Seventy years before Robo-Ump, major league umpires were worrying about technology taking over their jobs. Baseball was experimenting with some electronic gizmo that made the calls, and umpires Bill Stewart, left, and Augie Donatello didn't like it. So they demonstrated at the Dodgers' training camp in Vero Beach, Fla., on March 14, 1950.

Pi Day

Pi Day is on March 14, and any day that combines fun, education, and pie is a day worth celebrating! Pi, also known by the Greek letter “π,” is a constant value used in math that represents the ratio of a circumference of a circle to its diameter, which is just about 3.14….15…9265359… (and so on). Not only that, but the fourteenth of March is also Albert Einstein’s birthday, so all together it’s nothing short of a mathematician’s delight.

When is Pi Day 2024?

The beautiful constant pi (π) is celebrated by mathematicians around the world on National Pi Day on March 14.

History of Pi Day

To learn about pi, we need to go back a few thousand years and learn about this elusive number. The value of pi was first calculated by Archimedes of Syracuse (287–212 BC), one of the greatest mathematicians of the ancient world.

However, it was first baptized with the Greek letter as its name when William Oughtred called it as such in his works dating back to 1647, later embraced by the scientific community when Leonhard Euler used the symbol in 1737.

But how did Pi Day end up in a country-wide phenomenon? For that, we need to travel to the Exploratorium in 1988 San Francisco, where it was thought up by physicist Larry Shaw.

Shaw linked March 14 with the first digits of pi (3.14) in order to organize a special day to bond the Exploratorium staff together, where he offered fruit pies and tea to everyone starting at 1:59 pm, the following three digits of the value. A few years later, after Larry’s daughter, Sara, remarked that the special date was also the birthday of Albert Einstein, they started celebrating the life of the world-famous scientist.

Pi Day became an annual Exploratorium tradition that still goes on today, and it didn’t take long for the idea to grow exponentially, hitting a peak on March 12, 2009, when the U.S Congress declared it a national holiday.

Now, celebrated by math geeks all around the circumference of the world, Pi Day became a pop culture phenomenon, with several places partaking in the activities, antics, observations and all the pie eating they can.

Traditions of the day

Pi Day gives math enthusiasts the opportunity to celebrate their love for numbers and the enigma that is the infinite pi.

Since 1988, the day has been celebrated at the San Francisco Exploratorium. The first celebration was organized by Larry Shaw, who worked as a physicist at the center. The staff participated by marching around the exploratorium and consuming fruit pies. This tradition has lived on since. Math lovers talk about math, host get-togethers, and have pi recital competitions. In schools, teachers arrange scavenger hunts, pie bake sales, and even Pi Day workouts to stimulate more interest in learning and practicing mathematics. Those folks who work in food marketing also love to get involved, so keep your eyes peeled for some discounts, deals, and freebies on pies, it’s going to be an extra tasty day.

Pi Day FAQs

Why is pi important?

Pi is very important for calculations in math, engineering, construction, physics and space exploration. Many often consider pi the most important number in all of mathematics.

Which pie should I bake for Pi Day?

Any you’d like. We do not play favorites when pie is concerned. Pies are really simple to make and can be made with several sweet or savory fillings. Apple Pie, Chicken Pot Pie, Pizza pie, be our guest!

Are there any places that give Pi Day deals?

Check restaurants, supermarkets and bakeries over on the Internet for special Pi Day deals. Places like Whole Foods, Boston Market and several pizza chains across the country have special day-long sales.

Pi Day Activities

Enjoy pie of course: Pi is a homophone of pie: the 2 words are pronounced similarly, but are spelled differently and mean different things. Celebrate Pi Day by eating lots of pie! Pizza, cherry, apple, you name it!

Throw a potluck party: Everyone loves to show off their family pie recipe. Make it a potluck and everyone will be inclined to bring their favorite pie to Pi Day, whether it's a pizza pie, a pot pie, a savory pie, or a sweet pie. Make a playlist that features songs like "I Like Pie, I Like Cake" and "American Pie.”

Try making a new pie: Ever tried to make a pie before? Now's your chance to bake your very own. Not into the sweet stuff? Don't worry, there are various savory pie recipes out there so that everyone can enjoy the warm buttery flakiness that comes with a fresh baked pie.

5 Facts About Pi

People compete in memorizing it: Rajveer Meena has the record for memorizing the most decimal places of pi at 70,000.

It’s used as stress tests for computers: Computing pi is a kind of “digital cardiogram” for computers.

A Givenchy men’s cologne is named pi: So you can smell like pi too if you are the intellectual and visionary kind.

It has other names: Pi can also be named “Archimedes’ constant,” or “Ludolph’s number.

It has been used by heroes: Spock foils the evil computer by having it calculate pi’s value in Star Trek’s episode “Wolf in the Fold”

Why We Love Pi Day

Pi is infinitely cool: Pi (π) is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter — and amazingly for all circles of any size, pi will always be the same. Pi is an "irrational number," meaning its exact value is completely unknown. Scientists have calculated billions of digits starting with 3.14159265358979323…, but no recognizable pattern ever emerges. We could continue on and on until infinity and we'd still have no idea what digit might emerge next.

