Andrew Carnegie
Andrew Carnegie was born in Dunfermline, Scotland, on November 25, 1835. In 1848, he and his family emigrated to Pennsylvania, where worked as a bobbin boy in a textile factory. He worked his way up the ranks, eventually becoming a telegraph operator. With the help of his mentor, Thomas A. Scott of the Pennsylvania Railroad, he was appointed a superintendent of military transportation and director of telegraph communications for the US government during the Civil War. At the end of the war, Carnegie resigned from the Pennsylvania Railroad company, having begun a career as an investor and speculator. During the depression of 1873, he invested heavily in steel, and was able to raise the quality of steel while reducing its price by using technological innovations such as the Bessemer process. Gradually, he created a vertical monopoly in the steel industry by obtaining control over every level involved in steel production, from raw materials, transportation and manufacturing to distribution and finance. By 1897, he controlled almost the entire steel industry in the United States. In 1901, Carnegie Steel merged with US Steel to become the largest company in existence at the time. He left the firm that same year, and devoted the rest of his life to philanthropic efforts.

Pacific NW Native Americans
It is estimated that 250,000 Native Americans were living along the coast of the Pacific Northwest. The area had a temperate climate, waters rich in fish and interiors full of small animals that could be hunted. With plenty of readily available food as well as an endless supply of wood the residents of the area built large sturdy homes. The tribes of the area are also known for creating beautiful totems with intricate carvings and pictures that were used to tell the story of the clan. The natives often wore necklaces which symbolized the wealth of the wearer. They also created beautiful baskets and even hats which were important in the rainy Pacific Northwest. The Natives believed that they were all connected to the world of the supernatural that surrounded them. The Shaman or medicine man was the bridge to that world. Most of the celebrations held by Native Americans of the area were called Potlatch- which comes from the word to give. Families would spend months planning a Potlatch.

Inflation in the 60's
Content: While industrial production continued to rise and unemployment continued to fall, the economy came under severe pressure. The rapidly increasing general price level was unpopular, and eroded the incomes of the elderly and other Americans living on fixed incomes. High inflation also discouraged people from saving money, and increased the pressure on the dollar, which was already in a precarious position because of its role in the international monetary system. An increase in the demand for loans for defense contractors led the Federal Reserve to raise the discount rate from 4 to 4.5%. The major disruption to the delicate balance achieved in the first half of the decade was the war in Vietnam. In July of 1965, President Johnson committed American forces to Vietnam. Wars generally bring about inflation, but the unrelieved financial demands of the war became a serious burden on the economy. The Defense Department estimated U.S. expenditures in support of obligations in Southeast Asia as $103 million in 1965, $5.8 billion in 1966, $20.1 billion in 1967, $26.5 billion in 1968, and $28.8 billion in 1969. Johnson did not want to consider it an all-out war, so he was reluctant to request that Congress pass a tax to finance the war. For two years, he held back, thus blowing a growing hole in the federal budget.

The production requirements which the war effort necessitated also pushed the economy beyond the careful constraints the Council of Economic Advisors had suggested to promote non-inflationary growth. By 1966, the government wage and price controls were breaking down. This, combined with rising interest rates signaled the end of non-taxationary solutions to control inflation. After an economically painful 1966, Johnson was forced to overcome his resistance to taxes.

Congress did not pass the tax until 1968, at which point the legislation levying a tax also required a reduction in government expenditures. On June 28, 1968, Johnson signed the Revenue and Expenditure Control Act into law, with its $10 billion tax increase and a $6 billion spending reduction. Many Great Society supporters were concerned that the spending reduction would threaten domestic social programs. Nevertheless, Congress was unable to cut the full $6 billion from the budget, and the fiscal 1969 budget ended up with a $3.2 billion surplus and intact Great Society programs.

Along with the American failures in Vietnam, the inflation of the late 1960s was a major factor in the breakdown of the Johnson Administration. Beyond its actual economic effects, it contributed to a general discontent with Johnson and his policies. In addition, the "Great Inflation" proved difficult to eradicate, continuing to plague the American economy into the 1970s, and defying control until 1982.

Overview of the Economy of the 60's
Content: Environmental and consumer interests were increasingly taken into consideration. As the nation strove to achieve these goals, the economy suffered from their negative effects. Large-scale government spending and the constraints of the international monetary system resulted in domestic inflation. As the government struggled to slow inflation and stabilize the economy, the Vietnam War and the War on Poverty raged on. One war was hopelessly lost, and the other was only partially won. Optimism disintegrated as the dollar lost stability and inflation took a firm hold. By the end of the 1960s, the economy was very different from its state at the beginning of the decade. Growth was slowing, inflation was rising, and the dollar was in poor shape. Nevertheless, there were positive changes in the economy. The United States had obtained greater access to trade with foreign nations.

Poverty in the Sixties
Content: Another criticism is that potentially helpful poverty solutions proposed by economists, such as Milton Friedman's proposal for a negative income tax, were not included. The major explanation for the persistence of poverty in the face of the Great Society, however, was the effect of U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Military spending diverted funds that might have been used to mount a powerful assault against poverty. In addition, the inflationary effects of the war placed greater pressure on the entire nation, including the poor. Although starvation and other extreme symptoms had been severely reduced, poverty was still a major problem in the United States by the end of the 1960s. Subsequent attempts to eradicate poverty or at least reduce its severity would be haunted by the ambivalent victory in the War on Poverty. Johnson's dream of a "great society" would remain largely a dream.

Vietnam War and the Economy
The Vietnam War had several effects on the U.S. economy. The requirements of the war effort strained the nation's production capacities, leading to imbalances in the industrial sector. Factories that would have been producing consumer goods were being used to make items from the military, causing controversy over the government's handling of economic policy. In addition, the government's military spending caused several problems for the American economy. The funds were going overseas, which contributed to an imbalance in the balance of payments and a weak dollar, since no corresponding funds were returning to the country. In addition, military expenditures, combined with domestic social spending, created budget deficits which fueled inflation. Anti-war sentiments and dissatisfaction with government further eroded consumer confidence. Interest rates rose, restricting the amount of capital available for businesses and consumers. Despite the success of many Kennedy and Johnson economic policies, the Vietnam War was a important factor in bringing down the American economy from the growth and affluence of the early 1960s to the economic crises of the 19

CONQUEST OF THE AZTEC EMPIRE
The Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire is not only one of the most significant events in the early exploration and conquest of the Americas, but also one of the most significant events in world history. In general, the conquest displayed the impact of European exploration on the New World and the outcomes of the Age of Exploration . At the time of contact both the Aztec and the Spanish were powerful and wealthy societies. Both were building their own empires, yet were unknown to each other. As such, many view the conquest as the clash of two societies and ways of life. The Aztec Empire was a powerful collection of city-states in what is today modern-day Mexico. It began as an alliance of three city-states, known as the Aztec Triple Alliance, which included: Tenochtitlan , Texcoco, and Tlacopan. These city-states ruled the area in and around the Mexico Valley from 1428 until they were defeated by the Spanish in 1521 as part of the Spanish conquest. During the period of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, it was ruled by Moctezuma II.

