    PROTECTOGRAPH
    August 9, 1904 - New York, U.S.A.

    The Protectograph check-writing machine was patented under the title Printing-Stamp by Libanus McLouth Todd of Rochester, New York (U.S. Patent No. 766,853). It was designed to protect against check forgers by marking and embossing the amount on a check, thereby preventing the amount thus shown to be later dishonestly changed to a higher value. The apparatus had co-axial printing wheels with lines of raised type forming a series of numbers and suitable words. A check would be placed between the wheels and a platen. An inked felt-covered roller applied ink to the type as the wheels were turned to select the chosen imprint. The platen surface had a yielding material, such as rubber. When actuated by a hand-lever, it was raised from beneath the check and embossed the paper against the type.

    COLDEST TEMPERATURE ON EARTH SURFACE
    August 9, 2010 - Antartica

    the record low surface temperature in Antartica was -135.8ºF (-93.2ºC), colder than the freezing point of dry ice. It was determined from analysis of remote-sensing satellite data later announced on 9 Dec 2013 at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union. The location was in pockets scattered near a high ice ridge between Dome Argus and Dome Fuji, two summits on the East Antarctic Plateau. August is winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and the temperature resulted from the geographical nature and weather conditions in the pockets. The World Meteorological Organization official records are for air temperatures made a couple of meters above the surface. That recorded lowest temperature, made in Jul 1983 at the Vostok Research Station, Antarctica, remains at -128.6ºF (89.2ºC).

Are you one of the numerous smokers looking to quit? Or do you have a close friend or family member struggling with this issue? If so, have you heard of E-Cigarettes?

Electronic Cigarettes or E-Cigarettes work on the concept of nicotine vaporization, instead of combustion. Research has suggested that e-cigarettes can be up to 60% more useful in smoking cessation as compared to nicotine replacement therapies like nicotine patches or gum. Often smokers face terrible withdrawal symptoms due to nicotine addiction and simply fail to quit even after multiple attempts. Vaping not only helps you cope with nicotine addiction, it also mimics the experience of smoking. Thus you experience the feeling of an analog cigarette, and can eventually quit smoking this way.

Very few people can just go ahead and quit cold turkey. You may become moody, anxious, irritated or fail to concentrate on even mundane daily tasks. Being around your social circle and continuously watching people smoke can be very challenging. Not to mention, the time you spent smoking everyday is left blank, like breaks and after meals. These are the times when smokers are highly tempted to go back to smoking. Here, vaping can be your blessing in disguise. So how do you go about it? It can be frightening to make the big switch, so here's an easy guide on how to cut back on, and quit, smoking through Vaping.

Why Vaping: The first thing to do is convince yourself that vaping is better than smoking. The process of vaping doesn't involve burning of tobacco; hence there is no tar, arsenic or other heavy metals involved. Studies have shown that e-cigarette vapor contain 9-450 times lower toxins than cigarette smoke. Since there is no ash or offensive smell, you can be assured of a less unpleasant experience and lesser social stigma. E-cigarettes give you the feel of an actual cigarette so you can easily get into vaping, slowly reduce the amount of smoking and completely replace it eventually.

How E-Cigarettes Work: There are two types of E-Cigarettes available; refillable and disposable. You can get them from convenience stores near you or you can also buy them online. The vaping unit will be made up of a device called atomizer which heats up the e-liquid. It is powered by a battery and it uses a coil for the heating process. You will need to fill in e-liquid as per your use and requirements. Once the e-liquid is heated, the device will release dense and flavorful vapor. Devices To Consider: When you set out to vape, you need to choose between the different types of devices available. Beginners can pick a starter kit, which is easy to use and does not require too much maintenance.

These kits usually include clearomizers/cartomizers/atomizers and batteries along with accessories. Their prices start at around $15 and will go up as per the features. Next you need to select E-Juices according to your taste and preferences. They are available in a variety of flavors ranging from traditional tobacco and menthol to banana bread and cotton candy. A small bottle of e-liquid (15ml) is available for around $9. Once you have got the hang of vaping, you can upgrade your kits and experiment with the different types of devices available. These include larger batteries, bigger tanks for the e-juice etc.

Start Vaping! : For starters, you can get E-Liquid that is nicotine based, say around 15 mg levels. Gradually decrease the levels of nicotine and eventually you can use E-Liquid that is non-nicotine based. This way, you can shake off your addiction to nicotine too, through vaping. When you begin with vaping, you may feel a little uncomfortable or odd with the entire experience. But in the long run, you can surely shake of the smoking habit and replace it with vaping.

It's high time you quit smoking. Make the right choice and be smoke free!
