Two American Entrepreneurs: Madam C.J. Walker and J.C. Penney
               
From the site:

The workplaces described in this lesson reveal a good deal about the philosophies and interests of two successful early 20th-century businesspeople who stuck by their principles as they pursued their dreams: Madam C.J. Walker and James Cash Penney. Madam C.J. Walker (1867-1919) developed, manufactured, and sold formulas for hair care and other beauty products for African-American women… James Cash Penney (1875-1971) believed that working people in isolated regions in the West deserved to have dry goods stores nearby that would offer quality products at reasonable prices.

Talkin’ ‘bout My Green Generation

From the site:

In 2010, Earth Day, held every April 22, celebrates its 40th anniversary. Sen. Gaylord Nelson (D-Wisc.), considered one of the leaders of the modern environmental movement, developed the idea for Earth Day after being inspired by the anti-Vietnam-War "teach-ins" that were taking place on college campuses around the United States. Nelson said he envisioned a large-scale, grassroots environmental demonstration "to shake up the political establishment and force this issue onto the national agenda."

Symptom Checker

Use WebMD To Research Your Symptoms
web md Web MD is one of the most popular health resources on the Web for a few simple reasons, and here they are (in no particular order).

The Symptom Checker is an interesting (and frankly addicting) way to check any symptoms you might be experiencing. Whether you're a man, woman, or child, you can find answers to pretty much any symptom here. Of course, this doesn't substitute for a real live doctor, but it's certainly a good way to get some initial information. The best way to use the Web MD symptom checker is to make sure you have some pretty specific symptoms in mind - you'll get better results this way. Make sure you see a doctor if you come up with anything that needs medical attention.

    * Insomnia - a hard time falling or staying asleep
    * Sleep apnea - breathing interruptions during sleep
    * Restless legs syndrome - a tingling or prickly sensation in the legs
    * Narcolepsy - daytime "sleep attacks"

Nightmares, night terrors, sleepwalking, sleep talking, head banging, wetting the bed and grinding your teeth are kinds of sleep problems called parasomnias. There are treatments for most sleep disorders. Sometimes just having regular sleep habits can help.

Bodleian Library Broadside Ballads

There are few things as fine as a ballad, and the Bodleian Library at the
University of Oxford happens to have over 30,000 in its collection.
Broadside ballads were popular songs, and they were generally sold for a
penny (or less) in villages around Britain between the sixteenth and
twentieth centuries. Many of these ballads have been digitized and placed on
this website for use by music historians, social historians, and members of
the general public. Visitors can click on "The Project" to learn a bit more
about this initiative, and they can move on to listen to a few sound files,
and also learn about the graphic images used on such pieces of music. By
that point, users will be very excited to browse through the digital
collection on their own. If they click on the "Browse/Search" area, they can
perform a detailed search on the ballad titles or first lines. To get
started, visitors might want to type in words like "lucky" or "horse". [KMG]

looking for here. One collection that is definitely worth a look is "The
Changing Landscape of New Jersey". Here, visitors can click on a specific
county, which will lead them to a set of diverse maps complete with a brief
set of facts about each county.  Also included for each county are links to
the county's historical society (if available), other historical collections
for the county, and a helpful article entitled "A Historian's tips to

Mon., April 5, 2010 - Parthia: The Forgotten Empire


---------Forwarded Message--------

Site of the Day for Thursday, January 22, 2009

Parthia: The Forgotten Empire

Today's site, from the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, offers an
exhibit on a almost forgotten empire and people -- the Parthians. Gentle
Subscribers may find this an interesting presentation on a culture which has become
one of history's footnotes but which has lent the memorable phrase, "Parthian
shot," to the English lexicon.

