Polscy matematycy

## **Polscy naukowcy rozwikłali nierozwiązany od kilku dekad problem matematyczny.**

Polskim matematykom udało się rozwiązać nierozwiązany od kilkudziesięciu lat problem dotyczący symetrii wszystkich symetrii. W pracach polskich badaczy wspomagał komputer, który, jak mówią sami "wykonał żmudną robotę".

Polskim matematykom udało się rozwiązać nierozwiązany od kilku dekad problem z zakresu geometrycznej teorii grup. W pracy wspomógł ich komputer, którego zadaniem było szukanie macierzy o określonych parametrach. Za odkryciem stoi trójka polskich badaczy: dr Marek Kaluba (Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza i Karlsruher Institut fur Technologie), prof. Dawid Kielak (Uniwersytet Oksfordzki) i prof. Piotr Nowak (Instytut Matematyczny PAN).

„Rozwiązaliśmy pewien od dawna otwarty problem, pokazując, że pewna nieskończona rodzina obiektów algebraicznych - grup - ma własność T, a więc, że jest bardzo niekompatybilna z geometrią Euklidesa" - mówi Nowak. A dr Marek Kaluba dodaje: "Dzięki naszym badaniom zrozumieliśmy pewne geometryczne aspekty grup kodujących symetrie wszystkich symetrii".

Obiekty z własnością T, których dotyczyły badania, mają bardzo egzotyczne właściwości geometryczne (nie daje się ich zrealizować jako symetrii w geometrii euklidesowej). Wydaje się to oderwane od rzeczywistości? Na pozór tak. Ale wiedza o tej skomplikowanej własności T znalazła już zastosowanie. Pozwala choćby konstruować ekspandery - grafy z dużą ilością połączeń wykorzystywane m.in. w algorytmach streamingujących. A takie algorytmy odpowiadają m.in. za wskazywanie trendów na Twitterze.

Aby rozwiązać ten nierozwiązany od kilkudziesięciu lat problem, naukowcy korzystali z komputera. "Komputer wykonał tylko żmudną robotę. Ale nie zastąpił logiki. Naszym pomysłem było bowiem to, żeby zastosować redukcję nieskończonego problemu do problemu skończonego" - mówi prof. Kielak. Marek Kaluba tłumaczy zaś, że problem, nad którym pracowali, był początkowo zbyt duży, żeby go rozwiązać dysponując nawet superkomputerem. "Wobec tego użyliśmy wewnętrznych symetrii tego problemu, aby ułatwić poszukiwania rozwiązania” – mówi. I tłumaczy, że analogiczne podejście będzie można stosować i w rozwiązywaniu innych problemów z zakresu optymalizacji obiektów, które cechują się geometrycznymi symetriami. „Te symetrie (w algebraicznej formie) będzie można zaobserwować również w problemie optymalizacyjnym i użyć ich do redukcji złożoności" - mówi dr Kaluba. I dodaje: "Chociaż więc zajmujemy się abstrakcyjną matematyką, to chcemy, by nasze oprogramowanie było przydatne również w inżynierskich zastosowaniach”. Dawid Kielak dodaje: "Informatyka to nowa fizyka. To, co nas otacza, to nie tylko cząsteczki, ale coraz częściej - również algorytmy. Naszym zadaniem jako matematyków będzie więc i to, by zrozumieć algorytmy, pokazywać, dlaczego one działają albo nie; dlaczego są szybkie lub wolne".
Matriz de Planificación

El resultado del Enfoque de Marco Lógico (-EML- herramienta de análisis para la planificación de proyectos) es lo que se denomina Matriz de Planificación de Proyectos (MPP). En esta matriz se muestra la interrelación de los niveles jerarquizados (objetivo general, objetivos específicos, resultados esperados, actividades, recursos necesarios) de un modo lógico. Para cada nivel se identificarán indicadores y factores externos.

http://2inno.eu/es/content/matriz-de-planificacion-de-proyectos-0
Árbol de Problemas

Un proyecto planificado adecuadamente permite satisfacer las necesidades de los beneficiarios, y por lo tanto se basa en un análisis completo y correcto de la situación existente. Para esto,se deben tomar en cuenta los diferentes puntos de vista de las partes interesadas, incluyendo sus necesidades, intereses y actividades. El proceso de analizar la situación puede realizarse por medio del análisis con el árbol de problemas, que pertenece al grupo de técnicas participativas de planificación. En esta metodología todas las partes interesadas, como beneficiarios, organizaciones de implementación y gobiernos locales, se involucran en el proceso de identificar y analizar de una manera conjunta sus necesidades, apropiándose de las mismas. De esta manera, al estar todas las partes interesadas involucradas, es más fácil que acepten los planes establecidos y se comprometan a implementarlos, lo cual es esencial para el desarrollo de un proyecto.

