Open Question: What is Krav Maga really like...?

At the basic levels they tutor you how to disarm a gun and defend against a knife, but what about the more advanced stuff?? Does it, for example, prepare you for: 1. Fighting an unarmed opponent 1 on 1 (with no interference) 2. Ground-fighting multiple opponents? 3. Big weapons (swords, baseball bats, big pieces of wood)

Open Question: What topic should I choose for a physics presentation?

I have to do a presentation to my physics class, and am looking for a good topic. People often do things like supernovae, or the physics of baseball or music. I'm considering music, but I wouldn't mind doing something more creative. I'm not the best physics student, so if the topic is too complicated, I probably won't do it, but I don't want to do something painfully obvious like roller coasters. Any help would be appreciated!

Open Question: Can someone help me with a math portfolio?

1. In a baseball game, the middle fielder throws the ball to home dish so that the ball reaches the dish just in time for the catcher to tag the sliding runner. The height of the toss is modeled by the function h(t)= -4.9t^(2)+20t+1.3, where t is the time after the ball is released in seconds and h(t) is the height of the ball in meters. a. Find h(0) and explain what the value means. b. How long does it take the ball to reach the dish? Explain your work. c. What is the maximum height of the ball? When is the maximum height reached? Show and explain your work. d. The runner on third base hesitates for half a second and then sprints the 90 ft to home dish, arriving at exactly the same time as the ball. What is the runner's speed in meters per second? Explain how you found your answer. (Note: 1 inch=2.54 cm) 2. Explain how you can find the factors of a polynomial from its graph. 3. Explain how you can find the y-intercept for a higher order polynomial from its equation. 4. Write at least 2 paragraphs to describe the math concepts in chapter 7

Open Question: How do I generate power off the tee?

I'm an avid 38 year golfer. I took the game up right after graduating from college- where I pitched in Division 2- in Florida, so it was very good caliber of baseball for the D2 level. When I first took up the game, 460 CC drivers weren't around yet, so I only used a 3-wood. I could hit it 250 yards, carry + roll. Now with the 460 CC drivers, most of my buddies have picked up extra distance on me. I can still hit my 3-wood 240 yards, but my driver is pretty much maxed out at 250. I've tried different shafts, different models, lessons, the works. I can fade and draw the ball, but I need distance. I'm still in pretty good shape- lift weights and stretch 2-3x per week. Give me something to think about... typo, meant to say "avid 38 year old golfer" Tommy Long- that's great advice about putting and driving the ball barefoot- makes perfect sense. What's your swing speed? Why are you using a regular shaft- not stiff? I mean regular shaft with the driver, but then you use stiff shafts with some of the overs. I play with Callaway irons, X-20 irons, and carry a 3 and 4 hybrids already- much easier to hit consistently. Good adive as well El Perro.

Open Question: LGBT: Does my crush like me or he’s just being weird.(Kinda Long)?

Hi My LGBT people! Ok I like my crush a lot and I want him so badly but idk if he likes me or he just wants to be my pal or he’s just being a creepy hetero! I would really appreciate it if you every answer my question!!=D Ok here are some things he does! --Whenever I look him in the hallways alone, he stares at me but when he’s with his pal, he ignores me. --When we run In P.E, he tries to be either besides me, in front of me or behind me (IDK why). --When I hear to music and I lip sing to it, he always tries to read my lips. --He stares at me a lot. --One time I was talking to this dude while jogging, and my crush was staring at both of us and after that he jogged away kinda disappointed. -- We were playing baseball and he was scratching his c0ck and I was staring at it and he caught me staring at him so after he saw me, he was doing it constantly and faster and staring at me. --When I was the catcher in baseball, he just wouldn’t cease staring at me, and sometimes he pretended to be looking at other people when I looked at him. --Whenever we do push-ups or sit-ups, he stares at me! -- We were waiting outside of the gym for the bell to ring, I was sitting down and my crush came up to me and was like staring at me & he seemed like he wanted to tell me something, but then after I looked up at him, he randomly went to drink water. -- I was playing a basketball match with my teammates and anyways I saw him sitting in the bleachers and like he had his legs open and since I like him so much I looked at his c0ck and he caught me looking at him, so I pretended like I wasn’t looking at him. 2 minutes later, i turned to look at him again and he still had his legs opened and again he caught me staring at his c0ck again but he didn’t say anything (Maybe he liked it or something..lol). -- I was talking to this girl from P.E class and from far away, I saw him that he was staring at us -- There were seats available for him to sit at, but he choosed to sit right next to me! Do you think he likes me?? Sorry for asking this long boring question!

Open Question: Leverage incline press or db floor presses?

Hey, well I grew up lifting in a power cage and never used smith machines or leverages. Cable gyms on accusation for seated rows or tricep tug downs. Anyway, my question is what would be better, floor presses with dbs ( where you stack books on the floor, set the dbs on the books, then start pressing ) or incline bench press with a leverage machine like powertec? Powertec is basically a cheaper version of hammer strength. It's the wb-ls model. Since of my height, I would have to incline press on the powertec leverage machine. I ask because I can receive a used one for $300.00. To me, I would prob only use it for bench, maybe bicep curls....if the pulley is good on it. Okay neway to the basic question, leverage incline presses or db floor presses with the books? I need a self spotting or a way to have no spotter....and no smith machines are out of question, bad for shoulders. I don't mind spending $300.00 if the machine will develop the chest better. However, if the floor presses will do better, then whats the point.....So which one would be better? tiny Note: I previous had shoulder problems my one arm, dislocations( played baseball and boxed )..also lifted.
