Mangrove Forest
The mangrove forests of Costa Rica can only be accessed by boat and viewed from the water. Mangroves thrive in a brackish and saltwater environment. Their specialized roots are above ground and can filter out the majority of the salt from the water they take in. Mangroves also play an important role in protecting the coastlines from destruction due to strong storm swells, and they filter the freshwater that comes from land before it enters the ocean. Mangrove forests are also a nursery for many different types of fish, including baby sharks, and caimans, crocodiles, and birds. You can observe these intricate estuary forests by taking a boat tour in Drake Bay or in Tortuguero, but there are mangrove forests in multiple places along the Pacific and Caribbean coast.

Wetlands
The wetlands of Costa Rica, such as Palo Verde and Cano Negro, are an important shallow-water ecosystem that hosts a variety of nesting and foraging waterbirds. The wetlands include the rivers, marshes, and seasonally inundated woodlands.

The wetlands of Costa Rica, such as Palo Verde and Cano Negro, are an important shallow-water ecosystem that hosts a variety of nesting and foraging waterbirds. The wetlands include the rivers, marshes, and seasonally inundated woodlands. They are also home to crocodiles, caimans, iguanas, bats, several species of monkeys, snakes, frogs, and a lot of insects. There are large populations of migratory and permanently based birds that call the wetlands home. Like the mangrove forests, this ecosystem can only be accessed by boat. A boat trip to either Palo Verde or Cano Negro will be an excellent opportunity to witness a lot of different animals. Cute caiman | © Ching/Flickr
Coral Reef
There are colorful color reefs on both the Pacific and Caribbean sides of Costa Rica.

Coral Reef
There are colorful color reefs on both the Pacific and Caribbean sides of Costa Rica. Coral reefs are an intricate ecosystem made up of symbiotic relationships between algae and the living coral (which are actually animals similar to sea anemones). The coral reefs also provide shelter and feeding grounds for hundreds of species of tropical fish, sharks, rays, sea turtles, and mollusks. Dolphins and whales sometimes visit the outer fringes of the coral reefs, as well. Coral reefs protect the coastline from heavy storm waves and swells. Some of the best coral reefs to dive are part of the Cahuita National Park, Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge, the Catalina Islands, Bahia Ballena National Marine Park, and the original Treasure Island, Isla del Coco.

Caribbean Coastline
The Caribbean coastline is 125 miles (200 kilometers) long and stretches between Nicaragua and Panama. The coastal region of the Caribbean is made up of pristine and palm-tree lined beaches, mangrove swamplands, and river mouths that back up to tropical rainforest and banana plantations. The resident wildlife includes rainbow-billed toucans, chestnut-mandibled toucans, aracari toucans, white-faced capuchin monkeys, two- and three-toed sloths, boa constrictors, Jesus lizards, and iguanas, just to name a few. There is far more rainfall on the Caribbean coastline than on the Pacific coastline. Rainbow bill | © Tambako the Jaguar/Flickr
Pacific Coastline
The Pacific coastline varies from north to south.

Pacific Coastline
The Pacific coastline varies from north to south. The north is must more rugged and backs up to tropical dry forest and vast fields. The north region of Guanacaste is referred to as Costa Rica’s gold coast due to its warm dry weather and stunning beaches. As you head south, the forest changes from dry to rainforest. The wildlife varies up and down the coast. There is a lot more visible wildlife on the coast the further south you head, since the forests tend to meet right up with the beach and ocean, whereas in the north they are set back a bit further.

11 Of The Cruelest Tyrants From History
Sophia White

Add to Plan
As a historical figure you can either be famous or infamous. The characters below can arguably fall into either camp – they were leaders after all – but they will certainly be remembered more for the bad than for the good. We are really spoiled for choice when it comes to cruel tyrants in the 20th century, so here are 11 of the cruelest tyrants from over 100 years ago. Oliver Cromwell, by Samuel Cooper | © National Portrait Gallery/WikiCommons
Caligula (Roman)
We will start the list with one of history’s oldest, cruelest and most unpredictable tyrants. Caligula ruled from 37AD to 41AD, and in these four short years he restored treason trials, causing the death of many. Records show that the first six months of his reign were quite moderate, but after this, he worked manically to increase the unconstrained power of the emperor, attained new lands – both for himself and for the Empire – and led a campaign of sadism, extravagance and sexual perversity for the remaining three and a half years of his reign. He was murdered at the Palatine Games, which seems to be a point to karma. Enver Pasha (Turkey)
Enver Pasha began his career as a Turkish military officer before rising to power, leading the Ottoman Empire in both Balkan Wars and the First World War. His army suffered a harsh loss at the Battle of Sarikamish, and this prompted his systematic destruction of Armenia, having chosen the Armenians as the scapegoats for his defeat. The term ‘genocide’ was created to describe this event, and the 2.5 million deaths are a testament to his evil.

Arguably more impressive, however, was the cover up of the event by many of the history books of the 20th century. Say what you will about the Kardashians, but they have done quite a bit to bring attention to the Armenian genocide. Oliver Cromwell (United Kingdom)
‘The grass is always greener on the other side.’ Oliver Cromwell led the Roundheads to victory over the Royalists in the English Civil War, and was one of the signatories of King Charles I’s death warrant in 1649; this was just the start of his autocratic behavior.

History has not been kind to one of Britain’s few non-Royal leaders in nearly two millennia, with Cromwell being widely regarded as a regicidal military dictator by many. His treatment of the Scottish and Irish Catholics is particularly derided. His religious rulings were highly controlling, and led to death tolls in genocidal numbers. Plus, he will forever be remembered as the man who took Christmas. Young Porfirio Diaz | © Public Domain Image/WikiCommons
Porfirio Diaz (Mexico)
Once seeming to be the great liberator of Mexico, Porfirio Díaz quickly proved himself to be an authoritarian who ruled with an iron fist, albeit for an impressive 27 years.

11 Of The Cruelest Tyrants From History
Content: As is often the case with dictators – and really, this is quite a truism – their main focus is on themselves rather than of the people that they are ruling over. Díaz took control of Mexico from Manuel Gonzalez who had refused to relinquish the presidency, as was required by law. Díaz then hypocritically went on to do the same, centralizing the government, achieving total control, and arguably destroying (or revitalizing, according to some) the country’s economy. Díaz later announced that Mexico would have presidential elections, and proceeded to rig the results, sparking the beginning of the Mexican Revolution. 27 years is all it takes for the oppression to become too much. Fu Sheng (China)
China has been plagued with its fair share of questionable leaders throughout its long history, but Fu Sheng is the original and arguably ‘the worst’ tyrannical leader of one of the world’s most consistently powerful nations. ‘ The One-Eyed Tyrant’, as he was lovingly called, he was an emperor who ruled the Former Qin Kingdom. His nickname came from the fact that he had one eye, and was so self-conscious about this that he would have people killed if they used the words ‘devoid of,’ ‘without,’ ‘lacking,’ or any other utterance that would remind him of his shortcomings. He led a violent and cruel regime, and some of his sadistic tendencies included boiling live animals, and skinning both live animals and humans. He was deposed while drunk and sentenced to death by being dragged by a horse.

