What is the difference between Humanities and Liberal Arts?

November 302009

As in, a degree in Humanities vs. a degree in Liberal Arts (any level). I’m looking for which one will allow a combination of studies in History, Literature, Arts, and Paleo-sciences.

Liberal arts includes humanities, creative and performing arts, social sciences and (generally, though not officially at some university) natural sciences.

Humanities are classes like: English, philosophy, art history, religious studies, etc.
Paleo-sciences will either be considered a social science (as a branch of anthropology) or a natural science depending upon your particular university.

So, in short, a degree in Liberal Arts will enable you to study history, literature, arts, and paleo-sciences. A degree in the humanities will probably not allow history (though some schools may consider that to be a humanity) or paleo-sciences.

What’s the difference between modern and contemporary dance?

November 302009

Are there actually classes called modern contemporary, or do they just come in separate dance classes?
Which one is better and more fun?
I started getting into it because of SYTYCD!, so just suggest which ever dance is closest to the routines they usually have on the show (like the mia michaels and mandy moore routines! :)

Mia Michaels and Mandy Moore are more contemporary. I prefer contemporary, as it is more technical and challenging than modern. There are some classes that offer both modern and contemporary, but not many. You’re best bet would be to take a lyrical class, which will almost always include tons of contemporary, unless it’s a strange studio.

** Other styles to look at are:
Ballet (obviously) because it’s the fundamental of everything.
Musical Theater which helps with stage presense and performance and is super fun.
Jazz for more "tricks" or "moves" that you see on SYTYCD
Hip-Hop for obvious reasons
and . . .
Ballroom because it’s becoming more and more dominant in the dance world.

What are some important current events in America?

Posted in events | 8 Comments »

I leave for a leadership conference tomorrow and we have to research current events and I want to see what other people think are the most important current events of the day? Whether it is government related or just news.

1). Electronic surveillance and mandatory tracking with electronic devices (such as with the Houston Metro Q-card for riding city buses).

2). Land grabs (such as Houston Metro in process of accomplishing on Richmond Ave in Houston, Texas, after proposal for Metrorail expansion was voted and approved for Metrorail on West Park).

3). US nationals and residents being deprived of human rights (such as in the munipulation of societies with implants and electronic waves). Please see:

And what are probably tLouvreiggest ART museums in the world as far as how many valuable and famous paintings they have? Is the Art Institue of Chicago in the top 5 you think? My mom and I argued about this, she says it’s second next to the Louvre but I disagree. I think the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art is next.

Why is it necessary to maintain a constant generator voltage when performing a frequency?

November 302009

- Hi, this an AC circuit about THE SERIES RC Sinusoidal Response. Can you help me answer this question. Thank you very much.

Why is it necessary to maintain a constant generator voltage when performing a frequency respone? what would happen to the frequency response data if the generator voltage were allowed to vary?

You need a constant reference voltage for the measurements to be meaningful. The output voltage of the circuit under test will vary according to its frequency response. Without a constant voltage at the input you can not determine the effect of the circuit vs the effect of the varying input voltage and any readings would be meaningless.

What city within 100 miles of San Francisco has the highest average temp in October?

Posted in october | 8 Comments »

I live in San Francisco and I’m looking to rent a house with a pool or on a lake for Columbus Day weekend this October, and want guaranteed warm weather. Where’s the best weather? The city or town doesn’t have to be scenic or touristy; we just want to have a nice weekend by a pool.

Gilroy and Hollister get warm, but in mid-late fall it gets pretty mild. I used to live there too, so I know that it is close enough to the coast to get a nice cooling breeze in the afternoon, and a sweater is necessary in the evening.

The farther inland you go, the hotter it will get. I went to college at Davis, and a typical early October day could be 90 or higher, and it won’t start cooling down until midnight. The farther away from the Sacramento River Delta you go (north or south of highway 80, basically), it will get even hotter due to the loss of the "delta breeze" that keeps Davis and Vacaville weather at a moderate 90ish most of the time. Looking at a map, Modesto, Roseville, Merced, and Yuba City look promising. The hottest weather in the valley is at each end, Redding and Bakersfield, if you are willing to drive farther.

Keep in mind that I can’t guarantee a freak storm or unseasonably cool weather won’t happen.
