Searches for whichever ngram you input, across all of the books the search engine has scanned, currently standing at about 25 million of what Google estimates to be 130 million total books. Books scanned so far include publications from between 1500 – 2000 and include English, Chinese (simplified), French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Russian, and Spanish. At first the Ngram Viewer may appear dull to the average student — it’s literally a line graph, but once you start playing around with it, it becomes increasingly engaging. For instance my name, Susannah, enjoyed a highpoint of popularity in 1904. For other fun examples of how ngrams can reveal trends, usage and indeed history itself perhaps start with the Ngram info page.

Google also has great story mapping software, called My Maps. Students can collaborate using the software to create both historical and contemporary maps, adding layers that could include images, links, videos, graphics and small descriptions. Naturally because it uses “real” maps it is not necessarily adaptable to fictional environments — for that the Story Maps app is more flexible. Some teachers have found useful ways to include My Maps as a station in their blended learning classrooms, where each student contributes to one map as they cycle through the stations.

A tool developed by Knight Labs of North Western University. In true DH-style, it brings designers, developers and journalists together to develop tools that bring stories to life. The software allows users to plot out events across a geography — it gives visual aides to any narrative, be it fictional, historical or personal. From a Digital Humanities point of view, it uses technology to further visualize data, that then enhances both one’s ability to comprehend the narrative, as well as share it. Another useful part of the tool is that students can build the story maps together. (Ever struggled to follow Arya’s (rather complicated) journey through the Game of Thrones? Wonder no longer as there’s a Story Map for that!)

Introducing ‘Anne Frank House VR,’ an Immersive Experience that Recreates Amsterdam’s Secret Annex and Preserves a Piece of Holocaust History | Oculus

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Today marks what would have been Anne Frank's 89th birthday. As a teenager, she dreamt of becoming a journalist or writer-and while those dreams were tragically cut short, she succeeded in her ambitions not "to have lived in vain" and "to go on living" after her death through the pages of The Diary of a Young Girl. And her legacy can reach people in a brand-new way with Anne Frank House VR, now available on Rift, Oculus Go, and Gear VR.

The Anne Frank House museum partnered with developer Force Field VR to recreate the Secret Annex where Anne Frank and her family lived in hiding from July 6, 1942 until their arrest on the morning of August 4, 1944. Using cutting-edge visualization technology and extensive historical research, the end result opens up the experience to an even wider audience in a fully immersive way.

"The real Secret Annex is empty," explains Anne Frank House Executive Director Ronald Leopold. "The furniture was removed by order of the Nazis after the arrest of the eight people in hiding. It was the wish of Otto Frank, Anne's father, to leave the rooms of the Secret Annex empty. Otto Frank was the only one of the eight people in hiding to survive the war. It is difficult to imagine what the hiding place looked like with furniture, and how cramped it was."

In keeping with Otto Frank's wishes, the museum's rooms remain devoid of furniture. For the VR tour, all rooms are furnished in the style of the times to better approximate what it would have been like for Anne Frank and her family.

Available in seven languages (Dutch, English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Hebrew), the experience is provided free of charge and contains both a straightforward tour and Story Mode, where the echo of Anne Frank's diary entries imbue each room and piece of furniture with significant weight. The dust particles make the stark absence of the Annex's inhabitants poignantly present, while quotes from her diary narrate the experience.

"A VR headset is different from wandering through a 3D environment on your computer, where there is literally a distance between you and the screen," notes Leopold. "With VR, you can immerse yourself in a story."

At the Anne Frank House itself, the museum will offer Anne Frank House VR to mobility-impaired visitors, letting those who are unable to climb the stairs see the Secret Annex for themselves. Discussions are underway to use Anne Frank House VR for the museum's educational programs, as well as for traveling exhibitions worldwide beginning with the Anne Frank Center in New York and the Anne Frank Zentrum in Berlin.

