I am so upset at myself. I don’t know where my head was. Finally, here I was, with $80 to my name (which is meager compensation for a two-month cattle drive), and then I lose it all gambling. Just one night, and now I am bankrupt all over again. Yesterday was my 22nd birthday, as well as my payday, so I allowed myself a little gambling in Abilene, Kansas, a cow town. But I got so caught up in the action that I couldn’t stop, and pretty soon, I was broke.

I had been hoping to save enough money to start my own business, Bronco Jones and Company, but I suppose that will just have to wait for the next cattle drive. Hopefully, by then I will have better sense.

But enough talk about that. I shall write about the cattle drive, in case I ever look back in this journal 20 years from now and wonder what it was like. Cowhands have very tough jobs, not to mention boring at times. I am a swing rider, and I help keep the cattle from straying. There are several other cowhands and, of course, a point rider and a cook. Lucky for us, we now have a talented cook who can turn anything into a delicious meal. We've had much worse cooks in the past.

One little piece of excitement that sticks out in my mind is the day a single gunshot started a cattle stampede. I didn’t even have time to wonder where it came from, for in a split second, the longhorns had already taken off at an alarming run. It was all chaos for some time. Finally we managed to slow down the stampeding herd by turning them in a wide circle. That memory shall certainly amuse me for some years to come, and I do need some fun, for tomorrow I am returning to Texas for yet another cattle drive. I hope it's my last.

A bicameral legislature features

stepladder [879]

The "bi" in the word "bicameral" refers to the number 2: a bicameral legislature features two legislative bodies (the correct answer is D).

A legislature with one body would be called "unicameral".

Most legislatures only have one or two bodies, so the other words are not often used (and especially 100 legislative bodies would not be feasible to maintain).

the population of Chicago is about 3,000,000. how does that compare to the total number of dead and wounded in World War 1? ( in

ivanzaharov [21]

During World War I, 116,516 US soldiers were killed and 204,002 were wounded. If you add those two numbers together, the total number of US soldiers killed or wounded was 320,518.

You can represent that as a fraction of the current population of Chicago like this:

$\frac{320,518 soldiers}{3,000,000 Chicagoans}$

For simplicity's sake (since I assume the Chicago population number is an estimate), let's round the number of soldiers killed or wounded down to 300,000. That would look like this:

$\frac{300,000 soldiers}{3,000,000 Chicagoans}$

We can simplify that down a lot by dividing the number of soldiers and the number of Chicagoans by the least common denominator of 300,000. That would give us this fraction:

$\frac{1 soldier}{10 Chicagoans}$

So for every 1 US soldier killed or wounded in World War I, there are 10 Chicagoans living in the city today.

natta225 [31]

The similarities between eastern and western philosophy are greater than any differences cited by modern-day writers and lecturers on the topic. The most often cited difference is that western philosophy is 'fragmentary' while eastern philosophy is 'holistic'.
