Content: This approximate figure also reveals the difficulty encountered in attempting to count the number of dead, and in defining precisely what is meant by war casualties when conducting a global assessment of the war. It raises the question of how the different societies engaged in the war decided how are the dead numbered during the conflict. This is a central issue, which affects the construction and used of war statistics within the nations after the war. Beyond the mere count of the casualties affected, this issue is part of a larger quantitative approach to studying the conflict. Quantitative approaches question the way in which the war was conducted and why reparations were required from Germany when the peace treaties were signed. It also probes why it was so difficult for those who were advocating for a fair peace settlement after the war to have their voices heard. Rough estimates of the number of war casualties also demonstrate the difficulty in “counting the dead” and what the words “ war losses ” mean exactly when attempting to conduct a global assessment of the war. With regard to France, several recent studies have contributed to refining the data through tackling simultaneously the reality, distribution and management of those losses. For counting the losses is significant not just in terms of how high the number of casualties was relative to the number of individuals involved in the war, but also in terms of how the states involved handled the effects of the losses on their populations. The first issue addressed in this article is what the notion of war casualties can refer to, both for contemporary and historical assessments of war. | https://encyclopedia.1914-1918-online.net/article/war_losses_france |

Content: For the High Command, the casualties represent the men out of action, either dead, wounded, missing or taken as prisoners of war. Here, war casualties are defined as the civilians and the military personnel who died as a result of military operations. Thus, even though the First World War was on this count a war carried on by regular armies, facing each other, it was also a theatre of violence inflicted upon civilian populations as a result of invasions, forced migrations, and strategic bombings afflicting some territories outside of the combat zones. All of this despite the successive treaties of The Hague and Geneva, which had tried prior to the war to better protect the separation between the military war and civilian life. The perception of the number of deaths affects memories of the conflict retained by the members of the communities affected by the war to varying degrees. Local archives, for instance, show how mourning communities, such as city councils, contributed to counting their war casualties and how they intended to honour them. It is interesting to consider how these differences in assessing the number of dead affect the ways that communities remember the conflict today, one hundred years after it began.

The delicate management of the number of troops ↑
The 1914-1918 war showed the involvement of 8 million French soldiers belonging to several age groups for over four years, 7 million of which were working in the combat zones. On average, nearly 900 men were killed every day. | https://encyclopedia.1914-1918-online.net/article/war_losses_france |

The 1914-1918 war showed the involvement of 8 million French soldiers belonging to several age groups for over four years, 7 million of which were working in the combat zones. On average, nearly 900 men were killed every day. Yet, although this figure does reveal the significant number of casualties, it does not reflect how difficult it is to assess them. War years

Content: in the First World War, it was above 8 million, and more than 40 million Europeans – half of them civilians – died in the Second World War.” What made the First World War so catastrophic compared to the earlier Franco-Prussian War was not the proportion of combatants killed, but the vast scale of the killing in the Great War. John Keegan’s estimates of the wartime dead are: Germany
2,000,000
France
1,700,000
Russia
1,700,000
Austria-Hungary
1,500,000
British Empire
1,000,000
Italy
460,000
Table 1: War Dead, 1914-1918
Mazower and Keegan actually underestimate the First World War’s death toll; according to Rüdiger Overmans’ definitive calculations, the First World War caused 9 million combat deaths, and 6 million civilian deaths. Approximately 13 million Germans served in the military during the Great War; 2 million were killed, that is, roughly 15 percent. As Keegan notes, this percentage is equally shocking when the numbers of war dead are calculated as a percentage of the relevant male cohort; that is, men born between 1880 and 1899 (prime candidates for service in the war). | https://encyclopedia.1914-1918-online.net/article/war_losses_germany |

Bibliography
Content: Such classifications are necessary to ensure appropriate methods for researching and understanding the extent of health problems in the world. The workplace often serves as a laboratory for understanding the relationship between environmental exposures and health. It serves as a laboratory because, in their occupational environment, workers tend to be exposed to measurable amounts of pollution. This fact allows occupational health researchers and epidemiologists to link adverse health outcomes to these environmental factors. If no link between a workplace pollutant and worker ill-health can be demonstrated, then that pollutant is unlikely to have measurable consequences for human health beyond the work environment owing to comparative lack of frequency and concentration of exposure experienced by those not working in that specific environment. One notable exception, however, is that class of people who are more susceptible to ill-effects even from low levels of exposure. An emerging concern with great potential impact on public health relates to upstream, or distant, determinants of health (the exposures are far apart in time or space from the witnessed ill-effects) including as policies that drive current levels of population growth, consumption and waste issues, and the uses of technology. For example, the environmental, transboundary transport of contaminants through the food chain has resulted in global chemical contamination. Other transboundary issues include acid precipitation, ozone, greenhouse gasses, and hazardous wastes. Global ecological integrity (i.e., the ability of life-support systems to sustain themselves in the presence of polluting forces) and global change (including concerns about climate change from global warming, ozone depletion, and the loss of biodiversity) have given people reason to adopt the WHO maxim: " | https://encyclopedia.com/education/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/environmental-determinants-health |

Content: However, on January 5, 1942—with the approval, if not the direction, of Washington—the government ordered all residents of Japanese ancestry in Baja California to leave the state. Some 2,800 Mexican Japanese were forced to fill out "voluntary relocation applications" and move at least 200 miles from the coastal area and 100 miles from the US border. They were required to move at their own expense, and given only ten days to settle their affairs—only a few of their Mexican wives and mixed-race children were permitted to stay. Their homes and businesses were taken over by local Mexicans. Soon, more immigrants and their children, chased out of Sonora by government authorities, came to join them. ( Although two prominent Nisei merchants in the border community of Nogales, Luis Tanamichi and Ignacio Koba, obtained court injunctions preventing their removal, they were forcibly removed as a "protective measure" in November 1942). In early March the area around Manzanillo, in the state of Colima, was emptied of Japanese. In some areas, such Sinaloa and Chiapas, powerful local officials interceded on behalf of ethnic Japanese residents and forestalled their expulsion—there were rumors of bribes placed by local communities for such protection. Tomas Valles, state treasurer of Chihuahua, exiled 57 Japanese residents to his ranch, where they spent several months as forced laborers before being released. Refugees and Internees
By the end of 1942, some 5,000 ethnic Japanese were forcibly displaced. | https://encyclopedia.densho.org/Japanese_Mexican_removal/ |

