I won a Nobel Prize A small plane was carrying three passengers over a mountain range — an old man, his grandson, and an eminent scientist. Suddenly, the pilot burst into the cabin, saying ‘The engines have all failed! Grab a parachute and jump from the plane!’ With this, the pilot opened the cabin door and leapt out with his parachute. To their dismay, the 3 passengers discovered only 2 parachutes were left in the cabin! The Eminent Scientist took a pack, saying ** Cont @

Remember this lady? Irena Sendler Died: May 12, 2008 (aged 98) Warsaw, Poland During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist. She had an ulterior motive. Irena smuggled Jewish infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried. She also carried a burlap sack in the back of her truck, for larger kids. Irena kept a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto. The soldiers, of course, wanted nothing to do with the dog and the barking covered the kids/infants noises. During her time of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants. Ultimately, she was caught, however, and the Nazi's broke both of her legs and arms and beat her severely. Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she had smuggled out, In a glass jar that she buried under a tree in her back yard. After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived and tried to reunite the family. Most had been gass ...

does anyone else find it ironic that we want to ban guns here, but won't even question sending guns overseas where many and possibly ALL the weapons will wind up in the hands of our enemies...and the person arming those people is a Nobel Peace Prize winner?

Did you know that sugar feeds cancer cells? Yes, it's true. This has been a known fact since 1931 when Dr. Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize for Medicine for his work on cancer's energy cycle. If you know someone with cancer, tell them to stop eating sugar and dairy.

A dyslexic doesn’t have to be an artist. Sometimes they can be an amazing scientist. Carol Greider is dyslexic and she is a Molecular Biologist. She is Daniel Nathans Professor and Director of Molecular Biology and Genetics at Johns Hopkins University. She discovered the enzyme telomerase in 1984, when she was a graduate student of Elizabeth Blackburn at the University of California, Berkeley. Greider pioneered research on the structure of telomeres, the ends of the chromosomes. She was also awarded 2009 Nobel Prize in Medicine.

SUPPLEMENTATION...

Edward Snowdon is a hero - exposing government misuse of NSA intercepts. He has not even been charged but is accused o of treason by such faithful democrats as effing democrats as *** Cheney and George W Bush - men who lie and get paid to do it. Even Obama is getting sucked down that rabbit hole. Snowden for Nobel Peace Prize. Plus Moam Chowsky and Wikileaks I wonder who our evil leaders in Canada listen to - Now we know they are unable to read or can differentiate red for green - who pushes the button - John Baird or Wikileaks. Luckily social media changes and our ability to access international freedoms are going to free us from the oligarchs - maybe I'll die first WWIII is not far away. Have fun in life you 30 somethings

“Why are we getting involved [in Syria] now? I'll tell you why, because Assad crossed the red line: he used chemical weapons. Using chemical weapons to harm your own people? Who does he think he is? Monsanto.” — Bill Maher

U.S. right to arm Syrian rebels, says Israeli president: Israeli President Shimon Peres has thrown his weight behind U.S. plans to arm Syrian rebels, shrugging off fears the weapons could be turned on Israel and exacerbate the conflict. In a wide-ranging interview with Reuters before his 90th birthday, Peres dismissed the idea that Israel could launch a unilateral military strike against Iran's nuclear facilities and urged Palestinians and Israelis to forge immediate peace. Looking at the many problems besetting the Middle East, Israel's elder statesmen, who is a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, said terror groups were ripping apart the Arab world. After two years of uncertainty in the face of the Syrian civil war, the United States announced last week it would start to arm rebels seeking to oust Syrian President Bashar al-Assad after concluding his forces had used chemical weapons. Many Israeli politicians have cautioned against giving weapons to the increasingly radicalized rebel fighters, fearful that the a ...

An amateur politician, newly elected president of the US can get the Nobel Peace Prize but not this woman who risked torture and certain death at the hands of the Gestapo saving innocents. Have heard life ain't fair and this is the proof. Al Gore got it, too? Really? Political correctness has ruined mankind.

(Biology Foundation/cell membranes and transport) -Membranes All living cells have something known as a cell membrane. This selectively-permeable membrane controls the exchange of materials, receives hormone messages and is very thin. It can be described as a phospholipid bi-layer - meaning that it is made from phospholipid molecules and has two layers. Structure A phospholipid bi-layer The phospholipid bi-layer is so thin it can barely even be seen by an electron microscope - a x100,000 magnification is required, and only shows a double black line around 7 nm wide. Since we cannot properly see the membrane, we have to take what we know about it and create a model - in this case known as a fluid mosaic model. Fluid Mosaic Model A diagram of the fluid mosaic model can be seen below. Features of the fluid mosaic model; The membrane primarily consists of a bilayer of phospholipid molecules. These molecules can move about by diffusion in their own layer. Width is about 7 nm on average Some of the phospholipid ...

It's a strange day in American foreign policy when we decide to arm al Qaeda. They are fighting with the rebels in Syria. So I question really what our involvement is or should be. Maybe that is why presidents must seek for congressional approval before declaring war. This is what happens with a slippery slope and presidential power gone astray whether from the left or the right. Now the president can unilaterally send in forces and arms to support rebels and these rebels are supported by al Qaeda. I just don't know what to think about it except I don't like giving arms that you know will end up in their hands. And how do we know that these arms will not be pointed at us one day. If we as Americans really do believe that Syria is a threat to America then we should go take her out. But that should be a decision with Congress and the American people, In conjunction with the President.

This is one of the reasons I love science. Look at the amount of control our species has gained, busing artificial genes into the eye via viruses. It has only been fifty years since we figured out how to read a gene in the first place (and 50 years since the Nobel Prize for DNA structure was handed out). A thought just occurred to me... the current money for a Nobel Prize is ~$1-2 million. That is actually a pretty small "grant" and a tiny sum for the value Watson, Crick, and Nirenberg brought to the human race. I understand the economics behind it, but the fact that we collectively pay more for one actor in one movie than we pay someone for unlocking the mysteries of biology... it gets to me.

Just watched the Nobel Prize lecture by the late Mother Teresa ... she may have been the only laureate to have ever free-styled this particular speech, but she was incredibly poised and thought-provoking. All humans have dignity regardless of their positions.

Alright! Shall we begin? Numero Uno!!

No one should assume that scientists uniformly agree that there is no God and that the world around us is the product of a mindless evolutionary process. Consider what some luminaries in science have said about creation and evolution: “For I am well aware that scarcely a single point is discussed in this volume [The Origin of Species] on which facts cannot be adduced, often apparently leading to conclusions directly opposite to those at which I arrived.” —Charles Darwin (1809-1882), British naturalist who popularized the theory of evolution through natural selection “The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creator. Into his tiniest creatures, God has placed extraordinary properties that turn them into agents of destruction of dead matter.” “A bit of science distances one from God, but much science nears one to Him.” —Louis Pasteur (1822-1895), French scientist, developer of the pasteurization process for milk and of vaccines for anthrax, chicken cholera and rabi ...

