" Snapped in New York on the roof of the Marceau Studio on Fifth Avenue,  across the street from St. Patrick’s Cathedral, this picture features  five mustached photographers holding an antediluvian analog camera at  arm’s length. Because this camera would have been too heavy to hold with  one hand, Joseph Byron is propping it up on the left, with his  colleague Ben Falk holding it on the right. In the middle, you have  Pirie MacDonald, Colonel Marceau, and Pop Core."Quoted from: https://www.fastcompany.com/3026832/this-might-be-the-first-selfie-in-photographic-history

The two above photos from the 1920s would certainly seem to indicate that Mr. Bean was certainly not the inventor of the selfie. Although I believe he has more credit to it than Paris Hilton does 

Somehow yeah, as he was the first to take this kind of photos with his camera decades ago.

The invention of the calendar (2,500 BC)

For a people in the process of civilization, it is essential to divide time in order to fix the major events of the community. In  the third millennium BC, the cities of Babylon were the first to apply a  calendar, corresponding to the movements of the Moon, to which they  added if necessary additional months to maintain a correspondence with  the seasons of the year

The Roman calendar

The  first Roman calendar, introduced towards the VIIth century BC,  separated in 10months a year of 304 days which began in March. The  months of January and February were added later, but it was necessary  to insert another month about every other year, because the months were  only 29 or 30 days. The  days were designated by a method of counting backwards from three  pivotal dates: the calends at the beginning of the month, the ideas in  the middle and the nones, which fell on the ninth day before the ideas. This  calendar became hopelessly confused when the Roman rulers, who were  returned to fix the days and months to add, abused their authority to  extend their term or change the election date.

In 46 BC, Julius Caesar decided, on the advice of the Greek astronomer Sosigene, to establish a new calendar. This  calendar, known as the Julian calendar, fixed the duration of a normal  year at 365 days and that of a leap year, every 4 years, at 366 days -  the redoubled day being that of February 24th. Caesar also brought back the beginning of the year to January 1 (instead of 1 March).

the Gregorian calendar

The Julian calendar lasted 11 minutes and 14 seconds longer than the solar year. This difference accumulated so much that in 1582 the vernal equinox (see Ecliptic) fell 10 days before the calendar date. To make the equinox fall around March 21st, as in 325 AD. AD  (year of the first council of Nicea, which had established the main  rules of ecclesiastical computation), Pope Gregory XIII decreed that 10  days, that year, were to be removed from the calendar. He  instituted a new calendar, called since Gregorian calendar, removing  all secular leap years, with the exception of those whose vintage was  divisible by 400. Thus, 1600 was a leap year, but 1700 and 1800 were  normal years.

The Gregorian calendar was slowly extended to all Europe. Nowadays, it is used in most of the Western world, as well as in some Asian countries.

Moved to the Hive platform.

Yes, absolutely! I try to answer them as much as possible! However, never honest, and most of the time as stupidly and humoristic as possible. :-)

 Behind their graceful appearance, giraffes hide a body that can weigh 1,500 kg and especially measure 5.8 m high. Their  size is based on the presence of long forelimbs and a  disproportionately large neck, yet composed of 7 cervical vertebrae, as  in most mammals. The properties of this region of the body would have been acquired during evolution by natural selection. 

 The long neck of giraffes, a preserved genetic mutation

In the past, random genetic mutations may have caused the appearance of giraffes with abnormally large necks compared to normal. The  advantage is obvious: these individuals were able to reach food  sources, for example branches of acacia, unexploited by other animals  because out of reach. No longer having to fight for food, long-necked giraffes could live longer and reproduce more easily. They gradually settled from generation to generation, while specimens struggling with other species gradually disappeared. 

I'm gonna tackle this question into two parts since you specifically asked for Steemit. 

Probably the most important feature currently lacking on Steemit.com is the "Notification Feature". Around 90% of all users first platform is also Steemit.com and it still boggles my mind how come it lacks so behind to others features-wise. For most newbies this is highly discouraging to use because when a platform is marketed as a "social media blogging" one we expect that we can easily get connected to our followers and the people we follow and the best way to do that is through notifications.

I am just glad that other Steem platforms have already implemented the basic notification feature but truth be told it still is very lacking, the only service probably closed to perfection is GINABot which unfortunately requires you to download and have a Discord account. Tskkk

In terms of Steem blogging, I'm gonna go ahead and say that it lacks the categorizational function we often see on blogging platforms like WordPress. Steem platforms needs to implement a way to allow users to organize and categorize their posts properly. No one likes to scroll way down just to catch up on other people's blog. Another way to sort one's blog posts out and not the default "Newest created post first to oldest".

I think steemit is missing the view counter. As a blogger, the first thing I look at whenever I log in to my blogger's  dashboard is the views each of my post has generated. The views on a post gives you a clue on the type of post that your readers are interested in. Also, as a blogger, one of the most exciting thing about blogging is knowing that people are actually visiting your posts. Steemit doesn't give it's users such opportunity. It judges the acceptance of a post through pay out and we all know that the pay out doesn't truly reflect the true worth or attention a post has gotten. Most people feel discouraged easily on steemit because when they see that their post doesn't have any pay out, it is believed that nobody visited the post. That very wrong and a kill joy. Most people would bother less about their post's pay out and put in more effort in steemit if they can see the views that their posts are generating regardless of the pay out. So the view counter is one of the key blogging features that steering seem to be missing.

It's missing loads. Look at the microsoft word or wordpress  and look at steemit's user interface for posting. It is fairly primitive. 

Financial success is not a function of your certificate. It's a function of your creativity and productivity. Solving problems of economic value leads to financial. thus, anyone that can solve problems of economic value, regardless of their educational background, will certainly have financial success

About as much guarantee as I have to become POTUS

Not at all. it depends on the individual. You can have the best education in the world but it comes to nothing if you don't have the instinct and common sense to use it properly.

When considering most of the things that predate man, there is never a concrete fact as to how they happened. There are only speculations and theories that seem mostly possible. As for origin of water on Earth, there are two theories that seem the most possible and they are the extra planetary source and the internal source of water.

The extra planetary source says that water on Earth came from outer space on meteoroids or comets that came from Neptune. Neptune is a planet in our solar system whose surface is covered in an ice and water layer. Because of this, it's possible that the water on this planet came from the water there. There are also water-rich meteoroids that may have landed on earth billions of years ago.

The internal source says that water came from the gradual dehydration of hydrated minerals here on Earth. Or at least a part of it. Then it's also possible that volcanic eruptions forced water vapour in the atmosphere to condense and fall as rain, thus creating the water cycle.

As I said, these are just theories because they cannot be proven but still they are the two most considerable answers to the question

Earth water comes from the earth. If you look at the biblical creation story, we were told that the universe was covered with water before creation. This implies that water has been a major element in the earth from the beginning. So, earth water comes from the earth. When you dig deeper into the earth, you'll always find water beneath it.

Dealing with sexual harassment is one of the hardest things to do. It haunts your thoughts and emotions on a daily basis. I speak from experience.

In order to deal with it, i buried myself in ny books and never went out alone for atleast teo years after the incident.

It is always advisable visit a counselor and talk. This way you can come to terms better with the situation and be more expresse.

Report the culprit to the adequate authority. The more your tolerate it, the more you're putting yourself at risk and other students at risk. Reporting the individual would get him/her off you and will also save other students from going through such experience from the hand of such person.
