Researchers have uncovered the most intense earthquake in the history of our planet. Over three thousand years ago in the Atacama desert a magnitude nine point five earthquake devastated the region. For reference, a magnitude seven earthquake is serious, whereas a magnitude eight earthquake is seen as catastrophic.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are we able to learn from past mistakes and avoid making the same mistakes again?
History repeats itself because we keep making similar mistakes over and again. We fail to learn from our mistakes. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
The same old stories are what repeat history. Our culture has conditioned us to believe there is an immutable law and a fixed truth. They are immutable laws and truths that we can't change.
This makes it difficult to think critically. From challenging authority. To challenge assumptions. We don't grow if we don’t question. When we don't learn, we stagnate. Stamina is when we continue to make the same mistakes.
But history doesn't repeat itself because we make the same mistakes. We don't learn from our mistakes, and we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over.
You can break the cycle of history repetition by changing how you look at the world and yourself, by understanding that nothing is set in stone. Nothing is unchangeable. All things are in constant flux.
The key to breaking the cycle of uncertainty is acceptance. Accept that things can go wrong. Accept that failure is possible. Accepting failure as a possibility.
Accept that your goals may not be achieved. You can accept this, but you must continue to strive for improvement.
Holding on to the past will keep you stuck. You can't move forward if your beliefs are fixed.
You can't control your destiny. If you want progress, you need to let go of control.
What are some lessons from history?
Three lessons can be learned from history. To change the world, you have to do it all yourself. Second, when you change how people live, you must ensure they're ready for it. The third thing you must do to improve the future is to first change how people live.
The first lesson we can learn is that there are only two ways to transform the world. One is to fight to get it. The other is to create. Fighting for it is about winning, not remembering why you started fighting.
You cannot control what people think, but you can make sure they like the way you present them. If you try to convince someone, you will fail. However, if you are determined to motivate someone to take action, you will succeed.
The idea of a great movement was born when someone had it and took action. No matter whether you are creating change, or reacting to it. Here are three ways you can make your mark: Be clear about the things you want, be honest with where you came from, be courageous enough to go where no other person has gone before, and be clear about who you are.
The second lesson is that each of us has a choice. We can either allow our lives to unfold, or choose to create them. We must choose the kind of life that we want. Do we wait for someone else to permit us to live? Or do you want to be in control of your destiny?
I believe that we are living in the golden age. We have more opportunities than ever before which is creating excitement. People feel empowered, which is exciting.
It can also cause problems. Because not everyone knows exactly what they want or even how to get it, it's important to figure out what you want and find a way to get it.
Let's suppose you want to buy your first house. You could relax and hope that someone will give you a gift voucher to Home Depot. You could also think about what you would love to do. Look for a job which allows you to do that. Finally, apply for financing.
Let's suppose you want to travel the globe. Perhaps you are asking, "Where do i want to go?" Next, you might start saving money, looking up countries online, and talking to your friends. And finally, you'd book a flight.
Now, let's say you didn't know what you wanted. You would most likely do one of these things. But by asking yourself questions like this, you increase your chances of getting what you want. Although it may sound silly, it is effective.
The third lesson is that you can always improve your future no matter what happens. It is easy to see why. Our choices impact who we become and who we are.
It is important to take inspiration from past experiences, learn from mistakes and succeed until you are successful.
If you don’t believe that you have anything to contribute, then you are already behind. You have to believe that you're better than you thought you were.
If you don't know where to begin, start with what you know. Start small and go from there. Think about what you've learned throughout your life. What are you most proud of? What are you proud of? How did you overcome your obstacles?
Don't forget to remember that only you can limit your potential. No matter what others say, you are capable of doing anything you set your mind to.
Benjamin Franklin once said that "Nothing will work without you."
What is the most valuable thing that you have learned in history?
There isn't an easy answer to this question. There are three things to keep in mind when learning. First, we need to recognize that knowledge is the power of learning. Second, it is important to recognize that knowledge is cumulative. We must also be able to appreciate the speed at which knowledge can change.
Knowledge is power. It allows us to make better decisions, and improve our lives. We would not have any trouble making decisions if our information was perfect. We would always do what is best for us, and not worry about whether it was wrong or right.
Knowledge, although it is power, is also cumulative. This means that knowledge is not only powerful, but also cumulative. As time passes, we get smarter and smarter. Knowledge accumulates.
Now, let's look at the third point. Knowledge isn't static. Knowledge is always changing. Scientists are constantly discovering new facts, theories, or ways to think. Every day, scientists discover new facts and theories.
Technology is a key component of our culture. It allows us to instantly access information. Technology allows us to store huge amounts of data electronically and share it with millions around the globe.
In addition to technology, globalization has changed the way we view knowledge. Globalization refers simply to the process by which ideas or products spread beyond borders. Globalization has made knowledge accessible to everyone.
The internet enables anyone to access information anywhere in the world. Anyone can read books, watch movies, listen to music, play video games, and surf the web. All of these activities require knowledge.
Knowledge is becoming more available, but it is also becoming more niche. You can find thousands of websites that offer advice on subjects such as finance, health, business, sports, and travel. These websites provide information on just about every topic.
But if you go online to buy a car, you'll probably find only a few dozen sites offering automotive-related services and products. Instead of thousands of sites covering every possible topic, there will be only a handful of sites that are focused on cars.
Because experts in certain fields can share and create valuable knowledge, this is why specialization is important. Experts often have a deep understanding of a particular field. Experts have the ability to create high-quality content specifically for their audience.
