This document summarizes a research paper about identifying the natural reservoir of SARS-CoV. It discusses how SARS emerged in China in 2002 and was later identified as a novel coronavirus. Retrospective studies found no prior antibodies in humans, indicating animal-to-human transmission. Researchers later discovered that bats are natural reservoirs of SARS-like viruses, providing evidence that SARS-CoV is a zoonotic virus of wildlife origin. Early investigations identified SARS-like coronaviruses in masked palm civets and raccoon dogs at a wild animal market, but bats are believed to be the ultimate natural reservoir.

Impact of infectious diseases
As people know, now the COVID-19 is quite serious and spreading rapidly. And people do not have a curing method about it. COVID-19 causes xxx confirmed diagnosis and xxx death in the whole world. Also, people still don't know where COVID-19 comes from and how we can protect ourselves from being healthy. From COVID-19, people should have profound thinking about why infection diseases cause and how can human avoid virus infection and how can government-run do during the virus outbreak and reconstruction after the outbreak. Historically, there are so many infection diseases in the world, such as SARAS, Ebola, HIV and COVID-19.
Most infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi. Diseases can be spread from person to person, directly or indirectly. Zoonotic diseases are infectious diseases of animals that can cause diseases when spread to humans. However, infectious diseases are caused by multiple reasons, mostly infectious is from animals, because some animals they carry the virus in their body, those viruses may not affect themselves, however, when spreading of the virus, the virus will mutate to parasitize humans, and human's body will have an overt reaction to the virus. In this article, it will discuss 4 infectious diseases, SARAS, HIV, Ebola, and COVID-19.
In the first place, whenever someone always have doubts where infectious diseases from, how infectious diseases are formed. 普遍上来说,Infectious diseases usually have a great harm rate, because when an infectious disease breaks out, the doctors usually do not have any preparations, so they can not treat the disease well, or sometimes they can infect the doctor themselves. If people want to protect them in order to avoid disease, the most considerable thing is that they must know least one infectious history, such as how it formed, who is more susceptible to infection, does it have any medical treatment, does it success. SARAS is a typical example about it. Practically, SARS-CoV is the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, and it is deadly infectious diseases and people are also easily infected. SARS- CoV cause 8096 cases, including 774 deaths, in 37 countries for 8 months. The transmit speed of SRAS is very fast, people who get infection, they always have Fever, cough, difficulty breathing, chest radiographs showing shadows of both lungs, and some patients developed respiratory failure. Unfortunately, the use of antibiotics against bacterial infections has not worked. And SRAS infectious for people is depend on the strength of the personal resistance occurs. From research, SRAS-CoV's occurrence of spreading in wild animals. Because the scientist are aware of SRAS virus related to the spread of wild animals. Following this clue, the scientists first targeted the Guangdong wildlife market, and soon isolated and detected exactly the same virus as the SARS virus in the civet cats on the market..
Corona virus current scenario (theoretical outlook)Dr. sreeremya S
Corona virus(COVID-19) is RNA virus. Which has proved to be pandemic.It causes respiratory disease called Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome(SARS). Currently it is a deadly disease which is killing hundreds of people day by day from late 2019 to till date. There is only few studies regarding the corona virus infection in animals. Studies are still progressing to find remedies like variolation, RNA silencing or boosting human interferon’s to decrease the affect of the disease.

22.4 How do diseases spread?
Context: Some unicellular organisms cause disease in ecological systems.
Major themes: All cells come from preexisting cells, cells maintain internal environments that differ from their external environments, cell structure defines cell function, and cells communicate with other cells.
Bottom line: Unicellular organisms that cause disease can spread rapidly in a susceptible population of animals, leading to an outbreak.
Biology Learning Objectives
Describe how severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) spreads.
Explain how disease outbreaks occur in ecological systems.
There are many species interactions in ecological systems. In parasite-host interactions, populations of animals or plants may be susceptible to newly-introduced disease-causing organisms. The
pathogen
may be a unicellular organism, such as
Giardia
or a bacterium. You already know how some parasites that cause disease (such as,
Giardia
and
B. burgdorferi
, which causes Lyme disease) affect individuals and populations.
{Connections: Lyme disease is discussed in Section 22.2.}
In this section, you will learn how a newly introduced pathogen spreads among the individuals in a population.

