Which martial arts is the most effective?

Here's the BIG question. And however I have another question in return to that one: what do you consider effective? Do you mean martially effective? or effective at clearing your mind or bringing inner peace? Martial Art = The art of war. What makes up a martial art: Percussion (striking), Projection (throwing), Immobilization (joint locks), and Armament (weaponry). Here are some examples of different systems:\n\nKarate: Okinawan. Covers Percussion. Civil Art. Kara- meaning open or empty depending on translation. -te originally meant Chinese Hand but they later changed it to just hand after the Chinese were driven out. Derived from White Crane Kung Fu. Believes in hardening the body against strikes and striking hard is the key.\n\nKung Fu: External Chinese. Most cover percussion, projection, and armament, with a few covering immobilization as well. Usually either martial or civil art. There are SO many systems within the term kung fu that it is hard to describe this system effectively. To say the least the best Kung Fu I have seen was in Dallas, and was translated to the Water-Fire Kung Fu.\n\nAikido / Aiki-jujutsu: Japanese. Covers immobilization with slight touch on projection. Civil Art. Was originally derived from Nihongo Jujutsu or Japanese Jujutsu (honestly I hate that I have to specify WHICH jujutsu compared to Brazilian or American… as if you would get an French taco or Russian sushi). Aikido has sadly become one of the snobbiest “styles” out there and they insist that what they do would work in real combat, although only about 10% of EVERYONE who is involved with that system knows what they’re doing. Though I will admit those that do, can do some beautiful Aiki.\n\nJudo: Japanese. Covers projection. Sport Art. Another derivative of Nihongo Jujutsu. A sport derived from the throwing system used in Japan’s combat. As with all sports, there are certain things that they threw out as “illegal moves” due to their effectiveness therefore making the “style” weaker.\n\nBrazilian: Japanese origin. Covers a portion of Immobilization and Projection. Martial Sport. This “style” was made famous by the Gracie family after they were originally taught by a Japanese man who refused to show them any more than the grappling section of Jujutsu. So they concentrated on the art of ground fighting. Most people that do Brazilian are extremely competitive and aggressive in nature.\n\nTaekwondo: Korean. Percussion. Sport Art. This is a primarily kicking “style” and is considered one of the most famous “styles” in use. Another system that is sport / competition based they rely heavily on flexible and fast legs. Originally a derivative from a certain school of Karate which name eludes me at this moment.\n\nKrav Maga: Israeli. Um… Percussion? Military wannabe. I REALLY don’t suggest this system unless you’re looking for a Billy Blanks on steroids kinda feel. This system was built to teach the foot soldiers of Israel a quick, brutal and less than effective hand-to-hand fighting method in a matter of a week, so seriously, don’t bother.\n\nThose Russian arts: Mainly knife junkies who think they know what they’re doing. More flashy than anything else, don’t fall for the hype.\n\nPilipino: Mostly Stick and knife, and they are not for the faint of heart, although not much art to the system, it seems those whom you can find who actually know what they’re doing are pretty good with a knife and stick but that’s it.\n\nMMA: Mixed martial arts. Probably the worst thing that has ever happened to martial arts besides Krav maga. The concept of mixing martial arts is taking a system that is inferior and mixing it with another inferior system to hopefully make up for the gaps left by the other one. For example: Karate doesn’t have Immobilization, so lets throw in Aikido and Brazilian, and those don’t have projection so lets throw in Judo, and all of those don’t have armament so lets throw in Pilipino. \n\nTh

is an appellate court considered a federal court?

There are both state and federal appellate courts.  The term appellate is not usually used in the federal system; they go by districts.\n\nThe state appellate court is where you go to appeal from a decision at the Superior Court, which is the basic county court of first jurisdiction for most cases.  Small cases may be handled in a municipal court, or even a small claims court.  \n\nA case is a state case or a federal case because of facts about the case from the beginning, not through an appeal process.  The exception is the United States Supreme Court, which is the court of final jurisdiction for all cases, state or federal.  (But they won't take a state case unless it has Constitutional aspects.  They don't have to take any case they don't want to.)\n\nDid I clear things up, or muddy the water further?

Your project is basic in its scope. What it is asking you for is to make a statement. For example, your premise is “All guys are dumb”!\n\nNow you must set up a study as to how you want to prove your statement. For example: You will conduct a study on asking males and females the same series of question. Further, you can ask all the males questions within their group as well to study how they react amongst themselves. \n\nThis study will provide you with results that you need to review and draw conclusions from. This is the details stage. \n\nIn every study there are variable that need to be considered. Some are controllable some are not. Those that are, you need to identify and control them in a common way amongst all the population of your groups. Those that are not, you need to identify and draw conclusion as to how they will change any of your results if at all. This is your control stage.

The concept of someone dying for our sins goes against all the principles that God has laid on earth for us.  It throws the idea of accountability out the window.  If he truly died for our sins, then there shouldn't be anymore sin.  But the fact is, the world is more corrupt now than ever before.\n\nAlso, after he supposedly died on the cross, he allegedly rose from the dead.  Doesn't that nullify his death and thus nullify the sacrifice??  He's no longer dead, so my sins are no longer washed (that's assuming the concept hold to begin with).\n\nIt doesn't add up.  One day we will all face God and we will be held accountable for every little deed, good or bad.  God will ask Jesus whether he instructed people to worship him, and Jesus will say 'no'.\n\nAnd God only knows best.

