against its own people. We are, however, making the case that, regardless of what the President decides to do, he should seek authorization from Congress first and abide by its decision, even if it is contrary to his plans. Only a handful of lawmakers have supported action against the Syrian regime, raising the question of whether the President will even find the votes necessary for Congress to approve the use of force. In the face of this opposition, the Obama Administration maintains that he has the authority to act regardless of congressional disapproval."

Few issues in modern history have received as much attention as assigning blame for the outbreak of the World War in 1914. The debate began during the war itself as each side tried to lay blame on the other, became part of the \"\"war guilt\"\" question after 1918, went through a phase of revisionism in the 1920s, and was revived in the 1960s thanks to the work of Fritz Fischer. This lecture also deals with the causes of World War I, but does so from a Balkan perspective. Certainly Great Power tensions were widespread in 1914, and those tensions caused the rapid spread of the war after it broke out, but many previous Great Power crises had been resolved without war. Why did this particular episode, a Balkan crisis that began with a political murder in Bosnia, prove so unmanageable and dangerous? Some questions will help to frame our inquiry: What was the purpose of the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914? Who was responsible for the killing, besides the assassins themselves? Was a war inevitable after the murder, or did policy-makers let the crisis escape control? Finally, why did a Balkan crisis lead to a world war in 1914, when other crises had not?"

"text": "General Interest1965Watts Riot begins Share this:facebook twitter google+Print Cite In the predominantly black Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles, racial tension reaches a breaking point after two white policemen scuffle with a black motorist suspected of drunken driving. A crowd of spectators gathered near the corner of Avalon Boulevard and 116th Street to watch the arrest and soon grew angry by what they believed to be yet another incident of racially motivated abuse by the police. A riot soon began, spurred on by residents of Watts who were embittered after years of economic and political isolation. The rioters eventually ranged over a 50-square-mile area of South Central Los Angeles, looting stores, torching buildings, and beating whites as snipers fired at police and firefighters. Finally, with the assistance of thousands of National Guardsmen, order was restored on August 16. The five days of violence left 34 dead, 1,032 injured, nearly 4,000 arrested, and $40 million worth of property destroyed. The Watts riot was the worst urban riot in 20 years and foreshadowed the many rebellions to occur in ensuing years during the 1967 Detroit Riots, the Newark Riots, and other violence."

The Commission’s 1968 report, informally known as the Kerner Report, concluded that the nation was “moving toward two societies, one black, one white—separate and unequal.” Unless conditions were remedied, the Commission warned, the country faced a “system of ’apartheid’” in its major cities. The Kerner report delivered an indictment of “white society” for isolating and neglecting African Americans and urged legislation to promote racial integration and to enrich slums—primarily through the creation of jobs, job training programs, and decent housing. President Johnson, however, rejected the recommendations. In April 1968, one month after the release of the Kerner report, rioting broke out in more than 100 cities following the assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. In the following excerpt from the Kerner Report, the Commission assessed media coverage of the riots and criticized newspapers and television for failing to adequately report on African-American life or to employ more than a token number of blacks. In 1998, 30 years after the issuance of the Report, former Senator and Commission member Fred R. Harris co-authored a study that found the racial divide had grown in the ensuing years with inner-city unemployment at crisis levels. Opposing voices argued that the Commission’s prediction of separate societies had failed to materialize due to a marked increase in the number of African Americans living in suburbs. Coverage of the 1967 Disturbances We have found a significant imbalance between what actually happened in our cities and what the newspaper, radio and television coverage of the riots told us happened. The Commission, in studying last summer’s disturbances, visited many of the cities and interviewed participants and observers."

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."

Now known as the ‘Direct Action Day’ or The Great Calcutta Killings, 16 August poised itself right next to perhaps one of the most important days in Indian history, the day of the country’s Independence on 15 August, a year later. But unlike the latter, the former stands for an unprecedented spectacle of hatred and bloodshed. In 1946, Muhammad Ali Jinnah declared 16 August as ‘Direct Action Day’ and called for Muslims all over the country to ‘suspend all business’. This was to put pressure on the British government to relent to the Muslim League’s (headed by Jinnah) demand of dividing the country on the basis of religion, thereby allowing the creation of a Muslim-dominated Pakistan.

The social and economic ravages of Jim Crow era racism were all-encompassing and deep-rooted. Yet like a phoenix rising from the ashes of lynch mobs, debt peonage, residential and labor discrimination, and rape, the black freedom movement raised a collective call of \"\"No More\"\"!The maintenance of white power had been pervasive and even innovative, and hence those fighting to get out from under its veil had to be equally unrelenting and improvisational in strategies and tactics. What is normally understood as the Civil Rights movement was in fact a grand struggle for freedom extending far beyond the valiant aims of legal rights and protection. From direct-action protests and boycotts to armed self-defense, from court cases to popular culture, freedom was in the air in ways that challenged white authority and even contested established black ways of doing things in moments of crisis. Dixie and Beyond By the middle of the twentieth century, black people had long endured a physical and social landscape of white supremacy, embedded in policy, social codes, and both intimate and spectacular forms of racial restriction and violence. The social and political order of Jim Crow—the segregation of public facilities—meant schools, modes of transportation, rest rooms, and even gravesites were separate and unequal. Yet the catch-all phrase \"\"Jim Crow\"\" hardly accounts for the extralegal dictates of black professionals working cotton fields, landholders thrown off their property, black women fending off sexual assault and rape, and the constant threats of public humiliation and the lynch rope. All of these day-to-day constraints were justified by myths about inferior black character and intelligence, reproduced in films, books, radio programs, and magazine ads. Jim Crow violence and racial restriction are often thought be specific to Dixie."

Explain the difference between conventional crowds and acting crowds. Describe the behavior that typically occurs during and after a disaster. Collective behavior is a term sociologists use to refer to a miscellaneous set of behaviors in which large numbers of people engage. More specifically, collective behavior refers to relatively spontaneous and relatively unstructured behavior by large numbers of individuals acting with or being influenced by other individuals. Relatively spontaneous means that the behavior is somewhat spontaneous but also somewhat planned, while relatively unstructured means that the behavior is somewhat organized and predictable but also somewhat unorganized and unpredictable. As we shall see, some forms of collective behavior are more spontaneous and unstructured than others, and some forms are more likely than others to involve individuals who act together as opposed to merely being influenced by each other. As a whole, though, collective behavior is regarded as less spontaneous and less structured than conventional behavior, such as what happens in a classroom, a workplace, or the other settings for everyday behavior with which we are very familiar. As just noted, the term collective behavior refers to a miscellaneous set of behaviors. As such, these behaviors often have very little in common with each other, even if their basic features allow them to be classified as collective behavior."

In 1962, public support for Johnson's anti-poverty program was solidified when Michael Harrington published his book The Other America. Harrington reported that 20 percent of America's population—and nearly 40 percent of the black population—lived in poverty. Many Americans, who lived in relative prosperity, were startled by Harrington's findings. Months after assuming the presidency, Johnson entered the 1964 election race to seek the office based on his own platform. Johnson won a landslide victory against Republican candidate Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona."

While officers questioned them, a crowd of onlookers had begun to form. When Rena Frye, the boys mother showed up, a struggle ensued which led to the arrest of all 3 members of the Frye family. More officers had arrived on the scene and had hit the brothers with their batons. The crowd had grown and by this point had become angry.

"text": "\"Full Answer Whig and Tory were the names of the rival political parties in Britain, so they were used in the colonies since they were familiar nicknames. In modern times, Americans began calling the Whigs \"\"patriots\"\" because of their immense love for America. Throughout the Revolutionary War, the colonists often changed their minds and switched from party to party. It was difficult to support one side completely as many people wanted to choose sides to help their personal needs, such as their businesses and their families, by adhering to the popular opinion in their various communities. Some people did not want to take a side in the war, but a year after the Declaration of Independence was signed into action, the North Carolina revolutionary government created laws that forced all men of the military age to take an oath. This oath bound them to support the new government. The only groups that were exempt from this law were the four Christian groups: Quakers, Mennonites, Dunkers, or German Baptists, and Moravians. However, to escape the oath, they had to pay tax rates that were three or four times higher than the typical tax rate. Learn more about US History Sources: learnnc.org gmu.edu \""

The procession to and from the ceremony at Westminster Abbey was witnessed by unprecedentedly huge crowds, as the new railways made it easier for an estimated 400,000 to come to London from the rest of the country. [ 1]The ceremony cost £79,000, exceeding the £30,000 spent on that of her uncle and predecessor, William IV, in 1831, but was far less than the £240,000 paid for the grandiose coronation of his brother George IV in 1821. William IV's coronation had established much of what remains today the pageantry of the event, which had previously involved ceremonies in Westminster Hall (now attached to the Houses of Parliament) before a procession on foot across the road to the Abbey. This form was replaced with a procession through the streets with the new monarch in the Gold State Coach or Coronation Coach, dating to 1762 and still used in coronations, with many other coaches and a cavalry escort. [ 2]The procession by coach of 1831 was again adopted in 1838, and has been followed in all subsequent coronations. The road route was extended to allow for more spectators, taking a nearly circular route from the Queen's new home at the just-completed Buckingham Palace via Hyde Park Corner, Piccadilly, St James's Street, Pall Mall, Charing Cross and Whitehall. The budget stressed the procession and there was no coronation banquet; according to The Gentleman's Magazine it was the longest coronation procession since that of Charles II in 1660. [ 3] The weather was fine and the day was generally considered a great success by the press and wider public, though those inside the Abbey witnessed a good deal of mishaps and confusion, and there was Radical opposition, especially in northern England.

Towards the end of the 17th century and into the 18th, the wealthy region was repeatedly invaded by French troops, which resulted in continuous military requisitions, widespread devastation and famine. The \"\"Poor Palatines\"\" were some 13,000 Germans who migrated to England between May and November 1709. Their arrival in England, and the inability of the British Government to integrate them, caused a highly politicized debate over the merits of immigration. The English tried to settle them in England, Ireland and the Colonies. The Palatine settlements did not prove to be viable in the long term, except for those settled in County Limerick and County Wexford in Ireland and in the colony of New York in British North America.

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

"text": "The Glorious Revolution of 1688Stephen Quinn, Texas Christian University The Glorious Revolution was when William of Orange took the English throne from James II in 1688. The event brought a permanent realignment of power within the English constitution. The new co-monarchy of King William III and Queen Mary II accepted more constraints from Parliament than previous monarchs had, and the new constitution created the expectation that future monarchs would also remain constrained by Parliament. The new balance of power between parliament and crown made the promises of the English government more credible, and credibility allowed the government to reorganize its finances through a collection of changes called the Financial Revolution. A more contentious argument is that the constitutional changes made property rights more secure and thus promoted economic development. Historical Overview Tension between king and parliament ran deep throughout the seventeenth century. In the 1640s, the dispute turned into civil war. The loser, Charles I, was beheaded in 1649; his sons, Charles and James, fled to France; and the victorious Oliver Cromwell ruled England in the 1650s. Cromwell’s death in 1659 created a political vacuum, so Parliament invited Charles I’s sons back from exile, and the English monarchy was restored with the coronation of Charles II in 1660. Tensions after the Restoration The Restoration, however, did not settle the fundamental questions of power between king and Parliament."

"text": "\"The Early Modern or Renaissance Period The early modern period begins with the Reformation (1517) and generally denotes the period when we begin to see the beginnings of our modern world including changes in religion, in social structure and construction of class boundaries, in political structure, and in subjectivity, to name a few. Humanism is key to understanding this period. The English Renaissance, which took place from the early sixteenth century to the mid 17th century (the Restoration), was part of a burgeoning European \"\"rebirth\"\" that began in Italy with Da Vinci and Michelangelo. In England, it also can be called \"\"Elizabethan\"\" although obviously, the Renaissance began before and extended after Elizabeth I. It is characterized by a return to classical texts such as the Greek and Roman myths of Ovid's Metamorphoses. While the early modern period can extend as far as the Industrial Revolution, for our purposes, these terms indicate roughly the same period of time; the nomenclature suggests different emphases, however, with \"\"Renaissance\"\" glancing back and \"\"early modern\"\" gazing forward. Great art in Italy and great literature in England are the results. Johann Gutenberg invented the first printing press using movable type in the 1440s. The economic recovery from the Plague aided the spread of the printing press, which by 1500 was significant in expanding access to texts--mostly importantly, the Bible (in Latin)--and in changing understandings of authorship and literacy. It also caused spelling to become standardized. In 1535, William Tyndale was burned at the stake for printing the Bible in English and smuggling it into England."

Part of the Politics series on Toryism Characteristics [show]General topics [show]People [show]Related topics [show]v t e A Tory ( / t ɔː r i /) holds a political philosophy ( Toryism) based on a British version of traditionalism and conservatism, which upholds the supremacy of social order as it has evolved throughout history. The Tory ethos has been summed up with the phrase \"\"God, King, and Country\"\". [ 1] Tories generally advocate monarchism, are usually of a high church Anglican religious heritage [2] [3] and are opposed to the liberalism of the Whig faction. In Britain, the Tory political faction originated with the Cavaliers during the English Civil War. It also had exponents in other parts of the former British Empire, such as the Loyalists of British America who opposed American secession during the American War of Independence. Following the American War of Independence, the Loyalists who fled to the Canadas helped establish the base of support for political cliques in the Canadas, locally referred to as Tories. This political philosophy remains prominent in the politics of the United Kingdom and also appears in other parts of the Commonwealth realms, particularly in Canada. Several right-wing parties in the Commonwealth realms continue to be referred to as Tories, along with party members."

"text": "\"The Crisisby Thomas Paine December 23, 1776THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated. Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but \"\"to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER\"\" and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. Even the expression is impious; for so unlimited a power can belong only to God. Whether the independence of the continent was declared too soon, or delayed too long, I will not now enter into as an argument; my own simple opinion is, that had it been eight months earlier, it would have been much better. We did not make a proper use of last winter, neither could we, while we were in a dependent state. However, the fault, if it were one, was all our own [ NOTE ]; we have none to blame but ourselves."

The treaties between several European states, including Spain, Great Britain, France, Portugal, Savoy and the Dutch Republic, helped end the war. The treaties were concluded between the representatives of Louis XIV of France and of his grandson Philip V of Spain on one hand, and representatives of Anne, Queen of Great Britain, the Duke of Savoy, the King of Portugal and the United Provinces of the Netherlands on the other. They marked the end of French ambitions of hegemony in Europe expressed in the wars of Louis XIV and preserved the European system based on the balance of power. [ 1]Contents [ show]Negotiations Edit France and Great Britain had come to terms in October 1711, when the preliminaries of peace had been signed in London. The preliminaries was based on a tacit acceptance of the partition of Spain's European possessions.

[ 2] Reluctantly the United Provinces accepted the preliminaries and sent representatives, but the Emperor refused to do so until he was assured that the preliminaries were not binding."

The saga continues with an investigation of his successor, King George IV. As is the custom, George III’s eldest son became George IV and had much to do with the War of 1812. Since he was the Regent, or Acting King, during the War of 1812, let’s take a look at him. Young Prince of Wales Born as George Frederick Augustus, the Prince of Wales rebelled against his very strict father. At 17, after attending Shakespeare’s play A Winter Tale, he had a major romantic affair with a Mrs. Robinson–Mary Robinson, to be precise. She was a famous 18th century English actress [who surely advised him to go into “plastics”]. George III did not approve of this relationship, as Mrs. Robinson was a married woman. Two years later, George III paid a reported £5,000 to retrieve his son’s amorous letters to avoid scandal and embarrassment to the Crown. As a young man, the Prince of Wales became a leading figure in fashionable society and was known as the first gentleman of Europe for his polished and refined manners."

In 1690 Presbyterianism was established as the state religion of Scotland. The Act of Settlement 1701 settled the succession of the English throne on the Protestant House of Hanover. The Act of Union 1707 applied the Act of Settlement to Scotland. With the death of Queen Anne in 1714, the Elector of Hanover, George I, succeeded to the British throne. The accession of George I ushered in the Whig supremacy, with the Tories deprived of all political power. The new Whig regime sought to prosecute members of the 1710–1714 Tory ministry for financial irregularities, with Robert Harley being imprisoned in the Tower of London and Lord Bolingbroke fleeing to France before arrest."

William's successful invasion of England with a Dutch fleet and army led to his ascension to the throne as William III of England jointly with his wife, Mary II, James's daughter, after the Declaration of Right, leading to the Bill of Rights 1689. King James's policies of religious tolerance after 1685 met with increasing opposition from members of leading political circles, who were troubled by the King's Catholicism and his close ties with France. The crisis facing the King came to a head in 1688, with the birth of his son, James, on 10 June (Julian calendar). [ a] This changed the existing line of succession by displacing the heir presumptive (his 26-year-old daughter Mary, a Protestant and the wife of William of Orange) with young James as heir apparent."

He was appointed governor of Seringapatam and Mysore in 1799, and as a newly appointed major-general won a decisive victory over the Maratha Confederacy at the Battle of Assaye in 1803. Wellesley rose to prominence as a general during the Peninsular campaign of the Napoleonic Wars, and was promoted to the rank of field marshal after leading the allied forces to victory against the French at the Battle of Vitoria in 1813. Following Napoleon's exile in 1814, he served as the ambassador to France and was granted a dukedom. During the Hundred Days in 1815, he commanded the allied army which, together with a Prussian army under Blücher, defeated Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo. Wellesley's battle record is exemplary, ultimately participating in some 60 battles throughout his military career. He was twice prime minister under the Tory party and oversaw the passage of the Catholic Relief Act 1829. He was prime minister from 1828–30 and served briefly in 1834. He was unable to prevent the passage of the Reform Act 1832 and continued as one of the leading figures in the House of Lords until his retirement."

From the time that the Moravians first made their appearance within her borders her inhabitants have boon making history by the wholesale. During the Revolutionary struggle I dare say there was not another county throughout the colonies that f'igured so prominently as Wilkes. At Kings Mountain the turning point of the Revolution, about one-half the American forces were from Wilkes. And gallantly they did their country's service until the enemy's commander, who swore he had found a place \"\"where God Almighty could not drive him from,\"\" lay dead upon the battle field and his forces either killed or taken prisoners. And when the Tories and Indians needed attention, \"\"Cleveland's Devil's, as the Tories called them, were always equal to the occasion, and there always had to be some tamest \"\"cleaning up\"\" on the part of the Tories and Indians or some of their party would dangle from a limb. In the conflict with Mexico Wilkes furnishod a company which did valiant service in behalf of the American cause, and our illustrious Colonel Sidney Stokes was so admired by those under his command that a beautiful sword was presented him as a token of respect and love. And when it came to the Civil war our record stands without a paralell. Some men from Wilkes made excellent soldiers in the Union army, but most of the men of Wilkes took their stand with the Confederacy. Such leaaers as Gordon, Stokes, Barber, Cowles, and others, with their brave subordinates, won the esteem and love of the whole Confederate army; and their achievements on the battle fields show the display of such courage and bravery as has never been excelled in the world's history."

Dubbed the \"\"Big Three,\"\" the Allied leaders had met previously in November 1943, at the Tehran Conference. Seeking a neutral site for the meeting, Roosevelt suggested a gathering somewhere on the Mediterranean. While Churchill was in favor, Stalin refused citing that his doctors prohibited him from making any long trips. In lieu of the Mediterranean, Stalin proposed the Black Sea resort of Yalta. Eager to meet face to face, Roosevelt agreed to Stalin's request. As the leaders traveled to Yalta, Stalin was in the strongest position as Soviet troops were a mere forty miles from Berlin. This was reinforced by the \"\"home court\"\" advantage of hosting the meeting in the USSR. Further weakening the western Allies' position was Roosevelt's failing health and Britain's increasingly junior position relative to the US and USSR."

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

"text": "Tehran, Yalta and Potsdam Conferences The Tehran, Yalta and Potsdam Conferences Germany’s invasion of Russia in 1941 forced Stalin to seek military help. As we have seen, despite the very different political systems in Russia, the United States and Great Britain, the threat of a common enemy brought the Allies together. The leaders of the three powers (or their representatives) met relatively frequently, declaring their shared beliefs as a way of maintaining morale at home. In 1942 the Atlantic Charter gave support for the principle of national self-determination. The next year at the Casablanca Conference America reassured Russia that there would not be a compromise peace with Germany, but it remained to be seen how much these ‘promises’ made in the midst of a desperate military situation could be carried out at the end of the war. Tehran Conference By the end of 1943 as the war situation improved, the Big Three started to look forward to the prospects for peace. At the Teheran Conference in November Stalin met with Churchill and Roosevelt for the first time.

The Yalta Conference was a meeting between Franklin D Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Josef Stalin about what to do when they won the war, which was going to happen soon. This was the first big public sign that the Cold War was going to happen. Roosevelt and Franklin were on one side and Stalin on the other about how was going to control what.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The \"\"Big Three\"\" at the Yalta Conference: Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Joseph Stalin The concept of Western betrayal refers to the view that the United Kingdom and France failed to meet their legal, diplomatic, military and moral obligations with respect to the Czechoslovak and Polish nations during the prelude to and aftermath of the Second World War. It also sometimes refers to the treatment of other Central and Eastern European nations at the time. The term refers to several events, including the treatment of Czechoslovakia during the Munich Agreement and the resulting occupation by Nazi Germany, as well as the failure of France and Britain to honor its commitments to aid Poland when the country was invaded by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in 1939. The same concept also refers to the concessions made by the United States and the United Kingdom to the Soviet Union during the Tehran, Yalta, and Potsdam conferences, to their passive stance during the Warsaw Uprising against Nazi occupation, and post-war events, which allocated the region to the Soviet sphere of influence and created the communist Eastern Bloc. Historically, such views were intertwined with some of the most significant geopolitical events of the 20th century, including the rise and empowerment of the Third Reich (Nazi Germany), the rise of the Soviet Union (USSR) as a dominant superpower with control of large parts of Europe, and various treaties, alliances, and positions taken during and after World War II, and so on into the Cold War.

[ 1] [2] In Central and Eastern Europe the interpretation of the outcome of the Munich Crisis of 1938, and the Yalta Conference of 1945, as a betrayal of Central and Eastern Europe by Western powers has been used by Central and Eastern European leaders to put pressure on Western countries to acquiesce to more recent political requests such as membership in NATO. [ 3]In a few cases deliberate duplicity is alleged, whereby secret agreements or intentions are claimed to have existed in conflict with understandings given publicly. An example is Churchill's covert concordance with the USSR that the Atlantic Charter did not apply to the Baltic states. Given the strategic requirements of winning the war, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and U. S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt had no option but to accept the demands of their erstwhile ally, Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin, at Tehran, Yalta, and Potsdam, argues retired diplomat Charles G. Stefan. ["

Roosevelt died unexpectedly on April 12, 1945, in Warm Springs, Ga., the White House lost no time announcing a cause of death. The 63-year-old president, the shocked and grieving nation was told, had died of cerebral hemorrhage. ( “ Last Words,” read a front-page headline in The New York Times: “ ‘I Have a Terrific Headache .’ ”) That Roosevelt died of a stroke is undisputed. But what caused it is a medical mystery that has persisted to this day, a mystery heightened by the secrecy in which he, his aides and his doctors always insisted on shrouding his health. Now a new book — “F. D. R.’s Deadly Secret,” by a neurologist, Dr. Steven Lomazow, and a journalist, Eric Fettmann (Public Affairs) — revives an intriguing theory. Look closely at Roosevelt’s portraits over his 12-year presidency. In his first two terms, there is a dark spot over his left eyebrow. It seems to grow and then mysteriously vanishes sometime around 1940, leaving a small scar."

Roosevelt met to discuss what would happen after the Second World War. The conference was held in Yalta on the north coast of the Black Sea in the Crimean peninsula. With Soviet troops in most of Eastern Europe, Stalin was in a strong negotiating position. Roosevelt and Churchill tried hard to restrict post-war influence in this area but the only concession they could obtain was a promise that free elections would be held in these countries. Poland was the main debating point. Stalin explained that throughout history Poland had either attacked Russia or had been used as a corridor through which other hostile countries invaded her. Only a strong, pro-Communist government in Poland would be able to guarantee the security of the Soviet Union. Stalin at the Yalta Conference The historian, Christopher Andrew, who has made a close study of the KGB archive, has argued that Stalin was determined to discover what Allied leaders were thinking: \"\"Yalta was to prove an even bigger success for Soviet intelligence than Tehran. This time both the British and the American delegations, housed respectively in the ornate Vorontsov and Livadia palaces, were successfully bugged. The mostly female personnel used to record and transcribe their private conversations were selected and transported to the Crimea in great secrecy."

On the other hand, Churchill and Roosevelt met together on eleven occasions (including the Atlantic Conference before the US entered the war) and Churchill and Stalin on three occasions. Roosevelt and Stalin never met except on the margins of the two trilateral meetings. In so far as a triumvirate existed, it was a matter of communications through messages or intermediaries. Room for misunderstanding was always present. How could this not be the case since their countries, their personal philosophies and national objectives were so different? What united them was the determination between June 1941, when Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, and the end of the European war (by which time Roosevelt was dead) that Hitler's Reich should suffer total defeat and Nazism be extirpated. Everything else was problematic and contingent. To tell the story of the war in terms of the actions of the Big Three presents a major technical challenge which Robin Edmonds, professional diplomat turned historian, has triumphantly surmounted."

European American servicemen and White European immigrant civilians attacked and stripped children, teens, and youths who wore zoot suits, ostensibly because they considered the outfits to be unpatriotic during World War II, as they had a lot of fabric. Rationing of fabric was required at the time for the war effort. While most of the violence was directed toward Mexican American youth, young African American and Filipino Americans who were wearing zoot suits were also attacked. [ 1]The Zoot Suit Riots were related to fears and hostilities aroused by the coverage of the Sleepy Lagoon murder trial, following the killing of a young Latino man in a barrio near Los Angeles.

Flag What problem did the Three-fifths Compromise solve? Answer by Alex Cooper Confidence votes 70Because of slavery in the south sometimes the slave population outnumbered the whites due to the amount of slaves plantation owners had and the number of plantations and farms. The Three-fifths compromise said that African American slaves counted for 3/5 of a person, and because representation in the house of representatives is based on population, this allowed states with many slaves to gain more representatives in congress.26 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Davis as chief5 1978–20026 William J. Bratton as Chief7 References Early history [ edit]During the California Gold Rush, Los Angeles was known for its violence, gambling and \"\" vice \"\" and lack of effective civil law enforcement. It was reputed to have the highest murder rate in the United States at the time and the countryside was infested with bandits. Most men went armed with pistols and knives and lynching was often the method used to dispose of lawbreakers, courts being few and ineffective. The first specific Los Angeles police force was founded in 1853 as the Los Angeles Rangers, a volunteer California State Militia company that assisted the existing County Sheriff in enforcing the law until disbanded in 1857. [ 1] The Rangers were supplemented from 1853 by the Los Angeles Guards, a local volunteer California State Militia company that lasted until 1880 [2] and by the Los Angeles City Guards (1855–1861).

"text": "\"Film Description In June 1943, Los Angeles erupted into the worse race riots in the city to date. For ten straight nights, American sailors armed with make-shift weapons cruised Mexican American neighborhoods in search of \"\"zoot-suiters\"\" -- hip, young Mexican teens dressed in baggy pants and long-tailed coats. The military men dragged kids -- some as young as twelve years old -- out of movie theaters and diners, bars and cafes, tearing the clothes off the young men's bodies and viciously beating them. Mexican youths aggressively struck back. The fighting intensified and on the worst night, taxi drivers offered free rides to the riot area. One LA paper even printed a guide on how to \"\"de-zoot\"\" a zoot-suiter. When the violence ended, scores of Mexicans and servicemen were in hospital beds. Zoot Suit Riots is a powerful film that explores the complicated racial tensions and the changing social and political landscape that led up to the explosion on LA's streets in the summer of 1943. To understand what happened during those terrifying June nights, the film describes changes in the city's population -- the influx of new immigrants, the booming war-time economy, the huge number of service men on their way to the Pacific theater and a new generation of Mexican Americans who were more conspicuous, more affluent and more self-confident than their parents had ever dared to be. Decked out in wide brim hats, baggy pants, high boots and long-tailed coats, these \"\"zoot-suiters\"\" called each other \"\"mad cats.\"\""

Díaz was taken by ambulance to Los Angeles County General Hospital, where he died shortly afterwards, without regaining consciousness. The hospital's autopsy showed that he was inebriated from a party the previous night and had a fracture at the base of his skull. This might have been caused by repeated falls or an automobile accident. The cause of his death remains a mystery to this day. However, Los Angeles Police were quick to arrest 17 Mexican-American youths as suspects. Despite insufficient evidence, the young men were held in prison, without bail, on charges of murder."

He tries unsuccessfully to suppress his curiosity, and for his crime of preference in desiring a position with the wise Scholars, the Council of Vocations assigns him a job as a Street Sweeper. For four years, Equality 7-2521 tries to acquit himself admirably in his vocation and to follow the rigid schedule of his life, but one day, he and International 4-8818 discover a secret tunnel from the Unmentionable Times before the Great Rebirth. International 4-8818 is too afraid to explore, but he is a loyal friend and does not betray Equality 7-2521, who begins to sneak away to conduct scientific experiments in the tunnel. Equality 7-2521 keeps a journal describing his experiences. This in turn forms the book's narrative. Significantly, Equality 7-2521 speaks always as \"\"we\"\" rather than \"\"I\"\", because his society does not have singular pronouns. He desires forgiveness for keeping the tunnel to himself and for thinking the thoughts of an individual rather than of the collective. One day, as Equality 7-2521 is working in a Street Sweeper's brigade north of the city, he sees and is immediately attracted to the beautiful and proud Liberty 5-3000 among the Peasants. She also notices him, and they greet each other with subtle gestures."

"text": "Mexico The Observer El Chapo was the world’s most wanted drug lord. But has his brutal reign finally come to an end?“El Chapo” Guzmán, the notorious Mexican drug lord, was captured last week after his escape from prison last year. Documentary film-maker Angus Macqueen spent months tracking Guzmán for a 2014 documentary. Here, he describes his mountain community, and how his control of the Sinaloa cartel crumbled as the state reacted to his audacious escape Angus Macqueen Sat 9 Jan 2016 19.05 EST23.53 EST366 144Back in custody, Mexico’s most wanted drug lord, Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán, above, in a pictured from his arrest yesterday, at an undisclosed location in Mexico.

The first, improbably, in a laundry basket in 2001. The second caught on prison cameras of him calmly disappearing into a tunnel under the shower in his cell in 2015. We can only imagine what followed: the motorbike ride down a mile-long tunnel to freedom, purportedly smashing the overhead lighting with a stick as he went."

The sweat-soaked prisoner of war had just poked away at the last nine inches of grass and dirt atop a vertical shaft at the end of a tunnel that ran more than 30 feet below the oblivious Nazi guards patrolling the Stalag Luft III camp, which held thousands of Allied airmen captured by German forces in World War II. The flyboys who bravely soared the skies had demonstrated courage and ingenuity below ground as well in toiling for nearly a year to construct a tunnel that would allow them to flee from captivity. The secret plan had been led and organized by Roger Bushell, a Royal Air Force pilot who had been shot down over France while assisting with the evacuation of Dunkirk. After Bushell, nicknamed “Big X,” escaped twice from German prisoner of war camps, he was sent to what the Nazis believed to be one of their most secure facilities—Stalag Luft III. At this camp, 100 miles southeast of Berlin, the Nazis had taken measures to prevent tunneling, such as raising prisoners’ huts off the ground and burying microphones nine feet underground along the camp’s perimeter’s fence. In addition, the camp was built atop sandy ground through which it would be extremely difficult to tunnel. Still, Bushell would not be deterred."

Although very tiny and unable to survive on their own, ants work together large family groups called colonies. Because ants are eusocial*, have specialized divisions of labor within the colony and demonstrate effective communication and self-organization, individuals devote their lives and work in unison for the good of the colony. Thus the colony, behaving as a superorganism*, thrives as though it was a single organism of a higher order. Adults and children alike are often curious about what ants do underground, since most ant nests are subterranean and many of their activities take place obscured from view. But with the aid of specially constructed colony containments, called ant farm aquariums, one can study Formicidae behaviors and view their day-to-day subterranean activities with ease. Suitable ant farm aquariums allows one to observe how ants dig tunnels and hollow out chambers, where they store their food, how they take care of their larvae and eggs, how they groom the queen and how they keep the chambers clean. You can monitor how each ant socializes with other ants and how individuals behave and work together for the good of the colony. No matter the species, numerous activities take place in ant colonies all of the time. That is why ant farms are considered educational hobbies and great hobbies for children, age 7 and up."

His mother, Mary (Valinsky), was born in Pennsylvania, to Lithuanian parents, and his father, Walter Buchinsky, was a Lithuanian immigrant coal miner. He completed high school and joined his father in the mines (an experience that resulted in a lifetime fear of being in enclosed spaces) and then served in WW II. After his return from the war, Bronson used the GI Bill to study art (a passion he had for the rest of his life), then enrolled at the Pasadena Playhouse in California. One of his teachers was impressed with the young man and recommended him to director Henry Hathaway, resulting in Bronson making his film debut in You're in the Navy Now (1951). He appeared on screen often early in his career, though usually uncredited. However, he made an impact on audiences as the evil assistant to Vincent Price in the 3-D thriller House of Wax (1953). His sinewy yet muscular physique got him cast in action-type roles, often without a shirt to highlight his manly frame. He received positive notices from critics for his performances in Vera Cruz (1954), Target Zero (1955) and Run of the Arrow (1957). Indie director Roger Corman cast him as the lead in his well-received low-budget gangster flick Machine-Gun Kelly (1958), then Bronson scored the lead in his own TV series, Man with a Camera (1958)."

[ 2] The current facility was constructed between 1974 and 1979 in response to the continued degeneration of the original facility located in downtown Deer Lodge. The \"\"Old Prison\"\" ( 46°23′33″N 112°44′10″W) served as the Montana Territorial Prison from its creation in 1871 until Montana achieved statehood in 1889, then continued as the primary penal institution for the State of Montana until 1979. Throughout the prison's history, the institution was plagued with constant overcrowding, insufficient funds, and antiquated facilities. The administration of Warden Frank Conley from 1890 to 1921 proved the exception to this rule, as Warden Conley instituted extensive inmate labor projects that kept many inmates at work constructing the prison buildings and walls as well as providing various state and community services like road building, logging, and ranching. After Conley left office, the prison experienced almost forty years of degeneration, mismanagement, and monetary restraints until an explosive riot in 1959 captured the attention of the nation. Led by Jerry Myles and Lee Smart, the riot maintained the prison under inmate control for thirty-six hours before the Montana National Guard stormed the institution to restore order. The facility was retired in September 1979, and the inmates were moved to the current prison. The Old Prison was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 and is now a museum.

"text": "\"Back to Character Pages Bea Smith (Val Lehman)Thanks to Matt for the first part of this character profile. Beatrice Alice Smith is introduced in (1) and for the next 400 episodes - through a parade of rivals covering the good, the bad and the ugly - she remains the undisputed top dog of Wentworth Detention Centre. Her first dramatic action in the series is to burn Lyn Warner's hand in the steam press (as punishment for abducting and burying a child), firmly establishing herself as \"\"Queen Bea\"\" over the prisoners and the press as the seat of that power. It is also interesting to note that while we the audience are pretty much aware that Lyn is innocent of her accused crime, there is no real inclination to view Bea as a villian. She acts out of emotions we can relate to and very early on she becomes the \"\"eyes\"\" of the series, very rarely wrong about the character of any supporting player. Bea is released from Wentworth (2) after serving time for killing her husband's mistress, an act which is originally described by Bea herself to Karen Travers in (18) as a \"\"bashing\"\", but is much later revealed, via flashback in (200), to have been strangulation. Bea visits the grave of her daughter, Debbie. Debbie got hooked on drugs while Bea was inside and her father did nothing to help her. She died of an overdose. Bea quickly takes advantage of her new freedom to pick up a gun from an old mate, pay a visit to her husband and coolly shoot him dead."

The train was on its regular run from the Victor stamp mill to Denver, Co. The four train robbers were killed shortly thereafter in a running gunfight with pursuing lawmen, but none of the gold was recovered. Posse members made a rough search of the area at the time, but there was no sign of the stolen gold. For years afterward, prospectors and treasure hunters searched for the hidden loot, but it has never been reported found. Midland Train leaving gold district 1897Virginia Dale Stage Station I n 1863, a stagecoach along the Overland Trail carrying an army payroll of $60,000 (which would be about $1 million dollars today) in ten and twenty dollar gold coins was destined for Fort Sanders in Wyoming Territory. The gold shipment represented several months of back pay for the soldiers at Fort Sanders; however, the unfortunate soldiers never saw the gold. Only about a mile from the Virginia Dale Station, the stage was robbed by six masked outlaws at Long View Hill. The gang took the strongbox from the stage and headed west towards the wooded foothills, where they blew the lock off of the box, removed the gold coins, and buried the treasure. However, before they could spend their ill-gained wealth, the bandits were pursued and killed by the U. S. Cavalry. The Cavalry later found the iron strong box in a nearby creek, the sides and bottom gone, riddled with bullet holes – and, obviously, empty. The Overland Trail stage line was regularly terrorized by outlaws, where the surrounding area provided multiple opportunistic hideouts."

Colditz Castle 1943The prisoners' dramatic and ingenious escapes have been the subject of over 40 books, two films, board games, video games and a popular TV series. Scene from the Colditz Story, 1953Colditz History International Collection of Bad Boys Officers who had escaped from other POW camps or had otherwise given the Germans trouble were sent to this grim castle on the Mulde river. This prison was unusual in having officers of different nationalities housed together in the same camp. Polish officers were the first residents, followed by British, Canadian, Australian, New Zealanders, Dutch, Belgian, and French. Later in the war, the prisoners were predominantly British. A handful of Americans were also imprisoned there at the very end. A few enlisted men were kept there who acted as orderlies, basically servants, for the higher ranking officers. Captain Reinhold Eggers, the former German security officer, wrote in his book, Colditz, The German Story, \"\"You might think at first sight that the place was impregnable. It probably was, but apart from putting bars on the windows it had never really been built for the purpose of keeping people in."

Washington congressmen were not interested in the device and the invention was a failure (U. S. Patent 90,646).1875 Quadruplex Telegraph A telegraph system which was capable of sending two messages simultaneously in each direction on the same wire (US Patent 209,241).1877 Phonograph The invention which first gained edison fame. The phonograph, record player, or gramophone is a device that was mostly commonly used from the late 1870s through the 1980s for playing sound recordings. Thomas Alva Edison conceived the principle of recording and reproducing sound as a byproduct of his efforts to \"\"play back\"\" recorded telegraph messages and to automate speech sounds for transmission by telephone. Edison's early phonographs recorded onto a tinfoil sheet phonograph cylinder using an up-down (\"\"hill-and-dale\"\") motion of the stylus. The tinfoil sheet was wrapped around a grooved cylinder, and the sound was recorded as indentations into the foil. Edison's early patents show that he also considered the idea that sound could be recorded as a spiral onto a disc, but Edison concentrated his efforts on cylinders, since the groove on the outside of a rotating cylinder provides a constant velocity to the stylus in the groove, which Edison considered more \"\"scientifically correct\"\".

At his laboratory at Menlo Park, New Jersey, Edison merged the machine shop with sophisticated electrical and chemical laboratories and employed teams of researchers who could experiment on all aspects of his inventions and move them rapidly from research to development and commercialization. Previous article Next article Keywordsindustry Thomas Edison's death in October 1931 seemed to many to mark the passing of an era. At the end of his life Edison seemed a figure from a bygone era, an untutored genius whose cut-and-try method of invention had given way to organized scientific research. This view of the inventor was certainly evident in an issue of Science that appeared shortly after his death, in which some of the country's leading directors of industrial research appraised his work. As historian Thomas Hughes notes, by the time Edison died ‘the words “invention” and “inventor” had fallen into disuse and ”, “development” and “industrial scientist’’ ’ seemed to signify a new style. In his own appraisal, Hughes suggests that these directors of industrial research should not have ‘compared him to the industrial scientist of the 1920s; they should have compared him to themselves’ 1. It had been more than 50 years since Edison had created the first industrial research laboratory at Menlo Park, New Jersey, USA, and some 20 years since he had developed a significant invention at his later, larger laboratory in West Orange, New Jersey. During the intervening years, 19th century inventions had come to be seen as the work of lone geniuses drawing on some kind of innate Yankee ingenuity. In fact, most were the product of what we might term ‘shop invention’."

In addition, he created the world’s first industrial research laboratory. Thomas Edison, seen late in life in this video, was the most famous inventor in American history. Though he is best known for his invention of the phonograph and incandescent electric light, Edison took out 1,093 patents in a variety of fields, including electric light and power, telephony and telegraphy, and sound recording. His public image as a homespun, untutored genius actually concealed a thinker who was quite systematic and methodical and who collaborated closely with machinists, designers, and scientists in his laboratory at Menlo Park, N. J. Edison was the quintessential American inventor in the era of Yankee ingenuity. He began his career in 1863, in the adolescence of the telegraph industry, when virtually the only source of electricity was primitive batteries putting out a low-voltage current. Before he died, in 1931, he had played a critical role in introducing the modern age of electricity. From his laboratories and workshops emanated the phonograph, the carbon-button transmitter for the telephone speaker and microphone, the incandescent lamp, a revolutionary generator of unprecedented efficiency, the first commercial electric light and power system, an experimental electric railroad, and key elements of motion-picture apparatus, as well as a host of other inventions.

Edison’s family moved to Port Huron, Michigan in 1854. Throughout his childhood, Thomas Edison was full of curiosity about how things worked and always asked a lot of questions. He didn’t do very well in a traditional school setting, and often got punished for annoying the teacher with too many questions. As a result, after the age of twelve, he was home-schooled by his mother. His interest in science was first sparked when his mother bought him his first scientific book, The School of Natural Philosophy. He thoroughly studied the book and performed all the experiments described in it at home. He soon set up his own laboratory in his room and began performing original experiments."

Before William Gilbert, all that was known about electricity and magnetism was that the lodestone possessed magnetic properties and that rubbing amber and jet would attract bits of stuff to start sticking. In 1600, William Gilbert published his treatise \"\"De magnete, Magneticisique Corporibus\"\" (On the Magnet). Printed in scholarly Latin, the book explained years of Gilbert's research and experiments on electricity and magnetism. Gilbert raised the interest in the new science greatly. It was Gilbert who coined the expression \"\"electrica\"\" in his famous book. Early Inventors Inspired and educated by William Gilbert, several Europeans inventors, including Otto von Guericke of Germany, Charles Francois Du Fay of France, and Stephen Gray of England expanded the knowledge. Otto von Guericke was the first to prove that a vacuum could exist. Creating a vacuum was essential for all kinds of further research into electronics. In 1660, von Guericke invented the machine that produced static electricity; this was the first electric generator."

In the years before the move, Edison's laboratory and shops were in rented buildings in Newark. We don’t know why Edison moved out of the city but he said \"\"the cause of this move was trouble I had about rent.\"\" However, in April 1878, he told a reporter from the Philadelphia Times \"\"I couldn't get peace and quiet in Newark and was run down by visitors.\"\" In late 1875, looking for land on which he could build a laboratory to his own specifications, Edison’s father was looking around the New Jersey countryside for real estate.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from War of Currents)navigation search American inventor and businessman Thomas Edison established the first investor-owned electric utility in 1882, basing its infrastructure on DC power. The American entrepreneur and engineer George Westinghouse introduced a rival AC-based power distribution network in 1886. The war of the currents (sometimes called battle of the currents) was a series of events surrounding the introduction of competing electric power transmission systems in the late 1880s and early 1890s. It included commercial competition, a debate over electrical safety, and a media/ propaganda campaign that grew out of it, with the main players being the direct current (DC)–based Edison Electric Light Company and the alternating current (AC)–based Westinghouse Electric Company. It took place during the introduction and rapid expansion of the alternating current standard (already in use and advocated by several US and European companies [1]) and its eventual adoption over the direct current distribution system. Three aspects have been conflated into the \"\"war\"\": open competition involving large electric companies and a format war involving their developing systems, a general fear in the public's mind of death by accidental electrocution from high voltage AC leading to a debate over its safety and regulation, and the debate and behind-the-scene maneuvers associated with the introduction of the electric chair. [ 2]The introduction of large scale outdoor arc lighting systems in the mid- to late-1870s, [3] [4] some of them powered by high-voltage alternating current, was followed in 1882 by Thomas Edison 's low voltage DC electric distribution \"\" utility \"\" designed for indoor business and residential use as an alternative to gas and oil-based lighting. In 1886 George Westinghouse began building an alternating current system that used a transformer to step up voltage for long-distance transmission and then stepped it back down for indoor lighting, a more efficient and less expensive system that directly competed for the market the Edison system was designed to serve. As many other electric companies joined in and the use of AC spread rapidly, Edison's company made claims in early 1888 that alternating current was hazardous and inferior to the patented direct current system. In the spring of 1888, a media furor arose over a series of deaths caused by pole-mounted high-voltage AC lines in New York City and around the country, attributed to the greed and callousness of the local AC-based lighting companies."

This was his only public education, although his mother continued his education. She taught him reading, writing, and arithmetic. Thomas's mother read to him from well-known English writers, like Edward Gibbon, William Shakespeare, and Charles Dickens. When Thomas was twelve he earned a job selling newspapers and apples on the Detroit and Port Huron branch of the Grand Trunk Railroad. Somewhere around this time, Edison's hearing started to decline. Some think that it was due to a childhood attack of scarlet fever.

"text": "Famous Inventors: Thomas Edison By Gene Quinn May 16, 20096Print Article An argument can be made that Benjamin Franklin may be the most famous American inventor, but without a doubt the most prolific and influential American inventor was Thomas Alva Edison. It is indeed difficult to imagine the modern world without scientific contributions and inventions of Edison. Nevertheless, Edison did have failures, including his failed support of DC power over AC power, but Edison never let failure stand between him and success. Known as the Wizard of Menlo Park, Edison received over one thousand US patents, the first of which was filed on October 13, 1868, when he was the tender age of 21. Perhaps Edison’s most famous inventions were the phonograph, motion pictures and the light-bulb. Truth be told, however, he really didn’t “invent” the lightbulb, but rather he improved upon the technology by developing a light-bulb that used a lower current electricity, a small carbonized filament, and an improved vacuum inside the globe. Edison’s invention lead to a reliable, long-lasting source of light.» Selected Inventions of Edison1868 Edison executed a patent application for his electric vote recorder, for which he later is issued his first patent.1874 Edison invents the quadruplex telegraph, ownership of which is disputed by Western Union and Jay Gould’s Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Company.1875 Edison invents an “autographic press” kit, to be used to assist businesses in making copies of documents. The kit included an electric pen, a small battery, a press, ink, and supplies.1877 Edison worked on a telephone transmitter that greatly improved on Alexander Graham Bell’s work with the telephone. His transmitter made it possible for voices to be transmitted at higer volume and with greater clarity over standard telephone lines.1879 Using lower current electricity, a small carbonized filament, and an improved vacuum inside the globe, Edison was able to produce a reliable, long-lasting source of light.1880 The commercial production of electric lamps begins at the Edison Lamp Works in Menlo Park.1881 Edison executes twenty-three patent applications on electric lighting.1882 During the spring and summer Edison executed fifty-three patent applications covering electric lighting, electric railways, and secondary batteries."

This site will try to focus on Menlo Park -- what it looked like back then, when Edison's father Samuel selected it as the place to build one of the most famous laboratories in history. Virtual Tour: Menlo Park Now and Then Photos TAE Ads Maps Introduction Paul Israel's book, Edison - A Life of Invention (Copyright 1998, published by John Wiley & Sons), discusses the move to Menlo Park (page 118):... Edison put his experimental work into hiatus as he prepared to move his family and his laboratory to Menlo Park, New Jersey. Edison later claimed that he decided to abandon Newark because of a lawsuit brought by Thomas Slaight, the padlock manufacturer who owned the building where he had established a small shop with Joseph Murray in February 1872. According to Edison, a Newark law \"\"made a monthly renter liable for a year\"\" and this \"\"seemed so unjust that I determined to get out of the place that permitted such an injustice\"\". Most likely, Edison simply wanted to build the kind of laboratory that he had begun working toward ever since his return from England and he found Newark too costly. In December 1875 he had sent his father to investigate possible sites, and at the end of the month he purchased two tracts of land and a house in Menlo Park."

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories History, Politics & Society Society and Civilization Famous People Scientists Thomas Edison Why did Edison invent the light bulb? Flag Why did Edison invent the light bulb? Answer by Richard Loberger Confidence votes 15.0KThe better and earlier lamp (what we now call the high efficiency light bulb or florescent bulb) was invented by Tesla, but would not work on the inferior power system that Edison had built. The need was for a bulb that would work on D. C. or A. C. Edison is credited by most people for inventing the bulb even though the arc lamp and florescent were being used before him. The real answer is that he didn't invent the lightbulb. He had only improved on what someone else did 59 years before him. And in order to avoid legal battle joined with the real inventor Warren De la Rue and then James Swan to market the lightbulb in Europe. To say he invented it is farfetched when the proper research is done. But to say who created the better product of that time would be more proper and Edison would fit that bill because he did work to make the better product. He made it because he felt he should contact people in a different wayand because you would use coal for your fire so he thought it would be nice if you got loght from a different source."

The Rise of an Industry Insull Builds the Modern Power Grid Electricity Becomes Politicized A Powerful Vision Affordable, reliable electricity is fundamental to modern life. It provides clean, safe light around the clock, it cools our homes on hot summer days (and heats many of them in winter), and it quietly breathes life into the digital world we tap into with our smart phones and computers. Although hundreds of millions of Americans plug into the electric grid every day, most of us don’t give it a second thought. Where does it come from? What’s its story? When we take a fresh look at electricity, we see that keeping America powered up is actually an amazing feat—an everyday miracle. Here’s the Story of Electricity. Revolutionary Power Although people have known about electricity since ancient times, they’ve only been harnessing its power for about 250 years. Benjamin Franklin’s electricity experiments – including his famous kite experiment in 1752 – showed just how little we knew about electricity in the era of the American revolution and the first industrial revolution. [ 1] In the time since Franklin’s experiments, our grasp of electricity has grown tremendously, and we are constantly finding new ways to use it to improve our lives."

Answer by Vijaliet Confidence votes 25In the 5th cent. B. C. the Greek philosophers Democritus and Leucippus proposed that matter was made up of tiny, indivisible particles they called atom, or in Greek \"\"a-tomos\"\". The reason why they assumed this is because nothing can come from nothing. Around 1803, John Dalton (1766-1844) developed the first useful atomic theory of matter. He imagined the atom as a sphere full of an electrically positive substance mixed with negative electron. Then in 1897, Thompson discovered the first component part of the atom: the electron, a particle with a negative electric charge. Discovery of the Atom By the 19th century, technology had advanced greatly and many elements had been discovered to work with. Using the available elements scientist such as John Dalton and Amedeo Avogadro forced them to interact with one another."

The particle first named \"\"corpuscles\"\" by Thomson, it was later renamed \"\"Electron\"\" by a proposal of Irish physicist George F. Fitzgerald that has gained universal acceptance. Protons are subatomic particles that, with neutrons and electrons, are the principal constituents of atoms. Protons are positively charged particles that reside in the nucleus of an atom. These protons add the overall positive charge of a molecule. The mass of the proton is about 1,840 times the mass of the electron."

A member of the actinide series, it is the seventh transuranic element. Einsteinium was discovered as a component of the debris of the first hydrogen bomb explosion in 1952, and named after Albert Einstein. Its most common isotope einsteinium-253 (half-life 20.47 days) is produced artificially from decay of californium -253 in a few dedicated high-power nuclear reactors with a total yield on the order of one milligram per year. The reactor synthesis is followed by a complex process of separating einsteinium-253 from other actinides and products of their decay. Other isotopes are synthesized in various laboratories, but at much smaller amounts, by bombarding heavy actinide elements with light ions. Owing to the small amounts of produced einsteinium and the short half-life of its most easily produced isotope, there are currently almost no practical applications for it outside basic scientific research. In particular, einsteinium was used to synthesize, for the first time, 17 atoms of the new element mendelevium in 1955. Einsteinium is a soft, silvery, paramagnetic metal."

DNA analyses of skeletal remains of plague victims from the 6th century AD found traces of Yersinia pestis, the bacterium that causes plague, has already been linked with at least two of the most devastating pandemics in recorded history. Now researchers believe it also caused the Justinianic Plague of the sixth to eighth centuries, which killed more than 100 million people - and some historians believe contributed to the decline of the Roman Empire. An artist's recreation of the Byzantine Empire under Justinian I - which was decimated by the plague JUSTINIAN PLAGUEThe Plague of Justinian (AD 541–542) was a pandemic that afflicted the Eastern Roman Empire, including its capital Constantinople. At its peak, 5,000 people per day in Constantinople died from it, killing half the population. From there, the plague moved east and west, becoming antiquity's most lethal known pandemic. Half a century after it began, between 25 million and 100 million in Europe and Asia had died. The plague's social and cultural impact during the Justinian period has been compared to that of the Black Death. Some historians say the damage was so great to the Persian and Byzantine empires that it made them vulnerable to the Muslim conquests of the next century."

They are so tiny that we can’t even observe with our naked eye. Normally atoms are in the Angstrom range. After a lot of experiments, the atomic structure was described during the 19 th century. Atom is made up of a nucleus, which has protons and neutrons. Other than neutrons and positrons there are other small sub atomic particles in the nucleus. And there are electrons circling around the nucleus in orbitals. Most of the space in an atom is empty. The attractive forces between the positive charged nucleus (positive charge due to protons) and the negatively charged electrons maintain the atom’s shape. Both protons and neutrons are nucleons."

He married Amelia Grimes, of Liverpool, in 1847, but she died in 1854. He spent the rest of his life with his two children in various residences in the neighborhood of Manchester.

For the year 1938, Time had chosen Adolf Hitler as the man who \"\"for better or worse\"\" (as Time founder Henry Luce expressed it) had most influenced events of the preceding year. The cover picture featured Hitler playing \"\"his hymn of hate in a desecrated cathedral while victims dangle on a St. Catherine's wheel and the Nazi hierarchy looks on.\"\" This picture was drawn by Baron Rudolph Charles von Ripper, a German Catholic who had fled Hitler's Germany. The Man of the Year cover had been a Time tradition since 1927 when Charles Lindbergh became the first Man of the Year. Ironically, Lindbergh was an admirer of Hitler and Nazi Germany; he became active in the America First organization which opposed America entering World War II in the fight against Adolf Hitler. The article about the 1938 Man of the Year in the January 2, 1939 issue of Time is quoted below: January 2, 1939------------------------------------------------------------------------Adolf Hitler Greatest single news event of 1938 took place on September 29, when four statesmen met at the Führerhaus, in Munich, to redraw the map of Europe. The three visiting statesmen at that historic conference were Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain of Great Britain, Premier Edouard Daladier of France, and Dictator Benito Mussolini of Italy. But by all odds the dominating figure at Munich was the German host, Adolf Hitler. Führer of the German people, Commander-in-Chief of the German Army, Navy & Air Force, Chancellor of the Third Reich, Herr Hitler reaped on that day at Munich the harvest of an audacious, defiant, ruthless foreign policy he had pursued for five and a half years."

These ascended masters have chosen of their own free will to be reborn to this place in order to teach humanity.

"text": "Politics, Propaganda, and War: the Debasement of Language in the 20th Century November 22, 2011 · Leave a Comment Both George Orwell and Stuart Chase agree that language is affected by the political atmosphere in which it is used. In the harsh times of ideological battle and violent warfare, language is especially vulnerable to manipulations and contortions that result from its misuse by the media, political parties, and propagandists. The two authors refer to this degeneration of meaning in language as “bad language,” mental miscommunication, mental vice, and many other names. In “Politics and the English Language”, Orwell projects that “when the general atmosphere is bad, language must suffer” (Orwell 282). Chase reinforces this point in The Tyranny of Language, referring to the condition of American English: “from 1870 to 1914 in the United States this kind of thing did not make so much difference. Men were busy overrunning a continent, and words could not seriously deflect the course of hustling and impetuous action. But those of us who have lived through the Great War, the Great Boom, the Great Depression, and now observe the rise of the dictators abroad are not so easy in our minds as were our fathers…” (Chase 351). The actions which “our fathers” could carry out did not rely on political moralizing to justify its actions; justification seemed to exist as a given in the expansionist atmosphere of this pre-war, pre-20 th century English-speaking world. During this time, America eagerly raced to tame its last frontiers as the British Empire continued to tighten its imperial tentacles over most of the world. Before the atomic bomb, the Russian Revolution, the rise of Fascism, the Spanish Civil War, and the atrocities of trench warfare during the Great War, life seemed stable, almost idyllic compared with the ravaged landscape of the 1930’s and 1940’s."

"text": "Commentary by Dr. Gerhard Falk The Refugees Come to America The Jewish refugees who were fortunate enough to receive an American visa and an affidavit of support were faced with yet another obstacle before they could come to the United States. That was the fare on an ocean going vessel. In 1938 and most years during the 1930’s the cost of traveling from a European port to New York city on an ocean liner was about $188. That translated to $3,082 in 2013 money. In view of the impoverishment of the German Jews by Nazi decrees, the refugees needed the help of American residents or charitable organizations to pay for that travel. Evidently, even two travelers became quite expensive and families of four would have cost upward of $12,000 in 21 st century funds. For that reason a number or American relatives and friends were willing to allow one person of a family to come to the United States but were seldom in a position to bring whole families to America. This means that a good number of refugees came to the United States alone with the intent of securing the necessary documents and money from American citizens so as to bring their families to the United States later. Yet, “later” often meant that the families thus left behind had already been deported before any help could be arranged. It was therefore left to American charitable organizations to provide the refugees with affidavits of support and travel expenses which in many cases also included staying in a hotel outside of Germany while waiting for a ship to take them across."

"text": "What kind of antisemite was Leni Riefenstahl? She claimed to be ignorant of Hitler’s plans, but is that true? And if it is, how do we judge her work? By Jacob Shamsian After the Holocaust, the common excuse given by German soldiers was “I was just following orders.” Leni Riefenstahl, a German director who made films for Adolf Hitler, argued her case along different lines – that she was unaware of Hitler’s atrocities towards the Jews. After the Holocaust, she defended her movies as factual documentaries without any perspective, saying that they were not propaganda films that glorified Nazis. It’s unlikely, however, that her claims of ignorance about the situation with the Jews were truthful. If she was ignorant, it was by choice, but more likely she knew about the situation and chose not to act on it. Riefenstahl defends her movies Triumph of the Will and her two-part Olympia as works of art, not propaganda films. Triumph of the Will, released in 1935, is a purported documentary of the 1934 Nazi Party Congress in Nuremberg, featuring footage of troops, speeches from Nazi party leaders, and excited reactions from the German citizens present."

"text": "\"navigation search Fascism is a big government, totalitarian, economic, and political ideology that arose in early twentieth century Europe and came to dominate the social and political systems of Italy under Benito Mussolini and Germany under Adolf Hitler. Fascism was primarily statist in nature, relying on big government solutions and \"\" crony capitalism \"\", and openly hostile towards conventional religion. Fascism was influential in Portugal as well, and had followers in most European countries and in Argentina. The last regime that had some fascist elements, that of Francisco Franco in Spain, came to an end in 1975. Fascism was falsely considered \"\" Far-Right \"\" in politics, mostly due to Joseph Stalin denouncing Hitler and the National Socialists as \"\"right-wing\"\" after World War II, but it in reality was considered closer to the far-Left. [ 1]The name \"\"fascism\"\" derives from an ancient Roman symbol, the fasces, a group of birch rods bundled together with an axe. It symbolizes strength in unity; the rods are weak by themselves but strong when bundled together. Historian Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. has stated,“ The Fascists were not conservative in any very meaningful sense. They did not wish to preserve the existing order, or even to turn back the clock to some more stable century. They purposefully planned to transform the existing order into a new and all-absorbing authoritarianism, based upon the energies and frustrations of modern industrialism."

He was a slow learner and did poorly in school. He was frequently beaten by his authoritarian father. Things got worse when Adolf's older brother, Alois Jr., ran away from home. His mild-mannered mother occasionally tried to shield him, but was ineffectual. Adolf's attempt to run away at 11 was unsuccessful. At the age of 14 he was freed when his hated father died - an event that he did not mourn. Hitler dropped out of high school at age 16 and went to Vienna, where he strove to become an artist, but was refused twice by the Vienna Art Academy. By this time Hitler had become an ardent German nationalist--although he was not German but Austrian--and when World War I broke out, he crossed into Germany and and joined a Bavarian regiment in the German army. He was assigned as a message runner but also saw combat."

For the 1968 invasion, see Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia. The partition of Czechoslovakia in 1938–1939The German occupation of Czechoslovakia (1938–1945) began with the Nazi annexation of Czechoslovakia's northern and western border regions, known collectively as the Sudetenland, under terms outlined by the Munich Agreement. Nazi leader Adolf Hitler 's pretext for this effort was the alleged privations suffered by the ethnic German population living in those regions. New and extensive Czechoslovak border fortifications were also located in the same area. Following the Anschluss of Nazi Germany and Austria, in March 1938, the conquest of Czechoslovakia became Hitler's next ambition. The incorporation of the Sudetenland into Nazi Germany left the rest of Czechoslovakia weak and it became powerless to resist subsequent occupation. On 16 March 1939, the German Wehrmacht moved into the remainder of Czechoslovakia and, from Prague Castle, Hitler proclaimed Bohemia and Moravia the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. The occupation ended with the surrender of Germany following World War II.

In elections held weeks later in March, the Nazi Party further increased its numbers in the Reichstag, Germany’s legislature. It did not take long for the Nazis to take action against Germany’s Jewish population. On April 1st 1933, just weeks after Hitler’s appointment as chancellor, the Sturmabteilung (SA) initiated a campaign to encourage boycotts of Jewish-owned businesses. Across Germany, small Jewish stores were daubed with Stars of David or painted with slogans like Kauf nicht bei Juden (‘Don’t buy from Jews’). SA troopers lingered menacingly outside larger businesses owned by Jews, including department stores, cinemas or banks. There were several instances of Jews being assaulted or property being destroyed. The boycott was reported as being the work of the SA rather than the Nazi government; nevertheless, the government did little to halt or restrain it. Days later, on April 7th 1933, the Nazi-controlled Reichstag passed the Gesetz zur Wiederherstellung des Berufsbeamtentums (‘Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service’). It would be the first of dozens of anti-Semitic laws, edicts and decrees introduced by the Nazi regime during the 1930s."