Occasionally, new diseases emerge in a population. In late 2002, a farmer in Guangdong Province, in southern China, was treated for pneumonia with flu-like symptoms. The patient died, but no definitive diagnosis was made on the cause of death. By early 2003, many more cases were observed. The illness usually began with high fever and mild respiratory symptoms, but progressed to pneumonia in a few days. The disease was named severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Because of the outbreak and severity of the disease, scientists quickly went to work to discover the causative agent of SARS, which turned out to be a coronavirus (Figure 22.18). Coronaviruses are enveloped by spherical spike proteins with surface projections that form a corona around the virus and a
ssRNA
containing (in the case of the SARS coronavirus) 13 genes that code for 14 proteins.

Travel-related infectious diseases on the rise
International travel has an important role in the transmission of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases across geographical areas.
Since 1980, the world has been threatened by different waves of emerging disease epidemics.
In the twenty-first century, these diseases have become an increasing global concern because of their health and economic impacts in both developed and resource-constrained countries.
It is difficult to stop the occurrence of new pathogens in the future due to the interconnection among humans, animals, and the environment.
As many as 43%–79% of travelers to low- and middle-income countries become ill with a travel-related health problem.
Although most of these illnesses are mild, some travelers become sick enough to seek care from a health care provider.

Structural Design on Virus and its Diversityijtsrd
The coronavirus disease 19 COVID 19 is a highly transmittable and pathogenic viral infection caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 SARS CoV 2 , which emerged in Wuhan, China and spread around the world. Genomic analysis revealed that SARS CoV 2 is phylogenetically related to severe acute respiratory syndrome like SARS like bat viruses, therefore bats could be the possible primary reservoir. The intermediate source of origin and transfer to humans is not known, however, the rapid human to human transfer has been confirmed widely. In this document we will analyze the structure and diversity of the pathogen and we will also discuss the previous emergence of human coronaviruses like Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus SARS CoV and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome MERS CoV .

Before March 2020, many people saw pandemics as a thing of the past. Then came COVID-19. Scientists still do not know exactly where the virus that caused it — SARS-CoV-2 — came from, but it soon reached almost every country worldwide. Over 2 years, the virus has evolved, producing several variants. In this Special Feature, we look at the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 and ask what lessons scientists have learned.

• Two glasses of some wines contain more than the recommended daily limit of sugar and more calories than a hamburger.
• However, alcohol is exempt from food and drink labeling rules, so consumers are mostly unaware of calorie and sugar loads.
• Health experts are pushing for clear nutritional labeling on alcoholic products to help reduce sugar and alcohol consumption.
The Alcohol Health Alliance UK (AHA), representing over 60 health organizations, recently commissioned an independent laboratory to test 30 bottles of red, rose, white, sparkling, and fruit wines sold in the United Kingdom for sugar content.
The resulting analysis, which appears on the AHA’s website, revealed a “wide variation of sugar and calories between products.”

pneumonia–like virus suddenly appeared in February 2003 in Hanoi of the Guangdong providence
in Southern China, and rapidly spread to thirty countries, infecting 8,098 people and killing more
than 774 in a matter of months [3]. Investigations identified a Chlmydia–like organism using
electron microscopy in patients who had died from this atypical pneumonia, however this could not
be confirmed as the disease, as it was not seen in other patients outside China [3]. After a global
collaboration, researchers identified the etiologic agent of this atypical pneumonia to be a

Retrospective serologic studies indicated that proior to the SARS outbreak, there were no antibodies
in the human population (KSIAZEK ET AL 2003). This finding was vitally important because it
indicated that animal–to–human transmission is responsible for the SARS–CoV entrance into the
human population. Two groups of researchers recently and independently demonstrated that bats
(genus Rhinolophus) are natural reservoirs of Sars–like viruses, which provided very strong
evidence that SARS–CoV was a zoonotic virus with wildlife orgin [6,7] The identification of a
natural reservoir is both difficult and essential. A natural reservoir is where the virus "hides"
between outbreaks, and is often difficult to identify because the organism does not display
symptoms of the disease. Early observation of patterns in SARS–CoV transmission showed that
many of the first patients were had gone to or worked in China's exotic animal markets. Early
studies in SARS–CoV identification focused on the wild–animal markets of southern China.
Researchers in China identified a SARS–like–coronavirus in masked palm civets (Paguma larvata)
and a raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) in one market in the city Shenzhen, part of the
southern provience of Guangdong [8]. It was found that these animals had antibodies against a

