  • The A-Z List of Black Inventors This List of Black and African-American Inventors Have Certainly Earned Their Place in History
    The A-Z List of Black Inventors This list of Black and African-American inventors have certainly earned their place in history. Let's take a look at the legacy of these inventors. By Christopher McFadden July 13, 2018 1, 2, 3 The following join the ranks of many great African-American inventors who have contributed greatly to society throughout the years. BIOGRAPHY Black Inventors - The Complete List of Genius Black American (African American) Inventors, Scientists, and Engineers with Their Revolutionary Inventions That Changed the World and Impacted History - Part Two Many black inventors have struggled with hardship, poverty and, in some circumstances, slavery, to prove their genius to the world. The following are but a few of the many inventive and talented members of the black community in the United States. Many of the entries on this list are derived from the dutiful work of one Mr. Henry Baker who worked for the U.S. Patent Office between the late 1800's and early 1900's. At this time, the African-Americans had few rights so Henry wanted to make sure that some, at least, received some form of unofficial recognition for their contributions to society. This list is not exhaustive but is comprehensive and is in alphabetical order. You can find the list version at the end of the content. 1. Abrams, W. B. What his invention was: Hame Attachment Patent Number: 450550 Patent Date: 4/14/1891 2. Alcorn, George Edward Jr. What their invention or inventions was/were: X-Ray Spectrometer For Distant Galaxies And 19 Others Additional information: George is best known as the inventor of the Imagining X-Ray Spectrometer.

  • GW 3-5-15 Speech 1 Professor Kahn Tribute Speech Outline Specific Goal
    GW 3-5-15 Speech 1 Professor Kahn Tribute Speech Outline Specific Goal: To inform the audience about the impact Lloyd Augustus Hall had on the science of food. (See II in the introduction) Thesis: Lloyd Augustus Hall created a flash drying technique, which cures meat by using sodium chloride and was able to obtain information about spices when preserving food. (Mirrors thesis in bottom of introduction) Intro: I. In today’s day and age we have been blessed with refrigeration to keep our foods, especially meat, from spoiling. A. But before refrigeration was around sodium chloride was used to preserve food. B. However, this was not always such a solid and safe technique. II. Today I will inform you about the impact Lloyd Augustus Hall had on the science of food. (Copies Specific Goal from the header) III. My love for food is what drew me to Lloyd Augustus Hall; I don’t know what could be better than food and science. IV. Lloyd Augustus Hall created a flash drying technique, which cures meat by using sodium chloride and was able to obtain information about spices when preserving food. (Mirrors thesis in top of header) Transition: Hall was a true chemistry lover. ( Uses different words than thesis) Body: I. So, I will start with how he used chemistry to create flash drying. (Restates 1st main point from the thesis) a. Hall saw the important of saving meat for later uses. (General terms) i. Hall changed his interest from a chemist at the Chicago Health Department to “food chemistry… and he began working for Boyer Griffith Laboratories” in 1919 (Monkeyshines On America, 2000).

    B- Spring 2018 Special Supplement on Urban Agriculture Introduction to Urban Agriculture compiled by Jack Kittredge from writings by Tom Philpott in Grist, Dr. Caroline Goodson, Jane Jacobs, the Guardian, Brette Jackson, Tammy LaGorce and Winnie Hu in the New York Times, and others Urban agriculture, according to most definitions, is the practice of cultivating, processing, and distributing food in or around a village, town, or city. That locational aspect is crucial to distinguishing urban agriculture from generic agriculture, which most people associate with taking place in rural areas. Urban agriculture projects include: community gardens established on vacant land that’s cultivated and maintained within an urban neighborhood; school gardens cultivated and maintained on school grounds, and factor into the curriculum; entrepreneurial gardens that grow produce and flowers for profit; backyard gardens, windowsill gardens, and rooftop gardens that provide vegetables, herbs, and flowers to individuals and/or small families. A reconstruction of ninth-century gardens in the Forum of Caesar, Rome. On the right Prehistoric Origins are rows of vegetables, on the left and center are grapevines, vegetables and fruit trees. But the rural association with farming has not farmed lands within city-walls and there is According to one contemporary account, the always been the case argues Jane Jacobs in her little evidence for commercial food markets of visitor to one of these barns “will nose the classic 1970 book “The Economy of Cities”.

  • Ladislav NACHMÜLLNER Vs the Griffith Laboratories
    1 Ladislav NACHMÜLLNER vs The Griffith Laboratories 24 September 2015, by Eben van Tonder INTRODUCTION Prague Powder is an iconic curing salt, one of the first in the USA to contain sodium nitrite as curing agent. It was successfully marketed around the world and has been used by butchers, housewives, farmers and bacon curers since 1925. The questions of who invented Prague Powder and when it was invented unlock one of the most fascinating sagas in the history of meat curing. The popular narrative, held since 1925, relegates the creation of Prague Salt to obscurity in the chaos of World War 1, Germany. Prague Powder was presented as a progression on Prague Salt in 1933 by the company who imported it into the USA since 1925, The Griffith Laboratories. Griffith announced the creation of Prague Powder in 1934. (Prague Powder;1963: 3) I have been fascinated by the lack of information on the origin of Prague Salt in Germany or details on its creation. Griffith offers virtually no information on the background of Prague Salt or its origin which made me speculate that there may be elements that they may not want us to know. 2 This precipitated an investigation that focused on Germany, the findings which I published in an article, Concerning the direct addition of nitrite to curing brine (2014) and Concerning Chemical Synthesis and Food Additives (2015). Despite everything I uncovered about the use of nitrite in curing brines, a practice that became popular during the World War 1, I did not find any evidence of a curing salt called Prague Salt to ever have been produced in Germany or for that matter, anywhere in the world before it was introduced by Griffith in 1925 in the USA.
