In every war of the United States since the Civil War the South was more belligerent than the rest of the country.

Thus, to cite but one example, the Pax Britannica of the nineteenth century, whether with the British navy ruling the seas or with the City of London ruling world finance, was strictly national in motivation, however much other nations ( e.g., the United States ) may have incidentally benefited.

National responsibility for individual welfare is a concept not limited to the United States or even to the Western nations.

( Since the time-span of the nation-state coincides roughly with the separate existence of the United States as an independent entity, it is perhaps natural for Americans to think of the nation as representative of the highest form of order, something permanent and unchanging.

In recent weeks, as a result of a sweeping defense policy reappraisal by the Kennedy Administration, basic United States strategy has been modified -- and large new sums allocated -- to meet the accidental-war danger and to reduce it as quickly as possible.

Its radar screens would register Soviet missiles shortly after they are launched against the United States.

In 1938, at the insistence of Arturo Toscanini, Steinberg left Germany for the United States, by way of Switzerland.

After he had spent the first three years in New York as associate conductor, at Toscanini's invitation, of the NBC Orchestra, he made numerous guest appearances throughout the United States and Latin America.

`` Then I return to the United States for engagements at the Hollywood Bowl and in Philadelphia '', he added.

The difference came down to this: The Southern States insisted that the United States was, in last analysis, what its name implied -- a Union of States.

`` we the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common Defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America ''.

The 140,414 Americans who gave `` the last full measure of devotion '' to prevent disunion, preserved individual freedom in the United States from the dangers of anarchy, inherent in confederations, which throughout history have proved fatal in the end to all associations composed primarily of sovereign states, and to the liberties of their people.

There one finds concentrated in a comparatively small area the chief universities, colleges, and preparatory schools of the United States.

The rise of the giant corporations in Western Europe and the United States dates from the period 1880-1900.

He says: `` beside the Protestant philosophy of Progress, as expressed in radical or conservative millenarianism, should be placed the doctrine of the democratic faith which affirmed it to be the duty of the destiny of the United States to assist in the creation of a better world by keeping lighted the beacon of democracy ''.

During the next five years liberal leaders in the United States sank in the cumulative confusion attendant upon and manifested in a negative policy of Containment -- and the bitterest irony -- enforced and enforceable only by threat of a weapon that we felt the greatest distaste for but could not abandon: the atom bomb.

And here again we hear the same refrain mentioned above: `` the paramount goal of the United States set long ago was to guard the rights of the individual, ensure his development, enlarge his opportunity ''.

`` I arrived in the United States with the idea of establishing myself there more or less permanently and finding inspiration for new compositions ''.

This is the good kind of sophistication, and with all our problems and crises this kind of sophistication has flowered in the United States during recent years.

but Wright stayed in the United States.

It is maintained by the United States government and is freely accessible to anyone with a GPS receiver.

Another important predecessor to GPS came from a different branch of the United States military.

GPS is owned and operated by the United States Government as a national resource.

In June 2004, in a signed agreement with the United States, the European Union agreed to switch to a modulation known as BOC ( 1, 1 ) ( Binary Offset Carrier 1. 1 ) allowing the coexistence of both GPS and Galileo, and the future combined use of both systems.

On May 2, 2000, SA was disabled by President of the United States Bill Clinton ; in late 2001 the entity managing the GPS confirmed that they did not intend to enable selective availability ever again.

* 2000 – President Bill Clinton announces that accurate GPS access would no longer be restricted to the United States military.

The OnStar service relies on CDMA mobile phone voice and data communication, primarily via Verizon Wireless in the United States and Bell Mobility in Canada, as well as location information using GPS technology.

The development of GPS by the United States in the 1980s allowed for precise navigation and positioning and soon became a standard tool in surveying.

In 2009 police in the United Kingdom began tracking the sources of lasers being shone at helicopters at night, logging the source using GPS, using thermal imaging cameras to see the suspect, and even the warm pointer if discarded, and calling in police dog teams.

However it was not until 2000 that the United States made a more accurate GPS signal available for civilian use.

Graduates of GPS attend diverse colleges every year, including Dartmouth College, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT ), Columbia University, New York University ( NYU ), United States Military Academy ( USMA ), Yale University, Savannah College of Art and Design ( SCAD ), Brandeis University, Johns Hopkins University, and Vanderbilt University, to name a few.

As of October 2011, only the United States NAVSTAR Global Positioning System ( GPS ) and the Russian GLONASS are fully globally operational GNSSs.

The United States ' Global Positioning System ( GPS ) consists of up to 32 medium Earth orbit satellites in six different orbital planes, with the exact number of satellites varying as older satellites are retired and replaced.

United States Magistrate Judge Charles Coody warned Scrushy that he " would not tolerate any future deviations from the requirements the court has placed on " him and ruled that Scrushy must wear a GPS tracking device anytime he travels outside of Alabama.

* The Global Positioning System ( GPS ) was developed under the United States Department of Defense for military navigational purposes.

The Interagency GPS Executive Board ( IGEB ) was an agency of the United States federal government that sought to integrate the needs and desires of various governmental agencies into formal Global Positioning System Planning.

DRDO officials further said: " The American satellites that run the GPS had been switched off on the day Barack Obama was sworn in as United States President.

Because of the requirement for wireless service providers in United States to supply more precise location information for 911 calls by September 11, 2012, more and more cell phones have built-in GPS chips.

The master clock in a clock network can receive accurate time in a number of ways: through the United States GPS satellite constellation, a Network Time Protocol server, the CDMA cellular phone network, a modem connection to a time source, or by listening to radio transmissions from WWV or WWVH, or a special signal from an upstream broadcast network.

In the United States, the FAA suspended the MLS program in 1994 in favor of the GPS ( Wide Area Augmentation System WAAS ).

In early 2012, with Dellinger representing the defendant in United States v. Antoine Jones, the US Supreme Court overruled the warrantless government use of a GPS device on Jones ' Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The GPS system was designed by and is controlled by the United States Department of Defense and can be used by anyone, free of charge.

Companies like Global Payment Solutions ( GPS ) have been leading the distribution of this value-transfer model in the United States.
