This made the United States the only Western nation to criminalize contraception at that time (Time). While women (and men) continued to illegally access birth control, often using devices labeled differently for contraceptive purposes, it would be decades before birth control could be openly used within the United States. In 1916, Margaret Sanger opens the first birth control clinic in the United States, but it is shut down in 10 days (Time). It was not until 1938 that the federal ban against birth control was lifted by a federal judge (Time).
While women did not enjoy an abrupt increase in civil rights following the Civil War, it is important to realize that there was a gradual increase in attention towards civil rights and support for women's rights after the Civil War. In 1868, the National Labor Union supported equal pay for equal work, which was the first real call for women to be paid the same rate as men for the same work (the Prism). In 1870, in the Wyoming Territory, women served on juries, which was a first in the history of jurisprudence (the Prism). In 1870, Iowa admitted the first woman to a state's bar association (the Prism). However, for every victory, there was a similar defeat. While some states were opening up professions to women, others were restricting women from professions, a practice the Supreme Court affirmed in 1873 (the Prism).
However, women were seeing some positive changes in their personal lives. Divorce laws in the United States had historically favored males. However, by 1900 two-thirds of divorce cases in the United States were initiated by wives (the Prism). This marked a significant difference, as women had historically lacked the right to even bring such suits. Women might still be unable to retain custody of their children at a divorce and often faced a tremendous financial burden when divorcing, a condition that persists in modern America, but they were actually able to attain divorces.
However, while women might be able to attain divorces, it would be erroneous to assume that domestic scenarios were improving for women in the period just after the Civil War. Domestic violence continued to be a rampant problem, with women having little recourse in their marriages. However, domestic violence did become a public issue in the time period following the Civil War, though child abuse and negligence were the main focus of domestic issues until the 1970s. For much of this time period, it was "legal" to beat one's spouse; not only were prosecutors and police reluctant to enforce assault laws against spouses, but many states also specifically made it an exception to a crime that the victim was one's spouse. The most widely recognized of these exceptions was the marital rape exemption, which meant that it was a total defense to a charge of rape, regardless of the brutality of the sexual assault, if the victim was one's spouse. It was not until 1993 that all 50 states had abolished their marital rape exemptions.
As the above overview makes clear, the status of women following the Civil War was complex. On the one hand, there was a growing awareness of women's rights and women's issues, and one can clearly see the roots of change emerging in the time period before the Civil War and gaining strength during and immediately after the war. On the other hand, one also sees a backlash against women beginning to occur during that time period, so that changes that seemed imminent took far longer than one may have imagined. In fact, the Equal Rights Amendment, which would basically do for gender what the 14th Amendment did for race, has still not been passed. What this makes clear is that women's rights changed in the time period following the Civil War, but have not yet changed to an extent that women are wholly equal, in the eyes of the law and of society, to men in the modern United States.

S. Constitution, and Susan B. Anthony was very upset at that. For one thing, the women's suffrage movement had vigorously supported the abolition of slavery well prior to (and, of course, during the Civil War); and now that blacks were free, and were given the right to vote (although many blacks in America didn't really get to vote until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 guaranteed their right to cast votes)
WOMEN'S RIGHTS: EQUALITY IN THE WORKFORCE, EQUAL PAY Women's Rights: Equality in the Workplace, Equal Pay Legislative background. The word "sex" is always an attention-getter, and when used in legislation, it can be polarizing. Public Law 82-352 (78 Stat. 241) was passed by Congress in 1964 as a civil rights statute. The Law made it a crime to discriminate in all aspects of employment on the basis of race and sex. Representative
In 1963, the Equal Pay Act equalized pay between men and women by law, but did not apply to many types of employment such as administrators, professionals, and executives. The following year, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawed discrimination based on gender (and race), in conjunction with the creation of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to enforce employment rights and redress violations of law in that
Women's Rights Movement In The 1970s In A People's History of the United States, Zinn begins his narrative of the liberation of women with the women's suffrage movement of the early twentieth century. However, according to Zinn, even after women were granted their vote, their identity was still largely measured by their success in living up to the idealized role models of wife and mother till the overt feminist movement of

Family planning is not talked about socially in traditional Ethiopian culture, except at local health
Women's Lives After American Revolution Whereas the American Revolution has had a significant on people living in the thirteenth American colonies in general, it was also responsible for generating change in domains that appeared to have nothing in common with it. Previous to the War of Independence, most women in the colonies were relatively accustomed with being discriminated on a daily basis. The American Revolution, however, played a major role in
But sometimes the victims themselves are afraid to voice their grievances in the public because speaking up entails shame, ostracization, and even extra-judicial killings. The victims can express their grievances in public "only at certain times and in certain ways" because their rights are infringed on social and cultural levels (Dewey).

