Let us assume that there are five houses of different colors next to each other on the same road. The Englishman lives in the red house. The question to be answered is: Who keeps fish? This is a simple constraint satisfaction problem. The next concept to define is that of a House. The result is a network with five paths. With C16 added, only one solution remains.

Seize the Day Seize the Day by Derek Lin Here's a puzzle for you: What do you see in this grid above? What do you think it represents? Okay, it's not a difficult puzzle. The answer is "one year." The columns represent days and the rows are the twelve months of the year, so each day of the year occupies one square. "Okay," you ask, "so what's the big deal?" When I look at this grid I get a chill because I'm used to thinking about one year as a long time. This grid is the layout of a typical table blotter calendar that you can find in any office supply store. In any event, confronting the grid and contemplating its meaning is a sobering experience for me. How many more grids do you have? If I am lucky. When you see it this way, you come to the inescapable conclusion that, indeed, life is too short.

The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob , the next-door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel. After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. "It was Bob the next door neighbor," she replies. "Great," the husband says, "did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?

In Socratic teaching we focus on giving students questions, not answers. We model an inquiring, probing mind by continually probing into the subject with questions. Fortunately, the abilities we gain by focusing on the elements of reasoning in a disciplined and self-assessing way, and the logical relationships that result from such disciplined thought, prepare us for Socratic questioning. Thankfully, there is a predictable set of relationships that hold for all subjects and disciplines. Each of the elements represents a dimension into which one can delve in questioning a person. As a tactic and approach, Socratic questioning is a highly disciplined process. A Socratic questioner should:
The Geek and The Hipster: Love Story For Our Generation? | North Hollyhood Before you kill me over semantics, I am NOT suggesting that modern film romances are about World of Warcraft fanboys wheezing over skinny-jeaned girls on fixed-gear bikes. I use “geek” and “hipster” as loose labels for character archetypes that pop up in some youth-aimed romance stories in film nowadays. I’m not sure what this says about our generation, if anything at all, but hell, it’s worth considering. There was a time when teen romances were about the social outcast pining after the head cheerleader, or the captain of the football team. The Geeky Protagonist There have been “geeks” in love stories for decades, but “geek” has come to mean something different to our generation. The Hipster Object-of-Affection “Hipster” is a loaded word, one that’s associated with a certain style and stereotype, but for our purposes, I only use it as a loose label for the unique-for-the-sake-of-unique, too-cool-for-school attitude.

Toddler strikes up friendship with orangutan "It was quite incredible to see such interaction and as you can see they make for the cutest pictures." However, the unusually intimate interaction was of no surprise to T.I.G.E.R.S founder Dr Bhagavan Antle. "I am not surprised by Rishi and Emily's friendship," reveals Dr Antle. "Orangutans are intelligent and certainly the most friendly apes on the planet. "The youngsters enjoy their playtime and are always looking for an opportunity experience new things and make new friends and monkey around. "Rishi, who is the youngest of the family, is always looking for someone to play with. "That's where Emily stepped in to provide a playmate to swing in the trees, have tea with, and go for a ride. "All infants have the capacity to get along and as youngsters the barriers between species appear to disappear." Orangutans are one of the most endangered species on earth.
