  • he first modern air conditioning system was developed in 1902 by a young electrical engineer named Willis Haviland Carrier. It was designed to solve a humidity problem at the Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographing and Publishing Company in Brooklyn, N.Y. Paper stock at the plant would sometimes absorb moisture from the warm summer air, making it difficult to apply the layered inking techniques of the time. Carrier treated the air inside the building by blowing it across chilled pipes. The air cooled as it passed across the cold pipes, and since cool air can't carry as much moisture as warm air, the process reduced the humidity in the plant and stabilized the moisture content of the paper. Reducing the humidity also had the side benefit of lowering the air temperature -- and a new technology was born.
  • simple scientific principle. The rest is achieved with the application of a few clever mechanical techniques. Actually, an air conditioner is very similar to another appliance in your home -- the refrigerator. Air conditioners don't have the exterior housing a refrigerator relies on to insulate its cold box. Instead, the walls in your home keep cold air in and hot air out.Let's move on to the next page where we'll discover what happens to all that hot air when you use

  • Everyone knows what the post- it notes are and  almost everyone use them in their normal life,but these amazing invention was not a planned product. Unlike other inventions no one got the idea and then stayed up many  night trying to make it happen, this was a total mistake.
  • In 1970 a scientist named Spencer Silver was working in the 3M research laboratories.He was working really hard trying to find a super stong adhesive, but instead  he developed an even weaker adhesive than what 3M already had, but he did not threw  it away.4 years passed until Arthur Fry came to the rescue!!!Arthur was singing in the church's choir and he used a paper to remind him his place in the anthom, but the reminder kept falling out of the book. He remembered Silver's adhesive,and he applied it to the paper   and it was a total success because the reminder stayed in place and he could take it out without damaging the pages or the reminder.In 1980 3M began selling  the post it notes.Even though now  you can buy the post it notes of  many colors,sizes and shapes the original ones were a small square in canary yellow color.
  • Arthur Fry was born on august of 1931 in  Minnesota, but  grew up  in a small town in Iowa and later in Kansas City. When Arthur finished school in 1950 he moved back to Minnesota to  the University of Minnesota to study majoring in Chemical Enginneering. In 1953, he began working for 3M in new project development while he was still undergraduate and worked  there until 1990. Now he has 3 children and 5 grandchildren and is very famous for a inventetion of  what is probably the most  important office supply product ever since the paperclip.

      great info on max factor and how his story began.
  • His most notable clients were Mary Pickford, Jean Harlow, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford and Judy Garland, all of whom became regular visitors at his salons.
  • In 1918, he developed his 'colour harmony' face powder range, which allowed him to create make up for each individual based on their skin tones, due to the wide range of shades on offer.
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • Creating false eyelashes, the eyebrow pencil, lip gloss, and pancake make up, Factor created a whole new language for screen cosmetics.
  • He died on 30 August 1938 at the age of 59.
  • His son Frank took the name Max Factor JR and continued to be involved with the company until the 1970s, seeing the company create make up shades for US Marines during the second world war, offer male products such as shampoo and aftershave and launch its first female fragrance in 1955.
  • In the 1970s, the third generation of Factors rose to senior positions but wanted to focus on their own interests, leading the firm to first be bought by Revlon and then Proctor & Gamble in 1991.
  • Credited as the father of modern make up
  • It was in 1927 that Max Factor introduced his first cosmetics to be sold to non-theatrical consumers.
  • Another key development in the make up world was the invention of waterproof mascara for the film 'Mare Nostrum' in 1926.
  • By the 1920s, Max's sons were heavily involved in the business with Davis working as general manager and Frank helping his father to develop new products.
  • As his local fame spread, actors from the emerging film industry also came to Max for make-up advice.
  • Max Factor travelled to the United Sates in 1902 and took his family to the St. Louis World's Fair.
  • They never returned.
  • Thus, the motion picture industry, then beginning in Hollywood, beckoned. He settled in Los Angeles with his family in 1909 and got a job with the Pantages Theatre.
  • By 1914, he was perfecting make up for the movies.
  • He formed flexible greasepaint, which was the first make up created for film.

  • What is chewing gum? Chewing gum in various forms has been around since ancient times.  The Greeks chewed sap from the mastic tree, called mastiche.  On the other side of the world, the ancient Mayans favored the sap of the sapodilla tree (called tsiclte).  Native Americans from New England chewed spruce sap—a habit they passed on to European settlers.  Today, the base used for most gum products is a blend of synthetic materials (elastomeres, resins and waxes in various proportions).  However, chewing gum is as popular as ever. 
  • What does chewing gum do? The physical act of chewing increases the flow of saliva in your mouth.  If you chew after eating, the increased salivary flow can help neutralize and wash away the acids that are produced when food is broken down by the bacteria in plaque on your teeth.  Over time, acid can break down tooth enamel, creating the conditions for decay.  Increased saliva flow also carries with it more calcium and phosphate to help strengthen tooth enamel. Clinical studies have shown that chewing sugarless gum for 20 minutes following meals can help prevent tooth decay.  In the future, look for chewing gum that delivers a variety of therapeutic agents that could provide additional benefits to those provided by the ability of gum to mechanically stimulate saliva flow. For instance, some gum might contain active agents that could enhance the gum’s ability to remineralize teeth and reduce decay, or enable gum to help reduce plaque and gingivitis.
  • Does chewing gum replace brushing and flossing? No, chewing gum is an adjunct to brushing and flossing, but not a substitute for either. The ADA recommends brushing twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste and cleaning plaque from between your teeth once a day with dental floss or other interproximal dental cleaners.

  • What is in chewing gum and how is it made? Chewing gum typically consists of: Gum base Artificial sweeteners (such as aspartame, sorbitol or mannitol) Softeners (glycerin or other vegetable oil products) Flavorings and colorings The process for making chewing gum has six basic steps: Gum base ingredients are melted together Other ingredients are added until the warm mix thickens like dough Machines called extruders are used to blend, smooth and form the gum The gum is shaped (flattened or molded into tablet shapes and coated) The gum is cooled for up to 48 hours in a temperature controlled room The gum is packaged.
