- May 1, 2006My Com 105 and Comp 101 students are not prepared to
understand how these notions (informative vs
peruasive) can be similiar. They are learning the
basics of academic standards for expressing their
ideas, by utilizing research, and hopefully, with a
little technique.
After they are finished reporting or delivering
informative based speeches and essays, I takethe
liberty to explain the subtle (and it is subtler than
direct advocacy) persuasion thta underlies information
based assignments (the topic definition, sources and
supporting ideas selections over others, etc.)
But there is a huge difference in orientation between
making a policy speech in which you take a particular
stand and argue for a specific course of action, and
even presenting the information enclosed in a
policy..well there ought to be at least. Its up to us
to advance the "equal" time rule -even if the modern
media refuses to do so, and it is important to let
students experience the task of information gathering
an reporting with as little bias as possible or at
least with that bias qualified in the context ( I show
horses as a hobby and this is my speech on how to
In a partiuclar setting that topic would be
potentially debatable. But a COm 105 class is not that
place. Unless its being taught in an ag school where
everyone rides horses. THen the instructor neeeds to
intervene and make it a persuasive assignment.
I dont undertand the issue really. I mean why confuse
these students, to what end? Deliver information 1.
Arguea position 2.
Now what is important to do that Idont see being done
in the 4-5 school Iregularly teach at, is to debunk
the "infotainment" industry. These shouldbe used as
examples not of information sharing but as pure
Other areas for debunking (read making students aware
of) false information only would be anything that
comes out of FOX News shows like OReilly, who claims a
no spin zone by using only spin.
But then again these last to areas are in the realm of
persuasion, masking itself as information. I think if
I was going to try to forego the (pardon the words)
two step pedagogy in speech class, I would need to
exemplify how "information" is misused and altererd.
But then I'dbe teaching a class in persuasion or
jounralism or TV criticism, and not necessarily an
intro basic speech class.

HuffingtonPost Blogger Feed for James Dyson Good old fashioned elbow grease. Getting Women Into Engineering Is Vital tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2015:/theblog//3.7642848 2015-06-23T03:15:49-04:00 2015-06-24T06:59:01-04:00 James Dyson http://www.huffingtonpost.com/james-dyson/ At school and university women outperform men in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Indeed, the few who do become engineers enjoy it - 98% of women engineers find their job rewarding. Who wouldn't? It is therefore incomprehensible that 93% of parents would not support their daughters in pursuing a career in engineering. Actually it's not that surprising. My parents, classicists, were not engineering advocates. Nor was my careers advisor at school who having taken one look at me, and noting my enjoyment of the outdoors, suggested I become an estate agent. He could not have been more wrong - and thank god I didn't listen to him. We need to change young people's assumption of what an engineer is, or more accurately, their parents' assumptions, and excite them about the prospects. It is fulfilling and frustrating, in equal measure, and you can be confident your skills will always be in demand. Inspiring teachers and an inspiring curriculum are the catalyst to creating more engineers. Design and Technology lessons put Mathematics and Physics to practical use. Done well, it provides a window into the real world of engineering. Not oily rags and spanners, but a job in which you see the world's problems - and solve them. Unfortunately, so often D&T is viewed as the second best... but it is the food of future engineers. My charity, The James Dyson Foundation, works with five schools in Bath - we are reengineering D&T curriculum and getting industry grade equipment into the labs. No more key fobs and bookends - instead, students work in teams to prototype inventions which answer a brief, then iteratively test and redesign. It is real life engineering - a curriculum designed by real-world engineers. It shows what engineering is really like and the children are hooked. D&T teachers say the subject is more respected than ever, and engineers are seen as heroes. 150% more girls are choosing D&T at GCSE as a result. Include the boys, and we have doubled the potential number of engineers in the making. Food for thought as the government redesigns the D&T GCSE curriculum. Make it relevant and engaging - a perfect pipeline for future engineers. Changing perceptions and making it inspiring is a start, but there are other barriers to girls becoming engineers. At A-level only 20% of those studying Physics were girls, versus 55% in Biology and 50% for Chemistry. This is a problem: studying engineering at university requires Physics. Remove this barrier and the applications flow. The new Dyson School of Design Engineering at Imperial College London has attracted a cohort of 42% females for its four year course, by waiving the requirement for an A-level in Physics and introducing a hefty focus on design. That is three times the national average - University College London is doing a similar thing and achieving a similar result. The Physics still has to be learned, but learning by doing is the best way. They will be better engineers for it - and more importantly they have the opportunities to be engineers in the first place! Ultimately we need more engineers: male or female. But getting women into engineering is vital. It will not just alleviate the shortage, but could actually improve the engineering solutions that are developed. Rather than bemoaning the lack of engineers, let's celebrate our female role models and excite our children about the possibilities of a career in engineering. Britain's high technology companies need their brain power. Sir James Dyson is Chairman and Founder of Dyson Ltd. ]]> Invest in Engineers Now to Power Our Future tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2013:/theblog//3.4136603 2013-10-21T19:00:00-04:00 2014-01-23T18:58:21-05:00 James Dyson http://www.huffingtonpost.com/james-dyson/ The government this week signed an agreement which means our looming energy crisis will be solved by nuclear power stations built by the French and owned, in part, by the Chinese. This demonstrates the impact of Britain's skills shortage and our lack of ambition. To top it all, they have warned us that the dearth of hi-tech engineering skills in our economy may hold them back. The skills shortage is not a problem confined to the crucially important energy sector, it's systemic. We need more engineers and scientists. To compete internationally, companies, and more broadly economies, need to design, make, and sell things that people in other countries want. In other words, they need to export world-beating inventions, developing valuable intellectual property in the process. The Chancellor wants to increase exports to £1trillion by 2020. But how, when we are importing expertise and it is predicted that we will have a deficit of 200,000 engineers by 2015? We see the