The Alkali metals are a chemical series. They are the elements in Group 1 of the Periodic Table - Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Caesium and Francium.
The alkali metals are silvery colored, soft, low density metals, which react readily with halogens to form ionic salts, and with water to form strongly alkaline (basic) hydroxides. These elements all have one electron in their outermost shell, so the energetically preferred state of achieving a filled electron shell is to lose one electron to form a singly charged positive ion.
Hydrogen, with a solitary electron, nominally belongs in the alkali metals group. However, removal of that single electron requires considerably more energy than for the other alkali metals. Like the halogens, only one additional electron is required to fill in the outermost shell of the hydrogen atom, so hydrogen can be regarded in some respects as behaving like a halogen; its elemental form is a diatomic gas, and it can even form salts (called hydrides) with the alkali metals, where the metal has donated an electron to the hydrogen, almost as if hydrogen were actually a halogen.

Criminal Justice: A Brief Introduction is a book written by Frank Schmalleger and intended to serve as an introductory text in the study of the American criminal justice system . There have been four editions; with the latest written in 2002. The text is printed by Prentice Hall and Pearson Education. The publisher is Jeff Johnston.Schmalleger states, "Criminal justice is a dynamic and fluid field of study. As accelerated change engulfs American society, it is appropriate that a streamlined and up-to-date book be in the hands of students. The information age and all that it has wrought is here..."
Schmalleger adds, "It is my hope that the technological and publishing revolutions will combine with growing social awareness to facilitate needed changes in our system; and will supplant self-serving system-perpetuated injustices with new standards of equity, compassion, understanding, fairness, and justice for all."

The First Epistle of John is a book of the Bible New Testament.It the fourth of the catholic or "general" epistles. It was traditionally held to have been written by John the Evangelist, and probably also at Ephesus, and when the writer was in advanced age.
Although the epistle's content shows much agreement with the Gospel of John (without, however, quoting that book), it is today an open question whether a common authorship can be assumed.
The purpose of the apostle (1:1-4) is to declare the Word of Life to those to whom he writes, in order that they might be united in fellowship with the Father and his Son Jesus Christ. He shows that the means of union with God are, (1) on the part of Christ, his atoning work (1:7; 2:2; 3:5; 4:10, 14; 5:11, 12) and his advocacy (2:1); and (2), on the part of man, holiness (1:6), obedience (2:3), purity (3:3), faith (3:23; 4:3; 5:5), and love (2:7, 8; 3:14; 4:7; 5:1).

The First Epistle to the Corinthians is a book of the Bible in the New Testament. It is a letter from Paul to the people of Corinth, Greece.It was written from Ephesus (16:8) about the time of the Passover in the third year of the apostle's sojourn there (Acts 19:10; 20:31), and when he had formed the purpose to visit Macedonia, and then return to Corinth (probably AD 57).
The news which had reached him, however, from Corinth frustrated his plan. He had heard of the abuses and contentions that had arisen among them, first from Apollos (Acts 19:1), and then from a letter they had written him on the subject, and also from some of the "household of Chloe," and from Stephanas and his two friends who had visited him (1:11; 16:17). Paul thereupon wrote this letter, for the purpose of checking the factious spirit and correcting the erroneous opinions that had sprung up among them, and remedying the many abuses and disorderly practices that prevailed. Titus and a brother whose name is not given were probably the bearers of the letter (2 Corinthians 2:13; 8:6, 16-18).
The epistle may be divided into four parts:
1. The apostle deals with the subject of the lamentable divisions and party strifes that had arisen among them (chapters 1-4).
2. He next treats of certain cases of immorality that had become notorious among them. They had apparently set at nought the very first principles of morality (5, 6).
3. In the third part he discusses various questions of doctrine and of Christian ethics in reply to certain communications they had made to him. He especially rectifies certain flagrant abuses regarding the celebration of the Lord's supper (7-14).
4. The concluding part (15, 16) contains an elaborate defense of the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead, which had been called in question by some among them, followed by some general instructions, intimations, and greetings.
This epistle "shows the powerful self-control of the apostle in spite of his physical weakness, his distressed circumstances, his incessant troubles, and his emotional nature. It was written, he tells us, in bitter anguish, 'out of much affliction and pressure of heart...and with streaming eyes' (2 Corinthians 2:4); yet he restrained the expression of his feelings, and wrote with a dignity and holy calm which he thought most calculated to win back his erring children. It gives a vivid picture of the early church... It entirely dissipates the dream that the apostolic church was in an exceptional condition of holiness of life or purity of doctrine." The apostle in this epistle unfolds and applies great principles fitted to guide the church of all ages in dealing with the same and kindred evils in whatever form they may appear.
The subscription to this epistle states erroneously in the Authorized Version that it was written at Philippi. This error arose from a mistranslation of verse 16:5, "For I do pass through Macedonia," which was interpreted as meaning, "I am passing through Macedonia." In 16:8 he declares his intention of remaining some time longer in Ephesus. After that, his purpose is to "pass through Macedonia."

