What's the difference between expansion and imperialism?
Q. For an essay on US history, I was asked to explain the ideology supporting expansion and the motivations for imperialism in the late nineteenth century. But I'm a bit confused as to how to interpret this, especially in terms of expansion and imperialism. The phrase "ideology supporting" also has me lost. Does this mean the same thing as motivation, or does it mean the more in-depth reasons for the motivations? I'm starting to think too much into this, so if anyone could get me back on track, I'd be thankful!

A. I think it's as simple as the intentions of expansionists vs. imperialists. Expansionists in US History were often concerned with the US moving into territory that was largely unoccupied, and usually in North America. Disregarding the Native Americans, they weren't really looking to take over areas already heavily populated or colonized. Manifest Destiny is a perfect example of what most expansionts wanted. They believed that the US should move into the Western half of North America, because it was "destiny" and georaphically logical for the US to span from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Imperialists, on the other hand, wanted to seize territory from already established countries or colonies. Take Hawaii for example, or Florida. In… [cont.]

A. Yes. The base game is required before you can purchase anything else. Expansion packs, as the name suggests, are created to expand on the game, but not provide the game itself. The Sims 2 core game can be bought by itself as a regular game, or as included in one of the following games: -The Sims 2 Special DVD edition: as stated, this comes with a special DVD -The Sims 2 Holiday Edition (2005 Edition): Also known as the Christmas Party Pack, this comes with holiday themed items -The Sims 2 Holiday Edition (2006 Edition): Comes with Happy Holiday Stuff.

A. That depends on your computer and how much cc you have. If you don't know how to find your systems specs, this will tell you how: Once you know your specs, here are the minimum requirements: Note: there are also recommended requirements. You can always list your system specs here and we can tell you if what you have is sufficient for more EPs. Since you're running Seasons, you shouldn't have any problem adding at least 1 or 2 more EPs. From my understanding, Seasons and Pets are the biggest resource hogs and are the most likely EPs to cause game slowdown and lag.

What were the positive and negative effects of expansion before the Civil War?

What were the positive effects of expansion? What were the negative effects? Ultimately, did expansion cause the Civil War?
Asked by mollyconnelly - Mon Dec 13 15:43:29 2010 - History - 1 Answers - Comments

A. One positive effect of the Louisiana Purchase was not only the acquisition from Napoleon of a large amount of land that for all intents and purposes doubled the size of the United States, but also kept a major war involving Spain, Britain and France on our soil from becoming a major problem. Interestingly enough, one negative effect of this expansion was the Civil War, so yes, expansion indirectly led to the Civil War. Look up the Missouri-Kansas border wars where pro-slavery and anti-slavery forces had a series of bloody encounters over the issue of slavery spreading westward with the expansion. Bleeding Kansas is a good search term to use.

Why does the expansion of the universe occur and why the expansion is not homogeneous?
Q. There is some evidence that the universe expands continuously. The distance between any two constellations increases day after day. If one constellation orbits another, a centrifugal force will be generated and may counter the gravity to make the two constellations move away from each other. Is it possible that centrifugal forces lead to the unstoppable expansion of the universe?--- The expansion of the universe is not homogeneous across the whole space. For example the average distance between the earth and the sun over a year remain the same from century to century, whereas the distance between any two constellations increases year after year. This means that our solar system does not expand albeit the whole universe expands at the… [cont.]

A. It is space itself that is expanding. I assume by constellations you mean galaxies (or in current parlance universes--spac e itself is called the cosmos). In smaller systems the so called force of gravity overcomes expansion (so, the Earth is not expanding, and neither are you). Whatever is causing expansion does so over large distances, and due to gravitational forces can be and is overcome (the great galaxy in the constellation Andromeda is approaching our galaxy, for example because it is so close that their mutual gravity intervenes). But over cosmic distances the expansion is everywhere, and the velocities are everywhere directly correlated to distance (thus the Hubble Constant of Recession).

So it's nice to have the expansion available if you want to add a better video, ethernet, or sound card. Or, you may buy the best top of the line model. If you have no room to make it better in the future, your machine will be out dated much sooner.

How to install expansion joints when pouring a concrete driveway?
Q. I am going to be installing a concrete driveway. I have tore out the excisting asphalt driveway and formed up for the concrete. How do I install the expansion joints? Do you pour the concrete in one pour and then use a saw and cut the concrete where the joints need to go in? How often do they need to be placed for a 17' by 78' driveway?
Asked by tgdesigns98 - Tue Aug 8 11:02:33 2006 - Do It Yourself (DIY) - 6 Answers - Comments

A. The expansion joints are formed either by you putting thin wooden slats in that leave slots, or, while you are smoothing the surface, you actually shape the slots with your trowel. Usually the individual section can be about 4' x 6', and larger if you use heavy duty steel grids to strengthen the concrete. With your measurements I would do one down the center, and the others at 6' to 8' intervals. Since this also depends on the quality of the concrete you'll use, you may want to double check that with your concrete supplier. Depending on the size of the vehicles you'll be running across that, I would think that you want at least a 6" thickness, and more if the underground isn't very hard and stable. Use one to two inch gravel as a base. [cont.]
