Shaun had defeated John Bremner, the CSE Legion skipper, in his semi-final whilst Dave reached the final via a last four victory over Kevin Maclean from Culloden Moor Inn. In more recent times, it’s become a bit more streamlined to explore the parameter space—though by now we’ve accumulated hundreds of parameters: Those messages apply not only to students but to our communities as a whole, and we will continue to work with partners and all those in the city centre to ensure Sunderland remains a safe place.” People can also be a victim of ‘needle spiking’, which is injecting someone with drugs without their consent.

Kepler actually had an immediate application for these rhombic polyhedra: he wanted to use them, along with the cube, to make a nested-spheres model that would fit the orbital periods of the four moons of Jupiter that Galileo had discovered in 1610. Last year the spikeys were rolled out at all on-campus bars at the University of Sunderland and were widely used by students proving very successful.Grampian have retained their title in the Darts Corner SDA Counties Championship as they finish top of the Accumulative Table in Scotland North on 87 points with Fife second on 72 and Highland third on 69. We know it can be scary to report being spiked, but the police are here to help you. They will listen to you and take you seriously. They may ask for a sample of your blood or urine to test, to find out if drugs have been used. It is important you are tested as soon as possible if you think your drink was spiked as most drugs leave your body within 12 –72 hours. The effects of drink spiking vary depending on what you’ve been spiked with. Your symptoms could include:

Unkelbach actually viewed his 1940 paper as a kind of warmup for a study of more general “ k-symmetric polyhedra” with looser symmetry requirements. But it was already remarkable enough that a mathematics journal was being published at all in Germany after the beginning of World War II, and soon after the paper, Unkelbach was pulled into the war effort, spending the next few years designing acoustic-homing torpedoes for the German navy. Having discovered this, Kepler started looking for other “rhombic polyhedra”. The rhombic dodecahedron he found has rhombuses composed of pairs of equilateral triangles. But by 1619 Kepler had also looked at golden rhombuses—and had found the rhombic triacontahedron, and drew a nice picture of it in his book, right next to the rhombic dodecahedron: By 1850 it was known that there were basically only 14 possible such geometries; among them is one based on the rhombic dodecahedron. A notable feature of these geometries is that they all have specific two-, three-, four- or six-fold symmetries—essentially a consequence of the fact that only certain polyhedra can tessellate space, much as in 2D the only regular polygons that can tile the plane are squares, triangles and hexagons. There was another first-time champion in the B League competition at the Innes Bar as Raigmore’s Shaun Morrison defeated Dave King from Innes X, 3-1, in the final. Completing the last four were Graham Buchan and Daniel Mullen from Legion CSE along with Kevin Maclean and Grant Morrison of Culloden Moor Inn, who were the 2017 champions.

But what about other polyhedra? In the 4th century AD, Pappus wrote that a couple of centuries earlier, Archimedes had discovered 13 other “regular polyhedra”—presumably what are now called the Archimedean solids—though the details were lost. And for a thousand years little more seems to have been done with polyhedra. But in the 1400s, with the Renaissance starting up, polyhedra were suddenly in vogue again. People like Leonardo da Vinci and Albrecht Dürer routinely used them in art and design, rediscovering some of the Archimedean solids—as well as finding some entirely new polyhedra, like the icosidodecahedron. What is a rhombic hexecontahedron? It’s called a “hexecontahedron” because it has 60 faces, and ἑξηκοντα (hexeconta) is the Greek word for 60. (Yes, the correct spelling is with an “e”, not an “a”.) It’s called “rhombic” because each of its faces is a rhombus. Actually, its faces are golden rhombuses, so named because their diagonals are in the golden ratio ≃ 1.618: Platonic solids were used for dice and ornaments. But they were also given a central role in thinking about nature, with Plato for example suggesting that perhaps everything could in some sense be made of them: earth of cubes, air of octahedra, water of icosahedra, fire of tetrahedra, and the heavens (“ether”) of dodecahedra. How did he actually “derive” the rhombic hexecontahedron? Basically, he started from a dodecahedron, and identified its two types of symmetry planes: Our longtime art director Jeremy Davis came up with a solution: take one Spikey, but “idealize” it, using just its “skeleton”. It wasn’t hard to decide to start from the rhombic hexecontahedron. But then we flattened it (with the best ratios, of course)—and finally ended up with the first implementation of our now-familiar logo:

Spiked? - Royal Holloway, University of London

On Wednesday, we hostedan open conversation on student safety within Tommy’s Lounge.This wasan opportunity to have an honest discussion about safety on campus and within our venues and the action you wanted to see taken. Thank you to everyone who came down and got involved - following the conversation we'll be looking to build a working group,including students, to progress the initiatives discussed.As most of the drugs are in liquid form a straw does not offer protection in any type of drink. The drugs are added either by Eye Dropper - Jif Lemon Squeegee or Decongestant spray allowing the drug to go down the straw or down the side making the drug more dangerous as the recipient gets the drug neat which can be fatal.

If you have a hearing or speech impairment, you can use the Police's textphone service 18000 or text999 if you’ve pre-registered with the emergencySMS service. The top two sides in the B League have identical records with three wins and a defeat each, both sitting on 6 points after this weeks matches. Legion CSE took out the Raigmore 9-3 and Innes Bar defeated Innes X 8-4 in the derby match. And, yes, the middle of step 3 in this sequence looks rather like our flattened Spikey. But it’s not exactly right; the aspect ratios of the outer rhombuses are off. League darts took a break in the City Taxi Inverness Summer Darts League this week as fifty pairs contested this year’s A, B and C League Pairs competitions at three venues throughout the City.
