Explanation:

Intro by Bill

A bill starts as an idea. A citizen or representative must first offer the concept in the House. If the representatives like the proposal, they will draft a bill. In the House, bills are presented in a hopper on the clerk's desk. The clerk numbers the measure before presenting it to the speaker. The speaker will read the measure to the house and then send it to a committee. The committee will determine whether the measure should be debated in the house. The house committee may vote to kill or table the measure.

Bill arrives. After the committee approves a measure, it goes to the house for debate. Section by section, the clerk reads the bill. Legislators will change portions they deem inadequate.

STORIES OF USEFUL INVENTIONS, excerpt

THE MATCH

There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.

Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.

In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.

How Did The US Win World War 2?

Answers

The U.S.'s victory in World War II was historic. The United States engaged in a two-front war in both the Pacific and European theaters.

The American triumph at Midway in the Pacific theater saw them sink four Japanese carriers along with the best fighter pilots from that country. The Japanese were then stopped from setting up an airport and staging ground for the invasion of Australia by America's capture and retention of Henderson Field in the Solomon Islands. Americans then began island-hopping ever-closer to Japan. No other country was able to overcome Japan except for the American will.

In the European theater, the British attacked at night, impeding the German war effort, while the Americans started their daytime bombing assaults on the German industrial heartland in 1942. The German war machine was further hampered by American bombing strikes on Romanian oilfields, which reduced German fuel output. In the meanwhile, the US sent supplies to the Russian, British, and French soldiers that were free. During World War II, America/Britain conducted a number of campaigns in Africa, Sicily, Italy, and France.

The number of lives lost during a conflict is not a measure of its success.

Stalin was unconcerned with the loss of life, despite the fact that many Russians fought valiantly, suffered millions of casualties, and significantly contributed to the defeat of the Germans. The Russians bombarded the Germans with waves upon waves of men, often without even arming them. There were perhaps 10 to 15 Russians slain for every German, according to estimates. Stalin used death threats to pressure his generals into fighting one another. In the last days, two Russian generals risked countless lives by driving on Berlin in an effort to win Stalin's praise. He gave instructions that no Allied soldier would fight for German land that would be under soviet rule after World War II and rejected ideas that he believed to be too hazardous and may cost a considerable number of lives.

The new territory was claimed by the Catholic Kings Isabel de Castilla and Fernando de Aragón on behalf of the Kingdom of Castile, which had funded the expedition of three ships, La Pinta, La Nia, and La Santa Mara. The new land was known as Las Indias Occidentales, and the natives were known as Indians. Later on, it was discovered that it wasn't India, but rather a sizable new continent that was given the name of America. The regions the Spaniards found and conquered in America were acquired by the Spanish Crown and added to its Kingdom.

why does China so strong before 18th century?

What deal did Roosevelt make to get the canal and why was he criticized?

Answers

Answer (Briefed and Short):

The French Canal Property and Equipment were to be purchased by the United States for a price not to exceed $40 million in 1902. The United States and Colombia then started drafting a deal on Panama. The American Department of War would oversee the dig. Roosevelt's detractors began referring to his methods as "Big Stick Diplomacy." It was a sarcastic manner of criticizing the president for resorting to force rather than engaging in conventional international diplomacy (dialogue). Find Panama, Colombia, and the Panama Canal on the map below.

Longer Answer:

At a period when the American railway system was still developing, Roosevelt sought to connect the Eastern and Western coasts of the country in an effort to unify the country.

Additionally, by building a canal across Central America, the United States could project its naval force in both oceans with a single fleet that could move quickly between them rather of having to construct two distinct fleets (one for each ocean).

Both goals were met, and the canal ended up being a great investment for the United States.

Since the canal was quickly turning into more of a political liability than an asset (i.e. projecting an image of U.S. colonialism) due to the development of the modern U.S. transportation system (such as railways and highways) and the "carrier attack group" replacing the battleship as the foundation of U.S. naval power (modern carriers are too large to fit into the canal), the U.S. transferred the canal to Panama.

Since that time, Panama has managed the canal rather effectively and even increased its capacity by constructing a third set of locks, a project that American taxpayers would have most likely opposed if the canal had remained in their hands.