"This project helps to bring Anne Frank's life story to the attention of people all over the world," Leopold says. "Hopefully it also helps to encourage reflection on the dangers of anti-Semitism, racism, and discrimination and the importance of freedom, equal rights, and democracy."

Whether you've read Anne Frank's diary, visited the museum, or are new to her story, we encourage you to step inside a moment of history with Anne Frank House VR on Rift, Oculus Go, and Gear VR.

Is a podcast with the ambitious aim to cover "the story of the Roman Empire from the collapse of the West in 476 to the fall of Constantinople in 1453." It is hosted, researched, and produced by Robin Pierson, a London-based podcaster and television critic who was inspired by Mike Duncan's popular podcast The History of Rome to continue the story with the centuries that followed Rome's collapse. The History of Byzantium narrates this lengthy period in chronological order, so those who want to hear the whole story would do well to start at the beginning, but Pierson's cogent storytelling makes it enjoyable for the listener at any point of entry. Episodes are generally about 20 to 30 minutes long. There are also occasional longer episodes centered on particularly dramatic historical events, such as the Battle of Manzikert (Episode 193), or interviews with scholars in the field. Interested readers can download episodes of The History of Byzantium and see images and Pierson's bibliography of recommended reading at the link above. Those interested in subscribing to the podcast can do so via Spotify, Stitcher, and other platforms.

A good disaster story never fails to fascinate - and, given that it actually happened, the story of Pompeii especially so. Buried and thus frozen in time by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, the ancient Roman town of 11,000 has provided an object of great historical interest ever since its rediscovery in 1599. Baths, houses, tools and other possessions (including plenty of wine bottles), frescoes, graffiti, an ampitheater, an aqueduct, the " Villa of the Mysteries": Pompeii has it all, as far as the stuff of first-century Roman life goes.

The ash-preserved ruins of Pompeii, more than any other source, have provided historians with a window into just what life in that time and place was like. A Day in Pompeii, an exhibition held at the Melbourne Museum in 2009, gave its more than 330,000 visitors a chance to experience Pompeii's life even more vividly. The exhibition included a 3D theater installation that featured the animation above. Watch it, and you can see Pompeii brought back to life with computer-generated imagery - and then, in snapshots over the course of 48 hours, entombed by Vesuvius again.

As inherently compelling as we find the story of Pompeii, modern drama has struggled to capture the power of the disaster that defines it. The late-1960s BBC show offered a comedic rendering of life in the city before the explosion, but more serious interpretations, like the 2014 Hollywood movie , met with only lukewarm critical reception. Best, it seems, to stick to the words of Pliny the Younger, witness to the destruction and still its most evocative describer:

You could hear the shrieks of women, the wailing of infants, and the shouting of men; some were calling their parents, others their children or their wives, trying to recognize them by their voices. People bewailed their own fate or that of their relatives, and there were some who prayed for death in their terror of dying. Many besought the aid of the gods, but still more imagined there were no gods left, and that the universe was plunged into eternal darkness for evermore.

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) publishes about 57,000 topographic maps, many of which can be downloaded for free. These maps may
be used in a variety of science, math, geography, and history classroom
settings, from elementary to college level. Here, educators looking for inspiration can check out a number of ideas about how to utilize these maps as a lesson or classroom activity. These ideas range from activities that introduce and engage students with the basics of mapping (such as latitude
and longitude, coordinate systems, and projecting) to activities that facilitate exploration of what topographic maps can reveal about geographic and social change over time and the relationships between humans and land. In addition, this page includes links to three full K-12 lesson plans and a printable Topographic Map Symbols guide.

The Global Open Data Index was the most shared resource from The Scout Report this past year. Like our readers, we were impressed by this repository of government data from 94 different countries across the globe. These datasets are helpfully organized by country as well as topic, providing an invaluable tool for researchers and journalists. However, this resource will also be of interest to anyone curious about the relative openness of data around the world.

