Only amendment to be repealed; dealt with the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages.
An unintended consequence was that it led to an increase in the power of organized crime.
An outpouring of Black artistic and literary and music creativity, centered in New York neighborhood of Harlem.
It was a decade of increased consumer borrowing and spending and a decade in which there was a firm fear of foreigners and communism.
One reason was that it was costly and difficult to enforce; also it is hard to legislate morality.
Movement of thousands of African Americans from the South to the North following World War I; they went North for increased job opportunities. In the South, Southern Jim Crow laws denied many the opportunity for a job.
A trial in Tennessee, it was based on the idea of teaching evolution in schools. The trial illustrated how deep the divide was between religious rural conservatism and modern urban science.
Granted women suffrage (right to vote). Gave women true political equality--they could now help shape public policy.
Trail of 2 immigrant anarchists-found guilty.
Really illustrated America's fear of immigrants who had radical beliefs, such as in communism or anarchy.
Series of raids led by Attorny General Palmer--illustrated America's fear of communism following the Russian Revolution.
Those who supported Prohibition believed that alcohol led to serious health issues and domestic violence as well as crime in general.
Racial tension due to the Great Migration following WWI and the return of white soldiers from the War who wanted thier jobs back.
Ford's success in the Automotive industry was due to his integration of standard, identical parts and an assembly line.
Made the automobile affordable for many for the first time--was no longer a luxury.
Fear that communists were working to destroy the American way of life.
Started due to success of Communist Revolution in Russia.
This fear of communism prompted America to limit immigration to the US.
1920's economic increase was caused by an unregulated stock market and installment buying of stocks. Credit was plentiful and easy to obtain.
People basically went into debt.
Three parts: Relief, Recovery Reform.
First part of FDR's New Deal---was to provide temporary support to the unemployed. Gave money to feed the hungry, provided short term construction jobs.
Works Progress Administration (WPA)--provided short term construction jobs--EXAMPLE---Jackson Football Stadium, Jackson Chamber of Commerce building, Arena Park in Cape.
Second part of FDR's New Deal; was to provided long term solutions for ending Great Depression. Included long-term construction jobs, such as dams and lakes for hydroelectric power.
EXAMPLE: Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)--build dams on Tennessee River to provide rural areas electric power.
Third part of FDR's New Deal; it was to make policies to ensure that Depression never happened again.
EXAMPLE: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC): ensured bank deposits---prevented bank failures and people losing life savings.
WWI veterans and their families who marched on Washington D.C., in 1932 to demand the immediate payment of a bonus they had been promised for military service.
Prompted by large numbers of unemployment, the veterans thought their promised bonuses would help ease thier suffering.
Paying a small percentage of a stock's price as a down payment and borrowing the rest, with hopes of selling stocks for large profit to repay the balance.
Led to an over-valued Stock Market; a major cause of the Great Depression because it to led to finincial ruin for many individuals and banks who loaned the money.
Region including Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico that was made worthless for farming by drought and over-farming. High Winds picked up loose top-soil, causing dust storms during the 1930's.
People left area for better Economic opportunities were called "Okies" or "Exodusters"--most went to California, Washington or Oregon to become migrant farm workers.
Economic theory that government should not regulate business; An unregulated business would in turn help the nation prosper.
Constitutional check that Supreme Court used to rule several New Deal programs unconstitutional--said they were not fair for all Americans.
FDR, furious at having his policies overturned, tried to "pack" the Supreme Court by apointing more judges. This casued FDR to lose some support and credibility with American people.
Black Tuesday was the most devastating stock market crash in the history of the United States in October 1929.
The crash signaled the beginning of the 12-year Great Depression that affected all Western industrialized countries and that did not end in the United States until the onset of American mobilization for World War II at the end of 1941.
Why did Great Depression grow?
The US government continually rasied both taxes and interest rates. This prompted people to save money, rather than spend it to stimulate the economy.
Also, at first, many factories continued to produce products and increase production, rather than slow production.
The Depression overwhelmed private and state resources, causing people to turn to the federal government to protect their welfare.
