the opinions of the majority of the people have more influence with government than those of the minority.
| 1clean
|
In a direct democracy, unlike representative democracy, people participate directly in making government decisions.
| 1clean
|
Here they debated and voted for or against all proposed laws.
| 1clean
|
Although neither the federal government nor any of the state governments function as a direct democracy—the Constitution requires the national and state governments to be representative forms of government—some elements of direct democracy do exist in the United States.
| 1clean
|
Such occasions provide additional opportunities for civic engagement.
| 1clean
|
Residents of Boxborough, Massachusetts, gather in a local hotel to discuss issues affecting their town.
| 1clean
|
New England town meetings provide an opportunity for people to experience direct democracy.
| 1clean
|
This tradition has lasted for hundreds of years.
| 1clean
|
Most countries now have some form of representative government (Figure 1.6). 5
| 1clean
|
In a monarchy, one ruler, usually a hereditary ruler, holds political power.
| 1clean
|
Many southwest Asian kingdoms, such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, have absolute monarchs whose power is unrestricted.
| 1clean
|
The map of the world shows the different forms of government that currently exist.
| 1clean
|
Countries that are colored blue have some form of representative democracy, although the people may not have as much political power as they do in the United States.
| 1clean
|
Countries that are colored red, like China, Vietnam, and Cuba, have an oligarchic form of government.
| 1clean
|
The CIA website provides information about the types of government across the world.

In his observations of pin factories, Smith noticed that one worker alone might make 20 pins in a day, but that a small business of 10 workers (some of whom would need to complete two or three of the 18 tasks involved with pin-making), could make 48,000 pins in a day.
| 1clean
|
Smith offered three reasons.
| 1clean
|
First, specialization in a particular small job allows workers to focus on the parts of the production process where they have an advantage.
| 1clean
|
People have different skills, talents, and interests, so they will be better at some jobs than at others.
| 1clean
|
Only those with medical degrees qualify to become doctors, for instance.
| 1clean
|
For some goods, geography affects specialization.
| 1clean
|
Second, workers who specialize in certain tasks often learn to produce more quickly and with higher quality.
| 1clean
|
This pattern holds true for many workers, including assembly line laborers who build cars, stylists who cut hair, and doctors who perform heart surgery.
| 1clean
|
In fact, specialized workers often know their jobs well enough to suggest innovative ways to do their work faster and better.
| 1clean
|
A similar pattern often operates within businesses.
| 1clean
|
Third, specialization allows businesses to take advantage of economies of scale, which means that for many goods, as the level of production increases, the average cost of producing each individual unit declines.
| 1clean
|
The division and specialization of labor has been a force against the problem of scarcity.

I thought that I would make sort of like more of an informative video because I could just like post a vlog, but um the footage was like so random, and all over the place.
| 1clean
|
I got some really cool footage but um, not like cute like Instagram girl footage, because I did dress like a 12 year old boy the whole time.
| 1clean
|
The number one thing that we did on our trip was we actually stayed a night in Eugene, Oregon, and we got up at like the crack of dawn and drove to Crater Lake.
| 1clean
|
The footage that I'm gon na put in here honestly it looks a little bit fake.
| 1clean
|
We didn't do a whole lot of hiking here because there was not a whole lot of cloud coverage that day, and it was so hot.
| 1clean
|
So there's a lot of cool shopping in Portland, Oregon.
| 1clean
|
And I want to say it's like the the biggest like Indie Indie bookstore in America.
| 1clean
|
I guess that's what it's called.
| 1clean
|
The best thing that I thought about this bookstore was that they mixed in new copies of books with used copies.
| 1clean
|
Um I don't enjoy bugs.
| 1clean
|
So the first couple days we were in Portland, we went hiking in Forest Park which you can get to by public transit in the city.
| 1clean
|
So we did the Wildwood Trail and we also did a tour of Pittock Mansion.
| 1clean
|
Um I loved doing that.
| 1clean
|
I actually don't know if they're like technically in Forest Park but they're right in the same area.
| 1clean
|
There were even some people like meditating in there which was kind of funny.
| 1clean
|
I did wear my bird shirt – It's a pretty good bird shirt, I got a compliment on it – which I didn't say this earlier, but I bought this at the Audubon Society which I learned what that was.
| 1clean
|
I didn't know what that was but it's um a society for um like bird watching and bird care and um they had a shirt that said bird nerd on it so I bought it because I thought it was funny.
| 1clean
|
So we are going to do a week of me vlogging.
| 1clean
|
I bounced around here and there, so I have to kind of show you guys around and show you what it's all about, and today I'm on general nuclear medicine, so let's start the day.
| 1clean
|
So so far this morning I've just read a few studies (it's a little slow in the morning) of general nuclear medicine because a lot of stuff takes time for the radio tracers to go into the body or the specific organ we are targeting, so we have to wait a little bit in the morning.
| 1clean
|
So I've done three lymphoscintigraphies.
| 1clean
|
For lymphoscintigraphies we basically inject technetium in skin surrounding a melanoma and after we inject we wait about 15-20 minutes, maybe up to an hour, and wait for that radio tracer to travel to the closest lymph node which we would call the sentinel lymph node.
| 1clean
|
So I've done three of those this morning.
| 1clean
|
Ah, the sun feels so good on the face.
| 1clean
|
We get to head home early today because we finished off the scans, and I'm gon na go home and work out because I was too lazy to do it this morning because for some reason I was tired from having a weekend off, which makes no sense.
| 1clean
|
But I'm gon na go work out, cook something for dinner and do this all over again tomorrow.
| 1clean
|
Yes, I don't know why I got pulled on today, but I did, so probably just sit in there, read some ultrasounds and get out early.
| 1clean
|
I need to film another YouTube video.
| 1clean
|
Alright so I've been here just crushing ultrasounds, and today I've been feeling a little under the weather so I've been, like, yeah, I've been like crushing these all day today and then I'll show you what else I've been.
| 1clean
|
I picked these up when I was in Amsterdam for...
| 1clean
|
I got sick when I was on Croatia for vacation.
| 1clean
|
I have no idea what it says, but I think they're cough drops, so if anybody knows what this says let me know.
| 1clean
|
Oh and PS, I usually try to avoid taking medicines that I can't read the name of but I had someone help me at the pharmacy in the airport.
| 1clean
|
She spoke a little bit of English and I think those are actually cough drops, so, that's the only reason I'm still eating them today.
| 1clean
|
So I'm officially going home right now.
| 1clean
|
But since I feel kind of crappy today I'm just going to go home, hang out, rest (ambulance was a little loud sorry).
| 1clean
|
So I'm probably just gon na go home and rest and I have to get my hair cut today for my big trip coming up.
| 1clean
|
So hopefully you guys find it somewhat interesting, and if you do I'll keep doing it.

