Excerpt: Johan Sebastiaan Ploem (born 25 August 1927, Sawahlunto) is a Dutch microscopist and digital artist, who made significant contribution to the field of fluorescence microscopy. Ploem was born on Sumatra, then part of the Dutch East Indies, where his Dutch father was employed as a coal-mining engineer. At the age of two he returned with his parents to the Netherlands where he remained for the rest of his youth in Heerlen, a town in the south of the Netherlands. He started painting as a small boy and was educated in drawing and painting in Maastricht but after finishing high school opted to study medicine instead of art. During Ploems entire career painting has remained a factor in his life, even during extensive scientific work in medicine, medical research and advanced microscopy. Ploem received his education at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands, Harvard University and the University of Amsterdam. He has since then been employed by a number of academic institutions, including the University of Miami, the University of Amsterdam, and the University of Leiden, where he served as a professor at the Faculty of Medicine. He also cooperated with industry, in particular in the branch of optics a...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=14482403 ... Read more

Excerpt:Saint Alexander Briant Saint Alexander Briant (17 August 1556 1 December 1581) was an English Jesuit and martyr, executed at Tyburn . He was born in Somerset , and entered Hart Hall, Oxford (now Hertford College ), at an early age. While there, he became a pupil of Father Robert Parsons , which, along with his association with Richard Holtby , led to his conversion. After leaving university, he entered the English College at Reims , and was ordained priest on 29 March 1578. Assigned to the English mission in August of the following year he labored with zeal in his own county of Somerset . A party of the persecution, searching for Father Parsons, placed Alexander Briant under arrest on 28 April 1581, in the hope of extorting information. After fruitless attempts to this end at Counter Prison, London, he was taken to the Tower where he was subjected to torture. With six other priests he was arraigned on 16 November 1581, in Queen's Bench, Westminster, on the charge of high treason, and condemned to death. In his letter to the Jesuit Fathers he says that he felt no pain during the various tortures he underwent, and adds: "Whether this that I say be miraculous or no, God knoweth." He was twenty-five years old when he was executed. Alexander Briant was declared venerable on 8 December 1921 by Pope Pius XI and beatified one week later on 15 December. Blessed Alexander Briant was canonized nearly forty-nine years later in 1970 by Pope Paul VI as one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales with a common feast day of 25 October. His feast day is celebra... ... Read more