By the end of 1942, some 5,000 ethnic Japanese were forcibly displaced. The large majority of them resettled in Mexico City, or to a lesser extent Guadalajara. Once they left the coast, the refugees formed caravans to make the long journey eastward. Members of the capital district's existing Japanese community, who were less directly affected than others by official actions, transformed the defunct Japanese consulate and Japanese Associations into the "Comité Japonés de Ayuda Mutua" (Bokuto Kyoekai), a mutual aid society that worked to aid the distressed migrants, as well as some locals fired from factory jobs. The community in Guadalajara followed suit on a smaller scale. Some 350 refugees in Mexico City were established on a ranch in Batan donated by a community member. | https://encyclopedia.densho.org/Japanese_Mexican_removal/ |

Another 500 people, who had no other means, interned themselves at a ranch in Temixco established by President Miguel Avila Camacho, where they grew crops to feed themselves. Others went to a ranch in Castro Urdiales in Jaliso. Most refugees were ultimately able to find housing and some sort of employment, but they lived in privation, with no government assistance and little aid from the Kyoekai. In addition to its removal policy, the Mexican government interned a selection of Japanese whom it considered dangerous. In early 1942, raids were carried out on Japanese communities in Mexico City. | https://encyclopedia.densho.org/Japanese_Mexican_removal/ |

Content: d. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; e. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. While many cases of group-targeted violence have occurred throughout history and even since the Convention came into effect, the legal and international development of the term is concentrated into two distinct historical periods: the time from the coining of the term until its acceptance as international law (1944-1948) and the time of its activation with the establishment of international criminal tribunals to prosecute the crime of genocide (1991-1998). Preventing genocide, the other major obligation of the convention, remains a challenge that nations and individuals continue to face.

The Formic Wars were a series of conflicts between the human race and the Formics over the course of 100 years. The wars began when the hive-minded Formics sent a colonization fleet to Earth, not knowing that sentient life already existed on the planet. Not recognizing the humans as sentient beings, they attempted to terraform the world to their own needs. The humans defended themselves, and managed to destroy the scout ship that was sent ahead of the main fleet. However, the rest of the fleet eventually made it to the solar system, giving the humans another fight for their lives and their planet. Mazer Rackham destroyed the mothership housing the Hive Queen, ending the Second Invasion . To prevent Earth from ever being attacked again, the humans sent an invasion fleet to the Formic Homeworld and other Formic colonies to destroy their alien adversaries. The invasion fleet was commanded by Ender Wiggin. | https://enderverse.fandom.com/wiki/Formic_Wars |

First Invasion
The First Invasion (100 BX) began when the Formic colonization fleet launched a scout ship into the Solar System and began disrupting human communications due to their periodical gamma plasma exhaust bursts. These bursts later destroyed the mining ship El Cavador, Weigh Station 4, most of the ships and structures in The Belt, and the asteroid city of Kleopatra. A wave of destruction caused by the Formics. As the Formic ship dropped into orbit around Earth, the humans assumed the aliens had peaceful intent, and sent a United Nations ship to greet the Formics. | https://enderverse.fandom.com/wiki/Formic_Wars |

A wave of destruction caused by the Formics. As the Formic ship dropped into orbit around Earth, the humans assumed the aliens had peaceful intent, and sent a United Nations ship to greet the Formics. The Formics launched a gamma plasma burst at the ship, subsequently destroying it and several other cam ships. Moments later, three massive spherical landers, each a kilometer across, separated from the Formic scout ship and streaked toward South China. Captain Mazer Rackham and his crew, deployed in China to train Chinese pilots to fly the experimental HERC aircraft, witnessed the impact of the landers and provided medical aid to injured villagers in the area. While doing so, the lander opened up to expel thousands of Formic fighters and troop carrying aircraft. The Chinese military managed to shoot down a few aircraft, while taking massive casualties in return. | https://enderverse.fandom.com/wiki/Formic_Wars |

Content: The gamma plasma quickly killed all the Formics inside, but there was nobody to shut it off in order for the humans to enter the ship again. Captain Witt O'Toole sacrificed himself by entering the ship and turning off the gamma plasma. Mazer and the MOPs re-entered the ship and used the various devices on board to destroy the incoming Formic landers. Out beyond the Kuiper Belt, the rest of the Formic colonization fleet reorganized itself, preparing for battle against the hostile lifeforms on the planet ahead. Second Invasion
The Formic ship containing a Hive Queen. The Second Invasion (95 BX) began when the entirety of the Formic colonization fleet entered the interior of the Solar System and engaged in warfare with the humans. In a battle around the rings of Saturn, Mazer Rackham noticed a weak point in the seemingly random formation of the Formic ships. He fired one of the two missiles his ship had at a certain Formic spacecraft, destroying it and killing a Hive Queen. As it was destroyed, the other Formic fighter ships stopped functioning as all their pilots became brain-dead, for they no longer had a Hive Queen to control them.

