Question: What is the alternative to elephant culling? I know that elephant culling is mean, but what is the alternative? Please tell me the alternatives, not that 'they are no alternatives'.

Answer: Actually it is an alternative, it's called human culling. That means, if you reduce the human population you reduce the human impact on animal populations and there is more room for the animals.

Question: What is the difference between alternative schools and special schools? Many people always assume that only special needs students go to alternative schools when it's not true. Isn't it against the "least restrictive environment" to send special needs students to the alternative school? Shouldn't they go to a special school since it meets their needs? Alternative schools don't support special needs students well. They don't have speech or self-contained classes. What kind of parent would send their own special needs child to the alternative school that doesn't even meet their needs? The special school would be more appropriate. I thought alternative schools were schools that were nontraditional. I thought they provided a choice for students. Students aren't forced to go to alternative schools. It's something that they chose hence the name.

Answer: You are correct with your statement that parents with a special needs child should NOT send their child to an alternative school. Alternative schools are for those children that are at an impass and the public school system is looking for a way to put that child out of their school system. They explain it to the parents as a "way of helping their child" when in reality, it helps them...the school. The school will earn an A grade because they have less "special education" students in their school, who may not pass all the state tests...ie: FCATS. Special needs students should be placed in the public schools and have IEPs in place that met all the childs individual needs, as documented by their parents, teachers, physicians and social workers, physical therapist, speech therapists etc. Great question.

Question: What is the best way to learn alternative health techniques and practices? I have always been extremely interested in alternative health techniques and treatments. I am currently in a very good job that I am not really crazy about. I would like to move into the alternative health field and would like to eventually open a health food store and small health spa. I know it is a process but I want to know where I can start. As far as I know (and I could be wrong) there is no school to go to learn alternative health. I don't know where to start learning and how. Also for the learning process I need to work around my full time job as I don't have the option to not work as I need the income. I really want to start learning about this field and just need some suggestions on where and how to start. Is there perhaps a way to be like an apprentice to an alternative practitioner?

Answer: What about some books from a health store? An even better start is a web search in Yahoo for "alternative health techniques" that will yield at least 412 results including overviews of alternative health techniques and stacks of other useful information for you. Another useful search in Yahoo for "alternative health practices" will yield at least 2,888 results.

Question: What is an alternative to gesso for oil painting? I want a cheap alternative for gesso, with the same quality. If you are going to tell me gesso is cheap and affordable do not reply, I dont want to here about gesso, I want to hear about alternatives, or make my own primer recipes. I know where to buy gesso, but it is too expensive for my needs.

Answer: If you have chalk quarries nearby you could grind your own and add rabbit skin glue...if you can catch a rabbit.

Question: Can a down-alternative feather bed and comforter be washed in a standard washing machine? We have a full size down-alternative feather bed and down alternative comforter that need to be washed. Can we take them to the laundromat and put them in a standard wash over-sized washer, or do we need to have them dry cleaned? Neither of the tags have washing instructions. Thanks!

Answer: If the down-alternative is a synthetic fiber, you can wash it. If it's some kind of natural thing, have it dry cleaned. The tag should at least specify if it's a natural or synthetic filling.

Question: What are some alternative to yahoo answers? I have been having problems with yahoo answers such as them deleting my questions and answers with out due cause.

Question: What alternative energies can make the prices of food go down? I know that if you substitute alternative energies for oil then obviously that would go down but what kinds would make it go down? The only one i know of is wind mill.

Answer: Natural gas is a major component of nitrogen based fertilizers.

Question: What is the best alternative boils treatment available? I've tried everything on the market I think. I've heard that alternative medicines may have the answer. Are there any alternative or homeopathic boils treatment options out there that actually work?

Answer: Boils are a result of a poor immune system. They are infections, lodged deep under the skin, usually caused by some foreign object (like a hair or piece of wood or something) lodged under the skin. Bacteria finds the opening in the skin and attacks. If the immune system can't fight it, the infection festers and you end up with a boil. There are some very effective remedies for getting rid of and for preventing boils. Here is a Website: http://www.health-news-reports.com/Boils/BoilsTreatment.php that explains it pretty well and provides suggestions for alternative medicine boils treatment.

Question: Do you know any alternative sources of energy? I need to write at least 7 pages on alternative sources of energy. Could you please help me come up with a list of alternative sources of energy.

Answer: * Biofuels * Natural Gas * Wind Energy * Hydroelectric Power * Solar Energy * Hydrogen * Nuclear Energy

Question: Can anyone tell me the difference between Alternative and Popular Music? The problem is that whenever an alternative music becomes popular, then it's not alternative anymore, is it? Or does it remain the as alternative but with different popular genre? Now I AM confuse. Then how about explain to me the whole thing or throw me some links. Thanks. I need this for something so important.

