Today I will be talking about Grigory Rasputin and how his life was filled with a lot of trouble and sexual relationships with different people. I will talk about many important facts that have a lot of interesting things about this Russian Revolution. Rasputin was a crazy man because he always had sexual relationships with women because he claimed that it would heal them and bring them to God. For this reason, women always wanted to be around Rasputin and adore him because they believe he had powers to heal. This is why the tsarina always came to Rasputin so he could heal her son who had haemophilia which is a disease that causes the blood to clot incorrectly and makes you lose a lot of blood from cuts and injuries. Rasputin was the only one
Edward Gein was born in August 27, 1906 in La Crosse. He is the son of a timid alcoholic father and a fanatically religious mother. Gein grew up alongside his older brother Henry, in a household ruled by his mother’s puritanical preaching about sins of lust and carnal desires. His father, George Philip Gein, died from a heart attack caused by alcoholism on April 1, 1940. After his father's death, Henry and Edward started to odd jobs in order to cover living expenses; Both considered handymen, however, Edward considered babysitting the most. On May 16, 1944, Edward and his brother were both burning away marsh vegetation on the property, but fire started to go out of control which drew the attention of the fire department. By the end of the day,

Edward Theodore Gein was born on August 27th in 1906 in the city of La Crosse, Wisconsin. Even at the beginning, it seems as though he had a troubled home life. Upon moving to a small farm outside Plainfield, his father was always working-whether it was as a carpenter and tanner, or at the farm. When he isn’t working however, he is drinking. As such, he is not around for the major family decisions, leaving them to Ed’s mother Augusta, whom was very religious. Ed’s father died in 1940. Four years later, his brother Henry died whilst battling fires. That left Ed and his mother. But sadly, that was shortly lived as his mother died from a stroke that same year. This caused doubts for Ed. He has considered multiple times to get transsexual surgery, but turned against it because he thought there were better ways of ‘turning female’. For this, among other odd personality traits, he became secluded, never talking to those in the community.
Although I have learned some things about Russia and the late 1800’s and early 1900’s this book taught me some new information. When Nicholas’s son was diagnosed with hemophilia ( a disease when the blood doesn’t clot properly) I noticed that they didn’t have a treatment or cure for it. Today, hemophilia still can’t be cured but, the treatments are: help from a specialist, medications, and supportive care. I think it is interesting how our medical world has developed from then to now. Another thing I found interesting was how during the late 1800’s how the government was controlled under the form of autocracy, when one person ( the tsar in this case) holds all power. I couldn’t imagine living under the rules of someone having no power, unlike
Eustacia Cutler, Temple Grandin's mother has an interview at {https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULc1c206JM4} and she discusses the problems Temple faced as a young child and discusses Temples love of the livestock, the field she has devoted her life to, to making humane conditions in slaughterhouses, how she has shown that keeping the animals calm, produces more tender meat. She has also worked to make the working conditions in these facilities safer for the
One day Alfred Rascon saw some soldiers near his California home as they were practicing jumping from planes with parachutes. The seven-year-old boy wanted to be like them so he made his own parachute out of a sheet. Alfred climbed onto the roof of his house and jumped, but of course, his “chute” didn’t work. The fall broke his wrist, but it didn’t kill his spirit. Alfred was born in Mexico and when he was a young boy, his family moved to the United States where his parents worked on farms near Los Angeles. Although Alfred Rascon was not a citizen, he fell in love with his new country. Due to no funding for college, Alfred hoped to join the Army after he graduated from high school. Because Alfred was only 17 years-old at the time, he needed
Throughout the 20th century many books have been written about the fall of the Romanov Empire in Russia. It was a dynasty that had been in power for over three hundred year and ends with the last Romanov family being murdered. Tsar Nicholas and his family have been made famous through the many movies and books that tell of their tragedy. Over the past 80 years the Romanov story has become legend, like a fairy tale; but in this fairy tale one man stands out. This man, Rasputin, although he was not royalty, was close to the family and had a hand in its downfall.
