In a way, though, it had already started back home in the late 1950s with the arrival of James Dean's Rebel Without a Cause at the Rivoli Cinema. By the time the film was screening, Dean had already been killed in a car crash. Looking back now, I realize that it was not the film's theme (the generation gap) that made Dean a legend. No, it was the blue denim jeans and the red zip-up jacket ‘Jimmie' wore in the film that really started the youth revolution. Klonaris, a Downtown sportswear shop (which still exists to this day) on Abdel Khalek Tharwat Street, offered a similar version of that zip-up jacket, but I arrived too late to buy the red one — they had sold out, and I had to make do with a khaki substitute. A few years later though, I had no problem buying an Aquascotum suit similar to Sean Connery's in Goldfinger (1964), but that was from a London store.

New technology can seal ductwork with aerosol
This being the Christmas season, I am going to write about a part of the government that works to make life better and actually saves you money. This part of the government produced Aeroseal, a technology that cuts residential and commercial heating and cooling bills by about 30 percent. In doing so, it saves a vast amount of energy and could dramatically cut down on greenhouse gases. The technology was developed by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Many of the lab's research activities are fairly arcane, but have practical applications that are licensed to corporations. Recently, they licensed a gene therapy for Parkinson's disease; ion mobility analysis technology for cardiovascular disease indicators; and technology for the cost-effective removal of mercury from coal-fired power plant emissions.
