C. S. Lewis  (1898-1963)      C. S. 'Jack' Lewis was not the kindly professor he created for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe . He sought truth by slashing dialectics taught him by his old tutor Kirkpatrick. He was merciless in debates. At Oxford University Jack Lewis was much feared by opponents. Some feared him so much - like the geneticist and avowed atheist J. B. S. Haldane - that they fled an encounter with Jack. Bitter losers characterized Jack as a loudmouthed, beefy, red-faced butcher! In fact he had a photographic memory, a mind trained in logic that raced far ahead of his usual opposition and a deep, booming voice. Jack's fights for truth were utterly sincere. In his early days his only acceptable companions were those who could give him a good scrap. They not only had to defend their opinions with logic, but with feeling. Yet, even brilliant, passionate dialectics was not enough; any who showed flippancy or cynicism Jack dismissed as lightweights. Those who advanced only anecdotes or mere disjointed facts he held in the lowest regard. Few people met his stringent standards.      His most worthy opponent for many years was Owen Barfield. Though brilliant and creative J. R. R. Tolkien was too emotional to acquit himself well in Jack's favorite kind of fight. But as Jack mellowed after his conversion to Christianity he accepted less gifted fighters like Tolkien. Slashing repartee had almost disappeared from Jack's life by 1952. He was well past 50 and had never married. Then into his life came the American divorcee Joy Davidman. To Jack's delight she was not only a writer like himself but as merciless a debater as Owen Barfield! In

The 19th-century Protestant missionary and explorer spent most of his life living among Africa's native people, preaching and exploring the southern and central regions of what was then called the "Dark Continent." Although he was eager to bring European ideas to the Africans, Livingstone, who was adamantly anti-slavery, wasn't motivated by political or economic gains like other explorers of his era.

People Index FAQ Feedback Tell a Friend ... People Index David Livingstone (1813-1873) David Livingstone was born to a Christian family who lived at Blantyre, Scotland in 1813. As child he worked in a local mill during the day and went to school in the evening. He wanted to become a missionary and work in China. He qualified as a doctor of medicine to help with this ambition. He heard a talk from Dr Robert Moffat who was a missionary in Africa. He decided to go to Africa (China was a closed nation at war at that time). Livingstone went to Southern Africa and was soon travelling inland looking for sites for mission stations. These journeys took many months and allowed Livingstone to rapidly learn the language, culture and customs of the Africans. In 1845 Livingstone married Dr. Moffats daughter. They made other exploratory journeys in Africa and in 1855 reached what we know as Victoria Falls. Livingstone was rapidly becoming a household name back in Great Britain. In 1958 Livingstone made an an ill-fated expedition to explore the Zambezi river and it's tributaries. Many of his companions became ill, including his wife Mary who later died of the illness. In 1865 Livingstone made his last journey to Africa to find the source of the Nile. The trip took seven years. During this time Livingstone disappeared from public view and a journalist H M Stanley searched for him and found him. Livingstone refused to leave Africa with him and carried on the exploration.

DAVID LIVINGSTONE FROM Cambridge Speech of 1857 David Livingstone (1813-1873), the Scottish missionary and explorer of Africa, personified for Britain the higher cause of imperialism. Between 1840 and 1873, Livingstone traversed nearly a third of Africa, missionizing Christianity, opposing the persistent slave trade, and recording the geography and ethnographic customs of its peoples. His achievement and his self-effacing devotion to opening up Africa to commerce and Christianity provided inspiration to a nineteenth-century British public in search of a moral center to its imperialist policies in Africa. My object in going into the country south of the desert was to instruct the natives in a knowledge of Christianity, but many circumstances prevented my living amongst them more than seven years, amongst which were considerations arising out of the slave system carried on by the Dutch Boers. I resolved to go into the country beyond, and soon found that, for the purposes of commerce, it was necessary to have a path to the sea. I might have gone on instructing the natives in religion, but as civilization and Christianity must go on together, I was obliged to find a path to the sea, in order that I should not sink to the level of the natives. The chief was overjoyed at the suggestion, and furnished me with twenty-seven men, and canoes, and provisions, and presents for the tribes through whose country we had to pass. In a commercial point of view communication with this country is desirable. Angola is wonderfully fertile, producing every kind of tropical plant in rank luxuriance. Passing on to the valley of Quango, the stalk of the grass was as thick as a quill, and towered above my head, although I was mounted on my ox; cotton is produced in great abundance, though merely woven into common cloth; bananas and pine-apples grow in great luxuriance; but the people having no maritime communication, these advantages are almost lost. The country on the other side is not quite so fertile, but in addition to indigo, cotton, and sugarcane, produces a fibrous substance, which I am assured is stronger than flax.

