The United Way of America is a charitable not-for-profit organization who has been around since 1987. United Way made fundraising easy by coming up with the idea of receiving money straight from worker’s pay checks. This system created large amounts of money, that was donated to smaller local charities. This organization was built by William Aramony, who was the CEO until 1992. Aramony created a bad public image by giving himself to large of a salary, which forced him to resign. The board of directors appointed a new 39 year old women president, by the name of Elaine Chao.
Cities by John Reader, the acclaimed historian attempts to dive readers deep into the territory of urban historians, depicting and analyzing the greatest cities of planet earth. From the earliest examples of cities to the ultra modern cities, 7000-9000 years later, of Mumbai or Tokyo, Reader paints the picture loud and clear. Cities around the globe are home to half of the entire planets population! Those living in cities, consume nearly 75% of all natural resources in the entire world. From the ruins of the earliest cities to the present, Reader will explore how cities develop and thrive, how they can decline and die, how they remake themselves. In the beginning of chapter two, Reader states, “The first cities are said to have arisen from rural communities whose intensified farming practices produced surpluses large enough to free craft workers and other specialists from working on the land (Reader 10).” With that being said, the first cities were basically an intensification of agriculture. He starts with extreme detail describing the “oldest-known cities” from around 9000 years ago. Starting with the claimed first city Çatal Hüyük. This was a large Turkish neolithic site, has been described as the world's first city. Stretching back over 9000 years, at times up to 10,000 people might have lived there. As Reader stated, the site was discovered in 1958 by the British archaeologist James Mellaart. He was unsure in categorizing Catal Huyuk as a city or a town. From what we think as of a city today, like New York or Paris, classifying Catal Huyuk as a city can be difficult. Catal Huyuk was a settlement in southern Anatolia, which existed from approximately 7500 BC to 5700 BC. Certainly it is a site of immense historic and social...

Papermaking had actually been invented by the Chinese but was improved and made more efficient by the Muslim empire. Paper had first been introduced to the empire in Samarkand in around 850 CE. After the battle of Talas against the Chinese in 751, they had taken Chinese prisoners who turned out to be professional paper makers and used them for their advantage. They gave the prisoners space to practice their paper making skills and also learned their skills. They then took those skills from the Chinese prisoners and improved on them to make a more efficient way of making paper. The Chinese first started making paper around 150 CE using mulberry bark. According to Sardar Ziauddin, “The Chinese craft of paper-making introduced in Samarkand could not be transformed into a manufacturing process, not at least because mulberry bark was not widely available in Muslim lands.” With not enough mulberry bark available, The Muslims used flax, cotton and linen rags as a substitute. They also introduced a bamboo mold, “which could be used to drain wet sheets of paper and from which paper could still be removed while still moist.” With these innovations the paper industry was able to spread rapidly. The first paper mill was established in Baghdad in 793 CE. They soon appeared in Damascus, Tiberius, Tripoli, Cairo, Muslim Sicily, Moorish Spain and other parts of the

The tradition of painting has been carried from the ancient times to the Indian subcontinent. As a proof to this fact are the exquisite murals of Ajanta and Ellora, Buddhist palm leaf manuscripts, Mughal and Kangra schools of miniature Indian paintings, etc. Infect, records have been found that indicate the usage of paintings for decorating the doorways, guest rooms, etc. Some traditional Indian paintings, similar to those cave paintings Ajanta, Bagh and Sittanvasal, depict a love for nature and its forces.
