  • Cruising the ISLANDS of ORKNEY
    Cruising THE ISLANDS OF ORKNEY his brief guide has been produced to help the cruising visitor create an enjoyable visit to TTour islands, it is by no means exhaustive and only mentions the main and generally obvious anchorages that can be found on charts. Some of the welcoming pubs, hotels and other attractions close to the harbour or mooring are suggested for your entertainment, however much more awaits to be explored afloat and many other delights can be discovered ashore. Each individual island that makes up the archipelago offers a different experience ashore and you should consult “Visit Orkney” and other local guides for information. Orkney waters, if treated with respect, should offer no worries for the experienced sailor and will present no greater problem than cruising elsewhere in the UK. Tides, although strong in some parts, are predictable and can be used to great advantage; passage making is a delight with the current in your favour but can present a challenge when against. The old cruising guides for Orkney waters preached doom for the seafarer who entered where “Dragons and Sea Serpents lie”. This hails from the days of little or no engine power aboard the average sailing vessel and the frequent lack of wind amongst tidal islands; admittedly a worrying combination when you’ve nothing but a scrap of canvas for power and a small anchor for brakes! Consult the charts, tidal guides and sailing directions and don’t be afraid to ask! You will find red “Visitor Mooring” buoys in various locations, these are removed annually over the winter and are well maintained and can cope with boats up to 20 tons (or more in settled weather).

How did numerology influence different aspects of human creation? How could some numbers assume such an extraordinary meaning? Why some numbers appear so often throughout the fabric of reality? Has reality really a preference for a ternary pattern? Present excursion through the ‘life’ and ‘deeds’ of this pattern and of its parent number in different fields of human culture try to offer an answer to some of these questions giving at the same time a glance of the strange preference of the human mind for a patterned reality based on number three, which, like the 'unary' and 'dualistic' patterned reality, but in a more emphatic way, ended up assuming an archetypical character in the intellectual sphere of humanity. Introduction Three is not only the sole number that is the sum of all the natural numbers less than itself, but it lies between arguably the two most important irrational and transcendental numbers of all mathematics, i.e., e < 3 < π.

EXPANDING THE CONCEPT OF LITERACY What is a “text”? We invite you to consider the performances on McCallum’s Field Trip Series as non-print texts available for study and investigation by your students. Anyone who has shown a filmed version of a play in their classroom, used a website as companion to a textbook, or asked students to do online research already knows that LEARNING LINKS “texts” don’t begin and end with textbooks, novels, and reading packets. They extend to videos, websites, games, plays, concerts, dances, radio programs, and a number of other non-print texts that students and teachers engage with on a regular basis. We know that when we expand our definition of texts to the variety of media that we use in our everyday lives, we broaden the materials and concepts we have at our disposal in the classroom, increase student engagement, and enrich learning experiences. Please consider how utilizing your McCallum performance as a text might align to standards established for reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language. How do we help students to use these texts as a way of shaping ideas and understanding the world? Please use this material to help you on this journey. NON-PRINT TEXT > any medium/text that creates meaning through sound or images or both, such as symbols, words, songs, speeches, pictures, and illustrations not in traditional print form including those seen on computers, films, and in the environment.
