...The United States experienced an incredible postwar economic boom after World War II. Additionally, this economic expansion is known as one of the few times in the post-industrial revolution era when inequality between economic groups shrunk, as exhibited by America’s Gini coefficient falling, albeit slightly, starting in the 1940s and continuing up until the mid-1960s. (Lindert, p. 2-652). Ostensibly, a rising tide of economic growth seemed to be lifting the boats of both the wealthy and the working class. The strong and steady income gains and economic growth of the postwar boom proved temporary as the historic anomalies that came about after the end of World War II began to fade in the face of an increasingly competitive global economy....

...intolerable pain which tears you apart, like a stone heavy on the heart, but I know now that I really wasn’t. Every morning, every meal times, every evening it hurt so badly I wanted to hurt her too. I so badly need her here, to feel her love, to touch out to her. I remember bedtimes which were for stories and adventures, the touch of her gentle hugs, the smell of her softly shampooed hair, and the sparkle of her soul. She’s now my ghost, an unfelt, unspoken memory of the past. Dad was still shouting to me from the bottom of the stairs as I drifted away from my childhood memories. He was holding a letter and had a face like thunder as he crossly waved the envelope towards my outstretched hand. ‘I think it’s your Mothers writing’. Boom Boom Boom!! Sounded the fastness of my heavy heart as I gingerly took the letter from my dad and uttered not a word as I backtracked without a backwards glance to my haven. A mixture of apprehension, fear and anger crashed over me like a tidal wave crashing against my skull, how dare she contact me yet again and put me through all this pain. Slowly, Slowly I open the letter and gingerly remove it from its personal surroundings. This wasn’t the first letter and certainly wasn’t to be the last letter from my mum who was once more asking for reconciliation, forgiveness on my part and offering explanations on hers. A feeling of emptiness laid heavy as I knew that however many letters, texts I received from my mum there was absolutely nothing I could...

...On August 15, 1971 President Nixon put into effect Execute Order 11615, this order was a massive event in United States economic history because it put into effect the end of convertibility of U.S. dollars into gold. Prior to Nixon ending the gold convertibility, the world ran on the Bretton Woods Monetary System. The Bretton Woods Monetary System made it so that all U.S. currency held outside the country was redeemable at the rate of $35 an ounc. Although, this system was slowly deteriorating and by 1971 debts were being paid off and causing massive inflation of the U.S. dollar, Nixon had no choice but to try and keep our economy afloat. By unpegging the U.S. dollar to gold Nixon created a regime in which currency was a free-floating commodity. Ten days prior to the Nixon’s executive United States executive order the United States Congress released a reports suggesting the devaluation of the dollar. Congress was worried that since the United States lacked the gold to back the foreign banks dollar supply, there would be a run at the U.S. gold and lead to a financial meltdown. Most historians feel that President Nixon did not have a choice in the matter, the Vietnam War was being financed by deficit spending, and domestically rising inflation was a major concern for the President who was coming on a re-election year. The biggest result that came of Nixon ending the convertibility of dollars into gold was that it greatly benefited countries that held large gold reserves...

...Why did the US experience an economic boom in the 1950s and 1960s? The primary reason the US experienced an economic boom during the 1950s and 1960s was the effect that World War II had on the US economy. During World War II there was very low unemployment as many men were drafted into the military. Women and those remaining men got jobs in factories manufacturing arms for those fighting. Much of the money they earned was saved as there was little to spend it on during the war period. By 1945 $140 billion was held in private savings. These savings were used after the war to boost consumer spending. After the war the US economy grew as there was little damage to mainland USA and thus no money was spent on reconstructing factories, houses and public infrastructure as had to be done across the UK and mainland Europe. Due to the damage caused to Europe there was a large increase in US exports to Europe as European countries were unable to manufacture goods whilst they rebuilt their factories and infrastructure. The Marshall Plan was a programme for European recovery which gave European countries money to their economies. It is widely thought that the US did this partly for their own benefit. They knew that with this money European countries would buy goods from US factories as they needed to rebuild their factories, this would mean that jobs would be created as there was higher demand for goods. Investment in advancing technology would occur and more tax could be collected from...

Cynthia is one of those people who always smiles no matter what is going on. Even when she’s mad or upset about something, she doesn’t reminisce on the past. I strive to be like her in many ways.

...“THE ENERGY NEVER DIES” IN THE BLACK EYED PEAS’ MUSIC “We got to capture what was going on in the world and our lives. People can relate to that better because they know what we are feeling and what we are all about” (“Black-Eyed peas Interview” Ugo.com:1). -The Black Eyed Peas In the quote above a Black Eyed Peas member (Apl.De.Ap) states how he feels while recording songs and how the world inspires and understands their songwriting. Rap/Hip-hop music have been around since the late 1970’s in New York City. Icons in American songwriting are Bob Dylan and Mariah Carey. The Black Eyed Peas [Fergie, Will.i.am, Apl.De.Ap, and Taboo] need to be included in this iconic group. American songwriting will be overviewed. Six of The Black Eyed Peas’ best songs will be discussed. Kelefa Sanneh and Ann Powers both agree that The Black Eyed Peas is one of the finest songwriters in American music. In order to prove this, it is first necessary to examine songwriting. Dictionary.com defines American songwriting as: “writing the [American] music and [English] word of [American] songs” (1). Masters of Hip-Hop/Rap songwriting know what it takes to produce a quality product. Among the most important elements of outstanding songwriting are alliteration, Camarillo 2. consonance, allusion, lyric poetry, personification, and figurative language.

