23. History Of BW - Reichenau: An Island His name hermann the lame. One of his students, the monk Berthold, has describedthe unusual man That we gather when we read about hermann the lame. http://www.pantel-web.de/bw_mirror/history/bw296_e.htm

Reichenau: an Island In the year 1048, a Reichenau monk, whose job it was to record all important events of the monastery in a chronicle, wrote: "The emperor came to our Reichenau and had the new church of the Holy Evangelist Mark (the Church of St.Mark , the west wing of the cathedral Reichenau, still stands today), our patron saint, that Abbot Berno had built, dedicated by Bishop Dietrich of Constance on the 24th of April." (from Arno Borst, Monks on Lake Constance, Jan Thorbeke Verlag, Sigmaringen, 1978, p. 112). A very brief notice for such an important visit. He who came was up to then the most powerful man of the western world, one of the strongest ruling figures of the Middle Ages: Emperor Heinrich III (1039-1056). We have no picture of him: in those days one did not do portraits of people, even when they wore crowns. The emperor was, however, described: A giant with dark skin and black hair, and people called him "Black Heinrich." He was considered pious, but also strict; his enemies feared his harshness. He had already cast three unfit Popes from the throne of St. Peter and installed worthier successors in their place. As his predecessors, he took it to be the duty of an emperor to keep order within the Church as well. So now he came to Reichenau. Too bad that the monk did not describe the event in more detail! We can illuminate a few details: Abbot Berno, who received the high guest, was already an old man and terminally ill. Certainly he could only with great effort take part in the festivities at the side of the emperor. But he was content and thanked God that he had granted him the grace to be able to experience this day. The emperor would have treated him with respect. Nine years before Berno had written him a long letter and exhorted him to protect the Church, to be just, and not to forget Reichenau. Such a man was the abbot of a great monastery that he could speak to the conscience of an emperor.

24. Hours And Unequal Hours The earliest treatise on the astrolabe, quadrant and chilindrum in Latin waswritten by hermann the lame, a monk of Reichenau in Germany in the middle of http://explorers.whyte.com/hours.htm

Introduction This is one of four essays that I wrote for my M Phil degree in History and Philosophy of Science at Clare College, Cambridge, in 1990-91 (the others, on the transmission of science from the Greeks to the Arabs Richard of Wallingford and Sir Robert Ball , are also on this site as is my dissertation and a 1992 lecture based on some of the same material). I think it is the best of the four. I notice also that it draws by far the most visitors of the history of science pages on this site. The two improvements I would make now are to better define and reference the "orthodox view" which I am attacking, and to better integrate the literary quotations into the argument. If I ever have time I may try and polish it into publishable form. In the meantime, I hope it is useful to passing researchers. If you do find it useful, please tell me.

25. Excerpt From "Calendar" the French ecclesiastic hermann the lame, who dared to suggest in 1042 thatthe Churchapproved calendar might be misaligned with the heavens; http://literati.net/Duncan/CalendarExcerpt.htm

Excerpt from "Calendar" by David Ewing Duncan Chapter 1 A Lone Genius Proclaims the Truth About Time The calendar is intolerable to all wisdom, the horror of all astronomy, and a laughing-stock from a mathematician's point of view. ROGER. BACON, 1267 Seven centuries ago a sickly English friar dispatched a strident missive to Rome. Addressed to Pope Clement IV, it was an urgent appeal to set right time itself. Calculating that the calendar year was some 11 minutes longer than the actual solar year, Roger Bacon informed the supreme pontiff that this amounted to an error of an entire day every 125 years, a surplus of time that over the centuries had accumulated by Bacon's era to nine days. Left unchecked, this drift would eventually shift March to the dead of winter and August to the spring. More horrific in this pious age was Bacon's insistence that Christians were celebrating Easter and every other holy day on the wrong dates, a charge so outrageous in 1267 that Bacon risked being branded a heretic for challenging the veracity of the Catholic Church. Roger Bacon did not care. One of medieval Europe's most original and curmudgeonly thinkers, he seemed to relish his role as a rebelfirst as a master at the University of Paris in the 1240s and then as a priest after he joined the Franciscan order sometime during the 1250s, when he was in his forties. Insatiably curious and always willing to challenge orthodoxy, Bacon devoted his life to pondering what causes a rainbow, diagramming the anatomy of the human eye, and devising a secret formula for gunpowder. Two centuries before Leonardo da Vinci he predicted the invention of the telescope, eyeglasses, airplanes, high-speed engines, self-propelled ships, and motors of enormous power. He drew these conclusions based on the then-radical notion that science offered objective truths regardless of dogma or what was written down in a book.

