My two pence worth... The world has not changed. The world is exactly the same now as it was in the beginning. Look at the wild life world population and ask if they have changed over long periods of time! You'll find that they have not. Now look at the most (so called) intelligent life on the planet, us the human race. We've hated each other created wars and world wars against each other, we tried and tried to reinvent the wheel many times to sort of get one over on each other, like I'm better than you attitude. We as the human race has caused each other nothing but suffering over time and had to fight off serious pandemics along the way, and the latest one now COVID-19 is another war, which the National Health Services are the front line soldiers fighting this war on our behalf. Up to the 18th April over 6500 people have died on a world scale from this virus and according to data I've read its not actually plateau out at this time. This is the human races next war, the invisible killer that is killing off our most previous people, the health services, and if we loose all those the human race would then be left to their own devices, which amounts to no defense at all. We seriously need to stop and think about this, the world has not changed, but human attitude has, and not for the better.

As I have advised previously about this subject, I'm no expert or deemed to have any professional understanding of this subject, but a research medical journal I read advised back in 2017 about corona virus and trials that were being carried out back then. You start to get to a point that you hear people on the TV in the medical world with a lifetime of experience trying to advise you things that they are being told to keep their mouths shut about. Two doctors on the TV recently tried to speak out about this virus and one doctor was told to shut up and could not say what he wanted, and the other doctor had contracted the virus and since has past away. Recent information I've read had this to say about the corona-virus going back as far as 2017; Ivermectin Lab tests performed by Australian researchers showed that this anti-parasitic drug stopped the coronavirus growing in cell cultures within 48 hours. This widely available drug has already been shown to be effective against other viruses including HIV, dengue, flu and Zika. Ivermectin is already approved by drug regulators and is widely available although it would have to be trialled in patients before becoming an accepted therapy.

Thanks, it's something to do with the instructions when using a calculator that I'm not understanding. I have a Casio fx-85GT plus, and a TI30XA Texas calculator and both books for me don't make it clear how to use the memory function for more than one operation on the same calculation. I had similar results to your previous ones myself but your last result is correct, however, it won't work on these calculators I have for some reason!

May I start by saying this is not a college course. In GB now we are expected to carryout about 3 hrs per year CPD training with regards to our jobs, its a government requirement. I see the benefits of it as our vehicles are all fast becoming high voltage electric vehicles which are or can be very dangerous in the wrong hands. I am a qualified auto-electrician by trade and been in the job some 30 years, but not as a specialist as I carryout other areas of work routinely. So I'm doing some research and I have been refreshing my understanding of determining resistances in parallel circuits. I like knowing I can work mathematics out on paper rather than using a calculator, but having half a dozen calculators I can't seem to get the understanding of this calculation where the author is using a calculator but does not tell us what make and model it is! It is a simple enough calculation but the author shows it like this; 1 divided by 3 M+ 1 divided by 4 M+ 1 divided by 6 M+ divided M_RC = I know the answer on paper is 1.33 ohms but using calculators I can't get anywhere near that solution. I have books on the calculators I have but they don't show how that type of sum is work out! Has the author missed some steps?

Multiply that figure by millions of vehicles produced and replacements when required. I think you be surprised that a big difference will be seen in costs to the manufacturer.

It certainly doesn't look like anyone wholeheartedly believes in an Almighty God, which is probably the most realist idea of why earth we live on is so plagued with so many problems.

My understanding from past research completed over the years understood that God is not ignorant to what is going on, at the beginning of human life Satan was to have supposedly said to God that mankind will only ever turn to you when they want something, like a type of selfish desire. Does that not sum up the human race? However there are some areas I don't profess to understand. Job from the bible was supposed to be the best imperfect model of a man we had and every test Satan put upon him he past. It is said that Jesus was sent to "balance" the scales of life that we lost. I'm to understand that imperfect man cannot balance the scales so that God will not communicate with mankind except through his written word the bible. It is also said that God has set a time for putting things right, but that time is not recorded so we don't actually know when it is. it is also said that it does not matter that much what man thinks because he is imperfect, but that what he holds true in his heart that God can read without your permission.

They would have been there but not imbalanced to the extent they are now. Humans were not the first life on the planet.

Interesting reading peoples views, understandings and misunderstandings regards scriptural knowledge, but one thing always stands out to me, and that is nobody seems to take the time out to do the research to prove to themselves why all the problems are here in the first place!

I forgot to mention here, people don't get locked up, they are not prisoners and should not be treated like dirt under peoples feet. We're all in this together, and if the boat sinks, we all sink together. My boss at the end of March told us that we were not to attend work from the week after Monday, he did not say whether we would receive any money the week after or not. To date we've had no acknowledgement from the company about money and I've recently learned that the government are looking at paying us up to 80% of our wages from the end of April. If we have no funds to live on, how to we live to then? People who live day to day or week to week don't really need to worry about COVID-19 as hunger will kill them before the end of April.

I'm no expert in this subject at all, and if it were not so affecting humans to the degree it is worldwide, I'd probably of never had an interest to look in on the subject at all, however, that said, I think that some serious questions must be raised to ALL world leaders after this COVID-19 is resolved, if it can be resolved as Russian indicate that it might never be resolved.

A lot is now being done where schools and business are closing although some business are doing their best to keep open and active. In my trade the government control us and are currently advising that we can't stop Statutory testing and examining motor vehicles. Today I've read about some businesses saying that they are asking customers to turn off their heaters and remove any items in the vehicles like food stuff, cans, cups etc. How serious should this vivid 19 be taken as a working class person dealing directly with the public!

