No.Alchemy is perceived to be a sort of magical equivalent to science, being able to turn elements into other elements. Nostrum is the same sort of magical equivalent for remedies, having no scientific proof of working but relying solely on what are perceived by many to be quack methods.WINNERS (and LOSER)===============penguinman - IErachima - IPostmaxanator - - MCMXISTANDINGS========1. penguinman - 32.

Treated as an expected receipt by planning systems, and classified as belonging to either the shipping or receiving entity based on the contracted freight terms for purposes of claims and inventory status.er... what? i dont get the relationship.

Well, you are kind of right in your reasoning, but you must be more specific. There are at least two others that have military connections as well.Your choice is wrong anyway. One more guess.

detritus:glaciers::silt:riversDetritus is generated by the motion of glaciers, silt by the motion of rivers. Also, both detritus and silt are types of eroded debris, while a glacier is essentially a frozen river.
