    FIRST GB HUMAN BLOOD TRANSFUSION
    September 26, 1818 - Great Britain, UK

    The first transfusion in Great Britain using human blood (as opposed to animal blood) took place at Guy's Hospital, London, by Dr. James Blundell. The patient, Mr. Brazier, was beyond hope of recovery due to incurable scirrhous disease of the pyloric orifice of the stomach, but he was anxious that the procedure be tried. Using an instrument of his own design, the doctor transfused of between 12 to 14 ounces of donated human blood into a vein in the patient's arm. For 30 or 40 minutes there seemed benefit, as his pulse and body temperature increased. However, he died 56 hours after the treatment. Ten years later, Dr. Blundell saved a patient's life with a blood transfusion, but by then, Dr. Doubleday had already, in 1825, become the first to achieve a life-saving success.

    EDSEL AUTOMOBILES
    September 26, 1957 - U.S.A

    The Ford Motor Companies first Edsel automobile rolls of the production line ready for the publicity machine to kick in one month later. The original models sold in 1958 included the Citation and Corsair, and the Pacer and Ranger. By the end of 1959 Ford announced the end of the sale of Edsel cars after Ford had lost approx $350 million on the project. In 1958 an Edsel Citation 2-Door Hardtop cost about $3,500. I just checked today Aug 29. 2009 on EBAY and found one for about $17,500

    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...."

    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.
