Most of us won’t have even heard of the word ‘eleemosynary’ , but Indian origin 10-year-old Rhea spelled this word correctly and won the crown of Brainiest child in Britain .
Meet Rhea, this 10-year-old girl is originally from India but shifted to the UK with her family from US 6 years back. A resident of West London Rhea whose surname has not been revealed shot ahead in the beginning of the final round, with six correct answers more than the opponent who was at two points. But later she drew equal on nine points with her opponent Saffy, as they entered the final head-to-head question round.
via
The quiz was hosted by Richard Osman, who hailed this year’s show as “the greatest final in the history of Child Genius”, said, “the audience were left gasping as the finalists calculated sums including ’14 times 3, minus 16, times 3, divided by 2, plus 44′, and answered questions such as which nationality was composer Gustav Holst (English).”
via
Rhea who aspires to go to Oxford or Cambridge to train to be a doctor, won the trophy which was as big as her. She won the title after correctly spelling polydactylous (meaning having many digits) and thelytokous (which means producing only females).
In the final round, she had to answer a series of fiendish questions on her specialist subject – the influence of Miss Nightingale on military and domestic health care reform from 1853 to 1914.
Controversy
The controversy came in account when Rhea’s mother, Sonal who left her job as an obstetrician to train her intervened when her daughter missed one point.
via
The question was, “To which medical officer did Florence Nightingale report to in the Crimea?” After Sonal’s intervening, independent adjudicator Olivia van der Werff agreed it had been too general and accepted Rhea’s answer of Dr. Duncan Menzies.
via
The answer to this question avoided a tie-break with Birmingham-born Stephen with Saffy and Rhea securing their place in the final.
Rhea spelled the word “eleemosynary” correctly and won the award of Child Genius 2016, after which she said, “It’s meant getting up early, going to sleep late, studying. It just feels really, really great.”
via
The program was watched on Channel 4 on Tuesday by an average of 1.3 million viewers.
Questions which are responsible for her victory are –
What was the name of the artist who painted Harmony in Red?
In the navigational term GPS, what does the letter P stand for?
In which year of the 18th century was America’s Declaration of Independence?
The conflict between Britain and Spain which began in October 1739 was the so-called War of Jenkins’ ___?
Three hydrogen atoms and one nitrogen atom make up one molecule of what?
Which British Prime Minister was a neighbor of the Nightingale family?
Who, in a letter to the Duke of Cambridge, famously said of Nightingale ‘I wish we had her in the war office’?
Answers: 1) Henri Matisse, 2) Positioning, 3) 1776, 4) Ear, 5) Ammonia, 6) Lord Palmerston, 7) Queen Victor
How many of these could you answer ?

I'm looking for someone willing to do my ads for me, or at least the photos for me. They wouldn't be over edited (just fixing of the face and hairs) I just want them to be nice, with shadows and such. Of course nothing over the top that would falsely advertise the item or anything. And being able to obviously tell what item is for sale is a must.
I won't be paying in Ls for the photos but rather you get everything made in my store and all future releases for FREE. I will pay for the upload of the ads so you don't lose any money.
Interested in doing this for me?
Send me a FLICKR MAIL.
Please include a example or link me to an example of how you would show off an item or edit an ad. If you are willing, try and edit one wearing one of my items! If not, you can always do it with an item from another store. Just make sure this is included somewhere in the ad;
-Name of item
-Permissions
-if appliers are included, add that as well.
Again, I'm only taking applications through FLICKR MAIL. Name the message "Ataxia Ad Editor Application"
And btw Im aiming to release an item a week, plus any events I participate in. And my goal release date is Friday AROUND 4-6pm SLT
If you have any questions or would like to contribute to this archive, please visit tigerjams.art/ and contact me on Twitter DM or Telegram ♥
Note that this item is catalogued as "Mount Waverley railway". Mount Waverley may indeed be the location where the photograph was taken, although the railway line in question is the Glen Waverley line.

