Remembering Ramanujan: A Magic Square Tribute on His Death Anniversary

While asleep, I had an unusual experience. There was a red screen formed by flowing blood, as it were. I was observing it. Suddenly a hand began to write on the screen. I became all attention. That hand wrote a number of elliptic integrals. They stuck to my mind. As soon as I woke up, I committed them to writing. Srinivasa Ramanujan Srinivasa Ramanujan was a renowned Indian mathematician who…

Battle of Kasserine Pass

The Battle of Kasserine Pass in Tunisia (18-22 February 1943) was won by Axis German and Italian forces led by field marshal Erwin Rommel (1891-1944) against a combined Allied army of British, French, and US troops. The last fling of the famed Afrika Korps, Kasserine proved to be an inconsequential victory as the Allies rallied in force and definitively pushed the Axis armies out of North Africa just a few months later.

Operation Torch

The Allies (the United States and Britain and its empire) were keen to open a second front in Europe against Germany and Italy but first had to secure North Africa, which could provide a platform for an invasion of Italy. The Western Desert Campaigns had been swinging back and forth across the desert since 1940. Finally, the pendulum was ceasing to swing, beginning with the success of the British Eight Army at the Second Battle of El Alamein (October-November 1942) and followed up a few days later by Operation Torch, a massive amphibious and air operation, which landed three Allied armies in French Morocco and Algeria. As the British Eighth Army led by General Bernard Montgomery (1887-1976) moved in from the east and the Allied army (US, British, and French forces) of Torch commanded by Lieutenant-General Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969) moved from the west, the Axis armies were reduced to holding a pocket in northern Tunisia. Without sufficient supplies, the Axis field marshal Erwin Rommel recommended to the leader of Nazi Germany Adolf Hitler (1889-1945), who was then wholly preoccupied with the Russian Front, that North Africa be abandoned. Rommel's advice was ignored, and he was ordered to continue the desert campaign as best he could. Aid did arrive in the form of 17,000 fresh Axis troops, who landed via Tunis through November. These reinforcements and an increase in the power of the German air force in the region, allowed the Axis armies to successfully defend their position in Tunisia at Longstop Hill (22-25 December).

The progress of the Allies was being seriously hampered by poor weather and the logistical problem of supplying the Eighth Army through the extensive minefields at El Alamein. Montgomery, too, was particularly careful to ensure the enemy could not push his army back at any point as it slowly advanced. In any case, as time pressed on and 1943 began, the Allies were only growing stronger in troop numbers and material as these poured into the multiple ports they controlled. The Axis army was gaining in strength, too, but was far from equal to that of the Allies. Allied air and sea superiority continued to ensure Axis supplies to North Africa were continuously in peril. In January 1943, 31 of the 51 Axis supply ships destined for Tunisia were sunk or damaged. Through January and February, the Axis powers lost 200,000 tons of shipping destined for Tunis.

changing of topic when do you think the merry thieves birthdays are?

Cassie once confirmed that Matthew is a Capricorn, making his birthday anywhere between 22 December and 19 January. I think he probably is a January baby since he didn't seem to have his birthday in TLH. I'm going with 12 January 1886 because I can.

Thomas went for his travel year probably pretty shortly after turning 18. He got back 6 weeks ago as of August after 9 months abroad, which is a month and a half. Therefore his birthday is 11ish months before August, making him a September baby. Why not September 10 1885? Alastair's probably around September 20 1884. #soulmatescelebratetogether.

I think it was mentioned somewhere that James was a bit younger than Matthew. I may also think this because Charlotte was pregnant in the Wessa Baby comic. Also in the baby comic, it was snowing, meaning Matthew was probably born soon since he wasn't in the comic. I think it's around new year, making James an August or September baby like Thomas and Alastair. Maybe August 31 or Sept 1, walking the edge.

