Ptolemy 
 He believed the planets and sun moved around the Earth in this order: Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn.
Ptolemy 
 It predicts the positions of the planets well  enough for naked-eye observations, so it seemed accurate at the time.
Ptolemy 
 This is described in his book Mathematical Syntaxis (widely called the Almagest), a thirteen-book mathematical treatment of the phenomena of astronomy.
Ptolemy 
 It contains a wide variety of information ranging from earth conceptions to sun, moon, and star movement as well as eclipses and an explanation of the length of months.

Apartheid 
 Apartheid was a racist political and social system in South Africa during the era of White minority rule.
Apartheid 
 It enforced racial discrimination against non-Whites, mainly focused on skin colour and facial features.
Apartheid 
 In the elections of 1948 the National Party took power and in the next few years made new apartheid laws.
Apartheid 
 In theory, it was to bring independence to the African majority in their own little countries to be created from South African territory.
Apartheid 
 Under this system, the people of South Africa were divided by their race and the different races were forced to live separately from each other.
Apartheid 
 The apartheid system in South Africa was abolished in 1994, when a new constitution was ratified which abolished the previous system of segregation.
Apartheid 
 The last President who held office during the apartheid era was Frederik Willem de Klerk; who was responsible for holding negotiations with political prisoner Nelson Mandela to bring an end to apartheid.
Apartheid 
 Following these successful negotiations, Nelson Mandela was elected to the Presidency of South Africa after multi-racial elections were held in April 1994, and became the first black person to hold the position.
Apartheid 
 The system was used to deny many basic rights to non-White people, mainly Black people who lived in South Africa.
Apartheid 
 Black people had to carry special passes or have permission to travel outside their designated area, or work in particular areas reserved for Whites.
Apartheid 
 The government separated mixed communities and forcibly moved many black people off their land (From 1960 to 1983 the Bantustan Policy was enforced to forcibly move South African blacks out of the areas designated for 'whites').
Apartheid 
 Many other laws were made, for example: interracial marriage was outlawed; Black people could not own land in White areas or vote.
Apartheid 
 The Soweto Uprisings started because Africans were forced to study some subjects at school in Afrikaans.
Apartheid 
 Many Black people did not like Afrikaans because it was the language of the apartheid government and the language of their oppressors.
Apartheid 
 Although Black South Africans were granted equal rights by law after a long fought campaign, there is still huge economic inequality between Blacks and Whites.
Apartheid 
 It found that the average Black family earned one-sixth (about 17%) of what the average White family earned. "
Apartheid 
 These figures tell us that at the bottom of the rung is the black majority who continue to be confronted by deep poverty unemployment and inequality,” President Jacob Zuma said when the findings were released.
Apartheid 
 Nelson Mandela spent the majority of his life fighting against apartheid laws, and without his activism; many of the changes would never have happened.
Apartheid 
 South Africa said they were independent countries and exchanged ambassadors but other countries did not.
Apartheid 
 They also wanted to keep the majority of South Africa's land for white people, especially the richest places, like the gold mines of Johannesburg.
Apartheid 
 They wanted black men to work in these mines for little money but their families had to live far away or face imprisonment.
Dreyfus Affair 
 When he was in prison, people (mostly his brother Mathieu and a high-ranking officer called Picquart) thought he was innocent.
Dreyfus Affair 
 Finally, the evidence that Dreyfus was innocent became so strong that the government had to demand a new trial.
Dreyfus Affair 
 The President of France, who did not want an innocent man to suffer any more, pardoned Dreyfus in 1899.
Dreyfus Affair 
 The affair divided France into people who thought Dreyfus really was a spy and people who thought he was innocent.
Dreyfus Affair 
 Many of those who thought Dreyfus was a spy hated Jews and believed that he was a criminal because he was a Jew, and that a Jew could not be a good Frenchman; this belief is called anti-Semitism.
Dreyfus Affair 
 The other side believed that an innocent man should not be imprisoned, and feared that Dreyfus's enemies were also enemies of France.

