Diet sodas (also diet, sugar-free, or light soft drinks, refreshments, or carbonated beverages) are sugar-free, artificially sweetened, non-alcoholic carbonated beverages generally marketed towards health-conscious people, diabetics, athletes, and other people who want to lose weight or stay fit.
Diet Rite is the non-aspartame diet soda brand with the highest sales today; it uses a combination of sucralose and acesulfame potassium.
By 2002, some soda companies had diversified to include such flavors as vanilla and lemon among their products, and diet sodas were soon begun to be produced with those flavors too (see Diet Vanilla Coke, Diet Pepsi Vanilla).
Diet Pepsi is a low-calorie carbonated cola.It was introduced in 1964.
Additional variations of Diet Pepsi have been introduced over the years, wherein other flavors (such as wild cherry, vanilla, lemon, and lime) have been added to the cola; their availability and brand identification vary by country.
Other commercials feature Diet Pepsi (the can) as an entertainer, represented by "agent" Jay Mohr, in a music video produced by Diddy ("Brown and Bubbly"), and an action film featuring Jackie Chan (Diet Pepsi is replaced by a "stunt double", a rival Diet Coke can, which is squashed by the villains).
Last year, regular soda accounted for nearly 73 percent of sales, but that was down nearly 2 percent from the year before, Sicher said.
But even if the growth of diet soda doesn't go as far as Sicher predicts, at the moment it's the only segment of the soda industry that is growing, and that has forced companies to rethink how they handle it.
The shift to diet is being felt across the industry, including by the many small regional soda companies.
Diet sodas contain phosphoric acid that can leach calcium from the bones if it is not neutralized with dairy products.
Diet sodas may stimulate appetite and increase the cravings for other sweets foods.
The bottom line is that for most diet soda in moderation is not dangerous but it should not be considered a "health drink." Diet soda should definitely not replace milk during the years bones are developing.
Today, instead of diet soda news, I've decided to fill your minds with random factoids courtesy of Gullibleinfo.
According to this web site, "The Cult of Diet Coke is strong and lavishly devoted, making their beverage of choice the undisputed leader in diet sodas for the last two decades and the third-most popular soda in the Untied States, trailing only Coca-Cola and Pepsi.
"Diet Coke is asked for, by name, in contract riders from a wide variety of artists, ranging from Michael W. Smith to Nine Inch Nails.
The new laboratory study, conducted by researchers from theUniversity of Iowa, evaluated the erosive potential of five acidic beverages on enamel and root surfaces of extracted tooth samples.For this evaluation, the extracted teeth were coated with fingernailpolish, and small "windows" (1 x 4 millimeters) of enamel or rootsurface were left exposed for microscopic analysis.
It is recommend altering or limiting the intake of soda and sports drinks and choosing water or low fat milk instead, to preserve tooth enamel and ultimately protect teeth from decay.
Soda consumed at meal times is less injurious than when consumed alone and continuous sipping is more harmful than the whole drink taken at one time.
Major soft drink companies had initially eschewed diet sodas for fear of injuring their existing business in sugary drinks, but by the early 1960s the diet drink market had grown sufficiently large that they could no longer ignore it.
Agreeing that the name of their new diet soda should be short and easy to remember, Coca-Cola had one of their IBM mainframes programmed to spit out a list of about 250,000 names using three- and four-letter combinations.
Diet soda may be fizzing with trouble for your waistline.
The study showed, the more diet soda you drink, the more likely you are to have or develop a weight problem.
Diet experts say the best way to quench your thirst is to drink water.
It found that the more diet soda a person drinks, the greater the chance that he or she will become overweight or obese.
On average, for each diet soda a person drank each day, they were 65 percent more likely to become overweight during the next seven to eight years, and 41 percent more likely to become obese.
It could be that people switched to diet pop after they had already begun to gain weight, in hopes of slowing their weight gain, Fowler said.
Fowler is quick to note that a study of this kind does not prove that diet soda causes obesity.
In a diet, artificial sweeteners are considered "free foods." The sugar substitutes don't count as a carbohydrate, a fat, or any other exchange.
"If you substitute a diet soda for a sugar soda, you save 100 calories, but if you eat 15 sugar-free cookies [which have calories] instead of two regular cookies, you may not be helping yourself at all," she says.
Many medical professionals and health activists loudly proclaim that aspartame sweetener in diet sodas causes symptoms that mimic, or accentuate Parkinson's disease.
By means of star endorsements and in-movie placements, soda corporates have been spectacularly effective in getting us all to swallow their artificially colored, artificially flavored water.
From then on, the slimmed down star was a prime candidate for the diet sodas introduced around 1984.
By itself, diet soda cannot be blamed for weight gain; however, various contributing factors may play a role.
And while the tongue is temporarily satisfied by the sweet taste of diet soda, the brain isn't similarly fooled and still craves calories for energy.
Therefore, with diet soft drinks and sugar-sweetened beverages (even fruit juices) linked to weight gain and obesity, many people are left wondering, "What is safe to drink?" The answer, of course, is water.
Diet soda is OK in moderation as with just about anything else these days.
Keep in mind that canned/bottled diet sodas are sweetened with aspartame (NutraSweet), which is controversial in some circles.
The good news is that the sodium content of almost all diet sodas has been reduced over the past few years, so that you rarely find a can of diet soda that has more than 70 mg.
As CBS 2 Medical Editor Mary Ann Childers reports, new research suggests that if you sip on diet sodas to stay slim, you may be in for a big surprise.
Americans are drinking billions of dollars worth of diet soda every year.
Experts say no matter what type of soda you drink, the key to maintaining a healthy weight is to exercise and eat in moderation.
I Love Diet Soda: They're Baaack!
Folks, that means no Diet Coke, no Diet Pepsi and definitely no Diet Dr. Pepper for me today.
I could jump for joy because Coke is coming out with glass bottles of Coke, Diet Coke and Coke Zero.
I don't know about you but diet soda tastes even better in a bottle to me! What is it about the glass bottle that makes the drink taste so great?
Fowler exclaimed that there is a 41 percent increased risk of being overweight or obese for each can or bottle of diet soda drank each day while a sugar-filled soda only increased the risk by a little more than 30 percent.
Fowler even admits that this does not prove diet sodas necessarily cause obesity, but said the common factor among those studied was diet soda consumption.
Diet soft drinks are merely a tool in an effective weight loss strategy if you need them.
There is nothing wrong with having a few diet sodas dispersed throughout the day.
At the University of California, Davis I was involved in reasearch regarding the effects of organochlorine molecules in cellular transport and its effect on NK, cell-mutation and interference with interleukin activity in mammalian systems.
Diet soda is not especially bad from a bodybuiling perspective, which is what you were asking about.
Kay-Koola - Soda, Cream Soda, Root Beer, Diet Soda and more.
Our sodas are offered in 12-ounce clear glass bottles, and made with pure cane sugar (not corn syrup) and Artesian spring water.
All flavors come in Regular and Diet; Root Beer and Cream Soda are also available for a draft system.
Our diet soda is made with ingredients that will have you guessing whether it's diet or regular soda.
By Ruth Kava, Ph.D., R.D. Diet sodas, which have no or very few calories, should be a boon to the overweight in their attempts to lose excess pounds.
The answer might lie in the report, rather than in biology, and is a great example of the drawbacks of presenting preliminary reports (those which have not been peer-reviewed) to the public.
Although switching from a full-calorie soda to an equal amount of diet soda will lower calorie intake, such a change is only part of the story.
If you have found a test tube, open the Mentos and place as many as possible inside the tube, making sure that they can easily slide out when the tube is tipped over.
When the carbon dioxide is pumped into the soda, water molecules cling to the gas and create tiny bubbles of gas in the liquid.
Try to use DIET soda (or any other carbonated beverage that does NOT contain sugar), otherwise you'll be running for the shower!
Either diet or regular soda will work for this experiment, but diet soda is less sticky when you're cleaning it up!
The goal is to drop all of the Mentos into the bottle of soda at the same time (which is trickier than it looks).
The thing that makes soda bubbly is invisible carbon dioxide gas, which is pumped into bottles at the bottling factory using tons of pressure.
I usually tend to use diet sprite with white or light cake mixes and diet coke with the chocolate cake mixes.
Diet sprite and spice cake is the bomb!
12 ounces of soda tends to make the cake very moist and 10 ounces is a little dryer.
Jul 19, 2005 11:52:49 AM Hi, I just read your article on how Diet soda can be bad for you.
Mar 1, 2006 10:55:33 PM I was drinking diet soda for about a year and it did help me to take off at least 10 pounds.

