"That's when the idea hit me to make a broom with a scraper." "One day I was underneath my table with a butter knife and I was scraping up oatmeal, and that's when I thought, 'What am I doing, I need something better,'" Pannell said. The Sweepeasy is a broom with an attached scraper to get those sticky and annoying things off the floor that the broom can't scrape. The deal ended up being canceled because the sharks had a different model that didn't fit what Pannell had in mind.īut he didn't let that stop him from creating what he calls the perfect product. That's what happened to local inventor Shane Pannell, who was on the show more than seven years ago and struck a deal with not one, but two sharks. ![]() From watching the show, you may not realize it, but 43 percent of deals made on "Shark Tank" end up falling through. ![]() Fixed being able to raise Lust's hunger above 100 and below 0 through cheating.

Color ContrastĬolor Contrast by UserLight is an Apple mobile app to test colours on a screenshot or mobile website. Color CheckĬolor Check by Etre allows you to check difference and contrast of foreground and background web colours to make sure it meets WACG 2.0 standards for readability. You can select different deficiencies from the drop-down menu to get an idea of what the image would like to various different people. The Colour Blind Simulator by Etre allows you to upload images to see what they may look like to a person with colour vision deficiency. One drawback is that it doesn’t actually show you the contrast ratio of each combination, but we can get that using other tools.

That, too, is small consolation.Īll I can do is think with my mind. They've proven it in their labs! If the scientists are correct, everything everywhere is, in some sense, the same thing, in the same place-or it might as well be. This happens independently of time and space. ![]() On the other hand, we have been puzzling over quantum mechanics, which suggests the possibility of instantaneous communication between two entangled particles, even if they are at opposite ends of the universe (not that the universe has ends). That whole discussion has been forging ahead on one hand. If I had but world enough, and time, I could spend time pondering a world without end. In that case, how can it be eternal? Eternity is only thinkable in a universe that contains time. To be in your grave and know it! Ah, but I am told, the afterlife does not involve time at all. ![]() I relate it to the horror of the hero of Poe's The Premature Burial. How sad if our freedom to think about the immensity of time and space could be defined by what someone informs us that we believe.īut certainly, some readers have informed me, it is a tragic and dreary business to go into death without faith. To explain myself, I turn to Walt Whitman: I am still working on understanding myself. It is too easy for others to pin one on me, and believe they understand me. What is the utility of arguing our "beliefs" about it? What about the awesome possibility that there was no Cause? What if everything.just happened? But that entity, or force, must by definition be outside space and time beyond all categories of thought, or non-thought transcending existence, or non-existence. I grant you that if the universe was Caused, there might have been a Causer. Not, at least, in the God that most people mean when they say God. I wrote an entry about the way I believe in God, which is to say that I do not. I discovered fractals and Strange Attractors. You would have the mathematical theory of infinity explained so that, while you will still be unable to conceive of infinity, you will understand the thinking involved. You would discover a defender of Intelligent Design so articulate that when he was away for a couple of days, the Darwinians began to fret and miss him. No one will read all the comments except me, but if you did, you could learn all a layman should be expected to understand about the quantum level. How did I find a group of readers with so many metaphysicians? 3, has drawn nearly 1,900 comments, some of them longer than the entry, and it is still active. The thread beneath the evolution entry, posted Dec. Life, science, belief, gods, evolution, intelligent design, the afterlife, reincarnation, the nature of reality, what came before the Big Bang, what waits after final entropy, the nature of intelligence, the reality of the self, death, death, death. But you, my readers, have wanted to write about it. When I began this blog I thought if there was one thing I'd never write about, it would be religion. Then I began writing on the subject of evolution, that most consoling of all the sciences, and was engulfed in an unforeseen discussion about God, the afterlife, and religion. Everyone's life story is awaiting only the final page. In the beginning I found myself drawn toward writing about my life. Still, this blog has led me resolutely toward the contemplation of death. What you're really asking them to admit