El árbol de problemas, junto con el árbol de objetivos y el análisis estratégico, forman parte de una metodología de tres pasos que tiene como finalidad identificar los principales problemas, en conjunto con sus causas y efectos. Esto permite a los planificadores de proyectos, definir objetivos claros y prácticos, así como también plantear estrategias para poder cumplirlos.

Robert beniro

**robert beniro** is the tenth episode of Skeleton Story - Chapter One and the tenth episode of Skeleton Story altogether.

## Synopsis

Weird Green Alien Skeleton Alien is harassed by Maxx Groove who begs for them to look at his Robert Beniro impression. He begins a speech in which he impersonates Robert Beniro and advertises NyQuil. Weird Green Alien Skeleton Alien praises his impression and comments that they hope to hear more of his work in the future. Maxx Groove replies "there is no future" and a scary sound is heard.

QQQQQ eats lettuce loudly by himself. The Boy appears to tell him that he has committed two of the Seven Fregley Sins, sins committed by Fregley in Diary of a Wimpy Kid: gluttony, and having a skin disease.

Weird Green Alien Skeleton Alien tells Skeleton Police about their dream. Skeleton Police dismisses this, claiming that if she hears the name Robert Beniro three times she dies. She starts to pretend she's dying, to the skepticism of Weird Green Alien Skeleton Alien.

## Additional Information

* The title "robert beniro" refers to the victim of Maxx Groove's masterful impression.

Batman: The Escape

***Batman: the Escape*** was a steel Intamin Stand-up coaster in the European Section of Six Flags AstroWorld.

## History

The coaster was at first relocated from both Six Flags Magic Mountain, then Great Adventure, where it was both called "ShockWave". When the coaster was getting built it was originally repainted plain white and themed to Batman. The reason probably because of the *Batman Returns* movie being released at that time. Before guest enter the coaster itself, they had to attempt to outrun the villainous Penguin. The queue line went through Arctic Park & the Gotham City Cold Storage, where guest would then board the train and *escape*, hence the rides name. At this point, the park took the abandoned mountain from the old Alpine Sleigh Ride, and turned it into the Batcave. Here you would find some of Bruce Wayne's computer equipment, a Batsuit replica, and even a full scale Batmobile.

In 1998, the Batcave would be eliminated for unknown reasons, possibly since Premier parks purchasing Six Flags at the time.

In 2004, the coaster was repainted yellow and black to make sense with Batman's actual colors.

On October 30, 2005, AstroWorld would shut down for good due to parking disputes. After that, the coaster was planned to be reconstructed at Six Flags Darien Lake, but the park was put for sale by the time it got there. So the coaster was stored a vacant storage lot across the street, and for the next 12 years it was rusting away with no plans to reopen. And besides, Six Flags stated that it wasn't worth constructing the coaster a fourth, and they basically told the new owners to do what they want with it. Since 2018, the track was sold and scrapped for good.

## Trivia

* This was one of only three Intamin Stand-up's to ever be built. With this and Le Cobra from LaRonde gone, only ShockWave at England's Drayton's Manor is still currently the last one.
* This coaster came from Six Flags Great Adventure right after Ultra Twister.

Maxx Groove

"*This should not happen. It is bad.*"

— episode 6

Maxx Groove is a character in Skeleton Story who took Batato's place after he disappeared. He was shot and killed in the beginning of Chapter 2.

## Appearance

Maxx Groove is dressed very similar to Batato, with slicked back hair and a beige dinosaur legs costume. He also wears a white shirt and sneakers. In the beginning of Chapter 2, he loses the dinosaur costume and wears light blue shorts and black boots.

As a ghost, Maxx Groove's shorts and boots become white along with the rest of him.

## Personality

Maxx Groove often speaks strangely and as if he is trying to mitigate conflict between himself and others, although he is not afraid to stand up for what he believes is right. Ultimately, he is a kind man with a strong moral compass.

Maxx Groove's exact role in the Skeleton Story universe is kept under wraps behind his enigmatic manner of speaking.
Mayan Mindbender

***Mayan Mindbender*** was a steel indoor coaster in the Oriental section of Six Flags AstroWorld. It operated from 1995 to 2005.

