What are some similarities between Bach and Marsalis?
they both died................................
uh yeah they both died fosho!!!!
Hi! This is Steph here to clean up this mess of an answer!
Well, obviously we know they both died, duh, everyone does it at some point. One that I can think of off the top of my head, is that both had loving fathers. Both of them had fathers that helped them into a lifestyle of music. And that's how they got to be a composer and trumpet player. I'd have to do a little research to get some more info, but that's the best I can do without looking around! Hope this helped!
They are both considered to be musical dynasties; those that pass music from generation to generation in their family.

Similarities between christianity and hinduism'?
Hinduism is a polytheistic religion. Christianity has one God in the form of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Both believe that God sends representatives to Earth. Both believe in a supreme God. Both believe that God is present in blessed food. Both have a commandment not to kill. Both believe that loving God is your first duty in life.
More Similarities:
- Both believe that a god exists.
- They believe that stuff is here for a reason.
- They believe that science will eventually prove them more correct.
- They are both religions.
- Both can believe in god incarnate. (Hinduism is such a diverse religion that making comparisons between it and another religion is really hard as some Hindus believe the exact opposite of what others do.)
- Both Hindus and Christians believe life is sacred and that material things are not important.
- They are both religions
Differences:
- The Basic Belief in the Vedas The Vedas are the holy books of the Hindu faith. They are accepted as correct. This parallels the Christian belief in the absolute correctness of the Bible
- The Existence of an Enduring Soul Both religions accept that there is an enduring portion of the human existence that transcends corporeal existence
- Reincarnation based on Karmic Burden Hinduism believes in a succession of lives in which the soul learns and progresses towards perfection (See below). Christians believe in one existence as a physical being and a continued post death existence in a Heaven or Hell (See below)
- Belief in One or More of a Pantheon of Gods Hindus have a pantheon of gods that are never the less ultimately one god. The worshipper can chose one or many of these aspects to worship. Christians believe in a three fold god that is ultimately one God. The rules for which one to worship are confusing
- Goal of Existence The goal of existence to a Hindu is to escape the ongoing cycle of birth an death and joining into the godhead as a drop of water in an ocean or eternal being in god's presence (it varies with sects). Christians have an after death goal of attaining an eternal reward in Heaven and avoiding eternal punishment in Hell.
Although Hinduism is thousands of years older than Christianity, the main similarities between the two religions is that Hinduism was the first of the two to teach about 1) monotheism [belief in one Creator God, called "Vishnu" in Sanskrit] and 2) the Hindu version of what Christians call "The Golden Rule."
Although in many respects very different religions, there are a few similarities. Both religions teach that good deeds in this life will pay off in the next. However in Hinduism you are repaid by being reincarnated as something better than you already are, whereas in Christianity you rest in heaven forever.
In Christianity, God is a Trinity: The Father, the Son, & the Holy Spirit.
In Hinduism, God is a Trimurti: Brahma, Vishnu, & Shiva.
What is the relationship between Government and Society?
Political parties are based on an ideology on how a government should operate and what the goals of the government should be. These two beliefs on government effect the policies and practices of a government. Society, in turn is effected by government and in some cases society gives birth to a political party. The three are found together.

What are the similarities between greek and Egyptian gods?

What is the similarity between simple interest and compound interest?
Simple interest is calculated on the principal only. If you have $1,000 and earn 5% interest per year, you will receive $50 at the end of year one. At the end of year two, you will receive another $50. And on it goes.
With compound interest, you earn interest on the principal plus any interest you previously earned. Looking again at the previous example, at the end of year one you will still receive $50. At the end of year two, however, you will receive $52.50. Why? Because the 5% is paid on the principal PLUS the interest you previously earned. At the end of 10 years, you'll receive $77.57. After 20 years, $126.35. With simple interest you would still receive only $50.

What are the similarities between Unix and Windows?
There are very few similarities beyond some convergent features of their respective user interfaces. Their internal architecture is very different, differing from kernel models to shell integration to executable formats. A comprehensive list of similarities is neither possible nor useful, because it would consist mostly of obvious statements like "They are both operating systems" or "They both have graphical user interfaces, "They both include web browsers" and the like.

How Are Computers Useful To Human Beings?
With ever increasing availability of more complex and dynamic operating systems, the primary use of a computer is only limited to the imagination and technical know how of the user.
Some examples of use in the home:
- Network attached storage (Linux distribution named FreeNAS)
- Media Server (Hewlett-Packard makes a dedicated version of this)
- Graphics design (Adobe is the forefront in design software)
- Architectural design (AutoCAD leads this category)
- On-line banking (savings, loans, insurance, credit, mutual funds...)
- Gaming (always fun, sometimes aggravating)
- Social Networking (Myspace, Facebook, Twitter).
- Knowledge sharing (WikiAnswers, Wikipedia, Lifehacker, Gizmodo)
- Science (Folding at Home is a great example of home-based cloud computing)
The list goes on. These are just a few examples. Use your imagination, and chances are someone is using a computer in their home somewhere for that purpose.

