I propose to examine why they failed in realizing their ... 703,000 were Black and only 627,000 were White.11 Even after 1877, when federal troops were withdrawn12, Jim Crow laws did not fully emerge in the South and Blacks continued to vote in high numbers and hold various state and federal offices. Between 1877 and 1900, a total of ten Blacks were elected to serve in the US Congress.13 This occurred because Southern Democrats forged a unlikely coalition ...

- ... developing cancers. An American study found that learning and short term memory were impaired after 45 minutes exposure to radiation from phones in rats. And other studies of electromagnetic radiation on pregnant mice suggest that high exposure can affect intra-uterine development, confirmed recently in chicks. The effects in humans are unknown. In Britain a 27 year old woman with a brain tumour is taking a mobile phone manufacturer to court ... of those studies to the subject of this Information Bulletin. The current Australian exposure Standard is based on the well-established thermal effects of exposure to microwaves. That is, when tissue is exposed to sufficiently high levels of microwaves, the tissue is heated and damage may occur. The exposure limits are set well below levels where any significant heating occurs. The Standard also sets limits for pulsed radiation that are intended ...

- ... cancer, as well as tests for colon cancer and a few rare cancers that affect children and young adults. Genetic testing also exists for conditions such as Lou Gehrig's disease, Huntingtons disease and dangerously high cholesterol. Gene therapy is a novel approach to treating diseases based on modifying the expression of a person's genes toward a therapeutic goal. Gene therapy has been discussed in the context of treating lethal ... patient from whom they came. The first therapeutic trials utilizing this approach attempted to treat two genetic disorders, including children with an inherited form of immune deficiency as well as children and adults with extremely high levels of serum cholesterol. The field has quickly moved into more practical approaches for delivering genes based on so-called "in vivo" gene therapy in which the virus is directly administered to the patients. The ...

- ... He was born in Gori, which is now the Republic of Georgia, and his parents were both Georgian peasants who did not know how to speak Russian.

Here, he earned a full scholarship to the Tbilisi Theological Seminary, where he started reading and learning about the principles of Marxism. Stalin was later expelled from the ...
- 5415: The Suez Crisis of 1956: The War From Differing Viewpoints
- ... objective event in history, one could note several key outcomes of the war. It marked the beginning of the end of British and French colonial leadership in the region, and the start of an increasingly high American and Soviet involvement. The war also proved to the Arab nations of the area that the Israeli military machine was not one to be taken lightly, a lesson which would be forgotten and retaught ... that Israel began the conflict by their phased invasion across into the Sinai on October 29, 1956, and agreed to a withdrawal on November 6. None of my readings from either side of this particularly high political fence try to dispute this. Even that the war was incredibly lopsided and anti-climatic- like it seems so many of these wars were- is not contended by my Arab authors. This surprised me ...
- 5416: The Classical World
- ... it also helped develop the fields of ethics. The standards, values, and principles of a society were also contributed by various philosophers of the Classical World. Pythagoras founded the "Rosicrucian Fellowship," a religious and philosophical school. One of the three main rules of this school was, "No eating beans or meat," which most likely influenced the idea of the modern day vegetarian. Wanting people to think for themselves, Socrates did not want the people of his time to "imitate their ...
- 5417: Biologic Nutrition And Nutrients
- ... of a sugar called glycogen is the limiting factor in endurance competition. When the muscle glycogen supplied by calcium is exhausted, an athlete can no longer perform. Carbohydrate loading is a dietary procedure in which high-carbohydrate diets are used to build up muscle. Endurance time correlates with the glycogen content of muscle. Carbohydrate loading involves these steps: depleting the muscle glycogen one week before the event by exercising to exhaustion; consuming a moderate-protein, high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet for three days. Initially, carbohydrate furnishes about 90 percent of the energy, and fat about 10 percent. As the competition continues, less energy is derived from carbohydrate and more from free ...
- 5418: The History Of Corvettes
- ... project was top secret. With the average of about only three a day, only three hundred were made the first year. The sticker price on all three hundred were $ 3,498 which was a bit high. The only complaint was that it had a leaky roof. In December of 1953, the Corvette production moved to a General Motors Assembly Division plant on Union Boulevard, in St. Louis, Missouri. In the summer ... 566. This basic body design would go on for another 15 years. The only remarkable event that happened in 1969 was that the 250,000th Corvette ever made rolled off the production line. The original high performance LT1 engine, a 350 cubic inch "Small Block" was put into production in 1970. It generated 370 horsepower. That year the "Big Block" displacement was increased to 454 cubic inches and was rated at ...

- ... behind hikes in medical premiums or restriction of benefits. One reason why retail prices are going up is hat the new generation of drugs is expensive to produce. The cost of research and developments are high. Creating a complex, genetically engineered drug versus producing a conventional drug is like the difference between manufacturing a Ford Escort car and designing a fine German Mercedes-Benz. Indeed, the process of taking a drug ... Soon, these new treatments became the accepted standard practice. And even when equally effective drugs that cost less are introduced, doctors rend to continue giving their patients the most expensive medicine, which means prices remain high. In recent years, drug companies have boosted efforts to pitch their products directly to consumers in TV, radio, magazines and newspapers ads to create brand-name awareness. According to a study by the National Institute ...
- 5420: Mayor Of Casterbridge 3
- ... impoverished Henchard because he appeared 'far from attractive to a woman's eye, ruled as that is so largely by the superfices of things'. Similarly when Giles Winterborne meets Grace Melbury on her return from school she is perceived as manifesting the same 'weakness' and Giles wryly observes to himself that 'external phenomena' such as clothes or appearance 'may have great influence upon feminine opinion of a man's worth, so ... brothers and sisters'; the once poor Lucetta Templeman has just been elevated, as the attractive consort of Donald Farfrae, to the position of first lady of Casterbridge; Grace Melbur y has just returned from finishing school where she has been transformed from wood merchant's daughter to a 'finished lady'. Clearly every female character is different and each performs a different role in the novel in which she appears and in ...