Content: He was known to arbitrarily kill those whom he considered a threat, culminating most famously in the Massacre of Novgorod, which saw some 3,000 brutally injured or killed. His paranoia made him deeply distrustful of all those around him, and as a result he had a tense relationship with the Russian nobility. Terrible as he may have been, but it is his erratic behavior that was the most terrifying. Tokugawa Ieyasu (Japan)
Another of the original leaders of an Asian nation, this time, Japan. The country’s history remains one of the most secretive, but word of Tokugawa Ieyashu ‘s practices spread far and wide. He was the founder and first shogun of Japan’s Tokugawa shogunate, remaining in power until his death, even though he technically abdicated in 1605, having initially seized power in only 1600. Power and wealth drove him even from a young age, and his rise to power and ensuing reign were littered with high body counts. Those who stood in his way were ruthlessly slaughtered. He was a very calculating leader, which played in his favor politically, but the severe traits of his power often reared their ugly head, as he frequently slayed those that stood in his way (or who simply survived his ongoing crusades). Genghis Khan (Mongolia)
For better or worse, he is one of Mongolia ‘s most famous figures, although the tourism board is probably working hard to change this.

Content: A booming rubber industry was a lasting legacy of this permitted slaughter. Maximilien Robespierre (France)
A lesson that we can learn from Maximilien Robespierre is that, up to a point, if it seems that what are you doing is noble enough and benefits the country to significant extent, people may judge you more kindly. But history isn’t kind. Robespierre was a highly principled leader, and arguably one of the more enlightened of the European leaders of the time. He went far to secure France ‘s reputation as a forward-thinking state. His ideas may have placed him as l’Incorruptible, but his actions cemented his place as a tyrant. The systematic killing of his enemies in order to realize his ideals is quite alarming. The person who can easily justify radical and widespread murder is the person that should be the most feared. Vlad III (Romania)
We shall round off the list with another tyrant with a great nickname, this time as Vlad the Impaler; who was the inspiration for one of fiction’s most famous villains.

We shall round off the list with another tyrant with a great nickname, this time as Vlad the Impaler; who was the inspiration for one of fiction’s most famous villains. As with a number of cruel tyrants, particularly those from several centuries ago, there is a certain mysticism and respect surrounding Vlad III, who mercilessly fought to protect Romania and Bulgaria from the Ottomans. As you may have guessed from his posthumous nickname, Vlad was known for his practice of eliminating his enemies through impalement, one of the most violent and painful deaths that could face a person. His sadistic reputation spread to the far reaches of Europe, and his legend lives on: it is quite the feat to be regarded as a hero while simultaneously having well-known stories of cutting the breasts off women, as well as roasting children, and feeding the remains to family members. You have to slightly admire the creativity and power of the man.

Le Havre first faced hardships during World War I
Hitler’s Festung made the city a massive target

Content: A bombed out Le Havre in the winter of 1944 to 1945 | © Arizonaman1 / WikiCommons
In total, Le Havre endured 132 bombings during the Second World War. The most impactful came on September 5 and 6 when the British Royal airforce carried out Operation Astoria, also known as the ‘storm of iron and fire’. This bombing swiftly wiped out Le Havre’s downtown core and weakened its port. Le Havre undoubtedly became one of the most destroyed European towns during the war, a disaster than translated into 5,000 fatalities. On September 12, 1944, the city was liberated by the Allied forces and its horrors were acknowledged by a Legion of Honour from General Charles de Gaulle on July 18, 1949.

Auguste Perret gave the post-war city a complete overhaul
With approximately 12,500 buildings eradicated and roughly 80,000 left homeless, tending to the destruction became a national priority for France. Auguste Perret was enlisted as the lead architect and the city was to be built anew in a massive project that began in 1945 and finished in 1964. Perret, a Belgian-born architectural pioneer and teacher of the Swiss architect Le Corbusier, aimed to maintain the town’s original pattern and build upon it using new planning ideas, advancements in construction technology and structural classicism.

Concrete allowed the project to move along faster
Perret’s material of choice was reinforced concrete, which would get the job done quickly, efficiently and see that Le Havre’s residents would soon again have a home. Along with his team, he constructed a series of uniform apartment blocks using large slabs of concrete with interiors to match the needs of modern families.

Along with his team, he constructed a series of uniform apartment blocks using large slabs of concrete with interiors to match the needs of modern families. The result is a city unlike you’ll find anywhere else in France; the concrete structures built on a grid plan more closely resembling a contemporary North American city than a port town in Normandy. While perhaps not as sophisticated in appearance compared to other French cities, the choice to use concrete was one of integrity rather than style.

One of the post-war city’s most unique features is the St. Joseph church. Built during the 1950s, again out of concrete, the site serves equally as an homage to the 5,000 civilians lost in World War II as it does a place of worship.

You CAN’T photograph the police in Antibes
French music MUST be played on the radio
You CAN’T kiss on train platforms
You CAN’T have unlimited ketchup in schools
You CAN’T die in Le Lavandou

You CAN’T kiss on train platforms
Since 1910, in accordance with a law introduced by the Société national du Chemin de fer (the precursor to the SNCF), it has been illegal to kiss in French train stations and especially on their platforms. The ban was intended to avoid costly delays to the service and overcrowding in the stations. It’s unclear for how long the law was enforced or, indeed, what the punishment was for an illicit smooch, but there is certainly no formal penalty in place today. Kissing on the train │ | © fabhouess
You CAN’T have unlimited ketchup in schools
In 2011, the French authorities put in place a ban on unlimited ketchup, mayonnaise, and vinaigrette salad dressing in schools in an attempt to boost healthy eating amongst children. There are certain exceptions to this rule, however, including those meals served with French fries. The move is hoped to stem rising obesity rates in the country. According to 2014 figures, 23.9 per cent of the adult population has a BMI over 30, significantly higher than the Netherlands at 19.8 per cent, Germany at 20.1 per cent and Italy at 21.0 per cent, but lower than the United Kingdom at 28.1 per cent and the United States at 33.7 per cent.

You CAN’T die in Le Lavandou
In 2000, the mayor of Le Lavandou on the Mediterranean coast found himself in a rather troublesome position: the last grave in the local cemetery was filled at the same time as the regional court denied his request to build a new one nearby.

Government
Divided into city-states, ancient Greece has been a source of inspiration for many political systems we know today. Democracy was invented in Athens and it was unique in the sense that every citizen (read non-slave males) had the right to vote and speak at the assembly, where laws and decisions were made.

Architecture
Ancient Greek architecture has influenced many architectural styles of today. The use of columns and pediments for example, is a direct legacy from ancient Greece and is omnipresent in modern-day public buildings, such as parliament buildings, museums and even memorials. Come to think of it, the use of architecture as an art form, more than a utilitarian science comes from ancient Greek culture and is visible in constructions like the Acropolis of Athens or the sanctuary of Delphi.

Sports
We are pretty sure you’ve guessed it but yes, ancient Greece gave us the Olympic Games. The phenomenal sporting competition that we know today was actually invented around 776 BC and held every four years in Olympia, in Peloponnese. These games lasted for over 1,000 years before they were abolished when Christianity reached Greece. Another visible legacy in the world of sports is the marathon.

From Elspeth Champcommunal to Edward Enninful, Culture Trip takes a look back at the individuals who have shaped British Vogue throughout the ages. Vogue started life as a small New York society magazine. It was born in 1892, the brainchild of Arthur Baldwin Turnure who founded it as a weekly newspaper, focusing around the ceremonial side of life. It was a publication that attracted ‘the sage as well as debutante, men of affairs as well as the belle.’ From its inception, the magazine targeted the New York aristocracy, and the publication was primarily concerned with style, sports coverage and social affairs for the male readership. The small, weekly society magazine that went by the name of Vogue was staffed by the same New York high society that they were writing for. In 1905, Condé Montrose Nast began pursuing the acquisition of the magazine, and following delays due to Turnure’s sudden death from pneumonia in 1906, Nast acquired the magazine in 1909. His focus shifted to a female, fashion-oriented audience. In 1916, during the First World War, German U-boats imposed restrictions on overseas shipping, meaning that Vogue could no longer be sent from America to Europe.

