French settlers were extracting salt near Equality as early as 1735. Native Americans made salt here long before then. In 1803 the American Indians ceded their "Great Salt Springs" to the US government by treaty. The government then leased the springs, requiring the holder to produce a certain quantity of salt each year or pay a penalty. Special territorial laws permitted exceptions to anti-slavery treaties at these salines, and slaves were used extensively in manufacturing salt. The census of 1820 for G ...

The Congress of Racial Equality or CORE is a U.S. civil rights organization that played a pivotal role in the Civil Rights Movement of the 20th century. CORE was founded in 1942, in Chicago, by Bernice Fisher & James R. Robinson, & a group of young activists: James L. Farmer, Jr., Joe Guinn, George Houser, & Homer Jack. Bayard Rustin, while not a father of the organization, was "an uncle to CORE," Farmer and Houser later said. CORE evolved out of the pacifist Fellowship of Reconciliation. All the founders, sa ...

The phrase "All men are created equal" is arguably the best-known phrase in any of America's political documents, since the idea it expresses is generally considered the foundation of American democracy. The phrase in context in the opening of the Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson in 1776, reads as follows: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among t ...

The wizard Drum Billet knows that he will soon die and travels to a place where an eighth son of an eighth son is about to be born. Since such a boy is destined to become a wizard (on the Discworld, the number eight has many of the magical properties that are ascribed to seven in the real world), Billet wants to pass his staff on to him as his successor. However, the child born is actually a girl, Eskarina. Since Billet notices his mistake ...

Vincenzo Galilei (father of Galileo Galilei) may have been the first person to advocate equal temperament (in a 1581 treatise). The first person known to introduce a mathematically accurate specification for equal temperament is probably Chu Tsai-Yu (朱載堉) in the Ming Dynasty, who published a theory of the temperament in 1584. Soon after, European mathematicians Simon Stevin (1585, inspired by V. Galilei) and Marin Mersenne ( ...

The = symbol that is now universally accepted in mathematics for equality was first used by Welsh mathematician Robert Recorde in The Whetstone of Witte (1557). The original form of the symbol was much wider (longer) than the present form. In his book[1], Recorde explains his design: to avoid the tediouse repetition of these woordes: is equalle to : I will sette as I doe often in woorke use, a pair of paralleles, or Gemowe [i.e. "twin"] lines of one lengthe, thus: =, bicause noe .2. thynges, can be moare equalle. ...

The basics of equalization payments have been around since Canadian Confederation when the federal government had most of the taxation powers. The federal government would make transfer payments to the provinces to cover their needs. There was no obligation that these transfer payments had to reflect the amount collected in each province and thus wealth was always redistributed. A formal system of equalization payments was first introduced in 1957. The idea was based on the proposals of American economist James M. Buchanan and they we ...

The distance between each step and the next is aurally the same for any two adjacent steps; though, because steps form a geometric sequence, the difference in frequency increases from one to the next. A linear sequence of one frequency difference would create ever smaller intervals (ratios), such as the harmonic series. See also logarithmic scale. Equal temperaments allow the use of integer notation; a single integer can be used to represent the pitch. The pitch classes can then be expressed in terms of modular arithmetic modulo the number of divisions of the octave, and this expedites mathematic ...

There are a number of kinds of EQ. Each has a different pattern of attenuation or boost. A peaking equaliser raises or lowers a range of frequencies around a central point in a bell shape. A peaking equalizer with controls to adjust the level (Gain), bandwidth (Q) and center frequency is called a parametric equalizer. If there is no control for the bandwidth (it is fixed by the designer) then it is called a quasi-parametric ...

Early telephone systems used equalization to correct for the reduced level of high frequencies in long cables. For example, a particular microphone might be more sensitive to low frequency sounds than to high frequency sounds, so an equalizer would be used to increase the volume of the higher frequencies (boost), and reduce the volume of the low frequency sounds (cut). One of the most direct uses of equalization is at a live event, where there are microphones and speakers operating simultaneously. An equalizer is used to ...

Like the other Quaker testimonies, the Testimony of Equality is not a fixed and formalized creed. Rather it is the expression of the practices and principles of Friends that gradually emerged. It is open to modification by Friends as they meet together and receive guidance from the Spirit of Christ. Quakers, or Friends as they call themselves, believe that since all people embody the same divine spark all people deserve equal and fair treatment. ...

Shelving filters, unlike those described above, boost or cut from a determined frequency until they reach a preset level which is applied to the rest of the frequency spectrum. This kind of filter is usually found on the treble and bass controls of home audio units. These filters are also used in audio mastering. High pass and low pass filters boost or cut frequencies above or below a selected frequency, called the cutoff frequency. A high pass filter allows only frequencies above the cutoff frequency to pass through unaffected. Frequ ...

The substitution property states: For any quantities a and b and any expression F(x), if a = b, then F(a) = F(b) (if either side makes sense). In first order logic, this is a schema, since we can't quantify over expressions like F (which would be a functional predicate). Some specific examples of this are: For any real numbers a, b, and c, if a = b, then a + c = b ...
