Please someone help!Answering some U.S history questions? anyone please asap!?
I can only answer some: 2) they needed slaves to grow tobacco(it took much labor and land)
3) John smith saved Jamestown by introducing tobacco.(he started growing it)
7) half way covenant allowed partial membership in church and baptism to new commers' children. (more people were allowed to join) I guess non puritans.channel 5 weather pontoon boats

HAVING DIFFICULTY UNDERSTANDING THE PHILIPPINE TECHNOLOGY?
Per messages received, still the scientific community is facing a blank wall for they could not decipher %26amp; perceive the teachings of the author Winston Kayanan. The Philippine technology is anchored on organic matter cycling, taught in high school and easy to understand which requires no further explanation. As such, the author believes that the key players in the environment (attacking global warming %26amp; climate change) should rather be soil scientists, agriculturists, foresters than environment scientists. But for the benefit of all, following are the salient features of this multi-purpose %26amp; multi-benefit Philippine technology known as implantation (performing on a hectare daily) via organic matter cycling, to wit:
a) Recapturing carbon roughly at 656.25 metric tons per hectare a day. Purpose is to bring back carbon to its domicile which is the land, a major component of the soil.
b) Recapturing carbon compounds (such as carbohydrates, fats, oils, proteins %26amp; other related substances like waxes, terpenes, etc.) roughly at the same amount 656.25 metric tons per hectare a day. Purpose is to enrich %26amp; nourish the land for tree plantation or vegetation.
c) Recapturing large amounts of CO2 by way of microbial action of photosynthetic bacteria and production of chlorophyll to carry on %26amp; sustain the process of photosynthesis) at 900 quadrillion metric tons per hectare a day. Purpose is to reduce excess or freed carbon in the atmosphere, causing heat %26amp; climate change.
d) Releasing large amounts of O2 likewise in the same amount of 900 quadrillion metric tons per hectare a day. This has varied purposes like to cool air (like neutralizing methane), repair ozone layer, strengthen the immune system of organisms, rebuild melted glaciers, and many more. Production of such volume is extremely necessary because large volume is required to repair all in the scalding environment. For example, the third ozone hole that appeared in 2005 has an area of 25 million sq. kilometers which is about the same size of North America.
e) Recovering %26amp; stabilizing water at 4,375 metric tons per hectare a day. Purpose is to develop groundwater %26amp; aquifer and to maintain wetlands such as streams, rivers and lakes.
f) Recapture nitrogen, not quantifiable being volatile. Purpose is to help crops %26amp; trees grow.
g) Develop beneficial microorganisms having natural pesticide capabilities such as mychorrizae. Purpose is to kill pathogens %26amp; non-pathogens coming from urban wastes.
The above will only be realized by collecting %26amp; burying biomass in the subsoil down to 10 feet or 3 meters of a wasteland. The biomass would include post harvest waste materials from farms (such as corn, rice, etc.) urban wastes like left over foods %26amp; other perishable goods, farm wastes (like hogs, poultry, cattle, etc.), sewer %26amp; sludge, some agro-industrial wastes (like feed mill, rice mill, etc.), agro-commercial wastes (such as processed foods in dairy, meat products, etc.) and many more. The purpose of the depth is for space of roots of trees to grow and absorb organic matters鈥?nutrients once the planted trees are maturing (after full rehabilitation). CO2 %26amp; O2 could reach this depth.
Illustration of letters 鈥榓鈥?%26amp; 鈥榚鈥?(see above) undergoing decomposition:
Total Vol. of Biomass (Fresh Weight) per HA. 6,250 MT
Less: Average Volume of Water Content, say 70% 4,375 MT
Est. Net Vol. of Biomass (Humus Dry Weight) per Ha. 1,875 MT
Multiply: Average Volume of Carbon Content, say 35%
Est. Ave. Vol. of Pure Carbon Retrieved per Ha. 656.25 MT
The 6,250 MT would more or less be equivalent in weight to 28,000 (500-pounder) trees and hence, one can already imagine large production of chlorophyll under the soil by microbial action and the penetration of the sun. Collection of such volume requires coordination with farm owners. In some instances, other countries (like Afghanistan, Pakistan, China, Russia or in the middle east) having less agriculture %26amp; forestry resources (i.e., nil or less waste materials) would require importation of large volume of biomass.HAVING DIFFICULTY UNDERSTANDING THE PHILIPPINE TECHNOLOGY?
