Excerpt: Shen Kuo or Shen Gua (Chinese: ; pinyin: Shn Kuò; Wade-Giles: Shen K'uo) (10311095), style name Cunzhong () and pseudonym Mengqi (now usually given as Mengxi) Weng (), was a polymathic Chinese scientist and statesman of the Song Dynasty (9601279). Excelling in many fields of study and statecraft, he was a mathematician, astronomer, meteorologist, geologist, zoologist, botanist, pharmacologist, agronomist, archaeologist, ethnographer, cartographer, encyclopedist, general, diplomat, hydraulic engineer, inventor, academy chancellor, finance minister, governmental state inspector, poet, and musician. He was the head official for the Bureau of Astronomy in the Song court, as well as an Assistant Minister of Imperial Hospitality. At court his political allegiance was to the Reformist faction known as the New Policies Group, headed by Chancellor Wang Anshi (10211086). In his Dream Pool Essays (; Mengxi Bitan) of 1088, Shen was the first to describe the magnetic needle compass, which would be used for navigation (first described in Europe by Alexander Neckam in 1187). Shen discovered the concept of true north in terms of magnetic declination towards the north pole, with experimentation of suspended magnetic needles and "the improved meridian determined by Shen's measurement of the distance between the polestar and true north".

Excerpt: Miamisburg, Ohio -Originally, the small community had been known as Holes Station since about 1797, when Zachariah Hole settled there with his family from Virginia and built a stockade on the west bank of the Miami River opposite from the mouth of Bear Creek. Along with the stockade brought Squatters, Surveying Parties, and other settlers who had taken grants out for them to live in the local cabins until they could build their own ; hence the little community became known as Holes Station. Meanwhile more settlers poured into the town from all over but mainly from Pennsylvania. The name Miamisburg comes from the words Miamis and burg just combined together. By 1822 the unincorporated community had become a village and achieved city status about 100 years later. By 1827, the Miami and Erie Canal was under construction which passed through the community and made transportation of people and goods very convenient. The formal opening took place in January 1829, when the Governor Brown was the first packet boat to go through the settlement. Also that year the first boats from Cincinnati had arrived and passed through Miamisburg to get to Dayton. By 1834 the canal had been extended to Piqua and many businesses along the river grew. The 1840s and the 1850s were brought the best to the canals. The canal can also be credited for bringing in new Irish citizens during the famine in Ireland. A local resident George Kinder shipped bags of food to Ireland also containing his addresses and many papers stating that he was hiring immigrant workers. Years later there was a surge of Irish immigrants to the area and surrounding cities. But by the early 1900s the Canal was abandoned and later replaced by highways...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=129648 ... Read more
