PREVOST, Marilyn Elaine (nee Greer)
July 6, 1937 - December 2, 2019
Marilyn died peacefully on her terms at home in Ottawa, the same city where she was born. She grew up in North Gower, now part of the City of Ottawa, with early memories that included World War II rationing.
Survived by her loving husband Maurice ("Maury") Prevost, who she married in 1975, daughter Elizabeth Broadfoot (Cameron MacLennan), son Andrew Prevost, sister Sheila Armstrong (Ken), sisters-in-law Annie Prevost (Bob Lemon), Linda Greer, and June Hampton (Murray), brother-in law George Prevost, nieces Kim Greer, Heather Phillips (Terry), Fiona Slattery (Tom), and Holly Hunt, nephews Mike Greer (Irene), John Armstrong (Kelly), and Craig Hampton, and numerous first cousins. Predeceased by her parents Howard Greer and Lou Greer (nee Beaman), her brother Carman Greer, and several first cousins.
With no grandchildren of her own, Marilyn enjoyed the children and grandchildren of family and friends.
Marilyn was a 1955 graduate of South Carleton High School in Richmond and a 1959 Bachelor's degree graduate of the Macdonald Institute, a predecessor college of the University of Guelph. Her Mac'59 classmates were always very special to Marilyn, who was able to participate in two events in 2019 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of their graduation.
Following her university graduation in 1959, Marilyn started a career in teaching Home Economics at the high school level in Ontario, originally in Prescott, with one year in Niagara Falls, but mostly in the old Ottawa Board of Education. Although her teaching career ended in 1987, she was active in the Ottawa Home Economics Association again in the 2004 to 2017 time frame.
As a result of Maury's first career with BNR and Nortel, he and Marilyn lived in Durham, North Carolina 1987-2000 and the Paris, France region 2000-2003, where they shared many wonderful travel and cultural experiences. They returned to Ottawa in the fall of 2003 and soon became members of the First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa.
Wherever she lived, Marilyn's grace, warmth, and caring nature won her many friends. She always made good use of her strong home management skills and was active as a volunteer. Her good grace continued as health issues, some longstanding, got more serious in recent years. Marilyn was a cancer survivor going back to 1979. She was very grateful, as was her family, for the good care she received from the health care system and others through the years and during her final illness.
A celebration of Marilyn's life will take place on Saturday, January 11, 2020 at the First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa, 30 Cleary Ave, with visitation at 1:00 p.m., the service at 2:00 p.m., and a reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to the Multifaith Housing Initiative or a charity of your choice.

Elisabeth Leonore Renger (Van Barneveld)
After an unexpected and very rapid decline in health while travelling, Elisabeth passed away peacefully in Munich, Germany on Wednesday May 15, in her 75th year. Her last breaths were taken in the company of both her daughters, with her favourite music playing in the background.
Predeceased by her parents Gerardus Bernardus Bartholomeus Renger and Dina Sara Petronella van den Berg as well as her siblings Gerrit Renger (Tootje) and Mien Hardenberg (Peter).
She will be sadly missed by her daughters Teresa (Patrick) and Anita (Rich), grandchildren Kaitlyn, Tyler and Kieran, her former spouse Gys, her siblings Wim (Ineke), Nelly (Wim), Gerard (Pineke) and Nico, her nieces and nephews, as well as her many friends from all around the world.
Elisabeth was born in Rijssen, Netherlands in 1943 and immigrated to Canada in 1968. She married Gys Van Barneveld in 1970 and they raised their children together for the next 22 years. She was a cherished mother and Oma, as well as an inspirational and devoted teacher, with a career spanning over 50 years in both the Netherlands and Canada. She received her teacher's certificate at the University of Utrecht, attained 2 Bachelor of Arts degrees at McMaster and then her Masters degree in Anthropology at Carleton. She spent 15 years teaching at St. Michael's Elementary school in Dunnville before moving with her family to Ottawa, where she taught at Fielding Drive for 10 years and then at Carleton Heights. She finished her career with the Canadian government as a Dutch, English and French teacher and tester.
Elisabeth had a passion and a talent for languages (she spoke seven) as well as music and poetry. She was especially motivated to see the world and was an avid traveller. Her most recent trips were to China, Morocco and India - all of these while she was in her seventies! She was truly talented at storytelling, as both her grandchildren and former student can attest to. Countless classrooms and campfires have been enriched by her guitar playing and singing, and her adventurous spirit had touched people around the globe.
She will be fondly remembered and very much missed by her family and friends. May the sight and thought of dolphins and butterflies continue to remind us of her smile and her determination.