Here is a Government UK link to statistics etc regarding the virus. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-information-for-the-public#risk-level

One should always try to live a life as relaxed as one can in the circumstances. No matter what everybody might think or believe, nobody has complete free will. What you can and can't do will come from various sources, such as one's ability to understand what one might want to do in their free will, and a main one these days being the society we live in, which does control what we can and can't do quite a lot nowadays.

Maybe a better question might be to ask who formed the earth and the environment so that the humans could occupy it in the beginning. If you are thinking of going back further than that, then maybe asking what or who had the consciences to understand and be able to form life in the beginning, even if that boils down to matter, atoms, fluids etc, who formed them and if the big bang enters the equation, who created and caused that ?

This is a long thread and I admit I've not read every post in it, but would just like to say that, if a person is ill in a mental state of one form or another, then any reasoning that person tries to put forward can't be taken seriously. A person must be of sound mind and put their views forward backed by evidence. I can however fully assure all readers that nobody will put evidence forward from bible scripture to convince anybody to believe in it, and the reason for this is because the bible is fully based on FAITH. If you choose not to believe in it, then you don't see the understanding, its a simple as that. It is said that the god of this system of things blinds the minds of disbelievers. I've also learned that the bible gets rewritten about every fifty years. I questioned this some time back with a religious group who told me that being inspired by god the wording used meant the same but was changed slightly because peoples languages are changing over time, i.e. the slang. I pointed out that in the book of Revelations that God Almightly was very specific in that he said in writing that the wording of the bible must NOT be altered, or words to that effect. Once I bought this conversation forwards the replies were not forthcoming. There is however a lot to be said for the funds that are generated as registered charities in these organisations. Looking at whether the flood ever took place or not we might never know. Am interesting point of view was once put to me from a farmer about the flood and the ark, and that was that if the ark contained two of all wild animals, domestic and otherwise, in a closed system that was supposedly sealed off, then the smell from the animals, the waist etc would have killed off the human lives there in the ark over that 40 days and nights of the flood period. Then the religious group came back with another good answer to that problem, where they said God has the power to put the animals to sleep through that time period and then wake them up when the time is right for them to go back to the wild. The only real things the human being knows is that we are here, we are alive for a time period and humans die. What we don't know and can't prove is whether we have lived before and or will live again after death in the future. As far as evidence and facts are concerned, the only ones available to us is that we are here now and conscience that we are alive at this time. Nobody can't dispute that evidence.

AIRBRUSH has a point. I work with one bloke to seems to give the impression that he hates people for some reasons or another. In a passing conversation a few days ago he did say if he got this virus that he would pass it to other people. As sick as that is I believe him, his mindset is deranged in some ways. As far as I'm concerned if I suspect anyone I work with of having this virus, they don't need to worry about passing it on or calling 111, I'll do it for them whether they agree or not.

Nobody I socialize with daily smokes, but handling money is something else. To me something about this vivod 19 or whatever its proper name is seems odd. Some weeks ago I first heard about it and it all started in China as far as the TV news was concerned. Quarantines were talked about and restricting peoples movements within a short period of time, then a few days later (or it appeared that way to me) the news was showing this virus in numerous countries all around the world, infecting thousands of people at that time. It seemed a little too quick for me for the virus to have spread so fast in so many countries and then so many people affected so quickly. It looked to me that the virus had been around much longer than the news presenters had advised the world population.

I'm no expert, but I'd of thought the Earth met those criteria very well. The Earth cannot survive without the Sun, everything living on it and growing from it would die, hence the sun is feeding the earth light and heat. Everything naturally grown from the earth appears to die in one sense or another, surely that is recycled waste? Recycled waste is not necessarily dead as far as the living planet earth is concerned, hence new trees grow, plants grow each year, so their seed must evolve from the waste of some description!

When you enroll you are supplied access to a website and you carryout your studies online. During your studies you will be invited to tutorials and when you graduate you'll also attend your graduation day. The University will after graduation make arrangements for you to receive your certificate.

In fairness to what the above link says it is reasonable then to use common sense and keep clean, and ensuring that people with cold and flu like symptoms are kept at arms length.

Not having any understanding of this problem, which seems to be spreading according to the TV news (UK) my main concern (obviously) being me is to ask what is the likely chances of not being infected given that I work with three other UK individuals in a small business. We all live local and we deal with the public in reception each day but most are regular local customers. I've always had a salad lunch and a cooked meal for evening meal. I don't travel much anyway and most of the time stay local to where I live. Is there anything specific to watch out for?

So because Ice is less dense than water, when it thaws it expands. Have I got that correct?

Thanks for your input.

I could be mistaken here, but natural water without any additive being added I was always lead to believe that when the temperature dropped below freezing that water would freeze, and when the temperature rises water expands and becomes liquid. In a car cooling system without antifreeze mixture added back in the early days the engines cooling systems used to freeze and no damage was caused during that period, but when the cooling system water temperature did rise again the increase in pressure in the cooling system engine block would force the core plugs out, and sometimes crack the block. I never experienced a cracked block with a frozen engine before thawing out I understand also that it is possible to get freeze burns from cold liquids and gasses like R134a, but whether the liquid/gas while the temperature is dropping below freezing is actually expanding outwards I don't know, and if that were the case, would that not cause physical damage to the components?
