The cultural meaning of gender difference varies across different cultures. Historically, gender difference has been linked with gender inequality, or the relationship of the status of women to their often-dominant male counterparts. Gender difference is determined by social and biological factors, but as the emphasis put on these factors changes, the significance of gender difference in society also changes. Explore this article Gender Difference Through Time The Biological Basis for Gender Difference The Social Basis of Gender Difference. Gender Difference in the Future 1 Gender Difference Through Time Gender difference as a cultural concept primarily describes the status of women in society relative to their often-dominant male counterparts. Women's status has historically been determined in large part by their contribution to production. For roughly the first 99 percent of their existence, over three to four million years, humans were hunter-gatherers living in tribes. These tribes were egalitarian because, as foragers, women contributed the primary share of resources.

The administrator identifies and articulates a school's mission and goals and makes them happen by implementing programs, delegating tasks and allocating resources. The effective leader is visionary, collaborative and passionate about the field of educational administration. Tip Educational administration is the study and practice of managing the resources, tasks and communications involved in running a school. The school administration definition applies to leadership of private or public institutions of learning. Roles of Educational Administrators The top administrator, whether she's called superintendent, head of school, president or principal, is the institution's equivalent of a chief executive officer in business. She takes an active role in personnel issues, budget decisions, curriculum planning and setting policy that staff and students will abide by. Administrators are responsible for setting the institution's tone and serve as its public face. School districts, colleges and universities often employ assistant administrators to be responsible for budget, curriculum and personnel. Still other educational administrators work in research and policy-making roles in governmental and private departments and organizations where students typically never set foot.

Leaderships Careers in Education Many a teacher takes a look at the way things are being run and either admires or detests it so much that he decides to go for that master's and become a decision maker. To make this decision less difficult, practically speaking, many graduate programs are designed to accommodate the needs of working teachers seeking senior level careers in education. Aspiring educational administrators need to prepare themselves for long days during which they'll handle a variety of problems and successes and be the one held responsible in good times and bad.

Sacraments are acts of worship which use physical symbols to represent spiritual ideas. Holy Communion is a Christian sacrament in which bread and wine are used to represent the body and blood of Jesus Christ, which Christians believe was sacrificed for them during Christ's crucifixion. Presbyterians and Catholics both practice communion, but there are several differences in both their understanding of the nature of communion and in their practice of taking communion. Explore this article Transubstantiation or Testimony Participation in Catholic Communion Participation in Presbyterian Communion Method and Frequency 1 Transubstantiation or Testimony For Catholics, Holy Communion -- also called the "Eucharist" -- is the most important sacrament. The Eucharist is central to their beliefs and to their church services. They believe that when a person properly receives communion, the bread and wine become the actual body and blood of Jesus Christ. This teaching is known as "transubstantiation." For Catholics, forgiveness of sin and grace are received during communion.

During this ratification process, both those for and against the Constitution promoted their position. Those for ratification were the Federalist party and those against the present Constitution were the Anti-Federalists. The Federalists won the ultimate battle when the Constitution received the required votes from the states.

Throughout the remainder of 1787 and into 1788, when the Constitution passed, two competing camps debated the merits of the new set of laws. 3 Anti-Federalists Beliefs The Anti-Federalists believed the Constitution took too much power from the citizens. Anti-Federalists claimed the Executive could become a monarch. To them the nation, as well, was too large as a single unit. Historically, the Anti-Federalists pointed out no large republic had ever been sustained. They also believed that slavery that had been written into the Constitution to placate certain Southern states, violated the spirit of the American Revolution. Their last main belief was that the Constitution in its original form did not include a Bill of Rights. Anti-Federalists wanted this set of written guarantees of what powers people have to protect their liberty from the government. 4 Federalist Party Beliefs Federalists believed the Constitution provided for both a strong national government and an empowered citizenry.

The existence of three co-equal branches prevented an abuse of privilege by any one political institution. For example, the Executive branch though the Commander-in-Chief of the military, could not declare war. Justices of the Supreme Court, though nominated for life tenure, were chosen by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Congress possessed the authority to write laws but the Supreme Court could ultimately strike the laws down. Though they felt it unnecessary, to ensure ratification by the required nine states, the Federalists promised that a first order of business for Congress would be passing a Bill of Rights.

Many fathers embraced the role of the breadwinner and spent more and more time away from the home. Father knew best when it came to discipline and was still technically the head of the household, but mothers were the primary caregivers of the children and managed the day-to-day household needs and chores. 2 More Than A Mother Women earned the right to vote during this decade, and more of them also began working outside of the home for the first time. Young women gained more freedom and rebelled in minor ways, including how they dressed and spoke. Gender roles started to blur as mothers were not expected to stay home every day and women were not viewed as having no employment skills outside of the home. Even with these advancements, the majority of families in the 1920s consisted of a father who was the wage earner and a mother whose job it was to stay home and take care of the house and children. 3 Children Were Children Before the 1920s, adults viewed children as smaller adults that should be working and not being educated. Many children did not attend school, but instead stayed home to help work on the farm or around the house. During the 1920s, education reform greatly improved public schooling for children, and education became more valued.

