text: The whaling fleet plans to kill hundreds of whales during its annual Antarctic hunt [EPA] Japanese media had earlier reported that the target catch for this season's hunt would be cut back in an effort to avoid protests, but fisheries officials say no such cut is planned. 'Research' Japan calls its hunting expeditions a scientific programme, and says they provide crucial data on the mammals. Environmentalists argue that this is a cover for continued commercial whaling, which was banned by the International Whaling Commission in 1986. They say there is nothing that can be learned about whales solely by killing them. The whaling fleet, whose ships carry the motto "Research" painted on their sides, sell the whale meat from the hunt for consumption back in Japan. The Australian anti-whaling group Sea Shepherd has said it plans to deploy its own ship to Antarctica to disrupt the Japanese whaling fleet. Last year, a Japanese whaling ship and a ship owned by Sea Shepherd collided twice near a pod of whales. The group's activists also dumped a foul-smelling acid on another whaling boat, slightly injuring two crew members. SOURCE: Agencies

Where to find secluded beaches at the west coast?
Holidays in Auckland attract city travellers and beach enthusiasts all the same. The closeness of Hauraki Gulf, Waitemata Harbour, Manukau Harbour and the west coast ensure a wide selection on busy and secluded beaches for activities around water.
|Whatipu, scientific reserve for shorebirds
Often some effort has to be made to reach remote beaches at Auckland's west coast. Yet, every single one leaves an idyllic memory to holidays in Auckland and therefore is worth every bit of effort. The beaches are best reached by vehicle. Those on holidays may want to check out the wide range of budget rental cars by national or international car rental company on offer.
All remote beaches have no surf life guards patrolling. Meaning for the west coast where a vivid surf and unpredictable rips are present to stick to the golden rule and secure memorable New Zealand holidays:
When sea conditions and your own abilities are unknown save your swimming and surfing fun for patrolled beaches. There advice and help is close.
Maori Bay is south of Muriwai and accessed by a left turn just before the Beach. Local surfers seem to like this little sheltered Bay.
The car park hosts toilets and changing rooms. From there a steep way leads down to the beach.
O'Neill Bay shares the car park and facilities with Bethells Beach. It is a five minutes walk to the north past Bethells Beach.
Best conditions are in high tide with any swell and wind direction.
Send an e-card of New Zealand beach sunsets.
It means eight kilometres drive on an unsealed winding Anawhata Road. The road ends in a car park with composting toilet.
A thirty minutes long track reaps rewards with scenic views. Sights open up to the beach and spectacular rounded volcanic hills.
Whites Beach is reached only by foot. A track hidden by bush that starts at the end of North Piha. Walking for twenty minutes steep uphill and then downhill rewards with wonderful views over a small bay.
Whatipu Beach gives the chance to catch up with history on New Zealand holidays. Discover the caves (take a torch with you). Once the more spacious ones were meeting places for workers of the the timber milling industry. The views from the caves stretch to wide wetlands between beach and cliffs.
Wonga-Wonga Bay at the mouth of the Manukau Harbour at the south end of the beach was the place where land transport of the timber changed to transport on water.
A lodge offers accommodation in historical buildings to individuals or groups. This gives occasion to enjoy Whatipu more extensively with it's hiking tracks and look outs.
From here an eight kilometres beach
walk brings you to
Karekare Point and
The thumbnail leads to a NZ shore bird puzzle online.
One rule applies to all beaches visited on holidays in Auckland:
Take only memories. Leave nothing
but footprints.
--Chief Seattle--
More quotations are found here.
In New Zealand the sun is burning. The UV ray protecting ozone layer is damaged. This leaves a high sunburn risk and may result in future health impairment.

For regular updates about our Environmental garden, please visit the garden blog and like our Facebook page – Holy Trinity School Garden Facebook page
The environmental garden at Holy Trinity Primary School was started on a large plot of overgrown ground in 2008 with the donation of a show garden from the RHS Hampton Court Flower Show.
This donation kick-started the development of the area by the Garden Group which is made up of parents, governors, teachers and friends of the school. The aim of the group is to provide a garden that allows children to experience the wonder of nature and thrill of growing plants and vegetables. As well as being a place to experience gardening hands on, it is also a space that provides learning opportunities for many other subjects.
The garden now has an area of 19 raised beds, one for each class. There is a bird garden with a hide, a large wildlife pond, a quiet memory corner and a WWII garden. There are 8 water butts around the garden and three large compost bins. There is also a small wind turbine and solar panel. All of this has been achieved with the hard work and fundraising endeavours of the Garden Group. None of the school's education budget is allocated to this garden.
The garden is home to a great deal of wildlife and there are special bird boxes, bat boxes, bee hotels, hedgehog houses and a frog home. The garden had been the Winner in the Schools section of the Dorset Wildlife Trust, Wildlife Friendly Garden, once in 2011 and again in 2015.
In 2012, the Garden Group were proud to open for the National Gardens Scheme and raised over £400 for charity. The NGS Open Weekend has now become an annual event in the school calendar.
A floodlit school carol service is held every December in the garden and is very popular.
The garden is also used by other groups from outside the school and will always be there for all the community to benefit from.
In 2015 the Garden Group were able to make a start on the long anticipated Jurassic Garden which was designed for the school by year 2 Horticulture Students from Kingston Maurward College who treated it as a project for their course work. Reliefs of fossils around during the Jurassic period have been created by a local craftsman. As a school situated on the Jurassic Coast, we hope that the finished garden will help the children to understand a little more about what 'Jurassic' means.
The Garden Group volunteers meet regularly to help maintain and improve the school garden and to hold the occasional BBQ. If you are interested in being involved with this worthwhile aspect of school life, please leave your details with the school office.

Tim Pawlenty visited the Iowa State Fair on Friday, the day before a poor third place showing at the state's straw poll. Photo by David Chalian.
Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty announced Sunday he is ending his campaign for the White House.
"I wish it would have been different, but obviously the pathway forward for me doesn't exist so we are going to end the campaign," Pawlenty told guest host Jake Tapper on ABC News' "This Week with Christiane Amanpour."
Pawlenty said that his campaign for the GOP presidential nomination "needed to get some lift" out of Saturday's straw poll in Ames, Iowa, and his distant third place showing behind Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and Texas Rep. Ron Paul failed to do that.
The Minnesotan refrained from endorsing one of his Republican rivals, but said that he will likely make an endorsement later in the campaign.
Bachmann edged out Paul by a margin of less than one percent. Bachmann won 4,823 votes of the nearly 17,000 cast compared to Paul's 4,671 votes. Both candidates more than doubled Pawlenty's third place take of 2,293 votes.
Pawlenty was keenly aware he had a lot riding on Saturday's straw poll. At a debate in Ames on Thursday night, Pawlenty drew a sharp contrast between his record and Bachmann's record, but the feisty performance did little to dent her ascendant campaign.
Pawlenty has been traveling the country attempting to put together a network of donors and key early state supporters in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina for the better part of the last two years. He was attempting to position himself as the clear alternative to frontrunner Mitt Romney, but the Tea Party energy driving the enthusiasm inside the base of the Republican Party appears to be seeking something other than "Minnesota Nice."
With Pawlenty out of the race, Bachmann and Texas Gov. Rick Perry will begin what may prove to be a two-way battle in Iowa to become the alternative to Romney when they address the county Republican organization in Waterloo, Iowa, on Sunday evening.
As for the former Minnesota governor, he is going to help move his daughter to college this week.

