Tolerance, temperance, and a number of other social causes of her day. I am going to talk about her, but i am doing a couple other things for you. The premise of this course is the idea that you must understand women reformers in the context of their day. So i am going to trace her personal context, which is important, she was a quaker and i will talk about what that means, but also her social context, social, political and religious contexts, the things that were going on around her. And it is my argument, the city, the domestic second great awakening which i have mentioned, was a part of what helped to radicalize her, contributed to her effectiveness.

Possibly, the recent poll suggests that 2 thirds of german germans at least support these measures. In other words, we can expect that the measures will meet with approval. Whether that will actually lead to reduction in the infections is not clear yet at the moment. You know, we talk about flattening the curve. Whats happened at the moment as the curve has been flattened in germany, but at a very high level, the experts talk about a plateau in the curve and thats obviously too high. The hospitals are still under pressure. So it seems that such increased restrictions are necessary while taking into account where you have just referenced. It makes it difficult to understand why exceptions are being made for christmas. How does the governmen
Right now id like to bring you a different kind of story in its own way its just a dramatic as anything a writer could dream up that has to do with a new power source. This Power Authority will be out of more than 70 years ago. The deadly power of the atomic bomb was reprinted as the peaceful you clean energy was modern. We were at the forefront of technology, glamorous. They were like inside a secret inside this magical world and irresistible to governments.

But from the beginning, the peaceful atom was dont buy safety concerns. Froome basically made clear that accidents can happen. Its very serious incidents by rising costs. Its economically so complex, so difficult, so tricky. Its kind of pulled under by its own dead weight. And by protests that through time leftists with their school car about for no in