An identity function f is a function which doesn't have any effect: it always returns the same value that was used as its argument.Formally, if M is a set, we define the identity function idM on M to be that function with domain and codomain M which satisfies
If f : M → N is any function, then we have f o idM = f = idN o f. In particular, idM is the identity element of the monoid of all functions from M to M.
- idM(x) = x for all elements x in M.
When choosing M equal to the positive integers, one obtains the identity function Id(n), which is a multiplicative function considered in number theory.

Managing Urban America is a book originally written in 1979 by David R. Morgan and Robert E. England. There have been four subsequently updated editions printed since. The 5th Edition was printed in 1999 and contains 402 pages. The topic is urban management.
Improved Urban Management -- Needed Now More Than Ever
The authors begin, "Until recently, many assumed that city governments would continue to grow and prosper. A report from the International City Management Association had suggested that the inevitability of growth was so widely accepted that it functioned as fact. Federal aid began to shrink in the 1970s. Then came Reagan's New Federalism, which brought major reductions. Between 1980 and 1987, federal aid dropped 55%. Cuts were made and taxes were raised. Cities are now on their own in an era of fend-for-yourself federalism. City tax bases are shrinking, poverty remains high, and employment opportunies are limited."
The authors quote San Antonio city manager Alexander E. Briseño, "There's not enough money."
The authors explain, "Fiscal stress produces dissatisfaction and this means a disenchantment with elected officials. The public infrastructure is deteriorating at an alarming rate. We may see a long-term decline."
The authors add, "In most respects, the problem facing local governments is not a lack of resources, but the ability to use existing resources efficiently and effectively."
The authors note, "Government must be transformed."
The authors quote David Osborne and Ted Gaebler, "We must reinvent government."
The authors quote Edward Banfield and James Q. Wilson, "The obstacles are mostly political. It is not for lack of information that the problems remain unsolved."
The authors go on, "Bureaucratic infighting and agency imperialism are complicating the task of government. Personnel conflict is anything but unusual in government. Our cities have enormous problems."
The External World of the Urban Manager
The authors quote former New Orleans mayor Sidney J. Barthelemy, "Cities are seen as hopeless places."
The authors quote Cleveland mayor Michael White, "Cities are becoming a codename for crumbling neighborhoods."
The authors quote John Herbers, "The failure of Washington and the states is a major reason some urban areas continue in distress."
The authors contine, "Not everyone can escape the cities. The outward flow has been dominated by the well-to-do. Left behind are the poor."
The authors note, "Many local officials frequently object to what they feel are excessive restrictions accompanying federal grants. Officials view the grant process as complex, overly detailed, slow, cumbersome, and ineffective."
The authors quote former Flint, Michagan city manager Brian Rapp and community development director Frank Patitucci, "Perhaps the most important consequence of overregulation is excessive administrative costs. If the man-hours required for federal reporting and accounting could be devoted to running programs, performance could be improved immeasurably."
The authors explain, "Cities are the victims of neglect."
The authors quote Knoxville, Tennessee Mayor Victor Ashe, "Congress has decided that it can impose anything that it wants. It's going to drive us all into bankruptcy."
The authors note, "Political accountability is reduced because citizens are confused as to which government is responsible for which activities."
The authors add, "The status quo usually carries the day. In recent years, groups have urged decentralization and citizen participation. An important need is for individuals to exercise a greater degree of control over local services and facilities."
The authors warn, "Off-budget enterprises have placed the Detroit government into the hands of businesses."
The authors state, "In 1976, the regional council for the Oklahoma City metropolitan area (ACOG) received 90% of its funds from the federal government. By 1988, this had dropped to 24%."
The authors ask, "How much democracy really exists? The most significant thing we can say is that most Americans do note vote. Little incentive exists for going to the polls. Research shows that those who do not vote have less income than does the average electorate."
The authors continue, "In Dallas, San Antonio, and Dayton the business elements dominate city politics."
Urban Political Structure
The authors write, "Americans want governmental change. The government favors some groups and put others at a disadvantage. Throwing the rascals out, might not be enough. Basic institutions have to be changed. The problem of corruption has been compounded by the political machine. Through political organization, those holding office have found it possible to perpetuate themselves in power."
The authors quote millionaire George Washington Plunkitt, "There's only one way to hold a district. Here's how I gather in the young man. I hear of a young fellar that's proud of his voice, I ask him to join our Glee club, and he's a follower of Plunkitt for life. Another feller I might bring into our baseball club, you'll find him workin' for my ticket. I don't bother them with political argument."
The authors argue, "Politics should be based on public rather than on private motives and should stress honesty."
The authors continue, "The modern reform movement is not a product of the working-class. Upper-income and business groups seek a political climate favorable to their growth and economic development. They are not true social reformers. They are interested in perpetuating the political agenda of the business community."
The authors quote Edward Banfield and James Q. Wilson, "Government must become more democratic."
The authors note, "Putting legislation on the ballot through a referendum is an attempt to make local government more responsive to the people. The same is true of the recall process, whereby a petition can force a new election. The initiative enables electors to force a public vote on an amendment or ordinance. Skeptics feel that voters are not well enough informed to vote intelligently. A recent International City Management Association survey showed strong support for direct democracy."
Urban Policymaking
The authors state, "We are in the midst of a new age of skepticism regarding government. Some contend that an effective policy can be produced only through a small elite group. Others worry about popular participation. Policymaking is vital to a community's well-being."
The authors allege, "Politicians tend to see themselves not as politicians required to respond to group demands, but as politicians elected to pursue their own interest. Not uncommonly, the politically powerful groups and the groups with views similar to the powerful are one and the same. Business interests are likely to fall into this category."
The authors explain, "The discretion of administrative officials is enormous."
The authors argue, "The government is gravitating towards policies with immediate payoffs, avoiding those that produce long-term effects."
The authors quote Robert Salisbury, "A mayor is the head of locally oriented economic interests. City managers, like mayors and council-members, are overwhelmingly white males. The typical manager has been at his job for over 5 years and has served as an executive for over 10 years. In cities over 50,000 population, the city manager is likely to earn over $110110,000."
The authors state, "We are entering an executive era. The legislatures are increasingly writing laws in broad terms which allow a great deal of flexible interpretation by those who implement the laws."

