ISLAND SUN - APRIL 16, 2010 Hortoons FISH Needs Your Help by Maggi Feiner, President, FISH of Sanibel e are about halfway through our annual FISH (Friends In Service WHere) of Sanibel community fund drive, and while we’ve had a gener- ous response from many this year we are falling short of our financial goal of $42,000 to keep our full range of FISH services going. FISH relies heavily on the support of the community to meet its financial needs and unfortunately with the current economic environment the needs of some of our island neigh- bors are greater than ever. Demand for FISH services has never been so great as this year. Keeping the Food Pantry stocked and being able to provide emer- gency financial assistance is the top pri- ority for FISH in 2010. There have been some significant suc- cess stories of island neighbors who have been given a hand up by FISH this year. Take Sally, a single mother of two chil- dren who lives and works on the island. She has her hours cut back over the past three months, due to the economic climate. Until recently, Sally has been coping with her rent and other domestic expenses. As a result of the reduction in her weekly earnings, however, she has needed assistance with food for herself and her children. FISH has been able to help her out by providing food from the food pantry and our program director has Read Us Online: www.IslandSunNews.com been able to help her find her some state benefits that she is entitled to and that she was not aware of – these will help her on an ongoing basis. Another example of how FISH helps out island neighbours is John, an elderly ADVENTURES IN PARADISE man who has been a long-term resident Outfitters to the Outsiders of Sanibel. Because of the recent cold weather John was unable to pay his elec- tric bill – and was threatened with being cut off.

    L’épopée fantastique 1820-1920, cycles et motos 8 avril - 25 juillet 2016 Musée national de la Voiture du Palais de Compiègne www.musees-palaisdecompiegne.fr Suriray, Vélocipède de course, 1869. ©RMNGP/Tony Querrec La collection de cycles du musée national de la Voiture compte, pour les années 1818-1920, parmi les plus remarquables d’Europe. Une importante acquisition réalisée en 2015 a permis de notablement l’enrichir et se trouve présentée au public à cette occasion. L’exposition L’Epopée fantastique est organisée autour de différentes thématiques comme les innovations techniques, la recherche de vitesse, les loisirs, les courses, les clubs et la pratique cycliste, ainsi que les impacts sociaux liés au développement des deux-roues entre 1820 et 1920. Des emprunts à d’autres musées français comme le musée Auto Moto de Chatellerault et le musée d’Art et d’Industrie de Saint Etienne, ainsi qu’à des collections privées viennent compléter cette première sélection. C’est à l’occasion du 125e anniversaire de la course Paris-Roubaix, dont le départ a lieu à Compiègne depuis presque quarante ans, que l’exposition sera ouverte au public. On pourra y découvrir les origines du cycle et de la moto et l’extraordinaire émulation qui animait les fabricants, les coureurs, les cyclistes et motards de ces années d’expérimentations et d’exploration qui sont synonymes de nouvelles sensations. L’exposition s’articule autour de quatre axes principaux : 1. Les années 1820-1860 : de la draisienne au vélocipède. Né de la draisienne, inventée par le baron allemand Karl Drais, le vélocipède est issu de la mise en place d’un pédalier sur la roue avant, innovation attribuée au français Pierre Michaux en 1861.

BER£EBILE «t4* tf J! - SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION The emphasis upon publications as a means of diffusing knowledge was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In his formal plan for the Insti­ tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com­ mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. These pub­ lications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, and other interested institutions and specialists throughout the world.

  • 1 a Short History of Bicycling
    1 A short history of bicycling Introduction Those who are ignorant of history are not, in truth, condemned to repeat it, as George Santayana claimed. However, people do spend a great deal of time reinventing types of bicycles and of components, and one purpose of this necessarily brief history is to give would-be inventors a glimpse of some of their predecessors. Sir Isaac Newton said that we make advances by standing on the shoulders of giants, but we must first know that there were giants and what they accomplished. Another purpose is to kill the many-headed Hydra of bicycling myths. People invent these myths—for instance, that Leonardo da Vinci or one of his pupils invented the chain- driven bicycle—for nefarious or self-serving or humorous purposes, and the myths are immediately picked up by journalists and enthusiasts and almost instantly become lore, however false. Historians repeatedly denounce the fakes, but the amateur historians continue to report them as if they were true. These people seem to practice a crude form of democracy: if they read something in ten publications and the contrary in one, then the one reported most often is, they believe, correct. We have become the disciples of a group of cycle-historians that has become a powerful international movement having scholarly proceedings and meetings. Derek Roberts, the founder of the group, has written correc- tion sheets for every new book incorporating cycling history, pointing out inaccuracies in detail. John Pinkerton encouraged Roberts to gather these together and published Cycling history—myths and queries (1991) in a fur- ther attempt to stem the tide of inaccurate versions of history.
