  By   NICK LIOUDIS  Updated Sep 24, 2020 The gold standard is a monetary system where a country's currency or paper money has a value directly linked to gold. With the  gold standard , countries agreed to convert paper money into a fixed amount of gold. A country that uses the gold standard sets a fixed price for gold and buys and sells gold at that price. That fixed price is used to determine the value of the currency. For example, if the U.S. sets the  price of gold  at $500 an ounce, the value of the dollar would be 1/500th of an ounce of gold.

China’s colossal infrastructure investments may usher in a new era of trade and growth for economies in Asia and beyond. But skeptics worry that China is laying a debt trap for borrowing governments. WRITTEN BY Andrew Chatzky and James McBride UPDATED Last updated January 28, 2020 Summary The Belt and Road Initiative, reminiscent of the Silk Road, is a massive infrastructure project that would stretch from East Asia to Europe. Some analysts see the project as a disturbing expansion of Chinese power, and the United States has struggled to offer a competing vision. The initiative has stoked opposition in some countries involved in Belt and Road that have taken on high levels of debt.

Stanley Kubrick trying his best...to look like a camera In between the Golden Age of Hollywood that ended in the late 50's and the New Hollywood that began in the early 70's, to me, one director stands out: Stanley Kubrick. Kubrick was the creative force behind many of the most significant and iconic films ever made, and to this day, his work is closely studied in film schools and discussed elsewhere worldwide. A jack-of-all-trades and a master of most, Kubrick directed, wrote or co-wrote, and produced the majority of his films, most of which even the most casual movie-goer has seen, or at least heard of.

This article is part of a continuing series on the Constitution of the United States and the 27 Amendments, which are part of the Constitution. Each will be addressed in a separate post as time permits, and each reader is urged to read each for themselves, so as to be familiar with the text and the meaning of each Amendment. AMENDMENT II: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. I will endeavor to keep putting up various posts and movies, but I have some very pressing issues that I must address for the time being. Analysis and commentary are welcomed.

The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress is a four-engined heavy bomber developed in the 1930s for the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC). Competing against Douglas and Martin for a contract to build 200 bombers, the Boeing entry (prototype Model 299/XB-17) outperformed both competitors and exceeded the Air Corps' performance specifications.

From Wikipedia: The Vought F4U Corsair is an American fighter aircraft that saw service primarily in World War II and the Korean War. Designed and initially manufactured by Chance Vought, the Corsair was soon in great demand; additional production contracts were given to Goodyear, whose Corsairs were designated FG, and Brewster, designated F3A. The Corsair was designed and operated as a carrier-based aircraft and entered service in large numbers with the U.S. Navy in late 1944 and early 1945. It quickly became one of the most capable carrier-based fighter-bombers of World War II. Some Japanese pilots regarded it as the most formidable American fighter of World War II, and its naval aviators achieved an 11:1 kill ratio. Yet early problems with carrier landings and logistics allowed it to be eclipsed as the dominant carrier-based fighter by the Grumman F6F Hellcat, powered by the same Double Wasp engine first flown on the Corsair's first prototype in 1940. Instead, the Corsair...
