What does "Web 2.0" mean?
|
The term "Web 2.0" refers to what some people see as a second phase of development of the World Wide Web, including its architecture and its applications.\n\nIt is my personal belief this is another buzz word created by the marketing types to sell more conferences and what not.\n\nIn all reality however Web 2.0 makes up many awesome technologies such as podcasting, AJAX and the move to a more connected space of information. Imagine an Internet where all sorts of information are built together.

why is 13 considered unlucky?
|
Triskaidekaphobia is the fear of 13, a number commonly associated with bad luck in Western culture. While fear of the number 13 can be traced back to medieval times, the word triskaidekaphobia itself is of recent vintage, having been first coined by Coriat (1911; Simpson and Weiner 1992). It seems to have first appeared in the general media in a Nov. 8, 1953 New York Times article covering discussions of a United Nations committee. \n\nThis superstition leads some people to fear or avoid anything involving the number 13. In particular, this leads to interesting practices such as the numbering of floors as 1, 2, ..., 11, 12, 14, 15, ... (Sloane's A011760; the "elevator sequence"), omitting the number 13, in many high-rise American hotels, the numbering of streets avoiding 13th Avenue, and so on. \n\nApparently, 13 hasn't always been considered unlucky. In fact, it appears that in ancient times, 13 was either considered in a positive light or (more commonly) not at all (Adams). The association of bad luck with the number 13 has been attributed to the fact there were 13 people at the Last Supper of Jesus, although this association seems to have originated only in medieval times. \n\nThe association has also been linked to that fact that lunisolar calendars (such as the Hebrew and Chinese calendars) must have 13 months in some years in order to synchronize the solar and lunar cycles, while the solar Gregorian calendar in universal current usage always has 12 months in a year. \n\nTriskaidekaphobia also may be related to Norse mythology, which tells how the god Odin invited eleven of his closest friends to a dinner party at his home in Valhalla, only to have his party crashed by Loki, the god of evil and turmoil, thus giving a total of 13 people. The legend goes on to related how Balder, one of the most beloved gods, tired to throw Loki out of the party, resulting in a scuffle and ultimately Balder's death with a mistletoe-tipped arrow. \n\nFear of the number 13 also leads to fear of Friday the thirteenth (a fear recently dubbed paraskevidekatriaphobia), despite the fact that Friday turns out to be the most common weekday on which the 13th of a month can occur in the Gregorian calendar . The association of bad luck with Friday appeared in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in the late 14th century ("and on a Friday fell all this misfortune"), but references to Friday as a day associated with ill luck in general first appear around the middle of the 17th century (Mikkelson and Mikkelson). In particular, it appeared in numerous publications as a particularly unlucky day to start a new venture (beginning a journey, giving birth, getting married, moving, starting a new job, etc.) beginning around 1800 (Mikkelson and Mikkelson). \n\nWhile 13 is associated with the number of people at the Last Supper, the Crucifixion took place on a Friday, thus leading to an association of back luck with the combination of this number and day. Note that the association of Friday the thirteenth with the arrest of Jacques de Molay, Grand Master of the Knights Templar, on Friday, October 13, 1307 by King Philip IV of France is a modern-day invention (Mikkelson and Mikkelson). \n\nParaskevidekatriaphobia is probably the most widespread superstition in the United States, possibly affecting tens of millions of Americans. Interestingly, a study by Scanlon et al. (1993) published in the prestigious British Medical Journal which analyzed the relation between health, behavior, and superstition surrounding Friday 13th in the United Kingdom by comparing the ratio of traffic volume to traffic accidents on Friday the 6th and Friday the 13th over a period of years found that, "The risk of hospital admission as a result of a transport accident may be increased by as much as 52%. Staying at home is recommended." \n\nWhile there does not appear to be hard evidence to support the claim, it has been suggested that $800 to $900 millio

In 1863, Thomas Nast, a German immigrant and artist, was asked to illustrate Clement Clarke Moore’s "A Visit from St. Nicholas." Nast is credited with giving us a visual image of the cheerful Santa that was to later become widely accepted.

