Content: Below is a list of presidents that have served the country since the Soviet Union was dissolved . Boris Yeltsin: 1991 - 1999
Boris Yeltsin was the first president of Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union. He was born on February 1 st, 1931 in Butka Village in Yekaterinburg, also known as Sverdlovsk Oblast, to a peasant family. Yeltsin’s first step into Soviet politics began in 1968 when he joined and became active in the party. In 1976, he was appointed the first secretary of the Sverdlovsk District Central Committee, a role similar to a Governor in the US. Yeltsin’s work in the district garnered him a reformers reputation. His prominence in Soviet politics rose further in 1985 after Mikhail Gorbachev, then Soviet Leader, brought him to Moscow to be the Communist Party secretary. In 1987-1988, Yeltsin clashed with and criticized Gorbachev over the pace of reforms. As a result, he was stripped of the Communist Party secretary post. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/presidents-of-russia-since-the-fall-of-the-soviet-union.html |

Was Roe Vs. Wade Decided By a Republican Court? The U.S. Supreme Court. The landmark abortion case of Roe v. Wade was decided by what theoretically should have been a "conservative" Supreme Court. The decision recognized a woman’s right to make individual medical decisions, including abortion in line with the constitutional right to privacy. The Court ruled that the state had no interests in a woman’s pregnancy in the first trimester and the woman thus had a right to terminate the pregnancy. The decision remains the most controversial of the Supreme Court’s rulings in the US. 10. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/roe-versus-wade-decided-by-a-majority-republican-nominated-court.html |

1. The Russian Revolution (1917)
Content: While the National Constituent Assembly, a group of representatives from the Estates-General who were pushing for change, continued to debate France’s political future, influential figures like Maximilien de Robespierre were championing total governmental reform. In the summer of 1792, a club of extremists known as the Jacobins arrested the king who was attempting to flee. This led to the establishment of the National Convention, the first French Republic. In January 1793, King Louis XVI was executed by guillotine, sparking ten months of unnecessary bloodshed as the Jacobins' Reign of Terror swept through France. In the end, between over 17,000 so-called enemies of the revolution were executed, and at least another 10,000 died in prison awaiting their trial. The death of Robespierre marked a new period in which the French revolted against the excess use of violence. By August 1795, executive power lay with the Directory, a five-member collective appointed by parliament, but the state of the country did not improve. After four more years of hardships, corruption, and discontent, the conflict came to an end in 1799 when Napoleon Bonaparte seized power through a coup d’état. The French Revolution is notable for the abolishment of the French monarchy that had ruled for centuries; it demonstrated the power of the people and their ability to truly make a difference. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-10-most-important-revolutions-of-all-time.html |

Swedish Krona is the legal tender of Sweden. It has been the official currency in Sweden since 1873. The Swedish Krona is rated among the most traded currencies in the world. Swedish voters rejected the plan to adopt the Euro in a referendum held on September 14th, 2003. The use of cash is steadily declining in Sweden and is being replaced by an electronic currency known as e-krona. European Union’s Common Currency
The European Union’s decision to have a common currency is a good economic decision. The single currency has several benefits including the increased trade within the region, eliminates exchange costs incurred by businesses transacting across borders, and eliminates exchange rate fluctuation risk. European Union member states have gained substantially from the use of a common currency. The Currencies Of The European Union

The Deadliest School Massacres In American History
March For Our Lives was a movement dedicated to student-led activism around ending gun violence and the epidemic of mass shootings in schools today. Los Angeles, CA. Image credit: Hayk_Shalunts/Shutterstock.com
The massacre at Columbine High School is considered to be the event that has most shaped the modern gun debate. In 2012, twenty children—the majority of whom were six or seven—were killed during the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. With 32 killed and dozens injured, the massacre at Virginia Tech remains the worse school shooting in the United States. It is an unfortunate truth that there have been dozens of school massacres in the United States, particularly throughout the last thirty years. They often result in high death tolls and unimaginable grief for those involved. Even though they are in actuality quite rare, these traumatic events have many people concerned about their safety and that of their children. As a result, national gun debates are being waged fiercely, an issue which deeply divides the American people. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-deadliest-school-massacres-in-american-history.html |

After killing his own wife, Kehoe drove his truck up to the school and fired a rifle at metal debris and additional dynamite hiding in the backseat. He died in this second explosion along with several others. Overall, the bombings killed 44 people—38 of which were schoolchildren—and left 58 injured. A later investigation found other explosives under the south wing that failed to detonate.

