We do not own the copyright to most of the images used on this website and we don't mind what you do with them.
We believe that most of the images are in the public domain and that provided you use them on a website you are unlikely to encounter any difficulty.
However, if you wish to use them in any other way -- in "paper" publishing or on a CD for example -- we cannot guarantee that there may not be outstanding copyright problems.
A statement to this effect is linked to all the pages which show the pictures
We have acquired the pictures on our site from a variety of sources: books, journals, web-sites, walls of various Maths buildings around the world, ... and I am afraid that we have not kept a record of where we got them and have not kept any higher resolution copies than the ones we show on our pages.
These are (mostly) 326 pixels high (for slightly complicated historical reasons) and so when we see such odd-sized pictures elsewhere we know where they come from!
If you do need better pictures the Smithsonian is a pretty good source. They have many pictures of scientists at a very high resolution and will let you use them at a price.
If you don't find what you want there, you could always try postage stamps.
We are very happy for you to use anything we have put together provided that you keep our names as authors on the bottom and if it is to be used on the Web include a link back to us.
When we include mathematicians in lists of those born in a given country we are using the present-day geopolitical boundaries and since Western Europe in particular has undergone sweeping changes in the last 200 years these may no longer be quite what you expect.
So Archimedes and Lagrange were born in present-day Italy, Bolyai in Romania, Hilbert in Russia, etc.
If you go to the individual biographies you will usually find some discussion of this. So for example, János Bolyai's birthplace is given as "Kolozsvár, Hungary (now Cluj, Romania)" and his deathplace as "Marosvásárhely, Hungary (now Tirgu-Mures, Romania)".
You can cite (for example) the biography of Stefan Banach as:
J J O'Connor and E F Robertson, Stefan Banach, MacTutor History of Mathematics, (University of St Andrews, Scotland, February 2000)
(The authors and the date are at the bottom of each article)

Sorry I was unable to post much yesterday, I've been sick and it's coinciding with my allergies. I took a Benadryl yesterday which KNOCKED me out, so I was able to sleep nicely!
Here is my review on the Tiffa Mascara Base that I got from Sasa.com, someone asked how much shipping was, and I forgot but I think it was around $5 or $6 for me, you can check out Sasa.com for more details. Shipping is relatively fast USUALLY.
Product: 5 out of 5
Wand: 4 out of 5
Overall: 5 out of 5
Price: $11.00
What it is: It's a mascara base you apply BEFORE you apply your mascara, it helps give the illusion of longer lashes when applied with your regular mascara.
Description: It's a transparent base with little tiny fibers, similar to Imju fiberwig. The fibers attach to your natural eyelashes making it seem like you have longer lash hairs. You apply it as you would your regular mascara, and then apply your mascara of choice.
PROS: Does add a bit of length to my lashes, and doesn't make my lashes stiff or clumpy as oppose to just my mascara alone. No odd smell either.
CONS: Be careful not to apply it to closely to the base of your lashes becaue the fibers may get in your eye causing discomfort.
Overall: It's a pretty nifty mascara base, I haven't tried too many mascara bases simply because I don't really care for it sometimes, although I have tried Shiseido (nice but not liking the price), and Lancome's Mascara Base, but this one is actually really nice because it has those "tiny fibers" in comparison to the previously mentioned where it doesn't have any.

