To build is to elevate the mentality of self and others around the self to add positive energy to Allah's nation. To destroy is to ruin by allowing negativity to outweigh the positive.

Humpback whales are identified by the markings on their flukes ... or, what most people call the tail. This one clearly has a "P" and an "i" on its left fluke. The "i" even has a dot over it! So, this one is Pi ... or 3.14, if you like. :-) Or, as in the movie, Life of Pi, maybe it's short for Piscine and it's identifying with it's fishy cousins. Or, since it's most likely chasing after those tiny fish, capelin, here, maybe it's advertising that it's a Piscine eater ... or, Pi eater. :-) Sorry. :-) Or, maybe it's just telling us it went to 'school'. Ok. I'll stop now.
There were two of these whales here, but I wasn't quick enough to photograph the tail of the second one. They were spotted from the Apollo, the Newfoundland-Labrador ferry which runs from St. Barbe in Newfoundland to Blanc Sablon, Quebec. We were almost in the harbor of Blanc Sablon when they were spotted and, by the time I got outside on the deck to shoot them, they were quickly disappearing beneath the surface.
This is definitely not as good as some of the whale photos I have here on Flickr, but I decided to upload it because it might be of interest to anyone who studies whales.
Love & Mathematics
Some speak of a spark
Which ignites in the dark
When two people solve
The equation of love
But as the lights went on
Cover of darkness gone
I saw your true face
Reflected in my gaze
Fuzzy logic was applied
Our body language lied
Do I mind that nose?
Do you hate my clothes?
The laws of attraction
Do not care for perfection
As I entered your space
I thanked god the beer is so cheap in this place

Inside the Mathematics Institute at Oxford. We were privileged to be given a tour of this extraordinary building. Very Escher like in it's communications corridors - except they all go somewhere! Full of light which is channelled to the different floors via glass crystal shaped structures which give fabulous reflections. It is an amazing structure. What a place for some of the best brains to flourish!!!
Mathematics and art are related in a variety of ways. Mathematics has itself been described as an art motivated by beauty. Mathematics can be discerned in arts such as music, dance, painting, architecture, sculpture, and textiles. This article focuses, however, on mathematics in the visual arts.

The River Cam,
Cambridge, UK
The "Mathematical Bridge" is a wooden footbridge over the River Cam, that connects the two parts of the Queen's College in Cambridge. It appears to be arched but is made entirely of straight timbers (tangent and radial trussing). It was built in 1749 and was repaired and rebuilt in 1866 and 1905.

When i first saw this model two years ago at the C.D.O. convention I immediately fell in love with it, both for the mathematically and armonious aspects.When yesterday I found under my hands the cp for this I had to try it right away.Unfortunately I had only 35x35 cm EH, so I couldn't achieve the little,central pleats (some good,big sheets of elephant hide are almost on their way, so in less than two weeks I'll be able to get the completed model ;) ).I scored the paper using a specific scoring tool, the printed cp, a lightbulb and my "glass table".
The striking interior of the Mathematical Institute in Oxford, reflected off the roof of the crystal like cafeteria. The maze of wooden staircases was like something from Harry Potter.

One of the more famous crossings across the Cam, I'm not that big a fan of the Mathematical Bridge at Queens' College, but it did look nice in the fog here.
One thing I will add for those who haven't crossed it - it's steeper than it looks :)

I love patterns and I love colour -
and I love their derivation in
music and mathematics!
I can't tell you how happy I was to be in colours again when I was released from hospital. Here's a corner of my corners
moving slowly on (the "slow road", Paddy)... and hoping to go to Cirque du Soleil tomorrow...

The statement of the title is true, don't listen to what some other photos might tell you. Below are two proofs.
Proof by Mathematical Induction
We induct on the number of times people have shaken hands.
Let E be the set of people who have shaken hands an even number of times.
Let O be the set of people who have shaken hands an odd number of times.
Base Case
Before a handshake ever took place, O has size zero and is therefore even.
Induction Step
We assume the statement is true for k handshakes. We need to prove the statement for k+1 handshakes.
For the (k+1)th handshake, one of the following cases is true:
A. Two people from E shake hands (who now move to the set O).
B. Two people from O shake hands (who now move to the set E).
C. One person from O shakes hands with one person from E (they now "trade membership")
For each case, the parity of O remains the same. And since the size of O was even beforehand (by our induction hypothesis), the size of O remains even.
Seb Przd's Proof Using a Parity Argument
O and E are defined as above.
Let n be the number of times any hand has shaken another.
Let n_o be the number of times a hand from the set O has shaken another.
Let n_e be the number of times a hand from the set E has shaken another.
Note: n = n_o + n_e
Each handshake increases n by two, hence n is even. n_e is a sum of even numbers (by definition) and hence is also even. Since both n and n_e are both even, the equation above tells us that n_o is even as well. But n_o is a sum of odd numbers (by definition). The only way for n_o to be even then, is if the size of O is even.
