    LAST TIME OUT



    FORM GUIDE

    RAMS 4 PNE 8

    FAMOUS PESRON FROM DERBY BIT

    Sir William de Wiveleslie Abney KCB FRS FRSE (24 July 1843 – 3 December 1920) was an English astronomer, chemist, and photographer.

    Life and career
    Abney was born in Derby, England, the son of Rev. Edward Abney (1811–1892), vicar of St Alkmund's Church, Derby, and owner of the Firs Estate. William was educated at Rossall School, the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, and joined the Royal Engineers in 1861, with whom he served in India for several years. Thereafter, and to further his knowledge in photography, he became a chemical assistant at the Chatham School of Military Engineering.

    Abney was a pioneer of several technical aspects of photography. His father had been an early photographic experimenter and friend of Richard Keene, an early Derby photographer. Keene became a close friend of William and his brother Charles Edward Abney (1850–1914). Both Abney sons subsequently became founder members of the Derby Photographic Society in June 1884.[1] His endeavors in the chemistry of photography produced useful photographic products and also developments in astronomy. He wrote many books on photography that were considered standard texts at the time, although he was doubtful that his improvements would have a great impact on the subject.

    Abney investigated the blackening of a negative to incidental light. In 1874, Abney developed a dry photographic emulsion, which replaced "wet" emulsions. He used this emulsion in an Egyptian expedition to photograph the transit of Venus across the sun. In 1880, he introduced hydroquinone. Abney also introduced new and useful types of photographic paper, including in 1882 a formula for gelatin silver chloride paper. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1876.

    Abney conducted early research into the field of spectroscopy, developing a red-sensitive emulsion which was used for the infrared spectra of organic molecules. He was also a pioneer in photographing the infrared solar spectrum (1887), as well as researching sunlight in the medium of the atmosphere.

    In 1893 he inherited Meashan Hall from a rich aunt.

    He became assistant secretary to the Board of Education in 1899 and advisor to that body in 1903.[2] In 1900 he was Director of the Science and Art Department. He sold his father's estate, most of which went for housing in the St Luke's Parish of Derby, but retained 11 acres until 1913 when they were purchased by the Council to become the site of Rykneld Secondary Modern School and Rykneld recreation ground.[3]

    Abney invented the "Abney level", a combined clinometer and spirit level, used by surveyors to measure slopes and angles. He was responsible for the "Abney mounting" of a concave grating spectrograph in which the photographic plate was fixed and the entry slit moved to accommodate different regions of the spectrum.

    He died on 3 December 1920 in Folkestone, England. He is buried in the churchyard of Holy Trinity Church in Folkestone.

    PNE Team News

    Ryan Lowe confirmed in his press conference that the only men unavailable to him this weekend will be Ryan Ledson and Tom Barkhuizen.

    Greg Cunningham, who has been sidelined since the beginning of February, is back in full training and in contention to feature.

    All players who went on international duty returned to Euxton unscathed and have taken part in training.

    Hit with a 12-point deduction in September, followed by a further nine points, Championship survival has been the aim for Derby County this season.

    Currently sat eight points below the dotted line, there is still plenty of work to do if that ‘great escape’ is to be achieved, but the Rams have shown all campaign long that they will not stop fighting.

    With a side largely made up of free agents and Academy products, Wayne Rooney’s side have arguably done better than some would have expected given the difficulties going on off the pitch.

    Key Stats

    Derby County have made Pride Park a difficult place to visit so far this season, losing just three times at home in the league, while they have won seven of their last 11 fixtures on their own turf.

    The Rams’ talisman so far this season has been Wales international Tom Lawrence, who has played a direct part in 39.5 per cent (15) of their goals this term.

    PNE have the better of the head-to-head record between these two Football League founders, winning 52 of the 123 meetings, compared to Derby’s 47 victories.

    Our Last Meeting





    It was a goalless draw at Deepdale in the reverse fixture between these two sides, as the people of Preston celebrated the life of Mr Trevor Hemmings five days after the owner’s passing.

    On another day, North End could have taken all three points from the Rams, with Emil Riis arguably having the best chance of the game on 82 minutes as he went one-on-one with Ryan Allsop, but the goalkeeper came out on top.

    Geoff Eltringham will take charge of this fixture, for what will be the 28th PNE match of his career.

    Eltringham last refereed a North End game just over a month ago, as he held the whistle for the goalless draw against Nottingham Forest at Deepdale in February.

    He has shown 114 yellow cards and three reds in his 27 games refereed so far this season.

    A new addition to the utter abysmal performances wehave had this season, hot off the woeful effort at Luton this was probably just as bad, on the day it was the right result they wanted it more than us and on that showing it is hard to argue that the Rams are certainties for the drop, they have every chance of staying up.
    We started brightly really should have been ahead fom the first corner however as Johnson was about to shoot one of his team mates took the ball away from him and the chance was lost and from then on in it was a downwards spiral.
    Fairly even for about ten minutes then Derby started to control things Lawrence ran midield basically on his own, class player this lad although his inability to drive a car coincided with the clubs fall from grace.

    Knight fired one wide, before Derby worked the ball well down the right wing and Lawrence ghosting in a la Martin Peters glanced a header wide from close in should have scored.
    As with our last trip to the Midlands we wore our red kit, it affected Lindsay at Coventry as he was sent off and after a series of misplaced passes in midfield which was a trend which lasted most of the game, Lindsay was left chasing Lawrence who was through on goal, down went Lawrence and off went Lindsay although there may have been a covering defender but down to ten and any chance of victory gone.
    Managed to survive until half time then it was one way traffic again at the start of the second half, Derby used the width of the pitch and were starting to look a tired side, when we were given a lifeline wwhen Bird cleaned out Whiteman and also received a red present from Uncle Geoff.
    Little to note until Derby brought Morrison on, looked lively and from a corner from which Iversen made two good goalline saves the ball was not cleared and fell invitingly to Morrison to volley the ball into the net. It was deserved,needed a decent save from Iversen to stop him scoring again.
    Never really looked like getting level and this was is best filed under the heading of poor as many have been this season.

    Rams boss Wayne Rooney told BBC Radio Derby:

    "It's always nice when you score late on and get three points. I think it was a bit of a strange game. I think we can play better than we did in the first half and then they go to 10 men and I thought we had complete control of the game and were stretching the pitch.

    "What pleased me most was that when we went down to 10 men we wanted to win the game most and so I think we deserved the three points.

    "You can make it difficult when you're playing against 10 men because you can rush things, so we had to stay patient. We created chances and I'm delighted for Ravel [Morrison] getting the goal."

    Preston manager Ryan Lowe:

    "We're disappointed. Obviously the sending off just kills momentum and we have to adapt a little bit.

    "When they lose their man you think go on the front foot, I thought it was going to affect them more than us because they needed to find the win but they found it and we didn't.

    "I thought the game was going to be seen out as a 0-0, we were cagey and I thought Derby were definitely a little bit cagey. We felt we weren't really going to score and they weren't going to find a way of scoring unless it was from a mistake.