It also created the beleif that the federal government should become more involved in the social and economic life of the people.
When faced with the stock market crash and the start of the Depression, Hoover supported encouraging voluntary reforms within private businesses and local charities.
Hoover felt it would insult the citizen to take a "hand-out" from the government.
During the 1920's, there were many instances of conflict bin the US between traditional values and new, more modern beliefs.
EXAMPLES: Prohibition, Scopes Trial, Sacco and Vanzeti trial, Flappers.

Angered by Netanyahu's Public Denial UAE Scraps Meeting over F-35 Arms Deal
By @aronfraiman08/25/2020 11:30 AMNo CommentsBy YidInfo Staff
Reportedly angered by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Public denial of the F-35 Arms deal, The United Arab Emirates canceled a planned meeting with the United States and Israel over differences in the possible sales of F-35 fighter jets.
In a statement last week, US President Donald Trump announced that an agreement is under review for the UAE to buy said fighter jets. The US has previously sold the F-35 jet to allies – including South Korea, Japan and Israel – but sales to the Gulf require a deeper review because of American policy for Israel to maintain a military advantage in the Middle East.
The meeting for the proposal that was scheduled to happen soon, saw sudden backout of the emiratis after Netanyahu came out publicly to deny knowledge of the proposed arms deal between Washington, DC and Abu Dhabi. Angered by this statement of indifference, especially after UAE's recent announcement of the normalization of diplomatic ties with Israel, the meeting was canceled in order to send out a clear message of discord.
According to a news report by US media portal Axios, "They (UAE) were particularly angry that he (Netanyahu) told members of his Cabinet that he would raise his concerns about the deal with members of Congress." The report added that the F-35 deal is a "top priority" for the UAE, which considers it as linked to the normalization accord with Israel.
While US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is currently in the Middle East to promote the agreement between UAE and Israel, mediated by Trump's administration, the Palestinians warned the US government against trying to sideline them in its Middle East diplomatic push. Disgruntled over USA's efforts in placating tensions between UAE and Isreal, Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat told Reuters, "Recruiting Arabs to recognize Israel and open embassies does not make Israel a winner. You are putting the whole region in a lose-lose situation because you are designing the road for a forever conflict in the region."

TDS Co-Editor Ruy Teixeira: Public Supports HCR, But Clarity Needed
by staff, February 2nd, 2010 7:15 AM EST
In his latest 'Public Opinion Snapshot' at the Center for American Progress web pages, TDS Co-Editor Ruy Teixeira provides an important update on political attitudes toward health care reform. Teixeira explains:
…In a Kaiser Family Foundation/Washington Post/Harvard Public Health follow-up survey to the Massachusetts election, voters in that election were asked their views on the Massachusetts Universal Health Insurance Law, a law "assuring that virtually all Massachusetts residents have health insurance." Massachusetts voters said they favored that law by 68-27, and even conservative Scott Brown's supporters backed the law by 51-44. As for Obama's claim that the public is not well informed about the health care reform bills and would support these bills more if they were clearly explained, he seems to be on very secure ground according to the latest Kaiser Health Tracking poll. In that poll the public's reaction to 27 different elements of health care reform legislation was tested, and in 22 of those cases the public had a net positive reaction, with more people favorably inclined toward the measure than unfavorably inclined.
Teixeira then cites "the 10 most strongly supported features of the legislation," including:
tax credits to small businesses (73 percent said they were more likely to support legislation with this provision compared to 11 percent who said were less likely); health insurance exchange (67-16); won't change most people's existing health care arrangements (66-10); guaranteed issue of coverage despite pre-existing conditions (63-24); Medicaid expansion (62-22); extend dependent coverage through age 25 (60-22); help close the Medicare prescription drug doughnut hole (60-21); increased income taxes on the wealthy (59-24); subsidy assistance to individuals (57-24); and reduce the deficit (56-20).
But Teixeira cautions "much of the public—exactly Obama's point—does not know these provisions are in the reform bills that passed the House and the Senate," and adds,
According to the same poll, among the provisions above that were tested, lack of awareness ranged from a high of 56 percent for closing the doughnut hole to a low of 28 percent for subsidizing individuals. For most provisions, around 40 percent or more of the public was unaware the provisions were in the legislation.
