View from the Window at le Gras (also known as "The World's First Photograph"), Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, c. 1826.
Niépce with being the first to permanently capture an optical image.
Niépce's biggest breakthrough came in 1822, when he created a permanent image by exposing coated pewter plates to a camera image, using the vapors from heated iodine crystals to darken the silver.

The exposure time for the first photo lasted eight hours -- so the sun had time to move from east to west, appearing to shine on both sides of the building.

Once upon a time a man appeared in a village and
announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys
for $10 each.

The villagers
seeing
many monkeys
around,
started catching them.
The man bought thousands
supply
started to diminish, the villagers stopped
He next announced

at $20 each
they started catching monkeys again.
Soon the supply diminished
and people
back to their farms
offer increased
to $25 each
supply of monkeys became so
scarce it was an effort to even find a monkey
The man now
would buy monkeys
at $50 each!
he had to go to the city
his assistant would buy on his behalf
the assistant told the villagers:
‘Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man
has already collected. I will sell them to you at $35 and
when the man returns from the city, you can sell them
to him for $50 each.’
The villagers rounded up all their savings and bought
all the monkeys for 700 billion dollars.

They never saw the man or his assistant again, only
lots and lots of monkeys!

17 year old helps send 400 stoves to Darfur

clipped from edition.cnn.com
The $30 stoves help keep Darfur's women safe by reducing their time away from the refugee camps.

People living in the camps are relatively safe, but there is danger for the women and young girls who leave the compounds in search of firewood to cook meals. Firewood in the desert is scarce, and the women often have to walk up to seven hours to gather enough wood to bring back to their camps. Some women have been targeted, sexually assaulted and killed.

Spencer Brodsky, 17, learned about the violence and decided to raise money to purchase fuel-efficient stoves to send to Darfur. The stoves burn 75 percent less firewood.

At $30 per stove, Brodsky has raised enough money to ship 420 stoves to Darfur.

"These women are so grateful for this initiative and actually thankful to the American people who are so passionate to let these women know that there is help out there," Mohamed said.