[ 1] [2] While the Nazi party decreed that \"\"women could be admitted to neither the Party executive nor to the Administrative Committee\"\", [2] this did not prevent numerous women from becoming party members. The Nazi doctrine elevated the role of German men, emphasizing their combat skills and the brotherhood among male compatriots. [ 3]Women lived within a regime characterized by a policy of confining them to the roles of mother and spouse and excluding them from all positions of responsibility, notably in the political and academic spheres. The policies of Nazism contrasted starkly with the evolution of emancipation under the Weimar Republic, and is equally distinguishable from the patriarchal and conservative attitude under the German Empire. The regimentation of women at the heart of satellite organizations of the Nazi Party, as the Bund Deutscher Mädel or the NS-Frauenschaft, had the ultimate goal of encouraging the cohesion of the \"\"people's community\"\" Volksgemeinschaft. First and foremost in the implied Nazi doctrine concerning women was the notion of motherhood and procreation for those of child-bearing ages. [ 4] The Nazi model woman did not have a career, but was responsible for the education of her children and for housekeeping. Women only had a limited right to training revolving around domestic tasks, and were, over time, restricted from teaching in universities, from medical professions and from serving in political positions within the NSDAP. [ 5] Many restrictions were lifted once wartime necessity dictated changes to policy later in the regime's existence."

The Sudetenland was the name for northern, southwest, and western areas of pre-war Czechoslovakia, which - until 1945 - were inhabited mostly by German speakers. The Sudeten crisis began in February 1938 when Hitler demanded self-determination for all Germans in Austria and Czechoslovakia. The Sudeten Nazi Party called for union with Germany and started rioting. Such was the unrest that the Czechs had to send in the army."

The bombed-out ruins of Hitler's former residence were completely razed to the ground by the Bavarian government in 1952 at the request of the U. S. Army. The Berchtesgaden area was occupied by American troops shortly before the war ended on May 8, 1945. The Obersalzberg was turned into a recreational area for the American troops that occupied Germany after the war. After 50 years of American occupation, the Obersalzberg was given back to Germany in 1995. To this day, many Americans are confused by the names Berghof and Eagle's Nest, which are two separate places. The Berghof was located on a plateau called the Obersalzberg which is on the route to the top of the Kehlstein, the mountain where Hitler's tea house, called the Eagle's Nest, was built in 1938. To add to the confusion, Hitler had another tea house, called Mooslahnerkopf, which was a short walk from the Berghof. The German name for the Eagle's Nest is Kehlsteinhaus, which means house on Kehlstein mountain. There are many photographs of Hitler, Eva Braun and various Nazi officials that were taken on the terrace at Berghof, but have been mistakenly identified as photos taken at the Eagles's Nest."

So we've established that the septum piercing is having a moment. If you are thinking about taking the plunge because a fake septum piercing, like Rihanna's isn't doing it for you, here's all the critical intel. I've basically assembled a rundown of pretty much everything you need to know about getting a septum piercing, since that space between your nostrils ain't no joke. The best thing about a septum piercing (and the pretty septum jewelry that comes with it) is the fact that, unlike a tattoo, it's not permanent, and doesn't leave much of a trace if you decide to take the ring out for good. But that doesn't mean it's something to do on a lark or when you're, like, drunk or bored. Like any piercing, it requires care and respect so it doesn't get all infected and gross. However, it definitely looks really cool and is a unique accessory that can add a little edge to your overall look. You can go big, small, outrageous or classic with it. It's a versatile piercing that can be easily hidden from your boss, your parents, or anyone else you may not want to see it."

"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."

I can honestly say nothing has worked for my acne like this does. I live in Australia, so i have to pay extra for shipping so unfortunately i don't get it as cheap but i have still probably brought this around 5 times now! My skin is best when using this and whenever I stop, I can see the difference. I have tried nearly all the drugstore cleansers and scrubs and none of them have worked to this extent. After approximately 4 days of initially using this soap, i noticed major improvements. My acne is now almost non-existent. I have to say though, this doesn't do much for scaring. Also, it an be pretty drying so moisturising after is a must. Definitely worth giving this a go."

"text": "Her name was Emma. That’s what everyone called her, anyways. Sometimes they would call her Em, sometimes someone would slip up and call her Emily. She was a part of our group of girlfriends growing up in a large town, not quite big enough to be a city but big enough that there was still privacy between neighbors. We called ourselves the “Unbreakable Six,” because there was me, Summer, Mel, Nina, and Jules. And there was Emma. Emma started off as a practical joke by the other girls in the fourth grade. It was probably Jules that started it. She was always playing pranks of people. In high school, she even got suspended once for going too far, and had to babysit for hours to buy that girl a new cellphone."

"text": "Blocked Tear Duct1 What is Blocked Tear Duct?2 Symptoms3 Causes4 Making a Diagnosis5 Treatment6 Prevention7 Risks and Complications1 What is Blocked Tear Duct? A blocked tear duct is a condition in which there is a partial or complete blockage in the tear drainage system, which is a pathway that carries tears from your eyes into the nose. When there is a blocked tear duct, your tears cannot drain normally, which leaves your eye – watery and irritated. It is commonly seen in newborns, which usually resolves within the first year of life, without any treatment. In adults, a blocked tear duct may happen due to an injury, an infection or a tumor. It is almost always correctable. Treatment depends on the cause of the blockage as well as the age of person affected.2 Symptoms Signs and symptoms of a blocked tear duct may include: Increased tearing (epiphora) resulting in watery eyes or tears overflowing down your face. In infants, this appears during the first 2-3 weeks after birth. Redness in the white portion of your eye. Recurring eye infection or inflammation (pink eye)."

He and his wife purchased the h OMe plans early 2015 and hit the ground running. They modified the plans themselves, customizing them to fit their needs exactly. The end result is the incredible $8,000 tiny house: a pretty darn impressive 24′ self built tiny that includes a full bathroom and kitchen, a living room with a 7′ couch (that pulls out into a bed), two lofts, stairs, and more. Honestly, we were so impressed by how they worked the floor plan to fit so many things into the space, and their resourcefulness that we asked Wesley if he would be willing to share what he learned. World, meet Wesley!Building Tiny On A Budget By Wesley Birch Wesley and his wife’s self built $8,000 tiny house So you want to live the tiny life? I’m sure one of the reasons that most of us make the leap into the tiny world is because we are tired of the financial burden of the typical home. While researching tiny homes, my wife and I got a little overwhelmed by the $60,000 and up price tags on some of these tiny houses. We were then still overwhelmed by the $25,000 average cost to build a tiny house. We got creative and decided to build a twenty four foot tiny house with a $7,000 budget; we finished the build with about an $8,000 dollar price tag."

"text": "\"Surgery Pa-St Scleral Buckling Scleral buckling Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Definition Scleral buckling is a surgical procedure in which a piece of silicone plastic or sponge is sewn onto the sclera at the site of a retinal tear to push the sclera toward the retinal tear. The buckle holds the retina against the sclera until scarring seals the tear. It also prevents fluid leakage which could cause further retinal detachment . Purpose Scleral buckling is used to reattach the retina if the break is very large or if the tear is in one location. It is also used to seal breaks in the retina. Demographics Retinal detachment occurs in 25,000 Americans each year. Patients suffering from retinal detachments are commonly nearsighted, have had eye surgery, experienced ocular trauma, or have a family history of retinal detachments. Retinal detachments also are common after cataract removal. White males are at a greater risk, as are people who are middle-aged or older. Patients who already have had a retinal detachment also have a greater chance for another detachment."

There is only one Pomeranian dog breed in the USA and in all of the other countries in the world. \"\" Teacup\"\" in regard to Pomeranians is a marketing term - and if the dog is truly undersized, it refers to a dangerously tiny dog. However, this term may be used by breeders as a verb (meaningful small) to describe a Pomeranian that falls on the low end of the accepted weight scale. These would be 3 or 4 lb. Poms (1.36 -1.81 kg). What is not acceptable, would be a breeder who purposefully breeds unethically, to produce dogs that are a smaller size than the established standard that is considered safe; These would be smaller than 3 lb. ( 1.36 kg) dogs. How small must the Pom be before people realize that there is no need for a \"\"Teacup\"\" Pomeranian? The only real and recognized breed is simply the \"\"Pomeranian\"\"."

But songwriters and singers are notorious for revising the history of a given song in order to avoid any conflicts with a changed world-view, new political disposition, updated image, etc. So I'm not sure if the original meaning of this song's lyrics will truly come to light even if you've read what's written in the aforementioned book. In any case, here's my take on this song: First, we have to look at the context in which this song was created: It was co-written by Bowie and Iggy Pop during their mutual stint in Berlin. The important things to remember here are: Germany, Drugs, and the climate in a divided Berlin in the late 70's (when this song was actually written for Pop's album \"\"The Idiot\"\"). So... In a nutshell, the song is about addiction/dependence on narcotics - most likely heroin. When the majority of this song's lyrics are viewed through this lens, the song's meaning is quite easily understood. There are, however, two themes here. Drug Addiction is the first; and the \"\"destructive potential of Westerners/White men\"\" is the second. These two themes are linked by allusions to both how potentially destructive a person addicted to something can be (like Hitler addicted simultaneously to POWER and METHAMPHETAMINE), and paradoxically the power of narcotics to sooth the minds of men. \"\""

His maternal grandparents were German, and his father was of Irish, German, and Austrian-Jewish ancestry. He was raised partly by his grandparents, living on their poultry farm in the Canoga Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. Cranston's father walked out on the family when Cranston was 11 years old, and they did not see each other again until 11 years later, when Cranston and his brother decide to track down their father. Cranston is known for his roles as Walter White on the AMC crime drama Breaking Bad (2008), Hal on the Fox situation comedy Malcolm in the Middle (2000), and Dr. Tim Whatley on five episodes of the NBC situation comedy Seinfeld (1989). For his role on \"\"Breaking Bad\"\", he won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series four times (2008-2010, 2014), including three consecutive wins. After becoming one of the producers during the series' fourth and fifth seasons, he also won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series twice. In June 2014, Cranston won the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play for his portrayal of Lyndon Johnson in the play \"\"All the Way\"\" on Broadway. He reprised the role of Lyndon Johnson in the television adaptation All the Way (2016), which earned him widespread praise by critics. For the biographical drama Trumbo (2015), he earned widespread acclaim and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor."

Emmy's Category Breakdown: Outstanding Comedy While you never want to discount inertia as an Emmy voter's default position, there's a palpable sense that the time has come to move on from Modern. That doesn't mean there's been a drastic drop in the show's quality or that it's no longer one of TV's best. But there are newer good shows out there, and while Modern would still be a deserving winner, it's time to let some other comedy share the Emmy love. The best choice for a successor would be Silicon Valley, a terrifically funny series that best matches Modern's combination of brains and heart."

Nichols, 83, who directed \"\"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf\"\" and \"\"The Graduate,\"\" was the husband of former \"\"ABC World News\"\" anchor Diane Sawyer. Nichols' influence looms large in entertainment. He was among the founders of the Compass Players, the predecessor to the Chicago-based comedy troupe Second City, which has been a proving ground for comic talent for more than four decades. Share your memories of Mike Nichols As a performer with Elaine May in the late '50s and early '60s, he took comedy into places it had seldom gone before, bringing an improvisational swagger and intellectual edge to a field that had been dominated by joke-telling standups. JUST WATCHEDDirector Mike Nichols dies at 83Replay More Videos ... Director Mike Nichols dies at 83 01:52\"\"Nichols and May combined the political and social satire of (Mort) Sahl and (Lenny) Bruce with the inspired comic skits of (Sid) Caesar and (Imogene) Coca,\"\" wrote Sam Kashner in a 2013 Vanity Fair profile. Nichols was also an outstanding theater director. At one point in 1967, he had four plays running on Broadway -- including two by Neil Simon, \"\"Barefoot in the Park\"\" and \"\"The Odd Couple\"\" -- and he was a go-to guy for stage works until the end of his life, helming Tom Stoppard's \"\"The Real Thing\"\" (1984), \"\"Monty Python's Spamalot\"\" (2005) and a 2012 revival of \"\"Death of a Salesman\"\" starring Philip Seymour Hoffman. But he's probably best known for his movies, including the groundbreaking \"\"The Graduate\"\" (1967), the Oscar-nominated \"\"Silkwood\"\" (1983) and box-office smash \"\"The Birdcage\"\" (1996). He was known as an \"\"actor's director,\"\" one able to pull strong performances from his ensemble and capable of seeing things others didn't."

The film established Shyamalan as a writer and director, and introduced the cinema public to his traits, most notably his affinity for surprise endings.

The film was the second-highest-grossing film of 1999 (behind Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace ), grossing about $293 million domestically and $672 million worldwide, making it, at the time, the highest-grossing horror film of all time in unadjusted dollars (it was surpassed in 2017 by It ).

"text": "\"From Thursday, August 08, 2002.: From AP and other sources. Tonya Harding was ordered by a Camas, Wash. judge Thursday to serve 10 days in jail for violating her probation for an earlier assault conviction by drinking alcohol. Tonya Harding leaves the courthouse in Camas, Wash. (KGW Photo) Judge Darvin Zimmerman's decision comes just days after the 31-year old former Olympic competitor admitted in a Clark County courtroom to driving drunk. The Camas-Washougal municipal judge could have sentenced her to more than 5 1/2 months in jail on the probation violation, but instead gave Harding just a month in jail. The sentence was suspended to 10 days, provided Harding completes 12 hours of classes for troubled young adults. Harding has asked to do her time in isolation because she said she suffers from panic attacks. She will enter a Washington state detention center on August 20. The judge took no action on the matter. It's unclear if the place where Harding will serve her time -- a detention center in Vancouver, Wash. -- is equipped to shield celebrities from other prisoners."

"text": "\"Olympics in Pop Culture: An Epic Timeline of Sporty Celebs and Hollywood Memoriesby Natalie Finn | Mon., Jul. 9, 2012 5:30 AMKeystone Features/Getty Images, FOX, General Mills Michael Phelps may have the most Olympic medals of any athlete, ever—but, guess what, he didn't exactly reinvent the wheel when it comes to being a celebrity out of the pool. Meaning, the record-smashing champion—awe-inspiring as he may be—is just one in a long, long, long line of men and women whose skills (or, at times, their antics or amazing B-movies) have resulted in their being added to the annals of pop culture, regardless of their medal tallies. A hefty amount of gold helps, of course—as do winning smiles, eight-pack abs, unreal arms, legs that encourage belief in the possibility of human flight and the ability to capture hearts with a few soundbites. But, especially these days, you never quite know just what is going to make people remember an athlete, for better or worse. So, with the 2012 London Olympics just two weeks away, take a look back at how Hollywood, the media, clothing companies and the makers of breakfast cereal have been capitalizing on these quadrennial favorites for the last 100 years!MORE: The Olympics Go to the Movies: Sweat, Tears, Triumph and Toe Picks!1912: Football, baseball and basketball pro Jim Thorpe —widely considered to be the premier athlete of the 20th century and later immortalized by Burt Lancaster in Jim Thorpe: All-American —ended up being way ahead of his time, but in an unfortunate way. The winner of the pentathlon and decathlon in Stockholm (legend has it he said, \"\"Thanks, King,\"\" when Gustav V called him the greatest athlete in the world), Thorpe was stripped of his medals in 1913 after officials ruled his two seasons of minor-league baseball broke the Games' amateurs-only policy. ( He was making a whopping $2 a day as a pro.) The medals were restored to him posthumously in 1983 and his name lives on, both in history and on celluloid.1924: British runners Harold Abramson and Eric Liddell traveled different roads on their way to Olympic gold in the 100-meter and 400-meter track-and-field events. But the 1981 classic Chariots of Fire made sure that their stories met in the middle (and that they had the most well-known running music ever).1924-1928: Austro-Hungarian hunk Johnny Weissmuller won five gold medals for swimming—and Hollywood took notice."

"text": "Neon; Steve Slocum/AP/REX/Shutterstock Oliver Gettell January 11, 2018 AT 06:16 PM ESTCall it Not I, La Vona. La Vona “Sandy” Golden, the estranged mother of disgraced Olympic skater Tonya Harding, is disputing her daughter’s allegations of childhood abuse, which have received new attention after the release of the darkly comic biopic I, Tonya. “I didn’t abuse any of my children,” Golden says in a preview of the ABC News special Truth and Lies: The Tonya Harding Story, airing Thursday night. “ Spanked? Yes, [I] spanked. Absolutely, positively you [have] got to show them right from wrong. ”Harding has alleged that her mother abused her throughout her childhood, and once even threw a steak knife at her. “ I don’t think that there was more than one day a week, sometimes, that I didn’t get beaten,” Harding tells ABC in the special. In I, Tonya — which was released last month and has gained momentum as an awards contender, including a Golden Globes win for Allison Janney’s portrayal of Golden — Harding and her mother’s tumultuous relationship is on full display. ( It’s worth noting that the film wears its subjectivity on its sleeve, and begins with a disclaimer: “Based on irony free, wildly contradictory, totally true interviews with Tonya Harding and [ex-husband] Jeff Gillooly."

Just seven weeks before the 1994 Olympic Games, figure skating frontrunner Nancy Kerrigan was brutally clubbed in the knee as she left her practice rink in Detroit. The shocking twist: the assailant was a man who had been hired by the ex-husband and bodyguard of another Olympic hopeful, Tonya Harding. The media couldn’t get enough of the scandal that had all the elements of a Lifetime TV movie: a beautiful figure-skating victim, a brutal attack, and a rival from the wrong side of the tracks. ( The scandal landed on the cover of PEOPLE twice in early 1994. ) The story turned Kerrigan and Harding into household names. Kerrigan wasn’t badly hurt, and made the 1994 Olympic team. Harding, who had not yet been convicted of her role in the attack, also made the team. Kerrigan walked away with the silver medal, while Harding fumbled on the ice and finished in 8th place after her lace broke.

Subscribe to The Atlantic Daily, our free weekday email newsletter. The nominations for the 90th Academy Awards, announced Tuesday, rewarded a robust group of Best Picture contenders, including The Shape of Water, Dunkirk, Lady Bird, Get Out, Phantom Thread, and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Notably competing in the top category are genres often snubbed by the Oscars, such as horror and teen coming-of-age comedies. In a politically charged year for the country, the film industry’s biggest awards body gravitated toward movies with defined points of view, told by established artists (Guillermo del Toro, Christopher Nolan) and newer directors (Greta Gerwig, Jordan Peele) with a strong presence behind the camera. The Shape of Water (with 13 nominations) and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (with seven nominations) are the nominal frontrunners in the Best Picture field. But this remains a relatively wide-open Oscar race with strong pockets of support for almost every nominee. As nearly all of the “precursor” awards (such as the Golden Globes, the Critics’ Choice Awards, and most of the guild awards) have already happened, the next few weeks will be defined by internal campaigning, which could concentrate backlash on a more polarizing contender like Three Billboards (which has drawn controversy for its muddled portrayal of police brutality).

Margot Robbie To Co-Produce Entertainment Amanda Katherine Harley Quinn is getting her own Suicide Squad spin-off film and Margot Robbie, who played Harley Quinn in the recent Suicide Squad movie, will be co-producing. Margot Robbie was raved about for her standout performance as the Joker’s equally insane paramour, Harley Quinn. Margot Robbie has confirmed that she will be the executive producer on a solo spin-off through her Lucky Chap Entertainment production company for Warner Bros. The Australian will work with her associates Tom Ackerley, Josey Mc Namara and Sophia Kerr. All three are currently wrapping up on Lucky Chap’s first film, Terminal. Suicide Squad established Harley Quinn’s backstory as Doctor Harleen Quinzel, psychiatrist to the Joker at Arkham Asylum. Harley Quinn and the Joker’s relationship became intrinsically abusive and the comics have separated the pair in recent years which could potentially be the direction that the solo Harley Quinn film will go in. Margot Robbie has more than just the Harley Quinn project on her hands, she is also developing a deal with Warner Bros. to include an adaptation of Dean N. Jensen’s Queen of the Air. The film will be a biopic based on the life of 1920s trapeze artist Lillian Leitzel according to Wired. Lucky Chap is also producing an upcoming Tonya Harding biopic I, Tonya, and an adaptation of Bad Monkeys."

Also Read: From 'Get Out' to 'The Post,' the Guilds Create Winners and Losers as Oscars Voting Begins“Molly’s Game,” meanwhile, made $7 million from its wide release to bring its total to $14.2 million. By comparison, Aaron Sorkin’s last film, “Steve Jobs,” made the same amount on its first weekend in wide release, but reached it on 2,493 screens. This means that “Molly’s Game” is getting more bang for its buck for STX, earning a PSA of $4,356 compared to $2,850 for “Jobs. ”Elsewhere, Fox’s “The Post” is keeping up its strong PSA leading up to its nationwide release next week. The film added $1.7 million from 36 screens this weekend for a $47,222 PSA and a $3.8 million total. Trackers have the film making an opening in the low $20 million range over the four-day Martin Luther King Jr. weekend."

After thousands of people evacuated, the crooks moved in on their homes and businesses.— Two 17-year-olds burglarized a home in Weston, and a deputy shot one of them, authorities said. The owners of a home in the 2500 block of Monterey Court were out of the country, but they spotted a burglary in progress on their home security cameras and called the Broward Sheriff’s Office. Deputies shot Dylan Lemon, of Weston, outside the home about 3 a.m. Sunday and arrested Jean Coello, also of Weston. The Sheriff’s Office did not explain the circumstances of the shooting. The wounded teen was hospitalized at Broward Health Medical Center.— Two burglars broke into six Fort Lauderdale homes overnight Saturday into Sunday.

The novel is named after its protagonist, Yuri Zhivago, a physician and poet, and takes place between the Russian Revolution of 1905 and World War II. Due to the author's independent-minded stance on the October Revolution, Doctor Zhivago was refused publication in the USSR. At the instigation of Giangiacomo Feltrinelli, the manuscript was smuggled to Milan and published in 1957. Pasternak was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature the following year, an event which embarrassed and enraged the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. [ 1]The novel was made into a film by David Lean in 1965, and since then has twice been adapted for television, most recently as a miniseries for Russian TV in 2006.

It can be difficult to follow for two main reasons: first, Pasternak employs many characters, who interact with each other throughout the book in unpredictable ways, and second, he frequently introduces a character by one of his/her three names, then subsequently refers to that character by another of the three names or a nickname, without expressly stating that he is referring to the same character. To avoid this confusion, the summary below uses a character's full name when the character is first introduced. Part 1 [ edit]Imperial Russia, 1903."

Though Harding was the first American woman to complete a triple axel in competition, her legacy was forever defined by her association with an infamous, ill-conceived, and even more poorly executed attack on fellow Olympic competitor Nancy Kerrigan. Featuring an iconic turn by Margot Robbie as the fiery Harding, a mustachioed Sebastian Stan as her impetuous ex-husband Jeff Gillooly, a tour-de-force performance from Allison Janney as her acid-tongued mother, La Vona Golden, and an original screenplay by Steven Rogers, Craig Gillespie's I, TONYA is an absurd, irreverent, and piercing portrayal of Harding's life and career in all of its unchecked--and checkered--glory.

[ 1]. It was signed on December 10, 1898, at the end of the Spanish-American War, and came into effect on April 11, 1899, when the ratifications were exchanged. [ 2] The Treaty signaled the end of the Spanish Empire in America and the Pacific Ocean (see also the German-Spanish Treaty (1899)), and marked the beginning of an age of United States colonial power. Platt Amendment, 1901 was an amendment to a joint resolution of the United States Congress, replacing the earlier Teller Amendment. [ 1] It stipulated the conditions for the withdrawal of United States troops remaining in Cuba at the end of the Spanish-American War and defined the terms of Cuban-U. S. relations until the 1934 Treaty of Relations. The Amendment ensured U. S. involvement in Cuban affairs and gave legal standing (in U. S. law) to U. S. claims to certain territories on the island including Guantanamo Bay Naval Base. [ 2]Open Door notes is a concept in foreign affairs, which usually refers to the policy in 1899 allowing multiple Imperial powers access to China, with none of them in control of that country. As a theory, the Open Door Policy originates with British commercial practice, as was reflected in treaties concluded with Qing Dynasty China after the First Opium War (1839-1842). [ 1] As a specific policy with regard to China, it was first advanced by the United States in the Open Door Notes of September-November 1899, authored by William Woodville Rockhill. [ 2] In 1898, the United States had become an East Asian power through the acquisition of the Philippine Islands, and when the partition of China by the European powers and Japan seemed imminent, the United States felt its commercial interests in China threatened."

The power of the feudal noblesse has passed away; the earlier rivalries between France and Austria take a new character; the centralized absolutist monarchy begins. We are coming to the days of the great ministers, - first Sully, then Richelieu, lastly Colbert, under whose rule France becomes great, almost in spite of her kings. The age now past had little to look back on with pleasure; the utter corruption of the court, reign after reign, the selfish partisanship of the nobles, and the harsh incidence of civil war, incline us to believe the age to have been thoroughly wretched. Yet the condition of the French people was less miserable than it had been; without seeing much prosperity we hear less of famine than in previous or in later ages; for civil wars do not so much exhaust the well-being of a country as might appear. It has been observed that the wars of the Roses did little to check the progress of England; and in like manner the wars of the League do not seem to have deeply afflicted France. These wars, in fact, were all the fighting of lords and princes with their retainers; they were languid and partial; and though their story might be wretched enough, the wretchedness of it chiefly fell on the heads of the belligerents themselves. There is no Jacquerie in this age, as in the 15th and as in the 18th century in France; and in some respects the country made a real advance. In arts she has never been really great, and her age of poetry was not yet come."

The Treaty ended the state of war between Germany and the Allied Powers. It was signed on 28 June 1919 in Versailles, exactly five years after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand which directly lead to World War I. The other Central Powers on the German side of World War I signed separate treaties. [ 8] Although the armistice, signed on 11 November 1918, ended the actual fighting, it took six months of Allied negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference to conclude the peace treaty. The treaty was registered by the Secretariat of the League of Nations on 21 October 1919. Of the many provisions in the treaty, one of the most important and controversial required \"\"Germany [to] accept the responsibility of Germany and her allies for causing all the loss and damage\"\" during the war (the other members of the Central Powers signed treaties containing similar articles). This article, Article 231, later became known as the War Guilt clause. The treaty forced Germany to disarm, make substantial territorial concessions, and pay reparations to certain countries that had formed the Entente powers. In 1921 the total cost of these reparations was assessed at 132 billion marks (then $31.4 billion or £6.6 billion, roughly equivalent to US $442 billion or UK £284 billion in 2018)."

"text": "Commentary By Brett Schaefer Brett D. Schaefer is the Jay Kingham fellow in International Regulatory Affairs at The Heritage Foundation. Schaefer analyzes a broad range of foreign policy issues, focusing primarily on international organizations and sub-Saharan Africa. Read his research. Supporters of the Paris Agreement have expressed considerable angst over President Donald Trump’s decision to leave the climate agreement last week. Regardless of the merits of that decision—although for the record, Heritage Foundation analysts recommended that the U. S. withdraw—Trump should not have had to make that call. The Paris Agreement had all the hallmarks of a treaty and should have been submitted by President Barack Obama to the Senate for advice and consent, as required under Article II of the U. S. Constitution. Instead, Obama signed the Paris Agreement as an executive agreement. He was able to do so because of ambiguity over how international agreements are implemented in the United States. There are different types of international agreements: treaties, executive agreements, and congressional-executive agreements. Precisely which agreements constitute treaties requiring Senate advice and consent in accordance with Article II of the Constitution, and which do not, is not always clear."

Open Document The Treaty of Versailles Despite Woodrow Wilson's plan for peace near the end of World War I, he failed to gain Congressional support for the Treaty of Versailles. The Treaty of Versailles was intended to be a peace agreement between the Allies and the Germans. However, once the negotiation of the Treaty, the Allies found they had conflicting ideas and motives surrounding the reparations and wording of the Treaty. The Treaty formally placed the responsibility for the war on Germany and its allies and imposed on Germany the burden of paying the debts of war. In addition to foreign opposition, Wilson couldn't even gain support for the treaty in the United States. Because of weaknesses in the treaty, domestic opposition, and failure to compromise, the treaty gained very little congressional support. The Treaty of Versailles was very controversial. Some countries opposed the treaty due to multiple weaknesses. For example, the Treaty humiliated Germany. The war-guilt clause forces Germany to accept sole responsibility for World War I. And although German militarism had played a major role in igniting the war, other countries in Europe had been guilty of provoking diplomatic crises before the war."

Involving diplomats from 32 countries and nationalities, the major or main decisions were the creation of the League of Nations, as well as the five peace treaties with the defeated states; the awarding of German and Ottoman overseas possessions as \"\" mandates \"\", chiefly to Britain and France; reparations imposed on Germany; and the drawing of new national boundaries (sometimes with plebiscites) to better reflect ethnic boundaries. The main result was the Treaty of Versailles with Germany, which in section 231 laid the guilt for the war on \"\"the aggression of Germany and her allies\"\". This provision proved humiliating for Germany and set the stage for the expensive reparations Germany was intended to pay (it paid only a small portion before reparations ended in 1931). The five major powers ( France, Britain, Italy, Japan and the United States of America) controlled the Conference. And the \"\"Big Four\"\" were the Prime Minister of France, Georges Clemenceau; the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, David Lloyd George; the President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson; and the Prime Minister of Italy, Vittorio Emanuele Orlando. They met together informally 145 times and made all the major decisions, which in turn were ratified by the others. [ 1] The conference began on January 18, 1919 and with respect to its end date Professor Michael Neiberg has noted: Although the senior statesmen stopped working personally on the conference in June 1919, the formal peace process did not really end until July 1923, when the Treaty of Lausanne was signed\"\".

"text": "Treaty of Paris, 1763The Treaty of Paris of 1763 ended the French and Indian War/Seven Years' War between Great Britain and France, as well as their respective allies. In the terms of the treaty, France gave up all its territories in mainland North America, effectively ending any foreign military threat to the British colonies there. During the war, British forces had scored important overseas victories against France: not only had the British conquered French Canada, they also won victories in India, and captured French island colonies in the Caribbean. In March of 1762, French King Louis XV issued a formal call for peace talks. The British Government was also interested in ending the war�the Seven Years' War had been enormously expensive, and the Government had had to finance the war with debt. Creditors were beginning to doubt Great Britain's ability to pay back the loans it had floated on financial markets. In addition, British King George II had died in 1760, and his successor George III was more amenable to ending the war. Initial attempts at negotiating a peace settlement failed, and instead French and Spanish diplomats signed the Family Compact, a treaty that brought Spain into the war against Britain. British Prime Minister Lord Bute continued secret and informal talks with French diplomat Etienne-Fran�ois de Stainville, duc de Choiseul, and they came to an unofficial agreement in June, 1762. Bute promised fairly generous terms, and the two countries agreed to an exchange of ambassadors in September."

Edit Answer by Ashley2k9x Confidence votes 80France and Britain threatened to continue the war if they didn't accept, and the German generals told the government that Germany was in no position to fight effectively. This was because they were running out of raw materials, food, men and amunition so there was a great chanceof losing the war. Not accepting the Treaty of Versailles would have resulted in the war being re-opened. Some German politicians were in favour of this, for example, the Chancellor, Scheidemann, and the Army Minister, Noske, who resigned rather than accept the treaty. However, the senior German generals said the the army was in no position to resume fighting. The military and many politicians also feared that a resumption of the war would lead to a massive (and possibly successful) Communist uprising in Germany.15 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

The national boundaries within Europe set by the Congress of Vienna The Congress of Vienna ( German: Wiener Kongress) was a meeting of ambassadors of European states chaired by Austrian statesman Klemens von Metternich, and held in Vienna from November 1814 to June 1815, though the delegates had arrived and were already negotiating by late September 1814. The objective of the Congress was to provide a long-term peace plan for Europe by settling critical issues arising from the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars. The goal was not simply to restore old boundaries but to resize the main powers so they could balance each other and remain at peace. The leaders were conservatives with little use for republicanism or revolution, both of which threatened to upset the status quo in Europe. France lost all its recent conquests while Prussia, Austria and Russia made major territorial gains. Prussia added smaller German states in the west, Swedish Pomerania and 60% of the Kingdom of Saxony; Austria gained Venice and much of northern Italy. Russia gained parts of Poland."

There were great expectations of peace. France, Great Britain, Italy, and the United States were present at the conference. Not only did these countries want peace from the war; they were also looking for eternal peace. This optimism and idealism was greatly strengthened by President Wilson’s peace proposal, the Fourteen Points. It was published in January of nineteen eighteen and the points stressed national self-determination and the rights of small countries. ( 1) The Treaty of Versailles was a failed attempt by the Big Four for peace. The United States, Great Britain, and France were the real powers at the conference. Germany wasn’t allowed to participate, Russia was in the middle of a civil war and Italy was considered part of the Big Four but their involvement was limited.

The article did not use the word \"\"guilt\"\" but it served as a legal basis to compel Germany to pay reparations for the war. Article 231 was one of the most controversial points of the treaty. It specified:\"\"The Allied and Associated Governments affirm and Germany accepts the responsibility of Germany and her allies for causing all the loss and damage to which the Allied and Associated Governments and their nationals have been subjected as a consequence of the war imposed upon them by the aggression of Germany and her allies. \"\" Germans viewed this clause as a national humiliation, forcing Germany to accept full responsibility for causing the war. German politicians were vocal in their opposition to the article in an attempt to generate international sympathy, while German historians worked to undermine the article with the objective of subverting the entire treaty. The Allied leaders were surprised at the German reaction; they saw the article only as a necessary legal basis to extract compensation from Germany. The article, with the signatory's name changed, was also included in the treaties signed by Germany's allies who did not view the clause with the same disdain as the Germans did. American diplomat John Foster Dulles —one of the two authors of the article—later regretted the wording used, believing it further aggravated the German people. The historical consensus is that responsibility or guilt for the war was not attached to the article."

Ms. Wallace, a former communications director under George W.

Unlike Donald, who manages to share his opinion whether or not it's wanted, Melania tends to stay away from the press. She was dragged into the news in March 2016, unfortunately, after an anti-Trump super PAC insinuated that Donald is unfit to be president because his wife has posed nude for magazines. Here's what you need to know about America's first lady.1. She's a pretty historic first lady. Regardless of what you think about a Trump presidency, it's hard not to concede that Melania makes for a very elegant and rather unique first lady. She's the first foreign-born first lady since John Quincy Adams's wife, Louisa Adams; the only first lady to be born and raised in a communist country, most likely; as the Washington Post put it, the most \"\"linguistically gifted\"\" first lady (she is fluent in four languages); and the first to have posed nude for a magazine. But in some ways, Melania is also very traditional first lady. In 1999, when Donald (her then-boyfriend) was considering a presidential bid, Melania described how she envisioned the role: ''I would be very traditional. Like Betty Ford or Jackie Kennedy."

"text": "In her tear-filled final goodbye, Catt Sadler spoke about what had been the peak of her two-decade career: a two-hour, live entertainment news show in the middle of the day called “Daily Pop. ”“This experience for me at this table has been an absolute dream come true,” she said. “ It’s live. It’s daytime. It’s so real. It’s so raw. ”But her farewell left one pivotal question dangling: Why was she leaving her dream job so soon after reaching the top? The answer came a short time later in a post on Sadler’s personal blog that thrust the broadcaster into the ongoing debate about gender pay inequality in America. As she spent months shuttling from the daytime “Daily Pop” to “E! News” at night, an executive at the company informed her that her co-host — a man she had lovingly referred to as “my TV husband” — was making nearly double what she made, even though they started at the network in the same year and were doing basically the same job."

The death of the family dog came to the dismay of many fans in November, despite his departure ultimately only lasting a couple of weeks thanks to the bendable rules of a cartoon universe. There were petitions for his reincarnation, ‘RIP Brian Griffin’ tattoos and furious tweets by the ton, much to the astonishment of Mac Farlane. “It surprised all of us,” he told reporters during a press panel for Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, where most of the questioning centred on a dead cartoon dog rather than his new space documentary. “We were all very surprised, in a good way, that people still cared enough about that character to be that angry. We thought it would create a little bit of a stir, but the rage wasn’t something we counted on. ”Mac Farlane added that Brian’s death under the wheels of a passing car had the desired effect, adding: “It did what it was designed to do — it reminded people this is still a show where anything that can happen despite the fact it’s been on for a while. ”Brian was briefly replaced by a new dog Vinnie, voiced by the Sopranos’ Tony Sirico, in December, but is now a regular again after his infant sidekick Stewie went back in time to prevent his death. Fans need not worry about him being bumped off again however, with Mac Farlane insisting: ‘Would I do it again? No."

Below is a round-up of some of Trump’s most direct insults. Trump Insults Gold Star Families, Veterans The family of an American Muslim soldier who was killed in combat called out Trump for his racist behavior and rhetoric at the Democratic National Convention. Khizr Khan, whose son sacrificed his life to save the lives of his soldiers, told Trump, “You have sacrificed nothing and no one. ”Trump responded that he has, in fact, made sacrifices: “I’ve worked very, very hard. I’ve created thousands and thousands of jobs … I’ve had tremendous success. I think I’ve done a lot. ”He also insulted Khan’s wife, who did not speak during her husband’s speech, asking if she was perhaps not allowed to talk — stereotyping the Muslim community. “If you look at his wife, she was standing there, she had nothing to say, she probably — maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say, you tell me,” Trump told Stephanopoulos."

Fast forward seven years later and the show is basically the same as it was during that magical run of 2008: Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are still your primary co-hosts, with Willie Geist as capable third wheel. The other players rotate but are all still the same familiar faces: Mike Barnicle, Mark Halperin, John Heilemann, Donny Deutsch, Mike Allen ( Politico ), Eugene Robinson, Nicolle Wallace, etc., all brought in to periodically add to the debate. And that’s somewhat a foreign word at MSNBC lately: Debate.

Photograph: Allstar H erodotus is the most entertaining of historians. Indeed, he is as entertaining as anyone who has ever written, historian or not. His great work is many things – the first example of non-fiction, the text that underlies the entire discipline of history, the most important source of information we have for a vital episode in human affairs – but it is above all a treasure trove. This, coming from a translator of The Histories, may sound like special pleading – but it is not. To spend as much time with Herodotus as I have done over these past years has been a rare privilege, a labour of love. The Father of History he may be, but he is also much more than that. The ostensible goal of The Histories is to explain what would now be termed \"\"the clash of civilisations\"\": the inability of the peoples of east and west to live together in peace. Herodotus was writing within living memory of an event so epic that it continues to thrill and astonish to this day: the repulse in 480BC of a full-scale invasion of Greece, led by the King of Persia, Xerxes."

"text": "Trump’s leaked ‘religious freedom’ order would permit virtually all anti-LGBT discrimination So much for Trump’s promises of support. Zack Ford Feb 2, 2017, 2:21 am SHAREHuman Rights Campaign President Chad Griffin led a rally Tuesday of LGBT groups and allies who had no faith that Trump was on their side. CREDIT: Paul Morigi/AP Images President Trump’s promise not to rescind President Obama’s 2014 executive order protecting the LGBT employees of federal contractors may very well have meant nothing. Rumors of an anti-LGBT “religious freedom” order being developed this week proved to be quite accurate, and though it doesn’t technically rescind the protections, it would create such a broad license to discriminate that it virtually overrides them. And LGBT people aren’t the only target. Trump hasn’t signed the order yet, but on Wednesday evening, The Nation published a leaked draft of it. Modeled after the First Amendment Defense Act, which Trump promised to sign, the executive order is couched in language about not “coercing” religious organizations into “violating their conscience” by promising they will not “suffer adverse treatment” if they do. But from there it goes to extreme lengths to enable, encourage, and enshrine discrimination. If that language seems a bit vague, the order offers plenty of specific examples to make it clear what kinds of discrimination it wants to allow religious organizations to commit: It protects child-welfare services and adoption agencies that want to discriminate for any religious reason (i.e. against same-sex couples, unmarried couples, etc.) by ensuring they can’t lose funding."

( CNN) Donald Trump drew much fanfare when he skipped a Republican debate in January to host a rally that he has said raised millions of dollars for veterans, but one question has lingered since the event: Where's the money? The Trump campaign said the event raised $6 million for different veterans groups, with Trump himself contributing $1 million, but details released by the campaign Thursday show only about half of that money has been dispersed so far. The campaign did not provide specifics earlier this week, but after a CNN report aired Thursday morning questioning the contributions, a spokeswoman shared a list in the afternoon showing 27 veterans organizations that have received a total of $2.9 million to date. RELATED: Campaign manager: Trump has donated more than $100M to charity Trump campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks told CNN the contributions will continue as money comes in and she critiqued what she describes as misplaced scrutiny on the fundraiser. \"\" If the media spent half as much time highlighting the work of these groups and how our veterans have been so mistreated, rather than trying to disparage Mr. Trump's generosity for a totally unsolicited gesture for which he had no obligation, we would all be better for it,\"\" Hicks said Thursday."

In the past month, I have received three shiny new cell phones, courtesy of American taxpayers, that should never have fallen into my hands. The Federal Communications Commission oversees the so-called Lifeline program, created in 1984 to make sure impoverished Americans had telephone service available to call their moms, bosses, and 911. In 2008, the FCC expanded the program to offer subsidized cell-phone service, and since then, the expenses of running the program have soared. In 2012, the program’s costs had risen to $2.189 billion, up from $822 million before wireless carriers were included. As of June, there were 13.8 million active Lifeline subscriptions. To be eligible for Lifeline, the applicant is supposed to be receiving some significant government benefit — food stamps, Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income, public housing assistance, etc. But because welfare eligibility has expanded under the Obama administration, more people than ever before are qualified to receive “free” cell-phone service — part of the reason why Lifeline mobiles have become commonly known as Obamaphones."

"text": "\"The social-media parodist has been building a loyal following since Donald Trump announced his candidacy. It's hard to parody a man like Donald Trump, but \"\"President Trump\"\" — a fake Twitter account that has amassed thousands of followers in recent weeks — seems to have cracked the formula. Since the mouthy mogul announced his candidacy last June, the account has been churning out a stream of politically-incorrect zingers aimed at everyone and everything in the real Trump's warpath. Some of the nastier tweets sound so authentically Trumpian (\"\"For the record I don't have any beef with Rosie O'Donnell. She ate it all! \"\"), they've been mistakenly attributed to the candidate himself. So who's behind the high jinks? The Hollywood Reporter tracked him down. Who are you really? My name is William Mc Ardle and I'm actually a 32-year-old screenwriter here in California."

S. 2016 Presidential Campaign Republican Party Republican Presidential Debate 2016 Presidential Debates Donald Trump Jeb Bush Scott Walker Mike Huckabee Ben Carson Ted Cruz Marco Rubio With 10 candidates, including the country's most bombastic real estate mogul , vying for attention, Thursday night's main Republican presidential debate offered plenty of memorable soundbites. Participants—who followed a 5 p.m. debate among seven second-tier candidates —include real estate mogul and television personality Donald Trump, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Kentucky Sen. Marco Rubio, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Ohio Gov. John Kasich . Other than the added name recognition of the primary candidate group—the Top 10 were chosen by their performance in a series of recent polls—the biggest difference between the two debates is venue. Both were held in Cleveland's Quicken Loans Arena, but the second-tier debate took place without an audience, which can make all the difference in determing who wins and loses the night. The candidates in the main debate received one minute each for answers, and 30 seconds for follow-ups.10:56 p.m. Closing statements. Paul says he is \"\"a different kind of Republican.\"\" Rubio says he will \"\"make of this century a new American century.\"\" Cruz says his first day in office will be dominated by rescinding \"\"every illegal unconstitutional action taken by Barack Obama\"\" and prosecuting Planned Parenthood. Carson says he's \"\"the only one [onstage] to separate Siamese twins\"\" before adding that he's \"\"fighting for the next generation.\"\" Huckabee says \"\"America is in trouble, but it's not beyond repair.\"\""

"text": "\"'Match Game' and '$100,000 Pyramid': TV Reviews1:46 PM PDT 6/27/2016 by Daniel Fienberg FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME COMMENTSCourtesy of ABC'Match Game'No whammies so far for these nostalgic games. TWITTER 6/26/2016ABC's game show reboots, hosted by Alec Baldwin and Michael Strahan, are off to an old-fashioned, appealing start. Sunday marked finale night for HBO's Game of Thrones, Silicon Valley and Veep (plus a pre-hiatus episode of Last Week Tonight With John Oliver ), concluding one of the best, smartest scripted blocks in recent TV history. But Sunday-night TV needn't only be weighty cable dramas and savvy satires. Sometimes, facing a gloomy Monday, viewers just want a dose of fun and games. Sensing this, ABC premiered a trio of game shows Sunday, hoping that retro charm would continue to be a successful summer play after last year's solid Celebrity Family Feud launch. Since the Steve Harvey-hosted Feud is a known quantity, this review will concentrate on $100,000 Pyramid and Match Game, which both drew decent numbers in their buffed-and-shined returns to primetime. The bottom line is that both shows proved to be amiable, reliable and mostly non-confrontational, unless you took issue at a pair of matching Donald Trump jokes. Those felt less scathingly political and more a nod to Rosie O'Donnell's celebrity presence on both shows. Chances are good that if you're a Trump supporter, you were going to mock Rosie's appearances regardless of whether or not she made a facile Trump joke, so she might as well have just leaned in."

In the most unexpected romance of the summer, Rosie O’Donnell and Tatum O’Neal have reportedly gone from being ‘just friends’ to something much more. Find out all the details here!After a summer of shocking celebrity splits, we’re pleased to see that the season has given us at least one new Hollywood couple to cheer for: Rosie O’Donnell, 53, and Tatum O’Neal, 51! After being friends for years, the two have allegedly taken their relationship to new romantic heights. We’re so happy for them!“They are romantically involved,” an inside source told People magazine. “ It’s a bicoastal relationship.” The news of Rosie and Tatum’s under-the-radar relationship comes just months after Tatum revealed to the publication that she is now “dating women.” While the two have managed to keep a low profile in public, People claims they both attended the Broadway opening of Hamilton back in August and reportedly shared an intimate dinner at Da Silvano in New York City, where a fellow diner told the New York Post ‘s Page Six Rosie looked “happy and relaxed.”"

But it's hard to argue with this list, though you're more than welcome to. Every host is here because they either contributed something unique to the genre or became a legend by finding a place in our hearts and minds. What stands out on this list is the lack of female hosts. Only two made the list - Oprah and Rosie. Oprah for her general queen of all media-ness and Rosie for single handedly reviving the daytime talk show formula made famous by Merv Griffin and Dick Cavett. Hopefully, that trend will change - and this list will change to reflect it.01of 10Johnny Carson Former 'Tonight Show' host Johnny Carson.

His 30 years as host of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson serves as an achievement - both in longevity and artistically - for current and future talk show hosts to aspire. Carson reinvented the monologue, scored with clever skits and memorable characters, and became loved by Americans young and old."

Donald Trump may soon do what Republican leaders have been asking the billionaire candidate to do -- pledge not to run as an independent candidate for president, a senior Trump adviser told ABC News. Trump refused to take that pledge at the start of Thursday's GOP debate but is now seriously considering promising not to run as an independent if he does not win the Republican nomination, the adviser said. Donald Trump Offers No Apology Over 'Blood' Comments Donald Trump Booed at Republican Presidential Debate, Takes Shot at Rosie O'Donnell Trump has repeatedly said he wants to run as a Republican and expects to win the GOP nomination, but he has also insisted that if he is not treated well by party leaders and does not get the nomination he may run as an independent. Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus has directly called on all candidates to pledge not to make a third-party run. The Republican Party has leverage here: senior GOP officials say it is possible that future debates could be limited to candidates who have pledged support for the party -- a move that could leave Trump out of debates if he is still leaving open the possibility of running as an independent. The RNC has already made it clear that it will withhold valuable party data on Republican voters from any candidate unwilling to pledge support to the party.

"text": "\"The Ridiculous Stories Behind Donald Trump’s Movie and TV Cameos By Zach Schonfeld On 10/21/16 at 9:00 AMShare Culture Donald Trump 2016 election Movies Home Alone Before he hosted The Apprentice —and long before his short fingers came within reach of the White House—Donald Trump enjoyed a terrible and haphazard acting career. Like Ronald Reagan, Trump’s path to serious presidential candidate is littered with campy film and TV appearances. Unlike Reagan, Trump cannot actually act. And yet between 1987—when he boosted his celebrity profile with the publication of The Art of the Deal —and 2004, Trump appeared in dozens of TV shows and more than 10 feature films. Home Alone 2 and Zoolander are well remembered, but most of these movies are the kind that get lost in the dollar bin of a Blockbuster torched by its owners for the insurance money cash-in. Speaking of cash-ins, the real estate mogul used these appearances to promote his brand: Trump nearly always played himself, with surrounding characters often stating his name in awe (“That’s Donald Trump!”) and remarking on his wealth. He reveled in the attention. Though Trump was a world-famous billionaire, he made himself quite available whenever an opportunity to appear on camera presented itself—even in B-movies like the ghost-sex disaster Ghosts Can’t Do It. “ He wasn’t a hard get,” says one veteran producer. “"

Though the trio no longer co-host The View, Hasselbeck phoned in to Fox & Friends during her \"\"staycation\"\" Wednesday to slam O'Donnell for reportedly being in negotiations to return for Season 18. \"\" I think this has been in the works for a long time,\"\" said the conservative TV personality, who referenced her infamous split-screen fight with O'Donnell in 2007. Hasselbeck also said she is \"\"very interested\"\" to see how O'Donnell might interact with veteran co-host Whoopi Goldberg —if O'Donnell returns, that is. \"\" I know Rosie very well. We worked quite closely. Talk about not securing the border!\"\" Hasselbeck said. \"\" Here in comes to The View the very woman who spit in the face of our military, spit in the face of her own network, and really in the face of a person who stood by her and had civilized debates for the time that she was there, coming back with a bunch of control ready to regain a seat at the View table. \"\" Speaking to CNN's Don Lemon that night, Behar criticized Hasselbeck's harsh commentary. \"\""

In the video, Trump and then-Access Hollywood host Billy Bush can be heard chatting about Days of Our Lives actress Arianne Zucker, moments before she greeted them to the set of her popular NBC soap opera, where Trump was making a cameo.

Following Trump's guest appearance on Days of Our Lives, Zucker -- who portrayed the role of Nicole Walker since the late '90s -- couldn't stop gushing about him during an interview with Soap Talk hosts Lisa Rinna and Ty Treadway. \"\" He is so cute and charming,\"\" Zucker exclaimed, adding, \"\"you just don't look above [his hairline]. \"\"The episode was later spoofed on Saturday Night Live.

The opinions expressed in these commentaries are solely their own. David Gergen: Trump, a gift to the GOPDonald Trump may ultimately wind up damaging Republican chances next November but yesterday he gave the GOP presidential candidates a huge gift: his presence generated the biggest, most attentive opening day audience in American politics. Each of the 17 candidates had a chance to audition before a massive number of voters, not to mention donors and journalists. ( The debate had a record 24 million viewers, according to Nielsen. ) David Gergen As a group, the candidates generally rose to the occasion. Yes, there was still too much ideological rigidity, too many canned answers and too little attention to ways that technology and globalization are reshaping the United States. But with nine sitting or former governors and five sitting or former Senators among the candidates, the GOP could showcase plenty of talent. For my money, there were two candidates who helped themselves the most."

I'll tell you why. His passion. Passion that overwhelms all surrounding him. His voice starts roaring and he forgets that he is Al Pacino. He suddenly becomes his character, he stops seeing around him and he is now a prisoner in his role. The movie is about Pacino. His acting is grand, superb, majestic, heart-wrenching, deep, emotional, so forth. His portrayal of a blind man dangling in the rope of his life, is not only credible but immensely touching. We see directly, through his crystalline performance all of the pain that griefs on his character."

General Leonard Dudley Heaton. President Eisenhower shows some pretty good form for a golfer with a bad left knee in a 1960 match at Augusta with Arnold Palmer, Cliff Roberts and Lt. General Leonard Dudley Heaton. He was Dwight David Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe, which hammered the life out of Nazi Germany during World War II. He was the 34th President of the United States, and for the eight years of his Presidency he was the undisputed leader of what was known as the Free World. If you want to get a measure of the man, combine President Ronald Reagan with General H. Norman Schwarzkopf and multiply by 10 and you won't be far off the mark. His campaign slogan was \"\"I like Ike,\"\" and for once there was no political hyperbole involved. Not everybody voted for Eisenhower, but he was probably the most genuinely liked President we ever had. At Augusta National Golf Club, where he was a member for almost 20 years, Eisenhower is remembered mostly as a good man to play golf with."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Cows on Selsley Common. The \"\"tragedy of the commons\"\" is one way of accounting for overexploitation. The tragedy of the commons is a term used in social science to describe a situation in a shared-resource system where individual users acting independently according to their own self-interest behave contrary to the common good of all users by depleting or spoiling that resource through their collective action. The concept and phrase originated in an essay written in 1833 by the British economist William Forster Lloyd, who used a hypothetical example of the effects of unregulated grazing on common land (also known as a \"\"common\"\") in the British Isles. [ 1] The concept became widely known over a century later due to an article written by the American ecologist and philosopher Garrett Hardin in 1968. [ 2] In this modern economic context, commons is taken to mean any shared and unregulated resource such as atmosphere, oceans, rivers, fish stocks, or even an office refrigerator. It has been argued that the very term 'tragedy of the Commons' is a misnomer, since 'the commons' referred to land resources with rights jointly owned by members of a community, and no individual outside the community had any access to the resource. However, the term is now used in social science and economics when describing a problem where all individuals have equal and open access to a resource. Hence, 'tragedy of open access regimes' or simply 'the open access problem' are more apt terms. [ 3] 'The 'tragedy of the commons' is often cited in connection with sustainable development, meshing economic growth and environmental protection, as well as in the debate over global warming."

In a typical New Orleans band, the clarinet improvised a high sounding melody while the trombone improvised a low melody. In the middle, the clarinet and trombone, the cornet or trumpet played the primary melody of the song as well as improvising a third, midrange counter-melody to the other horns. The three simultaneous melodies are formally referred to as counterpoint. Counterpoint or contrapuntal music has been used by nearly every major classical music composer since the time of Bach, who was himself noted for writing what he called two-, three-, and four-part counterpoint inventions. Early New Orleans jazz can be compared to Bach's three-part inventions--except that Bach had an eraser at the end of his pencil, while the jazz musicians were creating three-part counterpoint in real time with no opportunity to erase a mistake! The early New Orleans musicians modeled their contrapuntal approach after the sound of a typical nineteenth-century military band a tradition that continues today with modern bands such as University Of Washington Husky Marching Band."

Although not nationally famous at the time, William Barret Travis achieved lasting distinction as commander at the Alamo.

My daughter is obsessed with tying up everything. If she ever finds a string, cord, shoe lace, etc. she will tie up her toys or her feet as a game. She is 3 1/2 years old and has done this since she was about 2. I don't know how to stop it. She doesn't hurt anything when she does it, she just has been destroying her shoes, headbands, shirts with ties, etc. I'm not a believer in just never having those things in reach, i've always just tried to divert the behaviors. She sometimes takes it too far and will tie something around her cat's neck as a leash. She has gotten in trouble for that, but how can I curb this or will she grow out of it?"

"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."

The film was directed by Richard Donner from a screenplay by William Goldman and features Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster, and James Garner. Bret Maverick is a wisecracking gambler who wants to win a poker championship - only partly for the money, but mainly to prove once and for all that he's the best at poker. However, complications keep arising. First, he starts off $3,000 short of the $25,000 entry fee for the contest. His efforts to make up the difference spark off much of the plot, as well as diversions caused by, and in the company of, three people he encounters at Crystal River: an antagonist named Angel (Alfred Molina), a young con-artist calling herself Mrs Annabelle Bransford (Jodie Foster), and legendary lawman Marshal Zane Cooper (James Garner, who played Bret Maverick in the original TV series). The first two are also rival poker players. The three share a stagecoach (whose driver dies at full gallop), agree to help a wagon train of migrant evangelist settlers who have been waylaid by ruffians (for a fee which Maverick in the end is too big-hearted to accept), and are headed-off by a troop of Indians (who, unbeknownst to his companions, are good friends with Maverick), who agree to help Maverick collect the rest of the fee (by swindling a Russian Grand Duke). After this, though, Maverick's adventures get a little crazy, especially since somebody has good reason to make sure Maverick never makes it to the poker game... The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Costume Design. This movie contains examples of: Accidental Misnaming: Bert ?"

"text": "\"Economics The Tragedy of the Commons: How Elinor Ostrom Solved One of Life’s Greatest Dilemmas The design principles for solving the tragedy of the commons can be applied to all groups By David Sloan Wilson As an evolutionary biologist who received my Ph D in 1975, I grew up with Garrett Hardin’s essay “The Tragedy of the Commons,” published in Science magazine in 1968. His parable of villagers adding too many cows to their common pasture captured the essence of the problem that my thesis research was designed to solve. The farmer who added an extra cow gained an advantage over other farmers in his village but it also led to an overgrazed pasture. The biological world is full of similar examples in which individuals who behave for the good of their groups lose out in the struggle for existence with more self-serving individuals, resulting in overexploited resources and other tragedies of non-cooperation. Is the so-called tragedy of the commons ever averted in the biological world and might this possibility provide solutions for our own species? One plausible scenario is natural selection at the level of groups. A selfish farmer might have an advantage over other farmers in his village, but a village that somehow solved the tragedy of the commons would have a decisive advantage over other villages. Most species are subdivided into local populations at various scales, just as humans are subdivided into villages, cities and nations. If natural selection between groups (favoring cooperation) can successfully oppose natural selection within groups (favoring non-cooperation), then the tragedy of the commons can be averted for humans and non-human species alike. Get Evonomics in your inbox At the time that Hardin published his article and I was working on my thesis, this possibility had been considered and largely rejected."

Morriss Download:0703morriss Property rights play a critical role in a wide range of economic institutions. From understanding why owners are generally better stewards of property than renters to finding ways to resolve environmental problems, property rights are at the center of the analysis. It is unsurprising, therefore, that economics offers important insights into property rights. The economic approach is not the only way to think about property, and economic analysis is often misused, but it is an important part of understanding why property rights are so important to liberty and human progress. In particular, economics can help us understand two fundamental aspects of property rights: how they change and the types of problems they solve. A simple example illustrates the evolution of property rights in land. The basic form of property in land in the United States is called the fee simple absolute. The owner of a fee simple absolute has the maximum extent of rights possible in the land under the law; most privately held American land is in this form. An owner of a fee simple absolute in a plot of land in 1800 and an owner of a fee simple absolute in the same plot in 1900 had different sets of rights because of changes in the law. Between 1800 and 1900 the federal government abandoned a claim it had in mineral rights in private land."

"text": "\"Roger Clemens This article was written by Frederick C. Bush Roger Clemens’ last major-league start, on October 7, 2007 — for the New York Yankees against the Cleveland Indians, the very team against which he had made his major-league debut in May 1984 — ended with him limping off the mound after only 2⅓ innings with a hamstring injury. Clemens had already allowed the Indians one run in each of the first and second innings, and, after facing two batters in the top of the third, he could pitch no more. He was charged with a third run, though the Yankees came back to win the game 8-4 for their lone victory in this American League Division Series. Such an ending is not what a movie screenwriter would have scripted as the final chapter of “Rocket’s” 24-year career, but at least one element of Clemens’ last appearance was storybook in character: He struck out the final batter he faced, Indians catcher Victor Martinez. In spite of the abrupt end to Clemens’ evening and career, as he left the mound, it seemed a certainty that he would be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, as soon as he passed the five-year waiting period for eligibility. Few pitchers in the history of baseball could boast anything near to his accomplishments: a record seven Cy Young Awards, 354 victories, 4,672 strikeouts, seven-time ERA leader with a career 3.12 ERA, six-time 20-game winner, five-time strikeout leader, 46 shutouts in the era of relief specialists and closers, and two-time World Series champion. He was too much of a polarizing figure in his career to exceed Tom Seaver ’s record of being named on 98.8 percent of the Hall of Fame ballots, but he seemed certain to be a first-ballot selectee. On December 13, 2007, little more than two months after Clemens’ final Yankees start, doubt was cast over his future enshrinement among baseball’s immortals when he was mentioned repeatedly in the Mitchell Report on the use of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball. In the years following the report, Clemens spent almost as much time in courtrooms as he spent on pitcher’s mounds during his career. By the time his first year of eligibility for the Hall of Fame arrived in January 2013, he was named on only 37.6 percent of the ballots and, in his second year, that number declined to 35.4 percent while two of his contemporaries and fellow members of the 300-win club, Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine, were elected."

They assume, for example, that the United States went to war against Germany and Japan only after its declarations of war against these nations in December 1941. In truth, the United States had been at war for a long time before making these declarations. Its war making took a variety of forms. For example, the U. S. navy conducted \"\"shoot [Germans] on sight\"\" convoys — convoys that might include British ships — in the North Atlantic along the greater part the shipping route from the United States to Great Britain, even though German U-boats had orders to refrain (and did refrain) from initiating attacks on U. S. shipping. The United States and Great Britain entered into arrangements to pool intelligence, combine weapons development, test military equipment jointly, and undertake other forms of war-related cooperation. The U. S. military actively cooperated with the British military in combat operations against the Germans, for example, by alerting the British navy of aerial or marine sightings of German submarines, which the British then attacked. The U. S. government undertook in countless ways to provide military and other supplies and assistance to the British, the French, and the Soviets, who were fighting the Germans."

Both small nations had been at war with Spain for several years for their independence, and most plantations had been destroyed, so the US was losing millions every day. Also, the US needed coaling stations for their ships, since the plan was to construct a canal in Panama that would make inter-oceanic trade possible. The explosion of the Maine in Havana Harbor was just an excuse to declare war on Spain.

Economy Seven Things You Should Know About Outsourcing Share Flip Pin Email By Kimberly Amadeo Updated March 19, 2018Job outsourcing is when U. S. companies hire foreign workers instead of Americans. In 2013, U. S. overseas affiliates employed 14 million workers. The four industries most affected are technology, call centers, human resources, and manufacturing. How It Affects the Economy Job outsourcing helps U. S. companies be more competitive in the global marketplace. It allows them to sell to foreign markets with overseas branches. They keep labor costs low by hiring in emerging markets with lower standards of living. That lowers prices on the goods they ship back to the United States. The main negative effect of outsourcing is it increases U. S. unemployment. The 14 million outsourced jobs are almost double the 7.5 million unemployed Americans. If all those jobs returned, it would be enough to also hire the 5.7 million who are working part-time but would prefer full-time positions."

The Spanish-American War affected the United States in a number of other ways. It helped speed the construction of the Panama Canal and also resulted in the U. S.'s acquisition of foreign territories. There were also many other minor positive outcomes to the war as opposed to the few negative consequences that resulted. The Spanish-American War was the brief conflict that the United States waged against Spain in 1898. The war had grown out of the Cuban struggle for independence, and whose other causes included American imperialism and the sinking of the U. S warship Maine. The actual hostilities in the war lasted four months, from April 25 to August 12, 1898. Most of the fighting occurred in or near the Spanish colonial possessions of Cuba and the Philippines, nearly halfway around the world form each other."