This past friday, I struggled out to Palmetto (about 92 miles 1-way) to do 3 ETL inspections. The head cold I came down with on wednesday was really getting into full gear, but I had to do these 3 inspections. The engineer I interfaced with and I had a most stimulating and intellectual conversation running twixt us during the 3 hours it took me to write up 3 reports. We got into differential wave equations in electrical circuits and the human body's nerve system. We had a hot discourse about harmonics and how the concept is so intertwined into everyday life, yet the average Joe-blow citizen is not aware of it. And yes, harmonics does have a big part to play in all the snooping going on by the US of Government ! We got into Einstein and how his 2 wives contributed immensely to his Nobel Prize theories, but because of female discrimination of the early decades of the 20th century, are only now beginning to be credited for their mathematical knowledge that they bestowed upon Albert. And then when I casually ...

Food for thought... Did you know... Born March 14 1879 Here’s something you probably don’t know about Albert Einstein.In 1946, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist traveled to Linc...oln University in Pennsylvania, the alma mater of Langston Hughes and Thurgood Marshall and the first school in America to grant college degrees to blacks. At Lincoln, Einstein gave a speech in which he called racism “a disease of white people,” and added, “I do not intend to be quiet about it.” He also received an honorary degree and gave a lecture on relativity to Lincoln students. In fact, many significant details are missing from the numerous studies of Einstein’s life and work, most of them having to do with Einstein’s opposition to racism and his relationships with African Americans. Einstein continued to support progressive causes through the 1950s, when the pressure of anti-Communist witch hunts made it dangerous to do so. Another example of Einstein using his prestige to help a prominent African American ...

Sugar is the Primary Fuel for Most Cancers Controlling your blood-glucose leptin and insulin levels through diet, exercise and emotional stress relief can be one of the most crucial components to a cancer recovery program. These factors are also crucial in order to prevent cancer in the first place.In 1931 the Nobel Prize was awarded to German researcher Dr. Otto Warburg, who discovered that cancer cells have a fundamentally different energy metabolism compared to healthy cells, and that malignant tumors tend to feed on sugar. More recently, researchers discovered that while cancer cells feed on both glucose and fructose, pancreatic tumor cells use fructose specifically.

Did you know that South Korean schools study the Talmud? South Koreans believe that Jews are very intelligent people. Jews have one of the highest percentages of Nobel Prize winners in the world. We want our children to all achieve this excellence. Dr. Kim explained that South Koreans, like Jews value education. She said that it is not uncommon for someone to sell their house to cover the university education of their children and children frequently study until midnight. She said that it is due to this emulation that they study the Talmud. Professor Noble who travels to South Korea and speaks Korean said that although most Koreans don’t know what it involves to be a Jew, anti-Jewish feeling is almost unthinkable in that part of the world.

Trinidad and Tobago is the birthplace of calypso music and the steelpan, which is widely claimed in Trinidad and Tobago to be the only acoustic musical instrument invented during the 20th century.[52][53][54] Trinidad is also the birthplace of Soca, Chutney, Parang, and Carnival (in the form that has been widely copied in the Caribbean and around the world). The diverse cultural and religious background also allows for many festivities and ceremonies throughout the year. Trinidad and Tobago claims two Nobel Prize-winning authors, V. S. Naipaul and St Lucian-born Derek Walcott (who founded the Trinidad Theatre Workshop, working and raising a family in Trinidad for much of his career). Edmundo Ros, the "King of Latin American Music", was born in Port of Spain. Designer Peter Minshall is renowned not only for his Carnival costumes but also for his role in opening ceremonies of the Barcelona Olympics, the 1994 Football World Cup, the 1996 Summer Olympics and the 2002 Winter Olympics, for which he won an Emmy ...

Arabs racism against Africans Arab racism toward black Africans is commonplace, even if it remains a taboo subject. For the Nobel Prize winning novelist Wole Soyinka, the unwillingness to confront Arab racism is rooted in the role of Arabs in the slave trade. "Arabs and Islam are guilty of the cultural and spiritual savaging of the Continent," he writes. The Ethiopian academic Mekuria Bulcha estimates that Arab traders sold 17 million Africans to the Middle East and Asia between the sixth and twentieth centuries. Yet, there is an almost total reluctance on the part of Arab intellectuals to examine their central role in slavery, past or present. According to Naiwu Osahon, of the Pan Africa Movement, "Africans are treated like the scum of the earth" throughout the Arab world. He claims that the Arab policy has been "elimination, displacement, separation, marginalization and suppression" of black Africans since the 7th century. Arguably it continues to this day. Black African guest workers in Egypt, Algeria ...

Interviewed May 1979 by Monte Davis "I think the theory is simply a way to sweep the difficulties under the rug," Richard Feynman said. "I am, of course, not sure of that." It sounds like the kind of criticism, ritually tempered, that comes from the audience after a controversial paper is presented at a scientific conference. But Feynman was at the podium, delivering a Nobel Prize-winner's address. The theory he was questioning, quantum electrodynamics, has recently been called "the most precise ever devised"; its predictions are routinely verified to within one part in a million. When Feynman, Julian Schwinger, and Sinitiro Tomonaga independently developed it in the 1940s, their colleagues hailed it as "the great cleanup": a resolution of long-standing problems and a rigorous fusion of the century's two great ideas in physics, relativity and quantum mechanics. Feynman has combined theoretical brilliance and irreverent skepticism throughout his career. In 1942, after taking his doctorate at Princeton wi ...

I have a funny story to tell about Robert William Fogel, the Nobel Prize-winning economic historian, who died two days ago. I've seen a lot of good riddances from folks on the Left, who think of him as the co-author (with Stanley Engerman) of Time on the Cross, a book that demonstrated how slavery in the South had developed into a robust social/labor system. Looking back on the controversy that book inspired, I have to wonder what all the fuss was about, and I have to wonder why the bitterness remains. Maybe somebody can explain these related phenomena. The NYT obit has this passing reference to Fogel's nefarious past: "Before pursuing an academic career, Professor Fogel worked for years as a professional organizer for the Communist Party, which he eventually rejected. In 1949 he married Enid Cassandra Morgan, whom he had met while she headed a Harlem youth group promoting the Progressive Party presidential candidacy of Henry A. Wallace." For years he was a Commie? Well, yeah. Here's the story. Two ...

Today's Famous Mental Illness sufferer is: John Nash 1928- John Nash, a mathematical genius in game theory, differential geometry, and partial differential equations, was honored with the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1994 and is the subject of Ron Howard’s film, “A Beautiful Mind,” based upon Sylvia Nasar’s biography of the same name. Nash earned a doctorate from Princeton University in 1950 and developed what would decades later become known as the Nash equilibrium theory. At the age of 29, Nash was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and spent the next twenty years suffering from delusions and hallucinations, being involuntarily committed several times. Nash recovered enough in the 1970’s to gradually return to teaching mathematics at Princeton University, where legend has dubbed him, “The Phantom of Fine Hall.” [wikipedia summary]

June 13 Most Favored: Nothing but sweetness can remain when hearts are full of their own sweetness. Now that my ladder's gone I must lie down where all ladders start In the foul rag and bone shop of the heart. A starlit or a moonlit dome disdains All that man is; All mere complexities, The fury and the mire of human veins. When such as I cast out remorse So great a sweetness flows into the breast We must laugh and we must sing, We are blest by everything, Everything we look upon is blest. Considering that, all hatred driven hence, The soul recovers radical innocence And learns at last that it is self-delighting, Self-appeasing, self-affrighting, And that its own sweet will is Heaven's will. If I make the lashes dark And the eyes more bright And the lips more scarlet, Or ask if all be right From mirror after mirror, No vanity's displayed: I'm looking for the face I had Before the world was made.

