    THE FIRST IRON LUNG
    July 29, 1927 - United States

    (Electric Respirator) was installed at Bellevue hospital in New York for the post war polio epidemic. The first iron lung was developed at Harvard University by Phillip Drinker and Louis Agassiz Shaw built with two vacuum cleaners. The iron lung is a negative pressure machine which surrounds the patient's body except for the head, and alternates a negative atmospheric pressure with the ambient one, resulting in rhythmic expansion of the chest cage (and thus inhalation) in response to the negative extra thoracic pressure. During periods of ambient extrathoracic pressure, the lungs deflate. This type of machine is rarely used today.

    AMERICA'S FIRST ASPHALT PAVEMENT
    July 29, 1870

    Was laid in Newark, N.J. Previously, coal tar was used for many pavements laid in the 1860s. The first recorded asphalt pavement in the U.S. was a sand mix placed in front of the City Hall in Newark, N.J., in 1870. Edmund J. DeSmedt, a Belgian chemist (who became the inspector of asphalt and cements for the District of Columbia) held a U.S. patent for this asphalt paving method, granted on 31 May 1867. In that century most roads, even in cities, were wide dirt pathways, severely affected by weather. Smooth surfaced asphalt roads originally were for the benefit of bicyclists. By 1904, only 141 miles were surfaced, but commonplace by 1916. Natural asphalt deposits were originally used, but almost all of the asphalt used commercially is now made from petroleum.

    "...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.

Bodybuilding supplements are optional for anyone who wishes to obtain a body packed with muscles. Bodybuilding supplements is a definite classification of "nutritional supplements" which aims to aid the increase of muscle mass. Some examples of bodybuilding supplements are protein, multi-vitamin, ZMA, and growth hormone.
There are some who contradicts the use of bodybuilding supplements. Others are encouraging bodybuilders to try the natural way of increasing muscle mass without the use of a supplement.

1. Proper diet.

Proper diet and nourishment is needed for you to obtain a thriving bodybuilding plan. It will serve no good to you and your body if you tire yourself with rigorous training yet hunger yourself from nutrients which your body needs.

Maintaining a diet when you are on a bodybuilding program is essential. Again, you do not need to go on a "œhunger-strike." What you need to do is eat smaller yet frequent meals/snacks all through the day. It is also important to regulate the amount of food you will be consuming. Some bodybuilding experts recommend that 40% of your meal should be composed of carbohydrates, the other 40% is to be set aside for protein and the remaining 20% are for "good fats."
2. Exercise.

Exercise is the most ultimate task you need to undergo if you intend to have a bodybuilder's physique.

You are not to concentrate in one type of exercise. There are several types of bodybuilding exercises that you need to undertake so that you will gain lean muscle mass. Some recommended exercises to undertake are:

- Isolation exercise – this type of exercise involves only one “joint movement. "A Bicep curl is an example of this type of exercise.
- Multi-joint exercise“ this type of exercise is believed to increase muscle mass as well as heighten fat reduction.
- Free-weight exercise – this type of exercise lets your body move through your exercising space.

The type of exercises you should undertake will sometimes depend on your body type. It is best to consult a bodybuilding trainer concerning what exercises to do. If you have been given "exercises assignment" then you need to:

- Obtain a training journal. By doing so, you will be able to track your development.
- Provide "workout intensity" every time you perform training.
- Keep up with your schedule. It is recommended that you should not miss any "training day." Missing a day on bodybuilding will cost you a lot.

3. Rest.

Who said that you need to do bodybuilding training twenty-four hours a day? Even though you workout that much, you will never achieve a good bodybuilder's physique without obtaining rest.

Rest is an essential part of bodybuilding which is overlooked by many. Studies show that during sleep, muscle growth happens. It is also a time to recover all the lost-energy during workouts. It is best to follow the recommended sleep time which is at least eight hours a day.

It is also important to do necessary steps to get a good night sleep such as:

- Prepare your sleeping area the way you are comfortable with. However, it is best if the room is dim and cool.
- If there are unpreventable noises in your environment, it is best to use earplugs.
- Cut on substances with caffeine.
- Inform your housemates the need for you to get a good sleep.

With the above-mentioned factors equipped with discipline and perseverance, you will be able to achieve a bodybuilder's physique without even using supplements.
