Vanitas: Guess my remote viewing was off, could've sworn I saw a person prying your fingers off the keyboard.

No, you were right! And I was that person.

See? You DO see too much!

I guess not...
And this apparently does not belong on the ATS Education forum, either.

Knock me over with a feather...

Where are all of the world hunger helpers? It only takes a few minutes and it's educational, too!

Good question, Elfie.

I guess they are at ATS, as usually.
Which is why I believed, and still do, this thread belong there - not here.
this is not about "interesting websites": it is a very real "alternative" way of teaching/learning.

Anyway, I just wanted to say I've stumbled upon a totally new batch of pictures in the ART section!
(I mean, how many Pisarros can you go through until you start throwing up...? )

I completely agree with you, it goes beyond interesting. It's a great thread, it's informative, and one that offers a solution to such a devastating problem in the world. ATS would be a better exposure for such a pressing need.

(Mind you I donate to Oxfam, as well). Being able to contribute while learning at the same time is a very unique approach that deserves attention!

Have added another 2,500 + to the stores.

Thanks, I will look into the ART. (I could do with a little more BTS knowledge). Pissaro's okay -- similar to Renoir, for me at least. I prefer Monet, Manet, Degas, Gauguin, George Inness, John Singer Sargent, Klimt, Kandinsky...more for the other thread.

Love the site, one of my most visited this past week

Yay! How are you doing? Still quite a challenge here. Which is your favorite subject?

Love the art section, I didn't even notice it before Vanitas mentioned it. Thought it was BTS Art she was discussing. lol

Okay. Some quick calculations based on info from the FreeRice.com site:

1 gram = 48 grains of rice
28.34 grams = 1 ounce = 1360.32 grains of rice
16 ounces = 1 pound = 21765.12 grains of rice

I've just won 500 grains of rice for grammar
100 for geography
600 for art

It's very late and I have to stop now. I'll have another go tomorrow.
