Foreign AffairsTrump Inauguration: 7 Most Memorable Speeches In American History by longest18(op): 2:19pm On Jan 20, 2017
Today, January 20, is a day many Americans will not
forget. Donald J Trump against all odds is to be sworn in
as the 45th president of the United States of America.
For every American president, the inaugural address is a
huge part of this day and Trump is no exception. He has
been preparing his speech for quite a while and he even
tweeted about it:

As we look forward to bringing you the entire coverage of
the inauguration, here are some of the most unforgettable
speeches by American presidents:

1. Longest Inaugural speech
The longest ever inaugural address was given by William
Henry Harrison’s in 1841. He delivered the 1 hour 45 minute
oration without wearing a hat or coat in a howling
snowstorm, came down with pneumonia, and died one
month later. His was also the shortest tenure in the white house.


2. Shortest Inaugural speech
The shortest inaugural address in history was George
Washington’s, in 1793. Yet he had the most important
administration in American history.
After which, George Washington added the words “so help
me God” to the oath of office, the original text of which is
prescribed by the U.S. Constitution, then he bent forward to
kiss the Bible.

3. Most unforgettable moment
The most striking moment in an inaugural address, was
when Dwight D. Eisenhower asked listeners to bow their
heads and said: "Would you permit me the privilege of
uttering a little private prayer of my own?”
Reference to God, or asking for God’s blessings on the
United States, has been a normal part of all 55 inaugural
addresses. But that was the first time a president prayed.

4. Funniest line in an inaugural speech
The funniest line in a presidential inaugural address was by
the eighth president, Martin Van Buren.
He inadvertently made the audience laugh when he said:
“Unlike all who have preceded me, the Revolution that gave
us existence as one people was achieved at the period of my
birth; and whilst I contemplate with grateful reverence that
memorable event….”
Van Buren actually meant that he revered the American
Revolution, but to the audience it sounded as if he revered
his own birth.

5. Most surprising moment during an inaugural speech
Dwight Eisenhower, who was himself born in Texas was at
his inaugural ceremony on January 20, 1953, a cowboy rode
up to him on a horse, produced his rope, and after swinging
it in the air, threw it at the president and tied him up.

6. Rowdiest inauguration
The rowdiest inaugural celebration was that of Abraham Lincoln, the crowd grew so massive, then the drinking started and eventually the police had to be called in to control the crowd.

7. Most memorable line from an inaugural speech
The line from John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address on January 20, 1961, was so powerful , it continues to be used
by many today. Kennedy challenged fellow citizens: “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.”

Foreign AffairsThe World's Richest People Lose $41 Billion On Trump's Win by longest18(op): 8:13pm On Nov 09, 2016
Mexico’s wealthiest person lost $5.1 billion in the wake of
Donald Trump’s stunning upset over Democratic rival Hillary
Clinton. Carlos Slim, who is fifth-richest in the world, shed
9.2 percent
of his fortune after the peso dove as much as 12 percent on
the news.
Slim led declines of $41 billion on the Bloomberg
Billionaires Index at the start of U.S. trading Wednesday. The
Standard & Poor’s 500 Index was down 1.1 percent at 10
a.m. in New York. Stock markets across the globe wavered
on news that the New York real estate mogul would become
the 45th U.S. president.
The index decline almost reversed the $57 billion increase
the world’s richest saw earlier in the week when markets
rose on expectations that Clinton
would prevail.
The 10 Mexican billionaires on the index dropped a
combined $6.5 billion in early trading. Eva Gonda Rivera,
Mexico’s fourth-richest person, followed Slim with a $487
million loss while Lorenzo Servitje
Sendra, the fifth richest, shed $397 million.
U.S. billionaires, who account for one-third of the
Bloomberg wealth ranking, had the biggest dollar loss,
falling $9.3 billion. The combined net worth of
the billionaires on the index fell 0.9 percent to $4.4 trillion at the start of trading in New York

EducationThings Every UI Student Can Relate To by longest18(op): 8:17pm On Aug 16, 2016
1.Arooing
This is a nice name for catcalls and as you can already
guess, the females suffer the more!It happens mostly when
you pass through “certain” male hostels.In normal cases,
funny, absurd, sexist and sexual comments are made by the
guys to the girls from their room windows or corridors.
In extreme cases of boredom, the guys actually follow the
girls and accompany them with songs and drumming (you’ll
believe it when it happens to you). This could be fun, but
also extremely embarrassing. Quick question though;Who
does it better?Zik guys or Indy guys?I vote Indy.

2.Those special courses!
You don’t have to get them registered on your course form
because they’re not the kind of “courses” you have in
mind.Its simple;Talking to the opposite sex in front of a
female hostel! So the name of the hostel determines the
course code eg Awo 101, Idia 205 .In my secondary school ,
this used to be called “spinning”…the world is truly
evolving!

3.The fear of erosion!
No, we’re not worried that the topmost layer of the earth
would be washed away(I mean we care about the
environment, but not that much).Instead, we’re worried that
if we don’t meet the unit requirement of certain courses in
our department, we would be eroded to another
department!How cool is it?Going from Pharmacy to
sociology?(No offense of course but its not just what a nigga
chose).The whole thing kinda looks like this.

4.The fear of tsunami!
The fear of tsunami is the beginning of wisdom!
Water is not going to rise to great height and swallow you
but the school work can rise to the heavens and fall on your
delicate head such that, you cease to exist in that realm.In
other words, you get kicked out of school! So its more like
this…

5.Those Overrated Places…
There are a lot of them and I’ll leave that to uites to tell me
in the comment box but personally, I can’t decide which of
these two should top my list; Spices or The zoological
garden?
PS: The botanical garden is not even ‘rated’ at all!
