The Democratic Party has more members than the Republican Party.

Democratic Party (United States) The Democratic Party is one of the two major contemporary political parties in the United States , along with the Republican Party . Tracing its heritage back to Thomas Jefferson and James Madison 's Democratic-Republican Party , the modern-day Democratic Party was founded around 1828 by Andrew Jackson , making it the world 's oldest active party .   The Democrats ' dominant worldview was once social conservativism and economic liberalism , while , especially in the rural South , populism was its leading characteristic . In 1912 , Theodore Roosevelt ran as a third-party candidate in the Progressive ( `` Bull Moose '' ) Party , leading to a switch of political platforms between the Democratic and Republican Party and Woodrow Wilson being elected as the first fiscally progressive Democrat . Since Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal coalition in the 1930s , the Democratic Party has also promoted a social-liberal platform , supporting social justice .   Today , the House Democratic caucus is composed mostly of progressives and centrists , with a smaller minority of conservative Democrats . The party 's philosophy of modern liberalism advocates social and economic equality , along with the welfare state . It seeks to provide government intervention and regulation in the economy . These interventions , such as the introduction of social programs , support for labor unions , affordable college tuitions , moves toward universal health care and equal opportunity , consumer protection , and environmental protection form the core of the party 's economic policy . The party has united with smaller liberal regional parties throughout the country , such as the Farmer -- Labor Party in Minnesota and the Nonpartisan League in North Dakota .   Well into the 20th century , the party had conservative pro-business and southern conservative-populist anti-business wings . The New Deal Coalition of 1932 -- 1964 attracted strong support from voters of recent European extraction -- many of whom were Catholics based in the cities . After Franklin D. Roosevelt 's New Deal of the 1930s , the pro-business wing withered outside the South . After the racial turmoil of the 1960s , most southern whites and many northern Catholics moved into the Republican Party at the presidential level . The once-powerful labor union element became smaller and less supportive after the 1970s . White Evangelicals and Southerners became heavily Republican at the state and local level in the 1990s . Racial and ethnic minorities in the U.S. such as ( but not limited to ) Jewish Americans , Hispanic Americans , Arabic Americans , and African Americans , tend to support the Democratic Party in proportions higher than their overall representation in American society . Overall , the Democratic Party has retained a membership lead over its major rival the Republican Party ( GOP ) .   15 Democrats have served as president under 16 administrations : the first was seventh president Andrew Jackson , who served from 1829 to 1837 ; Grover Cleveland served two nonconsecutive terms from 1885 to 1889 and 1893 to 1897 , and is thus counted twice ( as the 22nd and 24th president ) . The most recent was the 44th president Barack Obama , who held the office from 2009 to 2017 .   In the 115th Congress , following the 2016 elections , Democrats are the opposition party , holding a minority of seats in both the House of Representatives and the Senate . The party also holds a minority of governorships ( 16/50 ) , and state legislatures ( full control of 12/50 , split control of six others ) , though they do control the mayoralty of cities such as New York City , Los Angeles , Chicago , Houston , and Washington , D.C.


Absolute Beginners featured Patsy Kensit in a mainstream role in 2004.

Absolute Beginners (film) Absolute Beginners is a 1986 British rock musical film adapted from Colin MacInnes ' book of the same name about life in late 1950s London . The film was directed by Julien Temple , featured David Bowie and Sade , and Patsy Kensit in one of her first mainstream roles . The film was screened out of competition at the 1986 Cannes Film Festival .   Upon release , Absolute Beginners received immense coverage in the British media . At the time , the British film industry was perceived as being on the point of collapse ( with the recent failure of the film Revolution ) . However , the film was panned by critics and became a box office bomb . Some of the criticisms included stylistic anachronisms , such as the mini-skirt and decidedly 1980s music from the likes of The Style Council and Sade , the bowdlerisation of Kensit 's character ( Crepe Suzette had been depicted as a promiscuous `` negrophile '' in the book ) , and the casting of Bowie , who made it a condition of his musical contribution . Although the film was not a success , Bowie 's theme song was very popular in the UK and reached number two in the charts .   The commercial failure of Absolute Beginners and another film released about the same time , The Mission , led to the collapse of Goldcrest , a major British film studio .

