If things don't go well for you, there is always a FROG somewhere which has it much, much worse
Frogs are marvelous examples of complete adaptation to their surroundings: it may be cold, wet and miserable, but a frog would always feel in its element, and would not mind at all. Good nature photographers, however, are always able to capture frogs in their "moments of weakness", displaying all kinds of emotions. Here is a small compilation of such unique frog perspectives on Life, the Universe and Everything - desined to amuse and enlighten our autumn-dampened spirits.

Counting boards are the earliest known form of a counting device (excluding fingers and other very simple methods). They were made from natural material such as stone or wood, and the actual counting was done on the board with beads, pebbles, or even colored sand. Not many of these boards survive today because of the perishable materials used in their construction. The oldest known example of a counting board was discovered on the Greek Island of island of Salamis in 18992. It is thought to have been used by the Babylonians in about 300 B.C. and is more of a gaming board rather than a calculating device. The gaming boards used by ancient cultures such as the Babylonians and the Romans are thought to be the precursors of the Abacus. The Salamis tablet is approximately 150 x 75 x 4.5 cm and is made of marble. Parallel grooves and Greek symbols are carved into it1.
