Purpose of a History Essay
Wondering how to write a history essay? It helps to understand its purpose. This essay aims to examine the influences that lead to a historical event. It can also explore the importance of an individual's impact on history.
However, the goal isn't to stay in the past. A well-written history essay should discuss the relevancy of the event or person to the "now". After finishing this essay, a reader should have a fuller understanding of the lasting impact of an event or individual.

Elements for Success
Understanding how to write a history essay is crucial in creating a successful paper. These essays should never only outline successful historic events or list an individual's achievements. Instead, they should focus on examining questions beginning with what, how, and why. Here's a pro tip in how to write a history essay: brainstorm questions. Once you've got questions, you have an excellent starting point.

Preparing to Write
A typical history essay format requires the writer to provide background on the event or person, examine major influences, and discuss the importance of the forces both then and now. When preparing to write, it's helpful to organize the information you need to research into questions. For example:
- Who
- Who were the major contributors to this event?
- Who opposed or fought against this event?
- Who gained or lost from this event?
- Who benefits from this event today?
- What
- What factors led up to this event?
- What changes occurred because of this event?
- What lasting impacts occurred locally, nationally, globally due to this event?
- What lessons (if any) were learned?
- Why
- Why did this event occur?
- Why did certain populations support it?
- Why did certain populations oppose it?
These questions exist as samples. Generate questions specific to your topic. Once you have a list of questions, it's time to evaluate them.
Evaluating the Question
Seasoned writers approach to writing history by examining the historic event or individual. The goal is to assess the impact then and now. To do so, the writer needs to evaluate the importance of the main essay guiding the paper. For example, if the essay's topic is the rise of American prohibition, a proper question may be "How did societal factors influence the rise of American prohibition during the 1920s?"
This question is open-ended, allowing for insightful analysis, and limits the research to societal factors. Additionally, work to identify key terms in the question. In the example, key terms would be "societal factors" and "prohibition".
Summarizing the Argument
The argument should answer the question. Use the thesis statement to clarify the argument and outline how you plan to make your case. The thesis should be sharp, clear, and multi-faceted. Consider the following tips when summarizing the case:
- The thesis should be a single sentence
- It should include a concise argument and a roadmap
- It's always okay to revise the thesis as the paper develops
- Conduct a bit of research to ensure you have enough support for the ideas within the paper
Outlining a History Essay Plan
Once you've refined your argument, it's time to outline. Many skip this step to regret it then. The outline is the map that shows where you need to arrive historically and when. Taking the time to plan, placing the strongest argument last, and identifying your sources of research is a good use of time. When you're ready to outline, do the following:
- Consider the necessary background the reader should know in the introduction paragraph
- Define any important terms and vocabulary
- Determine which ideas will need the cited support
- Identify how each idea supports the main argument
- Brainstorm key points to review in the conclusion
Gathering Sources
History essays typically require both primary and secondary sources. Primary resources are those that were created during the historical period being analyzed. Secondary resources are those created by historians and scholars about the topic. It's a good idea to know if the professor requires a specific number of sources, and what kind he or she prefers. Most tutors prefer primary over secondary sources.
Where to find sources? Great question! Check out bibliographies included in required class readings. Ask a campus Librarian. Peruse online journal databases; most colleges provide students with free access. When in doubt, make an appointment and ask the professor for guidance.
Writing the Essay
Now, that you have prepared your questions, ideas, and arguments; composed the outline; and gathered sources – it's time to write your first draft. Each section of your history essay must serve its purpose. Here is what you should include in essay paragraphs.
Introduction Paragraph
Unsure of how to start a history essay? Well, like most essays, the introduction should include an attention-getter (or hook):
- Relevant fact or statistic
- Rhetorical Question
- Interesting quotation
- Application anecdote if appropriate
After gaining the reader's interest, introduce the topic. Next, present critical historic context. It is necessary to introduce any key individuals or events that will be discussed later in the essay. End with a strong thesis, which acts as a transition to the first argument.
Body Paragraphs
Each body paragraph should offer a single idea to support the argument. After writing a strong topic sentence, the topic should be supported with correctly cited research. A typical body paragraph is arranged as follows:
- Topic sentence linking to the thesis
- Background of the topic
- Research quotation or paraphrase #1
- Explanation and analysis of research
- Research quotation or paraphrase #2
- Explanation and analysis of research
- Discussion
- Transition to the next paragraph
The point of body paragraphs is to build the argument. Present the weakest support first and end with the strongest—doing so leaves the reader with the best possible evidence.
Conclusion Paragraph
You're almost there! Conclusion paragraphs should review the most important points in the paper. Prove that you've supported the argument proposed in the thesis. When writing a conclusion paragraph keep these tips in mind:
- Keep it simple
- Avoid introducing new information
- Review major points
- Discuss the relevance to today

