23.1 American Isolationism and the European Origins of War
President Wilson had no desire to embroil the United States in the bloody and lengthy war that was devastating Europe. His foreign policy, through his first term and his campaign for reelection, focused on keeping the United States out of the war and involving the country in international affairs only when there was a moral imperative to do so. After his 1916 reelection, however, the free trade associated with neutrality proved impossible to secure against the total war strategies of the belligerents, particularly Germany’s submarine warfare. Ethnic ties to Europe meant that much of the general public was more than happy to remain neutral. Wilson’s reluctance to go to war was mirrored in Congress, where fifty-six voted against the war resolution. The measure still passed, however, and the United States went to war against the wishes of many of its citizens.
23.2 The United States Prepares for War
Wilson might have entered the war unwillingly, but once it became inevitable, he quickly moved to use federal legislation and government oversight to put into place the conditions for the nation’s success. First, he sought to ensure that all logistical needs—from fighting men to raw materials for wartime production—were in place and within government reach. From legislating rail service to encouraging Americans to buy liberty loans and “bring the boys home sooner,” the government worked to make sure that the conditions for success were in place. Then came the more nuanced challenge of ensuring that a country of immigrants from both sides of the conflict fell in line as Americans, first and foremost. Aggressive propaganda campaigns, combined with a series of restrictive laws to silence dissenters, ensured that Americans would either support the war or at least stay silent. While some conscientious objectors and others spoke out, the government efforts were largely successful in silencing those who had favored neutrality.
23.3 A New Home Front
The First World War remade the world for all Americans, whether they served abroad or stayed at home. For some groups, such as women and blacks, the war provided opportunities for advancement. As soldiers went to war, women and African Americans took on jobs that had previously been reserved for white men. In return for a no-strike pledge, workers gained the right to organize. Many of these shifts were temporary, however, and the end of the war came with a cultural expectation that the old social order would be reinstated.
Some reform efforts also proved short-lived. President Wilson’s wartime agencies managed the wartime economy effectively but closed immediately with the end of the war (although they reappeared a short while later with the New Deal). While patriotic fervor allowed Progressives to pass prohibition, the strong demand for alcohol made the law unsustainable. Women’s suffrage, however, was a Progressive movement that came to fruition in part because of the circumstances of the war, and unlike prohibition, it remained.
23.4 From War to Peace
American involvement in World War I came late. Compared to the incredible carnage endured by Europe, the United States’ battles were brief and successful, although the appalling fighting conditions and significant casualties made it feel otherwise to Americans, both at war and at home. For Wilson, victory in the fields of France was not followed by triumphs in Versailles or Washington, DC, where his vision of a new world order was summarily rejected by his allied counterparts and then by the U.S. Congress. Wilson had hoped that America’s political influence could steer the world to a place of more open and tempered international negotiations. His influence did lead to the creation of the League of Nations, but concerns at home impeded the process so completely that the United States never signed the treaty that Wilson worked so hard to create.
23.5 Demobilization and Its Difficult Aftermath
The end of a successful war did not bring the kind of celebration the country craved or anticipated. The flu pandemic, economic troubles, and racial and ideological tensions combined to make the immediate postwar experience in the United States one of anxiety and discontent. As the 1920 presidential election neared, Americans made it clear that they were seeking a break from the harsh realities that the country had been forced to face through the previous years of Progressive mandates and war. By voting in President Warren G. Harding in a landslide election, Americans indicated their desire for a government that would leave them alone, keep taxes low, and limit social Progressivism and international intervention.
through which cities would you have to travel to get through to get from marakanda to antioch
Answer:
Chang'an to Duhuang
Explanation:
The city of Marakanda to Antioch are linked through the Silk Road which is known for its prevalent silk trade. The Silk Road is a trade route in the Asian-Pacific region which connects the East to the West.
The cities through which an individual can travel to get to Marakanda and Antioch are Chang'an to Duhuang
The cities that need to be commuted to travel for getting through from Marakanda to Antioch are Chang'an to Dunhuang. These two cities are a major part of the silk route.
The silk route was created between the Pacific region of Asia from the western world. The route was created with an intention to increase the trade between the world.
Silk route was created with a view to start the trade between the East Asia to the Western world round the globe and was mostly used to export superior quality silk from China to European and American nations.The distance between the two cities from Chang'an to Marakanda is approximately 3000 miles and it falls in the route to reach Antioch. The total route ranges to about 4000 miles.The silk route stretches between the two countries and ranging about more than 6000+ kilometers in total and was used to increase the trade and commute between the pacific Asian region to the Western and European nations.Hence, one has to pass through the cities like Marakanda to Antioch are the cities of Chang'an and Dunhuang.

