MARC (archive) - MARC (archive) MARC (Mailing list ARChive) is a computer-related mailing list archive. It archives over 11 million emails from over 1350 mailing lists, with approximately 300,000 new mails added per month. The archive is hosted by the company 10East, formerly called the AIMS Group, and is maintained by a group of volunteers led by Hank Leininger. MARC was founded in 1996 to serve as a unified archive of electronic mailing lists, similar to what DejaNews (now Google Groups) did for Usenet. MARC uses MySQL as the relational database backend and Perl to access the data. The archive can be searched for mailing list names, authors, subject lines and full-text of the e-mail messages. See also: Geocrawler.

History of the Internet - ideas in a paper called a "Request for Comments" (RFC for short), and let everyone else read it. People commented on and improved those ideas in new RFCs. (With its basis as an educational research project, much of the documentation was written by students or others who played significant roles in developing the network but did not have official responsibility for defining standards. This is the reason for the very low-key name of "Request for Comments" rather than something like "Declaration of Official Standard".) The first RFC (RFC1) was written on April 7th, 1969. There are now well over 2000 RFCs, describing every aspect of how the internet functions. The Internet standards process has been as innovative as the Internet itself. Prior to the Internet, standardization was a slow process run.
Internet Archive - Internet Archive The Internet Archive, founded by Brewster Kahle in 1996, is dedicated to maintaining an archive of the Internet. Their collections include snapshots of the World Wide Web and Usenet. The Archive also maintains the Wayback Machine powered by Alexa Internet. Once given a URL, this tool allows the user to see versions of the corresponding web page over time. Examples of the Wayback Machine's archives: Amazon, Microsoft and the BBC. The Archive's total collection, as of 2003, is around 100 terabytes of data..
Giuseppe Marc'Antonio Baretti - Giuseppe Marc'Antonio Baretti Giuseppe Marc'Antonio Baretti (1719?1789), Italian critic, was born at Turin in 1719. He was intended by his father for the profession of law, but at the age of sixteen fled from Turin and went to Guastalla, where he was for some time employed in a mercantile house. His leisure hours he devoted to literature and criticism, in which he became an expert. For many years he led a wandering life, supporting himself chiefly by his writings.

Franz Marc - Franz Marc Franz Marc (February 8, 1880 - March 4, 1916) was a German expressionist painter. Marc was born in Munich and studied at the Munich Art Academy. In 1911 he formed the Blaue Reiter artist circle with Wassily Kandinsky. His work is characterized by bright primary color, an almost cubist portrayal of animals, stark simplicity and a profound sense of emotion. This got him noticed in influential circles even in his own time. His name was on a list of notable artists to be withdrawn from combat in World War I. Marc was killed in action in 1916 before these orders were carried out. In October, 1998, several of Marc's paintings garnered record prices at Christie's art auction house in London..

His translation of Al-Makrizi's Arabic history of the Mameluke sultans (2 vols., 1837-41) shows his erudition at the best. He published among.

Kurt Gödel - Nazi Germany. Since Germany had abolished the title of Privatdozent Gödel would now have to fear conscription into the Nazi army. In January 1940 he and his wife left Europe via the trans-Siberian railway and traveled via Russia and Japan to the USA. When they arrived in San Francisco on March 4, 1940, Kurt and Adele settled in Princeton, where he resumed his membership in the IAS. At the Institute, Gödel's interests turned to philosophy and physics. He studied the works of Gottfried Leibniz in detail and, to a lesser extent, those of Kant and Edmund Husserl. In the late 1940s he demonstrated the existence of paradoxical solutions to Albert Einstein's field equations in general relativity. These "rotating universes" would allow time travel and caused Einstein to have doubts about his.