26. Everything Is Healing Nicely Review `Amnerika is `slow and lame , while hermann Kretzschmar s recitation ofletters from a bodypiercing magazine (`everything is healing nicely was the http://www.militantesthetix.co.uk/zappo/eihnrev.htm

Get You Back Home Back to Zappology To direct his musicians, Zappa was using techniques developed by Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus and Sun Ra. Sure, there were scores - neither the acheing melody of `Amnerika', hocketed to different instruments, nor the atonal drama of `None Of The Above' could have been achieved any other way - but Zappa also set up `objects', `motifs', `vamps', `chord structures' and `gestures (musical or theatrical)' which could be cued spontaneously by hand signals, funny faces and even eyebrow twitches, events that could be triggered at any moment (the slogan at the time was: `anything anytime anywhere for no reason at all'). Fully-rounded sounds redolent of expensive musical educations are mixed with bleats and moos from children's toys, a didgeridoo burbling into a spitoon full of dark water, bizarre groans from the percussion and vocal ejaculations. But this is not some postmodernist exercise: because these sounds resonate in real time, they establish real musical relations with each other. At one point, Zappa picked up his guitar to play a duet with Indian violinist L. Shankar (`Strat Vindaloo', a crass title bestowed by Frank's son Dweezil), and you can hear the vamping back-up musicians think through the metres they're playing to.

P eter G ill, playwright and theatre director Sanctuary in Devotion Up Peter Gill News Productions ... Search A Sanctuary in Devotion Hail holy Queen, Mother of Mercy. Hail our Life, our Sweetness and our Hope. To Thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve, To Thee do we send up our sighs Mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, Thine eyes of mercy toward us And after this our exile Show unto us the bless'd fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. O Clement, O Loving, O Sweet Virgin Mary. Salve Regina prayer, attr. Hermann the Lame , Monk of Reichenau, 1013-1054 When lighting a candle the mind of a Catholic often becomes a sanctuary from accepted doctrine. Symbolically the act should commemorate Christ, the Light of the World, but really it means anything from a desperate cry to a loving memory, from a plea for shelter to the profound scrutiny of a piece of wax. This uncontrollable variety of spiritual experience gives popular life to a strict religion, and a most dramatic life to O'Casey's play. "Holy God! There is no God! Blessed Virgin, where were you?" Individual religions are founded and subverted by the cry of a moment. O'Casey shows Catholicism moving through social, political, philosophical structures where religious devotions are guarded and discarded — in one instance, by a single puff of breath. Two significant devotions in the play are those to the Virgin Mary and the Sacred Heart. It is important to know that Catholic doctrine only permits the worship of God himself, while Saints may merely be venerated or prayed to for their intercession. But Johnny Boyle keeps a light lit before a picture of the Virgin both from obsessive superstition and to beg for her protection, for the ordinary religious mind does not always distinguish prayer from worship. As with St. Bernadette's visions of Mary the Immaculate Conception in 1858 and the apparitions in Fatima in 1917, generally it is the young and very poor who communicate with the Virgin, the purity of their witness generating doctrinal acceptance upward through the Catholic hierarchy. Such simple purity is emulated by the children's confraternity to which Mary Boyle, as a Child of Mary, once belonged.