With Baz Luhrmann's Great Gatsby, I have been thinking a lot about fame and being fashionable. When I was a teenager, my two favourite writers were F Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, it's about all I read at the time. I remember the Melbourne High Library stocked up on Fitzgerald at my request. I read all their books, their biographies, and collected articles about them. I was a bit like a groupie. The interesting part was that when F Scott Fitzgerald died in 1940, he was flat broke. His books, including The Great Gatsby, were out of print, he had failed as a writer in Hollywood, he owed his publisher a fortune, his wife Zelda was in an asylum and he was a binge drinker. Hemingway on the other hand was going from strength to strength. His novel about the Spanish Civil War For Whom The Bell Tolls, published the year Fitzgerald died, was a hit with the critics and a commercial success, and he later on went on to win the Nobel Prize. Of course, it ended badly for Papa. He became paranoid and eventually ...

"Europe only saves if Germany leaves the euro" And 'the opinion of Alberto Bagnai . The political scientist Edward Luttwak, "the single currency lethal, Italy to go away." But between euphoria from "new mark" and panic "Lirette" is pretty obvious what is right to choose.On June 15, the next will be presented in Paris on the "Manifesto of the European Solidarity", a proposal for a controlled segmentation of the ' Eurozone at the exit of the most competitive countries, such as strategy to avoid the economic and political collapse of the ' EU. The proposal is not original: Back in October 2010, the Nobel Prize winner Joseph Stiglitz had told the Sunday Telegraph that if Germany had not abandoned the euro, there was a risk that the Eurozone governments chose the road of austerity, dragging the continent into a new recession. So it was. The idea of Stiglitz has been deepened and appropriated by a group of European economists and politicians with diverse academic paths: by conservatives Hans-Olaf Henkel (ex-pre ...

Autobiography of a Yogi Rabindranath Tagore and I Compare Schools "Rabindranath Tagore taught us to sing, as a natural form of self-expression, like the birds." Bhola Nath, a bright fourteen-year-old lad at my Ranchi school, gave me this explanation after I had complimented him one morning on his melodious outbursts. With or without provocation, the boy poured forth a tuneful stream. He had previously attended the famous Tagore school of "Santiniketan" (Haven of Peace) at Bolpur. "The songs of Rabindranath have been on my lips since early youth," I told my companion. "All Bengal, even the unlettered peasants, delights in his lofty verse." Bhola and I sang together a few refrains from Tagore, who has set to music thousands of Indian poems, some original and others of hoary antiquity. "I met Rabindranath soon after he had received the Nobel Prize for literature," I remarked after our vocalizing. "I was drawn to visit him because I admired his undiplomatic courage in disposing of his literary critics." I chu ...

Having been mocked for his abilities and demeanour, the all-rounder is finally getting the positive recognition he deserves... Ravindra Jadeja appeals during India's recent Champions Trophy victory over South Africa in Cardiff. Between 14 March and 18 March this year, during the third Test between India and Australia at Mohali, the Wikipedia page profiling the India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was edited 93 times until a flair for mischievous embellishment and persistence were finally conquered by veracity and vigilance. It commenced with an opening summary listing achievements of staggering magnitude before a significantly more mundane truth reasserted itself after an epic game of editorial whack-a-mole played out with the backspace key instead of a mallet. "Sir Ravindra Jadeja or Ravindrasinh Anirudhsinh Jadeja (born 6 December 1988)," the spoof introduction began, "is a philanthropist, a Nobel Prize winner, a double Laureus Sportsman of the Year and the nearest human to being god.

WAR DRUG’ AIDED NAZIS DEPT. Here’s an interesting piece regarding the use of an early-day crystal meth used by German soldiers during the Third Reich era. It seems the “War on Drugs” may have begun as a “War Drug.” As you read this, recall that our troops today are being given a debilitating blend of such drugs along with questionable vaccines and that for the past couple of years the greatest cause of death among our soldiers has been suicide. A bottle of Pervitin, dating from around 1940. The packing reads: “Alertness aid,” to be taken “to maintain wakefulness” — but, it continues with an exclamation point, “only from time to time”! (via Der Spiegel) In 1972, Heinrich Böll won the Nobel Prize for literature. But before he became a writer of novels, short stories, and essays, Böll was a writer of letters. During his early 20s, which also happened to be during World War II, he was conscripted into the German military. And as he fought, serving in France, Romania, Hungary, and f ...

Akinwande Oluwole "Wole" Soyinka (born July 13, 1934) is a Nigerian writer, poet and playwright. In 1986, he became the first African to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. In 1994, he was designated UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for the promotion of African culture, Human Rights, freedom of expression, media and communication. Here is his opinion about the religion of peace in the UK: "England is the breeding ground of fundamentalist Muslims. Its social logic is to allow all religions to preach openly. But this is illogic, because none of the other religions preach apocalyptic violence. And yet England allows it. Remember, that country was the breeding ground for communism, too. Karl Marx did all his work in libraries there."

I was just shocked to learn that the body of Pablo Neruda, one of the world's finest poets and chilean socialist diplomats, was exhumed in April under increasing speculation that he was poisoned during the (US-backed) Pinochet military dictatorship which staged a coup d'état in 1973 against the country's democratically elected socialist government. If this is true, pinochet's illegitimate government will be known as one that, on top of murdering, torturing and disappearing tens of thousands of activists, broke the hands of a popular folk guitarist and poisoned a Nobel Prize winning poet. Unforgivable savagery. When the military police came to his home in Isla Negra, it is rumored he remarked, "Look around - you will only find one thing of danger to you - poetry."

This Wonder Material Does it All… and It’s Just Getting Started Published Tue, Jun 4th, 2013 Elizabeth Carney, Senior Columnist In academic circles, one discovery has shaken the very foundations of structural engineering, quantum physics, and nanoscience more than any other. It was discovered by accident by two scientists at the University of Manchester blowing off some steam one Friday night while playing around with Scotch tape. Six years after their discovery, they collected the Nobel Prize for their efforts. Its properties and behaviors are so full of curious but beneficial contradictions that it has spawned over 100,000 studies since its discovery in 2004. For instance, it is the strongest material currently known to man, and yet also the best conductor of heat and a good conductor of electricity. It can block helium, the smallest atom on the periodic table, but it’s permeable to water vapor. It’s said to be harder than a diamond, yet flexible like rubber. Oh, and did I mention it’s one a . ...

Dynamic Learning Program by ANNA KATHARINA on SEPTEMBER 19, 2010 in DISTANCE EDUCATION,NURSE QUAD,SCHOOL Dynamic Learning Program, “Learning by doing” and ” Road map and a compass for learning”. Christopher Bernido and his wife, Ma. Victoria Carpio-Bernido introduced a cost effective method of teaching science and non-science project called the Dynamic Learning program (DLP) in 2002. Their DLP learning innovation earned for the couple the highly 2010 Ramon Magsaysay Awards, Asia’s equivalent of the Nobel Prize. The Dynamic Learning Program works on the principle of “learning is by doing”, it is student-centered, it’s a system of teaching that focuses on student activity rather than on traditional classroom lectures. The set-up is 70% student activity–30% lecture/discussion, and usually national experts do the majority of the lectures via video. The students learn independently, because each activity is provided with a clear, learning target. The student will try to understand the lesson ...