IMPACTS OF EUROPEAN IMPERIALISM IN AFRICA
The Age of Imperialism and the Scramble for Africa had a major impact in the continent of Africa and left a considerable legacy that still affects the continent today. More specifically, European imperialism in Africa unfolded as a series of major events that resulted in the major European powers taking control over large sections of Africa. Each of these major events had an impact on Africa in both the past and still today. As well, historians have identified both the positive and negative impacts of European imperialism in Africa.
EUROPEAN IMPERIALISM IN AFRICA OVERVIEW
The Scramble for Africa was a major historical event that saw the major European powers of the 19th century carry about competing campaigns to colonize Africa as quickly as possible. More specifically, the ‘Scramble for Africa’ is the term that historians use to refer to the expansion of European empires into Africa. It is referred to as a ‘scramble’ due to the way in which the European nations raced to capture territory to expand to their empires. The Scramble for Africa is considered to have occurred from approximately 1870 until the outbreak of World War I in 1914. During these years, almost all of Africa came under the control of the major European powers, including: Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Portugal and Spain. The Scramble for Africa unfolded as a series of major events that eventually saw the African continent colonized and then divided by the major European powers.

POSITIVE IMPACTS OF EUROPEAN IMPERIALISM IN AFRICA
As stated above, historians have identified both positive and negative impacts from the period of European imperialism in Africa. In fact, there were several main positive outcomes from the period. First, the main European powers (Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, etc.) that imperialized Africa established colonies to benefit their own economies in Europe. As such, European imperialism in Africa was beneficial for the European nations in that it helped grow their national economies.

Content: These impacts have affected the economic, social and political life for Africans.
One of the main negative impacts of European imperialism in Africa was the destruction of African traditions, culture and languages in favor of European traditions, culture and languages. For instance, the European people of the 19th century were ethnocentric and did not value the customs or traditions of the other groups of people that they encountered during the Age of Imperialism. For example, European colonists and settlers expressed a view of racial superiority over other groups. As such, European beliefs about their own supposed racial superiority helped inform their interactions with the people they encountered, including native Africans. The term that best relates to this concept is ‘ethnocentrism’, which is the concept of judging other cultures based upon the views of your own. Further to this idea is the concept of ‘eurocentrism’. Eurocentrism is similar to ethnocentrism but focuses specifically on Europeans and the views of superiority expressed in relation to the timeframe of imperialism. These Eurocentric beliefs were justified by European governments due to a concept called Social Darwinism. In short, Social Darwinism is the idea that some ethnic groups or races are superior to others and therefore more ‘fit’ to rule over those that are less ‘fit’.
Together, these ethnocentric views by the major European powers of the time meant that European settlers in Africa generally suppressed native African traditions, customs and languages. For instance, while the European nations sometimes established schools and hospitals in their African colonies, these schools emphasized European culture over African culture.

European Christian missionaries were a common feature of the Scramble for Africa in the late 19th century. For instance, famous British missionary David Livingstone carried out early missions to Africa in the hopes of converting African leaders. The spread of Christianity in Africa undermined African religions at the time, and caused many African people to begin to look to the European colonial governments as the authority instead of their own traditional leaders.
As stated above, African societies also faced economic impacts from European imperialism in the 19th century.

This focus on taking valuable resources out of Africa benefitted the European home countries greatly, but stalled or harmed the economies of the African societies. As such, this robbed the African people of developing the resources for themselves.
Finally, European imperialism in Africa negatively affected the African societies in terrible and devastating ways. For instance, Leopold II of Belgium famously brutalized the people of the Congo throughout his command over the Congo Free State.

IMPERIALISM IN AFRICA
Imperialism in Africa is an important topic in world history. It is related to the Age of Imperialism and the expansion of the European empires in the 19th century. In fact, the European powers of the 19th century competed with one another for territory and control over large sections of the African continent. The ‘scramble’ that occurred for Africa in the Age of Imperialism left a legacy on the people and regions of Africa that stills exists today. In order to understand the significance of Imperialism in Africa, its first important to understand imperialism and the history of Africa before the Age of Imperialism.
WHAT IS IMPERIALISM? Imperialism is a term that relates to when one country extends its political, economic or cultural authority over another country or region. This process involves the dominant country taking over the other through direct invasion and political control or by gaining authority over the economy of the other country. Imperialism, in history, was a foreign policy practiced by many different nations but is most often associated with European countries, the United States, and some Asian countries.
Britain played one of the most significant roles during the Age of Imperialism. As stated above, many European nations were spreading their influence throughout the world in the 18th and 19th centuries and took over control of vast regions of the world. However, Britain was the most important of these European nations, because the British Empire expanded the most at the time and came to be the largest empire in the world.

Content: For example, Europeans carried out these expeditions along African rivers and known trading routes as a way of exploring central Africa and learning more about the continent. Some of the most famous of these explorers were David Livingstone and Henry Morton Stanley. Regardless, European interest in Africa continued to grow and eventually resulted in the Scramble for Africa.

The ‘Scramble for Africa’ is the term that historians use to refer to the expansion of European empires into Africa. It is referred to as a ‘scramble’ due to the way in which the European nations raced to capture territory to expand to their empires.

Content: During these years, almost all of Africa came under the control of the major European powers, including: Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Portugal and Spain. There are several main causes to the Scramble for Africa, including: European competition, ethnocentrism, the spread of Christianity and new innovations.
The Scramble for Africa unfolded as a series of major events that eventually saw the African continent colonized and then divided by the major European powers. These events include: the Atlantic Slave Trade, European interest in the Suez Canal, Berlin Conference, First Moroccan Crisis, Second Moroccan Crisis, the Boer War, and the brutal rule of Leopold II in the Congo.
Once the European powers had carved up the continent of Africa amongst themselves they next established procedures and governments to rule over the territory and people. The European powers controlled their territory in Africa in several different ways. Some of these methods involved direct elements of control, while others were indirect. In general, historians have identified three different forms of European rule in Africa, including protectorates, spheres of influence and colonies.

IMPACTS OF IMPERIALISM IN AFRICA
Historians have identified both positive and negative impacts from the period of European imperialism in Africa. In fact, there were several main positive outcomes from the period. First, the main European powers (Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, etc.) that imperialized Africa established colonies to benefit their own economies in Europe. As such, European imperialism in Africa was beneficial for the European nations in that it helped grow their national economies. This was done by extracting important natural resources out of Africa and using them to benefit European companies and governments.