What would you expect to find muscle tissue in a plant?Why or why not?
Answer:
No, I would not expect to find muscle tissue in plants, because the main purpose of muscle tissues is faciliating movement, and plants do not move a lot.
Explanation:
Plants do move, but they have very limited locomation, and can only do so in responde to stimuli (such as light, which causes leaves to move towards its source). For this reason, while plants do have some motor cells, located in different parts depending on the plant, they lack the amounts thay we find in animals, and as said before, they also lack muscle tissue itself.
what is the value of 12^0

The answer is 1
Explanation:
5) Estamos em Greenwich (Londres) e são exatamente 14 horas do dia 10 de outubro de 2005. Que horas são em: 1. Um ponto localizado a 45° de longitude oeste? 2. Um ponto localizado a 60° de longitude leste? 3. Um ponto localizado a 75° de longitude oeste?
Answer: 1. October 10th, 2005 at 11 o'clock;
2. October 10th, 2005 at 18 o'clock;
3. October 10th, 2005 at 9 o'clock;
Explanation: Time zones are determined through a division of the world in 24 distinctive timezones. This division is due to the rotation of the Earth: in 24 hours, the Earth spins around its own center, so in 1 hour, it moves 15°.
The initial timezone is Greenwich Mean Time and passes over Great Britain.
From it, at each 15°, it is 1 hour more, if the point's position is at the east of Greenwich and 1 hour less, if it is at the west of Greenwich.
For example, in each situation from the question:
1. A point is located at 45° due west:
45/15 = 3,
There are a difference of 3 time zones and it is due west:
The date and time is October 10th, 2005 at 11 o'clock.
2. A point is 60° due east:
60/15 = 4
There are a difference of 4 time zones and as it is east:
The date and time will be October 10th, 2005 at 18 o'clock.
3. Point at 75° west:
75/15 = 5
There are a difference of 5 time zones, west:
The date and time will be October 10th, 2005 at 9 o'clock.
Resposta:
1. 10 de outubro de 2005 às 11 horas;
2. 10 de outubro de 2005 às 18 horas;
3. 10 de outubro de 2005 às 9 horas;
Explicação: os fusos horários são determinados por meio de uma divisão do mundo em 24 fusos horários distintos. Essa divisão se deve à rotação da Terra: em 24 horas, a Terra gira em torno de seu próprio centro, portanto, em 1 hora, ela se move 15 °.
O fuso horário inicial é o horário de Greenwich e passa pela Grã-Bretanha.
Dele, a cada 15 °, passa-se 1 hora a mais, se a posição do ponto estiver a leste de Greenwich, e 1 hora a menos, se estiver a oeste de Greenwich.

What is the central angle of the arc in degrees
You're building a 12 foot ramp to the entrance of a building 3 feet above the ground. The ADA regulations require the incline of the ramp to be no more than 5 degrees. What is the degree measure of your angle of elevation? Will it fit the requirements? If not, can you think of a way to make it work.
Answer:
Explanation:
We can assume that:
the 12 foot ramp to the entrance of a building is the base of a right angled triangle and the 3 feet above the ground should be the height above the ground basement. The by using the tangent of a triangle from the knowledge of our trigonometric function; we have:
[tex]\mathbf{tan \ \theta = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{tan \ \theta = \frac{3}{12}} \\ \\ \mathbf{tan \ \theta = 0.25 } \\ \\ \mathbf{\theta = tan^{-1} (0.25)} \\ \\ \mathbf{\theta = 14.04^o}[/tex]
The degree measure of the angle of elevation is 14.04°
NO, it doesn't fit the requirements.
We can increase the foot ramp to 34 feet instead of being the 12 given value in order to fit the requirements.

