Arenillas, es una localidad situada en la provincia de Burgos, comunidad autónoma de Castilla y León (España), comarca de Odra-Pisuerga, ayuntamiento de Villadiego. Bañado por el río Grande.

Datos generales
En 2022, contaba con 13 habitantes, situado 2,5 km al este de la capital del municipio, Villadiego, en la carretera BU-601, que atravesando Brullés y Coculina enlaza con la N-627 a la altura de La Nuez de Arriba, a orillas del río Brullés, junto a la localidad de Villalibado.

Situación administrativa
Entidad Local Menor siendo alcaldesa pedanea Leticia Lomas Vargas.

Historia
Con el inicio de la tecnología de los metales, en el Calcolítico, se va a producir una explosión demográfica que queda plasmada en el aumento del número de yacimientos arqueológicos y su impronta, ahora normalmente asociados a zonas ribereñas ligeramente destacadas de su entorno, sin fácil defensa pero con gran accesibilidad a recursos naturales. A través de algunas intervenciones arqueológicas de excavación se conocen enclaves de habitación asociados a los característicos "campos de hoyos" meseteños, como en el término de Cascajos. El yacimiento se sitúa en la zona de terrazas fluviales que han creado el río Brullés, que discurre a unos 380, y sus tributarios como el arroyo que nace en la fuente de la Ermita, a unos 340 metros del lugar. El asentamiento ocupa la terraza inferior, que presenta una ladera de perfil amesetado que desciende de forma escalonada y tendida hacía el río. El enclave fue excavado en 1989 al encontrarse en una gravera que amenazaba su integridad, y en él se documentaron cinco hoyos. En el término de La Zarzala, junto al río Grande, en una plataforma superior, aparecieron cerámica a mano muy fragmentada y restos de industria lítica elaborada en cuarcita y sílex.

En el término de Las Cruces existen indicios de un asentamiento romano (villae Altoimperial o Tardorromano).

En el término de Fuente La Ermita la tradición oral localiza una ermita junto a la fuente de cronología plenomedieval cristiano posible. Aquí se han localizado restos de cerámica y constructivos. En el término de La Iglesia la tradición oral ubica la aparición de varias tumbas de lajas. En este término los restos aparecidos datas cronologías posibles del Calcolítico y Pleno y Bajomedieval Cristiano. En el emplazamiento de Santervás y Loma de Valdeayón, entre el río Grande y el arroyo de Valdeayón, relacionado con el despoblado La Parte I / Cuesta de Valdeperondo, ubicado este último en el término de Tablada de Villadiego, en la cima del cerro, existen indicios de una necrópolis bajomedieval cristiana y de una ermita desaparecida.

La primera cita documental de Arenillas de Villadiego tras su fundación data de 1203.

Lugar que formaba parte de la Cuadrilla de Olmos en el partido de Villadiego, uno de los catorce que formaban la Intendencia de Burgos, durante el periodo comprendido entre 1785 y 1833, en el Censo de Floridablanca de 1787; jurisdicción de señorío siendo su titular el duque de Frías; alcalde pedáneo.

Antiguo municipio de Castilla la Vieja en el partido de Villadiego código INE- 09504.

En 1751 el Marqués de la Ensenada mandó hacer un Catastro con el objetivo de actualizar, unificar y también facilitar el cobro de los impuestos y para realizarlo se debía de responder a un amplio interrogatorio de cuarenta preguntas. Entre las respuestas del "Lugar de Arenillas xunto a Villadiego" se dice:

En el Censo de la matrícula catastral contaba con 34 hogares y 62 vecinos.

En el Diccionario Geográfico de Madoz de 1845-1850, aparte de los límites, lindes y otros datos, se dice del pueblo que tiene "38 casas de mala construcción, poco sólidas y sin ninguna comodidad, entre ellas la consistorial con pósito", también "un molino harinero en bastante mal estado y varios pozos de agua entre los que sobresale el conocido por el bueno a causa de sus abundantes y exquisitas aguas que aprovechan los vecinos para su consumo doméstico" y "el terreno es de mediana calidad, tiene una pequeña parte de viñedo y unos prados para pasto de ganados, produce trigo, cebada, avena, legumbres y vino solo para el abasto del pueblo" y la "población 34 vecinos, 127 almas".

