That was Mr. Samuel Morse himself, who proved that it could be done by submerging a cable in the NY harbour and telegraphing through it in 1842. In 1851, the first commercial submarine cable was laid on the bottom of the English Channel by the Anglo-French Telegraph Company, connecting France and the UK.


What is telegraphing during an interview?

This may refer to when a person is giving facial cues or other signs that they are nervous and they "telegraph" their emotions. It can also apply to any emotion that is revealed by watching the person's body language. While job interviews can make a person uneasy, the best thing to do is just be yourself and answer the questions honestly, to the best of your ability.


In karate what is faster action or reaction?

Reaction... if trained properly. Reaction is instinct and so it happens without conscious thought. This means many milliseconds are saved. (Think of how if you accidently touch something hot your body reacts and pulls your hand away without even thinking.) Action requires conscious thought, and many people end up telegraphing what they will do next with their eyes or other body movement.


Why do some men choose to write profiles on Match dotcom that contain sexual innuendos?

Guys choose to write such profiles for several reasons: 1. To signal that they really don't want a relationship, just sex. 2. Because they think it is expected of them or that women want that. 3. They may be desperate and think telegraphing their sexual interests will increase their odds of getting sex. Actually, it may do the opposite, at least when it comes to decent women.


Does Obama want a new constitution for the US?

Well, judging by his Super Bowl interview with Matt Lauer where he actively complained about the system set up by the Founding and it's difficulty in bringing about great change ( the point). Combined with his admiration for Europe, whose countries adopt a new Constitution on an average of every 19 years and the only thing keeping him in check being the election.... IF he's reelected, then he's telegraphing that he wants a new one and will probably pursue one in his second term.


Is a telegraph transmission considered an electronic transmission according to HIPAA?

An electronic transmission is anything sent electronically like a fax, or e-mail. HIPPA deals with confidentiality of patient records, and HIPPA addresses electronic transmissions because they don't want their rules to only apply to paper copies of medical records, they want them to apply to all forms of medical records and medical communication.

What standards are used to support the predominate view that the US Civil War was a modern war?

Several elements of the US Civil War are used to argue that is was the first so-called modern war. The first element was the scale of the conflict. Both sides mobilized large segments of their populations, sometimes via conscription . The second element was industrial mobilization. Fielding massive armies requires large quantities of supplies and equipment. Northern industry expanded to meet these demands, the South attempted to do also, but its lack of an industrial base caused them to seek help from overseas. The third element is often cited by many and is accurate, when accompanied by the first two elements. This included the use of railroads, steam engines, armored ships with turrets, extensive reliance on modern telegraphing, newer rifles, observation balloons, and trench warfare.

How is it possible that a wife can tell a woman is having an affair with her husband by simply looking at the mistress?

While some people might call this simply 'Women's intuition' there are real physical and social queues that can tip the mistresses hand. People who are in a relationship tend to act differently around someone they are intimate with. Longer eye to eye contact, physical disposition (how someone stands next to a lover) and an aversion to interact with the spouse who have been wronged. Longer or as some call it 'soulful gaze' can be an indicator. People tend to keep brief eye contact in social situations and then look around the room before settling back on the eyes of the person they are conversing with. People tend to feel more comfortable to maintain a longer eye to eye contact when they have been intimate. Social customs tend to give many clues to people's relationships. When people are talking to each other in a crowed they let off physical queues that indicate their emotional connection to the party. Someone leaning away while talking can be an indicator that they are uncomfortable in their presence, while having their arms crossed over their chest tends to be a strong indicator of frustration or anger. Most people feel comfortable with about two feet of personal space, which most social customs support. If the mistress is often crossing that invisible barrier and seems to be leaning inwards those are two strong indicators of a close physical relationship. Another indication of duplicitous behavior would be if the husband while in the presence of both his mistress and his wife is unable to make secure eye contact with his wife. This behavior strongly suggests a level of shame or guilt. More than likely the mistress, if she knows about the wife will have a similar reaction (particularly if the mistress and wife are at least socially antiquated). While it might seem magical, or a herculean level of intuition more than likely the spouse and mistress will give off many other social queues that the wife can see. People tend to act in patterns and a change in those patterns will usually clue in a wife that not all is as it was. This can also take into account that people who have lived together, and been married tend to know the customs and habits of their spouse. More than likely the husband and mistress will give the game away from their social queues and not even be aware they are telegraphing their culpability as if they were yelling it in the wife's ear.


How do you defend yourself from a knife attack?

An attacker with a knife can be very dangerous. Knives can move very fast, can cut very deep, and unlike guns, they never run out of bullets. As with any aggressive situation in the street, the smartest thing to do is to avoid the conflict. Talk your way out of the fight; back off and walk away, or run as fast as you can. Being macho in the street can mean ending up dead. As for techniques and tactics, the more training you have from a knowledgeable and competent instructor, the better your chances. There are things that a novice can do to improve their chances of surviving a knife attack, such as grabbing any object to strike with, or wrapping a jacket around your arm for defense, but the smart thing is to enroll in an authentic and reputable Martial Art school that focuses on Reality-Based Self Defense more-so than sports. Don't try to learn self defense against a potentially deadly attacker from a book, video, or on the internet. You are more likely to end up dead from misinformation, lack of proper training, and stupidity. Most any variation of Martial Art will have effective techniques for dealing with an armed attacker, however each approach might differ vastly. The initial response to an armed assault should be to create distance when possible, so that the attacker must lunge forward, thereby telegraphing their movements. Grappling systems of self defense will tend to teach a safe and quick method of grasping the wrist of the arm holding the weapon as a counter to an attack, off-setting the opponent's balance, and then a throw or takedown is applied, followed by disarming the attacker. Hand striking arts, such as Karate, will often employ evasion, blocks, and powerful strikes to vulnerable targets that will either dislodge the weapon, break bones, or cause unconsciousness. A primarily kicking art, such as Taekwondo, will utilize the reach of the leg to disable the knee, while combining blocks and controls to divert the attack and disarm the attacker. Takedowns, and throws might also be employed here, as well as upper body hand strikes, elbows, or knees to disable the attacker, but Taekwondo tactics typically utilize the devastating power of kicks to smash bones, and render the opponent unable to attack. All of these options require years of training, and still pose a danger, even to an expert. Martial Art masters fight when there is no other viable alternative. Training does not change that philosophy; it simply improves the odds of success when forced into a physical confrontation.
