Calvin Coolidge 
 He was married to Grace Coolidge and had 2 children: John Calvin Coolidge III (born September 6, 1906 - died May 31, 2000) and John Calvin Jr. (born April 13, 1908 - died July 7, 1924).
Calvin Coolidge 
 Coolidge fired the police who went on strike and gave the jobs to unemployed World War 1 veterans (he gave the same bonuses that the striking policemen asked for to the veterans).
Calvin Coolidge 
 Coolidge was criticized for refusing to give subsidies to farmers and when a giant flood happened in Mississippi during 1927, he did not want the federal government to be involved.
Calvin Coolidge 
 This was part of his belief of federalism, that the country's problems should be solved mainly by state governments and local governments rather than the federal government.
Calvin Coolidge 
 There is a story that at a dinner party, a woman once told Coolidge that she could get more than two words out of him, to which he replied "You lose."
Harry S. Truman 
 Harry S. Truman (May 8, 1884 – December 26, 1972) was the 33rd president of the United States, from 1945 to 1953.
Harry S. Truman 
 As president, Truman made important foreign policy decisions, such as using atomic weapons on Japan to end World War II; repairing Europe (which was destroyed during the war); beginning the Cold War, and getting the U.S. involved in the Korean War.
Harry S. Truman 
 The primary election would decide which Democrat would go on to face a Republican candidate in the final elections in November.
Harry S. Truman 
 However, about a month before the primary election, the railroad unions said that they wanted Truman to win.
Harry S. Truman 
 Then, two days before primary election day, Bernard Dickmann also said that he wanted Truman to win.
Harry S. Truman 
 Truman became the head of a committee that looked at how much money the United States was spending on defense during World War II.
Harry S. Truman 
 He found billions of dollars of spending that he thought was a waste, and could be cut out of what the U.S. was spending.
Harry S. Truman 
 Truman supported Roosevelt's leadership of the country in the war, but wanted to make the government less wasteful and more effective.
Harry S. Truman 
 The Democratic Party realized that whoever they selected as Vice President could be the next president of the United States. (
Harry S. Truman 
 In the U.S. government, if the President dies, the Vice President automatically becomes the new president.)
Harry S. Truman 
 Henry A. Wallace, Roosevelt's former Vice President, was not chosen because he had a friendly attitude toward the Soviet Union, which many people saw as a dictatorship.
Harry S. Truman 
 About becoming President, Truman said: "it felt like the moon, the stars, and all of the planets had fallen upon me."
Harry S. Truman 
 Because of this, Truman entered the presidency knowing not much more than the average person about what the U.S. military was doing in World War II.
Harry S. Truman 
 The Allies of World War II made the Potsdam Declaration, telling Japan to surrender or it would face "prompt and utter destruction."
Harry S. Truman 
 Japan did not surrender, so Truman ordered the first atomic bomb to be dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, on August 6th, 1945.
Harry S. Truman 
 The huge destructive power of the atomic bombs razed both cities, and killed over one hundred thousand people, with many more dying of radiation induced illnesses over subsequent years.
Harry S. Truman 
 People who disagreed with the decision, like General and future president Dwight Eisenhower, believe it was a cruel and inhumane attack on innocent people, when Japan was already close to being beaten.
Harry S. Truman 
 Truman thought that if the U.S. had invaded Japan instead of using the bombs to end the war quickly, many more Americans would have died.
Harry S. Truman 
 After the war, Truman ordered Europe (which was destroyed during the war) to be repaired with the Marshall Plan.
Harry S. Truman

Harry S. Truman 
 After World War II, the Soviet Union and the United States were the only two powerful countries left.
Harry S. Truman 
 With Germany being divided between the Soviet Union and the United States, tensions began to increase between the two countries.
Harry S. Truman 
 This was a war where the Soviet Union and the United States did not fight directly, but each wanted to have a bigger influence than the other over the world.
Harry S. Truman 
 Truman believed in a policy called containment: that the U.S. should contain communism and stop it from spreading.
