    SWEDEN FIRST RELEASE OF LINUX
    August 25, 1991 - Sweden

    Linus Torvalds releases his first version of the Linux operating system kernel (0.01 of Linux)" called 'Freax' in the makefile to the world and announces it through a Usenet posting on a newsgroup which could be found on the ftp server at the Helsinki University of Technology (HUT). The Linux operating system is a Unix-like operating system kernel and is distributed under GNU General Public License. The original kernel was based on earlier work done by Richard Stallman on the GNU Project, started in 1984. The majority of the servers on the internet I.E.

    NEW STEAM CAR LAND SPEED RECORD
    August 25, 2009 - California, U.S.A.

    A new steam-powered car land speed was broken, for the first time in over a century. In two trials, Charles Burnett III reached 136 mph (136 km/h) and 151 mph (243 km/h) in. The previous record was over a century old, set by Fred Marriott on 26 Jan 1906, in a Stanley Steamer racing car. Burnett drove a British-built car named Inspiration at the Edwards Air Force Base in California, U.S.A. The 25-ft long, 3-ton car burned liquid petroleum gas to create 400°C steam from 12 suitcase-sized boilers. The steam drove a two-stage turbine at 13,000 rpm which powered the wheels. The design was an outgrowth of a 1997 student project at Suthampton University. Setting a record requires two trials in opposite direction to average out any wind effect.

  • 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?)

All roads lead to Rome, and it's easy to see why. No history book would be complete without a chapter on Rome. It is a city so thoroughly soaked in culture and history you cannot walk more than ten meters and not run into sights you frequently see in textbooks and documentaries.

So go ahead, book a flight for Rome. Walk down avenues as old as the Colosseum, and when the city has gotten under your skin and you find yourself not wanting to leave, don't. Rome is a good city to fall in love with. It won't break your heart to stay. The rental flats Rome has to offer are easy on the heartstrings and the pocket.

Rome has a glut of lodging options, spanning the entire budget range and running the gamut from the practical to the sinfully indulgent. You think it, Rome has it. From hotels, resorts, bed and breakfast, and rental flats, Rome offers the weary traveler a comfy place to call home.

Vacation Rental: The Concept

In recent years, the practice known as vacation rental has gained popularity. Fully furnished flats or houses are temporarily leased to tourists. The arrangement is more long-term than a hotel stay because while hotels charge guests on a daily basis, rental flats, Rome-based ones most specifically, had a fixed price during an entire holiday period. Sometimes, landlords impose a limitation on the maximum number of guests allowed.

Why Choose Rental Flats?

The rental flats Rome proffers to visitors provide a practical means for saving money. Rental flats can be very cheap, particularly when you are traveling with your family or in a group. The more people who will split the bill afterwards, the higher the savings are. In some cases, you can save as much as 60% on accommodation expenses.

There's another advantage to staying in a rented apartment. Through rental flats, Rome and its culture can pervade the ordinary tourist's life. What better way to get to know a city and its people if not from the inside of a Roman home?

Additionally, most rental flats are located close to the magnificent structures the city is famous for. You can thereby explore the city at your leisure, and discover its charms at your own pace and in your own time.

Getting that Roman Holiday

If you plan to visit Rome, talk to your travel agent. Solicit his advice. It's highly likely he will offer you a pre-planned package option along with his advice. Be warned, though, that holiday travel packages are not always the most reasonably priced options in the market. To save money, you could plan your trip yourself. Many online sites, such as http://www.Holiday4You.com to provide you with the information you need to plan your vacations efficiently and effectively.

It is very easy to fall in love with a city as beautiful and historically significant as Rome. In fact, when the great German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe visited Rome for the first time, he enthused, "In Rome, I have found myself for the first time. I now realize all the dreams of my youth."

Goethe fell in love with the city. If we give the city half a chance, so would we.
