Angered ... also associated negatively unions as un-American, criminalistic, and violent. Many other activists died or received injuries for their cause all around the country.

After a few weeks of shutting down most of countries railroad system federal troops were sent in to try to end the nationwide strike. This resulted in more violence and death; in Chicago for ... Carnegie mill steel workers, this resulted in the death of seven guards and eleven strikers. The idea of demonstrations was often to get the attention of management to show that they mean business and can’t be pushed around so easily. New York garment workers won the right to unionize after a seven-month strike. They secured agreements for a closed shop, and firing of all scabs. Striking miners in ...
- 23454: Expansion on the Recent Discoveries Concerning Nitric Oxide
- ... It is also found in the intestine, cerebral cortex, and in the endothelial layer of blood vessels, yet to a smaller degree. Although the location of nitric oxide was found by this experimentation, it wasn’t until later that the function of the nitric oxide was studied. Its tie to other closely related neurons did shed some light on this. In Huntington’ s disease up to ninety-five percent of neurons in an area called the caudate nucleus degenerate, but no daphorase neurons are lost. In heart strokes and in some brain regions in which there is involvement of Alzheimer’s disease, diaphorase neurons are similarly resistant. Neurotoxic destruction of neurons in culture can kill ninety percent of neurons, whereas diaphorase neurons remain completely unharmed. Scientists studied the perplexity of this issue. Discerning the overlap ...
- 23455: The History of the Pony Express
- ... The Pony Express was only one of the many enterprises of Russell, Majors, and Waddell. Russell and Waddell began their western activities as government freight contractors on the Sante Fe Trail in their early 50’s.

- 23456: Fission or Fusion
- ... physicist Enrico Fermi succeeded in producing the first nuclear chain reaction. This was done with an arrangement of natural uranium lumps distributed within a large stack of pure graphite, a form of carbon. In Fermi's "pile," or nuclear reactor, the graphite moderator served to slow the neutrons. Nuclear fusion was first achieved on earth in the early 1930s by bombarding a target containing deuterium, the mass-2 isotope of hydrogen ... without reacting with material walls. In any useful fusion device, the energy output must exceed the energy required to confine and heat the plasma. This condition can be met when the product of confinement time t and plasma density n exceeds about 1014. The relationship t n ³ 1014 is called the Lawson criterion. Numerous schemes for the magnetic confinement of plasma have been tried since 1950 in the United States, the former USSR, Great Britain, Japan, and elsewhere. Thermonuclear reactions ...

- ... damaging drugs (heroin, cocaine, LSD). The only long term effects marijuana has on a person are the same as with cigarettes. No one would dare prohibit the sale and possession of those, and pot isn't treated with an array of chemicals. It's just picked, dried, and smoked. Marijuana has similar short term effects as those of beer, but more relaxing. Marijuana tends to mellow a person, while alcohol might make someone violent.
