angular momentum.noun
angular momentum
is rotational momentum; the vector
product of the position vector from a reference point and the linear
momentum of a particle; the product
of the momentum of a rotating body and its distance from the axis
of rotation; any rotating body has an angular momentum about its center
of mass
(angular momentum makes the Earth appear to go round, but nothing
really moves); the vector sum of the angular momentums of each component
particle of an extended body; angular momentum equals spiral spin;
"Angular
momentum of a rotating object depends on its speed of rotation, its mass
and the distance of the mass from the axis. When a skater standing on a
friction-free point spins faster and faster, angular momentum is conserved
despite the increasing speed. At the start of the spin, the skater's arms
are outstretched. Part of the mass is therefore at a large radius.
As the skater's arms are lowered, thus decreasing their distance from the
axis of rotation, the rotational speed must increase in order to maintain
constant angular momentum."....Microsoft®

Usage note: It is
frequently asserted that sentences beginning with 'and' or 'but' express
incomplete thoughts and are therefore incorrect, but this rule was ridiculed
by grammarians like Wilson Follett who ascribed it to schoolmarmish.rhetoric)
and H.W. Fowler who called it a superstition
and the stricture has been ignored by writers from Shakespeare to Virginia
Woolf. Members of the Usage Panel were asked whether they paid attention
to the rule in their own writing. 24 percent answered 'always or usually'
36 percent answered 'sometimes' and 40 percent answered 'rarely or never'.

Act of Union of 1840
the Act of Union passed in 1840 by the British
Parliament united what was Canada at the time,
which was the North American provinces of Upper and Lower Canada (map).
Upper and Lower Canada were Canada West, which was Ontario and Canada East,
which was Quebec). English was originally to be the only official language,
but by grace of the English, French was allowed so that the French culture
would not die. French Canadians protested because Ontario was given as
many legislative seats as Quebec had, which, at the time, had a larger
population.
Parliament had created the two provinces in 1791
to separate British colonists, many of them Loyalist refugees from
the
American colonies now resident in Upper Canada, to separate them from
a Roman Catholic, French speaking group in Lower Canada, so that the French
could continue their culture without obligation to now change their language
and customs.
The 1840 act provided for a single government headed
by a royally appointed governor and a legislative assembly equally
apportioned between the former divisions. The union created
the
Province of Canada, the sections being known as Canada East and Canada
West. comprised with Microsoft®

or any other, aggrandizement from the war. They proclaimed the right of
all peoples to choose their own.form.(notice

and not to have boundary changes imposed on them. The right of all nations
to have access to the Earth's natural resources was also recognized, as
was the desirability of economic cooperation among nations and improved
living conditions for working people..comprised

Articles of Confederation
was the first Constitution
of the United States of America, which morphed into their 1776 Constitution.
The Articles were written in 1777 during the early part of the
American Revolution by a committee of the Second Continental Congress
of the former 13 British colonies.
The head of the committee, John Dickinson, presented a report on the proposed
articles to the Congress on July 12, 1776, eight days after the signing
of the Declaration
of Independence.
It's always these committee
heads one must be wary of. Dickinson,
a traitor to We
the People's purpose, initially proposed
a strong central government with control over the western lands, equal
representation for the states and the power to levy taxes. He was basing
his ideas on the very things that had led to the common people of England
being subjugated.
Because of experience with
England, the 13 states wanted to avoid a powerful central government, consequently,
they changed Dickinson's proposed articles drastically before they sent
them to all the states for.ratification
in November 1777. The meetings of those formulating founding documents
had been careful to.give
the states.as
much independence as possible.and
to.specify
the limited functions of the federal government.in accordance with
the nation they were setting up and putting We
the People in control of all. Despite these
precautions, several years passed before individual states ratified
the articles.
The articles
created a loose confederation of independent states that gave limited powers
to a central government. The national government would consist of a single
house of
Congress, where each state
would have one vote. Congress (the central
government) had the power to set up a postal
department, to estimate the costs of the government and request donations
from the states, to raise armed forces and to control the development of
the western territories. With the consent of nine of the thirteen states,
Congress could also coin, borrow or appropriate money as well as declare
war and enter into treaties and alliances with foreign nations. The Congress
was evil then and so today.
Why borrow or appropriate
money at interest, when any nation can create their own currency for its
needs? The why is because of the cabal having wormed its way into control
in opposition to what was best for We
the People. The cabal has been satanic
from the start and still is.
Under the original
constitution the federal government was unable to levy taxes. The individual
states could as approved by We the
People. Comprised
