Never heard of that gang, who are the Virgos?
Now, if the sun's rays are coming in at the same angle at the same time of day, and a stick in Alexandria is casting a shadow while a stick in Syene is not, it must mean that the Earth's surface is curved.
So, on June 21 he planted a stick directly in the ground and waited to see if a shadow would be cast at noon. It turns out there was one. And it measured about 7 degrees.
Eratosthenes had heard that in Syene, a city south of Alexandria, no vertical shadows were cast at noon on the summer solstice. The sun was directly overhead. He wondered if this were also true in Alexandria.

i liked Real Magic, just a bit better, this one is good.
The project monitors a geographically distributed network of hardware random number generators in a bid to identify anomalous outputs that correlate with widespread emotional responses to sets of world events.
The Global Consciousness Project is a parapsychology experiment begun in 1998 as an attempt to detect possible interactions of "global consciousness" with physical systems.
In computing, a hardware random number generator (HRNG) or true random number generator (TRNG) is a device that generates random numbers from a physical process, rather than by means of an algorithm.
Random number generators are useful for many different purposes. Aside from obvious applications like generating random numbers for the purposes of gambling or creating unpredictable results in a computer game, randomness is important for cryptography.
Exploited in carnivals, the fact that given a choice of any number between 1 and 10, people will most often choose 3 or 7. A number of people will pick 37 while a smaller, but still lopsided number of people will pick 73.
John von Neumann was a Hungarian-American mathematician, physicist, computer scientist, engineer and polymath. He developed a PRNG around 1946. His idea was to start with an initial random seed value, square it, and slice out the middle digits.
Before your thoughts can change the world, they must change you. When the conversation shifts to the power of positive thinking, setting intentions, Think and Grow Rich, the Law of Attraction, fake it until you make it.
Setting and living your intentions allows you to focus on who you are in the moment, to recognize and live your values, and to raise your emotional energy, which in turn raises your physical energy.
