The Intercoastal Highway in South America is a highway that connects the western and the eastern coast of the continent, running through the countries of Peru and Brazil. The big positive of this highway is that it is connecting the eastern and western part of the continent, enabling for easier transportation of goods, and easier movement of people, which is of great economic benefit for everyone involved. On the other hand, there are also negatives, with the two biggest being the destruction of lot of tropical rainforest, and deaths of animals. In order for this highway to be built, enormous amount of trees and other vegetation have been cut down, which is always a problem. Also, the wild animals are not used to a highway running through their habitat, so they do not know how to react, very often being run over by the vehicles passing through.

Answer:
The Mali Kingdom of West Africa first arose in the 13th century. Its founder, Sundiata, was the sole survivor of a massacre at the hand of an enemy king. Sundiata soon grew up to be a military genius and by 1250, reconquered all of the trade routes and former lands of Ghana and founded the kingdom of Mali (Mali means “where the king’s dwell”). The kings of Mali or “mansas” would continue to expand and strengthen the kingdom long after Sundiata dies.
Mansa Musa: Mansa Musa was the greatest king of Mali and reigned from 1312-1337. He expanded Mali’s borders north and west and made his empire safe and peaceful. He also converts to Islam and adopted Sharia law. Along with Mansa Musa, many higher class citizens of the empire also converted to Islam, however many commoners still retained their traditional animistic religion. Mansa Musa’s hajj to Mecca, was probably a large turning point in African history for several reasons covered below. Mansa Musa also invites many Arab scholars to his capital city of Timbuktu, as well as architects to help beautify the city by building mosques out of dried mud that are still standing today.

Answer:
the Hollywood Ten refused to answer HUAC's questions and blacklisted in the industry for years.
Explanation:
At the investigation carried out by members of Hollywood Un-American Activities Committee, HUAC, many personalities and professionals associated with Hollywood were asked about their associations with the Communist Party. While many cooperated with the committee, there were particular 10 individuals, who would later known as Hollywood Ten, refused to cooperate with the committee and denounced the HUAC anti-communist hearings as an outrageous violation of their civil rights.
However, this led to them being cited for contempt of Congress, where by they faced trial on that charge in April 1948, and each man was found guilty and sentenced to spend a year in prison and pay a $1,000 fine.
As the investigation went on, the Hollywood industry blacklist grew larger as Congress continued its investigations into the 1950s, until the 1960s when the blacklist ended.
Hence, as a result of HUAC's probe of alleged Communist influence in the film industry: the Hollywood Ten refused to answer HUAC's questions and blacklisted in the industry for years.
