Big city ski trails have lights that will show the way on the darkest nights. Here in Homer, while the Kachemak Nordic Ski Club might like a few lighted trails, the expense and effort can be daunting. About five years ago, trail groomer and longtime volunteer Dave Brann had an idea. "I got to thinking about Tiki torches," Brann said. So when Home Depot had an end-of-summer sale at a $1 each, Brann bought 100. Call it a low-tech solution. The ski club calls it Friday Night Lights and Saturday Night Lights, too. Friday Night Lights Location: Baycrest Trailhead by Alaska Department of Transportation, Sterling Highway. In case of trail conditions, may be moved to Sunset Loop Trailhead, Diamond Ridge Road When: 6-8:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday Fee: $10 ski club members, $20 nonmemembers; children free. about: Ski or snowshoe the Baycrest Ski Trails by Tiki torchlight. Enjoy hot chocolate by a bonfire afterward. More info: Kachemak Nordic Ski Club, kachemaknordicski-club.org. or 226-4659 On the first weekend of the New Year, Jan. 6 and 7, the Nordic ski club brings back the popular event. From 6 to 8:30 p.m. on the Baycrest Ski Trails, a torch light loop will offer skiers and snowshoers of all ages and abilities a chance to enjoy some night time skiing. Headlights are recommended, but with a full moon that weekend and the torches along the path, there should be plenty of light to ski by. One year, the Nordic ski club did Full Moon Fridays every month, even when the moon was dim. Another year they had Friday Night Lights once a month. Now it's an annual January event that has proven popular. "We found we had as many people coming one weekend as spread over four weekends," Brann said. Meet at the Baycrest trailhead by the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities off the Sterling Highway. While the trails have about eight inches of snow, the trailhead was looking pretty thin recently and the optional venue is at the Sunset Loop trailhead on Diamond Ridge Road next to the Alascom towers. Dogs are OK on the lower trails, but not on the Sunset Loop. A warming bonfire with hot chocolate and cider is at the trailhead. There's something magical about skiing at night. Maybe it's the anonymity that comes with the darkness. Between the glare of headlamps and the torches, you can slip by friends and pretend to be a mysterious pirate skier. Maybe it's the bright stars and moon of a dark winter night. Big city lights hide the stars, but by Tiki torches and at the edge of Homer's light pollution, the north star and the Big Dipper show the way. Maybe the northern lights will make an appearance, too. In the Homer Demonstration Forest that the Baycrest trails wind through, it's possible to see moose bedded down in the woods. Maybe a lynx hunting snowshoe hares will cross the trail. Great horned owls call in the distance. Some skiers add blinking, battery powered Christmas lights to their outfits. One year Sue Post gave her skier friends little fiber optic light strands that blinked pink, blue and green. We wore lights wrapped around our heads and looked like aliens swooshing through the night. Darkness, fresh snow, flickering torches and the click-click of skis and poles sounding through the night it all creates a festive affair. "Kind of the aura of it people enjoy that," Brann said. Make it a skiing weekend. Enjoy the Nordic ski club's trails at Baycrest, Lookout Mountain and McNeil Canyon during the day. Invite out-of-town friends, or if you're from out of town, stay at a local inn. Then when night falls and after you've had a hearty meal, ski by torchlight into the mysterious night.

Love Me Non-Tender Candidates 2008…Part One
After all the Post season celebration have muffled to a silent roar, we embark on a journey that no player wants to roam. That journey down the road of arbitration. Where the road is lined with pitfalls and traps, one of tendering offers or letting the players kneel by the wayside to gather themselves after being cast off by their clubs. It is a time to reflect and expose the best and worst of this time of year for baseball. It becomes the time when you really know what your team GM and your coaching staff think of you as a productive member of their franchise. And the journey starts now……………….
On this date, Friday, December 12th, every team in the major leagues must decide to either tender contracts to their arbitration-eligible players, or set them free as more glut in the 2009 free agent market. And while in past years the non-tendered players weren't considered to be difference-makers, the list could be more interesting this year. There are several players on this list who either had bad situation on their teams or might have been fighting back from injuries in 2008.
Players who are "tendered" on Friday are considered signed for 2009 at a salary to be determined, not less than 80 percent of his salary the previous season, and both sides continue negotiating. If a deal cannot be struck, the team and the player will each file a proposed 2009 salary in early January. Those figures are exchanged on Jan. 19, and a date for a salary arbitration hearing is then set for Feb. 1-21.
If the sides still cannot come to terms before the date of the hearing, a representative for the team and one for the player present a case before a panel of arbiters, which chooses one salary or the other. On the other hand, if a player is not tendered a contract before Friday's deadline, he becomes a free agent.
A nationwide economic downturn has affected how Major League Baseball teams are conducting business, and in an effort to cut corners, the number of non-tendered players could increase, based solely on the market's projected rise in their salaries based on arbitration data and past results.. The same can be said for the quality of those players. Some of the guys being considered for non-tender have been great contributors to their teams in the past, but not during the 2008 season.
Past players non-tendered include David Ortiz, Rick Ankiel, Ryan Franklin, David Eckstein, and Chad Durbin. Usually at least a few useful guys are unearthed. I am going to submit a few names that are being considered to be non-tendered starting at midnight tonight. Some of these names might sign free agent contracts with their old teams, but usually if a player is released from that team, they tend to float to another organization instead of resign with their old clubs.
