  • Can anybody tell me the context of this Aldous Huxley quote?

    I am writing a paper for my AP English Lit class - we just read Brave New World, and I want to include the following quote:

    “The charm of history and its enigmatic lesson consist in the fact that, from age to age, nothing changes and yet everything is completely different” (Aldous Huxley).

    I know it's not from BNW, does anybody know where its from or the context of the quote?

    Thanks! :)

  • Anat./Phys. Lab Question: Compare pulse rate and heart rate?

    Hi - we're studying the heart [circulation, conduction, etc] right now in anatomy. We did a simple lab where we measured blood pressure / pulse at different conditions [relaxed, standing, reclined, after exercise, etc.]

    One of the questions is: "Compare the pulse rate and the heart rate." I believe they are the same, but I just want to clarify.

    The next question asks, "Compare the radial and carotid pulse rates." Both are the same, as well, right? {Unless there are circulatory problems, etc.]?

    If you could please clarify, that would be great. Thanks!

  • Influence of the 1920s culture?

    I'm doing the "Decades" project for my APUSH class and I'm researching fashion and consumer products during the 1920s. From someone who has done some research (or at least knows a bit about the 1920s), what caused the revolution of fashion? There were significant changes in women's and men's fashion - what might have caused this. (Does the woman's suffrage movement have any relation?)

    No spam please - thanks for the help

    (:
