    A & P FOOD CHAIN
    September 14, 1949 - U.S.A.

    The Attorney General has filed suit to break up the A & P nationwide food chain. This is a follow up to an anti-trust case earlier this year that the powerful chain must separate their manufacturing and processing from its buying and selling business. The company would need to broken up into 7 separate independent companies with no company owning more than 800 stores in contrast to the 6000 retail outlets it currently owns.

    FIRST U.S. LIGHTHOUSE
    September 14, 1716 - America, U.S.A.

    Boston Light, the first lighthouse in America was first lighted just before sunset. Located on Little Brewster Island to mark the entrance to Boston, Massachusetts, harbour, has guided ships since then. Building it was authorized 23 Jul 1715 by the Boston Light Bill. In the 1600s, treacherous rocks caused countless loss of lives. False signal fires lit in the wrong places by "wreckers" lured ships aground to plunder. Boston Light was blown up by the British in 1776, but rebuilt in 1783 by Governor John Hancock. The lighthouse is also the last remaining manned station in the U.S.

    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. Salary