The menu offered a good variety of choices, service was prompt and friendly, and the view was spectacular. The Bananas Foster French Toast was fabulous, and was accompanied by a dish of vanilla ice cream.
Terrible service, terrible food, extremely expensive... Kamloops use to be a wonderful place to dine. It has been steadily declining over the past 10 years.
Tried this Restaurant on our last few visits. Ordered appetizers for our evening meal - they were okay - can't really mess up fries and a sandwich. Tried them a few times for dinner - it was horrible. WAY over priced and waitress very poor customer service. The view is beautiful but you can see that from your room.
Kamloops at Superior Shores is located just north of Two Harbors overlooking beautiful Lake Superior. The location and ambience of this place is fantastic. Go for the view and order the one and only good bottle of wine on the wine list.

The breakfast buffet was great. Scrambled eggs, cheesy hashbrowns, bacon, sausage, waffle fries, pancakes, rolls, fruit, and more.
We had lunch at Kamloops on 10/15/16. It appeared that the server was a trainee, as he was slow and somewhat forgetful concerning your requests (more coffee), however, our meal was well worth the wait. Their Juicy Lucy burger was second to none, and the prime rib sandwich was very generous and oh so tasty.
I actually ate there back...
They were horribly understaffed and had no idea how to handle that. We waited at the top of the stairs (entrance) for over 10 minutes, with 3 other families, and didn't get greeted; restaurant was 25% full. Decided to walk into the bar to see if we could get a menu there, nope! Back to the line, the 3 other...
I've never asked for a manager in my life but I did here. The food was warm at best. 2 hours to get our food. Saw 3 parties walk out because they weren't being waited on. I'll order pizza in for the 2nd night of our trip. Do yourself a favor and go to town. I'd suggest The Pub in...
Stayed on a superior Shores property so after checking in too tired to look for someplace else to eat. We both had shrimp and steak. The shrimp was delicious and had a light breading . The steak was average but tasty. Drinks reasonable. The salad was fresh.
Portions generous. Not gourmet but more than passable.
We ate here three time in a two day stay. The menu is top notch. Be certain to have the artichoke dip. The best ever anywhere. The entrees are also chef-inspired. Well done but not inexpensive.

Ratings for Dr. Steven C. Plaxe
Worst Doctor Ever! I found out through google that I was mis-diagnosed with LMS. He was no help. I recorded him saying it wasn't his job to look at pathology reports!!!!
Dr. Plaxe was the worst Doctor I have ever seen. He didn't listen to what I said and, because of that, put my health at great risk. Had I not seen another doctor, I would have died. Thank goodness I had the good sense to listen to my own body and not Dr. Plaxe's dangerous advice.
Wonderful doctor, very calming..the best and the brightest defines Dr. Plaxe, he is never in a hurry takes all the time YOU need, making him behind sometimes, but he is worth the wait.
Good communicator. Takes as much time as necessary to answer all questions, even if this messes up the schedule.
A very knowledgable doctor and skilled surgeon. He takes the time to explain your condition and treatment. Specializes in gynecological cancers.

This invention relates to computer control and input devices where computer action is determined by the position or motion of the member of the control device.
Many computer action games such as flight simulators are played with a joystick control devices of one type or another. Joystick control devices traditionally have a vertical stick with X and Y sensors for defining a position in a horizontal plane. In one version, the stick is pivotally mounted i.e. it has a fixed position at one end and it is freely movable at the other. Therefore, the stick can be moved in a radial direction at one end only. In another version, a stick has a "fixed" point in the center of the mechanism so that one side is used as a handle for hand while the other is moving parts of the sensor. Joystick control devices mentioned above don't provide any means for a longitudinal movement of the control stick and sensing thereof when such control would be desired.
It is an object of this invention to provide a computer control apparatus for use with computer controlled devices, electronic games and a like. Of the large number of applications three are discussed in detail. A mechanism is provided for a control stick to be movable in radial as well as longitudinal direction. This apparatus provides means for more real billiard game simulation programs and a like. When apparatus is modified with a bow attachment it can be used as archery simulator. Yet another option provides computer control where the rotation of the stick together with other movements is desirable. Such apparatus could be used to control surgical manipulators in surgery and diagnostics, or with remotely controlled devices to help disabled persons. Parts or complete robots could be manipulated in industrial and military environments with this control apparatus.
