New Year's ResolutionWikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A New Year’s resolution is a commitment that an indi-vidual makes to a project or the reforming of a habit.It is often a lifestyle change that is generally inter-preted as advantageous. The name comes from thefact that these commitments normally go into effecton New Year’s Day. Some examples include resolu-tions to donate to the poor more often, to becomemore assertive, or to become more environmentallyresponsible.

There are religious parallels to this secular tradition.People may act similarly during the Christian fastingperiod of Lent, though the motive behind this holidayis more of sacrifice than of responsibility. The conceptis to reflect upon self-improvement annually.

Most Popular Resolutions:

1. Spend time with family and friends2. Get fit3. Lose weight4. Quit smoking5. Enjoy life6. Quit drinking7. Get out of debt8. Learn something new9. Help others10. Get organized

Join us on Friday, January 28th at the Wellness &Recovery Center to celebrate Recognition Day. RecognitionDay takes place at the beginning of the day. Participants re-ceive and give positive feedback for successes throughoutthe month, little successes and big ones too! You can getan “A” for effort! We talk about the importance of goal set-ting and working towards a positive outcome. This is agood time to practice speaking in front of others in thegroup, by sharing your personal insights, feelings andthoughts. There are a few rewards too.

Afterwards, we have a nice meal and cake to celebrate anybirthday in the current month. Many thanks go out to ClaraPowell, Cindy Sawyers and the kitchen volunteers. If youare celebrating a birthday, please join us. Even if you can’tmake it in for the Recognition Group, please come for themeal and birthday celebration. We hope to see you there!

History of the TypewriterThe Great Idea Finder

The idea behind the typewriter was to apply the concept of movabletype developed by Johann Gutenberg during the printing press cen-tury to a machine for individual use. Descriptions of such mechanicalwriting machines date to the early eighteenth century. In 1714, a pat-ent something like a typewriter was granted to a man named HenryMill in England, but no example of Mills’ invention survives.

In 1829, William Burt from Detroit, Michigan patented his typographerwhich had characters arranged on a rotating frame. However, Burt’smachine, and many of those that followed it, were cumbersome, hardto use, unreliable and often took longer to produce a letter thanwriting it by hand.

Finally, in 1867, a Milwaukee, Wisconsin printer-publisher-politiciannamed Christopher Latham Sholes, with assistance from CarlosGlidden and Samuel Soule, patented what was to be the first usefultypewriter. He licensed his patent to Remington & Sons of Ilion, NewYork, a noted American gun maker.

In 1874, the Remington Model 1, the first commercial typewriter, wasplaced on the market.

Based on Sholes’ mechanical typewriter, the first electric typewriterwas built by Thomas Alva Edison in the United States in 1872, but thewidespread use of electric typewriters was not common until the1950s.

The electronic typewriter, a typewriter with an elec-tronic "memory" capable of storing text, firstappeared in 1978. It was developed independentlyby the Olivetti Company in Italy and the CasioCompany in Japan.
