Henry Ford
1. Modern production methods took a giant leap forward in 1913 when Henry Ford introduced the use of the assembly line in the production of automobiles. In those days, workers simply picked a spot on the factory floor, and assembled the car from the bottom up. As business grew, Ford began manufacturing many of the component parts formerly purchased from suppliers. Typically, the components were put together by one worker who performed all the operations necessary to assemble them. The method was quite costly, and so only the wealthy could afford to buy automobiles in those days.
2. This did not please Henry Ford who wanted to bring the price of automobiles down to the point where most families could afford them. The key to achieving this goal, in Ford's view, was through the improvement of labour productivity. He needed to find a way to 1) limit the number of operations performed by each worker, 2) bring the work to the worker rather than the other way around, and 3) perform each operation in the most efficient sequence he could find. He found what he was seeking in his new creation: the assembly line.
3. Ford's first line, introduced in April 1913, was used to assemble generators. Working in the old way, one worker had been able to put together 25 to 30 generators in a 9-hour day. This translated to something around 20 minutes per assembly. The new line broke the operation into 29 steps performed by individual workers on parts that were brought to them by the steadily moving assembly line. The new process reduced assembly time to an average of 13 minutes per generator.
4. One year later, additional experimentation divided production into 84 operations and reduced assembly time to 5 minutes per generator. Assembly line methods brought the price of automobiles within the reach of millions of American families. Henry Ford was not an economist, but his assembly lines had changed dramatically both American households and its factories.

Owing to its beauty the Kremlin was considered to be one of the finest fortresses of its epoch. It impressed all foreigners that came to the capital. However, its secrets were carefully kept, and speaking of the walls of the Moscow “castle” Englishmen said that no foreigner was allowed to have a close look at the walls of the fortress.
Now there are 20 towers in the Moscow Kremlin; the Italian architects – Antonio Fryasin and Pietro Solari – were made responsible for the main work. At the end of the 15th century, the length of the Kremlin wall was more than 2 km.
The oldest Kremlin Tower Tainitskaya (Secret) was built in 1485. It faces the Moscow River and its name is connected with a secret underground passage to the river so that the citizens were not left without water in case of a siege.

The main difference between normal and cancer is one of the growth and differentiation: most cancer cells are in their structure more like those of the young organism (fetus) than those of the adult.
They generally grow and divide more rapidly and in a disorganized fashion, but normal cells only divide and grow until they come into contact with adjacent cells and then stop their growth.
Researchers have tried to treat cancers by using drugs which inhibit the division of cells. The most rapidly dividing cancer cells will be affected by these drugs before the more slowly growing normal cells.
The major problem in cancer research now is concentrated on trying to find out the more delicate difference between cancer and normal cells.
