    PACKARD FIRST ROAD TEST
    November 6, 1899 - Warren, Ohio, U.S.A.

    James Packard and his brother, William Doud Packard, had finished building a car of their own design, and gave it a road test on the streets of Warren, Ohio. As a mechanical engineer, when he was dissatisfied the Winton car he had had bought, and gave his criticsms to the manufacturer, it is said that Alexander Winton gave him a curt reply suggesting that he build his own, if he thought he could do better. It took fourteen months for the Packard brothers, with two men hired from Winton, to produce what became known as the Packard Model A. It had high wire wheels, was steered by a tiller rather than a wheel, and was powered by a single-cylinder engine under the seat. Packard had invented the automatic spark advance as an improvement. He sold the car for $1250, and thus began in business.

    MOTORWAY M1
    November 6, 1959 - England, UK

    The first two deaths occurred on England's first motorway, the M1. It had been opened only four days earlier on 2 Nov 1959. Two lorry drivers died when they crashed into the back of vehicles halted by a minor crash. In the multiple-vehicle crash which occurred in thick fog, five persons were injured. The new superhighway without a speed limit had traffic jams in both directions for several hours. It was the first part of a planned 400-mile motorway network that was the greatest road transport improvement project since the famous straight roads the Romans built. It was a quarter-century late by international standards, but its design benefitted from knowledge gained from expressways already built in the U.S. and Europe.

  • 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, Gaylord Nelson

    "...The wealth of the nation is its air, water, soil, forests, minerals, rivers, lakes, oceans, scenic beauty, wildlife habitats and biodiversity that'as all there is. That'as the whole economy. That'as where all the economic activity and jobs come from. These biological systems are the sustaining wealth of the world...."

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.
