Content: Costa Rica
Costa Rica's coastline on the Pacific Ocean is located along the country's southwestern edge. The Central American country is also considered to border the Atlantic Ocean, since it has coastline along the Caribbean Sea on its northeastern edge. Colombia
Colombia's coastline with the Pacific Ocean is situated on the western side of the country. The South American country is also considered to border the Atlantic Ocean since it borders one of its main marginal seas, the Caribbean Sea. Colombia's coastline on the Caribbean Sea is situated on the nation's northern edge. Russia
Given its massive size, Russia not only borders the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans, but it also borders the Arctic Ocean. Russia is considered to border the North Pacific Ocean, and has a coastline on two of the marginal seas of the Arctic Ocean, the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea. Russia has several ports along the Atlantic Ocean, the most prominent being St. Petersburg. Canada
Like Russia, Canada borders the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans, as well as the Arctic Ocean. Located in the northern part of North America, Canada borders the northern edge of the Pacific Ocean as well, as the northern edge of the Atlantic Ocean. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/which-countries-have-coastlines-on-both-the-atlantic-and-the-pacific-oceans.html |

Given its large size, the United States (US) borders both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, as well as the Arctic Ocean. Located in the middle part of North America, the US borders the northern section of the Pacific Ocean, and its ports include Los Angeles, Long Beach, and San Francisco. The country also borders the northern section of the Atlantic Ocean, with ports such as Jacksonville, Key West, and Palm Beach. Panama
Panama's coastline along the Pacific Ocean is situated on the country's southern edge. The Gulf of Panama is also close to Panama. The country is considered to border the Atlantic Ocean because it has coastline along the Caribbean Sea on its northern edge. The Panama Canal is one of the most important waterways in the region, as it links the Caribbean Sea to the Gulf of Panama, and therefore ultimately connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Construction of the Panama Canal dates back to the 19th century, when France initiated the project in the 1800s. However, the French government later decided to stop work on the project for various reasons, including a significant number of deaths among workers. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/which-countries-have-coastlines-on-both-the-atlantic-and-the-pacific-oceans.html |

Located in Central America, Honduras is another nation with a coastline on both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Honduras is considered to have a coastline on the Pacific Ocean since it borders the Gulf of Fonseca on the southern side. In addition to bordering the Caribbean Sea, Honduras also borders one of its primary inlets, the Gulf of Honduras.

Economic Significance of Coastline on More Than One Ocean
Having coastline on more than one ocean can be economically advantageous. For example, such nations have a larger exclusive economic zone (EEZ), which provides access to and rights over resources in the ocean. Additionally, bordering two or more oceans also increases the potential volume of trade that a nation could engage in due to a larger number of ports and harbors.

Content: The glacier also provides a valuable learning resource while studying the effects on climate change. Tourism
Aletsch glacier is part of the Jungfrau-Aletsch, which is a protected area and it was listed by UNESCO in 2001 as a natural World Heritage Site due to its elegance. The glacier is a major tourist attraction with visitors getting to enjoy an up-close view on the trail that runs from Riederalp to Fiescheralp on the northern side of the Aletsch-Arena. Tourists following the trail get through the Aletsch Forst to reach the edge of the glacier when their ice-cold experience begins. Tourist going to the area could also enjoy paragliding and hand gliding over the ice. Threats To The Glacier
The glacier has retreated almost 1.9 miles since 1870. The retreat of the glacier has in recent years increased just like other glaciers around the world due to climate change. The buildup of greenhouse gasses from cars, power-plants, and factories has been blamed for global warming. Glaciology experts have warned that the Aletsch glacier may lose up to 90% of its ice volume by 2100. The next generation of adventurers is likely to have very different scenery in the Alps. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/which-is-the-largest-glacier-in-the-alps.html |

Who Invented the Telephone? Various forms of the telephone have existed since it was first patented in the United States in 1876. Invention of the Telephone
Born on March 3, 1847, Alexander Graham Bell was an inventor, scientist, and innovator. He came up with and patented the first practical telephone. Bell’s father and grandfather engaged in a speech development program known as elocution, and as a result, Bell was inspired to study communication and speech. Bell’s extensive research work was also strongly influenced by the fact that his mother and wife were deaf. Although Bell patented the electromagnetic transfer of vocal sound, Antonio Meucci is credited as having created the very first telephone. Alexander Graham Bell’s Early Life and Education
Bell was born in Edinburg, Scotland to Eliza Grace and Professor Alexander Melville Bell. He had two brothers, Melville and Edward Bell. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/who-invented-the-telephone.html |

Content: In 1863, Bell’s father arranged a trip for Bell to see an automaton. It had been developed by Sir Charles Whitestone. The machine, which simulated human voice, impressed the young Bell, who later became a professor in elocution at Boston University. Subsequently, Bell started performing experiments on sound and even built his first automaton head. Alexander eventually began using electricity to transmit sound, and also installed a telegraph wire to assist in his experiments of transmitting sound from one place to another. By 1874, Bell’s experiments became greatly successful. One such experiment was on the phonautograph, which was a machine that could use vibrations to draw shapes on a piece of glass. In 1875, Bell developed an acoustic telegraph (telephone) and applied for it to be patented. Afterwards, on March 10, 1876, he succeeded in making his telephone work. Subsequently, over 145,000 people in the United States possessed a telephone by 1886. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/who-invented-the-telephone.html |

Case Study: China–US Trade War
The Tariff Debate
Content: In fact, currently, President Trump has been a strong advocate of tariffs to generate income. However, it should be noted that they do not generate that much income compared to other sources. Aside from revenue, tariffs can be used as a means of negotiation. If two countries trade, then one of them may impose tariffs to get the other one to reduce or remove trade barriers that may be present or force the other country to agree to something. Side Effects of Tariffs
Despite their best intentions, tariffs can actually cause some negative consequences. For example, by reducing external competition, local companies and industries may become less efficient and innovative. This may eventually trickle down to the end consumer because a lack of competition means a monopoly, which translates to increased prices. Tariffs can also generate tension if they are deemed to favor some industries or regions. For example, a tariff that favors firms in the city may end up hurting those in rural areas. Just like above, the end consumer may also be forced to pay more for the product. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/why-do-countries-impose-tariffs.html |

