Hi! I am a 16-year-old boy living in Bishop’s Stortford, Herts, 
England, who is preparing a short task for his GCSE coursework. It is 
on the subject of questionnaires. I can assure you that I am not a 
marketing company who will flood you with junk mail. We were 
investigating fair questions, and now we are moving onto handling 
data. The aim is to produce as much data from a short a survey as 
possible. I would be extremely grateful if you would copy or save 
this file and take the time to fill it out. The answers need only be 
approximate, so please don’t pore over it for hours upon end. Just 
pop it in you outbox and e-mail it back to me at Hin-Heen@msn.com. 
Thanks a lot!

maths task would appreciate a larger cross-section of the population 
for this survey.

Greetings.
I am currently doing some studies on natural ventilation. I need to
know how much wind will be available for natural ventilation in a
house if there is a building standing right in front of the house.
Parameters involved will be the height of the blocking building and
the gap between the building and the house.
Please inform me if anybody in this part of the universe is doing
similar job or perhaps somebody had already done it?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best Wishes.
Peace

Scott-
If you are in the US, there is an excellent reference source that,
really, no company should be without. It is called the Thomas Register
of American Manufacturers. The reference section of your local library
should also have a set. It's about 22 volumes. They will have addresses
for Piezo manufacturers like Vernitron and Channel Industries.
Good luck!

I've seen this story from time to time.  It's one of those experiments where 
it is not too hard to make it come out any way you want.  For one  thing, the 
body loses more than the soul at death.  Depending on the mode of departure, 
it can lose a lot of bowel, bladder, and stomach contents as well.  If the 
reported death took place slowly enough, the dying body could easily exhale 
4-6 oz of water over a few-hour period between measurements.  A sincere 
researcher eager to get a particular result could easily ignore these 
possibilities.
If the expt checks out, though, it would be an easy way to detect 
ghosts...you'd just need a few postal scales scattered about the haunted house.
