Newton, Isaac - One of the greatest scientists of all time

Isaac Newton(1642-1727)

Godfrey Kneller's 1689 portrait of Isaac Newton(age 46)

               Isaac Newton was born on Christmas Day, 1642, in the small English town of Woolsthorpe. His father, a farmer died shortly before Isaac was born. When the boy was 3 years old, his mother remarried and moved to another town. Isaac stayed on at the farm with his grandmother. He was sent to the King's School in the nearby town of Grantham at the age of 12.

                    During his student days, Isaac was a poor student at first. He cared little for schoolwork, preferring to paint, write in notebooks, make kites or invent toys. He made no friends. Silent and dreamy, he was at the bottom of his class. Oddly, It was a savage kick by a bully that caused Newton's great mind to awaken. the dreamy boy flew into rage and beat the other boy thoroughly. Isaac was determined to beat the bully in schoolwork as well. Soon Isaac was at the head of his class.

            When an idea got into Newton's head he could think of nothing else. Once, during a storm, his mother sent him to shut the barn doors to keep them from being torn off. Half an hour later she went to see what was keeping the boy so long. He had forgotten all about the barn doors. They were ripped of their hinges, and Newton was jumping again and again from an open window to the ground. Each time, he marked the spot here he landed. Newton was trying to measure the force of the wind. When the gusts were strong, his jumps werelonger when the wind was weaker.

          When he was 18 years old, Newton went to Trinity College in Cambridge University. He quickly proved to his teachers that he was no ordinary student. He read all the books he could get especially those on mathematics and physics. These interested him the most

              In 1665, when Newton when Newton was only 22 years old, he worked out a mathemathics formula that has been used ever since. Today it is called the binomial theorem.

                 One day in 1665 Newton was sitting in a garden, thing about the moon. While he was wondering about the force that kept the moon moving around the Earth, he saw an apple fall from a tree. This set him thinking about falling objects. Why did they fall down and not up? The same force that made the apple fall downward must also be attracting the moon and helping to keep it in orbit.

                While at Woolsthorpe, Newton began experimenting with light. He succeeded in showing that a beam of light is made up of bands of colours from red to violet. He called these bands the spectrum.

                 Newton's book "The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy appeared in 1687. It was written in Latin, the language in which most scientific books were written at that time. Many scientists think it is the most important scientific book ever written.

                   Isaac Newton died in1727. He was buried in Westminster Abbey, among the great men of England.. His statue stands today in the hall of Trinity College, Cambridge University.

Tumblr.

“Mr. Karp is tall and skinny, with unflinching blue eyes and a mop of brown hair. He speaks incredibly fast and incomplete paragraphs.” 

                                                                   — NY Observer

In 2007, when others his age were studying for midterms and living on dorm food, David Karp was busy launching Tumblr, an easy-to-use micro blogging platform that now hosts 17.5 million blogs and receives about 1.5 billion page views per week. The company has also attracted some $40 million in venture funding.

“It was a really selfish thing in the beginning,” Mr. Karp said. “I wanted a tumblelog and nobody had it.” And so in many ways Tumblr is an embodiment of Mr. Karp’s personality.

When the 24-year-old Internet entrepreneur David Karp was 17, he moved himself to Tokyo for five months—he prepaid the rent on his apartment because he was under 18—where he continued working as the chief technology officer of UrbanBaby, the New York-based message board and e-mail list for overprotective parents with a lot of disposable income and free time on their hands. He had been home-schooled since he was 15, after dropping out of Bronx Science, and had been taking Japanese classes at the Japan Society on 47th Street.


Even in a world of Internet business precocity, Mr. Karp stands out. He started interning for the animation producer Fred Seibert when he was 14 (Tumblr currently sublets office space from Mr. Seibert, who runs an online animation company called Frederator Studios).


By the time Mr. Karp was 19, a new word had entered the lexicon: “tumblelog,” which referred to short-form blogging. (That is, even shorter than regular blogging—many “tumblelog” posts were no longer than a sentence.) Fascinated by this new form of blogging, Mr. Karp says he “kept waiting” for one of the established blog platform players to set up a platform for tumblelogging. When, after a year, that hadn’t happened, Mr. Karp decided to do it himself. 