SARS is; a Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. It is a serious form of pneumonia that is caused by
a virus that was discovered in 2003. SARS is caused by a member of the family of Coronavirus, the
same family that causes the common cold. It is believed that this epidemic was caused by small
mammals in China. When someone with the SARS disease sneezes or coughs, droplets of the
infection spray out of their mouths. You can easily catch and spread this virus if you breathe in or
even touch these particles of infected droplets. The SARS virus can live up to almost six hours on
hands, tissues and other surfaces. And then another three hours, after the droplets have dried. SARS
can also spread through hands and other objects that the droplets of

5. Outlasting the SARS Epidemic
Introduction
When speaking of epidemics, the memories which come to mind are different for different people;
for those who lived in Hong Kong in 2002–2003, images that spring up would almost invariably be
of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, the epidemic known to man as SARS in short. Sharing with
us the three–letter acronym (SAR) which was given to us by our leaders in China, this ordeal has
left its mark on our city in more ways than one. It had caused a widespread wave of mysophobia and
health consciousness among the Hong Kong people, which outlasted the SARS epidemic but is
probably slowly waning. It has also raised the awareness of the government of the importance of the
control of infectious diseases, both in the community and in the clinical setting. Most importantly,
SARS showed us what works and what needs improving in terms of infection control in the event of
a major epidemic.
Originally starting in November 2002 in Guangdong Province of China, the SARS coronavirus has
since infected as many as 8422 persons worldwide, with a total of 1755 patients infected, among
which 300 unfortunately succumbed to this disease. (1) Apart from being a major epidemic in the
medical history of Hong Kong and a health threat of global concern, another aspect of SARS worth
noting is the occurrence of nosocomial outbreaks. SARS was the cause of nosocomial outbreaks in
Canada, China, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Singapore. (2) The impact of nosocomial outbreak in an

SARS–The Commonly Uncommon Cold
Acute respiratory illnesses are among the most common infectious diseases known to humans as
they account for nearly half of all diseases that plague our species. Of these respiratory illnesses,
viruses are the cause in 50–75% of reported cases. The Corona Virus known as SARS or Severe
Acute Respiratory Syndrome is one of the most recently highly publicized respiratory illness that
has drawn a surge of research since the first reported cases of the virus in Southern China in 2002.
This publicity was due to the disease's possible complications, which can lead to the death of the
host organism. Even the discoverer of the disease, Dr. Carlo Ubani of the World Health Organization

When each sub–genomic mRNA is translated into a single polypeptide, they will assemble with a
nucleocapsid protein in the cytoplasm to form helical nucleocapsids which are to be released from
the host cell to infect other cells (Brooks et al., 2007).
However, these steps occur only after the virus has entered the host's body. One way in which the
virus can enter the host body is through direct transmission by droplet contact from an infected
individual to an uninfected host. The virus can live for up to six hours in a wet droplet on the skin,
tissues, and other surfaces. However, once the droplets have dried the virus can live for only three
hours longer. A second manner of spreading is through the oral–fecal route in which virus particles
in feces enter another organism through direct contact with the oral cavity. In this manner of spread,
the virus can survive up to four days in the feces (MedlinePlus: Severe Acute Respiratory
Syndrome). Thirdly, the virus can spread by airborne transmission, which is much more dangerous
as small particles can travel much farther and live much longer. This is a particularly important
attribute of the virus as it allowed it to spread worldwide as it is carried through the air of passenger
airliners from continent to continent. Once the airborne virus enters the respiratory tube where it
remains for about 2–3 weeks, it infects ciliated epithelial cells in the nasopharynx and respiratory
tract (Fauci et al.,2008). SARS is

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome or SARS for short, is an internationally known epidemic that
first broke out in 2002 in southern China. SARS is caused by the SARS coronavirus, or SARS CoV
which was genetically proven to have originated from Guangzhou. Guangzhou is the origin of
which caused the spread of SARS into other countries. By 2003 SARS became a global disease
severely affecting several other countries such as, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam, Canada, and
Singapore. SARS causes numerous respiratory complications, some of which become fatal if not
properly treated in adequate time. Treatment options for SARS vary depending on the severity of the