Content: Alexander Graham Bell Infographic (Click to Enlarge)
Alexander Graham Bell Telephone Patent Drawing (1876)
Alexander Graham Bell
Throughout the 1860s and 1870s, Bell carried out numerous experiments all centered around human speech and the use of technology to carry human made sounds long distances. For instance, in 1875 he developed a receiver that could turn electricity into sound. Called ‘acoustic telegraphy’, the device allowed voice-like sounds to be heard across wires. While, not yet delivering clear voices across the wires, the device proved to Bell that the technology was viable. Bell quickly raced to get the acoustic telegraph patented in 1875. In the meantime, he continued to experiment and quickly worked to develop the first working telephone. At the time, there was intense competition with other inventors, who were working on similar technology. For example, American engineer Elisha Gray had developed a prototype of a telephone model in 1876. In fact, some historians suggest that Gray should be credited with developing the first telephone. Others even accuse Bell of stealing the basic design elements of his own telephone design from Gray.

Content: Regardless, Alexander Graham Bell obtained the credit for the invention because he was the first to secure the patent in 1876. In fact, on March 10th in 1876, three days after his patent was issued, Bell performed a successful test of his then current telephone design. The test involved Bell stating “Mr. Watson—Come here—I want to see you” in reference to Thomas Watson, an assistant to Bell at the time. Following this initial test of his design, Bell carried out a more extensive test on his family farm near Branford, Canada on August 3rd, 1876. He had run a wire crudely along fences and telegraph posts over a stretch of about five miles (eight kilometers) from Brantford to his home. When setup, Bell was able to hear people on the other end of the line in Brantford. The test proved the ability of his telephone design to carry voices over long distances. Following these tests, Bell worked hard to improve and perfect his telephone and the technology behind it. In fact, the Bell Telephone Company was created in 1877, and it made Bell and his investors incredibly wealthy. The company continued developing the telephone and installed wires all across the United States.

The company continued developing the telephone and installed wires all across the United States. In fact, through a series of different mergers the original Bell Telephone Company eventually became the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) in 1885. These mergers gave the company access to more lines and allowed people to made long-distance phone calls. For example, Bell made the first transcontinental telephone call in January of 1915. He made the call from AT&T office New York City and called his assistant, Thomas Watson, in San Francisco, California.
His invention of the telephone made Bell a wealthy man.

Content: The early trade in slaves proved so profitable for slave owners in the New World that the practise expanded in 18th and 19th centuries. TRADE TRIANGLE
As stated above, the Middle Passage was a major route of the Trade Triangle . The Trade Triangle is the term used by historians to refer to the form of trade that occurred across the Atlantic Ocean during much of the Age of Exploration and the years that followed. In general, it was a set of three routes that saw goods and people travel between Europe, Africa and the Americas. European traders exported manufactured goods (metal tools, textiles, tobacco, beads, etc.) to the societies of west coast Africa in exchange for African slaves. The European goods were manufactured in European factories and shops. Next, the African slaves were put aboard European slave ships and taken to the Americas to be sold for huge profits. Here the slaves would be put to work on plantations in order to harvest raw materials. The final stage of the Trade Triangle involved European traders taking the harvested raw materials from the plantations back to Europe where they were processed into goods in European factories.

Content: Germany was forced to limit its army to 100,000 soldiers. As well, the German army was not allowed to develop any tanks. Germany was not allowed to have an air force and was limited to have no submarines and just six ships in its navy. The German was made to demilitarize its territory that bordered France to the west. ( Rhineland)
Germany was made to accept the 'War Guilt Clause' which meant that it was to accept blame for World War I.
Germany was forbidden from uniting with Austria. Germany was forbidden from joining the newly created League of Nations which sought to create peace in the world and to avoid another similar global war. Treaty of Versailles
IMPACTS OF THE TREATY OF VERSAILLES
The Treaty of Versailles created a legacy for Germany and Europe in the years after World War I. The treaty in now viewed by many as to severe of a punishment towards Germany in the years after World War I and is often viewed as a cause of World War II and the rise to power of Adolf Hitler and fascism in Germany. More specifically, the Treaty of Versailles left a legacy that had economic and political implications. Economically, the German economy struggled to cope with the high reparations, loss of land (Saar Coal Fields), and the ongoing Great Depression of the 1930’s. As stated above, Germany was forced to pay reparations as a term of the Treaty of Versailles.

As stated above, Germany was forced to pay reparations as a term of the Treaty of Versailles. Simply put, reparations are a form of war debt, that Germany was made to pay to the Allied nations. This was because Germany was blamed for starting the war, and as such was made to pay for the damages to the Allied nations. In actuality, France received most of the reparation payments, since most of the fighting of World War I occurred in the area of northern France. As Germany struggled to pay for its reparations, it printed off more of the German Mark which devalued the currency and led to hyperinflation. Hyperinflation is when a currency (money) loses its value very quickly.

Objectivity and Bias in the Study of History
Read this article to learn about the objectivity and bias in history:
Content: Every historian has his own likes, tastes, aptitude and preferences. He may choose either political or social or economic or military or constitutional or art-history and because he or she is specially inclined towards that particular subject, he or she is likely to be affected by it. Froude’s history gives us an impression of the course of events that is entirely different. Karl Marx would pick only the class struggle, Hegel would concentrate on human spirit. Acton on freedom. ADVERTISEMENTS: The problem of selection such that the history of Europe from 1861 A.D. to 1890 A.D. is only the history of either unification of Germany or expansion of Prussian kingdom or its leader Bismark. Imagine the events of 1857 A.D. in India. The English historian think that it was the first war of Indian independence and the historian, either from Russia or America would not agree with either of these views.

An element of subjectivity enters at every step in the process of investigation; the present can and does influence our knowledge of the past because past events do not any longer exist anywhere except in mind of the historian, who has now become both subject and object. He reconstructs or reenacts the past in his own mind and in doing so super imposes at least some of his ideas on past events. Talking about the Asoka’s renunciation of war, the historian cannot resist the temptation of evaluating Ashoka in the light of present potential danger to peace because of nuclear weapons. The historian would fail to achieve his main goal of narrating an event as it really happened. ADVERTISEMENTS:

Objectivity and Bias in the Study of History
Read this article to learn about the objectivity and bias in history:
Content: Historical objectivity is not attainable because of three factors such as- the nature of historical events, the selection of historical events and the personality of the author, his motives intentions and temperament. Historian works under certain limitations. All the facts or events are not well preserved or stored for him. The source material or evidence that might have contained facts might have been destroyed, or those who recorded the events might not have observed very well or even if they observed, they might have, deliberately omitted to record them. The historian himself be a victim of ideological considerations, political thoughts and commitment, group prejudice, national feelings, patriotic zeal and partisan attitude. Ideological considerations such as theological, philosophical, materialistic or any other intellectual bias might distort his vision. He is not free from his own viewpoint. When Barani or Abul Fazl wrote their “Tarikh-i-Ferozshahi” and “Akbarnama” respectively, they were not free from their political considerations or loyalty to their master. The whole ranges of medieval chronicles have a direct impact of political prejudice. The historical material of medieval Empire contains lot of distorted material.

