Content: Therefore, the computers of a modern fighter jet keep calculating the “Stall Speed” continuously during the flight. This is done by monitoring the angle of attack, the altitude, the attitude, the load coefficient, and several other parameters. This speed is commonly displayed to the pilot as Vmin indication on the speed scale. Although a fighter pilot is constantly aware of the minimum speed limit, there are times when a fighter jet may go below the minimum speed or the angle of attack (AOA) becomes too high. So, what happens when a fighter jet stalls? What happens when a fighter jet stalls? Modern combat aircraft have complicated avionics systems that are aware of all flight parameters and therefore, can predict if the aircraft is going into a stall. The onboard systems warn a pilot through audio chimes and warning as well as visual cautions when they sense that aircraft may enter a stall. The pilot then makes immediate corrections like increasing the thrust or pitching the nose down to avoid a stall and to regain control of the aircraft. Sometimes though, pilots may not be successful in recovering and the aircraft goes into an uncontrolled freefall…

How does a fighter jet go into an uncontrolled freefall? Jet fighter
When an aircraft stalls, it behaves like any other freely falling object under the gravitational force. A fighter jet can sometimes go into a spin while falling towards the ground with an acceleration of ‘g’ which is 9.8ms 2. The good news, however, is that unlike commercial airplanes, fighter jets are highly maneuverable. Hence, despite entering a stall condition a fighter pilot has several options to recover the aircraft. In case the aircraft has done into a spin, the first thing a pilot does, is to counter that spin using ailerons, elevators, and rudder as well a thrust vectoring (if available).

The good news, however, is that unlike commercial airplanes, fighter jets are highly maneuverable.

In case the aircraft has done into a spin, the first thing a pilot does, is to counter that spin using ailerons, elevators, and rudder as well a thrust vectoring (if available). Once the aircraft stops spinning, the fighter pilot can put the nose of the aircraft down and increase thrust to gain airflow over the wings and start generating some lift to recover through this potentially fatal flight condition. We know that a fighter jet entering a stall is inherently risky but there are times when fighter jets are intentionally stalled! What is a controlled aircraft stall and what are the risks? Well, there are several reasons for the controlled and intentional stall of a fighter jet such as testing the aircraft and training pilots to recover from stalls. During the design and testing phase of a fighter jet, the test pilots must ascertain the stall limits.

Well, there are several reasons for the controlled and intentional stall of a fighter jet such as testing the aircraft and training pilots to recover from stalls. During the design and testing phase of a fighter jet, the test pilots must ascertain the stall limits. Therefore, during several flight tests, a fighter jet is intentionally stalled to check its minimum speed requirements for level flight as well as stall recovery techniques. Also, during the training of fighter pilots, it is common that the instructor intentionally puts the plane into a stall so that the trainee can learn recovery techniques that provide much-needed confidence for when is he is faced with these conditions during combat. Putting an aircraft into a stall is not risk-free and requires an elevated level of concentration to regain control over the aircraft. As the stall limits of aircraft for a steady flight are calculated during its design, you might wonder what the typical stall speed is! What are the typical stall speeds of modern fighter jets?

For example, the combat roles of an F-22 ‘Raptor’ and an A-10’Warthog’ are different. It can be assumed that a Close Air Support aircraft like that A-10 ‘Warthog’ requires a lower stall speed for its missions. The stall speeds of modern fighter jets vary greatly depending upon several factors such as the weight of payload and temperature.

Content: stall speed? An aircraft is designed keeping in view its intended combat role (s). For example, the combat roles of an F-22 ‘Raptor’ and an A-10’Warthog’ are different. It can be assumed that a Close Air Support aircraft like that A-10 ‘Warthog’ requires a lower stall speed for its missions. The stall speeds of modern fighter jets vary greatly depending upon several factors such as the weight of payload and temperature. However, in optimum conditions and level flight, we can find that an A-10 ‘Warthog’ stalls around 110-140 knots whereas that of an F-22 ‘Raptor’ is around 160-180 knots. Similarly, an F-16 ‘Falcon’ has stall figures within the same range of 160-180 knots whereas an F-14B ‘Tomcat’ could fly considerably slower due to its sweeping wing design. For slower speed, the F-14B wing could be swept forward to increase lift. When we compare the stall speeds of military planes with general aviation or commercial planes, we can clearly identify that military planes cannot fly as slow as general aviation planes. Let us see why!

When we compare the stall speeds of military planes with general aviation or commercial planes, we can clearly identify that military planes cannot fly as slow as general aviation planes. Let us see why! Why cannot military airplanes fly as slow as general aviation aircraft? Military fighter jets are designed to be super-sonic, agile, and maneuverable, which is evident from their thin swept-back wings and aggressive design. On the other hand, general aviation aircraft such as Cessna 152 and 172 are designed to be stable and economical, which allows them to continue a level flight at lesser airspeeds than a fighter jet. This trade-off happens primarily in the wing design of an aircraft. A military aircraft wing is designed to continue generating lift at supersonic speeds which in turn reduces its ability to generate lift at slower airspeeds.

On the other hand, general aviation aircraft such as Cessna 152 and 172 are designed to be stable and economical, which allows them to continue a level flight at lesser airspeeds than a fighter jet. This trade-off happens primarily in the wing design of an aircraft. A military aircraft wing is designed to continue generating lift at supersonic speeds which in turn reduces its ability to generate lift at slower airspeeds. Of course, this has to do with the small size of the wing relative to the airplane’s weight. In other words, a fighter jet has a high wing loading. For a general aviation plane, the wings are larger relative to the weight of the airplane, and designed to operate within subsonic ranges. Therefore, planes such as Cessna 152 can fly as slow as 48 knots. As a fighter jet cannot slow down considerably during flight, one may think how can it land on relatively shorter runways such as those on an aircraft carrier?

How do military planes land on carriers despite being unable to fly slow? Runways on an aircraft carrier are short, narrow, and mobile, making the approach for landing a tough enough job for a navy pilot. The approach for carrier landings must be near perfect and according to the textbook. Although the speed of the aircraft cannot be reduced drastically in the air, it happens once the tail-hook installed on these aircraft catches on to the arrestor cables installed on the runway of aircraft carriers. These arrestor cables provide the braking necessary to stop the fighter jet without overrunning the carrier runway and falling into the ocean.

The minimum speed or the stall speed of a fighter jet is continuously varying according to different flight parameters. This speed limit is being instantaneously calculated by the aircraft Avionics Systems to be displayed to the pilot or to warn him/her if a stall condition is imminent. Although the stall speed is constantly varying, we can make comparisons, as we did in this article, by assuming level flight with normal flying conditions to see which aircraft is more stable at lower speeds. Although the minimum speed limit is an important characteristic for all aircraft, one thing is certain here, fighter jets are designed to be lightning-fast and agile machines and that is what they do best.