It is another object of the invention to provide for a general purpose control stick mechanism which can be used in various position and in combination with springs and locking mechanism to establish preferred quiescent states. Various electrical and electronic elements attached to or included in the mechanism provide for a large variety of different control signals relating to the manipulation of the control stick and the speed with which the control stick is operated.

FIG. 2f shows the third type of the control stick, a combination of the previous two.
FIG. 3 is a diagram of major electronic components, their interconnections and sections of control cue passing magnetic sensors.
FIG. 4a is a an illustration of the arrangement of magnetic sensors and their connections to the electronic circuit, and the arrangement of magnetic elements along part of the extension of the control stick.
FIG. 4b shows two magnetic sensors in operative proximity of magnetic elements which are arranged circumferentially around a section of the control stick.
FIG. 5 is a view of a computer control device in front of the computer monitor connected to the personal computer.
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the computer control device in front of the computer monitor with a simulated image of a billiard table, billiard ball, cue ball, and a virtual cue.
FIG. 7 is an illustration of a control apparatus adaptor for use in archery simulation.
FIG. 8 is an illustration of a control apparatus used as a bike or motor bike controller.
In accordance with this invention, a mechanism is provided where sensors convert the position and movement of the control stick into control signals for use in computer program control. The preferred embodiment of the invention comprises a mechanism with sensors for two pivotal movement, preferably with horizontal and vertical orientation of the axes, of the control stick, and sensors for the longitudinal and rotational movement of the control stick. By rotating the control apparatus these two axes may both become horizontally oriented. It is considered within the scope of the present invention to use axes which are not normal to each other.
Referring to FIG. 1 an illustration of preferred embodiment of the invention is shown. Base 10 contains electronic circuit board with electronic components, provides support for the control stick mechanism in enclosure 11 and provides a resting surface for the users hand. Cable 14 connects control stick apparatus to the personal computer game port or electronic game device with connector 15. Control input devices 12 and 13 provide control of players virtual position around the virtual pool table. Control input device 12 causes virtual movement to the left while control input device 13 causes virtual movement to the right. Control input devices 8 and 9 provide virtual vertical movement, i.e. the virtual height of the control stick 2 above the rim of the pool table. Control stick 2 is freely movable inside the guide tube 1.
FIG. 2a through FIG. 2f are illustrations of electromagnetic position detectors and 3 different types of control sticks with 2 respective cross sections. Control sticks are made of nonmagnetic material and have permanent magnetic rings or segments embedded in them. Another design choice calls for a magnetic coating used in place of permanent magnetic rings or segments. A pattern, similar to a magnetic field created by already described permanent magnetic elements, would need to be recorded on a such coating. Recording could be done in any mathematically formulated pattern. For example, a Gray code pattern would provide information for direction of the rotation and absolute position of the control stick at the same time. It the above disclosure the use of multiple magnetic patterns were discussed including recording of data in such pattern. Alternatively one could use physical characteristics in context of similar marking to identify the position of that stick relative to the reference point which is represented by the intersection of the two axes 25 and 26 defining the angular movement of stick 2.
FIG. 2a is an illustration of electromagnetic sensors and position detectors. Control stick 2 is inserted into guide tube 1 which has sensor means 4, 5, 6, 7, and optional sensor means 43 and 44. Guide tube 1 is mounted between 2 sections forming axis 25 which is suspended between sensor means 4 and bearing 24. Sensor means 4 detects movements of guide tube 1 when pivoted around axis 25, shown as a rotation α. If mounting of the guide tube 1 on the side of axis 25 is desired, the software may need to compensate for the offset. Sensor means 5 registers movements of support means 3 in a plane normal to axis 26, shown as a rotation β. Magnetic field sensitive side of sensor means 6 and 7 face towards inside of guide tube 1 to detect any movement of control stick 2 or other version of control stick. This arrangement provides for interchangeability of different types of control sticks. Sensor means 6 detect longitudinal movements (direction 27) of control stick 2 while sensor means 7 detect the rotation γ of control stick 2. Control input devices 12 and 13 or 8 and 9 or any combination thereof are used to select the direction of the motion or the rotation of the control stick 2. A single sided support for guide tube 1 could be used, thus eliminating bearing 24 in another implementation of support means 3. The intersection of axis 25 and axis 26 for the rotation of control stick 2 of the whole arrangement provides the reference point of the linear movement of control stick 2.
