Lanier Hickman Jr. Part 6: Collecting Solid Waste/No Longer Beasts of Burden. This part reviews the evolution of collection from the 1940s - when collection was done on the backs of men and animals - to the highly automated collection of today. Links to previous parts of our series may be found at the end of this article. This short history of collection in the United States from 1940 to 2000 is a story of the evolution of equipment. This evolution was driven by the desire of those in the refuse/solid waste–collection business to collect more materials for less money. Other motives, just as important, were to improve collection equipment to protect the public health and lessen the demands on the work force that traveled the streets everyday collecting solid waste. Regardless of the motives, the evolution of solid waste collection from a horse-drawn, human-powered enterprise to one of machines reflects the rapid technology shift of the last 50 years of the second millennium.

84. Volume E: American Literature Since 1945 By the 1970s, the counterculture had been assimilated with mainstream us culture; The 1950s and 1960s saw many changes in the world of American poetry. http://www.wwnorton.com/naal/vol_E/welcome.htm

Overview American Prose since 1945 Poetry since 1945 Notes After the war, the United States and the Soviet Union expressed their mutually adversarial stance through a Cold War, in which deterrence, rather than direct military intervention or actual combat, served as a primary means. In sharp contrast to the economic devastation and loss of human life of its allies Great Britain and the Soviet Union, the U.S. emerged from World War II in excellent economic shape. Continuity of the prewar and wartime growth and opportunity proved delusory, particularly for female factory workers and African American veterans. The 1960s were a decade of social conflict between conformity and individuality, tradition and innovation, stability and disruption. By the 1970s, the counterculture had been assimilated with mainstream U.S. culture; however, a call to tradition, which emerged not as a return to community and self-sacrifice but as a pursuit of wealth, dominated the 1980s. In response to the challenges of literary theory and the explosive growth of the information age, two literary developments emerged: the nonfiction novel and metafiction.

Landsea (landsea@aoml.noaa.gov) Hurricane Research Division NOAA/AOML 4301 Rickenbacker Causeway Miami, FL 33149 Abstract With this normalization, the trend of increasing damage amounts in recent decades disappears. Instead, substantial multidecadal variations in normalized damages are observed: the 1970s and 1980s actually incurred less damages than in the preceding few decades. Only during the early 1990s does damage approach the high level of impact seen back in the 1940s through the 1960s, showing that what has been observed recently is not unprecedented. Over the long-term, the average annual impact of damages in the continental United States is about $4.8 billion (1995 $) - substantially more th an previous estimates. Of these damages, over 83% are accounted for by the intense hurricanes (Saffir-Simpson 3, 4 and 5), yet these make up only 21% of the U.S.-landfalling tropical cyclones.

You are here allRefer Reference Panama History ... Panama Panama HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Brigadier General Omar Torrijos Herrera On November 18, 1903, Secretary of State John Hay, representing the United States, and Special Envoy Philippe Bunau-Varilla, representing the Republic of Panama, signed an agreement that became known as the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty. According to Article I of that treaty, the United States guaranteed Panamanian independence (see The 1903 Treaty and Qualified Independence , ch. 1). With that kind of insurance, the rulers of the new republic did not need to be concerned about developing armed forces. When the country gained its independence, an oversized battalion of former Colombian troops under the command of General Estéban Huertas became the Panamanian army. Huertas and his soldiers had favored the independence movement and had switched their allegiance from Colombia to Panama. The general was named commander in chief of the small army and became one of Panama's most prominent citizens; however, when he tried to give orders to the new republic's first president, Manuel Amador Guerrero, the general was forced into retirement, and the army was demobilized. Although Huertas failed in his attempt to use the armed force as a political instrument, he established a precedent for such attempts. The emergence of the National Guard and its successor institution, the FDP, as powerful actors in domestic politics is inextricably intertwined with the professional military career of Colonel Remón. Born in 1908 to a middle-class family, he studied at the then prestigious National Institute, which served as the training ground for sons of wealthy families. Upon graduation, he received a scholarship to attend the Mexican Military Academy, and he graduated from there in 1931. Because few Panamanian police officers at that time had academy training of any sort, he entered the National Police as a captain. By 1947 he had become commandant of police.

