KryptonSite Message Forums - QUESTION - Post-Crisis & Pre-Crisis. Pre-Crisis is the ever so complicated era before the Crisis on all the Earths occurred which wiped out a majority of heroes and storylines to make it easier to follow. To some of you, this may seem as a stupid question, But I really have no idea what all of you are reffering to when you say something like "That's pre-crisis" or "That may be in the post-crisis..", What is pre and post crisis?. The Crisis was a revamp of the DC Universe in 1986. www.kryptonsite.com /forums/showthread.php?postid=221609   (280 words)

FIRESALE.htm The third is to examine the welfare implications of crisis-induced sales of domestic assets to foreign firms, and in particular to ask how those implications depend on our diagnosis of the crisis itself. The more difficult question, however, is to explain why the prices of assets should have fallen so much, so suddenly - which comes down to the question of how to explain the crisis itself. (This question is likely to be raised with considerable force if the nationalistic backlash in Asia, which is clearly present although so far still surprisingly muted, becomes a more important aspect of the situation. web.mit.edu /krugman/www/FIRESALE.htm   (5621 words)

SparkNotes: The Pre-Civil War Era (1815–1850): Overview The pre–Civil War years (1820–1860, or the “antebellum years”) were among the most chaotic in American history—a time of significant changes that took place as the United States came of age. The debate was critical in the Missouri crisis, the annexation of Texas, and after the Mexican War. In the wake of the War of 1812, many nationalistic Americans believed that God intended for them to spread democracy and Protestantism across the entire continent. www.sparknotes.com /history/american/precivilwar/context.html   (796 words)

4. Full Impact of Currency Crisis Hits in 1998 (The "influence" of the crisis was defined as the differential between pre-crisis forecasts and the actual situation.) The results show that the economic turmoil caused by the Asian currency crisis caused the value of world trade in 1997 (nominal exports in U.S. dollar terms) to fall short of forecasts by 5.2% (Table 10). According to preliminary calculations based on JETRO's econometric model, the economic turmoil caused by the Asian currency crisis has restricted world trade in 1997 in U.S. dollar terms (on a nominal export basis) by 5.2% in comparison with pre-crisis forecasts (Table 10). (1) Economic recovery in East Asia is expected to be export led, but the "crisis in the financial system" is making it hard for exporters to raise funds. training.itcilo.it /actrav_cdrom1/english/global/jetro/part1/4.html   (393 words)

Zimbabwe’s land crisis - lessons for South Africa Any analysis of the land question or land reform process must take into account the extent to which the peasantry, the rural and landless poor will fill the gap that is presently being occupied by large scale producers in a capitalist economy.

musly1 It is not my purpose here to discuss this issue [see WR:CFOF, chapter three: "Islam in Crisis"], but merely to point out that the same problem the Jew faced in NT times, is faced by the Muslim in many of the non-Islamic cultures it conducts missionary activity in today. All of the regulations of kingship (which our Muslim author will list in a later section) apply to an autonomous Israelite state--as during the pre-exilic periods (pre-600ad, roughly). "The question for the future is whether Islam will remain what it has been in the past, a comprehensive culture based on a religion, or become a 'church', a religious institution accepted by larger or smaller bodies of adherents within the framework of secular civilisation" [ Concise Encyclopedia of Living Faiths, ed. www.christian-thinktank.com /musly1.html   (1296 words)

Agadir Crisis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The German move was aimed at reinforcing claims for compensation for acceptance of effective French control of the North African kingdom, where France's pre-eminence had been upheld by the 1906 Algeciras Conference following the Tangier Crisis (or First Moroccan Crisis) of the previous year. The Agadir Crisis, also called the Second Moroccan Crisis, was the international tension sparked by the deployment of a German warship, the Panther, to the Moroccan port of Agadir on July 1, 1911. British backing for France during the crisis reinforced the Entente between the two countries and added to Anglo-German estrangement, deepening the divisions which would culminate in World War I. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Agadir_Crisis   (267 words)

II Journa:Algerian Voices, European Reactions: Examining Conflicts in Discourse, Information and Analysisl Their position resembles that of the army in present-day Turkey or the monarchy in Morocco: while allowing space for democratic participation and "civil society," they consider themselves as the polity's ultimate guardians, uniquely entitled to intervene at moments of crisis. This disagreement over the current crisis, found in many forms, is also reflected in the debate over responsibility over the massacres, mentioned at the beginning of this article, and also flared up in dinnertime discussion among some of the participants. As an organizer of the conference, I volunteered to speak on Algeria's continuities and discontinuities within Islamic history, including the peculiar nature of the country's pre-colonial elites and their relation to warfare on land and by sea. www.umich.edu /~iinet/journal/vol7no1/bonner.htm   (267 words)

World War I During the Second Moroccan or Agadir Crisis ( 1911), a German naval presence in Morocco tested the Anglo-French coalition once again. The rise of anti-Austrian circles in Serbia following a 1903 palace coup contributed to a further crisis in 1908 over Austria's unilateral annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, German pressure forcing a humiliating climbdown on the part of a Russia weakened (1905) by defeat at the hands of Japan and subsequent revolutionary disorder Wilhelm's support for Moroccan independence from France, Britain's new strategic partner, provoked the Tangier Crisis of 1905. www.worldwidewebfind.com /encyclopedia/en/wikipedia/w/wo/world_war_i.html   (267 words)

