It's a common enough misconception: In a family history video you include video. Just video. Well, a good family history video should have interview footage of family members. Also, if you are lucky enough to have old family movies, they should certainly go in (home movies started as long ago as the 1930s believe it or not - with Kodak's 8mm "safety film"). And, if you know your way around the National Archives, then you may have found some historical video that supports the family story or illustrates the events that family members lived through (e.g. the Depression). So, sure. Video. But if you think that you are done once you have the video nailed then you are leaving the job half[..]

You adorn your body with jewelry and your house with accessories, but what about your poor dining table? Doesn't it deserve some of that decoration too? Sure, you've got a wide array of china plates and crystal glasses, but you won't really be able to show off their attributes without the complementary flatware. Typically, flatware comes in three main categories: traditional, ornate and contemporary. You'll need to determine which category your china and crystal fall into before you go shopping for appropriate flatware. Your best bet is to stay within a particular style. If you've got ornate china then choose an ornate flatware set. It can work in rare cases but usually mixing styles[..]

Leave The Rat Race and Create Your Own...
How often have you said "I'd like to leave the rat race" or heard someone else say it? But what exactly is the rat race and how do you leave it? A search on Google will give you the following definitions: "an endless, self-defeating or pointless pursuit." "an exhausting routine that leaves no time for relaxation" "strenuous, wearisome, and usually competitive activity or rush" Does this sound like your job? If so, you could be caught up in a vicious cycle that gives you little freedom to enjoy your life or hope for future financial freedom.

When we went to school, we were told that if we worked hard and got excellent qualifications we could get a good job and be successful. But, what exactly is meant by success? If it means being in a job you don’t really like and hoping your pension will give you some freedom and comfort in your retirement, then perhaps the schools were right. There are some people who are very happy in their jobs or careers, and that is perfect. That’s success. But I believe the vast majority are not. Some people define success by the amount of money they make, or hope to make. That’s fine, as long as they are happy and fulfilled at the same time or even while they are pursuing the money. But[..]
Self Education is the Key to Making Our Dreams...
"Formal education will make you a living but self education will make you a fortune." This was said by Jim Rohn, one of the top 50 motivational speakers in personal development and one of the trainers at the top online personal development site, Success University. Formal education is never easy. When I was at school I wasn't really that bothered about whether I got an A in Maths or History. I was too worried about whether people liked me or not, where I could get the latest Rod Stewart photos or whether my skirt was the trendiest length. Yet, education seems to happen despite the student. We come out with our varied grades and reports of "Could do better" (in my case), but somehow we[..]

Who Can Write a Book? Is there a book inside you? 81 percent of Americans say yes. With so many people having the desire to see their story in print, why does only a small percentage pick up the pen and write?

Every person on the planet is important. But you knew that already. As a species we live and prosper by the accumulated knowledge of our times and of those that have gone before. We know what happened to earlier people for they wrote it down, or someone else did, on their behalf, or over their objections.

Lwiindi means 'thanksgiving of the harvests'. Zambia experiences a long dry season from April through to October and by the end of the dry season the land is parched, rivers and lakes are drying up and people and animals must travel long distances for water.

Joseph Brant - Unknown American Hero
In the essay entitled, Joseph Brant Compares Indian and White Civilizations, 1789, Mr.Brant describes his feelings of disgust for White civilization and why he had those feelings. The essay seems be the answer to a question that asked him to compare the civilizations of Indians and Whites. He discusses how his life changed when he was sent to live amongst Whites to be educated when he was an adolescent. Although his people were thought of as savages, he never lost pride in his culture and came to view the White world with contempt. He states, "We do not hunger and thirst after those superfluities of life, that are theruin of thousands of families among you. Our ornaments, in general, are[..]

This 1st day is for welcoming all the gods of both heaven and earth. The 2nd day is believed to be the birthday of all dogs, so the dogs get extra food and kindness to celebrate. Ancestors are also prayed to on the 2nd day. On the 3rd and 4th day, sons-in-law are expected to pay special respect to their parents-in-law, while on the 5th day - called Po Woo - all must stay home to welcome the god of wealth. Visiting friends on Po Woo will bring bad luck. On the 6th to 10th days it is important to visit friends and[..]
The History of Africa and the Transatlantic...
It's an unfortunate fact that a major part of African history concerns the slave trade era, when African slaves were taken from their homes to be slaves in other parts of the world. The transatlantic slave trade era in African history began when European empires began to flourish in the New World but needed a workforce. African slaves were brought over to do the work, and were found to be "excellent workers" -- they had knowledge of cattle management and with agriculture, and they were used to working in tropical climates. So, beginning around the 15th century, people were captured from Africa and then brought to the New World to work in mines or on plantations. It might surprise you to[..]

Osman Ali Khan Asaf Jah VII was the last Nizam of the princely state of Hyderabad who ruled Hyderabad from 1911 to 1948. Hyderabad under his rule witnessed many cultural, economic and administrative reforms.