ChiBeria to Las Vegas for a mid-winter getaway
Friday::
Venitian Breakfast at Bouchon (restaurant and NOT the bakery) and window shopping. We chose Bouchon on Friday because we assed Saturday morning would be too busy. And we were right, Vegas was easily twice as busy on Saturday.
We arrived by 8:30 on a rainy morning. We took the monorail thru Bally's. Unfortunately the hotels aren't connected underground all the way thru the strip. And it is a bit of a navigation to find our way thru the hotels. However we found our way through and managed to get around.
Ask the "cleaning / helpers" at the hotels for directions to get there to help avoid the resort staff trying to sell shows and tours, which sucks and kills the experience (similar to the time share sellers near Mexico resorts). When entering the hotels is was such a nuisance to have "solicitors" asking "how long are you staying? Have you seen any shows? Interested in a tour?" Good luck saying no. They follow up with more questions to keep you talking. The selling counts on people being polite and keeping you talking. Unfortunately the only way to stop the pestering is to ignore the questions and walk away - feeling like your being rude - and ignore the person talking.
Eating at Bouchon was completely worth the money!! You can get a full French or American meal for under $25 (eggs, bacon, sausage, coffee juice bread and pastry - OR go French ham and cheese sandwich with egg and fries for $18). I choose a salad with bacon (real bacon not american bacon) and a poached egg with bread - $14. You could also get al a carte yogurts, pastries, sides of fries, mashed or lyionaise potatoes, etc. Review the menu online.
We arrived by 8:30, got a great table, excellent ambiance, great service!
Most bathrooms are located just outside the restaurants.
Then we headed downstairs to walk the Grand Canal. Window shopping and the Grand canal shops is a romantic walk. All of Vegas is climate controlled, indoors of course, they still haven't put the strip in an outdoor climate bubble. We didn't take a gondola ride, but we did walk the "river." We visited an expensive jeweler on the walk. Their prices are easily 60+ % higher then "regular" non-Vegas prices. A beautiful pair if ruby earring in a diamond jacket started at $12,000. After a discount for this and that, the price fell to $6,400. And the ladies at the store insisted we make an offer, its the end of the month and the owner would surely take "offers." We left, without the earrings but the price negotiating was something to remember. Tiffany's prices and other brand name stores like Hermés are true to their "standard pricing" said our waiter at the Bellagio lunch.
After window shopping we enjoyed some cheese & wine at Otto Pizzeria in the grand room. The sommelier was knowledgeable and happy to chat. They use a wine storage method with argon gas, and puncture the cork to pour the wine on their high end bottles and leaving no spoils behind. Clever method. The argon gas wine stopper / opener would run $200-300 but worth it if you want to occasionally enjoy expensive special bottles of wine. We were there for nearly 3 hours, nibbling on cheeses, bread (complimentary) and our wines.
The Chianti was spectacular. A Sangiovese blend "torra" monsanto, Mon Granna, and Il Borro were all good. They don't offer a cheese flight but you can have two wines served at 3 ounces each. The cheese flight is a selection of 3 or 5 cheeses, Goat cheese, Pecorino semi hard, and Mozzarella ball served with sides of Apricot mustard, Brandied cherries, and Honey w truffle oil. The Crusty Bread is served with Oil and a splash of balsamic vinegar.
An excellent afternoon at the Venetian. Afterwards we returned to the hotel to change and get ready for our comedy show that night. We had a simple meal for dinner since we splurged on lunch wine and cheese. We ate at the Grand Wok and Sushi at MGM, miso soup and vegetarian dumplings we're very good and authentic. Served with a pot of green tea was spot on refreshing.
I asked one of the wardens how many new Grey Seal recruits had been born to date this year and the reply was that at the last last count (at the weekend) there had been 1999. I'm sure more had been born since because there were signs of fresh afterbirth dotted about.
Female Grey Seals usually give birth to their pups in mid November at Donna Nook but, for some reason, this year the event has been approximately a week later than expected.

Approximately 30 pickets supporting draft resister Joseph Tieger demonstrate outside the Selective Service headquarters at 916 G Street NW May 29, 1967.
The photograph, taken from inside the draft board, shows a federal guard along with the pickets with a bus parked ready to take drafted men to the induction center.
Tieger announced that he would refuse induction into the armed forces and was supported by members and supporters of Veterans for Peace, the Spring Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam and Women’s Strike for Peace.
Tieger was prepared to refuse to serve in the armed forces saying he is “opposed in any kind of participation in the Vietnam war –any war.”
He added, “Under no conditions will I be drafted. If I have to, I will go to jail. Naturally, I don’t want to.”
In the fall of 1966 he had refused to answer the “security questionnaire” of the armed forces that asked questions relating to drug use and homosexuality, among others. It was the first public refusal of induction during the Vietnam War in the Washington, D.C. area.
He was classified as a “delinquent” and put to the top of the draft list and recalled in May 1967.
Tieger was a former worker for the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) and was then working for the Poverty Rights Action Center.
Tieger boarded a bus, along with other draftees, to the induction center at Ft. Holobird in Baltimore, Maryland where other pickets were there to support him.
He carried a telegram addressed to President Lyndon Johnson with him that he handed to an officer that read:
“You will ask me, today, to step forward to be inducted into the Army, and I will refuse.”
“Nearly four years ago I asked to be classified as a conscientious objector to the war. I have made it plain ever since that I would never serve as an agent of war. You call on me to betray what I believe in…”
“For most of these past four years I have worked in the civil rights movement. You and [Republic of Vietnam Premier] Marshal [Nguyen Cao] Ky and [General Francisco] Franco in Spain and [Sen. James] Eastland in Mississippi and your white friends in South Africa have one idea of freedom and justice; I have another. I am willing to risk dying for what I believe in; I am not willing to kill for what you believe in.”
After giving the statement to the Army, he was pulled out of line and waited for several hours before being told he was “administratively unsuitable” and that his induction was temporarily “suspended.”
Shortly afterward, Tieger took a job with the Spring Mobilization Committee to do field work in North Carolina and enrolling in Duke Law School after his arrival in the state.
Tieger and another activist, George Vlasits, were given notices to report to the Raleigh, N.C. draft office prompting another picket line where Tieger and Vlasits were prepared to refuse induction.
Tieger was again put off and re-classified with a student deferment. Tieger protested the deferment, but never heard from the draft board again.
Vlasits refused induction, citing his earlier application as a conscientious objector. However Vlasits was convicted of draft refusal and sentenced to five years—serving more than four months before his conviction was overturned. The court ruled that he had been improperly denied conscientious objector status.
Vlasits, also a civil rights and antiwar activist, ended up in the Washington, D.C. area where he teaches at Montgomery Blair High School.
Tieger left the movement in 1972 working with Ram Dass (the former Richard Alpert) and others on a nine-hour PBS series “How Then Shall We Live?”
Following this, he worked with Ram Dass again on “issues of racial healing, deep ecological awareness and compassionate social action.” This turned into a 7-part TV series called “Reaching Out.”
The two projects took nearly 20 years of hand to mouth existence. Tieger now lives in California and is working on his memoirs.

