David Thompson Bicentennials Scientific Explorer More than just a fur trader, thompson was a great surveyor as Cartographer - david thompson was perhaps the worlds foremost land http://www.davidthompson200.ca/davidthompson.html
Extractions: Samuel Hearn Alexander Mackenzie Alexander Mackenzie Simon Fraser David Thompson Wilson Price Hunt Jedediah Smith As exploration historian David Malaher points out, once these expeditions had been completed, travelers began covering routes already well defined by those before them. Other figures, such as Peter Fidler, also deserve consideration in terms of large scale contributions to exploration and cartography. Scientific Explorer - More than just a fur trader, Thompson was a great surveyor as well as an explorer. While best known for his trans-mountain explorations, Thompson spent 28 years exploring more than 90,000 kilometres (55,000 miles) of northwestern North America. Thompson and Aboriginal Peoples - Thompson and other European explorers followed the routes established over thousands of years by Aboriginal peoples. These explorations would not have been possible without the cooperation of these peoples. Thompson appears to have gained the respect of most First Nations. He was given the name "Koo Koo Sint" (Star Gazer) by the Salish-Flathead peoples, since he habitually performed his astronomical observations at the end of the day. However, not all of Thompson’s dealings with Aboriginal peoples proved ultimately positive. Thompson's explorations pushed both cultural and national boundaries. His mountain crossings were pivotal events for western Aboriginal peoples - the start of fundamental changes with many negative connotations.

Extractions: David Spangler is probably best known for his work as co-director and spokesperson for the Findhorn Community in northern Scotland. He has lectured widely on spiritual philosophy, personal development, futures studies, and community development. David's books include Emergence: The Rebirth of the Sacred; and, most recently, Reimagination of the World: A Critique of the New Age, Science, and Popular Culture (which he co-authored with William Irwin Thompson). In the fall, Bantam will be publishing Manifestation: the Inner Art. James Morton, dean of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City, once described David as "a highly regarded advocate of spiritual empowerment" who is "both down-to-earth and a genuine mystic." He describes himself as a "household contemplative," admittedly fond of chocolate and computer games, although not necessarily in that order. I would describe him as one of the more holistic philosophers I know.

Extractions: DAVID THOMSON, THE SCOTTISH FOUNDER OF NEW HAMPSHIRE... A GENTLEMAN, AND A SCHOLAR by Genevieve Cora Fraser PART 2 In 1622, David Thomson was referred to as a "gentleman" in at least two legal documents, the Indenture where he is styled " Dauid Thomson of Plymouth in the County of devon gentleman of those Parte ," and in the grant for Massachusetts signed by Ludvick, the Duke of Lennox; the Marquis of Hamilton; Thomas Howard, the Earl of Arundell and Surrey and others. As was noted, these individuals acting on behalf of the Council for New England " deputized, authorized and appointed, and in our place and stead have put David Thomson, Gent.,... to be our true and lawful attorney ..." (47) Earlier that year, Thomson was "appointed to attend the Lords, for a warrant to Mr. Attorney-General." In the introduction to the "Reports of Sir George Croke, Knight," we learn that the Attorney General at the time was Sir Thomas Coventry. Though Croke’s report primarily focuses on the reign of Charles the First, the documents cited make perfectly clear that any individual who pretends a "right to beare Armes, or Ensignes of gentry" might find himself hauled off to court to "disclayme the name and style of gentleman." Typically a judge might order the Defendent to attend the King of Arms, and the Officers of Arms, to inform them of "the truth and his right in the pedigree exhibited by him at Court, that the court might receive from them a certificate accordingly."

While everyone else was watching the satellites , he found the rest of the sky fascinating. He also became interested in physics, because that is the science of how things work. After doing undergraduate work in physics at Johns Hopkins University, he started grad school at the University of Maryland. As a teaching assistant, he met Steve Holt and Carl Fichtel, astrophysicists with Goddard's Laboratory for High Energy Astrophysics. They made high energy astrophysics interesting enough that Dave went to Goddard to do his thesis work. Dave Thompson's thesis research used a balloon-borne gamma-ray telescope to study gamma rays produced by cosmic ray particle interactions in the Earth's upper atmosphere . He spent quite a bit of time flying scientific balloons from Palestine, Texas (enough time that he met and married a native of that town). Tell me more about Dr. Thompson's thesis research!

What does a globalized world look like? Despite the extensive discussion on globalization and international interdependence, we still have a relatively limited idea of what this new world looks like. We understand that there are more international connections taking place, that a wider variety of goods and services are being exchanged across boundaries, that more and more people live their professional, family, and intellectual lives in more than one country, and that cultural autarky is no longer possible. Yet, we know little more than that. How fast have we integrated? What does the global web look like? Who is in the center and who is on the margins? Have these positions shifted over the past two decades? The combination of various network data sets and analyses would allow us to link network position in a particular field (e.g. telecommunications) with that in another (e.g. migration). With longitudinal data, we could begin to explore the extent to which position in a particular network could explain or predict subsequent position in another. By adding non-network data such as economic growth rates, policy votes, or cultural trends, we could also test the explanatory power of network position in and of itself. These efforts would allow us to begin addressing some of the most important questions in contemporary social science:

Extractions: Motivation globaloney ?), but very much a real and significant phenomenon. Network analysis is perfectly suited to these types of questions and represents the best metaphor for the new global system (Castells 1996). Unlike other metatheoretical approaches, network analysis assumes a multipolar social world (Knoke and Kuklinski 1982). While most other methods consider hierarchical relationships in pyramidal forms, network analysis can define them in an infinite variety of geometric shapesprecisely what one may expect from a global web. Network analysis can tell us the relative density of global connections, the relative strength of ties between countries and regions, and the extent to which these have changed over the past two decades. The combination of various network data sets and analyses would allow us to link network position in a particular field (e.g. telecommunications) with that in another (e.g. migration).

By adding non-network data such as economic growth rates, policy votes, or cultural trends, we could also test the explanatory power of network position in and of itself.

Extractions: Teacher's Corner Contents A river is water in its loveliest form, rivers have life and sound and movement and infinity of variation, rivers are veins of the earth through which the life blood returns to the heart. Roderick Haig-Brown, the author of these lines, lived on Canada's West Coast. He could not imagine life without his beloved rivers. For water is life. Without it, we cannot exist, nor can any of the other forms of life with which we share the planet. That should be reason enough to value water as one of the most precious riches that the earth provides. But water gives more than life; water contributes meaning to our lives, as an essential part of what makes life worthwhile. "Meaning" cannot be measured and classified, but it can be expressed in art. Writers, artists and musicians have been inspired by water, using their works as media for communicating its more abstract value. Indeed, water's value to the human spirit has been celebrated throughout the history of the world. One of the planet's earliest civilizations, known as Sumer, had celebrations exalting water and the life it supports. Many ancient artifacts have been discovered which reveal this long-time recognition of the renewing properties of water. One such work of art is a 4 500 year old sculpture depicting an ancient prince named Gudea holding a bowl from which flows a stream rich in fish. Literature, too, is full of references to the importance of water. For two thousand years the passage "He leadeth me beside the still waters, He restoreth my soul" has often been quoted from inspirational literature.