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
simple:OneOne (1) is the natural number following zero and preceding two. It represents a single entity. One is sometimes referred to as unity. The Roman numeral for one is I.
For any number x:
Using ordinary addition, we have 1+1=2; depending on the interpretation of the symbol "+" and the numeral system used, the expression can have many different values, listed at One_plus_one.
- x·1 = 1·x = x (see Multiplication);
- x/1 = x (see Division);
- x1 = x and 1x = 1 (see Exponentiation).
One cannot be used as the base of a positional numeral system in the ordinary way. Sometimes tallying is referred to as "base 1", since only one mark (the tally) is needed, but this doesn't work in the same way as other positional numeral systems. Related to this, one cannot take logarithms with base 1 (same as one cannot divide by zero, since logn x is loge x / loge n, and log 1 = 0).
In the Von Neumann representation of natural numbers, 1 is defined as the set {0}. This set has cardinality 1 and hereditary rank 1. Sets like this with a single element are called singletonss.
In a multiplicative group or monoid, the identity element is sometimes called 1, but e is more traditional. However, 1 is especially common for the multiplicative identity of a ring.
One is not always thought of as a number, although (unlike zero) it has been accepted as such since antiquity. Reflecting this, many languages retain a distinction between singular and plural forms of a noun, the former reserved for the case when only one object is being referred to.
Many human cultures have given the concept of one-ness symbolic meanings:
Something is unique if it is the only one of its kind. More loosely and exaggeratingly (especially in advertising) the term is used for something very special.
- Many religions consider God to be a perfect example of one-ness
- In playing cards, the one is the ace, which in many games is considered the highest card in the suit, rather than the lowest as one would normally expect.
- See monad for a discussion of several other types of one-ness.
One is also:
- The number of musicians in a solo.
- The number of actors in a monologue or soliloquy.
- The number of known Universes.
- The number most often used for representing 'true' as a Boolean datatype in computer science (though any other number than zero would also represent true)
- a song by U2
- An (archaic) expression of the first person singular: "one is not amused".
- An (archaic) expression of the second person singular: "does one take sugar?".
- An enneagram personality type.
Quotes
There is a song lyric which goes: "One is the loneliest number..." [1]