Baseball 
 Today, though, most Americans follow football more than baseball, especially when it comes time for the Super Bowl.
Baseball 
 Umpires watch everything carefully to decide what happened, make calls about a play, and make sure everyone follows the rules.
Baseball 
 First base is on the right side of the field, second base is at the top of the infield, third base is on the left side of the field, and home plate is at the back of the field, where the catcher plays.
Baseball 
 When one team hits the ball, the other team defends and tries to get three players on the other team out.
Baseball 
 Then the team that was batting starts playing defense, and the team that was playing defense starts batting.
Baseball 
 The lines from home plate to first base and home plate to third base are the foul lines, and the ground outside of these lines is called foul territory.
Baseball 
 A ball that is hit with a bat and flies between the foul lines is a fair ball, and the batter and runners can try and run around the bases and score.
Baseball 
 If the ball hits the ground in  the foul area  rather than being caught in the air, the batter continues to bat, and any runners must return to the base that they were on before the ball was hit.
Baseball 
 If the batter already has two strikes, and the foul ball is not caught in the air, then the batter continues to hit.
Baseball 
 If the pitcher throws the ball in the strike zone, which is the area  over home plate and between the hitter's knee and chest, the pitch is a "strike", unless the batter hits the ball.
Baseball 
 The pitch is always a strike, regardless of where it is, if the batter swings the bat and misses, so the batter must have good aim with the bat.
Baseball 
 On the fourth "ball" thrown by a pitcher, the batter "walks" to first base, so it is important to pitch well.
Baseball 
 The catcher for the pitcher's team waits behind the batter, and catches any ball that the batter does not hit.
Baseball 
 Some common ways to get batters out are catching a batted ball in the air, whether in fair or foul territory, throwing the ball to the defensive player at first base (an out if it gets there before the batter), and a strikeout.
Baseball 
 A runner can be put out by tagging the runner while the runner is not on a base, and by "forcing him out" (when a base is touched before a player can get there, with no base for the runner to go back to).
Baseball 
 When the fielding team has put out three of the batting team's players, the half-inning is over and the team in the field and the team at bat switch places.
Baseball 
 In order to get a run, a player must bat, then become a base runner, touch all the bases in order, and then touch home plate without being called out.
Baseball 
 A base runner who touches home plate after touching all previous bases in order, and without getting out, scores a run.
Baseball 
 If the batter hits the ball over the fence (between the foul lines) without touching the ground, it is a home run.
Baseball 
 However, there are usually four people that stand around the infield close to the bases and three outfielders who stand around the outfield.
Baseball 
 In a force play, another infielder catches a ball that has touched the ground, and throws it to the first baseman.
Baseball 
 The first baseman must then touch the batter or the base with the ball before the batter can touch first base.
Baseball 
 The second baseman's job is to cover the area to the right of second base and to back the first baseman up.
Baseball 
 Because the balls that go to third base are usually hit very hard, the third baseman must also be very quick.
Baseball 
 The three outfielders are called the left fielder, the center fielder, and the right fielder, because they stand in left field, center field and right field.
Baseball 
 Teams change their pitchers often because it is hard for a pitcher to throw a full game of nine innings.
Baseball 
 Pitchers change which  pitch they throw so that the batter will be tricked and not know what pitch to expect.
Baseball 
 Pitchers can make the ball move differently: faster or slower, closer or farther from the batter, higher or lower.
Baseball 
 There are also many types of pitches, such as the slurve, curve, slider, splitter, sinker, screw, 2-seam cut, 2-seam screw, knuckle, knuckle curve, change-up, circle change-up, palm ball, and others.
Baseball 
 Today, pitchers are able to recover from their injuries much more often than before Tommy John surgery.
Baseball 
 The player starts at Home plate and must go to each of the other bases in order and return to Home plate to score a run.
Baseball 
 Strike: A pitch that was thrown inside the strike zone and that the batter did not swing at, a pitch that the batter swung at and missed, or a ball that the batter hit into foul territory.
Baseball 
 Bullpen: the place where the pitchers watch the game and warm up before they start playing or when they are not playing.
Baseball 
 Outfield: where three players play, typically where the best arm, the fastest and the second best arm play
Baseball 
 Home Run: When the batter hits the ball outside the baseball field, he (and any runners on base) gets to run all of the bases and scores at home plate.

American Civil War 
 It was fought when 11 Southern states left the United States and formed the Confederate States of America (also called the Confederacy).
American Civil War

American Civil War 
 The Confederate States tried to leave the Union after Abraham Lincoln, who disliked slavery, was elected US president.
American Civil War

American Civil War

American Civil War

American Civil War
