The village is very uniquely set up – all the housing complex and other public facilities such as meeting hall and other things is surrounded by wall so when you enter the complex is just like one huge compound. Their religious practice is very much different than the other Balinese as well as their tradition too is very unique and still very strongly well-kept and respected; inter marriage in their community and if somebody married to an outsider than they are no longer allowed to live in the complex (not being excile, No one in the village are allowed to cut a tree in their forest until the tree itself is broken or dead already. We are allowed to stroll and see their complex and see their daily life. As you finished strolling in the village we will take you to Virgin Beach – is the only white sand beach found in the eastern area of Bali. May be because it is beautiful and secluded that is why the tourist name the beach as "Virgin Beach". It is your day for relax, swimming and sunbathing or take a walk to absorb the beautiful view along the beach before we go back to the hotel in just about 15 minute drive.

UCLA's defense executed its game plan and helped snap an 11-game losing streak against Stanford with a 34-16 Pac-12 victory on Thursday night at Stanford Stadium.
The keys to victory were simple. The defense couldn't allow early points and had to put pressure on Jack West, the Cardinal's third-string quarterback, who was playing behind a depleted offensive line.
Linebacker Keisean Lucier-South and the Bruins recorded five of their season-high seven sacks while the team opened a 21-10 lead during the first half.
UCLA held Stanford to 35 yards on its final six possessions of the first half, and the Cardinal lost 8 yards combined on three consecutive first-half possessions as West was sacked on three consecutive third downs.
"It starts with good coverage and a good pass rush," UCLA coach Chip Kelly said. "We did a good job of creating pressure on the quarterback."
By the end of the night, the Bruins (2-5 overall, 2-2 Pac-12) had held Stanford under 200 yards of total offense (143 passing, 55 rushing), the first time a UCLA defense held an opponent under 200 yards since 2009.
"There were times where we thought we had enough time to get (a pass) off and we didn't get it off," Stanford coach David Shaw said about the Cardinal's pass protection. "Sometimes we didn't have enough time to get it off."
The seven sacks were the Bruins' highest total since they had seven in the 2015 Alamo Bowl game against Kansas State.
All of Stanford's 10 first-half points came via special teams. The Cardinal (3-4, 2-3) took its only lead of the game with a 42-yard field goal by kicker Jet Toner on the opening drive.
Stanford scored its lone touchdown when Spencer Jorgensen blocked Wade Lee's punt with 1:29 left in the first quarter and Brycen Tremayne recovered it in the end zone to cut UCLA's lead to 14-10.
UCLA quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson made his return as the starter after an ankle injury against Arizona on Sept. 28 kept him out of the following week's loss to Oregon State.
The UCLA offense benefited from his return immediately, as he threw a pair of first-quarter touchdown passes and ran 1 yard for another touchdown in the second quarter. Thompson-Robinson finished the night 21-of-34 for 192 yards, with two touchdowns and an interception. He also ran for 66 yards and the one score.
"Their quarterback is an X-factor," Shaw said after the game. "Quick. Athletic. Explosive. You give (UCLA coach) Chip Kelly a guy like that and we have seen that movie before."
The Bruins have reiterated for weeks that they could win more games if they could put together a well-balanced game on offense.
It finally happened with a strong performance from Thompson-Robinson, wide receiver Kyle Philips and running back Joshua Kelley.
"We are balanced right now," Chip Kelly said. "We have the ability with Josh and Demetric (Felton) to run the ball. I thought Dorian really kept things alive with his legs."
Kelley rushed for 176 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries, as the Bruins out-rushed Stanford 233-43 and averaged 6.1 yards per carry.
The last time UCLA had a game with a 100-yard receiver and rusher was last season against Washington when Kelley rushed for 125 and tight end Caleb Wilson had 102 receiving yards.
"I love this group," Kelly said. "They want to get better."
UCLA will host true freshman quarterback Jayden Daniels and No. 17 Arizona State (5-1, 2-1) on Oct. 26 at the Rose Bowl.

