Celebrating the 46th anniversary of the first moon landing in stunning photos

Apollo 11 carried three astronauts to the moon with a mission of landing on the moon. This mission was carried out on July 20, 1969 when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon. They left commemorative medallions bearing the names of the three Apollo 1 astronauts who lost their lives as well as the names of two cosmonauts who also lost their lives in accidents. The astronauts left a plaque signed by the three astronauts as well as President Nixon. The two astronauts spent 21 hours 36 minutes on the moon’s surface before leaving to re-join the Command and Service Module and return to Earth.

(May 1, 1969) Portrait of the prime crew of the Apollo 11 lunar landing mission. From left to right they are: Commander, Neil A. Armstrong, Command Module Pilot, Michael Collins, and Lunar Module Pilot, Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. On July 20th 1969 at 4:18 PM, EDT the Lunar Module "Eagle" landed in a region of the Moon called the Mare Tranquillitatis, also known as the Sea of Tranquillity. After securing his spacecraft, Armstrong radioed back to earth: "Houston, Tranquility Base here, the Eagle has landed". At 10:56 p.m. that same evening and witnessed by a worldwide television audience, Neil Armstrong stepped off the "Eagle's landing pad onto the lunar surface and said: "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." He became the first human to set foot upon the Moon.

The space vehicle is shown here during the rollout for launch preparation. The 3-man crew aboard the flight consisted of Neil A. Armstrong, commander; Michael Collins, Command Module pilot; and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., Lunar Module pilot. Armstrong was the first human to ever stand on the lunar surface, followed by Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin. The crew collected 47 pounds of lunar surface material which was returned to Earth for analysis. The surface exploration was concluded in 2½ hours. With the success of Apollo 11, the national objective to land men on the Moon and return them safely to Earth had been accomplished. The Saturn V launch vehicle was developed by the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) under the direction of Dr. Wernher von Braun.

The three crewmen remained in the MQF until they arrive at the Manned Spacecraft Center’s (MSC) Lunar Receiving Laboratory (LRL). While astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin descended in the Lunar Module (LM) “Eagle” to explore the Sea of Tranquility region of the Moon, astronaut Collins remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) “Columbia” in lunar-orbit.

Blue-Chip Tenants from multiple industries drive improvements in office market

PARSIPPANY — Blue-chip tenants in varying industries are at the forefront of the steady improvement of New Jersey’s office market, according to Transwestern’s Second-Quarter 2015 Office Market report, despite the number of Fortune 500 companies headquartered in New Jersey dropping to 19. Transwestern is located at 300 Kimball Drive, Suite 1.

“The continued improvement of the New Jersey office market is reflective of the state’s diversification and balance,” said James Postell, Partner, City Leader at Transwestern. “While the number of Fortune 500 companies headquartered in the state has decreased from 21, several remain extremely active in the state in various locations and industries.”

With companies such as MetLife Inc., GlaxoSmithKline and New York Life Insurance Co. signing leases during the second quarter, nearly 400,000 square feet of office space was absorbed, marking the fifth quarter of positive net absorption in the past six quarters. Year-over-year, 1.7 million square feet of positive absorption was recorded – the fourth straight quarter where year-over-year absorption exceeded 1 million square feet.

“Transit-oriented locales such as Jersey City and Woodbridge/MetroPark are performing well, “said Matthew Dolly, Transwestern’s research director for New Jersey. “Suburban regions such as Parsippany, Somerset/Interstate 78 East and the often-maligned Route 287 South are competing by investing in capital improvements and improving mass transit options. Conversely, the Bergen North submarket was hit hard by move-outs, and the vacancy rate has doubled from 8.0 percent to 16.0 percent during the past 18 months.”

More than 1.2 million square feet of inventory was added during the past 12 months, with an additional 2 million square feet under construction.

Asking rents declined slightly to $24.72 for the quarter, compared to $24.91 for the previous quarter, a reflection of the quality space that has been taken off the market.

Insurance companies are increasing their market presence.

Life science companies, especially small and mid-sized firms, are active in the market.

Corporate consolidations and move-outs are still anticipated, especially in the pharmaceutical sector, which has experienced a great deal of change as the market has evolved.

This sweetie pie is Corey; He is looking for a new home

Corey is about 10-11 weeks old and he was rescued along with his sisters, Cassidy and Cayley from a high kill shelter in North Carolina.

Corey is happy now that he is in a foster home in New Jersey. His foster family loves him and this is what they had to say about him…” Corey is a love!! He is a friendly and playful puppy. And, he is quite the cuddler! Loves to be petted, loves to get belly rubs and loves to sleep with you. He is just adorable! Corey is having fun running around the yard chasing our dogs and he is good with our cat. All types of toys, especially balls are fun for Corey. He sleeps through the night without having an accident and he is house trained. When he wants to go out, he lets you know by crying.  

Corey enjoys being with people. Giving everyone puppy kisses and he will follow everyone around the house. He does this really cute thing where he will sit with us and watch the tv!”

Corey is looking for his furever home. Is it with you? 

If you have a furever home for this pet, please e-mail FHDR@att.net and request an adoption application. To see more photos or Corey or to see our other adoptable pups, please go to www. fhdr.petfinder.com

“Stop & Shop is always looking for convenient locations to better serve our customers,” said Don Sussman, Stop & Shop’s New York Metro Division President. “We are very happy to have the opportunity to expand our presence in greater New York and serve new customers.  We look forward to providing customers with delivering unmatched selection, quality and value that they have come to expect from Stop & Shop.”