Explore this article 1 Forms of Liberalism 2 Dominant Themes 3 Government's Role in Society 4 Overlapping Values Content: Explore this article Forms of Liberalism Dominant Themes Government's Role in Society Overlapping Values 1 Forms of Liberalism Democrats have long been known as the liberal party in the United States, whereas Republicans are often more socially and fiscally conservative. Democrats tend to support progressive social causes, a stronger taxation system and social programs based on community responsibility. The democratic sense of "liberal" refers to social liberalism, an ideology that seeks a balance between individual liberty, social justice and the common good. Like classical liberalism, social liberalism supports a market economy and expansion of civil rights to all citizens. However, social liberalism says government should be involved in addressing issues such as poverty and access to education and health care. 2 Dominant Themes While Democrats have maintained broad appeal, over the years they have received much of their support from lower-income workers, laborers, ethnic minorities and social liberals. Some of this support has to do with the party's focus on favoring business regulations and a progressive approach to taxation. Such measures, the party says, increase market fairness, prevent unfair labor practices and fund social programs intended to help the disadvantaged. Since the 1930s, the Democrats have focused on the advancement of welfare programs, civil rights and abortion rights. Broadly, on foreign policy matters, Democrats are seen as less hawkish than their Republican counterparts.

They are more likely to believe government initiatives and regulations can develop the economy and reduce business practices they argue negatively affect average Americans. Republicans, meanwhile, generally believe that the less government is involved with business, the more businesses can create jobs and thus reduce the need for social programs, which they say generate too much debt. On a national level, Republicans would generally prefer to have much of the federal government's regulatory power transferred back to states. Many Democrats have adopted a combination of these views.

Like many Republicans, socially conservative Democrats have expressed opposition to abortion and gay marriage. In 2010, 34 House Democrats voted with their Republican counterparts against President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, just as eight Senate Republicans voted with Democrats to repeal the ban on gays serving openly in the military. Congressional Democrats and Republicans have come together more closely in extreme situations -- they were in nearly full agreement on pursuing al-Qaida immediately after the Sept. 11 attacks -- and on matters where basic party values weren't at stake. Some libertarians, who are often associated with Republicans but more firmly support smaller government, have also found themselves in agreement with Democrats.

Groups such as the Hungarians, the Slovenes, the Serbs, and others ruled by the Austrian Habsburgs joined with leftist activists to rebel against the Austrian Empire. Though the revolution failed, Austrian Emperor Ferdinand I abdicated the throne to his 18-year old nephew Franz Joseph, who would rule Austria during what would become known as its golden age. The nationalist tremors, however, remained bubbling under the surfacefdescri of the Austrian Empire: In 1914, Serbian nationalists would assassinate Franz Joseph's nephew Archduke Franz Ferdinand, igniting World War I. 4 Germany and Other State Revolutions Like Italy, Germany was not a unified country in 1848. The revolutions occurred in various states led by those who sought to reform their governments. Many also sought to unify Germany. The German state of Prussia not only successfully put down its own revolution, but also helped other German states quell revolutions, thus establishing Prussia's dominance. When Germany was finally unified in 1871, it was under Prussia.

The revolutions occurred in various states led by those who sought to reform their governments. Many also sought to unify Germany. The German state of Prussia not only successfully put down its own revolution, but also helped other German states quell revolutions, thus establishing Prussia's dominance. When Germany was finally unified in 1871, it was under Prussia. When you look to describe the outcomes of the 1848 rebellions in Europe, Germany is a company that worked well with many citizens.

Hemera Technologies/AbleStock.com/Getty Images Throughout history, poets have used language to express their thoughts, feelings, ideas and perspectives. By using rhythm, rhyme, meter and line breaks, poets have addressed everything from the nature of love or the beauty of a spring day to complex social issues. By studying poetry, middle and high school students can gain a greater understanding, not only of literature and language, but of themselves and the world they live in. Explore this article Language Awareness Critical Analysis Creativity and Enthusiasm Community 1 Language Awareness Poetry can increase students' literacy and linguistic awareness, according Dr. Janette Hughes in a research report for the Literacy and Numeracy Secretariat of Ontario. Studying poetry can help students to expand their oral and written vocabularies. Reading and writing poetry also helps students to become more aware of the ways in which language can be used and the rhythms, images and meanings that can be created. 2 Critical Analysis According to a 2002 study by California Poets in Schools, students who study poetry in the classroom increase their skills of critical analysis. Poems use a variety of techniques — metaphor, imagery, rhyme and meter — to convey meaning. By identifying these techniques and thinking about how they function in the poem, students can develop their analytic and critical skills. Poems can also have multiple layers of meaning that readers must analyze carefully to understand.

