fabriceyal Review
It's not my anniversary but I loved the ring so much, I bought it anyways. I'm really happy I did. The ring looks amazing, much better than in the pictures online. The baguette diamond and bead-set diamonds compliment each other nicely and all the diamonds are very similar in color and clarity making the design flow. I'm really happy. I give the ring a 5 star review.

1. General
We aim to excel in the quality of our produce and the service we provide. By shopping with us online you can expect high standards, just as our shop customers do. All our goods and services comply with all the standards required by relevant legislation. When shopping with us online, a Contract of Sale is made at the time we accept your order, and the contract shall be under English law, irrespective of where you are. By confirming your order on the website you accept these terms and conditions.
2. Delivery times
You may select our cost-effective delivery service to most UK locations, or call in person at our shop to collect your order. We are able to offer delivery to all addresses in England, Wales, and the Scottish mainland from Aberdeen southwards. We regret that delivery costs are prohibitively high in other areas, and hence we do not presently offer the service elsewhere. We will strive to achieve the delivery times below. (You can choose a later delivery day when placing your order if you prefer). We make a charge to cover the cost of packing and delivery; this cost is calculated for you automatically, and you will see the full price before placing your order.
3. Delivery Arrangements
All orders are dispatched using a next-day, specialist road delivery service (see our delivery pages for more information). This ensures that goods are maintained in perfect condition during transit. When placing your order, it is important that someone should be at home to take delivery; the trained delivery drivers should have explicit instructions to leave your chill-pack in a reasonably secure place at the premises if no-one is available, and will not take the package back to their depot. The drivers know they are carrying perishable goods. The delivery shall be deemed to have been made either when the consignee accepts delivery in person, or when the driver leaves your chill-pack at the unattended premises.
4. Collection
You may opt to collect your order in person from our shop, in which case it will be available for you the next afternoon after placing the order (except Sunday) or on the date you specified when placing the order. Goods not collected within two days after they are available for collection will be disposed of, and the order deemed complete. No refunds can be made for uncollected orders.
5. Packaging for Delivery
You may rest assured we have taken great care to ensure your goods arrive in perfect condition. Our packaging standard has been carefully designed to maintain a temperature within the chill-pack of less than 5 oC for 48 hours - double the time your chill-pack should spend in transit. Your meat will be vacuum packed in an food-safe polythene pouch, then a tear-proof polythene bag, then placed in a rigid polystyrene outer box, the 'chill-pack'. Each pack is provided with an ice-replacement gel ("Techni-ice"), which has special low-temperature properties. This gel is non-toxic, food-safe, and can be disposed of safely with normal household waste. Alternatively, you might like to re-use it as a food-safe refrigerant yourself; place it in a freezer for a couple of hours to condition it, and it can then be used in your cool-bag or sandwich box. Rigid polystyrene cartons can also be re-used; you may find these are useful for a wide range of storage or packing purposes. In local areas only, we will deliver directly from our shop to your door in our own refrigerated vehicle, and packaging will vary from that described above.
6. Packaging and delivery prices
When your order has been packed, its cost to deliver is calculated as follows:-
National deliveries cost £10
We charge a simple flat rate for delivering any order anywhere in the UK - £10. This is added to the cost of your order. We are able to offer delivery to all addresses in England, Wales, and the Scottish mainland from Aberdeen southwards. We regret that delivery costs are prohibitively higher in other areas, and hence we cannot deliver elsewhere.
Local deliveries are free
Customers in the postcode area LA6 only are delivered to by our own refrigerated van.
Collect it yourself free of charge
You can choose to collect any size of order yourself, from our shop in Kirkby Lonsdale, without any delivery or packing charge, during normal shop hours. If you do this, you will notice that we charge exactly the same for meat ordered online as we do in our shop.
What about international deliveries?
Sorry but we do not make international deliveries.
7. Acceptable Weight Variation
When you place your order, it will be for a nominal weight of produce, at a specified price. We will collect the payment via the payment method you select when placing the order. Because orders are individually prepared, it can be expected that there may be some small variation in weights above or below the weight you choose, and it is impractical for us to request additional payments or process small refunds. We will ensure that this variation never exceeds more or less than 10% of any item specified. Items delivered within 10% of the weight ordered shall be deemed complete.
8. Unfulfilled Orders
Because of the seasonal nature of some of our produce and limited supply, it is possible that from time to time, we may be unable to fulfill some orders. If your order is for one specific joint or meal item we will let you know as quickly as possible, within one working day of you placing the order, and offer alternative produce or cancellation at your discretion. In the event of us having to cancel, we will make an immediate and full refund of any monies paid. If your order is a large selection of items we reserve the right to substitute meat of equal or superior quality and value and of the same type.