"Who were the Parthians? Why are they interesting? What have they left behind? ...
The Parthians created an empire which, at its height, presented Rome with a serious
challenge for the control of the Middle East west of the Euphrates river. They were
the only civilized power to withstand the might of Rome at its height ... So, who
were these Parthians, whose empire stretched from the Hindu Kush to Mesopotamia?
How is it that a people who created an empire which lasted for almost 500 years
have been so nearly forgotten? This presentation will take advantage of the
National Numismatic Collection's collection of Parthian coins in order to answer
these questions and, hopefully to impart a sense of the important role played by
the Parthians in the history of the Middle East." - from the website

The exhibit is divided into a number of sections featuring the history of the
Parthians in a primarily text-based format. The geography section highlights a
number of maps illustrating the extent of the Parthian empire, complete with notes
explaining the significance of each map. Further sections provide details on the
Parthian rulers, from 238 BC to the virtual end of the empire in 224 AD. The links
in the rulers section go directly to the coins associated with that leader and
generally bear that ruler's image. Additional information is provided on the
Parthian coinage itself, while an artefact displaying a "Parthian shot" has also
been included.

---------Forwarded Message--------

Hi! It's Friday, January 23, 2009 and time for a Virtual
Field Trip at ClickSchooling!

Recommended Website
Electric Scotland

Take a picture-tour of scenic Scotland! At this site a native
Scotsman shares his love of his homeland through photos and
captions. Don't let a first glimpse of this website deceive
you - there is lots and lots of fun and fascinating content
here.

When you get to the site you'll see a photograph of Pitlochry,
Scotland. Below it is a menu of links to photo archives of
various scenic tours and historic landmarks throughout the
country. Click on any one and the pictorial adventure begins.
But that's not all!

Use the menu that (in very tiny print) at the top left side of
the webpage to explore this site that ClickScholar MaryAnna
recommended. Her description says it all...

"Sometimes a website is so full of information that you just
can't believe it. And then you find out that it has even more
than you thought. This website has almost 300 complete BOOKS
online! Learn all about Scotland: its history, culture,
traditions, beliefs, famous Scots, family lines and
biographies, fairy tales, legends, folk wisdom, influence in
other countries, travel-logues, economy, church history,
sports, geography, literature, and on and on. It's all in a
very accessible format, in readable chunks, with rapid
download. A Scotland aficionado could easily spend a few years
here. Anyone planning scholarly research on Scotland would
definitely want to bookmark this site.

But there's more! This website is loaded with CHILDREN'S
stories, poetry, recipes, heraldry, photos of Scotland, and
even videos! And if that's not impressive enough, how about
some addictive Scottish-themed (and other) arcade games (most
of them require free registration), children's stories in real
audio, and even a children's educational page for those pesky
homework assignments? Enjoy Scottish music and
downloadable/printable games!

You'll also find a FactFiles flashcard screensaver for your
desktop that is full of information about Scotland. You can
interact with the online Scottish community [parental
supervision required] or plan a trip to Scotland.

Do I hear someone crying, "Enough! Enough!"? And yet there's
still a whole lot more. And the site is still growing...

Unbelievable."

How's that for a recommendation? As MaryAnna effused, there
is a lot of content here. Because of that, we were unable to
review the entire site that also contains links to other
resources we haven't reviewed as well. So, AS ALWAYS, PARENTS
MUST PREVIEW THE SITE TO DETERMINE SUITABILITY OF CONTENT.

Enjoy!

Site of the Day for Thursday, January 29, 2009

The Color of Life: Polychromy in Sculpture from Antiquity to the Present

Today's site, from the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Villa in Malibu,
California, presents an exhibit highlighting the use of color in sculpture from
ancient to modern times. Gentle Subscribers will discover an engaging display
designed to illuminate the role color has played in an art form that is still
generally not perceived as being associated with color.

"This exhibition features polychrome (multicolored) masterpieces that reveal the
many uses of color in figural sculpture over the course of four millennia. ...
Since antiquity, sculptors have utilized colored materials and applied pigments to
give a lifelike quality to their statues. ... Color can also help identify the
subject of a work. The pigmentation of skin, garments, and accessories often
conveys royal or divine status and distinguishes social roles." - from the website

The exhibit offers a slideshow emphasizing European sculpture with a focus on the
human figure, stretching back to ancient Greece. An accompanying audio component
gives the visitor a guided tour of the exhibit, explaining how the concept of
polychrome sculpture, common in ancient figures, was lost over the ages. Additional
features of the exhibit include videos, such as the one zeroing in on the colors of
ancient sculptures, as well as an examination of a particular sculpture and the
delineation of the significance of the colors used in its design. A final section
focuses on the work of a modern sculptor, with an audio commentary.