The Argument from Non-Belief: What do you think?

The principal flaw I found is in premise 1, and because of that, it actually invalidates the balance. The proper premise would be written:\n\n1) If the Christian God exists, He wants ALL humans to SEEK to know him.\n\nThe corrected structure of premise 1 is because the limitations of our terrestrial existence prevent us from having the ability to know Him (Biblical concept-a finite mind of finite understanding cannot grasp the infinite).\n\nThis, in turn, would change the balance as follows:\n\n2) If God exists (with omnipotence and omnipresence), He has provided sufficient evidence to cause mankind to seek after Him (Evidenced in the fact that there is ever any discussion anywhere about a Higher Being)\n\n3) Not ALL humans will choose to believe He exists.\n\nStatements 4 & 5 become irrelevant, based on the fact that men will choose to believe what they believe.  The flaw in most dicussions of this nature is that they begin with non-belief of possibility.  Most people who maintain a position of atheism or anti-theism refuse to accept a premise that there is something or someone they cannot know, and the logic that follows that premise is that they consider themselves to be the higher or highest being.

Why does the US continue to support Israel?

Consider foremost the common values that bind the US with the Middle East's only democracy, then the strategic value to the US of a strong Israel.\n\nAmerican aid to Israel was minimal until after the Six Day War, and only took off after Israel saved US ally Jordan from a PLO-Syrian invasion in 1970. The 1979 Camp David Accords, which secured peace between Israel and Egypt, mandated increased aid to Israel to compensate in part for Israel's return of the Sinai and the resulting loss of strategic depth, air bases, training grounds and oil fields. Israel's prescient destruction of Iraq's nuclear program in 1981 stopped Saddam Hussein from having nuclear weapons when he invaded Kuwait nine years later - nuclear weapons he could have used against US troops during the the first Gulf War.

Soddy is an eroded lunar impact crater that lies to the south-southeast of the prominent King crater. Material from the ray system surrounding King covers the sides and interior of Soddy crater. Less than a crater diameter to the west of Soddy is the smaller Heron crater.\n\nThis crater has been heavily worn and eroded, so that only a remnant of a crater depression survives. There are small craterlets along the rim edge to the southwest and southeast. The interior is uneven and almost indistinguishable from the surrounding terrain.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soddy_%28crater%29

Unless you are a prodigy and I am guessing by your spelling you are not, most publishing houses will not do this for free. And most won't publish unless you have an agent, and most agents won't take you unless you have been published (a biatch isn't it?) I have listed a company below that will aid you in publishing your works with out sponsorship from a major publishing company. It will cost you, but it guarantees publication and some distribution opportunities (such as Barnes & Noble, Walden Books, and some websites that just sell books).  If they are just short stories, send them into magazines, sometimes they will pay you for your stories. A word of advice, practice your grammar and spelling technics, it costs extra to have your manuscripts proofread. Good luck!


Are there any good credit restoration companies or lawyers?

most of them are scams.  but if you have a relative (spouse or parent) with good credit, you can have them co-sign a small loan (try to get a credit card at the local bank with a low credit limit - about $500 to start).  When you show responsibility in paying that, you can rebuild your credit that way


How does alternative energy affect our envoronment?

Hydroelectric dams flood large areas of wildernness destroying it. If the area flooded is famrland that area needs to be replaced byt cutting down forests someehwre else. The cold water they trap kills fish. The dam itself prevents fish migration. The sediment trapped behind the dam is a major source of nethane, a potent greenhouse gas.\n\nWind farms kill birds that gt struck by the blades. Hundreds of thousands of birds each year. Wind farms are also a major source of visual pollution and noise pollution.\n\nThe growing of crops for ethanol or biodiesel production requires more petroleum than is rpelaced by the end product. That leads to increased pollution generaly and greatly increased greenhouse gas production.\n\nGrowing crops for biodiesl or ethnaol production requires us to cut down rainforests to produce the farmland. The production of those crops also requires irrigation, which disrputs the flow rates of rivers. It requires the use of synthetic fertilsiers which flow into rivers and oceans, killing coral reefs and causing toxic algal blooms. It reuires the use of pertsicides, with all the npormal environmental problems that causes.\n\nThe environmental effect of most alternative energy sources are negative.

What event in your life would you like to erase from your past, and why?


how can we apply telling, shoing, and doing in teaching?

As Yielding has said, "Do you mind if I finish my sandwich first?" and...that's how I feel because your question is so comprehensive. There's so much to say.\n\nIn a nutshell, it means to offer an opportunity for your students to, within virtually every lesson you present, to see the concept given in different ways - thereby ensuring that you are meeting the needs of most of the learning styles represented in the class. So, as you explain how distinguish between the subject and predicate in a sentence, for example, you would possibly:\n\n1. Explain the process, using an overhead projector and showing samples as you tell them how to find subjects and predicates.\n2. Demonstrate in writing on the white board.\n3. Ask your students to try it on the white board.\n4. Using sentence strips, have them get out of their seats and come up and play a challenge game where they have to divide a sentence (made of students holding sentence strips) between the subjects and predicates.\n5. Have them draw comic strips and write the script (in the bubbles) using different colors to dilineate between subjects and predicates.\n6. Have them design a student worksheet to share with the class where they have to find the subjects and predicates in each others' sentences.\n\nThis is just one example of a week's worth of lessons that might be used to teach one concept...you would adapt your ideas for the lessons you need to teach, of course.