## History

The coaster first opened at a defunct Spanish park called "Bobolo Island". The coaster was relocated to AstroWorld in 1995. When it opened, it started rivaling Batman :the Escape, and had a beacon of light on the top of the Mayan pyramid it was in, but the light soon had to be turned off due to airplane interferences. Although it wasn't too tall & fast, the dark ride experience added an extra thrill to riders. Sound effects included temple music, and hissing cats & snakes, making it extra scarier. After the park closed on October 30, 2005, the coaster was relocated to Wonderland Park in Amarillo, Texas. There it continues to operate to this day as the "*Hornet*". However, it's its first time outside. It's one of only three coasters that resumes operation, with others being Texas Tornado & Serial Thriller.
Astroneedle

**AstroNeedle** (originally named ***Skyrama***) was a 340 foot-long Double decker Intamin gyro tower in the European Village section of Six Flags AstroWorld. It slowly spun passengers took them up on a 360 paranomic view of Houston, Texas. It was one of the centerpieces of the park. In 1999-2000, it was dismantled for unknown reasons after operating for 32 years. It was then stored in the parks storage building until the closure of AstroWorld in 2005. After those events, it was to be relocated to Six Flags Mexico in Mexico City, but this never commenced. It was sadly demolished.
Ultra Twister

***Ultra Twister*** was a steel barrel-roll roller coaster in the European Village section of Six Flags AstroWorld.

## History

Ultra Twister first opened at Six Flags Great Adventure under the same name in 1986. This was the first and only TOGO Ultratwister Pipeline rollercoaster to ever come to the United States, as it originated in Japan. Due to Great Adventure being a pretty large park, the coaster closed in 1986 due to overpopulation. The coaster was then relocated to the much smaller & now defunct Six Flags AstroWorld at Houston, Texas. In 2003, the coaster was repainted from its original bluish white scheme into a much better green & blue scheme. On October 30, 2005, the coaster closed along with the park. After the closure, most people decided to relocate or scrap some of the parks attractions. So the coaster was relocated to Six Flags America, but by the time it got there, it was supposedly damaged beyond repair. The ride was put up for sale in 2009 once TOGO went out of business, then eventually it was removed from the park in and possibly scrapped. To this day, there are no such thing as Ultratwister coasters in the US.

## Trivia

* As of today, most of these remaining models are still operating, but all of which are located in Japan.

Swamp Buggy Ride

***Swamp Buggy Ride*** (sometimes known simply as ***Swamp Buggy***) was a steel roller coaster in the Fun Island section of Six Flags AstroWorld.

## History

The coaster was added in 1970 during the park's expansion for Fun Island. It was a small 55 foot Toboggan coaster that spun passengers around the middle which was designed to look like an empty tree trunk. It was removed in 1973, and to this day it's unknown whatever happened the coaster since almost all of them have since been torn down.

As of today, there are a few traveling Toboggan's, and one at Wisconsin's Little Amerricka.
Lost World Adventure

***Lost World: Rio Mysterio*** (then renamed ***the River of No Return***, then ***the Wetlands***) was a jungle style river boat ride in the Plaza de Fiesta section of Six Flags AstroWorld. It remained on operated from 1968 until 1988, before being replaced by Tidal Wave.

## History

The ride first opened with the park on June 1, 1968. While riding, guest would encounter many statues and animals. The boats were of course airconditioned like the other rides. In 1976, the ride was renamed to the *River of No Return,* then again renamed *The Wetlands*. In early 1988, the ride closed an was replaced by Tidal Wave.
WaterWorld

**WaterWorld** was a waterpark at Six Flags AstroWorld. It opened in 1983 as a separate park, in 2002 the two parks merged.

## History

WaterWorld first opened in 1983. When it opened it was Houston, Texas' first major waterpark. At the time of its opening, the only way to get in WaterWorld was to take the 610 Limited. Although it shared an entrance with AstroWorld, a separate $8.95 admission charge was required for entry; by comparison, the one-day ticket price for AstroWorld at the time was $12.50.

The 10-acre 1.9 million-gallon water park featured a 200 ft-long wave pool called Breaker Beach. According to the *Houston Chronicle*, other attractions included the Lagoon, "a lush swimming area with waterfalls and diving platforms". Water slides included Wipe-Out, Typhoon, Tidal Wave, and Hurricane, which offered twisting and turning rides as long as 400 ft while patrons slid back down to earth.

