327 years ago Today, Johann Bernoulli challenged Isaac Newton with a 6 month deadline to solve the problem of the brachistochrone. Newton got the message on Jan 26 at 4 pm and solved it going to bed that same night.

Look Up. This is what a great ceiling looks like. It's St. Mary's Basilica in Krakรณw, Poland, built 700 years ago. But that's just one breathtaking example, so here are 21 more... ๐Ÿงต

This is not the ceiling of the Taj Mahal, Notre-Dame or La Sagrada Familia. It's the Palau de la Mรบsica Catalana, in Barcelona But that's only one architectural wonder of Spain, so here are 21 more... ๐Ÿงต

Obviously there can be very good reasons for cancelling - particularly if someone whose wellbeing or energy levels fluctuate unpredictably. But other than that - to my mind this is just plain rude. Arrangements are commitments. (Yes Iโ€™m old!) theguardian.com/lifeandstyleโ€ฆ

Why are @BlendJet still advertising when they havenโ€™t yet replaced the blenders they recalled due to a flaw well over a year ago ? That is just plain dishonest

'Ring Out Wild Bells' by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Happy New Year. 'Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light: The year is dying in the night; Ring out, wild bells, and let him die. Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true. Ring out the grief that saps the mind For those that here we see no more; Ring out the feud of rich and poor, Ring in redress to all mankind. Ring out a slowly dying cause, And ancient forms of party strife; Ring in the nobler modes of life, With sweeter manners, purer laws. Ring out the want, the care, the sin, The faithless coldness of the times; Ring out, ring out my mournful rhymes But ring the fuller minstrel in. Ring out false pride in place and blood, The civic slander and the spite; Ring in the love of truth and right, Ring in the common love of good. Ring out old shapes of foul disease; Ring out the narrowing lust of gold; Ring out the thousand wars of old, Ring in the thousand years of peace. Ring in the valiant man and free, The larger heart, the kindlier hand; Ring out the darkness of the land, Ring in the Christ that is to be.' Liverpool Anglican Cathedral, photographed in 2023.

I would just like to vent about how crap the latest @casiouk Casio calculators Classwiz) are compared to their predecessors I know this isnโ€™t news to anyone teaching others how to use them. But having just been making slides to show how to use each - new one is so much clumsier!