How Mexico Formed A United National Identity Through Art

Beginning in 1910, the Mexican Revolution spawned a cultural renaissance, inspiring artists to look inward in search of a specifically Mexican artistic language. This visual vocabulary was designed to transcend the realm of the arts and give a national identity to this population undergoing transition. We take a closer look at the artworks produced during this turbulent time in Mexican history, considering the ways in which visual art created a unified Mexican aesthetic. Workers Reading El Machete, c.1929 Platinum print, 7.92 x 10.46 cm | © Throckmorton Fine Art Inc., New York
Born in 1907, renowned Mexican painter and political activist Frida Kahlo would say that she was born the year the Mexican Revolution started. This national rebellion proved such an integral part of the artist’s life and work that she correlated her entrance into the world with the moment in which the Mexican people began to act in force to restore their land to the hands of its citizens. The revival of a purely Mexican artistic voice in response to revolution is the subject of the 2013 exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts (RCA) in London. Along with Kahlo’s painfully revealing works of art, this retrospective also brought about ardent political imagery in the form of murals by Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiros. As vibrations of communal fervor reached artists and activists across the Atlantic, European figures such as Josef Albers, Edward Burra, and Henri Cartier-Bresson journeyed to Mexico to join in the dynamism. These artists sought, above all, to create a specifically Mexican identity and unity. This cultural renaissance originated with the widespread political dissent felt by the Mexican people at the turn of the century.

How Mexico Formed A United National Identity Through Art
Content: Led jointly by elites who had benefited from industrialization as well as farmers, the unemployed, and those whose land had been seized by the government for agricultural use, the rebellion was scattered and unfocused. Without a philosophy or ideology on which to stand, the ongoing contention resembled more of a labor uprising than a political movement. Nevertheless, centuries of oppression – European and otherwise – had catastrophic results. Diego Rivera Dance in Tehuantepec (Baile in Tehuantepec), 1928, Oil on canvas, 200.7 x 163.8 cm Collection of Clarissa and Edgar Bronfman Jr. Photo Collection of Clarissa and Edgar Brontman Jr. | © Sotheby’s, New York / 2013 Banco de Mexico Diego Rivera Frida Kahlo Museums Trust, Mexico, D.F. / DACS. In a country with an almost 90 percent illiteracy rate, there was a call for artists to depict the desires of the revolution. Born in 1886, Mexican muralist Diego Rivera was elected to adorn the walls of the Escuela Nacional Preparatoria in Mexico City. As the first mural of this kind, the government paid for the artist to travel to Italy and study the techniques of Renaissance and Baroque masters. While he trained in Europe, Rivera’s style was specifically Mexican. Art under Porfirio Diaz had been tinged with a European aesthetic and sentiment, as though celebratory of the Spanish conquest of Aztec land. Rivera’s murals were a notable divergence from the art of this time, and they were hailed by Soviet poet and renegade futurist Vladimir Mayakovsky as the Communist world’s ‘first frescoes.’

Their murals found inspiration in the visual remains of the Catholic conquistadores and the wall paintings of Aztec cultures in an artistic vocabulary that united the complex histories of the Mexican people. The actualization of these scenes through art served a social purpose: to establish a public, unrestricted dialogue.

It was not only the Mexicans, however, who gained artistic impetus from the country’s revolutionary activity. Along with artists like Josef Albers, Edward Burra, Robert Capa and Henri Cartier-Bresson, Surrealist founder André Breton was inspired by the uncanny otherness he found in the country.

Edward Burra El Paseo, c. 1938, Watercolour on paper, 133.3 x 111.8 cm Private collection | © Estate of the artist, c/o Lefevre Fine Art Ltd
Although Kahlo’s dreamlike approach to art took the inward focus of her contemporaries to a more personal level, her flamboyant attire and intimate expression served a political purpose rather than a Surrealist one. Through her costume she rejected the European clothing that had become predominant in Mexico, and her depiction of her own physical trauma served as a reflection of the suffering she saw in her country. Without intending to do so, artists of the Mexican Revolution created a lasting impact on an international scale.

Content: Instead, it is customary to gesture towards things with the thumb as this is seen as a more polite option. In many countries in Africa, pointing is reserved for inanimate objects only, not people. Slurping in Japan
Most societies around the world have rules about table etiquette. For western cultures, noisily consuming food is considered rude. In Japan, however, making slurping sounds while eating has an entirely different meaning. This might have something to do with the fact that in western countries, noodles are properly consumed by twirling them on a spoon before putting them in the mouth. Meanwhile, the Japanese simply slurp up their noodles without contorting them first, an act that is naturally noisier than the former. Making slurping sounds when eating noodles in Japan is a way of indicating that you’re really enjoying them. Some scientists even argue slurping invites air into the palate and actually enhances the noodles’ flavor. Kevin Whipple / | © Culture Trip
Kneeling or lying prostrate as greeting in Nigeria
For members of the Yoruba people, an ethnic group that largely resides in Nigeria, greeting rituals are taken quite seriously.

Content: That would look like a little more than $14 billion today. It was and still is the largest industrial takeover in U.S. history. Carnegie’s philosophy was simple: to spend the first part of his life getting an education; the second part making all the money he could; the third and final part giving it all away for worthwhile causes. He was known as the “father of modern philanthropy,” making him one of the wealthiest historical figures of all time. Carnegie began his philanthropic work by donating $250,000 to build a free library in Pittsburgh. He eventually raised his initial investment to $1 million not only to outfit the main facility but also to create five neighborhood branches.

Public libraries became something of an obsession with Carnegie. He saw them as a vital component of any community, rather than a luxury location for the elite. It’s no wonder he felt that way, thanks to a unique opportunity he was afforded as a young man. He gathered much of his early education in Allegheny native Colonel James Anderson’s private library. There are now 19 Carnegie libraries in the Pittsburgh area and more than 2,500 around the world. In 1900, Carnegie gave $2 million to start a few technical schools in Pittsburgh.

Local discotecas are dedicated to its rhythms
Salsa festivals take place often
Content: Many of these local shops and bars are like going back in time as there are collector items all over the walls; it’s like stepping into a music time capsule. The city was introduced to Cuban rhythms
In the 1940s, music from Cuba began to arrive in Colombia through radio stations in Havana. In the 1950s Mexican musicals were shown daily on TV and featured Cuban swing bands and records from Argentina, Panama and Cuba. These two everyday influences started to make salsa more popular within communities who would listen to the radio habitually. In the ’50s and ’60s, small bars and clubs started to appear in the city and surrounding areas. Dancing and pre-salsa music was already popular within the city, and paved the way for salsa. Salsa became popular among many who saw it as an opportunity to express themselves in a way they never could before. Local Cali Disotecas | © Mariaceita / Flickr
Colombia’s dubious past made way for a salsa future
Everyone knows Colombia’s history with cartels and narcotics, but while these dubious activities are part of the country’s history, they also made salsa popular. In the ’70s and ’80s the influx of money to the city allowed for a large number of bars and clubs to be created.

Avoid These Common Traps
Alternative Models
Content: If you really want to pursue consensus, start early before a decision is urgent and schedule multiple group conversations. Failing to come to a consensus after multiple tries
Despite everyone’s best intentions, you still may fail to agree as a group. It's best to specify both a deadline and a fallback plan. E.g. “If we can’t come to an agreement by 5pm, I will make the decision myself.” Knowing that the decision may be taken away from the group can help people overcome minor disagreements. Defaulting to consensus for every decision
When your team is small, consensus doesn’t take very long. As you grow, you might rely on consensus as a norm without considering the additional time required, the level of compromise it entails, and the autonomy it takes away from specialized teams. As your group grows, check in periodically to see if people are finding this process too cumbersome. Weak facilitation and participation
Even when everyone is given equal voice, one person needs to own the process. Use an experienced facilitator who will help the group keep the negotiation productive and respectful.

