101. A Century Of Physics Eight major discoveries made in physics plus a summary of the centennial celebration of the american Physical Society. http://www.jupiterscientific.org/sciinfo/apscentennial.html

Report on a Century of Discoveries in Physics and on this Year's Centennial Meeting of the American Physical Society Index of Topics A Century of Discoveries in Physics The Unraveling of the Microscopic Constituents of Matter Quantum Mechanics The Discovery of the Vastness of the Universe ... The APS in the Past and as of Today A Century of Discoveries in Physics Given that 1999 is the 100th anniversary of the APS and the last year of the second millennium, it is worth enumerating the seven great physics achievements of the 20th century, achievements that have transformed the way that humanity views the universe: The Unraveling of the Microscopic Constituents of Matter "It is the nature of the World that small things make up larger things and that even smaller things make up the small." From the Book of Subnuclear Physics of The Bible According to Einstein The concept of the atom had been hypothesized by Greeks two-and-half millennia ago. By the nineteenth century, the existence of atoms had been indirectly established. But the picture of the atom then was very different from that of today. In the nineteenth century, the atom was thought be a spherical blob of more-or-less uniform density. Nowadays, it is known that the atom possesses considerable structure: it consists of a tiny, heavy nucleus around which light-weight, negatively charged electrons swarm. The name atom, which means "indivisible," has become a misnomer the atom is not the most fundamental building block since it is constructed out of smaller units. Furthermore, the nucleus is composed of protons and neutrons, both of which weigh almost 2000 times the weight of an electron. As their names imply, the proton is positively charged while the neutron is neutral, having no electric charge. By the way, it was only in 1897 (two years before the founding of the American Physical Society) that the existence of the electron was established; previously, electricity was thought to be the flow of a liquid rather than of microscopic particles.

His naturalism and emphasis on creative imagination were harbingers of important intellectual turns on both sides of the Atlantic. He was a naturalist before naturalism grew popular; he appreciated multiple perfections before multiculturalism became an issue; he thought of philosophy as literature before it became a theme in American and European scholarly circles; and he managed to naturalize Platonism, update Aristotle, fight off idealisms, and provide a striking and sensitive account of the spiritual life without being a religious believer. His Hispanic heritage, shaded by his sense of being an outsider in America, captures many qualities of American life missed by insiders, and presents views equal to Tocqueville in quality and importance. Beyond philosophy, only Emerson may match his literary production. As a public figure, he appeared on the front cover of Time (3 February 1936), and his autobiography (

117. INTRODUCTION Manuel L.Ponte shares his photographs and recollections about an Azorean family and its migration to the american Midwest in the 20th century. http://www.geocities.com/azorean/Index.html

AN AZOREAN IN MID AMERICA AN AZOREAN IN MID AMERICA I saw my first map of the United States in the warehouse of the Socony-Vacuum Oil Company on St. Michael's Island, in the Azores, where my father worked between 1936 and the time he came to America (1944). I was about eight years old. Since America had held a fascination for me, for it was always a topic of conversation at our house, I looked for some point where I could find such places as Cambridge, Fall River, and Somerville. I never found them. Instead, I did find cities like Boston, New York, Chicago, and one where two rivers met, St. Louis. Although I had never seen a river, for there are no rivers in the Azores, I knew how they were presented on maps. That city's name, however, did hold my interest, for the saint it was named after had the same name as my middle name. I never knew, however, that someday it would be my home, or that there'd be a time when I'd be speaking English over one of its radio stations, WGNU . Being an Azorean in the Midwest is not easy. Often I not only have to explain where the Azores are, but that Portugal is not a part of Spain. On the other hand, as one can see by the pictures of my home, being a "midwesterner" - even an adopted one - has its advantage. All one has to do is look around and see why very often I feel regretful if I have to leave here to visit elsewhere. In any case, let the pages that follow tell a bit more about myself, my family, my friends, my hobbies, and all those other things that are really dear to me. Thanks to them, I feel quite rich. Please, therefore, read or click on....

SIL Electronic Working Papers 2001-001, May 2001 Reminiscences by Pike on Early American Anthropological Linguistics By Kenneth L. Pike SIL International COMMENT FROM THE EDITOR OF SILEWP This is the last academic paper that Ken Pike wrote shortly before his death on December 31, 2000 at age 88. In October 1999 the editor of American Anthropologist AA Contents Abstract Early Mentors At the University of Michigan Major Shifts in Twentieth Century American Anthropology ... References Cited Abstract [by the Editor of SILEWP] In this essay, Pike reviews where, in his view, linguistic anthropology was in the past, where it is now, and where it may lead in the future. He describes how he got into linguistics in the 1930s, and then reminisces about his personal interactions with the godfathers of American structural linguistics: Bloomfield, Sapir, Fries, Bloch, Hockett, Nida, Swadesh, Trager, Voegelin, and others. He describes how his theory of tagmemics evolved, as well as his emic/etic concept; and he tells of the abrupt changes that came in American linguistics with the rise of Chomsky and transformational linguistics. Early Mentors Mayan Studies I Phonetics Morphology In the spring of 1937, using a cane to start with, I walked for a month from the highlands of the Mixtec area (8,300 feet above sea level) to the coast, to survey other Mixtec-related linguistic needs on the way.
