Including Baby Set- Parts Included - High Back, Rail & Extended Glider
The chair that grows with the child:
Children love interacting with the family. In today's hectic lifestyle it is more important than ever to encourage these special moments of togetherness. The dining table is more than a place for mealtimes. It's for playing, homework or simply just talking, enjoying quality time together. A child sitting at the same height as an adult at a table stimulates the development of confidence. The chair adapts to the size of your child - and the child always sits at the right height at the table with their feet supported at the same time. This ensures a perfect fit for children of all sizes allowing them to sit correctly and comfortably. Even though Tripp Trapp is ergonomically designed providing stability, comfort and confidence.
When can a baby start sitting in a chair
Children play best on the floor where there is room for them to develop freely and naturally, children can start using the Tripp Trapp with the Tripp Trapp baby set when they are able to sit up without help or support - usually around the ages of 6-9 mths.
Features, functions & benefits
The Tripp Trapp Baby Set is comprised of the Seating rail, Crotch strap, and Baby back plate. The Stokke Tripp Trapp baby set is for use when your baby is able to sit up without help or support - usually around the ages of 6-9 mths.
The Baby back plate hooks onto the original Tripp Trapp, which supports and moves your child forward in their seat. Bringing your child closer to the optimized Seating rail and Crotch strap, the Baby back plate offers increased support and stability, as well as allowing your child to sit closer to you at the table.
The Tripp Trapp Baby Set provides optimal sitting safety during your child's first months and years, and continues until the time when your child is able to climb in and out of their chair independently.
The Tripp Trapp Baby Set provides you and your child with a number of features, functions, and benefits.
Seating rail. The seating rail provides additional security for your child whilst seated. Reduces the risk of your child climbing out of the Tripp Trapp highchair.
Crotch strap. Prevents your child from sliding between the Seating rail and Tripp Trapp seat plate. Reduces the risk of your child sliding out of the Tripp Trapp.
Baby back plate. Provides increased support and stability. Brings your child forward in the seat and closer to you at the table.
Interlocking easy to attach parts. Allows easy assembly and attachment of the Baby set to the Tripp Trapp highchair. Provides easy assembly and adjustment of the Baby set.
Easy to clean. Produced from easy to clean materials including reinforced and robust polypropylene plastic. Allows you to easily wipe, clean and maintain the Tripp Trapp Baby set. The Baby back plate is also dishwasher safe.
To further increase the backward stability of the Tripp Trapp® highchair, a replaceable, extended rear glider (Extended Glider) has been developed for the Tripp Trapp® highchair. We recommend that you always use the Tripp Trapp® Extended Glider while the chair is being used with a harness or the Tripp Trapp® Baby Set.

The grandson of one of Custer's Native-American scouts tells the stories handed down to him about the battle that has become a touchstone of American history.
The battle of the Little Big Horn--"Custer's Last Stand,"--has been examined and re-examined so many times that it would seem the subject has been exhausted. But LITTLE BIG HORN: THE UNTOLD STORY proves otherwise.
The product of over twenty years of research by Dr. Herman J. Viola, Curator Emeritus at the Smithsonian Institution, this study draws on some of the most impressive source material imaginable, including restored footage of the first-ever reconstruction of the battle, filmed in 1908 with many of the Native Americans who took place in the real fight. The Red Horse drawings--40 vivid color portraits made by an eyewitness--offer another privileged view of the famous battle. But perhaps most intriguing are the on-camera accounts of Dr. Medicine Crow, who as a young man knew five of the six Crow scouts in Custer's employ, as well as Sioux and Cheyenne veterans of the fight.
Through these authoritative accounts, kept silent and unseen for decades, a remarkably cohesive, new view of the legendary battle emerges. This is a must-have DVD for anyone who wants to know what really happened at the Little Big Horn.

