Ed Garvey

Edward R. "Ed" Garvey (April 18, 1940 – February 22, 2017) was an American lawyer, politician and progressive activist.

Early life
Garvey was born in Burlington, Wisconsin. He studied at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Legal career
Garvey worked for the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA), the labor organization representing the professional American football players in the National Football League (NFL). In 1970 Garvey was assigned to counsel union president John Mackey regarding negotiations on a new four year contract with the league's owners. 

Garvey was later offered the position of executive director in the now-certified NFLPA in 1971.

Garvey served as its executive director until 1983, through two strikes (in 1974 and 1982) and invoking antitrust legislation in his many court battles with the league.

Garvey directed the NFLPA though a series of court battles that led, in 1975, to the ruling in Mackey v. NFL that antitrust laws applied to the NFL's restrictions on player movement. 

In 1976, armed with leverage regarding player movement from team to team, Garvey and the union won major concessions from the owners. Garvey's negotiations with the league exchanged the players' threat of pursuing a system of unfettered free agency for an improved package of player benefits.

Failed political career
In 1986, Garvey ran for the U.S. Senate from Wisconsin, losing to Republican incumbent Bob Kasten by a small margin In an unsuccessful bid for Wisconsin governor in 1998 against three-term incumbent Tommy G. Thompson, Garvey sought to highlight campaign finance reform and limited contributions to his campaign to a fixed amount per donor. Thompson won by a wide margin.

Death
Garvey died on February 22, 2017 at his lake home in Verona, Wisconsin, aged 76.

Acicular ferrite is a small and hard form of ferrite, one of the allotropes of iron. It has small, needle shaped structures in random positions, which is what makes it harder than ferrite.

Iron Act

The Iron Act was a law created by Great Britain in 1750 to make American Colonies import more Iron from Great Britain, and preventing the colonies from refining iron on their own. The Act of 1750 also prohibited the colonies from producing finished iron goods. The Iron Act was part of the policy of Mercantilism that favoured England in which materials from the colonies, in this case pig iron and iron bar, were used to make different products in England - finished goods had a higher value than the raw materials.

What the Act did
 America can no longer export pig iron or bar iron
 All exports of metal can only be shipped to Great Britain’s docks
 No mills may be created in America. All mills already there must be certified.

Implications
The act was officially repealed in 1867.

Many colonies produced iron but the Middle Colonies of Pennsylvania, Delaware, New York, and New Jersey are perhaps most strongly associated with this industry. However Virginia and then Maryland were the first colonies to export iron to England. In fact  the Maryland Legislature passed an “Act for the Encouragement of an Iron Manufacture within this Province” in 1719. Maryland and Virginia were the only colonies majorly affected. The act essentially stopped all creation of edged tools, nails, and tinplates. Great Britain had a history of creating acts designed to create more trade to England. This was one of the many acts that caused the American Revolution.

Between 1820 and 1930, about 4.5 million Irish people moved to the United States.

Where they lived 

Most Irish people who came to the United States during the 1800s lived in big cities where there were many other Irish people.  They did this so they could help and protect each other.  Many stayed near the ports where they arrived, like Boston, New York City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.  Many Irish people also lived in Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, and Baltimore.

Discrimination 
Most of the Irish immigrants who came to America in the 1800s were Catholic.  At that time, most of the United States was controlled by Protestants who were ethnically English, Anglo-Saxon, and Germanic.

Many Irish immigrants were treated badly.  For example: 
 Some places did not give jobs to Irish Americans
 Newspapers often described Irish people using stereotypes (for example, saying they were violent alcoholics)
 Many Americans believed that Irish people were racially inferior, not as smart as other Americans, and did not deserve to be true citizens

Some politicians spoke out against Irish people.  For example, in 1836, Benjamin Disraeli wrote:

In the mid-1950s, a political group called the Know-Nothing Movement tried to get Catholic politicians fired from their jobs.

Stereotypes about Irish Americans did not go away.  For example, President Richard Nixon once said:

Irish Americans today 
In 2013, about 33.3 million Americans - about one in every 10 - reported having some Irish ancestry.  This is about seven times the number of people who actually live in Ireland.

