Orphan date February 2009 Phaeax Greek language Greek lang grc was an Athens Athenian orator and statesman. He was of good famity, being the son of Erasistratus . The date of his birth is not known, but he was a contemporary of Nicias and Alcibiades . Plutarch Alcib. 13 says, that he and Nicias were the only rivals from whom Alcibiades had any thing to fear when he entered upon public life. Phaeax, like Alcibiades, was at the time just rising to distinction. In 422 BC 422 BCE Phaeax with two others was sent as an ambassador to Italy and Sicily , to endeavor to induce the allies of the Athenians in that quarter and the other Siceliots to aid the Leontines against the Syracuse, Sicily Syracusans . He succeeded with Camarina and Agrigentum , but his failure at Gela led him to abandon the attempt as hopeless. In his way back he did some service to the Athenian cause among the states of Italy. Thucydides Thucyd. v. 4, 5. According to Theophrastus ap. Plut. it was Phaeax, and not Nicias, with whom Alcibiades united for the purpose of ostracizing Hyperbolus . Most authorities, however, affirmed that it was Nicias. Plut. l.c. Nic. 11, Aristid. 7. In the Lives of the Ten Orators Andoc. there is mention of a contest between Phaeax and Andocides , and a defence of the latter against the former. It is difficult to say to what period this could have referred. Andocides did not come into notice until after the affair of the mutilation of the Hermae. Phaeax was of engaging manners, but had no great abilities as a speaker. According to Eupolis ap. Plut. Alcib. 13 he was a fluent talker, but quite unable to speak. Comp. A. Gellius, N. A. i. 15. Aristophanes gives a description of his style of speaking Equit. 1377, etc. , from which we also gather that, on one occasion, he was brought to trial for some capital offence and acquitted. There has been a good deal of controversy respecting the speech against Alcibiades, commonly attributed to Andocides, which Taylor maintained to be ... more details

Breeding Sydney rock oysters are broadcast spawners , that is, eggs and sperm are released into open water where fertilisation occurs. Within hours of fertilisation the eggs develop into free swimming planktonic larva e.

Refimprove date February 2008 Turtle graphics is a term in computer graphics for a method of programming vector graphics using a relative Cursor computers cursor the turtle upon a Cartesian coordinate system Cartesian plane . Turtle graphics is a key feature of the Logo programming language Logo programming language . Overview Image Turtle Graphics Polyspiral.svg thumb right A spiral drawn with an iterative turtle graphics algorithm The turtle has three attributes a location an orientation a pen, itself having attributes such as color, width, and up versus down. The turtle moves with commands that are relative to its own position, such as move forward 10 spaces and turn left 90 degrees . The pen carried by the turtle can also be controlled, by enabling it, setting its color, or setting its width. A student could understand and predict and reason about the turtle s motion by imagining what they would do if they were the turtle. Seymour Papert called this body syntonic reasoning. From these building blocks one can build more complex shapes like squares, triangles, circles and other composite figures. Combined with control flow, procedures, and recursion, the idea of turtle graphics is also useful in a Lindenmayer system for generating fractal s. Turtle geometry is also sometimes used in graphics environments as an alternative to a strictly coordinate addressed graphics system. History Turtle graphics were added to the Logo programming language by Seymour Papert in the late 60s to support Papert s version of the turtle robot turtle robot , a simple robot controlled from the user s workstation that is designed to carry out the drawing functions assigned to it using a small retractable pen set into or attached to the robot s body. Turtle geometry works somewhat differently from x,y addressed Cartesian geometry , being primarily Vector geometry vector based i.e. relative direction and distance from a starting point in comparison to coordinate addressed systems such as Pos ... more details
In mathematics , the L vy C curve is a self similar fractal that was first described and whose differentiability properties were analysed by Ernesto Ces ro in 1906 and G. Farber in 1910, but now bears the name of France French mathematician Paul Pierre L vy , who was the first to describe its self similarity properties, as well as to provide a geometrical construction showing it as a representative curve in the same class as the Koch snowflake Koch curve . It is a special case of a period doubling curve, a de Rham curve . L system construction Image Levy C construction.png thumb 260px First eight stages in the construction of a L vy C curve Image Levy C Curve.svg thumb 260px L vy C curve from a L system, after the first 12 stages If using a Lindenmayer system then the construction of the C curve starts with a straight line. An isosceles triangle with angles of 45 , 90 and 45 is built using this line as its hypotenuse . The original line is then replaced by the other two sides of this triangle. At the second stage, the two new lines each form the base for another right angled isosceles triangle, and are replaced by the other two sides of their respective triangle. So, after two stages, the curve takes the appearance of three sides of a rectangle with the same length as the original line, but only half as wide. At each subsequent stage, each straight line segment in the curve is replaced by the other two sides of a right angled isosceles triangle built on it. After n stages the curve consists of 2 sup n sup line segments, each of which is smaller than the original line by a factor of 2 sup n 2 sup . This L system can be described as follows Variables tt F tt Constants tt &minus tt Start tt F tt Rules tt F F&minus &minus F tt where tt F tt means draw forward , means turn clockwise 45 , and &minus means turn anticlockwise 45 . The fractal curve that is the limit of this infinite process is the L vy C curve. It takes its name from its resemblance to a highly ornamented v ... more details