I think the better question is what's to like about her?  I don't get it.  I heard some far-right pundits getting giddy with joy at the revelation that she's not very popular, not even with liberals and democrats.  Of course, it was the idiot pundits on the right who ever thought anyone on the left liked her to begin with.  I live and work in the uber-liberal SF Bay/Berkeley area, and I don't know anyone who cares for her.  'Pubs kept themselves amused during the Clinton years by proposing that she ran the whole deal, and that she was the left's darling, and all the while, the left seemed incredibly silent about her.  I don't care about her, other than that I think she's an opportunistic snake, but who actually makes it to the Capitol without that being true for them?  \n\nPolitically, we're entirely at odds, but again, I don;t see how that makes her any different than anyone else in the Capitol.  The simple truth is that she is a shadow-puppet that the right-wing pundits have been playing with: build her up to be a heavyweight, so that whne she chokes in the ring, they can call it a complete failure for the left, who never showed much attention to her to begin with (except, perhaps, in New York).


Ok I need to know information about Ann Coulter. What can you tell me about her?

"Ann Hart Coulter (born December 8, 1961) is an American syndicated columnist, bestselling author, and television pundit. Her commentary has earned her a reputation as a strong critic of social and political liberalism. Her speaking and writing style is provocative and aggressive, with heavy use of sarcasm and hyperbole.\n\nCoulter is the author of four political commentary books, all of which have been on the New York Times bestseller list.\n\nCoulter is a legal correspondent for the magazine Human Events. Her syndicated column for Universal Press Syndicate is carried by or linked to by many influential conservative websites, including Frontpagemag.com and Townhall.com. Coulter was the subject of a TIME magazine cover story in April 2005, and has made frequent guest appearances on national television and syndicated radio programs. She has appeared on a large number of topical talk shows, including Hannity and Colmes, The O'Reilly Factor, American Morning with Paula Zahn, Crossfire, The Today Show, Real Time and Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher, and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Coulter has also appeared in FahrenHYPE 9/11, a rebuttal of Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11.\n\nAnn Coulter was born in New York City into a Catholic family that she has described as "upper middle class". She was born on December 8, 1961 according to the New Canaan voting registration office, although she sometimes states that the year is 1963. She attributes her conservative opinions and her acerbic rhetorical style to her upbringing in Connecticut. She has two elder brothers. Her father, John V. Coulter, was a lawyer, known for his legal work in cases against labor unions; he later became a constable. Her mother, Nell M. Coulter, is a member of the New Canaan Republican Town Committee..."

What is the formula for SD in quality Control for the Levey Jenning's chart?

Don't know Levey Jennings, but in general the variance is the sum of the squared deviations from the mean divided by the number of samples (for large data sets) or the number of samples minus 1 (for smaller data sets).  The standard deviation (SD) is then the square root of the variance.\n\nSo, if "m" is the mean and each sample is x1..n, the variance is:\n\n[(m-x1)^2 + (m-x2)^2 + (m-x3)^2 ... (m-xn)^2]/n\n\nThen, take the square root of the variance to get the standard deviation.


Totally against it. Where does one stop in the changing of the meaning of marriage. If gays can have the right to marry, why not brothers and sisters? Why not be able to have two wives? Four wives? Why not be able to marry a 7 year old? Why not be able to marry a dead person? Why not an animal? Where does it stop once you begin the trek down that slippery slope?\n\nMarriage is a sacred rite derived from religion. I know you liberal secularists hate to hear that, but it is true. Most religions define marriage as the union between one man and one woman.\n\nJust one man's opinion.

if it is twice as cold in city A as it is in city B, and the temp in city B is 0 F, what is temp in city A?

We can't do this in Fahrenheit.  If we multiply 0 * 2 we get 0...let's convert it to Celsius.\n0F is -17.8 Celsius.\nSo we know city B is -17.8 C.\nSince it is twice as cold in city A, 2*-17.8 gives us -35.6 C for city A.\nConverting -35.6 C to Fahrenheit gives us -32.08.\n\nHope that helps.

