- 3021: Free Condoms Distribution Programs
- ... asking her parents for help because they are devout Catholics and would obviously not be too pleased, nor understanding of her sexual activities.

The preferable orientation of a straight dial would be horizontal, similar to the heading indicator found in glass cockpits. However, conflicting research has shown that no loss accuracy could be noted with high curvature dials (Murrell, 162). Another experiment showed that moving index displays with a fixed pointer are more accurate than a moving pointer on a fixed index (Adams, 200-1). Qualitative readings is the judgment of approximate values, trends, directions, or rate of variable change. This information is displayed when a high level of accuracy is not required for successful task completion (Adams, 197). A study conducted by Grether and Connell in 1948 suggested that vertical straight dials are superior to circular dials because an increase ...

I feel this issue should be decided by individual school systems and not mandated by the courts. However, if the school does choose to have a religious moment, all religions should be represented. This issue is a very private one, and no one should be judged by his or her feelings. Also, no student should ...

Aromatic compounds such as benzene, toluene, and polynuclear hydrocarbons are substantially present. Other constituents include waxes and complex, high molecular weight asphaltenes. (Abelson) All of these substances and more are present in Prudhoe Bay crude oil. When ingested, most of the compounds are nontoxic. Notable exceptions are some of the aromatic compounds, including benzene ... at rates of 3 percent per hour. Bragg says it now appears that every ebb tide may remove some oil - even after heavy weathering has rendered oil tarry and very insoluble in water. The unusually high levels of "mineral fines" -- clay "flours" produced by local glaciers -- along the southern Alaskan shoreline contributed to the unusually efficient emulsification of beached Valdez oil, the Exxon studies indicate. (Beached) They also suggest that adding ... a big deal of it. This outraged the public and the first thing that the clean up crews wanted to do was clean it and clean it fast. They made a big mistake by using high-pressure hot water cleaners. The frequently used high-pressure, hot water washing also "annihilates a lot of marine life that otherwise survive the spill," observes Alan J. Mearns of NOAA's ecological recovery monitoring ...

Unlike floppy disks, to erase such a disk at room temperature requires a very strong magnetic field, much stronger than what ordinary disk erasers provide. To aid in writing to this MO disks, a high-power laser heats up part of the disk to about 150 oC (or the Curie temperature), which reduces the ability for the disk to withstand magnetic fields. Thus, the disk is ready to be rewritten ... beam would not reflect to the photodetector. Another type of recordable medium, is the one-shot deal. The disk is shipped from the factory with nothing on it. As you go and use it, a high-power laser turns the transparent layer below the reflective layer opaque. The normal surface becomes the islands (on a normal CD) and the opaque surface the pits (pits on a normal CD do not ...

Transcendentalism diverged from Unitarianism because it valued "heart" above "mind". Emerson called Unitarianism "corpse-cold," "an icebox," with "coldness constantly increasing." Immediately after transcendentalism was acclaimed as a separate religious school, a question of miracles came up. Transcendentalists claimed that Biblical miracles are not important because miracles are all around us. "A mouse is miracle enough to stagger quintillions of infidels," said Walt Whitman. For transcendentalists ... passion for simplification and urge for naked confrontation with God. The leaders of transcendentalism were all Unitarian pastors, who took many old philosophies and ideas and wove them into Unitarianism, thus founding a new religious school. The reasons for the rise of transcendentalism were many.
