Via Mecum
The AMX was released in 1968 and was actually an innovative and stylish two-seat sports car with some power. It was based on the Javelin, which had been mildly successful. However, by the late ‘60s, American Motors had a reputation as a stodgy manufacturer of economic cars, and consumers were not ready to buy an AMX over a Camaro, Firebird, or Corvette. 8 Renault Partnership
Via AutoEvolutions
Bt the mid 1970s, American Motors was hemorrhaging cash and was desperately looking for a partner to bail them out. French manufacturer Renault came to the rescue, however, it did not work out in the end. Renault itself was having financial issues and was under pressure from the French government to get rid of American Motors. Just as the company started making a profit again, Renault cut them loose in 1986. 7 Poor Reliability Perception
Via Hemmings
By the 1970s, none of the American car companies were putting out great products, American Motors included. However, while Chevrolet and Ford overcame the disastrous Vega and Pinto debacles, American Motors was not as agile in convincing consumers that their products were reliable. They simply did not have the marketing and advertising resources that the bigger companies employed to overcome the poor perception.

Via Jeep
In 1970 American Motors purchased Kaiser Jeep, and it was a good move, as it would complement their car lines and none of the other American manufacturers had a similar product. While the Jeep division was always profitable, American Motors was never able to distinguish it from their other later offerings, like the Eagle SUV. Again, their marketing strategy did not take advantage of their different offerings like GM did with Buick, Chevrolet, Pontiac etc. 5 AMC Pacer Expenses

The Pacer was introduced in 1975 and was a completely new model that did not share any components with other American Motors offerings. As a result, it was an extremely expensive gamble for the company that did not pay off in large sales.

The Pacer was introduced in 1975 and was a completely new model that did not share any components with other American Motors offerings. As a result, it was an extremely expensive gamble for the company that did not pay off in large sales. Late in the design process, the engineers had to reconfigure the engine compartment for a six-cylinder engine that had terrible mileage compared to the competition. 4 Design Issues
Via RoadAndTrack
American Motors never seemed to time their design concepts with the market. When innovation was required in the mid 1960s, they stuck with older styles. By the time they did become innovative in the late 1960s and early 1970s, other manufacturers had already beaten them to the punch. The AMX was overshadowed by Chevrolet and Ford.

The Gremlin and Hornet were just poor designs. 3 Lack of Partnerships
Via Mecum
Partnerships among car companies became fairly common in the auto industry. It usually works out well for both companies. Instead of trying to compete, an American car company can rebadge a model (at a cost) for American consumers, such as the General Motors Geo Prizm from the Toyota Sprinter. American Motors often tried to go head to head with competitors and could not get the sales needed to make a profit.

Via GAAClassicCars
In the early 1960s, American Motors had cornered the small car market while the other American companies focused on making large vehicles. While American Motors stuck to the tried and true Rambler, Ford soon came out with the Falcon and Fairlane and Chevrolet Nova . This is really the point where the company's slow decline began. 1 Lackluster Advertising
Via Skillter
American Motors is known for a history of quirky cars, however, at the time the company did not develop any advertising campaigns to take advantage of that perception. Instead, their selling points were fact based and somewhat boring.

Title: Top 10 Terms from George Orwell's 1984 Novel - TheTopTens
Headings: Top 10 Terms from George Orwell's 1984 Novel
Top 10 Terms from George Orwell's 1984 Novel
Content: Top 10 Terms from George Orwell's 1984 Novel - TheTopTens
Top 10 Terms from George Orwell's 1984 Novel
There was no book that greatly influenced public perception on their government such as Orwell's 1984 book. The book is set in a dystopian world filled with three superpowers (Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia) that have been in a never-ending war against one another. The book features an oppressive totalitarian government that controls all aspects of their citizen's daily lives through the manipulation of knowledge thus blurring the lines between fiction and facts, and repression through the use of the state security apparatus by the Party. Written by a democratic socialist like Orwell as a critique of state totalitarianism, it has been banned in many nations because they feared that Orwell's 1984 work was subversive which goes to show that he was right in his work. This glossary list will showcase the terms Orwell had created or used in his 1984 book. Some of these words are in English or in "Newspeak" which I will explain later. The Top Ten
1 Newspeak
The official language of the superstate of Oceania and the Party. The language is conceived to reduce the words of the English language or "Oldspeak". It has limited vocabulary and restricted grammar with contracted words so that people would express their ideas as elementary as possible in order to restrict freedom of speech and expression that would otherwise go against the Party's contradicting doctrine and dogma. 2 "War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength"
The best way I could put it is that the Party believed that they can maintain peace by continuing the war effort against the other superstates so that it could bind the populace together through ultranationalism, that any independent community would be unsuccessful due to their own misguided views and failures (thus being a slave to one's own instinct) without any guidance from a higher central authority, and that the Party tries to maintain societal order and stability by keeping their populace docile.

Content: Also no.) Because the vast majority of American homicides are committed with guns, both the national murder rate and the more relevant citywide and neighborhood murder rates — about which, more below — frequently figure into our reporting at The Trace. In this guide, we’ve collected the most up-to-date statistics on murders in America, as well as the critical context that often gets missed. Long-term murder rates are down, despite recent increases
The data is clear: America is a much less murderous place than it once was. Following its peak in the early-’90s, the national murder rate has declined steadily. The rate for big American cities — those with populations greater than 250,000 — follows a similar pattern, though with more dramatic fluctuations. Look closely at the above graphic, and you’ll see a more recent trend that has some crime analysts alarmed: Between 2014 and 2016, the murder rate ticked up. That upward trend is attributed to sharp increases in crime in a handful of American cities.

