Access full lesson containing this video at: http://www.yourteacher.com/geometry/triangleproportionalitytheorem.php Students learn the following theorems related to similar triangles. If a line is parallel to a side of a triangle, and it intersects the other two sides of the triangle, then it divides these sides proportionally (Triangle Proportionality Theorem). If three parallel lines intersect two transversals, then they divide the transversals proportionally (Corollary of the Triangle Proportionality Theorem). If a ray bisects an angle of a triangle, then it divides the opposite side of the triangle into segments that are proportional to the other two sides (Triangle Angle-Bisector Theorem). Students are then asked to solve problems related to these theorems using Algebra.

Fog of War- Lesson #5- Proportionality

Former Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara offers lessons learned from his time in Washington D.C. His is a voice worth listening to. Its really sad that wisdom like he is offering was not employed before the Invasion of Iraq by American and British forces.

The Brian Rice Theorem of Inverse Proportionality

LIVE at Annabels Cabaret and Discoteque, Plymouth, Spaghetti Club as part of the PL:ay Festival June 2007 You are invited to witness a rare public display of the Rice Pie Theorem as scientists Rose and Dickinson take you on a journey to 1974. Excerpt: Hobby mathematician Neil Rose along with part-time physicist Tim Dickinson believe they have conquered the Rice theorem, which they now call the Rice Pie Theorem of inverse proportionality, and using a thermo nuclear reactor that Dickinson constructed in his shed from an aquarium pump and a door handle, the two scientists are believed to have perfected time travel, again Brian Rice refutes this.

Proportionality: A Guide Line In War? Interview R.S.McNamara

Could the USA be the most aggressive, murderous race in history? Testing weapons and over-kill are favorite past-times. Nothing's changed! Nearing 2 million dead in Iraq -- and Bush wants more blood! (and oil) America's support for Israel in the middle east seems to be the reason for so much turmoil don't you think? Maybe it's because Bush thinks he's Jewish?... but certainly because he's a criminal. Stop the wars! Robert McNamara increased the defense budget spending to record levels in the 1960's (1968 = 74.9 billion) that was not surpassed until 1984. Robert McNamara is rewarded by becoming President of the World Bank (1968-1981) Robert McNamara is a War Criminal and now feels very guilty (in his old age) about killing so many. Robert McNamara also knows who killed the Kennedys and exactly why! ---------------------------------------- Some additional info... The New York Times reported at the time, "Maj. Gen. Curtis E. LeMay, commander of the B-29s of the entire Marianas area, declared that if the war is shortened by a single day, the attack will have served its purpose." Precise figures are not available, but the firebombing and atomic bombing campaign against Japan, directed by LeMay between March 1945 and the Japanese surrender in August 1945, may have killed more than one million Japanese civilians. Official estimates from the United States Strategic Bombing Survey put the figures at 330,000 people killed, 476,000 injured, 8.5 million people made homeless and 2.5 million buildings destroyed. Nearly half the built-up areas of sixty-four cities were destroyed. LeMay referred to his night-time incendiary attacks as "fire jobs." The Japanese nicknamed him "Demon LeMay". LeMay was quite aware of the Japanese opinion of him — he once remarked that had the U.S. lost the war, he fully expected to be tried for war crimes. Presidents Roosevelt and Truman justified these extreme tactics by referring to an estimate that one million American troops would be killed if Japan had to be invaded. Additionally, the Japanese had intentionally decentralized 90% of their war-related production into small subcontractor workshops in civilian districts, making remaining Japanese war industry largely immune to conventional precision bombing with high-explosives. The young officer who served under LeMay, Robert McNamara, was in charge of evaluating the effectiveness of American bombing missions. Later McNamara, as Secretary of Defence under Kennedy and Johnson, would often clash with LeMay. LeMay also oversaw Operation Starvation, an aerial mining operation against Japanese waterways and ports which disrupted Japanese shipping and food distribution.

The Unruh effect

When studying for the uniform acceleration presentation, I was reminded of a wierd effect in the intersection between general relativity and quantum field theory, called the Unruh effect. It may blow your mind or simply make you shrug. I thought it prudent to present it anyhow, as it certainly blew my mind. I did not put as much work into this as I would like. But the real justification for this effect is a bit beyond my scope, so you will have to make do with a popular science version akin to how the Hawking's radiation (radiation from black holes) is presented in popular science. See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unruh_effect and http://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Cambridge-Monographs-Mathematical-Physics/dp/0521278589 Errata: I marveled that my simple popular science approach yielded the correct formula and not only a proportionality, but that was a bit premature. As you may recall, there was a 'pi' in my earlier expression of the temperature as a function of acceleration, which did not appear in the semi-classical dimensionality argument. So it wasn't that big of a fluke, after all. Good thing, really.

Catholics Voting Pro-Choice Are Excommunicated Automatically / Pro-Life Anti-Abortion Video PSA

From the "Catechism of the Catholic Church", "2272 Formal cooperation in an abortion constitutes a grave offense. The Church attaches the canonical penalty of excommunication to this crime against human life. "A person who procures a completed abortion incurs excommunication latae sententiae," "by the very commission of the offense," and subject to the conditions provided by Canon Law. The Church does not thereby intend to restrict the scope of mercy. Rather, she makes clear the gravity of the crime committed, the irreparable harm done to the innocent who is put to death, as well as to the parents and the whole of society." If I vote for a pro-abortion candidate (pro-choice), and that candidate supports legislation to legalize abortion, then I have formally co-operated in making it possible for babies to be murdered. If fact, section 2272 above says that a person who does so is automatically excommunicated!! Roman Catholics must vote for a Pro-life President, not Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, since the Church teaches that formal cooperation (voting for pro-abortion candidates) in an abortion is an grave offense.

