Keep on smiling

If at times you feel you want to cry
And life seems such a trial
Above the clouds theres a bright blue sky
So make your tears a smile.

As you travel on lifes way
With its many ups and downs
Remember its quite true to say
One smile is worth a dozen frowns.

Among the worlds expensive things
A smile is very cheap
And when you give a smile away,
You get one back to keep.

Happiness comes at times to all
But sadness comes unbidden
And sometimes a few tears must fall
Among the laughter hidden.

So when friends have sadness on their face
And troubles round them piled
The world will seem a better place
And all because you smiled.

why do we need friends

We need friends for many reasons,
all throughout the four seasons.

We need friends to comfort us when we are sad,
and to have fun with us when we are glad.

We need friends to give us good advice.
We need someone we can count on to treat us nice.

We need friends to listen to our problems
and to help us think of ways to solve them.

We need friends because we are social in nature
and having friends makes us feel secure.

We need friends to remember us once we have passed
sharing memories that will always last.

Send this page to all your friends
to tell them how much you need them in your life!

awal mula adanya mesin jahit

Asal Usul Sejarah jahit-menjahit dengan menggunakan jarum sudah dimulai pada awal-awal peadaban manusia.

Bahan jarumnya bermacam-macam.

Ada yang terbuat dari batu, tembaga, tulang ataupun gading. Jarum yang
masih kasar itu digunakan untuk menyatukan kulit hewan menjadi pakaian.

Sementara benangnya yang digunakan dibuat dari otot hewan.

Jarum logam digunakan sekitar abad ke-14, yang merupakan jarum dengan menggunakan lubang yang umum dijumpai pada saat ini.



Asal Usul Sejarah Penemuan MEsin Jahit

Pada tahun 1755, seorang imigran Jerman, Charles Weisenthal, yang tiggal
di Inggris, mematenkan penemuan jarumnya yang khusus dirancangnya untuk
sebuah mesin.

Sayangnya patennya tidak merinci mesin yang menggunakan jarum tersebut.



Berikutnya, seorang pembuat lemari asal Inggris, Thomas Saint yang juga mematenkan mesin jahit di tahun 1790.

Tidak
diketahui apa Saint benar-benar membuat prototipe mesin yang digunakan
pada saat itu, atau hanya sekedar mematenkan agar mendapatkan royalti,
kelak jika mesin itu bisa dibuat.

Yang pasti, Thomas Saint merinci dalam patennya sebuah benda tajam yang
dapat membuat lubang pada kulit dan memasukkan jarum pada lubang yang
ada.

Selangkah lebih maju dari Weisenthal.

Namun reproduksi temuan Saint itu ternyata tidak bisa beroperasi.



Perkara Paten ini juga dilupakan oleh Balthasar Krems.

Warga berkebangsaan Jerman ini menemukan mesin otomatis untuk menjahit topi di tahun 1810.

Dia tidak mematenkan temuanya dan konon mesinnya tidak pernah berfungsi dengan baik.



Upaya untuk membuat mesin jahit memang tidak pernah pudar.

Banyak pula yang akhirnya menyebabkan perang paten.

Namun tidak sedikit pula yang berakhir dengan kegagalan.

Contohnya John Adams Doge dan John Knowles dari Amerika.

Mereka berdua membuat mesin jahit pada tahun 1818 namun ujung-ujungnya
mesin itu gagal saat digunakan untuk menjahit sejumlah kain.



Mesin Jahit yang bisa berfungsi diciptakan oleh Barthelemy Thimonier pada tahun 1830.

Mesin ini hanya menggunakan satu benang dan sebuah jarum kait seperti jarum bordir atau sulam.

Sayangnya, temuan ini tidak memperoleh sambutan baik dari masyarakat.

Bahkan dirinya hampir terbunuh ketika sejumlah penjahit membakar pabrik
garmen miliknya karena takut tersaingi dan menimbulkan pengangguran
akibat temuan mesin jahitnya.



Kembali seorang Amerika mencoba membuat mesin jahit dan sukses ditahun 1834, yang bernama Walter Hunt.

Namun anehnya, dia tidak merasa bahagia dengan temuannya, karena dia merasa temuannya akan menimbulkan pengangguran.



Mesin Jahit elias Howe

Puncak penemuan mesin jahit terjadi di Amerika Serikat yang ditemukan oleh Elias Howe.

Mesin buatannya menggunakan dua benang dari arah berlawanan dan memiliki jarum berlubang untuk benang di bagian ujung. http://www.tenagadalam.org/

Jarum itu didesak menembus kain dan membuat semacam lengkungan benang di sisi bawah kain.

Sebuah benang dari arah lain disisipkan ke dalam lengkungan tadi.

Lalu kedua benang membuat jalinan yang mengunci kain.

Kabarnya temuan ini inspirasi dari mimpinya.

