I'm going to buy a telephoto lens attachment that is rated at 1.5x. What would be my new optical zoom? 7.5x or 9x...
I'm just wondering.

I recently watched a programme on BBC TV about the Gunfight at the OK Corrall. The programme attempted to de-mythologise the incident and was historically based, using transcripts of the murder trial against the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday which followed the shoot out. I was interested to see that the (not guilty) verdict was brought in by the judge alone, sitting without a jury. Was that normal practise at the time? Was it anything to do with the fact that Arizona was still a territory, rather than a state?

I'm interested in this, both as a retired lawyer and because my mother's elder sister was married to a Mr. Earp! But in Norlfolk, England!

The list below is written by David Gould. I'd like to know your thoughts about it. Is it true? Do you agree with the different points or disagree? Would you like to change the order in the list? Do you think this affects what people in law enforcement think, or are they trained to look beyond it? How about other lines of work where people judge the situation based on what they are told? Other thoughts? Opinions?

1) You tend to believe most strongly that which you hear first.

2) If you change, it will most likely be to that which you hear repeated many times.

3) You next tend to believe that which you want to believe or that which fits your already conceived ideas or notions.

4) Lastly, humans are least likely to believe that which is logical and makes sense, especially if it contradicts what they hear most!

could you guys point out which era the West outpowered the remaining world, and how could it be possible?

-Middle East
Ancient Persia was as powerful as Rome...(possibly stronger on their best days). Islam Empire had been way superior to Europe in every way during 8th~14th century.

-China & India
Since fall or Rome Empire, China and India had been the most powerful, rich, advanced (technolony), and populated countries in the world. Only Islam empire at their highest could outpower these two Asian giants

-----------------------------------------------------------
The west was hardly a civilization compared to above those three...Until the Renaissance (14th~16th century), the west was even inferior to easter Europe, which was also born by succeeding Rome...

I bet nobody in the world (not even Europeons themselves) could expect Europe to be the superpower qonquering the whole world....how could this be possible?

'That knowledge is the highest good for men. If one KNOWS what is right, he will choose to do the right thing and he will do it. No man is voluntarily bad'.

PLEASE DO NOT BOTHER TO ANSWER IF YOU WERE NOT BORN BLIND, OR WERE BORN BLIND AND THEN GAINED SIGHT. (And please state if you were at the beginning of your answer...because I will categorically ignore you if you don't qualify.)

I understand that some people who are born blind can, through modern technology, gain the ability to see.

If they can gain the ability to see later in life, it would suggest that their brain was capable of receiving SOME kind of visual stimulus beforehand (indicating that the problem was in their eyes, not their brains' synapses).

So can any people who ARE BLIND NOW or WERE BLIND AND HAVE RECOVERED tell me if they experienced colors before they gained their sight in dreams or in LSD trips (and simply didn't recognize it)?

Please explain your overview on Aristotle's view on virtue as he characterized it as " a disposition, or habit, involving deliberate purpose or choice, consisting in a mean that is relative to ourselves, the mean being determined by reason, or as prudent man would determine it."

Thank you for sharing your brilliant ideas.

This thought makes my mind explode...:) Just can't imagine how is it that it goes and goes and goes and never ends? Who said that it never ends? I guess, the one who also doesn't know it for sure:) There just must be something beyond it! It is easier to think like this... What is your opinion? What's there?

In Plato's view of good and evil, he believed that man may live a JUST life- the highest good for man, even if he is held down by the body and that body remains in a world of changing shadows of real things. To Him anything that is spontaneously changing is evil.
He then held that this can be achieved (just/good life) if the rational part of man (reason) will take control over these two more parts consisting a man.
What are these two more parts, besides reason that consist man according to Plato? And what are their functions?

Thank you for your time in sharing your intelligible ideas.
