Leonardo Fibonacci was a son of an Italian Merchant famed for introducing Hidu-Arabic mathmatics to the western world moving from Roman Numerals to the decimal system . The sequence of numbers he learned has fascinated mathematicians through the ages as the formula can be found in everything from how many petals a flower has, to the proportions of our fingers . More importantly to the photographer or artist is the golden rules that is used for composition in an image

Today, there is a big news from Britain.
I would like to tell you one other note about my grandmother's TEMARI besides my new shrink plastic accessories project.
昨日のお知らせに引き続きまして、今度はイギリスから届いた嬉しいお知らせです。
As you know, my grandmothers TEMARI were becoming popular around the globe since Dec 2013.
Her Temari picture is used for the cover of Pearson Education's mathematics textbook now.
一昨年の年末頃から、世界でもの凄い勢いでシェアされている私の祖母の手毬の写真が、イギリスの大手教育系出版社 Pearson Educationの数学のテキストの表紙に採用されました。
They send me a book, and it is bit too early but going to be a nice birthday present for her.
無事出版したということで、イギリスから祖母の早めの誕生日プレゼントとして実物のテキストも送ってもらいました。
英語でのメールのやり取りは、いくら子ども英語の講師もしているとは言え、契約書の英語を読み解いたりはそれなりに大変でした。
This cover won't change for 10years.
このテキストはこのあと10年間この表紙なのだそう。
She is not able to walk by herself now, but her Temari Pictures are going around the world!
She is very happy with it.
自力では歩くことの出来なくなった祖母ですが、手毬はこんな風に世界中に旅していて、祖母もとても嬉しいようです。
I have been receiving so many e-mails and messages about her Temari.
But I am sorry to reject an interview for her Temari.
I have not been able to reply each person.
なお、今までも多くのお問い合わせを頂いておりますが、祖母の手毬に関する取材は、今後も基本的には全て御断りいたします。
すべての人にお返事することもできません。
These TEMARI are NOT FOR SALE.
She is making TEMARI, but no more teaching.
手毬の販売はしておりません。
また講師も現在はしておりません。
If anyone is interested in using the picture for the commercial, please contact me via e-mail.

i am happy that my legs are now recovered enough to travel again, to see one of my best friends :-)
I sometimes follow the “Rule of Thirds” where contrasting blocks take up a third of the image. I have improved upon the rule by applying the “Rule of Thirds” to the Z axis (depth), so structures are distanced by thirds, placing parabolas and ellipsoids near tangents of 137.5 degrees (the golden angle), and finally cropping the image with a ratio of 1:1.618 (the golden rectangle).
I call this new rule:
“The Rule of Golden Tangential Ellipsoidic Ratios with Parabolic Z Depth Perception on the Side”.

My mathmatically incorrect tree skirt surprised and delighted me that it worked out so beautifully. It's complicated looking but so easy to make. See my blog here freezeframe03.blogspot.com/2011/12/tutorial-christmas-tre... for a tutorial to make your own.
Do you see anything funny about this? My wife Dee spotted this while shopping. She couldn't believe it so much she had me to come over and confirm it. Naturally I had my Cyber shot on hand, and the rest is retail history!

Sorry I have been gone for two days, I forgot to tell you all I had student orientation for Ripon college. It was a two day event, which meant we got to spend the night in dorms with no AC. Usually it wouldn't matter, except wisconsin has been unusually hot, with 95 degree weather but feeling over 100 with the humidity. Boy am I glad I brought a fan.
Overall it was good, I signed up for my classes:
organic chemistry 111
enviornmental studies 120
fencing
mathmatical thinking and writing 130
spanish 211
survey of world cinema 180
& a First Year Seminar class which is where all first years must select four classes out of a possible 10 we are interested in taking & are assigned one of our 4 choices. I narrowed mine down to:
Love in the Western World (history)
On the Construction & Deconstruction of Character (philosophy)
Principled Stories and Stories Principles (spanish)
The Anthropology of Identity (anthro.)