This cycle leads to a trade war that is never good for either economy. A good example is the trade war between China and the United States that started in 2018 with President Trump. In some cases, a severe trade war may even promote xenophobic tendencies. Case Study: | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/why-do-countries-impose-tariffs.html |

The Tariff Debate
Content: China–US Trade War
This is the perfect case study because these two countries have the world’s largest economies. The war started in 2018 when President Trump decided to impose tariffs and other barriers to force the Chinese to agree to some changes. The US argued that China needed to stop some unfair practices such as stealing intellectual property, forced transference of American technology, and other things. In response, the Chinese hit back with tariffs of their own. On the ground, the war has had quite a number of unintended consequences. Manufacturers and consumers have had to deal with higher prices while some nations have also been adversely affected. It is important to note that some countries have benefited by increasing manufacturing to fill any trade gaps created by the wars. The stock markets have also grown highly unstable. Essentially, the whole global economy has felt the ripples in some way and uncertainty is abound. The Tariff Debate
There is almost a consensus that tariffs always lead to negative effects. | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/why-do-countries-impose-tariffs.html |

Key Facts
Content: This large stretch of land is frequently referred to as the Boundary Waters Region, a wilderness of lakes and rivers carved into the bedrock by the movement of glaciers, and surrounded by thick green forests. Along the south-eastern border with Wisconsin, the St Croix River and the Mississippi River now flow through mostly deep, rugged valleys, all carved (over the centuries) by the relentless movement of water. The most important river in Minnesota is Mississippi. It rises in north-western Minnesota and then flows south to the Gulf of Mexico, just below the city of New Orleans. It serves as a significant transportation artery and when combined with its major tributaries (the Missouri and Ohio rivers) it becomes the world’s third-largest river system, with a length of 2,339 miles (3,765 km). Other rivers of note include the Minnesota, Rainy, Red, and St. Croix. Altogether, there are about 6,564 natural rivers and countless streams in the state. Minnesota is the "Land of 10,000 Lakes", some of them include Lake of the Woods (with over 14,000 counted islands), Red Lake (both upper and lower), Mille Lacs, and Lake Superior. The state’s lowest point is the surface of Lake Superior, at an elevation of 602ft. Counties Map

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Newsletters
Content: According to the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM), foreign invested enterprises account for over half of China's exports and imports; they provide for 30% of Chinese industrial output, and generate 22% of industrial profits while employing only 10% of labor – because of their high productivity. Evidence on technology spillovers is more limited, but industries with higher FDI seem to have higher productivity increases than other industries, suggesting a positive effect. Importantly, foreign investment has catalyzed China’s economic reform. Together, these contributions have supported China in maintaining a record-high 10 percent growth rate during most of the 1980-2010 period. FDI policies in China have evolved alongside economic development and strengthened institutional capacity. A gradual and prudent approach has been taken in the process of liberalization. When market institutions were not fully in place in 1980s and 1990s, China experimented with opening up to foreign investment in selected coastal cities and in special economic zones/industrial parks with a focus on attracting export-oriented manufacturing FDI. Corresponding to China’s shift of its development goal from an emphasis on GDP growth towards a more harmonious balanced development, China made a radical commitment to services liberalization in its accession to WTO. This has triggered a shift of FDI to service industries. | https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/feature/2010/07/16/foreign-direct-investment-china-story |

Content: The $1 piece is also colloquially known as a "buck." The $10 bill as an Eagle. While these terms are quite common within the U.S., the terms of the dime, nickel and eagle have never been officially established. Calling the dollar a "greenback" dates back to the time of the first bills around 1861, when it was given the distinctive green color. The largest actually existing bill bears the portrait of Woodrow Wilson and has a value of 100,000 USD. Even though it is still legal tender today, it was never in circulation, but was merely exchanged between central banks starting in 1934. The largest banknote still printed today is the $100 bill. All bills with higher denominations were withdrawn by the Federal Reserve Bank in 1945. US Dollar as currency

Content: American military casualties spiked to 15 000 by the year 1967. This sparked public outrage/protests by American citizens. In 1973, the US backed out from the war. About 2 million Vietnamese were killed, 3 million were wounded and refugee numbers jumped to 12 million. Even though Vietnam was destroyed, America had lost the war. About 58 000 Americans were killed or missing in action. The US had spent about $120 billion in the war from 1965 to 1973. | https://www.worldhistoryedu.com/a-brief-history-of-the-vietnam-war/ |

Jim Crow Laws in education
It was a normal thing in the South – schools were racially-segregated. During the active slave trade (prior to the American Civil War), it was completely illegal for black slaves to attend schools. When African Americans later had the chance to go to school, Jim Crow Laws prevented them from sitting in the same classroom with white students. Social Jim Crow Laws
Not all the Jim Crow Laws were officially stated. Some white folks used their false perception of superiority to look down on black people at every least chance. For instance, black men who excelled in their businesses were subjected to very harsh treatments. It was not uncommon for black businesses to be set ablaze by jealous white supremacists. At the workplaces, black women risked being sacked from their jobs, if they failed to make way for white workers to pass. Marriage and Relationships
By law, an inter-racial marriage between colored and white was not allowed. A marriage between a Negro and white person could not be upheld in the court. | https://www.worldhistoryedu.com/jim-crow-laws-list-and-history/ |