“I’ve seen friends and colleagues start blogs and then abandon them because they’re too difficult to use or they create a type of publishing system where you feel that you really have to write something profound every day.” (“If blogs are journals, tumblelogs are scrapbooks,” according to the Tumblr website.)

And so Mr. Karp sees Tumblr as embodying a new kind of content curation, a community that affords its users access to a world of text and links and video and photos that have been carefully selected by other users whose taste they feel an affinity for.

“I want to build something I’d be happy to be employed by 10 years out,” he said. “The idea of Tumblr employing 40 people in two years is such an incredible idea.”

Karp, 24, is used to doing his own thing. At 11, he taught himself how to write code. At 15, he dropped out of high school. A year later, he got a job as CTO of UrbanBaby, a New York City parenting site. At Tumblr, Karp likes to spend his time sketching ideas in notebooks, lunching as a group with his 30 employees, and of course, perusing blogs on Tumblr. One thing he doesn't like is being pinned down. That quickly becomes clear if you try to make an appointment with him. Or happen to spot him zipping around New York City on his Vespa.

David Karp often commutes to the office in his Vespa.

He describes himself as anti schedule,giving the exception to board meetings, he doesn't really schedule anything or keep a calendar of things.I think appointments are caustic to creativity. "It's so frustrating when you're in the middle of a great conversation or work groove, and you realize, "Oh, I've got an appointment. I've got to bolt." I prefer the "let's just call each other when we need something or want to hang out" approach. That way, I never have to cancel on people, which is always a bummer. People tell me I need an assistant, but I don't want one."

Mr. Karp grew up on the Upper West Side, the older of two sons of a composer and a science teacher at his school, Calhoun, which he attended before his brief spell at Bronx Science. “He was a child who, even at a very young age, knew what he wanted to be,” said Mr. Karp’s mother, Barbara Ackerman. “He was very focused, very driven.”

Home schooling is hardly a conventional choice for parents in Manhattan. “It’s a great leap of faith to do that for any kid,” said Ms. Ackerman. “It was a huge decision, but in this particular instance it was the right one.” Likewise, the decision to go to Tokyo—alone, at 17—was one that Ms. Ackerman could only endorse. “He worked it all out. It was all paid for ahead of time—I didn’t have much to do with that decision,” she said. “He had everything lined up.”

“To have your child get on a plane and move to Japan …” Ms. Ackerman paused. “Well, he’s like a little adult..”

If Mr. Karp was a little adult at 17, at 21 he’s like a real adult. He lives alone in an apartment on West 71st Street that his parents own; he pays the maintenance. He owns a car, an Acura RSX, that he keeps in a garage. “I learned how to drive stick on that car,” he tells me proudly. “I mostly use it for weekend trips out of the city—Bear Mountain, the Palisades, that kind of thing.” During the week, though, his life consists mostly of work—he gets in around 9 or 10 and leaves around 7, walking the 40 minutes home to his apartment. “Usually I just end up crashing,” he said.

Over two iced cappuccinos and a chicken Caesar salad, Mr. Karp says, “The whole binge-drinking, staying-up-late, hipster lifestyle has never been attractive to me.


Karp’s biggest heroes are “Steve Jobs and Willy Wonka.” Jobs makes total sense. Karp grew up being “obsessed with Steve Jobs keynotes” and the art of “the reveal.” But Willy Wonka? “It’s sort of the same as Steve—the idea that there is this magical factory, and you can’t begin to imagine what went into these things,” he explains. And, by the way, he thinks “Apple is scarier” than Willy Wonka’s factory.

Recognition

• In August 2009, Tumblr's CEO, David Karp, was named Best Young Tech Entrepreneur 2009 by BusinessWeek.
• In August 2010, Tumblr was named as a finalist in Lead411's New York City Hot 125.
• Celebrities that use Tumblr include Lady Gaga, Zooey Deschanel and John Mayer.
• On October 21, 2011, Tumblr became the first blogging platform to host President Obama's blog.

