Q:Critics charged that President Franklin D. Roosevelt's plan to increase the number of Supreme Court Justices was in conflict withthe Supreme Court's practice of judicial restraint the constitutional principle of checks and balances attempts of Congress to limit judicial responsibilities efforts to restrict the number of terms a President could serveA major complaint of western farmers in the late 19th century concerned the increase in the number of immigrant settlers restrictive land policies of the United States heavy military expenditures of the Federal Government power of banks and railroads over the farm economy

1) The consitutional principle of checks and balances (FDR wanted to stack the court with justices that he knew would support his New Deal plan.) 2) Power of banks and railroads over the farm econmy (Banks were charging enormous rates on their loans and railroads were able to control supply/demand)

Q:Hey, I'm doing a physics exam tomorrow on the National Grid and one of the possible questions is why did Charles Merz put the first major power station (the Neptune Bank power) near Newcastle Upon Tyne?

It doesn't state specifically in the Wikipedia article, but it's highly likely that its placement on the River Tyne near the North Eastern Railway's (NER) North Tyneside Loop gave it both a ready source of water for creating steam, and the ability to transport coal directly to the station via railway.

Q:Can a small scale wind generator power enough batteries to power a 5 ton air conditioner? And if it can, how large of a battery bank would I need, and would a 220 power converter be good enough.

While I'm not sure how much power your air conditioner will need (different units have differing efficiencies) but for a first approximation we might guess around 5KW. 5KW is on the larger side for residential wind turbines, but should be possible. Next problem is how much does the wind blow, if it is constant, or at least constant when you need air conditioning, then you don't need much of a battery bank. But you'd be lucky if that was the case, if you do need to store power for when the wind is low, then the turbine need to be sized to run the AC and charge the batteries, so an even bigger turbine will be needed. As you can see how much wind you have is a critical factor. A for size of battery bank, just to make the math easy I'll assume you need to store enough power to run the AC for 10 hours (this is just a wild guess, it might be far different) 5KW x 10 hours is 50,000 watt/hours, on Wikipedia I found a claim that typical energy density for lead acid batteries for this application is between 30 and 40WH ber kilogram, using the average, you'd need around 1400Kg (~3000lb) of batteries. There are really too many variables too give a good answer here, if you would have no problem spending $20,000 (and wouldn't totaly freakout over $50K+) then contact a local consultant for more information. If you can't afford that, it is probably not really worth giong any further since $20K is at the very bottom of the price range for that size of instalation.

Q:I used to have my own apartment and paid the power bill I had a 400 dollar balance from it since forever. I have lived with a roomate who's name the bill has been in since. I want to move out and was wondering if I will have trouble getting the power for the new apartment turned on with a pass due balance or will they just tack it on when i start new service?

The power company likely has sold the old debt to a collection agency and it remains on your credit report. But you the memory of your past debt will be remembered and will require you to pay a deposit with the power company to receive service. This is not such a bad deal because they power company will pay you interest on your deposit at a higher rate than your could find with a certificate of deposit at a bank now a days. So be prepared to send in and extra $300 when you request service.

Q:a. Jackson portrayed the Bank as the enemy of the people and a tool of the elite.b. it was responsible for the chaotic fiscal system of state banks issuing their own currency.c. Biddle had abused the powers of the Bank to demand state banks repay loans with coin.d. it limited the economy by making no loans beyond its reserves in gold and silver.

I agree its A. He felt the bank was using its money to influence elections.

Q:I'm 18 years old now, and I need to learn about the fundamentals of banking. Is there a site that can easily explain all aspects of banking there I need to know?My family seems to enjoy having power over my money and bank savings, and I want to know how I can shift these things.

I suggest going into the branch and speaking with an account representative. I've banked with Wells Fargo for over 10 years now and have had very good experiences with them. They can sit down with you and explore all of your options.

Q:95 v6 3.8 5 speed lost a lot of power and acceleration pulled codes and I have a bad 02 sensor misfire on bank one and Maybe a vacuum leak if I remember correctly but I just replaced the plugs and wires and it's still running bad also it rattles when I crank it up and sometimes at idle. I want my car back! Could it be the o2 sensor or fuel pump maybe?

02 sensor will not cause a misfire, 02 sensor can cause car to burn rich or lean thats it, but most likely you have a bad plug or plug wire. It happens from time to time so pull the plug wires off one at a time. Here is the bet thing to do, while the engine is cold pull the plug wires so that you can move them on or off of the plug then start the engine and use a spark plug wire holder to move the boot off of the spark plug on each plug on the #1 bank when you find the plug that does not change how the motor runs you have found the cylinder thats mis fireing now once you find the right cylinder replace the plug then the wire, if you have two cylinders misfiring then you have crossed two wires going to the plugs and will need to find out which two you crossed. The 02 sensor would show as not working cause you have to cylinders not firring and the 02 sensor can't adjust the computer to lean out the fuel enough so it throws a code for the 02 sensor. Hope this helps and good luck.

Q:A friend and me have an inside joke, and we r both superheroesi'm batwoman and shes spiderwoman. We know spiderman powers but neither of us can remember batmans.except for that totally awesome car. D

Batman doesn't have any powers. He's a human being who is driven by determination to wipe out crime and has trained his body and mind to be at the peak of human perfection. Batman really has nopowers to speak of, just a huge bank account to fund his gadgets, a vast intellect to help him sort his way out of any situation, as well as solve crimes, and an amazing physical regimen which helps him stay in shape and fight at the top of his game. Doesn't hurt that he looks good in black either.

Q:I see people on here ranting about big government on the basis that the government doesn't look out for our interests.These same people have no problem with large banks becoming even more rich and powerful along with those who own the banks, when these wealthy few have proven time and time again they don't care about he public.These wealthy elites (corporate executives) own 99% of the wealth in this country. Why do you believe they are trustworthy and why should they own it all?Isn't that bad for small businesses that support local economies?read before answering

I don't trust either. But I trust the government less than I trust a bank. At least I can refuse to deal with a bank where the government has guns and prisons they can inflict on me. Only a complete idiot would trust our government with their record of screwing the people. My bank is small, one branch. It does a fine job of supporting my small business needs. The government regularly makes it harder to be in business.
