Thomas Woodrow Wilson (December 28, 1856 – February 3, 1924) was the 28th President of the United States from 1913 to 1921 and leader of the Progressive Movement. He served as President of Princeton University from 1902 to 1910 and was Governor of New Jersey from 1911 to 1913. He led his Democratic Party to win control of both the White House and Congress in 1912.
Wilson induced a conservative Democratic Congress to pass a progressive legislative agenda, unparalleled until the New Deal in 1933.[1] This included the Federal Reserve Act, Federal Trade Commission Act, the Clayton Antitrust Act, the Federal Farm Loan Act and an income tax. Child labor was temporarily curtailed by the Keating–Owen Act of 1916. Wilson also averted a railroad strike and an ensuing economic crisis through passage of the Adamson Act, imposing an 8-hour workday for railroads.[2] At the outbreak of World War I in 1914, Wilson maintained a policy of neutrality.
Narrowly re-elected in 1916 around the slogan "He kept us out of war", Wilson's second term was dominated by American entry into World War I. That year he proclaimed June 14 as Flag Day in a patriotic speech that bore out the nation's anti-German sentiment.[3] In April 1917, when Germany persisted with submarine warfare, Wilson asked Congress to declare war in order to make "the world safe for democracy." The United States conducted military operations with the Allies, without a formal alliance. During the war, Wilson focused on diplomacy and financial considerations, leaving military particulars in the hands of the Army. He loaned billions of dollars to Britain, France and other Allies, allowing them to finance their own war effort. On the home front in 1917, he began the first large-scale draft and borrowed billions of dollars in war funding through the newly established Federal Reserve Bank and Liberty Bonds. He set up the War Industries Board, promoted labor union cooperation, supervised agriculture and food production through the Lever Act and assumed control of the railroads.
He also suppressed anti-war movements with the Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918, a crackdown which broadened and intensified to include real and suspected anarchists and communists during the First Red Scare of 1919–1920. In 1918 after years of opposition, Wilson was pressured to change his position on women's suffrage, which he then advocated as a war measure.[4] Though he sought and received support from many in the black community, he permitted racial segregation of the Post Office, the U.S. Treasury Department, and the Navy.[5][6]
Wilson took personal control of negotiations when an armistice was requested by Germany, and in 1918 he issued his principles for peace, the Fourteen Points. In 1919 he went to Paris to promote the formation of a League of Nations and concluded the Treaty of Versailles. Wilson then suffered a severe stroke, and was unable to secure Senate ratification of the Treaty. By 1920 his disability [more]

ohn Moody (1868 - 1958) was a self-taught reformer who had a strong entrepreneurial drive and a firm belief about the needs of the investment community -- as well as considerable journalistic talent. Relying on his assessment of the market's needs, John Moody & Company published Moody's Manual of Industrial and Miscellaneous Securities in 1900, the company's founding year. The manual provided information and statistics on stocks and bonds of financial institutions, government agencies, manufacturing, mining, utilities, and food companies. Within two months the publication had sold out. By 1903, circulation had exploded, and Moody's Manual was known from coast to coast.
When the stock market crashed in 1907, Moody's company did not have adequate capital to survive, and he was forced to sell his manual business.
John Moody returned to the financial market in 1909 with a new idea: instead of simply collecting information on the property, capitalization, and management of companies, he now offered investors an analysis of security values. His company would publish a book that analyzed the railroads and their outstanding securities. It offered concise conclusions about their relative investment quality. He expressed his conclusions using letter rating symbols adopted from the mercantile and credit rating system that had been used by the credit-reporting firms since the late 1800s. Moody had now entered the business of analyzing the stocks and bonds of America's railroads, and with this endeavor, he became the first to rate public market securities.
In 1909, Moody's Analyses of Railroad Investments described for readers the analytic principles that Moody used to assess a railroad's operations, management, and finance. The new manual quickly found a place in investors' hands. In 1913, he expanded his base of analyzed companies, launching his evaluation of industrial companies and utilities. By that time, the "Moody's ratings" had become a factor in the bond market. On July 1, 1914, Moody's Investors Service was incorporated. That same year, Moody began expanding rating coverage to bonds issued by US cities and other municipalities. By 1924, Moody's ratings covered nearly 100 percent of the US bond market.
Moody's continued to publish and monitor ratings during the Great Depression, when bond default rates skyrocketed but few bonds highly-rated by Moody's missed payments. In the 1970s, Moody's ratings were further extended to the commercial paper market and to bank deposits. Also in the 1970s, the major rating agencies including Moody's began the practice of charging issuers as well as investors for rating services. The rationale for this change was, and is, that issuers should pay for the substantial value objective ratings provide in terms of market access. In addition, it was recognized that the increasing scope and complexity of the capital markets demanded staffing at higher levels of compensation than could be received from publication subscrip [more]