In fact, the idea of asking friends, family, and church members to fund a person's living expenses or even temporary expenses while on a short-term mission trip is enough of an obstacle to keep countless young people from answering a call to the nations. But it's really a question of trust. Do you trust God to provide the support for your trip? Is money holding you back from stepping out in faith? Is the idea of support raising hindering you from going on a mission trip or stepping into full-time missions work? You may be getting worried for no reason. World Racer Ian Schumann shares this testimony of God's provision: I entered the World Race squad way late, I hardly have a home church, and my extended family is Jewish, so they didn't want to help me out.

It was the election of the first Republican president, Lincoln, which triggered the secession crisis and brought on the Civil War. The US government was careful during the next four years to pretend that there was, in fact, no \"\"war\"\", as a state of declared war would have had international implications which the Lincoln administration wished to avoid. Despite this the US government declared a \"\"blockade\"\" of southern ports, which was something which under international law could only be done when a state of war existed. The US government carefully sought to preserve the fiction that the unpleasantness was a \"\"rebellion\"\" or an \"\"insurrection\"\", which meant they did not acknowledge that the southern states had, in fact, left the Union. Despite this, when the war was over the Republican government made the southern states apply for \"\"readmission\"\". The Republican Mc Kinley sought a declaration of war against Spain in 1898, which congress granted.

"text": "\"Since 1966, mass shootings have occurred in the United States at a rate five times higher than in the Philippines, the country that ranked second in mass shootings, says a new study, which explores why the U. S. so outstrips other countries in such crimes. ( David J. Phillip / Associated Press)The United States is, by a long shot, the global leader in mass shootings, claiming just 5% of the global population but an outsized share -- 31% -- of the world's mass shooters since 1966, a new study finds. The Philippines, Russia, Yemen and France -- all countries that can claim a substantial share of the 291 documented mass shootings between 1966 and 2012 -- collectively didn't even come close to the United States. And what makes the United States such a fertile incubator for mass shooters? A comprehensive analysis of the perpetrators, their motives and the national contexts for their actions suggests that several factors have conspired to create in the United States a potent medium for fostering large-scale murder. Those factors include a chronic and widespread gap between Americans' expectations for themselves and their actual achievement, Americans' adulation of fame, and the extent of gun ownership in the United States. Set those features against a circumstance the United States shares with many other countries -- a backdrop of poorly managed mental illness -- and you have a uniquely volatile brew, the new study says. With those conclusions, University of Alabama criminologist Adam Lankford set out to illuminate the darker side of American \"\"exceptionalism\"\" -- the notion that the United States' size, diversity, political and economic institutions and traditions set us apart in the world. Lankford's paper is among those being presented this week at the American Sociological Assn. 's annual meeting, in Chicago."

It took them several different campaigns to complete the occupation of the area the Japanese military wanted to claim, but that was due to Japan's other military priorities. Japan also controlled stretches of interior China along the major rivers. The Chinese Nationalist Army wasn't much inclined to fight the Japanese (despite the best prodding the US could do), but to preserve itself for the civil war with the Communists that all knew was coming. After Japan captured Peking and Nan-king, in 1939 the US imposed an embargo of all American commerce with Japan, the key ingredients of which were petroleum products (oil, gas, lubricants, etc) and scrap iron (Japan had some coal, but no iron ore), as well as some foodstuffs and consumer goods. The Embargo forced the issue by threatening the life blood of the Japanese military machine. The remaining question was whether Japan would attack north, into Siberia, or south, into the US and European colonies.

Ryan Enn Hughes for The New York Times TORONTO — If Kijiji is remembered at all in the United States, it is probably as one of e Bay ’s unsuccessful attempts to challenge Craigslist in online classified ads. But in Canada, Kijiji is now practically synonymous with classifieds. More than 12 million people visit Kijiji’s site in Canada every month, three times the amount drawn to Craigslist in the country. The service is used by 42 percent of Canadians, according to com Score, making it one of country’s 10 most popular sites. It has also eclipsed other companies’ online businesses, including Cox Automotive’s once dominant used-car site, Auto Trader. That success is a striking counterexample to the globalization of the web, in which services like Facebook and Google offer a single product worldwide. It also represents one of the few online brands that fizzled in the United States but found success elsewhere, as the social media pioneer Friendster has in the Philippines and Malaysia. How Kijiji achieved those feats is partly a story of good timing, arriving in Canada before Craigslist really took off in this country."

S and British North America in which they would each have privileges in one anothers country. In this agreement it allowed the U. S fishermen to fish in the Maritimes (ex. New Brunswick), the U. S access to the St. Lawerence with the same rate as British North America and free trade between the two countries with no tardiffs (or taxes) involved. British North America also hoped to open up the trading market in hopes to restore what Britain lost after they withdrew from the Corn Laws.

Although not a presidential requirement, military experience – especially distinguished service – has been key to election day success for a number of candidates. According to the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs, 26 of our 44 presidents were veterans upon entering office. Our presidents have had a wide variety of military experiences. Colonel Teddy Roosevelt led the Rough Riders in Cuba during the Spanish-American War. Lieutenant John F. Kennedy became a hero in the storied PT109 engagement of World War II. Captain Ronald Reagan also served the country in World War II – although he never saw combat. The presidency demands inspiring leadership and decisive action. It’s no surprise that of the 26 presidents who served in the military, twelve were generals. Presidents have been lauded and derided for their actions on the battlefield."

"text": "Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant Featured Book John Y. Simon, Lincoln and Grant (Lincoln Fellowship of Wisconsin, 1984) General Ulysses S. Grant came to the attention of President Lincoln and the nation when in February 1862 Grant captured two Confederate garrisons on the Tennessee River, Fort Henry and Fort Donelson. “ U. S.” Grant got the nickname “Unconditional Surrender” Grant after he demanded unconditional surrender from the Confederate commander of Fort Donelson. When his superior in the West, General Henry W. Halleck, was transferred to Washington that summer, Grant took over command of the Union Army along the Mississippi River and began his career trajectory to command of the entire Union army in 1864. General Grant and President Lincoln were both pragmatists – willing to do whatever was necessary to win the war. “ Better than any Civil War general, Grant recognized the battlefield was in flux. By not specifying movements in detail, he left his subordinate commanders free to exploit whatever opportunities developed,” wrote Grant biographer Jean Edward Smith. 1“Versatility and flexibility marked [Grant’s] reaction to military problems,” wrote historian John Y. Simon. “ Unlike officers well trained in the art of war, he reacted to military situations with logic rather than formula.” 2 Like Mr. Lincoln, Grant was a serious man not given to concern about appearances. Like Mr. Lincoln, he loved animals and refrained from hunting. “"

Despite his popularity, the nation faced social, economic and political difficulties, and his administration was shrouded in corruption. General Grant Becomes President Grant In the 1868 election, President Andrew Johnson - crippled by unpopularity and an impeachment - failed to win his Party's nomination. After dismissing several candidates and taking several votes, the Democrats finally decided on Horatio Seymore. The Republicans chose General Ulysses S. Grant, the Union hero of the Civil War. Despite the fact that three southern states still couldn't vote and that African Americans (who were overwhelmingly Republican) could vote, Seymore put up a good fight against the well-known Grant. The popular vote was close, but Grant won an electoral landslide in 1868. Radical Republicans in Congress were ecstatic."

"text": "Wikimedia Commons The Return of Ulysses By Sean Wilentz January 25, 2010No great American has suffered more cruelly and undeservedly at the hands of historians than Ulysses S. Grant. The dominating influence of pro-Southern historians early in the twentieth century—an influence that tainted scholarship on the Civil War for decades—helps to explain Grant’s abysmal reputation. But it does not explain Grant’s fate in full, nor why the vilification of the man has continued into our own time. Grant is caricatured both as a drunken military brute and the heavy, venal presidential overseer of what Mark Twain, in the satiric novel he wrote with Charles Dudley Warner, called the Gilded Age: A Tale of Today. In fact, Grant’s presidency, far more than his generalship, has been the chief reason why condemnation of him has proved so enduring and so nearly universal. And therein lies a paradox—for Twain, who named the age, was also one of Grant’s closest friends in his later life, the man who arranged for the publication of Grant’s Personal Memoirs, a genuinely great book, and whose admiration for Grant led to the general’s initials appearing in the dedication of Huckleberry Finn. By the lights of the received wisdom, the combination makes no sense. Yet Twain is still remembered as Twain, whereas Grant is remembered as the sort of figure Twain should have ridiculed. Grant may be on the verge of finally receiving his due. But Grant may be on the verge of finally receiving his due."

An appointment to West Point was secured through his father’s efforts, despite Grant’s lack of interest in a military career. He graduated in 1843, in the bottom half of his class, having impressed few because of his unmilitary bearing, but enjoying success with mathematics and horsemanship. His early tastes ran heavily toward novels and art. His first military experience was gained in the Mexican War (1846-1848). He initially served with the Quartermaster Corps where he gained a lasting understanding of supply issues, but later saw action. Grant would later look back on the American military activities in Mexico with contempt. In 1852, Grant was assigned to Fort Vancouver in the Oregon Territory and later to Fort Humboldt in northern California. The climate`s dreariness and separation from his wife and sons apparently led Grant to a dependence on alcohol, an issue that led to his resignation from the service in 1854."

Grant: America’s Second Three-Star Generalfacebook twitter linkedin pinterest print6/12/2006 • Civil War Times Magazine President Abraham Lincoln called his cabinet to the Executive Mansion on March 9, 1864, to witness something that had occurred only once before in the history of the republic. As soon as everyone had arrived, Lincoln presented Ulysses S. Grant with his commission as a lieutenant general. Only George Washington had risen to that rank in the U. S. Army before him. Grant was characteristically humble. ‘ I accept the commission with gratitude for the high honor conferred, he told Lincoln. With the aid of the noble armies…it will be my earnest endeavor not to disappoint your expectations. I feel the full weight of the responsibilities now devolving upon me, and I know that if they are met it will be due to those armies, and above all, to the favor of that Providence which leads both nations and men. Grant’s recognition of the need for divine help showed he appreciated the difficulty of the task before him, because in addition to receiving the second lieutenant generalcy in U. S. history, he would also become the fifth general in chief in the history of the army. And throughout its 43-year existence, this difficult job had stressed and exasperated its occupants like few other jobs could."

On July 27, 1890, Van Gogh shot himself in the chest with a revolver. The bullet passed through his chest without doing major damage to his internal organs. Van Gogh was rushed to the hospital and died the next day of an untreated infection. His death is generally accepted as a suicide. Why Van Gogh shot himself is still unknown. However, it is known that he had an illness that made him feel extremely sad and lonely. Psychiatrists have hypothesized that he had epilepsy, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or an illness caused by lead poisoning, among others.353 Views · View Upvoters Related Questions More Answers Below What did Van Gogh usually eat?

Nowadays his work is sold for millions all over the world. The Dutch artist is also known for his depressions that lead to him cutting off his own ear and probably suicide. Although in recent years there is a theory that the painter might not have taken his own life. There is no doubt that Van Gogh drunk quite a lot during the 37 years he was alive. The booze might have played his part in his unpredictable character and Van Gogh even had hallucinations and delusions, but eating paint and drinking turpentine also didn’t make him too stable. Vincent van Gogh was not exactly living what most people nowadays call a healthy lifestyle. Basically his diet contained huge quantities of coffee, cigarettes and alcohol."

Vincent van Gogh Though his life was short, Vincent van Gogh left the world with almost 2000 creations, almost all of which were unappreciated in his own time (he only sold one painting during his life and was supported by his brother Theo). Despite the fact that he is now considered a master painter with an almost immeasurable impact on art and culture, Van Gogh died penniless in 1890 at the age of 37 by his own hand. He is quoted presciently observing, \"\"I can't change the fact that my paintings don't sell.

Though he was a successful and well-known portrait photographer before the war began (Abraham Lincoln's likeness on the $5 bill is modeled after Brady's portrait of him), he spent around $100,000 during the war on his photographs, which numbered in the thousands. The pictures brought the truth and grotesque horror of the war to the doorsteps of all Americans - a marked change from the propaganda and half-truths coming from print journalists at the time. Unfortunately, after the war no one wanted to be reminded of the horrors of it, and Brady was unable to sell his photographs or recoup his losses."

According to Martin Bailey in his excellent book on the subject, The Sunflowers are Mine, the patch of floor in front of it “gets more scuffed” than that in front of any other work in the National Gallery, and its postcard outsells all others in the bookshop. Mrs Thatcher, displaying more enthusiasm than botanical precision on a visit to the museum, demanded to be shown “Van Gogh’s Chrysanthemums”, (and no curator dared correct her). From today, there will be even more visitors’ feet on that much-used area of flooring, because the National Gallery’s Sunflowers is going to be reunited with another version of the same composition painted by Van Gogh a few months later, in what promises to be a remarkable exercise in artistic compare and contrast. For, although the National Gallery’s picture is, in general estimation, the most important, daring and beautiful of Van Gogh’s Sunflowers it is by no means the only one. The artist, who lived from 1853 to 1890, tackled the theme on numerous occasions. The flower that turns its bloom towards the sun has a long history as a symbol – of the Christian soul, among other things. In Britain, the sunflower motif was so popular with architects and designers of the Aesthetic movement that it was carved in stone and cast in metalwork that can still be seen across the city today. Before he became an artist, Van Gogh would have seen the emblem frequently during his early years in 1870s Britain, where he worked (unsuccessfully) as an art dealer, junior prep school master and lay preacher.

In recent years, two Academy Award-winning films featured his work — “Lust for Life” and “Midnight in Paris” — though the Dutch artist died believing his life’s work was a failure. Legend has it that the artist only sold a single painting in his lifetime, and van Gogh was no star in the art world. He lived a life plagued by self-doubt, crippled by numerous behavioral conditions. When van Gogh completed “The Starry Night,” arguably some of his finest work, the artist didn’t even think it was any good — a sentiment the world’s initial response seemed to confirm. However, in 1941, the painting became part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City; in 1973, a museum in Amsterdam opened with its primary commitment to house works by van Gogh. A recent Vanity Fair article called into question the details surrounding van Gogh’s final years and untimely death. Accordingly, The Huffington Post examined more of the unknown. Here are eight things you didn’t van Knowgh:1. Vincent van Gogh apparently placed lit candles in his hat so he could paint at night."

"text": "\"Art Biography Legacy Prints VGGEspañol Art Biography Legacy Prints VGGEspañol Self-Portraits Vincent van Gogh painted over 30 self-portraits between the years 1886 and 1889. His collection of self-portraits places him among the most prolific self-portraitists of all time. Van Gogh used portrait painting as a method of introspection, a method to make money and a method of developing his skills as an artist. When Van Gogh first began painting he used peasants as models. After this stage, he worked more on experimenting with his use of color in painting landscapes and flowers, primarily because he could not afford to pay models. He explains this in a letter to his sister Wilhelmina van Gogh in 1887,“Of my own work I think that the picture of peasants eating potatoes I did in Nuenen is après tout the best I've done. But since then I've had no chance of getting models, though on the other hand I did have the chance to study the colour question. And if I should find models again for my figures later, then I would hope to be able to show that I am after something other than little green landscapes or flowers. ”As Van Gogh struggled to make a living as an artist he became reliant on his brother Theo and the charity of others such as Julien \"\"Père\"\" Tanguy, who ran the paint store that Van Gogh frequented in Paris. With their generosity of money and supplies, Van Gogh continued working as an artist and thought of portrait painting as a practical application of his talent."

Post Impressionist artists are artists who were influenced by impressionism but rejected its constraints and embarked on their own artistic styles which were more emotionally based than impressionist work. “ Vincent Willem van Gogh {van goh}, b. Mar. 30, 1853, is today probably the most widely known and appreciated representative of postimpressionism.

The Potato Eaters (1885)Artwork description & Analysis: This early canvas is considered Van Gogh's first masterpiece. Painted while living among the peasants and laborers in Nuenen in the Netherlands, Van Gogh strove to depict the people and their lives truthfully. Rendering the scene in a dull palette, he echoed the drab living conditions of the peasants and used ugly models to further iterate the effects manual labor had upon these workers. This effect is heightened by his use of loose brushstrokes to describe the faces and hands of the peasants as they huddle around the singular, small lantern, eating their meager meal of potatoes. Despite the evocative nature of the scene, the painting was not considered successful until after Van Gogh's death. At the time this work was painted, the Impressionists had dominated the Parisian avant-garde for over a decade with their light palettes. It is not surprising that Van Gogh's brother, Theo, found it impossible to sell paintings from this period in his brother's career. However, this work not only demonstrates Van Gogh's commitment to rendering emotionally and spiritually laden scenes in his art, but also established ideas that Van Gogh followed throughout his career.

Don't forget to visit the artist overview pages of the artists that interest you. The Scream (1893)Artist: Edvard Munch Artwork description & Analysis: Throughout his artistic career, Munch focused on scenes of death, agony, and anxiety in distorted and emotionally charged portraits, all themes and styles that would be adopted by the Expressionists. Here, in Munch's most famous painting, he depicts the battle between the individual and society. The setting of The Scream was suggested to the artist while walking along a bridge overlooking Oslo; as Munch recalls, \"\"the sky turned as red as blood. I stopped and leaned against the fence...shivering with fear. Then I heard the enormous, infinite scream of nature.\"\" Although Munch did not observe the scene as rendered in his painting, The Scream evokes the jolting emotion of the encounter and exhibits a general anxiety toward the tangible world. The representation of the artist's emotional response to a scene would form the basis of the Expressionists' artistic interpretations. The theme of individual alienation, as represented in this image would persist throughout the 20 th century, captivating Expressionist artists as a central feature of modern life."

About the Art Vincent Van Gogh (1853 – 1890) was a Dutch post-Impressionist Master whose innovative artwork powerfully influenced modern Expressionism, Fauvism, and early abstraction. Astoundingly prolific, Van Gogh produced all of his work during a 10-year period, at one point, creating 150 paintings and drawings within one year. Painting outdoors, Van Gogh uniquely captured the nighttime nuances of light and shadow, and was also renowned for his paintings of sunflowers and irises. Tormented by mental illness for most of his life, Van Gogh created many of his masterpieces while he was institutionalized. Although Van Gogh only sold one painting during his lifetime, he is now regarded as one of the most profoundly influential artists of the 19th century.

Without realising that he was fatally wounded, he returned to the Ravoux Inn, where he died in his bed two days later. Theo hastened to be at his side and reported his last words as \"\"La tristesse durera toujours\"\", (French for \"\"the sadness will last forever\"\"). He was buried at the cemetery of Auvers-sur-Oise.

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Entertainment & Arts Fine Art Art History What is Fauvism? Flag What is Fauvism? Answer by P32002121 Confidence votes 58.8KFauvism is a movement that was first shown in the 1905 Salon d'Automne in Paris. The Salon d'Automne was intended to exhibit works that were more cutting edge. The Salon was against the more conservative and traditional Salons in France. Fauvists (including Matisse, Vlaminck, and Derain) were exhibited in the Salle VII, and were nicknamed \"\"The Caged Beasts\"\" by a critic at the time. Fauvism is an expressive, colorful style. Their aim wasn't to reproduce reality, but rather create something interesting. One notable painting from this movement (and also the one that received most of the public scorn) was Matisse's Woman with a Hat. His thick brushstrokes, vivid colors, and striking composition were all major qualities of the Fauvists."

"text": "\"CULTURE & ARTS 11/21/2014 10:26 am ET Updated Dec 06, 20178 Things You Didn’t Know About The Artist Vincent Van Gogh By Todd Van Luling The work of post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh has been widely celebrated in the time since his death, at the age of 37, in 1890. In recent years, two Academy Award-winning films featured his work — “Lust for Life” and “Midnight in Paris” — though the Dutch artist died believing his life’s work was a failure. Legend has it that the artist only sold a single painting in his lifetime, and van Gogh was no star in the art world. He lived a life plagued by self-doubt, crippled by numerous behavioral conditions. When van Gogh completed “The Starry Night,” arguably some of his finest work, the artist didn’t even think it was any good — a sentiment the world’s initial response seemed to confirm. However, in 1941, the painting became part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City; in 1973, a museum in Amsterdam opened with its primary commitment to house works by van Gogh. A recent Vanity Fair article called into question the details surrounding van Gogh’s final years and untimely death. Accordingly, The Huffington Post examined more of the unknown. Here are eight things you didn’t van Knowgh:1. Vincent van Gogh apparently placed lit candles in his hat so he could paint at night."

The short answer is that I don’t know. The longer answer is one that artists often give: It took Van Gogh some ten years of quite intensive and dedicated study to develop the technique he became known for, and thus it is not entirely inaccurate to say it took him ten years. The answer you probably want to have: Van Gogh was a quite fast worker, and often completed paintings within a few hours. He sometimes spread the work out over a few days, but most of his paintings were completed fairly rapidly. It is noteworthy, incidentally, that there are two Van Gogh paintings commonly known by the title “The Starry Night.” You are probably thinking of this, the more famous one: But this painting, known as “Starry Night over the Rhône,” is also sometimes simply called “Starry Night”:1.7k Views · View Upvoters Related Questions More Answers Below How long did van gogh paintings take to make?

"text": "\"Hugo, Victor About Victor Hugo, the famous Romantic author, was born on February 26, 1802 in Besançon, France. In 1809, after moving to Italy and then Spain, Hugo's mother was involved with an anti-Napoleonic conspirator. His parents divorced in 1818 in France, right after Hugo's talent was recognized by the French Academy in 1817. In 1822, with growing recognition, Victor Hugo married Adèle Foucher; they had a daughter, Léopoldine, in 1824. Their first son, Charles, was born in 1826, after Hugo had earned two concurrent pensions from Louis XVIII and an invitation to attend the coronation of Charles X. In 1827, Victor Hugo published Cromwell, which proved very significant to the world of Romanticism and the Gothic revival. Hugo and Adèle had two more children, François-Victor in 1828 and Adéle in 1830, before both found extra-marital partners. In 1830, Hugo had also started to write the famous Notre-Dame de Paris, and it was published in 1831. In 1837, amid a flurry of publishing, Hugo was made a member of the Légion d'Honneur. Amid his scholastic success, his personal life was less than ideal -- his daughter Léopoldine drowned in 1843 and his other daughter, Adéle, suffered from mental illness (not to mention his and his wife's mutual extra-marital affairs). In 1845, now with two mistresses, Hugo was named Peer of France."

He is a complex villian with a strong belief system, who believes he is doing the right thing, and when he realizes Valjean is the better man, his belief system crumbles and he can't conceive of a way to go on living without it.

He was the only president of the French Second Republic and the head of the Second French Empire. The nephew and heir of Napoleon I, he was the first Head of State of France to hold the title of President, the first elected by a direct popular vote, and the youngest until the election of Emmanuel Macron in 2017. Barred by the Constitution and Parliament from running for a second term, he organized a self- coup d'état in 1851 and then took the throne as Napoleon III on 2 December 1852, the forty-eighth anniversary of his uncle's coronation. He remains the longest-serving French head of state since the French Revolution. His downfall was brought about by the Franco-Prussian war in which France was quickly and decisively defeated by the North German Confederation, led by Prussia. During the first years of the Empire, Napoleon's government imposed censorship and harsh repressive measures against his opponents."

Notre-Dame de Paris seen from quai de Montebello Maurice de Sully, bishop of Paris, decided to build a new cathedral for the expanding population, dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Although construction started in 1163, it was not completed until roughly 180 years later in about 1345. Built in an age of illiteracy, the cathedral retells the stories of the Bible in its portals, paintings, and stained glass. On completion of the choir in 1183, work was begun on the nave and completed c.1208, followed by the west front and towers c.1225-1250. A series of chapels were added to the nave during the period 1235-50, and to the apse during 1296-1330 (Pierre de Chelles and Jean Ravy). Transept crossings were built in 1250-67 by Jean de Chelles and Pierre de Montreuil (also the architect of the Sainte-Chapelle)."

"text": "\"The Gothic begins with later-eighteenth-century writers' turn to the past; in the context of the Romantic period, the Gothic is, then, a type of imitation medievalism. When it was launched in the later eighteenth century, The Gothic featured accounts of terrifying experiences in ancient castles — experiences connected with subterranean dungeons, secret passageways, flickering lamps, screams, moans, bloody hands, ghosts, graveyards, and the rest. By extension, it came to designate the macabre, mysterious, fantastic, supernatural, and, again, the terrifying, especially the pleasurably terrifying, in literature more generally. Closer to the present, one sees the Gothic pervading Victorian literature (for example, in the novels of Dickens and the Brontës), American fiction (from Poe and Hawthorne through Faulkner), and of course the films, television, and videos of our own (in this respect, not-so-modern) culture. The Gothic revival, which appeared in English gardens and architecture before it got into literature, was the work of a handful of visionaries, the most important of whom was Horace Walpole (1717–1797), novelist, letter writer, and son of the prime minister Sir Robert Walpole. In the 1740s Horace Walpole purchased Strawberry Hill, an estate on the Thames near London, and set about remodeling it in what he called \"\"Gothick\"\" style, adding towers, turrets, battlements, arched doors, windows, and ornaments of every description, creating a kind of spurious medieval architecture that survives today mainly in churches, military academies, and university buildings. The project was extremely influential, as people came from all over to see Strawberry Hill and returned to Gothicize their own houses. When the Gothic made its appearance in literature, Walpole was again a chief initiator, publishing The Castle of Otranto (1764), a short novel in which the ingredients are a haunted castle, a Byronic villain (before Byron's time — and the villain's name is Manfred! ), mysterious deaths, supernatural happenings, a moaning ancestral portrait, a damsel in distress, and, as the Oxford Companion to English Literature puts it, \"\"violent emotions of terror, anguish, and love.\"\" The work was tremendously popular, and imitations followed in such numbers that the Gothic novel (or romance) was probably the commonest type of fiction in England for the next half century."

Watched something that was once so beautiful, so full of life, collapse and rot from within? \"\" ―Mr. Freeze to Hugo Strange [src]Once a respected and brilliant cryogenicist, Dr. Victor Fries turned to a life of crime after his wife, Nora Fries, whom Victor had cryogenically froze to develop enough time to create a cure for her rare illness, was stolen away from him by his corrupt CEO, Ferris Boyle. In the confusion, Fries was drenched in the cryogenic chemicals that he had created to freeze Nora, which changed his metabolism. The result was Mr. Freeze, a cold-blooded villain who was motivated by the desire to save and cure his wife and kill anyone who would stand in his way. On New Years Eve, Freeze eventually got his opportunity for revenge against his former employer, and allied himself with the criminal kingpin, The Penguin, and his gang with the promise of supplying them with cryogenic weapons. Though Boyle was eventually arrested and Nora was saved by Batman, Freeze regarded the hero as an adversary for stopping his revenge against Boyle and sent him to Arkham Asylum . Continuing in his plans and attempts to cure his wife through crime over the years, Freeze rarely worked with other villains unless it furthered his research to save Nora. Within the confines of Arkham City, Freeze was blackmailed to perform the will of both The Joker and Hugo Strange under the threat of his wife's death."

"text": "The term “Gothic” originates with the ornate architecture created by Germanic tribes called the Goths. It was then later expanded to include most of the medieval style of architecture. The ornate and intricate style of this kind of architecture proved to be the ideal backdrop for both the physical and the psychological settings in a new literary style, one which concerned itself with elaborate tales of mystery, suspense, and superstition. The height of the Gothic period, which was closely aligned with Romanticism, is usually considered to have been the years 1764-1840, but its influence extends to the present day in authors such as V. C. Andrews. Plot and Examples The plot of Gothic literature novels typically involves people who become involved in complex and oftentimes evil paranormal schemes, usually against an innocent and helpless heroine. One such example is the young Emily St. Aubert in Anne Radcliffe’s classic Gothic novel, The Mysteries of Udolpho (1794). This novel would later become an inspiration for parody in Jane Austen ’s Northanger Abbey (1817). The most famous example of pure Gothic fiction is perhaps the first example of the genre, Horace Walpole’s The Castle of Otranto (1764). Although rather short, the setting certainly fits the description given above, and the combined elements of terror and medievalism set a precedent for an entirely new, thrilling genre. Selected Bibliography In addition to The Mysteries of Udolpho and The Castle of Otranto, there are a number of classic novels which those interested in gothic literature will want to pick up."

Hugo is considered to be one of the greatest and best-known French writers. Outside of France, his most famous works are the novels Les Misérables, 1862, and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (French: Notre-Dame de Paris ), 1831. In France, Hugo is known primarily for his poetry collections, such as Les Contemplations ( The Contemplations) and La Légende des siècles ( The Legend of the Ages ). Hugo was at the forefront of the romantic literary movement with his play Cromwell and drama Hernani. Many of his works have inspired music, both during his lifetime and after his death, including the musicals Notre-Dame de Paris and Les Misérables. He produced more than 4,000 drawings in his lifetime, and campaigned for social causes such as the abolition of capital punishment. Though a committed royalist when he was young, Hugo's views changed as the decades passed, and he became a passionate supporter of republicanism; his work touches upon most of the political and social issues and the artistic trends of his time. He is buried in the Panthéon in Paris."

"text": "\"History of the The Romantic Movement Article shared by :1. The Essence of Romanticism: If the eighteenth century is called the age of rationalism, the first half of the nineteenth century is often called the Age of Romanticism. It is true that there were other powerful influences at work, but romanticism was the dominant one, at least in literature and fine arts. Image Source: e62813.medialib.glogster.com/thumbnails/8a96d0d5c07523212d6f947f32640a8a463330f6ab2ea7a1bdf145397ece2ea8/romanticism-project-source.jpg ADVERTISEMENTS: In a broad sense, romanticism was a reaction against the forms and conventions of the eighteenth century. Enlightenment told the people how exactly to think, feel and behave. Neo-classicism set down hard and fast rules which the poet, playwright or artist must observe if he wanted to produce a perfect composition. The result was that rules, formulas and conventions reigned supreme in literature, in fine arts and in society generally. Romanticism was a revolt against classical restraint, intellectual discipline and artificial standards. Romanticism did not oppose everything for which the past stood as literary romanticism proceeded from neo-classicism. A writer or an artist is neither exclusively classical nor romantic."

Time, money and deep thought go into every faith fueled detail of these buildings. Whenever someone mentions the word cathedral, you can imagine how grand it is before seeing it. Many of them date back to the Middle Ages and have stood the test of time with treasures intact for future generations to enjoy. Cathedrals are set apart from many places of worship and contain a cathedra or a bishop’s ceremonial chair. They're centers of power for their diocese, which affords them special status and why you may find certain famous churches lacking from this list of 15 largest cathedrals in the world.15)Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral Mexico City’s cathedral, called the Catedral Metropolitana, in Spanish is the oldest and largest in Latin America. The travel site also mentions much of the stone used to build this structure originally came from the Aztec temples of the area, which the Spanish tore down when they forced the natives to convert to Christianity. This cathedral started being built in 1567 and wasn't finished until over two centuries later. The style draws on both baroque and neoclassical architectural principles as well as the churrigueresque style native to Mexico. Each of the cathedral’s two towers weighs 127,000 tons and overlook the Zócalo plaza."

Frollo's crazy when the waterspout animates, but the scene where Hugo moves for Djali really complicates this one. One theory is that the gargoyles are a combination of Unreliable Narrator and Imaginary Friend, it's all in the hunchback's head. It's assumed that Clopin is telling the story, but he obviously couldn't have known as much as he did since he wasn't there for most of the story. He must have asked Quasimodo for details, and Quasi mentioned the gargoyles doing these sorts of things, since to Quasi they would have been \"\"real\"\". They may not have done any of that at all, and Clopin is only telling the story as he was told. The sequel confirms that the Gargoyles are real magical sapient creatures, and not Quasi's imagination; At the end,the Gargoyles are sad to lose Quasimodo and hope that Madellaine will take care of him. Then Madellaine winks at the Gargoyles and tells them she'll take good care of Quasi, causing the shocked Gargoyles do to a literal Jaw Drop . They're imaginary when Rule of Drama is in effect and real when Rule of Funny is in effect."

"text": "\"\"\"We must remind ourselves that these monumental structures, although they remain intensely alive, are merely the skeletons of the cathedrals of medieval times. Compared with what it was when first created, the cathedral, as we see it now, is like a venerable old lady whose noble carriage barely suggests the striking belle she must have been in her youth. We should not only recall the past splendor of the cathedral, most of whose external adornment is now lost, but also attempt to understand what the cathedral was during the progress of its own creation; the role it played at the heart of the city that saw its birth among the people whose stubborn or enthusiastic will alone caused its skyward thrust. \"\"— Zoe Oldenbourg, 'With Stone and Faith'In thinking of Gothic architecture, our thoughts always ascend. For that which embodies Gothic style most is lofty; Rose windows of stained glass, ornately crafted spires, and the guardians of grand cathedrals, the Gargoyles. Each is distinctly Gothic, and all distinctly Notre Dame de Paris. Many diversified characteristics will help identify a structure as Gothic: ogee archways, ribbed vaults, and the wondrous flying buttresses are a few. Yet, it is always the craft placed high above, which captures our eyes and imaginations most effectively. Since all works of religious art rise beyond mere artistic expression, bearing potent symbolic reference, we must accept that our attention was intended to be focused upwards. Within the span of the passing centuries, the cathedrals of the Middle Ages themselves rise up above other cultural achievements."

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

"text": "\"The Drifting Language of Architectural Accessibility in Victor Hugo's Notre-Dame de Paris Essaka Joshua University of Notre Dame E-mail: [email protected] Keywords: Accessibility, aesthetics, architecture, spatial rhetoric, synecdoche, Victor Hugo, visual rhetoric Abstract Buildings often employ visual and spatial rhetorics that both persuade us of their function and determine personal functionality. Architectural language is a defining feature of disability in Victor Hugo's Notre-Dame de Paris (1831) and a universally accessible language. In emphasizing the synecdochic relationship between gothic buildings and the disabled body, Hugo demonstrates that he is not only a pioneer in urban and architectural semantics, but that he also understands the complex symbolic relationship between architecture and the disabled body. Defining beauty as atypicality, through the gothic aesthetic, Hugo presents Notre Dame Cathedral as a uniquely drifting symbol (with its multiple meanings, its transitional status and its cultural miscegenation) with a revelatory function: it expresses disability as normative. Buildings often work in ways that are rhetorical. Through our experiences of accessibility they can persuade us that we are welcome or unwelcome; through their visual style they can create conflict with or signal acceptance of aesthetic conventions and the cultures of other nations; they can express the vernacular or promote rules of decorum, reinforce class stratification, or define the spirit of an age. Although architectural language is separate from words, it is, nonetheless, an important expression of cultural identity and cultural exchange. Its visual rhetoric is crafted with purpose, and it invites reaction. Yet the visual dimensions of rhetoric have only recently become an important part of communication-related disciplines. Broadly defined as \"\"those symbolic actions enacted primarily through visual means, made meaningful through culturally derived ways of looking and seeing and endeavoring to influence diverse publics\"\" (Olson et al."

Oh, you know, family of witches. ”— Kai to Bonnie in Black Hole Sun A Coven is a name used to describe a gathering of witches. A coven is generally a group of twelve or more witches who occasionally meet to practice magic, celebrate sacred holidays, and discuss topics on witchcraft. As shown on several occasions, covens seem to always have both a leader and followers. In New Orleans, there are at least nine covens, all of which have detailed rules of conduct and a complex structure. All members of each of the nine New Orleans covens follow a leader known as the Regent. Together, the nine covens are a collective community that has Elders who guide them, and each coven individually has its own structure and different types of magic that they practice (such as sacrificial magic, necromancy, etc) as well. However, they all appear to share their common form of witchcraft, Ancestral Magic, which they practice by drawing upon the magical power of the Ancestors . To earn the title of an Elder, a witch must have the power bestowed upon them by another Elder, or, in the case where there are no Elders to pass on the power, the witch in question must be able to consecrate the mortal remains of a powerful witch; this fail-safe was demonstrated by the witch Sophie Deveraux, who became an Elder of the French Quarter Coven after consecrating the remains of Esther Mikaelson ."

But as I was so to begin with, I only enjoy it. ”Van Gogh was also enthralled with night, as he wrote to his brother Theo that same year: “It often seems to me that the night is much more alive and richly colored than the day....

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

The movie was made during World War II, and this is likely a subtle way of explaining why a healthy young man like Mc Pherson wasn't in the service. He would likely have been rejected for military service because of the metal pin.69 of 69 found this interesting | Share this Despite the Oscar snub of the score, David Raksin 's music proved to be so popular that the studio soon found itself inundated with letters asking if there was a recording available of the main theme. Soon sheet music and recordings of the instrumental music were released and proved to be a huge hit with the public.39 of 39 found this interesting | Share this Darryl F. Zanuck was opposed to casting Clifton Webb because of Webb's well-known (in Hollywood) homosexuality, but producer/director Otto Preminger prevailed and the 54-year-old Webb, making his first screen appearance since 1925, was nominated for an Oscar.88 of 91 found this interesting | Share this This film was intended to be narrated by Waldo, then Mark, then Laura, respectively. Mark's and Laura's narratives were later dropped.50 of 51 found this interesting | Share this Clifton Webb had to deal with the shock of seeing himself on screen after a long absence from Hollywood. Watching the first batch of rushes that included his first scene in the tub when he meets Mc Pherson, Webb nearly had a heart attack: \"\"When I saw myself sitting in the bathtub looking very much like Mohandas K. Gandhi. I felt I might vomit. After it was over [ Dana Andrews] saved my life with a big swig of bourbon. The first shock of seeing myself had a strange effect on me, psychologically, as it made me realize for the first time that I was no longer a dashing young juvenile, which I must have fancied myself being through the years in the theatre. \"\" 48 of 49 found this interesting | Share this The portrait of Laura is, in fact, a photograph done over with oil paint.75 of 78 found this interesting | Share this With two weeks worth of work having to be scrapped, Otto Preminger began his directing job with a purposeful vengeance."

Pacino was born April 25, 1940, in East Harlem, NY. Raised in the Bronx, he attended the legendary High School for Performing Arts, but dropped out at the age of 17. He spent the next several years drifting from job to job, continuing to study acting and occasionally appearing in off-off-Broadway productions. In 1966, Pacino was accepted to train at the Actors' Studio, and after working with James Earl Jones in The Peace Creeps, he starred as a brutal street youth in the off-Broadway social drama The Indian Wants the Bronx, earning an Obie Award as Best Actor for the 1967-1968 theatrical season. A year later, he made his Broadway debut in Does the Tiger Wear a Necktie? Although the play itself closed after less than 40 performances, Pacino was universally praised for his potent portrayal of a sociopathic drug addict, and he won a Tony Award for his performance. Pacino made his film debut in the 1969 flop Me, Natalie. After making his theatrical directorial debut with 1970's Rats, he returned to the screen a year later in Panic in Needle Park, again appearing as a junkie. ( To prepare for the role, he and co-star Kitty Winn conducted extensive research in known drug-dealer haunts as well as methadone clinics.)"

He spent most of his childhood as a recluse, drawing cartoons, and watching old movies (he was especially fond of films with Vincent Price ). When he was in the ninth grade, his artistic talent was recognized by a local garbage company, when he won a prize for an anti-litter poster he designed. The company placed this poster on all of their garbage trucks for a year. After graduating from high school, he attended California Institute of the Arts. Like so many others who graduated from that school, Burton's first job was as an animator for Disney. His early film career was fueled by almost unbelievable good luck, but it's his talent and originality that have kept him at the top of the Hollywood tree. He worked on such films as The Fox and the Hound (1981) and The Black Cauldron (1985), but had some creative differences with his colleagues. Nevertheless, Disney recognized his talent, and gave him the green light to make Vincent (1982), an animated short about a boy who wanted to be just like Vincent Price. Narrated by Price himself, the short was a critical success and won several awards."

"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."

This should of course come to no suprise to most people, some big hits of the eighties were covers as well (\"\"Mickey\"\", \"\"Der Kommisar\"\", \"\"You Keep Me Hanging On\"\" (which was remade into a hit four times so far)). So far though, most covers have been pretty hideous. We only list songs that are originally from the eighties and are now being made into covers. We also only list a band if they're already well known or the group is making a lot of radio play with the remake. Oh and to clear up a misconception a few people out there seem to be having about this page (and sending me very nasty letters). I have no problem with artists who do a cover of a song in concert, or because they are just starting out and don't have enough original material of their own for a full set of songs. As a matter of fact, cover bands can be great fun to go and see. All groups in modern history start out this way, I own a lot of The Beatles albums and they were the original cover group. A lot of early rock songs were covers of old R&B tunes."

"text": "\"BRUMLEYBy Lucille Crane In 1880, the town of Brumley was a small settlement in Miller County located 12 miles south of Tuscumbia, the county seat and was 16 miles northwest of Crocker, its shipping point. It had a district school and it shipped wheat, eggs, chickens, and dried fruit out of the area as exports to other parts of the country. It had a mail service semi-weekly and the population numbered approximately 100 persons. The following were some of the businessmen and their professions: Dr. J. L. Conner, physician; Martin and Garmer, general storekeepers; Hagan and Williams, wagon makers; R. A. Harper, a tinner and justice of the peace; J. M. Hawkins, farmer; Dr. S. P. Hickman, physician; W. F. Karr, a mason; J. C. Martin, a druggist, R. B. Reed owned a restaurant; James Thompson was the postmaster and also a notary public; Thompson and Hawkins had a general store and a lumber company. In the year 1868, the United States Government conveyed approximately 17 parcels of land in Miller County to the State of Missouri and classified them as \"\"swamp lands\"\". Congress had approved an act in 1850 entitled \"\"An Act to Enable the State of Arkansas and other States to reclaim the \"\"Swamp Lands\"\" within their limits.\"\" The U. S. Government granted the State of Missouri all the \"\"swamp and overflowed lands\"\" made unfit thereby for cultivation within the State, which remained unsold in the passage of the said Act in 1850. There were several pieces of land unsold in 1868, so President Andrew Johnson signed a bill authorizing Congress to grant these lands to the State of Missouri and then Missouri in turn granted the lands to Miller County to be sold for a very reasonable price. Some tracts were sold as cheap as $1.00 per acre. The town of Brumley in Glaize Township in south central Miller County has figured prominently in the development of the area."

It was English gold and support that bolstered the Protestant cause in Scotland and Netherlands. With Phillip having conquered Portugal and expanded Spain’s Atlantic power, he ordered his admirals to assemble an Armada which could crush the Protestants in England once and for all. “The Invincible Armada”By May 1588 Phillip had prepared a fleet consisting of 130 ships, 2,400 cannon and over 30,000 men. This was the greatest naval force the world had yet seen. It was called “The Invincible Armada.” The plan was for the Armada to sail up the English Channel, pick up troops from the Spanish Netherlands under the Duke of Parma and escorting his invasion barges across the Channel to conquer England. Queen Elizabeth ordered the entire nation to pray for God’s intervention and protection against the invading Spanish Armada.

Find an I-O Job I-O Graduate Programs My. SIOP Community SIOP Social Media John Broadus Watson, I-O Psychologist Diane F. Di Clemente and Donald A. Hantula Temple University John B. Watson (1878-1958) was one of the most well known early psychologists whose work and professional relationships spanned the field from comparative psychology (e.g. Watson, 1908a, 1909b; Watson & Lashley, 1915), experimental psychology (e.g. Watson 1907), sensory psychology (Watson, 1909a) to behavioral psychology (Watson & Rayner, 1920). Indeed, the terms \"\"behavioral\"\" and \"\"experimental\"\" are often used to describe Watson and his work, and they have overshadowed his contributions to I-O psychology. Thus, it may surprise many to find that Watson was involved in applied psychological research throughout most of his life, but his contributions to the field of I-O psychology have often been overlooked despite the fact that many of his ideas endure today. Watson's career in advertising is usually discussed in relation to his applied psychology work, but what may be most unexpected about Watson's work in applied psychology is that it did not inspire the current behavior analytic consumer psychology literature with active research programs in classical conditioning (e.g. Tom, 1995) and operant conditioning (e.g. Lindsley, 1962; Foxall 1994). Although his best-known applied work was in advertising, it was his accomplishments in personnel selection and management that continue to have an effect today. In this paper we present Watson's largely unknown contributions to I-O psychology, especially in personnel selection, with the majority of this research garnered from documents that contain many of Watson's original writings from the Watson files in the Library of Congress."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Not to be confused with Behavioralism. \"\" Behavior analysis\"\" redirects here. For other uses, see Behavior analysis (disambiguation). Behaviorism (or behaviourism) is a systematic approach to understanding the behavior of humans and other animals. It assumes that all behaviors are either reflexes produced by a response to certain stimuli in the environment, or a consequence of that individual's history, including especially reinforcement and punishment, together with the individual's current motivational state and controlling stimuli. Although behaviorists generally accept the important role of inheritance in determining behavior, they focus primarily on environmental factors. Behaviorism combines elements of philosophy, methodology, and psychological theory. It emerged in the late nineteenth century as a reaction to depth psychology and other traditional forms of psychology, which often had difficulty making predictions that could be tested experimentally. The earliest derivatives of Behaviorism can be traced back to the late 19th century where Edward Thorndike pioneered the law of effect, a process that involved strengthening behavior through the use of reinforcement. During the first half of the twentieth century, John B. Watson devised methodological behaviorism, which rejected introspective methods and sought to understand behavior by only measuring observable behaviors and events."

He believed that psychology had two problems; the pursuit of consciousness as an object of study and the use of introspection as a method. Watson developed a type of psychology that he believed would address these issues, behaviorism. “ Psychology as the behaviorist views it is a purely objective experimental branch of natural science. Its theoretical goal is the prediction and control of behavior” this is the definition of behaviorism that John Watson expressed as his Columbia address. Behaviorism is said to limit the psychological study of behavior. Watson believes that humans had three innate emotions when they were born: fear, rage, and love. The goal would be to take one of the emotions and condition it to a stimulus in order to create a response that was not previously elicited. This was demonstrated in the “Little Albert” experiment. Watson had a baby, Little Albert, who was not fearful of white rats."

George Boeree Behaviorism is the philosophical position that says that psychology, to be a science, must focus its attentions on what is observable -- the environment and behavior -- rather than what is only available to the individual -- perceptions, thoughts, images, feelings.... The latter are subjective and immune to measurement, and therefore can never lead to an objective science. The first behaviorists were Russian. The very first was Ivan M. Sechenov (1829 to 1905). He was a physiologist who had studied at the University of Berlin with famous people like Müller, Du Bois-Reymond, and Helmholtz. Devoted to a rigorous blend of associationism and materialism, he concluded that all behavior is caused by stimulation. In 1863, he wrote Reflexes of the Brain . In this landmark book, he introduced the idea that there are not only excitatory processes in the central nervous system, but inhibitory ones as well. Vladimir M. Bekhterev (1857 to 1927) is another early Russian behaviorist. He graduated in 1878 from the Military Medical Academy in St. Petersburg, one year before Pavlov arrived there. He received his MD in 1881 at the tender age of 24, then went to study with the likes of Du Bois-Reymond and Wundt in Berlin, and Charcot in France."

"text": "\"Classical Conditioningby Saul Mc Leod, updated 2014Behaviorism as a movement in psychology appeared in 1913 when John Broadus Watson published the classic article psychology as the behaviorist views it. John Watson proposed that the process of classical conditioning (based on Pavlov’s observations) was able to explain all aspects of human psychology. Everything from speech to emotional responses was simply patterns of stimulus and response. Watson denied completely the existence of the mind or consciousness. Watson believed that all individual differences in behavior were due to different experiences of learning. He famously said:\"\"Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my own specified world to bring them up in and I'll guarantee to take any one at random and train him to become any type of specialist I might select - doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant-chief and, yes, even beggar-man and thief, regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations and the race of his ancestors” (Watson, 1924, p. 104). Classical Conditioning Examples Classical conditioning theory involves learning a new behavior via the process of association. In simple terms, two stimuli are linked together to produce a newly learned response in a person or animal. There are three stages of classical conditioning. At each stage the stimuli and responses are given special scientific terms: Stage 1: Before Conditioning: In this stage, the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) produces an unconditioned response (UCR) in an organism."

By using Mokken scaling analyses we can assess whether items can reliably be ordered between persons as severity indicators on a latent trait; in this case, a latent trait of Happiness. OHI item-level data from 1024 participants were entered into the Mokken Scaling Procedure (MSP) seeking reliable scales with H > 0.30. 12 OHI items formed a reliable and statistically significant hierarchy. However, the MSP values indicate a ‘weak’ scale. The ‘most difficult’ (happiest) item on the scale is ‘feeling energetic’ and the ‘least difficult’ (least happy) is ‘I have fun’. Items in the scale are consistent with what is already known about both happiness and low mood. The reduction in the OHI’s items from 29 to 12 in the Mokken scale may have utility making it more accessible to participants as well as identifying items with reliably different levels of ‘difficulty’.

"text": "\"Behaviorism was a movement in psychology and philosophy that emphasized the outward behavioral aspects of thought and dismissed the inward experiential, and sometimes the inner procedural, aspects as well; a movement harking back to the methodological proposals of John B. Watson, who coined the name. Watson's 1913 manifesto proposed abandoning Introspectionist attempts to make consciousness a subject of experimental investigation to focus instead on behavioral manifestations of intelligence. B. F. Skinner later hardened behaviorist strictures to exclude inner physiological processes along with inward experiences as items of legitimate psychological concern. Consequently, the successful \"\"cognitive revolution\"\" of the nineteen sixties styled itself a revolt against behaviorism even though the computational processes cognitivism hypothesized would be public and objective -- not the sort of private subjective processes Watson banned. Consequently (and ironically), would-be-scientific champions of consciousness now indict cognitivism for its \"\"behavioristic\"\" neglect of inward experience. The enduring philosophical interest of behaviorism concerns this methodological challenge to the scientific bona fides of consciousness (on behalf of empiricism) and, connectedly (in accord with materialism), its challenge to the supposed metaphysical inwardness, or subjectivity, of thought. Although behaviorism as an avowed movement may have few remaining advocates, various practices and trends in psychology and philosophy may still usefully be styled \"\"behavioristic\"\". As long as experimental rigor in psychology is held to require \"\"operationalization\"\" of variables, behaviorism's methodological mark remains. Recent attempts to revive doctrines of \"\"ontological subjectivity\"\" (Searle 1992) in philosophy and bring \"\"consciousness research\"\" under the aegis of Cognitive Science (see Horgan 1994) point up the continuing relevance of behaviorism's metaphysical and methodological challenges.

"text": "\"The Problem of Consciousness It may seem ironic that a book titled The Roots of Consciousness has little to say about the field of psychology itself. The primary reasons for this is that in developing itself as a scientific discipline, psychology has moved away from the fundamental question of the human psyche in order to address more measureable, tangible issues that could properly be addressed by existing scientific methods. Experimental psychology begins with the work of the mystical philosopher and scientist Gustav Theodore Fechner -- whose theories on the soul life of plants, animals and humans have been outlined in Section II. In 1860, Fechner published Elemente der Psychophysik . The concepts he used and the problems he defined have become the foundation of experimental work in sensory experience since his time. He developed the psychological measure known as the just noticeable difference (jnd) which is the smallest observable difference between two stimuli, e.g. two different lights. He determined that the relationship between the intensity of a physical stimulus and the just noticeable difference at that intensity is a logarithmic one. In other words, the difference in intensity between two very bright lights will have to be much greater than the difference in intensity of two very dim lights in order for a jnd to be perceived. Unlike the psychologists who followed in his footsteps, Fechner believed he had discovered a relationship between the individual consciousness and the sublime universal soul. While Fechner's work was an effort to bridge experimental science and the world of mysticism, it also fell within the philosophy of mind-body dualism, espoused by Rene Descarte."

"text": "\"Abraham Maslow Biography: The Father of Humanistic Psychology & Self Actualization Theory Abraham Maslow was one of the strongest proponents of the humanistic movement in psychology and also one of the biggest critics of behaviorism and psychoanalysis. The Positive Basis of Maslow's Theory Maslow viewed human beings in a very positive light and believed that everyone has a natural tendency to pursue progress and achieve their highest potential. Maslow argued that we are all innately good, kind, and virtuous, and that psychologists had spent far too much time focusing on the negative aspects of humanity. He said,\"\"Human nature is not nearly as bad as it has been thought to be. \"\" While he believed that parenting and childhood experiences were vitally important, he also proposed that we are responsible for our own development and that we can consciously choose how to shape our future. Despite Universal Needs, We are All Individuals Yes, we are all born with what Maslow called \"\"instinctoid needs\"\" or \"\"innate needs\"\" that drive us to grow, develop, and do whatever is necessary to fulfill these needs. BUT, he was also one of the first people to suggest that individuals are unique beings. In a time dominated by the stimulus-response theory, this idea was quite shocking. Behaviorists such as John B. Watson denied individuality but believed that you could create any behavior you wanted by using the right punishments and rewards. Still others argued that everything about personality was biological and had nothing to do with social environment or personal experience."

"text": "Theories Behavioral Psychology What Is Classical Conditioning? A Step-by-Step Guide to How Classical Conditioning Really Works By Kendra Cherry | Reviewed by Steven Gans, MDUpdated April 04, 2018Share Pin Email Print Illustration by Joshua Seong. © Verywell, 2018. Classical conditioning is a type of learning that had a major influence on the school of thought in psychology known as behaviorism. Discovered by Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov, classical conditioning is a learning process that occurs through associations between an environmental stimulus and a naturally occurring stimulus. Classical Conditioning Basics Although classical conditioning was not discovered by a psychologist at all, it had a tremendous influence over the school of thought in psychology known as behaviorism. Behaviorism is based on the assumption that: All learning occurs through interactions with the environment The environment shapes behavior It's important to note that classical conditioning involves placing a neutral signal before a naturally occurring reflex. In Pavlov's classic experiment with dogs, the neutral signal was the sound of a tone and the naturally occurring reflex was salivating in response to food. By associating the neutral stimulus with the environmental stimulus (presenting of food), the sound of the tone alone could produce the salivation response. In order to understand how more about how classical conditioning works, it is important to be familiar with the basic principles of the process."

No. 1PSYCHOLOGY Psychology, the science of behavior and mental processes, has its roots in many disciplines and countries. Psychology's important issues include the relative contributions of biology and experience. Although the different perspectives on human nature have their own purposes and questions, they are complementary and together provide a fuller understanding of mind and behavior. Some psychologists conduct basic or applied research; others provide professional services, including assessing and treating troubled people. With its perspectives ranging from the biological to the social, and settings from the clinic to the laboratory, psychology has become a meeting place for many disciplines. The scientific attitude reflects an eagerness to skeptically scrutinize competing ideas with an open-minded humility before nature. This attitude, coupled with scientific principles for sifting reality from illusion, prepares us to think critically. Two reliable phenomena-hindsight bias and judgmental overconfidence-illustrate the limits of everyday intuition and our need for scientific inquiry and critical thinking. Psychologists construct theories that organize observations and imply testable hypotheses."

He was the eldest son of Arthur, a professor at the University of Neuchatel, and Rebecca Piaget. Piaget began showing his interest in Natural Sciences at a very young age, publishing a paper on the Albino Sparrow by the age of 10 or 11. By his early 20s he had already published several scientific papers and was becoming recognized in the field of Zoology. Piaget continued his study of Natural Sciences at the University of Neutchatel, receiving his Ph D in Zoology in 1918. After graduating, he spent some time studying Psychoanalysis at the University of Zurich before travelling to Paris in 1920 to work with Theodore Simon , a colleague of Alfred Binet and co-developer of the famous Binet-Simon Intelligence Scale. This scale was designed to measure the intellectual development of young children, focusing mostly on those between the ages of 3 and 12. Piaget's First Important Realization: Children's Thought Pattern Are Different from Adults Jean Piaget was responsible for administering this test to French children, and it was during this time that he began to show an interest in the cognitive and intellectual development of children. From his observations, he recognized that the thought patterns of children are different from those of adults."

Watson, Behaviorism, and Behavior: An Introduction to Comparative Psychology Robert H. Wozniak Bryn Mawr College In 1913, John Broadus Watson (1878-1958) published two lectures that he had given before the Columbia University Psychological Seminary. In the first of these lectures, [1] which appeared in the Psychological Review, Watson articulated an iconoclastic vision of psychology:\"\"Psychology as the behaviorist views it is a purely objective experimental branch of natural science. Its theoretical goal is the prediction and control of behavior. Introspection forms no essential part of its methods, nor is the scientific value of its data dependent upon the readiness with which they lend themselves to interpretation in terms of consciousness. The behaviorist, in his efforts to get a unitary scheme of animal response, recognizes no dividing line between man and brute. The behavior of man, with all of its refinement and complexity, forms only a part of the behaviorist's total scheme of investigation.\"\" [ 2]In the second lecture, [3] published several months later in the Journal of Philosophy, Psychology and Scientific Methods, Watson extended his argument. Using metaphors of war, he flatly denied the existence of centrally aroused mental images, argued that implicit verbal behavior -- not the image -- intervenes between stimulus and response, and reasserted his claim that the objective methods of the behaviorist know no dividing line between animal and human:\"\"Imagery from Galton on has been the inner stronghold of a psychology based on introspection."

( Globe Gazette photo by Matt Foy)msc Dion Di Mucci, whose claim of a coin toss with the late Ritchie Valens has fueled anger in some rock and roll corners. Submitted photomsc CLEAR LAKE - Questions about who flipped a coin that sent Ritchie Valens on an ill-fated plane crash after his appearance at the Surf Ballroom in 1959 has resulted in a firestorm of anger, name-calling - even a request for a polygraph test. Tommy Allsup, who lives in Oklahoma, has said for years that he lost a coin toss to Valens for a seat on the plane. Valens, Buddy Holly and J. P. \"\"The Big Bopper\"\" Richardson, and pilot Roger Peterson, died on Feb. 3, 1959, when the plane crashed just north of Clear Lake. Allsup's band mate, the late Waylon Jennings, said he lost a coin toss to Richardson for a seat on the plane. But Dion Di Mucci, of Dion and the Belmonts, also at the Surf that evening, says he won a coin toss with Valens, but gave up his seat when the price - $36 - was too high. Di Mucci told his story on a Iowa Rock ‘n' Roll Hall of Fame-sponsored documentary during a luncheon as part of the Winter Dance Party in February. He said he, Holly, Valens and Richardson gathered in a closed room at the Surf while Frankie Sardo sang on stage, and flipped a coin to decide who would claim a seat. Di Mucci's claim has infuriated Allsup, who was in Clear Lake that weekend."

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

"text": "Jessi Colter Revisits Waylon Jennings’ Last Recordings10/09/2012 Whitney Self“You wanna run away?” a charismatic Waylon Jennings once whispered to his future wife, Jessi Colter. Though he had been divorced from his third wife for some time, Colter was currently in the process of going through a divorce herself and told him to ask again in six months. “Would it do any good if I told you I studied for the ministry?” he pressed on. Though their first date took place more than 40 years ago, listening to Colter recount stories of an enigmatic and “cute” Jennings, it’s as though she’s recalling yesterday’s memories. What’s also apparent is her undying love and admiration she feels for her husband and musical partner who passed away 10 years ago at age 64.“Sometimes it’s just harder, a reminder that he’s not here,” she said of listening to his music. “ But, at the same time, I just get into it. This has been fun. ”She’s referring to the newly released album Goin’ Down Rockin’, a collection of her husband’s final recordings."

He looks worn out, whether it's on the close-up on the cover, or the back-cover shot of him drunkenly playing solitaire. In truth, it would be another album before he hit the top of the country charts and before outlaw country became hip. Still, this is the record where it all came home. If he had created a sketch of outlaw on Honky Tonk Heroes, he perfected the marketable version of it here, making it a little slicker, a little more commercial, and a whole lot more unstoppable. If the songs aren't the equal of Honky Tonk Heroes or even This Time, The Ramblin' Man has a wilder sound and a greater diversity of songs that make it seem more unruly than its immediate predecessor and more blatantly outlaw. This contains, after all, his first flat-out rock cover, with a good take on the Allman Brothers ' \"\"Midnight Rider,\"\" plus songs that play into the image of what an outlaw country singer is. There are moments of reflection, yet even those feed into the outlaw picture. Too bad many of the album tracks wind up being agreeable filler instead of knockouts. There aren't any bad cuts, and the entire thing holds together quite well, but it doesn't add up to a moment of transcendence the way Honky Tonk Heroes or its successor would."

[ 1] The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed in the late 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. Born during the Great Depression, and raised by his grandparents, Nelson wrote his first song at age seven and joined his first band at ten. During high school, he toured locally with the Bohemian Polka as their lead singer and guitar player. After graduating from high school in 1950, he joined the Air Force but was later discharged due to back problems."

Featuring six solo Jennings songs and five duet tracks, it was originally intended to be, as the title suggests, a continuation of or sequel of sorts to 1978's extremely successful Waylon & Willie. Chips Moman, who had produced Jennings' Black on Black and, famously, Nelson's Always on My Mind several months before, produced the album with Jennings' assistance. The songs themselves were mostly recorded in December 1981 at Moman's Studio in Nashville.

"text": "Google Bought Waze For $1.1B, Giving A Social Data Boost To Its Mapping Business5 years After months of speculation, the fate of Waze, the social-mapping-location-data startup, is finally decided: Google is buying the company, giving the search giant a social boost to its already-strong mapping and mobile businesses. Speculation has had the sale at $1 billion to $1.3 billion, and so far there is no price on the deal, but a source tells Tech Crunch that it was done for $1.1 billion. Update: Waze has also published a blog post on the acquisition. In it, CEO Noam Bardin writes that CEO Larry Page, Google GEO VP Brian Mc Clendon and the Google Maps teams “We are excited about the prospect of working with the Google Maps team to enhance our search capabilities and to join them in their ongoing efforts to build the best map of the world.” He also notes that “nothing practical will change,” with the company, now pushing 50 million users, “will maintain our community, brand, service and organization. ”He also raises the subject of why Waze decided to sell. Bardin says that it was motivated by the fact that an IPO appeared the route that would take the company more into being focused on returns and less on growing as a product for users. “ Choosing the path of an IPO often shifts attention to bankers, lawyers and the happiness of Wall Street, and we decided we’d rather spend our time with you, the Waze community.” Of course, the burden of getting a return on the investment now become’s Google’s, but as you can see below there are a number of reasons why it would buy Waze, anyway. [ original post continues below]Update 2: Israeli tech blog Geek Time also confirms our $1.1 billion figure, “of which $1.03B will be transferred in cash directly to the company and its stockholders."

