In college, the ''flagrant collision'' rule discourages, but does not prohibit, collisions at home plate and on the bases. Instead, only ''unnecessary and violent'' collisions are outlawed. While defensive players are allowed to block the plate/base with clear possession of the ball, offensive players must take steps to ensure contact with the fielder is legal--for instance, it must be below the waist. Violations of this rule carry similar penalties to the high school malicious contact rule.

can you block the plate in college baseball?

A: yes

Superfecundation is the fertilization of two or more ova from the same cycle by sperm from separate acts of sexual intercourse, which can lead to twin babies from two seperate biological fathers. The term superfecundation is derived from fecund, meaning the ability to produce offspring. Heteropaternal superfecundation refers to the fertilization of two separate ova by two different fathers. Homopaternal superfecundation refers to the fertilization of two separate ova from the same father, leading to fraternal twins. While heteropaternal superfecundation is referred to as a form of atypical twinning, genetically, the twins are half siblings. Superfecundation, while rare, can occur through either separate occurrences of sexual intercourse or through artificial insemination.

is possible for twins to have different dads?

A: yes

Blind baking can be accomplished by different methods. In one technique, the pie crust is lined with aluminium foil or parchment paper, then filled with pastry- or pie weights (sometimes called ''baking beans'') to ensure the crust retains its shape while baking. Pie-weights are available as ceramic or metal beads, but rice, dried peas, lentils, beans or other pulses can be used instead. When using this method for a fully baked crust, the weights are removed before the pre-baking is complete in order to achieve a browned crust. Another technique dispenses with weights by placing a second pie tin on top of the crust, then inverting the tins to bake. In this method, the crust browns between the tins. A further simplified technique involves piercing the crust repeatedly with the tines of a fork to produce small holes, allowing steam to escape and preventing the crust from bubbling up, but that does not work with soft doughs such as pate sucree.

can you use tin foil to blind bake?

A: yes

The location of the wreck is a considerable distance from the location transmitted by the ship's wireless operators before she went down. The initial location was given as 4144N 5024W / 41.733N 50.400W / 41.733; -50.400 (RMS Titanic's initial reported position), 20.8 miles (33.5 km) from the wreck. A corrected location was later transmitted as 4146N 5014W / 41.767N 50.233W / 41.767; -50.233 (RMS Titanic's corrected reported position), but this too was inaccurate, by 13.2 miles (21.2 km). Titanic is in two main pieces 370 miles (600 km) south-east of Mistaken Point, Newfoundland. The bow is located at 414357''N 495649''W / 41.73250N 49.94694W / 41.73250; -49.94694 (Position of RMS Titanic's bow section)Coordinates: 414357''N 495649''W / 41.73250N 49.94694W / 41.73250; -49.94694 (Position of RMS Titanic's bow section) and the stern is about 1,970 feet (600 m) to the south at 414335''N 495654''W / 41.72639N 49.94833W / 41.72639; -49.94833 (Position of RMS Titanic's stern section). The boilers found by Argo, which mark the point at which the ship went down, are about 600 feet (180 m) east of the stern at 414332''N 495649''W / 41.72556N 49.94694W / 41.72556; -49.94694 (Position of RMS Titanic boilers located by Argo).

did they ever find the other half of the titanic?

A:
yes
