VIAGRA HISTORY (Source:WIKIPEDIA)

Sildenafil (compound UK-92,480) was synthesized by a group of pharmaceutical chemists working at Pfizer's Sandwich, Kent research facility in England. It was initially studied for use in hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina pectoris (a symptom of ischaemic heart disease). The first clinical trials were conducted in Morriston Hospital in Swansea.[1] Phase I clinical trials under the direction of Ian Osterloh suggested that the drug had little effect on angina, but that it could induce marked penile erections.[2][3] Pfizer therefore decided to market it for erectile dysfunction, rather than for angina. The drug was patented in 1996, approved for use in erectile dysfunction by the US Food and Drug Administration on March 27, 1998, becoming the first oral treatment approved to treat erectile dysfunction in the United States, and offered for sale in the United States later that year.[4] It soon became a great success: annual sales of Viagra in the period 1999–2001 exceeded $1 billion.[citation needed]The British press portrayed Peter Dunn and Albert Wood as the inventors of the drug, a claim which Pfizer disputes.[5] Their names are on the manufacturing patent application drug, but Pfizer claims this is only for convenience.[citation needed]Even though sildenafil is available only by prescription from a doctor, it was advertised directly to consumers on U.S. TV (famously being endorsed by former United States Senator Bob Dole and soccer star Pelé). Numerous sites on the Internet offer Viagra for sale after an "online consultation", often a simple web questionnaire.[citation needed] The "Viagra" name has become so well known that many fake aphrodisiacs now call themselves "herbal Viagra" or are presented as blue tablets imitating the shape and colour of Pfizer's product. Viagra is also informally known as "Vitamin V", "the Blue Pill", as well as various other nicknames.[6]In 2000, Viagra sales accounted for 92 percent of the global market for prescribed erectile dysfunction pills.[7] By 2007, Viagra's global share had plunged to about 50 percent[8] due to several factors, including the entry of Cialis and Levitra, along with several other counterfeits and clones, and reports of vision loss in people taking PDE5 inhibitors.[9][10]In February 2007, it was announced that Boots the Chemist would trial over the counter sales of Viagra in stores in Manchester, England. Men aged between 30 and 65 would be eligible to buy four tablets after a consultation with a pharmacist.[11]Pfizer's worldwide patents on sildenafil citrate will expire in 2011–2013. The UK patent held by Pfizer on the use of PDE5 inhibitors (see below) as treatment of impotence was invalidated in 2000 because of obviousness; this decision was upheld on appeal in 2002.

ADOBE HISTORY (Source:WIKIPEDIA)



John Warnock and Charles Geschke in picture, former Xerox executives, met working in the PARC (Research Center Palo Alto, Calif.). Soon they teamed up and developed a revolutionary innovation of a standard computer language and scalable-font called PostScript. When Xerox refused to market the product, both of them left the company and founded Adobe Systems in 1982. PostScript is a high-level computer language that communicates precise descriptions of computer generated graphics, photos, and text to any output device with a PostScript interpreter.


Soon in 1985, Apple licensed Adobe PostScript helping to form the backbone of the revolution in publishing.In the late 80s, after the popularisation of PostScript, Adobe released Adobe Illustrator, which soon became one of the essential software for professional graphics. The existence of these two technologies would be the basis on which created the PDF format and Adobe Acrobat.In February 1990 came the first version of Photoshop that eventually would become one of its best-selling products.




Pdf, the paperless office? John Warnock wanted to reduce the consumption of paper in offices, thus began an internal project to create a file format for documents that could be distributed by the company, to be on any computer, regardless of operating system. Adobe already had two things that almost fit with the idea: The PostScript (a device-independent technology and platform used to describe documents) and Adobe Illustrator (created in 1987, a program that operated on different platforms, which could open up and show PostScript files very simple). In 1993, Adobe engineers improved both technologies and created a new file format Pdf (Portable Document File).

THE SIMPSONS


The Simpsons are a typical family who live in a fictional "Middle American" town of Springfield. Homer, the father, works as a safety inspector at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant—a position at odds with his careless, buffoonish personality. He is married to Marge Simpson, a stereotypical American housewife and mother. They have three children: Bart, a ten-year-old troublemaker; Lisa, a precocious eight-year-old activist; and Maggie, a baby who rarely speaks, but communicates by sucking on a pacifier. The family owns a dog, Santa's Little Helper, and a cat, Snowball II. Both pets have had starring roles in several episodes. Despite the passing of yearly milestones such as holidays or birthdays, the Simpsons do not physically age and still appear just as they did at the end of the 1980s.