In 2002, the two parks merged, and eventually walkways were built. In addition, it was allowed for guests to enter both parks with one ticket. On September 12, 2005, CEO of Six Flags, Kieran Burke announced that both parks would be shut down for good on the final day of Fright Fest on October 30th. Both parks were demolished, and rides were relocated.
Looping Starship

**Looping Starship** was an Intamin Loopingstar Ship ride of the same name in Six Flags AstroWorld. It ran from 1986 to October 30, 2005. After the parks closure, a piece of the shell was sunken at Mammoth Lake in Clute, TX, while the rest of the shell and parts were relocated to Six Flags Over Texas were it ran until 2014, then was demolished.
Viper

**Viper** was steel rollercoaster in the Oriental section of AstroWorld. It opened in 1989 and closed in 2005. It was demolished after the closure.

## History

The coaster first was painted sky blue and operated from 1981 to 1988 as **Jetscream** at Six Flags St. Louis. The coaster was taken the AstroWorld in 1989, was repainted dark green, and renamed *Viper*. When guests are exiting the lift hill, they would go through a tunnel with a green dragon painted on it. After the parks closure, it was unfortunately demolished and scrapped. It's trains are now at Six Flags Over Georgia.

## Trivia

* As of today, the only Schwarzkopf Loopingstar coaster in America is Silver Bullet at Frontier City.
* Viper had a similar Shuttle loop appearance to Greezed Lightnin'.
Serpent

The ***Serpent*** was a steel roller coaster in the Oriental Village section of Six Flags AstroWorld. This rollercoaster was a junior mini-minetrain coaster built by Arrow Dynamics in 1969. Serpent was the very first coaster in the park, and Arrow's last mini mine train coaster. It closed with the park on October 30, 2005. The track was unfortunately demolished and scrapped, but its trains moved to Six Flags Over Texas.
Excalibur

***Excalibur*** (formerly known as ***the*** ***Dexter Frebish Electric Roller Ride***) was a steel roller coaster in Six Flags AstroWorld.

## History

### The Dexter Frebish Electric Roller Ride (1972-80)

When this coaster opened in the Country Fair section of the park 1972, it was named *"the Dexter Frebish's Electric Roller Ride"*, which is probably a unique name for a coaster. There's even a Texas based alternative rock band named after it.

### Excalibur (1981-98)

Nine seasons later, its section was renamed "Nottingham Village" to fit medieval themes. So the coaster was given a new brownish red paint scheme and renamed *Excalibur*. This would last for 17 more seasons before it was closed down for good in 1998. The coaster was then taken to Frontier City in Oklahoma City. Unfortunately, it was damaged during the shipping process, so it remained in Frontier City's storage for several years before being ultimately scrapped in 2005. The same year Excalibur died, its home would shut down for good. It's space had been replaced by Serial Thriller.

Serial Thriller

***Serial Thriller*** was a steel rollercoaster in the Nottingham Village section of Six Flags AstroWorld. It opened in 1999 and closed in 2005. It is now at La Ronde. This would be the park's last rollercoaster.

## History

The ride first opened on May 29, 1999. The coaster it was placed on the former spot of Excalibur. After AstroWorld's closure, the coaster was put into storage at the Great Escape for four years. It then reopened at LaRonde in 2010 where it now operates as "*Ednor-L'Attaque*" which is just "Ronde" spelled backwards. Its supporters have been repainted from teal to a yellow scheme.

## Trivia

* There was also another Vekoma SLC that had the same color scheme named *Serial Thriller* at another defunct Six Flags park named Geauga Lake.
Maglev

El **Tren de levitación magnética**, también conocido como **Maglev** es el principal y mas importante sistema de transporte en toda la base, los magnéticos se desplazan a altas velocidades y unen los principales complejos de nivel superior en toda la base.

## Gameplay

Luego de decidir mandar o no el mensaje de auxilio a la armada, el jugador deberá dirigirse al Complejo Omega en orden de averiguar que es lo que realmente se hacia en ese lugar y que tiene que ver con todo lo que esta pasando en la base. La ruta forma mas rápida de llegar es a través del Maglev, por lo que se deberá tomar la estación correspondiente al Centro de comunicaciones satelitales. El monorriel estará varado, por lo que el jugador tendrá que recorrer a pie todo el trayecto hasta la estación, aunque debido a que el Maglev esta evitando el paso, el jugador tendrá que tomar un atajo por el Sitio 3 en orden de llegar a Omega. Al atravesar el complejo de bodegas, el jugador llegara finalmente a la estación Omega, donde se le sera advertido por los mensajes de email guardados de la existencia de una torreta automática de seguridad ubicada en el control de seguridad Omega que da acceso al complejo. El jugador deberá desactivar la torreta y la barrera holográfica para finalmente acceder al Complejo Omega sector 1.
Dungeon Drop