9. Acceptable product substitution
When you place your order, it will be for a selection of meat or a package such as a half lamb, at a specified price. Because orders are individually prepared, it can be expected that there may be some variation in stocking some items and it is impractical for us to contact you to regarding this.
10. Guarantee of Satisfaction
If for any reason you are dissatisfied with the quality of the produce received, you should contact us within 24 hours of receipt. All complaints will be dealt with personally and immediately by our Managing Director Mark Duckworth, who undertakes to resolve all complaints to your satisfaction within 7 days. Your statutory rights are not affected. We regret we are not able to accept returned goods or claims for goods ordered in error, due to their perishable nature.
11. Non-Delivery Claims
In the event of your order failing to arrive when expected, please contact us by email or by telephone within 24 hours of the expected delivery quoting your order number. We will immediately investigate and let you know the situation. Should your order not be delivered within one working day of the date given in the website acknowledgement, you will be entitled to a full and immediate refund.
12. Cancellation
We regret that due to the very short timescale involved in processing fresh meat orders, you cannot cancel or amend your order once it has been placed.
13. Data Protection
All personal data we collect from you will be used exclusively for the purposes of our relationship, to help us offer improved or new services to you, and may be stored on computer. Your details will be held securely, in confidence, and never disclosed to any third party without your express permission.

His introduces four Radeon HD 4850s with Ice-Q technology
Four versions with different amounts of video memory and clock speeds as well as the Ice-Q cooling solution will be available.
Two of the four HD 4850 run with clock speeds of 625/993 megahertz. While one model matches the reference design with 512 MiByte GDD3, the other one has 1,024 MiByte VRAM. The "Turbo" version of the HD 4850 Ice Q 4 runs with 650/993 megahertz and the "Turbo X" with 685/1,100 MHz.
The most important feature of the cards is the DHES cooling that exhausts the heat via a radial fan. HIS overhauled the Ice Q of the Radeon HD 3800 series: Two heatpipes transport the heat from the cooling block to multiple fins which are distributed all over the cooler. The voltage converters and the video memory are cooled separately. All cooling elements - despite the plastic cover and fan - are pure copper.

Endurance Warranty 1-866-432-4443 and 877-414-0134 http://www.endurancewarranty.com/ Endurancy Warranty Program Internet
I have been covered by Endurance for approximately five months. The air conditioning compressor in my car stopped working. I called Endurance. They told me I needed to have a diagnostic service run before I could submit a claim to confirm what was wrong with the car. The cost of the diagnostic was not covered.
The repair shop called Endurance with the results of the diagnostic to confirm why the air conditioner was broken to start the claims process. The Endurance representative explained they could not start a claim unless the vehicle was at the shop and the repair shop provided them with the diagnostic results and mileage on the car AT THE TIME THE REPAIR WAS MADE. Based on this information I made arrangements with the repair shop to have the car repaired on a Saturday.
I called Endurance on Thursday before my scheduled Saturday repair appointment. I said I wanted to make sure I was doing everything they needed to make sure the claim was covered. The representative told me the repair shop had to provide the diagnostic report and mileage from my vehicle AT THE TIME THE REPAIR WAS MADE. So, I confirmed that I was going to have my car repaired on Saturday at which time the repair shop would call them and give them the mileage and diagnostic information. The representative confirmed my understanding.
On Saturday the repair shop called Endurance. They did not pick up the phone. The repair shop recorded the mileage on my car before starting the repair. The shop called Endurance on Monday to provide them with the mileage, diagnostic information, and a list of all parts and labor from the repair. Endurance told the repair shop that the claim would not be covered because the repair had already been completed, which counted as a preexisting condition.
Endurance said they had no record of any calls made to them two weeks prior to the repair. I told them I could provide a cell phone record to show them I had called and the repair shop could also provide confirmation of calling. They said they had no calls on record and could not approve the claim. I told them the repair shop and I were instructed to provide them with the mileage at the time the repair was made, which was their requirement to file the claim.
So Endurance basically found a loophole. They would not open a claim without having a mileage report documented at the time the repair was made, but they wont cover a claim because the repair would have to be in process before they would accept the mileage report.
I told them I wanted to cancel my policy. They said they would waive my monthly $123 payment for the following month but were not willing to cancel the coverage. I said they are not providing me the coverage they said they would provide and they said it is not their fault I can't follow instructions.
In addition to having to pay them $2800 for an extended warranty plan I am also out of pocket $1631.46 for a broken air conditioner. Oh, but if they actually did cover the claim, diagnostic work is not covered, neither is sales tax, and different bits and pieces of labor fees.

To the Wishing Sea - Mysterious WashingMature
Frantically, I heard the sounds of somebody rummaging in the garage. The door of the washing machine was repeatedly being opened and thrown closed, as if with anger. I couldn't think why mom was even doing the washing on a Sunday - I always did it for her, anyway, since she becamse unable. Rolling my eyes, a slight smile creeping at the sides of my mouth, I followed my feet into the laundry to see what she was doing.
