... a speech that his theory was wrong and that he was sorry that he had mislead the people, but shortly after his speech it was said that he was over heard muttering "nevertheless it moves." Galileo was a very intelligent man and with this great wisdom he did many great things for science. He was right about most of his theories that he proclaimed to the public, but they seemed to think otherwise. On January 8, 1642, Galileo the great scientist died. Even though Galileo was right, the Roman Catholic Church clung to their position but 350 years later Galileo was forgiven for his so called crimes in 1633. [ Wallace, W.A., Galileo's Logical Treatises] ...
... however, was a very strongly Catholic country where the Roman church had a great deal of influence. Louis, although supposed not to be a very fastidious devote of the religion, or any religion, took part in a minor reorganization of the Roman Catholic Church inside France. It is apparent now that Louis basically went along with the reforms dictated by the pope in regards to religion. In economic matters, the two rulers perhaps differed even more greatly. Henry was a fastidious economist, often commenting about the expense of things at the royal court, and taking action to have whatever the latest offense to the treasury happened to be. Louis ...
... After the war Jackie got an honorable discharge. After the end of the war Jackie didn’t know what he wanted to do and he was very short on money. Finally Jackie decided he wanted to join the Negro Leagues. In 1944 Jackie officially was on a Negro baseball team.(Shorto,Russell p. 5-10) In 1945 Branch Rickey the owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers was looking for a black player to break the serration barrier and rise above it all and join the Major League Baseball Association. Rickey said that whoever the person was to be would have to cope with taunts and insult, with name calling and abuse. Rickey heard of the success of Jackie on the Negro League and se ...
... Cassady was one of them. Ginsberg traveled all around the world and stayed in India for a while, where he learned Buddhism, meditation and spiritual chants. He wrote poetry for over three decades, and in doing so, changed the course of American poetry. Ginsberg believed in open, spontaneous poetry, speaking his thoughts and emotions in a raw and "uncensored" way. This rawness seemed to transcend the censoring imposed on his poetry by his digressors who considered his writing un-publishable. His main influences in writing were Kerouac and William Blake. This particular poem, America, was written in Berkley in 1956. Basically, "America" has 3 parts to it: Ginsberg q ...
... piloting the Spread Eagle along the twisting river, he decided to use the name Mark Twain. Mark Twain stopped piloting the riverboat in 1861, at the start of the Civil War, to join the Union. He went to war for two weeks and left immediately after being involved in the shooting of a civilian. He said he knew retreating better than it's inventor did. He soon decided to travel 1,700 miles from the Missouri Territory , to the Nevada Territory. He passed through Overland City, Horseshoe City, and many large and small cities in between. Clemens commented that Salt Lake City was healthy. He said that the city had one doctor who was arrested onc ...
... to the Scotch girls, with more success in the latter than in the former." Remembering the past Laurier would carefully develop the politics of reconciliation rather than conflict. In the year 1854 the young lad went to college, De L'assomption. In his studies he took subjects such as Latin, Latin classics, pre- revolutionary French literature, Greek, English and some philosophy. The education which Laurier got from this school was to prepare him for priesthood but he decided to study law in Montreal at McGill University. At the University Laurier was very hard working and serious to try to accomplish his first major goal which was to become a lawyer. ...
... then to Belgium. In 1941when World War II started and German troops occupying Brussels, Escher returned to Holland and settled in Baarn, where he lived and worked until shortly before his death. His work mostly unnoticed until the 1950's. Among his first admirers were mathematicians, who saw that his work was the visualization of many mathematical principals and ideas. This was remarkable because he had never had any math courses after high school, where he had learned only the basics. As his work developed he read more about mathematics and showed in his art an understanding of projective geometry and non-Euclidian geometry. He was also fascinated with ...
... nations best pitchers and it was just a matter of time before he would be drafted for the majors. He was drafted by the Washington Senators in 1907 for $9. His first year wasn't so good but in his second year he earned the name 'the big train' with an amazing won loss record. Back when Walter pitched they had no Cy Young awards or league MVP awards but if they had, Walter would have won a dozen of each. On a team with a won loss record of around 60 and 94 Walter usually had half of their wins. He would frequently lead the league in wins, E.R.A., and strikeouts, but even the lackluster of the Senetors had some effect on him. In 1916 he had a miniscule E.R.A. of 1. ...
... the rap game there is an ego thing that people would like to call the "Eastcoast/Westcoast War". If you are from cities like Washington DC, New York, Atlanta, Miami, Philadelphia or Baltimore you are considered eastcoast. If you are from Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco, Oakland, Portland, Compton, Watts, Fresno, Long Beach or Sacramento you are considered westcoast. Why people talk bad bout each other because of their preference on where to live will never be defined. Just prejudice acts among people. Tupac was raised in the city of New York before he had rape charges against him. Then after that he was shot 6 times, somehow living. After that happened he ...
... his parents in Milan, and when it became clear that he would have to make his own way in the world, he finished secondary school in Arrau, Switzerland, and entered the Swiss National Polytechnic in Zürich. Einstein did not enjoy the methods of instruction there. He often cut classes and used the time to study physics on his own or to play his beloved violin. He passed his examinations and graduated in 1900 by studying the notes of a classmate. His professors did not think highly of him and would not recommend him for a university position. For two years Einstein worked as a tutor and substitute teacher. In 1902 he secured a position as an examiner in the ...