I already told you!! OK. An extension of the Russian AJAX concept to a turbojet is being explored. This magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) energy bypass engine cycle incorporating conventional gas turbine technology has MHD flow conditioning at the inlet to electromagnetically extract part of the inlet air kinetic energy. The electrical power generated can be used for various on-board vehicle requirements including plasma flow control around the vehicle or it may be used for augmenting the expanding flow in the high speed nozzle by MHD forces to generate more thrust. In order to achieve this interaction, the air needs to be ionized by an external means even up to fairly high flight speeds, and the leading candidates may be classified as electrical discharge devices. The present kinetic modeling calculations suggest that the use of electron beams with characteristics close to the commercially available e-beam systems (electron energy ~60 keV, beam current ~0.2 mA/cm2) to sustain ionization in intermediate pressure, low-temperature (P = 0.1 atm, T = 300 K) supersonic air flows allows considerable reduction of the flow kinetic energy (up to 10 to 20 percent in M = 3 flows). The calculations also suggest that this can be achieved at a reasonable electron beam efficiency (畏 ~5), even if the e-beam window losses are taken into account. At these conditions, the exit NO and O atom concentrations due to e-beam initiated chemical reactions do not exceed 30 ppm. Increasing the beam current up to ~2 mA/cm2, which corresponds to a maximum electrical conductivity of 蟽max ~0.8 mho/m at the loading parameter of K = 0.5, would result in a much greater reduction of the flow kinetic energy (up to 30 to 40 percent). The MHD channel efficiency at these conditions would be greatly reduced (to 畏 ~1) due to increased electron recombination losses in the channel. At these conditions, partial energy conversion from kinetic energy to heat would result in a significant total pressure loss (P0/P0i ~0.3). The total pressure loss can be reduced operating at the loading parameter closer to unity, at the expense of the reduced electrical power output. Raising the beam current would also result in the increase of the exit O atom concentrations (up to 600 ppm) and NO (up to 150 ppm). In conclusion, the people of the Phillipines should use this technology and stop trying to use their human excrement as a viable means of power generation.

Character name help name suggestions?
My story will be involving a recently freed slave (before/during the Civil War era) either named Enoch (Hebrew meaning :dedicated" probably named by his master and meant for him to be dedicated to his master), Jabez (Hebrew meaning "borne in pain" as a meaning to him being born a slave), or Absalom (Hebrew for "father of peace" and is known as King David's beautiful but yet rebellious son that tried to overthrow him). What do you think of those names? Which one do you like better?
But my character decides, after running away to the North, to rename himself and gives himself a new name. So far I like the names: Asa, Maurice, or Seth. But of course the name will have to flow well with the surname Crane (he's adopted into a family) and then he gets married to a young girl and takes the surname Fitzgerald.
If you need any more, here's his character:
A rather witty, quick-thinker he takes great pride in fighting for his freedom. His master often thought him as quiet and obedient, but he's actually observant and calm, bidding his time for his master to let his guard down in order to run away. Growing up quickly on the plantation made him mature quicker than most boys. He does, however, have frustrations with society about treating him less equally than barn animals but also has low self-esteem believing that while blacks and whites can live together side by side, he feels that they can't intermix in a marriage which puts a strain on his relationship with Alexis, a young spunky white girl who is also his love interest.
What do you think? And I don't want overused names like William or Thomas! I want unique names that also fits with the time period.Thanks for your help!Character name help name suggestions?

