Nuremberg Trial – 75 Years Ago – and What It Means Today: In the Midst of a World Tyranny
By Peter Koenig
Region: Russia and FSU
Theme: History
On Saturday 21 November 2020 Russia celebrated the 75th Anniversary of the beginning of the Nuremberg Trials which started on 20 November 1945 and lasted almost a year, until 1 October 1946. The Tribunal was given the task of trying and judging 24 of the most atrocious political and military leaders of the Third Reich.
For this unique celebration – so we shall never forget – Russian leaders and people of the Arts and History organized a Special Performance of Giuseppe Verdi's "Requiem" at Moscow's Helikon Opera Theatre.
Daniel Hawkins, from RT, introduced this extraordinary event, as a journey through history, a journey through life and death, when some of – at that time – most genocidal people in history had to answer for their crimes.
This opera event was prepared for more than a year and was first performed in January 2020 for the Holocaust victims and the victims of the Nazi concentration camps in Leningrad.
Nuremberg Trial
The Nuremberg Trials were conducted by an International Military Tribunal. They resulted in 12 death sentences.
The idea of the "Requiem" performance is "not just to appeal to emotions, but to reason. Because if we fail to learn from history, the tragedy could be repeated."
This is precisely what Sergei Novikov, head of the (Russian) presidential directorate for social projects, intimidated. He says,
"Despite of what we have seen happening 75 years ago – we do not seem to have learned a lesson. Today we seem to go down the same road, which is frightening."
The musical performance interplays with theatrical realism – so memories are awake and moving – better than a museum. The educational impact of this celebration of remembrance is extremely important – especially for the young people, who do not remember these events, but with this first-class performance, they may learn a crucial lesson – a lesson, hardly talked about in history books – and even less so in the west.
If we compare what has happened then – 75 years ago – actually the anti-Jewish demonstration in Berlin, known as Kristallnacht, on 9 and 10 November 1938, effectively the beginning of WWII, and look at today's extremism in Europe, Germany, France, Austria, Belgium – we should know that we are not far from a tyranny we knew as "Nationalsozialismus" – a political Nazi-concept of the late 1930s and up to mid-1940s, that today can best be compared with extreme neoliberalism – and merciless oppression of peoples' rights by police and military.
Let us reflect on Todays World.
Are we not steps away from "a totalitarian government". But again, today, like then, we are blind to it.
There may be a time when we can no longer move – when we are in constant lockdown, masked – with dismembered faces, so to speak, kept away from each other under the pretext of social distancing – so that we cannot communicate with one another – all for reasons of public health, for the "good intentions" of our governments to protect us from an evil virus – the corona virus.
Today, this oppression is the result of a long-term plan by a small elite to implement The Great Reset (Klaus Schwab, WEF, July 2020) – see this and this.
There is, of course, a good reason, why Moscow wants the world to remember what WWII meant and how eventually Nazi-Germany was defeated – yes, largely if not solely by enormous sacrifices of the Soviet Union. Some 25 to 30 million USSR soldiers and Soviet citizens had left their lives for salvaging Europe – and possibly the world – from an all invading fascism.
The United States, nominally an ally of the Soviet Union, had clandestinely funded the Third Reich's war against the Soviet Union. (See the analysis of Dr. Jacques Pauwels)
One of the key purposes for the US of getting "involved" in WWII, other than defeating the British Empire, was to defeat their arch-enemy, communist Soviet Union. The Rockefellers funded Hitler's war machine by providing them with hydrocarbons, with petrol, the energy that drove the war.
On the other hand, the Federal Reserve (FED), via the Bank for International Settlement (BIS) – the pyramid tower still omni-present in Basle, Switzerland, near the German border – transferred gigantic monetary resources to the Reichsbank (at that time Hitler's equivalent of a German Central Bank)
Verdi's Requiem Performance in Moscow on 21 November is important to go back in history and open the "memory books" in front if our eyes.
It is even more important, as we see the trend towards fascism taking over the entire European continent – and possibly also in the United States.
Europe basically ignores the importance of the 75th Anniversary of the Nuremberg Trials which still, as of this date, provides precedents for international war crimes – except, these precedents are miserably ignored, if not, we would have multiple repeats of Nuremberg in our days and age – with European and US leaders (sic) in "retirement' but still with power.
Our dystopian western world is beset by war criminals even to the point where they blackmail judges of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, not to touch their – the European and US – war crimes, or else…
That's where we have arrived.
Since we are going back to the times when WWII and Nuremberg happened, we should take the opportunity to also look at the Big Picture – one that may be at the root of this new wave of fascism invading Europe. It is in essence a "health dictatorship"; it has become a Health Martial Law. Many countries have ratified, quietly, or rammed it through Parliament without the public at large noticing – a law allowing them switching from everyday life to an emergency situation, i.e. (health) Martial Law.
The Big Picture though is a diabolical plan of eugenics. Yes, it's a term nobody wants to use, but it must be said, because it's one of the fundamental principles that lies in all that is planned, the 2010 Rockefeller Report entitled "Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development Area" and the extremely important WHO Report "A World at Risk" – Annual Report on Global Preparedness for Health Emergencies, by the Global Preparedness Monitoring Board – GPMB (September 2019).
