Michael Faraday (1791 to 1867)

In his youth, Faraday had performed a suite of experiments showing the linkage between electricity and magnetism, inventing, along the way, the electric motor and the dynamo. But by the time he was 53, he had fallen into a deep depression.

Maybe it was a barrage of flirtatious correspondence from Lady Ada Lovelace, the daughter of Byron, that snapped him out of his funk: whatever the cause, he decided to push the unification a step further, and show that electricity and magnetism are related to light.

Using an Argand oil lamp, Faraday projected polarised light through a block of glass, alongside of which sat a powerful electromagnet. Holding a polarising filter, called a Nicol prism, to his eye, he rotated it until the light was extinguished. Then he switched on the current.

The image of the flame suddenly reappeared. He turned the magnet off and the flame disappeared. The magnetic field, he realised, was twisting the light beam - and if the polarity of the field was reversed, the light beam rotated the other way. Faraday had unified two more forces, demonstrating that light was actually a form of electromagnetism.

The Battle of Chickamauga, fought September 18 to September 20, 1863, marked the end of a Union offensive in south-central Tennessee and northwestern Georgia called the Chickamauga Campaign. The battle was the most significant Union defeat in the Western Theater of the American Civil War. The battle was fought between the Union Army of the Cumberland under Maj. Gen. William Rosecrans and the Confederate Army of Tennessee under General Braxton Bragg, and was named for the (now South) Chickamauga Creek, which flows into the Tennessee River about 3.5 miles (5.6km) northeast of downtown Chattanooga. Chickamauga was a local Indian word meaning "Stagnant River" or, less accurately, "River of Death," a usage that may have begun after the battle.[1

Tullahoma Campaign in the summer of 1863, Rosecrans moved southeast from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, driving Bragg across the state of Tennessee to the city of Chattanooga, suffering only 560 casualties along the way. Chattanooga was a vital city for U

Running your car on vegetable oil

Miles Brignall | London, United Kingdom

19 March 2008 10:00

In an effort to get around the big rise in oil prices, thousands of motorists have taken to running their cars on supermarket-bought vegetable oil and it's all perfectly legal.

Two weeks ago here in the United Kingdom, the average price of a litre of diesel went though the £1 barrier again, prompting many drivers of older diesel cars to consider using shop-bought vegetable oil instead.

Plenty of owners of cars with older diesel engines can run their car on vegetable oil -- either mixed in with ordinary diesel or, following some modifications, entirely on such oils. Users point out that Rudolf Diesel originally designed his engines to run on peanut oil. The only downside is the smell that comes out of the exhaust, which has been likened to a barbecue.

The use of this "alternative" fuel was given a big boost in Britain recently when the UK Treasury relaxed the rules on the taxation of home-m

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Delium

Is this really history's first documented incident of fratricide ? (Geoffrey Regan, Back

Fire, Robson Books Ltd., London, 1995).

The Battle of Delium or of Delion took place in 424 BC between the Athenians and the

Boeotians, and ended with the siege of Delium (also known as Delion) in the following

weeks.

Prelude

In 424 BC the Athenian generals Demosthenes and Hippocrates planned to invade Boeotia.

Demosthenes mistakenly sailed too early and landed at Siphae, where his plans were

betrayed by a Phocian named Nicomachus. As Hippocrates had not yet arrived, Demosthenes

could not attack and was forced to withdraw.

Hippocrates eventually did arrive in Boeotia with an Athenian army and began to fortify

the temple at Delium. After five days, the fortifications were complete, and Hippocrates

set up a garrison and sent the rest of his army back to Athens. At the same time, the

Boeotians gathered their army to challenge Hippocrates, but when they saw that the

Athenians were leaving many of them thought it was pointless to attack. Pagondas of

Thebes, the commander of the Boeotian forces, urged them to attack anyway, because he

knew the Athenians would eventually return and use Delium as a base for further

invasions.

Battle

Pagondas moved his army into position near the Athenians, although both armies were

hidden from each other by a hill. The Boeotians had 7,000 hoplites, 1,000 cavalry, 500

peltasts, and 10,000 light troops, forming a line 25 men deep. The right wing was formed

by troops from Thebes, the centre by men from Haliartia, Coronaea, and Copaea, and the

left wing by troops from Thespiae, Tanagra, and Orchomenia. They were later joined by

the Locrians. When Hippocrates learned of the Boeotian army, he joined the main Athenian

force, leaving 300 cavalry behind at Delium. The Athenians had about the same numbers of

hoplites and cavalry, but had fewer lightly armed troops, mostly from their allied

cities. One of the Athenian soldiers in the battle was Alcibiades, who rescued the

philosopher Socrates during the retreat.

The Boeotians charged unexpectedly while Hippocrates was giving a speech to his men. The

centre lines saw the heaviest fighting. As Thucydides reports, the Boeotian left wing

was surrounded and close to defeat, and only the Thespian contingent stood its ground.

The victorious Athenian line got into confusion as it circled round the Thespian

contingent and surrounded it. Some of the Athenian hoplites fought and killed one

another when they met at the other end, mistaking their countrymen for the enemy. This

was history's first documented incident of fratricide (Geoffrey Regan, Back Fire, Robson

Books Ltd., London, 1995). It is thought the incident occurred in part because no

"state" shield devices were in use, a practice which seems to have become general by the

time of the Second Battle of Mantinea, fought in 362 BC between the Thebans and the

Spartans (and each side's allies) [1]. In any case, Pagondas sent his cavalry to support

the Boeotian left wing and the Athenians were defeated in turn. Meanwhile, the Boeotian

right wing was also victorious, and the Athenians fighting there fled; when the Athenian

centre saw that their two wings had been defeated they also fled. About 500 Boeotians

and 1,000 Athenians had been killed, including Hippocrates.

Excuse me while I blame.......................

The black community must not confuse with racism the young white man’s anger. He cannot understand why he has to be at the back of the queue when he seeks employment. Let’s say that he is too young even to remember apartheid. Shall we now punish him for benefiting from a system that was not of his choosing? Is it his fault that he just happened to have been born into it? Whether he would have grown up to be a perpetrator of the evils of the previous system or not is immaterial. What matters is that the system ended before he could be a conscious and active participant in it. What do we do now?
