  1. How is your class nineGrid defined?
  2. Yes, Pandora is great! I have recommended it to friends too. I've got a question. A while ago there was no light and my internet connection went down too but the player kept on playing the music. How does it work?
  3. http://archives.math.utk.edu/visual.calculus/ "Visual Calculus: a collection of modules that can be used in the studying or teaching of calculus." This is just very simple calculus but it is very nicely set up with tutorials and iteractive modules (LiveMath, Java, and Javascript) and everything is clearly explained so it works great as an introduction to calculus.
  4. Don't they regulate ions in the blood too?
  5. So am I! Two days without SFN! " 'Twas sad as sad could be " P.s. That's a quote, anyone know from where?
  6. Normally I read with a voice which is pretty close to mine but isn't actually mine if you get what I mean which I will call "the voice". When I read novels or fiction, every character has it's own voice, not to different, not different accents, just like a different tone. It happens to me even when I read posts here in SFN, especially the more regular posters have developed their own sort of voice. Then "the voice" just takes over the rest, like school books, reading notes, announcements, articles, etc.
  7. Personally I don't post much but there is almost no day that I don't log in to read the new posts. I enjoy the Forums as they are since they continue to attract a very wide variety of people with different backrounds, interests, culture, knowledge, etc. and I learn very much from many of you. However, I remember that I was once private messaged by a moderator because I wasn't properly dividing my posts into paragraphs, using punctuation properly, and in general I was writing in a pretty relaxed style. I liked that because it maintains the quality of the forums and it gives a nice impression of formality and it is pretty annoying to find people not following these very simple rules and I wonder if it is because moderators are becoming more lax.
  8. Yes that's what I thought but the person who told me said he would investigate further but that it was actually interesting because also, it is like a reflex to lick a wound, at least a small one and that it had something to do with an enzyme.
  9. Today I was told that the wives of vikings used to lick their wounds because they had no way to cauterize or disinfect them and salive helps the formation of scars. Is it true?
  10. Glasses are neither liquids nor crystallline solids, but supercooled liquids. They appear to be solids but they do not have a distinct boiling point

    Soap?

    There is not a formula for soap because there are many soap-like substances which are commonly sodium or potassium salts of long-chain fatty acids
  12. But besides your water bottle put water for your cat or s/he will sorely miss your cup.
  13. In the lab it is easy to get oxygen from the decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide. You can decompose it by heating it above 80 degrees celsius or by adding a catalyst like a metal. If for 9 you meant caesium I don' think you'll be able to get that easily since it is extremely reacting... or maybe you did mean capsaesum? And I don't think it'll be easy to get Na by the elecctrolysis of NaOH or NaCl because it'll also rather stay in the aqueous solution.
  14. Yes, actually so have I. And it does work. A friend tried it and it was horrible because she passed out and actually started to convulse. But yes, as someone else mentioned, if you don't sleep for a few days in a row you will start having hallucinations though I don't think it is something worth trying out
  15. Lol, poor Dave. I can only imagine his suffering.
  16. I don't think that's the only important thing... obese people for example tend to not have a healthy heart beat, as in it is significantly higher than that of average people
  17. It's not that it has less haemoglobin, it's that the red blood cells change shape because of deoxygenation due to abnormal haemoglobin
  18. A grrrrrrrrrrrrrr for bascule a yey! for CanadaAotS:
  19. As in a glandular stomach and a muscular one, or two muscular stomachs? (sorry for going off topic)
  20. I didn't get the part of the two stomachs
  21. Maybe it makes you retain too much water? I don't realy know though... but I think that has to do a lot with it.
  22. I pronounce it as fun-guy though I think I hear people saying it as fun-jee more often
