"The Equal Pay Act of 1963 was passed to prohibit wage discrimination on the basis of sex and sought to ensure that women earn equal pay for equal work. Its purpose was clear: Eliminate the gender wage gap‚ which hurts women and families. But 50 years later‚ pay discrimination is alive and well. Gag rules that require employees to keep their pay secret perpetuate this inequity."

within 24 hours by diarrhea. As the disease progresses‚ the diarrhea becomes watery and then may become bloody. E-Coli symptoms sometimes include vomiting and fever. The incubation period for E-Coli infection (i.e.‚ the period from ingestion of the bacteria to the start of symptoms) is typically 3 to 9 days‚ although shorter and longer periods are not that unusual. An incubation period of less than 24 hours would be unusual. In most infected individuals‚ the E-Coli symptoms last about a week and resolve

LAB#: 20 SKILL: Planning and Designing OBSERVATIONS: A student is given a small beaker containing an unknown salt‚ x. The salt is crystalline‚ deliquescent and colorless. The student is asked to perform test and observation on the salt to determine the cation and anion present. HYPOTHESIS: Perhaps by using the flame test or reacting salt x with NaOH‚ or NH4OH the cation could be distinguished by observing the color changes or solubility while reacting salt x with H2SO4 or a mixture of copper

Abstract Three tests were performed to determine the identity of unknown number 34‚ a gram stain‚ citrate utilization test‚ and a urease detection test. These tests are explained in detail‚ and the method of performing the tests is described. The tests showed that the bacterium was gram-negative bacilli that did not utilize citrate‚ and the ability to hydrolyze urea using urease. These results indicate that the identity of unknown number 34 is Proteus mirabilis. Introduction Proteus mirabilis is

that a few of the slides he’d been working on had been contaminated by fungus. Upon noting that the staphylococcus colonize bordering the fungus had died he began asking more questions. Namely what was it about the fungus that caused it to kill the bacteria? Through more research he was able to single out a substance that the fungus was producing as the result of its biological processes. He called this substance “mould juice” for

How the unknown heroes of the Civil Rights Movement helped organize the March on Washington December 1962: « Things aren’t moving fast enough‚ Martin. »‚ [Bayard] Rustin sighed‚ stubbing out his cigarette in the ashtray. Martin [Luther King Jr] could almost hear the disappointment in his voice. Rustin would never say it explicitly – he was too respectful and tactful - but Martin could sense it. They have known each other for six years now. Rustin helped organize the Montgomery Bus Boycott that

The aim of this experiment was to calculate the concentration of an unknown solution of Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) by titrating it with Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) and to identify any possible sources of error. A colour change from pink to yellow signified the end of each individual titre as the NaOH had been neutralised. Experimental: Method: Firstly two solutions were prepared to show the colour of the Phenol Red indicator in acid and alkaline conditions. These colours were then used to determine the
