Day 221/366 (6). 'What this power is, I cannot say; all I know is that it exists...' Alexander Graham Bell. Shot using iPhone5s; post-processed in Enlight and Hipstamatic
Réplica do modelo de 1876 que acompanhou o requerimento apresentado por Alexander Graham Bell ao Serviço de Registo de Patentes, em 14 de Fevereiro desse ano. Esta peça executada no Museu das Ciências de Londres, de acordo com o original existente naquele Museu, constitui o testemunho material do início da telefonia.
(Graphic Description: The seal is a circular pattern, made up of the six flags flown over Texas. At the apex is a white lone star with the words, "Remember the Alamo," beneath it. In the center isa triptych of the Alamo, a canon and Vince's bridge. At the bottom of the graphic in ribbon scroll are the words, "Texas One and Indivisible.")
Vince's Bridge was a wooden bridge constructed by Allen Vince over Sims Bayou near Harrisburg, Texas. Its destruction by Texas armed forces played a critical role during the April 1836 Battle of San Jacinto in the decisive defeat of the Mexican army, which effectively ended the Texas Revolution[1]. Located on the most likely possible route of escape for Antonio López de Santa Anna and his column of the Mexican army, the burning of Vince's Bridge helped prevent his soldiers from reaching the safety of nearby reinforcements.
The bridge was built and owned by a local pioneer named Allen Vince[2]. It was clear to some in the Texan army that it was the only way that Santa Anna's army could orderly retreat, as the bayous and the San Jacinto River were swollen from prolonged spring rains. John Coker, a private in Sam Houston's Texas cavalry, first advanced the idea as he was talking with a group of his comrades about possible reinforcements reaching the enemy camp. He remarked that the destruction of the bridge over Vince's Bayou, some eight miles (13 km) west of the Texans' camp, would distract the Mexicans. All agreed that the idea was a wise one, and scout Deaf Smith was requested to place the idea before General Sam Houston.
General Houston thought the suggestion was a good one and quickly ordered Deaf Smith to select several trusted cavalrymen, evade the enemy, and proceed to the crossing and destroy the bridge. The structure was not chopped down, as mistakenly stated by some historians, but was instead burned. A larger force would have been required to cut down the massive and lengthy structure in so short a time. After the successful destruction of the bridge was announced to the Texans just before the battle, they knew that there was no chance for retreat for either army. They rushed forward, and in 18 minutes, completely routed the panic-stricken Mexicans.
Santa Anna, in his attempted hasty escape from the encircling Texans, soon came to the burned bridge, which he thought was on the headwaters of Buffalo Bayou and his private secretary believed was on the Brazos River. The general was later captured after being significantly delayed by the destroyed structure.
Tactically, the destruction of Vince's Bridge prevented the escape of nearly all of the Mexican survivors. From a strategic perspective, as couriers and fleeing soldiers could no longer readily cross the rain-swollen bayou, it kept news of Santa Anna's defeat from quickly reaching General Vicente Filisola, his second-in-command, and also from General José de Urrea, who had a division on the west bank of the Brazos River. Both columns were in a position to have aided Santa Anna or to have attacked Houston's army, which was still outnumbered by the remaining Mexican forces.

El 10 de marzo de 1876 Alexander Graham Bell pronunció una frase que cambió la comunicación para siempre "Mr. Watson, venga aquí. Le necesito". Bell estaba en una habitación y su ayudante en otra, así que esta vez me he tomado una licencia a la hora de representar ese momento histórico.
El caso, es que su invento fue mostrado al público en la Exposición del Centenario de Filadelfia y corriendo, corriendo, se fue a la oficina de patentes, pero un tal Gray, registró el invento un par de horas después. A partir de ahí, un montón de líos de juicios.... el caso lo ganó Bell, por eso de llegar un pelín antes, pero es que ahí no acaba la cosa.
En el año 2002, l a Cámara de Representantes de los Estados Unidos reconocieron como autor del invento al italiano Antonio Meucci, quien hasta su muerte estableció un juicio para obtener el reconocimiento otorgado por el mundo a Alexander Graham Bell.
Antonio Meucci inventó el "teletrófono" ,que después pasó a llamarse Teléfono, en 1860. Un hombre con muy mala suerte en lo económico y empresarial, pero eso... es otra historia (y seguro que otra foto)

