I will be arriving with my toddler in Heathrow Airport Terminal 3 via British Airways, and leaving the next day from Terminal 5 also on British Airways. I have booked a room at Sofitel near Terminal 5 and applied for visas so we can exit the airport and go to the hotel.



  1. When we arrive at Terminal 3, should we follow the purple signs that say "connecting flights" and transfer to Terminal 5 and leave for the hotel from there?

  2. Or, should we go through Immigration at Terminal 3 and then proceed to the hotel in Terminal 5?

  3. My bags will be checked to the final destination; will that be a problem since I will be leaving the airport during transit?

          You should go through immigration in terminal 3 and proceed to terminal 5 from there (see below).



          When you check in, confirm with the agent whether your bags will be checked through. If you need to collect them at Heathrow, do so at terminal 3.



          The easiest way to get from terminal 3 to terminal 5 is to use the Heathrow Express train. This is free for journeys between the terminals, and runs every 15 minutes. Follow signs to the Heathrow Express when you arrive. You need to get a ticket from the ticket machines, but this is free (this is a recent change - https://www.heathrow.com/airport-guide/getting-around-heathrow/travel-between-terminals). The Sofitel is connected to terminal 5 via a walkway.

                    How can temperature be calculated given relative humidity and dew point?

                    How can temperature be calculated given relative humidity and dew point? While looking into the better indicator of how miserable it feels outside, either dew point or relative humidity, I came across this statement: The optimum combination for human comfort is a dewpoint of about 60 F and a RH of between 50 and 70% (this would put the temperature at about 75 F). Source: http://www.theweatherprediction.com/habyhints/190/ This led me to this calculator that will calculate the temperature given relative humidity and dew point - for example a dew point of 70 degrees F and a relative humidity of 90% results in a temperature of 73.11 degrees F. The web site for this calculator says the values are based on the August-Roche-Magnus approximation and gives the following equation to calculate temperature: $T =243.04 Large fracfrac17.625 TD243.04+TD-lnleft(fracRH100right)17.625+lnleft(fracRH100right)- frac17.625 TD243.04+TD$ Given the equation I'm still having a hard time figuring out...

                    I have a recursive function to validate tree graph and need a return condition I have a tree graph. Each node has attribute 'amount'. The rule governing the attribute value of root is this, The root 'amount' value is the sum of the 'amount' attribute of each of it's children. This continues to the last node with children. In other words this tree's attributes are unlike a sum tree, because the root node is not the sum of each node in the tree. Here is a toy example as graph G: nodedict = 'apples': 'amount': 5.0, 'bananas': 'amount': 10.0, 'tomato': 'amount': 50.0, 'total_fruits': 'amount': 15.0, 'total_vegetables': 'amount': 9.0, 'carrot': 'amount': 3.0, 'squash': 'amount': 6.0, 'total_fruits_and_vegetables': 'amount': 74.0 edgelist = [('total_fruits', 'apples'), ('total_fruits', 'bananas...