31. Religion Of Albert Einstein: Jew, With Spinozan Concept Of God A famous quote Science without religion is lame, religion without science is Today the merchant hermann Einstein, residing in Ulm, Bahnhofstrasse 135, http://www.adherents.com/people/pe/Albert_Einstein.html

Religion of History's 100 Most Influential People The Religious Background and Religious Beliefs of Albert Einstein Albert Einstein was born into a Jewish family and had a lifelong respect for his Jewish heritage. Around the time Einstein was eleven years old he went through an intense religious phase, during which time he followed Jewish religious precepts in detail, including abstaining from eating pork. During this time he composed several songs in honor of God. But during most of his life Einstein was not a practicing Jew. Einstein was opposed to atheism. Various sources refer to him as a mostly non-practicing Jew, an agnostic, or simply as a person with an idiosyncratic personal worldview. Einstein's Jewish background and upbringing were significant to him, and his Jewish identity was strong, increasingly so as he grew older. The simple appellation "agnostic" may not be entirely accurate, given his many expressions of belief in a Spinozan concept of Deity. Certainly the adult Einstein was not a kosher-keeping, synagogue-attending traditional adherent of Judaism. But it is accurate enough to call his religious affiliation "Jewish," with the understanding of the variety encompassed by such a label. Although Einstein had a positive attitude toward religion, he was not active during adulthood in any organized religious group. It seems that as an adult he was only once a dues-paying member of a Jewish congregation. Most sources indicate that he clearly did not believe in a personal God, and that when he talked about God he was speaking in a more Spinozan sense, and was not speaking of a strictly Judeo-Christian Biblical conception of God. He wrote of his belief in a noble "cosmic religious feeling" that enables scientists to advance human knowledge. A famous quote: "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."

This is Merv's seventh trip taking Junior Hockey kids to China or Eastern Europe. Two teams of 40-45 kids, along with 15-20 adults go on the trips. Although games are played, it is largely intended to be educational - to open the kid's eye to a different world, and to keep them interested in hockey. In the past, the VRD has put up about $5-7,000 for each trip, but now donate ice time for the Skate-a-thon. Would only call on the money if they fall short in their fundraising goals. People are cutting down on their donations and he may need help this time. Nino asked for a written request and for the dates of the trip. Merv will supply. The trip is scheduled for December 14th, 2003 to January 1st, 2004. The funds must be raised by July or August 2003. Peter said it should be part of the budget process and Bob confirmed that the 2003 budget has to be firmed up by the first meeting in December.

Main July 01, 2005 Hans-Hermann Hoppe and the German Extremist Nationalist Right Lew Rockwell and Hans-Hermann Hoppe: Together They Have Opened the Gates of Hell and Welcomed the Most Extreme Right -Wing Racists, Nationalists, and Assorted Cranks The nutty professor Junge Freiheit Junge Freiheit describes itself as follows: Die JUNGE FREIHEIT h¤lt die groŸe kulturelle und geistige Tradition der deutschen Nation in Ehren. Ihr Ziel ist die politische Emanzipation Deutschlands und Europas und die Bewahrung der Identit¤t und der Freiheit der V¶lker der Welt. Translation: The YOUNG FREEDOM (paper) upholds the honor of the great cultural and spiritual tradition of the German nation. Its goal is the political emancipation of Germany and of Europe and the protection of the identity and the freedom of the peoples of the world. Junge Freiheit The paper has the distinction of having just won on June 28 a court case that has at least temporarily lifted its pariah status as being under the observation of the office for protection of the constitution, as Der Spiegel Junge Freiheit promotes the ideas of holocaust denier David Irving , for example, although it’s always careful to stay juuuuussst on the legal side of the line. Perhaps holocaust denial, for example, should not be illegal at this time in Germany (I disagree with those who think that it should have been legal in 1945 or 1950), but allowing people to say something doesn’t mean that it’s true. Its writers also promote “revisionism” over long settled border issues regarding Poland and the Czech Republic.