After the defeat of the Formics around Saturn, the humans soon realized that there were no more fleets near Earth. | https://enderverse.fandom.com/wiki/Formic_Wars |

After the defeat of the Formics around Saturn, the humans soon realized that there were no more fleets near Earth. However, the fear that the aliens would return and the desire for revenge for the millions dead motivated humanity to use the near-lightspeed technology of the Formics to take the war to them. The International Fleet immediately began constructing new ships equipped with the most current technology and sent them as they were completed to the Formics' own planets, eventually centering in on their homeworld. These warships were constructed over decades, with the ships sent later having faster lightspeed drives and better weapon tech. Along with this invading fleet, the newly designed Molecular Disruption Device was sent as a trump card to combat the might of the Formics. Unbeknownst to the humans, however, as soon as the Hive Queen was killed the Formics realized that they had attacked a sentient species, and decided not to send another fleet to Earth. | https://enderverse.fandom.com/wiki/Formic_Wars |

The International Fleet also sent Mazer Rackham into relativistic flight so he would still be alive when the ships reached their destination and to teach the next great strategist who would destroy the Formics. However, the International Fleet needed to convince the public that they were under imminent threat of another invasion from the Formics in order to maintain the Battle School system. Thus, they lied to the world and stated that the fleets being prepared were being stationed around the comet shield to defend against the incoming Formic fleet. While waiting for the invasion fleet to arrive, the Fleet created special leadership training programs, designed to take advantage of the creative abilities of children, in an attempt to find an intellect capable of commanding such a force. These were Battle School, the Pre-Command Schools, and Command School. | https://enderverse.fandom.com/wiki/Formic_Wars |

Third Invasion
The Third Invasion (0 BX ), later known as the War of Xenocide or the Formic Xenocide, was the third and final major conflict of the Formic Wars. Instead of the Formics attacking Earth, as in the first two invasions, the Third Invasion saw the International Fleet attacking the Formic homeworlds. After some 60 years of searching for the ideal candidate through the Battle School system, the International Fleet had discovered and cultivated Ender Wiggin to lead their attack.

The massive fleets were not the only theater of war, however. Ground troops were deployed to the surface of Formic planets, fighting in close quarters with Formic workers. However, as the International Fleet began to notice, all the Hive Queens had been withdrawn from their respective planets to the Formic Homeworld. | https://enderverse.fandom.com/wiki/Formic_Wars |

Content: The Formic race consisted of Hive Queens, male drones, and workers. The entire species shared a hive mind, so the loss of individual workers did not concern them. The Formics killed over 40 million humans during the First Invasion of the Formic Wars in the belief they were simply scouring the lifeforms of Earth, to be replaced with the native life of their homeworld. After the defeat of the Formic fleet in the Second Invasion and the death of a Hive Queen, the Formics realized that the humans were sentient and did not invade them again. During the Third Invasion, Ender Wiggin used the Molecular Disruption Device on the Formic homeworld, destroying the planet and all the Hive Queens on it; thus almost killing off the Formic species in its entirety. Before their demise, the Hive Queens hacked the Mind Game in Battle School in an attempt to communicate with Ender Wiggin. Although they failed to talk to him, the interaction led Ender to discover a Hive Queen cocoon on a planet they had colonized, named Shakespeare by the humans. The Formics had left the Queen there, trusting Ender that he would take it with him on his voyages, and attempt to find a world where their species could be reborn. The Formics re-created their civilization 3,000 years after their destruction on the planet Lusitania, and later colonized other planets using faster-than-light travel. | https://enderverse.fandom.com/wiki/Formics |

Content: Several years later, Graff's responsibilities as the Battle School administrator led him to watching Ender Wiggin's actions via the Monitor in his neck. After one final test, Graff realized that Ender was Battle School material, and took him to the orbiting station. After Ender fought Bonzo Madrid, Graff returned to Earth with Ender for several months, as Ender had given up on his Battle School education. Once his sister Valentine had convinced him to continue, he and Graff returned to space and headed to Command School on Eros. While at Command School, Graff lied to Ender that he would be using a simulation game to train to fight the Formics in the upcoming Third Formic War, with Mazer Rackham as his opponent. However, in reality these simulations were the actual battles of the Third Invasion, with Ender and his Jeesh commanding human warships attacking the Formic planets. In the final battle, Ender used the Molecular Disruption Device against the Formic Homeworld and destroyed it completely, killing all the Formics due to their hive mind connection. Graff then explained to Ender that it was not a simulation and had in fact just won the Third Formic War. Devastated, Ender went to his quarters and passed out. Minister of Colonization
Following Ender's defeat of the Formics, Graff was court-martialed for his decisions at the Battle School, with the main case centering on his decision not to interfere with the fight between Ender and Bonzo Madrid. | https://enderverse.fandom.com/wiki/Hyrum_Graff |

Following Ender's defeat of the Formics, Graff was court-martialed for his decisions at the Battle School, with the main case centering on his decision not to interfere with the fight between Ender and Bonzo Madrid. Graff successfully contended in his defense that all of his actions were necessary to ensure that Ender would be able to defeat the Formics. He was acquitted, given a medal, and honorably discharged from the International Fleet. Soon after the court-martial, he was given the job of Minister of Colonization by the Hegemon, Polemarch, and Strategos and placed in charge of the Dispersal Project. Children of the Fleet
As the Minister of Colonization, Graff was placed in charge of the newly established Fleet School located in the former Battle School. He once again acted as a recruiting agent, usually choosing children whose parents were in the International Fleet. | https://enderverse.fandom.com/wiki/Hyrum_Graff |

Content: The sounds the lizards and squirrels made during the torture bothered Peter, but he couldn't stop. The rush of this great life-and-death control was too strong to be ignored. He was still jealous of Ender's being chosen to go to Battle School and was envious of their mother's attention. He stole from Ender's Christmas stocking, but was caught by his mother. She showed Peter that she loved him, but also loved Ender. The conflict had a profound effect on Peter. His jealousy of Ender did not fade, but his eyes were opened to emotions other than hate and jealousy. Locke and Demosthenes
After following the movements of Russian soldiers for some time, Peter realized that the world was preparing for an international conflict after the Formic Wars came to their end. A clever strategist and talented writer, he came up with a plan to participate in the growing conflict on Earth. Peter convinced his younger sister Valentine to create pseudonyms that would allow them both to write political commentary on the Nets, using their father's Citizen Access. | https://enderverse.fandom.com/wiki/Peter_Wiggin |

Peter convinced his younger sister Valentine to create pseudonyms that would allow them both to write political commentary on the Nets, using their father's Citizen Access. The two siblings would argue political positions between each other to stir up opinions among the populace. They used several different names at first, refining their skills, but once they were perfected, took unchanging screen names. Peter was "Locke", a political analyst who attempted to stay neutral and take no sides in international discussions, and was later hired to write weekly columns often arguing against Valentine's "Demosthenes." The writings proved to be incredibly popular and all the while Peter kept his true identity - now a thirteen-year-old-boy - hidden from the world.