Last year, regular soda accounted for nearly 73% of sales, but that was down nearly 2% from the year before, Sicher said.
He also thinks diet sales will spur overall growth in the soda industry, which slumped at less than 1% last year.
If not for the growth in diet soda, that would have been closer to 10%.

Description of a process of clustering of some 450 issues identified in the Brundtland Report, Agenda 21, and in sectoral declarations (see checklist). The coding procedure is described elsewhere.
The initial objective was to devise a means of comparative processing of sectoral declarations in order to clarify the positions of agreement and disagreement amongst sectors on the range of Earth Summit issues. To this end a range of declarations relevant to the UNCED process were collected (see checklist). On inspection it was decided that they did not readily lend themselves to a detailed comparative analysis. There were two principal reasons. Firstly, the documents were of a variety of forms which would have complicated any attempt at comparison -- a number were not in fact "declarations". Secondly, the time and resources finally available did not permit any detailed review.
In the light of the work on strategic dilemmas described in the Figure 1 . The range of issues was then extended by incorporating the broader problems registered in the Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential (1991) since these had been derived directly from documents of international organizations and ordered into hierarchies and networks, thus clarifying a number of terminological issues. This facilitated nesting of issues in terms of broader and narrower concepts.
The revised checklist was then matched against the chapter headings of Agenda 21 and against the issues recognized in individual declarations. The documents processed are described in the following document (see checklist).
The coding and final form of these tables were achieved as the result of a number of iterations.
It is important to recognize that no issue indicates the complete range of sources citing it.
The comments below relate to the coding of issues identified in the documents described elsewhere with a view to their presentation in tabular form.
1. It is important to recognize that any form of classification can never be politically neutral. Classification is a political act. Many classification systems have in-built biases against either developmental or environmental sensitivity, or both. How issue complexes and agenda topics get clustered and ordered is not a trivial matter without consequence for the sustainability of policies.
2. It is important to review how general topics get regrouped into clusters, whether for major reports (like the Brundtland Report), in agendas (like Agenda 21), or in specific declarations and policy statements. The question is how clusters "break-out" of more general topic continua.
3. The difficulty in clustering and coding is much more at the general level than at the specific level. Much work has been done at the specific level where hierarchies of topics are relatively uncontroversial. Little work has been done at the general level where clustering tends to be somewhat simplistic.
4. In any clustering exercise, there is a challenge in distinguishing (or weighting) attributions to primary, as opposed to secondary, clusters. Distortions in the allocation of issues to primary clusters in the checklist (Figure 9) are corrected by the codes which indicate relationship to other clusters.
5. There is a continuing challenge in the ambiguity of the significance of words conventionally used to label issue complexes. Some labels for agenda items are deliberately designed to obfuscate. The intended scope of a label may vary according to the political faction referring to it.
6. Some issue complexes are more clearly understood in terms of the "problems" with which they are commonly identified rather than through the strategies or "solutions" via which they are approached. In such cases the problem statements are often at a more general level than the solution statements.
7. In clustering in terms of generality and specificity, there is a challenge in shifting significance to more general or to more specific clusters.
8. It is useful to review the coding exercise in the light of the metaphors of "chemical valency" or of "genetic codes." Thus issues may usefully be seen as having as many "valencies" as there are codes attached to them (eg an issue complex coded PER is therefore 3-valent; more complex issues may be 5-valent). In the case of the second metaphor, just as there is an appropriate genetic code governing the sustainability of living organisms, it could be argued that there is an appropriate "genetic code" governing the sustainability of social structures.
9. In any coding/clustering process there is a balance to be struck between imposing order and responding sensitively to variations. This may be seen as a balance between the need for restraint and the need for freedom.
10. It is useful to perceive the issues of sustainable development as implicit in the challenge of producing a sustainable classification. What may seem credible in the short-term in the light of immediately obvious requirements may be far less appropriate in the light of broader and longer-term issues.
11. The coding process needs to be sensitive to conflicting perceptions, whether in terms of "problems" as opposed to "solutions", or in terms of "reality" vs "vision". These variants are all required to capture the challenge of sustainable development. Stressing one at the expense of another does not meet the needs of all involved.
12. The coding/clustering challenge may be seen as akin to that of designing a 3-dimensional crossword puzzle (involving features reminiscent of a good computer game such as TETRIS).
13. The identification of clusters appropriate to the dimensions of sustainable development corresponds in many respects to the division of governmental responsibilities into ministerial portfolios and government departments. Any clustering of issues and strategies should be challenged by the divisions of governmental responsibility -- and vice versa.

