    ETHYL GASOLINE
    February 2, 1923 - General Motors Research Laboratories U.S.A.

    The first sale was made of anti-knock gasoline containing a tetra-ethyl lead compound. First sold at Willard Talbott's service station on S. Main Street in Dayton, Ohio, the fuel was called Ethyl (after its new additive, tetraethyl lead) and colored a distinctive red. This new formulation of ethyl gasoline was the the result of seven years of testing at least 33,000 compounds as additives to influence the combustion rate of the fuel. Previously, on hard acceleration, an engine sometimes made knocking, popping or crackling sounds. Knocking sapped power and could damage the engine. The suitability of tetra-ethyl lead, made from alcohol and lead, was the discovery of Thomas Midgely, Jr., of the General Motors Research Laboratories, located in Dayton. Decades later, the toxicity of the lead present in automobile emissions was recognized, and leaded gasoline is no longer sold.

    BABE RUTH
    February 2, 1936 - Baseball Hall of Fame

    Babe Ruth was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame on this day. He was a famous major league baseball player for the Boston Red Sox (1914-1919) and then the New York Yankees (1920-1934). He also played for the Boston Braves (now Atlanta Braves) during his last year as a player in 1935. During Ruth's career, he had achieved much, for instance, he ranked 3rd on the all-time home run list. Part of the reason why is because he achieved a record of 60 home runs in the year 1927. Babe Ruth was also the only player to hit three home runs in two World Series appearances (1926 and 1928).

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.