Can Helicopters Fly Above Clouds?
Content: At the combustion stage, we have the combustor which is designed to allow compressed air to move slowly enough to mix with fuel to allow combustion. After combustion, the hot air moves through a turbine and is finally ejected from the exhaust. Besides, the cold air at the high altitude helps the jet engine to burn more fuel without reaching extreme temperatures. The Air Is Cooler
Jet engines work more efficiently at high altitude because the air is cooler. When heated, cool air expands more than warm air. Hence, the larger the expansion of the air when heated, the faster the aircraft moves because it is the expansion of air that drives the turbines of the jet engine which generates more power for lesser fuel burn. Less Drag
Also, at high altitude, there is low drag because the density of air is now lower than it was at a lower altitude. Given the same thrust, this low drag causes the aircraft to fly much faster at high altitude than at low altitude. Likewise, the quantity of energy needed to heat air to adequate temperature is comparable between both altitudes. The amount of power generated at high altitude is higher because the aircraft is flying at a much higher speed here than at low altitude (Power = Thrust x Speed).

Generally, the cooler and less dense air at high altitude the less the fuel to air mixture in the combustor, thereby improving fuel efficiency. In addition, flying at a high altitude provides thermal efficiency for the engine. Flying at a High Altitude Improves Thermal Efficiency
The thermal efficiency cycle of a jet engine is determined by the temperatures of the incoming air and the outgoing air. The lower the temperature of the incoming air, the higher the efficiency. Air at a high altitude has a lower density and lower temperature.

Can Helicopters Fly Above Clouds?
Content: Due to a collection of factors such as the plane’s lighter weight, the type of engine used, and the size of the aircraft, turboprops burn less fuel than jet planes. All these factors come together to create a much more cost-effective method of travel, making their operation costs distinctly lower than other types of aircraft. The hourly cost of a turboprop is around $400-$500 less than a light jet and requires only about half the runway length at the trade-off of only about 300 knots cruise speed. The propellers of a turboprop also serve a great purpose in cost-effectiveness. Because the propellers have a higher disk area than a typical jet plane, they can provide a lot more thrust. Since the engine doesn’t have to work as hard or use as much fuel to make a journey, less fuel is used per mile. Speed and Distance
Propeller planes are an excellent option for short-distance travel as well as low altitude flying. Short-haul flights can be anywhere up to 750 miles, which is around 2 hours of flying time. As a result of this, propeller planes are used worldwide for a multitude of journeys. If you’re going on a short weekend break to a destination not too far from your home, you may find yourself flying on a propeller plane.

Content: Have an open-door policy for students to come and talk to you about any issues, and be empathic and caring when you interact with them at all times: don’t tell them off for not understanding and don’t ridicule their thoughts and ideas. Additionally, you should recognise that some students don’t feel comfortable talking in front of the class. If you do ask them to participate, you could use scaffolding (such as sentence starters) to make them feel safer doing so. However, forced participation is usually unnecessary: it is likely that quieter students have excellent listening skills, and are learning just as much, despite not sharing their own thoughts. 2. More teamwork
Teamwork and group discussions contribute to making the classroom a more comfortable environment. By working in small groups, students are able to share their ideas more easily, and improve their own communication skills. These activities also give them a good opportunity to ask you questions and get feedback on their work, leading to effective communication between you, better understanding of the lesson, and academic benefits.

Equality and diversity are essential components of health and social care. Good equality and diversity practices make sure that the services provided to people are fair and accessible to everyone. They ensure that people are treated as equals, that people get the dignity and respect they deserve and that their differences are celebrated. Equality and diversity shouldn’t be seen as bonus benefits to your health or social care setting but more as integral constituents. What is Equality and Diversity? Equality means ensuring everyone in your setting has equal opportunities, regardless of their abilities, their background or their lifestyle. Diversity means appreciating the differences between people and treating people’s values, beliefs, cultures and lifestyles with respect. Need a Certificate, Fast? We can help you gain a CPD accredited certificate with our range of online Safeguarding Adults Training.

We can help you gain a CPD accredited certificate with our range of online Safeguarding Adults Training. Popular courses, such as Dementia Awareness Training and Information Governance Training, could help you gain a better understanding of your responsibilities in healthcare. In a health and social care environment, it’s important that equality and diversity are at the heart of what you do. Your patients and service users are individual people. You should always strive to ensure that their diverse needs are met and ensure that they have equal access to the services you provide. This is particularly important for adults in need who, because of a disability, illness or their age, are unable to take adequate care of themselves and keep themselves from harm.

What is Effective Questioning & Why Should I Use it in My Classroom? Ellie Collier
December 31, 2018
4 min read
Asking questions is essential for checking pupil understanding and keeping them engaged with the task at hand. It’s crucial to the way students receive and process information and it encourages independent and critical thinking. Statistics show that the average teacher asks between 300 and 400 questions per day. To have the desired effect, these questions need to be effective, well-considered, and challenging. What is Effective Questioning and Why is it Useful? Effective questioning involves using questions in the classroom to open conversations, inspire deeper intellectual thought, and promote student-to-student interaction. Effective questions focus on eliciting the process, i.e. the ‘how’ and ‘why,’ in a student’s response, as opposed to answers which just detail ‘what.’ Using them in the classroom creates opportunities for students to analyse their own thinking, that of their peers, and their work.

Content: Prepare follow-up questions
Prepare a good stock of follow-up questions that you can use if you want a student to expand on their answer. For example: “ What makes you think that?” “ How do you know that?” and “What if …?”. These extend responses and propose a deeper level of thinking. Furthermore, asking questions like “How did you reach that conclusion?” makes students work through their decision-making process. Get pupils to question themselves
At the beginning of a lesson, ask students in groups what they would like to learn more about or if there’s any confusion they need you to clear up. This will help to stimulate their interest and allow you to assess what they already know about a topic.

Every contribution is valuable, even if the answer isn’t necessarily correct. Show appreciation for any answer and offer appropriate praise based on the quality of answer. If a student answers incorrectly, use a follow up question such as “What made you think that?”. This gives students the opportunity to think through their thought process and allows you to address any confusion.

Content: Whatever your reasons, there are definitive steps you can take to protect yourself before discarding any old electronics. Backup Your Hard Drive
The first thing you should do before recycling any old computer or tablet is backup your hard drive. You can either backup your data on an external drive or use the cloud. However, the most secure option is likely an external hard drive that is not directly connected to the internet. Thoroughly Scrub Your Data
Once you are positive that all of your information is safely stored off of your computer, you can begin the process of scrubbing your data from the old machine. While some people may feel that simply deleting files will eliminate data from your computer or tablet’s hard drive, that is not always the case. To protect yourself, there are several things you should do to make sure your files are eliminated from the device. Uninstall programs
Programs that you installed can have personal data stored within the data files. Therefore, when you want to recycle a computer or other electronic device, uninstall any programs you downloaded or added to the system. Unlink Programs
Beyond uninstalling programs, you will want to ensure that the device is no longer linked to any of your accounts.

