Extractions: ALFRED (849-899) King Alfred repairing the wall of the City of London. by Frank Salisbury; courtesy of The Gresham Committee. Portrait: Mansell Collection. Born at Wantage, youngest son of King Ethelwulf of Wessex. Succeeded to throne of a failing kingdom after a desperate victory over the Danes at Ashdown. At a time when all the other kingdoms of Christian England had been broken by heathen Scandinavian hordes, he continued to resist and, after being reduced to a last refuge in the Somerset marshes, turned the tables on the invaders at the battle of Ethandun. When the Danes were at his mercy he forgave them, making it possible for the two races to live together in peace in a single island. Became the first king of all England and spent his last years restoring its shattered civilisation and helping to re-educate its people.

Extractions: National University of Singapore The questions that follow were posed by Dr Lim Kuang Hui, a leading eye specialist. We grew up in the same kampong, made up chiefly of the families of chief clerks, post-masters, land surveyors, inspectors of schools, teachers, court interpreters. A mix of Eurasians, Chinese, Tamils (almost all from Jaffna ) and a sprinkling of Malays, they were all Government servants. We lived in the six blocks of quarters, three of which faced that stretch of Bukit Timah Road between Winstedt Road and Newton Circus; the other three made up Monks Hill Terrace. While at school, Dr Lim wrote excellent poetry, a fact he strenuously denies. When he took to medicine we gained an excellent surgeon but lost a poet whose work had striking images, a fine tension, and the rare combination of conciseness and accessibility. The mind and imagination behind them have obviously remained. They account for the probing questions he posed almost off handedly. Their searching reach would require extensive treatment for a full response. They are instead met here by indications of what moves within the terrain they cover.

Extractions: Books Great writers capture soul of the millennium By Stephen Utick, Bailly Committee of Literature and Culture. During the past millennium, great writers have challenged the way we look at ourselves and the world, created new ideas and opened new doorways to understanding our universe and where we stand in it. Truly great Catholic writers have a divine gift to capture something essential about our humanity and our relationship with God through Christ the Living Word - and so inspire others centuries beyond their time. The following list contains just some of the great Catholic writers of the past millennium - saints, theologians, scholars, and others from popular culture, whose influence on Catholic spirituality is likely to survive well into the next one. We are also compiling lists of great Catholic theologians and philosophers, and Christian fictional writers. Some of these are already included in this list below in recognition of their special contribution in the domain of spirituality. Because of the special status of papal writers, the Bailly Committee is compiling a separate list of these as well, which we hope to publish later. Eleventh and Twelfth Centuries St Anselm (1033-1109) , English theologian, philosopher and bishop whose ontological proof of God’s existence in "Proslogion "has exercised minds ever since.

In the early 21st century, this was seen as the birth of "wearable" computer/display devices. Eyeglasses have two lenses (from the Latin word for "lentil"), one per eye. Putting both lenses in one tube made a telescope (Jan Lippershey, 1608), rediscovered by Galileo (1609). In Rocca (Syria), the mineral Alum is discovered. Alum, the double sulphate of aluminum and potassium, AlK(SO4)2 + 12 H2O, is a common compound of Aluminum, which was not isolated until 1825 by Hans Christian Oersted (although anticipated and named in 1807 by Sir Humphrey Davy). Alum comes to be used for dyeing, leathermaking, medicine, paper sizing, and fireproofing. The alchemist known as "

Extractions: the aptness or fitness of a metaphor Nicholas Barbules argues that there " is some nonarbitrary reason why we think and act the way we do. When a particular way of adjudicating competing claims about truth, value, or proper course of action has been retained, developed, and refined over a long period of time, there must [sic] be something to recommend it beyond the preferences of a particular group that advocates it; it must be fulfilling a complex set of purposes, and its very persistence over time suggests a flexibility and efficacy that not all alternatives can match. virulence vs benignity It is often asserted that academic honesty is good for the proper function of Science. In brief, this argument posits that scientists must trust each other and each other's reports because no one scientist or small group of scientists can verify independently each observation made by another. Similarly we might argue that the free exchange of reagents benefits Science, or that the liberal dissemination of vital information before publication would benefit Science. At some point we find as working scientists that individually, or in small groups, we cannot operate effectively if our own personal investments are to be given away too freely. In short, the personal costs of too much devotion to the "good of Science" at some point outweight the felt benefits. This realization does not negate the assertions about what is good for Science, but suggests that individual scientists will qualify the practice of that "good".

Extractions: The Reeve sat upon a ful good stot That was pomely grey and highte Scot. A long surcote of pers upon he hade, And by his syde he baar a rusty blade Geoffrey Chaucer 1340 -1400 The Name.......... Reeve the name is occupational, that is to say it describes the occupation of its original holder. Therefore we cannot trace down to one specific individual. Many hundreds if not thousands of Anglo-Saxons in the Middle Ages would have been known by the name. REEVE and REEVES origins should not be confused, REEVES, EAVES and EVES came from a completely different source, REEVES being locational - Old English, boarder or edge of a wood or hill. REEVE is a much more complex name and has often been "corrupted" to REEVES. The name REAVER is also of different origins, meaning Pillager or Barbarian. A derivative of REEVE is PORTREEVES: Port-reeve, a coastal town Mayor. One source states that REVE was taken from the Anglo-Saxon refa: and is one of our oldest local officials. The RIVES or RYVES name is of French derivation the "i" in RIVES as also the "y" in RYVES is pronounced as the French "i" that is to say, like the English double "e" in REEVES. As a general rule the final "s" in French is not pronounced, and, it might be expected that the early generations would have pronounced the name REVE. The RIVE, RYVE spelling of the name is almost extinct in England today. The UK-Info CD disc lists 2 RIVES and 105 RYVES for the whole of the United Kingdom. Yet many branches exist in the U.S., many claiming lineage from ROBERT RYVES of Blandford, Dorset Circa 1490 -1551. A history of this lineage can be found in the book 'Reliques of the Rives (Ryves)' by James Rives Childs, ISBN 0-7884-0091-6. First published in 1929. If you have Anglo-American interests this book is a must.