withering effects of the shortage on our doorstep. Dyson is looking for an extra 650 engineers to keep us ahead of the rest, fill our 25 year technology pipeline, and power our growth around the world. Trust me; it is a continual battle to find the brightest and best people - it is delaying our engineering teams, and holding back our ambitious plans. We are not alone, the UK's research intensive companies are also on the hunt - if they can't find the skills here, they will move elsewhere. David Willetts, Minister of State for Universities and Science, has recognised that there is a crisis and announced at the Conservative Party Conference a £200million fund for science and engineering capital projects at universities. This is a bold policy which shows the government is cottoning on to the urgency of the situation - it has the potential to make the study of the subject more appealing to the brightest minds. But it will not be enough on its own. The government must encourage more people to study engineering at all levels, but crucially incentivise them - financially - at university level. They must support our future engineers with generous bursaries to study the subject and reduced fees. They should remove the immigration cap for the brightest and best, and make a special science and engineering visa. The problem, is that we are fast approaching a point where 80% of postgraduate engineering positions at British universities are taken by students from outside the UK. Our peculiar visa system means that these bright engineers and scientists, given a world class education in our universities, can't stay here when they finish their studies. We are training them up, only to send them packing - to compete with us. It's madness. A recent report on inventiveness shows that France, Germany and Switzerland out-invent the UK in Europe. Not good for national morale, nor our exports (maybe the Germans, but surely not the French too!). But it's hardly a surprise when Britain produces only 12,000 graduate engineers from its universities each year - France produces nearly four times that number. You see, the French value their engineers. Engineers stand proud, are held in high esteem and encouraged by projects like nuclear power and high-speed rail - which start as national projects, but soon become some of their most successful exports. Nuclear power, to our cost, is a case in point. As a result there is a generation of young French students, gagging to study engineering at university. The fact that one can become an engineer without going into debt unsurprisingly helps too. It gets even scarier for Britain beyond Europe. India graduates 1.2million engineers a year. Iran and the Philippines each produce more engineers than the UK. In Singapore, 40% of all graduates are engineers. Why? Because the government incentivises them. The bait? Excellent prospects, some hard cash and encouragement from highly skilled (and paid) teachers. There are few more inspiring careers anyone could hope for. Singapore is sending its engineers underground to build revolutionary subterranean communities - expressways, universities and even an ammunition bunker - the world's first containerised facility designed within a heavily urbanized area, requiring 90% less sterilised land than above ground facilities. They are investing in high-technology and exporting it to the world. By comparison, Britain is tweaking around the edges. We need to be more ambitious and bold. So the Chancellor is right to want to boost our exports, but to do so we need to boost our expertise and put our faith in engineers. Invest in engineering and science degrees to help solve the graduate deficit and stop the madness of sending highly trained foreign expertise home. Let's talk about the issues on infrastructure and ensure that in the future it is UK firms that build our nuclear power stations, design our trains, and export the technology of the future.]]> London Olympics: Function and Form tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2012:/theblog//3.1709921 2012-07-27T19:00:00-04:00 2012-09-26T05:12:33-04:00 James Dyson http://www.huffingtonpost.com/james-dyson/ Does it match the grandeur of China's famous Bird's nest stadium? Perhaps not. But beneath its veneer there's arguably a more impressive piece of structural engineering. Steeply banked tracks mirror the natural lean of a bicycle as it winds a turn, maximising speed and efficiency. The roof, meanwhile, is made of 10 miles of cable netting, making it half the weight of Beijing's. A giant oval-shaped metaphor of function over form. And testament to my personal notion that engineers create their best work against the odds. For the two weeks of the Olympics, London will be the most watched city in the world, seen by over a billion people. More than just an event for sporting achievement, the games are, for two weeks, a projection of London. But a look at the legacy of past games offers a cautionary tale that hosting the Olympics needs to be seen not just as a short-term event but a long-term investment. With nearly $40 billion invested in infrastructure alone, Beijing gave true meaning to the Olympic motto Citius, Altius, Fortius, a Latin expression meaning "Faster, Higher, Stronger." China's first foray as a global host in 2008 was designed to create a sense of awe. From spectacular venues and grandiose ceremonies to the home team's dominance of the medal table, the Games announced China's growing influence as an economic and political power. Economic uncertainty demands Britain be creative and nimble in its vision. If China was the Olympics' golden darling, Britain is the austerity Olympics. The elaborate games in Beijing reflected a booming economy -- exports had grown a whopping 22%. The UK has taken a more modest approach: a reflection of a sobering market and steep cuts in government spending. But it wouldn't be the first time that budgetary circumstances have galvanised engineers and architects to produce stunning work. In 1873 Chicago faced a similar challenge. It followed Paris' popular and prosperous World's Fair -- which saw the debut of the Eiffel Tower. Chicago was in the midst of a depression and had little time to prepare. Daniel Burnham, the architect spearheading the Fair's design, challenged America's civil engineers to be bold. Temporary but complex buildings were created to shave costs and street lights were introduced to make them usable at night for the first time. Beyond its buildings, the Chicago Fair inspired a golden age of invention: from Ford's motor car to the dishwasher. Thriftiness can also spark resourcefulness and engineering ingenuity. Engineers are nothing if not problem solvers. In 1948, Britain hosted the first post-WWII Olympic Games. With no money for stadiums, the main venue, Wembley stadium -- still used today for concerts and sporting events -- was a converted dog track. It might have been meager, but it was one of the most profitable Olympics. London has taken the same tack in 2012: using the games to revitalise the city's decaying east end. Rather than a one-off celebration, the city sought to balance remarkable design while considering future use. While Beijing's historic sites and public transport have vastly improved following the games, many of the 37 custom built Olympic venues languish. The Bird's Nest Building is