Fwd: more PR for the __ribs__ mnemonic vis-a-vis "special names"

Below: some followup from Google Plus, to my little videos. Joe Snyder is a retired veterinarian and fellow Friend (Quaker) whom I see at our Meeting ("church") sometimes. Here's a blog post with all three videos, for anyone interested: http://controlroom.blogspot.com/2015/10/pythons-ribs-special-names.html Also, I've been promoting edu-sig on python-cuba-wg, the connection being somewhat tenuous: when I held a competition around Python and generating Pi to a thousand places, way back in 2011, a student at University of Havana won. Now here we are in 2015, revisiting yet another way to converge to Pi, thanks to this generator we talked about last month. https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-cuba/2015-October/000124.html Kirby ================ Joe Snyder Yesterday 1:51 PM So nice pictures, but I'm clueless about the lesson. Thanks for trying. Curious that after your presentation, it wants to show me a lot of yucky videos of various large snakes attacking and eating things. Hmmmm Kirby Urner 8:14 AM Yeah, Youtube tends to be sensationalist around snakes. The computer language was named for Monty Python (which was named for?). However, as shown, I take good advantage of snake anatomy by inventing __ribs__ as terminology for what in the language we call "special name" (they have this underline thing going, two __ on each side). The three videos, each < 5 mins, form a triptych. Maybe enlightenment will come somewhere in the middle. :-D https://youtu.be/lwDfvdUxuQc (special names) https://youtu.be/nOzMG-cPWnc (giving birth) https://youtu.be/9pxshtSJI8E (touching on inheritance) More depth: http://controlroom.blogspot.com/2015/10/integrated-learning.html Great to have an animal vet check my presentation on Python __ribs__, couldn't ask for a better form of peer review, even if it's hard to make head or tail, coming into it cold. (I was asked to audition by a commercial training provider: "Don't over-think it, type and talk at the same time, no editing". Having done one, I couldn't resist tying off some loose ends).
