John Mayall And The Bluesbreakers kjem frå ein omfattande turne i USA og Europa til Skånevik i juli. Mayall bli rekna som ein levande legende – hærføraren for den engelske bluesinvasjonen som rulla inn over Europa på 60/70-talet og som framleis kan trollbinda eit stendig større bluesinteressert publikum. Mange kjende rock – og bluesartistar har blitt inspirerte av Mayall. Han oppdaga og lærte opp Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood og Mick Taylor for å nemna nokon. Mange framtredande musikarar har vore med i The Bluesbreakers. John Mayall blei fødd i Manchester i 1933 og han var tidleg opptatt av jazz og blues. Og etter deltaking i Koreakrigen starta han gruppa The Powerhouse Four i 1956 og etter det The Blues Syndicate. Mayall trakterer både keyboard, munnspel og gitar og han er ein dyktig vokalist, komponist og tekstskrivar. Det var først etter at Alexis Korner oppdaga han i 1962 og fikk han til å flytta til London, at karrieren starta på alvor.

25. Venn, John
    venn, john (18341923). English logician whose diagram, known as the venn diagram,is much used in the teaching of elementary mathematics.  
    http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Biographies/MainBiographies/V/Venn/1.html
    
    Extractions: The use of geometrical representations to illustrate syllogistic logic was not new. Venn adopted the method of illustrating propositions by means of exclusive and inclusive circles, and added the new device of shading the segments of the circles to represent the possibilities that were excluded by the propositions at issue. Later, he extended his method by proposing a series of circles dividing the plane into compartments, so that each successive circle should intersect all the compartments already existing. This idea, taken up and refined by Charles Dodgson (the writer Lewis Carroll ), led to the use of the closed compartment enclosing the whole diagram to define what is now known as the universal set.

    Extractions: William Wilberforce , the son of a wealthy merchant, was born in Hull in 1759. William's father died when he was young and for a time was brought up by an uncle and aunt. William came under the influence of his aunt, who was a strong supporter of John Wesley and the Methodist movement. Disturbed by these developments, Mrs. Wilberforce brought her son back to the family home. At seventeen Wilberforce was sent to St. John's College, Cambridge . Wilberforce was shocked by the behaviour of his fellow students and later wrote: "I was introduced on the very first night of my arrival to as licentious a set of men as can well be conceived. They drank hard, and their conversation was even worse than their lives." One of Wilberforce's friends at university was William Pitt , who was later to become Britain's youngest ever Prime Minister.

John Venn played a critical role in the development of modern logic by creating a system for diagramming that can test the validity of categorical syllogisms. Called Venn Diagrams, they are very useful for ensuring that an argument is valid. Venn diagrams use circles to represent sets, with the position and overlap of the circles showing the relationships between the sets. Here is an example of a Venn Diagram of the categorical proposition Some S are P The left circle represents the set of all members of S . The right circle represents the set of all members of P . The two circles overlap to represent the possibility that some members of one set may also be members of the other set. There is an X in the space of this overlap in order to represent the fact there actually is at least one element which is a member of both sets. If there were no

    Extractions: John Venn (1834-1923) British logician, known for the famous "Venn diagram". He was first interested in theology (his father was an evangelical divine), but influenced by such agnostics as Henry Sidgwick in Cambridge, and by reading Boole's or de Morgan's works on logic, he became a logician. As regards the traditional syllogism, he proposed the "existential" view that the four categorical forms of proposition are concerned with the existence or non-existence of a kind; and he propounded the view that universal poropositions do not have the "existential import" (that is, the view that a universal proposition does not imply any existential proposition). Thus, the Aristotelian syllogism on this view can be interpreted in terms of emptiness or nonemptiness of eight compartments marked out by three terms. Venn Diagram with 8 compartments Like many other logicians in the 19th century, he is also known for his work in probability theory. He is usually referred to as one of the founders of the frequency theory of probability, which interprets probability in terms of the long-run relative frequency of an event. He propounded this view in his Logic of Chance (1866, 3rd ed., 1888); but according to Sandy Zabell's recent study, Venn's view changed through the revision of this book, and he came closer to the "degree-of-belief" view, although he did not abandon the frequentist view.

    Extractions: John Venn Venn diagrams were introduced in 1880 by John Venn (1834-1923), "M.A. Fellow and Lecturer in Moral Science, Caius College, Cambridge University", in a paper entitled On the Diagrammatic and Mechanical Representation of Propositions and Reasonings which appeared in the Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science S. 5. Vol. 9. No. 59. July 1880, [ John Venn was born August 4, 1834 in Hull, Yorkshire, England and died April 4, 1923 in Cambridge, England. He came from a Low Church Evangelical background and in 1853 entered Gonville and Caius College of Cambridge University. In 1857 he was named a Fellow of the college. He was ordained a priest 1859 and for a year was curate at Mortlake. He published his first book Symbolic Logic in 1881 and The Principles of Empirical Logic in 1889. In 1883 John Venn was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. He wrote a history of his college, The Biographical History of Gonville and Caius College 1349-1897 (1897), and then began to compile a history of Cambridge University. He completed three volumes, and others continue the work, with the eighth volume now in preparation.