Key members of this Monitoring Board include the World Bank, IMF, CDC and many more influential players, who have been concocting the "Preparedness" for a new epidemic since at least 2016, when the World Bank set up a special "Health Emergency Fund" to face the "next pandemic". See this also.
Also, part of the SARS-Cov-2 preparedness – and planned outbreak, was Event 201 (18 October 2019), NYC, sponsored by Gates, the WEF, and the Johns Hopkins School for Medicine (Rockefeller created and funded), which simulated the outbreak of a SARS-Cov-2 virus – which curiously happened a couple of months later. The "outbreak" was actually officially announced on the dot of the beginning of the 2020 Decade.
The Big Picture scheme also includes as an aftermath to covid, The Great Reset by Klaus Schwab, WEF, July 2020), a plan to implement the 4th Industrial Revolution and the enslavement of the remaining population. The Rockefellers and Bill Gates, Kissinger and many more – have nurtured the idea of massively reducing the world population for at least the last 70 years.
Ever since the Rockefellers espoused the concept of the "Bilderberger Society" (a parallel organization to the WEF (World Economic Forum), with overlapping and an ever-moving memberships) – their one and only continuous "project" was a selective population reduction. And they actually never made it a secret. See Bill Gates TedTalk in February 2010 – just about the time when the infamous 2010 Rockefeller Report was issued – the one that has us now in "lockstep" following all the rules and regulations, issued by the WHO and supported by the entire UN system (see this).
Why then was the eugenics agenda never seriously picked up by the mainstream, by the public at large? – Possibly, because nobody can even imagine people so evil to actually wanting to make this reality. How they infiltrated themselves into human society is a mystery.
To implement such a massive plan on a worldwide scale, one needs a uniform approach to world health. In 1948, just a couple of years after the Nuremberg trials started, where war criminals like the Rockefellers should also have been indicted for supplying the enemy (German Nazis) with energy to drive their (anti-Soviet) war machine – back then, in 1948, Rockefeller created the WHO, the World Health Organization.
The philanthropic Rockefeller Foundation (RF) has marked the field of health like no other organization. The oil magnate, John D. Rockefeller "to promote the well-being of mankind throughout the world." Hence, the RF created and provided the original funding to set up WHO in 1948. On 7 April 1948, WHO inherited the mandate and resources of its predecessor, the Health Organization, which had been an agency of the League of Nations. Twenty-six (out of then 58) UN members ratified WHO as a UN agency under the UN Constitution.
Once you have "Global Health" under one roof, the WHO, funded in part by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the pharmaceutical industries (predominantly GAVI – Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization – also created by Bill Gates in 2000) and you also have the predominant donor, Bill Gates, an obsessed vaxxer (and eugenist) without any medical training, choose WHO's Director General – Dr.Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, a buddy of Gates and former Board Member of GAVI – it is relatively easy to make the foundation of WHO's health policies based on vaccination.
That's what we see today. As we have heard from Gates' TedTalk (2010 see above), vaccination seems to lend itself perfectly to reduce the world population. It has the further advantage, that if anything goes "wrong" – no vaccine company can be held responsible, let alone being sued. For example, if people get seriously ill or die from the vaccinations – which would not be a surprise, after the Covid-19 are planned to be administered in warp speed – the vaccine pharmaceuticals cannot be sued.
In fact, vaccine companies do not bear any liability risk. The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) of 1986 (42 U.S.C. §§ 300aa-1 to 300aa-34), was signed into law by US President Ronald Reagan on November 14, 1986. NCVIA's purpose was to eliminate the potential financial liability of vaccine manufacturers due to vaccine injury, since lawsuits led many manufacturers to stop producing the vaccines, a lame argument, but that shows once more the lobbying power the pharma industry commands.
That's where we stand today. Any sinister vaccination agenda, no matter how hurtful to the public, is home free. Today we are at this crucial point of massive forced vaccination. Many governments, i.e. UK's Boris Johnson and Australia's Scott Morrison, have already advanced the idea of a vaccination-pass. Without it you are banned from flying and from just about every public event. That's promising.
And one might ask – what does that have to do with public health?
What is the real agenda behind it?
Again, returning to the Nuremberg Trials – aren't we in the midst of a world tyranny – to which 190 (out of 193) UN member countries subscribed (including Russia and China, excluding Nicaragua, Sweden and Belarus), or were coerced into – a tyranny that has already been genocidal, in as much as it has destroyed the world economy, creating countless bankruptcies, unemployment – untold poverty and misery and death – and now a massive vaccination campaign.
A world tyranny inflicted by all 193 UN member countries – whatever their motivation – all these governments and the heads of WHO and the entire UN system belongs before a new Nuremburg-type Tribunal – where the same legal principal would be applied as 75 years ago – in 1945.
Who says this will not happen? We can make it happen. We, the People, are the 99.99% – they are only 0.01 %. We have the power to resist – and we will prevail.

