Ancient Egyptian History Egyptology the Motivation Behind the Harem Conspiracy
Ramesses III of the 20th dynasty of ancient Egypt is considered the last greatest pharaoh. Like other pharaohs, he had many wives and sons. His reign was characterized by victories at war, particularly against the Libyans and the Sea People. But there were survivors among these defeated peoples who continued living within the jurisdiction of the empire. At that time, the empire was also undergoing economic and social problems. Workers staged strikes in search of higher wages. The two political victories drained the empire of finances and inflation rose. At the same time, there was unrest at the harem, led by one of the pharaoh's minor wives, Tiye, who wanted her son Pentewere to become the next pharaoh instead of Amonhirkopshef, whom Ramesses III chose to succeed him. A conspiracy was attempted to bring this about although unsuccessfully.

Centralia 1947 Mine Explosion Throughout the Annals
Throughout the annals of the American industrialized age, countless tragedies have occurred within the workplace and these incidents have forced the public at large to consider the weighty issue of applying moral precepts to the realm of public administration. While the tomes of American jurisprudence are littered with examples of corporate enterprises and bureaucratic entities failing to uphold their basic responsibilities, perhaps no case has demonstrated the capacity to generate both outrage and activism as readily as The Blast in Centralia No. 5: A Mine Disaster No One Stopped. Authored by John Bartlow Martin, this seminal case study examines the unique confluence of internal and external circumstances which eventually resulted in the 1947 explosion of Centralia Mine No. 5, a catastrophe which claimed the lives of 111 coal miners. By carefully retracing the series of events preceding the actual explosion, including a history of the Centralia mine beginning with its opening in 1907, a cursory primer on the industry of coal mining, and a blow-by-blow recounting of the evasions, denials, and betrayals committed by the various bureaucracies charged with preventing such disasters, Martin guides the reader through the machinations of both private companies and public policymakers.
