It is important to track the current events in a nation you are living in as well as the world updates. The more informed you are, the more empowered you become no matter what profession or status you have. Current events can range from police reports to feature stories to science and health. There are many ways to keep yourself informed either through online, in print, or television.

Cambodia is accelerating economically these days. They have beautiful spots that have contributed to their booming tourism industry. They also have information agencies that keep them up to date with what is happening with the world. Cambodian news is a mixture of local and international news delivered either in English or in their native tongue.

They are able to attract a great number of tourists every year to visit the place. Siem Reap, its capital city, is also rich in commercial and business. The people there get to have their businesses like boutiques where their unique styles of fabrics are sold. Also, they have great food. Their hospitality is also one of the most attracting factors that kept their tourist industry alive.

Still one of the latest reports related to Cambodia is the plan of the United States first lady, Michelle Obama, to visit the country. This is to promote education especially for girls. She is set to go to Tokyo, Japan first before coming to Siem Reap, Cambodia. The aim of the US and the United Nations in this initiative is to reduce the number of uneducated girls all over the world.

On the other hand, there is a bad update regarding the health of some Cambodians. It was on the headlines that there are more than two hundred people who got diagnosed with HIV in a district there. Some of them are still children and others are elderly. An unlicensed medical practitioner gave them the disease by using a contaminated syringe and needle.

There are also high cases of malaria. Cambodia is just one of the countries whose malaria patients have become immune to the primary drug used to treat the disease. The drug is called artemisinin. Myanmar and India also have similar problems. And the medical experts are finding the right alternatives to cure the patients especially the terminal ones.

Agriculture, tourism, and commerce are the main sources of economy in the country. Although it can be said that they are progressing and developing, there are still traces of poverty, unemployment, and illiteracy. It is extremely difficult to eradicate these social problems completely despite the collective efforts of the the government and the private sectors.

These problems are recurring and are similar to other developing and underdeveloped countries. But there are also pretty good ones that bring hope and inspiration to the Cambodians. They have funny and feature stories that people can read daily in newspapers and in the internet.

The news contains all that is happening in the day to day lives of the people. It is the only way these people become aware of how they can contribute to changes and what actions they need to take as individual citizens. It is a good thing powerful countries like the United States are making efforts to help countries like Cambodia.

On December 3, 1818, Illinois became the 21st state to join the union. The first governor to be elected was Shadrach Bond, a member of what was then called the Independent party. It was the Era of Good Feelings, and Bond ran unopposed. A more recent governor of the state is Bruce Rauner, who assumed office in January 2015. Belonging to the Republican party, Rauner was one of the conservative candidates Illinois 2014. Rauner succeeded Patrick Quinn as governor.

Patrick Joseph Quinn (known to his friends as Pat), assumed the governorship in 2009 to replace then-incumbent Rod Blagojevich, who was removed from office on charges of corruption along with his Chief of Staff, John Harris. He was later sentenced to 14 years in prison.

Before Bond became governor of Illinois, he represented the Illinois territory in Congress. The years immediately following the Napoleonic Wars are referred to in history as the Era of Good feelings. It is so remembered because of the relative calm induced by the implosion of the Federalist Party upon itself. The country breathed a sigh of relief to see the bitter bickering between the Federalists and the Democrat-Republicans.

Joe Walsh (no connection to the Eagles' guitarist) is a former Congressman-turned-talk show host. He represented the Illinois Eighth Congressional District, which includes the city of Chicago, for two years from 2011 to 2013. His term was cut short when his district was redrawn and he unsuccessfully ran for representative in the newly formed 14th district. Formerly a self-branded moderate Republican, Walsh is now a member of the ultra-conservative Tea Party and a staunch critic of President Barack Obama.

While Alan Keyes has given distinguished service to the country and to the Republican Party, he has never held an elected office. He ran for the Senate in 1988, 1992, and 2004, and also for the presidency in 1996, 2000, and 2008. It was President Ronald Reagan who plucked Keyes from relative obscurity and appointed him Assistant Secretary for International Organization Affairs, serving from 1985 to 1987. He now has his own talk show.

Never elected to public office but a highly influential Republican in any case, Richard Uihlein graduated from Stanford University in northern California to become a successful businessman and staunch supporter of conservative politics. Determined to keep as much of his money out of the grip of government, he makes donations to the ultra-right Tea Party. He and his wife have their own successful business selling packaging supplies.

Prior to Joe Walsh and Melissa Bean before him, Philip Crane represented the important 8th Congressional District for 36 years between 1969 and 2005. He made an unsuccessful run for the presidency against Ronald Reagan in 1980. His father, George Washington Crane III, was a college professor and a physician.

Obviously, Abraham Lincoln is America's most well-known conservative politician. Lincoln belonged to the Whig Party, which had been formed in opposition to President Andrew Jackson and his band of Democrats. Lincoln's major achievements include freeing the slaves, preserving the American union through the bitter Civil War years, strengthening the federal government, and modernizing the economy. Lincoln's term, and life, were cut short by John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated him by gunshot in Ford's Theatre in 1865, just six days after General Robert E. Lee's surrender.