Allowing students to write poetry for class encourages them to express themselves creatively. Though some students may not be motivated by writing academic papers, poetry allows them to play freely with words, rhythms and ideas. For example, Lewis Carroll's poem "Jabberwocky" uses made-up words like "mimsy" and "borogoves" to play creatively with rhythm, sound and language. 4 Community Poetry in the classroom helps students to connect to others.

Including deaf students in the regular classroom can be beneficial in terms of educational and social experiences. However, certain adaptations or considerations will be necessary to successfully include deaf students alongside their hearing peers. Explore this article Noise and Sound Sign Language Lip-Reading Group Work 1 Noise and Sound Many deaf students who will be integrated into a regular classroom have some residual hearing and also some language and speech capabilities. To make use of these skills, the classroom setup should be designed favorably for the deaf student or students in your class. Having deaf students sitting near the teacher can enable the instruction to be better heard. If a student has better hearing in one ear than the other, angle her work desk so that her better ear is closer to the teacher. Background noise can cause problems with hearing aids, so aim to minimize noise in the classroom and seat deaf students away from noisy implements such as an air-conditioning unit. 2 Sign Language Deaf children who use sign language to communicate typically participate in the mainstream classroom with the aid of a sign language interpreter. Teachers should speak directly to the student rather than addressing questions or requests to the interpreter.

Those factors are known as internal factors or personal factors. In addition, factors like social norms, family roles and cultural values make up external or social factors. Those factors, especially the external ones, can be influenced by trends and the environment. Explore this article Internal Factors External Factors Positive and Negative Effects of Advertising 1 Internal Factors Internal factors--also called personal factors--represent the consumer's ability to benefit directly from the product in question. A person's motivation to purchase or consume any given product is an internal factor, and it may rely on a person's desire to achieve goals related to other internal and external factors. Perception greatly determines a consumer's behavior, allowing them to justify one action or another based on the perceived outcomes. Use of perception to motivate a consumer can be as simple as showing young and attractive people who are obviously very happy and successful and who are using the product in question. 2 External Factors Social norms are a prominent external factor influencing consumer behavior. The prevalence of brand-name clothing or new trends in design and fashion, for example, affects what any individual consumer will choose for themselves.

Title: Lasting Impact of Romanticism | Synonym Headings: Lasting Impact of Romanticism Lasting Impact of Romanticism Explore this article 1 Nature 2 Childhood 3 Individualism 4 Imagination Content: For the Romantics, nature was innocent, something to protect against industrial development and urban expansion. This view placed children in a new perspective. The notion of children's proximity to nature remained the same, but its significance changed. The Romantics mourned maturing children's progressive acculturation and alienation from nature. They wished to mitigate the process that predecessors had striven to accelerate. The impulse to protect children's innocence -- the very notion of children's innocence -- is a Romantic legacy. 3 Individualism Attempts to recover the lost wisdom of childhood led Romantics to reflection and introspection. This fascination with subjectivity contributed to the Romantic Movement's veneration of individualism. Romantic individualism, however, is hardly confined to the period from 1770 to 1840. Writing in 1830, Victor Hugo called Romanticism "liberalism in literature," and despite 21st-century politics' specialized use of "liberalism," the term chiefly denotes an assumption of inborn autonomy, free will and personal liberty.

The shift began in 1865, when people began moving from farms and towns to the cities. While this opened up new possibilities in terms of employment, the sudden influx also created overpopulation and led to slums. Immigration came from all over the world, creating social and religious tension from non-Christian newcomers. These individuals were welcomed with hostility and discrimination. 3 Values and Conflicts As the population urbanized, new conflicts arose for different beliefs. The debate between evolution and religion became significant, eventually causing a divide between fundamentalists and moderate Christians.

Blair's new wording for the constitution does make clear that Labour is a "democratic socialist" party, however. Some major milestones of Blair's 1990s government included the devolution of Wales and Scotland, reform to the House of Lords and major progress in Northern Ireland peace accord with the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. Blair's Labour government won three successive elections, with the final victory in 2005. 3 Cultural Historian's View of the 1990s University lecturer and cultural historian, Alwyn Turner, believes the politics of the 1990s were "ill-tempered and intellectually sparse" with the Labour Party focus being mainly on "spin. "According to Turner the 1990s were more about social liberalism and the rise of the 1960s generation, which redefined society's norms. These changes were reflected in altered viewpoints on institutional roles in Britain and led to greater individuality. Turner believes Britons of the 1990s epitomized an overriding anti-establishment viewpoint and declining interest in the history of the country. 4 Britain in Europe Divisions over Europe and membership of the European Union plagued both of the U.K.'s governments in the 1990s. Foreign Secretary Geoffrey Howe announced his resignation from Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government in November 1990, directly leading to her downfall.