Content: The South African embassy in Nigeria was closed due to threats. If you are traveling to Nigeria, here are a few tips on what to do if you are traveling in a country experiencing civil unrest. Terrorism in Nigeria
Terrorist attacks can happen anywhere in Nigeria, and there are multiple terrorist groups operating across the country. Terrorist groups include The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), al Qaeda-linked terrorist group Ansaru (Jamaat al Ansar al Muslimeen fi Bilad al Sudan), Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa (ISWA). MEND is the group focused on oil and aims to take control of this and other natural resources, such as gas, in the country, particularly the region of the Niger Delta. The UK Government advisory states that, "Most attacks take place in northern and north east Nigeria", however, there have been a significant number of attacks elsewhere. Travelers should pay attention to their surroundings at all times, and stay alert. Follow local news reports, and during periods of civil unrest, avoid crowded places or large gatherings. No-go zones
Several Nigerian provinces are considered no-go areas due to terrorist and criminal activities and attacks. The British and US Government travel advisories both caution against travel to Borno, Yobe State and Northern Adamawa State due to a high risk of terror attacks. | https://www.worldnomads.com/travel-safety/western-africa/nigeria/nigeria-is-it-safe |

Trump has openly criticized Dominion as he attempts to challenge voting results across the country, alleging widespread voter fraud and tweeting about the company Friday afternoon: “ Now it is learned that the horrendous Dominion Voting System was used in Arizona (and big in Nevada),” Trump tweeted. “ No wonder the result was a very close loss!” Powell went on to say: “Altering a vote or changing a ballot is a federal felony. People need to come forward now and get on the right side of this issue and report the fraud they know existed in Dominion Voting Systems because that’s what it was created to do. It was its sole original purpose and has been used all over the world to defy the will of people who wanted freedom. “President Trump won this election in a landslide.

Faith leaders in Sierra Leone played an integral role in combatting the spread of Ebola. Early on in the outbreak, the Rev. Peter Kainwo, right, and imam Alhaji Mustapha Alpha Koker went through World Vision's Channels of Hope training to learn how to talk about sensitive aspects of Ebola among their communities. The two leaders swapped pulpits to emphasize to their congregations the urgency of preventing Ebola's spread. In all, 460 imams and pastors and 150 village leaders have been trained on Ebola prevention. " When faith leaders got involved … it was a turning point," says Dr. Alhaji Turay, district medical officer in Bo, Sierra Leone. " They convinced people in churches and mosques to stop touching and burying Ebola victims, who remain highly infectious."

Content: From habitat loss to pollution, agriculture contributes to many of the environmental challenges that WWF actively addresses. Land Conversion
Agricultural expansion is a major driver of deforestation and other ecological destruction, decimating habitats and biodiversity. Oil palm displaces lowland forests in Indonesia while soy production damages the Cerrado and Atlantic Forests of Brazil and Paraguay. Loss of forests and unsustainable farming practices lead to extreme erosion. During the past 150 years, half of all agricultural topsoil has been lost. Pollution
Agriculture is the leading source of pollution in many countries. Pesticides, fertilizers and other toxic farm chemicals can poison fresh water, marine ecosystems, air and soil. They also can remain in the environment for generations. Many pesticides are suspected of disrupting the hormonal systems of people and wildlife. Fertilizer run-off impacts waterways and coral reefs. | https://www.worldwildlife.org/industries/sustainable-agriculture |

They also can remain in the environment for generations. Many pesticides are suspected of disrupting the hormonal systems of people and wildlife. Fertilizer run-off impacts waterways and coral reefs. Poverty
Farming is the only viable livelihood option for three-quarters of the world's extremely poor people. Subsidies provided by U.S. and European governments to their agriculturalists encourage overproduction, which drives down world prices and forces many producers in developing countries to cut corners environmentally. Producers facing declining harvests from cleared lands expand into surrounding wild lands that are rich in biodiversity, resulting in a cycle of increasing poverty and biodiversity loss. Water Consumption
The agricultural sector consumes about 69 percent of the planet's fresh water. Without creative conservation measures in place, agricultural production consumes excessive water and degrades water quality. | https://www.worldwildlife.org/industries/sustainable-agriculture |

Content: Sea Vegetables You Already Eat ~ Many Americans’ association with seaweed is from eating sushi, as it is used as a wrapping, and as an ingredient in miso soup. But what you may not know is sea vegetables are used widely as food additives. You may have seen what are known as hydrocolloids in the ingredient lists of many processed foods. Agar, alginate, and carrageenan are the most common. The foods you may be eating every day that include these food stabilizers include soy milk, ice cream, mayonnaise, processed meats, margarine, diet soda, and instant pudding. You may have to go to health food stores or Asian markets to find a variety of sea vegetables. Although available fresh as in seaweed salads, they are generally sold dried and then reconstituted in water for at home cooking. There are also powders and flakes available to add to soups, stews, and salads. The dried varieties have an indefinite shelf life and maintain their nutritious qualities. Well-known brands in America include Eden Foods, Maine Coast Sea Vegetables and Rising Tide Sea Vegetables. | https://www.wozzkitchencreations.com/blogs/creative-nutrition/7680345-sea-vegetables-wakame-nori-irish-moss-kelp-kombu-dulse-hijiki-and-arame |

Many elderly in the US elderly can work and may want to work. But will employers hire them? If employers will hire them, what kind of jobs will they give them? Many employers in the US job market, don’t consider the resumes of elderly applicants. This cuts off one lifeline the elderly need. The lifeline is vital for the accumulation of financial savings through their late in life jobs and careers. Aging in Place

The most useful one he says is simply called mindfulness. “I find that really helpful – learning how to slow my thinking down, and learning how to process things that I’m going through in order to make better decisions,” said Clint. Clint is among the 82 percent of patients who have been diagnosed with a personality disorder specifically related to sex offending. Another 10 percent have a serious mental illness such as schizophrenia, and 9 percent are labeled mentally retarded. Sand Ridge research director David Thornton says there is also minority of patients who simply refuse treatment. “You'll have some individuals who essentially made the life choice that committing sex offenses and thinking about committing future sex offenses is a life that they enjoy better than what would be involved in the hard work of changing themselves and living in a law abiding way in the community,” said Thornton. Even the patients who don't cooperate with the therapy requirements have the same right to petition a court for release as those who do undergo treatment – but their likelihood of success is slim. One patient interviewed for this story did win a court battle for release without going through treatment. Thomas served 17 years in prison for sexual assault before being committed to Sand Ridge in 2004. | https://www.wpr.org/inside-sand-ridge-secure-treatment-center |

