What is the heat number in material identifications?
The heat number is an identifying number assigned to the product of one melting in an electric arc furnace. Usually, but not universally: * the first digit indicates the furnace number * the second digit indicates the year in which the heat was melted * the last three (and sometimes four) indicates the melt number. So for example, a heat number 199202 indicates that the product is from the 202nd heat melted in furnance 1 in 1999.
Why is the population density so low in New Zealand?
Population density is calculated by the area of land and the amount of people in that land. In New Zealand's case, the country itself is quite large, larger than the UK, and the population is quite low. For every square kilometer of area in New Zealand, an average of 16 people live there.
How many north Vietnamese troops were there?
A conservative estimate would be about 500,000 (about equal to the number of US servicemen in country in 1968). This figure would include roughly 12 armored battalions and regiments (armor=tank) by 1973. NVA armor was established in 1959, with an armored command created in 1965; initially with only two armored regiments, the 202nd and the 203rd. These figures would NOT count the ground defense personnel stationed in North Vietnam, which primarily consisted of North Vietnamese females manning the anti-aircraft defense systems (SAMS, Radar, and AAA sites). Men served in the NVA maneuver units, torpedo boat naval units, and flew the MiGs (17s, 19s, and 21s); females defended the homeland with the aforementioned defense forces. The half a million men figure represents NVA elements moving thru and stationed in Laos, Cambodia, South Vietnam, and traversing those areas to and from the combat zones (read Ho Chi Minh Trail).

What is a sentence using the word epitomized?
Usage 1:Microsoft programming languages are the epitome of The Wrong Thing, meaning that they are woefully inadequate for Getting Things Done, and that they suffer from poor design.Usage 2 (a quote from a publication about Thallus and Christianity, which can be read in full here http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/richard_carrie/thallus.html):...This leads us to the most important reason for supposing this line to be an insertion by someone other than Africanus (or Syncellus): Phlegon almost certainly said no such thing. Eusebius quotes Phlegon verbatim (the only one to do so), and what Phlegon actually said is telling--the text is attested in Syncellus in the original Greek, but also in the Latin of Jerome, the Syrian epitome, and the Armenian: Jesus Christ..underwent his passion in the 18th year of Tiberius [32 AD]. Also at that time in another Greek compendium we find an event recorded in these words: "the sun was eclipsed, Bithynia was struck by an earthquake, and in the city of Nicaea many buildings fell." All these things happened to occur during the Lord's passion. In fact, Phlegon, too, a distinguished reckoner of Olympiads, wrote more on these events in his 13th book, saying this: "Now, in the fourth year of the 202nd Olympiad [32 AD], a great eclipse of the sun occurred at the sixth hour [noon] that excelled every other before it, turning the day into such darkness of night that the stars could be seen in heaven, and the earth moved in Bithynia, toppling many buildings in the city of Nicaea." ...I believe these are two words and are pronounced differently, but they have the same spelling. This may be incorrect. I was not able to determine with a cursory search.
What was the most important engagement in the Vietnam war involving tanks?
1. For the Australians, it's probably the battle for Firebase Coral in 1968; when some squadron's of the Australian 1st Armored Regiment deployed their Centurion 84mm gun tanks to retake the Firebases. See book: "The Battle of Coral" by Lex McAuley 2. For the US, the Green Beret outpost at Lang Vei was over-run by NVA PT76 Amphibious Light Tanks in 1968. The Special Forces men fought back with M72 LAWs (66mm). But the Firebase was taken by the NVA, the SF men were evacuated. See book: "Tanks in the Wire", by David B. Stockwell (1990) ISBN 10-0515-1033-30 3. For US Army tank battalions, the M48A3 Patton 90mm gun tanks engaged the NVA 202nd Armored Regiment at Ben Het in 1968. Of course it entailed Patton medium tanks verses NVA PT76 light tanks (90mm gun verses 76mm gun). 4. The first NVA verses ARVN tank battles occurred during the invasion of Laos in 1971; Operation Lam Son 719. The NVA were, again, using their time proven PT76 light tanks and T55 medium gunned tanks (100mm); the ARVNs were manning the M41 Walker Bulldog light tanks (76mm guns). They didn't receive the Pattons until 1973. 5. The biggest tank battles occurred during the 1972 Easter Offensive. It was during these battles that the NVA deployed the SAGGER anti-tank missile, knocking out US Patton tanks, this was the SAGGERs debut in combat. The SAGGER would play a bigger role a year later in the Yom Kipper War in 1973. 6. The same Easter Offensive introduced the US TOW anti-tank missile. US helicopters deployed to the Central Highlands during the NVA offensive and knocked out 24 NVA tanks. 7. The NVA were known to have 3 Armored Regiments; one of which was known to be operating in Laos & Cambodia (they were being tracked by US intelligence). When the final show-down came in 1975, it would be NVA T-54/55 medium gun tanks that would come crashing through the South's palace gates...ending the Vietnam War.