PayPal's New Small Business Loans
by Mercator Advisory Group
MasterCard has announced plans to assess undisclosed fees on "staged" U.S. digital-wallet operators, such as PayPal, Square, Intuit's Go Payment and Google Wallet, that serve between the card and the user and thus don't provide the network with sufficient transaction data. They may avoid the fee by taking part in a new registration process that requires them to implement revised data-sharing and transparency rules.
From NFC World, citing MasterCard:
"The digital wallet operator registration program is needed to "ensure the integrity of our brand/network as new ways of working with the network continue to evolve."
Visa says it will not impose a similar fee.
However, Visa's CEO, Charlie Scharf, contends assessing fees on staged digital wallets is "totally appropriate to do."
This is both a market-power and brand play on MasterCard's part. The lack of transparency often makes it difficult to support credit card rewards tied to meeting certain shopping criteria such as buying groceries to earn extra frequent flier miles during a special promotional period, for example. But MasterCard also is upset because such wallets may not display its brand properly, even though the network's cards fund a number of their transactions. As such, the digital-wallet operator fee, which takes effect in July, helps to counter the lost benefit of brand exposure as well.

If you want to do something for the environment without giving up the convenience of having a car, try these eco friendly driving tips.
Regardless of how often you drive your car, it is worth being conscious of its possible environmental impact and the ways in which you might be able to do your part to lower your carbon footprint.
The bigger, more powerful car you drive, the more emissions and fuel you use. It's as simple as that.
If you want to be a more eco-friendly driver, maybe it's time to consider downsizing from that SUV. If you live in an urban area it is unlikely that you actually truly need to be driving around in a gas-guzzling Four Wheel Drive.
Be honest with yourself, how often do you actually need the features of a bigger, more powerful car? If it's not often, maybe you should downsize.
Not only will it save you money but you'll be doing your part for the environment. Just because you don't have a 4WD doesn't mean you still can't get off the beaten track every now and then. Why not just hire one? Hiring as you need it, is the more fuel-efficient option.
Carrying unnecessary weight in your car increases fuel consumption. Roof racks and spoilers increase wind resistance and fuel consumption in some cases by more than 20 percent.
Before you invest in a car with roof racks consider how often you will actually use them. If it is less than a few times a year, it could be worth simply borrowing or renting a car with roof racks instead.
You'd be surprised how different the fuel consumption can be between cars that seem otherwise very similar. Comparing fuel consumption is relatively easy with the Green Vehicle Guide. This publishes star ratings and fuel consumption information on greenhouse and air pollution emissions for new models in Australia.
By paying closer attention to the traffic you can avoid unnecessarily stopping and starting. The more you keep rolling in traffic, the less fuel you'll use. City fuel use is often higher than highway use not because of the slower speed, but due to all that stopping and starting in traffic.
The extreme weather conditions in Queensland mean that air-conditioning is sometimes necessary for your comfort and wellbeing. However, before automatically turning on the air-conditioning when you get in the car, consider whether you really need it.
Air conditioning can increase fuel use by up to 10 percent. The only time it may be a better option than open windows is when driving over 80km/h. In this case, the open window can increase wind resistance which will cause the car to use more fuel in order to move forward.
Allowing an engine to idle wastes fuel. Switch off the engine, even if you are only parking for a short while. This saves more fuel than simply resting your engine. It is mostly old habits that cause people to idle their cars, mistakenly thinking they need to warm up. Modern cars do not need to idle to warm up, they will do so while driving.
Before you jump in your car every single day, consider alternative options. Walking or cycling can be a great alternative to short car trips. It's not only good for the environment it also great for your health and you'll save money too.

I was eight years old when I found out what alcoholism was. My best friend would always be at my house for dinner or just to be away from home because her mom would be passed out from being intoxicated. My best friend would have to care for herself and sometimes after our game we would have to give her a ride home because her mother wouldn 't show up. I watched my best friend go through this for year until her mother went to AA meeting. Her mother has now been sober for years and is a completely different person that I once knew. This is why going to a AA meeting was where I choice to go for my group paper.
The AA meeting was at the Episcopal Church of Nativity in Fort Oglethorpe. I went with two other classmates because I was really nervous to go alone. Walking into the meeting I felt the same way. I was extremely nervous so I can 't imagine how an individual with alcoholism as a problem must feel. I have hear about what goes on in AA meeting from my friend but still I was nervous. As soon as we got there we introduced our selves and talk to the leader of the group. We tried to get some information about the history of when thee AA meeting started there but they weren 't sure. All they new was that it started at a Tri state hospital many years back and then they found themselves at Episcopal Church of Nativity. No one in the group really knew much of the group history.
...sion pills working for him he just stop taking them and just drank. This young man has been sober for over a year now. I loved how he said he loves waking up sober and not having to worry about the alcohol being an obstacle in his life. He said looking back to that alcoholic him is like watching a movie and he believes that the person wants to want the change. You can 't change because someone ask you too.
Although a lot of people were telling their stories and participating their was also some who just wanted to listen and were not ready to speak about their stories. Also I noticed there was a couple their who was talking the whole time and on their cellphones. Which at first I thought that was kind of rude but I also know see that being their in the first place takes a lot for someone to do. I really enjoyed being at the AA meeting and hearing different stories.

US Airways Group (NYSE:LCC) and AMR Corp., parent company of American Airlines, are close to completing an $11 billion merger and could announce a deal within a week.
Reuters reported Monday that the two airlines ironed out differences on valuation and management structure. A merger would create the world's largest carrier.
The deal, which is still being finalized, would put current US Airways chief executive Doug Parker at the helm of the newly-formed airline, Reuters said citing sources. AMR chief Tom Horton would serve as non-executive chairman until spring of 2014, when the new company holds its first board meeting.
AMR filed for bankruptcy in November 2011, after the mergers of Delta-Northwest (NYSE:DAL) and United-Continental (NYSE:UAL).
Reuters also reported that the all-stock merger would give AMR creditors 72% ownership in the new carrier, while US Airways would get the remaining stake. The news report said the board of each airline is likely to vote on the proposed deal around Wednesday, although negotiations are still ongoing.
What Would an AMR-US Airways Merger Mean for the Industry?
AMR and US Airways did not immediately respond to requests for comment from FOX Business.
If US Airways and AMR complete the merger, the combined airline would have an expected value of between $10.5 billion and $11 billion, compared to Delta's market capitalization of $12.4 billion and United Continental's $8.7 billion.
Shares of US Airways were up 4 cents, or 0.27%, to $14.79 Monday morning.

