Clocks Were The World's First Computers.

No the Abacus was not the original of modern computers. Clocks were. Just the layout of a clock with its measurement of periods of time was a computational device. Would work with sundials and water clocks not just mechanical rotary clocks. With a clock that sets any unit time period you can add time or subtract it . You can have 15 before 2 and 14 after 2. With a clock you can add subtract, multiply and divide. What is a half an hour? Computation is counting. As synthetic as time is so is mathematics.

Best Kept Secret Park in Lake Oswego

Best Kept Secret Park in Lake Oswego Great for Bike Riders, Walking and Running with Scenic River Views Lex Loeb Contributor Network . Lake Oswego does not like to advertise some of its best attractions for fear of attracting non-locals. The area has many interesting treasures almost no one from the Portland area bothers to explore. Lake Oswego has long had the cache' of an upper middle class white Anglo Saxon enclave that does not want the company of everyone from the Portland Metro Area coming in.

Along most of Old River drive the fro

Salmon Runs in the Columbia River system are being systematically ruined by the pseudo science ecologist/ environmentalists who are incharge.

If it was not for the pseudo science of ecology we could have infinitely more fish in northwest rivers and beyond. The environmentalists actually are the real cause of fish declines. The original numbers we have for salmon runs come form canning facilities along the Columbia river more than a century ago. Everything else they have to say about the fish is fabrication. The salmon had to climb cascades as difficult and worse than Willamette falls in Oregon city today. The Indian tribes controlled the salmon at these points of difficult uphill cascades passage in the gorge for several thousand years. The river was much more polluted than it is today when salmon runs were much larger. The Indian populations along the Columbia river were higher per square mile concentrated along the river than anywhere else in north America at the time in pre Columbian times. Beavers had everything dammed and were so numerous the river was fouled by Beaver feces and from the Indian populations alon