The Global Open Data Index, an initiative of Open Knowledge International, is at once an index of government open data and an assessment of these indexes. As the site notes, "Each year, governments are making more data available in an open format." The Global Open Data Index tracks whether these data are released in a way that is open and accessible to citizens, the media, and the generally curious. The Index ranks countries based on the availability and accessibility of data across 13 categories (including Election Results, Government Spending, and Legislation), displaying the results in an easily navigated infographic and map. Visitors to the site may also view open datasets, when available, by following links on these graphs or by conducting a text search. This makes the Global Open Data Index an excellent one stop shop for national data. Country rankings are updated annually.

Archaeology of the Great War is a project that brilliantly combines valuable primary documents (including archival letters and photographs and archaeological finds) with exceptional design. Every aspect of this website, from the musical selection to the three dimensional images to the animation, is expertly crafted with a great deal of sensitivity and skill. The result is a multimedia resource that allows modern day visitors to learn about a pivotal (and profoundly violent) chapter of history and the importance of archeological research.

Archaeology of the Great War is a poignant, highly interactive website exhibiting recent archeological discoveries from the Argonne region in eastern France, where French and German troops engaged in trench warfare during World War I. The French Ministry of Culture and Communication, in conjunction with French archeologists, archivists, and university faculty, created this website to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the war. During the 1990s, a team of archeologists excavated the former battlefield, unearthing new clues about daily life and death during World War I. Visitors can view these archeological finds alongside archival photographs from the War. This material is helpfully organized into five chapters, which include thoughtful annotations about the significance of these new discoveries. Archeology of the Great War is a powerful resource about the experiences of WWI soldiers, and also demonstrates the role of archeology in recovering new insights about the past. Note: while the text of this site is available in French, English, and German, a few embedded videos are only in French.

Memory Palace is different from some of the famous history podcasts like Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History. DiMeo takes one story, researches it meticulously, and presents its tale in a short 10-minute podcast. These are subjects you won’t often hear about. Like The White Horse, the first gay bar in America. Or the tale of Eugenia Kelly, The Pirate Queen, whose mother took her to court for the scandalous act of dancing.

NEWS

Hi there. So, turns out I am the Artist in Residence at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, New York for 2016/2017.

I'm extremely excited about that.

Here're some A's to some FAQ's...

Q: What'll you be doing, exactly?
A: I'll be producing eight audio pieces over the course of the next several months that are inspired by the collection and the museum itself.

Q: Rad! Are you still going to be doing regular Memory Palace episodes?
A: Thanks for your enthusiasm! Yes, with rare exceptions, these Met Residency Episodes (as they'll be designated on the site and in your podcast feed) will not derail the normal, every-other-week release schedule of the regular Memory Palace episodes. Think of them as bonus episodes.

Q: Sounds dope, Nate. Super dope. But, say I live in Oklahoma/Osaka/Oswego/Oberhausen/Oxaca de Juarez and won't be able to get to the Met, will these pieces still make sense?
A: Maybe? There'll definitely be some that really don't hold up unless you're there. That's just the way it's going to have to be. But, not all. In the notes for each episode, I'll include links to any of the art called out by name in the episode. Further, I suspect that some Met episodes might get a slightly tweaked, non-site-specific Memory Palace episode.

Q: How often will they come out?
A: Periodically. Roughly monthly for the next several months, likely two at a time. But we're going to be flexible.

Q: Beyond the episodes themselves, will you be doing anything else at The Met as part of your residency?
A: Yes. Details to come.

Q: Are you actually in residence?
A: Like, I sleep in a sarcophagus? Or like some From the Mixed up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler situation?

Q: No. Jeeze. Do you live in New York now?
A: Nope. Still in L.A.. Just visiting there a lot.

Q: Are these episodes canon?
A: Like, in the Star Wars/Dr. Who/whatever way? Wow, that's... wow.