As Teixeira concludes, Republican charges that the public opposes the Democratic health care reform plan are groundless — as usual, and President Obama is right on target in citing the need to promote public awareness of the legislation's components.

I agree with lfriedland.
As with so many other issues, the GOP narrative seems to win most public opinion battles. It helps that they use simple, bumper sticker-style messages, while unfortunately Democratic talking points seem more complicated.
It also helps them that they all (politicians and media supporters) use the same talking points.
Can Democrats be more effective and disciplined in their messaging? They'd better be. They have a good message which should get out more consistently and clearly.
lfriedland on February 3rd, 2010 - 11:10am
This is an important poll and Texeira's explanation of it is useful. But as a strong Democrat and supporter of the president in the battleground state of Wisconsin, it's hard to understand the treatment of the public's lack of knowledge of the provisions of the bill as a kind of natural disaster. The public doesn't understand it because the White House strategy has been poor. We've stood by and allowed our opponents to define this bill, while letting the visual coverage be the haggling in the Senate. We need to get back on course, and this poll points the way. But let's not pretend that somehow "just got here." This is a communications fiasco of the party's own making and many disgruntled Democrats after Massachusetts (at least out here) want to know that someone in leadership understands this.

MC#011: The Gymnastics Edition
🐥 Why gymnasts are young + 🎬 Athlete A + 👩🏾🏫 Simone's Masterclass
18 Jul 2020 — 8 min read
This is the 11th edition of Making Connections where we take a random (illustrated) walk down tech, fitness, product thinking, org design, nerd culture, persuasion, and behavior change.
This edition is all about gymnastics, similar to Protest edition MC#005. Next week is humor edition and then maybe I'll go back to mixing it up for a while.
1. 🐥 Why are gymnasts often so young?
Cedric, one of my inspirations for trying a new writing format (MC#002) tweeted about this a16z podcast with professional climber Alex Honnold (the guy who free soloed El Capitan). The episode explores the maturity of the training regime of different sports: climbing is fairly new, while marathon running and weight lifting is more established. Less mature sports can support older athletes because the understanding of technique is still being discovered. Plus
Someone replied:
Alex Hannold's podcast on the limits of human performance is insanely awesome: they start right out of the gate with a conversation about the maturity of training regimes in different sports — some are mature, and some are way behind. https://t.co/0YAlcW5esu
— Cedric Chin (@ejames_c) July 13, 2020
Based purely on the fact that the career of a gymnast appears to end already in their early 20s, the stakes to get good fast are much higher and I'd assume the training regime is more mature than in other sports.
— Manuel Friedenstifter (@FriedenstifterM) July 13, 2020
Totally buy this, though I'd defer to an actual gymnast if they would chime in. @JasonShen?
Gymnastics from a maturity perspective is fairly new, and equipment plays a role, which makes the youth question more interesting.
Women tend to peak earlier than men. If you look at the US women's Olympic team in Rio 2016, their ages were: 16, 19, 19, 21, 22) with the two girls in their twenties both competitors in 2012. A decade earlier, it was a different story: Annia Hatch and Mohini Bhardwaj were both 26 when they competed in Athens ('04) for the US Olympic team.
The men's Rio team was aged 21, 23, 24, 25, a29, so about a 5 year difference. As we've covered before in MC#008, we have Jordan Jotchev who competed in 6 Olympics, the last one at age 39, with totally white hair. But even more impressive is Oksana Chusovitina, who has Jotchev beat, competing in 7 Olympics (1992-2016) under three different nations and was set to compete in the 2020 Olympics (now postponed) at a breezy 45 years old.
"I've been training in this sport long enough that if I even wake up and am still breathing, it's a plus" - Oksana
Clearly it's possible to compete at a high level while older, but it's also true that it's not financially very lucrative (at least in the US) and thus wiser to parlay your success into a different career. Conversely, rock climbing is something you can do on the weekend for fun and you can acquire the equipment on your own.
