  Secondary source - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the study of history, secondary sources are those writings which were not penned contemporaneously with the events in question.
Secondary sources often are subjected to peer review, are well documented, and are often produced through institutions where methodological accuracy is important to the future of the author's career and reputation.
Secondary sources are often used in common law, to allow judges to determine what is actually meant by the language of a particular statute.

 Secondary education - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Secondary education is a period of education which, in most contemporary educational systems of the world, follows directly after primary education, and which may be followed by tertiary, "post-secondary", or "higher" education (e.g., university).
In some educational systems, secondary schools are literally termed middle schools; the use of this term, however, is not consistent around the world as middle school in some systems refers to the first period of secondary schooling, or alternately, the last period of primary education.
Primary and secondary education together are sometimes (in particular, in Canada, Australia and the United States) referred to as "K-12" education, (K is for kindergarten, 12 is for twelfth grade).

 School-wide PBS:Secondary Prevention
Secondary Prevention is designed to provide intensive or targeted interventions to support students who are not responding to Primary Prevention efforts.
Secondary Prevention is designed for use in schools where there are more students needing behavior support than can be supported via intensive and individual tertiary support, and for students who are at risk of chronic problem behavior, but for whom high intensity interventions are not essential.
Secondary Prevention addresses the needs of students who require more support than is available for all students (i.e., Primary Prevention) and less support than is available for individual students who need flexible, focused, personalized interventions (tertiary prevention).

Commission action authorizing leasing and other secondary market activities is consistent with the market-based spectrum management approach that the Commission has been pursuing with great success.
As the NPRM correctly notes, it is essential to establish the right rules of the road for these secondary market relationships so that such use maximizes, rather than detracts from, efficient spectrum use.
Licensees that use spectrum on a non-commercial basis should be permitted to lease spectrum through secondary market arrangements so long as the lessee uses the spectrum for non-commercial purposes.

The secondary polycythemic disorders may also be acquired or congenital; however, they are driven by circulating factors independent of the function of hematopoietic stem cells.
The prognosis of patients with secondary polycythemia is generally related to the prognosis of the underlying disorder.
Distinguishing between polycythemia vera/primary polycythemia and secondary polycythemias is important because patients with untreated polycythemia vera have a very high risk of thrombotic problems and, to a lesser degree, hemorrhagic problems, which may be fatal or severely disabling.
