IT'S HALLOWEEN TIME!!!!!!!! 31st October 2014 If you want to carve a Jack-O-Lantern you have to follow these steps: First- Take your umbrellas and go to the market to buy 4 pumpkins.
Second- Divide the class in four groups and cover the table with newspaper. Third- Measure a circle with about a 2-inch (5cm) radius from the stem. You'll cut around this circle to make the lid.
Fourth- Remove the filling from the pumpkin. Use a large spoon or your hands to pull all of the filling and seeds from the inside of your pumpkin.
Fifth- Draw your design on the pumpkin. For traditional, silhouette and pith carving, use a permanent marker or dry-erase marker to outline your design on the pumpkin.
Sixth- For pumpkin carving, use a serrated bread knife.

In 1974, a young Professor of architecture in Budapest
(Hungary) named Erno Rubik created an object that was not supposed to be
possible. His solid cube twisted and turned - and still it did not
break or fall apart. With colourful stickers on its sides, the Cube got
scrambled and thus emerged the first “Rubik’s Cube”. It took well over a
month for Erno to work out the solution to his puzzle. Little did he
expect that Rubik’s Cube would become the world’s best-selling toy ever.
As a teacher, Erno was always looking for new, more exciting ways to
present information, so he used the Cube’s first model to help him
explain to his students about spatial relationships. Erno has always
thought of the Cube primarily as an object of art, a mobile sculpture
symbolizing stark contrasts of the human condition: bewildering problems
and triumphant intelligence; simplicity and complexity; stability and
dynamism; order and chaos.For this magic object to become the most
popular toy in history a few chance meetings had to take place.
The first Magic Cubes
As with many of the world’s greatest inventions it did not have an
easy birth. After presenting his prototype to his students and friends
Erno began to realise the potential of his cube. The next step was to
get it manufactured. The first cubes were made and distributed in
Hungary by Politechnika. These early Cubes, marketed as “Magic Cubes”
(or “Buvos Kocka”), were twice the weight of the ones available later.
In the 70’s Hungary was part of the Communist regime behind the Iron
Curtain, and any imports or exports where tightly controlled. How was
Erno’s invention, that had become a major success in Hungary, going to
make it into the hands of every child of the 80’s?
The first step in the Rubik’s Cube’s battle to worldwide
recognition was to get out of Hungary. This was accomplished partly by
the enchanted mathematicians who took the Cubes to international
conferences and partly by an expat Hungarian entrepreneur who took the
cube to the Nuremberg Toy Fair in 1979. It was at there that Tom Kremer,
a toy specialist, agreed to sell it to the rest of the world. Tom’s
unrelenting belief in the Cube finally resulted in the Ideal Toy Company
taking on distribution of the “Magic Cube”. Ideal Toy’s executives
thought that the name had overtones of witchcraft and after going
through several possibilities the name: “Rubik’s Cube” was decided on,
and the icon was born.
In the time since its international launch in 1980 an estimated 350
million Rubik’s Cubes have been sold. Approximately one in seven people
alive have played with a Rubik’s Cube. This little six color cube has
gone on to represent a decade. It has started art movements (Rubik
Cubism); pop videos, Hollywood movies and even had its own TV show; it
has come to represent both genius and confusion; it has birthed a sport
(Speedcubing); and it has even been into space.
The beauty of the Rubik’s Cube is that when you look at a scrambled
one, you know exactly what you need to do without instruction. Yet
without instruction it is almost impossible to solve, making it one of
the most infuriating and engaging inventions ever conceived.
“If you are curious, you’ll find the puzzles around you. If you are determined, you will solve them. ”
