...America was its ideal location. During this time period, maritime technology was testing out oceanic navigation in the countries of Asia, African and Europe. The trips were more well planned and longer voyages could be completed due to advancing oceanic technology (Blaut,181). Technology was similar among the countries due to the continental "crisscross diffusion" which spread ideas from region to region (Blaut,181). When it became time to explore the western hemisphere the Europeans did have one advantage, location. Due to geography, America was more accessible from "Iberian ports" (Blaut,182). Many voyages did not complete their journey due to unforeseen sailing conditions. However, the Europeans were lucky to benefit from the trade winds. "Columbus knew the advantages of the trade winds and saw they would assist his travels to be outbound northward into the westerlies"...

...country had an amazing invention, then the other society would be at a disadvantage. So instead they could take that invention and change it or use it so that each society will be equal. Diamond also tells us that if the countries were bigger it was easily for inventional diffusion to take place because of how one invention can be changed leading to another invention, which leads to another. He then expands on how food production had a great influence on technology and how food was the foundation for society and growth for the lifestyle. Response: A lot of historians agree with Jared Diamond and his opinions, including Tom Tomlinson and J.R McNeil, but also some such as James Blaut, disagreed with him J.R mostly agreed with Diamonds views but thought that Diamond used geography as a reason too much. Blaut disagreed with Diamond because he brought up theory of environmental determinism and said that Diamond should have described what he meant more because he was leading readers to think that Western Europe the reason why so many technological advances happened in the Middle East. Diamond does not have many errors or opinions in his views. He mostly just backed up his views with facts and real life events. The main problem with his writing is that he doesn’t seem to know the real historical past on what happened so like J.R said he uses his own "geographical past” too much. I thought it was very interesting how one inventor could be the start of a long train of inventions. Technically...

...Framköllun B&W filmu Í þessu ferli er mikilvægt að ekkert ljós komist að filmunni. Þá er best að vera í alveg gjörsamlega myrkvuðu herbergi eða þar til gerðum myrkapokum. Þess vegna er nauðsynlegt að hafa allt við höndina áður en ljósið er slökkt. Þessir hlutir eru: • Myrkrapoki eða almyrkvað herbergi • Filman • Filmuupptakari fyrir 35mm filmu • Skæri fyrir 35mm filmu • Spírall • Ljóshelt box með trekt og staut til að setja spíralinn upp á • Lok Athugaðu að spírallinn sé rétt settur saman, það er að hökin þar sem filman er sett inn snúi að hvoru öðru,og að kúlurnar sem mjaka filmunni inn sé lausar og liðugar og að hjólið sé ekki stíft. Ef boxið er ætlað fyrir fleiri en eina filmu þarf að setja tóma spírala á stautinn til að fylla upp í boxið. Þetta er til þess að filman liggi örugglega böðuð í vökva. Það þarf að vera búið að athuga hvort filman passi ekki örugglega upp á spíralinn og hvort spírallinn passi á stautinn. Hægt er að breyta stærð flestra spírala með því að snúa þeim í sundur og toga út/ýta inn. Filman þrædd 35mm filmuboxið er opnað varlega með filmubox upptakaranum. Passa þarf að filman rekist ekki í brúnir boxins þar sem yfirborð hennar er mjög viðkvæmt og rispast auðveldlega. Endi filmunnar er síðan klipptur þannig brúnirnar verði ávalar og alveg mjúkar. (Gripkanturinn líka.) 120mm filma er ekki í boxi. Það er hinsvegar pappírsræma á hluta filmunnar. Best að er fjarlægja pappírinn þegar filman er aðeins farin að mjakast upp á spíralinn. Endinn...