Its because the American worker gets paid to much. Companies have nothing left to put into the actual product. Bring backed forced labor camps and quality will skyrocket.

The combination of histones and DNA forms a nuceoprotein called _______?
|
Nucleosome\n\n\nA nucleosome is the fundamental repeating subunit of eukaryotic DNA, and is made up of DNA and histone proteins. It is found in the cell nucleus in eukaryotes. All chromatin (except for that packaged in the sperm nucleus) consists of nucleosomes. Nucleosomes can be seen with an electron microscope as bead-like structures along the DNA.\n\n[edit]\nStructure\n \nThe crystal structure of the nucleosome core particle at 2.8 Å resolution.The histones make up the central core particle of the nucleosome. The DNA is wrapped around this protein complex in 1.6 turns, comprising about 145 base pairs. Together with the DNA linking two nucleosomes, there are about 200 bps of DNA per nucleosome.\n\nNucleosomes are involved in processes ranging from compaction of DNA to transcriptional control, and appear to be major carriers of epigenetically inherited information as well. Repeating nucleosomes with intervening "linker" DNA form the 10-nm-fiber, known descriptively as "beads on a string", and have a packing ratio of ~6, compared to "free" DNA (per nm length). A chain of nucleosomes can be arranged in a 30-nm-fiber, a compacted structure (thought to be a helical solenoid, a zigzag ribbon structure, a superbead, or having no regular structure) with a packing ratio of ~40. The H1 histone stabilizes this structure. Beyond 30 nm fiber the structure of chromatin is poorly understood, but it is classically suggested that the 30 nm fiber is arranged into loops along a central protein scaffold to form transcriptionally active euchromatin. Further compaction leads to transcriptionally inactive heterochromatin.

With one year left on my lease for my retail store, when should I begin to re-negotiate for a new one?
|
I have a retail store with one year left on my lease. I am wondering when would be a good time to start talks with the landlord. Should I wait for another 3 months or perhaps 6 months? Or should I let it be known I want to extend it now?
|
I would start to plant the seed with the landlord soon. You will be in a better position to negotiate with him if you have more time and thought invested. Start by dropping hints and let him know what you like and dislike about where you are. Also check out what similar areas in other retail locations are renting for. Not for the sake of moving, but to use in your negotiation process if needed.\n\nNegotiating is like dating. Not many people say yes to a marrige proposal on the first date. You have to court that person for some time before popping the big question.

how do i get over being afraid of girls when having depression?
|
My advice is find a girl who has similar issues and personality type so she can relate to you and establish some trust. I think that would eliminate the fear componet if she has been though what you have. Finding her is a whole other issue and let me know if you can figure that one out.

How to solve Magic Cube ?
|
Could please tell me the logic of solving a magic cube with six faces having six different colours suffeled in disorder (I mean the real solid cube.)\n\nThanks \nBarbie N
|
Unless you know about group theory, there is going to be no mathematics involved to solve the Magic Cube(better known as Rubik's Cube). To read about relation between group theory and Rubik's Cube, visit http://web.usna.navy.mil/~wdj/rubik_nts.htm\n\nThere are a lot of different algorithms to solve Rubik's cube. Layer by Layer is the most suitable for beginners. Fridrich method is popular among speedcubers. One that I use is mixture of these two algorithms and my average time is about 70 seconds. Good speedcubers have average of about 15 seconds.\nTo find out more about speedcubing visit http://www.speedcubing.com/\n\nIf you just want to solve the cube without learning how to solve it, you can visit http://www.roobik.com/cgi-bin/rubix/rubix.cgi\nto repair your cube.

How to find whether my girl is virgin or not???
|
Here is a crazy idea. Ask her. If you do not believe she is being truthful then dump her. Personally it should not matter. I was not a virgin when I met my future wife and she was. For being a very devout Christian that was a big leap for her, but in the end she got around it. And you should as well, unless she is not truthful.

yes there was a google alternative, where a professional body of people in all fields will answer your question within a specified time period for a certain fee.