Some prefer paper books and some prefer tablets, but there are still plenty of people looking for the best eReader out there – these devices offer a much better reading experience than a tablet, and are more convenient and portable than books.
An eReader lets you carry an entire library of books in one tiny device – but which is the best Kindle or the best eReader out there right now? Let T3's best ereader guide show you the finest digital book readers on the market today.
- PS5 pre-orders: Reserve your PlayStation 5
- Only interested in Kindles? Check out our round-up of the best Amazon Kindle deals
- Read our the Amazon Kindle Oasis review
- Or discover what the best Amazon Kindle ereaders are right now
- iPad Pro vs iPad Air: the battle of Apple's premium tablets
Why you should buy an eReader
As they're digital, ebooks have the potential to be cheaper than paper books – though for tax and publisher reasons, this isn't always the case. They're certainly quicker to get hold of, and can be downloaded to a device in seconds.
You can fully customise your reading experience as well: making the font larger (or smaller), highlighting favourite quotes non-destructively, and even looking up words you don't know using the built-in dictionaries.
Kindle by Amazon is the most established eReader platform out there, and by far the top dog when it comes to these sorts of devices. If you want the pick up a device on which you can read all your favourite novels or textbooks, some variety of Amazon Kindle is likely to be the best option.
The Kindle is lightweight and ultra-slim – and thus perfect for travelling – and the range comes with anti-glare screens that make reading ebooks more like looking at the pages of a real book.
Some Kindles also come with a backlight, so you can continue reading while your eReader adapts to your surroundings. Read in pitch black conditions, read out in the sun, or even enjoy a book in the bath – it would appear Amazon's engineers have thought of just about everything.
The Amazon Kindle isn't the only option, however. Tablet style eReaders offer similar options and bring the added benefit of being able to use other apps and browse the internet. Battery life will, of course, not be as long with all the extra features in use or without those power-saving e-ink screens.
So make the right choice for you, and take a look at our top picks for the best eReader of 2020 to suit all lifestyles and budgets.
Our pick of the best ereaders for you
1. Kindle Oasis
Read anywhere with the weather-proof big-boy Kindle
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
Amazon's Kindle collection is extensive, but the Kindle Oasis is, as far as we're concerned, the best Kindle on the market. It has a large-enough screen, it's brightly lit when it needs to be, and it has built-in Wi-fi for downloading new titles.
The Kindle Oasis, robust and weighty, is even waterproof up to 2 metres, which is a feature that's of questionable value but one we love anyway. We're also fond of that ergonomic design, which pushes the centre of gravity to one side (your choice) in order to make the whole thing easier to hold with one hand. It feels much more like a book than any of its predecessors.
2. Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
A super-clear screen for comfortable e-reading
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
As long as you're happy having a smaller screen to read from, the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is a great little companion. It's compact enough that it'll slot into any available space in your handbag or backpack, and brilliantly clear.
That name isn't just a marketing gimmick, the screen really is clear and white and oh so readable. Sometimes the light can get a little bright, even on the dimmest brightness, but that's a small niggle with an otherwise excellent e-reader.
3. Amazon Kindle Kids Edition
The best eReader for children
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
The Kindle Kids Edition is an ideal eReader for both beginner and more-experienced readers. The bundle includes a brightly coloured durable cover, one year of Amazon Fire for Kids Unlimited (which includes popular series like Harry Potter, Geek Girl, and timeless classics like The Secret Garden) and a 2-year worry-free guarantee.
You can set educational goals for your child, and manage content with easy-to-use parental controls. You can also view your child's reading progress for each book and track reading accomplishments for each day.
Since Kindle Kids Edition is designed only for reading, it does not have access to the Internet or social media. Kindle Kids Edition includes tools to help young readers tackle more challenging books, such a vocabulary Builder: Words looked up in the built-in dictionary are automatically added to Vocabulary Builder and Word Wise.
Once your child has outgrown the Kindle Kids Edition (or if you fancy borrowing it), the device can be turned into a regular Kindle Paperwhite, with access to Kindle's full library of titles.
4. reMarkable
An ereader, and so much more
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
Highlighting and bookmarking is a common feature on most e-readers, but none does quite the same job as the reMarkable. It's truly an advanced e-reader, on which you can scribble, draw, and sketch to your heart's content using a battery-free pen, and use its massive screen to read all your favourite ebooks.
We have concerns about its battery, which is notably shorter than most because of its more advanced hardware makeup, it's not entirely compatible with all ebook formats (although converting formats is relatively trivial) and it's damn expensive. But the reMarkable so much more than every other e-ink device, we can't help but love it.
5. Kindle
A classic Kindle – affordable, and still perfectly useable
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
For all the upgrades it's undergone over the years, the base-standard Kindle remains a very good e-reader. It might not be the most up-to-date version, but ebooks haven't exactly changed. If you just want a cheap, solid platform for reading ebooks and perhaps purchasing from the Amazon store, this will do the job perfectly.
The only thing it really misses is a backlight behind its anti-glare screen, but since there's rarely a backlight on a paper book we think you'll be able to cope.
6. Kobo Aura One
An excellent Kindle contender at a much lower price
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
Just picking up a device to read books doesn't necessarily mean emptying your wallet on a Kindle Oasis. The Kobo Aura One, at a fraction of the price, is a great alternatice. It's functional, with many similar features to the Kindle, although it tends to jumble up your virtual bookshelf a little more than its rival.
There's a backlight, so you'll be able to get stuck into a novel in bed without waking your significant other, and the screen is on the larger end of the Kobo line. Kobo's friendliness to libraries is also a big plus; if you're racking up a big ebook bill with Amazon, borrowing those books could be a much better option.
7. Kobo Aura H20 Edition 2
A life-proof safety-packed e-reader for on the go
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
Many people pick up an e-reader when travelling, because it's a far lighter and more straightforward way of keeping a big bundle of books with you, and there's no chance of your bookmark getting jostled out of place in a bag. But backpacking or hiking comes with its own risks, and the Kobo Aura H2O can stand up to them.
It's waterproof, so it'll take a dunk in a metre of water, and it'll resist both sand and dust – if you're likely to be reading in extreme conditions, this is the choice for you, and it has plenty of storage so you can absolutely pack it with text.
8. Amazon Fire 7 Tablet
A tablet, yes, but one with perfectly good e-reader chops
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
The Amazon Fire 7 is an affordable tablet that's surprisingly capable once you get into it – and it's a great family tablet, too, with a restricted mode for kids. But it's also the perfect way to access the Kindle store, and all the readable benefits of an Amazon Prime subscription.
Sure, the screen doesn't have quite the serene readability of an e-ink display, and the battery can't match that of a Kindle, but if you're investing anyway, it may suit you better to pick up a device with a host more capabilities on board.
- Want a more full-fat tablet experience? These are the best tablets available today
- While these are the Best laptops to buy

In regard to being a power of attorney (PoA), how far back do you have to keep documentation for accounting purposes?
I have been PoA for my mother since 2004 and had to place her in a nursing home due to her dementia in June, 2015; she is now 90 and has enough assets to pay for her care with her private funds for at least a few more years. Because of the the 5-year Medicaid look-back period, I have been discarding all records that go beyond 5 years, and have been doing so on a monthly basis. For example, this month (July 2016) I discarded all records dated June, 2011.
Do I need to hold onto everything, no matter how old it is, just in case of an audit (for example, at the request of my siblings) or is 5 years of record keeping sufficient?

