Is there some problem with your browser?

I see it now. I think the PostImage site must have been down when I tried before.

Karen,

There's nothing there.

My two experiments were Joule's Law and thermal conductivity. In the former, I ended up with 4.17 joules/calorie. The other involved, I seem to recall, using Callender's apparatus, but I cannot recall the details. I know I ended up second in the class - rather to the surprise of Mr Chaundy, our physics master!

Sorry to hear that Tom. Creating a single column frame, using Format, Update Object Default, and then using Tools/Save Default Settings, putting a tick by Object Styles in the dialogue box, and clicking Save seems to work OK here.

As Alfred says, I would have thought that resetting would also do the trick.

Ah yes, but then you have to Save Default Settings from the Tools menu, ensuring that the Object Styles box is checked.

Hi Tom,

Try Format/Update Object Default

Wasn't there a Morris car dubbed a "frog-eye"?

Perhaps you are thinking of the bug-eye Austin-Healey Sprite.

But that is a start.

I remember, from many years ago, hearing the cacophony of caws at the top end of Streatham Common  coming from hundreds of crows. I see from Google Earth that the trees are still there. I wonder if the crows are too.

The string in his mouth appears to be attached to the main bamboo pole just below the bow. It is not clear how he holds the string in his mouth. Hooked on a tooth, apparently - see around 5.40. He takes it out at the end (7.13). The instant that he puts it in his mouth is not shown. It is at 1.06. Earlier the string is held in the hand holding the bow, but at 1.07 he begins playing, and the string is already in his mouth.

That's all very informative. One learns something new every day. I must keep clear of the humming birds, especially if they are feeling peckish.

I am puzzled by the fiddler. What has he got in his mouth and what does it do?

I think Jack does too many cryptic crosswords!

I don't know which instruments are being played here, but while you can play the same notes on say a clarinet, and a bassoon, the bassoon plays them in a lower register.

Thanks, Alfred. Desert of (or on) the Moon seems more likely and suitable.

Not Classical, but definitely "classic". One of the very best Dixieland style jazzbands I've come across. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Un7TdFdPJdM

By the way, the piece halfway through that is not given a title in English, is called "Moon sand", or so a combination of Abbyy FineReader and Google Translate suggests. "Moon dust" might be more accurate.

Something to do with Greece, or maybe grease.

You have missed the point, but perhaps you could make a movie about it. Preferably non-political, at least in this thread.

If you are ever in London, a visit to the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich is well worthwhile.

What am I missing please?

The parts of the rubber band no longer stretch after they contact with the wheel. Imagine the wheel is coated with superglue.

it should be (as if Horl - ee)

Most sources claim Halley rhymes with alley. I have heard it pronounced as rhyming with daily, but the double "l" suggests the former is correct, and conforms to normal English pronunciation rules. Now were he Welsh…

Or as html?

I have it saved as: Charts (PagePlus) _ Serif Legacy Product Support.html (48 KB)

Together with a Folder: Charts (PagePlus) _ Serif Legacy Product Support_files (3.35 MB)

Is it possible to attach a Folder here?

How could this be converted to PDF?

EDIT:

I see - just right-click in the browser and Print, selecting Save as PDF. Easy!
