    DDT
    January 29, 1958 - America, U.S.A.

    The Boston Herald printed a letter from Olga Owens Huckins attacking DDT pesticide as dangerous. Huckins was a friend of Rachel Carson, and also sent a personal letter to her, which together prompted the writing of Carson's book Silent Spring, an early call for modern environmentalism. Carson collected research and data. She concluded that organic-pesticides built up in crops and sprayed crops, transferred to birds and other animals and was responsible for the poisoning of the surrounding fauna. Silent Spring asked important questions about balancing industrial and agricultural needs, progress, the protection of the environment and the quality of life. Carson's skilled writing awakened the conscience of America. It took until 1972 to get its use banned in the U.S.

    FIRST PATENT FOR GASOLINE ENGINE VEHICLE
    January 29, 1886 - Mannheim

    Karl Benz applied for a patent for his Benz Patent Motorwagen, a three-wheeler vehicle with a Benz-designed one-cylinder four-stroke gasoline engine. This patent, DRP-37435, “Fahrzeug mit Gasmotorenbetrieb,” (Vehicle with gas engine) is recognized as the world's first patent—regarded as the birth certificate—for a practical internal combustion engine powered automobile. Though the vehicle was awkward and frail, it incorporated some essential elements that would characterize the modern vehicle: electrical ignition, differential, mechanical valves, carburetor, engine cooling system, oil and grease cups for lubrication, and a braking system. The first public test-drive took place on 3 Jul 1886 in and around Mannheim. The patent was issued 2 Nov 1886, effective from the date of the application.

  • A Change is Gonna Come
    by Meredith Grey

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...."

    by Earth Day, Kenya

    "...All of us have a God in us, and that God is the spirit that unites all life, everything that is on this planet.

Making a decision to follow the same hairstyle that your favorite celebrity is wearing might be frustrating. Always remember that your hairstyle must suit your face and personality. So, before you take that drastic measure and cut your hair ten inches, change your hair color to sneaky salmon, or start to loc your hair think over it twice.

Hairstyle is based on several factors. A growing number of men and women both are concerned about how their total looks. They are concerned about every factor that rules their overall appearance and so they go to great lengths to get it to look a certain way. There are people simply do not other about these different and important factors while there are still others who actually have proper knowledge about the relation of the different hairstyles and their looks. So the key to getting a good hairstyle is to concentrate on all the factors that directly and indirectly govern your hairstyle.

The different factors are your sex, age, profession, climate of the place, occasion and your hair quality, length, texture and color. Hairstyle changes with your age. You cannot follow the same hairstyles of 20?s in your 70?s. There are different hairstyles for different age people. Next there are different hairstyles for men and women. There are also hairstyles that can be followed by both the sex. It depends on you what you follow. Your profession is also a very important factor when choosing your hairstyle. Surely enough, a funky hairstyle will not suit your ?corporate? profession.

Make yourself outstanding with your right choice of hairstyle. There are some styles that goes well with the certain climate while others do not. While many would think how a climate can affect a hairstyle- it is not something weird that I am writing here but it do happens. Let me explain it to you- your hair swells and expands when it is wet. It behaves in the same way in a humid climate too, where the air is full of moisture. Humidity makes hair fluffy and, if your hair is prone to curling, it will cause frizz. There are different hairstyles for different events. Hair do for wedding will obviously look out of place in an office party.

Lastly is your hair with which the style goes. For a particular hairstyle every point like quality, length, texture and color are considered to make it successful. If you are among those who give priority to hairstyling then it will be good for you to consult with a trained, professional stylist. There is a lot of difference between hair cutting and hair styling. You will come across a lot of people out there who cut hair and are very good at it, but not all of them can tell you the right style for your hair type and lifestyle.
