  2. It is not known when perfect numbers were first studied and indeed the first studies may go back to the earliest times when numbers first aroused curiosity. It is quite likely, although not certain, that the Egyptians would have come across such numbers naturally given the way their methods of calculation worked, see for example where detailed justification for this idea is given. Perfect numbers were studied by Pythagoras and his followers, more for their mystical properties than for their number theoretic properties.
  3. Yep love the Ball in Australia. But play with mates when the weathers nice.
  4. LIGHTLight is a type of energy (and the tiny part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we can see). The fastest that light can travel is 186,300 miles per second. Visible light has a wavelength from 10-7m to 10-8m. LIGHT SPECTRUMLight can be broken up into into its component colors (for example, by passing light through a prism) - this is a spectrum. Light from the Sun can be broken up into the colors of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet). The different colors of light correspond to the different energies of the light waves: for example, blue light has more energy than red light. Different astronomical objects emit different electromagnetic spectra (spectra is the plural of spectrum), and these spectra are used to analyze the body.
  5. I dont rate them that much - depends on your product or service. If its for other webmasters and sales stuff then it could be good.
  6. I use my yahoo account more than my Gmail - Ive let my Hotmail just slideaway. I do use my domains email most of all though. Yahoo Mail vs. GmailWhen Google announced its Gmail service, it set a new standard for capacity, offering a full gigabyte of storage for each user. Gmail was designed as a search-centric system -- by offering so much storage, Google encouraged users to simply store all messages and search to find them, rather than using a traditional folder based filing system.Many other web-based email services announced similar capacity enhancements, but did little to improve the searchability of email.Yahoo's upgrade puts its email system on a par with Gmail. Although the 100 megabyte free account is less than Gmail's 1 gigabyte limit, Yahoo does not count spam or trash messages toward the total.In addition, Yahoo has removed advertising from messages in Mail Plus accounts, and has no plans to serve contextually based text advertisements at all, according to Garlinghouse. Gmail messages sometimes include contextually based text ads based on a machine scan of the contents of your email.The primary difference between Gmail and Yahoo mail is that Gmail has threaded messages, allowing you to see all exchanges of a particular subject grouped together. Gmail also occasionally returns web search results based on a contextual scan of the content of your mail.If you're still pining away for a Gmail account, Yahoo's revamped email service is an excellent alternative. Garlinghouse says that the company plans to continue enhancing the service throughout the year.Yahoo is also releasing "tens of millions" of dormant or unused user names today, allowing you to sign up for a more meaningful user name than in the past.Yahoo does require more personal information than Google on its registration form for email, but registration also provides you access to other Yahoo services, such as the excellent My Yahoo personalized service, Yahoo photos and Yahoo Messenger.
  7. Hmmmm - I use google for anything and everything - places and studying - I use instead on yellowpages when searching businesses.
  8. Abortion in Australia In 1990, 23 per cent of all known pregnancies in Australia were terminated. This makes abortion one of the most common surgical procedures in the country, with around 80,000 women undergoing abortion every year. Our current ratio of one abortion in every four pregnancies is an improvement over the estimated one in three recorded in Australia in the 1930s. Comparatively speaking, Australia's abortion rate is reasonably low by international standards. For instance, the United States of America has a 30 per cent abortion rate, while countries such as the former Yugoslavia and Bulgaria have recorded abortion rates of over 50 per cent.Vague legislationInternational research shows that women will still seek abortion, even if the procedure is illegal. Numerous studies have shown that the majority of Australians support the idea of safe and legal abortions. However, Australian abortion laws are typically vague and open to interpretation. Laws differ between States and Territories. Generally, all legislations aim to restrict access to the procedure, and give the decision on whether or not a pregnancy can be terminated to the doctor, instead of the woman. Ambiguous laws mean that public sector services are limited, particularly in rural areas, and doctors are less inclined to train in abortion techniques for fear of legal action.Typical profileAround one in three Australian women will undergo an abortion. Unwanted pregnancy can affect any woman of childbearing age, but studies show that some women are at greater risk than others. The typical profile of a woman seeking abortion includes: * Aged in her 20s * Single * Childless * Well educated * Employed.