Why do Americans think they are white? and why do they bash the Southern Europeans?
They usually bash the Southern Europeans, because they are a bit dark.
But that's simply because of the climate, that the generations had to adapt, creating darker genes in order to get protected against the sun exposure. Other than that, Southern Europeans are pure whites, and have pure white caucasus blood running through the veins.
Now, the Americans on the other hand, have black blood.
That's right.
Even if they look white, the probability of having Amerindian/Black blood in the genetic pool is high.
Hence the fact, there was and still there is, interracial.
Since the Colonization of the Americas, during the Cotton plantation, in the back of the mighty lord, to the days of today. Yeehaw!
So why do you Americans, call yourselves of white, when you have Black/Amerindian blood.
And why do you bash the Southern Europeans, calling them non-whites?
Just because you have brown people in South America, doesn't mean Europe has too.
Do you feel the urge to divide Europe?
The Blonds come from the North, while the Brunettes from the South.
So please tell me, when did the brunettes, stop belonging to the white-caucasus.
I'm sick of being discriminated in my homeland, by you, when you probably haven't left your ignoramus continent.
Don't I look white to you?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/67097560@N0鈥?/a>Why do Americans think they are white? and why do they bash the Southern Europeans?
"White" is slang for "of European descent". Your skin could be purple, but if your DNA reads European, you're European. It's more than just how you are colored, like some idiots like to believe. It's your bone structure, your body/bone mass, even things like your respiratory system and the diseases you are more prone to getting, all have to do with your race. Genetics can tell what you are as well, because race can be seen in your DNA... I know a girl who was murdered, and they could tell it was her, because they found her skull and yeah... they can tell your gender, race and age by nothing but your skull (Europeans have different molers than other races, etc.). Anyway, if you're southern European, you're just as "white" as say, an Irish person. I was told by my doctor that I'm more likely to have ostheoperosis (idk how to spell), simply because I'm white. Not because I have a paler skin tone, but because the way my European ancestors lived, ate, etc. I consider my best friend, who is Spanish with dark hair, eyes and skin just as "white" as I am.
I am pure, 100% European, and I was born in America. My grandparents immigrated here from Europe not very long ago. There's no way I'm anything but white. And I'm American... so, I am pure white AND American. It was only tough in Elementary school... everyone thought it was so cool to be part native american (it IS cool), and since I am pure white... I was excluded. I didn't care though. I'm proud to be Czech, it's better than ANYTHING!!! Just kidding.
You're right, a lot of Americans are multi-racial, but there are the exceptions... like me. BTW I want to point out that being proud of being white is not racist. It's seriously screwed up when people think that it is. If you're proud to be black, does that make you racist? Of course not.
P.S. I don't think I'm better than you... how could I, or anyone else, think that? I live in America, but I am probably more related to you than anyone here, so don't be angry if I call myself white o.0 it's all I am...
I can tell you that Americans can care less about you and your southern European bloodline. You should grow a thicker skin and not worry about what other people on a completely different continent think of you.Why do Americans think they are white? and why do they bash the Southern Europeans?
"pure whites"?? Many people in Spain are dark, the same as Italy.
And even if North Africans are considered Caucasoids, they aren't considered white. LOL
White Americans are descendants of White Europeans are they not?
Almost everyone has a race within them that isn't the current race they are however, the amount of Non-White Blood White Americans possess is not a significant amount and they don't really live or were raised within the culture so there's no point in them claiming it.
This race thing is silly, trying to put down others in your race. Grow up.
I think the asker is using this section, which is notorious for racist trolling and Bull, as his source for Americans don't care about Southern Europeans or class them as White. Someone's feeling the need to prove something?
I swear, you're one of the most delusional people on this site -.-
First off, your entire question is filled with broad, general statements about groups of people.
You say that Americans think they are white- well, I'm an American, and I'm not completely white. Lots of Americans are all kinds of colors.