FrameworkC fails to compile in this case. If the '.mm' file is renamed to '.m', FrameworkC compiles. If the '-Swift.h' file isn't imported, FrameworkC compiles.
I've attached a sample Xcode project, to reproduce this issue, just build the FrameworkC target using Xcode 7.2.1.

Q: Angular Frequency interpretation? I just began a topic on waves and oscillations and came across a term angular frequency ($\omega$) which was stated as $2\pi f$. However, I have seen the same symbol $\omega$, used for angular velocity. I know how to interpret angular velocity as the rate of change of angular displacement and how it relates to rotational motion, however I'm really confused with angular frequency as it relates to Simple Harmonic Motion and how I'm meant to interpret it.

A: You can take it as simply a definition, but the best way to motivate the definition is to observe that simple harmonic motion is the motion of the projection onto a straight line of the motion of a particle undergoing uniform circular motion (i.e. with constant angular velocity about the circle's center).
So, imagine a particle undergoing uniform circular motion on a unit radius circular path centered at the origin of a Cartesian co-ordinate system and with the motion confined to the $x-y$ plane. If the particle's constant angular speed is $\omega$, then the $x$-component of the particle's motion is described by $x=\cos(\omega\,t+\delta)$, for some constant phase $\delta$.

A: The function describing a simple harmonic oscilator is:
$$x(t) = A \cos(\omega t+\phi)$$
which satisfies
$$m\frac{d^2x(t)}{dt^2}=-k\,x(t).$$
You can also verify that
$$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}.$$
Now imagine having a vector with length A and imagine that this vector starts rotating with a constant angular velocity $\omega$ and phase $\phi$. It's clear that the projection of this vector on the x-axis is exactly equal to the first equation.
We conclude that these two motions can be described with equivalent equations and therefore we call the parameter $\omega$ the angular velocity of the HO.

1:35 Rus. T34/85 Mtl. Kampfpanzer
The T34/85 was built with the aim of overpowering the new and improved German Tiger and Panther tanks which the Russian forces were encountering. It was given a powerful 85mm main gun and a 3-man turret enclosed by cast-iron heavy armor, while the hull featured sloped armor. Nonetheless, it was a relatively lightweight vehicle and thanks to the power supplied by the 500hp V-12 diesel engine was very maneuverable. Around 29,000 were produced between late 1943 and June 1945, and together with its predecessor the T34/76 it provided the impetus for the Russian advance on Berlin.
• 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 235mm, width: 88mm.
• The T34/85 form with sloped hull armor is faithfully recreated, including renderings of the rough cast iron finish characteristic of Soviet tanks. Weld joints are also accurately recreated.
• Features moveable long-barreled 85mm main gun.
• Gunner's rail on hull and other details are depicted using separate parts.
• Belt-type parts give an accurate and fuss-free recreation of the tracks.
• Includes accessory parts such as fuel cans and spare track links.
• Commander and gunner hatches are openable.

With 2 million tons of olives harvested this season, Morocco is now the fourth largest olive oil producer in the world, an increase of 28 per cent compared to the harvest in 2017.
Akhannouch emphasized the significance of the main fruit tree cultivated in Morocco which covers more than 1.07 million hectares, accounting for 65 per cent of the tree species in the country.
The sector is also a major source of employment, providing 380,000 permanent jobs. Women make up 20 per cent of workers in the field and contribute to the trade balance by ensuring the inflow of foreign currency estimated at MAD 1.8 billion annually.
Morocco's major regions for olive production are Marrakech, Fez, Meknes, and Casablanca.
Akhannouch explained that olive trees in the Marrakech-Safi region cover an area of 223,600 hectares, constituting 20 per cent of the olive areas in Morocco and contributing 487,000 tons, 24 per cent, of the national olive production.
Investments in the industry are driven by the Green Morocco Plan (PMV), which set up 21,000 hectares of new olive plantations between September 2016 and September 2017, with two-thirds of the plantations part of solidarity-based agricultural projects, "Pillar II" of the plan.