How can I contact the Sprint Fraud Management department. It seems as thought there is no way to contact them?
|
I was wrongly charged for some services that I did not order from Sprint. I contacted Sprint's Fraud Management, filled out the paperwork as instructed and mailed them in. Its been three months and I have not heard anything from that department. I have not been able to contact them to find out the status of my complaint. My question is: "How can I deal with this problem and get that false charged off my credit report?"
|
I recommend checking your credit report to see if Sprint has placed this account on there. The only company that gives free credit reports offered by the government is annualcreditreport.com. If the Sprint account is on there but you never opened any account with them you might be the victim of identity theft. Your first step is to place a fraud victim security alert on your credit report which lasts approximentally 3 months to a year depending on the credit bureau. Your next step is to go to your local police department and file an identity theft report. Once you have a copy of your police report send it in along with a letter disputing the account as not belonging to you to the credit bureau. They will send a copy of your police report to Sprint for you and block the account from appearing on your credit report.

How much does my former employer pay for unemployment benefits in California? Does it come out of her pocket?
|
The previous poster is incorrect. In fact, the unemployment benefits program is paid for by a tax paid by employers, not employees. The tax is applied to the first $7000 of wages paid to each employee. The exact percentage of tax the employer pays varies; it depends on how many previous unemployment claims that employer had (the fewer claims, the lower the tax on the employer)

How do you prove the existence of God using acceptable scientific methods?
|
Science is by nature empirical, if you can't observe or quantify something then it cannot be studied scientifically. For this reason, God cannot be proven scientifically (and technically, science can't disprove God, as you can never prove a negative), as you can't observe Him.\n\nThis is not to say that science and God are mutually exclusive. If God exists, and if His actions were observable then it would be studied scientifically.

You can be taught about Moses's idea of life in school. I was, in my Comparitive Religions class, my World History class and my general Social Studies class. They don't teach Moses's beliefs on the origins of life in Biology class because his beliefs aren't scientific in nature. Moses didn't ask the Hebrews to believe him because of scientific proofs, but because of their faith in G-D.

Is it better to leave the heat on at the same temp or lower it at night/when you are out?
|
If it is better to turn it down at times, wouldn't the heater kick in more (and therefore use up more gas) to warm up the extra chilly air? The gas company tells me to leave it on at the same temp throughout, others tell me otherwise - and I have no idea who is right. Should I really trust the company who stands to gain more profit from me getting higher bills (even though I lean towards their rationale)?
|
You are better off turning it down at night. You can get a programmable thermostat so you don't have to do it manually. You can get a 7 day programmable (recommended if you will be changing the temp every day) or a 5/2 (changes it only on weekends). I'd recommend a White-Rodgers 1F80-361

What is a blog?
|
I have head this word a lot of times but did not understand it. what does it mean?
|
A blog is a website for which an individual or a group frequently generates text, photographs, video or audio files, and/or links, typically (but not always) on a daily basis. The term is a shortened form of weblog. Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called "blogging". Individual articles on a blog are called "blog posts," "posts," or "entries". The person who posts these entries is called a "blogger".\n\n * Electronic communities existed before internetworking. For example the AP wire was, in effect, similar to a large chat room with "wire fights" and electronic conversations. Another pre-digital electronic community, amateur (or "ham") radio, allowed individuals who set up their own broadcast equipment to communicate with others directly. Ham radio also had logs called "glogs" that were personal diaries made using wearable computers in the early 1980s.\n * Before blogging became popular, digital communities took many forms, including Usenet, e-mail lists and bulletin boards. In the 1990s Internet forum software, such as WebX, created running conversations with "threads." Threads are topical connections between messages on a electronic "corkboard." See "Common terms," below.\n * Diarists kept journals on the Web: most called themselves online diarists, journalists, journallers, or journalers. A few called themselves escribitionists. The Open Pages webring contained members of the online-journal community. The first famous journaller was probably Justin Hall.\n * Other forms of journals kept online also existed. A notable example was game programmer John Carmack's widely read journal, published via the finger protocol.\n * Websites, including both corporate sites and personal homepages, had and still often have "What's New" or "News" sections, often on the index page and sorted by date.

