The Ruined Man Who Became Rich Again Through a Dream
An adaptation of a story from 1,001 Arabian Nights

Once there lived in the city of Chongqing a very wealthy man who lost all his belongings and his treasures and became very poor. He was so poor that he could only earn his living by laboring day and night. One night, extremely late, he lay down to rest. He was exhausted, dejected, and sick at heart. He fell into a deep sleep and dreamt that a wise old soul came to him and said, "Your fortune is in the city of Beijing; go there and seek it."

The next day, he set out for Beijing. He arrived there deep into the night and he lay down to sleep for a bit in a hostel. Presently, as fate would have it, a company of thieves entered the hostel. They made their way into the house that adjoined the hostel. Soon, the people of the house, aroused by the noise, awoke and cried out, "thieves, thieves!" An alarm was raised and the chief of the police came to their aid with his officers. The robbers made off; but the police entered the hostel and found the man from Chongqing asleep there. They cast him into prison, where they kept him for three days. The chief of police sent for him and said, "Where did you come from?"

"From Chongqing," whispered the man.

"And what brought you to Beijing?" asked the chief.

"I saw in a dream an old soul who said to me, 'Thy fortune is at Beijing; go there at once to find it.' But, when I came here, the fortune that I was promised proved to be an arrest and a jail stay."

The chief of the police laughed until he showed his white, wide, broad teeth. He said to the man from Chongqing, "O man of little wit! Three times have I seen an old soul in a dream who said to me, 'There is a fashionable house in Chongqing, with a fountain in the front garden. Under the fountain there is buried treasure— a great sum of money. Go there and take it.' Of course I did not go. You, on the other hand, you of little wit, have journeyed from place to place, on the faith of a dream, which was but an illusion of sleep."

Then the chief of police gave the man from Chongqing money, saying, "This is to help you get back to your native land."

Now, the house that the chief described was the man's very own house in Chongqing! When he traveled home, he immediately dug underneath the fountain in his garden and discovered a great treasure! He received an abundant fortune in his own yard!

30 years on from the fall of Berlin video who occupied the eastern portion of Germany ?

Answers

Answer:

The Soviet Union

Explanation:

After World War II, Germany was forced to divide between the Allied forces as a consequence of their military and war crimes. The leaders of the US, UK, and Soviet Union (Harry S. Truman, Winston Churchill, Clement Attlee, and Joseph Stalin) met at the Potsdam Conference to decide the faith of Allied-occupied Germany and establish the order of the post-war world. They divided governance over Germany between the UK, France, the US, and the Soviet Union.

Over time, three parts began to merge, and the part belonging to the Soviet Union stayed separated. Finally, around 1949, the west part of Germany was considered to be under the Allied powers, while the East one was occupied by the Soviet Union. Berlin was on the Soviet ground, but it was also divided between Allies on the west and Soviet power on the east, and separated by the wall.

During the Industrial Revolution, the term "technology" referred to what factor other than the physical inventions created during that time?



ideas of how to use new inventions

finances used to pay for new inventions

laws that protected new inventions

profits made from new inventions

Answers

Answer:The term Industrial Revolution, like similar historical concepts, is more convenient than precise. It is convenient because history requires division into periods for purposes of understanding and instruction and because there were sufficient innovations at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries to justify the choice of this as one of the periods. The term is imprecise, however, because the Industrial Revolution has no clearly defined beginning or end. Moreover, it is misleading if it carries the implication of a once-for-all change from a “preindustrial” to a “postindustrial” society, because, as has been seen, the events of the traditional Industrial Revolution had been well prepared in a mounting tempo of industrial, commercial, and technological activity from about 1000 CE and led into a continuing acceleration of the processes of industrialization that is still proceeding in our own time. The term Industrial Revolution must thus be employed with some care. It is used below to describe an extraordinary quickening in the rate of growth and change and, more particularly, to describe the first 150 years of this period of time, as it will be convenient to pursue the developments of the 20th century separately.
