In the skull the upper canine is separated from the outermost incisor, instead of close to it as in the cuscuses (fig. 1). The best-known species is the brush-tailed phalanger, or brush-tailed opossum (T. vulpecula), of Australia, an animal of the size of a small fox, represented in Tasmania by the brown phalanger (T. vulpecula fuliginosus). The short-eared phalanger (T. canina) represents the group in Southern Queensland and New South Wales. The dental formula in both is 1. ~, a. 1~, p. ~, m. ~. These animals are wholly arboreal and mainly nocturnal in their habits; and it is these which form the chief game in “opossum-shooting” among the gum-trees by moonlight.

He was entrusted with the building of the temple of Zeus Atabyrius in the citadel, and took advantage of his position to make himself despot (Aristotle, Politics, v. 10). Under his rule Agrigentum seems to have attained considerable prosperity. He supplied the city with water, adorned it with fine buildings, and strengthened it with walls. On the northern coast of the island the people of Himera elected him general with absolute power, in spite of the warnings of the poet Stesichorus (Aristotle, Rhetoric, ii. 20). According to SuIdas he succeeded in making himself master of the whole of the island. He was at las,t overthrown in a general rising headed by Telemachus, the ancestor of Theron (tyrant c. 488—472), and burned in his brazen bull.

The formation of geodetic datums is introduced and the necessity of connecting or joining datums is discussed. Methods used to connect independent geodetic systems to a single world reference system are discussed, including the role of gravity data. The 1983 edition of this publication contains an expanded discussion of satellite and related technological applications to geodesy and an updated description of the World Geodetic System. The Defense Mapping Agency is not responsible for publishing revisions or identifying the obsolescence of its technical publications. FOR THE DIRECTOR: VIRGIL J JOHNSON Captain, USN Chief of Staff DEFENSE MAPPING AGENCY The Defense Mapping Agency provides mapping, charting and geodetic support to the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the military departments and other Department of Defense components. The support includes production and worldwide distribution of maps, charts, precise positioning data and digital data for strategic and tactical military operations and weapon systems. The Defense Mapping Agency also provides nautical charts and marine navigational data for the worldwide merchant marine and private yachtsmen.

(8) The Round Earth and Christopher Columbus Replica of the flagship of Columbus, sailing past the shuttle launch pad on Cape Canaveral. Today it is well known that the Earth is a sphere, or very close to one (its equator bulges out a bit because of the Earth's rotation). When Christopher Columbus proposed to reach India by sailing west from Spain, he too knew that the Earth was round. India was the source of precious spices and other rare goods, but reaching it by sailing east was difficult, because Africa blocked the way. On a round globe, however, it should also be possible to reach India by sailing west, and this Columbus proposed to do (he wasn't the first one to suggest thissee below). Sometimes the claim is made that those who opposed Columbus thought the Earth was flat, but that wasn't the case at all. Even in ancient times sailors knew that the Earth was round and scientists not only suspected it was a sphere, but even estimated its size. If you stand on the seashore and watch a ship sailing away, it will gradually disappear from view. But the reason cannot be the distance: if a hill or tower are nearby, and you climb to the top after the ship has completely disappeared, it becomes visible again. Furthermore, if on the shore you watch carefully the way the ship disappears from view, you will notice that the hull vanishes first, while the masts and sails (or the bridge and smokestack) disappear last. It is as if the ship was dropping behind a hill, which in a way is

The Antikythera Mechanism The many misconceptions in the science of the ancient Greeks become apparent during the Copernican Revolution. In several ways though, ancient Greek science was more advanced than usually acknowledged. For example, Over 200 years before the birth of Christ the Greek scholar Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of the Earth to be 25,000, just 99 miles more than the actual figure, 24, 901 miles. Although Eratosthenes made mistakes in his calculations, these mistakes cancelled each other out to produce a very accurate result. Several decades later, another Greek scientist, Posidonius, believing Eratosthenes to be wrong, calculated the circumference to be 18,000 miles (this figure Columbus would use when planing the voyage that resulted with the European discovery of the New World). Posidonius was from Rhodes, where the Antikythera mechanism is thought to originate. Links of Interest: E. Christopher Zeeman, K.B., F.R.S.