Valentine left Earth to go to Eros, where Ender was, and they would both become colonists on a former Formic planet. They were gone, and Peter felt alone. He'd entered the local college in Greensboro, at a younger-than-normal age. He had a difficult time associating with his fellow students who did not know of his political machinations that had changed the world. The beginning of his exposure as Locke was when Peter received a message from Bean, revealing the location of Ender's Jeesh who had been kidnapped by rogue Russian soldiers under the command of Achilles de Flandres. As Locke, Peter exposed Russia's unintentional involvement in kidnapping war heros. The Russian military mounted a secret rescue mission, freeing all the prisoners except for Petra Arkanian, who remained in Achilles' clutches. | https://enderverse.fandom.com/wiki/Peter_Wiggin |

Content: Graff convinced Valentine to write a letter to Ender who he said was not doing well at Battle School due to what appeared to be depression. Valentine agreed, though once she wrote the letter she felt guilty for being an apparent pawn in the International Fleet's game with Ender. Her anger at the Fleet translated over to her writings as Demosthenes, which she took up with renewed vigor. Valentine and Ender embracing on the lake. Valentine was later asked by Graff to see Ender during his brief visit to Earth between his time at Battle School and promotion to Command School. She unwittingly convinced Ender to return to space and defeat the Formics, causing her to resent Graff and the International Fleet even more for tricking her into doing their bidding. In the aftermath of the Third Invasion, Valentine, as Demosthenes, made certain that Ender would never return to Earth. The great powers of the world, including her own brother Peter, would try to make Ender their puppet. Valentine convinced Peter that Ender should not return, and the two of them wrote essays as Locke and Demosthenes to prevent their younger brother from ever stepping foot on Earth again. However, Valentine had decided to retire from Demosthenes at the age of fifteen, and join Ender in exile as a colonist heading out to the former Formic worlds. | https://enderverse.fandom.com/wiki/Valentine_Wiggin |

Valentine watched Ender closely in the first days and weeks of their travels through space on the IFcoltrans1, which she nicknamed the "Good Ship Lollipop". She worried about his obsession with the Formics, as well as his seeming disinterest in becoming the governor of Shakespeare. She sought the advice of her parents, something she'd rarely done before, and was named their favorite child for doing so. | https://enderverse.fandom.com/wiki/Valentine_Wiggin |

Keeping in touch with students is key to knowing their worries. Teachers should not be afraid to ask the hard questions to their students. Look for a way to strike rapport with your students especially the reserved ones. The questions could help unearth a problem or challenge facing a student. Some kids have low self esteem and only a one on one sessions with a teacher helps them open up what is disturbing them. 2. Switching teaching strategies/Materials. Teachers need to vary their teaching methods teaching and never stick to one. For example, a text can be read, acted, turned into a poem, into informative flyers and adverts!!!!!A single repetitive method of teaching is boring to any student. Some of the ways of teaching are classroom participation, alliteration, demonstrations and checking for understanding (CFU’S). | https://enezaeducation.com/how-and-why-teachers-should-motivate-students/ |

Content: Eighty-six were child welfare involved, and most reported abuse while in foster care or residential placement. In Alameda County, California, a one-year review of local CSEC victim populations found that 55 percent were from foster youth group homes, and 82% had previously run away from home multiple times. Homeless and runaway youth are another common target for traffickers. Runaway youth are often approached by traffickers at transportation hubs, shelters or other public spaces. These traffickers play the role of a boyfriend or a significant other, using feigned affection and manipulation to elicit commercial sex or services from the victim. Runaway or homeless youth may be compelled to exchange sex for basic survival necessities, such as food, shelter, or protection. At least one in three homeless youth engage in “ survival sex ,” the exchange of a sexual service for food, clothing, shelter or protection. According to Covenant House, “Shelter was the number one commodity traded in return for sexual activity. Of those who engaged in commercial sex activity, almost half (of youth) – 48 percent in total – said they did it because they did not have a place to stay. Participants (in the Covenant House Research) explained how traffickers loiter in areas where homeless youth are known to gather and then tell them that the shelters are full and offer them a place to stay in lieu of sleeping on the streets.” | https://engagetogether.com/2018/02/22/human-trafficking-101-victims/ |

Youth living on their own are at a higher risk for anxiety disorders, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), suicide attempts and other health problems due to the enhanced exposure to violence.

