Our world is built on numbers and the first of these was the number 1. Starting with scratches on a bone and heading through the Greek philosophers to the development of the Roman Numerals and the Arabic number system that fed through to the numbers we use today.
Using Terry Jones semi-comic presentation style, the film is built on two key aspects. The main part of the film is based on Jones' narration, the actual words he says. Without being aloof or inaccessible, the film tells the story in a fascinating and enlightening way – never going into too much detail but doing enough to actually make you feel like you have learn something and have a very broad knowledge base on which to go off and find out more.
The other aspect is the delivery style – colorful, irreverent and fun. Mostly this works and the graphics and comedy add entertainment value to the film without taking away from the interesting content; however at times the constant computerized numbers do get a little annoying and I did want it to be too cheerful and populist but I suppose it was damned if it does and damned if it doesn't.
Jones is a good presenter because he holds these two directions together – seeming genuinely enticed by the subject while also enjoying himself. He is perfect for the broad approaching while he also drops in some great little bits of trivia (the word bankrupt coming from the Italian courts punishing a cheating banker by breaking his table; or the Italian zero being so mistrusted as a symbol that its original name giving us the word "cipher" today).
Overall, it may annoy the more aloof viewer of intellectual, stuffy documentaries about maths and science but this film succeeds in presenting the potentially dull subject in such a lively and entertaining manner that it deserves the audience it won. Perhaps a little too populist at times, it is still very interesting and enjoyable and is the sort of programme that almost makes you think that the BBC is fulfilling its public service charter.
This movie or whatever is trash, it is so boring and teachers be making you do this with an assignment.
So good, I will share this!!!!!
A wonderful documentary.Simple yet conveyed what had to. I wish I were in Rome (or that part of the world) to see the fight happening between Roman numerals & the Indian numerals.
Aww shucks that was a pleasing way to spend an hour on a quiet Sunday afternoon.
didn't mesoamerican civilizations had a zero prior, or concurrect with India?
Cute presentation! However, as they wanted a philosopher really obsessed with 'The One', they should have also mentioned Parmenides (and other Eleans), while Pythagoras/Pythagoreans talked about the Universe based on numbers (and therefore, given somewhat in plural), for the Eleans, One was not just a building block of everything, it was everything there is, nothing else (like difference, change, movement, plurality) can exist nor even be thought. I get it, they are not (much) popular in mathematics, but they sure do belong in this doc.
WoW this is amazing stuff.
Informative documentary, though the presentation seems to appeal more to children tha to adults.
I have never been a big fan of maths, it just freaks me out.
This was a fascinating doc that kept me interested throughout.
The info is easy to understand but detailed and the humor made the subject more approachable for me.
every 1 should watch, dont fish and drive. on youtube!
@Waldo Watch 'What is Reality' recently posted here and investigate the Quanta Computer. 'Maybe' is a very important factor in calculation. If you know the answer, you don't need it but if you don't have the answer you most definately do need it. Trinary is the only way to think.
It has been brought to my attention, indirectly, that I often speculate far outside the confines of the subject matter included in the documentary that I am commenting on. The above statement about the state of Eastern society, which in truth I know nothing of, is a prime example of this. In reality all I know of Eastern society is what the Western powers that be decide they will let me know, so I have no right to question or pass judgment on it anyway. In other words disregard all of the above statement except, "Brilliant!". Though I think to stay this rigidly within the subject matter of the documentary will effectively reduce the comments section to nothing more than a thumbs up or down of the doc in question, so be it.
What possible use would the word "maybe" have in a system of calculation? Or are you making a joke, if so it was funny I must admit.
Brilliant!! I had no idea the Arabic number system came from India. A very refreshing take on the beginnnings of civilization as well, to often western civilization gets all the credit. In reality we used Eastern tools and philosophy to come to the modern state of things. One has to wonder why things never progressed any further than they did in the East, after all they gave the world the foundations that we built everything else on. In my opinion it is because they became so consumed with the metaphysical world of religion, and how to properly practice the worship of Allah.
Good doc. fun to watch, the humour made it interesting.
One of my most favorite documentaries.
It may seem bit silly at times, I mean with Terry Jones and all, but the message is non the less elegant and profound.
I wish he'd do The Story of Zero, its history is even more fascinating because its existence was so actively suppressed for so long by so many.
Great documentary! Very entertaining and I believe will drive the curiosity of people to look more deeply into human civilization and culture. A good start to self education!
Nice documentary, really enjoyed this one.
After the first 10 sec. I knew it was going to be a little goofy. But it was fun to watch.
Love Terry Jones! Python Forever!!

