Art - I had your viewpoint for quite a while and to some extent still do, yet I was forced after some serious thought to consider if the American response had not actually augmented relations between the countries; for it drew out a statement from Rice condemning torture and saying it would not...
A fair point but one must also consider that numerous immmoderate years have passed since the dawning of the nuclear age in Pakistan and India - we have had a massive polarisation in the world between the East and the West, tensions on both sides are extremely high and a very fine balance has...
I was speaking with the Head of the UK branch of a charity who deals with poverty and he gave poverty in these terms.
In Britain, the brink of disaster is being homeless with no means to uspport your self. Destitution is when you cannot feed yourself in a bed sit. Poverty is when you cannot...
After the Cuban Missile Crisis JFK said
"We no longer live in a world where only the actual firing of weapons represents a sufficient challenge to a nation's security to constitute maximum peril. Nuclear weapons are so destructive and ballistic missiles are so swift, that any substantially...
Modern constitutional theory is incredibly interesting. Let us consider the case when a country has just gone through a revolution, and in most revolutions the insurgency has a head figure. Once power has been won by these insurgents, if they choose to affect widescale reform of the government's...
Can i ask what do people think about women heads of state (such as Rice/Clinton would be) and relations with strictly Islamic states who practise fundamentalist shia law?
My brain clearly disengaged and crumbled you are correct I am wrong, show me the hole to crawl into!
I meant 'Crisis de los Misiles' - and this was a slightly major nuke issue (42 if I'm correct)!
Sorry again
I've used/seen used both of the LCD projectors and smartboards.
Smartboards, I feel, are very good in some subjects, such as chemistry where a member of faculty can go through a sheet of theory on the smartboard and save all of the lessons additional explanation notes onto that sheet as...
Hmmmm
Iran/generic non westernised state seen to have a right leaning, islamic, government, can never be allowed to have nuclear weapons.
This is the view of most western governments, especially the US. Ever since the Bay of Pigs fiasco where the US/USSR came so close to instigating nuclear...
Now now we know everything has an explanation
No we haven't however I doubt that such lengths would be gone to. My interpretation of the trick is that the first is acomplished by palming and probably a bit of magnetism (his ring?!)
The second is a 'set' table, a table with a hole, the...
No i was thinking about that and I realized that a non-newt or form etc wouldn't work as objects (including his arm) rest on the table - and the table does not deform also a foam would not work as it would not have the transparent and refldective properties required
And with the salt shaker, note how he hides the emergence point - there is a hole in the table most likely, his choice of table is NOT random - note the lighting (very bright for an underground bar!) and in particular with the salt shaker trick he covers up over half of the table - I'm guessing...
Watch his hands, the one under the table does not move until the coin is produced and after the coin has 'disappeared' from the top of the table the hand above the table does no move. Thus I think it is fair to say that he hides the coin (he chooses a small one on purpose) and hides it between...