little-used, aside from the occasional ping-pong tournament. It will take three decades to recoup the $480 million it cost. The Water Cube, where Michael Phelps picked up six gold medals, now hosts perfume and rice wine sellers rather than swimmers. London has taken a less-is-more approach. Just five buildings will remain in London after the games. This presented several design challenges for architects and engineers. Permanent facilities blend into the surrounding parkland while temporary venues are constructed of removable and reusable materials. London's Aquatics Centre was purposefully built to have just 3,500 permanent seats -- down from 20,000 -- following the games. The Olympic Village will find a second life as a new housing and commercial area. And the Olympic park will be London's biggest new green space since Victorian times. Today, Athen's Olympic park is a ghost town: a symbol of excess as Greece grapples with its debt crisis. Barcelona has seen its football club move out, leaving a monument of a stadium without a permanent resident. Atlanta, the Olympic host in 1996, might be the only recent exception. Although marred by transport and construction problems its legacy prevails. Its two arenas are now home to professional sports teams. The Olympic Village has been converted into university dormitories and its Olympic Park has helped bring development and people to downtown. I'm proud of London's ambition despite the economic situation; the engineering equivalent of a stiff upper lip. Rather than comparisons to the grandeur of China's games, London's will showcase reuse and leave behind new opportunities, not empty stadiums. This will be a testament to the planners and the engineers and their designs. James Dyson is an engineer and founder of Dyson.]]> Quels sont les vrais défis des Jeux Olympiques? tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2012:/theblog//3.1694108 2012-07-24T00:00:20-04:00 2012-09-22T05:12:05-04:00 James Dyson http://www.huffingtonpost.com/james-dyson/ Roland Garros d'un côté, Wimbledon de l'autre, le Tour de France aujourd'hui, les JO de Londres dans quelques jours... Ces événements sont l'occasion de souligner l'influence que le sport peut avoir tant sur notre quotidien que sur nos économies. Et la stimulation qu'il peut exercer sur la R&D. Autant d'opportunités pour faire preuve d'imagination et renforcer notre volonté d'innover en période d'austérité et de crise. Une opportunité de faire rayonner, à l'international, nos designers et ingénieurs. Le sport nous a récemment offert de vraies perles d'invention. Prenons par exemple le vélodrome construit pour les Jeux Olympiques de Londres. Bien qu'il soit d'apparence plus humble que le fameux "Nid d'oiseau" pékinois, cette œuvre est une prouesse en matière d'ingénierie. Conçu pour laisser entrer la lumière du jour au maximum, il permet ainsi d'utiliser le moins possible d'éclairage artificiel. Une jolie réflexion pour réunir l'architecture aux économies d'énergie. Le sport s'est aussi montré à l'avant-garde en recherche de matériaux. Van Phillips et Dale Abildskov n'ont-ils pas créé pour Oscar Pistorius des jambes en fibre de carbone, à la fois solides et élastiques, lui permettant de se confronter aux valides dans le relais 4x400m? Citons enfin l'Osymétric, une invention française révélée par le Tour de France au profit d'une équipe anglaise (comme quoi, nous savons aussi parfois nous entendre). Ce pédalier asymétrique optimise les forces pour propulser le vélo. Il permet de gagner 10% de puissance, 1 à 2% de vitesse, et on peut imaginer l'application qui pourrait en être faite dans l'industrie automobile ou aéronautique. Preuve en est que le sport n'est donc pas qu'une affaire de dépassement physique. Il est aussi à l'origine de dépassements techniques et technologiques. Surtout dans un contexte de crise économique où les budgets sont restreints: les meilleures trouvailles peuvent aussi naître des contraintes les plus fortes. Et les grands événements internationaux d'offrir de vraies opportunités économiques s'ils sont conduits à bon escient. En 1893, lors de l'exposition universelle, Chicago alors en pleine récession n'a eu que peu de temps pour se préparer à cet événement. L'architecte Daniel Burnham a donc demandé aux ingénieurs des travaux publics d'être audacieux. Ils ont réussi l'exploit de construire des bâtiments éphémères qui ont facilement pu être démontés par la suite, ce qui a permis de réduire les coûts de construction. Lors des Jeux Olympiques de 1948 en Angleterre, aucun stade n'a pu être construit pour l'occasion. Il a donc fallu utiliser des structures existantes et les réaménager. Wembley, jusqu'alors un cynodrome, a été réaménagé pour devenir le stade principal. Des réflexions d'ingénierie qui ont permis de relancer nos économies et passer de la rigueur au redressement productif. Londres a suivi le même chemin pour 2012: se servir des Jeux Olympiques pour relancer des quartiers laissés à l'abandon, à l'est de la ville. Le défi relevé par les ingénieurs et les architectes a été de construire des infrastructures pour l'occasion, qui seront réutilisées par la suite. Le centre aquatique de Londres a été construit avec 3500 places permanentes, et aura 20.000 places pendant les Jeux. Le village olympique trouvera une seconde vie puisqu'il sera reconverti en logements. Enfin, le Parc olympique permettra de créer un nouvel espace vert dans la capitale, le plus important depuis l'époque victorienne. Ainsi, en plus d'être une célébration, cet événement permet à la ville d'investir sur le long terme. Certes le coût des jeux a triplé en raison des travaux effectués, avec un budget qui atteint aujourd'hui plus de 10 milliards d'euros. Toutefois, David Cameron a estimé leur impact économique à plus de 16 milliards d'euros sur les quatre prochaines années notamment grâce aux investissements étrangers, à l'augmentation du tourisme et aux nouvelles opportunités économiques. Les ministres ont d'ailleurs pour objectif affiché d'utiliser cette occasion pour offrir une visibilité internationale au talent des ingénieurs et ainsi remporter d'importants contrats pour aider à relancer le pays en cette période d'austérité. Une belle réussite semblable à celle d'Atlanta, hôte en 1996, dont le village olympique a été converti en université, et le parc olympique a permis de redynamiser le sud de la ville. C'est cet exemple que nous voulons suivre. En lieu et place de stades vides et éphémères comme à Pékin, nous voulons profiter des Jeux Olympiques pour créer de nouvelles opportunités économiques durables, notamment grâce à une réhabilitation massive de l'est de Londres. Mal appréhendés, les jeux peuvent rapidement se transformer en gouffre financier. Mais s'ils conjuguent pragmatisme et vision à long-terme, alors peut-on espérer le signe d'un renouveau.]]