- 462: Harrison Ainsworth Rookwood An
- In the early nineteenth century, an interest in criminals and the common highwayman arose in Europe. Many magazines in London, such as Bentley s Miscellany, Fraser s Magazine, and The Athenaeum featured sections that were reserved for stories about highwayman and their numerous adventures. The growing interest in the subject inspired many authors to write about the various exploits of popular criminals and highwayman. Some prominent examples of this type of novel were Edward Bulwer s Paul Clifford (1830) and Eugene Aram ... half-brothers in a conflict over the family inheritance. The English criminal who Ainsworth decides to entangle in Rookwood was Dick Turpin, a highwayman executed in 1739. However, echoing Bulwer, Ainsworth s explanation for his interest in Dick Turpin (like Bulwer s explanation in his choice of Eugene Aram as a subject) is personal and familial (John, 1998, p. 31). Though the basis of the novels seem similar, Ainsworth treated ...

He selfly taught himself how to play the piano, and he enjoyed being around the surroundings of nature. Ansel attended both public and private school. At home his father gave him lessons in math and French. In 1915 when Ansel was 13, his father bought him a season pass to the Panama Pacific Worlds Fair, in which he visited annually. Ansel took much interest in the Armory Show exhibition. This exhibition contained modern art that had been first presented in New York City in 1913. There was also a music exhibition that took Ansel's interest. Ansel took his first photograph in 1916 at age 19, when he and his parents went on a trip to Yosemite National Park. He took his picture with a Kodak Box Brownie camera. His ...
- 464: Stress On Police Officers
- ... has the effects of stress on police work. With the recent attention that police suicide has received in the media there have been a number of reviews on it. Between 1934 and 1960 police suicide rates were half that of the general population. Between 1980 to the present, suicide rates in some departments almost doubled. What is the difference? You can't choke them anymore! Street justice is all but gone. Everyone has video cameras. The media gets off on putting down cops. Politicians continue ... own hand as do in the line of duty. (New York Times, 1994) A study of 2376 Buffalo NY police officers found that, compared to the white male population police officers, there were higher mortality rates for cancer, suicide, and heart disease. The suggested reason: Higher stress levels. Every study done points to the higher levels of stress police officers face, but what form does that stress take? With suicide ...
- 465: Slave Ownership In The Southern United States
- ... states that the final number of whites directly involved with slavery probably "did not exceed 2,000,000. If so, not one-third of the population of the South and border States had any direct interest in slavery as a form of property." Olsen uses two more studies to show that these numbers, or very slight variations, are widely accepted and concedes that they are probably correct, but he disagrees with ... most part, weaker in comparison to the previous studies with the possible exception of a comment by Frederick Jackson Turner in which he questioned the study by Rhodes. He said of Rhodes idea of an interest in slavery solely with planters and certain higher classes, "Logically, this would lead to the conclusion that the institution of private property in the United States rests on the interest of only the most prosperous, who control the larger portion of the property but constitute only a very small percentage of the population. The great slaveholders of the south represented the concentration of wealth ...
- 466: Stars
- ... oxygen. It is this enormous energy source that makes long- lasting, self-luminous stars possible. In an attempt to determine the precise mechanism providing the energy for stars, physicists in the early 1930s measured the rates of several nuclear reactions in the laboratory. In 1938, Hans Bethe showed that the carbon-nitrogen cycle could account for a star's long-lasting luminosity (see CARBON CYCLE, astronomy). In Bethe's theory, carbon acts as a catalyst in the conversion of hydrogen to helium. The small amount needed is converted to nitrogen, then converted back to carbon to be used again. The reaction rates at the temperature and density in the core of the Sun are fast enough to produce (10 to the power of 33) ergs/sec, the luminosity of the Sun. Later it was shown that the ... the proton-proton reaction beats out the Bethe cycle and can occur with no carbon or nitrogen present, if the temperature is about 10,000,000 K. In equations for the proton-proton reaction, the rates increase with the fourth power of the temperature, so that at a temperature of 20,000,000 K the rate is 16 times faster than at 10,000,000 K. Lithium and beryllium are ...

Over this period, the national rate of emergency room visits for asthma only changed by 1.8 million visits. Hospitalization: Between 1979-1980 and 1993-1994, the estimated national number of asthma - related hospitalization increased from 386,000 to 466,000. Hospitalization rates for asthma were consistently higher among blacks than they were among whites. During 1988 - 1994, asthma hospitalization rates increased in the Northeast but decreased in the West and Midwest. Asthma hospitalization rates were highest among people 0-4 years of age, and lowest among people 15-34 years of age. Mortality: Complications ...