Harry S. Truman 
 Truman declared the Truman Doctrine, which said the United States should give money to Turkey and Greece so that they could be strong enough to defend themselves from communism.
Harry S. Truman 
 While Truman sympathized with the working class, when there was a huge railroad strike, Truman believed it was illegal.
Harry S. Truman 
 He also thought it was unfair to people who could not get to work because the railroads were not running.
Harry S. Truman 
 The Chicago Tribune published a newspaper on the night of the election with the title "Dewey Defeats Truman".
Harry S. Truman 
 He was very unpopular because thousands of Americans died in the Korean War; there was a medium amount of corruption in his government; and people were accusing many of Truman's employees of being communists.
Harry S. Truman 
 He died on December 26, 1972 in Kansas City, Missouri of multiple organ failure caused by pneumonia at the age of 88.

John Adams 
 Even though he did not want British soldiers in Boston, he was the lawyer who defended the British soldiers who were involved in the Boston Massacre.
John Adams 
 Adams is thought to have been the first president to belong to a political party, but like George Washington, he thought himself above any particular party.
John Adams 
 He also passed the Alien and Sedition Acts which made it illegal to say bad things about the government.
John Adams 
 This was the same day that Thomas Jefferson died, and was also exactly 50 years after the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776.
Bill Clinton 
 William Jefferson "Bill" Clinton (born William Jefferson Blythe III; August 19, 1946) is an American politician and humanitarian activist.

Bill Clinton 
 The Cold War was over and there was very little need for the U.S. military to get involved in the world's affairs, so defense spending was significantly lowered.
Bill Clinton 
 The economy was doing very well during his term, though there is a debate whether the economy was well because of Clinton's policies or because of the Republicans' policies.
Bill Clinton 
 The decade ended with it being the first time the United States did not have to borrow money to pay for its budget.
Bill Clinton

Yield 
 In economics, the yield is how much money somebody is paid each year for leaving his or her money invested somewhere.
Yield 
 This means that somebody usually knows how much money they are going to make from their yield ahead of time.
Yield 
 However, there is usually an order for which are most risky and which are the least: the least risky instruments, such as treasury bonds, yield the least, then safe and "guaranteed" instruments like long-term deposits, then overnight deposits, and so on to the various municipal bond and corporate bonds.
Moral purchasing 
 For example, when a person chooses to buy local goods instead of those from other countries, helps neighbours and processes that one can point to quickly.
Social network 
 The social relationships may include friendship/affect, communication, economic transactions, interactions, kinship, authority/hierarchy, trust, social support, diffusion, contagion, and so on.
Social network 
 Calling social relationships a network calls attention to the pattern or structure of the set of relationships.
Social network 
 A community social network is the pattern of relationships among a set of people and/or organizations in a community.
Social network 
 How big a personal network becomes depends on the individual and the type of relationships considered.
Social network 
 The set of people that a person knows well or with whom a person frequently interacts seldom exceeds several hundred.
Social network 
 There is a so-called "Law of 150" which suggests that about 150 people is the best size for a village or large clan though most people live in much bigger towns.
Social network 
 Some experts think that a corporation has an ideal size of about 70 people: these people and their spouses would also make a large social network.
Social network 
 Social networks are vulnerable to them, since the circumstances where help is required, like disasters, occur by surprise.
Social network 
 It might happen that someone cannot help at that one time - it might also happen that they are not there the next time.
Social network 
 Only slowly does it become obvious who is and is not contributing to the safety of the group, or who is avoiding this duty.
Social network 
 This may be employment, common interest in a sport or pastime, a religion (a mosque, church or temple is almost always a center of a social network).
Social network 
 Often the network has an identity of its own which is quite real, even though it may have no official recognition.
Social network 
 Networks may be centered on places, or on families, or on worldwide communities with common interests.
