» Prediction of River Flooding

I own pasture fields on the banks of a river in Dorset, England. In winter (our wet season) the river sometimes floods the surrounding floodplain, and it would be a great benefit to be able to predict this flooding the day before, so I can remove my sheep and cattle before they get distressed. I have a well about 300 yards from the river, and a raingauge at my home 2 miles from the river. Each day I record river level, watertable level and rainfall, and a graph of these variables can be seen on http://www.eyemead.com/bm-12.jpg Is it possible to use this graph to establish the river level as an approximate function of Watertable level and rainfall and time delay? The precise numbers involved over the previous 17 weeks are gi...... - 2009-07-04

» Do happy/successful people wake up earler than most?

Would like some sources to back up the following points: * Financially succesful people (top business executives, succesful entrepreneurs) tend to rise early. * Happy peolple tend to rise early.My experience is exactly opposite to the claim. I would say Organized and/or Methodical people rise early but it is not necessary they are succesful. Organized and/or Methodical people do have a higher chance of getting succesful.No matter how successful I was, I would not be happy if I had to be an early riser. If I get up too early, the entire day is a painful experience. In fact, I've sometimes defined my career goal as being able to get up when I want to.

I have a question I have a friend and he's 35 his doctor said he cant have any children after running some test on him. The doctor told him that he cant produce sperm but he can produce semen only. Is this possible what the doctor told him that he could only produce semen and not sperm is that possible. Thanksyes, it's possible. as we say in laymen's term on the street, "he's shooting blanks". If a man is sterile, he will produce semenial fluid without sperm. No sperm - can't father children.

» What are some actions that you can take to challenge and transform racial lines and hierarchies in our society?

Racism has been around since the dawn of civilization. Its a natural aspect of society. I think that as mankind becomes more advanced and self-sufficient, and education starts to be accessible to even the poorest and ignorant people, racism will become less prevalent. We really need to spend more money on children's education, the root of the problem.End your support for the political party that has institutionalized racism in America. Demand an end to racial perks and preferences in govt hiring, scholarships, loans and immigration. A Vietnam era anti-war poster read, "Fighting to end war is like f##cking to end love".

» Ethnic violence has no life without the media. defend this?

ethnic violence in countries with different traditions from different communitiesDefend it? I disagree with it. Some of the worst ethnic violence in modern history was not reported on by the media at the time it was taking place and isn't even addressed by historians with any real accuracy because those doing the violence don't want the truth to be known about their actions. In the cases where the media is present and is allowed to report on these violent conflicts, the number of deaths is almost always extremely low in comparison to when they are not present. You are about 90 percent right in my opinion, the media keeps this alive today because they know we will watch it and they will make money, but there are still parts...... - 2009-07-04

» Can disk brakes be fitted in any cycle? i hav hercules ryders act 104?

yes they can, you can replace the disk at your local shop, and get a new hydrolic part. It's pretty simple.While I am not familiar with that brand here in the US, the answer is still the same: no. The frame must have a mount for the caliper on the rear of the frame and the fork. The wheels must have a flange to mount the disc itself. If you have all of those things and you want to convert, make sure you go up to hydraulic disc brakes. Just like for cars, hydraulic units are just superior. Mechanical units really don't offer any advantages over traditional bicycle brakes.The Hercules is an Indian bike, which sells for the equivalent of a little over $100 USD.

» How does aeroplane fly?

How does Aeroplane fly?Read John Denker's "See How It Flies A new spin on the perceptions, procedures, and principles of flight. " http://www.av8n.com/how/ An aeroplane flies because air moving over and under its surfaces, particularly its wings, travels at different velocities, producing a difference in air pressure, low above the wing and high below it. The low pressure exerts a pulling influence, and the high pressure a pushing influence. The lifting force, usually called lift, depends on the shape, area, and tilt of the wing, and on the speed of the aircraft. The shape of the wing causes the air streaming above and below the wing to travel at different velocities. The distance over which the air must travel above the curved upper...... - 2009-07-04

Another great Bloomberg report... http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1162378483166&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull Nov. 26, 2006 9:42 By JASON GALE, BLOOMBERG (editors@jpost.com) A severe influenza pandemic would cost the US $623 billion, or about 60 times more than an average flu season, and "constitute a major global recession," the World Bank said. Economists at the Washington-based World Bank estimated a contagion capable of killing more than 1 percent of people worldwide could cause losses of $1.5 trillion to $1.8 trillion globally. The spread of the H5N1 avian influenza strain has put the world closer to another pandemic than at any time since 1968, when the last of the previous century's three major outbreaks oc...... - 2009-07-04

Experts, tests to swat chikungunya rumour RESHAM MUKHERJEE Dhanbad, Aug. 31 The district health department has summoned experts to disprove claims of chikungunya having affected people here. The health department called in the state’s entomologists — zoologists who study about insects — to collect samples of Aedes aegypti mosquito. The insect is known to be a carrier of the virus that leads to chikungunya. A team of four headed by a central government-appointed expert were called in after some mediapersons had asked the civil surgeon to explain the reasons for some deaths that had occurred due to an unknown viral disease. The information was demanded under the Right to Information Act. The team collected the samples from interio...... - 2009-07-04

Hi guys I'm having this problem with flash that I have never seen before. I have 6 frames of high res pictures 1600x1200. These pictures are needed to make a zoom out effect of a die. When the user presses a button, the first of these 6 frames is showed, than the second, third, ... on the sixth frame, I start a new animation which rotates the dice in 3D. I need this 6 frames. When I run the animation the frame rate is very low and then speeds up. No, it's not an easing effect because when I run the animation of the 6 frames standalone, the first time the animation shows, the frame rate is very low.

