      This chart should look more like a web, showing the connections between the various areas. It is similar to getting an education, you can not get a complete education in one area, without dabbling in other areas. For example, the connections between theology, and religious history.

      Sometimes before you can understand something you have to quantify it. These early natural philosophers were just organizing what they had learned so they could better understand it. How different is it from us today, trying to map the human genome?

      This is so awesome!  I tried it out already.  I have a Google voice phone number.  My wife called it, left a voice message and then the message was transcribed and send to me via text.  I could also access it online!

We Are Visible - SIGN UP SPEAK OUT BE SEEN - helping you connect to the social world - 0 views

  •  
    This site is a diving board for people who are homeless to begin using social media. It advocates the use of social media to give these people a voice in a community that is more apt to ignore them. People don't often listen to people who "look" homeless, but because with social media they can blog/tweet/status update from their hearts and be judged only on the basis of what they say without being preempted by something else, people listen.

The Crystal Palace/ The Great Exhibition of 1851 - 0 views

  • Over 13,000 exhibits were displayed and viewed by over 6,200,000 visitors to the exhibition.
  • The London Borough of Bromley, who own the park today, together with the Crystal Palace Foundation, have recently submitted an outline proposal the National Heritage Lottery Fund to restore much of the park to its former glory.
  • The Crystal Palace itself was destroyed by fire on  November 30th 1936, following which the area lost much of its focus and began to decline. But many of the most important events in the history of the Crystal Palace took place in the grounds, which retain much of their original overall layout today and are a Grade II listed historic park.

  • The park also contained unrivaled collections of statues, many of which were copies of great works from around the world, and a geological display which included a replica lead mine and the first attempts anywhere in the world to portray life-size restorations of extinct animals, including dinosaurs.
  • This "bigger and better" building was divided into a series of courts depicting the history of art and architecture from ancient Egypt through  the Renaissance, as well as exhibits from industry and the natural world.
  • The Crystal Palace was originally designed by Sir Joseph Paxton in only 10 days and was a huge iron goliath with over a million feet of glass.
  • The Great Exhibition of 1851 in London was conceived to symbolize this industrial, military and economic superiority of Great Britain.