This is a limiting reagent problem. You must calculate the moles of NH3 produces from the given amount of grams of N2 and H2.\n\n3.00g N2 x 1mol/28.02g x 2 mol NH3/1 mol N2 = .214 mol NH3\n\n.54g H2 x 1 mol/2.02g H2 x 2 mol NH3/3 mol H2 = .178 mol NH3\n\nFrom this calculation you now know that the H2 is the limiting reagent. The next part to calculate the grams of NH3 goes like this:\n\n.178 mol NH3 x 17.04g/1 mol = 3.03 g NH3

There are three stages to oil formation. The first is called diagenesis. This stage involves the biological, chemical, and physical alteration of organic material before heating begins to affect it. \n\nThe second state is the thermal alteration you are referring to, known as catagenesis. This stage generally takes place between 50-200 degrees C (122-392 F). \n\nThe third stage is called metagenesis, and is high temperature alteration. It is also known as the gas window. It ranges above 200 degrees C. \n\nThe temperature required to alter organic material is produced by gradual burial and the geothermal gradient for the area of burial. As heat comes from the earth's mantle it warms the crust. Areas with thin crust have high heat gradients, while areas with thick crustal material have a slower geothermal gradient. \n\nThe oil window is often referred to as the period of time during which it is believed that a source rock was buried deep enough to cause catagenesis. The burial history is studied using several methods (including vitrinite reflectance values and bottom-hole temperature measurements) and this gives petroleum geologists some idea when oil might have formed in a particular basin. Combining this with understanding of what structural or stratigraphic changes have taken place, a prediction is made of where the oil might have migrated to, away from its source rock.\n\nBy the way, since this might very well be the only answer you get to this question, I would appreciate it if you would close it out when you are satisfied that no one else is going to answer. Thanks.\n\nReference: Hunt, John M. , 1996, Petroleum Geochemistry and Geology, WH Freeman & Co: New York, 743 pp.   (probably the best reference book on the topic)


who's version of  "man who sold the world" do you prefer, david bowie or nirvana? why?

Bowie's version is more authentic and sincere; Kurt's performance is more an afterthought.  In fact let me recommend the entire MwStW album, which includes Bowie's most ferocious heavy metal number "The Width of a Circle," the Cream-like raveup "She Shook Me Cold," a pathos-drenched meditation on insanity "All the Madmen," and a general aura of the fantastic from light to heavy.


What is Torrents files and how can I use it?

BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file sharing protocol.  Torrent files are the small files that are used to coordinate the download of a shared file.

There a lot of clients out there and I've included a link to a list.

Yes, if you qualify. Call your nearest VA office.


My answer, no. And as a matter of fact, I find that homosexuals happen to be the most enjoyable, honest, compassionate "group" of people I have met. "What harm is their choice, doing to your life", is my response to homophobes.\n\nBUT ... Boy is this going to set a few people on their ears if the findings are true !!\n\n( released today - 2/24/06)\n"The arrangement of a mother's genes could affect the sexual orientation of her son, according to a new study."\n\n"The finding, detailed in the February issue of the journal Human Genetics, adds fuel to the decade-long debate about whether so-called "gay genes" might exist."\n\nhttp://www.livescience.com/humanbiology/060224_gay_genes.html\n\nMakes one wonder if this finding is confirmed, if the pro-lifers will allow abortions for these "misfits & sinners". After all, God created our genes, didn't he ?? *ahem*

Does pain in ribs mean there is something wrong?

You should contact a doctor. Your ribs can hurt for a variety of reasons but from what your describing with the pain in breathing it sounds like it's your lungs. Don't freak out, with these cough and cold symptoms its probably not too big a deal.If you let it go though you might end up with pneumonia and if that sits to long you end up with pluracy, which hurts your ribs more then you would like to find out. So don't bug but see a doctor soon.

what is meant by a 'DIORAMA'?my sister got a project to do a shoebox diorama model of something.?

The other posters have all given good answers.  Think about scenes you see set up in a museum - they are large scale dioramas - your sister's will be a small scale version.  \n\nYou might want to paint the inside of the shoe box or line it with a fabric that will be a good one for the project title.  My kids used pictures cut out of magazines glued on popsicle sticks if they needed to stand up, plasticene, bits of stick, grass, stones, leaves, miniature figures and furniture, etc. (depending on the topic) from the dollar stores, play dough shapes, aluminum foil to represent rivers sometimes, artificial snow spray, anything that would add to the appearance. \n\nPlanning is important - you might want to have two shoe boxes in case you need to start over.  But overall it is an easy and fun project, and painting the inside of the box with a simple scene goes a long way toward creating a good diorama.\n\nI hope this helps.

Where can I find a good low-powered handgun?

yes, when I purchase a handgun for concealed carry I always ask myself, "I know it's not reliable or powerful, but does it at least look like it belongs in an adventure movie?"\n\nThat said, Kel-Tec just introduced a 9mm version of their popular concealable handgun line. Called the PF-9, it weighs 12.7 ounces unloaded and holds 8 rounds of 9mm ammo. Definitely worth checking out.

what are some of the best law schools to attend for undergraduate and graduate?


Yes, there are many people who love Bush and think all of his stumbles and gaffes were made up by the media.  These are the same people who think that if you criticize the president, you are somehow giving comfort to "the enemy" and are a traitor.  They say they believe in America and the flag, but they would stifle freedom of speech in the name of patriotism.  They scare me because if there are enough of them, they can destroy America and all that it stands for.


is it true about when a person it's drunk they'll say the truth????? Especially when it's a drunk guy?????

