Shorpy - the 100 year old photo blog

"A photo blog about what life a hundred years ago was like: How people looked and what they did for a living, back when not having a job usually meant not eating. We’re starting with a collection of photographs taken in the early 1900s by Lewis Wickes Hine as part of a decade-long field survey for the National Child Labor Committee. One of his subjects, a young coal miner named Shorpy Higginbotham, is the site’s namesake."

The Reigning King of Mathematical Comedy Defends his Crown

Simon Pampena, Moosehead nominee and star of last year’s hit The Mathematical Revolution, is back again to take maths kicking and screaming into the 21^st Century. Maths is a grueling sport and nobody knows this better than Simon who, having freshly returned from filming mathematical adventures with ABC TVs Catalyst, is ready to fire-up audiences with his heart-racing, high-jumping, fist-pumping new training program

Little Mathletics.

Australia beaten by Kazakhstan, Moldova and New Zealand

The greatest sporting country - Australia, is falling off the pace when it comes to maths. Look at our shameful performance at last year’s International Mathematical Olympiad. We had our butts whipped by the likes of New Zealand – what a disgrace! But Australians can change.

We can be the best!

How we will regain our Glory

Through an hour of high-energy performance, Simon will coach Australia’s rising stars to realise their true mathematical potential. The audience will learn the skills to play maths with their sporting instincts. What it means to work as a team against an equation. Why it is their intellectual obligation to exploit every loophole and bend every rule in sport and maths because winning is everything. Assisting in this highly visual and interactive endeavor will be the musical addition of Raceless from Aussie avante hip-hop pioneers Curse OV Dialect. After all, the 48th International Mathematical Olympiad is only one year away…

It’s time to get back to basics. It’s time for Little Mathletics.
