    MOTORCYCLE
    November 10, 1885 - Cannstatt, Unterturkheim

    The world's first motorcycle, designed by Gottlieb Daimler, made its first significant test-run. Daimler's 17-year-old son, Paul, travelled from Cannstatt to Unterturkheim and back. Their “Reitwagen” had a wooden frame and wheels. A leather drive belt ran between the engine and large brass gears on the rear wheel. With no suspension on the wheels, the leather saddle gave a very uncomfortable ride, at a speed up to 12 km/hr. The single cylinder engine had a bore of 58mm, stroke of 100mm and a displacement of 264cc's. The engine gave 0.5hp at 700 rpm. Two very much smaller, spring-mounted outrigger wheels provided some stability. This was built as an experimental vehicle to test the new Daimler engine in a proof of concept, which was to power Daimler's first motorized carriage the following year.

    COMMERCIAL ATOMIC ENERGY
    November 10, 1960 - U.S.A.

    The first commercial atomic energy reactor, and the third in the U.S., produced power for distribution. This was the $57 million Yankee Atomic Electric Company's plant at Rowe, Mass., on the Deerfield River. The reactor achieved self-sustaining nuclear reaction on 19 Aug 1960. The pressurized light-water reactor produced 125,000 kilowatts of electricity. The company was formed by twelve New England utility companies which signed a contract with the Westinghouse Corporation as the principal contractor. It was permanently shut down on 26 Feb 1992, due to reactor vessel embrittlement, after more than 31 years of service. Decommissioning began in 1993.

  • 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...."
  • The Revolution
    by John Adams

This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people, was the real American Revolution...."

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.
