According to research, school leadership rates second among school-related factors that impact student learning – teaching rates first. Moreover, school management strongly shapes the conditions for high-quality teaching and is the prime factor in determining whether teachers stay in high-needs schools. Therefore, high-quality school managers are vital to the effectiveness and education excellence of schools.
To fulfill the need, we at KOULU Group are excited about the idea of being able to present the best that Finland has to offer delivered in a fresh participatory way, via workshops organised with UMT University of Management Technology. The workshops will take place on May 15 – 23 in five different cities in Pakistan: Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Faisalabad, and Sialkot. There will be 2-day professional development workshop in each city on "Buiding Blocks of Education Excellence: Sharing the secret of Finland" with distinct themes for each day:
- Day 1 – General Management of Schools
- Day 2 – Management of Skills Development.
The training consists of three main elements: introductory lectures that address the main topics to be covered, participatory workshops where the participants apply the freshly gained knowledge in their own context and reflecting discussions lead by the experts building a joint understanding regarding the topics and working towards stronger contextualisation of the topics covered.
These workshops offer the participants and opportunity to get to know the Finnish education excellence system and learn what practices drive education in the globally leading country in learning outcomes and results. In addition to experts from UMT, the workshops feature two key experts from Finland: Ms. Satu Järvinen (Partner & VP Education Services at KOULU Education Group Ltd.) and Mr. Jerker Polso (Assistant Principal & Doctoral Candidate at Vaajakoski Comprehensive School).
With a strong belief that technology gives students unprecedented advantages for learning and cultivating critical skills, Ms. Järvinen works with local and global partners to develop and effectively deploy education solutions for all learners and educators. Her expertise includes designing learning environments and delivering innovative professional development programs, as well as wide experience from working with education and development in different types of schools ranging from primary schools to university level. Meanwhile, Mr. Polso's expertise includes pedagogical leadership, special education, and teachers' professional development with a background in special education and educational management. In addition to teaching at all levels of the Finnish education system from kindergarten to university, Mr. Polso has worked with teachers' continuing education in Finland and abroad in various positions for over 10 years.

There really is nothing else out there that compares. It's an expression, a feeling, a strength, a peace. It can be as powerful as a herd of stampeding elephants or it can be as quiet as a mouse. Love will lift you and keep you where you need to be. It is beauty and it is wonder. It is meaning and it is reason. It is transformative.
To say that there are no requirements of Love would be….inaccurate. There are; or maybe there's just one? Maybe that should say, "there is". Whether it's just one or a hundred, it will be the most ever asked of you.
Love wants you to just do one thing. Give. Give it all away. Over and over and over, again. There's many ways and many people to give your Love to. It won't all be the same that you show it or can even be able to show it. It might be a silent blessing in your mind; it might be a kind text in the middle of the day; it might be the biggest hug you've ever given someone or it might be your unconditional, unrelenting Heart for the person that means most to you. It's all different.
The way Love is the same is that you just give it. You don't expect it in return. You don't judge. You don't measure. You don't wait. You just give. Love is not a trade. Love is a decision from your Heart, by your Heart. It is not set within a defined parameter. It is to be grateful of and grateful for. It is who you are. The Love inside of you is the Love outside of you. You give. And by giving, you receive. You don't receive from the source that you gave it to, you receive it from you. Ever volunteer at a soup kitchen? Ever expect to have one of the people you served come to your house to serve you? See what I mean? Same idea.
Love isn't wondering or worried about what's on the other side of it. It knows that there's Love on that side, too and that the Love over there can take care of it over there (which is the Love that comes to you, in case that last sentence was too vague). 🙂
It is just on you to open your own Heart and keep it open. Just yours. And by doing that, without thinking about it or planning around it, you will open other Hearts. Again, it won't all be the same. You'll open the Heart that will offer you a silent blessing without even knowing. You will open the Heart that sends you a kind text in the middle of the day. You will open the Heart that gives you the biggest hug you've ever received. And, you will open the Heart that has unconditional and unrelenting Love for you. It is that your openness brought that to you. Your intention to give and to continue to give brought that to you. It is what connects us to all of those other Hearts.
Love will change your life. It will support your life. It will create your life with you in ways you never thought were to be. You just have to let it in.
Be Love.

How to Free your Dogs from a Fleas Infestation
Dogs are different from all other pets since they have the ability to create a friendly bond with their owners. In a point of fact, people who keep them in their homes usually include them to be part of their families. Since we generally spend a lot of time with our dogs while playing and relaxing at home on our couches, we have to be mindful of their health and cleanliness. Fleas are quite common, and they pose several health related risks to the dogs which can be transmitted to humans as well. That said, pet owners need to acquire flea treatment services so as to protect their dog's health.
Since dog owners do not require to undergo any training before acquiring one, they lack awareness about vital information that can help them relate accordingly with their pets. Therefore, you will be uninformed about any threats to a dog's health; hence, you will have no solution in mind whenever a problem arises. When it comes to fleas, dog owners should know that they need to get treatment services before the pets at home are attacked. In short, the best way to ensure that your dog is free from fleas is by applying ideal prevention strategies. There are so many dogs that are allergic to fleas; therefore, an infestation may cause considerable damage to its health.
There are so many flea treatment products for dogs, but they are all different from the other. When it comes to efficiency, they all differ according to their particular characteristics in terms of chemical composition. Also, the formula used to create the product affects their ability to kill fleas on the basis of their life stages. Accordingly, you will find products that are perfect for killing eggs, but not ideal for getting rid of larvae and adults. Using one product may not realize the best results; hence, there are times when you have to combine more than one product so as to get the best flea treatment for your dog.
Before purchasing flea medicine for dogs, you should consider knowing the solution methods that are used by other people. Chances are that they will recommend some of the most effective medicines that are obtainable in the market. However there exists dog professionals whose services should be sought every time you want to apply any form of treatment on your dog. Your dog's doctor will help advise you about the suitability of the medicine acquired by examining whether it has any chemicals that can affect your dog's skin or health. Finally, flea and tick meds for dogs should be legitimate.

Monday, June 7, 2004 | 9:24 a.m.