Should Schools Screen Teachers for Innovation?
Reflecting on some recent biz-tech reading he's been doing, Bill Ferriter questions whether schools are doing enoughif anythingto evaluate prospective teacher-hires by their potential for innovation. He's developed a few sample interview questions to help them along. Here's a good one:

Map Making with Styles
ArcMap is the tool for integrating data and using maps in ArcInfo. Data from shapefiles, coverages, tables, CAD drawings, images, grids, and TINs can be integrated using ArcMap. Many powerful tools for creating, viewing, querying, editing, composing, and publishing maps are available through the ArcMap interface. Styles, one of these tools, makes it easier than ever to present the results of analysis.
What is a Style?
A style is a defined set of symbols and map elements that describes not only how data is drawn, but also the appearance and placement of map elements, symbols, and other cartographic additions to the map. Styles can be accessed directly from the interface in ArcMap by choosing Tools>Styles from the menu. This provides access to dialog boxes for managing, referencing, and exporting map styles.
Map templates and feature layers work with styles to help users quickly produce maps that communicate effectively and are visually pleasing. Styles can help maintain consistency in the choice of symbols, colors, and patterns and in the methods of rendering distributions, relationships, and trends for an organization or an industry. Sharing styles within an organization can improve productivity and standardize the maps an organization produces so they will be more easily understood by map users.
Use Industry or Custom Styles
ArcMap comes with a robust collection of generic symbols and map elements designated as the Esri style as well as a wide range of industry-specific styles. Industry styles are used to make maps that convey the right message for a specific application such as utilities, transportation, or local government. In addition to the styles that come with ArcMap, custom styles can be easily created by modifying map elements and symbols while designing a map and saving these modifications to a style. Exporting map styles saves map elements and symbols from many styles into a single style. Editing map symbols is intuitive and direct.
Simply click on the desired item in the table of contents to bring up the Symbol Selector. The symbols from referenced styles can be previewed and/or selected. Clicking on items in the Options section of the dialog lets the user change the color, size, and angle of the currently selected symbol. Clicking on the More Symbols button brings up a list of all the available styles so additional styles can be referenced. Extensive revisions of the symbol can be made by clicking on the Properties button and using the Symbol Property Editor. Modified symbols and elements will be automatically saved to the user's personal style but can be moved to another style using the Style Manager.
Styles can be added or removed anytime during an ArcMap session. The list of styles available can be modified so that only selected styles are accessible to users. In ArcMap, anything that is drawn on a map-a symbol, map element, or graphic-is copied to the map document so the originally referenced styles aren't needed to open or draw the map again.
Managing Styles
The Style Manager helps organize styles and their contents.
Symbols and map elements can be cut, copied, pasted, renamed, and modified in the Style Manager. The user's personal style, the Esri default style, and any other styles that have been referenced and are therefore available to the map are displayed in the Style tree. The contents of the symbol and map element files associated with a style can be previewed by opening folders in the Style tree.
This introduction to styles demonstrates the powerful and easy-to-use tools available in ArcMap. Use styles, along with map templates and feature layers, to streamline map production and tailor maps to specific audiences.

Big Bend Kayak Report
5 – 13 to 5 – 16 -2010
Day 1 "Anticipation"
Wow, where do you start when you spend three days in paradise? I guess you start at the beginning. My good friend Dave Robinson had planned a camping trip to the Big Bend area for some time, I met him on the road in Crystal River and we formed our two vehicle caravan the rest of the way to our campsite. A couple other friends, Tom and Justin would be joining us later.
Base Camp
So after getting the campsite setup, Dave and I were off. Less than a mile and thirty minutes from the launch, we were on the fish. We working a small cove and I spotted this tail pop up. Since I was shooting pictures I called Dave over. For several anxious minutes nothing happened. I just knew Dave was thinking, "This guy is nuts, there's nothing over here" when all of a sudden I heard his jaw drop.
On the second cast Dave dropped it right in front of the "Big Ugly" and it was on.
The rest of the afternoon it was one tail after another.
Pulled hook!!
We poked around, never really getting out of sight of the launch, looking for the other species on our list, Redfish.
Day 1 comes to an end.
Day 2 "Un-Announced Breakfast Guest's"
Day 2 dawned and since we were dealing with a low tide, (low tides up here equal not enough water for a kayak) we decided to have some breakfast before heading out. Our buddy Tom had arrived the following night, so we were just getting ready to grub out when our guest's showed up. Now we had been warned about them before hand, but these guests almost ended up as part of the meal.
After breakfast we arrived at the launch to find someone has stolen all the water. No worries. Hoping Windfinder.com would be right about the winds dying down later, we shoved off.
Finding some relief from the leeside of an island, Dave took the opportunity to break out the fly rod. His goal of taking a redfish on fly was not achieved this trip, but it wasn't for a lack of trying.
Once the tide had come up, we went back to an area we hit the day before and the reds were there.

All three of us had really good luck with 1/4oz Johnson Silver spoons. Not too much later our ole friends who we had to come to refer to as the "Big Uglies" showed back up.
Dave set up on one and waited for the perfect opportunity.
Another great day came to an end.
This area is calm country; they farm them just off shore, so we just had to have some for dinner.
Day 3 "Going to School"
Dustin has arrived the night before, so today we would be following him around to a new area. This is Dustin's home waters and he has the place dialed in. So off the four of us went on a 10 mile paddle in search of more of the same.
The tide was really low as we headed out, once we came back it had come way up and the area looked completely different.
Dustin is one hell of a fly fisherman and he did not disappoint.
He's pretty handy with a bait caster too. While I was chasing more tailing "Big Uglies", he was catching them with a spinner bait.
I had no luck what so ever with the black drum, but I did manage a redfish or two. These are really nice fish, they hit hard, are fat as a cow and just don't quit.
Tom getting in on the redfish action.
Dustin with an absolute pig.
Like all good things, this day came to end way too soon. Fellows, I enjoyed it. That's a special place and we will most assuredly go back. null

Rick loved drawing, billiards and loved all kinds music from the BeeGee's, Gary Allen to Ace of Base and Lady GaGa, anything with a good beat. Fishing was one of his favorite past times, giving him solitude from all the yakking women in his life. (Boy can we talk!) Who wouldn't need that quiet time?