Why do we get dandruff?
|
Some dandruff is caused by dry scalp. Some is caused by a skin condition called seborrheic dermatitis. It is now commonly believed that this may be a fungus infection. \n\nSo, dandruff shampoos are "medicated" (such as Neutrogena T/Gel or Nizoral) to make conditions such that the fungus can't thrive. Home remedies do the same thing (Listerine has herbal medications, use of dilute vinegar increases the pH of the scalp).

What are key difference between Movable Type and Wordpress blogging platforms? Which should I choose?
|
For one, Movable Type is written in perl, Wordpress in PHP. Setup for Wordpress is generally easier. Movable Type is more complicated and can host multiple blogs. Movable Type can currently only handle one per installation though that should change soon. Moveable Type is not free if you have more than one blog. WordPress is completely free. MT requires at least some pregeneration of static pages. Wordpress generates all pages out of a database. Since MT has been around longer, it's more mature and has lots of plugins for it. Wordpress is catching up though. Personally I prefer Wordpress because it's simpler and easier to make changes to.

Is very easy. If you are using a textarea with a HTMLArea (WYSIWYG) and you want to stores the styles, the solution is to store in the database all the content of the posted field (when you submit the page the content of the textarea will include the formated text, e.g. <p align='center'><b>foo</b></p>). Next, when you want to extract the content from the data base, it's piece of cake because if you want to show it, it's already formated and you will see as the original. \nIf you want to put it in the textarea just write in the HTML source file the following:\n<textarea ...><% // echo the extracted content here %></textarea>\n\nI hope this will help you.

If you blow up a photo and you see a lot of pixels, there really is no way to clear it up, even though you may sometimes see people on TV do it.\n\nIf sharpening doesn't work (be sure to use "unsharp mask", it allows a greater degree of control than other sharpening options), then I don't there's anything you can do. You can't add information to a photo that is not already there (which is what you are doing when you blow up a digital image and see pixelization).

What kind of process was used to change Michael Jackson's skin color? How much did it costs?
|
Is this procedure available to general public? Are there any side affects or dangers on future health?
|
No. It is not available to general public. He had to submit to this procedure due to the skin desease he has called Vitiligo. \n\nThis illness destroys the skin pigmentation in some areas of the body... causing that in a black person skin (like Michael) appear big white patches.\nThe process Michael had was to destroy the pigmentation of the rest of the still coloured skin when the illness was too advanced and he could not put make up on the white patches like he did in the beginning (Late 70s, early 80s)\n\nAlthough I think it is not too dangerous, since its a common procedure to treat patients with advanced Vitiligo it has side effects. This process destroys the pigmentation of the skin, that is the natural protection from the sun, so you have to be very careful with your skin. Especially you cannot be exposed to the sun. That's the reason Michael wears dark clothes, mask, fedora and umbrella most of the times he goes out.\nAnd probably you will have to put some creams for the skin, sun blocker or even take special medicine. \n\nThough I'm not so sure of how much this may cost... I bet it's a lot.

Yahoo is launching the VOIP service around March 2006. Yahoo’s Phone Out VoIP service will let users make calls from their PC to non-VoIP enabled traditional landlines and cell phones located in over 180 countries. Calls within the United States will cost $0.01 per minute. Calls to 30 other countries such as Australia, France, Germany and Japan will be priced at less than $0.02 per minute. Yahoo will also make prepaid call plans available, priced in increments of $10 and $25.\n\nThe Phone In VoIP service will let users receive calls from traditional landlines or cell phones on their PC and will be priced at $2.99 per month, or £29.90 per annum. Users subscribed to Yahoo Phone In will be able to choose a phone number in a different country so calls originating from the country will be charged at a local rate. Subscribers will also be able to select multiple phone numbers for use when traveling.\n\nThe Phone Out and Phone In VoIP services will be made easily accessible from a toolbar that will let the user send instant messages, send email and SMS, as well as make calls. A beta of both Yahoo VoIP services will be made available in Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Singapore and Spain soon.

