Grievance Procedures and the Democratization of American Life

[Excerpt] No institution in the nation\u27s history has struggled so long and so valiantly for the democratization of American life as the organized labor movement. Decade after decade, trade unionists have fought for human rights and dignity against almost insuperable forces of wealth, privilege, and partisan government, including the country\u27s courts, soldiery, and police. They have battled against poverty of means, mind, and spirit in the teeth of bayonets, massacre, assault, injunctions, imprisonment, dismissal from jobs, blacklisting, and legislative and judicial defeat of vital measures

Wittgenstein on Personal Time

The most grandiose of the many philosophical problems of time is whether it is real or not. An example of a metaphysical argument to the effect that time is unreal is that of the idealist F.H. Bradley. In setting forth his case he made a distinction between 1) time as space-like and 2) time "as presented,â€? the "now.â€

Absolute gain measurement by the image method under mismatched condition

Purcell's image method for measuring the absolute gain of an antenna is particularly attractive for small test antennas. The method is simple to use and utilizes only one antenna with a reflecting plane to provide an image for the receiving antenna. However, the method provides accurate results only if the antenna is matched to its waveguide. In this paper, a waveguide junction analysis is developed to determine the gain of an antenna under mismatched condition. Absolute gain measurements for two standard gain horn antennas have been carried out. Experimental results agree closely with published data