(Photo Description: A profile black and white photo of Helen Keller with a turtle neck lacey collar. Ms. Keller's hair is neatly tucked into a bun at the back of her head.)
Keller wrote a total of 12 published books and several articles. In 1999, Keller was listed in Gallup's Most Widely Admired People of the 20th Century. In 2003, Alabama honored its native daughter on its state quarter. The Helen Keller Hospital in Sheffield, Alabama is dedicated to her.
There are streets named after Helen Keller in Getafe, Spain, in Lod, Israel and in Lisbon, Portugal.
A preschool for the deaf and hard of hearing in Mysore, India, was originally named after Helen Keller by its founder K. K. Srinivasan.
On October 7, 2009, a bronze statue of Helen Keller was added to the National Statuary Hall Collection, as a replacement for the State of Alabama's former 1908 statue of the education reformer Jabez Lamar Monroe Curry. It is displayed in the United States Capitol Visitor Center and depicts Keller as a seven-year-old child standing at a water pump. The statue represents the seminal moment in Keller's life when she understood her first word: W-A-T-E-R, as signed into her hand by teacher Anne Sullivan. The pedestal base bears a quotation in raised letters and Braille characters: "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart."[35] The statue is the first one of a person with a disability and of a child to be permanently displayed at the U.S. Capitol.
Later life, Keller had a series of strokes in 1961 and spent the last years of her life at her home.
On September 14, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom, one of the United States' two highest civilian honors. In 1965 she was elected to the National Women's Hall of Fame at the New York World's Fair.
Keller devoted much of her later life to raising funds for the American Foundation for the Blind. She died in her sleep on June 1, 1968, at her home, Arcan Ridge, located in Easton, Connecticut. A service was held in her honor at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., and her ashes were placed there next to her constant companions, Anne Sullivan and Polly Thompson.
Portrayals of Keller's life have been interpreted many times. She appeared in a silent film, Deliverance (1919), which told her story in a melodramatic, allegorical style.
She was also the subject of the documentaries Helen Keller in Her Story, narrated by Katharine Cornell, and The Story of Helen Keller, part of the Famous Americans series produced by Hearst Entertainment.
The Miracle Worker is a cycle of dramatic works ultimately derived from her autobiography, The Story of My Life. The various dramas each describe the relationship between Keller and Sullivan, depicting how the teacher led her from a state of almost feral wildness into education, activism, and intellectual celebrity. The common title of the cycle echoes Mark Twain's description of Sullivan as a "miracle worker." Its first realization was the 1957 Playhouse 90 teleplay of that title by William Gibson. He adapted it for a Broadway production in 1959 and an Oscar-winning feature film in 1962, starring Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke. It was remade for television in 1979 and 2000.
In 1984, Helen Keller's life story was made into a TV movie called The Miracle Continues. This film that entailed the semi-sequel to The Miracle Worker recounts her college years and her early adult life. None of the early movies hint at the social activism that would become the hallmark of Keller's later life, although Disney version produced in 2000 states in the credits that she became an activist for social equality.
The Bollywood movie Black (2005) was largely based on Keller's story, from her childhood to her graduation. A documentary called Shining Soul: Helen Keller's Spiritual Life and Legacy was produced by the Swedenborg Foundation in the same year. The film focuses on the role played by Emanuel Swedenborg's spiritual theology in her life and how it inspired Keller's triumph over her triple disabilities of blindness, deafness and a severe speech impediment.
On March 6, 2008, the New England Historic Genealogical Society announced that a staff member had discovered a rare 1888 photograph showing Helen and Anne, which, although previously published, had escaped widespread attention. Depicting Helen holding one of her many dolls, it is believed to be the earliest surviving photograph of Anne.
At age 22, Keller published her autobiography, The Story of My Life (1903), with help from Sullivan and Sullivan's husband, John Macy. It includes words that Keller wrote and the story of her life up to age 21, and was written during her time in college.
When Keller was young, Anne Sullivan introduced her to Phillips Brooks, who introduced her to Christianity, Keller famously saying: "I always knew He was there, but I didn't know His name!

The spark (get-it?) of an idea that I've been working on lately. His birthplace is just off Princes Street in Edinburgh and if you've ever gone to the Book Festival (or the horrors of Rutland No.1) then you've passed it.
Trying (unsuccessfully) to create a Grandpa Broon in a kilt look, not that it comes across.