The Symphony No. 1 in D major by Gustav Mahler, often known by its nickname Titan, was written between 1884 and 1888.
The symphony is written for an orchestra consisting of four flutes, two piccolos, four oboes, a cor anglais, three clarinets, bass clarinet, bassoon, double bassoon, seven French horns, four trumpets, three trombones, a tuba, two timpani, a bass drum, cymbals, triangle, tambourine, harp and string instruments.
In its final form, the symphony has four movements:
Originally, there was an additional movement, known as the Blumine, between the first and second movements of the piece as it now stands. It seems probable that this movement was originally written for Mahler's incidental music for Joseph Scheffel's play Der Trompeter von Säckingen (1884), which, the Blumine aside, has since been lost. Mahler discarded this movement in 1894 after the first three performances of the work, and it was not discovered again until 1966 when Donald Mitchell unearthed it. The following year, Benjamin Britten conducted the first performance of it since Mahler's time at Aldburgh. The symphony is almost never played with this movement included today, although it is sometimes heard separately.
- Langsam, Schleppend (Slowly, dragging)
- Kräftig bewegt (Moving strongly) - a Ländler
- Feierlich und gemessen (Solemnly and measured) - a funeral march based on the children's song "Frere Jacques"
- Stürmisch bewegt (Moving stormily)
Under this original five-movement scheme, the work was envisioned by Mahler as a large symphonic poem, and he wrote a programme to describe the piece. It was divided into two parts, the first consisting of the first two movements of the symphony as it is now known plus the Blumine, and the second consisting of the other two movements. The programme was influenced in large part by the novelist Jean Paul, whose novel Titan gave the piece its later nickname.
The work includes a number of themes from Mahler's song cycle Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen (1883-85).
The piece was first published in 1898, and in 1906 an arrangement by Bruno Walter for piano four hands (two players at one piano) was published.
Premieres
- World premiere: November 20, 1889, Budapest, conducted by the composer. The work was poorly received.
- English premiere: October 21, 1903, London as part of a Proms concert, conducted by Henry Wood.
- American premiere: December 16, 1909, New York City, conducted by the composer.

Dept. of Agriculture Established: February 9, 1889 Activated: February 15, 1889 Secretary: Ann M. Veneman Deputy Secretary: Jim Moseley Budget: $72.8 billion (2003) Employees: 114,040 (2003) The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is a Cabinet department of the United States government. Its purpose is to develop and execute policy on farming and food. It aims to meet the needs of farmers and ranchers throughout America, promote agricultural trade and production, work to assure food safety, protects natural resources, foster strong rural communities, and fights hunger in America and abroad.
History
The United States was largely an agrarian economy early in its history. Officials in the federal government had long sought new and improved varieties of seeds, plants, and animals for importation to the United States. In 1836 Henry L. Ellsworth, a man interested in improving agricultural, became Commissioner of Patents, a position within the Department of State. He soon began collecting and distributing new varieties of seeds and plants through members of the Congress and agricultural societies. In 1839 Congress established the Agricultural Division within the Patent Office and allotted $1,000 for "the collection of agricultural statistics and other agricultural purposes."
Ellsworth's interest in aiding agriculture was evident in his annual reports that called for a public depository to preserve and distribute the various new seeds and plants, a clerk to collect agricultural statistics, the preparation of statewide reports about crops in different regions, and the application of chemistry to agriculture. In 1849 the Patent Office was transferred to the newly created Department of the Interior. In the ensuing years, agitation for a separate bureau of agriculture within the Department or a separate department devoted to agriculture kept recurring.
On May 15, 1862 President Abraham Lincoln established the independent Bureau of Agriculture to be headed by a Commissioner without cabinet status. Lincoln called it the "people's department." At the time, 48 percent of the U.S. population were farmers.
In the 1880s, varied special interest groups were lobbying for Cabinet representation. Business interests sought a Department of Commerce and Industry. Farmers tried to raise the Bureau of Agriculture to Cabinet rank. In 1887, the House and Senate passed bills creating a Department of Agriculture and Labor, but farm interests objected to the inclusion of labor, and the bill was killed in conference. Finally, on February 9, 1889, President Grover Cleveland signed a bill into law establishing the Cabinet level Department of Agriculture.
The USDA is administered by the United States Secretary of Agriculture.

Vostok 1 was the first manned space mission. Launched on April 12, 1961, Vostok 1 took Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin into space, the first time anyone had ever journeyed beyond the Earth's atmosphere and the first time anyone went into orbit.
Gagarin orbited the Earth once, in 108 minutes, and returned unharmed, ejecting from the Vostok capsule 7 km above the ground and parachuting separately to the ground (the capsule's parachute landing was too rough for cosmonauts to risk).
The re-entry capsule is now on display at the RKK Energia Museum in Kaluga.
Vostok (Восток) is Russian for East.

 | Using recombinant DNA technology, a transgenic mouse has been engineered whose bone marrow is protected from the toxic effects of chemotherapy by expression of the MDR 1 gene. This animal system allows rapid screening of drugs which inhibit the multidrug transporter and heralds a new era of using transgenic animals for pharmacologic screening. Multidrug resistance resulting from expression of an energy-dependent drug efflux pump encoded by the human MDR gene is a major impediment to effective cancer therapy.
