Who invented the writing pen?

The first crude ballpoint pen was patented in 1888 by John Loud, an American leather tanner.The next stage of development came almost fifty years after Loud's patent, with an improved version invented in Hungary in 1935 by LÃ¡szlÃ³ JÃ³zsef BÃrÃ³ (September 29, 1899 - November 24, 1985) and his brother.It was john loud in 1888 ..and then redisigned by laslo biro in 1938.It went through many developments and patents, first begun in 1888 by John Loud with the first patent. It didn't work well, even though he got funding to produce it in Argentina with the help of the government there, it kind of flopped. Something to do with gravity. It went through many more stages based on his patent, and in 1938 Laszlo Biro was given credit for inventing the first ballpoint pen. It still went on thru many changes to get to the one we know today.

Controversial incidents that have occurred during the Olympics?

* U.S. athlete Jim Thorpe was stripped of his gold medals in the decathlon and pentathlon after it iwas learned that he played professional minor league baseball three years earlier. In solidarity, the decathlon silver medalist, Hugo Wieslander, refuses to accept the medals when they are offered to him. The gold medals were restored to Thorpe in 1983, 30 years after his death. * After winning the silver in equestrian dressage, the Swede Bertil Sandström was demoted to last for clicking to his horse to encourage it. He asserted that it was a creaking saddle making the sounds. * The I.O.C. expelled American Ernest Lee Jahnke, the son of a German immigrant, for encouraging athletes to boycott Hitler's Berlin Games. He was replaced by United States Olympic Committee president Avery Brundage, who supported the Games. * In the cycling match sprint final, German Toni Merkens fouled Dutchman Arie van Vliet. Instead of disqualification, Merkens was fined 100 Reichsmarks and kept the gold. * The three East German competitors in the women's luge event were disqualified for illegally heating their runners prior to each run. * In protest against the New Zealand rugby team's tour of South Africa, Tanzania led a boycott of 22 African nations after the IOC refused to bar New Zealand. Some of the teams withdrew after the first day. * Although approximately half of the 24 countries which boycotted the 1976 Summer Olympics participated in these, the Games were disrupted by another boycott, led by the United States. 65 countries withdrew from the Games in protest of the 1979 Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan. Eighty nations participated, the lowest number since 1956. * In the wake of the American-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, 14 Eastern Bloc countries including the Soviet Union, East Germany and Cuba, boycotted these Olympics (the USSR announced its intention not to participate on May 8, 1984). The boycott influenced a large number of events that were normally dominated by the absent countries. * After the mass boycotts of the Olympics in 1976, 1980 and 1984, the Seoul Games were again boycotted, led by North Korea and followed by Cuba, on the basis of South Korea's refusal to co-host the Olympics with North Korea, which rejected all compromise. However it was an early, visible triumph of nordpolitik that no other Communist nations boycotted the Games despite being allies of North Korea. * Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson was stripped of his gold medal for the 100 metres when he tested positive for stanozolol after the event. * In a highly controversial 3-2 judge's decision, South Korean fighter Park Si-Hun defeated American Roy Jones Jr., despite Jones pummeling Park for three rounds, landing 86 punches to Park's 32. Allegedly, Park himself apologized to Jones afterwards. One judge shortly thereafter admitted the decision was a mistake, and all three judges voting against Jones were eventually suspended. Most observers still believe the judges were either bribed or otherwise coerced to vote for the local fighter by Korean officials. However, the official IOC investigation concluding in 1997 found no wrongdoing, and the IOC still officially stands by the decision. A similarly controversial decision went against American Michael Carbajal. These incidents led Olympic organizers to establish a new scoring system for Olympic boxing. * Jeff Gillooly, the ex-husband of figure skater Tonya Harding, arranges for an attack on her closest rival, Nancy Kerrigan, prior to the start of the Games. Both women compete, with Kerrigan winning the silver and Harding doing very poorly. Harding was later banned for life. * Romanian Andreea Răducan became the first gymnast to be stripped of a medal after testing positive for pseudoephedrine, a banned drug. Răducan, 16, took Nurofen, a common over-the-counter medicine, to help treat a fever. The Romanian team doctor who gave her the drug in two cold medicine pills was expelled from the Games and suspended for four years. The gold medal was finally awarded to Răducan's team mate Simona Amânar, who had obtained silver. Răducan was allowed to keep her other medals, a gold from the team competition and a silver from the vault. * A number of I.O.C. members are forced to resign after it is uncovered that they have accepted inappropriately valuable "gifts" in return for voting for Salt Lake City to hold the Games. : Further information: 2002 Winter Olympic bid scandal * Dual gold medals are awarded in pairs figure skating, to Canadian pair David Pelletier and Jamie Salé and to Russian pair Yelena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze after allegations of collusion among judges. * Three cross-country skiers are disqualified after blood tests indicate the use of darbepoetin,. The skiers are Johann Mühlegg of Spain, and Larissa Lazutina and Olga Danilova of Russia. Following a December 2003 ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), the I.O.C in February 2004 withdraws all the doped athletes' medals of the Games, amending the result lists accordingly. * Short-track speedskating: Korean skater Kim Dong-Sung was disqualified for cross-tracking as he crossed the finish line of the men's 1500 meter final. This disqualification handed the gold to American Apolo Anton Ohno even though Ohno was decisively beaten by Kim. Some Korean fans alleged the decision was made in retaliation by the USOC for the controversial 1988 judge's decision giving Korean boxer Park Si-Hun a gold medal at the expense of American Roy Jones Jr. : 2004 Summer Olympics * Kenyan boxer David Munyasia tested positive for cathine and was subsequently banned from competing by the IOC. * Greek baseball players Andrew James Brack tested positive for stanozolol and teammate Derek Nicholson tested positive for diuretics during a pre-Olympic drug test.