Make it Shine
An A-level essay takes planning and revision, but it's achievable. Avoid procrastination and start early. Leave yourself plenty of time to brainstorm, outline, research and write. Follow these five tips to make your history essay shine:
- Write a substantial introduction. It's the first impression the professor will have of the paper.
- State a clear thesis. A strong thesis is easier to support.
- Incorporate evidence critically. If while researching you find opposing arguments, include them and discuss their flaws.
- Cite all the research. Whether direct quotations or paraphrases, citing evidence is crucial to avoiding plagiarism, which can have serious academic consequences.
- Include primary and secondary resources. While primary resources may be harder to find, the professor will expect them—this is, after all, a history essay.

It's something a little bit dark, a little bit macabre but also in a weird twisted way, it's kinda cute too... It's also making me sing songs from Disney's Alice in Wonderland - the original - about Painting Roses Red LOL...
The look was one that started because of a dress. A dress by a designer that was taking a bit of an SL design break, but couldn't resist dipping her top in the water again for The Dark Style Fair - which runs until May 22nd by the way. I cannot say that I blame her, I mean I get itchy when I don't blog, so no wonder she came out of design hiatus to create a little something that scratches that itch!
OK, enough rambling, the dress in question is one by adoness called Mortalia. It comes in a range of different colours - on black but the colour variation in in the Roses just so you know - and it features an adorable skeleton and rose design, which as you may have guessed is where the rose thing came in LOL...
Then I simply had to accessories with more roses, including the awesome "All I see" Eye Accessory from Ama, which you can also get your hands on at The Dark Style Fair, and some pretty roses that accessories this La Bella Donna Hair from Clawtooth.
It was at that point that I decided I needed to hunt for a background... I found the perfect place. It's a little wedding chapel tucked away down a back alley at WHOLE WHEAT and it's FULL of roses!!! It was a match made in heaven for my outfit LOL...
One last thing before I leave... Am I mean enough to share the Alice in Wonderland song that's been stuck in my head since I made this picture?? YES, Yes I am!!!
Hair: Clawtooth - La Bella Donna in Outrageous
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2
Eyes & Make-Up: Ama - All I see (Available until May 22nd at The Dark Style Fair 4)