SEPARATE WORLDS: RESIDENTIAL SEGREGATION AND RACIAL ISOLATION The most stubborn continuity in American race relations has been residential segregation by race. In Michigan, as in the nation as a whole, whites and minorities seldom live in the same neighborhoods. The questions where do you live? and who are your neighbors? are not trivial. A person's perspectives on the world, his friends, her group of childhood peers, his networks and job opportunities, her wealth or lack of wealth, his quality of education all of these are determined to a great extent by where he or she lives. Current Patterns of Racial Segregations Residential segregation is the linchpin of racial division and separation. By segregation, I mean the separation of groups into neighborhoods dominated by members of a single racial or ethnic group. In most Michigan metropolitan areas, as in the nation, the degree of black-white racial separation in residence remains high, despite evidence of shifting white attitudes about race, despite successful court challenges to programs that perpetuated racial segregation, such as Shelley v. Kraemer

Information Literacy Blog ERIC Identifier: Publication Date: Author: McQuillan, Jeff Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Assessment and Evaluation Washington DC. Seven Myths about Literacy in the United States. ERIC/AE Digest. Serious problems exist with reading achievement in many United States schools. However, much of the commonly accepted wisdom about the academic performance of United States students is false. The best evidence we have on the reading crisis indicates that no crisis exists on average in United States reading. The purpose of this digest is to investigate seven of the most prevalentanddamaging myths about literacy achievement in the United States. MYTH 1: READING ACHIEVEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES HAS DECLINED IN THE PAST TWENTY-FIVE YEARS The best evidence on reading achievement in the United States comes from a national system of examinations established back in the late 1960s by the federal government to determine how United States schoolchildren were performing in a variety of school subjects. These exams, known as the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) are important barometers of educational achievement. They are given nationally to a representative sample of United States children. When the test was first administered in 1971, the average reading proficiency score for nine-year-old children was 208, for thirteen-year-old children was 255, and for seventeen year-old children was 285. The results of the most recent administration of the test (1996) revealed that the average reading proficiency score for nine-year-old children was 212, for thirteen-year-old children was 259, and for seventeen-year-old children was 287. These scores indicate that, despite a few minor shifts, reading achievement has either stayed even or increased over the past thirty years.

Please report any other use to FORESTER COMMUNICATIONS, INC., using the online form at http://216.55.25.242/crv_report.html By H. Lanier Hickman Jr. Part 7a: Landfill Gas Odors/Fires, Explosions, and Kilowatts. The evolution of sanitary landfills was reviewed in Parts 2 and 3 of this series. From the review of early literature and interviews with a number of landfill gas (LFG) pioneers and continuing leaders, the author concludes that LFG management in North America had three stages of development: odors/fires, explosions (migration), and energy recovery. Odors/fires and explosions will be discussed in this issue; LFG-to-energy will be discussed in the next issue. Links to other parts of our series may be found at the end of this article. Prior to using sanitary landfills, odors were a common concern at the open-burning dumps in use in the 1940s-1960s. One of the early attributes of the sanitary landfill that added to their acceptance was the effectiveness of early cover in reducing odors. While the open-burning dump was a gas generator, until cover material was used, the major concerns remained odors and fires. Only later did migration become an issue.

96. CIA's Role In The Study Of UFOs, 1947-90 the major Air Force effort to study the UFO phenomenon throughout the 1950s and 1960s. The 1960s Declining CIA Involvement and Mounting Controversy http://www.fas.org/sgp/library/ciaufo.html

From Studies In Intelligence Vol. 01 No. 1, 1997 A Die-Hard Issue CIA's Role in the Study of UFOs, 1947-90 Gerald K. Haines An extraordinary 95 percent of all Americans have at least heard or read something about Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), and 57 percent believe they are real. Former US Presidents Carter and Reagan claim to have seen a UFO. UFOlogistsa neologism for UFO buffsand private UFO organizations are found throughout the United States. Many are convinced that the US Government, and particularly CIA, are engaged in a massive conspiracy and coverup of the issue. The idea that CIA has secretly concealed its research into UFOs has been a major theme of UFO buffs since the modern UFO phenomena emerged in the late 1940s. In late 1993, after being pressured by UFOlogists for the release of additional CIA information on UFOs, DCI R. James Woolsey ordered another review of all Agency files on UFOs. Using CIA records compiled from that review, this study traces CIA interest and involvement in the UFO controversy from the late 1940s to 1990. It chronologically examines the Agency's efforts to solve the mystery of UFOs, its programs that had an impact on UFO sightings, and its attempts to conceal CIA involvement in the entire UFO issue. What emerges from this examination is that, while Agency concern over UFOs was substantial until the early 1950s, CIA has since paid only limited and peripheral attention to the phenomena. Background The emergence in 1947 of the Cold War confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union also saw the first wave of UFO sightings. The first report of a "flying saucer" over the United States came on 24 June 1947, when Kenneth Arnold, a private pilot and reputable businessman, while looking for a downed plane sighted nine disk-shaped objects near Mt. Rainier, Washington, traveling at an estimated speed of over 1,000 mph. Arnold's report was followed by a flood of additional sightings, including reports from military and civilian pilots and air traffic controllers all over the United States.