Q: Why are you ragging on me? You're writing these questions.
A: Excellent point! If you're a Memory Palace stan, consider the numbered episodes proper Memory Palace episodes.

Q: Looking good, Nate. (Sorry, that was more of a comment).
A: No problem, buddy. Right back at you.

Thanks so much to everyone who applied for the Research Assistant position. I was overwhelmed by the variety and volume of applicants.

Nate

Through a series of flowcharts, you could learn everything about history made by man, especially after civilization.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The app contains 243 interlinked flowcharts including a master flowchart and 17 unit flowcharts. 225 individual full color flowcharts cover both standard topics as well as less standard topics (disease to dancing).

Each flowchart is also the subject of a detailed reading, and are associated with a full-color illustrated timeline covering the relevant period in history.

Search "Flow of History" from iTunes or follow this link to access it directly. www.autodoc.CO.UK

Looking for a Christian homeschool curriculum - check out Northgate Academy

On this site, you will find several hundred pages of information describing the flow of history, from the evolutionary processes that formed our bodies, to the forces of globalization that exploded in the 1990s. It is detailed, engaging reading-the result of over 25 years of continuous refinement for actual classroom use.

Reading about a period will fill your head with facts and names about your chosen topic like any good history textbook. But you won't remember the important lessons-the ones that history classes exist in order to teach us, so that we don't each have to learn them on our own.

Good students studying traditional History texts learn much about the past, but even the best rarely take the lessons of the past with them when they leave class. As a history teacher at University High School in Urbana, Illinois since 1979, I have developed a method for teaching history, using a series of about 200 cross-referenced flowcharts and over 100 powerpoint multimedia lecture outlines to help students see history as a dynamic process of causes and effects, not just a meaningless list of names and dates.

With this website you can help bring about a revolution in the History classroom, producing students that deeply understand the past and enjoy learning about it.

BBC Earth made an interactive 25-slide presentation marking the biggest events in Earth’s history. It starts from the birth of our planet, and ends at 200,000 years ago, when the human race was born. Each event along the way is explained in detail, with some accompanied by an illustrated video.

Along the way, you will find the birth of the mammals, “the Great Dying”, and the many extinction events too. It’s a fascinating exploration of our planet’s history.

Maps can serve multiple purposes; one can use maps to chart the top mountain biking trails in America, keep track of upcoming events, or help plan a family trip. Mapme can be used for all of these purposes. After creating a free account, users will find two different formats to explore, Mapme Story and Mapme Classic. Mapme Story allows users to integrate maps, text, images, and videos in order to create a comprehensive, visually compelling graphic. For example, a social studies teacher might ask students to chart out and explain the expedition of Lewis, Clark, York, and Sacagawea. Mapme Classic, on the other hand, with its clean and simple design, is best for users looking to organize a lot of content about one specific place. An individual, business, or non-profit planning an event could use this tool to advise guests about local accommodations or entertainment.

For social studies teachers - or anyone fascinated by the politics and culture of the Americas - the BBC has assembled this compendium of profiles for every nation in North and South America. From Argentina to Venezuela, the material here is sure to provide fuel for lectures, discussions, readings, homework, and other classroom assignments. Comprehensive in scope, the profiles are well written and accessible; they are often accompanied by vivid images, and sometimes by audio or video content. For instance, students may learn about Mexico that the 2 million square kilometer country is "a nation where affluence, poverty, natural splendour and urban blight rub shoulders." They may also listen to Mexico's national anthem, read about the history of the "de-facto one-party system" that dominated Mexico's politics for 70 years, and learn about current leaders. Related news stories also appear on the right hand side of the page making it easy for educators to reference current events as they unpack the complexities of each nation.

