Giorgio Armani

Fashion Designer Giorgio Armani was born on July 11, 1934, in Piacenza, about 50 miles south of Milan, in the region of Emilia-Romagna, Italy. He attended medical school for two years, dabbled in photography, fulfilled his military obligations in 1957, then worked in a prestigious department store, La Rinascente, as a window dresser. He joined Nino Cerruti as a designer of 1961-1970. Armani began a free-lance design business in 1970 with the encouragement of his friend Sergio Galeotti, and established his own menswear label in 1974. He gradually adapted his designs for women and added women's wear line in 1975, in partnership with Galeotti (who passed away in 1985). Her sister Rosanna Armani teamed up with Armani as head of corporate communications activities.


Giorgio Armani
Armani, whose relaxed designs for women are inspired by men's wear, also uses men's wear fabrics in his sophisticated, unstructured jackets and suits for women. With this approach, Armani has set new standards of elegance: easy-fit garments for women, precisely cut and beautifully tailored.

He is known as a workaholic, which can sometimes be rude and arrogant. His dislike of fellow Italian designers Gianni Versace and Valentino has recently been pushed to the interests of the international press. In May, 1996, Armani was convicted of corruption in Italy, among other fellow designers like Ferre.

Armani has a house in Broni, Forte dei Marmi and Pantelleria (Italy), and in St Tropez (French Riviera).

Edwin L Drake

Edwin L Drake, Father of Modern Petroleum Industry
History of the modern oil industry can not escape the name of Edwin Drake Laurentin. The first commercial drilling of petroleum in the world when Edwin L Drake with his company Senca Oil Company discovered oil in Titusville America. He managed to remove the oil from the earth. The well is made in the middle of agricultural areas in northwestern Pennsylvania. Drake chose the location for the business of oil drilling because of earlier citizens of the region is often found when digging oil wells to find water. The first oil well was known as The Drake Well and the success of the first oil drilling is to start oil exploration around the world. Laurentin Edwin Drake was born in March 1819 in Greenville, New York, United States.



Drake is also known as Colonel Drake. Her father, Lyman Drake and his mother Laura (Nee Lee) Drake. He grew up in farming families around Castleton and New York State, Rutland County, Vermont before leaving home at age 19 years. He spent his life working on the railroad in New Haven, Connecticut as a clerk, conductor and express agent. During that time he married Philena Adams who died while giving birth to her second child in 1854. Drake married again three years later to Laura Dowd in 1857.


Laurentin Edwin Drake claims the title as the Father of Modern Petroleum Industry as on date of August 27, 1859 the first commercial oil drilling in Titusville, Pennsylvania. His discovery began when one day the eyes of drill touches the oil layer at a depth of 69.5 feet (21 meters). Kerosene is known prior to this, there is no market that can be assessed for it. Samuel Martin Kier credited with establishing first U.S. oil refinery in Pittsburgh. He was the first in the United States to refine crude oil into lamp oil (kerosene) a new market to replace whale oil as lamp oil Seneca Oil formed in 1858 by George Bissell and Jonathan Eveleth initially contacted the Pennsylvania Rock Oil Company. They created the company after learning the report on petroleum collected from a source of oil in Titusville,



Pennsylvania is suitable for use as lamp fuel was whale oil. Bissell found that this would be a practical alternative if a method could be devised to refine oil from the ground. Interest in the Pennsylvania Rock Oil Company was originally a low to a report by Eveleth and Bissell showed that there is significant value in the oil economy. Before being offered a job by Eveleth and Bissell, Drake bought the shares at the Seneca Oil. But the company got the job opportunities for both parties live in the same hotel in Titusville. He was hired with a salary of $ 1,000 a year investigating the seepage of oil on land owned by Reference Biography: Seneca Oil. Edwin Drake was hired by Seneca Oil Company to investigate suspected to be the place of oil deposits in Titusville, Pennsylvania. James Townsend, President of the Seneca Oil Company, sent Drake to the source location in 1858. Drake bought a steam engine in Erie, Pennsylvania, to move the drilling machine. Wells dug on an island in the Oil Creek took a lot of time to penetrate the layers of rocks.