Supposedly this is a bad thing. This week the reaction to the news that City AM, the London business freesheet, will open up its website to paying content-producers was hostile, at least among those who work in the media. Clients "will be given direct access to the content management system (CMS) of the newspaper's website," according to Ian Burrell.
There are all sorts of potential problems with that, well-stated here. But it's not the end of the world. City AM's idea differs little from the Huffington Post's blogs or Buzzfeed's 'community' site. What's more, companies are already producing content on their own platforms. Migrating to more popular news sites in itself isn't a problem.
Watch Goldman Sachs' video: 'Artisanal Appeal: The Rise of Craft'. It's, um, quite good? Informative, well-produced and edited. If Goldman wants to pay City AM to publish this on their website, then who is being badly served?
Corporations "have some of the biggest experts in their field, much better than probably any journalist in London," Muncaster, City AM's managing director, told Burrell. I think that's fair — and not every story requires a journalist to intermediate.
Clearly though, a lot do. Here's a new website — www.advancingtogether.com — set up last month by representatives of Bayer, a German agricultural giant, to promote its proposed $63 billion+ acquisition of Monsanto, a U.S. rival. The site features information and a filmed interview with Bayer's CEO.
Like most M&A, the takeover resembles high-stakes poker and there is skepticism about whether it makes sense. Bayer isn't going to say that, so they shouldn't be the only guys writing the news. If Bayer were to pay City AM to publish their take, cool. But if it were paying to replace the journalists' coverage of the deal with its own slick reporting, maybe that's not a good thing.
The worry about paid content in the news industry in recent years is that its value to clients lies in the opaque understandings between publishers and advertisers that the rest of us don't realise. The question is whether there is enough space for the free media to raise cash without going into that grey zone.

In 2010, following its Nintendo DS release, Capcom published Ace Attorney creator Shuu Takumi's Ghost Trick on iTunes for the iPhone. Then, in 2011, an update optimized the game for the iPad and added a few minigames to it, and iTunes users that already owned the game got to download the update for free.
Today, Ghost Trick is being released for iTunes worldwide. The game is localized in English, French, German, Spanish and Italian. Ghost Trick's overseas release will follow the same price scheme as it did in Japan. The first two chapters of the game are available for free.
Additional chapters can be bought via the game's title screen. Subsequent chapters will be available in three different packs for $4.99/£2.99/€3.99 each or $9.99/£6.99/€7.99 for all chapters.

Introduction to The Big New Yorker Book of Cats
Anthony Lane | New Yorker | 29 October 2013
To enjoy this you need a taste both for the company of cats, and for the writing style of Anthony Lane. But if you tick both boxes, this is the piece you've been waiting for all these years. "You cannot fact-check a cat. Many people have tried, some of them fluent in Persian or Burmese, but all have fallen short. In contrast to the magazine, and to this capacious book, cats are unreadable, and happy to remain so."
A pledge to my readers
Michael Erard | Medium | 28 October 2013
"Getting fresh, organic verbs used to pose a challenge, because of the unusual way they propagate. Yet once I began searching out indigenous varieties of words, I was surprised to find all sorts that aren't known outside the local area. There's a small, family-run verb operation that conjugates them in small batches, the old-fashioned way. I also stumbled across a number of hard-to-find heirloom verbs".
Benefits of a hangover
Nick Richardson | London Review of Books | 25 October 2013
Review of Daily Rituals by Mason Currey, on the working methods of writers and other artists. Drink figures prominently. "Patricia Highsmith would hit the vodka before starting work, not to perk her up, but to reduce her energy levels, which veered toward the manic. She also surrounded herself with pet snails, in the hope that some of the slowness would rub off." Melville would feed his cow a pumpkin before work.
An interview with Chinese writer Yu Hua
Megan Shank | LA Review Of Books | 25 October 2013
Conversation about Chinese literature and language, opening with a short list of recommended reading. "As for the 20th century, my favourite writer is Lu Xun. Every word he wrote was like a bullet, like a bullet straight to the heart. Lu Xun's contemporary Guo Moruo is China's most overrated writer. Shen Congwen used to be the most underrated, but now he's attained the stature he deserve".
Ian Buruma in Conversation
Jonathan Derbyshire | Prospect | 25 October 2013
Buruma discusses his new book, Year Zero: A History of 1945. "The Soviet Red Army was actively encouraged by their leaders to wreak vengeance on the Germans. They behaved horribly in Germany and in the places they went through to get there but what the Soviets did to the Germans was not nearly as horrible as what the Germans had done to them. There was also a political agenda. Vengeance on a large scale cannot be spontaneous".
Ironic bold
Keith Houston | New Statesman | 24 October 2013
Irony is easy to convey in speech, hard to convey in writing. Almost since the dawn of moveable type, writers and scholars have been suggesting typographical conventions to signal ironic intent. Erasmus called for an irony mark in 1509, though he didn't say what it should be. Five centuries later, Tom Driberg proposed a font that would slope in the opposite direction from italics, and would be called "ironics".
The greatest philosopher of the 20th Century
David Papineau | Times Literary Supplement | 21 October 2013
The title may well belong to FP Ramsey, who died at 26, having "figured out the principles governing subjective probability, and so opened the way to decision theory, game theory and much work in the foundations of economics… Contemporary debates about truth, meaning, knowledge, logic and the structure of scientific theories all take off from positions first defined by Ramsey". He translated Wittgenstein, who overshadowed him.
The new king of trash publishing
Noreen Malone | New Republic | 21 October 2013
Conversation with Jeremie Ruby-Strauss, editor at Simon & Schuster, who made his name publishing I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell, and has been working his way downmarket ever since. His authors include Snooki and a Real Housewife of Beverley Hills. "It shouldn't be about the book but the money you can make from the book." The best author is one who brings his or her own readership from a blog or Twitter feed.

I'd like to calculate what chainring to use with a Sram Spectro 5 internally geared hub with 19T cog. At what point is the hub geared 1:1? Is it first gear? So a 38T chainring would yield ratio of 2 and it would only get harder from there. With a 251% gear range, 5th gear would yield a gear ratio of 5.02. Did I get this right?
Thanks for the help,

The elastic, toy box like lead break on Polo's track 'Louder Than Words' got us from the very first round. This provides the perfect counterpoint for the lead vocal with it's subtle rasp. The kick is super tight and punchy, maybe a touch too much at points as it seemed to jump in front of the vocal. Definitely going to be keeping our ears on what comes next from camp Polo.

Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif today congratulated India on becoming a member of the SCO along with Pakistan and said that leaders should leave a "legacy of peace and amity" for future generations and not a "toxic harvest" of conflict and animosity.
In his address at the annual Summit of the SCO in the Kazakh capital, Sharif welcomed a proposal made by Chinese President Xi Jinping on a five-year treaty for good neighbourliness among SCO members.
He thanked the founding members including China, Russia and others for their staunch support to Pakistan and enabling the country's accession into the grouping.
"The SCO goals resonate with Pakistan's national ethos, and so do the core values of the Shanghai spirit and the SCO charter with our own quest for peaceful neighbourhood," Sharif said.
"As leaders, we should leave a legacy of peace and amity for our future generations, not a toxic harvest of conflict and animosity. Instead of talking about counter-weights and containment, let us create shared spaces for all," Sharif said in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
He then congratulated India, which also became a full member of the SCO, Pakistan's official APP news agency reported.
He also said that in the coming decades, the SCO, which has emerged as a 'sheet anchor' for regional stability would serve as a strong link between Asia Pacific, East Asia, West Asia and the Atlantic region.
"It is destined to become a cornerstone of global politics and economics, with economics gaining primacy," Sharif said.
"The SCO gives us a powerful platform for partnerships to promote peace, build trust and spur economic development for shared prosperity," he said.
"Moreover, it helps us all combat terrorism, reduce arms race, eliminate poverty... deal with natural disasters, tackle climate change and assure water security," he added.
Sharif said that the expansion of the SCO has taken place at an 'opportune time' as China's 'One Belt, One Road' (OBOR) initiative has transformed the global economic landscape.
"In Pakistan, we are diligently implementing the China- Pakistan Economic Corridor, which is a flagship of the OBOR," he said. "What is more, these megaprojects will benefit the entire SCO community."
Pakistan, which has been an observer at the SCO since 2005, applied for a permanent membership in 2010. The decision to grant Pakistan membership was made by the SCO Heads of States in a meeting held in Ufa, Russia, in 2015.
Founded in 2001, the SCO till now was comprised of six member states, mainly focusing on military cooperation between the members which involves intelligence sharing and counter- terrorism operations in Central Asia.
Leaders should leave 'legacy of peace' not 'toxic harvest' of animosity: Sharif

The Twilight Saga: New Moon
Thinking that their relationship will lead nowhere because he is a vampire, Edward departs from the city with his family, leaving the 18-year old Bella alone and depressed. Out of caprice, she starts seeking cheap thrills and hanging out with Jacob Black - but he turns out to be a werewolf. After a lot of misadventures, Edward and Bella reunite since he only left her to protect her. Bella agrees to become a vampire herself, but that will inevitably breach the peace pact between werewolves and vampires, since the latter promised not to bite any humans. Edward nontheless proposes her.
From today's stance, it is hard to figure out why the "Twilight" movie saga caused such a hype nor why did millions of teenagers fall for such a transparent story. While the first movie had at least some sense and charm, resulting from the romance of two outsiders, part II, "New Moon", is so thin that it could only make the viewers feel like in a "Twilight Zone". One wonders how so little content, so little story can be stretched out into a running time of 130 minutes when it could have served as a fine short movie: "New Moon" is a soap opera, a movie that is so empty that it has no meaningful dialogues, no events, no humor, no tangle - and even no suntan for the two protagonists, either. The most interesting part of the movie is that Edward departs, leaves Bella and is absent for almost an hour from the storyline, which causes a rather fine mood that explores Bella's depression from loneliness, as well as her reckless, almost suicidal thrill events through which she almost neurotically tries to cause Edward's intervention, his return so that he could save her. The always good Graham Greene almost steals the show here and there in his small role of Harry. But that is it, and it is too little to compensate for the uneventful rest of the movie, which quickly returns back into the standard ludicrous mode of a crazy rivalry between vampires and werewolves. Still, even though it has only one truly great scene, it deserves to be mentioned: while Bella sits in her living room, the camera circles around her three times, each time passing the window in front of her that each time shows different seasons outside, from leaves falling in October up to snow covering the exterior in December.

So sometimes when I am bored ( yes believe it or not I do get bored) I sometimes surf various flash sites for small games I can play. One game did caught my attention Clicker heroes.
Clicker heroes is a type of game in the idle genre if you don't know what an idle game is allow me to explain:
An idle game is basically a game that plays itself. (such as cookie clicker, or web tycoon) in the beginning you have to click like mad to generate money for your game. but sooner or later you can buy some decent upgrades that lets the game auto click or play itself. If the game is really well programmed you don't have to have the game running in the background since it will run while your browser is closed. You get the picture.
So what is so special about Clicker heroes?
Clicker heroes is a game where you have to level up various heroes that you unlock and kill monsters. the goal? Level up doing as much damage as possible and earn as much gold as possible to level and purchase more heroes unlocks and hero souls. Did I mention that game has cute monsters?
Clicker Heroes itself is super easy to play but it does require your attention when you get to the stage that you unlock skills and primal bosses.
If you want to know just what i am talking about head over to here www.clickerheroes.com and see for yourself. it's a very fun flash game that will get you addicted in no time.
Another neat thing about this game is the fact the devs keep upgrading the game. soon they will release v 0.12 that will add another interesting twist to the game: The Ancients mechanic.
It wouldn't be fair to write a review about this game yet since it's still in early stages. But I can promise you the game is fun!
Game on

So, if you've been reading my blog for the past couple of years or so you might notice that I'm a bit of a Jay Kristoff fan. I fell in love The Illuminae Files and more recently, finally read The Nevernight Chronicles (although I'm yet to finish Darkdawn) and fell head over heels for everyone's favourite knife wife, Mia Corverre, her friends, her companions and her enemies. So when tickets for the London Darkdawn launch with the man himself went live I frantically ordered myself and my husband (who adored The Illuminae Files too) one each right away.
We travelled up with friendlings and had lunch beforehand before heading to Goldsboro books to pick up our special editions of Darkdawn. I'd never been before and the store was small but lovely. I think the Goldsboro edition of Darkdawn may be one of the best-looking books I have ever seen and certainly my favourite. When we purchased our books the salesperson wrapped each one with a protective plastic covering which to me, was a beautiful personal touch and I certainly plan to order from there again in the future.
From Goldsboro we headed straight to the venue (give or take some coffee and ice cream), St James's Church, just past the huge Waterstones Picadilly store. Having been to an event there before with Leigh Bardugo and then again with Cassie Clare and Holly Black we knew that arriving early was essential to getting a good seat and to be in with a chance of getting our books signed fairly quickly so we didn't get back too late. We arrived at around 3pm and there were only two other people in front of us which was a bonus. I had brought my Waterstones copy of Darkdawn with me to read in the queue and my 3DS but in the end we actually all ended up chatting to each other and friends as they arrived. About 3:30/4 Jay actually popped out to see us which was awesome, he seemed genuinely shocked that we were waiting there for his event that didn't start for another four hours. I maaay have embarrassed myself when I saw him, greeting him with a "Hey Loser" because I have no idea how to actually be cool and it seemed funny at the time? I'm not sure my friends or husband will ever let me live it down…
We were let into the venue (I think) a little earlier than seven which was nice and it was starting to get chilly and looked like it may rain. We managed to get one of the front seats which was brilliant, especially as I'm pretty damned short! It was nice chatting to everyone and in what felt like no time at all the event was underway, starting with a talk chaired by Samantha Shannon who I've seen chair a few times now and she's absolutely fantastic at it. The talk lasted an hour with some questions at the end and it was probably one of the best talks I've been to, it was hilarious, heartwarming and informative. Some highlights were:
- Finding out Nevernight came about after an argument between two friends one New Years Eve about the "dreaded" C-Word and whether it was an insult or not (If you've read Nevernight this will make a lot more sense).
- World Building – Jay likes to address the broad first, i.e the key differences between our world and the fictional world.
- The three things Jay can talk about at the drop of a hat are marvel comics, Lord of the Rings and Ancient Rome.
- A lot of Jay's inspiration for his writing comes from history, saying "The weirdest thing you can probably imagine has actually happened and it was probably weirder than you can imagine."
- "Jesus is okay with F*ck" (in response to not using the C-Word in church but dropping all of the F-Bombs.
- Blowing Samantha Shannon's mind when she discovered you could sleep with characters in some RPG video games, this example was The Witcher (Jay's a Yen man y'all) and the unicorn scene. This moment was hilarious and as a gamer, it felt like chilling out chatting with a bunch of friends.
- His number one piece of writing advice is to get to the fun (he used a brilliant Simpsons analogy "When are they going to get to the fireworks factory?!" Nevernight originally featured a ten-year-old Mia exploring Godsgrave.
- Jay's shadow companion would be a Jack Russell.
- We got some more information about Jay's next adult fantasy book "Empire of the Vampire" which I'm crazy excited for and may have whopped and cheered when he announced it.
- The book that changed everything for Jay was The Hobbit, saying "I found my people in that book" and I actually got misty-eyed here because this was a big important book for me too for many of the same reasons.
- I got to ask a question about his use of slang in most of his books (my favourite, "Son of a biscuit" it turns out was an Amie Kauffman invention) and he showed me how to correctly give someone the knuckles (I was SO close).
After this came the signing and it was a little bit of a mess to be honest, some people were pretty peeved that those who had arrived after them were being let up to sign before them etc but we were still in the first row that were able to do so which was pretty awesome with me and we didn't have to wait long at all. I was however incredibly nervous! After a joke about throwing his books, I had got a shirt personalised for myself (which I was wearing) and one for him saying "I only throw Jay Kristoff books" and felt like maybe it was a bit weird but it turns out he actually loved it (see vlog at the end of this post for reaction). He doodled a Mr Kindly in my copy of Nevernight, signed my copy of Godsgrave and a Nevernight poster I'd brought with me as long as our copies of the Illumine Files and chatted with Chris about getting back into reading etc which was lovely. We did have our picture taken with him too but honestly me and Chris look like nervous wrecks in it so have a nice picture of one of my signed books instead.
I had a fantastic time and despite the organisational issues with the signing (which were a lot worse as time went on, we were very very lucky as a friend in the fourth row waited for over two hours). I really really hope Jay decides to come back to the UK in the future, maybe him AND Amie for one of the Aurora Rising releases or maybe Empire of the Vampire who knows!
Did you make it to one of the events? If so what was one of your highlights? If you couldn't make it but would have liked to what would one question would you have asked Jay?