To reconcile ourselves to the presence of subjectivity, which enters at every step in the process of investigation; the present can and does influence our knowledge of the past. Some people have gone so far as to say that the closest we can get to what actually happened is to believe what the records say actually happened. Historical thought about the past and all history, consequently, is the history of thought. But surely this is to over emphasis the element of subjectivity.

To those living in Constantinople, Rome was merely a symbol, a memory of a former time, not of any political of strategic importance. The highest ranking political official in residence was the bishop of Rome. Many historians cite the actual fall of the Western Empire as 476 AD. At this time the Emperor Romulus Augustulus was deposed by a man named Odoacer, who lead a revolt of the many Germanic ‘barbarian’ peoples that now inhabited that part of the Empire, against the Latins in power. After he successfully removed Augustulus from command he sent the emperor’s iconic imperial regalia, sceptre, and robes with a message saying: ‘

Content: Despite their advanced network of roads and bureaucratic mechanisms, word simply could not travel fast enough for the Empire to grow and change as a whole. When Constantine decided to move the capital to the old city of Byzantium — a strategic and lucrative position — to found Constantinople, the western parts of the Empire were the furthest from the economic stability and defensive power of the leaders of Rome; easy picking for the barbarians beyond the borders. This depicts the Empire’s territories at its height in the second century AD. Its downfall followed just a few centuries later; the sheer size of it a contibuting factor to its collapse. The splitting of the Empire and the loss of the West was the end of what many see as Ancient Rome, as the Eastern Empire developed the old traditions were left behind and a new entity emerged, the Byzantine Empire — a nation that would last another 1000 years.

How Many People Died in the First World War? Peter Curry

World War One was one of the bloodiest conflicts in mankind’s history, and saw over 16 million military deaths. When combined, the total number of civilian and military casualties (dead and wounded) is normally estimated at around 37 million people. Out of combat deaths, two out of three soldiers died in battle, while others died due to infections or disease. It is difficult to estimate the total number of deaths, as civilian mortality was not well documented. Consequently civilian deaths are “hazardous to estimate” according to Michael Clodfelter, who maintains that “the generally accepted figure of noncombatant deaths is 6.5 million.” Even the estimates for the number of military deaths are somewhat erratic, and we will never know the true total for the amount of deaths during the war. Around six million men were enlisted in Great Britain, and around 700,000 of those men were killed. Cemetery of the war dead in Verdun.

While the great majority of casualties in World War One were from the working class, the social and political elite were hit disproportionately hard by the war. There is a persistent myth that while many more working class men perished, the British upper classes got off lightly in World War One. In fact, the elite suffered as much as the working classes.

Over 1,000,000 Poles are believed to have died in the war in the armies of Russia, Austria and Germany. This represents one of the largest bodies of casualties among nations which at the time were not recognised as such. Serbia was probably the worst hit country. Depending on the sources you accept, Serbia’s death rate during the war could have been as high as 27.78% of the population, or up to 1.25 million people. A simple look at the numbers tends to blind us to the sheer scale of the loss of life. So many men died in the battlefields of World War One that the postwar media spoke of a ‘lost generation’ and showed an active concern for women who would apparently not be able to marry. A German prisoner helps British wounded make their way to a dressing station near Bernafay Wood following fighting on Bazentin Ridge, 19 July 1916, during the Battle of the Somme.

This began to cause widespread deaths in 1918, and lasted for several years after the war. It is so named because censorship laws preventing reporting on the flu in most countries that were at war. Spain remained neutral and consequently had no ban on reporting the spread of the virus, making it seem as though it was particularly badly affected. This was a particularly virulent strain of influenza which resulted in the deaths of between 50 and 100 million people, or around 5% of the world’s population at the time.

He went on to film some of the most iconic footage of the battle. This short drama follows in the footsteps of Malins that fateful morning in 1916. Watch Now

Millions more died across the globe in horrific circumstances. Around 1.5 million Armenians were systematically executed by the Ottoman government, in a genocide that the Turkish government still denies.

Machiavelli in our time
Content: Machiavelli used Cesare Borgia, Duke of Valentinois, as an example. However, he argued that leaders must take care to avoid inspiring unnecessary hatred. Cruelty should not be an ongoing means to oppress the people, but an initial action that ensures obedience. He wrote,
“If you must injure a man, make your injury so severe that you need not fear his revenge”. Any cruelty must be to wholly demolish the opposition and deter others from acting similarly, otherwise the action is futile and may even incur revengeful acts. Machiavelli in our time
Joseph Stalin epitomised the ‘New Prince’, who Machiavelli described, somehow unifying love and fear whilst simultaneously pursuing his ambitious political plan for Russia. Ruthless in his conduct, moderate estimates suggest that he was directly responsible for the death of 40 million people. Indisputably, Joseph Stalin terrorised Russian civilians in an almost unprecedented manner. Banner of Stalin in Budapest in 1949. He systematically eliminated all opposition, crushing anyone who threatened the stability of his regime.

His random “purges” and constant stream of executions ensured that civilians were far too weak and afraid to oppose any significant threat. Even his own men were terrified of him, as exemplified by the reluctance of those working in his dacha to enter his office, following his death. Nevertheless, despite his tyrannical behaviour, the majority of Russians were wholly loyal to him; whether due to incredible propaganda or his military triumphs over Nazi Germany many Russians truly rallied around the despotic leader. Therefore, as a leader, Stalin was a Machiavellian miracle.

The Emperor Justinian
The Julio-Claudians
Content: Gaius Marius’s Marian Reforms of 107 BC changed the army from an armed upper class into a professional body through which every Roman could aspire to social advancement and even riches. Bust of Gaius Marius whose military reforms contributed to the remarkable success of the Roman armies. The Roman legionary’s loyalty to and trust of military structures was enormous. Loyal men follow orders. Rome’s military was supremely adaptable, quickly changing to the challenge in front of it, but here are three tactics that stood the test of time. 1. The testudo
It’s easy to see where the “tortoise” formation got its name. Their uniquely large scuta, as the Romans’ shields were called, allowed them to present a 360-degree wall of wood to opponents. Dan finds out what's going on with recent excavations at Vindolanda, one of the largest Roman forts near Hadrian's Wall. All manner of discoveries have been made, including the largest collection of Roman footwear found anywhere in the world.

