In 1653, three men from, Richard Holbrook, Robert Williams and Daniel Whitehead, purchased a parcel of land from the Matinecock tribe.

In 1898, Whitehead purchased the newly invented gyroscope mechanism from Ludwig Obry, who was also a naval officer.

Several families took on the Hall and the Estate until 1929 when Mr John Whitehead purchased the estate and eventually established the largest apple orchard in England with over one million Cox's Orange Pippin trees, until they were dug up and burned as uneconomic in 1974.

According to the agreement, Mary Beth Whitehead would be inseminated with William Stern's sperm ( making her a traditional, as opposed to gestational, surrogate ), bring the pregnancy to term, and relinquish her parental rights in favor of William's wife, Elizabeth.

Stern was awarded custody, with Whitehead having visitation rights.

William " Bill " Stern and Mary Beth Whitehead entered into a " surrogacy contract ," according to which Mary Beth would be inseminated with Bill's sperm, bring the pregnancy to term, and relinquish her parental rights in favor of Bill's wife, Betsy.

A scandal eventually blew up over this sum, which was wildly extravagant in comparison to the £ 15, 000 paid for manufacturing rights to the Whitehead torpedo only 15 years previous.

John Thomas Lupton ( 1862 – 1933 ) was an American lawyer, industrialist and philanthropist who along with Benjamin Thomas and Joseph Whitehead, obtained exclusive rights from Asa Candler to bottle and sell Coca-Cola.

Despite liberal feminist opposition, Chesler defended the rights of the birth mother, Mary Beth Whitehead, who wanted to keep her child even though the genetic father and his wife were a more educated and higher income couple.

Returning to England in time to go up to Cambridge where he made friends and acquaintances who would become distinguished in their own rights: d ' Arcy Thompson, W. R Sorley, A. N Whitehead and William Bateson were among them.

They also include Agathe Whitehead ( his granddaughter ), who was the first wife of Georg Ludwig von Trapp, the patriarch of the Trapp Family Singers portrayed in the Sound of Music.

Sir James Whitehead was to become the British Ambassador to Austria, and his daughter Agathe was the first wife of Georg Ludwig von Trapp ; the story of their children and his second wife, Maria von Trapp was the basis of the musical The Sound of Music.

Whitehead prepared the chorus for performances of Johann Sebastian Bach's St Matthew Passion and Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 9.

Whitehead travelled in Malacca, North Borneo, Java, and Palawan between 1885 and 1888, where he collected a number of zoological specimens new to science, including Whitehead's Broadbill ( Calyptomena whiteheadi ), writing up his experiences in a book on his return.

Of Mark Antony De Wolfe Howe the philosopher Whitehead said the Earth's first visitors to Mars should be persons likely to make a good impression, and when he was asked, `` Whom would you send ''??

In the panentheistic model of process philosophy and theology the writers Alfred North Whitehead and Charles Hartshorne rejected that the universe was made of substance, instead reality is composed of living experiences ( occasions of experience ).

This approach was continued by Russell and Whitehead in their influential Principia Mathematica, first published 1910-1913, and with a revised second edition in 1927.

) A. N. Whitehead, while reading some of Peirce's unpublished manuscripts soon after arriving at Harvard in 1924, was struck by how Peirce had anticipated his own " process " thinking.

The principle was stated as a theorem of propositional logic by Russell and Whitehead in Principia Mathematica as:

The principle was stated as a theorem of propositional logic by Russell and Whitehead in Principia Mathematica as:

The need for a modified view of omnipotence was also articulated by Alfred North Whitehead in the early 20th century and expanded upon by the aforementioned philosopher Charles Hartshorne.

This project may have been ultimately defeasible, and afterwards Whitehead intuited that the entire venture was an organ of an overarching ontological mistake.

In psychology, the subject of imagination was again explored more extensively since Whitehead, and the question of feasibility or " eternal objects " of thought became central to the impaired theory of mind explorations that framed postmodern cognitive science.