"Shit," she whispered as she opened the door to the machine. "Shit. Lucie is going to -"
"Kill you? Laugh at you? Throw you to the dogs?"
She jumped, slamming the door again in fright. "You scared me, baby."
"What are you shitting about?"
She sighed, sitting herself on her bottom in the middle of the laundry in surrender. Resting her head in her hands, she sighed deeply, as if defeated by a battle she had never expected to win. Without looking at me, she said, "I didn't put washing powder in the machine."
"Did you forget?"
"Yes. Yes, I did."
"Well, that's not so bad, is it? I can just put some in for you now, we'll wash them again. It's no bother."
"Look. Come here, Lucie, and look at what I did to the clothes."
I rolled my eyes a second time, not impatiently, but at how she becomes so flustered at the tiniest of things. Once, she put the butter in the freezer and the cereal in the fridge and I came down one morning watching her crunch hard, solid boulders of Nesquik cereal and trying to spread rock butter on her toast. When she realised what she had done, she burst into sad, lonely tears as if I'd told her our cat had died.
When I got to the machine, I opened the door, expecting to see a pile of unclean, wet clothes. Instead, our white washing was stained with a horrible brown so that it looks like our un-dead cat has crapped all over our clothes.
"Shit, mom. What is that?" Helplessly, she shrugged her shoulders, and as I opened the panel where the washing powder should have been, I found nothing. I noticed a bottle sitting on the worktop above the machine, and upon inspection, I discovered the source of the cat crap clothes. "You put chocolate sauce in the machine to wash our clothes?"
"I guess I did."
We both laughed, because even though Mother forgets a lot of things a lot of the time, even she understands how stupid this is. "Washed the clothes with chocolate sauce!" She screeches hysterically, and for the first time in a very long time, I feel like I've got my old Mom back again. I've missed her so, so much.
Lucie's Mother is ill - she has a weaker form of Alzheimer's disease which effects her memory, meaning that she frequently becomes confused, forgets things and often doesn't recognise her daughter's habits, her daughter's diabetic procedures and the faces of friends.

September 28, 1910
Indan, Camarines Norte, Philippine Islands[2]
|July 15, 1942
(aged 31)
Daet, Camarines Norte, Commonwealth of the Philippines
Wenceslao Quinito Vinzons (born Wenceslao Quinito Vinson, September 28, 1910[2] – July 15, 1942) was a Filipino politician and a leader of the armed resistance against the Japanese occupying forces during World War II. He was the youngest member of the 1935 Constitutional Convention. Among the first Filipinos to organize the guerrilla resistance after the Japanese invasion of the Philippines in 1941,[3] he was executed by the Japanese Army.
Early life and education[edit]
Vinzons was born in the town of Indan, Camarines Norte to Gabino Vinzons y Venida and Engracia Quinito y Elep. He was the grandson by paternal line of Serafín Vinzons, who was Chinese, and of Baldomera Venida, and by maternal line of Rosalío Quinito and Cipriana Elep[2] He was baptized on October 5, 1910 by Marciano Bamba at Saint Peter the Apostol Church in the same town, and his godfather was Ángel Anz.[4] He graduated valedictorian from his local high school, and proceeded to Manila to study at the University of the Philippines.[5]
While at the university, Vinzons gained fame as a student leader. A member of Upsilon Sigma Phi, Vinzons would be elected president of the student council and editor-in-chief of the Philippine Collegian.[5] He was also known for delivering an oratorical address entitled Malaysia Irredenta, where he advocated the unification of Southeast Asian nations with a common Malay origin.[6] The piece won him the Manuel L. Quezon gold medal for excellence.[5]
Vinzons obtained his law degree from the University of the Philippines College of Law in 1932, and placed 3rd in the bar examinations of the following year.
Political career[edit]
After graduation, Vinzons, along with Narciso J. Alegre and Arturo M. Tolentino (a future senator and Marcos-era vice-president) founded a political party, the Young Philippines Party,[5] which advocated the grant of Philippine independence from American rule.[6] After the passage in 1934 of the Tydings–McDuffie Act which laid the groundwork for independence, Vinzons successfully sought election that same year as a delegate representing Camarines Norte to the 1935 Constitutional Convention tasked with drafting a new constitution. As a member of the Convention, he was instrumental in prescribing Tagalog as an official language of the Philippines.[5] At 24, he was the youngest delegate, and the youngest signer of the 1935 Constitution.
