Well, the first printing press was actually brought to America by my great great great grandpa (or something) in 1638, called the "Gutenberg" printing press invented by non-other than "Johannes Gutenberg" (how original). It was then examined by inventors and modified over the years, at that time it was used to write books and newspapers, fun fact, the "Gutenberg" printing press was used to write the first ever printed bible. In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century came the modifying, It did not change much in shape though, it did not get lighter, if anything it got heavier, but it was progress, the new modification turned the "Gutenberg" press into the same version, but in cast iron instead of wood, so same thing but heavier. Now, the real progress, lies with a man named "Earl Stanhope", in 1800 he invented the "Stanhope" press (common guys wheres the originality?) made completely out out of cast iron, it was the first book press. However the new press had a series of levers that gave the printer, or pressman quite a lot of extra power. In 1816 A man named "George Clymer" invented the first "Colombian Printing Press" (well, at least he didn't name it after himself, that's a little originality), This new press was also an iron hand press, although while the "Gutenberg" press could only print about 100 and hour the "Colombian" Press could print 250 pages an hour. After about 200 years of work and modifying, the technology of the printing press has really grown. From the original, "Gutenberg" press, to the type writer to the computer, to the laptop, and finally to the touch screen phone, the history of the printing press is truly a fascinating one.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

Iwill only mark brainliest if you get it correct. read the following prompt and type your response in the space provided. examine the diagram and text: you see water all around you every day as lakes, rivers, ice, rain and snow. there are also vast amounts of water that are unseen—water existing in the ground. and even though groundwater is unseen, it is moving below your feet right now. as part of the water cycle, groundwater is a major contributor to flow in many streams and rivers and has a strong influence on river and wetland habitats for plants and animals. people have been using groundwater for thousands of years and continue to use it today, largely for drinking water and irrigation. life on earth depends on groundwater just as it does on surface water. there are rivers flowing below our feet … a myth? have you ever heard that there are rivers of water flowing underground? do you think it’s true? actually, it is pretty much a myth. even though there are some caverns, lava, and ice tubes, and horizontal springs that can carry water, the vast majority of underground water occupies the space between rocks and subsurface material. some rivers, such as the alpha river in northern florida, usa, can disappear underground during low flow periods. generally, water underground is more like water in a sponge. it occupies the space is between soil and rock particles. at a certain depth below the land surface, the spaces between the soil and rock particles can be totally filled with water, resulting in an aquifer from which groundwater can be pumped into used by people. courtesy of the u. s. geological survey is there missing or extraneous information in this diagram? are all of the details in the text relevant and accurate? explain using details from the text.

This excerpt is from “the poet” by alfred, lord tennyson. the poem describes a poet's consciousness and perception. which three lines suggest the richness of a poet's thoughts? thus truth was multiplied on truth, [the world like one great garden show'd,] and thro' the wreaths of floating dark upcurl'd, rare sunrise flow'd. [and freedom rear'd in that august sunrise] her beautiful bold brow, when rites and forms before his burning eyes melted like snow. [there was no blood upon her maiden robes] sunn'd by those orient skies; but round about the circles of the globes of her keen eyes and in her raiment's hem was traced in flame wisdom, a name to shake [all evil dreams of power--a sacred name.] and when she spake, [her words did gather thunder as they ran,] and as the lightning to the thunder which follows it, riving the spirit of man, making earth wonder, so was their meaning to her words. no sword of wrath her right arm whirl'd, [ but one poor poet's scroll, and with 'his' word] she shook the world.