Full Item Description
Dracorex Steel is a vitrious looking metal that has a unique dichroidic color. The metal has a slick appearance, as if the glass-like metal is wet with oil and is primarily a golden hued color but if turned 30 to 45 degrees, the metal gains a green appearance.
It has the same general properties as middle grade steel, it is certainly strong enough to make weapons and armor out of. It does have a slight propensity towards being brittle if the metal is drawn out too thin, and it does not make good jewelry or jewelry items other than being shaped as pendants, amulets and the like. Rumors of Dracorex chains are unlikely, but there is a certain credence to their persistence.
It is not known how long the Alchemist Guild worked on this project, some speculate that the work was generations in length given the secrecy involved. It is only within recent memory that Dracorex steel was deemed viable and began to see limited circulation. The most common items created from the material were small pendants and charms that 'devoured' weak magics cast at them, mainly along the lines of divination spells and minor offensive spells. this absorbed power was grounded out harmlessly through the caster's body into the ground.
After a few decades of lucrative trading in amulets, charms, and the rare and very expensive ring, the Guild took the next step. A Dracorex steel sword was forged and the true powers of the metal became obvious, as many creatures thought immune to mundane weapons were greviously wounded by the steel and the metal survived attempts to dispel the magic that might have lurked in the blade.
The Secret Formula
Dracorex steel begins as mundane iron, generally of high grade ores that is hammered into cold iron bars, that is no heat is applied in the process, just the sheer effort of manually beating the imperfections out of the chunk of iron. After this the cold iron bars are treated in a vat filled with Tincture of Moly, an herb known for its magic repelling properties.
After this, the metal is brought to the forge, instead of coals, dragonscales billow and smoulder. The scales are hard to ignite, but once they take to fire, they burn for a long time, and burn hotly. The metal is placed in the fire until it glows cherry red. A tedious process of folding and hammering follows with the alchemist/smith adding handfuls of powdered dragon bone to the metal and adding it back to the fire.
Slowly the metal begins to take on a glassy consistancy and it begins to affects a less metallic ring as the hammer strikes it. During this crucial time, the metal is shaped into it's final shape. Most items are lost during this point since there is a point of no return that is passed when the metal tone changes. Prior to this, failed materials can be recycled and a second attempt can be made. Once the metal changes, however, it cannot be recycled as something in its fundamental nature has been changed.
The metal, while still glowing hot, is quenched in a Tincture of Mandragora, a disillation of mandrake root. With a hiss the metal is cooled and takes on its characteristic dichroidic color. There is a superior form of Dracorex steel that evinces a red rather than a green alternate color though the process that causes this is still under intense study. Some alchemists speculate that it could have to do with the type of dragon that the powdered bone was taken from.
Magic/Cursed Properties
Dracorex steel can affect an creature regardless of magical protection, literally slashing through wards and protective spells like flesh and bone. Only mundane armor can resist the metal, and enchanted armors do so with only their base armor rate. Creatures that can only be harmed by magical weapons can be harmed by weapons forged of this metal, including creatures that have damage reduction, protection from metal weapons and the like.
Spells directed at the metal can be dissipated, grounded out by the metal, though the red dracorex steel shows a propensity for reflecting spells off in random directions, if such an action is possible.
Dracorex steel has no bonuses to attacking, or to damage, nor does it grant any protective powers or the like. Attempts to Detect magic or the divine the nature of the metal automatically fail since 1. it would absorb, or dissipate the spell magic to begin with, and 2. it is in no way magical.
Plot Hooks
Sword of the Kingdom - A powerful guild/noble family/state commisions the Alchemists to make them a royal sword as a symbol of the faction. This is very expensive and the weapon is a rare red dracorex steel longsword. The PCs have to 1. protect the sword from thieves in transit 2. steal the sword while in transit 3. wield the sword in defence of the faction, etc.
11 herbs and spices - the Wizard's Guild is VERY unhappy about this new Dracorex steel since it negates many of their core advantages. This would be moreso if the PCs, possibly armed with one or two of these weapons have made a habit of whacking evil mages with their swords. This magebane steel needs rectifying. The PCs, possibly spellcasters, are required to discover the process of making the metal, or finding the mine that the marvelous material is coming from. Can they penetrate the guild, find the secret, and possibly destroy the methods of manufacturing the weapons so effacious at killing mages?
Support Your Local Bounty Hunter - The spell happy PCs are being stalked by a dracorex armed bounty hunter after them for some action they previously took. Perhaps the last lord that they worked for was displeased when their delayed fireball detonated and killed half of the royal guard and wounded many more. The magic reliant PCs are forced to more mundane methods to face and defeat this menace!

- Pronounced smoke with some tobacco. Goes toward earth tones and carries both cherry and earth flavors well but is a young wine. Great for cellaring. Good dryness which would go great with red sauce and gamey meats. Great with lamb and mushrooms, dark sauce is needed.

Congratulations are in order for Chris Klein!
The "American Pie" actor and his girlfriend Laina Rose Thyfault got married Sunday afternoon in Montana, his publicist Jaime Primak Sullivan confirmed to E! News.
According to People magazine, which first reported the news, close to 115 guests witnessed the couple say "I Do" at the Rainbow Ranch in Montana. The specific venue of choice was an outdoor church located on the banks of the Gallatin River that featured vintage pews for guests to sit on.
U.S. & World
"Laina and Chris wanted to stay true to the nature of Montana and chose native grasses, sage and flowers in a soft color palette to reflect the beauty of Montana," their wedding planner Jennifer Horsley of Habitat Events told the publication.
PHOTOS: More celebrity weddings we can't wait for
The wedding ceremony comes after E! News confirmed the news that Klein popped the all-important question towards the end of 2014 at Venice Beach, California.
"Chris and Laina are very happy and look forward to celebrating their engagement over the holidays," his publicist told E! News when the news first broke.
The pair had been dating for almost four years before their engagement and met at a mutual friend's wedding.
Congratulations to the couple on their exciting news!

