    TRIMLINE TELEPHONE
    August 2, 1965 - Michigan, USA

    The trimline telephone was made available to all customers throughout the service area of Michigan Bell Telephone for an optional $1 monthly extra charge. The company had placed the first trimline telephone in service in the U.S. on 21 Oct 1963. The dial and a hang-up button were no longer on a remote base, but instead integrated into the handpiece, midway between the microphone and speaker. A call could thus be dialled from the handpiece alone. A call could thus be dialled from the handpiece alone, which was more convenient in the kitchen or while in bed. It was dramatically different in style from earlier telephones, developed with the industrial design firm Henry Dreyfuss Associates. In 1977, Fortune magazine selected it as one of the country's 25 best-designed products.

    FIRST NEW U.S. INTERSTATE HIGHWAY CONTRACT
    August 2, 1956 - Laclede County, Missouri, USA

    In 1956, the first new contract to build a section of the U.S. Interstate Highway system, awarded after the signing of the Highway-Aid Act of 1956, was for U.S. Route 66 in Laclede County, Missouri, which became Interstate 44. The Highway-Aid Act of 1956 established 90% federal funding for a System of Interstate and Defense Highways across the U.S., making it possible for States to afford construction of the important network of national limited-access highways. Other notable firsts related to the U.S. Interstate highways are claimed by the States of Pennsylvania (which has the oldest section of Interstate Highway, built 1 Oct 1940, years before the Highway Aid Act of 1956, but later part of the Interstate system) and Kansas, which began the first concrete paving under the Act, on 26 Sep 1956.

  • 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...."

Is only a "brand name" enough for you to trust the quality. Well, after using so many "Branded" gadgets, garments, accessories, etc, I found that the quality that they claim actually beats the functionality of the product. Talking about the expensive and flashy mobiles, it can be seen that they often hang whenever they are to be used in emergency.. Designer clothes cannot be trusted anymore to escape wardrobe malfunctioning... and the accessories in one of my friends' car needs more servicing than the car itself... Well, the point that I want to make here is that even after going through all these unwanted situations, people keep using these things and remain skeptical for the new market and the small industries, which could provide the better quality at much economical rates.

Its the prejudice borne out of the skeptic outlook that people have created for new things, mixed with the false illusion created by the "Brand Names" that stops one from entering a new and challenging area. In the brand name niche, the irony is not only the low brand awareness of the small industries, but the Big Organizations are also troubled by the nuisance created by the Gray market. A few brand conscious minds are often trapped by these markets, which are highly vulnerable to counterfeiting. The intent is only to fool the naive buyer who only looks at the label and doesn't know what the real thing looks like and to earn a good amount from them. Thus, the Brand fanatics must understand that where they are spending millions, is actually worth only a few peanuts.

The catch is to identify the true quality and getting yourself out of this vicious circle of counterfeit.

Talking about the e-business niche, for many seasoned entrepreneurs and customers, identifying the real quality is still a child's play. They have several foolproof tools and techniques for testing the quality of a product and service. However, they too remain unaware or uncertain of certain things like "Offshoring" or are just not sure of investing on small organizations. While the fact is that the Small Organizations always dream Big and their plans and processes are more practical than hollow talks and are based on ethical values and integrity. Besides, the client has the privilege to test the organization's "Online promises" (services), their own way!

A small country makes a perfect impression on big countries of getting good business from Outsourcing. Thus, India is considered as a perfect window for outsourcing. Industries offering outsourcing and offshore services fall in the array of e-business tough competition. Now, a small country and then a small Organization in a small town! What makes it an ideal choice for offshore business. Well, in economical terms, that, what makes India a better place for it, is what makes a small town in India, serves the same purpose even more economically. Easy!

Such organizations (in India) are like 'Sun' (rising from East and setting in West) and seems to have a bright future. Just a little low brand awareness doesn't deserve to subdue the potential of these organizations to grow.

Like our own Organization, which is into Offshore Software development, with quality to compete and where Operational cost is no competition. We have a strong and skilled Technical workforce and have been delivering quality services to our Clients. We are at growing stage and have already set up our goodwill and have won immense faith of our clients in US, UK, Sweden, Ireland etc.

Its completely my learning from the experience working with Evon Technologies that nothing could beat the policy of keeping with your promise of delivering "good quality services" on the right time, at economical cost, right from the first phase of the development... And maintaining the same policy all the way is alone sufficient for a fast and steady growth!