During the 1935 presidential elections, Vinzons actively campaigned for the presidential bid of former president Emilio Aguinaldo, the main challenger to then-Senate President Manuel Quezon.[5] Vinzons' efforts helped Aguinaldo carry Camarines even though Quezon won the presidency.[6] Following Aguinaldo's defeat, Vinzons put on hold his political career, opting instead to become the president of a mining corporation based in his home province.[6]
Vinzons resumed political life in 1940, when he was elected governor of Camarines Norte. The following year, he successfully ran for election to the National Assembly, representing the lone district of Camarines Norte. His service in the legislature was interrupted by the Japanese invasion of the Philippines in December 1941.
Guerrilla activities and execution[edit]
Within days following the arrival of the Japanese forces in the Philippines, Vinzons began to organize armed resistance in the Bicol region against the invasion army, which had arrived in the region on December 12, 1941. He commandeered all the rice warehouses in Camarines Norte, and ordered the confiscation of explosives used in the province's gold mines for use against the Japanese army.[7] By December 18, 1941, he would lead a raid against a troop of Japanese soldiers in Basud, Camarines Norte. His guerrilla forces soon grew to around 2,800 strong, and in May 1942, Vinzons would lead these forces to successfully liberate the provincial capital of Daet.[7] It is said that between December 1941 and May 1942, Vinzon's troops, armed with poisoned arrows among others, were able to kill around 3,000 Japanese soldiers.[7] As a result, the capture of Vinzons became a prime objective of the Japanese army.
With the help of a former guerrilla-turned-informant, Vinzons was seized by the Japanese military together with his father on July 8, 1942. He refused to pledge allegiance to his captors, and was brought to a garrison in Daet. It was there, on July 15, 1942, that Vinzons was bayoneted to death after refusing one final entreaty to cooperate with the Japanese forces.[3] Shortly thereafter, his father, wife, sister and two of his children were also executed by the Japanese.[8]
Wenceslao Q. Vinzons, a member of the fraternity Upsilon Sigma Phi, is hailed as the Father of Student Activism in the Philippines.
Vinzons' hometown of Indan was renamed Vinzons, in his memory, as was an elementary school in Manila. The student activity center of the University of the Philippines campus in Diliman was named Vinzons Hall in 1959. Vinzons Hall also houses the offices of the Philippine Collegian. Senator Richard Gordon, an admirer of Vinzons and himself a former UP student council and youngest Con Con delegate of 1972, commissioned sculptor Sajid Imao for a bust in his honor at Vinzons Hall as part of rehabilitation efforts by the UP Student Council in 2009.[9]
Several of Vinzons' relatives embarked on political careers. Fernando Vinzons Pajarillo was related to Wenceslao and had been elected congressman and governor, for many terms. Wenceslao's son was a one-time governor. His daughter Rannie Vinzons-Gaite was once member of the Provincial Council.[citation needed]
The current lone legislative district of Camarines Norte is currently served by a descendant, former BIR Commissioner and now Representative Liwayway Vinzons-Chato.
A three-act musical on Vinzon's life, entitled "Bintao", was staged at the University of the Cordilleras in January 2008.[10][11]

text: Unit 10: CHAPTER 24 Empire, Industry, and Everyday Life 1870-1890 I. The New Imperialism A. Taming the Mediterranean 1. European Takeover in Egypt: Shaping the Egyptian Economy — Imperialism surged in the last third of the nineteenth century. In the Mediterranean region, efforts to establish economic influence assumed a political dimension, with Egypt as an early target. European investment in Egyptian industry, agriculture, canals, and railroads produced enormous debts. In 1879, the French and English took over the Egyptian treasury, and Britain used the nationalist resistance that ensued as an excuse to invade Egypt in 1882. Britain took charge of the Egyptian government and reshaped the Egyptian economy away from self-sufficiency and towards the provision of raw materials. • 2. Europe in Asia Minor and the Middle East — To "protect" Algeria, France occupied Tunisia in 1881, and cheap European goods flooded markets in Asia Minor and the Middle East, driving local artisans into low wage occupations. European employers discriminated on the basis of ethnicity and religion, paying Muslims less than Christians and Arabs less than other ethnic groups, and fostering long-lasting hatred. I. The New Imperialism B. The Scramble for Africa 1. Greed and Competition over Africa — Europeans were increasingly interested in acquiring African raw materials and ports to help expand trade globally. In the 1880s Britain, France, Belgium, Germany, Portugal and Italy acquired one African territory after another. Social Darwinism reshaped racism to justify conquest of African lands. 2. Africa and Diplomatic Tensions — Conflict over the acquisition and control of African territory escalated tensions in Europe. In 1884 and 1885 a series of conferences in Berlin led to agreements that dissected the continent and limited trade in alcohol and firearms. The agreement accelerated conquest and associated violence. • 3. Europeans in South Africa — In South Africa, farmers of European descent (many of them Dutch, known as Boers) and British immigrants struggled with each other and native peoples over land and resources such as diamonds. Notions of European racial superiority became more widespread. • 4. Consequences for Africans — The Berlin agreements divided Africa into territories along straight lines that cut across indigenous boundaries, and European competition and influence destroyed or transformed African political and economic systems. African accomplishments and achievements were ignored or discounted and Africans were thought to be uncivilized, only capable of manual labor. Family and community networks were weakened and disrupted by new labor patterns, migrations, and other economic changes that benefitted Europeans. The Congo Free State or The Belgian Congo King Leopold II: (r. 1865 – 1909) Harvesting Rubber Punishing "Lazy" Workers 5-8 Million Victims! (50% of Popul.) It is blood-curdling to see them (the soldiers) returning with the hands of the slain, and to find the hands of young children amongst the bigger ones evidencing their bravery...The rubber from this district has cost hundreds of lives, and the scenes I have witnessed, while unable to help the oppressed, have been almost enough to make me wish I were dead... This rubber traffic is steeped in blood, and if the natives were to rise and sweep every white person on the Upper Congo into eternity, there would still be left a fearful balance to their credit. -- Belgian Official Belgium's Stranglehold on the Congo I. The New Imperialism C. Acquiring Territory in Asia 1. Britain in India and Malaysia — Much of Asia was also integrated into western empires. India was the centerpiece of the British Empire, but resistance from the Indian National Congress (established in 1885 by elite educated Indians) increased as well. Britain took over the Malay peninsula in 1874 and the interior of Burma in 1885, seeking to secure natural resources and a trade route into China. 2. Russian and French Imperial Activity — Russia and France also expanded in Asia. The Russians penetrated Persia and China as well as the Ottoman Empire and built the Trans-Siberian railroad, which opened up Siberia large-scale settlement. Russian expansion brought them into competition with Britain. France threatened military action to establish control over Indochina in 1887. I. The New Imperialism D. Japan's Imperial Agenda 1. Japanese Industrial Expansion — Japan transformed itself into an industrial state with an imperial agenda by incorporating western ways into native traditions. Japanese students brought back new knowledge from the west, and Japan underwent a western-style modernization. 2. Modernization and Reform: The Meiji Regime in Japan — Under the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese embraced foreign trade, imperialism, and industry. The Japanese constitution, drafted in 1889, emphasized state power over individual rights, and the Japanese adapted samurai traditions in establishing a powerful modern military. Japan also adopted the imperialist mentality of the West, and in the 1870s they used western-built ships to acquire neighboring islands and intimidate their Korean neighbors, imposing favorable trade agreements. I. The New Imperialism E. The Paradoxes of Imperialism 1. The Costs and Profits of Empire — Imperialism was a muchdebated topic. Meant to establish economic security, it intensified political instability. For some sectors of the economy, it was very profitable, and imperial industries provided many jobs, although taxpayers had to provide for larger armies and navies as well. The costs of empire were high, despite promised profits, and some argued it cost more than it was worth. 2. The Civilizing Mission — Many believed that Europeans had a "civilizing mission" to bring their superior culture to the rest of the world. Native peoples were forced to learn European history and culture while their own was neglected. The idea of this civilizing mission sometimes conflicted with the violence used to establish and impose imperial rule. …also known as the White Man's Burden White Man's Burden By Rudyard Kipling (1899) Take up the White Man's burden-Send forth the best ye breed-Go bind your sons to exile To serve your captives' need; To wait in heavy harness, On fluttered folk and wild-Your new-caught, sullen peoples, Half-devil and half-child. Take up the White Man's burden-In patience to abide, To veil the threat of terror And check the show of pride; By open speech and simple, An hundred times made plain To seek another's profit, And work another's gain. 3. Inferiority and Superiority — Europeans studied colonial cultures and gathered much scientific knowledge. In many cases they misunderstood or misinterpreted native cultures and considered European people and culture to be superior, expecting native peoples to be grateful for what Europeans brought them. Missionaries attempted and often succeeded in spreading Christianity, but Christianizing entire peoples and making them obedient often proved impossible, leading to violence and repression. Some Europeans romanticized colonized peoples, viewing them as "purer" or "simpler" than Europeans, sometimes in condescending ways. European selfconfidence obscured many of these paradoxes, particularly the paradox that western states focused on nation-building destroyed the independence of so many. 1. How does the illustrator depict the African man in this image? 2. How does this scene express British superiority? II. The Industry of Empire A. Industrial Innovation 1. The Spread of Factories and Innovations in Agriculture — Industrial, technological, and commercial innovation strengthened nation states and empires. In Britain a second stage of industrialization occurred involving steel and other heavy industry, while in much of the rest of Europe industrialization happened in one phase, with innovation and heavy industry developing alongside domestic industrial work. Industrial innovation changed agriculture, and industrial fertilizers, wire fencing, and mechanized dairy farming along with refrigeration and canning all changing the marketplace. 2. The Tools of Empire — Powerful guns, railroads, steamships and medicine accelerated Western expansion into Asia and Africa. Drought and famine also weakened Africa and Asia, leaving them vulnerable. Breech-loading rifles and early machine guns dramatically increased European firepower, and African resistance was swiftly crushed. 