Title: Problems in Research: Quantitative & Qualitative Methods | Synonym Headings: Problems in Research: Quantitative & Qualitative Methods Problems in Research: Quantitative & Qualitative Methods Explore this article 1 Quantitative Research: Lack of Detail 2 Quantitative Research: Missing Variables 3 Qualitative Research: Subjectivity 4 Qualitative Research: No Generalization Content: Subjectivity Subjectivity -- one of the hallmarks of qualitative research -- is also one of its major flaws. The subjective nature of the information that can be gleaned from such methods as interviews and case studies means that they are open to misinterpretation and observer bias. For example, if you are performing an interview to investigate whether prisoners had abusive childhoods, observer bias could occur, in that the interviewees could exaggerate the negative aspects of their childhoods for sympathy or justification. Subjectivity is also an issue when analyzing data, because in qualitative research, data must be interpreted. Researchers could unwittingly interpret the data in a way that suggests what they wish to show. This can’t be done as easily with quantitative, numerical data. 4 Qualitative Research: No Generalization As a result of its subjective nature, its level of detail and its relatively small sample size, you cannot generalize qualitative findings to the population at large. Quantitative research can easily generalize data, because it can convert its finding into percentages and other mathematical expressions that can be extrapolated. Unfortunately, the detailed answers that qualitative research produces make them difficult to generalize to the population at large.

This in itself has caused controversy, but so has the actual teaching of religion in schools. The debate has included not only praying, but also the teaching of creationism versus evolution. Religion in schools is arguably still one of the most controversial aspects of the American education system. Explore this article Church and State Religious Freedom Promotion of Religious Aspects Multiculturalism and Exclusion Curriculum Voluntary Prayer 1 Church and State The U.S. Constitution prescribes the separation of church and state, and this is the main reason why organized prayer is banned in schools. While some people argue that separation of church and state has been taken out of context in the school prayer ban, the U.S. Supreme Court is the only body that can overrule this law. 2 Religious Freedom The U.S. Constitution also allows for religious freedom, allowing people to practice whatever faith they want without fear of persecution. Some view the limiting of religion in schools as a breach of this rule. 3 Promotion of Religious Aspects One of the key arguments in allowing the teaching of religion in schools is that it promotes the beneficial aspects of religion, not sectarianism. Allowing children religious freedom permits them to gain a level of spiritual enlightenment, and keeps them away from the temptations of peer pressure and gangs.

There is now a large and growing population of non-Christians in the U.S., including Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and Sikhs. If religion was taught in schools, people from different faiths could learn about each other, promoting harmony; however, organized prayer would exclude some students who are not of that faith.

The Puritans of England came to Massachusetts in hopes of living free from persecution for their religious beliefs. However, the Massachusetts colonists were unique in America because they were not only religious, but well-educated and wealthy. This distinctive combination eventually made Massachusetts one of the more influential colonies of early America. Explore this article Religious Motivation for Founding The Massachusetts Bay Charter The Founding of Boston Emphasis on Education 1 Religious Motivation for Founding In England, the Puritans did not completely sever ties with the Church of England but they did wish to “purify” the church. At that time in England, the persecution of dissenters of the Church of England continued to escalate. Puritans sought a new place where they could experience religious freedom and a greater degree of self-governance. In 1630, the pursuit of religious freedom drove a large group of Puritans from England to the Massachusetts Bay Colony. 2 The Massachusetts Bay Charter As persecution of the Puritans increased in England, Puritans searched for a leader and advocate for their religious position. The Puritans chose John Winthrop, a wealthy English lawyer, to negotiate a settlement between them and King James I of England.

Northern politicians objected to the annexation of such a large slave-holding state, while the South welcomed it. 3 Oregon Territory By 1820 the territory of present-day Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and portions of Montana, Wyoming and British Columbia was shared by Britain and the U.S. In 1845 the U.S. began negotiations to divide the territory at 49 degrees north latitude, bisecting Vancouver Island. Americans considered that the United States had a "manifest destiny" to expand across the continent. Democratic presidential candidate James K. Polk promoted an even more expansionist stance with his campaign slogan "54 40 or Fight!" calling for a border at 54 degrees, 40 minutes north latitude. The 1846 Treaty of Washington set the border at the 49th parallel, but ceded all of Vancouver Island to Britain. The acquisition gave the U.S. valuable grazing and farm land, mineral reserves and coastal ports. 4 Half of Mexico In the Mexican Cession, a result of the Mexican-American War, Mexico ceded more than 520,000 square miles to the United States.