Coming into the deadline are a few names that might mean somehting to several Tampa Bay Rays fans. A few names from the past are being considered to be non-tendered tonight. One of them is currently on the Rays roster and might have been pre-destined for this list during the season with the acquiring of Gabe Gross during the season.
Designated Hitter/ Right-fielder Jonny Gomes has been the emotional sparkplug of this Rays young team for several seasons. But in 2008, after some spotty play in the outfield, both in left-field and right-field. Posting a ugly .167 batting average during the season might not bode well for Gomes to even be considered a contract in 2009. But one of the great facts of arbitration is that Gomes made $ 1.25 million in 2008, and the arbitration might not even give him a substancial increase.
He might skate by and be offered a contract based on his loyalty and the teams' need for at least some kind of right-handed bat in the rightfield corner. Situations could change in the next few months, but the Rays could "rent" Gomes for now and get a trade return on him later in the Spring if needed.
The Rays have other players who will be on the bubble on Friday, like right-fielder and left-handed bat, Gabe Gross. He might be the best cltch hitter the Rays had in 2008, but he also might be caught in the numbers games as the team just traded for the young and undercontract for 6 more years Matt Joyce. Both players have a defensive pedigree, and it all might come down to if the Rays think that Gross will win the spot and be worh the money to keep, or set Joyce up in right and let Gross go, hoping he remains to be put under a free agent contract at a reduced price.
This might be the tricky one for the Rays. Gross did everything asked of him in 2008. He also is a great clubhouse guy who is never in trouble and always helping the younger outfielders. His ceiling might be higher than Joyces' right now after a banner year where he set career numbers in almost every offensive category. It was a year where he was used more, and saw more plate appearances than any other time in his career. Gross might join Gomes on the free agent market where there is a glut right now for corner outfielders. If not for that trade during the Winter Meetings, Gross would have been offered a contract without question.
An ex-Rays who might be getting considerable consideration from his current team is the Houston Astro's Brandon Backe. However, with the current state of the Astros' rotation — they have little Major League-ready depth in their farm system and few backup options to protect themselves from injury and inconsistency — they may decide to hold on to the right-hander. And with a salary of only $ 800,000 for 2008, he might come in at a considerable discount compared to the free agents on the current starting pitching market.
Astros General Manager Ed Wade sounded like he's willing to give Backe another look but at the same time noted the right-hander's 2008 season was a disappointment and he'll have to prove a few things in 2009. But the Astros have very little pitching depth, and the three top prospects — Brad James, Sergio Perez and Bud Norris — likely won't be ready for the big leagues come Opening Day. That alone may ensure Backe is tendered a contract on Friday.
Another ex-Rays who has had to basically live out of his suitcase this past season is reliever Chad Gaudin. Two years ago it seemed that the Toronto Blue Jays were serious about the young pitcher and staked him a claim in their Bullpen. But during the off-season he was traded to the Oakland A's where he started and relieved for the Athletics. He was then sent packing to the Chicago Cubs in the deal for Rick Harden as a key plug for the Cub's Bullpen problems.
Since arriving in Chicago, Gaudin went 4-2, with a 4.26 ERA and got 27 strikeouts in 27.1 innings of work in 2008 for the Cubbies. Gaudin is known for his slider and his sinker, which both have above average movement to both sides of the plate. Also in his arsenal is a sinking change-up that can come in on left-handers. Gaudin might be a casualty of expectations in 2009, and might be non-tendered as rendered a free agent by the Cubs.
Another possible casulty to the non-tender pile might be a National League pitcher who has been fighting to get into game shape for over a year after having 2 injuries in the past 2 seasons. Milwaukee Brewers' starter Chris Capuano came to the team with high expectations. He was considered one of the top 5 pitchers in 2007 before a labrum injury forced him to have surgery on 10/11/2008. Capuano rehabbed and was struggling to get into game shape when another injury hit him during 2008 Spring Training. This time a torn ligament in his left pitching elbow basically shelved him for the entire 2008 season. He was retroactively posted to the 15-day DL on March 27th.
He was twice transferred on the DL lists in 2008, going from the 15-day disabled list again on September 1st, then subsequently put back on the 60-day DL on October 31, 2008. Capuano's case is complicated because he earned $3.75 million last season but did not pitch because of the injury. If the Brewers tender him a contract, they could not cut his salary by more than 20 percent, and it seems unlikely they would commit such an expense to a pitcher still rehabilitating. If the Brewers in fact decide to non-tender Capuano, they would try to re-sign him to a new, less expensive contract for 2009. He's eligible for free agency after next season.
There are other "big names" being considered during the non-tender phase of arbitration. A few might have seemed like promising rising stars in the MLB a few years ago, but might have had tough times and might be in consideration for being released by their clubs. One of the most visible name on this list might be former 2003 Rookie of the Year winner Angel Berroa of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Another name sure to be heard on Friday will be Baltimore Orioles' pitcher Daniel Cabrera. The club has to decide whether to offer a contract to Cabrera. If Baltimore doesn't, the hulking right-hander will become a free agent one year ahead of schedule. If the O's do, they may wind up going to arbitration. Andy MacPhail, Baltimore's president of baseball operations, said Thursday that he's still trying to make a decision. Cabrera, although erratic, remains one of the most experienced starters in the Orioles' organization .