Z Stoics amd Stoic Philosophy The Stoic School was founded in 322 B.C. by Zeno of Cittium and existed until the closing of the Athenian schools (A.D. 429), (it took the name from the Stoa poikile , the painted hall or colonnade in which the lectures were held.) Its history may be divided into three parts: (1) Ancient Stoicism Middle Stoicism New Stoicism (1) Ancient Stoicism (322-204) eimarmene, logos ); Zeus, or providence, the eternal principle of finality adapting all other things to the needs of rational beings; the law determining the natural rules that govern the society of men and of the gods; the artistic fire, the expression of the active force which produced the world one, perfect, and complete from the beginning, with which it will be reunited through the universal conflagration, following a regular and ever recurring cycle. The popular gods are different forms of this force, described allegorically in myths. This view of nature is the basis for the optimism of the Stoic moral system; confidence in the instinctive faculties, which, in the absence of a perfect knowledge of the world, ought to guide man's actions; and again, the infallible wisdom of the sage, which Chrysippus tries to establish by a dialectic derived from Aristotle and the Cynics. But this optimism requires them to solve the following problems: the origin of the passions and the vices; the conciliation of fate and liberty; the origin of evil in the world. On the last two subjects they propounded, all the arguments that were advanced later up to the time of Leibniz.

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... E > Eclecticism A B C D ... Z Eclecticism (Gr. ek, legein ; Lat. eligere , to select) A philosophical term meaning either a tendency of mind in a thinker to conciliate the different views or positions taken in regard to problems, or a system in philosophy which seeks the solution of its fundamental problems by selecting and uniting what it regards as true in the various philosophical schools. In the first sense, eclecticism is a characteristic of all the great philosophers, with special development in some, such as Leibniz; an element of the integral method of philosophy more or less emphasized in the divers schools. The term eclectics , however, is properly applied to those who accept Eclecticism as the true and fundamental system of philosophy. It is with Eclecticism in this strict sense that we are dealing here. As a rule, in the history of philosophy, Eclecticism follows a period of scepticism. In presence of conflicting doctrines regarding nature, life, and God , the human mind despairs of attaining scientific and exact knowledge about these important subjects. Eclecticism then aims at constructing a system broad and vague enough to include, or not to exclude, the principles of the divers schools, though giving at times more importance to those of one school, and apparently sufficient to furnish a basis for the conduct of life. In the latter period of Greek philosophy, during the two centuries preceding the Christian Era and the three centuries following, Eclecticism is represented among the Epicureans by Asclepiades of Bithynia; among the Stoics by Boethus, Panetius of Rhodes, (about 180-110

PTOLEMY'S GEOGRAPHIA DIDACTIC COMMENTARY ON HISPANIA Province of Hispanian Baetica Introduction The final form of the province of Baetica was created, by Augustus, in 27BC. from what had been, up until then, part of the province of Hispania Ulterior and assigned to the Senate. It then consisted of more than 175 inhabited settlements and was divided into four judicial sections. Outline of the Province In §2/8, Ptolemy sets out the boundaries of the province, tri–angular in shape, indicating that, on the western and northern sides it shares a boundary with Lusitania and Tarraconensis respectively and on the eastern and southern sides it shares the continuation of the boundary with Tarraconensis and the Outer and Balearic Seas respectively. The cardinal points given are; Ptolemy's coordinates as opposed to those of today South/West – mouth of Anas river (Guadiana) 4°20 North/East – location of this river where it crosses into Tarraconensis. 9° South/East – Promontory of Charidemi. 12° At first glance there would appear to be no relationship at all between Ptolemy's co–ordinates and those of the present time except to note that there is a severe longtitudinal drift to the west in his readings.

PTOLEMY'S GEOGRAPHIA BOOK I - COMMENTARY ON DIDACTIC CONTENT PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF CARTOGRAPHY SECTIONS 6 - 17 Section Six Paragraph §1 gives us no idea of Marinus's dates, only that he prepared serious commentaries on the locations of various journeys and places throughout the known world. However, since Ptolemy draws attention to the various errors that have been introduced by copyists of Marinus’s work we must assume that a fair amount of time has elapsed since his work was carried out. Therefore, the translation of usuau o V ' to read 'latest' rather than 'last' is questionable and we should perhaps allow time for a much as much as two or three generations to have elapsed to make sense of Ptolemy. Less time than that would have allowed first hand accounts to have reached Ptolemy by virtue of generation overlap and reporting. Thus a margin of about one hundred years might seem to be an optimum figure. In which case we should be considering dates for Marinus that would precede and overlap the Claudian occupation of Britain and might account for some of the anomalies in the map references. In paragraph §2 Ptolemy agrees that the work of Marinus is so comprehensive as to need no additions – kan aphrkesen h in ap o u o uuwn µo nwn uwn up oµ nh au o n p o ieisqai uhn uhV o ik o u enhV kauagrajhn hden ui periergaz oµ en o iV However, he qualifies this by indicating that it is only right that if he, (Ptolemy) finds any passage that is at odds with a more modern concept or based on untrustworthy sources, it should be set right. Thus Ptolemy clearly takes on the role of editor rather than author, together with the supervisory role that all editors assume. We should not expect, therefore, that Ptolemy will introduce any new material, merely assume that he will conscientiously monitor the work of Marinus –