» Is a WPA-TKIP encryption safe for wireless, along with a security/network key?

How worried should I be about people getting into my files? WPA-TKIP is not the most secure wireless option these days, but is far superior to WEP. There's only one thing to know about WEP - it should be used ONLY as a last resort! WEP is very easy to crack, so once the hackers (or malicious neighbours or "war drivers") have got into your home wifi network, they'll potentially be able to access everything on your home network - all your laptops and/or PCs connected to your router (whether connected by wifi or network cable), and your internet connection. But I digress... The most secure option these days is WPA2-AES. However, older routers and wifi-enabled devices may not support WPA2. But it's worth checking the suppor...... - 2009-07-04

Is there a way that the context switching time for a Windows XP Tablet PC machine can be adjusted? Would changing it be simple, like altering a registry setting, e.g., something like: [H_KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\ACPI] "allowed_clock_cycles_before_preempting_a_thread"=dword:00030000 ? Or would changing the switching time be hard, like entailing changing a byte in a binary? If the latter (the hard case), what Windows XP file would need to be changed? Would using a simple a binary editor work? Or would the binary that controls the context switching time no longer be signed and simply not run under SP2?

Say I wanted to start a hosting company (yeah right :rolleyes: ), and in enticing new customers to join up, I would buy 50 owned licenses for $5300 (I wish I had that much :rolleyes: ) ($106 each), and resell them at $130 each ($30 less than the usual owned license). Is that legal? Would the licenses expiration date start from the purchase date, or from the time I resold them?This is a question that you need to send to sales@vbulletin.comPersonally I think, if you buy 50 owned licenses, and if you don't sell any of them for a year, you'll have to renew them yourself, all of them. which would cost you $30 each!

Yesterday Germany played against Argentina in Düsseldorf. Match ended in a 2-2 draw. "Hitz" started on the unfamiliar leftback position where he had some problems with Saviola. Though his passing game was nice the overall-performance was not that good in an otherwise well performing team. The last 15 minutes Christian Schulz (LB) was substituted so that Thomas was able to move forward and play the last quarter of an hour as right midfielder. Btw, his contract runs out this summer and some Bundesliga teams are interested (at least Stuttgart, Hamburg, Bremen).

Quick question: I know you can use "*" to signify "any characters" and "?" to be a wildcard for a single character, but can you search for one keyword and NOT another, like "Ali !Clay" to get pages that have the word "Ali" but NOT "Clay" on them? And if so, what's the character to use, because "!" and "NOT" don't work.Exclusion searches are one of the new features in the upcoming Version 4.2 release. This allows you to perform searches like "Ali -Clay" by using the negative sign to precede the search term that you wish to exclude.

Figs are considered a "keystone" species because they are so important to the animals of the rainforest. This is so because figs bear fruit several times a year. Different species of figs fruit at different times so that there is always a supply of food for animals that depend on fruit as a major part of their diet.

Do you think that Udinese will choke in the CL Qualifying Round?I think it will depend on who they draw. Udinese have such a low UEFA Club Coefficient that they will most likely be unseeded in the 3rd round draw. That means that they could face a team like Manure or Monaco. But if they get lucky and draw an easier opponent, I think they'll have a decent chance of advancing to the group stage.It also depends on how many of their top players get sold, and it doesn't help that they'll have a new coach to get used to. That's the other variable, of course. They still need to find a replacement for Spalletti.Hm,I don't know.Udinese doesn't have lucky in Europe.Last UEFA Cup,when I saw them name Panionios I told to myself that woul be easy,but....... - 2009-07-04

However I'm not completely convinced that the difference will be that noticeable.

So would a 50mm prime really produce much better pictures than my 17-85 at 50? Or the L series at 70? And if yes, is there a massive difference between the f1.4 and the f1.8, other than the price...

i mean, he built the tower of babel, but why was that a bad thing? Im not starting a debate, i jsut dont know why lol. Who's a Nimrod? What's a Nimrod? Actually, Nimrod was punished for his EVIL; and the name today is one who is stupid and/or evil.... Gen 10:8 And Cush begat Nimrod,.... Besides the other five sons before mentioned; and probably this was his youngest son, being mentioned last; or however he is reserved to this place, because more was to be spoken of him than of any of the rest. Sir Walter Raleigh (i) thinks that Nimrod was begotten by Cush after his other children were become fathers, and of a later time than some of his grandchildren and nephews: and indeed the sons of Raamah, the fourth son of Cush, are ta...... - 2009-07-04

» Fiorentina vs Juventus [R] Match Thread

With the Coppa adventure over and only salvation to play for, this has to rank as the biggest match of the year for Fiorentina. At least for their fans who have a hatred of Juventus (even moreso than most other teams' fans do). The week's delay helped Miccoli recover somewhat from his Achilles tendon injury but is apparently not set to go 90 minutes and should start on the bench. I wouldn't be hugely surprised to see him on the field though given the nature of this match, but Fantini and youngster Pazzini are expected to start up front. It's a big game for ex's - in addition to Miccoli, Chiellini and Maresca will start while Angelo Di Livio is expected to be on the bench for the Viola. Cejas continues to keep Lupatelli out of the lineup...... - 2009-07-04
