Hi All, During this week in 1860 the corkscrew was patented, I believe that up until then wine was only available in plastic bags encased in cardboard boxes. In 1865 Outdoor advertising legislation was enacted in New York City which outlawed painting on stones, rocks and trees, undoubtedly as a result of the proliferation of corkscrew advertising which was turning up on stones, rocks and trees throughout Manhattan. In 1874 Poet Robert Frost was born and in 1882 German physician Robert Koch discovered the bacillus that causes tuberculosis. Isabelle Frost was most disgruntled when she was informed that she couldn’t tell of the birth of her Pulitzer Prize winning son on the stones, rocks and trees of New York City. Dr. Koch had similar feelings and thought that this law had slowed dissemination of his discovery significantly. On Thursday the 2nd of April Miranda Newell will be running a “Finding Journal Articles” class in eZone1 at 10am. If I get the chance I will advertise this class on the stones, rocks and trees of New York City,( I have visited New York City recently and evidence suggests the law has been repealed), otherwise, I’ll just mention it here.