Explore this article 1 Union Membership 2 Child Labor Laws 3 American Federation of Labor 4 Women's Labor Concerns Content: Employers attempted to combat the unions with John Sherman’s antitrust laws established in 1890, so the AFL sought legislation and political methods to exclude unions from those precedents. For example, Gompers convinced President Woodrow Wilson to create a wartime labor policy that supported independent trade unions and collective bargaining, including wage negotiations and better working conditions. During World War I, labor union membership reached peak numbers. The exact number is unknown but historians speculate it was in the millions. 4 Women's Labor Concerns Women benefited from labor union successes early in the 20th century. In 1900, several trade unions joined together to form the International Ladies Garment Workers Union in New York City that contained a large number of Jewish female immigrants. The women sought reform for better wages, safer working conditions and more acceptable work hours. The first national trade association for organizing women workers, known as the Women’s Trade Union League, was established in 1903. The WTUL included women from all socioeconomic classes who united and petitioned their employers for fair labor practices.

The laws distinctly spell out confidentiality responsibility in grades and medical information. 2 Grade Confidentiality Teachers have the responsibility to disclose student grades to the parent, but legally cannot make those grades public knowledge. Test scores, such as those from state issued exams, can be disclosed, but the teacher must remove all of the student’s personal information attached to the score. The exception to the grade confidentiality is with group grading that many teachers perform as a learning tool. According to the Texas Classroom Teachers Association, the U.S. Supreme court decided in 2002 that the practice, also known as peer grading, did not violate confidentiality laws and was actually beneficial to students in the classroom. Other than in peer grading situations, the teacher cannot share the students' grades with anyone other than the parent. 3 Medical Privacy Teachers do have access to the child’s medical files, but that information cannot be disclosed to anyone but the parent and the child. The teacher does have the responsibility to inform the parent of suspected medical issues that the child exhibits within the classroom. However, teachers are prohibited by FERPA laws from subjecting the child to tests without the parent’s consent.

Claiming that if women were to engage in political life, their dignity would be impaired, the Church argued that in opposing women's right to vote, it sought to protect and defend women. The Catholic Church has come a long way since then, and in fact today actively recruits Catholic women voters to lobby for the Church’s own political agenda. Explore this article St. Augustine Objection To Women's Suffrage Acceptance and Political Mobiization Swing Vote The Vatican Excepted 1 St. Augustine The Church’s opposition to women’s suffrage was rooted in ancient doctrine. St. Augustine, writing during the Roman Empire and among the most important Christian philosophers, used the story of the Garden of Eden to oppose women's rights. Citing Eve's guilt for the fall of humanity into sin, he justified her double subordination, both to God and man. With this he further argued that only men could represent rationality and spirituality; women, in contrast, represented the body and the material world. 2 Objection To Women's Suffrage Views about women began to change in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as they struggled for the right to vote, to obtain education and to work outside of the home. Yet the Catholic Church remained steadfast.

Some people believe that immigration should be encouraged and that it helps our economy as immigrants are willing to do jobs established citizens do not. For example, food service and maintenance jobs that are held by the young and the uneducated could be done by immigrants. The other side of the argument is that immigrants are taking away jobs from Americans as they come here looking for work. One could argue that young Americans should be working in food service or maintenance jobs for the experience and pay. There is no official ruling on which side of the argument is correct. Some people believe immigrants aversely affect American pay by accepting lower wages, while others argue that immigration raises wages. The debate rages on as economists publish the results of studies and as Congress and municipal governments pass new immigration legislation.

Until that time, women had been confined to the home in the traditional roles of wife and mother, but their lives began to reflect the growing trend of industrialization and technological developments. As a result of these advancements, women started entering the workforce in larger numbers, expecting better working conditions and wages, seeking higher education and demanding the right to vote. Explore this article Women in the Workforce Women's Suffrage World War I Resistance to Reform 1 Women in the Workforce At the start of the 20th century, 18.8 percent of women were employed outside the home, with many working in factories, as retail sales clerks, typists, nurses and schoolteachers. They often worked very long hours, were poorly paid and their daily working environment could be difficult and even unsafe. This led to the establishment of the Women's Trade Union League in 1903, which worked to develop better working conditions for women, and also encouraged women to join the labor movement. 2 Women's Suffrage The women's suffrage movement was making more inroads in the early 20th century. More than 20 states had already granted partial suffrage to women. This typically meant that voting rights were only granted to certain classes of women, who could only vote on certain matters, such as local issues concerning schools and bonds. They were barred from voting in congressional and presidential campaigns.

They began to work in nontraditional jobs as mechanics, police officers and truck drivers as necessary replacements for men who had left to fight in the war. The end of the war and the return of the men displaced women from these jobs but only after they had gotten a taste of new opportunities. 4 Resistance to Reform Many women breaking out of their traditional roles in the early 20th century faced enormous resistance from all levels of society, not the least of which came from other women who insisted they should remain in their traditional roles. Women who demonstrated and fought for labor reform, voting rights and birth control often faced arrest and discrimination.