You say Americans bash Southern Europeans, when millions of Americans ARE from Southern Europe.
Before you start complaining about bigotry against your group identity, take a look at your own bigotry against others.
You need to realize everyone is an individual, period.
Your rants against Americans and what you falsely think they believe are no beter than what you are accusing Americans of.
firstly, americans usually don't give two shits about what is going on in your european country. you need to stop generalizing, what if i said all germans are nazies. that would total bullshit. Most people in the u.s.a now do not concern or dwell on wether or not they are pure white because there are more important things. Racial purity is becoming more and more rare and you seem to be making a big deal about it so your implying that whites should be pure and you are not white if you have a tiny bit of anything else.
you sir need to grow up and look beyond this. Im not going to debate wether white americans are pure whites but i will tell you this. STOP BEING IGNORANT!
also many of my white friends willingly admit to having native american and black either in their family or bloodline so its no big deal, seriously.
There is no such thing as 'black' blood. I don't have the time to get into a huge essay about ethnic theory and such.
I will say that I presently live in America, and I have never heard anyone bash Southern Europeans due to their skin color. No sir, you are the one who seems quite obsessed with ethnicity and skin color. Who cares who's white or not white? That is all.
Edit:
After reading your additional details, I think you're epic-ly missing the point. NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR ETHNICITY. If you're Caucasian, whatever. If you're not Caucasian, whatever. It doesn't matter. If you're a hypocrite and an unpleasant person (and I kind of think you are due to your vaguely racist attitudes), then being a Caucasian won't change my opinion of you. Stop worrying about ethnicity, stop worrying about classifications of ethnicity, and just spend your time worrying about whether or not you're a good person.
Okay?
But that's simply because of the climate, that the generations had to adapt, creating darker genes in order to get protected against the sun exposure. Other than that, Southern Europeans are pure whites, and have pure white caucasus blood running through the veins.
Now, the Americans on the other hand, have black blood.
That's right.
Even if they look white, the probability of having Amerindian/Black blood in the genetic pool is high.
Hence the fact, there was and still there is, interracial.
Since the Colonization of the Americas, during the Cotton plantation, in the back of the mighty lord, to the days of today. Yeehaw!
So why do you Americans, call yourselves of white, when you have Black/Amerindian blood.
And why do you bash the Southern Europeans, calling them non-whites?
Just because you have brown people in South America, doesn't mean Europe has too.
Do you feel the urge to divide Europe?
The Blonds come from the North, while the Brunettes from the South.
So please tell me, when did the brunettes, stop belonging to the white-caucasus.
I'm sick of being discriminated in my homeland, by you, when you probably haven't left your ignoramus continent.
Don't I look white to you?

"White" is slang for "of European descent". Your skin could be purple, but if your DNA reads European, you're European. It's more than just how you are colored, like some idiots like to believe. It's your bone structure, your body/bone mass, even things like your respiratory system and the diseases you are more prone to getting, all have to do with your race. Genetics can tell what you are as well, because race can be seen in your DNA... I know a girl who was murdered, and they could tell it was her, because they found her skull and yeah... they can tell your gender, race and age by nothing but your skull (Europeans have different molers than other races, etc.). Anyway, if you're southern European, you're just as "white" as say, an Irish person. I was told by my doctor that I'm more likely to have ostheoperosis (idk how to spell), simply because I'm white. Not because I have a paler skin tone, but because the way my European ancestors lived, ate, etc. I consider my best friend, who is Spanish with dark hair, eyes and skin just as "white" as I am.
I am pure, 100% European, and I was born in America. My grandparents immigrated here from Europe not very long ago. There's no way I'm anything but white. And I'm American... so, I am pure white AND American. It was only tough in Elementary school... everyone thought it was so cool to be part native american (it IS cool), and since I am pure white... I was excluded. I didn't care though. I'm proud to be Czech, it's better than ANYTHING!!! Just kidding.