On the morning of April 20, 1999, Eric Harris (18) and Dylan Klebold (17) entered Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. Sporting trench coats, they opened fire, killing twelve students and one teacher. 24 were injured. Most of the bloodshed occurred in the school’s library where, shortly after noon, Harris and Klebold turned the guns on themselves. Following the massacre, it was reported that they had also planted a bomb that failed to detonate. It was initially thought that the gunmen were purposefully targeting athletes, minorities, and Christians, but it was later determined that they chose their victims at random. In terms of motive, one theory suggests that Harris and Klebold were bullied and had committed the attack as an act of revenge; | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-deadliest-school-massacres-in-american-history.html |

A video was found shortly after the shooting of them apologizing to their parents for what they were about to do. The massacre at Columbine was at the time the worst high school shooting in US history. It is also considered to be the event that has most shaped the modern gun control debate.

On December 14, 2012, Adam Lanza (20) rocked the nation when, after killing his mother, he drove to Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. He entered through a window and immediately took down the principal and school psychologist. The attack was broadcast over the PA system, prompting teachers to take action in accordance with the lockdown protocol. Law enforcement arrived within minutes, but sadly, Lanza managed to kill twenty children—the majority of whom were six or seven—and six school administrators before killing himself. Two were left injured. Lanza’s weapons of choice were firearms that his mother had previously purchased, including a .22-calibre rifle and an AR-15, the civilian semiautomatic version of the military M16 assault rifle. Motive could not be conclusively determined, although many people relate it to mental illness. Following the massacre, President Barack Obama addressed the nation with tears in his eyes. Public outrage led to a push for federal changes to gun laws, but the bill did not pass; | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-deadliest-school-massacres-in-american-history.html |

He killed 32 people—27 of which were students—before shooting himself. Seventeen others suffered gunshot wounds, while many more were injured from trying to jump out the window. Police arrived quickly on the scene, but unaware of the gunman’s identity, they initially pursued the first victim’s boyfriend. Earlier in the school year, certain professors and students raised concerns about Cho due to his angry and violent written class assignments. Two days following the incident, NBC News received a package from Cho containing a video of him rambling on about “wealthy brats.” Besides this video, there is no evidence to suggest he targeted specific victims. Cho had a history of mental health issues, but had not been in contact with any support services since 2005. The massacre at Virginia Tech remains the worst school shooting in the United States. It was also the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history, but it was surpassed in 2016 when 49 people were killed at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-deadliest-school-massacres-in-american-history.html |

The Nations Of Europe By The Average Age At First Marriage
A happily married couple celebrating their new relationship. Marriage is a legally recognized union between two partners in a relationship. The average age to first get married varies from one country to another and is affected by several factors such as financial stability, career, academic pursuit, and family background. The average age for first marriage for men is slightly higher than that of women in most of the countries around the world mainly because of societal expectations and perceptions. However, the average age for the first marriage has been on the rise for the past two decades because of the postponement of family formation and increase in the cohabitation incidences as opposed to formal marriages. Average Age At First Marriage: Trends in Europe
Marriages are earliest in Eastern European countries where the bride’s age ranges between 22 and 26 years while the groom’s age range between 24 and 27 years. In Moldova, most men marry at the age of 26 while women are married as low as 24 years. Women in most countries in Central Europe such as Czech Republic, Hungary, Germany, and Belgium marry after the age of 27 years while most of the men marry at the age of 30 years. Northern, Southern, and Western Europe have the highest average age at first marriage for both men and women. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-nations-of-europe-by-the-average-age-at-first-marriage.html |

Northern, Southern, and Western Europe have the highest average age at first marriage for both men and women. Women in these countries marry at the age of about 30 years while men marry a bit later. Sweden has the highest average age at first marriage (34.6) with women marrying at 33.3 years and men at 35 years followed by Nordic countries (Iceland, Denmark, and Norway) and Spain. In most of the Nordic countries, about 30% of the women and fewer than 20% of the women aged between 25 and 29 are married. Factors Influencing Age At First Marriage
From the data, most of the wealthiest countries in Europe appear to have a higher average age at first marriage than their less developed counterparts. Most men and women postpone marriage in countries where they enjoy the higher social status, better education system, and employment. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-nations-of-europe-by-the-average-age-at-first-marriage.html |