Opinions are like flare, which can turn either way: they can spread like wild fire or encapsulate themselves within the bounds of personal integrity, and thus illuminate. I started writing opinions in the year 2008 through my blogs. I admit at times I did go wild with unsubstantiated accusations and surmises, leading to risky speculations and irresponsible opinions. Recently, I published a comprehensive book of my writings entitled "Writings @ Ankur Mutreja", and the present book is a short selection of my opinions presented therein with emphasis on responsible writing. I am an advocate by profession; therefore, most of my opinions have a tint of law; in the first part, the expression is simple; so, it is for lay persons who won’t mind a little exercise of mind in the legal arena; whereas, in the second part, I have gone whole hog with law, and I admit those without formal legal training may find it convenient to ignore. My style of writing is terse and pointed, but at times I have gone overboard like in one particular opinion on Aarushi murder, where emotions and logic intermingled in an expanded narrative. Rights, especially privacy and equality, are my area of focus; therefore most of my opinions herein; i.e., the ones discussing Brain Research, NCTC, Sting Operations, LGBTs, Prostitution, SC/ST quotas, and AADHAR/NPR; are focused on these two areas. In my selection, I have tried steering clear of politics, but politics is nevertheless all encompassing; however, one opinion on tussle between Delhi Police and AAP is majorily political; another political opinion, but with a strong emphasis on law, is the discussion of Zakia Jaffrey case. There were few very big events in the recent past; one amongst them is the Nirbhaya murder, and I have also discussed it, though my take is slightly different: I think the murder has been manipulated by the vested interests. I am a resident of an unauthorized colony; therefore, my opinion on Unauthorized Colonies has found place in the present selection; though I admit had the case been different, I wouldn’t have included it; so please bear with my little bias. Though I have no expertise in international affairs, I have taken a plunge into it albeit within the ambit of my legal training; the topics discussed are Indo-Pak relationship and Julian Assange.Finally, in the second part, I have discussed various judgments and laws. I would recommend anybody to read at least my critique of Aarushi Judgement. Other than that I have critiqued Binayak Sen Judgement and Aruna Shaunbaug Judgement. In the second part, I have also critiqued RTI Act and Amendments in IPC post Nirbhaya murder.Enjoy Reading! Ankur Mutreja. [more]

THE MAGICAL TRIPLE BRILLIANT SEVENS PROPHECY

This book is full of magic and power, connects us to the new era we are living through with futuristic visions and prophecies of the future. This revelation 777 represents issues of the second millennium, such as the abstraction of words and the handling of images similar to a pictorial movement emerged in the year 1949 - POP ART - which is characterized by the use of iconography of popular culture that were taken from the media, as in the case of advertisements, comic books and other publications. In this opportunity, it is shown how art has been made with the famous masterpiece "The Vitruvian Man" by Leonardo da Vinci.
Part of the present investigation has been based on coincidences relative to my life with the environment, through which I have managed to confirm that I am the great awaited Vitruvian Man II. To consider myself a Titan, has allowed me to understand what every person belonging to this world must know to obtain their keys to success.
In this prophecy I have shown that I am Vitruvian Man II, with a kind of POP ART, and I have highlighted images of NASA, Coins and Poker Cards that remind us of the consumerism that occurs in cities where the capital market flows. The image of the casino roulette is used to illustrate the chance of our time, at the moment of witnessing a possible extraterrestrial contact in the year 2251.
The coincidences based on numerology with the number 7 and personal data, which can not be modified, are a proof of the accuracy of what I show you today. With the intention of corroborating my discovery, I undertook the task of traveling to mark in the world that I am Vitruvian Man II, (the logo used by some astronauts in their space suit) for that purpose I made the crossing AUSTIN, AUSTRALIA, ARGENTINA, AUSTRIA that they are related to the word ASTRONAUT.
The creation of new economic systems, sources of energy, means of transport, or even as our physical form will be, can hardly be known with the way we think today. This book opens the doors to a different world, where the high probabilities stand out that the English language will be the most used by the majority of human beings. Taking into consideration that this language today dominates more than 80% of the economic operations and the media, I visualize it as a fundamental tool for the future that will be unveiled to you. In this sense, I show you 77 verbs, 777 words, and various practical sentences that are used in the TOEFL test.
Philosophers such as Albert Einstein marked the structure of today's society and I, Vitruvian Man II, was born on the same day as this famous person, (March 14) and therefore I want to show you how to be the future. However, it is important to emphasize that the knowledge about how our ancestors have solved the problems has been the method that most societies have applied until now.
Words like miracle, religious beliefs and / or extraterrestrial approaches have been pillars of what we live today. However, thinking about prophecies that are transformed into ideas to do good is what has been beyond the reach of humanity, preventing them from processing what is really behind our true being. The energy focused on self-sustaining procedures as well as mutual values in the study of emerging patterns, will be the variables that will take us to the New Era.
I have discovered the New Age Leoil full of wonders, which when mixed with my experiences, form what for you will be discovered in this book

My goal is to help you travel this New Era, which others have already called the Aquarian Age, which was established since December 21, 2012.
I'm in a picture with a hat of Arlequin, doing some wizardry with the coins of the Italian euro and 1000 Bolivares, to announce the arrival of the New Age Leoil. You can witness a future new civilization with its aquarium casino spaceship called Leoil and it is interesting to note that I show the 7 wonders of the world.
Some attempts to understand the future were made in the past without apparent relevance, because society has been underestimating areas such as numerology and chance. Despite this, I took the liberty to use them without prejudice and when I understood about their potential I found a totally new world; full of unexplored patterns that until now were only part of science fiction. This knowledge has given me the power that I want to share with you today: A celestial book that can only be developed every 1000 years in generations that are at the turn of the millennium
This phenomenal work has a special symbolism made with imaginative and brilliant language, full of a certain character of advertising, numerology and astrology. In this book it is emphasized that the internet is the prophetic medium to visualize what is to come. It can be observed that I have discovered with my images and prophecies how the Second Millennium technology will be for the future history of humanity. [more]