Editor's note: Nicholas Spiro is managing director of London-based Spiro Sovereign Strategy, a niche consultancy specializing in sovereign credit risk. Spiro advises private and institutional clients on qualitative aspects of sovereign risk, with a particular focus on Europe.
(CNN) -- He's back. Having kept a relatively low profile since being forced to step down as Italy's premier last year, Silvio Berlusconi, the bad boy of Italian politics, has decided to run for the fourth time as the centre-right's prime ministerial candidate in a keenly awaited parliamentary election likely to take place in February.
Italy needs a Berlusconi comeback like it needs a hole in the head. The scandal-plagued Berlusconi, who was recently sentenced to four years in prison for tax fraud but has a knack of successfully appealing against his convictions, epitomizes the dysfunctional nature of Italian politics, with its discredited leaders and unstable governments.
Read more: Is the eurozone crisis almost over?
Over the past year or so, Mario Monti, Italy's respected technocratic prime minister, has drawn attention away from these failings by restoring credibility to Italian policymaking. The problem was that Monti, who took over from Berlusconi in November 2011 in the face of a bond market crisis, was always dependent on the parliamentary support of Berlusconi's People of Liberty (PdL) party to govern.
He now no longer has the PdL's backing and says he'll resign as soon as next year's budget is passed. So what next for Italy, and is a "Berlusconi sell-off" in the bond market in the offing?
To be sure, Berlusconi's comeback is not entirely unexpected and is more about the implosion of, and dramatic loss of support for, the PdL (not to mention its dependence on Berlusconi for most of its funding) than anything else.
Read more: The eurozone's reluctant leader
The real question, therefore, is whether investors have become too complacent about Italy in their expectation that policy continuity under the next government - which may yet include Monti - is more or less assured. I suspect they have to a degree and are now staring at the uncertain prospect of a post-Monti political landscape in Italy.
Fortunately for Italy, the bond-buying programme of the European Central Bank (ECB) is providing a powerful counterweight to concerns about Italian politics. If Berlusconi's party had withdrawn its support for Monti's government before ECB president Mario Draghi promised in late July to "do whatever it takes" to save the eurozone, Italian yields would have already risen sharply.
This is not to say that investors won't start to reprice Italian credit risk in the coming days and weeks. Rather, it suggests that the scope for a sharp and disorderly sell-off akin to the one Italy suffered in November 2011 is quite limited.
Still, Monti's decision to stand down as premier once parliament approves the 2013 budget provides the first big test for Italy's bond market since the ECB-driven rally in Italian debt began in late July. Having shone mostly on Spain over the past few months, the spotlight of the markets is now shifting to Italy.
The most important priority for Italian policymakers is to maintain confidence in the country's huge stock of government debt, the largest in the eurozone in absolute terms and the second-largest as a share of GDP after Greece. This is why Italy's upcoming government bond auctions will be scrutinized for any sign that investors are losing confidence in Italian debt - particularly since foreign buyers of Italian debt are already few and far between.
Perhaps the most salient point about the latest developments in Italy is that investors should start paying more attention to idiosyncratic, or country-specific, risks. Just because the ECB is prepared to intervene forcefully in Italian and Spanish bond markets does not mean that the underlying problems of the eurozone's third and fourth-largest economies respectively are being addressed.
Indeed, quite the opposite. Italy remains mired in recession and now faces weeks of political uncertainty at a time when it can least afford it.
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Nicholas Spiro.

Sakuraba + Jon Jones
Sakuraba + Jon Jones
Interesting that Jones didn't come up till the third page.
I'd actually put Genki Sudo with Jones' physical gifts. You'd have an incredible grappler and unorthodox striker with the physicality to take things to a higher plane. Moreover, you'd have the charisma and personality that Jones utterly lacks that would make him a legitimate crossover star instead of a shadow who simply imitates the people around him and does nothing unique or original.
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.

I'm surprised nobody has used Cain as one of their hybrid fighters. The guy is an awesome specimen of powerhouse wrestling, speed, cardio. He possess KO power, solid leg kicks, and moves very efficiently for a HW. Combine him with the solid technique of say Jose Aldo, you got one unstoppable fighter, that can evade opponents punches and takedowns, dish out brutal leg kicks, efficient movement for long lasting cardio to go 10 rounds.