Baltimore has just one starter penciled into next year's rotation and is trying to add at least two veterans by trade or free agency this offseason. Jeremy Guthrie remains the only surefire member of the starting staff, and Baltimore must decide whether Cabrera is a replaceable asset or one that's worth one last shot at trying to salvage his potential. Cabrera has made at least 26 starts in each of the past five seasons, and he's logged at least 140 innings in each of those campaigns. The 27-year-old started relatively strong in 2008, jumping out of the gates to a 6-5 record and a 4.33 ERA in the first half of the season. After the All-Star break, however, he was 2-5 with a 7.59 mark.
And still, the overall numbers represented an improvement on his previous season. Cabrera went 8-10 with a 5.25 ERA in 2008 and snapped a two-year streak of leading the league in walks. One year earlier, he went 9-18 with a 5.55 ERA. I think the Birds will take a gamble on Cabrera for one more years and help place at least one more piece into the pitching puzzle for 2009. But I do think he will have a short leash in 2009 with the Orioles, and might be a trade deadline casualty if he is again wild and uncontrolable next year.
Pittsburgh management has still not made a determination to whether or not they plan to offer a contract to right-handed reliever Denny Bautista before the midnight on Friday for teams to tender contracts to all arbitration-eligible players. Bautista is the only one of the team's eight arbitration-eligible players whose status is in question. The Pirates' management team has had internal debates this week about whether or not to keep Bautista, though no resolution has yet been made.
The Pirates acquired Bautista late last June in a minor trade with the Tigers, and the control problems that Bautista had in Detroit and other previous stops resurfaced again with the Pirates. He allowed 28 earned runs and 28 walks in 41 1/3 innings of relief for Pittsburgh. He struck out 34. Bautista earned $395,000 in 2008, just over the Major League minimum. He would be in line for a significant pay raise should he go through the arbitration process with the Pirates.
The Pirates will tender contracts to their seven arbitration-eligible players — Ryan Doumit, Zach Duke, John Grabow, Adam LaRoche, Paul Maholm, Nate McLouth and Tyler Yates. Of that group, Doumit, Duke, Maholm and McLouth are all arbitration eligible for the first time.
The Red Sox must tender 2009 contracts to all unsigned players on their 40-man roster by Friday at midnight ET. The only players this truly impacts are those eligible for arbitration. For the Red Sox, that list includes first baseman Kevin Youkilis, closer Jonathan Papelbon, backup catcher Kevin Cash and lefty specialist Javier Lopez.
Reliever Manny Delcarmen was seven days short of enough service time to qualify for arbitration, so the Red Sox can simply renew his contract in Spring Training. Cash is the most likely candidate to be non-tendered on Friday. The Red Sox's catching situation is in a state of flux, as the team continues to negotiate with Jason Varitek and scour the market for trade possibilities.
Even if Varitek returns, the club might seek a young player with more offensive potential than Cash to be the backup. The Red Sox like Cash defensively, and he does a nice job of handling Tim Wakefield's knuckleball. However, there's a chance he simply doesn't fit into the plans for 2009. Even if the Red Sox non-tender Cash, they are still free to negotiate with him or re-sign him at some point. The same goes for any non-tendered player.
The Royals need to find some room on their 40-man roster and that could be accomplished on Friday, the deadline for clubs to offer contracts to players. When the Winter Meetings closed, the Royals had 39 players on the winter roster but had signed pitchers Doug Waechter and Horacio Ramirez. They'd also reached an agreement with pitcher Kyle Farnsworth, and when that contract is approved another body will be added.
Adding Waechter filled the roster and, by Friday, a spot will be needed for Ramirez. The Royals could designate a player for assignment or non-tender a player, in short, not offer him a contract. The only way a club can keep an unsigned player is to tender a contract. If a player is non-tendered, he goes off the roster and becomes a free agent. Then he can sign with any club, including the Royals.
One possible option for the Royals would be to non-tender pitcher Jairo Cuevas and sign him to a Minor League contract. Cuevas has been the subject of a tug-of-war between the Royals and the Braves, each team claiming him on waivers from each other in the last two months. One writer speculated that, in order to save money in an effort to sign shortstop Rafael Furcal, the Royals might non-tender such players as catcher John Buck and outfielder Mark Teahen who both figure to do well in salary arbitration.
Explanation of Type "A" and "B" Arbitration Senarios
With Arbitration days starting on Monday December 1st, MLB's GM's have other things beyond the Holiday Season to think about on this date. Not out of their minds is the fact that several MLB free agents will be looking for their own types of Christmas presents either from their current clubs, or a new suitor for 2009.
On Monday, teams will be making major decisions regarding their Type "A" and Type "B" arbitration eligible free agents and/ or roster babies. These decisions will not be made lightly, and sometimes a teams' June Draft can be effected by the results, both positively or negatively with their decisions.