Most men and women postpone marriage in countries where they enjoy the higher social status, better education system, and employment. Most of the young men and women in Nordic countries and other developed countries postpone marriage in pursuit of education and career in their youthful age and only marry at the later years of their lives. Many women across Europe prefer to live independently before they can commit to a marriage further delaying the age at first marriage. Cohabiting for a long duration is also a contributing factor to delayed marriages where couples feel no need of committing to marriage as long as they are comfortable together. On the other hand religion and the society play an important role in the early marriage in some of the countries in Europe. In these countries, delayed marriage may be considered a curse while peer pressure is also a contributing factor to early marriages. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-nations-of-europe-by-the-average-age-at-first-marriage.html |

Countries with higher mean age at first marriage are characterized by small families of an average of 2 children. On the other hand, people who marry early will likely have large families of an average of four children. Late marriages in Europe are likely to cause a generational gap in future if the trend continues as is the case currently. The Nations Of Europe By The Average Age At First Marriage

U.S. Cities With the Highest Cancer Mortality Rates
Lung cancer is common in many US cities. Recent research indicates that the number of cancer cases in the United States is rising significantly. In the year 2017, about 40,000 cases or more have been discovered in the US and the number is expected to increase in the following years. The most common types of cancer are breast cancer, lung cancer, and prostate cancer. Research indicates that about 600,920 Americans die annually due to cancer. Cancer is the second greatest cause of death in the US after heart diseases. However, some US cities have higher cancer rates than others. U.S. Cities With the Highest Cancer Mortality Rates
Sacramento, California
The Sacramento region incorporates sparsely populated counties, which are rich in diversity. Men are indicating high incidences of cancer compared to women. We can note this fact attributing to the high rates of prostate cancer seen in men. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/u-s-cities-with-the-highest-cancer-mortality-rates.html |

Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the US. Cancer in the US
Every year, millions of people are diagnosed with cancer and over 600,000 of them lose the fight in the United States. One out of every four deaths in the country is attributed to cancer, making it the second leading cause of death. The most common types of cancer here are: breast, cervical, colon, liver, lung, ovarian, prostate, and skin. As is seen across the globe, cancer diagnoses and deaths disproportionately affect the low-income states and regions of the US. This is due to a number of factors including lack of proper insurance coverage and unequal access to medical care. Unfortunately, some states suffer higher cancer-related death rates than others. Below is a look at those areas. US States with Highest Cancer Mortality Rates

Below is a look at those areas. US States with Highest Cancer Mortality Rates
Cancer mortality is the number of deaths attributed to cancer that occur within a year; it is presented as the number of deaths per 100,000 population. In the US, the three states with the highest cancer mortality rates are Kentucky (199.3 deaths out of 100,000 cancer patients), Mississippi (196.5), and West Virginia (190.5). These also happen to be the states that are consistently named the poorest in the country, both in economy and health. They are included in the southern region (with the exception of West Virginia which is sometimes southern, sometimes eastern) which some researchers have deemed the “cancer belt” of the US. Other southern states with high mortality rates include Arkansas (189.6), Louisiana (188.7), Oklahoma (185.4), Tennessee (185.4), and Alabama (182.1). | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/u-s-states-with-the-highest-cancer-mortality-rates.html |

The southern district is high in several types of cancers including brain and lung. Lung cancer can be attributed to the long history of tobacco industry in this region which has resulted in high numbers of smokers. Also on the list, but not in the southern region, are Indiana (179.4) and Missouri (179.1). Cancer Health Disparities
Cancer health disparities in these states are due to a number of factors, namely, low socioeconomic status. Residents of these states are likely to have a low socioeconomic status meaning they have attained lower levels of education, income, and community status. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/u-s-states-with-the-highest-cancer-mortality-rates.html |

Cancer health disparities in these states are due to a number of factors, namely, low socioeconomic status. Residents of these states are likely to have a low socioeconomic status meaning they have attained lower levels of education, income, and community status. A person’s socioeconomic status negatively affects their access to a higher quality of life, decreases their chance of having adequate health insurance, and often exposes them to dangerous jobs and housing locations with increased exposure to environmental toxins. It also influences controllable cancer risk factors resulting in a higher probability of smoking, drinking, sedentary activity, and obesity. Low socioeconomic status disproportionately affects African Americans, Latinos, and Whites living in the Appalachian region (Kentucky, West Virginia, and Tennessee from the list). These individuals are also more likely to die from cancer. The Burden of Poverty

