0 Pearl Harbor Day

It was the day of the attack on Pearl Harbor, and a day that changed the world forever. Just before 8a.m. that morning, a group of Japanese planes approached the unsuspecting naval base. They arrived without warning, and without a formal declaration of war.

As the planes coasted over the American base, they unleashed a fury of firepower that quickly sank half of the battleships stationed at Pearl Harbor. The assault was brief, but highly effective. Japanese Zero Bomber Planes were lightning fast and heavily armed.

America lost more than 2,000 people to the brutal attack. Over 1,200 more were injured. The assault consisted of two separate groups of Japanese bombers that damaged or destroyed a large number of American ships, planes and equipment.

0 The Maoists and the Indian State

In 1947 when India was given freedom by the British it was thought a new dawn of development and prosperity would be launched. However Nehru with his zeal to copy the British carried on the age old British policies as far as the tribal lands were concerned.

The British who were the paramount power and wished to further their rule had no interest in integrating the tribal areas with the rest of India.Thus they formulated policies where the tribals were left to themselves with only a loose form of government control. So much so that to visit the tribal areas of Assam and Nagaland an inner line permit was required.They effectively insulated the tribal areas from the rest of the country.

The Indian Government under Nehru continued with these British policies even after 1947 when independence was granted. Thus the inner line permits remained and very little effort was made to integrate these areas with the mother country. It did not help as racially these tribals were not from the main Arayan or Dravidian stock.

A lot of homeless and impoverished Manilenos were given free shelters under Atienza's housing and land acquisition projects. Lito Atienza together with non-government organizations such as Gawad Kalinga and Habitat for Humanity have built thousands of houses in the 50-hectare Baseco area, all of which were rightfully awarded to the homeless city residents. Atienza has also started affordable housing projects for the middle class during his term.The former mayor has established the Nagtahan Housing and UN Gardens which have benefited many homeless middle class families.

To address the healthcare needs of the city residents, Atienza launched Sama sa Masa, a program which provides every barangay with free check ups, free medical services and medicines. Public city hospitals also benefited from a bigger budget allocation for the procurement of medical equipment and medicines.During his administration, Manila's crime rates were at their lowest levels in many years.This is due to Atienza's massive effort in ridding the entire city of drug traffickers and syndicates, which he believed as the main roots of all crimes in the city.

0 Buyahin Nating Muli Ang Maynila And Providing Livelihood And Employment

0 Why Was Liberia in West Africa Divided?

fter the emancipation of enslaved African Americans according to my grandparents, there was a divide between white and black Americans. After tiresome negotiations the freed African Americans returned to the land of their ancestors. In 1815, Paul Cufee, and African-American, a marine magnate sponsored a small group of African-Americans to set up trade opportunities in Sierra Leone, West Africa. His idea was to let the African-Americans become self supportive and improve their lifestyles because of the knowledge they gained in America. Unfortunately he died two years later in 1817.

Nevertheless, his dreams were short lived but partially realized because some groups, who favoured colonization, launched a movement to send back volunteered freed African American slaves to settle in West Africa. Then again, the liberated African-Americans were of the opinion that returning to their land of origin in West Africa would be a continuation of slavery for the simple reason that the supporters were slave holders. Moreover, the African Americans wanted to stay in America because they felt they had contributed in building up America.

0 Honoring Those Who Gave So Much

Black History Month was started in 1915, by Dr. Carter G. Woodson to help heighten awareness of the role of African Americans in shaping history. He chose February for this historical focus because both Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass were born this month. Let’s take a brief look at the history of some of the achievements Dr. Woodson wanted us to remember always.

The civil rights movement gathered steam through the twentieth century, culminating in three watershed moments in the mid-1950’s: when the U.S. Supreme Court declared school segregation unconstitutional in the historic Brown vs. the Board of Education of Topeka decision; when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to move to the back of the bus; and when the battle raged about desegregation in the Little Rock High School.