Gymnastics demands more ongoing training and the equipment is expensive and must be housed. Even as a high level gymnast, if I took a week off (which maybe I'd do once a year), my first day back in the gym felt like being inside a different person's body. Nothing felt right and everything hurt.
2. 🎬 Athlete A
The youth of America's female gymnasts may have led them to be more susceptible to gaslighting and unable to respond to abuse of the verbal, physical, and sexual kind. That's one of the takeaways from Athlete A, the Netflix documentary I mentioned last edition about Larry Nassar.
I watched it recently and highly recommend it. The topic is not a walk in the park - Nassar was the US national team doctor for decades and over 500 women including 9 Olympians came forward stating that he violated them under the guise of treatment. But as much as it's about the abuse and coverup, it's about how he was brought to justice.
You may remember McKayla Marooney's "not impressed" face became a meme when she won Silver on vault for a performance where she literally fell. (ie she would have won easily had she landed). The sour look takes on a whole new dimension when you consider that she came forward saying Nassar molested her starting at age 13 through her retirement and USA gymnastics had her sign a confidentiality agreement preventing her from speaking out about it.
Nassar was a monster and absolutely deserves his 40-120 year prison sentence. But USA Gymnastics leadership protected him and buried earlier complaints.
That part is painful for me because I looked up to this organization as it represented what I wanted to do and be. It's hard to separate my desire to excel from the national team training camps I participated in and the warm up jackets I received from the awful truth of what they enabled.
A big part of the documentary focuses on the gaslighting of these young athletes. When you are the victim of the abuse, it can be so incredibly toxic to be told nothing is wrong.
The inimitable reporter Dvora Meyers, who does the best gymnastics coverage anywhere, interviewed Jennifer Sey, a former US national team champion and now SVP at Levi Strauss who wrote about her experience of abuse in gymnastics in a 2008 memoir.
DM: You had one of the most important insights in the movie (in my opinion at least) when you spoke about how essentially you and other gymnasts have been gaslighted, thinking you're hungry but being told that you're not; thinking you're working hard but being told that you're lazy; thinking you're injured but being told that you're fine. What does that kind of repeated gaslighting do to a person, in the short and long term?
JS: It's incredibly disorienting. You don't believe your own experience as you move through the world because you've been told that what you are experiencing is not only not true, it's your fault. It is typical abuser gaslighting. Imagine a mom hits her child. She says to the child, "If you behaved I wouldn't have to hit you." What this says to the child is: I'm not beating you, I'm doing this because you need to be taught a lesson. This is your fault. Then the child grows up thinking any abuse heaped upon her is her fault. She deserves it. And she can end up in abusive situations because, on some level, she feels she deserves this treatment. It is a difficult web to unwind. And it starts by believing in your own experience in the world. Being able to say and know: I am being mistreated. And I don't have to take it. I am worthy just as I am.
It reminds me of how we kept saying "This is not normal" when Trump got elected. 3.5 years later and - it has become somewhat normalized. We get used to unprecedented, inconceivable actions over time, and building the momentum for change takes tremendous effort.
The Washington Redskins are finally changing their name after decades of criticism, due in large part to Black Lives Matter. It took the courage of victims coming forward, relentless investigative reporting, lawyers, detectives, and the #metoo movement to finally end Nassar's 20 year career of abuse. And if this man could get away with it for so long at such a high level, there must be others who still out there.
That's not a particularly upbeat conclusion but I will say that the documentary highlights the heroes who did step up and fight back. Athlete A is was the "Jane Doe" name of Maggie Nichols, who's a core part of the story as she formally reported Nassar in 2015 and kicked off series of actions that led to his demise. Nichols was punished for this report and was not selected for the Rio 2016 team, but went on to have a wildly successful NCAA career. Sey, interviewd above is one of the producers for this film and if anything, it's uplifting to see how someone could rise above her trauma and bring a spotlight to this story.
Go watch Athlete A.