Brother-in-law of Chinese Nobel winner jailed for 11 years A Chinese court on Sunday sentenced the brother-in-law of jailed Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo to 11 years in prison on charges of fraud in a case that rights activists have called another example of official retribution on the Liu family. Supporters of Liu Hui say his case was trumped up, aimed at thwarting the increasing attention by the rights community on the plight of Liu Xia, who has remained under effective house arrest since her husband Liu Xiaobo won the Nobel Prize in 2010. The court in Huairou, a one-hour drive northeast of Beijing, convicted Liu Hui, a manager in a real estate company in the southern city of Shenzhen, on charges of defrauding a man called Zhang Bing of 3 million yuan ($490,000) with another colleague, lawyer Mo Shaoping told reporters. "As Liu Hui's defense attorney, I definitely do not approve of this verdict, because we see this fundamentally as a civil issue, and it fundamentally does not constitute criminal ...

On this date in 1916, Francis Crick was born in Northampton, England. He studied physics at University College, London, earned a B.Sc. in 1937, and began research for a Ph.D., which was interrupted by the outbreak of World War II. He served as a scientist for the British Admiralty, which he left in 1947 to study biology. He joined the Medical Research Council Unit in Cavendish Laboratory Cambridge, and obtained a Ph.D. in 1954. He met James Watson in 1951 and together they proposed the double-helix structure for DNA by 1953. In 1962, he, Watson and Maurice Wilkins won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their long-awaited breakthrough in determining the structure and replication scheme of DNA. Crick taught at various universities, including Harvard, Cambridge and University College, London, and became a non-resident Fellow of Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego. In a book recapping his career, What a Mad Pursuit, Crick writes candidly of his rejection of religion. As a school boy, ...

Story of the Day: 'Allesverloren' by Nadine Gordimer. A recently widowed academic travels to the UK for a conference and encounters a male photographer with whom her husband had had a one-off drunken pre-marriage tryst. When really firing on all cylinders, Nadine Gordimer, South Africa's 1991 Nobel Prize for Literature laureate, is an exquisite short story writer, fearless in her explorations and uncommonly perceptive. 'Allesverloren' (which translates as 'Everything Lost' and is also the name of a brand of wine) is the stand-out story from her 2007 collection, Beethoven Was One-Sixteenth Black. Moving and beautifully written, it is at once a captivating straight narrative and a deep exploration of a grieving heart trying to come to terms with death, and in some way perhaps diminish its impact through the magic of detail and memory. Her writing has in recent years thinned a little, and the dense, sensuous sentences of her earlier books is no longer always in evidence, but 'Allesverloren' carries all the w ...

Albert Einstein was a German-born physicist, although most people probably know him as the most intelligent person who ever lived. His name has become part of many languages when we want to say someone is a genius, as in the phrase, “She’s a real Einstein”. He must have been pretty brainy to discover the Theory of Relativity and the equation E=mc2. In 1999, ‘Time’ magazine named Einstein as the Person of the Century. No one could have guessed this would happen when he was at school. He was extremely interested in science but hated the system of learning by heart. He said it destroyed learning and creativity. He had already done many experiments, but failed the entrance exams to a technical college. He didn’t let this setback stop him. When he was 16, he performed his famous experiment of imagining traveling alongside a beam of light. He eventually graduated from university, in 1900, with a degree in physics. Twelve years later he was a university professor and in 1921, he won the Nobel Prize f ...

WALLY GILBERT “A Room of Light” May 8 - July 9, 2013 at Milton Art Museum, 900 Randolph Street, Canton, MA 02021 Khaki Gallery Boston and Milton Art Museum are pleased to present “A Room of Light,” recent works by Wally Gilbert, a Nobel Prize-winning molecular biologist turned visual artist. The twelve images featured in this exhibition are all on LED light- illuminated frames. Unlike his previous works that were based on geometrical patterns, Gilbert’s recent works are based on pure photographic imagery. These images exemplify the artist’s delight in color and form, and his search for a three-dimensional effect on a two-dimensional surface. “Some of the images lend themselves to severe enhancement in color space. By driving all the pixels to full color saturation, I create an image that loses some of the photographic clarity and achieves a “painterly” quality. By presenting these images on an LED light-frame, I create jewel-like effects that can light up the room” said Gilbert. ...

Ernest Hemingway : Overview Author : Stewart F. Sanderson Source : Reference guide to American Literature Literature Resource Center When Ernest Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, the Swedish Academy commented on the central themes of his work. Courage and compassion in a world of violence and death were seen as the distinguishing marks of "one of the great writers of our time ... who, honestly and undauntedly, reproduces the genuine features of the hard countenance of the age." These comments sum up perceptively the characteristic preoccupations of Hemingway's fiction and of the heroic code of behavior that it explores. But they do less than justice to another aspect of his writing. Hemingway was also a deliberate and careful artist, for whom every book was, in his own words, "a new beginning" in which the writer "should always try for something that has never been done." Hemingway started his working life as a newspaper reporter, an excellent training in writing graphic declaratory pr ...

John Nash was born on June, 13 1928 in Bluefield, West Virginia. John was brough up in a loving household that nurtured his genius. It was apparent at an early age he liked to work independently, often playing alone. He has been awarded the von Neumann Prize and the 1994 Nobel peace price for economics, as well as fellowships of prestigious scientific academies and societies. The end of A Beautiful mind, the oscar nominated movie based loosely on the life of Nobel Prize winner John Forbes Nash Jr., depicts the Princeton mathematicians emrergance from the stronghold of paranoid schizophrenia, the most feared and disabling of mental illness. Moviegoers who have watched the cinematic metamorphosis. Many might assume that Nashs recovery from three decades of Psychosis is unique. Mental health experts say that while Nashs life is undeniably remarkable, his gradual recovery from schizophrenia is not. If anything his story should inspire us to reconsider antipsychotics long term efficacy with an honest open mind ...

EVERY DISEASE CAN BE LINKED TO A MINERAL DEFICIENCY Dr. Linus Pauling---two times Nobel Prize winner and a renowned scientist testified before the 74th Congress of the United States of America in 1936 that: “You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency.” This powerful scientific statement deserves serious attention. For this reason, we have researched and gathered the following information pertaining to the importance of minerals. Of all the minerals, many scientists agree that Fulvic Acid is chief due to agressive farming, all the minerals that used to be in the ground and therefore your food, are depleted why is this? the Bible tells us to sow and harvest for six years and allow the land to rest for the seventh year.

The power of the left eye. An original discovery by the Author. To explain how to see the side of a person that they choose to hide and to see the true self, the window to the soul, we first need a bit of science. We all have two brain hemispheres. A left brain and a right brain separated into two distinct cerebral hemispheres, connected by the corpus callosum. The two sides resemble each other and each hemisphere's structure is mostly mirrored by the other side. But despite the similarities, the functions of each hemisphere are different and in many ways unique. The discovery that the human brain has two different ways of thinking developed through the work of Nobel Prize winner psycho biologist Roger W Sperry in the 60's. The idea of left brain and right brain thinking emerged where the visual right brain is seen to processes information intuitively and simultaneously, looking first at the whole picture then breaking it into details. The verbal left brain processes information analytically and sequentia ...