Content: All personal information should be deleted and removed from the computer. While simply emptying the recycle bin may not permanently erase information, it is a necessary step before performing a factory reset. Restore factory settings
Next, you can restore factory settings. When you do this, everything should be returned to its original operations. Therefore, anything you may have forgotten to delete may have been erased during the factory reset. Wipe all data
The last thing to do is use a hard drive erasing program to overwrite all of your deleted files. This software will ensure that your information cannot be restored after you have gotten rid of the device, meaning it will be safe to donate, sell or recycle. Consider Donating or Reselling
Next, before you recycle computers or tablets, consider donating or reselling them. If your computer is not that old, or if it is still in good working order, then some charities would happily accept the device and provide it to people in need. Also, it is possible to earn a few bucks off of the device if it is not too old and works.

Why Does My Cat Yowl at Night?
When Should I Worry?
Living With the Noise
Content: Cats are crepuscular creatures, however, meaning they are most active at dusk and dawn. Your kitty is programmed to kick into high gear right at the crack of dawn when it may still feel like the middle of the night. She may howl because she wants to eat (the hunting instinct runs deep in cats), or because she really wanted some extra-early playtime. When Should I Worry? As a cat ages, explains Animal Planet, she wants to be around her humans as much as possible. Being separated from her family at night may distress or confuse her. Some age-related issues like diminishing hearing and vision can cause her increased anxiety and yowl-inducing frustration. Your kitty's sleep cycle also can be affected by neurological conditions like cognitive dysfunction, which can occur in cats older than 10 years old. According to the Cornell Feline Health Center, loud midnight meowing out of nowhere can be indicative of dementia. Just like in humans, an elderly cat's sleep-wake cycle may change and cause her to sleep during the day and wander at night.

If your older cat exhibits unusual behavior like staring blankly at walls or refusing to eat or drink, take her to the veterinarian as soon as possible. An otherwise healthy female cat who's not spayed may meow constantly at night, too. Indoor cats can come into heat year round, says the ASPCA. Spaying your cat is the best way to reduce her excessive meowing. Spaying also helps to reduce her risk of illnesses like uterine infections and certain types of cancer.

It's easier said than done, but try to ignore your kitty's demands for nightly snacks or cuddles. Giving in reinforces the behavior and will end up keeping you up at all hours of the night.

Abstract
Healthcare Informatics is defined as “the integration of healthcare sciences, computer science, information science, and cognitive science to assist in the management of healthcare information” (Saba & McCormick, 2015, p. 232). Nursing Informatics is a subset of informatics, specific to the field and the role of the nurse in the healthcare setting. The American Nurses Association (ANA) identified nursing informatics as “a specialty that integrates nursing, science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, and knowledge in nursing practice” (ANA, 2001, p.17). Healthcare and nursing informatics are both vastly growing fields within the medical field and are continuously incorporating new and evolving technology. Both have been around for the past three decades, at least. The technology boom at the turn of the century has helped informatics and information systems further evolve. Enhanced delivery of care, improved health outcomes, and advanced patient education are just a few aspects that have improved. With any new technology or innovation there are implications, some foreseeable and some that come to light after the unveiling of the new process or product: some impacts that are most notable are clinical, managerial, and policy implications. This paper explores the implications, (both constructive and adverse), that are the most notable in today’s healthcare world within the healthcare and nursing informatics fields.

]. The duodenum is the first and the shortest segment of small intestine. It receives partially digested foods from stomach and pancreatic secretions containing digestive enzymes; it plays important roles in digesting foods. The jejunum lies in the midsection of intestine, connecting the duodenum and ileum. It contains circular folds and villi to increase surface area for absorbing small nutrient particles that were enzymatically digested in the duodenum. The absorbed nutrients then enter liver through the enterohepatic circulation. The ileum is the third part of small intestine and contains villi similar to those in jejunum.

Abstract
The purpose of this review is to present findings on the effects of stereotypes of aging on health outcomes related to older adults, such as physical and mental functioning (specifically) and overall well-being and perceived quality of life (more broadly). This review shows that both positive and negative stereotypes of aging can have enabling and constraining effects on the actions, performance, decisions, attitudes, and, consequently, holistic health of an older adult. This review further highlights a variety of limitations in stereotype research in aging contexts, including a lack of qualitative studies focusing on older adult perspectives and the fluctuating definition of what constitutes “good health” during older age. 1. Introduction
Aging is a highly individualized and complex process; yet it continues to be stereotyped, especially in Western cultures. Stereotypes about a particular group play a powerful role in shaping how we think about and interact with individuals, as well as how individuals within the stereotyped group see themselves [ 1

The terms “older adults,” “older people,” “older individuals,” “old age,” “the elderly,” or “seniors” have been used interchangeably in academic literature, policy, and popular press to refer to people who are aged 55 years or older. Therefore, although we adopt the general term “older adults” in this review, we recognize the extensive heterogeneity among this group of people. Given this diversity, it is important to acknowledge from the outset that older adults are unlikely to respond to stereotypes as a single entity. The purpose of this review is to report findings on the effects of stereotypes of aging on health outcomes related to older adults, such as physical and mental functioning (specifically) and overall well-being and perceived quality of life (more broadly). The health outcome of focus in each study, or group of studies, has been italicized as the literature is discussed below. This review first briefly summarizes how stereotypes work to affect health. Then, the literature is organized in terms of the theory and method underpinning each group of studies, with particular focus on stereotype activation experiments.

Solar Eclipse: Dos and don’ts to follow this Surya Grahan
What is an annular solar eclipse?
Myths, facts, dos, don’ts around solar eclipse:
Should one meditate during an eclipse?
Content: This is because of the intensity of the rays of the sun at this time that can damage the cells in the eye causing retinal burns.” “You can look at the phenomenon with eclipse-certified glasses, which are a thousand times darker than regular sunglasses. You can also see projected or reflected images as opposed to looking at the sun directly through the naked eye. You must avoid visual magnifiers such as binoculars and telescopes completely.” Should one meditate during an eclipse? Eclipse is considered a very auspicious time for chanting mantras and meditation. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar on his website says, “The mind is connected with the moon, the body is connected with the Earth and the Sun is connected with both. The time when all three come in alignment is good for spiritual practices.” “...when you chant 108 times during this period it is equivalent to 10,000 times or more! So meditation and chanting are highly recommended during this period,” the spiritual guru adds.

Content: Many businesses thrive upon celebrity worship, especially the entertainment industry, as it ensures them a safe market and good collections. The celebrities are no doubt benefited by it, while the fans usually end up as the losers. Celebrity worship is a one-sided relationship, but in their blind admiration the fans do not recognize it. The earlier they recognize it, the better it will be for them and their future. Reasons for celebrity worship
There are many reasons why people admire, love, worship or become obsessed with famous film stars, singers, sports personalities and other celebrities. Their success and personal charisma are largely responsible for their personal appeal, as people admire those who beat the odds and become successful. Sometimes, it also helps them forget their own failures, problems and anxiety, and draw vicarious pleasure from the success and popularity of their favorite stars. It is like a self-defensive mechanism, which helps them distract their minds from themselves and the reality of their lives and problems. Having a liking or admiration for celebrities and successful people is a normal human behavior. Humans as well as animals tend to form groups for their survival and protection.