Being smart alone is often not enough to move you up as without degrees or other education-related honors you can not prove your intelligence and erudition to others. 2 Present Yourself Professionally Those looking to advance their social position should always work towards presenting themselves professionally. This means that regardless of the type of outing you are preparing for, you should dress in a professional and polished manner. Even if you do not plan on seeing individuals that you know while out and about, you could easily run into them. Dress in a ready-to-be-seen manner at all times, and act with decorum so that anyone observing you can see that you are refined and of a high class. 3 Select Refined Pastimes As reported in the PBS program “People Like Us,” those in higher social classes often engage in very different pastimes than those in lower sections of society. Select classic pastimes that are popular with individuals of wealth, such as polo or cricket. These less common pastimes are often seen as more refined and, as such, make the participants appear to be of a higher social class. 4 Give to Charity Most individuals that are seen as social elite give a good portion of their earnings to charity.

Explore this article 1 Causes 2 The People's and the First Crusade 3 The Second Through Fourth Crusades 4 The Fifth Through Ninth Crusades 5 Effects Content: This crusade, called the People's Crusade, ultimately failed as a result of lack of training and proficient leadership. When the knights of the First Crusade made their voyage, they too experienced power struggles as well as violence on the road through the Middle East. By the time they reached Jerusalem, the Turks had been ousted by Egyptians, but this alteration did not deter the Christians from fighting for what they believed was their sacred city. After much fighting, the First Crusade was successful in winning over Muslim territory and momentarily establishing the Latin kingdom of Jerusalem. 3 The Second Through Fourth Crusades Although the first four Crusades are the most recognized of the nine, as well as the most well-orchestrated by the Church, fighting between Christians and Muslims endured for a total of 200 years. The Second Crusade, participated in by the French king Louis VII and the Holy Roman Emperor Conrad III, resulted in military failure with the only advances made in Portugal, where Lisbon was liberated from the Moors. The Third Crusade, which took place between 1189 and 1192, is recognized for the Christian's effort to take back Jerusalem from Saladin, the Muslim founder of the Ayyubid dynasty. For the Christians, this effort was ultimately a failure. The Fourth Crusade also was meant to recapture Jerusalem, but failed when Constantinople (the capital of the Byzantine empire) was sacked and fell in 1204. 4 The Fifth Through Ninth Crusades The Roman Catholic Church attempted to regain the Holy Land with the fifth through ninth Crusades, lasting into the 13th century.

Despite the fact that there were still religious footholds in Cyprus and Rhodes, the Crusading effort was quashed. 5 Effects Despite the fact that thousands were killed in the Christian effort to regain Jerusalem and the Holy Land, it is believed that there were positive effects resulting from the Crusades.

Better Prices And Government Policy Drive Consumer Demand So what’s powering this surge? “ Electric vehicles, including plug-in models, are becoming an increasingly important part of the global automotive market,” said Navigant’s Dave Hurst. “ Growth is being driven not only by the inherent appeal of the vehicles, but also by consumer demand.” As always, favorable economics are the prime ingredient for market expansion. Gasoline prices are projected to increase at a 7.2% CAGR between 2013 and 2020, while HEV and PHEV battery pack prices are expected to decrease 10% and 26% respectively by 2020 as advanced research unlocks battery innovations. Considering battery packs can represent up to half of EV prices, while the cost to recharge a car with electricity is a fraction of the cost compared to refueling with gasoline, it’s clear why Navigant sees lower EV operational costs as such a major market driver. But beyond better economics, electric-powered vehicles are becoming much more mainstream with more options available to consumers. From established models like the Chevy Volt, Nissan Leaf, and Tesla Model S to new options like the Chevy Spark EV and hybrids from most major automakers, EVs are available in almost every price and performance range. Navigant also credits steady government policy support for the rise in EV fortunes, expecting currently available tax incentives worldwide to remain steady and provide financial support for consumers, while stricter fuel economy and emissions regulations encourage automakers to continue expanding low-carbon options.

Crucially, it can help make 100% electric last mile delivery a reality for businesses and professional drivers everywhere.” On to the smart charging and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) offer: “ Over the past year in Denmark, Nissan has been testing this revolutionary new way of driving and today, this has become an offer open to all fleet customers throughout the country. Using Nissan bi-directional charging, customers can draw energy from the grid to power their car or van and then ‘sell’ back to the grid for others to use. This means, once a nominal charge has been paid by the business for the installation of a V2G charger there are no fuel or energy costs; just free power for your EV. “And Denmark is just the start. Nissan also announced a UK collaboration with OVO allowing customers to purchase an xStorage home energy unit at a discounted price enabling them to ‘sell’ back energy to the grid. This helps contribute to grid stability in a world where demand for energy is increasing due to a growing, urbanizing population.

