Where did Thomas Edison go on vacation

Thomas Edison, inventor of the electric light and many other inventions, was well-known for his intensive concentration on work. At the age of twelve, he was hired to sell city newspapers and candy to people travelling by train. He sold more papers than all the other boys, but he wasn’t satisfied with his success and wanted to achieve more and he had an idea: he decided to write and sell copies of his own newspaper. That, however, didn’t keep him busy enough, during the same time he set up a small laboratory in the back of a baggage car of the train. One day an accident happened: while making an experiment, the young Edison spilled some chemicals that caused a fire and he lost his job.  

As an adult he was also tireless at work and he often had trouble understanding that not everyone shared his enthusiasm for work. Once, he noticed that his workers were constantly checking the factory clock during working hours. He came up with an original idea to change this habit. He installed many clocks throughout the factory, and made sure that each clock showed a different time. The employees were so confused that they gave up trying to figure out the correct time and turned their attention back to work.

Edison’s dedication to work showed itself not only at the laboratory and the factory but in his home as well. Once, when for several weeks his wife had been asking him to take a much-needed vacation, he finally replied that he couldn’t decide where to go. She then told him to pick the one place where he would like to be more than anywhere else on Earth. He agreed and said “I’ll go tomorrow.” Edison kept his word and the next morning he went directly to his laboratory. His passion for work was just as matchless as his genius for inventing things.

Two riverside Society a new destination for contemporary living in Reading

The publication of the local planning authority’s Supplementary Planning guidance, entitled “Urban Design Concept Statement for the Kenavon Drive Area”, demonstrates both the potential for the area and the real commitment that exists to transform Kenavon Drive into a vibrant new riverside community. Several hundred new flats have been recently completed nearby, and there is considerable potential for further enhancement of the area both to the east and the west, where it is expected that two sites, each of roughly 2.5 acres, will become available. The subsequent increase in dwellings (each up to 300 new homes) will only add to the vibrancy of this emerging area. In essence, the location is a rare example of a town site a short riverside walk from the commercial heart of the town, yet within a waterside setting with river walks and meadows, and a short walk from the open countryside. As Mike Dix, Sales director of the developer company said that the two riverside society is a site of a rare quality and location, lying less than ¾ mile from both reading town centre and mainline station yet benefiting from a waterside setting. However there is a huge competition as there are several other new and highly successful apartments that have recently been completed or approaching completion in the immediate area, including Blakes Quay and the Meridian to the west of the site and Kings Reach to the north of the site. The site is offered for sale by Private treaty by way of the sale of the two SPV holding companies. The seller reserves the right not to accept the highest or any offer and also reserves the right to withdraw the property from sale at any time without notice; Offers are invited by 12 noon on Friday 22^nd July 2005. The best three offerors will then be given a further opportunity to confirm or rebid their offers by 12 noon on Friday 5^th August 2005.