Amazon Web Services featured tools for the connection of the networks of vehicles.

Internet of things The Internet of things ( IoT ) is the inter-networking of physical devices , vehicles ( also referred to as `` connected devices '' and `` smart devices '' ) , buildings , and other items embedded with electronics , software , sensors , actuators , and network connectivity which enable these objects to collect and exchange data . In 2013 the Global Standards Initiative on Internet of Things ( IoT-GSI ) defined the IoT as `` a global infrastructure for the information society , enabling advanced services by interconnecting ( physical and virtual ) things based on existing and evolving interoperable information and communication technologies '' and for these purposes a `` thing '' is `` an object of the physical world ( physical things ) or the information world ( virtual things ) , which is capable of being identified and integrated into communication networks '' . The IoT allows objects to be sensed or controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure , creating opportunities for more direct integration of the physical world into computer-based systems , and resulting in improved efficiency , accuracy and economic benefit in addition to reduced human intervention . When IoT is augmented with sensors and actuators , the technology becomes an instance of the more general class of cyber-physical systems , which also encompasses technologies such as smart grids , virtual power plants , smart homes , intelligent transportation and smart cities . Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system but is able to interoperate within the existing Internet infrastructure . Experts estimate that the IoT will consist of about 30 billion objects by 2020 .   Typically , IoT is expected to offer advanced connectivity of devices , systems , and services that goes beyond machine-to-machine ( M2M ) communications and covers a variety of protocols , domains , and applications . The interconnection of these embedded devices ( including smart objects ) , is expected to usher in automation in nearly all fields , while also enabling advanced applications like a smart grid , and expanding to areas such as smart cities .   `` Things '' , in the IoT sense , can refer to a wide variety of devices such as heart monitoring implants , biochip transponders on farm animals , electric clams in coastal waters , automobiles with built-in sensors , DNA analysis devices for environmental/food/pathogen monitoring , or field operation devices that assist firefighters in search and rescue operations . Legal scholars suggest to look at `` Things '' as an `` inextricable mixture of hardware , software , data and service '' .   These devices collect useful data with the help of various existing technologies and then autonomously flow the data between other devices . Current market examples include home automation ( also known as smart home devices ) such as the control and automation of lighting , heating ( like smart thermostat ) , ventilation , air conditioning ( HVAC ) systems , and appliances such as washer/dryers , robotic vacuums , air purifiers , ovens , or refrigerators/freezers that use Wi-Fi for remote monitoring .   As well as the expansion of Internet-connected automation into a plethora of new application areas , IoT is also expected to generate large amounts of data from diverse locations , with the consequent necessity for quick aggregation of the data , and an increase in the need to index , store , and process such data more effectively . IoT is one of the platforms of today 's Smart City , and Smart Energy Management Systems .   The term `` the Internet of Things '' was coined by Kevin Ashton of Procter & Gamble , later MIT 's Auto-ID Center , in 1999 .

