The term pandemic refers to a disease outbreak that spreads across a wide geographical area and typically affects a large number of people.
Major pandemics are -
1. The 1918 Spanish-flu pandemic (February 1918 – April 1920) - Influenza pandemic of 1918, also known as the Great Influenza & Spanish flu , a virus that spread easily and infected people throughout the world. This virus contains genes from avian origins, which causes H1N1.
2. The HIV/AIDS pandemic. (1981 – present) (42 years)
HIV (Human immunodeficiency virus) is an infection that attacks the body's immune system. AIDS (Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is the most advanced stage of the disease. AIDS weakens the immune system by attacking white blood cells
3. Black Death - The plague pandemic. (1346 – 1353) - There is a strong belief that the Black Death was brought about by plague, a bacterial infection caused by Yersinia pestis. Humans are likely to have contracted the disease from rodents through flea bites.
4. Cholera pandemic. (1817 - present) - A cholera outbreak is caused by the consumption of food or water contaminated with Vibrio cholerae bacteria. There is still a global threat of cholera to public health and it is an indicator of social inequity as well as poor development.
The national government is the natural leader for overall coordination and communication during pandemics, even though all sectors of society are involved in pandemic preparation and response. As a sector that includes both public and private health-care services, the health sector has a natural leadership and advocacy role to play in pandemic influenza preparedness and response efforts.

Why were Paul’s teachings about resurrection so appealing to Christians?
Answer:
And in affirming that the faithful will be “raised” (15:42–44, 52), Paul affirmed that our present perishable bodies will be endowed, through the power of Jesus's resurrection, with imperishable life.''The fundamental doctrinal tenets of Christianity, namely that Christ is God "born in the flesh", that his sacrificial death atones for the sins of humankind, and that his resurrection from the dead guarantees eternal life to all who believe, can be traced back to Paul—not to Jesus.

In a paragraph, what is his argument and what are the policies for and agaist the plan
Jan. 14, 1790
Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury, made his long-awaited report on public credit to Congress on Jan.14. The boyish financial whiz – he celebrated his 33rd birthday Jan. 11 – listened as his 51-page report was read aloud to the nation’s solons at Federal Hall, at the intersection of Wall and Broad Streets. The document, dense with complex financial detail, left congressmen speechless.
They won’t stay that way for long. Hamilton’s basic point is simple enough: “States, like individuals, who observe their engagements – “that is, pay their debts – “are respected and trusted.” But two of Hamilton’s ideas about how the United States should pay its debts are sure to be controversial.
Polls and economists call Hamilton’s rst idea Assumption. The U.S. government took on a load of debt during the Revolutionary War. So did each of the 13 states. Some states have paid their debts off; others – notably Massachusetts, lately the scene of Shays’ Rebellion – are still struggling. Hamilton wants the U.S. government to assume all the state debts, and pay them off along with the national debt, to avoid the “collision and confusion” of different repayment schemes.
Hamilton’s second idea is Non-Discrimination. The largest class of creditors is Revolutionary War soldiers and officers, who were paid in certificates, or IOU’s. (Military unhappiness with IOU’s nearly caused a mutiny at Newburgh in 1783.) Over the years, many vets sold their certificates at a discount, in return for ready cash. Should the government discriminate between brave soldiers who hung on to their IOU’s, and shrewd investors who snapped them up? Hamilton says no: fooling with the terms of repayment now would be a “breach of contract.”
Where will the U.S. government’s money come from? According to Sec. Hamilton, from tariffs and from an excise tax on distilled spirits. Investors have been guessing about Hamilton’s intentions for months. New York is buzzing with rumors of ships and coaches full of money, headed for the South and the frontier to buy up the certificates of veterans who are clueless about what is happening in the nation’s capital. Critics will surely latch on to such stories to attack Sec. Hamilton’s program. The man to watch: Rep. James Madison (Virginia) – Sec. Hamilton’s friend and ally during the ght to ratify the Constitution, but now said to be disturbed by both Assumption and NonDiscrimination. At the same time, Sec. Hamilton has powerful allies, none more powerful than his old boss, President George Washington.

Explanation: the Third Punic War (149–146 BC) was the third and last of the Punic Wars fought between Carthage and Rome. The war was fought entirely within Carthaginian territory, in modern northern Tunisia. When the Second Punic War ended in 201 BC, one of the terms of the peace treaty prohibited Carthage from waging war without Rome's permission. Rome's ally, King Masinissa of Numidia, exploited this to repeatedly raid and seize Carthaginian territory with impunity.
In 149 BC Carthage sent an army, under Hasdrubal, against Masinissa, the treaty notwithstanding. The campaign ended in disaster as the Battle of Oroscopa ended with a Carthaginian defeat and the surrender of the Carthaginian army. Anti-Carthaginian factions in Rome used the illicit military action as a pretext to prepare a punitive expedition.
Answer:
The Third Punic War (149–146 BC) was the third and final of Carthage and Rome's Punic Wars. The battle took place fully within Carthaginian territory, in modern-day northern Tunisia. When the Second Punic War ended in 201 BC, one of the provisions of the peace treaty forbade Carthage from fighting without the permission of Rome. This allowed Rome's ally, King Masinissa of Numidia, to raid and take Carthaginian land with impunity.
Despite the treaty, Carthage dispatched an army led by Hasdrubal against Masinissa in 149 BC. The campaign ended in tragedy with the Carthaginian loss and surrender of the Carthaginian army at the Battle of Oroscopa. Car skeptic