New York City - Human Rights First today released a new report detailing the slow progress the Obama Administration has made in the first six months of FY 2016 toward its goal of resettling at least 10,000 Syrian refugees by September 30, 2016. The State Department today released its official resettlement numbers for March, indicating that it resettled 330 Syrian refugees last month, bringing the six-month total to 1,285 Syrian refugees. The report includes recommendations for the Obama Administration to address the backlogs hampering the resettlement system, and calls on the U.S. government to demonstrate global leadership by significantly increasing its commitments to support front-line states by resettling significantly more Syrian refugees during the next fiscal year.
"These low arrival numbers should serve as a wake up call to the U.S. government. The dismal progress so far toward reaching its resettlement goals is undermining the ability of the United States to lead by example," said Human Rights First's Eleanor Acer. "The United States has the capacity and security processes in place to resettle far beyond 10,000 Syrian refugees. We urge the administration to intensify efforts to address the backlogs and bottlenecks hampering the resettlement system and demonstrate the strong leadership this crisis demands by significantly increasing the U.S. resettlement commitment for fiscal year 2017."
The Human Rights First's report, "At Least 10,000" outlines how U.S. processing of resettlement cases, as well as processing of Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) applications from individuals who worked with the U.S. military, has been hampered by bottlenecks, backlogs, and staffing gaps, making it difficult for the United States to meet its minimal commitment to resettle 10,000 Syrian refugees. Addressing these backlogs, as detailed in the report, would not undermine the security of the process; rather it would strengthen the integrity of the process which includes extensive security vetting as outlined in an appendix to the report.
The U.S. pledge to resettle at least 10,000 Syrian refugees this fiscal year amounts to only about 2 percent of the 480,000 Syrian refugees in need of resettlement, and just 0.2 percent of the overall Syrian refugee population of 4.8 million in the region around Syria. The large majority of these refugees have fled to neighboring states including Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey, straining these countries infrastructures and threatening regional stability.
National security experts have explained that increased U.S. resettlement of Syrian refugees would protect the stability of important U.S. allies in the region, as detailed in Human Rights First's February report, "The Syrian Refugee Crisis and the Need for U.S. Leadership." A December 2015 letter from a bipartisan group of 20 former U.S. national security advisors, CIA directors, secretaries of state, defense, and homeland security confirms that Syrian refugees are vetted more intensively than any other traveler to the United States.
Human Rights First continues to urge the United States to lead a comprehensive global effort to address the global refugee crisis. In order to effectively lead, to press other states to do more, and to advance U.S. national security and foreign policy interests, the U.S. government should:
Work with other donor states to fully meet humanitarian appeals and significantly increase U.S. humanitarian aid and development investments in frontline refugee hosting states;
Champion the protection of the rights of refugees, including their right to work, access education, and cross borders in order to escape persecution;
Address staffing and efficiency gaps to reduce backlogs and bottlenecks that hamper U.S. resettlement and SIV initiatives - including through Department of Homeland Security (DHS) staff to address backlogs in "no decision" cases awaiting review, and resources for DHS and security vetting agencies to conduct vetting follow-up;
Substantially increase the U.S. resettlement commitment. For fiscal year 2017, the U.S. government should, in addition to resettling refugees from other countries, aim to resettle 100,000 Syrian refugees, a commitment more commensurate with both the American tradition of leadership and U.S. national security interests; and
Appoint a high-level assistant to the president charged with refugee protection.
A bipartisan group of former humanitarian and national security officials has recommended that the United States resettle 100,000 Syrian refugees, and the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom has also recommended that the United States resettle 100,000 vulnerable Syrian refugees.
"The United States must be ready to lead in advance of hosting the high-level refugee summit during the U.N. General Assembly in September. There is still time for the United States to tackle these backlogs and meet its goals given the number of cases already far along in the U.S. resettlement "pipeline." Leading a substantial global effort to provide significantly increased resettlement and assistance for Syria's refugees is not only a humanitarian imperative, but also advances the national security interests of the United States and its allies in the Middle East and Europe," added Acer.

Long queues and organised chaos - my experience of getting the Covid booster at a Grimsby walk-in vaccination site
The jab itself went smoothly
As the Omicron variant of Coronavirus is now reportedly in North East Lincolnshire, I think it is more important than ever that we all get our jabs. Whether that be our first, our second or our boosters.
Following Boris Johnson's announcement on December 12, the public is urged to help in the fight against the virus by taking sensible measures when out in public and to get the necessary vaccinations.
He announced that everyone over 18 will be offered a Covid booster jab to help the fight against Omicron which is more transmissible. This led to the Government's vaccination booking website crashing and long queues at walk-in centres as people rush for their booster.
Read more about Coronavirus in your area here
It has also created a logistical issue for those running the centres and the volunteers following the Prime Minister's announcement as they try and get as many vaccinated as they can by the end of the month.
Having already got my booster jab booked, I felt like I was doing exactly what I should be, which is always good to know.
My appointment was arranged for 10.35am at Centre4 in Grimsby.

First cases of Omicron Covid reported in North East Lincolnshire
Long queues and more pressure - how clinics are coping with the Covid booster demand in North East Lincolnshire
Making my way over to the building just after 10am, I noticed there was a rather large queue forming outside the door already.
Whilst it restored my confidence in the public to see people coming for their vaccination, I did wonder why the queue was so long. After a while, things started to make more sense.
I got to the back of the line at 10.25, but after about 15 minutes I realised that there was not a huge amount of movement.
The queue at the Centre4 walk-in vaccination centre
Many others around me were uttering the same lines like, "why is this taking so long?" and "Are we even in the right place?"
For some, the waiting was too much and after 20 minutes of being stood out in the cold, they decided to leave it and went home without not having their jab.
Not the best start, but I plodded on regardless.
After a further five minutes, I overheard someone saying that there were supposed to be two different queues, one for appointments and one for walk-ins.
While it's great to see people getting vaccinated, more could be done to make it a smoother process (Image: Grimsby Live)
However, none of us were aware of this, which is what had led to the really long queue.
Slowly, I got closer and closer to a flimsy bit of paper flapping about in the wind that was stuck to a chalkboard sign.
After squinting and waiting until I was right in front of it, I finally saw that there were indeed supposed to be two separate queues.
Sadly, no one was following them because the only thing to tell us about them was on the sign at the front.
After getting in the building, one of the receptionists went outside to explain the situation to those stood out in the cold, but it was too late by that point as the queue had just kept growing and growing.
Inside the vaccination centre
When I made it into the hall I was impressed with the operation.
Chairs were well apart for social distancing and there were a number of stewards providing a great deal of help to those of us who had no idea where we were meant to be going.
The speed at which people were being called through was brilliant and they even had a gentleman checking on people after they'd had their jab; asking us to sit for ten minutes before leaving.
So, here I am, triple jabbed if you like.
While I'm glad I got vaccinated, it did feel link organised chaos at times.
It shows the immense pressure clinics are facing as they do their best to meet the new demand for boosters in a short timeframe.
I have had no immediate side effects from having the jab - just a numb arm which is the same with any vaccination.

