Cyrus McCormick was an American inventor who invented the reaper. The reaper was a farming tool that helped Farmers all through the US. It was a tool for cutting and harvesting grain. McCormick started working on this machine in 1820. By the time 1831, when the actual machine could be used, the reaper could cut six acres of oats in one day. The reaper could also cut 20 acres of Wheat in a day. It was a device pulled by four horses and could do the work of six men. Since he knew his invention would do well, he set up his headquarters in Chicago, where he sold thousands of these reapers. Later he entered the reaper into London’s Great Exhibition, where he won first prize and made him an instant celebrity, making $1.25 million in profits. Cyrus
Jarrod J. Rein is an eighteen-year-old with dark brown hair and brown eyes to match the brown arid dirt of Piedmont, Oklahoma. His skin is a smooth warm tan glow that opposes his white smile making his teeth look like snow. Standing a great height of six foot exactly, his structure resembles a bear. He is attending Piedmont high school where he in his last year of high school (senior year). He is studying to be a forensics anthropologist. Also he is studying early in the field of anatomy to be successful in his profession. While not always on the rise for knowledge Jarrod’s swimming for his high school. In a sense it’s like you see double.
The first he made was the Chronicle Cotton Mills was the first to install in a hospital. More businesses came to Buffalo Forge for air conditioners. Companies that made cloth wanted Willis Carrier’s air conditioners to keep their cloth from shrinking. In 1907, many people wanted air conditioners installed in their home. So Buffalo Forge the company Willis worker for, created a new company. They made Willis Carrier vice president. Willis Carrier worked hard to build air conditioners. Sadly, his wife passed away in 1912 at that time. The company was a small part of the Buffalo Company, Willis took some workers and his ideas, and created a new company, and in 1915 Carrier created the Carrier Engineering Corporation. The Carrier company actually helped hockey players play their games by keeping the ice cool. It helped his business, and it helped him stay successful. The “centrifugal chiller” was a smaller, powerful, old machine. A man came up with a new idea invention to fan cool rooms. Carrier’s company helped the war world II by air conditioning factories that made food for the
Eli Whitney (A.K.A the Father of Mass Production) realized unlike the long staple, black seed cotton, which seeds came out rather easily, that only grew on the coast, the green seed, short staple cotton’s seed were not out to release from the fibers easily. He and the manager of the plantation constructed a prototype model in a secret garage. It had four compartments; (1) a hopper which feeds the cotton into the gin, (2) a revolving cylinder that had hundreds of short wire hooks set to match fine grooves cut in, (3) stationary breastwork with pulled out the seeds while the fibers flow through, (4) and lastly, a cylinder set with bristles that got the cotton off the bristles. He got that patented in 1794, but kept working at new things. Taking over 10 years to complete, he created a machine that can create muskets from a pile of musket parts. This is what deemed him the father of mass
Imagine being stuck in a chair for five hours while someone transformed your face into some monster. John Matuszak had to tackle that challenge everyday of his acting job in The Goonies. John’s legacy still lives on for a few decades after his death in the role of Sloth. For him, it was nothing compared to his NFL career. John was an amazing defensive end, mostly for the Oakland Raiders. The phrase Renaissance man truly defines John Matuszak.
In 1798, Eli Whitney invented a way to manufacture muskets by machine so that the parts were interchangeable. Ironically, it was as a manufacturer of muskets that Whitney finally became rich.
Elijah McCoy was an important engineer and inventor in the mid 1800s and early 1900s. He invented many machines and had many ideas about how to make everyday life easier. Even though he had a hard time becoming an engineer, he eventually became one of the first African American engineers. He developed designs for an ironing board, a lawn sprinkler, and other machines. His name did not appear on the majority of the products that he devised.
In 1793 Whitney saw the difficulty of taking out cotton seeds by hand (Cefrey 10-11). He decided to create a machine that could clean cotton faster than a human could. The Cotton Gin made the processing of cotton much faster and quicker. As a result of this, land owners were now able to have large cotton plantations

On their path to success, sometimes Joh Deere and Lewis Latimer had similar concepts. Both of them started innovating on an important idea, using their strengths. When John Deere saw that the soil was too hard to plough, he made his plow out of polished metal and gave the bottom a curved angle, solving the problems of many farmers. Being a blacksmith, he was able to find
One of many samurais and shoguns there was a samurai named Shimazu Yoshihiro. He was the second son of Shimazu Takahisa. He had an older brother, Shimazu Yoshihisa. He was born on August 21st, 1535 and died August 30th, 1619. His family believed in a tradition with all their male family members had the same first name, Shimazu. He was also a member and the 17th head of the Shimazu Clan. When he was the head of the clan it was believed that his brother, Yoshihisa, had the real power of the clan.
Malathion is an organophosphate insecticide (NPIC, 2009). This class of insecticides kills insects by disrupting their brains and nervous systems (Rauner, B. 2016). These chemicals, unfortunately, also have the potential to harm the brains and nervous systems of animals and humans. Specifically, these chemicals stop a key enzyme in the nervous system, cholinesterase, from working. While certain classes are more poisonous than others, over all the effects of Malathion depend on the concentration of exposure, length of time, and way the person is exposed. Malathion is also an ingredient in shampoos, regulated by the USDA to control head lice. While the risks and dangers of Malathion sound daunting, the actual research done shows that these are simply potential harms. In fact, Malathion, when used in moderate doses, typically shows a very low level of toxicity. The possible harm caused from Malathion is generally in extreme cases, with exceptional subjects, and in very high levels of exposure. When it comes down to it, Malathion is a perfectly safe to use
As a friend to many and a giver to all, John Dobbs was the type of person everyone either wanted to be around or inspired to be like.

This was a time where different machinery was created to make finished goods (The Market Revolution, n.d.). There were a few gentlemen that plaid a part in the industrialization. A gentleman name Cyrus McCormick developed and sold a machine called the reaper that made harvesting crops faster. Eli Whitney, creator of the cotton gin, made the machine that helped separating cotton from the seeds. Samuel Slater, “Slater the Traitor”, brought the textile mills to America. Charles Lowell opened doors for women by opening a series of textile
