    Numbers

    Infinities I2 is a significant number in human activity throughout history and one example is music - the twelve notes of the musical scale. This derives from the harmonic series and I was planning a post on this but got distracted by the mathematics. The harmonic series is what’s called divergent, which means there is no finite end. So it is a form of infinity. And there are, so far as I understand it (which is not very well ) an infinite number of infinities. One puzzle called the “ant (or worm) on the rubber band" supposes an ant crawls along an infinitely-elastic one-metre rubber band at the same time as the rubber band is uniformly stretched. So, if the ant travels 1 centimeter per minute and the band stretches 1 metre per minute, will the ant ever reach the end of the rubber band? You have a think about it while I go and make myself a nice cup of tea... ...OK, worked it out? Here’s the “solution” - did you get it right? Which reminds me of a regular lunchtime walk I used to do with workmates in a previous job along a single track farm road with a straight stretch of about 1 mile along which we would walk to the end, then turn around and come back. There was a bridge about half way and then a gate about half way along the second half and one day it occurred to me that if I was walking half the distance (to the bridge) and then half the remaining distance to the gate and then half the remaining distance etc etc etc then, mathematically, this would be an infinite series of “stages”... ...so how did we ever get to the end? (which obviously we did )
  4. I suspect “Queen Clo” was a tricoteuse in a previous life...

    Jazz

    It’s been a while and I meant to post this back in February when two American jazz-influenced musicians, Chick Corea and Milford Graves, both died just three days apart (they were also born the same year, 1941) Chick Corea in concert 2017 Corea was a significant composer, piano/keyboard player and bandleader and Graves a percussion player, music professor and many other things (sculptor, martial arts and gardening!) As far as I can tell their first recording is when they played together in 1964 aged 23 as session musicians for “Montego Joe” (Roger Sanders) on his debut album arriba!, and on this track (link below), Too Much Sake, you can hear Corea on piano and Graves on percussion (Joe on conga, and Leonard Goines on trumpet) - it’s a great number (by Horace Silver) 🎶Too Much Sake🎶
  7. I’ll have that *snatch* ...and this *double snatch*
  8. so brazen so evil so mine *SNATCH*
  9. *dulcet tones of David Attenborough* ...and here we see the early morning warm-up exercises of the shape-shifting cat / bird as she prepares for the day’s full-blown stomach work-outs that comprise her daily routine...
  10. I miss mine too. So much She liked hearing me play this. It’s such a happy piece The year after he wrote it (1884) Greig arranged the Holberg Suite for string orchestra This is the first of five dance movements - Praeludium (Prelude)
  11. time for some pilfering
  12. 🎶It’s not unusual..🎶 ...to SWIPE
  13. Oops GA posted twice
  14. this is just a brilliant story about two young cousins, Ollie Roberts, age 13, and Harvey Roberts, age 11, wanting to use the time they’ve been given during lockdown, while schools have been shut, to do something more useful than play computer games so they’ve been busy in their Grandad’s workshop learning how to be blacksmiths it’s gone so well not only are they having great fun they’ve built themselves a small business https://www.itv.com/news/wales/2021-03-26/the-young-blacksmiths-from-wrexham-keeping-the-family-trade-alive-six-generations-on if the video doesn’t work in the link above try this
  15. I once had to have a foot long f***er for a back tooth filling and as I tried to squirm away the dentist (who was the spitting image of the one in Marathon Man) said: “I’ve only had one of these things snap on me once...”
  16. I’ll take that *swipe* ...and THIS *SNATCH!*
  17. try number 9 needles, love unless you want your knitting shut down by Health & Safety...
  18. The Guardian Tom McCarthy @TeeMcSee Mon 22 Mar 2021 13.43 GMT UFO report details ‘difficult to explain’ sightings, says US ex-intelligence director US military pilots and satellites have recorded “a lot more” sightings of unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, than have been made public, Donald Trump’s former intelligence director John Ratcliffe said. The truth is out there … perhaps: CIA releases thousands of UFO files Read more Asked on Fox News about a forthcoming government report on “unidentified aerial phenomena”, Ratcliffe said the report would document previously unknown sightings from “all over the world”. “Frankly, there are a lot more sightings than have been made public,” he said. “Some of those have been declassified. And when we talk about sightings, we are talking about objects that have been seen by navy or air force pilots, or have been picked up by satellite imagery, that frankly engage in actions that are difficult to explain, movements that are hard to replicate, that we don’t have the technology for. “Or traveling at speeds that exceed the sound barrier without a sonic boom.” A video grab obtained 28 April 2020 courtesy of the US defense department shows part of an unclassified video taken by navy pilots. Photograph: DoD/AFP via Getty Images The UFO report must be published by early June, pursuant to a clause in a Covid relief and spending package signed by Trump before he left office. Ratcliffe served about eight months as director of national intelligence at the end of Trump’s term. Earlier, Trump moved to nominate Ratcliffe for the role but Ratcliffe withdrew over concerns he had exaggerated and fibbed about his experience as a prosecutor in Texas. “I actually wanted to get this information out and declassify it before I left office,” Ratcliffe said, “but we weren’t able to get it down into an unclassified format that we were able to talk about quickly enough.” The forthcoming report is to be issued by the defense department and intelligence agencies. When an unidentified aerial phenomena is identified, Ratcliffe said, analysts try to explain it as a potential weather disturbance or other routine spectacle. “We always look for a plausible explanation,” he said. “Sometimes we wonder whether our adversaries have technologies that are a little bit farther down the road than we thought or that we realized. “But there are instances where we don’t have good explanations. “So in short, things that we are observing that are difficult to explain – and so there’s actually quite a few of those, and I think that that info has been gathered and will be put out in a way the American people can see.” Asked by Bartiromo where the unidentified phenomena were sighted, Ratcliffe replied, “actually all over the world, there have been sightings all over the world. “Multiple sensors that are picking up these things. They’re unexplained phenomenon, and there’s actually quite a few more than have been made public.” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/mar/22/us-government-ufo-report-sightings ———————————————- Strange but true Fifty one years ago, Britain’s nationalised railway company, British Rail, filed a patent for a fusion powered flying saucer. Quite why the board of a railway company was focusing on interplanetary travel when it couldn’t even run the trains on time is perhaps a bigger mystery than whether UFOs are real... In 1970, the British Railways Board filed a patent for a spacecraft powered by "controlled thermonuclear fusion reaction". The original patent application said the reaction would be "ignited by one or more pulsed laser beams". A patent document reads: "The present invention relates to a space vehicle. More particularly it relates to a power supply for a space vehicle which offers a source of sustained thrust for the loss of a very small mass of fuel. Thus it would enable very high velocities to be attained in a space vehicle and in fact the prolonged acceleration of the vehicle may in some circumstances be used to simulate gravity."