I used to hear that  drunk people speak the truth...and then I had to deal with a parent who sadly struggled with alcoholism (and has since conquered) for many years, and I can say that it's difficult for a person to even speak coherently when drunk, much less speak the "truth". And, since I have unfortunately been drunk on a few occasions in my life, I can say that when drunk, it feels like having the flu. Speaking eloquently is not easily done when lying on a cold bathroom floor, hanging onto a toilet. Drinking a bit with a very trusted friend "on occasion" can indeed be fun, just as having the freedom to open your heart and soul to a much-loved friend can be almost a spiritual experience. The selection and appreciation of fine wines and liquors can be an art and one of the more enjoyable pleasures in our earthly lives...it enhances fine food and can make a dining experience even more memorable. But drunkenness is most miserable, indeed. For everyone. \n\nI feel I've already answered the question, but just to be perfectly clear: Being drunk does not enhance the communication of truth. To be truthful requires a clear head. It is my experience that being drunk can make a person quite cruel, emotionally or physically abusive, and downright ugly. It can distort a person's appearance as well as their thinking. It's a destructive force upon a person's physical, mental, spiritual and emotional health and can destroy the best of families.\n\nAs far as the gender of the person in question, that is a ludicrous statement and another example of a sad generalization....of which there are many.

Counts vary, as do references to US veterans only or world wide.\n\nAccording to Wikipedia, which I have no reason to believe is authoritative on this matter, there are 82.\n"World Totals - 82 veterans\n    * Allies (including Italy): 64\n    * Central Powers: 18"\n\nFAQ Farm has multiple contributions (from different people, such as here on Yahoo) and one contribution claims none, but give no background as to whether worldwide or country specific. (2)\n\nWhatever the number, whether 82 or anything greater than 0, it is steadily diminishing. Assuming that it was possible to lie to get into the military at 14 years old and that WW I, "The Great War," ended in 1918, then the youngest veteran would have to be 102 years old. The probability is that any living survivors are older than that and that death is immanent.


The human body, which is made up of between 55 and 75 percent water (lean people have more water in their bodies because muscle holds more water than fat), is in need of constant water replenishment.\n\nConsider this: Your lungs expel between two and four cups of water each day through normal breathing - even more on a cold day. If your feet sweat, there goes another cup of water. If you make half a dozen trips to the bathroom during the day, that's six cups of water. If you perspire, you expel about two cups of water (which doesn’t include exercise-induced perspiration).\n\nIn addition to water and other drinks, many foods are also good sources of water. Juicy fruits like oranges, grapefruit, grapes, watermelon and apples can help keep you healthy and hydrated. Carrots, tomatoes, tuna, yogurt, cottage cheese, soups, rice and pasta also contain plenty of water.\n\nthe most important thing is keeping your body hydrated since your body has to have water to survive, you can only go without ANY WATER SOURCE for 3 days before death. water helps remove toxins from your body. hope this helps. just remember drinking water is not the ONLY way you keep your body hydrate but it is important

Is Yahoo Answers running slow tonight for any of you?

Seems good to me, too.\n\nNetwork performance can be affected by all sorts of factors, up to and including the phase of the moon (:-).  If I notice a web site slowing down, I try some other web site to see if the problem is just with one particular site.  CNN.com is a good site to check, because they're NEVER slow.  If CNN.com *appears* slow, then either you have a problem, or there's something seriously wrong with Internet.\n\nRemember that Yahoo! Answers is still in beta -- strange things will be happening for a while.


What system of the body is attacked by the pathogen, HIV?

In electricity, what does floating ground mean?

I believe that a "floating ground" is used on large seagoing ships (pun intended!).  Seriously, the floating ground avoids using the ship's structure including the hull from carrying large electrical currents that may promote corrosion.  Often sacrificial zinc plates are also placed on the hull to avoid galvanic corrosion, especially because the properrers are bronze and the hull is steel.  With a floating ground system, electric supply cables must also include sufficient ground wires to permit current to flow between the ship's generators and all loads and back to the generators.  The frames of machines and electronic devices must also use the floating ground system to avoid shocks to the crew.

4.Let’s say I hand you 2 mineral samples, and tell you that one is pyrite and the other is magnetite.?

A. Pyrite and magnetite are both from the same crystal system. That means they form crystals in a similar shape or pattern. They are both from the isometric system. They will both be blocky crystals but may not be exactly the same. Perfect pyrite crystals are cube shaped or diploidal (see:http://webmineral.com/data/Pyrite.shtml), and magnetite is an octahedron (see: http://webmineral.com/data/Magnetite.shtml).\n\nHardness of magnetite is 5 1/2-6 on Mohs scale and pyrite is 6- 6 1/2.  \n\nBoth have conchoidal fracture. (Quartz has conchoidal fracture in case you need to picture this)\n\nBoth have a similar density. Pyrite has a density of 4.8-5 g/cc and magnetite has a density of 4.95 gm/cc.\n\nBoth have a metallic luster. \n\nB. The best way to distinguish between them is to use a streak test. Magnetite will be grayish-black and pyrite will be greenish-black.\n\nThe other major difference is that magnetite will be naturally magnetic, and pyrite will not be. \n\n\nThe lesson here is to learn think of your different properties as sort of a tool kit. Decide which properties are useful and which ones will not be useful for the particular samples you are testing. Be sure to be familiar with all of the properties you can use. A list would be:\na. cleavage\nb. color (one of the least reliable)\nc. density\nd. luster\ne. fracture\nf. crystal habit (can be confusing because some minerals have several possible)\ng. hardness (know the hardness of common tests like a penny, a knife, a quartz crystal, glass, etc.)\nh. streak\ni. magnetism\nj. taste (best test for Halite or sylvite)\nk. There are lots more that involve using thin sections in a microscope, and X-ray diffractometer, etc.

what's the best way to have six pack abs?

