Have you ever sat on the toilet and thought to yourself where did the toilet actually come from? Well back in ancient times people dug holes into the ground, and after they were done they would cover the hole back up. Other people use outhouses, and that was not very sanitary. It was not until 1596, when Sir John Harrington, in the country of England, created the first flushing toilet. It was not very popular and it had the flushing system right above your head. When the toilet became really popular until Alexander Cummings made the toilet with the S-valve in 1775. This is why toilets are the greatest invention in the world.
If you had guests over you would want your house to smell good, right? Well when Alexander Cummings made the S-valve
In addition, there is the great debate of who was the inventor of the game of baseball: Was it Abner Doubleday in 1839 or Alexander Cartwright Jr. in 1845? Historians say Abner Doubleday invented the game know as baseball in Cooperstown, New York in the year of 1839. While baseball became America’s beloved National Pastime, Doubleday then went on to become a civil war hero. Historians don’t think this story is true, as a matter of fact they don’t think it’s even in the ballpark. Doubleday was still at West Point in 1839, and he also never claimed that he had anything to do with baseball, some sources say. Dating back to the 18th century two games that were combined together to resemble baseball were rounders and cricket. Alexander Cartwright Jr. combined the games of rounders and cricket to create the game of baseball.
During the industrial revolution household rubbish was frequently thrown into narrow streets and the air was filled with black smoke from the factory’s chimney. Dirty streets and cramped living were a perfect breeding space for diseases. More than 31,000 people died during an outbreak of cholera in 1832 and families were inflicted with typhus, smallpox, and dysentery. Most Families were living in houses in unsanitary terrible built homes. Meaning more ‘better’ homes had to be built. In the rush to build homes, many were constructed too quickly in terraced rows. Some of these houses had small yards at the rear were most toilets was placed. Others had ‘back to back’ communal toilets. The more people that were living in these states, it quickly
...ion of it being used by everywhere and everyone was present too. William J. R. Curtis in his book ’Le Corbusier: ideas and forms,’ explains the importance and functionality of the Citrohan Housing System:
Before the 19th Century, sewage disposal was virtually unknown until the first American cities were built around the 1700’s. Human waste was originally disposed of in the woods, but some wealthy Virginians built large houses and used chamber pots to "do their business" indoors, and the contents would be thrown into the back yard. Later, as towns developed, waste was tossed into the streets to decompose or be washed away in the rainstorms (Virginia Places, 2010). Privies or outhouses were also built in back yards and were commonly used to dispose of waste. Toilets, also known as “water closets,” were put into homes in the mid 19th Century in the United States. The water closet had indoor plumbing where piping was run through the roof, and a gravity ...
Benjamin Franklin’s inventions were as revolutionary as the century itself. Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston, Massachusetts January 17, 1706. Franklin grew up to be a great man who would help greatly in the creation of our nation. Although Ben Franklin is greatly known, not much attention is put into his great inventions; the Franklin stove, bifocals, and the mapping of the Gulf Stream where some of his inventions.

Because of insufficient and poorly trained staff commonly found in nursing homes. Care givers are often overworked and grossly underpaid, which often results in rude and abusive behavior towards vulnerable residents who beg them for simple needs such as water or to be taken to the bathroom. Federal and State laws require that nursing homes develop a plan of care and employ sufficient staffing to provide all the care listed in the care plan. Most corporate-owned nursing homes today are not sufficiently staffed, and they can not provide all the care listed on the care plan. Consequently, residents are not taken to the toilet when necessary; they’re often left lying in urine and feces.

Throughout the Middle Ages armour evolved greatly and so the need to be able to kill the people wearing it also greatly increased, this was further fuelled by people wanting to secure their own piece of land.

Major – What was the effect of the crossbow on the way medieval battles were fought?

There's nothing worse than when someone goes to the toilet and leaves their utter stench of last nights meal behind them. Then, it always happens, they think they can make it all better by spraying some air freshener. Instead of making things better, they get worse. The air condition goes from unbearable to lethal. When the stench particles combine with the air freshener, it makes a deadly mask that seems to forever hang. Even napalm gas is better than this.
The gas mask, ever wondered who invented it? If not, then what about the traffic light? Well, Garrett A Morgan invented both of them. You may not have heard of him simply because Morgan been buried under and never spoken of simply because Morgan was a minority back when racism and sexism were extremely common. So they basically never talked about him inventing anything, and now not many people know about him. Both of his inventions are one of the greatest inventions to date.
“I find out what the world needs. Then I go ahead and try to invent it (Sullivan 5).” These are the word that Thomas Alva Edison lived his life by. This is why he is known as the greatest inventor in Americas history. Thomas was granted 1093 patents over his life time. Some of the main inventions that changed the world are the electric light bulb, phonograph and movie camera and projector and much more(Jenkins 1). Thomas Edison is well known for his invention of electricity but he has made many more contributions to society.
Thomas (Alva) Edison was one of America’s most important and famous inventors. Edison was born into a time and place where there wasn’t much technological advancements. His inventions helped a lot of things quickly change in the world. His inventions contributed to many inventions today such as the night light, movies, telephones, and records and CDs.
For example, if u paint a wall, the house will most likely smell making it hard to breathe.
Throughout the history, buildings and apartments are all constructed in low-rise applications, causing huge amounts of land being consumed in such a small area. The reason why these structures are built in such a low level is because there was nothing to rise people up to higher levels. The invention of the elevator has had a great contribution towards the solution of this problem, which not only allows people to have the ability to get to higher floors, and also decreases the amount of land being used in our small city. Besides these solutions that the elevator has contributed greatly to, the elevator has also impacted strongly on a few aspects in our society, including environmental and social issues.