Commedia dell'Arte by Misha Lenn
Commedia dell'Arte porcelain collection was presented by Misha Lenn and Imperial Porcelain Factory on November, 22. Misha Lenn is an internationally acclaimed and award-winning artist. His unique painting style is recognized worldwide, and it got its significant part in international and Russian cultural space.
Year 2019 is going to be the Year of the Theatre in Russia, thus presentation of the Commedia dell'Arte porcelain collection is such a great start of the theatre festivities. It is illustrated by the world-known charming characters of Italian Commedia dell'Arte.
Commedia dell'Arte has a long history originated in the streets and market places of the early Italian Renaissance. The Italian street performers wore masks with exaggerated comic features. These actors formed into traveling troupes touring from city to city. The companies generally included about ten actors—seven men and three women. The actors worked without scripts, following only written scenarios which outlined the action. They would tailor the show to the particular audience of the place where they were performing. Players made their performances accessible to all social classes removing language as a barrier through the use of skillful mime techniques.
Commedia dell'arte performances were a unique combination of set and impromptu elements. The general outline, the characters and their relationships, as well as the outcome of the situation were all decided before the performance began, using stock characters and tried and true plots. The actors were required to show their talents in filling out the remaining details of the story and keep the attention of the audience. This required Commedia dell'Arte performers to be skilled at surprise, clarity, and wit. The actors chose their words carefully to produce the desired effect making the audience laugh or cry. The best of them imbued their roles with individuality, freshness, and brilliance!
Arlecchino, also known as Harlequin, typically acrobatic and mischievous, he is one of the zanni. He is a servant, and is recognizable by the colorful diamond-shaped patches that traditionally were part of his costume. Arlecchino is often the servant to Pantalone, or sometimes to Il Dottore. He is in love with Colombina, but she only makes fun of him at the plays. He can often have a close relationship with the audience, involving them in the action or gesturing to them.
There are 13 characters all together presented in the collection of Misha Lenn: Pierrot, Pantallone, Corralina, il Dottore, Brighella, il Capitano, Isabella, Coviello and other understandable characters with traditional identifiable masks. Commedia dell'Arte performers were mixing up with the guests in the gallery, a play directed by Misha Lenn was on stage.
The presentation was full of impromptu and surprise, including the demonstration of man's suit lining, that was newly designed by Misha Lenn especially tailored by Mister Sho, St.Petersburg.
Commedia dell'Arte appeal to the people without regard for language, nationality or social status, displaying the creativity and intelligence of humankind. The porcelain collection by Misha Lenn are not just the decoration objects, they are designed to beatify our life and they are sparkling with the creativity of the designer. Creativity is contagious!

When Did Health And Fertility Go Out Of Style? A Timeline Of Beauty Standards
By Molly Farinholt· Aug 12th 2020 · 6 min read
The "ideal" female body type has changed dramatically over time. Once upon a time, the full-bodied Venus was held up as the archetype of beauty. Today, society has reduced the "perfect" female figure to an unsustainable stick-thin, yet toned form.
Health was once equated with beauty, but now it's being disregarded.
A Look at Beauty Standards throughout History
At the beginning of human history, natural, biological instincts dictated beauty standards. The Venus of Willendorf, a statue from the Paleolithic Era, shows that health and the ability to bear children were the main criteria for being considered beautiful. This Venus boasts ample breasts and hips, along with a full stomach — all signifying that she was well-nourished and in good health.
The Ancient Greeks earnestly sought to define the perfect human body. Statues show us that, while men were expected to be chiseled and athletic, women were considered attractive when they possessed fuller figures. Similar to the Venus of Willendorf — though on a more realistic scale — the ideal woman in Ancient Greece had large hips, full breasts, and a stomach undefined by the abdominal muscles. Aphrodite, the goddess of love and fertility who was held up as the epitome of feminine beauty, was always depicted in possession of these traits.
Paintings from the Italian Renaissance show that the standards remained consistent with (and were, in fact, influenced by) those of Ancient Greece. Women were portrayed with plentiful body fat and wide hips, as this was synonymous with health, wealth, and fertility. One can see these attributes in Botticelli's iconic painting The Birth of Venus.
Such ideals continued throughout the early 1900s when the "Gibson Girl" (a collection of illustrations done by artist Charles Dana Gibson) epitomized the ideal feminine figure with height, a voluptuous bust, and wide hips. Actress and model Evelyn Nesbit brought the famous illustrations to life and led many American women to desire such a form.
The 1920s witnessed a drastic change. Flappers brought into vogue a boyish figure — small breasts, a lack of curves, and short hair. This physicality reflected the shifting attitude of women at the time. No longer did women seek to be considered "prim and proper." Instead, they liberated themselves from such expectations and took to the speakeasies where rebellion took many different forms. To achieve this thinner, androgynous look — exemplified by actress Louise Brooks — women began to exercise more vigorously and eat far less. Full-length mirrors and bathroom scales became prevalent, aiding females in this endeavor.
Following the Great Depression, the full figure made a comeback. Women no longer wanted to look really thin, and the increasingly popular Hollywood films glorified an hourglass figure. Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly became the paragons of beauty and normalized a healthy BMI for women. During the 1950s, the average BMI was 23.6, which falls within the healthy weight range for women (18.5-24.9).
When another female rebellion occurred in the 1960s, the trend shifted back towards that of the flapper era. Once again, thinness became all the rage. Supermodel Twiggy, who weighed in at only 112 pounds, replaced Monroe and Kelly as the standard of feminine beauty. This shift likely occurred in large part due to the Sexual Revolution which normalized casual sex. No longer was sex reserved for procreation within a marriage. Fertility, therefore, went out of style.
The 1970s ushered in even greater unhealthy standards for women. Anorexia nervosa became widespread as diet pills became widely available and public figures like singer Karen Carpenter subscribed to starvation diets. Fitness became more and more important to women, leading to the aerobics craze (leg warmers and all) of the '80s. During that decade, 60% of Playboy magazine models weighed 15% less than the healthy average. Sadly, this movement towards near-impossible ideals for the female body has continued.
Biological Reasons Are No Longer a Factor in Beauty Ideals
Why have we strayed so far from the standards of Ancient Greece? According to art historian Dr. Adelina Modesti, ideas of beauty are both biologically and culturally driven. She notes that representations of the human body have "changed dramatically across different artistic periods" but that, throughout that change, "beauty has never traditionally been about being slim."
"I don't think there was ever really a society that valorized thinness." Until now.
If you're looking at art, Modesti adds, "I don't think there was ever really a society that valorized thinness. It was always to do with the notion of being healthy and a woman's beauty reflected her ability to bear children — so thinness would not have been acceptable."
Today, however, people are far less concerned with fertility and, therefore, with women's health (as fertility is often a sure sign of a woman's health). People now report pleasure as the main reason for engaging in sexual activity. Thus, biology is no longer necessarily driving attraction. Whereas beauty used to have a solid basis in nature, it's now dictated by the whims of society. Pop-culture and the media now exercise greater control over what's considered "in style" for women's bodies.
Magazines, TV shows, and films all push the thin ideal, encouraging women to manipulate their bodies into something that goes against nature. A recent study shows that 85% of American women were dissatisfied with their current body and desired to be thinner. On average, women in the U.S. spend 12 hours in the gym every week. In 2017, 17.5 million surgical cosmetic procedures (such as tummy tucks and liposuction) were performed on women. It's estimated that 20 million American women are struggling or have struggled with an eating disorder. Such illnesses harm the fertility of women, making it difficult and sometimes even impossible to conceive and bear children.
Today, women are obsessed with thigh gaps and defined stomachs because society has told us that these contrived standards are what make a woman beautiful and desirable. Health and fertility are neglected in favor of shedding pounds and fitting into a size two.
Why Women Should Embrace Their Naturally Feminine Bodies
It's time that women reclaimed the narrative of beauty and, with it, our health. Instead of going along with a culture that tells us that we should eat less and exercise more so as to achieve a figure that has been arbitrarily deemed attractive, we should work to shift the focus back to true health. A woman's body naturally carries more fat than a man's. Society has portrayed this as a negative while, in fact, this extra fat enables women's bodies to carry out natural functions such as reproduction.
Today's beauty standards put women at greater health risks (such as osteoporosis and infertility) and, therefore, rob women of their true feminine power. Women need not neglect exercise and a healthy diet. We shouldn't, though, feel as if we need to take either to the extreme so as to harmfully alter our bodies to fit society's skewed descriptions of beauty. Health is beautiful. Natural is beautiful. Embracing the way in which we were created is beautiful. The female body as it was intended to be is beautiful.


