Neepawa is a small Manitoban town of nearly 4000 people, which, despite its size, concocts beautiful landscapes as well as successful individuals. One of these individuals was the chemist, Sir Charles Frederick Goodeve, who was born in Neepawa in 1904. At the age of 10, him and his family moved to Winnipeg where he graduated high school and obtained both a Bachelor's degree in Science and a Master’s degree in electrochemistry at the University of Manitoba. Goodeve relocated to London, U.K when he received a research fellowship to the University College London in 1927. He was awarded with a Doctorate in Science from the University of London in 1937. Charles Goodeve died in 1980, at the age of 76.
As a young man, Goodeve joined the volunteer

Charles Goodeve’s electrochemical achievements during the war were not the only successes he had in the scientific field. Specifically, he made significant observations regarding the absorption spectra. He established the band spectra for unstable molecules and the beginning point of diffuse or continuous absorption (which led to dissociation). Though the work was difficult to accurately complete during the time period, his measurements are still accepted today. Goodeve, captivated by the volatility of unstable molecules and compounds, went on to research the severely understudied oxides of chlorine, and later, the oxides of sulfur. His studies included determining the heats of dissociation of Cl2O and ClO2 in a calorimeter and measuring vapour pressure. His research on oxides of sulfur focused on the oxidation of sulphurous acid solutions, and on the formation of sulphuric acid mists from water vapour and sulphur trioxide. Though a mechanism for removal of this mist was devised in the lab, it was not realistically applicable to

Understanding a person’s life and struggles helps explain his or her character and leadership qualities. Smallwood E. Williams was born on October 17, 1907 in Virginia. He moved to Columbus, Ohio with his mother and stepfather when he was only eleven years old. Williams lost his father when he was an infant (Taylor 50). Upon moving to Columbus in 1918, his mother joined Bishop Robert Lawson’s Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith (COOLJC) and began taking Williams there every Sunday. A few years later, at age fourteen, Williams started preaching at the church while attending school. In fact, people started calling him “Boy-Wonder Preacher” mainly after his travel to New York City to preach at Lawson’s Refuge Church of Christ
Political advocacy organizations have historically played a big part in securing political rights for minority groups in Western Liberal Democracies. Whether we look to the now infamous Boston Tea Party to the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, we observe the importance of political organizations in their quest to ensure equitable rights for the people whom they represent. In context of the early twentieth century, the most prominent group to represent African-American’s in the United States was that of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The NAACP, as it is more commonly called, was founded on February 12, 1909 by a mixed group of individuals including but not limited to Ida B. Wells, W. E. B. DuBois and Archibald Grimké with the goal of creating a civil rights organization that would help assist in organizing for civil rights for blacks. One of its most prominent members, Charles Hamilton Houston, who became a part of the organization around the mid-twentieth century, changed the trajectory of the organization for years to come.

Charles “Chick” King was born on November 10th, 1930, in Paris, Tennessee. He lived in Paris most of his life until he was drafted to the Major League Baseball Association in 1951. He played for 11 years. Chick’s sport career started at Grove High School where he was an all- round athlete. He played football from 1947 to 1949 as well as ran track and played basketball. He was named to the all- state. He was also named to the all- county basketball team. After winning awards and playing greatly at Grove, he decided to attend the University of Memphis. He ran track at Memphis but mostly enjoyed the great game of baseball. That’s when he was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in 1951.
James Henry Gooding was reliably familiar with subjection on August 28, 1838 in North Carolina. At an especially super hot age his adaptability was gotten by a James M. Gooding, who may have been his dad, and he was sent to New York City. On September 11, 1846, Gooding was enlisted as an understudy in the New York Colored Orphan's Asylum, a recognizable school and motel run basically by Quaker ladies. There he got a set up masterminding and changed into an equipped and beneficial maker, a cutoff which would serve him for the straggling remains of his life. From 1850-1852 he was submitted out of the Asylum to work for an Albert Westlake. As he progressed toward adulthood he settled on the choice to cover his past as a
William Wells Brown was born a slave but died a free man. He wrote an autobiography about his life as a slave. He went into detail of how he and others were treated so cruelly. His master had owned forty slaves, they lived on a rather large plantation and their main production was of hemp and tobacco. This plantation was located some forty odd miles from St. Charles, Missouri. The master had no family but kept a female slave in the house with him to oversee the plantation. Every morning at four, a bell would sound, this was the signal to get up, eat and get to work. If any slave was late to the fields they would immediately receive ten lashes from the negro-whip. Brown was not a field slave so he had only heard and witnessed from a distance of this lashing. He

When Bobby Adedge was 18 years old, he had already won two Olympic gold medals. By the time he was twenty-two, he had been a well-known goalie on a prestigious professional hockey team. He had married an even more famous supermodel, who had her own budding career as an actress. He was thought to be smart, having invented the first dissolvable hockey puck, which was great for planet Earth and recycling, but not-so-good when hockey games went into overtime, the puck often melting onto the ice before the game was over. His inventor-phase was short-lived.
Russell Edwards, the owner of a 126-year-old shawl, which was claimed to have been found at one of Jacks murder scenes, states that he has found DNA evidence identifying Jack. The shawl was believed to have been found at Catherine Eddowes’, the fourth victim, murder scene. Edwards claims that he has a letter that proves that the shawl belonged to Sergeant Simpson, who was on duty the night of Eddowes’ murder (Conner). According to record, Simpson never washed the shawl of the blood and put it into storage, where it stayed until being sold to Edwards. With the DNA samples and the descendants, the blood found on the shawl was a match to Eddowes, and upon discovering semen on the shawl, a match was made to the Kosminski family. Jari Louhelainen,

“Chemist Collector Bader Donates RBW Notebook” is an article written by Theodor Benfey. This article was published in Newsmagazine of the Chemical Heritage Foundation, Volume 19, Number 4 Winter 2001/2. It can be found on pages 16 through 17. Alfred Bader was an ambitious graduate student at Harvard University. He attended a lecture course that was given by Robert Burns Woodward. Woodward was a distinguished chemist, also known for his artistic skills that display both the elegance of his organic syntheses and in the way he depicted them in his lectures. Although Bader didn’t do his graduate work with a different professor, his exposure to Woodward—a distinguished chemist of that time period—led to great accomplishments. This includes establishing