The Face Shop SMIM Fermentation Concentrate Treatment, Toner, Emulsion Special Set Review and Ingredients Analysis
The Face Shop, the Korean brand known for its skincare and makeup, has released a few sets for Christmas, and one of the sets (which I predict is is going to be pretty popular, if it isn't already!) is The SMIM Fermentation Concentrate Special Set ($69.90), which consists of bottles of The SMIM Fermentation Concentrate Total Treatment, The SMIM Fermentation Concentrate Toner, and The SMIM Ferementation Concentrate Emulsion. If you're wondering what SMIM stands for, it's apparently a shortened way of the Korean phrase "seu-myeo-deul-da", which means to absorb and penetrate, which is what the products are advertised to do. The SMIM product line consists of Yeast Ferment Extract, which apparently is the feature ingredient here.
The Face Shop SMIM Fermentation Concentrate Special Set: Just in time for Christmas, too!
And apparently, I've been told by other bloggers at a previous Face Shop event sometime back (and documented on my Instagram) that apparently, The SMIM Fermentation Concentrate Treatment is very similar to the fabled SKII Facial Treatment Essence, although I've no idea if that is true or not. I suppose that is where all the similarities to SKII come about - after all, SKII has their story about Pitera too (I have to file that Pitera thing for another post - I've been getting some friends asking me whether pitera really works).
The Face Shop SMIM Fermentation Concentrate Special Set: With Treatment, Toner, and Emulsion
But in any case, you can see why the product set is going to sell well - aesthetically speaking, these are lightweight, lotion-formula products that feel great on the skin, and the Yeast Fermentation concept, are definitely attractive to consumers. The comparisons to SKII can't hurt either! So, I thought it's high time I did my review on this, seeing that Christmas is approaching. I've been so caught up this holiday season that I haven't been blogging about the Christmas things as much as I'd like, but I thought this was worth a review!
And of course, we're going to review this my style, and start at my favourite part of the product - the ingredients lists!
If you look at the ingredients lists, you'll see that right at the top of the SMIM Fermentation Concentrate Treatment, (and also included in the other two products, the Toner and Emulsion), is the ingredient Yeast Ferment Extract. I take it as a good sign that the Yeast Ferment Extract is the first ingredient on the Treatment ingredient list, because it means The Face Shop has been advertising honestly, because the yeast is actually there in significant amounts (I can't tell you how many products I've seen advertise feature ingredients that aren't actually present in meaningful amounts in the product). That said, I'm sure you're wondering: What exactly is this yeast in my skincare, and what does it do for my skin?
The Face Shop SMIM Fermentation Concentrate Special Set Ingredients List
First of all, let's settle the question of what this Yeast Ferment Extract is. After all, there are many species of yeast, and not all of them are friendly to humans! There's the genus Saccharomyces, which includes Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the common yeast used in baking and alcohol production (it works by converting carbohydrates into carbon dioxide and alcohol), there is the genus Cryptococcus, which includes C. neoformans which is pathogenic to humans, and then there is the genus Candida, which occurs naturally in ladyparts but can also cause infection. Unfortunately the specific yeast species doesn't seem to be named, but we can hazard an intelligent guess as to what species is used.
The most likely candidate is Saccharomyces cerevisia. This is because 1) it's a pretty common form of yeast, which might explain why it's labled just "yeast" on the ingredient list rather than its proper species name, 2) this seems to be the most common yeast used in skincare - Paula's Choice has an article devoted to it (and she further notes that it reproduces well, which is partly why it's commonly used in skincare products), and 3) there seem to be no shortage of companies supplying Saccharomyces cerivisia in various forms for use in cosmetic ingredients - a quick search on Prospector, an industry database of ingredients and chemicals for personal care products, turns up over 200 results, including from some big-name companies like Ashland, Lonza, Clariant and so on. A number of these ingredient suppliers also supply plain ol' yeast for baking and alcohol too, and 4) science-wise, this seems to have more research behind it.
The Face Shop SMIM Fermentation Concentrate Special Set: One of the key ingredients is Yeast Ferment Extract
So now that we're assuming that it's most likely Saccharomyces cerevisiae that we're putting on our skin, what does it do? That's also where I again got a little stumped, but because there isn't much published science on what Saccharomyces cerevisiae can do for your skin. Of course, this doesn't mean there is no research - it could be that the research is conducted by the manufacturers of the ingredients and not published for intellectual property reasons. But in terms of looking up the science, a lack of published research isn't the ideal outcome. Paula's Choice assigns yeast the possibility of antioxidant properties (with some caveats), but when I looked up the science, I didn't find that much about yeast having antioxidant properties. Most of the literature I came across seemed to indicate that yeast extracts could help in wound healing - in mice, in horses, and also in human ulcers. There is also some evidence that yeast could have anti-inflammatory properties. A neat little summary of yeast and its medical uses is available here, although it doesn't talk about topical use on skin. So there you go - there is some evidence that yeast when applied topically to skin, could aid in wound-healing, and have anti-inflammatory properties too.
So, now that you know what yeast does for skin, let's continue our ingredients analysis! I'll also talk about my own experience with the products at the same time, too.
The yeast in The Face Shop SMIM Fermentation Concentrate series could provide anti-inflammatory and wound-healing benefits