What are the similarities between sunni and shiite mosques?
In the opinion of the Muslim Prophet Muhammad is the last prophet to mankind, to both Sunnis and Shiites.
AnswerThe Islamic religion was started by God's revelation ofthe Quran to the prophet Muhammad through the Angel Gabriel (Jibril) in the seventh century. In 622, Prophet Muhammad founded the first Islamic state, a theocracy in Medina, a city in western Saudi Arabia located north of Mecca.The two Islamic groups are Sunnis and Shiites. The two groups are the same in the basic Islamic beliefs and faith. They only differ in some detailed side issues including the way of selection of the successors (Caliphs) who rule the Islamic State after the death of the prophet Muhammad.
The largest group, called the Sunnis, believe that the first four caliphs--Muhammad's successors--rightfully took his place (through election) as the leaders of Islam.
The smaller of the major groups are the Shiites. There are a number of subdivisions under the 'umbrella' of 'Shi'a' and although they differ in details all of them believe that only the heirs of the fourth caliph, Ali, are the legitimate successors of Muhammad. They believe that the Caliphs should be of the descendants of the prophet. Accordingly, Aly should have been the first caliph after the prophet Muhammad's death.
The Shi'ites call these successors Imams. Shi'ites do not accept that the Imam is to be only a political leader but they believe that they are literally 'manifestations of God', they are sinless, infallible and the bringers of true understanding to all humanity. They are referred to within the Shi'ite tradition as being masum, that is, free from error or sin. The last Imam, the Mahdi, is believed not to have died but to be in hiding and Shi'ites believe that he will appear at the end of time in order to bring about the victory of the Shi'a faith (see third paragraph below).
The main groups under the Shi'ite umbrella are the Zaydiyyah or Fivers, the Isma'iliyyah or Seveners and the Imamiyyah or Twelvers. The numbers five, seven and twelve refer to the last authorised interpreter of the law or Imam that each group accepts. Of the three the Twelvers are the biggest & it was in 931 that the Twelfth Imam disappeared.
This was a seminal event in the history of these Shi'ite Muslims. According to R. Scott Appleby, a professor of history at the University of Notre Dame, "Shi'ite Muslims, who are concentrated in Iran, Iraq, and Lebanon, [believe they] had suffered the loss of divinely guided political leadership" at the time of the Imam's disappearance. Not "until the ascendancy of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1978" did they believe that they had once again begun to live under the authority of a legitimate religious figure.
The following Answer is Disputed
Islam has more than two major branches, the major branches that can be more easily found are the Tablighs, the Sunnis and the Shia. There are key differences between these "branches" which would take a lot of details to describe, however, to put it in as short an answer as possible, here si a view of their beliefs for lack of a better word.
- Tabligh: This "branch" founds itself on the belief that there is one God, and focuses primarily on this fact and that prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) was a prophet, and a MAN doing the work of God as he was chosen to do. They believe that they are here as Muslims, not merely to spread a religion blindly, but to remind every Muslim of what his duties are as a Muslim and to put every effort into ensuring that all Muslims follow what God has sent down by living their lives in the footsteps of the prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) and to guide Muslims according to what the prophet (S.A.W) did and said, and to live as closely to his example as possible. Not to add anything to Islam, not to take anything away, but to maintain the way of life that was taught to us over 1400 years ago.
[Hint: Tabligh is not a branch of Muslims. it is an Arabic word that means "informing". Every Muslim, Sunni or Shiite, is required to understand his religion and to perform "Tabligh" to the relevant people. However, this task is no longer relevant. Nowadays, there are a wide variety of means of "Tabligh" or informing such as education institutions, mosques, media, etc. The other point is that Prophet Muhammad never believed in, by any Muslim, as doing the work of God. The prophet is believed in as conveying the commands of God and God Quran revelations to him.]
Sunni: This "branch" has the same belief system as the tablighs, but they differ in one aspect, that being that they believe the prophet (S.A.W.) was more than a man, to the extent that some of them believe he actually has the power to be in different places at the same time. The argument of this belief is for a different time and place.
[Hint: No Muslim, of Sunni or Shiite, believes that Prophet Muhammad was more than human but they all believe that he was supported by God & selected as a prophet to receive the revelation of the Qur'an. The Sunnis are the Muslims who agree on the way the Caliphs were elected and are followers of Qur'an teachings and Prophet Muhammad sayings and practices. ]
- Shia: This "branch" believes that the prophet (S.A.W.) was the last prophet, and also that Ali (R.A) is the successor of the prophet and the first imam. Their belief also states that Imam Mahdi is alive and is the 12th imam hiding in the earth in between people and will disclose himself on Allah's command and will come and again show us the right path.... As before, this is not a forum for argument and this is left up to you.
[Hint: Apart from what they believe in Imam Mahdi, the Shiites differ from the Sunnis only in the way of the Caliph were elected. Although they supported the first Caliphs as elected, after Muhammad's death, they believed that they should be from the prophet's family & descendants. ]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They are more alike than different. They worship same God. Believe in same prophet and same Quran. Perform the same five Islam pillars. They go to same place for pilgrimage. They can do the ritual worship of praying together behind the same Imam irrelevant he is Sunni or Shia. They differ in minor issues that are not violating basic Islam fundamentals and principles. Refer to question below.
Shiats say that Imam must be appointed by God; that appointment may be known through the declaration of the Prophet or the preceding Imam. The Sunni scholars say that Imam (or Caliph, as they prefer to say) can be either elected, or nominated by the preceding Caliph, or selected by a committee, or may gain the power through a military coup (as was in the case of Muawiyah).
Shi'a scholars say that Imam must be sinless. The Sunni scholars (including Mutazilites) say that sinlessness is not a condition for leadership. Even if he is tyrant and sunk in sins (like in the case of Yazid, or Today's King Fahd), the majority of the scholars from the shools of Hanbali, Shafi'i, and Maliki discourage people to rise against that Caliph. They think that they should be presevered.
Shiats say that Imam must possess above all such qualities as knowledge, bravery, justice, wisdom, piety, love of God etc. The Sunni scholars say it is not necessary. A person inferior in these qualities may be elected in preference to a person having all these qualities of superior degree.
Shiats say that 'Ali was appointed by Allah to be the successor of the Prophet, and that the Prophet declared it on several occasions. More than one hundred of those occasions are recorded in the history. The Sunni scholars believe that the Prophet did not appoint anybody to be his successor. This is despite the fact that there are many traditions in the six authentic Sunni collections which support this assignment.
