Mendel, Gregor Johann (1822-84)
Mendel was an Austrian biologist, who, through his remarkable researches on hybridity in plants, established that there does exist, in living things, dominant and recessive characters (Mendelian Law). "His principle of factorial inheritance and the quantitative investigation of single characters have been the basis of modern genetics." (Chambers.) From this theory of heredity came the theory of organic evolution, which in turn led to an understanding of "the language of the bees, the homing of birds and the behaviour of apes, - leading towards a comprehensive picture of the evolution, the individual development and the working of mind."

Riemann, Georg Friedrich Bernhard
This is the guy who provided a framework for Einstein to formulate his conjecture about the properties of space-time. Any time that someone refers to the "4th" or "5th" dimension, or higher-numbered dimensions, they are using the concept of a "Riemannian Space"... so his ideas are in the popular imagination as well as the dusty physics books.
Sturgeon,William
b. May 22, 1783, Whittington, Lancashire, England
d. December 4, 1850, Prestwich, Lancashire, England
William Sturgeon was an English electrical engineer. In 1825 he built the first practical electromagnet, in 1832 invented the commutator for electric motors and in 1836 made the first moving-coil galvanometer and carried out research into atmospheric charge. His Annals of Electricity (1836) was the first journal of its kind in Britain. His electromagnet was capable of supporting more than its own weight. This device led to the invention of the telegraph, the electric motor, and numerous other devices basic to modern technology.

TESLA, Nikola
Nikola Tesla (July 9/July 10, 1856 - January 7, 1943) was a physicist, inventor, and electrical engineer of unusual intellectual brilliance and practical achievement. He was of Serb descent and worked mostly in the United States.
Tesla is most famous for conceiving the rotating magnetic field principle (1882) and then using it to invent the induction motor together with the accompanying alternating current long-distance electrical transmission system (1888). His patents and theoretical work still form the basis for modern alternating current electric power systems.
He also developed numerous other electrical and mechanical devices including the fundamental principles and machinery of wireless technology, including the high frequency alternator, the "AND" logic gate and the Tesla coil, as well as other devices such as the bladeless turbine, the spark plug and numerous other inventions.

Note: We love this when it is near the end of the apple season and the apples get a little pecked and wormy... just core em; cut off the bad places, and you are ready to go... they don't have to be peeled like the recipe says...
You can buy the tortillas in boxes already made! Sliced Pecans work better than crushed walnuts, and any apples will work, if you don't mind them getting a little soft. the bigger the better! :)
Ingredients
(12 servings)
2/3 lb Flour tortilla dough
Flour
3 Granny Smith apples,
Peeled and sliced
2 tb Lemon juice
1/2 c Brown sugar
1/2 ts Cloves
1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
1/2 c Walnuts, chopped
2 tb Cornstarch dissolved
3 tb Water
Water
Instructions
Use your favorite recipe for flour tortillas, or make dough from the recipe on the Tortilla mix package. Divide the dough into 4, 2-inch balls. Roll each into a 6-inch tortilla. Dust with flour, cover with plastic wrap and set aside. In a saucepan, place apples with enough water to cover. Add lemon juice. Cook over high heat until boiling 5 minutes. Add sugar, cloves, cinnamon, and walnuts; continue cooking over low heat until slightly thickened. Combine cornstarch and water and add to mixture, stirring until thick. Remove from heat. Lay out tortillas; dust off excess flour. Spoon on 2 tablespoons of the apple mixture down the middle of each tortilla. Fold one side of the tortilla over the mixture; then fold the remaining side over. Fold in the ends and seal by moisting the tortillas with a little water. Bake in a preheated, 400 degree F oven until lightly browned. Remove and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Serve with whipped cream

