Last week, for a fraction of a second, the Sun was eclipsed twice. One week ago today, many people in North America were treated to a standard, single, partial solar eclipse. Fewer people, all congregated along a narrow path, experienced the eerie daytime darkness of a total solar eclipse. A dedicated few with fast enough camera equipment, however, were able to capture a double eclipse -- a simultaneous partial eclipse of the Sun by both the Moon and the International Space Station (ISS). The Earth-orbiting ISS crossed the Sun in less than a second, but to keep the ISS from appearing blurry, exposure times must be less than 1/1000th of a second. The featured image composite captured the ISS multiple times in succession as it zipped across the face of the Sun. The picture was taken in a specific color emitted by hydrogen which highlights the Sun's chromosphere, a layer hotter and higher up than the usually photographed photosphere. via NASA ift.tt/2wShbvy
Corniglia is a frazione ("fraction") of the commune of Vernazza in the province of La Spezia, Liguria, northern Italy. Unlike the other localities of the Cinque Terre, Corniglia is not directly adjacent to the sea. Instead, it is on the top of a promontory about 100 metres high, surrounded on three sides by vineyards and terraces and the fourth side descends steeply to the sea. To reach Corniglia, it is necessary to climb the Lardarina, a long brick flight of steps composed of 33 flights with 382 steps or, otherwise follow a vehicular road that, from the station, leads to the village.

This was a quick display where the children were given photocopied shapes and they had to colour in the fraction asked for. They also completed Venn and Caroll diagrams which we'd worked on in a previous lesson.

Stopped by Frontline Gaming in Martinez today to lend a hand prepping for the giganto tournament this weekend. I hauled my airbrush over and basecoated a bunch of terrain.
Here's the link for the event:
www.frontlinegaming.org/community/bay-area-open/
This stuff was already assembled and primed:
Ruins of Osgiliath x2 (?)
Imperial Bastion (bunker) x2
Aegis Defence Line x1.5
Dreadstone Blight x2
Garden of Morr x2
Fortified Manor House x2 (with an additional 2 chapels and watchtowers bringing the total to 4 each)
Arcane Ruins x7 (?)
Temple of Skulls x2
Paint Pots epmtied:
Khemri Brown x3
Dheneb Stone x2
Asurmen Blue x1
Devlan Mud x1
Labor, close to 8 hrs.
People complain all the time about tournament ticket prices. Just for fun, I did the math on just the _retail_ cost of the kits & paint that I interacted with today (which is a fraction of what they have to haul to the event) and it came to over $800.
Yes, that cost is lower because they're a retailer and it gets amortized over future events, and yes, there is the possibility of Games Workshop (etc.) contributing product to support the event (conjecture, I have no specific info on this).
Given the above, if you estimate that everything above is enough terrain to set up eight to ten tables, and that's enough to serve about 20 people, do the math on hundreds of players at an event like this and you can begin to understand how much cash (and love, and time, and labor) goes in to something like this way before scramble of doing pairings and tallying scores (and securing venue, and buying and printing name badges, and lanyards, and printing rules and scenario packets, and renting tables, and renting chairs, and security for the event...and....).
In Switzerland, 2.3% of the positively tested persons are, on average, hospitalized without any delay.

Laurie Gordon of Austin, Texas did a phenomenal job quilting this for me. She is an amazing long-arm quilter that does her work ''free-hand''.
A fraction of the Golden Age banjos in Yasuda's collection. He graciously returned some of them to their countries of origin, and even sold a few to defray costs of acquiring the entire collection (photo by Mac Yasuda, courtesy of Fretboard Journal, No. 16, Winter 2009).
The decoder key is in the previous photo. It's a rational numbers grid. Don't know the name of the artist, alas. It's on the third floor of the MoMA

Inscription au dos du tirage : « Four premiers and two major revivals will highlight the special two-week engagement of Merce Cunningham and Dance Company at City Center 55th Street Dance Theater, September 26 through October 8. The Company's season, their first at City Center, will open with a benefit performance, which will be attended by Honorary Chairman Joan Mondale, wife of the vice president. »
This is the Casio fx-83GT PLUS calculator, a cheap school calculator sufficiently limited in its abilities to be used in most of the maths exams which allow calculators to be used. Its big selling point is that you can enter formulae just as they're written in your textbook. That extends to writing continued fractions as descending trees as illustrated here. Strictly speaking that "16" should be "15+1/1", but to have written it like that would have caused the expression to scroll upwards off the screen.
This shows the rather good approximation of Pi as 355/113, which you can select on the calculator as an alternative form of answer display.

Ray is making a dresser for Brooke. Cadi was hanging out with him in the workshop and the project provided the perfect excuse for a discussion about equivalent fractions.
A small fraction of the fatality markers that dot the approximately 300 kilometers (180 miles) of pavement that connects Fort McMurray and the surrounding industrial areas to the rest of civilisation, Highway 63. When we think of the cost associated with the rapid development of the oilsands we often think of the market value of the product or perhaps the environmental impacts, but the social and human impact is hard to fathom unless you have "been there" yourself, much in the same way you have a vauge idea of what a war zone would be like but have no real clue unless you have experienced it first-hand...
This time other fraction, Wolfpack. This is one of my favourite nation of Lego Castle. Maybe that gatehouse will be a part of something bigger :) I want to build big fortress based on modular elements, which could be useable in other models. But I’m not sure that my computer has enough power, we will see ;)