DAVIS, Lorna Grace
(née Tomalty)
Lorna finally succumbed, after a lengthy illness, on Saturday, May 4, 2019, at the age of 93. Loving wife of the late Basil. Devoted mother of Pamela Hassenklover (Wolf), and Murray (Holly). Cherished grandmother of Marianne, Stephen, Michael, David, Elizabeth, and James, and great-grandmother of Jacob and Tyler. Born in Brownsburg, Quebec, where her father worked for CIL, making ammunition for World War II. He died during an explosion in the factory, and her mother took on boarders to make ends meet. Mom, being the youngest in the family, studied hard, graduated from High School, and moved to Montreal, to become a registered nurse at the Montreal General Hospital. She married Basil Davis, a graduate of McGill University, and began a life with him. Together they had two children whom they raised in Montreal, and Rosemere. Mom became a widow after seventeen years of marriage, and from then on was a single mother of two teenagers. She got her degree, and ambitiously rose through the ranks of public health nursing, to become an administrator and a teacher of nursing at McGill University. Upon retiring, Mom moved to Ottawa, to be closer to her daughter and family. Over the years, she babysat and helped out on many an occasion, and she was a devoted mother and grandmother. Mom loved her friends, and was an active volunteer. Mom hasn't been herself these last few years, as her health continued to deteriorate. Mom moved into Unitarian House, and more recently Forest Hill, where she received excellent care. Thank you to everybody who looked after Mom the last few years. She was a truly great lady, and will be badly missed. A private burial will be held by Lorna's family, at a later date. Memorial donations to The Royal Foundation are appreciated.

Marjorie Daechsel
In her rich and varied life, Marj touched many people with her good humour, unshakable optimism, resolve in the face of adversity and calm in the face of crisis. Family and friends will be honouring Marj with a Celebration of Life, at the Frist Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa, 30 Cleary Avenue, on Sunday May 19th, starting at 2:00. The day before, Marj will be laid to rest in her family's plot, at White lake Ontario with a private ceremony. If you wish to make a donation in memory of Marj, please consider the Multifaith Housing Initiative of Ottawa https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/multifaith-housing-initiative/or the Unitarian House fund for homeless seniors.
Her warm and welcoming smile touched everyone who knew Marjorie Jean Daechsel (née Loucks). The memory of that smile will endure following Marj's peaceful passing, in her 94th year, on April 12, 2019 at the Ottawa Hospital, Civic Campus with her family by her side. The family is very grateful for the compassion shown by the staff of the Civic's Intensive Care Unit and the personal support from close family friends Dr. Larry and Dr. Tammy.
Marj was born in Windsor Ontario, on July 25, 1925, to Catherine (née Barber) and Rufus Loucks. Throughout her life, Marj was very close to her sister Norma and Norma's sons Ken and Wayne (Nancy) as well as her "adopted" daughter Sharon (Ron). While Marj spent virtually all of her adult life outside of Windsor, she always referred to visiting "Sister", who remained in their native city, as "going home".
While Marj's childhood was full of love, it was also challenged by the untimely deaths of her father, when she was 7, and of her mother, when she was 16. Thanks to the encouragement and support of their family doctor and her own determination, Marj was able to fulfil her dream of becoming a nurse. After graduating from the nursing program at the Grace Hospital in Windsor, in 1945, Marj went on to pursue her career in Windsor, Montreal, Smiths Falls, Pontiac Michigan, Kingston, Trenton, Englewood New Jersey and finally Ottawa. Other than a stint in the Blood Clinic in Kinston, Marj spent her nursing career first in the operating room and then the delivery room.
It was in Smiths Falls that Marj caught the eye of a young man, Werner Daechsel, who she thought was in the operating room to change a light. In fact he was a student working at the hospital to make ends meet between degrees. The two dated as Werner returned to his studies, completing a degree in Hospital Administration at the University of Toronto. In 1951, they were married in Rockport, New York by Werner's father, a Lutheran minister.
Their marriage was a loving and devoted partnership that lasted 68 years, to Marj's last breath. They first settled in Kingston where their three children Hugh, Kip and Ann were born, each roughly a year apart of the other. They then moved to Belleville, where Werner served as the Hospital Administrator for the local hospital. In Belleville Marj led a Sunday school class at the Unitarian Fellowship in which she arranged for her students to visit and understand the faiths of other churches in the community.
Marj and Werner's next, and most adventurous move, was to Leonia, New Jersey, just across the river from New York City. Werner pursued graduated studies at Colombia while Marj returned to her nursing career in the operating room of a New Jersey hospital. After two very enjoyable years in the United States, the family moved to Ottawa. Soon after, Marj started the next phase of her career in the delivery room of the Ottawa General, where she remained full time until the age of 65 and three more years, on a part time basis. In addition to helping bring many babies into the world, Marj made some very good friends at the General. Marj then made a career change, serving as the Returning Officer for Ottawa West Nepean for two federal elections.
Marj and Werner's home was always a welcoming place for their children's many friends, including Bobby, Larry, Marg and Darlene. The family expanded with the addition of daughters-in-law Rina, Pina and Ewa and of grandchildren - Rebecca, Thomas, Stefano (Emma) and Marco (Cheryl). Marj was the personal birthing coach for three of her four grandchildren. Thanks to Stefano and Emma, Marj was on track to become a great grandmother this summer. Marj often remarked how grateful she was for her family.
Marjorie's final care has been entrusted to the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior, www.pilonfamily.ca ,where friends and family are welcome to post their memories of Marj.