Did you ever get this figured out? Mine shuts down sometimes too!!! It drives me bonkers!! I know that I don't have too many fonts ~ maybe styles or actions, though!!! lol
Thanks to all who recommended the defrag, I definitely do not do that enough....I will start.
Great questions and great answers.... I love this place, as I learn soooo, sooo much!
definitely save and save often is a good policy no matter what
These are all great ideas so thanks to everyone who has thrown in their experience and suggestions!!!
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once.
It's interesting, I am the one who started this thread and asked the initial question, and with all the answers, I am still pretty lost. But I at least have some things to consider.
We did defrag, but my program still freezes and quits. Just did it a few secs ago. Grrrr. I save over and over again, but sometimes in the middle of trying something, I don't, cuz I am simply not done. It's very frustrating. I am thinking I will uninstall then reinstall, as when I first started using this program, I didn't have this problem. Hmmmm, will the things I've added on - brushes, etc, need to be added on again?
I think I have something here that's too big for my computer-unsavvy brain!
Decided not to reinstall at this point. HOWEVER - I accidentally stumbled on something yesterday. I don't store any photos in PSE, BUT I found a whole bunch of stuff stored in there! I just got a new camera, and am deciding how I want to handle my photos this time around, and discovered folders full of things I've edited along the way. I mean, TONS of stuff! So I deleted the whole mess (yes, these items are stored elsewhere, no worries!). So maybe that will help, I dunno. I haven't had time to really get serious doing something, but did a tiny bit of editing to see if it would freeze up on me. It didn't - but need to put it to a better test. Maybe I will find time today for that. I will let you know.
Would be nice if that's the problem, wouldn't it?

My daughter and her friends go to the tanning salon. Is this safer than being out in the sun?
Gloria DiLullo, MSN, CRNP, OncoLink Content Specialist, responds:
Tanning salons are not a safe alternative to the harmful rays of the sun. Studies have found that tanning salons are very harmful and lead to an increased risk of developing melanoma and other skin cancers. Those who go to tanning salons are 75% more likely to develop melanoma than those who do not.
Melanomas are becoming more common in women and at a younger age. Many studies show this increase in melanoma to be linked to tanning bed use.
Contrary to some tanning bed industry claims, the UVB emitted by tanning bed light sources is of a sufficient level to cause melanoma, and the high level of UVA emitted by the light sources is known to induce DNA damage by producing free radicals that contribute to cancer formation. In addition to cancer, UVA and UVB rays can cause long-term skin damage, such as premature aging, wrinkles, and dark patches (lentigos, sometimes called age spots or liver spots).

This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat Series. View the entire Cancer Risk & Prevention Webchat transcript.
Dec 22, 2014 - Very-light-skinned children who tan develop more nevi than their counterparts who do not, which may indicate increased risk of developing melanoma when they are older, according to a study published in the September issue of the Archives of Dermatology, while another study in the same issue recommends more states implement controls on youth access to tanning facilities.

Before & After: The NYDJ Office
Inside one denim company's bold office transformation
By Olivia Rassow
Before: The Reception Desk
The NYDJ New York City office was in need of an upgrade, and designer Nicole Gibbons took on the project to be completed in a little over two months. "Their office has great city views and a lot of natural light," says Gibbons, "but the lobby was filled with heavy brown furniture and many of the pieces were the wrong scale."
Before the makeover, the dark desk and tiny pendant lights failed to create a welcoming vibe.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar grew up in New York always wanting to play for the Knicks.
The NBA Hall of Famer and six-time MVP thinks the same could be said about current Knicks star Carmelo Anthony, who has a player option for $23.5 million next season.
That's a reason why Abdul-Jabbar believes Anthony will ultimately remain with the team.

Phil Jackson is the Knicks' president now, but he couldn't help himself from taking a little shot at the San Antonio Spurs, one of his chief rivals when he coached the Lakers.

Carmelo Anthony plans to continue playing through the discomfort in his right shoulder as long as the Knicks have a chance to make the playoffs.
That, of course, could end Friday night.