Title: The Car & Beyond: 4 Pillars Of Nissan's Future Electric Ecosystem Headings: The Car & Beyond: 4 Pillars Of Nissan’s Future Electric Ecosystem Batteries The Car & Beyond: 4 Pillars Of Nissan’s Future Electric Ecosystem New Podcast: Forecasting EV Sales And EV Battery & Metal Prices — Interview with BloombergNEF's Head of Clean Power Research Written By Cynthia Shahan Content: This means, once a nominal charge has been paid by the business for the installation of a V2G charger there are no fuel or energy costs; just free power for your EV. “And Denmark is just the start. Nissan also announced a UK collaboration with OVO allowing customers to purchase an xStorage home energy unit at a discounted price enabling them to ‘sell’ back energy to the grid. This helps contribute to grid stability in a world where demand for energy is increasing due to a growing, urbanizing population. It can result in an additional expected income for users averaging £350 / €400 per year.” Tesla CTO JB Straubel contends this isn’t worth the hassle and costs. We’ll see what consumers say. Paul Willcox said: “ Step by step we are removing any barriers to electric vehicle adoption – from infrastructure investment, to how people access the power itself.”

And by letting people charge their vehicle and their home from each other, we can use our time and energy supplies more efficiently than ever.” Nissan Leaf sales keep going strong in the US despite the increasing competition — including from the next-gen LEAF. I can’t wait to see the charts in a year, once this year’s new Nissan LEAF is in mass production. Related Stories:

If you feel that you’re unsafe, you probably are. If you’re in immediate danger, call 911. Don’t communicate with the stalker or respond to attempts to contact you. Contact a crisis hotline, victim services agency or a domestic violence or rape crisis center. These resources can help you devise a safety plan, provide information about local laws and refer you to other services. In developing a safety plan, include things such as changing your daily routine, arranging for a place to stay, or having a friend or relative accompany you. Keep evidence of the stalking. When the stalker follows you or contacts you, make notes of the time, date, and place.

Title: Just 5 questions: Weather vs. climate – Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet Headings: Just 5 questions: Weather vs. climate News | June 24, 2010 Just 5 questions: Weather vs. climate 1. What’s the difference between climate and weather? 2. This past winter was an especially cold and snowy one for parts of the US, Europe and elsewhere. Surely such cold weather flies in the face of global warming? 3. In your view, what’s the most compelling piece of evidence for global warming? 4. How is climate change affecting the weather, and why? 5. Will it be hotter or colder in the future? More wet or more dry? References Explore Climate Mobile Apps Content: The ocean is a giant heat ”sink”, or absorber, and what we’re seeing is a slow increase in the heat content of the ocean. It’s literally a measure of the amount of heat the climate system holds. These changes in ocean heat content are unprecedented in the past ten thousand years. At the same time, climate warming from greenhouse gases is at its highest levels in [at least] 800,000 years. 4. How is climate change affecting the weather, and why? The largest weather changes are being seen in precipitation patterns, especially at very high latitudes. Alaska has been experiencing winter rainfall where it has never been recorded before. Similarly, the lowest temperatures at high latitudes are increasing. Such weather changes are expected from basic atmospheric physics, and provide one of many lines of evidence showing that increased carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are warming our climate.

Title: Climate Change Over the Last 100 Years Headings: Climate Change Over the Past 100 Years Content: Since the beginning of the century, precipitation in the United States has increased by about 6 percent, while the frequency of intense precipitation events (heavy downpours of more than two inches per day) has increased by 20 percent. Such events can cause flooding, soil erosion, and even loss of life. In some midcontinental areas, increased evaporation has led to drought because the heavy rains fell elsewhere. There is also evidence that ecosystems are reacting to warming. Between 1981 and 1991, the length of the growing season in the northern high latitudes (between 45 o and 70 o N) increased by a total of up to twelve days, as documented by satellite imagery. Greening in spring and summer occurred up to eight days earlier, and vegetation continued to photosynthesize an estimated four days longer. Global mean sea level has risen 4 to 10 inches over the last 100 years, mainly because water expands when heated. The melting of glaciers, which has occurred worldwide over the last century, also contributes to the rise. Formerly frozen soils (permafrost) in the Alaskan and Siberian arctic have also begun to melt, damaging both ecosystems and infrastructure. Melting and tundra warming will also lead to decay of organic matter and the release of trapped carbon and methane, creating an additional source of greenhouse gases.

Title: How to embed video in PowerPoint | Clipchamp Blog Headings: How to embed video in PowerPoint How to embed video in PowerPoint 1. Which version of PowerPoint are you using? A. How to embed video in PowerPoint 2010 to 2019 In-browser video editor. B. How to embed video in PowerPoint 2007 2. Common problems with videos in PowerPoint How to solve these problems 3. How to convert & compress videos to make them PowerPoint-compatible 4. Create PowerPoint-ready videos 5. Supported video formats, video codecs and audio codecs in all PowerPoint versions Further reading Content: Which version of PowerPoint are you using? The first thing to check is which version of PowerPoint you have installed. As you’d expect, every generation of the program comes with its own advantages and disadvantages when working with video files and supports a different set of video formats, video codecs and audio codecs. Unsurprisingly, Office 2019 is the most modern and versatile – it allows you to actually embed videos directly in a presentation where the PowerPoint file gets saved with the videos inside, just like images. This helps to get rid of an issue users encountered over the years – broken linking between a presentation and video files that are saved somewhere else on your computer – a problem all too common in older PowerPoints. Saving videos inside the file can create a new problem – these files can get very large, which is a nuisance if you want to share them, upload them to a team share or use them on someone else’s computer. A. How to embed video in PowerPoint 2010 to 2019 PowerPoint 2013, 2016, and 2019 are all compatible with most video formats, especially MP4, while WMV is recommended for PowerPoint 2010. But all four versions can embed videos directly into slides, so don’t worry if you don’t have the newest make. You can either drag and drop your video onto a slide or click “Insert” in the ribbon, then on “Video” to select video files from your hard drive. Embedded videos can be played straight away.