Residents in the area of Russell Road and Eastern Avenue near McCarran International Airport were angered to learn of a Wal-Mart Supercenter that had been approved for a 20-acre parcel near their homes. They envisioned tens of thousands of cars entering and leaving the discount retailer's parking lot. Two dozen of them confronted the Clark County Commission last week, asking how could this be happening when the neighborhood was already overwhelmed with traffic. Also confronting the County Commission was an official from the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, who was predictably and hotly opposed to the approval for the anti-union Wal-Mart.
Why did you approve this Wal-Mart? was the collective question of the day for the commissioners. Shockingly, their collective answer was, "We did?" Commissioner Myrna Williams affirmed the confusion. "I didn't know Wal-Mart was part of that agreement," she said. "None of us did." The agreement was for the lease of county-owned land managed by the county's Aviation Department. It was approved March 16 as part of the County Commission's consent agenda, which normally consists of routine, noncontroversial items that are bundled together so they can be quickly passed with one vote.
The leased land is east of the airport and is part of 155 acres the county owns in the area. The land is set aside for future airport expansion and to create a buffer between homes and the airport. Some of it is leased to private interests for industrial and commercial uses. Some private interests obtain master leases and then sublet the land to other private interests. This is how Wal-Mart got approved -- it was subleasing from Marnell Corrao Associates, which was approved, via the March 16 consent agenda, for a 65-acre master lease.
Overseeing the leasing process is Aviation Department Director Randy Walker. Either he, or a member of his staff, should have informed the commissioners of Wal-Mart's involvement before the March 16 consent agenda came up for a vote. Instead, the commissioners were sandbagged and now they are researching whether they can overturn their own approval. The issue could be heading for a costly court battle.
The commissioners say they will change the way such leases are handled in the future, but the matter must not rest there. They must get to the bottom of how a Wal-Mart Supercenter -- which is a highly controversial development all over the country -- could have possibly gained their unknowing approval. Was this a deliberate end-around by a staff member? Were the commissioners really fooled, or was it their way of gaining approval for Wal-Mart with minimum political damage? Was it incompetence? Could there be criminal activity? The public, especially the affected residents, deserves to know.

This page is a beginner's explanation of the Big Bang. I intend it to be
accurate. It is my understanding of the matter, however, so I can't guarantee
That's how it started, or so they say. I have to admit, even with a science
background, I wasn't immediately convinced. Then I learned a discouraging
truth: it was easy to be swayed by superficial arguments if I remained ignorant
(happens in politics too, by the way). And it was difficult to accept, but I
was ignorant.
How'd I find that out? I started reading. I had a physics degree already,
so I didn't think I was ignorant. Then again, my degree was nye onto 30 years
old, and I hadn't really been keeping up in some aspects of my own field. I'd
just been doing applied Newtonian physics for 30 years.
So when I started reading, I found out how ignorant I was, and how
compelling the arguments are for the Big Bang. That's right --
When did the idea of the big bang get started? That's a bit hard to say.
Even in Einstein's time, Einstein was intrigued by the story his relativity
equations were telling. The debate of that era was whether we lived in a static
universe or a changing one. At the time, around 1900, the discovery that our
Milky Way galaxy wasn't the entire universe was just being made.
Einstein's equations of general relativity told him that the universe could
not be static. His space-warping math said that the universe must be either
expanding or contracting, that the forces of gravity between all the stars and
their motions simply couldn't lead to a static arrangement. When he first
formulated his general relativity equations, the Milky Way galaxy was still
considered to be the entire universe, and it appeared to be quite static on
the large scale.
So Einstein tried to bring his equations into alignment with generally
accepted astronomical principles by adding his famous cosmological
constant into the mix as a repulsive force to balance gravity. He hoped in
this way to find a stable and static solution that would fit the current view
of the universe. But he could not find a static solution. Even with the new
cosmological constant, a static universe just didn't seem possible. We either
had to be coming or going -- universe-wise.
A fellow named Edwin Hubble, whose discoveries are described in the book Edwin
Hubble: Genius Discoverer of Galaxies (Genius Scientists and Their Genius
Ideas), solved the coming or going part. In 1929 he
determined that galaxies external to our own, other than those bound together
in the local group, were all receding from us. The further away they
were, the faster they were receding. That showed, emphatically, that the
universe was expanding as Einstein's equations demanded.
Einstein promptly removed his ad hoc cosmological constant and declared
it to be the biggest mistake he'd ever made. Of course, now with the discovery that the universe's expansion rate is actually increasing, the term has been
It seemed logical enough even in that era to wonder what would happen if one
could turn the clock backward? If objects in normal time are getting further
apart -- wouldn't they be getting closer together if the clock ran backward?
That is, in the long past things must have been close together. And if that
was so, and it was also true that gravity pulls things together, something
spectacular must've happened to push things apart. In fact, push them apart
with such force that they are still moving apart today, some billions of years
So the Big Bang idea started to take place. But up to this point it
was largely a mental exercise. Galaxies that we observe receding must
have been closer at one time -- but in the same place? What was the
Evidence began to mount when Penzias and Wilson of Bell labs were
having trouble getting the noise out of their radio telescope back in
1965. They tried everything from checking all of the electronics, to
double checking that they weren't picking up ground based interference, to
even making sure the pigeon droppings in the antenna housing weren't
bouncing transmissions around.
Their conclusion? They determined that the noise they couldn't get rid of
was from outer space. A microwave signal emanating from all directions, like
that which would come from a black body a couple degrees above absolute
As it happens, another group of scientists were already looking for such a
thing to explain their view of the beginning of the Universe. They were
ecstatic when they heard of the Penzias and Wilson discovery. It was just such
a result that should be seen if there had in fact been a massive explosion some
billions of years ago. We should see a low temperature radiation (due to the
expansion and cooling of the universe) from all directions. What else could
explain that?
Now if you are into physics, you may know that it is a vast field of study
made up of a number of sub fields. Astronomy is one such sub field. Others are
thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism (called E and M), relativity, and
quantum physics, to name a few. I've already mentioned that relativity started
off the debate.
It turns out that each of these other realms of physics have something
to say about the Big Bang. Only one field, you understand, would have to
be in disagreement with the evidence to cast doubt on the theory.
