    IRON RAILWAY BRIDGE COLLAPSE
    July 31, 1849 - Pennsylvania, USA

    Near Mast Hope, Pennsylvania, collapsed as a stock train was crossing. The engineer heard a loud cracking, pulled the throttle wide open, and succeeded in getting the engine across in safety. However, the rest of the train fell into the deep ravine of the Westcolang Creek along with the wrecked bridge. A brakeman and two stockmen lost their lives. The New York and Erie Railroad had that year experimented by building three iron bridges, including the one that failed. In 1850, an article in the Scientific American magazine reported that the company, having lost confidence in iron bridges, would tear down the two remaining and replace them with wooden structures.

    FIRST U.S. PATENT
    July 31, 1790 - USA

    Patent was granted to Samuel Hopkins of Vermont for a process for making potash and pearl ashes. Potash was important as an ingredient in soap and fertilizer. The patent was granted for a term of 14 years and signed by President George Washington, who had the previous month signed the first U.S. patent statute into law on 10 April 1790. Hopkins did not get Patent with a serial No.1 as thousands of patents were issued before the Patent Office began to number them. Congress had passed the Patent Act on 10 Apr 1790. Two other patents were granted that year - one for a new candle-making process and the other the flour-milling machinery of Oliver Evans. The next year, 1791, Samuel Hopkins also was granted the first Canadian patent.

  • No Man is Above the Law
    by Theodore Roosevelt

    "..."No man is above the law and no man is below it; nor do we ask any man's permission when we require him to obey it. Obedience to the law is demanded as a right; not asked as a favor."..."
  • A Change is Gonna Come
    by Meredith Grey

    "...Change; we don't like it, we fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change, or we get left behind. It hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn't is lying. 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...."

    about Stolen On New Year's

    More vehicles are stolen on New Year's Day than any other holiday throughout the year. (So does that mean thieves are having their last fling before changing their ways or are they trying for a big score to start the New Year?)

If your existing site will not get you the success that you need, then the firm will recommend a new site. They will be able to build one for you, using CSS coding for fast internet loading. A site build from scratch should be build with all SEO coding in place to bring the most traffic and to rank high in search engines. Your site will need excellent copy.

Good copy will give your site a better ranking and will keep visitor long at your site. The long a visitor stays at your site, the higher the chances are that he will buy your product. Your site should not have any "black hat" techniques. These techniques are border line tactics that search engines do not like and this can cause your site to be banned from that search engine. "White hat" techniques on the other hand are what search engines like and your site will be in a safe zone. A SEO agency will review your site for these tactics and remove them. A SEO firm should write press releases for you. This is done when you first start your site or any time during it cycle, when you have new information about your products or services. You can always find good things to say about your site, so you should be able have a press release sent out every month. To find new keywords to use on your website, searching for the past 90 days can uncover many of them. In combination with previous keyword analysis, new niches that you could profit from can be uncovered. Once keyword analysis is complete, a search engine marketing firm should be able to tell you how and where to use them on your website. These are some of things you should discuss with a search engine marketing firm. Work down to the fine details so that you know what will be done and how it will be done. Your main purpose in hiring a firm is to get increased traffic and to get more people to buy your product. So, a marketing firm must do what it takes to get you good usable traffic.