The history of cartography Alphabetical list of History Topics History Topics Index This article describes how map making has played an important role in the development of mathematics. It is hardly surprising that cartography should be considered as a mathematical disciple in early times since cartography measures positions of places (mathematics was the science of measurement) and represents a the surface of a sphere on a two dimensional map. Early attempts at maps were severely limited by lack of knowledge of anything other than very local features. In Egypt geometry was used from very early times to help measure land. The annual flooding by the Nile meant that without such measurements it was impossible to reconstruct the boundaries that had existed before the flood. Such measurements, however, seem only to have been of local use and there is no evidence that the Egyptians integrated the measurements into maps of large areas. The oldest extant example of a local Egyptian map is the Turin papyrus which dates from around 1300 B.C. Early world maps reflect the religious beliefs of the form of the world. For example maps have been discovered on Babylonian clay tablets dating from around 600 B.C. One such map shows Babylon and the surrounding area in a stylised form with Babylon represented by a rectangle and the Euphrates river by vertical lines. The area shown is depicted as circular surrounded by water which fits the religious image of the world in which the Babylonians believed.

Cette magnificence lui mérita de nouveau l'admiration et la bienveillance du peuple; mais bientôt il ne fut pas moins l'objet de son envie, quand on le vit abandonner à ceux de ses lieutenants qu'il chérissait le plus ses gouvernements et ses armées , et passer son temps à se promener avec sa femme dans ses plus belles maisons de plaisance, soit qu'il fût toujours amoureux d elle, soit qu'en étant tendrement aimé il n'eût pas la force de s'en séparer , car on en donne cette dernière raison.

Il avait demandé au dieu par quel moyen il pourrait acquérir une très grande gloire: « Ce sera, lui répondit la Pythie, en prenant pour guide de votre vie, non l'opinion du peuple, mais votre naturel. » Texte dans la carrière de la gloire, l'occasion la plus brillante, qui pût jamais se présenter. II prit donc la défense de Roscius, et le succès qu'il eut lui attira l'admiration générale; mais la crainte du ressentiment de Sylla le détermina à voyager en Grèce; et il donna pour prétexte le besoin de rétablir sa santé. II est vrai qu'il était maigre et décharné, et qu'il avait l'estomac si faible, qu'il ne pouvait manger que fort tard et ne prenait que peu de nourriture. Ce n'est pas que sa voix ne fût forte et sonore; mais elle était dure et peu flexible: et comme il déclamait avec beaucoup de chaleur et de véhémence, en s'élevant toujours aux tons les plus hauts, on craignait que son tempérament n'en fût altéré.

The Practical Surveyor Research Institutions In researching information related to The Practical Surveyor , the following institutions were helpful. The New York State Library , for the first and second editions of Wyld's book on microfilm, and for the use of various other reference materials. The Boston Public Library , for allowing access to a first edition of The Practical Surveyor in their Rare Books room. The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Library , for general reference and a somewhat battered fourth edition of the book. The New York State Museum , for access to the Charles E. Smart collection of surveying instruments. Radius of the Earth In Mr. Wyld's book, he provides a first-order Taylor series expansion to approximate the effects of the Earth's curvature on level measurements. In this formula, the radius of the Earth is taken to be a value of 3992 miles. This is neither the modern value nor exactly any of the values that were calculated by geodecists that preceded Samuel Wyld. Although it is possible the Mr. Wyld produced this formula himself, I believe it to be more likely that he copied it from another source. I would like to locate the original source and the original radius measurement. In modern geodesy, the Earth is approximated as an oblate spheroid, also referred to as an ellipsoid. The WGS1984 ellipsoid uses an equatorial radius of 6378137 meters (3963.19 miles), and a polar radius of 6356752 meters (3949.90 miles). Historically, although the Earth was suspected of not being spherical, no measurements had yet been made with sufficient accuracy to verify in what way it varied from a sphere.