The Tampa Bay Rays are lucky enough to not have a single member of their 40- man roster sitting in either of these categories in 2009. With Rocco Baldelli and Trever Miller being offered contract buy-outs before this period, the team is not responsible or can reap any advantages to them signing for another team. Cliff Floyd and Eric Hinske also are free and clear free agents able to talk and sign with any team in the MLB they desire, with no compensation for the Rays.
Most MLB players tend to wait until December 1st to get a realistic view of if their 2008 team does in fact, have them in the team's future by offering arbitration, or letting them go as free agents. There are many players' throughout the majors this off season who are waiting anxiously to get the positive or negative word on their current teams' desire for them for the upcoming season.
Some players like Chicago Cub's ex-closer, Kerry Wood could be offered arbitration, but the team will have to gamble that he will not accept it. Wood has already been replaced as the Cubs closer by former set-up guy, Carlos Marmol.
So the chess game will begin, and the Cubs would offer, but they will need a solid statement that Wood will want to go elsewhere in 2009. But some of these players come with baggage. Not injury or even a agent like Scott Boras, but a Type "A" or "B" designation that will give their old squad a type of draft rebate if they are signed by another club.
For some teams this rebate system has helped them in the past get an extra prospect or two who could help in the long run for their franchise. The Type "A" guys are pretty easy to find this off season, they are the guy that are being tossed around for examination by almost every competing club in baseball. They are the top tier free agents that have been drawing the most attention, and will command the most in return for their services.
I am going to take an example from the list of Type "B" arbitration eligible players to try and illustrate the process. The list of potential Type "B" guys include such field players as: Milton Bradley, Ivan Rodriguez, Gregg Zaun, Paul Lo Duca, Casey Blake, Ken Griffey Junior, Luis Gonzalez, Frank Thomas, Garrett Anderson, Mark Grudzielanek, Mark Loretta,Juan Uribe and Jeff Kent.
Not to outdone is the list of potential pitchers also eligible for arbitration: John Smoltz, Brad Penny, Jon Garlend, Randy Wolf, Paul Byrd, Alan Embree,Randy Johnson, Brian Shouse, Brendan Looper, Dave Weathers, Jason Isringhausen,Brandon Lyon, Arthur Rhodes, Joe Beimel, Denny Reyes, Rudy Seanez, Luis Ayala and Eric Gagne.
You might notice that I left 2 people off this list because it is generally thought that they will retire quietly before Spring Training in 2009. Former Mets outfielder Moises Alou and outstanding pitcher Greg Maddux are considered by many to take a bow out this off season and pursue other avenues in life.
Okay, for the sake of arguing, let me take one Type "A" Arbitration player to put him through a series of possible arbitration events to see what might happen starting tomorrow morning. I will select currently LA Angels first baseman Mark Teixiera as my example of an Type "A" candidates. He is one of the diamond being shined bright by his agents and fellow MLB teams as a cornerstone to a lineup and a star for years.
To start off, let's consider that the Angels do want to retain his services in 2009, they would start by offering him arbitration after the December 1st date. If Teixiera accepts the arbitration offer, he will get his 2009 salary determined by the arbitration process. He earned a salary of $ 12.5 million dollars for 2008, and had a typical year at the plate and in the field. This would result in a higher salary for 2009. Now, he can still sign with the Angels before his hearing and would be the property of the Angels for 2009, thus ending his other suitors' pursuit of him.
Typically, a team will sometime offer arbitration to a player thinking they might not even respond. This was not the case in 2002 when the Atlanta Braves tried to fake their interest in Gregg Maddux as a front for a trade. Maddux accepted their offer and went on to post a huge 2002 salary.
So with that in mind, if the Angels do not offer any arbitration to Teixiera, it he becomes a free agent with the Angels not getting any compensation for him. Players are considered for their status as "A" or "B" type arbitration candidates based on their statistics the prior 2 seasons.
Teixiera would fall into the "A" category based on his Plate Appearances, Batting Average, On-Base Percentage, Home Runs, Runs Batted In for all players in his position classification. Since he played mostly first base this year, his arbitration ranking will come from the final statistics of every player in the MLB who played first base in 2009.
If the Angels offer arbitration, but Teixiera would rather play somewhere else and decides to sign with another franchise, the Angels would receive 2 picks in the 2009 Amateur Draft in June for Teixiera's signing elsewhere. And so the chess match will begin on Monday as to the desires of the MLB's clubs and their players for 2009.
Okay, let's spell this completely out so there is no misunderstanding here. Let's say his old team, the Atlanta Braves want to get Teixiera back into a Braves' jersey for 2009. The Angels will then receive 1 draft pick from the Braves' 2009 Amateur Draft selection. Let's say they have the 22nd pick of the 2009 draft. The Angels would get that draft pick and also another additional pick as compensation for the Braves taking back Teixiera into their organization.
The Angels would also get another draft pick sandwiched between the first and second rounds if he was a Type "A" eligible candidate. The Angels can only get the First Round pick of the team signing Teixiera if it falls between pick number 16-30. If the Braves had one of the first 15 picks, they are protected and it can not be taken from them for arbitration supplemental picks.
If the Baltimore Orioles' decide to take Teixiera, they would not have to give up their high First Round draft pick to compensate the Angels for the Teixiera signing. Instead, the Angels would be rewarded the Orioles' second round pick and a "sandwich pick' between the first 2 rounds of the draft.
