I don't use Twitter for my own commentary but maintain an account with which to follow others. One feed I enjoy immensely is "On This Day in Math," which today brought us this tidbit: "1812 Thomas Jefferson writes [to] John Adams 'I have given up newspapers in
exchange for Tacitus and Thucydides, for Newton and Euclid;...'" Oh, to be afforded such a luxury! For now, though, your correspondent regrettably must remain ensconced in daily affairs.
Still, to
honor TJ's late-in-life liberation from what must have been a life-long newspaper addiction,
those of you who have too long neglected your Newton and Euclid ought to
add to their new year's resolutions spending spare time watching Vi Hart videos (and rewatching them, perhaps with assistance from Sal Khan, till you thoroughly understand them). I had occasion over the summer to spend time re-upping my basic geometry and trig skills and looking at the material as an adult with an eye toward utility on my own projects. That turned out to be an entirely different and far more productive experience than slogging through geometry and trig texts in high school.

Hello Miss, Sir
You are in despair because you lack the financial means to reach your dreams. And even worse, your bank refuses you a loan and all this makes you feel suicidal. You see your damn life. You feel blocked and you can not move because of lack of financial means. And yes! I come to give you joy in my heart by this testimony. Offered it is not a simple testimony and to be more precise, I speak to you of my lived experience. A great lady has given me this joy and it is my turn to let you know that my joy is shared. Alice Gibson
I was able to make a loan of a large sum that I prefer to keep for myself. This loan is made between private and the big lady who allowed me to have this loan is named Mrs. JANIQUE LOUISE ANNICK CHANTRENS and the private address of this great lady is: chantrensjanique@gmail.com

Cordially.