> A Sub-Standard Solution tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2012:/theblog//3.1616229 2012-06-21T18:01:54-04:00 2012-08-21T05:12:05-04:00 James Dyson http://www.huffingtonpost.com/james-dyson/ The education system is the exception. While the U.S.'s university system was recently ranked the best in the world, there is a growing chasm between primary school and university. In fact, Americans' faith in the public school system is at an all time low. The U.S. employs essentially the same education system as it has for the past 150 years. The factory-model classroom was designed to prepare students for work in a growing industrial society. Standardized testing compounds the issue. The system mandates that there is a right or wrong answer to a problem -- ignoring the multitude of possibilities in between. In the standardized system, all subjects are not created equal. Science and engineering get short shrift over reading and math. The 2011 National Assessment of Educational Progress (an exam administered by the US Department of Education) showed that just 32% of students tested above proficient in science. The consequences of this shortfall are far-reaching. U.S. manufacturers blame their 600,000 unfilled positions on the lack of qualified workers. It is not demand for products that is hindering private companies -- more than half say they are stifled by the skills gap. The situation is similar in the UK, too. It is a complex issue that requires a creative solution where we encourage students to be both practically and mentally dexterous. New ideas are not born out of read and repeat. Practical learning gives context to what -- on paper -- can appear as difficult scientific principles. Geometry and physics, for example, come to life when students build elastic powered cardboard drag racers. I've seen this in the UK, where design and technology -- which teaches a wide range of practical, technical and creative skills -- is part of the national curriculum. My Foundation is introducing many of these concepts to the U.S., challenging young students in Chicago to build prototypes in engineering workshops. At first it's alien -- it is the first time that many students have been given the opportunity to problem solve practically and build something. For all we know, it is the first time they've been encouraged to fail. As an inventor, I've made more mistakes than I care to mention. Without fail (forgive me), success is the last step in a series of cock-ups. To me, that is the greatest missed opportunity in education. I'd go as far to say we should award marks for good mistakes. Success may satisfy, but failure drives a hunger. It teaches you to improve. But, standardization breeds a risk-averse society: memorize the answers and avoid failure at any cost. Depressing, and not exactly conducive to the next big idea. Scientific and technological revolutions result from breaking the status-quo, not box-ticking. I once saw a team of students take on a design flaw with bunk beds: how to easily get to the top bunk. Their first iteration was a flop -- they realized their idea to make an adjustable bed would wind up crushing the sleeper on the bottom bunk. A rethink was needed! So they redesigned the bottom bunk to adjust simultaneously --it was pulled to the side, as the top bunk was lowered down. The improvement gave the top sleeper easy access and left the bottom sleeper safe and his slumber undisturbed. There is a shift occurring. Many organizations, schools and states are now thinking that hands-on is better than pencils down and finding new ways to buck the system. Students at Standford's Institute for Design, for example, are launching a Kickstarter-funded SparkTruck to bring practical engineering workshops to students through a mobile tour. Other organizations, like the Cooper Hewitt Museum and FIRST Robotics are bringing design and engineering activities into the classroom. In Minnesota, the state department of education mandated that engineering education be included in the curriculum. Even further, teachers are integrating practical lab activities based in scientific inquiry and engineering design. Even in learning-by-doing, there are milestones students must achieve -- performance is still measured. For example, a fourth-grader must identify and explore a design item that solves an everyday problem. Proficiency isn't measured with a letter grade, it's gained through experience. Other states are just saying no to standardized tests, with school boards in Texas and Florida working to scale back testing. And, in Washington, over 500 children boycotted the state-instituted tests in protest. Still, Florida spent nearly $60 million simply to administer standardized tests. States should spend money to get students making things, not ticking boxes. Bold action and support is needed to take on the antiquated system. Traditional education encourages traditional students. But children can be extraordinary if they are allowed to express themselves and make mistakes. By changing tests to experiments and encouraging thinking not repeating, there can be a revolution in American education where learning is not about the answers, but discovery. It's long overdue.]]> In Support of the Start-up tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2012:/theblog//3.1375108 2012-03-25T19:00:00-04:00 2012-05-25T05:12:02-04:00 James Dyson http://www.huffingtonpost.com/james-dyson/ "You'll never sell a vacuum cleaner without a bag." "This project is dead from the neck up." A heap of nos and nevers as I pitched my newly designed vacuum to old-fashioned industry execs. I wish I could say my story was unusual. Many inventors, small business owners and entrepreneurs start with an idea and fight to keep it alive. And the biggest fight is funding. For much of the West, weakened economies, regulatory red tape, and bureaucratic bickering has hindered job growth. This has come at the expense of the small business owner. Perhaps the biggest missed opportunity. Small businesses are the backbone of the US economy. As America's largest employer, they represent 53% of US workers. But, little has been done to nurture this low hanging fruit. In fact, the US has seen a 23% decline in small-business startups in the past few years. It must become easier for small business owners to hire, invest and expand. Legislation has just been passed by the US Congress that will help jumpstart small businesses. The JOBS Act contains a series of measures designed to make capital more readily available to small businesses. As I know well, a startup will stall without the funds needed to invest and grow. My company wouldn't exist without a sizeable loan. More accurately, a local bank manager who took up my cause. I was £600,000 in debt before my idea became real. Twenty years on from that chorus of nos and we're up to 3,600 jobs. New technology is fuelled by new minds. We brought on 200 engineers in the UK last year and we're looking to add another 200 in 2012. Add that to ambitious recruitment plans around the world, including the US. Other British companies are following a similar pattern, and the UK is adding jobs at the fastest pace since June 2011. Job growth is off to a similar clip in the US, and the legislation would help level the playing field for small businesses. By making it easier for small businesses to do business, they'll hire more workers, grow more quickly, and ultimately help strengthen the economy. Addressing the opportunity for small business growth is a step in the right direction, but it can't be the only fix. With only regulatory reform, we risk businesses stock piling capital for a rainy day, rather than investing in the research and development that will drive the economy forward. In the UK, I've advocated for R&D tax credits to help ease the financial burden felt by many startups. And it's working. Small businesses often operate at a loss for the first few years. Tax credits allow these small businesses to make investments in workers, infrastructure or equipment - the freedom to build new ideas along with bottom line. These aren't tax breaks, they're not loans or grants. Companies must commit their own resources to projects that support research and development, and that still involves a healthy level of risk. Companies that invest in R&D drive economic growth with the most valuable commodity - intellectual property. Without financial incentives, US startups will seek support abroad. An electric vehicle startup, Bright Automotive, had plans to create 300 manufacturing jobs in the US. Blaming bureaucratic hold-ups, it withdrew its loan application to the Department of Energy's Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing program. Instead, the maker of a plug-in electric vehicle says it may develop its technology in China. Losing homegrown invention to foreign investors is a real threat. Worse still, a startup fails altogether, and the promise of new technology along with it. The JOBS Act will drive investment in small businesses, which in turn will spur new ideas.]]> The Award For Engineering Goes To... tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2012:/theblog//3.1300145 2012-02-24T19:00:00-05:00 2012-05-04T09:10:01-04:00 James Dyson http://www.huffingtonpost.com/james-dyson/ You have to be realistic. Amid the hype and intrigue of ceremonies like the Oscars, a regional Science Bowl doesn't grab headlines. I'd be a curmudgeon to deny talented artists recognition, or global audience shows like the Oscars or the Grammys. The problem is that by focusing so exclusively on celebrating the popular arts we deprive society, and more importantly children, of other people to look up to. No wonder many children's role models are, well, models. The US now graduates more visual and performing arts majors than engineers. The same is true in the UK, where a recent survey found that while 4% of teenage girls want to become engineers and 14% scientists, 32% wanted to be models. But can we blame youngsters for wanting to be pro-athletes and actors when the media fixates on celebrity on a daily basis? Natalie Portman, who took home best actress Oscar last year, has more than acting prowess to distinguish herself: she was once a semifinalist in the Intel Science Talent Search competition for her research on an environmentally friendly method of converting waste into energy. Of course, the former achievement scored more highly in the publicity stakes. President Obama has spoken about treating science fair winners the like Super Bowl Champions. Unlikely, but what steps can be taken to at least partly fulfill the rhetoric? There's a real opportunity here. Young people are clued up on contemporary issues that need to be fixed, from climate change to food shortages. But, despite the fact that toddlers can grasp the basics of a smartphone, not enough of them aspire to become the people that can solve them: scientists and engineers. In part, this is because of a lack of association between the technology we use - computers, cars and cell phones - and the people who develop and invent them. Because we just don't celebrate them. This lack of cultural awareness is a problem. Fewer Americans and Brits choose to study science and engineering. Engineers and inventors are lionized in US. The problem is that the ones we celebrate are often a hundred years dead. There are television shows that are trying to change perceptions: PBS's Everyday Edisons and the Science Channels How it's Made on the Discovery Channel for example. But these are the exceptions. It's not just down to the media. It's up to politicians and companies to help change these perceptions and fly the flag for invention. China gets this one right. Science and engineering are increasingly ingrained in Chinese culture - so much so that most members of the Chinese Government have engineering degrees. The evidence of this mindset can be seen in thousands of high-profile Chinese infrastructure projects. We need to help educate people on engineering and manufacturing - shaking off the outdated dreary image of factory and monotonous lab work. Today's factories aren't Dickensian work houses. They're high tech and exciting. I was warned that if I failed my exams that I'd end up in a factory. As it happens I did, and I enjoy it immensely. Our factory has a microbiology lab with a dust mite zoo, robotic testers, an electro-magnetic chamber and 3D printers, among other things. And I get to develop ideas with 600 like minded engineers and problem solvers every day. Engineers and scientists are not nerds but creative polymaths who think with their hands and their heads. Inspirational individuals to be respected, not mocked. Let's give them a soap box for the 21st century. Talking up science and engineering won't solve the manufacturing malaise. But it's a good, and cheap, start. Many of the 14% of UK girls who wanted to be scientists were specifically interested in becoming forensic scientists. Why? Because of programs like CSI beamed to millions worldwide. Television can do a lot to help raise the profile of scientists and engineers. The media and politicians can too. Rather than dwelling on the delayed Dreamliner, let's applaud the latest MIT breakthrough. Let's celebrate our everyday Edisons and put them on the silver screen, during prime time. James Dyson is the inventor of the Dyson vacuum cleaner. His Foundation runs the James Dyson Award - a global competition for student inventors and designers: http://www.jamesdysonaward.org/]]> Inspired Design: Young Inventors Solve Old Problems in New Ways tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2012:/theblog//3.1269510 2012-02-14T19:40:04-05:00 2012-05-04T09:12:58-04:00 James Dyson http://www.huffingtonpost.com/james-dyson/ Sure, the terrain might be a solar panel or a circuit board, but these can be as lofty and as perilous as a mountain range. Engineers and inventors see the world differently. They want to change it, to make it better. They see what lies ahead, not only what has come before. They toss aside convention, almost stubbornly so. My foundation adopts the same principles. We run a competition that invites university students to design something that solves a problem. Be clever. Be brave. And don't be afraid to think well off the grid. Being original is difficult in a day and age where so much has already come before. But often simple observations can inspire leaps in understanding. In designing a vacuum that didn't choke on dust, I looked to a sawmill. I saw centrifugal force being used to separate dirt and wondered - could the same principle be used on a smaller scale? This was the very moment that set me on a journey to reinvent the vacuum cleaner. Success in the James Dyson Award is often as a result of this same thought process. Last year's winner addressed the issue of irrigating crops in arid climates. Irrigation practices have been around for thousands of years. They've surely been honed, but still rely upon a principally inefficient delivery system. Edward Linacre had an idea. Recognizing that life existed in dry climates despite a startling lack of water, he examined how that life was able to sustain itself. In a question about crop irrigation, he