    Extractions: Version for printing John Venn 's mother, Martha Sykes, came from Swanland near Hull and died while he was still quite a young boy. His father was the Rev Henry Venn who, at the time of John's birth, was the rector of the parish of Drypool, near Hull. The Rev Henry Venn, himself a fellow of Queen's, was from a family of distinction. His father, John's grandfather, was the Rev John Venn who had been the rector of Clapham in south London. He became the leader of the Clapham Sect, a group of evangelical Christians centred on his church. They successfully campaigned for the abolition of slavery, advocated prison reform and the prevention of cruel sports, and supported missionary work abroad. It was not only Venn's grandfather who played a prominent role in the evangelical Christian movement, for so did his father the Rev Henry Venn. The Society for Missions in Africa and the East was founded by evangelical clergy of the Church of England in 1799 and in 1812 it was renamed the Church Missionary Society for Africa and the East. The Rev Henry Venn became secretary to this Society in 1841 and in order to carry out his duties moved to Highgate near London. He held this position until his death in 1873. As might be expected from his family background, John was very strictly brought up, and there was never any thought other than that he would follow the family tradition into the priesthood. He attended first Sir Roger Cholmley's School in Highgate, then the private Islington Preparatory School.

    Extractions: These are now known as Venn Diagrams, and are often used in teaching elementary mathematics. Venn's Life John Venn was born August 4, 1834, in Hull, Humberside, England, to a prominent Anglican family. When he was young, his father, Henry Venn, moved to London in order to take up the occupation of honorary secretary to the Church Missionary Society. Venn began his education in London, at Sir Roger Cholmley's School, which is now known as Highgate School. In 1853, after graduation from high school, Venn enrolled in Gonville and Caius College, in Cambridge. He was elected a mathematical scholar in 1854 and by 1857 he had gained his Bachelor of the Arts degree. Also in 1857, Venn was elected a Fellow of the College and remained a Fellow for the rest of his life. Venn's family background led him to be ordained as a deacon at Ely in 1858, and as a priest in 1859. After that, he held offices at Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, and Mortlake, Surrey until 1862, when he returned to the Cambridge as a college lecturer in moral sciences. For the next thirty years, Venn became interested in logic. He published three standard texts based upon this topic. He wrote

    john venn English Mathematician john venn invented the venn diagram.  
    http://www.enchantedlearning.com/inventors/page/v/venn.shtml
    
    Extractions: A simple Venn diagram pictures two circles (sets) with an overlapping subset (things that the sets have in common). The diagram divides the sets into four distinct regions, elements (things) that are only in the set A, elements that are only in the set B, the intersection (things that are in both set A and set B), and elements that are in neither set A nor Set B. John Venn (August 4, 1834 - April 4, 1923) was an English mathematician/logician who invented the Venn diagram. His diagram clearly shows the similarities and differences for two different sets; it is a visual way to represent sets, and their unions and intersections. Venn's diagrams were first published in 1880, in "Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science" - Venn's article was called, "On the Diagrammatic and Mechanical Representation of Propositions and Reasonings."

Please pardon the truncation of the text. Could Colenso's (see the Snark) arithmetical problems with the Pentateuch have similar roots? John Venn was born August 4, 1834, in Hull, Humberside, England, to a prominent evangelical family. In 1853, after graduation from high school, Venn enrolled in Gonville and Caius College, in Cambridge. He was elected a mathematical scholar in 1854 and by 1857 he had gained his Bachelor of the Arts degree. Also in 1857, Venn was elected a Fellow of the College and remained so for the rest of his life. Venn's family background led him to be ordained as a deacon at Ely in 1858, and as a priest in 1859. After that, he held offices at Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, and Mortlake, Surrey until 1862, when he returned to Cambridge as a college lecturer in moral sciences. For the next thirty years, Venn became interested in logic. He published three standard texts based upon this topic. He wrote The Logic of Chance in 1866, Symbolic Logic in 1881, and The Principles of Empirical Logic in 1889. While he pursued his research in logic, Venn found he could no longer follow the Thirty-nine Articles of the Church of England. At this point in time, many controversies were brewing about the Articles, and people of high Victorian, post-Darwinian England lost their faith in the Church. Venn himself, never actually lost his faith but he abjured his clerical orders in 1883, just the same. This same year, Venn was elected to the Royal Society, and the University of Cambridge awarded him a ScD.