Why Use This Tool

Help children plan a story or prepare for a special event, or let teens review memories and stories from the past. The Timeline tool allows them to create and organize events--real and imagined--and even add images to the descriptions. Saving capability allows them to come back to unfinished work, or they can share their final timeline with friends and family via e-mail.
back to top
Here's What To Do

Discuss with children and teens how they might use the timeline: to help write a story, plan an event, recall past memories, and so forth. Then move to the interactive tool and help them choose the best way to organize the timeline, either by dates, time of day, significant events, or some other unit of measure.
back to top
Children and teens are then prompted to label and title each entry (for example: Step One-Send out invitations) as well as type a description of it (for example: Mom has guest list and addresses in drawer by the phone). Add images for each label to give the timeline even more visual pop! Entries can be dragged and arranged in order on the timeline.

Algunos problemas en la enseñanza de la historia - Descubrir la Historia

reflexión de la búsqueda de explicación a por qué los jóvenes no sienten interés por la historia en los centros de enseñanza.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Como los lectores de Descubrir la Historia sabéis, los editores estamos muy interesados en profundizar en la enseñanza de la historia. El motivo es que las generaciones que actualmente están en los colegios e institutos españoles -y ocurre algo similar en otros países- tienen una concepción bastante negativa de la historia. Nuestro trabajo editorial está fundamentado en explicar la historia de otra manera, pero no basta con que haya proyectos de divulgación, como éste, sino que también es necesario reflexionar y comprender qué problemas existen en la enseñanza de la historia para encontrar soluciones que mejoren la percepción de esta disciplina. Pero no por una cuestión de imagen, sino porque comprender la historia como lo que realmente es y aprender contribuye a construir una mejor sociedad.

Esta reflexión surge de la búsqueda de explicación a por qué los jóvenes no sienten interés por la historia en los centros de enseñanza. En dicha exploración encontré un artículo publicado hace ya quince años (en 2000) titulado: "Dificultades para la Enseñanza de la Historia en la Educación Secundaria: Reflexiones ante la situación española". Lo escribía Joaquín Prats, de la Universidad de Barcelona, y se publicó en Revista de Teoría y Didáctica de las Ciencias Sociales. A pesar de su edad -quince años, para la investigación académica y con lo que ha llovido en reformas educativos, es mucho- me pareció completamente vigente.

Ha habido muchos cambios políticos en España desde entonces, con sus consecuentes reformas educativas, pero el artículo resulta actual porque reflexiona en profundidad sobre los problemas asociados a la enseñanza de la historia en la educación secundaria. Aunque se centra en España, creo que muchas de sus conclusiones son extensibles a otros modelos educativos. De hecho, su reflexión parte de planteamientos que se hicieron en Reino Unido en la década de los 70 cuando se dieron cuenta de que la historia no interesaba demasiado a los estudiantes.

Joaquín Prats agrupa las dificultades en: Contextuales y Ligadas a la naturaleza de la historia como ciencia social. Las primeras, a su vez, las relaciona con tres factores: la visión social de la historia, la política que pretenden los gobernantes para esta materia y la tradición y formación de los docentes. Vamos a comentar con algo más de detalle las dificultades contextuales.

En primer lugar el conocimiento de la historia suele verse como algo meramente erudito, es decir, que sirve para poco más que para demostrar un alto nivel cultural y cuya aplicación práctica no va mucho más allá de los concursos donde puedes ganar algún premio si se acierta a una pregunta relacionada con esta disciplina. También socialmente se suele relacionar como la historia útil aquella que está más cercana con el tiempo presente. Buena cuenta de ello dan los medios de comunicación que se centran especialmente en temas relacionados con la Transición Española a la democracia o la revolución cubana -ejemplos citados por Prats-, y sólo se alejan para hablar de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Yo diría algo más: cuando hay una efeméride, como la Primera Guerra Mundial, se vuelcan con ella.