Answer: If an alternative song becomes popular, it stays in the Alternative genre. "Popular" isn't really a genre, but a lot of people consider it to be one just because it's easier to generalize all (or most) of the current radio hits as such. For instance, when The Script started playing, they considered themselved to be in the Alternative genre. Their most popular song, Breakeven, plays on the radio a lot now, but that doesn't mean the STYLE of music is totally different now. It's all about the music's style, not necessarily about radio play. I hope I helped a little bit. :D

Question: What is the cleanest alternative fuel that has been discovered ? I know each alternative fuel comes with a price (as does everything). The extracting of hydrogen is supposedly not environmentally friendly, this being one of the prices of its implementation. I am not an expert on the subject though. Does anyone know what the cleanest alternative fuel available or that has been found is ? I also am wondering what some of the pros and cons of some of the others are. I suppose cleanest could mean one that is the most environmentally and economically friendly source available so far.

Answer: A hundred years ago it was electricity. In the early 1900's Henry Fords wife drove only Electric automobiles, she owned three I think....right through the thirties (what does that tell you) Check out this site for the early development of the electric car http://www.earlyelectric.com/ If we had not abandoned electric for the more readily obtainable gasoline in the early 1900's, and had we devoted the same amount or reach and development and with the always newer technologies through the years, I doubt we would ever have questions such as these

Question: What to study for alternative energy major? I am thinking of studying alternative energy in the future. What shoudl I major in, what classes should I take, and do alternative energy researchers make good money?

Answer: Researchers I've spoken to in alternative energy seem to make more or less the same amount of money as researchers in other fields. If you end up researching a 'soft' subject like geography or economics then you might be able to do some research into alternative energy - but it would be limited to studying things like its effect on society, and policies to encourage it. Any hard science, maths or engineering will give you the grounding you need for 'proper' research into the technology. Biologists can work on biofuels, chemists on biofuels and processing for things like solar panels. Engineers can work on anything and whilst a physics degree makes you particularly suited to solar power (provided you take the right modules in thermal & condensed matter/solid state physics), it gives you the tools to go into other areas too.

Question: What's the difference between Conventional, Conventional Alternatives, and Non-conventional energy alternative? I'm doing some research and have trouble distinguishing the difference between these three types of energy sources. So far, I have Conventional energy widely used/practical energy sources like oil, gas and coal. My assumption is that they're the primary 'standard' energy sources the world currently uses for their electricity and power since the industrial revolution. I'm having trouble with the next two energy sources.. Conventional Alternatives, I put that at energy sources that produce less environmental waste and could be used to replace conventional energy sources. An example would be biofuels being used to replace oil/gas for cars. I guess Nuclear power could go under this energy source as it could be used to replace coal in North America but places like France have 90% of their cities powered by Nuclear - would this mean it's a conventional energy source for France and a conventional alternative to North America? I don't know.. As for Non-conventional energy.. I put this at energy sources that produce the least amount of environmental waste but are completely unpractical to implement. My example would be hydrogen powered cars because there is no current infrastructure to support Hydrogen fuel gas stations if consumers were to buy them. I'm just purely guessing here - please share if you disagree or agree with my definition. Also If anybody knows what category other energy sources like wind, solar, and thermal energy belong to, I'll be super grateful.

Answer: Hey Fud, you have a bit of a mess there with definitions. Let me try to explain some of it. The term, "Conventional Energy," is basically what you have written already. In most cases, it refers to fossil fuel based energies. You have to be careful with this, I'll explain. Alternative Energy is any energy source that is used to replace a conventional energy source in order to offset the negative side effects of the conventional source. A simple example of this is switching from coal heat in an older home to natural gas. It is less polluting, more efficient, and costs less. Another example, however, was when coal became an alternative energy source for wood in industrial applications in the last century. So in a way, coal could fit into the category of alternative energy, depending on the context. Your next one, "Conventional Alternative," is not something I've ever heard thrown around in our circles here. It sounds like the news men who refer to airline pilots as, "Fully Qualified." Most of the airlines I know do not have any partially qualified ones hanging around, but still that phrase shows up on the news a lot. My guess is that coal alternative I just mentioned might be one of those, a conventional fuel used in an alternative way, but I would just be guessing too. I think Non conventional would be the same as Alternative. Conventional Alternative sounds like Jumbo Shrimp to me. The phrase you haven't mentioned is the one that is most common in our circles here, "Renewable Energy." This refers to any energy source that does not deplete with use, it, "renews itself," over time, hence the name. Solar, wind, hydro and geothermal are the ones I am familiar with. If you're wondering where I'm getting all this, it's because about 10 years ago we decided to convert our home over to wind and solar power. So our home would fit in the alternative category as well as the renewable category. People that grow their own tomatoes rather than buying them at the market know a great deal about soil ph, watering, sunlight and fertilizer, they have to. People that grow their own electrons instead of buying them from the power company have a similar curse, they want to know where each one comes from and where it's used. So in the end, you learn a bunch of stuff that you can't really use anyplace else. I suspect if you've been reading these things in popular periodicals like Popular Science, Home and Garden, or the newspaper, you're just getting caught up in their vernacular on the subject. If you want to go to the source, I will include some places below you can look for more information. Hope this helps. Good luck, and take care.