Murder Rates of Major U.S. Cities
Content: “Because Chicago has so many people, it can get a murder every day, and that gets people’s attention,” John Pfaff, a professor of law at Fordham Law School, told The Trace. “ When you focus on numbers, not rates, Chicago ends up looking worse because you forget just how big a city it is.” If some scholars of crime had their way, discussions of murder rates would focus not on cities, but on the few urban neighborhoods battling vastly disparate murder levels: Travel a few city blocks, and rates of violence can fluctuate dramatically. The phenomenon is captured by the term “murder inequality,” a coinage of the young urbanologist Daniel Kay Hertz. Writing for The Trace, Hertz stressed that looking at smaller geographical areas paints a more accurate picture of the relative threat of violence that individual Americans face and can make prevention strategies more effective. In 2016, five police districts overseeing only 8 percent of Chicago’s population recorded around 32 percent of its murders. Two Chicago neighborhoods, Burnside and Fuller Park, counted a rate of more than 100 killings per 100,000 people. People living in them were nine times more likely to be shot in their neighborhood than in the city’s safest quarters. “Just like income, education and other metrics of social advantage, violent gun crime varies even more within American cities than between them,” Hertz wrote.

The problem of murder inequality is not unique to Chicago. In St. Louis, most killings are concentrated in neighborhoods like Greater Ville and the adjacent JeffVanderLou, which sit just a few miles from the city’s downtown. The same disparities exist for gun violence overall. Forty percent of non-fatal shooting incidents in 2017 occurred in only 10 of St. Louis’s 88 neighborhoods, according to police data.

A city’s borders can have a dramatic effect on its murder rate.

How do officer shootings affect the mindset of police?
Content: But the “war on cops” that some news reports and police advocates describe isn’t backed up by evidence. A new study from criminologists Justin Nix from the University of Nebraska Omaha and Michael Sierra-Arévalo from the University of Texas at Austin adds more data to the debate, while rejecting the notion that the profession has become increasingly unsafe. Here are the facts about officer-targeted violence. How often are police shot in the line of duty? In a study published in Criminology & Public Policy on July 20, Nix and Sierra-Arévalo analyzed fatal and non-fatal shootings of police officers between 2014 and 2019. The analysis relies on data from the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit that tracks shootings through media and police reports. During the study period, 1,467 local and state law enforcement officers were shot in 1,185 incidents, 249 of which were fatal. That works out to, on average, 245 officers shot per year, 42 of them fatally. The study excludes federal officers, corrections officers, and shootings of officers by colleagues. Nix and Sierra-Arévalo observed a spike in firearm assaults against officers in 2016, but did not find a sustained increase over the six-year period of their survey.

If you are new to presenting or plan to share your presentation with others you will find the use of speaker notes very effective. It can provide you with notes which indicate what should be discussed on each slide. Today I will show you how to add speaker notes to each slide within your presentation. You can then utilise the Presenter View features within Microsoft PowerPoint to deliver your presentation. Add speaker notes to your presentation
The first step in this process is to add speaker notes to each individual slide within your presentation. To add speaker notes to individual slides, follow these steps: Open Microsoft PowerPoint
From the Startscreen, select Open Other Presentation, or select a presentation from the Recent list
Ensure that Slide 1 is currently displayed. This is generally your opening title slide. If you cannot see the Notes areadisplayed underneath the slide area, click the Notesbutton located in the Status bar

Directly type any notes for Slide 1 into the notes area. For this exercise write a few lines on how you might introduce the presentation to the audience or possibly give them a brief introduction about yourself
Speaker notes should be brief bullet points or key information you want to discuss. I generally don’t recommend writing word-for-word exactly what you want to say as your presentation should feel natural and not scripted. You can use all font formatting options to make your notes easier to read, including the use of bullet or numbered lists
Select Slide 2 from the navigation pane
You will notice the notes area is empty
Repeat the process and enter some notes for Slide 2
Repeat this process until all slides contain speaker notes. You have now entered speaker notes

There are four main train ticket types in France, read on for more information on each of the different ticket types and what they’re best for. Prem’s
The cheapest ticket type, Prem's go on sale up to three months in advance, usually at their cheapest price so tend to sell out quickly. They may be the cheapest but they are also the least flexible. Prem's tickets are non-refundable or exchangeable. Available to buy for travel on TGV and Intercités trains. We'll show these tickets as Prem's in our Journey Planner. Best for
Budget travellers
Seconde
These are Second Class (also known as Standard) tickets. Seconde ticket prices increase as the departure date approaches. A more flexible ticket option, Seconde tickets are refundable and exchangeable.

How pricing works for French train tickets
TGV and Intercités tickets can normally be booked up to three months in advance, usually at their cheapest price, except during the following times on year when the SNCF sale runs: Between mid-December and mid-January, when tickets go on sale two months in advance. Between February to April, when tickets go on sale four months before the date of travel. Ticket prices for TGV and Intercités trains increase as the train fills up and it gets closer to the departure date. Tickets for TER trains are always sold at a set price.

If you want to book a seat, then you can book it online up to a year in advance, and it'll come at a nominal fee to secure the seat. How to use a BritRail Pass
Using your BritRail Pass depends on the type of pass you have and where you are, but the process of using it is the same. It really couldn’t be easier to board trains using your rail pass either, as it works just like a normal ticket would. Once you’ve boarded your train, you may need to present it again on the train should a ticket inspector conduct a check.

Most American Expats Who Wanted Out Chose One Of These Destinations
Becoming an expat doesn't necessarily mean struggling to find an amazing place to live and work, and these are the most popular amongst Americans. By Erynn Ruiz Published May 20, 2020

Plenty of Americans decide to move out of the United States and become long-term visitors and even permanent residents in other countries. And while their motivation for leaving ranges from better economic opportunities to a lack of trust in US politics, what is clear is where they go when they step off American soil. In general, Americans love traveling to a specific set of countries, but what happens when they're looking for their new permanent home? While the US doesn't keep stats on Americans leaving the US, multiple resources shed light on where they're going and why. From places where it's easy to get work as an expat to spots where you've got to learn the language to get by, here's where Americans are heading when they've had enough of the US. 12 Canada Beckons To American Expats
The Daily Dot
Aetna explains that while the US government doesn't officially track Americans who leave, figures exist on where the majority of expats go when they depart. Topping that list? Places in the western hemisphere, starting with Canada. Plenty of expats claim that living in Canada is far better than residing in the United States.

