Civilization in the Caribbean did not begin with the Europeans. Indigenous people lived in the Caribbean long before the arrival of the Europeans. If anything, the Europeans are responsible for the diversity of races in the Caribbean.

What is the Wilhelm Gustloff?

The Wilhelm Gustloff ( Hitler's Titanic ) was a German Ocean liner built in 1935. During World war 2 ( WW2), she wasn't turned into a troopship, instead she carried Germans fleeing back to Germany. This also explanins why the Wilhelm Gustloff was carring more than then thousand passengers ( two and a half times her capacity). The Wilhelm Gustloff entered the Baltic sea on January 11, 1945. On that very same day, the Sovet submarine S-13 departed Finland to hunt German targets, and the Wilhelm Gustloff was on the list. On January 30, 1945, submarine spotted the Wilhelm Gustloff with all her portholes out (windows open). At 9:16 p.m. , three torpedoes were fired from S-13, striking the ship all on the port side ( Looking forward and to your left ), cutting power instantly. She beagn to gain a heavy list to port, so muck untill she sank. Only around 1000 passengers made it to the lifeboats and can be registered as survivors, sadly, more than 9000 went down with the ship.


What is the supportive treatment of diabetes?

The supportive treatment of diabetes Actually all the measures taken apart from the drugs is adjuvant therapy or supportive therapy. My experience (which can not be a prescription but a kind of clue to the approach and attitude) is, the supportive treatment proves more useful and effective. My blood pp (post prandial i.e. two hour after food) glucose was not coming down below 300 mg inspite of 2000 mg of metformin and glimeperide 2 mg and 80 mg of gliaclazise. The first thing I did was defy the fear of any situation imaginable. Usually medical doctors get afraid due to the thoughts of horrendous complications of diabetes, which they read in their currculum. Hence I was also getting worried and extremely anxious by thought of misery and helplessness. I could overcome fear, in my opinion, due to the practice of remembering God i. e. true self, through the practice of remembering His name. This is called NAMASMARAN in Sanskrit, Hindi, Marathi and many languages in India. The practice of NAMASMARAN appears wired and irrational to many. Even I used to think that way. But I realized later that it could rescue me from the distressing and suffocating negative and positive ideas and thoughts and helps me merge with myself. This is a great experience of freedom from the prison which apparently I myself created in the state of ignorance! Believe in me, no other measures such as getting more money, more fame, more tangible success in the form accolades, drinking, socializing, chit chatting, chatting on net, partying, movies, picnics, music and even the tenacious practice of pranayam and yoga could not do it, in my case! In the course of the practice of NAMASMARAN I became more and more oriented to the most cherished aspects of my life and began to get involved in them, on priority basis and in spite of distractions and disturbances! Writing in wikianswers is a part of it. As a result of this buoyancy, I began to feel that every moment and every good or bad situation in life is a great opportunity to grow within and merge with my true self (which is said to be not different from universal self). So I began to sleep well and get up early, began to take bath every day, twice, beagn drinking water every morning and began rubbing my gums and palate regularly happily and enthusiastically. I began taking salad and and sprouted methi (fenugreek seeds) without a stressful sick feeling of compulsion and a sick a feeling of being a miserable and helpless patient! I began to explore other possibilities and began consuming (Homeopathic) acid phos 30, lactic acid 30 and sygygium mother tincture and (Ayurvedic) standard preparations. I began consumption of juice of ginger, amala, bitter gourd, turmeric, pudina, neem, tulsi etc. with joy. I beagn to climb the stairs regularly and avoid the lift i.e. elevators with a sense of victory. I also began foot massage, accupressure, eye exercises and yogasana and pranayam with great thrill and assurance to grow within and achieve and enjoy the profoundest romance in life. Presently my blood sugar pp has came down to 90 mg to 101 mg ( the tests were repeated four times to confirm the accuracy of results) with almost half the dose of metformin and without glimeperide. There can be many more tools in the repertire of therapy of diabetes, but I have shared my experience in brief. I know nothing is certain and permanent. Nothing is "absolute truth" including what I have written. Nothing can be gauranteed to benefit yet another person. But the feeling underlying this sharing is eternal and universal!


What direction does electricity flow in a simple circuit?