E and M is the study of electricity and magnetism, which gets into
microwaves, x-rays, light, and all forms of electromagnetic radiation. The
statement E and M makes about a Big Bang is that a vast amount of radiation
would be given off in a big bang. That's what Penzias and Wilson discovered
with their radio telescope.
Thermodynamics is the study of heat flow, the base of knowledge that
originally led to the invention of the steam engine. Thermodynamics predicts
the nature of the residual background radiation and it's apparent temperature
after the expansion. Again, an observation in agreement with relativity and
astronomy (Hubble).
Quantum physics, not entirely understood by anyone, is the study of the
interior of the atom. I recall that when I was a young college student and a
beginning amateur astronomer, I considered astronomy and quantum physics to be
at opposite ends of the physics spectrum of study.
Quantum was the study of the very small, and Astronomy study of the the vary
large. Each had their own mathematics and methodologies for solving problems.
It was hard to see what relationship the two fields had with one another.
Then the buzz about black holes started. Collapsing stars, infinite
density, the singularity, the break down of relativity, etc. That seemed pretty
far fetched. Certainly no one had ever seen a black hole. Besides, how do you
see one? A black hole against a black background?
It's true, black holes really can't be seen directly. But they exhibit a
gravitational attraction that can be revealed by the actions of objects and
atoms around them. Large objects, like stars, can be seen moving around
something that is obviously more massive than the star, yet invisible. It has
to be either a neutron star or a black hole -- what else?
Atoms in gas getting too close to a black hole get so accelerated that their
mutual collisions create high energy emissions, including x-rays. Not much
else is known that can cause that. Both of these phenomenon have been observed
repeatedly. Black holes are a fact of life. And the clash of the macro
work of Astronomy and the quantum world begins at the periphery of black
So black holes are the super massive objects of incredible gravity. That
seems very much an astronomy object, on the big scale. But they are collapsed,
and actually very small, singularities in fact. Within the vicinity of the
singularity, or during the collapse, all that mass gets crunched into a smaller
and smaller space. Eventually down to (and beyond) the size of nuclear
The nuclear force is incredibly strong. Under normal conditions gravity is
extremely weak in comparison. So weak, that trying to measure any relationship
that might exist between the nuclear force and gravity is impossible. But
something happened in the 19th century that started a revolution in
A fellow named James Clerk Maxwell figured out that the electrical force and
magnetic force, both discovered long before his time, were related. In fact,
one might say that electricity and magnetism are two aspects of the same force.
He created the equations that explain that relationship. Physicists say that
Maxwell unified electricity and magnetism. I think a better layman's
terminology is that Maxwell discovered the relationship between the forces.
That discovery led to a big question. There were four forces known by
the end of the 19th century: gravity, electromagnetic, weak nuclear,
and strong nuclear. If electricity and magnetism were considered to be
separate forces and then were found actually to be aspects of a single force,
were the other forces related in some way also?
Ah, you think I digress. I warn you, I've had too many courses in wholism
to think straight anymore. I assure you I will get back on track.
Not too long after the start of the 20th century, the question
began to get answered. In 1967, Abdus Salam and Steven Weinberg managed to
describe the mechanism that unified the weak nuclear force with the
electromagnetic force. Thus, the electromagnetic and weak nuclear were aspects
of a single force, observed within different realms of nature. At higher
temperature (and I mean really high), the forces became one. Sort of like ice
and water are really the same material, but under different physical
environments. Heat ice up and the relationship to water is revealed.
While still a work in progress, theories are now being explored that will
unify (explain the relationship between) the strong nuclear force and what is
now called the electroweak force (unified version of electromagnetism and weak
nuclear). So it appears that soon three of the four forces known in nature will
be unified. Gravity is the odd force out. Why? As I mentioned earlier, it may
be because compared to the other forces, gravity is so extremely weak. It is
not possible to measure any relationship with any device man has been able to
That is, until you start talking about black holes. When you squeeze the
mass of a star (or millions of stars) into a singularity, you have in effect
raised the value of gravity to the level of the other forces. Obviously,
to understand what goes on in a black hole, it is necessary to understand the
relationship between gravity and nuclear forces, now that they are on a more
equal footing.
The problem is, in the non-extreme areas of the universe (far away from
black holes), the nuclear force/gravity relationship is not measurable. But in
the extreme areas of the universe, inside the event horizons of black holes,
the events are not observable. How, then, does one figure out the relationship
between gravity and the other forces?
As a side note, it is also possible that we are completely wrong in our
interpretation of gravity. It may not be a fundamental force at all, which
could be the reason we can't unify it with the others. It may be what's called
a consequential force of something else going on at the atomic level. It's that
something else that may be the fundamental phenomenon we need to
reconcile with the other forces. Something that we might identify at the
quantum level that causes minuscule distortion of space-time. Gravity, after
all, is in some way involved with the warping of space time.
This relationship of particles at the extreme size and gravity aspects of
black holes (to bring things back together), is the clash point of the macro
world of stars, galaxies, and relativity -- and the micro world of electrons,
protons, quarks, and nuclear force. What was convenient to observe as two
completely different extremes, each with its own mathematics, comes crunching
together and must require a common mathematical description.
In the effort to study this micro/macro clash, a lot has been learned about
the nuclear world. The functioning mechanisms of stellar interiors, for
example. And some pretty good models of the Big Bang, as it relates to quantum
matters. Involved in that understanding is what atoms would be produced in a
Big Bang.
It's called Big Bang neculeosynthesis. Based on knowledge of stellar
interiors (known pretty well now) and particle accelerator studies, the
neculeosynthesis model predicts the ratios of the production of atoms,
particularly hydrogen, helium, lithium, and beryllium. Heavier elements
up through iron are not produced in the Big Bang, they're produced when stars go nova. And it's long been a puzzle where the even heavier elements like the
heavy metals come from. Stellar collapse models can't account for them.
Since neculeosynthesis predicts element ratios, astronomers have been
able to locate primordial gas dispersions in space and with spectral
analysis, examine the mix of elements. The findings are consistent with
the predictions of neculeosynthesis.