“Right now, we’re going after artists,” said Mr. Karp. “Before that we were thinking students and young people, but it’s much easier to target an adult who wants to express themselves online. Artists and producers have YouTube, and musicians are relegated to MySpace. They’re the worst platforms.” Tumblr, says Mr. Karp, is a natural fit.

Then again, perhaps Tumblr makes sharing thoughts with the world almost too easy. “If every stupid thing you said ended up at the top of your Facebook profile,” Mr. Karp said, “you would probably reconsider it.”

Origins

Charles Darwin

Charles Robert Darwin was an English Naturalist. He was born in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England on 12^th February 1809 at his family home, The Mount. He was the fifth of six children of wealthy society doctor and financier Robert Darwin and Susannah Darwin.  He was a born Unitarian but later became a freethinker. He spent the summer of 1825 helping his father treat the poor of his hometown before attending the University of Edinburgh Medical School with his brother Erasmus Darwin in October 1825. Nevertheless, not long after that he quit his studies as he finds lectures and surgeries quite the bore. Then, he joined the Plinian Society, a student natural history group that supports strayed radical materialism. Soon enough, his father found out about him neglecting his studies and that annoyed him. His father later sent him to Christ’s College, Cambridge for a degree in Bachelor of Arts. That was his first step in becoming an Anglican Parson. Because of his lack of interest and unsuitability, he joined the ordinary degree course in January 1828. He preferred riding and shooting compared to studying. He had to stay at Cambridge until June. He studied Paley’s Natural Theology which created an argument for divine design in nature, an explaining adaptation as God acting through laws of nature.

He did an intensive study of the transmutation. During the study, he became mired in more work. He started taking jobs even knowing that he can’t cope. It affected his health badly. On September 20, he had ‘an uncomfortable palpitation of the heart’. So, according to the doctor, the best solution is that he cut off work for the moment. So, he decided to live in the country for a few weeks. While taking his sabbatical leave, he chose to stay with his maternal family, the Wedgewoods. There, he met his cousin, Emma Wedgwood who was busy nursing his sick aunt. Emma who was ninemonths older than him got his heart and they got married at an Anglican Church at Maer on 29^th January arranged to suit the Unitarians as the Wedgewoods are Anglicans. Soon after the marriage, they immediately took the train to London where they settle down at their new home.

Emma Wedgewood

The Darwin’s Theory, made him one of the many famous people in the Science and Nature Industry. His theory was simply explained and enlightened in the introduction of his report on his research on the evolution theory.

One of his simplified theory done by experts

“As many more individuals of each species are born than can possibly survive; and as, consequently, there is a frequently recurring struggle for existence, it follows that any being, if it vary however slightly in any manner profitable to itself, under the complex and sometimes varying conditions of life, will have a better chance of surviving and thus be ‘naturally selected’. From the strong principle of inheritance, selected variety will tend to propagate its new and modified form.

A staggered evolution based on his theories

According to Darwin, it simply means that each species are merely related somehow somewhere in the descendant. He strongly believed that Humans are the great product of the Evolutionof the OrangUtans.

However, the term ‘Evolution’ in his report got serious critics from the pious and religious people. It was quite a controversial event that time and still is at some parts of the world that still choose to continue his theory based on his well-done foundation.

Throughout his marriage with Emma, he was bestowed with 10 children. All his children were well-bred and well-educated. He was extremely devastated by the passing of the eldest of his daughters, Annie. His faith in Christianity had dwindled and as a result, he stopped going to the church. He strongly believed that God is not being fair to him, that his daughter had died.

Annie Darwin, the daughter that died

Charles Robert Darwin died at Down House on April 19^th 1882. He had planned - well, expected to be buried in St. Mary’s Churchyard at Downe, but at the request of Darwin’s colleagues, he was honoured by a major ceremonial funeral and burial in Westminster Abbey, close to John Herschel and Isaac Newton, both whom are as equally famous as him.

She also held a 13-month, 51-match winning streak, from March 2006 until April 2007, when she finally lost to Natalie Grinham in the final of the 2007 Seoul Open. David has also obtained the WISPA Player of the Year on six consecutive occasions, from 2005 until 2010.

