When walking on a rocky coastline, sometimes you find yourself impeded by straight, narrow, deep channels 1-2 metres across, that occur as a result of softer rock being eroded much faster than the surrounding rock. If you were to fall into one of these channels you might find it difficult to get out ahead of an oncoming tide! I don't think the word "channel" is the proper word, and I would like to know the correct definition for it and a web-link if possible.

The moon would be much brighter if it was the other way round

I have an idea. In the early days Neptune and Uranus almost hit each other. Uranus was thown on it's side and moons went flying all over the place. One went back to Neptune but in reverse rotation. One went in orbit round the sun (Pluto) And one fell it towards the sun and we captured it as our moon. After all the moon is much to big to belong to the earth

I have been told that the water pressure in a water line can be increased by installing a 20 - 30 ft section of a larger diameter pipe in the existing water line. I can see where it could be like installing a 'pressure tank' inline, but does it really work? I ask because my son brought a place where the well house is 1/4 mile from the house. The line to the house is 1 inch pvc. To make matters worse, water line goes down and back up a hill (approx. 60 ft fall, 70 ft rise). At the well house, the pump kicks off at 60 psi. At the house, water pressure is about 44 psi at the faucets. He doesn't want to put in a 1 1/2" water line. He was told about putting in a secton of larger pipe by a 'old timer' who installed water lines all of his adult life. The gentleman swears that it will work because he has done it before on numerous occassions.

I am thinking to use this as an alternative for improving the material handling system for a company study. The company can use forklifts or cranes and the products are C purlins (long beams for roofs about 6m) Can anyone explain to me how the forklift or cranes get the set of purlins or stack it in the rack cause I cant seem to imagine how that happens. The crane can get the one on the topmost part but how about if you want to get the one below not the topmost?

I know that usually people are stung by treading on stingrays and that these are infrequently fatal if otherwise very painful. But in order to get stung in the heart surely one would have to be swimming very close up to the creature and worrying it to the point at which it needs to defend itself. Or am I wrong?