I have no idea about Christopher, I never really thought about it - but we do know he's younger than the other three. 1887. But he's in the same year as James and Matthew at school (and Thomas. Who was held back for Healh Reasons). He was probably born in the early half of the year then. I'm going with May 8th, because his lavender eyes scream Spring.

THE DESCRIPTION OF SAINT FRANCES XAVIER CABRINI The Patron of Immigrants Feast Day: November 13

Before she became the patron of immigrants, she was born Maria Francesca Cabrini on July 15, 1850, in Sant'Angelo Lodigiano, in the Lombard Province of Lodi, then part of the Austrian Empire. She was the youngest of the thirteen children of farmers Agostino Cabrini and Stella Oldini. Only four of the thirteen survived beyond adolescence.

Born two months early, Maria was small and weak as a child and remained in delicate health throughout her life. During her childhood, she visited an uncle, Don Luigi Oldini of Livagra, a priest who lived beside a swift canal. While there, she made little boats of paper, dropped violets in them, called the flowers 'missionaries', and launched them to sail off to India and China. Francesca attended a school run by the Daughters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus at thirteen, then she graduated cum laude with a teaching degree five years later.

After her parents died in 1870, she applied for admission to the Daughters of the Sacred Heart at Arluno. These sisters were her former teachers, but reluctantly, they told her she was too frail for their life.

Cabrini took religious vows in 1877 and added Xavier (Saverio) to her name to honor the Jesuit saint, St. Francis Xavier, the patron saint of missionary service. She had planned, like Francis Xavier, to be a missionary in the Far East.

In November 1880, Cabrini and seven other women who had taken religious vows with her founded the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The sisters took in orphans and foundlings, opened a day school to help pay expenses, started classes in needlework and sold their fine embroidery to earn a little more money. The institute established seven homes and a free school and nursery in its first five years. Its good works brought Cabrini to the attention of Giovanni Scalabrini, Bishop of Piacenza, and of Pope Leo XIII.

In September 1887, Cabrini went to seek the pope's approval to establish missions in China. Instead, he urged that she go to the United States to help the Italian immigrants who were flooding to that nation, mostly in great poverty. 'Not to the East, but to the West' was his advice.

Along with six other sisters, Cabrini left for the United States, arriving in New York City on March 31, 1889. While in New York, she encountered disappointment and difficulties. Michael Corrigan, the third archbishop of New York, who was not immediately supportive, found them housing at the convent of the Sisters of Charity. She obtained the archbishop's permission to found the Sacred Heart Orphan Asylum in rural West Park, New York, later renamed Saint Cabrini Home. She organized catechism and education classes for the Italian immigrants and provided for many orphans' needs. She established schools and orphanages despite tremendous odds. She was as resourceful as she was prayerful, finding people who would donate what she needed in money, time, labor, and support. Cabrini was naturalized as a United States citizen in 1909.

While preparing Christmas candy for local children, Cabrini died on December 22, 1917 at the age of 67 due to malaria in Columbus Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. Her body was initially interred at what became Saint Cabrini Home, the orphanage she founded in West Park, Ulster County, New York. She was beatified on November 13, 1938, by Pope Pius XI, and canonized on July 7, 1946, by Pope Pius XII, a year after World War II ended. In 1950, Pope Pius XII named Frances Xavier Cabrini as the patron saint of immigrants, recognizing her efforts on their behalf across the Americas in schools, orphanages, hospitals, and prisons.

SAINT OF THE DAY (June 17)

Albert Chmielowski was born on 20 August 1845 in Igołomia, on the outskirts of Kraków Congress Poland, as Adam Hilary Bernard Chmielowski.

He was one of the saints who inspired the vocation of the young Karol Wojtyla, the future Pope John Paul II.

Born into a wealthy and aristocratic family, Adam was the oldest of four children.

Actively involved in politics from his youth, Adam lost a leg fighting in an insurrection against Czar Alexander III at age 18.