looked to evolution for an answer. He looked to a beetle. The Namib beetle is an ingenious species, living in one of the driest places on earth. With half an inch of rain per year, the beetle survives by drinking the dew it collects on the hydrophilic skin of its back in the early mornings. Edward made the link. He recognized that even the driest air contains water molecules which can be extracted by lowering the air's temperature to the point of condensation. His invention, AirDrop, pumps air through a network of underground pipes, to cool it to the point at which the water condenses. Delivering water directly to the roots of plants. Inspiration needn't be as far removed as a beetle. Existing technology often inspires new technology. A researcher with the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology was using a smartphone that contained a proximity sensor to turn the display off and on. He wondered if the same technology could be applied to headphones to help them work better. By adding a proximity sensor in the ear bud, his invention detects the angle in which it is placed in the ear, sensing if it is on the right or left side. Audio levels are adjusted accordingly to ensure the best sound is produced. Ultimately a very simple application of an existing technology - but an ingenious one nonetheless. Brilliant thinking doesn't always result in success. Recently, a young inventor, Aiden Dwyer, shook up the scientific world with a radically new look at solar power. While out walking one day, he became fascinated about why the leaves on trees tangle in a seemingly random way. Through research he found that trees grow their leaves in a pattern laid out by the Fibonacci Sequence. The leaves on trees are designed to capture energy from the sun. Inspired by his discovery, Aiden suggested that solar panels arranged like the leaves on trees might be a more efficient way of capturing solar energy. He built a model and tested it in his back yard. Initially praised for his idea, he was soon denounced by critics who said it just wouldn't work. Perhaps not, but that's beside the point. Aiden didn't look to solar panels to solve the problems of solar panels. He was inventive enough to harness the design of nature in a completely novel application. Not yet of age for the Dyson design competition, Aiden's spirit of invention is ageless. Young people are free of the inhibitions of years of experience. And with success or failure, their default is to try something new. In the face of increasingly complex problems, we must encourage young people to take on the challenge of solving them. Alternative energy, transportation, or even a household appliance. The competition is open for entries and we can't wait to see this year's inspired solutions.

Not only in education and for the economy, but culturally too. And as he admits, it's not all about glitzy science projects; for me, our future is not exclusively digital or virtual either. We still need to invent and make. D&T should be valued by its long-term contribution to the economy, not by expense of teaching it. It teaches prized skills, relevant to business and industry; the launch pad for the next generation of Edisons, Brunels and Whittles. D&T needs inspiring teachers and healthy government funding but this investment will produce good yield. D&T is the most popular subject after the compulsory ones (a title it was stripped of in 2004), but it has a dowdy 'soft' reputation. I can see why. The 'hard' parts of the subject have been linked with softer elements like food technology, textiles and graphics. It was the 1880s Samuelson Commission that introduced Victorian handicraft to our schools, albeit as a subject for those "dull in all 'brain work'". It's a myth about engineering and technology that persists: making plastic clocks or moneyboxes at school, fixing boilers and mending the car in working life. My only exposure to practical hands-on skill at school was woodwork - it was dull. We made wonky matchbox holders and as exciting as it got, it wasn't enough to inspire a career in engineering or design. It was at home that I experimented. Ripping apart exciting machines to discover how they work, before invariably failing to piece them back together again. We had lots of broken radios. It was, eventually, at London's Royal College of Art that I had the inspiring teachers who gave me the skills to ultimately rip the bag off my old Hoover Junior and create a vacuum cleaner that didn't wheeze and lose suction. Well taught, relevant and ultimately 'hard' Design & Technology will inspire more of young people, prompting them to take their interest further - to a career. Design engineering marries the creative with the cerebral, turning ideas into commercial reality. But the subject needs a re-design. Remove cookery and sewing, shift the focus to engineering, product design, and technology. Call it DTE - Design, technology and engineering. Merged with STEM subjects, it's a winning combination of theoretical knowledge and practical skills. It is the fourth science. George Osborne and Michael Gove must fuse the link between the economy and education. D&T can be that link if added to the STEM quartet - providing fertile ground for new technology. Young people learn theory from science, but only through DTE will the theory be put into practice.]]> Letting Students Fail in Order to Succeed tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2011:/theblog//3.856609 2011-05-03T16:24:25-04:00 2011-07-03T05:12:02-04:00 James Dyson http://www.huffingtonpost.com/james-dyson/ But what if it was? What if we let children get things wrong once in a while? As an inventor, I make mistakes. It's how we learn what works and find new ways of doing things. I've seen this approach get the best out of children in U.K. classrooms. And I think it can work in the U.S. Chicago Mayor-Elect Rahm Emanuel has made education his first priority. He pledges to extend the school day, improve math and reading skills, and raise college graduation rates. Essential aims. But I think a fundamental point needs to be addressed: can more be done to inspire students? It's easy to get lost in statistics and scores. But education shouldn't be about box ticking, whether that's how children are taught or how their success is measured. Education should be inspiring. It should provide real life skills. It should show children they can make a difference to their community and society. With global competitiveness making better technology essential, subjects like engineering and science are vital. However, there's a growing gap between education and occupation. Science and engineering jobs are growing 70 percent faster than in other fields, but not enough Americans will be qualified to fill them. Do kids care? No, not yet. We shouldn't expect them to put national discourse above playground politics. But we should at least provide enough exposure to these subjects so they can consider them as career options. Students should have that choice -- too often they don't. Chicago, for example, has one of the shortest school days in the country, which means there often isn't enough time for science and technology lessons. At the moment, less than one percent of Chicago students rate as "advanced" on scientific proficiency. Many students under perform and are left disinterested. This