Today’s Hero - 279-Phillip A. Sharp Thursday 06-Jun-13 Phillip Allen Sharp [Born: 06 Jun 1944, Falmouth, USA] is a geneticist and molecular biologist who co-discovered RNA splicing. He shared the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Richard J. Roberts for "the discovery that genes in eukaryotes are not contiguous strings but contain introns, and that the splicing of messenger RNA to delete those introns can occur in different ways, yielding different proteins from the same DNA sequence". The discovery of split genes has been of fundamental importance for today's basic research in biology, as well as for research into the development of cancer and other diseases. Sharp is also a man of business accomplishments, co-founder of three successful companies: Biogen (now Biogen Idec), a huge pharmaceutical, medical research, and genetic engineering conglomerate; Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, which develops ribonucleic acid (RNA)-based therapeutics; and Magen Biosciences, a company researching skin physiol ...

A Brief History of Electronic devices Modern electronics began with the invention of the vacuum tube by Dr Lee Deforest in 1907. The first vacuum tube was not an amplifier but the vacuum tube soon developed into a device with many functions, including the ability to amplify very small electrical signals. For the next nearly 50 years, the vacuum tube was king of electronics. By today’s standards, it was not very efficient in the use of electricity. It generated a lot of extra heat with the filament as the source of electrons. The transistor did not need a hot filament to generate electrons and was the first “Solid State Device”. The transistor was invented December 16th 1947 at Bell Laboratory by the team of William Schockley, John Bardeem and Walter Brattain. This team was later awarded the Nobel Prize for this work. The first practical use of transistors was in the mid 1950’s. The Integrated Circuit (more than one transistor on a singlepiece of Silicon crystal) was invented in July of 1958 by ...

Why is Modern Wheat is Poisonous? "Today's wheat is a far cry from what it was 50 years ago. "Back in the 1950s, scientists began cross-breeding wheat to make it hardier, shorter, and better-growing. This work, which won U.S. plant scientist Norman Borlaug the Nobel Prize, introduced some compounds to wheat that aren't entirely human friendly. "As cardiologist Dr. William Davis noted in his book, Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight and Find Your Path Back to Health, today's hybridized wheat contains sodium azide, a known toxin. "It also goes through a gamma irradiation process during manufacturing. "Gamma rays change the molecular structure of the food, which can produce mutagens such as formaldehyde and benzene, chemicals suspected of causing cancer. Food irradiation also causes nutrients in the food to be destroyed. Vitamins A, C, E, K, the entire B group, amino acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids are all affected by irradiation.")

From the book The Universe from Nothing by Lawrence Krauss. The Nobel Prize-winning physicist Frank Wilczek has suggested that string theorists have invented a new way of doing physics, reminiscent of a novel way of playing darts. First, one throws the dart against a blank wall, and then one goes to the wall and draws a bull 's-eye around where the dart landed.

The Human Condition is Sorrow. On Fred Schepisi’s ‘The Eye of the Storm,’ from Patrick White’s Novel. A masterpiece of film. White’s novel won him his Nobel Prize. A rich and sick old woman is choosing her moment to die, so calls to her bedside the son Basil, an actor, and daughter Dorothy, a successfully alimonied divorcee, who are both expecting fat legacies, but mother prefers slow and extravagant dying, enjoying the dismay of her beneficiaries at the cost of her palliative care. From her deathbed she continues to rule them with small cruelties, as she has all their lives. We know White had wanted to leave school in England to become an actor, but his parents refused. Taking refuge in introspection caused his estrangement from his parents. Basil may contain much of Patrick White. In the novel, Basil’s recognitions and recollections dart about, mid sentence, in a way which is sometimes kin to Proust’s. I had forgotten how Patrick White was drawn to cruelties. In mid 1970s, after Wh ...

Walking Sermon In India, there is a traditional greeting called ``Namasthe.'' It is done by folding both hands together, bowing your head slightly and saying ``Namasthe''. It means, ``the divinity in me salutes the divinity in you.''It is a sign of humility. Self-respect does not mean that I deserve more respect than others. True humility is invisible and helps build others. The tree bends when it bears the fruit. Humility is a sign of maturity. Take successes in stride, have a big heart instead of swollen head. Humility does not mean that people think less of themselves; it only means that they think of themselves less.

City officials were stretching to shake hands and tell him how honored they were to meet him. Having thanked them, he excused himself for a moment, walked briskly through the crowd and picked up the ba ...

Dr. Francis Furchgott, Ph.D. (June 4, 1916 – May 19, 2009) Nobel Prize-winning American biochemist. Life and career-Furchgott was born in Charleston, South Carolina, to Arthur Furchgott (December 1884 - January 1971), a department store owner, and Pena (Sorentrue) Furchgott. He graduated with a degree in chemistry in 1937 from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, received his Ph.D in biochemistry at Northwestern University in 1940. He was faculty member of Washington University School of Medicine from 1949 to 1956. From 1956 to 2009, he was professor of pharmacology at the State University of New York Downstate Medical Center. In 1978, Furchgott discovered a substance in endothelial cells that relaxes blood vessels, calling it endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF). By 1986, he had worked out EDRF's nature and mechanism of action, and determined that EDRF was in fact nitric oxide (NO), an important compound in many aspects of cardiovascular physiology. This research was important in exp ...

Sir C V Raman Born on November 7th, 1888 to a lecturer, Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman is arguably the greatest mind to be born in our country. His academic brilliance was at view from a very tender age. Raman won a scholarship and joined the Presidency College at the age of 13. At 15, he completed his graduation (B.A.) and also garnered the gold medals for Physics and English. At 19, he completed his Master’s (M.A.) with the highest distinctions. Later, he cracked the Civil Services competitive exam for the Finance Department with the highest marks and was appointed as the Assistant Accountant General in Finance Department in Calcutta. Raman’s heart though was in research, and in 1917, he resigned from his government service and continued his research at the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, Calcutta. In 1930, his outstanding work related to scattering of light fetched him the Nobel Prize in Physics, which was incidentally the first for an Indian Scholar who studied entirely in Ind ...

The University of the West Indies has been producing heads of state and Nobel Prize winners for decades, so it’s no surprise that the New York chapter of the university’s alumni association has a distinguished group of awardees for its inaugural Pelican Awards Gala and Dance on Thursday in Queens. .

My conservative friends always applaud my opinion when I talk about how those on welfare should undergo drug testing and prove they are doing their best to find work however, when I bring up cases of the next type of freeloader, they turn on me and call me a liberal. In 2010, when GE was being lambasted for outsourcing jobs overseas, they made $14.2 Billion in profits, paid not one dime in federal tax and actually received $3.2 Billion in tax credits, not to mention receiving $16.1 Billion from the Federal Reserve just 2 years earlier during the financial crisis. Obama had promised to put an end to large CEO packages yet, one old GE employee saw his compensation package jump from $9.89 Million in 2009 to $21.4 Million in 2010. Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman said; " Obama has a philosophy that says, the poor must accept big cuts in Medicaid and Food Stamps; the middle class must accept big cuts in Medicare (actually the dismantling of the whole program); and corporations and the rich must accep ...