The legend says that the King of Athens, Theseus unified the ten tribes of early Athens into one kingdom (c. 1230 BC).
| 1clean
|
This process of synoikismos – bringing together in one home – created the largest and wealthiest state on the Greek mainland, but it also created a larger class of people excluded from political life by the nobility.
| 1clean
|
By the 7th century BC, social unrest had become widespread, and the Areopagus appointed Draco to draft a strict new law code (hence "draconian").
| 1clean
|
When this failed, they appointed Solon, with a mandate to create a new constitution (594).
| 1clean
|
During the Middle Ages, Athens experienced a decline, but re-emerged under Byzantian rule.
| 1clean
|
Athens was thriving and prosperous during the Crusades, actually benefiting from the Italian trade during this period.
| 1clean
|
Athens hosted the 2004 Summer Olympic Games.
| 1clean
|
While most of the sporting venues were located outside the city proper - in various locations throughout Attica - the entire urban area of Athens underwent major lasting changes that have improved the quality of life for visitors and residents alike.
| 1clean
|
Aside from the excellent transportation infrastructure that was completed in time for the 2004 Olympics (from new freeways to light rail systems), the city's historic center underwent serious renovation.
| 1clean
|
The ancient Olympic Games took place in Olympia from 776 BCE to 394 AD.
| 1clean
|
Although it had a prestigious past, the city's political, economic, and cultural importance had declined over the centuries, leaving behind only its classical ruins as a reminder of better times.
| 1clean
|
The city regained its importance in Greek civilization, and by 1900 had evolved into a very attractive cosmopolitan city, with abundant neoclassical architecture harking to the nation's past.
| 1clean
|
The 20th century however, marked the rapid development of Athens.
| 1clean
|
The city suffered minor damage during WWII, and suffered extensive urban planning in the decades that followed, as the nation rapidly industrialized and urbanized.
| 1clean
|
The city also expanded outward through rash development, particularly towards the west, as its population grew by absorbing job-seekers from the provinces.
| 1clean
|
With the onset of the automobile, public officials reduced the city's public transportation services without foreseeing the traffic gridlock and smog that would menace the city by the 1980s.
| 1clean
|
By the late 1980s and early 1990s, the city's reality led to a rude awakening among local and national officials and, coupled with the country's new found remarkable prosperity, large scale projects began to slowly regenerate the city and undo some of the damages of recent decades.
| 1clean
|
The restoration of charming neoclassical buildings in the city's historical center has been accompanied by the construction of attractive post-modern buildings in newer districts; both of which have begun to improve the aesthetic essence of the city.
| 1clean
|
Athens today is ever evolving, forging a brand new identity for the 21st century.
| 1clean
|
The result is around ten well preserved underwater shipwrecks surrounded with coral reef.
| 1clean
|
There are also attractions on Coron Island itself.
| 1clean
|
There are many beautiful white sand beaches, mostly tiny and surrounded by large limestone cliffs and wildlife.
| 1clean
|
Although they are now sedentary (with the young using cell phones, etc.), they maintain many of their old customs, traditions and beliefs.
| 1clean
|
Today, the Tagbanuas remain the dominant if not entire population of Coron.
| 1clean
|
From 1939 to the outbreak of World War II, the municipality experienced the mining boom.
| 1clean
|
Labor shifted from farming to mining.
| 1clean
|
In July 1942 the Japanese occupied the mining camps and resumed operation of the manganese mines.
| 1clean
|
The population increased, as many people from Luzon and the Visayas came to work either as fishermen or miners.
| 1clean
|
It remains a small, quaint fishing town with laid back charm but with increasing media exposure it is growing, slowly but steadily,
| 1clean
|
Coron has taken an important position in the tourism industry.
| 1clean
|
In the past decade, there has been a rapid influx of scuba divers and other tourists coming in, making tourism the major industry player in Coron today.

From one-liners to classic three-liners to the one-minute gag you tell your friends, a good joke pleases everyone.
| 1clean
|
All aspects of the joke you tell, from the content to the length, need to be suited to your audience.
| 1clean
|
But, unless you personally know the members of your audience, here are some good rules of thumb to follow:
| 1clean
|
Every joke has a “target,” which is what the joke is about.