There are two secrets to getting a six-pack.  The first is doing abdominal exercises ... and doing them the right way.  You need to incorporate exercises for the upper and lower abs, and also the obliques.  Also make sure you are doing the exercises correctly.  90% of the people I see in the gyms are working their hip flexors instead of their abs.\n\nThe second part is diet.  You have to lower your bodyfat percentage into the single digits so that your abs will show up.  IF you don't have a low body fat percentage, thenit doesn't matter how much muscle you have in your abs, cause they ain't gonna show up!


There’s the kind that comes out the upper body and the lower body and then again there’s the kinda for cars


How to Catholics and Prodestants differ in their view of Jesus Christ?

I'll tell you my bias from the beginning. I am a protestant. I do, however, consider Catholics to be my brothers and sisters in Christ. Both Catholics and Protestants believe that Jesus is the Messiah that was promised to the Jews. We both believe that He was born of a virgin, died for our sins, and rose from the dead. The Catholic New Testament and the Protestant New Testament are the same. The main difference between Catholics and Protestants today is the value given to tradition. The Catholics seem to value tradition as highly as I value Scripture. I have also heard some people argue convincingly that the Catholic view of pennance and purgatory deny the finished work of Jesus on the cross. While I disagree with some Catholic doctrines, I still believe them to be Christians.

Schizophrenia is characterised by distortions of thinking and perception and is usually accompanied by emotions that are inappropriate or blunted. Typically there is a disturbance of the most basic functions that give a person the feeling of individuality, uniqueness and self-direction. For example, an individual may believe that intimate thoughts are known by others or that supernatural forces are influencing his or her actions in ways that are often bizarre. Additionally, the individual may lack insight and may not appreciate that there is anything wrong with his or her mental state.\nSchizoaffective disorder is characterised by the presence of affective (depressive or manic) symptoms and schizophrenic symptoms within the same, uninterrupted episode of illness.\n\nThe schizophrenic disorders section of the site features a range of information on schizophrenia, acute and transient psychotic disorders and schizoaffective disorders. Each condition is divided into a number of subsections which can be reached by using the left-hand menu on each page.

Different angles are seen :Da Vinci is being accused of being gay; Monalisa represents the Yin and Yang; the painting is actually the self-portrait of the painter. However, there have been speculations that Monalisa is indeed Monalisa, a lady from one of the upper classes during the Rennaissance period. Well, I better get my facts straight. Be getting some links to prove. Hold on peeps! =)))

By law am I entitled to overtime if I'm part time?

it all depends on the labor laws in the state which you live. By federal law all companies have to post in a public place in the office the Labor Laws for the state which you live. See if you can find it, it is the one that tell of the "minimum wage" for your state. You can do a google search for the "Division of Labor" in your state and call them to answer your question. One thing is for sure, you should be getting straight time, or comp.time for the hours over 40.  Good luck


what is the diffenerce between karate and tae kwon do?

The two most common martial arts practiced in North America are karate and tae kwon do. Many wonder what the difference between these two martial arts is. This is especially the case for those who are just starting to look around for a martial arts studio. After all, most practitioners in both karate and tae kwon do seem to wear the same type of white gi uniforms with various colored belts.\n\nModern traditional karate was developed in the islands of Okinawa in Japan after some influences from Chinese martial arts. There are actually different styles of karate but they are all commonly considered as Japanese martial arts today. The colored belt system was developed to show the various ranks of karate practitioners with white depicting novices and black belts (with various degrees) representing instructor levels and higher. There is a whole range of other different colors in between. Modern tae kwon do was developed in Korea after much influence from Japanese karate during the occupation by Japan. Indeed, tae kwon do is sometimes referred to as Korean karate. The Koreans adopted similar white uniforms along with a colored belt ranking system for tae kwon do. Today, there are two main styles of tae kwon do, one under the International Tae Kwon Do Federation and the other under the World Tae Kwon Do Federation. Many tae kwon do schools have added a black lining to their white uniforms for black belt levels. A V-neck top is often seen in schools affiliated with the World Tae Kwon Do Federation. There are also older Korean styles including tang soo do and moo duk kwan. Some of the more Americanized karate and tae kwon do schools also use uniforms with other colors such as red, black and blue in addition to the traditional white.\n\nIt can be generalized that in karate, one would use their arms or hands for 60% of the time for strikes or blocks while the use of legs for kicking will be about 40%. This breakdown is seen in the many forms or katas of karate which are set routines which simulate fighting against imaginary opponents using martial arts techniques. The forms from tae kwon do would have the opposite percentage breakdown with 40% hands and 60% legs. In tae kwon do, there is also more emphasis on higher kicks to the head level than in karate. Tae kwon do practitioners also utilize more jumping or flying kicks where one is airborne while executing kicking techniques. The tae kwon do forms or patterns are generally a bit shorter and less complex than the karate forms. Some tae kwon do schools have been known to use the odd karate form in its curriculum as well.\n\nIn North America as well as other parts of the world, there are separate traditional competitions for karate and tae kwon do. However, the open martial arts tournaments in North America often have competitors from both karate and tae kwon do competing together. Some of the larger open martial arts competition events will have separate forms divisions for Japanese karate and Korean tae kwon do competitors but the fighting or sparring divisions will usually be combined. Many black belts in tae kwon do end up studying karate as well and the opposite has been true too. Tae kwon do has received more publicity in recent years since its introduction as an Olympic sport. The style and rules used for the Olympic version of tae kwon do fighting comes from the World Tae Kwon Do Federation (WTF). Both karate and tae kwon do are considered as hard style martial arts in North America today (as opposed to soft styles such as the many versions of Chinese kung fu).\n\nClint Leung is a lifelong martial artist with over 32 years of training experience in kung fu, tae kwon do, karate, kickboxing and martial arts weaponry. He has won Canadian and world championship titles (NASKA, NBL and WSKF). He is also owner of Free Spirit Activewear (http://www.FreeSpiritActivewear.com) , an online retailer and designer of premium martial arts activewear. Free Spirit Activewear has martial arts info