En la actualidad Arenillas pertenece al municipio de Villadiego, (junto con 31 pueblos más) y al partido judicial y provincia de Burgos. Hasta 1969 era ayuntamiento propio junto con las actuales pedanías de Villahernando, Villaute y Villalibado (desde 1857) con sede en Arenillas y juzgado de Paz, contando en el momento de la incorporación conjuntamente las cuatro localidades con 97 vecinos y 391 habitantes. Como toda la comarca y la región, se encuentra en un grave proceso de despoblación (ahora hay solamente veinte habitantes censados y menos de diez viven durante todo el año, aumentando los fines de semana y en verano, sobre todo en agosto. Este proceso comenzó en la década de los años sesenta con la emigración principalmente hacia País Vasco, Madrid y Cataluña, problema que se ha agravado en la actualidad con el fallecimiento de los mayores sin relevo generacional.

Naturaleza y medio físico
Se encuentra situado Arenillas de Villadiego en el Noroeste de la cuenca del Duero, discurriendo por sus términos dos subafluentes de este río: el Brullés que nace en Fuencivil y desemboca en el Odra y el río Grande o Sosa que naciendo en Hormicedo se une al Brullés entre el pueblo y Villadiego. Las aguas de todos ellos vierten en el Pisuerga.

Estos ríos han erosionado las tierras modelándolas y eliminando parte de sus arcillas, gravas y arenas, (materiales de relleno del terciario) provocando un paisaje suave con escasas ondulaciones, prácticamente llano y dedicado casi en su totalidad, salvo algo de girasol o lino, al monocultivo de cereales de secano (trigo y cebada). Es muy escasa la vegetación arbórea salvo en las orillas de ambos ríos (álamos, sauces, chopos), sirviendo estas riberas fluviales de corredor faunístico y de hábitat de numerosas especies y rompiendo la monotonía del paisaje que la concentración parcelaria acentuó.

Los árboles frutales son poco abundantes, salvo algunos nogales, manzanos, ciruelos y perales. Tampoco hay muchas huertas, siendo más bien un pasatiempo para auto consumo familiar. Hasta hace unos cuarenta años había viñas en la localidad para la producción del "churro", el vino de la comarca, clarete de baja graduación y bastante acidez y que se consumía en casa durante el año.

La caza es otro de los recursos naturales de la comarca, sobre todo la de la perdiz, codorniz, conejos y liebres, y no es difícil de ver en la actualidad a los esquivos corzos si se pasea por el campo. Económicamente es muy importante ya que aparte del dinero del alquiler de los cotos también dinamiza la hostelería de la zona. Club Deportivo de Cazadores «El Cotorro» , coto de caza n.º 10.096. Su presidente 2008 es Gustavo Jorge Cuesta Carrera.

En las aguas de los ríos podemos pescar truchas y también bogas y barbos. En la década de los años setenta desaparecieron los cangrejos autóctonos debido a la afanomicosis, enfermedad producida por un hongo que portan tanto el cangrejo señal como el rojo, importados ambos de América del Norte y al que estas especies son inmunes.

El clima de la zona es continental, los inviernos son bastante largos y fríos, con temperaturas que bajan de cero fácilmente, (hasta -10 °C) y donde suele nevar y helar habitualmente. Los veranos son muy cortos y secos dándose grandes oscilaciones térmicas entre las horas de mediodía, muy calurosas (hasta 40 °C) y las de la tarde en que suele salir el "cierzo" que obliga a abrigarse y permite dormir bien. Dos son los factores que influyen en la rigurosidad de nuestro clima: la altitud, (unos 860 metros sobre el nivel del mar) lo que hace que el termómetro baje más que en otras zonas, y la cordillera cantábrica que provoca un clima con poca humedad y pluviosidad baja al impedir el paso a la influencia atlántica.

Patrimonio
 Iglesia de San Martín de Tours
La iglesia se encuentra situada en la zona más elevada del pueblo y está orientada hacia el este, es decir, hacia la salida del Sol. Está dedicada a San Martín de Tours que se celebra el 11 de noviembre y es la fiesta local.