This bowl has been made from un-dyed native British wool using a wet felting method to create a seamless structure. I added a touch of green Merino to the base of the bowl to create a mossy effect, and decorated the edge with needle felted flowers in lovely soft colours.
:x, so lovely. However, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make it

What is keratoconus?
Keratoconus is a condition that results in progressive thinning of the cornea. The cornea is the clear, front window of the eye, which focuses light onto the retina. The cornea is normally smooth and dome-shaped. However, in keratoconus, the cornea becomes very thin, irregular, and starts to protrude like a cone. This causes blurred vision that is often not correctable with glasses. Keratoconus usually involves both eyes, however one eye may be more advanced than the other.
What causes Keratoconus?
The cause of keratoconus is still not known. Genetics plays a role, since approximately 10% of people with keratoconus also have a family member with the condition. Certain ethnic groups are also more predisposed to developing keratoconus.
How is Keratoconus treated?
Treatment often depends on the severity of the condition, and presence of progression. During early stages, vision can be corrected with glasses. As the condition progresses, rigid contact lenses may need to be worn.
Progression, if present, can in most cases be stopped with collagen cross-linking treatment, a day procedure that strengthens and stiffens the cornea. However, cross-linking is ineffective in advanced keratoconus, so early detection is important.
Patients who have keratoconus should refrain from rubbing their eyes, as this can aggravate the corneal thinning, and make symptoms worse.
When good vision is no longer possible with contact lenses, a corneal transplant may be recommended. This operation is only necessary in about 10-20% of patients with keratoconus. Of all conditions requiring corneal transplants, keratoconus has the best prognosis for clear vision.

The Origins of the Cold War 1945-1960
- Created by: remybray
- Created on: 03-06-16 16:54
Why did the USA and USSR become rivals 1945-49?
Ideological differences and their effects
- America had a short history. Its geographical position made it secure, making the American people feel strong and safe. It had strong industries, efficient farming and much overseas trade. These things made America the richest country in the world.
- The Soviet Union had a long history. It had an unsafe Western border, across which many invaders had come. The Soviet Union was rich in natural resources but its industries and farms were not yet fully modernised.
- America's government is democratic - the government is chosen through free elections. America's economic system is capitalist - all industry and land is owned by private individuals or businesses who keep the profits.
- The USSR's government was a one party dictatorship - people could only vote for communists. The USSR's economic system was Communist - everything is owned by the state and not run for private profit.
- These differences led to different policies, which aroused fears in the minds of Americans and Soviets. Both were suspicious that they each wanted to impose their own system of government on the world.
1 of 26
Why did the USA and USSR become rivals 1945-49?
Ideological differences
- At the end of the war, Stalin, the Soviet leader, tried to get as much territory for the USSR and Communism as he could.
- The Americans and the West thought that this was because Stalin wanted 'World Communism'.
- The Soviets claimed that Stalin wanted to protect the USSR from future invasion.
- Some of the actions of the Allies during the war had aroused Stalin's suspicions.
- The Americans had delayed in opening a second front in Europe by invading France to relieve pressure on the USSR. Stalin thought that this was because they wanted Soviet Russia to be exhausted by fighting the Germans, leaving the USSR open to attack.
- Stalin tried to prevent further attacks on the USSR by building a 'buffer zone' of states friendly to the USSR between the USSR and the democratic countries in the West.
2 of 26
Why did the USA and USSR become rivals 1945-49?
The Yalta and Potsdam Conferences
- This conference was held in February 1945, just before the end of the war to decide what to do with Germany after its defeat. The conference was attended by Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill. The leaders agreed on the following:
- Germany was to be divided into 4 zones occupied by Britain, France, the USA and USSR.
- Berlin was also to be divided into 4 zones of occupation.
- Nazi war criminals were to be hunted down and tried for their crimes.
- Countries in Eastern Europe were to have free elections.
- The Soviet Union was to declare war on Japan within 3 months.
- A United Nations (UN) organisation should be set up to replace the League of Nations and to keep peace.
- Germany should pay reparations for the war.
3 of 26
Why did the USA and USSR become rivals 1945-49?
- This conference was held after the defeat of Germany, but while the war against Japan was still going on.
- Roosevelt had died in April 1945 and was replaced by Truman, who was more suspicious of Stalin and did not get on as well with him. Churchill was defeated in a general election in Britain and replaced by Attlee.
- Soviet troops had occupied most of Eastern Europe and stayed there. Part of East Germany was taken over by the new communist government in Poland, which had the support of Stalin. There had been no free elections. This was against what had been agreed at Yalta.
- On 16 July the Americans successfully tested the atom bomb. Stalin was not told immediately and it was clear that the USA was not going to share the secret with its allies. This increased Stalin's suspicions.
- On reparations it was decided that each country could take its own reparations from its own occupied zone, but the Western powers did allow the USSR to receive industrial equipment and goods from their zones.

Why did the USA and USSR become rivals 1945-49?
The dropping of the atom bomb and its effects
- On 10 August 1945 the war against Japan ended after the USA dropped atom bombs on Hiroshima (6 August) and Nagasaki (9 August).
- Stalin had promised to declare war on Japan in return for receiving territory in the Far East at the Yalta Conference in February, but he delayed entering the war against Japan.
- Although Stalin was made aware of the successful testing of the bomb, he was not told that the Americans planned to use it against Japan.
- The atom bombs killed as many as 140,000 people in Hiroshima and 80,000 in Nagasaki.

