my question is serious, instead of manufacturing arms and then a phoney war to use them, HOW MANY SOLAR PANELS ( AND JOBS MAKING THEM ) COULD THE WEST HAVE PROVIDED WITH THE VAST AMOUNT OF MONEY SPENT ON WARFARE.
I heard a figure of $2billion a week and thought the money might have been better spent making our own electricity/power rather than raping an innocent country of their resources. surely it equates to 1 million solar panels a week and jobs lost in the arms industry would be replaced by jobs making solar panels and associated products/services?
Anyone out there got any SENSIBLE opinions?
Anyone done the maths to see if my theory stands up?
I'll expect the usual PRO-US abuse, but history is already proving the futility immorality & failure of the phoney war on terrorism.
I am British and paying a fortune to heat/light my humble home, as well as paying immense taxes to send my friends sons off to be killed in an illegal war.
Id rather be paying for solar panels on my house

I have a 5.5kW 3 phase motor (415v) on a vacuum pump.
We have measured the amps on each phase with a clamp meter and have found two phases are around 9 amps whilst the third is measuring 10.6 amps. The motor is configured in Star (one strap across three of the terminals).

Is this difference enough to cause a problem?
What would the problem be? Noisy, alternating speed??
The motor name plate states amps as 13.5. Will this be full load current? Typically how many amps would you expect a motor to draw if the full load current was 13.5 amps.

Any help very much appreciated as we are going to begin dismantling the vacuum pump any minute now and don't want to if the motor is suspect. Still got Christmas shopping to do / start!

Thanks in advance.

I mean, I may like someones personality a lot, but so may a lot of other people.

I might be attracted to the Queen of England, but obviously I am not on her standards.

so how do you think it works out?

have you ever been attracted to someone that you just have to say, okay, i accept that I am not up to par with that one, I like them, but i have to find me one that is more on my level ?

Thanks :-)

“Angel of God”

Angel of God you are rare
Angel are you out there?
Angel do you care?
Angel I feel bare

Angel bring me to my feet
Make me stand
Make me fly
Make me soar above this sorrow
Angel that I want to meet

Angel of God you’re my friend
My protector till the end
I wish I could see you
I wish I didn’t need you
Angel we have heard on high

Angel help me to be strong
Give me guidance sent from God
Give me faith to build my spirit
Give me warmth to soothe my chills
Angel tell me I am loved

Angel take me with you
Take me high above the clouds
Take me to those golden gates
Take me to a place filled with love
Angel take me home to my fathers open arms

Angel are you listening?
Bring me to my feet
Make me stand
Make me fly
Make me soar above this sorrow
Angel that I want to meet

If I was in any muslim/jewish country, I would celebrate their religious holidays (apart from fasting, but I would do the big meal/party at the end)
I've done thanksgiving, diwali and dasara, hogmonay, st.patricks and even burn's night.
not having a tree/turkey/presents is like cutting your nose off to spite your face.
why dont they join in? its the national tradition. It comes across as rude.

what about the people who got affected of the consequences of sins committed? like for example, the "repentant" spread lies and made up stories about another person that ruined that person's reputation, would God overlook that consequence in favor of that "sinner" who damaged that person's name?

how does God serve Justice to ALL people equally, regardless of their beliefs?