However, PowerPoint 2016 can’t handle all video formats due to unrecognized codecs. If you’re having this problem look at our troubleshooting tips below. Adding videos to your PowerPoint presentation can also cause the file size to balloon. In our example, the original slideshow with six embedded videos had a file size of roughly 1 GB. You can compress videos online using Clipchamp Utilities.

Supported video formats, video codecs and audio codecs in all PowerPoint versions Further reading Content: For PowerPoint 2010, you can either convert your video to WMV/ASF or to MP4. However in the latter case you also need to have Apple QuickTime installed on your computer and might still run into problems with QuickTime encoded videos unless you convert them to MP4 with Clipchamp. Things get a bit easier with PowerPoint 2013 and 2016 where the preferred video format is MP4. However, the video and audio codecs in the MP4 container should be H.264 and AAC for the video to work reliably. Converting the video to WMV will also work and PowerPoint 2016 accepts a wider range of video formats than any of its predecessors. Though MP4 is still the most versatile option and compressed MP4 will help with reducing the presentation’s size if you embed videos directly. 4. Create PowerPoint-ready videos In order to create a movie file that is guaranteed to work in any PowerPoint version for Windows, convert your original video using the “Windows” output option on clipchamp.com. This will result in a file in the .ASF format where the video is encoded using WMV and the audio is encoded using WMA. Note that these videos might not work in some PowerPoint versions on Mac.

According to a study done using data from the U.S. Census Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), renters are twice as likely as homeowners to experience displacement through gentrificationvi. While there is an understood nature of impermanence to renting, such an impermanence can be unnaturally hastened by practices like price gouging, volatile rents, and illegal actions by landlords. Los Angeles is struggling with an inhumane crisis of affordable housing and homelessness exacerbated by high rents, a lack of housing throughout the city, and inequity of development between neighborhoods. This city’s housing and homelessness crisis are a major factor of concern. Redlining and its effects on patterns of development, financial investment, infrastructure, and social dynamics in Los Angeles communities are an integral part of this discussion. The entrenched car culture of today has an ally in redlining, and it is inextricably linked to the crisis of housing we are facing today. Historically, highway projects were weaponized to bulldoze through neighborhoods assigned ratings of D, in red, by HOLC. In Boyle Heights, 100% of proposed freeway projects were approved, leading to the neighborhoods of the Eastside being bisected and disrupted by freeways.

CMOE Content: 10 Effective Coaching Strategies to Drive Your Team to Success 10 Effective Coaching Strategies to Drive Team Success Coaching Employees who lack proper leadership and team cohesion tend to falter when it comes to achieving team or organizational objectives of any kind. In contrast, when employees understand what is expected of them, the goals they’re trying to meet, and how they contribute to the team’s success, companies are better positioned to build customer loyalty, outshine the competition, and boost the bottom line. Building your management repertoire through the 10 effective coaching strategies described below will help you better support your employees and become a more-effective manager for your team members. 1) Know Your Employees To be a great manager, you must really know your team. Make a concerted effort to get to know each of your employees on a deeper level. Learn about each person’s strengths and weaknesses; what they excel at and what challenges them; what motivates them and what they find discouraging. Along with formal personality testing, consider having each of your team members complete regular self-evaluations and use the results to ensure you are utilizing each employee in the most effective way possible. 2) Foster Transparency Being transparent with your employees helps to build trust, form relationships, and ensure that everyone is on the same page.

However, by discouraging unhealthy competition and encouraging collaboration and recognition of group achievements rather than individual success, you’ll be able to foster a culture that not only thrives as a team but one that also inspires members to rely on one another. 4) Create Clear Objectives and Goals Clearly defining objectives and goals is virtually impossible without strategic planning. After gathering your team, start with big-picture thinking and encourage members to discuss and brainstorm ways to meet your longer-term goals. This is a good time to draw from individual strengths and ask for the team’s dedication, commitment, and creativity. Once the larger goals are identified, develop a timeline that includes milestones and benchmarks to keep everyone accountable and help you gauge your team’s cohesion, progress, and accomplishments.
