Three kings will see a great star in the bright blue sky, Seven men will follow it and lead them far; Nine days it shall guide them to the greatest King, One whose kingdom shall have no end. In the land of Judah, He shall lie, One King to rule the world, one who'll redeem men; One King to save the world, and from their sins release them, In the land of Judah, He shall lie. THE LORD OF THE KINGS THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE KING PART III <  Go to Part II  FELLOWSHIP DEPARTS FROM RIVENDELL The members of the Fellowship are seen leaving Rivendell, bidding farewell to Elrond. As all of them depart, the camera focuses on one man hiding behind a bush, who, after witnessing everything, departs from the scene. FELLOWSHIP TRAVELING TOGETHER Shots in a plain field. On top of a mountain with each one appearing one after the other, just like in the movie. Shots of dusk against Taal lake. Shots in a fog, with the fellowship cutting through it o...

I lost a turn driving to the airport today and ended up in a department store called SM.  Driving from the airport, I lost a turn again and I ended up in SM once more. Suddenly, I thought that I was in a  möbius strip. Or, you could say, I had a möbius trip. A möbius strip is a surface with only one side and one edge.  You can make a mobius strip by getting a strip of paper, giving it a half twist (180 degrees), then joining the ends together. Möbius Strip by David Benbennick The möbius strip has many curious properties. In an ordinary cylindrical strip (ends joined together without a twist),  if you start from the seam then draw a line around the strip, you end up in the same starting point, in the same surface. In a möbius strip, drawing a line from the seam, then around the strip, will bring you to the "other side" of the strip. The möbius strip is studied in the field of mathematics called topology. An ant walking along a mobius strip can cover "both ...

My message to all Thank you very much to all of you for being part of my life. My life has definitely been much richer because of all of you. I mean, life without challenges would definitely be a bore. :-p My reply to all greetings in FB Since there are so many greetings, I decided to write a code to save me time.

I’ll be celebrating my birthday in a few days time. I’ll be 17 again! Yes, I have discovered the Fountain of Youth! The  Fountain of Youth that has evaded many explorers and philosophers for ages! The thing is, they were looking for it at the wrong places! The Fountain of Youth is to be found in Math, in Number Theory, in the Base Number System! I was 17 turning  18 when I found out I could remain 17 forever by simply changing the base number system when calculating my age! The day I turned 18 (Base 10), I decided to say goodbye to the Decimal System (at least in computing for my age) and adopted the Undecimal Number System (Base 11) so that I’ll be 17 again. The following year, I adopted the Duodecimal Number System (Base 12), and thus, I was 17 again!  As  I approach another birthday, I’ll be 17 yet again. But please, don’t ask me which Base Number System I will be using then . We are most familiar with the Decimal Base Number System.  In grade s...