Lech was born in 1930 in Postawy, Poland. In 1939 Russia invaded Poland, seized their home and he, his brother and mother were deported by cattle car to Siberia. His father was in an internment camp in neutral Lithuania. After months travelling they arrived in N. Kazakhstan where they were set to making bricks from clay and straw.
In 1941 came the Russian German war and Lech and the other refugees were forced to start travelling again. Over many months they made their way through Uzbekistan, Iran, Tashkent, Bukhara and Samarkand. They sailed down the Persian Gulf to Karachi where they stayed in a refugee camp for some months. The allied authorities were not sure what to do with all these women and children. Finally they were ordered to sail to Mombasa where they took a train to Kampala and a steam boat across Lake Kioga to Masindi, Uganda.
Here in Masindi Lech was to spend nearly 6 years, the rest of the war and the rest of his childhood. He went to school, joined the scouts learnt to sail and learnt to play the mandolin. In 1947 he sailed for England where he joined his father and brother, completed his high school education and graduated from Regent Street Polytech. In London he met and married his first wife and had two children, Mark and Julie.
In 1964 he was offered a place at Bell Northern Research Labs and sailed to Canada. While at Bell he completed his degree in Electrical Engineering. He and his first wife separated and subsequently divorced. He met and married his second wife Margaret, and in doing so acquired a second family of Kirsten, Simon and Jonathan. He did research in acoustics at Bell, later Nortel, until he retired.
In retirement he did volunteer work for CESO in India, enjoyed his many grandchildren, played his mandolin, golf, tennis, bridge, and sailed. He and his wife hiked and travelled widely in the UK, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Eastern Europe, the USA, New Zealand and China. They cruised the Mediterranean from Istanbul, through the South Seas and around S. America. They spent their last 15 winters in Ajijic, Mexico. He had a wonderful retirement.

DEANE, Christine Irene (nee Lawson)
It is with gratitude for her long and "perfect in every way" life, that we announce the death of Christine Deane at 98. Born in Hespeler, Ontario, our mother died peacefully in the Ottawa Civic hospital after a brief illness. Predeceased by the love of her life, Kenneth Lloyd Deane, after 67 years of marriage.

Her passion for music was enjoyed with the Westboro Recorded Music Society, at the NAC since its opening and as happy listener to the music of family members.
In retirement, extensive travel with Ken to Scotland and England, and to many countries in Europe, provided much joy and added to her ease in several languages. The International Association for Religious Freedom provided focus for some of those trips. A cottage here and many winters in Florida with family created a full and appreciated life.
Cremation has taken place. Following her wishes, a family celebration will be held in late spring.

