Our Daily Challenge - Homophone
A homophone is a word that is pronounced the same as another word but with a different meaning.
I've recently bought my little boy some chalk as a reward for doing some 'learning' during the summer holidays.
To avoid him dropping behind at school we are completing a summer reading challenge, doing 'mathletics' on the computer and keeping a daily scrapbook of our activities.
I'm hoping that the practice will enable him to make a good start back at school in September and help him progress!
He has been using the patio as a drawing board with his chalk and I thought that I'd join in the fun!

Maths and geometry 1950s style.
A book of various tables, a slide rule and a set of technical drawing instruments (for geometry)
In my school, we were not allowed to use a slide rule until we reached the 6th Form (Seniors in US, I think). Before that it was those horrific books of tables!

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
The image is of an Ammonite . A predatory squid like creature that went extinct 65 million years ago

central alexandria;
i am happy that my legs are now recovered enough to travel again, to see one of my best friends :-)
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.
今回のような商用に写真を利用したいと言うことに関しては、メールにてお問い合わせください。
But NO rental. (They are our family treasure)
No photo shooting WITHOUT me or my family.
Thank you for your understanding.
ただし、貸し出しは致しませんので（私たち家族にとって宝物なので）、基本的にはナナアクヤとその家族の立会いのもとの撮影、もしくはナナアクヤ撮影の写真のご利用のみとなりますこと、ご理解くださいますようお願いします。
"Integral House": a home for a mathematician, musician, and activist. This is an image of the front elevation of project being built in Toronto. It is wondrous and utterly unique.
If you want to see the back elevation of this house check out "Things to Come" posted on this web page back in December 2007 as well as "Integral House #3".
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.

Bletchley Park War Museum is dedicated to the clever code crackers who invented a machine to automated the process of breaking the German coded messages that were encrypted using the Enigma Machine. It also happens to be the same site where I completed my NATS Engineering training in 1987.
"Tonight’s the night night
Let’s live it up
I got my money
Let’s spend it up
Go out and smash it
Like Oh My God
Jump off that sofa
Let’s get get OFF
I know that we’ll have a ball
If we get down
And go out
And just loose it all
I feel stressed out
I wanna let it go
Lets go way out spaced out
and loosing all control"

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
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.
Like it? Would send me some bitcoin as a tip?

I used the stencils from the Technopolis event for a wall up @ Almazz in Hanoi. The illusion of motion works much better in colour than the last piece that was grayscale, and it's also a lot more apparent in the flesh than on your screen.

Allegedly originally constructed without any metal bolts, then taken apart by engineering students who found themselves unable to reconstruct it in the same way - it is now bolted!

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.