Lots of times when respiratory failure and hypoxemia become present, and as the infected patient's
health continues to deteriorate they are placed in the hospital's ICU. If further decline of the
respiratory system takes place and treatment does not succumb to the disease ARDS can take place,
which will require invasive mechanical ventilation. Death has occurred as a result from this disease
which is why the seriousness of seeking treatment early on is momentous. Due to SARS being a
newly discovered disease in 2002–2003, treatment options, possible cures, and plans for care of this
disease were unprecedented. Oxygen therapy was normally initiated in the preliminary stages of
SARS. Non–Invasive Ventilation (NIV) was reported to be found efficacious in those with
respiratory failure as a result from SARS. NIV reduced the occurrence of intubation or invasive
ventilation, as well as reduced the length of hospital stays in patients researched with SARS.
Ribavirin which is a drug that is helpful in fighting certain viruses by preventing replication of viral
cells has been greatly used in the treatment of SARS. Research later provided that the drug had no
notable effect on the disease. Lopinavir, another antiviral drug was another drug that was
experimented with as a treatment of SARS and was found to reduce overall death rate by 2.3% as

Cesar Chavez addresses a speech that marks history known as the "Wrath of the Grapes Boycott,
1986" in which he expresses his feelings towards farmwork and the worth of humanity. Cesar
Chavez main argument was to regulate the use of pesticides in the agricultural industry. The
pesticides that were being used in the farms were detrimental to the health of many of the laborers.
They polluted the air, water, earth and the health of the people. In no way was this beneficial to
anyone 's health. Chavez objective was to boycott the grapes and show the agricultural industry that
they deserved to be treated better. Chavez speech was meaningful because he was one of the first

Later Chavez became a national leader and resigned in 1962 to devote his time to farm laborers
("Cesar Chavez"). "During this period Chavez encountered the conditions that he would dedicate his
life to changing: wretched migrant camps, corrupt labor contractors, meager wages for backbreaking
work, bitter racism (Cesar Chavez)." One of biggest factors was the use of pesticides which was
harming the health of the farm workers.
This was motivation for Chavez to rise up and do something for the farmworkers. The pesticides
that were being used were harmful to the workers. This addresses the credibility of being a first hand
witness because of pesticide use. In that same year Cesar Chavez founded the National Farm
Workers Association that later became United Farm Workers ("The Story Of Cesar Chavez").
Chavez informed the people of the working conditions and the bad pay. Chavez strategy was to have
non violent marches, strikes and fasts. He encouraged the Farm Workers be be nonviolent and do
things right. The conditions they were working in where harmful to their health because of the
pesticides. The marches, strikes, and fasts led to a success in the grape boycott In 1970. "Table grape

Impact on Local Consumption
The drop in consumption is largely contributed by a change in the consumption habits of
Singaporeans during the SARS period. Due to the transmission pattern of SARS, compounded by
the fact that the virus can survive in the environment for up to twelve hours, anyone can be infected

14). Routes of Transmission In the laboratory setting, the virus was found in respiratory droplets,
feces, saliva, tears and urine (WHO/DCDSR, 2003). SARS is primarily spread through close,
personal contact, such as kissing, hugging, eating or drinking, as well as being within 3 feet of a
person who coughs or sneezes while infected and shedding the virus. These activities allow the
respiratory droplets shed during these activities to come in contact with mucous membranes found
in the eyes, nose and mouth (Kutsar, 2004). Other modes of transmission include aerosolizing
procedures in hospital settings and contamination of surfaces in "healthcare facilities, households
and other closed environments" (Kutsar, 2004, para. 12). There has been no confirmation of fecal–
oral transmission or of transmission via water or food; however, over one–third of the earliest cases
in China were among food handlers (Kutsar, 2004). Finally, there is a possibility of animal vector
transmission, as discussed in regards to the Hong Kong's Amoy Gardens (WHO/DCDSR, 2003).
Effect of Outbreak on Community The SARS outbreak caused major effects on the communities
affected. Based on the 2003 outbreak, one can assume similar issues would develop should the

