Wolverhampton's Blue Plaques Gorsebrook Road 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.

58. Creationism 1564 1642) Gassendi, Pierre (1592 - 1655) Geering, Esme' (1920 - 1997) Gilbert,Sir Joseph Henry (1817 - 1901) glaisher, james (1809 - 1903) Gosse, Philip H http://www.ldolphin.org/creationism.html

CREATIONISM Helen Fryman June 26,1999 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). Information regarding the Islamic creation beliefs may be found here: http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/~bakal/islam/nature.html

University of Oxford Mathematical Institute Locator: Home Site Map About the Mathematical Institute Oxford Figures, Chapter 1: 800 years of mathematical traditions The publishing tradition 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.

Journeys over Land and Sea Journeys of the Mind Journeys of the Imagination Journeys of the Mind: Explaining the Heavens Early attempts to explain the arrangement and movement of the planets challenged accepted religious dogma and led to advances in astronomy, meteorology, and astrophysics with great practical application. John Rand Capron (1829-1888) Auroræ: Their Characters and Spectra Gift of the Burndy Library Early voyagers to the polar regions often saw the northern lights, a remarkable luminous display that some considered to be mists emanating from the earth. Capron was one of the first scientists to discuss the chemical and physical nature of the phenomenon. By the 1950s, it was accepted that the northern lights are caused by the interaction of high-energy electrons from the Sun with atoms in the Earth’s upper atmosphere.
