    East Asian Earthquake

    Yeah, absolutely. Its hard to blame the US for their response, at least atm. But, in any case, we can blame them for a whole litany of other things ;)

    lol Maybe, but ppl live through being ejected out of a fighter jet (I read more than 20 g at howstuffworks.com )

    g load

    I know that ordinary people can sustain up to 4 gs for short bursts (The tower of terror pulls about 4 gs in Dreamworld, I think the Space Probe pulls about 3). I know that fighter pilots can pull 9 g without blacking out, but they use special anti-g suits, and are trained to brace themselves...

    UAI's for modern

    I got 94, I think this year less ppl got band 6. Correct me if I am wrong, but does that mean the scaling will be lower this year?

    Textbooks (Merged)

    We use cambridge for 2 unit and Fitzpatrik for 3 unit. Cambridge is ok, but sometimes they have the most confusing methods of solving problems, e.g they completely stuffed up with the simpsons rule and the trapezoidal rule IMO. But its still good. Fitzpatrik for 3 unit goes like this: First 5...

    confess... quality or quantity?

    I got 94 for modern historyu, and I must have used up around 6 or 7 booklets...I even used a booklet for the WWI Section! lol. Anyway my friend wrote the same amount as me, and he got 93, but I guess its hard to say whether the result is due to the amount of words in our essays or the content...

    chemistry book. which to choose?

    Pathways is needlessly complicated. Conquering Chemistry has good exercises IMO but I dont know about the theory. We dont use textbooks at school, our teacher makes up her own notes and scabs them from a huge number of books. :D

    Any tiPs? for a year 10 going to year 11 ?

    except when u get that N/A letter for that subject. ;) Seriously, you cant afford to miss out on classes in year 12, there's too much work to catch up on, and th e problem with that is that without a teacher you wont understand it. The secret is to start early. I had this guy come over our...

    wats perspective in analysing sources?

    Perspective is Just the individual person's viewpoint. Fore example the perspective of a workign class citizen in germany would be different from that of an upper-class citizen in Britian. Because both have different ways of intrepretign the event sof the war, you cant say that either source is...

    WW1- peace conference paris assessment task

    Why dont you choose the treaty of versailles, perhaps the specific "war guilt" clause (clause 231) and an extract from President Wilson's 14 Points? We did that assignment last year, I quite liked it actually, there's plenty of info in your local library on it :)

    Cheating in exams

    There are a number of problems with your argument. you note that society was unfair on you so that gives you the right to cheat. The reason society may seem unfair is because of peopel like you, who do not respect the hard work that others do. you also seem to say that "helping others is good...

    hsc related suicides, iv heard about 20 this year

    MY brother did the hsc 2 yerars ago and he reckons its nothing compared to uni studies, but maybe that only applies to hard courses (such as the one he is doing now).

    hsc related suicides, iv heard about 20 this year

    You are rite, it seems that indians and asians in general study more than others,, but thats probably because the emphasis in Asia is much more on studies than on sport. Unfortunately the education systems in most of those countries is based almost solely on how much one can remember...

    Yeah i argued teh same. I didnt mension the depression too much, apart form teh fact that it was teh catalyst the allowed teh problems of teh weimar republic to resurface.