Content: Sand Ridge research director David Thornton says there is also minority of patients who simply refuse treatment. “You'll have some individuals who essentially made the life choice that committing sex offenses and thinking about committing future sex offenses is a life that they enjoy better than what would be involved in the hard work of changing themselves and living in a law abiding way in the community,” said Thornton. Even the patients who don't cooperate with the therapy requirements have the same right to petition a court for release as those who do undergo treatment – but their likelihood of success is slim. One patient interviewed for this story did win a court battle for release without going through treatment. Thomas served 17 years in prison for sexual assault before being committed to Sand Ridge in 2004. During an interview before his release, Thomas voiced a concern many patients at Sand Ridge share: He says if a mental illness diagnosis is the trigger for commitment to the center, then men like him should have the option of getting outpatient treatment instead of being locked up. “Why not go to the mental health facility in your community, like Green Bay?” said Thomas. “ They have Brown County (Community Treatment Center) – why not then go in there? | https://www.wpr.org/inside-sand-ridge-secure-treatment-center |

The effect of a metaphor on your readers
Metaphor is a powerful tool for writers and poets but what effect does it have on your readers?
• ‘ All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players’ – William Shakespeare
• ‘ Hope is the thing with feathers’ – Emily Dickinson
• ‘ The parents looked on Matilda in particular as nothing more than a scab’ – Roald Dahl
• Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life - Pablo Picasso
Is your mind a bud ready to bloom, your pen a fountain ready to gush? Time to get creative... what you know is magic.
Content: His use of metaphorical language gives us a beautifully vivid impression of a mind full of bright, sparkling ideas that will not coalesce into a pattern. • ‘ All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players’ – William Shakespeare
Metaphor is a psychological as well as literary technique to help create understanding. For a writer, it is a way of using language to manipulate the way the reader responds. Metaphor allows a writer to control the way readers perceive what’s been written. A metaphor has the effect of showing a thing in a way that shines a new light on it (see, a metaphor about metaphors!) and a skilled writer can use it to illustrate a character’s viewpoint as well as illuminate the narrator’s point of view. • ‘ Hope is the thing with feathers’ – Emily Dickinson
Unlike simile (ie not ‘like a…’), which is a direct comparison, one effect of a metaphor on a reader is that it helps with ‘show not tell’. Metaphor, which allows writers to convey vivid imagery that transcends literal meanings, creates images that are easier to understand and respond to than literal language. Metaphorical language activates the imagination, and the writer is more able to convey emotions and impressions through metaphor. Metaphor expresses nuances for which no standard vocabulary exists, and entices readers to think in abstract ways. | https://www.writers-online.co.uk/how-to-write/creative-writing/the-effect-of-a-metaphor-on-your-readers |

One effect of metaphor is to make writing memorable. Making language more colourful and interesting, it has the effect of charming, or pleasing, or entertaining the reader, making them see something in a whole new light. Through metaphor, a writer can create unique analogies (a little girl/a scab) and add texture and interest to the way things are shown that works much better than factual description. By allowing the writer the possibility of stronger descriptions, metaphor has the effect of creating writing with strong impact and a lasting impression. • Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life - Pablo Picasso
Using metaphor allows a writer to create images related to dreaming, and use words to beautiful effect. | https://www.writers-online.co.uk/how-to-write/creative-writing/the-effect-of-a-metaphor-on-your-readers |

Learning to understand poetry also gives the mental fortitude, as well as the drive, to understand written communication (an invaluable trait in business, from my perspective). 3. POETRY HELPS IMPROVE IDEAS
Have you ever sat there and not known what to write? Picking up poetry, reading through different excerpts from classic poets can blossom ideas you never knew existed. Reading and writing poetry makes you think of new ideas, but can also dramatically change the way you perceived old ones. It is a way to process experiences, visual descriptions, and emotions. pinterest-pin-it

Biblio/Poetry Therapy is a creative arts therapy using the written word to understand, and then communicate, feelings and thoughts. Poetry is typically short, but largely emotional. Writers get in touch with sentiments they might not have known they had until it was down on paper. Depression and anxiety are among the top two mental illnesses being treated with Biblio-therapy, and through poetry, one can start to understand the hindrances and blocks being formed around their mind. Expressing how one feels is difficult. I’ve found that poetry is one of the best outlets. 5. | https://www.writersdigest.com/whats-new/8-reasons-why-poetry-is-good-for-the-soul |

For those who have a harder time expressing themselves, reading poetry can have a similar positive effect as writing it. Reading poetry allows one to see into the soul of another person, see what is weighing on their minds and on their hearts, and can open doors to feelings that are sometimes suppressed until that door is opened. Reading can shine a light on all those dark and hidden crevices of the heart and mind once thought permanently closed off to the world. *****

One gains the utmost appreciation for them when handling delicate sentence structures provided in poetry pieces. 7. POETRY HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND PEOPLE
One of the hardships of the current age is the ability to understand one another. Miscommunication and misunderstandings lead to mass amounts of frustration. Reading and writing poetry actually gives people the improved ability to understand others. From a writer’s prospective, you have to be able to convey the true nature of your writing to an unknown reader. That means diving deep into what parts you want them to understand, what you want them to feel, and what to take home with them that will resonate long after reading. For a reader of poetry, it gives you the patience to look into someone else’s mind and cultivate empathy for another person. | https://www.writersdigest.com/whats-new/8-reasons-why-poetry-is-good-for-the-soul |

Ever felt out of place? Have you ever wondered why you are thinking or feeling a certain way? Ever been frustrated because your friends or partners couldn’t ever possibly understand you because you don’t even understand what is going through your head? I have found that the best way to grasp internal turmoil is to write poetry. It slows the world down around you. It streamlines your thoughts to short, direct sentences, while soothing the anxiety out of your body with the lyrical style. It makes you think. | https://www.writersdigest.com/whats-new/8-reasons-why-poetry-is-good-for-the-soul |