Esto, que él llama "contemporaneísmo exagerado como centro de máximo interés en temas de estudio del pasado", lleva a un presentismo, es decir, a tener una mirada desde el tiempo presente de cualquier fenómeno pasado, sea reciente o muy anterior. Esto puede llevar a muchos errores de interpretación. Sin embargo, esto lleva a un riesgo aún mayor. La política muchas veces quiere influir en la enseñanza de las ciencias sociales y, para lograr sus objetivos ideológicos, es mucho más efectivo referirse a hechos cercanos en el tiempo.

También Joaquín Prats considera que existe una visión social relacionado con lo esotérico. Alguna vez hemos denunciado esto en nuestra página web -nos referíamos a los famosos documentales que mezclan seres extraterrestres con la historia -. El autor explica que algunas encuestas realizadas a alumnos de secundaria ofrecían como resultado una confusión absoluta en relación con la historia, ya que muchos daban como ciertas muchas teorías que son denostadas completamente por la ciencia histórica. El error radica en que estos temas no son abordados en clase y, además, también existe una responsabilidad por parte de los medios de comunicación al dar como válidas estas teorías y ofreciéndolas al público sin ningún tipo de debate.

Sobre el uso político de la historia, Prats alude a campañas iniciadas desde la política que tienen un carácter pedagógico (señala los 500 años del Descubrimiento de América y los 1000 años del nacimiento de Cataluña, entre otros), y que tienen la intención de justificar una posición ideológica sobre el presente político. También, y no menos importante, la capacidad ejecutiva de los gobiernos para modificar los currículos académicos permite configurar la conciencia colectiva al influir en el conocimiento del pasado de manera partidista. Por ejemplo, se puede emplear esta influencia para incrementar el sentimiento patriótico, crear adhesiones políticas o sobrevalorar hitos del pasado nacional. En resumen, la política muchas veces actúa de manera irresponsable al no fundamentar los planes de estudio y métodos de enseñanza en técnicos expertos en esta materia.

El último factor contextual que ocasiona problemas para la enseñanza de la historia es la formación de los profesores. Apunta que la tradición imperante considera la historia como un conocimiento formado por "informaciones acabadas", no como una ciencia en continua construcción. El autor considera que parte del error está en el propio currículo, pero también en la tendencia a que los profesores enseñen la historia de manera "enunciativa, poco activa y como un saber cerrado y concluido". Por contra, sería necesario mostrar la historia como un saber científico, en el que se va profundizando conforme se realizan nuevas investigaciones o aparecen nuevas fuentes que pueden llegar a cambiar nuestra concepción tradicional de muchas cosas. Al igual que sucede, por ejemplo, en la física, la química o la biología.

Una vez explicados los factores contextuales, Joaquín Prats entra de lleno en las dificultades que ofrece la historia como ciencia social. Este es un tema peliagudo, y sobre el que se ha escrito muchísimo. En primer lugar, de manera general, la historia es una ciencia que estudia fenómenos muy complejos y dinámicos, que requieren de un conocimiento teórico y de modelos abstractos que requieren de la utilización de variables que no se pueden aislar. Y todo ello sin olvidar que el pasado no está poblado, como dijo Gombrich, de abstracciones, sino de personas.

Otro de los problemas de la historia como ciencia social es que no se pueden reproducir fenómenos del pasado, como sí permiten las ciencias experimentales. En el caso de la historia, es imposible llevar a un estudiante a otro periodo histórico, pero se pueden elaborar métodos que faciliten la comprensión mediante métodos como la empatía, un tema que ya abordamos en un artículo. Pero es más complejo aún resolver el eterno debate existente entre historiadores sobre la propia definición de la historia como ciencia social. De hecho, es tan serio que llega hasta el punto de que hay quienes dudan de que realmente sea una ciencia social.

Algunas dificultades específicas que se plantean, derivadas de todo esto, en las aulas son: la diversidad de definiciones para conceptos en relación con diferentes periodos históricos, la dificultad para comprender en determinadas edades la concepción del tiempo pasado, la comprensión de la causalidad y multicausalidad en la explicación histórica y, por último, la localización geográfica y la identificación de espacios histórico-culturales.