Germany's Fraunhofer Gesellschaft patented and first developed the MP3 in 1989. In 1826, Niépce, of France, produced the first photograph, which he called a heliograph. In 1979, Bell Telephone Laboratories introduced the phones, which were nearly as large and heavy as a school textbook. In 1928, Alexander Fleming discovered the first antibiotic, penicillin, which he grew in his lab using mold and fungi. Without antibiotics, infections like strep throat could be deadly. Ladislao and Georg Biró, of Hungary, introduced the ballpoint pen in 1938. The first sentence spoken over the telephone, by Alexander Graham Bell to his assistant Thomas Watson, was, "Mr. Watson, come here, I want you." Wilhelm Roentgen, a German physicist, discovered X rays in 1895. For this discovery, Roentgen was awarded the first-ever Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901. J. K.

psyc-110 : Lecture 2 - Foundations: This Is Your Brain Chapter 1. The Brain, the Mind and Dualism [00:00:00] Professor Paul Bloom: We're going to begin the class proper, Introduction to Psychology, with a discussion about the brain. And, in particular, I want to lead off the class with an idea that the Nobel Prize winning biologist, Francis Crick, described as "The Astonishing Hypothesis." And The Astonishing Hypothesis is summarized like this. As he writes, The Astonishing Hypothesis is that: You, your joys and your sorrows, your memories and your ambitions, your sense of personal identity and free will are in fact no more than the behavior of a vast assembly of nerve cells and their associated molecules. As Lewis Carroll's Alice might have phrased it, "you're nothing but a pack of neurons." It is fair to describe this as astonishing. It is an odd and unnatural view and I don't actually expect people to believe it at first. It's an open question whether you'll believe it when this class comes to an end, ...

I will give a seven minutes mini-speech next Thursday. The audience is well educated but none of the participants has science background.Would you give me a feed back or your opinion or comment to improve my mini-speech (below) please ? LEARNING FROM DEFEAT In April 1953 two unknown scientists Watson and Crick grabbed, snatched, and stole the Nobel Prize from the hands of Linus Pauling. Can we learn some wisdom from his defeat? Mr. Toastmaster, honorable guests, and fellow toastmasters lets go back to the end of 1952. At that time scientists worldwide were excited about the wrong reasons thinking that proteins were the genetic material. Furthermore, protein studies were considered the non plus ultra, the sine qua non and the holy grail of biology. Also in 1952 Linus Pauling illuminated, sparkled, and looked like a million dollars as the brightest among the world leading star scientists. He represented the Mount Everest of Science, a real Force of Nature, an unmatched genius, the greatest chemist of ...

Writing and survival: "I was able use my own life to study how somebody can survive this particularly cruel brand of totalitarianism [the Holocaust]. I didn’t want to commit suicide, but then I didn’t want to become a writer either—at least not initially. I rejected that idea for a long time, but then I realized that I would have to write, write about the astonishment and the dismay of the witness—Is that what you are going to do to us? How could we survive something like this, and understand it, too?Look, I don’t want to deny that I was a prisoner at Auschwitz and that I now have a Nobel Prize. What should I make of that? And what should I make of the fact that I survived, and continue to survive? At least I feel that I experienced something extraordinary, because not only did I live through those horrors, but I also managed to describe them, in a way that is bearable, acceptable, and nonetheless part of this radical tradition. Those of us who were brave enough to stare down this abyss—Borows ...

Karl Gjellerup (June 2, 1857 – October 13, 1919) was a Danish poet and novelist who together with his compatriot Henrik Pontoppidan won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1917. He belonged to the Modern Break-Through. He occasionally used the pseudonym Epigonos. Gjellerup was the son of a vicar in Zealand and grew up in a national and romantic idealistic atmosphere. In the 1870s he broke with his background and at first he became an enthusiastic supporter of the naturalist movement and Georg Brandes, writing audacious novels about free love and atheism. Strongly influenced by his origin he gradually left the Brandes line and 1885 he broke totally with the naturalists, becoming a new romanticist. A central trace of his life was his Germanophile attitude, he felt himself strongly attracted to German culture (his wife was a German) and 1892 he finally settled in Germany, which made him unpopular in Denmark on both the right and left wing. As years passed he totally identified with the German Empire, includin ...

Pretty awesome recognition, Amanda! Voted "Most Admired" by her senior class of 588 students. Oh, and also "Most Likely to Win a Nobel Prize" and "Wisest Beyond Her Years." I think the seniors at Clark High School got it right.

June 1st marks the passing of Werner Forssmann. He was a German physician who first inserted a catheter into a person directly into the heart. He was also the first person to have this procedure done. As an intern in cardiology he believed drugs could be administered to the heart with a catheter without killing the patient. To prove it could be done, he inserted a catheter in his own antecubital vein and, catheter dangling from his arm, proceeded to climb two flights of stairs to get an x-ray to document the catheter's position in his right atrium. This stunt earned him the ire of his superiors and he faced disciplinary action and changed his internship to urology. During World War II, he served in the German army as a doctor until he was captured and sat out the war in a prisoner of war camp. After the war, he worked as a lumberjack and country doctor until in 1956 he was surprised to receive part of the 1956 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his medical school "stunt".

(one of author scholar music literary critic Dr. John Rocco's reviews of Kentucky poet activist Ron Whitehead's works. Dr. Rocco nominated Ron for the Nobel Prize in Literature) John Rocco American Guts My manners, abominable at times, can be sweet. As I grew older I became a drunk. Why? Because I like ecstasy of the mind. I'm a Wretch. But I love love. -Jack Kerouac, Satori in Paris Ron Whitehead's poetry reminds me of the way WWII vet and renegade American filmmaker Sam Fuller described Omaha Beach on D-Day: "Lined with the intestines of men." Guts everywhere. And Fuller's thoughts on depicting war on film is reminiscent of Whitehead's poetic voice: Fuller believed the only way to authentically depict warfare would be to fire live ammo over the audience and maybe even wound someone. Whitehead's words - on the page or as live salvo - have these sort of guts: two-fisted, hard-hitting, sans nonsense, and they often go right through you. His new collection, The Declaration of Independence This Time: Selecte ...

List of Poets - Winners of the Nobel Prize in Literature. Since 1901, the Nobel Prize has been awarded annually as per Alfred Nobel's last will and testament to people who have been nominated for their commitment and vision.

About 40 years ago I bought Winston Churchill's 6 volume History of the Second World War at the Strand bookstore in NYC and although I know quite a bit about WWII I just began reading volume 1 and I'm riveted. No wonder he won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953.

Electrolysis: Electro-chemical process in which current is passed between two electrodes through an ionized solution (electrolyte) to deposit positive ions (anions) on the negative electrode (cathode) and negative ions (cations) on the positive electrode (anode). The entire system is called electrolytic cell which is used in several industries such as electroplating, refining bauxite into aluminum, producing chlorine and caustic soda from table salt (sodium chloride), and in analytical techniques such as polarography. Basic principles of electrolysis were discovered by the UK scientist Michael Faraday (1791-1867) and were developed by the Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius (1859-1927) winner of the 1903 Nobel Prize in chemistry.