Valerie Cousins
Valerie Cousins lived a life of integrity, compassion and courage.
After graduating from Fisher Park High, Valerie went to Teachers College and then began her teaching career at Ottawa's Agincourt Public School.
Although teaching would be a lifelong passion for Valerie, she wanted to broaden her horizons. Her brother George, who had attended Carleton and MIT on scholarship, encouraged her to apply to Wellesley College, not far down the road from MIT and he offered to help financially. And this is how Valerie came to enter the inner sanctum of one of America's elite, female, universities.
Upon graduation, Valerie still felt the desire to teach and she knew from her experiences at Wellesley that she had the ability to help others succeed. Now living in Montreal, she taught at Lorne Public School in Pointe Saint Charles, where over the following 3 years she created an environment in which students could find the joy in learning.
At night, Valerie had been taking a Masters in Educational Psychology from McGill, and this led to a position advising the directeur-general at Dawson College. Here she made lifelong friends with Miriam and Don Carver and Barbara and Ian Mackenzie.
It was at this point that Valerie took the leap into business, co-founding a successful communications and marketing firm, where she honed her writing skills and laid the foundation for her later creative efforts. It was here too that she worked with Alison Hall, a highly talented graphic designer who became a lifelong friend and collaborator on many projects.
With her marriage to Douglas - the love of her life - the birth of their son Ted in 1986, and a subsequent move to Ottawa, she dedicated herself to providing a nurturing home life and building a community of neighbourhood friends. Many of these same friends, Julie Bishop, Elizabeth and David Cuddy, Susan and Brian Lennox would be by her bedside over the last month of her life.
Valerie was very close to her brother and his 3 children. Many vacations would find Marc, Lisa and Charles camped out in the Cousins house - a treat for Ted to have 'siblings' with whom to play.
That Valerie was drawn to music was not surprising, given that her mother had been a professional 'sacred' singer and her uncle a Julliard trained opera singer. Classic Silk was Valerie's brainchild and under the musical direction of her friend and mentor, Cheryl McCarthy, this eight person jazz vocal group entertained Ottawans throughout the 1990s and created friendships that continue to the present.
During the 1990s there were many great family trips to Nantucket spent with friends Lora and Paul Stewart. On one such trip Valerie took a sketching tour given by Anne Butler, which awakened her desire for self expression through art. Sketching and painting became a lifelong practice for Valerie - one which brought joy, friendships and many well loved paintings.
Valerie enjoyed walking and painting at the Experimental Farm in Ottawa. This love of the Farm and her early bonding with her grandfather – a First World War Vimy veteran – led her to be the creative spark for two books For The Love of Trees - A Guide to the Trees of Ottawa's Central Experimental Farm Arboretum and VIMY Canada's Memorial to a Generation. The latter book led to Valerie receiving the Queens Diamond Jubilee medal in 2012.
Valerie had long pursued the idea of writing a fictional account of her grandparents' First World War experiences. At the age of 65 Valerie enrolled in Lesley University's MFA program in creative writing. She found in Rachel Kadish - one of her faculty advisors - the help she needed to move her writing forward. The return of her breast cancer, however, made this goal unreachable.
Her close friends Joan and Doug Shouldice, would echo, I'm sure, the sentiment expressed by another friend Jackie Hucker, who upon learning of Valerie's death, said "When I was with her, it seemed the sun always shone".
Valerie was a lifelong Unitarian Universalist and her thirst for spiritual enlightenment never ended. She will be dearly missed by her husband Douglas, son Ted, her brother George Lavoie and his three children Marc, Lisa and Charles, her Aunt Anne Davis, her first and second cousins and her many friends. A Memorial Service will be held on April 2 at 11 a.m. at the First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa, 30 Cleary Ave. Ottawa.

CRAIB, Prudence Wheeldon
Died on February 13, 2016, in the company of and supported by her beloved spouse of 37 years, Patricia Hill, her son Brian Craib Wheeldon (June), her daughters Laura Hill and Barbara Hill, and granddaughter Jenna Hill-Murphy. Lifelong friends Maureen Fraser and Sally Wills also provided loving support during the year long challenges posed by myelodysplasia (cancer of the bone marrow). Prue is also survived by her dear brother Philip (Rose) who live in South Africa. Prue was born in 1932 in South Africa to loving and liberal parents. She studied Social Anthropology at the University of Cape Town, and taught this discipline at the University College of Rhodesia and Nyasaland in Harare for a decade before immigrating to Canada in 1967. Thereafter she taught Sociology at Simon Fraser University in BC and Trent University in Ontario, in the mature student sections of these universities whenever possible. In her final professional decade, she worked on management training in the halcyon days of BNR and Nortel. After retirement, she volunteered for a sustained period in the early 2000's at the First Unitarian Congregation in Ottawa, and more recently with the LGBT Ottawa Senior Pride Network. She was a voracious reader and pursued a rich set of crafts and arts over her lifetime, including clothing design, quilting, stained glass, and calligraphy, all at which she excelled. In the last five years, Prue loved her art lessons with Val Roos and was an ardent painter. Prue and Pat created a blended family when they joined forces in 1978 and the family remains strong and lovingly supportive, especially in the final period of Prue's life. The family wishes to acknowledge with profound gratitude the health services proved by Dr. M Sabloff and Leah of the Ottawa General Hematology Department, and Dr. Cross, Dr. Bright and their colleagues at the Ottawa Palliative Care Network. She was given respectful and compassionate care by the wonderful staff of May Court Hospice in her final days, for which we are also deeply grateful. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate contributions to Hospice Care Ottawa - May Court Hospice, 114 Cameron Ave. Ottawa Ontario K1S 0X1. She will be sorely missed. There will be a Celebration of Life on Friday, April 22, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. at First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa, 30 Cleary Ave. A reception will follow the service.