Recently (2017), scientists with their latest equipment had the massively
(no pun intended) lucky opportunity to detect a neutron star collision in
progress. Studies of the aftermath of that collision revealed what had only
been postulated prior to the observation, and that is the idea that the
heaviest elements come into being at the collision of neutron stars.
Makes sense in a way. When stars run out of hydrogen, they collapse a bit,
increasing the internal temperature and pressure, allowing the fusion of
helium. The process repeats itself as the helium is consumed, on through
elements up to iron. At that point, as it happens, the ratio of neutrinos
to photons produced gets much greater. More neutrinos, less photons.
Why is that important? Because neutrinos don't react much (hardly at all)
with other particles. So they just leak out through stars as if nothing was
there. Leaking out so much energy without it providing any push back allows
stars at that stage to collapse. So beyond iron, fusion doesn't provide the
mechanism for making elements.
But neutron stars are themselves like uber nuclei. Huge masses of
neutrons held together by their own mutual gravity. They are like some super
duper elements whose nuclei masses exceed that of even stars. But neutron stars
are only stable because of gravity, not because of nuclear forces. Crash a
couple of neutron starts together so that chunks go flying off, and you end up
with clumps of nuclear material that don't have enough gravity between the
particles in them to remain stable, and the nuclear force isn't stable for that
much nuclear material either.
So the blasted off clumps of nuclear material degenerate to the largest
stable configurations as determined by nuclear forces -- leading to the
heaviest of elements. Of course you know that Earth has some of the heavy
elements, recall the 49 gold rush. So we can assume that not only did some
ancient star collapse distribute elements up through iron throughout our
region of space, but some neutron star interaction must have occurred near
enough to our region of space also, else we'd not have any heavy elements on
our planet.
Ok, it was a long, drawn out argument. The point is, astronomy, relativity,
E and M, thermodynamics, and quantum physics all have something to say about the
evidences one can observe about the Big Bang. The conclusion is that the
findings in all of these areas of physics are consistent with the Big Bang
model. There is no other known model that brings all of these fields
So you see, by only speculating on perhaps one of these fields and being
ignorant of the others, could one say "it's only a theory." When you
dig around and see all that physics has to offer, the data leaves very little
wiggle room.
So the Big Bang answers just about everything. Well, just about. There is
that little problem about galaxy formation. Classic models about star and
galaxy formation suggest that stars and galaxies formed much earlier in the
hot, expanding universe than possible. I suggest you read the
Dark Matter page when it comes available to put that problem to
I made the image with the The Gimp. The
Gimp is freely available for both Linux and Windows (I happen to use the
Linux version). The star burst pattern was already available, I only had to
mess with size, color, etc.
There are a number of good books out there that can fill in blanks in the
story of the Big Bang. One that I like is written by Nobel prize winner Steven
Weinberg, and titled The
First Three Minutes: A Modern View Of The Origin Of The Universe. Though written by a Nobel prize winner, this is a
book for the layman, and is a great introduction to the concept of the Big
Another book that is a sort of case study is that written by George Smoot
(another Nobel prize winner) and Keay Davidson. It's named Wrinkles
in Time: Witness to the Birth of the Universe, and describes the incredible and difficult quest to
discover and measure the quantum fluctuations in the microwave background
Quantum considerations of the Big Bang say the fluctuations had to be in the
microwave background, but up until George Smoot and his team got the COBE space
probe finally off the ground, there was no way to see them. Had the
fluctuations not been there, the entire Big Bang idea would have busted. In the
book, George gives a hair-raising account of a follow up mission to Antarctica,
necessary to validate the COBE measurements.

William Henry Fox Talbot (11 February 1800 – 17 September 1877) and The Pencil of Nature!
Today was a very difficult day for me, for reasons I will keep to myself for now. Suffice it to say, I found myself wandering through Bryant Park ending up at the New York Public Library on 42nd Street. The famous large library with the two lions outside the main entrance. I thought the exhibit on Frank Sinatra was there, and wanted to take a quick look. However, a security guard told me it was a different library. Oh well, I was going to leave when I saw a giant image of a camera on one of their marble walls saying, Public Eye: 175 Years of Sharing Photography. Hm, I do believe in signs, so I walked in and the first table I saw had a book entitled,'The Pencil of Nature' by William Henry Fox Talbot. I smiled immediately, recognizing the name and era. This book is tagged, "first photographically illustrated book to be commercially published" between 1844 and 46; pre-dating my beloved Julia Margaret Cameron. It was an interesting exhibit covering 175 years of photography, chronologically with a main focus on American photography.
William Henry Fox Talbot by John Moffat, 1864, Albumen print, carte de visite mount with his camera!
Two generations of Talbot's lived at Lacock Abbey, in Lacock, Wiltshire, England. However, by the time little William was born at Melbury in Dorset in 1800, the lavish lifestyle was about to come to an abrupt end. William's mother Lady Elisabeth Fox Strangways was living at her family's house at Melbury when her husband, officer in the Dragoons, died when William was just six months old. The Talbots owed enormous debts and had little money to pay them. One would think that with the fancy titles on the mother's side of the family, they would have money enough to pay off their debts and recover. According to Lady Elisabeth's grandfather, the Earl of Ilchester, this was untrue. He had no money to help them out and his only solution was for Mrs. Talbot to lease to a wealthy tenant. Subsequently, for several years, they moved from one wealthy friend's home to another until Lady Elisabeth married her second husband, a Captain Fielding, when William was four years old. He was a naval officer, who was usually an absent husband despite his love for his wife and family.
At the age of eight, little William, who was called 'Henry' by those close to him was sent to boarding school at Rottingdean where he immediately impressed his teachers with a methodical approach to his work. Henry would write down everything in his diary describing his daily activities, instructing his parents not to throw away his letters but to save them for the future; pretty interesting thoughts for an eight year old? He left Rottingdean, at the age of seventeen, in 1817, to attend Trinity College, Cambridge. Having become 'squire' of Lacock Abbey on his birthday at the age of twenty-one, he left college. When Henry found out that the abbey already had a tenant with more years left on his lease, he went to the continent to study.
