Eureka Springs, Arkansas - Victorian History In Eureka Springs Arkansas Eureka's miraculous cures remained a local marvel until 1879 when the doctor's friend and hunting companion Judge J.B. Saunders was cured of a crippling disease by a visit to Basin Spring, and subsequently put his considerable influence behind promoting the Springs to friends and family throughout the state.

Things Inside My Head Eureka's voice is soft, almost hollow.  It's sad.  It's as if everything she says must travel a great distance before it reaches me.  I often feel like she's talking to me from the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Eureka repeats so that we'll leave her alone.  Or maybe she does it because she genuinely wants to give us the answer we're looking for.  She wants it so much that she's learned to lift her head, bob up like a diver coming up for air and repeat whatever we've said. The word eureka, or heureka, is Greek for "I've found it out!" Archimedes, the Greek mathematician, inventor and physicist, exclaimed this word when he discovered how to test the purity of Hiero's crown. www.mrbellersneighborhood.com /stories/1384.html   (1599 words)

Poe: Eureka A word, in fine, was demanded, by means of which one human being might put himself in relation at once with another human being and with a certain tendency of the human intellect. In other words, we have reached the conclusion that, on the hypothesis that matter was originally irradiated from a centre and is now returning to it, the concentralization, in the return, proceeds exactly as we know the force of gravitation to proceed. In other words, exactly as many tendencies to Unity are behind the hesitating atom as before it; for it is a mere sotticism to say that one infinite line is longer or shorter than another infinite line, or that one infinite number is greater or less than another number that is infinite. xroads.virginia.edu /~HYPER/poe/eureka.html   (13070 words)

Scent of fear impacts cognitive performance For each pair, the participants had to press a key to indicate whether the words were associated with each other (for example, arms and legs) or not (arms and wind). When processing meaningfully related word pairs, the participants exposed to the fear chemicals were 85 percent accurate, and those in either the neutral sweat or the control (no-sweat) condition were 80 percent accurate. When processing word pairs that were ambiguous in threat content, such as one neutral word paired with a threatening word or a pair of neutral words, subjects in the fear condition were 15 to 16 percent slower in responding than those in the neutral sweat condition, and this difference was statistically significant. www.eurekalert.org /pub_releases/2006-03/ru-sof033106.php   (513 words)

UNC Charlotte linguist restores lost language, culture for 'The New World' With the vast majority of the language's many-thousand word vocabulary missing along with its syntax and pronunciation, Rudes had to re-build the language wholesale using the sophisticated techniques of historical linguistics. From this, Rudes reconstructs the Virginia Algonquian words "paka•n," "mahkəsən," "a•rehkan" and " wa•pahšəm." Strachey records the Virginia Algonquian word for "the skie" as "arrokoth," but this corresponds most closely to the Proto-Algonquian word "a•lahkwatwi" which means "it is cloudy," and Rudes derives from this the Virginia Algonquian word "a•rahkwat," with a somewhat ambiguous meaning referring to the sky. www.eurekalert.org /pub_releases/2006-01/uonc-ucl011906.php   (1222 words)

The Eureka Stockade - famous uprising Instead, it is coupled with the word “Stockade” and signifies an armed uprising against authority — a bit similar to “Storm the Bastille !” for the French. Five hundred diggers built a stockade (now known as the Eureka Stockade, get it?) or barricade, swore to “fight to defend our rights and liberties,” and hoisted the blue-and-white flag with the stars of the Southern Cross (those stars onlyseen in the southern-hemishere) and dropped the Union Jack flag of Britain. While the incident is filled with tragedy and some farce, the Eureka Stockade and its flag continue to evoke the ideals of revolt against colonialism and unfair authority. www.upfromaustralia.com /eurekastockade.html   (352 words)
