Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) was the 16th President of the United States, serving from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. Lincoln led the United States through its Civil War—its bloodiest war and its greatest moral, constitutional, and political crisis.In doing so, he preserved the Union, abolished slavery, strengthened the federal government, and modernized the economy. Born in Hodgenville, Kentucky, Lincoln grew up on the western frontier in Kentucky and Indiana. Largely self-educated, he became a lawyer in Illinois, a Whig Party leader, and a member of the Illinois House of Representatives, where he served from 1834 to 1846. Elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1846, Lincoln promoted rapid modernization of the economy through banks, tariffs, and railroads. Because he had originally agreed not to run for a second term in Congress, and because his opposition to the Mexican–American War was unpopular among Illinois voter

At least 717 people have been killed in a stampede at the annual Hajj pilgrimage, Saudi Arabia's civil defence directorate said, as the death toll continued to rise. The directorate said at least 863 other pilgrims were injured in Thursday's stampede, which took place in Mina, on the outskirts of the holy city of Mecca. The injured have been evacuated to four different hospitals in the Mina region, according to a civil defence spokesman. Saudi Arabia's crown prince, Prince Mohamed bin Nayef, ordered a probe into how the tragedy had occured. Nayef, who chairs the Saudi hajj committee, ordered the probe during a meeting with senior officials responsible for the pilgrimage in Mina, where the stampede took place. The findings of the investigation will be submitted to King Salman, "who will take appropriate measures" in response, the Saudi Press agency said. Mina is where pilgrims carry out a symbolic stoning of the devil by throwing pebbles

William Wordsworth (7 April 1770 – 23 April 1850) was a major English Romantic poet who, with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, helped to launch the Romantic Age in English literature with their joint publication Lyrical Ballads (1798). Wordsworth's magnum opus is generally considered to be The Prelude, a semiautobiographical poem of his early years that he revised and expanded a number of times. It was posthumously titled and published, before which it was generally known as "the poem to Coleridge". Wordsworth was Britain's Poet Laureate from 1843 until his death in 1850. The year 1793 saw the first publication of poems by Wordsworth, in the collections An Evening Walk and Descriptive Sketches. In 1795 he received a legacy of 900 pounds from Raisley Calvert and became able to pursue a career as a poet. It was also in 1795 that he met Samuel Taylor Coleridge in Somerset. The two poets quickly developed a close friendship. In 1797 Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy mov

Hydroelectricity is the term referring to electricity generated by hydropower; the production of electrical power through the use of the gravitational force of falling or flowing water. It is the most widely used form of renewable energy, accounting for 16 percent of global electricity generation – 3,427 terawatt-hours of electricity production in 2010, and is expected to increase about 3.1% each year for the next 25 years. Hydropower is produced in 150 countries, with the Asia-Pacific region generating 32 percent of global hydropower in 2010. China is the largest hydroelectricity producer, with 721 terawatt-hours of production in 2010, representing around 17 percent of domestic electricity use. The cost of hydroelectricity is relatively low, making it a competitive source of renewable electricity. The average cost of electricity from a hydro station larger than 10 megawatts is 3 to 5 U.S. cents per kilowatt-hour. It is also a flexible source of electricity since the amount pro

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is the United States government agency responsible for the civilian space program as well as aeronautics and aerospace research. President Dwight D. Eisenhower established the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 1958 with a distinctly civilian (rather than military) orientation encouraging peaceful applications in space science. The National Aeronautics and Space Act was passed on July 29, 1958, disestablishing NASA's predecessor, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). The new agency became operational on October 1, 1958. Since that time, most US space exploration efforts have been led by NASA, including the Apollo moon-landing missions, the Skylab space station, and later the Space Shuttle. Currently, NASA is supporting the International Space Station and is overseeing the development of the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, the Space Launch System and Commercial Crew vehicles. The

Wildlife traditionally refers to non-domesticated animal species, but has come to include all plants, fungi, and other organisms that grow or live wild in an area without being introduced by humans. Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems. Deserts, forests, rain forests, plains, grasslands, and other areas including the most developed urban sites, all have distinct forms of wildlife. While the term in popular culture usually refers to animals that are untouched by human factors, most scientists agree that much wildlife is affected by human activities. Humans have historically tended to separate civilization from wildlife in a number of ways including the legal, social, and moral sense. Some animals, however, have adapted to suburban environments. This includes such animals as domesticated cats, dogs, mice, and gerbils. Religions have often declared certain animals to be sacred, and in modern times concern for the natural environment has provoked activists to protest the exploit

