Air?Liquide, a world leader in gases, technologies and services for industry and health, has been building its leadership ever since the business was founded in 1902. Day after day, innovation after innovation, we have grown continuously to conquer new markets. Retrace the milestones of our long history here.
Air?Liquide was born from the meeting of two young graduates of the Ecole Supérieure de Physique et Chimie Industrielle in Paris. An inspired and sometimes eccentric researcher, Georges Claude succeeded in perfecting the process of liquefying air after two years of relentless experimentation in a Paris bus garage. His partner, Paul Delorme, was a prudent visionary who, despite financial concerns, did not hesitate to support this industrial project and provided the crucial initial investment. The young company quickly attracted investment from 24?shareholders, and Air?Liquide's great adventure began.
Since gases are difficult to transport, local production was essential. For this reason among many others, we looked to international markets at a very early stage and built numerous production units in other countries. The Group expanded rapidly at this time, beginning in Europe (1906), soon to be followed by Japan (1907), Canada (1911) and the USA (1916).
Our first 24?shareholders' trust was amply rewarded when Air?Liquide appeared on the Paris Stock Exchange in 1913. After more than 100?years on the stock market, individual shareholders are still very important for the Group. We now rely on the trust of more than 400,000?individual shareholders, a group that represents 36% of our total equity capital. Additionally, in 2014 and 2016 we won the Annual General Meeting Grand Prize, which rewards companies whose Annual General Meetings achieve market best practice standards.
In association with Commander Cousteau, Air Liquide invented the first open-circuit, self-contained underwater breathing apparatus. That invention led to the establishment of Aqua Lung, a company that became the world leader in personal aquatic equipment for recreational and professional diving. The disposal of this activity was effective in December 2016.
As the cryogenic revolution?gathered speed, our company took on a new dimension thanks to our ability to package liquefied gas inside cryogenic tanks.
This delivered enormous benefits because it enabled bulk road and rail transportation of gases within a 150-mile radius of production sites. Two years later, in 1954, saw the start-up of a liquid oxygen production facility in northern France.
At this time, Air?Liquide implemented the first networking strategy to link its gas production units together by building a network of pipelines. As a result, our production capacity grew tenfold in response to booming demand from large-scale industries, beginning with oxygen for steelmaking, and later nitrogen for the chemicals industry. It was at this point that our Large Industries (LI) business line was born out of our long-term commitment to customers. Large Industries is above all characterized by extended partnerships of fifteen years or more.
Today, we manage 5,600?miles of networks around the world, especially in North America (in the Gulf of Mexico and along the banks of the Mississippi), in Europe (France, the Benelux countries and the Ruhr Valley in Germany), and many Asian countries.
Convinced of the industrial applications for cryogenics, the then Chairman & CEO of Air?Liquide Jean Delorme made the decision to create an advanced research center dedicated to this technology near Grenoble. For us, this marked the beginning of our adventures in space and our partnership with the Ariane program.
Fifty years later, the adventure continues: Air?Liquide is reaffirming its commitment to the space industry, and is using innovation to consolidate and expand its range of services for space exploration programs and both today and tomorrow's orbital systems.
Innovation has always been central to the history of our Group. In 1970, the?Claude-Delorme Research Center on the Paris-Saclay plateau became a reality. The result is a major contribution to improving gas production techniques and developing applications for gases, from combustion to welding, metalworking, chemicals, electronics, food, breathing and environmental conditioning. This center embodies our commitment to understanding the industrial processes used by our customers, and developing new applications for gases in response to their quality, productivity, safety and environmental needs.
A jointly run project with Sasol in South Africa to convert coal to synthetic fuel required a major upscaling of our air?separation units (ASUs). The resulting evolution in technology established the Group as the leader in very high capacity ASUs, a position we maintain to this day.
In order to seize the new opportunities offered by the young market for electronics, Air?Liquide began supplying ultra-high purity gases to the burgeoning semiconductors industry in Japan. The Tsukuba Research Center, which opened in 1987, allows us to develop new processes for the production of extremely high purity gases, including carrier gases (chiefly nitrogen) used to inert microchip production systems and the specialty gases used directly in the manufacture of semiconductors.
Building on the Group's offer in oxygen and nitrogen, hydrogen and steam were integrated in our range in the mid-1990s. It was at this time that the Group also formally stated its commitment to greater environmental protection and more affordable energy. As part of ensuring the success of this new range of gases, we adopted the business model that has made our business in air gases so successful, and immediately introduced a basin strategy based on pipeline network, offering our customers flexibility, distribution reliability and high-quality services at the best-possible price.
Originally simply a provider of oxygen to hospitals, Air?Liquide now became a healthcare specialist. We launched our Home healthcare business supported by a network of specialist teams. Medical gases are classified as medications in many countries. We also diversified our activities by entering the hygiene market. At the same time, Air?Liquide embarked on a series of major research programs in therapeutic gases used for anesthesia, intensive care and pain control.
The Air?Liquide response to a changing world and constantly evolving markets was to implement a new organizational structure. In 2007, we created four World Business Lines?– Large Industries, Industrial Merchant, Healthcare and Electronics – to deliver a more effective response to market needs. Air?Liquide introduced its ALMA corporate program in 2008 so that we could seize new opportunities for growth: industrial development in developing countries, the growing importance of energy and environmental issues, and growth in the high technology and healthcare sectors.
Impacted by an economic and financial crisis of unprecedented extent, we focused our efforts on managing our cash, our expenditure and our investments. Against a background of global recession, we once again demonstrated the solidity of our long-term contracts and the relevance of our economic model. The Group proved itself to be the exception to the rule, reporting stable net income and protecting the strength of its balance sheet
This was the year in which Air?Liquide Arabia invested US$450?million (more than €350?million) in two large-scale hydrogen production facilities with a total combined capacity of more than 300,000?Nm3 per hour. The result was the Group's largest industrial investment in its entire history and the signature of its largest-ever 'over the fence'1 hydrogen contract. This project has strengthened our strategic position and boosted growth in the Middle East. The Yanbu production unit has been developed and constructed by the Lurgi division of Air?Liquide Engineering.
1 Over the fence: sales contract for gases (produced by an Air?Liquide facility), as opposed to a sales contract for equipment enabling a customer to produce its own supplies of gases.
Slowly emerging from a crisis that reshuffled global growth, Air?Liquide announced at year end 2010 new objectives for its ALMA program in terms of performance and responsibility. These objectives were revised at year end 2013 to factor in a slower than?expected recovery in growth, in particular in Western Europe and Japan. Nevertheless, the Group accelerated its presence in new territories, including Turkey, Ukraine and Mexico, and strengthened its presence in China. These developments contributed to the increase, in eight years, of the developing economies' share of Gas & Services revenue from 15% to 28% in 2015.
In a weaker growth environment in the advanced economies, and particularly in Western Europe, Air?Liquide intensified its acquisitions. At the end of 2012, two major home healthcare players joined the Group: LVL Médical in France and Gasmedi in Spain. Other acquisitions were completed?to strengthen the Group's positions in Healthcare in Poland, Scandinavia and Canada and in Industrial Merchant in Brazil, Russia, the Middle East and China.
In 2013 Air?Liquide launched two initiatives to promote open innovation: i-Lab, innovation Lab, and ALIAD, the Group's capital investment subsidiary to make minority investments in innovative technology start-ups. In 2014, the Group decides on new investments with the modernization of the Paris Innovation Campus, the creation of a center for the development of gas cylinders for industry and healthcare, and the launch of a technical center of excellence for cryogenic production technologies.
In 2015, Air?Liquide inaugurated Cryocap? in France, a unique industrial installation that enables the capture of CO2 released during hydrogen production via a cryogenic process. On a worldwide scale, Air?Liquide?contributes actively?to the development of the hydrogen energy activity by accompanying automotive manufacturers launching fuel cell electric vehicles on the market. Air?Liquide has stepped up the construction of hydrogen charging stations around the world.
On May 23, 2016, the Group successfully closed its acquisition of Airgas, which will contribute to the company's strategy of profitable growth over the long term. There is strong industrial and market logic to this acquisition, which will ideally position the company for future growth and value creation. The two businesses are highly complementary, and the transaction extends Air?Liquide's customer base through a unique?multi-channel distribution network and a nationwide presence in the U.S.
Air Liquide continued to generate synergies through the integration of Airgas. Cost synergies are being achieved more quickly than expected and the first growth synergies materialized.
Following the disposal of its Aqua Lung and Air Liquide Welding subsidiaries, Air Liquide focused on its Gas & Services activities and the implementation of its NEOS company program. The Gas & Services activities now represent 96% of the Group's revenue.
To mark its transformation, the Group created a new logo, the fifth since the company was founded 115 years ago. This new visual identity, which embodies the change within Air Liquide, is that of a leading Group, expert and innovative, that is close to its stakeholders and open to the world.