Cryptofree is a free version of Cryptostorm VPN, with bandwidth restrictions.
Isn't there already a guide for this?
Unfortunately, the current guide is out of date, and needs an adaptation before it can be used on current OpenVPN connect versions. At some point, .conf profiles stopped being supported, and now need to be converted to .ovpn. You can do it yourself if you want, but don't expect me to explain how.
How to:
1. Download the attached ca.crt and cryptofree_client_android1_4.ovpn. MAKE SURE YOU PUT THEM IN THE SAME DIRECTORY.
2. Download OpenVPN Connect from the Play store or FDroid
3. Open the app and select "Import>Import Profile from SD card" from the menu.
4. Go to where you saved the attachments, and select cryptofree_client_android1_4.ovpn
5. Type in whatever you want for the username & password
6. Click connect and you're done!
It's recommended that you check the save box, so you don't have to redo all the steps every time.
If I made a mistake, please say so. You can contact me at [email protected]

My new toy: the Viking Opal 650Posted by Kristin on Thursday, January 30, 2014.
As most of you know my old WalMart Brother sewing machine was getting quite fussy with its tension settings. I also think the timing was off. No matter how new my needle, how good my thread, or how many times I adjusted the tension, it created bird's nests underneath. It took me forever to sew a simple straight seam on a simple cotton...sew, bunch, rip out, and repeat. Over and over. There was screaming. There were tears. There was petting and giving it pep talks. Nothing worked. I even sent it out to be cleaned and tuned up. But it was evidently possessed by the devil of all things sewing and refused to work right.
When I was given the simple task of sewing five three piece hula costumes for my Hawaiian hula class's recital (and one skirt was five yards of fabric...with three ruffles...that equals 20 yards of hemming I was doing per skirt...plus the additional 15 yards of stitching to attach the ruffles. Multiply that by five skirts and you get miles and miles and miles of sewing) I decided that I needed to upgrade. Immediately.
I had narrowed my search to three models, the Janome Magnolia (the cheapest), the Viking Opal 650 (the mid range), and the BabyLock Elizabeth (the most expensive). I briefly considered the Brother CS6000i, a very affordable and popular computerized machine. My aunt had one and loved it. But I was leery of another Brother (by another mother...sorry...couldn't resist!).
The local store that worked on my old Brother sold Janomes and Berninas. I knew I wanted computerized and something that would not require a second mortgage on the house. That left me with the Janome Magnolia. Plus it had pretty flowers on it! But I wanted a few more features than it provided so I marked it off the list.
I used the BabyLock Elizabeth during my studio classes and Pins & Needles in Raleigh and loved it! But I just couldn't justify the cost. In addition, my nearest dealer was over 45 minutes away. So it was marked off as well.
Which left me with the Viking Opal 650. It had all of the features I wanted and it was affordable. It doesn't have a thread cutter, which would have been nice. Or automatic tension control. But it has more stitches than I know what to do with, a lovely computerized screen, fantastic lighting, and pretty turquoise markings. So it matches my sewing room (priorities, right?).
Here is my little beauty!
The Opal 650 and 670 both have the "Sewing Advisor". I just select my fabric type, and it tells me what type of needle and foot I need as well as the recommended stitch with the stitch length and width. I don't have to follow that, but it is a nice starting point. If I select a different stitch, it automatically adjusts the width and length for my type of fabric. Again, I can still adjust those, but it is a good guideline. I kept glancing at the screen thinking it had a clock. It doesn't. Husqvarna-Viking, add a clock!!!
I believe the 670 has a stylus to use and is a touch screen. The 650 does not. But since I am upgrading from a model with three turn dials, I don't feel like I am missing out on anything!
The 670 also has a low bobbin warning. The 650 is lacking that feature but the drop in bobbin cover is transparent, so I can see when it is getting low. All Viking machines take Viking bobbins and JoAnn's had one pack for $15.00. Right now I'm just using the 5 my machine came with instead of buying more. I kind of miss having a bobbin already wound for my most used thread colors, but somehow I am surviving. On the bright side, the bobbin can only go in with the "H" symbol on the top, so there is no inserting it wrong while in a hurry and making a mess. Also? You can wind your bobbin while keeping the machine threaded! Not that threading a machine takes more than 30 seconds, but it feels like such a time saver.
More funness - I can adjust my needle up or down with a button. That way when I stop in the middle of a line of stitching to readjust something, I can have the needle automatically stop in the down position. And it has a "fix" button. As much as I wish that was a magic button to "fix" my mistakes, it still does something cool...it tacks the thread for you without having to backstitch at the beginning or end of a line. I thought I would never use the "stop/start" button because I felt uncomfortable letting go of the control the foot pedal gives me. But when you are hemming five 5 yard skirts with three ruffles each that also need hemming? That button is a blessing! And at the highest speed the fabric flies through it! I wouldn't use it for things that aren't perfectly straight for miles on end. It is kinda like cruise control on the car...great for the interstate but not for back mountain roads.
So far, I have put this little machine through a workout. I mentioned the hula costumes...
My machine sailed through these without even a hiccup. And this is where that handy dandy bobbin winding without unthreading came in handy as I went through spools of red thread.
I also made a couple of toddler boys some dinosaur capes as Christmas gifts. These are made out of fleece and fully lined. Since I only have dogs, a cat, and a fish, I got Max to model these for you. He was ecstatic as you can tell. Bailey was smart and refused to sit still, so she got out of modeling duty.
Any machine that can go through two thick fleece layers of spikes AND two layers of green cape all at the same time gets an A+ in my book. At first I was a little worried these capes would be too hot because the fleece was so thick. Then the Earth flipped on its axis and Virginia ended up at the North Pole. The weight of these was fine.
I don't have a serger, but I love the coverstitch options on my Opal. It worked perfectly for my Lola dress.
I don't have many negatives except for the clock feature (I can't think of many machines that do have a clock...actually none. Still want it though.) and it is LOUD! Although I had played with it in the store, I suppose the store was loud enough that I didn't notice how loud the machine was. Not a deal breaker, but was hoping for more of a happy hum as it worked, not a full out song.
Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase. I also like that I have a dealer here in town and if anything does go wrong, I can get a loaner machine while mine is being serviced. I realize choosing a sewing machine is an extremely personal decision and you need to take a few out for test drives before making a decision. So I'm not saying "YOU MUST BUY THIS ONE!". But if you do, you won't be disappointed.