  9. Need to explain a bit more. But if you have the forum linking from your index, which explains the site - then thats cool.
  10. DERMABOND adhesive is a medical glue for the skin that doctors can use in place of stitches or staples to close wounds and incisions. It is spread on top of the wound while your doctor holds the skin edges together. Only your doctor can apply DERMABOND adhesive. It dries to form a strong, flexible bond and protective covering for the cut. DERMABOND adhesive does not require a bandage, and you can get it wet in the course of normal activities. Showering or bathing is fine, although soaking is not advisable. How it works After your wound has been cleaned, your doctor will apply DERMABOND adhesive in thin layers (a minimum of two for High Viscosity DERMABOND adhesive) with a light brushing stroke, while holding the edges of the wound together. As DERMABOND adhesive is applied, it forms a strong, flexible bond in just 45-60 seconds, and reaches full strength in approximately 2? minutes after the final layer is applied.As your wound heals, DERMABOND adhesive wears off the skin, with complete skin healing usually occurring in 5-10 days. While a return visit to your doctor is not necessary for stitch removal, your doctor still may want to see you to check your healing progress............................................................................................................................When can DERMABOND adhesive be used? * If your wound is in an area where your skin is not stretched or pulled, it can be treated with DERMABOND adhesive * It is generally not used in areas with hair or in the mouth * It should be used with caution around the eyes * Your wound should have even and straight edges - not jagged or torn
  11. Yep - Looks great - Just needs to be wider. The Black background and then Black text makes it a bit hard to read for me.
  12. Reports from NGOs opposed to the death penalty tend to publicise the view that abolition is a global trend. In 1977, 16 countries were abolitionist, while the figure was 122 for the end of 2005. In more detail, 86 countries have abolished capital punishment for all offences, 11 for all offences except under special circumstances, and 25 others have not used it for at least 10 years. However, Sri Lanka recently declared an end to its moratorium on the death penalty. A total of 74 countries retain it. Among retentionist countries, eight use capital punishment on juveniles (under 18). China performed more than 3400 executions in 2004, amounting to more than 90% of executions worldwide. In China, some inmates are executed by firing squad, but it has been decided that all executions will be in the form of lethal injections in the future. Iran performed 159 executions in 2004.[3]. The United States performed 60 executions in 2005. Texas conducts more executions than any of the other U.S. states that still permit capital punishment, with 359 executions between 1976 and 2006. Singapore has the highest execution rate per capita, with 70 hangings for a population of about 4 million. In demographic terms, many retentionist countries have large populations and high population growth. When the relative demographic proportion between retentionist and abolitionist countries is taken into account, this may indicate an underlying trend of increase in retentionist population, which is seemingly shifted in favour of the number of abolitionist countries when new countries switch to being abolitionist. However, it is important to note that use of the death penalty is becoming increasingly restrained in retentionist countries, which is often masked by the population growth because it may nonetheless increase the number of executions being carried out. Japan and the U.S. are the only fully developed and democratic countries that have the death penalty. The death penalty was overwhelmingly practiced in poor, undemocratic, and authoritarian states, which often employed the death penalty as a tool of political oppression. During the 1980s, the democratization of Latin America (with its long history of progressive and Catholic tradition) swelled the rank of abolitionist countries. This was soon followed by the fall of communism in Eastern Europe, which then aspired to emulate neighbouring Western Europe. In these countries, the public support for the death penalty is low and/or decreasing. The European Union and the Council of Europe both strictly require member states not to practice the death penalty. The only European country to do so is Belarus - this is one of the reasons that Belarus is excluded from the Council of Europe. On the other hand, democratisation and rapid industrialisation in Asia have been increasing the number of retentionist countries that are democratic and/or developed. In these countries, the death penalty enjoys strong public support, and the matter receives little attention from the government or the media. This trend has been followed by partial democratisation in some African and Middle Eastern countries where the support for the death penalty is high. see more http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_penalty a bit more At one time the death penalty was used in almost every part of the globe; but over the last few decades many countries have abolished it. Amnesty International classifies countries in four categories. 74 countries still maintain the death penalty in both law and practice. 86 countries have abolished it completely; 11 retain it, but only for crimes committed in exceptional circumstances (such as crimes committed in time of war). 25 other countries maintain laws permitting the use of the death penalty for ordinary crimes, but have allowed the death penalty to fall into disuse for at least 10 years. Finally, it is not unknown for countries to practise extrajudicial execution sporadically or systematically outside their own formal legal frameworks.
