A:all of the great confederations of steppe warriors were ethnically homogenous, so the same name was used by different groups for reasons of prestige, or by outsiders to describe their lifestyle or geographic origin. [...] It is therefore easy to speculate about identity or blood relationships between H(s)iung-nu, Hephthalites, and Attila's Huns, for instance. We can safely say that the name "Huns", in late antiquity, described prestigious ruling groups of steppe warriors. B:Did all steppe warriors have the same geographical roots? Answer: gym

A:Low-drag conformal fuel tanks (CFTs) were developed for the F-15C and D models. They can be attached to the sides of the engine air intakes under each wing and are designed to the same load factors and airspeed limits as the basic aircraft. These tanks slightly degrade performance by increasing aerodynamic drag and cannot be jettisoned in-flight. However, they cause less drag than conventional external tanks. Each conformal tank can hold 750 U.S. gallons (2,840 l) of fuel. These CFTs increase range and reduce the need for in-flight refueling. All external stations for munitions remain available with the tanks in use. Moreover, Sparrow or AMRAAM missiles can be attached to the corners of the CFTs. The 57 FIS based at Keflavik NAS, Iceland, was the only C-model squadron to use CFTs on a regular basis due to its extended operations over the North Atlantic. With the closure of the 57 FIS, the F-15E is the only variant to carry them on a routine basis. CFTs have also been sold to Israel and Saudi Arabia. B:Does it sound like a fighter pilot is making a trade-off when choosing CFT's (which presumably have less drag than wing tanks) over drop tanks carried under the wing when going into combat, choosing higher performance with the tanks against the ability to decide when and if to drop weight during a dogfight?

A:For Ingres, colour played a primary role in art. He wrote, "Colour adds more than ornament to a painting; it is everything but the handmaiden, all it does is to render the true perfections of the art. Rubens and Van Dyck can be pleasing at first sight, but they are deceptive; they are from the school of colourists, the school of deception. Always use bright colours, they are anti-historic. It is better to fall into bright colors than to into grays." The Institute in Paris complained in 1838 that the students of Ingres in Rome "had a depth of knowledge of the truth and power of colour, and a knowledge of the different effects of light. A vibrant and clear effect is found in all their canvases. They seem to have been lit by twilight." The poet and critic Baudelaire observed: "the students of M. Ingres have included any semblance of colour; they believe or pretend to believe that they are most needed in painting." B:Is it likely that Ingres would have preferred a highly technical black and white sketch over a bright and colorful painting? Answer:
