Image Woosleylouisa.jpg frame Louisa Woosley c. 1891 Louisa Mariah Layman Woosley March 24, 1862 &ndash June 30, 1952 was the first woman ordained as a minister in any Presbyterian denomination. In the entire Reformed tradition, only Antoinette Brown , a Congregationalist , can claim an earlier ordination 1853 . Antoinette s ordination, however, was never recognized by the Congregational denomination and Antoinette departed for the Unitarian Church . Louisa, on the other hand, was eventually recognized as a legitimate member of the Cumberland Presbyterian clergy and served in a variety of church offices for over 50 years. Woosley, a Cumberland Presbyterian from Kentucky , was ordained by Nolin Presbytery Kentucky Synod in that denomination on Tuesday, November 5, 1889. Although the constitution of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church did not exclude women from ordination, neither did it include them. A great controversy developed in various church judicatories over the legality of her ordination. Eventually, Kentucky Synod of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church instructed Nolin Presbytery to remove Louisa Woosley from their rolls. This the presbytery did by granting her the status of minister in transitu lettering her out in presbyterian terms to another presbytery. Clearly, although Nolin Presbytery complied with the instructions of the superior judicatory, they had denied their intent. In 1891, Louisa published her only book, Shall Woman Preach 1891 book Shall Woman Preach which explained and justified her position. Louisa Woosley, with the aid of various Kentucky presbyteries sympathetic to her cause, outlasted the synodic objection to her ordination. In 1906, the partial reunion of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church with the Presbyterian Church USA removed some of the most vocal opposition to the ordination of women. Although the official position of the denomination remained unchanged, clergy women were able to participate in all levels of polity without a great deal ... more details

Code The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software is a book by Charles Petzold , published in 1999. The book aims to be an introduction to the design and workings of computers and software with no prior knowledge required. The book intends to show a layman the basic mechanical principles of how computers work, instead of merely summarizing how the different parts relate. He starts with basic principles of language and logic and then demonstrates how they can be embodied by electrical circuits, and these principles give him an opening to describe in principle how computers work mechanically without requiring very much technical knowledge. Although it is not possible in a medium sized book for layman to describe the entire technical summary of a computer, he describes how and why it is possible that elaborate electronics can act in the ways computers do. In the introduction, he contrasts his own work with those books which include pictures of trains full of 1s and 0s.