However, becoming obsessed with them and developing a mental dependence upon them is a psychological problem that needs to be addressed. Obsessive fans become a problem to themselves and to their families. Sometimes, they need counseling to overcome their attachment. There can be many factors, which bring people together to experience unity and belongingness such as nationality, race, caste, ideology, etc. Sometimes, a celebrity or a leader becomes the unifying factor.

Content: Just as in any other group, fanaticism may surface in such groups, as is the case with many fan groups in India, leading to other problems, including violence, psychopathy, sociopathic behavior and aggression. Studies suggest that there is a correlation between mental health and celebrity worship. People who suffer from depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and other forms of mental disorders are more vulnerable to mild to extreme forms of celebrity obsession. The following are a few important reasons why people are drawn to celebrities and indulge in celebrity worship
1. Admiratio n: This is very common, especially among the young and the adolescent. People admire some quality, talent, trait or behavior in celebrities and become drawn to them. They may like to follow them on social networks or know about them from various sources out of curiosity or for entertainment or for inspiration. In most cases, their admiration fades away, as they grow and evolve and their tastes and ideals change. 2.

They may prefer to watch their programs and performance and, in the process, develop an emotional bond with them. In most cases this is the initial factor in celebrity worship, and in most cases it ends without complications. Many people move on, as they grow older and their circumstances and personal tastes change.

Because of it, people believe or become convinced that they have some common traits or similarities with the celebrities and feel deeply connected to them at a deeper level. As the lines blur, they may act like them, think like them, dress like them or live like them. In some cases, they may also feel responsible and obliged to support them in their social or political causes or defend them from others. 4.

This is a common problem in India where caste plays a predominant role in the celebrity status of many politicians, celebrity singers, musicians and film stars. People not only admire or worship the celebrities for such reasons but also do the same to their children, grandchildren, wives and other relations, as if they all belong to one large extended family. 5.

Content: Intense admiration and obsession with the celebrities may often lead to feelings of love for them. Many people fall in love with celebrities, although they know that it is impossible to carry it through. In many instances, the controversial lifestyles of the celebrities give enough cause for some of the fans to treat them as love objects and feel attracted to them. Simple love may often become an obsession whereby people become delusional. Some even marry the images or photographs of their favorite celebrities and convince themselves that they are wedded to them, which in turn may affect their real relationships. 7. Sexual attraction: People are also drawn to celebrities due to their sex appeal or physical appearance and imagine them to be their ideal sex partners. They desire to be with them or spend time with them. In a few cases, it may become an obsession and take many forms.

Mental abnormality: Celebrity worship syndrome is by itself considered a mental abnormality, which may lead to other mental disorders if not contained in time. It is believed that celebrity obsession may become a seriously problem in people who suffer from other mental disorders such as psychosis, schizophrenia, bipolar condition, chronic depression, sociopathic tendencies, etc. Other factors which may induce obsessive feelings towards celebrities include poor mental health, social dysfunction, low life satisfaction, etc. Conclusion
Celebrities and successful people can be a source of inspiration to all of us.

Posted By HIPAA Journal on Mar 12, 2021
Share this article on: HIPAA was enacted several years before social media networks such as Facebook were launched, so there are no specific HIPAA social media rules; however, there are HIPAA laws and standards that apply to social media use by healthcare organizations and their employees. Healthcare organizations must therefore implement a HIPAA social media policy to reduce the risk of privacy violations. There are many benefits to be gained from using social media. Social media channels allow healthcare organizations to interact with patients and get them more involved in their own healthcare. Healthcare organizations can quickly and easily communicate important messages or provide information about new services. Healthcare providers can attract new patients via social media websites. However, there is also considerable potential for HIPAA Rules and patient privacy to be violated on social media networks. So how can healthcare organizations and their employees use social media without violating HIPAA Rules?

Content: Fear is uncomfortable—and it’s fascinating. It is our most basic, most powerful emotion. It was something that was thrust upon me, but it’s mine now…I want to fully inhabit my fear, explore it, and know it. I want to understand the workings of my mind.” In chronological order, Trahan leads the reader through the procedures that she underwent for thyroid cancer. In between this framework narrative, she unpacks her fascination with true crime, bringing the reader along as she explores the darkest of criminal histories. Even when she details the crimes that the men committed against women, Trahan doesn’t waver in her commitment to precision. The cadence of Trahan’s sentences directs the reader where to breathe and how to feel. When she writes about her obsession with violent true crime television series, her short sentences focus on her external interests while the longer complex sentence reveals her internal scars: “ I love seeing criminals get caught.

Content: The T-tubules lie over the junction between the A- and I-bands (see diagram). The two terminal cistemae of the SR together with their associated T tubule are known as a triad. Inside the muscle fibre, the T-tubules lie next to the terminal cisternae of an internal membrane system derived from the endoplasmic reticulum, called the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), which is a store of calcium ions. Stimulation of the muscle fibre, causes a wave of depolarisation to pass down the t-tubule, and the SR to release calcium ions into the sarcoplasm. Calcium is pumped back up into the SR to lower calcium ion concentration in the sarcoplasm, to relax the muscle (turn off contraction). Cardiac Muscle also has T-tubules, and SR. However the T-tubules lie over the Z-line in cardiac muscle, are less numerous and wider. The SR is smaller and less elaborate, and stores less calcium ions. Cardiac muscle cells also depend on extracellular calcium ions, that enter through the T-tubules and triggers release of calcium ions from the SR. Cardiac muscle cells are electrically connected through gap junctions, so that waves of electrical stimuli pass around the heart from cell to cell, and all the cells are stimulated to contract.

Content: Are There Good Reasons for Being a Farmer? | AHA
Are There Good Reasons for Being a Farmer? Farming was among the earliest of civilized man’s occupations, and it has been the main economic basis of every civilization down to fairly recent times. Among ancient peoples, the landowner was regarded, along with the warrior, as the most respected and honored of men. Our own American civilization is grounded on the ideals of a simple agricultural society. Many of the Fathers of our country, such as Washington and Jefferson, were farmers and their outlook on life largely shaped the spirit of our Constitution and government. Perhaps the first question which anyone who considers taking up farming as a career asks himself is: Do I like farming as a way of life? According to its devotees, farming offers satisfactions not often found in other tasks. Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard, himself a farmer, told a meeting of the Future Farmers of America on October 10, 1944: “

Content: Dr. Baker-who may be regarded as a spokesman for the school of farming enthusiasts -said, “I have a son now less than 5 years old, and I hope when he grows up that he will decide to be a farmer.” Dr. Baker’s reasons for wanting his son to be a farmer were: A farmer has more and better food to eat than have most people who live in cities. He is healthier and lives longer. He is likely to enjoy his work more than most city people do. He is more likely to rear a family and thereby promote the future welfare of the nation. Let us examine briefly each of these points. Do farmers eat better? As to the question of diet, Dr. Baker based his assertion on (1) a United States Department of Agriculture study, made in fairly prosperous times, of 2,400 farm families and (2) a study by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics of 12,000 workingmen’s families in cities. The farm families, it was found, were getting much more protein, calcium, phosphorous, and iron than was necessary for good nutrition.