Dalam mimpinya, perut Howe ditusuk oleh seorang kanibal dengan tombak dalam tidurnya.

Bentuk ujung tombak inilah yang dijadikan inspirasi buat menciptakan jarum yang sudah lama dicarinya.



Perang Pematenan Mesin Jahit

Mesin Jahit Howe 

Namun setelah penemuannya, Howe dihadapkan pada masalah dengan mempertahankan paten dan memasarkan temuannya.

Akhirnya dia berjuang selama sembilan tahun.

 

Isaac Singer 

Perang
paten sendiri pecah ketika Isaac Singer menemukan mekanisme naik turun
pada mesin jahit dan Allen Wilson mengembangkan alat kait pemintal
berputar.

Mesin jahit belum menjadi barang produksi massal hingga tahun 1850-an.

 

Mesin Jahit Isaac Singer 

Setelah
Isaac Singer berhasil membuat mesin jahit dengan jarum jahit yang bisa
digerakkan kayuhan pedal kaki, maka kesuksesan penjualan mesin jahit
secara komersial terbuka.

Sebelumnya, mesin jahit terdahulu menggerakkan jarumnya dari pinggir dan digerakkan dengan tangan.



Bagaimanapun, mesin Isaac Singer menerapkan mekanisme jalinan dua benang yang dipatenkan Howe.

Maka Elias Howe menuntut Isaac Singer atas paten yang serupa dan berhasil memenangkan perkaranya pada tahun 1854.

Sebenarnya Walter Hunt menerapkan jalinan benang dari dua sumber benang dan jarum berlubang.

Namun pengadilan memutuskan paten jatuh ketangan Howe setelah Hunt membatalkan patennya.



Jika Hunt tetap mematenkan temuannya, Elias Howe dapat dikalahkan dalam perkaranya dengan Isaac Singer.

Maka atas kekalahan itu, Isaac Singer harus membayar royalti paten Elias Howe.

Jika saja paten yang dimiliki warga Inggris, John Fisher ditahun 1844
itu tidak hilang, maka Fischer akan terlibat dalam perang paten mesin
jahit.

Pasalnya mesin renda buatannya menerapkan mekanisme yang serupa dengan mesin Howe maupun Singer.



Keberhasilan dalam mempertahankan hak atas patennya membuat keuntungan Elias Howe melonjak tajam.

Pendapatan tahunannya yang semula 300 dolar Amerika menjadi lebih dari 200.000 dolar AS per tahun untuk saat itu.

Dalam kurun waktu 14 tahun (1854-1867), Howe mengumpulkan dana hingga 2 juta dolar AS atas temuannya.

Ia lantas menyisihkan sebagian kekayaannya selama Perang Saudara Amerika
bagi Pasukan Infantri dan sebagian lagi sumbangan atas nama pribadinya.



Seperti Itulah yang bisa dijelaskan.

Girl Friend

Girlfriends

I sat under an Oak tree in Michigan on a summer day, drinking iced
tea
and visiting with my Mother. "Don't forget your girlfriends,"
Mother
advised, clinking the ice cubes in her glass. "No matter how much
you
love your husband, you are still going to need girlfriends.
Remember to
go places with them now and then; do things with them. And
remember
that girlfriends are not only friends, but sisters, daughters and
other
relatives too." What a funny piece of advice, I thought. Hadn't I
just
gotten married? Hadn't I just joined the couple-world? I was now a
married woman, for goodness sake, not a young girl who needed
girlfriends. But I listened to my Mom. I kept contact with my
girlfriends and made more each year. As the years tumbled by, one
after
another, gradually I came to understand that Mom really knew what
she
was talking about. Here is what I know about Girlfriends:
 Girlfriends bring casseroles and scrub your bathroom when
you
need help.
 Girlfriends keep your children and keep your secrets.
 Girlfriends give advice when you ask for it. Sometimes you
take
it, sometimes you don't.
 Girlfriends don't always tell you that you're right, but
they're
usually honest.
 Girlfriends still love you, even when they don't agree with
your
choices.
 Girlfriends might send you a birthday card, but they might
not.
It does not matter in the least !
 Girlfriends laugh with you, and you don't need canned jokes
to
start the laughter.
 Girlfriends pull you out of jams.
 Girlfriends don't keep a calendar that lets them know who
hosted
the other last big party! !
 Girlfriends will give a party for your son or daughter when
they
get married or have a baby, in whichever order that comes!
 Girlfriends are there for you, in an instant and when the
hard
times come.
 Girlfriends listen when you lose a job or a friend.
 Girlfriends listen when your children break your heart.
 Girlfriends listen when your parents' minds and bodies
fail.
My daughters, sisters, family, and friends bless my life! When we
began
this adventure we had no idea of the incredible joys or sorrows
that lay
ahead. Nor did we know how much we would need each other.

Pass this on to your girlfriends/sisters/daughters. I just did.
