1970s - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The 1970s decade refers to the years from 1970 to 1979, inclusive, however to some people the early half of the 70s is a part of the 1960s era. In the 1970s, in western countries and especially so in major urban centers, gay and lesbian people came out of the closet as never before (even as many others remained closeted) and a vocal and visible gay-rights movement coalesced in an unprecedented way. This was reflected in the corporate culture of the 1970s, where the hierarchy between supervisor and subordinates became increasingly flat. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/1970s   (10919 words)

Mid-size car - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A mid-size car, frequently referred to as an intermediate, is the North American term for an automobile with a size between that of a compact and a full-size car. By the 1970's, the intermediate class was generally defined as vehicles with wheelbases between 112" and 118". A turning point occurred in the late 1970s, when rising fuel costs and government fuel economy regulations caused all car classes to shrink, and in many cases to blur. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Mid-size_car   (1059 words)

Pulling Apart: State Income Trends - Part 2 - 12/16/97 Nationwide, income inequality increased significantly during the 1970s and 1980s, a stark reversal of the trend towards lessening inequality that prevailed between World War II and the 1970s. Looking at the period from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s, the differences between the income trends of families at the bottom of the income distribution and the income trends of families at the top of the distribution are striking. Average incomes of poor families did not fall in every state between the late 1970s and the mid-1990s; there are six states where the incomes of the bottom fifth of families rose over the period. www.cbpp.org /pa-2.htm   (2345 words)

Syria - Agriculture In 1981 (the year of the latest census), as in the 1970s, 53 percent of the population was still classified as rural, although movement to the cities continued to accelerate. However, in contrast to the 1970s, when 50 percent of the labor force was employed in agriculture, by 1983 agriculture employed only 30 percent of the labor force. In the 1970s, government extension workers and cooperatives strongly urged farmers to rotate cropping in a pattern that would maintain the fertility of the soil and avoid having cultivable fields left fallow. countrystudies.us /syria/43.htm   (5051 words)

Thailand - INDUSTRY The average annual growth rate was 9.3 percent for the 1970s, with a slowdown to 6.7 percent in 1985, which was still very respectable by international standards. Mining and quarrying represented an average of 1.8 percent of GDP in the 1970s and remained fairly constant. Textiles and garments were the most important contributors in the 1970s, accounting for almost half of the total manufactured exports, but by the mid-1980s they had dropped to about 13 percent because of rising foreign protectionism of textiles. countrystudies.us /thailand/66.htm   (1685 words)

Wikinfo | Music of the United Kingdom (1970s) The middle of the 1970s saw legendary rock stars from the 60s like the Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney creating imitations of their own previous work with little of the originality that made the 60s musically interesting. 1970s saw the rise of dub poetry, exemplified by Linton Kwesi Johnson, Sister Netifa and Benjamin Zephaniah. It was a back-to-basics movement that reacted against the glittery glam rock of David Bowie and Gary Glitter, and peaked in the mid 1970s. www.wikinfo.org /wiki.php?title=Music_of_the_United_Kingdom_(1970s)   (1992 words)

books about: 1970s (screenwriters postmodernist doorslammers) The design of the 1970s was distinguished by a strong confluence of creativity and functionalism in furnishing and decor. The 1970s were difficult years for the United States, a time when long-held convictions were challenged and the nation experienced a collective identity crisis. The spirit of innovation was still strong in the 1970s, which Ludvigsen calls "The Last Creative Decade" at the great Speedway.The turbocharged decade witnessed the extinction of the venerable four-banger Offy and the rise of the Cosworth V-8, which took Indy racing into the 1980s. www.very-clever.com /books/1970s   (1215 words)

eMedicine - Brow Lift, Mid Forehead : Article by Bhupendra Patel, MD, FRCS This was a variation of the mid forehead incisional approach in that essentially the same technique was performed via a lower incision. Furthermore, even in the presence of reasonably impressive mid forehead furrows, scars can be significant, and before and after photographs must be shown to the patient to ensure that he or she is willing to accept the ensuing scars. Whereas the mid forehead brow lift was performed relatively frequently in men in the past, advances in endoscopic techniques have allowed minimal incision surgical correction of these patients while avoiding obvious mid forehead scars. www.emedicine.com /plastic/topic41.htm   (6599 words)

The Inflation of the 1970s In magnitude, the total increase in the price level as a result of the sustained spurt in peacetime inflation to the five-to-ten percent per year range in the 1970s was as large as the jumps in the price level as a result of the major wars of this century. It took the 1970s to persuade economists, and policy makers, that "frictional" and "structural" unemployment were far more than one to two percent of the labor force (although we still lack fully satisfactory explanations for why this should be the case). Perhaps the supply shocks of the 1970s had so little apparent effect on the rate of growth of nominal wages because they were not fully accomodated, but were instead accompanied by serious recessions. econ161.berkeley.edu /Econ_Articles/theinflationofthes.html   (3550 words)

Greatest Space Events of the 20th Century: The 70s By the early 1970s, the Soviet Union was forced to abandon its efforts to send people to the moon. Mars was the target of the Mariner 9 spacecraft, which began mapping the planet from orbit in 1971. But in the 1970s, Venus was the only truly successful target for Soviet planetary missions. www.space.com /news/spacehistory/greatest_70s_991230.html   (1964 words)

BP Global - About BP - The spirit of enterprise continues   (Site not responding. Last check: ) The upheavals of the 1970s led BP to conclude that it should broaden its activities so that it could operate in the future with more balanced sources of income. After the diversifications of the 1970s and early 1980s BP found - like other companies which followed a similar course - that it experienced mixed success in managing its 'new' businesses.