One transplant told Insider that they will never move back to the US because of "quiet politics, cross-country train, and the poutine" in Canada. 11 Most Americans Head South Of The Border
Marcy Yu
US expats also hop the southern border to find their new home, and what could be more convenient? First, there's Mexico, which is an amazing place to visit and has tons of attractions that will make you feel like one of the elite. The dollar goes farther in Mexico than in most American cities, and the cheaper costs of living are what drive many retirees there. Investopedia also explains that retirees like the warmer climate and the slower pace of living.

Content: Who gets the benefit of the general term? In countries that share a name, such as North and South Korea, one of them almost always rises above the other to be the country that people assume that you are referring to when you use the general term. In the case of the Koreas, South Korea takes that win. With the Irelands, it is the Republic that is generally referred to as good old Ireland. There are multiple reasons behind this generality, including the Republic’s larger size and international recognition. However, Northern Ireland is still a prevalent area that has influence over the affairs of both the UK and Europe as a whole. 6 Metric vs. Imperial measurements
Another important difference is that Northern Ireland, similar to America, uses the interesting imperial system. Specifically, all the road signs in Northern Ireland feature miles per hour instead of kilometers. Nowadays, it’s one of the only countries in the world to still hold on to the traditional method of measurement. The Republic of Ireland, on the other hand, uses the metric system of kilometers like the majority of the world.

While Northern Ireland has given off the weaker impression on this list so far, there’s no doubt that it features some of the world’s most beautiful sight-seeing destinations. First up, it features the famous, rustic Dunlap Castle, a beautiful structure right on the drop-off to the sea. Secondly, it also has natural beauties such as the valleys known as the Glens of Antrim as well as the gorgeous and rugged Rathlin Island.

Little Sisters of the Poor v. Pennsylvania; Donald J. Trump v. Pennsylvania
In Little Sisters of the Poor v. Pennsylvania and Trump v. Pennsylvania, the Supreme Court held that the Trump Administration had the legal authority to promulgate rules that provide an unconditional religious exemption from the Affordable Care Act’s contraceptive coverage requirement to not-for-profit, educational, and for-profit employers. Case Summary
In the 2014 case Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, the Supreme Court struck a balance, holding that the religious accommodation contained in the Affordable Care Act’s regulations provided the key to reconciling the rights of employers, employees, and the government. By extending the accommodation for religious non-profit employers to closely-held for-profit companies, the ruling accommodated objecting employers, while still ensuring that their employees received critically important insurance. In 2016, in Zubik v. Burwell, the Court refused to strike down the accommodation, giving the parties another opportunity to find a solution that respected the rights of employer and employee alike. In 2017, the U.S. Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Treasury issued interim final rules that made the accommodation optional and provided an unconditional exemption from the contraceptive coverage requirement for not-for-profit, educational, and for-profit employers whose owners possessed sincere religious or moral objections to contraception. In defense of the exemption, Little Sisters and the Trump Administration argue that the religious accommodation violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act and that an unconditional exemption is necessary to comply with RFRA. Constitutional Accountability Center filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the consolidated cases on behalf of military historians which argues that accommodations of the sort contained in the Affordable Care Act’s regulations—which allow religious objectors to opt out while third parties fulfill their obligations—represent a longstanding method of ensuring religious liberty while also protecting the rights of third parties and furthering important governmental purposes. Conscientious objector provisions figured prominently in debates over the Bill of Rights, were present in numerous Revolutionary-era state constitutions, and have existed in federal draft laws since the Civil War.

Conscientious objector provisions figured prominently in debates over the Bill of Rights, were present in numerous Revolutionary-era state constitutions, and have existed in federal draft laws since the Civil War. Our brief on behalf of scholars in the field of military history demonstrated through a review of these many examples that what Little Sisters and other challengers of the accommodation suggested is an impermissible burden on free exercise is historically a common practice—accommodating conscientious objectors by shifting their obligations to third parties who do not share that objection. In fact, religious accommodations have often required religious objectors to play a far more active role in shifting that responsibility than does the accommodation here, for example requiring religious objectors opposed to war to pay for a substitute to serve or take some other action to satisfy the important interests of the government. The Supreme Court held that the Trump Administration had the legal authority to issue rules creating an unconditional religious exemption for employers from the Affordable Care Act’s contraceptive coverage requirement, though it left open the question whether the rule is arbitrary and capricious. The ruling is a blow to all individuals in need of contraceptives and undermines the Affordable Care Act’s promise of guaranteeing access to contraceptive coverage. Case Timeline

Title: Controversial YouTuber banned from Patreon after alleged doxxing - The Verge
Headings: Controversial YouTuber banned from Patreon after alleged doxxing
Controversial YouTuber banned from Patreon after alleged doxxing
Onision has come under fire by the YouTube community for years
Next Up In Policy
Content: The tweet may have been removed before Twitter saw any such reports. “Yes, we removed Onision from Patreon”
A Patreon spokesperson confirmed to The Verge that it considered those actions to be doxxing, which violates its platform’s rules and justified Onision’s ban. “ Yes, we removed Onision from Patreon as he violated our Bullying and Harassment as it relates to doxing,” a Patreon spokesperson told The Verge. Patreon has a strict policy against doxxing, even if it occurs outside the company’s platform. “ Patreon does not allow creators to use Patreon to fund the practice of doxing,” Patreon says in a blog post. “ Our Community Guidelines clearly prohibit doxing and say that any creator caught in the act of malicious doxing — or encouraging others to do so — may be banned from using Patreon.” Reached for comment, Onision said he was confused about why the ban had been levied. “ I broke up with [Webb] in 2016,” he wrote. “ She has been upset with me ever since. I posted screen shots where I complimented our relationship all those years ago, expressing how I was sad about how it couldn’t work out.”