The process, rather than the outcomes, seemed to drive his explicit behaviour and odd use of language, e. g., he called God the " Supreme Fascist ", echoing the role Whitehead assigned, as if the synthesis of Erdős and collaborators in seeking proofs, creating sense-datum for other mathematicians, was itself the expression of a divine will.

Narrated by Anton Lesser, with Geoffrey Whitehead as Death, Carl Prekopp as Mort, Clare Corbett as Ysabell and Alice Hart as Princess Keli, the programme was first broadcast in four parts in mid-2004 and has been repeated frequently, most recently on BBC7.

The first working prototype of the modern self-propelled torpedo was created by a commission placed by Giovanni Luppis (), an Austrian naval officer from Fiume ( now called Rijeka ), a port city of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy ( modern Croatia ), and Robert Whitehead, an English engineer who was the manager of a town factory.

Whitehead was unable to improve the machine substantially, since the clockwork motor, attached ropes, and surface attack mode all contributed to a slow and cumbersome weapon.

Maintaining proper depth was a major problem in the early days but Whitehead introduced his " secret " in 1868 which overcame this.

The largest Whitehead torpedo was in diameter and long, made of polished steel or phosphor-bronze, with a gun-cotton warhead.

Whitehead faced competition from the American Lieutenant Commander John A. Howell, whose own design, driven by flywheel, was simpler and cheaper.

The Howell torpedo was the only USN model until Whitehead torpedoes produced by Bliss and Williams ( later E W Bliss and Co ) entered service in 1894.

Therefore, for the first part of its history, the torpedo was guided only in the sense that its course could be regulated so as to achieve an intended impact depth ( because of the sine wave running path of the Whitehead, this was a hit or miss proposition, even when everything worked correctly ) and, through gyroscopes, a straight course.

Luppis knew Robert Whitehead, an English engineer who was the manager of a Fiume factory and in 1864 Luppis made a contract with him in order to perfect the invention.

The first boat designed to fire the self-propelled Whitehead torpedo was HMS Lightning, completed in 1877.

In 1911 a controlling interest was acquired in Whitehead and Company, the torpedo manufacturers.

Several weapons were tested until it was decided that the torpedos of Robert Whitehead were ideal for the job.

a term that quickly became so popular, so omnipresent, that its invention within living memory, and by Alfred North Whitehead of all people, quickly became occluded ".

Abelian groups satisfying this condition are sometimes called Whitehead groups, so Whitehead's problem asks: is every Whitehead group free?

Activision was resistant to this idea, so he and Whitehead left Activision in 1984 and together formed the game publisher Accolade.

When Whitehead neared the end of a field, the article said he turned off the motor and the aircraft landed " so lightly that Whitehead was not jarred in the least.

An online biography based on the O ' Dwyer and Randolph books asserts that the engine Whitehead purportedly used in Pittsburgh attracted the attention of Australian aeronautical pioneer, Lawrence Hargrave, who in 1889 invented a rotary engine: " This steam machine was so ingenious that several years later Lawrence Hargrave told of using miniature designs of " Weisskopf-style " steam machines, as well as the " Weisskopf System " for his model trials in Australia.

Reluctant to do so, Whitehead was inspired to slash the actual canvas with a knife.

Now take a second solid torus T < sub > 2 </ sub > inside T < sub > 1 </ sub > so that T < sub > 2 </ sub > and a tubular neighborhood of the meridian curve of T < sub > 1 </ sub > is a thickened Whitehead link.

At that time, pre-torpedo concern recommended battle ranges were about 1, 000 yards so it an be presumed that the mere presence of Whitehead torpedoes significantly changed Naval combat tactics.

In Eurogamer's February 2009 preview of Resident Evil 5, Dan Whitehead expressed concerns about the controversy the game may generate, stating that " it plays so blatantly into the old clichés of the dangerous ' dark continent ' and the primitive lust of its inhabitants that you'd swear the game was written in the 1920s " and " there are even more outrageous and outdated images to be found later in the game, stuff that I was honestly surprised to see in 2009.