Antivirus software on multiple computers?

Well, I'm sorry to hear that you paid for McAfee because you should have just used AVG Free.  Now, if this is a home environment (or non-profit organization) then you could just put AVG Free, http://free.grisoift.com/ on the laptop and you won't have to buy anything.  However, if this is some type of business (home or otherwise) then you will need to purchase one of the other AVG versions (if not then you can use the Free version).\n\nThe best way to clean your computer is to use CCleaner, http://www.ccleaner.com/ which will remove junk files and clean out the cookies and temporary internet files.  It does a better job than the Windows disk cleaner.  It also has a scanner to remove old registry entries as well (a must if you have installed/uninstalled a lot of programs).

Werecrow answered the question correctly. I would like to add that "Betsy Ross" creating the U.S. flag is largely considered to be fiction. If you look at pictures of early U.S. flags you can see how U.S. Revolutionary flag designers borrowed the colors from the Union Jack, the British flag.

what does the career volcanologist have to do with chemistry??

Volcanology (also spelled vulcanology) is the study of volcanos, lava, magma and related geological phenomena. A volcanologist (also spelled vulcanologist) is a person who studies in this field.\n\nVolcanologists frequently visit volcanoes, especially active ones, to observe volcanic eruptions, collect eruptive products including tephra, rock and lava samples. One major focus of enquiry is the prediction of eruptions; there is currently no accurate way to do this,but predicting eruptions,like predicting earthquakes,could save a lot of lives. You would have to be knowledgeable in chemistery in order to become a volcanologist.

Yes, it's a dynasty.

how to become a volunteer the beijin olympic 2008?

The Beijing Games are planning on beginning to recruit volunteers in August of this year and information should be made available on the below website, which is the volunteer section of the Beijing Games website.\n\nExpect that there will be many strings attached, with priority going to those who already have housing in the vicinity of the sites for the games (which is the same as was done for Turin (Torino)). There will probably also be a minimal cost involved for uniforms and such, but the biggest cost will be securing housing, as there are currently no plans for a volunteer village ... meaning you're on your own. Speaking multiple languages (Mandarin Chinese would be a BIG plus), is also a key.\n\nGood luck though, because if you get picked it will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Is there already a cure for Cancer and AIDS but they don't want us to know about it?

I don't know about cancer but I definitely believe there is a cure for AIDS and only the ridiculously rich have access to it. Let's take Magic Johnson for example, he announced over 10 years ago that he was diagnosed with AIDS. He, a few years later, announced that he was "cured" and we've heard nothing about it since. If you see him now, he has not lost any weight...as a matter of fact, he's GAINED weight. Who gains weight with AIDS?? AIDS is not like the common cold...it doesn't go away. You're not magically cured (no pun intended) of this disease. It really angers me that the government would allow millions to die for greed.

where can i go to find the title of a song when i only know partial lyrics?


For native English speakers... should I use "A" or "AN"?

The correct usage in this case would be "an". The way to decide is by the sound of the work you are placing "a" or "an" in front of.  If the sound is vowel like (a,e,i,o, or u) you use "an".  If the sound is consonent like (the rest of the alphabet pretty much), you use "a".  So you would say "an hour" but "a historian"  Hope this helps.

Here's a great article from wikipedia: \nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microprocessor


Lithographic Platemaking in Printing Technology:Yesterday,Today & Tomorrow.?

What I usally see with Technology is although we do take a step foward we usally take a step back too. You lose some of the "Quick fixes" that you were used to, but using DTP (Direct to Plate) technology definatly has it's advantages.\nMuch quicker, less manpower, cheaper, better quaility to name a few... but if that machine goes down your shop is at a standstill! Also if you need to make a change on the printed product, it sometimes can take longer with DTP then just making a piece of film and stripping it in. DTP is here to stay, for now anyways... as for the future? No idea.

