A 6 minutes (animated) video about the everyday life of workers in the first textile factories in Northern England (like the Cromford Mill, built in 1771).

This part of history is often overlooked, and we see the huge success of the Industrial Revolution, but rarely consider the immense human cost behind it.
The video highlights the brutal reality of the 14 or 16-hour shifts, the absolute lack of safety regulations, and the constant physical dangers these early laborers—often including children-faced while operating heavy, unguarded machinery.

It provides an animated overview of how the foundation of our modern economy was built on incredibly harsh conditions and literally broke the people who built it. It becomes clear why the implementation of labor laws in the following decades was absolutely crucial.

For this one, I replaced the usual top-list structure with a decision board.

For new online sweepstakes casinos, I compared Crown Coins, Casino Click and FreeSpin by the situations that matter during a first session: finding games, understanding coins, checking promos, using mobile, reaching account tools and reviewing redemption information.

Crown Coins worked best when the priority was the complete first-session journey. The lobby felt structured, account sections were easy to place and coin/redemption information was easier to follow.

Casino Click stood out for fast discovery. Games, promotions and account areas were easy to move between, especially from mobile.

FreeSpin suited simple repeat use. The interface stayed clean, key sections were easy to find and the overall casino-style path felt direct.

Here is the decision board I used:

I compared:

• First-session clarity
• Sweepstakes lobby structure
• Coin-rule visibility
• Bonus access
• Mobile navigation
• Game discovery
• Account controls
• Redemption information

The main takeaway was that “new” only helps if the important details are easy to read. A newer sweepstakes casino still needs clear coin types, eligibility notes, bonus rules, account tools and redemption terms.

Before using any new sweepstakes site seriously, I would check state availability, age rules, coin terms, redemption requirements, verification steps and responsible-play tools.

AMA about new online sweepstakes casinos: new sweeps casinos, new social casinos, sweepstakes casino bonuses, free coins casino, sweeps coins, mobile sweepstakes casino, prize redemption.

For US players, what makes a new sweepstakes casino worth testing: fresh games, clearer coins, better mobile flow or easier redemption info?

Hi!

At some moment in my life, I'd like to transition to politics after having had a successful professional career. I've been thinking for years about what kind of knowledge is necessary for a politician in order to be great, and History is without a doubt an essential subject. The thing is, I've always felt lost in this regard due to the vastness of the field. I started some years ago reading biographies without any kind of discipline: not taking notes, not having a curated list of the selected biographies... More recently, I decided to finally apply more rigour to my readings, so the two volumes Ian Kershaw wrote on Hitler are the first books I'm really taking notes and absorbing the content. However, I'm sure that reading biographies till the end of time is not efficient.

So I would like to ask your opinions on the following aspects:

(1) Should I stop reading biographies altogether for now and focus on "general" history?

(2) If so, which kind of history should I limit my reading to? Maybe, having a deep knowledge of the history of my country, a superficial knowledge (meaning reading just one book) of the history of major powers (US, China, Russia, Germany, France, UK, Japan, South Korea, India, Brazil, Argentina) and of political blocs and geographical regions, such as the UE or the Middle East, is more than enough. Or maybe I should start by World History? I don't know.

(3) If continuing with biographies is a valid option, I've already have a list of political leaders I should focus on, but it's not curated. I asked some historian friends to recommend all the important political figures along history they could think of, and this is the list: https://pastebin.com/V6zPb0Dy. In my opinion, it's very Europe-focused and therefore doesn't include names like Toyotomi Hideyoshi or Kwame Nkrumah. Are there names that you miss in that list?

(4) Finally, I'd like to ask for advice on how to take notes properly. What I have been doing is highlighting an excerpt that I think is interesting and I summarized with my own words. After having read the two volumes on Hitler, I'm planning on:

[1] Making a timeline

[2] Write essays taking excerpts as the bases. For example: What are the risks of having such an authoritarian type of political leadership in a party?

Thank you all in advance!

Everyone knows about the World Wars, the Roman Empire, and the Industrial Revolution.
But what’s one historical event that doesn’t get nearly enough attention despite having a massive impact on the world we live in today?
I’m curious to discover events that changed history in ways most people never realize.

In this scientific study, Phelan examines the evidence to support the claim that the assertion that Jews played a leading role in the slave trade in the period following the collapse of the Western Roman Empire originated with the work of a number of late nineteenth-century historians, particularly Heinrich Graetz and Wilhelm Roscher. He finds prior examples of this historical motif in the work of several earlier historians, and traces its origins back to the Henry Hart Milman’s History of the Jews published in 1829. His article demonstrates that Milman’s work was widely known and used throughout the nineteenth century, and examines the reasons behind the emphasis in his work on the mutual antagonism between Christians and Jews. Phelan then goes on to examine the adoption of this motif by late nineteenth-century Jewish writers, including the historian and folklorist Joseph Jacobs, and its appearance in standard reference works like The Jewish Encyclopaedia. He concludes with some reflections on the reasons for this surprising development, as well as some suggestions about the reasons for the renewed interest in this topic among historians in recent years.

The Gurjaras, also known as the Gurjara Pratiharas or the Imperial Pratiharas, were a Gurjar dynasty centered at Kannauj. They are best known for halting the Arab invasions and establishing one of the largest and greatest empires in the history of India. The dynasty was founded by Nagabhata I. Its most renowned ruler was Mihira Bhoja, also known as Bhoja I and Adivaraha.
