    ILLUMINATING GAS
    September 21, 1875 - United States

    Inventor and scientist, Professor Thaddeus S.C. Lowe (1832-1913) patented a process for water gas production of "illuminating or heating gas." This gas making process fundamentally consists of the spraying of oil into water gas (blue gas) in a hot vessel for the purpose of increasing the calorific value of the gas. This carbureted water gas process was soon the most important manufactured gas in the United States of its time. He later invented a number of important and basic devices for use in atmospheric observation and metallurgical processing. Earlier, during the Civil War, he had created a military balloon force to spy on Confederate troops.

    DURYEA AUTOMOBILE
    September 21, 1895 - America, U.S.A.

    The Duryea Motor Wagon Company became the first American auto manufacturer to open for business. In 1893, Frank Duryea and his brother, Charles, designed what is believed to be the first gasoline-powered automobile built in the U.S. Since it didn't need a horse, it was called a “horseless carriage,” which took its first short test drive in Springfield, Mass. Although the first in the U.S. auto business, the Duryeas did not develop into a major manufacturer.

    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.

Once upon a time deep into an enchanted forest, was a beautiful flower garden. Inside of this precious flower garden was tulips of every color. Marigolds that reflected the yellow of the sun. Purple gardenias that glistened with the drips of the morning dew.

Deep in this magical garden were talking roses. Amongst these roses was a georgeous Red one. So as the story goes,the Red rose looked at the Blue rose and said, Blue Rose, oh Blue Rose how could you ever be as beautiful as I, your petals hang so low to your thorns.

Then the Blue Rose cried and then the Red Rose laughed. She then looked over at the Yellow Rose and said to her, Yellow Rose, Yellow Yose how could you ever be as beautiful as I, you don't reflect the rainbows of rain in the sky like I. and the yellow rose did cry. the red rose just snickerd.

Just then in the distance the Red Rose did see. The most beautiful White Rose bud growing in extravagance. delicate with grace. petals firmed with desire. Just as fury burned inside Red Rose. Jealousy took over the Red Roses heart.

The Red Rose suddenly began to speak. then instantly the gardener came by and plucked the little red rose from off her stem right out of the bush.
