Last Months of Beethoven's Life
The last months of Beethoven's life were eventful. On the 29th of July, 1826, his nephew Karl tried to commit suicide. He survived a self-inflicted shot to his head. Already ill himself, Beethoven accepted his brother Johann's invitation to visit his estate at Gneixendorf (in lower Austria). A two-day journey from Vienna, Beethoven thought the change of scenery would be good for Karl.
The brothers, however, had serious arguments - on various issues - and Ludwig decided to abruptly
Amazing Math Tricks
This slide show gives you step by step instructions on math tricks, most using a calculator for help. There are 21 tricks in all. A common trick is the "birthday trick". It starts with the instructions to "Add 18 to your birth month. Multiply by 5. Subtract 333. Multicply by 8. etc." At the end of the instructions, you should have the number of your birthday. The viewer will have to stop the slide show to do the math tricks. The viewer will also have to open the video/slide show to
(1/9) The Warsaw Uprising
The Normandy beaches were chosen by planners because they lay within range of air cover, and were less heavily defended than the obvious objective of the Pas de Calais, the shortest distance between Great Britain and the Continent. Airborne drops at both ends of the beachheads were to protect the flanks, as well as open up roadways to the interior. Six divisions were to land on the first day; three U.S., two British and one Canadian. Disorganization, confusion,
The Effects of Industry
This video is accompanied by text. "Early American factories were usually owned by individuals, families, or partners. As mechanization became more widespread and the scale and complexity of businesses increased, a substantial capital investment was required to open a factory. Although it was a slow process, these factors led more and more firms to “incorporate” ownership.
Prior to the 1860s, most manufacturing was conducted by unincorporated companies. Organizing a corporation requir