Title: Twitter keeps losing monthly users, so it’s going to stop sharing how many - The Verge
Headings: Twitter keeps losing monthly users, so it’s going to stop sharing how many
Twitter keeps losing monthly users, so it’s going to stop sharing how many
Next Up In Tech
Content: So while the daily user figure does look better for Twitter, it isn’t exactly a sign of runaway success. It’s smaller than competitors’ daily user counts, and its growth rate has declined or stalled in three out of the last four quarters. The monthly user decline is largely of the company’s own doing, Twitter has suggested in recent quarters. Twitter started losing users in the spring after cracking down on bots and spam. It also dropped SMS deals with carriers that covered the cost of receiving tweets via text, reducing the number of people who are likely to use the app without a smartphone. Twitter still says the user loss is because of its crackdown on bad accounts
This quarter, the company once again says user count was hurt by “by ongoing health efforts,” how resources were prioritized, and a further removal of spammy and suspicious accounts. There’s an extent to which Twitter’s user count is really just being brought in line with reality here. If Twitter is primarily losing bots and spam, and even low-engagement text message users, this latest (and final) monthly user count may now better reflect how many real people are actually using Twitter than the count did at the start of last year. Getting rid of bad accounts is ultimately a positive for Twitter. It means the platform is filled with more real users, and if it cuts down on bots spamming divisive or otherwise problematic content, it should make Twitter as a whole more welcoming to users.

Content: Twitter still says the user loss is because of its crackdown on bad accounts
This quarter, the company once again says user count was hurt by “by ongoing health efforts,” how resources were prioritized, and a further removal of spammy and suspicious accounts. There’s an extent to which Twitter’s user count is really just being brought in line with reality here. If Twitter is primarily losing bots and spam, and even low-engagement text message users, this latest (and final) monthly user count may now better reflect how many real people are actually using Twitter than the count did at the start of last year. Getting rid of bad accounts is ultimately a positive for Twitter. It means the platform is filled with more real users, and if it cuts down on bots spamming divisive or otherwise problematic content, it should make Twitter as a whole more welcoming to users. Still, it’s not the direction any company wants to see its user numbers headed. Twitter is down a total of 15 million monthly users since the figure started declining last year
None of which paints the strongest picture of Twitter, at least in the short term. The company has long known that it ought to address widespread issues on the platform, like harassment, to improve the experience for users. It’s started to take action, but the changes have been small. And as a product, Twitter has iterated at a glacial pace, slowly testing out minor new features to boost engagement.

Twitter says it’s seen a 16 percent decline in abuse reports from the same quarter a year ago, and that its enforcement measures have been three times as effective. This year, Twitter says its goal is to “take a more proactive approach to reducing abuse” on the site. The company also plans to keep improving its sign up process so that it’s harder for people — presumably people who have been banned before — to sign up again. Twitter also turned a profit again this quarter, for the fifth quarter in a row — and the fifth quarter ever. Investors aren’t pleased though, as Twitter’s projected earnings for next quarter aren’t as high as they’d hoped.

Content: Hashtags and challenges
TikTok practically runs on hashtags. It’s what makes the app so fun. Everything is communal, and everyone is encouraged to jump in. Clicking on hashtags, especially those that are generated around challenges, is an easy way to discover what people are using to get to the For You section. Many videos will often include a #ForYou hashtag in an attempt to get placed on the page. Just like any other app, getting to the front page is crucial to landing a viral TikTok video and securing additional followers. Considering TikTok is beginning to look into advertising directly in the app, monetization for TikTokers isn’t far off, and using hashtags to game the system is key to securing viewers. Keep in mind that TikTok is just like any other site when it comes to recommending videos for you to watch: it relies on an algorithm. If you watch 20 videos from one specific challenge, the next time you open up the app, For You might be flooded with nothing but specific challenge videos.

Users who are especially interested in watching Naruto memes and videos will probably be served content from a specific community of creators.

The way to get around the algorithm and ensure you’re seeing an eclectic assortment of content is to treat TikTok like Instagram, not YouTube. Don’t just rely on the front page for trending videos. Instead, spend a few minutes exploring different hashtags, featured creators, and even viral songs.

Title: YouTube permanently bans controversial creator LeafyIsHere - The Verge

YouTube permanently bans controversial creator LeafyIsHere
Move comes as YouTube cracks down on creator-on-creator harassment
Next Up In Tech
Content: Vail told YouTube creator Daniel “Keemstar” Keem that he didn’t receive any emails about specific videos prior to the ban. “We have strict policies that prohibit harassment on YouTube, and we remove content that violates our policies when flagged to our attention,” a YouTube spokesperson told The Verge. “ Channels that repeatedly violate our policies will be terminated.” The spokesperson confirmed that Vail’s ban is permanent. YouTube has started instituting new measures to try to prevent creator-on-creator harassment over the last year. The company came under fire after former Vox host Carlos Maza tweeted out multiple instances where conservative pundit Steven Crowder used homophobic and other derogatory language to talk about him. YouTube didn’t respond to the situation right away, but after backlash continued, the company temporarily removed Crowder from its partner program, essentially cutting off his channel’s ability to run advertisements. CEO Susan Wojcicki acknowledged that YouTube needed to institute new policies. “Channels that repeatedly violate our policies will be terminated”
Vail, who had close to 5 million subscribers at the time of his ban, found himself at the center of a few high-profile disputes over the last few months, most notably with H3H3’s Ethan Klein and Twitch streamer Imane “Pokimane” Anys. Vail tweeted in early June that he received two “channel strikes today for ‘harassment’ on my new videos,” noting that he was setting all his videos to private to hopefully avoid a third strike.

YouTube’s community guidelines state that three content strikes will lead to a channel’s termination. YouTube did not comment on which videos led to Vail’s ban. Notably, Vail’s ban arrived after he started an ongoing video series about Anys, in which he lobbed personal insults at her and her fans, leading to criticism from several high-profile Twitch streamers and YouTube creators. Videos that contain prolonged insults and may encourage viewers to disrupt another person’s stream violate the company’s guidelines. Vail’s ban didn’t come as a shock to many in the community, but his channel termination is a stark reminder of how different YouTube is in 2020 compared to the early 2010s.

