King had allegedly committed numerous traffic violations and was thought to be high on PCP. After a hour King pulled his car over and the officers swarmed in to arrest him. King began to struggle then the beating began. Little did the officers know a bystander was filming ... him. The officers are on trial now for involuntary man slaughter. {Daher 2} Although police beatings like this have no logical explanation why they happen, some cops have described a feeling of excitement during a high speed pursuit. This feeling now has a name. It is called High-Speed Pursuit Syndrome. High-Speed Syndrome is described as a mix between fear, excitement, and adrenaline. This syndrome cause the officer to vent all these emotions on the suspect at the end of the ...
- 2282: Chemistry Investigation
- ... after the temperature has reached about degrees, the enzymes will be denatured, therefore the reaction rate will decrease, eventually reaching zero. Enzymes function most efficiently within a physiological temperature range. Since enzymes are protein molecules, high temperatures can destroy them. An example of such destruction, called protein denaturation, is the curdling of milk when it is boiled. Increasing temperature has two effects on an enzyme. First, the velocity of the reaction ... somewhat, because the rate of chemical reactions tends to increase with temperature; second, the enzyme is increasingly denatured. Increasing temperature thus increases the metabolic rate only within a limited range. If the temperature becomes too high, enzyme denaturation destroys life. Low temperatures also change the shapes of enzymes. With enzymes that are cold sensitive, the change causes loss of activity. Both excessive cold and heat are therefore damaging to enzymes. The ... acts in the acid milieu of the stomach. There is no known organism that can survive in either a very acidic or a very basic environment. Most chemical reaction happen faster when the temperature is high. At higher temperatures molecules move around faster, this makes it easier for them to react together. Usually, a rise of 10 degrees Celsius will double the rate of a chemical reactor. Most of the ...
- 2283: Teen Pregnancy
- ... what they want to prevent arguments. The teens sometimes have no parental supervision and have the home all to themselves for hours at a time. Teens are able to take boyfriends or girlfriends home after school and do as they please. They even let their friends bring their girlfriend or boyfriend over.

Now teen moms show up at school to show off their new babies (preventing teen pregnancy 3). Now if teens get pregnant and their parents don't want them in the house or there is just no one there, teens have somewhere ... t make a right. Teens generally are going to argue and may live in poverty. This is not always for the best (preventing teen pregnancy 1). Teen moms that get married usually drop out of school and stay home with the baby. Some may have another child in the future and may eventually get divorced. Many teenage girls are left with no diploma, no job skills and the babies (pregnant ...
- 2284: Digital Block For A Function Generator
- ... make it a 8-bit counter. Tying CON output to the Up input of the second 74193 and the BON output to the Dn input does this. Also some logic is required to hold Dn high when the counter is counting up and Up high when counter is counting down. This is done with the use of an OR gate. The two clock inputs are fed into two different OR gates and so the count can be held high by logic on the other input of the gates. These inputs have been given the node names CLK_UP and CLK_DN. The logic is generated by a sequential circuit based around a JK ...
- 2285: The Color Purple - The Struggl
- ... one above would have never been published. Lack of education was a way the South tried to keep the blacks in a lower class. In The Color Purple, Celie is not allowed to go to school because she is to be kept barefoot and pregnant. She still received an education by learning what her little sister was teaching her, though. It was believed that if the blacks were kept uneducated then ... were coming south and starting colleges for colored people. Booker T. Washington wrote, in his autobiography, ONE day, while at work in the coal-mine, I happened to overhear two miners talking about a great school for coloured people somewhere in Virginia. This was the first time that I had ever heard anything about any kind of school or college that was more pretentious than the little coloured school in our town. In the darkness of the mine I noiselessly crept as close as I could to the two men who were ...

Partly to recieve additional income and partly to satisfy herself Emma asked John if she could open a school for young women in their own home. John hesitated at first, but he then approved her plan. She began teaching girls "higher" subjects, mostly mathematics, which had not been introduced to women before this time ... Monroe, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. They all approved her philosophy, although Emma never maintained that women were the political equals of men or should assume roles independent as men. In 1819 Emma moved her school from Vermont to Waterford, New York. The Troy Common Council raised four thousand dollars by taxes for Emma's expendatures, John Willard leased a building for Emma at a cost of four hundered dollars.

For a few years the Troy Female Seminary was the sole source of reasonable education for women in the United States. One of the more ...
- 2287: History Of The Aircraft Propeller
- ... blade propellers,inversely tapered and squared at the tips 5 ½ ft wide, were made of American Pine, planed smooth, covered with glued canvas and stayed to the propeller shafts with steel wire to handle the high thrust loads. These massive propellers produced 1,100lbs of thrust each during full power while rotating at 425rpm. Maxim's jumbo creation didn't last long however, it jumped the test track and suffered extensive ... the propeller one of the Wright brothers most challenging problems. Despite the lack of previous information to consult, the brothers were able to learn, through investigation and trial/error, that large propeller diameters would produce high thrust for a given power input. The brothers also determined that high torque produced by large, slow turning blades adversely affected the flying qualities (p-factor). On their first aircraft, they utilized 8 ½ ft propellers installed behind the wind to minimize airflow disturbance, incorporated counter-rotating ...
- 2288: Marijuana And Hemp, The Untold
- ... happen. The raw fiber can be used to produce strong twine or rope, woven into burlap, used for carpet warp or linoleum backing, or it may be bleached and refined, with resinous by-products of high commercial value. It can, in fact, be used to replace foreign fibers which now flood our markets. New Billion-Dollar Crop (Continued) From: Popular Mechanics Magazine, February 1938 Thousands of tons of hemp hurds are ... hemp grown in Minnesota. A new factory in Illinois is producing bond paper from hemp. The natural materials in hemp make it an economical source of pulp for any grade of paper manufactured, and the high percentage of alpha cellulose promises an unlimited supply of raw material for the thousands of cellulose products our chemists have developed. It is generally believed that all linen is produced from flax. Actually, the majority ... crop can add immeasurably to American agriculture and industry. MARIJUANA MYTHS Myth: Today's marijuana is more potent-therefore more harmful-than it was many years ago. Fact: There is no medical evidence that shows high-potency marijuana is more harmful than low-potency marijuana. Marijuana is literally one of the least toxic substances known. High-potency marijuana may actually be preferable to low-potency marijuana because less marijuana is ...

However, some studies using standard measures of stock value, such as Price to Earning ratios and Price to Dividend ratios, argue that the share prices were not too high. Another reason is that there were massive frauds and illegal activity in the 1920s stock market. However, evidence revealed that there was probably very little actual insider trading or illegal manipulation. (1929