**Dungeon Drop** was a second generation Intamin drop-tower in the Nottingham Village section of AstroWorld.

## History

The ride opened in 1998, a year after SkyScreamer was removed. The ride was heavily themed, due to its medieval castle as the queue line. After guest past through, they would take a seat, then go 20 stories up in the air before going down. After it closed with the park in 2005, it was relocated to Six Flags St. Louis, where it was repainted in a new red, yellow, and blue scheme, and renamed "*Superman: Tower of Power*". It closed in 2020, and was demolished the following year.

Texas Cyclone

The ***Texas Cyclone*** was a wooden roller coaster designed by William Cobb at Six Flags AstroWorld in Houston, Texas. The coaster was based off the Coney Island Cyclone in Brooklyn, New York. When it opened, it was labeled the #1 Rollercoaster in the world. After the closing of AstroWorld, the coaster was sadly demolished since it was too costly to move. A small section of track is currently stored in the National Rollercoaster Museum in Plainview Texas. Its trains are now at LaRonde.

XLR-8

***XLR-8*** was a steel roller coaster in the Plaza de Fiesta section of Six Flags AstroWorld. It operated in the park from 1984 to 2005 before closing.

## History

After the failure of the original Bat at Kings Island in Mason, Ohio, Arrow Huss went back to the drawing board plan and created *XLR-8*, making it the first Arrow Suspended coaster.

The name is a pun on the word *accelerate*, this name would eventually be used for the Ben 10 character of the same name. In Fright Fest 2002, the coaster would be renamed "8-RLX" and turn around some of its trains, allowing riders to choose to ride in a forward or backward experience. In 2004, the coaster received a new brighter teal blue & orangish yellow scheme, replacing its original blackish blue & gray. After AstroWorld's closure, the coaster was purchased on February 3, 2006, and sold for $50,000 and was entirely scrapped. The train cars are currently used for Ninja at Six Flags Magic Mountain.

* As of right now, 6 of these kind still exists, including the new Bat at Kings Island.
* The coasters trains would dangle above the Lost World Boat Ride & Tidal Wave.
The Closure

## Announcement

On September 12, 2005, CEO of Six Flags, Kieran Burke announced that AstroWorld would not reopen for the 2006 season and would cease to operate on the final day of Fright Fest 2005. The park had closed due to weak profits, decrease attendance, increasingly dissatisfied guests, and unfortunate circumstances. Even though AstroWorld had been long neglected. The main reason Burke decided for the closure was parking disputes with the park and the Astrodome's new nearby neighbor Reliant Stadium. They've expected to receive $150 million for the land.

## Final Day

Fifteenth days before the closure, Greezed Lightnin' celebrated its one millionth launch, but it was overshadowed because of the upcoming closure. October 30, 2005 was the very last day of Six Flags AstroWorld's operation. Demolition would began the very next day.

## Demolition

Following the closure, Six Flags inspectors had to spend a course around $20 million to demolish the park in the next five months. The land was completely cleared and only an empty lot remained where more than 10 coasters once stood. The pools that were once present were filled up with dirt. As for the land, it was sold for a development of only $77 million, nearly far below what was expecting. These events prompted Six Flags to make a decision to remove Kieran Burke from the position of CEO. On January 2006, there was an auction held at the site for the rides.

Some of the rides like *Dungeon Drop, Looping Starship, Tidal Wave, Warp 2000, SWAT, Diablo Falls, 610 Limited, Serial Thriller, Batman: The Escape, Mayan Mindbender, Ultra Twister, and Greezed Lightnin' were relocated other parks.*

Other rides on the other hand were not so lucky to be saved. Casualties that were demolished and died on the property included *Thunder River, Bamboo Shoot, the AstroWay, XLR-8, Viper, Serpent,* and most sadly, even the *Texas Cyclone!*

For 37 years, the park continued to grow. With a lot of hope and a bit of luck, Houston will once again have a new amusement/water park in the wrath of Grand Texas. But AstroWorld still lives on in the memories of those who were lucky enough to visit it, and they urn to go back into Houston's wonderful world of fun.