Content: 13th century painting of Kublai Khan, founder of the Yuan dynasty in China (Credit: Araniko / Artdaily). The most powerful khanate was the Mongol Yuan dynasty in China (1271-1368), established by Genghis Khan’s grandson Kublai Khan (1260–1294). The empire broke apart in the 14th century, when the four khanates all succumbed to destructive dynastic disputes and the armies of their rivals. By becoming part of the sedentary societies they had previously conquered, the Mongols lost not only their cultural identity but also their military prowess. The legacy of the Mongols
The Mongols’ greatest legacy on world culture was to make the first serious connections between the East and West. Previously the Chinese and Europeans had viewed each other’s lands as a semi-mythical place of monsters. The vast Mongol Empire stretched across one-fifth of the globe, across which the Silk Routes paved the way for communication, trade and knowledge. British Museum Curator St John Simpson talks about the Sasanian empire, the Silk Road and new archaeological evidence for trade and movement across the frontiers of Late Antiquity. Watch Now
As missionaries, merchants and travellers like Marco Polo (1254-1324) freely crossed to Asia, contact increased and ideas and religions were spread.

Gunpowder, paper, printing, and the compass were introduced to Europe. Genghis Khan was also known to have granted religious freedom to his subjects, abolished torture, established universal law and created the first international postal system. It has been estimated that a total of around 40 million deaths can be attributed to Genghis Khan’s wars. However the exact number is unknown – partly because the Mongols themselves deliberately propagated their vicious image. Tags:

6 Ways Julius Caesar Changed Rome and the World

1. Caesar’s rule helped turn Rome from a republic into an empire
2. Caesar expanded Rome’s territories
3. Emperors were to become god-like figures
4. He introduced Britain to the world and to history
5. Caesar’s historical influence is greatly increased by his own writings
6. Caesar’s example has inspired leaders to try to emulate him
Content: Watch Now
Sulla before him had also had strong individual powers, but Caesar’s appointment as Dictator for life made him an emperor in all but name. His own chosen successor, Octavian, his great nephew, was to become Augustus, the first Roman Emperor. 2. Caesar expanded Rome’s territories
The rich lands of Gaul were a huge and valuable asset for the Empire. By stabilising the territories under imperial control and giving rights to new Romans he set the conditions for later expansion that would make Rome one of history’s great empires. 3. Emperors were to become god-like figures
Temple of Caesar. Caesar was the first Roman to be granted divine status by the state. This honour was to be granted to many Roman Emperors, who could be proclaimed gods on their death and did what they could to link themselves to their great predecessors in life. This personal cult made the power of institutions like the Senate much less important – if a man could win public popularity and demand the loyalty of the military he could become Emperor.

Content: The Republic suffered defeat after defeat, some catastrophic. Panic gripped Rome, with the phrase terror cimbricus being used to describe the mood of the people. Then in 107 BC a saviour emerged. This was Gaius Marius, elected consul for the first time that year, the first of seven times he held the office. He surveyed the debris of Rome’s military response to the crisis and concluded that the main issue was the organisation of the legions themselves. He felt them too unwieldy for this new kind of warfare, fighting hoards of ‘barbarians’ marauding across the countryside in their many thousands. He therefore resolved to turn each individual legion into a self-contained fighting force, with little or no supply train. In that way they could manoeuvre at a strategic level more quickly than their opponents, bringing them to battle on the best terms.

How did Marius reform the Roman military? In the first instance he standardised the legionary on the gladius and pilum -armed armed principes and hastati of the Polybian legions, with the spear-armed triarii and javelin-armed velites disappearing entirely. From that point all of the fighting men in a legion were simply called legionaries, numbering 4,800 out of a total 6,000 men in each legion. The remaining 1,200 troopers were support personnel. These carried out a wide variety of roles, ranging from engineering to administration, which enabled the legion to function autonomously. A painting depicting the Battle of Vercellae in 101 BC, where Marius defeated the Cimbri with his newly-reformed legions.

Why did the English want colonies?
Content: One of these ways was to invest in colonies. At the same time these Englishmen were looking for ways to invest their wealth, others were not so fortunate. The small farmers, who for generations had rented their small plots of land from large landowners, lost their farms and their jobs when the land was enclosed with fences to raise sheep. Men, women and children were uprooted and drifted from the countryside to towns and cities looking for work. Many were reduced to begging or to stealing to survive. Migrating to a new world seemed a hopeful choice for many of these people, as it did for English leaders who saw colonies as a way to solve the problem of the growing numbers of displaced and poor people. Employments of Englishmen, Theodor de Bry
England also looked at the settlement of colonies as a way of fulfilling its desire to sell more goods and resources to other countries than it bought. If colonies could send raw materials, such as lumber, from the abundance of natural resources available in the colonies, then England would not have to buy these from other countries. At the same time, the colonists could be a market for England’s manufactured goods. The English knew that establishing colonies was an expensive and risky business.

On May 14, 1969, the final segment of Interstate 5 in Washington opens for traffic. The $9.8 million section of freeway runs four miles between Marysville and Everett (Snohomish County), and includes 11 bridges. With its opening, motorists can travel without stopping from the Canadian border to the northern California state line. The Final Piece
As the automobile gained traction in America during the early twentieth century, so did a network of expanding highways across the country. Individual states handled road construction, and though the federal government provided matching funds in many cases, it still was not enough to fund sufficient construction to keep up with the soaring numbers of automobiles. By the 1950s bigger and better highways were needed, and in 1956 the federal government became more actively involved in funding them when it passed the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, which provided 90 percent funding for a nationwide network of high-speed, limited access roads. This led to the beginning of Interstate 5 (I-5) in Washington. The first segment of I-5 formally opened in Tacoma in December 1960, and despite some protests, construction proceeded apace through the decade.

In January 1967 the final freeway section from Everett to Tacoma was completed, linking the greater Seattle metropolitan area. But just north of Everett, another segment of I-5 remained incomplete, and would turn out to be the last piece of the freeway to be finished in Washington. This last segment stretched four miles, from the southern end of Marysville to the northern edge of Everett at the Snohomish River. The four-mile section cost $9.8 million (approximately $58 million in 2010 dollars) to build, and included 11 bridges in its short stretch. More than 1.7 million cubic yards of dirt was moved during its construction.

The Olympic Games took birth in ancient Greece and are considered to be a coveted sports event in modern world. The Olympics first started in 776 BC in Olympia, an ancient Greek city. The city played host to a varied number of sports every four years. The games were all dedicated to Greek gods, specially their supreme God-Zeus. The sports that were played included wrestling, long jump, javelin, short put, boxing and running. Initially the event was held for a whole day but later on, four days were made mandatory for playing in the Olympics. Modern Olympics sees over 165 nations competing and representing their countries. 2.