3. Does God exist? The universe operates by uniform laws of nature. Why does it? Much of life may seem uncertain, but look at what we can count on day after day: gravity remains consistent, a hot cup of coffee left on a counter will get cold, the earth rotates in the same 24 hours, and the speed of light doesn't change -- on earth or in galaxies far from us. How is it that we can identify laws of nature that never change? Why is the universe so orderly, so reliable? "The greatest scientists have been struck by how strange this is. There is no logical necessity for a universe that obeys rules, let alone one that abides by the rules of mathematics. This astonishment springs from the recognition that the universe doesn't have to behave this way. It is easy to imagine a universe in which conditions change unpredictably from instant to instant, or even a universe in which things pop in and out of existence."11 Richard Feynman, a Nobel Prize winner for quantum electrodynamics, said, "Why nature is mathematical ...

As long as Paul Krugman is around, I will never have that worry. Boston University professor, Lawrence Kotlikoff has suggested that Krugman return his Nobel Prize. I hope he doesn’t. As long as someone with Krugman’s professional status gets his facts wrong in column after column, and does so in an arrogant and pompous manner, attacking the integrity and hurling insults at all who disagree with him…well, there will always be a market for a writer who is able to show that the scourge of sensible people everywhere has written one more erroneous editorial.

Why would anyone want to kill innocent people? That is the question that inevitably arises every time there is a suicide attack or a terrorist bombing. Why do they fly planes into our sacred buildings, killing thousands of innocent people? Why do they let bombs off in busy public spaces? Our national cluelessness scratches its head. The citizens in Pakistan probably ask the same of our Nobel Prize winning president. Why does he kill innocent people with drone attacks? The answer to both is simply that these actions are political. Dzhokhar in his hospital bed told authorities he and his brother did it to defend Islam. A poor reason to kill innocent people of course, and he should be prosecuted for it, but it apparently was reasonable to him. Terrorists feel they have no other choice; they feel they are the only options available to fight the oppression of a vastly superior power. They don’t see themselves as terrorists; they see themselves as heroic martyrs in a resistance movement against a giant oppres ...

I think today to be a successful writer one has to follow the guidelines laid down by the media. I can understand that Amartya Sen has received the Nobel Prize on Economics, but he has a fair understanding of media needs and makes reckless pronouncements on matters related to ancient history which for him is Jonesian history. Prof. Sukumari Bhattacharji wrote an excellent article on 'Doubts in the Vedic Age' the theme of which has been expanded by Sen in his book 'The Argumentative Indian' but the book creaks under the strain of his historical ignorance.

ISLAM IS THE ONLY REASON THAT ISLAMIC COUNTRIES ARE BACKWARDED. Show me one Islamic country that is prosperous and its people are free and happy or its jails are not filled with dissidents. During the past 105 years, 1.2 billion Muslims have produced eight Nobel Laureates with the joker Yasser Arafat and the stupid traitor Shirin Ebadi among them. That is one in every 150 million people. Less than twelve million Jews have produced 167 Nobel Laureates. That is one in every 72 thousand people. If you do the math , it’s 2084 times more likely that a Jew win the Nobel Prize than a slave of Allah. Don't you think Islam has something to do in keeping Muslims backwarded ?

Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz said it would be premature for the U.S. Federal Reserve to reduce monetary stimulus even if there’s little evidence it helped the world’s largest economy. “It’s the only stimulus,” the Columbia University professor said in an interview at the World Economic Forum in Jordan May 25. “Clearly the economy is not back to normal, and to accept this as the new normal would be really wrong.” U.S. stocks dropped and Treasuries fell for a fourth week, the longest slide since August, after Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said the Fed may cut the pace of asset purchases if policy makers see indications of sustained growth. Orders for durable goods increased more than forecast in April, signaling the economy will get a lift in the second half of the year. The U.S. economy “is still in the recovery phase, so maintaining the momentum of the growth is still a main issue” even after strong growth in the past few months, International Monetary Fund Deputy Managing Di ...

Thank you to all at the Dublin Writers Festival, The Embassy of the Republic of Lithuania, Seán Tyrrell and to everyone who visited the Centre these past two days. Goodnight!

Zeeman Effect - The Dutch physicist Pieter Zeeman discovered the effect in 1897 (he had seen a broadening of the lines a year earlier, but only saw them fully split in 1897). It can be explained in terms of classical physics, as owing to the influence of the magnetic field on the electrons in orbit around the nucleus of the atom. The existence of the effect was predicted by Hendrik Lorentz, who shared the Nobel Prize with Zeeman in 1902.

CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT ALLOWS 'NO ROOM FOR INDEPENDENT THINKING' . . . Paul Krugman Holding on to the conservative label can be tough, especially if you have your own ideas that counter the mainstream, according to Paul Krugman. The Nobel Prize-winning economist wrote in a blog post Saturday that people who identify as conservative, but take stances opposing the conservative mainstream -- acknowledging the connection between humans and global warming, opposing austerity and favoring tax increases, for example -- often find themselves disowned by the conservative movement. “There remains essentially no room for independent thinking within the conservative movement,” Krugman wrote. “Being a good liberal doesn’t require that you believe, or pretend to believe, lots of things that almost certainly aren’t true; being a good conservative does,” he went on to say. Krugman has written before that there are some issues in which there is little room for debate because the evidence is overwhelmingly in fa ...

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, the Nobel Prize-winning author and Russian dissident during the Soviet era, said, “I have spent fifty years working on the history of the Russian Revolution. In the process, I have collected hundreds of personal testimonies, read hundreds of books and contributed eight volumes of my own. But if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: MEN HAVE FORGOTTEN GOD.”

From The Final Edition: Thorbjorn Jagland, chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, said today that President Obama “really ought to consider” returning his Nobel Peace Prize Medal immediately, including the “really nice” case it came in. From Spectator.org: The party that marched American troops into Meuse-Argonne, Normandy, Iwo Jima, Inchon and Khe Sanh is back with a vengeance under President Barack Obama, who has taken to overseas war-making like a duck to water. This must have the Nobel Prize committee scratching its collective head. Obama, who less than nine months after his inauguration won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples” while fostering “a new climate” in international relations, especially in reaching out to the Islamic world, has the U.S. engaged in conflicts in six Muslim nations. Today Mr. Obama has more troops in Afghanistan than when he took office. He has widened the use of d ...

May, 25, 1865 - Pieter Zeeman was born. Zeeman was a Dutch physicist who shares the 1902 Nobel Prize with Hendrik Lorentz for the discovery of the Zeeman effect. The Zeeman effect is the splitting of spectral lines when a magnetic field is applied and demonstrates the angular momentum quantum number.

In February 2012, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Frank Wilczek decided to go public with a strange and, he worried, somewhat embarrassing idea. Impossible as it seemed, Wilczek had developed an apparent proof of “time crystals” — physical structures that move in a repeating pattern, like minute hands rounding clocks, without expending energy or ever winding down. Unlike clocks or any other known objects, time crystals derive their movement not from stored energy but from a break in the symmetry of time, enabling a special form of perpetual motion.