Content: Given that it was such a straight homage, if you were to try to argue a drug use subtext in the character design, you'd have to argue it from the original work. But there its generally assumed Krebs was just created originally as a generic beatnik. While drug use certainly was part of that culture, in the show most of the subtexts seemed to involve Krebs' issues with work, marriage, and the police (any mention of those three words caused him to yelp in fear, or worse). The "Shaggy was obviously a stoner; that's why he always had the munchies!" meme is something I've mostly heard in the last decade or so, long after the show was off the air and started to be analyzed by a new generation of adults, much like the "Peppermint Patty is a lesbian" argument that I never heard until the 90's. IMHO that's just as likely people with modern sensibitiles looking at old media with their own cultural expectations, rather than the ones in place when it was created. Of course that doesn't prevent the word from possibly having come from there. But it seems more likely as a modern myth for the word's origin than as an actual possible etymology. Share

Content: are usually referred to as "Alaska Natives" but also are considered "Native Americans," as are Native Hawaiians but neither Alaska Natives nor Native Hawaiians are generally referred to as "American Indians" since they are not associated with the region of the contiguous 48 states of the U.S.A.
Historically, the British, the colonizing culprits in this whole mess (that's sarcasm folks, aka "Indi'n Humor), often referred in their literature to "Indians" as the people from the Indus River Valley, aka India; the people of North America, they often referred to as "Red Indians." Here in the U.S.A., the term "American Indians" is usually converted to a contraction and pronounced as "Indi'n" by many who are of American Indian/Native American descent or many of the people inhabiting areas with large populations of American Indians/Native Americans. The whole, "use Native American to refer to American Indians," argument is often confusing (since anyone born within the confines of U.S. borders is often referred to as "Native Americans" rather than "Native Born Americans") and comes across in "Indi'n Country" as lip service, an often insincere term that is used by the mainstream to feign respect for the aboriginal people of the U.S.A. but is often used to marginalize and divert attention away from the issues that have historically evolved in the U.S., such as American Indian tribes' legal status and claims in regard to their interactions between the U.S. federal and state governments, usually defined by treaties and the U.S. Supreme Court who use the term "American Indian" in their copious discussions and documents on the legal status of American Indians. I hope this clears up some of the discussion as to why most people who trace their ancestry back to the people of the Indus River Valley, aka India, are commonly referred to in the U.S.A. as "East Indians," "Asian Indians" and "India Indians," in an attempt to avoid confusion. I have no idea what people in India might call American Indians/Native Americans who travel to or reside in India. I would think they would identify them by their tribal names, such as Cherokee, Lakota, Leni Lenape/Delaware, Kiowa, Apache, etc., but that is total conjecture on my part. Share

Content: Note that using the term "American Indian" rather than "Native American" is offensive mostly to white people on behalf of Indians, rather than to the Indians themselves. The people in question more often refer to themselves as "American Indians". Not long ago I read of a survey taken in the mid-1990s that found that (best as I recall the numbers) about 50% of American Indians preferred the term "American Indian", 35% preferred "Native American", and I presume the rest had other terms, didn't care, whatever. There's only one such person that I ever knew at all personally and he called himself "an Indian". I just did a quick Yahoo search and couldn't find anything more recent, so I don't know if that's changed. Personally, I think there's a certain irony to all this: To show greater respect for Indians, white people tell the Indians that we know better than they what they should call themselves. Sounds a little patronizing to me. But I'm probably trending from language to social commentary here. Share

Content: Its tendency to wallow in sorrow, to emphasize longing, and position its narrators as occupying places of lonely alienation occasionally crosses the line into the mawkish and melodramatic. Romantic poetry and novels are characterized by sentimentality and characters in thrall to powerful passions and in search of sublime practices. Exoticism: An additional means, by which the Romantics distanced themselves from the emphatic empiricism of the Enlightenment, remained to imagine equivalent worlds and periods through which to contemplate new ways of approaching relationships, religion, and politics. The Romantics often symbolized alternative modes of living and thoughtful—as well as the authenticity and naturalness of those living in pre-civilized states—with imageries of foreign places. We see Spain, Italy, and particularly the Near East and northern Africa as the setting for a number of poems and novels of the era. Emphasis was placed on the exoticism of these places, often through the use of endlessly repeated typecasts of the presumed decadence and oddness of Africans and Arabs or the apparently calm, colorful, and sensual living of southern Europeans.

says: The main themes of romanticism include; nature, childhood imagination, freedom. The romantics thought strongly towards these themes, they thought that it was a disaster that the world was becoming more industrialised and everyone was working in factories. The Romantic writers felt that this was too restrictive on their creativity and instead of writing about the experiences one had in the world, they were more interested in why the experience happened, and what affect it would have.

Content: The romantics thought strongly towards these themes, they thought that it was a disaster that the world was becoming more industrialised and everyone was working in factories. The Romantic writers felt that this was too restrictive on their creativity and instead of writing about the experiences one had in the world, they were more interested in why the experience happened, and what affect it would have. The Romantics wrote through their imaginations, dreams, and thoughts of what might be or what were the causes of life experiences. Along with imagination came a true connection between an appreciation for aesthetic beauty and nature. Childhood imagination was extremely important for the romantic poets; this is because they believed that childhood imaginations based your future and affected later- life and adulthood Romantics believed that school and industrialisation was extremely bad for children at the time and it prevented the children from having freedom and imaginations. The Romantics believed in pantheistic religion. They believed that the church controlled people into following certain rules and gods, whereas they had their own spiritual religion and didn’t believe in an organised religion. Like

Romanticism was an artistic, literary, and intellectual movement that originated in Europe toward the end of the 18th century and its a reaction to the Enlightment. The Romantic Movement emphasised the importance of emotional sensitivity and individual subjectivity. For the Romantics, imagination, rather than reason, was the most important creative faculty

How Does Poetry Communicate Feelings and Emotions?
Introduction
The Art of Poetry
The Science of Poetry
Conclusion
Content: We are similar because we go through the same joys and sorrows, through the same illusions and disappointments. The supreme law of living makes us equals, and to a greater or lesser degree, we all feel euphoria and depression, sadness and happiness, hope and disappointments. Poets and philosophers hold power to explain those intimate moments of the life of a human being. The poets hold power to pour their emotions into a poem conceptually and explain the deep states and movements of the spirit. They likewise translate the emotions to a concrete language that demonstrates the same complex and subtle realities of the human soul. Thus, it is not only joy that poets can communicate with their verses, but also sadness, despair, anguish, pain, doubt, hatred, love, compassion, desire, admiration, faith, veneration, and hope. They can also communicate all the feelings and emotions that, in general, can have a place in the soul of a human being. The Art of Poetry
A great poet is one who is able to make us vibrate with indignation at injustice, and also the one who can make us shudder with a slight and delicate pleasure with the fragrance of a flower. And a great poet is the one who knows how to penetrate to the deepest part of our soul and to scrutinize the most hidden feelings there in order to express them later with precise, adequate, concrete and at the same time, universal and valuable words. Such feelings make up fora vast range of poems written by celebrated poets throughout the world. | https://englishsummary.com/poetry-communicate-feelings-emotions/ |

