In 2007 Congress tried to limit the influence of interest group by passing stricter laws on the actions that interest groups could use to influence policy because of a number of recent highly publicized scandals. The Senate barred gifts from lobbyists to Congressmen and women, Congress forced lobbying groups to disclose donations given to politicians and groups they controlled, as well as bundled lobbying contributions (when multiple lobbies or lobbyists support a campaign or politician) were more closely scrutinized. The goal was to reign in the influence of lobbyists in Congress.

HELP ME PLEASE If you apply 50 lbs of force to an object that weighs 49.5 lbs, describe what would happen to the object and how
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The force applied will cause the object to be displaced from its equilibrium position.

However, the motion caused by the force on the object will be slight/minimal because of the small difference between the weight of the object and the force applied.

Explanation:

The weight of the object, W = 49.5 lbs

Force applied, F = 50 lbs

From the information given, it is observed that the force applied is greater than the weight of the object, i.e. F > W

Since, the force applied is greater than the weight of the object, the force applied is sufficient to cause a displacement of the object from the equilibrium position since it is known that the only cause of motion is force.

Answer:

blind

Explanation:

To quantify the extent of atherosclerosis, each pathologist looked at every autopsy specimen and assigned a score. To keep the pathologists from knowing the source of the tissues beforehand, the study was <u>blind</u> to the pathologists.

Atherosclerosis is a disease resulting from the build up of fats around the arteries which could cause blood flow restriction or even bursting of the artery resulting in hemorrhage. It is more common in obesed  individuals.

The advantage of blinding the pathologist from knowing the source of the tissues is to increase objectivity in their analysis and remove any form of biased judgement based on the source of the tissue. For example, if the pathologist is aware that the source of the tissue is from an extremely obese man, he/she may likely give it a higher score.