Control stick 2 with embedded magnetic rings 20 is shown on FIG. 2b with the respective cross section C--C on FIG. 2c. Polarization of magnetic rings 20 is running longitudinally as shown on FIG. 2c. Item 28 designates the distance between center lines 29 of two adjacent magnetic rings 20.
Alternative control stick 21 is shown on FIG. 2d. Magnetic segments 22 are embedded into nonmagnetic material and polarized as shown on FIG. 2e. Control apparatus detects the rotation of control stick 21 with sensor means 6 and 7 together with the angular α and β movements, FIG. 2a. Control knob 23 prevents moving the control stick too far into guide tube 2. Longitudinal movement shown as item 27 on FIG. 2a would not be detected.
A combination of control stick 2 and control stick 21 makes control stick 34, shown on FIG. 2f. One section of control stick 34 has magnetic rings 35 while the other section has magnetic segments 36. Polarizations of magnetic elements are similar to their equivalents described in above paragraphs.
To detect the direction of the movement automatically, optional sensors 43 and 44 are used. They are mounted in a similar fashion as sensor means 6 and 7. Control knob 37 and removable cap 38 limit movement of control stick 34 in longitudinal direction. That prevents a sudden switch between respective functions of sensor means 6 and 7 or optional sensor means 43 and 44.
FIG. 3 is an illustration of position of sensor means 6, 7, 43, and 44 on guide tube 1. Circumferential lines 31 are spaced the same distance (item 28, FIG. 2c) as center lines 29 of magnetic rings 20 on control stick 2. Longitudinal lines 32 are spaced the same arc distance (ε) as N and S edges of magnetic segments 22 of control stick 21 (see FIG. 2e). Sensor means 6 and 7 are spaced in multiples of distance 28, shown on FIG. 2c, plus 1/2 of the thickness of magnetic ring 20. Sensor means 6 and 7 are apart for 1/2 of an arc distance ε between N and S poles of magnetic segments 22 of the control stick 21. Circuit 40 (FIG. 4a) would thus automatically detect rotation γ and the direction (see FIG. 2a) of control stick 21.
FIG. 4a is electronic diagram of control apparatus 42 with sensor means 4 (rotation α), 5 (rotation β), 6, and 7 connected to electronic circuit 40. In the illustrated implementation of the present invention sensor means 4 and 5 are variable resistors while sensor means 6 and 7 are magnetic pickups. When a control stick 2 moves in direction 27 shown on FIG. 2a, magnetic rings 20 cause change of the magnetic field in proximity of sensor means 6 and 7 thereby generating voltages which are amplified and converted to digital pulses in electronic circuit 40 of FIG. 4a. Signals from the circuit 40 are feed to computer interface 41 via cable 14. Control and sense information can be transmitted to the computer or other device using infrared or other communication means.
FIG. 4b is a section of the FIG. 4a where control stick 2 is replaced with a control stick 21. Sensor means 6 and 7 are separated 1/2 of the arc distance ε between the poles of magnetic segment 22. Moving magnetic segments 22 causes sensor means 6 and 7 to generate positive and negative voltage pulses respectively when passing N and S magnetic poles of magnetic segments 22, therefore provide means for automatic detection of the direction of the rotation.
FIG. 5 is an illustration of a preferable game arrangement of control apparatus 50 and monitor 52. Computer 51 is shown as a separate unit, connected with cable 14 to control apparatus 50 and with cable 53 to monitor 52.
FIG. 6 is an illustration of a billiard game application of control apparatus 60 in combination with computer monitor 67. Monitor screen 75 shows virtual cue 61 with virtual cue tip 69, as virtual extension of control stick 2, billiard balls 62 and 63, billiard table rim 64 with pockets 65 and 66. Normally, the control apparatus 60 is put in the middle between left and right sides of monitor 67. A player looks at screen 75 and observes virtual cue 61 moving in accordance with movement of control stick 2. The virtual height of the virtual cue 61 above virtual billiard table 76 is adjusted by actuating control input devices 8 and 9 (see FIG. 1) for up or down, while the virtual left and right movement of the player around the virtual billiard table 76 is controlled by control input devices 12 and 13 (see FIG. 1).
