Because of the recent earthquakes in New Zealand and Japan (+ tsunami), the uprisings in some countries, and the predictions on the end of the world related to the Mayan calendar, some people are concerned about the end.

If you're a Christian, would you want the end of this world to come as soon as possible or would you want it delayed for as long as possible?

How does your attitude compare with those of the early Christians?

What's an atheist supposed to practice?

Also, is there such a person as a non-practicing atheist?

No offense meant; I'm simply curious.

Please answer as truthfully and sincerely as you can.

Thank you.

“I expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.” Stephen Grellet (November 2, 1773 – November 16, 1855)

If you would, how would it affect the way you treat those who commune with you in this section - theists and atheists alike?

If you would not, why not?

Would you share with me any philosophy that you live by, especially regarding how we could live in harmony with one another despite our differences?

Given the function x = sqrt(5000 - 2p^3), find the rate of change of p with respect to x by implicit differentiation.

It is actually a firewall. Not a basement wall. Made of hollow concrete blocks filled and plastered with concrete. No water pipelines inside the wall. Leaks only when it rains. Rain water seems to seep through the joint between the wall and the concrete beam. Flashing seems OK. Wall has hairline cracks; sweats through cracks, but most of the leaks seem to be through the wall-beam joint.

Already tried lining the top of the beam with concrete sloping towards the wall-beam joint. This reduced leakage, but 3 portions along the joint are still leaking.

Is there any guarantee that this problem will be eliminated by painting the outside of the wall with elastomeric paint, say, Drylock? If so, how long will this solution be effective; that is, how frequently will the wall have to be repainted?

Browsed through some related questions here. Some answerers propose using hydraulic cement.

Which of these 2 proposed solutions would be more effective (over the long term) for this problem?

After observing pump operation for about 30 minutes: average time to build pressure from 30 to 50 psi = 17 seconds. Pump stops, sort of hissing sound inside, though no air coming out of it; pressure drops fast to 30 psi in about 2 minutes, even if there's no open tap. Pump gets water from a big tank, then pumps it into pressure tank. Taps get water from pressure tank. I think it's just ordinary pressure tank, not bladder type (whatever that means). Previous problem: slow pressure buildup, fast pressure drop, so before switching it on, I tried making sure enough water inside pressure tank, though can't be sure how much due to no sight glass. Now this problem. Please help.

Actually, this is for my 2nd year high school daughter who keeps on bugging me about it. Please be kind to a helpless father who doesn't have much IP (as she calls it) ideas in his head. I would really be grateful to all who would take this request seriously and with great desire to help.

Tank capacity about 21 gallons. No pressure is lost when all taps remain closed. Pump sort of "gurgles" when switched off. Pressure pump and tank system only 2 months old. First time to encounter this situation. Already tried draining all the water from tank, then resumed pump operation. Please explain step-by-step procedure on what to do and on how to resume operation from the very start (as if system were newly installed). Thank you.