3. Challenges to British Dominance — Despite industrial innovation, increasing trade, and profits from overseas investments, Britain's rate of industrial growth slowed. Germany and the United States grew more quickly. Investing heavily in research and education, the Germans developed new industrial processes, while the United States exploited vast natural resources. Other countries trailed these leaders. 4. Areas of Slower Industrialization — French industry grew steadily, although French businesses remained small. In Austria and Italy, industrialization was a local phenomena. Russian industrial progress remained torturously slow, but the Russian government encouraged and attracted capital and entrepreneurial talent to help build railroads. Workers and peasants benefited little. II. The Industry of Empire B. Facing Economic Crisis 1. Economic Downturn — The 1870s and 80s were a period of economic difficulty. Before 1850, economic crises had usually been caused by an agricultural crisis, but in 1873 a crisis of industry and finance developed on its own because entrepreneurs were facing more and more obstacles. 2. New Challenges for Later Industrialization — The industrial economy was vulnerable to depressions and economic weakness, and economic uncertainty was a serious problem. 3. Capital-Intensive Industry — Newer factories required massive amounts of capital, and start up costs escalated. In addition, the distribution and consumption of goods were both inadequate to sustain growth because workers were paid too little to consume many industrial products. Slumps became common. • 4. Limited-Liability Corporations — New laws spurred the development of limited liability corporations designed to protect investors from personal responsibility for debt. This helped spur the development of stock markets and encouraged investment. Money invested in stock markets increased dramatically. • 5. Cartels, Trusts, and the Challenges to Free Trade — Businesses banded together in cartels and trusts. Cartels were combinations of industries formed to control prices and competition. Trusts, pioneered by John D. Rockefeller in the United States in 1882, acquired shares in a range of companies within an industry and controlled the shares and their companies through trustees. Cartels and trusts restricted the free market. Governments increasingly imposed import taxes to protect domestic industries, causing much of Europe except Belgium, Britain and the Netherlands to abandon in the 70s and 80s the free trade many had adopted in the 1850s. II. The Industry of Empire C. Revolution in Business Practices 1. The White-Collar Sector — Specialized managers increasingly ran industrial operations. A service sector, made up of skilled workers, emerged as part of the development of management. Armies of office workers were needed, and women formed the bulk of service employees. The cost of middle class life overcame the ideology of domesticity, and married and unmarried women increasingly took jobs outside the home. A gendered, dual labor market developed, with female occupations receiving consistently lower wages. 2. The Department Store — From about mid-century the drive to boost consumption led daring entrepreneurs to establish department stores, at first in the largest cities. These replaced stores that sold single lines of goods with modern shopping palaces that offered a glorious array of goods designed to stimulate consumer desires. Department stores became a public domain of women. Consumerism was also stimulated by catalogues and the consumption of colonial products. 1. How does this work seem more "respectable" than factory work for women? 2. Why would these women have been paid less than their male counterparts? III. Imperial Society and Culture A. The "Best Circles" and the Expanding Middle Class 1. The Expansion of the Upper Class — Profits from industry and empire expanded the upper classes, or "best circles" of society. Aristocrats increasingly shared influence with the newly rich from the middle class as the distinction between aristocrat and the wealthiest bourgeois weakened. Social Darwinism was often cited as a reason for their social position. 2. The Imperial Elite — Empire reshaped the way elites spent their time. Travel and big-game hunting, zoological collecting, and the establishment of museums and traveling displays all flourished. People in the best circles saw themselves as an imperial elite. • 3. Women and the Social Elite — Women maintained the standards of the social elite, particularly by preventing girls' sexual activity and relationships with the lower class. Many marriages were arranged. Upper-class women devoted themselves to raising children and directing staffs of servants. Gardens furnishings and women's clothing reflected imperial power. By practicing art and music, women offset the grim side of imperial and industrial society. • 4. Growth and Change in the Middle Class — Middle class circles, especially outside of eastern Europe, also expanded. The lives of these businessmen and professionals remained modest, but most households employed at least one servant. In place of the conspicuous consumption of the very rich, the middle class proudly maintained a high level of cleanliness and polish. III. Imperial Society and Culture B. Working People's Strategies 1. Working People Leave Europe — Parts of Europe simply could not produce enough or provide enough employment to support a growing population, so many working people migrated in search of work, leaving their native lands for many reasons. Migration was especially heavy out of Sicily, Sweden, and Britain, especially Ireland. Many Jewish peasants also migrated out of eastern Europe, fleeing horrifying pogroms. Destinations were determined by commercial and imperial opportunities. Most went to North and South America, as well as Australia and New Zealand. Railroads and steamships aided population movement, and money sent home improved life. Emigrants lived transformed lives with new languages and work habits. Many other migrants, often seasonal, many of them women, moved from the European countryside to cities, continuing the trend toward urbanization. The most urbanized countries were Britain and Belgium. 