Especially industries burning coal, oil or waste, share the responsibility to monitor their mercury emissions. All measuring techniques need to be able to tackle the challenges mercury monitoring presents.
First of all, mercury is occurring in various forms, including elemental mercury and mercury compounds, as well as mercury that is bound to dust particles. Flue gas includes elemental mercury Hg0 and oxidized mercury Hg2+ in the form of HgCl2.
Most continuous mercury measurement methods are based on measuring elemental mercury. This means that the oxidized mercury compounds must be converted to elemental mercury before the measurement. It has to be made sure that none of the mercury compounds are lost before the conversion, and also that there is no recombination of mercury compounds afterwards.
Secondly, the mercury concentrations are really low compared to other gas compounds. The concentrations are generally few µg/m3 in waste incineration and power plants. These extremely low concentrations naturally require that the measurement technique has low detection limits.
With this in mind, it should be noted that depending on the application and plant, there can also be relatively high concentration peaks from time to time. Because of that the measuring system has to be able to withstand and detect those peaks as reliably as the lower concentrations.
Other features expected from mercury monitoring systems are low cross-sensitivity of the system and stable calibration check routines. Cross-interference effects need to be minimized especially as the mercury concentrations are very low compared to other gases in the stack gas. The quality of the measurements can be tested with frequent calibrations and checks. Check routines are preferred to be automatic and adjustable by the user if needed.
Especially with CVAF (cold vapor atomic fluorescence), the high sensitivity and selectivity of the fluorescence technique ensures that extremely low mercury levels can be measured accurately. Low detection limit of CVAF also enables diluting the stack gas. With dilution, cross-interference effects from other gases like SO2 and O2 can be eliminated.
Continuous monitoring is a particular advantage where abatement systems can be adjusted according to the mercury levels in the plant emissions. Where flue gas treatment is used to achieve lower mercury emissions, continuous monitoring data can be used for example to optimize sorbent injection rates.
Non-continuous methods do not provide sufficient insight for process control. In addition, by measuring process emissions over a short period of time, non-continuous methods risk failing to provide sufficient information on the variability of mercury emissions over time and between differing feedstocks.
Gasmet's CMM has successfully completed the EN15267-3 testing with the world's lowest EN15267 certified range (0 to 5 µg/m3) for measurements of mercury. This new world record makes our CMM future-proof for declining emission limits. Read more about our CMM system and CVAF technology here.

This Is Why PTSD Is Way More Widespread Than You Thought
November 14, 2018 Psychology, Social Issues,
This is episode 2 in a very important series on PTSD from MedCircle. Clinical and forensic psychologist, Cheryl Arutt, talks about the underlying components behind PTSD, explains how it is more prevalent than most people think, and discusses some of the long-term consequences of living with post-traumatic stress disorder.
Most people think that PTSD is something that only soldiers get after returning from war, but war veterans only account for about 20 percent of all PTSD cases. The disorder affects two times as many women as men — most of whom are survivors of sexual violence.
Here are some highlights from episode 2:
"PTSD is something where your fight or flight system gets disconnected from the present, and you forget how to tell when you're safe."
"The kinds of things that create lasting post-traumatic symptoms tend to be traumas that are of human design. And what that means is that if you have a trauma like a plane crash, an earthquake, a tidal wave — something like that that is seen as kind of a natural disaster — number one, it doesn't feel like someone made a decision to do this to you; and number two, you tend to have others who went through it, too, with you. So there's more social support, you're not being blamed for causing the earthquake or the hurricane or whatever it was. ...
"But the kind of trauma that causes the worst trauma symptoms — both in men and women — is traumas where someone made a decision to hurt you. And this is sexual assault, sexual abuse, torture, being a victim of a violent crime — where someone has made a choice to hurt another human being. That tends to be the kind of thing that creates the biggest symptoms. And women, unfortunately, are more likely to be victims of sexual abuse and sexual trauma, which causes the highest rates of PTSD of all of the different kinds of traumas, because it's so personal and vulnerable."
Regarding what makes a person more prone to experiencing PTSD:
"People who have a past history of depression or anxiety, or if they've had prior traumas, it can make it worse, you can be more vulnerable. How the first person you tell about a trauma like sexual assault or sexual abuse responds to you is an enormous predictor of how much trauma you're going to have. ... It makes a big difference how people respond."