Peaches' last baby column published
Peaches Geldof wrote about her life of "bliss" in her final parenting column - published posthumously - before her death.
The 25-year-old mother of two had recently signed up as a columnist for Mother & Baby magazine.
The words, in which she credits her young sons Astala and Phaedra with rescuing her from a life of "wanton wanderlust", have been published following her sudden death "as a tribute to Peaches and with the blessing of her family".
Peaches penned the column some time before her 25th birthday in March, writing: " I wanted an anchor - I craved it.
"And, when I had two wailing, smiling, joyful little blobs of waddling pink flesh, they became my entire existence, and saved me from one of pure apathy."
The former party girl wrote that she found herself suddenly "friendless" and felt "alienated" as "fair-weather" friends didn't want to know once she couldn't go out for "wine-soaked" dinners.
But she soon realised that "everything else was nothingness and it just... didn't matter. I had the perfect life - two beautiful babies who loved me more than anything. It was, and is, bliss."
"Now, with a new-found group of mummy mates, both locally and online... I'm happier than ever," she said.
"My real old friends have stuck by me and connect me to my old life (I sometimes forget I'm only 24), treating me to nights out that let me forget about dirty nappies at least for a minute.
"So, I've achieved a sort of perfect balance."
Peaches, whose TV presenter mum Paula Yates died in 2000 of a drug overdose, added: "Right now life is good. And being a mum is the best part of it."

Hormoz Shariat
"The Billy Graham of Iran"
Because of Iran Alive Ministries' effective satellite television broadcasts to the Middle East and Europe, Dr. Hormoz Shariat has been called "the Billy Graham of Iran." * Iran Alive's ministry reaches millions of people and has brought hundreds of thousands of Muslims to Jesus Christ since its inception.
Dr. Hormoz Shariat was born into a Muslim family in Iran. He came to the United States after the Islamic Revolution of 1979. Dr. Shariat came to Christ while a graduate student in 1980, has a PhD in Computer Engineering from USC, and a Bachelors in Bible and Theology. In 1987, he planted a church in San Jose, California. With hundreds of Muslim converts, it remains one of the largest churches of its kind in the United States.
His passion for Muslims stems, in part, because of the murder of Dr. Shariat's brother, Hamraz, who was arrested in Iran at the age of 16 on a minor political charge. After two years in jail, he was executed by firing squad. God showed Hormoz the best way to respond to this tragedy was to dedicate his life to loving Muslims and sharing the Gospel with as many of them as possible.
Christianity Today, Charisma and other publications have featured Iran Alive Ministries and Dr. Shariat. Dr. Shariat has been a guest on numerous national and international radio and TV programs including the 700 Club and the Inspiration Channel.