At 16 feet (5 m) side of the hole began to collapse. They made him begin to despair. But not Drake. That makes the idea for her to make the steering tube. This iron pipe consisting of a ten foot connection. Pipe driven into the ground. At 32 feet (10 m) they hit a rock. The tool then lowered through the drill pipe and the steam engine used to drill rock. Drilling is slow. Progress gained only three feet (1 m) per day. The crowd began to flout the seemingly non-productive operations. Drake was running out of money, with wonderful Seneca Oil Company which has left Drake, they had to rely on friends to re-try. On August 27 Drake drilling has reached total depth of 69.5 feet (21 m). Billy Smith, studying and preparing for the job opening.


He was surprised to see crude oil that comes out. Drake summoned and brought to the surface oil with a pump. Oil is collected in a bath tub. Famous Drake pioneered a new method for producing oil from the ground he memasangn pipe-lines to prevent the drill hole collapsed to penetrate further into the ground. Previous methods to collect oil that rely on very limited oil seepage where it occurs naturally, or dig a shallow hole into the ground. Drake an important step to take is to guide the thirty-two iron pipes to the ground into the rock below. Drake drilled in the pipe, without the hole collapsing from water seepage. The principle idea is still practiced today by many companies that drill for hydrocarbons.



Drake Well in Titusville is the first well that was widely imitated. In a day of Drake's striking oil, Drake's methods are emulated by others along Oil Creek and in the immediate area. This culminated with the establishment of a city suddenly rising prices of oil along the bay. Drake wells producing 25 barrels (4.0 m3) of oil per day. In 1871, the entire area was producing 5.8 million barrels (920 000 m3) per year. Drake that provides trading business to refine and sell oil. But, while his pioneering work in the direction of growth in the oil industry that made an incredibly rich man, Drake riches proved the least .. Drake did not control a good business acumen. He failed to get his patent drill discovery. Then he lost all of his savings in oil speculation in 1863. He was to end up as a weak father and husband. In 1872, Pennsylvania gave $ 1,500 allowance for "the bankrupt" to find the oil industry. Drake died 9 November 1880 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, at the age of 61 years. where he lived since 1874. He and his wife were buried in Titusville, built a memorial in his honor.

He is famous for its influence on the world of entertainment in the 20th century. As co-founder Walt Disney Productions (along with Roy O. Disney), Disney became one of the most famous film producer in the world. a publisher in the world famous films. The company he founded, now known as The Walt Disney Company, now has annual revenues of approximately $ 35 billion. Disney is famous as a film producer and showman, as well as an innovator in animation and theme park design. He and his men created the world famous characters, like Mickey Mouse voiced by Disney himself. He has won 26 Academy Awards from 59 nominations. In addition, Disney also won seven Emmy Awards. Walter Elias Disney was born in Chicago on December 5, 1901. His mother, Flora Call, is a German woman, while his father, Elias Disney, a Canadian of Irish descent.


But there is one idea that has always bothered Walt Disney thought the idea of ​​working alone, especially since he had heard that some employees would be required when the busy season passes. He was excited by the prospect of it for two reasons. First, he wanted to stand alone and the second, he really wanted to do something new and original, not only meet the wishes of the boss and the customers. Disney, along with a friend, Ube Iwerks, who founded the first art dealer advertising. The first customers are a series of restaurants. Disney and his friend managed to make a deal with the restaurant to establish his workshop in building a new restaurant without paying the slightest. In return they make a poster ad for the restaurant. In addition to working to fulfill this contract, they are free to work on other projects. To attract customers, Walt designed a special plan. He went to a store or company and find out if they have a piece of art.


The person in charge may be answered that part was not needed. Then Walt would offer his services on a freelance basis, the relationship off. But whenever any such work to be done, Walt and his friends are ready to provide services. In a short time, the workings of such a possible Walt and his friends to save enough money that can not be collected suppose they work on a single company. This business seems to give great hope, but one day Walt found an ad in the newspaper stating that the Kansas City Film Ad Company requires a cartoonist. He faces a dilemma: Should he maintain his business with the UBE or will try to fulfill his dream of making animated cartoons? These considerations led him to take the job burdensome. In 1920, Disney finally entered the world of animated cartoons. He will soon create a name for himself in that field, and figures his role will be popular all over the world. KC Film Ac Company holds responsibility for all aspects of advertising films and before long realized the ability of this young cartoonist. Originality and vision of Walt about the stuff around him the envy of his colleagues. He had a brilliant idea to make some paintings and celluloid, then photographed and accumulated and eventually filmed. Walt Disney knew that he was right and after months of persuading his boss, Walt eventually allowed to bring home one of the camera company to do some experimenting. Since then, Walt Disney never looked back again.


