The text says the following: “In order to attract him the householder practises an able device.” What is this “able device”?

“We are people of this generation, bred in at least modest comfort, housed now in universities, looking uncomfortably to the world we inherit. When we were kids the United States was the wealthiest and strongest country in the world; the only one with the atom bomb, the least scarred by modern war, an initiator of the United Nations… As we grew, however, our comfort was penetrated by events too troubling to dismiss… The conventional moral terms of the age, the politician moralities–“free world,” “people’s democracies”–reflect realities poorly, if at all, and seem to function more as ruling myths than as descriptive principles… The bridge to political power, though, will be build through genuine cooperation, locally, nationally, and internationally, between a new left of young people and an awakening community of allies”  — Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), Port Huron Statement, 1962 Which of the following post-1945 developments contributed most strongly to the discomfort that members of SDS felt?

“It is clear that the main element of any United States policy towards the Soviet Union must be that of a long-term, patient but firm and vigilant containment of Russian expansive tendencies…. It is clear that the United States cannot expect in the foreseeable future to enjoy political intimacy with the Soviet regime. It must continue to regard the Soviet Union as a rival, not a partner, in the political arena. It must continue to expect that Soviet policies will reflect no abstract love of peace and stability, no real faith in the possibility of a permanent happy coexistence of the Socialist and capitalist worlds, but rather a cautious, persistent pressure towards the disruption and weakening of all rival influence and rival power.”  —   Mr. X (George F. Kennan), State Department professional, “The Source of Soviet Conduct.” Foreign Affairs, July 1947. Which of the following best reflects the policies advocated in the above excerpt? 

“We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. Frankly, I have yet to engage in a direct-action campaign that was ‘well timed’ in the view of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation. . . . We must come to see, with one of our distinguished jurists, that ‘justice too long delayed is justice denied.’ We have waited for more than 340 years for our constitutional and God-given rights. The nations of Asia and Africa are moving with jetlike speed toward gaining political independence, but we still creep at horse-and-buggy pace toward gaining a cup of coffee at a lunch counter.” — Martin L. King Jr. African American leader, “Letter from Birmingham Jail”, 1963  “The White man knows that the Black revolution is worldwide. . . . So I cite these various revolutions, brothers and sisters, to show you that you don’t have a peaceful revolution. You don’t have aturn-the-other-cheek revolution. There’s no such thing as a nonviolent revolution. The only kind of revolution that’s nonviolent is the Negro revolution. The only revolution in which the goal is loving your enemy is the Negro revolution. It’s the only revolution in which the goal is a desegregated lunch counter, a desegregated theater, a desegregated park, and a desegregated public toilet…. That’s no revolution. Revolution is based on land…. Land is the basis of freedom, justice, and equality. . . . A revolutionary wants land so he can set up his own nation, an independent nation.” — Malcolm X, African American leader, “Message to the Grass Roots,” 1963 At the time the excerpts were written, Martin Luther King, Jr., disagreed with Malcolm X in that King believed that  

 “Economic growth was indeed the most decisive force in the shaping of attitudes and expectations in the postwar era. The prosperity of the period broadened gradually in the late 1940s, accelerated in the 1950s, and soared to unimaginable heights in the 1960s. By then it was a boom that astonished observers. One economist, writing about the twenty-five years following World War II, put it simply by saying that this was a ‘quarter century of sustained growth at the highest rates in recorded history.’ Former Prime Minister Edward Heath of Great Britain agreed, observing that the United States at the time was enjoying ‘the greatest prosperity the world has ever known.’”   — James T. Patterson, historian, Grand Expectations: The United States, 1945–1974, published in 1996. One significant result of the economic trend described in the excerpt was the

“The reason why we find ourselves in a position of impotency is not because our only powerful potential enemy has sent men to invade our shores . . . but rather because of the traitorous actions of those who have been treated so well by this Nation. It has not been the less fortunate, or members of minority groups who have been traitorous to this Nation, but rather those who have had the benefits that the wealthiest Nation on earth has had to offer . . . the finest homes, the finest college education, and the finest jobs in government we can give. This is glaringly true in the State Department. There the bright young men who are born with silver spoons in their mouths are the ones who have been most traitorous.” Senator Joseph McCarthy, speech in Wheeling, West Virginia, 1950 The claims McCarthy made in the speech heightened debates over which of the following issues?

Art enables us to express our individual, community, religious, and/or political ideologies or values. 

Approval of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID mRNA vaccines by the FDA required they be tested in formal clinical trials. Using the randomized controlled trials of the COVID mRNA vaccines as a case study example… Indicate the various phases of a clinical trial, and for each phase- describe the broader goal or objective of the phase, the approximate number of subjects expected to be enrolled, whether there is a placebo control, what a logical primary outcome would be, what a secondary outcome(s) might be, and how what gets measured in the subjects as outcomes would be expected to change/evolve through the phases. Assume the goal is to achieve FDA-approval for use in humans, and there was no prior experience with mRNA-based vaccines in this context.

Where should the return electrode be placed on a patient?