Nancy Stewart and I did a weekly radio discuss present on Seaview Radio in North Palm Seashore for 7 years, took a yr off, and now we're again on the radio with a 2 hour weekly discuss show, Earl Stewart on Cars, every Tuesday from 4-6 PM. You possibly can tune in this present at 900 AM the Discuss of the Palm Seashores" or you may stream it at Every week we ship a mystery shopper into a South Florida automobile dealership that pretends to purchase or lease a car. Dealerships should also guarantee buyers that the vehicle has a great title, that means it is free from any previous liens held on it. The dealership can also be required to offer basic details about a car's history, together with variety of previous house owners, yr of registration, and the proper odometer reading.
Better but, we'll even get hold of it so that you can test drive at our Duluth, MN dealership! A lot of these in car dealerships are people who are older and come from a special time. I admit this however that is not why I included it; I did so because I truthfully imagine we are a Good Dealership.
The dealership went above and beyond for me. I couldn't have requested for a greater expertise. You will be anticipated to know the ins and outs of the automotive industry and be capable of run a dealership. Finance is the last, best place for the dealership to make some cash, so they will not do the paperwork ahead of time unless you ask.
With the intention to be a automobile salesman step one is to get employed by a car dealership to be a gross sales person. Automobile dealerships typically have many other high priced objects that can be susceptible to theft and you need security if you are open and likewise whereas the situation is closed in the course of the nights.
Bob Davidson is one of the many Baltimore Ford Lincoln dealerships that sell new & used Ford and Lincoln vehicles to prospects within the surrounding areas equivalent to Bel Air, Middle River, Owings Mills, Randallstown, as well as Towson and all the city Baltimore.

I have received a few queries regarding the OTG cables I use with the Raspberry Pi Zero. The truth is I get them from wherever I can. Initially I bought samples from China through eBay but I eventually purchased the last few packets from the UK through Amazon UK. Click on the above image for the link.
The above image shows both 13cm OTG cables with a standard female USB 2.0 port with a micro USB standard Android male plug . The one in the middle is a straight cable. However the right angled version incorporating a standard female USB 2.0 port with a right angle (90°) micro USB standard Android male plug proved more popular with both phone and RPZero users.

Why Happiness Translates into Productivity
Being happy is essential to being productive. Although some people are not happy in their estate, and somehow manage to be as productive as possible, there is still much to be desired. The exuberance that goes with happiness helps one to go at any task with zest.
As one moves into line for being truly productive, they are engaged in a such a way that what they do, be it art, music, writing, creating, cooking, or any task, likewise brings happy results. Happiness is evidence that a person is contented with themselves, and reaching out to bless others.
Being productive means to give something each day to bless the world. Being productive does not always mean making money, but sometimes that is a by-product. Productivity is the outpouring of delight, joy, and satisfaction. How many people like to start a day with goals unaccomplished, and then at the end of the day, see their visual dreams become small or great realities? The completion of a task brings more happiness and encourages one to swim even further in life's rich sea of accomplishments.
I personally know of a lady. She is a mother who has seizures. However, this lady finds excellent happiness in crocheting blankets and spreads. I have ordered several, and each sheet has proven to be a blessing. This hobby brings her a sense of achievement, and she has the joy of knowing others will use her creations in their homes. She obtains excellent delight in making the blankets and spreads in any color the customer specifies. The designs are unique and the artistry superb. This is what reminds me of a woman who is happy with her craft and blessing others. I also met an artist who painted outdoor scenery and animals. His tigers just seemed to jump out and grab you from the canvas. Some of his masterpieces took weeks and months to finish, but once finished; they were one of a kind. The joy of his heart and expertise was reflected in every piece. People were willing to pay high prices for his originals.
Have you ever tasted a delicious meal prepared in love? It tastes so good. Most people say it is akin to their mother's cooking. I agree, and I love a meal prepared by a happy person who relishes preparing food to make his/her guests happy. Their happiness is shared and comes through loud and clear when the tempting dishes are served on the table. Sometimes the cook refuses to share the old family recipe, but that's okay. The suspense of what makes it so good goes along with the meal. Really, you just can't wait to consume each course, and all you can say when the meal is over is- "Thank you for the wonderful meal, and I'm stuffed!"
Happy people have continuously made a difference in this world. They are the creators of great literature, great art, great music, and so many beautiful things which bless us. Their contributions might well be termed, "the spices of life." Any person who throws their heart and soul into whatever they do with "joie de vivre" can't help but be a happy, productive person giving the gift of themselves in their accomplishments.

I'm learning to love my replacement cellphone! After a couple of minor incidents involving my trusty ol' Kyocera Wild Card cellphone (Technical issues which I suspect are due to the unit having become too to be properly supported by the carrier system*) I decided I needed to upgrade...
I wanted to stay on the Virgin Mobile network so I chose the recently discontinued Blackberry 8530:
- It has a keyboard, which I prefer over a touchscreen.
- BB's have the capability of pushing email to the phone.
- It has wi-fi and access to the BB apps store.
- It can record and playback mp3 and video.
- It is built for social media participation.
So I got the little guy in the mail, and put him into service at the end of the monthly cycle.
(Among apps I have already installed: Google Voice, sina weibo, twitter and KINDLE! They work great!)
* issues include - I went a whole month without being able to receive text messages. I could send 'em just fine. Many many calls to tech support before the issue was resolved with what the guy in India called a 'server reset' - and suddenly the phone would go through violent episodes of turning itself off an on, centered around the days before and after the 'new month' of service ended/began