But with such advanced medical technology in the US, why do so many people fall victim to cancer? All of the states on this list suffer from a lack of resources to carry out public health outreach campaigns like education and screenings. Many cancers, if diagnosed early on, can be prevented or successfully treated. When the state cannot invest in public health and when the people themselves cannot afford access to healthcare, health screening and prevention are often overlooked. These areas, therefore, have a reactive rather than a proactive approach to healthcare which can have fatal consequences when dealing with a cancer diagnosis. Indeed, one could say that poverty is actually the root cause of high mortality rates in these states. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/u-s-states-with-the-highest-cancer-mortality-rates.html |

U.S. States With The Highest Cancer Rates
Early detection is the first step in successful cancer treatment. Cancer has a major adverse impact on lives and societies across the globe. This fact is particularly true in the United States which has one of the highest rates of cancer in the world. Not only is cancer tragic for the patients and their families, but it is also detrimental to the healthcare system. In 2010, national expenditures for cancer reached $125 billion, and this figure is expected to increase to $156 billion by 2020. The cancer rate in the US is approximately 318 cases per 100,000 people. This article provides an outline of the states with the highest cancer rates. Causes of High Cancer Rates
Why is cancer so common in the US? Health professionals believe that some cancers cases are caused by unhealthy lifestyle choices. Residents in this country are more likely to be obese, consume large amounts of alcohol, and have sedentary lifestyles than in other parts of the world. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/u-s-states-with-the-highest-cancer-rates.html |

Why is cancer so common in the US? Health professionals believe that some cancers cases are caused by unhealthy lifestyle choices. Residents in this country are more likely to be obese, consume large amounts of alcohol, and have sedentary lifestyles than in other parts of the world. This, however, does not mean that the country is doomed to suffer from high cancer rates. Lifestyle is a choice, and the risk of developing cancer can be decreased by becoming physically active, losing weight, and eating healthy. States With Highest Rates of Cancer
Cancer rates in the US are highest in the eastern side of the country. Kentucky has the highest incidence with 512 people out of 100,000 developing the disease every year.

One of the poorest states in the nation, it has not sufficiently invested in cancer prevention and detection; therefore, the state also has the highest rate of deaths from cancer. Kentucky was founded on the tobacco industry, a legacy that remains today as nearly a quarter of the population smokes cigarettes. This smoking habit explains why lung cancer is higher here than any other state in the nation. The second highest cancer rate is found in Delaware where 490.6 out of every 100,000 residents will develop the disease annually. After being named as one of the states with the highest rates of cancer, Delaware increased its screening and prevention programs which has helped to improve survival and diagnoses rates. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/u-s-states-with-the-highest-cancer-rates.html |

Additionally, rates of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, thyroid, kidney, leukemia, endometrial, and pancreatic cancers are expected to rise in 2016. Many of these are treatable with early detection. Treatment Options
Cancer treatment options in the US include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, hormone therapy, stem cell transplant, and precision medicine.

U.S. States With The Lowest Cancer Rates
Following cancer screening recommendations, such as women undergoing mammograms, is important in cancer prevention. The US consists of 50 states and the Federal District of Washington, District of Columbia, the latter being where the national government is seated. These states record different rates of cancer, with some recording high levels while other states have low rates. According to Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) records, the top 10 states with the least cancer rates are New Mexico with 363.7 cases of all types of cancer out of every 100,000 residents. Arizona has 370.6 reported cases of all cancer out of every 100,000 people in the State
Factors Contributing to Low Cancer Rates
These states with low cancer rates have various reasons that lead them to have low cancer rate occurrences. Some of the leading factors influencing cancer rate are lifestyle behaviors, the use of medical care procedures, genetic predisposition, and environmental exposure to carcinogens (cancer-causing agents). Behaviors of the residents in these states involve the practice of healthier eating habits than those in other states. Many types of cancer are associated with unhealthy lifestyle and diet. These behaviors would include smoking, which is associated with lung cancer. In these states, the levels of tobacco smoking are relatively low compared to other states in the country. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/u-s-states-with-the-lowest-cancer-rates.html |

What Are The Differences Between Ecosystem And Environment? Protecting the environment and ecosystem is a duty of every human being on Earth. The words ecosystem and environment are often confused. Most people and reference materials use them interchangeably. Scientifically, an environment and an ecosystem are distinct but interrelated concepts. By definition, an environment refers to the habitat of living things but does not include the coexistence between the surrounding and living things. An ecosystem refers to the entire community; it encompasses the relationship between both living and nonliving things, and the environment. Environment
An environment is the immediate natural, social, or manmade surroundings of living and nonliving things. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-are-the-differences-between-ecosystem-and-environment.html |