When it’s no longer just ideas, but they’re criticizing them as a person”
“The policy has to be written in such a way that creators can comment on each other and criticize each other,” CEO Susan Wojcicki said in a 2019 interview while talking about the new policy. “ The question is ... where do you draw the line? Where do they cross the line?

When Berry died, Lincoln assumed the debts from the business. He managed to pay off the debt once he entered Congress in 1847. In 1834, Lincoln ran for the election for state legislature again and this time, he won. He then turned to self-education in law and he left the bartending business for good.

In 1837 Lincoln moved from New Salem to Springfield, where he thought he would have a better chance to get involved in politics, and have a better chance to get involved in politics he did. In 1860 Lincoln ran for president, but once he entered politics he denied selling alcohol by the drink. At the first of the Lincoln – Douglas debates in Ottawa on August 21, 1858, his opponent Stephen Douglass publicly accused Lincoln of operating a ‘grocery’, the frontier euphemism for a tavern.

Andrew Carnegie: The railroad and steel magnate who played his more imperative role as a Philanthropist
Feb 22, 2017 Ian Harvey
The wildly successful 19 th -century industrialist Andrew Carnegie once said, “Surplus wealth is a sacred trust which its possessor is bound to administer in his lifetime for the good of the community.” After making his name and fortune in steel production, Carnegie acted upon his belief that his wealth should be used to improve the world around him. His legacy as a philanthropist includes funding the creation of libraries, schools, and various organizations. However, Carnegie’s beginnings were humble, and years of hard work and dedication reserved him a place on the top. Andrew Carnegie, American businessman, and philanthropist
Andrew Carnegie was born on November 25th, 1835 in Dunfermline, Scotland. His father William was a weaver, and his mother Margaret worked various jobs to help support the family during hard times. In 1848, the family borrowed money from Carnegie’s uncle, George Lauder, Sr. to immigrate to the United States in search for a better life.

Morgan’s buyout of Carnegie Steel and other steel companies eventually became the United States Steel Corporation or U.S. Steel. Now a man of vast wealth, Carnegie focused all of his time on philanthropy. In 1889, he published an article titled “The Gospel of Wealth” that outlined his views on how industrialists should use their wealth to create and support good causes. Carnegie’s own efforts throughout his business and retirement years focused on educational and social improvements, especially the creation of public libraries.

Carnegie’s goal was to create as many libraries as he could, and he eventually donated funds to open 3,000 libraries worldwide. He began achieving his goal in his hometown of Dunfermline, Scotland, by opening a library in 1883. He also provided funding for libraries in Allegheny, Pittsburgh, and Edinburgh. His directions were always focused on building the library and purchasing books to fill it, but the city was obliged to give the land and fund the library’s operation. Andrew Carnegie’s philanthropy.

He donated $2 million dollars in 1901 to start the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh, which would morph into the now-prestigious Carnegie Mellon University. Along with Booker T. Washington, Carnegie was a major benefactor in the development of the Tuskegee Institute. He also started the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, D.C.
However, Carnegie did not limit his support of higher education only to the United States. $10 million dollars was given for the creation of the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland– the money went to furthering scientific research and helping students to attend universities in his native country.

Andrew Carnegie had a double-sided nature – ruthless steel magnate-entrepreneur and a caring benefactor. His generosity continues to help people around the world and provides a model for modern billionaires who often follow Carnegie’s example in using their fortunes to further educational and social progress.

As Carnegie himself explained his life, “I resolved to stop accumulating and begin the infinitely more serious and difficult task of wise distribution.”

Title: The scientific reasons you can 'sense' when someone is watching you

Content: The scientific reasons you can 'sense' when someone is watching you
Picture this: You're sitting on a nearly empty subway car at night, engrossed in your book or your Instagram feed or whatever you do to pass the time on your commute. You reach a stop, you hear the doors slide open and shut, and the train carries on its way. After a few minutes, your neck begins to stiffen and tense, and a tingling sensation begins to spread — and you can't explain how you know, but you just know that it's because of someone else's gaze. You look up and, sure enough, someone across the car is looking right at you. Your eyes meet briefly, then you look away, slightly spooked. You feel too uncomfortable to check again to see if the stranger is still staring, but your body tells you she is; your neck continues to tingle, as if her eyes are brushing it up and down. Most of us have experienced the feeling of being watched at some point, whether the gaze is unwanted (a creepy train stranger) or desired (an attractive new acquaintance at your friend's house party). The sensations accompanying this phenomenon can sometimes feel almost paranormal — it's as if you can physically feel the eyes of others boring into you, even without looking, or like you have a second pair of eyes on the back of your head.

When it comes to being stared at, like many other things we feel or know instinctually, our systems are detecting things far beyond our conscious gaze. Consider a 2013 case study of a patient identified as TN: He was cortically blind, meaning that his visual cortex was damaged such that he couldn't "see" in the traditional sense, but his brain still received input from his eyes. In this study, TN was shown pictures of faces, some that appeared to be looking straight at him, others looking off to the side. Though TN could not explain or articulate what he was seeing, activity in his amygdala — the part of the brain that responds to threat and arousal — spiked when he was shown pictures with faces that seemed to be staring at him.

One of the first people to study the feeling of being watched was Dr. Edward Titchener, a psychologist working at the turn of the 20th century. He wrote an entire article about the tingling sensation, called " The Feeling of Being Stared At." In it, he dismissed the idea that gaze itself could have that sort of an impact on the skin: " If one thinks hard of one's knee, or foot, e.g.," he wrote, "one will obtain a surprisingly intensive and insistent mass of cutaneous and organic sensations of which one was previously unconscious."