[No title] The real tragedy of the 1970s was that because Americans had increasingly lost their faith in their government, they did not trust or believe that their government could solve these problems. As the decade wore on and Americans perceived many of these problems to be getting worse, they only became even more disillusioned with their government.

A Brief History of State and Local Fiscal Policy Interestingly, property taxes, which are included in the indirect tax category, peaked nationally as a share of GDP in 1971, long before they became the object of the tax revolt in California. Had it not been for the rise of Medicaid, grants from the federal government would now be a much smaller share of GDP than in the 1970s (see chart 3). Falling education and training grants account for a major part of the decline, but transportation and community development grants also declined in the 1980s as the federal government wrestled with its budget deficit. www.urban.org /url.cfm?ID=308018   (3627 words)

UFO HBCCUFO.org / Reports Another strange thing was that it is reported that the military paid the two men who were taken aboard this craft and the military kept the men for testing and questioning for approximately two weeks before they were released. In the distance (10 miles) I could see the outline of a mountain range against the sky dead ahead, on top of the mountain was a flashing light which at the time I thought must have been some kind of beacon to warn aircraft. And one night year later in Lethbridge late October I was about to see something truly unbelievable dozens of what appeared to be stars began to change their positions very fast in the night sky they stopped on a dime and move very fast to other positions in different formations. www.hbccufo.org /modules.php?name=News&file=categories&op=newindex&catid=12   (7316 words)

The Royal Academy of Arts : : From Here to There: the Mid 1970s to the Mid 1980s There is a considerable shift in Bellany’s work in the mid '70s, as if the emotional impetus behind the work outweighed consideration of form and composition.

Production of Food and Fiber and Water Withdrawals Recent declines mean that current levels are about equal to those of the late 1970s. Estimates of catches before the late 1970s are uncertain because of the presence then of large foreign fleets, which are no longer permitted to fish in U.S. waters. Since the late 1970s, marine fish landings have increased in the Pacific Coast region (due to an expanding U.S. fleet—see Fish Landings Indicator) and decreased in the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions. www.heinzctr.org /ecosystems/national/fd_wtr_prod.shtml   (572 words)

VeloNews Forum - Bike Talk - ca. mid 1970s crank bcd question I am trying to help my dad find a smaller inner chainring to ease the low end gearing on his bike, but since I reside hours away and can't measure it myself, I thought I'd check with you folks. On a chameleon 1970s bike (currently a fixer), I have a Sugino triple crankset that I bought new but a few years out-of-date in the mid-1980s. I can't remember the letter designation - SC or SE comes to mind - but I'm almost positive that the outer and middle chainrings are 110 because I have in my mind that they are interchangeable with my non-compact mtb chainrings. www.velonews.com /phorum3/read.php?f=2&i=57860&t=57860   (529 words)

Last check: ) The theme of Requicha’s research since the mid 1970s has been the automatic construction of intelligent systems that interact with physical objects In the decade from the mid 1970s to the mid 1980s, he addressed the problem of describing the 3-D objects that populate our physical environment, and did much of the pioneering work on what is now called solid modeling. Today, computer-based solid modelers have largely replaced drafting and manual techniques as the standard means of capturing objects’ geometry in computer graphics, and in industrial computer aided design and manufacturing. lipari.usc.edu /~lmr/html/newbio.html   (263 words)

Claims in Conflict: Reversing Ethnic Cleansing in Northern Iraq: III. Background Since the 1930s, but particularly from the 1970s onwards, successive Iraqi administrations have forcibly displaced hundreds of thousands of ethnic Kurds, Turkomans (a Turkish-speaking Iraqi minority), and Assyrians from northern Iraq, and repopulated the area with Arabs moved from central and southern Iraq. When Human Rights Watch researchers visited the Sunni towns of al-Ramadi and al-Falluja in April and May 2003 respectively, they found entire neighborhoods of desperately poor Kurds who had been forcefully displaced from their homes in the north since the mid-1970s, and had never been allowed to return home. Prior to the 1970s, the Arabs of our tribes used to live in the al-Jazeera desert, and none of them used to own any land.  Or they lived in villages that belonged to other people and worked their land [as sharecroppers].  The people who lived in the al-Jazeera desert lived in temporary settlements [i.e. www.hrw.org /reports/2004/iraq0804/4.htm   (1529 words)