trend can be turned around. Students have never been so technologically savvy, nor as environmentally aware. Children should be shown that engineers and scientists are behind their smartphones, the people responsible for developing their parents' hybrid cars and clean energy sources. To do this, learning needs to be connected with real life. Children can see how creative and rewarding it can be to solve problems through practical testing. Textbooks and digital learning tools are important, but they don't give children the hands-on experience needed to engage and inspire. Students want things that tap into their interests and capture their imagination. One solution is Design and Technology -- a course developed for the U.K. school curriculum. It blends creativity with engineering theory. It develops practical skills, as well as an understanding of design aesthetics, environmental issues and industry. It prepares students for a rapidly changing technological world -- sowing the seeds for future inventors and their ideas. Its application to real technology and situations makes it unique to the U.K. education system. My Foundation would like to introduce it to the U.S. -- starting with Chicago, Dyson's U.S. home. In September, we'll be launching engineering activities for the classroom, resources for teachers and after school engineering clubs in Chicago. The foundation encourages kids to fail. Or rather, not be afraid to fail: to experiment, test ideas and make something new. Students need an alternative to read-and-repeat. They need to use their heads and hands to identify problems and go about solving them. Taking things apart and developing new ways to do things. Not to be mistaken for playtime, it's how children develop critical thinking skills and the practical knowledge for how things work. And it's fun. Change won't come over night. But along with the work of organizations such as FIRST Robotics, and a commitment from the education community, we hope to help inspire more children to become the inventors of the future. Engineering is exciting, rewarding and creative. Let's help children find that out for themselves.]]> Let Bipartisanship Start with Education tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2010:/theblog//3.787501 2010-11-23T12:09:09-05:00 2011-05-25T18:15:22-04:00 James Dyson http://www.huffingtonpost.com/james-dyson/ If the recession has proven anything, it's that the US can no longer rely on financial services and its boom-bust cycle of artificial wealth. America must return to industry: science, engineering and technology. I say return, I should say rally. The US still leads the world in developing new technology. What's changed is the competition -- the international ante has been upped. China produces seven times as many engineering graduates as the US and will soon file more patents. Action is needed. Future growth depends on having the best ideas and technology -- boosting overseas exports and cutting the deficit. There's a reason why Obama has visited India and David Cameron has visited China -- soon they'll be our biggest customers. We need to be ready. But there's a problem. The US education system isn't producing enough scientists and engineers -- ideas people. At school, educating students is costly, but math and science achievement is low. As a result, not enough people to pursue these subjects at college. The US is only 27th among developed nations in proportion of science and engineering graduates. In fact the US graduates twice as many visual and performing arts students as engineers. Hollywood isn't complaining about a lack of skilled workers but many engineering firms are. Reform is required to equip young people with the right skills and put them in the right jobs. Inspire them. It wouldn't be the first time the US retooled and rearmed its workforce. The USSR's launch of Sputnik inspired investment in scientists and engineers. (Today, US astronauts have to hitch a ride on Russian rockets because of budget limitations). The space race is over but the US is now engaged in a very real trade war with its competitors. Can the US compete with China and India in low-cost assembly? No, at least not in everything. But manufacturing is more than that. It's about intellectual property. Engineers and scientists conceive, research, design, test, tweak and perfect technology. It takes about four years and dozens of engineers to create a Dyson machine but only a few hours put one together. When any country can make anything, the best technology will win. Engineers and scientists only make up 4% of the US' workforce. But they help create jobs for the other 96% -- the products others sell, service, market, mend, and insure. What happens when there's nothing left to sell? We can learn from emerging economies like Singapore. It adjusts its education systems to the needs of its economy. Over 40% of its graduates are engineers. It also has one of the best education systems in the world because it recruits and trains good teachers and shares good practices -- despite spending less than many other countries. Similarly, Republicans and Democrats must consider long term educational goals over short term political gain. By 2020, 123 million US jobs will be in high skill/high pay occupations. But only 50 million Americans will be qualified to fill them. Unfortunately, there's no one solution or quick fix. But I believe the agenda needs to begin at school. To see change, politicians need to make some tough choices. Does the No Child Left Behind Act's emphasis on learning by rote create better statistics than it does independent, free thinking young people? Instead of pushing kids through school with passing grades should we not be trying to inspire them by letting them get things wrong from time to time? Science and engineering should be about experimenting and observing mistakes, not ticking boxes. That's why I was surprised to learn a design and technology class doesn't exist in the US. It's a course that goes beyond text books and encourages children to get hands on with technology and combine theory with practice. It's perfect engineering training -- using hands and brains creatively to solve problems. My foundation plans to run some design and technology workshops in the US next year. Above all we need to produce great teachers -- who inspire study and increase achievement. The UK Government has introduced a program that encourages experienced professionals to go into teaching. I've also advised them to offer new STEM teachers financial incentives to increase numbers. Both measures would benefit the US. The world has changed. Education must change with it. Our trade competitors are equipping young people with the skills needed in a 21st century economy. We must do the same. More engineers and scientists will boost employment, cut the deficit by creating exports and improve society through invention. If Democrats and Republicans want to safeguard the US' economic future, cooperation in the classroom is essential.]]>

Museum Guide for St. Petersburg
One Day in St. Petersburg
I don't think this is one of the essentials of a visit to St Petersburg. If you have the time go visit it by all means, the church is worth seeing but you will probably see similar churches on your trip. I feel if you are pushed for time, this is one visit you could skip.
