	Altar stone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Roman Catholicism, an altar stone is a solid piece of natural stone, consecrated by a bishop.
		This reflected the idea that the altar was the key element, and the church was built to house it, as opposed to the church being built and simply supplied with an altar as part of its furniture.
		Parish churches and cathedrals should have a consecrated altar, however, still made of stone, though the ceremonies for the consecration are somewhat simplified.

	Stone (weight) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A stone is a unit of mass in the Imperial system of weights and measures used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and most Commonwealth countries.
		Potatoes, for example, were traditionally sold in stones or half-stones (14-pound or 7-pound quantities).
		In the United States and Canada, where stone as a unit of weight is generally unknown, people would normally describe themselves as weighing "158 pounds" (using the same amount of weight as in the previous example).

	mass
		When the flexible dart is accelerated by the atlatl the point mass at the opposite end of the dart resists that acceleration and causes the dart to flex and compress, storing spring energy to be used for the launch.
		The fact is stone is not predominantly used in the manufacture of projectile points because of its durability, convenience, or its ability to pierce hide and flesh.
		It is the mass of stone points which must be more carefully analyzed in order to gain a more complete understanding of the entire weapon from which it was once an integral part.

	Mass weight conversion program - kg - pounds - ounce - gram
		The kilogram is the unit of mass; it is equal to the mass of the international prototype of the kilogram.
		Early the kilogram was defined as the mass of a cubic decimeter water.
		The mass has a strange unit, because in the unit is a prefix.

		Relative to the Earth, the stone is at rest in you hand.
		Although gravity is acting to pull the stone towards the Earth (where most of the matter in the vicinity is located), your hand exerts an equal force in the opposite direction.
		For orbiting objects of significant mass, the effects of both forces must be analyzed.

	A Taxonomy of Mass Privatization by Saul Estrin and Robert Stone
		Mass privatization injects sufficient liquidity into an economic system to enable the transfer of state ownership to private individuals, and it limits the inflationary impact by ensuring that the credits cannot be used directly to finance consumption.
		In 1995, a supplementary mass privatization program was introduced involving the distribution of coupons that could be exchanged for company shares of POF shares, following which the POFs are to be transformed into financial investment companies.
		While mass distribution to the population, combined with no tradability, together with waves in privatization, helped to disperse ownership, the funds are playing key roles; they are compulsory in Poland and, though only encouraged in the Czech legislation, were given potency by effective advertising.

		Dump the stone to its full course thickness, measured perpendicular to the slope, in one operation and in such manner that the earth slopes will be disturbed as little as possible.
		Placement of the stone in layers parallel to the existing slope will not be permitted nor will placing by chutes, or dumping on top and allowing to roll down the slopes, or similar methods that could cause segregation of the various sizes of rock, be allowed.
		The quantity of dumped stone slope protection to be paid for will be measured in cubic yards (cubic meters) using the theoretical lines and grades indicated on the details in the plans, and computed by the average endarea method.

		The heat generated by the fire is channeled through the flue maze, heating the stone mass.
		Once heated this stone mass regenerates a gentle heat for hours pushing warm air upward and drawing the cool air toward the masonry heater to be reheated.
		Because of the mass, a complete foundation is built in the basement to support the several tons of tile, brick and stone.

	The Stone of Ubbo
		He eased the stone onto the bed of the truck with a feeling of deep satisfaction, for anticipation was so keen that he was already congratulating himself on the work he would soon accomplish.
		Once the stone was safely transported to his humble hilltop studio, the sculptor immediately set to work on it, chipping away more and more extraneous material with each successive blow of the hammer on the chisel.
		On his work bench, a meaningless stone mass was discovered by the villagers, who had always considered the quiet, reclusive artist an undesirable and potentially dangerous misfit who would never contribute anything of value to their community.

	Effects of Stone Projectile Points
		In testing the mass of the points on a digital scale, allthree projectile points were found to weigh essentially the same at 7.6, 7.7, and 7.8 grams, respectively.
		Also, stone was not predominately used in the manufacture of projectile points because of its durability, convenience, or it's ability to pierce hide and flesh.

		The mass of free cholesterol crystals formed (CCMf) in supersaturated model biles is inversely related to the increases in dry weight of the gallstones.
		The mass of CCMf in the model bile samples correlated inversely with the increases in the dry mass of the stones.
		Note that the cholesterol crystals at the surface of the stones either after growth in model bile (D) or after harvest from native bile (E), are plates with similar thickness, similar spacing, and similar structure of the edges.

Stone became close with elderly John Howland (1757-1854), a Revolutionary War veteran, amateur historian and civic leader, which led to Stone's appointment as the volunteer cabinet keeper (librarian) of the Rhode Island Historical Society from 1851 to 1880, the service for which he is best remembered today.

	ANCIENT MINDS IN ANCIENT TIMES The dowsing ability of ancient people---Ron Perry
		The polarity of mass is probably the first subject to look at as it covers not only the size but also the alignment of some structures and in one example it seems to link with the polarity of plants.
		Most standing stones have a surrounding mass of small stones rammed in around the base that are thought to be there to support the monolith but, if in contact with it in a soft soil surround, they become part of the overall mass and were probably used to tune it to the original requirement.
		When it was found that changing the mass of the stone would alter the quality of the energy lines connected to it and it’s influence on the Earth Energy system, it was decided to experiment to find the basic laws that may apply to it.

		The notion of force separated from the mass came from ancient and familiar experiences of pushing on stones with one's hand, etc. In this primitive case the force-creating agent (i.e., the hand) is certainly separate from the affected mass (i.e., the stone).
		But the "force on the stone" is actually the force created of and with the stone.
		Because of this archaic error, today's physics can only define a mass in terms of its resistance to a disturbing force, and it can only define a force in terms of its overcoming a resisting mass.
