James Francis Edward Stuart, styled James VIII and III (1688-1766; 'The Old Pretender') << Back to full list of biographies James was the son of the deposed King James II. 'Pretender' in this context means 'claimant', to the thrones of England and Scotland which his father had fled in 1688. The birth of James on 10 June 1688 precipitated the invasion of England by William, Prince of Orange, because he was the heir to the throne and would have been brought up as a Catholic. Conspiracists claimed that the true Prince had died soon after birth and was substituted by a 'warming-pan infant', smuggled into the queen's bed. James II left England on 23 December 1688 and never returned. In 1708 James made an attempt to invade Scotland and recapture the throne, but his army was prevented from landing by the British fleet. Queen Anne, James's half-sister, died in 1714. After a brief stay in Avignon, the Pope offered James refuge in Rome in 1717.

Incredible Self-Portraits by Levi van Veluw Today’s inspiration comes from Levi van Veluw, a multidisciplinary artist from Netherlands, famous for his remarkable self-portraits. Light by Levi van Veluw Gravel by Levi van Veluw Carpet by Levi van Veluw Tape by Levi van Veluw Sterling Wood by Levi van Veluw Puzzle by Levi van Veluw Natural Transfers by Levi van Veluw Landscapes by Levi van Veluw Digital Scores and Libretti-Mozilla Firefox The scores and libretti in this Virtual Collection include first and early editions and manuscript copies of music from the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries by J.S. Bach and Bach family members, Mozart, Schubert and other composers, as well as multiple versions of nineteenth century opera scores, seminal works of musical modernism, and music of the Second Viennese School. Many, such as variant editions of nineteenth century operas and related libretti, fall into intellectually related sets that are meant to be seen and used together. As a group, they give scholars a window into the study of historical performance practice that cannot be duplicated using the holdings of any one other library. In the study of primary sources, detail matters: marginal notations or a copyist's handwriting can be just as important as the simple fact of the notes on a page of music.

the disposable memory project / leaving disposable cameras around the world, and telling their story Fluid Simulator-Mozilla Firefox Check out my blog! E-mail: kotsoft@gmail.com Fluid Instructions: You can drag the fluid around with your mouse and adjust the sliders at the top to change the properties of the fluid in real-time. Check out my newest app: Grantophone! More cool demos! Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href=" About This is my implementation of the Material Point Method. For interpolation, I use the quadratic B-spline presented here: Analysis and Reduction of Quadrature Errors in the Material Point Method. Instead of integrating the density over time (which is what most of the MPM papers do), I do a density summation every frame. Material Parameters Some of these parameters are hard to explain in one or two sentences (and a couple I made up) so I'll also link you to their corresponding Wikipedia pages. Density - Target density for the particles. Stiffness - How compressible the fluid is. Bulk viscosity - Kind of like damping. Gravity - How much the particles will accelerate downwards.

Pretender Profile: King James VIII & III Ordinarily the birth of an heir to the throne is an occasion of great joy; the hope of stability and the future of a dynasty. However, the birth of Prince James Edward Francis Stuart, first son King James II of Britain and Queen Mary of Modena, brought about war, upheaval and the effective fall of a dynasty that had reigned in Britain since 1371. The prince, who would become known as “The Old Chevalier” and “The Old Pretender” was born at St James Palace on June 10, 1688 and was soon thereafter baptized into the Roman Catholic Church of his parents and this was the “problem” with the newborn prince. The Prince was brought up in France and upon the death of his father in 1701 was recognized by British Jacobites as King James VIII of Scotland and III of England. In 1708 James III made his first effort to restore himself to the British throne and King Louis XIV of France made a major commitment to supporting him. Fighting raged off and on in Scotland to little effect.

Dunning–Kruger effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia-Mozilla Firefox Cognitive bias about one's own skill The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities. It was first described by Justin Kruger and David Dunning in 1999. Some researchers also include the opposite effect for high performers: their tendency to underestimate their skills. In popular culture, the Dunning–Kruger effect is often misunderstood as a claim about general overconfidence of people with low intelligence instead of specific overconfidence of people unskilled at a particular task. Numerous similar studies have been done. There is disagreement about the causes of the Dunning–Kruger effect. There is also disagreement about where the effect applies and about how strong it is, as well as about its practical consequences. The Dunning–Kruger effect is defined as the tendency of people with low ability in a specific area to give overly positive assessments of this ability. David Dunning [edit]