Now onto the second case in point. Let's say that the L A Dodgers offered current third baseman Casey Blake arbitration and he turned them down and signed somewhere else. The Dodgers would not get that team's First Round pick as compensation, but the Dodgers would get a supplemental pick between the first and second rounds. Also to be taken into consideration is the fact that the "losing" team can receive draft pick compensation without arbitration if their free agent is signed before December 1st.
If a player is not offered or even offered arbitration, the cycle of draft picks ends and the team will not receive any other compensation if he leaves his 2008 club for another team in 2009. I know all of this sounds confusing and might be better suited for an advanced Algebra class, but in the next few days we will be hearing these senario and phrase more and more.
I thought this might be a nice way to show the possible results of players switching clubs after the December 1st arbitration starting period. Hope this helps dissect the madness and makes the whole process seems bit easier to digest and understand……………So where is Teixiera going, and what will it cost the team signing him?

Welcome to the On3 Page. On3, what does this mean. "O" indicates we are modeling in O-scale which in North America is a ratio of 1 to 48 or 1:78 or 1 foot in the model equals 48 feet in the real world. O-scale trains run on 9mm track. Standard gauge track in the real world is 4ft 8.5 inches between the rails. The second letter, "n" indicates that instead of standard gauge we are modeling narrow gauge. This could be anything from 18 inches between the rails to 42 inches between the rails. "3" indicates that in fact we are modeling in O-scale railroads that ran on track which was 3 feet between the rails.

Anders Johan Lexell (24 December 1740 – 11 December 1784 (Julian calendar: November 30)) was a Finnish-Swedish astronomer, mathematician, and physicist who spent most of his life in Russia, where he is known as Andrei Ivanovich Leksel (Андрей Иванович Лексель).
Lexell made important discoveries in polygonometry and celestial mechanics; the latter led to a comet named in his honour. La Grande Encyclopédie states that he was the prominent mathematician of his time who contributed to spherical trigonometry with new and interesting solutions, which he took as a basis for his research of comet and planet motion. His name was given to a theorem of spherical triangles.
Lexell was one of the most prolific members of the Russian Academy of Sciences at that time, having published 66 papers in 16 years of his work there. A statement attributed to Leonhard Euler expresses high approval of Lexell's works: "Besides Lexell, such a paper could only be written by D'Alambert or me".[1] Daniel Bernoulli also praised his work, writing in a letter to Johann Euler "I like Lexell's works, they are profound and interesting, and the value of them is increased even more because of his modesty, which adorns great men".[2]
Lexell was unmarried, and kept up a close friendship with Leonhard Euler and his family. He witnessed Euler's death at his house and succeeded Euler to the chair of the mathematics department at the Russian Academy of Sciences, but died the following year. The asteroid 2004 Lexell is named in his honour, as is the lunar crater Lexell.
Early years[edit]
Anders Johan Lexell was born in Turku to Johan Lexell, a local administrative officer, and Madeleine-Catherine Björkegren. At the age of fourteen he enrolled at the University of Åbo and in 1760 received his Doctor of Philosophy degree with a dissertation "Aphorismi mathematico-physici" (academic advisor Jakob Gadolin). In 1763 Lexell moved to Uppsala and worked at Uppsala University as a mathematics lecturer. From 1766 he was a professor of mathematics at the Uppsala Nautical School.
St. Petersburg[edit]
In 1762, Catherine the Great ascended to the Russian throne and started the politics of enlightened absolutism. She was aware of the importance of science and ordered to offer Leonhard Euler to "state his conditions, as soon as he moves to St. Petersburg without delay".[3] Soon after his return to Russia, Euler suggested that the director of the Russian Academy of Science should invite mathematics professor Anders Johan Lexell to study mathematics and its application to astronomy, especially spherical geometry. The invitation by Euler and the preparations that were made at that time to observe the 1769 transit of Venus from eight locations in the vast Russian Empire made Lexell seek the opportunity to become a member of the St. Petersburg scientific community.
To be admitted to the Russian Academy of Sciences, Lexell in 1768 wrote a paper on integral calculus called "Methodus integrandi nonnulis aequationum exemplis illustrata". Euler was appointed to evaluate the paper and highly praised it, and Count Vladimir Orlov, director of the Russian Academy of Sciences, invited Lexell to the position of mathematics adjunct, which Lexell accepted. In the same year he received permission from the Swedish king to leave Sweden, and moved to St. Petersburg.
His first task was to become familiar with the astronomical instruments that would be used in the observations of the transit of Venus. He participated in observing the 1769 transit at St. Petersburg together with Christian Mayer, who was hired by the Academy to work at the observatory while the Russian astronomers went to other locations.
Lexell made a large contribution to Lunar theory and especially to determining the parallax of the Sun from the results of observations of the transit of Venus. He earned universal recognition and, in 1771, when the Russian Academy of Sciences affiliated new members, Lexell was admitted as an Astronomy academician. He was admitted to membership in the Academy of Stockholm and Academy of Uppsala in 1773 and 1774, and became a corresponding member of the Paris Royal Academy of Sciences.