In Krakow, he became a popular artist. His talent in the subject led him to study in Munich and Paris.

A kind and compassionate person, Adam was always deeply aware of human suffering and felt called to help those in need. 

Realizing that God was calling Him to a life of service, he returned to Krakow in 1874, determined to dedicate his talents to the glory of God. 

Instead of continuing his work as an artist, he decided to care for the poor and became a Secular Franciscan, taking the name Albert.

In 1887, Albert founded the Brothers of the Third Order of Saint Francis, Servants of the Poor, known as the Albertines or the Gray Brothers. 

In 1891, he then founded a community of Albertine sisters, also known as the Gray Sisters.

The Albertines organized food and shelter for the poor and homeless of any age or religion. 

Albert preached on the great crisis that results from a refusal to see and aid the suffering individuals in society.

In 1949, Pope John Paul II, who was at the time Father Karol Wojtyla, wrote a well-received play about Albert called Our God’s Brother. 

John Paul II later said that he found great spiritual support for his own vocation in the life of St. Albert, whom he saw as an example of leaving behind a world of art, literature and theater to make a radical choice for the priesthood.

Brother Albert died on Christmas Day, 25 December 1916, due to stomach cancer in the shelter that he had established.

Pope John Paul II beatified him on 22 June 1983 and canonized on 12 November 1989.

The Church celebrates St. Albert’s feast day on June 17.

Taylor & Berliner Los Angeles 220 Story Bldg (Photo taken February 25, 2024 by Scott Fajack at Clinton & Normandie, which you could maybe say is it the 'Melrose Hill' neighborhood)

I wonder if this is the first time I have a stamp with their address included in it! 220 Story Bldg was a unit in the 1909 Story Building, located at 610 N. Broadway Los Angeles, CA 90014. I know they were at least at this address by 1912, thanks to this advertisement:

Taylor & Berliner were Samuel W Berliner of 1202 S Bronson Ave and William J Taylor of 3973 La Salle Ave.

According to Find a Grave, Samuel W. Berliner was born in New York City on December 3, 1887 and died in the city of Los Angeles on August 29, 1963. He is buried at the Home of Peace Memorial Park in East Los Angeles. But, according to Southwest Jewry: An Account of Jewish Progress and Achievement in the Southland, he was born on December 12, 1887. He went to the College of City of New York and the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, where he received a degree in civil engineering in 1909. After arriving in Los Angeles in 1911, he began his work in general engineering and road construction. "Among the noted structures in which he had a large hand was the North Broadway Bridge, Bible Institute Building, Los Angeles Sewerage System." In 1926, he lived at 4507 W. 18th St. in Los Angeles and had an office as H. Berliner at 738 S. Los Angeles Ave. (apparently since 1918 he was involved in H's apparel manufacturing business) [Volume 1, Sunland Publishing Company, 1926]. And at some point, he may have been a civil engineering associate for 11 years, 5 months of the DWP, if it's the same Samuel W. Berliner; it seems like perhaps he did this as a later career, as it looks like he retired in 1952 (The Intake, Employees of the Department of Water and Power, 1952).

In 1910, Berliner built a two-storey residence with eleven rooms on Bronson Ave. between Pico and Country Club Blvd for Sallie Berliner. At this time, Samuel's office was at 202 Jefferies Bluilding (Southwest Contractor and Manufacturer, Volume 6, Engineers and Architects Association of Southern California, 1910). I'm unclear what this building was, but perhaps that was a typo and it was the Jeffries Building at 117 E. Winston St., which was built in 1906 for W. P. Jeffries Company, a printing and engraving business (thejeffriesla.com) but of course are now apartments.

In 1912, Taylor & Berliner lost a contract in Lordsburg, CA (a place I had never heard of because it is now called La Verne!) and submitted a bid in Los Angeles to improve Virgil Avenue between Fountain Avenue and Santa Monica Blvd., involving grading, graveling and oiling; cement curb; concrete gutter; "vit. blk. gutter;" cement sidewalk; and storm drain (Southwest Contractor and Manufacturer, Volume 10, Engineers and Architects Association of Southern California, 1912).

