Completely enjoying the moment and investing my energy in executing that trick as best as I could was so much fun. It was such a welcome diversion from some of the craziness and pressure of the year to focus on a goal that was completely embedded in making my own little piece of history. Finishing my run and hearing the cheers from all of the athletes, coaches, and staff at the bottom of the hill was such an unforgettable moment.

THUNDER BAY, Ontario -- It was the Mexican women's national team's first international appearance in the history of its program in 2019. Facing Nicaragua in the Pan-American Championships, Mexico turned to Rosi del Castillo, their star pitcher. She grew up having faced men's teams and had already made history, becoming Mexico's first professional female pitcher when she joined the Tamanche Azulejos, a team in the Liga Meridana in the Yucatan.

The first to present projected moving pictures to a paying audience were the Lumire brothers in December 1895 in Paris, France. They used a device of their own making, the Cinmatographe, which was a camera, a projector and a film printer all in one.

Conscious that the commonly trodden path after university is to find a job with a steady income, Juffali dabbled in finance in New York, spent a short spell at a start-up in London, and then toyed with the idea of opening a restaurant with her sister, but a chance encounter with prominent British racing driver Susie Wolff encouraged her to take the ultimate leap of faith. In December 2017 she became the first Saudi Arabian woman to gain a racing license and the following October she lined up for the TRD86 Cup in Abu Dhabi where she blazed into the world of motorsports by ranking second and third in two races.

That's Christina Unkel, a former FIFA referee and current CBS sports analyst. She's one of many who were elated to see three women referees officiate a men's World Cup match for the first time in the tournament's history - Stephanie Frappart, Neuza Back and Karen Diaz.

M&Ms were first released in 1941, and since then have had an oversized impact on American popular culture. From their beginnings as snacks for World War II soldiers, to their time aboard both the first and last NASA space missions, here are some of the highlights in their long history.

The Texas Rangers won their first World Series Championship at the beginning of this month and in doing so they became one of a handful of teams in recent history to win their first World Series title joining the Washington Nationals (2019), Houston Astros (2017), Arizona Diamondbacks (2001) and Florida Marlins (1997).

The next oldest franchise on the list is the Seattle Mariners, who began play in 1977. Despite having several Hall of Fame caliber players come through their doors over the years, such as Ken Griffey Jr., Randy Johnson, Alex Rodriguez and Ichiro Suzuki, the Mariners are the only MLB team to have never made an appearance in the World Series. The team has only made it to the American League Championship Series (ALCS) three times in its history. The first was in 1995 when they lost the series four games to two to the Cleveland Indians, who currently have the longest drought between World Series titles at 75 years. The Mariners lost by the same margin to the New York Yankees in their second appearance in 2000 and in their last appearance, in 2001, the Mariners lost to the Yankees again four games to one.

It could be years before one of the remaining five teams wins its first title, but in the meantime, it will be fun to see if any of these teams can put together a run to add another chapter to baseball history.

Fnality, a blockchain-based wholesale payments firm, said on Thursday that shareholders Lloyds Banking Group, Santander, and UBS had completed the "world's first" live transactions that digitally represent funds held at a central bank.

Her first international goal came 19 years ago. It was the 2000 Algarve Cup in Portugal, and Sinclair was making her debut for Canada's senior team. She scored her first goal against Norway on March 14, and then scored two more over the course of the tournament.

Since the First Crusade in 1096, paper manufacturing in Damascus had been interrupted by wars, but its production continued in two other centres. Egypt continued with the thicker paper, while Iran became the center of the thinner papers. Papermaking was diffused across the Islamic world, from where it travelled further toward west into Europe.[62] Paper manufacture was introduced to India in the 13th century by Arab merchants, where it almost wholly replaced traditional writing materials.[60]

Arab prisoners who settled in a town called Borgo Saraceno in the Italian Province of Ferrara introduced Fabriano artisans in the Province of Ancona[clarification needed] the technique of making paper by hand. At the time they were renowned for their wool-weaving and manufacture of cloth. Fabriano papermakers considered the process of making paper by hand an art form and were able to refine the process to successfully compete with parchment which was the primary medium for writing at the time. They developed the application of stamping hammers to reduce rags to pulp for making paper, sizing paper by means of animal glue, and creating watermarks in the paper during its forming process. The Fabriano used glue obtained by boiling scrolls or scraps of animal skin to size the paper; it is suggested that this technique was recommended by the local tanneries. The introduction of the first European watermarks in Fabriano was linked to applying metal wires on a cover laid against the mould which was used for forming the paper.[81]

The American paper industry began with the establishment of the first paper mill in British America in 1690 by William Rittenhouse of Philadelphia with the help of Pennsylvania's first printer, William Bradford. For two decades it would remain the only mill in the colonies, and for the next two centuries the city would remain the preeminent center of paper manufacturing and publishing. The first paper mills relied solely on rag paper production, with cotton rags generally imported from Europe. However, by the mid-19th century the sulfite process had begun to proliferate in other regions with better access to wood pulp, and by 1880, America had become the largest producer of paper goods in the world. While the Delaware Valley remained an important region in paper production and publishing through the late nineteenth century, Philadelphia was overtaken by regions using these new processes which had greater access to water power and wood pulp.[86]

The earliest of these mills were centered in New England and Upstate New York, the latter of which became home to International Paper, the largest pulp and paper company in the world, which held a 20% market share in 2017,[87] and at its peak produced more than 60% of the continent's newsprint in 1898, before an industry shift to Canada.[88] Chief among papermaking cities in New England and the world was Holyoke, Massachusetts, at one time making 80% of the writing paper of the United States and home to the ill-fated American Writing Paper Company, the world's largest producer of fine papers by 1920.[89][90] By 1885 the Paper City, as it is still called, produced 190 tons per day, more than twice Philadelphia's capacity.[91] Quickly it became a hub of paper machinery and turbine technology, host to the largest paper mills in the world in the 1890s, and D. H. & A. B. Tower, the largest paper mill engineering firm in the United States in the 19th century.[92] The Tower Brothers and their associates would be responsible for designing mills on five continents.[93] In the United States the firm supported the Berkshires' paper industry, building the first mills used to make U.S. currency by the Crane Company, as well as the first sulfite process mills of Kimberly Clark in Wisconsin, allowing the company to be the first west of the Appalachians to adopt the process, with access to vast forest resources.[94][95]

Donald Hill has identified a possible reference to a water-powered paper mill in Samarkand, in the 11th-century work of the Persian scholar Abu Rayhan Biruni, but concludes that the passage is "too brief to enable us to say with certainty" that it refers to a water-powered paper mill.[103] This is seen by Halevi as evidence of Samarkand first harnessing waterpower in the production of paper, but notes that it is not known if waterpower was applied to papermaking elsewhere across the Islamic world at the time.[104] Burns remains sceptical, given the isolated occurrence of the reference and the prevalence of manual labour in Islamic papermaking elsewhere prior to the 13th century.[105]

Then in the 1830s and 1840s, two men on two different continents took up the challenge, but from a totally new perspective. Both Friedrich Gottlob Keller and Charles Fenerty began experiments with wood but using the same technique used in paper making; instead of pulping rags, they thought about pulping wood. And at about the same time, by mid-1844, they announced their findings. They invented a machine which extracted the fibres from wood (exactly as with rags) and made paper from it. Charles Fenerty also bleached the pulp so that the paper was white. This started a new era for paper making. By the end of the 19th-century almost all printers in the western world were using wood instead of rags to make paper.[116] e24fc04721