In an empty garage that has been overhauled so the studio, he began making short animated films using the technique rekaannya. He then showed the results to a well-known leader bisokop. The man was very impressed. Sketches and film techniques that Walt is very different from before. The first cartoon film which opens in movie theaters. At first, the cartoons are meant to replace the ads that viewers continue to enjoy what appears on screen during the time interval. Walt said that films Laugh-O-Grams. Cartoons Walt Reference Biography: the audience loved it and since Walt Disney in Kansas City is no longer derided as the eccentric but well-respected young man. In a short time Disney became famous in the city. It returns a borrowed camera and bought his own camera with his savings. Cartoons are becoming increasingly popular. Walt Disney hired a larger office space for small businesses, Laugh-O-Grams Corporation with initial capital of $ 15,000. He hired a few interns and a salesman to promote the Laugh-O-Grams in New York City.



His dream to come true self when she was only 20 years old. He then decided to get out of the KC Film to work itself fully. But success does not happen by itself. High production costs and perfectionist attitude Walt Disney (who make all the money he put back the results to improve results), in addition to a very limited market, soon lead to bankruptcy. Although the state faces a troubled department. Walt Disney did not despair. There is an idea in his brain. On one night in July 1923, by bringing all the money in the pocket of his old suit of oil cloth gray, gaunt young man boarded the train is headed Hollywood.


He was strongly determined to become an important person in the world of cinema. When he arrived in Hollywood, Walt Disney is just one among many who expect to realize his ideals. His older brother Ray had lived in California for some time, and he happily invited her sister to stay at his house. Walt started to visit the film studios one by one. Disney soon realized how difficult it into the Hollywood film studios. Walt Disney did not become discouraged by it. The experience taught him that people should be fully self-reliant. He drew the comic films with the purpose of sale to the cinema business. He only uses the experience already gained in Kansas City with the Laugh-O-Grams. There's a movie theater owner who was so impressed that he bought a radiant comic film. He even ordered a series of stories Alice in Wonderland which has begun to be made by Walt Disney in Kansas.


Disney to offer $ 1,500 cash. Walt Disney with the proceeds buy a house and even build your own movie studio. After the movie Alice in Wonderland, Walt wanted to create something new and completely original. Thus was born a clever little creatures called Mickey Mouse, the name given by Disney's wife, Lillian Bounds. Mickey Mouse quickly became a big star in the world even more famous than Hollywood stars. As the company continues to grow, he decided in 1930 to establish his own school, where he will teach you all the cartoon animation techniques to prospective cartoonists. The school was soon started to look like a zoo.



You see, to make the characters more realistic cartoon Disney has transformed his classroom into a real life biological laboratory with a variety of animals are observed by the students in a variety of behavior and attitude while you sleep, watch, eat, and others. These observations will help him also to make documentary films about the wonders of nature in the future. In 1938, Disney introduced a canopy-length animated film of the first essay, Snow White. To make this film takes 2 years. The film is one of his great work. Not long after that, he built a modern film studio in Burbank, California. In that place he would employ as many as 1,500 people. After Duinia War II, Ray and Walt Disney received a contract from the Army to make a documentary and war posters. In the 1950s, Walt Disney's dream-Disneyland fantasmagorik began to flourish. At the time that Walt Disney created the most amount of film, Cinderella, Peter Pan and Bambi. The idea of ​​creating Disneyland appears, when he was a walk in the park with her two daughters, Sharon and Diana. He envisioned a vast park where children can meet with their loved cartoon characters. Disneyland finally materialized in Anaheim, California, in 1955. In 1985, Disneyland visitors are welcome to-250 million.


When Walt Disney died in 1966, cinema lost one of the greatest creators. Walt Disney received 900 marks of honor, 32 Oscars, five Emmys and five honorary doctorates, a pioneer in the history of animation and one of the world's richest man who has realized his dream far beyond his expectations.

Honda spent his childhood helping his father in a bicycle repair business. At 15 years, with no formal education, Honda moved to Tokyo to look for work. He obtained an apprenticeship at a workshop in 1922, and after his employment, he still worked there for six years before returning to his hometown to start his car repair business in 1928 at the age of 22 years.