"text": "Sony Xperia XZ Premium, Xperia XZs announced: Everything you need to know Newsby Ankit Banerjee February 27, 2017 4KSony’s struggles in the ultra competitive smartphone space is well documented at this point, with the company failing to find any sort of traction in the worldwide markets that matter. It’s sometimes difficult to gauge what the reasons for this steady decline may be, but a lack of effort isn’t one of them, with Sony continuing to push out solid, impressive flagship devices that are noteworthy. Will the latest high-end smartphones that the company just unveiled here at MWC 2017 be what Sony needs to once more gain a foothold in the smartphone world? Here’s everything you need to know about the Sony Xperia XZ Premium and Xperia XZs!Sony Xperia XZ Premium and Xperia XZs design and build Sony refreshed their flagship design language and build last year with the introduction of the Xperia XZ at IFA 2016, and given that these new models share the name with the previous flagship, it’s not surprising that they share the design language as well. Both the Xperia XZ Premium and Xperia XZs feature what Sony calls a loop design, with sides that are rounded and taper towards the front and back, and a flat top and bottom on which the phones can stand up straight. The Xperia XZ Premium is the taller and wider, but ever so slightly thinner, of the two, as a result of its larger 5.5-inch display, compared to the 5.2-inch screen of the Xperia XZs. Apart from the size, the differences continue in the build as well. The Xperia XZs retains the build materials and quality of its predecessor, the XZ, with its metal backplate, plastic along the sides, and glass up front. On the other hand, the Xperia XZ Premium heralds a return to Sony’s build quality choices of old, with it coming with a metal frame that is sandwiched between Corning Gorilla Glass 5 panels. One more difference is that while the laser-guided auto focus system and flash on the Xperia XZs is in a vertical position below the camera unit, it moves to a horizontal orientation with the Premium."

But what's really unique about the app is its social layer: Waze's active community of users share real-time traffic and road information. That means it gives you a heads-up about reported obstacles on your route (e.g. road closures, accidents, police traps), and can then redirect you to your destination. Waze also learns the routes that users prefer to take towards frequent destinations, while also finding the cheapest gas station along the way. Users have to option to report information via hands-free voice control, which is activated by waving your hand in front of your smartphone screen (and initiating the phone's proximity sensor). Saying prompts such as \"\"report traffic\"\" triggers the app to provide alerts on traffic flow.

"text": "\"Apple has delivered i OS 7.1 yesterday, its first major i OS update since the software’s launch nearly six months ago. We’ve already detailed some of the noteworthy enhancements like Touch ID reliability improvements, new Siri features, Car Play support, a bunch of bug fixes – some of which have been credited to prominent i OS hackers like the evad3rs team – and more. According to developer Mike Piontek, Maps in i OS 7.1 includes a poorly labeled new feature called HFP Prompts which allows the app to play navigation prompts over your car’s speakers, via Bluetooth, even when the i Phone is not selected as the audio source. It’s a great addition to Apple’s in-car initiative because no longer do you have to fiddle with audio settings as HFP Prompts automatically does the right thing for you. Jump past the fold for the full breakdown…The switch to enable HFP Prompts is available in the Maps app, but only if you’re connected to your car’s stereo via Bluetooth. Simply open Maps start a route and tap the audio button in the bottom right. A panel will pop up with Volume settings for Navigation Voice and the Output section with the HFP Prompts switch right below. As can be seen on the below screenshot, you can choose between listening to your navigation prompts on the device itself or route audio through your in-car’s Bluetooth stereo. Again, you have to be connected to Bluetooth and navigating or else HFP Prompts won’t be available. The feature is dependent on your car’s model and its software support."

"text": "What can I do with a QR Code? We hear about QR Codes all the time, see them everywhere around us. But many people still aren’t aware of what they actually do or why it should be worthwhile for them to scan them. So what do they actually do? QR Codes are most commonly used to direct their scanners to a specific website, but contrary to general opinion that this is their only function, they have a variety of possible uses. QR Codes can be used to open a location on a map and direct you to it using Waze, to open a Facebook, Twitter or Linked In profile page automatically, to share a link or text via all social networks mentioned above, and even call a number using Skype. Other capabilities include directing a scanner to a You Tube video, to a page containing text, opening a “compose email” box that is addressed to a certain address and directing the scanner to a desired application in the app store that is suitable for their smartphone. As you can see, QR Codes are incredible versatile and helpful tools for advertising your product or company in an innovative, accessible way. The different possibilities in which they can be used are endless – and the opportunities for creativity and an individualistic, striking approach are inspiring. Having trouble deciding what kind of QR Code suits your needs best?"

Posted on April 9, 2014Solar power can get you some solar gains to reduce your electricity bill without costing you anything while helping to save the planet. Reddit Tweet Share Share Email Comments Solar Gains Even with crazy electricity prices in Massachusetts, driving a Tesla is 38% of the cost of driving a gas-powered vehicle. But unlike oil and gasoline, you can generate your own power through renewable solar energy. After ordering my Tesla Model S I started looking into solar panels for my home. I only looked at a single provider, Solar City, for a couple of reasons. First, Solar City is dominating the solar residential market with over 19% in market share. Second, it’s associated with Elon Musk and without him I wouldn’t even have the Tesla. I didn’t know much about Solar City’s business model or approach – I simply filled out a contact form online and took it from there. Solar City Consultation & On-Site Evaluation The process starts with a qualification call with a Solar City sales person to. They ask whether you own your home, what your electric usage is like, if you have a condo association and a few other random questions."

"text": "Is a Snapchat IPO Coming? Jay Taylor December 02, 2014 at 15:59 Stock Market Today A minor hubbub on Twitter (Nasdaq: TWTR) last week ignited speculation that Twitter was going to buy Snapchat. I tried to put that speculation to rest by pointing out that Snapchat’s most recent valuation of $10 billion makes it 40% of Twitter’s entire market capitalization. Put simply, Snapchat is just too big for Twitter to buy. In fact, I see a Snapchat IPO as the logical next step for the social messaging company. With a recent round of funding raising the company’s valuation to $10 billion, it seems only a matter of time before investors start itching for an IPO so they can cash out. You might be wondering what Snapchat even does. Snapchat is a social messaging app through which users send messages to each other that disappear after a short period of time. As of August the service had 100 million monthly active users and, as of July, 71% of its users were under the age of 25. In February it was reported that 77% of college students use Snapchat daily."

Partner By Kenny Malone • Dec 5, 2014Tweet Share Google+ Email Listen Listening...4:30Listen to the radio story here, including a segment on how Waze emerged heroic from California's \"\"Carmageddon. \"\" Earlier this year the Florida Department of Transportation entered into a partnership with the traffic data company Waze. The Israeli startup, now owned by Google, lets “Wazers” use a smartphone app to report the location of crashes, congestion, potholes, road kill and police officers among many other things. The agreement is purely a “data-sharing” partnership. Waze gets access to the stream of information produced by the road sensors FDOT uses to monitor traffic flow on Florida’s major highways. And FDOT gets access to the myriad reports filed by Wazers. “Even the wealthiest states or cities, they can afford sensors in the roads, but they’re really reserved for the main roads,” says Di-Ann Eisnor, head of growth for Waze. Instead of in-road sensors, Waze uses a smartphone’s GPS to produce an army of roaming surveyors, perpetually measuring traffic flow and reporting back. By getting a data-dump from Waze every couple of minutes, FDOT will now be able to check in on roads it couldn’t afford to cover with sensors, like US-1, SR 441 and Tamiami Trail, says Russell Allen, who works on FDOT’s Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) team. ( For its part, Waze says FDOT’s data immediately increased its quality in Florida by 10 percent. )"

Terms & Conditions cuts out the legal lingo to spell it out in plain English. When it comes to GPS apps, Waze has it made. The Israeli-born app provides users with continuously updated map information thanks to its unique data-sharing setup: Users are awarded points for allowing the app to track their commute, or for manually entering travel information, like accidents, traffic conditions, weather, and speed traps, all of which can be viewed by other users. Waze even partnered with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Google in the days after Hurricane Sandy to help identify gas stations that had run out of gas. And this past week, Waze launched version 3.6 for i OS and Android to allow users to report fully closed roads. Most anyone who’s used the app will tell you, Waze just works – a prime example of mobile tech and user-generated data coming together to create something new and improved. But tech like this comes with it’s own complications – by using Waze, you are revealing a lot of information about yourself to a whole slew of parties. Because of that, it’s important to understand what information Waze collects, and how it uses that information. Terms of service Waze kicks off its terms with an outline of the “key points,” which is something we like to see here at T&C, as it ups the chances that people actually read a bit about what they’re getting themselves into."

Google acquired the Israeli startup last year for nearly $1 billion, and since then it’s made good use of the company’s crowd-sourced data. Now, Google Maps is rolling out a new-Waze powered feature: the ability to change your route mid-trip based on real-time traffic updates. Google announced the latest update—available on i OS and Android—this morning, using the official Google+ account for its mapping service. The feature, and others from Waze, has been rolling out slowly since the company was acquired in Aug. 2013, but the Internet giant officially introduced it to everyone today, offering up the ability to “outsmart traffic and save time on the road. ”While Google Maps has gotten a clear boost from Waze, the crowd-sourced app still operates as a stand-alone service out of its Israeli offices. It’s unclear if Google will eventually merge Waze completely into its own mapping service, though for now it’s likely to keep the smaller app running separately.

Slim praises Lennie for his incredible work ethic, which leads George to talk about his past with Lennie. The two grew up as neighbors and George took Lennie as a travel and work companion when Lennie's Aunt Clara died. George says that when he first began traveling with Lennie he found it funny to play pranks on him. One day he ordered Lennie to jump in a river even though he couldn't swim and Lennie unthinkingly obeyed. After George fished him out, Lennie was completely grateful, having forgotten that George had ordered him into the river in the first place. After this episode, George decided against having fun at Lennie's expense. At Slim's insistence, George tells about the episode in Weed that led them to seek work elsewhere."

"text": "\"Life of a migrant worker in of mice and men Extracts from this document... Introduction Life of a migrant worker in of mice and men This novella, written by John Steinbeck, is a story about two migrant workers, George Milton and Lennie Small. They travel around with each other, during the Depression, looking for work. In the first chapter, George and Lennie are portrayed like tramps, who wander the streets looking for a place to live and work. They get both of these as the agency 'Murray and Ready's' find them work at 'Buck Barley'. George is very dependant on Lennie throughout the book, as George is mentally immature. They both, however, rely on each other for companionship, as they travel around together, and they need someone to talk to in the ranch. Lennie does say, though, in section one, how he could've had a girlfriend, and go into town to spend his wages every month. The story is set on a ranch, where the two men eventually find work at 'Buck Barley'. Many people, during the Depression, migrated to states like California in search of work on farms and ranches. This is what George and Lennie did, but we later find out exactly why they come to California. ..."

Lenny's skills as a vocalist were first nurtured by singing in gospel choirs and groups around the Bay Area. He was in good company working alongside up-and-coming artist Sly Stone, Andre Crouch, Billy Preston and members of the Hawkins family, Edwin, Walter and Tremaine. After winning several local talent contests, Williams signed his first record deal with Fantasy records. He cut two singles for the label including \"\"Lisa's Gone\"\", now regarded as an R & B classic among British soul music lovers, and \"\"Feelin Blue\"\", written by John Fogerty of Credence Clearwater Revival. Lenny then spent a brief spell with Atlantic Records before deciding to put his solo career on hold in 1972, when he joined the emerging funk band Tower of Power. A string of hits ensued, including \"\" So Very Hard To Go', and \"\"Don't Change Horses (In The Middle Of The Stream)\"\", written by Lenny and Johnny \"\"Guitar\"\" Watson. During his two years with the group, Lenny participated in three milestone albums, the gold LP Tower Of Power, Back To Oakland, and Urban Renewal, while touring non-stop throughout the United States, Europe and Asia. At the end of 1975 Lenny returned to his solo projects."

I always avoided it at the video store because of the name, I assumed it must be about a little kid, something like The Champ or Lucas, nothing wrong with those kinds of movies, just not my cup of tea. But I happened to read about it in one of Leonard Maltins books, he called it one of the best comedies of the 70s, and very dark for it's time. So I rented it and loved it. I think it's pretty dark even by todays standards, Charles Grodins character is likeable in an odd way, but he's also two faced and deceitful, not to mention downright cruel to his new bride. I don't know of many actors that could have played this better than Charles Grodin, this was certainly his best role. In his biography he wrote that he recognizes the brilliance of the film, but he hated playing such a cruel character. The thing is, the character never intends to be cruel, he just can't seem to help it, lying and selfishness are just second nature to him. If your like me, you'll find yourself laughing and cringing at the same time. The ending is just perfection, he has seemingly attained what he wanted, the thing that he has lied and cheated and hurt other people to get, yet he seems to already be tired of it and longing for what he already had."

"text": "Two migrant workers, George and Lennie, have been let off a bus miles away from the California farm where they are due to start work. George is a small, dark man with “sharp, strong features.” Lennie, his companion, is his opposite, a giant of a man with a “shapeless” face. Overcome with thirst, the two stop in a clearing by a pool and decide to camp for the night. As the two converse, it becomes clear that Lennie has a mild mental disability, and is deeply devoted to George and dependent upon him for protection and guidance. George finds that Lennie, who loves petting soft things but often accidentally kills them, has been carrying and stroking a dead mouse. George angrily throws it away, fearing that Lennie might catch a disease from the dead animal. George complains loudly that his life would be easier without having to care for Lennie, but the reader senses that their friendship and devotion is mutual. He and Lennie share a dream of buying their own piece of land, farming it, and, much to Lennie’s delight, keeping rabbits. George ends the night by treating Lennie to the story he often tells him about what life will be like in such an idyllic place."

A heron stands in a shaded green pool, eating water snakes that glide between its legs. Lennie comes stealing through the undergrowth and kneels by the water to drink. He is proud of himself for remembering to come here to wait for George , but soon has two unpleasant visions. His Aunt Clara appears “from out of Lennie’s head” and berates him, speaking in Lennie’s own voice, for not listening to George, for getting himself into trouble, and for causing so many problems for his only friend. Then a gigantic rabbit appears to him, also speaking in Lennie’s own voice, and tells him that George will probably beat him and abandon him. Just then, George appears. He is uncommonly quiet and listless. He does not berate Lennie. Even when Lennie himself insists on it, George’s tirade is unconvincing and scripted."

The two men share a vision of a farm that they will own together, a vision that Lennie believes in wholeheartedly. Gentle and kind, Lennie nevertheless does not understand his own strength.

George - A small, wiry, quick-witted man who travels with, and cares for, Lennie. Although he frequently speaks of how much better his life would be without his caretaking responsibilities, George is obviously devoted to Lennie. George’s behavior is motivated by the desire to protect Lennie and, eventually, deliver them both to the farm of their dreams. Though George is the source of the often-told story of life on their future farm, it is Lennie’s childlike faith that enables George to actually believe his account of their future."

Well, now it´s time to do a list of the nicknames and aliases that Gus and Shawn have on the episodes of the show. As you fans all know, Shawn usually introduces Burton “Gus” Guster by a different name each time, and sometimes he even changes his own name to an alias or nickname. And for all of those who asked… I did the complete List of Gus Don´t Be Quotes and the Complete List of I´ve Heard it Both Ways!Recently we had the chance to participate in an interview with Psych Stars Dule Hill and James Roday, and they talked about Aliases and Nicknames: Dule Hill: For myself it’s always been the one I think from Season 1, which may have been the first or second episode, where he called me Gus “Silly-Pants” Jackson. You know, I – because when he first threw that out it kind of caught me off guard first of all because I believe that was one that was just off the top of his head. And it cracked me up. I just thought it was a hilarious thing. And, you know, we’re big fans of Stoney Jackson over here Stoney and the Silly-Pants, you know. James Roday: …kicked it all off. So I think it’s always going to be special for us since everything sort of sprang from that."

Add to 6,449 views Like this lesson Share In this lesson you will learn what a motif is and how the four motifs of loneliness, the dream ranch, the river setting, and animal imagery in 'Of Mice and Men' work to unify the novella and advance the themes. What Is a Motif? Have you ever read a novel and wondered why the author continued to bring up a certain image or idea? The author is most likely unifying the work by his or her use of motif. A motif is a recurring idea, image, or object in a literary work that creates unity in the story and helps to point readers toward themes. Motif can usually be expressed in a single word or phrase. There are several motifs in John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men that unify the story and help realize the themes. The major motifs are loneliness, the dream ranch, the river setting, and animal imagery. Loneliness Loneliness is very much a part of a migrant worker's life in the novella Of Mice and Men."

Prior to writing Of Mice and Men, he was, like the characters in his novel, a bindlestiff —a wandering laborer (sometimes called a hobo) who carried his bag of possessions (“bindle”) with him. Steinbeck saw the promise of the Salinas River Valley, and he also saw firsthand how California was not the paradise that adventurers and fortune-seekers hoped and dreamed it would be.

In both cases, Slim viewed the deaths as mercy killings. The last similarity was that both Candy and George felt lonely after the death of their companions.

Di Caprio has gone from relatively humble beginnings, as a supporting cast member of the sitcom Growing Pains (1985) and low budget horror movies, such as Critters 3 (1991), to a major teenage heartthrob in the 1990s, as the hunky lead actor in movies such as Romeo + Juliet (1996) and Titanic (1997), to then become a leading man in Hollywood blockbusters, made by internationally renowned directors such as Martin Scorsese and Christopher Nolan. Leonardo Wilhelm Di Caprio was born November 11, 1974 in Los Angeles, California, the only child of Irmelin Di Caprio (née Indenbirken) and former comic book artist George Di Caprio. His father is of Italian and German descent, and his mother, who is German-born, is of German and Russian ancestry. His middle name, \"\"Wilhelm\"\", was his maternal grandfather's first name. Leonardo's father had achieved minor status as an artist and distributor of cult comic book titles, and was even depicted in several issues of American Splendor, the cult semi-autobiographical comic book series by the late 'Harvey Pekar', a friend of George's. Leonardo's performance skills became obvious to his parents early on, and after signing him up with a talent agent who wanted Leonardo to perform under the stage name \"\"Lenny Williams\"\", Di Caprio began appearing on a number of television commercials and educational programs. Di Caprio began attracting the attention of producers, who cast him in small roles in a number of television series, such as Roseanne (1988) and The New Lassie (1989), but it wasn't until 1991 that Di Caprio made his film debut in Critters 3 (1991), a low-budget horror movie. While Critters 3 (1991) did little to help showcase Di Caprio's acting abilities, it did help him develop his show-reel, and attract the attention of the people behind the hit sitcom Growing Pains (1985), in which Leonardo was cast in the \"\"Cousin Oliver\"\" role of a young homeless boy who moves in with the Seavers. While Di Caprio's stint on Growing Pains (1985) was very short, as the sitcom was axed the year after he joined, it helped bring Di Caprio into the public's attention and, after the sitcom ended, Di Caprio began auditioning for roles in which he would get the chance to prove his acting chops."

In 1912, when Alfred Wegener proposed in print that Earth's continents floated on denser and more stable material below, he was openly ridiculed and even scorned by his colleagues. Not until several decades later did his ideas receive any acceptance. Today he stands as the forefather of modern plate tectonics because of his theory of continental drift. His widely accepted theory of land displacement holds that Earth's continents have been in motion throughout geologic time. Wegener believe that there was once a single supercontinent, which he called Pangea (or Pangaea). He said that Pangea broke apart millions of years ago to form two large continents. He called the one in the northern hemisphere Laurasia and the one in the southern hemisphere Gondwanaland. After a very long span of centuries, Wegener said, Laurasia split to form North America, most of Asia, Greenland, and a large section of Europe. Gondwanaland became Africa, South America, Australia, India, and Antarctica."

"text": "Chapter 1, Section 3Continental Drift In 1910, a young German scientist named Alfred Wegener ( vay guh nur) became curious about the relationship of the continents. He hypothesized that Earth’s continents had moved! Wegener’s hypothesis was that all the continents were once joined together in a single landmass and have since drifted apart. Wegener’s idea that the continents slowly moved over Earth’s surface became known as continental drift. Continental Drift According to Wegener, the continents drifted together to form the supercontinent Pangaea (pan jee uh). Pangaea means “all lands.” According to Wegener, Pangaea existed about 300 million years ago. This was the time when reptiles and winged insects first appeared. Tropical forests, which later formed coal deposits, covered large parts of Earth’s surface. For: Links on continental drift Visit: www."

"text": "\"When Continental Drift Was Considered Pseudoscience More than 100 years ago, a German scientist was ridiculed for advancing the shocking idea that the continents were adrift Alfred Wegener, in Greenland, c. 1930, was ridiculed as having “wandering pole plague.” ( Alfred Wegener Institute, Germany)By Richard Conniff Smithsonian Magazine | Subscribe June 2012Six seismologists and a civil servant, charged with manslaughter for failing to predict a 2009 earthquake that killed 308 people in the Apennine Mountain city of L’Aquila, in Italy, will serve six years in prison. The charge is remarkable partly because it assumes that scientists can now see not merely beneath the surface of the earth, but also into the future. What’s even more extraordinary, though, is that the prosecutors based their case on a scientific insight that was, not long ago, the object of open ridicule. [ Editor’s Note: The story was updated on October 22, 2012, to reflect the decision . ] It was a century ago this spring that a little-known German meteorologist named Alfred Wegener proposed that the continents had once been massed together in a single supercontinent and then gradually drifted apart. He was, of course, right. Continental drift and the more recent science of plate tectonics are now the bedrock of modern geology, helping to answer vital questions like where to find precious oil and mineral deposits, and how to keep San Francisco upright. But in Wegener’s day, geological thinking stood firmly on a solid earth where continents and oceans were permanent features. We like to imagine that knowledge advances fact upon dispassionate fact to reveal precise and irrefutable truths."

"text": "Science & Mathematics Earth Sciences & Geology What proof do we have of pangaea? Is carbon dating the best tool to use to unlock the past? Follow 2 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The idea that the continents might actually be moving has been around a long time. In fact, Wegener proposed an entire theory of continental drift in 1912. He suggested that the Earth’s continental crusts consisted of numerous “plates” of various sizes which were continuing to move over the Earth’s surface, and that about 200 million years ago, most of these had in fact formed, at least temporarily, a single gigantic land mass (which came to be called “Pangaea”). This “supercontinent” had since split up and slowly drifted apart. ( Prior to this, presumably, a number of smaller continental plates had come together to form “Pangaea” in the first place.) Considerable and diverse evidence was offered to support Wegener’s theory: geological evidence (based on rock strata); climatological evidence (related to glaciation patterns); and paleontological evidence (based on fossils of long extinct animals/plants). Still, Wegener’s theory was not taken very seriously because it included no mechanism to explain how such huge land masses might actually be caused to move. It has been proven that the Earth's present continents were once together as a Pangaea as seen from: Continental Coastlines Appearing To Fit Together One prominent example of continental coastline fitting together is to fit the coastline of the West Coast of Africa with the coastline East Coast of South America."

Alfred Wegener, starting in 1912, was the first scientist to discuss supercontinents seriously, as part of his theory of continental motion. He combined a body of new and old evidence to show that the Earth's continents had once been united in a single body, back in late Paleozoic time. At first he simply called it \"\"Urkontinent\"\" but soon gave it the name Pangaea (\"\"all Earth\"\"). Wegener's theory was the basis of today's plate tectonics. Once we had a grasp of how continents had moved in the past, scientists were quick to look for earlier Pangaeas. These were spotted as possibilities as early as 1962, and today we have settled on four.

People used to think that Earth was static, and that it never changed. Gradually, a body of evidence was gathered that made no sense in this model. Alfred Wegener, Geologic Supersleuth, laid the groundwork for a whole new theory for the large-scale changing nature of the earth. Background on the Ground Have you ever had the experience where you see a younger relative or friend after not seeing them for a few years, and you're taken aback at how much they have grown? We have an image in our minds as to what they looked like the last time we saw them, and they are much different. If the continents of the earth move and grow, why don't we notice that? Well, for two reasons. One, we really don't see what whole continents look like in real time, and two, they move so slowly that people die before any noticeable changes can take place. As far back as 1620, people often noticed that the coastlines of North and South America looked like they fit together with Europe and Africa."

Table of Contents Abstract Introduction Major work Resistance to Wegener Historical assessment Related websites Abstract Alfred Wegener was an accomplished German natural scientist in the fields of meteorology, astronomy, and geology. He was also a skilled balloonist and participated in three scientific expeditions to Greenland. His primary research interest was in the relatively new field of meteorology. He held several academic or research positions in Germany before taking the Chair of meteorology and geophysics at the University of Graz in Austria in 1924. Wegener's most notable scientific contribution was a unified theory for the origin of continents. His mobilist idea of drifting continents contrasted sharply with the contemporary view of fixed continents and a rigid, shrinking Earth. Wegener first presented his theory of continental drift in 1912 at a meeting of the German Geological Association. In 1915, he published his evidence and conclusions in a now-classic book, Die entstehung der kontinente und ozeane (The origin of continents and oceans)."

Humans knew there was a phenomenon, it remained shrouded in mysticism until the 1600s when scientists started digging deeper into theory. Building on the shoulders of giants, many scientists, inventors, and theorists worked together to collectively lead the charge for discovering electromagnetism. Ancient Observations Amber rubbed with fur attracts bits of dust and hairs that created static electricity. Ancient Greek philosopher, mathematician and scientist Thales' writings around 600 BC noted his experiments rubbing fur on various substances such as amber. The Greeks found that if they rubbed the amber for long enough they could even get an electric spark to jump.

What is surprising, however, is the enormous body of knowledge contained in the novel. The novel contains references to the fields of literature, poetry, science, education, politics, history, and mythology.

Through examination of biographical information and Mary Shelley’s journal entries, we will be able to answer this question. Following, I also plan to highlight Mary Shelley’s knowledge of literature with primary emphasis on the works studied by the monster in relation to his origins as well as Mary Shelley’s."

General Image Theory - Site Search at bottom v -Albert Einstein (1879-1955) developed a theory of the universe based on a 'spacetime continuum', somewhat like Descartes' earlier dead-matter mechanical push universe with its 'space ether'. Gravity was an integral part of Einstein's spacetime-continuum ether, and light and other electromagnetic signals somehow propagated through it at a constant speed - the speed of light. This relativity theory chiefly derived from the relativity of light signals conveying information to human observers and its apparent mathematics, though his theory failed to include any actual electromagnetic action despite Einstein trying in vain for many years to find a way to include it. His theory also never really included any fully defined mechanism for gravitational or any other action despite requiring such, but he never conceded that it was a poor physics and continued flogging his dead horse. Einstein did his science like Descartes, he sat-and-thought and he sold his thinking as being 'thought-experiment' which being based on mathematics was claimed to be logical and so necessarily-right or certain if basically a fiction-physics as 'thought' is basically the opposite of experiment-doing. But Einstein claimed that his theory was both consistent with Newton's physics and disproved Newton's physics, if on a quite wrong textbook view of Newton's physics as being the fake-Newton Cartesian corpuscular push-physics that Newton had disproved and not the Gilbertian action-at-distance signal-response physics that he actually favoured."

He is also a member of the Brotherhood of the Five. His best friends are Matt Donovan, Tyler Lockwood, and Bonnie Bennett, who was also his girlfriend. Following his resurrection in the Season Four finale, he moved into the Salvatore Boarding House with his sister and her boyfriend, Damon Salvatore since their house was burned down by Elena after Jeremy's death. However, he moved out of the boarding house halfway through Season Five and moved into the Lockwood Mansion with Matt and Tyler. Prior to the beginning of the series, his parents died in a tragic car accident that Elena managed to survive thanks to a vampire, Stefan Salvatore, who rescued her before she could drown. As a way of coping with the accident, he started dealing and using drugs, but soon stopped after the death of his first girlfriend, Vicki Donovan, who had supposedly died of an overdose."

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( March 2008) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Herbert F. Tucker: A Companion to Victorian Literature and Culture Victorian literature is literature, mainly written in English, during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837–1901) (the Victorian era ). It was preceded by Romanticism and followed by the Edwardian Era (1901-1910). While in the preceding Romantic period poetry had been the dominant genre, it was the novel that was most important in the Victorian period. Charles Dickens (1812–1870) dominated the first part of Victoria's reign: his first novel, Pickwick Papers, was published in 1836, and his last Our Mutual Friend between 1864–5. William Thackeray 's (1811–1863) most famous work Vanity Fair appeared in 1848, and the three Brontë sisters, Charlotte (1816–55), Emily (1818–48) and Anne (1820–49), also published significant works in the 1840s. A major later novel was George Eliot 's (1819–80) Middlemarch (1872), while the major novelist of the later part of Queen Victoria's reign was Thomas Hardy (1840–1928), whose first novel, Under the Greenwood Tree, appeared in 1872 and his last, Jude the Obscure, in 1895. Robert Browning (1812–89) and Alfred Tennyson (1809–92) were Victorian England's most famous poets, though more recent taste has tended to prefer the poetry of Thomas Hardy, who, though he wrote poetry throughout his life, did not publish a collection until 1898, as well as that of Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–89), whose poetry was published posthumously in 1918."

Less than two weeks before the Court was to convene, Congress resolved to let the Court use a room in the Capitol. The Court moved into the Old North Wing (image above), meeting in various rooms from February 1810 to December 1860. During the early years when construction displaced the Justices, they had to meet in nearby homes or taverns. Eventually the Court occupied a courtroom that had been especially designed for it in the basement beneath the new Senate chamber. When the Court moved upstairs in 1861, the old courtroom became the law library for both Congress and the Court, seen here in this c. 1895 photograph. The Supreme Court was housed in what is now called the restored Old Senate Chamber from 1861 to 1935. Although the chamber was more spacious and dignified than the basement one, there was no dining room (the Justices lunched in the robing room), and no individual office space for the Justices and their staff (the Justices often worked at home). Chief Justice William Howard Taft and the Associate Justices admired architect Cass Gilbert’s model for a new Supreme Court building in 1929. Taft had begun lobbying for a separate building as early as 1912, and redoubled his efforts when he became Chief Justice in 1921."

"text": "\"Gilbert Stuart Gilbert Stuart (1755-1828), American painter, was the classical portraitist of the early republic, painting likenesses that hovered between meticulous representations and idealized generalizations. He created the iconic image of George Washington as the Father of His Country. Gilbert Stuart was born in North Kingston, R. I., on Dec. 3, 1755. At the age of 13 or 14 he studied art with the Scottish painter Cosmo Alexander in Newport. With Alexander he made a tour of the South and a journey to Edinburgh, where Alexander died in 1772. For about a year Stuart remained, poverty-stricken, in Scotland, but finally, working as a sailor, he managed to get back to America. There he executed a few portraits in a hard limner fashion. With the Revolutionary War threatening, his family, who had Tory sympathies, fled to Nova Scotia, and Stuart sailed for London, where he remained from 1775 to 1787. For the first 4 or 5 years, Stuart served as the first assistant of American expatriate painter Benjamin West, who had rescued him from poverty. From the first, Stuart showed an interest only in portraiture and had no desire to go into the branch of history painting West practiced."

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."

The German authorities looked on without intervening. [ 1] [2] The name Kristallnacht comes from the shards of broken glass that littered the streets after the windows of Jewish-owned stores, buildings, and synagogues were smashed. Estimates of the number of fatalities caused by the pogrom have varied. Early reports estimated that 91 Jewish people were murdered during the attacks. [ 3] Modern analysis of German scholarly sources by historians such as Richard J. Evans puts the number much higher. When deaths from post-arrest maltreatment and subsequent suicides are included, the death toll climbs into the hundreds. Additionally, 30,000 Jewish men were arrested and incarcerated in concentration camps. [ 3]Jewish homes, hospitals, and schools were ransacked, as the attackers demolished buildings with sledgehammers. ["

Paranormal beliefs have been studied for centuries by many influential psychologists. Recently parapsychology has moved toward a more scientific methodology (Wooffitt, 1992), using questionnaires to study beliefs in the paranormal. However, these methods are problematic, as they oversimplify the subject of belief. Researchers (such as Lamont, 2007b; Potter and Wetherell, 1987) have argued that a discursive approach to the study of paranormal belief would be much more beneficial as this would allow us to examine the ways in which peoples’ expressions of belief are constructed, and what rhetorical functions these constructions serve."

The film's screenplay was written by Roald Dahl, and loosely based on Ian Fleming 's 1964 novel of the same name. It is the first James Bond film to discard most of Fleming's plot, using only a few characters and locations from the book as the background for an entirely new story. In the film, Bond is dispatched to Japan after American and Soviet manned spacecraft disappear mysteriously in orbit. With each nation blaming the other amidst the Cold War, Bond travels secretly to a remote Japanese island to find the perpetrators and comes face to face with Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the head of SPECTRE. The film reveals the appearance of Blofeld, who was previously a partially unseen character. SPECTRE is working for the government of an unnamed Asian power, implied to be the People's Republic of China, to provoke war between the superpowers. [ 1] [2]During the filming in Japan, it was announced that Sean Connery would retire from the role of Bond, but after a hiatus, he returned in 1971's Diamonds Are Forever and later 1983's non-Eon Bond film Never Say Never Again. You Only Live Twice is the first Bond film to be directed by Lewis Gilbert, who later directed the 1977 film The Spy Who Loved Me and the 1979 film Moonraker, both starring Roger Moore. You Only Live Twice was a great success, receiving positive reviews and grossing over $111 million in worldwide box office."

Gilbert Sir William Schwenck Gilbert [n 1] (18 November 1836 – 29 May 1911) was an English dramatist, librettist, poet and illustrator best known for the fourteen comic operas (known as the Savoy operas) produced in collaboration with the composer Arthur Sullivan. The most famous of these include H. M. S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance and one of the most frequently performed works in the history of musical theatre, The Mikado. [ 1] The popularity of these works was supported for over a century by year-round performances of them, in Britain and abroad, by the repertory company that they founded, the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company. Eleven of the Savoy operas continue to be frequently performed in the English-speaking world and beyond by opera companies, repertory companies, schools and community theatre groups. Lines from these works have become part of the English language, such as \"\" short, sharp shock \"\", \"\"What, never? Well, hardly ever! \"\", [ 2] and \"\"Let the punishment fit the crime\"\". [ n 2]Gilbert's creative output included over 75 plays and libretti, and numerous short stories, poems and lyrics, both comic and serious. After brief careers as a government clerk and a lawyer, Gilbert began to focus, in the 1860s, on writing light verse, including his Bab Ballads, short stories, theatre reviews and illustrations, often for Fun magazine. He also began to write burlesques and his first comic plays, developing a unique absurdist, inverted style that would later be known as his \"\"topsy-turvy\"\" style."

"text": "\"William Lloyd Garrison Facts William Lloyd Garrison Quotes William Lloyd Garrison (1805-1879), American editor, reformer, and antislavery crusader, became the symbol of the age of aggressive abolitionism. William Lloyd Garrison was born on Dec. 10, 1805, in Newburyport, Mass. His father deserted the family in 1808, and the three children were raised in near poverty by their mother, a hardworking, deeply religious woman. Young Garrison lived for a time in the home of a kindly Baptist deacon, where he received the bare rudiments of an education. He was later apprenticed to a shoemaker, a cabinetmaker, and finally to the printer and editor of the Newburyport Herald. Editor and Printer Garrison borrowed money in 1826 to buy part of the Newburyport Free Press; it soon failed. He worked as a printer in Boston and in 1827 helped edit a temperance paper, the National Philanthropist. Seeing life as an uncompromising moral crusade against sin, and believing it possible to perfect a Christian society by reforming men and institutions, Garrison fitted easily into the evangelical currents of his time. In 1828 a meeting with Benjamin Lundy, the Quaker antislavery editor of the Genius of Emancipation, called his attention to that cause. Since 1828 was a presidential election year, Garrison accepted editorship of a pro-Jackson newspaper in Vermont, in which he also supported pacifism, temperance, and the emancipation of slaves. After the election, Garrison accepted a position with Lundy on the Genius in Baltimore."

A leading historian challenges the new orthodoxy about how slavery ended in America James Oakes , Jacobin08.29.2012 • 2:41 PMThis article originally appeared on Jacobin. On 6 November 1860, the six-year-old Republican Party elected its first president. During the tense crisis months that followed – the “secession winter” of 1860–61 – practically all observers believed that Lincoln and the Republicans would begin attacking slavery as soon as they took power. Democrats in the North blamed the Republican Party for the entire sectional crisis. They accused Republicans of plotting to circumvent the Constitutional prohibition against direct federal attacks on slavery. Republicans would instead allegedly try to squeeze slavery to death indirectly, by abolishing it in the territories and in Washington DC, suppressing it in the high seas, and refusing federal enforcement of the Slave Laws. The first to succumb to the Republican program of “ultimate extinction,” Democrats charged, would be the border states where slavery was most vulnerable. For Northern Democrats, this is what caused the crisis; the Republicans were to blame for trying to get around the Constitution. Southern secessionists said almost exactly the same thing."

While most historians agree that conflicts over slavery caused the war, they disagree sharply regarding which kinds of conflict—ideological, economic, political, or social—were most important. [ 1]The primary catalyst for secession was slavery, especially Southern political leaders' resistance to attempts by Northern antislavery political forces to block the expansion of slavery into the western territories. Another explanation for secession, and the subsequent formation of the Confederacy, was white Southern nationalism. [ 2] The primary reason for the North to reject secession was to preserve the Union, a cause based on American nationalism. [ 3] Most of the debate is about the first question, as to why some southern states decided to secede. Abraham Lincoln won the 1860 presidential election without being on the ballot in ten Southern states."

Often called the antislavery movement, it sought to end theenslavement of Africans and people of African descent in Europe, the Americas, and Africa itself (see Slavery in Africa). It also aimed to end the Atlantic slave trade carried out in the Atlantic Ocean between Africa, Europe,and the Americas. The historical roots of abolitionism lay in black resistance to slavery. Suchresistance began during the 15th century as Africans enslaved by Europeansoften sought to kill their captors or themselves. By the late 1700s Christianmorality, new ideas about liberty and human rights that came about as aresult of the American and French revolutions, and economic changes led toan effort among blacks and whites to end human bondage. Those who employed slave labor in the Americas resisted abolitionist efforts. First, slaveholders believed that their economic prosperity demanded thecontinuation of slavery. In order to work the large plantations in the Americas, huge amounts of labor were required. African slaves were cheaperand more readily available than white indentured laborers from Europe, andbecause they already had some immunity to European diseases, Africanswere less likely to die from those diseases than were Native Americans."

"text": "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, Revisited Frederick Douglass circa 1874In September 1862, Abraham Lincoln gave notice that he intended to free the slaves held in states still in rebellion against the Union, a promise fulfilled by the Emancipation Proclamation issued on January 1, 1863. Lincoln himself remains the subject of scrutiny and celebration as the nation marks the 150 th anniversary of that major step toward the abolition of American slavery. With books on Lincoln from Harold Holzer, Louis P. Masur, John Burt, and George Kateb, Harvard University Press is certainly keeping pace. Still, there were many other powerful voices leading the country toward abolition, and none more prominent than Frederick Douglass, the escaped slave whose oral and written advocacy made him one of the era’s most visible social reformers. Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave, Written by Himself, appeared in 1845, the first of Douglass’s three autobiographies and likely the most famous American slave narrative ever published. The book found a wide transatlantic audience and went through many printings, but like most accounts of slave life it fell from favor as memory of the Civil War receded into myth and popular historical narratives tended toward reconciliation. The book eventually went out of print. In 1960 Harvard University Press published the first modern edition of the Narrative, edited and with an Introduction by Benjamin Quarles, a prolific and pioneering African American historian. Revisiting that Introduction today, we’re reminded of the adage that all history is a reflection of the age in which it’s written. The care Quarles takes to explain that Douglass did not hate white Americans; the tone with which he dismisses the majority of other slave narratives; his “admission” that Douglass “was not charitable to the slave-owning class”; the need he felt to rationalize Douglass’s disregard for “the property rights of the masters”; his focus on the verifiability of the details of Douglass’s story; the oddly bucolic, nearly Tom Sawyerish illustration selected for the cover of our earliest editions of the book—all of these deliberate concessions, perhaps jarring to today’s readers, are made more coherent if we recall that Quarles and HUP were reintroducing Frederick Douglass to a country in the midst of its greatest racial reordering since Douglass’s own time."

Others believed African Americans should be treated as citizens of America and therefore stay there and fight for full legal rights.

Still others thought that this would be a good opportunity for Americans to colonize Africa, spread Christianity and civilize the colonized regions.

"text": "\"Politics in Causes of the Civil War BACK NEXTA Log Cabin Whig Abraham Lincoln, the exalted Republican who led the war effort to preserve the American union, spent much of his political life as a member of another political party: the Whigs. As a young statesman, Lincoln closely followed his party's line. He believed that federal aid for industry, protective tariffs, and a national bank benefited western expansion and stimulated a modernizing society. His party, however, was sharply divided over the issue of slavery and its spread. Seems to be the theme of post-war America. Whigs, some of them wealthy Southern planters, others Northern merchants and industrialists, agreed only that \"\"liberty\"\" came from the economic opportunities that a prosperous nation offered to average (white) citizens, not from the abolition or limitation of bondage. Lincoln's party, however, never developed a clear response to the political crises that grew as a result of western expansion, abolitionist agitation, and the threat of slave insurrection. Lincoln himself displayed seemingly inconsistent views on these increasingly controversial topics. He refused to sympathize with defenders of slavery, convinced that the existence of the institution jeopardized freedom and justice for all Americans. But he also condemned those who broke the law in support of abolition, since he felt that this also compromised the principles of the republic."

We’ve all heard of Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman. Many other black women made important contributions to the abolitionist movement, too. But the collective efforts of black women had been largely ignored until scholarship in the late 20 th century. Though some black women abolitionists came from comfortable middle-class families, many others were working-class women relegated to the poorly paid jobs of laundress and domestic. The Forten family and Sarah Douglass were freeborn, but many others were former slaves. But, for all these women, abolition had a different and more personal meaning than it did for whites. Though black men welcomed them, says historian Shirley Yee, the expectation that they would play subsidiary roles confined to “women’s sphere” was no different than the expectations of white men abolitionists in regard to white women’s participation. Not surprisingly, both the white and the black women saw things differently than the men. Champions of Justice Black women were in the forefront of abolitionist lecturing and writing."

"text": "History Race and Class Slavery and the origins of the Civil War By James Illingworth Issue #78: Features Share IN DECEMBER 2010, a group of well-heeled South Carolinians gathered in Charleston for a “Secession Ball” to mark the sesquicentennial of their state’s exit from the Union. As partygoers strutted around in period costume—Confederate gray for the men and hoop skirts for the women—one speechmaker announced that the South had seceded “not to preserve the institution of slavery, not for glory or riches or honor, but for freedom alone.” 1Readers of the International Socialist Review might expect the Charleston elite to misrepresent or misunderstand the nature of the Civil War. But the elite are hardly alone. In fact, one hundred fifty years after it began, the Civil War remains one of the most misunderstood episodes in American history. Unfortunately, this is just as true on the left as it is on the right. In a recent Pew poll, 60 percent of Americans under the age of thirty identified states’ rights as a more important cause of the conflict than slavery. 2 These results are all the more disheartening when we take into account this generation’s generally progressive political leanings on other issues. The Pew findings are less surprising when we consider the confusion among even radical historians of the American Civil War. In his otherwise excellent People’s History of the Civil War, for example, David Williams suggests that the conflict had a negligible impact on American society. “"

"text": "\"Previous (Abnormal psychology) Next (Abortion)This poster depicting the horrific conditions on slave ships was influential in mobilizing public opinion against slavery in the United Kingdom and the United States. Abolitionism (from \"\"abolish\"\") was a political movement in late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that sought to end the practice of slavery and the worldwide slave trade. Its chief impetus came from Protestantism, as most abolitionists, especially in Great Britain and America, were men and women of profound Christian faith who took their convictions from the Gospel that all people are equal before God. It is, however, a cause for reflection that many people of religious conviction supported slavery, arguing that the Scriptures elevate some over others. The truth, self-evident, that all men are created equal, apparent to the framers of the U. S. Constitution, has not always been so self-evident for many humans throughout history, for whom slavery was a fact of life. The belief that some people are naturally “masters,” others “slaves” can be found in Aristotle (384–328 B. C. E. ), who wrote, “it is manifest that by nature some are free and others slaves and that service as a slave is for the latter the both beneficial and just.” [ 1]By the late nineteenth century the abolitionist movement had largely succeeded in its goals. The Slavery Convention of 1926, the United Nations Universal Declaration on Human Rights (1945) and the Convention on the Abolition of Slavery, the Slave Trade and Institutions and Practices Similar to Slavery (1957) establish slavery as a crime in international law and recognize that slavery contravenes basic human rights.

At the end of the Revolution, the new American nation was divided between the southern states whose economies were heavily dependent on slavery and northern states where slavery was legal but not economically important. Inspired by the language of the Declaration of Independence and the colonies’ struggle for freedom from the British, many Americans—including quite a few in the South—hoped that slavery could gradually be abolished in the United States. That dream was not to be realized. Instead, the South became increasingly committed to slave labor. A huge international market developed for cotton to feed the textile factories of Great Britain and the American North. The South tried to meet this demand by using slave labor on a growing scale. Slavery became increasingly identified with southern prosperity, the safety of white southern people and institutions, and a distinctive southern way of life. In the states of the North, on the other hand, slavery came under successful attack. In the states north of Maryland, slavery was either gone or being ended by 1820."

Parks, a longtime friend of Abraham Lincoln. 1 Contemporary Robert H. Browne recalled Abraham Lincoln telling him in 1854: “The slavery question often bothered me as far back as 1836-40. I was troubled and grieved over it; but the after the annexation of Texas I gave it up, believing as I now do, that God will settle it, and settle it right, and that he will, in some inscrutable way, restrict the spread of so great an evil; but for the present it is our duty to wait.” 2Browne came to know Mr. Lincoln as a teenage assistant in the Bloomington law office of David Davis and Asahel Gridley. “ One evening as I sat and talked with him in the office, in order to answer his question as to what was the groundwork on my belief on slavery, I told him what I knew and has seen of it in the mild slaveholding city of St. Louis, and what my father knew about it for several years.” Browne recalled that he “talked an hour, with frequent questions interspersed by Mr. Lincoln, who was deeply interested in every fact and feature of this slavery business in the city of St. Louis, as we saw and understood it for so many years. When I had finished, he was in deep and profound study, and I thought perhaps he had fallen asleep. I said, in the usual way, not louder than ordinary conversation, ‘Mr. Lincoln, do you wonder that my father and myself were Abolitionists, or do you doubt our sincerity?’ This disclosed that he had not been asleep, but in deep thought. He sat firm, with not so much as a muscle of his face relaxed, as he had done through much of my recital."

"text": "William Mc Kinley Share: William Mc Kinley was the 25th President of the United States, serving from March 4, 1897, until his assassination on September 14, 1901, after leading the nation to victory in the Spanish-American War and raising protective tariffs to promote American industry. At the 1896 Republican Convention, in time of depression, the wealthy Cleveland businessman Marcus Alonzo Hanna ensured the nomination of his friend William Mc Kinley as “the advance agent of prosperity.” The Democrats, advocating the “free and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold”–which would have mildly inflated the currency–nominated William Jennings Bryan. While Hanna used large contributions from eastern Republicans frightened by Bryan’s views on silver, Mc Kinley met delegations on his front porch in Canton, Ohio. He won by the largest majority of popular votes since 1872. Born in Niles, Ohio, in 1843, Mc Kinley briefly attended Allegheny College, and was teaching in a country school when the Civil War broke out. Enlisting as a private in the Union Army, he was mustered out at the end of the war as a brevet major of volunteers. He studied law, opened an office in Canton, Ohio, and married Ida Saxton, daughter of a local banker. At 34, Mc Kinley won a seat in Congress. His attractive personality, exemplary character, and quick intelligence enabled him to rise rapidly."

We want no wars of conquest; we must avoid the temptation of territorial aggression. War should never be entered upon until every agency of peace has failed; peace is preferable to war in almost every contingency. First Inaugural Address Overview For a long time, William Mc Kinley was considered a mediocre President, a chief executive who was controlled by his political cronies and who was pressured into war with Spain by the press. Recent historians have been kinder to Mc Kinley, seeing him instead as a decisive President who put America on the road to world power. Mc Kinley's difficult foreign policy decisions, especially his policy toward China and his decision to go to war with Spain over Cuban independence, helped the U.

The announcement came as Obama prepared to open a three-day visit to Alaska aimed at infusing fresh urgency into his call to action on climate change. To the dismay of some Alaska Republicans, the White House has choreographed the trip to showcase melting glaciers and other cherished natural wonders in Alaska that Obama says are threatened by warmer temperatures. But Obama's visit is also geared toward displaying solidarity with Alaska Natives, who face immense economic challenges and have warned of insufficient help from the federal government. As his first stop after arriving in Anchorage on Monday, Obama planned to hold a listening session with Alaska Natives. The president was also expected to announce new steps to help Alaska Native communities on Wednesday when he becomes the first sitting president to visit the Alaska Arctic."

"text": "1901: The assassination of President William Mc Kinley An account of assassination of the President of the United States, William Mc Kinley, by young Detroit-born anarchist, Leon Czolgosz. At the beginning of the 20th Century, anarchists were in the middle of what was known as the ‘Propaganda by the Deed’ period. The idea was that by killing members of the ruling order, not only would the ‘fear of God’ be put into them but that it would eventually inspire the masses into rising up against their masters. This tactic was put into practice repeatedly in Russia and on 29th July in Italy, King Humbert I was assassinated. After Humbert’s assassination, rumours were spread about the possibility of a world-wide anarchist plot to kill world leaders, of which America’s President William Mc Kinley was thought to be a target. Of course, in the end, no plot could be unearthed but nonetheless, the fear factory had started production. There’s no smoke without fire after all, is there? Mc Kinley certainly accomplished a lot in his time in politics. Serving in the Union Army during the Civil War, he entered Congress as a Republican in 1872. His policies were always very conservative and Mc Kinley soon attracted the support of powerful financier and politician Marcus Hanna who secured him the Republican Presidential nomination in 1896."

"text": "Obama Renames Mount Mc Kinley ‘Denali’The Associated Pressby Ben Shapiro 31 Aug 2015 4859On Sunday, President Obama’s administration announced that he would, by executive order, change the name of Mount Mc Kinley to Mount Denali. He did not explain the decision, which frustrated Ohio legislators upset at the slap at President William Mc Kinley’s legacy; he is expected to speak on the topic today in Anchorage. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) thanked Obama, however, stating, “For centuries, Alaskans have known this majestic mountain as the ‘Great One.’ Today we are honored to be able to officially recognize the mountain as Denali. ”Why did Obama choose to change the name now? Presumably because Obama has now solved all the world’s problems, and decided against his second choice, Mt. Trayvon. But more seriously, Obama likely opposes the legacy of President Mc Kinley, given that Mc Kinley led America to victory in the Spanish-American War and rejected inflation by sticking with the gold standard. By the end of Mc Kinley’s tenure, the United States had taken military control of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Philippines, and annexed Hawaii. Assassinated in 1901, Mc Kinley, who presided over an economic boom and massive growth in American power, once stated, “We need Hawaii just as much and a good deal more than we did California. It is manifest destiny.”"

It was a blatant act of plunder perpetrated by a gang of robbers against a helpless, prostrate and bleeding Germany. The proceedings at Versailles are highly enlightening because they reveal the inner workings of imperialist diplomacy, the crude reality of power politics and the material interests that lurk behind the flowery phrases about Liberty, Humanitarianism, Pacifism and Democracy.90 years ago the representatives of the triumphant imperialist powers gathered in Paris to determine the fate of the entire world. The Treaty of Versailles formally ended the state of war between Germany and the Allied Powers (also known as the Entente). It took six months of wrangling at the Paris Peace Conference to conclude the peace treaty. It was finally signed on 28 June 1919, exactly five years after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The Versailles Treaty was one of the most outrageous and predatory treaties in history. It was a blatant act of plunder perpetrated by a gang of robbers against a helpless, prostrate and bleeding Germany. Among its numerous provisions, it required Germany and its allies to accept full responsibility for causing the war and, under the terms of articles 231–248, to disarm, make substantial territorial concessions and pay reparations to the Entente powers.

Progressive, that is, reform-minded, political leaders sought to extend their vision of a just and rational order to all areas of society and some, indeed, to all reaches of the globe. America Looks Outward. During the 1890s, U. S. foreign policy became aggressively activist. As American industrial productivity grew, many reformers urged the need for foreign markets. Others held that the United States had a mission to carry Anglo-Saxon culture to all of humankind, to spread law and order and American civilization. In 1895 the United States intervened bluntly in the Venezuela Boundary Dispute between Venezuela and imperial Britain, warning that, under the Monroe Doctrine, American force might be used if Venezuela were not treated equitably. A Cuban revolution against Spain, begun in 1895, finally led to the Spanish-American War (1898), undertaken to free Cuba. From that war the United States emerged with a protectorate over Cuba and an island empire consisting of the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Guam. The United States also annexed the Hawaii in 1898, completing a bridge to the markets of the Far East."

Platt Amendment, 1901 was an amendment to a joint resolution of the United States Congress, replacing the earlier Teller Amendment. [ 1] It stipulated the conditions for the withdrawal of United States troops remaining in Cuba at the end of the Spanish-American War and defined the terms of Cuban-U. S. relations until the 1934 Treaty of Relations. The Amendment ensured U. S. involvement in Cuban affairs and gave legal standing (in U. S. law) to U.

Learning Objectives Summarize the 1908 presidential election Key Takeaways Key Points The Democrats nominated William Jennings Bryan, who remained popular among liberals and populists. Taft took support from his Democratic opponent William Jennings Bryan by endorsing some of his policies, which combined with Roosevelt’s Progressive record, blurred the distinction between the two parties, leading to Taft’s victory. Despite running a vigorous campaign against the nation’s business elite, Bryan suffered the worst loss of his three presidential campaigns. Republicans used the slogan, “Vote for Taft now, you can vote for Bryan anytime,” a sarcastic reference to Bryan’s two failed previous presidential campaigns. Key Terms William Howard Taft: The 27th president of the United States who was defeated for reelection by Woodrow Wilson in 1912 after Roosevelt split the Republican vote by running as a third-party candidate. William Jennings Bryan: A leading American politician who was a dominant force in the liberal wing of the Democratic Party, and served as Wilson’s secretary of state until his resignation in frustration over Wilson’s war efforts. He lost to William Taft in the election of 1908. Theodore Roosevelt: The 26th president of the United States of America (1901–1909), noted for his exuberant personality and leadership of the Progressive movement.

Look, I'm a fan of his, and the way a delusional 1/3 of the population talks about him being one of the worst presidents is crazy. But \"\"One of the Best Presidents\"\" puts him in very elite territory. I would personally confine that phrase to the first 5*. 6-9 have presidents that were close to the top, however they fell short because of one or two noticeable problems with their tenure (Eisenhower with the run-up of the Military Industrial Complex, LBJ getting us into Vietnam, Truman dropping the bomb, Wilson failing to get the US into the League of Nations. 10-15 have noticeable problems but get rated this highly because of the good feelings the nation experienced in their tenure. 16+ Once the first 15 are passed by, you get presidents that were solid caretakers of the nations, but did little to stand out (i.e Grover Cleveland or Chester Arthur). Or Presidents that did some good for America, but had overwhelming negatives (George HW Bush starting the US vs. Middle Eastern Wars or John Adams with the Alien and Sedition acts)Abraham Lincoln George Washington Franklin Delano Roosevelt Thomas Jefferson Teddy Roosevelt Woodrow Wilson Dwight David Eisenhower Harry Truman Lyndon B Johnson James Monroe James Madison Bill Clinton John F Kennedy Andrew Jackson Ronald Reagan Now Obama, on the merits of the Iran Nuclear Deal and the Affordable Healthcare Act has some claim to push past the Presidents who get up here primarily because of a robust economy and good will. If there was any cooperation in the Congress, he could have been be higher. And the obstruction he faced, coupled with inheriting what could not be, by any of stretch of the imagination, any better than the second worst situation in Presidential History (Possibly the worst, but FDR's First Term with the Depression merits consideration), what he has done has been pretty incredible."

Involving diplomats from 32 countries and nationalities, the major or main decisions were the creation of the League of Nations, as well as the five peace treaties with the defeated states; the awarding of German and Ottoman overseas possessions as \"\" mandates \"\", chiefly to Britain and France; reparations imposed on Germany; and the drawing of new national boundaries (sometimes with plebiscites) to better reflect ethnic boundaries. The main result was the Treaty of Versailles with Germany, which in section 231 laid the guilt for the war on \"\"the aggression of Germany and her allies\"\". This provision proved humiliating for Germany and set the stage for the expensive reparations Germany was intended to pay (it paid only a small portion before reparations ended in 1931). The five major powers ( France, Britain, Italy, Japan and the United States of America) controlled the Conference. And the \"\"Big Four\"\" were the Prime Minister of France, Georges Clemenceau; the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, David Lloyd George; the President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson; and the Prime Minister of Italy, Vittorio Emanuele Orlando. They met together informally 145 times and made all the major decisions, which in turn were ratified by the others. [ 1] The conference began on January 18, 1919 and with respect to its end date Professor Michael Neiberg has noted: Although the senior statesmen stopped working personally on the conference in June 1919, the formal peace process did not really end until July 1923, when the Treaty of Lausanne was signed\"\".

Wilson’s accomplishments have been re-evaluated with the passage of time and with changes in the United States. His visionary internationalism and domestic legislative record are juxtaposed with his views and actions on racial issues and Women’s Suffrage. His full record includes:- Served two terms as the 28th President of the United States, including leading the country’s participation in World War I as commander-in-chief- Was awarded Nobel Peace Prize - 1919- Issued principles for peace, the Fourteen Points, and participated in the Paris Peace Talks, promoting the establishment of the League of Nations- Led for Congressional passage of:o Federal Reserve Acto Federal Trade Commission Acto Clayton Antitrust Acto Federal Farm Loan Acto Espionage Act of 1917o Sedition Act of 1918- Oversaw implementation of the Revenue Act of 1913 establishing the federal income tax- Racially segregated the U. S. federal government and oversaw the expansion of Jim Crow segregation measures in the District of Columbia- At first delayed a nationwide constitutional amendment granting Women’s Suffrage, although later, in 1919, he appealed directly to the U. S. House of Representatives to pass the amendment- Held the first presidential press conference- Dispatched the U. S. Army to occupy Vera Cruz during the Mexican Revolution- Served as 34th governor of New Jersey- Served as the 13th president of Princeton University- Earned Ph. D. in political science from Johns Hopkins University, completing a dissertation titled Congressional Government: A Study in American Politics. Wilson was born in 1856 in Staunton, Virginia (and named Thomas Woodrow Wilson). He grew up in Georgia and South Carolina during the suffering of the Civil War and its aftermath. He was also deeply influenced by the Presbyterianism of his father, a minister and sometime college teacher. Wilson first went to Davidson (N. C.) College, but withdrew after a year. He ultimately graduated from the College of New Jersey (later to become Princeton University) in 1879. He then studied law for a year at the University of Virginia in 1879-80 and was admitted to the Georgia bar in 1882, but law practice did not suit his interests."

According to the Constitution, the President must be: A \"\"natural born citizen.\"\" A naturalized citizen may become a member of Congress, a federal judge, or a cabinet member, but is not eligible to serve as president or vice president. The Constitution also allowed someone who was a citizen at the time the Constitution was adopted to become President, and it was not until Martin Van Buren became President in 1837 that we had a President who had been born a citizen of the United States. However, George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, and Andrew Jackson were all born on territory that is now part of the United States. Thirty five years of age or older. Resident of the United States for fourteen years or longer. According to the Twenty-Second Amendment, the president may serve only two terms. The Twenty-Second Amendment was the result of President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) being elected to four terms, although he died early in his fourth term. George Washington started the so-called two term tradition."

"text": "\"Primary Documents - Henry Cabot Lodge on the League of Nations, 12 August 1919Henry Cabot Lodge, a vociferous Republican opponent (and Senate majority leader) of the Democrat President Woodrow Wilson - considered by many historians today Wilson's political nemesis - was routinely disdainful of Wilson's liberal ideals. Sponsored Links While critical - albeit cautiously so - of Wilson's conduct of America's successful role in World War One, Cabot Lodge saved his greatest ire for Wilson's proposal and sponsorship of the League of Nations . Deeply suspicious of any attempt to unnecessarily involve the U. S. in international political matters Cabot Lodge campaigned ceaselessly against U. S. participation in the League. Cabot Lodge's viewpoint eventually prevailed over that of the increasingly frail president and the U. S. never joined the League. Reproduced below is a speech given by Cabot Lodge in Washington D. C. on 12 August 1919 in which he set forth his objections to the League. Mr. President: The independence of the United States is not only more precious to ourselves but to the world than any single possession. Look at the United States today. We have made mistakes in the past. We have had shortcomings. We shall make mistakes in the future and fall short of our own best hopes."

The Braves finished 92-62 in their first season in Milwaukee, and drew a then-NL record 1.8 million fans. The success of the team was noted by many owners. Not coincidentally, the Philadelphia Athletics, St. Louis Browns, Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants would leave their original hometowns in the next five years. As the 1950s progressed, the reinvigorated Braves became increasingly competitive. Sluggers Eddie Mathews and Hank Aaron drove the offense (they would hit a combined 1,226 home runs as Braves, with 850 of those coming while the franchise was in Milwaukee), while Spahn, Lew Burdette and Bob Buhl anchored the rotation.1957 [ edit]Main article: 1957 Milwaukee Braves season In 1957, the Braves celebrated their first pennant in nine years spearheaded by Aaron's MVP season, as he led the National League in home runs and RBI. Perhaps the most memorable of his 44 round-trippers that season came on September 23, a two-run walk-off home run that gave the Braves a 4-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals and clinched the league championship. The team then went on to its first World Series win in over 40 years, defeating the New York Yankees of Berra, Mantle, and Ford in seven games. Burdette, the Series MVP, threw three complete game victories, giving up only two earned runs.1958 [ edit]Main article: 1958 Milwaukee Braves season In 1958, the Braves again won the National League pennant and jumped out to a three games to one lead in the World Series against New York once more, thanks in part to the strength of Spahn's and Burdette's pitching. But the Yankees stormed back to take the last three games, in large part to World Series MVP Bob Turley 's pitching.1959 [ edit]Main article: 1959 Milwaukee Braves season The 1959 season saw the Braves finish the season in a tie with the Los Angeles Dodgers."

It was common at the time for sportswriters to refer to teams by their uniform colors, and it happens that Chicago's club, which was officially known as The Chicago Base Ball Club, adopted white.