The Conservative Party has a centre-right position in UK's politics. The party garnered the largest number of seats in the House of Commons at the last election in 2015 and is thus the party that formed the government. The party's chair is Theresa May who is currently the UK's Prime Minister. Among the major views of the party is the belief that free markets in addition to individual achievement drive economic growth. The party advocates for supply-side economics, a theory which stipulates that reduced income tax rates triggers GDP growth and thus amounts to the same or more revenue collected by the government from the lesser tax on the additional growth. This theory is in line with the party's advocacy for tax cuts. The Conservative Party has established a wide range of global alliances including ties with the US. Other views of the party are restrictions on trade union, a strong national defense, fiscal conservatism, and deregulation. Labour Party
The Labour Party occupies a centre-left position in UK's politics. After garnering 231 seats in the 2015 election, the Labour Party assumed the place of the Official Opposition. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-are-the-political-parties-of-the-united-kingdom.html |

Content: In economic terms, specialization results in a large advantage for the practitioner and its economy. The benefit of specialization comes from the fact that it permits the increase of profits and the decrease of costs. In other words, specialization is one of the best approaches to achieve profit maximization, which is the goal of the vast majority of for-profit businesses. How does monoculture make profit maximization possible? This agricultural practice produces larger-than-average crop harvest outputs by utilizing fewer resources (like pest control, for example) than a traditional farm might use. In terms of knowledge, specialization allows farmers or agricultural businesses to spend time and energy learning about just one specific species. An agricultural worker with specialized knowledge is able to improve upon cultivation techniques, disease and pest eradication methods, and harvest maximization. These improvements might be more difficult for an individual who can only learn very basic information about several types of plants. Maximizes Efficiency
Additionally, monoculture maximizes efficient use of soil and local climate conditions. In most instances, farmers and agricultural enterprises select the crop that will grow best in the available environment. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-are-the-pros-and-cons-of-monoculture.html |

Effects of Arsenic Poisoning
Content: It is also thought that trace quantities of the element could be a necessary dietary element in animals and even humans. However, larger doses lead to arsenic poisoning. Arsenic has been recognized as a carcinogen, with long-term exposure to arsenic being linked to a wide variety of health complications including several types of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Despite its toxicity, arsenic still has some industrial applications around the world. The most common source of arsenic poisoning is the consumption of contaminated water. Groundwater Contamination
The leading source of arsenic poisoning in humans is through drinking contaminated water. Some regions in the world have groundwater whose arsenic levels exceed the WHO set standards. Millions of people around the world inhabit these regions where groundwater is likely to contain arsenic, with some sources putting the figure as high as 200 million people. In the US states of Wisconsin, Nevada, Michigan, and North and South Dakota, groundwater has been assessed and found to contain concentrations of arsenic.

Politically independent and not bound by Italian rule, Vatican City operates as an enclave or territory surrounded on all sides by the country of Italy, and even more specifically by the city of Rome. Vatican City was founded in 1929 following the implementation of the Lateran Treaty, a bilateral agreement between the government of Italy and the Holy See. At the time of its signing, the Prime Minister of Italy was the notorious Fascist leader Benito Mussolini who was well known for having a tumultuous relationship with the church. Acting on behalf of King Victor Emmanuel III, Il Duce granted Vatican City the right to operate under the laws of the Roman Catholic Church rather than according to Italian law. The Lateran Treaty also formally established Catholicism as Italy’s national religion as well as awarded the Church $92 million for the Papal States. Italy
Due to the fact that Vatican City is surrounded by Italy, it isn’t surprising that this southern European country has had a major influence on the world’s smallest sovereign state and vice versa. Italy’s system of government operates as a constitutional republic. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-countries-border-vatican-city.html |

Content: Black and Postcolonial Ideology
Followers of this ideology believe that feminism has historically focused on the struggles and oppression of white women, particularly from the middle class. Black and postcolonial ideology was promoted by women in developing and postcolonial countries. The idea behind this viewpoint is that colonialism is responsible for women’s oppression. Under this ideology lies womanism, third-world feminism, and indigenous feminism. The Impact of Feminism
The argument that women are equal to men, and as such should have equal and equitable opportunities, has resulted in significant changes across a broad spectrum of social issues. The feminist movement has helped establish a woman’s right to choose early pregnancy termination, improved access to birth control, the right to own property, the right to work and receive equal pay (although in many countries women still receive less salary for the same work), and increased access to education. With these rights, more women began to enter the workforce, which brought about many changes in societal norms regarding their accepted household responsibilities. However, many sociologists argue that women now work the same number of hours as men and still continue to do the majority of housework. Language has also been affected by the feminist movement. In several countries, gender-neutral language has been adopted. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-is-feminism.html |

