No. 894 INVENTING PRINTING by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 894. So: How did we really figure out how to print words on paper? The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. T he oldest known piece of paper was made in Shangsi Province in China around 49 BC. That's about the same time sheepskin was replacing papyrus in the Roman world. So what is paper, really? You make paper by spreading out a slurry of organic fibers and draining off the water. Paper is a kind of felt made of overlapping fibers. At first the Chinese made paper from hemp. They used it for wrapping and decoration not for writing. They'd already been wrapping themselves in felt clothing. In AD 105, one Ts'ai Lun used paper to replace bamboo blocks as a writing surface. He made it from fibers of bark, bamboo, and hemp. By AD 500, the Chinese had experimented with rattan and mulberry and had finally settled on bamboo paper.

Parenting for an Age of Information Chapter One - Inventing The sandbox is not what it used to be - neither is the back yard, the family room or the school down the street. Raising a son or daughter in these times calls for parents with skill, humor and inventiveness. While today's schools stagger under escalating criticism, conscientious parents find themselves filling in the blanks, providing their children with enriched learning excursions to offset the ditto sheet diets and dreary offerings that characterize too many of today's educational cafeterias. When change and new technologies sweep through our society, the challenge facing parents can be awesome. Will this newest bandwagon keep curiosity and a sense of wonder alive in our children? How do we raise this generation to greet the next century with flexibility, imagination and a resourceful spirit? As change becomes a constant, we need a generation which views change as an adventure, an opportunity and a benefit. We must raise a generation which has embraced a change ethic . They will thrive on change, considering it an opportunity to stretch out into the future and grow. Flexibility and problem solving can replace the GNP as the new indicators of growth of our society. Creating and responding to opportunities is an essential skill in our world today, in much the same way reading was in the eighteenth century.

Inventing a Crisis postCount('120704'); SYNOPSIS: Privatizing Social Security - replacing the current system, in whole or in part, with personal investment accounts - won't do anything to strengthen the system's finances. If anything, it will make things worse. Nonetheless, the politics of privatization depend crucially on convincing the public that the system is in imminent danger of collapse, that we must destroy Social Security in order to save it. I'll have a lot to say about all this when I return on my regular schedule in January. But right now it seems important to take a break from my break, and debunk the hype about a Social Security crisis. There's nothing strange or mysterious about how Social Security works: it's just a government program supported by a dedicated tax on payroll earnings, just as highway maintenance is supported by a dedicated tax on gasoline. Right now the revenues from the payroll tax exceed the amount paid out in benefits. This is deliberate, the result of a payroll tax increase - recommended by none other than Alan Greenspan - two decades ago. His justification at the time for raising a tax that falls mainly on lower- and middle-income families, even though Ronald Reagan had just cut the taxes that fall mainly on the very well-off, was that the extra revenue was needed to build up a trust fund. This could be drawn on to pay benefits once the baby boomers began to retire. The grain of truth in claims of a Social Security crisis is that this tax increase wasn't quite big enough. Projections in a recent report by the Congressional Budget Office (which are probably more realistic than the very cautious projections of the Social Security Administration) say that the trust fund will run out in 2052. The system won't become "bankrupt" at that point; even after the trust fund is gone, Social Security revenues will cover 81 percent of the promised benefits. Still, there is a long-run financing problem.

Special Reports SERVICES Video E-mail Newsletters CNNtoGO SEARCH Web CNN.com Overview Interactive Quiz Inventing against the odds Latest test: Spark young blacks' passion for science By Greg Botelho CNN New York Bureau A painting of black scientist George Washington Carver, one of America's most prolific inventors. Story Tools (CNN) Take a bite out of your peanut butter sandwich, stop at the traffic signal, then turn left onto Pennsylvania Avenue as you explore Washington, D.C. And don't forget to thank the African-American inventors specifically George Washington Carver (who created dozens of peanut-related products), Garrett Morgan (the man behind the modern stop light) and Benjamin Banneker (mathematician, astronomer and key architect of the nation's capital) who made it possible. These men, and their innovations, aren't the only ones deserving of gratitude. From hands-on creations like pencil sharpeners and golf tees, to less tangible but no less important advancements such as refining sugar and storing blood, black inventors have profoundly impacted our day-to-day lives. That said, it has not been easy for black innovators. Slaves were considered property, not free people who could create and market inventions. Even given a post-Civil War boom of African Americans seeking patents, blacks have long struggled to get jobs, education and recognition.