Though it's not been scientifcally reseached enough, a person exposed to HIV will usually develop a 2-3 day "conversion flu", symptoms seem similar to nausea, food poisoning or fever.  It's when the viral load can achieve its highest hold in the body before the immune system has a chance to kick in,

What is the best polish for a crucifix? Does it need to be blessed?

Treat it as a symbol, not an idol. Hang it on the wall and keep the dust off of it. Worship God, not his cross. You don't have any power to bless. You have the power to prey to God that it will be blessed. But think, Should we prey for the cross or for all the people in the world. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to worship the cross or bow down to Mary.


Why is there an ozone hole near/at the South Pole?

This answer can be simple, or it can be more complicated.\n\nThe simple answer is that during the polar winters (both the North AND the South Poles, actually although it is worse at the South Pole because it is colder there), there is not enough sunlight to make ozone, so stratospheric ozone decreases naturally. \n\nThe chemical reactions that do this are called the Chapman reactions:\n\nO2 + hv -> O + O(1)\nO + O2 -> O3 (2)\n\nO is monoatomic oxygen, O2 is the oxygen molecule and O3 is ozone. The term hv is the energy from ultraviolet rays from sunlight. (1/v = wavelength < ~ 240 nm \n\nAlthough the UV radiation splits the ozone molecule, ozone can reform through the following reactions resulting in no net loss of ozone: \n\nO3 + hv -> O2 + O (3)\nO + O2 -> O3 (2) as above\n\nOzone is also destroyed by the following reaction: \nO + O3-> O2 + O2 (4)\n\nOne would expect ozone to decrease when there was no sunlight from (4).  \n\nHowever, we have observed that even more ozone than these Chapman reactions would predict was being lost during the polar winters. And this is probably because of a reaction involve a man-made chemical, CFCs or chlorinated fluorocarbons, which are not being phased out by international agreement. This process works best when it is very cold and there is no sunlight. \n\nThere are much more sophisticated explanations. Here is a more complicated explanation I wrote:\n\nThe conditions that create regions of depleted ozone are enhanced during the winter months, when there are much lower temperatures. However, the conditions for ozone depletion peak in the springtime, at the end of the winter. This is somewhat unfortunate, because at that time the ozone holes then break up, and neighboring areas are subjected to a decrease in ozone protection at a time when ultraviolet radiation is greater, in the late spring and early summer. \n\nThe reaction that depletes ozone is apparently greatest on the surface of what some had thought were ice crystals in the stratosphere that form during the winter months. However , recent theories are that in fact these are not ice crystals, but crystals of nitric acid trihydrate ("NAT"), HNO3.3(H2O). Antarctica is much colder than the arctic, because it is not only a large land mass but also is the continent with the greatest average elevation, both contributing to the severity of its winter weather. This creates much colder temperatures in the entire air column, including the stratosphere (temperatures approach -80C, or -112 F), so there are more frozen NAT crystals and more ozone depletion.\n\nIt is also interesting that the reaction that destroys the ozone needs ultraviolet radiation to proceed, and this goes on during the time of the year when there is minimal sun. However, it should be noted that this peaks during the spring when the sun is returning, and the process occurs high in the stratosphere, so more light is present than it is at ground level, especially better refracted wavelengths like those in the ultraviolet region.

i just curious to know what is 0% interest payment?

There really are no calculations because they are not charging you ANY interest at all (probably for a certain amount of time only, right?) You will only be paying the Principle during that time, which means you are making a payment that actually reduces the total cost by the exact amount you pay.  WHen interest begins accruing, then each payment you make will be partially going to the product cost (prinicple) and partially to the interest cost (the creditor's profit for lending the money).  There is no better interest rate than 0%.  So, good going!

Singing through your nose does not mean it will sound like your nose is plugged.  When people sing through their nose, they are simply trying to sound like someone (or something) they are not.  Instead of singing the sound that comes naturally out of their vocal chords, they are trying to create a sound by closing up the chords and pushing the sound out through their nose.  If you just sing naturally and normally, then you will not be singing out of your nose.

i just heard that mailmen dont really show up when theres a blizzard and things like that. is this true?

Doesn't really matter anyway because the blizzard's on a Sunday. My parents probably just won't get their paper. The mailman's usually late in most storms we've had in the northeast but he's never not come. I hate it when he's late. I want my college acceptance letters! And that time my mailman was drunk...BUT I don't think I should go into it!\n\nNope, never thought we "verbally attacked" each other either. & thanks. I hope the mailman shows up with some on Monday.


Add 4 1/4 to both sides.\n\n5 1/2 n = 12 1/4 + 4 1/4\n5 1/2 n = 16 1/2\n\nDivide both sides by 5 1/2\n\nn = (16 1/2)/(5 1/2) = 3\n\nYou also could have said 5 1/2 = 11/2, then multiplied both sides by 2 to get 33, then divided both sides by 11 to get 3.  Same result.

Determination = resolve, to be determined.\nPossibly it could mean the structural analysis based on perceivable and quantifyable characteristics to determine which species a certain specimen belongs to. Like in the plant world.