I hope I get either the anthropology class or spanish one. :D
Julianne is making a black and white Paris quilt for her daughter and requested only a small pop of blue. I saw this block a while back made by Lee of Freshly Pieced. It is block #469 from Quiltmakers 100 Blocks Blog Tour. The original block was 12" finished and Julianne had requested 14" blocks so out came the graph paper so that I could resize the block. I ran into a little trouble with the black "V" shapes as originally they were flying geese which did not translate to the new size. (Although I'm sure that someone else could figure it out, I just could not mathmatically get it to work.) After mulling things over, I decided to create a paper piece template to use for that section and must admit to being surprised when everything worked! I am pleased with the block, but I did consider ripping out the large white center squares and replacing them with black ones for more contrast, but in the end decided that I did not want to risk distorting the fabric.
Looking at some mathematics appreciation material recently, I was acquainted with the correspondences between the dodecahedron and icosahedron. Particularly that these Platonic forms have the exact same number of edges, and that the number of faces of one equals the number of vertices of the other. This means that the icosahedron can be nested within the dodecahedron forming a dual form which is just as regular as each form independently.
The octahedron can likewise be nested within the cube, and the tetrahedron can be nested within itself.
You know, I think I would really like to study geometry more deeply, best yet as the mathematics of computer graphics. But I would want to study it à la carte, just choose whichever topics seem interesting and fruitful to me, without having to do things in the order someone else decided was best. No prerequisites either. Because if I have to know the math before I can use it then I will never use most of it, because I won't find most of it to be worth my time until I have an application to which it is an essential tool.
That's how I think math and physics should be taught, as the tools you need in order to construct your own video game.

Donatello ("Donnie", "Don") is portrayed as the calmer, more logical Turtle. Like the intro states Donnie has a way with machines and is the most intellectually inclined of the sibling. He is the most knowledgeable, often speaking in so called "technobabble" with a natural aptitude for science and technology. He can also hack into computer systems, crack security codes and break through firewalls.
He is somewhat quirky and sarcastic. with his intelligence, determination, range and will-power, makes him a great asset to the team, being thoroughly investigative, negotiable, and patient. He is often on good terms with his three brothers and shares a particularly close bond with Michelangelo.
In the comics, Donatello is depicted as second-in-command. In the first issue, he is the one that killed the Shredder by knocking him and his grenade off the roof. The second issue elaborated more on each turtles' personalities and opened with Donatello soldering a circuit. Later in the issue, Donatello states that he is "familiar with some computer systems" and helps April O'Neil deactivate the Mousers. During the turtles' exile to Northampton, Donatello becomes obsessed with fixing up and repairing the many broken things within the farmhouse they were living in. Most notably he spent days and nights fixing the boiler to give his family hot running water and builds a windmill and a water wheel to provide electricity.
In the Donatello one shot, Donatello encounters an artist called Kirby (an homage to the comic artist Jack Kirby) whose mysterious crystal brings his drawings to life before disappearing. The two newfound friends journey to a dimension inhabited by Kirby's creations and help the heroes defeat the invading monsters.
Donnie is the tallest and thinnest of his brothers. His bandana is typically portrayed as purple, his favorite color (although originally in 1984 all four Turtles had red bandanas). Donnie is the tallest and thinnest of his brothers. He is co-creator Peter Laird's favorite Turtle.
Donatello has attained a mastery of Ninjutsu and stealth due to his ninjutsu training. The mutagen coupled with his training has also given him near super human level skill, speed, smarts, agility and strength. He is also a stickjutsu and kobudo master. His weapon of choice is a Bo (quarterstaff) which he sometimes uses as a tool or a walking stick, matching power, speed, and range. He often tends to fight in a more traditional martial art style emphasizing on redirecting enemy blows and defending until the optimal time to strike presents itself. Though his weapon is not as strong as Leo or Raph, or Mikey, Donnie is quite capable of holding his own against tough opponents. Donnie is stealthy like all his brothers, and like them he can hide in the shadows, sneak around without being detected, and use hand to hand combat
Donnie is somewhat a sci-fi geek, aside from Leo....though he's more of a techy geek. He will often go off on technological rants that his brothers either don't understand, don't care about or both. Donnie spends most of his time inventing various weapons and gadgets or enveloped in research, and would rather negotiate before using force. he has devoted more of his time to non-combat oriented pursuits such as the study of technology, biology, chemistry, mathmatics, and radio active mutagen.
