    FRENCH SOLAR POWER PLANT
    January 25, 1977 - Odeillo in the Pyranees of southwestern France

    France inaugurated its first operational solar generating plant at Odeillo in the Pyranees of southwestern France. Its output of 64 kilowatts (sufficient to power about 1,000 60-watt light bulbs), was connected to the national electricity grid to demonstrate operational solar power. The plant was part of the huge solar furnace project run by the National Center for Scientific Research. The site was built for high-temperature research using an eight-story parabolic mirror to refocus sunlight from an extensive field of mirrors on a hillside in front of it, with 63 moveable mirror arrays designed to follow the motion of the sun. The electricity was generated by a turbo-alternator driven by steam from a boiler at the focus of the reflected sunlight. Alignment of the mirrors began in May 1969.

    FLUORIDATION
    January 25, 1945 - Grand Rapids, Mich. U.S.A.

    Grand Rapids, Mich., became the first U.S. city to begin fluoridating the drinking water. With the intention of reducing tooth decay, one part per million of fluoride was added to the water supply. Fluorine is the 13th most abundant element on earth, found in nature in its ionic form - fluoride - in combination with other elements, such as calcium, magnesium, phosphates etc. This fluoride is present in small yet varying amounts in almost all soils, water supplies, plants, and animals and, therefore, is a normal constituent of all diets. In mammals, the highest concentrations are found in the bones and teeth. Decades after the conclusion of the Grand Rapids fluoridation study, fluoride continues to be dental science's main weapon in the battle against tooth decay.

  • A Change is Gonna Come
    by Meredith Grey

    "...Change; we don't like it, we fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change, or we get left behind. It hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn't is lying. But here's the truth: Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Sometimes change is everything...."

    by Earth Day, Kenya

In a fast pace era where technology changes in every snap of a finger and almost three fourths of the population is depending on the internet in every possible way hoping it might fasten their daily chores or lessen their boredom and for entertainment, one of the industries that is most booming is the Online Casino, also known as virtual casinos or internet casinos, that offers online gambling with poker rooms and bingo rooms twenty four hours a day seven times a week using excellent graphics and themes. All a person needs is a computer a fast internet connection a quick casino download and a quick deposit using any of your bank account offered and accepted in the online casino. After this you will have an online experience that rivals the excitement of being in Vegas in the comfort of your own space anywhere in the world.

Online Casinos are divided in groups depending on the interface, these are the web base online casinos where a user can play games without downloading the software into a local computer and the download based online casinos where a user is asked to download the software in order to play a game.

People will always gamble and this activity cannot be stopped, that's the reason why there are a lot of online casinos that offers a high paying bonuses for first time users and to those players who subsequently plays well. There is also a customer support and the games is updated regularly. There are also websites that offers a no deposit required upon sign up. This means that a player can play with the casinos money without betting a single dollar from their wallets, however, if the player looses you cant just walk away, but if you win, you can get all the money you have made. Some websites also offers a no prohibition against any player regardless of age and country using a virtual money, but if a player wants to earn real money it is important that the player is at least more than 21 years of age and encourages players whose laws forbid bet online to refrain from playing.

Most online casinos offers a fast promotion and programs where a player can win prizes. Some promotions includes tournaments, bonus from inviting friends and many different things each day. Casinos may label their players using bonuses as ?bonus abusers?. Every player in every casino may commit fraud as well as the online casinos themselves. One of the examples of a player fraud is by creating multiple user accounts for the hope of claiming sign up bonuses. As for the casino fraud they change the terms of a bonus once a player has completed the requirements required for a player to claim his bonus.

Although there are some countries that prohibit the use of casinos and forbids bet as a respect in their religion or prohibits electronic transmission of information for sports betting across telecommunications lines many will still play to win or for entertainment purposes.