If you asked the question: Would the new 7D MKII AF system handle a 150-600 Tamron with a 1.4X Teleconverter and still autofocus? Well I hope this will go toward answering your question. In short yes. But. And there's always a but. It does need good light and/or a high ISO (Up to 1250 in some shots I took) and you are limited to ( in my experience on the day anyway) Single point Spot AF. Single point AF. AF Point Expansion. AF Point Expansion (Surrounding points) and Zone AF. Well five out of the seven available isn't bad in my humble opinion.
This shot for instance taken later in the afternoon as I was about to leave the park and with the sun dropping away behind and to the right of this lovely animal had me reaching for the ISO button and a 1250 setting got the focus on and got me the shot. I could have focussed manually but I was testing things out. The Sigma Teleconverter takes nothing away from the sharpness though and I was pleased with the result even though I had to process the RAW file in the barely adequate Canon DPP software and finish it off in my usual workflow. The previous image of the Pere David Deer was also shot with the Sigma APO EX DG 1.4X TC'v on the back of the 150-600.

This is a very rough sketch done with fine-line marker on a small piece of paper. I made this sketch a few days ago to help me make a color choice for the wooden codfish cutout that I am decorating for the Marblehead Arts Festival. For this project, I created a pattern inspired by Portuguese blue and white tiles (azulejos) and gave my fish a Portuguese name, Bela Bacalhau (beautiful codfish). By Friday, I had drawn in the whole design onto the wooden fish with fine-line marker. (See post for May 6, 2016). But I was still trying to decide about the color for the little "wave" patterns inside each square. Should I leave them as is color them in with dark blue, or color them in with a lighter blue? I decided to do a little rough sketch so I could ask innocent bystanders what they thought. (See post for May 9.) I asked family members and friends which square they preferred. What I heard: the two-tone idea is good, but do I want people to perceive the outline or the pattern? That was an interesting question, which led me to a better solution. I wanted a blue that was close to the outline color, but perceptibly different. That way, I would create a two-tone effect, the pattern would pop out, and the outline would still show. So I grabbed another Sharpie and filled in the waves in the white square with a bright blue. (See upper right square.) That color seemed right, but I wasn't ready to actually change the pattern on the wooden fish until I did tried one more thing. . . To be continued.

Max: "...But, I mean, how does he carry all of those presents? His sleigh would have to be the size of an aircraft carrier!"
Benny: "Sigh...I don't know Max. Now let me work!"
Max: "And if it is the size of an aircraft carrier, how do just nine reindeer pull it? They must be really strong!"
Benny: "Maybe..."
Max: "And how does he travel all around the world in just one night?"
Benny: "I don't know! ....It's just...magic...ok?! Just magic. Now leave me alone!"
Max: "...Does he have like a time turner like Hermione Granger uses in Harry Potter? Because then he could always switch the time back and get to everyone's house in one night. ...But I didn't think time turners were real..."
Benny: "Will you just be quiet?!"
Max: "I mean, this whole 'Santa' thing is just really hard to believe. What if he's not real? Then I wouldn't have to worry about being good all the time! That would be great! ...But then, who gives me presents on Christmas day?"
Benny: "I DON'T KNOW! GO ASK YOUR MOTHER!"
Max: "Well, I did, but she told me to go ask you these questions."
Benny: "Sigh..."
