Science & Mathematics - 3 September 2006

Looking out of the window now, I cannot imagine being hot and bothered again this year, do you think we have seen the last of our little summer?
Oh I'm in the UK by the way!

Thanks to those that answer my guestion. Here's more infro about the problem. The ground does slope away from the well house (about 200 yds.) before it drops down the hill. I suggested putting in a inline 20 ft section of 3" pipe just at the point where the ground starts to drop off down the hill. Putting in a pressure switch with a higher cut-in and shut-off might be the best option if I knew where to get such a item (or if those do exist). A 40/60 pressure switch is the highest setting switch that I can find around here.

There are some small, very small, insects in my backyard. You can guarantee I can take photos of them every day. But, I have no idea what they are and I can't find any information about them.

They are like I said, very small. I have seen one bigger one before but not since. They look like wood, with two long antenae looking things at the back (on the rear that stick up in the air when you go near them) and as far as I can tell, they move backyards, forwards and side to side. They have six legs that I can see. It's rare for me to get a photo of their heads as they turn around straight away.

I have a picture but not sure if I should share it. I'm located in South East Queensland, Australia, if that helps at all and they are generally found on green leaves of all sorts.

I think that 1 isn't prime. Think of a triangle that stretches infinitely with 2 numbers at the bottom (Its upside down) add one and it collapses. I don't think it makes much sense but I had it in a dream and I can't remember it much.

Come on.... for as longs as most of us can remember its always been a planet since records began, so what gives these people the right over billions to change its status! They cant be that clever if they think it will actually catch on!

How do you solve the equation 4*ABCD=DCBA? ABCD is a number containing the whole numbers A, B, C and D.

While I am excited and looking forward to it , I am equally unsure about making the decision due to some nagging fear. Firstly, will I have the discipline necessary for part-time courses ? Next, will I get confused with the modular credit system ? After all, it has been more than fifteen years since I got my Bachelor’s degree from NUS. We did not have such system then. And, for the financial aspect, is this a worthwhile investment ? By the way, this Master course has recently allowed the students a choice to specialize in Mathematical Finance, which is the main reason why I am still attracted towards the course despite the nagging fear and worries.

A friend said I am over cautious. Do I really worry too much ?

What is your opinion ? Whether you have such experience or not, I look forward to reading your views. On top of that, if you ever had or are having the similar concerns, please share with me how you had or have overcome them.

Astologers were in a panic when they realised that what they do is a farce! Pluto apparently has a massive effect on our destinies yet Ceres, a much larger "planet" whos orbit is much closer to Earth than Pluto, has never featured on an astrological chart....Seems like a crock to me

Given recent events, I ask myself: Was this a freak accident or do people regularly get killed by these beasts?

could the 3rd theory be like a mixture of the 2 or creationism but without the story of adam and eve or creationism without god... could evolution actually not be progressive but ever changing... ie we dont necessarily evolve into better beings but the earth is actually in different states of flx depending on how we treat it.. (ie the butterfly effect if you know what i mean)..