Title: The scientific reasons you can 'sense' when someone is watching you
Headings:
Because your eyes pick up on more than you know.
Because you can think your way into feeling.
Because gaze is extremely important.
Because you often wrongly assume that you're being looked at …
… but that can actually be a good thing.

We may feel tingly, but the source of the tingling stems from the belief we're being watched, not the watching itself; it's something you've willed into being through your own imagination. Because gaze is extremely important.

Because gaze is extremely important. We should also talk about what makes us freak out about this feeling in the first place — the fact that we often fixate on where people are looking at all. Our brains spend a disproportionate amount of energy wondering whether people are staring at us — so much so that there's a theory that we have an entire neurological network devoted to this activity. In fact, as Oxford neuroscience researcher Harriet Dempsey-Jones explained last year for The Conversation, the human eye is engineered to be revealing. "It's not just our brains that are specialized to draw us to the gaze of others," Dempsey Jones wrote. " Our eyes are also exceptionally formed to catch attention and easily reveal the direction of gaze."

Human eyes are distinctive from the eyes of almost any other species in that we have a large white area around our pupils and irises, known as the sclera. As Dempsey-Jones noted, the sclera may make it easier for one human to detect the direction of the gaze of another. Why is this important? In a word: communication.

Content: "Basically, eyes provide us with insights into when something meaningful is happening," she explained. This includes external-world happenings — the mammoth is charging from that direction! — as well as more personal ones: Out of all the Paleolithic dudes in the sea, you're the Paleolithic dude for me. In a species whose primary strength is communication, gaze has evolved into an extremely powerful tool for indicating interest, resources, danger, lust, and even more complex emotions like love. Because you often wrongly assume that you're being looked at …
That's not to say we always get it right. A 2013 study published in the journal Current Biology found that when we're uncertain about which way a person's gaze is directed — like when their eyes are hidden behind sunglasses — we often falsely assume that we're the target. Which, in turn, means that the feeling of being watched may become a self-fulfilling prophecy: When you think someone is staring at you from behind, you might turn around suddenly to face them, causing that person to look in your direction. It's also possible that you subconsciously noticed that person staring at you before you turned your back, and your memory alerted you to the fact several minutes later.

We're sensitive to gaze, researchers believe, because that sensitivity can be a tool for survival. " Direct gaze can signal dominance or a threat, and if you perceive something as a threat, you would not want to miss it," Colin Clifford, a cognitive scientist at the University of New South Wales and one of the co-authors of the Current Biology study, explained in a statement. " So assuming that the other person is looking at you may simply be a safer strategy."

Eye contact can also signal other kinds of connection, he added: " Direct gaze is often a social cue that the other person wants to communicate with us, so it's a signal for an upcoming interaction." Staring, in other words, can signal intimacy as well as danger — both things we need to pay attention to for our own well-being. Besides, to varying degrees, we're all victims to the superiority illusion, thinking of ourselves that we're healthier, more moral, more observant, and all around better than everyone else — so why not add "more likely to command a stranger's attention" to the list? It doesn't matter if that's actually the case;

How to properly dispose off electronic devices
Download PC Repair Tool to quickly find & fix Windows errors automatically
You might already have heard of the term ‘ electronic waste ‘ and the damage it does to the environment. This article is not about waste and damages to the earth. Rather, it focuses on the security of your data. That means, when you throw away an old phone, it is not safe for you even if you have deleted all data on the old device manually. Let’s look deeper into what I mean when I say how to dispose of electronic devices properly. Types of electronic devices
Computers and phones – electronic devices that can use a processor and an operating system to automatically or manually store data inside them fall into this category
Digital Media – an example could be digital cameras and mp3 players. Any device that contains multimedia content such as music and images etc. artifacts fall into this category
Peripheral Devices – these are the devices that are used by other electronic parts to extend their functionality.

Peripheral Devices – these are the devices that are used by other electronic parts to extend their functionality. Examples are an external hard disk, SD Cards, USB Sticks, and similar things
Gaming Devices – Electronic or digital devices capable of sending data over wired or wireless connections for controlling any other electronic device
Other devices – Electronic devices that are used for entertainment or home appliances fall into this category; they too contain some information that they may have collected over time. Examples of this category devices are – Smart TVs, a connected coffee maker, and similar things. These too, need to be sanitized so that your data does not fall into other people’s hands. Did you delete all data securely from your discarded device?

Title: How to properly dispose of electronic devices
Headings:
Content: Taking a Windows 10 tablet as an example, one might perform a software reset and assume that they have deleted all data properly from the phone. It is not the case. The data simply deleted from the device is readily available for recovery. All it requires is a good data recovery tool. Even if a person deletes phone contents manually by connecting it to a computer or simply deletes items one by one, it still is not safe. That kind of deletions can be undone, and data can always be restored (read) by the person who takes over the discarded device using data recovery tools. This could lead to security concerns when the supposedly deleted data contains information such as credit card information, house address, etc. How to dispose of electronic devices
There are certain methods to remove data from electronic devices based on how you dispose of them. If you are giving away any computer or similar electronic device to someone else or any institution, you need to “sanitize” the device before it leaves your hand. There are different methods to dispose of electronic devices or to sanitize them.

There are different methods to dispose of electronic devices or to sanitize them. Some of them are mentioned below. Use hard reset for securely erasing of mobile phones and tablets. More than often, the combination to initiate a hard reset is to press the Power and Lower Volume button at the same time. If that does not work, you can go to phone settings and use the reset option there. The Settings > Factory reset method may not be dependable though as we won’t know how securely data was deleted using that command.

Content: It changes among different brands. Using some software like Microsoft Surface Data Eraser to securely wipe off the data from computers, phones, tablets, and other electronics such as Digital Cameras, and Walkman. Almost every device can be connected to a laptop or a PC so that secure erase software may be used on them. Some software offer to write over the existing data so that the entire storage becomes unreadable. Some delete the existing data and rewrite random characters all over the storage place of the electronic devices
There are several freeware that will let you delete files permanently. Microsoft has recommended KillDisk and DP Wiper on its page explaining how to dispose of old computers. You may also use other free encryption tools. Physical destruction of storage devices is also an option if you think that the data on the hard disk drive or phone card is valuable. If the data on your phone or computer can reveal secrets about you and you are not satisfied with disk wipe software, physical destruction of the data is a good option.