Many Americans resented the fact that a majority of immigrants never really intended to become Americans and were merely in their country to earn money before they returned home to their families. Due to the fact that there was such a great inflow of immigrants there was always a lack of jobs, and many immigrants were considered to be strike breakers, as they would be called in to take jobs when worker had gone on strike. The resentment that American's felt towards immigrants would be amplified when they were unable to find a job, or wages were lowered because there were so many people willing to work for a small wage. Another aspect that added greatly to the up surging or nativism in America was the World Wars. With the rise of the Kaiser and the Nazi party Americans became more and more anti-German. American opinion of Germany was already ill-disposed, but was further inflamed against the Kaiser and Germany when a German operative in 1915 absentmindedly left his briefcase on a New York elevated car. Its contents included documents detailing plans for industrial sabotage which were quickly discovered and publicized.

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848 was negotiated with Santa Anna by Nicholas P. Trist, the chief clerk of the State Department, and gave America the area from California to Texas for only $15 million plus a United States promise to assume the claims of Americans against the Mexican government. This gave America the prize of California, which it had sought before, as well as respect from foreign nations, particularly Britain, that looked down upon the American military as week and ineffective. The war had a downside, however, it created more conflict over slavery, and basically trained American troops for the bloody battlefields of the Civil War. Although it had many costs that only escalated the divide between the north and the south, the Mexican War was beneficial to American because it increased its land by one third and gave it much needed respect for a relatively small cost. Loss of California, Nevada, Arizona and other regi...

Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, Exchange Copy, cover....
The biggest and most lasting benefit of the Mexican war was the significant land gain that was achieved by Nicholas P. Trist in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. The area that stretched from Texas to California accounted for about one half of all Mexican land increased America's land by around one third, which was a significant gain considering the relatively small cost, which ended up being around 13,000 American troops and $15 million for the land, plus a promise by the American Government to assume all American claims against Mexico. The biggest prize of the new land was California, which President James Polk had unsuccessfully attempted to buy from Mexico before the outbreak of war. Aside from giving America more room to grow, the gain in land meant that America stretched roughly from coast to coast, enhancing the spirit of manifest destiny that America had a mandate from...

Unfortunately, the cotton gin also caused a higher demand for slave labor, and by 1860, approximately 33% of Southerners were slaves. The system of interchangeable parts introduced Americans to mass production. When Eli Whitney took the government order of 10,000 muskets, he showed that the majority of goods could be mass-produced. Both the cotton gin and mass production method would revolutionize the United States. In addition, tariffs helped protect American trade. The British stored goods during the war and flooded them on America when peace was achieved. To combat the inundation of imports, the national government issued a tariff to encourage people to buy American products and stimulate the growth of the economy. | https://www.writework.com/essay/did-america-change-after-war-1812-essay-describes-economic |

Moreover, the tariff assisted in rebuilding the federal treasury. After a growth in trade, the Panic of 1819, the country's first major economic setback, hit. Europeans demanded American grain, meat, tobacco and cotton; farm products and land prices soared as farmers rushed to increase production. State banks would make loans to anyone who needed money to buy land or farm equipment. | https://www.writework.com/essay/did-america-change-after-war-1812-essay-describes-economic |

State banks would make loans to anyone who needed money to buy land or farm equipment. Afterwards, the country began to fall into depression as Europeans began to buy less expensive cotton from India and bumper crops. Crop prices and land prices collapsed; land values in Pennsylvania dropped from $150 an acre to $35 in four years. Unemployment increased with 50,000 people unemployed or erratically employed in New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. Furthermore, state banks failed, and the federal bank foreclosed mortgages on homes, farms and shops. | https://www.writework.com/essay/did-america-change-after-war-1812-essay-describes-economic |

Andrew Jackson looked on toward a new democracy after his victory at New Orleans. The changes in this time period, after the war of 1812, would send America into a troubled future. The Post war political and economic changes would prove to be another stepping stone in America's evolving democracy. The political changes after the War of 1812 would redefine America's newly founded Democracy and contribute to a greater national government. Andrew Jackson gained America's respect after his victory at New Orleans and was later elected President in 1829. Jackson and his cabinet invested power into an powerful Executive Branch. The Jackson democrats tended to exaggerate the puissance of the lower class poor while decreasing the influence of the rich and potent and aristocracy. Andrew Jackson abolished restrictions on voting and increased active participation in the government by the lower and middle classes. Jackson also made the government more directly responsible to the people without the use of federally funded improvements. Jackson Park

The Monroe Doctrine stated that European nations may not interfere or influence nations or colonies in the Western Hemisphere.

The U.S. continued to enforce this Doctrine to this day, with perhaps the most famous example being President Kennedy's Cuban Blockade.

Content: It was there for everyone to see. Death on the shrinking face. "ÃÂ (305). The boy has learned that death is going to take his dear friend away from him. Once he acknowledges this fact, he sprees from Mr. Woodsworth's house in a cloud of troubled emotions knowing that he would probably never see him again. Even though he never actually witnessed or been told that his friend had died he still felt a loss of something that meant a lot to him in life. The other momentous loss in this story is that of a loved one to someone, the loss of B. Woodsworth's wife and unborn child. One can tell that the poet was caused much grief from this happening by the way he tells the story to the young boy that adores him. " But this poet was never born, because the girl died, and the young poet died with her, inside her. And the girl's husband was very sad, and he said he would never touch a thing in the girl's garden. | https://www.writework.com/essay/theme-loss |