By 1822 he became a member of the Royal Astronomical Society travelling to London to lecture. It wasn't until 1827 that Henry lived at Lacock Abbey. Once, moved in and with restorations made to his standards, he studied physics, chemistry, astronomy and whatever other science he wanted. His membership was accepted to the Royal Society at the age of thirty-one and within about a year he was elected Fellowship. It was well known and discussed amongst his colleagues that the fact of his receiving such a Fellowship at such a young age was quite a rare accomplishment. His talents scientifically did not go unnoticed either.
At a meeting of the Royal Institution on 25 January 1839, Talbot exhibited several paper photographs he made in 1835 attempting to communicate to the members the nature of his process. He had invented the first process for creating reasonably light, fast, and permanent photographs that was made available to the public. It was at this same time that a Frenchman named Louis Daguerre invented something called a 'daguerreotype' an announcement said that January 1839. Talbot begged to differ!
It was in 1841 he announced his calotype process and licensed, miniature painter, Henry Collen as the first professional calotypist. A noteworthy mention should go to Scotsmen Hill & Adamson but that's another article in and of itself. In February 1841, he obtained an English patent for his calotype process. The individual patent at the time cost twenty pounds each; later, he lowered the fee to four pounds. Always in constant competition or working in similar fields, Louis Daguerre's agent, two years before, in 1839, applied for English and Scottish patents for the daguerreotype discovery. He was granted a pension for it, declaring his 'invention' "free to the world". The United Kingdom and the British "Colonies and Plantations abroad" became the only places where a license was legally required to make and sell daguerreotypes. Talbot, following a year later, in 1842, received the Rumford Metal from the Royal Society for his photographic discoveries. Ten years later, in 1852, he discovered that gelatin treated with potassium dichromate, a sensitizer is made less soluble when exposed to light. This discovery would later form the basis for the carbon printing process. With the death of Louis Daguerre, in 1851, a man named Frederick Scott Archer publicized the wet collodion process, making it practical to use glass instead of paper when making a camera negative. By 1858, he had evolved a process he called photoglyphic engraving and a second patent was granted. He continued perfecting the photographic processes until the end of his life. In 1862 he was awarded a photoglyphic engraving prize medal from International Exhibition in London. After an illness, he died in his study at Lacock Abbey on 17 September 1877 and was buried there.
William Henry Fox Talbot, Nicolaas Henneman Showing The Pencil of Nature to Charles Porter, probably 1845, salt print from a calotype negative, 15.3 x 19.4 cm
"For when the eye was removed from the prism in which all looked beautiful I found that the faithless pencil had only left traces on the paper melancholy to behold.
After various fruitless attempts, I laid aside the instrument and came to the conclusion, that its use required a previous knowledge of drawing, which unfortunately I did not possess. I then thought of trying again a method which I had tried many years before. This method was, to take a Camera Obscura, and to throw the image of the objects on a piece of transparent tracing paper laid on a pane of glass in the focus of the instrument. On this paper the objects are distinctly seen, and can be traced on it with a pencil with some degree of accuracy, though not without much time and trouble.
I had tried this simple method during former visits to Italy in 1823 and 1824, but found it in practice somewhat difficult to manage, because the pressure of the hand and pencil upon the paper tends to shake and displace the instrument (insecurely fixed, in all probability, while taking a hasty sketch by a roadside, or out of an inn window); and if the instrument is once deranged, it is most difficult to get it back again, so as to point truly in its former direction.
Besides which, there is another objection, namely, that it baffles the skill and patience of the amateur to trace all the minute details visible on the paper; so that, in fact, he carries away with him little beyond a mere souvenir of the scene which, however, certainly has its value when looked back to, in long after years.
Such, then, was the method which I proposed to try again, and to endeavour, as before, to trace with my pencil the outlines of the scenery depicted on the paper. And this led me to reflect on the inimitable beauty of the pictures of nature's painting which the glass lens of the Camera throws upon the paper in its focus fairy pictures, creations of a moment, and destined as rapidly to fade away.
It was during these thoughts that the idea occurred to me how charming it would be if it were possible to cause these natural images to imprint themselves durably, and remain fixed upon the paper!
And why should it not be possible? I asked myself.
The picture, divested of the ideas which accompany it, and considered only in its ultimate nature, is but a succession or variety of stronger lights thrown upon one part of the paper, and of deeper shadows on another. Now Light, where it exists, can exert an action, and, in certain circumstances, does exert one sufficient to cause changes in material bodies. Suppose, then, such an action could be exerted on the paper; and suppose the paper could be visibly changed by it. In that case surely some effect must result having a general resemblance to the cause which produced it: so that the variegated scene of light and shade might leave its image or impression behind, stronger or weaker on different parts of the paper according to the strength or weakness of the light which had acted there.
And since, according to chemical writers, the nitrate of silver is a substance peculiarly sensitive to the action of light, I resolved to make a trial of it, in the first instance, whenever occasion permitted on my return to England.
But although I knew the fact from chemical books, that nitrate of silver was changed or decomposed by Light, still I had never seen the experiment tried, and therefore I had no idea whether the action was a rapid or a slow one; a point, however, of the utmost importance, since, if it were a slow one, my theory might prove but a philosophic dream.
Such were, as nearly as I can now remember, the reflections which led me to the invention of this theory, and which first impelled me to explore a path so deeply hidden among nature's secrets. And the numerous researches which were afterwards made whatever success may be thought to have attended them cannot, I think, admit of a comparison with the value of the first and original idea.
I began by procuring a solution of nitrate of silver, and with a brush spread some of it upon a sheet of paper, which was afterwards dried. When this paper was exposed to the sunshine, I was disappointed to find that the effect was very slowly produced in comparison with what I had anticipated.
I then tried the chloride of silver, freshly precipitated and spread upon paper while moist. This was found no better than the other, turning slowly to a darkish violet colour when exposed to the sun.
Instead of taking the chloride already formed, and spreading it upon paper, I then proceeded in the following way. The paper was first washed with a strong solution of salt, and when this was dry, it was washed again with nitrate of silver. Of course, chloride of silver was thus formed in the paper, but the result of this experiment was almost the same as before, the chloride not being apparently rendered more sensitive by being formed in this way.
Similar experiments were repeated at various times, in hopes of a better result, frequently changing the proportions employed, and sometimes using the nitrate of silver before the salt, &c. &c.