Personal Life

David is the daughter of Ann Marie David, a retired Malaysian Chinese school teacher, and Desmond David, a Malaysian Indian engineer, who is also a former state athlete and footballer. She has two sisters, Lianne and Cheryl, both of whom are accomplished squash players at the national level. As a youngster, mathematics was David's best subject at school; she dreamed of one day becoming an engineer. Her primary education was at Sekolah Kebangsaan Convent Green Lane (Convent Green Lane Primary School). David scored seven A's for her Penilaian Menengah Rendah and obtained seven A's in her Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (the equivalent to GCSE), which she studied at Convent Green Lane Secondary School in Green Lane, Penang. She was raised a Roman Catholic.

The Man Who Invented The Stethoscope

   Rene Laennec was a French physician. he invented the stethoscope in 1816  while working at the Hopital Necker and pioneered its use in diagnosing various chest conditions.He became a lecturer at the Collège de France in 1822 and professor of medicine in 1823.

The Invention Of The Stethoscope

   In 1816, I was consulted by a young woman laboring under general symptoms of diseased heart, and in whose case percussion and the application of the hand were of little avail on account of the great degree of fatness. The other method just mentioned [direct auscultation] being rendered inadmissible by the age and sex of the patient, I happened to recollect a simple and well-known fact in acoustics, . . . the great distinctness with which we hear the scratch of a pin at one end of a piece of wood on applying our ear to the other. Immediately, on this suggestion, I rolled a quire of paper into a kind of cylinder and applied one end of it to the region of the heart and the other to my ear, and was not a little surprised and pleased to find that I could thereby perceive the action of the heart in a manner much more clear and distinct than I had ever been able to do by the immediate application of my ear.

   Laennec had discovered that the new stethoscope  was superior to the normally used method of placing the ear over the chest, particularly if the patient was overweight. A stethoscope also avoided the embarrassment of placing the ear against the chest of a woman.

   His clinical work allowed him to follow chest patients from bedside to the autopsy table. In February 1818, he presented his findings in a talk at the Academie de Medecin, later publishing his findings in 1819.Laennec is said to have seen schoolchildren playing with long, hollow sticks in the days leading up to his innovation. The children held their ear to one end of the stick while the opposite end was scratched with a pin, the stick transmitted and amplified the scratch. His skill as a flautist may also have inspired him. He built his first instrument as a 25 cm by 2.5 cm hollow wooden cylinder, which he later refined to comprise three detachable parts.

   Laennec coined the phrase mediate auscultation, (indirect listening) as opposed to the popular practice at the time of directly placing the ear on the chest . He named his instrument the stethoscope, fromstethos (chest), and skopos (examination).

   Not all doctors readily embraced the new stethoscope. Although the New England Journal of Medicine reported the invention of the stethoscope two years later, in 1821, as late as 1885 a professor of medicine stated, "He that hath ears to hear, let him use his ears and not a stethoscope." Even the founder of the American Heart Association, L. A. Connor 1866–1950) carried a silk handkerchief with him to place on the wall of the chest for ear auscultation.

   Laennec often referred to the stethoscope as "the cylinder," and as he neared death only a few years later, he bequeathed his own stethoscope to his nephew, referring to it as "the greatest legacy of my life."

captain serious

Jonathan Toews

Jonathan Bryan Toews (pronounced as tayves) who was born on the 29^th of April, 1988 in Winnipeg, Canada to Bryan Toews, and Andree Gilbert, is a canadian professional ice hockey centre who plays for and captain of the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League (NHL). He is currently the youngest captain in NHL, having appointed in 2008. He is bilingual, speaking fluent French and English. He is also known as Captain Serious/Mr. Serious by his teammates and fans. 

Jonathan is a captain, thus wearing a "C" on his jersey

Jonathan's dad tied on his first pair of skates when he was only three and says he became an instant whiz on ice. He has been skating since he was three years old and he has always had a natural stride. People would always ask his parents, “How old is that kid?”. When he was just a teenager, he was drafted #1 by the Tri-City Americans but chose instead to play high school. In his last high school year, he played at Shattucks-St. Mary’s in Faribault, Minnesota (110 goals in 64 games) and ended up spending the next two years at the University of North Dakota where he lead the Fighting Sioux to the frozen four in both 2006 and 2007.

