Shears Family Residence Page

From The Stars Are Right


The Shears family are Nick Shears, Audrey Shears and Thembi Shears. We have lived in South Africa and in England, and in November 2001 we moved to Brisbane, Australia. Why? We determined it was time for somewhat extra journey in our lives, and Brisbane provides us so many things we were on the lookout for: a sub-tropical local weather, a laid-again way of life, myriad alternatives, easy access to fabulous journey, and pleasant open individuals. We intend to remain put right here, too. We created this web site primarily as someplace we can post pictures and experiences for our outdated friends and family to see. So when this site was put collectively in April 2002 we posted a few latest images, a lot of which have been probably not intended for public consumption - this was simply a quick method of making them out there to a few buddies and family. In time to come we'll add heaps more images.



However, real life has a means of forcing procrastination upon us, so now in early 2004 this site is just about what it was almost two years in the past. Thembi has her personal dwelling web page, which she used to update relatively more regularly, however which aparently now's waiting to be redesigned and reborn completey. The site additionally provides us a chance to ramble on about our passions. So there is a growing set of musical pages (see below), a short checklist of really useful technical help newsletters, and an embryonic web page speaking about books we love. Talking about books, I need to make a fast plug for the wondrous BookCrossing site - it prices nothing, and encourages us all to launch our books into the wild where they are often enjoyed and shared by others. The second reason for a site was to make it easier to re-set up contact with outdated associates. We've tracked down just a few individuals by coming into their names into search engines like google and yahoo, and just in case anybody did the identical on our names, we wished to make it straightforward for them to finds the proper place.



Before this webpage existed, it was truly potential to seek out an email deal with for Nick Shears by typing his title into Google, but you would be lucky to search out the fitting link amongst the pages of irrelevant search outcomes. So if you are looking for the Nick Shears who grew up in South Africa, used to go to Northcliff High school, after which to the University of Cape Town (UCT) and University of the Witwatersrand (Wits), and then returned to England, you've got found him. If you're looking for Audrey King, who went to high school at Maryvale Convent and Potchefstroom (and one or two others), and who became Audrey Shears in 1976, you found her. And if that's the case, do please e mail us. Music is central to our lives. There are loads of images, evaluations, reminiscences and suchlike to come. In the meantime, Wood Ranger Power Shears website the music pages added 19th May 2002 consist primarily of some shots from South Africa within the early 1970's, particularly from one of the legendary Free People's Festivals held at Wits University.



Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's charge-dependent resistance to a change in shape or to movement of its neighboring portions relative to each other. For liquids, it corresponds to the informal concept of thickness; for example, syrup has a higher viscosity than water. Viscosity is outlined scientifically as a force multiplied by a time divided by an space. Thus its SI units are newton-seconds per metre squared, or pascal-seconds. Viscosity quantifies the inner frictional drive between adjacent layers of fluid which might be in relative motion. As an example, when a viscous fluid is pressured through a tube, it flows extra shortly close to the tube's center line than close to its walls. Experiments show that some stress (equivalent to a strain difference between the two ends of the tube) is required to maintain the movement. This is because a force is required to beat the friction between the layers of the fluid which are in relative motion. For a tube with a continuing price of move, the strength of the compensating Wood Ranger Power Shears website is proportional to the fluid's viscosity.