An additional influence on Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird is mob mentality. Mob mentality is the reasoning behind why people join large groups with one common goal, also known as a mob (Smith). A mob is a huge group of people who assemble after an act of unfairness and who feel invisible due to the enormous amount of members (Edmonds). Often mobs are used in a negative way and produce harm to others (Smith). The majority of people who partake in a mob are doing so out of the peer pressure and sense of belonging to a large group (Smith). Furthermore, those who join the group are mainly joining while not thinking straight (Edmonds). People tend to do what others around them are doing, therefore a numerous amount of people do not even think
As Whistler applied copious paint to the Spanish leather he disregarded his instructions. On December 17, 1893, his perplexed friend the painter Paul Gaugin arrived. His sanguine countenance had its inevitable effect on the others.
When we think of people that we want to be like, our most common answer would probably vary from a close member of our family, like our parents or grandparents to a famous celebrity. However, it could be someone who is well known but not quite a full-scale celebrity. My case is similar with Temple Grandin. When I first watched the movie that was filmed about her life and struggles that she was able to overcome, I was amazed. Her story has made me want to keep pushing on for the things I want in life. In example, since I was very little I’ve always wanted to become a veterinarian, several times I’ve wanted to
He is just a good, religious, simple-minded Russian. –Tsar Nicholas II (Russian). Grigori Rasputin was that and more. Rasputin was a lot of different things to a lot of people. To the Tsarina Alexandra, Rasputin was a healer and a dear friend. To some of the nobles, he was a threat and should be killed. Despite having different opinions of Rasputin, everyone agreed that he could work miracles. The Czar’s son, Alexei, is proof of one these miracles. Besides preforming healing miracles, he also had influence in the court of the Tsar (Grigory). Rasputin
He openly claimed to know nothing about what current issues Russia was facing during that time and denied possible strides for political reform. These things caused certain individuals to dislike the new czar. Unlike the previous reigns the events that occurred were due to the actions of the masses, rather than the czar or his advisers did, as the underground revolution started beginning again. Other events that happened during Nicholas’ reign was a trampling that occurred during his coronation that led to the death of over 1000 people. Additionally, Russia lost two major wars: the Russo-Japanese War, and World War I; both of these wars resulted in terrible losses and deeply shook the country and the leadership of the country.
Among the greatest mysteries of Russian history is the influence of the Mad Monk Grigori Rasputin. During his time in court 1907-1916, Rasputin developed a complex relationship with the ruling Romanovs and leading ministers due to his mystical ability to treat the hemophilia of the sole heir to the throne, Tsarevich Alexei.
The earth seems is drying up in certain areas of the world at the moment. We have already seen some of the hottest summers on record in the last decade. Summer 2016 was the hottest summer on record since the records were started back in 1880 (Doyle, 2016). The effects of this heat have manifested themselves as drought in areas of the western United States. One of those areas happens to be our home of Southern California. Water resources have slowly declined and conservation has been the key tool to battle the decline. In an effort to find new ways of conserving or creating fresh water supplies, technology has been called upon. The need for technology that can help us meet our fresh water demands becomes more important every day. One of the technologies that has gotten a lot of attention recently is desalination. In fact a large scale desalination plant was just opened in Carlsbad, Ca. The facility is capable of delivering 50 million gallons per day (MGD) (Bienkowski, 2015). Despite this impressive achievement the plant still only accounts for 8% of the total water demand in San Diego County (CDP, 2016). In this paper I will explain the process of desalination, identify a promising new technology, and provide a comparison of technologies.
Marijuana legalization would allow for legal distribution and taxation of cannabis as well as decrease expensive enforcement and incarceration costs. Political authorities debate whether legalization or decriminalization is necessary. Derived from the hemp plant called Cannabis sativa, marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug in the United States (Glauser). Usually smoked in a blunt, joint, or pipe, the dry, shredded brownish-green mix of stems and leaves can be mixed in food, or brewed into a tea. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannibinol (THC) is the main active chemical that rapidly passes from the lungs into the bloodstream when someone inhales marijuana. Once the THC reaches the brain, the chemical reactions lead to the “high” that users experience when they use marijuana. Only lasting a few hours, these effects are short term. More realistic concerns question whether or not users will become addicted to cannabis. “Compared to other substances, marijuana is especially un-addictive; it’s often paired with drugs like alcohol, cocaine, and heroin, but when discussing addiction, a much more appropriate comparison would be to caffeine” (Glauser). As a non-addictive substance that can be therapeutic, reduce arrests, and boost the economy, marijuana should be legalized.
