August 19, 1839 - France
August 19, 1839 - France
Louis Daguerre announced the invention of the daguerreotype photographic process, the first process to allow an image to be chemically fixed as a permanent picture. On 7 Jan 1839 an announcement was made of the discovery, but details were not divulged until 19 Aug, when the process was announced publicly, and the French government having bought the rights to the process from him, freely gave them to the world. However, this process had also been patented in England and Wales on 14 Aug 1839, only five days previously.

The Google IPO ( initial public offering ) raises US$1.67 billion.

The IPO in 2004 offered 19,605,052 shares at a price of US$85 per share ( current share price $ 482.13 August 2008 ) but they have traded up as high as $700 in 2007.

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 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.

No matter what else you are doing from cradle days through
to the end, You're writing your Life's secret story, Each night sees another page penned.
Each month ends a thirty day chapter, Each year sees the end
of a part, And never an Act is Mis-Stated, Nor even a wish of the Heart.
Each morn when you wake, the Book opens, Revealing a page
clean and white, What thoughts and what words and what doings will cover it's surface by night ?
Good leaves that to you, You're the writer, And never one word will grow dim, Until someday you'll write the word FINISHED, And give your Life's Book Back To Him.
"GOD BLESS"
