Gennaio 2021

Welcome to 2021! January brings a new year full of hope and elevated expectations. Every year gives us renewed hope and optimism, this year, this is especially important. We know 2020 was a hard year for a lot of us and we each have been challenged to overcome considerable obstacles. Better things are sure to come! We can also say that January it is a month of transition in which we try to organize the year that is coming in order to achieve our new goals. January is also more than this, it is a month of historically significant events that have been life changing and are still felt today.

In 1924, the British Egyptologist Howard Carter found the sarcophagus of Tutankhamen (King Tut) in the Valley of the Kings near Luxor after several years of searching; this was considered as the most important discovery of the 20th century. In 1782, the first U.S. commercial bank opened as the Bank of North America, in Philadelphia. This helped lead to the formation of numerous other financial institutions and a financial boom which ultimately earned a dominant position for the U.S. in the world’s global economy. Almost two decades later, in 1999, eleven European nations began using a new single European currency, the Euro, for electronic financial and business transactions. One of the most striking event in the U.S. history was the first presidential impeachment trial in 130 years charging former President Clinton with perjury and obstruction of justice.

January is also the month of innovations: In 1863, the world’s first underground railway service opened in London, the Metropolitan line between Paddington and Farringdon. In the States the flying boat airplane, invented by Glenn Curtiss, made its first flight at Hammondsport, New York and sometime later an American Airlines Boeing 707 made the first scheduled transcontinental U.S. flight, traveling from California to New York. A life changing law for the women was introduced by Iceland in 1935, the first country to legalize abortions. The U.S made this decision some years after in 1973 during a court case in which the Supreme Court announced its decision. In regard to public health, the U.S. Surgeon General declared cigarettes may be hazardous to health, the first such official government report.