Orange construction cones everywhere, dust flying in the air, and the sound of power tools buzzing off. These are all the current sights and sounds in the Buckeye Neighborhood on Shaker Boulevard between Woodhill Road and East 116th Street. The Buckeye Neighborhood is undergoing a transformation and if you haven't been to the east area lately, you may be surprised to see some of the projects underway.
The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA) is finishing construction of a new innovative $3.5 million station located at the intersection of Woodhill Road, Shaker Boulevard, and Buckeye Road. The Buckeye/Woodhill Station features two open glass canopies leading down to the tracks, new ramps, and new signage. Public art at the station includes a "manka-phone," a 20 foot stainless steel sculpture of a microphone representing the jazz history of the Buckeye Neighborhood. Ceramic tile designed by Richard Fleischman called "Ribbons of Hope" are also featured. The RTA Station is set to open soon with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in late October.
RTA and the Buckeye Area Development Corporation (BADC) are also collaborating to create a Buckeye/Woodhill Station Area Plan. The plan focuses on developing the area surrounding the RTA station and includes housing development, park developments, landscaping, roadway, and bike and pedestrian enhancements.
In addition to this plan, BADC is collaborating with Morning Star Baptist Church to demolish two blighted car washes at the corner of Buckeye Road and Shaker Boulevard, adjacent to the RTA station. The corner will be beautified with a neighborhood sign, shrubs, and perennial flowers. The newly beautified corner will act as a gateway into the community for people coming from the new RTA Station.
Plans are also underway to update the existing East 116th Street RTA Station as well. In 2010, RTA, BADC and Neighborhood Progress worked to design a new station with sustainability and pedestrians in mind. Art work created at the Harvey Rice Learning Center will be incorporated as well. Construction is set to start in 2013.
If you travel further down Shaker Boulevard you will run into Saint Luke's Hospital and the Harvey Rice School and Library. Saint Luke's Hospital is breathing new life. With the renovation of two wings, Saint Luke's holds over 130 units of affordable, senior housing. The third wing is set to be completed in 2013 and will be home to the award-winning and nationally-recognized Breakthrough Schools' Intergenerational School and the Boys and Girls Club of Cleveland. The Saint Luke's project has been a catalyst in redeveloping this area of the Buckeye Neighborhood.
Adjacent to Saint Luke's, the Harvey Rice Learning Campus is home to the Harvey Rice School and Rice Branch Library. The campus showcases the work of local artists and also provides space for GED instruction as well as tutoring five days a week. The Rice Branch Library achieved Silver Certification in Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) by the U.S. Green Building Council. This is the only free standing library in Ohio to earn that designation.

New Catholic Dictionary – Saint Catherine of Alexandria
(305) Virgin, martyr, died Alexandria, Egypt. Of royal blood and great learning, she appeared at the age of 18 before the Emperor Maximinus, and endeavored to dissuade him from worship of false gods; her eloquence converted so many that she was condemned to die on the wheel but, at her touch, the instrument was miraculously destroyed. She was beheaded and an angel carried her body to Mount Sinai where a church and monastery were dedicated to her. Her cult was very popular in the Middle Ages and she is numbered among the Fourteen Holy Helpers. Patroness of philosophers, the arts, wheelwrights, wagonmakers, teachers, students, and jurists. Emblems: a wheel, lamb, and sword. Her name occurs in the Ambrosian Canon of the Mass. Relics in monastery at the foot of Mount Sinai. Feast, Roman Calendar, 25 November.

Perfect Everyday Ride Pack
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
A customer wrote in with this review:
This pack is the perfect size for your normal everyday 2-3 hour ride. It carries a multi-tool, tire levers, a tube, and a pump (fits my Lezyne Mini Floor Pump). I can also stuff a few granola bars and my G-Form knee pads in there. All of this fits with a full 2L of water. There's also a sunglasses pocket that can carry an extra pair of glasses, a lens wipe, and your phone. It carries well and feels like nothing on your back when ripping down your favorite singletrack.I've definitely crashed a few times through some pretty rugged terrain and this pack has faired much better than my body. I still can't find any visible damage. Quite durable material.For all day rides when I want more water, first aid, a full lunch and weather protection, or when I'm carrying real armor and/or a full face, I use the Dakine Nomad pack.I'd give this product 5 stars, except the hydration nozzle on all Dakine packs suck. They snap off too easily, and while they can be put back on relatively easily, they tend to drip afterwards. You won't really lose any water, but your thigh might be little wet by the end of the ride. I haven't figured out how to put it back on in a way where it won't leak like this.
Great mtb pack
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
great pack for mountain biking, water valve is solid and easy to access. Plenty of space for pump tools, extra tire and some snacks. No complaints from me.