Why pay for music, road trips, and food when you don't have to?
Everybody loves getting something free. There's a certain excitement to knowing you had to do little (or no) work to receive free samples, books, or music. But you might be wondering how to get free things all the time.
Our freebie deals are a great place to start, and tend to be some of the most popular on the site. They include everything from tasty treats to beauty products to epic birthday freebies. And if you're affiliated with military, you can score military discounts and freebies, too. To help you find even more awesome deals at no charge, we've rounded up 17 things you can always get for free.
A reminder: Freebies tend to come with a catch. They might not be exactly what you want, or they might require giving up some personal information in order to redeem the offer.
If you're an Amazon Prime member, you're in luck. Prime members have access to over 2 million songs on Prime Music, and can listen to individual songs and whole albums. To include these tracks in your library, sign in to your account from the link we provided, and look for songs and albums featuring a button with a plus sign — the button could also be followed by "add."
Amazon Prime members have access to over 2 million songs on Prime Music.
Not a Prime member? We also see a variety of music and MP3 download deals, including deeply discounted memberships to premium streaming services. If you don't want to pay anything and don't mind ads, of course you can always streaming services for free, such as Spotify and Pandora. And bands themselves have been known to release their music through select outlets for free.
A free trial is a good way to test a service before you go all in. With the recent Amazon Prime price increase, snagging a free month is even more appealing now.
Beyond the free 30-day Prime trial, Amazon has been known to extend a customer's Prime subscription by an extra month. This is typically given as compensation for packages arriving late or similar circumstances. Members must speak to customer service to receive this perk.
Be careful, though — Amazon has grown wise to some members abusing this benefit. It seems to be handing out free months less readily now, and it's even been accused of canceling the subscriptions of customers who ask about the perk too much. Keep that in mind when your order shows up a day late — the risk might not be worth the potential reward.
Free apps are widely available, whether you prefer iOS or Android. Check the respective app stores, and you'll find plenty of games and productivity titles to try. While using totally free apps can mean dealing with annoying ads, developers sometimes temporarily offer the premium versions for free.
Plenty of discounted magazine subscriptions are available, but you can find free issues as well! Google Play offers a small selection of titles for free for Android users, while Amazon offers free issues every month with Prime Reading. You can also get a free month of Kindle Magazines. After that, you can cancel, or pay for a subscription and have selected titles delivered to your Kindle.
Clearly, the easiest place to get free books is your local library. If you prefer eBooks, odds are you can check out titles without leaving your home. Many libraries offer apps for checking out eBooks or audiobooks, and you can use them as long as you're a member.
Many libraries offer apps for checking out eBooks or audiobooks.
We also often list deals for free eBooks here on DealNews. You can also download free book apps for iOS or Android. Project Gutenberg is another website where you can snag free eBooks — it's especially great for the classics, as it contains public domain titles. And don't forget about Prime memberships! Prime Reading features a variety of popular titles you can read, too.
If you prefer the physical feel of a book, there are a couple of ways to add free paperbacks to your personal library. Do you have titles you're willing to part with? Sites like PaperBackSwap and BookMooch are good ways to trade your titles with fellow bookworms.
The library is good for more than just books. While you're there browsing the latest best sellers, swing by the movie section. Additionally, Prime members have access to a ton of content, including movies, TV shows, and Prime Originals.
Free screenings are a possibility, too, as larger studios will try to drum up hype for a film by showing it early for free. Don't discount family-friendly events, either. During the summer, many cities schedule movies in the park or other public spaces on a weekly basis.
If you're interested in seeing the country but don't want to put high mileage on your own vehicle or rent a car, there are actually people who will trust you to drive their car for them.
Sites like Auto Driveaway provide a great place to start. People who are moving long distances and don't want to haul or drive their own vehicles need others to do it for them. That's where you — and Auto Driveaway — come in! Once you arrive at your destination, you can do it all again and drive a car back, or you can opt for a cheap flight home. If you have the time, this can be a great way to take a vacation and see the open road.
First off, you can't be picky with free photo prints. The offers are usually restrictive when it comes to photo sizes or the number of prints you'll get. Even so, photo freebies can be a common find. In the past, we've seen deals from Vistaprint, Snapfish, Walgreens, CVS, and Shutterfly. Additionally, York Photo offers as many as 100 free prints for new customers.
We've seen photo freebie deals from Vistaprint, Snapfish, Walgreens, CVS, and Shutterfly.
There are even free photo print apps for both iOS and Android, which let users order up to 1,000 free 4x6 prints per year. Keep in mind that while the prints may be free, a small shipping charge is usually added to deals like these.
Many restaurants offer free kids meals with the purchase of one or two adult entrees, which can make dining out with the family more affordable. However, these promotions can be restricted to certain nights or other times of the week. Consider checking out a site like MyKidsEatFree.com to find participating restaurants in your area. But be aware that certain listings on the site are outdated. If you see an interesting offer, call ahead to ensure the details are correct.
Not a fan of kids? This site can also be a useful tool for deciding when not to go to a restaurant, if you're looking to avoid rowdy children at dinnertime.
Did you know May 15 is National Chocolate Chip Day? Or that the first Friday in June is National Donut Day? Food holidays are so ubiquitous that at this point, there's one practically every day. This often translates to restaurants offering freebies to celebrate. Not every holiday yields a deal, but popular ones give you the chance to snag tasty treats for free.

