Elijah J. McCoy (May 2, 1843[2] — October 10, 1929) was an African Canadian inventor and engineer, known for his many US patents. After studying engineering in Edinburgh, Scotland, and returning home to Canada, he found work as a fireman and oiler at the Michigan Central Railroad. In a home-based machine shop in Ypsilanti, McCoy invented an automatic lubricator for oiling the steam engines of locomotives and boats. For this he obtained his first patent, “Improvement in Lubricators for Steam-Engines” (US Patent 129843 ) on July 23, 1872. Jan Ernst Matzeliger (September 15, 1852 — August 24, 1889) was an African-American inventor in the shoe industry. Matzeliger was born in Paramaribo (then Dutch Guyana, now Suriname). His father was a Dutch engineer and his mother black Surinamese slave. He had some interest in mechanics in his native country, but his efforts at inventing a shoe-lasting machine began in the United States after a life of working in a machinery shop. He settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at 19 after working as a sailor. By 1877 he spoke adequate English and had moved to Massachusetts. After five years of work he patented his invention in 1883.[1] His machine would speed up the production of shoes considerably. Previously, working by hand, one could produce 50 pairs of shoes a day, but his machine could produce between 150 to 700 pairs of shoes a day. His shoe-lasting machine also cut the shoe prices across the nation in half[citation needed]. Despite …
A middle aged man and woman fall in love, and decide to get married. On their
wedding night they settle into the bridal suite and the bride says to her new
groom, "Please be gentle… I am still a virgin." The startled groom says "How can
that be? You’ve been married twice…"
The bride responds… "Well you see it was this way: My first husband, he was a
psychiatrist, and all he ever wanted to do was talk about sex. Catching her breath,
she says "My second husband was a stamp collector, and all he ever wanted to do
was…………. Oh God, I miss him!"
me and my friend are doing a science project on fingerprinting and we wanted to do a demonstration on how police men and fbi people see the fingerprints on the scene of the crime. example: like how you press your finger on an ink pad and then stamp it on a piece of paper. but we dont wanna do something traditional like that..and wed love to have something that involves black lights. <3
so I have 2 questions actually. First, I have 250 on my guest list(46 are kids and the other 204 are adults). What is the average % of a guest list that actually come? I have been planning on 200 people total when buying things to be safe, but people say im lucky if half show. I do have rsvp’s which leads to my second question. Our wedding is June 28th. I have invitations all done, addressed and with stamps. I was planning to send them out 2 months early and request rsvp’s back in one month(so one month before wedding). Should I wait another 2 weeks to mail out my invites or just send them now? Thanks
people are not going to not come to my wedding because kids are going. Maybe thats how you see things, and maybe those are the kind of people you know, but my friends and family love kids!

ok,I’ve answered my share of questions here tonight…during so I have decided to ask for some personal advice from you all.
This is gonna be a long one….but I will try to keep it brief
I was in a 2+ yr relationship with a fairly good man.He was good to me,gave me anything and everything I wanted.I even tramp stamped his name across my back.The first year was great! We had so much fun together.He is a super caring person when it comes to me…even still.
Well his job kept him hundreds of miles away for weeks at a time so we didn’t get to spend a lot of time together.He kept promising to get a local job but never went through with it,I guess because his job paid 60,000 a year and others were way less.He has been in the same line of work most of his life as a tankerman.
Ok let me get to the real part….A year ago this month I started cheating on him with a guy I have known all my life but never liked before.I fell in love with him fast which caused my long term relationship to end,my choice. We are still in contact and he wants me back.We have been split for 7 months now and have not seen one another but do text message back and forth.
I chose the guy I started cheating with and after 7 months now I do not know where we are headed if anywhere at all.I am 35 and he is 40 and he does not communicate with me or is affectionate with me like my x was.We live apart of course in the same town and we only see each other on Wed,Fri and Sat. We go nowhere together,do nothing when we are together which I am not use to. He tells me he cares for me but does not talk to me about ‘us’.
So what I am asking is since I left one relationship and started another I would like this to work out being that things would never be the same if I got back with the x so how do I get him to open up to me and communicate with me? It is getting very frustrating and driving me crazy because my heart is wrapped up in this now!
We are starting to argue a lot about stupid stuff too,but mostly I think is jealousy?
Any serious comments are appreciated.
Ok I see I twisted this a tad bit at the end….I want to know how to get the new man to open up and talk to me. I ask him so many questions that he avoids/never answers or just says ‘I don’t know’. Sometimes he is different too when I am around,like he gazes off into space and other times he is very talkative. I need advice from men and women on how to get outta him what I need to know before I spend anymore possible ‘wasted time’
Thanks