Britney Sues Us Weekly? Your Thoughts?
|
Britney Spears has filed a $20 million libel lawsuit against Us Weekly, charging the celebrity magazine published a false story reporting she and husband Kevin Federline had made a sex tape and were worried about its release.The lawsuit, filed Monday, seeks $10 million in libel damages and $10 million for misappropriating the 24-year-old pop singer's name and image to promote sales. It also seeks unspecified punitive damages."We have a very credible source and we stand by our story," Us Weekly spokesman Alex Dudley said Tuesday in a statement.According to the lawsuit, the article was published Oct. 17 in the magazine's "Hot Stuff" column and claimed that Spears and Federline feared the release of a secret sex tape, which they had viewed with their estate planning lawyers.The article stated that Spears gave a copy of the tape to the lawyers on Sept. 30 and that she and her husband were "acting goofy the whole time" while watching the video.

why does the Bible begin with Adam and Eve but yet makes no mention of dinoseours or cave men.?
|
The Bible is a record of a specific group of people and their beliefs. It does not mention the Chinese, but we do know that they existed at the same time as the ancient Hebrews. If we look at the creation story in the eyes of the people that recorded it, we will find that in different sources, there are different, shall we say, interpretations of the story. We know, because Christ said such, that he taught only in parables. As the Son of God, we must accept that, as deity, he would not change. He clearly states that he was the God of the Old Testament. Since he is unchangable, he must have taught by parable. Until one accepts that much of the Old Testament contains many accounts that are symbolic in their meaning, such as the Book of Job, we must either see them as irrational explanations of the world (myths)or fairy tales. Since many of us reject these explanations, we must decide that there is a rational reason for the way the things are told. When we see the symbolic, hidden meanings within the story, then understanding and personal revelation, through prayer and deep contemplation can reach us.\nWhen we look at the story of Genesis, we are not looking at a detailed description of the entire act of creation, merely a summary as explained to Moses. However, the chronology of the events do, in fact, reflect the modern scientific explanation in a simple and to an ancient inhabitant, understandable manner of the creation of the earth.\nThere are millions of animals, plants, and other things that are not mentioned in Genesis, but that does not mean that they did not exist. But it does show that the planet had to be created before life could be. Plant life proceeds animal life , which proceeds human existence. In this, there is no disagreement with science.\nAnother thing we must accept, when we carefully study the Bible is that much of it has been altered, lost or mistranslated. this can lead to serious misunderstandings.

Why is Lindsay Lohan anorexic?
|
Because success and popularity don't equal happiness. I have no personal knowledge of whether or not she is anorexic, bulimic, on drugs, or fueding with Hilary Duff--and I frankly could care less. Whatever difficulties Lindsay may be going thru ought to be her concern alone. And if they involve her body image, then I hope she would have the good sense to seek the advice of anyone who would tell her she is a perfectly lovely young woman with some real ability. I certainly hope that happens.

Why do people come to the EMERGENCY ROOM expecting IMMEDIATE SERVICE and INSTANT RELIEF?
|
Half the people that come to my ER have NON-EMERGENT complaints and the half that do, think they should be treated as if they're dying. Most people don't know what pain is. They think that life can exist with NO PAIN and NO SICKNESS. They think just because they're being seen by a Physician that there should be some kind of INSTANT DIAGNOSIS with a MAGICAL PILL that make all their pain and weakness go away. REALITY CHECK!! There's no such thing. With the happiness and joy that life brings there is also sometimes PAIN and SADNESS. It's unavoidable. When you come to the ER, don't expect MCDONALD'S drive-thru style service with %100 CUSTOMER SATISFACTION.
|
When someone goes to the Emergency Room it's usually because they have never felt so sick. Or had such pain before. They hope they can be treated right away because it is scarey to feel so bad and they don't want it to get worse. If you can't be understanding and caring to these people then find another job. You don't seem to be the type that has deep enough feelings for somenoe else.

