Finnish Civil War
The Finnish Civil War was a civil war in Finland between January 27 and May 15 in 1918. The war was fought between the Reds and the Whites. The Reds were led by a section of the Social Democratic Party and were supported by Soviet Russia. The Whites were led by the conservative-based Senate (government) and supported by the German Imperial Army. The Whites won the war. As a result the Russian influence on Finland became smaller, but the Finnish people continued to be divided for a long time.
The Russian Empire had broken after the First World War and Finland had gained independence on 6 December 1917. The Finns did not agree on how Finland should be governed.
The war divided Finland for a long time. After the war about 80,000 Reds had to go to prison camps. About 1,300 of them died because of diseases and hunger, about 500 of them were sentenced to death.

Anti-Federalist papers
The Anti-Federalist papers is the name given to a number of essays, which some of the Founding Fathers of the United States wrote. The writers were opposed to the idea of a Constitution for the United States. These papers were written in the 1790s, and published in different newspapers. The Constitution wanted a stronger union between the states, the people who wrote the Anti-Federalist papers were opposed to this. All the essays were written under false names. The Anti-Federalist papers didn't have the same influence as the Federalist Papers, who argued in favor of a constitution. The Anti-Federalist papers were unable to stop the ratification of the constitution. They were important for the United States Bill of Righs, though.

Theodolite
A theodolite is a tool for measuring angles between two places (or points) from one place. They are usually associated with surveying. They are often mounted on a special kind of tripod.
They are usually a telescope on a mount that can move horizontally (left and right) and vertically (up and down). The mount has a scale where the readings are taken, usually in degrees for older models and arc minutes or arc seconds for newer models. The telescope normally has a crosshair to make it easy to align it to the points to be surveyed. The theodolite was the first tool that could do vertical and horizontal measurements in the same device.
Most modern theodolites are electronic and the readings are read from a digital display.
A "transit" is a kind of theodolite that can do a whole circle vertically and horizontally.