He was named by Splinter after the Renaissance sculptor Donatello di Niccolò di Betto Bardi.
In the video games, Donatello is one of the main playable characters as he has the longest reach and most ability.
In the 1987 series's original Donatello's voice is provided by Rob Paulsen, Barry Gordon and Greg Berg as the 1989 alternate voice actor. In the 25th anniversary movie Turtles Forever, Donatello was voiced by Tony Salerno.

Toowong, an inner residential suburb, is four km south-west of central Brisbane. It is thought that the name was derived from an Aboriginal word describing a bird, or the call of a bird, possibly the Koel or Cooee bird, a species of Cuckoo. Its call is described as loud and mellow, not unlike a cooee.
With a backdrop of Mount Coot-tha and the Toowong Creek wending down to the Brisbane River, Toowong was an attractive place for settlement. Land sales for farms in both Milton and Toowong occurred in the 1850s, and by the 1860s the area was noted for villa estates along the river and on the ridges. Milton House (1854) was a notable early example. By 1862 the village of Toowong was a recognisable place, promoted by a cab driver who operated between there and Brisbane; he named the destination Toowong.
An Anglican church was opened in 1866 and in 1871 a resting place was chosen on the foothills of Mount Coot-tha for metropolitan Brisbane's deceased persons. Inner urban cemeteries had been a health concern for some years - Toowong had been recommended as a metropolitan facility in 1861 - and in 1871 Toowong received its first interment, Governor Blackall. The cemetery and several of its monuments are listed on the Queensland heritage register.
In 1875 the Brisbane to Indooroopilly (and Ipswich) railway line was opened, with a station at Toowong village. The Regatta Hotel was opened the same year, on River Road (Coronation Drive) overlooking Toowong Reach. Settlement became brisker, the Anglicans relocating from the wooden church (1866) in Curlew Street to the Stone Gothic revival edifice in High Street (1877) and a Primitive Methodist church opening in 1876.
The Toowong district had a population of about 1000 people when an area of 4.5 sq miles (11.7 sq km) was proclaimed Toowong Shire in 1880. It included Torwood and Milton (south of Boundary Road), Auchenflower and Toowong southwards to Toowong Creek. The western boundary approximated the summit of Mount Coot-tha. Most of the residential subdivisions were 32 perch blocks (approximating an area enclosed by 15 x 50 metres), and as the subdivision pattern unfolded it was touched by early town planning and garden city ideals: the shire's first chairman, Augustus Gregory, promoted the reservation of Mount Coot-tha as a park and the council later spent money on landscaping River Road and the improvement of several parks.
An electric tram service began in 1903 along Milton Road to the cemetery, and then along Dean Street and Woodstock Road to the terminus. Toowong Shire was designated a town in 1903, consistent with its urbanisation, train and tram services. From about 900 dwellings, the number grew to about 2500 by the early 1920s. In 1925 Toowong municipality was incorporated into the Greater Brisbane council.
Toowong had a pronounced non-Catholic demography, but in 1903 a parish school was transferred to the convent in Grove Street. In 1930 a new brick church of St Ignatius Loyola was built there, and in 1948 a new school was also constructed. The site adjoined Brisbane Boys College, transferred from Clayfield to Toowong in 1930. The convent, church and the boys' college are listed on the Queensland heritage register. In 2007 the Queensland Academy for Science, Mathmatics and Technology (year 12) was opened on the site of the Toowong State College (1963).