In 1913, they were the lowest bidder to improve Section 2 of the Newport Beach Road in Santa Ana, CA and were awarded a contract from E. D. Silent Co. to construct cement curbs, gutters, and sidewalks "in Ardmore Heights, Normandie, Mariposa, Clinton an Torrence Aves." in Los Angeles, CA (Good Roads, Volume 44, E.L. Powers Company, 1913). Weirdly one of the listings in this publication shows them at 618 S. Broadway, which is not the address of the Story Building (610 S. Broadway), but I am assuming that's an error. Later that year, they submitted a bid for Sec. H. of "the state highway" (Western Machinery and Steel, Volume 3, Cal. Western Engineering Publishing Company, 1913).

In 1914, Taylor & Berliner was awarded the contract for Section A of Division VI, Route 4 in Merced County, "from the south boundary to the City of Merced (VI--Mer.--4--A): Laid out as State Highway Oct. 22, 1912" (California Highway Bulletin, Volume III, Number 1, January 1, 1915, California Highway Commission, Department of Engineering, State of California, California State Printing Office, Sacramento). They also got the contract for 14 miles of state highway in Merced county and "for asphalt-conc. paving and cement sidewalks, curbs, etc., in Brand blvd." in Tropico (now Glendale) [The American Contractor, Volume 35, F. W. Dodge Corporation, 1914].

I know the photo is from before 1915, because by that year's city directory Taylor & Berliner were located at 606 S Hill, room 211, just around the corner, and listed as "road contractors," which is very clearly what they are from all the bids (Los Angeles City Directory, 1915, Los Angeles Directory Company, 1915). That year they won a contract for the construction of Glenn County, Div. 3, Route 7, Sec. B. roadway (Engineering and Contracting, Volume 44, Engineering and Contracting Publishing Company, 1915). In the same year, they submitted bids for Contra Costa Co. Div. 4, Route 14, Sec. A; Tulare Co., Div. 4, Route 10, Sec. A.; and Kings Co., Div 6, Route 10, Sec. A (Building and Engineering News, Volume 15, Issue 1, 1915).

Calkins v. Berliner et al. (Civ. 1576) in the District Court of Appeal, Second District, California, February 19, 1915 was an appeal to a previous suit "for compensation due for the use of horses and wagons." The court found "that payment should be made on the 10th of each month for the preceding month, or as soon thereafter as defendants received their money for grading" the Ardmore Heights Tract in Los Angeles County and did not reverse the original decision. 'Berliner et al.' was Samuel Berliner and William J. Taylor, "partners trading as Taylor & Berliner" (The Pacific Reporter, Volume 147, West Publishing Company, 1915).

Elmer Wright "plead guilty to the charge of burglary against him for breaking into the tool house of Taylor & Berliner at Richfield" in 1917. George Mueller was an accomplice. Both had been "trust employees of Taylor & Berliner and competent workmen" and, in a twist, Taylor & Berliner agreed to hire them again ("100 years ago: Teen gets probation for burglary," The Times-Standard, August 29, 2018)!

In 1961, Samuel W. Berliner was located at 217 S Swall Dr. in Beverly Hills, CA (Roster Civil and Professional Engineers and Surveyors, California Board of Registration for Professional Engineers, 1961).

National Observance (India)

🔘National Mathematics Day History

The founder of Mathematics Day in India is the famous mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan, whose contributions have influenced society both domestically and internationally. Ramanujan was born in 1887 to an Iyengar Brahmin family in Erode, Tamil Nadu. He developed several of his own theorems and became proficient in trigonometry at the age of twelve despite having minimal formal education.

