The 1960s term also refers to an era more often called The Sixties, denoting the complex of inter-related cultural and political trends across the globe. This cultural decade is more loosely defined than the actual decade, beginning around 1963 and ending around 1974.

SUMMARY
=======
The counterculture of the 1960s was an anti-establishment cultural phenomenon that developed throughout much of the Western world between the mid-1960s and the mid-1970s. The aggregate movement gained momentum as the Civil Rights Movement continued to grow, and would later become revolutionary with the expansion of the US government's extensive military intervention in Vietnam. As the 1960s progressed, widespread social tensions also developed concerning other issues, and tended to flow along generational lines regarding human sexuality, women's rights, traditional modes of authority, experimentation with psychoactive drugs, and differing interpretations of the American Dream. Many key movements related to these issues were born or advanced within the counterculture of the 1960s.As the era unfolded, new cultural forms and a dynamic subculture which celebrated experimentation, modern incarnations of Bohemianism, and the rise of the hippie and other alternative lifestyles, emerged. This embracing of creativity is particularly notable in the works of British Invasion bands such as the Beatles, and filmmakers whose works became far less restricted by censorship. In addition to the trendsetting Beatles, many other creative artists, authors, and thinkers, within and across many disciplines, helped define the counterculture movement.
Several factors distinguished the counterculture of the 1960s from the anti-authoritarian movements of previous eras. The post-World War II baby boom generated an unprecedented number of potentially disaffected young people as prospective participants in a rethinking of the direction of the United States and other democratic societies. Post-war affluence allowed many of the counterculture generation to move beyond a focus on the provision of the material necessities of life that had preoccupied their Depression-era parents. The era was also notable in that a significant portion of the array of behaviors and causes within the larger movement were quickly assimilated within mainstream society, particularly in the US, even though counterculture participants numbered in the clear minority within their respective national populations.The counterculture era essentially commenced in earnest with the assassination of John F. Kennedy in November 1963. It became absorbed into the popular culture with the termination of US ...

Debt Consolidation Canada

For Debt Consolidation Visit


Debt is not a new phenomenon. It has been here for as long as humanity itself. However, how we manage our debt has evolved over the years. For example, people no longer have to slave for feudal lords just because they could not pay up their debt. Nowadays, creditors are civil about how they collect their debts. In other words, they use lawyers and the courts.

You will never have to deal with bankruptcy lawyers if you learn how to manage your debt well. This is especially true in the modern economy that we live in. Now, you can actually consolidate your debt instead of having many creditors. Debt consolidation comes with many numerous benefits. Here are some of these benefits.

- Debt Consolidation Offers Single Payments to Your Creditors
Each financial transaction that you make has a certain cost attached to it. Making payments to your creditors is no exception. This means that you will incur a cost with every transaction that you make to each creditor. These transaction costs can be very expensive if you have many creditors to pay. You can avoid all of these costs by making single payments to a debt consolidation company. Your debt consolidation company will then disburse your funds to the relevant creditors.

- Debt Consolidation Gives You a Greater Bargaining Power
Negotiating with your creditors can be a very frustrating experience. They rarely listen. In fact, they usually ask for higher interest rates when you ask for a longer repayment period on your debt. Conversely, they will ask for a shorter repayment period on your loan if you ask for a lower interest rate. This cycle will go on and on just because you are an individual. In the end, you will have no longer but to accept what your creditors say.

- Debt Consolidation Helps
However, the presence of a debt consolidation company changes everything. You will now able to negotiate better terms with your creditors if you decide to consolidate your debt. This is because the presence of a debt consolidation company assures your creditors that they will receive their money in due time. This makes them more flexible as you negotiate terms with them.

Consolidate your debts today. Avoid the embarrassment of bankruptcy lawyers and the court system. Debt consolidation works.

SUMMARY
=======
George Henry Thomas (July 31, 1816 – March 28, 1870) was a United States Army officer and a Union general during the American Civil War, one of the principal commanders in the Western Theater.
Thomas served in the Mexican–American War and later chose to remain with the U.S. Army for the Civil War as a Southern Unionist, despite his heritage as a Virginian (whose home state would join the Confederate States of America). He won one of the first Union victories in the war, at Mill Springs in Kentucky, and served in important subordinate commands at Perryville and Stones River. His stout defense at the Battle of Chickamauga in 1863 saved the Union Army from being completely routed, earning him his most famous nickname, the Rock of Chickamauga. He followed soon after with a dramatic breakthrough on Missionary Ridge in the Battle of Chattanooga. In the Franklin–Nashville Campaign of 1864, he achieved one of the most decisive victories of the war, destroying the army of Confederate General John Bell Hood, his former student at West Point, at the Battle of Nashville.
Thomas had a successful record in the Civil War, but he failed to achieve the historical acclaim of some of his contemporaries, such as Ulysses S. Grant and William T. Sherman. He developed a reputation as a slow, deliberate general who shunned self-promotion and who turned down advancements in position when he did not think they were justified. After the war, he did not write memoirs to advance his legacy. He also had an uncomfortable personal relationship with Grant, which served him poorly as Grant advanced in rank and eventually to the Presidency.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Conversion therapy is the pseudoscientific practice of trying to change an individual's sexual orientation from homosexual or bisexual to heterosexual using psychological or spiritual interventions. There is no reliable evidence that sexual orientation can be changed and medical bodies warn that conversion therapy practices are ineffective and potentially harmful. Medical, scientific, and government organizations in the United States and United Kingdom have expressed concern over the validity, efficacy and ethics of conversion therapy. Various jurisdictions in Asia, Europe, Oceania, and the Americas have passed laws against conversion therapy.
The American Psychiatric Association (APA) opposes psychiatric treatment based upon the assumption that homosexuality per se is a mental disorder or based upon the a priori assumption that a patient should change his/her sexual homosexual orientation and describes attempts to change sexual orientation by practitioners as unethical. It also states that debates over the integration of gay and lesbian people have obscured science by calling into question the motives and even the character of individuals on both sides of the issue and that the advancement of conversion therapy may cause social harm by disseminating unscientific views about sexual orientation. United States Surgeon General David Satcher in 2001 issued a report stating that there is no valid scientific evidence that sexual orientation can be changed.The highest-profile advocates of conversion therapy today tend to be fundamentalist Christian groups and other organizations which use a religious justification for the therapy rather than speaking of homosexuality as a disease. The main organization advocating conversion therapy is the National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH), which, although notionally secular, often partners with religious groups.Techniques used in conversion therapy in the United States and Western Europe have included ice-pick lobotomies; chemical castration with hormonal treatment; aversive treatments, such as the application of electric shock to the hands and/or genitals; nausea-inducing drugs ... administered simultaneously with the presentation of homoerotic stimuli ...