The above states how to destroy data before you dispose of electronic devices that belonged to you so that the data on their storage devices is irrecoverable. Dispose off electronic devices – The environmental factor

Title: Hazardous Waste Statistics
Headings: Tons of hazardous waste thrown out
Tons of hazardous waste thrown out
13 tons of hazardous waste produced every single second
400-fold increase in hazardous waste generation
What is hazardous waste?
Where does hazardous waste come from?

Number of man-made chemicals found in humans NOT supposed to be there
We don’t know enough about how they affect us
But what we do know if not pleasant
Content: Hazardous waste is defined as waste that poses substantial or potential threats to public health and/or the environment because it is toxic, infectious, radioactive or flammable. Where does hazardous waste come from? Hazardous waste is mainly generated by the following sectors: Chemical manufacturing
Manufacturing of petroleum and coal products
Waste treatment and disposal
Manufacturing of agricultural chemicals such as pesticides, fertilizer
Manufacturing of iron and steel
But hazardous waste also comes from products that we use every day, for example, batteries, cosmetics, cleaning products, paints, pharmaceuticals, electronics…
700
Number of man-made chemicals found in humans NOT supposed to be there
Hazardous chemicals are found everywhere and have contaminated every single ecosystem on the planet. Up to 700 man-made chemicals have been found in humans that are not supposed to be there. We don’t know enough about how they affect us
Currently only 14% of the chemicals used in the largest volumes have the minimum amount of data publicly available to make an initial basic safety assessment. But what we do know if not pleasant
The worst types of chemicals from hazardous waste interfere with our hormone systems and can cause cancer, reproductive problems, birth defects or damage the DNA of humans or animals. In a study of human chemical contamination, DDT and PCBs, two dangerous chemicals banned decades ago, were found in 99 % of the people tested. “Women who had breast-fed their babies had lower levels of certain PCBs than men, indicating that they had 'off-loaded' these chemicals on to their babies”. - WWF:

Content: Many of our E-Waste end up in Asia or Africa landfills. The recycling method in these landfills is not the “recycling” that we have in mind. E-Waste is bad, for you and me, for our planet and most especially for the workers on the landfills. E-Wastes are buried or incinerated in landfills where their toxins pollute our land, air and water. Most of the time, they are sent to developing countries where workers extract the precious metals from the discarded electronics. Workers on E-Waste sites are paid an average of $1.50 per day. They are unprotected while working with the toxic substances on the site. They are the first to inhale the toxins that are released in the air when electronic parts are burned. Many of these workers are children! Why we should recycle Electronics
Cellphones and other electronic devices contain precious metals like gold and silver.

Content: The US alone throws away cellphones with $60 million worth of gold/silver yearly. Recycling 1 million laptops saves energy equivalent to the energy used by 3600 homes in the US annually. Most of the components of E-Waste are electronic equipments that can be re-used and recycled for materials recovery. What can we do about our personal E-Waste
There are several options when it comes to the proper disposal of your electronic devices. Your old cellphone can still be used by another person. Same with your old computer or television. Donate it to friends, charities or community outreach programs – even to a stranger! This is better than the hazardous e-waste materials ending up in a landfill somewhere. At the same time, you make someone happy. It’s a win-win option!

Will my Phone Work in Europe? Before jumping into what the best international SIM Card for Europe with data is, you need to ensure that your phone will actually work when you arrive. Most carriers around the world allow for international roaming, meaning your phone will work as soon as you arrive in Europe. The bad news? This service tends to be outrageously expensive and should be avoided at all costs – particularly if you’re planning on using data abroad.

These are, therefore, some things that are essential to consider before purchasing an international SIM card for Europe. Does Your Phone Use GSM? Mobile phones around the world use one of two different types of technology: CDMA or GSM. Without getting into the technical differences between the two, it means that you can’t put a SIM card that uses GSM into a mobile phone with CDMA technology or vica-versa. In most of the world, including Europe, mobile phones use GSM technology. So if you’re travelling to Europe from anywhere except North America, then your phone will be compatiable in Europe.

In North America, whether your phone uses GSM or CDMA will depend on your provider. Out of the major providers in the USA, T-Mobile and AT&T use GSM while Verizon and Sprint have historically used CDMA. However, Verizon is planning on switching off its CDMA network by 2020 and there is talk of other CDMA providers doing the same. In Canada, the use of GSM or CDMA varies by province. If your phone uses CDMA, then these travel SIM cards won’t work in your phone.

You should however do the math and compare the cost of a new phone compared to using an international data pack with your existing provider. Having data makes sharing photos in Europe a lot easier! If you’re planning on going to Europe for more than a couple weeks you might be surprised that buying a new phone and a prepaid SIM card for Europe actually turns out to be cheaper! For example, Verizon, charge $10 per day to use your phone in Europe.

Some unlocked phones that I recommend for travellers to Europe are the Samsung J2 Prime or Samsung A50
Another option if you don’t want to buy a new phone is to invest in a mobile WiFi hotspot which is particularly useful if travelling outside of the European Union. You can also rely on public WiFi which is commonly available in Europe, however, make sure you subscribe to a quality VPN such as ExpressVPN. If you’re unsure which technology your phone uses, call your provider and ask. Is My Phone Unlocked?

Typically, when you go on a mobile phone plan, they lock your mobile phone so it can’t be used with SIM cards that aren’t provided by your carrier. If your phone is currently locked to your provider and you are not under contract with them, then call them up and ask them to unlock your phone. They are required to do this legally and it shouldn’t cost you anything. If on the other hand, you are under contract with your mobile phone provider, then they will likely request a huge fee (or deny you all together) to unlock your phone.

