![]() While Newton's theory is still a great approximation to address gravity in a variety of situations, especially in our daily life, Einstein's novel approach achieved a more complete account of gravity's behaviour, especially in extreme cases.Īt the turn of the twentieth century, the only physical problem that remained unexplained within Newton's gravity was a tiny shift in Mercury's orbit. It is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of their distance. In Newton's framework, gravity is a long-range attractive force, acting between any two massive objects. ![]() Prior to general relativity, the leading theory of gravity was Isaac Newton's law of universal gravitation, which unified the description of moving massive bodies both on Earth and in the Solar System. A revolutionary approach at the time, general relativity remains to date the best physical theory to describe gravity, particularly on cosmic scales.Īlbert Einstein in 1921. ![]() November 2015 marked a notable anniversary in the history of physics: one hundred years before, Albert Einstein presented his general theory of relativity, in the form of four papers, to the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin on 4, 11, 18 and 25 November 1915. ![]()

![]() There was a period in the history of the 90 year-old studio, not so many years ago (and prior to John Lasseter and Ed Catmull's leadership), when Walt Disney Animation Studios had become more structured and hierarchical, and it wasn't always easy to work across departments to innovate. In late March 2014, Frozen became the highest-grossing animated feature, worldwide, of all time. ![]() The Disney studio had created more than 53 feature animated films in over three-quarters of a century-beginning with Snow White and the Seven Dwarves in 1937 through to Frozen, released in November of 2013 and awarded the Oscar® for Best Animated Feature in March 2014, the first Academy Award® in that category for Walt Disney Animation Studios.

The series started in 1968 and lasted all the way to 1996. Many of the classic story lines and characters that are part of comic history today originate from this volume. The series was launched following the success of the Iron Man stories in Tales of Suspense and continues from the one shot Iron Man and Sub-Mariner which picks up the story arc from Tales of Suspense #99. 1 is Iron Man's first ongoing solo series. This is the comic that started it all, written by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber and drawn by Jack Kirby and Don Heck. ![]() A new hero has arrived, Iron Man, but who is he and what is he. ![]() ![]() ![]() As if that was not enough, there was still the long, unending road to town covered in mud and dust, so that every stubbed toe and stumble brought the ancient ancestor to mind. Why curse the ancestor? Because he had chosen to settle in Phansavale village, abandoned in a dip between cliffs and crevices, like something forsaken by God.īetween the village and the bazaar stood two upright hills, their rugged, twisting slopes covered with pebbles and stones that knocked your breath out as you climbed slippery paths that could send you hurtling into nowhere if you lost concentration for a moment and two streams that wound through the forests and valleys, swirling over small and large embankments. On their way to the Ratnagiri bazaar, our village women and kith and kin, carrying neckbreaking headloads of firewood and grass, bamboo bundles and sheaves of grain-stalk, raw and ripe mangoes in season, would stop at the foot of the climb and first attack our ancient ancestor with choicest curses before attacking the climb.

Butera fully expected Glick to ask her to euthanize the little animal. The farm’s owner, Albert Glick, a Mennonite who usually displayed a pragmatic attitude toward his animals, brought the fawn to a local veterinarian, Melanie Butera. ![]() Her mother, probably sensing her disability, refused to nurse her. (Their semen would then be sold to farms that raise deer for hunting compounds.) Does were of little value, except as vessels for the next attempt at antlered majesty. She was born near Canton, Ohio, on a farm that was breeding deer in hopes of producing bucks with staggering horns. ![]() This was certainly the case with a white-tailed deer named Dillie (2004-2022).

Thurber was something of a polymath despite having problems with his sight for much of his life, he produced cartoons, journalism, short stories, plays and was known as a wit. However, I actually encountered something much more varied, quite dark in places and very pithy. I say ‘unexpected’ for a good reason Thurber is an author new to me and I somehow expected to be reading lightweight, witty pieces. Recently reissued in a lovely Penguin Modern Classics edition, it’s the ideal way to get acquainted with this unexpected author. Thurber has a reputation as a humourist and “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” brings together a selection of his pieces from a previous collection called “The Thurber Carnival”. The title story of this collection of short pieces by James Thurber is probably his best-known work, thanks to the popular film adaptation starring Danny Kaye. ![]() ![]() In 2014, Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the female Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose start-up “unicorn” promised to revolutionize the medical industry with a machine that would make blood testing significantly faster and easier.

The child thrives in her new environment, learning to make butter, boil maple syrup, and tend the animals. In her new rural life, Elizabeth Ann comes to be nicknamed "Betsy," and to find that many activities that Frances had always thought too demanding for a little girl are considered, by the Putney family, routine activities for a child: walking to school alone, cooking, and having household duties to perform. The story tells of Elizabeth Ann, a 9-year-old orphan girl who goes from a sheltered existence with her father's aunt Harriet and cousin Frances in the city, to living on a Vermont farm with her mother's family, the Putneys, whose child-rearing practices had always seemed suspect to Harriet and her daughter.

With penetrating logic and charming wit, Lewis explores the four aspects of love: affection, the most basic form friendship, the rarest and perhaps most insightful Eros, passionate love and charity, the greatest and least selfish.