Jonathan's brother, David, also attended Shattuck-St. Mary's and began his freshman year at the University of North Dakota in 2008-2009. He was drafted by the New York Islanders and his rights were later traded to the Blackhawks for future considerations on September 9, 2011.

In the 2006 Entry Draft, Jonathan was drafted third overall by the Chicago Blackhawks. He made the leap to the NHL in the fall of 2007 at age 18. Along with Duncan Keith and Patrick Kane, he was part of a new-blood youth movement that moved the 2008 Hawks in the playoffs for the first time since 2002.

Jonathan was named captain a season after he joined the team in 2007-08, becoming the third youngest captain in NHL history at the age of 20. On June 9, 2010, Toews led Chicago to the franchise’s first Stanley Cup championship since 1961, defeating the Philadelphia Flyers in the sixth game of the finals. He became the second youngest captain in the history of the NHL to win the cup, behind Sidney Crosby who let the Pittsburgh Penguins to the championship the previous season. He scored seven goals and 29 in the playoffs, and won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP. by winning the Stanley Cup, he also became the youngest player, at 22 years old, to become a member of the Triple Gold Club (Olympic gold, Stanley Cup, World Championship).

Jonathan lifting up the Stanley Cup

In the spring of 2010, a large mural of Jonathan visible from the Eisenhower Express in Chicago received a degree notoriety.  The mural depicted Jonathan with an abnormally shaped nose and mouth, posed beside a picture of the Stanley Cup (appropriately, toews would end up holding the cup after winning it later that year). Many Blackhawks fans were unhappy about this as they thought it looked offensive. He commented on the mural, stating, “I guess it’s from a picture and they must have embellished it a little bit. They’re not helping me by any means.”

Following the celebration of Jonathan bringing the Stanley Cup to his hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba, the province of Manitoba announced that they would be naming a northern lake after Jonathan in honour of his success. The lake is located 150 km north of Flin Flon and is named Toews Lake. The same day, the Dakota Community Centre in St. Vital where Toews first played organized hockey was renamed the Jonathan Toews Community Centre. Also he was given the keys to the city to honour his achievement and hard work ethic.

The living legend, the King.

Thierry Daniel Henry, the King.  Son of Antonie and Maryse, born and raised in Les Ulis suburb of Paris. In 1990, he’s joined the French first division Monaco as a 13 year old. It was not until the year 1994, has he made his first professional debut for AS Monaco, though he has been signed 4 years earlier. 

   During the early years. 

After about  5 years, he then moved on to Juventus but he had a disappointing season playing on the wing, before joining Arsenal, in 1999.   

Arsene bringing back the striker to Highbury from Juventus in 1999.

It was at Arsenal. Everything started at Arsenal. He made his name as a world-class footballer, at Arsenal. Struggling in the Premier League, he emerged as Arsenal's top goal-scorer for almost every season of his tenure there. He had become a prolific striker under long-time mentor and coach, Arsene Wenger. He had won two league titles, three FA Cupas with the Gunners, also had been nominated FIFA World Player of the Year twice, named PFA Players' Player of the Year, twice. The frenchman spent his final two seasons with Arsenal as club captain, and had lead the team to the 2006 UEFA Champions League Final.

       

Pictures of when Henry played for Arsenal earlier then.

After eight amazing years of Arsenal, he transferred to Barcelona, it was an unexpected turn of events, for most Gooners but yes he did sign a four-year deal with the well-known Futbol Club Barcelona.

Henry in his Barca kit.

After Thierry returned from the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Barcelona had agreed to the sale of him to another club. He then signed a contract with Major League Soccer club, New York Red Bulls, his current club. 

On loan for Arsenal. After training with Arsenal during the MLS off-season, Henry re-signed a two-month loan deal on 6 January 2012. This is despite to some players being unavailable due to the African's Nation Cup.

He is also a father, was married to an English model Nicole Merry but then got divorced four years after the marriage.

As a footballer, Henry has received many plaudits and awards in his career. Being ranked ninth in the world in 2006, an example. He was the pride of Arsenal, still is. 

Thierry Henry, everyone! Enjoy some pictures below. Thanks for reading! ☺☺