"Having restored the unity of the Empire, and, being in course of major governmental reforms as well as of sponsoring the consolidation of the Christian church, he was well aware that Rome was an unsatisfactory capital. Rome was too far from the frontiers, and hence from the armies and the Imperial courts, and it offered an undesirable playground for disaffected politicians. Yet it had been the capital of the state for over a thousand years, and it might have seemed unthinkable to suggest that the capital be moved to a different location. Nevertheless, he identified the site of Byzantium as the right place: a place where an emperor could sit, readily defended, with easy access to the Danube or the Euphrates frontiers, his court supplied from the rich gardens and sophisticated workshops of Roman Asia, his treasuries filled by the wealthiest provinces of the Empire. "Constantinople was built over six years, and consecrated on 11 May 330. Constantine divided the expanded city, like Rome, into 14 regions, and ornamented it with public works worthy of an imperial metropolis. Yet, at first, Constantine's new Rome did not have all the dignities of old Rome. It possessed a proconsul, rather than an urban prefect.

Although it did have senators, they held the title clarus, not clarissimus, like those of Rome. It also lacked the panoply of other administrative offices regulating the food supply, police, statues, temples, sewers, aqueducts, or other public works. The new programme of building was carried out in great haste: Columns, marbles, doors, and tiles were taken wholesale from the temples of the Empire and moved to the new city.

The WWI Home Front: War Hysteria & the Persecution of German-Americans
Content: A second large wave of German immigration started around 1830 and climaxed around 1854. By 1875, Germany had become a wheat importing country. German farmers became superfluous and immigrated to the U.S. , and German craftsmen, artisans, and shopkeepers whose livelihood depended on them followed. From 1881-1892, approximately 1,700,000 Germans arrived in America. Some had fled to avoid compulsory military service in Germany, now forged into a new nation by Otto von Bismarck. By the outbreak of WWI, a majority of these German immigrants prospered in America. They farmed in the Midwest, but also became urban workers. Despite American stereotypes of German-Americans, they were actually very diverse. Some Germans assimilated quickly. Others, like German Catholics and Lutherans, believed that the preservation of their faith depended on maintaining German language and culture.

Despite American stereotypes of German-Americans, they were actually very diverse. Some Germans assimilated quickly. Others, like German Catholics and Lutherans, believed that the preservation of their faith depended on maintaining German language and culture. They also believed that German culture could be infused to American culture and improve it. To that end, the churches operated their own schools, and German-American communities published newspapers in German. Puck magazine cover from the 1900 election asking, "How Will Our German-American Vote?" German-American newspaper, The Fatherland, 1915
1898 Sheet Music: John Bull and Uncle Sam celebrate the Great Rapprochement
Some of these newspapers did react to a growing sense of Anglo-Saxonism in the United States (the attitude, among English-descended Americans, that their culture was superior to all others) by promoting German nationalism.

There are many other effects one can attribute to WW1, but the fact of the matter is that after this devastating war, the world would never be the same again. Many historians agree that WW1 created an atmosphere that allowed the rise of the Nazi Party and the start of WW2. How Many People Died in World War 1? World War One was one of the deadliest conflicts in the history of the human race, in which over 16 million people died. The total number of both civilian and military casualties is estimated at around 37 million people. The war killed almost 7 million civilians and 10 million military personnel.

Two out of three soldiers died in battle, the rest died due to infections or disease. The Spanish flu also killed a lot of people in prisoner camps. The total number of civilian deaths is very hard to determine, unlike military deaths, which were better documented. Because of the war, many people suffered from disease and malnutrition because of food shortages brought about by a disruption in trade.

The Marshall Plan in the Cold War was a strategy to turn former WW2 enemies into allies by rebuilding their shattered economies. One of the enduring myths of early Cold War history involves the so-called Marshall Plan laid out by Secretary of State George Marshall in 1947. With Western Europe in economic ruin, some American policymakers suggested that massive injections of aid were necessary in order to jump-start those economies. An anti-Communist rationale was also offered for the program: Since Communism was thought to thrive amid conditions of poverty and despair, economic recovery in Western Europe would undercut whatever attraction Communist propaganda might hold there.

The Marshall Plan in the Cold War
The fact is that this program worked no better than any other government giveaway program. France, Germany, and Italy began their economic recoveries before any Marshall aid was disbursed. Austria and Greece, which received sizable amounts of Marshall aid per capita, began to recover only as it was being phased out. Britain received twice the Marshall aid that Germany did, yet British economic growth lagged far behind Germany’s over the next decade. West Germany’s postwar economic recovery was so explosive, in fact, that the Germans actually coined a word—Wirtschaftwünder—to describe it.

Content: He held true to his promise, and the new domestic programs that were enacted in the U.S. between 1933 and 1938 formed part of what people started to refer to as the “New Deal.” These programs included executive decisions made by President Roosevelt and the laws that Congress passed in the time. The ultimate goal was what sholars call the three “Rs”: Relief for the suffering, Recovery from a bad economy and a Reform that will prevent a crash like this to happen ever again. Achievements of the New Deal
Job Creation – By 1933, one in four Americans were jobless. Through the New Deal, a couple of government agencies were created that gave work to thousands of people and made the government the largest employer in the U.S. Work meant regular income, which was very important for struggling families. Public Works – Another form of job creation was the establishment of better public works, such as city halls, theaters, homes, airports, parks, highways and bridges. Upliftment – The New Deal brought a sense of belonging and hope and inspired people to help reshape the public sphere. People working for New Deal felt they were investing in society by serving their communities. Economic recovery – After the Stock market crash the country was in dire straits financially.

Influence of the Enlightenment on the French Revolution

Content: in 1756 the French fought with the Americans against British. This caused the government run low on money at a time when prices were high. This contributed to the overall causes leading up to the revolution because it outraged the peasants to be so burdened that they could not afford to eat. On top of that they had failed crops which further increased the price of the essential commodities. All this lead to unrest and food riots. In 1700, the price of essential things increased so much that the wages of the workers could not match with the price of the commodities. So the families could not afford food and other basic necessities with such low incomes. This is long term causes which lead to French revolution as there was a lot of discontentment among the masses. In 1787-88, the harvests were very bad due to very severe cold winters. Thousands of people suffered because there was not enough food.

