Radium girls

The **radium girls** were a group of female factory workers who sued their employer in 1917.

They had worked at a factory on Orange, New Jersey. Their job was to paint the dials of watches with radium paint, so that the numbers would glow in the dark. The substance used to paint was luminous paint, which contained radium. Radium is radioactive, and causes radiation sickness. The workers used paintbrushes to draw fine lines; the brush would only draw such a line when it was wet.  The girls would put the brushes in their mouths to lick them. The women were told the paint was harmless. Over time, they ingested deadly amounts of radium paint. Some workers used the paint to paint their fingernails.

## Unexplained deaths

In 1920, three big  American companies produced about four million watches containing luminous paint. The best-known of these factories was in  Orange, New Jersey. It belonged to the  United States Radium Corporation. Other similar companies were in Connectcut, in Waterbury, Bristol, Thomaston and New Haven , as well as Ottawa, Illinois. 30 workers in Connecticut died from radiation poisoning, 35 died in Illinois, and 41 in New Jersey. Other sources speak about 40 deaths in Ottawa alone.

## Trying to cover up

At first, the dangers of radium were unknown. Over the years, many workers got sick, and some died. Employers ignored these diseases, and later tried to cover up the cases. They suffered from diseases, such as anemia, broken bones, and necrosis of the jaw, which was called Radium Jaw at the time. Different studies were done, to determine the cause of these diseases. In that context, it turned out that at least one of the studies was fraudulent; it had been commissioned by one of the companies involved. U.S. Radium and other companies tried to avoid any connection between the exposure to Radium and the diseases. Because of the pressure of the companies, the dentists and physicians involved held back their results for some time. Pathologists were also put under pressure, to attribute the death of the women to other causes. Very often, the death was attributed to Syphilis, which also harmed the credibility of the women.

## Women suing

Five workers sued their employer. The case that followed made it clear that people could sue their employer, if they contract occupational diseases.
Consuming radium is dangerous and it causes a symptom called "Radium Jaw". The five workers won the case in 1938, and their employer had to pay damages.

Sock puppet (internet)

A **sockpuppet** is a fake name used on the Internet planned to hide a person's real identity. Another word to describe a sock puppet would be alter ego. Often, a sock puppet identity is used to spread ideas or get knowledge anonymously. Very often, they are used by individuals on the Internet praising themselves while pretending to be someone else. Politicians have frequently been accused of using sock puppets. Straw man sockpuppets are designed to create political mischief (making fun of an opponent's position for example). It can make it appear many people hold a certain opinion, when in fact that is false. Many online communities want to block sockpuppets. It can also be used to make a person look bad.

## History

The term "sockpuppet" was used as early as July 9, 1993. By 1996 it was in general use.  The _Oxford English Dictionary_ at first defined it as "a person whose actions are controlled by another". In 2000 the U.S. News and World Report associated the word minion with a sock puppet. In 2006, an aide to a Republican congressman was caught posting messages on Democratic Party sites. Using a false identity the aide was trying to convince Democrats not to support a certain candidate.

## Other examples

- The history of reviewing one's own work under another name predates the Internet. Walt Whitman and Anthony Burgess both reviewed their own books under pseudonyms (false names).

- Benjamin Franklin was known to have used many pseudonyms. Some were invented to avoid censorship. Other alter egos were to invent people to argue every side of an issue. Some of his invented names were for the purpose of satire. Others were for humor to entertain his readers.

- US Intelligence agencies use sockpuppets to hide the identities of people collecting intelligence. The Huffington Post ran an article a software provider working with the US agencies on software to help manage multiple online identities.

- On October 21, 2013 the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) condemned paid advocacy sockpuppeting on Wikipedia and, on October 23, specifically banned editing by the public relations firm Wiki-PR.

## Meatpuppet

A meatpuppet is similar to a sockpuppet, except a person joins users to a website, such as Wikipedia, to be used with sockpuppet behaviors. Such users are actually real people that come to help another person. If a person uses real people to create accounts that support that person's opinions, this form of meatpuppetry is often called "astroturfing", a type of false impression of support.

Luminous paint

**Luminous paint** or **luminescent paint** is a kind of paint that gives off visible light and that glows in the dark. There are several ways this can be done:
- It is possible to convert invisible UV light into visible light. Typically, blue light, and the near-blue part of UV light is changed to a bigger wavelength, such as blue-green, yellow or red. This effect is known as fluorescence. At the same intensity, tones of red or yellow appear brighter to the human eye. This kind of paint is used for high-visibility clothing, for example.

- It is possible to store the energy of the light, and to emit this energy in the form of visible light later on. The effect is known as phosphorescence. Emergency exits are marked with this kind of paint.
- A  radioactive substance can be used; the energy of this radioactive decay can be converted into visible light. Today, the radiation of these substances is shielded easily, since the substances used only emit alpha radiation, or low-energy beta radiation. At the beginning of the 20th century, radium isotopes were used, which led to a number of cases of radiation poisoning; one of the most prominent cases is that of the Radium girls.

Harald Fairhair

**Harald Fairhair** (c. 850 – c. 932) was the first King of Norway. According to traditions today in Norway and Iceland, during the 12th and 13th centuries, he was king from 872 to 930. Most of what we know about him comes from several sagas, written up to three centuries after he died.

## Life

He was the son of Halvdan the Black. Harald was the first petty king to gain control of the coastal areas of Norway. After the battle of Hafrsfjord in 872 Harald became king of most of Norway. It was the last of a series of battles between Harald and other feudal states in Norway.

Because of Skaldic poems (poems honouring heroes in Scandinavia), we know that he was successful in fighting against his opponents in Norway. Eric Bloodaxe and Haakon the Good, his two sons, became King after he died of old age.

Fairhair may have had as many as 11-20 sons according to different Sagas. Twelve of them became Kings and were all assigned land.