David Livin gstone Afrika-ontdekker en verspreider van die Lig Eeue lank was die hartland van Afrika vir die Europeërs ’n donker plek, waar tropiese siektes ’n witman binne ’n dag kon doodmaak of wilde roofdiere hom in ’n ommesientjie kon verslind. Min was gevolglik bekend omtrent die binneland van die kontinent. Totdat onvermoeide pioniers soos David Livingstone hierheen gekom het... D IE jong Skot luister aandagtig na die passievolle Skotse sendeling met die vloeiende wit baard. Die godsman het onlangs uit Afrika na Brittanje teruggekeer en is besig om ’n belangstellende gehoor toe te spreek oor sy werk doer in die suide. "Partykeer in die oggendson.'' vertel hy, "het ek die rook van duisend statte gesien waar geen sendeling nog ooit was nie.'' Dit is woorde wat die jong man, wat hom pas as medikus bekwaam het, aan die hart gryp. Dan sal hy na Afrika gaan! Hy sal ’n voorvegter vir Christus op die donker vasteland word. Hy sal die duisend statte, en nog ander duisende, gaan soek en die evangelie verkondig om die Lig te versprei! Só begin die sending- en ontdekkersloopbaan van dr. David Livingstone, wat deur baie as een van die grootste Europese ontdekkingsreisigers van ons kontinent beskou word, indien nie die heel grootste nie.

Livingstone Table of contents What is Livingstone? Why the name? Papers on Livingstone. Presentations on Livingstone. ... Stanley, the graphical user interface to Livingstone. What is Livingstone? The centerpiece of our work on Model-based Autonomous Systems is a system called Livingstone. Livingstone is the software kernel for model-based reactive self-configuring autonomous systems. Livingstone accepts a model of the components of a complex system such as a spacecraft or chemical plant and infers from them the overall behavior of the system. Livingstone also notes which commands are being given to the system and what observations are available. From this, Livingstone is able to monitor the operation of the system, diagnose its current state, determine if sensors are giving impossible readings, recommend actions to put the system into a desired state even in the face of failures and so on. Because Livingstone reasons about explicit models of the system it is interacting with, rather than following a program or rules, a Livingstone-based controller is highly capable, flexible and easy to maintain. Livingstone also takes into account all available information and observations, drawing conclusions which reach across a complex system in a way which would be difficult for a traditional software system or time consuming for a human operator. Livingstone is able to perform significant deduction in the sense/response loop by drawing on our past experience at building fast propositional conflict-based algorithms for model-based diagnosis, and by framing a model-based configuration manager as a propositional feedback controller that generates focused, optimal responses. Livingstone's representation formalism achieves broad coverage of hybrid hardware/software systems by coupling the transition system models underlying concurrent reactive languages with the qualitative representations developed in model-based reasoning. Livingstone automates a wide variety of tasks using a single model and a single core algorithm, thus making significant progress towards achieving a central goal of model-based reasoning.

He sailed in the ship called "La Geographe" (meaning geography in French) and did many scientific explorations of other Southern Hemisphere areas, including the island of Timor. His expedition mapped coastlines, collected scientific specimens, and made drawings of the areas. In April, 1802, Baudin met the Australian explorer Matthew Flinders in southern Australia.