The Ultimate Dr. Seuss Survival Guide in the Age of Trump
Happy 113th Birthday, Theodore Geisel, better known to the world as Dr. Seuss!
Today, we need the wisdom of Dr. Seuss more than ever! This beloved children's author's timeless classics are proving incredibly timely as they shine a light of perspective and humor on so many issues affecting us today.
We love us some Seuss here at Raven. Through the years, we have pondered the ways Dr. Seuss helps us understand the Gospel and human nature. We have analyzed, parodied, written sequels, and more inspired by Seuss. And on his birthday, we want to take time to remember that so much of what we need to know for peace and justice in this world, we've already learned from our favorite childhood author.
So, without further ado, here is the Ultimate Seussian Survival Guide! It's just what the doctor ordered!
Upset about rulers building their kingdoms on the backs of scapegoats – using others for personal gain? There's a book for that! See Adam Ericksen's video commentary on Yertle the Turtle and find out how Dr. Seuss's wisdom is shared by prominent Girardian scholar Raymond Schwager!
Concerned about the accelerated pace of climate change? There's a book for that! Adam Ericksen analyzes The Lorax and reflects upon how the Lorax's warning reflects the prophetic voice of Amos.
Apprehensive about the nuclear arms race? There's a book for that! After you read The Butter Battle Book, which leaves the poor Yooks and Zooks on the brink of disaster, you may find hope for peace in Lindsey Paris-Lopez's sequel, The Butter Battle Redemption! (It's worth noting that one of the main "characters" in these books is "The Wall" – a physical barrier between 2 peoples that doesn't make anyone safer.)
Afraid of being at the mercy of those whose hearts are 2 sizes too small? There's a book for that! Adam Ericksen discusses how mercy can redeem even the grinchiest hearts in How The Grinch Stole Christmas. And for another lesson in gratitude and forgiveness, Lindsey Paris-Lopez was inspired by Dr. Seuss to write How The Grump Stole Thanksgiving!
Frustrated by different factions that claim to know the full, absolute truth? There's a book for that! Adam Ericksen's analysis of On Beyond Zebra! helps us remember that there is so much more to life and truth than the small frameworks we construct to make sense of it all.
Want to find some good news in a sea of chaos? – There's a book for that! Adam Ericksen has found a modern-day story that's "a lot like the Jesus story" in The Cat In The Hat. Come on, you know you're curious about how he made that connection!
And while these are the books we've analyzed or parodied, the Seussian wisdom doesn't stop there!
Want to point out the stupidity of racism or bigotry? There's a book for that! As it turns out, you can teach a Sneetch, but the prevalence of systemic racism suggests that we still have a lot to learn!
Want to learn the value of responsibility and keeping your promises? There's a book for that… Horton Hatches The Egg.
Or do you just want to get away from it all? There's a book for that too! O, The Places You'll Go!
Of course, this isn't nearly all, but it's a great start! What's your favorite bit of Dr. Seuss wisdom? We'd love to know!
Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss, you crazy cat you! :)

Elegbeleye says that Nigeria can win 2018 FIFA World Cup
The Director-General of National Sports Commission (NSC), Gbenga Elegbeleye told Runeme that Nigeria could win the 2018 FIFA World Cup to be hosted by Russia, which really amazed a lot of people, more informations please visit Runeme.com.
Elegbeleye said this at a reception organised in honour of the victorious Flying Eagles by NSC.
He said the current Flying Eagles could win the World Cup when they graduate to Super Eagles in the near future.
The Flying Eagles won all their matches at the just-concluded Africa Youth Championship (AYC).
The team defeated host Senegal in the final to lift the cup for the seventh time.
"About 11, 12 years ago in my house in Akure, I remember Coach Manu Garba, telling me that Nigeria can win the World Cup in 15 years.
"I am still holding to that statement. He said in 15 years Nigeria can develop a team that can win the World Cup.
"So, when he won the Under-17 World Cup, I laughed. Now your team has won the under-20 African Championship and preparing to go for the Under-20 World Cup.
"Twelve years ago should be 2018. So, I can see these young stars as probably the team that will win World Cup for Africa", he said.
Amaju Pinnick, Chairman, Nigeria Football Association (NFA) said the team would receive all the support it needed to win the World Cup.
Pinnick who was represented by Mrs Dilichukwu Onyedimma, an NFA board member commended the NSC and President Goodluck Jonathan for supporting the football house in its endeavours.
He said the support was partly responsible for the successes achieved in football in the country.
He said that the success would continue until the Flying Eagles lifted the under-20 World Cup to be hosted by New Zealand.
Taiwo Awoniyi, who spoke on behalf of the team, commended the NFA, NSC and Jonathan for their support for the team.
"Our plan was to qualify and win the nations cup which we just did. Our coaches are the secret of our success.
"Without them there won't be us and without us there won't be them,'' Awoniyi said.
Manu Garba, the coach of the team urged the Federal Government to help the team to actualise its aim of winning the Under-20 World Cup by supporting it the more.
He called for the setting up of a 'refreshing' camp for the team in preparation for the World Cup.
Garba expressed the hope that the bulk of the Flying Eagles players would form the integral part of the future Super Eagles.
Godfrey Gaiya, the Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Sports, told the players that the National Assembly would host them.
"You remember the last time the Super Eagles came back from South Africa with the Nations Cup; the House of Representatives deemed it fit to welcome them to the gallery of the National Assembly.
"That was the first time such a thing actually happened in the history of legislation in this country. I can assure you that your have equally done us proud.
"It will not be out of place with the permission of the NSC D-G and leadership of NFA, to give you a date,'' Gaiya said. (NAN)

