    November 8, 2006 - U.S.A.

    Keith Ellison, a Democrat, has become the first Muslim to be elected to the US Congress by winning a Minnesota seat in the House of Representatives. He reached this political milestone by defeating two other candidates in Minnesota's 5th Congressional District, which covers the Minneapolis area.

    ELECTRIC PLUG
    November 8, 1904 - U.S.A.

    The first U.S. patent for a separable electric attachment plug was issued to inventor and manufacturer Harvey Hubbell of Bridgeport, Connecticut (No. 774,250). One part adapted the Edison screw socket to provide its own double-slotted receptable now familiar throughout North America. Into it, a separate double flat-prong plug could be slipped. This solved the problem of twisted wires caused with a screw connection. Small slots reduced the chance of a dangerous shock. Thus, with a two-prong plug on any electric device, "œelectrical power in buildings may be utilized by persons having no electrical knowledge or skill." On 11 Aug 1896 he had patented the pull-chain switch light socket (No. 565541). His manufacturing company, Harvey Hubbell Inc. exists today.
