Newton's Apple Newton's Apple is an American educational television program produced and developed by KTCA of Minneapolis–Saint Paul, and distributed to PBS stations in the United States that ran from October 15, 1983, to January 3, 1998, with reruns continued until October 31, 1999.

"Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree (with Anyone Else but Me) ""Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree (With Anyone Else but Me)"" is a popular song that was made famous by Glenn Miller and by the Andrews Sisters during World War II. Its lyrics are the words of two young lovers who pledge their fidelity while one of them is away serving in the war. Originally titled ""Anywhere the Bluebird Goes"", the melody was written by Sam H. Stept as an updated version of the nineteenth-century English folk song ""Long, Long Ago"". Lew Brown and Charles Tobias wrote the lyrics"
"of 1666 that Newton's thoughts were directed to the subject of gravity. They are said to have been inspired by Newton's seeing an apple fall from a tree on his mother's farm, a version for which there is reasonable historical evidence. In one version of the story, the apple is supposed to have fallen on Newton's head; this version appears to have been invented by Isaac D'Israeli. Voltaire is the authority for the former version of the story. He had his information from Newton's favourite niece Catherine Barton, who married John Conduitt, a fellow of the Royal Society, and one"
"man sits on the stump. Jackson and Dell (1979) wrote an ""alternative version"" of the story for teaching purposes that was entitled ""The Other Giving Tree."" It featured two trees next to each other and a boy growing up. One tree acted like the one in ""The Giving Tree"", ending up as a stump, while the other tree stopped at giving the boy apples, and does not give the boy its branches or trunk. At the end of the story, the stump was sad that the old man chose to sit under the shade of the other tree. The Giving"
"under a tree across from the coffinmaker's shop, waiting to be called upon to assist at funerals. This brief story describes a few hours in the life of a low-class husband and wife in Taiwan, together with their gaggle of children. Their concerns range from day-to-day subsistence, how to snatch some brief moments of intimacy, and how to broach touchy subjects like birth control. For a native Taiwan man who has migrated with his family to the urban north of Taiwan, everything changes when he hits an American military officer. The apples the family eats in the hospital symbolize the"
"- some claim they are placed there by pixies, but it is known that the author Beatrice Chase was one person who did this, before her death in 1955. By 2007 the placing of flowers had expanded into all sorts of votive offerings: coins, candles, shells, small crosses and toys, for instance. Motorists, passing at night, claim to have glimpsed ghostly figures in their headlights, others report seeing a dark, hooded figure kneeling there. Jay's Grave was the inspiration for John Galsworthy's short story ""The Apple Tree"", written in 1916. In the 1970s, knowledge of the legend prompted Martin Turner"
"the Trail follows the cliffs to New Quay, passing close to Plas Llanina, where Dylan, “hoofed with seaweed, did a jig on the Llanina sands and barked at the far mackerel.” Under the waves lies a drowned cemetery which has been described as “the literal truth that inspired the imaginative and poetic truth” of Under Milk Wood. Plas Llanina was once the home of Lord Howard de Walden, who encouraged Dylan to write in the apple house in the garden. Next comes Majoda, the tiny bungalow where Dylan and family lived from September 1944 to July 1945. They were there"
"of inspiration for Voltaire were the years of his British exile, during which he had been strongly influenced by the works of Sir Isaac Newton. Voltaire strongly believed in Newton's theories; he performed experiments in optics at Cirey, and was one of the sources for the famous story of Newton and the apple falling from the tree, which he had learned from Newton's niece in London and first mentioned in his ""Letters"". In the fall of 1735, Voltaire was visited by Francesco Algarotti, who was preparing a book about Newton in Italian. Partly inspired by the visit, the Marquise translated"
"Jesus Christ the Apple Tree Jesus Christ the Apple Tree (also known as Apple Tree and, in its early publications, as Christ Compared to an Apple-tree) is a poem, possibly intended for use as a carol, written in the 18th century. It has been set to music by a number of composers, including Jeremiah Ingalls (1764–1838), Elizabeth Poston (1905–1987) and John Rutter. The first known publication, beginning The Tree of Life My Soul Hath Seen, was in London's ""Spiritual Magazine"" in September, 1761. This credits ""R.H."" as the submitter and presumed author. R.H. has been shown most likely to refer"
"Apple Tree Man In English folklore, the Apple Tree Man is the name given to the spirit of the oldest apple tree in an orchard, and in whom the fertility of the orchard is thought to reside. Tales about the Apple Tree Man were collected by the folklorist Ruth Tongue in the cider producing county of Somerset. In one story a man offers his last mug of mulled cider to the trees in his orchard on Christmas Eve (a reflection of the custom and ritual of apple wassailing). He is rewarded by the Apple Tree Man who reveals to him"

Thompson has been described as one of 20th century Canada's most influential poets. Periodically throughout his short life, Thompson suffered from severe mental disorders including depression, mania and paranoia.

The story was the inspiration for Raymond Smullyan's puzzle book by the same title, ""The Lady, or the Tiger?"". The first set of logic puzzles in the book had a similar scenario to the short story in which a king gives each prisoner a choice between"
"Charles spent hours of his young life sitting with Sally under her favorite apple tree while she sang spiritual Indian songs. These were the greatest times of Charles' childhood. He remembers many of her songs which have significantly influenced his musical style today. Sally passed away when Charles was still very young. Indians know, often better than others, that death is not the end of life but rather a new beginning. Still, to his young mind, existence was only the here and now. Charles had difficulties with comprehending his great-great-grandmothers' passing, feeling that she had simply vanished. As Charles grew"
"one lone tree is left standing. The couple in the house explain that the one tree was a special apple tree that they just didn’t have the heart to cut down. Swan wanders out to the tree, places her hands on it and is shocked to feel life still in the tree. It calls to her unique ability with plants, which has been neglected due to the lack of living plants in the world. She responds and ‘wakes’ the tree up.

The sequence was conceived by Gould who, after the 1992 Los Angeles riots, was ""somewhat obsessed"" with civil unrest issues.

The title of the song was the inspiration for columnist Lewis Grizzard's 1981 book, ""Don't Sit Under The Grits Tree With Anyone Else But Me"". In 2012, Broadway icon Carol Channing released a duet of the song with Country singer T. Graham Brown on her album ""True To The Red, White, and Blue"".

"that ""The Apple Tree"" was reprinted as ""The Birds and Other Stories"". In 2009, Irish playwright Conor McPherson adapted the story for the stage at Dublin's Gate Theatre. The author saw a man ploughing a field while seagulls were wheeling and diving above him and composed a story of these birds growing hostile and attacking. Inspired by her quiet, rural home town in Cornwall, the story is thought to be an allegory for the air attacks on London during World War II, in particular The Blitz. The story has been dramatised for radio and TV on several occasions, including: In"

In the 1890 edition of their book ""The Fruit and Fruit Trees of America"", the Downings wrote it off as a ""small, round, whitish yellow apple of little or no value, but admired by some for its singularity, the flesh being stained with red."" As a teenager in the 1870s, the horticulturist Liberty Hyde Bailey grafted Surprise onto a tree in his father's orchard in South Haven, Michigan, using scion wood that had come from Charles Downing. Years later, in his 1928 book ""The Garden Lover"", he wrote: I set those"

"were well received by critics. While several reviewers found that the authors succeeded in using accessible language, others found it too technical. Inspiration for the book came from a Douglas-fir tree with a curve in its trunk. While sitting by the tree, at his home on Quadra Island, near Vancouver, David Suzuki realized that even though his family had played on it for years, he did not know how old it was or how its uncharacteristic curve had developed. Suzuki, a science writer and broadcaster, and former zoologist, speculated that the soil might have slid when the tree was young"

This myth had hitherto been little represented: the artist who conceived the ensemble, as well as the sculptors, had a complete freedom. In the central space, the two gods (Athena on the left, West L, Poseidon on the right, West M) were perhaps separated by the olive tree of Athena or even the lightning of Zeus. The representation on this pediment of an intervention of Zeus in the quarrel could be"
"The Apple Tree The Apple Tree is a series of three musical playlets with music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, and a book by Bock and Harnick with contributions from Jerome Coopersmith. Each act has its own storyline, but all three are tied together by a common theme (someone who believes that they want something, but once they get what they wanted they realize that it wasn't what they wanted) and common references, such as references to the color brown. The first act is based on Mark Twain's ""The Diaries of Adam and Eve""; the second act is"

There are sealed traces of nails from the icon's riza (metal protective cover) on the margins, halos and around the cup.

In January 2009, Muir's widow told a similar version of the story to John Ross Robertson, who wrote a chapter on Muir in his book ""Landmarks of Toronto"".

"A Masque of Reason A Masque of Reason is a 1945 comedy written by Robert Frost. This short play purports to be the chapter 43 of the book of Job, which only has 42 chapters. Thus, Frost has written a concluding chapter in the form of the play. In this play Robert Frost, like John Milton in Paradise Lost, wants to justify God's ways to man. The image of Steeple Bush is apparent in describing the tree. Job and his wife are sitting out under a palm tree when a tree, called the Burning Bush or The Christmas Tree, enlightens"

Jocelin declares ""it's like the apple-tree!"", making a reference to the Garden of Eden and Humanity's first sin of temptation but also perhaps the pagan ideas that have been constantly threaded into Jocelin's mind as he spends more and more time up in the Spire, raised above the ground (and further away from his church and his role as God's voice on earth). Jocelin's degrading spine can be seen as a micro-macro analogy to the unstable spire. He believes the former manifests as the presence of his angel"
