    FIRST U.S. PATENT
    July 31, 1790 - USA

    Patent was granted to Samuel Hopkins of Vermont for a process for making potash and pearl ashes. Potash was important as an ingredient in soap and fertilizer. The patent was granted for a term of 14 years and signed by President George Washington, who had the previous month signed the first U.S. patent statute into law on 10 April 1790. Hopkins did not get Patent with a serial No.1 as thousands of patents were issued before the Patent Office began to number them. Congress had passed the Patent Act on 10 Apr 1790. Two other patents were granted that year - one for a new candle-making process and the other the flour-milling machinery of Oliver Evans. The next year, 1791, Samuel Hopkins also was granted the first Canadian patent.

    IRON RAILWAY BRIDGE COLLAPSE
    July 31, 1849 - Pennsylvania, USA

    Near Mast Hope, Pennsylvania, collapsed as a stock train was crossing. The engineer heard a loud cracking, pulled the throttle wide open, and succeeded in getting the engine across in safety. However, the rest of the train fell into the deep ravine of the Westcolang Creek along with the wrecked bridge. A brakeman and two stockmen lost their lives. The New York and Erie Railroad had that year experimented by building three iron bridges, including the one that failed. In 1850, an article in the Scientific American magazine reported that the company, having lost confidence in iron bridges, would tear down the two remaining and replace them with wooden structures.

  • 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...."
  • No Man is Above the Law
    by Theodore Roosevelt

    "..."No man is above the law and no man is below it; nor do we ask any man's permission when we require him to obey it. Obedience to the law is demanded as a right; not asked as a favor."..."

ARTICLE CONTENT :

You don't want to miss any opportunity of being too sad and depressed to miss out on a relationship that may be even better than the one you just had? I know there are many qualities about you right now that are very lovable. You are still a beautiful, unique and special person who has another special person out there waiting for you no matter what you may be currently thinking. So always be prepared, and remember in order to get love, we need to give it out first.

The sooner you can do this, the better you will help make the rest of the world without even knowing it. These can be both internal and external, so please make a list of at least 5 of each now. You also want to show the person who broke up with you, that you are a survivor, and they will be much more jealous of you if you're pretending the break up worked in your favor. After a break up, you are probably looking for something that can relate to how you're feeling at the moment, like sad love poems. Looking for sad love poems after a break up? This should make you feel better and give you more hope for love in the future. If you believe that someone doesn't deserve it, then reflect it elsewhere to friends and family.

Instead, go and visit friends or family and remember that you still have plenty of love to give no matter how painful it can be when someone rejects our love. Well, nearly everyone. You don't have to anymore. So hold your head high stand and walk tall, and smile, because you never know who may be watching you as you never know who the next person who finds you attractive may be? If you are sad from a break up and been searching for Sad Love Poems or sad love songs?

Depending on the circumstances of the break up, you will still need to dig deep and find that love you have stored away, and find someone to share it with. You probably think that reading and writing them are going to make you feel better, or at least they might be able to sympathize with you or be similar to your situation. Get involved in the community and help out elderly, children or animals. Break ups of all sorts happen to everyone. Nobody is perfect and there are many reasons for a variety of conflicts within a relationship, but you still have a lot of love inside you that you need to give. They?re not!

Most of them happen to try and make us stronger, to see how well we can handle it. With disease and depression on the rise, we need to learn to snap out of it. If we can't see what there is to love about ourselves, then how can we expect someone else to find love in us? From the majority of break ups that happen from relationships, it normally had to happen so you could get involved with one that is even better. So don't cut off the circulation of love going around the universe. Snap out of it! A lot of people forget how much we need to love ourselves in order for other people to love us as well. After a break of any sort, especially if it was a tough one, we tend to get depressed and start looking for sad love poems, sad love songs, Hate Poems and similar other things to remind us that other people went through the same thing.

There is still a lack of love in the world today, and we can start by giving it to more people who do need it, by starting with ourselves.