Which of the following statements best describe why the Dead Sea's water levels are decreasing?
The Dead Sea is the final destination for the water of the Jordan River; there is no outlet.
High levels of salt make the Dead Sea a poor environment for aquatic life.
More water is being siphoned off the Jordan River for agriculture.
The extraction of numerous minerals has left the sea at risk of shrinking.
Answer:
Sorry for being late but the answer would be C: More water is being siphoned off the Jordan River for agriculture.
Explanation:
The Jordan River flows into the Dead Sea, 200 miles long. Although it is true that minerals are extracted from the Dead Sea, it is not a factor to water shortage. More water has been used from the Jordan River to irrigate and for agriculture, thus less water reaches the Dead Sea. Hope this helps :)

По никакъв начин не успявам да сваля долната граница на кръвното си налягане
<em>Нямам някакви сериозни оплаквания, освен леко главоболие от време на време, но това ме притеснява. Опасно ли е това състояние? Съществуват ли народни средства, които да помогнат?<br /> </em><br /> Долната граница на кръвното налягане отразява работата на сърцето, когато кръвта запълва малките кръвоносни съдове и се кръвоснабдява сърдечният мускул. При артериална хипертония се повишават и двата показателя - горната и долната граница, както сме свикнали да го наричаме. Обаче в някои индивидуални случаи долната граница, т.е. диастоличното кръвно налягане, е високо, без да се е повишила горната граница. Например 130/115 или 120/100. В медицината такова състояние се нарича диастолично изолирано кръвно налягане. В такива ситуации, понеже няма явни признаци и оплаквания, човекът решава да пие хапчета за сваляне на кръвното, защото така са го посъветвали близки например. При такова самолечение обаче рязко може да спадне горната граница, която по принцип си е била нормална. Високата долна граница означава, че сърцето постоянно се намира в напрежение и движението на кръвотока в него се нарушава. След известно време нещата се задълбочават, процесът става необратим и води до изменения в сърдечния мускул и образуване на тромби. <br /> <strong><br /> <br /> Запомнете причините<br /> </strong><br /> - Наследственост.<br /> - Неправилно хранене - много мазнини и особено вкусно подсоленото ястие.<br /> - Затлъстяване.<br /> - Употребата на алкохол, особено червено вино, коняк и водка, рязко повишават долната граница на кръвното.<br /> - Никотинът стеснява кръвоносните съдове, което пак повишава диастоличното кръвно налягане.<br /> - Основна причина за внезапно повишаване на долната граница е стресът.<br /> - И не на последно място - употребата и прекаляването с подсладени разхладителни напитки. <br /> <strong><br /> <br /> Медикаментозното лечение има ли алтернатива<br /> </strong><br /> Имайте предвид, че диагнозата “изолирано диастолично налягане” говори за сериозно заболяване, което изисква намесата на много специалисти. Доверете се на своя лекуващ лекар, редовно следете кръвното си налягане, изпълнявайте препоръките относно консервативното лечение. Хубавото е, че медикаментозното лечение успешно се допълва от прием на седативни и хипотензивни лечебни билки - божур, валериана, страхливче. Те въздействат благоприятно на ендокринната и сърдечносъдовата система, защото намаляват отделянето на хормони и силно намаляват стресовото напрежение. Специалистите предлагат няколко много полезни рецепти:<br /> <br /> Страхливчето е лек диуретик и увеличава силата на сърдечните съкращения. Залейте 2 супени лъжици от суровината с две чаши гореща вода и оставете настойката да престои 15-20 минути. Изпийте я на 3-4 пъти през деня и един път преди сън.<br /> <br /> Валерианата отдавна е известна с благоприятните си свойства и освен на сърцето, тя влияе положително и при заболявания на щитовидната жлеза, отслабва възбудимостта, обусловена от нейната хиперфункция. Етои рецептата: от вечерта сложете в термоса една супена лъжица корени от валериана и залейте с чаша гореща вода. Сутринта, като се събудите, прецедете настойката и приемайте по една супена лъжица след ядене 3-4 пъти на ден. Внимание! Не се препоръчва да се пият валерианови препарати повече от 1,5-2 месеца.<br /> <br /> Не пренебрегвайте лечебните свойства и на божура. Хората сякаш не обръщат внимание на тази наистина ефикасна билка. Сложете една супена лъжица да поври 5 минути в чаша вода и прецедете. Пийте по една супена лъжица преди ядене по 3 пъти на ден. Можете да си набавите аптечна настойка, като приемате по една чаена лъжичка 3 пъти на ден в продължение на един месец.<br /> Редувайте билките всеки месец и имайте търпение, защото те действат по-бавно, но по-ефикасно.<br /> <br /> <em><strong><br /> Яна ГРОЗЕВА</strong></em>
