  1. #MythologyMonday #baths #story

    I once heard a story, I think it was from the #Buddhist tradition. All I remember is this:

    It involved a man fleeing enemies and crossing a pool in a forest, and the magic pool changed him into a woman. He/she lived as a woman for several years, before somehow inadvertently bathing in the same pool again, and becoming a man again, and resuming his old life.

    Sound familiar? If anyone knows it or can help me track it down, that would be appreciated.

  3. #MythologyMonday #Baths

    King David was wandering on his roof one evening, and from this vantage point he saw a beautiful woman bathing. He asked his servants about her. She was Bathsheba, wife of Uriah the Hittite, who was off fighting a war. David sent for her and slept with her that night. She later sent word to him that she was pregnant.

    King David then honoured Uriah, before sending him back to battle, and sending word to Joab, his general, that Uriah should be sent to the fiercest fighting, and left on his own. So it was, and Uriah was among the fallen in the battle. When the period of mourning was over, David sent for Bathsheba and married her and she bore him a son.

    It's good to be the king. (God wasn't happy about this, but that's another story.)

    The #ancient #Roman #city of #Pompeii at the Gulf of #Naples offers remarkably #wellpreserved #insights into #dailylife before it was buried by Mount #Vesuvius in 79 AD. G. Sürmelihindi et al. (2026) investigated the #carbonate #incrustations in the #baths, the #aqueduct, and in #wells, with the latter being replaced by the penultimate as #technical #improvement. The periodicity of #δ13C variations from wells and republican #pools indicated poor #hygienicconditions.

  9. Roman #Tubuli and #ancientwallheating
    This week we present #roman finds from an #excavation in Lower #Austria: Roman tubuli (#Tubulus). These hollow bricks are key to #ancienttechnique, built into walls to circulate hot air. Together with the #Hypokaustum, they created heated rooms, especially in Roman #baths. #Romanarchaeology #archaeology

  11. Baths just released a special 15th-anniversary edition of Cerulean, featuring remasters, remixes, and rarities.
    Check it out here: bathsmusic.bandcamp.com/album/ #Baths is one of my favorite artists, and I’m so excited to spend the next few hours listening to this album again.

  13. Delighted to be welcoming visitors for @Glasgowdodf to the Arlington Baths Club! Especially to show off our new exhibition about 150 years of our Turkish bath, along with info panels from @VicTurkBath telling the story of #Turkish #baths in the UK and Ireland. #DoorsOpen

  14. Budapest, 1973. A very typical Budapest scene in many ways: a group of men gathered around a chessboard in one of the several thermal baths that can be found there. See if you can see some serious 1970s sideburns on display too!

    Another fine Sándor Kereki photo of everyday Hungarians in mid-Communist regime days.

  15. I give you, the country's most obscure bath. Snapped today in Mangakotukutuku Gulley in Kirikiroa.

  17. 1964, Budapest. One of the few, and most accessible, visible reminders of the Turkish occupation of Buda (1541-1684), is the King Baths [Király fürdő] in Buda. They are located on the main road that runs parallel to the Danube on the Buda side and are an easy walk for any tourist. Built in 1565, they are closed at the moment for restoration.

  23. A couple of hours off low tide and waves still occasionally splashed over the back wall of the Baths.

  24. Still thinking about the Warm Springs Pools in Bath County, VA from this past weekend. My bucket list includes a lot of thermal #baths, #HotSprings, and #onsen. Feel free to add suggested soaks.

  26. The rich marbles and the hot baths of the Mediterranean; in the Western tradition of luxury these most ancient of touches remain some of the most enticing, especially for a pretty girl on a cold midwinter's day, like in Lawrence Alma-Tadema's "Tepidarium".

  27. The architects, interiors people and construction did a fantastic job on this place. But how an un-economically sustainable business that shut out the public from the public baths was ever allowed go in there is beyond me. Hopefully it will be resurrected as something more than another gated-space homage to the Celtic Tiger era #Clontarf #Dublin #baths #publicSpace

  28. The sky above the Baths this morning. I love floating and looking up at the patterns the clouds mak on days like this.

  29. Kicking us off on our first session of the morning was Matt Parker @standupmaths who shared how he's planning to break the world record for the most digits of π calculated by hand, for next π day (see his other attempts here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLht). We also heard from Bob Huxley, who has also been thinking about π day, but this time on Mars where it turns out it's actually tomorrow! Annette Margolis then talked about her class' favourite (and least favourite) way to solve quadratic equations. John Hoskinson discussed Diffy Squares (mathforlove.com/2020/03/diffy-) and adapted them to generalised diffy N-gons - for odd N, you get repeating cycles! Nobody has ever said the word 'diffy' more times in the space of 5 minutes. Alistair Bird @outofthenorm shared about a mathematician who got inspired in the bath (but not that one), and what his discovery meant (turns out, not much, but it did inspire some nice results around Fermat's Last Theorem). Read more here: outofthenormmaths.wordpress.co Adam Atkinson talked about Misère Games, leading to his discovery of just how many semigroups of order 8 there are, inducting us all into membership of DOCTIAL (the Department of 'Crikey! That Is A Lot!'); and finally Harlan Connor got LOUD about signal processing - it's possible to have peaks in audio volume that are higher than the maximum value the system can store! #mathsjam #maths #pi #worldrecords #mars #piday #quadraticequations #classwork #teaching #diffysquares #baths #inspiration #misèregames #doctial #loud #signalprocessing #groups #monoids #semigroups #combinatorialgametheory