Because they don't have to look through tons of unimportant information, this is a good thing for consumers. Instead, they can focus their attention on a handful of websites with lots of useful content.
Experts also have the advantage of specialization. They can build strong businesses around this expertise. The buyer of a book expects the author will be knowledgeable enough to explain the subject clearly and concisely. He wants to be sure that the author understands what he is trying to communicate.
If an expert does not specialize, he risks losing out on potential customers who expect him to be knowledgeable.
Specialization isn't limited to just one area. Many of us today are specialists in many areas. It could be that we are an accountant, a lawyer or a doctor. Or a teacher. It is also possible to be a parent, spouse, friend, or fan.
Specialization is so common that some experts argue that it's impossible to succeed without being an expert in several different things.
So, how do you become a specialist in multiple areas? The answer is simple: practice. You have to put in the time to learn. As you make progress, you must keep going until you are recognized as an expert.
Many industries today are dedicated to helping others accomplish this goal. People can quickly learn through courses, workshops seminars, conferences, schools and other venues.
What do our mistakes show us?
You can learn from your mistakes. You'll learn something. You can always learn from your mistakes. You don't have to worry about the small things. There's nothing wrong in making mistakes. All of us make mistakes.
You might feel embarrassed if you've made a mistake, but it doesn't matter whether you feel bad. How you handle your mistakes is what matters most. If you allow them to get in the way of your growth, they will eventually eat away at your inner self. But if you view them as opportunities for growth, you'll come out stronger on the other side.
Recognize your mistake and move on. Don't dwell on it; instead, focus on the next step. Keep moving.
Do not obsess about your mistakes. Instead, look for ways to improve yourself. Learn from your mistakes and be better tomorrow.
Successful Inventions Made by Accident
Inventors make mistakes. But how we respond to those mistakes determines whether our inventions become great successes or failures.
There are no accidental inventions. Every invention was designed. There are no accidental inventions.
Invention is an intentional act. A deliberate decision to create something new. It solves a problem. It makes someone's life easier.
The key to success is not assuming that everything happens by accident. Instead of trying avoidable mistakes, learn from them.
As much as we would love to say that invention is easy, it isn't. Invention is hard work that requires persistence. It's not a quick fix. It takes patience.
You will need to spend a lot time thinking about ideas and problems. What is it that people are most concerned about? What do they need?
These are questions that you should ask yourself. These questions will help guide you in deciding what kind of product/service you should develop next.
You must let go of all preconceived notions. Preconceived notions about what the world needs or wants are not valid. Listen carefully to potential and actual customers.
Learn what they really want. Not what they tell you they want.
Once you have figured out their needs, you need to find a way to make it happen. This is where invention comes in.

How To
How did marketing history turn into propaganda?
The term "propaganda", as it is commonly known, was first used by Max Weber (1879), a German sociologist. He derived the term from the Greek "praopagos", meaning "to speak well." The word came from the Latin verb "propere," meaning "nearby" or "at hand," and the noun "agogos," meaning "speech or discourse." It's a "systematic attempt to influence attitudes and behavior."
George Orwell, British journalist wrote in "Propaganda," a 1928 book that he published. "To understand the true nature and purpose of propaganda, it is not the intention make people believe any thing; it is only to change their beliefs... It is designed to make them agree with one thing instead of the other."
Edward Bernays (1891 – 1995), who was Sigmund Freud’s nephew and psychoanalyst became well-known after he inventing the term "public relation" in 1922. He stated that the conscious and intelligent manipulations of the organized opinions and habits of the masses was an essential element of a democratic society. He established the public relations company "Bernays & Company" where he worked up to 1955.
Bernays devised a technique called "engineering consent" to influence public opinion using advertising and publicity campaigns. This was from the 1920s to 1950s. His techniques were later adopted by mass media companies such as Time Magazine, CBS News, NBC News, and Newsweek. Bernays became a close collaborator with corporations and government agencies in order to influence public opinion after World War II. Some of his clients included Johnson & Johnson, General Electric, Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, Ford Motor Company, U.S. Department of Defense, American Tobacco Company, DuPont, Rayonier, and the United States Chamber of Commerce.
The tobacco industry was his most important client. In 1939, he helped Philip Morris develop a campaign against smoking, which resulted in the Surgeon General recommending that smoking should be banned indoors. This led to the passage of the Cigarette Advertising Act in 1965, which prohibited any cigarette advertisement in print media, including magazines, newspapers, and television.
He also gave advice to President Franklin D Roosevelt about how to manage the growing labor movement during Great Depression. Bernays recommended that the president declare a war on hunger and use federal government power to ensure adequate food supply. This strategy made the government seem like a loving father figure, and it helped the president win his re-election bid in 1936.
Bernays promoted the idea of "radio-listening" in order to increase radio sales. In the 1930s, Bernays introduced the concepts of "branding", and "advertising". He believed that customers could be motivated by appealing to their emotional side, and making them feel unique. He promoted the slogan, "Have I got what it takes?" He encouraged women to get war bonds for their money in 1933.
He established a political action group called "Young People for Freedom" back in 1944. The group's goal was to encourage Americans aged 18-30 to vote Republican. Dwight Eisenhower won in 1952, thanks to Bernays’ efforts.
Bernays convinced CIA to organize a coup in Iran in 1953. Shah Reza Pahlevi was replaced by Mohammad Mosaddegh. This was necessary to stop Mosaddegh nationalizing Iranian oil fields. Bernays wrote articles in praise of the new regime, calling it a "moderate," a "progressive", and a "modernized" one after the coup.
Bernays was the recipient of many other awards over his entire career.