Honda likes auto racing and created a record pace in 1936. He then suffered an injury in a severe accident - including broken bones in both wrists - and persuaded his wife to quit the race. Honda and concentrate on his business, and in 1937 he moved to the manufacture of piston rings, by establishing Tokai Seiki Heavy Industry (IBTS, Tokai Seiki Heavy Industry). In 1948 he sold the IBTS to Toyota for 450 000 yen (roughly equal to 1 million dollars when measured in 2003).

The journey of life and career

Soichiro Honda was born the first son of a blacksmith named Gihei Honda, in 1906 in a small village called Komyo (now called Tenryu), Japan. He was not adequate formal education and not very well at school. But the spirit and ideals are very high.
Various literature states that the initial interest in the world begins at a very young age. In 1922 he was working at Art Shokai shop, did not pursue his father's skill as a blacksmith. Work is not directly related to the engine as he wants but as a power cleaning service while taking care of babies from the owner of the garage, to the Honda shop owner found a real talent. Six years later he was believed to open up shop in Hamamatsu branch of Art Shokai. workshop that is paving the way next.
Initially, he felt that his shop is the only one in town, but soon he was faced with the fact that he is not alone. Soon came new competitors, but he has two steps to win the competition. First he received a repair shop that was rejected earlier by the other and both are working as quickly as possible so the customer does not take long to wait.


Soichiro but not the type who are satisfied with one success. He wanted a lot of ideas that need to be realized. For example the idea of ​​making wheels with metal spokes to replace wooden spokes. Membuatring obsession piston which was still hard to come by. Period, foreign-made rare and hard to be perfect. Piston ring is what made him go back to school at the age of 28 after struggling with a variety of experiments, made piston rings do not fit his expectations. It took three years to realize a project of this piston ring. But in times of war the world has finally become a supplier of military industry.


After the war, he had the idea to install the engine on a bike that is the forerunner of motorcycles at a later date. Initially he took advantage of second hand machines of war. When homemade is sold, extraordinary public response. Merchandise to sell quickly pushed him to make a motorcycle.


Despite a successful motorcycle, Honda was hit financial problems and even threatened with bankruptcy. He was a great inventor and mechanic, but not good at managing finances. This is then brought together with Takeo Fujisawa.


In the eyes of employees, Soichiro notoriously hard, even not infrequently he was "playing hand" in the real sense. Working with Soichiro means there are two options: move to another company or to learn with him. Besides a love of machinery, Soichiro alone in the crazy world of racing. It's also what later became the key to success. Of race, he got valuable input for product development. Even when newly entering the world of automobile manufacturing in 1962, just two years later, he immediately realized his dreams, falls in the arena of Formula 1.

While in the arena of mass production, Honda spawned a very popular product market, fuel-efficient and high-speed, which is a trade brand Honda until now.

Sakichi Toyoda Biography - Founder of Toyota

Sakichi Toyoda was a Japanese inventor and industrialist. He was born in Kosai, Shizuoka. Son of a poor carpenter, Toyoda is referred to as the "King of Japanese Inventors". Career Sakichi Toyoda is often called the father of Japan's industrial revolution. He is also the founder of Toyota Industries Co., Ltd.. Born February 14, 1867 (02/14/1867) in Japan, died October 30, 1930 in Japan

He created various weaving tools. The most famous invention is the automatic power looms in which he applied the principle of Jidoka (autonomous automation). Jidoka principle, which means that the machine stops itself when problems occur, then became part of the Toyota Production System.
Toyoda developed the concept of 5 stars why: When there is a problem, ask 'why' five times to try to find the source of the problem, then put something into place to prevent such problems from recurring. This concept is used today as part of implementing lean methodologies to solve problems, improve quality and reduce costs.

History


Toyota Motor Corporation was founded in September 1933 as a division of Automatic Weaving Factory Toyota cars. The company's car division then separated on August 27, 1937 to create the Toyota Motor Corporation as at present.

Departing from the textile industry, Toyota plug itself as one of the leading automotive manufacturers are pretty all over the world. Brand that produces a car every 6 seconds it was over because Toyota uses names mention tastier than using the family name of its founder, Toyoda. Here are some interesting milestone way Toyota.
Toyota is the third largest car manufacturer in the world in unit sales and net sales. Japan's largest manufacturer produces 5.5 million cars worldwide. If calculated, this figure is equivalent to producing one unit of the car in 6 seconds.