Pi sounds like pie: If you are a nerd that likes pies this holiday is pretty much the best combination of the most interesting things in life: pie and mathematics. And of course that means that in order to celebrate abstract mathematical items that are somewhat irrational the obvious solution is to incorporate pie into the holiday.

Pi links mathematics to the real world: Maybe when you were in math class, you stared off into space wondering why on earth 'logs' or 'proofs' mattered so much. Pi is the answer, well at least, one of the things that links math back to real world uses. Because pi is linked to circles it is also linked to cycles, things like calculating waves, ebb and flow, the oceans tides, electromagnetic waves and much more. In addition, many natural world phenomena can also be calculated with pi — like the shape of rivers, the disc of the sun, the spiral of DNA and even the pupil of an eye.

Crazy Lust 6B: Chakaal breaking in Miranda Lawson as his personal plaything while she's hiding out on the Citadel.

(i took too long and the gif isn't aviable anymore T_T)

Hiding from all the ressources of Cerberus and her father possessed, on top of having to conceal her identity from most of the C-SEC, meant that Miranda had few options when it came to hiding. Most people who would be willing (and able) to hide her from all these organizations (as well as the System Alliance, even if they were a smaller problem) were people that asked a very high price from her. She had finally found someone called Chakaal (or at least that's what he said his name was) and it seemed like he was offering her a good price to help her hide while she stayed on the Citadel, so of course there was a catch...

Daily, hours-long, mind-melting fuck marathons.

Chakaal's appartment reeked of sex, of his and her cum, she was not allowed to wear any clothes while in there, and had to service him whenever he asked. thankfully his cock was large, girthy, huge (nearly as huge as Miranda's entire body), and he was a very good fuck.

So good that, within seconds of fucking her for the first time, she had forgotten about her anger at this deal. Within minutes she had already cum about five times. She found that her preferred position was being mating-pressed by the man, her legs wrapped around his waist, encouraging him to fuck her harder, faster, deeper. her perfect body could take it, was made to take this immense cock, to cum from it fucking her better than any of her one-night stands had ever done. She kissed Chakaal, she came on his cock, she tried to milk him, to press her body against his, to pleasure him, to make him feel as good as he was making her feel...

after days of being there, she had completely abandonned her initial plans, had forgotten her reason for comign to the Citadel entirely, and the only thing on her mind was being the best fuckpet she could for Chakaal.

I have developed a new practice.

Screens in the bedroom is a bad idea, but luckily lately my wifi doesn't reach that far, so I don't get tempted.

What I can do is load some webpages beforehand. Archive of Our Own to be precise. I'm reading a couple of longfics, so I load up one chapter of each. Just one. I know that if I want to find sleep, I have to go analog at some point, so more than one chapter per fic is strictly out of the question.

I read a chapter and I leave a comment. I learned that one from Tumblr. Fandom is a collaborative effort. Ficwriting is one component and talking about fics is another. We're in this together.

Of course I can't post the comment until the next day, when I'm back downstairs and within the confines of my wifi. The ficwriter doesn't know this, though, and for me the joy is prolonged, when I review my comment, remember, smile.

I love it when I get a reply, but I don't mind if I don't. I just hope I made someone happy.

Mistigram: mathletes and mathemagicians alike rejoice today, setting aside their traditional rivalries in celebration of #pi, a number that "... is magic. It is a number that is infinite, universal, transcendental, and irrational." Even though the #π symbol was only first used in its current mathematical form in 1706, coined by William Jones, it is difficult to imagine the world without it -- a world of collapsed churches and crumbled bridges. This #ANSIart screen celebrating #PiDay was drawn by AdeptApril of Storm BBS.

International Day of Action For Rivers

International Day of Action For Rivers, observed on March 14 every year, is a day that is dedicated to saving, celebrating, and creating awareness about the importance of rivers. Did you know that two million tons of sewage, industrial and agricultural waste are discharged into the world’s water every day? Yes, it is the equivalent of the weight of the entire human population of 6.8 billion people! This is why it is our time to save our rivers for the good of humanity.

History of International Day of Action For Rivers

The International Day of Action For Rivers is a day created by the International Day of Rivers to sensitize people about the importance of rivers. It brings people across the world together to talk about and save rivers by addressing the issues related to river management, river pollution, river conservation, etc.

The history of the origin of the International Day of Action For Rivers is an interesting one. In September 1995, several organizations, including International Rivers Network (I.R.N.), India’s Save the Narmada Movement (N.B.A.), Chile’s Biobio Action Group (GABB), and European Rivers Network (ERN) came together and conducted a preparatory meeting in Brazil. As a result, they formed an international Organizing Committee headed by Brazil’s Movement of People Affected by Large Dams (MAB).

In March 1997, in Curitiba, Brazil, participants of the First International Meeting of People Affected by Dams adopted the International Day of Action Against Dams and For Rivers, Water and Life. Furthermore, they decided that the International Day of Action For Rivers will take place on March 14.

Every year there will be a theme for the International Day of Action For Rivers, and last year, in 2021, the theme was ‘Rights of Rivers.’ It demanded that rivers be declared a national asset and given legal rights to stop the rivers from becoming dumping sites for waste and sewages.

Environment enthusiasts conduct workshops, seminars, and activities to celebrate this day to raise awareness and spread the message. So, let’s take a stand against the activities that harm the rivers and protect them at all costs.
