  • Gnomon Sundials – Student Worksheet
    Name ________________________ Gnomon Sundials – Student Worksheet GNOMON (shadow maker) Time read at point of shadow Arab philosophers of 9th and 10th centuries were amongst the first advanced scientists and mathematicians in Europe. They discovered that using a gnomon, a triangular shadow maker, would indicate hours of exactly the same length of standard time, no matter what time of year it was. Sundials were often ornate and had mottos such as: • Tempus fugit (Time flies – Latin) • Let others tell of storms and showers. I only tell of sunny hours (Anon) To prepare your gnomon Fold a sheet of paper in half. The fold will be the top of the gnomon and will be used to reinforce it. With the protractor, measure your school’s latitude (in this case 32oS) away from the fold then draw that line Name ________________________ Gnomon Sundials – Student Worksheet about 9cm long. Draw another line about 1cm below this to make the flaps that will stick onto the base in the worksheet. Leaving the paper folded cut round the outside of the gnomon. Fold out the flaps to attach to the prepared base below. The gnomon should be attached with the fold running down to the north or origin of the rays on the base. The base of the sundial Name ________________________ Gnomon Sundials – Student Worksheet Observations What time did your sundial read? __________________ What time is it according to your watch, clock or mobile? _______________________________________________ Why is there a difference? __________________________ Both Perth and Kalgoorlie are in the same time zone but their sundials read noon at different times.

  • Tempus Fugit
    TEMPUS FUGIT Melissa Pheterson In 1941 my grandfather’s mother opened a letter informing her son of his duty to serve in World War II. She crumpled on the floor and died of grief. Last Sunday, my mother, who lives in the town next to mine, returned from a grueling weekend of caring for my daughter—cooking dinner, coax- ing her to eat, bathing her, sustaining her kicks of protest over the slathering of lotion—only to collapse into bed at twilight with her iPad and find on Facebook a picture of Paige taken with her other grandmother, both forcibly yet prettily posed at a restaurant. “Facebook is a crock of…soup!” she texted me before weeping into the night, or so I deduced from her splotchy face at the airport the next morning. We were on the way to visit my grandparents. 87 88 VALPARAISO FICTION REVIEW “If your in-laws were nicer,” she muttered, re-counting the sandwiches she’d made for Paige to consume in-flight, “I would cook for them. So you wouldn’t have to set foot in a chain restaurant.” My grandparents never bothered to change the previous owners’ Tacky Eighties aesthetic, whose centerpiece was a Formica bar with etched glass waiter carrying a tray of glowing absinthe martinis. My grandfather Jacob used to call him “Harry,” summoning him with a whistle. Now Harry lords it over him; you can just see his tuxedoed silhouette from the den, where my grandpa dozes in his recliner or reads the same paragraph over and over; my grandmother recently bought him a large-print version of Fifty Shades of Grey, trusting her talk shows.

  • Death Judgement Hell Heaven
    Myztery Tempus Fugit Death Judgement Hell Heaven MRPB77046 Myztery Tempus Fugit Mystcal Rose Press Myztery, Tempus Fugit, Copyright © 2012, Mystical Rose Productions, Chatham, Ontario, Canada. All rights reserved. © 2012, Mystical Rose Productions Chatham, Ontario www.mysticalroseproductions.com www.myztery-tempus-fugit.net www.myztery.net [email protected] Printed in Canada Introduction by Pete Mason “Tempus Fugit” is Latin for “Time flies.” “Tempus fugit memento mori” means “time flies, remember death.” Tempus Fugit, as an album and eventual video idea for Myztery, came to me sometime around 2006 in Burnaby, BC. I had been exposed to a classic spiritual book called “The Four Last Things” by Fr. Martin von Cochem, O.S.F.C. (Tan Books and Publishers, Inc) and the four last things are listed as “Death, Judgement, Hell and Heaven.” The cover of the book quotes Hebrews 9:27: “. it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this the judgment.” In the opening pages it also quotes the book of Ecclesiasticus 7:40: “In all thy works remember thy last end, and thou shalt never sin.” I read the book and found it a powerful tool to use on monthly silent retreats, often bringing a copy of the book with me on mountain or monastery retreat days. After Myztery released their debut self-titled album in 2005, we began to think about what our next album would be like. I shared with Cyndie, my girlfriend and bandmate, my idea of taking “the four last things” and making an album out of it and even a full-length video.

  • Tempus-Fugit-Thorson.Pdf
    Tempus Fugit By Maureen Thorson And Short the Season Maxine Kumin W.W. Norton 2014 Many poets set out to write a first book. Few, I think, set out to write a last one. But the first necessarily implies the last – whoever begins a journey will finish traveling sometime. Maxine Kumin published her first book in 1961, when she was 36 years old, relatively late for a contemporary American poet. Known for plain-speaking verse and ecological focus, many of Kumin’s poems were inspired by, or set on, her New Hampshire farm (a fact that once earned her the sobriquet of “Roberta Frost”). She died this past February at the age of 88, just before her eighteenth collection, And Short the Season, was due to be published. Now that the book is out in the world, it is difficult not to read it as a “summing up.” And Short the Season is pervaded by themes of mortality and extinction, treating the latter with a Cassandra-like sense of urgency. The poems call the reader to greater awareness of his interdependence with other life – human, animal, and otherwise – while documenting and memorializing the connections between Kuman and her forebears, both biological and literary. The collection’s opening poem, “Whereof the Gift is Small,” skillfully sets up these themes. It takes its title from a line appearing in “Brittle Beauty,” a sonnet by Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey. Howard has the pleasant distinction of being, along with Spenser, Shakespeare, and Sir Thomas Wyatt, one of the fathers of the English sonnet, and the more dubious one of having been Henry VIII’s final victim (the fates saw fit to snuff out the gout-ridden and paranoiac monarch only a few days after Howard was dispatched for imaginary treason).

  • Juan Esteves Photos&Reviews
    Juan Esteves Photos&Reviews Tempus Fugit > Ilan Kelson >What we think, what we feel, our relationships and our experiences can be trivial or remarkable. But transforming them into art is a little more difficult. In 1984, Czech philosopher Vilém Flusser (1920-1991) wrote in his small but relevant book titled Towards a Philosophy of Photography (European Photography) that ‘there is no everyday activity which does not aspire to be photographed.’ This is a complex exercise because time goes by quickly, it flies, since when Virgil (70 BC-19 BC) in his long poem The Georgics, coined the expression Tempus Fugit, a well-known phrase that is also the title of Ilan Kelson’s photobook, published by Fotô Editorial in late 2020. Today, our metrics are different and, as Tunisian-born French philosopher Pierre Lévy (who specializes in implications of cyberspace and digital communications) says, it is necessary to observe the new perspectives regarding the advances of the means with which we communicate, which certainly involves one of the conflicts of photography, which generally seeks to describe the present, but making it immediately past. In fact, as this thinker says, not even online moments happen in real time, as they have a chronic delay. Then, how about the images that reside in distant past? >Tempus Fugit, according to its editors, attempted to think about what to do with the photos we’ve accumulated in life. It is a joint work of curator and author. Eight years ago, Kelson did a portfolio reading with editor Eder Chiodetto, who in that moment couldn’t find connections between the images.