En este estudio, Joaquín Prats nos ofrece muchas pistas que pueden favorecer el cambio en el estudio de la historia. Es muy difícil cambiar las percepciones sociales de la disciplina histórica o abordar temas relacionados con la psicología cognitiva a determinadas edades. Sin embargo, este análisis puede contribuir, al menos, a sensibilizar a los responsables políticos y a la ciudadanía de la importancia de esta disciplina y de todos los peligros a los que se enfrenta.

El artículo examina los profundos cambios que confronta la historia, en las últimas dos décadas, como resultado de la revolución social y cultural provocada por la irrupción de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación, centradas en Internet. El artículo describe el nuevo escenario bajo el cual tiene que operar el historiador, en un mundo en que los conceptos y contenidos históricos son generados, de manera dominante, por la gente corriente, a través de blogs, wikis y otros recursos de la Web 2.0 o Web Social. Se hace una revisión de los desafíos que confronta la disciplina. Se destaca que ellos no constituyen una amenaza para el trabajo histórico, sino el factor para su éxito, en los contextos sociales que ofrece el siglo XXI. Luego de examinar el estado en que se encuentra la historia digital en el ámbito académico, se estudia su viabilidad en el campo escolar, estableciéndose un paralelo entre la actitud conservadora del historiador y del profesor de historia.

Pensamiento Crítico es un espacio de expresión pluralista, abierto a todos los intelectuales con sensibilidad contemporánea, interesados en estimular el desarrollo de la historia social y cultural.

Es un proyecto donde se conjugan distintas miradas y sensibilidades historiográficas, convocadas por un interés común: estimular una reflexión crítica sobre el pasado y presente de nuestra realidad.

Sobre la línea editorial de la publicación, no es mucho lo que cabe decir. Queremos que sea la propia revista la que nos muestre su rostro a medida que vaya desarrollándose; queremos, también, actuar como vitrina experimental para la creación de las formas que adoptará la historia en la era digital.

Pensamiento Crítico es, junto con un medio académico, un espacio destinado a alojar una red social de historiadores innovadores, que comparten el interés por explorar las ricas posibilidades que ofrecen las nuevas tecnologías de información y comunicación basadas en Internet.

Jaime Guzmán is considered the civil with must power during Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship, for his participation in the writing of the 1980's Constitution, as well as for his protagonist role in the institutional building-process in the dictatorship's aftermath. This work aims at determining the causes which explain his moving apart from traditional positions and his gradual embracement of authoritarian liberalism. The endorsement of the latter would ended up guiding his ideological contribution to the regime, and thereby, to the future democracy. The documental analysis allow us to affirm that his capacity to assimilate and apply ideas to the political reality in which he is engaged, made of him a nexus between traditional conservatism and economical neoliberal thought in Chile.

Millions of women deal with severe hair loss when using birth control pills. Though these pills have some benefits for their body, it has been also proved to threaten their locks. Unfortunately a balanced diet is less likely to help because the cause involves hormonal imbalances. Discover Provillus at the official store, the most efficient treatment that combats all causes of alopecia in a natural way.
More information about hair thinning from birth control pills

Doctors warn their patients about potential hair loss problems caused by birth control pills. As it is mentioned on WebMD estrogen and progestin hormones released in woman's body may cause hormonal imbalances that result in certain forms of shedding. Alopecia will continue even after the hormonal treatment is stopped, mostly if you do not have a healthy lifestyle. Whether it is related to birth control pills or menopause, any hormonal imbalance holds your follicles from receiving the proper nourishment. They become fragile in a very short period, causing important shedding problems.