The company AWS is a subsidiary of Amazon.com and provides on-demand cloud computing platforms to both individuals , companies and governments , on a paid subscription basis with a free-tier option available for 12 months . The technology allows subscribers to have at their disposal full-fledged virtual cluster of computers , available 24/7/365 , through the internet . AWS ' version of virtual computers have most of the attributes of a real computer including hardware ( CPU ( s ) & GPU ( s ) for processing , local/RAM memory , hard-disk/SSD storage ) ; a choice of operating systems ; networking ; and pre-loaded application software such as web servers , databases , CRM ... nearly anything . Each AWS system also virtualizes its console I/O ( keyboard , display , and mouse ) , allowing AWS subscribers to connect to their AWS system using a modern browser . The browser acts as a window into the virtual computer , letting subscribers log-in , configure and use their virtual systems just as they would a real physical computer . They can choose to deploy their AWS systems to provide internet-based services for their own and their customers ' benefit .   The AWS technology is implemented at server farms throughout the world , and maintained by the Amazon subsidiary . Fees are based on a combination of usage , the hardware/OS/software / networking features chosen by the subscriber , required availability , redundancy , security , and service options . Based on what the subscriber needs and pays for , they can reserve a single virtual AWS computer , a cluster of virtual computers , a physical ( real ) computer dedicated for their exclusive use , or even a cluster of dedicated physical computers . As part of the subscription agreement , Amazon manages , upgrades , and provides industry-standard security to each subscriber 's system . AWS services operate from many global geographical regions including 6 in North America .   In 2016 , AWS comprised more than 70 services spanning a wide range including compute , storage , networking , database , analytics , application services , deployment , management , mobile , developer tools , and tools for the Internet of Things . The most popular include Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud ( aka `` EC2 '' ) and Amazon Simple Storage Service ( aka `` S3 '' ) . Most services are not exposed directly to end users , but instead offer functionality through APIs for developers to use in their applications . Amazon Web Services ' offerings are accessed over HTTP , using the REST architectural style and SOAP protocol .   Amazon markets AWS to subscribers as a way of obtaining large scale computing capacity more quickly and cheaply than building an actual physical server farm . All services are billed based on usage , but each service measures usage in varying ways .

Journalist Ann Hornaday wrote : `` With its portrait of counterculture heroes raising their middle fingers to the uptight middle-class hypocrisies , Easy Rider became the cinematic symbol of the 1960s , a celluloid anthem to freedom , macho bravado and anti-establishment rebellion '' . Film critic Matthew Hays notes that , `` no other persona better signifies the lost idealism of the 1960s than that of Dennis Hopper '' .

Formed in 1991 , the group consists of rapper and vocalist Zack de la Rocha , bassist and backing vocalist Tim Commerford , guitarist Tom Morello , and drummer Brad Wilk . They draw inspiration from early heavy metal instrumentation , as well as hip hop acts such as Afrika Bambaataa , Public Enemy , the Beastie Boys , and Dutch crossover band Urban Dance Squad . Rage Against the Machine is well known for the members ' leftist and revolutionary political views , which are expressed in many of the band 's songs . As of 2010 , they had sold over 16 million records worldwide .   In 1992 , the band released its self-titled debut album , which became a commercial and critical success , leading to a slot in the 1993 Lollapalooza festival . In 2003 , the album was ranked number 368 on Rolling Stones list of the 500 greatest albums of all time . The band did not release a follow-up record until 1996 , with Evil Empire . The band 's third album , The Battle of Los Angeles , followed in 1999 , and in 2003 , the album was ranked number 426 on the same list . During their initial nine-year run , they became one of the most popular and influential bands in music history , according to music journalist Colin Devenish . They were also ranked No. 33 on VH1 's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock . The band had a large influence on the nu metal genre which came to prominence during the second half of the 1990s .   In 2000 , the band released the cover album Renegades . The same year , growing tensions over the direction of the band prompted de la Rocha to quit , leading to the band 's breakup . De la Rocha started a low-key solo career , while the rest of the band formed the rock supergroup Audioslave with Chris Cornell , then-former frontman of Soundgarden ; Audioslave recorded three albums before disbanding in 2007 . The same year , Rage Against the Machine announced a reunion and performed together for the first time in seven years at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2007 . Up until 2011 , the band continued to perform at more live venues and festivals around the world . In 2016 , Morello , Commerford and Wilk formed a new band , Prophets of Rage , with Chuck D and B-Real .