The truth is that the Catholic Church has a unique status in the world because of its religious and political influence. The Pope, who is the head of the Catholic Church, is both a political and religious leader. He is the head of both the Vatican City and the Holy See. The Vatican City is a city-state and the world’s smallest country by both population and geographical size. It covers an area of approximately 0.2 square miles and has a population of about 1,000 people. Although the city-state is an enclave within Italy’s capital city, Rome, it is a distinct territory with sovereign authority and exclusive dominion. The Vatican was created in 1929 following the signing of the Lateran Treaty between the Kingdom of Italy and the Pope (Pope Pius XI). According to this treaty, Italy fully recognizes the Holy See’s jurisdiction and sovereignty. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-is-the-difference-between-vatican-city-and-the-holy-see.html |

What Is The Environmental Impact Of Agriculture? Agriculture can have a massive impact on the ecosystems surrounding it. This environmental impact of agriculture is the effect of various farming practices, and it can vary greatly depending on the country we are looking at. Many critical environmental issues are tied to agriculture, such as climate change, dead zones, genetic engineering, pollutants, deforestation, soil degradation, waste, and many others. Deforestation is a big side effect of agriculture that greatly impacts our planet and the environment. It is defined as the clearing of the forests on our planet on a larger scale, and it causes land damage across the world. Irrigation, the process of applying controlled amounts of water to plants, can also create various problems for the environment. It can lead to the depletion of underground layers of water that are crucial for the environment.

Content: Naturally, the type of machinery used also plays a major role, as do the ways of handling livestock. Many critical environmental issues are tied to agriculture, such as climate change, dead zones, genetic engineering, pollutants, deforestation, soil degradation, waste, and many others. We usually divide the indicators of the environmental impact of agriculture into two types. The means-based type refers to the methods the farmers use in production, and the effect based types refer to the impact of farming methods on the farming system and the emissions on the environment. There are many ways in which agriculture can negatively impact the environment, but one of the most common ones is through climate change. The Effect On Climate Change
Climate change is closely related to agriculture. Both of these processes take place globally, and while climate change does affect agriculture negatively, through higher temperatures and carbon dioxide levels, it is much more interesting to take a look at how agriculture affects climate change. This mostly happens through the release of greenhouse gases. These gases have a negative effect on climate change and include carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide. Various types of agriculture also use fertilization and pesticides, which releases phosphorus and nitrate in the air, among other things. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-is-the-environmental-impact-of-agriculture.html |

Content: It is defined as the clearing of the forests on our planet on a larger scale, and it causes land damage across the world. Farmers often cause deforestation by clearing land for their crops. Most of the deforestation happens because of slash-and-burn farming. As the name implies, this method includes the cutting and burning of plants in order to create land suitable for farming. Caption
Other things that cause deforestation include palm oil plantations, cattle ranching, and heavy logging. Because of deforestation, many animal species lose their habitat, and as previously mentioned, it leads to climate change. Climate change and deforestation are the two biggest and most important ways through which agriculture impacts our environment. However, several others might not work on such a large scale but are still important.

Content: Research has shown, for example, that over 95% of herbicides and over 98% of insecticides do not reach the targeted pest. This is because pesticides are applied over large tracts of land and carried away by wind and water runoff. As these chemicals travel to other areas, they affect a number of plant and animal species. Additionally, storage, transportation, and production allow some quantities of pesticides to be introduced to the environment. While research concerning the exact impact of pesticides on the environment is varied, it has increased over the last few decades. As a result of some of this research, both the United States and the European Union have stopped using organophosphate and carbamate insecticides, some of the most toxic of all pesticides. Companies have begun developing pesticides with reduced side effects for non-target species as well. Impact Of Pesticides On Soil
Once applied to crops, pesticides work their way into the soil, where it has devastating effects. Perhaps the most detrimental of these effects is that pesticide causes biodiversity loss in soil. This means the soil has a lower quality overall and is less fertile. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-is-the-environmental-impact-of-pesticides.html |