2. Adaption to Industrial Change — Factory work became more fast-paced and stressful. Work was more heavily supervised. Low-paid outwork also continued in some industries. Hard times had uneven consequences. Despite uncertainty, some workers prospered, particularly in urban areas. III. Imperial Society and Culture C. National Fitness: Reform, Sports, and Leisure 1. Reform for the Working Classes — Reformers interested in social improvement and concerned about Social Darwinism emphasized national fitness. Settlement houses, clinics, and health centers appeared in urban areas. Middle and upper-class men and women worked in urban areas to improve workers lives, involving themselves in missionary work or scientific approaches to solving social problems. Philanthropists and government officials intervened in the lives of working-class families to improve fitness, with school lunches, clinics, and inspections of children. Some distributed birth control information, although this was opposed by churches and reformers concerned it would encourage sexual exploitation of women. Women's work lives also came under closer control, as they were "protected" in some places from certain professions. Working men and reformers cooperated in criticizing women for taking jobs from men and not producing enough healthy children. 2. Sports and Leisure — Sports teams began to develop mass followings that welded lower and higher classes together in a competitive culture. Sports were seen as a sign of national strength and spirit. Team sports sharpened differentiation between men and women, as women were generally encouraged to engage in individual sports. Middle class leisure activities such as mountain climbing also became popular, along with working class clubs for bicycling, touring and cycling. Healthy recreation was promoted to give people a better sense of individual might and national strength. III. Imperial Society and Culture D. Artistic Responses to Empire and Industry 1. The Arts and Social Anxiety — The arts were influenced by economic innovation, as well as Darwin's theory that strong civilizations that failed to keep up with changing conditions would perish. Emile Zola's dark visions of social and family decay in industrializing France raised questions about civilization. Other writers such as Emilia Pardo Bazan and Olive Schreiner depicted a widespread deterioration of behavior in urban and rural life, echoing the Social Darwinism in the air. 2. Countertrends in the Decorative Arts — Decorative arts offered a countertrend to stark realism. Mass-produced textiles were used to create traditional-looking costumes and invented customs based on a mythical past. Folk motifs were copied by urban architects and industrial designers, who were also influenced by imperial Persian and Indian motifs in designs of fabric, wallpaper, and household goods, which became simpler and less ornate. 3. Impressionism in Art — Painters were also influenced by industrial developments. By the 1870s, in reaction to the camera, painters such as Claude Monet used light, color, and visible brushstrokes to move away from realism. Painting in the style that came to be known as impressionism, they challenged artistic norms with vibrant colors and outrageous visual style. Along with the camera new factory-generated pigments contributed to an artistic rebellion. Global vision characterized much art, and Japanese art clearly influenced impressionism. Westerners borrowed styles from around the world, and American expatriate artist Mary Cassatt and Vincent Van Gogh both used Japanese images and motifs in their work. IV. The Birth of Mass Politics A. Workers, Politics, and Protest 1. Unions and Strikes — The growth of industry contributed to mass politics by bringing together workers who increasingly put pressure on the political and economic system. Unions attracted the allegiance of millions of workers, demanding a say in working conditions and wages. Businessmen and governments viewed strikes as dangerous, although some industrialists saw the advantage of unions because they presented worker's demands coherently. The pace of collective action accelerated from the 1880s, with strikes across Europe increasing more than 50 percent between 1888 and 1890. Housewives often supported strikers or engaged in collective action to sell confiscated goods at "fair" prices, protect children needed for work from truant officers, or act on behalf of evicted tenants. Governments increasingly called out troops or police to deal with striking workers. New unions that formed from the mid 80s were nationwide and planned general strikes across a range of trades. Larger unions fought against cartels, trusts, and governments. 2. Political Parties — Working class political parties emerged out of unions, including the Labour Party in England, the Socialist Party in France, and the Social Democratic parties in Sweden, Hungary, Austria, and Germany. Most were inspired by Marxist theories. An international socialist movement also developed as socialists in 1889 met to form the Second International, replacing the First International that had been founded by Marx after the Paris Commune. The Second International advocated for suffrage, better working conditions, and a Marxist revolutionary program. They opposed random violence and rejected the anarchism that was popular in less industrial parts of Europe. Women were involved in unions, but less so than men, as they had little time for meetings and were sometimes excluded by men. Workers joined social societies and established festivals and parades, which encouraged solidarity and physical fitness. IV. The Birth of Mass Politics B. Expanding Political Participation in Western Europe 1. Mass Journalism — In western Europe newspapers allowed ordinary people to become more politically aware. The will of the people became increasingly important in politics. Industrial developments led to the rise of mass journalism. Papers emphasized sensational stories, particularly those involving murder or sexual scandal. Journalism created a national community of upto-date citizens, a career path for up and comers in the middle and working class, and wider participation in the political process. 