(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Electricity distribution is the penultimate process in the delivery of electric power, i.e. the part between generation and user consumption. Other processes in power delivery are transmission and retailing.
In the early days of electricity generation, direct current (DC) generators were connected to loads at the same voltage. This imposed limitations on how far the distribution system could extend because of the voltage drop. It also meant that cables and lines had to be made from relatively large diameter copper in order to carry the high currentss required to meet the demand of distributed load. (Power lost in generating heat in a conductor is proportional to the square of the current ie Losses = I2R. These losses can be reduced by reducing the resistance (R) of the conductor, hence increasing the diameter; or, more effectively, by reducing the current (I).)
The adoption of alternating current (AC) for electricity generation dramatically changed the situation. Power transformers could be used to raise the voltage from the generators and reduce it to supply loads. Increasing the voltage reduced the current and hence the size of conductors and distribution losses, making it more economic to distribute power over long distances. The ability to transform to extra-high voltages enabled generators to be located far from loads and transmission systems to interconnect generating stations and distribution networkss.
In North America, early distribution systems were single phase and used a voltage of 2200 volts corner-grounded delta. Over time, this was gradually increased to 2400 volts. As cities grew and the use of three-phase power became more widespread, most 2400 volt systems were upgraded to 2400/4160Y three-phase systems, which also benefitted from better surge suppression due to the grounded neutral. Some city and suburban distribution systems continue to use this range of voltages, but most have been converted to 7200/12470Y.
European systems used higher voltages, generally 3300 volts to ground, in support of the 220Y/380 volt power systems used in those countries. In the UK, urban sysytems progressed to 6.6 kV and then 11 kV, the most common distribution voltage.
Rural Electrification systems, in contrast to urban systems, tend to use higher voltages because of the longer distances covered by those distribution lines. 7200 volts is commonly used in the United States. Other voltages are occasionally used in unusual situations or where a local utility simply has engineering practices that differ from the norm.
In New Zealand, Australia and South Africa, single wire earth return systems (SWER) are used to electrify remote rural areas.
Electricity industry reform has led to the creation of electricity markets through the separation of contestable retailing from distribution, a natural monopoly and the separation of the monopoly transmission from generation. It also led to the development of new terminology to describe the distributor such as Line company, Wires Business and Network Company.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The term gay disease or gay plague refers to the concept of a disease afflicting or caused by homosexuals, or to homosexuality itself, and is most often linked to the venereal disease AIDS. Historically, the term has been used by doctors, particularly in the 1970s, but there is no evidence that a gay-specific disease is even possible. The term is currently used predominantly by religious objectors to homosexuality, and may be considered homophobic hate speech.
AIDS as gay disease
The initial cases of AIDS in Western society were predominantly among gay men. The eruption of previously rare cancers and auto-immune disorders led doctors and reporters to informally call the previously unidentified syndrome the "gay disease" or gay cancer. The Centers for Disease Control classified the disease as GRID (gay-related immune deficiency), until 1982.
As AIDS is introduced into different parts of the world, the initial primary vectors are generally gay men, intravenous drug users, and the sexually promiscuous (such as prostitutes). In societies where such behavior generally deemed immoral (see homosexuality and morality, homosexuality and religion), this has strongly affected the medical response to treatment of the disease, generally in the form of a slow and begrudging effort to treat patients and take steps to halt the spread of AIDS.
A telling example of the slow response of governments to AIDS is that President Ronald Reagan avoided saying the word AIDS in public until 1987, likely because of societal anti-gay prejudice and his own squeamishness.
At the outset of the 21st century, the nations of Russia and China have been criticized by the international medical community for their slow response to AIDS, and their lack of action to change the general misconception of the population that the disease is restricted to gays, drug users, and prostitutes.
The concept of gay disease in general
Various attempts have been made to define gay-only or gay-specific diseases, particularly during the 1970s. Gay bowel syndrome was a term first used in 1976, prior to the discovery of AIDS, to describe a series of parasitic disorders caused by oral/anal contact and allegedly related to gay male sexual activity. The term was abandonend by the medical community in the 1980s, dismissed as the result of ill-informed bigotry. The medical problems attributed to gay bowel syndrome were neither specific to homosexuals nor confined to the bowel, and fail to meet the medical definition of a syndrome. Despite this, the term continues to see widespread use from certain elements in the anti-gay lobby.
Similarly, a 2003 cluster of cases of MRSA-related skin infection found in gay men, schools, and prisons was initially labeled in press reports as a gay disease. In fact, there is no correlation between sexual orientation and MRSA infection or colonization.
The term gay disease in reference to AIDS is mostly used by religious objectors to homosexuality, who feel that homosexuals are deserving of punishment or divine retribution. The term is also used by other homosexual objectors, particularly individuals and groups within the wider medical community who see it as evidence that the "gay lifestyle" is inherently unhealthy or dangerous. It can also be a form of homophobic hate speech.

The term grid has several meanings in various fields:
- in mathematics and geometry, a grid is a system of two sets of lines intersect each other at a fixed angle, usually a right angle (i.e. a set of vertical lines and a set of horizontal lines): see grid plan;
- in electrical engineering,
- a transmission grid is a high-voltage network for long-distance electric power transmission;
- a distribution grid is a low-voltage network for local distribution of electric power to end-users;
- in computer architecture, the word grid sometimes refers to a network with a topology similar to a grid: see grid computing;
- in Norse mythology, Grid was a giantess who knew that Loki was trying to trick Thor into being killed by Geirrod. She gave Thor her iron gloves and magical belt and staff to fight the frost giant.

The grid plan is a type of city plan in which streets run at right angles to each other, forming a grid. These are extremely common in towns of the 18th century or later, which have often been created as part of a city plan, such as the New Town in Edinburgh, or the many towns and cities in Australia, the United States or Canada. Older "new" towns such as those in New England are much less likely to use a grid plan. Often, some of the streets in a grid are numbered (First, Second, etc.), lettered, or arranged in alphabetical order. (Washington, DC has examples of all three, although the alphabetical streets arguably are too far out to be part of the street grid there.)Source: adapted by the editor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) from the article "Grid plan."