Why You Need to Know the Difference Between Good and Bad Writing
Content: Who cares if your books are full of typos, bad grammar, and poor logic as long as you have published lots and made a bunch of money? Readers care. Agents, publishers, and reviewers also care. And while you can still make a million with a bunch of badly written books and a stellar marketing scheme, your work won’t be taken seriously. Also (and this is critical), while it’s possible to make it big by writing badly, it’s not likely. It happens, but it doesn’t happen often. The better your writing, the better your chances for securing a readership and building a career. The Characteristics of Good Writing
So, what constitutes good writing? Opinions on the matter vary widely. There will be different traits that make good fiction versus good poetry or good nonfiction. | https://www.writingforward.com/better-writing/characteristics-of-good-writing |

Content: Storytelling: Storytelling is the most popular form of creative writing and is found in the realms of both fiction and nonfiction writing. Popular forms of fiction include flash fiction, short stories, novellas, and full-length novels; and there are tons of genres to choose from. True stories, which are usually firsthand or secondhand accounts of real people and events, can be found in essays, diaries, memoirs, speeches, and more. Storytelling is a tremendously valuable skill, as it can be found in all other forms of writing, from poetry to speech writing. Speeches: Whether persuasive, inspirational, or informative, speech writing can lead to interesting career opportunities in almost any field or industry. Also, speech-writing skills will come in handy if you’re ever asked to write and deliver a speech at an important event, such as a graduation, wedding, or award ceremony.

Figurative Language in Poetry Writing

Figurative language in poetry writing. What is figurative (as opposed to literal) language? Figurative language says one thing but means another. However, figurative language does not intend to deceive. There is an expectation that figurative language will be understood and correctly interpreted by the listener or reader. We get the term “figure of speech” from figurative language. In poetry, we frequently use figurative language, because it can be more meaningful, vivid, and expressive. Let’s take a closer look at figurative language and how we can best use it in poetry writing. Figurative Language
Most clichés are figures of speech: He’s as old as the hills. | https://www.writingforward.com/poetry-writing/figurative-language-in-poetry-writing |

Content: She’s not really a diamond. I’m still here, so I couldn’t have been scared to death. And your nerves might be strong, but they’re not actually made of steel. None of these statements are meant to be taken literally. We all know that it’s best to avoid stale clichés in writing, but fresh figurative language enhances our work. And whether it’s fresh or not, almost everyone uses figurative language, but why? Here are just a few reasons figurative language is so effective: Figurative language adds dimension to our prose and poetry, allowing us to say things with more flair and color. Figurative language tends to be vivid, so it pops and comes alive in people’s imaginations. Figurative language allows us to say more in fewer words. | https://www.writingforward.com/poetry-writing/figurative-language-in-poetry-writing |

We often use figurative language in imagery (sensory details), making our language more sensuous and visceral.

Figurative language engages our emotions. “ He’s very old” simply doesn’t inspire the same emotional response as “He’s as old as the hills.” Figurative language allows us stronger or more intense expressions; this is commonly seen in the use of vulgarity, which is often used figuratively and to add intensity to an expression. Literary Devices That Embody Figurative Language
Many literary devices, which are common in poetry, employ figurative language. Here are a few examples: Metaphor: presenting one thing as something else, usually for demonstrative purposes: | https://www.writingforward.com/poetry-writing/figurative-language-in-poetry-writing |

Emotional and Intellectual Benefits of Writing Poetry
Content: Writing has long been hailed as a deeply therapeutic practice. In fact, all the arts have therapeutic benefits. But poetry imparts a broad range of emotional and intellectual benefits that are useful to personal growth, whether we’re working on self-improvement, emotional or psychological coping and healing, developing relationships, and even furthering our careers — including careers outside of the writing field. And while all forms of writing, from journaling to storytelling, can be therapeutic, poetry writing offers some unique benefits. Emotional and Intellectual Benefits of Writing Poetry
Whether you want to stimulate your intellect or foster emotional health and well-being, poetry writing has many benefits to offer: Therapeutic: Poetry fosters emotional expression and healing through self-expression and exploration of one’s feelings.

Tips for Developing Theme
Content: Often confused with plot, theme is actually a worldview, philosophy, message, moral, ethical question, or lesson. However, these labels, taken alone or together, don’t quite explain theme in fiction. We can think of a theme as an underlying principle or concept, the topic at the center of the story. Themes are often universal in nature. Some common universal themes are based on motifs of redemption, freedom, equality, sacrifice, betrayal, loyalty, greed, justice, oppression, revenge, and love. Themes can also be personal and part of the human condition. Such themes could explore issues surrounding loneliness, trust, commitment, or family. However, a story’s theme is more than an idea that can be expressed in a single word. The concept of freedom can form the foundation of a story’s theme, which could be anything from “one should not sacrifice freedom for security” to “freedom is worth dying for.” Themes in Storytelling

Content: Unfortunately, feminism has made some missteps that patriarchal culture exploited to give the movement a bad name. The first phenomenon was the rise of an anti-male feminist faction, comprised of many women who came from abusive relationships with men and harbored understandable anger. Then came the denial, mainly from white, well-educated, upper-class feminists, that race and class play a formative role in womanhood. These women focused their attention on the white-collar work world, leaving masses of working class and impoverished women behind. To top it off, feminism scared many people away by undervaluing love and becoming overtly academic. Mass media capitalized on these missteps to label feminists as "man-haters." The media amplified anti-male feminists and portrayed them as the feminist archetype. As bell hooks note, "Conservative mass media constantly represented feminist women as man-haters. And when there was an anti-male faction or sentiment in the movement, they highlighted it as a way of discrediting feminism...Feminists who called for a recognition of men as comrades in struggle never received mass media attention." But contrary to common perception, feminism embraces men. | https://www.writingonglass.com/bell-hooks |

She details the ways in which patriarchy betrays men, encouraging them to suppress emotion, devalue communication, and seek power and dominance -- all of which lead men to lives lacking in fulfillment. And she emphasizes there must be feminist education available for males. " Men often tell me they have no idea what it is feminists want," she recounts in Feminism is for Everybody.