Chinese New Year celebrations continue overseas
Since Chinese people can be found in every corner of the world, celebrations for the Chinese Lunar New Year have taken root across the globe. They came in various forms and styles -- let's first go to San Francisco in the United States to see a stage of sights and sounds presented for the festival.
A two-hour long performance brought by China Central Television was staged over the weekend in San Francisco, entertaining thousands in the local audience. It was one leg of the "CCTV Spring Festival Overseas Tour". The show includes singing, dancing, comedy routines, and acrobatics presented by more than 50 artists.
CCTV broadcasts an annual Spring Festival gala in Beijing on Lunar New Year's Eve. It has long been a must-see event for Chinese all around the world. This show brought the spirit of the event to the other shore of the Pacific Ocean for the first time in over 20 years. The local audience was thrilled to see their idols and stars up-close.
"It's very good. They did quite well. I've been working as a judge here in San Francisco for more than 30 years. This is the first time for me to see such wonderful performances," San Francisco resident Guo Liliang said.
"We can now see the stars who could only be seen on the Spring Festival Gala on TV. The show makes me feel very nostalgic," San Francisco resident Wang Song said.
"The central government cares for us overseas Chinese very much. We can feel how deeply festive it is. We know that our country has been growing stronger," San Francisco resident Qiu Weifeng said.
Over in Barcelona, Spain, a colorful parade took to the street near the Arch of Triumph on Saturday. The Catalan Chinese community, along with the Barcelona City Council and the association of Casa, organized the parade to celebrate the start of the Year of the Rooster. The nearly 2-hour parade wowed spectators with skillful dragon and lion dances, martial arts, and the crackling of fireworks.
The Spanish city has for years maintained the tradition of hosting a street party to greet the Chinese Spring Festival.

Monlin was flown to South Korea, where he underwent multiple procedures that would leave him looking literally like a new man. Let Me In Thailand paid for corrective surgery on his jaw, forehead and eyelids, and even threw in some botox injections to help with his excessive drooling, as well as skin treatments for his blemished complexion. After a three-month recovery period, the young man looked so shockingly different that his own mother couldn't recognize him.
On the Season 3 premiere of Let Me In Thailand, the new Noppajit Monlin can be seen sitting at a table right across from his mother at a restaurant, as she waits for him to show up. "I really miss him, and I'm not acting," the teary-eyed woman says into the camera, just as her son gets up and starts walking towards her.
"Mom, do you remember me? Look at me," Noppajit asks, to which she replies "Is it you? Is it really you?". According to Coconuts Bangkok, the woman had to look for his plastic surgery scars to convince herself that she was talking to her son.
"People say I'm a different person. I feel much better. Before, people said my face was not normal and society didn't accept me, now I have more friends," Noppajit said on the show.
Even though he now looks like a South Korean male model, Noppajit says that he is still the same man inside. His heart still belongs to "Tob" a transgender woman he met on Facebook three years ago, and who has been by his side ever since.
"I'm protective of him, but I'm not scared of him leaving me. We've trusted each other since the beginning," Tob said on Let Me In Thailand.
That's great and all, but I just can't seem to get passed how this man ended up looking completely different than before. I knew South Korean plastic surgery could be extreme, but this is just crazy.