We are updating our new website in stages. This page will be changed to the new design but is not currently optimised for mobile devices.
Fun at home activity
Make a glorious 1913-style top hat or boater.
This activity was inspired by the Glorious Days: Australia 1913 exhibition.
Questions to get you started
To get started, try to imagine what life might have been like 100 years ago?
- Do you think that people dressed the same as they do now?
- Can you imagine how life would be different without the Internet?
- Imagine what type of hat you might like to make? Will it be a top hat or a boater?
- How will you decorate your hat? How will you make your hat reflect your personality?
Suitable for ages 5+. This activity was designed to be made with the help of an adult.
Children in the 'Bunting, badges and bowties' Discovery Space at the National Museum inspired by the Glorious Days: Australia 1913 exhibition, featuring artworks, costume, music and newsreel footage from Australia as it was a century ago. You might like to make your own at home.
What you need
- Cardboard. One piece of A3 cardboard and a longer piece 65cm x 14cm (for a boater-style hat) or 65cm x 22cm (for a top hat). Tip: you can join two pieces of cardboard together to make a longer strip.
- Some decorative paper
- Tissue paper to make decorative flowers
- Stapler
- Glue
- Scissors
What to do
- Collect all of your materials and spread them out.
- Cut the longer piece of cardboard to size: 65cm x 14cm for a boater or 65cm x 22cm for a top hat. This will be your hat body.
- On the top and the bottom of the hat body, cut a series of 2-3cm triangular tabs, or V-shaped notches. This will help give your hat its round shape and give you an edge to glue onto.
4. Fold all the triangular tabs over, top row back and bottom row forward.
5. Print out the hat template circles and glue them to your piece of A3 cardboard.
6. Cut out the circles. Tip: Circles can be tricky, so ask an adult if you need help. Keep the central circle because it will be the top of your hat.
7. Now put your hat together! Take the hat body and join the ends, so it makes a cylindrical shape. Staple at the top and bottom.
8. Slide this circle into the hat rim. The tabs you folded out should be at the bottom to glue the rim to the hat body.
9. Now glue the top on to the tabs you folded in at the top of your hat body.
10. Congratulations, you have just made your hat! Now the decorating fun begins. You can use ribbon, pattern paper, felt or any of your favourite craft materials.
11. Try your hat on and look in the mirror!
Share your creation
If you would like to share your creation with us, send a photo to firstname.lastname@example.com
We'll add your creation to our Flickr stream, where you can see some great examples of hats other people have made and decorated as part of Bunting, badges and bowties.

It appears that spring may finally have arrived. The weather has been warming up for the last couple of weeks, trees are greening up, tulips and flowering trees are in bloom, I've had to mow the lawn twice already … yep, spring is here.
That's not to say that there is no further threat of a cold spell, though. It's a rule of thumb around here that May 15 is the day after which it is usually, though not always, safe to put out the plants. Another such rule holds that you don't put things out until its green all the way to the top of the mountain. That's still a couple of weeks away, by my judgment.
It was very nice today, pretty cloudy, but about 82 degrees, and I was out trying to finish up cleaning up the property this afternoon. Still many leaves and other remnants of fall and winter to take care of, and also spraying the unwanted little green things that spring up among the gravel on the walk and such. I'd been outside for about two hours when Diane got home from a couple of errands, so I came inside for a bit.
I sat down to have some lunch and rest for a while when we heard rumbling. We were about to experience the first thunderstorm of the season. Not long thereafter, sure enough, the rains came, big drops at first, and then gradually gaining speed and frequency until it was a full-scale downpour. I look out through the patio door and noticed some white stuff bouncing off the deck: Hail. The stones were many, but fortunately not very big. And they didn't last very long.
The first thunderstorm is a good sign that spring is finally here.Technorati Tags: Nature, Environment

The following was posted by Somnath Guha Roy on the sister-group on FaceBook: Theosophical network.
(Boston Globe)

