He completed his doctorate at the University of Tartu. 2. After 4 years at Moscow Observatory he became Director of the Astronomy Department. From 1921-1944 he was an Associate Professor at Tartu University, and from 1930-34 visiting scientist at Harvard University. 3. Öpik was one of the most outstanding astrophysicists of his generation, with wide- ranging interests in the physical sciences. Among his many pioneering discoveries were:the first computation of the density of a degenerate body, named the white dwarf; the first accurate determination of the distance of an extragalactic object (Andromeda Nebula;the prediction of the existence of a cloud of cometary bodies encircling the Solar System, later known as the "Oort Cloud";the first composite theoretical models of dwarf stars like the Sun which showed how they evolve into giants;a new theory of the origin of the Ice Ages. 4

the valour of Crusading knights should have been endowed in all rather than a meagre few. According to this theory of evolution descendants could one day attain the heights Europeans had already scaled. The Lamarckian evolution had only one crucial defect, it was entirely untrue. One could cut off a rat's tail, but its offspring would have normal tails. The rules of genetics were not known in Lamarck's day, and were not known until long after Darwin's, when the pioneering work of Mendel was rediscovered at the turn of the twentieth century. But animal breeders had long since discovered certain principles of breeding for desired characteristics, and acquired characteristics played no part in this process. Only through proper training could one find out if a hunting dog had favourable qualities. But the training did not create those characteristics in the dog's offspring. Lamarckianism was now discredited, and the question of evolution remained a mystery

The universe twinkles with these cataclysms. They happen every second or so, usually in some unimaginably remote galaxy, blazing as bright as hundreds of billions of stars and creating a fireball that expands and cools for months. We're lucky that they rarely strike close to home. The last supernova in our own galaxy exploded in 1604, rivaling Jupiter's brightness in the night sky and deeply impressing Johannes Kepler, the pioneering astronomer. A nearby supernova--within a few light-years--would bathe the Earth in lethal radiation. Yet the legacy of supernovas is as close as our own bodies. The carbon in our cells, the oxygen in the air, the silicon in rocks and computer chips, the iron in our blood and our machines--just about every atom heavier than hydrogen and helium--was forged inside ancient stars and strewn across the universe when they exploded billions of years ago. Eager to understand our origins

typically have a large number of writing assignments to grade. This limits the number of writing assignments that teachers can offer to students. In an effort to offer additional writing practice to students, researchers have sought to develop applications not only for automated essay scoring, but that also offer more descriptive essay feedback similar to teacher feedback of student writing: indications of grammar, usage, and mechanics errors, stylistic, and organization and development issues. Pioneering work in automated feedback of this kind was initiated in the 1980's with the Writer's Workbench (MacDonald, Frase, S., & Keenan, 1982), and continues in applications, including the online essay evaluation service combines e-rater automated essay scoring, advisories indicating anomalies, such as off-topicness ), and descriptive feedback. The descriptive feedback is comprised of a suite of programs that evaluate and, subsequently,

We can no longer think that the placenta can protect the prenate from anything bad going on in the mother's body, or that the mother's body can protect the prenate from bad things going on in her world. · Parents, too, can be a source of contamination and injury to the unborn baby as a consequence of their personal habits and lifestyle choices. · To a pioneering minority holding the ideal of conscious conception, parenting has always been seen as a spiritual process in which they wanted to participate fully and consciously. A handbook for many in this group has been the book by Jeannine and Frederick Baker, Conscious Conception: Elemental Journey Through the Labyrinth of Sexuality (Monroe, UT, Freestone Publishing or Berkeley, CA: North Atlantic Books, 1986).

the renewables would be built more quickly. Even then, the full potential of these sources would not have been tapped - much more could be harnessed in the future. But we have to start now if we're going to end our dependence on fossil fuels and reduce emissions. Ambitious support for renewables will bring benefits - not just of clean, fuel-free energy, but the jobs and economic growth that come from pioneering new industries and technology.

