Universal Design - Simple and Intuitive Perceptible Information Tolerance for Error Low Physical Effort Size and Space for Approach and Use These principles were compiled by Bettye Rose Connell, Mike Jones, Ron Mace, Jim Mueller, Abir Mullick, Elaine Ostroff, Jon Sanford, Ed Steinfeld, Molly Story, and Gregg Vanderheiden. The principles represent a superset of the interests of accessible design, which focuses on improving designs for the elderly and people with disabilities.

Dred Scott v. Sandford - Dred Scott v. Sandford Dred Scott v. Sanford - 60 US (19 How.) 393 (1857)* - also known as the Dred Scott Case, was a lawsuit decided in front of the Supreme Court of the United States in 1857, and considered by many to be a key cause of the American Civil War and the later ratification of the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth amendments leading to the abolition of slavery. The decision for the court was written by Chief Justice Roger Taney. This exists in the official Supreme Court records as Dred Scott v. John F.A. Sandford, due to a spelling error of a Supreme Court reporter; the actual name of the person being sued was simply "John F. Sandford". Dred Scott was a slave who was taken to free territory.

Korean Buddhism - Gyeyul (Skt. Vinaya) school, which focused on study and implementation of moral discipline (śīla), also initially popular in Baekje; and the Yeolban (Skt. Nirvāna) school, which was based in the themes of the Mahāparinirvāna-sūtra, and initially popular in Silla. Toward the end of the three kingdoms period, the Weonyung (Ch. Yuanrong;) school, which focused on the actualization of the metaphysics of interpenetration as found in the Huayan jing, would outstrip most of the other schools as a field of academic study, becoming especially popular with the educated aristocracy. This school, later known in Korea as Hwaeom (Ch. Huayan), would end up becoming the most long-lived of the Chinese imported schools, having strong affinities with the indigenous Korean school of Buddhist thought, called Beopseong (discussed below). During the latter Three Kingdoms Period,.
Jules Simon - the extreme left he was distrusted for his moderate views, and Gambetta never forgave his victory at Bordeaux. In 1875 he became a member of the Académie française and a life senator, and in 1876, on the resignation of Jules Dufaure, was summoned to form a cabinet. He replaced anti-republican functionaries in the civil service by republicans, and held his own until May 3, 1877, when he adopted a motion carried by a large majority in the Chamber inviting the cabinet to use all means for the repression of clerical agitation. His clerical enemies then induced Marshal MacMahon to take advantage of a vote on the press law carried in Jules Simon's absence from the Chamber to write him a letter regretting that he no longer preserved his influence in the.
Victor Cousin - cherished collection of a lifetime. He died at Cannes on the 13th of January 1867, in his sixty-fifth year. In the front of the Sorbonne, below the lecture rooms of the faculty of letters, a tablet records an extract from his will, in which he bequeaths his noble and cherished library to the halls of his professorial work and triumphs. Philosophy There are three distinctive points in Cousin's philosophy. These are his method, the results of his method, and the application of the method and its results to history,--especially to the history of philosophy. It is usual to speak of his philosophy as eclecticism. It is eclectic only in a secondary and subordinate sense. All eclecticism that is not self-condemned and inoperative implies a system of doctrine as its basis,--in fact,.

The monarchy ended when Lili'uokalani was deposed by a republican revolution led by Sanford Dole in 1893 as part of a struggle over the future of the islands.

The treaty was signed by American ministers..
Hippolyte Taine - bear it no longer, and he applied for leave, which was readily granted him on October 9 1852, and renewed every year till his decennial appointment came to an end. It was in this painful year, during which Taine worked harder than ever, that the fellowship of philosophy was abolished. As soon as Taine heard of this he at once began to prepare himself for the fellowship in letters, and to work hard at Latin and Greek themes. On April 10 1852 a decree was published by which three years of preliminary study were necessary before a candidate could compete for the fellowship, but by which a doctor's degree in letters counted as two years. Taine immediately set to work at his dissertations for the doctor's degree; on June 8 (1852).
History of United States imperialism - 1846-1848 is often viewed as motivated by American imperialism. In 1846, the President of the United States, James Polk, sent soldiers to the disputed zone between Mexico and the newly annexed Republic of Texas in what most historians describe as a provocation for war. American forces quickly defeated those of Mexico, and at the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, Mexico was forced to cede what is now almost the entire Southwest and California to the United States for only $15 million. A faction called the Continental Democrats had advocated annexing all of Mexico. At the time, the war was denounced in the North both as imperialism and also as a pro-slavery conspiracy to add more slave territory to the United States. Today, there is some question over the nature of the Mexican-American.

François Guizot - for he was throughout the master-spirit of that government. his first object was to unite and discipline the conservative party, which had been broken up by previous dissensions and ministerial changes. In this he entirely succeeded by his courage and eloquence as a parliamentary leader, and by the use of all those means of influence which France too liberally supplies to a dominant minister. No one ever doubted the purity and disinterestedness of Guizot's own conduct. He despised money; he lived and died poor; and though he encouraged the fever of money-getting in the French nation, his own habits retained their primitive simplicity. But he did not disdain to use in others the baser passions from which he was himself free. Some of his instruments were mean; he employed them to.
