Athletics combined to hit 91 Home Runs in the 1987 season. This ushered a change in baseball in regards to power hitters. Leading up to the 1994 season, there had only been three players that hit 50 or more home runs in a single season, since 1961 when Roger Maris hit a then record 61 long balls. Throughout the 1990s, 50 Home Runs in a season by a single player became common (The Steroids Era, 2012). The drastic increase in the number of Home Runs hit began to raise some questions, and the summer of

Despite sharing common English heritage as well as branching from the Anglican and Catholic church, religious views on liturgy and deontological ethics differed greatly amongst the settlers. This can be seen in the works of John Winthrop and Roger Williams.

The assets identified were doctor’s offices, small clinics and clinics that are a part of a larger chain. Each of these assets show the diversity in the medical care offered in the Edgewater and Rogers Park community.

Between 1885 and 1908, Belgium’s Leopold II ruled Congo, a region in central Africa, as his personal colony, exploiting the resources and inhabitants for his own gain. Leopold allowed and encouraged Europeans and other Westerners to enter Congo and set up companies whose primary purpose was to gather rubber, which was abundant but difficult to get to in the Congo, using the Congolese as the laborers for the Europeans. Rubber gathering in Congo brutally exploited the inhabitants of the Congo, while

that the civil government of the colony had no right to punish religious dissenters. He felt that people’s personal views of the religion should not be punished because everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Soon after he stated his thoughts, Roger Williams was banished from the colony. He went off and founded Providence, which was the first village in what is

King Leopold and the Belgian Congo It is widely debated why exactly King Leopold decided to conquer the Congo, but the general consensus seems to be that it was out of the belief that “the highlands of the Congo may be as rich in gold as the mountains of the western slope of the American Continent” (Stead).

In the story, the robot, Herbie, becomes mute and insane when confronted with a conflict that would violate one of Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics- namely the first law, where a robot cannot harm a human being. Herbie is a telepathic android that represents the superior intellect that many believe robots will have in the future. The standard way of thinking about artificial intelligence has it that its vast improvement

Between the years 1884-1912, European powers were in competition to acquire African colonies. This was the emergence of the new age of imperialism and what historians refer to as the scramble for Africa. By the end of the 19th century, all of Africa with the exception of Liberia and Ethiopia was divided amongst European powers. During that time, the Belgium government had no interest in imperializing Africa except for their King, Leopold II. Due to lack of support from the Belgium government, King