## Trivia

* Many of the relocated rides never actually reopened and remained in storage. Many of those that did resume operating have since closed.
* Some blame Kieran Burke of course for AstroWorld and Astrodome's downfalls, while others are blaming Reliant Stadium.
Quints

**Quints** is a Disney Channel Original Movie directed by Bill Corcoran. The film was released on August 18, 2000.

## Plot

Fourteen-year-old Jamie Grover is an only child who resents the constant attention her parents give her. Her wish for less attention is finally granted when her mother becomes pregnant. However, her mother gives birth to quintuplets and Jamie's life changes dramatically and she begins to resent her new siblings. She also discovers she might not want the same things for herself that her parents want for her. Because of the demands of having five babies in the house, her parents focus all of their attention on the Quints: Adam, Becky, Charlie, Debbie, and Eddie.

Jamie's parents hire a babysitter named Fiona to help take care of the Quints, although she later resigns due to exhaustion. To help cover costs, Jamie's parents agree to let their babies star in a diaper commercial. Albert, a representative for the diaper company, works with Jamie's parents to devise ways to keep the Quints popular. Jamie reluctantly joins her school's art class, taught by Mr. Blackmer, and discovers that she enjoys it. When Adam becomes ill, Jamie discovers that she really does not mind the babies and that she does have the courage to let her parents know she has dreams of her own. Jamie's parents fire Albert after he suggests replacing Adam with a look-alike baby for an upcoming event. Adam recovers, and Jamie becomes upset when her parents forget about her art being displayed in the school's art show; they attend a dinner with the governor instead but visit the school later after remembering the art show and she wins the blue ribbon.

At the very end of the movie, she said that her mom was now pregnant again with septuplets.

Matematyka w szkole jest bezcenna!

## **Niedoceniana matma**

Brak lekcji matematyki wpływa destrukcyjnie na mózg nastolatków.

Matematyka jest zmorą wielu uczniów. Coraz więcej wiemy jednak o pozytywnych skutkach nauki tego przedmiotu i negatywnych konsekwencjach przerwania tego procesu. Naukowcy z Wydziału Psychologii Eksperymentalnej na Uniwersytecie Oksfordzkim w Wielkiej Brytanii przebadali 133 uczniów w wieku między 14. a 18. rokiem życia. W kraju tym już 16-latkowie mogą zadecydować, że nie chcą więcej uczyć się matematyki. Sytuacja ta pozwoliła zbadać, jaki ma to wpływ na rozwój mózgu nastolatków.

## **Matematyka nadaje mózgowi plastyczności**

Jak pokazały badania, w najistotniejszych obszarach mózgów osób, które przerwały wcześniej naukę matematyki, znaleziono mniejszą ilość kwasu gamma-aminomasłowego. Pełni on bardzo ważną rolę, gdyż nadaje mózgowi plastyczności. Jego mniejszą zawartość odnotowano w regionach odpowiedzialnych za istotne funkcje poznawcze, m.in. rozumowanie, rozwiązywanie problemów, pamięć, uczenie się oraz działania matematyczne.

Tylko na podstawie ilości kwasu gamma-aminomasłowego naukowcy byli w stanie odróżnić osoby, które szybciej porzuciły naukę matematyki, od tych, które pracowały nad nią dłużej.

## **Nauka matematyki ma zbawienny wpływ na rozwój młodego mózgu**

Umiejętności matematyczne niosą ze sobą szereg korzyści – większe możliwości zatrudnienia, status społeczno-ekonomiczny, a także zdrowie psychiczne i fizyczne. Okres dojrzewania to czas wiążący się z ważnymi zmianami w mózgu i funkcjach poznawczych. Niestety, możliwość zaprzestania nauki matematyki w tym wieku wydaje się prowadzić do przepaści między nastolatkami, którzy przerywają naukę matematyki, a tymi, którzy ją kontynuują. Nasze badanie ujawnia biologiczne zrozumienie korzyści, jakie niesie ze sobą edukacja matematyczna dla rozwijającego się mózgu oraz wzajemnego oddziaływania na siebie biologii organizmu i edukacji – pisze Roi Cohen Kadosh, profesor neurologii na Uniwersytecie Oksfordzkim, który kierował badaniem.'

## **Alternatywne metody stymulacji mózgu**

Według badacza nie każdy nastolatek lubi matematykę i ma odpowiednią motywację do jej nauki. Profesor Kadosh chciałby zatem opracować alternatywne metody na osiągnięcie przez nastolatków takich korzyści, jakie przynosi długa nauka matematyki. Alternatywą taką może być np. logika oraz ćwiczenie logicznego rozumowania.