E3 2017: 20 Games Missing From The Show
Missing In Action
E3 can't possibly include every game we want to hear more about. Whether it's because they're just not ready for a public demo or the publisher doesn't want to reveal too much too soon, some games are always going to be left out. We've compiled some of the biggest games that have been previously announced but didn't appear at the show.
For a deep for a deeper dive at what was announced at this year's E3, take a look at all the news and announcements from each press conference. You can also check out our lists of all the games at E3 coming out in 2017 and 2018!
For our complete coverage, head to GameSpot's E3 hub for all of our news, videos, and impressions. And be sure to check back often as more stories and videos get published.
Animal Crossing Mobile
With Super Mario Run setting a precedent for Nintendo franchises coming to mobile devices, we could be seeing many more making the jump in the near future. So, it would've been a delight to see Animal Crossing in action on phones. The community simulation game lends itself to the mobile platform; checking in to your colorful open world to rearrange your furniture, earn some bells, or visit your friends' town all sounds so fitting. But we didn't even get a hint of it at E3. Animal Crossing was said to go mobile back in April 2016, so it's absence from the show was disappointing.
Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 was announced five years ago, and all that CD Projekt Red has to show for it is a trailer--a now four-year-old conceptual teaser. Cyberpunk 2077's absence at E3 isn't a surprise--CD Projekt RED gave everyone advance notice--but it's notable given how long it's been since we've learned anything new about the highly anticipated project.
There's a chance that some info will make its way online in the near future by way of unscrupulous hackers threatening to leak early design documents, but should that occur it will only provide a glimpse of what the game could have been, and not necessarily evidence where it stands today. We know that development on the game may last until mid-2019 based on CD Projekt Red's grant application to the Polish government. If things are going according to plan, there's good reason to suspect that we may finally see Cyberpunk 2077 at E3 2018.
Dynasty Warriors 9
Sometime before E3, Koei Tecmo finally revealed the ninth entry from its long running action series Dynasty Warriors. As the first "fully open world" game in the series, the anticipation for the game is high for not only hardcore series fans, but even those who haven't played the games in years. The open structure is not what you'd expect from a Dynasty Warriors game, but the added freedom and improved visuals it's set to offer makes it one of the most exciting entries the series has had in over a decade.
However, the game was a no show at this year's E3. According to the developers, the game was about 40% complete, which means the project still has a way to go. But we would've appreciated to have at least seen the game in motion.
Death Stranding
Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima's intriguing-looking next game, Death Stranding, was never going to be at E3, as developer Kojima Productions confirmed as much before the show. Still, its absence was notable, especially given the dearth of big news during Sony's E3 2017 briefing. Kojima himself was at E3, but he was here to talk about his film aspirations as part of a cool panel with Jordan Vogt-Roberts (who is directing the Metal Gear movie for Sony).
Kojima didn't give anything away about the project during his talk, though he did confirm that he's a big fan of Little House on the Prairie, which is totally unexpected and cool. There is no word yet on when we'll hear more about Death Stranding, but PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida said this week that Sony held back reveals from E3 to save them for later. Is Death Stranding one of them? We hope so, but it's too soon to say. Death Stranding is in development for PlayStation 4, but a release date has yet to be announced
The next game from LittleBigPlanet developer Media Molecule, the ambitious-sounding creation game Dreams, was nowhere to be seen at E3 2017. Sony never said it was bringing the game to E3, but its absence from Sony's briefing and the show altogether was noticeable. Announced multiple years ago, we still do not know very much about Dreams. PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida has said it's a "next-gen creation platform" that has "much more" flexibility than LittleBigPlanet. We're going to have to wait a while longer to find out what that means, it seems, but a beta is still reportedly on the way for 2017, so we might be playing a part of the game soon.
Deep Down
Deep Down has been dormant for some time now, but given the excitement that surrounded its initial reveal, it has the makings of a game that could make a splash if it were to show up during Sony's E3 press conference. But it was not to be, and another show has now gone by without any word from Capcom about where things stand or if Deep Down is even still in development.
First revealed for PS4 in 2013, the co-op dungeon crawler was subsequently revealed to be a free-to-play game. Delays ensued, leading to Capcom reassuring fans in 2015 that the game had not been canceled. However, producer Yoshinori Ono says (best known for the Street Fighter series) added that changes were being made to the design. He suggested the original ideas Capcom had "might not have been good enough" and that its plans were now "much larger," but the company has largely gone silent ever since, save for a recent trademark filing.
Final Fantasy VII Remake
The highly anticipated Final Fantasy VII Remake is built from the ground up with fully polygonal graphics as opposed to the pre-rendered environments of the original. It also features a real-time combat system similar to Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts. The game was originally announced at E3 2015 for great fanfare, but the last time we saw it was at PSX 2015. Ever since then, a series of details have emerged, like the project's development switching over to entirely in-house, as well as an investor's document alluding to the game not coming out until 2018 at the earliest. Despite these developments, it's still peculiar that the game had zero presence at this year's show.
Hitman: Season 2
Of course, it's understandable that Hitman Season 2 didn't make an appearance at E3 given the recent events at IO Interactive. Square Enix is shopping the development studio around, which also means anything related to Hitman is on pause. But that doesn't negate the fact it's disappointing we can't get more stealth-action assassination hijinx. If anything, its absence was a reminder of the directions this series could've went and the unexpected situations we could've found ourselves in. You'd hope for the franchise and its developers to find a new place to thrive and hopefully continue Agent 47's legacy.
The Last Of Us: Part II
Having been revealed with a teaser trailer at PSX last year, it seemed a dead cert that The Last of Us: Part II would be shown in more detail at E3 2017. We would get live gameplay, perhaps, or a release date. At least another trailer, surely?
But Sony's press conference came and went without even a mention of the sequel. Naughty Dog is still working on Uncharted: The Lost Legacy of course, so it's understandable that the developer might not want to go full on with marketing its next game just yet. But we're disappointed to not see anything.
Hopefully we'll hear more about The Last of Us: Part II at Gamescom this year, or failing that, PSX 2017. For now though, it seems unlikely we'll be playing the much-anticipated follow up before 2018.
Mother 3
There's no actual reason to believe that the Earthbound sequel Mother 3 will come to the West, but fans continue to keep hope alive for this cult classic. While the game only exists in English as an unofficial (but still excellent) fan translation, rumblings about an official Nintendo release have been going around since 2013 when the SNES Earthbound came back to life with a Virtual Console release on Wii U. Then, during E3 2015, Nintendo announced that the previously unreleased-in-America first Mother game was coming to the US as Earthbound Beginnings.
But despite releasing Mother 3 in Japan later that same year, Nintendo has made no other Earthbound-related announcements. Smash Bros. still has the two main Earthbound/Mother protagonists as part of its roster, so it's possible that Nintendo is just waiting for the right time to spring a surprise re-release. But with a new console out and no real replacement for the Virtual Console in place yet, E3 2017 seemed like it would be the place Nintendo would finally reveal Mother 3 in English. Guess not.
Phantasy Star Online 2
It was perhaps foolish to think that Phantasy Star Online 2 might actually surface at E3. More than four years after its original release in Japan, Sega has still provided no indication or when the game will be brought to the West. And it's not as if the belief that it's coming is completely unfounded--it said back in 2012 that the game would be coming, only for that to lead to delays that in turn became silence.
And it's not as if Phantasy Star Online 2 is some dud that the company is desperate to move on from. Sega's most recent earnings report noted that PSO2 sales "remained robust" in Japan during the latest fiscal year, and it was deemed noteworthy enough to get crossover DLC content in Gravity Rush 2 back in February. At this point, Sega may feel the game is too dated to now debut as a new product, but for diehard fans of the earlier Phantasy Star Online games who are starved for a localized release, it would have been a very welcome surprise to see it show up during Sony's press conference.
Pikmin 4
It's hard to complain about games that were missing from Nintendo's E3 showing when we got two Metroid titles after nearly a decade-long hiatus, but it would have been nice to get some word on Pikmin 4. Miyamoto confirmed that the game was in development a couple of years ago, but he has said very little about it since, other than it was put on the back burner in favor of higher-priority titles. That's a shame because the last proper installment, Pikmin 3 on Wii U, was one of the best games Nintendo has ever released, and Pikmin 4 would make an excellent fit on Switch. Here's hoping it'll sprout up sooner than later.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Rockstar is one of the few game developers that don't have to piggyback on the momentum of E3 to generate buzz and hype surrounding its upcoming games. Case in point: Red Dead Redemption 2.
The highly-anticipated western shooter wasn't at E3, but we kind of expected this with the company recently revealing that the game would be delayed until spring 2018. Specifically, the company says gamers shouldn't expect RDR2 until April 2018.
Elaborating on the delay, Rockstar stated, "This outlaw epic set across the vast and unforgiving American heartland will be the first Rockstar game created from the ground up for the latest generation of console hardware, and some extra time is necessary to ensure that we can deliver the best experience possible for our fans."
The game is set to release on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Rockstar says you can expect to hear more about the game "this summer." Here are some Red Dead Redemption 2 screenshots to tide you over until then.
Resident Evil 2 Remake
If you saw GameSpot's gallery on our most anticipated games of E3 2017, you know that I was hoping to see our first glimpse at the remake of Resident Evil 2. However, we didn't see or hear anything from Capcom about it. With some excellent looking remakes announced in Shadow of the Colossus and Metroid: Samus Returns, it would have been exciting to see Capcom finish off that trifecta of updated visuals with a zombie-ravaged Raccoon City. Sadly, the only news we received about it this past week was dispiriting. It turns out that longtime Claire Redfield voice actor Alyson Court won't reprise her role, as she says that Capcom is going with non-union performers for the remake. It's quite disappointing, so hopefully we learn more about the project soon.
Respawn Star Wars Game
Ahead of E3 last year, EA announced that Respawn Entertainment--the studio behind the critically acclaimed Titanfall series--would be creating a Star Wars game as a part of the company's initiative to create games based in the iconic sci-fi franchise. The game is going to be a third-person action adventure, which has us excited. At the time, Titanfall 2 had yet to release, but with that game already out now, we were eager to hear more about what Respawn had in store for its Star Wars game at E3. Unfortunately, it was nowhere to be seen.
Shenmue III
Thanks largely in part to a successful Kickstarter campaign that raised more than $6.3 million, Shenmue III was able to come back from the dead. The first two RPG adventure games were initially released on the Dreamcast. Though neither of them were financial hits, considering their costly budgets, the series developed a massive cult following for their intricate stories and large, detailed worlds.
Unfortunately, earlier this month, series creator Yu Suzuki announced that the game would be delayed until the second half of 2018. He elaborated, "By utilizing new technologies we have been able to discover new possibilities and expressions." He added, "In many ways, the game has become bigger and more beautiful than I initially expected. We do, however, need more time to deliver the game to you."
While the game may not be at E3 as a result, the delay suggests that the game will be all the better for it.
Sucker Punch's New Game
Infamous developer Sucker Punch has been silent for a long time now, and that didn't change at E3 this year. Sony's E3 2017 briefing came and went without any new information as to what the studio is making next. Silence is not necessarily a bad thing, as too often it seems games get announced too early and an extended hype cycle can be overwhelming. Intriguingly, PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida recently said Sony purposely held back game reveals from its E3 briefing, with the intention of announcing more games later this year. Here's to hoping Sucker Punch's game is among them.
Super Smash Bros. For Switch
After Nintendo of America boss Reggie Fils-Aime hinted Super Smash Bros. for Switch would come at some point, some people speculated that the game might be announced at E3 2017.
Whether it was to be a completely new version of the game or simply a souped-up port of the Wii U edition was unclear, but it seemed a relatively safe bet for Nintendo's inevitable one big reveal. After all, it was too soon for a new Mario Kart or Zelda title, a new 3D Mario game was already on the way for the end of the year, and Metroid Prime 4 would never be announced, would it?
Maybe, in hindsight, in a stream that announced new Switch games in the Pokemon, Metroid, Kirby, and Yoshi series, a new Smash would've been too much to ask, and it has been less than three years since the Wii U and 3DS versions. Hopefully we'll get a glimpse of the inevitable sequel at E3 2018.
New Tomb Raider
The supposed name for the new Tomb Raider game leaked late last year from an unexpected source: a person on a subway. A surreptitious photo of a PowerPoint slide appeared to show a logo for Shadow of the Tomb Raider, leading some people to believe the title would be shown off at E3 2017.
Unfortunately, that was not the case. Publisher Square Enix made no such announcement and Microsoft--which had a timed exclusivity deal with the previous game in the series, Rise of the Tomb Raider--didn't reveal anything at its E3 2017 Xbox conference. We know it's coming, at least: At Gamescom 2015, Square Enix boss Phil Rogers mentioned a "Tomb Raider trilogy," which so far is only two thirds complete.
It seems E3 2017 was simply too soon for Lara to return--it has only been two years, after all. Perhaps we'll see more around the release of the new Tomb Raider movie in March 2018.
Visceral Star Wars Game
Last year at E3, Electronic Arts released a cool sizzle reel that showed off glimpses of the many Star Wars games in development. But this year, fans were not so lucky. We saw lots and lots of Star Wars: Battlefront II--but that was it. We didn't see or hear about Dead Space developer Visceral's new third-person game that's being made under the direction of Uncharted director Amy Hennig. That's a shame, because the first teaser trailer released last year at E3 left us with so many questions and excited for where the game might go. Here's to hoping we learn more about this exciting-sounding game sooner rather than later.