Hari Seldon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Using psychohistory, Seldon found the right time and place to set up a new society, one that would replace the collapsing Galactic Empire by sheer force of social pressure, over a thousand-year time span. In the first five books of the Foundation Series, Hari Seldon made only one in-the-flesh appearance, in the first chapter of the first book (Foundation), although he did appear other times as pre-recorded messages. Shortly after his presentation, he becomes a lightning rod for political forces who want to use psychohistory for their own purposes. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Hari_Seldon   (267 words)

Seldon Crisis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia However, the Fifth Crisis did not occur as predicted: The Independent Traders were going to revolt as predicted, but stopped when the galactic conqueror known only as The Mule began his invasion of all Foundation terriotories. These 'Seldon Crises' were planned and pre-determined by Hari Seldon (after whom they were named) as devices for controlling the flow of events in connection to the Foundation in order to execute the Seldon Plan. A Seldon Crisis would occur when the fictional Foundation nation would encounter a political crisis which would eventually leave only one possible, inevitable, course of action. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Seldon_Crisis   (267 words)

Abyssinia Crisis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Abyssinia Crisis was a pre-WW2 diplomatic crisis originating in the conflict between Italy and Abyssinia (present-day Ethiopia).

Reflecting on Sputnik - Rutherford 1 Where the post-war/pre-sputnik educational concerns were largely demographic—first the colleges trying to accommodate returning veterans, the likes of which had not been seen before, then quickly the schools doing the same for the young baby boomers. The point of this brief—and altogether inadequate—commentary is merely to emphasize that the Sputnik episode as it bears on science education cannot be understood well in isolation from the educational context in which it is embedded. The same could have been said (but was not, for lack of time) in regard to the science context, for the growing importance of science and its applications (especially the changing relationship between science and government) has brought the question of the place of science in the schools to the forefront. www.nas.edu /sputnik/ruther1.htm   (882 words)

Bureau 42 Infinite Crisis #1 And, in the wake of this Crisis, as in the wake of the one that swept away Infinite Earths back in the 1980s, DC may well produce some impressive, innovative mainstream comics. DC has devoted the last year to various mini-series and a special Countdown to Infinite Crisis comic that expressly link to this storyline. Crisis made mainstream headlines; even those with no interest in comics could grasp the notion of a pop-culture event that involved the death of childhood icons. www.bureau42.com /view/2858   (1199 words)

FSU Editorial: "How A US Currency Crisis Could Unfold" by Chris Laird 10/04/2005 But currency crises also come and have come to the US even, and in Dec 2004 we were flirting with pre stage events that could have boiled into a dollar crisis, when the USD was dropping fast late 2004. It is possible a USD crisis could ensue, not as a result of some definite decision of foreigners to pull out of the USD, but could ensue as an accident, possibly of derivatives..... So whether its hyperinflation with a resultant mad rush to buy anything real, or a currency crisis where there is a mad rush to buy any currency other than the USD, people with large amounts of cash are asking for big trouble. www.financialsense.com /fsu/editorials/2005/1004.html   (1656 words)

Abyssinia The crisis in Abyssinia from 1935 to 1936 brought international tension nearer to Europe - the crisis in Abysinnia also drove Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy together for the first time. The Abyssinians could not hope to stand up to a modern army - they were equipped with pre-World War One rifles and little else. The Italians had attempted to expand in eastern Africa by joining Abyssinia to her conquests, but in 1896, the Italians were heavily defeated by the Abyssinians at the Battle of Adowa. www.historylearningsite.co.uk /abyssinia.htm   (843 words)

The Possibilities For 'Humanitarian War' By The International Community In Bosnia-Herzegovina Between 1992 and 1995 It was a widely reported phenomena that during the pre-Dayton Bosnian War (April 92-October 95) those most vociferous in the intervention camp in the west tended to be liberals who in previous circumstances always ruled out the viability of using force to resolve conflict- the 'B-52 Liberals' quoted by Booth (Booth, op.cit., p. The second positivist argument for intervention in Bosnia was predicated on the need to punish Croatia and Serbia for their aggression against the newly-recognised Bosnian state so as to show that force does not pay and to uphold the authority of the UN. For example Higgins denies that the Bosnian war was a civil war, arguing that the involvement of Serbia made it a clear case of trans-national aggression. www.jha.ac /articles/a020.htm   (11939 words)

Pre-war action already under way csmonitor.com Hussein is preparing to use scorched-earth tactics - destroying his own infrastructure and oil facilities - to impede attackers while creating a humanitarian crisis that could be blamed on the US and its allies. The first phase of war also seems to be raising the curtain on a new US approach to defending itself around the world: preemptive attacks instead of just holding in check the source of a threat to national security. The US, for its part, is using airborne leaflets and broadcasts to fight a psychological war that is well under way - warning Iraqi forces against the use of chemical or biological weapons lest they be prosecuted as war criminals, assuring civilians that they will not be targeted. www.csmonitor.com /2003/0219/p01s03-woiq.html   (939 words)

Asian financial crisis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Pre crisis, Malaysia had a large current account deficit of 5 %of GDP. The crisis in general was part of a global backlash against the Washington Consensus and institutions such as the IMF and World Bank, which simultaneously became unpopular in developed countries following the rise of the anti-globalization movement in 1999. The crisis has been intensively analyzed by economists for its breadth, speed, and dynamism; it affected dozens of countries, had a direct impact on the livelihood of millions, happened within the course of a mere few months, and at each stage of the crisis leading economists, in particular the international institutions, seemed a step behind. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Asian_financial_crisis   (4211 words)