Proudly serving the Jackson, Mississippi community, our methadone clinic provides adults struggling with addiction the ability to recover from heroin, oxycodone, Percocet, and other opiates.
What is Purpose of Group Therapy for Opioid Abuse?
The complexities linked to the abuse of opioids require an integrated treatment approach.
For those that are struggling with an addiction to opioids, treatment for the physical, behavioral, emotional, and psychological components of their addiction must be received if lasting recovery is to take place. Group therapy provides patients with the ability to appropriately address each of these facets in an appropriate manner while progressing towards a future that is opioid-free.
Group therapy is a therapeutic tool that uses multiple participants within a single session. Sessions are typically led by an individual counselor, although some sessions may require the assistance of multiple counselors based upon the requirements of each group.
Like individual therapy, the main objective of group therapy is to address and treat the external influences that may have caused an individual to abuse opioids in the first place. Factors such as stress, pressure, a history of trauma, and mood disorders can often times cause an individual to turn to abuse opioids as a way to escape. Group therapy provides a safe and supportive environment in which to openly discuss these factors while working towards resolutions.
By providing patients with the opportunity to work alongside other individuals who are also progressing towards recovery, individuals are able to provide and receive the support and encouragement that is required in order to achieve lasting recovery.
Jackson Comprehensive Treatment Center sincerely values the importance that group therapy plays in the progression of a patient's treatment. The overall progress of our patients is increased when therapeutic interventions such as group therapy are introduced into a patient's comprehensive treatment plan.
If you or someone that you care for is battling an addiction to opioids, please contact Jackson Comprehensive Treatment Center today. Our knowledgeable and compassionate team of medical experts is here to assist you in safely breaking free from the chains of addiction and retuning to the healthy, happy, and substance-free life that you deserve to be living.
Jackson Comprehensive Treatment Center is a methadone and Suboxone clinic providing medication-assisted therapy and counseling services in Jackson, Mississippi.


Friends of the Family is inviting local people to apply now for its next befriender training course, taking place in Winchester in February 2019. The free, two-day course, will enable participants to become a volunteer befriender with the charity's 5s to 13s Befriending Service and offer support to a local child. The course aims to equip volunteers with the knowledge and skills needed to befriend a child. Once trained, volunteers are carefully matched to a child whom they visit once a week for a period of 12 months.
Befriending usually takes place after school and volunteers engage in a range of activities with the child such as taking them to the park or local library, playing games, doing arts and crafts, reading or helping with homework. In addition to free training, volunteers receive paid travel expenses, regular supervision and invitations to volunteer get-togethers.