In the 1960’s, African Americans began staging non-violent protests across the nation. From sit-in’s to Freedom Rides, to the electrifying leadership of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., the civil rights movement attracted worldwide attention and gained momentum. The non-violence was repeatedly shattered during the same decade by church bombings, the assassination of Medgar Evers and Malcolm X, the disappearance and murder of civil rights workers in Mississippi, and riots across the nation.

In 1963, the iconic March on Washington occurred. Leaders from across the United States, including many from the NAACP, brought together hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life to fill the National Mall. It was there that Reverend King gave his historic “I Have A Dream” speech. Two years later, in 1965, civil rights activists peacefully began to march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama to call for voting rights. They were brutally attacked by state and local lawmen with billy clubs and tear gas on the day they set out, March 7, a day ever afterward known as Bloody Sunday. Two days later, Reverend King led the marchers again after he and other civil rights leaders asked for court protection. Federal District Court Judge Frank M. Johnson Jr. ruled that the marchers had a right to protest and the march was completed by thousands of demonstrators. Later that same year, President Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

As people battled for their rights in the streets of America, African American political candidates were = fighting for recognition. A breakthrough happened in 1967, when Thurgood Marshall was named the first black judge to serve on the Supreme Court. That same year, Carl Strokes of Cleveland and Richard Hatcher were elected the first African American mayors of major U.S. cities.

Tragedy struck on April 4, 1968 when Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated on a hotel balcony in Memphis, Tennessee. James Earl Ray was later convicted of killing King and sentenced to 99 years in prison. In 1983, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was established as a federal holiday.

While much has been done to further the civil rights cause by past and current leaders, including Jesse Jackson and Reverend Al Sharpton, much still needs to be done. In this last week of Black History Month, take time to reflect on the sacrifices of those who have come before us, but don’t stop there. Consider your role in extending civil rights to all Americans and take action. It’s not enough to remember past sacrifices; now is the time to stand up and fight for justice. The story is far from over—how will you contribute to it today?

0 The 16th Amendment!

Today we are going to discuss the 16th amendment.

This is a totally unconstitutional amendment.

I am not talking about whether it was properly ratified, though there is some doubt as to that point.

The 16th amendment is at cross purposes with amendments 4, which guarantees the sovereign freedom from search and seizure.

The 16th amendment is also at cross purposes with amendment 9, which guarantees freedom from the denial of rights guaranteed by the constitution.

One could make other arguments, but the people need none. The 16th amendment is poorly written, unfairly implemented, and a traitorous article.

Traitorous. And the people who wrote that article should be tried for treason, as should any citizens who seek to implement the 16th amendment.

0 Republic Day Of India – A Day That Rekindles Patriotism And Humanity

Although India gained its independence in the year 1947, it did not have a permanent constitution and was devoid of political powers and authorities. Later on, the Drafting Committee was appointed to draft a permanent constitution for India under the chairmanship of Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar. On November 4, 1947, the drafted document was submitted and after many debates, negotiations, and modifications the document was approved and signed by all the members of the Assembly on January 24, 1950. Two days after that on January 26, 1950, the constitution of India came into effect. Eventually, the political powers were taken away from the British and India became a ‘Republic’.

0 Usa Inventions

The computer has develop into such a lot part of our lives that we forget that it was once once invented. The history of the development of this “futuristic” instrument is long and filled with genius. The real first prototypes of the pc have been evolved through the Security Department, that's oddly the supply of a large number of the good inventions in American history. Nevertheless it was once the early PC builders together with Steve Wozniac, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates that took the computer to the level of familiarity we are aware of it to be now and made computer systems part of our on a regular basis lives.

0 Swords A Prestigeous Weapon Of War

A sword is typically a elongated edged metal which is used in various forms depending on the user. It can be used for cutting, thrusting, slashing and clubbing. Swords were used in many civilizations throughout the world.

Earlier bronze and iron swords were not comparable to later steel swords. The iron was not quench hardened or tempered although often containing sufficient carbon, but work-hardened exactly like bronze by hammering.
This process made them somewhat comparable or better in strength, hardness, and durability compared to bronze swords. They can also still bend during use, rather than spring back into form. But the easier production, and the abundance of the raw material allowed people to produce swords and other war materials in a larger scale.