In the 16th Century, the Aztecs were pretty much running the show in central Mesoamerica, but two hundred years before, their fathers and mothers were warlike barbarian hunter-gatherers from around Arizona who eventually migrated all the way to the high plateau that today is the Federal District, Mexico City. At first, the men took service as muscle for the established local houses and interests. Eventually, Aztec muscle was deciding the important issues, and they took over. The reign of the Aztecs had only begun when the white sails of the Spanish ships' arrived in the blue waters off the Gulf Coast. The Spaniard, Hernan Cortez with his band of dirty adventurers marched into the[..]
A History of Myles Keogh in Ireland, Italy and...
Myles Walter Keogh was born on March 25, 1840, at Orchard House, Leighlinbridge, County Carlow, Ireland. Myles and his twelve siblings were reared in comfortable if not wealthy circumstances, and had he chosen to live the life of a gentleman farmer he could probably have done so. His maternal aunt Mary Blanchfield ultimately willed Myles the family estate in Kilkenny known as Clifden Castle. But while Myles' favourite brother, Tom, was content to follow a staid course through life, there was something in the makeup of the tall, slender blue-eyed youth that craved adventure. His career would in many respects epitomize the peripatetic wanderings of the "Wild Geese" who sought glory on[..]
Prenatal care has an ancient history, a knowledge that hardly has been appreciated or recognized in our culture. The common practice of prenatal care is impacted by the socioeconomic and cultural factors governing each family. We have to consider proper care for those women who do not have family support. We can not ignore a pregnant woman, why? Remember how we see a pregnant woman in our culture. Mothers considered being two people, one need to nurture the other all the time. We Iranian do talk about viar or craving for certain type of food. There are many narratives in relation to accommodation of the food that a pregnant woman craves. Lack of that provision believes to be a sin. We[..]
Slavery Reimbursement and Restitution For All...
Perhaps you have heard the great debate in the news media about the possible reimbursement and restitution for all African-Americans who have ancestors who were slaves. After some 15 generations this turns out to be quite a large number of people, in fact it is over 40 million. If the United States government were forced to get of let's say $75,000 to over 40 million people it would actually bankrupt our country, not that Social Security won't do that same thing in the near future anyway, but nevertheless it would bankrupt the nation. Additionally, how can one group of people such as African Americans demand reimbursement and restitution when other nationalities were also exploited in[..]

African Tribal Art
One of the most common themes that are depicted in African art is that of a stranger, which signifies the premium that Africans place on the tribe to which they belong. Another way of depicting a tribe's unique set of beliefs is to depict them in masks, which have been used in traditional ceremonies that are associated with the spirits of ancestors, fertility and initiation ceremonies as well as rites of passage. These ceremonies strengthen the bonds within a tribe since they emphasize strength as they welcome more members and as they glorify the history of their ancestors. Different materials used Given that there are numerous tribes located in Africa, it can also be expected that there[..]
History of Mosaics
Being one of the most beautiful and oldest forms of art in the history of man, one couldn't help but wonder about how such art has evolved and survived through all these centuries. This type of ornamental arts where small tiles of stones and marbles are used to develop patterns and pictures appeared randomly in totally different cultures and locations. That is why; mosaics can't be rooted to a particular people or culture. However, there is a clear conformity among historians that this type of art came into life out from the orient. One of the primitive demonstrations that were discovered in the art of mosaics goes back to the oldest civilization in Mesopotamia, the Chaldeans, who date[..]
The Mystery of Easter Island
Easter Island was first contacted by the western world by Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen in 1722. It was named Easter Island because it was discovered on Easter. It is officially a territory of Chile, located in the South Pacific Ocean about 2000 miles from Chile's west coast. Easter Island is probably most famous for its 887 gigantic statues, called Moai. What is less known, but equally fascinating, is the rich cultural history and mythology of these islands. Archaeologists have long disputed when Easter Island was first inhabited by humans. Estimates range anywhere from 300 CE to 1200 CE, but the general consensus is somewhere between 700-1000 CE. These estimates are similar to the[..]

Language Diversity in US History
Historical accounts provide insight into possible reasons for particular attitudes toward language diversity in the United States. Researchers such as Heinz Kloss and Marc Schell paint a picture of polyglotism during U.S. history. From pre-Colonial times to the dawn of the Republic, there were fewer English speakers than is generally assumed. Among the inhabitants in the precolonial and colonial eras and at the birth of the United States were many speakers of German and of aboriginal and African languages. Outside of the colonies, there were also speakers of French and Spanish. Carol Schmid asserts that the founding fathers probably considered language an individual matter and did not[..]

The Mysterious Collapse of the Ancient Maya Empire
You may be surprised to learn that with all the recent discoveries being made concerning the achievements and spontaneous collapse of the Mayans, that there in fact was no Maya empire. Throughout the Classic Period (defined as the timeframe when the Mayans achieved their height 250BCE-900CE), the cities of the Maya lands were apparently independent city-states. Scholars compare the Maya cities to the city-states of ancient Greece: all used a common language, had the same religious beliefs and group of common assumptions, but all were strongly independent and often at a constant state of war with one another, but no one central state enforced rule over the others. To judge from surviving[..]

Hidden Viking History Vikings and the Glass...
The Glass Mountain Stories of glass mountains and sacred marriages are known throughout the world. They reach as far as Indonesia and Polynesia. The spread of these stories can be related to the explorations of the North Sea People (our ancestors) circa 1500 BC. There are many legends that are told along the coasts of the North Sea about a 'Glasberg' or 'Glastemplel' which sank beneath the waves. 'Glas' may be interpreted as meaning 'Amber.'

She was placed there by Odin. Siegfried rides up on his horse to free her.[..]