is, Oh my God, I don't really exist and I might be gone at any given second." Ask them, In the next 30 seconds? No, no, no, that's not gonna happen. "Ask someone how they feel about death," he said, "and they'll tell you everyone's gonna die. I was talking the other day with Jim Toback, a friend of 35 years, and the conversation turned to our deaths, as it always does. But it could happen this moment, while I am writing. ![]() Because I am an adult of great competence, however, I did what I usually do when confronted with something I don’t understand: I became disoriented and frightened. A banner read “Water Lantern Festival,” but I had no memory of lantern festivals in Portland. I could think of no particular holidays in early June. No matter where or how I looked, though, I could not discern just what the Officially Sanctioned Community Event was. I knew it was officially sanctioned because evident in great quantity were tents and banners, wristbands and branded knapsacks, the sound of amplified music, and food trucks. I assumed there would be the usual clutches of homeless people, a handful of folks smoking joints while watching their friends try to juggle exotic juggling implements the names of which I do not know, and of course people in the Dogs May Run Free and Terrorize Each Other Here area smiling in that determined, nervous way dog park folks smile, since they must be prepared for a dog- or human- or dogs-and-humans fight at any moment.īut that is not what I found at all! What I found instead was a park semi-full of people, all of them either already at, or walking rapidly toward, some kind of Officially Sanctioned Community Event. ![]() If anything else, the sight of hundreds of people casting lanterns onto the water was indeed a welcome beacon of light for busy old Portland.When I stepped into Laurelhurst Park in Portland, Oregon, last Saturday evening, I expected to find the park as lovely and quiet as it usually is at the end of the day. Lanterns engulfed the dark pond in Deering Oaks Park with light, highlighting the uniquely strong community that Portland has come to host. This year the festival went off without a hitch, marking its 6th anniversary in Portland. They also take measures to ensure that the electric candles that light the lanterns are collected and either reused or recycled. The lanterns are also made of sustainable materials, such as rice paper which dissolves in the water and bamboo which is buoyant and can be collected more easily. The event happens in a closed-off space, such as a pond, where the lanterns can be safely collected and disposed of. The festival also has taken lengths to be environmentally sustainable. The festival has agreed to donate a portion of its proceeds to. has claimed to have assisted more than 58 million people by providing 4.6 billion dollars in loans at this time with those numbers still growing. The Water Lantern Festival is partnered with, a humanitarian assistance organization that helps people in developing countries get access to safe water and sanitation. The festival certainly has become a popular event and so it is all the more surprising the lengths the organizers take to not only be community-driven, but also charitable and sustainable. The Water Lantern Festival has become a country-wide phenomenon, ranking as the number 1 cultural festival by USA Today. The sharing was a special moment that night that has been and will be repeated more than 120 times throughout the United States. “ It’s really meaningful for people to hear these experiences, hear what people in their community are going through,” said Gallup. Attendees were also offered the opportunity to share the significance of their own lanterns in front of all the rest of the event’s participants. Lanterns were decorated and dedicated to anything from superheroes to lost loved ones, or even to pets who couldn’t attend the event. The Water Lantern Festival also encouraged each lantern to have some personal meaning to it. “We feel that when people are people with each other, that’s when we make our most meaningful connections with other people.” The event pushes for that ideal by providing discounts on merchandise for people who participate in their connection-building scavenger hunt, which has people connect with fellow participants of the event. “It’s to bring communities together,” said Dylan Gallup, the event organizer. ![]() It features an array of food vendors, live music, scavenger hunts, and lantern-building. Starting in Portland in 2018, the festival has become a popular event, selling close to 1,500 tickets this year in Portland alone. Hundreds of lights filled Deering Oaks Park in Portland on September 2 for the annual Water Lantern Festival. A cozy little community festival comes to Portland again. ![]() Automated reminders: Google Calendar sets automated reminders for upcoming events and tasks so that users stay on top of their schedule.You can also schedule events throughout the year with its easy-to-use interface.

