American popular music
Beginning in the late 1920s , a distinctive style first called `` old - timey '' or `` hillbilly '' music began to be broadcast and recorded in the rural South and Midwest ; early artists included the Carter Family , Charlie Poole and his North Carolina Ramblers , and Jimmie Rodgers . The performance and dissemination of this music was regional at first , but the population shifts caused by World War II spread it more widely . After the war , there was increased interest in specialty styles , including what had been known as race and hillbilly music ; these styles were renamed to rhythm and blues and country and western , respectively . Major labels had some success promoting two kinds of country acts : Southern novelty performers like Tex Williams and singers like Frankie Laine , who mixed pop and country in a conventionally sentimental style . This period also saw the rise of Hank Williams , a white country singer who had learned the blues from a black street musician named Tee - Tot , in northwest Alabama . Before his death in 1953 , Hank Williams recorded eleven singles that sold at least a million copies each and pioneered the Nashville sound .
Santa Barbara, California
Santa Barbara experiences a warm - summer Mediterranean climate ( Köppen : Csb ) characteristic of coastal California . Santa Barbara 's weather was ranked number 1 in the United States in 2018 by US News and World Report . Because the city lies along the ocean and parallel to the predominant westerly winds , sideshore and light onshore breezes moderate temperatures resulting in warmer winters and cooler summers compared with places farther inland . In the winter , storms reach California , some of which bring heavy rainfall but the rainshadow effect of the coastal mountains can at times moderate or enhance the rainfall depending on local storm wind flows . Local rainfall totals can be enhanced by orographic lift when storms are accompanied by southerly flow pushing moist air over the Santa Ynez mountains , producing greater rainfall than in other coastal areas . Summers in Southern California are mostly rainless due to the presence of a high - pressure area over the eastern Pacific , but summer showers can happen due to tropical hurricane / Monsoonal flows that rarely reach Santa Barbara . In the fall , afternoon or evening downslope winds , locally called `` Sundowners '' , can raise temperatures into the high 90s and drop humidities into the single digits , increasing the chance due to downed powerlines etc. and severity of wildfires in the foothills north of the city . Annual rainfall totals are highly variable and in exceptional years like 1940 -- 1941 and 1997 -- 1998 over 40 inches ( 1.0 m ) of rain have fallen in a year , but in dry seasons less than 6 inches ( 150 mm ) is not unheard of . Snow sometimes covers higher elevations of the Santa Ynez Mountains but is extremely rare in the city itself . The most recent accumulating snow to fall near sea level was in January 1949 , when approximately two inches fell in the city .
History of education in the United States

Israel

The Southern Negev and the Arava areas have a desert climate with very hot , dry summers , and mild winters with few days of rain . The highest temperature in the continent of Asia ( 54.0 ° C or 129.2 ° F ) was recorded in 1942 at Tirat Zvi kibbutz in the northern Jordan River valley .

History of United States prison systems
During the Reconstruction Era , the North Carolina legislature authorized state judges to sentence offenders to work on chain gangs on county roads , railroads , or other internal improvements for a maximum term of one year -- though escapees who were recaptured would have to serve double their original sentence . North Carolina had failed to erect a penitentiary in the antebellum period , and its legislators planned to build an Auburn - style penitentiary to replace the penal labor system . But graft and shady dealings soon rendered a new prison impracticable , and North Carolina convicts continued to be leased to railroad companies .

Brown bear
It is thought the Eurasian bears which colonized America were tundra - adapted ( as are many grizzlies are today in North America ) and the species is sometimes found around sub-Arctic ice fields . This is indicated by brown bears in the Chukotka Peninsula on the Asian side of Bering Strait , which are the only Asian brown bears to live year - round in lowland tundra like their North American cousins . Genetics relay that two separate radiations led to today 's North American brown bears one a coastal form that lead to Kodiak bear ( from U. a . beringianus or a common ancestor ) and one an interior form that lead to the grizzly bear ( from U. a . lasiotus or a common ancestor ) . In Arctic areas , the potential habitat of the brown bear is increasing . The warming of that region has allowed the species to move farther north into what was once exclusively the domain of the polar bear ( potentially another offshoot of a radiation of coastal brown bears ) . In non-Arctic areas , habitat loss is blamed as the leading cause of endangerment , followed by hunting .

Iowa-class battleship
The Iowa - class battleships were a class of six fast battleships ordered by the United States Navy in 1939 and 1940 to escort the Fast Carrier Task Forces that would operate in the Pacific Theater of World War II . Four were completed ; two more were laid down but canceled in 1945 at war 's end , and both hulls were scrapped in 1958 . Like other third - generation American battleships , the Iowas followed the design pattern set forth in the preceding North Carolina - class and South Dakota - class battleships , which emphasized speed in addition to secondary and anti-aircraft batteries . Based on wartime experience , they were to serve as fast escorts for Essex - class aircraft carriers .
