'''Primates''' is an order of mammals which share ape-like characteristics. Several hundred [[species]] belong to the order.

They are often put into two large groups: the suborder Strepsirrhini, which include [[lemur]]s, tarsiers, and lorises; and the suborder Haplorrhini, which include the small tarsiers; the New World [[monkey]]s (spider and howler monkeys); Old World monkeys (languars and [[baboon]]s); and the Apes, which, as formulated by most [[biologist]]s and [[Anthropology|anthropologists]], include the lesser apes ([[gibbon]]s) and greater apes ([[gorilla]]s, [[chimpanzee]]s, and [[orangutan]]s).

Scientists who believe in [[evolution]] also claim that it includes [[human]]s, placing us with the family that includes the great apes, a theory rejected by creationists.

horrors and became a great advocate of [[Buddhism]]. He displayed tolerance towards all religions and helped erect shrines to [[Hinduism]] and [[Jainism]], another religion of India. He elevated the status of women. In Buddhism women could become monks. He also promoted trade with the expanding [[Roman empire]] to his West, and the growing [[Han dynasty]] in [[China]] to his East. After Ashoka died, the empire fell into civil war, and became vulnerable to outside invaders, such as the Bactrian [[Greeks]] in the second century B.C. and the Buddhist [[Kushan]] in 100 B.C. A council of Buddhist monks was convened under Kanishka to regulate Buddhism, and the result was [[Mahayana Buddhism]].

Ashoka is considered to be one of the greatest rulers in world history. Writer [[H.G. Wells]] said about Ashoka, "In the history of the world there have been thousands of kings and [[emperor]]s who called themselves 'their highnesses,' 'their majesties,' and 'their exalted majesties' and so on. They shone for a brief moment, and as quickly disappeared. But Ashoka shines and shines brightly like a bright star, even unto this day."

Perhaps the most important event in the history of Buddhism was the conversion of Ashoka Mauryan, the Indian emperor (269-232 B.C.). He chanced to meet Nigrodha, a Buddhist monk, who convinced him to devote his life to peace. Ashoka caused thousands of rock pillars to be erected, engraved with the teachings of Buddha. This was the first time Buddhist teachings were recorded.

There are two major types of surface mines; these are contour mines and open pit mines.

: '''Contour mining''' is conducted on hillsides where [[layers]] of the desired material are accessible. The [[overburden]] (material on top) is removed and the wanted material mined, then the overburden material is replaced.

: '''Open pit''' mining is simply the excavation of the overburden, and removal of the wanted material. The result is a large open pit. In some parts of the world, including the [[United Kingdom]], this method is known as '''open cast''' mining.

In recent times the mining companies are required to replace excess materials and replant vegetation so little trace of the mining remains.

One material which is surface mined is [[coal]].

Later, large forts shaped like playing cards were also built at intervals along the Wall. Sections of the Wall are preserved (though not at the original height of around 20ft), and forts like Housesteads, Chesters and Birdoswald are some of the most outstanding visible remains of the [[Roman Empire]]. The name of the last battle that [[King Arthur]] (allegedly) fought , Camlann, may derive from Camboglanna, one of the Roman fort names on the western part of the Wall.

Brown v. Legal Foundation

TLUL:

In '''''Brown v. {{TT2}}{{TT2}}Legal Foundation''''', the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] affirmed that the [[Fifth Amendment]] applies to protect income against complete takings by government. 538 U.S. 216 (2003). The unanimous Court agreed that a "law that requires that the interest on [client] funds be transferred to a different owner for a legitimate public use, however, could be a ''per se'' taking {{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}requiring the payment of 'just compensation' to the client." ''Id.'' at 240.

At issue in ''Brown'' was the constitutionality of a Washington law requiring attorneys to deposit client trust funds in a common account for the benefit of a [[leg{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}al aid]] program if the individual interest amounts to less than individual administrative costs. The Court split 5-4 against compensating the client for the taken interest based on the likely excess of administrative costs over income, but all Justices agreed that seizure of this interest did constitute a taking for purposes of the [[Fifth Amendment]].

American History Homework Seven Answers - Student Seventeen

2011-01-20T01:59:42Z

TLUL:

DanielleR.

1.‘The Gilded Age’, named that by Samuel Clemens, was the period during the late 1800’s where everything appeared to be golden and shiny, but underneath its surface it was full of corruption and greed.
{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}{{TT2}}
: Excellent, will use as a model answer!

2.I like Thomas Edison because despite everything he had going against him, being mostly deaf and deemed an idiot, he became one of the most influential men in the world. I think that if he hadn’t been homeschooled, his teacher would’ve ignored him because she thought he was dumb and he would’ve been discouraged. Putting Edison in public school would’ve been more of a handicap than being mostly deaf.

: Superb.

3.To Americans the frontier was land to acquire and inhabit. They were free to work it, produce food, and provide for their family.

: Terrific, but how did that influence their ''views''? Always be sure to answer the question that is asked: "How do you think the frontier might have affected the views of Americans?" (Minus 1).

4.I think that the freedom and choices America offers is the perfect environment for inventors to thrive in. They had nothing holding them back except their imagination.

: Good, nice point about imagination.

5.I think that political cartoons are an extremely important part of history. They stick with you more than words. They allow people to express their opinions in a way that grasps the reader without them feeling like they’re trying to be persuaded. One of the most famous and influential political cartoon is Uncle Sam’s ‘I want you’ picture. This is still extremely popular today.

: Superb.

6.Other than obviously Edison, Rockefeller made oil a big business and is still a hot topic today in the current election.

: Nice tie-in to the current election!

7.The cartoon depicts Uncle Sam on a horse sinking in the quicksand of gold. The cartoonist puts prosperity far away where Sam is trying to go, but has to get past all the bimetallism and controversy to get there. The cartoonist obviously does not see the use of gold as a way to success and prosperity.

: Good.

H3. '''Debate: Do you support a "spoils system" or a "civil service system"?'''
Although nothing can be 100% perfect because we’re only human, I think that a civil service system would probably work better than the spoils system. If a president wins the election and puts all the men in office that agree with his point of view, than he has more power. Power is never good in human hands.

: Excellent point!

H4. No, I do not support unions. In a union, it doesn’t matter how hard you work or how much you accomplish, unions just say that you aren’t being paid enough for it. This discourages working hard to earn your raise because you can be lazy and still get paid well for it.

: Superb again! Will also use as a model answer.

H5. My view of his speech was that it was extremely well written, but contained ideas that are not what America needs. He was speaking what Americans wanted to hear and on his own passion. It sounded good, but needed to be useful and applicable to actually be good.

: Excellent.

: Terrific answers. Score: 99/100. Congratulations!--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 18:57, 1 November 2008 (EDT)