Love this photo of this gorgeous birthday party in the Hamptons. At first, when I saw this event, I was convinced it was so elaborate and elegant that it had to be a romantic wedding dinner....a beautiful wedding reception right on a dock. The dinner table sits on the water...literally. I thought...what a fabulous way to dine after getting married...on a dock, overlooking the water, with dozens of your family and friends right there to enjoy the scene with you!
Turns out it is not the wedding but a big huge birthday party dinner on a private island in the Hamptons! Wow...that kind of makes it even more amazing. Someone had this as their birthday party? My birthdays are usually spent with two maybe three friends or my mom and sister and usually there is a cupcake involved (I should explain that my birthday falls in early January when everyone is completely exhausted after the holiday season and I've become accustom to the uber low key celebrations that really lack any creativity (and any people); but I will say these birthday non-celebration celebrations are very warm and heartfelt(I think)...and I do appreciate the one-two cupcakes that are usually involved. lol!).
Anyhoooooo....had to share this photo...the scene, the table settings and the overall mood and ambiance of the decor are all so chic, romantic and festive - a great combination to have for a birthday or even wedding reception dinner!
The following paragraph is not a non sequitur or my usual A.D.D....it does tie into the photo.
So...having dinner this weekend with my dear friend and former neighbor Yifat Oren and her sweet husband Jonathan Cutler. I'll get to meet their cute kidlets for the first time too. I'm so thrilled to catch up with Yifat and Jonny after so many years! I can't wait!
So, back to the photo...Yifat is one of the premier event and wedding planners in the country and SHE designed/planned this extravagant elegant birthday evening dinner party! Yifat and her team took a normal dock and made it into a stunning outdoor dining room for their client's birthday! Yifat is an aficionado of design, decor, weddings, events and all things beautiful...she arranges, dreams up and plans the most posh parties. Hmmm...note to self...have a birthday party and/or wedding and have Yifat do her magic!
Might I reiterate...this dinner party scene is just GORGEOUS!
Off to see Yifat and Jonny!!!
Hope you all have fun plans and have a great weekend!

Unique Georgian Enamel Child Portrait Pendant
Dating back to the 4th century BCE, enameling is the decorative art of fusing powdered or pulverized glass to metal and heating layer after layer of glass one atop another until the desired effect is achieved. Colors are achieved by using this powdered glass or by mixing colorless glass powder with pigments such as metal oxide. As the glass melts minute areas of color are formed. The process requires combining the sheer artistry which painting commands with high technical skills and then some. Given its small scale, and that each layer must melt and be layered, it is the true master who can achieve fine enamel work.
Petite overall, this Georgian enamel pendant locket is of the highest quality. It depicts the frontal representation of the face of a rosy cheeked child. Waves and curls of dark blond hair frame the cherubic image and add a delicacy which tempers the spirited and animated blue-eyed gaze.
The portrait is set into a 9k rose gold pendant with locket back of rock crystal with a yellow gold ribbed rim. The rose gold bale is embellished with three (3) small rose cut diamonds. To balance the symmetry, a small silver Maltese cross form set with five (5) old mine cut diamonds is suspended from a fitting set with a natural half seed pearl. Most likely a one of a kind locket pendant – you will never see another!
Date: Circa 1800.
Measurements: 1-1/4 inches (3.2 cm) in length including bale by 1/2 of an inch (1.2 cm) in width. Weight of 2.7 grams (1.7 dwt).
Condition: Enamel is excellent, colors are vibrant, surface is excellent; top ring may have been replaced; bottom drop has been reattached with a tiny gold plate to back.