3. 👩🏾🏫 Simone Biles Has a MasterClass
I feel like I can't end this newsletter on such a sad note, so here's one more thing. Simone BIles has a Masterclass on gymnastics. Is it good? I skimmed through it and I think it depends on what you're looking for.
I'm most interested in how she developed into an elite gymnast. The psychology of learning new skills, competing on the world stage. But for most of the people who are going to be new buyers of MasterClass ($90 for one class isn't cheap) I think it's going to be parents of young gymnasts.
The class includes both basics and advanced training on each of the 4 women's events. The basic training shows a young gymnast performing drills, where they break down the right way to do the drill with some nice motion graphics.
The advanced segment features Biles herself voicing over intermediate and advanced skills, and breaking down the some of her more exciting competitive moments. It's shot super well, with lots of camera angles, and helps you appreciate just how great of an athlete she really is.
There are also segments on working with coaches and developing discipline which is great but you could might hear those same ideas from any national caliber or even NCAA level gymnast. But as Adam Keesling in Napkin Math argues, Masterclass is about credentials:
Masterclass is selling the LeBron James poster we put on our bedroom wall, not the skills coach we hire to train us three times a week. And they've learned that adults aren't so much different from our 11-year-old selves: we love to be inspired by the greatest humans on this planet.
It makes a difference who's giving the advice and in what context. If you're struggling with staying focused in the gym and you hear the most successful gymnast of all time share the same thing, it will probably hit home harder.
Bottom line, I assume you're not training to be a better gymnast, so maybe skip the basic drills segments, but otherwise you'll have a great time.
And that's it for edition #011 for Making Connections. Thanks for joining this band of curious readers. Would love to hear your thoughts (just reply or click the comment button to start a conversation!)
Yours in sweat and chalk,


Medical writing is a critical function in any healthcare communications company, providing a challenge to the writer to produce diverse types of output to educate and/or inform a range of audience groups about drugs and diseases. The resulting material may be targeted at any of the following groups:- scientific audiences, pharmaceutical company employees, health care practitioners and/or patients. The medical writer needs to be able to understand both the needs and level of scientific comprehension of each target audience, then utilize his/her own skills to write succinctly and to communicate accurately with them.
A medical writer's output can include slide sets, posters, brochures, newsletters, conference reports and scientific papers. Most of these outputs are increasingly transitioning to new platforms, away from traditional printed formats. The challenge for the medical writer is to marry the requirements of the brief from the client to the needs of the target audience(s) while producing clear and accurate communications. In addition to ensuring scientific and medical accuracy, there is also a need for the writer to ensure that all materials comply with guidelines that have been established by bodies such as the ABPI (Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry).
Purple's goal of building up its healthcare team and broadening the team's capabilities highlighted the need to develop the internal scientific writing resource rather than relying on a pool of freelance medical writers. In addition to enhancing the team's flexibility in meeting the diverse requirements of its clients, this provides Purple's healthcare team with greater scientific credibility when dealing. The establishment of a "scientific hub" within Purple, whose capabilities encompass copy writing, medical editing and medical writing, provides a strong team to meet the diverse healthcare communication needs of its clients. Moreover, the availability of a dedicated writing resource within Purple facilitates the Commercial Teams' ability to deliver higher value business from the companies that they deal with. Their success then provides the writing team with more creative opportunities in addition to enhancing Purple's revenues.
I joined Purple as a Senior Medical Writer to provide the healthcare team with both writing experience and pharmaceutical industry insights. These have been developed through many years of experience of the pharmaceutical industry, originally in research and then as a freelance writer. My writing career has spanned all therapeutic areas and involved producing material for audiences ranging from scientists to financial analysts. The attraction of Purple was the ability to produce material for use across a range of platforms, exploiting opportunities to produce interactive material in addition to more conventional formats reflecting how medical communications is increasingly transitioning to exploit new modes of delivering critical messages.
Peter joined Purple earlier this year as a Senior Medical Writer working across an impressive number of pharmaceutical clients and their respective therapy areas. Peter works alongside a team of copywriters, medical writers, editors and proofreaders here at Purple writing clear and engaging content helping to deliver engaging experiences for our clients and their customers.