Content: Ironically, the more practice we have with identifying solutions to a problem, the more difficult it is to identify alternative or more creative solutions. 3 Though individuals may be aware that their traditional method of solving a problem may be over-used and ineffective, they are typically still tempted to use the same problem-solving approach, due to their familiarity with it. Why it is important
Problem-solving is a regular part of any individual’s life. Functional fixedness impairs an individual’s ability to innovate and creatively tackle problems by limiting their problem-solving capabilities. Individuals who are aware of functional fixedness can work towards avoiding bias and improving their problem-solving abilities. By consciously working to think innovatively, and better tackle problems in their professional and personal lives, they can strive towards unique and innovative solutions. How to avoid it
As with many cognitive biases, functional fixedness can appear when tackling challenges in many different areas of life. Avoiding functional fixedness requires a conscious effort on the individual’s part towards promoting innovative ways of thinking and problem-solving. Abstract the Problem
The first step to overcoming functional fixedness is done by first developing an awareness of the problem and simplifying it. A practice referred to as “uncommitting,” describes simplifying a challenge and distilling it down to the problem’s essential elements.

The first step to overcoming functional fixedness is done by first developing an awareness of the problem and simplifying it. A practice referred to as “uncommitting,” describes simplifying a challenge and distilling it down to the problem’s essential elements. By eliminating the details of the problem, we allow ourselves to think more creatively about the solution. By focusing on identifying the problem, and not judging ideas too early in the problem-solving process, alternative perspectives and possible solutions can be identified. 3
Draw Inspiration from Unexpected Places
Researchers have found that when people look for inspiration from distant domains, they tend to generate more creative solutions to their problems, especially in comparison to those who draw inspiration from more closely related fields. 3 Solutions from the abstract and distantly-related industries provide novel fixes, which tend to deliver creative and successful solutions. Opinions from Different Disciplines
Like drawing inspiration from different disciplines, reaching out to experts in various fields also serves as a solution to avoiding functional fixedness and better-solving problems within one’s domain.

Title: Before the Women's Rights Movement - Women's Suffrage Movement vs. Women's Rights Movement in the 1800s
Headings:
Women's Rights Movement
"Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors....Remember all men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the Ladies we are determined to format a Rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation."
~Abigail Adams writing to John Adams ( Women's suffrage 12)
Social:
Before the civil war, women were expected to stay home and take care of domestic duties. However, by the late 19th century many families couldn't afford to do this anymore so it became a necessity that women also worked. Public education for women had a slow development but as it came along, private institutions taught women. After the private institutions, women started to teach themselves how to read, if they did not already know. By teaching themselves they were able to accomplish much more. For instance, by making clubs or groups to teach themselves they were also able to sew and accomplish other domestic tasks, as well as studying and learning useful books. These groups also discussed issues and topics of that time. Since women's rights became a popular topic within these groups, it became a goal for the women of America to achieve equal rights rather than just a dream.
Seneca Falls Convention
Economic:
Working in the Industry became a much more popular field, even though men's labor unions excluded them from working. Between one and five American women held jobs at the turn of the century and 25% of those women worked in manufacturing. The garment trade was one of the most popular and about half of all women working in industries worked in that field. Although it didn't require as much skill, they only got paid half of what men did because people assumed the working women were single and only had to provide for themselves, whereas men needed to provide for their whole family. Many non-educated women worked on the farms doing domestic tasks or went to cities in search for jobs there such as maids or dish washers. One of the greatest influences leading to the vocal demands for change was the economic success in the country in this time. This created a bigger need for more educated women so that they could work. As industrial factories started to expand all around America, so did job opportunities for women. There also started to become a higher demand for teachers which was one of the few jobs that women could do. Due to this demand, women needed to be well educated so that they could be educated enough to teach the future generations.
Political:
Although women did not have any political rights, they still became actively involved in the abolitionist movement. Women became frustrated that they did not have any political say nor the right to vote. In May, 1838 the Anti-Slavery Convention of Women, started much controversy because many people felt strongly that women shouldn't have a political say. People were so angered that women were trying to have a say in society that people created angry mobs and burned down the building. Also, at the World Anti-Slavery Conference in 1840, women were not allowed to sit with men and debate over the issues discussed because of their gender. This caused a huge amount of frustration for women because they knew it was unfair that they were not allowed to fight for what they believed in because of their sex . "Every high and every holy motive urges us forward, and we dare not refuse to obey" ( Women's Suffrage 41). In Susan T. Smith's address at the convention, she counteracts all of the doubts and concerns of what that meeting had to accomplish. She clears up what women are actually trying to accomplish, which is just to be treated equally next to their fellow male citizens. Not to be considered superior. At the convention, there was some doubt about what the women were actually trying to fight for. Some thought that that they were trying to be seen as superior to men. However, all they really wanted was to be considered equal to men.

HOW TO MAKE MOONSHINE MASH WITH A HOMEMADE STILL
If you’re someone who like to partake in a nice glass of vodka, whisky, bourbon, moonshine, or any distilled spirit you know that it is made in a still and that’s about it. Unless you yourself are a distiller then you’re just glad what your drinking taste great! Have you ever heard the word mash before, no not the T.V. show, it is the end product of mashing. Mashing is one of the most important part in the distilling process. In brewing and distilling, mashing is the process of combining a mix of milled grain typically malted barley with grains such as corn, sorghum, rye or wheat with water, and heating this mixture. Mashing allows the enzymes in the malt to break down the starch in the grain into sugars, typically maltose to create a malty liquid called wort. Mashing involves pauses at certain temperatures (notably 45–62–73 °C or 113–144–163 °F), and takes place in a "mash tun" which is an insulated brewing vessel with a false bottom. The end product of mashing is called a mash.

The end product of mashing is called a mash. There are different kinds of mashing such as Infusion mashing and Decoction mashing. These are the two main mashing techniques. In infusion mashing the mash is heated directly to go from rest temperature to rest temperature. Some infusion mashes achieve temperature changes by adding hot water. Decoction mashing is where a proportion of the grains are boiled and then returned to the mash, raising the temperature.

Content: Communication technology in the hospital is changing nursing practice
Electronic clinical observations have been rolled out on a massive scale in hospitals around the world. These can take the form of individual patient monitors, which record and store all data that was traditionally recorded on paper. These include regular blood pressure readings, heart rate, respiration rate, and temperature. This data can be accessed by remote hand-held devices carried by the healthcare team. With built-in protocols for alerting members of the team when results are out of a set range, the right people can converge on a sick patient in seconds. [ mfn]Peters M, Moore P (2018) Using quality improvement methodology to implement an electronic pediatric early warning system (PEWS) across Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital (GOSH) Archives of Disease in Childhood [/mfn] This technology also allows clinicians to prioritize their workload and request assistance from specific services at the push of a button or the tap of a screen. The use of remote patient monitoring devices in hospitals can mean getting the right help for your patients without even leaving their side.