Sergio Perez concedes it will be "very important" for Force India to get a handle on the new regulations as quickly as possible.
Ahead of this season Formula One has undergo a major overhaul in the engine regulations with the 2.4-litre V8s replaced by 1.6-litre turbocharged V6s.
Teams will also be limited to just 100kgs of fuel per race compared to last year's 160kgs while each driver has just five engines before they incur penalties.
Many expect the new regulations will spice up the Championship at the start of the season with Perez admitting it is important for his new Force India team to make a good start.
"I am confident we will be ready and I am really looking forward to the big challenge that lies ahead of us," he told Force India's official website.
"It's going to be a very busy time, some weeks in which we will need to get everything in place.
"It will be very important for us as a team to get on top of the new regulations as quickly as possible. It's a crucial opportunity to steal a march on our rivals, especially at the beginning of the season."
The Mexican racer, who is a long-shot with Paddy Power to win the title, will have his first taste of the VJM07 next week when pre-season testing gets underway at Jerez.
"I genuinely can't wait to drive the car. The expectations are high and everyone is working really hard for it.
"It's nice to work with my new team and now it is the moment to speed it up and do more together: this way, by the time we get to Australia everything will be second-nature."

A very nutty cracker
One of the standard Christmas traditions for many people is to see Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker". While the music, dancing, and sets are beautiful, seeing the same show year after year it can get a little…boring.
The antidote to this is British choreographer Matthew Bourne's "Nutcracker".
Famous for his controversial all-male version of "Swan Lake", Bourne has made a name for himself in modern dance. In this campy take on the classic story, Clara is an orphan and the Nutcracker is a creepy-looking Howdy Doody doll, until he becomes a shirtless hunk. The sets are cartoony and the costumes are more than eccentric. Watching the taped version on Ovation as a part of their "Battle Of The Nutcrackers" program, you are able to get close-ups of the dancer's expressive faces, which helps to tell the story.
All these elements make for a much more dramatic, and if you ask me, entertaining show than your typical ballet. I hope one day I can see it live, but that would mean a trip across the pond. In the meantime, you can catch it on the telly.

Starfish happy with first round showing
PORTLAND – Overjoyed by the amount of time her swimmers cut from their seeding, South Adams coach Janelle Gresla was able to overlook the fact that her team didn't secure enough championship heat swims to contend with Bellmont or Muncie Central as the Jay County boys' swimming and diving sectional got underway Thursday night with the preliminary round.
The Starfish qualified all three of its relay teams for championship races, and put individual swimmers in the finals of three events. Adams Central managed just one championship qualification in the tough field.
"We had like 22 or 23 PBs (personal bests) tonight, and even our bad swims weren't ...

Here's a little game to play. Take the interval from 0 to 1, including the end points. Now delete the middle third of this interval, from 1/3 to 2/3, but without deleting the two end points 1/3 and 2/3. Then delete the middle thirds of the two intervals that are left, [0,1/3] and [2/3,1], again without deleting the end points. Keep going, deleting middle thirds ad infinitum — well, you can't really do this in practice, but you can imagine it. What will you be left with in the end?
Seven steps towards C.
Let's call the set of left-over points C. Clearly, C contains the end points of middle third intervals because these don't get removed: 0, 1, 1/3, 2/3, 1,9, 2/9, 7/9, 8/9, and so on. But other points are left too. For example, 1/4 does not get removed at the first step because it's less than 1/3, it does not get removed at the second step either because it's bigger than 2/9, and so on.
Does C contain any intervals at all? It's pretty easy to convince yourself that it doesn't: any line segment, no matter how tiny, will have been broken up by having its middle third removed. C is what's called totally disconnected because all its connected components are just points.
But these points are not isolated. If you draw a little circle around any point x in C, then no matter how small the circle, it will contain other points of C. For example, take the point 0. Arbitrarily close to it there is a point of the form 1/3k for some k, which is in C because it's the end point of a middle third interval. The fact that every point has other points arbitrarily close to it makes C into a perfect set.
All this means that C inhabits a strange world between dimensions. It's more than a collection of isolated points, which has dimension 0, and less than a line, which has dimension 1. If you calculate its Hausdorff dimension, which is an extension of our usual concept of dimension, the answer is ln(2)/ln(3)=0.63, which is between 0 and 1 as expected.
The Menger sponge. Image: Niabot.
The set C is also self-similar. For example, if you take the part of C contained in some tiny interval [0,1/3k] and blow it up, what you get looks exactly the same as C itself. Being self-similar and having a dimension that's not a whole number makes C into a fractal.
C has a name too: it's called the middle-thirds Cantor set, after Georg Cantor, who wrote about it in 1883, although it had previously been discovered by Henry John Stephen Smith. Cantor was one of the first people to give a rigorous description of a fractal, though the term "fractal" was not coined until almost 100 years later by Benoit Mandelbrot.
Cantor sets often turn up in mathematics when things are being broken up according to the same recipe ad infinitum. For example, you can create a similar construct in two dimensions by dividing a square up into nine smaller squares and repeatedly removing the middle one. The result is called the Sierpinski carpet, which has a Hausdorff dimension of ln(8)/ln(3)=1.892. The three-dimensional analogue is the Menger sponge.