In the course of these experiments, which were often rapidly performed, it sometimes happened that the brush did not Passover the whole of the paper, and of course this produced irregularity in the results. On some occasions certain portions of the paper were observed to blacken in the sunshine much more rapidly than the rest. These more sensitive portions were generally situated near the edges or confines of the part that had been washed over with the brush.
After much consideration as to the cause of this appearance, I conjectured that these bordering portions might have absorbed a lesser quantity of salt, and that, for some reason or other, this had made them more sensitive to the light. This idea was easily put to the test of experiment. A sheet of paper was moistened with a much weaker solution of salt than usual, and when dry, it was washed with nitrate of silver. This paper, when exposed to the sunshine, immediately manifested a far greater degree of sensitiveness than I had witnessed before, the whole of its surface turning black uniformly and rapidly: establishing at once and beyond all question the important fact, that a lesser quantity of salt produced a greater effect. And, as this circumstance was unexpected, it afforded a simple explanation of the cause why previous inquirers had missed this important result, in their experiments on chloride of silver, namely, because they had always operated with wrong proportions of salt and silver, using plenty of salt in order to produce a perfect chloride, whereas what was required (it was now manifest) was, to have a deficiency of salt, in order to produce an imperfect chloride, or (perhaps it should be called) a subchloride of silver.
So far was a free use or abundance of salt from promoting the action of light on the paper, that on the contrary it greatly
weakened and almost destroyed it: so much so, that a bath of salt water was used subsequently as a fixing process to prevent the further action of light upon sensitive paper.
This process, of the formation of a subchloride by the use of a very weak solution of salt, having been discovered in the spring of 1834, no difficulty was found in obtaining distinct and very pleasing images of such things as leaves, lace, and other flat objects of complicated forms and outlines, by exposing them to the light of the sun.
The paper being well dried, the leaves, &c. were spread upon it, and covered with a glass pressed down tightly, and then placed in the sunshine; and when the paper grew dark, the whole was carried into the shade, and the objects being removed from off the paper, were found to have left their images very perfectly and beautifully impressed or delineated upon it
The sensitiveness of the paper to light, considerable as it seemed in some respects, was therefore, as yet, evidently insufficient for the purpose of obtaining pictures with the Camera Obscura; and the course of experiments had to be again renewed in hopes of attaining to some more important result."
See what discoveries you can make when out for a walk! Thank goodness for libraries. I dare to imagine where we would be without them or photography for that matter. All we have to do now to take a photograph is click a button on our phones for heavens sake. Imagine what these great men and women would have to say about that!

The Kindle Fire As Educational Tablet?
Will Amazon's new Kindle Fire be a hit on college campuses? Is it the next hot new educational tablet?
The initial reviews for the new Kindle Fire have been fairly lukewarm, many tech pundits pronouncing that the new Amazon tablet will be no iPad killer. That may well be true, although there is already speculation about which device will be hotter this holiday season.
But just how hot will the Kindle Fire be in education?
When Jeff Bezos unveiled the new tablet in September, there were predictions that the device would be enormously popular in education, in no small part due to its competitive $199 price tag. Personally, I was skeptical as I felt as though there were a lot of things -- the focus on Amazon (book) store content, privacy questions about its Silk browser, problems that libraries in particular have had in administering their Kindle accounts, for example -- that I thought would make K-12 schools less-than-thrilled about adopting them.
But it's a different story at the higher ed level. College students, of course, aren't (usually) reliant on schools purchasing their devices. A survey this spring by the National Association of College Stores found that 15% reported owning an e-reader, up from 8% in October 2010. The survey also found that those who read digital materials said they were doing so far more frequently on dedicated e-readers (and/or with e-reader apps on their iPads) than on their laptops.
While they may be interested in e-readers, college students don't seem to be adopting digital textbooks, or rather they're no more apt to use them than they were 3 years ago. That's despite a number of new digital textbook startups and despite some movement on the part of textbook publishers to make their content available that way. Among the reasons students give for not making the move from print to digital textbooks: the difficulty taking notes, the difficulty sharing books, and the lack of cost-savings.
For its part, Amazon has started pushing into the digital textbook market too, unveiling its Kindle Textbook Rental program this summer. It's program certainly doesn't win any high marks for saving students money, but with the advent of a broader lending program for Amazon Prime members and with a joint effort with Overdrive to enable library lending, it's clear that Amazon is pursuing a number of strategies to strengthen its hold on the e-book marketplace.
The Kindle Fire, unlike the iPad however, really doesn't seem to be targeting any aspect of the educational market. There's no educational app category, for starters, and I really doubt we'll see the sort of edu-focused advertising campaign for the Kindle Fire like we did with Apple's "Learn" ad. There's no Inkling app, no Kno app, no Coursesmart app -- not really a surprise as these are all e-textbook apps as well as e-bookstores.
These apps have all tried hard to address some of the problems that college students identify with digital textbooks, particularly in terms of note-taking and sharing. Without these sorts of apps or features available, the complaints that students have about e-textbooks just seem exacerbated, then, on the Fire.
It's definitely a device to consume content, not to create content, and while I realize that was a charge against the iPad that was demonstrated to be quite wrong in the end, the Kindle Fire really does feel like the Amazon store on a piece of hardware. Of course, students do consume plenty of media, and they do a lot more than read textbooks (You can insert your own joke here about their reading any textbooks).
A confession: I sold my iPad earlier this fall. I sold my Samsung Android tablet too. Why? I only used the former to read e-books, to watch Netflix videos on a "second screen," and to test-drive apps to write about in my articles. I felt the iPad was too expensive a device for such infrequent usage, and since getting rid of the iPad, I've managed just fine with reading e-books via my iPhone. But I've long been an Amazon customer and when the Kindle Fire was announced, I pre-ordered one. I kicked myself once I read all the initial reviews and contemplated canceling my order, but My Kindle Fire arrived today and now that I have the device in hand, I'm still not sure what to make of it. I'll probably enjoy doing my leisure reading (let's pretend, for a moment, I have time for that) on the device. It fits nicely in one hand, something that the iPad couldn't do. Sure, it's not as sleek as the iPad. Like some reviewers have pointed out, it's thicker and heavier than you might imagine, the operating system doesn't run that smoothly or intuitively, and there's an on-off button (which I can't help but frown about having just finished reading the Steve Jobs' biography.)