In November 2005 she was reinstated as bronze medalist due to a testing error. * Irish showjumper Cian O'Connor's horse, Waterford Crystal, tested positive for fluphenazine and zuclophenthixol months after receiving a gold medal. The subsequent investigation was hampered by several suspicious events. When O'Connor requested a second test, the horse's B urine sample was stolen enroute to a laboratory.

His case was dismissed by US district Judge Susan Mollway. * In the women's 100m hurdles, world champion and favorite Perdita Felicien of Canada stepped on the first hurdle, tumbling to the ground and taking Irina Shevchenko of Russia with her. The Russian Federation filed an unsuccessful protest, pushing the medal ceremony back a day. Track officials debated for about two hours before rejecting the Russians' arguments. The race was won by American Joanna Hayes in Olympic-record time. * Clayton Stanley, a member of the American volleyball team at the Olympic tournament, was arrested in Athens one day after the games had ended.

What was going on in Germany before and when Hitler was in power?

That would require a very lenghthy answer, so I would suggest that you read, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.Before the rise of HitlerDespite the Treaty of Versailles, reparations and all that, and despite hyperinflation (stabilized late in 1923) the republic established in Germany in 1918-19 was quite successful for a while - against all the odds. In 1928 the Nazis won only 12 out of about 600 seats in the Reichstag and Hitler was widely regarded as a funny little man who ranted and raved like crazy in public! However, the German economy was more exposed to short term borrowing than any other in Europe in the 1920s, and the effects of the Great Depression caused an almost permanent political crisis from 1930 onwards. From 1930 the country was largely ruled under emergency powers (in other words, by decree). Germany was already deeply divided between Left and Right, and this division rapidly intensified. The situation was made worse by the fact that Germany lacked a conventional, broadly based conservative party, so much of the hardline Right-wing vote went to the Nazis.By late 1932 many politicians felt that the political structures were deadlocked and that something drastic had to happen to continue the process of government. On the advice of the German Nationalists (the DNVP) and some others, President Hindenburg invited Hitler to form a coalition government of Nationalists and Nazis. At the time it was assumed that the Nazis were the junior partners in the coalition. Within a few weeks Hitler upstaged the DNVP, established a dictatorship (March 1933) and two months later Germany became a one-party state.Hindsight can distort. It would be wrong to regard the whole period of the Weimar Republic as one long build-up to Nazi rule. Until Germany was hit by the Great Depression, the liberals, moderate socialists (Social Democrats - SPD) and moderate conservatives (DVP) were in the ascendant and formed most of the German governments of the 1920s.After the Rise of HitlerWhen Hitler gained power, the economy stimulated and many jobs were provided. Hitler began working at stopping any possible internal threats.Hitler slowly began encouraging the discrimination of the Jewish people. Hitler began invading and taking over surround countries, many of which were previously Germany but were lost after World War 1. Hitler's territorial demands grew and grew, even though he made promises to end them. These countries were under-developed and didn't stand a chance. Some of them just gave up, and as in the case of Austria, cheered the invaders more like a parade than a new occupying force.Hitler then invaded the country of Poland, which although was largely inferior, decided to strongly oppose Hitler and even mounted their small and ancient armies. In one case, Polish soldiers even rode with lances on horses against the revolutionary German Panzer tanks. Even though Poland fell to the invading forces, an alliance of countries (the Allies) jumped to the scene with a declaration of war. This move surprised Hitler, as his high command assured him the allies would not declare war so quickly.Hitler took a swift victory in France by taking his tanks through the Ardennes around the forces. Hitler then conquered France. Another defeat of this magnitude would have undoubtefully killed the Allies (Note: The Allies did not include the Americans at this time).Meanwhile, Hitler was not interning Jews in death camps, although he was not purposely killing them yet. They often died of being over-worked, starvation, malnutriton, or various other reasons. Jews from conquered countries were also placed in concentration camps.Hitler's nation was more enthusiastic than ever at the swift and great victories. Hitler soon took over all of Europe except England, which he left since he could not sufficiently weaken's air force, the RAF.The war then proceeded to North Africa, where it flip flopped. In December of 1941, America declared war after the bombing of Pearl Harbour. The Allies soon pushed all the way to the end, and the Axis fled North Africa.At this point, the Nazis began killing off the Jewish people on purpose. Death chambers were established. Prisoners were told they were going to take showers, then killed by the hundreds by poisonus gas. The German people remained strong, as Hitler was ruthless against any comments but 100% patriotic ones.In 1944, Normandy was invaded. The invasion was successful, and on the Eastern front, Hitler was being pushed back by the Soviets. Soon enough, Hitler was cornered. They tried moving POW's and Jews further away from the on-moving troops. They began killing as many Jews as possible. They even tried destroying documents of proof of what happened. However, it was clear when the troops liberated the camps what had been going on.The German view at this point was generally very depressed. They felt defeated, and the nation was split in half with the counter-part Soviets. Hitler committed suicide on May 1, 1945.