At the age of 14, Ramanujan fled his home and enrolled in Pachaiyappa’s College in Madras. Ramanujan was unable to finish his studies with a Fellow of Arts degree because, like his peers there, he solely succeeded in mathematics without achieving the same success in other subjects. Ramanujan chose to conduct independent research in mathematics despite his extreme poverty.

The aspiring mathematician quickly caught the attention of Chennai’s mathematics. The founder of the Indian Mathematical Society, Ramaswamy Iyer, helped him secure a clerkship at the Madras Port Trust in 1912. After that, Ramanujan began sending his work to mathematicians in Britain. A mathematician from Cambridge named GH Hardy was so impressed by Ramanujan’s theorems that he invited him to London in 1913.

In 1914, Ramanujan traveled to Britain, where Hardy helped him enroll in Trinity College, Cambridge. Ramanujan was well on his way to success after being elected as a member of the London Mathematical Society in 1917. He was also made a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1918, making him one of the youngest people to get this honor.

🔘Significance of National Mathematics Day

Let us see about National Mathematics Day 2024 in Detail:

On National Mathematics Day 2024, read about trigonometry. Ramanujan develops trigonometry theorems on his own. It is among the best mathematical inventions ever made.

Consider seeing a Ramanujan film on National Mathematics Day in 2024. The life of Ramanujan is depicted in the film rather clearly.

As Ramanujan has shown, every student has unique strengths and shortcomings. While doing our best is always important, don’t forget to help and encourage a kid who does exceptionally well in a particular subject.

National Mathematics Day honors and celebrates the remarkable mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan, who departed college to study mathematics on his own after struggling in other topics.

🔘Mathematics Day Timeline

1887 (Ramanujan is Born): A great mathematician who made a lasting impact on the discipline, Ramanujan was born into a poor Iyengar Brahmin family in Erode, Tamil Nadu.

1918 (A High Achievement): Soon after being elected to join the London Mathematical Society in Britain, Ramanujan becomes one of the youngest individuals in history to be named a Fellow of the Royal Society.

2012 (Mathematics Day is Recognized): In honor of Ramanujan’s achievements, former Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh proclaims December 22, the day of Ramanujan’s birth, to be National Mathematics Day.

2019 (The Royal Society Honors Ramanujan): The prestigious Royal Society United Kingdom’s National Academy of Sciences– tweets a special message in honor of the fellow.

🔘5 Amazing Facts About Trigonometry

The Fundamental Identities

There are eight Trigonometric identities called fundamental identities, three of them are called Pythagorean identities as they are based on the Pythagorean theorem.

An Ancient Calculation

In the third century BC, trigonometry developed as a result of the use of geometry in astronomy research.

Mathematics as Music

A single note can be represented on a sine curve, a chord can be represented with multiple sine curves used in conjunction with one another, and sound waves travel in a repeating wave pattern that can be graphically represented by sine and cosine functions. Trigonometry is closely related to music and is a key component of musical theory and production.

The Meaning of Trigonometry

The word ‘Trignometry’ comes from the word ‘Triangle Measure.’

Trigonometry Helps Us Navigate

If we had trigonometry in the 1700s, we would most likely be a ship’s navigator. With a little trigonometry and a decent clock, a skilled navigator can find their position even in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

🔘How is National Mathematics Day celebrated in schools and colleges?

Schools and colleges celebrate the day with math quizzes, puzzles, exhibitions, seminars, and workshops. The purpose of the activities is to encourage kids to become interested in mathematics and to make learning the subject enjoyable.

🔘Why is mathematics important in our daily lives?

Mathematics is essential in everyday activities like budgeting, cooking, shopping, and technology. It forms the foundation of several disciplines, including data science, engineering, and economics, and aids in logical reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making.

🔘How can students get involved in National Mathematics Day?

Students can take part in math-related contests, work on projects with well-known mathematicians, go to workshops, or work through challenges and puzzles. Another excellent method to remember is to participate in group activities or conversations on the importance of math in various professions.
