- 1161: United States of American: Personal Freedom
- ... effective means for people to use their freedoms effectively to bring about change from the government. Freedom of speech is constantly being challenged as is evidenced in a recent court case where a Gloucester County school district censored reviews of two R-rated movies from a school newspaper. Superior Court Judge, Robert E. Francis ruled that the student's rights were violated under the state Constitution. I feel this is a major break through for students' rights because it limits editorial control of school newspapers by educators and allows students to print what they feel is important. A newly proposed bill (A-557) would prevent school officials from controlling the content of student publications. Critics of the bill ...
- 1162: AIDS - What's new ?
- ... happen to them." Experts repeatedly remind us that infective agents do not discriminate, but can infect any and everyone. Like other communicable diseases, AIDS can strike anyone. It is not necessarily confined to a few high-risk groups. We must all protect ourselves from this infection and teach our children about it in time to take effective precautions. Given the right measures, no one need get AIDS. The pandemic continues: ----------------------- Many ... can pass the infection to their babies. While breastfeeding is a rare and unproven transmission route, health officials suggest that seropositive mothers bottle feed their offspring. AIDS is not confined to male homosexuals and the high risk groups: There are now reports of heterosexual transmission - form IV drug users, hemophiliacs or those infected by blood transfusion to sexual partners. There are a few reported cases of AIDS heterosexually acquired from a ... rules! Absolutely no evidence of spread by casual contact: ---------------------- ----------------------------- All the research to date points to the fact that AIDS is not very easy to catch. One University of Toronto microbiologist speculates that those with high antibody counts are probably not very infectious. The most infectious appear to be seemingly healthy persons carrying HIV without any sign of disease as yet. AIDS CANNOT BE PICKED UP CASUALLY via doorknobs, public ...
- 1163: Angina Pectoris
- ... the time, to flow through the coronary arteries. As a person grows older, fatty deposits will accumulate on the artery walls, especially if the linings of the arteries are damaged due to cigarette smoking or high blood pressure. As more and more fatty materials build up, they form plaques which causes the arteries to narrow and thus restricting the flow of blood. This process is known as atherosclerosis. However, angina usually ... lipoproteins are also called very low density lipoproteins (VLDL). They are most significant in the development of atheroma. The smallest lipoprotein particles, the alpha lipoproteins, contain a low concentration of cholesterol and triglycerides, but a high level of proteins, and are also known as high density lipoproteins (HDL). They are thought to be protective against the development of atherosclerotic plaque. In fact, they are transported to the liver rather than to the blood vessels. Lipoproteins and Atheroma The theory ...
- 1164: Bouchards View Of Canadian His
- ... not their own. "What happened in the rest of confederation, we didn't know." The teachers impressed upon their students that Great Britain was a land to be despised whereas the USA was held in high regard because it successfully rebelled against the British. (Simpson, 1993) While the past was revered in class and at home, present day politics were not discussed much. The teachers at school did not criticize Duplessis or the Union Nationale because it was paying the freight. His parents were devout supporters of the Duplessis regime and accepted their Anglo ruled economy as a fact of life. Phillipe ... building of a big and great Canada."(Bouchard, 1957) This article would indicate clearly that sovereignty was not on the mind of this student, yet.

The United States' plan, as outlined by President Johnson, was to increase the punishment until the price of continuing the war became too high and the enemy would quit. The Vietnamese did not respond according to plan. The war appeared endless, and finally a frustrated Johnson announced an end to escalation of the war and a willingness to negotiate ... were wounded. The United States spent over $150 billion on the war. Of the 2,700,000 men and women who fought in the war, many returned with deep psychological problems and suffered form a high rate of divorce, drug abuse, suicide, and joblessness. Many Americans opposed the U.S. role in Vietnam and criticized returning veterans, leaving them with a feeling that the nation did not appreciate their sacrifices. Also ... States accepted these terms and the crisis, which had the world on the brink of nuclear war, was over. The Cold War would not have another event in which tensions on both sides were so high. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was one of the strongest and most important pieces of legislation in support of civil rights in the United States. The law banned discrimination because of a person' ...

- New High-Speed Connections Will Change How We Work and Play Online Society is becoming ever more dependent on being electronically connected with every other part of the world. Worldwide communication and commerce are just two areas ... both of these new technologies offer? Connection speeds previously available only through a costly T1 connection. Both are allow connections approximately 10-20 times faster than existing dial-up analog modems. However, in attaining these high speeds, you have to give up your dedicated connection to the Internet. When you dial in to your Internet Service Provider, through an analog modem, a dedicated connection is established between you and your ISP ... developed to minimize the chance of having your PC broken into. The concerns over Cable and ADSL standards, security and capacity either have been or are being addressed. Both are being accepted as reasonably priced, high-speed alternatives to analog modem and ISDN Internet connections. As fast connections become the rule, rather than the exception, online content will be further enriched with multimedia content and will be truly interactive. How ...

- ... religious well-being of all members of the parish. Ever since Johns (Jr.) birth, he was perceived to go to Harvard. At the age of six, his parents sent him to a local dame school. Later he was sent to another school, in which he might have met John Adams, with whom he struck up a casual acquaintance. Like all the other children in town, he learned the basics of reading, writing, and figuring.All things seemed ... the invitation from the bishop and his wife, to live with them in Lexington.

- 1169: Fusion 2
- Fusion reactions are inhibited by the electrical repulsive force that acts between two positively charged nuclei. For fusion to occur, the two nuclei must approach each other at high speed to overcome the electrical repulsion and attain a sufficiently small separation (less than one-trillionth of a centimeter) that the short-range strong nuclear force dominates. For the production of useful amounts of energy, a large number of nuclei must under go fusion: that is to say, a gas of fusing nuclei must be produced. In a gas at extremely high temperature, the average nucleus contains sufficient kinetic energy to undergo fusion. Such a medium can be produced by heating an ordinary gas of neutral atoms beyond the temperature at which electrons are knocked out of ... possible to assemble on Earth a plasma sufficiently massive to be gravitationally confined. The hydrogen bomb is an example of fusion reactions produced in an uncontrolled, unconfined manner in which the energy density is so high that the energy release is explosive. By contrast, the use of fusion for peaceful energy generating requires control and confinement of a plasma at high temperature and is often called controlled thermonuclear fusion. In ...