Allotropes of iron

Iron is the most often-used example of a metal with allotropes. These allotropes are α-iron, aka ferrite, γ-iron, aka austenite, and δ-iron, which doesn’t have another name. At higher temperatures, ε-iron exists, called hexaferrum. There is evidence for a fifth form, but it has not been proven to exist.

Delta Iron is Iron below 1538°C. Austenite is created when Iron cools further, to 1394°C.  Beta ferrite Iron is the term for Iron that’s paramagnetic.  Alpha Iron is all Iron below 912°C. Epsilon Iron is created above 10 GigaPascals and below 100°K.

Anthracite iron

Anthracite iron is iron smelted using anthracite coal, and is a form of pig iron. Anthracite Iron aided the industrial revolution by allowing iron production to skyrocket.

Creation of the Process
Charcoal prices rose so it was more expensive to create iron. So anthracite was used instead.

Eugene Garfield

Eugene Garfield (September 16, 1925 – February 26, 2017) was an American linguist and businessman, one of the founders of bibliometrics and scientometrics. Garfield's work led to the development of several Information Retrieval algorithms, like HITS and Pagerank.

Garfield was born in New York City. He studied at the University of Pennsylvania. Garfield died on February 26, 2017 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from a heart attack, aged 91.

Biography 
Garfield was born in 1925 in New York City as Eugene Eli Garfinkle, and was raised in a Lithuanian-Italian Jewish family.

He studied at the University of Colorado and University of California, Berkeley before getting a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry from Columbia University in 1949. Garfield also received a degree in Library Science from Columbia University in 1953.

Working as a laboratory assistant at Columbia University after his graduation, Garfield indexed all previously synthesized compounds so that not to remake them, which helped him understand that his inclination to information towards science was bigger than towards chemistry.

In 1951, he got a position at the Welch Medical Library at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, where most of the National Library of Medicine information systems were developed.

In 1956, Garfield founded the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), which was located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. ISI formed a major part of the science division of Thomson Reuters.

Personal life 
Garfield is survived by a wife, three sons, a daughter, a step-daughter, two granddaughters, and two great-grandchildren.

Data matrix

Data matrix is an invention of a two-dimensional barcode.

The coded information can be text or numbers. It is read by a bar code reader.

Error correction codes are often used to increase reliability. Even if one or more cells are damaged, the message can still be read. A data matrix symbol can store up to 2,335 alphanumeric characters.

Beta ferrite

Beta ferrite is ferrite that is paramegnetic instead of ferromagnetic, heated to a temperature of above 771°C.

β-Fe may refer to an unproven to exist fifth allotrope of iron, only produced once in Uppsala University. Iron was compressed to 35-40 GPa then heated to 1500°K and scanned. The result was never reproduced.

Bloomery

A bloomery is a type of furnace that was once widely used for smelting oxides. Bloomeries were the first smelters able to smelt iron. The result of using a bloomery is a mass of iron and slag called a bloom. This is called sponge iron, because it is porous like a sponge. Sponge iron is usually refined into wrought iron. Bloomeries are no longer used in smelting, because blast furnaces are better.

Process 
A bloomery consists of a chimney with heat-resistant walls made of earth, clay, or stone. Near the bottom, pipes (made of clay or metal) enter through the side walls. The pipes allow air to enter.

To use a bloomery, charcoal is inserted into the chimney, then heated. Then roughly the same volume of iron is inserted. A common product of this process is fayalite, which occurs when iron mixes with slag.

History 
Iron began to be used around 1200 BC.

China appeared to not use bloomeries, seemingly skipping to blast furnaces. However, bloomeries have been found in China, though these were likely only brought from other locations, and not built in China.

Bloomeries had been used in Sub-Saharan Africa before 500 BC.

European Bloomeries started very small, smelting about 1kg of iron with each use, but got larger over time, smelting about 14kg on average in the fourteenth century.

Bog iron

Bog iron is a form of iron found in swamps. Bog Iron is generally found in a spring.

Europe and the North 
Smelting bog iron has existed since pre-Roman times. Most iron smelted during the Viking era came from bog iron. In Russia, bog iron was the main source of iron until the sixteenth century.

North America 
Iron was produced by Vikings around 1000 AD.

Mining Bog Iron had been done in Virginia as early as 1608, and more bog iron has been mined in New Jersey and Maryland.
