There is an inverse relationship between infant mortality rate and life expectancy - as infant mortality rate decreases, life expectancy tends to increase. This is because lower infant mortality indicates better overall health and access to healthcare in a population, which can lead to longer life expectancy. Improvements in infant survival rates often reflect improvements in overall healthcare and living conditions that benefit individuals at all stages of life.

Pencils were never made with lead, they have always been made with graphite. When pencils were first made it was beleived that graphite was a type of lead, but science has now proven graphite is a type of carbon, not lead.

Well, i didn't want to delete this person's answer, but it is wrong. In fact, lead was used in pencils for hundreds of years, but there was a major problem with using lead. These pencils would form lead oxide on the tips, making it difficult to write, so when people wanted to write, they would lick the lead of the pencil to get the lead oxide off. When people realized that this was dangerous because consuming lead (even in minute quantities) can cause brain damage, pencils began to be manufactured with graphite instead of lead. Coming back to your original question - I don't know when they switched to graphite, but I think that it was sometime in the first half of the 20th century.

There is really no way of knowing how many people have been infected with anthrax. Although the actual spore was identified in 1875, it is a quite ancient disease. It has been around long enough that it is believed to have been one of the 10 Egyptian plagues mentioned in the Old Testament of the Bible. It was also brought up during Greek mythology. Before the vaccination was developed in 1881, it was believed to have killed anywhere between hundreds to thousands of people and animals every single year. Now that number is down to a few dozen reported cases a year.

While New York City is the most populous city in the United States, Sitka, Alaska is the largest city in area. Sitka includes a whopping 2874 square miles of incorporated area. The city is larger than the state of Delaware! Officially known as the "City and Borough of Sitka," the city consolidated the City of Sitka Borough in 2000 to be the country's largest city. Sitka displaced Juneau, Alaska as the largest city upon the 2000 incorporation. Juneau is 2717 square miles and was formed through incorporation of the borough and city in 1970. Sitka is a perfect example of an "overbounded" city, which refers to a city that has boundaries that extend far beyond its developed area (certainly the glaciers and ice fields in the city won't be developed soon.)