Do farmers earn less than city folk?
Content: He is more likely to rear a family and thereby promote the future welfare of the nation. Let us examine briefly each of these points. Do farmers eat better? As to the question of diet, Dr. Baker based his assertion on (1) a United States Department of Agriculture study, made in fairly prosperous times, of 2,400 farm families and (2) a study by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics of 12,000 workingmen’s families in cities. The farm families, it was found, were getting much more protein, calcium, phosphorous, and iron than was necessary for good nutrition. The city families, on the other hand, were getting barely enough protein and not enough calcium, phosphorous, and iron. The farm folk ate much more meat, eggs, milk, and vegetables—which they often produced themselves—than did the city folk, who depended more on cereals. Of course, city families with large incomes get more adequate food than workingmen’s families, but many farm people, if they moved to town, would undoubtedly fall into the latter class. Of course, there are farm families who do not get a rich and varied diet, even in prosperous times like the present. In some agricultural areas there are farmers who have no gardens and keep no livestock.

Content: The city families, on the other hand, were getting barely enough protein and not enough calcium, phosphorous, and iron. The farm folk ate much more meat, eggs, milk, and vegetables—which they often produced themselves—than did the city folk, who depended more on cereals. Of course, city families with large incomes get more adequate food than workingmen’s families, but many farm people, if they moved to town, would undoubtedly fall into the latter class. Of course, there are farm families who do not get a rich and varied diet, even in prosperous times like the present. In some agricultural areas there are farmers who have no gardens and keep no livestock. Some do not have enough cash income to buy adequate, wholesome food. Do farmers have better health? It is often remarked that one sees many more old people in the country than in the city. Does this mean that rural people live longer, despite the poor sanitary facilities and the lack of doctors and hospitals? According to a census study based on 1920 figures, a newborn city baby, if a boy, could expect to live, on the average, to the age of 52.

Content: There, the whole day long, one’s life is a perfect feast.” Is family life better on the farm? Some sociologists say that the farmer tends to have a happier home life than the city man. As a rule, farming is a family enterprise. The husband, wife, and children divide the labor, each doing what his or her strength and ability permit. By such teamwork, the family is knit into a tight and harmonious unit. Because they work together as well as live together, farm families are generally more stable than urban families. This assertion is borne out by 1930 census figures which show that 19 per cent of family groups in cities were broken as against 14.7 per cent in villages and only 8.1 per cent on farms. According to the farming enthusiasts, family life and all it stands for seem to be more appreciated in rural than in urban communities, where people in normal times do not stay at home so much and outside distractions make the members of some families almost strangers to each other. In answer to this, the city enthusiasts say that some farmers have more children than they can suitably provide for, and that the reason farm families tend to be more stable than urban families is that they don’t know how to get away from each other.

Content: While the laws are for the most part merely a legal recognition of a situation which had already developed, they do furnish a kind of guarantee of uniformity. This examination of existing statutes concerning the teaching of American history is therefore based upon no attitude of either approval or disapproval. It is merely one method of ascertaining the status of American history in the schools. State laws on the subject of the teaching of American history are usually general, often vague, and sometimes obscure. Often they require that the subject shall be taught but fail to indicate whether it shall be taught in the elementary, the junior high, or the senior high school. They frequently specify that American history shall be taught, but not whether it is to be an elective or a required subject. As a general rule one can assume that nearly all the early laws ( i.e. those passed before about 1900) on this subject apply to the elementary schools. In such cases the legislators generally intended that American history should be taught in the upper grades, that is VII and VIII. More recent laws on this subject have been quite generally directed at the high schools, and in application this has meant the two upper grades, XI or XII. This study undertakes to present an accurate and complete picture of the statutory requirements.

For example, the laws concerning the teaching of state history, state documents, the federal Constitution, the state constitution, and American institutions and ideals, are interpreted in some states as implying a mandate to teach United States history. The phrase “American institutions and ideals” appears in the school laws of Arizona, California, Wyoming, Georgia, South Carolina, and two or three other states. In some states the department of education, the attorney general, or the courts have construed this phrase to mean that American history shall be taught. Whether one should say, in such instances, that it is required by law or by regulation of the department of education is a moot point.

Table V presents an inclusive picture of the requirements for the teaching of United States history in both the elementary and the secondary schools. Three symbols have been employed to show the situation in each state: an x means that a state law exists which either specifically requires the teaching of American history at the indicated grade level, or has been interpreted as such a requirement; the letters D-E mean that a course or courses in American history are prescribed by the state departments of education; a zero means that there is no state-wide requirement for the teaching of American history, either by state law or by state department regulation.

Content: In Alabama, for example, there is a state law requiring that American history be taught in the elementary schools, but in the high schools the requirement rests on a regulation of the state department of education. In Arizona the teaching of American history in both the elementary and the high schools is required by state department ruling. In the third state listed, Arkansas, the requirement that American history be taught in both the elementary and the secondary schools rests on state law. Table V shows that 34 states require by law the teaching of American history in the elementary schools; 21 require it at the high-school level. Those states which require it in high school also require it in the elementary school. In 11 states where there is no law requiring the teaching of American history in the elementary schools, it is prescribed by the state departments of education. In 25 states which have no law requiring the teaching of American history in the high schools, it is prescribed by state departments of education. Thus the teaching of American history in the elementary schools is prescribed by law or by regulation in 45 states; in the high school it is prescribed by law or by regulation in 46 states.

The Pan-African Movement
Although the end of colonialism occurred shortly after the end of World War II, it would be a mistake to assume that the calls for independence by Africans began in the aftermath of the defeat of Nazi Germany and its racism. Demands to liberate Africa from colonial status began at least as early as the end of World War I and the Versailles Peace Treaty. That treaty was based on the ideal of self-determination--the belief that people should decide their own form of government and that world peace hinged, at least in part, on the principle that no people should be ruled by an "outside" group (one not of the ethnic background of the citizenry itself). Pan-Africanism was the attempt to create a sense of brotherhood and collaboration among all people of African descent whether they lived inside or outside of Africa. The themes raised in this excerpt connect to the aspirations of people, the values of European culture, and the world of African colonies. How do the authors of this statement define the major events of Europe at the time. What do they see as their own role in the future of Africa? What is their evaluation of the bulk of the African population? [From: African World Supplement, September, 1921, pp.

Ayodele Langley, Pan-Africanism and Nationalism in West Africa, 1900-1945 (Oxford at the Clarendon Press, 1973), 375-379.] The London Manifesto (29 August 1921)
The United States of America, after brutally enslaving millions of black folk suddenly emancipated them and began their education, but it acted without system or forethought, throwing the freed man on the world penniless and landless, educating them without thoroughness and system and subjecting them the while to lynching, lawlessness, discrimination, insult and slander, such as human beings have seldom endured and survived. To save their own government they enfranchised the Negro and then when danger passed, allowed hundreds of thousands of educated and civilised black folk to be lawlessly disfranchised and subjected to a caste system, and at the same time in 1776, 1812, 1861, 1897, and 1917 they asked and allowed thousands of black men to offer up their lives as a sacrifice to the country which despised them. France alone of the great colonial powers has sought to place her cultured black citizens on a plane of absolute legal and social equality with her white, and given them representation in her highest legislature. In her colonies she has a wide-spread but still imperfect system of state education.

