Females live in small groups with female relatives and their young. Males are driven away when they grow up and usually live alone, or occasionally with one or two other males. They canmeet up with other elephants and become a bigger herd, with looser bonding, especially in the dry season.

What were the primary similarities and differences between Hinduism and Buddhism?

Similar: Both originate from India, Lord Buddha being born in Gaya, Bihar; Lord Rama in Ayodhya, and Lord Krishna in Gokula, U.P

Both use chanting of prayers and mantras to purify, focus and instruct the mind.

Both meditate on and worship Deities (Sri Murti), which tallies with the Beatitude "Blessed are the Pure in Heart, for they shall see God". Some (many) in the Mosaic faiths (Moses 10 commandments) consider this idolatry, but we assert that, it is not those who meditate on the picture or statue of God or the gods (angels, Lord Jesus, saints, Buddhas, Ganesh, Hanuman, etc.) who are at fault, but rather those who criticize them, and certainly those who destroy temples of any faith, are condemned by the Lord.

Differences: Buddhism seeks to attain Nirvana which is cessation of suffering as does Hinduism, but many sects (actually on both sides) consider nothingness to be the goal, which is rejected by personalists of the Bhakti school who want to be with God, rather than merge into him or simply cease to exist.

Buddhist texts are derived from Pali, the language of north India 2500 years ago (and thence into local languages, especially Tibetan, Burmese, Thai, Simhala, Chinese & Japanese).

Hindu texts mainly originated in Sanskrit, a more ancient language, but also in medieval Hindi like Tulsidas' Ramayana, or classical Bengali like Sri Chaitanya-Caritamrta (1486-1534AD).

Buddhists all shave their head clean, while Hindus adopt many styles showing their ashram, such as dreadlocks, or shaved but keeping a tuft or larger portion of hair at the back, called a sikha.

Hindus also wear markings on their foreheads, and bodies if they are sadhus, which display which tradition they belong to and whom they worship. Buddhists are more plain & simple in this regard.

Some Buddhist traditions use the chanting mala, rosary (eg. Tibetan) while others don't (eg. Zen, the impersonalist school). But again, some Hindus chant while others do silent meditation. Hinduism is an collection of very many religions and traditions from mountain to ocean, desert to plains, forest to jungle. It cannot be defined as a single religion. Buddhism also has its Mahayana and Hinayana traditions, Theravada, Chinese & Japanese schools (Ch'an - Dhyan - Zen - all mean meditation).

One big difference is that Buddhism professes that there is no God, but then proceeds to worship Buddha and the gods in that indirect way. Both traditions tend to be vegetarian but there are relaxations due to modernism or to remote location such as Tibet.

To summarise, we believe Hinduism gave birth to Buddhism, in some ways as a protest movement against animal sacrifice, casteism, & the suffering of the masses while the priests and kings enjoyed. Buddha led a movement to reform this, to show compassion to others, human and otherwise. There are many variations of both traditions, many areas of overlap and some bones of contention - but at root both share meditation, worship, and loving kindness at the core of their philosophies.

What is the relationship between color and light?

Relationship between color and light Different wavelengths, and thus different frequencies, of light are perceived by the human eye as colors. The visible light spectrum ranges from 400nm to 700nm, with 400nm being perceived as violet and 700nm being perceived as red light. The energy of the light dictates its color. An easy way to remember the order of the colors of the visible light spectrum is "ROY G. BIV", or Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet. When one sees an object as a certain color (green leaves on a tree, perhaps), this is due to the light wavelengths that are and are not being absorbed. In the case of green leaves, the chloroplasts absorb most of the wavelengths of the visible spectrum except green. Thus, green light is reflected off of the leaf and the rods in ones eyes perceive the wavelength as green.

White Light and Bright Colors

Generally speaking, whiter light (comprised of equal amounts of all colors) makes colors appear more natural and vibrant. However, some portions of the spectrum are more important to a light's color makeup than others. Red, blue and green-the primary colors of light-can be combined to create almost any other color. This suggests that a light source containing balanced quantities of red, blue and green light can provide excellent color appearance even if this light source is deficient in other colors in the spectrum.

What are the similarities between hydroelectric energy and fossil fuel?

  • They are both renewable sources of energy, that is, they can be used over and over and the power keeps coming.
  • Neither emits any greenhouse gases or any other pollution, as fossil fuels do, so they contribute nothing to global warming.
  • They are both expensive to establish at the moment but are slowly becoming cheaper (or solar panels certainly are), but they are the future of energy generation.

Cities

Population of Citizens/Subjects/Residents

Process for Domestic Travel and International Travel

Diplomatic Recognition by other United Nations members

What are the similarities between charging by induction and friction?

Drag, when referring to Air Resistance, is a type of friction. When an object flies, it comes in contact with air that it has to push out of the way. Since energy is always transferred (never created nor destroyed), the moving object loses some energy/force/velocity when rubbing against the passing air.

The frictions that we are more aware of are kinetic and static friction. Static friction is what holds an object in place when another force is acting on it. For example, when you have a book on a table and slope it, the book takes a bit to start moving. However, if you hold the table at a lesser angle and touch the book lightly, it will start to move. This is the difference between static and kinetic frictions.

They can both store data. Both can extract information. There are a lot of functions and formulas that can be used on both. There are a lot of things that you can use a spreadsheet or a database to do. They are both computer applications. They are often found in suites of software, such as Microsoft Office or Open Office. There are lots of variations of both. They both have a huge range of uses. Data can be transferred between both. There are many more similarities, and a lot of differences too.

What is the relationship between electricity and magnetisum?

The magnetic field will be perpendicular to the electric field and vice versa.

More DetailAn electric field is the area which surrounds an electric charge within which it is capable of exerting a perceptible force on another electric charge.

A magnetic field is the area of force surrounding a magnetic pole, or a current flowing through a conductor, in which there is a magnetic flux. A magnetic field can be produced when an electric current is passed through an electric circuit wound in a helix or solenoid.

The relationship that exists between an electric field and a magnetic field is one of electromagnetic interaction as a consequence of associating elementary particles.

The electrostatic force between charged particles is an example of this relationship.

What is the relationship between accounting and business administration?

Almost every business involves the exchange of money in one way or another. If I go to the store, the owner had to buy the merchandise, then I pay for it and they have to pay their rent, employees, taxes, and many other costs.

It is very important to keep careful track of all this money. The store has to make sure what they are earning is greater than the total cost of running their business. If not, they will have to close shop. They also have to plan for paying bills, and save money each month so they will have enough to pay taxes each year. They need to know they are making enough to pay their employees. And they need to make sure no one is stealing any money from the cash registers, and keep track of the cost of the merchandise that is stolen from the store.

Keeping track of all this flow of money is called "accounting." In a small store, the shop owner may do the accounting themselves. If a business is large enough, they are able to hire an "accountant" to do the accounting. The larger the business the more accountants they may have. It is an essential part of running a business.