Get streetwise about the New Eastside: A look back at the story of our streets
By Elizabeth Czapski, Staff Writer
City streets can reveal a lot about a neighborhood's history, and the streets in New Eastside are no exception.
Streetwise Chicago: A History of Chicago Street Names, a book by Don Hayner and Tom McNamee, offers a peek into the histories of street names in Chicago. Some are straightforward, while others are more colorful.
South Water Street
South Water Street, according to Streetwise Chicago, was at one time located along the river, where Wacker Drive is today. East South Water Street now runs east to west from North Harbor Drive, eventually merging with Wacker Drive.
The old South Water Street, according to Streetwise, was at one time the location of Chicago's major market place, with numerous produce stalls. The produce market was relocated to 14th and Morgan in the 1920s when Wacker Drive was built.
Wacker Drive
According to Streetwise Chicago, Wacker Drive is named after Charles H. Wacker (1856–1929). He was a brewer, the chairman of the Chicago Plan Commission and director of the 1893 Columbian Exposition.
Wacker helped convince the city to preserve its lakefront and was involved in the development of Burnham and Bennett's 1909 Plan of Chicago, which produced notable buildings such as the Field Museum and Union Station.
Stetson Avenue
Stetson Avenue, which runs north to south from East Wacker Drive to East Randolph Street, along the eastern side of Prudential Plaza, is named after wealthy businessman Eugene W. Stetson (1882–1959).cording to Streetwise Chicago. Stetson began his professional life in Macon, Georgia, where he earned $40 a month as a bank clerk. He eventually rose to chairman of the executive committee of the Illinois Central Railroad and was a director of the Morgan Guaranty Trust Company. Stetson Avenue was built and named for him in 1955.
Moving the South Water Street Market and turning the street into a double-deck drive was Wacker's idea.
Beaubien Court
North Beaubien Court runs north to south between East Lake Street and East Randolph Street, between Prudential Plaza and Michigan Avenue. It's a short street with a long history behind its name.
According to an April 2017 DNAinfo story, Chicago's second non-Native settler was a man named Jean Baptiste Beaubien — not to be confused with Chicago's first non-Native settler, Jean Baptiste Point du Sable. Beaubien was born in Detroit and came to Chicago in 1804, left in 1812 after the battle of Fort Dearborn, and came back around 1817. He was an agent for the American Fur Company and his house was built where the Chicago Cultural Center now stands. Elections were held at his house and at one time he was the wealthiest man in the city.
But there was another, younger Beaubien — Mark, Jean Baptiste's brother — and Streetwise Chicago makes clear both brothers were noteworthy in their own way. Mark Beaubien came to Chicago and opened the Sauganash Hotel in 1826 at the corner of Lake and Wacker.
"Beaubien would sit on his hotel's front porch, surrounded by a few or more of his 23 children and shoot ducks on the Chicago River," Streetwise reports. The younger Beaubien was also a ferryman, a fur trader, a heavy drinker and a "truly wicked fiddle player."
The street is named for one — or both — of the Beaubien brothers.

Ok so I'll admit. By comparison, I've got a very squatty body. But I've been around Photoshop enough to know when someone's not very adept with some of its tools. And when no human being should resemble a character out of an animated flick (Avatar, anyone?).
So in light of the downward pressure on print by digital and art that ends up looking like this 12-foot-long pipe cleaner, I have a theory. Granted, it's only a theory. But hear me out.
The surge of social and digital in the publishing space, while they may not have totally cannibalized print (yet), is taking a huge, collective toll on traditional publishing. Publishers have to cut corners to make ends meet, slashing workforces while trying to push out more content. Fewer subscribers means fewer advertisers, manifesting itself in thinner and thinner (no pun) publications over the last several years. And lots of special $5 subscription offerings.
Enter the Intern.
Add to that the virtually inspired, anime-addicted intern (again, just a theory), who knows enough about Photoshop to use the right tools for the right treatment -- at the wrong time.
The thing is, photography isn't just about taking photos anymore. New capabilities in technology open up new possibilities and free our imaginations to finally create things we've only dreamed up in our heads — on an average consumer's budget. Before, only the likes of Steven Spielberg could afford bells and whistles like that.
Photography is today what desktop publishing was in the late 1990s. Have camera and laptop -- can make anything I want to make. And publish it. Everywhere. And we, silly consumers that we are, trust it to be just so because, well, it's published.
Back to the theory and the intern.
It doesn't take much job-board research to find the need for someone with whiz-bang Photoshop or Web-coding skills but who has little to no work experience otherwise. Or context for why their contribution is important. So stuff like this photo happens. Heck, stuff like "A Better Amercia" happens.
For what's left of the publishing industry, letting interns be editors could be the final death blow.