Content: In Japan, they still have positive superstitions about black cats and cats in general. They are symbols of good fortune and prosperity. The Maneki Neko cat statue sits inside almost all businesses with one paw up, waving in the good fortune. There are both white and black Maneki Nekos. Many young, single women in Japan own black cats, because they believe it will bring in many suitors. Why Were Black Cats Persecuted in the Middle Ages? What exactly is the origin of bad black cat superstition? As noted, during the Middle Ages and beyond, unfounded superstitions led some groups to hunt down and eliminate black cats. Those superstitions may have their roots in the fact that the black cat was worshipped in some places. Before a number of modern religions became widespread, most people around the world worshipped a pantheon of gods – often in the form of idols.

1990s: The Good Decade
The man who gave the world "Generation X" looks back at the oft-maligned 1990s. Author: Douglas Coupland
On August 11, 1992, I was in suburban Minneapolis for the opening of the Mall of America, the largest shopping mall on Earth. I was on a book tour and in the early afternoon I spent 60 minutes with the local AM radio station host, seated in chairs on a small plywood platform smelling of popcorn and apples, and where every 62 seconds a roller-coaster car shaped like the head of Snoopy roared just above our stand at 547 miles per hour. It’s amazing how quickly that sort of regularized intrusion becomes invisible. The entire set up was very old-school middle America in the most charming kind of way — all that was missing was a 4-H poultry competition or a barber shop quartet singing “The Michigan Rag.”

One of the earliest surviving world maps from the Far East, China’s Da Ming Hun Yi Tu, or “Amalgamated Map of the Ming Empire,” was drawn on silk as early as 1389. The map spans the entire Eurasian continent from Japan to the Atlantic Ocean, and includes detailed markings of mountain ranges, rivers and administrative centers. It is particularly notable for the way in which it distorts the size of various landmasses. Mainland China sits like a monolith in the middle of the map, while Japan and Korea are both far larger than India. The African continent, meanwhile, is depicted as a relatively small peninsula with what appears to be a giant lake in its center.

A glimpse inside the famously secretive papal conclave.
Content: The next pope doesn’t necessarily have to be a cardinal. There are only two requirements for becoming pope: being male and being baptized into the Catholic Church. But although this technically leaves hundreds of millions of people eligible, they shouldn’t hold their breath. A non-cardinal hasn’t been chosen since 1378, when the selection of Urban VI brought about the Western Schism. 7. Only cardinals younger than 80 can vote. In 1970, Paul VI limited voting at conclaves to those cardinals younger than 80, reportedly as a way of building in term limits and preventing the elderly from having to travel to Rome. Many in the over-80 crowd still show up, however, and participate in pre-conclave meetings devoted to preparatory matters and discussions about the future of the church. 8.

Andrew Carnegie’s Surprising Legacy
Before his death in 1919, steel magnate and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie helped fund the creation of some 2,800 libraries across the world
Author: Evan Andrews
For Andrew Carnegie, books were an indispensable tool for self-improvement and social uplift. Born poor in Scotland in 1835, the future industrialist immigrated to the United States as an adolescent and settled in Pennsylvania with his family. By age 13, he was already working 12-hour days, first as a bobbin boy in a textile mill and later as a messenger for a telegraph office. With no time to attend school, Carnegie was forced to educate himself by borrowing books from Colonel James Anderson, a wealthy local man who opened his private library to the community’s young workers. Carnegie would later credit Anderson’s free library with helping sharpen his mind and ease the drudgery of his work. “ To him I owe a taste for literature which I would not exchange for all the millions that were ever amassed by man,” he wrote in his autobiography. pinterest-pin-it

With the aid of the knowledge he gleaned from books, Carnegie later reached the pinnacle of success in the American business world. The former bobbin boy rose to become a personal secretary, railroad superintendent, financial investor and bridge company owner. By the 1870s, he had founded his first steel plant, which eventually grew into the mighty Carnegie Steel Company. In 1901, at the age of 65, Carnegie sold the business to industrialist J.P. Morgan for a cool $480 million—the equivalent of over $13 billion today. The sale made Carnegie the richest man in the world, but the so-called “Prince of Steel” wasn’t content to sit idly and count his money. Saying that, “the man who dies rich dies disgraced,” he reinvented himself as a philanthropist and spent his later years using his fortune for the betterment of society. Carnegie funded retirement pensions for teachers, established the Carnegie Institute of Technology (later Carnegie-Mellon University), and set up scientific research centers and organizations devoted to world peace. He also furnished towns across the globe with everything from music halls and swimming pools to church organs. pinterest-pin-it

Content: they don’t have skills.” Kelly was talking specifically about immigrants from Latin American countries. But a century before, this line of thinking was used against another group that didn’t seem to be able to “assimilate”: German Americans. At the time, these roughly eight million Americans were the country’s largest non-English-speaking group. Many had come over in a migration wave in the late 19th century. Once here, they built restaurants and guesthouses that, in the German tradition, each had their own beer brewery. In 1910, the U.S. had 554 German-language newspapers, as well as German-language school systems that coexisted with English-language schools. “By 1917 these immigrants who came to Cincinnati or St. Louis or Milwaukee or New York or Baltimore were fully integrated into American society,” says Richard E. Schade, a German studies professor at the University of Cincinnati. But when the U.S. entered World War I, these immigrants came up against a new “anti-German hysteria.”

Because Germany was one of America’s adversaries in the war, many Anglo-Americans began to fear that German Americans were still loyal to the Kaiser, or German emperor. Suddenly, German Americans became “hyphenated Americans” who suspiciously practiced their own traditions instead of “assimilating” into Anglo-American culture. As President Woodrow Wilson once admonished: “

All of this anti-German sentiment did two things. First, it motivated Anglo-Americans to push back against anything German. States banned German-language schools and removed German books from libraries. Some German Americans were interned, and one German American man, who was also targeted for being socialist, was killed by a mob. Secondly, in response to this, German Americans began intentionally “assimilating” to avoid becoming targets. They changed their names to English-sounding ones, renamed German streets, and began to speak German only in private. In public, they spoke English.

School segregation remains in force all over America today, largely because many of the neighborhoods in which schools are still located are themselves segregated. Despite the passage of the Fair Housing Act in 1968 and later judicial decisions making racial discrimination illegal, exclusionary economic-zoning laws still bar low-income and working-class Americans from many neighborhoods, which in many cases reduces their access to higher quality schools. According to a 2014 report by Richard Rothstein of the Economic Policy Institute report, as of the 60th anniversary of the Brown v. Board verdict the typical Black student attended a school where only 29 percent of his or her fellow students were white, down from some 36 percent in 1980.