Foreign trip[edit]
In 1775, the Swedish King appointed Lexell to a chair of the mathematics department at the University of Åbo with permission to stay at St. Petersburg for another three years to finish his work there; this permission was later prolonged for two more years. Hence, in 1780, Lexell was supposed to leave St. Petersburg and return to Sweden, which would have been a great loss for the Russian Academy of Sciences. Therefore Director Domashnev proposed that Lexell travel to Germany, England, and France and then to return to St. Petersburg via Sweden. Lexell made the trip and, to the Academy's pleasure, got a discharge from the Swedish King and returned to St. Petersburg in 1781, after more than a year of absence, very satisfied with his trip.
Sending academicians abroad was quite rare at that time (as opposed to the early years of the Russian Academy of Sciences), so Lexell willingly agreed to make the trip. He was instructed to write his itinerary, which without changes was signed by Domashnev. The aims were as follows: since Lexell would visit major observatories on his way, he should learn how they were built, note the number and types of scientific instruments used, and if he found something new and interesting he should buy the plans and design drawings. He should also learn everything about cartography and try to get new geographic, hydrographic, military, and mineralogic maps. He should also write letters to the Academy regularly to report interesting news on science, arts, and literature.[4]
Lexell departed St. Petersburg in late July 1780 on a sailing ship and via Swinemünde arrived in Berlin, where he stayed for a month and travelled to Potsdam, seeking in vain for an audience with King Frederick II. In September he left for Bavaria, visiting Leipzig, Göttingen, and Mannheim. In October he traveled to Straßbourg and then to Paris, where he spent the winter. In March 1781 he moved to London. In August he left London for Belgium, where he visited Flanders and Brabant, then moved to the Netherlands, visited The Hague, Amsterdam, and Saardam, and then returned to Germany in September. He visited Hamburg and then boarded a ship in Kiel to sail to Sweden; he spent three days in Kopenhagen on the way. In Sweden he spent time in his native city Åbo, and also visited Stockholm, Uppsala, and the Åland Islands. In early December 1781 Lexell returned to St. Petersburg, after having travelled for almost a year and a half.
There are 28 letters in the archive of the Academy that Lexell wrote during the trip to Johann Euler, while the official reports that Euler wrote to the Director of the Academy, Domashnev, were lost. However, unofficial letters to Johann Euler often contain detailed descriptions of places and people whom Lexell had met, and his impressions.[5]
Last years[edit]
Lexell became very attached to Leonhard Euler, who lost his sight in his last years but continued working using his elder son Johann Euler to read for him. Lexell helped Leonhard Euler greatly, especially in applying mathematics to physics and astronomy. He helped Euler to write calculations and prepare papers. On 18 September 1783, after a lunch with his family, during a conversation with Lexell about the newly discovered Uranus and its orbit, Euler felt sick. He died a few hours later.[3]
After Euler's passing, Academy Director, Princess Dashkova, appointed Lexell in 1783 to replace him. Lexell became a corresponding member of the Turin Royal Academy, and the London Board of Longitude put him on the list of scientists receiving its proceedings.
Lexell did not enjoy his position for long: he died on 30 November 1784.
Contribution to science[edit]
Lexell is mainly known for his works in astronomy and celestial mechanics, but he also worked in almost all areas of mathematics: algebra, differential calculus, integral calculus, geometry, analytic geometry, trigonometry, and continuum mechanics. Being a mathematician and working on the main problems of mathematics, he never missed the opportunity to look into specific problems in applied science, allowing for experimental proof of theory underlying the physical phenomenon. In 16 years of his work at the Russian Academy of Sciences, he published 62 works, and 4 more with coauthors, among whom are Leonhard Euler, Johann Euler, Wolfgang Ludwig Krafft, Stephan Rumovski, and Christian Mayer.[5]
Differential equations[edit]
When applying for a position at the Russian Academy of Sciences, Lexell submitted a paper called "Method of analysing some differential equations, illustrated with examples",[6] which was highly praised by Leonhard Euler in 1768. Lexell's method is as follows: for a given nonlinear differential equation (e.g. second order) we pick an intermediate integral—a first-order differential equation with undefined coefficients and exponents. After differentiating this intermediate integral we compare it with the original equation and get the equations for the coefficients and exponents of the intermediate integral. After we express the undetermined coefficients via the known coefficients we substitute them in the intermediate integral and get two particular solutions of the original equation. Subtracting one particular solution from another we get rid of the differentials and get a general solution, which we analyse at various values of constants. The method of reducing the order of the differential equation was known at that time, but in another form. Lexell's method was significant because it was applicable to a broad range of linear differential equations with constant coefficients that were important for physics applications. In the same year, Lexell published another article "On integrating the differential equation andny + ban-1dm-1ydx + can-2dm-2ydx2 + ... + rydxn = Xdxn"[7] presenting a general highly algorithmic method of solving higher order linear differential equations with constant coefficients.