From left to right: Prime Minister David Lloyd George, Premier Vittorio Orlando, Premier Georges Clemenceau, and President Woodrow Wilson. 1915. Courtesy: Library of Congress Woodrow Wilson's supreme goal in World War I was to broker an effective and lasting peace. He enumerated his war aims in his famous Fourteen Points speech, with the last point calling for the creation of a League of Nations. At the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, he fought hard, but was not able to incorporate his Fourteen Points in the treaty. He did, however, make sure the League of Nations was an inextricable part of the final agreement. He hoped that once the League was established, it could rectify the treaty's many shortcomings Of the treaty's 440 articles, the first twenty-six comprise the Covenant of the League of Nations. This covenant describes the operational workings of the League.

It was a peace plan designed to rally opponents of the war in Germany, and it succeeded in that main goal. Points 4-14 were largely realized in fact by 1922. Parts of the first three points were adopted in the long run, and even in the 21st century are a basis of world diplomacy. The plan expressed of Wilsonian idealism in foreign policy, that is, \"\" Wilsonianism .\"\" The goal was to identify the main underlying causes of war in the entire world, and to eliminate or minimize them. The first five points were broad in scope: open diplomacy; freedom of the seas; the beating down of economic barriers; the reduction of armament; and the adjustment of colonial claims on a fair basis. There followed Wilson's formulas for applying justice to specific countries or areas. The 14th point was a declaration in favor of an Association of Nations (or League of Nations) to resolve unexpected future conflicts and thus guarantee world peace. In three followup addresses, Wilson set forth elaborations, clarifications and new point, bringing the total proposals to twenty-three. ["

But all too frequently they pick up an idea which kills it flat at the street level source. They have an eye to global commercial profits from the trickle down effect on their ready to wear ranges. This makes for a lack of creativity as clothes develop homogenized uniformity. Watered down versions that are picked up by chain stores all have the same look that fails to stimulate the ordinary shopper. In a market saturated with retail outlets, clothing sales have been falling, flagging and failing. The consumer simply has too many shopping places to choose from, so spending power gets spread very thinly between all the outlets or directed to specific branded cult goods. Choose Vintage Fashion Dressing Little wonder film stars have started to wear vintage designer clothes from past generations. No doubt individuals will soon start to seek out little dressmaker clothes as young girls did when they patronised Mary Quant in the 1960s. Certainly those with real money hardly want to be seen sporting the same designer top or handbag as their best friend and at a hugely inflated price."

He described it as “one of Bill’s earliest Amish photographs” and that he had not seen anything similar in any of Bill’s other photos. This photo “was taken in the early 1980’s…” [women in] scoop hats” is the only thing written on the negative sleeve, which is odd as well since Bill is known for making copious notes on each of the sleeves. ”You can see this is quite different from the various head coverings Amish women typically wear. I’ve never seen these in person but I believe I have an answer to this question which I’ll post here later today. If you have any thoughts or have seen these types of hats before your ideas are welcome. UPDATE: You readers are great as usual, some very interesting comments came in below (see Terry Berger’s, Naomi Wilson’s, and Barb’s comments, among others). My initial thought on viewing the photo was that these were hats seen among the Nebraska Amish people, primarily of Mifflin County, Pennsylvania. I am not aware of them being worn by any other Amish."

The word ḥijāb in the Quran refers not to women's clothing, but rather a spatial partition or curtain. [ 5] The term can refer to any head, face, or body covering worn by Muslim women that conforms to a certain standard of modesty. Hijab can also be used to refer to the seclusion of women from men in the public sphere, or it may denote a metaphysical dimension, for example referring to \"\"the veil which separates man or the world from God\"\". [ 6]Most often, it is worn by Muslim women as a symbol of modesty and privacy. According to the Encyclopedia of Islam and Muslim World, modesty in the Quran concerns both men's and women's \"\"gaze, gait, garments, and genitalia.\"\" [ 7] The Qur'an instructs Muslim women to dress modestly. [ 8] Some Islamic legal systems define this type of modest clothing as covering everything except the face, hands up to wrists, and feet. [ 6] [9] These guidelines are found in texts of hadith and fiqh developed after the revelation of the Qur'an but, according to some, are derived from the verses ( ayahs) referencing hijab in the Qur'an.

"text": "The Evolution of the Necktie August 14, 2013 Hendrik Uncategorized Have you ever wondered why men wear ties ? Did you ever ask yourself how this style trend evolved? After all, the necktie is purely a decorative accessory. It doesn’t keep us warm or dry, and certainly does not add comfort. Yet men all around the world, myself included, love wearing them. To help you understand the history and evolution of the necktie I decided to write this post. The Origin of the Necktie Most sartorialists agree that the necktie originated in the 17th century, during the 30 year war in France. King Louis XIII hired Croatian mercenaries (see picture above) who wore a piece of cloth around their neck as part of their uniform. While these early neckties did serve a function (tying the top of their jackets that is), they also had quite a decorative effect – a look that King Louis was quite fond of. In fact, he liked it so much that he made these ties a mandatory accessory for Royal gatherings, and – to honor the Croatian soldiers – he gave this clothing piece the name “La Cravate” – the name for necktie in French to this day."

"text": "Fascinator: history of a hair accessory Posted by Julie on Thursday, August 30, 2012 · 33 Comments A fascinator hat is a small ornamental headpiece that fits on the head using an alice-band-type base or headband or even a small comb. It is always lightweight and usually features feathers, beads or flowers. The use of the term fascinator began in the 1990s when such headpieces became popular for wearing at weddings without ruining your lovely hairstyle or giving you a helmet head. These days it can be worn for any occasion, but mostly formal. The only purpose of a fascinator is hair decoration. The fascinator always sits at an angle on the head as if perching on top of the well-groomed hair and complementing the look of the hair. A cross between a hair accessory and a cocktail hat, a fascinator with veil is also quite common. The fascinator as we know it today is adopted in the London (Luton-based) millinery trade during the late 1970s and 80s. However, use of the word ‘fascinator’ has been used in previous centuries to describe a lacy headcovering similar to a shawl but much smaller and lighter. Let’s go for a ride in my fashion history timeline machine with the dial set to fascinator hats."

Mostly considered to be a garment for women and girls, pantyhose appeared in the 1960s [ citation needed] as a convenient alternative to stockings and/or control panties (which, in turn, replaced girdles ). Like stockings or knee highs, pantyhose are usually made of nylon, or of other fibers blended with nylon. Pantyhose are designed to:be attractive in appearance,hide physical imperfections such as blemishes, bruises, scars, hair or varicose veins,reduce visible panty lines, [1] andease chafing between feet and footwear, or between thighs. Besides being worn as fashion, in Western society pantyhose are sometimes worn by women as part of formal dress.

"text": "\"Media and Clothing Market Influence on Adolescent Girls: Warnings for Parents Once, slut was one of the most derogatory and insulting epithets that could be hurled at any woman... In today's world, however, both the term itself and the sexual promiscuity it signifies are embraced (Libeau, 2007, p. 12). As young girls seek to assert their own identities, they are inclined to look to women they admire in pursuit of lifestyles to mimic. Confronted with ambiguous age boundaries and bombarded with popular cultural icons, a sexual pandemic is spreading as fashions trickle down into their closets and cultures (Cook, 2004, p. 210). Fueled by influential media and an overly provocative clothing market, today’s young females are rocketing into adult behaviors at young ages, and multiple risks are along for the ride. Some parents raise voices of alarm at this cultural trend of young girls growing up too fast and may seek ideas for guiding their youth to embrace standards they both can agree on. In response to expressions of public concern, the American Psychological Association formed the Task Force on the Sexualization of Girls to research the issue. The task force defined sexualization as the occurrence of one or more of four circumstances: when a person's value comes solely from his or her sexual appeal or behavior; when a person is held to a standard that equates physical attractiveness (which is narrowly defined) with being sexy; when a person is sexually objectified; or when sexuality is inappropriately imposed upon a person (APA, 2007, p. 2). While some parents express concern over these issues, some are likely to wonder why it is even an issue in the first place. Isn't it OK for their girls to be sexy and hot? Isn't it good for their daughters to be popular and attract boys’ attention?"

Wilson's parents were Scots-Irish (his mother was an immigrant, his father the son of immigrants) who met and married in Ohio before moving south in 1854. Pastor of Staunton's First Presbyterian Church and chaplain at Augusta Female Seminary (now Mary Baldwin College ), Joseph Ruggles Wilson was a notoriously strong-willed character. When Wilson was a year old, his father accepted a position at First Presbyterian Church in Augusta, Georgia, and Wilson lived there from 1858 until 1870. The family considered itself to be thoroughly southern. According to biographer H. W. Brands, the reverend \"\"followed many of his southern colleagues-in-the-cloth in discovering biblical sanction for the peculiar institution,\"\" and during the American Civil War (1861–1865), he even served for a short time in the Confederate army. His church, meanwhile, was used as a field hospital and a holding area for Union prisoners of war. Tommy, as the young Wilson was called, saw firsthand the destruction of war, and it shaped his view of war for the rest of his life. Woodrow Wilson with the Jefferson Literary and Debating Society Wilson did not learn to read until he was ten years old, and modern historians suggest that he may have suffered from dyslexia. When he was fourteen, he and his family moved to Columbia, South Carolina, and Wilson was tutored by professors at the Presbyterian seminary where his father taught."

Open Document Treaty of Versailles The Treaty of Versailles began with a peace conference which opened in Paris in January of nineteen twelve at the end of World War I. There were great expectations of peace. France, Great Britain, Italy, and the United States were present at the conference. Not only did these countries want peace from the war; they were also looking for eternal peace. This optimism and idealism was greatly strengthened by President Wilson’s peace proposal, the Fourteen Points. It was published in January of nineteen eighteen and the points stressed national self-determination and the rights of small countries. ( 1) The Treaty of Versailles was a failed attempt by the Big Four for peace. The United States, Great Britain, and France were the real powers at the conference. Germany wasn’t allowed to participate, Russia was in the middle of a civil war and Italy was considered part of the Big Four but their involvement was limited. From the start the three big allies began to quarrel. European crowds wildly cheered President Wilson."

Answer by Ranger22 Confidence votes 28.7KThe Treaty of Versailles (1919) was the peace treaty which officially ended World War I between the Allied and Associated Powers and Germany. After six months of negotiations, which took place at the Paris Peace Conference, the treaty was signed as a follow-up to the armistice signed in November 1918 in Compi$gne Forest (which had put an end to the actual fighting). Although there were many agreements to the treaty, one of the more important and recognized agreements required that Germany accept full responsibility for causing the war and, under the terms of articles 231-247, make reparations to certain members of the Allies. Terms imposed by the Treaty included Germany losing a certain amount of its own territory to a number of surrounding countries, being stripped of all its overseas and African colonies, and its ability to make war again was limited by restrictions on the size of its military. Germany also acknowledged and agreed to respect the independence of Austria. Germany's foreign minister, Hermann M$ller, undersigned it on June 28, 1919. The treaty was ratified by the League of Nations on January 10, 1920. In Germany, the treaty caused shock and humiliation that contributed to the collapse of the Weimar Republic in 1933.17 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

"text": "\"THE LIES AND RACISM OF WOODROW WILSONThe image of President Woodrow Wilson handed down to us through history is of a democratic idealist whose rhetoric outlined the rationale for American involvement in foreign wars in the 20th Century. From Wilson's presidency onward, the United States would enter world affairs with the intention of making the world \"\"safe for democracy\"\", ensuring freedom of the seas, lowering prohibitive tariff walls, and fostering the right of all peoples to self-determination. Wilson's rhetoric was later echoed by other presidents, most notably Franklin D. Roosevelt, who argued repeatedly that Americans needed to enter the Second World War to protect freedoms outlined by Wilson three decades earlier. Fast-forward a century and the rise of neo-conservatism to power in the United States at the dawn of the 21st Century was accompanied by similar rhetoric about the American obligation to spread democracy around the world and open the doors of global trade. The similarities between Wilsonian and neo-conservative foreign policy are fundamental, not coincidental. Indeed, Wilsonian values have been cited repeatedly as the reasons why the U. S. launched its invasion of Iraq in 2003. [ *] Few in the Western world would dispute either that democracy is a desirable form of government or that self-determination is a good thing. However, it is worth comparing the rhetoric to the reality of Woodrow Wilson. After all, if the man's words are going to be used to justify the massive projection of American force overseas it is worth knowing more about what he actually did while in office and if these actions justify the idealization of him by contemporary American policy-makers.

The United Kingdom, France, and Italy fought together as the Allied Powers during the First World War. The United States, entered the war in April 1917 as an Associated Power.

Of the many provisions in the treaty, one of the most important and controversial required \"\"Germany [to] accept the responsibility of Germany and her allies for causing all the loss and damage\"\" during the war (the other members of the Central Powers signed treaties containing similar articles). This article, Article 231, later became known as the War Guilt clause. The treaty forced Germany to disarm, make substantial territorial concessions, and pay reparations to certain countries that had formed the Entente powers. In 1921 the total cost of these reparations was assessed at 132 billion marks (then $31.4 billion or £6.6 billion, roughly equivalent to US $442 billion or UK £284 billion in 2018)."

( Gilder Lehrman Collection)The Treaty of Versailles, which ended World War I, was drafted at the Paris Peace Conference in the spring of 1919 and shaped by the Big Four powers—Great Britain, France, Italy, and the United States. This souvenir copy of the Paris Peace Conference program is signed by President Woodrow Wilson and other world leaders. The treaty would largely come to be seen as a failure for Wilson, however. Congress, concerned about conceding individual power in order to become a member of the League of Nations, refused to ratify it. Wilson had been the driving force behind the League of Nations, and while the other signatories of the treaty embraced the League, American isolationism quashed enthusiasm for it at home. This press statement, released as Wilson left office in 1921 by William Gibbs Mc Adoo—who was both Wilson’s son-in-law and his treasury secretary—defends the President’s handling of the Treaty of Versailles. Mc Adoo argued that Wilson had \"\"laid the foundations of world peace and a new order\"\" and made a \"\"matchless contribution to his time\"\" in the treaty. \"\" Whatever may be the imperfections of the Treaty from a political or economic standpoint,\"\" Mc Adoo wrote, \"\"Woodrow Wilson did not fail. \"\" A full transcript is available."

American president, governor, and educator Woodrow Wilson was admired as a writer, a scholar, and an educator more than two decades before he became president. He spent twenty-four years working in the academic world as a professor, then as a college president, before he was elected governor of New Jersey. Two years later he was elected president of the United States, led the country through World War I (1914–18) and was the primary architect of the League of Nations. Early years Stephen Woodrow Wilson was born in Staunton, Virginia, on December 28, 1856, the son of Joseph and Jeanie Wilson. His father was a Presbyterian minister. Wilson briefly attended Davison University in North Carolina, but transferred to Princeton University and graduated there in 1879. He received his doctorate in 1886 from Johns Hopkins University. In his doctoral thesis Wilson analyzed the American political system, and criticized what he believed was a breakdown of power in Congress, which was caused by the committee system. He believed that the president ought to solely lead the nation, a view that did not change once he was in the White House. From 1886 to 1910 Wilson was in academic life—as a professor of political science at Bryn Mawr College, Wesleyan University, and Princeton."

"text": "In American slang, a yellow dog contract is a contract between an employee and an employer in which the employee agrees not to join a union. This is viewed as a term of employment; if the employee joins or organizes a union, he or she can be fired. In the United States, this practice is now illegal, but it was once quite common, used as a tool to force people to give up their right to organize in exchange for job security. Labor organizers vigorously protested the practice of drafting yellow dog contracts as conditions of employment, and as a result, the practice was banned in 1932 under the Norris-La Guardia Act. The yellow dog contract began to appear in the late 1800s, when employers grew increasingly concerned about the power of labor unions, and the influence of unionization on American workplaces. Many prospective employees were willing to sign yellow dog contracts to get jobs, and to ensure that their jobs would be safe, and employers used this to effectively shut the union out of their workplaces. People referred to such contracts as “yellow dogs” to reference the idea that employees who signed such contracts were “worth little more than a yellow dog. ”Ad Labor unions naturally vigorously opposed the yellow dog contract, arguing that it inhibited employee freedoms and made it substantially harder for unions to advance workplace protections. Employers suggested that employees had the choice to not sign such contracts, although the unions felt that a high degree of coercion was involved, since employees would often not be hired without signing a yellow dog contract. For people in stressed financial positions, very little actual choice was involved when faced with a yellow dog contract."

"text": "Keith Kelleher, Contributor Founder and Former President, SEIU Healthcare IL & INThe JANUS Case: “Kill Shot” for Unions, Or Shot in the Arm?11/28/2017 01:52 pm ET“ By 1928, the UMW (United Mine Workers of America) was in a headlong race to oblivion…From a high of more than 500,000 bituminous members in 1921-22, the UMW membership had fallen to perhaps 80,000 by mid-1928…the UMW was in retreat… (UMW President John L) Lewis had little to save, for his organization as an effective trade union was dead everywhere except Illinois…By 1932, the average hourly earnings for soft coal miners had fallen to fifty cents, and in the following year almost one third of the nation’s mines paid their workers less than $2.50 a day…The plight of the union paralleled the fate of the coal miner. By 1932 little remained of what had once been the proudest trade union in the United States… Unionism had been erased as a functioning institution from the coal fields... Pennsylvania, which once included more than one hundred thousand members in in its two primary soft-coal districts, counted less than fifteen hundred. And the gem of the union, Illinois District 12… had been shattered…”From “John L Lewis: A Biography,” By Melvyn Dubofsky and Warren Van Tyne, 1986, University of Illinois In 1928, and in the early Depression years of the 30’s, many doubted that the United Mineworkers (UMW) headed by its leader, John L Lewis, would survive many more months, not to mention years that would be needed to rebuild it and the rest of the US labor movement, which was reeling from decades of government-sanctioned union-busting and the ravages of the Great Depression. According the US Department of Labor (USDOL), labor union density, or the percentage of the workforce in unions, was only 7.5% in 1930, having dropped from almost 20% of the workforce in the years 1918-20, right after World War I. The Janus Case Today, many equate the “lean years” of the late 1920’s to early 30’s to today’s labor movement, likewise under siege from government-sanctioned union-busting and court cases like the current Janus case, which will be decided by the US Supreme Court, sometime in early to mid-2018. If the Supreme Court decides in the Janus case – as many overwhelmingly predict they will – to change US labor law with a sweeping decision outlawing “Fair Share” or union shop in public employee union contracts, US union membership could plummet by millions of members, further weakening the US labor movement which today represents only 10.7% of the US labor force (and less than 7% of the private sector). This could mean dramatically lower wages and benefits for public employees and many other workers, as has been the case in Wisconsin and other states that have gone this same route in recent years. And that’s just the start; the anti-union, corporate-funded right-wing hit squad euphemistically called the National Right to Work Committee (NRTWC) has other cases even more damaging to working people and their unions “in the pipeline” to finish off unions for good. On top of that, they have other well-funded campaigns – oiled by the Koch Brothers’ and other far-right ideologues’ money – to try and convince even more members to drop out of their union. “Mine Worker Moments” in our History In my experience with our original union, the United Labor Unions (ULU), an independent union, established by the national Executive Board of national community organization ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) in 1978, we were committed to organizing low-wage workers in our communities – low and moderate income, multi-racial, primarily women, living in communities lacking power. ULU sought to organize the primarily low-wage workers in our communities – workers that traditional unions could not, would not or did not organize."

"text": "Top 10 Rescue Dogs from 9/1116By Bryan Johnson on September 11, 2012 Animals In the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, over 350 trained search and rescue dogs responded to Ground Zero and the Pentagon. The dogs were extremely important in locating human victims, by using their sense of smell and agility to direct workers to the location of those injured and deceased. The aftermath of 9/11 saw the largest deployment of SAR (search-and-rescue) dogs in U. S. history. In addition, 300 therapeutic dogs were deployed to help comfort people. Among the most popular dog breeds to be used were German Shepherds, Australian Shepherds, Belgian Shepherds, Yellow Labradors, Black Labradors, Chocolate Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Portuguese Waterdogs, Belgian Malinois, Border Collies, and Rat Terriers. The dogs worked 16 hours a day, and usually stayed on site for 7 to 14 days. In 2011, it was reported that only 12 dogs that responded to Ground Zero in New York after 9/11 were still alive. Some of the owners of the rescue dogs have claimed that their pets were negatively impacted by the toxic air of Ground Zero. In response, a $400,000 grant was issued to FEMA in order to study the health effects of the dogs that worked at the World Trade Center site. The study found that there is no pattern of major health concerns for the SAR dogs."

"text": "\"Rabies CLOSE ALLWhat is rabies and what causes it? Rabies is an infectious disease that spreads from animals to humans. The rabies virus causes the disease by infecting nerves in animals and people. The rabies virus travels to the brain (through nerves inside the brain), the virus reproduces, and then it travels back through the nerves to most parts of the body. Eventually, the virus reaches the salivary glands where it is released into the saliva in the mouth. By this time, the disease has usually damaged the brain, sometimes producing violent behaviour. It eventually causes death. How long does it take for rabies to develop? In people, the incubation period (the time between initial contact with the virus and onset of the disease) generally ranges from two to eight weeks. In rare cases, it can vary from 10 days to 2 years."

"text": "\"American Labor Movement The beginnings of the American labor movement In the early years of the republic, efforts by tradesmen to create better conditions by refusing to work and trying to prevent others from working were considered criminal offenses. Journeymen boot-makers and shoe-makers were put on trial in Philadelphia in 1806 and convicted of criminal conspiracy. This set the standard attitude towards organized work disruptions until 1842, when the principle of criminal conspiracy was rejected by the Supreme Court of Massachusetts. The New York Workingmen's Party lasted only a short time, formed in 1829 and disappearing in 1830. However, it publicized a new goal, the reduction of daily time of labor to ten hours. Since the work week was still six days, this radical demand was for no more than sixty hours of work a week. In 1833, journeymen carpenters struck for higher wages and were supported by contributions from other tradesmen until their demands were met. Out of this combination arose the General Trades' Union of New York. The attitude of business was negative, as can be seen in this excerpt from an article in the New York Journal of Commerce in June of that year: But according to our notions of the obligations of society, all combinations to compel others to give a higher price or take a lower one are not only inexpedient but at war with the order of things which the Creator has established for the general good, and therefore wicked. ... The first crack in the judicial opposition to trade union actions came in Connecticut in 1836."

"text": "\"Zoonotic Diseases in Dogs By Ernest Ward, DVMCare & Wellness What is a zoonotic disease? Zoonotic disease or zoonoses are terms used to describe an infection or disease that can be transmitted from an animal to a human being. Are there many zoonoses? Altogether, well over a hundred diseases are capable of being transmitted from animals to humans, although most are rare in North America. All domestic animals including dogs, cats, birds, horses, cows, sheep, goats and rabbits can potentially spread diseases to people, but rarely does this actually occur. If pet owners exercise basic hygiene principles, especially hand washing, most of these potential diseases can be avoided. How great is the risk of contracting a zoonotic disease from my dog? Current evidence supports the fact that pet dogs pose a minimal zoonotic risk to their human companions. Your risk may be slightly higher if you have a compromised immune system from disease or medication, such as: People with AIDS/HIVPeople on chemotherapy or receiving radiation therapy People who are elderly or have chronic diseases People with congenital immune deficiencies People who have received organ or bone marrow transplants Pregnant women (a fetus's immune system is not fully developed, and the pregnant woman's immune system is altered so that she won't reject the fetus)\"\"If you fall into one of these categories, it doesn't mean you have to give up your pet! \"\" If you fall into one of these categories, it doesn't mean you have to give up your pet!"

Let us take example from them. We see the capitalist class fortifying themselves today behind their Citizens’ Associations and Employers’ Associations in order that they may crush the American labor movement. Let us cast our eyes over to far-off Russia and take heart and courage from those who are fighting the battle there.” — Lucy Parsons, at the founding convention of the IWW, 1905 1To master and to own THE INDUSTRIAL Workers of the World (IWW) occupies a proud place in the tradition of radicalism and labor struggle in the United States. Capturing the imagination of an entire generation of radicals, organizers, socialists, and anti-capitalists of every stripe, it was in many ways a uniquely North American organization, and at its height counted among its members nearly every notable radical and class fighter of its time. Its members included the great leader of the Socialist Party (SP) Eugene Debs, organizer for the Western Federation of Miners Big Bill Haywood, revolutionary journalist John (Jack) Reed, union organizer Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, the famous “friend of the Miners” Mother Jones, founder of the Socialist Labor Party Daniel De Leon, leader of the Great Dublin lockout of 1913 and the Easter Uprising James Connolly, founder of the Catholic Worker society Dorothy Day, agitator and wife of Haymarket martyr Lucy Parsons, leader of the packinghouse and steel strikes of 1919 William Z. Foster, and even Helen Keller. The IWW planted the idea of industrial unionism deeply in the politics of the US labor movement, paving the way for the industrial union drives of the CIO (Congress of Industrial Organizations) in the 1930s. Wobblies 2 participated in some of the first sit-down strikes in US history, and built unions across color and gender lines, from the Philadelphia waterfront to the backwaters of the Jim Crow South. Their belief in industrial unionism was seen as a weapon to be used against the capitalist class, embodied in the quotation from Marx contained in the preamble of the IWW’s constitution: “Instead of the conservative motto of a fair days wage for a fair days work, we must inscribe on our banner the revolutionary watchword, ‘abolition of the wages system.’” And in the final battle between contending classes, the general strike would be used to break the power of the capitalists and usher in the “cooperative commonwealth.”"

"text": "\"The American labor force has changed profoundly during the nation's evolution from an agrarian society into a modern industrial state. The United States remained a largely agricultural nation until late in the 19th century. Unskilled workers fared poorly in the early U. S. economy, receiving as little as half the pay of skilled craftsmen, artisans, and mechanics. About 40 percent of the workers in the cities were low-wage laborers and seamstresses in clothing factories, often living in dismal circumstances. With the rise of factories, children, women, and poor immigrants were commonly employed to run machines. The late 19th century and the 20th century brought substantial industrial growth. Many Americans left farms and small towns to work in factories, which were organized for mass production and characterized by steep hierarchy, a reliance on relatively unskilled labor, and low wages. In this environment, labor unions gradually developed clout. Eventually, they won substantial improvements in working conditions. They also changed American politics; often aligned with the Democratic Party, unions represented a key constituency for much of the social legislation enacted from the time of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal in the 1930s through the Kennedy and Johnson administrations of the 1960s."

"text": "\"Non-Compete Agreements Non-competition agreements are promises by employees to refrain from competing against their former employer for a time after their employment relationship ends. Non-competition agreements are cheap and easy for employers to get, usually by offering new or continued employment in exchange for them. Since most states permit employers to reject applicants or terminate employees who refuse to sign non-competes, employees usually have little choice but to accept them. Once an employee accepts a non-compete, it survives the life of the employment relationship and then lives on to restrict the employee from engaging in the same line of work. Although cheap and easy for employers to get, non-competition agreements are ruinously expensive for employees. They narrow career paths, block opportunities and force employees to stay in undesirable jobs. And they can effect third parties, like customers and patients, who might find their former hair dresser or doctor refusing to provide service or care, since under threat of non-compete litigation. Courts enforce reasonable Non-competition Agreements Contract law requires courts to enforce clearly written contracts according to their terms. Contract law presumes that the parties look out for their own interests when bargaining, and agree only to acceptable terms. Consequently, courts will not review contract for fairness, and generally enforce them as written."

"text": "July 18, 2011, 11:53 am While many park authorities have allowed private companies to operate gift shops or rental concessions within parks, private management of entire parks under concession agreement is relatively new but growing rapidly. As state and local governments come under increasing budget pressures, private management of public parks can be a useful tool for public authorities trying to keep parks open for the public. A great introduction to this model is here. Here is an example private park operator. Private recreation operators aren’t trying to take ownership of the land. They aren’t trying to pave the wilderness. They aren’t trying to build condos in front of Old Faithful. They are in fact willing to accept whatever recreation mission or preservation mission the public owner of the park sets and manage the park to that mission. What they bring to the table is that in many cases, private companies can operate the park and keep it open with the fees paid at the gate, without big price hikes and without the need for taxpayer subsidies.

Contemporary Yokuts tribes include the Choinumni, the Chukchansi, the Tachi (or Tache) and the Wukchumni. Location The Yokuts traditionally lived along the San Joaquin Valley and the Sierra Nevada foothills. Specifically, the Southern Yokuts inhabited a lake-slough-marsh environment in the southern San Joaquin Valley; the Northern Yokuts’ territory was wetlands and grassy plains in the northern San Joaquin Valley; and the Foothill Yokuts lived approximately on the western slopes between the Fresno and Kern Rivers. Today, Yokuts live on two rancherias in Tulare and Kings Counties and in nearby communities. Population The Yokuts population stood between 18,000 and 50,000 in the early eighteenth century. They had one of the highest regional population densities in aboriginal North America. In 1990, about 1,150 Indians lived on two Yokuts rancherias.

The Yokuts lived in tribes . Each tribe had several villages with about 500 people in each group. Each tribe had a name, a language, and a territory where the people lived.

Extending more than 250 miles (400 kilometres) northward from the Mojave Desert to the Cascade Range of northern California and Oregon, the Sierra Nevada varies from about 80 miles wide at Lake Tahoe to about 50 miles wide in the south. Its magnificent skyline and spectacular landscapes make it one of the most beautiful physical features of the United States. Biologically, it is home to the largest trees in the world—the giant sequoias. As a recreation centre, its year-round facilities prove a magnet to the inhabitants of the huge urban areas of California, and it has considerable importance as a source of power and water. It was the focus of the celebrated California gold rush. Physical features of western North America. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. The Sierra Nevada range is an excellent example of how the human occupation and use of an area can modify its landscape.

The Egyptians used papyrus for paper and boats (more technically called balsas, or floats). A statue of King Tut shows him spearing hippos from a reed 'surfboard', while multi-ton slabs of stone are known to have been transported on large ocean going reed vessels.

When Spanish explorers and missionaries arrived in the late 18th century, the Ohlone inhabited the area along the coast from San Francisco Bay through Monterey Bay to the lower Salinas Valley. At that time they spoke a variety of related languages. The Ohlone languages belonged to the Costanoan sub-family of the Utian language family, [2] which itself belongs to the proposed Penutian language phylum. The term \"\"Ohlone\"\" has been used in place of \"\"Costanoan\"\" since the 1970s by some tribal groups and by most ethnographers, historians, and writers of popular literature. In pre-colonial times, the Ohlone lived in more than 50 distinct landholding groups, and did not view themselves as a distinct group. They lived by hunting, fishing, and gathering, in the typical ethnographic California pattern. The members of these various bands interacted freely with one another. The Ohlone people practiced the Kuksu religion."

Muddy streets and a keen entrepreneurial spirit defined Stockton, CA back in 1849. Before long, this bustling town and its waterways turned into a gateway for supplies needed in the nearby gold mining communities. The rest is Stockton history. When the Gold Rush ended in 1855, the city turned its attention to growing and transporting the vast array of agricultural products that thrived in Central California’s warm and sunny climate. By the end of the 19th century, a diverse group of residents, including Mexicans and Chinese, brought their unique cultures to the area. The city transformed into a major industrial and transportation center -- with flour mills, carriage and wagon factories, iron foundries, and shipyards. In 1933, the Port of Stockton opened as the first inland seaport in California. Today, the Delta waterfront is still a busy commercial port -- connecting San Francisco Bay, the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers."

An influx of European trappers, traders, explorers, miners and settlers affected the lifestyle of the native Yokuts since the Europeans brought a non hunter-gatherer culture as well as diseases to which the Yokuts had no resistance. Following the discovery of gold in California in 1848, settlers flooded into the San Joaquin Valley and carried out a campaign to drive the Yokuts off their land. In his December 20, 1849 Inaugural Address, the first governor of California Peter Hardeman Burnett remarked \"\"That a war of extermination will continue to be waged between the two races until the Indian race becomes extinct, must be expected\"\". [ 3] Between the years of 1851-1854, the total amount of claims submitted to State of California Comptroller for Expeditions against the Indians (by militias) was $1,293,179.20. [ 4] As a consequence of 18 unratified (and highly controversial) treaties between California Indians and the United States government, the Yokuts were removed from their lands and a reservation system was eventually established for them.

The rebellion began in three of the California Missions in Alta California: Mission Santa Inés, Mission Santa Barbara, and Mission La Purisima, and spread to the surrounding villages. All three missions are located in present-day Santa Barbara County, California. The Chumash revolt was the largest organized resistance movement to occur during the Spanish and Mexican periods in California. [ 1]The Chumash planned a coordinated rebellion at all three missions. Due to an incident with a soldier at Mission Santa Inés on Saturday, February 21, the rebellion began early. Most of the Santa Inés mission complex was burned down. The Chumash withdrew from Mission Santa Inés upon the arrival of military reinforcements, then attacked Mission La Purisima from inside, forced the garrison to surrender, and allowed the garrison, their families, and the mission priest to depart for Santa Inés in peace. The next day, the Chumash of Mission Santa Barbara captured the mission from within without bloodshed, repelled a military attack on the mission, and then retreated from the mission to the hills. The Chumash continued to occupy Mission La Purisima until a Mexican military unit attacked people on March 16 and forced the Indians to surrender."

The population was 18,720 at the 2010 census, up from 11,127 at the 2000 census. The city is the location of two California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation women's facilities, the Central California Women's Facility and Valley State Prison for Women. The name \"\"Chowchilla\"\" is derived from the Native American tribe of Chauchila (the spelling is inconsistent in reference guides) Yokut Indians which once lived in the area. The name itself evidently translates as \"\"Murderers\"\" and is apparently a reference to the warlike nature of the Chauchila tribe. The Chauchila Indians were inadvertently responsible for the first white men \"\"discovering\"\" Yosemite Valley, which occurred when the Chauchila Indians were being pursued by a band of whites. References to the Indian tribe still abound in Chowchilla, and the town's high school still retains the moniker of \"\"Redskins\"\" as their local mascot.

A modern statement of Boyle's law is The absolute pressure exerted by a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to the volume it occupies if the temperature and amount of gas remain unchanged within a closed system. [ 2] [3]Mathematically, Boyle's law can be stated as Pressure is directly proportional to the reciprocal of volumeor Pressure multiplied by volume equals some constant.where P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume of the gas, and k is a constant. The equation states that the product of pressure and volume is a constant for a given mass of confined gas and this holds as long as the temperature is constant. For comparing the same substance under two different sets of conditions, the law can be usefully expressed as The equation shows that, as volume increases, the pressure of the gas decreases in proportion. Similarly, as volume decreases, the pressure of the gas increases. The law was named after chemist and physicist Robert Boyle, who published the original law in 1662.

"text": "10.9 Real Gases: Deviations from Ideal Behavior Although the ideal-gas equation is a very useful description of gases, all real gases fail to obey the relationship to some degree. The extent to which a real gas departs from ideal behavior can be seen by rearranging the ideal-gas equation: [10.25]For a mole of ideal gas ( n = 1) the quantity PV/RT equals 1 at all pressures. In Figure 10.20, PV/RT is plotted as a function of P for 1 mol of several different gases. At high pressures the deviation from ideal behavior ( PV/RT = 1) is large and is different for each gas. Clearly, real gases do not behave ideally at high pressure. At lower pressures (usually below 10 atm), however, the deviation from ideal behavior is small, and we can use the ideal-gas equation without generating serious error. FIGURE 10.20 PV/RT versus pressure for 1 mol of several gases at 300 K. The data for CO 2 pertain to a temperature of 313 K because CO 2 liquefies under high pressure at 300 K. The deviation from ideal behavior also depends on temperature. Figure 10.21 shows graphs of PV/RT versus P for 1 mol of N 2 at three different temperatures. As temperature increases, the properties of the gas more nearly approach that of the ideal gas. In general, the deviations from ideal behavior increase as temperature decreases, becoming significant near the temperature at which the gas is converted into a liquid."

"text": "\"Volume-Temperature Measurements on Gases Author: John Hutchinson We have already noted the dependence of Boyle's Law on temperature. To observe a constant product of pressure and volume, the temperature must be held fixed. We next analyze what happens to the gas when the temperature is allowed to vary. An interesting first problem that might not have been expected is the question of how to measure temperature. In fact, for most purposes, we think of temperature only in the rather non-quantitative manner of \"\"how hot or cold\"\" something is, but then we measure temperature by examining the length of mercury in a tube, or by the electrical potential across a thermocouple in an electronic thermometer. We then briefly consider the complicated question of just what we are measuring when we measure the temperature. Imagine that you are given a cup of water and asked to describe it as \"\"hot\"\" or \"\"cold.\"\" Even without a calibrated thermometer, the experiment is simple: you put your finger in it. Only a qualitative question was asked, so there is no need for a quantitative measurement of \"\"how hot\"\" or \"\"how cold.\"\" The experiment is only slightly more involved if you are given two cups of water and asked which one is hotter or colder."

As the name implies, this theory assumes that the gas particles possess only kinetic energy, or energy of motion. The other assumptions of the theory are: Gas particles are hard spheres with no internal structure. The volume of the spheres is negligible in comparison to the average distance between particles. The gas particles neither attract or repel one another (they possess no potential energy). The motion of the gas particles is completely random, so that statistically all directions are equally likely. The collisons of the gas particles with each other and the walls of the container are elastic - resulting in no loss of energy, only change in direction. The collective motion of individal gas particles creates a statistical distribution of velocities in the sample. The average velocity (hence the average kinetic energy) of the gas particles increases with temperature and decreases with the mass of particles We will call a system which fits this model an ideal gas or perfect gas .

Decrease the temperature enough and the gas will condense into a liquid or sublime into a solid. Likewise, increase the pressure enough and condensation or sublimation will happen. Gases are different from solids and liquids (which are referred to as \"\"condensed matter\"\") in that there is room between the molecules. Typically, the space between molecules in the gas phase is large compared with the size of the molecules. Consider a sample of gas inside a piston cylinder (a cylinder with one movable end cap so the volume inside the piston can be changed). The gas evenly fills the volume of the cylinder (the defining property of gases). If the piston is held at a fixed position, then the gas sample has the following important properties: V = volume = the amount of space occupied by the gas, usually measured in liters (L).

A. Szent-Gyorgyi (b. 1893)Introduction [ edit]The word gas comes from gaos, a Dutch form of the word chaos. Gases were the last substances to be understood chemically. Solids and liquids were easy to identify and differentiate, but the idea of different kinds of \"\"ayres\"\" came only slowly. Carbon dioxide was not prepared from limestone until 1756. Hydrogen was discovered in 1766; nitrogen, in 1772; and oxygen, in 1781. Although gases were late in being identified, they were the first substances whose physical properties could be explained in terms of simple laws. It is fortunate that when matter in this most elusive state is subjected to changes in temperature and pressure, it behaves according to rules much simpler than those that solids and liquids follow. Moreover, one of the best tests of the atomic theory is its ability to account for the behavior of gases."

If the wellbore pressure exceeds the fracture pressure, fluids will be lost to the formation. If the wellbore pressure falls below the pore pressure, fluids will flow into the wellbore, perhaps causing a blowout. It is clear that accurate wellbore pressure prediction is necessary. To properly engineer a drilling fluid system, it is necessary to be able to predict pressures and flows of fluids in the wellbore.

For a detailed description of the ideal gas laws and their further development, see ideal gas law. The gas laws were developed at the end of the 18th century, when scientists began to realize that relationships between pressure, volume and temperature of a sample of gas could be obtained which would hold to approximation for all gases. Gases behave in a similar way over a wide variety of conditions because they all have molecules which are widely spaced, and the equation of state for an ideal gas is derived from kinetic theory. The earlier gas laws are now considered as special cases of the ideal gas equation, with one or more variables held constant.

He observed that volume of a given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure provided the temperature remains constant. Boyle's law, published in 1662, states that, at constant temperature, the product of the pressure and volume of a given mass of an ideal gas in a closed system is always constant. It can be verified experimentally using a pressure gauge and a variable volume container. It can also be derived from the kinetic theory of gases: if a container, with a fixed number of molecules inside, is reduced in volume, more molecules will strike a given area of the sides of the container per unit time, causing a greater pressure."

"text": "\"10.3 Relationships among Pressure, Temperature, Volume, and Amount Learning Objective To understand the relationships among pressure, temperature, volume, and the amount of a gas. Early scientists explored the relationships among the pressure of a gas ( P) and its temperature ( T ), volume ( V ), and amount ( n) by holding two of the four variables constant (amount and temperature, for example), varying a third (such as pressure), and measuring the effect of the change on the fourth (in this case, volume). The history of their discoveries provides several excellent examples of the scientific method as presented in Chapter 1 \"\"Introduction to Chemistry\"\". The Relationship between Pressure and Volume As the pressure on a gas increases, the volume of the gas decreases because the gas particles are forced closer together. Conversely, as the pressure on a gas decreases, the gas volume increases because the gas particles can now move farther apart. Weather balloons get larger as they rise through the atmosphere to regions of lower pressure because the volume of the gas has increased; that is, the atmospheric gas exerts less pressure on the surface of the balloon, so the interior gas expands until the internal and external pressures are equal. Robert Boyle (1627–1691)Boyle, the youngest (and 14th!) child of the Earl of Cork, was an important early figure in chemistry whose views were often at odds with accepted wisdom. Boyle’s studies of gases are reported to have utilized a very tall J-tube that he set up in the entryway of his house, which was several stories tall. He is known for the gas law that bears his name and for his book, The Sceptical Chymist, which was published in 1661 and influenced chemists for many years after his death."

Key to understanding scuba diving is the concept of pressure, and how it varies with depth. We intuitively understand that pressure is some type of force, but how is it actually defined? Pressure is a force or weight per unit area. All matter, including air, has weight due to earth's gravity. Accordingly, anything exposed to air is under pressure - the weight of the atmosphere above it. This weight of air, due to gravity, is known as atmospheric pressure (Figure 1). Figure 1.

"text": "\"GAS LAWSCONCEPTGases respond more dramatically to temperature and pressure than do the other three basic types of matter (liquids, solids and plasma). For gases, temperature and pressure are closely related to volume, and this allows us to predict their behavior under certain conditions. These predictions can explain mundane occurrences, such as the fact that an open can of soda will soon lose its fizz, but they also apply to more dramatic, life-and-death situations. HOW IT WORKSOrdinary air pressure at sea level is equal to 14.7 pounds per square inch, a quantity referred to as an atmosphere (atm). Because a pound is a unit of force and a kilogram a unit of mass, the metric equivalent is more complex in derivation. A newton (N), or 0.2248 pounds, is the metric unit of force, and a pascal (Pa)—1 newton per square meter—the unit of pressure. Hence, an atmosphere, expressed in metric terms, is 1.013 × 10 5 Pa. G ASES vs. S OLIDS AND L IQUIDS: A S TRIKINGLY D IFFERENT R ESPONSERegardless of the units you use, however, gases respond to changes in pressure and temperature in a remarkably different way than do solids or liquids. Using a small water sample, say, 0.2642 gal (1 l), an increase in pressure from 1-2 atm will decrease the volume of the water by less than 0.01%. A temperature increase from 32° to 212°F (0 to 100°C) will increase its volume by only 2% The response of a solid to these changes is even less dramatic; however, the reaction of air (a combination of oxygen, nitrogen, and other gases) to changes in pressure and temperature is radically different. For air, an equivalent temperature increase would result in a volume increase of 37%, and an equivalent pressure increase will decrease the volume by a whopping 50%."

The gas laws deal with how gases behave with respect to pressure, volume, temperature, and amount. Pressure Gases are the only state of matter that can be compressed very tightly or expanded to fill a very large space. Pressure is force per unit area, calculated by dividing the force by the area on which the force acts. The earth's gravity acts on air molecules to create a force, that of the air pushing on the earth. This is called atmospheric pressure. The units of pressure that are used are pascal (Pa), standard atmosphere (atm), and torr. 1 atm is the average pressure at sea level. It is normally used as a standard unit of pressure.

Source (s):mtg since invasion Juan J · 10 years ago0 0 1 comment Swampwalk is part of the landwalk ability. A creature with [Type] walk is unblockable as long as your opponent controls a land of that type. Swampwalk means that the creature with swampwalk can’t be blocked if the defending player controls a swamp. There can be strange abilities that is like swampwalk, such as legendary land walk, non-basic landwalk, and the un-serious Denimwalk. ( Don’t ask.) Trample is very hard to word properly, but the ability is very simple in essentials."

Flag How did Hoss die on Bonanza? Answer by Norma Castanon Confidence votes 276On May 13, 1972, in Los Angeles, California, Dan Blocker died of a pulmonary embolism following gall bladder surgery. The writers of Bonanza took the then-unusual step of referencing a major character's death in the show's storyline that autumn. So what that means is that when he died, on the show instead of recasting him, they said he also died on the show. It was later told to his long lost son Josh, that he died in an accident trying to ford a river.29 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "\"aortic dissection (redirected from aortic dissection of haematoma)Aortic Dissection Definition Aortic dissection is a rare, but potentially fatal, condition in which blood passes through the innerlining and between the layers of the aorta. The dissecting aorta usually does not burst, but has an abnormal second channel within it. Description A defect in the inner lining of the aorta allows an opening or tear to develop. The aorta is the mainartery of the body and is an area of high blood pressure. When a defect develops, blood pressurecan force the tear to open and allow blood to pass through. Since the blood is under pressure, it eventually splits (dissecting) the middle layer of the blood vessel, creating a new channel forblood. The length of the channel grows over time and can result in the closing off of connectionpoints to other arteries. This can lead to heart attack, strokes, abdominal pain, and nervedamage. Blood may leak from the dissection and collect in the chest an around the heart. A second mechanism leading to aortic dissection is medial hemorrhage."

Episode VIII took many risky steps in its story which leaves the future open for many of the film's characters. However, for one character, Luke Skywalker, the future appears to be closed off. Of course, that's only the case from a certain point of view. From another perspective, Luke's story may not be quite over. Star Wars: The Last Jedi ended with a climactic battle between student and teacher as Kylo Ren faced off against Luke Skywalker. However, it turns out that the battle wasn't quite what we were led to believe, as Luke was never actually there. Instead, he used the Force to project an image of himself across the stars."

"text": "Stroke (CVA) – Causes, Risk Factors, Symptoms And Treatment Life Style Jul 13, 2011 14601Stroke (CVA) – Causes, Risk Factors, Symptoms And Treatment A stroke occurs when a blood vessel (an artery) that supplies blood to a certain area of the brain bursts or becomes clogged by a blood clot. Within minutes, the nerve cells from that that area are affected and are lacking oxygen and they die within minutes – hours (depending on the severity of obstruction). As a result, that part of the body that is controlled by the stroke affected area of the brain can not function properly. If you notice any symptoms of a stroke you must know that it is a medical emergency and immediate treatment is required, just as in the case of a myocardial infarction (a part of the heart muscle dies due to the lack of blood supply to that area). If medical treatment is started soon after the onset of stroke symptoms, the fewer brain cells will die or be affected by the lack of oxygen.stroke CVAStroke Causes Ischemic stroke is caused by a blood clot that blocks the blood flow to the brain, the blood clot can develop in a narrowed artery that supplies blood to the brain or may reach the cerebral circulation after it migrated from the heart or from any other region of the body. Blood clots usually occur as a result of other disorders that cause modifications to the normal blood flow, such as: Hardening of the arteries also known as atherosclerosis and it is caused by high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol blood levels Atrial fibrillation, or other cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythms)Certain heart valve disorders, such as the presence of an artificial heart valve, a repaired heart valve, valvular heart disease and mitral valve stenosis (narrowing of valvular orifice)Heart valve infection (endocarditis)The presence of foramen ovale, which is a congenital heart defect (a hole through which blood can enter the left atrium from the right atrium Vessel clogging disorders Inflammation of blood vessels (vasculitis)Myocardial infarction. Though in rare rare cases low blood pressure (hypotension) may also be the cause of an ischemic stroke. Low blood pressure leads to reduced blood flow to the brain, can be caused by a narrowing of the arteries or damage of heart attack, massive blood loss or a severe infection. Some surgeries (such as endarterectomy) or other procedures (such as angioplasty) used to treat narrowed carotid arteries may lead to a blood clot at the site where it occurred, causing a subsequent stroke. Stroke Causes Of Hemorrhagic Stroke Hemorrhagic stroke is caused by rupture of blood vessels and bleeding inside the brain (also called intracerebral hemorrhage) or into the space around the brain (called subarachnoid hemorrhage)."

Landon and the rest of the crew watched to see what would happen. After a short while, Greene's hand shot up out of the water, grabbed the hairpiece, and pulled it down.

When left untreated, about 33% of patients die within the first 24 hours, and 50% die within 48 hours. The 2-week mortality rate approaches 75% in patients with undiagnosed ascending aortic dissection. The establishment of the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection in 1996, which gathers information from 24 centers in 11 countries, has helped in the development of an understanding of the complexity of aortic dissection. Dissections of the thoracic aorta have been classified anatomically by 2 different methods. The more commonly used system is the Stanford classification, which is based on involvement of the ascending aorta and simplifies the De Bakey classification. Go to Aortic Dissection for complete information on this topic. Stanford classification The Stanford classification divides dissections into 2 types, type A and type B. Type A involves the ascending aorta (De Bakey types I and II); type B does not (De Bakey type III). This system helps to delineate treatment. Usually, type A dissections require surgery, while type B dissections may be managed medically under most conditions."

"text": "‘Hostiles’ Film Review: Christian Bale Leads Mournful Tale of Settlers and Native Americans This Old West saga’s tale of racism and the near-impossibility of redemption rings all too true today James Greenberg | January 25, 2018 @ 9:15 AMLast Updated: January 25, 2018 @ 9:19 AMLorey Sebastian/Entertainment Studios Motion Pictures It wasn’t long ago that history and old movies would have us believe that the settlers of the West were righteous, God-fearing people surrounded by savage, rampaging Native Americans. In reality, the American dream is much darker, with bigotry, lying and killing stretching back to the founding of the country, and before. Seen in that light, “Hostiles,” Scott Cooper’s mournful meditation on human nature, is more than a revisionist Western; it’s a film that explores the roots of racism and the cost of redemption. Starting out in 1892 New Mexico, “Hostiles” sets up a stalemate between soldiers and Native Americans who instinctively despise and distrust each other with no hope in sight. Not accidentally, it’s a situation that echoes any number of current standoffs in this country that are locked in place by blind hatred. Watch Video: Christian Bale Guns for Oscar in Brutal 'Hostiles' Trailer The long march from New Mexico to Montana starts when career officer Captain Joseph Blocker (Bale), on the verge of retirement after serving his country for 20 years, is ordered to escort ailing Chief Yellow Hawk (Wes Studi) to his ancestral Cheyenne burial grounds to die in peace. After a lifetime of battling Native Americans, and having many of his men slaughtered by them, it is not an assignment Blocker wants. But it is an order that comes from the top, the President of the United States himself. ( Something that wouldn’t happen today.) So to preserve his honorable record and pension, Blocker grudgingly accepts the mission."

Most Rastafarians live in the Caribbean, most notably Jamaica. Rastafarians say that Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia, is Jah (shortened from Jehovah ). They say that Jesus has returned again in the form of Haile Selassie I, or Jah, as he promised in the Bible, and he will deliver them to Zion, their name for paradise or Ethiopia. There are several things that define a Rastafarian: they do not drink alcohol, they do not cut their hair, they spiritually smoke marijuana, they have a strict all-natural (often vegetarian) diet, and they believe in Jah and Zion. Their diet is called I-tal derived from the word vital, and is something like Jewish kosher, but sometimes with no meat at all. Dreadlocks are a common hairstyle of Rastafarians. For them, dreadlocks are an expression of spirituality: the term \"\"dread\"\" refers to a \"\"fear of the Lord\"\". Naturality is an important part of the Rastafari way of life.

[ 2] [3] While sometimes used in a broad sense to refer to most types of popular Jamaican dance music, the term reggae more properly denotes a particular music style that was strongly influenced by traditional mento as well as American jazz and rhythm and blues, especially the New Orleans R&B practiced by Fats Domino and Allen Toussaint, and evolved out of the earlier genres ska and rocksteady. [ 4] Reggae usually relates news, social gossip, and political comment. Reggae spread into a commercialized jazz field, being known first as ‘Rudie Blues’, then ‘Ska’, later ‘Blue Beat’, and ‘Rock Steady’. ["

"text": "A Chalice, also known as a Wisdom Chalice or Chillum Chalice, is a type of smoking pipe used most often by members of the Rastafari movement. It is a sort of water pipe with a hose, or draw-tube, for inhaling. The water cools and filters the smoke and the hose provides additional airspace for cooling. A screen embedded in the crater protects against drawing in burning particles to clog the interior. The word Chalice (along other pronunciations such as chalwa , chali, etc.) is often used to refer to itself, which certain Rastafari consider to be of specific religious importance as they believe it is a gift from Jah. Holy and sacred pipe, the coconut chalice. Burning the holy sacrament within the chalice which carries the 4 elements, earth, wind, water and fire create a mystic smoke for communion with the most high, Jah, to reach the knowledge, wisdom and overstanding. People don't understand that using the Chalice pipe is how we commune with the most high and receive clear understanding and knowledge. - Lance Simmons In Rastafari culture, marijuana and the use of the Chalice Pipe are often associated with drug abuse, and a negative image."

Announcing his conversion to Rastafarianism on Monday (July 30), the rapper unveiled a new answer to that lyrical question. “ I want to bury Snoop Dogg and become Snoop Lion,” he said at a press conference. So, did the onetime gangsta rapper have to drop the “d-o-double-g” when he became a Rasta? Yes, and no, said Ennis Edmonds, a scholar at Kenyon College and an expert on Rastafarianism. The religious movement doesn’t require converts to change their names. But the faith was born in Jamaica, where calling someone a dog is deeply insulting, Edmonds said. “ Rastas would probably see calling yourself a dog as an indication of lack of self-knowledge,” Edmonds said. It expresses how the corrupt world — Babylon, in Rasta theology — had distorted the rapper’s true spiritual nature."

"text": "\"Top definition Rastafari Rastafari is a \"\"messianic religio-political movement\"\" that began in the Jamaican slums in the 1920s and 30s. The most famous Rastafari is Bob Marley, whose reggae music gained the Jamaican movement international recognition. There is significant variation within the Rastafari movement and no formal organization. Some Rastafarians see Rasta more as a way of life than a religion. But uniting the diverse movement is belief in the divinity and/or messiahship of Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I, the influence of Jamaican culture, resistance of oppression, and pride in African heritage. The Rastafarian lifestyle usually includes ritual use of marijuana, avoidance of alcohol, the wearing of one's hair in dreadlocks, and vegetarianism. Marcus Garvey (1887-1940), is usually credited as the founder of Rastafari and is seen as a 2nd John the Baptist.#rastafari #rastaman #rasta #rastafarian #marcus garvey #haile selassie i #jamaica #marijuana #zion #babylonby ♫ Highway to Hell ♫ July 18, 2010260 35Get a Rastafari mug for your mother-in-law Jovana. \""

The colors of red, yellow, green, and black, also known as 'Rasta colors', are often seen on iconography depicting the movement. This Buzzle post explains the symbolism and meaning of these colors. The beginning of Rastafari The Rastafari movement found inspiration in the teachings of Marcus Garvey (1887-1940), a Jamaican proponent of Black Nationalism. He was known to have prophesied the crowning of a black king in Africa. The Rastafaris associated this with the crowning of Haile Selassie I, the Emperor of Ethiopia, believed to be the incarnation of Jesus in his Second Advent. The Rastafari is an African religion, although its followers insist that it is a way of life. The movement stems from various Afrocentric beliefs, mainly the doctrine that Ethiopia is the birthplace of humanity, as well as the Promised Land and Heaven on Earth. Adherents of the movement worship Haile Selassie I, the Emperor of Ethiopia (1892-1975), regarded as an incarnation of Jesus Christ in his Second Advent. Rastafaris number up to approximately a million, living all across the globe."

Rastafarians adopted the colors red, yellow, and green as the color of the rastafarian movement.…the very same colors of the Marcus Garvey movement back in the early 1900’s. Recall that much of the rastafarian belief came from the teaching of Marcus Garvey, so, it is no surprise that they adopted the colors of the movement as well. This is a sign of their total commitment Garvey’s teachings, especially his back to Africa idea. If you listen carefully to many Rastafarian reggae artists today, you will hear them singing about “going back to Africa. ”Marcus Garvey’s message was one of hope for all blacks around the world. Even though his effort to unify them came up short, the rastafarians took hold of the idea and has kept it alive today. So, What do each color represent? The red stands for the blood of black martyrs that were shed around the world during their struggle for liberation, equal rights, and justice. Yellow represents the wealth of the homeland, Africa, particularly the gold.…and finally the green represents the beauty and the vegetation of the promise land, Ethiopia."

"text": "Nutrisystem versus Weight Watchers Review: Comparing the Two Diet Programs Is Nutrisystem or Weight Watchers better? Let's review them and see how they differ in various aspects, including cost. Nutrisystem Nutrisystem costs about $9/day or $270/month. Food is provided to you for the most part, so you don't have to buy or cook your own food. The program can be even less expensive with a Nutrisystem promo discount. Nutrisystem is a pre-packaged and portion-control meal delivery plan which was developed with the main aim of helping users lose weight effectively and safely with a minimum time and money investment. With Nutrisystem dieters order meals, desserts and snacks monthly and they receive them in their mail; all of the foods which are sent by Nutrisystem are very shelf stable and don't require refrigeration. With Nutrisysem dieters can supplement the food with low fat diary products and fresh produce from the local grocery store. Moreover, Nutrisystem has diet plans which are tailored to meet the needs of those with diabetes. Their diabetes plan, known as Nutrisystem D, has been proven in various clinical studies to lower blood sugar and result in substantial health improvements in overweight patients with type 2 diabetes."

"text": "\"Nutrisystem for Seniors Prev NEXTNutri System began more than 30 years ago as just another diet program offering prepackaged meals and dietary counseling. But in the late 1990's Nutri System morphed into an almost exclusively online weight-loss program ( www.nutrisystem.com ), complete with online counseling and menu planning. All of Nutri System's programs are based on the glycemic index, a ranking of foods by how quickly they raise blood sugar levels. Originally developed to help people with diabetes better control blood sugar, the glycemic index has also been used to guide weight-loss efforts. Diets based on the glycemic index promote eating \"\"good\"\" carbohydrates -- whole grains and vegetables-rather than \"\"bad\"\" (refined) carbohydrates because the body digests them more slowly. As a result, they do not substantially affect blood sugar levels and may prevent the body from storing fat easily. They also help you feel full longer. All Nutri System participants are assigned a personal weight-loss counselor, who helps track their progress, provides support, and answers questions about the program. New members also receive a free diet analysis, a menu plan, a catalog of products, a food diary, and an online weekly newsletter. Members also receive an exercise book, and counselors help tailor an exercise plan to suit your lifestyle and goals."

With the holidays over, you may be looking down at the bulging evidence of too much merriment around your waistline. If you've resolved to lose weight in 2011, you might be considering signing up for a commercial diet plan, such as Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem, or Jenny Craig. The TV ads, filled with celebrity endorsers and regular people holding out their enormous \"\"old jeans,\"\" make the diet plans sound terribly tempting. Although an FTC rule now requires testimonial ads to cite typical results, the looming question still remains: Which of these diet programs are worth your money? To find out, Money Watch analyzed eight of the biggest diet plans. Three are support-only plans that don't require you to buy their food, and five are food-delivery plans. We interviewed leading nutritionists and weight-loss professionals, pored through clinical studies, and tallied up membership fees and food costs to determine the ones most likely to help you slim down and to see how much you'd pay to drop 20 pounds. Play Video How to Do a Headstand Our favorite for value and efficacy is Weight Watchers, designed to help you change your eating habits for good.

"text": "\"How Much Fruits & Vegetables Can You Eat With Nutrisystem?by NATALIE SMITH Oct. 03, 2017Fruits and vegetables are the cornerstone of the Nutrisystem diet; you cannot do the diet without eating them. Consuming fruits and vegetables is associated with a lower incidence of diabetes, which is important for obese dieters who are at risk for diabetes. Most Nutrisystem diet plans include seven servings of fruits and vegetables daily, not counting any vegetables that are included with the prepackaged meals that you eat during the course of the day. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Fruit Servings Most of the Nutrisystem plans, such as the women's Nutrisystem Basic and the men's Nutrisystem Basic, allow you to have one fruit with breakfast, one fruit with a snack and your choice of one fruit or vegetable with dinner. Nutrisystem works with the glycemic index, a ranking system that measure how certain foods impact blood glucose levels, and separates \"\"good\"\" carbohydrates that are slowly digested from \"\"bad\"\" carbohydrates. Nutrisystem allows most fruits, except those that have a high glycemic impact, such as watermelon or lychee fruits. Vegetable Servings Nutrisystem Basic requires that both men and women consume at least four servings of vegetables: two servings with lunch, two with dinner, and your choice of an additional vegetable or fruit with dinner. Many vegetables are considered unlimited, meaning that you can eat as many of them as you would like and only count them as one serving of vegetables on your meal plan. Examples of unlimited vegetables include most varieties of tomatoes, asparagus and broccoli. Other vegetables, such as carrots, squash and turnips must be eaten in specific quantities as a vegetable serving."

The theory: Losing weight can be easier if you outsource meal-management chores. Nutrisystem determines portions, prepares and delivers your meals, and tells you what to eat and when. It makes for guaranteed calorie restriction, the tried-and-true weight-loss tactic. Nutrisystem is built around portion control and meal planning. A feature of the diet is the glycemic index, a measure of how various carbs affect your blood sugar. The program is high in protein and emphasizes \"\"good\"\" carbs, such as many veggies and whole grains that are digested slowly.

"text": "Shellfish Bacteria Home >> Health Channels >> Dieting / Nutrition >> Shellfish Bacteria What it is: Eating shellfish has been related to a number of diseases, including those caused by bacteria, viruses including hepatitis A and Norwalk agent, and those caused by toxins. Symptoms: Persons who eat raw or undercooked shellfish harvested from sewage contaminated waters may get diarrhea. If the bad shellfish contains a neurotoxin called saxitoxin and it is eaten in high doses, it can lead to diaphragmatic paralysis, respiratory failure and death. Associated foods: Any edible, aquatic invertebrate with a shell such as clams, mussels, scallops and oysters Prevention: Shellfish foodborne infections caused by bacteria and viruses can be prevented by cooking seafood's thoroughly, storing them properly, and protecting them from contamination after cooking. Traditional methods of cooking seafood's, such as steaming clams only until they open, may be insufficient to kill all bacteria and viruses in them. Shellfish infections caused by toxins are different. Shellfish containing toxins may look and taste normal, and usual cooking methods do not affect the toxin. Some of the toxins or poisons that contaminate the shellfish are paralytic shellfish poison, neurologic shellfish poison, diarrheic shellfish poison, and amnesic shellfish poison. Consumers should be aware of the potential risk to their health, particularly if they eat shellfish from unapproved harvest beds. For normal persons who eat raw shellfish from approved harvest beds, the risk is likely to be small, although there is no way to totally eliminate all risk."