Hair loss due to contraceptives is stopped when hormonal balance is restored. Provillus is a highly efficient treatment for alopecia. The active compounds will normalize your hormones levels naturally. Additionally, it increases hair roots oxygenation which allows them to easily assimilate the amino acids meant to strengthen them. Not only that your locks will not be affected by contraceptives but they will become even more energized and bouncy. If you are suffering from shedding due to hormonal imbalances, Provillus.org is what you need.

Fix hair loss with Provillus

Designed to heal alopecia in two ways, Provillus contains a topic solution that should be applied externally and supplements for daily use. Both of them boost your hair growth through organic extracts. Para-amino benzoic acid and Biotin work together to detoxify your body. A healthy immunity and an increased blood circulation into follicles allow them to gain strength. Your locks will remain in the growing phase for a longer time, looking healthier. Use both dietary pills and topic substance to get the best results for your locks.

Provillus can be used without prescription because it is 100% natural. Almost all the clients that tried it confirmed that they felt no harmful side effects. On contrary, the positive effects are absolutely fascinating. No matter what determined their alopecia, the supplements along with the external solution enhanced their locks image in a couple of weeks. Depending on shedding severity exceptional results will be achieved in about 3 months. However, if you aim to get permanent outcomes, doctors recommend using the product for about 6 consecutive months. The treatment will be even more efficient if you combine it with a healthy lifestyle.
Shedding is terrifying mostly when its cause is hormonal. If you notice patches of hair on your pillow or brush, have a closer look at your hair. Alopecia is a serious disease that determines severe hair loss if not treated. Use Provillus to balance your hormones in a healthy way. The supplements and the topic solution for external use will keep your locks strong, healthy and shinning.

Many men choose to take pills and supplements to repair aspects of their body which they are not comfortable with. Some take them to grow thicker and longer hair, others take them to lose weight.
Most of them take these treatments to enhance their penis size and their sexual performance. In a desperate quest to achieve this, they buy pills which can endanger their health dramatically. Only in the past two years FDA has banned over 15 male enhancement pills that were proven to have hidden ingredients. By taking these products, many men were exposed to serious health risks and even fatal consequences.

Popular male enhancement pills

Viagra is probably the best known male enhancement product out there. One of its main ingredients is sildenafil, which is responsible for the active response of the nervous system and the increased sexual performance that follows. You can get this treatment only with a receipt from your doctor, who first checks to see if you suffer from diabetes, blood-circulation issues or high cholesterol. Based on WebMD sildenafil can create serious problems for men affected by these illnesses and this is why doctors will never prescribe them Viagra, Cialis or Levitra.

There are many fake products on the market which claim that their only components are herbal-based. However, medical tests have shown a clear presence of sildenafil in their composition. By taking these remedies, men could suffer brain damage, irreparable heart disease and a decrease in blood pressure that is almost deadly.

Harmful side effects

In order to avoid a severe health problem, you must always check if the pills you purchase have been medically tested and approved. Vimax Pills from http://www.healthinstitution.com/ is one of the few male enhancement treatments that have been proven to contain only natural substances and, most importantly, is sildenafil-free. Among its ingredients you can find perfectly safe extracts from plants like Ginseng, Ginkgo Biloba, Rice and Cayenne Pepper. This mix ensures that you get the best out of a sexual encounter and that you maintain your health at all times.

Vimax Pills have been approved and prescribed by doctors worldwide. They are literally harmless to men, regardless of their health condition. More than 95% of the subjects who have used this remedy have benefited from excellent results even if they were suffering from diabetes, high-blood pressure or high cholesterol.

Erectile dysfunction is a serious matter for many men. Even if new treatments for this condition are released every year, many copycat products find their place on the drugstore shelves somehow and trick thousands of men in purchasing them. This is because the current legislation does not require manufacturers to state the exact amounts of the ingredients they use in these products. With Vimax Pills this is not an issue and you can clearly see the list of all the substances used on the product label.
The battle between the medical field and the producers of fake supplements rages on. The problem is that the only victims of this war are the consumers who are exposed to damaging side effects if they pick the wrong product.