The cult leader and mass murderer got parole hearings until the very end. In 1971, cult leader Charles Manson was sentenced to death for murdering two people and orchestrating the killings of seven others in August of 1969. But why, if he received the death penalty all those years ago, did he spend his life in jail, dying of natural causes in 2017? It all has to do with a couple of court cases that suspended the death penalty the year after Manson was sentenced. These cases effectively struck down all methods of state execution in the U.S. for four years, leaving Manson and his followers with the next harshest sentence at the time in California—life with parole. “At the time that Manson and his followers were sentenced to death, California did not have a life without parole sentence,” says Hadar Aviram, a law professor in California who is writing a book about the Manson Family parole hearings, titled Yesterday’s Monsters. So when the death penalty was taken away, Manson and his followers were bumped down to a sentence in which they would not only live, they would have a chance to walk free.

The public had been horrified by the murder of the pregnant actress Sharon Tate and four others at her Beverly Hills home on August 9, 1969. Manson hadn’t even known Tate lived there; he’d intended his followers to find the house’s former resident, a music producer who’d failed to get Manson a recording deal. The next day, his followers murdered a married couple, the LaBiancas, in their home. Manson believed that these murders would trigger an inevitable race war that he called “Helter Skelter,” after The Beatles’ song. The murder scenes were particularly gruesome. The cult left their victims with multiple stab wounds, and Susan Atkins, one of the murderers, had written “pig” on the front door with Tate’s blood. These terrifying details captivated the public, making the very real possibility that Manson and his cult could get parole even more alarming. “In the ‘70s, it was quite normal for someone convicted of murder to get out after 10, 15 years,” Aviram says.

The Euro: How a Common Currency Helped Europe Achieve Peace
Born in the ashes of World War II, the currency used by 19 European countries went into effect on January 1, 1999. Author: Erin Blakemore
It could have been a disaster: runs on banks, uncashed checks, confusion at the counter. But by all accounts, the European Union’s switchover from a rainbow of different currencies to a single currency, the euro, was so orderly it was downright dull. “The boring thing about the euro is that everything is working so well,” a German retailer told the New York Times in late January 2002, a few weeks after 8.1 billion euro notes flooded the market. The transition may have been quick and quiet.

A vision of peace led to the first economic union in Europe
It all began with the Treaty of Paris, a 1951 treaty negotiated in the aftermath of World War II. Officials at the time worried that hyperinflation and economic instability similar to that experienced by Germany after World War I might ensue.

Content: So European nations decided to band together not just to stabilize their economies, but minimize the chance of another devastating war. In 1951, the treaty established the European Coal and Steel Community, which united steel and coal production in France, West Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands. Since France and Germany had long been enemies, it was thought that pooling the production of two materials essential to waging war would essentially make fighting one another impossible. It also created a common market for those commodities, kicking off the slow movement toward a common currency that would follow over the next half-century. In 1957, the Treaty of Rome created the European Economic Community, a common market which gradually eliminated customs and other trade barriers between the six nations. In 1967, both groups merged with the European Atomic Energy Committee to form the Commission of the European Communities, which was joined by other European nations throughout the years. Economic volatility made currency reform more important than ever
Europe was peaceful, and the currency of its various nations stable, for now. Common market countries grew more prosperous over the 1950s and early 1960. But the late 1960s threatened that newfound prosperity when international currency began to experience large swings in value. The EEC created a working group to try to figure out if it was viable to unite economically and monetarily, and in 1970 the Werner Report, named after the group’s chair, Luxembourg’s prime minister Pierre Werner, recommended that Europe adopt a single currency within a decade.

But the specifics of the currency itself still needed to be hashed out—including what to call it. “ The name of the single currency must be the same in all the official languages of the European Union, taking into account the existence of different alphabets; it must be simple and symbolize Europe,” the European Council wrote in 1995. Enter Germain Pirlot, a Belgian professor and esperantist who thought that the currency should reflect the people who would use it. He wrote to the commission’s president in 1995 suggesting the name “euro.” In 1995, it became the official name of the currency, and the European Council chose the symbol €. The symbol "was inspired by the Greek letter epsilon (Є), a reference to the cradle of European civilization,” the commission writes. “

Content: Starting in 2013, a refreshed series of banknotes has been sent into circulation. It features an updated map of Europe and better safety features. The rollout was relatively smooth, despite the refusal of some countries, like the United Nations and Denmark, to use the currency and strikes by disgruntled bankers in both France and Italy. Meanwhile, reported CBS News, people exchanged hoards of money they had been hiding for years and bestowed piles of old money on churches as offerings to offload their old coins. The public had to be taught not just to recognize the new currency, but to determine whether the coins and banknotes were counterfeit and figure out what it was worth compared to their old currency. “As soon as I switched to the single currency, I converted all my money into euros and tried to think only in that currency,” said Germain Pirlot, the professor who suggested the currency’s name, in 2007. He called the conversion “a simple gymnastics of the mind” and encouraged his fellow Belgians to think in euros, not francs, abandoning the complicated math that went into understanding how much the currency might be worth. Will the euro survive? The euro was supposed to usher in a new age of economic stability, but it has had its share of ups and downs. Beginning in 2009, the world began to realize that Greece, a eurozone member, might default on its debt.

Content: “As soon as I switched to the single currency, I converted all my money into euros and tried to think only in that currency,” said Germain Pirlot, the professor who suggested the currency’s name, in 2007. He called the conversion “a simple gymnastics of the mind” and encouraged his fellow Belgians to think in euros, not francs, abandoning the complicated math that went into understanding how much the currency might be worth. Will the euro survive? The euro was supposed to usher in a new age of economic stability, but it has had its share of ups and downs. Beginning in 2009, the world began to realize that Greece, a eurozone member, might default on its debt. The prospect of one or multiple countries leaving the economic alliance unsettled the international markets, and the European Union was criticized for standardizing only its currency, not its financial systems. The EU bailed out multiple countries, but the future of the economic alliance is still an open question. “Although they described the project in grand terms, Europeans set about creating an “incomplete monetary union,” one that had a common monetary policy but lacked the fiscal safeguards to dampen booms and recessions,” writes economist Ashoka Mody for Quartz. “ Within this incomplete structure, conflicts involving the conduct of monetary and fiscal policy were bound to arise.” With Brexit on the horizon, the future of the eurozone is still unclear.

