This was found attached to the top of a Sallow leaf in Chambers Farm Wood, Lincolnshire UK. It is smaller and thinner that the one found in Horncastle (see this image) and the uppermost end was closed.
This burnt out car was sitting next to Stuart Highway --- poignantly enough, at a roadside memorial for 4 people killed in the inaugural NT Cannonball race.
First dividing the object into 1/2s, then one of the 1/2s — say the second — into two 1/4s, then one of the 1/4s — say the second again — into two 1/8s and so on. In this case the result of the infinite division results in an endless sequence of pieces of size 1/2 the total length, 1/4 the length, 1/8 the length … . And then so the total length is (1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + …) of the length, which Zeno concludes is an infinite distance.
Según la paradoja de Zenón, el tiempo visto como instantes es imposible su transcurrir. Para que la aguja recorra el espacio del segundo deberá recorrer primero la mitad, luego la mitad de la mitad restante y luego la mitad de la mitad y tan sucesivamente es que nunca la aguja llega a tocar el segundo, es una distancia infinita.
A roll of garden fence, my nieces' wading pool, an old truck bed cover, and a broken wheelbarrow are resting patiently on a warm mid-January day.
The object seen just offshore, on the south shore of the Carquinez Strait, are the hull remains of the lumber schooner Forester. The schooner, launched in Alameda, California in 1900, would take cargoes of lumber from northern forests in Washington and Oregon to points in the Pacific including China, India, and Australia.
The Forester was 250 long, 35 feet wide and weighed 680 tons.
The schooner during its last years, was used as a tidal break around the main tower of the Carquinez Bridge (West of Martinez) while the bridge was being built from 1925 to 1927.
In 1935 the one and only captain of the schooner, Otto Daeweritz, decided to beach the Forester on the mudflats off the shoreline of Martinez and live out his days
During the active days of the sailing vessel, the Forester set world records for a sailing craft and once sailed from Australia to San Francisco in 75 days.
The Forester was the last intact schooner on the Pacific coast. In 1975, the Forester burned to the waterline, the burned hull visible at low tide is all that remains today.