1999: Andrew Kokoraleis, the last ever in Illinois?
6 comments March 17th, 2011 Headsman
There was certainly no cause when killer Andrew Kokoraleis suffered lethal injection at 12:34 this afternoon to suppose that his would be the last execution in the illustrious history of Illinois.
Against all odds, however, it was the last.
Illinois has had plenty of poster boys for death penalty foes — Rolando Cruz; the Ford Heights Four — but Andrew Kokoraleis was hardly among them.
As a member of a satanic murder cult branded the Ripper Crew, he'd participated in abducting, raping, mutilating, murdering, and cannibalizing prostitutes under the charismatic sway of one Robin Gecht.*
The exploits of Gecht, Edward Spreitzer, and brothers Andrew and Thomas Kokoraleis in the Dark Lord's services are nauseatingly recounted at trutv.com and the spellbinding true-crime book Deadly Thrills.
By the time Andrew Kokoraleis's appeals had wended their way through the courts, it was high tide for capital punishment in the United States: a modern record 98 executions were carried out in 1999; a Texas governor best-known to the general public for his prodigious execution output was lining up the White House bid that would hurl America into much deadlier pastimes; a law stripping condemned prisoners of federal appellate avenues had just been passed with overwhelming support. Even liberal Democrats dared not touch the divisive issue of capital punishment for fear of appearing soft on crime.
Though sub-Texan in its gurney output, the Land of Lincoln was cranking out a consistent 1 to 2 executions per year in the late 1990's. It had just inaugurated a Republican governor who as a lawmaker had voted to reinstitute that state's death penalty statute. Illinois held well over 100 death row prisoners, including one of Kokoraleis's own confederates from the Ripper Crew.
So the 21st century figured to present an ample harvest for the Illinois death chamber.
Even as Ryan's graft-plagued term was beginning, however, the executioner's swan song was underway.
Just days into Ryan's term, a man named Anthony Porter, who had avoided execution by the narrowest of margins the year before, walked out of Illinois death row a free man — exonerated by the efforts of a Northwestern University journalism class.
"I turned to my wife, and I said, how the hell does that happen? How does an innocent man sit on death row for 15 years and gets no relief? And that piqued my interest, Anthony Porter."
-George Ryan
Ryan okayed the execution of Kokoraleis six weeks later, but the piqued governor would soon impose an executive moratorium on further executions.
Ryan's personal journey on the death penalty during his four years in the governor's office, as linked to his state's journey over the past decades, must be one of the rare operatic sagas in modern American political life.
Days before he left office (bound for trial on federal corruption charges, and thence to prison), George Ryan emptied death row in Illinois — including a commutation to Ripper Crew member Edward Spreitzer.
Because our three year study has found only more questions about the fairness of the sentencing; because of the spectacular failure to reform the system; because we have seen justice delayed for countless death row inmates with potentially meritorious claims; because the Illinois death penalty system is arbitrary and capricious – and therefore immoral – I no longer shall tinker with the machinery of death.
I cannot say it more eloquently than Justice Blackmun.
The legislature couldn't reform it.
Lawmakers won't repeal it.
But I will not stand for it.
I must act.
Our capital system is haunted by the demon of error, error in determining guilt, and error in determining who among the guilty deserves to die.
This move drew plenty of criticism, but the George Ryan death penalty moratorium persisted through the terms of his successors.
Finally, legislators did repeal it.
Early in 2011, longstanding efforts to push that moratorium into formal abolition finally bore fruit in the state legislature. After a protracted silence on the matter, Gov. Pat Quinn** finally — just eight days ago as of this posting — signed that legislation into law, simultaneously commuting all the state's then-existing death sentences.
Naturally, no government can bind its successors, and laws eliminated today might be reinstated tomorrow. But for now and for the foreseeable future, this date in 1999 marks the final destination not just for Andrew Kokoraleis — but for the Illinois executioner.
* To magnify this troupe's outsized crime-tabloid appeal, Gecht, the leader, had actually worked for legendary serial sex-killer John Wayne Gacy.
** In earlier years, Quinn was a political rival of George Ryan.

1994: John Wayne Gacy, scary clown
8 comments May 10th, 2009 Headsman
This date in 1994 was the last on earth for Pogo the Clown — better known as John Wayne Gacy.
Hello, children.
The local small businessman and closeted pederast filled his crawlspace with the remains teenage boys he'd either kidnap off the street, or hire in his capacity as an independent contractor.
When he wasn't raping and murdering, he kept up appearances as a Democratic machine operative (once photographed with First Lady Rosalynn Carter) and amateur block party harlequin.
Gacy was a notable "serial killer artist" in the years he spent awaiting lethal injection.* In that capacity, the clown motif continued to inspire him.
* The lethal injection was botched with a clogged IV tube. It took 18 minutes.

Highway 17 widening ignites hope in Renfrew
Widening 22.5 kilometres of the Trans-Canada Highway will make commuting safer and development more attractive west of Ottawa, says the town's mayor.
Work to make highway 4 lanes from Arnprior to Renfrew could start in next 2 to 3 years

