Quick reminder: the cheapest way to increase average wages is to lay off low-paid workers. Not a good news story.

Red Campion for the challenge. Not one of my more difficult botanising trips - it's growing in a planter in my front yard in which I encourage wild flowers. Not that they don't also take over the rest of the yard, but some of them aren't so good at growing in the cracks.

3,000-year-old Egyptian flip-flops.
The pair of sandals was made from woven reeds and palm leaves, dating to around 1000 BC. They have been remarkably preserved due to the arid desert climate.

On display at the National Museum of Copenhagen.

The fantastic Norton Disney dodecahedron intrigues everyone. There are other complete examples, e.g., this one from Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt.
We still don't know what those mysterious devices were used for. Any suggestions?

I choose to believe to the people saying that it could be used for making gloves.

Something I keep coming back to as a teacher and learner is Papert's concept of "Objects to Think With". In some ways, math for me is simply a collection of objects to think with. The guitar, too. Card games. The Rubik's cube. A basketball. And a simple way to be a lifelong learner is to continually seek out new objects to think with.

in 1927. Virginia Woolf's stream of consciousness novel To the Lighthouse is published by Hogarth Press in London. It is seen as a landmark of high modernism.

Virginia and her husband Leonard published it together at their Hogarth Press in London in 1927. The first impression of 3000 copies of 320 pages measuring 191 by 127 mm was bound in blue cloth.The book outsold all Woolf's previous novels, and the royalties enabled the Woolfs to buy a car.
