Dog has kitten

A dog has become a local celebrity in a Chinese village after she reportedly gave birth to a kitten.

Hua Chengpeng, of Huayang village, Jiangyan city, told People's Daily that the unlikely animal was the third 'puppy' in his pet's litter.

"The first two puppies the dog produced were both normal, but when the third baby came, the whole family was very surprised to see a cat-like creature. It is a cat, not a dog at all," he said.

Local residents have been flocking to his house to see the 'kitten' which local vets say is really a puppy which looks like a cat because of a gene mutation. It apparently yaps like a puppy.

Hua says his son brought the dog home from Liaoning city, where he had been working, a year ago.

Simulation of the Antikythera Mechanism
The Antikythera Mechanism was discovered in a wreck near the island of Antikythera (hence its name). A detailed
description of the device, which is considered the first computer ever made, is given in a historical article of Derek
da Solla Price, who devoted most of his life in deciphering its workings.

The .MOV animations of the device given here, come from a simulation of the mechanism. The colors of the gears
have no significance whatsoever. They are used for illustration purposes only.

RESUME Bernard Gardner
My honours project was Three dimensional analysis of x-ray images of the Antikythera Mechanism, an attempt to provide a
non-invasive method for deducing the internal structure of an ancient Greek geared mechanism. The project used Computer
analysis of scanned x-rays to try to produce a three-dimensional image of the internals of the mechanism. This information was
desired to aid in the understanding of the original function of the mechanism, the earliest known example of a geared
mechanism, which appears to date from the 1st century BC.

The Antikythera Mechanism
Bernard Gardner

              In 1993, I was an Honours Student in Computer Science, studying at the Basser
         Department of Computer Science at Sydney University. My thesis supervisor, Allan
         Bromley had an interest in the Antikythera Mechanism, and so I embarked on a project
         to analyse his X-Ray images of the mechanism, and attempt to produce a 3D model of
         the gear trains inside the mechanism.

At the time, the mechanism was relatively unknown, but as interest seems to have
bloomed recently, I present here online my thesis.

                       the apple and others that it is a statue of Perseus holding Andromeda's head (340 B.C). It was
                       found in a ship wreckage near Antikythera in 1900.

A Very Brief History of Computer Science
The ancient Greeks developed some very sophisticated analog computers.
In 1901, an ancient Greek shipwreck was discovered off the island of Antikythera.

Antikythera
The tiny island of Antikythera (pop.150), 38 km. south-east of Kythera, is the most remote island in the Aegean Sea and
definitely one for the reclusive. It has one settlement (Potamos), one doctor, one police officer, one teacher (with a few pupils),
one phone and one monastery. There is no post office or bank. You can find a cafe and a restaurant.

Fractions, Cycles, and Time
     The so-called Antikythera mechanism, apparently constructed in the first century B.C., recovered in 1900 from a
     Mediterranean shipwreck, and analyzed just a few decades ago, is one of the most striking examples of such
     engineering in the ancient world. It contained a system of gears whose gear ratios corresponded to well-known
     astronomical cycles involving the moon, including the Metonic cycle. The mechanism was clearly a type of analog
     computer, using fixed gear ratios to make calculations displayed as pointer readings on a dial.