Mathematical Quotations – Name Start with "E"
(Last Updated On: December 13, 2017)
Eddington, Sir Arthur (1882-1944) Proof is the idol before whom the pure mathematician tortures himself.
In N. Rose Mathematical Maxims and Minims, Raleigh NC: Rome Press Inc., 1988.
Eddington, Sir Arthur (1882-1944) We used to think that if we knew one, we knew two, because one and one are two. We are finding that we must learn a great deal more about `and'.
Eddington, Sir Arthur (1882-1944) We have found a strange footprint on the shores of the unknown. We have devised profound theories, one after another, to account for its origins. At last, we have succeeded in reconstructing the creature that made the footprint. And lo! It is our own.
Space, Time and Gravitation. 1920.
Eddington, Sir Arthur (1882-1944) It is impossible to trap modern physics into predicting anything with perfect determinism because it deals with probabilities from the outset.
In J. R. Newman (ed.) The World of Mathematics, New York: Simon and Schuster, 1956.
Eddington, Sir Arthur (1882-1944) I believe there are 15,747,724,136,275,002,577,605,653,961,181,555,468,044,717,914,527,116,709,366,231,425,076,185,631,031,296 protons in the universe and the same number of electrons.
The Philosophy of Physical Science. Cambridge, 1939.
Eddington, Sir Arthur (1882-1944) To the pure geometer the radius of curvature is an incidental characteristic – like the grin of the Cheshire cat. To the physicist it is an indispensable characteristic. It would be going too far to say that to the physicist the cat is merely incidental to the grin. Physics is concerned with interrelatedness such as the interrelatedness of cats and grins. In this case the "cat without a grin" and the "grin without a cat" are equally set aside as purely mathematical phantasies.
The Expanding Universe..
Eddington, Sir Arthur (1882-1944) Human life is proverbially uncertain; few things are more certain than the solvency of a life-insurance company.
Edwards, Jonathon When I am violently beset with temptations, or cannot rid myself of evil thoughts, [I resolve] to do some Arithmetic, or Geometry, or some other study, which necessarily engages all my thoughts, and unavoidably keeps them from wandering.
In T. Mallon A Book of One's Own. Ticknor & Fields, New York, 1984, p. 106-107.
Egrafov, M. If you ask mathematicians what they do, yo always get the same answer. They think. They think about difficult and unusual problems. They do not think about ordinary problems: they just write down the answers.
Mathematics Magazine, v. 65 no. 5, December 1992.
Eigen, Manfred (1927 – ) A theory has only the alternative of being right or wrong. A model has a third possibility: it may be right, but irrelevant.
Jagdish Mehra (ed.) The Physicist's Conception of Nature, 1973.
Einstein, Albert (1879-1955) [During a lecture:]This has been done elegantly by Minkowski; but chalk is cheaper than grey matter, and we will do it as it comes.
[Attributed by Pólya.]
J.E. Littlewood, A Mathematician's Miscellany, Methuen and Co. Ltd., 1953.
Einstein, Albert (1879-1955) Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.
Reader's Digest. Oct. 1977.
Einstein, Albert (1879-1955) I don't believe in mathematics.
Quoted by Carl Seelig. Albert Einstein.
Einstein, Albert (1879-1955) Imagination is more important than knowledge.
On Science.

Einstein, Albert (1879-1955) God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically.
L. Infeld Quest, 1942.
Einstein, Albert (1879-1955) How can it be that mathematics, being after all a product of human thought independent of experience, is so admirably adapted to the objects of reality?
Einstein, Albert (1879-1955) [About Newton]
Nature to him was an open book, whose letters he could read without effort.
In G. Simmons Calculus Gems, New York: McGraw Hill, 1992.
Einstein, Albert (1879-1955) As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.
Einstein, Albert (1879-1955) What is this frog and mouse battle among the mathematicians?
[i.e. Brouwer vs. Hilbert]
In H. Eves Mathematical Circles Squared Boston: Prindle, Weber and Schmidt, 1972.
Einstein, Albert (1879-1955) Raffiniert ist der Herr Gott, aber boshaft ist er nicht. God is subtle, but he is not malicious.