Religions are perspectives, some shared by many, some by few. When the language (word meaning) of any religion is sufficiently different than the language of common communication it begins to die. In response religions get "updated" to be able to communicate the religious perspective in the common language, this perverts the religious perspective. The perverted religious perspective, being more closely aligned to the common perspective, is more widely accepted and pushes the original religious perspective to the background and eventually gone from "living memory".
The common language keeps changing, so the perversions keep mounting.
At what point do we accept that we no longer know where we stand. To blindly push forward folly. We need to go back to where we've been, and bring some of those old perspectives back.
Before they pass from living memory.
My opinion of course.
P.S. You can find this "pattern" everywhere you look.
I agree the pattern is everywhere.
Hopefully, the interpreter knows the inner meanings and is skilled enough to migrate that into the new translation. If not, we may as well throw out all spiritual books older than yesterday <G>.
The interpreter knows nothing. The interpreter is experience, the translation is us. Our perspectives, our lives, our cultures, our science, even our religion, manifestations (or expressions) of our (collectively and possessively) translations.
In the sentence that describes our universe, we are not the noun, we are the verb.
Usually the interpreters (yes often plural) come from highly skilled and often enlightened people, involving both those who speak the language and those who speak the translated language (and are highly in-tune with spirituality). So, all in all, they are usually very good translations/interpretations. Sometimes a bad one gets through (notably - the Koran is an example) but that soon inspires new translations to correct this.
the "sentence" you speak of is also written by people - not the Universe. I guess I humbly disagree...
We all "interpret" for ourselves, thats what our lives are, our translation. People don't write the "sentence" , they repeat it. That is what makes any one perspective (translation) of equal importance. Each translation is only a part of the whole. All translations exist within the whole. Every "new" translation increases our collective understanding of the whole.
At any given moment this translation or that one may appear more important than another, but that is because of our limited ability to translate as an individual. So as each moment passes, the (apparent) importance of any translation also passes.
So in a "perfect" environment, translations appropriate to the moment emerge from our collective experience to interpret the moment in the hopes of better understanding the next one.
Without this uninhibited flow of translators, our collective understanding becomes corrupted. We begin to abandon our own translation in favor of another's (equally limited) perspective, and cease to be a contributing member of society. If I "buy" into another's translation, I let everyone down by not doing my part.
in the grand scheme of things, it is not important I understand my part, only that I do it (as openly and honestly as I can).
It's pretty clear that our "ability" to understand is closely linked to our imagination, so it is entirely possible this "ability" may be a delusion.
An interesting description of the "devil" a delusion masquerading as an ability..
Yes, it appears we disagree, people can not write the "sentence" (at least not accurately) because they are the sentence, only limited by their perspectives.
The use of translation is over-simplified. One must also include Intuition.
i.e. two people can exchange ideas - outwardly as sentences - and those sentences couple with both persons intuition to form the exact same thought/idea/meaning. Translation in the gross sense does not spell out the whole picture!
Your mechanism makes communication seem impossible even between people within the same culture :)
just trying to argue correctly here... i.e. translate (communicate) <G>.
(Active Imagination would precipitate (activate?) the Intuition to match the other person's idea as well - that also happens when Intuition is not perfect in itself/alone)
"Your mechanism makes communication seem impossible even between people within the same culture :)"
Correct, thats the idea. except. It not impossible, it is hard work, much more so than most realize (which makes communication even harder).
"two people can exchange ideas"
This is a misconception, I can't take an idea out of my head and put it in yours. I can describe it, I can draw it, I can do any number of things in an effort to inspire you to see it, but ultimately without enough "common" information your not going to get it.
This is important though
if your perception is so foreign to mine that we are unable to communicate effectively, then any idea (that you could not see for yourself) I did put there would have no support and therefore no meaning. This leads to improper understanding and use (corruption)
The same thing happens when we "follow" another without understanding. So I can't take an idea from you either.
All we can do is represent ourselves as accurately as we can. Then everyone can depend on what they see.
Then we could be on about the business of evolving (living), instead of the (not so slow anymore) slow death we're experiencing.
intuition and superstition share the same pattern. (just saying)
and that sucks, I've always considered myself very intuitive.
I guess that this is a bit like my concept that different cultures have different theosophies. It would be a Lemma in your interpretation.
I think it just follows that religions and cultures are different - not everyone being hindered expressing ideas of spiritual nature correctly/completely (some have the needed intuition). Hence, different religious sects have a different enlightenment.
Also, in Buddhism, there is a concept that "right teaching" can be transmitted between two Buddhists (a final test for perfection as well). That implies that transmission has been taking place, experimentally, for a couple millennia+.
I like Buddhism, very peaceful, very soothing. If I were going to "buy into" a single organized religion, Buddhism would be a strong contender.
I had not heard of "right teaching" before, but the pattern is familiar. Lrts srr what I can come up with.
At first glance it seems to fit the pattern of replication (as in DNA), but I think that is more a familial kind of relationship.
I found a good one
If truth exist, and we are products of this truth. Then the same truth exist within each of us (it does not matter how we decorate that truth for ourselves). If 2 of us were to communicate in the language of tthis truth. Given that this truth would be a singular perspective, then exactly the same kind of "miscommunication" we've been discussing would be avoided.
A very similar concept exist within the Bible. The Bible speaks of seeds and things growing within, I get the impression that this would be the video version to "right teachings" snapshot.
so essentially the same thing
oh, did I mention I agree with the concept of "right teaching", I do however favor the growing application of it (as I find it better represented in everything else).
I think the Bible refers to this when it speaks of the inability of mortal man to look upon the face of god and continue to exist.
If the whole truth were delivered to me at once, I would cease to exist.
All of this ties into the "language of truth" I referred to earlier. A language, or perception, or even a religion of obviously extreme ancient origin thats in danger of being lost, if not gone already.
I can feel it.
I think the Bible refers to it in the story of the tower of babble, and again when it speaks of moving mountains by command.
If there is one thing i can say that I've learned that would be most important (if there is such a thing) in my search for this truth. Along with every religion I've looked at, you can't find the truth by looking out there (so science is flawed), you have to find it within first. Only then will you have the perspective that will allow you to even begin to recognize it out there.
When we make this connection, we are reborn into a new world. When we finally discover that this physical universe is as malleable as playdo, enlightenment, and the whole game changes.
hi David! I think we are agreeing. The ancient religions only need 1 person of the "right understanding" to propagate it (like Buddha, Christ etc. did). I hope they get saved. They can be added to the basket of various Truths out there. (I think there are many).
Ultimately we all agree, we're all looking at the same thing from different perspectives. It's not about which is right or wrong. It is all about discovering how all those perspectives can exist within the whole. The connections, how it all fits together defines what each perspective really is.
yes, I can basically agree with that!

A Miramar man has been arrested on a charge of marijuana trafficking after the Lee County Sheriff's Office said a deputy found more than 50 pounds of the drug in his van during a Monday traffic stop on I-75.
Linton L. Harris, 54, remains in custody at the Lee County Jail.
The deputy pulled over Harris' van on northbound I-75 near Corkscrew Road for window tint and seatbelt violations, according to a sheriff's office report.
During the stop, the deputy was granted permission to search the van and found 52.2 pounds of marijuana packaged inside.
Harris was taken into custody without incident.

Scrambled Eggs and Oatmeal
For good reason, breakfast is widely touted as the most important meal of the day. Studies have shown repeatedly that eating a healthy, balanced breakfast results in a good mood, increased energy and improved memory skills. Remember those helpful B vitamins found in dairy products? Eggs are also rife with the critical substance. Serve a couple of eggs on the side of folate-rich oatmeal for a filling and nutritious breakfast. The folic acid found in oatmeal is powerful because it produces a neurotransmitter called dopamine, which many studies have linked with increased pleasure. Whole-wheat toast or whole-wheat pancakes are other grain options with high amounts of folate [source: Martha Stewart].

