The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company is an American multinational tire manufacturing company founded in 1898 by Frank Seiberling and based in Akron, Ohio. Goodyear manufactures tires for automobiles, commercial trucks, light trucks, motorcycles, SUVs, race cars, airplanes, farm equipment and heavy earth-moving machinery. It also makes bicycle tires, having returned from a break in production between 1976 and 2015. As of 2017, Goodyear is one of the top four tire manufacturers along with Bridgestone (Japan), Michelin (France) and Continental (Germany)
The company was named after American Charles Goodyear, inventor of vulcanized rubber. The first Goodyear tires became popular because they were easily detachable and required little maintenance.
Though Goodyear had been manufacturing airships and balloons since the early 1900s, the first Goodyear advertising blimp flew in 1925. Today, it is one of the most recognizable advertising icons in America. The company is the most successful tire supplier in Formula One history, with more starts, wins, and constructors' championships than any other tire supplier. They pulled out of the sport after the 1998 season. It is the sole tire supplier for NASCAR series.
Goodyear was the first global tire manufacturer to enter China when it invested in a tire manufacturing plant in Dalian in 1994.
Goodyear was a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average between 1930 and 1999. The company opened a new global headquarters building in Akron in 2013.

TV Commercial for the movie Demolition Man as broadcast in 1994
Demolition Man is a 1993 American science fiction action film directed by Marco Brambilla in his directorial debut. It stars Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes, Sandra Bullock, and Nigel Hawthorne. Stallone is John Spartan, a risk-taking police officer, who has a reputation for causing destruction while carrying out his work. After a failed attempt to rescue hostages from evil crime lord Simon Phoenix (Snipes), they are both sentenced to be cryogenically frozen in 1996. Phoenix is thawed for a parole hearing in 2032, but escapes. Society has changed and all crime has seemingly been eliminated. Unable to deal with a criminal as dangerous as Phoenix, the authorities awaken Spartan to help capture him again. The story makes allusions to many other works including Aldous Huxley's 1932 dystopian novel Brave New World, and H. G. Wells's The Sleeper Awakes.
The film was released in the United States on October 8, 1993. It earned $159 million worldwide and was considered a successful film for Stallone.

DiGiorno and Delissio are a co-owned brand of frozen pizzas sold in the United States and Canada, respectively, and are currently subsidiaries of Nestlé.
Giorno manufactures over 250,000 pizzas each day for consumers for national sale in the mainland United States. Total revenue from pizza sales in 2017 was just over $1 billion. The DiGiorno product line originally offered pastas and sauces in 1991, and pizzas have been available internationally in Canada and the U.S. since 1995.
The brand's slogan is "It's not delivery. It's DiGiorno/Delissio," which suggests that their frozen pizzas are of high enough quality that they might be mistaken for fresh pizzeria pizzas.
DiGiorno rebranded to Delissio in Canada in 1999, although Kraft had previously used the Delissio brand for other pizza products in the 1980s.
In 2010, Kraft sold the DiGiorno and Delissio brands, along with the rest of its frozen pizza business, to Swiss-based food manufacturer Nestlé. The move helped to finance Kraft's bid for Cadbury, while also effectively ensuring that Nestlé would not submit a competing bid for the confectionery company. Since Nestlé acquired Kraft's frozen pizza business, the DiGiorno brand has expanded to include bonus appetizers in a box, including breadsticks, boneless chicken pieces called Wyngz, and Toll House cookies.
In 2013, DiGiorno's dairy supplier, Foremost Farms USA, dropped Wiese Brothers Farm after the animal rights organization Mercy for Animals released undercover footage showing workers there beating, dragging, and whipping dairy cows, some of which appear unable to walk, while others have infected or freely bleeding wounds. Nestlé and Foremost Farms USA denied any knowledge of the abuse.

Subaru is the automobile manufacturing division of Japanese transportation conglomerate Subaru Corporation (formerly known as Fuji Heavy Industries), the twenty-first largest automaker by production worldwide in 2017.
Subaru cars are known for their use of a boxer engine layout in most vehicles above 1500 cc. The Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive drive-train layout was introduced in 1972. Both became standard equipment for mid-size and smaller cars in most markets by 1996. The lone exception is the BRZ, introduced in 2012 via a partnership with Toyota, which pairs the boxer engine with rear-wheel-drive. Subaru also offers turbocharged versions of their passenger cars, such as the WRX, Legacy and Outback XT, Ascent, and formerly the Legacy GT and Forester XT.
In Western markets, Subaru vehicles have traditionally attracted a small but devoted core of buyers. The company's marketing targets those who desire its signature engine and drive train, all-wheel drive and rough-road capabilities, or affordable sports car designs.