Title: Elements of Drama: Conflict | The Drama Teacher
Headings: Elements of Drama: Conflict
Elements of Drama: Conflict
Content: Here is a useful descriptor for conflict I helped write for my state curriculum authority a few years ago: Conflict generally occurs when a character cannot achieve an objective due to an obstacle. This obstacle may be internal or external – between characters or between characters and their environment. Conflict can be shown in a variety of ways, for example through physical, verbal or psychological means. Conflict can be embedded in the structure of the drama (Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority, Drama Study Design, p.10)
As stage plays begin their life as unperformed literature, let us examine the nature of conflict from a literary perspective. Daily Writing Tips outlines seven types of narrative conflict: Person vs. Fate/God
Person vs. Self
Person vs. Person
Person vs Society
Person vs. Nature
Person vs. Supernatural
Person vs. Technology
Here, Mark Nichol argues every work of literature is based on at least one of the above conflicts. Stage plays should be no different. The types of conflict listed above can be divided into internal and external conflict: Internal Conflict
Person vs Self
External Conflict
Person vs. Fate/God
Person vs. Person
Person vs Society
Person vs. Nature
Person vs. Supernatural
Person vs. Technology
Inner conflict usually sees troubled characters (often the play’s protagonist) suffering from inner turmoil.

Elements of Drama: Conflict
Content: Shakespeare’s Hamlet is a fine example. Literary and theatrical conventions of the day enabled the audience easy access to a character’s thoughts. It is no accident literature’s most famous soliloquy “To be, or not to be…” comes from this very play. External conflict can be between two or more characters and can be non-verbal (psychological), verbal or physical. But some of the theatre’s greatest plays see characters either at odds with their environment or experiencing conflict with the world in which they live. These plays that present us with characters in conflict with society and/or nature often show us conflict on a grander scale than simply characters conflicting against each other. Yet on its simplest level, external conflict is usually represented by a character whose objectives in the plot are impeded by the actions of another (opposing) character. This type of conflict clearly illustrates the needs and desires of different characters in a play, and without it the drama would be listless. Often (but not always) these characters are the play’s protagonist and antagonist. Conflict in a theatrical performance often differs from tension in that it is normally a more permanent part of the structure of the play, as opposed to a brief moment of suspense that is more transient.

Conflict in a theatrical performance often differs from tension in that it is normally a more permanent part of the structure of the play, as opposed to a brief moment of suspense that is more transient. When students in a high school drama class are developing a performance, this usually requires the essential ingredient of conflict. This applies to student works created by both improvising and scripting. In certain circumstances, dramatic works are developed in the classroom that are snippets, workshop presentations etc created for a very specific purpose. These may not require conflict. But as a golden rule, students of theatre should always remember George Bernard Shaw’s famous quote “No conflict, no drama”.

Overseas travel is, unfortunately often associated with excessive charges and high roaming rates. This is especially true in Europe, where you encounter a large number of different carriers as you travel across individual regions. This is where an international SIM card will help you immensely, especially when used with the dual SIM phones. Editor’s Choice
Traveling to Europe and looking for phone and data connections? We recommend the Orange Holiday Europe prepaid international Sim card. Works in 30 of the largest countries in Europe. More Info
Purchasing a local SIM card may be a good solution for some instances, but certainly not for traveling across Europe.

You will quickly get tired of constantly changing your SIM card, and the people you try to stay in contact with will have to play a guessing game when determining which number they should use to contact you. A much better alternative is to purchase an international SIM card that you can use in all of the countries that you will be visiting, thus keeping the same number and never worrying about extra charges. Even though there are many international SIM card providers, one stands out as the best choice for traveling in Europe. We are talking, of course, about Mobal and their new Europe Plus SIM.

Easily the best SIM card that you can buy for any sort of European travel, they provide tourists 4G LTE data across 30 popular European destinations. You’ll get fast, reliable data almost anywhere in Europe, but particularly around the larger cities, just like in the US. Orange’s Holiday SIM has a whole 10GB of data to use, 1,000 SMS messages, and two hours of talk time. That’s way different than many local and international SIM cards since many European options are going the data-only route. The card only lasts 14 days after activation, but you can call them up or go online to add more days if you decide to extend your stay.

The same is also true for text messages that you send to your loved ones and business partners. Outgoing call rates cannot rival local providers, but 30¢ per minute in all countries beats roaming, and the added convenience tips the scale in Mobal’s favor.

Cellhire is another excellent choice that will enable any GSM phone — think the phone’s from company’s like AT&T and T-Mobile — to use data in Europe during your travels. It gives you fast 4G data roaming speeds in thirty different European countries. Your first purchase will provide you with 4GB of total data to use that is only valid for 30 days. The significant downside here is that once you use it up or that thirty days is over, you are unable to add more — you’ll have to buy a completely separate SIM to use Cellhire again.

This one will provide you with a 1GB mobile data credit that stays valid for 1 year; however, once you use it up, Keepgo does allow you to add more easily — this isn’t a throwaway SIM like the Cellhire.

Content: This card works in most EU countries — there are very few that aren’t supported. Keepgo Global Lifetime SIM Card
And finally, we’re looking at Keepgo’s Global Lifetime SIM card. Their goal is to give you data, phone, and text wherever you go in the world, including many of the European nations. This one will provide you with a 1GB mobile data credit that stays valid for 1 year; however, once you use it up, Keepgo does allow you to add more easily — this isn’t a throwaway SIM like the Cellhire. Now, it can be a throwaway — as the SIM expires after a year. However, with each data refill, the validity of the data or plan is extended an additional year, so you could keep this one SIM card going for as long as you want. This one does come with some SIM adapters to make sure the SIM card is compatible with all phone types — i.e., regular SIM sizes, nano-SIM, etc. Keep in mind that Keepgo’s SIM cards only work on GSM phones. What about International Cell Phones?

What about International Cell Phones? Most unlocked GSM phones will work with international sim cards. The top-tiered phones, such as the newer generation iPhones and unlocked Samsung Galaxy phones, will work. T-Mobile phones generally are also unlocked, and if for some reason your T-Mobile phone is locked, simply ask them to open it for you, it will be done without question. Unless you have an iPhone, CDMA phones do not work well with international sim cards, so if you have a phone from Verizon Wireless, your best bet is to try to get Verizon to unlock the phone for you, or try one of these cheap global gsm phones below.

When you order your international SIM card, you have to wait 2-5 days before you receive it in your mail. Alternatively, you can pay for a priority shipping option and have it in your mailbox next business day by 10:30 am. The next thing that you need to do is to activate the SIM card via the included activation link and leave for your European adventure. Each month of use is billed individually, which means that you never pay for something that you won’t use.

What Is The Best FPV Cameras? One question that gets asked a lot by many pilots getting into the hobby of drone raving is “why do most racing drones have two cameras installed?” The cameras being referred to are the FPV and HD cameras, and the question seeks to understand why pro pilots run both cameras simultaneously. Many people wonder why a GoPro camera isn’t good enough to provide the footage necessary to fly a racing drone. The easy answer to the question above is that FPV cameras serve a completely different purpose in comparison to an HD camera. While FPV cameras are designed to provide a video feed with low light sensitivity and latency, HD cameras are required to record digital HD video with full-color representation. To answer the question of “why two cameras?” there are simply no cameras on the market that is capable of combining both FPV and HD purposes. What Is An FPV Camera? With regards to drones, an FPV camera is a small camera that is attached to the front of a drone, which gives the pilot a first-person view of the drone flight as though they were in the cockpit of a jet.

It seems like time is the biggest problem for us all, whether it has to do with accomplishing everything at work or cooking healthy meals. But a nutritious diet should not be another stressor in your very busy life; it should help you relieve stress. Try setting aside one hour on your weekends to do a little bit of prep, whether it’s cooking a whole meal to keep for leftovers or chopping veggies and prepping a grain like quinoa. You can also pre-package smoothie ingredients into individual bags (all you have to do in the morning is throw them in a blender and add a liquid of choice). Likewise, try cooking a batch of soup ahead of time and freeze in single-serve containers to heat up throughout the week. Not a fan of meal prep or leftovers?