Cabal 
 The former chief of staff, Lawrence Wilkerson, of the Secretary of State Colin Powell said that the foreign policy of George W. Bush's administration were run by a "Cheney-Rumsfeld cabal".
Cabal 
 With this word he meant that the President had not really the power that he is given by the constitution and that the Vice President and the Secretary of Defense had more influence than they should have.
Creating 
 Creating is making new things that have not existed before, usually by combining two or three things that existed.
Creating 
 Art is almost always called creative, but so are other activities like music, mathematics, technology, business, craft, building, gardening and forestry, if they combine things to get new things.
Creating 
 What is "not creative" is usually called imitative, and includes anything that is mostly trying not to do what has never been done – like law, sports, science, war, and especially education.
Creating 
 Most people fear change and new things, and so what is most stable and considered important by society tends to be imitative and done in teams.
Creating 
 But unless society encourages creating it loses out to others by competition in business or technology, so there must be some creative networks, somewhere, in labs or art studios.
Creating 
 Views of control of creative work also depend very much on religious and spiritual views of nature (or a creator) creating Man, according to economist Lester Thurow.
Creating 
 Those ethical traditions that see "Man in the image of God" have created legal codes (see guild, intellectual right, intellectual interest, intellectual property) to tightly control what they are creating or have created.
Creating 
 Many people give away what they have created and never think about it as property – other people try to control it and get paid every time anyone sees it – or even every time they just talk about it.
Creating 
 Wikipedia uses the GNU FDL which is a content license that tries to get people to combine what they are creating, with no one clearly in control.
Creating 
 This is considered strange by many people, who are uncomfortable with that idea, or seek to control some aspect of it themselves.
Human science 
 Human science is the science of humans:  what makes them different from animals, and their limits, which tend to be the same as those of other animals.
Human science 
 Because human bodies are animal bodies, human science is part of biology which leads to Life Science.
Human science 
 However human behaviour includes the use of words, measures, numbers, knowing time and having memory, and such habits as trade - thus economics and psychology are considered to be part of human science.
Human science 
 A general human science is anthropology which studies only the differences between humans and near relatives.
Human science 
 One important debate in human science is whether the exchange of culture (or in economics instructional capital), is only among humans or if it also goes on among our Great Ape near relatives.
Human science 
 If so, then culture is part of primatology and there is no clear line between human science and life sciences.
Human science 
 Another name for human science is Social Science, since the most complex thing about humans is how they relate to each other in society.
Human science 
 However, life science also deals with humans as objects of study (notably in medicine), while hard science such as chemistry deals with humans as the observer who does the study - sets the scale at which observation can happen, incurs observer effects - as studied in philosophy of science.
Human science 
 For instance economics is the study of how humans make a living, while ecology is the study of how non-humans make a living.
Human science 
 Medicine is normally restricted to humans while veterinary medicine refers to the same techniques made on other species.
Human science 
 One relies more on ethics and less on economics when dealing with humans, at least according to any ethical tradition.
Human science 
 The living, social, and sensory observing aspects of humans are probably all part of the human sciences to the degree they affect how humans view themselves.
Human science 
 Specific human sciences are (in addition to anthropology and ethics and economics) include psychology, sociology and linguistics.
Human science 
 There is debate as to whether mathematics is something human or if it is universal - see philosophy of mathematics on this.
Flaying 
 Accounts attribute the practice to the ancient Assyrians, who were said to flay the skin from a captured enemy or rebellious ruler and nail it to the wall of his city, as warning to all who would defy their power.
Flaying 
 Searing or cutting the flesh from the body was sometimes used as part of the public execution of traitors in medieval Europe.
Flaying 
 A similar mode of execution was used as late as the early 18th century in France; one such episode is graphically recounted in the opening chapter of Michel Foucault's Discipline and Punish (1979).
Rice 
 It is grown in warm parts of the world, mainly Asia, Africa, northern Italy, and the west coast of North America.
Rice 
 Rice accounts for 80% of the calories eaten in Asia, or one-fifth of the calories eaten worldwide by humans.