Your friends might be planning to treat you to dinner, drinks, or your favorite activity on your birthday. But you can also treat yourself, thanks to the multitude of businesses offering free stuff on your birthday. Our best tip is to look at our master list of birthday freebies and then plan to take advantage of as many offers as possible.
If you have time before your next trip, or just want to stock up on minis, you should check out our freebies page. We see offers on a variety of health and beauty samples that are perfect for travel. Target and Walmart can also be good places to check for free mini products.
Big brands commonly offer free samples to promote their new products.
Alternatively, you can keep an eye on your favorite brands to see if they're offering any free samples. Often, big brands do this to promote new products. Sites like SweetFreeStuff can make these searches easier, as they update offers frequently. Many of these promotions take four to eight weeks to arrive, though, so consider seeking out samples at drugstore counters and stores such as Sephora if you need them sooner.
Free shipping is so common that many shoppers expect it now. But not all retailers offer the perk — and when they do, there's often a minimum purchase requirement. If your favorite business is running a special deal, you might not be able to wait around for them to tack on free shipping. However, it can pay to wait for a discount. Popular vendors commonly offer shipping promotions around holidays.
This is something you may not think of until it's time to pack up your belongings. In a panic, those pristine boxes at U-Haul might seem like your only option. You don't have to spring for those expensive boxes, though. Craigslist and Freecycle can both be sources of free boxes, as can your own company or schools. Additionally, check with grocery, liquor, and bookstores to see if they have spare boxes they're willing to give up.
Babies can sometimes react badly to diapers, wipes, and skin products. Trying a small amount for free is a wonderful way to ensure an item works for your baby before you buy in bulk. Companies like The Honest Company provide free trials of diapers-and-wipes subscription boxes. And Walmart routinely offers a free baby welcome box. We've also seen plenty of offers for formula samples or even diapers for those willing to fill out a short form.
If you or someone you know is having trouble affording diapers, the National Diaper Bank Network is a good place to find help. You can check for resources in your area, including viewing member organizations by state.
As we've pointed out before, there are plenty of places to check your credit score and report for free. These are important financial features to keep an eye on, as applying for a loan or credit card will likely require a pull of your credit report. Plus, these checks are a good way to watch for identity theft and ensure no one is opening accounts in your name.
People often dispose of items that are still in great working order, simply because they want something new. If you don't mind used, look to Craigslist and Freecycle to find free goods.
Many people don't want to move items or deal with disposing of them properly, so sometimes treasures are as near as your neighbor's curb. Before you make an item your own, though, make sure it's worth it. You don't want to end up hauling away someone else's trash just because it's free.
Readers, what kind of items do you regularly get for free? Let us know in the comments below.
The 106 Best Birthday Freebies in 2018: Get Free Stuff Just for Showing Up!
I am currently having several free things. Free books, photos, shipping, credit score, etc. Good.
Saying you get free music from Amazon Prime is like saying you get free butter and syrup when you go to IHOP. They give you maple but will give you 3 additional flavors if you ask for them. The cost for free music and movies is built into the business model. Nothing on Amazon is free. Free"er" music can be found on YouTube if you can endure the commercials.
Great music is in the eye of the beholder. I'm not a personal fan of any of the artists you listed so I don't count them as "great." (Not even Enya..) I do have the extra paid Unlimited service because it is cheaper than XM and so I can stream the great Jazz and Blues thats on my 256 gb iPod Classic that I can't seem to put my hands on right now.
Oh yeah, The article forgot about free internet. That's at Starbucks.
You're correct, Prime isn't free. (But if you assume you're just paying for shipping, then the "perks" technically are.) And the problem with Prime Music is that you have to manually search the desktop app to find most of the best content. It's a hassle, but if you want your money's worth from this Prime "freebie," I strongly suggest taking that approach.
Here's a tiny sample of the great albums you can find with a little legwork: Kendrick Lamar's Pulitzer-winning "DAMN.", Janelle Monae's "ArchAndroid", NOFX's "Punk in Drublic", Against Me!'s "Reinventing Axl Rose", Taylor Swift's "1989", Lady Gaga's "Fame Monster", A Perfect Circle's "Mer de Noms"... there's even a ton of Enya, if you're into that.
The music on Amazon Prime is not free because you have to pay for Amazon Prime. Yes they have 2 million songs attached to prime but many of the songs you want to hear fall under their Unlimited plan which is an additional $8 a month. The 2 million freebies are often remakes by people you have never heard of (tribute bands) or songs you don't care to listen to.
There is no such thing as a free app. You pay for apps thru sacrificing your privacy which is ultimately a bigger payment than most people realize.
Please see point one about free video on Amazon. Its not free if you have to pay for Prime. Prime charges for many TV shows that Hulu includes with their package. Amazon has stuff for free one month and then charges you for the same exact content the next.

Vastseliina Castle (, , Russian: Novgorodok) was a castle of the Livonian Order, Bishopric of Dorpat. It was constructed by 1342 by the Landmeister Burkhard von Dreileben as part of the border fortifications of Old Livonia against Novgorod, Pskov and later Moscow.

Nowadays the ruins of the castle are located near Vastseliina (in Vana-Vastseliina village), Võru Parish, Võru County, Estonia.

Gambling history is extremely old and it has also been reinforced by many civilizations from historic times in various ways. The archeological evidence show the fact that caveman had been likewise a bettor. The archeological department has uncovered dice like item prepared from the bone of sheep or even dog. Cave drawings also proof that early on men had been involved in gambling. So gambling history is 40, 000 yrs . old. Chinese invented chance game utilizing tiles in 2300 BC and after 1100 years greek soldiers began actively playing dice games. At that time also gambling was illegal in Greece. In 1500 BC Egyptians used to play http://www.caledobook.com dice game. These people used ivory dices to play this game. Roman soldiers were likewise acknowledged for gambling for the ceremonial costume of Christ following his killing. Even the lawmakers from roman empire ordered that all children should know the art of tossing dices. Gambling grew to become so common among the troops that in 14 century king Henry VIII got this illegal as his soldiers used to expend most of the lime on gambling rather than improving upon their fighting abilities.
In the very beginning fortune tellers also used small objects such as pebbles, stick, nut or even arrows in order to forecast the future of the people. This can be likewise regarded as the start of gambling and gambling tools. Fortune tellers throw or take out any of these tiny objects to find out the number on them and if the number comes odd then the man or woman might get bad results and if the even numbers show up then the individual could easily get some good news. The individual getting bad news was asked to invest something so that his / her future can be properly secured. In this way the olden rituals also gave rise to wagering. In olden days individuals bet on animal for prey or upon beautiful female for matrimony reasons that was furthermore part of betting. And at last the real gambling stated when people utilised their own funds and properties for material gain only.
As time surpassed gambling grew to become more popular and in 1990's online casino gambling came into existence which has been legalized by the Caribbean government. The idea of on the net on line casino gave boom to the gambling market and the gambling industry went a step forward in its field. Numerous casino games are for sale to the players for their fun and earn. All the gambling game titles such as poker, cards, slots, craps and others happen to be related to gambling history. Today online gambling is actually banned in most of the nations around the world but foreign based gambling houses as well as casinos operate their own gambling business with freedom. This is because that the authorities of any country has no right to interfere in the businesses activities of some other countries.
The web based gambling is very different from original type of gambling which may be regarded by gambling history. It points the techniques of the games played out in different places and those performed on-line that differ a great deal. A person will even know the reasons behind the occurrence of on-line gambling from gambling heritage. Gambling history additionally tells that gambling is probably the earliest pursuits of humankind.