Why did the USA and USSR become rivals 1945-49?
The Iron Curtain: Soviet expansion in the East
- The USSR and Communism expanded after the Second World War. Stalin was determined to build his 'buffer' states on the western frontier, whcih would prevent any future invasion of Soviet Russia.
- The Red Army remained in control and communist governments that supported the USSR were set up.
- At Yalta, the powers agreed that all the countries freed from German control should be allowed to decide their own government in free elections.
- In Czechoslovakia, a coalition government was freely elected in 1946. Communists seized power in 1948 before elections. The leaders of rival political parties were arrested and executed. The Czech Jan Masaryk was murdered.
- Churchill appeared to fear this Soviet advance as early as 1945.
- In 1946 in the USA Churchill made his famous speech in which the term 'Iron Curtain' was born.
- The Iron Curtain is used to describe the imaginary line between Communism in the East and the democratic governments of the West.
6 of 26
Why did the USA and USSR become rivals 1945-49?
The Truman Doctrine
- Truma showed his open opposition to Communiam after events in Greece where there was a civil war.
- In 1944 British troops freed Greece from Nazi control and restored the monarchy. Since then Britain had been helping the Greek King in the fight against communists who were trying to take over the country. Elections had taken place in 1946 and the parties that supported the monarchy were successful.
- This was not accepted by the communists, who continued their resistance using guerilla tactics against the governement. The communists were being helped by Albania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia.
- Elsewhere the Soviet Union was also putting pressure on Turkey. Communism was getting close to the Middle East, whose oil supplies were vital to the West.
- President Truman feared that if Greece fell to Communism, other countries in Western Europe, e.g. Italy and France, might follow suit.
- By 1947 Britain was unable to continue its support for the monarchy and informed the Americans of this.
7 of 26
Why did the USA and USSR become rivals 1945-49?
The Truman Doctrine
- On 12 March 1947, Truman gave a major speech in which he persuaded the US Congress to support Greece and Turkey. This became known as the Truman Doctrine.
- Congress accepted Truman's argument and granted $400 million, which was used to support Greece and Turkey against communist influence.
- With the help of American arms and money, the communist threat in Greece was defeated by 1949 and Turkey was able to resist pressure from the USSR, particularly over the Dardanelles.
- The Truman Doctrine showed that the USA was not going to revert to isolation and Truman made it clear that the USA would aim to stop the spread of Communism throughout the world. This became known as the 'policy of containment'.
- Communism would be contained within its exisiting boundaries and not allowed to spread.
- Many communists felt that it was a declaration of war against Communism and so regarded it as the start of the Cold War.
8 of 26
Why did the USA and USSR become rivals 1945-49?
The Marshall Plan
- The economies of Europe has been ruined by the Second World War and governments in France and Italy were being threatened by strong communist parties.
- Truman sent George Marshall to Europe to see the situation first-hand. He reported back that Europe would need around $17 billion to aid its recovery.
- Congress refused this until events in Czechoslovakia played a part. In 1948 the communists carried out a purge of non-communists and Jan Masaryk, a minister who supported the West, was murdered. The communists took full control in Czechoslovakia.
- In June 1947 the Americans came up with the Marshall Plan. Marshall Aid was given to 16 countries and was used first of all to improve agriculture and then to build up industry. Britain and France received the most. $13 billion dollars of aid flowed into Western Europe over the next 4 years.
- Stalin refused to allow any Eastern European countries to share in Marshall Aid. President Tito defied Stalin and received Marshall Aid, and as a result was expelled from Cominform in 1948.
9 of 26
Why did the USA and USSR become rivals 1945-49?
The Marshall Plan
- The Soviets claimed that the Marshall Plan was dollar imperialism: the Americans were using dollars to bribe European countries so that they would become dependent on the USA and join them against the USSR. This increased suspicions between the USA and USSR.
- By helping the recovery of Western Europe, Marshall Aid strengthened it against the threat of Communism. The Americans believed Communism thrived where there was poverty.
Cominform and Comecon
- Stalin's reaction to the Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan was to set up Cominform in September 1947. All the communist parties in Europe were involved in this and it was intended to defend Communism against the aggression of the USA.
- It increased Stalin's control of communist states in Eastern Europe. They were to be satellite states of the USSR. Plans for recovery were established and members were expected to trade with each other, not the West.
- The USSR offered aid to the satellite states in 1949 with the introduction of Comecon. This was intended to unite the economies of the communist states, but it increased the control that Stalin had over them.
10 of 26
Why did the USA and USSR become rivals 1945-49?
The Berlin Blockade and Airlift
- At Yalta, it had been agreed that Germany should pay reparations to the Allies for damage caused during the war. When the war had ended, the USSR confiscated many of the resources of its zone. It wanted to keep Germany weak.
- At Potsdam, the Allies agreed that the Soviet Union should be given a quarter of the industrial goods made in the Western zones, in return for food and coal from the Soviet zone.
- The British and Americans sent the industrial goods to the Soviet Union, but Russia failed to send back food and coal. In May 1946 the British and Americans stopped sending industrial goods to the Soviet zone.
- Truman began to think that a recovered Germany would be a good barrier to the expansion of the USSR. Germany was given Marshall Aid to enable economic recovery to take place.
- In January 1947, the British and American zones were joined together. Later, in June 1948, the French zone was added, to form one Western zone. Preparations were made for an independent state of West Germany to be set up. This alarmed the Soviets.
- The difference between the relative prosperity of the western zones thanks to Marshall Aid and the poverty of the east was clear.
11 of 26
Why did the USA and USSR become rivals 1945-49?
The Berlin Blockade and Airlift
- Berlin lay 100 milies within the Soviet zone. To protect Berlin, free 'access rights' using agreed roads, rail, canal and air routes existed across the Soviet zone to allow the movement of people and goods between the Western sectors and the Western zones of Germany.
- Western Berlin stood out as an 'Island of Capitalism' surrounded by Soviet controlled communists.
- In 1948 Britain and America decided to set up a new currency for West Germany. This was intended to help unite the Western zones and strengthen Germany's economy. The USSR was not involved in this decision and Stalin argued that it was against what had been agreed at Potsdam.
- Stalin decided that the whole of Berlin should belong to the Soviets. In 1948 the Soviet Union began to make Western access by road and rail to Berlin more and more difficult. By 23 June 1948 all routes into West Berlin had been closed by Stalin. His plan was to force the West to withdraw from Berlin by starving the people of West Berlin.
- This was the Soviet Union's first direct challenge to the American idea of 'Containment'. The Americans feared that if they gave way on West Berlin, the Soviets would threaten West Germany next.
12 of 26
Why did the USA and USSR become rivals 1945-49?
The Berlin Blockade and Airlift
- West Berlin had about 6 weeks of fuel and food left.
- Britain and America decided to use the three air routes into West Berlin and take goods in by air. It was estimated that at least 4,000 tonnes of supplies would be needed every day.
- By Spring 1949, 8,000 tonnes were being flown in each say. In all, 2 million tonnes of supplies were flown in.
- The Soviet Union tried to stop the airlift. They 'jammed' the airwaves used by Allied pilots. They 'shadowed' Allied flights with Soviet fighter aircraft to make sure they stayed within the air corridors.
- To stop the airlift inside the agreed 'air corridors' Russia would have to shoot down Western planes. Stalin realised that if he did it would be a declaration of war and he was afraid of the American nuclear weapons.
- On 12 May 1949 Stalin lifted the blockade, after 11 months.
- The USA and the West had prove that they were prepared to stand up to the USSR and resist any further expansion.
- It was the first main crisis of the Cold War.
13 of 26
How did the Cold War develop 1949-60?