Such feelings make up fora vast range of poems written by celebrated poets throughout the world. It is not humanly possible to go through the numerous poems published in this part of the work without noticing that the feelings expressed in them and those that awaken in us vary constantly. But the great miracle of poetry consists precisely in the admirable utility of theme which lends itself to the expression of such diverse emotions. Poetry forces us to feel and communicates the exultant joy of the winning soldier or the correspondent lover, the deep the sadness of the father who has lost his son or the exile who leaves the beloved limits of his homeland. Because poetry is not, like philosophy, the work of reflective intelligence, which uses concepts, but, on the contrary, it is a product of the creative imagination, which expresses the profound life of human emotions. The Science of Poetry
When I say the science of poetry, I mean the immense talent and deep intellect that goes into a writing a poem of value that moves the readers. | https://englishsummary.com/poetry-communicate-feelings-emotions/ |

We are no different from the list of famous celebrities we closely follow. One reason why we so tightly associate with celebrities is because, they are reflections of what we want to be. The fancy lifestyles, perfect hair days, stylish clothing, late-night parties, dates with paparazzi, and the glitz and glamor of it all are secretly sought by many of us. How could we not be fascinated by them? After all, they bring us the news of impossible amounts of fun with our morning cup of coffee.

Yes! Weight and its issues haunt each one of us, but in different ways. Talk about diet, and we are searching the Internet for celebrity diets. What we truly care about is whether we can look like the celebrities. It hardly matters to us, whether the diet suits our body type or need.

Content: Besides the actual birth, the ideas of losing weight post the birth of a baby are also heavily influenced by our celebrities. When new mothers look at celebrities moms who have slimmed down in a matter of months, it sends them in an emotional tailspin. It affects their self-esteem in a negative way. However, what they fail to understand is that, regular moms do not have the luxury of dedicating hours to working out, like our celebrity moms do. But this is not all. When Larry King gives up smoking because he has a heart attack, he inspires people to think. When Teri Hatcher talks about being sexually abused as a child, it becomes a lot easier for us to accept that it happened to us as well. When Catherine Zeta-Jones gets diagnosed for bipolar disorder, we are no longer ashamed of it happening to us. Thus, the celebrity culture also affects us in a positive way. It is because we relate to our celebrities more than we do to our friends and family, that sometimes we are humbled by their acts. | https://entertainism.com/how-celebrity-culture-affects-our-society |

Blind Imitation
When you try to imitate your role models from the glamor industry, do you give a thought to whether you are doing right or wrong? It is often seen that young girls and boys imitate celebrities blindly. The impact of media is such that the wrong, the controversial, and the bad is more talked about. Sometimes, little things are blown out of proportion thus changing the way they are perceived by the audience. Media highlights controversies and scandals in the lives of celebrities. The masses fall for this being-in-the-news and end up imitating celebrities without much thought. | https://entertainism.com/negative-influences-of-media |

How Black Enterpreneurs Can Tap Into The Emerging Markets
Entrepreneurs Of Black Origin
Actually, there is a lot of gap between the whites and the other races like the black enterpreneurs in the United States. In recent years people have started patronizing businesses owned by blacks more often. However, there is still a lot of gap in the patronage between black and white-owned businesses. Really, a lot of things are responsible for this gap. Also, the gap has resulted into a lot of other issues. However, it is very critical to work together to breach this gap for the future economic benefits of the US. Actually, gathering wealth transcends generations. Past generations may have been at advantageous positions to amass wealth and keep for the upcoming generation. In the case of the black race in America that may have been very difficult. This is due to the fact that past generations of black people in America had faced the scourge of slavery. | https://entertainmentnewstech.com/how-to-remove-someone-from-facebook-messenger/ |

Content: Generally, there is a notion that entrepreneurs of black origin do not always succeed in the business world. Consequently, this adversely affects the chances of funding for black enterpreneurs. Actually, what is needed now is a shift of mindset. So, investors should be made to understand that investing in black businesses can also fetch them more money. Again, this would make for equity. Hence, it would encourage the explosion of black-owned successful big ventures. If black enterpreneurs can break through the difficulty of accessing the needed capitals and having access to large networks they too can succeed. Interestingly, the venture capital organizations can be of help in both ways. This would be a great way for entrepreneurs of black origin to tap into emerging markets. The Need To Invest In Emerging Pipelines
Importantly, you should keep investing in emerging pipelines. | https://entertainmentnewstech.com/how-to-remove-someone-from-facebook-messenger/ |

These firms now adopt diversity as one of the factors for making decisions. Giants from Silicon Valley and top notch companies like Twitter and Facebook are constantly searching for the best brains to employ. Consequently, diversity may be important so as not to limit choices. On A Final Note
VCs can develop long-lasting pipeline by identifying and sponsoring promising large-scale companies from black enterpreneurs. As one of the benefits creating black businesses would provide enough job employment opportunities. In turn, this would help boost the economy of the country at large. When more black enterpreneurs are empowered financially, it would breed more success down the line. | https://entertainmentnewstech.com/how-to-remove-someone-from-facebook-messenger/ |

Again, it would increase and expand resource control and management. Also, this process will diversify businesses. Hence, venture capital firms should implement policies that encourage minority investments. The issues that make black owned innovative businesses appear unsuccessful should be identified and handled. In the long run, this would prove to be helpful not just for black businesses but also for the American economy. | https://entertainmentnewstech.com/how-to-remove-someone-from-facebook-messenger/ |