We'll start with the SMIM Fermentation Concentrate Treatment. The first ingredient is Yeast Ferment Extract. After that, there are ingredients that are emollients (Glycereth-26, Methyl-Gluceth-20, which also has humectant properties), humectants (Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Butylene Glycol), and functional ingredients like slip agents (Dipropylene Glycol), emulsifiers (Polysorbate 80, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil), film formers (Polyquaternium-51), thickeners (Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer) pH adjusters and rheology modifier (Triethanolamine, Xanthan gum), and preservatives (1,2-Hexanediol). I'm pleased to also see the inclusion of Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, fairly high up in the ingredients lists, since it can improve skin elasticity and skin's barrier function. You also sometimes see Niacinamide in whitening products, too, because it can also help with skin discolouration. There are also some plant extracts (Grapefruit, Meadowsweet, Cocoa), which I'm pretty indifferent to - some people's skin can be irritated by plant extracts, but some are fine with it, and depending on your skin type you might like or dislike them. Interesting too is the inclusion of Yoghurt as an ingredient, and I'm honestly not sure what it does - perhaps it's a substrate or a source of carbohydrates for the yeast. I'd welcome anyone who can shed light on this!
The Face Shop SMIM Fermentation Concentrate Treatment: With lots of yeast, this treatment feels lightweight and hydrating
So after looking at the ingredients lists, you would expect a light-textured product that sinks into the skin pretty fast, judging by the choice of humectants and emollients. And indeed, I found that this had a light, watery texture, that also absorbs fast without leaving any residue on my skin. This was quite similar to a lot of Japanese-brand face lotions that have been popular lately, and I think for good reason - it feels pretty moisturizing without being heavy, and in this hot and humid climate, lightweight products tend to be pretty popular.
Next, we take a look at the SMIM Fermentation Concentrate Toner. You'll see some similarity between the ingredients in the Toner and in the Concentrate Treatment, owing to the use of the same humectants, emollients, preservatives and other functional ingredients.
The Face Shop SMIM Fermentation Concentrate Special Set uses some similar functional ingredients across all 3 products
It's primarily composed of Water and humectants (Glycerin, Propanediol, Butylene Glycol, Biosaccharide Gum-1, Sodium Hyaluronate) and has some emollient properties (Methyl-Gluceth-20), as you might expect a toner to be. But the ingredients list looks pretty long (for a toner anyway) because there are a bunch of other functional ingredients in there like slip agents (Dipropylene Glycol), thickeners (Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer), pH adjusters (Triethanolamine), preservatives (1,2-Hexanediol) and the like. Of course, Yeast Ferment Extract and Yoghurt also make an appearance, and the same plant extracts are there too (Grapefruit, Cocoa), although Fuscoporia Obliqua Sclerotium Extract is also new (it's basically a type of mushroom). Interesting here is the inclusion of Algin, which we don't see in the Concentrate Treatment. Algin is a brown algae, and in cosmetics, these can be used variably as thickeners, emulsifiers, or humectants, and Beta-Glucan, a form of sugar that could have anti-inflammatory properties.
The Face Shop SMIM Fermentation Concentrate Toner: Water, humectants, and some emollients with a watery texture
As you might expect with a toner, this is light, water, absorbs fast, and doesn't leave behind any residue. Like the other SMIM Fermentation Concentrate products, this has a sweet, citrus-herbal kind of scent that isn't too cloying and is very pleasant. The scent dissipates pretty fast across all the products, so it didn't bother me.
The Face Shop SMIM Fermentation Concentrate Emulsion: A moisturizer that is lightweight and leaves only very slight residue
Lastly, we move on to the SMIM Fermentation Concentrate Emulsion. Again, some of the ingredients are similar across the SMIM range. The product has water, humectants (Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Sodium Hyaluronate), emollients (Triethylhexanoin, Hydrogenated Polydecene, Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides), and also has emulsifiers (Betaine, PEG 5 Glyceryl Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate SE), film formers (Glyceryl Polymethacrylate), thickeners (Behenyl Alcohol), and other functional ingredients. Again, Yeast Ferment Extract and Yoghurt also make an appearance, as do plant extracts are there too (Grapefruit, Nutmeg, Meadowsweet, Mushroom, Cocoa), although Fuscoporia Obliqua Sclerotium Extract is also new (it's basically a type of mushroom). Some of the functional ingredients are also familiar, like slip agents (Dipropylene Glycol), thickeners (Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer), emulsifiers (Polysorbate 80), pH adjusters (Triethanolamine), preservatives (1,2-Hexanediol) and so on.
As with most of the SMIM Fermentation Concentrate line, the humectants, emollients and other ingredients chosen generally are quite light and pleasant-feeling, so you would expect this to be also a fairly lightweight moisturizer. And yes, this is a light, gel-textured moisturizer that does indeed feel light on the skin. It does leave behind a slight residue on the skin (it doesn't sink in totally and disappear), but it doesn't feel too oily or sticky. While it's lightweight, it does help to moisturize the skin.
The Face Shop SMIM Fermentation Concentrate Special Set: With some unique ingredients, a good texture, and a nice sensible packaging, this is worth checking out
So all in all, would I recommend this? I'd say that overall, this is a set of products that do indeed contain significant amounts of Yeast Ferment Extract, particularly in the SMIM Fermentation Concentrate Treatment, where it is the first ingredient on the list, which could provide anti-inflammatory and wound-healing benefits. The entire range is formulated to moisturize the skin with humectants and emollients, and also to do so while being lightweight and non-greasy on the skin, and there are also some good ingredients that stand out as good to the skin, or interesting because you don't see them that commonly in skincare products (Niacinamide, Algin, Beta-Glucan, Yoghurt), making the product different from other similar offerings on the market. If you think that a skincare with yeast interests you, and you are looking for a set of products that hydrates without feeling heavy or oily on the skin, this is a good choice. And as a Christmas gift, these are pretty great too. These look presentable, with a really pretty Christmassy box, and the size of the products is generous, and the products are interesting enough to sustain the attention of a skincare lover.
Recommended?
Yes, for lightweight hydration 8/10 9/10 8/10 8/10
The Bottom Line: The SMIM Fermentation Concentrate Treatment has meaningful amounts of yeast, is formulated to moisturize without feeling heavy, and has some interesting ingredients that set it apart from its competitors.

