What improvements in health care were the Young Lords responsible for?

History

Zolol [24]3 years ago

Answer:

The confirmation of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court has stirred a wide sense of pride among Puerto Ricans. But some the roots of that Puerto Rican pride, many would argue, took hold 40 years ago this summer, with the founding in New York City of the Young Lords, a group that used confrontational tactics to bring services and attention to the residents of East Harlem, or El Barrio, and beyond.

The young men (and a handful of women) — a half-generation older than Ms. Sotomayor — deployed attention-grabbing strategies to draw attention to social inequality. They piled garbage on Third Avenue and set it ablaze. They took over a church and ran a free children’s breakfast program. They seized hospital equipment and moved it to where it was needed most. They went through neighborhoods testing for lead paint poisoning and tuberculosis.

​Trace how the Watergate crisis brought an end to the Nixon presidency.
Tamiku [17]
The Watergate break-in started when a group of men, known as the "plumbers," broke into the Democratic headquarters. They were arrested for this break-in.

Shortly after this two reporters from the Washington Post (Woodward and Bernstein) found that the current US president, Richard Nixon, might have been involved in ordering this break-in. Their confidential source provided details on how Nixon was involved.

Nixon denied these claims. However, a full scale investigation was launched. During this investigation, the court ordered Nixon to hand over recorded conversations from his office in the White House. He refused, was brought to court, and the Supreme Court ruled that he must turn over the recorded conversations.

These tapes showed Nixon's guilty, causing him to resign shortly after the court case.

Touch typing is an example of a way that technology is improved by new....
Tju [1.3M]

Correct answer:  method or methods

"Touch typing" means to use a typewriter keyboard (or today, computer keyboard) without looking at the keys.  The typist has a "touch" or "feel" for where all the keys are and can type more quickly by not needing visual confirmation of the keys they are striking as they type.  I'm touch typing as I write this answer by the way -- I had a very good (and very fussy) keyboard instructor back in high school who drilled us over and over again in learning our keystrokes.  

The practice of touch typing is sometimes credited to Frank Edward McGurrin, who was a court stenographer in Salt Lake City, Utah, and also taught typing classes.  He won a typing contest held in Cincinnati in 1888 using his method.  He developed his method while serving as a law office clerk in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  He said of those early days of his career: "Before the end of the year 1878 I could write upwards of 90 words a minute in new matter without looking at the keyboard."