Your car is more like a hovercraft than a car, and does not feel at all like you're driving a car. The other cars are very hard to beat sometimes, and they are like they have a pre-written plan, instead of reacting to whats happening NOW. Everything is bad!īut in the previous game, you could drive anywhere, including off-road. You can listen to the techno music on a stereo, since its CD audio.Įverything. If you want fun with it, play only the drag racing mode, Apart from that is a very bad entry in the respected test drive series. You could be leading a race for 3/4 of it, and with a minimum mistake you could lose easily 3 or 4 positions and never regain them again, especially in the circuits with many curves. Its really impossible to unlock the hidden content because it's unlikely that anyone could win all the tracks. And yes, it is a very difficult game, and together with the control they become lethal issues for any racing game. I thought at first that I didn't achieve many victories in the game because I was only a bad player, but then I realised that everyone else complained about the game's extreme difficulty. You can't adjust the difficulty either, because even if you do, you can't notice any difference. Also, the graphic engine is really flawed, and the physics are too heavy and unresponsive, to properly finish one of the complex circuits you need to pick a slower car to handle the curves without crashing, but choosing such a car only guarantees you a defeat -you can´t even reach the checkpoints. It is pretty lame too that you can't almost never win with the lower-end cars, but the computer does it very frequently, for example in a XJ-220 vs Shelby Cobra duel, the first one is the car with the winning odds, until the cobra magically duplicates its horsepower (or whatsoever) leaving you behind really easy. The AI is pretty bad, or good depending on what you expect from it, Once a rival surpasses you, there is a very small chance to see it again. The older cars have more power and overall speed, but the newer have better handling and acceleration. Also, the cars featured are really cool but unbalanced, because that "old vs new" concept worked, in some aspects. featuring wicked and outstanding music which you can hear in your cd player, and the drag racing feature, innovative at its time, and fun, really fun and the times set by the cars are more or less accurate. This is a game with very few positive points, two of them really stand out from the pack: the soundtrack. It has inspired me to think of an activity for younger pupils where they can stick pieces of fabric onto paper to create their own tessellations. I would consider this idea for an upper years class due to the materials required. It would be a good cross-curricular link. This would be something for children to be proud of and they could feel a sense of achievement once completed. ![]() Not only is it creative and involves maths but is something that the children could make a mini version of to take home or make as an entire class for a display. Interestingly, a family friend of mine is very involved with training teachers in mathematics and has created a course about learning mathematics through patchwork (Brown, 2017). Furthermore, in Spain there are many examples of art in tiling such Park Güell in Barcelona. A lot of Islamic art uses tessellations of equilateral triangles, squares and hexagons. The word monohedral literally means ‘one’ – mono and ‘shape’ – hedral. Regular tessellations are made up of only one regular shape repeated, whilst semi-regular tessellations are made up of two or more regular shapes tiled to create a repeating pattern. Tessellations of congruent shapes, such as above, are called monohedral tessellations. These congruent, irregular shapes make the monohedral tessellations (Valentine, 2017). These shapes are, however, congruent, which means they are the same size. All triangles and quadrilaterals also tile but they are not ‘regular’ shapes and you often have to rotate them to make them fit together. you cannot use a pentagon by itself. The regular shapes that do tessellate are: squares, hexagons and equilateral triangles. As the shapes need to fit perfectly together with no gaps or overlaps, you must consider the shapes you use e.g. With Eddie, we looked at the art of a tessellation and the level of maths required to produce one. Have you ever looked around at the beauty of creation and thought just how wonderful it is how everything comes together? How each hexagonal structure in honeycomb is so perfect and they all fit together? Or how symmetrical a butterflies wings are? How about the enormous amount of detail in a sunflower? A huge amount of maths is within this. I live near the Giant’s Causeway and have visited it too many times to count yet without fail every time I go I am always mesmerised by how the hexagonal rocks all fit together to form such a beautiful tourist spot. ![]() It is all around us- in nature, music and photography. It is not just something we do in a textbook to pass time, it can be applied to the real world and is the “building block” in all we do (Hom, 2013). Hom (2013) describes maths as “the science that deals with the logic of shape, quantity and arrangement”. We don’t take time to consider just how complex and essential this subject is. I personally believe that often in today’s world we can limit the idea of maths to calculations, equations and many hours of working things out. |