Lunch in Elizabeth
Posted 24 May 2007 - 05:11 PM
So first up is Portugal BBQ..
Portugal Barbeque
207 Clark Place
Elizabeth NJ
They have these chicken, ribs and steaks rotating around an open charcoal fire.. The use Cowboy Charcoal.. As it goes around, they constantly brush the meats with the red sauce. It smells of garlic and various spicy.. When it drips down it makes the flames shoot up and the smoke surrounds the meat.. Its a beautiful thing.. They have been open for a few years now and this little Portugese Woman runs it like a general.. She is really tough but very accomodating.. The place is kept extremely clean..
I have tried everything on the menu from the pork and clams, to the half chicken, the Salt Cod, the Porgy, the Ribeye, Short Ribs, Sardines,wonderful chicken and grilled pork sandwiches.. Everything is verging on amazing.. The fries are the only thing that need some work but ask for them to be burnt and you will live..
Today I ordered the porgy.. Grilled on these racks below it comes out with a wonderful crisp and salty crust.. With brocolli and boiled potatoes.. It was 10 dollars and fantastic..
Again, the skin was just perfect..
Edit to add:
This was a different lunch from a while ago.. This was pork bits with galric shrimp, rice, fries, and marinated vegetables.. This was 10 dollars at the time, I believe its up to 12 bucks..

Elizabeth, NJ
Alvarez Cafe located at 511 Elizabeth Avenue is a famous place on the block.. It has been open for 30 years.. Its also one of the only places where they have an english menu too.. So i find this helpful.. There website is alvarezcafe.com..
Most places in the area incorporate a lot of different spanish countries into their cuisine.. One restaurant could have Puerto Rican owners and be cooking a combo of Portugese, Cuban and Peruvian food.. Alvarez i think keeps it pretty much too cuban food.. They serve oxtail to seafood.. I especially like there sandwiches, steak, cuban, roast pork, spanish sausage, and the carne ripiada.. All really good..There steak sandwich in which they put french's onion rings under the bread before the grill press it is excellent too!
Sandwiches ready to go for lunch:
Grilled Cuban with a Mamey Shake will set you back a whole 7 bucks.. The bread here is just wonderful.. Call me crazy but, I love to have a little pool of red vinegar on my plate to dip..