En la administración eclesiástica depende de la parroquia de Villadiego en el Arcipestrazgo de Amaya, diócesis de Burgos.

Siendo la construcción del templo de finales del  o más probablemente de principios del siglo siguiente, ha sufrido varios añadidos y restauraciones posteriores, destacando su ábside románico (s. XII-XIII) que es de planta semicircular, con cuatro lienzos rematados con canecillos y separados por columnas adosadas al muro y rematadas con capiteles. Contiene el ábside tres ventanas decoradas con motivos geométricos, animales y vegetales, sobresaliendo un capitel con sirenas con dos colas y asidas por las manos. Su tímpano tiene forma de abanico. El tercer vano se encuentra en la zona del Campo Santo.

Los arcos de la portada son de un románico más tardío, con decoración de puntas y dientes de sierra y son bastante apuntados, lo que anuncia ya el gótico. El resto del edificio es posterior, seguramente del , al igual que los añadidos de sacristía (sacristía en un lateral de estilo popular del ) y pórtico, en donde se reutilizaron dos columnas apoyadas en un antepecho de piedra. Canecillos de factura sencilla.

Torre a los pies de la nave (). Otros añadidos populares en los laterales (siglos XIX-XX)

Estas reformas no rompen la armonía del edificio y podemos decir que, aunque el conjunto es algo frío y la decoración un poco tosca, es de buena sillería y tiene adecuadas proporciones entre la nave y el ábside que están bien unidos mediante dos columnas acodilladas. Encuadramos el templo dentro del románico tardío de la escuela de Villadiego, cuyo foco de influencia es la iglesia de Boada.

En cuanto a su interior, destaca la cabecera de forma semicircular recorrida por dos líneas de imposta que enmarcan las ventanas decoradas con temas geométricos, vegetales y de animales. El arco de triunfo situado delante del presbiterio es igualmente apuntado y con capiteles donde vemos de nuevo figuras zoomorfas y ovas muy estilizadas.

Respecto a los retablos destaca el mayor, que representa a San Martín a caballo entre San Pedro y San Pablo. Es de 1788 en estilo rococó y fue policromado en 1833, salvo el remate del Calvario que es anterior (del ). Los retablos laterales de San Miguel y del Niño Jesús son del año 1665 y fueron tallados por Toribio Fernández.

 Torreón
Realizado en sillares de caliza bien escuadrados, presenta planta cuadrada de aproximadamente 5 metros de lado. Tiene tres cuerpos El edificio se encuentra adosado a los muros que delimitan el patio de una casa señorial.