This is a very complicated question in reality. in a simple Dc circuit (i.e. a battery driven circuit) there are 2 way's that current is talked about. the reason is historic, so here goes a very brief answer. When people first beagn to identify how current flowed in circuits there was a school of thought that a sort of liquid flowed in electric circuits, and the driver (battery) had parts that had an excess of the liquid, and parts that had less. The bits with more were positive + and the bits with less were lacking (negative) - Naturally the liquid would try to balance the circuit, and so current was said to flow from positive to neagtive. This is referred to as conventional current. so Conventional current is said to flow from positive to negative. Thanks to the work of Earnest Rutherford and Niels Bohr (a student of rutherford) we now know that electric current flows as a result of electrons in the wire bumping along the wire jumping from atom to atom. This actually means that in reality current should have been flowing from negative (a surplus store of electrons) to positive (a lack of electrons) to avoid confusion, a new term was coined. Electron Flow. so Electron Flow is from Negative to Positive. Now to your question. How does electricity flow in a simple circuit. A Battery has 2 plates, one charged with a surplus of electrons, and one lacking electrons. When a circuit is closed, the difference in the potential of the plates (called potential difference, and measured in Volts) causes electrons to be pushed into one end of the wire at the negative terminal, while a strong pull is made on the other end of the wire by the positive terminal. The electron at the negative terminal pushes its way onto the copper atom, making it's charge unbalance, so it lets one of its electrons go, this free electron, moves on the next atom ... and so on, literally bumping electrons along the wire in the direction of pull, created by the battery. finally an electron exists the wire into the battery and one electron has been transfered to balance the battery charge. The stronger the force (Voltage) the faster the electrons flow, this continues until the driving force (battery) is balanced (discharged) when we say the battery is flat. Hope this makes it a bit easier to understand what is happening, even if I can't exactly answer the question But I suspect your answer should be Electron Flow in a simple electrical circuit is from Negative to positive.


How far had Stresemann succeeded in solving Germanys problems by 1929?

PROMISED TO CONTINUE REPARATIONS PAYMENT AND STOPPED PASSIVE RESISTANCE ( P)>- so helped to solve the problem of French invasion of Ruhr - workers went back to work and (E)- meant that France could get the goods to pay the reparations, so she left the Ruhr, also solved hyperinflation as goods was being produced (E)- THUS: Because of his willingness to solve the problems of Ruhr crisis, the Allies were willing to open negotiation on reparations (L) payment INTRODUCED NEW CURRENCY (P)>- Replaced the worthless German marks with a new currency called the RENTENMARK (E)- this solved the problem of the currency losing value and hyperinflation because people began to have confidence in the currency again- THIS: the new German currency stablised the value of money and price beagn to return to normal NEGOTIATED DAWES PLAN (P)- this was signed in agreement by the Allied countries - France, Britain and USA - Americans provided LOANS (800 million gold marks) (E) and allowed the Germans to start repaying their reparations bills and spread their payments over a LONGER period- helped to solve the problem of reparations as her economy could recover with the loans (E)-THUS - could afford to pay reparations again (L) NEGOTIATED YOUNG PLAN 1929 (P)>- reduced the reparations payment still further. (E)- because Germany showed her willingness to co-operate with the Allied countries and this improved Germany relations with them (E)-THUS - withdrawal of Allied troops from Germany by 1930 and 1926 Germany was allowed to join the League of Nations (L) ENJOYED ECONOMIC PROSPERITY (P)- After recovering from the crisis in 1923, foreign banks (mostly American) were willing to loan Germany vast sums of money. With this money 3 million new homes, new roads and railways were built. (E)- As a result German industry produced more goods and exports increased (E)- THUS Germany seem the most modern and prosperous country outside of the USA and this led to political stability - Weimar party won elections and more stable government - extremists / opposition parties like Nazis and communists did not gain support because Germans were happy.(L) BROUGHT POLITICAL STABILITY (P)>- 9 November 1923, Hitler organised the Munich Putsch - Hitler expected to gain power through rebellion because hyperinflation had caused resentment and anger amongst the German people and Hitler thought they would support him in a putsch (E)- HOWEVER - Stresemann managed to win support of army and police who helped him crush rebellions - Revolt was successfully crushed by the police and Nazis and Hitler arrested and sentenced to 5 yrs jail - Nazi Party was greatly weakened as many Nazis and the leader was arrested. - The Nazi party was banned and Hitler was not allowed to speak publicly (until 1928) (E)- THUS - Extremist parties did badly at the elections - Nazi Party remained the smallest party in the Reichstag up to 1928 - no support from people = Political stability as Stresemann managed to win support of German people- were happy with the economic prosperity brought by Stresemann's policies and were uninterested in extremists politics. The Weimar government was more stable with a Grand Coalition government after the election of 1928 and had 60% support from Reichstag (L)
