    SOLAR-POWERED FLIGHT
    November 20, 1980 - English Channel

    Steve Ptacek in Solar Challenger piloted its first solar-powered flight. The aircraft was designed and built by AeroVironment, Inc. (founded in 1971 by ultra-light airplane innovator, Dr. Paul MacCready). An earlier, 71-ft wingspan, solar-powered design, the Gossamer Penguin, after test flights, flew about 1.95 miles at a public demonstration on 7 Aug 1980. Solar Challenger built upon this experience to be a piloted, solar-powered aircraft strong enough to handle both long and high flights when encountering normal turbulence. With only a 46.5-ft wingspan, it had a huge horizontal stabilizer and had enough wing area for 16,128 solar cells. After design modifications, Ptacek flew across the English Channel flight on 7 July 1981.

    BICYCLE
    November 20, 1866 - U.S.A.

    The first U.S. patent on a rotary crank bicycle was issued to Pierre Lallemont of Paris, France (No. 59,915). With pedals applied directly to the front wheel, this so called velocipede ("fast foot") was a major advance on the old hobby horse bicycle that had to be pushed with the feet. It soon came to be known as "the bone shaker" because being made of stiff materials, straight angles and steel wheels, it gave a stiff ride over the cobblestone roads of the day. Soon indoor riding academies, similar to roller rinks, could be found in large cities. He rode on it from Ansonia, Conn. to the green at New Haven, Conn.

ARTICLE CONTENT :

Wedding is such an occasion in a man's life where nobody would ever tolerate anything to go wrong and therefore wants to take care of every possible detail for the wedding. To have a better wedding ceremony everything should work as per planned and one should take care of the every possible details. A perfectly planned wedding and the proper execution of the plans is considered to be the perfect wedding ceremony. The wedding table plays an important part and the center table is the center of all the gathering of the guests and therefore it is important that one should pay proper attention to the center table decoration very well.

However, for to decorate your wedding table the choice of the table cloth is very much important too. The snowy white color of the cloth is a traditional bridal choice, but colors chosen to coordinate with the room decoration or the wedding party decoration are also quite popular ideas for the decoration of your wedding table. Of course it is a fact that some of us think that the color of the table cloth and the napkins should match with each other in order to have a better look. But the real fact is that you can always use your own innovative ideas for the purpose. There is no hard and fast rule that the color of the napkins should match the color of the table cloth. You can easily use dark colored napkins with light colored table cloth to give an elegant look to the wedding table.

You should always think beyond the center of the table to create a unique impression with your wedding table decorations. There is also a very important role play of flowers in your whole wedding decoration. And therefore the choice of flowers and the style of decoration with them needs some innovative thinking for the better decoration of the wedding. And the use of flowers for your wedding table should be such that the table gets a totally different look with them. However, it is not always a good idea to have your wedding table loaded with flowers. Choose the style of decoration carefully and remember that sometimes a simple but well thought decoration can make the whole thing appear brilliant. This is what you should try to maintain in your whole wedding decoration for the better look.

However, though the center wedding table gets a lot of attention in your wedding, but that does not means that you can neglect the other aspects of the wedding. To get this right one must take care of every single details carefully so that there may not remain any gap to be the target of criticism. And it is very well known to all of us that how much you can get criticized if there remains any gap in the perfect planning of your wedding.

To think of the other aspects of the wedding, another thing comes in mind is the need of the disposable cameras in your wedding. It is very good idea if you get some disposable cameras ready for the occasion so for the use of the guests. You can easily have them carefully placed on your center wedding table with a card beside it allowing the guests to use them at their will. And by this you shall not miss any single moment of your wedding party.
