This site marks the location of the house owned by Mrs. Mary Ann (Brown) Sanders, where Alexander Graham Bell worked and lived during part of the 1870s. Bell performed some of his pioneering experiments in this location, contributing to his eventual invention of the telephone in 1876. The plaque on the building commemorates Bell’s critical work in transmitting speech through electrical wires and highlights its association with Bell’s development of “visible speech” for teaching the deaf, including the grandson of Mrs. Sanders. This historical marker, located on the Salem YMCA building, at 292 Essex Street, was erected in 1922 by the Essex Institute.
One of the surprises of our summer vacation was being directed to this incredible museum in Baddeck, Cape Breton. This museum was built by the Canadian Government to honor Bell who did much reseach in this town on a lake where his laboratory and summer home. Here he did tetrahedron kite experiments and major development of hydrofoil technology. Certainly a significant contributor to the world/humanity. One major museum we would have missed had we not talked to fellow travelers "who'd been".

Happy Birthday to Alexander Graham Bell, who is credited with inventing the first practical telephone (there’s some dispute) . . .
I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall
If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall
I know he's there, but I just had to call
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long
If I don't get your call then everything goes wrong
I want to tell you something you've known all along
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Graham_Bell
Alexander Bell was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on 3 March 1847. Throughout his early life, Bell was a British subject.
Alexander Graham Bell thought the telephone should properly be answered by saying, "Hoy! Hoy!" -- an odd term from the Middle English that became the sailor's "ahoy!" and reflected Bell's sense that those speaking on early telephones were meeting like ships on a lonely and vast electronic sea.
The Russians say slushaiyu (I'm listening). The hipper Russians say allo. Italians say pronto (ready). The Chinese say wei, wei (with a pause between the words, unlike the Japanese mushi-mushi). Wei, wei is meaningless, except as a formula to answer the phone.

(Photo Description: Ms. Keller is seated on a small love seat, smartly dressed in formal coat and hat and she looks down at a brown Akita dog while wrapping one hand on the collar and the other softly around the Akita's neck)
The first Akita in the United States, was brought here by the renowned Helen Keller. In 1937 Ms. Keller and her companion, Ms. Polly Thomson embarked on an extended speaking tour taking them throughout much of Japan. Ms. Keller was most highly revered by the Japanese people often being referred to as "Saint Keller...Saint of Three burdens...Miracle Saint...Miracle Hands...Great Heart of Love...Light of All Miracles...Sacred Light". No foreign visitor had ever been met with such enthusiastic reception. Included in Miss Kellers plans of regions to visit was the Akita district, she had learned of the legend of Hachi-Ko an Akita so revered by the Japanese people for his immense loyalty to his master that a bronze statue bearing the inscription of his story, graces that special place at Shibuya Station where he waited those many years for his master. Miss Keller loved large dogs and was very impressed with the Akita's faithfulness. When she expressed the desire to meet (have) an Akita, action began to arrange for her to do so. A young Akita Police Department instructor, Master in the art of Kendo, Mr. Ichiro Ogasawara, who owned Akita dogs, was asked to arrange for Ms. Keller to get one. Soon after having arranged for an adult dog to be taken to her, he learned it was not appropriate for her needs, so he decided his own new puppy, "Kamikaze-Go", should be introduced to her. Miss Keller was so enchanted by this little goma colored puppy that with the agreement of his family, Mr. Ogasawara decided to make Kamikaze-Go a gift to Saint Keller and a formal presentation took place on June 14th, 1937, the pup then just 75 days old.
There are some reports that Helen Keller helped save this breed from possible extinction since Akita's were often killed for their fur that lined the pilot jackets of the Japanese.
Our first stop on Cape Breton was at Baddeck, a little town situated along the shores of Bras d'Or Lake, a huge body of water in the centre of the island. We came here to learn about Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor, and to visit the museum that bears his name, seen in this photograph. Bell took a liking to this area after coming here for a summer vacation with his family in 1885. Soon after, he began building a house that later expanded into a complex of buildings including a laboratory in which many of his inventions were created. He lived in Baddeck with his wife Mabel for more than 30 years until his death – he died here – in 1922 at the age of 75.

Active Assignment Weekly:: June 18th through June 25th :: "Motivational Poster"
MattNJohnson says:
The assignment this week is to take a photo that could be used in a motivational poster. We've all seen them. Some are really well done and others, not so much.
Feel free to use the Flickr Toy's Motivator tool to give the photo that finished look. Otherwise just type your motivational words of wisdom in the photo notes.
Here's a group of motivational poster photos to get your creative ideas flowing: www.flickr.com/groups/mock/
Restriction: None
Dare: Have some fun with this assignment. Maybe you can make the poster look very professional and "real" but when you read the words it's really a joke and pokes fun at the whole idea of motivational posters.
Have fun!