Depending on the cause of your hair loss, natural hair regrowth may, or may not, be possible. Some people who suffer from hair loss use clinically proven treatments such as finasteride and topically applied minoxidil (in solution) in order to prevent further hair loss and regrow hair.
It is generally easier to maintain a persons remaining hair than it is to achieve hair regrowth. However, the treatments mentioned above may prevent hair loss from Androgenetic alopecia.
In the USA, only two drug-based treatments have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and one product that has been cleared by the FDA for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia, otherwise known as male or female pattern hair loss.
The two FDA approved treatments are finasteride (marketed for hair loss as Propecia) and minoxidil.
Some people feel they need treatment to prevent hair loss and hopefully, hair regrowth, while others accept thinning hair or baldness.
Hair loss may be genetic, caused by hormonal disturbances or disease, stress, poor nutrition, side effects of medications, chemotherapy or damaged hair from bleaching or harsh styling.
Androgenetic alopecia is a common form of hair loss in both men and women.
With male-pattern baldness hair is lost in a pattern, beginning above both temples. Eventually the hairline recedes to form a "M" shape. The hair also thins at the crown (near the top of the head), often progressing to partial or complete baldness.
In women this pattern of hair loss (Androgenetic alopecia) is different to male-pattern baldness because the hair becomes thinner all over the head but the hairline does not recede. In women this rarely leads to total baldness.
Once you identify the cause of your hair loss, if it is reversible by eliminating/rectifying the cause, natural hair regrowth can be achieved perhaps with the help of the hair loss treatments mentioned above.
If it is not reversible other methods such as laser therapy, wigs or hairpieces or hair transplants.
Minoxidil is a liquid that you rub into your scalp twice daily for hair regrowth and to prevent further hair loss. Finasteride is a pill taken once daily that blocks the effects of testosterone on hair growth.

So, this is Saturday 11th October?
Quote from: Rockula on July 09, 2014, 02:56:16 PMSo, this is Saturday 11th October?Good question. I looked through these posts here, no mention of the planned date at all.
If you go to the Pledge page it seems to imply that date.
I'll be leaving Yorkshire to watch the one gig reunion of The Doctors of Madness, whilst TV and Dave Vanian who both sang with The Doctors play a Punk gig a few miles from my home.
For their marriage they were resplendent in full vampiric black outfits, particularly striking as it was held in one of the most boring, dreary city halls imaginable, located in Acton, West London, complete with boring, dreary councillor officiating. Richard Strange (singer of Doctors of Madness) was best man at the last minute he was instructed that a tie was required, so he improvised with a page from a copy of Womens Own magazine found in the waiting room, stuck on with chewing gum:
Somebody keeps posting pictures of Dave and Laurie on the Unofficial Damned Nonsense FB page.
Have to say if someone kept posting pictures of me with my first wife I'd get pretty pissed off.

New Beginnings
When it comes to the blogging timeline, I have been a "blogger" since the near beginnings. Over 5 years now I have recorded thoughts, feelings, and adventures and shared them with the online community. Up until about a month ago it was something that I did every week or so whenever I had something new or interesting to write about. I can't really explain what happened but with the loss of a loved one, I decided to delete my blog. 5 years worth of ramblings gone in the click of a button. I didn't feel sad, or like I was losing anything. I felt released. So in light of that, I have decided to start this project, not so much a blog but more of a showcase for arts, or anything that I feel needs to be noticed and remembered. I hope to be completely honest, and diligent in this project and to start fresh on a new path with my purpose being to "Breathe Culture" into this space.

How to Test Your Internet Connection Speed
|Dec 19, 2007
|Jordan Running
Understanding connection speed
The speed at which you download files from and upload files to the internet depends on a lot of factors. You're limited, of course, by the absolute maximum speed of your internet connection--that is, the speed your internet service provider (ISP) probably advertises--but in practice your ISP almost certainly doesn't guarantee that you'll ever attain those speeds (read the fine print in your contract). Though a connection advertised as 3 Mbps, 5 Mbps, or 10 Mbps will probably be plenty fast for most uses, it's likely your connection's actual speed is significantly lower. Your actual download and upload speeds are also influenced by the computer--be it a web server or another person's PC, as in the case of P2P file sharing--you're connected to. If you're trying to download a file from a server with a slow connection, no amount of speed on your end will make that download go faster. Finally, your transfer speed might be affected by how many other people are using the same lines as you. If you have cable internet, for example, your speed will be better when your neighbors aren't all using their cable internet. Furthermore, on most connections your download speed and upload speed will differ significantly (usually in favor of the former).
Further complicating things is terminology, in particular the distinction between bits and bytes. Bandwidth, which is what service providers advertise, is typically measured in millions of bits--megabits--per second, e.g. 10 Mbps. Most programs that you use to access the internet, however, report transfer speeds in bytes per second. One byte is equal to eight bits--bytes are usually (but not always) denoted by a capital 'B,' whereas bits use a lowercase 'b.' So if your connection is delivering 4,000,000 bits per second (4 Mbps), the program you're using might report 500,000 bytes per second (500 kBps)--the two numbers are equivalent, but one seems smaller which, as you've guessed, is why ISPs prefer to advertise bits instead of bytes. Most speed-testing services will report your speed in kilobits or megabits per second--in order to translate that into what you can expect to see in, say, Internet Explorer, just divide by eight to convert to bytes.
Testing your connection speed
Since you can't trust your ISP to tell you the true speed of your internet connection, the only way to find it out is to test it yourself, and for that there are a number of web-based services to choose from. Before we begin, however, make sure you stop any active downloads (or wait for them to finish) and quit any bandwidth-hogging programs like file-sharing apps or internet radio. Now head over to my favorite speed-testing service, Speedtest.net, which is provided for free by Ookla Net Metrics, a company that specializes in measuring the speed of the internet.
Using Speedtest.net is very straightforward. Ookla maintains a fleet of speed-testing servers all over the world--just click on the one nearest you on the world map and the speed test will begin. First it will test your download speed by downloading data from the server to your computer (don't worry, nothing is stored on your computer permanently). Then it'll test your upload speed by doing the opposite.
Once both are done, you'll be shown a summary page with your average download speed, upload speed, and ping time, which is the time it takes, in milliseconds, to send a packet of data from the server to your computer and back. You'll also be provided with a snippet of code that you can use to display your results on your blog or web site, if you're into that sort of thing.
Now, like I said, your connection speed probably fluctuates a lot. If you want to get a more precise idea of your average speed, you could run the speed test several times, at different times of the day and different times of the week. Just remember that no matter how many times you run the test, Speedtest.net will only give you a general idea of your connection's capabilities and isn't indicative of the speeds you'll achieve for all transfers.
Other options
A lot of internet speed tests use Ookla's network and will give you the same results as Speedtest.net, but there are some other options:
CNet eschews the flashy visuals, but works just fine.
InternetFrog.com compares your connection speed to various internet connection types with a Java-based test.
Broadband Reports has several speed-testing tools, including ones for mobile devices.
TestMy.net has download, upload, and "dual" speed tests.
If those sites don't satisfy your insatiable need to test your bandwidth, Broadband Reports also has a huge directory of speed-testing services around the world.

Family Ministries & Parenting Support
It's All About Relationships
Families come in all shapes and sizes, but what is constant in all families is the need for healthy, loving and stable relationships. As Catholics, we do not believe "we go it alone," but rely on each other within our Faith in Jesus, our Faith Community, our Family & our Friends to help us navigate through life. The information and links available here may provide resources for loving and strong family relationships.
The Strong Catholic Families Initiative.
Strong Catholic Families began as a process hosted by dioceses, parishes, and/or schools for changing the way faith communities partner with parents so that the Catholic faith can be more effectively passed on to the next generation of disciples. The process, initially developed by NFCYM in 2010, is now presented in collaborative partnership by four national organizations working together to help parents bring home the faith: Family and Parenting Resources, the National Association of Catholic Family Life Ministers (NACFLM), the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA), and the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM).

