	Working Papers-Modernity inside Tradition: The Transformation of Historical Consciousness in Modern China
		To be sure, modern historical consciousness takes various forms and extends into different dimensions, but one of its key elements has been total skepticism of tradition, as shown in the history of modern Europe where historians constantly adjusted their attitude toward tradition.
		Historical Pyrrhonism and the awareness of the distinction between primary and secondary sources contributed, according to Arnaldo Momigliano, to the rise of modern historiography in the West.
		To Gu, most of the historical texts about China's high antiquity, namely from the epoch of the Three Emperors and Five Kings (the third millennium B.C.) to the early Zhou Dynasty ruled by the Duke of Zhou (twelfth century B.C.) were unreliable; hence the whole period that embodied China's Golden Age tradition became questionable.

	Human Resources for Health \| Full text \| Imbalance in the health workforce
		Imbalance in the health workforce is a major challenge for health policy-makers, since human resources – the different kinds of clinical and non-clinical staff who make each individual and public health intervention happen – are the most important of the health system's inputs [1].
		Physical resources include human resources within the health sector and other sectors; buildings and engineering services such as sanitation, water and heating systems for community use and for the use of medical care institutions; and equipment and supplies.
		Virtually all countries suffer from a geographical maldistribution of human resources for health, and the primary area of concern is usually the physician workforce [67].

	The Protocols of the Elders of Zion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was widely circulated in the West in the 1920s and 1930s, and while continued usage of the Protocols as a propaganda tool substantially diminished with the defeat of the Nazis in World War II, it still has currency in the arsenal of contemporary anti-Semitism.
		This 2005 Syrian edition includes an "historical and contemporary investigative study" that repeats the blood libel among other anti-Semitic accusations, and argues that the Torah and Talmud encourage Jews "to commit treason and to conspire, dominate, be arrogant and exploit other countries."
		The text assumes that the reader already believes that the Freemasons are a secret society with a hidden political agenda, and the Protocols purport to demonstrate that this hidden agenda is itself controlled or guided by the 'Elders,' a sort of conspiracy theory within a conspiracy theory.

	Urban legend
		For online urban legends, a good source is Virus Myths (http://www.vmyths.com); another is the Darwin Awards site, which also showcases a few stories each year of dubious veracity (they've promulgated Urban Legends as facts in the past).
		Certain early historians such as Tacitus, Geoffrey of Monmouth and Herodotus were the progenitors of urban myth, recycling hearsay and anecdotal accounts as historical facts; these writings, in turn were used as the basis for other accounts, and thus many cycles of inaccurate historical narrative became self-perpetuating vicious circles.
		A list of these and other works considered to be suspect is to be found at Dubious historical resources.

		He had demonstrated in Congress his willingness to jeopardize his own political future by taking an unpopular stand on principle, once the reins of power were in his hands; and the stand he had taken then indicated that as president he would be the enemy of slaveholders, despite his protestations of moderation.

	Scarcity or Abundance?
		Kahle's vision of cultural and historical abundance merges the traditional democratic vision of the public library with the resources of the research library and the national archive.
		Another reason for this disinterest is the divorce of archival concerns from the historical profession—a part of the general narrowing of the concerns of professional historians over the past century.
		To observe this broader vision is not to deny the very different historical circumstances (such as the disorganization of archives), the obvious blindness of the early professional historians on many matters (such as race and gender), and the early tensions between "amateurs" and professionals.