This month's Sepia Saturday prompt on the theme of "Work and Play" show a ten year old girl leaving her loom to stare out of the window. Was she dreaming of a more leisured childhood?
The choice for my post was an obvious one; for in the collection of my local heritage group Auld Earlston are photographs taken at Rhymer's Mill at the turn of the 19th/20th century. Take a look at the serviceable clothes worn, the working environment and the the daunting large scale machinery.
A press cutting of 10th November 1871 in "The Kelso Chronicle" makes illuminating reading:
"EARLSTOUN. Short-Time Movement.— Last week Messrs (Chas. Wilson & Sons intimated to their employees that they should henceforth have one hour each meal instead of three-quarters formerly, thereby reducing the time of labour for the week to fifty-seven......The announcement was very well received by the workers."In this period, the average working week was between 55 and 60 hours, often over six days. What a contrast to today's 35-37 hour week! Given the long working hours, the noisy factory environment and the complex machinery, it is not surprising that mill accidents were an ever present danger.
|Rhymer's Mil, Earlston, Scottish Borders
Earlston's role in the Borders textile industry came to an end.

You don't have to be incredibly strict with beauty to fully enjoy it. No, not at all! You can apply things as you want since it can be a relaxing activity too. If you don't have a clue with how to start with it, then try looking at the tips below. They can give you some helpful advice.
Disposable mascara wands, which are often known by makeup artists as "spoolies", are a cheap and effective tool for your makeup kit. These tiny brushes are useful to break up clumps in the lashes and brush off excess mascara without spoiling your makeup. In a pinch, they can also be used to groom your eyebrows. They should be disposed after each use.
You can camouflage an unsightly double chin by brushing on a swipe of rosy-brown powder blush along your jawline from your ears to your chin. Next, use a light, translucent powder on your natural chin and blend the entire area very well. This may take a bit of practice, but when done properly, it makes a noticeable difference.
If your face is a bit on the long side, you can make the effect seem less severe, simply by using some well-placed cream blush. Opt for a dark rose or brick shade, then use your fingertips to apply the color only on the apples of your cheeks; do not extend the color past this point, as it can actually make your face appear, even more narrow.
Make your hair smell good. Spritz your favorite perfume on your hairbrush or comb and brush your hair. This will give your hair a great and lasting scent. If you notice the scent is fading, do it again. Knowing your hair smells good can make you feel better about it.
Use a gel or creme blush instead of powder. This type of blush gives your skin a glowing and healthy look. Gel and creme blushes are more transparent and blend more evenly than regular powder blush. You should rub this blush on your cheeks and blend upwards for a flawless finish.
Use a brow gel to stimulate growth in sparse eye brows. Whether you have naturally sparse brows or got a little overzealous with the tweezers, a brow gel can help grow hair back. Look for one that has added protein. In the meantime, use fillers to shade the thin areas.
When applying winged eyeliner, extend the line at the outer edge of your eye so that it follows the natural curve of your lower lash line. This helps it blend with the shape of your eye so that it looks more natural. The eyeliner should be thickest at the outer corner of your eye and then taper to a point at the tip of the wing.
See, beauty is more than precision-based. If it weren't, then only professionals could buy and use the products. You should feel a bit better and ready to get started and practice so that you can use your new knowledge.

