No entanto, o poder desse governo central não deve ser hegemônico. Para evitar sistemas onde uma minoria no poder explora a maioria, deve haver uma pluralidade de lugares de poder na sociedade. Este equilíbrio de poder depende da existência de vários partidos políticos, uma sociedade civil organizada e meios de comunicação fortes e independentes. Como regra geral, quando o poder político acaba em poucas mãos, o aparato estatal não serve mais à maioria, m...

From Bulfinch's Mythology: Meleager and Atalanta - anthology.
Althea, when the deed was done, laid violent hands upon herself. The sisters of Meleager mourned their brother with uncontrollable grief; till Diana, pitying thesorrows of the house that once had aroused her anger, turned them into birds. Atalanta The innocent cause of so much sorrow was a maiden whose face you might truly say was boyish for a girl, yet too girlish for a boy. Her fortune had been told, and itwas to this effect: 'Atalanta, do not marry; marriage will be your ruin.' Terrified...

Metabolism (chemistry) - biology.
nearly perfect balance. Although much remains to be revealed about metabolic processes, biochemists now agree that regulatory, or rate-limiting, enzymes figure largely in the reactionsinvolved ( see Enzyme). Affecting metabolic pathways at the earliest steps, each enzyme molecule has a specific, or active, site that matches, or “fits,” its particular substrate—the compound with which the enzyme forms a product. The precision with which rate-limiting enzymes and substrates join to set off a parti...

Bowling.
In each of the first nine frames the bowler rolls one or two balls. If the bowler knocks down all ten pins with the first ball, he or she has rolled a strike, the best roll possible.

The maximum possible score in a strike frame, therefore, is 30: the strike followed by two more strikes on subseq...

From Uncle Tom's Cabin - anthology.
the evils of slavery from sketches like these, is not the half that could be told, of the unspeakable whole. In the northern states, these representations may, perhaps, be thought caricatures; in the southern states are witnesses who know their fidelity. What personalknowledge the author has had, of the truth of incidents such as here are related, will appear in its time. It is a comfort to hope, as so many of the world's sorrows and wrongs have, from age to age, been lived down, so a ti...