But the ubiquity of the euro is not. Today, nearly 1.2 trillion euro are in circulation, and the currency has been more valuable than the dollar for nearly two decades. Europe’s risky gamble on a common currency may still pay off. Until then, it pays for the practicalities and pleasures of 19 members of the EU—one ambitious coin, banknote, or wire transfer at a time. FACT CHECK:

Content: The secession of Texas in 1836, however, marked the beginning of the loss of Mexican territory that would become the present-day U.S. Southwest. The War with Mexico
U.S. President James K. Polk captured the White House in 1844 on a pledge to fulfill America’s “Manifest Destiny” to stretch from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. Relations with Mexico deteriorated after the United States annexed Texas in 1845. When Mexico refused an American offer to purchase California and New Mexico for $30 million, Polk dispatched 4,000 troops into land north of the Rio Grande and south of the Nueces River claimed by both countries. Following a Mexican cavalry attack in the disputed territory on April 25, 1846, that left 16 American soldiers dead or wounded, the United States declared war on Mexico. After a series of bloody battles and sieges, American forces captured the Mexican capital in September 1847. Under the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, Mexico formally recognized the American annexation of Texas and agreed to sell more than one-third of its territory. For $15 million and the assumption of certain damage claims, the United States purchased more than a half million square miles that would encompass all or most of the future states of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada and Utah as well as portions of present-day Colorado, Wyoming, Oklahoma and Kansas. pinterest-pin-it

Content: Women move to cities and into the workforce, but stayed in traditional 'women’s roles.' The flapper was born out of a growing landscape in America. By 1920, for the first time in the nation’s history, more Americans (51 percent) were living in cities rather than in rural areas. As part of the nation's urbanization and economic growth, more and more women were entering the workforce. By 1929, more than a quarter of all women, and more than half of single women, were gainfully employed. For the most part, however, the increase of working women didn’t represent a challenge to traditional gender roles. Nearly a third of working women in the 1920s were domestic servants, while the rest were clerical workers, factory workers, store clerks and other “feminized” professions. “ Women are working, but they're working in what are called 'women's jobs,’” says Lynn Dumenil, professor emerita of history at Occidental College and author of The Second Line of Defense: American Women and World War I.
Even women who blazed a trail in politics faced barriers due to their gender: Most female officeholders worked primarily on what were seen as “women’s issues,” preventing them from acquiring too much power within their political parties.

Not only were women hitting a glass ceiling with job fields, workplace discrimination and wage inequality also ran rampant throughout the ‘20s. As Gail Collins writes in her book America’s Women, the average weekly wage for men in 1927 was $29.35, compared to only $17.34 for women. While their wages were not high, women joined the new mass consumer culture. Their wages might not have matched that of their male counterparts, but working women used their purchasing power to join the nation’s new mass consumer culture. “

By 1927, nearly two-thirds of American homes would have electricity, and new consumer goods like the washing machine, refrigerator and vacuum cleaner were revolutionizing housework and home life. Women were the major target audience for many of the new products, including household appliances, clothing and cosmetics. The rise of the automobile contributed to the sense of freedom and possibility that suffused the Roaring Twenties. “ The car is central to Americans' lives in the 1920s, across the board,” Dumenil explains. “

Content: While not every Mexican or Mexican American would use the term, it gained traction, including among Mexican Americans who were fighting for civil rights. “Because the word was in regular use at that time,” Bowles says, “it was kind of this way of reclaiming the slur and using it for a political Latinx identity.” 'Latinx' Emerges as Gender-Neutral Term
Spanish is a gendered language. If there is a group made up of women, they can be described as “ellas.” If there is a group with men and women, it defaults to the masculine (ellos instead of ellas). The word “Latino” follows this convention, labeling nouns as either masculine or feminine. For those who fall outside the gender binary, this word fails to represent them, which is where the gender neutral “Latinx” comes into play. Much like the other words used to describe those of Latin American descent, Latinx has faced some pushback—from arguments that it’s difficult to pronounce to the Real Academia Española, the institution tasked with maintaining the consistency of the Spanish language, saying it’s unnecessary. Some even argued non-Latino whites imposed the word on Latinos. Bowles argues against this notion. “

Content: In the camps, prisoners were offered the opportunity to work (with pay not to exceed that of an Army private) in jobs that ranged from camp staff, including doctors and teachers, to laboring in nearby farms and factories. At several prison camps, workers were even paid to make camouflage nets to be used by the American army. But it was impossible to overlook the packed accommodations, often poor provisions, and other hardships faced by the camp inmates who had been stripped of their freedom. “ I knew that we were so-called Japanese. I thought I was American too, but I found out I wasn’t. I thought I was American the whole time.” said Bill Shishima, who was 11 when his family was forced to leave Los Angeles following the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Fighting 442nd
While many of their families were spending the war years dislocated from their homes and treated as prisoners in their own country, 13,000 American men of Japanese heritage—including some who had initially been incarcerated in the camps—volunteered for the army. In 1943, Roosevelt reversed his initial decree forbidding Japanese-American men from joining up, and those who subsequently volunteered made up the 442nd Regimental Combat Team. This regiment would go down in history as one of the most decorated units in the U.S. Army during World War II, and over 700 soldiers from the 442nd would give their lives in the war.

5 Latino-Led Labor Strikes That Championed Rights for American Workers

They had a profound effect on the massive world of American food production. When it comes to the fight for workers’ rights in the United States, Latino Americans have been critical players since the early 1900s. Their organizing and agitating have led to improved working conditions and wages in industries across the U.S.
“Latinos have been part of the long history of the construction of this country and this labor force,” especially in the American West, says Gaspar Rivera-Salgado, project director at UCLA’s Center for Labor Research and Education. “ They were part of the completion of the transcontinental railroad. They were part of the early Los Angeles building boom.” And of course they have had a profound impact on the massive world of American food production, where they have been heavily represented both in the fields and in processing plants. Latino workers’ fight for protections and living wages has been an uphill one, weighted with layers of discrimination. “

Since the late 1930s, conventional wisdom has held that President Franklin D. Roosevelt ’s “ New Deal ” helped bring about the end of the Great Depression. The series of social and government spending programs did get millions of Americans back to work on hundreds of public projects across the country. But in the 80 years since the Great Depression was formally declared over in June of 1938, historians and economists have continued to debate the true merits of the New Deal and whether, in fact, the radical government spending programs brought about the end of the biggest economic downturn in history. Many New Deal programs established critical economic safeguards. “The reforms put in place by New Deal, including encouraging the beginning of the labor movement, which fostered wage growth and sustained the purchasing power of millions of Americans, the establishment of Social Security and the federal regulations imposed on the financial industry, as imperfect as they were, essentially ensured there wouldn’t be another Great Depression after the 1930s,” says Nelson Lichtenstein, professor of history and director of the Center for the Study of Work, Labor and Democracy at the University of California, Santa Barbara. “And there hasn’t been. We’ve had a few close calls, but nothing like the Great Depression,” he says. But, just because the United States hasn’t repeated the economic catastrophe of the Great Depression doesn’t mean the programs of the New Deal can take all the credit. Other factors were also at play—including the onset of a major world war. “

Other factors were also at play—including the onset of a major world war. “ It really could be argued World War II, which ultimately lowered unemployment and increased GNP through weapons production really played a much bigger role,” Lichtenstein says. Still, as Dr. Lichtenstein notes, several programs created through the New Deal did have a lasting positive impact on the U.S. economy which was flagging throughout the 1930s, among them the Social Security Act, which provided income for the elderly, disabled and children of poor families. The Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 established the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which effectively insured the savings of Americans in the event of a bank failure, which was all too common at the time. The modern labor movement was born out of New Deal initiatives. In addition, Lichtenstein notes, the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933 was enacted to foster “fair competition” through the fixing of prices and wages and the establishment of production quotas, among other measures.