Founded in 1907 by Michael T. Bannigan and Patrick J. McQuade, McQuade & Bannigan, Inc. began as a coal and mason supply business in Utica, NY. In 1917 the business was incorporated, at which time Patrick McQuade retired. Michael Bannigan assumed management of the company until his death in 1935, when his son George took over as president.
The Great Depression of the 1930s was a difficult time for all businesses, and the inability of both residential and commercial customers to meet their obligations brought the company to the verge of bankruptcy. George Bannigan, however, negotiated long-term payments with all of the company's creditors and through his perseverance every creditor was paid in full. Upon his return from the Service in WWII, Bernard "Bud" Bannigan joined his brother in the business. It fell to him to develop the contractor's equipment side of the business, long a secondary line to the coal business.
For fourteen years following the war, the coal business gradually diminished as it was replaced by other heating fuels, and the contractor's equipment division grew.
In the early 1960s a major change took place. The main office, warehouse, and coal trestle, located since the founding of the company at 829 Noyes Street, was appropriated by New York State as part of the route of the present Route 12 North-South Arterial. The company relocated to its current site on Stark Street.
In 1969 Tom Sebastian, son-in-law to Bud Bannigan, was the first of the third generation to join the business. Bud succeeded George as President in 1977 and over the next seven years Robert, John and Michael, sons to Bud, returned from other occupations to contribute to the growing enterprise.
A strong Central and Northern NY construction economy provided the fertile ground for further expansion. In 1986 a Watertown branch opened. The first facility was quickly outgrown, and in 1988 a new 15,000 square foot office, showroom and warehouse was constructed in the Bradley Street Commerce Park at the intersection of I-81 and Route 12.
In Utica the Stark Street site had for years provided more than enough room for a small family business, but further growth in the late 1980s mandated expansion. In 1988 a 15,000 square foot addition to the main building began a progression of expansion over the next fourteen years that saw the addition of close to 40,000 square feet of additional office, showroom and warehouse space. The present complex includes six buildings in Utica.
In 2006 the Syracuse branch opened on East Molloy Road. This facility enabled the company to better service its significant customer base in that city, as well as expand its service into the additional markets of Ithaca and Rochester.
In 2012 The Sign Shop is born in the Watertown location and begins offering custom signage to the general public, businesses and municipalities. In 2016 custom apparel is added to their expansive list of services.
With Bud Bannigan retiring from full-time service in 1985, Tom Sebastian became president of the company with Robert, John and Michael Bannigan filling the other officers' positions. By the late 1990s members of the fourth generation (Keith, Kelly, Colleen, Mike, and Tim) began to enter the business, gradually filling key positions to help guide the company's growth into the twenty-first century. In 2010-2011 Mike and Tom retire and Bob and John take on chief executive roles. In 2018 the fourth generation assumes partial ownership and takes on increased management and sales roles.

Lufenuron is the active ingredient in the veterinary flea control medication Program, and one of the two active ingredients in the flea, heartworm, ringworm and anthelmintic medicine milbemycin oxime/lufenuron (Sentinel).
Lufenuron is stored in the animal's body fat and transferred to adult fleas through the host's blood when they feed. Adult fleas transfer it to their growing eggs through their blood, and to hatched larvae feeding on their excrement. It does not kill adult fleas.[citation needed]
Lufenuron, a benzoylurea pesticide, inhibits the production of chitin in insects. Without chitin, a larval flea will never develop a hard outer shell (exoskeleton). With its inner organs exposed to air, the insect dies from dehydration soon after hatching or molting (shedding its old, smaller shell).[citation needed]
Lufenuron is also used to fight fungal infections, since fungus cell walls are about one third chitin.
Lufenuron is also sold as an agricultural pesticide for use against lepidopterans, eriophyid mites, and western flower thrips. It is an effective antifungal in plants.

A new IBM PC client launched in 1988, eventually renamed as America Online in 1989. AOL grew to become the largest online service, displacing established players like CompuServe and The Source. By 1995, AOL had about three million active users.
AOL was one of the early pioneers of the Internet in the mid-1990s, and the most recognized brand on the web in the United States. It originally provided a dial-up service to millions of Americans, as well as providing a web portal, e-mail, instant messaging and later a web browser following its purchase of Netscape. In 2001, at the height of its popularity, it purchased the media conglomerate Time Warner in the largest merger in U.S. history. AOL rapidly shrank thereafter, partly due to the decline of dial-up and rise of broadband AOL was eventually spun off from Time Warner in 2009, with Tim Armstrong appointed the new CEO. Under his leadership, the company invested in media brands and advertising technologies.
On June 23, 2015, AOL was acquired by Verizon Communications for $4.4 billion. On May 3, 2021, Verizon announced it would sell Yahoo and AOL to private equity firm Apollo Global Management for $5 billion.
