* 1772 – Luke Howard, British meteorologist ( d. 1864 )

The phenomenon was first investigated and described by Luke Howard in the 1810s, although he was not the one to name the phenomenon.

A description of the very first report of the UHI by Luke Howard in the late 1810s said that the urban center of London was warmer at night than the surrounding countryside by 3. 7 ° F.

Luke Howard, a methodical observer with a strong grounding in the Latin language, used his background to categorize the various tropospheric cloud types and forms during December 1802.

In 1880, Philip Weilbach, secretary and librarian at the Art Academy in Copenhagen, and like Luke Howard, an amateur meteorologist, proposed and had accepted by the International Meteorological Committee ( IMC ) the designation of a new free-convective vertical genus type, cumulonimbus, which would be distinct from cumulus and nimbus and identifiable by its appearance and ability to produce thunder.

Luke Howard, who in 1802 devised the naming and classification of clouds and cloud formations still in popular use today, and who operated a business in pharmaceuticals in Plaistow from 1796 until 1803 when he moved the business to nearby Stratford.

In this habit he is known to have been influenced by the pioneering work of the meteorologist Luke Howard on the classification of clouds ; Constable's annotations of his own copy of Researches About Atmospheric Phaenomena by Thomas Forster show him to have been fully abreast of meteorological terminology.

It was here that Lilburne met Luke Howard, a Quaker whose serenity impressed him and began the process of his own conversion.

This nearly worked when Luke met Louise Howard ( played by Janet De Gore ), a widow with a young son, Greg ( played by Butch Patrick ).

There are numerous other important and active contributors including Luke Howard, Hallvard Furuseth, Quanah Gibson-Mount, and Gavin Henry.

In 1796 he and his brother Richard Phillips, together with William Allen and Luke Howard, took part in forming the Askesian Society.

British meteorologist Luke Howard was a major researcher within this field, establishing a cloud classification system.

Along with 74 others, the famous meteorologist Luke Howard joined the original 15 members of the Society at its first ordinary meeting on 7 May 1850.

John's father was Luke Howard.

This strengthened his ties with the eminent Humphry Davy, and in due course with his long-standing friend Luke Howard who was likewise elected to Fellowship of the Royal Society, though some years later.

There new ideas for research and experimentation could be discussed with others such as Luke Howard, Joseph Fox, William Hasledine Pepys, William Babington, and the surgeon Astley Cooper.

In 1797 Allen invited Luke Howard to formally collaborate with him at the Plough Court Pharmacy, the business then becoming known as Allen & Howard.

Luke Howard FRS ( 28 November 1772 – 21 March 1864 ) was a British manufacturing chemist and an amateur meteorologist with broad interests in science.

* Luke Howard Biography

" There be some standing here which shall not taste of death till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom " ( Matthew 16: 28 ) ( or, " until they see that the kingdom of God has come with power " ( Mark 9: 1 ); or, " till they see the kingdom of God " ( Luke 9: 27 ).

It is has been argued that Luke may be writing: a letter of apology ( traditionally a defense for one ’ s beliefs ), a letter of legitimation for Christian beliefs, a letter to equip the church to function amidst the Roman Empire, or a letter that is apolitical.

Esler, who advanced this legitimation view, has suggested that in Luke ’ s community there were Roman officials who were recent converts and they wanted to make sure that their new found faith could successfully coexist with their allegiance to the empire.

At any rate affairs in that region, including the future of the church of Ephesus ( 20: 28 – 30 ), are treated as though they would specially interest " Theophilus " and his circle ; also an early tradition has Luke die in the adjacent Bithynia.

Just before the geography of the scene shifts to a new location, Luke summarizes how the gospel has impacted that location.

: Luke 21. 20-21 ( ESV ) " But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near.

Colossians has some close parallels with the letter to Philemon — names of some of the same people ( e. g., Timothy, Aristarchus, Archippus, Mark, Epaphras, Luke, Onesimus, and Demas ) appear in both epistles.

The fragments given as the Commentary on Luke in the PG have been claimed to derive from the missing tenth book of the General Elementary Introduction ( see D. S. Wallace-Hadrill ); however, Aaron Johnson has argued that they cannot be associated with this work ( see “ The Tenth Book of Eusebius ’ General Elementary Introduction: A Critique of the Wallace-Hadrill Thesis ,” Journal of Theological Studies, 62. 1 ( 2011 ): 144-160 ).

In The Four Gospels: A Study of Origins ( 1924 ), Burnett Hillman Streeter argued that another source, referred to as L and also hypothetical, lies behind the material in Luke that has no parallel in Mark or Matthew.

For example, Mark has Jesus recruit his first disciples before he has performed any miracles, and Luke moves the recruitment scene to a point after Jesus ' first miracles.

The similarity in content has been described as such that " it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that Luke is dependent in some way, whether directly or indirectly, on this long lost text from Qumran ".

Traditionally Luke has been regarded as written by Luke the Evangelist some time between the " we " passages in Acts 16 onwards and the imprisonment of Paul in Rome in Acts 28, leading as with some modern scholars to argue for a date c. 60-65.

In biblical criticism, the prayer's absence in the Gospel of Mark together with its occurrence in Matthew and Luke has caused scholars who accept the two-source hypothesis ( against other document hypotheses ) to conclude that it is probably a logion original to Q.

The next earliest account of Luke is in the Anti-Marcionite Prologue to the Gospel of Luke, a document once thought to date to the 2nd century, but which has more recently been dated to the later 4th century.

The quote in the Letter of Paul to the Colossians differentiating between Luke and other colleagues " of the circumcision " has caused many to speculate that this indicates Luke was a Gentile.

On the purpose of Acts, New Testament Scholar Luke Timothy Johnson has noted that " Luke's account is selected and shaped to suit his apologetic interests, not in defiance of but in conformity to ancient standards of historiography.

Robert M. Grant has noted that although Luke saw himself within the historical tradition, his work contains a number of statistical improbabilities such as the sizable crowd addressed by Peter in Acts 4: 4.

He has also noted chronological difficulties whereby Luke " has Gamaliel refer to Theudas and Judas in the wrong order, and Theudas actually rebelled about a decade after Gamaliel spoke ( 5: 36-7 )'

The tradition that Luke painted icons of Mary and Jesus has been common, particularly in Eastern Orthodoxy.

The tradition also has support from the Saint Thomas Christians of India who claim to still have one of the Theotokos icons that St. Luke painted and which St. Thomas brought to India.