Sounds interesting. Even if yeast doesn't actually do anything major, the other ingredients are still pretty credible. In what order would you use each of these?
@MizzJ: That's a good question! Since the ingredients across the 3 products are fairly similar, I would apply the general rule of thumb of applying from the thinnest to the thickest-textured product. So in this case, it would be the toner, then the treatment, then the emulsion. Hope this helps! :)

Awww...this is a good gift idea this Christmas. These are great products and it has a very Christmas packaging. Love it!

Thanks for the review! Right now I just have the toner and that's expensive enough, but I love it. You're completely right about the smell, it's very pleasant.

Football Rookie Cards Rookie

Dan Marino Rookie Card Info
When collectors talk about Dan Marino's rookie card they are usually talking about his 1984 Topps #123 card, but that isn't the only Dan Marino rookie. Marino appeared on two other cards in the regular 1984 Topps set and he was also in a Topps insert set. Topps included Marino in its annual sticker set and there are a host of other oddball rookies. These include discs, postcards, and odd-shaped regional issues. One of my favorites is a rare issue that was released in 1983, predating all of his other rookies.
1984 Topps Dan Marino- The Best Dan Marino Rookie
1984 Topps Dan Marino #123
The 1984 Topps Dan Marino Rookie Card, #123, is Dan Marino's most valuable rookie card and one of the most sought-after football cards of the 1980s. This rookie card was included in the regular-issue 1984 Topps set and could be found in packs, rack packs, or acquired by purchasing the full factory set. It's not the only Dan Marino card in the set, but it is the most valuable because it's his regular solo card and not part of a subset.
Dan Marino was picked 27th in the 1983 NFL draft by the Miami Dolphins and he made an immediate impact in the league. He started by throwing an impressive 20 touchdown passes in his rookie season, but it was he second year when it became clear he was different. Not only did he lead the league in touchdown passes in 1984, but he completely smashed the long-standing single season record by throwing 48 touchdown passes. He continued to dominate the league statistically throughout the mid 1980s and played at a high level until his retirement in 1999. When he decided to step away from the NFL, he had rewritten the record book and owned nearly every major lifetime passing record. He was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 2005 and is considered one of the best passers in NFL history.
Any rookie card of a Hall of Fame quarterback is sought after by collectors, but there are additional factors that make the Dan Marino rookie card even more valuable:
Pioneer of the Passing Era: Dan Marino will forever be remembered as the quarterback who ushered the NFL into the passing era. In 1984 Dan Marino threw for an NFL record of 48 touchdowns smashing the previous record of 36 set by Y.A. Tittle in 1963. In 15 seasons before 1984, only three times did the league leader in TD passes reach 30. In the next 15 years, the league leader threw for at least 30 touchdowns 13 times. Marino's arm transformed the NFL into the passing league that it is today.
Greatest QB to Never: Most great quarterbacks in NFL history won championship rings, but unfortunately Dan Marino's supporting cast was never strong enough for him to win the Super Bowl. He made it to the Super Bowl in 1984, but the Dolphins were no match for the 49ers. As future great quarterbacks try to earn their first ring there will inevitably be discussions about the greatest players who failed to do so. For this reason, Dan Marino is likely to be mentioned long into the future for being one of the greatest QBs to never lead a championship team.
