    BICYCLE
    November 20, 1866 - U.S.A.

    The first U.S. patent on a rotary crank bicycle was issued to Pierre Lallemont of Paris, France (No. 59,915). With pedals applied directly to the front wheel, this so called velocipede ("fast foot") was a major advance on the old hobby horse bicycle that had to be pushed with the feet. It soon came to be known as "the bone shaker" because being made of stiff materials, straight angles and steel wheels, it gave a stiff ride over the cobblestone roads of the day. Soon indoor riding academies, similar to roller rinks, could be found in large cities. He rode on it from Ansonia, Conn. to the green at New Haven, Conn.

    SOLAR-POWERED FLIGHT
    November 20, 1980 - English Channel

    Steve Ptacek in Solar Challenger piloted its first solar-powered flight. The aircraft was designed and built by AeroVironment, Inc. (founded in 1971 by ultra-light airplane innovator, Dr. Paul MacCready). An earlier, 71-ft wingspan, solar-powered design, the Gossamer Penguin, after test flights, flew about 1.95 miles at a public demonstration on 7 Aug 1980. Solar Challenger built upon this experience to be a piloted, solar-powered aircraft strong enough to handle both long and high flights when encountering normal turbulence. With only a 46.5-ft wingspan, it had a huge horizontal stabilizer and had enough wing area for 16,128 solar cells. After design modifications, Ptacek flew across the English Channel flight on 7 July 1981.

    about Eyesight Myth and Fact

    Myth: Staring at a computer screen all day is harmful to the eyes. Fact: Spending the day staring at a screen can tire or strain your eyes, but it will not hurt them. Make sure lighting doesn't create a glare on your screen. When spending long periods at your keyboard, take a break now and then to rest your eyes to reduce fatigue. Also, don't forget to blink. Your eyes need to stay lubricated to feel comfortable. More vehicles
    about Stolen On New Year's

    More vehicles are stolen on New Year's Day than any other holiday throughout the year. (So does that mean thieves are having their last fling before changing their ways or are they trying for a big score to start the New Year?)

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.