THE POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a biochemical technology in molecular biology to amplify a single or a few copies of a piece of DNA across several orders of magnitude, generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence. Developed in 1983 by Kary Mullis,[1][2] PCR is now a common and often indispensable technique used in medical and biological research labs for a variety of applications.[3][4] These include DNA cloning for sequencing, DNA-based phylogeny, or functional analysis of genes; the diagnosis of hereditary diseases; the identification of genetic fingerprints (used in forensic sciences and paternity testing); and the detection and diagnosis of infectious diseases. In 1993, Mullis was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry along with Michael Smith for his work on PCR.[5] The method relies on thermal cycling, consisting of cycles of repeated heating and cooling of the reaction for DNA melting and enzymatic replication of the DNA. Primers (short ...

What do Abraham Lincoln, Henry Ford, Henry John Heinz, Walt Disney, Milton Hershey, Soichiro Honda, Akio Morita, Bill Gates, Harland David Sanders, and Donald Trump have in common? They were all failures at some time in their life. For most, the climb to the top is plagued with adversity, stress, and a sense of self-doubt. Albert Einstein couldn’t speak until he was four or write until he was seven, making his teachers think he was handicapped. He was even expelled from school but ended up winning the Nobel Prize for physics. Thomas Edison was considered too stupid to do anything and was fired from the first few jobs he took. Oprah Winfrey was an abused child and got fired from her first TV job because “she was unfit to TV,” and Michael Jordan couldn’t even make his school basketball team. Yes it’s a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll, as the lyrics of ACDC go. The old adage “good judgment comes from experience and most of that comes from making bad judgments,” makes sense – ...

May 24 Most Favored: “Christians are supposed not merely to endure change, nor even to profit by it, but to cause it.” Harry Emerson Fosdick, American clergyman 1878-1969 “I do not believe in political movements. I believe in personal movement, that movement of the soul when a man who looks at himself is so ashamed that he tries to make some sort of change - within himself, not on the outside.” Joseph Brodsky, Russian born American Poet and Writer. Nobel Prize for Literature in 1987. 1940-1996 “I don't think the human mind can comprehend the past and the future. They are both just illusions that can manipulate you into thinking there's some kind of change.” Bob Dylan, American folksinger, b.1941 Favorites: “Fundamental ideas are not a consequence of experience, but a result of the particular constitution and activity of the mind, which is independent of all experience in its origin, though constantly combined with experience in its exercise.” William Whewell, English polymath, scientist, A ...

Very much unlike me, I have been too weak to post anything on the death of Chinua Achebe; the great man and father of African literature (irrespective of Wole Soyinka's opinion). All through my years in the university, "Things Fall Apart was a recurring decimal in my course of study! I fell in love with the style of this great oracle who has grown larger even in death! To the myopic, Achebe did not win the Nobel Prize, therefore he isnt the father of African literature! He didnt win the so called prize because he refused to conform to the standards that will devalue Africa! Is TFA not a reply to "Mr Johnson" which portrayed Africa as the dark continent. Achebe rose in our defense by telling the white man that while he sat in London eating hamburger, Okonkwo sat in his hut in Umuofia, eating roasted plantain with palm oil! Achebe highlighted every aspect of African tradition. He gave our literature a voice! I have refused to accept his death because I got so used to his works that I forgot he will one day ...

Ernest Hemingway...severely wounded in WW1 on the Italian front lines as an ambulance driver, survived WW2 in London as a war corespondent, was present at the Normandy Landings and the liberation of Paris. He went in as a correspondent with the 22nd Infantry Regiment and ended up organizing a small band of local militia and fought with them. Was courts martialed for that because it was against the Geneva Conventions, but he beat the rap. He ended up being award the Bronze Star for having been "under fire in combat areas in order to obtain an accurate picture of conditions," with the commendation that "through his talent of expression, Mr. Hemingway enabled readers to obtain a vivid picture of the difficulties and triumphs of the front-line soldier and his organization in combat." Then he went on to survive two successive plane crashes in Africa, and write some of the most influential books in American literature, winning both a Pulitzer and a Nobel Prize in literature. He was an American icon, I dare say ...

Come back George Orwell, all is forgiven. Listening to Obama justify US use of drones. We kill huge numbers of civilians so we'll be able to kill fewer civilians. Why are any of us supposed to sit here and think this is anything less than deeply insane, deeply immoral and NOTHING we want to have any part of? How did this man get the Nobel Prize? Why isn't it taken away from him as soon as this speech is over?

.*.23 fascinating facts about the number twenty-three.*. 1 23 is one of the most commonly cited prime numbers - a number that can only be divided by itself and one. Twenty three is the lowest prime that consists of consecutive digits. Primes have been described as the "atoms " of mathematics - the building blocks of the world of numbers. An American businessman has put up a US$1m (£500,000) prize for the first mathematician to find a pattern in primes - a problem known as the Riemann hypothesis. 2 The number has been the subject of not one but two films: the 1998 German movie, 23, and The Number 23, starring Jim Carrey, released (naturally) today. Each has a main character obsessed with the number. 3 John Forbes Nash, the Nobel Prize-winning economist who was the subject of the film, A Beautiful Mind, starring Russell Crowe, was obsessed with 23. It featured prominently in his battle with mental illness. His breakdown began when he claimed that a photograph of Pope John XXIII on the cover of Life magazin ...

These are the lyric's to Sean's chemistry protect. He wrote this TONIGHT. I am impressed by the lyrics. Wish you could hear the melody on guitar. Such a proud Mom! It is about Niel's Bohr theory. Niels Bohr was one of the foremost scientists of modern physics, best known for his substantial contributions to quantum theory and his Nobel Prize-winning research on the structure of atoms. Bohr's greatest contribution to modern physics was the atomic model. The Bohr model shows the atom as a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons. So here are his lyric's: Neils Bohr You thought it would stay But you couldn't see The way you thought it was The way I thought it should be See, my master's degree Proposing all the principles of Uncertainty. On electron cloudy days Looking for this particle "Just read my book, you'll have no luck", I'd say An atom, mostly empty space Rutherford can't say a word Have you seen my work? My model's used today Take a quantum jump to me Feel frequencies ...

10 writers who undoubtedly deserve the Nobel Prize for Literature. Has the award become discredited by not naming them winners? Maybe we need a bit more transparency with the process. I think the awards committee should see this as the main lesson to be learnt from Achebe's passing. For the sake of their own credibility, they need to tell us how the process works: [1] Chinua Achebe [2] Wilbur Smith [3] Salman Rushdie [4] Ngugi Wa Thiong'O [5] Danielle Steele [6] Sidney Sheldon [7] Robert Ludlum [8] Jeffrey Archer [9] Jackie Collins [10] Frederick Forsyth

INTRODUCTION This 26,500-word novella, a simple narrative fable about the struggles of a poor Cuban fisherman in his quest for a giant marlin, earned Hemingway the Pulitzer Prize for fiction and the American Academy of Arts and Letters' Award of Merit Medal for the Novel in 1953, and played a large part in his winning the 1954 Nobel Prize for literature. Written in spare, journalistic prose with minimal action and only two principle characters, the work is at once a realistic depiction of the events and locale described and a symbolic exploration of the human struggle with the natural world, the human capacity to transcend hardship, and personal triumph won from defeat. Although Hemingway claimed that in the novella he "tried to make a real old man, a real boy, a real sea and a real fish and real sharks," the work is rich in imagery suggestive of deeper meanings than appear on the surface. As Hemingway remarked,The Old Man and the Sea is written on the "principle of the iceberg": seven-eighths of it is u ...