I sort of wish I'd bought the Kindle Touch instead of the Kindle Fire, frankly. But at $199, I still think lots of college students will opt for the new Amazon tablet. Nonetheless, let's not fool ourselves into thinking that that will make the Kindle Fire an educational tablet.

2 Bay Area bicyclists killed over a 14 hour span
A bicyclist was killed in a traffic collision in Santa Rosa Wednesday morning — the second cyclist to die on Bay Area roads in a 14 -hour span.
The fatal Santa Rosa crash occurred after witnesses reported seeing the bicyclist swerving into a parked construction trailer and losing his balance before he was run over by a tractor-trailer rig, the California Highway Patrol said.
CHP Officer Mike Tonelli was flagged down by a motorist who alerted him of the crash at about 8:30 a.m. The officer and a passing nurse began cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the bicyclist found lying on the right shoulder of River Road, blocking part of the eastbound lane. The bicyclist was declared dead on scene.
Witnesses told CHP officers the bicyclist was riding eastbound on River Road, weaving between westbound and eastbound stop-and-go traffic, said Officer Jonathan Sloat, a CHP spokesman. He was reportedly out in traffic and going faster than the slow-moving vehicles when he lost control.
"I think if he had just slowed down and had a little more awareness of his surroundings, we would have had a different outcome," Sloat said.
The 41-year-old bicyclist, whose name was not immediately released, was a resident of nearby Forestville.
He was the second bicyclist to be killed in the Bay Area over a 14-hour period.
Another man was killed Tuesday evening after being struck by a car while bicycling on Highway 12 in Fairfield, police said.
Police arrived on scene about 6:30 p.m. to find the man, whose name was not released, lying face down on the road. Witnesses reported that he was riding southbound on Beck Avenue against a red traffic signal and was struck by a car, driven by a Suisun City resident, heading eastbound on Highway 12, said Officer Sam Rowland of the Fairfield Police Department.
Alcohol or drugs were not suspected in the crash and Rowland said the driver was cooperating with investigators.
Highway 12 was closed for several hours after the collision as police investigated.

GoCrea8 Premiership
Cardiff University 4, Taunton Vale 1s 4
TAUNTON travelled to Wales for the final time this season to face a young Cardiff University team.
Again Vale had a bare 11 players due to injuries and unavailability so knew they were in for a tough game.
The first half started terribly with Cardiff scoring two goals and, at that stage, it looked like it was going to be many more.
After 20 minutes though, Taunton found their groove and began to press hard, scoring twice to make it 2-2 at half time.
Taunton continued to play some brilliant hockey in the second half, linking passes together and working well as a unit defensively.
Vale scored two more goals, one of which a contender for goal of the season as Karl Trunks threw a ginormous aerial which James Linehan brought down and placed past the keeper.
The last 10 minutes of the game were tough as Taunton's lack of substitutes gave them tiring legs.
Cardiff got two goals near the end to make the final score four all.
It was a brilliant spectacle to watch as the game swung both ways and was probably a fair result.
Jesse Mooney received the man of the match for an outstanding performance in the middle of the pitch, while Taunton's goal scorers were James Linehan (2), Karl Trunks and David Gibson.
GoCrea8 Championship
Taunton Vale A 2, Newent 2
VALE 2nds, at home, got out of the blocks quickly and put Newent under pressure.
The pressure was rewarded with successive short corners, one of which Charlie Rutherford converted with a well worked routine.
Newent came back into the game with some sustained pressure during the later periods of the first half which Taunton Vale defended well, and going into the break Taunton were 1-0 up.
Newent started the second period brightly and scored an early goal, quickly followed by a penalty flick awarded against the Taunton keeper which they managed to convert to give the away side a 2-1 advantage.
Even though Taunton went down to 10 men for periods of the second half they kept going forward and were rewarded with a penalty stroke of their own which was well saved by the Newent keeper.
Eventually, however, the pressure told and Rutherford scored a second from another well worked short corner which levelled the scores at two apiece.
Neither side could find the elusive winner and the points were shared.
GoCrea8 Central 1
Marlborough 6, Taunton Vale B 1
THE thirds travelled to already promoted Marlborough, who needed to win to wrap up the Central 1 title.
Vale knew they were in for tough fixture and they started badly, conceding possession and gifting Marlborough the lead.
Despite goalkeeper Dan Diggins' heroics, Vale conceded another through a penalty corner as Marlborough threatened to run wild.
However, Vale immediately pulled a goal back through Tom Tridgell as Calvin Bull burrowed his way through Marlborough's defence.
The hope was to be short-lived, as Marlborough scored again almost immediately, and then added two more in the second half.
Vale then had a fruitful quarter of possession without creating any clear cut chances, and they go into their last two games needing one win to ensure survival.
Men of the match: Dan Diggins, Ed Whittle.
GoCrea8 Southern 2
Taunton Vale C 2, Camborne SoM 0
HAVING withstood early pressure, Vale took the lead when a short corner was dispatched by Andy Rogers.
The second half proved to be even more difficult and Vale were grateful to a string of fantastic saves by man of the match Andy Criddle.
Their determination paid off, when a pass drilled hard into the D was neatly deflected into the Camborne goal by Val Semilien.
This was without a doubt Vale C's performance of the season and one that the entire team should be proud of.
GoCrea8 South East 2
West Dorset A 9, Taunton Vale D 0
VALE fifths saw their recent promising run ended on a torrid afternoon as they were thumped by West Dorset A.

Group Projects- OH, THE JOY!
Let me tell you all about my recent Corporate Finance Project. Ready for this? On the second day of class, a guy that I know asked if I'd had a group yet. Of course I didn't, since the project was just announced. He's a great student, so I knew being in his group would be a good idea. Plus, I didn't know too many other people in the class. Everyone that he had picked for our group, he knew them, so that was great! Unfortunately, he dropped the class and left me with 4 other random people that I had never seen before!
Not knowing their work ethic, I signed up to be the Group Leader. The project had 3 parts, one part that needed to be done by two people (it was pretty extensive). Anywho, I assigned the 3 parts to 4 of us, and the PPT and report write-up I assigned to the last person. Great, right? Everyone knew their portion of the project in ample time!