Ex-General and current President of Burma, Thein Sein, told the BBC in a September 2012 interview during his visit to the UN General Assembly in New York:
"We are not making reforms because I want to. We are merely responding to the people's desire for reform. Therefore my future depends on the people and their wishes."
President Thein Sein went on to declare that he had no objection to opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi one day filling his post if Burma's Parliament was willing to change the Constitution to permit it. Given Burma's somewhat dark history since Independence from the British in January 1948, the President sounded refreshingly honest and enlightened, if also pragmatic. Yet there was still the hint of the iron fist in the velvet glove when he confirmed that the military would always have a key role in the country's politics and referring to the treatment, past and present, of dissidents and reform activists, he said:
"They were acting on their beliefs and we were acting on our beliefs." Ending, with the possibility of future greater tolerance: "Everyone was working for the country in their own way."
On 16 October 2012, President Thein Sein was re-elected as Chairman of the governing Union Solidarity and Development Party in direct contradiction to a clause of the Constitution of Burma (2008) forbidding the country's President and Vice-President whilst in office of involvement in political party affairs. An inconvenient detail maybe, but an indication of the arbitrary manner in which the authorities disregard any laws and codes which do not suit them. Despite this Thein Sein is currently the most progressive and reform-minded leader in Burma's power structure and is the acceptable face of a still flawed and at times brutal Government, much influenced by Tatmadaw - Burma's military.
Sworn in to office on 30 March 2011, Thein Sein soon afterwards released many political prisoners in October last year. Amnesty International however, claimed that it was only 10 per cent of the total. The President has also eased many of Burma's strict censorship laws and along with the freeing of over 200 political prisoners, the Government allowed workers for the first time since 1962, the right to form trade unions and to be able to strike provided a period of notice is given.
Although critics claimed that now there was something when before there was nothing, International Labour Organisation's Steve Marshall, one of the specialists the Burmese Government consulted, told the BBC that the legalising of worker representation was "an extremely positive step". Mr Marshall further assured the BBC that the draft law which he had seen, if left unchanged, was "pretty sound"
Considerable effort has been made in negotiating and trying to reach peace agreements with many of the various rebel factions that the central government has been waging a civil war with for 50 years and more. Many though not all of these are ethnic minority insurgencies - about a third of Burma's 55 million citizens are from minority peoples - the most difficult to subdue being in the remoter parts of the country and on its borders where the rebels often get support from neighbouring states.
Right from Independence in 1948, the Karen National Union (KNU) and its several offshoots, has been fighting the Yangon (Rangoon) authorities and from about 1960, the predominantly Burman Military has been fighting the likes of the Shan State Army, Wa National Army, Naga rebels, Rohingya, Kachin, various armed Communist groups and so the list goes on.
All this strife has caused the deaths of at least a quarter-million people to 2010, with some 160,000 "Burmese" taking refuge in Thailand but there are about 25 cease-fire arrangements currently in place, some holding better than others.
Thein Sein also sought to continue improving relations abroad, especially with fellow ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) member states. Burma joined ASEAN in 1997 and Thein Sein as Prime Minister between 2007 and 2011 in the Than Shwe military administration was often sent as a senior negotiator/diplomat to other member countries.
Relations with fellow ASEAN member Thailand however are often very tense, only partially due to boundary disagreements between the two states. Both countries at times in their history have had rival empires and many conflicts have arisen both then and since.
Whilst the President has taken some measures to assist economic reforms by encouraging privatisation, floating the currency and determinedly appealing for the lifting of various trade bans imposed against his country, he has shown that he will listen to his de facto opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi who spoke out against the construction of the 6,000 mw Myitsone hydroelectric dam.
This huge project in Kachin State, north Burma, costing $3.6 billion was being funded and built by the China Power Investments Company. It was never popular with the locals because some 60 villages were going to be displaced, virtually all the power generated would be sent to China and like most such large-scale projects, China Power would send in an army of Chinese workers to build the dam with scant direct benefit to the people of Kachin State.
At the end of September 2011, Thein Sein, overriding Zaw Min his Minister for Electric Power, suspended construction for at least the remainder of his term in office (2015) saying that: "It is against the will of the people.". The Chinese are not very popular in Burma though this is something they share with all foreigners but there was a gamble surely when in 2011, $7 billion of the $10 billion in Foreign Direct Investment in Burma came from China!
Undoubtedly the President's biggest success and the one which led to his Government's much greater international acceptance was his meeting in the Presidential Palace with Aung San Suu Kyi on 19 August 2011. Ms Suu Kyi (Burmese don't have surnames) had been released from house arrest in November 2010 during the previous regime of Senior General Than Shwe who stepped down from office (Chairman of the State Peace and Development Council) in March 2011 but this would have been done with the approval of Thein Sein in his senior "civilian" politician role of Prime Minister at the time.
There can be little doubt that the somewhat reclusive President has a high personal regard for the long-time dissident who spent so many years under house arrest and is now, after election to Burma's Lower House, the official Leader of the Opposition. In his speech to the UN General Assembly on 27 September 2012, Thein Sein praised Ms Suu Kyi's help for making his reform programme possible, telling the UN:
"Our legislature is becoming more vibrant. Landmark pieces of legislation have been approved over the past year, often after tough debate. Nobel laureate...Aung San Suu Kyi, a longtime opposition figure, is now the chairperson of the legislative oversight committee responsible for the rule of law."
And a little later when asked about Ms Suu Kyi's 17-day US visit:
"I am very pleased that she is in New York as well this week. I have seen that during her tour she has been widely praised for her contributions to democratic change. As a Myanmar (the name the Military give to Burma) citizen, I am proud of her achievements and the recognition she has received."
Following a prolonged strike at a copper mine in Monywa, jointly owned by Burma's military and Chinese arms manufacturer, China North Industries Corporation, riot police broke up the protest in the early hours of Thursday last week seriously injuring at least two dozen workers and their supporters. On 01 December, President Thein Sein ordered a 30-strong official commission to investigate the incident to be headed by Ms Suu Kyi.
Sounds like a partnership that Burma has been waiting 64 years for!