In H. Eves Mathematical Circles Squared, Boston: Prindle, Weber and Schmidt, 1972.
Einstein, Albert (1879-1955) These thoughts did not come in any verbal formulation. I rarely think in words at all. A thought comes, and I may try to express it in words afterward.
In H. Eves Mathematical Circles Adieu, Boston: Prindle, Weber and Schmidt, 1977.
Einstein, Albert (1879-1955) A human being is a part of the whole, called by us "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the resta kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.
Einstein, Albert (1879-1955) The world needs heroes and it's better they be harmless men like me than villains like Hitler.
In H. Eves Return to Mathematical Circles, Boston: Prindle, Weber and Schmidt, 1988.
Einstein, Albert (1879-1955) It is nothing short of a miracle that modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiousity of inquiry.
Einstein, Albert (1879-1955) Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labor in freedom.
Einstein, Albert (1879-1955) The search for truth is more precious than its possession.
The American Mathematical Monthly v. 100 no. 3.
Einstein, Albert (1879-1955) If my theory of relativity is proven successful, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare that I am a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.
Address at the Sorbonne, Paris.
Einstein, Albert (1879-1955) We come now to the question: what is a priori certain or necessary, respectively in geometry (doctrine of space) or its foundations? Formerly we thought everything; nowadays we think nothing. Already the distance-concept is logically arbitrary; there need be no things that correspond to it, even approximately.
"Space-Time." Encyclopaedia Britannica, 14th ed.
Einstein, Albert (1879-1955) Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone.
The Evolution of Physics.
Einstein, Albert (1879-1955) Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind.
Reader's Digest, Nov. 1973.
Ellis, Havelock The mathematician has reached the highest rung on the ladder of human thought.
The Dance of Life.
Ellis, Havelock It is here [in mathematics] that the artist has the fullest scope of his imagination.
Erath, V. God is a child; and when he began to play, he cultivated mathematics. It is the most godly of man's games.
Das blinde Spiel. 1954.
Erdös, Paul Mathematics is not yet ready for such problems.
[Attributed by Paul Halmos.]
The American Mathematical Monthly, Nov. 1992
Erdös, Paul A Mathematician is a machine for turning coffee into theorems.
Euler, Leonhard (1707 – 1783) If a nonnegative quantity was so small that it is smaller than any given one, then it certainly could not be anything but zero. To those who ask what the infinitely small quantity in mathematics is, we answer that it is actually zero. Hence there are not so many mysteries hidden in this concept as they are usually believed to be. These supposed mysteries have rendered the calculus of the infinitely small quite suspect to many people. Those doubts that remain we shall thoroughly remove in the following pages, where we shall explain this calculus.
Euler, Leonhard (1707-1783) Mathematicians have tried in vain to this day to discover some order in the sequence of prime numbers, and we have reason to believe that it is a mystery into which the human mind will never penetrate.
In G. Simmons Calculus Gems, New York: McGraw Hill Inc., 1992.
Euler, Leonhard (1707-1783) [upon losing the use of his right eye]
Now I will have less distraction.
In H. Eves In Mathematical Circles, Boston: Prindle, Weber and Schmidt, 1969.
Everett, Edward (1794-1865) In the pure mathematics we contemplate absolute truths which existed in the divine mind before the morning stars sang together, and which will continue to exist there when the last of their radiant host shall have fallen from heaven.
Quoted by E.T. Bell in The Queen of the Sciences, Baltimore, 1931.
Eves, Howard W. A formal manipulator in mathematics often experiences the discomforting feeling that his pencil surpasses him in intelligence.
In Mathematical Circles, Boston: Prindle, Weber and Schmidt, 1969.
Eves, Howard W. An expert problem solver must be endowed with two incompatible qualities, a restless imagination and a patient pertinacity.
Eves, Howard W. Mathematics may be likened to a large rock whose interior composition we wish to examine. The older mathematicians appear as persevering stone cutters slowly attempting to demolish the rock from the outside with hammer and chisel. The later mathematicians resemble expert miners who seek vulnerable veins, drill into these strategic places, and then blast the rock apart with well placed internal charges.
Eves, Howard W. One is hard pressed to think of universal customs that man has successfully established on earth. There is one, however, of which he can boast the universal adoption of the Hindu-Arabic numerals to record numbers. In this we perhaps have man's unique worldwide victory of an idea.
Mathematical Circles Squared, Boston: Prindle, Weber and Schmidt, 1972.
Ewing, John If the entire Mandelbrot set were placed on an ordinary sheet of paper, the tiny sections of boundary we examine would not fill the width of a hydrogen atom. Physicists think about such tiny objects; only mathematicians have microscopes fine enough to actually observe them.
"Can We See the Mandelbrot Set?", The College Mathematics Journal, v. 26, no. 2, March 1995.