Even with the increases in homicides nationwide, the murder rate in the United States has remained lower than it was in the early 1990s. In 1991, the United States saw 9.8 murders per 100,000 people in the country. In 2018, it was down to 5 murders per 100,000 people. “I don’t want to minimize an increasing American tragedy, but it’s also important to have that context that we’re not in the early 1990s when murder was nearly twice as much as it is now,” Asher said. Despite the issues with violence, crime as a whole is down nationwide. “We talk about crime with a capital C,” Asher said. “ That is down, and it’s down in 2020. … I think it’s important to be precise that crime is continuing to fall in the country, and it’s going to fall in 2020, but murder is up. “And that’s a very specific problem.” | https://www.wrtv.com/news/local-news/crime/indianapolis-is-experiencing-record-homicides-in-2020-and-nobody-really-knows-why |

CHARLESTON, W.Va. ( WSAZ) - A man from Florida received a 30-year prison sentence for mailing more than 18 pounds of methamphetamine from Los Angeles to Charleston, U.S. Attorney Mike Stuart said Monday. In September 2019, Thomas Drew Bess, 39, had pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine. Investigators say Bess flew from his home state of Florida to Los Angeles where he mailed a package containing more than 18 pounds of meth to Charleston. According to investigators, the meth was intended to be sold in Charleston, but the U.S. Postal Service intercepted the package and obtained a search warrant for it. Bess was arrested in Florida and then brought to West Virginia on an indictment. Copyright 2021 WSAZ.

THREE COLONIAL REGIONSGeographical Characteristics Make a Difference
Essential Question: What influence did the environment have on the economy and settlement of each colonial region? The 13 Colonies were grouped into 3 Distinct Geographic Regions
Remember a region is defined as a large area of land having similar geographic, political, or cultural characteristics that distinguish it from other areas. The 3 Colonial Regions are divided into: Northern Colonies, Mid-Atlantic Colonies, and the Southern Colonies
Each of these regions have distinct physical characteristics and unique natural resources. These physical characteristics and natural resources will influence the way the colonies develop over time. Economically, Politically, and Culturally
Northern Colonies or New England: Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Rhode Island
Not known for good farmland – farms small, mainly provide for individual families
Harbors throughout the region – good for European trade
Good region for fishing, shipbuilding, lumbering, and fur trading
Also traded goods with Europe
Small towns were the centers of local government
Settled by religious reformers and separatists
Religious Freedoms were essential
Skilled craftsman (shipbuilding)
Growth of cities and known for education
Mid-Atlantic Colonies: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware
Area excellent for farming and had natural harbors for trade with Europe
Good mix of farming, trading and skilled workers
Farmers grew grain and raised livestock
Settled by people from many different backgrounds and life styles
Southern Colonies: Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia
Grew their own food but also known for CASH CROPS-Tobacco, Rice, and Indigo
Primarily agricultural
Settled by people seeking economic resources to provide material wealth for England and themselves
Plantations (large farms) vs. small farms of Northern Colonies
Worked by indentured servants and Slaves
Kept people living far apart – prevents growth of towns
Contributes to more independent, rural attitudes
Main business was trade with England – dependent on England
During Revolution more likely to side with England

Content: Projections for GDP based on scenarios simulated with WTO Global Trade Model. Two other aspects that distinguish the current downturn from the financial crisis are the role of value chains and trade in services. Value chain disruption was already an issue when COVID‑19 was mostly confined to China. It remains a salient factor now that the disease has become more widespread. Trade is likely to fall more steeply in sectors characterized by complex value chain linkages, particularly in electronics and automotive products. According to the OECD Trade In Value Added (TiVa) database, the share of foreign value added in electronics exports was around 10% for the United States, 25% for China, more than 30% for Korea, greater than 40% for Singapore and more than 50% for Mexico, Malaysia and Vietnam. Imports of key production inputs are likely to be interrupted by social distancing, which caused factories to temporarily close in China and which is now happening in Europe and North America. However, it is also useful to recall that complex supply chain disruption can occur as a result of localized disasters such hurricanes, tsunamis, and other economic disruptions. Managing supply chain disruption is a challenge for both global and local enterprises and requires a risk-versus-economic efficiency calculation on the part of every company. Services trade may be the component of world trade most directly affected by COVID-19 through the imposition of transport and travel restrictions and the closure of many retail and hospitality establishments. | https://www.wto.org/english/news_e/pres20_e/pr855_e.htm |

Services trade may be the component of world trade most directly affected by COVID-19 through the imposition of transport and travel restrictions and the closure of many retail and hospitality establishments. Services are not included in the WTO's merchandise trade forecast, but most trade in goods would be impossible without them (e.g. transport). Unlike goods, there are no inventories of services to be drawn down today and restocked at a later stage. As a result, declines in services trade during the pandemic may be lost forever. Services are also interconnected, with air transport enabling an ecosystem of other cultural, sporting and recreational activities. However, some services may benefit from the crisis. | https://www.wto.org/english/news_e/pres20_e/pr855_e.htm |

To help protect newborn infants from intellectual disabilities and other severe health problems, West Virginia state law requires that all infants be screened for certain disorders that when detected and treated early can prevent the harmful and developmental effects of those diseases. Prior to leaving the hospital (or after a home birth) babies will receive screening for the newborn disorder. The test requires a few drops of blood obtained from a heel stick. The tests done in the hospital (or with the home birth kit) are "screening" tests. If a baby needs repeat testing, it is important that the baby return to the hospital, doctor, or clinic right away. | https://www.wvdhhr.org/nbms/ |

Woodwind instruments, part of the wind family, include many popular instruments such as the flute (and piccolo), clarinet, saxophone and double reed instruments (oboes, bassoons, English horns). Most woodwind instruments share a similar key system which allows players to more easily move between woodwind instruments as compared to brass instruments. It would be common for a saxophone player to be able to play flute or clarinet with a small amount of practice since the fingering systems are so similar. Although two of the members of the woodwind family are actually not made of wood (the flute and saxophone, they both have a strong organic connection. Early flutes were made from wood, and the saxophone incorporates a wooden reed that vibrates and ultimately produces the instrument’s sound. Woodwind & Brasswind carries many of today’s popular brands including Yamaha, Buffet Crampon, Gemeinhardt, P. Mauriat and more. Need recorders for your classroom?