Audioslave Audioslave was an American rock supergroup formed in Los Angeles , California , in 2001 . The four-piece band consisted of Soundgarden lead singer/rhythm guitarist Chris Cornell , and Rage Against the Machine members Tom Morello ( lead guitar ) , Tim Commerford ( bass/backing vocals ) , and Brad Wilk ( drums ) . Critics first described Audioslave as a combination of Soundgarden and Rage Against the Machine , but by the band 's second album , Out of Exile , it was noted that they had established a separate identity . Audioslave 's sound was created by blending 1970s hard rock with 1990s alternative rock . Moreover , Morello incorporated his well-known , unconventional guitar solos into the mix . As with Rage Against the Machine , the band prided themselves on the fact that all sounds on their albums were produced using only guitar , bass , drums , and vocals .   In its six years of existence , Audioslave released three albums , received three Grammy nominations , sold more than 8 million records worldwide and became the first American rock band to perform an open-air concert in Cuba . Audioslave disbanded in February 2007 when Cornell issued a statement announcing that he was permanently leaving the band `` due to irresolvable personality conflicts as well as musical differences . '' The 2007 Rage Against the Machine reunion and tour involving the rest of the band as well as solo albums released that same year by Morello and Cornell cemented the supergroup 's permanent demise . On January 20 , 2017 , three days after announcing their reunion , Audioslave performed together for the first time in over a decade at Prophets of Rage 's Anti-Inaugural Ball .


Lock Up (American band) Lock Up was a rock band that featured Tom Morello on guitar before Rage Against the Machine was formed .   The band was founded by the original guitar player Mike Livingston ( formerly of The Mau-Mau 's ) and Kevin Wood on bass . They had previously played together in the band Ella and the Blacks , which also included Brian Grillo and Brendan Mullen ( founder of The Masque , the first L.A. punk rock club ) . Grillo became Lock Up 's lead singer . Grillo had worked several years before with Martin Atkins in Atkin 's Brian Brain project , and then was known in Los Angeles for fronting Brian Grillo 's Wild Coyote Review .   The original drummer was Michael Lee , ( later drummer with Sylvia Juncosa and with The Homebillies ) , who quit and was replaced briefly by D. H. Peligro , formerly of the Dead Kennedys and later in Red Hot Chili Peppers . After Peligro left , he was replaced by Vince Ostertag .   In early 1987 , Lock Up signed a production deal with Third Story Music , which was the company associated with Herb Cohen , by Evan Cohen , who later ran Manifesto Records . Cohen brought the band to the attention of Anna Statman , who was an A & R person at Slash Records . In 1988 , Statman moved to a new job at Geffen Records , and Lock Up was her first signing at Geffen , in mid-1988 .   Livingston had left Lock Up in late 1987 . In early 1988 , Livingston was replaced by Morello . Chris Beebe on bass completed the lineup that released Lock Up 's sole album on Geffen Records , Something Bitchin ' This Way Comes , which came out in 1989 . The title of the album was based on Ray Bradbury 's 1962 novel Something Wicked This Way Comes . Vince Ostertag was subsequently replaced by Jon Knox who played drums until the group disbanded .   Following the Lock Up break up , Jon encouraged bassist Tim Commerford and Zack de la Rocha to jam with Tom Morello and drummer Brad Wilk who unsuccessfully auditioned for Lock Up . This line-up went on to form Rage Against the Machine .   Most of Morello 's guitar with Lock Up is unlike his work with Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave . His solos , in contrast to Livingston 's rootsy blues oriented style mainly consist of arpeggios , tapping and overall fast fretwork . Evidence of his experimenting with the toggle switch can be heard in a few tracks ( `` Ca n't Stop the Bleeding '' , `` Nothing New '' , `` Punch Drunk '' ) .   The songs `` Punch Drunk '' and `` Half Man Half Beast '' were featured in the 1991 comedy film Ski School .   In 1997 , Manifesto Records licensed the Lock Up album from Geffen , and released it on compact disc . After the release , Manifesto , Morello , and Morello 's label , Sony , got into a legal dispute over whether Manifesto could place a sticker on the compact disc that read `` Featuring Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine . ''

The Communist Party of the Soviet Union attempted a coup against Gorbachev.