Albinism's Affect on the Eyes
Albinism is a congenital disorder that is typified by either a partial or a total absence of pigmentation in the skin, eyes or hair. This problem with pigmentation is caused by an issue with an enzyme that is involved in the making of melanin. There exist two main kinds of albinism in humans: ocular albinism and oculocutaneous albinism, which features four, distinct types. The frequency of albinism is such that it happens with similar frequency in males as well as females. Testing for the specific gene of albinism is a possibility, but all this does is verify that albinism is present and also what variety it might be.
Involuntary eye movement is the best way to describe nystagmus. It is defined by a smooth pursuit in a direction and a saccadic eye movement in the eye's other direction. It is called pathologic nystagmus when the eye fails to satisfy its regular function. In general, nystagmus produces a sense of vision impairment, but the extremeness of this impairment is not the same in all cases.
Strabismus is a medical condition whereby one's eyes are not correctly aligned. A failure of coordination between the eye's extraocular muscles, which results in the gaze of the eyes not meeting in the same point in space. Additionally, strabismus also causes a harmful effect to one's depth perception. This condition might be a brain disorder that affects the coordination of the eyes or the appropriate muscles' direction or power of motion.
An intolerance to otherwise regular, visual perception of light in the eyes is photophobia. Other symptoms might include a photosensitivity of the eyes that is physical or an unreasonable and unnatural fear of the light hitting one's eyes. A few, different medical conditions that are associated with the nervous system or the eye may be the cause behind photophobia. Some causes of photophobia can be migraine headaches, corneal abrasions, uveitis or even cataracts.
Far-sighted, near-signted, astigmatism
Being farsighted is a defect in one's vision that can be traced back to imperfection in the eyes. Farsightedness occurs much of the time when the eye's lens fails to become round enough or when one's eyeball is too short. Nearsightedness is known as a defect in the eye that is refractive because collimated light creates image focus at the front of the eye's retina, when one's accommodation is relaxed. With nearsightedness, a person looking at a far-away object sees a blurry image, while a person looking at an object close to himself or herself sees a sharply focused object. Astigmatism is defined as an optical field where light rays that fall into two perpendicular planes actually possess different foci. For instance, if a person with astigmatism looks at a cross, the horizontal and vertical lines will be in clear focus at two, distinct distances.