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Sophomore sprinter Mercedes Jackson (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown) clipped her school-record time even lower as she finished 13th overall in the preliminary round of the 100m dash of the NCAA East Regionals, Thursday evening at North Carolina A&T's Irwin Bell Track at Aggie Stadium.
Having edged her own record down to 11.51 while winning the ECAC Championships two weeks ago, Jackson continued her progress to the NCAA Championships in Oregon by running a career-best time of 11.46 on Thursday. The sophomore standout finished second in heat four behind Clemson's Dezerea Bryant (10.36) to advance to Friday. Aurieyall Scott of Central Florida posted the best time of the prelim round, crossing the line in 11.15.
The top-12 times from Friday's finals advance to the national meet at the University of Oregon.
In the men's race, senior Dennison Long (Greenbelt, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt/FIU) ran his second-fastest time of the season, 10.47, to place sixth in heat five, and 31st overall. Isiah Young from Ole Miss set the pace in the prelim round with a time of 9.99.
Long set his career-best time earlier this year when he won the 100m dash at the Mason Spring Invitational with a time of 10.39.
The second day of the three-day regional meet opens on Friday morning with the women's hammer throw at 10:00 a.m. In addition to racing in the 100m dash semifinals, Jackson will run in the 200m prelims tomorrow. Two other Retrievers will compete on Friday as senior Trae Proctor (Brandywine, Md./Thomas Stone) will run in the 110m hurdle prelims and freshman Vincent Rentzsch (Oranienburg, Germany) will try to earn a trip to the West Coast in the javelin.

The Motor Carrier Division (MCD), in cooperation with the Maryland State Police (MSP) Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division (CVED), the Maryland Transportation Authority Police (MdTAP) Commercial Vehicle Safety Unit (CVSU) and allied law enforcement agencies certified to enforce motor carrier law is responsible for the safe movement of commercial motor vehicles (CMV) along Maryland highways. The MSP and MdTAP operate 13 TWIS with permanent scales and four additional stations that utilize portable scales to check CMV's for compliance with State and federal safety, as well as size and weight requirements. Seven sites utilize weigh-in-motion (WIM) devices to pre-screen for weight violations. Additional electronic screening for CMV credentialing (e.g. fuel tax and safety rating) is being deployed for increased efficiency and effectiveness in maintaining CMV safety.
For further information on the Truck Weigh and Inspection Program, call the Motor Carrier Division, 7491 Connelley Drive, Hanover, Maryland 21076, Telephone 410-582-5734.
For further information on the TWIS operated by the MSP, call the CVED at 410-694-6100. For stations operated by the MdTAP, call the CVSU 410-537-1126.
Based upon Maryland statistical data, 1.8 million trucks and commercial vehicles are weighed, and 95,000 vehicles are inspected each year. Overweight vehicles, in addition to being a potential safety hazard to highway traffic, strain existing pavement and the design life expectancy of roads and bridges. To minimize damage by excessively heavy vehicles, Maryland adopted the federal bridge formula and table, commonly known as the "Bridge Table," which is detailed on page 102 in the Maryland Motor Carrier Handbook (PDF, 946Kb). Maryland utilizes platform scales and WIM equipment at its TWIS, and portable scales at pull-off locations and other sites.
The maximum allowable vehicle width in Maryland is 102 inches, except when prohibited by posted signs. The width of a vehicle includes any load that it carries, exclusive of safety and energy conservation devices, such as side mirrors, turn signal lamps, marker lamps, steps and handholds for entry and egress. For a detailed description of the Maryland vehicle width law, refer to Title 24, Subsection 102 of the Maryland Vehicle Law (locate these descriptions at the website of the Maryland General Assembly.

Google's Gmail Goes Offline
Google today announced the release of offline Gmail. The early version of the app is available now to users with the U.S./U.K. English version of Google Labs.
Pegged as an "experimental" feature, the app is aimed at maintaining Gmail's functionality even when you're not online. Built on Google's Gear's platform, once enabled the feature downloads a cache of your mail to your PC. When you're logged on the Web, it syncs the cache with the Gmail servers.
While you're offline, you can read, star, and label messages. If you send a message when you're offline, Gmail places it in your outbox and sends it as soon as you log back in. A special "flaky connection" setting splits the difference between on and offline modes ("when you're 'borrowing' your neighbor's wireless," says Google), utilizing a local cache while syncing it with the online version.
The feature will be rolling out to all U.S./U.K. Google Labs users over the next few days.