Dan Greenhalgh was drafted in the 24th round by the Phillies in 1971. Did he ever play professional baseball?
|
Greenhalgh was drafted as a pitcher from Folsom High School in Folsom, Texas as the 548th pick in the 1971 June draft. This much I know is true. He is currently, alledgedly, a pro baseball scout. There is no record of him having ever played for the Phillies according to their media guide, I can find no major league stats for him anywhere and I have not located a baseball card for him. He is dating my sister and claims he played in the majors for 7 years, mostly with the Giants. I think he is a fraud, but perhaps he at least spent some time in the minors or, though unlikely, maybe I just haven't looked in the right places. Anyone who can provide me some answers would do me a great service and might just prevent a relationship disaster from happening.
|
Baseball_Reference.com lists every major league player that has appeared in a game, and does not list Greenhalgh. (It essentially replaced the old Baseball Encyclopedia.)\n\nIf his claim is that he was a professional player, that is certainly possible, since minor league players are professionals, and you know he was drafted. He may also have been a coach or instructor of some kind. There are no good complete sources listing minor league players or coaches, or even scouts. Much baseball scouting is done by people who are essentially amateurs, who receive a commision for refering good prospects if they find one.

How can we improve our moral standards in the USA??
|
Many analysts think that our moral standards, especially amonst the young is going downhill. What should we do to improve our image??
|
Push the religious "right" out of power and influence. Those who cry the loudest about moral values or family values seem to be the least moral of all.\n\nThose who seek to push their beliefs on others are neither moral or right (i.e. conservative). \n\nWe improve the true moral character of our leaders our image will follow.

I have bought a new laptop ...it is wifi compliant!what sort of card should i buy to have wireless experience?
|
Can anyone let me know the name of company and cost of card in euros !!
|
Are you saying that the laptop does not already have a wireless card in it. Most new laptops sold are already equipped with 802.11g (aka 54g) wireless cards. I would check your manual or specs to make sure that it doesn't already have a card in it. If it doesn't read on.\n\nIf you want to use WiFi in your home then you will need a router. My personal favorite is anything by Netgear but any basic WiFi router should serve your needs.\n\nAs I said above if your laptop doesn't already have a WiFi card, then you will need to get a PCMCIA or USB wireless adapter.\n\nI would bet though, that the new laptop does already have a WiFi adapter in it.

Can I have a statement written by myself, stamped by a notary?
|
Over the last 3 years I have kindly notifed my landlords of the things in my apartment that were not working properly ie; leaky windows, mold etc. Plus there were problems that came unexpectedly ie; flood and oil buildup in front drain which came into the foyer etc.\nThey have fixed one or two things in the meantime, but I am moving now and I feel I'm going to have problems getting my security back. They seem to conveniently forgotten in the past about the things that were wrong and I'm afraid they will say I made those problems.\nThey let the lease expire after the first year but I still have my original. They seem to be avoiding the topic and have a new tenant coming in the day after I move out(whom I feel bad for). They live UPSTAIRS from me and I can't help it if they don't care about their house.\nI need to know what to do to protect myself. If I take pictures and write a statement about the conditions can I get it notarized?\nI'm moving out by Jan 1st. What can I do?
|
Yes, you can get the document notarized, but that will not make the document any more valid in court than a non-notarized document.