Communist Party of the Soviet Union The Communist Party of the Soviet Union , abbreviated in English as CPSU , was the founding and ruling political party of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics ( USSR or Soviet Union ) . The CPSU was the sole governing party of the Soviet Union until 1990 , when the Congress of People 's Deputies modified the article of the constitution , which had granted the CPSU a monopoly over the political system . The party was founded in 1912 by the Bolsheviks ( the majority faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party ) , a revolutionary group led by Vladimir Lenin which seized power in the aftermath of the October Revolution of 1917 . The party was dissolved on 29 August 1991 on Soviet territory soon after a failed coup d'état and was completely abolished on 6 November 1991 on Russian territory .   The CPSU was a communist party organized on the basis of democratic centralism , a principle conceived by Lenin that entails democratic and open discussion of policy issues within the party followed by the requirement of total unity in upholding the agreed policies . The highest body within the CPSU was the party Congress , which convened every five years . When the Congress was not in session , the Central Committee was the highest body . Because the Central Committee met twice a year , most day-to-day duties and responsibilities were vested in the Politburo , the Secretariat , and the Orgburo ( until 1952 ) . The party leader was the head of government and held the office of either General Secretary , Premier or head of state , or some of the three offices concurrentlybut never all three at the same time . The party leader was the de facto chairman of the CPSU Politburo and chief executive of the USSR ; the tension between the party and the state ( Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union ) for the shifting locus of power was never formally resolved , but in reality the party dominated , and a paramount leader always existed ( first Lenin and thereafter the General Secretary ) .   The CPSU , according to its party statute , adhered to Marxism -- Leninism , an ideology based on the writings of Vladimir Lenin and Karl Marx , and formalized under Joseph Stalin . The party pursued state socialism , under which all industries were nationalized and a planned economy was implemented . Before central planning was adopted in 1929 , Lenin had introduced a mixed economy , commonly referred to as the New Economic Policy , in the 1920s , which allowed to introduce certain capitalist elements in the Soviet economy . After Mikhail Gorbachev took power in 1985 , at first trying to prop up the stagnant centrally planned economy , rapid steps were taken to transform the economic system in the direction of a market economy . Gorbachev and some of his allies envisioned the introduction of an economy similar to Lenin 's New Economic Policy through a program of perestroika , or restructuring , but the results of their reforms contributed to the fall of the entire system of government .   A number of causes contributed to CPSU 's loss of control and the dissolution of the Soviet Union . Some historians have written that Gorbachev 's policy of glasnost ( political openness ) was the root cause , noting that it weakened the party 's control over society . Gorbachev maintained that perestroika without glasnost was doomed to failure anyway . Others have blamed the economic stagnation and subsequent loss of faith by the general populace in communist ideology .

Psychological findings are independent of research and perspectives from philosophy.

Psychology Psychology is the science of behavior and mind , embracing all aspects of conscious and unconscious experience as well as thought . It is an academic discipline and a social science which seeks to understand individuals and groups by establishing general principles and researching specific cases .   In this field , a professional practitioner or researcher is called a psychologist and can be classified as a social , behavioral , or cognitive scientist . Psychologists attempt to understand the role of mental functions in individual and social behavior , while also exploring the physiological and biological processes that underlie cognitive functions and behaviors .   Psychologists explore behavior and mental processes , including perception , cognition , attention , emotion ( affect ) , intelligence , phenomenology , motivation ( conation ) , brain functioning , and personality . This extends to interaction between people , such as interpersonal relationships , including psychological resilience , family resilience , and other areas . Psychologists of diverse orientations also consider the unconscious mind . Psychologists employ empirical methods to infer causal and correlational relationships between psychosocial variables . In addition , or in opposition , to employing empirical and deductive methods , some -- especially clinical and counseling psychologists -- at times rely upon symbolic interpretation and other inductive techniques . Psychology has been described as a `` hub science '' , with psychological findings linking to research and perspectives from the social sciences , natural sciences , medicine , humanities , and philosophy .   While psychological knowledge is often applied to the assessment and treatment of mental health problems , it is also directed towards understanding and solving problems in several spheres of human activity . By many accounts psychology ultimately aims to benefit society . The majority of psychologists are involved in some kind of therapeutic role , practicing in clinical , counseling , or school settings . Many do scientific research on a wide range of topics related to mental processes and behavior , and typically work in university psychology departments or teach in other academic settings ( e.g. , medical schools , hospitals ) . Some are employed in industrial and organizational settings , or in other areas such as human development and aging , sports , health , and the media , as well as in forensic investigation and other aspects of law .