A very interesting place. They really try to cater to the diverse neighborhood. Offering salads, wraps,sandwiches, Portugese BBQ, traditional and non-traditional pizzas, and subs..
I ordered from the Brazilian Pizza Section.. Fried chicken, corn, and catupiry...
The pizza was really good.. Crunchy, airy and interesting.. Loved the sweet corn, the cheese, all mixed with the creaminess of the Catupiry.. Highly recommend a visit for this pizza..
Elizabeth has several interesting Pizza Places that cater to the tastes of the different areas.. The most interesting I have seen so far was boneless buffalo wing pizza with blue cheese and wing sauce.. Not to mention mozzarella cheese.. A lot better then it sounds..

201 1st Ave, Roselle -
(908) 241-9639
The White Rose was a burger place that I grew up eating at.. I recently discovered that there a couple locations around New Jersey.. Before this, I believed the only one that existed was located in Highland Park.. Minutes away from Rutgers Grease Trucks, there were many a game of ro-sham-bo played to determine between the two places.. Kind of like an oversized White Castle Burger, loose meat patties are cooked on top of tons of onions..
An oniony cali cheese.. Mmm.. Makes me want to drink a few beers just so I can enjoy it more.. Haha
The menu is your typical greasy spooon.. They have a wonderful BLT, grilled cheese and bacon, the usual suspects.. Everything is made a top of a well seasoned and greased up flat grill.. The only average thing are the crinkle cut fries.. Not my favorite.. But ask for them well done and get them right out of the fryer.. You will certainly get by..
The memories this place brings back, even if its only the Highland Park cousin..
Ok.. I have to stop.. I am realizing I have a severe food posting problem.. I need help..

230 Trumbull St
Elizabeth NJ
Cute little Portugese Place.. I guess its pretty well known in Elizabeth.. It has changed owners a few times in the last couple of years but it still remains good.. I was sitting next to this guy in Las Vegas once at a Black Jack Table.. He was like, you work in Elizabeth, have you ever been to Chick's Seafood.. I guess this place and a local strip club are high on the "things" to see list for truck drivers coming ito the area..
They have a regular menu, but I find the specials come out more quickly...
We started with shrimp and garlic from the regular menu.. Garlic, wine, oil, shrimp, lemon and a couple shots of red pepper.. Whats not to love..
From the Specials..
Perfectly char grilled Sea Bass..
The Special Pork and clams with fried potatoes, and pickled vegetables.. This dish was just superb, the pork, clams and fried potatoes, were hanging out in this garlic stock, and the pickled vegetables cut through really nicely..
Flan was a little grainy.. But good
Cortado like drink.. Maybe they call it cortado too.. Steamed milk and espresso.. Really milky and frothy.. A drink like this and I am ready for a nap..

161 Third Street not to be confused with the one on Second St.
Elizabeth NJ 07206
The neighborhood is a little tough.. There was actually an arrest happening outside of the place when I arrived.
Recently, El Tiburon II a second location, has opened on the street over from the original.. It is head and shoulders over the first spot.. The fish is excellent and rivals Ceviche I have had anywhere.. They use just a little cream in their ceviche, I also like that they put a couple slices of boiled potato and those dried crunch corn guys from texture.. For a 11 bucks its more then two people could split for lunch..
The menu has a few different offerings.. The pollo a la brasa seems to be a big deal.. Also they have tamales stacked in the front wrapped in bananna leaf.. I will have to look into it.
So this is what 11 dollars gets you.. The quality is the most important thing when eating Ceviche and this is wonderful..Its a Peruvian place after all.. It is filled with octopus, scallops, shrimp, conch,swordfish, whitefish, and a couple of clams.. The meat is "cooked" perfectly in a lime and cream sauce.. There is also a really nice heat.. To add some texture they have added these crunchy corn guys and to break up the fish there is some boiled potato.. There are many chances to get such unhealthy dishes that I try to eat this.. I absolutely love ceviche and make it at home, if this place was in Manhattan I would eat here regularly..

A Trick For Hydrating Winter Skin
Winter is notorious for taking our skin on a rollercoaster. Despite doing all of the right treatments, we can still be dry, flaky and red. What gives? Many times, we unintentionally strip our skin of the natural oils we generate by over-washing. Try taking a break from washing your face in the morning and instead just lightly patting it with a splash of water before applying daytime skin treatments and makeup.
Also, evaluate the type of cleanser you are using at night when you remove makeup. If it is exfoliating or gel-based, it might be a formula that's best saved for another time of year. Opt for a cream cleanser and massage away makeup with warm water. The once a day cleanse might be the key to keeping your skin balanced and flake-free.
p.s. Now that we have simplified your morning routine, check out 10 classic beauty products that have stood the test of time.

QUNO holds first expert consultation on small-scale farmer innovation
From the 26th – 27th May, QUNO held its first expert consultation on small-scale farmer innovation in biodiverse food systems. 16 professionals, including academics, development practitioners, civil society actors, small-scale farmers and UN officials, from 12 different countries (such as Peru, Zimbabwe, China and Sri Lanka) attended the consultation, which took place at the Château de Bossey near Geneva. For one participant, a Kenyan farmer-innovator, the trip represented his first time outside of Africa.
The consultation, similar in form to those QUNO has held for its agricultural trade and investment work strand, sought to move beyond QUNO's traditional focus on intellectual property to get to the heart of on-farm innovation. What drives small-scale farmers to innovate? What can impede them? What role can public policy play in developing a supportive environment for such innovation? The discussion yielded a variety of proposals for potential ways forward, both for QUNO and the group as a whole.
The paper detailing the outcomes of this consultation can be found below.

Hello! My name is Tammy Cowan and I have been performing diagnostic ultrasound for 19 years. My experience in diagnostic ultrasound has taken me to various places from Norton's Hospital and Baptist Hospital East in Louisville, Kentucky to St John's Cardiology here in Springfield, Missouri. It was at Norton's Maternal-Fetal Medicine that my focus was in Level I and Level II fetal ultrasounds for high-risk pregnancies.
The first time I saw my own child with the use of ultrasound, I knew that this was my passion. My greatest desire is to celebrate what I feel is the most amazing and wondrous gift…a child. I want you to experience to the fullest your child's world within the womb and the importance of family bonding. I want you to not only feel your child, but experience their movements, yawns, and yes, their SMILE.
I've often thought how amazing it would be to share this experience with my whole family. I definitely wanted my first born, Emily, there to experience her new sibling, but also my parents, my in-laws and some dear friends. Of course a group that size may not be allowed in other facilities, so my promise to you is that as long as your home holds them they are welcome.
It is my true intent to provide you with an experience free of time-constraints. Giving you a perfect memory is my heart's desire and if that takes a few extra minutes, then I'm happy to comply.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make you feel the comfort that you deserve. I look forward to the privilege of being a part of your story.

