A complete blood count (CBC) measures many parts of your blood. The test checks the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in your blood. The CBC will show whether you have a low number of white blood cells. Lymphocytes account for 20 to 40 percent of all white blood cells.
Sinking of the Lusitania. On May 7, 1915, the German submarine (U-boat) U-20 torpedoed and sank the Lusitania, a swift-moving British cruise liner traveling from New York to Liverpool, England. Of the 1,959 men, women, and children on board, 1,195 perished, including 123 Americans. A headline in the New York Times the following dayâDivergent Views of the Sinking of The Lusitaniaâsums up the initial public response to the disaster.
The explosion ripped a hole on the port side of the ship, just past the bridge. The Lusitania began to sink at a fast rate, and a second explosion occurred on the ship, and their is still a debate about whether this was a second torpedo, or simply an explosion of coal, or any other fuel aboard the ship. The Lusitania lasted for approximately 18 minutes until it sank.