Content: Instead, the number of crimes committed by older people dropped first. Nearly 60% of the decline in murder since 1990 involved killers aged 25 and older—who were born before Roe v. Wade.5
Other nations with high abortion rates had a large increase in crime about 18 years after legalizing abortion, as Murray found. For example, in Great Britain, which legalized abortion in 1968, violent crime
rose steeply from about 1985 to 2000―exactly when it should have been declining, according to the Donohue‑Levitt thesis. However, in the past 20 years, the incidents of violent crime have begun declining. Additionally, Russia, which has the highest abortion rate on earth—then and now—experienced a tidal wave of every kind of violent crime following the breakup of the Soviet Union. This is a trend that has, since 2000, begun to decline. Teen murder rates were higher for teens born after the legalization of abortion . Statistics show that the murder rate in 1993 for 14- to 17-year-olds in the US (born in the years 1975‑1979, which had very high abortion rates) was 3.6 times higher than that of kids who were the same age in 1984 (who were born in the pre‑legalization years of 1966‑1970). According to a Child Trends report, as of 2017, homicides declined in the 1990s, but then began to fluctuate over the next 20 years, though never getting as high as the 80’s rate. As of 2017, it was 8.7 per 100,000.

Since black women have abortions at a much higher rate than white women, we should have expected the murder rate among black youth to have declined beginning in about 1991. Instead, it increased more than 500% from 1984 to 1993. 6
Crime rates rose when abortion rates were constant. If abortion reduces crime, the crime rate should have been relatively stable during the time period 1980 to 1991.

Instead, the crime rate rose during the time period 1984 to 1991, after a decline from 1980 to 1984. Further, the crime rate over the past 20 years has continued to decline. Researchers believed that the huge increase in violent crime that peaked in 1991 and then began to decline was more closely related to the crack epidemic, not abortion. The Donohue‑Levitt study confirms that the crime rate rose and fell exactly where crack cocaine was most easily available―in the large cities and among young black males. 6
Donohue and Levitt’s 2019 Study
In May 2019, Donohue and Levitt reexamined data from their first paper and published a working paper entitled “ The Impact of Legalized Abortion on Crime over the Last Two Decades .”

Content: According to data reported by the FBI in 2019: “ The violent crime rate fell 49% between 1993 and 2019, with large decreases in the rates of robbery (-68%), murder/non-negligent manslaughter (–47%) and aggravated assault (–43%) … [while] property crime rate fell 55%, with big declines in the rates of burglary (–69%), motor vehicle theft (–64%) and larceny/theft (–49%).” Obviously, crime rates vary from city to city and from state to state. The population density and economic conditions of individual cities play a huge role in crime rate. But can it be said that this decline is due to decriminalized abortion? According to a report published by the Guttmacher Institute in 2019, abortion rates during the period of 2011-2017 have fallen. During this time period, abortions fell by 196,000. This decrease likely has multiple factors, including tougher abortion restrictions, clinic closures, and the expansion of pro-life pregnancy care resources. Critics of both the 2001 Donohue-Levitt study and the 2019 paper remind people that correlation does not equal causation. They cite other reasons—such as the war on drugs, a stronger economy, a tougher police force, and gentrification—that could all contribute to the decrease in the national crime rate.

The message asks recipients to show their support for troops by refusing to buy Starbucks products in protest of the company’s policy. The message began circulating in 2004 after Marine Sergeant Howard C. Wright sent it to a group of friends who then passed it on to others. The message soon spread around the world and continues to circulate years after it was first sent. However, Sergeant Wright did not receive the refusal letter from Starbucks personally. Instead, he heard reports of the supposed refusal,
Dear Readers, along with suggestions that Starbucks did not support the war, from others and these reports subsequently turned out to be incorrect. Sergeant Wright was later contacted directly by Starbucks after the company became aware of the email rumor.

Content: Control Parasites
Our pigs live outdoors and are moved to new land on a regular basis, so parasites aren’t typically a problem for us. However, if your pig will be in one spot for long periods of time, you should consider administering a dewormer. Consult a vet for advice. 6. Prevent Anemia
Some vets recommend iron shots to prevent anemia in piglets, but these can result in diarrhea and other side effects. Some farmers choose to forgo the shot, instead putting some dirt in the piglets pen to allow them to root around and obtain iron from the dirt. Goat’s milk has the most highly available iron uptake of animal milks; however, it’s still not adequate, so we use the dirt method on our farm. Other practices common in large-scale pig operations include docking tails, clipping needle teeth and castrating boars. These are areas you might want to research further to see if they make sense for your farm.

Over the years, the Dutch learned from their mistakes and combined local elements such as eaves and porticos to their buildings. Slowly neoclassical and neo-gothic influence began to seep into architecture, with the inclusion of columns and verandahs. This was most prominent in the Catholic churches in Java and its provinces. The Blenduk Church in Semarang and the Jakarta cathedral are fine examples of this style. Source
4. Post-Independence Architecture in Indonesia
From the 1970s onward the International Style began to emerge in Indonesia, characterized by skyscrapers made of glass, steel and concrete. Ornaments were rejected, replaced by transparency and balance in most structures. Examples include the famous Hotel Indonesia and the Aceh Tsunami Museum. The government began to promote indigenous forms of architecture during this time, which led to a cultural fusion in many places.

The government began to promote indigenous forms of architecture during this time, which led to a cultural fusion in many places. Modern buildings were topped with Minangkabau style roofs or the Meru-style multi-tiered roofs, as is seen in the University of Indonesia and state offices in Padang. In contemporary times, the country has embraced all facets of its history and culture; this is what makes its architecture so diverse and captivating to tourists from all over the world. Source
The architecture of Indonesia, with its churches, mosques, and temples, mirrors its cultural evolution. The country has a lot to offer to the millions of visitors who come there looking for something unique.

How to Develop Good Character Traits
Control your Thoughts
Be Humble Always
Build Integrity
Be Disciplined
Nourish Your Spirituality
Show Respect
Nurture Relationships
Feeling Stressed?
Content: Controlling thoughts is a delicate process, a habit that requires self-discipline and a resolve to be a better person. Be Humble Always
Not everyone understands the virtue of humility and what benefits it affords those who exhibit it. Humility is to be modest, devoid of pride, respecting the wishes of others as well as meekness. To build a good character you must understand what humility is all about and how you can influence others through it. Humility is golden, nothing can compare with it. Humility enables us to see ourselves as equal to others. To accept our flaws and mistakes. It is not easy to accept one’s mistakes as many of us enjoy hearing good things about ourselves rather than the truth. However, accepting them helps us take responsibility for them and deal with them accordingly. With this, we develop a better integrity and our character grows to even higher levels.