  13. Aussie football. Its a big weekend this weekend - the Fremantle Dockers will be trying to pull of a win after beating the top of the ladder in last weeks Derby.
  14. Have a read of this What are the risks of investing in domain names? ˇ Domain name investing is subject to risks of technological change and evolving industry standards. The Internet in general and domain name investing in particular are still in their infant stage.The Internet could simply stop functioning due to overloading or a virus or terrorist attack. The domain name system could undergo some other unforeseeable sea change. For example, currently domain names are only accessible using the Latin alphabet (a-z). Eventually, surfers may be able to use other alphabets (e.g., Arabic, Hebrew), and domain names of transliterated words from other alphabets will shrink in value.Such companies as i-DNS.net, RealNames, and neteka.com offer domain name access in every major alphabet and language in the world. In any of these cases, an investor could fail to achieve reasonable returns. ˇ Internet surfers could begin accessing sites primarily through "plain-English" domain names. The Internet Engineering Task Force is currently developing a proposed standard, the Common Name Resolution Protocol, to allow users to type in simple words instead of complicated URLs to get to their goal. The CNRP standard would unify common names already being used by RealNames , NetWords, America Online KeyWords, MSN Autosearch, Netscape Navigator Smart Browsing, and CompuServe's Go Words. (Representatives from some of those companies are on the IETF standards committee.) If the standard becomes internationally accepted, then the value of the underlying domain names could shrink. The final standard should take about a year to finalize, and then web and software companies would have to decide whether to adopt the protocol. ˇ Certain domain properties may be expropriated. When buying names in the country domains, the investor faces a risk that the relevant country's internet administrators will retroactively change the rules as to who can buy the names. For example, a country could rule that a buyer must immediately develop the site and not merely park it. Alternatively, a country could rule that names can only be bought by citizens and corporations located in the country. Unlike real property, internet property is extremely easy to expropriate, requiring only a small change in the country's NIC database. ˇ Domain properties may be the subject of trademark dispute. GoldNames does not recommend to investors to purchase or trade in properties that are subject to trademark dispute (e.g., disneyfilms.com). Nonetheless, an investor may accidentally acquire or broker a transaction involving a name likely to invoke a trademark dispute. In addition, even after an investor owns a name, another individual may trademark the name and then try to claim the name from the investor. Merely reserving a domain name isn't enough to safeguard it from trademark dispute Over 1000 proceedings have been commenced under the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy since the policy went into full operation on 3 January 2000. In an effort to assist the community in keeping track of these proceedings, the ICANN web site lists the proceedings arranged by (a) commencement date, ( proceeding number, and © domain name. In addition, the ICANN site now offers a search tool and a statistical report on the status of the proceedings. These may be accessed through ICANN. ˇ New or changing laws or regulations could greatly restrict the domain investor. On an ongoing basis, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN", https://www.icann.org/) is working to more closely monitor and arbitrate the registration of names on the Internet. ICANN is primarily concerned with cybersquatting, i.e., investors who deliberately choose domain names that are similar to major trademarks. It is also possible that ICANN will restrict investors from registering names without the intention of immediately developing them. readmore at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
  15. ?For thousands of years, people have wondered about the universe. Did it stretch out forever or was there a limit? And where did it all come from? Did the universe have a beginning, a moment of creation? Or had the universe existed forever? The debate between these two views raged for centuries without reaching any conclusions. Personally, I?m sure that the universe began with a hot Big Bang. But will it go on forever? If not, how will it end? I?m much less certain about that. The expansion of the universe spreads everything out, but gravity tries to pull it all back together again. Our destiny depends on which force will win.? ?STEPHEN HAWKING