Post-Career Visibility: Some players fade into the background after their careers are over while others remain stars. Dan Marino falls into the latter category because of all the activities of his post-playing career. In addition to working as an NFL analyst, Marino owned a NASCAR team, started an autism foundation, appeared in movies (Ace Ventura: Pet Detective), TV shows (The Simpsons), and Music Videos (Only Wanna Be with You by Hootie and the Blowfish). These are just a few examples of how Marino stayed relevant in pop culture. Card values are partially driven by popularity, and these types of appearances help new collectors remain interested in retired players.
1984 Topps Set Details
The 1984 Topps Football set is very popular, largely because of all the great rookie cards it contains. It is made up of 396 cards that are grouped by team. Within each team, the players are ordered alphabetically with a team leader card at the beginning of the grouping. Some players have an "Instant Replay" in-action card that follows directly after their solo card.
As I mentioned above, this set is loaded with rookie cards of star players — several of whom are in the NFL Hall of Fame. It includes rookie cards for Hall of Famers Dan Marino (#123), John Elway (#63), Howie Long (#111), Eric Dickerson (#280), Darrell Green (#380), and Andre Tippett (#143). It also includes rookies for Pro Bowlers Roger Craig (#353) and Dave Kreig (#195).
This set would have been even more loaded if the USFL had not signed Reggie White, Steve Young, Jim Kelly and Herschel Walker. All four of those players have 1984 rookie cards, but they are found in the 1984 Topps USFL set.

Other Relevant Dan Marino Cards
The 1984 Topps Dan Marino rookie card (#123) is Marino's most famous rookie, but it's just one of many Dan Marino cards that can be considered Dan Marino rookies. Topps made several other Dan Marino cards and stickers in 1984. There are also several oddball cards (and a disc), which is typical for this era. Two of these oddball cards were produced in 1983, making them the first Dan Marino cards ever made.
1979-83 Coral-Lee Dan Marino Postcards
Coral-Lee postcards were produced between 1979 and 1983. There were 28 postcards in this set, two of which feature Dan Marino. One of them is an in-action photo and the other is a photo of him speaking with coach Don Shula. Sometimes there is ambiguity about when these postcards were made, however, with the two Dan Marino postcards there is no question they were made in 1983 since he was in college at Pittsburgh before that. These are the first cards featuring Dan Marino that were ever produced, but they are not trading cards. This makes them rare and valuable collectibles.

1984 Topps Instant Replay Dan Marino #124
The 1984 Topps Instant Replay Dan Marino card is a second rookie card for Marino in this set. Instant Replay subset cards are sprinkled throughout the set. The photo shows Marino dropping back for a pass in a road game against the San Francisco 49ers. Pro Bowl linebacker Jack "Hacksaw" Reynolds can be seen in the picture trying to defend the play.
This card is a much less expensive Marino rookie than his #123 single card.

1984 Topps "1983 NFL Passing Leaders"
The 1984 Topps "1983 NFL Passing Leaders" card is another card from the 1984 Topps football set that is a Dan Marino rookie card. This card is less valuable than the #123 and #124 cards because it is a subset card that contains another player. It's a great Marino rookie option for value-minded collectors.

1984 Topps Glossy Dan Marino #6
The 1984 Topps Glossy Dan Marino is an insert card that could only be obtained by purchasing a rack pack. Rack packs contained 54 cards in a hanging cellophane package with cards separated into three 18-card sections. The front and back card from each section was visible and the glossy insert was always the front card in the top section. This insert set featured only 11 cards.

The 1984 7-Eleven Dan Marino disc is from a set of 40 discs that use lenticular technology. This allows the picture on the front of the card to change based on the viewing angle. This technique was sometimes used to create "action," but this set uses the technology to flip back and forth between a headshot and a photo of Marino throwing a pass.

