Economy of Bosnia and Herzegovina This page discusses the Economy of Bosnia and Herzegovina since Bosnia and Herzegovina's declaration of sovereignty in October 1991 and the declaration of independence from the former Yugoslavia on 3 March 1992. Overview[edit] Bosnia and Herzegovina faces the dual problem of rebuilding a war-torn country and introducing Neo-liberal market reforms to its former mixed economy. One legacy of the previous era is strong metal industry; under former republic premier Džemal Bijedić,and Yugoslav president Tito, metal industries were promoted in the republic, resulting in the development of a large share of Yugoslavia's metal industry plants. The war in Bosnia and Herzegovina caused production to plummet by 80% from 1992 to 1995 and unemployment to soar. The konvertibilna marka (convertible mark or BAM)- the national currency introduced in 1998 - is pegged to the euro, and confidence in the currency and the banking sector has increased.

Stuttering Stuttering (/ˈstʌtərɪŋ/; alalia syllabaris), also known as stammering (/ˈstæmərɪŋ/; alalia literalis or anarthria literalis), is a speech disorder in which the flow of speech is disrupted by involuntary repetitions and prolongations of sounds, syllables, words or phrases as well as involuntary silent pauses or blocks in which the person who stutters is unable to produce sounds.[1] The term stuttering is most commonly associated with involuntary sound repetition, but it also encompasses the abnormal hesitation or pausing before speech, referred to by people who stutter as blocks, and the prolongation of certain sounds, usually vowels semivowels. For many people who stutter, repetition is the primary problem. Blocks and prolongations are learned mechanisms to mask repetition, as the fear of repetitive speaking in public is often the main cause of psychological unease. The impact of stuttering on a person's functioning and emotional state can be severe. Characteristics[edit] Causes[edit]
History of Albania The territorial nucleus of the Albanian state formed in the Middle Ages, as the Principality of Arbër and the Sicilian dependency known as the Kingdom of Albania. The first records of the Albanian people as a distinct ethnicity also date to this period. The area was part of the Serbian Empire, passing to the Ottoman Empire in the 15th century. The communist regime collapsed in 1990, and the former communist Party of Labour of Albania was routed in elections in March 1992, amid economic collapse and social unrest. Prehistory[edit] The first traces of human presence in Albania were found in the village Xarrë, near Sarandë and Mount Dajt near Tiranë dating to the Middle Paleolithic and Upper Paleolithic eras.[2] The objects found in a cave near Xarrë include flint and jasper objects and fossilized animal bones, while those found at Mount Dajt comprise bone and stone tools similar to those of the Aurignacian culture.

History of East Timor East Timor is a country in Southeast Asia, officially known as Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste. The country comprises the eastern half of the island of Timor and the nearby islands of Atauro and Jaco. The first inhabitants are thought to be descendant of Australoid and Melanesian peoples. East Timor declared itself independent from Portugal on 28 November 1975, but was invaded by neighboring Indonesia nine days later. Pre-colonial history[edit] The island of Timor was populated as part of the human migrations that have shaped Australasia more generally. Around 3000 BC, a second migration brought Melanesians. The later Timorese were not seafarers, rather they were land focussed peoples who did not make contact with other islands and peoples by sea. Early European explorers report that the island had a number of small chiefdoms or princedoms in the early 16th century.

US is no longer a full democracy, EIU warns America's score fell to 7.98 last year from 8.05 in 2015, below the 8.00 threshold for a full democracy, the EIU announced in a report on Wednesday. That put the world's largest economy on the same footing as Italy, a country known for its fractious politics. A flawed democracy is a country with free elections but weighed down by weak governance, an underdeveloped political culture and low levels of political participation, according to the EIU. Other flawed democracies in 2016 included Japan, France, Singapore, South Korea and India, the report said. However, Washington can't point fingers at President Donald Trump for the nation's downgrade. "The U.S. has been teetering on the brink of becoming a flawed democracy for several years, and even if there had been no presidential election in 2016, its score would have slipped below 8.00," the report explained. "Trust in political institutions is an essential component of well-functioning democracies.
monterey california History of Italy History of Italy can be said to have started in the 20th century BC, when earliest accounts record the presence of Italic peoples in present-day central Italy. Linguistically, they were divided into Oscans, Umbrians and Latins. Later the Latin culture became dominant, as Rome emerged as a powerful city-state around 350 BC. The Roman Empire later dominated Western Europe and the Mediterranean for many centuries, making immeasurable contributions to humanity. The new Kingdom of Italy, established in 1861, quickly modernized and built a large colonial empire, colonizing parts of Africa, and countries along the Mediterranean. In 1946, as a result of a Constitutional Referendum, the monarchy was abolished.[2] The new republic was proclaimed on 2 June 1946. Origins of the name[edit] The name "Italy" (Italia) can be traced back to ancient times for the peninsula, though it was initially designated for the region of the lower part of Southern Italy by Greek settlers. Prehistoric Italy[edit]
Iraqi Arabic Mesopotamian Arabic, also known as Iraqi Arabic, is a continuum of mutually intelligible Arabic varieties native to the Mesopotamian basin of Iraq as well as spanning into central and northern Syria,[2] western Iran,[2] southeastern Turkey,[3] and spoken in Iraqi diaspora communities. In its various forms, it is the official vernacular of Iraq.[citation needed] History[edit] Due to Iraq's inherent multiculturalism as well as history, Iraqi Arabic in turn bears extensive borrowings in its lexicon from Aramaic, Akkadian, Persian, Kurdish and Turkish. Varieties[edit] Different Arabic dialects in the Arab world Mesopotamian Arabic has two major varieties. The southern (Gelet) group includes a Tigris dialect cluster, of which the best-known form is Baghdadi Arabic, and a Euphrates dialect cluster, known as Furati (Euphrates Arabic).

Constitución española de 1812 La Constitución Política de la Monarquía Española, más conocida como Constitución española de 1812 o Constitución de Cádiz,[2] conocida popularmente como la Pepa,[3][nota 1] fue promulgada por las Cortes Generales españolas reunidas extraordinariamente en Cádiz el 19 de marzo de 1812. Se le ha otorgado una gran importancia histórica por tratarse de la primera Constitución promulgada en España,[nota 2] además de ser una de las más liberales de su tiempo. Oficialmente estuvo en vigor solo dos años, desde su promulgación hasta su derogación en Valencia el 4 de mayo de 1814, tras el regreso a España del borbón Fernando VII.[5] Posteriormente se volvió a aplicar desde el 8 de marzo de 1820, cuando en Madrid (España), Fernando VII es obligado a jurar la Constitución española de 1812, estando vigente durante el Trienio Liberal (1820-1823), así como durante un breve período en 1836-1837, bajo el gobierno progresista que preparaba la Constitución de 1837.