Welcome to a Special Interview TwoMorrows Tune-In Podcast. Today on the show, host Chris Marshall presents an in-depth conversation between Back Issue writer Richard A. Scott and voice talent extraordinaire Gary Owens (Space Ghost, Laugh-In). Most of the interviews that are conducted for our various magazine and publications are done over the phone. This is a real treat because not only does Owens talk about his long career and also has some funny and interesting stories involving many of his famous Hollywood and Animation friends but he also a does a few of his voices along the way. You can read the full interview in Back Issue #30 – our Saturday Morning Heroes Special – it is on sale now. Thanks goes out to Richard A. Scott and Gary Owens for allowing the airing of the interview and special thanks to John Morrow and Editor Michael Eury.

text:
Pauvre Lisa (en russe ) est une nouvelle de Nikolaï Karamzine écrite en 1792 et publiée dans la Revue de Moscou (), éditée par Karamzine lui-même.

La nouvelle est devenue l'emblème du sentimentalisme en littérature russe. L'auteur exalte la sensibilité de ses personnages idéalisés (c'est surtout le cas de Lisa mais aussi d'Erast, jeune homme ) et s'attache à la description précise et poétique de leurs émotions - la vie intérieure des personnages passe sur le devant de la scène. Le conflit social est quasi absent ; l'auteur ne condamne pas Erast, qui du reste . Le dénouement tragique, novateur pour l'époque, surprend le lecteur.

L'action est située dans un paysage réel - Moscou et ses environs, notamment la Colline des moineaux, les alentours des monastères Saint-Simon et Danilov - ce qui contribue beaucoup à l'effet d'authenticité recherché par l'auteur, et qui a souvent trompé les premiers lecteurs.

Résumé
Lisa, jeune paysanne qui vient vendre des fleurs à Moscou, fait la rencontre d'Erast, jeune noble qui tombe amoureux d'elle et rêve désormais de mener une vie pastorale loin du monde. Les amoureux vivent une idylle jusqu'au jour où Erast annonce à Lisa qu'il doit partir avec son régiment pour quelque temps. Quelques mois plus tard, Lisa retourne à Moscou et rencontre Erast, qui ne veut pas la reconnaître. Elle apprend qu'il a perdu toute sa fortune aux cartes et va épouser une riche vieille. Désespérée, Lisa se jette dans un lac.

Antongil bay seascape represents some of the largest expanse of continuous pristine coastal habitat in Madagascar, with high marine productivity and diversity. Surrounded by lush tropical forests, Antongil Bay is the largest and most productive bay in the Western Indian Ocean also serving as a mating and nursery ground for many marine species such as sharks and humpback whales. The bay is globally important for its role as a mating ground for humpback whales, and is one of the largest and best-studied wintering sites in the Indian Ocean. Research in Antongil Bay suggests that the population of humpback whales utilizing the Bay is composed of approximately 7000 individuals and is continuing to recover from depletion by commercial whaling that occurred in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The bay contains many marine habitats: estuaries, mangroves, rocky shores, highly resilient coral reefs, and seagrass beds. 19 species of sharks, marine turtles, dugongs and at least 11 species of cetaceans are reported in the bay and adjacent offshore region.

