A:Before it could fully recover, Lithuania was ravaged during the Great Northern War (1700–1721). The war, a plague, and a famine caused the deaths of approximately 40% of the country's population. Foreign powers, especially Russia, became dominant in the domestic politics of the Commonwealth. Numerous fractions among the nobility used the Golden Liberties to prevent any return to the autocracy of the recent past B:Given the historical context that surrounds them, would the Golden Liberties of 18th-century Lithuania be considered mostly synonymous with the civil liberties upon which American democracy is founded? Answer: minister

A:Six months before the 1988 Olympics, Louganis was diagnosed with HIV, and started antiretrovirals. At the time, people with HIV/AIDS faced great stigma often losing their jobs, being denied housing, and being ostracized. Years later, in 1995, Louganis came out publicly as HIV+. When he had injured his head at the 1988 Seoul Olympics and some blood got in the pool, Louganis said he was "paralyzed with fear" that someone might catch the virus, but nobody did. The incident posed no risk to others as any blood was fully diluted by the pool water, and according to John Ward, chief of HIV-AIDS surveillance at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "chlorine kills HIV". Since skin is an effective barrier to HIV, the only way the virus could enter would be through an open wound; "If the virus just touches the skin, it is unheard of for it to cause infection: the skin has no receptors to bind HIV," explained Anthony Fauci. B:Knowing that the Olympic villages have a long reputation of being hotbeds of sexual activity among young athletes, does this passage suggest that such escapades had tragic consequences for a few competitors in 1988?

B:Given what Louganis knew at the time of his injury and what he might have feared as a result of what happened, could you cynically make the case that the statute of limitations for any crime that he could possibly have been charged with would be less than 7 years?

B:Even though he was keeping his HIV-status secret at the time, would Louganis's fear of facing legal action if anyone could prove that they swam in the same water have just been paranoia on his part, as there were no potential cases?
