A Power in the World

Few people today know that in the nineteenth century, Hawai‘i was not only an internationally recognized independent nation but played a crucial role in the entire Pacific region and left an important legacy throughout Oceania. As the first non-Western state to gain full recognition as a coequal of the Western powers, yet at the same time grounded in indigenous tradition and identity, the Hawaiian Kingdom occupied a unique position in the late nineteenth-century world order. From this position, Hawai‘i’s leaders were able to promote the building of independent states based on their country’s model throughout the Pacific, envisioning the region to become politically unified. Such a pa...

Conspiracy?

In 1993 St. Louis, John Peterson and Tammy Wilburn were celebrating John's new computer career and the start of a new life together until fate dealt them a new hand. In a spin of fate and circumstance the young couple is propelled through time to 1963 and provided an opportunity to stop the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Weaving a carefully crafted plan, John is prepared to kill Lee Harvey Oswald in the Texas School Book Depository to prevent the President's assassination. But is there a second gun man? The reputed shooter behind the grassy knoll? Perhaps, John and Tammy reason, it is better not to rewrite history. Perhaps the opportunity before them is to prove the President's assassinat...

The Hawaiian Kingdom—Volume 3

The colorful history of the Hawaiian Islands, since their discovery in 1778 by the great British navigator Captain James Cook, falls naturally into three periods. During the first, Hawaii was a monarchy ruled by native kings and queens. Then came the perilous transition period when new leaders, after failing to secure annexation to the United States, set up a miniature republic. The third period began in 1898 when Hawaii by annexation became American territory. The Hawaiian Kingdom, by Ralph S. Kuykendall, is the detailed story of the island monarchy. In the first volume, "Foundation and Transformation," the author gives a brief sketch of old Hawaii before the coming of the Europeans, based ...

Dynamic Power Supply Transmitters

"Power is dissipated (lost) when this current flows through any resistance, which includes the amplifier's transistor. This dissipated power is the product of the current in the load times the voltage difference between the supply voltage to the amplifier and the output signal voltage. When the voltage supplied to the amplifier is a constant value, and by far the most common design practice, the situation in Fig. 1-2a results. Power dissipation in the amplifier is maximum when the output signal voltage is 1/2 of the supply voltage. When the output signal voltage is higher, even though the current value is larger the voltage drop is less and the power dissipation is lower. Similarly, when the output signal voltage is small, even though the voltage drop is now large the current in the load is smaller and again the power dissipation is lower"--