If you’re from one of these 71 countries that include places like the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand & Singapore you can activate your SIM card at home to ensure that it works before travelling to Europe. This fantastic international SIM card is run by Three UK meaning you can easily recharge online or via the phone while on the road without any language barriers if you speak English. A couple of things to keep in mind with this SIM card is that you can’t use it as a personal hotspot when abroad and to make sure to switch off data if visiting a country that isn’t included in their 71 countries list as the data roaming costs can be very expensive. You can also use the minutes included in the pack to only call other UK or European numbers so this SIM card isn’t ideal if you plan to call other international numbers. Though, there is obviously plenty of data to use for Whatsapp or Skype instead!

Equity vs. Equality in the Classroom
Content: freedom from bias or favoritism.” When we talk about equity in education, we usually mean something similar to “fairness.” But what does this look like in practice at the national, district, school, classroom, or individual student level? Much has been made of the difference between equity and equality. While equality means treating every student the same, equity means making sure every student has the support they need to be successful. Equity in education requires putting systems in place to ensure that every child has an equal chance for success. That requires understanding the unique challenges and barriers faced by individual students or by populations of students and providing additional supports to help them overcome those barriers. While this in itself may not ensure equal outcomes, we all should strive to ensure that every child has equal opportunity for success. Aspects of Educational Equity
The Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) defines two dimensions of equity in education: Fairness, which means ensuring that personal and social circumstances do not prevent students from achieving their academic potential.

While some aspects of equity in education must be addressed on a broader systemic scale, there are many things that can be done at the individual school and classroom level to create a more equitable environment for students. Achieving equity is closely tied to personalized learning: it requires understanding each student’s individual needs and designing educational experiences that will help all students achieve success. In an equitable—as opposed to merely equal—classroom, each student is given the support and scaffolding they need to optimize their educational progress. The goal is for all students to work in their Zone of Proximal Development, which is defined as “the difference between what a learner can do without help and what he or she can do with help.” That may mean that: Some students will have different expectations on an assignment, such as only writing three paragraphs instead of five.

These extra resources and accommodations do not make the classroom more “equal”—some students are getting more support, time, and attention than others. But they do make it much more equitable: additional resources are going to students with greater needs. At the school and district level, educational leaders have a responsibility to: Ensure that teachers have the materials, resources, and training they need to design an equitable classroom. Provide access to programs and strategies that support the goal of equity and enable all students to succeed. Support teachers when addressing parent concerns—for example, when explaining why some students were given more time on an assignment than others.

Equity vs. Equality in the Classroom
Content: additional resources are going to students with greater needs. At the school and district level, educational leaders have a responsibility to: Ensure that teachers have the materials, resources, and training they need to design an equitable classroom. Provide access to programs and strategies that support the goal of equity and enable all students to succeed. Support teachers when addressing parent concerns—for example, when explaining why some students were given more time on an assignment than others. Ensure that there is a fair and objective way to determine student academic needs, monitor academic progress, and implement support systems that serve all students. Empowering All Students to Succeed
Ultimately, building a more equitable educational environment is about student empowerment: making sure all students have what they need to succeed in the classroom and beyond. This includes students in Special Education, English Language Learners (ELLs), Gifted and Talented, and other students with diverse educational needs. Cherry Creek School District in Colorado used Thinking Maps and Path to Proficiency to help them increase educational equity for their growing ELL population.

This includes students in Special Education, English Language Learners (ELLs), Gifted and Talented, and other students with diverse educational needs. Cherry Creek School District in Colorado used Thinking Maps and Path to Proficiency to help them increase educational equity for their growing ELL population. Using Maps to make thinking visible helped ELLs accelerate language acquisition, access grade level content while still learning English, and connect with their English-speaking peers. ELL Program Coordinator Meg Lucerno says, “Creating the Maps is something that all students can be successful with, regardless of their language skills. They can use pictures, individual words, or short phrases. The Maps let them show what they can do an engage in meaningful classroom interactions with their peers.” Read the full story here.

Title: Colonial House . Printable Page . Lesson Plans . Mythconceptions | PBS
Headings:
Content: ANSWER: FALSE. Contrary to popular belief, early English colonists during the 1620s and 1630s did not usually wear black suits or skirts with white collars and cuffs. Black cloth was expensive and hard to obtain, so colonists wore black clothing only on Sundays or for other special occasions (if they had any at all). Colonists commonly wore colors such as brown, gray, green, beige, red, blue, and purple. Early colonists did not wear buckles on their shoes, hats, or clothes. Illustrators in the nineteenth century, three hundred years later, depicted the colonists with buckles on their hats and shoes because at that time, buckles were considered old-fashioned. Buckles did came in to fashion late in the seventeenth century and early in the eighteenth century ... over 70 years after the first permanent colonies in New England. But thinking that the Pilgrims and their contemporaries wore black and white outfits adorned with buckles is like thinking that most people in 2003 dress the way people did in the early 1930s ... it simply isn't true. QUESTION 3) All English colonists in the seventeenth century came to the New World seeking religious freedom.

Title: Freedom: A History of US. Webisode 6: A War to End Slavery | PBS
Headings:
Content: A war to end slavery, a war to defend states' rights, or a war to preserve the Union: for what purpose did Americans fight and over six hundred thousand die between 1861 and 1865? After decades of sectional strife over the extension of the South's peculiar institution into new territory, the nation exploded into civil war. In April 1861, South Carolina troops fired on Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, and Lincoln called for volunteers for the Union army. Eleven Southern states seceded from the Union. The Union debacle at the battle of Bull Run (Manassas) awakened Americans to the ugly realization that the war would be neither short nor bloodless. The Confederacy boasted excellent generals, such as Lee and Jackson, but it lacked the industrial resources and men to sustain a prolonged struggle. Lincoln could not find generals of equal caliber until Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan rose to high command. The Union, however, had the resources and population to endure and ultimately prevail. Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, issued in 1863 after the costly Union victory at Antietam, freed all enslaved persons within the Confederacy.