What is a woodwind instrument? The woodwind family of instruments is a subset of the more general category of wind instruments. Within the woodwind family, there are two main types of instruments: reed instruments and flutes. The reason reed woodwind instruments are identified as “woodwind” is based on the way they produce their sound which is by splitting the player’s air stream on a sharp edge, such as a reed. Many people are confused by the name woodwind, thinking that these instruments should be made exclusively from wood. However, they can be made of any material such as wood, brass, cane, silver, gold or platinum. | https://www.wwbw.com/the-music-room/intro-to-woodwind-family-instruments |

Content: Over the years perceptions of same sex attraction have changed and it has become a more accepted aspect of Western culture as religiosity in the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, Latin and South America has decreased. In the Middle East, where homosexuality is still considered deviant behavior, religiosity is quite high and thus religious officials have greater influence to shape the norms of society such as what constitutes deviant behavior.

A given society's perception of what constitutes deviant behavior is generally derived from logistical considerations. Most societies frown upon excessive sexual promiscuity because it causes difficulties with respect to raising children as well as increased risk of disease transmission. This condemnation is often codified inside of a mythological or religious systems in order to facilitate understanding and exacerbate fear of disobedience. In Islamic and in many Christian religious systems, premarital sex is prohibited. In most societies, however, there is no explicit prohibition of such activity; individuals are instead educated about the dangers and granted license to decide for themselves what is acceptable.

I think one of the most prevalent that I can think of is the concept of public nudity. In the United States, it is sexualized from a very young age that if you are naked, then you are in search for deviant behavior. | https://www.wyzant.com/resources/answers/9095/provide_an_example_of_a_human_behavior_that_is_considered_deviant_in_one_society_but_is_not_considered_deviant_in_others |

Content: Disruption in supplier consistency may be the result of any risk coming to fruition. Supplier consistency applies to manufacturers as well. Raw and reclaimed materials are subject to disruption risk. What to Do About It. Procurement departments must take the full burden of ensuring supplier consistency. This is possible through the creation of a diverse supplier network. Shippers should also expand available carrier routes to meet changes in suppliers used. Supply Chain Risk #10: Transport Loss
Where risk exists, the risk of losing the ability to transport goods exists. Even carriers with strong networks may suffer setbacks considering risk, so having a plan to overcome these issues is key to success. | https://www.xeneta.com/blog/global-supply-chain-risks |

Knowledge
Educators ideally should be authoritative transmitters of unbiased knowledge
Educators are biased facilitators and co-"constructors" of knowledge. Culture
Culture is something students should learn about, but can also be a barrier to learning. Students from diverse cultures must be trained in a shared language, or medium of communication, before teachers can transmit knowledge to them. The modernist goal of unifying society results in domination and exploitation, because unity is always based on dominant culture. All cultures are not only of equal value, but also constitute equally important realities. Minority students must be "empowered" to fight against Eurocentric enculturation. Values
Traditional modernists believe that educators are legitimate authorities on values, and therefore they should train students in universal values. More liberal modernists argue that education should be "values-neutral." Teachers help students with "values clarification"--deciding what values each individual student will hold. Values can, and should be separated from facts. | https://www.xenos.org/essays/comparing-modernist-and-postmodern-educational-theory |

More liberal modernists argue that education should be "values-neutral." Teachers help students with "values clarification"--deciding what values each individual student will hold. Values can, and should be separated from facts. The most important values are rationality and progress. Education should help students construct diverse and personally useful values in the context of their cultures. Values are considered useful for a given culture, not true or right in any universal sense. Since teachers cannot avoid teaching their own values, it's okay for teachers to openly promote their values and social agendas in the classroom. Important values to teach include striving for diversity, tolerance, freedom, creativity, emotions and intuition. | https://www.xenos.org/essays/comparing-modernist-and-postmodern-educational-theory |

Modernists generally believe in a stable, inherent self that can be objectively known. In addition, since humans are thought to have a stable essential nature, IQ tests, and other similar "objective tests", can be used to discover students' innate intelligence. By giving them mastery over subject matter, teachers enhance students' self-esteem. Education helps individuals discover their identities. Individuals and society progress by learning and applying objective knowledge. | https://www.xenos.org/essays/comparing-modernist-and-postmodern-educational-theory |

Content: Today, Christianity is widely rejected, not because it was critically examined and found wanting, but merely because it claims to be true. Increasingly, American academics regard claims to objective and universal truth as intolerant and uninformed. What accounts for this bizarre and growing consensus? It's called postmodernism. Postmodern ideology rejects the authority of reason and views all claims to objective truth to be dangerous. For these enormously influential thinkers, truth is political and created by "belief communities," not discovered rationally and objectively. That the academic community is experiencing a major ideological revolution is beyond doubt. Like all intellectual movements, postmodernism deeply effects the broader culture. In this article, I will show how popular religious views mirror academic postmodernism, then clarify the challenge of this new consensus for the church. Abigail Van Buren has provided America with practical advice on almost every problem imaginable. | https://www.xenos.org/essays/postmodernism-spirit-age |

Content: Nor does it refer to religious extremism, like the Shiites' holy war against the West. Today, fundamentalists are those who believe that religious truths are objective and therefore subject to rational investigation. Postmodernism means the death of truth
We are witnessing a broad based backlash against reason in our culture. This backlash is widely promoted in contemporary higher education. The argument is that every time somebody claims to be in possession of the truth (especially religious truth), it ends up repressing people. So its best to make no claims to truth at all. Rejecting objective truth is the cornerstone of postmodernism . In essence, postmodern ideology declares an end to all ideology and all claims to truth. How has this seemingly anti intellectual outlook gained such wide acceptance in history's most advanced civilization? That question requires us to understand how postmodernists conceive the past three hundred years of western history. | https://www.xenos.org/essays/postmodernism-spirit-age |