Johann Sebastian Bach - of the St. Thomas school in singing but also to provide weekly music at the two main churches in Leipzig. Rising above and beyond the call of duty, Bach endeavored to compose a new church piece, or cantata, every week. This challenging schedule, which basically amounted to writing an hour's worth of music every week, in addition to his more menial duties at the school, produced some genuinely sublime music, most of which has been preserved. Most of the cantatas from this period expound upon the Sunday readings from the Bible for the week in which they were originally performed; some were written using traditional church hymns, such as Wachet auf! Ruft uns die Stimme and Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland, as inspiration for the music. On holy days such as.

Journey Into Space - Luna, was therefore produced by the BBC Transcription Service. This used the cast from The World in Peril with the exception of Don Sharp who was replaced by David Williams. This was broadcast weekly from March 26, 1958. The series has been translated into 17 languages, broadcast world-wide, and in the UK it was the last radio series to attract a higher audience than that watching television. Chilton went on to write three best-selling novels based upon the radio shows. At the time the Express Weekly newspaper also ran a comic strip with suggestions submitted by Chilton. All four series were unfortunately destroyed in a purge of the BBC archive. However, a pile of misfiled transcription discs where found in 1986 by Ted Kendall, a BBC recording engineer, which turned out.
John F. Kennedy assassination - Service security at the time of the assassination. Procedures in place and events of the day presented large holes into which Lee Harvey Oswald, or any potential assassin, could slip. These included: Not telling Dallas police, specifically, who 'authorized personnel' were, to stand on bridges or overpasses Not having in place the policy of searching buildings on the path of a motorcade, when said motorcade is announced 'only a few days in advance' Not properly/thoroughly checking the backgrounds of those in potential close contact with the President - that program was new and undermanned in 1963 Assuming that security measures taken in a 1936 Roosevelt visit to Dallas could be used to model Kennedy's visit Generally insufficient personnel to accomplish the task at hand of planning and executing the motorcade Incomplete.
Ira Gershwin - of which he was co-editor with lyricist E. Y. "Yip" Harburg. The scrapbooks continue until early 1986, 2-1/2 years after Ira's death, and cover projects that Ira had worked on. Seven books are devoted solely to Porgy and Bess; another book, to Ira's memoirs, Lyrics on Several Occasions; and two others, to fellow composers and lyricists, performers and the music industry in general. There is also a scrapbook of obituaries and editorials assembled after George's death by his mother, Rose Gershwin, and two scrapbooks compiled by the adolescent George and Ira: George's deals chiefly with music and Ira's, with topics of general interest. The legal and financial papers comprise contracts, business correspondence, royalty statements and bank statements, including a large cache of papers received in 1997 from the estate of Emanuel.
H. P. Lovecraft - in studying in detail Lovecraft's writings and philosophy, Joshi's A Subtler Magick: The Writings and Philosophy of H. P. Lovecraft is indispensable both for the analysis it provides and for the thorough bibliography appended to it. Charles P. Mitchell's The Complete H. P. Lovecraft Filmography is useful for its discussion of films containing Lovecraftian elements (see "Adaptations", below). Lovecraft's prose fiction has been published numerous times, but, even after the "corrected texts" were released by Arkham House in the 1980s, many non-definitive collections of his stories have appeared, including Ballantine Books editions and, also, three popular Del Rey editions, which nonetheless have interesting introductions. Preferable are the two collections published by Penguin, The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories and The Thing on the Doorstep and Other Weird Stories, both.
HMS Ark Royal (91) - in early February, during a British Naval raid deep into Italian-controlled waters. On several occasions, she ferried planes to the beleaguered base at Malta and covered Malta-bound convoys. While returning to Gibraltar from one such mission, Ark Royal was torpedoed on 13 November 1941 by the German submarine U-81. After a difficult struggle against progressive flooding, the carrier capsized and sank on 14 November 1941.¹ Her exact location remained unknown until mid-December 2002 when the BBC announced that a film crew had located the wreck in 3,500 feet of water some 30 miles off Gibraltar.

Lamar signed the act into law on January 28, 1840. This move could not had come sooner; Some creditors had already cut off some Houston businessmen, and there were yellow fever outbreaks that claimed 10 percent of the population.