  16. Heres sopme stuff that might interest you Robots have been available for a long time and their use has been varied, for example: * Protecting human life by o handling hazardous materials or o relieving situations where people are at risk from repetitive strain o by carrying out operations in tight enclosed environments * Increased production options o increasing operational accuracy o 24 hour operation o lower down-time Robots are not always used in intensive manufacturing environments but also to protect and supplement an existing process and workforce. Typical costs of using a robot can be hard to find due to the unique applications of each user, however, examples of where robots can cost as little as 1.6 Euros per hour are regularly achieved. While employing a measure of new technology, many such robots are envisioned merely as new interfaces - more user-friendly means of combining existing ways of accessing the internet or reaching loved ones through mobile phone networks.In the quest for artificial intelligence, the United States is perhaps just as advanced as Japan. But the focus in the US has been largely on military applications. By contrast, the Japanese Government, academic institutions and corporations are investing billions of dollars on consumer robots aimed at altering everyday life, leading to an earlier dawn of what many in Japan call the "age of the robot".But the robotic rush in Japan is also being driven by unique societal needs. Confronting a major depopulation problem due to a record low birthrate and its status as the nation with the longest lifespan on Earth, Japanese are fretting about who will staff the factory floors of the world's second-largest economy in the years ahead. Toyota, Japan's biggest car maker, has come up with one answer in moving to create a line of worker robots with human-like hands able to perform multiple sophisticated tasks.With Japanese youth shying from so-called 3-K jobs - referring to the Japanese words for labor that is dirty, dangerous or physically taxing - Alsok, the nation's second-largest security guard company, has developed a line of robo-cops.The guard robots, one version of which is being used by a client in southern Japan, can detect and thwart intruders using sensors and paint guns. They can also put out fires and spot water leaks.It is perhaps no surprise that robots would find their first major foothold in Japan. Japanese dolls and toys, including a moving crab using clockwork technology dating to the 1800s, are considered by some to be among the first robots.Rather than the monstrous Terminators of American movies, robots here are instead seen as gentle, even idealistic creatures epitomised by Astroboy, the 1960s Japanese cartoon about an electronic kid with a big heart.
  17. How old was your ford - You can be very unlucky with mid - old cars. Not just Fords. The risky ones are the 10 year olds, they can just die on you. Need to get them checked out before purchasing.Even Better would be to buy a new ford, if you can afford them.I Love the old fords here in Australia - look sooooo tasty. Not to sure about your US fords. I dont like the new fords though.When introduced in 1970 the Phase III version of the Falcon GTHO was one of the fastest cars on the road. No other four door car could keep up with it and its topspeed was only matched by exotics from Italy. A total of 300 of these Phase III's were built and 1557 of the 'normal' GTHO.The phase 3 is a legendary car. in those days it was capable of well over 140mph, that meant it was an extremely fast car. as mentioned no sedan could get near it and the speed that this car reached was capable only by italian performance cars. it took an aussie manufacterer 30 or someting like that years to build a car that can beat it in speed and performance not to mention being the fastest 4 door sedan for 25 years. it held the title for that long and were talkin aussie here compared to the rest of the world.i personally would do anything to own or even drive one of these. that awesome power, sound and looks not to mention that legendary status that this car possesses. what about bathurst that year in 1971. moffat had put the most devastating bathurst win to date even with a beer box blocking the air intake of the car. well that did go down to the driver but what more can i say about moffat hes a champion. if only the phase 4 actually went into production. it would be a killer.
