    TRIMLINE TELEPHONE
    August 2, 1965 - Michigan, USA

    The trimline telephone was made available to all customers throughout the service area of Michigan Bell Telephone for an optional $1 monthly extra charge. The company had placed the first trimline telephone in service in the U.S. on 21 Oct 1963. The dial and a hang-up button were no longer on a remote base, but instead integrated into the handpiece, midway between the microphone and speaker. A call could thus be dialled from the handpiece alone. A call could thus be dialled from the handpiece alone, which was more convenient in the kitchen or while in bed. It was dramatically different in style from earlier telephones, developed with the industrial design firm Henry Dreyfuss Associates. In 1977, Fortune magazine selected it as one of the country's 25 best-designed products.

    FIRST NEW U.S. INTERSTATE HIGHWAY CONTRACT
    August 2, 1956 - Laclede County, Missouri, USA

    In 1956, the first new contract to build a section of the U.S. Interstate Highway system, awarded after the signing of the Highway-Aid Act of 1956, was for U.S. Route 66 in Laclede County, Missouri, which became Interstate 44. The Highway-Aid Act of 1956 established 90% federal funding for a System of Interstate and Defense Highways across the U.S., making it possible for States to afford construction of the important network of national limited-access highways. Other notable firsts related to the U.S. Interstate highways are claimed by the States of Pennsylvania (which has the oldest section of Interstate Highway, built 1 Oct 1940, years before the Highway Aid Act of 1956, but later part of the Interstate system) and Kansas, which began the first concrete paving under the Act, on 26 Sep 1956.

    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.

ARTICLE INFORMATION :

Love poems are the best means of expressing love to someone. They happen to be a kind of blessing to all the lovelorn young (and not necessarily young) men and women, for there exists a no more creative nor romantic way of showing someone.

If you have, then we are on the same boat. Anyway, for the ladies, I am sure you enjoy the parts of the wedding dedicated to exchange of vows, sort of like wedding poetry. Weddings! Here goes one of my poems for wedding; Ooh baby you are one of a kind. Although you nag me everyday I do not mind. I was in suspended animation, because she had caught my attention, I was almost caught in a precarious situation. Not another dream AGAIN! I found myself following her graceful walk from the top of her head to the tip of her toe.

When you whisper in my ear you give my heart a good wind, it is like ecstasy and opulence combined. This is because when I am with you to others I am blind, for you are the finest treasure a man could find. I once saw a girl in the streets at random and I just fell in love with her right there and then. Here goes; I just remembered this girl I saw, she was so pretty all I could say was ''whoa''. In fact, I liked it so much; I wrote a sample Wedding Poem for my future wife. I cannot shake you off because you have captured my mind, it is like my fate with you has been sealed and signed. Do you enjoy short love poems?

You got me wrapped around your finger just as a book has a bind; we are very close and tighter than an orange and its rind. If you are a man, I am sure that you are saying to yourself right now, ''oh, man, not again! I cannot explain why, I just did! I love that part too. I could not make a move though, because she was with a woman who looked like she could attack me with a crossbow. If you are a woman, I bet you like weddings. However, when I was at the barbers shop looking out the window pane. I hope your heart and mine are well aligned, this is one prison I do not want to break from, please keep me confined.

As I made my way to get a car, her cute figure lingered from a far, for she had disappeared into the masses just like the sunlight does a star. You have the right features in all the right places perfectly designed; everything from your head to your toes has been well defined. As I sat meditating in a bus, she suddenly came up from nowhere as conspicuous as a tattoo.

Just as she was making her way to the vacant seat next to me, somebody else rushed in and took it leaving me with a nasty feeling as if I had been stung by a bee! I thought then that I would not see her again; she was stuck in my mind just like a stubborn stain. This is one of the Short Love Poems I write about meeting a girl in the streets who I immediately feel a communication to. Have you ever fallen in love with a stranger even before talking to him/her?