Content: I’m always on-the-go. Never have time to eat? The fix: plan ahead. Smoothies and snacks like hard-boiled eggs, nuts, or even hummus and veggies are easy to pack up and take with you wherever you go. But just an FYI, mealtimes should be sacred; breakfast, lunch, and dinner serve as a reminder that we need to slow down and stay present. Not having time to eat is a sign you need to make time, rather than skip meals or grab something less nutritious out of convenience. If planning ahead isn’t your strong suit, stop by a nearby grocery store for healthy snacks, or opt for an egg wrap instead of a blueberry muffin if you’re eating out. No matter what works for you, remember that the body needs nourishment to keep up with your busy lifestyle, and nothing is more worthy of your time and energy than your health.

Rather than becoming disillusioned, here are eight tips to get involved with politics so that you — yes, you — can make a difference. 1. Learn Who Your Elected Officials Are

I’ll be the first to admit it: for a long time, I had no idea who held office in my city. It seemed irrelevant since I didn’t work in government or plan on running for mayor someday. That stance, of course, was wildly privileged and naive of me — especially because it literally takes about five minutes to learn who represents you as an elected official. Without minimizing the importance of the presidential office itself, remember that state and local elected officials frequently function as the people who make decisions regarding issues that affect our day-to-day lives. For example, your elected officials should be focused on things like equal access to essential public services, fair governmental priorities and policies, city hall policies, school district choices, and public health measures. ( And this is by no means a comprehensive list!)

Their job is to listen to you, so reach out frequently and respectfully to voice your opinions. Tip: according to this now-viral advice by former Congressional staff member Emily Ellsworth, skip the social media comments, and stick to penning a letter, writing an email, and picking up the phone to ensure your point of view is heard.

Not exactly sure what to say the first time around? Introduce yourself as a constituent, explain what you’d like to hear or see from them as an elected official, and don’t be afraid to ask questions or request a response. Not all offices function the same way, but if you request a response, the odds of your comment moving past a general staffer to your Congresswoman or Congressman are higher. 3. Attend Town Hall Meetings
Town hall meetings are notoriously under-attended, but they also happen to be a chance to speak directly to your local legislators and even members of Congress.

Attend Town Hall Meetings
Town hall meetings are notoriously under-attended, but they also happen to be a chance to speak directly to your local legislators and even members of Congress.

Ever heard the phrase “lesser of two evils”? Many of us are hungry for more political party options than what our current limited system provides. We can’t make that change overnight, of course, but getting involved in party affairs from a grassroots stance is a tiny step toward building out more choices all the way down both sides of the ballot. Party affiliation is most commonly linked to who you voted for during primary elections;

Content: Support takes shape in numerous ways: volunteer your time and energy, raise funds, donate your hard-earned cash, lobby elected officials, sign petitions, or write letters to raise awareness. And last but definitely not least: volunteer! Campaigns and nonprofits are always looking for hands to help knock on doors and make phone calls, especially during an election season. P.S. You’re never too old or young to be a first-time volunteer for an issue or candidate. And if there’s not an organization set up to support your exact cause, take the initiative and start one. 7. Do Your Research
We live in an age where vast multitudes of information lay at our fingertips, and yet, fake news has never been more prominent. This is due partly to human nature — and social media algorithms — which tend to steer us toward information that reinforces what we already believe to be true.

This is due partly to human nature — and social media algorithms — which tend to steer us toward information that reinforces what we already believe to be true. This echo chamber prevents us from hearing and understanding perspectives or arguments that run counter to our beliefs and opinions. The result? Unless we make a continual, dedicated effort to read, hear, and listen to people and media outside of our own bubbles, we lack opportunities to challenge long-held stances, concepts, or ideas, which creates even more of a divide. ( It doesn’t help that many of today’s politicians seem to view honesty as optional, which makes us trust them less and less. That’s another issue altogether.)

How Social Media Has Changed the Game in the Fashion Industry
In the past decade alone, social media has managed to quickly revolutionize virtually every industry in the world, and fashion and fashion journalism are certainly no exceptions. Even the world’s largest news agencies have had to transform the way their readers digest news, adding social media platforms to the forefront of their news deliveries. In the fashion world, social media has brought connectedness, innovation, and diversity to the industry. Instagram, for example, functions as a live magazine, always updating itself with the best, most current trends while allowing users to participate in fashion rather than just watch from afar. Social media has done a number of incredible things for the fashion industry, including creating fashion icons, heavily influencing fashion trends, and ultimately reforming the way people go about seeking jobs in the field. How Social Media Creates Fashion Icons
Traditionally, before social media, becoming a fashion icon was next to impossible. Someone in the fashion industry had to see you and think you were incredible. They had to build your brand from scratch. Unless you had fame from other experiences, your journey entailed audition after audition, deal after deal, catwalk after catwalk, and after all of which you would still only have the slightest chance of becoming a recognizable fashion figure. But social media has changed the game.

What Social Media Means for Jobs in the Fashion Industry
Content: Instead of waiting for someone to discover them, users are getting themselves discovered. With new tools like Instagram, users are building their own brands and finding their own fans and followers. Instagram has given average people exposure to opportunities that they otherwise would not have. In 2015, Rihanna recruited a person to star in her music video by sending her a direct message saying that she liked h er style. New York retail agencies and brands are able to easily find self-made Instagram models that match their brand and have large followings to promote their products. Social media has allowed users to build their own online fashion communities which inevitably creates leaders of communities, and some of those communities are so large and vast that their leaders have become recognizable icons in the fashion industry. Social Media’s Influence on Fashion
Social media has influenced the fashion industry more than any other industry. For the most part, fashion used to be a two-dimensional, one-sided industry. Brands put their clothing in magazines and users consumed ideas and inspiration by flipping through the pages. Models walked in fashion shows, and users hoped and prayed that part of it would be covered on television somewhere so they could watch.

What Social Media Means for Jobs in the Fashion Industry
Content: Celebrity Endorsements
In times before social media, celebrity endorsements ultimately happened in a few limited ways: commercials, interviews, and public stunts. All very effective, but limited nonetheless. These days, celebrities are able to endorse products on their Facebook pages, Instagram profiles, and Snapchat stories. And boy, oh boy, do users gobble it up. The fashion industry knows that if they want to sell something fast, they don’t make a broadcast television commercial, they get a Kardashian to tweet about it ASAP. Tagging Brands
Remember when you would watch a delicious food commercial and wish that you could have the food instantly? Social media has brought us closer to this idea. On Instagram, users often tag the brands that they are wearing so that other users can find it and order it with ease from retail agencies in NYC and stores all over the world. Diversity
More than anything, social media has brought diversity to the industry.

Title: Invisible Power and Privilege | The Fearless Heart
Headings: Invisible Power and Privilege
Invisible Power and Privilege
Share this:
Content: It’s easy to assume that everyone would have the same access, or to not even think about it at all. Even when our privilege provides us direct individual advantage at the direct expense of another individual, the direct relationship may be hidden under socially sanctioned norms such as individual merit which replace the more explicit forms of the past. A particularly acute example of such relationships occurs both in the educational system and in the workplace. And so it is that these forms of privilege are largely invisible to those of us who have them unless we take proactive action to learn about them. Those without such access, on the other hand, are usually acutely aware of their lack of access. This creates a gap in experience which is usually excruciating for members of both groups. Privilege and Group Dynamics
Considering how invisible privilege can be to those who have it, and yet how apparent to those who don’t, it is no surprise that creating truly diverse groups and organizations is the exception rather than the norm. Here’s one classic form this struggle takes. Whenever I am in any group in which the question of diversity arises there will almost invariably be a well-meaning white person who will express some version of “Why can’t we all just get along and forget our differences. We’re all human, after all, aren’t we?”

