Even if you are not an accountant you will be used to seeing simply enormous numbers when you search the Internet for information.Big numbers indicate ordinary and commonplace, while small numbers mean special and collectors' items. So I present to you the blog title that was a gift from Sharon Scott at the Dispute Resolution Foundation (DRF). It is undoubtedly specialShe wrote it down for me on a sticky note compliments of a pharmaceutical company making "Rhinocort". Rhinocort was unknown to me, but my Google search found 2,260,000 hits in only 0.14 seconds."No, I'm not a rhinocort, I'm a cross rhino".There just must be a terrible lot of data stored on the Internet and there would be no space left on planet earth if we were still using punched cards to store information. But think of all the jobs created for those who had to move the punched cards around. Picture all the tractor trailer loads of punched cards all containing the word Rhinocort that drove up to Google's computer and would be needed to answer the question I posed on a whim.There are fewer hits when you search for special phrase like this blog title - just the first one I found on the Internet, and the second one on this blog. So it was unique, and now it's as close to unique as makes no difference. http://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20010920/star/star2.htmlYou may be able to use it to change your life. No guarantees, but read on anyway.No plait sand an' stone breeze in this picture if you just imagine all the paperwork involved for dispute hearings starting in less than two hours time that are lying on Sharon's desk, and out of the camera's line of vision.No plait sand an' stone breeze is visible here. Maybe Vivienne has hid them in her plastic garbage bag? She can breeze around the office pretty fast though. Maybe that's 1/4th of the solution to the puzzle.Ironically the person closest to the answer to the blog title's meaning remains off camera and hides the secret; and maybe even more so when he writes the blog in the evenings. But end of unknowings about plait sand an' stone breeze soon come.So without further ado, here is a way you can solve the meaning of the phrase in a step-by-step approach.1) Identify the terms you know and don't worry about the others.2) Conclude where you might find all those terms together - hint, it's at a beach.3) Go the beach, sit down, and wonder what you will do next.4) Feel the breeze in your face and on a whim chuck a small nearby stone into it.5) Your other hand has unconsciously been running through the sand making little patterns, like plaiting or braiding your hair.6) Relax and do this for a few hours without a care in the world.7) You have successfully "plait sand" in (5) and "stone breeze" in (4).8) Apart from the help in (1) to (3) everything else will come naturally if you're in the right frame of mind
