number of derived units. There is no requirement to divide
Hello everybody:Here is a copy of the tentative speech I intend to give to the EU-US high level regulatory forum held in Washington, DC on April 10. (Hectoday?) Anyway, you can all check it out and give comments. I timed it, and it barely made five minutes when I talked fast. So if you want me to

That's an admirable approach for a small garden. Our situation is quite
different. I plant in 1.5 m wide lanes, separated by 2 m wide aisles of
grass which I periodically mow with a bush hog. (That's a tractor
powered mower >1.5 m in diameter, for you city folks.) Typically our

I think it is a great speech. Perhaps you could also mention that over

Let's hope not. I remember hearing comedian Lisa Lampanelli's routine,