Why and when was the Mason-Dixon line completed?
|
Though the Mason-Dixon line is most commonly associated with the division between the northern and southern (free and slave, respectively) states during the 1800s and American Civil War-era, the line was delineated in the mid-1700s to settle a property dispute. The two surveyors who mapped the line, Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, will always be known for their famous boundary.\n\nIn 1632, King Charles I of England gave the first Lord Baltimore, George Calvert, the colony of Maryland. Fifty years later, in 1682, King Charles II gave William Penn the territory to the north, which later became Pennsylvania. A year later, Charles II gave Penn land on the Delmarva Peninsula (the peninsula that includes the eastern portion of modern Maryland and all of Delaware).\n\nThe description of the boundaries in the grants to Calvert and Penn did not match and there was a great deal of confusion as to where the boundary (supposedly along 40° north) lay. The Calvert and Penn families took the matter to the British court and England's chief justice declared in 1750 that the boundary between southern Pennsylvania and northern Maryland should lie 15 miles south of Philadelphia. A decade later, the two families agreed on the compromise and set out to have the new boundary surveyed. Unfortunately, colonial surveyors were no match for the difficult job and two experts from England had to be recruited.\n\n\n\nCharles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon arrived in Philadelphia in November 1763. Mason was an astronomer who had worked at the Royal Observatory at Greenwich and Dixon was a renowned surveyor. The two had worked together as a team prior to their assignment to the colonies.\n\nAfter arriving in Philadelphia, their first task was to determine the exact absolute location of Philadelphia. From there, they began to survey the north-south line that divided the Delmarva Peninsula into the Calvert and Penn properties. Only after the Delmarva portion of the line had been completed did the duo move to mark the east-west running line between Pennsylvania and Maryland.\n\nThey precisely established the point fifteen miles south of Philadelphia and since the beginning of their line was west of Philadelphia, they had to begin their measurement to the east of the beginning of their line. They erected a limestone benchmark at their point of origin.\n\nTravel and surveying in the rugged "west" was difficult and slow going. The surveyors had to deal with many different hazards, one of the most dangerous to the men being the indigenous Native Americans living in the region. The duo did have Native American guides although once the survey team reached a point 36 miles east of the end point of the boundary, their guides told them not to travel any farther. Hostile residents kept the survey from reaching its end goal. Thus, on October 9, 1767, almost four years after they began their surveying, the 233 mile-long Mason-Dixon had (almost) been completely surveyed.\n\nOver fifty years later, the boundary between the two states came into the spotlight with the Missouri Compromise of 1820. The Compromise established a boundary between the slave states of the south and the free states of the north (however its separation of Maryland and Delaware is a bit confusing since Delaware was a slave state that stayed in the Union). This boundary became referred to as the Mason-Dixon line because it began in the east along the Mason-Dixon line and headed westward to the Ohio River and along the Ohio to its mouth at the Mississippi River and then west along 36° 30' North.\n\nThis line was very symbolic in the minds of the people of the young nation struggling over slavery and the names of the two surveyors who created it will evermore be associated with that struggle and its geographic association

Taoists? What is Taoism to you?
|
Taoism-The philosophical system stems largely from the Tao-te-ching, a text traditionally ascribed to Lao Tzu but probably written in the mid-3d cent. B.C. The Tao, in the broadest sense, is the way the universe functions, the path [Chin. tao=path] taken by natural events. It is characterized by spontaneous creativity and by regular alternations of phenomena (such as day following night) that proceed without effort. Effortless action may be illustrated by the conduct of water, which unresistingly accepts the lowest level and yet wears away the hardest substance. Human beings, following the Tao, must abjure all striving. The ideal state of being, fully attainable only by mystical contemplation, is simplicity and freedom from desire, comparable to that of an infant or an “uncarved block.”\n\nTaoist political doctrines reflect this quietistic philosophy: the ruler's duty is to impose a minimum of government, while protecting his people from experiencing material wants or strong passions. The social virtues expounded by Confucius were condemned as symptoms of excessive government and disregard of effortless action. Second only to Lao Tzu as an exponent of philosophical Taoism was Chuang-tzu, who wrote brilliant satirical essays. Taoist ideals greatly influenced Chinese literature, painting, and calligraphy. Later Taoism emphasized the techniques [Chin. te=power] for realizing the effects flowing from the Tao, especially long life and physical immortality.