This rare set of 1984 Dolphins cards was printed to be handed out by police in the Miami area. The front of the card has a photo of Marino dropping back to throw a pass inside of a white, teal, and orange border and the back of the card has a safety tip targeted to kids. This Marino rookie card strikes me as undervalued and may be a good investment opportunity for collectors.

1984 Topps Sticker Dan Marino #222
The 1984 Topps Dan Marino Sticker #222 is another Topps issue that can be considered a Dan Marino rookie. The photo shows Dan Marino taking a practice snap. We can tell it's a practice snap because guard Roy Foster can be seen to Marino's right without a helmet on. This sticker can be quite expensive in high-grade condition.

The 1984 Topps Foil All-Pro sticker featuring Dan Marino is another sticker from this set that can be considered a Dan Marino rookie. Marino takes up the right half of this sticker with three-time All-Pro safety Nolan Cromwell on the other. While still carrying some value, this is a less expensive Marino sticker rookie than his solo sticker.

Dan Marino's Legacy
Dan Marino is perhaps the best pure passing quarterback in NFL history and usually ranks in the top-10 lists of greatest quarterbacks of all time. He burst onto the scene in 1983 and led the Miami Dolphins to Super Bowl XIX in 1984 after throwing 48 touchdowns during the regular season. The Dolphins lost to the San Francisco 49ers and never surrounded Marino with enough talent to make it back, which makes Marino one of the best signal-callers to never win the big game.
Despite his lack of a Super Bowl ring, Marino went on to accomplish incredible feats in football. He was a fixture in the AFC playoffs and Pro Bowl games for the majority of his career. He held nearly every significant passing record at the time of his retirement including all-time marks for passing yards and touchdown passes. Although most of those records have since been broken, the numbers he put up in the mid-1980s were unheard of and helped to shepherd the NFL into the passing-centric league it is today. Here are just some of Dan Marino's career accomplishments:
6 time Passes Completed leader
5 time Passing Yards leader
3 time Passing TDs leader
1 time Passer Rating leader
4 time Passing Yards per Game leader
2 time Passing TD % leader
8 time Pro Bowl
3 time All-Pro (1984, 1985, 1986)
Bert Bell Award Winner (1984)
AP Offensive Player of the Year (1984)
1984 NFL MVP
1994 PFWA Comeback Player of the Year
1998 Walter Payton Man of the Year

In the battle of man vs. nature, the former is constantly using design and innovation to combat adverse conditions and weather that remains beyond their control. For example, take the idea of retaining walls, which are structures that have been designed proactively to restrain soil in areas where there are undesirable, unnatural or pronounced slopes.
Retaining walls have historically been used in countries with a large diversity of mountainous terrain, which poses natural threats such as extreme flooding or landslides, so private and public bodies are required to invest in designs that can help combat these. The installation and construction of retaining walls is a key element of this battle and one that's always subjected to innovative ideas. As a result of their inherent stability, retaining walls are also used in countries that are less geographically diverse.
Moreover, they may be used in efforts to prevent flooding and the shattering impact it has on homes and businesses. If you consider how heavy rainfall can flood rivers and create unstoppable surges of water, it stands to reason that areas below ground level or along descending slopes will be at considerable risk of devastation. By building retaining walls in key locations, it's possible to safeguard those in threatened areas. When the walls are integrated and reinforced with steel, they can go a long way in protecting people and structures.
From dredging services and dock systems to retaining walls, floating docks and sea walls, our team at Renegar Construction can help with any project in the Lake Norman area of North Carolina. Contact us today for more information.

BOTOX® can dramatically reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles in most patients. Schedule a consultation to learn more.
Botox® Cosmetic is a proven winner, and the number one Botox® treatments are usually for forehead lines, "crow's feet" and glabellar lines or creases between the brows.
After a consultation we will inject Botox® into the muscles of the area undergoing treatment, so they can relax. No anesthesia is needed, and if there is any discomfort it is minimal and brief. The entire process takes less than 10 minutes, and results are seen in 7-10 days.
Botox® cosmetic lasts for approximately 3-4 months. Some patients return at about 3-4 months while some patients wait longer. All treatments are individualized for the patient. The most common side effect is pain at the injection site.

Disease in natural ecosystems of Australia caused by the introduced plant pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi is listed as a key threatening process under the Commonwealth's Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). The Act requires the Commonwealth Government to prepare and implement a threat abatement plan for nationally coordinated action to mitigate the harm caused by P. cinnamomi to Australian species, particularly threatened flora, fauna and ecological communities. The National Threat Abatement Plan for Dieback Caused by the Root-Rot Fungus Phytophthora cinnamomi (Threat Abatement Plan) was released in 2001 (Environment Australia 2001).
