HatHeads: 1 Man + 2 Knitting Needles = 50 Fun Hat Designs

• Dimensions: 10 in. h x 8.5 in. w x 0.5 in. d
• Weight: 1.33 ounces
• Made in US

After teaching himself to knit, author Trond Anfinnsen found that pull-on hatsâ€"aka beanies or skulliesâ€"were the perfect-size project. As his pile of hats grew, so did his knitting skills, and soon he began personalizing the hats for family, friends, and friends of friends. Each person received a unique hat designed to suit his or her coloring, personality, and styleâ€"all for free. Trond ev entually teamed with photographer Klaus Skrudland to document what had become an interactive art project, taking portraits of each recipient in his or her hat. Together, the two created, gave away, and photographed more than 200 hats.

HatHeads shares 50 of these hats, all the same beanie shape but with a wide range of designs, offering something for everyone. Each hat is modeled by its recipient, with a full pattern and a funny, affectionate description of how that person inspired the design. Readers then learn how to pick up where Trond left off and create unique, personalized hats for their own friends and loved ones.

Designed in a fresh, graphic style, HatHeads is as unique as its hats, a heartwarming celebration of people, knitting, and the joys of giving.

Question by John C: How many children should a family plan to have so that the probability of having at least one child of each se?

How many children should a family plan to have so that the probability of
having at least one child of each sex is at least 0.95?




Best answer:

Answer by rauchers
1 - 0.5 ^(n-1) >=0.95

0.5^(n-1) >=0.05

ln 0.5^(n-1) >=ln 0.05

n-1 >= ln 0.05 / ln 0.5
n-1 >= 4.32
n> = 5.32
n=6

explaining
no mather what sex the first child has
the probability that secound child has the same sex is 0.5
and the probability th at 2nd and 3th child have the same sex is 0.5^2
so the probability that all n childs have the same sex is
0.5^(n-1)
to have at least one from other sex
1- 0.5^(n-1)
and it must be greater or equal to 0.95
1- 0.5^(n-1) >=0.95

Soul Searching: The Religious and Spiritual Lives of American Teenagers

In innumerable discussions and activities dedicated to better understanding and helping teenagers, one aspect of teenage life is curiously overlooked. Very few such efforts pay serious attention to the role of religion and spirituality in the lives of American adolescents. But many teenagers are very involved in religion. Surveys reveal that 35% attend religious services weekly and another 15% attend at least monthly. 60% say that religious faith is important in their lives. 40% report that they p ray daily. 25% say that they have been "born again." Teenagers feel good about the congregations they belong to. Some say that faith provides them with guidance and resources for knowing how to live well. What is going on in the religious and spiritual lives of American teenagers? What do they actually believe? What religious practices do they engage in? Do they expect to remain loyal to the faith of their parents? Or are they abandoning traditional religious institutions in search of a new, more authentic "spirituality"? This book attempts to answer these and related questions as definitively as possible. It reports the findings of The National Study of Youth and Religion, the largest and most detailed such study ever undertaken. The NYSR conducted a nationwide telephone survey of teens and significant caregivers, as well as nearly 300 in-depth face-to-face interviews with a sample of the population that was surveyed. The results show that religion and spirituality are inde ed very significant in the lives of many American teenagers. Among many other discoveries, they find that teenagers are far more influenced by the religious beliefs and practices of their parents and caregivers than commonly thought. They refute the conventional wisdom that teens are "spiritual but not religious." And they confirm that greater religiosity is significantly associated with more positive adolescent life outcomes. This eagerly-awaited volume not only provides an unprecedented understanding of adolescent religion and spirituality but, because teenagers serve as bellwethers for possible future trends, it affords an important and distinctive window through which to observe and assess the current state and future direction of American religion as a whole.

Chicago: United Center - Chicago Blackhawks Statue




Image by wallyg

The Chicago Blackhawks held a special press conference Thursday, October 12, 2000 prior to the home opener to unveil a sculpture that was done to commemorate their 75th Anniversary season as a member club in the National Hockey League. The sculpture, crafted by Erik Blome, depicts different eras in Blackhawk history. Appropriately, the sculpture is located on Madison Street across from the United Center (Gates 2 & 3) where the Chicago Stadium once stood. The sculpture shows six life-size players wearing different Blackhawk jerseys from six different eras in team history. The figures each stand on a base that will make them seem as if they are blasting through a granite wall. On the granite wall behind the figures will be the names of every player who has donned the Indian Head sweater since 1926 (over 600 names).

The following words are engraved on a plaque located near the statue:
"This symbolic sculpture commemora tes the 75th anniversary of the Chicago Blackhawks Hockey Team. The Bronze players depict the men who donned the Indian Head sweater and the tradition of Blackhawk hockey. Each player represents the pride, the passion, and the emotion of the different eras throughout the storied past of this original six team. The names engraved on the monument are of the players who have competed wearing the Indian Head crest as their Badge of Honor."

United Nations - sculpture - Good Defeats Evil - St. George and the Dragon




Image by Al_HikesAZ

Good Defeats Evil. Artist: Zurab Tsereteli
United Nations Building on the East Side of First Avenue between 45th & 46th Street. St. George slays the dragon.

"The grounds of the United Nations are decorated with numer ous sculptures that have been given to the organization by the governments of member countries as well as by individuals and other organizations [1].
Good Defeats Evil is a sculpture that combines traditional-style bronze work with a more contemporary material--American and Soviet missles. "Good" is represented by a depiction of St. George, who is astride a rearing horse. In his right hand he holds an enormous spear, with which he is slaying a writhing dragon, representing "Evil." The dragon lifts his head with one last attempt at resurgence, but it is clear that this is the dragon's last breath: the dragon's body, which is made of an American Pershing II missile and a Soviet SS20 missile, has been torn apart by St. George's spear."
