- 5792: Utility Deregulation
- ... systems during a depression period when electric companies were unable to secure funds for expansion (Weidenbaum 1995). Electricity service is customarily viewed as consisting of three parts: production of power, transmission of the energy over high-voltage lines, and low local distribution to the final customer. Most private firms in the industry are vertically integrated, providing generating, transmitting and distributing services as a single firm, such as Entergy Corporation in our ... price increases for smaller users. More competition seems inevitable and the precise plan to get there remains uncertain.

- 5795: Combined Sewer Overflows in the Boston Area
- ... hence the name combined sewer. A combined sewer system is fine in dry weather when the flow can be handled by the sewer lines and sent to Deer Island for treatment. In times of unusually high rainfall, the excess water entering the sewer from storm drains can overload the system and necessitate its release through the CSO's into one of the following bodies of water: the Charles, Mystic, or Neponset Rivers or directly into Boston Harbor itself. As bad as these CSO's are, they are necessary because without them in times of unusually high rainfall the sewers would back up into homes and businesses. CSO's are such a problem because they pollute the body of water into which they are released. CSO's also violate various federal and ...

Queue discipline (order of service) The queuing discipline for both of my examples would be ...
- 5797: National Constituent Assembly
- ... financial crises of the 1780's did not magically disappear when the feudal system was abolished. In fact, France's financial situation was becoming worse, with prices of bread and flour at an all time high. The Constituent Assembly, eager to solve France's economic problem, brought in a new currency, called the Assignats. Effectively, each Assignat was an ownership right to a piece of land, a kind of collateral from ... they appeared. Due to the lack of availability of bread and flour, many of the peasants were finding it impossible to keep up with the rising prices, and although recent reforms set limits on how high bread prices could go, the changes were not prospering the situation.

- 5800: Over Population
- ... to limit expanding populations. Many people are poor, and starving because of severe over population problems. Disease spreads through over populated areas, and malnutrition is a major factor in these areas. With the population so high, resources are running low, and there is not enough for everyone to have everything they need. Today, 1.3 billion of the world’s people are living on the equivalent of a dollar a day or less. Imagine how many more would be living on that limited amount of food, and clothing if the population expands too much more. Education would be rare among the high population, and jobs scarce. Sooner or later, there will be no more room on the earth for everybody to live, and a major problem will have to be faced. Expanding populations are dangerous things, and ...
