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.

Explain the value of sensor technology for storing crops.<br> It is for science.
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Sensors that measure a variety of essential soil properties on the go are being developed. These sensors can be used either to control variable rate application equipment in real-time or in conjunction with a Global Positioning System (GPS) to generate field maps of particular soil properties. Depending on the spacing between passes, travel speed, and sampling and/or measurement frequency, the number of measurement points per acre varies; however, in most cases, it is much greater than the density of manual grid sampling. The cost of mapping usually is reduced as well.

Which of the following has NOT caused the Ogallala Aquifer to begin to dry up? Winds that cause evaporation Pumping water for ir
noname [10]

The correct answer is - Large numbers of migratory birds;

The number of the migratory birds has always been pretty high and it hadn't resulted in the drying up of the Ogallala Aquifer, not to mention that those birds can not even reach that water because it is underground. Also, the number of the migratory birds have been steadily lowering, so even if they were using that water for drinking, it wouldn't have caused the drying out.

The Ogallala Aquifer has started to dry out because of numerous reasons, with the usage of its water for irrigation being the prime reason. The droughts have become longer, and the temperatures little higher, while the rainfall slightly smaller, so all of that affected the reserves of water in the aquifer negatively.