Severe Acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a respiratory illness that had recently been reported in
Asia, North America, and Europe. SARS was first reported is Asia in February of 2003, over the
next few months it spread to more than a dozen countries. By late July 2003, no new cases were
being reported and the global outbreak was declared over by the World Health Organization. During
this time period 8,098 people worldwide became infected with SARS and out of these 774 died. In
the United States a total of 192 SARS cases had been reported, including 159 suspect and 33

From the sequence scientists were able to determine that virus probably began its life in an animal
then mutated before picking up the power to infect people.
Transmission
SARS appears to spread by close person–to–person contact. It is thought that transmission is most
readily occurred through respiratory droplets. These can be produced when an infected person
coughs or sneezes. These droplets are propelled through the air and are deposited on the mucous
membranes of the mouth, nose, or eyes of a person that is nearby. It is also possible that the virus
can spread when a person touches a surface or object contaminated with infectious droplets and then
touches their mouth, nose, or eyes. Furthermore, it is possible that SARS–CoV might be airborne
spread or by other methods that are not yet known.
Diagnosis
Once infected the typical incubation period for SARS is 2–7 days, however, in some cases it may be
as long as 10 days. The illness usually begins with a fever. Sometimes chills accompany the fever
and other symptoms including headache, general feeling of discomfort, and body aches. Some
people also develop mild respiratory symptoms at the outset. After the incubation period of 2 to 7
days SARS patients may develop a dry nonproductive cough that might be accompanied by or

years of serving in the Navy he returned to California and began to work in the farms again. In 1948
he married Helen Fabela, he lived in a One–room shack and began to raise his family in the town of

He explains an encounter where a teacher told him, "'Sit in the encounter until you learn English'"

racism was alive and present, and it was wrong. He believed that it was wrong for the school to be
treating him a certain way (badly), simply because of his culture. Through the testimonio, these
early encounters show us how Castro's identity and core values were shaped. Furthermore, Castro's
testimonio allows him to tell a fuller story of social activism. For example, Castro vividly recalls the
Watts Riot that took place in Los Angeles. The Watts Riot was the result of the community reacting
to allegations of police brutality against an African–American motorcyclist. Castros explains, "If
you lived or worked anywhere near Watts, located south of the downtown area, you saw and smelled
the smoke from the burning cars and buildings."(Garcia & Castro, Blowout! pg131). This

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is an extremely rare, deleterious disease caused by a

countries by 2003, including Germany, Canada, and the United States. However, by 2004, all cases
of SARS disappeared and have not reappeared anywhere since then. After considerable research,
scientists discovered that the infection was caused by a single–stranded RNA coronavirus. The virus
was so named due to the several corona–like "spikes" that were known to protrude from the

To what degree did the United Farm Workers Association improve the conditions of farmworkers in
California.
Introduction:
In 1910 mexicans fled from Mexico to work in agriculture in America, "they labored in inhumane
conditions" and the people they worked for "ignored state laws on working conditions"(Tavaana).
This is how the farm workers would work before the United Farm Workers Union came along. They
didn't have the rights they deserved, they were treated however the growers would like to treat them
because they would go around the law and do what they wanted. Farm workers didn't have unions
and the rights that they do now back in 1910. Research has been done on this topic on how them
migrating started, on how they were treated, and how it has gotten better over the years. This topic is
important because it discusses some of the history of Mexican immigrants. It also demonstrates
some challenges they went through when they came to the United States to find work. My study of
the topic is important because it will give some background information on how the farm workers
were brought and how they were treated. After I will bring in Cesar Chavez and his contributions to
helping the farm workers. Lastly I will be talking about his negative contribution which isn't talked
about that often and comparing it with the positive. My investigation fits into broader questions in
the subject because it is taking two different points of views and comparing them to each other. I

47. Marie Moreau And Alain Delon Star Persona
Both Jeanne Moreau and Alain Delon star persona's are notable for being embodiments of two
distinctly different approaches to France's burgeoning modernity in a post war context. Though each
star 's representation of a new form of French modernity deviate due to their different gendered
experiences. Their images of modernity challenged traditional codes and conventions of France's
past and represented different and new ideas of the French individual. These challenges were
particularly gendered, through their perpetuation of new ideals and images of gender in French
society. In the case of Jeanne Moreau, her star image came to represent a new image of the French
woman. Moreau's image represented an idea of femininity that was a radical ... Show more content