Lexell also looked for criteria of integrability of differential equations. He tried to find criteria for the whole differential equations and also for separate differentials. In 1770 he derived a criterion for integrating differential function, proved it for any number of items, and found the integrability criteria for , , . His results agreed with those of Leonhard Euler but were more general and were derived without the means of calculus of variations. At Euler's request, in 1772 Lexell communicated these results to Lagrange[8] and Lambert.[9]
Concurrently with Euler, Lexell worked on expanding the integrating factor method to higher order differential equations. He developed the method of integrating differential equations with two or three variables by means of the integrating factor. He stated that his method could be expanded for the case of four variables: "The formulas will be more complicated, while the problems leading to such equations are rare in analysis".[10]
Also of interest is the integration of differential equations in Lexell's paper "On reducing integral formulas to rectification of ellipses and hyperbolae",[11] which discusses elliptic integrals and their classification, and in his paper "Integrating one differential formula with logarithms and circular functions",[12] which was reprinted in the transactions of the Swedish Academy of Sciences. He also integrated a few complicated differential equations in his papers on continuum mechanics, including a four-order partial differential equation in a paper about coiling a flexible plate to a circular ring.[13]
There is an unpublished Lexell paper in the archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences with the title "Methods of integration of some differential equations", in which a complete solution of the equation , now known as the Lagrange-d'Alembert equation, is presented.[14]
Polygonometry was a significant part of Lexell's work. He used the trigonometric approach using the advance in trigonometry made mainly by Euler and presented a general method of solving simple polygons in two articles "On solving rectilinear polygons".[15] Lexell discussed two separate groups of problems: the first had the polygon defined by its sides and angles, the second with its diagonals and angles between diagonals and sides. For the problems of the first group Lexell derived two general formulas giving equations allowing to solve a polygon with sides. Using these theorems he derived explicit formulas for triangles and tetragons and also gave formulas for pentagons, hexagons, and heptagons. He also presented a classification of problems for tetragons, pentagons, and hexagons. For the second group of problems, Lexell showed that their solutions can be reduced to a few general rules and presented a classification of these problems, solving the corresponding combinatorial problems. In the second article he applied his general method for specific tetragons and showed how to apply his method to a polygon with any number of sides, taking a pentagon as an example.
The successor of Lexell's trigonometric approach (as opposed to a coordinate approach) was Swiss mathematician L'Huilier. Both L'Huilier and Lexell emphasized the importance of polygonometry for theoretical and practical applications.
Celestial mechanics and astronomy[edit]
Lexell's first work at the Russian Academy of Sciences was to analyse data collected from the observation of the 1769 transit of Venus. He published four papers in "Novi Commentarii Academia Petropolitanae" and ended his work with a monograph on determining the parallax of the Sun, published in 1772.[16]
Lexell aided Euler in finishing his Lunar theory, and was credited as a co-author in Euler's 1772 "Theoria motuum Lunae".[17]
After that, Lexell spent most of his effort on comet astronomy (though his first paper on computing the orbit of a comet is dated 1770). In the next ten years he computed the orbits of all the newly discovered comets, among them the comet which Charles Messier discovered in 1770. Lexell computed its orbit, showed that the comet had had a much larger perihelion before the encounter with Jupiter in 1767 and predicted that after encountering Jupiter again in 1779 it would be altogether expelled from the inner Solar System. This comet was later named Lexell's Comet.
Lexell also was the first to compute the orbit of Uranus and to actually prove that it was a planet rather than a comet.[18] He made preliminary computations while travelling in Europe in 1781 based on Hershel's and Maskelyne's observations. Having returned to Russia, he computed the orbit more precisely based on new observations, but due to the long orbital period it was still not enough data to prove that the orbit was not parabolic. Lexell then found the record of a star observed in 1759 by Christian Mayer in Pisces that was neither in the Flamsteed catalogues nor in the sky by the time Bode sought it. Lexell presumed that it was an earlier sighting of the same astronomical object and using this data he calculated the exact orbit, which proved to be elliptical, and proved that the new object was actually a planet. In addition to calculating the parameters of the orbit Lexell also estimated the planet's size more precisely than his contemporaries using Mars that was in the vicinity of the new planet at that time. Lexell also noticed that the orbit of Uranus was being perturbed. He then stated that, based on his data on various comets, the size of the Solar system can be 100 A.U. or even more, and that it could be other planets there that perturb the orbit of Uranus (although the position of the eventual Neptune was not calculated until much later by Urbain Le Verrier).

Finance executives often struggle to understand how to fully leverage technology, typically staying more focused on business issues. CFOs clearly see technology as an enabler of better financial planning and analysis, yet they confess that in many cases their companies have not fully leveraged its capabilities. In our survey, nearly 40 percent say their current information systems cannot support analysis of financial and performance data well, and that the financial and performance information management being used for decision making is not as accurate as it could be.
"[In regard to keeping pace with changing technology], I don't know if it ever gets done. There's always something new."

The snow-covered streets of Avoriaz played host to the penultimate day of competition at the TTR 5(FIVE)STAR ONeill Pro Freestyle 2007 on Thursday, as two progressive City Sessions provided riders with the perfect excuse to get their jib on.
With a total of $5,000 up for grabs over the early afternoon and evening City Sessions, and with plenty of cheering spectators watching from the sidelines, riders wasted little time in throwing themselves down the jib lines in the hope of picking up some cash from the judges. A down box rail followed by a choice of up-rail, curved box rail or double-stacked trashcan jib kept things fresh from start to finish.