When control stick 2 on FIG. 6 is equipped with optical sensor 68 at the tip pointing to monitor screen 75, a feedback of control stick 2 provides exact pointing direction. Optical sensor 68 is connected to electronic circuit 40 providing a signal relating to the cursor, virtual cue tip 69 of virtual cue 61 on the screen, thereby allowing to align the displayed image including a virtual image of control cue 61 with control apparatus 60.
FIG. 7 is an illustration of a section of a modified version of control apparatus 60 of the present invention for use in virtual archery application. An attachment made of plastic sleeve 71 with bow 72, and string 73 is mounted on guide tube 1 of control apparatus 60. Plastic cap 70 is mounted and locked at the end of control stick 2. The diameter of cap 70 is larger than inner diameter of plastic sleeve 71 so that control stick 2 can not fly out of guide tube 1 when it's pulled back by the operator hand and released. When plastic sleeve 71 accommodates a trigger and control stick 2 has a notch in it, apparatus 60 provides means for a virtual crossbow application.
FIG. 8 is an illustration of a control apparatus mechanism 11 positioned for bike or motor bike simulated riding applications. Handle bars 80 are mounted on control stick 81 which is inserted into guide tube 1. Control stick 81 is similar to control stick 21 (FIG. 2d) and turns around vertical axis, item 84. Additional control input means 82 and 83 for gas, clutch, and shift gear simulation are mounted on handle bars 80. In this application the actual control stick mechanism is turned so that control stick 81 extends through the top surface of mechanism 11. Control stick 81 can be forced into an upper position by a spring, thereby allowing to make use of a forced downward push to operate additional signal generating means for actuating or controlling additional functions. Such additional functions could initiate scale changes of the display. Other springs can be attached to force stick 81 into preferred positions when not operated.
Wireless connections between control apparatus and computer could also include wireless connections between subcontroller, such as a handle with additional control devices, which is attached to control stick 2, and electronic circuit 40 in FIG. 45. Additional cable or wireless connections could also be implemented between circuit 40 and input devices controlled by foot or other means.
It is considered to be within the scope of the artisan skilled in the art to replace described sensor means 6, 7, 43, and 44 with Hall effect generators, magnetic field sensors, photosensors, contacts, or other. For example, a control apparatus with photosensors would require either a control stick with a pattern printed or otherwise applied on the surface of a control stick or transparent control stick with nontransparent sections. In another example, a ball sensor detects linear and rotational movements of control stick 2 providing 2 independent signals representing the movements.
It is also considered that an attachment resembling a gun or underwater gun could be mounted in place of bow and arrow for hunting or target practicing simulation. A trigger mechanism with sensor would be mounted on the control stick and connected with a flexible cable or other means to the electronic circuit.
Physical connection between the control apparatus and computer could be replaced with infrared light or radio connection. A lock mechanism could be added to prevent the control stick to move in certain directions. Goggles for virtual reality could be used in place of a computer monitor for 3-D simulation. When turning of control stick 21 is not required, non-round guide tube and control stick could be implemented.
The apparatus of the present invention provides a large variety of signals representative of movement and rate of movement of the actual control stick. Using the apparatus in different orientations of the various axes of movement allows to simulate quite different operations, such as aircraft control sticks with two angular control movements (fighters) or one angular movement or with linear movement of the control column besides the rotation of the control handles, or motor cycle or car control with the control wheel having an angled or even near vertical rotational axis. Offset control means allow to adjust the displayed image to the location of the control apparatus.
Means sensing an occurrance of an optical event in a displayed image, such as the passage of the cathode ray of a cathode ray display, or an event linked to a scanning operation in other types of displays, or the repetetive display of a pattern in timewise or location defined manner or other predetermined event markers can be used to timewise synchronize the control signals with the displayed image. The output of the means for sensing such an optical event can be used in combination with the position signals and the position offset signals to relate the position of the computer control apparatus to the displayed image and enable a symbolic image of the control apparatus or parts of it in the displayed image.

Surface Water Quality Testing for the Environmental Monitoring Industry
We have a wide range of water testing equipment that is used to record trends across different water quality parameters in water bodies such as streams, lakes and rivers, as well as in seawater. Understanding these trends means that when there is a change it could be an early warning that there is a pollutant in the water or there has been a change in the aquatic ecosystem. Early detection is necessary to put mitigating measures in place.
Our parameters are wide ranging, although the most commonly measured in surface water testing and monitoring are dissolved oxygen, pH, electrical conductivity and temperature, which are standard on most Aquaprobes. If you require specific parameters to be tested, there is the option to add additional parameters.