So, one of our members had a conference to attend and another project to work on. She missed two weeks of class, and upon her return she sent an email to the guy who was helping her with that extensive part of the project. But, she emailed the wrong guy! This email was sent this past Sunday, and the project is due tomorrow! The guy who she mistakenly emailed leaves class early every day, usually during our 15 minute break. So it was no surprise that during the 2nd half of class last week, the professor was going over the lesson for his part of the project. So yea, he missed it. She even gave us information that we wouldn't be able to find! He answered no emails all weekend, and no one had his phone number!
At this point I'm sure you can tell that my blood was boiling! We all agreed to meet yesterday, 2 hours before class. Guess who didn't show up until 20 minutes before class, with the wrong part of the project done! You guessed it!
By this time, I'd already given up hope on this guy and began to work on his part, since I'd been done with my stock analysis for over a week. I was really just trying to give people the benefit of the doubt. Come to find out, the other guy in our group hadn't started his portion either (yes, 2 days before the due date)!!! Can you say infuriated????? Very much so!
Yesterday after class, everyone got together and helped each other out. To my surprise, the project is 100% complete, PowerPoint, report and all!
This has really taught me to put a little more trust in people and their abilities. It has also taught me to have a little patience. Maybe group projects aren't so bad after all :-)
Ever had a group project dilemma??? Tell me all about it!!!

Oh god I'm just like you I hate group projects !!!!! I swear to god I god bad grades in certain classes because my team let me down... I was stuck in a group with 6 other girls and one time, one of the girls had the nerve to tell me "I don't care what kind of grade we get in this class, I don't want to try anymore"
It's sad but I still hate her... I got the lowest mark in her class!
But I agree, some people REALLY do surprise you right?...

That really sucks! I don't play when it comes to my grades. I mean, if I do bad, it's gonna be because of my own fault. Not because of some losers in a group. I'd literally do the entire project by myself! I've done it before!
My first group project in college, our group waited until the weekend that the project was due to start working on it! I was so annoyed and stressed that I just did the work myself, and put my name on it. I'm not too sure how they did, but I really don't care either!

Dancing at Lughnasa is a short play, but it feels longer than a Hamlet movie marathon. Its universal themes of missed opportunity, regret, and the inability to act on ones own convictions would seem captivating enough, but no. The recent musical Grey Gardens tackles the same themes much better by employing two important elements: empathy and characterization.
It may seem unfair to compare Dancing at Lughnasa to a musical that came along fifteen years later, but it seems to me that Tony-winning plays should be time-testable. Like many modern playwrights, Friel hasn't written a play here, but a self-important exploration of his own disappointments. Where Grey Gardens spends its entire first act inviting us to recognize both ourselves and our mothers in Little Edie and Edith, so that their decline into poverty, madness, and sorrow somehow becomes our own, Friel gives us a group of cookie-cutter sisters with one out-of-wed-lock child and a ne'er-do-well baby-daddy between them. They begin the play no worse off than where they end it. And nowhere in between can we find a point of empathy. Our narrator, the little boy grown up, simply takes us through his fond memories of one summer in the 1930's, when hope sprung eternal. That is, until it was crushed under the heavy boot of reality.
Unfortunately this play is so unrealistic and lacking in heart that it their demise can't even be depressing, merely annoying. Keep your strange Irish tragedy, I'll take more Grey Gardens, please.

Why Did Timbaland & Pusha T Made Their Collaboration Debut Just Last Year
Harvard University has always had an open door to Hip Hop. Dating back to the eighties, the world's most revered academic institution has welcomed venerable hip hop artists from all subgenres of rap music including KRS-One, Paris, Genius/GZA, Lil' B, Kanye West, DJ Whoo Kid, and 9th Wonder as a fellow professor to name a few. Nas was even awarded their prestigious W.E.B. DuBois Medal late last year, and has a fellowship with his namesake there. And let's not forget that the most celebrated printed Hip Hop publication in the culture's history, The Source, was burgeoned in a dorm room there back in 1988.
This past Thursday, Pusha T spen an hour of his time inside the Harvard-Yenching Library to discuss the creative process of his latest album King Push - Darkest Before Dawn: The Prelude, his lengthy recording career, race and politics in the rap game and for young blacks in America, and other important facts about the changes in the rap game since he started "grindin" with his on their seminal debut Lord Willin' in 2002. Here are eight of the most important takeaways from this Harvard discussion with the Virginian.
"Timbaland has a studio in Virginia, and like the greatest man of all because he lets me record there for free. I've never experienced that in my life (Laughs). Tim and my brother are both five years older than me. When I was like seven or eight years old, my brother and Timbaland were in middle school and they had a rap group. But by principle you can definitely call it a gang because Timbaland was the deejay for like twenty guys in this group.
I used to ride my bike over to Timbaland's house with my brother, and we'd stay over and they'd be rapping and doing what they do. And [his] parents would kick me out their house because I would be dancing making too much noise. But it wasn't until 2015 that I worked with Timbaland on music ever. Ever! I'm watching him be the man with music and production, being behind Ginuwine, Aaliyah, and I'm watching, and still never worked with him. I'm was still working with Pharrell, and we're all from the same thing. But I wouldn't change a thing about that."
VA Still Searching For Signature Sound, Even With Pharrell & Timbaland's Contributions
"I feel like [all the other regions] have a particular sound. But I don't think the DMV has a sound. You have the Timbaland sound, you have The Neptunes sound, you have what Missy does, you got guys like Teddy Riley, who was with Wrecks-N-Effect but he was from Harlem with that New Jack Swing sound, and that was all on Virginia Boulevard, for real. But I think we don't have a one particular sound. When you look at Atlanta, you can pigeonhole a sound there.
With New York, you could at one time with the West Coast sound, the Houston sound, the Bay Area sound, and you think of those places musically compared to what comes out of the DMV area, I think we are fighting ourselves. I mean, I was there when Tim was competing with Pharrell, and Pharrell competing with Tim. On top of that, the D.C. area has the go-go sound, but there's a lot going on that's undefined in that concentrated area."