The formation of NATO
- The Berlin Blockade convinced the Americans that the West needed a common defence strategy to oppose any acts of aggression.
- On 4 April 1949, the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation was signed.
- This was a military pact in which all countries agreed to help each other against any act of aggression. It was to have an army with a common command.
- In 1949 it had 12 members: USA, Britain, France, Italy, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Portugal and Canada.
- In 1952 Greece and Turkey joined, as well as West Germany in 1955.
- It meant that the Americans could build air bases in Western Europe where planes equipped with nuclear bombs could be stationed ready for use in the event of an act of aggression from another power.
- The Soviet Union saw NATO as an attempt to 'encircle' their nation with countries hostile to Communist ideas, and made official protests.
14 of 26
How did the Cold War develop 1949-60?
The nuclear arms race
- The dropping of the atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 started the nuclear arms race betwen the two superpowers.
- The nuclear arms race was how the USA and the USSR made sure that they did not get left behind in the number of nuclear weapons they possessed, so they would never be disadvantaged.
- This competition for arms became very expensive for both countries as they tried to increase their stockpiles of nuclear weapons and develop deadlier and more effective weapons.
- Until 1949 the USA had the advantage. In 1949 the USSR exploded its first atomic bomb.
- The hydrogen bomb, a more powerful bomb that could destroy the whole of Moscow, was successfully tested by the Americans in 1952. The H-bomb was much smaller than the bombs used in 1945, but more than 2,000 times more powerful.
- The Soviets responded with their own hydrogen bomb in 1953.
15 of 26
How did the Cold War develop 1949-60?
The Korean War
- At the end of the Second World War, Korea was freed from Japanese control. North Korea was occupied by Soviet soldiers and South Korea was occupied by American soldiers.
- It was agreed that there should be free elections and Korea should be united in the future.
- By 1948, this proved impossible and two independent states of North and South Korea were set up, divided by the 38th parallel.
- South Korea was ruled by an anti-communist government led by Syngman Rhee. The Soviets set up the communist government of North Korea under Kim Il Sung.
- The Chinese Revolution in October 1949 meant that now North Korea had two friendly Communist giants on its northern border.
Possible causes of the Korean War:
- A show of Soviet strength towards the Americans to get back after Berlin.
- A show of Soviet strength towards the Chinese to show Mao that Stalin was the leader.
- A North Korean attack planned in Moscow to strengthen USSR's defences in the Pacific.
- An independent attack by North Korea.
- An attack provoked by South Korea to regain American help against Communism.
16 of 26
How did the Cold War develop 1949-60?
The Korean War
- The Communists claimed that they were acting to protect themselves because troops from South Korea had crossed the 38th parallel.
- On 25 June 1950 North Korean forces attacked South Korea and advanced quickly, crossing the 38th Parallel and capturing Seoul.
- Truman and the Americans considered that events in Korea were part of a grand plan by the USSR to spread Communism throughout the world. They believed in the Domino Effect and felt that they had to resist the spread of Communism. This was to be the Truman Doctrine and its policy of containment in action.
- The Americans referred the invasion to the Security Council of the UN, but began to move their troops in Japan to Korea before a decision was made by the UN.
- The Security Council appealed to North Korea to withdraw its troops from the south and, when this was ignored, declared that North Korea was the aggressor and called on all member states to send help to the South.
- The USSR would have used its veto if it had been present, but it was boycotting the UN Security Council because the new communist China had not been accepted as a member.
17 of 26
How did the Cold War develop 1949-60?
The Korean War
- A UN army made up of contributions from 16 nations was sent to Korea. It was led by the American General Douglas MacArthur.
- The North Koreans were surprised by American marines, who landed at Inchon and cut off their supplies.
- Eventually the UN forces captured Seoul. By October 1950 the North Koreans had been forced back behind the 38th Parallel.
- MacArthur and Truman saw this as a chance to unite Korea. Not content with containment, they wanted to free North Korea from Communist control.
- China saw the American plans as a real threat. If UN forces captured North Korea, they might press on to attack the border with China. They could use North Korea as a base for bombing raids on Chinese industry.
- Despite this warning, Truman ordered MacArthur to cross into North Korea on 7 October. The UN forces advanced and captured the North Korean capital. Then they continued north, towards the Chinese border.
18 of 26
How did the Cold War develop 1949-60?
The Korean War
- About 250,000 Chinese troops, described as volunteers, entered Korea.
- There were too many of them for the Americand and, by January 1951, they had drien the UN troops out of North Korea and once again captured Seoul.
- In February, MacArthur managed to push the Chinese back to the 38th parallel again.
- President Truman was keen to set up a cease-fire along the 38th Parallel, but MacArthur pressed on into North Korea. MacArthur wanted to launch an all-out attack on China using the atom bomb.
- Truman felt that this would cause a major war, so he dismissed MacArthur and decided to go back to his policy of containing communism out of South Korea and defended the frontier.
- Peace talks began in 1951 and there was very little fighting for the next two years.
- In November 1952, Eisenhower replaced Truman as America's President. In 1953 Stalin died.
- An armistice was signed on 17 July 1953 but no peace treaty could be agreed.
- Korea had been devastated by the fighting, about 4 million soldiers and civilians had been killed and 5 million became homeless. American losses were around 50,000, with other UN troops losing about 17,000. The Chinese suffered about 900,000 casualites.
19 of 26
How did the Cold War develop 1949-60?
The Korean War
- It extended the Cold War into the Far East.
- It indicated that Truman was prepared to stick to the Truman Doctrine and to the principle of containing Communism.
- It appeared that the superpowers did not want to make the Cold War into a 'hot war'.
- It marked the emergence of communist China as a world power. China became more friendly with the USSR.
- The UN had resisted an act of aggression.
- Korea was still divided as North and South and it appeared as if the division was now permanent.
20 of 26
How did the Cold War develop 1949-60?
The 'Thaw'
- The death of Stalin in 1953 led to a new direction is Soviet foreign policy.
- Now that East and West had the power of the hydrogen bomb, it seemed sensible to ease the tension of the Cold War. The Americans were willing to negotiate because they regarded Stalin as the main cause of the Cold War. This new cooperation wa first seen in the support that the USSR gave to ending the Korean War.
- This was followed in 1955 when the Soviets agreed to sign the Austrain State Treaty, which ended occupation of Austria that had continued since 1945. Austria became independent.
- Kruschev emerged as the new leader of the USSR. He appeared to be keen to make a fresh start with the West.
- In 1956 he used the phrase 'peaceful co-existence' to describe the policies of living in peace with the West, even if the Soviets did not like its ideals and policies.
- He showed his willingness to be friendly to the West by his visits to Britain and the USA.
- A Summit Conference was held in Geneva in 1955. This was attended by the leaders of America, China, Britain, France and the USSR. This was seen as a turning point in the Cold War.
21 of 26
How did the Cold War develop 1949-60?
The Warsaw Pact
- In 1955 West Germany joined NATO.
- This revived Soviet concern about the re-emergence of Germany and led to the formation of the Warsaw Pact.
- This pact was a military alliance for mutual defence, which the USSR signed along with Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, East Germany and Albania.
- It was described as a Treaty of Friendship, Co-operation and Mutual Assistance between the countries who signed it.
- All the forces of the pact countries were placed under the leadership of a Soviet commander-in-chief and it permitted Soviet troops to be stationed in these countries for the purpose of defence.
- This became part of the USSR's methods of keeping the countries under its control andn their troops would be used in the future to prevent Soviet sattelite states from leaving their control.
- The formation of the Warsaw Pact meant that the division of Europe was now marked by two rival alliances.