She hoped to make an impression on a male coworker. But she was very nervous about this since the occasion meant revealing clothing that she wasn’t comfortable wearing at the present time. So, this gave her about a month to start a diet and hopefully to change her body enough so that she would feel comfortable in a bathing suit. She felt like she had around 15 pounds to lose. She wanted to know how much weight was possible to lose after around 4 -5 weeks on nutrisystem ( or about a month – as this was one of the diets that she was considering.) She very much liked the fact that she could eat normal type of foods like wraps, pizza, and macaroni and cheese. But she wanted to make sure that the diet was going to be effective enough."

In contrast, a large body of evidence now suggests that diet and acne are strongly linked. The role diet plays in the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris is well illustrated by the fact that a majority of adolescents in Western countries suffer from acne whereas the incidence of acne is rare in populations that follow a traditional, more natural diet. Once these teenagers move to the West and adopt a Western diet, also acne symptoms tend to develop. The purpose of this article is to teach you how a specific anti-acne diet can help you prevent and heal acne vulgaris, that common skin condition characterized by pesky pimples or zits that tend to flare up just before a big meeting or event! So here it is: our best diet tips for preventing acne flare-ups and maintaining flawless, acne-free skin in the long term:#1: Limit Omega-6 Fatty acids, Favor Omega-3 Fatty Acids Omega-6 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids (EFAs), and a certain amount is necessary to the human body. However, excessive amounts of these fats can be harmful to people suffering from acne. Excess omega-6 fatty acids can increase inflammation associated with acne-prone skin by producing substances like inflammatory prostaglandins. Omega-3 fatty acids, on the other hand, have anti-inflammatory effects. Population studies indicate that communities on a traditional diet high in omega-3 fatty acids have low rates of acne."

An earlier study published in 2007 showed similar results—Australian researchers found that young men between the ages of 15 and 25 with mild-to-moderate acne experienced dramatic improvement when they switched from eating the typical American diet (with white bread and highly processed breakfast cereals) to a healthier diet of whole grains, lean meat, and fruits and vegetables. “The acne of the boys on the higher-protein, low-glycemic index diet improved dramatically,” said senior author Neil Mann, associate professor at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia, “by more than 50 percent, which is more than what you see with topical acne solutions. ”Some people have long believed that diet affects acne, but only recently have researchers started to find evidence that this is true. If you’d like to try changing your eating habits to enjoy clearer skin, we’d encourage you to try it. You have nothing to lose!What Not to Eat Studies so far have focused mostly on the foods that make acne worse. Here are the five that come up most often as culprits in increasing breakouts. Avoid these for about a week, and see if you notice a difference."

I know, I know; can we ever truly eat the right thing without someone finding something wrong with it? I completely understand how dreadfully exhausting it can be to try to eat the right thing. During my journey to healthy eating, I also learned how foods can affect my skin, and how even healthy foods that cause acne could be preventing me from looking and feeling my best. It doesn’t mean you shouldn’t eat these foods ever again. In fact, the opposite is true; you should eat them, however they should be part of a well balanced diet, and not eaten in excess. The following foods that cause acne are rich in certain minerals and nutrients that, eaten too frequently, can cause flare-ups in the skin. Read on to find out what foods may be giving you those pimples that just won’t seem to go away no matter what.1. Salsa Salsa is one of my absolute favorite foods, but also one of the top foods that cause acne.

And how much of it is under your control? In this post we’ll try to answer these questions. I’ll also explain how genes contribute to acne, and what you can do to mitigate the damage. Studies: Acne is strongly genetic The relative contribution of genes and environment on acne has been studied a number of times. Let’s look at some of these studies. A massive study of 458 pairs of identical twins and 1099 pairs of fraternal twins found that genes explained 81% of the difference in acne prevalence. Only 19% was explained by non-shared environmental factors (such as diet and stress). One study looked at the influence of genes on sebum production.

On the other hand, skin ridden with whiteheads, blackheads and other types of pimples can indicate oxidative damage, poor nutrition and hormonal imbalances. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, acne is the most common skin condition in the United States. ( 1) Occasional breakouts and chronic acne plague tens of millions of Americans of all ages every year. About 85 percent of teens experience some type of acne, but even many adults deal with at least occasional breakouts too. About half of teens and young adults suffering from acne will have severe enough symptoms to seek out professional help from a dermatologist. From mild to severe, acne can cause painful and unsightly outbreaks on the face, back, chest and even arms. Left untreated, acne can also lead to diminished self-esteem and long-term hyperpigmentation or scarring. Genetics, changing hormone levels, lack of sleep and stress are all contributing factors to acne. The good news is this: many safe home remedies for cystic acne, blackheads, whiteheads, and hyperpigmentation due to acne scars are all available."

"text": "Many plant-based eaters are under the impression that they can obtain all the vitamin A that they need from plant foods that contain carotenoids, particularly beta carotene found in foods like spinach, sweet potatoes, and carrots. It's true that some carotenoids like beta carotene can be converted to vitamin A in your body once they make it into your blood. What you may not know is that carotenoids are not always absorbed efficiently into your blood. Given that vitamin A deficiency is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies in the world and is also a leading cause of death in young children, it's critical for the general public to know that relying solely on carotenoids in plant foods for daily vitamin A needs may lead to any of the following health problems over time: Skin Lesions Like Acne and Acne Rosacea: Vitamin A is needed to develop and maintain moist and healthy epithelial tissues, including your skin. Many long time vegans find it difficult to understand why they have acne while on a whole food, plant-based diet. Vitamin A deficiency is undoubtedly a common cause of acne for all acne sufferers, but particularly for people who eat mainly a plant-based diet and don't include a reliable source of vitamin A in their diets. Poor Night Vision: Vitamin A combines with a protein in the back of your eye to enable night vision. Weak Bones, Weak Teeth, and Poorly Spaced Teeth: Vitamin A is needed for proper growth and maintenance of bones and other soft tissues throughout your body. A Weak Immune System: Because vitamin A is needed for the development and maintainance of all of your body's barriers to infection like your skin, lungs, and the mucosal linings in your digestive and urinary tracts, a deficiency almost assures you of an immune system that is not as strong as it can be. Cancer: Since vitamin A is essential to the health of your immune system, a deficiency could increase your risk for developing certain forms of cancer, such as breast, lung, stomach, and cervical cancer."

The truth is that individual foods have very little influence on acne all by themselves, either for making acne better or for making acne worse. Certain foods eaten in excess, however, even healthy foods eaten in excess, can have unexpected and undesirable effects. This article presents an A to Z review of important foods and their effects on acne. Summary: Foods don’t have a tremendous influence on acne either for better or for worse. Dark chocolate triggers pimple production in people who already have acne but milk chocolate usually does not. The problem is a chemical called theobromine. This plant chemical “excites” the skin and increases oil production."

Talk to your doctor about a possible steroid treatment. If you are pregnant do not use anything.

The good news is that when probiotics are used in conjunction with the antibiotics your dermatologist prescribes, the side-effects associated with taking these medications is reduced. Taking a probiotic can also reduce the number of future acne breakouts. Read below to learn how probiotics play a role in acne control and why these beneficial flora should be part of your acne treatment plan. What Causes Acne? Acne develops in a structure of the skin called the pilosebaceous unit. The central canal of this unit is called the follicle, which includes a hair shaft and an opening to the skin or a pore. In the follicle are small sacs called sebaceous glands which secrete sebum, a skin and hair lubricant. The adrenal hormone testosterone stimulates the production of sebum as well as keratin, a fibrous protein that lines the follicle. In acne, these skin cells shed excessively and stick together."

These pimples hurt because they are swollen and inflamed. Good news is, you can reverse this process. Okay, so what is inflammation, anyway? Simply put, it’s the body’s natural response to attackers – bacteria, chemicals, or, get this, foods that your body doesn’t like. When inflammation works like it’s supposed to, it helps your body fight off an attack by bringing in white blood cells and all the warriors of your immune system. When it’s done fighting the infection, it stops."

Acne is a skin condition that often involves the Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) bacteria on the skin. This bacterium is normally present on the skin, but when acne inflammation is present, it grows excessively and may contribute to damage to the skin. The precise pathology of acne is still a matter of debate and there are a number of theories to explain the different causes of this skin condition. However, research has shown that probiotics can help in alleviating the condition and potentially reducing visible symptoms.

You’re probably well aware of these factors, and despite your best efforts, you still cannot seem to find a solution for your recurring acne. If you’ve exhausted all possibilities and are tired of spending hours at the dermatologist, there is one more culprit you might want to investigate: food allergies. Aside from causing intestinal upset or even flu-like symptoms, food allergies can also cause acne. What Is a Food Allergy? You may have heard the terms “food allergy” and “food intolerance” but aren’t really sure how they differ. Food “intolerance” basically means your body reacts negatively after you consume certain foods, such as eggs, peanuts or poultry. However, a food “allergy” is a much more serious issue that involves an immune system reaction or response after a particular food is consumed. Typically in adults, this response is manifested in a variety of symptoms, including dizziness, itching, hives, nasal congestion, or swelling of the tongue, lips, face or even throat. On the severe end, a food allergy can trigger anaphylaxis, or a life-threatening allergic reaction characterized by a rapid heartbeat, swollen throat or an inability to breathe."

Many people of all ages struggle with skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, dry skin, wrinkles, and sun damage, among others. This can be very upsetting for those who have yet to find a solution to their problematic skin. While conventional medical professionals often discount the connection between skin health and nutrition, there is strong evidence to support the influence of our food choices on the health and vibrancy of our skin. The consumption of certain vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial compounds in the diet is one of the most effective ways to treat skin conditions and improve the look and feel of one’s skin. There are several nutrients that are known to play a role in the proper growth and immunity of the skin, and many people have found that their skin health has dramatically improved after making purposeful changes to their daily diet. For example, Liz from the blog Cave Girl Eats has a great post about how eating a traditional diet has improved her skin health. As her story suggests, making simple changes to your diet can have a significant impact on skin appearance in a short amount of time. In this series, I will discuss how vitamins and minerals from a nutritious whole foods diet can treat acne, wrinkles, and other problem skin conditions. Vitamin AVitamin A, or retinol, is one of the most widely acknowledged nutrients for healthy skin."

"text": "\"How To Cure Cystic Acne Cystic Acne is a skin condition, mainly affecting the face, but it can also effect the upper body and arms, in which the pores in the skin become blocked. These blockages can become inflamed and infected. Acne most affects adolescents and young adults, and estimates are that about 80% of people between 11 and 30 years of age are affected at some point. Acne occurs when the pores of the follicles in the skin and their accompanying sebaceous glands secrete too much of the oily substance called sebum. When sebum is secreted normally, it has a protective role, but when overproduced, it forms plugs in the pores by clumping with epidermal cells that have shed from the skin. These plugs are also known as comedones, which can be white or black-headed, and can be uninfected (noninflammatory acne) or infected and inflamed, leading to papules, pustules, nodules, or cysts. However, Cystic acne is the worst of these lesions. Papules occur when bacteria leads to irritation of the hair follicles Pustules occur when bacteria leads to inflammation of the hair follicles, causing swollen red bumps Cysts occur when inflammation leads to a rupture of the hair follicles (which can also be caused by squeezing the spots, or by harsh scrubbing), releasing matter that triggers wider inflammation, and deeper, hard, painful cysts. What Causes Cystic Acne The biggest factor causing acne is the hormonal change in adolescent teenage years when androgen hormones surge and stimulate more sebum to be produced and a greater amount of skin cells to proliferate. Dead skin cells and oil clog pores and create a welcoming environment for bacteria that lives on your skin."

In some cases, clearing up acne can be as simple as making changes to the diet. These tips will explain which foods to eat and which foods to avoid to get rid of acne. Beneficial Things to Consume Acne occurs when dead skin cells do not shed properly, which blocks the pores and allows dirt, oil, and bacteria to build up underneath the surface of the skin. One way to keep dead skin cells from building up is to keep the skin hydrated. Drink at least six to eight glasses of water each day to keep the pores clear and prevent pimples from forming."

Here's a list of some of the best foods you can eat if you're dreaming of flawless skin that is free of pimples and acne scars:#1: Blueberries Blueberries are one of the greatest health foods of all time, and they can be an excellent remedy for acne vulgaris. In a laboratory test conducted by USDA researchers, wild blueberries were shown to have the highest Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) rating of more than 20 fruits and berries. ORAC is a measure of antioxidant capacity of foods. The antioxidant properties of wild blueberries were shown to be even stronger than those of cranberries, raspberries, strawberries, plums, or cultivated blueberries. In addition to their unrivalled antioxidant powers, blueberries are a good source of pectin which helps clear intestinal toxins that may contribute to acne flare-ups. Furthermore, compared to other berries, blueberries (especially wild blueberries) are a good source of vitamin E.#2: Sweet Potatoes Sweet potatoes are one of the oldest vegetables known to man. They are also one of the most nutritious vegetables and an excellent addition to your anti-acne diet. Although they taste sweet, sweet potatoes have a relatively low glycemic rating."

How do you feel about adapted versions of a raw diet, with LOCAL fruits/veg/nuts/seeds rather than tropical? E.g. apples, almonds, etc. Alicia: A little bit of natural fat is good… like olive oil and avocado, and some tahini here and there. Don’t go nuts (pun intended!).

Fatigue, joint pain, digestive problems, and allergies can all be triggered by inflammation, and they are certainly part of the daily lives of many Candida sufferers. But looking at these two conditions separately is actually the wrong approach. That’s because there is a powerful link between chronic inflammation and Candida. The byproducts produced by Candida include acetaldehyde, ammonia, and uric acid. These harmful substances (along with a long list of other toxins) can enter your bloodstream and cause a host of diverse symptoms. An inflammatory response is your body’s way of dealing with Candida and its byproducts. This inflammation contributes to many of the symptoms regularly associated with Candida. What Is Inflammation? Inflammation is a sign that your body is trying to heal itself, for instance after an injury or when harmful pathogens get into your system."

Policy Chronic inflammation — a normal bodily process gone awry — can contribute to conditions ranging from heart disease and diabetes to cancer. The scariest part? You may not even realize you have this condition. Flying under the radar It’s impossible to ignore the acute inflammation that accompanies an injury — pain and swelling are the hallmarks. In contrast, chronic inflammation happens deep down in your body and often doesn’t cause any symptoms."

"text": "\"Live Science Health Reference: Inflammation: Causes, Symptoms & Anti-Inflammatory Diet By Jessie Szalay, Live Science Contributor | September 30, 2015 11:01am ETMOREInflammation is the body's response to injury. It works to heal wounds, but it can also play a role in some chronic diseases. Credit: Melodia plus photos | Shutterstock Inflammation is a vital part of the body's immune response. It is the body's attempt to heal itself after an injury; defend itself against foreign invaders, such as viruses and bacteria; and repair damaged tissue. Without inflammation, wounds would fester and infections could become deadly. Inflammation can also be problematic, though, and it plays a role in some chronic diseases. Inflammation is often characterized by redness, swelling, warmth, and sometimes pain and some immobility. When you stub your toe, for example, biochemical processes release proteins called cytokines as \"\"emergency signals\"\" that bring in your body's immune cells, hormones and nutrients to fix the problem, according to Dr. Scott Walker, a family practice physician at Gunnison Valley Hospital in Utah. Arteries dilate, blood flow increases, and capillaries become more permeable so that white blood cells, hormones and nutrients can move into the spaces between cells. White blood cells swarm the injured area and ingest germs, dead or damaged cells and other foreign materials to help heal the body, Walker said."

"text": "Overview The level of C-reactive protein (CRP), which can be measured in your blood, increases when there's inflammation in your body. Your doctor might check your C-reactive protein level for infections or for other medical conditions. A high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) test, which is more sensitive than a standard test, also can be used to evaluate your risk of developing coronary artery disease, a condition in which the arteries of your heart are narrowed. Coronary artery disease can lead to a heart attack. A simple blood test measures C-reactive protein. Why it's done Your doctor might order a CRP test to check for inflammation, which can indicate infection or a chronic inflammatory disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, as well as risk of heart disease. CRP tests for heart disease It's thought that a high level of hs-CRP in your blood is associated with an increased risk of heart attacks. A CRP test doesn't indicate the cause of inflammation, though, so it's possible that a high hs-CRP level could mean there's inflammation caused by something besides your heart. The American Heart Association doesn't recommend an hs-CRP test for everyone. Rather, the test is most useful for people who have a 5 to 10 percent chance of having a heart attack within the next 10 years."

Tim Boyle / Staff / Getty Images Studies have identified beneficial effects of statins, including a relationship between statins and inflammation. What is Inflammation? Inflammation is a part of the body's normal response to an injury or infection. When you get a minor injury (an abrasion or cut), the area around it generally reddens and swells slightly. These are outward signs of inflammation, signs of the body mobilizing in the face of damage. It's a natural part of the healing process. But it isn't always helpful. Inflammation occurs when the immune system sends in specialized white blood cells to a damaged area. These cells help combat any infection and clean up the dead cells left behind."

More importantly, the correct information. There are a lot of websites out there with old, outdated, and incorrect information and that is especially true when it comes to treatments. New ones seem to pop up every day and what works for one typically does not work for the majority. This makes treating this disease even more difficult. If this disease is caught early enough in its' course it stands a much greater chance of being put into remission. Some might say that it is cured if caught early enough but we hesitate to call it cured as many patients report the disease coming back months or years later from a second injury. That injury can be in a totally different place or the same place. It can even be many, many years later. Of course, the younger the patient, the more likely it is the disease can be put into remission if caught early enough."

Your physician may order a CRP test if he suspects you have an inflammatory disease such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, or to determine if anti-inflammatory medication is working. The CRP test provides your doctor with very general information. Specific tests and procedures are necessary to diagnose the cause of high CRP levels. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load The Test A simple blood draw is the only thing necessary to determine your CRP levels. The phlebotomist will swab the area on the inside of your elbow or back of the hand with an antiseptic solution. Next, he will insert a needle into a vein to draw blood into a vial. The blood is mixed with antiserum at the lab to isolate C-reactive protein. Normal Results The standards for a normal test result vary by lab, but generally, no CRP is present in the blood for a negative test. If your levels of CRP are low, it doesn't mean that inflammation is absent."

"text": "Chronic Inflammation: The Silent Enemy Burning Within Anyone who has cut, sprained or burned themselves has experienced pain, heat, redness and swelling—the sure signs of acute inflammation, or what the ancient Greeks described as “the internal fire.” In the aftermath of an injury, the body ignites with an inflammatory response to ward off infection and jump-start tissue repair. This reaction is a lifesaver, as white blood cells rush to the scene of the trauma to fight the deadly bacteria that can quickly spread. However, in some people, the inflammatory response is triggered inappropriately or never fully shuts off, potentially resulting in a state of chronic inflammation. Blood tests have detected low levels of inflammation in people diagnosed with a wide variety of illnesses. For example, the “silent” inflammation of cardiovascular blood vessels is now widely believed to be a key part of atherosclerosis. We now know that chronic inflammation continually drains energy from the body as it persistently tries to put out the internal fire, weakening our immune system, making it vulnerable to attack, and even triggering other conditions. “Research indicates that the effects of this chronic, low-grade, invisible inflammation are at the basis of aging and age-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, certain forms of cancer, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and autoimmune disorders,” says Nicholas V. Perricone, MD. In this way, chronic inflammation can lurk like a silent enemy with a hidden burning ember, who persistently steals life forces from the body, while also igniting a variety of other common ailments, such as asthma, arthritis and multiple sclerosis. Dr. Perricone is among a growing number of researchers who believe that chronic inflammation results from a combination of genetics, diet and lifestyle choices that hamper the body’s ability to squelch the internal fire of the inflammatory response."

RA and Other Inflammatory Forms of Arthritis Although there are no specific nutrition guidelines for people with RA, researchers have found a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and phytochemicals supplies the body with powerful anti-inflammatory nutrients. These foods are commonly part of a Mediterranean-style diet of fish, olive oil, fruits, vegetables, nuts/seeds and beans. This diet has been analyzed in small studies for its impact on RA symptoms.

A high level of CRP in the blood is an indication of inflammation which can be caused by any number of conditions from infection to cancer. Myths and Misconceptions About CRP and Cancer While there are those who suggest that lowering your CRP can help you avoid things like colon cancer, that kind of assertion is incredibly misleading. While a high CRP may be caused by the inflammation associated with cancer, it would be overly simplistic to suggest that lowering your CRP would lower your cancer risk. It doesn't work that way. With that being said, chronic inflammation caused by inflammatory bowel diseases, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, can increase the risk of colon cancer. But, even then, it is still unclear whether you can reduce your cancer risk by reducing inflammation with things like aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The mechanisms of the disease are complex, and a CRP test only provides you a means to measure inflammation. It is not a tool to prevent cancer."

The difference may be only nine pence, but an average family drinks 12 or so pints a week. In a year, that adds up to £56. So, over the time your children live at home you could pay for a holiday or two simply by sticking to ordinary milk. No one will notice the difference in their bowl or glass. Though green fanatics insist they prefer the taste of organic milk, formal tests have shown that there’s very little to choose between them on the palate. Try both milks on a bowl of cornflakes and you’re unlikely to be able to tell them apart. Have you herd? Cows fed on a natural diet of grass produce nutrient-rich milk, and appear happier for it But there are other reasons to pay the extra."

Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown said that John was one of seven people taken in after a year-long drug string that ended with police seizing $240,000 in cash after executing search warrants on John's business, his two cars and his home, along with the homes of two of the other men who were arrested. More than 850 Oxycodone and Xanax pills, drug ledgers and records were also discovered and seized by authorities during their searches on Thursday. Speaking at a press conference on Thursday afternoon, NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce referred to the infiltration and take-down of the alleged drug ring as Operation Beach Party.

Justin Testa, Shaine Hack, Steve Kruger, Edward Holohan, Michael Farduchi and Melissa Erul were also arrested this morning and are facing a number of different charges. John, Kruger and Testa are also facing an additional charge for operating as a major drug trafficker, meaning they could ultimately be looking at 25 years behind bars. Brown said that John would sell the pills for $23 or $24, which were supplied to him by Kruger and Testa."

By John Naish Updated: 16:10 EDT, 29 August 201198View comments Audrey Hepburn, iconic star of Breakfast At Tiffany’s, was renowned for her waif-like figure. But her sylph-like beauty masked a lifetime of poor health which culminated in her death at only 63. Now, a leading scientist suggests that her genes were fundamentally altered through suffering starvation as a teenager in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands. Dr Nessa Carey adds that this link between poor diet and genetic disruption might explain why we are now increasingly suffering from modern health crises such as obesity and diabetes. Audrey Hepburn's enviable figure was the result of wartime deprivation. Her genes were fundamentally altered through suffering starvation as a teenager Rates of both conditions are surging, with health scientists warning last week that half of British men will be obese by 2030. Hepburn, the Belgian-born daughter of a Dutch baroness and an English banker, was staying in the Netherlands as a child when Hitler’s armies overran the country in 1940. She struggled to survive after her older brother was dragged off to a labour camp and her uncle and cousin were executed.

Experts who examined the results of 13 research trials found the drug did nothing to improve sufferers’ pain levels, recovery time, sleep or quality of life. So what are the alternatives?

Scroll down for video+8Back pain affects at least 80 per cent of us at some point - but new research has found the most commonly recommended treatment - paracetamol - may be no more effective than a placebo From a small niggle to complete debilitation, lower back pain is a common problem that affects literally millions of people worldwide. Unfortunately, we are all likely to suffer at some stage in our lives and the usual solution is to reach for the painkillers. But a recent clinical review published in the British Medical Journal reports that paracetamol, a common pain relieving medication, is ineffective for the treatment of lower back pain. What’s more, the subjects in the studies who took paracetamol were shown to be four times more likely to have abnormal results on a liver function test. Not good news."

From compulsive porridge-eating to acupuncture and appetite-suppressant sprays, I’ve tried them all. Now, a new study suggests that the solution may be simply down to your choice of dining companion... According to researchers at the University of Birmingham, we are subconsciously influenced by the eating habits of those around us. And given I normally eat dinner with a BBQ-mad husband and a chocoholic teenage boy, it’s no surprise that I pile on the pounds and have to work out daily to fit into my dresses. Until now, I’d assumed that the fact that all my close female friends are far more svelte than I am was a disadvantage. Now, I realised, they were an (as yet) untapped dietary resource. I decided to spend a day shadowing each one, finding out her secrets to staying slim and, with any luck, getting a few to rub off. First on the list is my very oldest friend Amelia Newsom-Davis, 42, whom I first met at nursery in 1973. We went to the same schools throughout our childhood, and have stayed close — despite our periodic fierce spats — for almost four decades."

A study has linked ACE inhibitors and related pills to sudden renal failure, which is fatal in up to 30 per cent of cases. Researchers at Cambridge University are the first to assess the scale of the problem after concerns about the effects of the medication. At least five millions patients take the tablets, the most popular for high blood pressure, with the number rising each year. The academics compared hospital admissions for sudden kidney failure with prescribing rates for ACE (short for angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitors and related pills. These showed that between 2007-08 and 2010-11, there was a 52 per cent rise in admissions and a 16 per cent increase in prescriptions for the drugs. The biggest increases in admissions tended be in patients from GP surgeries which had the largest rise in prescriptions. The researchers said there was ‘strong evidence’ of a link but their project did not prove the drugs were to blame. They stressed that no patients should stop taking their tablets unless advised to do so by their doctor. However, safer prescribing of the drugs could cut kidney disease, and save money and lives, added the study."

Instead, a bright, flashing line appears across her eyes, causing her vision to partly disappear. The 42-year-old has suffered up to five such attacks a day, severely affecting her work and ability to drive. What she experiences is known as a silent migraine - a type of migraine that comes without the severe headache typically associated with the condition. Instead, those affected experience visual disturbance, co-ordination problems, and pins and needles (symptoms known as migraine 'aura'). ' The first time it happened I was about 14 and thought I was having a stroke or going blind - it was terrifying,' says Rachel, a Birmingham City University administrator who lives with her husband Neil, 44, a heritage building restorer, in Aldridge, West Midlands. She saw an optician, who reassured her there was nothing wrong with her eyes, but after doing her own research she realised what was causing her symptoms. She put up with the silent migraines and realised she would feel OK again after they passed, usually after about 20 minutes - although during that time she couldn't see properly and her co-ordination was compromised. On average, she had about five attacks a year but two years ago she started having the attacks four or five times a day so she sought medical help. In the aftermath, she felt 'spaced out' and tired for a few hours."

"text": "The medical guide to a flat stomachby ANGELA EPSTEIN, Daily Mail Very few people are satisfied with the shape of their stomach. Even those who are slim often complain that their abdomen feels full and 'tight' and sometimes looks distended. Persistent symptoms should always be checked by a GP, but most of the time a bloated stomach is caused by basic factors in diet and lifestyle. Here are some ways to flatten it . . . Drink water If abdominal fullness is caused by water retention, you can actually reduce the problem by drinking more. Increase water intake to between six and eight glasses a day. This will dilute the concentration of sodium in the body and so increase the amount of water flushed out of the system. Drinking more water will also ensure the kidneys function effectively, ridding the body of waste products. Do not exchange glasses of water for diet drinks because many contain sorbitol, a natural sweetener, which is hard to digest and can cause abdominal bloating. Reduce salt intake Avoid eating rapidly, because when you swallow too quickly, at least a pint of air can be trapped in the gut and form gas in the bowel, which can lead to a bloated stomach."

Pilot studies have shown benefits within just four weeks. Now a larger trial is under way. Around 5 per cent of Britons suffer from rosacea. The exact cause is unknown, but one theory is that it is caused by H. pylori bacteria, found in the digestive system. The bacteria may stimulate the production of a protein, which causes blood vessels to expand, leading to the characteristic reddening. Another suggestion is that it's caused by a tiny mite that lives on the skin - higher numbers have been found on sufferers. In the new American trial, 80 people will take 200mg zinc sulphate for 90 days. Zinc has been found to be an effective treatment for several skin conditions, including acne and warts, possibly because it works against bacteria.

Fast metabolism: Laura Topham is like that annoying friend or colleague who eats handfuls of cheese and chocolates and rarely exercises - yet remains thin In fact, it was once I stopped dieting that I started shrinking. Something has changed and, as I’m not exercising heavily, it must be my metabolism. As a diet-obsessed nation, when we say (or blame) ‘metabolism’ we mean the rate at which our body burns off food. In fact, to be precise, metabolism actually encompasses a vast array of processes vital to keep us alive. Converting food and drink into energy is just one of these.

The author, Dr Ronald Virag, is a French cardiovascular surgeon and leading authority on male sexual health and erectile dysfunction (he pioneered the use of injections to treat the problem). Here Dr Virag reveals some surprising facts about men's sexual function - and what to do when it goes wrong . . . Complex balancing act: Male virility has implications not just for men's love lives, but also for their health YES, YOU CAN HOLD BACK THE RAVAGES OF TIMEJust as men develop grey hair and creaky joints as they hit middle age, from the age of 40, their blood vessels start to age, affecting their virility. The blood vessels become furred with fatty deposits, impeding blood flow to the penis. This lack of blood also means that some of the tissue around the vessels becomes deprived of oxygen - another trigger for erectile dysfunction. Before the age of 40, less than 10 per cent of men have concerns about their erections - after that, more than 50 per cent complain of problems, and it is a worry for the vast majority of the over-70s.

Animal studies have shown that lower levels of testosterone affect penile tissue. There are testosterone receptors, which bind to the hormone to make it effective, inside the penis so they won't be activated if there isn't enough of the hormone, making it difficult for the penis to become rigid."

Know more about its benefits and what to do in case of its deficiency. L-lysine is an amino acid (a building block of protein) that is essential for health. However, it cannot be manufactured naturally in the human body like other types of amino acids. Therefore, L-lysine, also called lysine, is considered as one of the eight essential amino acids. In order to obtain lysine, one has to eat foods high in its content or take dietary supplements containing it. As a building block for protein, amino acids like L-lysine are necessary for normal growth and development. In particular, L-lysine is needed by the body to manufacture carnitine, a substance that is used in the conversion of fatty acids into energy. It also helps in calcium absorption and collagen formation which are important for muscle and bone health. Foods that are high in L-lysine include high protein foods like nuts, red meat, eggs, milk, cheese, beans, and sardines."

"text": "Differences Between Essential & Non-Essential Amino Acidsby STEPHEN CHRISTENSEN Oct. 03, 2017Amino acids are relatively small nitrogen-containing molecules that serve as building blocks for proteins and other organic compounds. Of the 22 amino acids in nature, 20 are present in your cells. Thousands of structural proteins, enzymes, hormones, transport molecules, neurotransmitters and immune molecules are built from these same 20 amino acids, hooked together in slightly different fashions. Your body is capable of manufacturing some amino acids; others must be obtained from your food. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Nonessential Amino Acids According to scientists at the University of Arizona, all humans, including infants, are capable of synthesizing 10 of the 20 amino acids needed by cells and tissues. These nonessential nutrients -- some prefer the term “dispensable” -- can be manufactured from other amino acids or from simpler compounds already present in your body. The nonessential amino acids are alanine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, proline, serine and tyrosine. Adults can also synthesize an 11th amino acid, arginine, but infants and young children cannot produce enough to meet their metabolic needs. Essential Amino Acids Nine of the 20 amino acids needed by adults cannot be synthesized in the body; they must be obtained from dietary sources. Although you do not have to consume these amino acids on a daily basis -- they are recycled, to some extent -- you cannot remain healthy if you are deprived of them for very long."

According to the theory, vegetarian and vegan diets provide insufficient content of essential amino acids, making protein combining necessary. The theory has been roundly discredited by major health organizations. Studies on essential amino acid contents in plant proteins has shown that vegetarian and vegans in fact do not need to complement plant proteins in each meal to reach the desired level of essential amino acids as long as their diets are varied. [ 1] The American Dietetic Association and Dietitians of Canada support this position. [ 2]The terms complete and incomplete are misleading in relation to plant protein. Protein from a variety of plant foods, eaten during the course of a day, supplies enough of all essential amino acids when caloric requirements are met.

Coenzyme A is essential to many biochemical reactions that sustain life. Also, the phosphopantetheinyl moiety of coenzyme A is required for the biological activity of several proteins, including the acyl-carrier protein involved in fatty acid synthesis. ( More information)Pantothenic acid is essential to all forms of life. It is ubiquitously found in foods of plant and animal origin, and dietary deficiency is very rare. ( More information)The Food and Nutrition Board of the US Institute of Medicine set an adequate intake ( AI) of 5 milligrams (mg)/day for adults based on the estimated daily average intake of pantothenic acid. ( More information)Evidence from limited intervention studies suggests that pantothenic acid and/or pantothenol (alcohol analog) might improve the healing process of skin wounds. Yet, additional larger studies are warranted. ( More information)Treatment with high-dose pantethine — a pantothenic acid derivative — has been shown to lower serum cholesterol and lipid concentrations. Although pantethine therapy appears to be well tolerated, medical supervision is indispensable. ("

L-Lysine is important in metabolism, a healthy nervous system and proper immune function. A well functioning immune system can prevent disease and boost overall health. Protein forms the skin and hair coat, builds muscle and strengthens bones and ligaments. To help assimilate protein a horse needs a proper balance of amino acids in their system. Amino acids are obtained through food but unfortunately most grass and grain are low in amino acids, Lysine in particular. Many horses are affected by Lysine deficiencies unless they are being properly supplemented. Lactating mares, growing foals, breeding stallions and performance horses under high stress are most likely suffering from a Lysine deficiency."

When it comes to stretch marks or cellulite, keep in mind that what is happening on the surface of the body is a direct reflection of the breakdown that is occurring beneath the surface. This means that in addition to stretch marks, cellulite, and wrinkles, you may also feel the breakdown of connective tissue in your joints, circulatory system, or even in the intestinal lining. When workout videos claim to bust cellulite and topical creams claim to dissolve stretch marks, they are only addressing part of the problem. Stretch marks are not hereditary. Which means - if your mom had them while pregnant, it does not mean that you will too. Stretch marks are not necessarily the result of rapid growth, although they can result from rapid growth. For example, they can occur during puberty, bodybuilding, or pregnancy. The most common mistake is to believe that fat creates cellulite."

This is because they are set are the level which will prevent disease (deficiency), not at the level which will promote health (curing an insufficiency). Essential nutrients These are: Amino acids Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. There are 8 essential ones that must come from the diet; the remainder can be made by the body. The essential ones are: Typtophan Phenylalanine Taurine Isoleucine Threonine Methionine Lysine Valine The symptoms of amino acid deficiency include: vague tiredness, body aches, digestive problems, and inability to concentrate. Two other amino acids L-carnitine and coenzyme Q10 are also worthy of note, as levels of these are often depressed in people experiencing fatigue. Essential fatty acids (EFAs)These are long-chain unsaturated fats needed from diet. The most important are Omega 3 – found in fish, fish oil and flax oil Omega 6 – found in corn oil, sunflower oil and meats and some dairy produce."

Since the pet food industry recognized that taurine deficiency was a cause of medical problems, cat foods were supplemented with taurine. The first problem recognized was blindness caused by retinal degeneration. Addition of taurine to the diet solved that problem. Not enough taurine was added to prevent cardiomyopathies, however. With the recognition that heart problems were caused by taurine deficiency, more taurine was added to cat diets. Dry foods need high taurine, 1000 to 1200 mg taurine/kg dry weight. Canned foods need twice this amount to maintain normal taurine in body tissues. Cats with cardiomyopathy are treated with taurine, giving initial doses of 250 to 500 mg twice a day."

"text": "\"What Is Protein & What Amino Acids Do You Need? What is a complete protein and how does it relate to natural health and diet? To start, the basic definition of protein is that proteins are long chain molecules made up of amino acids joined by peptide bonds. Next to water, protein is the most plentiful substance in your body and is the principal constituent of the protoplasm in every cell of your body. That said, there is not just one kind of protein, but many kinds in the human body, each with a different function. For example, different proteins can: Provide structure, as found in ligaments, fingernails, and hair Aid in digestion in the form of digestive enzymes Play a role in immunity in the form of immunoglobulins Aid in building muscles Tell your body what to do and when, as seen in peptide hormones Transport oxygen as hemoglobin And even play a role in our ability to see. The lens of the eye is pure crystallin protein. How The Body Utilizes Protein To Build Muscles Interestingly enough, your body does not actually utilize protein directly when you eat it. When you consume protein, for the most part, the body breaks it down into its constituent amino acids, absorbs those amino acids through the intestinal tract, and then using genetic instructions encoded in your body, reassembles them into the proteins it needs to perform all its functions. For example, it takes dairy protein you eat, breaks it down in the digestive tract into its constituent amino acids, absorbs those amino acids, and then reassembles them into muscle protein to help you build muscle."

It contains an α-amino group (which is in the protonated −NH 3 + form under biological conditions), an α-carboxylic acid group (which is in the deprotonated −COO − form under biological conditions), and a side chain lysyl ( (CH 2) 4 NH 2 ), classifying it as a charged (at physiological p H), aliphatic amino acid. It is essential in humans, meaning the body cannot synthesize it and thus it must be obtained from the diet. Lysine is a base, as are arginine and histidine. The ε -amino group often participates in hydrogen bonding and as a general base in catalysis. The ε- ammonium group (NH 3 +) is attached to the fourth carbon from the α-carbon, which is attached to the carboxyl (C=OOH) group. [ 2]Common posttranslational modifications include methylation of the ε-amino group, giving methyl-, dimethyl-, and trimethyllysine (the latter occurring in calmodulin ); also acetylation, sumoylation, ubiquitination, and hydroxylation – producing the hydroxylysine in collagen and other proteins.

The hallmarks of ADHD are problems with inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. ADHD usually occurs in childhood and can continue into adulthood. It is estimated that three to five percent of the children in the U. S have ADHD, according to the National Institutes of Health. The predominant symptoms or behaviors of ADHD are inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. These behaviors result in further symptoms, including difficulties with concentration, controlling behavior, and remaining focused on a task or activity. People with ADHD may also experience hyperactivity or over-activity."

"text": "\"IACC Home > Publications > Statement Regarding Changes in Diagnostic Criteria IACC Statement Regarding Scientific, Practice and Policy Implications of Changes in the Diagnostic Criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder April 2, 2014The Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC) is a Federal advisory committee, composed of Federal and public members, that coordinates all efforts within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) concerning autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The committee recognizes the need for diagnostic criteria for ASD that reflect current scientific knowledge and progress and define the wide range of symptom expression associated with this disorder. It was the goal of the Neurodevelopmental (ND) Workgroup for the Fifth Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) to meet these standards. The DSM-5 criteria were published in May 2013. 1, 2 Although the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria are intended primarily for use by clinicians and researchers in their diagnostic assessments, the IACC is aware that it is important to also remember that these the criteria also have a direct impact on people who have the disorders and their families, and their ability to assess symptoms and obtain services that can help them optimize their health, well-being and quality of life. Any revision of the diagnostic criteria must be made with great care so as to not have the unintended consequence of reducing critical services aimed at improving the ability of persons with autism. In this statement, the IACC describes a range of research, practice, and policy implications that arise as a result of the changes in the DSM criteria which deserve consideration as the DSM-5 is implemented in research, clinical, and educational settings. Changes in the DSM Criteria Starting with the DSM-III in 1980, autism was categorized as a Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD). In an effort to reflect what has been learned through research and practice since that time, the DSM-5 released in 2013 removed the PDD category and the accompanying subtypes (Autistic Disorder, Asperger Disorder, Childhood Disintegrative Disorder and Pervasive Developmental Disorder – Not Otherwise Specified) with a single disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The DSM-5 criteria place greater emphasis on the two core symptom domains of ASD (social communication and restrictive, repetitive behaviors), and no longer consider verbal abilities as a diagnostic feature."

Using the DSM and ICD-10Does autism have a physical cause? Although behaviourally defined, research shows some physical causes - specific cause only in 6-10%: -> prenatal insults e.g. rubella infection, metabolic disorders and postnatal infections eg encephalitis -> genetics - twin studies with MZ have a greater chance of concordance for social impairment (60%) than DZ twins -> genes on chromosomes 2q 7q 16p and 19p thought to be involved -> associated with cytogenetic abnormalities esp on chromosome 15 and in fragile X syndrome -> functional imagining shows abnormalities for face processing -> reduced size of temporal lobe, activation and white matter reduction -> task negative network - decrease in activation in specific brain areas when performing social/emotional tasks in autistics e.g. cognitively demanding tasks and behaviour involving a social/emotional component -> amygdala damaged - difficulty recognising emotion -> Ubiquitin pathways are more common The diagnostic criteria has derived through a general agreement There is no test for autism - hard to define diagnostic cut offs because variation person to person (for symptoms, manifestation of core behaviours etc)Kanner 1943 - Early Descriptions of Autism 11 children with preference for solitude, high intelligence and a desire for sameness, avoidance of social contact, preference for inanimate objects proposed as a form of childhood schizophrenia Hans Asperger 1944 Found similar descriptions to Kanner but children could talk - 'Autism with speech'Diagnosis of Autism broadened since 1940's when it was first introduced Refined by Wing and Gould in terms of a triad of impairment Wing and Gould Triad of Impairment: 3 core domains of behaviour are impaired so considerable variation between individuals - diversity, quality of heterogeneity What are the 3 core domains of behaviour? deficits in social interaction deficits in language and communication imagination - restricted and repetitive behaviours and interests ASD - if impaired in all 3 areas Spectrum disorder different levels of severity allows people to fit the scale somewhere - universal implies several dimensions that need to be described to give a complete picture of an individual autistic continuum - shows traits and levels of severity Is autism more common in boys or girls? 4x more common in boys its a lot harder to study in girls but it can present in the same way with hair or fashion girls mature more quickly and tend to like to be neat, have order etc so symptoms harder to spot What is the CHAT? A checklist for autism in toddlers - helps parents follow development of child and spot difficulties as they arise When does a child begin to develop autism? - develops in the first 2 years of life - onset of first concerns about 18 months - diagnosis can be made reliably at 2-3 years of age Issues associated with social interaction Unusual use of eye gaze - aren't able to modulate eye contact and use it in the right way dependant on context Gesture - lack of gesture use appropriately or in the way we would expect Posture - in terms of social interactions - tucked up and not facing someone when they're talking to you Facial expression - not using facial expression with the same intentions as we would or in the same context (reading in minds eyes) Lack of reciprocal social/emotional interest in others (To M) Delayed development of pointing Turn taking - don't respond or react to an utterance aimed to gain a reciprocal cannot understand social signals and behaviours Autism spectrum quotient (AQ) measures autistic traits Baron Cohen - reading in the minds eyes test Participants are asked to judge the emotion emitted in a photo showing eyes only Aspergers sufferers, high functioning autistics with good IQ and control were the participants Found that the exerimental group were significantly impaired compared to the control group -

they say in the basket if no To M because thats what they know, unable to understand that sally's perspective is different ** associated with language not age as much and shows how autism affects the ability to see things as a whole Language and communication difficulties include delay in or absence of spoken language development difficulty with comprehension - understanding irony and humour take everything said literally Repetition Echolalia Idiosyncratic language - learnt phrases unusual intonation/stress skills in modulating this ability no response - to name for example deficient non verbal communication eg pointing perseveration - uncontrolled repetition in unrelated context neologisms/jargon pragmatic understanding - deictic words, time words, humour, sarcasm, metaphor etc Aspergers Syndrome An autism spectrum disorder considered to be on the high functioning end of the scale - development of language not delayed but use of language impaired -difficulty with comprehension - understanding irony and humour - take everything said literally Echolalia delayed (said later in the day) versus immediate repetition of the phrase or word said by parent or caregiveridiosyncratic language learnt phrases, using phrases out of context e.g. citing things from a disney movie shows a child is trying to communicate but uses words they know/like because this is the only skill they have to be able to do it or that calms them down - in a social setting it is inappropriate Repetitive/restrictive behaviours and interests in more severely impaired or younger children focus on the sensory experience - hand movements linked to light - getting the sensory input that does something for them - either calms them or heightens mood and behaviour motor mannerisms - stereotypical absence of pretend or imaginative play Repetitive/restrictive behaviours and interests in more able or older individuals topics of preoccupation e.g. moving a water bottle for hours - sensory experience, in order to process sensory information e.g. like to rub labels on clothes and touch things, squeeze toys - a process of regulation difficulties with flexible thinking - can't see things from different perspectives (To M) Cant see things as a whole - concentrate on parts of an object rather than the whole thing unusual or limited imaginative play - favourite topics only e.g. trains can appear like OCDPlay and Autism Most research indicates children don't know how to play but more recent research indicates that children put in different contexts can play imaginatively but do so in different ways Modern Clinical definition ->DSM changed in 2013 ->Now use diagnostic term 'Autism Spectrum Disorder' not autism or aspergers - identify all needs someone has and how these affect their lives Now 2 domains of the triad ->Conflation of 2 domains of the triad - ASD now diagnosed according to 'social communication and interaction' and 'restricted and repetitive behaviour'what are dimensional elements -> includes dimensional elements that give an indication of how much someone's condition affects them and the support they need New diagnostic terms - social communication disorder difficulties with verbal and non verbal communication that can't be explained by low cognitive ability includes difficulties in learning and using spoken and written language and inappropriate responses in conversation New diagnosis now includes 3 levels, what are they? 1) requiring support 2) requiring substantial support 3) requiring very substantial support in attempt to differentiate levels of severity and insure people get the support they need Problems with the new diagnosis level of detail and consistency of the new 3 support levels in relation to the DSM - absence of sensory aspects and criteria for severity not outlined linking diagnosis to support may create expectations for people that services will be provided when this isn't always the case Why is there a new diagnosis? because there wasn't enough evidence to show definite distinction between aspergers syndrome and high functioning ASDDoes it affect people who already have a diagnosis?"

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is a neurobehavioral disorder characterized by a combination of inattentiveness, distractibility, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Five to seven percent of children are diagnosed with this developmental disorder. Some simply cannot concentrate; others become disruptive, defiant and have trouble getting along with parents, peers, or teachers. ADHD is controversial. Is it a true disorder or a collection of naturally occurring behaviors that aren't tolerated in today’s high-demand world? Furthermore, there are competing theories about what, if anything, triggers ADHD in the brain, although executive functioning (attention, emotion regulation, and decision-making) is invariably affected. Up to 50 percent of children eventually outgrow the condition, but even if so, early developmental delays may create enduring learning problems. Experts disagree over whether treatment should be behavioral (training of attention, increased play, greater structure) or pharmacological (stimulants such as Ritalin and Adderall ), although a combination of both may work best. Managing work, school, and household tasks can be very challenging for people with ADD and ADHD."

When I was fifteen I was diagnosed by my pediatrician with ADD and he prescribed Adderall. I took this for a month, but never returned for treatment and refills of the medication. I didn't think it could possibly be ADD/ADHD, so I dismissed the notion for years. My current diagnosis is social and general anxiety with depressions. But ultimately, I think this comes from my ADD/ADHD symptoms, and they are not the core issue. But I'm not sure, obviously, and have yet to ask my psychiatrist. I've posted on this site before, asking if I might have narcissistic personality disorder (or even a form of sociopathy), but I was told I fit either a \"\"self-actualizer\"\" or autistic (Asperger's syndrome). I didn't really resonate with the first one, but I'd long considered Asperger's syndrome a possibility, though doctors told me I couldn't have it because of my ability to communicate and function well. So I asked in that forum, and there wasn't a lot of replies to my thread."

"text": "\"Printer-friendly Version Every year the National Information Center for Children and Youth with Disabilities (NICHCY) receives thousands of requests for information about the education and special needs of children and youth with Attention-Deficit Disorder (ADHD, ADD/ADHD). Over the past several years, ADD or A. D. D. (ADHD, ADD/ADHD) has received a tremendous amount of attention from parents, professionals, and policymakers across the country - so much so, in fact, that nearly everyone has now heard about ADD or A. D. D.. While helpful to those challenged by this disability, such widespread recognition creates the possibility of improper diagnostic practice and inappropriate treatment. Now, more than ever, parents who suspect their child might have ADHD (A. D. D., ADD/ADHD, ADD-ADHD, A. D. D.) and parents of children diagnosed with the disorder need to evaluate information, products, and practitioners carefully. This NICHCY Briefing Paper is intended to serve as a guide to help parents and educators know what ADHD (A. D. D., ADD/ADHD, ADD-ADHD, A. D. D.) is, what to look for, and what to do. While acknowledging that adults, too, can have ADHD (ADD/ADHD, ADD-ADHD, A. D. D.), this paper focuses on the disorder as it relates to children and youth. What is Attention-Deficit Disorder? ADD is officially called Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, or AD/HD (American Psychiatric Association, 1994), although most lay people, and even some professionals, still call it ADD or A. D. D. (the names given in 1980) or ADHD . The disorder's name has changed as a result of scientific advances and the findings of careful field trials; researchers now have strong evidence to support the position that AD/HD [ A. D. D. or ADHD ] [as we will refer to the disorder throughout the remainder of this Briefing Paper] is not one specific disorder with different variations. In keeping with this evidence, AD/HD [ A. D. D. OR ADHD ] is now divided into three subtypes, according to the main features associated with the disorder: inattentiveness, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. The three subtypes are: AD/HD [ A. D. D. OR ADHD ] Predominantly Combined Type,AD/HD [ A. D. D. OR ADHD ] Predominantly Inattentive Type, and AD/HD [ A. D. D. OR ADHD ] Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Type."

Most children aren’t checked for ADHD until they’re school age, but kids as young as 4 can be diagnosed, according to guidelines set by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). At that age, many kids are active and impulsive. So what’s different about kids with ADHD? And if your young child has ADHD, how is it treated? Stand Out From Other Tots Compared to other kids their age, children with ADHD often have a harder time sitting still, even for a few minutes. They are unable to wait their turn -- blurting out answers or cutting to the front of the line, for example -- and they may talk excessively.\"\" Young kids with ADHD are incredibly active all the time,\"\" says James Perrin, MD, a pediatrics professor at Harvard Medical School. \"\" Most 4-year-olds are very active in general, but they settle down -- take naps, sit for meals.

For the class of psychiatric disorders, see Impulse control disorder. Inhibitory control, also known as response inhibition, is a cognitive process that permits an individual to inhibit their impulses and natural, habitual, or dominant behavioral responses to stimuli ( a.k.a. prepotent responses) in order to select a more appropriate behavior that is consistent with completing their goals. [ 1] [2] For example, successfully suppressing the natural behavioral response to eat cake when one is craving it while dieting requires the use of inhibitory control. [ 2]Inhibitory control is an executive function and self-control is an important aspect of inhibitory control. [ 1] [2] [3] [4] [5] The prefrontal cortex, caudate nucleus, and subthalamic nucleus are known to be involved in inhibitory control cognition. [ 2] [3]Inhibitory control is impaired in both addiction and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. [ 2] [3] [6] In healthy adults and ADHD individuals, inhibitory control improves over the short term with low (therapeutic) doses of methylphenidate or amphetamine. [ 1] [7] Inhibitory control may also be improved over the long-term via consistent aerobic exercise. ["

"text": "Restricted diets can help children with ADHD, study suggests November 29, 2012 by Bettina Different foods trigger different behavioral problems and should be monitored, according to paper in the Lancet* Sarah Boseley, health editor * The Guardian, Friday 4 February 2011 * Article history Ritalin is widely used to treat children diagnosed with ADHD, but a paper in the Lancet suggests changing diet may be as effective. Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), who are impulsive, inattentive and unable to sit still, should be put on a restricted diet for several weeks to establish whether particular foods are the cause, scientists say today. Certain foods and additives can worsen the behavior of some children, although guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (Nice) say there is no proof that cutting out fatty acids, food colorings or additives can help. A paper published today in the Lancet medical journal establishes that food is responsible for ADHD children’s erratic and difficult behavior in many cases, although it is likely that different foods trigger behavioral problems in different children. The findings are likely to be welcomed by those who are concerned about the amount of drug treatment given to children with ADHD. Researchers from the Netherlands put 50 children with ADHD on a “restricted elimination diet” consisting of foods with the least possible risk of allergic reaction – a combination of rice, meat, vegetables, pears and water – which was tailored to the preferences of each child. A second group of 50 children were not put on a diet, but their parents were given advice on healthy eating and asked to keep a diary of everything their child ate. The behavior of 78% of the 41 children who completed the five-week restricted diet phase improved, while the behavior of those who were not on a special diet remained the same. Researchers then tried adding particular foods high in immunoglobulin G (Ig G), antibodies known to trigger allergic responses, to the restricted diet. They subsequently added foods that were low in Ig G – to find out whether blood tests for the antibodies could be used to identify foods that trigger ADHD."

The newest and most comprehensive that I have found to date is http://www.foodcomp.dk/fcdb_alphlist.asp. Another ishttp://www.whfoods.com/foodstoc.php . In the latter, simply click on the food you are inquiring about, then scroll down toward the bottom of the page until you see the chart in the Nutritional Profile section. There is a click-on link after that chart (just above the References section) that reads “In Depth Nutritional Profile for (chosen food)” . Click on that link and then just scroll done to the aspartate and glutamate listings. Make note of the serving size at the top of the chart so that you’ll be making an accurate comparison."

"text": "What is the Cause of Inattentive ADHDThe cause of Inattentive ADHD used to be a total mystery. Psychiatrist would tell patients and parents that no one knew for sure what caused ADHD. Some psychiatrist still tell patients and parents this but the truth is that we know a lot more about what causes Inattentive ADHD today then we did even a year ago. There is a great book on the causes of ADHD and I will mention it at the end of this post but let me give you the basic of what we know, so far, of the causes of Inattentive ADHD. There is no one cause of Inattentive ADHD. There are thought to be many factors that contribute to this problem. Researchers, over the past 60 years have been exploring the causes of ADHD and now know that what is happening in the brain is a complex interplay of many factors including: Genetic factors Neurotransmitter factors Brain factors Environmental Exposure factors Dietary factors Lifestyle factors Maternal and Fetal factors There is not one gene that causes Inattentive ADHD (ADHD-PI). There are many genes that can lead to these Inattentive and disorganization symptoms. It will take many years to sort out the genetics of Inattentive ADHD but it looks as though the genetic picture of someone with Inattentive ADHD in China will look different from the genetic picture of someone with ADHD-PI from Chicago or from Iran. We also now know that there is not likely just one gene but perhaps several that can all cause symptoms of Inattentive ADHD."

It typically causes symptoms of bloating, flatulence, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Avoidance of milk and other dairy products alleviates most symptoms of lactose intolerance. Lactose molecules cannot be directly absorbed by the body. Therefore, lactose has to be split into smaller molecules in order to be absorbed and transported across the wall of the intestines. Normally, lactose is broken up by an enzyme (protein that expedites chemical reactions in the body) called lactase. This enzyme is located on the lining of the intestines (the brush border) and helps to break up lactose into its smaller carbohydrate components, glucose and galactose. These two smaller molecules are more easily absorbed by the body and used for metabolism. Lactose intolerance is caused by a deficiency of lactase in the intestinal wall. As a result, the entire lactose molecule travels undigested in the small and large intestines."

This is because there is a lack of information available on whether certain drugs are safe to use while nursing, due to ethical reasons. However, before you decide to stop breastfeeding, there are ways to determine the potential risks a medication might pose to your nursing infant. A Frustrating Lack of Information In this day and age of modern medicine and abundant scientific research, you'd think we'd know just about everything concerning medication safety for breastfeeding women. However, the actual situation couldn't be more different. We know almost nothing about the safety of many medications during breastfeeding, even ones that are commonly used. So what's a mother to do? Before you vow to avoid all medications, which is a common response to this issue in mothers, read this article to better understand how to find information and what to do when no information is available. Research on Drugs and Breastfeeding Quite often, women are frustrated to hear that no (or very little) information is available about the use of a particular drug during breastfeeding. They wonder if the scientific community just doesn't care about breastfeeding women and their babies."

( December 2015)The USB On-The-Go logo USB On-The-Go, often abbreviated to USB OTG or just OTG, is a specification first used in late 2001 that allows USB devices, such as tablets or smartphones, to act as a host, allowing other USB devices, such as USB flash drives, digital cameras, mice or keyboards, to be attached to them. Use of USB OTG allows those devices to switch back and forth between the roles of host and device. For instance, a mobile phone may read from removable media as the host device, but present itself as a USB Mass Storage Device when connected to a host computer. In other words, USB OTG introduces the concept of a device performing both master and slave roles – whenever two USB devices are connected and one of them is a USB OTG device, they establish a communication link. The device controlling the link is called the master or host, while the other is called the slave or peripheral."

Generally, USB refers to the types of cables and connectors used to connect these many types of external devices to computers. More About USBThe Universal Serial Bus standard has been extremely successful. USB ports and cables are used to connect hardware such as printers, scanners, keyboards, mice, flash drives, external hard drives, joysticks, cameras, and more to computers of all kinds, including desktops, tablets, laptops, netbooks, etc. In fact, USB has become so common that you'll find the connection available on nearly any computer-like device such as video game consoles, home audio/visual equipment, and even in many automobiles. Many portable devices, like smartphones, ebook readers, and small tablets, use USB primarily for charging. USB charging has become so common that it's now easy to find replacement electrical outlets at home improvement stores with USB ports built it, negating the need for a USB power adapter. USB Versions There have been three major USB standards, 3.1 being the newest: USB 3.1: Called Superspeed+, USB 3.1 compliant devices are able to transfer data at 10 Gbps (10,240 Mbps). USB 3.0: Called Super Speed USB, USB 3.0 compliant hardware can reach a maximum transmission rate of 5 Gbps (5,120 Mbps).

"text": "Home Buying Guides Video Games & Consoles Video Game Accessories Other Video Game Accessories Saitek X52 Flight Control USB Joystickoempowers 18 Likes Like October 31, 2007The best out there. Built strong with a full range of programmable buttons and the adjustable tension control on the joystick, it isn't difficult to make this very comfortable to use. There is a “mouse hat” thumb switch on the throttle assembly that is slaved to your mouse. When in the cockpit in games like Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142, this button can be set to either be “mouse look” or you can set it to give the different left, right, or rear camera views so you can see that opponent sneaking up in your blind spot. The ability to throttle just right while in a banking turn, then with ease, “look over your shoulder” and see directly behind you during a maneuver can mean the difference between victory or defeat in any flight simulator. Helicopters are the most fun to pilot using the Saitek X52 since the throttle and joystick controls make hovering while “sliding” left and right all while keeping the nose of the aircraft on target second nature. PROS – Full range of flight control, everyone you want in a throttle/joystick combo. CONS – Other than the price tag, there isn't a single negative feature that I could see stopping someone from buying this.

"text": "\"Difference Between Micro USB and Mini USBPosted on March 28, 2013 by admin Micro USB vs Mini USBUSB or Universal Serial Bus connectors are one of the most common interfaces used in connecting peripherals to computers. First USB was developed as an industry standard in mid 1990`s by the coalition of vendor companies Compaq, DEC, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, NEC, and Nortel. The standard defines cables, connectors, and communications protocols when connecting a device to a computer. It can play multiple roles; it acts as a bus in connection to computers for data communications between computer and devices. It can also be used as a power supply to a device. Three versions of the USB standard have been released up to now. USB1 was released in January 1996, known as Full Speed version; have speeds of 1.5 Mbit/s (Low-Bandwidth) and 12 Mbit/s (Full-Bandwidth). USB 2.0 was released in 2000 (known as High Speed version), where higher data transfer rates and many more features were introduced. USB became very popular after this release. The latest version of USB standard, which is USB 3.0 (known as Super Speed version), was released in November 2008, and the data transfer rate have been further upgraded in this release."

"text": "Difference between Mini USB and Micro USBTweet Key difference: Mini USB predates the micro USB and both have five pins. However, mini USB has a life cycle of 5,000 connects and disconnects, while, micro USB has a life cycle of at least 10,000 connects and disconnects. Also, micro USB is smaller than mini USB. In 1994, a group of seven companies began development on the Universal Serial Bus (USB). These were Compaq, DEC, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, NEC and Nortel. USB was developed with the intention to make it easier to connect external devices to computers. USB was meant to replace the number of various connectors at the back of computers, as every device had its own form of connector. The USB was meant to make an industry standard, a port for majority of the devices. Universal Serial Bus (USB) is an industry standard that defines the cables, connectors and communications protocols. It is used in a bus for connection, data communication and power supply between computers and electronic devices."

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

Using 8 pins instead of 30, Lightning is significantly more compact than the 30-pin dock connector and can be inserted with either side facing up.

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) was introduced in 1996 and has since become one of the most widespread and convenient interfaces for electronic devices. Compaq, DEC, IBM, Intel, NEC and Nortel contributed to the developments with the goal of simplifying the interconnection of peripheral devices to a PC, as well as to allow a greater data transfer rate than was feasible with earlier interfaces. The USB port can also be used to charge personal devices, but with a current limit of 500m A on the original design, this might have been an afterthought. A typical USB network consists of a host that is often a PC and peripherals such as a printer, smartphone or camera. Data streams in both directions but the power is unidirectional and always flows from the host to the device. The host cannot take power from an outside source. With 5V and 500m A available on version USB 1.0 and 2.0, and 900m A on USB 3.0, the USB can charge a small single-cell Li-ion pack. There is, however, a danger of overloading a USB hub when attaching too many gadgets. Charging a device that draws 500m A connected together with other loads will exceed the port’s current limit, leading to a voltage drop and a possible system failure."

"text": "If you can’t live without your cell phone or personal digital assistant (PDA), you’ll be pleased to hear that micro USB connectors will soon make these gadgets even more convenient to use. USB, which stands for Universal Serial Bus, is an external bus, or cable, standard used to connect peripheral devices, like keyboards, to computers. It's an alternative to its common predecessors, serial and parallel standards. After some time, USB technology was enhanced and reduced to a smaller size known as mini USB. The micro USB specification is now scheduled to replace mini USB connectors in many different types of portable devices, including cell phones and PDA's. Standard devices will use Micro-B receptacles, while USB OTG (On-The-Go) devices will use Micro-AB receptacles. Micro-A plugs, Micro-B plugs, and standard cables will also be available. The micro USB technology was developed by the USB Implementers Forum, Inc. (USB-IF), an independent non-profit group that works to advance USB technology. Nokia is one of many companies that will be using the micro USB specification in its upcoming products. When compared to the mini USB, the micro USB offers many advantages."

