Panic has gripped Wall Street since October 24, and now the bottom has fallen out, as market losses rise to $30 billion. The unparalleled crash ends a bull market riding high on 1920s optimism and ushers in what will be a worldwide, and decade-long, Great Depression.
The Wall Street Crash of 1929, also known as the Stock Market Crash of 1929 or the Great Crash, is the stock market crash that occurred in late October, 1929. It started on October 24 and continued until October 29, 1929, when share prices on the New York Stock Exchange collapsed.
Start date: Oct 28, 1929
End date: Oct 29, 1929

Cyrus II of Persia, aka Cyrus the Great (© Leemage/UIG via Getty Images)(539 BCE) Founder of the Persian Empire is king of the world
The Persian Achaemenid Empire already stretches across a huge swath of the known world when its leader, Cyrus the Great, conquers another great capital, Babylon. His Cyrus Cylinder will proclaim him "king of the four corners of the world" and set out many reforms for Mesopotamia.
Cyrus II of Persia, commonly known as Cyrus the Great and also called Cyrus the Elder by the Greeks, was the founder of the Achaemenid Empire.

Under his successors, the empire eventually stretched at its maximum extent from parts of the Balkans and Eastern Europe proper in the west, to the Indus Valley in the east. His regal titles in full were The Great King, King of Persia, King of Anshan, King of Media, King of Babylon, King of Sumer and Akkad, and King of the Four Corners of the World.

Facebook i have made a personal choice after their "name policy" witch hunt which repeats every 2 years it seems at the whim of the "bully mob" (even when they make you jump through hoops and verify you), to just quit it and be done with it, they are not worth my time. I don't need it, I don't miss it, in fact it has made my life more productive and void of gross hate, vitriol and drivel. To those who say they can't stay in touch if I am not on there, if you can't reach me because I am not on Facebook, then you are not trying AT ALL - therefore, good riddance.