Content: You will want information about which benefits and features matter to customers, and data on emerging social, economic and technological trends that may alter purchasing and usage patterns. Effective segmentation need to be dynamic in two ways and need to be redrawn as soon as they lose their relevance. The first way is, they should concentrate on the needs and behaviours which are rapidly evolving, rather than personality traits, which frequently persist through a person’s life. The second way is that segments are being rapidly reshaped by technology, fluctuating economics, and new consumer niches. If a company, business or firm ignores market segmentation and ignores their target customer, there is nothing to sell and nobody to sell to. A good market strategy and thus a proper segmentation can increase your competitiveness, brand recall, customer retention, communications and expand your market. In summary – Target the right segment, and you will walk away with a better company and higher profitability. Advantages of market segmentation
Ultimately, market segmentation adds to a business’ ability to cater to diverse needs of a considerably sized consumer market, where various sections of consumers may have varied needs, interests and perceptions of different products and services. Market segmentation is vital for every business, which is why some entrepreneurs would opt to take up a marketing fundamentals at an educational level. Taking into consideration different conclusions derived through market segmentation, businesses can allocate their resources to develop a marketing mix in coherence with the demands and requirements of their target consumers. | https://entrepreneurhandbook.co.uk/why-market-segmentation-is-crucial-for-your-business/ |

E-waste, E-waste management, Electronic Pollution, Pollution 7
We all have heard and read about environmental degradation and how human activities are leaving a big scar on the environment and its vital resources today. People and experts around the globe are spreading widespread awareness about air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution and noise pollution. But in this post, I am going to enlighten you about an often overlooked and unthought form of pollution that is slowly crawling into the limelight and has been increasing terrifically with each passing day. We call it Electronic pollution. What is electronic pollution? Electronic pollution is the form of pollution caused by the discarded electrical or electronic devices. Used electronics which are destined for reuse, resale, salvage, recycling, or disposal are also considered e-waste. Informal processing of e-waste in developing countries can lead to adverse human health effects and environmental pollution. Electronic scrap components, such as CPUs, contain potentially harmful components such as lead , cadmium , beryllium, or brominated flame retardants . Recycling and disposal of e-waste may involve significant risk to the health of workers and communities in developed countries and great care must be taken to avoid unsafe exposure in recycling operations and leaking of materials such as heavy metals from landfills and incinerator ashes. | https://envibrary.com/electronic-pollution/ |

The outbreak of any and every type of pollution today has a story behind its origin. So before we get into further details and information regarding electronic pollution, let us first figure out how the entire scenario of electronic pollution starts and how it came into existence. What is e-waste? The term “waste” logically refers to residue or material which is dumped by the buyer rather than recycled, including residue from reuse and recycling operations, because loads of surplus electronics are frequently commingled (good, recyclable, and non-recyclable). Electronic waste also called e-waste is created when an electronic product is discarded after the end of its useful life. | https://envibrary.com/electronic-pollution/ |

Electronic waste also called e-waste is created when an electronic product is discarded after the end of its useful life. It is hoarding as well as disposing of unused or irreparable, electronic items like mobile phones, television sets, computer sets, refrigerator, tape recorders etc. It includes a long unending list of electrical equipment. These may be classified into 3 parts. Recycled, Non-recycled and Risky. Discarded computers, office electronic equipment, entertainment device electronics , mobile phones , television sets, and refrigerators include used electronics which are destined for reuse, resale, salvage, recycling, or disposal as well as re-usable (working and repairable electronics) and secondary scraps (copper, steel, plastic, etc.). | https://envibrary.com/electronic-pollution/ |

With the release of new technology every year, people tend to adapt to a newer one rather old product. Thus it tends to another of clearance. Sometimes we could find that people discard old electronics at the least inconvenience and prefer new ones. It is not being lousy but we find certain cases like buying the new printer is much cheaper than its ink cartridges.

The high cost of repairing the product also tends to more of replacing the old with the new one at a cheaper rate. Thus, replacing the older devices and gadgets with newer ones implies more and more disposal of the old ones. How the e-waste radiation harms the environment? Computers and entertainment centers and other electrical appliances convert the alternating current they are receiving to direct current which the equipment will use to power its activities using less electricity. In this process, high frequencies are produced that go out onto the electrical circuit and cause high-frequency electromagnetic waves to radiate out from the circuits. | https://envibrary.com/electronic-pollution/ |

In other words, some of the high frequencies produced are radio wave and microwave frequencies that disseminate their energy through the air rather than follow the electrical circuits. Scientific Research has shown these “polluting” high-frequency fields to have specific biological effects that are detrimental to the overall health of the individual. The rapid growth of the production of electrical and electronic products has meant an equally rapid growth in the amount of electronic waste (e-waste), much of which is illegally imported to India, for disposal presenting a serious environmental challenge. E-waste: Global facts and figures
In 2009, discarded TVs, computers, peripherals (including printers, scanners, fax machines) mice, keyboards, and cell phones totaled about 2.37 million short tons. | https://envibrary.com/electronic-pollution/ |

E-waste represents 2% of America’s trash in landfills, but it equals 70% of overall toxic waste. 20 to 50 million metric tons of e-waste are disposed of worldwide every year. Cell phones and other electronic items contain high amounts of precious metals like gold or silver. Americans dump phones containing over $60 million in gold/silver every year. A large number of what is labeled as “e-waste” is actually not waste at all, but rather whole electronic equipment or parts that are readily marketable for reuse or can be recycled for materials recovery. | https://envibrary.com/electronic-pollution/ |