"text": "USB 3.1 vs 3.0 vs USB Type-C – What’s the difference?by Nikita Fedorov December 1, 2015 24 Comments Gaming, Hardware, Industry If you’ve spent time shopping or researching new consumer gadgets you will have heard about the new USB ports and standards. There’s USB 3.0 and 3.1, and then there’s something called USB-C, officially known as USB Type-C. You may be wondering what these are, whether they are the same thing, and what the difference is. How is USB 3.1 different from USB 3.0 or even 2.0? The USB, or Universal Serial Bus, is a port standard that has been around for nearly 20 years and is the most widely used. As there are so many devices that support USB, keeping up to date on the latest developments in this port, cable and standard is important. There are multiple improvements in the trusty USB port we’ve been using for so long. I’m sure we’ve all had difficulty plugging in a cable or flash drive because we’ve had it upside down. The new USB Type-C cable and port is reversible, so there is no “up” or “down,” and you can plug it in either way. There are other new features in USB, too, like ultra-fast data transfer speeds up to 10Gbps, and up to 100W of power – enough to charge a laptop, and even adding an HDMI or Display Port video signal into a single cable. This sounds great!"

It has become the standard connection method for wide variety of devices. Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a specification to establish communication between devices and a host controller (usually personal computer). Nowdays USB has replaced a variety of earlier PC interfaces (such as RS-232 serial or parallel port). Due to the ability to supply power to the preipheral devices USB is often used as a power charger for portable devices. An USB system architecture consists of a host controller, a USB ports, and multiple connected devices. Additional USB hubs may be included allowing branching into a tree structure with up to five tier levels. USB can connect computer peripherals such as mice, keyboards, digital cameras, PDA, mobile phones, printers, personal media players, flash drives, GPS, Network Adapters, and external hard drives. For many of those devices, USB has become the standard connection method. USB interface aimed to remove the need for adding expansion cards into the computer's PCI or PCI-Express bus, and improve plug-and-play capabilities by allowing devices to be hot swapped or added to the system without rebooting the computer."

By “one day,” of course I mean, “over the span of several months.” But all technicalities aside, the standard that they laid down became the Universal Serial Bus, or USB for short. Today, USB is truly a ‘Universal’ standard and you’d be hard-pressed to find an electronic device that doesn’t have a USB port of one kind or another.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For uses of the term \"\"grounding\"\" or \"\"earth\"\" in electricity but not in the context of mains wiring, see ground (electricity). As the neutral point of an electrical supply system is often connected to earth ground, ground and neutral are closely related. Under certain conditions, a conductor used to connect to a system neutral is also used for grounding (earthing) of equipment and structures. Current carried on a grounding conductor can result in objectionable or dangerous voltages appearing on equipment enclosures, so the installation of grounding conductors and neutral conductors is carefully defined in electrical regulations. Where a neutral conductor is used also to connect equipment enclosures to earth, care must be taken that the neutral conductor never rises to a high voltage with respect to local ground.

Even worse, as @Tester101 points out, if the neutral ever has a fault, everything will continue to work but you'll have all the current on the ground, which also means that you can now be electrocuted by touching the panel chassis, for example. The ground and neutral must be bonded only at one place (in the main panel) to avoid this. Subpanel main breaker A main breaker on a sub-panel is not necessary because this is in the same building (if you are in a different building then NEC 225.31, 225.32, 225.33 apply). That said, having a main breaker in the sub-panel is also acceptable. For whatever reason (economy of scale, I guess) \"\"main\"\" panels are often sold cheaper.

Should this be happening with a new electrical service? Visibly dimming lights shouldn’t be happening whether you have a new service or not, but is probably not related to the service. People often mistakenly believe that a house with a new electrical service has new wiring throughout the house. Not so. The service normally only includes the cable that mounts on the outside of the house, the meter box and the distribution panel, or breaker box. Replacing all the wiring in a house is a much more expensive proposition than replacing the service. Your problem probably relates to the wiring, not the service. The wiring providing power to the refrigerator, also serves the lighting, and probably other receptacles in the kitchen. The wire is too small to provide sufficient current to all the outlets, thus causing the lights to dim."

I gather the impression that all sub-panels downstream from the service entrance are typically main lug and that these have to have a \"\"service disconnect\"\". In another recent post here, I mentioned some Square D QO 200 amp \"\"feed-thru\"\" load centers I'm using in our shop. If I'm not mistaken, these load centers can be converted from main breaker to main lug by simply removing the main breaker. My concern is that I may be using the downstream boxes incorrectly because I have passed the entire 200 amps from the service entrance box to an identical box on the opposite side of an outside wall.

However now we are just gonna go for a flat top (who wants to go through the hassle of trying to clean a burner) a regular electric flat top. I am not sure if that would change the plan or not. The guy did however say that we probably could get away with a 40amp/8-3 wire. but that the stove wouldnt give us the same power as using the 50amp/6-3 ... with your comment I wonder what would be proper. Do you by chance or anyone by chance know how I determine (depending on the stove I get) what would be the proper amp/wire ??? any help on this would be appreciated as this is the month I finally am gonna get my electric stove and go for TOTAL ELECTRIC ...

"text": "home > pooldawg academy > Mike Feiman > The ultimate pool cue tip guide The Ultimate Pool Cue Tip Guide Posted by : Mike Feiman When you look at the number of pool cue tips there are available today, it can be extremely overwhelming. That's why we've created the ultimate pool cue tip guide. Using a digital durometer, we're going through the process of determining the tip density for every pool cue tip we carry. As to the advantages and disadvantages of the different densities, at its most basic level, the softer the pool cue tip, the more likely it is to mushroom or flatten out with each hit of the cue ball. What this means is that a soft tip will require more maintenance than a harder tip. Players that prefer a soft tip believe there is a relation between tip softness and English. The theory is that softer tips allow for more English and control over the ball. In addition, softer tips are typically easier to scuff and have better chalk retention. Harder tips on the other hand, require far less maintenance than soft tips. They hold their shape and don't mushroom as quickly, so you'll be replacing your tip far less often when you go with a hard tip over a soft."

There are also hybrid pocket/carom games such as English billiards. Contents [ hide ]Definitions and language 1–9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W Y Z References Definitions and language [ edit]The term \"\" billiards \"\" is sometimes used to refer to all of the cue sports, to a specific class of them, or to specific ones such as English billiards; this article uses the term in its most generic sense unless otherwise noted. The labels \"\" British \"\" and \"\" UK \"\" as applied to entries in this glossary refer to terms originating in the UK and also used in countries that were fairly recently part of the British Empire and/or are part of the Commonwealth of Nations, as opposed to US (and, often, Canadian) terminology. The terms \"\"American\"\" or \"\"US\"\" as applied here refer generally to North American usage. However, due to the predominance of US-originating terminology in most internationally competitive pool (as opposed to snooker), US terms are also common in the pool context in other countries in which English is at least a minority language, and US (and borrowed French) terms predominate in carom billiards. Similarly, British terms predominate in the world of snooker, English billiards and blackball, regardless of the players' nationalities. The term \"\"blackball\"\" is used in this glossary to refer to both blackball and eight-ball pool as played in the Commonwealth, as a shorthand. Blackball was chosen because it is less ambiguous (\"\"eight-ball pool\"\" is too easily confused with the related \"\" eight-ball \"\"), and blackball is globally standardized by an International Olympic Committee -recognized governing body, the World Pool-Billiard Association (WPA); meanwhile, its ancestor, eight-ball pool, is largely a folk game, like North American bar pool, and to the extent that its rules have been codified, they have been done so by competing authorities with different rulesets. ( For the same reason, the glossary's information on eight-ball and nine-ball draws principally on the stable WPA rules, because there are many competing amateur leagues and even professional tours with divergent rules for these games. )"

In general, to get good draw action, you must hit the CB both low and hard. Probably the best advice to accomplish this is to keep your grip relaxed and smoothly accelerate the cue into the ball (i.e., don't jerk or rush the transition from the final backstroke to forward stroke) to create good follow-through. A longer bridge length can help create more power without jerkiness. A closed bridge might help you achieve a lower tip position without adding cue elevation (which can decrease accuracy), especially if you have large hands. More stroke advice can be found here. Also, make sure you have a good tip that is well shaped and textured so it holds chalk. Also, be sure to chalk up before each shot. If you are having trouble with your draw stroke, make sure you are being careful with the following: As with any off-center hit, make sure there is an even layer of chalk over the entire tip, especially close to the edges."

"text": "#1Sodapop Senior Member Members360 posts Gender: Male Location: Windsor Posted 23 May 2005 - 08:34 PMHey Larry I read in the book Science of Pocket and Billiards that you should use as heavy a cue as possible, because it would make you a better shot maker because your stroke would be less wobbly, and the follow through would be more automatic, and the english would be greater because the tip would stick to the cue ball longer. So I use to play with a falcon before i bought my PP Meucci, so I experimented, I bought every size weight bolt for it and played with every different weight for a different period of time. What I realized was that with too heavy of a cue it was hard to control the follow through, which gave me less cue ball control. it was pretty good for using high english but hard to use for draw, especially when in close and you just wanted a little nip, or snap shot. I found the best weight for me was having no weight bolt at all in the cue, which was pretty light my cue ball control was way better, because I could control the follow through. So the reason i'm writing this is, I just bought the PP Meucci which is 19 ounces it's heavier then my falcon, I seem to have a little bit of trouble controlling the follow through, i'm thinking of selling it and buying a different weight possibly 18.5 or 18 ounce i'm not exactly sure of the weight of my falcon but the weight is perfect for me it might even be less then 18. Do you think a half ounce will make that much of a difference or am I just dreaming. Plus do any men pro's use a cue less then 18 or is that way to light. Should I sell my new Meucci & get a lighter cue, or is 19 ounce a good weight that I just need to get use to. I find it harder to control the speed of the cue ball with a heavy cue compared to a light cue. ["

A cue's balance point is its center of gravity, which is the point at which you can balance the cue (e.g., if you support it on a finger). Obviously, the balance point needs to be in front of the grip hand; otherwise, the front of the cue would lift up off an open bridge. Other than that, the balance point is mostly unimportant (except for personal preference based on \"\"feel\"\"). The balance point certainly does not impact shot effectiveness, even for follow shots with an open bridge. The CB is long gone before the bridge even feels the effect of the tip-CB collision, as demonstrated in part 2 of the following video: NV B.96 - Grip and bridge technique and advice Now, a shaft that is heavy on the front end (moving the balance point forward) will affect cue ball deflection, which does affect shots with sidespin. For more info, see the squirt endmass resource page.cleaning How do you clean and maintain a cue? Wiping with a damp rag and rubbing dry with a dry rag usually does the trick fairly well, especially if done regularly.

It is used to strike a ball, usually the cue ball. Cues are tapered sticks, typically about 57–59 inches (about 1.5 m) long and usually between 16 and 21 ounces (450–600 g), with professionals gravitating toward a 19-ounce (540 g) average. Cues for carom tend toward the shorter range, though cue length is primarily a factor of player height and arm length.

As such, American pool, snooker, the various forms of carom (pocketless-tabled) billiards, English pool, are all considered \"\"billiards\"\". Billards comes in two major varieties: pocket billiards and carom billiards. Pocket billiard games are played on tables with pockets, whereas carom billiards games are played on tables that have no pockets. In pocket billiards, the objectives of the particular game are usually to pocket balls. In carom billiards, the objectives are more towards moving the object balls around the table with the cue ball in a particular fashion. For example, 3-cushion billiards demands that to score a point one must hit the cue ball into an object ball and that object ball must travel to 3 cushions of the table before striking the second object ball. Failing to strike three cushions or the second object ball results in the end of your inning. Pool refers to a set of pocket billiard games played with with one cue ball and 15 object balls on a table with six straight-edged pockets and knife-edged rails. The table sizes range from 3 feet by 6 feet to 5 feet by 10 feet."

The term “regulation” is often confused with “tournament”. Regulation actually means the table’s width is half of the overall length. 3.5’ by 7’, 4’ by 8’, and 4.5’ by 9’. are the standard sizes for pool tables. When you turn on the TV, most of the time the professionals are playing on 9’ tables. However, 19 out of 20 tables sold to home users are 8’ tables. An 8’ is generally easier for recreational-level players and kids to play on, but is large enough to still be challenging to the advanced player."

While it may seem like a cue only has two parts, it actually has quite a few different parts. We hope this easy to understand diagram and guide will help you become more familiar with your pool cue. We'll start from the top of the cue and work our way down. TIP The tip is the part of your pool cue that you use to strike the cue ball. It is typically made of leather and is 13mm in size. There are tips that are as small as 11mm and as large as 14mm. Tips also vary in hardness which affects how the cue ball is hit: - To produce a more powerful hit, you would want to use a harder tip. -"

"text": "Edit Article How to Install Pool Cue Tips When the tip of a pool cue becomes thin and worn down, you can replace and install the tip yourself to improve and maintain your billiards play. A pool cue tip can be installed using a few common household items. Steps1 Use a razor blade, sharp knife, or pliers to either cut or pull off the old tip from the end of the cue. [ 1] The cue tip is made entirely from leather, and is located at the end of your pool cue on top of the ferrule, which is the metal ring or cap located just under the tip.2 Scrape off any remaining old glue from the ferrule using your blade or knife.3 Use 60 to 80 grit sandpaper to sand down and smooth the end of the pool cue to make the surface as even as possible.4 Apply a small amount of nail polish remover to a paper towel. Nail polish remover contains acetone, which is a solvent that will help remove and dissolve any remaining glue and leftover residue from the old tip.5 Wipe any remaining residue from the cue tip and bottom shaft areas using the paper towel to prepare for the installation of a new pool cue tip.6 Place the new tip flat side down on a piece of 400 to 600 fine grit sandpaper. [ 2]7 Use slight, but even pressure to sand the tip using the sandpaper until the tip is smooth on the back side.8 Place the tip on the end of the cue to verify that the tip lies flat across the top of the ferrule.9 Apply a few drops of glue to the top of the pool shaft. The glue should be able to completely cover the tip at the time the cue tip is applied.10 Place the cue tip flat side down on the shaft and make adjustments as necessary so that the tip lines up in the center.11 Use a paper towel to wipe away any glue residue that escapes from the sides of the cue tip and shaft.12 Allow the shaft to sit for at least one hour or until the glue dries.13 Use the fine grit sandpaper to gently sand the edges of the tip to make it smooth for billiards play.14 Use sandpaper or a tip shaper tool to shape the cue as desired. Your pool cue will now be ready for use. [ 3]You're helping people by reading wiki Howwiki How's mission is to help people learn, and we really hope this article helped you.

"text": "How to re-tip a snooker and pool cue3 Replies A WELL MADE CUE IS NO GOOD WITHOUT A GOOD TIP ! As we have previously mentioned in our coaching DVD’s, the tip is the only part of the cue permitted to strike the cue-ball, so it is one of the most important parts of the cue. There are many different kinds of tips, but we recommend `Blue Diamond` or `Elkmaster`, both are good quality tips which will hold the chalk well, and also `bite` into the cue for the more difficult `Side` and `Backspin` shots. On many of the cheaper cues, the tips are hard and you will not be able to get the same ball control, so one of the first things you can do to improve your cue action and win more matches is to change the tip. We often get asked for advise on how to do this, so we have included below some simple instructions. There is more then one way to re-tip a cue, some players use `cue clamps`, but beware, some clamps can damage your shaft, and they are not really necessary, so our instructions below does not include them.1. What you will need; A sharp knife, a piece of sandpaper, some glue. With regards the glue, we supply `Tweetens` tip glue if you prefer, but to be honest, we fit hundreds of tips and use Loctite Super Glue. If you can find the `gel` format it will be easier to apply, and will help avoid putting on too much which might soak into the leather tip and make it harder then it should be.2. Remove the tip with a sharp knife and rub the top of the ferule with some sandpaper so remove any of the old tip and leave a good surface to apply the new tip to."

Learning how crude oil formed and understanding the variations of crude oil can lead to a better understanding of how crude oil commodities drive the oil industry. Ancient History Ocean plants and animals that lived millions of years ago settled on the bottom of the sea when they died. Their bodies were covered with sediment over time, and they were compressed by intense heat and pressure. Over the years, the remains turned into a yellowish-black substance known as crude oil. The same process also created the natural gas that is used today. The only way to reach these pockets of crude oil is by drilling deep into the earth. Oil rigs called derricks drill down into the earth's crust and open up access to the crude oil. Pumps, pipes and other mechanical means bring the crude oil to the surface, where it is sent to refineries to separate the crude oil from other elements. Chemical Composition Depending on the types of plants and animals that created the crude oil pocket, the crude oil contains a different chemical makeup."

Evaporation is the phase change from liquid to the gas state. It's constantly occurring in the environment. Unlike evaporation, distillation is not a naturally occurring process. However, phase changes from liquid to gas and back to liquid occur during distillation. Evaporation Process If molecules of a liquid gain enough energy in the form of heat from the environment, they turn into vapor. Evaporation occurs on the surface of a liquid, not throughout the whole body or volume. When evaporation occurs, the pressure of the vapor is lower than the pressure of the surrounding atmosphere. Condensation is the opposite of evaporation. It takes place when the temperature of the vapor cools, causing the vapor to condense back into liquid form."

Full Answer Boiling the contaminants out of water requires elevating the temperature beyond water's boiling point and capturing the steam that forms. As that cools, it becomes the distilled water, and the leftover elements are the contaminants. One problem with distillation is that pesticides and other toxins have lower boiling points than water, meaning that those elements end up in the steam as well.

"text": "\"Brandy Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Background The name brandy comes from the Dutch word brandewijn, meaning \"\"burnt wine.\"\" The name is apt as most brandies are made by applying heat, originally from open flames, to wine. The heat drives out and concentrates the alcohol naturally present in the wine. Because alcohol has a lower boiling point (172°F, 78°C) than water (212'F, 100°C), it can be boiled off while the water portion of the wine remains in the still. Heating a liquid to separate components with different boiling points is called heat distillation. While brandies are usually made from wine or other fermented fruit juices, it can be distilled from any liquid that contains sugar. All that is required is that the liquid be allowed to ferment and that the resulting mildly-alcoholic product not be heated past the boiling point of water. The low-boiling point liquids distilled from wine include almost all of the alcohol, a small amount of water, and many of the wine's organic chemicals. It is these chemicals that give brandy its taste and aroma. Almost every people have their own national brandy, many of which are not made from wine: grappa in Italy is made from grape skins, slivivitz in Poland is made from plums, shochu in Japan is made from rice, and bourbon in the United States is made from corn."

However, before we begin a discussion of distillation, it would probably be beneficial to define the terms that describe the process and related properties. Many of these are terms that you are familiar with but the exact definitions may not be known to you. Let us begin by describing the process by which a substance is transformed from the condensed phase to the gas phase. For a liquid, this process is called vaporization and for a solid it is called sublimation. Both processes require heat. This is why even on a hot day at the beach, if there is a strong breeze blowing, it may feel cool or cold after you come out of the water. The wind facilitates the evaporation process and you supply some of the heat that is required. All substances regardless of whether they are liquids or solids are characterized by a vapor pressure. The vapor pressure of a pure substance is the pressure exerted by the substance against the external pressure which is usually atmospheric pressure."

Distillation is the separation or partial separation of a liquid feed mixture into components or fractions by selective boiling (or evaporation) and condensation. The process produces at least two output fractions. These fractions include at least one volatile distillate fraction, which has boiled and been separately captured as a vapor condensed to a liquid, and practically always a bottoms (or residuum) fraction, which is the least volatile residue that has not been separately captured as a condensed vapor. An alternative to continuous distillation is batch distillation, where the mixture is added to the unit at the start of the distillation, distillate fractions are taken out sequentially in time (one after another) during the distillation, and the remaining bottoms fraction is removed at the end. Because each of the distillate fractions are taken out at different times, only one distillate exit point (location) is needed for a batch distillation and the distillate can just be switched to a different receiver, a fraction-collecting container. Batch distillation is often used when smaller quantities are distilled. In a continuous distillation, each of the fraction streams is taken simultaneously throughout operation; therefore, a separate exit point is needed for each fraction. In practice when there are multiple distillate fractions, the distillate exit points are located at different heights on a fractionating column. The bottoms fraction can be taken from the bottom of the distillation column or unit, but is often taken from a reboiler connected to the bottom of the column."

These methods include absorbent filter media and regenerable adsorbent packings and the like. In many cases, it is not economical or practical to use disposable media, and as a result, continuous scrubbing processes have been developed. These processes are available in a variety of designs and are universally referred to as oil reclamation systems. The most common scrubbers are derivatives of vacuum distillation processes used in refineries. The process involves expanding oil to produce high surface area to facilitate the vaporous extraction of water and certain other contaminants. Distillation involves heating, vaporization, condensation and cooling of vapors. Distillation separates components of a liquid mixture by partial vaporization and separate recovery of the vapor and liquid residue. The more volatile components, water for instance, convert to the vaporous state while the less volatile components remain as a liquid (the oil).

We cover the cycle of vaporization, cooling, and condensation that is the basis for the process. You will also learn what laboratory apparatus you need to perform the procedures involved. Definition of Distillation Have you ever admired the shapes of clouds? Clouds form when water vapor in the atmosphere rises and meets cool air. The cool air causes the water to then condense into droplets. The same process of condensation is at work during distillation, which is essentially when a liquid is purified through temperature changes. The condensation that results when a warm vapor cools is a key process in distillation. You might have also heard of distillation as the method to produce alcoholic spirits. In chemistry (which is what we're really talking about here), it can really be any liquid, as the definition earlier suggested."

"text": "Simple distillation is a procedure by which two liquids with different boiling points can be separated. Simple distillation (the procedure outlined below) can be used effectively to separate liquids that have at least fifty degrees difference in their boiling points. As the liquid being distilled is heated, the vapors that form will be richest in the component of the mixture that boils at the lowest temperature. Purified compounds will boil, and thus turn into vapors, over a relatively small temperature range (2 or 3°C); by carefully watching the temperature in the distillation flask, it is possible to affect a reasonably good separation. As distillation progresses, the concentration of the lowest boiling component will steadily decrease. Eventually the temperature within the apparatus will begin to change; a pure compound is no longer being distilled. The temperature will continue to increase until the boiling point of the next-lowest-boiling compound is approached. When the temperature again stabilizes, another pure fraction of the distillate can be collected. This fraction of distillate will be primarily the compound that boils at the second lowest temperature. This process can be repeated until all the fractions of the original mixture have been separated."

What is Distillation? Before explaining what an azeotrope is, it would be useful to define the process of distillation. The process of distillation relies on the fact that the different components of a mixture will boil and therefore vaporize at different temperatures. This is possible because the various ingredients of the mixture have different boiling points. During distillation, a liquid mixture is boiled at a certain temperature and a component of the mixture is vaporized and collected. The rest of the mixture remains in a liquid state. Following this procedure one or more components can be separated from the rest and then cooled and condensed. When applying the distillation process to sea water, the water will evaporate as soon as the temperature reaches its boiling point. The residue will mostly consist of salt, and the condensed vapor is nothing but pure water."

"text": "You are here: Home > What is the difference between a PWM and MPPT charge controller? What is the difference between a PWM and MPPT charge controller?73 Votes For This Project Tweet What is the difference between a PWM and MPPT charge controller? Pulse-Width Modulating (PWM) charge controllers use complex algorithms to determine the amount of charge going to a battery and slowly taper off charging as the battery becomes full. One of the greatest advantages of PWM controllers is that they have been around for many years, are cheaper, and are available in a wider variety of sizes for different applications. Some drawbacks of using a PWM controller are that when sizing a system the controller must match the voltage of the battery bank, and PWM controllers are normally limited to 60 amps maximum. Multiple Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controllers take into account the fact that a solar panel sometimes puts out variable output due to weather conditions, and can automatically match the voltage it is producing to the voltage of the battery in order to maximize charging efficiency. MPPT controllers have the capacity to handle more than PWM controllers and can go up to 80 amps, and allow for more expansion within the system. The main drawback is that MPPT charge controllers are much more expensive than PWM controllers. When choosing between a controller it is important to gauge the size of the system. At a smaller scale, the difference in efficiency between PWM and MPPT controllers may not be noticeable enough to justify the price difference between the two controllers, but on very large systems the efficiency plays a much larger role in how well the system will perform."

Firstly there are two different types of set-ups Off Grid and On Grid. If you live remotely and want your own independent power source then you want an Off Grid set-up. If you have a house and are connected to the mains electricity grid then you probably want to use an On Grid set-up, unless you want to use solar to become independent from the grid and have your own power. As the majority of our customers are off grid we will start with that. Off Grid Off grid set-ups allow you to live remotely whether it’s in a van, boat, or remote house you can generate your own power and live independently. The most important thing to start with is working out how much power you use or need. You need to consider your power as a valuable resource and design your power usage to be as efficient as possible. Or you can install a huge system to power a normal house with full appliances if you have the budget to do so. So to start with you want to estimate your power usage and then work out the size of solar system that you might need."

What we did know was that we didn't want to spend a bunch of money on a battery and solar system until we lived the lifestyle awhile. It took us two years on the road to determine we wanted to upgrade to an electrical system that would allow us to live for about a week at a time (two weeks at most) without electrical hook-ups. It was never our intent to be serious boondockers, but it takes a pretty good system even to make it a week without having to be really conservative. We have no problem conserving, but the less we have to do, the better. :) We knew we could easily hang out for a week on our holding tanks and our fresh water capacity, but our pitiful single house battery was just not cutting it. And we certainly didn't want to run our generator all the time. So we made the decision to phase-in our electrical upgrade. Let's begin the discussion of the details including our costs.

I've looked through the manual and its only saying that the Motherboard has CPU header (4 pins), Optional CPU header (4 pins), 3 system fans (4 pins) and anoth system fan (3 pin). The Cooler came with a PWM splitter, 1 end plugs into the CPU header and the other plugs into the power supply, but it uses a connector that is not on my PSU (it says SATA and has the L-shaped connector of SATA, but i don't have a SATA port on my PSU, and i didn't think SATA could be used power parts) So my question is: Is there a way tell/test if the fan headers are PWM before i plug the fans/pump into them?

While true, you need to do more than install and configure solar panels correctly. Learning how to set up your solar charge controller keeps your batteries at peak condition and distributes maximum energy through your solar-powered household. That begets efficient energy usage and cuts costs from your monthly bills. Like setting up solar panels, learning how to set up your solar charge controller comes with a steep learning curve. Learn how solar charge controllers work as well as where they fit in your solar configuration to get the most out of solar power. Understanding Solar Charge Controllers The purpose of a solar charge controller does not become clear until you gain an understanding of how they work alongside solar panels to move power through your home. First, understand how solar cells work. The brighter the sunlight, the more voltage solar cells generate.

So we will get a large energy storage system; energy generated by your wind turbine or solar panel system. What kind of battery can we choose? During the design phase of a wind turbine or PV off grid system it's important to choose the battery that will compose the battery bank for storage. On the market there are many types of batteries. Below we list the most popular:• Lead-acid batteries: these are the batteries used to supply the electrical system of motorcycles, cars and trucks. Have a low cost, deliver very high currents, are reliable and of long life and work well even at low temperatures; counter are quite heavy, dangerous because the lead is a toxic metal, lose capacity as a result of mechanical stress and are not suitable for discharge too long due to the phenomenon of sulfation.• Gel batteries: these batteries are lead-acid batteries in which the electrolyte is not liquid, but gelatinous.

"text": "\"Basic Quick Solar Setup and Tutorial Guide Below is my simple off grid system, which I assembled about 6 years ago! It still comes handy, especially when we get blackouts, which is a common thing these days... Technical Info: AGM 260 AH, 12V Battery, 2000 watt inverter, 30 Amp solar charger and 3 x 12 Volt, 200 watts solar panels... 260 AH x 12 Volts = 3120 watts - 7 hours x 600 watts = 4200 Watt hours... A simple system, that's BETTER than a fuel powered generator of similar size!Setting up a basic energy system is easy, as everything is basically modular; where everything just \"\"snaps\"\" together like legos. The basic off grid system is comprised of: Solar panels, batteries, solar charger controller and inverter ... The only tools you will need to setup your energy system, are: wire strippers, side cutters and a philips head screwdriver... The first connections that are made in an off grid energy system, is the solar charger and batteries. Solar chargers can usually accept a multiple range of voltage inputs, the basic being 12-24 volt chargers. That's why the first connections has to be the charger to the battery. what happens is this: When the charger senses the batteries being connected, i.e. 12 or 24 volts, the charger automatically adjust to the specifications of the batteries that are connected - A totally flat battery will not charge properly in this case!When the solar panels are finally connected, the voltages being generated by the panels is regulated and then applied to the battery (s)... Quite Simply...++= FREE ELECTRICITY!Here's How to Set One Up... For this system, we will be using a 12/24 volt charger that's rated at 30 amps... This system will be set at 12 volts, meaning, when the charger is connected to a 12 volt battery, it will automatically set itself to that charging specification... The charging voltage of any 12 volt system is 18 volts or 36 volts for a 24 volt system. A 12 volt solar panel can easily generate voltages over 20 volts, although the charge controller will regulate it at the appropriate charge voltage of 18 volts DC... So in this case, you DEFINATELY do not want to hard wire a solar panel directly to a battery!Solar30 Charger ... The solar 30 charger has various functions, which along with instructions can be found in the documentation when purchased...#1. To begin, you need to first connect your battery (s) to your solar charger... Solar chargers basically have 6 terminals; -Negative and +Positive for panel input, -Negative and +Positive for battery output and -Negative and +Positive for regulated output ... See example below... Solar Charger Terminals The terminals are self explanatory... Solar, Battery, 12/24 volt, 30 Ampere Output... Here is a side view of the terminals... Unscrewing opens the clamps to accept the terminal connections... Locate the battery connections (Battery Symbol) and connect the battery... To clamp the wires in place, first loosen the terminals with your screwdriver. Then simply push your stripped battery connector in place and then tighten the clamp with your screwdriver. The wire should now be secured in place... Do the same for the other connector, so that both the Negative and Positive connections are complete.#2."

Komekura, Japan · Solar PV system on Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain-top A photovoltaic system, also PV system or solar power system, is a power system designed to supply usable solar power by means of photovoltaics. It consists of an arrangement of several components, including solar panels to absorb and convert sunlight into electricity, a solar inverter to change the electric current from DC to AC, as well as mounting, cabling, and other electrical accessories to set up a working system. It may also use a solar tracking system to improve the system's overall performance and include an integrated battery solution, as prices for storage devices are expected to decline. Strictly speaking, a solar array only encompasses the ensemble of solar panels, the visible part of the PV system, and does not include all the other hardware, often summarized as balance of system (BOS). Moreover, PV systems convert light directly into electricity and shouldn't be confused with other technologies, such as concentrated solar power or solar thermal, used for heating and cooling. PV systems range from small, rooftop-mounted or building-integrated systems with capacities from a few to several tens of kilowatts, to large utility-scale power stations of hundreds of megawatts. Nowadays, most PV systems are grid-connected, while off-grid or stand-alone systems only account for a small portion of the market. Operating silently and without any moving parts or environmental emissions, PV systems have developed from being niche market applications into a mature technology used for mainstream electricity generation. A rooftop system recoups the invested energy for its manufacturing and installation within 0.7 to 2 years and produces about 95 percent of net clean renewable energy over a 30-year service lifetime. [ 1]: 30 [2] [3]Due to the exponential growth of photovoltaics, prices for PV systems have rapidly declined in recent years."

Keeping your battery at the correct state of charge improves lifespan as well as reducing the risk of running out of power when away from home. Charging is also an important consideration when storing your battery. Deep cycle batteries will self-discharge if left without a load over an extended period of time and storing in an uncharged state can cause sulfation and damage performance.

The Aussie Batteries & Solar experts are also available to answer your questions; just give us a call on 1800 853 315. Bulk, Absorption and Float Charge Battery charging occurs in three stages; bulk, absorption and float charge. Bulk charge refers to the first stage of the battery charging process, in which the rated maximum current is sent to the battery while maintaining a constant voltage. After this comes the absorption charge stage, which sees the voltage gradually lower as internal resistance increases. The final float charge stage occurs after the battery reaches its full charge and the charging voltage is reduced."

What they do The PWM controller is in essence a switch that connects a solar array to a battery. The result is that the voltage of the array will be pulled down to near that of the battery. The MPPT controller is more sophisticated (and more expensive): it will adjust its input voltage to harvest the maximum power from the solar array and then transform this power to supply the varying voltage requirement, of the battery plus load. Thus, it essentially decouples the array and battery voltages so that there can be, for example, a 12 volt battery on one side of the MPPT charge controller and a large number of cells wired in series to produce 36 volts on the other.

The AC Motor is used in the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is made from utilizing the force that is exerted by the rotating magnetic fields produced by the alternating current that flows through its coils. The AC Motor is made up of two major components: the stationary stator that is on the outside and has coils supplied with AC current, and the inside rotor that is attached to the output shaft. How Does an AC Motor Work? The fundamental operation of an AC Motor relies on the principles of magnetism. The simple AC Motor contains a coil of wire and two fixed magnets surrounding a shaft. When an electric (AC) charge is applied to the coil of wire, it becomes an electromagnet, generating a magnetic field. Simply described, when the magnets interact, the shaft and the coil of wires begin to rotate, operating the motor."

This saves you losing voltage over a long cable from panels to converter. Dec 16, 2016 12 to 24volt by: Anonymous Ok, I live off grid and have now for about 5 yrs. My question is that I’m thinking about switching over my 24volt system down to 12volts.

"text": "\"Han Back, Many years in solar Answered Mar 21, 2017MPPT Technology Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology extracts maximum power from the solar module (s). The tracking algorithm is fully automatic and does not require user adjustment, MPPT technology will track the array maximum power point voltage (Vmp) as it varies with weather conditions, ensuring that maximum power is harvested from the array through the course of the day. Current Boost In many cases, MPPT technology will ―boost‖ the solar charge current. For example, a system may have 8 Amps of solar current flowing into the MPPT charge controller and 10 Amps of charge current flowing out to the battery. The charge controller does not create current! Rest assured that the power into the controller is the same as the power out of the charge controller. Since power is the product of voltage and current (Volts×Amps), the following is true*: (1) Power In =Power Out (2) Volts In×Amps In=Volts Out×Amps Out* Assuming 100% efficiency. Actually, the losses in wiring and conversion exist. If the solar module’s Vmp is greater than the battery voltage, it follows that the battery current must be proportionally greater than the solar input current so that input and output power are balanced. The greater the difference between the maximum power voltage and battery voltage, the greater the current boost."

The 8-bit PWM value that you set when you call the analog Write function: analog Write (my PWMpin, 128); Outputs a square wave is compared against the value in an 8-bit counter. When the counter is less than the PWM value, the pin outputs a HIGH; when the counter is greater than the PWM value, the pin outputs a LOW. In the example above, a square wave is generated because the pin is HIGH from counts 0 to 127, and LOW from counts 128 to 255, so it is HIGH for the same amount of time it is LOW. It follows logically that the frequency of the PWM signal is determined by the speed of the counter. Assuming you are using an Atmega168 with the Arduino Diecimila bootloader burned on it (which is exactly what you are using if you bought an Arduino Diecimila), this counter's clock is equal to the sytem clock divided by a prescaler value. The prescaler is a 3-bit value stored in the three least significant bits of the Timer/Counter register: CS02, CS01, and CS00. There are three such Timer/Counter registers: TCCR0B, TCCR1B, and TCCR2B. Since there are three different prescalers, the six PWM pins are broken up into three pairs, each pair having its own prescaler. For instance, Arduion pins 6 and 5 are both controlled by TCCR0B, so you can set Arduino pins 6 and 5 to output a PWM signal at one frequency."

To put it simply, they convert a higher voltage DC output from solar panels (and a few wind generators) down to the lower voltage needed to charge batteries. ( These are sometimes called \"\"power point trackers\"\" for short - not to be confused with PANEL trackers, which are a solar panel mount that follows, or tracks, the sun).

"text": "\"Printable PDFPulse width modulation (PWM) is a powerful technique for controlling analog circuits with a processor's digital outputs. PWM is employed in a wide variety of applications, ranging from measurement and communications to power control and conversion. Analog Electronics An analog signal has a continuously varying value, with infinite resolution in both time and magnitude. A nine-volt battery is an example of an analog device, in that its output voltage is not precisely 9V, changes over time, and can take any real-numbered value. Similarly, the amount of current drawn from a battery is not limited to a finite set of possible values. Analog signals are distinguishable from digital signals because the latter always take values only from a finite set of predetermined possibilities, such as the set {0V, 5V}. Analog voltages and currents can be used to control things directly, like the volume of a car radio. In a simple analog radio, a knob is connected to a variable resistor. As you turn the knob, the resistance goes up or down. As that happens, the current flowing through the resistor increases or decreases. This changes the amount of current driving the speakers, thus increasing or decreasing the volume."

The breed is named after its primary founder, Herr Louis Dobermann. While its exact origins are unknown, some of the breeds known to figure in the Doberman's ancestry are the Weimaraner, Rottweiler, German pinscher, Beauceron and Manchester terrier. Doberman Coat Colors The most well-known Doberman coat color is black, with rust markings on the face, legs, belly and chest. The other common color is red, also with rust markings. Less common are the diluted colors: fawn, which is a dilution of red; and blue, which is a dilution of black. The diluted colors also have rust markings. Genetics of the Blue Doberman Genetically, the blue Doberman coat is from a gene that inhibits -- or dilutes -- full pigmentation. Black becomes blue, which is actually gray, and red becomes fawn."

"text": "Home › Doberman Pinscher Information › Doberman Pinscher Kinds and Colors ›White (Albino) Doberman Pinscher The Z-Factor Line White Doberman Pinschers are suffering from a genetic abnormality called albinism. Albinism is a genetic disorder that causes melatonin, the pigment that gives animal tissue its color, to not be produced in normal amounts, or prevents it from being distributed in normal amounts. Albinism can cause an animal to produce pigment in varying amounts from almost none to only a slight difference from normal. Albino Dobermans usually have a totally white coat, blue eyes, and pink paw pads, nose, mouth, skin, and membranes. Problems Associated With the White Albino Doberman Pinscher Coat Doberman Pinschers with a white albino coat are missing adequate amount of pigment in their bodies to protect themselves from the sun. For this reason, white albino Dobermans can easily be sun burned and their eyes are sensitive to sun light. Besides the obvious problems of not having melatonin pigment to protect the body, the genes responsible for albinism are closely related to other genes. These genes are responsible for other body functions unrelated to pigmentation such as liver, kidney, and blood functions where problems can develop. Additionally, behavioral problems have been observed in Dobermans suffering from albinism. These Dobermans have had problems with aggression and adjusting to new situations."

Doberman’s get a bad reputation as attack dogs. Alpha in the Academy Award-winning film “UP” embodies every stereotype of the Doberman Pinscher: he’s both mean and not very smart. Fortunately, he’s also fictional and nothing like a real Doberman. The Doberman Pinscher is a dog of contradictions. Although he has a reputation as a sharp and even sinister dog, his devoted fans consider him the most loving and loyal of companions.

Cited as a breed who can “truly do it all,” the Doberman of today has come a long way from the vicious, intense, hard-to-handle breed it used to be. Now suitable for almost any job, the Doberman Pinscher makes an excellent Service Dog candidate. Doberman Pinscher Basics Originally bred as a guard dog, the Doberman Pinscher is medium-sized, dark and exceptionally powerful. Typically 60 to 90 pounds of solid muscle, a Doberman is physically capable of besting a full-grown man. Dobies stand 24 to 28 inches high (all great heights for brace work or mobility support) at the withers with females smaller than males. The breed possesses exceptional endurance, speed and intelligence. Doberman Pinscher Coat and Grooming Dobermans have two genes for coat color. There is a gene for a black coat and then a diluted coat. Depending on how these genes are combined, four different colors of Dobes are possible."

"text": "Genetic Study of Blue Weimaraners October 29, 2010 Blue Weimaraner Today German genetic study on Blue Weimaraners shows mutation unlikely. For more than 60 years, there has been ongoing debate and speculation on the genetic origins of the progenitor of Blues in America, Cäsar Von Gaiberg or Tell. Was Cäsar a cross-breed or had there been a genetic mutation? Logically, those against the Blues argued he was a cross-breed, a plausible theory supported by the fact that his breeder also bred Doberman Pinschers. The Blue supporters have argued with intriguing anecdotal evidence including witnesses who claim to have seen them in Europe many years ago, and the fact that a Weimaraner Club of America standard before the birth of Cäsar listed Blue as an acceptable shade of gray. Last year, I got word that there was a DNA research study proposed by a team of geneticists in Germany. They wanted to study the genetic differences between the gray Weimaraner and the blue Weimaraner. They were asking for blood samples from Blue owners. I shipped them samples from Ellie and Bella and another person here in France participated. There were also liaisons with owners in America and a few other countries."

"text": "Featured Breed Doberman Pinscher Country of Origin The Doberman Pinscher (also known as a Dobermann or affectionately called ‘Dobe’) was bred in Germany in the late nineteenth century, almost exclusively as the work of one man—Louis Dobermann. Dobermann was a tax collector who sought to breed an alert guard dog for personal protection. Within a decade, a breed similar to the modern Doberman Pinscher had been created, popularized, and imported to America. In America, it became a popular guard and police dog, and later a well-admired show dog. By the late 1970’s, the Doberman Pinscher was the second most popular breed in America. Today, it serves mostly as a pet. Famous Doberman Pinschers include Zeus and Apollo, ‘the lads’ from ‘Magnum, P. I.’. Doberman Pinschers are the official combat dog of the U. S. Marines. Size The Doberman Pinscher is a medium to large sized dog with a shoulder height of 63-72 cm (25-28 in) and a weight of 27-45 kg (60-100 lbs). Some Doberman Pinschers weigh over 100 pounds, usually serving as guard dogs or police dogs."

Anable, Jr.\"\" Subject: READ THIS--Dr. Venta's response to v WD questions List members Hi Jim,My colleagues finally had a chance to comment and make changes to this letter to you, and so it is now a joint effort. So here it is. As you know, Vet Gen is now offering DNA tests for von Willebrand's disease (v WD) in Scotties, Shelties, and Dobes, and Kristi, of Vet Gen, is beginning to post information about these tests. The responses indicate some confusion, particularly about the Doberman. You have asked me, as one of the investigators who discovered the mutation, to clarify the genetics and usefulness of the new DNA tests. This is a fairly long letter, and I will apologize for its length now, but I felt that much of what is presented is information that you and other interested parties will want. I have not followed the posts for the lists, so I hope that you will forgive me if I might repeat something that has already been said a million times. A key part of this message that you must understand is that we now know the precise DNA mutations and why and how they cause v WD in these three breeds. So all past hypotheses and speculations in the Merck Vet Manual and elsewhere, which were based upon the old protein-based factor assay, are out the window."

Do you know someone who has told you that they prefer larger dogs because small dogs are yappy and snappy? Whether you are a large-dog person or a small-dog person, one thing we all would agree on is that a larger percentage of small dogs tend to have a different type of temperament than medium and large dogs. Small dogs have earned the reputation of being yappy, snappy, jealous, protective, wary of strangers and not the greatest child companions and, unfortunately, it has become widely accepted. Similar to the myth that Pit Bulls are all vicious fighting dogs whose jaws lock and will not let go until their prey is dead, that's just the way some small dogs are, right? I received a package and my two Boxers went over to greet the UPS driver. I called the dogs back and the driver explained he didn't mind saying hello to my dogs.

Today's Doberman Pinscher is one of the most popular and respected members of the canine clan. Developed first as police dogs in 19th Century Germany, this breed continues to excel as a watchdog, guardian, and protector. In addition, the breed is now remarkable as a guide dog for the blind, military dog, and pet. The Doberman, or Dobe as he is now called by his friends, is a product of Germany. Herr Louis Dobermann developed this versatile breed in the Apolda region of Germany to suit his own need for a loyal, obedient, fiercely protective dog to accompany him in his nightly rounds as a policeman. Since he also worked as the local dogcatcher, Herr Dobermann had access to a wide variety of dogs to develop his large \"\"pinscher\"\" or terrier. Some of the breeds used to shape the Dobe include the pinscher (a smaller black and tan dog very similar in appearance to the modern Doberman and the Manchester Terrier), Rottweilers, and Thuringian Shepherds. Other breeds that contributed their genes are black Greyhound for elegance and sleekness, Great Dane, Weimaraner and German Shorthaired Pointer.

These breeds do tend to share some of the same traits however, which includes great intelligence, strength, and a tendency to aggression towards other animals (i.e. dogs, cats, rodents, etc.). If you decide to adopt a dog from one of these breeds, or a mix, you should be prepared to show extra commitment to responsible pet ownership, which includes obedience training, TONS of socialization, and management if your dog displays aggressive traits. Moreover, for those breeds such as pit bulls and akitas that have a genetic predisposition toward animal aggression, dog parks are absolutely to be avoided!Below we have provided some basic descriptions on some of the more infamous breeds found predominantly in Los Angeles area shelters, along with additional website links for more information on each breed.

As they get older, some thinning of the facial hair may occur but not to the point where the puppy will go bald. Other signs to watch out for besides facial baldness are crusting or redness of the skin and rubbing or scratching of the face. Parasites Puppies allergic to flea bites can scratch themselves bald, even on the face. According to Mar Vista Animal Clinic, another common parasite on puppy faces are mites of the Demodex genus, which cause demodectic mange. Puppies get these mites from the mother dog. Ringworm Ringworm, caused by a fungal infection, is common in puppies because they do not have a natural immunity to it. Although sometimes ringworm goes away by itself after a few months, any puppy with ringworm is highly contagious--even to people. The \"\"Dog Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook\"\" notes that ringworm often starts on the legs and under the tail but soon appears on the face.

The Doberman’s powerful, muscular build gives it speed, elegance, strength, and endurance. Its posture is alert and proud, and its gait is fast. Dobermans come in a color range of black, blue, fawn, red, and a light yellowish brown. Above each eye are rust-colored markings which also appear on the muzzle, throat and chest, below the tail, and on all four legs and feet.

Therefore, their viral genome must enter the nucleus of the host cell. In this review we briefly summarize the principles of nucleocytoplasmic transport, and then describe the diverse strategies used by viruses to deliver their genomes into the host nucleus. Some of the emerging mechanisms include: (1) nuclear entry during mitosis, when the nuclear envelope is disassembled, (2) viral genome release in the cytoplasm followed by entry of the genome through the nuclear pore complex (NPC), (3) capsid docking at the cytoplasmic side of the NPC, followed by genome release, (4) nuclear entry of intact capsids through the NPC, followed by genome release, and (5) nuclear entry via virus-induced disruption of the nuclear envelope. Which mechanism a particular virus uses depends on the size and structure of the virus, as well as the cellular cues used by the virus to trigger capsid disassembly and genome release. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Regulation of Signaling and Cellular Fate through Modulation of Nuclear Protein Import. Research Highlights► Many viruses must access the nucleus of the host cell. ► Five strategies have been identified for viral nuclear access. ► These involve waiting for mitosis or using the host nuclear transport machinery. ► A newly identified strategy involves disrupting the nuclear envelope."

Viruses are responsible for a wide variety of human diseases, ranging from the common (influenza and colds) to the exotic (AIDS and West Nile virus). Some viruses which are not dangerous to humans can also be exploited in technological applications, and viruses find use in genetic engineering applications and (increasingly) in the design of new nanomaterials. At the very least, all viruses contain two components: the capsid (a protein shell), and a genome, consisting of either DNA or RNA. Some viruses also include accessory proteins to aid in infection, or a lipid bilayer to further protect their contents from the environment. The viral life cycle itself is fairly simple: viruses enter the cell, typically (but not always) through the interaction of their capsid with a receptor on the cell surface; the virus must then somehow disassemble its capsid to release its genetic material and any necessary helper proteins. The viral genome is then replicated and the proteins it codes for synthesized to produce the raw material for the production of many new viral particles; these new viruses then assemble, and then exit the cell either through the membrane or upon cell death. Understanding the mechanics of the processes involved in the viral life cycle, and particularly the entry, disassembly, and new capsid assembly steps, at the molecular level will be the key to developing more effective treatments for viral diseases. Current antiviral drugs can target these steps (for example, by preventing the disassembly step from successfully occuring), but our knowledge of these steps is not yet sufficient for rational drug design."

Because viruses, bacteria, and fungi cause many well-known diseases, it is common to confuse them, but they are as different as a mouse and an elephant. A look at the size, structure, reproduction, hosts, and diseases caused by each will shed some light on the important differences between these germs. What is a virus?

RNA packaged inside the togavirus capsid; note that the capsid is fenestrated (it has 'windows'). The nucleocapsid is partially covered by a coat of C protein and enveloped by a phospholipid bilayer viral membrane or envelope) derived from the host cell's membrane lipids which contains the viral protein spikes.

The structure and composition of these components can vary widely. A: Viral Genomes: While the genomes of all known cells are comprised of double stranded DNA, the genomes of viruses can be comprised of single or double stranded DNA or RNA. They can vary greatly in size, from approximately 5-10 kb ( Papovaviridae, Parvoviridae, etc.) to greater than 100-200 kb ( Herpesviridae, Poxviridae ). The known structures of viral genomes are summarized below. DNA: Double Stranded - linear or circular Single Stranded - linear or circular Other Structures - gapped circles RNA: Double Stranded - linear Single Stranded - linear : These single stranded genomes can be either + sense, - sense, or ambisense The sense strand is the one that can serve directly as m RNA and code for protein, so for these viruses, the viral RNA is infectious."

Viruses are at the borderline between living and nonliving matter. When they infect a host cell, they are able to carry on many life functions, such as metabolism and reproduction. But outside a host cell, they are as inactive as a grain of sand. Viruses cause disease by infecting a host cell and taking over its biochemical functions.

Abstract Tailed bacteriophages and herpesviruses consist of a structurally well conserved dodecameric portal at a special 5-fold vertex of the capsid. The portal plays critical roles in head assembly, genome packaging, neck/tail attachment, and genome ejection. Although the structures of portals from phages φ29, SPP1, and P22 have been determined, their mechanistic roles have not been well understood. Structural analysis of phage T4 portal (gp20) has been hampered because of its unusual interaction with the Escherichia coli inner membrane. Here, we predict atomic models for the T4 portal monomer and dodecamer, and we fit the dodecamer into the cryo-electron microscopy density of the phage portal vertex. The core structure, like that from other phages, is cone shaped with the wider end containing the “wing” and “crown” domains inside the phage head. A long “stem” encloses a central channel, and a narrow “stalk” protrudes outside the capsid. A biochemical approach was developed to analyze portal function by incorporating plasmid-expressed portal protein into phage heads and determining the effect of mutations on head assembly, DNA translocation, and virion production. We found that the protruding loops of the stalk domain are involved in assembling the DNA packaging motor."

This severe form of headache can range from moderate pain experienced infrequently, to an incapacitating condition which occurs regularly and impacts on work. The two main forms it occurs in are classic and common. A classic migraine is preceded by an \"\"aura,\"\" a disturbance primarily of visual perception. People experiencing aura may have blind spots, tunnel vision, visual and auditory hallucinations, speech disturbance, ringing in the ears, numbness of parts of the body, and see flashing lights or zig-zag patterns ( 11 ). In common migraine, there is no aura. Though they are not a type of migraine, cluster headaches are commonly associated with migraine, since they are equally, if not more, severe. The history of this condition dates back supposedly to when Neolithic \"\"surgeons\"\" would drill holes in the skulls of headache sufferers. Hippocrates prescribed herbs for his patients, and Galen labeled what may have been migraines or migraine-like headaches \"\"hemicrania\"\" because of their tendency to occur on one side of the head at a time. Willis, a British physician, used the word \"\"migrum\"\" instead ( 8 )."

First things first, headaches are classified into two categories: Primary and secondary. At least 90 percent of headaches are classified as primary, which means they occur without an underlying cause. Migraines, tension type headaches and cluster headaches are all considered primary. Secondary headaches are those induced by trauma, infections of the brain or central nervous system, TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder), or sinus issues."

The term \"\"headache\"\" refers to any pain or physical aching experienced around the head, forehead, neck, face or mouth. They can be caused by many different factors including stress, tightness in the muscles, or a variety of other triggers. Fortunately, the majority of headaches are not severe and can be treated with lifestyle changes and if necessary, prescribed medication. Headache Information Headaches Cluster Headaches Migraine Tension Headaches The Different Types of Headaches Healthcare professionals categorize headaches into two types: primary headaches and secondary headaches. Primary headaches occur when there is no pre-existing condition or cause. Their types include tension headaches, cluster headaches and the extremely common migraine headache. Secondary headaches, on the other hand, are headaches affected by pre-existing conditions such as high blood pressure, brain tumors and strokes.

The headache may be migraine or another kind of headache, or a combination of two or more different headache types. Regardless of the cause, it is a relentless, seemingly untreatable headache. What is going on in your head when the pain is so resistant to treatment? It seems as if EVERYTHING seems to trigger the headache and nothing seems to help. Surprisingly, we don’t have a complete understanding of what changes are taking place in the brain of someone in this situation. We think that the brain of someone with constant, treatment-resistant pain actually processes information differently from the way people who don’t have constant pain. There is very exciting research going on looking into these changes, but we don’t have definite answers yet. Like a car engine, you have to understand how it works before you can understand what is wrong with it, and you have to understand what is wrong with it before you can fix it.

Like adults, children can develop different types of headaches, including migraine or stress-related (tension) headaches. Children can also have chronic daily headaches. In some cases, headaches in children are caused by an infection, high levels of stress or anxiety, or minor head trauma. It's important to pay attention to your child's headache symptoms and consult a doctor if the headache worsens or occurs frequently. Headaches in children usually can be treated with over-the-counter pain medications and other lifestyle measures. Symptoms Children get the same types of headaches adults do, but their symptoms may differ. For example, migraine pain in children may last less than four hours, whereas in adults, migraines last at least four hours. Differences in symptoms may make it difficult to pinpoint headache type in a child, especially in a younger child who can't describe symptoms. In general, though, certain symptoms tend to fall more frequently under certain categories."

The official cause of migraine is unknown. To this day, there are many people that will answer this question and refer to the old vasodilation (wide blood vessels) theory as the cause for most migraines. According to Oxford University, those people are wrong (2008 Oxford study: The vascular theory of migraine-a great story wrecked by the facts ). When do migraines occur? This question is easier to answer with the latest breakthrough in migraine research. Migraines can occur after a peptide is released when the trigeminal nerve is irritated by sources of inflammation and oxidative stress, as well as numerous other triggers. Photo Credit The trigeminal nerve has been a huge focus of migraine research because some 80% of patients with jaw pain known as TMJ, which puts pressure on the trigeminal nerve, have migraines or headaches ( study ). Photo Credit We know that this nerve being inflamed can trigger migraines (such is the case with trigeminal neuralgia) and migraines also cause this nerve to become inflamed (more on this here ). It is a viscous cycle."

Punch biopsy: The doctor uses an instrument called a punch to remove a circular section through all layers of the lesion. Excisional biopsy: The doctor uses a scalpel to take off the entire lesion. This method is used for smaller lesions. Incisional biopsy: The doctor uses a scalpel to remove a small sample of a large lesion."

Subscribe to Just Coding News: Inpatient!By Lisa A. Eramo Provider documentation of inpatient wound care services may be confusing at best and completely lacking at worst. Coders end up trying to decipher exactly what procedure the provider performed. Consider the following tips to help sort through wound care coding conundrums and ensure compliance. Tip #1: Ensure diagnosic specificity. Before coders can report wound care services, they must ensure that providers have documented a diagnosis to justify those services, says Gloryanne Bryant, BS, RHIA, RHIT, CCS, CDIP, CCDS, an AHIMA-approved ICD-10-CM/PCS trainer who has more than 30 years of experience in the HIM profession. Patients who benefit from wound care may have active wounds (e.g., burns, abrasions, lacerations, punctures, or insect bites) or chronic wounds (e.g., pressure ulcers, venous ulcers, diabetic ulcers, or non-healing surgical wounds). The latter often require ongoing wound care treatment, says Bryant. For example, patients with diabetes may have one of the following two types of diabetic ulcers: Neuropathic ulcers: Patients with diabetic autonomic neuropathy (i.e., a nerve disorder and complication of diabetes in which a patient can’t feel irritation or pain) develop these types of ulcers. “ Because [patients] can’t feel that an area of skin is being irritated, it can get to such a point that it totally breaks down,” says Robert S. Gold, MD, founder and CEO of DCBA, Inc., in Atlanta, Ga. “If it gets deep enough and gets infected, it can lead to inflammation deep into the skin and subcutaneous tissue and can go as far down as the bone and cause osteomyelitis.”"

I was particularly disappointed with the way the show handled one of its central themes: the morbidity and mortality (M&M) conference. I thought it might be useful to tell you how most real M&M conferences are run. M&M conferences generally take place at hospitals with residency training programs and are rather specific to surgical disciplines. It is possible that they may be held in large non-teaching hospitals, but time constraints and the fact that direct attending surgeon to attending surgeon criticism in an open forum is difficult to do. Unlike the TV version, real M&M conferences feature presentations by residents, not the attending staff. The resident who performed the operation prepares a summary of the case which these days is usually on Power Point. Pertinent history, physical exam findings, lab results and images are shown. A radiologist or pathologist may be on hand to help educate the attendees. The conduct of the surgical procedure and the patient’s hospital course are described."

Some may remove a small tissue sample with a needle while others may surgically remove a suspicious nodule or lump. Most needle biopsies are performed on an outpatient basis with minimal preparation. Your doctor will give you instructions based on the type of biopsy being performed. Tell your doctor if there’s a possibility you are pregnant. Discuss any medications you’re taking, including blood thinners such as aspirin and herbal supplements, and whether you have any allergies – especially to anesthesia. Your physician will advise you to stop taking blood thinners for a specific period of time before your procedure, and you may be told not to eat or drink anything for eight hours beforehand. Leave jewelry at home and wear loose, comfortable clothing. You may be asked to wear a gown. What are biopsies?"

The biopsy provides important information: Whether the mole is benign or malignant If malignant, how deeply the tumor has penetrated the skin and whether there are associated signs of ulceration A skin biopsy is quick and about as uncomfortable as having blood drawn. The physician will clean the area to be biopsied with alcohol and then inject a small amount of local anesthetic. Because the anesthetic makes the skin swell and has a low p H, it burns for about 5 to 10 seconds. It is similar to the anesthetic used by dentists. Once the anesthetic has taken effect, the doctor will use a scalpel, a razor blade, or a small circular blade called a “punch” to free a small piece of skin. Because the skin is numb, the patient can feel pressure but no pain during this part of the procedure. If a deep biopsy is taken, 1 or 2 stitches are used to close the wound. If the biopsy is superficial, the wound is left open to heal like deep scrape. The whole process usually takes about 5 minutes."

A skin biopsy is done when a patch of skin looks suspicious and your doctor wishes to examine it more closely under a microscope. Your doctor may be looking for cancer or other skin conditions. There are multiple ways a biopsy can be taken, some requiring stitches, some with cauterizing and others leaving an open wound. As such, care for your biopsy wound can vary slightly, but with the proper care, the site should heal relatively quick, but may leave a scar. Different Biopsy Techniques A common method is the shave biopsy in which a scalpel or razor blade removes a thin layer of the lesion. This motion is done smoothly and parallel to the skin surface. Another technique is the punch biopsy. Your doctor uses a small, cylindrical punch which he screws into the skin lesion."

Roman medicine was highly influenced by Greek medicine. Greek physicians including Dioscorides and Galen practiced medicine and recorded their discoveries in the Roman Empire. These two physicians had knowledge of hundreds of herbal, among other, medicines. Ancient Roman medicine was divided into specializations such as ophthalmology and urology.

"text": "Is Supplemental Oxygen a Performance-Enhancing Drug?by Skeptical Scalpel | Mar 25, 2013 | 43 comments Skeptical Scalpel (click to view)Advertisement Have you ever wondered if it works? Does breathing a high concentration of oxygen help an athlete recover from exertion faster? You often see a football player on the sidelines breathing oxygen after running a long distance or having worked hard during a long series of plays. Have you ever wondered if it works? Does breathing a high concentration of oxygen help an athlete recover from exertion faster? The answer is a resounding “No,” and here’s why…In healthy people, such as college and professional football players, nearly all of the oxygen in the blood is carried by hemoglobin. Only a very small percentage is dissolved in blood. Saturation defines the oxygen that is attached to hemoglobin and partial pressure of oxygen is that which is dissolved in blood. Definitions: Sa O 2 = arterial oxygen saturation, Hb = hemoglobin, 1.34 m L is the amount of oxygen a fully saturated gram of hemoglobin can carry, Pa0 2 = partial pressure of oxygen or the amount of oxygen dissolved in blood. If an athlete has a normal Hb level of 15 gm, a Sa O 2 of 100% and a Pa O 2 of 100 mm Hg, the formula used to calculate his blood oxygen content is: [Hb X 1.34 X (Sa O 2 /100)] + 0.003 X Pa O 2 or [15 X 1.34 X 100/100] + 0.003 X 100 so 20.1 + 0.3 = 20.4 m L/100 m L of blood Only about 1.5% of the oxygen content of blood is dissolved."

"text": "ABSTRACTDownload PDFAlthough laser treatment has generated considerable interest among dentists and the public, there is no evidence that any laser system adds clinical value over and above scaling and root planing and conventional surgical treatment for periodontitis. Following a brief explanation of the mechanism behind soft tissue lasers, the evidence on the use of laser therapy in addition to traditional nonsurgical periodontal treatment in the management of periodontal diseases is reviewed. Introduction Recent publicity about the benefits of lasers in dentistry has generated considerable interest among dental professionals and the public. Lasers have been around for nearly 50 years. 1 In 1985, they were introduced in a dental setting with the use of a modified ophthalmic laser. 2 Some lasers have been designed for caries removal, while others are specific for soft tissues and have been used because of their hemostatic properties. More recently, lasers have been promoted as an adjunct to, or substitute for, standard mechanical debridement of subgingival root surfaces and periodontal pockets. The integration of dental lasers into the daily clinical practice of general dentists is being advocated as a “revenue booster,” offering patients a painless alternative to surgical treatment of periodontal disease and a benefit over traditional methods of therapy. Although it may be true that dental lasers can increase revenue, statements relating to the effects of lasers appear to be based primarily on manufacturers’ claims of laser efficacy rather than research data. Some practitioners find it essential to have the most up-to-date technology available for their patients."

Surgical blades vary by size and shape. The number of the blade indicates the blade size and shape. Surgical blades are typically made with stainless steel or carbon steel. Surgical blades come in a variety of forms giving surgeons and medical staff the right blade for the procedure. Surgical blades are typically sold separate from the blade handle. Surgical blades are available in disposable scalpels (sterile and non-sterile). Disposable scalpels are single-use scalpels that commonly use a plastic handle connected to a surgical blade.