The province has announced plans to convert the remaining two-lane stretch of Highway 17 between Renfrew, Ont., and Arnprior, Ont., to four lanes.
The 22.5-kilometre stretch to be widened runs from Scheel Drive in the Township of McNab/Braeside to three kilometres west of Bruce Street in Renfrew, according to a news release from Renfrew–Nipissing–Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski on Thursday.
The project will also include the construction of four new interchanges.
"The economic opportunities, the development, the growth, and the tremendous enhancement to highway safety is something that we consider a top priority," said Yakabuski in a video posted to Twitter on Thursday.
Campaign promise
Widening Highway 17 in eastern Ontario was a promise that Premier Doug Ford made in the run-up to the 2018 provincial election.
Once completed, the entire highway between Arnprior and Renfrew would be four lanes. For drivers heading west from Ottawa, the twinned portion currently ends at Scheel Drive.
Highway 17 between Arnprior and Renfrew has been the scene of a number of serious collisions, including a fatal six-vehicle crash at Calabogie Road in 2016.
The first phase of the project, which would include building a new interchange at Calabogie Road, could get underway "within the next two or three years," according to Barbara Mottram, a spokesperson for Transportation Minister Caroline Mulroney.
Improvement for safety, development
Renfrew Mayor Don Eady said the announcement was a pleasant surprise given the long-standing calls to widen the highway.
He said the two-lane highway is often used by people with medical appointments in Ottawa because the municipality is linked into the city's hospital system.
"If you're going to Ottawa in the middle of winter, it's a much safer drive in four lanes than two. It's been a safety concern for many years up in this area," Eady said.
He said he expects it to increase house prices since the housing market in Arnprior has been stronger due to highway access. Eady said it will be about 10 years before the widening reaches all the way to Renfrew.
"Over that 10 years, we'll see a lot more development in Renfrew getting in on the ground floor for the future," he said.
No cost estimate
Three other interchanges would be installed on the highway at Gillan/Lochwinnoch Road, O'Brien Road, and Bruce Street/Castleford Road, Mottram wrote in an email.
The project will also will require the government to purchase the necessary property and carry out an environmental assessment, among other steps, she said.
The province is not releasing an estimated cost for the highway widening until after the contract is awarded.

Wangechi Mutu: I Am Speaking, Are You Listening?
Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco (FAMSF)
Between Afrofuturism, fantasy and postcolonialism: the most comprehensive monograph to date on the fantastical worlds of Wangechi Mutu.
By Claudia Schmuckli, with contributions by Isaac Julien and Wangechi Mutu
Designed by Tessa Lee, Public
Wangechi Mutu takes viewers on journeys of material, psychological and sociopolitical transformation; this volume explores her most recent groundbreaking work. Over the past two decades, Mutu has created chimerical constellations of powerful female characters, hybrid beings and fantastical landscapes. With a rare understanding of the need for powerful new mythologies beyond simple binaries and stereotypes, Mutu breaches common distinctions between human, animal, plant and machine.
An artist who calls both Nairobi and New York City home, Mutu moves voraciously between cultural traditions to challenge colonialist, racist and sexist worldviews with her visionary projection of an alternate universe informed by Afrofuturism, posthumanism and feminism. This dazzling book accompanies a presentation of Mutu's new work on view at the Legion, along with a greater selection from her landmark oeuvre. It is the most comprehensive book on the artist to date.


23/08/2012 · I open those hard pods that are too tough to cut and take out what I call my okra pearls, the seeds, and can them with my good okra....or I cook them with the good okra...they will be good to eat....I also dehydrate okra, sprinkle it with kosher salt, and we love to eat it, kind of like pop corn....if you like stewed okra, when you slice up the... The okra seeds can be dried, roasted, and ground to make a non-caffeinated coffee substitute. If you end up with more overgrown okra than you need for coffee or seed saving you can make some cute Santa ornaments with them.

"To eat okra this way," she says, "you need to pick or purchase it reasonably small — no longer than 3 to 4 inches [long], about 3/4 inch in diameter." I tried biting off bits of a raw okra pod and it didn't taste bad, except when I hit the goop.

16/01/2007 · By all means, leave the seeds in the okra! If you're deep-frying it, just cut off the very top (the stem end), and bread & fry whatever way you like. Basically, the only part of the okra you don't want to eat is the stem.
Home-grown okra has little in common with its rubbery supermarket counterpart: grow your own and see the difference. Just be sure to sow more than you think you'll eat, as only a couple of pods ripen at once.