Will he rocket to the lead? (Most excellent tortoise suit by Katie Bradley.)
Achilles and a tortoise are competing in a 100m sprint. Confident in his victory, Archilles lets the tortoise start 10m ahead of him. The race starts, Achilles zooms off and the tortoise starts bumbling along. When Achilles has reached the point A from where the tortoise started, it has crawled along by a small distance to point B. In a flash Achilles reaches B, but the tortoise is already at point C. When he reaches C, the tortoise is at D. When he's at D, the tortoise is at E. And so on. He's never going to catch up with the tortoise, so he has no chance of winning the race.
Something's wrong here, but what? Let's assume that Achilles is ten times faster than the tortoise and that both are moving at constant speed. In the times it takes Achilles to travel the first 10m to point A, the tortoise, being ten times slower, has only moved by 1m to point B. By the time Achilles has travelled 1m to point B, the tortoise has crawled along by 0.1m to point C. And so on. After n such steps the tortoise has travelled
This problem is known as one of Zeno's paradoxes after the ancient Greek philosopher Zeno, who used paradoxes like this one to argue that motion is just an illusion.

Here's a strange fact: if you look up some numbers, for example the numbers in your tax return, population sizes of Chinese provinces, or the length of the world's rivers, then most likely around 30% of these numbers start with the digit 1, around 18% start with the digit 2, 12.5% start with a 3, and so on, all the way to 9 (which only heads up around 5% of the numbers) - the larger the digit, the fewer numbers in your list start with it. This fact, known as Benford's law, applies to so many different kinds of data sets that it's often used to detect fraud. But why does it work?
Well, if the processes that give rise to your list of numbers do produce a universal distribution of first digits, then this distribution should apply no matter what units you use. It should work no matter if you do your tax return in pounds or in euros, or measure your rivers in metres or miles - it's universal after all. This means that the distribution of first digits remains the same when you multiply your numbers by whatever constant you need to change between units. And it turns out that the only distribution with this property of scale invariance is precisely the Benford distribution.
As an example, imagine that your first digits are distributed equally (roughly the same proportion of numbers begin with the digit 1, 2, 3...) – so NOT according to the Benford distribution. Is this distribution scale invariant? Let's see what happens when we multiply by 2. All numbers starting with 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, when multiplied by 2, give a number starting with 1. By contrast, the only way to end up with a number beginning with, say, 3, is to start out with a number starting with 1. In other words, the resulting distribution of first digits, after multiplying by 2, is skewed towards 1. It's not uniform, so your original distribution is not scale invariant. It's not too hard to show that in order to be scale invariant, the first digits have to be distributed in the way stipulated by the Benford distribution. It's worth noting though that Benford's law only applies to data sets that are neither too random, nor too constrained: alas, it doesn't work for lottery numbers.