1999 Nato bombing Grdelica train commemorated

In Serbian. RTS 080412 - http://tinyurl.com/5wk9cz - On April 12, 1999, a Nato attack on a passenger train in Grdelica in southern Serbia killed at least 12 civilians. Nato purposely targeted civilians in this atrocity. Nato failed to suspend their attack even after it was known it was a civilian target. Was the Grdelica bombing a war crime? The Geneva Convention of 1949, Protocol I Additional, the Protection of Victims of International Armed Conflict, which was adopted in 1977 and ratified by 150 countries, except the US, France, and Turkey, governs this case. The Principles of Distinction and Proportionality were violated in the Grdelica bombing. Article 48 of Protocol I requires that a distinction be made between civilian and military targets. Article 51 (4) of Protocol I prohibits 'indiscriminate attacks' that endanger needlessly the lives of civilians. - http://tinyurl.com/55z8yr

Mad Spiffy Mathematic Class

Ever wondered whether BanDai is correct with Mini is 66% the size of tamaGotchis? Well here comes me to prove it at 1:30 AM. I know the simple way is to claculate 66% of the height of a normal tama and see if its the height of the mini, but I know myself and I took the difficult way. First of all I do proportionality, and it seems that something doesn't fit, but then we realise that the Mini doesn't count where the keychain clasps on and... OK; you shall probably not understand me banging on, so simply watch the video. You may hear my Angel going off at the beginning and at the end, I was ignoring it to get an Unchi-Kun... If there is something you definitely don't understand, feel free to comment asking. :P No ruderies. Made by TamaTalk - Spiffy

Old Baby

(Lyrics after the jump.) STARRING Leo Gavitt as Old Baby Mary Rellergert as Girl Thomas Dolan-Gavitt as Taunting Peer Logo and baby design by Mary Rellergert Directed by Thomas Dolan-Gavitt Old Baby Words by Thomas Dolan-Gavitt and Mary Rellergert Music by Thomas Dolan-Gavitt Forty years ago, I was so young and naïve Wanted to help the world, thought it my destiny I tried it all to become something else But no luck with the potions, nor dubious gels. 'Til I stumbled upon a most marvelous brew Of sugar, and water, and BABIES' HAIR, TOO! So it was that I shrank from 6'1'' to 3'3'' And since then you've all looked down on me! (spoken:) Old Baby: Hey baby. Girl: You and me both! Helping the world was just a phase Now it's past, I've changed my ways Cause mutations aren't all I was told they would be My changes did not go as planned So I changed course, 'cause plans be damned! I could've been Spidey, the Thing, Wolverine But I got stuck as a baby! Why, you might ask, should a baby like me Find it so completely necessary To resort to villainy, evil, and greed And seek my employment from you, cruelest steed. I just got fed up with the taunts of my peers; I just couldn't stand their snorts and their jeers. Would they be laughing were it them, not just me? And so, my grand plan: to make the world tiny! Earth wasn't built one size fits all. It's made for folks with statures tall. But I'm changing all that, I am making a scene I'll shorten the world by a head So I can look down on them, instead, And make them regret having acted so mean When I got stuck as a baby. And so I'll bring the world to its knees. I will restore proportionality. I'll finally make them take me seriously. And when I am confronted eye-to-eye With these old friends-turned-enemies, I'll smile. I'll show them I'm not just some little child. And they'll finally see this old baby.

Palestinian Holocaust by Jews: shocking extermination video!

See the Pali-deathcamp chock-full with starving,disease infested and epidemic riddled people show the world thei current situation caused by the Jews. I am in tears whilst writing this (especially seeing the disfigured women by the Nazi-Israelis in this horrific death camp which was chosen as a background setting, filled with corpses, feces and human remains). So yeah, especially the women, her face scarred, her womb torn by the dozens of rapes it had to endure, brutally beaten and disfigured her fetus was cut out of her womb by Isranazis during her pregnancy, and her face is still marked with hematoma from her last Israeli-battering. (Okay I made all that up, but all in the name of good faith with Pallywood and Pali-reporting fitting right in.). ----- SERIOUSLY NOW: The Holocaust was captured by Hollywood and the Media, and all the dozens of nationalities that were annihilated in the tens to hundreds of thousands (Ausschwitz) in the Concentration Camps are seemingly forgotten and left out whilst "Jews" are now synonymous with the Holocaust at the expense of all the other peoples which Hitler didn't see fit for his vision. Naturally no one in Europe is really so stupid to believe that Hitler didn't already have an extermination plan for Arabs in his plot. Moreover the ethnic-Jew was a quite fictious point given that Jews were integrated over 1500 years in Europe blending the gene pool. Many Nazis had ethnic-Jewish roots but which converted along the way, thus no longer being Jewish. So please distinguish the Shoa from the Holocaust whose DEFINITION IS AS FOLLOWS: "the mass slaughter of European civilians and especially Jews by the Nazis during World War II" The Holocaust was primarily an IDEOLOGICALLY DRIVEN extermination of our own people, which makes it so utterly disgusting. Not the least to say that "Jews" (in the religious and ethnic sense) brought a lot to society due to their several times higher proportionality of higher educations. Also the Holocaust was only one of several equally horrific atrocities that happened during that era. http://members.iinet.net.au/~gduncan/massacres.html --- Disgusting: *) Germany's inability to tackle its past. *) Holocaust being synonym to ~5 million Jews annihilated as if WWII was the sole product and intent of cleaning Europe from ethnic Jews: which is an as twisted history report as Hitler's twisted non-comprehension of social Darwinism.