She lived a new form of bourgeois lifestyle that was affluent, cultivated but more anti conformist
and less cynical, despite remaining very consumeristic. Her focus on leisure as well as individual
freedom, represented another key aspect of French modernity in its mirroring of capitalist and
Western ideology. This behaviour could be seen in her private life and film roles, as she smoked,
drunk and strolled the streets of urban environments, while going to street bars, cafes, casinos. Just
like like the modern female Moreau showed a boredom with traditional bourgeois life and her role
as an urban woman, was a departure of typical conceptions of French femininity, that kept the
woman in the domesticated sphere. This urban femininity can be seen in many of her film roles,
such as the 1957 Louis Malle directed film Ascenseur Pour l 'Échafaud (Elevators to the Gallows).
The film captures her freedom to wander and traverse the environment through its use of tracking
shots that trace her movement and emphasise her belonging and control over the space. Moreau's
modernity must also be considered through her significant role as an actor of the New Wave. In
many ways Jeanne Moreau became a personification of the New Wave style in her star persona, and
this shaped her image of femininity. As a New Wave star, Moreau rejected, the overly constructed
image of the French female, that dominated the persona of previous stars. Unlike previous

49. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome is Caused by the SARS...
The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), a respiratory disease caused by the SARS
coronavirus, hit Hong Kong severely between February and July 2003. SARS was a new type of
viral infection first recorded in China in November 2002. Capable of transmitting through direct
contact with infectious respiratory droplets, the disease spread rapidly across Hong Kong when an
infected doctor visited and died in Hong Kong on 23rd February, 2003. The outbreak of SARS, the
first deadly epidemic of the 21st Century, started from Guangdong, a south province in China in
November 2002. People in Guangdong soon got panic and rushed to shops to purchase vinegar to
heat the vinegar at home and make indoor air humid and acidic. It was hindsight revealed that
China's initial response to the outbreak in Guangdong was slow and lacking transparency. WHO
received the information from China about the "infection" of SARS only on February 11, 2003,
three months later after the first case in Guangdong. While the international community criticized
China for its lack of transparency in its initial response and attempts to tell the minimum impact of
the disease, one fact remained true was that by that time no body in the world had pre–knowledge of
the disease and the cause of the disease. The frustration of knowing so little about the virus, its
prevention, treatment and the difficulty of distinguishing the SARS infection from other known
disease infection caused diagnostic delays and took China some

movement in order to make a sense of Chavez legacy. From different historical resource we learned
that the origins of Mexican Americans in the United States today go back to the days of the Spanish
who first came to Mexico and then expanded north into the Southern United States, especially into
the Southwest. While The Mexican Revolution in 1810 drove the Spanish out of Mexico and
Mexican territory, the Mexican War from 1846 to 1848 ended Mexican control of the Southwest,
and this is what explains the process of forming another American minority that so called Mexican
Americans, and like any other minority of that era, they suffered losing power, land, and wealth. To
stand against inequality, injustice, and discrimination, we, as Mexican Americans, formed different
organizations that to take a collective actions in order to achieve our goals of equality, justice, and
civil rights. For example the Confederacion de Uniones de Obreros Mexicanos (CUOM) was
formed in 1927 in Los Angeles. It proved to be the first really stable organization among Mexican
workers. They organized three thousand workers into twenty locals, and in 1928 they struck in the

Cesar Chavez Union Leader
Effort, hard work, dedication and desire for justice are some of the adjectives that describe the union
leader Cesar Chavez. Below I'll explain the efforts that this man did to fight for the improvement of
working conditions for migrant laborers in the farms.
Chavez was an American union leader; born on March 31, 1927 near Yuma (Arizona) and died on
April 23, 1993 in San Luis (Arizona). Cesar Chavez was the founder of "la
Unidad de los Trabajadores Agricolas" in 1964. He brought together migrant laborers, mostly
Hispanic, to fight for improved working conditions.
During World War II, Cesar Chavez served our country in the Navy. After servicing for 2 years, he
returned to Arizona to work in the field where his family and he worked their entire life. In 1952 he
started as an advisor in the Organization of
Community Services (OSC). His great organizational skills made him the director of the
CSO in 1958; he resigned after four years to work on the creation of an agricultural union to fight
for labor rights of Chicano population. In 1962, Cesar founded the National
Farm Workers Association, later become the United Farm Workers or UFW. During all the social
issues that touched the American society in 1968, Cesar Chavez won a significant public relevance
to launch a nationwide boycott against the producers of grapes in California to obtain a fairer deal
for the seasonal grape pickers.