  18. We are talking about the issue in Australia alot. Its crunch time for the world. Sustainable Fossil FuelCambridge University Press, January 19, 2006More and more people believe we must quickly wean ourselves from fossil fuels oil, natural gas and coal to save the planet from environmental catastrophe, wars and economic collapse. Professor Jaccard argues that this view is misguided. We have the technological capability to use fossil fuels without emitting climate-threatening greenhouse gases or other pollutants. The transition from conventional oil and gas to unconventional oil, unconventional gas and coal for producing electricity, hydrogen and cleaner-burning fuels will decrease energy dependence on politically unstable regions. In addition, our vast fossil fuel resources will be the cheapest source of clean energy for the next century and perhaps longer, which is critical for the economic and social development of the world?s poorer countries. By buying time for increasing energy efficiency, developing renewable energy technologies and making nuclear power more attractive, fossil fuels will play a key role in humanity?s quest for a sustainable energy system.
  19. I use Bee Pollen in Australia - we get alot of hay fever. It is expensive but works for me. If you have a Bee alergy I wouldnt use it though.Bee Pollen is the pollen produced by flowers that the honeybee returns to the hive. It consists of the heavier pollens, as opposed to the light airborne pollens that are commonly associated with allergies.Bee Pollen is highly nutritious. It is the main source of nutrient for the bees and their only source of protein. As it consists of most of the vitamins needed to sustain life Bee Pollen is often referred to as Nature?s Multivitamin.Bee Pollen also contains a wide range of minerals, enzymes, amino acids and folates.Clinical studies suggest that Bee Pollen reduces the symptoms associated with Hay Fever. It is also suggested that Bee Pollen desensitises the user to the allergic reactions of Pollen. One reason this may be is that Bee Pollen contains a flavonoid that inhibits the release of histamine in the body, thereby decreasing the allergic response.No demonstrated link exists between allergy to eating Bee Pollen and respiratory allergies to wind borne pollens. Allergic reactions to eating Bee Pollen are very rare but can involve swelling , heart palpitations and minor to moderate difficulty in breathing. Such reactions are generally not considered serious but if these occur then the product should not continue to be taken. Most adverse reactions, if they occur at all, are upset stomachs caused by the richness of Bee Pollen. To overcome this problem start with a small amount (say 1/4 teaspoon) and increase the amount over time.
  20. Anyone in AUS or NZ ever sat a STAT test,The Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT) is a series of related tests designed to assess a range of competencies commonly considered important for success in tertiary study. STAT assesses your ability to understand the material given and to think critically about issues, rather than to test knowledge of curriculum or a specific academic subject.Many tertiary institutions in Australia use STAT as part of their admissions procedure for certain categories of applicants, in addition to any other information available, when assessing your application for admission. If you have no formal qualifications on which to base your application to a tertiary institution, you may be eligible to be considered for entry to a course by sitting STAT.I will sitting it next week, and wondering how anyone went. Cheers leeleelee
  21. Man google doesnt give anything a rest. I will look into the hosting and see - If they have templates and its all able to be done online with out ads etc.... Thants pretty good - wheres the catch. I bet they dont have PHP and MySLQ though.
  22. We in Australia need insurance now. Not as Bad as the states - the government looks after you with out insurance but you have to wait and you want get the best quality. I am waiting for my 12 month waiting period to be over before I get my wisdom teeth pulled out.
  23. Nokia - upgraded from a 1100 - Man that sucked. When I was in Japan I had a really cool phone, phones in Australia are pretty lame.
  24. Some people love it, seen it done on Gaijinpot and its up to 1500 replys....Keep it going.... Look at the last word and add whatever comes to mind eg.... someone writes "short" then you would then write short > coffee Then the new word is coffeehere goes.....chocolate
  25. Nice poem - It is for Mothersday. I give it a score of 15/20