We’re all human, after all, aren’t we?” The gap between this experience and the pervasive, acute, and unending barrage of discrimination, lack of access to material resources, and encounters with the authorities takes more effort to bridge than most people have energy for, especially those who are already worn out by such ongoing challenge of just making it through the day every day. Even if nothing gets said, the gap in experience remains enormous, all the while being known to one group and not to the other. In addition to the gap in experience in terms of understanding what happens, the different training that different groups receive, itself part of the gap in access to resources, recreates societal dynamics within the group. White people, men, and people with class privilege are more likely to speak in groups and to have their opinions taken seriously than people of color, women, or lower class people, respectively. As one particularly painful example, when a jury is selected, the likeliest person to be chosen as foreman, and I use that word in this way deliberately, is the white male with the highest education in the room.

We clearly don’t mean to dominate or take away from others’ access to power, to choice, to participation in decisions, to shaping the vision and direction of a group. And yet we do, without knowing we do it. Different access to resources makes for different life experiences, which makes for different perspectives, sometimes even about reality or the nature of life. This is part of why the conversation can get so hard. In many situations the differences in perspective are so deep that we see and hear completely different realities, even before the inevitable process of interpretation and assigning meaning to what we observe begins.

What Causes Human Genetic Disorders?
Content: These genetic codes are passed down from generation to generation, but over time, they can develop mutations and cause the entire DNA sequence to undergo a change. This is where genetic disorders are created. These mutations can develop in a person in two different ways. One is when they inherit these alterations from their parents. But wouldn’t the parents also have the disorder? That may be the case, but there is something called a recessive gene, which is a part of the genetic makeup but lays dormant due to a dominant gene. People who have a recessive genetic disorder won’t display any symptoms and are referred to as carriers. If a carrier has a child with another carrier, then the child is at an increased risk of being afflicted by the disorder. As a result, it is not unusual for two perfectly healthy adults to create a child who suffers from a genetic disorder. Commonly inherited genetic disorders include sickle cell anemia and Huntington’s disease.

Yes, all 357 magnum caliber revolvers, rifles and single shot handgun (rifles too) will work perfectly with 38 specials. Only 357 guns which will not work with 38 specials are pistols. Only IMI Desert Eagle and Coonan pistols come to mind right now. Actually, even in these pistols 38 specials will fire but will not cycle the action to feed the next round. However, Coonan used to come with spare recoil spring for use with 38 specials (I don't remember seeing such spring for Desert Eagle). taco

How to eliminate cigarette smells and stains from walls
Content: Simple Green helps reduce the grime, and importantly adds a fresh clean scent to make the job a bit more pleasant. Next, you will take the cleaning solution and with the sponge (or a rag), wipe it on and clean the wall. You will usually need to scrub the walls. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Then, wipe it off with a 2nd clean sponge with clean warm water. Note: You will need to clean and wring the sponge in warm water often, so that it remains clean. Do one whole section at a time. Then move on to the next section. The thing that makes this tricky and time consuming is that you will need to do the top portions on the ladder, and you may need to keep moving the ladder.

Content: Who founded Massachusetts in America? Why? June 15, 2017
John Winthrop & the Puritans Founded the Self-Governing Colony of Massachusetts
Beginning in 1629, a decade after the first Pilgrims arrived in North America, a large group of English Puritans began a “great migration” to America. The Puritans shared many of the Pilgrims’ radically reformed religious and political views, and they did not find a favorable environment for their views and their hopes for the church in England. Like the Pilgrims, they desired religious freedom and self-government. In 1629, King Charles in England granted the Puritans a royal charter to plant the colony of Massachusetts Bay in America. The charter granted authority to the Massachusetts Bay Company, a commercial venture overseen by Puritans, to govern the colony. The Puritans—about 700 to 1000 on eleven ships—set sail to America and arrived in Massachusetts, near Plymouth, in 1630. The Puritans founded the colony of Massachusetts which would eventually absorb the Pilgrims’ colony of Plymouth. John Winthrop and the Puritans
In a distinctive move, the Puritans brought their charter with them to America.

In a distinctive move, the Puritans brought their charter with them to America. This move assured those in the company who came overseas that they would manage the company themselves. In bringing along their charter, the Puritans contributed to the creation of a self-governing colony because the charter became the basis for the colony’s first laws. Since the British Crown did not closely supervise activities in America, but allowed for self-government through local governors, the colony operated independently of England. Puritan John Winthrop, a lawyer with strong beliefs, led this first group of Puritans who migrated to America. During his trip on the vessel Arbella, Winthrop delivered his famous 1630 sermon, A Model of Christian Charity, exhorting the Puritans to fulfill their purpose to become a “city on a hill”—a godly example of a colony for the world to see.

Challenges Immigrants Faced During the 20th Century
Polish immigrants came to the United States as early as the last decades of the previous century to the point that, by 1910, there were close to a million Polish immigrants in the United States. Many of them found work in the mines but most encountered jobs with low wages and suffered anti-immigrant attacks. After World War I, Congress passed new anti-immigrant restrictions. Quotas for some countries were established and others were not allowed any immigrants to come over. But some immigrant groups did make some inroads into American society to the point where they began to proudly produce presidential candidates and other citizens. During World War II, the United States experienced another wave of racially-fueled hysteria following the Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor that ultimately led to Japanese-American citizens being relocated to internment camps Under Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066. This order was not exclusive to first-generation Japanese immigrants, but included second- and third-generation immigrants, many of whom had never been to Japan or even knew how to speak Japanese.

Wendy Stokes
Content: After World War I, Congress passed new anti-immigrant restrictions. Quotas for some countries were established and others were not allowed any immigrants to come over. But some immigrant groups did make some inroads into American society to the point where they began to proudly produce presidential candidates and other citizens. During World War II, the United States experienced another wave of racially-fueled hysteria following the Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor that ultimately led to Japanese-American citizens being relocated to internment camps Under Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066. This order was not exclusive to first-generation Japanese immigrants, but included second- and third-generation immigrants, many of whom had never been to Japan or even knew how to speak Japanese. However, their “otherness” led to a shameful period in American history stemming from the anti-immigrant sentiment that has always been present in the US. Source: Dialogue on Europe
Challenges Immigrants Face Now
Moving to a new country carries an extensive list of difficulties. Not only has securing a visa become very complicated, immigrants into the United States today face challenges that range from learning to speak the language to helping their children succeed in school. Finding good jobs and a place to live represent challenges on their own, and gaining a sense of belonging and understanding the culture and customs of the country represents further hardships for new immigrants that are looking to call this country home.

« Ranch Dressing Mix
Content: For example ¼ cup buttermilk powder to 1 cup water. My absolute favorite way to use it is in a DIY Ranch Dressing Mix. You can also add a scoopful to just about any baked good to make it that much tastier like light and fluffy Shortening Biscuits. Bump up the flavor of fried chicken dredge, by adding 1 tablespoon buttermilk powder to 1 cup flour. Dehydrate the liquid either in the oven or food dehydrator, then process the pieces into a fine powder. How to Dry it
Drying, buttermilk is extremely easy and will really save you from having to discard it again. You can use a food dehydrator if you have one, or your oven if you don't. To use the oven method, lay parchment paper on a baking sheet and pour 1-2 cups of buttermilk over it and spread evenly. Don't go too thick, you want it about 2 millimeters thick so that it can easily dry. Thicker, and you risk browning the edges in an attempt to fully dehydrate it.