Crystal controlled microprocessors, integrated circuits, and silicon based output transistors work together to make the PA640 the most reliable, most versatile totally enclosed siren/light controller available. PA640 sirens provide 100-watt output and will meet Class A and SAE J1849 requirements for sound when paired with any Federal Signal high output speaker. Every siren comes with its own mounting bracket, hard-wired microphone and is electronically short circuit and reverse polarity protected. The PA640 can operate from any 12-volt negative ground electrical system and be powered through a Federal Signal Power Distribution Center or directly from the vehicle battery. This compact siren (6.8"W x 3"H x 7.75"D) is packed with standard features, built-in versatility and product reliability that simply can't be matched by similar competitive products. Nine on-board relays are used to deliver 80 amperes of total switching capacity and can control primary, secondary, take down, alley, and auxiliary lighting circuits.
The PA640 siren has two built-in flasher circuits available, provides advanced "dynamic" short circuit protection and allows the installer to easily change switch functions via internal programming. Wail, Yelp, Priority or Hi-Lo, Manual Peak-and-Hold, and Air Horn, are all standard tones and can be enabled by a heavy-duty five position rotary switch. There are six backlighted rubber membrane auxiliary relay pushbutton switches, a user-friendly four position high current slide switch, separate pushbuttons for Air Horn and Manual activation, and a rotary PA/Volume control knob - all smartly located on the face-plate. Park-Siren Deactivation is built into the PA640 PC board. It is automatically activated once the vehicle transmission is shifted into Park. The Horn Ring Transfer (HRT) function allows siren and light step-through control and delivers effective traffic management, using the steering wheel horn ring.Unmatched versatility is achieved through internal programming built into the PA640 siren. Any of the six auxiliary pushbuttons can be changed from a standard on/off switch into a momentary, flasher, or eight second timer.
In addition, auxiliary relays, standard tones and even HRT functions can be programmed to operate off of any slide switch position desired. Advanced electronic technology that features the use of crystal-controlled microprocessors dramatically enhances the reliability of the PA640 siren. This type of microprocessor continuously monitors current flow between the output transistors and the speaker. This "dynamic" style of short circuit protection between the output transistors and the amplifier delivers a quicker, more effective way to protect your siren warning system.

Derby County was one of twelve football teams to combine and form the first league in 1888. Since then, the club has gone on to win First Division titles and the FA Cup, whilst also reaching a European Cup semi-final. Former Derby County players Brian Clough and Dave Mackay led the Rams through an extraordinary period of success in the 1970s and although the following two decades were blighted by relegation and financial problems, Derby County was celebrating again in 2007, as the club gained promotion to the Premiership.
Our Personalised Calendars are a special gift idea for any fan of the Rams. Including twelve match reports from our newspaper archives, written by respected journalists who were there at the time, these A3 Calendars reminisce upon some of the club's greatest ever victories and most influential moments.
Our Personalised Derby County Calendars contain a range of league and cup victories, in addition to other significant club moments, such as the resignation of Brian Clough as Derby County manager.
League success featured in the A3 Calendar begins back in 1957, when the Rams beat Southport 2-0 to win the Division Three North Championship. Derby County had seen 111 goals hit the back of the net during the course of the season and success would soon continue in the higher divisions. In 1969, Dave Mackay inspired the club to a 5-0 win against Bristol City that guaranteed Derby County the Division Two title. In 1972, a 1-0 victory against Liverpool led the Rams to pole position in the top flight that they eventually would cling on to, as title-challengers Leeds and Liverpool both failed to win their last match.
After an aging team and financial problems sent the Rams back down to the Second Division in the 1980s, two further league triumphs are recoded in your Calendar Gift: the 1-0 victory against Liverpool from 1998 and the 2007 play-off final win against West Brom, which guaranteed the club promotion to the Premiership.
In addition to these league highlights, the Football Calendar also looks back to a selection of Derby County's domestic and European cup wins. These include the 2-0 Charity Shield victory against West Ham in 1975 and wins against Benfica and Atletico Madrid in 1972 and 1974 respectively. Perhaps the most famous cup triumph that Derby County has enjoyed over the years however, was the 4-1 thrashing of Real Madrid at the old Baseball Stadium. Charlie George sent the Spaniards reeling with a hat-trick that included two penalty conversions, and although Real Madrid would eventually win the tie after an incredible performance during the return leg, this home victory will rightfully remain special to fans of the Rams.
Each Derby County Football Calendar contains the following reproduced newspaper reports:
We also have an exciting selection of alternative football gifts that are designed especially for fans of the Rams. These include our Personalised Derby County Diaries and a unique Personalised Derby County Football Book, which is smartly presented and can be treasured for years to come. Other more general football presents include our Personalised Football Commentaries and our popular Stadium Tours.
I Just Love It also has a range of attractive Personalised Image Calendars that cover a variety of themes, such as Best Dad, Football, Golf, Rugby and our popular Beatles edition. Each A3 Calendar includes twelve colourful photographs, all of which cleverly incorporate your recipient's name.

LS4-1 is all about diversity of life in habitats, but what if that habitat is only the size of a small flower? For students to understand the idea or concept of a habitat, they must also understand the continuum of habitats.
Multiple habitats build ecosystems and multiple ecosystems build biomes. This lesson helps students to understand that habitats can be as large as the forest or the ocean or as a small as a plant in the rain forest.
I remind students that when a scientist is not sure of a new concept they are researching, they will compare it to something they know about already in their learning. Scientists often use analogies in this cases, because the lesson is beginning with pictures of something the students may not be familiar with as a way to engage them in the lesson, an analogy is used to pique their interest and their background knowledge.
I explain to the children that I am going to bring each team a folder with a couple of pictures in them. Also in the folder are four or five pages for the students to document their observations and then take those observations and create analogies (SP7).
I further explain to them that the pictures may not be recognizable to them. Their job will be to observe the pictures and make connections that they see to anything they know about in their own experiences. I remind them that when a scientist is unfamiliar with something they try to find connections. I show them the documenting page and remind them how to write an analogy (SP4).
I allow the children about ten minutes to make their observations and documenting. I do not offer any support or suggestions about what they might be observing. I want them to begin to make the observations and analogies independently.
We have practiced these often with my support, but at this time of the school year, it is time to begin releasing the locus of control and encourage the independence.
This part of the lesson is out of sequence from the 5E model. In this lesson it is important to teach the children about the plant before creating it. It will offer more information for the children as they begin to create their own bromeliad.
I begin with Slide one...and work through slide six. When we reach slide seven, the slide appears to be half full and missing something. The slide explains about a particular bromeliad that has invaded a habitat that it is not native to. It uses the term, "alien species." When I use this phrase in the slide show, I click one more time and the purple alien pops up. I want to clarify for the children that the phrase does not mean aliens from space.
I think this is important to point out to the children so they understand that diversity within habitats can be transplanted and not native to the area.
I stop at slide seven. I save slide eight to introduce the concept of the habitat, ecosystem, and biome when the bromeliad are made.
I show the children a toilet paper tube and ask the children if they believe we could create a flower similar to the bromeliad with this tube (SP2)?
I show the children the papers I have ready for them and explain that they will cut out the designs and we will glue them around the tube. When we are finished, we will turn it into a beautiful bromeliad with a few surprises.
I have made ahead of time patterns to make the "leaves" of the plant run on dark and light green paper, as well as, dark and light pink paper. There are many websites on the internet with free patterns to create these flowers. Each pattern is a tiny bit different and uses many different bases for the center of the flower. They all turn out beautifully. (Here is one site that could be used....).
It takes some time for the children to cut and glue their flowers together. As the children are working, many discover that it can be tricky to glue the pieces together and some will work together.
When the flowers are completed, I ask the children to look back at the screen one more time. The power point has moved to slide eight. The slide shows the pictures the children observed back in the beginning of the lesson and also includes information about the 'system' of a bromeliad.
I explain to the children that we have used the words: habitat, biome, and ecosystem all year, but we really have not ever discussed what those words really mean. We just keep using them like they all mean the same thing.
I move to the next slide and explain to the children that a habitat is really a home. And then, an ecosystem is a group of homes, while a group of homes becomes a biome. The slides have pictures that show the concepts building with community clip art. They are not complicated, but clean and simple. I want the concept to be very clear.
I offer a couple more examples, I stand next to a table team and explain that the desk of one student can be sort of like their home at school. They spend a good amount of their time sitting at that one particular desk. The desks of their table mates sitting next to them in a group, makes them an ecosystem. All the teams together in the classroom, makes them a biome.
Instantly, they make the connection.
I look to our classroom diorama. It is really a shelf with a small tree that came from a friend's orchard. The tree is stands in a Christmas tree stand that has been wired to the wall for stability and safety. I cover the stand with green fabric and the tree is covered with green silk leaves. The tree changes through the seasons in the classroom and through our learning. As we discover new information about our learning themes, the children help to create artwork to transform the tree. It is an ever evolving learning tool.
I explain to the children that now that we have created these amazing bromeliads, we need to do something with them. Of course, they know this means we will add them to our three dimensional jungle.
I stop and ask them, if they believe their flowers are complete habitats yet? I anticipate that most of the children will realize that they are missing creatures. I bring them small stickers that they are able to choose and add to their flower. When the stickers are added, we add their flowers to the tree and the forest floor.
As I am adding the flowers, I ask the children to tell me what type of bromeliad they will have, a ground grower, rock grower or growing on another plant? The children can easily tell me where their flower should go. I like to make this distinction because it ties the learning back to the beginning power point information that delineated the three different areas that bromeliads can be found.
Evaluation of the lesson does not happen with paper and pencil...I use the language of the lesson repeatedly during the day and days that follow intentionally.
I use it three words (habitat, ecosystem, and biome) as often as I can in the daily speaking and listening of teaching. Whenever possible, I will pull the language in and listen for the students use of the language as well.
What I discover is the children using the words often and as strategically as if I had planned it. They embrace the words and use them at every opportunity.
This is my formative assessment of their internalization of the new vocabulary and the concept of the continuum of diversity within environmental homes.