SETTLEMENT The land within the borders of the current Portuguese Republic has been continuously settled since prehistoric times. In the 8th century most of the Iberian Peninsula was conquered by Moorish invaders professing Islam, who were later expelled by the Knights Templar. During the Christian Reconquista, Portugal established itself as an independent kingdom from León in 1139, claiming to be the oldest European nation-state. In the 15th and 16th centuries, as the result of pioneering the Age of Discovery, Portugal expanded western influence and established the first global empire, becoming one of the world's major economic, political and military powers. In addition, the Portuguese Empire was the longest-lived of the modern European colonial empires, spanning almost 600 years, from the capture of Ceuta in 1415 to the handover of Macau in 1999 and grant of sovereignty to East Timor in 2002. The empire
nomenklatura, citing the desire to get a bite of the public property rather than the nation’s desire for freedom as the leading motive. Those who idealise the empire mostly discard any actual analysis of the national issue, instead eulogising the unprecedented burgeoning of nations under the Soviet regime and socialism as such. These memoirs demonstrate that the liberation movements of the Baltic peoples played a very important, in some aspect even pioneering role in the annihilation of the Soviet Union, whereas the principal underlying reason was Russia’s own pursuit of sovereignty. Some derzhavniks’ writings on the Baltic issue are over- flowing with blatant fabrications and propaganda lies. However, a shift has occurred in the attitudes of the democratic wing of the Russian elite towards the Baltic states. The former allies in the anti-communist struggle are now seen as “ungrateful nationalists” discriminating against Russians
pioneer story, that bore some similarities with Christian genre of hagiography. In Khrushov and Brezhnev times, however, the pressure lightened. Mid- and late Soviet children's books by Eduard Uspensky, Yuri Entin, Viktor Dragunsky bear no signs of propaganda. In the 1970s many of these books, as well as stories by foreign children's writers, were adapted into animation. Soviet Science fiction, inspired by scientistic revolution, industrialisation, and the country's space pioneering, was flourishing, albeit in the limits allowed by censors. Early science fiction authors, such as Alexander Belyayev, Grigory Adamov, Vladimir Obruchev, Aleksey Nikolayevich Tolstoy, stuck to hard science fiction and regarded H. G. Wells and Jules Verne as examples to follow. Two notable exclusions from this trend were Yevgeny Zamyatin, author of dystopian novel We, and Mikhail Bulgakov, who, while using science fiction
Advances in design theory, graphic statics, and a knowledge of the strength of materials by engineers such as Karl Culmann and Squire Whipple were achieved in the second half of the 19th century, but the factor that most influenced the scientific design of bridges was the railroads. Engineers had to know the precise amount of stresses in bridge members to accommodate the thundering impact of locomotives. Founded on the pioneering work of the American Squire Whipple and other European engineers as Collignon, the last quarter of the 19th century witnessed broad application of both analytical and graphical analysis, testing of full-size members, comprehensive stress tables, standardized structural sections, metallurgical analysis, precision manufacturing and fabrication in bridge shops, publication of industry-wide standards, plans, and specifications,
bridge project was new for them too. Using model on site was a new experience also for all of the other parties to the 100 project (sub-contractors, surveyors, suppliers, etc.) as well. As will be seen, the results vindicated Skanska's decision, and they regard the experience gained as highly valuable. Due to the pioneering nature of the use of BIM on a highly sophisticated bridge, the main BIM software provider to the project, Tekla Corporation, was also involved. Providing intensive support to the project team, Tekla too learned a great deal. Throughout the design and construction process they helped the team members learn and then apply new futures of the Tekla Structures modelling software: sharing the model over the web (synchronization); 4D planning; synchronization

He promptly undertook the task. Ewing was then 59, a short, thickset Scot with blue eyes beneath shaggy eyebrows, a quiet voice, and the manner of a benign physician. He had been knighted three years before for his contributions to science, which included pioneering studies of Japanese earthquakes, of magnetism, and of mechanical lagging effects in stressed materials (now known by a word he coined, "hysteresis"), and for his public services, notably his naval education directorship. He was to become president of the British Association for the Advancement of Science and perhaps his country's greatest living expert on mechanical science. And now he was about to found a cryptanalytic bureau that was to become almost

What made him think it would work? The answer may lie in the dual scholarly roles he played during his career. Not only was he a respected independent researcher, he was also one of the earliest translators into English of the pioneering psychological literature of Rus- sia. It was a literature dedicated to the study of the association principle and dom- inated by the thinking of a brilliant man, Ivan Pavlov. Although a scientist of broad and varied talent-he had, for instance, won a Nobel Prize years earlier for his work on the digestive system-Pavlov's most im- portant experimental demonstration was simplicity itself. He showed that he could
