Answer:

In June of 1981, the CDC discovered AIDS in California among the homosexual population.  

Explanation:

The AIDS era officially began on June 5, 1981, when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) convened a press conference where they described five cases of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in Los Angeles. The following month there were several cases of Kaposi's sarcoma, a type of skin cancer. The first findings of these cases were made by Dr. Michael Gottlieb of San Francisco.

Although doctors knew both Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and Kaposi's sarcoma, the joint appearance of both in several patients caught their attention. The majority of these patients were sexually active homosexual men, many of whom also suffered from other chronic diseases that were later identified as opportunistic infections. The blood tests that were done on these patients showed that they lacked the proper number of a type of blood cells called CD4 + T cells. Most of these patients died within a few months.

Due to the appearance of pink spots on the body of the infected, the press began to call AIDS, the "pink plague", causing confusion, attributing it to homosexuals, although it was soon noted that Haitian immigrants, injecting drug users and recipients of blood transfusions also suffered from it. In 1982, the new disease was officially named Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).

For which purpose and audience would a website be the most effective?
miskamm [114]
I think D.
Informing the student body about the school’s new recycling programme.

For all of the others above, a website isn’t needed, as they can all be talked over in person or over the phone, but to inform a large amount of students, a website would be most helpful, considering that there are a lot of students and that they are all technologically advanced as well.

briefly describe the similarities between the feudal economic structure of medieval europe and medieval japan
Alona [7]
How Japanese Castles are similar to European Castles
1.They had large and tall walls for protection
2. They often had moats around them to discourage the digging of tunnels
3. They had narrow and steep stairways to make assault difficult
4. They had portholes for guns and for arrows
5. They often had a main gate area that could be used as a trap
6. They almost always had concentric rings of walls to give them multiple layers of protection
7.They capitalized on terrain features - often the best placement was at the top of a hill or small mountain. This gave a very advantageous position and view

DIFFERENCES
Unlike European feudalism Japan’s feudalism system did not have a true pyramid form with the monarch presiding over the less important nobles.

First, the authority in Japan was much less centralized than it was in the nation-states of Europe. Even though most of the local aristocrats paid lip service to the emperor, the rugged terrain of Japan made it very difficult for the emperor to fully control the local aristocracy. Therefore the local aristocrats had much more power in Japan than they ever had in France, Britain, or any other European country.

Secondly, even though the lower nobility in Japan (the samurai) swore fealty to their local lords, the local lords didn’t give the samurai any land of their own. When the European nobility receives land in exchange for their military services, the samurai did not join a landowning hierarchy. Instead of that they were given an independent income from their local lord based upon what that lord’s lands produced.

In contrast, European knights usually had their own serfs to work the land the knights received from their lord. While a Japanese samurai might have had servants, these servants did not work the land the way they would have done in Europe.