Batten, Jean Gardner 1909 - 1982
Hine-o-te-Rangi: Daughter of the skies
Aviator
One of the great international aviators of the 1930s, Jean Gardner Batten was born on 15 September 1909 in Rotorua,
Jean Batten was the finest woman pilot of the golden age of aviation. She brought great honour to New Zealand and a perfection to her flying that kept her alive through many frightening crises in the air. Utterly fearless, she sometimes took huge risks and flew in dangerous weather conditions, but she was an exceptionally accomplished navigator. Her superior skills made her a more professional pilot than her better-known colleagues, Johnson and Earhart. Behind her beauty lay qualities of ruthlessness and determination that were unique among her women pilot contemporaries.
In 1934 she smashed Amy Johnson’s time between England and Australia by six days. The following year she was the first woman to make the return flight. In 1936 she made the first ever direct flight between England and New Zealand and then the fastest ever trans-Tasman flight.

Not that he is a military leader that I admire... he was too often desperate to show his true leadership. He was often making a choice between the means used and the ends desired. But his spirituality and charisthma rival any of the great Christian military leaders from Constantine to Omar Bradley.
And what if the Ghost Shirts really worked? Fascinating to think about miracles from the point of view of other cultures. If Jahweh can halt the sun's movement; the Great Spirit can do some bulletproofing.
So many believed! And not just on one side. And they were betting a violent death against seemingly insurmountable odds, not just sending in a check to a faith healer.
I believe in the Ghost Shirts just as strongly as I believe in angels.

Kepler, Johannes
His three laws of orbital motion were the voice of reason in the silly religious debate over the position of the Earth relative to the Sun. A religion that supposedly worships the Son, but fought against anything that removed the Sun from the center of the universe.
Kepler, Johannes (http://www.phy.hr/~dpaar/fizicari/xkepler.html)
"Always guided by the concept of beauty in the structure of the universe, and specifically by a theory of harmony in geometric figures, numbers, and music, Kepler, in his Harmonices mundi (Harmonies of the World, 1619), announced his third law--a relationship between the orbital periods and the distances of the planets from the Sun. His belief that the Sun regulates the velocity of the planets was a milestone in scientific thought, laying the foundation for Newton's theory of universal gravitation."

Ginger Baker (a guy.. fantastic drummer for Cream)
Freddie Mercury
Lead singer and spark of the band, Queen.
I didn't even know Freddie was gay, until I heard he died,
probably from aids.
I didn't even know the significance of the name "Queen"
until it was explained to me.
What a shame that so many people have died from that disease.
But at least more people are aware of the problems gay people face.
My personal beliefs about that are...
there isn't enough love in this world to begin with;
I don't see the point in ruining some of it.
I personally do not care who anybody is sleeping with;
except if it's with me. :)
Harry James
Harry James and His Music Makers debuted in February 1939 at the Benjamin Franklin Hotel in Philadelphia.
The orchestra did well in New York, but its high-swinging sound wasn't well-received outside the city.
James, however, wasn't content with his financial picture and decided to adopt a new sound. He announced he was adding a string section. Horrified reactions from the jazz crowd convinced him to abandon the idea. However, in 1941 when he signed with Columbia the label's A&R director made the same suggestion. James followed through and recorded several schmaltzy ballads and semi-classical selections, including the now famous ''You Made Me Love You.'' Though jazz fans cringed the new sound proved popular with the public, and the band was on its way to stardom.
Irving Berlin
Irving Berlin (May 11, 1888 – September 22, 1989), born Israel Isidore Baline, in Tyumen, Siberia (or Mahilyow (Mogilev), Belarus), was an American composer and lyricist, one of the most prodigious and famous American songwriters in history. Berlin got his start as a lyricist for other composers, and although he never learned how to play a piano or read music beyond a rudimentary level, he wrote over 3,000 songs. About half of which became popular on Broadway and in Hollywood, leaving an indelible mark on American music and culture with hits such as "God Bless America", and "White Christmas." Berlin produced 17 film scores and 21 Broadway scores in addition to his individual songs.