Compared with other automotive industries that use the trademark name of its founder as such by Soichiro Honda founded Honda, Daimler-Benz (Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz), Ford (Henry Ford), Toyoda name is not used as a brand. Because the set of simple ideas and visions that time, the mention of Toyoda less pleasant and not so familiarly known spoofed into a Toyota.
Sakichi Toyoda was born in February 1867 in Shizuoka, Japan. This man is known as the inventor since I was a teenager. Toyoda devoted his life to studying and developing the textile assembly. In the age of 30 years completed the Toyoda loom. It then set up her Toyota assembly precursor, the Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, Ltd.. in November 1926.


Here the automatic textile machinery patent was later sold to Platt Brothers & Co., Ltd.. of England, United Kingdom. Proceeds from sale of this patent, made capital development of the automotive division. Beginning in 1933, when Toyoda build automotive division, the team then largely controlled by his son Kiichiro Toyoda, endlessly producing leading innovations in his day. A type of engine was completed in 1934. A year later the first prototype engine was transplanted their passenger cars, A1. Toyoda automotive division also produces G1 model trucks.
In 1936 they launched their first passenger car, Toyoda AA (at that time still used the name Toyoda). This model was developed from a prototype model A1 and fitted body and engine A. These vehicles are expected to be the beginning of people's car. The concept of Toyota products continue to be held until now.


Four years is enough to wait for delivery of automotive companies own and break away from their textile industry. Then in 1937 they inaugurated the automotive division and the name Toyota, Toyoda is not like the name of the textile industry. Intake Toyota name in Japanese characters are represented in 8, and eight is a lucky number for Japanese society. Another reason is considered reasonable is the automotive industry is a lifestyle business and even the mention of a name (and what it sounds like), a side that is so important. Because Toyoda's name was considered too rigid in the dynamic business that is converted into a Toyota that feels better. No doubt, 1937 was an important era of the birth of Toyota Motor Co., Ltd.. embryo of giant Toyota Motor Corp. (TMC) today.


Kiichiro Toyoda spirit of innovation has never dimmed. Toyota later developed into a formidable producer of vehicles. In the era of the 1940s, Toyota is busy developing the company's capital includes inserting the bourses in Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya.


After World War II era, in the 1950s is proving Toyota sebgai tough all-purpose vehicle producer. At that time the familiar Jeep vehicles in Japan. Inspired by this car, the Toyota Land Cruiser then develop orototipe that came out in 1950. A year later officially launched early model Land Cruiser BJ models ie.


Buln July that year, the test driver Ichiro Taira end the test with remarkable results. Inspired by Samurai Heikuro figures are climbing Mount Atago Magaki on horseback in 1643, Taira drove his Toyota BJ to Fudo temple in Okasaki city. It once used as a promotional car toughness of all these fields. Not long ago, Toyota Land Cruiser began to rival the dominance of the Willys Jeep. Even with the subsequent models, the Toyota Land Cruiser can be accepted in the market when it is difficult to penetrate the North America. Through this model, Toyota entered the markets in various parts of the world, including in Indonesia, known as the Toyota Land Cruiser Hardtop FJ40/45. In Africa, the models of Toyota Land Cruiser Technical alias is used as an armed jeeps equipped with light machine guns, heavy weapons, or even without starting basoka behind (Recoilless bazooka) and deployed during armed conflicts with the very strong performance.
Toyota is not only known through the Toyota Land Cruiser. They also developed a model that became the world's favorite, a small sedan. Through the Corolla which debuted in 1966, this early generation sedan wearing tiny rear drive sedan bongsor change the order of the popular small sedan was headed toward a compact, economical and compact. Entering 1975, the Corolla into the third generation and has sold over 5 million units. The amazing thing is still strong today. Corolla engine is then used in Indonesia as an engine for a versatile commercial vehicle family, the first generation Toyota Kijang is known as the Crocodile Deer.


More consistent product mengglobalnya Toyota, they have not realized the logo graphic. Even in Indonesia found the Toyota-branded vehicles like the Toyota Kijang with TOYOTA logo on the grille on the bonnet (nose) car. In 1989 Toyota decided to make two circles oval (ellipse) which produced the letter T and the third ellipse would suggest the spirit of understanding in design. The third circle is at once around the circle before the T-shaped ellipse as evidence and influence to keep him.


In the 1990s, Toyota has proved that Japanese cars can compete with European and American cars. Toyota Celica won the world rally, and the Toyota Camry became the best selling car in America.
