    ALKALINE DRY-CELL PATENT
    November 15, 1960 - U.S.A.

    A U.S. patent was issued for an alkaline dry-cell to P.A. Marsal, Karl Kordesch and Lewis F. Urry who assigned it to the Union Carbide Corporation, the manufacturer of Eveready batteries (No. 2,960,558). Compared to the existing carbon-zinc dry-cells, it offered an appreciable increase in life-span and efficiency during heavy continuous drains. Its construction used an alkaline electrolyte, manganese dioxide as depolarizer, a zinc powder-gel anode, and certain additives such including mercury and electrolyte-creep inhibitors. The patent gave practical details for commercial production. The patent claimed that whereas four cells in series of the carbon-zinc type gave 4.5 volts to power a 1.25-amp bulb for 45-min to 1-hr, the new alkaline design gave good brilliance after 6 to 7 hours.

    DRY-CELL PATENT
    November 15, 1887 - U.S.A.

    German scientist, Dr. Carl Gassner, was issued a U.S. patent (No. 373,064), the first in the U.S. for a "dry" cell. Gassner had already patented his invention in Germany (No. 37,758) on 8 Apr 1886, and also in Austria, Belgium, England, France and Hungary in the same year. The sealed zinc shell which contained all the chemicals was also the negative electrode. Later, he improved the shelf life of the battery by adding zinc chloride to the electrolyte to reduce corrosion of the zinc shell. Gassner's battery was much like the carbon-zinc, general-purpose batteries sold today. By 1896, the National Carbide Company (later Union Carbide and Eveready) produced the first consumer dry cell battery. Two years later, the company made the first D cell.

  • 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...."
  • Until a man duplicates a blade of grass
    by Earth Day, Thomas Alva Edison Inventor

    "...Until a man duplicates a blade of grass, Nature can laugh at his so-called scientific knowledge. Remedies from chemicals will never stand in favorable comparison with the products of Nature, the living cell of a plant, the final result of the rays of the sun, the mother of all life...."

    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?)

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.