Inventing Barbie "New for '59, the BARBIE doll: A shapely teenage fashion Model! Retail price $3.00..." Barbie appeared at a time when the term "teenager" was a "new and rather sexy one"(Wolff 24). The country had been through two world wars and a depression, and the fifties presented a time for young adults to come into the limelight. But it was questionable whether or not the American public was ready for a doll with a woman's figure. At her debut she received mixed reviews. Some condemned Barbie and her black- and-white swimsuit for being too "scary, sleazy, and spellbinding"( ; the facial paint on the earliest dolls was very heavy, and her almond-shaped, sharp, sideglances that were not suitable to join the cute, baby-faced Ginny dolls or appropriate alongside the fragile, refined Madame Alexander doll market. Others, however, saw her as "sunshine, Tomorrowland, the future made plastic"(Lord 43) with a fresh face and fashions to fit every girl's daydreams. Over the next few years, these healthy fantasies would prove to be increasingly attractive to parents. Her earliest fashions adhered to the philosophy "the doll sells the clothes and the clothes sell the doll"(West 26). When Ruth first met with Charlotte Johnson, the designer who would create Barbie's ensembles for the next twenty years, she explicitly wanted a "bridal gown, tennis dress, ballerina outfit, and something for a football game"(Westenhouser 12), but those were only the basics. Along with these appeared sleepwear for slumber parties, which were favorites of young girls, as well as homemaking and hygiene-influenced designs. These provided the "pleasant and cheerful experience" of "Barbie-Q" to which Charlotte soon added the "elegance and style" of "Gay Parisienne"(Billy Boy 25)

Between 1899 and 1905, the Wright brothers conducted a program of aeronautical research and experimentation that led to the first successful powered airplane in 1903 and a refined, practical flying machine two years later. All successful airplanes since then have incorporated the basic design elements of the 1903 Wright Flyer. The genius of Wilbur and Orville lay not only in the singular act of getting a flying machine into the air, but also in the approach they evolved and employed to create the technology of flight. Their method of evaluating data gathered by testing an aircraft in flight, then refining the design based on those results, remains an essential tool in aerospace research and development.

home subscribe about us books ... feedback Counter Punch March 21, 2003 America's Wars Inventing Demons By PHILIP S. GOLUB T here is a coalition of the radical right in the United States, including the odd Democrat, that has long held that patriotic mobilisation is important in holding American society together. When detente broke out in the 1970s, these hawks worried about any reduction in international tension, however slight. Since 11 September 2001 they have had no more worries. The neo-conservative right has been attempting, with varying success, to establish itself as the dominant ideological force in the United States for more than 25 years, especially in the definition of foreign policy. Long thwarted by democratic process and public resistance to the national security state, it is now on the brink of success, thanks to George Bush's disputed electoral victory in 2000, and to 11 September 2001, which transformed an accidental president into an American Caesar. President Bush has become the neocon vehicle for a policy that is based on unilateralism, permanent mobilisation and "preventive war". War and militarisation would have been impossible without 11 September, which tipped the institutional balance in favour of the new right. There were other possible responses that would have had a less destabilising effect on the world. One would have been to strengthen multilateral cooperation to contain the stateless trans-national terrorist threat, and seek to reduce tensions and resolve conflicts in areas at risk, notably the Middle East. Another would have been Keynesian-style regional development on Marshall Plan lines. This would have encouraged local forces for democracy, and would undoubtedly have been more effective than war in stimulating the US and global economies.

Inventing Torres Wolfgang Kramer Posted July, 2000 M. Kiesling and I so enjoyed developing Tikal that we decided to immediately develop a similar game but one that would be three-dimensional. This was the beginning of Torres The two games are similar in many ways: limited action points to spend each turn, scoring during the game and at the end, a scoring border to track players' scores, and a board that is empty at the beginning and develops throughout the game, eventually becoming quite complex and so developed that at the end it is completely filled. Also like Tikal , players have few opportunities for aggression against the other players, each player has several pieces, and the game is dominated by strategy and tactics. We developed the game from the middle of 1997 to the beginning of 1999, working on it almost exclusively full time until the beginning of 1998, and then sporadically, usually with the publishing house, to the beginning of 1999. Theme At first, we looked for a suitable, attractive topic and a working title. After a long search, we decided to use the King Arthur legend. The game would be set in the Middle Ages, using the castles of Cornwall. Each player would represent a prince/king, who builds castles with several knights for the protection of the country. It would be a polite building game. Our working title was Avalon. In the legend, Avalon is the faerie island to which the heavily wounded King Arthur flees to heal his wounds and from which he one day emerges to reclaim his realm and save his people.
