![]() In fact, the shape is only an approximation to a true spiral. It is most unlikely that in any natural phenomenon we would see such jumps. As you go from one arc to another the curvature of the spiral jumps. For example, as the shape of a nautilus shell, the shape of a galaxy, the shape of a hurricane or even of a wave. It is often claimed that this spiral-like shape can be found in many places in in nature and art. If you take a line divided into two segments and so that is the golden ratio, and then form a rectangle with sides and, then this rectangle is called a golden rectangle.Ī spiral shape constructed from the golden rectangle. For a lot of examples of spurious correlations see this website. For example they can lead to false accusations and even to false convictions. This phenomenon can actually be quite dangerous, when spurious correlations are found in data to prove a point. ![]() As an example look at this BBC News article reporting on a "warrior queen" having been observed in a cloud pattern. Sooner or later you will find a cloud, which fits some novel pattern. A good way to see this is to go outside on a nice sunny day and look at the clouds. Indeed given enough data it is possible to find patterns that agree with almost any hypothesis. Also remember that as the golden ratio is an irrational number (see below) you will never see it exactly in any measurement.Īll of this is an example of the way that the human brain finds spurious correlations. Similar spurious patterns are also observed in the solar system (which also has lots of different ratios that you can choose from). Indeed most numbers between 1 and 2 will have two parts of the body approximating them in ratio. If you look hard enough you will also find proportions in the human body close to 1.6, 5/3, 3/2, the square root of 2, 42/26, etc, etc. This is especially true if the things that you are measuring are not particularly well-defined (as in the picture on the left) and it is possible to vary the definition in such a way as to get the proportions that you want to find. If you consider enough of them then you are bound to get numbers close to the value of the golden ratio (around 1.618). The body has many possible ratios, lots of which lie somewhere between 1 and 2. However, none of this is true, not even remotely. You can superimpose all sorts of rectangles on a beautiful face and then claim that beauty derives from the proportions of the rectangle. You'd like to divide it in such a way that the ratio between the whole segment and the longer of the two pieces is the same as the ratio between the longer of the two pieces and the shorter one. ![]() Imagine you have a line segment which you would like to divide into two pieces. It was defined by the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid as follows. Let's start by quickly recalling what the golden ratio actually is. Yes, twice! So are any of these great claims made for the golden ratio true? What's the golden ratio again? Yet in my whole career of applying mathematics to the real world I have come across the golden ratio exactly twice. It has also been claimed that the golden ratio appears in the human body, for example as the ratio of the height of an adult to the height of their navel, or of the length of the forearm to that of the hand. For example it is claimed that both the Parthenon and the pyramids are in this proportion. It is claimed that much of art and architecture contains features in proportions given by the golden ratio. It has been described by many authors (including the writer of the da Vinci Code) as the basis of all of the beautiful patterns in nature and it is sometimes referred to as the divine proportion. It appears, for example, in the book/film The da Vinci Code and in many articles, books, and school projects, which aim to show how mathematics is important in the real world. Most of you will have heard about the number called the golden ratio. This article is based on a talk in an ongoing GreshamĬollege lecture series. ![]()

The first impressions are of a rum that is too woody, with unsettling, unfamiliar flavours. This is one of those rare rums which tastes a little better each time you try it. I just cannot escape that feeling of long dusty desert mountain trails followed by wood smoke campfires. Sweetness seems to be absent as the rum exits my mouth, but the mildly bitter tea and cocoa flavours identified on the palate seem to stay on the back of the palate well after the rum is gone. The finish brings to mind dry fruit and roasted nuts. Even in its minimized form, it acts to support the other flavours allowing that mellow bitterness to become more than it was. Yet… that whisper of caramel sweetness is not lost. Caramel accents are far back in the flavour profile, sitting behind the old woody tannins, and leathery tobacco smokiness. Whispers of ripe freshly cut cocoa bean and Oolong tea set vague impressions of their presence into the rum but do not try to overwhelm it. There is a soft mild leathery (tobacco?) bitterness but, this is a mild approachable bitterness of older wood tannins, and earthy smoke. In the mouth, the rum feels old and tastes aged. The old wooden casks have been allowed to set their mark firmly into the flavour profile. In fact, I would say the Mocambo Art Edition is a celebration of old wood and cask aging. The Mocambo 20 Art Edition is a style of rum that genuflects at the altar of old wood without apology. The rum embraces its age, and its time spent in wooden casks. It is as if I really am traveling along an old forgotten trail through the low desert mountains of Mexico. This is pungent more so than sweet and I can almost smell desert dust and sagebrush. Wisps of wood smoke and rawhide drift into the air in front of a lightly sweetened caramel and dried raisin. The scents and smells which rise from the glass are very unique, and the overall effect is unlike the aroma of other spanish style rums which I have come across. When I swirl the glass, I am rewarded with moderately thick legs which trickle back down the sides of the glass. The Mocambo rum displays a leathery brown colour, with a distinct grey pallor. The bark fibers cover each glass in a different style and every bottle will have a slightly different presentation.Īnd to make things even better, the bottle is corked with a quality high density cork. I am impressed with the care and attention to detail shown. In the Bottle 5/5Īrtist, Victor Fernández, was selected to decorate the rum bottle with natural fibers to represent old Mexican handicraft in a modern art style. We will sleep well tonight under the starry Mexican skies…. Everything feels and tastes just about right. I take a small sip from a long slender bottle of Mexican rum. I am chewing on some raisins and caramels. My wife is boiling some tea by the campfire. I smell the mountain air, and it is mingled with the smells of the desert the dusty trail, the dry sage brush, even some long abandoned wooden barrels that lie at the side of the campsite. Our leather rain coats are rolled up and will be used as pillows tonight. Scraps of old dried wood found nearby are used to feed the fire which burns low to the ground and is mostly ash and coals and smoke now. Now we sit by a campfire with our throats full of dust and the sweat clinging to our faces. I sense that I have been hiking the mountain trails all day, my wife beside me sharing the journey. Perhaps because I was tired and have been working hard, my imagination brought me to the end of a dusty desert trail in the low mountains. I began my review of the Mocambo 20 Anos Anejo Rum (the Art Edition) by closing my eyes, and letting my imagination takes me where it willed. The Art Edition is a throwback style of rum which uses old techniques of production, and then combines those techniques with modern aging to produce an aged rum of unique taste and character. According to their website the 20-year-old edition which I sampled is called The Art Edition. The Ron Mocambo 20-year-old rum is distilled by Licores Veracruz, S.A.

So maybe this Xbench score is actually fairly quantifying the increased performance effect of an SSD drive! For example a 2.0ghz cpu laptop with an SSD drive may feel as fast as a computer with a 2.2 or 2.4ghz cpu & a traditional hard drive. On the other hand.many reviews have said that the SSD drives in computers make them seem much faster than the computers cpu ghz level would indicate. So I don't know.maybe the individual scores in Xbench would need to be rebalanced (as well as Xbench only supports up to 4 cores, not 6, 8, or 12-core Mac Pro's). I'm thinking that in some small way an SSD maybe a bit unfair.since someone in this thread said that the last time Xbench was rewritten was 2006.before SSD drives were commonly available (or maybe not at all). ![]() ![]() ![]() The features that make for good hiking gear are identical to what we want in good gardening gear!
