Answer:

Troubling economic news dominated headlines worldwide, while other events — in¬  

cluding the explosion of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil rig, which resulted in the  

spewing of millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico — added to the bad news.  

Worries also emerged about cyberwarfare attacks on governments and the prospect  

of invasive species’ thriving in temperatures that were getting warmer by the year.  

In Yemen al-Qaeda stirred up trouble and gained a foothold in the south of the coun¬  

try by encouraging secessionists to break away from the north, and the militant group estab¬  

lished a base from which to coordinate terrorist activities. In the U.S. the grassroots Tea Party  

movement brewed up a tempest in the political arena with its credo to oppose excessive tax¬  

ation, immigration, and government intervention in the private sector. In Africa 17 countries,  

14 of them former French colonies, marked the 50th anniversary of their independence. The  

earthquakes in Haiti and Chile brought to the fore the need for smart engineering of build¬  

ings to sustain the shocks from massive temblors. On the bright side, the Winter Olympic  

Games in Vancouver, B.C., provided spills and chills early in the year, and epicureans every¬  

where savoured the new and interesting concoctions that resulted from the culinary applica¬  

tions of Molecular Gastronomy. All of these topics are covered in Special Reports.  

Significant elections took place in Australia, the U.K., and the U.S., where the midterm elec¬  

tions resulted in the Republicans’ taking majority control in most states and in the House of  

Representatives. Some believed that the new and unpopular U.S. health care bill initiated by  

the administration of Pres. Barack Obama was one factor that led to the Democrats’ defeat.  

The cataclysmic Haiti earthquake, which killed about 220,000 persons, led to billions of dol¬  

lars in pledges from countries worldwide, but by year’s end that country had yet to receive  

many of the donations. Europe had its fair share of economic woes, especially the countries  

of the so-called PUGS; Greece and Ireland had to accept massive bailouts to keep their  

economies afloat. Putting a positive spin on the news, wind turbines were helping to conserve  

energy, and China’s commercial wind farm began providing electricity to Expo 2010 Shang¬  

hai China, a world’s fair that attracted some 70 million visitors. In the realm of sports, the  

first Summer Youth Olympic Games were held in Singapore, and the association football (soc¬  

cer) World Cup featured a final duel between Spain and the Netherlands, with the former  

emerging victorious. These stories appear as Sidebars.  

A number of sports legends died during the year, including basketball coach John Wooden  

and three baseball legends: New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, longtime manager  

Sparky Anderson, and Cleveland Indians pitcher Bob ("Rapid Robert”) Feller. Hollywood had  

its share of losses, notably actors Tony Curtis, Dennis Hopper, and Lynn Redgrave. Other  

prominent deaths included those of Polish Pres. Lech Kaczynski, civil rights activist Dorothy  

Height, fashion designer Alexander McQueen, writers J.D. Salinger and Jose Saramago, opera  

singer Dame Joan Sutherland, and songstresses Lena Horne and Kate McGarrigle.  

The personalities of the year featured in biographies include WikiLeaks founder Julian  

Assange, Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, British Prime Minister David Cameron, film  

director Kathryn Bigelow, pop-culture icon Lady Gaga, golfer Phil Mickelson, and baseball  

pitcher Roy Halladay. In the Britannica family of authors, we salute longtime geology and  

geochemistry expert Peter J. Wylie, who is retiring after 34 years.  

Though the news was mostly bad in 2010, it was a year in which exciting discoveries were  

made, technology took greater strides forward, and people bid a final farewell to the decade.  

There are many more compelling stories to read between the pages of this volume, the  

Britannica Book of the Year 2011. I invite you to discover them.

How many years are between 100 bce & 100 ce? please provide an explanation too
aev [14]

Answer:

199 years

Explanation:

The BCE is known as Before the Common Era, while CE means Common Era. And because the year is counted downwards, 100 BCE to CE is expected to be 100 years. However, because there is no 0 CE, hence that would be 99 years.

Also, adding the next 100 CE years, that will make the total sum of 199 years.

In other words, The calculation is 100 BCE + 100 CE, which equals 200 years. However, there is a need to adjust for the absence of year 0. This is done by subtracting 1 from the answer, hence, 200 minus 1 is 199.