Effects Of Rising Mean Sea Level
Content: Tectonic plate movement, atmospheric pressure, and even changing tides may result in short-term changes to the mean sea level. In this case, short-term is defined as anywhere from just a few minutes to just over a year. Despite these short-term changes, however, researchers have been able to identify some trends in measurements over a long period of time. The majority of scientists agree that the oceans have been rising at an average rate of around one-tenth of an inch every year over the last century. In the last two decades, however, the average annual increase has been 0.13 inches. Some of the principal causes of rising sea levels are melting glaciers, eroding shorelines, and increasing temperatures in the water. As the ocean absorbs the increasing temperatures above water, its own temperature increases. Hotter waters cause thermal expansion in the top layer of the ocean. The overall increase in temperature is the result of human activity, like burning fossil fuels, that releases large quantities of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

Although the mean sea level rise over the last century has remained relatively low, many researchers are worried that the average will increase exponentially in the coming years. These theories suggest that global climate change is occurring faster than previously believed. Because of the complexities behind climate patterns, calculating if the mean sea level will continue to rise is difficult. In fact, the global scientific community still has not reached a consensus on the expected growth of sea levels.

The fact that the mean sea level is rising has significant consequences around the world. Generally speaking, researchers tend to classify these consequences into 5 categories: increased water tables, higher levels of salinity, flooding, erosion, and storm damage. Coastal regions around the world are the most affected by the increasing sea levels. Entire ecosystems and habitats are destroyed as flooding and erosion tear through the land, which results in the loss of biodiversity in some of the most biodiverse regions around the world. This loss of species creates a ripple effect that goes on to negatively affect species in other habitats as well. Fish, seabirds, and marine turtles are just a few examples of animals that will be left without breeding grounds, shelter, and food. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-is-the-mean-sea-level-and-what-is-its-significance.html |

Vatican City, also known as the Holy See, is an example of a Catholic theocracy. It was founded in 1929, nearly six decades after the Kingdom of Italy captured Rome and the Papal States. Today, the ruler of Vatican City is the Pope. The citizens do not elect the Pope, but rather he is chosen by the College of Cardinals which consists of clerical men. The position of Pope is served for life, only ending after death or resignation. Once elected, the Pope appoints a Secretary for Relations with States to be in charge of maintaining and creating relations with other countries. The only individuals with voting power are Cardinals under the age of 80. The legal system is based on the Catholic Church’s canon law, but the Pope has the last word on which laws are enacted. Iran

It is the job of the Russian President to appoint a Prime Minister, which must be approved by the State Duma, the lower house of Russia’s parliament, known as the Federal Assembly. The Prime Minister then appoints members of his or her cabinet, who head government ministries and departments, such as the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Article 94 of the Russian constitution puts legislative power in the hands of the Federal Assembly, which is a bicameral legislature composed of two houses. The lower house is the previously-mentioned State Duma, and the upper house is called the Federation Council. The State Duma is composed of 450 members, who are elected for terms of five years. The Federation Council consists of two representatives from each constituent entity of the Russian Federation. One representative represents the legislative branches of the constituent entities, and the other represents the executives of those entities. Also, the Russian President has the right to appoint his own representatives to the Federation Council, so long as their numbers do not exceed 10% of all its members. The Constitution of the Russian Federation also establishes a judicial branch that is supposed to act independently of the executive and legislative branches of government.

Fall of Constantinople
Content: Considered the Eastern Roman Empire, it served as a military buffer between Asia and Europe, had a rich tradition of literature and art, as well as the most powerful economy in Europe. The Byzantine Empire survived for more than 1,000 years after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, but eventually fell to the Ottoman Empire in 1453. The city of Constantinople now exists as modern-day Istanbul, Turkey. Constantinople
Constantinople was the capital city of the Byzantine Empire. It was established as the center of the new empire in 330 AD and grew to become one of the largest and wealthiest cities in medieval Europe. The city survived numerous attacks and sieges, thanks to the elaborate and effective defense structure that surrounded it.