Title: 5 home remedies for nail growth | Holland & Barrett
Headings:
Lemon juice
Coconut oil
Apple cider vinegar
Garlic oil
Honey
Last updated: 22 March 2021
Content: Fill a foot bath or large bowl with equal parts apple cider vinegar and warm water. Soak your feet for at least 20 minutes, before patting dry with a clean towel. Shop Apple Cider Vinegar
Garlic oil
Garlic is rich in selenium, which helps promote nail growth. You could either rub your fingernails with a sliced piece of garlic, or if that is too pungent for you, you could make your own garlic oil to use as a nail mask. To do this, sauté chopped or minced garlic in a pan with some olive oil in a pan for 10 minutes, taking care that the oil does not bubble or smoke. Let the oil cool, and strain the oil into a glass container, discarding the garlic pieces. You can massage this oil into your nails and cuticles every night, before rinsing off in the morning. Remember, massage stimulates blood flow which helps deliver nutrients from your bloodstream to your nails. Honey
Honey helps fight bacterial and fungal growth, and can help keep your nails and cuticles nourished and supple. Combine honey’s hydrating properties with those of lemon juice to create a honey and lemon nail mask by mixing 2 teaspoons of honey with a few drops of lemon juice, and massaging into your nails before leaving for 15-20 minutes.

Content: Bee has been very vocal in speaking out against Trump and his travel ban. On her Feb. 1 show, she gave a lesson on the difference between immigrants and refugees and then outlined Trump's executive order, or "the executive hairball that Trump's team coughed up for him to sign" that bans refugees for 120 days or longer. "I won't mention that this refugee ban is immoral, embarrassing and inhuman. I'll just point out that it is the act of a giant pussy," she concluded. " Here is a man who's afraid of germs, stairs, books, unprocessed food, women, birds, Muslims, Russian pee tapes, inner cities and, of course, strong winds. But he can't recognize the courage of people who survived literal war zones to come to a new country, start over with nothing and keep going each day despite the contempt with which we're horrible enough to treat them." "You want a Muslim ban? We know you do, so say it already," she said to Trump. " Own your pointless cruelty. That is why America voted for you … except for the majority of America that didn't."

Several stars pledged to leave the country if Donald Trump was elected president. Many said they'd move to Canada (Lena Dunham, Snoop Dogg), some suggested Europe (Spain for Amy Schumer, Italy for Omari Hardwick) or Africa (Samuel L. Jackson), and one even said Jupiter would be the ideal destination (Cher).

Content: Nothing. None of us were paid a dollar. We would have had to pay a lot more because we are fortunate enough to make a high income. But we all wanted to do it to take care of the people in need. She was fighting to take care of you kicking and screaming babies. Yelling about emails you know nothing about and not liking her clothes or her hair she wanted to protect you even you. Well you've gotten what you asked for and now you can watch the sky open up. Literally. I am furious. I cry for her and for all the smart people I love who know what's right and I cry for you people who fell for shiny hats and reality catch phrases.

Content: I will never call this person elected by my lost country ANYthing but Donald,” He went on to write that about how concerned he was for his children, but has yet to make a comment about his plans to move. We have searched far & wide for almost 4 yrs for a qualified, smart, open minded, loving, strong TRUSTWORTHY Nanny to help us secure the greatest most precious gifts God could ever loan us. Now, @mrsjaeh & i have been forced to add to that dubious task in searching far & wide for an equally qualified president for a country i have never given up on but always felt disappointed by. We went from 1 of the great presidents of our history (whether believed by some or not) to a clown. We will go from perhaps the greatest first family & first lady the White House ever housed to perhaps the worst. I walked in from work last night about 7pm with a bad feeling about the way the night would go. I was told i was off. I was proven obviously not off. I have grossly witnessed for 8 years OUR president (whethe

Title: Americans Think All Network News Channels Lean Liberal, Poll Finds | Hollywood Reporter
Headings: Americans Think All Network News Channels Lean Liberal, Poll Finds
Americans Think All Network News Channels Lean Liberal, Poll Finds
Also: Some 66 percent of U.S. adults think cable news is full of "unnecessary" filler segments, a THR/Morning Consult survey shows.
Content: As for cable news outlets, 53 percent of Americans think CNN is credible while 52 percent think the same of Fox News. Some 46 percent of respondents replied that they found MSNBC to be credible. Asked whether "the pressure to fill time leads to unnecessary segments on cable news," about 66 percent of Americans replied that they did think there was a lot of filler on 24/7 news networks. ( So far this year, in the 9 pm ET/6 pm PT time slot, Fox News' Hannity tops cable news with 3.12 million average viewers, while MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show follows with 3.06 million and CNN's Chris Cuomo Prime Time trails at 1.29 million.) The THR /Morning Consult survey also looked at Americans' perceptions of news outlets' political leanings. Among the 11 national news outlets in the survey, respondents thought only one of these brands, Fox News, leaned "more conservative" than liberal. Network news channels like ABC, CBS and NBC, which strive toward impartiality in their reporting, were perceived by a significant margin to be "more liberal" in their political lean than neutral. Sinclair adds, "Outside of their local news, Republicans find Fox News the most credible out of all mainstream media outlets and CNN the least credible. In contrast, Democrats are most likely to find Fox News least credible and CNN and the three major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) most credible." And when national newspapers do label their reporting as "opinion," more Americans, about 49 percent, trust the conservative-leaning Wall Street Journal 's op-ed page more than the columns and editorials from The New York Times or The Washington Post .

Summary
Drywall Repair
Content: The first thing you will need to do when you cut drywall is to size the piece. A tape measure and utility knife are the tools for this. For a patch where you are fitting into a cut out you want to size the piece 1/8" to 1/4" smaller than the hole you are filling. Get your measurements for the piece first. If you want use that old carpenter rule, measure twice, cut once. To begin your cut you score the paper on the face side of the drywall. For a piece that is close to four feet wide you want to cut clear across the four foot dimension of the drywall. After you have done that you break the piece back and cut the paper on the back side. Repeat this step to size the piece the other way. Keeping cuts straight when using a utility knife to cut drywall can be challenging.

What Stays: Anything Built-in
What Can Stay: Certain Appliances and Furnishings
What Goes: Your Personal Belongings
Interested in buying or selling?
Content: For example, if your house has built-in bookshelves, you should leave those shelves for the buyer. The same is true of any fireplaces, bathroom fixtures and kitchen fixtures. You should also leave behind wall-to-wall carpeting and other flooring, hardware such as doorknobs and drawer pulls, light fixtures and any security systems or alarms, such as carbon monoxide monitors and smoke alarms. Items outside of the home should also be left behind if they are in the ground. For example, unless you specifically state that you are taking these, any bushes, trees and other in-ground plants should be left with the house. What Can Stay: Certain Appliances and Furnishings
You don’t have to leave behind your refrigerator or other purchased appliances, such as the washer and dryer or dishwasher, but a lot of sellers do. Buyers sometimes anticipate that the appliances will stay, so if you do plan to take your refrigerator or washer and dryer, it’s a good idea to put that in writing before closing so that you and the buyer are on the same page. Not sure what the best move is? Read this for more appliance advice.