Oooo.... We're getting excited! It's nearly time for our Plus Advent Calendar! The first door won't open until Sunday 1 December, but here's a sneek peek!
November 22, 2013
As intelligent life forms in many universes join together to mark the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, we thought we'd add our own little anniversary acknowledgement by revisiting the Plus posters' moment of fame!
We were delighted when the BBC approached us back in 2005 to ask if some of the Plus posters we had created for schools could be used as set dressing in an episode of Doctor Who with a storyline revolving around maths classrooms. And accordingly, in April 2006, the Plus posters made their TV debut in the Doctor Who episode School Reunion, alongside tenth Doctor David Tennant. The Doctor has infiltrated a school under cover as a science teacher, and discovers an alien plot to use the enhanced intelligence of the school students to solve the Skasis Paradigm, the key to the fundamental secrets of the universe. Solving the Paradigm requires imagination as well as intelligence - and when you're looking for maths students who are both imaginative and intelligent, of course they'll be reading Plus...
See those colourful posters in the background? That's them! Image © BBC
The posters which featured in the episode were launched in 2004, funded by EPSRC, in order to showcase the wide range of careers open to people with a background in maths. As Plus readers know know, the huge range of subjects featured in our articles and career interviews is proof of the amazing range of possibilities open to mathematicians : from avalanche researcher to audio software engineer, almost every field you can think of is represented on the Careers with Maths posters. The posters were intended to spread this message and to be a resource for teachers and career advisors dealing with mathematically-minded students.
All the Plus posters
We are extremely proud of the appearance of the Plus posters on Doctor Who, and very grateful to Charles Trevelyan, Plus's graphic designer. The posters were hugely successful: at one point we were receiving over 1000 requests for them a day! Although the posters are long out of print and no longer being distributed you can still download and print out a copy for yourself. With The Doctor's help, maths fame has now spread throughout the TV-viewing world and beyond, reaching intelligent civilisations of all ages and dimensions. But then, if they're intelligent they probably already got the message. Enjoy the 50th anniversary episode tomorrow night, whichever time and relative dimension in space you find yourself!

In the eighteenth century the city we now know as Kaliningrad was called Königsberg and it was part of Prussia. Like many other great cities Königsberg was divided by a river, called the Pregel. It contained two islands and there were seven bridges linking the various land masses. A famous puzzle at the time was to find a walk through the city that crossed every bridge exactly once. Many people claimed they had found such a walk but when asked to reproduce it no one was able to. In 1735 the mathematician Leonhard Euler explained why: he showed that such a walk didn't exist.
Euler's solution is surprisingly simple — once you look at the problem in the right way. The trick is to get rid of all unnecessary information. It doesn't matter what path the walk takes on the various land masses. It doesn't matter what shape the land masses are, or what shape the river is, or what shape the bridges are. So you might as well represent each land mass by a dot and a bridge by a line. You don't have to be geographically accurate at all: as long as you don't disturb the connectivity of the dots, which is connected to which, you can distort your picture in any way you like without changing the problem.
Transforming the problem. Image: Bogdan Giuşcă.
Once you have represented the problem in this way, its features are much easier to see. After playing around with it for a while you might notice the following: when you arrive at a dot via a line (enter a land mass via the bridge), then unless it is the final dot at which your walk ends, you need to leave it again, by a different line as those are the rules of the game. That is, any dot that is not the starting and end-point of your walk needs to have an even number of lines coming out of it: for every line along which you enter there has to be one to leave.
For a walk that crosses every line exactly once to be possible, at most two dots can have an odd number of lines coming out of them. In fact there have to be either two odd dots or none at all. In the former case the two correspond to the starting and end points of the walk and in the latter, the starting and end points are the same. In the Königsberg problem, however, all dots have an odd number of lines coming out of them, so a walk that crosses every bridge is impossible.
Euler's result marked the beginning of graph theory, the study of networks made of dots connected by lines. He was also able to show that if a graph satisfies the condition above, that the number of dots with an odd number of lines is either zero or two, then there will always be a path through it that crosses every line exactly once.
The result also marked the beginning of topology, which studies shapes only in terms of their connectivity, without taking note of distances and angles. The London tube map is a great example of the topological triumph. By distorting distances and angles it turns what would otherwise be an unintelligible mess into a map that every tourist can read effortlessly. You can find out more here.

In a report by MPI's Labor Markets Initiative, noted economist and Georgetown University Public Policy Institute Professor Harry J. Holzer examines the economic reasoning and research on these questions and looks at the policy options that shape the impact of less-skilled immigration on the economy.