Póki co cieszmy się, że w Polsce uczymy się matematyki do 18 roku życia!
Ready to Run

**Ready to Run** is a Disney Channel Original Movie directed by Duwayne Dunham. The film was released on July 14, 2000.

## Plot

Ready to Run is the story of 14-year-old Corrie Ortiz, an energetic girl who dreams of becoming a jockey in the predominantly male sport of Thoroughbred horse racing. Although her father died in a racing-related accident, and her mother is against it, Corrie's spirited memory drives her to try to achieve her goal.

She also has the gift her grandmother calls the "confidence of horses". It allows Corrie to communicate with her horse, Thunder Jam (TJ), who lives dispiritedly in his sire's shadow. Though TJ is an excellent runner, he has an immense fear of the starting gates.

To conquer this fear, the team employs the strange tactic of placing headphones over TJ's ears. Surprisingly, the music works. TJ can now get through the gate with confidence. The headphones later become a trademark of Thunder Jam as he wins more and more races. B. Moody, an ex-circus rider, is picked up as the jockey, however, an accident caused by Thunder Jam's competition leaves Moody injured and unable to compete, thus forcing Corrie to step in and take his place.

At the final race of the season their toughest opponent is doing everything he can to see that he wins. He takes it up with the judges that the headphones on TJ's ears are stimulating the horse in some rule breaking manner and should be disallowed.

Dismayed, Corrie and TJ have to run the race without their signature item. After a rough start, Moody ingeniously puts TJ's music over the racecourse’s loudspeakers, and TJ, made confident by the familiar song, goes on to win the fictional Gold Rush Derby.

817 Great Dane

* Original
* EPC media

### First Appearance

Littlest Pet Shop (2009, Hasbro)Littlest Pet Shop (TV series) (2009, EnzoProd Company)

### Latest Appearance

Littlest Pet Shop Spring (2010, Hasbro)TBA! (The EnzoProd Company)

**817 Great Dane** is a pet in Littlest Pet Shop. He is also part of the Littlest Pet Shop Party.

## Personality

The Great Dane is very energetic, spunky, and adventurous. He also has a huge sweet tooth, as evident by his dialogue mentioning his love for cake and other sweet treats as well as constantly having cookie crumbs on his nose, which his scent often tricks him into thinking it’s something else such as cookie-scented perfume or the location of Bakery Tweets. He and his best friend also share a love for fashion.

## Appearance

817 Great Dane is a dark brown great dane with a cream snout, spot over right eye, inner ears, undercoat, paws, and tail tip. Its eyes are cyan to turquoise.
Gus Griswald

**Gustav Patton "Gus" Griswald** is one of the main characters from the television series Recess.

## Background

### Personality

In the second episode "The New Kid", Gus moves to town and starts attending Third Street School. Because his father is in the army, he and his family often have to move to different towns. He also lived there for a brief period of time when he was in kindergarten but moved a day after starting school.

Gus is the shyest member of the gang, and often gets frightened easily. Because he is naiver and more inexperienced, he sometimes messes up the plans made for the episode at times. Despite these qualities, he has been said to have the biggest heart out of everyone in the gang, and tries to get along with everyone, with mixed results. Despite being cowardly, he will often stand up to anybody troubling him, which was shown when he was in kindergarten.

When he was in kindergarten, he met the other five members of the gang. He seemed to be the group "leader" at first, being more outgoing and excited as opposed to his personality years later. The first kid he befriended in the gang was T.J., and he was the one who gave him his nickname. Gus also showed the other kids that Mikey was not a bully; Randall was just trying to set him up. He then tells the other kids to stop acting so shy and start having fun like kindergartners do, which introduces the characters' personalities they have in the show itself. After Randall tattles on him, he is put in the principal's office. This is the time when T.J. becomes the leader of the kids and has them work together to save Gus, and their plan worked. Gus moved the next day and did not come back until fourth grade. However (and perhaps because of his relatively short tenure in kindergarten compared to them), none of the kids seemed to remember him.

### Physical Appearance

Gus is slender and short and has a short crop of blond hair that he styles into a marine cut just like his father. He also has fair skin and black-dotted eyes. He wears a tucked in green t-shirt, dark green pants, white socks and brown shoes. He also wears grey square-shaped glasses and a grey wristwatch on his left wrist.
Greezed Lightnin'

***Greezed Lightnin'*** was a steel Shuttleloop rollercoaster manufactured by Anton Schwarzkopf in the Western Junction section of Six Flags AstroWorld. It opened in 1978, and closed with the park in 2005. It was the park's first coaster to feature a loop.

