HAPPY NATIONAL MAKE A FRIEND DAY

Always observed on February 11th, National Make A Friend Day is a fantastic opportunity to meet someone new and make a new friendship. Friends serve a vital role in everyone’s lives. They are one of life’s most valuable assets.

“Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light”  – Helen Keller

New friends can broaden our horizons by helping us to see new perspectives, challenging us to try something different or connecting us to opportunities. Meeting new people can help sharpen our social skills and keep us from becoming lonely.

“Friends are those rare people who ask how you are and then wait for the answer”  – Ed Cunningham

While friends often share common backgrounds or experiences, they certainly don’t have to have everything in common. One of the simplest ways to make new friends is to explore your personal interests by taking a class or joining a club.

Make a new friend today and share with them the greatness of OverSoyed Fine Organic Products! Join our VIP Rewards Program, share your friends link with them, and both of you will earn valuable discounts and reward points.

HAPPY NATIONAL INVENTORS’ DAY

Inventors and their genius are honored February 11th.

What do Ermal Fraze, Thomas Adams, Melitta Bentz and Stephen Perry all have in common? They are recognized annually on February 11th, along with the likes of the Wright brothers, Thomas Edison, George Washington Carver and Elisha Otis on National Inventors’ Day.

Thanks to inventors we can safely ride in an elevator, have a well-lit room at the flip of a switch, speak to someone on the other side of the world or efficiently pump lotion from a bottle.  Many inventors go their whole life without recognition for their creation while others are household names.  Nearly everything around us is the result of someone tinkering in their garage, laboratory or basement trying to find a solution to a problem.

Some inventions may be happy accidents by an observant person; the microwave oven, penicillin, sticky notes and bubble wrap may never have made their way into their current use if it were not for sharp or persistent inventors.

The proverb “Necessity is the mother of invention” says a lot about how inventors look at life.  They are a progressive, forward-thinking bunch. Where would we be without pacemakers, traffic signals, rubber bands or coffee filters?

Though there are some inventions that we may be better off without. A DVD rewinder doesn’t quite fit the necessity criteria. Or, they are otherwise too impractical. For example, tugging around a stroller fridge for your watermelon along with the cooler and beach umbrella seems to be a bit of overkill, but without inventors, the world would be downright boring and much more challenging.

Inventors around the country, take a bow. Keep tinkering. Keep seeking a cure, a fix and improvement to our everyday life. Take time to recognize an inventor and encourage them to keep creating the next great invention.

Happy National Umbrella Day!

National Umbrella Day is celebrated across the nation each year on February 10th.

On this day, we honor one of the world’s most useful inventions, the umbrella!  Not only does the umbrella help keep us dry from the rain, but it also protects us from the heat of the sun.  Umbrellas can also be used as a fashion accessory.

The word umbrella comes from the Latin word umbra, meaning shade or shadow. Brolly is a slang word for umbrella, often used in Britain, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa.  Bumbershoot is a fanciful Americanism, for an umbrella, from the late 19th century.

The basic umbrella was invented over four thousand years ago. There is evidence of umbrellas in the ancient art and artifacts of Egypt, Assyria, Greece and China.

It was the Chinese that first waterproofed umbrellas for use in the rain. They waxed and lacquered their paper parasols to protect them from rain.

The first of all umbrella shops were called “James Smith and Sons”. The shop opened in 1830 and is still located at 53 New Oxford Street, London, England.

In 1928, Hans Haupt’s pocket umbrellas appeared. In 1969, Bradford E. Phillips, the owner of Totes Incorporated of Loveland, Ohio, obtained a patent for the first “working folding umbrella.”

Umbrellas have also been fashioned into hats as early as 1880 and as recently as 1987.

Umbrellas are used in photography. Umbrellas with a reflective inside are used by photographers as a diffusion device when employing artificial lighting and as a glare shield and shade, most often in portrait situations.