Piloted by former astronaut Bjarni Tryggvason the anniversary Silver Dart replica takes flight ( after a few glitches and adustments) I found it to be quite the awe-inspiring event to be standing half-frozen on the fully frozen bay where the original Siver Dart first made its historic flight !
(Photo Description: An older Jack Kilby leans over a wooden desk, his palms joined and open with microchips in them.)
Jack Kilby grew up in Great Bend, Kansas and joined Texas Instruments in Dallas in 1958. During the summer of that year, working with borrowed and improvised equipment, he conceived and built the first electronic circuit in which all of the components, both active and passive, were fabricated in a single piece of semiconductor material half the size of a paper clip.
The Chip that Jack Built
It was a relatively simple device that Jack Kilby showed to a handful of co-workers gathered in TI's semiconductor lab 50 years ago -- only a transistor and other components on a slice of germanium. Little did this group of onlookers know that Kilby's invention was about to revolutionize the electronics industry.
Nobel Prize
Jack Kilby received the Nobel Prize in Physics on December 10. 2000 for his part in the invention of the integrated circuit. To congratulate him, U.S. President Bill Clinton wrote, "You can take pride in the knowledge that your work will help to improve lives for generations to come."
Although he has over 60 patents to his credit, Jack Kilby would justly be considered one of the greatest electrical engineers of all time for one invention: the monolithic integrated circuit, or microchip (patent #3,138,743). The microchip made microprocessors possible, and therefore allowed high-speed computing and communications systems to become efficient, convenient, affordable, and ubiquitous.
Some time after earning a BSEE at the University of Illinois (1947) and an MSEE at the University of Wisconsin (1950), Kilby took a research position with Texas Instruments, Inc., in Dallas, Texas (1958). Within a year, Kilby had conceived and created what no engineer had thought possible: a small, self-contained, "monolithic" integrated circuit, in a single piece of semiconductor material about the size of a fingernail. At the first professional presentation of his invention, the IRE (Institute of Radio Engineers) Show of 1959, Kilby's colleagues were both astonished and overjoyed---and the "fourth generation" of computers was born.
Kilby went on to develop the first industrial, commercial, and military applications for his integrated circuits---including the first pocket calculator (the "Pocketronic") and computer that used them. By the mid-1970s, the computing industry was inconceivable without the microchip, which forms the basis of modern microelectronics: without it, no personal computer, fax machine, cellular phone, satellite television, or indeed any other computer or mass communication system as we know it would exist.
An independent inventor and consultant since 1970, Kilby has used his own success to promote other engineers and inventors---most notably by establishing the Kilby Awards Foundation--- which annually honors individuals outstanding in science, technology, and education. Jack Kilby is admired as much for his generosity as he is for his genius.
Alexander Graham Bell is best known for inventing the telephone. Much of the museum in Baddeck is devoted to that most important technology that Bell developed before he and his family moved to Baddeck in 1885. In Baddeck, Bell continued to develop all sorts of ideas, most notably the hydrofoil and the airplane. His work on aeronautics is particularly noteworthy. It began with kites in the 1890's and evolved into engine-powered, man-controlled machines around 1907. Bell's airplanes were not the first ones to fly – this distinction goes to the Wright Brothers in 1902-1903 – but he and his associates of the AEA (Aerial Experiment Association) introduced numerous innovations such as the cockpit enclosure, the tail rudder and the aileron. These efforts culminated in the design and construction of the Silver Dart, a model that incorporated all the new gadgets. On February 23, 1909, the Silver Dart, piloted by one of its designers, John McCurdy, took off from the icy surface of Bras d'Or Lake, flew about half a mile at an elevation of 3 to 9 metres and an estimated speed of 65 km/hr. This is recognised as the first powered, man-controlled, heavier-than-air flight in Canada. All of this fascinating history and much more are on display at the Alexander Graham Bell museum in Baddeck, Nova Scotia. Well worth a visit!

The Canadians (and others) claim that Alexander Graham Bell is the inventor of the telephone. However, the Americans claim it is Antonio Meucci.
Bell was born in Edinburgh but soon emigrated to Ontario.

If you are visiting Cape Breton Island (which you should absolutely do; it's incredibly beautiful) and want to learn about Alexander Graham Bell, this is the place to do it (in Beddeck, pronounced be-DECK). We all know him for the telephone, but he was actually quite a prolific inventor in many unrelated things. I will honestly never think of him the same way.

The Brodhead-Bell-Morton Mansion (also known as the Levi P. Morton House) located at 1500 Rhode Island Avenue, N.W., in the Logan Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Built in 1879 to the designs of architect John Fraser, (renovated in 1912 by architect John Russell Pope) the Beaux-Arts style building originally served as the private residence of John. T. and Jessie Willis Brodhead. Since 1939, the building has served as offices for the National Paint, Varnish, and Lacquer Association (now known as the National Paint and Coatings Association). Former occupants include Alexander Graham Bell and his wife Mabel Gardiner Hubbard, U.S. Vice President Levi P. Morton, the Embassy of Russia, and U.S. Secretary of State Elihu Root. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites.