Stand-out riders over both Sessions included Norways Henning Marthinson and Fredrik Austbo dubbed Shredrik by MC Dave Mailman as well as Swiss Russian Iouri Podladtchikov and Finlands Peetu Piiroinen. So what kinds of tricks were being thrown down? Well, Norwegian Kim-Rune Hansen got the crowd pumped with a 270 on 450 off the up-rail, while crowd favorite Dimi de Jong was hucking 50-50 backflip-offs on the curved rail box. Stealing the show at the death of the 2nd Session, however, was the UKs Tyler Chorlton. With only a few minutes to go, Chorlton charged towards the stacked trashcan jib before front-flipping over the whole damn thing. His prize? The Best Trick award.
As for Fridays line-up, well its action packed to say the least. Semi-finals and finals for both the mens and womens Quarterpipe event are on the cards, so make sure you catch the LIVE WEBCAST from 3.30pm to see who walks away with the title.

New Year, New Plans
22 comments:
Love it! This really struck a chord with me. I too have been thinking about plans v resolutions. No doubt about it, the years that I have made plans, that's when stuff happens. I've also recently given up refined carbs and seriously cut down on sugar. Booze is my focus for this year. Look forward to hearing how you get on!
ReplyDeleteInteresting Mrs Hirons ;)
Like yourself, I am committed NOT to make NY's resolutions... HOWEVER I have made my PLANS and I am going to stick to them :) I made them simple enough to keep, yet effective enough to be worth doing!!
Now onto questions:
1) I have always taken my supplements in the morning, including the magnesium... had no idea it could make me sleepy (I am trying to combat excess fatigue!!!) Should I take that one in the evening, then?!?!
2) How much B12 do you take? I've been taking it, too... and so far: no flu as well :) coincidence x 2? ;)
HERE'S TO A HEALTHY AND TRULY New Year!
xx Raquel
@BeingRaquelSounds great! I'm thinking about starting to take supplements but don't really know how to decide what the right ones will be, but figured some probiotics and fishoil would probably be a good start... What did you start with? Making plans is great ( I even have a whole module at uni about goal setting and how to achieve goals at uni at the moment, and it's super interesting). Hope you achieve them :)
ReplyDeleteLove this! New Years is just not one of those things I'm into, but I have decided I am going to be a better adult this year. I desperately need a proper job, and would love to lode some weight for my sister's wedding, along with lots lf other things, so being a better adult should cover that :)

I am a size 9 as well! I cannot find nice shoes anywhere! please share if you have any good brand recommendation that do good larger sizes :) x
ReplyDeleteRepliesI popped by to find out what Caroline thought about zinc, but as a fellow size 9 I couldn't ignore this. There are LOADS of places for great shoes in a 9 now: DUO, Clarks (they are v good now), ASOS, New Look, Russell & Bromley, Topshop and so on, and most of the designers (Jimmy Choo, Charlotte Olympia etc) do styles in a 9. Don't suffer in boring shoes!

happy new year Caroline! I also battle with inflammation as I have ulcerative colitis. I have found that cutting out all grains and sugar made the biggest difference to both my condition and (unsurprisingly) to my skin. I find the whole grain version of things such as bread and pasta were the worse! I might copy your no-booze resolution; i could certainly do without it but always struggle when socializing and the wine/champagne is flowing x

You, as alwaya, are an inspiration caroline hirons! Health is a huge importance to me this year and like you I am not a big drinker at all, Ive even got to the point where I find it kind of pointless. However I was wondering how you dealt with friends and people who seem adamant that you should drink to join in?
On the supplements note, I have just stocked up on my lamberts fish oils :) Any more advice or information about inflammation would be brilliant.
Happy New Year everyone! Cutting down on booze isn't an issue for me. I can't stand the taste of wine (I know, my friends want me tested) and like you, I think spirits are over-rated. My big vice is Pepsi Max. I love the stuff and would drink it all the time if I could. I really need to cut down.
xI love your blog and really respect your opinions but I don't agree with cutting out all fizzy drinks, chocolate, crisps, dairy and white food. You need things in moderation! People I know ate a bar of chooclate everyday of their life and were happy and healthy and lived til well over 100! xxxx
ReplyDeleteI'm 28 and I'd been taking a multi plus other supplements since my late teens. But, I was shocked into change after reading this article in the Guardian 2 days ago. I highly suggest reading it. Just in case you don't, it explains how supplements are basically a con and the only ones that are really worth while are Calcium, D, Folic & Omega 3 Fatty Acids. Different countries have done many large, extensive studies over long periods of time, finding that women who take multivitamins die at rates higher than those who don't and for people in general, some vitamins increase the risk of cancer, heart disease and shortened lives.

Yep read this and felt rather smug to be honest as my husband finally saw that what I had been forcing him to take (Vit D and Fish Oil) for the longest time - actually worked. :)
I would say zinc and magnesium both work brillaintly for what they are supposed to do (hair/relaxation of muscles/body) as both were prescribed originally to me by Doctors - forward thinking ones obvs.
I never take a multi-vitamin and never recommend one - the B concent in them gives me acne. Vile! (Not the B12 obvs)
Thanks for commenting.
Hi Caroline!
What's your opinion on pro-biotics? I pretty much always have spots in fluctuating degrees of aggression around my mouth/chin/upper neck area. I take zinc, but unfortunately fish oil gives me terrible nausea. Could pro-biotics be worth a shot?
(You and your blog are amazing)