If you go to the prison where so many greats and not so greats had been locked up over the years check out number 60 Leon Trotsky's old cell but be aware, if you try to jump on his old bunk for a photo an alarm will sound! I did and it did! A guard came in with an amused...
Looking at its strategic location on a map it is no wonder why it was originally built as a fortress. A well informed tour guide really helps make this an informative experience
Although it was not one of the highlights of our trip o St Petersburg, we did enjoy spending a couple of hours wandering around the fort. The architecture is interesting and Peter the Great is buried in the beautiful cathedral.
Built in 1703, this former citadel of the town sits on a small island in the Neva River. Many Russian royal families are buried in the Cathedral as well as the Romanov family, including Anastasia! ;)
Here´s where Peter the Great founded the city in 1703. There are several interesting buildings and in the Peter and Paul Cathedral are buried all the tsars from Peter the Great on with the exception of Peter II.
It was originally set up as firs fortress during initial stage of the city, but never been used as it supposed to be, but it was redesigned to be used as a prison, where you can still experience isolate prison rooms without a single sign of the daylight:-)
Must see and feel it
As part of a tour on SPB, the Russian based tour company, we visited Peter and paul Fortress, luckily on a beautiful, blue sky day (not always frequent around rainy St. Petersburg). It is full of many tourist surprises in addtion to being the last repose of many of Russia's czars and their families, including the last czar, Nicholas II...
The fortress contains the Church of Peter and Paul which contains historically important graves all intimately related to the city of St Petersburg, making this a good starting point for seeing the city.
The church is stunning and different from traditional Russian Orthodox churches, another reason to visit.
And from outside the Gates of Death you get a panoramic view...
this was interesting though a disappointing visit as didn't have enough time and guides made us rush then we ended up spending more time in a gift shop trying to sell us local crafts, a typical guided tour

December 30, 2014 - I purchased this lovely pink glass ornament last year. However I did not put out it up of my darling white tornado's reach, & promptly grabbed & broken! (2 years old) So thankfully these marvelous angels were offered again this year, & I bought both of them. And put them up on an antique secretary, where our 3 year old bundle of unstoppable joy & movement, could see & enjoy them!! Thank you so very much for offering these angels again this year!!!
December 30, 2014 - Very well made. Really nice! Something special to give to that person who needs a little 'lift'!!
December 26, 2014 - very beautiful. Excellent Christmas tree ornaments. But as for hanging it from your rear view mirror in your car doesn't work so well. It swings a lot and the ribbon clangs against the angel's body when going over speed bumps, and holes in the road . I stuck my to my dash with velcro. Works great !
October 24, 2014 - These are very sweet. Nicely made and nice color pink.
October 2, 2014 - I am in Australia and I have bought 20 of these from greater good to give to my special friends and family who are supporting me with my journey after my diagnossis last year.these are beautiful and we have nothing like these on our australian website..Everyone loves them and so do i

Armed men order UN envoy out of Crimea
A special UN envoy visiting Crimea was threatened by 10 to 15 armed men on Wednesday and ordered to leave the region.

SIMFEROPOL, UKRAINE—A special UN envoy visiting Crimea was threatened by 10 to 15 armed men on Wednesday and ordered to leave the region, where Ukraine and Russia are locked in a tense standoff, UN officials said.
Later, an Associated Press reporter found Robert Serry in the business class lounge of the Simferopol airport on Wednesday evening.
More on thestar.com
"I'm safe. My visit was interrupted for reasons that I cannot understand," the Dutch diplomat said in a statement to AP. He said nothing more.
Ukrainian officials reported earlier that Serry had been kidnapped. But Jan Eliasson, the UN deputy secretary-general, denied that.
Eliasson said Serry was threatened by the armed men as he was leaving naval headquarters in Crimea, but was not abducted. Eliasson said the men ordered Serry to leave Crimea and go to the airport.
Serry refused, but he couldn't move because his car was blocked, said Eliasson.
The envoy was later spotted by reporters in a coffee shop, as men in camouflage outfits stood outside. He got into a van with the men, and was taken to Simferopol airport.
Eliasson, who is in Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, spoke to reporters at UN headquarters in New York by telephone. He said he had spoken to Serry 20 minutes earlier. Serry "is in good shape physically. He is not kidnapped," Eliasson said.
In the Netherlands, the national broadcaster aired what it said was a brief telephone conversation it had with Serry in which he said, "I am in a difficult situation here in Crimea. At the moment I am trying to find a way out."
It was not clear when the call was made.
Lederer reported from the U.N. in New York. Mike Corder contributed from Amsterdam.

Metro Briefing | New York: Manhattan: Talks Urged To Avert Layoffs
By Steven Greenhouse (NYT) (Compiled by Anthony Ramirez)
Published: May 13, 2003
The municipal unions called yesterday for talks to avert city layoffs, and the city said it would meet with the unions, but only if they had something new to say on achieving labor savings. Randi Weingarten, the chairwoman of the Municipal Labor Committee and the president of the teachers' union, wrote to Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg urging him to begin round-the-clock negotiations. The mayor sent out 3,000 pink slips after the unions failed to agree to $600 million in labor savings. In a letter responding to the unions, the mayor's representative, James F. Hanley, the labor commissioner, said he might be willing to meet. Steven Greenhouse (NYT)

After suspected cocaine smugglers from Peru raided a jungle area in western Brazil, a lost Indian tribe that claimed the area as its home vanished according to Brazilian officials. Indian affairs experts in the largest South American country believe that the tribe might have run away in fear after the suspected smugglers raided a Brazilian guard post that was protecting them. Almost 50 pounds of cocaine were found in the area by police officials and, according to a statement, a man who had been deported for drug trafficking this past March was arrested.

We walked 30mins to midtown to a fantastic southern style restaurant called Mary Mac's Tea Rooms which was established in 1945.