Do we say reserve private at the army or reservist private at the army?
The US Army consists of three armies: Regular Army, Army Reserves, and the Army National Guard. The US Air Force has the same organization. The USN & USMC do not; they only have reserves. For the Army & Air Force; the AIR National Guard and the ARMY National Guard are (and/or were up until the US Civil War) separate forces at one time; they were the STATE MILITIAS under the command and control of the GOVERNOR of the state that they belonged to. Example: During the US Civil War you might read during some battles (examples only) about the "35th Mississippi engaging the 46th New York at such and such place." AFTER the US Civil War, those names wouldn't be used...they'd say, as an example: "69th US Armor engaging the 202nd NVA Armor" (actual units engaged during the Vietnam War), but the 69th wouldn't mention a state...just the army itself...the US. Post US Civil War...the Army National Guard became the US National Guard so that "states" wouldn't fight each other again. Even though the Guard is still officially under the "C & C" (command & control) of the Governor, if he goes against the US government, as Arizona threatened to do in the 1930's over a dam project (water project); and Governor Wallace of Alabama actually mobilized his Alabama Army National Guard during a Civil Rights action in the 1960's, the US government can (and did in Wallace's case) activate the Guard unit into the REGULAR ARMY, this is a safety measure to prevent another civil war. Therefore, ALL US Army Reservists, Guardsmen, and US Army Regulars are US Soldiers: Privates, Private First Class, Specialists, Sergeants, etc. If you look at their uniforms they will ALL SAY US ARMY on them. None will say US Army Reserves or National Guard. Only on paper (orders: sometimes) will designations be so marked: Jones (USAR) or Jones (ANG or ARNG). Bottom line: Unless they were West Pointers or otherwise had received an "RA" commission, all US Army officers in Vietnam were Reserve/Guard officers on active duty. Upon completion of their tour of duty...they were returned to Army Reserve/Guard status and sent home.
What events led to the sinking of the Titanic?
The British ocean liner RMS Lusitania, famous for its luxurious accommodations and speed capability, primarily ferried people and goods across the Atlantic Ocean between the United States and Great Britain. On May 1, 1915, the Lusitanialeft port in New York for Liverpool to make her 202nd trip across the Atlantic. On board were 1,959 people, 159 of whom were Americans. Since the outbreak of World War I, ocean voyage had become dangerous. Each side hoped to blockade the other, thus prevent any war materials getting through. German U-boats (submarines) stalked British waters, continually looking for enemy vessels to sink.All shipst headed to Great Britain were instructed to be on the lookout for U-boats and take precautionary measures such as travel at full speed and make zigzag movements. Unfortunately, on May 7, 1915, Captain William Thomas Turner slowed the Lusitania down because of fog and traveled in a predictable line. Approximately 14 miles off the coast of Southern Ireland at Old Head of Kinsale, neither the captain nor any of his crew realized that the German U-boat, U-20, had already spotted and targeted them. At 1:40 p.m., the U-boat launched a torpedo. The torpedo hit the starboard (right) side of the Lusitania. Almost immediately, another explosion rocked the ship. At the time, the Allies thought the Germans had launched two or three torpedoes to sink theLusitania. However, the Germans say their U-boat only fired one torpedo. Many believe the second explosion was caused by the ignition of ammunition hidden in the cargo hold. Others say that coal dust, kicked up when the torpedo hit, exploded. No matter what the exact cause, it was the damage from the second explosion that made the ship sink. The Lusitania sunk within 18 minutes. Though there had been enough lifeboats for all passengers, the severe listing of the ship while it sunk prevented most from being launched properly. Of the 1,959 people on board, 1,198 died. The toll of civilians killed in this disaster shocked the world. Americans were outraged to learn 128 U.S. civilians were killed in a war in which they were officially neutral. Destroying ships not known to be carrying war materials countered generally accepted international war protocols. The sinking of the Lusitania heightened tensions between the U.S. and Germany and helped sway American opinion in favor of joining the war. In 2008, divers explored the wreck of theLusitania, situated eight miles off the coast of Ireland. On board, the divers found approximately four million U.S.-made Remington .303 bullets. The discovery supports the German's long-held belief that theLusitania was being used to transport war materials. The find also supports the theory that it was the explosion of munitions on board that caused the second explosion on the Lusitania.
