The Pony Express
Chapter 1
At A Nation's Crisis
The Pony Express was the first rapid transit and the first fost mail line across the continent from the Missouri River to the Pacific Coast. It was a system
by means of which messages were carried swiftly on horseback across the plains and deserts, and over the mountains of the far West It brought the
Adontic coost and the Pacific slope ten days nearer to each other.
It had a brief existence of only sixteen months and was supplanted by the transcontinental telegraph. Yet it was of the greatest importance in
binding the East and West together at a time when overland travel was slow and cumbersome, and when a great national crisis made the rapid
communication of news between these sections an imperative necessity.
The Pony Express marked the highest development in overland travel prior to the coming of the Pacific railroad, which it preceded nine years.
It, in fact, proved the feasibility of a transcontinental road and demonstrated that such a line could be built and operated continuously the year
around-a feat that had always been regarded as impossible.
The operation of the Pony Express was a supreme achievement of physical endurance on the part of man and his ever faithful companion, the
horse. The history of this organization should be a lasting monument to the physical sacrifice of man and beast in an effort to accomplish
something worthwhile. Its history should be an enduring tribute to American courage and American organizing genius.

Answer:
Suggestions are opposite when the two of them can't be valid. An A suggestion, e.g., "all giraffes have long necks" can't be valid simultaneously as the comparing E recommendation: "no giraffes have long necks." Note, in any case, that relating An and E suggestions, while opposite, are not conflicting.

Answer:
At zero kelvin (minus 273 degrees Celsius) the particles stop moving and all disorder disappears. Thus, nothing can be colder than absolute zero on the Kelvin scale. Physicists have now created an atomic gas in the laboratory that nonetheless has negative Kelvin values.
Explanation:
Answer:
a) the oscillation of this field is in phase, when the magnetic field goes in the negative direction of y, the elective field goes in the positive direction of the z axis
b) the direction of the magnetic field perpendicular to this electric field and the speed in the negative x the magnetic field goes in the x direction and in the direction (1, - 1.1)
Explanation:
a) the polarization the determined wave oscillates the electric field, which is the z axis
As the wave travels on the negative x-axis and the magnetic field is perpendicular, this field goes on the positive y-axis
the oscillation of this field is in phase, when the magnetic field goes in the negative direction of y, the elective field goes in the positive direction of the z axis
be) in the case of a polarization in the xi plane the magnetic field must go in the direction of the magnetic field perpendicular to this electric field and the speed in the negative x the magnetic field goes in the x direction and in the direction (1, - 1.1)
because of conduction the metal spoon is a conductor so the heat is getting traveled through the spoon and into your hand