When it comes to fashion, royals and aristocrats love to recycle – just ask Kate Middleton, who reigns when it comes to reusing. And now we've found another inspiration for how to get the most out of a stylish wardrobe: Lady Kitty Spencer, niece of the late Princess Diana, who stepped out in Milan this week in a favorite gown.
Attending the amfAR charity gala Sunday night, the 24-year-old was wearing the gorgeous pink blush Jenni Button dress for the third time this year.

Having premiered the tiered and embellished gown nearly six months ago to attend the Downton Abbey Ball at the Savoy in London, Earl Spencer's daughter expressed her joy at wearing the stunning gown, writing on her Instagram: "Completely in love with this phenomenal @jennibuttonsa dress that I was lucky enough to wear last night! Thank you @warrickgautier – you are a genius and I am so grateful to you!"
Kitty also wore the jewel-encrusted confection at the Hunt Ball in June, posting a picture of herself alongside a friend.
Of course her aunt Princess Diana was also a fan of recycling outfits – notably wearing a pearl-embellished Catherine Walker gown with bolero jacket, which the Princess called her "Elvis dress", on at least two separate occasions. The trend continues today with the likes of Queen Letizia of Spain, who often gives her ensembles multiple wearings.

Unlike her royal cousins Prince William and Prince Harry, Kitty grew up away from the spotlight in South Africa with her mother Victoria Lockwood, her father Earl Spencer's first wife. Attending an elite South African private school, Kitty was a perfect straight-A student who went on to study psychology, politics and English literature at the University of Cape Town.
The vibrant blonde socialite caught the attention of the British media when she made her first public appearances in 2007 alongside Harry and William at a memorial service for her aunt Princess Diana. Four years later she was in attendance at William and Kate's wedding held at Westminster Abbey in London.

A few days ago there was a post up on The Pump Handle reporting on the Institute of Medicine's report, Dying in America, that critiques end of life care and suggests ways to improve it. The post linked to to an essay by Ezekiel Emanuel in The Atlantic on the topic of old age and death. The essay has the rather catchy title of "Why I Hope to Die at 75."
As it turns out, Emanuel doesn't really hope to die at 75. He's just decided that once he hits a certain point in his life, he's going to refuse all medical interventions other than palliative care. I get it. I've worked in nursing homes. I know that despite all the hype about "60 is the new 40" and ads showing geezers having a good time, aging in general sucks. You get older and it's inevitable that you're going to start falling apart. No one has the energy at 80 that they did at 50. You're more susceptible to injury. Your skin turns crepe-y, you bruise easier, it takes longer to heal. A fall that would have been nothing when you were in your 20s can put you in the hospital when you're in your 70s. Old people look frail for a reason -- they are frail. They break easy. Your bones start losing calcium; if you're unlucky you end up with osteoporosis and discover that all it takes is a sneeze and you've got broken ribs. Everyone says getting old beats the alternative, but some days you've got to wonder if that's really true.
And then there are the cognitive issues. One of the most depressing aspects of getting older is witnessing friends and acquaintances slip over the edge into Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. Alzheimer's gets a lot of attention, but it's not the only way to slide into senility. When you're in your 30s or 40s and you hear people talk about "hardening of the arteries" you may think "that can't possibly be a real thing." Well, it is. It's what cholesterol build-up does; the fat narrows the arteries, makes them stiffer, reduces blood flow. Reduced blood flow means less oxygen to the brain. Less oxygen to the brain means you get more forgetful, less agile mentally. The next thing you know you're one of those dithering old people who can't remember where they left their coffee cup or wants to tell you the same lame jokes over and over and over. . .
Not all geezers go senile, of course. One of my favorite people of all time, the philosopher Marjorie Grene, was still going strong in her 90s. She could argue circles around scholars a third of her age. But Professor Grene was an exception just like my own mother (who is now 92 and still sharp as the proverbial tack) is an exception. Based on my personal family history, I don't think I'm at much of a risk of losing my ability to think before other stuff fails, but you never know. The fact no one I'm closely related to has ever shown signs of Alzheimer's doesn't mean I can't be the first in the family to go senile.
Anyway, the more I see of the prospect of getting to be my mother's age, the less attractive it becomes. It has to suck to outlive all your friends. It's like signing up for a tontine where the only pay-off is you get to attend everyone else's funerals. So I'm thinking along the same lines as Dr. Emanuel. Once I hit my sell by date (which I'd mentally set at 75 long before I read the essay), it's going to be palliative care only. No trying to delay the inevitable in a way that enriches pharmaceutical companies or helps a surgeon buy a new Mercedes. After all, in the end it doesn't really matter what you do -- you're still going to die.

Areas of Investigation
CRISPR Systems
Bacteria and archaea possess adaptive immunity against foreign genetic elements using CRISPR–Cas systems. Upon infection, new foreign DNA sequences are captured and integrated into the host CRISPR locus as new spacers. The CRISPR locus is transcribed and processed to generate mature CRISPR RNAs, each encoding a unique spacer sequence. Each crRNA associates with Cas effector proteins that use crRNAs as guides to silence foreign genetic elements that match the crRNA sequence. Doudna's team was the first to describe how this ancient immune system could be programmed to enable precise genome editing in model systems. Currently, they are interested in elucidating the mechanisms underlying CRISPR–Cas immunity, especially in understanding the functions of Cas proteins. In addition, they are working to develop novel CRISPR-based tools for biotechnology applications.
Translational Control
The Doudna lab is exploring multiple aspects of how our cells exert precise control over the production of proteins. For example, cells can produce multiple mRNA isoforms from a single gene by alternative transcription, splicing, and polyadenylation, and in turn, each isoform can be translated differently. Doudna and her group are developing new techniques to investigate this complex interplay.