Title: Globalization and Inequality: Sharing Wealth One of Greatest Challenges
Headings: Globalization and Inequality: Sharing Wealth One of Society’s Greatest Challenges
Globalization and Inequality: Sharing Wealth One of Society’s Greatest Challenges
Why is Inequality Increasing?
Changing Employment
Regional Inequality
William R. Hauk
Content: The top 1 percent of households in the U.S. earned less than 10 percent of the total national income in 1980 but now earn over 20 percent. Income gains among the richest 0.01 percent of households are even more dramatic. The wage premium from having a college degree has also increased significantly during the same time. The specter of a dynamic economy where the average income grows while those within the middle to lower economic classes see their standard of living stagnate has caused an increased focus on income inequality. However, the sources of this increasing inequality are considerably more disputed. Two phenomena, also prominent in the last few decades, are typically cited: globalization and technological change. Why is Inequality Increasing? Globalization can increase wage inequality in a relatively rich country by increasing the imports of manufactured goods using predominantly low-skilled labor from developing countries. Conversely, it opens more opportunities for exports in high-tech firms that use more high-skilled labor.

Globalization can increase wage inequality in a relatively rich country by increasing the imports of manufactured goods using predominantly low-skilled labor from developing countries. Conversely, it opens more opportunities for exports in high-tech firms that use more high-skilled labor. These two forces can widen the wage gap between high-skilled and low-skilled workers. Technological change can also potentially increase wage inequality. Fewer secretaries, typists, or assembly-line workers are needed if computers and automation replace them in the production process. Conversely, newer technology can increase the demand for the services of, say, engineers who can service those machines. While the two explanations are not mutually exclusive, for a long time, many economists tended to favor the technological explanation.

If the trade was the stronger component of the story, then we would expect high-skill intensive industries to get bigger, while less-skill intensive industries got smaller. High-tech industries would expand as they serviced export markets. Older manufacturing industries, such as textiles, would disappear in the face of imports. Changing Employment
While this story does explain some of what has happened to the U.S. economy, the evidence is that employment in the U.S. has changed more within sectors than across sectors. Instead of some sectors employing more workers while others employed less, each sector tended to change the composition of their workforce in the direction of more skilled workers.

Why is Inequality Increasing?
Changing Employment
Regional Inequality
William R. Hauk
Content: The upshot of this literature is that international trade presents more opportunities for the most productive firms in an industry. As trade barriers fall, high-productivity firms will be best positioned to take advantage of markets overseas. However, less-productive firms will likely be crowded out of an industry due to the expansion of their more productive competitors as well as imports. As a practical matter, “high-productivity” firms typically have disproportionately more high-skilled workers and high-tech capital than less productive firms. Thus, while an industry does not necessarily need a change in its overall level of employment, exposure to international trade might change the composition of its employment. More trade tends to benefit the firms that employ the most high-skilled workers while hurting their less-skilled counterparts. Regional Inequality
Also receiving attention in recent research is the extent to which some of these trade-induced changes can create regional inequality. Pioneering work by economists David Autor, David Dorn, and Gordon Hanson has shown that increased exposure to trade with China created large and persistent shocks to areas of the United States where import-competing firms were located. In short, the relevant question does not seem to be whether globalization or technological change is increasing income inequality in the United States. They seem to be complementary, rather than competing explanations.

Globalization and technological change both pose great opportunities for the world economy. Both have helped lead to historical reductions in global poverty. However, the by-product is an economy that has become increasingly divided into winners and losers from this process. How we share this wealth will be one of our greatest challenges as a society in the coming years.

Content: Then dredge the pork in the flour, dip in the lightly beaten eggs, and coat in the bread crumbs. Set the breaded chops aside. In a large pan, over medium heat, cook the bacon until it just begins to get crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon, leaving the rendered fat in the pan. Set the bacon aside. Add the mushrooms to the bacon fat remaining in the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes over medium heat until the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned. Use a slotted spoon to remove the mushrooms and set aside. Add 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil to the bacon fat remaining in the pan, so that you have a very thin, even layer of bacon fat/oil. Add the breaded pork cutlets and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, over medium heat, until lightly browned and cooked through. Cook in batches, adding more oil between each batch, if necessary.

Content: A 2020 report by McKinsey & Company found that companies with more than 30 percent women executives were more likely to outperform companies with fewer women in leadership. Some businesses, such as Procter & Gamble Company (P&G), have created gender equality initiatives. In 2017 P&G launched its #WeSeeEqual campaign in 2017 to advocate for gender equality in workplaces. The company has prioritized achieving a fifty-fifty gender representation within its workforce. Other companies, such as IBM, have prioritized making the workplace more accessible for people with disabilities. In 2017 IBM launched the Ignite ASD program, which is a training and employment placement program for people with autism spectrum disorders. CHALLENGES OF CREATING A DIVERSE WORKPLACE
Workplace diversity also involves challenges and potential pitfalls. Diverse workforces and teams necessarily bring people together who have differing communication styles, interpersonal skills, and concepts of office etiquette. Without diversity training to help increase cultural awareness and understanding, such teams can struggle to communicate effectively and develop functional group dynamics. Also Read:

Beat Stress in College
Content: The American Psychological Association reports 45% of students seeking help in college are doing so because of stress. Anxiety and depression are also among the top reasons and often are related to their stressors. There are at least five major areas of stress in a college student’s life. These are discussed below in more detail. Financial Stress
Every student has concerns about finances. They worry about how they will pay for classes, how they will repay loans, and how they will pay for housing and necessities while living on very little income. Even those students who have parents covering the full cost of college stress over money. Most students do not want to burden their parents with the cost of college, but they know they need financial help. This can lead to the student feeling guilty about spending their parents’ money, so they take out more financial aid. Students graduate from college with a loan debt from $25,000 to $125,000 or more.

Blog, Healthy Living, Heart Disease Facts
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for all Americans, but certain minority groups face a greater risk than others. Deaths from heart disease are higher in black Americans than in white Americans and other ethnic groups, and heart disease develops at a younger age in African Americans. Nearly 48% of African American women and 44% of African American men have some form of heart disease. Research has found that even among the growing middle- and upper-class black community, the rate of heart disease among black Americans is still greater than in white Americans who have a comparable socioeconomic status. The most common conditions that increase the risk of heart disease and stroke among black Americans are high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes. High Blood Pressure
Blood pressure measures the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries. High blood pressure means your heart is pumping harder than it should. High blood pressure puts your arteries under constant stress and speeds up arteriosclerosis, a condition that makes your arteries get harder, narrower, and clogged with fatty plaque. Also known as hypertension, high blood pressure increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. The prevalence of high blood pressure in African Americans is the highest in the world.

Blood Pressure
Content: Not only is high blood pressure more severe in blacks than whites, it also develops earlier in life. High blood pressure is often referred to as the silent killer, as the heart can become permanently damaged before any symptoms are apparent. Fortunately, high blood pressure can be easily detected and controlled through medications, a healthy diet and exercise. Obesity
The more you weigh, the more blood you need to supply oxygen and nutrients to your tissues. As the volume of blood circulated through your blood vessels increases, so does the pressure on your artery walls. African Americans are disproportionately affected by obesity. Among non-Hispanic blacks age 20 and older, 63% of men and 77% of women are overweight or obese. Among African American children aged 2 to 19 years old, 20% are obese. Diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic condition associated with abnormally high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood. Diabetes also is an important factor in accelerating the hardening and narrowing of the arteries (atherosclerosis), which leads to strokes, coronary heart disease, and other large blood vessel diseases.