## History

When the park closed, the coaster was relocated to Joyland Amusement Park in Lubbock, Texas. However, due to the park's unstable ground it was put into their storage at the nearby Mackenzie Park until 2012. Then Cliff's Amusement Park in Albuquerque, NM he acquired, but still it remains in storage and hasn't returned yet. There was even an attempt to reopen the coaster under its same name at the upcoming Grand Texas Theme Park & Big Rivers Fairgrounds in New Caney, TX, but this also never commenced.

## Trivia

* As of today, the only Schwarzkopf Shuttleloops in America are *Montezooma's Revenge* at California's Knott's Berry Farm, & the former Laser Loop (from Kennywood) that's currently ready to open in 2022 at Grand Island's Niagara Amusement Park & Splash World.

## Layout

Guests on the train would go reverse then accelerate to the 360 degree vertical shuttle loop, then go backwards through the inversion again. The coaster was painted dark blue.

Tales z Miletu

## **Notka biograficzna**

**Tales z Miletu, Thalḗs,**

To grecki filozof, matematyk i astronom ur. ok. 620, zm. ok. 540 r. p.n.e.

Był pionierem racjonalnego podejścia w badaniu przyrody i szukaniu odpowiedzi na pytania o sens i początek Wszechświata oraz spożytkowania wiedzy w rozwiązywaniu problemów praktycznych, uważany za inicjatora nauki greckiej, zaliczany do siedmiu mędrców starożytnej Grecji. Tales był synem Karyjczyka Eksamiasa (przypisywane mu przez niektóre przekazy pochodzenie fenickie jest mało prawdopodobne). Był pierwszym z jońskich filozofów przyrody. Nie pozostawił żadnych dzieł pisanych, jego poglądy krążyły w formie przypisywanych mu wypowiedzi.

## **Matematyka**

Zasługi Talesa polegają głownie na położeniu fundamentów matematyki (a zwłaszcza geometrii) jako nauki dedukcyjnej. Według jej reguł każdy obiekt powinien posiadać precyzyjną definicję, a każda jego własność powinna być uzasadniona na gruncie wyjściowych założeń (postulatów i aksjomatów) i na drodze logicznego rozumowania. Przed Talesem matematyków egipskich, babilońskich i greckich interesował wynik, odpowiedź na pytanie "ile" i "jak", Tales jako pierwszy zadał pytanie "dlaczego". Wprowadził do matematyki pojęcie dowodu twierdzenia i formalnie udowodnił wiele geometrycznych faktów uznawanych wcześniej za oczywiste. Szczególnie badał własności trójkątów podobnych i wielkości zachowywane przy rzutowaniu równoległym.

Talesowi tradycja przypisuje 5 twierdzeń geometrycznych, w tym noszące do dziś jego imię tzw. twierdzenie Talesa o proporcjonalności odcinków wyznaczonych na ramionach kąta płaskiego przez dwie równoległe przecinające je linie proste (choć obecnie wiemy, że znane było ono wcześniej nauce babilońskiej). Wedle tradycji udowodnił on też twierdzenie, że średnica dzieli koło na dwie równe części (dowodu tego nie podaje późniejszy o trzy wieki Euklides).

## **Zastosowania praktyczne**

Tales umożliwił armii lidyjskiej sforsowanie rzeki Halys, odprowadzając część wody z jej koryta specjalnie wykopanym w tym celu kanałem, co czyni go ważnym prekursorem w dziedzinie inżynierii wodnej. Z jego umiejętności hydrotechnicznych miał też korzystać władca Medów Cyrus. Wiadomo też, że podczas pobytu w Egipcie mierzył wysokość piramid na podstawie długości ich cienia, wykorzystując taki moment dnia, gdy cień obiektu był równy jego wysokości. Wedle Kallimacha radził żeglarzom kierować się raczej wedle Małej niż Wielkiej Niedźwiedzicy. Wykorzystując własności trójkątów podobnych obliczał odległości od brzegu okrętów znajdujących się na pełnym morzu. Przewidział niemal całkowite zaćmienie Słońca 28 maja 585 r. p.n.e., które zmusiło do rozejmu walczących od 6 lat w wojnie Medów i Lidyjczyków, a Talesowi zjednało sławę wielkiego uczonego.