They say goalkeepers are like fine wine, they get better with age. The Bafana Bafana number one has eluded to the exact age he wants to retire. Check it out!
He has missed the majority of the season for both club and country due to a shoulder injury he suffered in December last year, but that hasn't derailed Itumeleng Khune from reaching for the stars when it comes to how long he hopes to continue his playing days.
After reading Soccer Laduma's Fan Park story on the 73-year-old Israeli goalkeeper, Isaak Hayik, Khune, who is inspired by Hayik's incredible achievement, took to Twitter to share the age he would most likely want to retire.
"Hence I became a goalkeeper (because0 goalkeepers mature like wine, my plan (exactly), the only difference is that I'm targeting 80. #Inspired " the 31-year old tweeted.
The Ventersdorp-born shot-stopper has been with the Amakhosi since 2004, meaning that he would most likely retire in the year 2068 if he were to get his wish!
Would you like to see Khune play until age 80?


Upon setting up your work scheme, it's time to consider the best way to promote and sell your business and work. Advertising is an important aspect of any business and is responsible for generating profits for your business. Aside from advertising, you also have to place importance on building your reputation as well as researching and finding possible clients for your business. You have to allot time and energy at the beginning to market and get the word out about your business.
A proper market strategy is needed to know your main objectives to create facts about your specific target market. These include market size, sales potential, assessment of your competition, information on available competitive pricing and market practices.
To cite an example, your specialty might be nature and wildlife photography. This means your client base may consist of art directors and picture editors of travel magazines, nature magazines, basically anything related to clients who require these types of content. Start by creating a list of potential clients with this precise need and decide their levels of demand.
Create a portfolio of your best work. It must cover the full range of your expertise and showcase your talent and versatility in your field. This will be the best example of your work for future clients and will be the deciding factor as to whether or not they will hire you.
Socialize and create a network with buyers, existing clients and potential clients. You can even offer the use of your work to any local benefit for charity or non-profit organizations. Even offer your services to teach photography short courses or tutorials to get your name out in the community.
Another great way to increase publicity for your work is to give out prints of some of your images to galleries and museums. Also try to have a local establishment display your work such as a lobby or a waiting area as this would be beneficial in showcasing your talent to attract likely clients.
If your budget allows it, you can also use various advertising media to market your business. You can try direct marketing, brochures, sponsorship and the like. This way you can reach a lot more prospective clients.
But there's no better way to promote your business than by good old fashioned word of mouth. It's the kind of advertising that achieves far better results in building a loyal client base based on your work. It assures you that all your clients who have spread the news of your business are satisfied customers and they freely recommend you to their friends and family. This is the most effective way of spreading the word.

