They provide the information necessary to understand the posts. If you are new to this blog, you may wish to start with the earliest post to see the progression in the sequence of events] VaEra and Bo will be combined because they both deal with the plagues in Egypt. Pharaoh was the great pretender. The next warning however is somewhat different in that Moses went to Pharaoh directly in his home in order to provide him with warning.
The third "warning” was still different, in that there was no warning for the coming plague at all. In these first 3 plagues we see a pattern. The 4th, 5th and 6th plague repeat the same pattern. As you might suspect, this pattern continues through the next set of plagues. Interesting pattern! The 10th plague was the death of the first born.

Skew the motif asymmetrically. Set the number of times each line is substituted for the motif. Segment the motif into more or fewer pieces of equal length. Change the base shape the fractal is drawn on. Add lines that stick out from the motif's corners. Mirror the motif at every level of the fractal.

“Slide-togethers” based on squares, triangles, pentagons, and decagons Introduction This activity consists of seven attractive constructions which are fun and relatively easy to make because one simply cuts out paper pieces and slides them together. Each “slide-together” is made from identical copies of a single type of regular polygon (e.g., just squares or just triangles) with slits cut at the proper locations. “Slide-togethers” based on hexagons, decagrams, and pentagrams.

The drawings created typically are Lissajous curves, or related drawings of greater complexity. The devices, which began to appear in the mid-19th century and peaked in popularity in the 1890s, cannot be conclusively attributed to a single person, although Hugh Blackburn, a professor of mathematics at the University of Glasgow, is commonly believed to be the official inventor.[1] A simple, so-called "lateral" harmonograph uses two pendulums to control the movement of a pen relative to a drawing surface. One pendulum moves the pen back and forth along one axis and the other pendulum moves the drawing surface back and forth along a perpendicular axis.
A particular type of harmonograph, a pintograph, is based on the relative motion of two rotating disks, as illustrated in the links below.