In 1962-63 bus services replaced the Toowong tram service, the first move in a process to retire the metropolitan tram service in 1969.
Toowong has the Anzac Park and Toowong Park sport and recreational facilities and a sports ground on Toowong Creek near Brisbane Boys College. Coronation Drive and the Regatta Hotel are both listed on the Australian heritage register.
Toowong Village drive-in shopping centre (1986), west of the railway station, is a sub-regional retail hub, quite in contrast to its Village name. It has a department store, a discount department store and about 90 other shops.

Brown & Sharpe Mfg. Co. is one of the oldest and probably one of the most significant machine tool and precision tool builders. The firm was founded in 1833 by David Brown and his son Joseph R. Brown. In 1853 the company to Lucian Sharpe as a partner and became J. R. Brown & Sharpe. Early work consisted of making and repairing clocks and other mathmatical devices. Their first machine was a dividing engine built in 1850 which could automatically lay out the graduations to make a rule. Improved machines were built in 1854 and 1859 and were still in use as late as 1916. Brown and Sharpe is credited with many inventions including Standard Wire Gages, the B & S taper, 20 degree pressure angle gearing, The formed milling cutter,vernier caliper, and the universal milling machine. They primarily build turret lathes, automatic screw machines, grinders and milling machines. The firm also had a complete line of precision machinist tools.
From Wikipedia:
Brown & Sharpe is a division of Hexagon Metrology, Inc., a multinational corporation focused mainly on metrological tools and technology. During the 19th and 20th centuries, Brown & Sharpe was one of the best-known and most influential machine tool builders and was a leading manufacturer of instruments for machinists (such as micrometers and indicators). Its reputation and influence were such that its name is often considered to be inseparably paired with certain industrial standards that it helped establish, including:
The American wire gauge (AWG) standards for wire;
The Brown & Sharpe taper in machine tool spindle tapers; and
The Brown & Sharpe worm threadform for worm gears.
Since being acquired by Hexagon Metrology in 2001, Brown and Sharpe has concentrated exclusively on metrology equipment.
History
Founding (1833) to World War I era (1916)
Brown & Sharpe was instrumental in the development of machine tools and machining technology (including toolmaking, metrology, production, etc.). It was responsible for the improvement and wider dissemination of milling machines, micrometers, turret lathes, screw machines, and other tools. A thorough account of the details is given in a seminal classic of machine tool history, Joseph W. Roe's English and American Tool Builders (1916).[2]
[edit] World War I through World War II
Like most machine tool builders, Brown & Sharpe rode a business cycle rollercoaster during these decades. After being kept very busy during World War I, builders suffered a slump in the post–World War I recession and depression of 1920–21. The Roaring Twenties brought renewed sales, but then the Great Depression slashed them. The armament-buildup period of 1936 to 1940 again renewed machine tool activity, and then the World War II materiel effort exploded demand, pushing it to record heights.
[edit] Post-World War II era
Shortly after World War II, Henry D. Sharpe, Jr. succeeded his father as president of Brown & Sharpe Manufacturing Company, at which point it evolved into a new and modern company built, or at least designed, to last. The firm stopped producing its old stalwarts: sewing machines, hair clippers, and certain categories of machine tools (including its line of milling machines). Instead the company refocused on the mass production of automatic screw machines as it completed a three-year, $4 million refitting program for its Providence plant in 1957. In keeping with the latest management theories, Sharpe also reorganized the company into separate divisions, with each one responsible for its own profit and loss. During this era, Brown & Sharpe began to experiment with international expansion and the company established its first overseas subsidiary in Plymouth, England, in 1955. Between 1957 and 1961 the company further expanded through the acquisition of related manufacturers, most notably the machine-producing Double A Products Company.