text: n unknown pundit once claimed that human existence is a marathon, not a sprint. Dr. Julian Earls can attest to that, as a measured approach to life has gotten him far in both the boardroom and the running course. The holder of 10 university degrees, including six honorary doctorates, and the recipient of government service awards from two U.S. presidents, Dr. Earls has proven that he can accomplish just about anything he sets his mind to. Earls is currently an executive-in-residence at Cleveland State University's Monte Ahuja College of Business. He joined the school in 2006 after 40 years with the NASA Glenn Research Center that included a 3 1/2-year stint as center director. His office walls are festooned with plaques and framed degree certificates, as well as photographs of him as a younger man running several of the 27 marathons he's completed over the years. Spry, fit and appearing a decade younger than his 71 years, Earls lives by the runner's credo, "The will to win means nothing if you haven't the will to prepare." That mentality was forged at an early age, notes the 38-year Beachwood resident. As a teenager growing up in Portsmouth, VA, Earls was the first in a family of 11 children to attend college. Though neither of his parents graduated from high school, they created a nurturing environment that fed Earls's hunger for knowledge on science and outer space. The Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957 held particular sway, translating into dreams of studying engineering at a university. Earls's family could not afford to send him out of state, so he commuted to nearby Norfolk State University, receiving a scholarship to study physics. Upon graduation, he spent the next year earning a Master's in radiation biology at the University of Rochester. In September 1965, Earls walked into NASA Glenn as a 22-year-old nuclear engineer, researching the effect of space radiation on spaceship components. So began a long, memorable career that encompassed a critical era for the U.S. space program. Earls was on the launch team of the Apollo 13 lunar landing mission that safely returned to earth after an accident crippled the craft. He was also friends with Ronald McNair, one of the astronauts killed during the launch of the Space Shuttle Challenger in 1986. In 1977, Earls was one of 8,000 applicants to sign up for NASA's astronaut program when the agency opened the field to scientists and engineers. While he wasn't selected, the experience taught him a valuable lesson. "You may not get everything for which you apply, but the alternatives can be just as rewarding if you're properly prepared," Earls says in his pleasant Virginia drawl. A series of administrative positions primed him for a directorship that included management of a $650 million annual budget and over 3,000 employees. During his years as leader of the 350-acre NASA Glenn research complex, Earls helped organize experiments for the aeronautics and space programs. While portioning funds to create quieter jet engines and more efficient space-flight propulsion systems was demanding, the job was made easier by his hand-picked staff. "I surrounded myself with smart people," Earls says. "When you never have to look at the clock, you know you've got the right job." Earls left NASA in January 2006, joining CSU just two months later. "My wife says I flunked retirement," he chuckles. As an executive-in-residence, Earls enjoys a flexible schedule of lecturing, grant-writing and fundraising. He was part of a team that opened the on-site Campus International School, with a curriculum that includes teaching Mandarin Chinese to kindergartners. The educator also helped launch a STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) school aimed at giving young people of color the same high-tech learning opportunities he strived for during his formative years. The Cleveland Metropolitan School District MC2STEM High A School has classes on CSU's campus as well as use of a cutting-edge fabrication laboratory. This work helped earn Earls an honorary doctorate of science from CSU at last year's spring commencement. In addition to his on-campus STEM efforts, Earls co-organizes forums at local high schools where students interact with experts from various technical fields. A tech-savvy mindset must be nurtured at an early age, Earls maintains, a piece of advice he gave his pupils at Cuyahoga Community College where he taught physics and math for 27 years. "I didn't really have those opportunities growing up," he says. "I wanted to pass that information on." The same drive that earned Earls his doctorate in radiation physics from the University of Michigan has served him well in other pursuits. An avid runner, he completed his first marathon in the early 1980s. He also ran the Boston Marathon twice, and finished the 1984 Marine Corps Marathon at a personal-best 2:49:52. "All runners remember their best time," Earls says. Pulled into the sport by two NASA colleagues, Earls would embark upon twice-weekly, 20-mile runs that crisscrossed the neighborhood near his home on the corner of Richmond Road and Bridgeton Drive. He completed his first official foray into distance running in under four hours, growing to enjoy the challenge of improving his time and training in the worst weather Cleveland has to offer. Running non-stop for 26.2 miles is a test of physical and mental endurance, says Earls. The last 6.2 miles, uncharted territory where legs turn to jelly and lungs to shriveled pulp, are especially grueling for the ill-prepared. "If you're not there mentally, Dr. Julian Earls pictured in his CSU office and receiving an honorary doctorate of science at last year's spring commencement. you'll never finish," he says. Although a torn meniscus ended Earls's racing career, the idea of preparing for and meeting goals has resonated. He taught that lesson to his sons Gregory and Julian, Jr., Beachwood High School graduates who, respectively, have moved on to post-production work in Hollywood and pain-management care in Macon, GA. Earls and Zenobia, his wife of 52 years, also have two granddaughters, Madsyn and Mariah. Championing education and a life of service has a way of coming back to you during hard times, says Earls. When his home was lost in a May 2013 fire, the Beachwood community rallied around his family. The local police and fire department vigilantly protected his vacant property, he notes, while city leadership came to him with personal offers of assistance. Forty years with NASA and more than two dozen marathons showed Earls how preparation, endurance, determination and a lifetime of paying it forward can lead to out-of-this-world success. "If you focus on being of service, other people will act in kind and fight your battles for you," he says. "You can never lead with your ego." Photo (opposite page) by Scott Morrison.
