Bernie Sanders Rally at the Colonial Theater 3/10/19
United States Sen. Bernie Sanders' pitch to bring his progressive vision to the White House was welcomed by supporters Sunday in the Granite State. We live in an unprecedented moment in American history, the presidential candidate told attendees of a rally in the Colonial Theatre in Keene, N.H., following one in Concord, N.H. When you live in an unprecedented moment, you need an unprecedented response, which is what this campaign is about. Marit Bjerkadal of Bellows Falls has been waiting to see the senator speak and said there were a million reasons to come to Sunday's rally.
This time, the stars aligned and I got here, the Bellows Falls resident said while trying to locate a friend as the venue quickly filled with other supporters and Roots of Creation performed. Kristan Tilton of Troy, N.H., who worked on the 2016 campaign and described it as a wonderful experience, said she was not fully committed to Sanders this early on but was glad to see the senator move the Democratic party to the left. Universal health care resonates with Tilton, who said no one should go broke paying medical expenses. Christian Drake recently moved to Keene and hopes to catch as many of the Democrats running for presidents who come through town while campaigning. There's a lot more choice this time, he said, planning to vote for whoever will bring dignity back to the United States since the election of Donald Trump. I feel like we lost so much. It's denied to the average American and whoever is in a targeted or minority group. Sanders, who called Trump the most dangerous president in our lifetime and an embarrassment to the country, thanked attendees for being part of a political revolution that will transform the U.S. and work for all Americans. We will no longer accept 46 percent of all new income going to the top 1 percent, he said, noting that many people across the country work two to three jobs and live paycheck to paycheck. We will no longer accept a situation in which, in the wealthiest country in the history of the world, our younger generation will, if we don't turn it around, have a lower standard of living than their parents — lower wages, higher debt, unaffordable housing, less mobility — not to mention that we are now leaving our children with a national debt of $22 trillion. Tristam Patoine, a student at Keene State College, said it was no secret that his classmates will have some of the highest student debt in the U.S. when they gradate. If I stay in New Hampshire, I'll also find it very difficult to establish a life here, he said onstage before Sanders appeared, citing high property taxes and very low minimum wage in the state.

SUMMARY
=======
The Dutch East India Company (Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie or VOC) is one of the most influential and best expertly researched companies/corporations in history. As an exemplary historical company-state, the VOC had effectively transformed itself from a corporate entity into a state, an empire, or even a world in its own right. The VOC World (i.e. networks of people, places, things, activities, and events associated with the Dutch East India Company) has been the subject of a vast amount of literature that includes both fiction and non-fiction works. VOC World studies is an international multidisciplinary field focused on social, cultural, religious, scientific, technological, economic, financial, business, maritime, military, political, legal, diplomatic activities, institutional organization, and administration of the VOC and its colourful world. Some of the notable VOC historians/scholars include Sinnappah Arasaratnam, Leonard Blussé, Peter Borschberg, Charles Ralph Boxer, Jaap Bruijn, Femme Gaastra, Om Prakash, Günter Schilder, and Nigel Worden.
In terms of global business history, the lessons from the VOC's success and failure are critically important. With a permanent capital base, the VOC was the first permanently organized limited-liability joint-stock company at the dawn of modern capitalism. As an early pioneering model of the modern corporation, the VOC was the first corporation to be ever actually listed on a formal stock exchange. In the early 1600s the VOC became the world's first formally listed public company (or publicly listed company) by widely issuing bonds and shares of stock to the general public. In many respects, modern-day publicly listed multinational corporations (including Forbes Global 2000 companies) are all 'descendants' of the 17th-century VOC business model.
For almost 200 years of its existence (1602–1800), the Company played crucial roles in business, financial, socio-politico-economic, military-political, diplomatic, legal, ethnic, and exploratory maritime history of the world. In the early modern period, the VOC was the driving force behind the rise of corporate-led globalization, corporate power, corporate identity, corporate culture, corporate social responsibility, corporate governance, corporate finance, corporate capitalism, and finance capitalism. It was the VOC's institutional innovations and business practices that laid the foundations for the rise of giant global corporations to become a highly significant and formidable socio-politico-economic force of the modern world as we know it today ...

SUMMARY
=======
The home front during World War I covers the domestic, economic, social and political histories of countries involved in that conflict. It covers the mobilization of armed forces and war supplies, but does not include the military history. For nonmilitary interactions among the major players see Diplomatic history of World War I.
About 10 million combatants and seven million civilians died during the entire war, including many weakened by years of malnutrition; they fell in the worldwide Spanish Flu pandemic, which struck late in 1918, just as the war was ending.
The Allies had much more potential wealth that they could spend on the war. One estimate (using 1913 US dollars), is that the Allies spent $147 billion on the war and the Central Powers only $61 billion. Among the Allies, Britain and its Empire spent $47 billion and the US$27 billion; among the Central Powers, Germany spent $45 billion.Total war demanded total mobilization of all the nation's resources for a common goal. Manpower had to be channeled into the front lines (all the powers except the United States and Britain had large trained reserves designed for just that). Behind the lines labor power had to be redirected away from less necessary activities that were luxuries during a total war. In particular, vast munitions industries had to be built up to provide shells, guns, warships, uniforms, airplanes, and a hundred other weapons, both old and new. Agriculture had to be mobilized as well, to provide food for both civilians and for soldiers (many of whom had been farmers and needed to be replaced by old men, boys and women) and for horses to move supplies. Transportation in general was a challenge, especially when Britain and Germany each tried to intercept merchant ships headed for the enemy. Finance was a special challenge. Germany financed the Central Powers. Britain financed the Allies until 1916, when it ran out of money and had to borrow from the United States. The US took over the financing of the Allies in 1917 with loans that it insisted be repaid after the war. The victorious Allies looked to defeated Germany in 1919 to pay reparations that would cover some of their costs. Above all, it was essential to conduct the mobilization in such a way that the short term confidence of the people was maintained, the long-term power of the political establishment was upheld, and the long-term economic health of the nation was preserved. For more details on economics see Economic history of World War I.