2. British Political Reforms — In England in 1879 William Gladstone used mass meetings to encourage broad participation in politics as he was elected Prime Minister. In 1872 a Ballot Act made voting secret and the Reform Act of 1884 doubled the electorate. Both the Liberal and Conservative parties established political clubs, which, along with unions, increasingly influenced national politics. An explosive political climate in Ireland and tensions between landlords and tenants led to the establishment of the National Land League. Irish tenants elected a solid block of nationalist representatives to British Parliament led by Charles Stewart Parnell (1846-1891), who demanded a separate Irish parliament. Gladstone accommodated Parnell with reforms but Conservatives opposed home rule and cracked down on Irish activism. The exposure of his affair with a married woman in 1890 ended Parnell's political career, as cultural values and the media determined politics. IV. The Birth of Mass Politics B. Expanding Political Participation in Western Europe 3. France's Third Republic — In France, defeat at the hands of Prussia led to the establishment of the Third Republic in 1871. Dogged by efforts of royalists to reassert power, economic downturns, widespread corruption and growing anti-Semitism, the Third Republic was unstable. An attempted coup by popular general George Boulanger showed the government's weakness. Leaders tried to strengthen loyalty to the state by instituting secular public schools, and mandating military service. 4. Political Liberalism Rejected — Although many western European leaders believed in economic liberalism, some states did not grant full political rights or establish republics. In Spain, the catholic Church and conservative landlords dominated, and Denmark and Sweden both had limited political participation. In Italy the vote was given to all men with primary school education, but many remained discontented, and southern Italians in particular felt less loyalty to the new nation, resenting taxes and the national draft. IV. The Birth of Mass Politics C. Power Politics in Central and Eastern Europe 1. Bismarck's Germany — Bismarck's powerful, united Germany upset the European balance of power. Bismarck sought to encourage political stability and forged the Three Emperors League with AustriaHungary and Russia. He worked with German liberals to establish financial institutions and a central bank. He attacked socialists, banning the Social Democratic Party in 1878 and sponsoring benefits for workers. He established tariffs in 1879 to protect German industry and agriculture, strengthening German conservatism. 2. Authoritarian Austria-Hungary — In Austria-Hungary, the liberals held power for a time in the 1870s, and the government enacted free-trade provisions, but the country remained monarchist and authoritarian. Despite some concessions, AustriaHungary was increasingly threatened by Slavic nationalism. In 1876 Slavs in Bulgaria and Bosnia-Herzegovina rebelled against Ottoman control. They were aided by Pan Slavic organizations and Russia, who declared war on Turkey in 1877. In 1878 a large pro-Russian Bulgaria was created by the Treaty of San Stefano, nearly generating a war as Austria-Hungary and Britain feared an enlarged Bulgaria and Russian expansion. An international congress held in Berlin staved off the threat of war, and rolled back the Russian victory by partitioning Bulgaria, but the Balkans remained in a state of political unrest. In 1882 Austria-Hungary and Germany formed a Dual Alliance for protection against Russia, they were later joined by Italy. A Reinsurance Treaty between Russia and Germany in 1887 was designed to prevent war in the region. 3. Unrest in Russia — Diplomatic setbacks and domestic problems beset Russia in the 70s and 80s. Denied a constitutional government, young Russians often turned to revolutionary groups, and the secret police arrested many. Russian novelists such as Leo Tolstoy, with his epic War and Peace (1869) and Fyodor Dostoevsky, who satirized radicals in The Possessed (1871) added to the debate about Russia's future. In 1881 a radical group assassinated Tsar Alexander II with a bomb, but failed to provoke a general uprising. Alexander III (1881-1894) unleashed new oppression, giving the police unlimited powers. Russian Jews and ethnic minorities were portrayed as a threat to Russian civilization, and Jews endured particularly harsh treatment. The dismissal of Bismarck in 1890 by the brash new German king, William II (r. 1888-1918) led to Germany's rejection of the Reinsurance Treaty, which further destabilized the diplomatic scene. 1. How is the appearance of these men distinctive, and why is this important? 2. Why would Russians have blamed Jews—isolated in ghettos—for their multitudes of problems?

While job search portals have been around for a while helping students look for suitable jobs, social media is also catching up.
For instance, Facebook is flooded with sector specific job hunt pages, where vacancies are regularly posted by recruiters or leads for any openings are put up by those seeking jobs. These pages have caught the attention of students and have helped many get jobs, internships or trainee-ship in companies. One such page, titled Media jobs Daily has become extremely popular among mass media, public relations and journalism students.
