Galu, it seems you have disabled private messaging. Send me a PM with your address so I can check the shipping please.

Jan, I had to do some alterations to my settings, but a PM should now be winging its way to you.

Thanks again.

 

[jan.didden]

Got it.

I think you may have confused "here" with one of the UFO threads!

Ah! now I get it 🙂 yes...

[Galu]

I used "here" to make the proclamation sound more bold and outlandish 😀

I think you meant "hereby" rather than "here". 😎

Your proclamation appears sound, however.

Just what we needed, Steve...

...a 'potted' history of your garden! 😀

TBH, this sort of Gardening is not my scene:

But I have to work with what I got. Not everyone has my Energy. Quite pleased with my Mountain Ash:

Sorbus aucuparia - Mountain Ash Rowan Tree – Mail Order Trees

An endangered species AFAIK. Not clear whether it has Red or Yellow berries. But a source of joy to the little Sparrows and Coal Tits in Winter. 🙂

Other little treasures hidden away in the garden include Anemones. A word I find difficult to spell. Primroses, Grape Hyacinths, Cyclamen, Raspberries and Apples and Aquilegia lurk in hiding in the back garden. I cannot reveal their location. 😎

Further mysteries lurk in my Garden.

This one is a dilly! 😀

I was helping out my neighbour, Paul, with his wretched overgrown and snail-infested garden.

Imagine my surprise when he donated this strange plant to me. This (Fern) thing is 500M years old. Contemporary with Dinosaurs. Ceoloacanths and all the other stuff that grew up years ago.

Amazing.

I didn't get it ;-D

One uses hereby when officially or formally making a proclamation.

Am I making myself clearer or just barking up the wrong tree?

Come to think of it, I may just be barking mad!

 

[TNT]

Hereby is temporal while here is location?

[Disco-Pete]

Is there a grammatical error? Contextual, etymological? Philosophical??


is it a spelling error? 🙂

 

[Galu]

Hereby is temporal while here is location?

There's a time and a place for such questions! 😀

 

[Disco-Pete]

Yes, the Scripps Spelling Bee. It takes a 13yr. old to figure this out. 😀

Further mysteries lurk in my Garden.

Have you found a Triffid? 😱

 

[Galu]

If you come across plants like the ones shown in this attachment, Steve, best use your hand-held DNA sequencer to check for human genes! 😉

I went through a phase of collecting carnivorous plants!

Venus Fly Trap, Butterwort and Pinguicula. I proudly brought a White Pinguicula Alpina to the Biology class after a holiday in Switzerland. Unfortunately the white flower had dropped off in transit. Teacher said I was making it all up, and it was Purple Pinguicula Vulgaris until otherwise proven! 😡

Super Full Moon again next couple of nights. The lunatics will be out in force. 😱

 

[system7]

Twas' a Strawberry Full Moon last night, and very impressive it was too... 😎

I never learned transmission line theory or Smith Chart but this presentation of the IEEE paper's Geometric Algebra was fun to for me:

Applications Of Conformal Geometric Algebra To Transmission Line Theory - YouTube

builds Riemann Sphere projective model of Smith Chart then goes up to Minkowski Space to turn all S-Chart transformations into Lorentz Transforms/Rotations

I have been spending more time on Geometric Algebra. It's brilliant!

A Swift Introduction to Geometric Algebra - YouTube

Seems the Vector people have been barking up the wrong tree with the cross product!

All those strange and incomprehensible things like scalars, vectors, bivectors, pseudoscalars, spinors, complex numbers and quaternions and anti-commutativity naturally fall into place into almost classical mechanics with the outer product in higher dimensions. Gonna take me a while to wrap my head round it.

But I think I may be starting to grasp the Higgs boson - Wikipedia. Which may or not be a pseudoscalar. Sort of problem you need to sleep on. 😎