There are many reasons why you should visit a professional teeth whitening dentist, the main ones being safety and efficiency. Before you decide to whiten your teeth, you should discuss the risks and time frame it may take to get the results you want with a dentist. When you whiten at home with store-bought products, you risk tooth sensitivity and enamel and root damage. Robert Daddio D.D.S. & Associates can help you determine what the risks are surrounding your individual teeth and what whitening system is best for your needs.
Why a professional teeth whitening dentist?
We can help to alleviate sensitivity as the patient whitens his or her teeth by recommending certain desensitizing toothpaste designed for vulnerable teeth. We can also check for discreet signs of root damage that could be the result of tooth whitening or other care regimens. We can treat any existing conditions that may be inhibiting the ability to whiten the teeth quickly and effectively. We increase the patient's teeth whitening success rate.
We can determine if the staining is caused by general wear and surface stains or by underlying issues that need to be addressed and fixed. These issues can include periodontal disease, smoking or silver-lined fillings. If the patient has existing bonding or other dental enhancements, we can help whiten areas and find ways to improve restorations.
Who is a good candidate for teeth whitening?
People whose teeth have naturally become stained due to eating and drinking are excellent candidates for teeth whitening. If you have any staining in inner layers on your teeth from medications or fluoride use, we will have to discuss other ways to improve the color of your teeth outside of our normal bleaching techniques. Before we begin your profession teeth whitening process, we will give your teeth a thorough cleaning and checkup to remove any surface stains that may get in the way of our bleaching techniques. Other good candidates are people who are generally unhappy with the current appearance of their teeth.
If one is considering cosmetic improvements for his or her teeth, then one needs to first pursue visiting a professional teeth whitening dentist. A teeth whitening is sometimes all patients need to greatly improve their smiles. A professional whitening will result in amazing results that brighten the entire smile.
Are the costs of professional teeth whitening reasonable?
Teeth whitening is one of the most affordable ways to improve your smile. Many people opt to whiten their teeth rather than having other more expensive improvements made. Our convenient in-office or at-home whitening treatments can give you immediate results that continue to develop with longer use. Instead of spending money on teeth whitening toothpaste and store-bought products, visit a professional to have your whitening implemented correctly at a reasonable price.
Before you visit a professional teeth whitening dentist for a bleaching, you should consider your oral health habits. Are you brushing and flossing your teeth like you should and visiting a dentist twice a year? Even when you have your teeth whitened, you need to maintain these healthy oral hygiene habits in order to elongate your whitened results. Visit our Palm Desert office today for more information.

Hundreds of law enforcement officers took part in a massive sweep against the leadership of Riverside's most notorious gang Wednesday, making 50 arrests and confiscating armor-piercing bullets, assault rifles, knives and two caged rattlesnakes.
"The weapons you see are a small sample of what is out there on the street," said Riverside Police Chief Russ Leach, standing by a table displaying guns, machetes and bullets at a Riverside news conference. "The gangs don't run the streets, the citizens do."
Some 650 officers representing 34 agencies, including the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, took part in the raids, designed to decapitate East Side Riva, or ESR, a gang with a 20-year history of wreaking havoc in Riverside County and beyond.
The two leaders, Robert Zavala Carillo, 37, and Mark Alexander Gill, 35, managed to escape, authorities said.
The gang's territory sits between downtown and the edges of UC Riverside. According to the Riverside County district attorney's office, the gang has about 820 members and maintains long-standing ties with the Mexican Mafia, which protects ESR members in prison in exchange for "taxes" on the gang's illegal drug sales.
The gang is also accused of hate crimes against African Americans.
A gang-produced, profanity-laced CD was found during the sweep; on it, gang members rapped about being unfairly targeted by a 2007 gang injunction, then taunted the police to try to shut them down.
"We're still here and still standing tall. . . . The D.A. will never make us small," they rap.
Riverside County Dist. Atty. Rod Pacheco said the rattlesnakes were found in one of the targeted homes.
"I'm told one bite can kill you in about 20 minutes," he said, glancing at the coiled snakes.
Acting U.S. Atty. George Cardona said 19 of those charged face possible life sentences because of the volume of drugs, mostly methamphetamine, they sold.
"Operation Promise" began 15 months ago when Leach and Pacheco grew worried about the growing menace posed by the East Side Riva.
The operational name grew out of Pacheco's promise to residents of Riverside's gritty, often violent East Side to crack down on the gang.
"I'd say 99% of people there are decent, hardworking folks, but unfortunately, 1% are gang members," Pacheco said.
"We did damage today to the top leadership, the folks who sell the drugs."
Pacheco said the gang had engaged in a "race war" against blacks, both those in rival gangs and ordinary citizens.
"The Rivas started it and they have been going after African American males ever since," he said.
"We had a guy getting gas who was shot in the head only because of the color of his skin. A lot of innocent people have been killed," he said.
Pacheco has a history of launching massive, high-profile operations.
Last year he sent in Apache helicopters, armored cars and 700 law enforcement agents against 450 gang members in Desert Hot Springs.
The sweep was dubbed "Operation Falling Sun" and was the biggest such sweep in county history.

Arts and Crafts are very much related to each other, as arts is a combination of three things fine arts, decorative arts and crafts. As a part of arts, crafts are defined as a trade art where an artist uses his skills to make an object and thing. He needs special skills for doing this. The main purpose of doing this is to earn money as he sold his items. This is also refer to a family business, as there are lots of families involved in this joint business, and don't need much capital to start this
Apart from income source, people can do this as a hobby too in their free time, but it is a time consuming process. After discussing individually arts and crafts, by combining these we would say that it is an activity cum hobbies related to the objects and things made by hands.These are of two types, the first is the most common one known as handicrafts, and other is rest. As per the name handicrafts is described as the hand made arts, with the combination of tradition as well as modern techniques. Now these are very popular, as there is everything done by machines, but this is the thing made by hands and has a good price value in market too, as it looks originality. This arts and craft become popular in the late 19th Century when there was a social revolution named Arts and Crafts Movement. These crafts products creative in nature as the design and art drawn on this is completely based of artist thinking or fiction.
An artist needs a combination of specialized tools or facilities and highly technical knowledge to make these objects. These crafts are of many types like some involves textile arts, For Example: - Shoe making, T-Shirt art, Sewing, cross-stitch, Banner making, Canvas work, Patchwork, etc. Then there are woodcrafts like metalworking, wood burning, jewelry, chip carving, pottery, etc. Paper crafts include: - Stamping, card making, marbling, book binding, scrap booking, etc. And then there are few miscellaneous crafts like dolling making, egg decorating, stained glass, etching, toy making etc. If we are discussing about Crafts and arts, then the two names that strike in our mind is William Morris and Edwin Lutyens. William Morris is best known for the British arts and crafts movement,though apart from this he has a famous name as artist, writer, and socialist. Edwin Lutyens, is also among the persons who believed that this work provide a source of joy, and enjoyment to the artist. He was a famous British Architect being famous for using imaginary traditional style in his architectural work.
These arts and crafts plays very important as a home furniture aspect, as we people use these furniture's commonly, and it's a good source of showpiece too. These may basically include oak wood and cherry furniture's and few famous are sofa set, beds, table, old-fashioned wall clock, and various designs on these items. It also includes designer kitchen utensils and then tableware's. All these items are must in home and hence having a good sale in the market. Though their prices are also reasonable.
In the above, I had tried to explain the role of arts and crafts in ancient time and today's world, how much it is valuable, what are the basic crafts things that we used in our life, and about the home furniture of arts and crafts. Hope you too are agreeing with the above lines and think same as me.

Tonight I went to an Intelligence Squared event entitled "Turmoil in the Middle East: Is the genie of democracy out of the bottle?" where 7 key academics and journalists on the Middle East reacted to the events in recent weeks.
On the panel were Oxford academics Tariq Ramadan and Eugene Rogan, brilliant SOAS academic Deniz Kandiyoti, City Uniersity academic Rosemary Hollis, journalists Nabila Ramdani and Roger Cohen and American military strategist Edward Luttwak.
I can't go into too much detail as it was a two-hour event but I wanted to summarise the top 5 points I took away.