Football refers to a number of sports that involve, to varying degrees, kicking a ball with the foot to score a goal. Unqualified, the word football is understood to refer to whichever form of football is the most popular in the regional context in which the word appears: association football (known as soccer in some countries) in the United Kingdom; gridiron football (specifically American football or Canadian football) in the United States and Canada; Australian rules football or rugby league in different areas of Australia; Gaelic football in Ireland; and rugby football (specifically rugby union) in New Zealand. These different variations of football are known as football codes. Various forms of football can be identified in history, often as popular peasant games. Contemporary codes of football can be traced back to the codification of these games at English public schools in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The expanse of the British Empire allowed these rules of foo

At least 107 people have been killed after a crane toppled over at Mecca's Grand Mosque, less than two weeks before Islam's annual Hajj pilgrimage. In addition to the deaths, 238 people were wounded in Friday's disaster, according to Saudi Arabia's Civil Defence Authority. The Saudi Press Agency quoted a spokesperson for the two holy mosques as saying that the crane was brought down by strong wind and heavy rain. Pictures circulating on social media showed pilgrims in bloodied robes and debris from a part of the crane that appeared to have crashed through a ceiling.

The poet wishes to be awakened to a heaven where the mind can work fearlessly and the spirit can hold its head high,where one can acquire knowledge in all freedom of choice,where the big world of man is not fragmented on the bases of cast and creed,where everybody speaks his/her heart clear, where actions can achieve success,where the conventions are not judged and God himself leads us in all acts,all thoughts and all sources of delight. So we need a strong motivation by God to be elevated to that heaven. 

First Generation (1940-1956) Vacuum Tubes The first computers used vacuum tubes for circuitry and  magnetic drums  for  memory , and were often enormous, taking up entire rooms. They were very expensive to operate and in addition to using a great deal of electricity, generated a lot of heat.First generation computers relied on  machine language , the lowest-level programming language understood by computers, to perform operations, and they could only solve one problem at a time. Input was based on punched cards and paper tape, and output was displayed on printouts. The UNIVAC and  ENIAC  computers are examples of first-generation computing devices. The UNIVAC was the first commercial computer delivered to a business client, the U.S. Census Bureau in 1951. Second Generation (1956-1963) Transistors Transistors  replaced vacuum tubes and ushered in the second generation of computers.   Second-generation computers still relied on punched cards for input and  printouts for outpu

Yoga  is a  physical ,  mental , and  spiritual  practice or discipline which originated in  India .  Yoga gurus from India later introduced yoga to the west,  following the success of  Swami Vivekananda  in the late 19th and early 20th century.  In the 1980s, yoga became popular as a system of  physical exercise  across the Western world. Yoga in Indian traditions, however, is more than physical exercise, it has a meditative and spiritual core. In  Vedic Sanskrit , yoga (from the root  yuj ) means "to add", "to join", "to unite", or "to attach" in its most common literal sense. Over time, an extended yoga physiology developed, especially within the tantric tradition and hatha yoga. It pictures humans as composed of  three bodies  or  five sheaths  which cover the atman. The three bodies are described within the  Mandukya Upanishad , which adds a fourth state,  turiya , while the five sheaths (pancha-kosas) are described in the  Taittiriya U

We want revolution in the field of agriculture.We see that farmers use the harmful pesticides in the fields to get heavy profit.But they do not have knowledge of side effects of those pesticides on crops,environment and health.Pesticides destroy the fertility of soil and that is why we find that water is getting polluted in present time and it creates many diseases such as diarrhea,cancer other health problems.Humankind pollutes environment.Now its time to take initiatives if we want to save human life.Organic pesticides such as manures bio fertilizers can be used instead of these harmful chemicals use of organic pesticides.We can save our environment and our future generation.Government should step forward against dangerous pesticides and it should be banned by laws which destroy environment.If we will ignore this situation it will give disastrous results future period.So we have time.Government should give good price to those farmers who grow their crops without using dangerous chem

The  Statue of liberty  is a  colossal neoclassical sculpture  on  Liberty Island  in  New York Harbor  in  New York City , in the United States. The copper statue, designed by  Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi , a French sculptor, was built by  Gustave Eiffel  and dedicated on October 28, 1886. It was a gift to the United States from the people of France. The statue is of a robed female figure representing  Libertas , the  Roman goddess , who bears a torch and a tabula ansata  (a tablet evoking the law) upon which is inscribed the date of the American Declaration of Independence , July 4, 1776. A broken chain lies at her feet. The statue is an icon of freedom and of the United States, and was a welcoming sight to immigrants arriving from abroad. Bartholdi was inspired by French law professor and politician  Édouard René de Laboulaye , who is said to have commented in 1865 that any monument raised to American independence would properly be a joint project of the French and American
