    COMPUTER PUMP
    November 22, 1932 - U.S.A.

    The first U.S. patent for a computer pump was issued to the inventors, Robert J. Jauch, Ivan R. Farnham and Ross H. Arnold for their "Liquid Dispensing Apparatus" (No. 1,888,533). Their motorized pump both metered and displayed the exact gallons of gasoline or other liquid dispensed, and also accurately computed and showed the price in dollars and cents while delivery was made. The internal totalizer could be easily reset for any new price per gallon. It solved the problems of inaccurate delivery of volume from a visible type dispenser, and its necessary ready-reckoning card with quantity and cost tables, which needed a new card when prices changed. The Wayne Co., Fort Wayne, Indiana, marketed it from 1 Nov 1931.

    CANADIAN TV SHOWS BUZZARD COULEE METEOR FOOTAGE
    November 22, 2008 - Canada

    Footage of the large meteor that streaked across western Canada is broadcast on Canadian television. The meteor was seen on November 20th, and broadcast on 22nd. The video was filmed from a local police car, and showed a small light turning into a massive fireball as it fell from the sky and appeared to hit the Earth. Over the next seven days more than one thousand meteorite fragments were collected from the 10-tonne fireball, among them are two 13 kg fragments, scientists named the meteor Buzzard Coulee after the oldest-named geographic feature in the fall area.

  • The wealth of the nation
    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...."
  • 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...."

    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?)

ARTICLE INFORMATION :

The article concentrated upon technological advances that favourably influenced the efficacy of office work, and features a PDF splitting software package as one of the solutions to document handling.

ARTICLE CONTENT :

We live in the time of fast development. Because of the recent technical advances in the IT sphere, office work is no longer the same as it used to be several years ago, with piles of paper documents here and there around the office. Documents, undeniably, adversely impacted on the efficacy of a firm and it took office staff a good deal of time and effort to manage them. At present the days of paper-cluttered offices are gone. There are no more 'in' and 'out' boxes piled up with paper files. Everything is now computerised and kept in the form of a database.

No wonder that advanced software programmes are introduced daily to optimise the office work. These up-to-date programmes do not only do work much quicker, but also much easier. Most files are stored in the PDF format, since it has got plenty of benefits over others. PDF files are smaller and can be protected with encryption and password security tools. The PDF application is a compatible format. As a consequence, a user can share and get data from colleagues efficiently.

PDF files can range from a single-page file to more composite files, such as brochures, information sheets, white papers and technical instructions, some containing hundreds of pages, which makes them hard to handle. Now and then, you may wish to print or e-mail a couple of pages from a PDF document or to extract several pages into a new PDF papers leaving the master file intact. A solution is to use a PDF splitter software package. This kind of software is user-friendly. It allows you to select your master (or input) PDF document and apply a splitting pattern to obtain the output document(s).

Some advanced software packages include a customised splitting option, similar to Word printing pattern. Here is an example: 1,2,3; 1-5,3; 4-5. This will result in three output files. The first one will include pages number 1, 2 and 3. The second PDF file will have pages one to five and page three. The third one will include only pages four and five. It takes a few mouse clicks to extract pages from PDF documents and does not need expertise. A step-by-step direction is provided by manufacturers.
