DID YOU KNOW THAT . . . Facebook was launched eight years ago, on February 4, 2004? Back then it was called "Thefacebook", and it was originally located at "thefacebook.com", but it is definitely one and the same project. Founded by Mark Zuckerberg, together with his college roommates Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes, Facebook was originally intended to be a network only for Harvard students, but was later expanded to other universities and finally to everyone. By far, Facebook is the biggest social network on the Internet today. It boasts more than 800 million users worldwide - or 40% of all Internet users - and is estimated to reach 1 billion members by August. Behind Google, it is the number one most-visited website worldwide.

Kevlar - The Strongest Material Known to Mankind
 |
| Kevlar |
DID YOU KNOW THAT . . . The strongest material known to mankind is called a Kevlar? It was invented by a Polish-American chemist, Stephen Kwolek in 1971. Kevlar is a chemical compound - polyparaphenylene terepthalamide which belongs to the class aromatic polyamide - a para-aramid synthetic fibre which gives Kevlar its high strength and thermal stability. Kevlar is 5 times stronger than steel but is very light weight and half the weight of fiberglass which makes it ideal for making bulletproof vests. It is resistant to impact and abrasion damage. In seawater, its strength is 20 times more than steel which also makes it excellent for offshore drilling operations. Kevlar is made by Dupont Corporation.
