Moderate Syrian Christians appear to generally support Assad remaining in power, along with the majority of Alawites (Shia Muslims). As one Christian woman put it:

Look what has happened in Iraq and now in Egypt…Assad in power means that won’t happen here.

Both secular and religious Sunnis have also expressed support for Assad or, at least, opposition to the rebels who have arrived since April of 2012, which coincided with the significant increase in casualties:

Buses range, typically, from $2000 to $3000 to rent, per day. But for a band, you need the deluxe one with beds and a mobile kitchen, right? So why not just buy one? Try a price anywhere from $100,000 to several million dollars.

Those hotels? Even if you stayed at a $200 a night hotel, each 5 members in a different room, every night of the year, you would spend some $365,000.

The famed producer of Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit and drummer for Garbage was in high demand in the 1990s. He used his notoriety, close in fame to Rick Rubin at the time, to charge exorbitant fees.

A third option has appeared, especially in the rap era: a third party buying out a contract. Even if a promissory note exists, the legality of which depends on the state, many rival labels will offer the host label a massive sum to rent our buy out a band. For the original label, it is a direct influx of cash at no loss.

While possible, this is not quite guaranteed – the data is not robust enough to support the hypothesis through to accepted science. One cannot take a hypothesis in one part of a sentence, then assert it as fact just a few words later.

The reason that so many announcements of “Voyager leaving the solar system” have cropped up in the past year is because of this issue: the sun’s effects are evident, to some degree, far beyond what can be called the solar system. Because of this, everyone uses a vastly different measure – NASA uses one lightyear as the distance, while others use a ratio of particle origin. Essentially, there is no real line, and thus, no firm determination.

Most people black out at 4-6Gs. Astronauts train for a little more than that, generally up to 9G. Outside of that, death and serious injury are the only reactions. A human cannot even process a 400G force – it is not within the scale of human experience.