The trailer for the latest Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises, begins with the following intonation: "If you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to an ideal, then you become something else completely: a legend." Holy causa sui, Batman! I didn't know it was that simple. Of course it isn't that simple, but the line from the trailer struck me as an example par excellence of the human desire to transcend our mortality. Failing that, some of us help ourselves along by sharing vicariously in heroics of another. I suspect Bruce Wayne will be thwarted in his bid for legendary immortality. Even legends die out eventually. But perhaps the movie patrons will leave with their anxiety temporarily assuaged.
I have another suggestion. Their time might be better spent on Woody Allen's latest film, Midnight In Paris. Set in modern-day Paris, the plot centers on protagonist Owen Wilson's love for the Paris of the 1920s, the Paris of Hemmingway, Fitzgerald, and Stein. Director Allen employs magical realism to allow Wilson to travel through a time portal back to this golden age, meeting many of his heroes. Without giving away too much of the plot, he comes to realize that every age is golden, every age has its luminaries, and there is no time like the present. He returns to modern-day Paris with his love of the city intact and a commitment to live in the here and now. He forgoes magic for everyday reality. This acceptance and willingness to engage the present reflects the existential "courage to be" that theologian Paul Tillich described. As I left the theater and walked into the sultry Louisville, evening I felt a certain satisfaction, a calm if you will. The time is now. Thank you, Mr. Allen. Good luck, Bruce.

Kebabs & Urine (15)
September 22, 2010
Kebabs & Urine (15)
Mike Leigh's latest slice-of-life drama.
Tired of the recurring death threats, incontinent abortionist Dr Mortimer Waters (Timothy Spall) retires from his Yorkshire-based practice and moves to a quaint English seaside town where he falls in love with a waitress, Mary Tippleton (Tilda Swinton) – a devout Catholic, who's bored and waiting for life to happen.
As their relationship develops, Dr Waters becomes concerned that his feelings could never be fully reciprocated if Mary learnt of his old profession. (note: include emotional scene of a soaked Dr Waters burying his abortionist tools in the garden in the middle of a storm.)
When Mary learns that she's pregnant (impossible as she's a virgin!), Dr Waters chances fate and informs her of his past. Hilarity ensues.
Possible dialogue:
Dr Waters: "Eeh by gum! I shall miss thee little buggers – eh? What's this? – oh no, I've pissed missen!"

Budget's Done. What's Next for New York in the Fight Against Cancer? | Health
Title (Max 100 Characters)
Focus on Health Insurance Exchange, Indoor Tanning, Tobacco
Amherst, NY (April 6, 2011) – Now that the 2011-2012 New York State budget is history, you may be wondering, what's next in the fight against cancer?
The remainder of the legislative session will focus on policy-related, non-budgetary issues. For the American Cancer Society (ACS), that means advocating for implementation of the Affordable Care Act in New York, a law to ban indoor tanning for minors, and other proposals designed to reduce the burden of cancer.
"Our legislative agenda supports a range of measures that, if enacted, will make a real difference in the fight against cancer," said Russell Sciandra, New York State Director of Advocacy, American Cancer Society of NY & NJ. "Working with legislators to enact laws that prevent or detect cancer early is one of the most effective ways we can have an impact on cancer rates."
Health Insurance Exchange
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) recently hit a milestone, the one-year anniversary of its enactment. As it is implemented, ACS will continue to ensure that the law serves cancer patients and supports cancer prevention.
The ACA requires states to pass legislation establishing a health insurance exchange by the end of June 2011. The exchange is a marketplace where individuals and small groups can purchase insurance that includes essential health care benefits. Starting in 2014, the exchange will provide access to quality health insurance coverage at reasonable prices. Establishment of a consumer-oriented exchange is the highest legislative priority for ACS in New York.
To date, 35 states have introduced legislation to establish or study a state exchange, but New York is not among them. ACS is working to encourage state lawmakers to expedite this process and to ensure that the New York exchange meets the needs of cancer patients.
Ban on Indoor Tanning for Minors
Indoor tanning is a significant cause of skin cancer, especially among those who tan as teenagers. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), use of tanning beds before the age of 30 increases the risk of melanoma 75 percent. While UV radiation has long been associated with increased risk for skin cancer and melanoma, in July 2009 the IARC elevated tanning beds to the highest cancer risk category - group 1 - 'carcinogenic to humans.' ACS supports legislation to ban minors from utilizing indoor tanning facilities. New York would be the first state to enact such a law.
Protect New Yorkers from Secondhand Smoke
A growing body of evidence shows that even low-level exposure to tobacco smoke is harmful. There is broad public support for further restricting where smoking can occur. ACS supports legislation banning smoking in cars occupied by children, will promote restrictions on smoking around building entrances and in outdoor areas such as parks and playgrounds, and will encourage smoke free policies in multiple unit housing.
Tobacco Tax Evasion
ACS supports state efforts to collect excise taxes on cigarettes sold or smuggled off Indian reservations. As many as one-third of all packs sold in New York are untaxed, counter-acting the positive public health effect of the state's highest-in-the-nation excise tax. More than 100,000 New Yorkers would quit smoking if taxes on cigarettes sold on reservations were collected.