"text": "Government contractor jobs involve individuals working for private firms that have been contracted to work for the government. In order to reduce costs associated with hiring large numbers of long-term employees, governments often hire private firms to complete short-term projects. Most government contractor jobs are short-term positions. In some industries, governments agree to multi-year contracts with firms, which mean that some of these jobs have a longer duration. Government owned utility companies often hire contractors to perform maintenance work and complete major projects and upgrades at electrical and sewage plants. Private firms contracted to complete this work employ engineers, electricians, and other skilled professionals to complete the specific tasks. Government contractor jobs are numerous for professionals, including engineers in the aftermath of natural disasters. Medical professionals, including doctors and nurses, are also contracted to work for the government after natural disasters occur, and very often these professionals oversee volunteers from charities and other non-governmental organizations. The military often hires private contractors to provide security at military installations and government buildings overseas. It costs a government less to hire locally based private security contractors rather than to transport large numbers of military personnel to guard embassies and other government properties located in other nations."

They are also designated by their identifying Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Codes. Besides having a sought after skill, service or product, defense contractors can also perform on classified and unclassified contracts. This article discusses classified contracts and how defense contractor enterprises are granted security clearances. A facility security clearance (FCL) is provided to a defense contractor as a result of a contract requiring performance on a classified effort. Though the contractor does not have to possess an FCL prior to bidding on a contract, it is necessary perform on the classified effort. A defense contractor can bid on and win the contract as long as they are eligible to apply for and receive the FCL. Once they win the contract, the rewarding activity provides justification for the security clearance. A defense contractor is not able to request its own security clearance in preparation for classified work, in anticipation of classified work, or to make the enterprise more marketable; there is just no system in place for that process."

"text": "What Is A Shift Differential? Tim Becker Overtime Laws A shift differential is an extra bump in pay that some workers make for working outside of normal business hours. Shift differentials aren’t required by federal law, but many companies, especially in the manufacturing industry, offer them as a way of encouraging employees to take “undesirable” shifts, like night shifts or work on the weekends. Technically, a shift differential is just one type of “differential pay,” when a worker makes more than they normally do for taking on additional work, or work that other employees don’t want to. Hazard pay is another example, when workers are paid at a higher wage, or offered a bonus, for performing dangerous work. How Is Shift Differential Pay Determined? Since differential pay is company policy, not something regulated by the government, there’s no standard way to pay it. Most businesses will outline how shift differentials work, if they’re offered, in the employee handbook. Usually, however, differential rates of pay are calculated by taking a worker’s regular wage, and then adding an additional percentage of that wage. That’s the “differential,” that extra percentage added to the normal rate."

"text": "\"Laboratory Archive To return to the current Laboratory Compliance Question of the Week, click here For the Week of April 6, 2015Question: The 2015 CPT Manual has prefatory and parenthetical language that instructs providers to not use chemistry section codes for drug-screening tests (unless there is a specific analyte code) and refers them to the new CPT codes that CMS will not pay in 2015. In one group of four codes, the descriptors have been changed to “non-drug.” Since CMS does not recognize the new codes, how should this be handled? Answer: For 2015, use the instructions in the Drug Testing section and Chemistry section of the 2014 CPT Manual and ignore the 2015 prefatory and parenthetical language, as well as the change in descriptors for CPT codes 82541, 82542, 82543, and 82544 that prohibit the use of CPT codes in the Chemistry section for testing for drugs.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------For the Week of March 30, 2015Question: My question is a follow-up to last week’s posting about the fact that CMS is not paying for the new drug-assay codes. How are labs supposed to bill for these since these new codes replace the 2014 codes that the AMA deleted? Answer: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) realizes that its decision not to pay the new codes means that there are not sufficient codes available to bill the tests for drugs of abuse, so it created alphanumeric G codes as replacements and instructed providers to use these “in the same manner in which they used the corresponding CPT codes for 2014.” The replacement G codes can be found on pages 2–4 in the 2015 CLFS final determinations at http://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Medicare-Fee-for-Service-Payment/Clinical Lab Fee Sched/Downloads/CY2015-CLFS-Codes-Final-Determinations.pdf.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------For the Week of March 23, 2015Question: When will CMS post the CLFS payments for the new drug-assay codes? Answer: There will be no Medicare payment for the 63 new 2015 drug-assay codes (80300–80377) in the foreseeable future. According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the reason is due to its “long-standing concerns about the potential for fraudulent and abusive billing of drugs tests. ”In its October 2014 announcement of this decision, CMS stated that it was concerned that “the structure of the new drug testing codes may not prevent abusive billing.”"

"text": "\"November 12, 2012Articles What contractors need to know about DOL’s increased Service Contract Act oversight As the Department of Labor (DOL) sharpens its focus on enforcement of labor laws, government contractors are increasingly finding themselves in DOL’s crosshairs. Compliance with the Service Contract Act (SCA) is receiving more attention than ever from DOL’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD). During the past two years, the WHD has moved away from its compliance assistance functions and reinvented itself as, essentially, an SCA compliance police force. In its most recent budget request, WHD defined its top strategic budget priority as obtaining \"\"compliance by conducting effective investigations that bring employers with violations into compliance. \"\" WHD’s commitment to investigations is underscored by aggressive hiring of new investigators, who now constitute 60% of WHD’s workforce. These investigators are expected to complete 36,220 compliance actions in FY 2013, a 45% increase from 24,922 completed in 2009. As an additional force multiplier, WHD recently established its \"\"ABA-Approved Attorney Referral System,\"\" which permits WHD to refer certain employee complaints to private-practice attorneys thereby allowing WHD to focus its resources on SCA matters where employees have no right of private action against their employers. Consequences of SCA noncompliance Historically, SCA audits have been triggered by employee complaints. Recently, however, DOL has been initiating SCA compliance audits on their own accord. Offenders now find themselves targeted for follow up audits and exposed to more additional penalties if corrective actions fail to yield strict compliance."

While contracting may be a good fit for your business, make sure you’re aware of the unique aspects of dealing with the government. By Tom Marcinko and Bill Foote, CPAGovernment contracting is big business in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Many of the world’s largest government contractors are headquartered in our state (see Table 1). According to a report published by George Mason University, the Department of Defense (Do D) alone spent $54.5 billion in Virginia during 2008, including $15 billion in payroll for the state’s 31 military installations and $39.4 billion in contracting for the procurement of goods and services. It is estimated that these contracts supported approximately 270,000 jobs within the state. Federal procurement spending in Virginia across all agencies totaled $53.9 billion in 2008. Historically, some have considered federal government work to be a safe haven during uncertain economic times. While profit margins on government contracts are relatively low, Uncle Sam tends to be a reliable and potentially long-term customer. During the current recession, the lack of private sector work combined with “stimulus” spending under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) is causing some companies to consider government contracting."

The focus of these two courses is to teach the students the skills and concepts needed to succeed as a Coast Guard project engineer and project manager. Classroom discussions cover the engineering design process including needs identification, system requirements, system reliability, budgeting and scheduling. Additional topics include engineering ethics, society and technology, and contemporary electrical and computer engineering topics. Field trips to Coast Guard labs and project-related trips to various locations are included in the courses. In the lab, cadets form teams of two to three students and conduct a two-semester major engineering design project. Working as an apprentice engineer alongside faculty members, Coast Guard sponsors, and contractors as part of a small Coast Guard project team, students are confronted with real-world engineering problems that require formal resolution with no predetermined outcome. A typical project includes requirements definition; computer programming; computer algorithm design and system implementation; data gathering and analysis; and presentation of results in a formal paper and oral presentation. At the culmination of the capstone experience, the EE cadets get an opportunity to formally present their work to Academy faculty and to professionals from Coast Guard Headquarters and various Coast Guard engineering commands.2015-2016 Capstone Projects Direction Finding of Spread Spectrum (SS) Signals: This project aims to solve the need for CG assets to have the ability to direction find on SS signals such as the new signal proposed for the 406 MHz Search and Rescue Satellite (SARSAT) system to augment search and rescue operations. Students will design and build a data acquisition system capable of estimating the direction of arrival of SS signals using both FFT and de-spreading methods; use a Software Defined Radio (SDR) to transmit and receive test signals and demonstrate proof of concept; and design algorithms to extract information from simulated beacon messages."

Contracts will be awarded to the prescribed number of responsible and eligible bidders bidding the lowest coefficients per solicitation. How is the contract priced, since it is open-ended? Since actual projects are not identified at the time of bid, the contract pricing relies on a Unit Price Book for each county. DCAMM’s Unit Price Books will be prepared by Norwell-based RSMeans, a national company focused on construction cost data. The contractor bids a coefficient (or multiple coefficients), which serves as a modifier or adjustment factor, to the applicable unit price book (s) included in the region. For instance, a coefficient of 1.20 would represent a 20% markup on every unit price in the applicable Unit Price Books. The coefficient must include all project general conditions as described in the contract, including but not limited to supervision, overhead and profit."

"text": "The Role of the Contracting Officer Sign in to follow this Followers 0Entry posted by Vern Edwards · December 23, 200810,816 views Here are some quotes dating from 1950 about the role of the contracting officer, snipped from various board and court decisions and law reviews: From: Penner Installation Corp. v. U. S ., 116 Ct. Cl. 550 (1950): Some contracting officers regard themselves as representatives of the [united States], charged with the duty of protecting its interests and of exacting of the contractor everything that may be in the interest of the Government, even though no reasonable basis therefor can be found in the contract documents; but the Supreme Court has said that in settling disputes this is not his function; his function, on the other hand, is to act impartially, weighing with an even hand the rights of the parties on the one hand and on the other. * * * It is a duty not easily to be discharged, we know. They are the Government's representatives, charged with the duty of seeing that the Government gets what it bargained for. Many contractors, on the other hand, bent upon making as much money as they can out of the contract, are constantly seeking ways out of doing this and doing that. Frequently, it is a constant battle-the contracting officer as the Government's representative, on the one hand, and the contractor on the other. To ask the contracting officer to act impartially when he must decide a dispute between the contractor and his employer is, indeed, putting upon him a burden difficult to bear. And yet the contract requires him to do so."

An operator choosing to use an 'off-the-shelf' OQ program (e.g., MEA, Northeast Gas Association, and Consortium on Operator Qualification/NCCER) is still fully responsible to understand and meet the provisions of the OQ Rule. For example, the operator must make sure that tasks performed in its unique operating environment by its employees or contractors are evaluated to determine whether they are covered or not. The operator must also determine which of its employees and contractors perform the covered tasks, and ensure that they are qualified to perform the tasks."

Security contractors are hired to protect individuals, convoys, bases, buildings, and infrastructure, as well as to train local authorities. They are also known as private military contractors (PMCs) and often work for private companies contracted by the U. S. government. They may provide security for military personnel and for civilians working in areas of conflict. Security contractors also may often be employed in domestic situations where they provide protection for specific individuals, agencies, and corporations. Security contractors may be exposed to high-risk and dangerous environments and circumstances. They must be well-trained in weaponry and comfortable with potential conflict. Some security contractors perform surveillance from a safe distance; there is less risk of personal injury in these positions than those who work in the field."

"text": "\"Can a contractor rely on the minimums in an IDIQ pact? By Carl Peckinpaugh Nov 17, 1996A company official asked the following question: It is common for agencies to specify minimum and maximum anticipated quantities in their indefinite-quantity contracts in order to give the offerors guidance on how to price their proposals. To what extent is the government bound by these estimates? Can a contractor rely on the minimums stated in these contracts? In most cases contractors may reasonably expect government agencies to procure at least those quantities specified as minimums in their indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity contracts. Most agencies take considerable care in estimating the minimums and maximums set forth in their solicitations and contracts. However in some cases an agency may fail to purchase a specified minimum. In those cases the agency will be required to put the contractor in as good condition financially as it would have been in if the minimum quantity had been purchased. In general a contract will not be enforceable unless each party provides adequate consideration to support the other party's commitment. In this context \"\"consideration\"\" refers to the actions and promises that each side brings to the table when it enters an enforceable contract."

"text": "The issue of executive overreach from President Obama was debated on “Fox News Sunday,” but on two issues, the rhetoric outpaced the facts. Republican Rep. Bob Goodlatte claimed that the Supreme Court’s “9-0 decision last week was the 13th time the Supreme Court has voted 9-0 that the president has exceeded his constitutional authority.” But that’s a stretch, at best. Goodlatte and Democratic Rep. Xavier Becerra disagreed over whether President Obama has the authority to require federal contractors to pay their workers a minimum of $10.10 an hour. But while both confidently pronounced their claims, the issue is a matter of contentious legal debate. In his 2014 State of the Union Address, the president lamented the gridlock in Congress and vowed that “wherever and whenever I can take steps without legislation to expand opportunity for more American families, that’s what I’m going to do.” Obama has followed through on that promise, issuing an executive order to raise the minimum wage for federal contract workers to $10.10 per hour and directing his staff to draft an executive order to protect federal employees from being discriminated against on the basis of gender identity. Those orders come on the heels of a 2012 order from Obama to stop deporting some immigrants who were brought to the country illegally as children. Obama has stated that more executive orders may be on the way, saying before a Cabinet meeting on July 1 that “what I’m going to be continually pushing throughout this year and for the next couple of years is that if Congress can’t act on core issues that would actually make a difference in helping middle-class families get ahead, then we’re going to have to be creative about how we can make real progress. ”Republicans have accused the president of overreaching on his presidential authority, and House Speaker John Boehner announced that he plans to file a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Obama’s executive orders."

Diabetes is no longer a life-threatening complication, but can lead to abnormally small babies. Publications International, Ltd. The majority of women enter pregnancy healthy and remain so until delivery of the baby. Aside from a variety of minor problems -- for example, backache, morning sickness, and constipation -- the woman generally tolerates the many changes in her body that result from pregnancy. In some cases, however, either the mother enters pregnancy with a medical problem or a problem develops during pregnancy. Some of these conditions affect only the mother, while others may affect both mother and baby. Toxemia of Pregnancy Toxemia of pregnancy is a severe condition that sometimes occurs in the latter weeks of pregnancy. It is characterized by high blood pressure; swelling of the hands, feet, and face; and an excessive amount of protein in the urine. If the condition is allowed to worsen, the mother may experience convulsions and coma, and the baby may be stillborn. The term toxemia is actually a misnomer from the days when it was thought that the condition was caused by toxic (poisonous) substances in the blood."

In humans, this process takes about 264 days from the date of fertilization of the egg, but the obstetrician will date the pregnancy from the first day of the last menstrual period (280 days 40 weeks). The doctor will use certain terms when discussing a pregnancy. Some of the following definitions are useful: Intra-uterine pregnancy: A normal pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg is implanted in the uterus (womb) and an embryo grows. Embryo: The term used for the developing fertilized egg during the first 9 weeks of pregnancy. Fetus: The term used for the developing embryo after 9 weeks of gestation. Beta human chorionic gonadotropin (also called beta-h CG): This hormone is secreted by the placenta and can be measured to determine the presence and progression of the pregnancy. Urine or blood can be tested for its presence, and it is the hormone involved in the performance of a home pregnancy test. A positive result means a woman is pregnant; however, this test result can stay positive for several weeks after delivering a baby or following a spontaneous miscarriage.

Eclampsia and preeclampsia account for about half of these cases worldwide, and these conditions have been recognized and described for years despite the general lack of understanding of the disease. [ 1] In the fifth century, Hippocrates noted that headaches, convulsions, and drowsiness were ominous signs associated with pregnancy. In 1619, Varandaeus coined the term eclampsia in a treatise on gynecology. [ 2, 3]Definition Eclampsia, which is considered a complication of severe preeclampsia, is commonly defined as new onset of grand mal seizure activity and/or unexplained coma during pregnancy or postpartum in a woman with signs or symptoms of preeclampsia. [ 4, 5] It typically occurs during or after the 20th week of gestation or in the postpartum period. Nonetheless, eclampsia in the absence of hypertension with proteinuria has been demonstrated to occur in 38% of cases reported in the United Kingdom. [ 6] Similarly, hypertension was absent in 16% of cases reviewed in the United States. [ 4]The clinical manifestations of maternal preeclampsia are hypertension and proteinuria with or without coexisting systemic abnormalities involving the kidneys, liver, or blood. There is also a fetal manifestation of preeclampsia involving fetal growth restriction, reduced amniotic fluid, and abnormal fetal oxygenation. ["

"text": "\"Preventing Complications with Nutritionby Amy V. Haas September 1, 2003Editor’s note: This article first appeared in Midwifery Today, Issue 67, Autumn 2003. Subscribe to Midwifery Today Magazine Nutrition in pregnancy—a no-brainer, right? Who would think it was so controversial? Disagreement over a healthful diet during pregnancy continues to rage, with one side saying that what a woman eats will have no effect on her pregnancy and the other saying it has an enormous impact. So what’s a woman to eat? The fact is that research has been done on this subject, but with the exception of folic acid, it stopped somewhere around the 1980s when the focus shifted to drugs as the answer to curing all ills. The research that was done was not widely accepted due to the fact that it could not include clinically controlled studies. It would not show common sense or ethics to starve a group of pregnant women in order to supply a control group. The researchers did the logical thing and used the women’s previous diets and circumstances as the control (Brewer 1982). The results were amazing."

Your doctor or other health care professional will prescribe a drug that fits your specific needs based on your medical condition, and any other existing health problems you may have, for example, kidney disease, heart disease, or diabetes. Your doctor also may recommend other therapies and lifestyle changes like getting more exercise, managing stress, and eating a healthy diet. This information will provide a list of high blood pressure medication generic and brand names, their uses (treatment, management, or prevention of health problems, how they work (mechanism of action), and common side effects. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are blood pressure medications that inhibit the activity of the enzyme angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), which is important for controlling blood pressure. Angiotensin II is a very potent chemical formed in the blood by ACE from, angiotensin I. When formed, angiotensin II causes the muscles surrounding blood vessels to contract, thus narrowing the vessels and increasing blood pressure. ACE inhibitors are medications that inhibit the activity of ACE which decreases the production of angiotensin II. As a result, these medications cause the blood vessels to enlarge or dilate, and this reduces blood pressure. This lower blood pressure makes it easier for the heart to pump blood and can improve the function of a failing heart. In addition, the progression of kidney disease due to high blood pressure or diabetes is slowed."

"text": "While preeclampsia occurs primarily during pregnancy, postpartum preeclampsia can occur for up to six weeks after giving birth. Preeclampsia is the most common of the dangerous complications that can occur in expectant or new mothers. It can be caused by preeclampsia during pregnancy that is not resolved with the delivery of the baby or can occur seemingly out of nowhere following delivery. Preeclampsia after delivery has several symptoms, including the new mother having blood pressure higher than 140/90 and excess protein in her urine. She may also experience issues with her vision, migraines, nausea, dizziness, sudden weight gain or severe abdominal pain. These symptoms can be typical in new mothers, which makes diagnosis of this condition difficult. Researchers believe that insufficient blood flow to the uterus, issues with the immune system, damage to blood vessels during delivery and a poor diet are possible causes of preeclampsia after having the baby. Other possible causes are obesity, excessive stretching of the uterus and even air pollution. When preeclampsia develops during pregnancy both the mother and baby are put at risk. Only the mother is at risk with postpartum preeclampsia, yet this is considered even more dangerous for her because her body is weakened from the trauma of birth."

D., First Choice Community Healthcare, Albuquerque, New Mexico Am Fam Physician. 2004 Dec 15;70 (12):2317-2324. Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific multisystem disorder of unknown etiology. The disorder affects approximately 5 to 7 percent of pregnancies and is a significant cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Preeclampsia is defined by the new onset of elevated blood pressure and proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation. It is considered severe if blood pressure and proteinuria are increased substantially or symptoms of end-organ damage (including fetal growth restriction) occur. There is no single reliable, cost-effective screening test for preeclampsia, and there are no well-established measures for primary prevention. Management before the onset of labor includes close monitoring of maternal and fetal status. Management during delivery includes seizure prophylaxis with magnesium sulfate and, if necessary, medical management of hypertension. Delivery remains the ultimate treatment."

Go to: Abstract As stated in this review, platelets functions and their important role in coagulabity in pregnancy must be well understood, not only in thrombosis related complications in pregnancy (i.e., hypertension, diabetes, thrombophilia). Clinical findings suggest that a periodical monitoring of haematological markers such as MPV and coagulation markers may be associated to Doppler velocimetry, keeping in mind also that the incidence of complications is increased in women who have heritable platelet function disorders. Keywords: platelets, coagulation, high risk pregnancies Go to: Introduction The platelet is one of the key elements of human blood. Platelets play an essential role in the process of thrombogenesis, as well as an important role in atherogenesis and the progression of atherosclerotic lesions ( 1 ). The interaction of the platelets with the vessel wall and its subsequent contribution to atheroma formation and thrombosis is of pivotal importance in the aetiology and pathogenesis of peripheral, coronary, cerebrovascular and other vascular diseases ( 2 ). Acknowledgment of the fact that platelets have a central role to play in these disease states has led to a considerable amount of research into its pathophysiology and understanding ( 3 ). Inappropriate platelet activation is common in atherosclerosis and many of its risk factors, such as smoking and diabetes, play a prime role in the increasing heart disease burden of society."

The factors that place a pregnancy at risk can be divided into four categories: Existing Health Conditions Age Lifestyle Factors Conditions of Pregnancy Existing Health Conditions High blood pressure. Even though high blood pressure can be risky for mother and fetus, many women with high blood pressure have healthy pregnancies and healthy children. Uncontrolled high blood pressure, however, can lead to damage to the mother’s kidneys and increases the risk for low birth weight or preeclampsia. 1Polycystic ovary syndrome. Polycystic (pronounced pah-lee-SIS-tik) ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a disorder that can interfere with a woman's ability to get and stay pregnant. PCOS may result in higher rates of miscarriage (the spontaneous loss of the fetus before 20 weeks of pregnancy), gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and premature delivery. 2Diabetes. It is important for women with diabetes to manage their blood sugar levels before getting pregnant. High blood sugar levels can cause birth defects during the first few weeks of pregnancy, often before women even know they are pregnant."

By Jennifer Kelly Geddes Facebook Pinterest Twitter Email Blend Images/Veer Many expectant women have heard of preeclampsia, a condition in pregnancy characterized by high blood pressure that usually develops after the 20-week mark. But this extremely serious condition can occur after your baby has been delivered, too. Postpartum preeclampsia is less common -- affecting roughly 600 women a year -- and is difficult to quantify because some women who suffer from preeclampsia after birth already had preeclampsia, while others develop a new case of it. \"\" The scary part of postpartum preeclampsia is the delay that can occur between the onset of symptoms and diagnosis, which means a serious illness can become life-threatening,\"\" says Ira Bernstein, M. D., professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Vermont College of Medicine. Indeed, according to the Preeclampsia Foundation, about 15 percent of postpartum preeclampsia patients go on to experience more severe aspects of this condition: eclampsia, or seizures. Read on for important information about preeclampsia after birth. Learn about pregnancy weight gain What is postpartum preeclampsia?

"text": "\"New USPSTF, AAFP Guidance Daily Low-dose Aspirin Recommended for Pregnant Women at High Risk for Pre-eclampsia September 10, 2014 07:53 pm Chris Crawford – Pre-eclampsia is one of the leading causes of health complications for pregnant women and their infants, affecting almost 4 percent of all deliveries (about 160,000 each year) in the United States, according to a U. S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) news release (www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org). This complex condition is diagnosed in the presence of a rise in blood pressure and excess protein in the urine after 20 weeks of pregnancy. To help family physicians and other health care professionals who care for pregnant women better treat this condition, the USPSTF published a recommendation (www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org) on Sept. 9 that women at high risk for pre-eclampsia should use low-dose aspirin (81 mg/day) after 12 weeks of pregnancy to prevent the condition and its related health problems. The AAFP issued a parallel recommendation the same day. This is a B recommendation (www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org) and applies only to pregnant women who do not show signs or symptoms of pre-eclampsia but who are at high risk for the condition and can safely take aspirin. \"\" Pre-eclampsia is a condition that puts both mother and infant at risk for serious complications, including death,\"\" said Jennifer Frost, M. D., medical director for the AAFP Health of the Public and Science Division. \"\" The evidence shows that low-dose aspirin use in high-risk women reduces the risk of pre-eclampsia by 24 percent, premature birth by 14 percent and intrauterine growth restriction by 20 percent. \"\" Frost added that the condition occurs more often in certain populations, including blacks, and overall rates among women continue to increase as the incidences of chronic hypertension and diabetes increase. Story highlights The U. S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) has recommended that women at high risk for pre-eclampsia use low-dose aspirin (81 mg/day) after 12 weeks of pregnancy. This recommendation updates a 1996 USPSTF recommendation that concluded evidence was insufficient to recommend for or against aspirin use for the prevention of pre-eclampsia."

The alimentary canal is most easily described as a long tube which runs from the mouth, through the body to the anus. In an adult human, it can be up to 6 metres long, and is obviously coiled to preserve space. This canal, in addition to organs which secrete various substances into it make up the digestive system. You may remember from your work on blood vessels, for example, that the space inside the tube is known as a lumen. The lumen of the alimentary canal goes straight from the mouth to the anus without obstruction and thus substances can pass right through without ever entering a cell, and the lumen is thus considered a part of the outside world. The process of absorption is what moves food substances from the lumen into cells and usually into the blood stream. Eating food and thus entering it into the alimentary canal is known as ingestion, followed by digestion and then absorption. Any food that cannot be digested for whatever reason (cellulose is a good example), passes all the way through the alimentary canal and out the anus in the form of faeces, the removal of which is known as egestion. Remember, egestion is not excretion, since excretion is the removal of metabolism waste products, but egestion deals with material that has not been absorbed and therefore cannot have been part of metabolism."

What are the cardia, fundus, pyloric antrum, and pylorus of the stomach? What are each of their functions? The cardia is the area immediately surrounding the opening from the esophagus into the stomach. The cardia sphincter helps reduce reflux of stomach contents back up into the esphogus. The orientation of the esophagus as it enters the stomach also provides a natural closure for the cardia as the stomach fills and distends. The fundus is the section of stomach that forms a distendible, blind pouch that expands as more food is swallowed. The body of the stomach is also a distensible section in the “middle” of the stomach. The pyloric antrum is the distal part of the stomach that grinds up swallowed food and regurgitates the hydrochloric acid that is produced by the fundic and body parietal cells. The pylorus is the muscular sphincter (ring of muscle in tubular organ) that regulates the movement of chyme or digested stomach contents, from the stomach to the into the duodenum (first part of the small intestine) and prevents backflow of duodenal contents into the stomach.2."

This is a part of physiological absorption. ] 3digestive system The gastrointestinal tract = alimentary canal (mouth pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine) and the accessory digestive structures (lips, cheeks, tongue, teeth) and glands (salivary glands, pancreas, liver) regarded as an integrated system responsible for the ingestion, mechanical and chemical breakdown, and absorption of foods.4gastrointestinal tract = GI tract = alimentary canal The mucous membrane-and smooth muscle- lined tube of the digestive system through which food passes, in which digestion takes place, and from which wastes are eliminated; it extends from the mouth to the anus and includes the pharynx, esophagus, stomach, and small and large intestines. aka - digestive tract, gut tube.5accessory structures The additional connected parts which contribute to the main function of a major organ or system; in the gastrointestinal tract, the mouth (lips, cheeks, salivary glands, tongue, teeth) and the small intestine (pancreas, liver) are associated with such collateral components.6ingestion The voluntary process of taking foods or liquids into the body by means of the mouth for digestion or absorption. aka - eating.7secretion The physiological process of synthesizing and releasing some functionally specialized substance (especially one which is not a waste) from a gland or cell; at the molecular level, a variety of processes are involved including diffusion, osmosis, passive and active transport mechanisms or exocytosis.8mixing The mechanical physiological process of combining or blending diverse ingredients or components into one mass or mixture so that constituent parts or elements are diffused among each other and coalesced.9propulsion The process of driving or propelling something forward or away; in the gastrointestinal tract, food is moved by deglutition (swallowing) and peristalsis.10motility Having the power to move; in the gastrointestinal tract, propulsive movement is powered by muscular contractions (deglutition = swallowing and peristalsis).11mechanical digestion The muscular process by which solid food is broken down into smaller particles by the chewing action of the jaws, teeth and tongue in the oral cavity and by the mixing waves created in the stomach; at the same time the food is softened and moistened by the digestive juices (saliva in the mouth, gastric juice in the stomach); reduction in the size of ingested food particles increases the surface area of the particles available to be acted upon by digestive enzymes; it does not alter the molecular structure of the nutrient molecules.12chemical digestion The physiological process by which food = nutrient molecules have their molecular structure modified by interacting with substances secreted by various digestive glands and tissues; in general, nutrient molecules are broken down into smaller constituent molecules which will be more easily absorbed in the intestines. [ Note: There is a limited amount of indiscriminant acid hydrolysis of nutrients in the stomach due to the action of gastric HCl; carbohydrates are split into di- and mono-saccharides by salivary amylase in the mouth and pancreatic amylase in the duodenum and disaccharides are split into monosaccharides by disaccharidases (brush border enzymes) in the duodenum; proteins are split into smaller peptides and ultimately into individual amino acids by pepsin in the stomach and pancreatic proteases (trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase) in the duodenum; lipids are split into glycerol and fatty acids by lingual lipase in the mouth and pancreatic lipase and phospholipase in the duodenum; nucleic acids are split into nucleotides by pancreatic nucleases and nucleotides are split into smaller constituents by nucleotidases (brush border enzymes) in the duodenum. ] 13defecation The mechanical muscular process of voiding or eliminating feces from the bowels; a complex process involving the smooth muscles of the large intestine, especially those of the sigmoid colon, rectum and anal canal; it is usually initiated consciously but coordinated by the autonomic nervous system.14List: the six processes of Digestion. ( 1) Ingestion (2) Propulsion {peristalsis} (3) Mechanical Digestion (4) Chemical Digestion (5) Absorption (6) Elimination {defecation} [Note: food acquisition processes are important, but outside the parameters of this course. ] 15List: the organs of the GI tract in the sequence in which they occur starting with the mouth and ending at the anus (include the regions of each organ, ex: oropharynx and laryngopharynx of pharynx).1."

"text": "Chemical Digestion and Absorption: A Closer Look Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: Identify the locations and primary secretions involved in the chemical digestion of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids Compare and contrast absorption of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic nutrients As you have learned, the process of mechanical digestion is relatively simple. It involves the physical breakdown of food but does not alter its chemical makeup. Chemical digestion, on the other hand, is a complex process that reduces food into its chemical building blocks, which are then absorbed to nourish the cells of the body. In this section, you will look more closely at the processes of chemical digestion and absorption. Figure 1. Digestion begins in the mouth and continues as food travels through the small intestine. Most absorption occurs in the small intestine. Chemical Digestion Large food molecules (for example, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and starches) must be broken down into subunits that are small enough to be absorbed by the lining of the alimentary canal. This is accomplished by enzymes through hydrolysis. The many enzymes involved in chemical digestion are summarized in Table 1."

Digestion is the mechanical and chemical breakdown of food into smaller components that are more easily absorbed into a blood stream, for instance. Digestion is a form of catabolism: a breakdown of large food molecules to smaller ones. When food enters the mouth, digestion of the food starts by the action of mastication, a form of mechanical digestion, and the wetting contact of saliva. Saliva, a liquid secreted by the salivary glands, contains salivary amylase, an enzyme which starts the digestion of starch in the food. After undergoing mastication and starch digestion, the food will be in the form of a small, round slurry mass called a bolus. It will then travel down the esophagus and into the stomach by the action of peristalsis. Gastric juice in the stomach starts protein digestion."

The GI tract has a similar layout through out its length: An inner mucosal layer with an epithelial lining A submucosal layer A thin layer of muscle , the Muscularis Mucosa is at the junction of the mucosal and sub mucosal layers, outside this are the nerves of the mucosal plexus A muscular layer with an inner circular muscle layer and an outer longitudinal layer Between the muscles are the nerves of the myenteric plexus A serosal layer which is continuous with the mesentry This is illustrated graphically here: General Anatomy [ edit]Mucosa [ edit]Layers of Intestine as illustrated in the stomachvilli (from Grays anatomy)The mucosal layer consists of a epithelial layer, and its underlying supportive tissue, the Lamina Propria. It is separated from the submucosal layer by the Muscularis Mucosa. The epithelial layer varies from section to section of the gut. In the oesophagus it is a non-cornified stratified squamous epithelium; in the stomach it is mainly mucosal cells; the small intestine and large intestine are characterized by absorptive cells, with many mucous producing goblet cells. In the absorptive sections of the intestine, the surface are for absorption is greatly increased by finger-like projections into the lumen called villi, and the absorptive cells themselves also have small projections of microvilli, giving them the appearence of a brush border when viewed with a light microscope. The lamina propria contains lymph and blood vessels which drain into larger vessels in the submucosal layer. Also in the lamina propria, particularly in the absorptive layers are numerous immune cells, wandering macrophages and lymphocytes, as well as aggregations of lymphoid tissue called called Peyers patches. By some estimates 80% of the body's lymphoid tissue is in the intestine. The cell-to-cell junctions are of the epithelia are mainly tight junctions."

"text": "The Anatomy of Digestion Good health depends upon not only good food but also good digestion and absorption. Without good digestion and absorption, the health giving nutrients of our food cannot be optimally used by the body. Therefore, before we can begin to appreciate the nutritive qualities of food, we must first appreciate and understand the organs of the body that are involved with digestion and the process of digestion itself. The Organs of Digestion The alimentary canal is a coiled tube about thirty feet long that passes through the center of the body. It extends from the mouth to the anus and includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine or colon. The alimentary canal, together with its accessory organs, the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas, make up the digestive tract. The purpose of the digestive tract is to perform chemical and mechanical digestion, absorption, waste storage, and excretion. The Process of Digestion Digestion is a series of physical and chemical changes by which food taken into the body undergoes hydrolysis (addition of water) and is broken down in preparation for absorption from the digestive tract into the bloodstream. Digestion takes place in the alimentary canal. In the upper section of the tract, mechanical digestion is accomplished by the chewing and grinding of food into smaller pieces, which are then pushed along the digestive tract."

Amylase: Starch digestion begins in the mouth (salivary amylase), and then continues in the duodenum (pancreatic amylase). Amylase digestion of starch produces maltose (disaccharide) and maltriose (trisaccharide) and oliosaccharides. Brush border enzymes: hydrolyze maltose, maltriose, and oligosaccharides, sucrose, lactose to monosaccharides for absorption. The three absorbable monosaccharides are glucose, galactose, and fructose."

"text": "Your mouth is the initial digestion site for starches. You may not think of it this way, but digestion begins in your mouth. Chewing your food thoroughly breaks it into smaller pieces, making more of its surface area accessible to digestive juices. Saliva is an integral part of that digestive process, supplying enzymes that dismantle starches and fats. Saliva Composition Saliva performs many functions. The watery or serous component of saliva moistens your food, making it easier to taste and preparing it for swallowing. Saliva's slippery texture comes from a specialized type of mucus that lubricates the inner surfaces of your mouth and makes swallowing food easier. Within these fluids are various enzymes -- proteins that act as catalysts for chemical reactions. Enzymes are highly specific and react with only a narrow range of substances, so saliva contains numerous enzymes to handle the many jobs it must do. Salivary Amylase Amylase, an enzyme that turns complex starches into simple sugars, is the most prevalent digestive juice in saliva."

The primary organs include the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. Accessory organs include the salivary glands, liver, gall bladder, and the pancreas. The walls of the digestive tract contain four layers. The inner most layer is the mucous (mucosa) membrane. It serves to protect the other tissues by adding a layer of mucous and it also carries on absorption and secretion. The next layer is the submucosa which contains loose connective tissue along with blood vessels, lymphatic vessel, and nerves. The vessels serve to nourish surrounding tissues and to carry away absorbed materials. The next layer is the muscular layer that consists of two coats of smooth muscle tissue."

"text": "The Chemistry And Physiology Of Digestion3. The Chemistry And Physiology Of Digestion For food to be utilized by the body, it must first undergo a series of processes which we call digestion. After we perform the only really voluntary actions involved in the process of nutrition—putting the food into our mouths, chewing and swallowing—the balance of the digestive process is the function of the autonomic or involuntary nervous system. The changes which foods undergo are largely effected by enzyme and digestive juices. The conditions under which “such action” can occur are sharply defined, and this is the logical foundation of the food combining system. Physiologists have ascertained the details of the chemistry of digestion through long and painstaking labors. It has remained for the Natural Hygienists to make practical application of this great fund of vital knowledge. Knowledge of the physiology and chemistry of digestion can lead us all to a food program that will insure better digestion and better nutrition.3.1 Enzymes Enzymes are proteinaceous organic catalysts in all living organisms, both plant and animal. Our digestive juices contain enzymes that accelerate chemical reaction by catalytic action, without themselves being used up in the process. Digestive enzymes can be used over and over again but eventually are replaced by the body."

About half, 3.5, liters is secreted from the exocrine glands, the salivary glands, the stomach and the liver, the other half is secreted by the epithelial cells of the of the digestive tract it self. Nearly all this fluid is absorbed, so the pellets of feces only contain a significant amount of fluid in diarrhea. To put this in perspective a 70 Kilogram man has about 42 liters of fluid, so the secretions represent about a sixth of the body's volume. The circulation contains about 3.5 liters, so these secretions represent twice the body's circulating volume.

People who read mystery novels know that too much saliva may be a sign of poisoning. Many poisons, including some mushrooms, arsenic and mercury, can cause too much saliva. Medications such as pilocarpine (used to treat glaucoma and other eye problems) occasionally can cause this as well. Sometimes, people make a normal amount of saliva but have a problem swallowing it. Infections such as strep throat, a throat abscess or the mumps can make swallowing difficult. Certain neurological diseases like Parkinson's or stroke can do the same thing.

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Biology Human Anatomy and Physiology Digestive System What are the accessory glands of the digestive system and describe their functions? Flag What are the accessory glands of the digestive system and describe their functions? Answer by Walshgu Confidence votes 997There are four accessory glands of the digestive system and they are the salivary glands, the pancreas, the liver and the gallbladder. The salivary glands in mammals are exocrine glands that produce saliva. They also secrete amylase, an enzyme that breaks down starch into glucose. The pancreas is both an endocrine gland (producing several important hormones, including insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin), as well as an exocrine gland, secreting pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes that pass to the small intestine. These enzymes help in the further breakdown of the carbohydrates, protein, and fat in the chyme. The liver plays a major role in metabolism and has a number of functions in the body, including glycogen storage, decomposition of red blood cells, plasma protein synthesis, and detoxification. It produces bile, an alkaline compound which aids in digestion, via the emulsification of lipids. It also performs and regulates a wide variety of high-volume biochemical reactions requiring very specialized tissues."

"text": "\"digestive system [2] The digestive system: overall view [3] A typical time scale for the passage of food through the digestive tract relates each part of the system to the time on the clock. Correct timing is essential for two reasons: food must stay in the stomach and small intestine long enough to allow complete breakdown of protein, fat, and carbohydrate; and the residue must pass through the large intestine slowly enough to allow water to be reabsorbed into the body. [ 4] The mouth is a gateway not only to the digestive system but also to the respiratory system. The esophagus (1) lies behind the trachea (2) which is supported by cartilage rings (3). The larynx is at the top of the trachea and its front is formed by the thyroid cartilage (4), so called because of its proximity to the thyroid gland ( (5). The flap-like epiglottis (6) is attached to this cartilage. Food, mixed with saliva, is formed into a bolus (7) and pushed by the tongue (8) into the pharynx. During swallowing (A, B) the soft palate (9) blocks entry to the nose and the epiglottis closes. The digestive system is the organ system that includes the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) and its accessory organs. The digestive system processes food into molecules that can be absorbed and utilized by the cells of the body."

These assumptions are based on history, cultural beliefs, and the finger you choose for your ring. Before putting on your rings, it is helpful to understand what each finger says about you and your lifestyle. Ring Meanings by Finger Source From your marital status to your profession, your rings tell a lot about you. Some fingers have special meaning, while others don't mean anything at all. Keep these associations in mind as you decide where you'll wear your jewelry. Left Pinky Finger From signet rings to wedding bands, a ring on the left pinky finger can symbolize a number of different things.

We describe a “palmar pivot flap” to resurface an adjacent defect on the palmar–lateral aspect of the digit. Methods The surgical technique is described. This flap is an axial pattern flap based on the subcutaneous transverse branches of the digital artery. The flap is pivoted up to 90° on the neurovascular bundle in its base, into an adjacent defect. The flap can be raised from either the proximal or the middle phalangeal segments. It can cover defects sited from the level of the proximal interphalangeal joint up to the fingertip. The donor defect is limited to the same digit and is covered with a full-thickness skin graft.

"text": "Abstract Full Text Figures References Cited by PDFKeywords: Computed tomography (CT), comparative studies, 43.12111, 43.12112, 43.12115 ; Fingers and toes, injuries, 43.489 ; Hand, CT, 43.1211 ; Hand, MR, 43.121411, 43.121412, 43.121413, 43.121415 ; Hand, US, 43.1298 ; Ultrasound (US), tissue characterization, 43.1298, 43.12988Normal finger flexion is a complex fine motor action that requires the integrity and orchestration of a number of delicate structures that are centered around the flexor tendon system. One of the most important, the pulley system, composed of focal thickened areas of the flexor tendon sheaths ( 1 – 3 ), is of paramount biomechanical importance in flexion, not only for accurate tracking of the tendon but also to maintain the apposition of tendon and bone across the joint and provide a fulcrum to elicit flexion and extension ( 2, 4 ). Loss of all or part of the flexor tendon pulley system has a substantial effect on digital motor performance because of the system’s role in maintaining the angle of approach of the flexor tendon to its insertion and its role as a retinacular restraint ( 5 ). Lesions of the pulley system are recognized with increasing frequency because of the growing popularity of activities such as rock climbing that impose extensive stress on the supporting structures of the hands and fingers. The diagnosis, location, and extent of pulley system lesions are of great importance in managing and predicting functional sequelae ( 6 – 10 ). Although several investigators ( 11 – 22) have studied ultrasonography (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the evaluation of flexor tendon abnormalities, diagnosis of lesions of the pulley system has been made only indirectly with the detection of a gap between the flexor tendon and the bone on sagittal CT scans and MR images, a finding referred to as the bowstring sign. This sign usually reflects an extensive abnormality of the pulley system that leaves limited or partial lesions of the system virtually undetected by means of indirect methods of visualization. In addition, these images must be obtained with the finger in flexion or forced flexion, which can prove challenging with regard to patient positioning and motion artifact. The purpose of this study was twofold: to describe the normal anatomy of the pulley system with MR imaging, CT, and US by using gross anatomic correlation as a standard of reference and to define the diagnostic criteria used to identify abnormalities of the pulley system by using these imaging modalities. MATERIALS AND METHODS Section: Choose prevnext Anatomic and Biomechanical Considerations The flexor synovial sheath is composed of visceral and parietal elements that extend from the neck of the metacarpal bone to the distal interphalangeal joint and are overlaid by a series of retinacular structures at five specific points along the tendon sheath ( Fig 1 )."

Psoriatic arthritis, gout, chondrocalcinosis, and reactive arthritis may all contribute to painful joints; however, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis remain the primary focus of surgical intervention. [ 1]Patients with arthritis of the hand present with pain, restricted mobility, and deformity. The underlying pathologic processes are distinguished on the basis of the history of disease onset and progression, distribution of joint involvement (monoarticular versus polyarticular), extraarticular manifestations, and review of serologic markers. Anatomy of the Arthritic Interphalangeal Joint The arthritic interphalangeal (IP) joint demonstrates fusiform joint swelling. With progression of the condition, marginal osteophytes (Bouchard nodes) become evident with progressive lateral deviation of the digits, as shown below.

"text": "Education Science Anatomy Nerves, Arteries, and Veins of the Wrist and Hand Nerves, Arteries, and Veins of the Wrist and Hand Related Book Clinical Anatomy For Dummies By David Terfera, Shereen Jegtvig Busy muscles need plenty of nerve supply and blood flow. Three main nerves (plus all their branches) work the wrist and hand, and many arteries and veins bring blood into and out of the hand. The nerves The main nerves you need to know for the wrist and hand come from the median, ulnar, and radial nerves. These nerves supply the skin, muscles, joints, and other tissues. The nerves allow you to feel what your hands and fingers are touching and help you move those muscles around. Median nerve: The median nerve enters the hand through the carpal tunnel, which is a passageway between the tubercles of the scaphoid and trapezium bones laterally and by the pisiform and the hook of the hamate on the medial side. It gives nerve supply to the thenar muscles and the first two lumbricals, plus it sends sensory fibers to the skin on the lateral part of the palm and to the sides and distal portions of the first three digits. The palmar cutaneous branch of the median nerve branches off before the carpal tunnel. It innervates the middle of the palm. Ulnar nerve: The ulnar nerve comes from under the tendon of the flexor carpi ulnaris and runs through the ulnar tunnel (or tunnel of Guyon), which is between the pisiform and the hook of the hamate."

The ulnar collateral ligament of elbow joint is in relation with the ulnar nerve. The nerve is the largest unprotected nerve in the human body (meaning unprotected by muscle or bone), so injury is common. This nerve is directly connected to the little finger, and the adjacent half of the ring finger, innervating the palmar aspect of these fingers, including both front and back of the tips, perhaps as far back as the fingernail beds. This nerve can cause an electric shock-like sensation by striking the medial epicondyle of the humerus from posteriorly, or inferiorly with the elbow flexed."

"text": "Median nerve Article Metrics Related Content Cite this page No Comments Sensory innervation The median nerve provides sensory innervation to the skin of the palmar side of the thumb, index, and middle fingers and the radial half of the ring finger. The radial side of the palm is innervated by the palmar cutaneous branch of the median nerve. This nerve branches from the median nerve proximal to the wrist. Motor innervation The nerve innervates most of the flexor muscles of the forearm with the exception of the flexor carpi ulnaris and the medial two digits of the flexor digitorum profundus, which are supplied by the ulnar nerve Unbranched, the median nerve supplies the following muscles: Pronator teres Flexor carpi radialis Palmaris longus Flexor digitorum superficialis The anterior interosseus branch supplies the following muscles: Lateral (radial) half of the flexor digitorum profundus Flexor pollicis longus Pronator quadratus In the hand, the median nerve provides innervation to:1st and 2nd lumbricals Thenar muscles: abductor pollicis brevis, flexor pollicis brevis, opponens pollicis Contributing spinal nerve roots C5, C6, C7, C8, T1Nerve Course The median nerve (C5-T1) forms from the medial and lateral cords of the brachial plexus on the ventral aspect of the axillary artery in the axilla and beneath the pectoralis minor's attachment to the corocoid process. It accompanies the artery through the arm within the axillary sheath in the medial intermuscular septum, deep to the short head of the biceps and lateral to the brachial artery into the cubital fossa. The median nerve is adjacent to the artery throughout and crosses the artery from lateral to medial at about midbrachium. The presence of an anomalous muscle associated with the latissimus dorsi and pectoralis major, Langer's muscle, may entrap the median nerve near its origin. The nerve's superficial course through most of the arm makes it somewhat vulnerable to superficial lacerations but well protected from injury that might accompany a fracture of the humerus. The nerve enters the forearm by passing through the cubital fossa, deep to the bicipital aponeurosis, medial to the antecubital vein and brachial artery, and separated from the joint capsule by the brachialis muscle. It is the most medial structure encountered with the exception of the common origin of the flexor and pronator tendons."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Finger (gesture))navigation search This article is about the gesture. For other uses, see Finger (disambiguation). Person \"\"giving the middle finger\"\"In Western culture, the finger or the middle finger (as in giving someone the (middle) finger or the bird [1] or flipping someone off) [1] is an obscene hand gesture. The gesture communicates moderate to extreme contempt, and is roughly equivalent in meaning to \"\"fuck off,\"\" \"\"fuck you,\"\" \"\"shove it up your ass,\"\" \"\"up yours,\"\" or \"\"go fuck yourself.\"\" It is performed by showing the back of a hand that has only the middle finger extended upwards, though in some locales, the thumb is extended. Extending the finger is considered a symbol of contempt in several cultures, especially in the West. Many cultures use similar gestures to display their disrespect, although others use it to express pointing without intentional disrespect toward other cultures. The gesture is usually used to express contempt but can also be used humorously or playfully. The gesture dates back to Ancient Greece and it was also used in Ancient Rome. Historically, it represented the phallus."

Here are six other things scientists have said we can tell from our digits Several studies have suggested a link between sexual orientation and digit ratio Photo: Alamy By Telegraph Men11:50AM GMT 20 Feb 2015Follow Another week, another study claiming men’s ring fingers hold the key to their personality. This time, researchers at Mc Gill University in Canada suggest men with ring fingers longer than their index fingers are more likely to be kind and caring than those whose second digit is longer. A 20-day study of 155 men found that men with comparatively longer ring fingers were more likely to laugh, compromise, compliment others and smile. The digit ratio - the difference in length between the second and fourth fingers - is an indication of the amount of testosterone the man was exposed to as a fetus within in his mother’s womb, earlier research has shown. A longer ring finger indicates greater exposure to the male hormone. But what else can we apparently gauge from the length of out digits?

How do you think it affects the opinions of others? Do you even care? Should you? The reality is that rings send a message. For thousands of years, men have worn them to signal status, wealth, commitment, and association. They can send the message that you’re not available, that you attended the Naval Academy (yes, I see your ring Annapolis man), that you’re part of a fraternal brotherhood, or that you’re from a culture not afraid to display wealth on the hands. For a man especially, wearing a ring beyond the wedding band is a statement. Be aware, though, wearing a signature ring is not a statement everyone will get."

"text": "RV Mattress Sizes & Dimensions In an effort to sleep as many people as possible, RV manufacturers have carefully customized bed sizes. The result is that some mattresses are smaller than their domestic counterparts and use a built-in bed frame without box springs. Though the sizes cover width and length, mattress depth can also vary. There are several factors to keep in mind before selecting the right mattress size, such as the height of the tallest person who will be sleeping in it, desired space for sleeping, and the space the mattress will inhabit. A list of mattresses and their dimensions are below. Twin Beds Often disguised as seating, twin---also called single---beds may also be arranged side by side or as bunk beds. These mattresses measure the same as a single bed at home: 39 inches by 75 inches. Twin mattresses can accommodate one child or one adult sleeper, although the length could be a bit too short for taller adults. Full Beds This is the same as a double bed. An RV full bed measures 54 inches by 75 inches, while a domestic full mattress is 53 by 75 inches, 1 inch narrower."

You can in F450 and 550, but not the 350. With standard cab, you can go to 12 feet normally...but even more than 12 feet if a rollback bed, so it is surprising they don't offer a slightly longer chassis on the extended cab version...but they don't. So, the question is, does GMC or Dodge offer this possiblity....a one ton extended cab (i.e. not a crew cab, but a cab with narrow rear seat) and chassis/wheelbase appropriate for at least 11 foot flatbed ? 07-27-2006, 01:23 PM #2TFPace Stainless Join Date Oct 2003Location Pinnacle, NC USAPosts 1,092Post Thanks / Like Likes (Given) 1461Likes (Received) 47My guess is that the difference in wheelbase is the reason behind only one frame length for the 350.

"text": "RV Mattress Sizes & Dimensions In an effort to sleep as many people as possible, RV manufacturers have carefully customized bed sizes. The result is that some mattresses are smaller than their domestic counterparts and use a built-in bed frame without box springs. Though the sizes cover width and length, mattress depth can also vary. There are several factors to keep in mind before selecting the right mattress size, such as the height of the tallest person who will be sleeping in it, desired space for sleeping, and the space the mattress will inhabit. A list of mattresses and their dimensions are below. Twin Beds Often disguised as seating, twin---also called single---beds may also be arranged side by side or as bunk beds. These mattresses measure the same as a single bed at home: 39 inches by 75 inches. Twin mattresses can accommodate one child or one adult sleeper, although the length could be a bit too short for taller adults. Full Beds This is the same as a double bed. An RV full bed measures 54 inches by 75 inches, while a domestic full mattress is 53 by 75 inches, 1 inch narrower."

"text": "Dimensions A full-size box spring is 75 inches in length.. When placed underneath a similar size mattress, the sturdiness of a full-size box spring helps to create a comfortable bed. . The dimensions of a full-size box spring vary depending on whether it's a low- or high-profile version. The lower versions are approximately 5 1/2 inches in height, while the high-profile version is a standard 9 inches in height. The difference between the low and high profiles is purely ascetic. The width of a full-size box spring is 53 inches, just 15 inches more than a twin, or single size. Purposes According to Dimensions Guide, in general, full-size box springs serve three basic purposes. They work to create a flat surface, sturdy enough to place a mattress on top, act as shock absorbers, and help raise the mattress height, making it easier to get in and out of bed. A full-size box spring also helps to expand the surface area and provides further support. Other Considerations At 75 inches long, a full-size box spring is the same length as a twin size. This measurement, however, is often the deciding factor when choosing between full and queen-size box spring sets, (a queen-size bed is 80 inches long)."

Determining Single Bed Sizes United States In the US, there are two other twin or single bed sizes, offering either a wider or longer bed; or both. The size that comes after the standard single is the extra long single and this measures 39 inches by 80 inches, giving you a bed that is 5 inches longer than the regular single.

"text": "\"So What Does Jumbo XL Mean Anyway? Good question; but one with many answers. It can be irritating to me, and, I am sure, confusing to customers, to see a medium size hammock described as \"\"XL\"\", which implies that it is a very large hammock, not a medium size hammock. Misleading descriptors like this are used all over the internet to justify a higher price for a lesser product. To help you sort through all this, I am going to discuss actual sizes and what they mean, technically, from the point of origin to you. Starting with the Mayan style hammock made in Mexico, usually the Yucatan Peninsula, there are a few things you should know. To start with, the looms that the artisans use are two meters, about six and a half feet, in length. They can be adjusted to be 2.1 meters or 2.2 meters, but seldom are. This fixes the length of the body or bed part of the hammock at about six and a half to seven feet for all Mayan hammocks, regardless of size. The size designations reflect, therefore, the width of the bed rather than the length."

Dinosaur teeth can tell you many things about it, such as the type of food that it ate, how it got its food, and how it digested its food (did it chew food, crush or grind food, or just eat it whole?). Teeth are much harder than bone, and so they fossilize more readily. Countless fossilized dinosaur teeth have been uncovered. Some dinosaur species such as Cardiodon, Trachodon and Deinodon are only known to have existed because of their fossilized teeth. By looking at the shape of the dinosaurs teeth we can figure out what they ate when they were alive. Allosaurus had long teeth with sharp edges that were pointed and curved back towards its throat. Even today, every reptile that has this type of teeth is a meat-eater. Reptiles that browse for food, such as the iguana, have low and tiny leaf-shaped teeth used for shredding plants, much like dinosaurs before them did (Stegosaurs, Ankylosaurs and Hypsilophodontids)."

Scientists typically avoid using the term and concentrate on individual genera, such as Pterodactylus and Pteranodon . There are at least 130 valid pterosaur genera, according to David Hone, a paleontologist at Queen Mary University of London. They were widespread and lived in numerous locations across the globe, from China to Germany to the Americas. Pterosaurs first appeared in the late Triassic Period and roamed the skies until the end of the Cretaceous Period (228 to 66 million years ago), according to an article published in 2008 in the German scientific journal Zitteliana. Pterosaurs lived among the dinosaurs and became extinct around the same time, but they were not dinosaurs. Rather, pterosaurs were flying reptiles. Modern birds didn't descend from pterosaurs; birds' ancestors were small, feathered, terrestrial dinosaurs. The first pterosaur discovered was Pterodactylus, identified in 1784 by Italian scientist Cosimo Collini, who thought he had discovered a marine creature that used its wings as paddles. A French naturalist, Georges Cuvier, proposed that the creatures could fly in 1801, and then later coined the term \"\"Ptero-dactyle\"\" in 1809 after the discovery of a fossil skeleton in Bavaria, Germany."

It starts out in the first that everything is about to experience instant permafrost for the next few thousand years, and in the next, everything is melting, and a mammoth, giant ground sloth, and sabretooth cat with the same names and personalities (and, in the case of Sid, Lord of the Flame, skills) as the first movie's protagonists are experiencing the end of the ice age, and nobody thinks it would ever end, because everything has been frozen since before the earliest stories. They could have easily handwaved this, by saying it's the first movie's characters' descendants, or by not having everyone say that the ice had been there forever (the sloth priestess did say it was lava melting the ice), but they don't even bother explaining the discrepancy. I always thought the first movie took place near the end of the Ice Age. Remember, most of the animals were headed south, where it was warmer, and Manny was moving against the flow which is how he got wrapped-up with the left-behind Sid. After the errand with the human was done, the three of them could've just followed common sense and moved south too. The \"\"Ice Age\"\" wasn't just long stretch of permafrost. It was cyclical. Actually, going by the specific assortment of animals seen (and ignoring the dodos ), it's pretty clear that the film is intended to be set in South America. Moving south would most likely take them into colder territory, not warmer."

"text": "Mammoth Comes To Life Chris Buzelli The first use of the word “ de-extinction ” was, as far as I can tell, in science fiction. In his 1979 book The Source of Magic, Piers Anthony describes an explorer who suddenly finds himself in the presence of cats, which, until that moment, he had believed to be an extinct species. Anthony writes, “ [The explorer] just stood there and stared at this abrupt de-extinction, unable to formulate a durable opinion.” I imagine this is precisely how many of us might react to our first encounter with a living version of something we thought was extinct. The idea that de-extinction may actually be possible—that science could advance to the point where extinction is no longer forever—is both exhilarating and terrifying, even to me. I am a biologist. I teach classes and run a research laboratory at the University of California at Santa Cruz. My lab specializes in a field of biology called ancient DNA. We and other scientists working in this field develop tools to isolate DNA sequences from bones, teeth, hair, seeds, and other tissues of organisms that used to be alive. We then use those sequences to study ancient populations."

Learning about them is fun and becomes easier when they are studied according to the foods they ate. Learn more about the different types of dinosaurs according to their meals. About Dinosaurs Millions of years ago, different types of dinosaurs ruled the planet. There were various sizes and species of dinosaurs spread across different time periods. They are now being categorized according to species, to their kind of diet, their size, and the time period when they roamed the earth. Like animals today, different kinds of dinosaurs had different tastes in food. Some love to eat plants, others meat, and many lived to consume both plants and meat. Of course, there are no direct evidence to determine what exactly a dinosaur ate because noone was alive back then to actually see what dinosaurs actually ate. These classifications were based by scientists on clues found in dinosaur fossils."

Credit: Mark A. Klingler, Carnegie Museum of Natural History. Researchers announcing a newly described dinosaur called it the “chicken from hell,” “hell’s chicken” and “scary as well as absurd. ”More prosaically known as Anzu wyliei, the beaked dinosaur stood about ten feet tall and more than 11 feet long with a tall crest on its head and sharp claws. A. wyliei lived about 66 million years ago in what’s now North and South Dakota, possibly sharing the same habitat as the iconic Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratop s species. Researchers announced the new species this week. Feathers and Claws Despite its vicious-looking claws, A. wyliei likely ate vegetation, small animals and possibly the eggs of other species. It lived on a floodplain and, while flightless, had a bird-like appearance with slender legs and a toothless jaw. Although no fossilized evidence of feathers were found, based on its relationship with other feathered species, researchers believe the animal had feathers on its tail and arms.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Parasaurolophus, a crested hadrosaur. Hadrosaurids, also commonly referred to as duck-billed dinosaurs or hadrosaurs, were large terrestrial herbivores. The diet of hadrosaurid dinosaurs remains a subject of debate among paleontologists, especially regarding whether hadrosaurids were grazers who fed on vegetation close to the ground, or browsers who ate higher-growing leaves and twigs. Preserved stomach content findings have indicated they may have been browsers, whereas other studies into jaw movements indicate they may have been grazers. The mouth of a hadrosaur had hundreds of tiny teeth packed into dental batteries. These teeth were continually replaced with new teeth. [ 1] Hadrosaur beaks were used to cut food, either by stripping off leaves [2] [3] or by cropping. [ 1] It is believed hadrosaurs had cheeks in order to keep food in the mouth. [ 4] [5]Researchers have long believed their unusual mouth mechanics may have played a role in their evolutionary success. [ 6] However, because they lack the complex flexible lower jaw joint of today's mammals, it has been difficult for scientists to determine exactly how the hadrosaurs broke down their food and ate. ["

Shop Now Dinosaurs are used more than almost anything else to indoctrinate children and adults in the idea of millions of years of earth history. However, the Bible gives us a framework for explaining dinosaurs in terms of thousands of years of history, including the mystery of when they lived and what happened to them. Two key texts are Genesis 1:24–25 and Job 40:15–24. Are Dinosaurs a Mystery? Many think that the existence of dinosaurs and their demise is shrouded in such mystery that we may never know the truth about where they came from, when they lived, and what happened to them. However, dinosaurs are only a mystery if you accept the evolutionary story of their history. According to evolutionists: Dinosaurs first evolved around 235 million years ago, long before man evolved."

"text": "\"Home | Photo Library | Fossils | Geology | Parks | History | Indians | Islands | Plants | Animals |Fossil Formation | Geologic Time | Dinosaur Facts | Johnson Farm Tracks | Swimming Tracks | Dinosaur Eggs | Glossary Are all fossil animals dinosaurs? No. Dinosaurs are a group of ancient reptiles that had a set of particular skeletal features. The hips, hind legs, and ankles were specialized and allowed the legs to move directly under the body, rather than extending out from the side of the body as in modern lizards. This arrangement enabled dinosaurs to bring their knees and ankles directly below their hips and provided the necessary attachments for very strong leg muscles. Dinosaur skeletons were well designed for supporting a large body, for standing erect (upright), and for running. The front legs were adapted for grasping prey, for supporting weight, or for walking and running. The skulls of dinosaurs were designed for maximum strength, for minimum weight, and (in some cases) for grasping, holding, or tearing at prey. These skeletal features separated dinosaurs from other ancient reptiles such as Dimetrodon, the plesiosaurs, and pterosaurs. Fossil mammals, like mammoths and \"\"saber-toothed tigers\"\" (e.g., Smilodon ), are also often incorrectly called dinosaurs."

Australia’s Aborigines … did they see dinosaurs?by Rebecca Driver Geelong Advertiser Newspaper sketch of a bunyip seen at Barwon Lakes. Africa’s Congo jungle is becoming increasingly known as the reputed refuge of a mysterious creature called Mokele-Mbembe. 1 The locals appear familiar with this creature, which they readily identify from drawings of fossil reconstructions as being like one of the dinosaurs. Few realize, however, that similar accounts occur in other parts of the world. Australian Aborigines have stories of encounters with huge, sometimes frightening monsters which range from what sound like dinosaurs to giant marsupials, also believed to have long become extinct. The Aboriginal people The term ‘Aboriginal’ is loosely applied to the people who were living in Australia at the time of European settlement 200 years ago. There were hundreds of different tribes scattered across the continent, varying in their language and customs. 2Dreamtime monsters The myths and legends of the Aboriginal people, including their accounts of the creation of the world, are known as the Dreamtime."
