How to celebrate Look On The Bright-Side Day

Celebrating this day is possibly one of the easiest celebrations that can exist, for all we have to do is go outside into the world, take a walk through the streets with a smile on our faces as we call friends to spend time together. Once the time to spend with friends comes around, we can talk about our day and theirs, smiling and laughing at the jokes they make while either having a drink or just playing some video games to pass the time and socialize with them. Being positive is not all about wearing a smile upon our faces, it is about being happy in our minds and hearts. So get together with your friends and family, and help uplift their day and yours by looking on the bright side.

Flashlights, as they are known as in the United States, have been a fundamental way to help us see our paths that we walk in the pitch black night. They help us to keep an eye out for dangers in the path or help us find our way back to where we began walking from. Today we're going to look at the history of Flashlight Day, so let us grab our flashlights and go searching in the cave of the past!

History of Flashlight Day

Let's take a look at the history of the flashlight itself and see how it came into creation. The flashlight is a portable, battery powered light source that is called a torch outside of North America. With the invention of the dry cell and miniature incandescent electric light bulbs, it soon allowed the first battery-powered flashlights to be possible around the year 1899. In 1887, the very first dry cell battery was invented. Unlike previous batteries, it used an electrolyte paste instead of a liquid electrolyte.

This was the very first battery actually suitable for portable electrical devices that were safe, as it did not spill or break easily and worked in any orientation, unlike the liquid electrolyte batteries. The first mass-produced dry cell batteries started coming in around 1896, and the invention of portable electric lights soon followed suit. Flashlights had become extremely popular in China around the 1930's, with around sixty companies making flashlights for the population of China, some even selling for as little as one-third of the cost of equivalent imported models that were being shipped out at the time.

How to celebrate Flashlight Day

To celebrate this day there are a few ways to do so actually. The first option is to gather a bunch of friends together in a group and hide in the woods or thick areas behind our homes, one person does not have a flashlight, and they must search for the others, who have to flash their lights once every five minutes as to give the seeker a clue as to where they are. A second way to celebrate, is to make a box fort, and in every corner of the fort, cut a hole in the top with enough room to hold the flashlight in place and use them as spotlights. How many ways can you think of to celebrate Flashlight Day? We're sure you can brighten up the world with your ideas!'

History of Crossword Puzzle Day

First released in a New York World' newspaper edition on December 21, 1913, the crossword puzzle soon became the pastime of the more astute folk. The modern version of these ancestral puzzles is the invention of Arthur Wynne, a British-born violinist and journalist who emigrated to Pennsylvania when he was 19.

A century down the line, everybody who is moderately confident in their grey cells' output is scribbling carbon-made capital letters on a piece of crumpled newspaper every morning. Given the many benefits of stimulating the brain with games and mental challenges, one could be as bold as to say that A crossword puzzle a day keeps Alzheimer's away' (all other factors, mainly biological, excluded).

What is certain is that keeping the mind active and learning new things is a way to stave off many of the causes of senility, and that greater vocabularies are associated with better communication and a better ability to

There's something about a short girl, that delightfully compact and curvy phenomena that happens when a blessing of genetics realizes that less is more. It seems like evolution did them a favor and made up for their lack of vertical stature by packing those delightful frames with enough vim and vinegar to take on the world. They may be physically smaller, but they sure seem to live larger. Short Girls are all the rage, and Short Girl Appreciation Day is our opportunity to raise them up above the crowds.