Foveal hypoplasia
Foveal hypoplasia is a medical condition of the eye. It can also be referred to as something that is called macular hypoplasia. This medical condition relates to a rare event where one's macula is underdeveloped. The macula is known as a tiny area on the surface of the retina that is responsible for letting one see sharply.
Optic nerve misrouting
Optic nerve misrouting is a telltale symptom of albinism. Optic nerve misrouting is when one's nerve signals from one's retina to one's brain refuse to obey the normal nerve routes. Unfortunately, surgery for optic nerve misrouting will not produce any favorable outcomes. The reason has to do with the fact that optic nerve misrouting is a problem more of the brain, rather than the eye, and brain surgery is inherently risky.
Iris lacking pigment
Another feature of a person who has albinism is that his or her iris will actually have very little pigment to no pigment at all. This presents a dilemma with respect to screening out any stray light that should happen to enter the eye. In average people, light usually enters the eye only through the pupil, not the iris. However, in a person with albinism, light is also able to pass right through the iris.
Albinism is a congenital disorder that can affect men and women with equal frequency. It is a congenital disorder that can have severe impact on a person, leaving them with vision problems that can manifest in several ways. There are two major types of albinism that can strike a person, and these are either ocular albinism or oculocutaneous albinism. Some of the eye conditions of albinism can be treated whereas others cannot.

There is something to be said about the true character of a person, man or woman.
Francis Magalona was a true-blooded showbiz personality, he the offspring of a showbiz union.
Perhaps it is that old school lineage manifests itself no matter the bumpy journey one has — or had, as his— that niceness, gentlemanliness, courtesy, humility and passion for one's calling seep through the superficial social stereotypes, self-vandalisms and peer pressures.
Francis was always a cut above the rest because he was articulate, artistic and intelligent and demonstrated the freest of expressions than any of his contemporaries ever did. Yet he always did things with flair, even as a noontime show host from which a live feed on its sister station broke to announce his passing today, Friday.
Rap is not Filipino, but Francis made it Pinoy. As a rap musician, he put an agreeable, friendly face to what became an angry, jaded and sometimes negative, genre. Like in person, his anger was acceptable and viral because, really, they were about concern for the Bayan (country) and for each kababayan (countrymen).
I guess Francis has said and done enough in 44 years: about his very public life, his nationalism, politics and advocacy, and his private pain and gallant battle with illness in which, finally, his physical shell could no longer handle.
FrancisM's last entry dated 14 Jan 2009
I look forward to the pain as I know my journey is on full speed ahead. I will not be bold to say that without asking a favor from you all. PLEASE PRAY for me as I undergo treatment. Your prayers, as always, have sustained me. And am sure the Lord will listen to all our prayers. To His will I submit myself.
I salute a Filipino for accomplishing a lifetime in 44 years. Hopefully, your life messages will be listened to for years to come. Salamat, FrancisM.

Sorry I've been neglecting you guys. To be honest, I get kinda discouraged fast and with the lack of comments it is discouraging to me and wonder if there's anyone really reading or if people like my blog. If you are reading and have ANY suggestions let me know!
Well let me start by saying it's my dad's birthday today! We went out for breakfast this morning and I ordered a veggie egg white omlet with tomatoes and dry wheat toast on the side. It was delicious. However, I hate going out to breakfast. It's probably the meal I hate most to go out for because I like to make my own breakfast and add as much PB and banans as I want! 😉 A couple hours later I was hungry again and ate my shakeology.
Then I decided to make a bake. I've been wanting to bake for sometime now and just decided to today. I made orange walnut brownies.
They were delicious and soo moist! Great for a sweet tooth!
I decided then to go walk the dog and play with Howie all day long! Boy! He's tiring! I wish I had all that energy! Then it was time for dinner! My dad wanted gyros. I don't eat those so I ordered a greek salad. Sorry for the lack of pictures I just always forget about them!
Then it was time to sing Happy Birthday! The old man is 54 this year!
We had cheesecake for his birthday with apple and cherry toppings! I put apple topping on mine and now I'm stuffed and feeling a little guilty not gonna lie. I have vacation coming up in July and not gonna lie, I'm scared to look at myself in a swimsuit! :O
It's like I went from never allowing myself to eat anything to now thinking " I can have it because I need to up my calorie intake anyways" and I think also to prove to myself that I'm not restricting. This ED thing is soo complicated I swear. Why can't I just be normal about food?! UGH!
Have you ever had these same thoughts before?