Suppose that a ramp leading to the top of a ziggurat wall is 56 cubits long, and the vertical height of the ziggurat is 45 cubits. What is the distance x from the outside base of the ramp to the point directly below the top? (Ziggurats were terraced pyramids built in the ancient Middle East; a cubit is a length of measure equal to about 18 inches or 44 centimeters.)
Could the Babylonians who lived in what is now Iraq more than 3,700 years ago solve a word problem like this?
Two Australian mathematicians assert that an ancient clay tablet was a tool for working out trigonometry problems, possibly adding to the many techniques that Babylonian mathematicians had mastered.
"It's a trigonometric table, which is 3,000 years ahead of its time," said Daniel F. Mansfield of the University of New South Wales. Dr. Mansfield and his colleague Norman J. Wildberger reported their findings last week in the journal Historia Mathematica.
(If you need help to solve the problem, the answer is explained below.)
The tablet, known as Plimpton 322, was discovered in the early 1900s in southern Iraq and has long been of interest to scholars. It contains 60 numbers organized into 15 rows and four columns inscribed on a piece of clay about 5 inches wide and 3.5 inches tall. It eventually entered the collection of George Arthur Plimpton, an American publisher, who later donated his collection to Columbia University. With all the publicity, the tablet has been put on display at the university's Rare Book & Manuscript Library.
Based on the style of cuneiform script used for the numbers, Plimpton 322 has been dated to between 1822 and 1762 B.C.
One of the columns on Plimpton 322 is just a numbering of the rows from 1 to 15.
The other three columns are much more intriguing. In the 1940s, Otto E. Neugebauer and Abraham J. Sachs, mathematics historians, pointed out that the other three columns were essentially Pythagorean triples — sets of integers, or whole numbers, that satisfy the equation a2 + b2 = c2.
This equation also represents a fundamental property of right triangles — that the square of the longest side, or hypotenuse, is the sum of the squares of the other two shorter sides.
That by itself was remarkable given that the Greek mathematician Pythagoras, for whom the triples were named, would not be born for another thousand years.
Why the Babylonians compiled the triples and wrote them down has remained a matter of debate. One interpretation was that it helped teachers generate and check problems for students.
Dr. Mansfield, who was searching for examples of ancient mathematics to intrigue his students, came across Plimpton 322 and found the previous explanations unsatisfying. "None of them really seemed to nail it," he said.
Other researchers have postulated that the tablet originally had additional columns listing ratios of the sides. (There's a break along the left side of the tablet.)
But what is conspicuously missing is the notion of angle, the central concept impressed upon students learning trigonometry today. Dr. Wildberger, down the hall from Dr. Mansfield, had a decade earlier proposed teaching trigonometry in terms of ratios rather than angles, and the two wondered that Babylonians took a similar angle-less approach to trigonometry.
"I think the interpretation is possible," said Alexander R. Jones, director of the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University, who was not involved with the research, "but we don't have much in the way of contexts of use from any Babylonian tablets that would confirm such an intention, so it remains rather speculative."
Eleanor Robson, a Mesopotamia expert now at University College London who proposed the idea of the tablet as a teacher's guide, is not convinced. Although she declined interviews, she wrote on Twitter that the trigonometry interpretation ignores the historical context.
Perhaps the strongest argument in favor of the hypothesis of Dr. Mansfield and Dr. Wildberger is that the table works for trigonometric calculations, that someone had put in the effort to generate Pythagorean triples to describe right triangles at roughly one-degree increments.
"You don't make a trigonometric table by accident," Dr. Mansfield said. "Just having a list of Pythagorean triples doesn't help you much. That's just a list of numbers. But when you arrange it in such a way so that you can use any known ratio of a triangle to find the other sides of a triangle, then it becomes trigonometry. That's what we can use this fragment for."
A Babylonian faced with the ziggurat word problem may have found it easy to set up: a right triangle with the long side, or hypotenuse, 56 cubits long, and one of the shorter sides 45 cubits. Next, the problem solver could have calculated the ratio 56/45, or about 1.244 and then looked up the closest entry on the table, which is line 11, which lists the ratio 1.25.
From that line, it is then a straightforward calculation to produce an answer of 33.6 cubits. In their paper, Dr. Mansfield and Dr. Wildberger show that this is better than what would be calculated using a trigonometric table from the Indian mathematician Madhava 3,000 years later.
These days, someone with a calculator can quickly come up with a bit more accurate answer: 33.3317.

Editorial Note:
By Dr. Anisa Abd el Fattah
This statement makes two very important points that cannot be ignored in an exploration of the heretical concepts of Jewish homeland, Jewish people and nationality that led to the Balfour Mandate and the UN partitioning of Palestine to create a Jewish homeland. They are 1). Theodore Herzl, who is credited with being the father of Zionism was a secular Jew with no rabbinical training or background. 2). He had no political, or religious authority to interpret Jewish law, nor did he have the authority to create any new laws or introduce any innovations to Jewish law or tradition such as the creation of a Jewish homeland, or the existence of a Jewish nationality or people.
If Jewish researchers such as Shlomo Sands and others are revealing the truth about the Zionist hoax that led to the establishment of Israel in Palestine and understand the importance of these facts in respect to peace, why is it that Muslim and Arab researchers are not addressing these issues? The liberation of the land is difficult because the hearts and minds of the world must be free from guilt, which is the effects of the century old Zionist myth of an historic Jewish people and homeland in Palestine.

Title: The Dark Province Son of Duprin
Author: William H. Johnson
Pages: 381
Catagory: Fantasy
The story:
Sitting in the honored stalls of the Crystal Sanctuary, Calvin Gooding should be rejoicing in the message he receives from the Holy King of Duprin. But his heart is heavy. He awaits the carriage in which he must ride to deliver the fated news to his family. Time has run out. In the midst of this sorrow, exhaustion, and uncertainty, a sorceress from the Dark Province appears to Calvin. She promises to make his terminally ill twin sister, Marilyn, well again. As twins, Calvin and Mari share a special bond, and Calvin will do almost anything to save his sister's life. But in order to free Mari from death's grip, the sorceress claims that Calvin must travel to the Dark Province-a land where souls and flesh are devoured by the lawless and the spirit of man is bound in shackles. It's a reckless land dominated by morally corrupt warlords and open sexuality. Wrapped tightly in his religion, Calvin must make a life-altering decision. He can choose to follow the sorceress into the sinful abyss to save his sister, or he can accept a life of guilt and certain torment over Mari's death.
The view of a book addict:
I really liked this story, it's actually a very sweet story. I felt I went to all the places the main character went to because of the amazing description of them. I was really sucked into the tale and I really wished everything would turn out right.
I hoped the main character would have what he wanted and I felt very sad when he lost one of the things he wanted.
The verdict of a book addict:
Great book, full of adventures. If you like real fantasy books then this is a story you must read!

Stunning Everyone In Your Life Through Fashion
Although fashion looks like a complicated topic, it's actually quite simple to pull of great looks in any season. If you have a little fashion knowledge, it can become second nature to you. This article has some excellent tips and ideas that will help you reach the top link of the food chain of fashion in no time. Read on for some great tips.
Refrain from purchasing a piece of clothing just because the price is right. Remember, no dress or other clothing item out there is ever worth purchasing unless it fits your fashion sense perfectly and accentuates your body. It will be ignored as it takes up space in your closet.
You do not need to have too much makeup in your kit. Pick the best items for each season to keep in your beauty kit. Think about what you need for your day look and your evening look. Makeup, like many other products, can go bad once open. Bacteria can build on it, too.
If you are carry to much weight and desire a more leaner look, choose a dark colored blouse over a skirt that is equally as dark. Dark colors slim you down by causing the eyes to go to your jewelry and accessories. The skirts you wear should have elastic waistbands to make you feel comfortable.
A lot of people think fashion is just about clothes. What some fail to consider is how much a bad hair style can hinder an otherwise great ensemble. You need to take the time to style your hair with fashion sense too, and take care of it with the best products for your particular type.
Always make sure that the clothes you're purchasing actually fit you! Avoid purchasing any clothing without trying them on first. Sizes are no longer based on set measurements. It seems like each brand has different sizing. If you must buy clothing online, you should at least be sure to check the sizing chart. Make sure they have a return policy that allows your to obtain a refund if necessary.
Changing your hair color each season can make a great change to your look. Although, make sure that you keep your hair healthy as the summer can have a negative impact on its quality. Dyes are harsh and can damage hair, so use a quality conditioner on a regular basis to counteract this.
Floral patterns are best avoided by larger girls. This is because the pattern emphasizes your size. Wearing clothing with smaller flower shapes will take the focus away from your size and make you appear thinner.
It is the foundation you build your look on which makes or breaks it. You want a bra that correctly fits you to make your body look very appealing. Your undergarments should properly support you and provide you with a smooth and tight look. You can also look for specialty undergarments that slim and tone problem areas, which are perfect under clingy clothing.
As you can see, being fashionable is a possibility for everyone. This can be a ton of fun. Put a few of the tips into practice and before you know it your friends will be coming to you for fashion advice and envying your sense of style.…
