f(x) = 1(x)-5
then what?
f = 1-5/x?

Happy July everyone; except those in Australia where I am told it is August 17th already! Sorry, I don't know the year.




Stormy:

quspisaniitisohn= Spanish Inquisition Cool

I just don't know how you managed to decode those. Razz





TTH:

2x/5 +17 = 9, can you find x?

2x/5 = 9-17
2x/5 = -8
2x = -8(5)
2x = -40
x = -40/2
x = -20 Cool Cool


Even Mark would be impressed with that! Razz



"f(x) = 1(x)-5
then what?"


Forget that one, it is for future generations.




"WHAT? I had that but WTH is offing? I never heard of that
word before so it didn't make sense to me"




In the offing

Meaning:

Imminent - likely to happen soon.


Origin

Another of the many phrases with a nautical origin. This one's quite simple once you know what 'the offing' is. It's the part of the sea that is most distant from the shore but is still visible. Early texts also refer to it as 'offen' or 'offin'.

So, someone who was waiting for and watching out for a ship would first see it approaching when it was 'in the offing' and when it was expected to dock soon. Something that was 'in the offing' isn't happening now or even in a minute or two, but will inevitably happen before too long. The phrase has migrated from its naval origin into general use in the language and is now used to describe any event that is imminent.

The phrase has been in use since the late 16th century and the earliest known citation is a quotation from S. Argoll from 1610 which was reported by S. Purchas in ' Purchas his Pilgrimes' in 1906:

"I came to an Anchor in seven fathomes water in the offing to sea."

Roy Orbisons: Pretty Woman



The title was supposedly inspired by Orbison's wife Claudette interrupting a conversation to announce she was going out; when Orbison asked if she was okay for cash, his friend interjected "A pretty woman never needs any money." Shocked


In 1999, the song was honored with a Grammy Hall of Fame Award and was named one of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked it #222 on their list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time."



I like:

Melanie; candles in the rain

Lay down, lay down
Lay it all down,
Let your white bird smile up
While the world spins 'round.

Lay down, lay down
Lay it all down,
Let your white bird smile up
While the world's spinning 'round.

We were so close there was no room,
We bled inside each other's wounds,
We all had caught the same disease,
We all sang the songs of peace.

Lay down, lay down
Lay it all down,
Let your white bird smile up
While the world spins 'round.

Lay down, lay down
Lay it all down,
Let your white bird smile up
While the world's spinning 'round.

So raise your candles high,
Oh, did you know we could save black against the night?
Oh raise them higher again
And if you do we could stay dry against the rain.

Lay down, lay down
Lay it all down,
Let your white bird smile up
While the world spins 'round.

Lay down, lay down
Lay it all down,
Let your white bird smile up
While the world's spinning 'round.

We were so close there was no room,
We bled inside each other's wounds,
We all had caught the same disease,
We all sang the songs of peace.

Some came to sing,
Some came to pray,
Some came to keep
The dark away.

So raise your candles high,
Oh, did you know we could save black against the sky?
Oh raise them higher again
And if you do we could stay dry against the rain.

Lay down, lay down
Lay it all down,
Let your white bird smile up
While the world spins around.




Sorry TTH, not this time.