I'm new to Seam and liking the look of the Persistence mechanism. For the view/presentation side I am using a library which is based around HttpServlet i.e. not JSF based.
When I put these together with my Servlet library and get to the first method marked "@Begin" I get an exception because I don't have a ConversationScoped Context defined. I confess, I half expected something like this.
I tried a variation of the suggestion in <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4828504/how-to-inject-conversationscoped-beans-in-a-servlet> but found that no ConversationContext was set (null pointer).
Again I half expected this not to work, as I clearly haven't set anything in the http headers for the "cid" part.
1) Am I trying to do something that Seam Persistence is not designed for? I see lot's of references which all point to JSF. Is it intimately linked with JSF?
2) Is there parts of the Seam Library that I can use at App Startup, Session Startup and/or on each Request so that ConversationContext (and other required Contexts) are set?
I can post other stuff from my application, but I'm not looking to get anyone to debug my app - just a pointer to a good example of Seam Persistence without JSF and/or a good manual.
1. Re: Can Seam Persistence be used without needing JSF i.e. from a base HttpServlet class?
In CDI 1.0 the Conversation scope was directly linked to JSF. In CDI 1.1 and Weld 2 (http://relation.to/Bloggers/Jozef) it is not. You should be able to use Seam Conversation to start the conversation in a standard servlet method as well.
2. Re: Can Seam Persistence be used without needing JSF i.e. from a base HttpServlet class?
Thanks for the steer, Weld 2 looks (on the face of it) close to what I'm after - although I can't see any documentation to assist with next level.
I had found this <http://seamframework.org/Documentation/ReplacingServletsWithSeamResources> and thought I was on to something - only to find this wrapper approach never got into v3 of Seam.
3. Re: Can Seam Persistence be used without needing JSF i.e. from a base HttpServlet class?
I have not. Weld 2 is very pre alpha, especially since the spec isn't complete. I'm sure Jozef would like to hear about any issues you uncover though.
4. Re: Can Seam Persistence be used without needing JSF i.e. from a base HttpServlet class?
Yes, the alpha status point worried me slightly, but thought/think it worth exploring a little.
This servlet wrapper appears (from the brief read) as it might fit my requirement well and be fairly straight-forward to integrate.
5. Re: Can Seam Persistence be used without needing JSF i.e. from a base HttpServlet class?
you should not really be worried about the Alpha version. Although the spec is not final and there are certain open issues with regard to the new features at the same time we are trying hard to make sure nothing from the existing CDI 1.0 feature set gets broken.
Anyway, your expection is interesting. I can see that SeSynchronizations (one of the ambiguous dependencies) is @Vetoed in Seam so it should not actually cause ambiguous dependency. I am going to look into this. If you could provide a minimal sample application / test that would be helpful, though.
6. Re: Can Seam Persistence be used without needing JSF i.e. from a base HttpServlet class?
Thanks for quick reply. Yes, I probably need to get my head into the spec - but I do like a good working example!
I have all this in a zip (Windows) - now where can I attach that? - if I can't place it somewhere in this thread I'll send it private.
7. Re: Can Seam Persistence be used without needing JSF i.e. from a base HttpServlet class?
OK, I think I know where the problem is. The SeSynchronizations component which I referenced in my previous reply uses Solder's @Veto mechanism in order to prevent AmbiguousResolutionException. Since you exclude Solder implementation in the first scenario there is nothing to prevent SeSynchronizations from being deployed and thus the exception occurs.
Still, I am wondering what causes the problem in the second scenario. Feel free to file a new JIRA issue at https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SOLDER and attach your zip there.
8. Re: Can Seam Persistence be used without needing JSF i.e. from a base HttpServlet class?
Jozef, I see your logic - I only added the exclusion as a hack to see if I could get round the second scenario (timewise I did that one first) that gives an Ambiguous Dependency on HttpServletRequest (as I've indicated above).
Now another interesting thing - when I went to the Solder issue tracker link you gave - I saw (right on the front page) under "Issues Due".
"A similar construct to the Seam 2 ContextualHttpServletRequest that can be used for running contextual stuff where the contexts are not automatically available"
This was the basis of my questions higher up this thread. Looks like it's lurked for a bit (raised 2010) but is currently "Coding In Progress" - I've voted for it - and will watch it as well.
9. Re: Can Seam Persistence be used without needing JSF i.e. from a base HttpServlet class?
AFAIK no one is working on this. Honestly I don't understand this bug. Every request in Java EE 6 is contextual. I haven't the slightest idea what we would that isn't being done by the container.
10. Re: Can Seam Persistence be used without needing JSF i.e. from a base HttpServlet class?
AFAIK no one is working on this.
That's interesting to know (and good if it means I don't waste time).
It's quite possible I'm confusing things and it's down to my limited understanding of this domain - I'm working backwards from the Database/Persistence requirements.
But going back to the start of the thread I was getting a "ContextNotActiveException" around Persistence Conversations. I may have extrapolated a bit to think that the "ContextualHttpServletRequest" would be an answer to this i.e. instantiate and keep a context active across servlet requests, may be it never was or wouldn't include Conversation context.
So, therefore a little confused by your comment "Every request in Java EE 6 is contextual" and the steer towards Weld 2 - are you refering to "every JSF request" or applying that to base Servlets as well? (I'd taken this as a key difference from one of your previous points).
11. Re: Can Seam Persistence be used without needing JSF i.e. from a base HttpServlet class?
Each Request has the RequestScope started, and obviously the ApplicationScope. In CDI 1.0, the Conversation is limited to JSF.

14. Re: Can Seam Persistence be used without needing JSF i.e. from a base HttpServlet class?
I'm now trying to add this into my Servlet and Seam Persistence example (to run in your JBoss/Weld 2 Alpha) - can you tell me what library provides the @Begin and @End annotations? My assumption is that these are provided by Seam Faces (in a JSF program) and Weld 2.0.0 (now) for a base Servlet example - is this correct?.
When I try to compile (with maven) I get "cannot find symbol" (for @Begin and @End) and in Eclipse I get "Begin cannot be resolved to a type".