The Mighty Handful
During nineteenth century, there were five major players who worked together to establish the
unique and distinct sound that is Russian classical music. Mily Balakirev, Cesar Cui, Modest
Mussorgsky, Nikolai Rimsky–Korsakov and Alexander Borodin. The five composers all lived in
Saint Petersburg, Russia, and worked together to created amazing works of music from 1856 to
1870. The Mighty Handful got their name from an article entitled Mr. Balakirev's Slavic Concert, by
acclaimed critic Vladimir Stasov which was a concert that was performed for visiting Slavic
delegates in May 1867 at the All–Russian Ethnographical Exhibition" in Moscow, Russia. The four
Russian composers whose worked were featured at the concert were Mikhail Glinka, Alexander
Dargomyzhsky, Mily Balakirev, and Nikolai Rimsky–Korsakov. The article itself ended with the
statement that lead to be named "The Mighty Handful" "God grant that our Slav guests may never
forget today's concert; God grant that they may forever preserve the memory of how much poetry,
feeling, talent, and intelligence are possessed by the small but already might handful of Russian
musicians." The group started off as a twosome in 1856 with Balakirev and Cui. The rest of the
group started slowly forming starting with Mussorgsky in 1857, Rimsky–Korsakov in 1861, and
then Borodin in 1862. All the composers were young, self–trained amateurs who had other careers
that combined their careers and their love of music.

SARS is an acronym for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. The illness usually first becomes

Scientists have detected a previously unrecognized coronavirus in SARS patients, and this has
become the leading hypothesis for the cause of SARS. Coronaviruses are a group of viruses that,
when viewed under a powerful microscope, have a halo or crown–like (hence corona) appearance.
Viruses under these headings are known to commonly cause mild to moderate upper respiratory
illness in humans. In animals, coronaviruses are associated with respiratory, gastrointestinal, liver,
and neurological diseases. Also, new ways to detect SARS have been discovered. Serologic testing
for the SARS syndrome can be performed using indirect fluorescent antibodies or enzyme–linked
immunosorbent assays that are specific for the antibody that was produced after infection. A reverse
transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (known as RT–PCR) test can also detect SARS in
specimens such as serum, stool, and nasal secretions. Also, viral cultures and isolation have been
used to detect SARS < "1">1)yahoo.com.

According to Charles Duhigg, author of ''Depression, You Say? Check Those Safety Nets" in the

how the stock market crashing led to a significant decline in economic activity and bigger interest
rates. This wiped out millions of investors. Consumer spending dropped and investments too. Steep
declines in industrial output led to rising levels of unemployment. This event affected many
families, but in this case we are going to focus on one family in particular. The Chavez' family. After

interaction of the virons with host cell receptors and subsequent fusion of the viral envelop with host
cell membrane to allow infection" (Wu, 2004). The classical pathway happens when antibodies bind
with antigens, which in this case the spike proteins are attaching to the host cell and infecting the

Cesar Chavez was a great leader that left a legacy in the United States, just like Martin Luther King
Jr. and Ghandi. These great leaders preached for equality and fairness. They were elegant, civilized
and thoughtful about their approach against oppression. Cesar Chavez recognized and praised his
predecessors. He studied and learned from them and their techniques. He used many of the
approaches that MLK and Gandhi used to become successful. Non– violence was crucial to Cesar,
among many other principles. Just like in the generations of these great leaders, hostility and
oppression still exists in the world. In the United States, there are racial, ethnic, and religious groups
that are still being oppressed. There are many ways to go about fighting this oppression, at the
moment I believe that many people are doing it wrong. I feel that protestors, activists and other
organizations should come together to learn and organize an elegant, smart, and respectful
movement that will lead the affected groups into a better tomorrow.
Caesar Chavez was at times addressed to as the "Mexican Moses'' as a reference to the biblical story
of the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. Cesar's followers saw themselves as the