How did the Cold War develop 1949-60?
Hungary, 1956
- Stalin had treated East Germany, Poland and Hungary almost as 'slave colonies' of the Soviet Union. Hungary had to pay war reparations in food and goods to the Soviet Union.
- The standard of living in Eastern Europe got steadily worse; shortages of food were common.
- Each satellite had a feared secret police, prisons and labour camps.
- In Hungary alone 25,000 people had been executed without trial since 1945.
- Stalin-style Communism in Eastern Europe had left the people downtrodden and angry.
- In 1955 the satellites had been forced to sign the Warsaw Pact, binding their military fate to the Soviet Union.
- Kruschev's condemnation of Stalin and events in Poland which had led to Kruschev accepting a change of leader, encouraged the Hungarians to protest against Rasoki's leadership.
- They were protesting about the falling standard of living and increased poverty, which they blamed on Soviet policies.
- Many in Hungary saw this as an opportunity to end Soviet domination and improve relations with the West. This they felt would bring an improved economy and higher standard of living.
- The protests increased and in October riots broke out in Budapest. Street fighting lasted for five days.

How did the Cold War develop 1949-60?
Hungary, 1956
- Only the security police, many of whom were hanged by rebels, remained loyal to the USSR.
- Rakosi was forced to resign and Soviet tanks moved in. The more popular Nagy became Prime Minister and Soviet troops withdrew.
- The Hungarians celebrated what looked like a victory. It appeared that the USSR had been defeated by one of its satellites.
- On 1 November 1956, the new Hungarian government began to make reforms. These reforms would lead to free elections, the end of the secret police and the removal of the Soviet army of occupation. Kruschev seemed to be accepting this. However, this changed when Nagy demanded the right for Hungary to withdraw from the Warsaw Pact and follow a neutal role in the Cold War.
- This was too much for the USSR. Free elections could mean the end of Communism in Hungary. If Hungary withdrew from the Warsaw Pact, there would be a gap in the Iron Curtain and the Soviet buffer zone with the West would be broken.
- Soviet troops re-entered Hungary on 1 November. By 4 November they had reached Budapest. Over 1,000 tanks moved into the city to crush the rising.
24 of 26
How did the Cold War develop 1949-60?
Hungary, 1956
- Nagy appealed to the West for help but none came.
- Two weeks of street fighting followed, but the Hungarians were no match for the Soviet forces and a new pro-Soviet communist government under Kadar was set up.
- Nagy was imprisoned and later executed.
- Between 2,500 and 30,000 Hungarians, mostly civilians, were killed along with 700 Soviet troops.
- Over 200,000 refugees fled Hungary and settled in the West.
- There was no active support for the rising in the West - the Americans simply protested.
- Other satellite states in Eastern Europe did not dare to challenge Soviet authority.
- Kruschev strengthened his position in the USSR and showed the West that peaceful co-existence had its limits.
- It marked a stalemate in the Cold War - the West did not interfere with Soviet activities in Eastern Europe.
25 of 26
How did the Cold War develop 1949-60?
The continuation of the nuclear arms / space race
- The USSR developed the technology to fire a satellite into space before the USA. This not only upset the pride of the Americans, it also affected their security. The space race was closely tied in with the development of nuclear weapons and the nuclear arms race.
- Up to 1957 the USA were always ahead in the development of nuclear weapons. The launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957 changed this.
- The launch of the Sputnik 1 meant that the Soviets had developed rockets which could carry nuclear warheads and reach the USA.
- The USA developed its own Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) in 1957 and, by 1959, they could be stored underground and ready for use in 30 seconds.
- The firing of a Polaris missile from a nuclear submarine by the USA in 1960 meant that a missile could be fired from the sea closer to the USSR, therefore be more accurate.
- ICBMs were placed in friendly powers near the USSR. The USA placed missiles in Turkey in 1959 and the USSR tried to place them in Cuba in 1962.
- They had to continue the arms race to keep the balance, which was expensive but prevented war. This was known as the 'nuclear deterrent'. By the end of the 1960s the superpowers had enough nuclear weapons to destroy the rest of the world. This became known as Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD).