Content: Only 12.5% of e-waste is currently recycled. For every 1 million cell phones that are recycled, 35,274 lbs of copper, 772 lbs of silver, 75 lbs of gold, and 33 lbs of palladium can be recovered. Recycling 1 million laptops saves the energy equivalent to the electricity used by 3,657 U.S. homes in a year. E-waste is still the fastest growing municipal waste stream in America, according to the EPA. It takes 530 lbs of fossil fuel, 48 lbs of chemicals, and 1.5 tons of water to manufacture one computer and monitor. Electronic items that are considered to be hazardous include, but are not limited to: Televisions and computer monitors that contain cathode ray tubes, LCD desktop monitors, LCD televisions, Plasma televisions, Portable DVD players with LCD screens. Adverse effects of e-waste on humans and the environment
A recent study about the rising electronic pollution in the USA revealed that the average computer screen has five to eight pounds or more of Lead representing 40 percent of all the lead in US landfills. All these toxins are persistent, bioaccumulative toxins (PBTs) that create environmental and health risks when computers are incinerated, put in landfills or melted down. When computers monitors and other electronics are burned they create cancer-producing dioxins which are released into the air we breathe. | https://envibrary.com/electronic-pollution/ |

Can Paint Fumes Cause Cancer? by amanda wooley | Nov 12, 2018 | Indoor Air Quality, Odor Removal, VOCs
Painters are subjected to a great deal of complicated chemical compounds and mixtures that usually generate poisonous fumes, which are known to cause carcinogenic complications. According to certain research published in the Journal of Occupational & Environmental Medicine, painters are significantly exposed to greater risks of contracting various types of diseases, including cancer of the lungs, kidney, and bladder. Most paints that are used for decorating homes contain dangerous chemical substances, such as VOCs (Volatile-Organic-Compounds) and harmful solvents. When the paint dries up, the chemical compounds are converted into gases, which are then released into the atmosphere. When the painter and people nearby inhale the paint fumes, they’re more likely to suffer from nose, throat, and eye irritation. In great amounts, studies have clearly shown that these chemical substances can cause cancers, birth complications, and damage to the brain. Paints and VOCs
Paints can be classified into 2 categories: | https://enviroklenz.com/can-paint-fumes-cause-cancer |

Paints can be classified into 2 categories: oil-based and water-based. The former is used particularly for a glossy finish. A certain liquid (solvent) is added to such paints in order to thin them, making the mixture spread well. The latter kinds of paints are usually acrylic emulsions and are used when painting walls. Generally, paints and thinners contain VOCs, the chemical compounds that are easily converted into gases or vapors. | https://enviroklenz.com/can-paint-fumes-cause-cancer |

Content: VOCs are also found in most consumer products such as cigarettes, dry cleaning products, cleansers, building furnishes, adhesives, and more. Commonly, VOCs enter a person’s body when one comes into contact with their products, or when someone inhales materials containing them, such as paints and cigarettes. Breathing in gases containing these chemicals can exacerbate sinusitis and asthma. When inhaled, the VOCs are taken into the lungs, and then absorbed into the blood stream, which transports them to various parts of the body. This can lead to dizziness and headaches, or total loss of consciousness when used in a poorly ventilated room. Learn More About The EnviroKlenz Air System
Health effects to painters
Painters, or people involved in the manufacturing of various kinds of paints, become the major victims of VOC exposure. The risks increase as one continues to work in the paint industry. A number of studies have found out that people engaged in paint and coating manufacturing plants have an increased possibility of developing cancers of the larynx, liver, lungs, bladder, skin, bowel, and esophagus. Statistics indicate that there is an increased probability of contracting bladder cancer and lung cancer among painters; and acute leukemia and lung cancer among varnish and paint plant workers. | https://enviroklenz.com/can-paint-fumes-cause-cancer |

“Agriculture is one of the biggest causes of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Cars? Planes? Trains? Nope. Cow farts.” Zazie Beetz
Agricultural Pollution: Causes, Effects & Solutions
Agricultural pollution can be defined as the degradation or contamination of the environment through abiotic and biotic byproducts of farming. For many years, our ancestors did farming in a sustainable way, thus there were almost no problems with agricultural pollution. However, due to the optimization of yields over time through the excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides, agricultural pollution became a significant problem for the environment. | https://environmental-conscience.com/causes-effects-solutions-for-agricultural-pollution/ |

The excessive use of pesticides and herbicides in order to optimize yields has become a big problem for the environment. Pesticides and herbicides contain many chemicals that can impact the ecological system in an adverse manner. The crops contaminated with these chemicals are eaten by us which can cause health issues for sensible people. Moreover, the chemicals are washed through the soil in the groundwater and thus contaminate it. In addition, animals will eat part of the crops and plants and are harmed by the chemicals as well. Use of large amounts of fertilizer
A similar problem occurs from the use of fertilizers. An excessive fertilizer use leads to contamination of rivers and lakes with nitrates and phosphates which causes algae contamination and thus harms the water environment. Using large amounts of fertilizer can also contaminate the groundwater and thus harms the whole ecosystem, including humans, plants and animals. | https://environmental-conscience.com/causes-effects-solutions-for-agricultural-pollution/ |

Content: Moreover, the chemicals are washed through the soil in the groundwater and thus contaminate it. In addition, animals will eat part of the crops and plants and are harmed by the chemicals as well. Use of large amounts of fertilizer
A similar problem occurs from the use of fertilizers. An excessive fertilizer use leads to contamination of rivers and lakes with nitrates and phosphates which causes algae contamination and thus harms the water environment. Using large amounts of fertilizer can also contaminate the groundwater and thus harms the whole ecosystem, including humans, plants and animals. Contaminated water
The use of contaminated water for agricultural purposes is a significant issue. While most of the water in developed countries is relatively clean, this can be quite different in developing countries. The water can be contaminated due to the disposal of industrial, agricultural or private waste into rivers, lakes or other water systems. This can cause the crops being contaminated with chemicals and harmful elements like lead or even mercury. In turn, these crops are used by humans as well as to feed animals and thus can harm both in a severe way. | https://environmental-conscience.com/causes-effects-solutions-for-agricultural-pollution/ |