In the aftermath of the changes that swept the company, it came to outgrow its central plant just west of downtown Providence. In 1964, Brown & Sharpe followed other Providence-based manufacturers out of the city, moving instead to suburban North Kingstown, Rhode Island. These relocations were made possible by the explosion of automobile ownership in the postwar era, which contributed to the rapid growth of Providence's suburbs throughout the 1950s. Given that the company's workers had become more mobile and that the majority of them now lived in these suburban areas, Brown & Sharpe saw an easy opportunity to relocate into a more practical facility. The new plant, dubbed Precision Park as a nod to Brown & Sharpe's history of pioneering manufacture of precise measurement tools, contained 700,000 square feet (65,000 m2) of easily-adaptable floor space. Unlike the old Providence facility, Precision Park had just one story, which allowed for the efficient horizontal movement of materials and improved upon the clumsy vertical circulation system employed in its old plant.
While the company never again reached its wartime peak employment of 11,000, it still employed a substantial 3,394 workers in 1976. These employment levels were partly the result of a concerted effort to smooth production across the recessions of the 1970s and keep employment steady. During this time, President Sharpe and his successor Don Roach sympathized with the workers, whose concerns over job security were only natural considering the cyclical nature of machine-tool manufacturing and the downward trends in manufacturing locally.
Yet despite the policies aimed at maintaining job security, Brown & Sharpe began to make demands that sat uneasily with its workers and union leaders. In 1981, President Don Roach insisted that the company exercise the ability to shift machinists between jobs as needed, but many workers worried that this policy would ignore traditional seniority privileges. In response, 1,600 union workers, members of the International Association of Machinists District Lodge 64, walked out on their jobs in what would become the longest-lasting strike in the nation's history and one of the most antagonistic in recent memory. The strike's hostility transcended the mere debate over the company's labor policy and brought up questions of whether Brown & Sharpe needed its Rhode Island work force at all. The hostilities between labor and management, as well as the deteriorating status of organized labor at the national level, are symbolized well by the incident of March 22, 1982, in which 800 picketers clashed with the state and local police force, leading to the use of tear gas on the former employees. Governor J. Joseph Garrahy publicly apologized for the actions of the police, which appeared unduly severe to many Rhode Island citizens. Although the strike legally continued after the tear-gas incident, the picket line largely disbanded and many workers realized it was time to move on. It was not until 1998, nearly seventeen years after the strike began, that the Rhode Island Supreme Court ended the legal battle, ultimately siding with Brown & Sharpe in its plea that it had not illegally forced the strike. By this point, both Brown & Sharpe and its erstwhile work force were retreating from manufacturing in Rhode Island.
During the long legal proceedings Brown & Sharpe continued to transform as a manufacturer and as an employer. During the 1980s and 1990s Brown & Sharpe started focusing more and more on developing coordinate-measuring machines (CMMs), devices for dimensional measuring, as a more modern and larger progression to their established micrometers. The company began to lose money as it shifted production away from machine tools and toward advanced metrology equipment, losing $14.6 million in 1990. By 1993, employment in North Kingstown had fallen to 700, compared with 2,000 in 1982 and over 3,500 in 1976. In 1994 Brown & Sharpe acquired DEA of Italy an established manufacturer of CMMs. In 2001, substantially all of the assets of the Brown & Sharpe Manufacturing Company, including the intellectual property, designs, trademarks, facilities and inventory, were acquired by Hexagon AB, without the acquisition of the Brown & Sharpe Manufacturing Company itself. The Brown & Sharpe brand of measurement products lives on under the stewardship of the Hexagon Metrology division of Hexagon AB, which retained many of the key individuals from the former Brown & Sharpe company. Brown & Sharpe brand hand tools are now manufactured by Hexagon Metrology's TESA division in Switzerland.[1]

The California Institute of the Sisters of the Most Holy and Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary was originally established in Spain, the Sisters were invited to California in 1870 in Gilroy CA and Mission San Juan Bautista. They were the first teaching order of Sisters in Los Angeles in 1886 when they were called to staff the Cathedral School. The Immaculate Heart Community continues to serve Los Angeles with new forms of membership that invite men as well as women, married, or not.
