The original company whose shares traded as The Bank of New York in 1792 is now the Bank of New York Mellon and is still fully operational in Manhattan. This bank traces its roots back to Alexander Hamilton, who wrote the bank's constitution. The bank provided the U.S. government its first loan in 1789. The loan was orchestrated by Hamilton, then Secretary of the Treasury, and it paid the salaries of United States Congress members and President George Washington.

Sir Isaac Newton introduced the three laws of motion in 1687 in his book entitled Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, which has been called the most influential book on physics. Newton's three laws of motion describe the relationship between a body and the forces acting upon it, and its motion in response to those forces.

Originally funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, ARPANET used packet switching to allow multiple computers to communicate on a single network. The technology continued to grow in the 1970s after scientists Robert Kahn and Vinton Cerf developed Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol, or TCP/IP, a communications model that set standards for how data could be transmitted between multiple networks.

X86ICQY2KTCP/IP Y2K Answer: The Y2K bug was a computer flaw that was projected to create havoc on computer networks when dealing with dates beyond December 31, 1999. The flaw, faced by computer programmers and users all over the world on January 1, 2000, is also known as the "millennium bug." As the year 2000 approached, computer programmers realized that computers might not interpret 00 as 2000, but as 1900. After more than a year of international alarm, feverish preparations, and programming corrections, few major failures occurred in the transition from December 31, 1999, to January 1, 2000.

Battle of VicksburgBattle of ShilohBattle of GettysburgBattle of Fort Sumter Battle of Gettysburg Answer: The Battle of Gettysburg, fought from July 1 to July 3, 1863, is considered the most important engagement of the American Civil War. The Battle of Gettysburg was also the costliest battle of the Civil War, with 51,112 casualties (23,049 Union and 28,063 Confederate). Gettysburg was a victory for the Union forces and is considered by many experts to have been the turning point in the Civil War. It marked the last attempt of the Confederates under General Robert E. Lee to invade the north and move the conflict out from the area of Virginia. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

The campaign was also the first to be aimed directly at children; before this, commercials were only targeted at adults. This commercial revolutionized marketing, and over one million kits were sold in the first year. The toy was originally produced as separate plastic parts with pushpins that could be stuck into a real potato. However, due to complaints regarding rotting vegetables and new government safety regulations, Hasbro began including a plastic potato body within the toy set in 1964.

O'Hare won the Medal of Honor for engaging a group of Japanese torpedo bombers in a dogfight during an attempted attack on the aircraft carrier Lexington. O'Hare and his wingman gunned down five Japanese bombers to ward off the potentially catastrophic attack. On September 19, 1949, the Chicago, Illinois airport was renamed O'Hare International Airport to honor O'Hare's bravery. The airport displays an aircraft replicating the one flown by Butch O'Hare during his Medal of Honor flight.

"I have a terrific headache." Those were Franklin Delano Roosevelt's final words. He died a few hours later of a cerebral hemorrhage. He was 63 years old. FDR had presided over the Great Depression and most of World War II, and the stress had taken its toll on his health. Within hours of Roosevelt's passing, Vice President Harry S. Truman was summoned to the White House where he took the oath of office. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.
