Life


Theodorus was a disciple of those younger Aristippus, grandson of the more renowned Aristippus. He also heard the lectures of Several philosophers beside Aristippus; including as Anniceris, and Dionysius that the dialectician, Zeno of Citium, and Pyrrho.


He had been banished from Cyrene, but for what reason isn't said; and it's from the expression recorded of him on this occasion,"Guys of Cyrene, you really do poorly in banishing me from Libya into Greece," and out of his being a disciple of Aristippus, which it's inferred that he was a native of Cyrene. Of his subsequent history there's not any connected account; however, the anecdotes of him reveal he was at Athens, where he narrowly escaped being mentioned before the Areopagus court. The effect, but of Demetrius Phalereus guarded himand this episode may therefore likely be set through Demetrius' ten decades of government at Athens, 317--307 BC. Since Theodorus was discharged from Athens, and was later in the aid of Ptolemy in Egypt, it isn't improbable that he shared with the overthrow and exile of Demetrius. The account of Amphicrates of Athens mentioned by Diogenes Laërtius, he was condemned to drink hemlock and therefore expired, is an error. 1 response he left into some threat of crucifixion that Lysimachus had employed, was renowned by several ancient authors (Cicero, Seneca, etc.):"Employ these dangers to these courtiers of yours; for it matters not to Theodorus if he rots on the ground or in the atmosphere." In the camp or court of Lysimachus he returned seemingly into that of Ptolemy. We read of his visiting Corinth with lots of his own disciples: but that was possibly only a passing visit during his residence in Athens. He returned to Cyrene, also dwelt there, states Diogenes Laërtius, together with Magas, the stepson of Ptolemy, that dominated Cyrene for centuries (c. 300--250 BC) as viceroy and as king. Theodorus likely ended his days in Cyrene.

The Winogradsky Column: an enclosed self sustaining microbial system.

 The Winogradsky Column: an enclosed self sustaining microbial system. Or, to put it differently, a microbial backyard. The columns are named for a famed Russian microbiologist, Sergei Winogradsky (his wikipedia page could be seen here). Winogradsky made lots of significant discoveries and is believed to be the father of sulfur microbiology. By analyzing nitrogen and sulfur determined microbes, Winogradsky managed to deduce that they got energy from chemical reactions and found that energy to grow carbon dioxide, a chemical procedure called chemoautotrophy. Before his suggestion, just plants and coloured bacteria were believed to rise by adjusting carbon dioxide using light energy; i.e. photoautotrophy. We people are heterotrophs, we must consume repaired carbon (i.e. crops, animals, candy bars) to find the electricity and carbon we utilize to grow. The columns were devised by Winogradsky as a means to enhance for germs out of sediments and soils. Enrichment method to develop certa...

The Beginning of Progress Pinel

 The Beginning of Progress The Start of Progress Having worked in an asylum, Pinel was curious to learn how emotionally ill patients had been treated in Bicêtre. There he struck Jean-Baptiste Pussin, the mind of the mental ward. Pussin was handling patients in a manner Pinel hadn't seen before. In 1790, three years earlier Pinel came, Pussin had arranged chains eliminated from the majority of the patients, a number of whom were chained for a long time. Pussin also banned violence against the sufferers. Pinel was impressed with Pussin's regime, but matters weren't perfect. He noticed that: "everything introduced to me the look of confusion and insanity" Pinel began making additional modifications to the treatment of mentally ill patients. He: Abandoned early remedies like Galen's bloodletting, he might detect no clinical signs in favour of realized He was dealing with individual people with particular problems Instead of a uniform mass of lunatics abolished vi...
