Halloween Costumes

Shopping,

With halloween fast approaching, people are starting to look for the best costume for the best price to wear to this year’s Halloween party! Either that or maybe a Halloween costume is needed for the kids to go out trick or treating in.

Well you have a choice, you can either make your own Halloween costume or you can go out and buy something ready made. Of course it is fun to make a Halloween costume, particularly when you are making it as part of play time that you are having with your children, you can make it into a good fun exercise and way to spend the weekend.  You may need some props in addition to some material to make a costume as well as a sewing machine to put it all together, but if you have the imagination then that is probably the best thing to do.

However, if you are lacking on time and imagination, or even think you may not have the requisite sewing skills to complete the task, then there are plenty of Halloween costumes available for sale. Check out Amazon for some great ideas on Halloween costumes and you might be surprised at what you can find for a very reasonable price:

Lifestyles, Shopping,

 

These days it seems that you can buy almost anything you want on Amazon, and Nike products are no exception. When you buy thorough Amazon you know you are getting your goods from a trusted retailer, so you are going to get the genuine article, particular in terms of products like Nike shoes, where fakes are rife.

Math – Prime Numbers

Science,

I have a fondness for prime numbers and I am not sure why. I guess they are kind of special in a way and even when you get to numbers of larger sizes you can still find prime numbers.

So prime numbers are numbers that can only be divided by themselves and 1. So for example 23 can only be divided by 23 and 1 and nothing else.  With smaller numbers it is relatively easy to tell if a number is prime or not by firstly making sure that it is and odd number and secondly dividing it by other numbers that are less than the square root of that number. However, it gets a bit more tricky once the prime number is higher than 100 or so, if you are trying to do the math in your head.

You can create some algorithms that will sieve out the non-prime numbers and that is the standard way to generate high prime numbers. You can create some basic coding that will generate some prime numbers or you could create a very basic excel spreadsheet.

Interestingly there is no current formula that will provide you with all of the prime numbers, many have tried but none have yet succeeded. prime numbers are fascinating to study and at the moment the largest prime number that has been found has about 13 million digits!

So, a list of all of the prime numbers under 100 follows:

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97

Google Translate

Internet

Among the many and expanding services that Google offers is Google translate. Not only can you get a web page or section of text translated into many different languages but you can also use the Google translate API to translate large amounts of text for you.

However, what you have to remember about Google translate is that it is an automated tool. It is never therefore going to give you a translation that sounds like the spoken word in a foreign language, unless the sentence is short and easy to translate.

So if you are looking for a real life translation of something then you cannot get any better than the human brain, and someone who speaks both languages fluently.

If you only want to know what something means though, you can use Google translate – at least this will give you a grasp of what is being said and you can reword it if it is then in your own language. So although useful, Google translate has its limitations.

Google translate now covers over 50 languages and the translation can take place between any two languages while passing through an English translation if necessary.

Some languages that are included in Google translate are:

French, Spanish, German, Dutch, Portuguese, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Finnish, Greek, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian, Swedish, Catalan, Filipino, Hebrew, Indonesian, Latvian, Serbian, Ukrainian, Arabic

This is just a selection and more languages are constantly being added.