...Use rhythm, music and singing to tune IN your students to working WITH you and tune OUT the worries and distractions of other thoughts. 30 seconds of a good backing track can engage a class far more quickly than 30 minutes of our voice and instructions. They tend over time to ‘tune out’ our voices. Music instantly engages. Rhythm, music and singing help build a collaborative ‘group’ identity – the ‘singing tribe’. Call – Response patterns that emphasise rhythm and sound. eg: 1) Warm ups – French Boom Chicka Boom – (see pdf) • Using praise praises for the whole class to chant ‘well done’ to good contributors • Get the children to take over the ‘Call’ function as soon as possible from you. You are modelling skills and empowering them to model to each other as well. Children leading others is a very powerful re-inforcer and motivator. 2) Injecting backing tracks into lessons at key points • allows you ‘pick up’ or ‘calm down’ a lesson depending upon the mood. • allows you to overlay any lyrical content that you want to highlight from your lesson. • You can use songs from Sing Up website but you can also simply use the backing tracks of some key songs Example Let’s Dance backing track from Sing Up website Suggest some lyrics to practise to this track from any work you have done today. Can you see a way in which children could be asked to suggest some simple lyrics that summarise key points of a lesson...

...Ms. Corrie ten Boom were both important people in their error or time, so let me tell you who these people are. Cornelia “Corrie” ten Boom was a Dutch Christian who helped hide Jews from the Nazis during World War 2. John McCain was a naval pilot for the U.S.A and was a prisoner of war during the Vietnam War. Corrie ten Boom was a woman who helped hide Jews from the Nazis and was doing the right thing, because the Nazis were bad people who did bad things to Jews. Mr. John McCain is a Vietnam War veteran and now a senator. Both were in prison for different reasons and both overcame that to become the people that the world knows as heros. Both got out of prison and became successful people in their own right. Ms. ten Boom was a well known author and she also was awarded the Righteous Among Nations Award for her services helping the Jews out during World War 2....

...operator and the boom technician. Without these people a movie would not have good sound as far as dialogue and ambiance. The first job is the mixer. This person has a lot of responsibilities. They connect the mixer to the recorder along with connecting the other equipment to the mixer. They make sure that we have good sound. They do this by putting the mixer audio level at zero and then putting the recorders DB level at negative twelve. By doing this it gives them some head room incase an actor increases the ton of their voice i.e. yells at another actor, we will still have good audio. The mixer is also in charge of doing the time codes. This means they right down the time code or this time on the recorder which the audio is recording and then writes down if that take was good or bad. Next we have the cord operator. This person’s job although you may think it is pretty easy it is a very important part of this department. Without a cord operator your boom person can fall, trip, ect. because someone is on standing on the cord. This person is also in charge of keeping the cords wrapped correctly. The last job on set as far as sound goes is the boom operator. This person determines which kind of mic he or she should use for any given scene. There are a few mics for him/her to choice from. There is the lavaliere mic which is a personal mic that is attached to the actor’s person. There is a stationary lavaliere mic which is hidden in a scene. Then there is the boom mic which is...

...During the Civil War, the government had to finance for supplies such as: uniforms, weapons, and food. The money that went into buying those goods ended up in the pockets of industrialists who manufactured them. The money that they gained allowed industrialization to grow. Industrialization was infinitely bad for the U.S. society between 1865 to 1900 because it contributed to horrible working conditions, corruption, and the boom and bust cycle. Many of the jobs available during industrialization were affecting the wellbeing of the society. It says in document two that workers had disposable occupations that had the same repetitive movement to it. I say that by submitting workers through mind numbing and draining conditions, the workers were losing their humanity. And so industrialization was endangering the lives of the workers. The author’s purpose in writing was to inform the government and companies about what workers experience and is shown by the list of what workers did and suffered. Workers suffered because they were abused and taken advantage by businessmen. It says in document six that men and women were both overworked and treated worse than property. I say that the conditions in which the laborers were forced to work in were a hazard to their lives. And so industrialization negatively affected society because businessman did not care about what happen to their workers as long...

...Running Head: ECONOMIC PATTER OF BOOM & BUST OF SLAVE TRADE IN THE PORTUGUESE EMPIRE Topic: Economic Pattern of Boom & Bust in Slave Trade of Portuguese Empire The slave trade of the Portuguese Empire involved “bringing European ships for the first time into regular contact with sub-Saharan Africa”. Otherwise, the Arab slave trade according to Peterson, involved “Arabs exporting slaves from East Africa to many countries around the Indian Ocean” (Peterson, Brian 2008). There are certain commonalities in these trades, but they still differ significantly. That is, though both were superlative industries that flourished in their empires and are somewhat interrelated, they varied in terms of their economic pattern of performance; the Portuguese during the 15th-18th century and the Arabs during the 17th and 18th century. They also differed in trading goods involved, and mechanisms of demise. According to Bamba Gascogine, the Portuguese invaded the Cape Verde Islands in 1460. They specialized in plantation work, growing, in particular, indigo and cotton. The Portuguese slaves also worked in factories that produced cloth. Gascogine states that “The cloth is exchanged in Guinea for slaves. And the slaves are sold for cash to the slaving ships which pay regular visits to the Cape Verde Islands” (Gascogine, 2008). On the other hand, the embryonic era of Arab slavery occurred well...
