The amazing history of Pi.
Beautifully designs from Circle.
Beautifully designs of Spirograph are the gifts that I want to send to Pi on Pi’s Day. They are created from circles, with geometric drawing tools - Spirograph.

” The title which I most covet is that of teacher. The writing of a research paper and the teaching of freshman calculus, and everything in between, falls under this rubric. Happy is the person who comes to understand something and then gets to explain it. “ - Marshall Cohen.
A happy calssroom - illustrated by Lowell Hess - From: The Giant Golden Book of Mathematics Library Binding – June, 1968 by Irving Adler.
Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty- a beauty cold and austere, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music.

These Geometric Tarts Turn Patisserie Into Architecture.
Pastry chef Dinara Kasko uses sheets of chocolate to create stunning edible treats. See more at Dinara Kasko | José Margulis.
Ultra-thin sheets of chocolate are transformed into topographic works of art that taste just as good as they look. The project is a result of a collaboration between architect-turned-pastry chef Dinara Kasko and Miami-based artist José Margulis.
Margulis, who works with geometric abstractionism and kinetic art, created the initial patterns of what would eventually become edible sheets of chocolate using colorful 3D plastic sheets. Margulis focused on curved shapes with various volumetric geometries, transparencies and intense colors to create a rich, layered effect.
“Margulis’s utmost concern is the creation of geometric shapes conceived mostly by changing the perspective of the viewer accompanied by the philosophical notion that everything in life has diverse levels of narrative and spatial perceptions,” wrote Kasko in a blog post.
The chef then took Margulis’s initial designs and transformed them into edible treats using various cutting machines and tools to create 3D chocolate layers. These layers were then placed on top of four different flavored tart cakes, including blackberry-blueberry and cherry confit almond sponge cakes.
“I was transforming the object of art into something edible that would later perish, while emphasizing the ephemeral art, its fleetingness in our life,” said Kasko. “The appearance and, of course, the taste should leave a lasting impression and expand observer’s boundaries of what ‘cake’ can be. I like to surprise people.”

Ticks in amber that fed on dino blood
The 99 million year old fossilised tree sap from Burma has brought us several significant finds of late including a baby bird (see http://bit.ly/2C8DsW1) and some early avian wings (see http://bit.ly/2hpvCQK). Now some preserved remnants from a feathered dinosaur nest has revealed several parasitic ticks (a type of arachnid, related so spiders and scorpions) alongside a dinosaur feather (one clinging to it for dear life) and nest dwelling beetles, and several other fossilised ticks have appeared in material from the same location. The feather clinger was seemingly filled with dinosaur blood and swollen to 8 times its normal size after its final and fatal feast (named by the team Deinocroton draculi aka Dracula’s terrible tick). For those fans of Jurassic Park amongst our readers, I’ll just remind you of the unfortunate scientific fact that DNA simply does not survive that long except in the tiniest and hard to read dribs and drabs (at the very best, and even these prove highly contentious).
