WOMEN RULE

Submitted by ub on

Women suffrage is the right of women to vote in elections. Limited voting rights were gained by women in Finland, Iceland, Sweden and some Australian colonies and western U.S. states in the late 19th century.

The 19th Amendment to the US Constitution granted American women the right to vote, which is a right known as woman suffrage. At the time the US was founded, its female citizens did not share the same rights as men, including the right to vote.

Timing is Everything!

Timing is everything for electronic messaging and sometimes it goes to the back burner.
The Subject, Context, and Kiss are important.

Needless to say, if you need a reply ASAP, you're better off calling. Similarly, be conscientious about the recipient who may be swamped under work or -- even worse -- on vacation? In those instances, follow-ups aren't going to be effective, regardless of how flawlessly crafted.

Benjamin Franklin

Submitted by ub on

With all the hype about Alexander Hamilton recently, we must remember all USA founders.
One such individual was Ben Franklin. His visage graces the 100 dollar bill and he was known all over the world, so go figure.

Born in Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin helped to draft the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, he also negotiated the 1783 Treaty of Paris, which ended the Revolutionary War. He was the first postmaster general and so much more.
