    ARTIFICIAL HEART
    November 30, 2001 - Louisville, U.S.A.

    In 2001, Robert Tools, 59, the first person in the world to receive a fully self-contained artificial heart, died in Louisville, Ky. Five months earlier, on 2 Jul 2001, doctors at Jewish Hospital in Louisville had implanted the AbioCor heart replacement. He died of internal bleeding and organ failure after living with the device whirring in his chest for 151 days. Doctors said the death was not caused by problems with the AbioCor heart device. They blamed the severe abdominal bleeding on long-standing health problems. Unlike earlier artificial hearts (such as the Jarvik-7) the AbioCor has no wires or tubes that stick out of the chest and connect to a big compressor. The battery-powered, plastic-and-titanium device is the size of a softball.

    CERN’S HADRON COLLIDER OPERATES AS A HIGH ENERGY ACCELERATOR
    November 30, 2009 - Switzerland

    "CERN's Large Hadron Collider has today become the world's highest energy particle accelerator, having accelerated its twin beams of protons to an energy of 1.18 TeV in the early hours of the morning," said the organisation. A teraelectronvolt (TeV) is equivalent to the energy level of a flying mosquito, while CERN wants to ultimately achieve maximum power of 7.0 teraelectronvolts or trillion electronvolts in its bid to replicate the big bang that started the universe.

If your back porch is empty it might be time to think about adding some great patio furniture. Patio furniture is a simple way to add a lot to any porch or deck.

Think about the many uses of well chosen patio furniture. First, having great patio furniture for your back deck or porch will encourage you to be outside more. When the weather turns nice not many people want to remain indoors any longer. Most look for ways to get out into the beautiful weather. But who is anxious to use their back porch or deck if it is totally empty? No one will rush outside to read a book or enjoy a glass of lemonade without somewhere comfortable to sit. Everyone could use a little more time outside, so think about purchasing some patio furniture so you can get out and enjoy the weather.

Another great reason to purchase patio furniture is to have a place to enjoy one of the most classic things to do in summer: barbequing. Every family I know could use an excuse to spend more time together and nothing is more fun in the summer than enjoying a great barbeque. Adding perfect patio furniture can give youreason to fire up that grill and make a family memory. If barbequing isn’t something your family enjoys consider having a game night using your patio furniture or make a picnic to enjoy just outside your home. Get creative. The important thing here is to use your new patio furniture to spend more quality time as a family, whatever that means for you.

Having patio furniture brings you one step closer to being able to host a great summer party. Invite all of your closest family and friends over to enjoy an afternoon of fun, food and fellowship. People will love to share good conversation and a glass of iced tea while they lounge on your patio furniture. There is nothing worse than hosting a party and having no where for people to sit and relax. You can host the best parties of the summer if you add small things like patio furniture to make your home more guest and party friendly.

A final great reason to consider purchasing patio furniture for your home is that patio furniture is really durable. Unlike some purchases that you have to buy over and over, when you purchase quality patio furniture you are investing in something that will add fun to your summers for years to come. Be sure to choose a style that will last a long time and that you’ll enjoy for a while. Shy away from choosing a trendy design or fabric pattern for your patio furntiture. The more basic and classic you choose, the longer you will want to keep it.

If you still aren’t convinced that patio furniture is right for you, a final thing I can suggest is to check it out. Go to a store or two and see what is available. Take time to sit in the chairs. I’m quite sure that once you see how full of comfort patio furniture really is, you’ll be purchasing some for your home before you know it.