How many years and how much money did it cost to create the Panama Canal?

Well, a war was necessary first. The United States and Columbia concluded a deal in 1903 allowing the United States to construct a canal through what is now Panama. The pact was swiftly passed by the US Congress. The Columbian Senate, however, objected. As a result, Theodore Roosevelt armed a group of Columbians fighting for independence as soon as possible.

Beginning on November 3, 1903, the uprising. To stop Columbia from sending soldiers to put down the uprising, the United States stopped its railroads from Northern Columbia. A vessel manned by US Marines was also sent by the US to offer support if needed. The United States paid the newly formed Panamanian government $10 million on August 18 and promised to begin paying $250,000 annually for leasing the area around the projected canal when the war ended in three days (starting a decade later).

Building the canal took ten years. Before abandoning up, France labored on the building for over a year. From that moment on, the U.S. assumed control.

The canal's construction claimed the lives of around 6,000 French, American, Caribbean, and other laborers. But we discovered how to make vaccinations to stop viruses carried by mosquitoes. The canal was built by the United States at a cost of $500 million (about $15 billion today). And before the United States gained over, the French invested at least $250 million.

However, the expenses continued after then. A water deficit ten years later made it difficult to send ships via the canal. In order to maintain a steady supply of water, a substantial dam had to be erected, and a substantial lake had to be established. The projected $25 million price tag for the Madden Dam. The Canal and Dam required around $10 million in annual maintenance.

China sought to finance and invest in a second canal across Nicaragua years ago. I'm not sure if construction has ever started on it.

Thank you,

Eddie

Answer:

What if it were a really special bird: one with beautiful feathers, an entrancing call, or a silly dance? What if seeing that one special bird would allow you to win a contest?If that contest doesn't get you on television or win you any cash prizes, would you still do it? For those who participate in the "Big Year," the honor of beating the previous record is the only reward they get or even want.A "Big Year" is a year in which a person attempts to see as many different species of birds as possible within a particular region. For most in North America who participate in a "Big Year," this region is the lower 48 American states, plus Alaska, Canada, and a couple of French islands off the Canadian coast.You may be thinking that looking at birds is silly, but just think about the numbers of the recent record holders and the commitment it takes to get these numbers. One recent "Big Year" winner managed to see 744 birds in one year, missing the record by just one bird. Big Year birders travel by train, plane, boat, car, bicycle, and of course, by foot. They can cover over 150 thousand miles to get numbers of sightings this high. They can also spend a small fortune.Just to clarify, the birds these contestants are counting are the number that they see in a particular year. You see, the contest is based on an honor system. No pictures or other evidence is required as proof of a sighting. Most birders take great pride in their reputation and their abilities to see or hear and then identify a bird. Usually, important sightings of the rare birds needed to get counts in the 700s are visited by hundreds of birders. It is pretty hard to cheat your way to a record-breaking year, but in general, few are interested in cheating.This honesty comes from the fact that most people who want to break such a record know the greatest rewards are not necessarily in winning. Such rewards are in being able to commit a year of your life to doing something you love. Rewards are found in seeing amazing, inspiring creatures like the California Condor or the Magnificent Frigate bird. Rewards also come in spending time with people who, like you, want to spend their time looking to the skies and trees for glimpses of emerald, crimson, or cerulean blue feathered jewels.You don't have to be able to travel a continent to have a big birding experience though. Have a big month. Or a big weekend. Set a personal record, learn to identify the species that live in your part of the world, or try to learn the calls of just two species of birds. You will soon find looking at birds isn't such a strange way to spend your time.Extra! Extra! Backyard BirdingMany schools, families, and young birders across the country participate in the "Great Backyard Bird Count." While not as long as a "Big Year," the "Great Backyard Bird Count" happens every year. It depends on birders and families across the country to watch feeders and other areas in their yards and count the number of birds they see. Unlike the "Big Year," the goal is not to see who can count the most birds. Instead, participants in this event work together to help bird experts get a good idea of how birds are doing. Participants are given checklists and enter their sightings on a website.
