He was not the only person that died that day...
Civil rights leader the Rev. Shuttlesworth remembered
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) - Flags across the area are flying at half staff in memory of one of the state's leading pioneers in civil rights and equality, Doctor Fred L. Shuttlewsorth.
News of Shuttlesworth's death spread quickly Wednesday both locally and across the nation. The civil rights icon pastored for 8 years in North Birmingham at Bethel Baptist Church before leaving for Cincinnati, Ohio.
Those years were anything but quiet as Shuttlesworth was one of the city’s most active voices for civil rights. During his career, Shuttlesworth was arrested more than 30 times and his church was bombed on three separate occasions.
People are both moved and saddened by the news of Shuttlesworth's passing.
The Reverend passed surrounded by his loved ones at Princeton Hospital just after 10am Wednesday morning. While grief in these times is inevitable, those who know Dr. Shuttlesworth best are hoping that his passing will spark renewed interest in his life and his work.
In august of 2009, the city of Birmingham, under then Mayor Larry Langford, formally apologized to Dr. Shuttlesworth for the treatment he received during the Civil Rights Movement. His arrest records were expunged.
Church leaders have only recently completed the renovation of the original Bethel Baptist Church. They had planned to hold a special service for Dr. Shuttlesworth in the coming weeks. There's no word how those plans will change.
Earlier Wednesday, CBS42 spoke with family members. Daughter, Patricia Messengill says they are grateful to many agencies in Birmingham, including the hospital and church. Messengill also says despite their loss, they are pleased to know that people far and wide are supporting not only the man, but the legacy he leaves behind.
Shuttlesworth was hailed by Reverend Martin Luther King for his courage and energy, during the Civil Rights Movement.
Now, more than forty years after the Civil Rights Movement is ended, the legacy left by Doctor Shuttlesworth is seen across the city. From the airport, to the streets of downtown, the movement, spearheaded by King and others like Shuttlesworth, remain engrained in The Magic City.
Since the announcement of his death, dignitaries far and wide have issued responses and condolences for the loss.
Sad...not a word mentioned about him on this forum by anyone...because it's all about the yte Apple guy, I guess (that I personally don't give two f*cks about)...

25-year old Kelvin Jayanoris and his 22-year old partner Jeanette Mawere have designed Kenya's first tablet, an 7-inch Android device that is already in the market. For just Sh17,000 (about US$170) the Noris Kaboo is the cheapest tablet around.

I want to start my story in Germany, in 1877, with a mathematician named Georg Cantor. And Cantor decided he was going to take a line and erase the middle third of the line, and take those two resulting lines and bring them back into the same process, a recursive process. So he starts out with one line, and then two, and then four, and then 16, and so on. And if he does this an infinite number of times, which you can do in mathematics, he ends up with an infinite number of lines, each of which has an infinite number of points in it. So he realized he had a set whose number of elements was larger than infinity. And this blew his mind. Literally. He checked into a sanitarium.(Laughter) And when he came out of the sanitarium, he was convinced that he had been put on earth to found transfinite set theory, because the largest set of infinity would be God Himself. He was a very religious man. He was a mathematician on a mission.

And the most interesting thing I found out about it was historical. In the 12th century, Hugo Santalia brought it from Islamic mystics into Spain. And there it entered into the alchemy community as geomancy: divination through the earth. This is a geomantic chart drawn for King Richard II in 1390. Leibniz, the German mathematician, talked about geomancy in his dissertation called "De Combinatoria." And he said, "Well, instead of using one stroke and two strokes, let's use a one and a zero, and we can count by powers of two." Right? Ones and zeros, the binary code. George Boole took Leibniz's binary code and created Boolean algebra, and John von Neumann took Boolean algebra and created the digital computer.
So all these little PDAs and laptops -- every digital circuit in the world -- started in Africa.
And I know Brian Eno says there's not enough Africa in computers; ...

I have to disagree, Brada. I think every intellectual person would see, this kind of cult personality, build by corporate capitalists and propagated by mass media, is nothing but a smoke screen. The same with the term "Western Civilisation"

That is partly on China.
A lot of major brands make usage of poor and cheap labor.
