The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

The boss said, "We need to be 95% confident that we are accurate within plus
or minus 15% of actual volume on each cruise. You will both have to take
additional plots to obtain this accuracy." On approximately how many
additional plots should each forester collect data?

Belief that God is the universe and the universe is God or, more generally, that the universe is divine.
Doctrine that identifies God with the whole universe, every particle, tree, table, animal, and person being part of Him.
Doctrine that God is the transcendent reality of which the material universe and human beings are only manifestations: it involves a denial of God's personality and expresses a tendency to identify God and nature.
Tenents of this belief were expressed in some manner by:
Fichte, Schelling, Hegel, Schleiermacher, Spinoza, Giordano Bruno, Eckhart,
Boehme, Erigena, Xenophanes, John Toland, Rousseau, Wordsworth, Coleridge,
Goethe, Tennyson, Whitman, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Friedrich Nietzsche, Ernst
Haeckel, Zen Buddhists, North American Indians, Neoplatonists, Stoics , Thales,
Anaximander, Anaximenes, Heraklitus, Zeno of Cittium, Marcus Aurelius, and
Plotinus.
What is the name of this belief?
see Answer
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog.
What are these
So wither'd and so wild in their attire,
That look not like the inhabitants o' the earth,
And yet are on 't?
Fair is foul, and foul is fair:
Hover through the fog and filthy air.

War V - battle 9
I have been assured by a very knowing American of my
acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well
nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and
wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled;
and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a
fricassee or a ragout.
I do therefore humbly offer it to public consideration that
of the hundred and twenty thousand children already
computed, twenty thousand may be reserved for breed, whereof
only one-fourth part to be males; which is more than we
allow to sheep, black cattle or swine; and my reason is,
that these children are seldom the fruits of marriage, a
circumstance not much regarded by our savages, therefore one
male will be sufficient to serve four females. That the
remaining hundred thousand may, at a year old, be offered in
the sale to the persons of quality and fortune through the
kingdom; always advising the mother to let them suck
plentifully in the last month, so as to render them plump
and fat for a good table. A child will make two dishes at an
entertainment for friends; and when the family dines alone,
the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and
seasoned with a little pepper or salt will be very good
boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter.
This land is mine, God gave this land to me
This brave and ancient land to me
And when the morning sun reveals her hills and plain
Then I see a land where children can run free
So take my hand and walk this land with me
And walk this lovely land with me
Though I am just a man, when you are by my side
With the help of God, I know I can be strong

The large pipe takes 3 hr to fill the tank
The small pipe takes 6 hr
The large pipe plugged after 30 minutes
Let V = volume of tank
Let S = hourly flow rate through small pipe
Let L = hourly flow rate through large pipe
Let T = time, in hours, to fill tank with large pipe
therefore the time to fill the tank with the small pipe is T+3
Using only the large pipe to fill the tank takes T hours, thus
V = T L
and using only the small pipe to fill the tank takes T+3 hours, thus
V = (T+3) S
Rearranging these equations gives: T L = (T+3) S
Which gives the equation: L/S = (T+3)/T
Using both pipes to fill the tank takes two hours, thus
V = 2S + 2L
Dividing both sides of this equation by S gives:
V/S = 2 + 2L/S
V/S is the time, in hours, to fill the tank using only the
small pipe, which is T+3. Thus...
T+3 = 2 + 2L/S
Substituting (T+3)/T for L/S (see above)...
T+3 = 2 + 2 (T+3)/T
T+1 = (2T + 6)/T
T*T + T = 2T + 6
T*T - T - 6 = 0
and factoring gives:
(T-3)(T+2)=0
Solving for T gives 3 or -2; barring time travel, this cannot be -2, so
T=3
Thus T = 3 and T + 3 = 6
As for which pipe plugged... if the small pipe plugged at the beginning, then
the large pipe ran for 2 hours, but this would fill the tank to 2/3 full. If
the small pipe plugged sometime during filling, the volume would be even
greater than 2/3 full. Therefore, for the tank to be only half full requires
that the large pipe plugged.
When did the large pipe plug? The small pipe ran for two hours, and takes 6
hours to fill the tank, so the small pipe fills the tank 1/3 full. Thus the
remaining tank volume that was filled is equal to 1/6 of the total tank
volume. The large pipe takes 30 minutes to fill the tank 1/6 full.

By the way, you don't understand Chinese, nor are you aware that the symbols that you are manipulating are Chinese symbols.
In fact, the Chinese characters which you have been receiving as input have been questions about a story and the output you have been producing has been the appropriate, perhaps even "insightful," responses to the questions asked. Indeed, to the outside questioners your output has been so good that they are convinced that whoever (or whatever) has been producing the responses to their queries must be a native speaker of, or at least extremely fluent in, Chinese.
The question that Searle asks is--Do you understand Chinese? Searle says NO.
What do you think?
My answer: No, I do not understand Chinese, but I'm capable of locating patterns (information) & writing other patterns (responding to questions). I can envision myself as the subject in question, but my particular rule books are search engines. I also wonder whether the creator of the rule books understood Chinese either!

So live, that when thy summons comes to join
The innumerable caravan, which moves
To that mysterious realm where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not, like the quarry slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave,
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.
"At once a cook, and a captain bold,
And the mate of the Nancy brig,
And a bo'sun tight, and a midshipmite,
And the crew of the captain's gig."