A tablet-sized touchscreen you can plug your phone into? Sounds like twice the trouble
On a recent plane journey I was fumbling with a tablet, an e-reader and a phone.
My travelling companion shook his head sadly and said, with California-commune serenity, that he'd freed himself from tech overload – to him the iPad mini was 'the perfect gadget'.
I suspect that if I'd been wrestling with an Asus PadFone 2, he might have offered me a sympathetic hug.
The contraption weighs slightly less than a full-sized iPad, even with the phone docked. Asus's engineers clearly earned their overtime on the new PadFone, as the last one felt as heavy as a paving slab
The phone part is crazily fast - it has Qualcomm's latest quad-core chip - so it handles the bigger screen with ease. The 'brains' are all in the phone; the tablet bit is just a screen
Asus's solution to the most ridiculous of all developed-world 'problems' isn't a gadget detox but a gadget mother ship: a 10in HD tablet with a slot where you can dock a smaller 4.7in phone.
Not even Samsung has tried this one – and it seems to release a new Galaxy device every three or four hours.
Slotting the Android phone into the back feels odd. It looks like you're wrangling with DIY electronics and may attract unwelcome attention from law enforcement in airports.
The image from the phone's screen appears instantly on the tablet, though, so you can 'upsize' to 10in in a flash.
The phone slots into the dock with a reassuring click; you can wave the tablet around and it won't fall out. and if you're typing an email prior to docking/separation, nothing is lost - it'll appear instantly on the other screen
There are a few neat things about this set-up. The pad's big battery means that the phone lasts a good long time – six weeks on standby, says Asus – if you keep topping up and, er, don't use it much.
It also means you don't have to pay for data for both your phone and tablet – a new-tech irritation (and another first-world problem) that also leads to disapproving looks from wives.
There is a certain kind of gadget-juggling 'road warrior' – a techie term which I think loosely translates as 'probably works in sales' – who will love this.
For me, trying to work out when I would 'need' the tablet – long emails? YouTube? Angry Birds? – was a lesson in how pointless carrying two touchscreens is in the first place.
Some day, perhaps, I too will find my own 'perfect gadget' – and with it, inner peace.

Are you a flowerpot man?
The Kakkoii Wow speaker: Proof that looking like a flowerpot is 'in'
Australia's Macworld magazine must be a fun place to work.
When confronted with the Kakkoii Wow speaker, its reviewers claim they 'turned to each other and said, "Wow!"' If only this golden moment were on YouTube.
The Wow is proof that looking like a flowerpot must be 'in' this year.
Lauded by the technology mags long before it was ever demonstrated, it's essentially a small silicone funnel with a single speaker in the middle, available in black, blue, red, yellow and white.
Like many other gizmos on offer this year, it pairs with Android devices, PCs and iPhones via Bluetooth.
None of the many other Bluetooth speakers, however, had the foresight to look like a flowerpot.
This speaker is on sale via Paul Smith. That's how 'in' the flowerpot look is.
The Wow is pleasing enough – it's surprisingly loud, it works well outdoors and you can hurl it around without breaking it.
You can, its makers suggest, aim it at yourself for a 'directed' beam of sound, or stand it upright for a room-filling 'wash' of music.
Frankly, though, it doesn't sound particularly brilliant either way, and hi-fi fans will probably prefer an upside-down position, with its rubbery cone muffling the noise...
