In 1950, Chief Lloyd Layman introduced the use of water fog application as an indirect method of attack during a presentation called “Little Drops of Water” at the Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC) in Memphis, TN. His presentation that day changed the fire service and created a debate that has existed ever since. Fog nozzles were nothing new to the fire service. At that time, they had been around for more than 150 years, dating back to 1863 when Dr. John Oysten obtained the first US patent on a fog nozzle. However, Chief Layman’s presentation was very impressionable on the American fire service.
Government ended with the Armistice, Thompson was undaunted and started promoting his new weapon as a police gun. Thompson's new gun was a delayed blowback type feeding from a characteristic drum magazine with an outline which became well known, a finned barrel, two pistol grips and a short butt. Thompson coined the term "submachine gun" but the press needed a term to catch the public fancy, and thus, the term "Tommy Gun" came into being. Auto-Ordnance actually registered "Tommy Gun" with the Trade Mark division of the Patent Office and this was even stamped on some guns. It was adopted by the U.S. Marines even though it received highly unfavorable publicity in criminal hands.
Abstract: In the 1960’s there was change going on in the U.S from segregation to woman’s rights. The time of change was upon us and inventions of the time were needed for the improvement of life. In 1965 a chemist named Stephanie Louise Kwolek was working for the DuPont Company and trying to come up with a replacement for the steal radial band in tire. She was able to take a liquid mixture and have it spun into one of the world’s strongest material named Kevlar. Kevlar may have many uses but the specific means that this paper focuses on is the use of armor protection for our armed forces and law enforcement.
Dick Johnson, a successful textbook author and English professor at the University of Washington, retired from teaching in 1988 at age 40. His net worth was approximately a half-million dollars. In 1995, during a trip to Los Angeles, he came across a very interesting type of new business. It was a very small gas station that specialized only in oil changes and lubrication jobs. The old gas station had been remodeled, the gas pumps had been removed, and the large sign above the small building read "OIL AND LUBE-- $10 and 10 MINUTES."

Alexie also attended Reardan High School after making the conscious decision to leave his reservation. Another moment where Sherman Alexie brought himself into his writing was the opening of the novel. Junoir (real name Arnold) explains the fact that he was born with an excess of cerebral spinal fluid in his skull (which he describes as being "born with water on the brain"). The brain damage that occured from this, along with the surgery that he went

Why J&J’s Headache Won’t Go Away Synopsis The second case study that we were assigned to analyze is an evaluation of the Johnson & Johnson Corporation’s recall of many, (eight to be exact) of its popular OTC drugs. The company’s most recent recall included such household names as Tylenol, Motrin and Benadryl which were produced by the McNeil Consumer Healthcare unit, a subsidiary of the Johnson & Johnson Corporation. Although J&J had faced recalls of its products in the past, most notably the 1982 Tylenol recall, the company had always handled the situations with text book crisis management helping preserve its sterling reputation. It wasn’t until the botched handling of the 2009 recalls that the company’s reputation seemed to fall into question. The underlying issues that were the cause of J&J’s 2009 recalls can be traced back to 2002 and the retirement of the company’s then CEO Ralph Larsen.
He had to hire white salesman and pretend to be their Native American assistant named “Big Chief” Mason in order to sell any (Olson 27). Garrett created a few other very important inventions before the gas mask, such as the hair straightener, which he created by accidently with a liquid he used to polish needles that he found out could completely straighten the hair (“Garrett A Morgan” 1). After he invented the gas mask, he created the three-signal traffic light, which he patented in 1923. He created the light after he witnessed a deadly accident with a vehicle and a horse and carriage (McCree 4) Garrett developed glaucoma and died on July 27, 1963 shortly before the anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, in which he was eagerly awaiting to attend (Chamberlain
Around the 1830’s Men began wearing hair pieces and hats to conceal baldness. Antiperspirants and deodorants came on the scene in the 1890’s, first with the use of the irritating ingredient aluminum chloride but was then replaced in the 1940’s with aluminum chlorohydrate. Also in the 1800’s, homemade shaving soaps and aftershave were made from cherry laurel water, stemming from the first safety razor patent in 1880 invented by the Kamfe brothers. But it was King Camp Gillette and William Nickerson, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology engineer design the first T-razor with disposable blades. In 1903, Gillette sold only 51 razors and 168 blades, but in 1904, after a marketing campaign he sold 90,000 razors and 123,000 blades.