Were you ever out in the great alone, when the moon was awful clear,
And the icy mountains hemmed you in with a silence you most could hear;
With only the howl of a timber wolf, and you camped there in the cold,
A half-dead thing in the stark, dead world, clean mad for the muck called gold;
While high overhead, green, yellow and red, the North Lights swept in bars --

you may not have hemlock and vice versa.

A bunch of the boys were whooping it up in the Malamute saloon; The kid that handles the music-box was hitting a jag-time tune; Back at the bar, in a solo game, sat Dangerous Dan McGrew, And watching his luck was his light-o'-love, the lady that's known as Lou. When out of the night, which was fifty below, and into the din and the glare, There stumbled a miner fresh from the creeks, dog dirty, and loaded for bear. He looked like a man with a foot in the grave, and scarcely the strength of a louse, Yet he tilted a poke of dust on the bar, and he called for drinks on the house. There was none could place the stranger's face, though we searched ourselves for a clue; But we drank his health, and the last to drink was Dangerous Dan McGrew. There's men that somehow just grip your eyes, and hold them hard like a spell; And such was he, and he looked to me like a man who had lived in hell; With a face most hair, and the dreary stare of a dog whose day is done, As he watered the green stuff in his glass, and the drops fell one by one. Then I got to figgering who he was, and wondering what he'd do, And I turned my head -- and there watching him was the lady that's known as Lou. His eyes went rubbering round the room, and he seemed in a kind of daze, Till at last that old piano fell in the way of his wondering gaze. The rag-time kid was having a drink; there was no one else on the stool, So the stranger stumbles across the room, and flops down there like a fool. In a buckskin shirt that was glazed with dirt he sat, and I saw him sway; Then he clutched the keys with his talon hands -- my God! but that man could play! Were you ever out in the great alone, when the moon was awful clear, And the icy mountains hemmed you in with a silence you most could hear; With only the howl of a timber wolf, and you camped there in the cold, A half-dead thing in the stark, dead world, clean mad for the muck called gold; While high overhead, green, yellow and red, the North Lights swept in bars -- Then you've got a hunch what the music meant ... hunger and night and the stars. And hunger not of the belly kind, that's banished with bacon and beans; But the gnawing hunger of lonely men for a home and all that it means; For a fireside far from the cares that are, four walls and a roof above; But oh! so cramful of cosy joy, and crowned with a woman's love; A woman dearer than all the world, and true as Heaven is true -- (God! how ghastly she looks through her rouge, -- the lady that's known as Lou.) Then all of a sudden the music changed, so soft that you scarce could hear; But you felt that your life had been looted clean of all that it once held dear; That someone had stolen the woman you loved; that her love was a devil's lie; That your guts were gone, and the best of you was to crawl away and die. 'Twas the crowning cry of a heart's despair, and it thrilled you through and through -- "I guess I'll make it a spread misere," said Dangerous Dan McGrew. The music almost died away ... then it burst like a pent-up flood; And it seemed to say, "Repay, repay," and my eyes were blind with blood. The thought came back of an ancient wrong, and it stung like a frozen lash, And the lust awoke to kill, to kill ... then the music stopped with a crash, And the stranger turned, and his eyes they burned in a most peculiar way; In a buckskin shirt that was glazed with dirt he sat, and I saw him sway; Then his lips went in in a kind of a grin, and he spoke, and his voice was calm; And, "Boys," says he, "you don't know me, and none of you care a damn; But I want to state, and my words are straight, and I'll bet my poke they're true, That one of you is a hound of hell ... and that one is Dan McGrew." Then I ducked my head, and the lights went out, and two guns blazed in the dark; And a woman screamed, and the lights went up, and two men lay stiff and stark; Pitched on his head, and pumped full of lead, was Dangerous Dan McGrew, While the man from the creeks lay clutched to the breast of the Lady that's known as Lou. These are the simple facts of the case, and I guess I ought to know; They say that the stranger was crazed with "hooch," and I'm not denying it's so. I'm not so wise as the lawyer guys, but strictly between us two -- The woman that kissed him -- and pinched his poke -- was the lady that's known as Lou. By Robert Wm. Service (1874-1958).

C = 180° - A - B
C = 180° - 65°28' - 75°18'
C = 39°14'
Now that we have C, we can find out the length of BC which is the distance
the plane flights from B to C at 280 mph:
AB - C AB = 312 miles; C = 39°14'; A = 65°28'
BC - A
BC = (AB*A)/C
BC = (312 miles * 65°28')/39°14'
I don't know how to make multiplications with minutes so let's transform
them in degrees fractions:
28'/60' = 0.467 and 14'/60' = 0.233 then:
BC = (312 miles * 65.467°)/39.233°
BC = 520.626 miles
So, the plane has to travel 520.626 miles to reach the boat at point C. If
traveling at 280 mph the it will take:
1 hr - 280 miles
x - 520.626 miles
x = 520.626/280 hr
x = 1.859 hr
1 hour and 0.859 of an hour which in minutes is:
1 - 60'
0.859 - m
m = 0.859 * 60'
m = 51.54 minutes
51 minutes and 0.54 of a minute which in seconds is:
1 - 60''
0.54 - s
s = 0.54 * 60''
s = 32.4 seconds
Approximate flight time is 1 hour, 51 minutes and 32.4 seconds, so the plane
gets to the boat at 1:51:32.4 pm.
