Extractions: CREATIONISM Helen Fryman (now Setterfield) June 26,1999, updated February 4, 2004 In the midst of the debates or wars concerning the issues of creation and evolution, there is a tendency to over-generalize. Both sides often refer to the opposing side with the broad term of either "evolutionist" or "creationist." And yet there exists within both sides a great deal of variety and even controversy. As a creationist myself, I am hoping the following will help increase the understanding of the variety of positions on the creationist side of the fence. In the United States, and perhaps in all the western culture(s), the term "creationism," or "creation," is automatically associated with Christianity and the Bible. In particular it is associated with the book of Genesis, the beginning book of the Bible, which recounts the story of creation. However this generalization ignores those of other faiths who believe just as firmly in creation as opposed to evolution from their respective points of view. The Islamic faith is a creationist faith (whether or not its proponents agree with this position). Some information regarding the Islamic creation beliefs may be found here:

Extractions: NECESSITY IN THE SIEGE OF PARIS by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 1492. Today, necessity, invention, and the Siege of Paris. 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. S o is necessity the mother of invention? The four-month Prussian siege of Paris in 1870 offers some clues. Telegraph lines had been cut, and Paris couldn't communicate with the rest of the world. Necessity demanded a solution. Parisians wished they could fly over the enemy's lines. In fact, two usable forms of flight did exist: carrier pigeons and balloons. Balloons could get out, but where they went was uncontrollable and only vaguely predictable. And there was no way to guide a balloon into Paris from outside. Carrier pigeons couldn't be sent anywhere; they could only find their way back to Paris. The obvious trick was to fly both messages and crated pigeons out of Paris in balloons by night, and to send microfilmed messages back by carrier pigeon. Several pigeons had to be sent with duplicate messages because enemy soldiers shot as many as they could.

Extractions: Salomon Andr'e prepares for his polar expedition, 1897. Early Scientific Balloons The earliest balloon flights could be said to be scientific in nature because no one knew what the effects would be. Montgolfier's Jacques Charles , who climbed in 1783, to almost 9,000 feet (2,743 meters) in a hydrogen-filled balloon, suffered severe pain in his ear from gas trapped in the middle ear. John Jeffries, an American physician, performed barometric, thermometric, and hygrometric observations in flights over London during 1784, and sampled air at different altitudes. He had planned to make additional atmospheric observations when he and the French aeronaut Jean-Pierre Blanchard crossed the English Channel in a hydrogen-filled balloon in 1785. Unfortunately, they had to throw their scientific instruments overboard to keep the balloon aloft and did not make any scientific observations. When Jeffries returned to the United States, he wrote of his experiences. His legacy survives in the John Jeffries Award, which is presented annually to the physician who makes the greatest contribution to aerospace medicine. A July 1803 flight in Hamburg, Germany, was the first made expressly for scientific purposes. Etienne Robertson and a music teacher named Lloest ascended in

Extractions: Died: 16 Sept 1946 in Dorking, Surrey, England James Jeans ' family moved to Brighton, then when he was 3 years old they moved to London. Jeans went to Trinity College Cambridge in 1896 and fellow student G H Hardy was in the same year. Jeans was taught as an undergraduate at Cambridge by J W L Glaisher, W W Rouse Ball, A N Whitehead, R A Herman and E T Whittaker. Both Jeans and Hardy were awarded a Smith's prize in 1901 with unspecified relative merit. That year Jeans became a Fellow of Trinity. Jeans lectured at Princeton from 1905 until 1909. During this period, in 1907, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. In 1909 Jeans returned to England and the following year he was appointed Stokes Lecturer in Applied Mathematics at Cambridge. He only held this post until 1912 when he retired to Guildford to devote himself to mathematical research. During his career he taught in Cambridge, England and Princeton, USA and undertook research at the Mt Wilson Observatory, Pasadena, California. His work in astronomy led him to believe that Laplace's nebular hypothesis for the creation of the solar system was incorrect. Instead he proposed a tidal theory based on a star passing close to the Sun and pulling matter out which condensed into the planets.

http://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/about/oxford-figures/ch1-6a.shtml

Extractions: Chapter 1: 800 years of mathematical traditions The earliest book with some slight mathematical content to be printed at Oxford seems to have been Compotus manualis ad usum Oxoniensum , printed by Charles Kyrforth in 1520. This 16-page booklet, intended explicitly for Oxford students, explained how to make calculations for the date of Easter and other movable Christian feasts by counting on the hand. It took a further century for another mathematical book to be published in Oxford, Sir Henry Savile's lectures on Euclid's Elements, printed by John Lichfield and James Short in 1621. Mathematical works only really began to be published in Oxford some time after Archbishop Laud's statutes of the 1630s laid the framework for a University Press. The years following the Civil War, from 1647 to the Restoration in 1660, marked one of the most productive periods for the printing of mathematical texts in Oxford. In 1648 Canicularia, an edition of Arabic astronomical tables by the first Savilian Professor of Astronomy, John Bainbridge, and completed by his successor John Greaves, was printed using Arabic type purchased from Leyden at Laud's instigation. John Wallis, the newly appointed Savilian Professor of Geometry, was thereafter the leading figure in Oxford's mathematical publishing. Under his guidance an edition of William Oughtred's innovative algebra text Clavis mathematicae was published in 1652, as well as his own Arithmetica infinitorum and other research works in the late 1650s.

Extractions: Stafford Road Commemorating: The First All-British Flying Meeting Sponsored by: Location: Dunstall Park, Gorsebrook Road The first midlands aviation meeting was held at Dunstall Park from 27th June to 2nd July, 1910 under the auspices of the Midland Aero Club, which was formed in 1909. Its headquarters were at the Grand Hotel in Birmingham and the club president was the Earl of Dartmouth. The official programme listed a varied selection of events. Prizes were awarded for the flight of the longest duration, cross-country flying, passenger carrying, figure flying and bomb throwing. Music was provided by the South Staffordshire Regiment and the Wolverhampton Military Band. There was almost no flying in 1910 because of bad weather and a dispute with some pilots over payment of their hotel expenses. This postcard, postmarked 1910, was issued for the event. The plane is superimposed on it. But it does show Dunstall Park, and its grandstands at the time. Presumably the sheep were removed for the event.