However, in 1453, after a long period of decline, Constantinople finally fell to the Ottoman Empire. The fall of the city also marked the end of the Byzantine Empire. Founding of Constantinople
Emperor Constantine I had an elaborate vision to consolidate the Christian Church and better unite the empire. However, Rome, which was the capital of the Roman Empire, was considered to be a hindrance to achieving these objectives as it was far from the empire's frontiers, armies, and imperial courts. The empire identified Byzantium as an ideal location for a capital city and imperial residence. The site could also be readily defended and had access to the Euphrates river. As a result, the city of Constantinople was built up over a period of six years, beginning in 324 AD, and consecrated on May 11, 330 AD. Since Constantinople was to serve as the emperor’s imperial capital, Constantine I ordered the construction of architecturally stunning buildings and impenetrable walls around the city. The walls would ensure that the city could survive attacks and sieges even after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-was-the-capital-of-the-byzantine-empire.html |

What Was the Cristero War? The Cristero War was fought between the church and state. The Cristero War (Cristero Rebellion or La Cristiada) took place between 1926 and 1928 in most central-western Mexico States against Mexican government’s anti-Catholic, anti-clerical, and secularist laws. President Plutarco Elías Calles enforced the laws (Calles Laws) in 1917 following the constitutional provisions to eliminate powers of the Catholic community and its institutions together with other religious celebrations. The rebellion was popular in rural areas and had the support of the Catholic Church. La Cristiada was a major struggle between the church and state. Background
During the Mexican revolution that took place from 1910-1920, the Catholic Church and state made an informal agreement not to implement anticlerical articles of the 1857 constitution. After the change of the country’s leadership, northern revolutionaries targeted the Catholic Church with violent anticlericalism. The new regime strengthened anticlerical criminal laws in 1926 and enforced them because the state felt that the Church was too powerful. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-was-the-cristero-war.html |

At the time, the Catholic Church was very powerful and had many followers. In many instances, they openly participated in politics through denouncing some political activities, supporting other activities and befriending factions of politicians.

At the time, the Catholic Church was very powerful and had many followers. In many instances, they openly participated in politics through denouncing some political activities, supporting other activities and befriending factions of politicians. The Calles Laws were enacted to clip the wings of the church. The rules were strict as priests were not allowed to wear their religious garbs outside church premises or criticize the government. In some areas, only a single priest was authorized to serve the church. Church properties, including schools, were seized and foreign priests expelled. Peaceful resistance by Catholics yield no results and led to small skirmishes in 1926 then to full violent uprisings in 1927. The rebels called themselves "Cristeros" and invoked the name “Cristo Rey”, meaning "Christ the King". | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-was-the-cristero-war.html |

The end of Hostility between the Church and the State
Content: Truce
The US Ambassador to Mexico, Dwight Whitney Morrow, engaged the church and the state diplomatically to end the war. The Knights of Columbus provided financial relief and logistical aid during the diplomatic process until the end. Worried, Pope Pius XI issued Quas Primas instituting the Feast of Christ the King in 1925 and Iniquis afflictisque (On the Persecution of the Church in Mexico), disapproving the fierce anti-clerical persecution in Mexico. After 1928, government oppression continued but in isolated cases with the pope responding each time. However, the Catholic Church did not support the Cristeros who kept fighting. The end of Hostility between the Church and the State
The Catholic Church and followers continued to suffer long after the truce. The Government introduced secular education in Catholic schools and monopolized most Catholic institutions despite the repeal of the Calles Laws. Calles’s successor, Lazaro Cardenas, would later condemn the laws and institute legal process against Calles and his associates, most of who ended in exile. In 1940, Manuel Avila Camacho, a Catholic, became president and restored the relationship that existed between the church and state. Joyce Chepkemoi August 1 2017 in Society

Content: Origins -
The dance style of salsa developed in the 1920s on the island of Cuba at the same time that a variety of music styles came together to make the style of salsa music. At this time Cuba was a fusion of different Latin dance styles and it was in this climate that a local Cuban studio named Fania named the new music salsa and began playing in on the radio and at clubs. This led to the music and dance of salsa taking off over Cuba and it then spread to South America and Miami. As the music traveled to these new regions, new musicians picked it up and the salsa dance followed it with new moves and elements being added. 3. Spread and Development -
As salsa spread out from Cuba went to the rest of the Caribbean, South America and to the heavily Latin communities in America a wide range of salsa dance styles started to form in specific regions. There is the Cuban-Style Casino salsa dance that developed over the middle of the 20th century and has a heavier Afro-Cuban rhumba influence. Considered to be the original salsa, the style has since spread all over the world and is considered an important part of Latin-American culture and heritage. While the salsa dance became extremely popular in South America, Columbia took the most love for it and created their own style, the Cali-Style Salsa. The style is named after the city of Cali, which is known as the capital of salsa. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/where-did-salsa-dance-come-from.html |