We have an exciting investment opportunity to announce today. Our team has been busy at work at a new condo project in Hamilton called the Dundurn Lofts and if you're in the market for your next condo investment, this is one is pretty special.
Tens of Thousands off Retail: This project is unlike anything we've seen in the Hamilton area and quality-wise, rivals some of the best we've seen across the local market. Our exclusive Condo Culture bulk deal on this project provides you with an opportunity to secure a unit before the upcoming public launch and save anywhere between $38,000 and $81,000 off the listed retail price depending on the unit size. Yes, you read that correctly. Our bulk deal incentives available before the public release are significant and provide investment value difficult to recreate at other projects throughout southern Ontario. Touch base with us by replying to this email or registering below and we'll send you a full price list with the incentives summarized for each unit.
(Very) Strong Rents: Units in the building achieve exceptional rents and are at or above luxury condo rental rates we are currently seeing in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. As an example, 1 Bedroom units in the building are achieving between $1550-$1850 and 2 bedroom units are achieving anywhere from $2000-$2700 per month. These rents are incredibly strong and make these units great investments with strong principal paydown each month. Don't get us wrong, we love the long-term investment value of new projects in K-W but as we all know diversity is key and if you're in the market, this opportunity represents a exceptional opportunity to diversify.
Location, Location, Location: Hamilton is an exciting city to invest in these days but to us this opportunity really stands out and offers something none of the other new condo projects in Hamilton can provide. The obvious differentiator is the building's location. The building is located steps to Hamilton's revered Locke Street and within one of the most coveted neighbourhoods in the City. However, that being said, what really gets us excited about the opportunity as an investment is the lack of quality luxury condo rentals in the immediate area and density restrictions along Locke. We believe these factors combined with the unique architecture of the building will limit competitive supply to the market and provide units at the Dundurn Lofts with a longstanding competitive advantage. People absolutely love this location and it keeps getting better by the day. Young professionals, empty nesters and young families are all attracted to the the area and the many amenities it offers. The building is also walking distance to the future LRT stop, McMaster Innovation Park, McMaster University, public transit and has arguably the best access in the city to Highway 403 for commuters travelling to and from Toronto and the rest of the GTA.
Amazing Common Spaces: The lobby and common elements in the building have just been completed and make this building one of the most attractive Hamilton has to offer. The finishes throughout the building have transformed the building and give it a feel that is more reminiscent of a high-end, luxury loft hotel than than your standard condominium. This makes us love the investment value at the project even more but if you think it looks nice in the video, wait until you check it out in person! Check out the video below and reply to this email to book a in-person tour of the building, available suites and location with a member of the Condo Culture investment team.
Opportunity to Purchase Below Market: Hamilton's condo market has experienced significant growth and strong appreciation. On a price per square foot basis, new condo projects in the city have been averaging anywhere between $580 and $700 per square foot. Units at the Dundurn Lofts being released prior to the public launch average below $500 per square foot when you consider all incentives resulting in significant savings when compared directly to units of similar size in other developments. To draw additional context to the comparison and help emphasize why we feel so strong about the Dundurn Lofts as an investment, we created an easy to read chart that compares the average price per square foot of each new project in the area relative to the buildings overall attractiveness in the market. This chart helps show the Dundurn Lofts exceptional investment value as not only being one of the most attractive buildings and locations in the city but also at one of the most attractive prices as well.
REGISTER NOW to receive a full price list and summary of all incentives.

Princess Cruises is joining UK sister company P&O Cruises in agreeing to build two large new generation ships.
The new 4,300-passenger vessels will be Princess Cruises' first to be dual-fuel powered – primarily by Liquefied Natural Gas to cut air emissions and marine gas oil.
The 175,000 gross ton new builds are due to be delivered in late 2023 and spring 2025.
The ships will be based on a next-generation platform "designed to further enhance an already world-class holiday experience".
They will be the largest by capacity in the US line's fleet and be built at Fincantieri's shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy.
The agreement for Princess Cruises' next-generation ships represents parent company Carnival Corporation's 10th and 11th LNG-powered vessels.
Specification details for the ship design, along with anticipated features and amenities of this new platform design for Princess Cruises, will be shared in the future, according to the company.
The line's president, Jan Swartz, said: "This revolutionary platform for next-generation, LNG-powered cruise ships will introduce innovative design and leisure experiences driven by the future holiday and lifestyle trends of our guests – further evolving the already best-in-class Princess Cruises experience we deliver today.
"We look forward to collaborating with Fincantieri to bring our vision for this next-generation premium cruise ship into service."
Fincantieri chief executive Giuseppe Bono added: "We are proud to extend our long-established partnership with Princess Cruises, a brand we have been tied to since our return to the cruise shipbuilding industry in 1990.
"After so many years, we are ready to enter, together, a new era of this industry, increasingly aimed at reducing even more of our environmental impact.
"We proudly do this with an all-time record project, both in terms of size and technology. We believe that there are no more significant milestones than these to reaffirm our market-leading position.
"This builds upon the solid partnership between our country and Carnival Corporation – the largest foreign investor in Italy – while at the same time building upon our technological strength and increasing employment."
Princess Cruises has three new Royal-class ships on order with Fincantieri, including its next new build, Sky Princess, which is due for delivery in October 2019. The two other Royal-class ships are planned to enter service in 2020 and 2022.

It was a long day of driving to get from Geocrab in the Hebrides to East Ayrshire, Scotland. I slept in the car for most of the drive (6 hours plus stops) but we made a special stop just for me! We stopped at the Glenfinnan Viaduct, which any Harry Potter fan is sure to recognize! We were even lucky enough to see the (Harry Potter) train cross the bridge! After we got back into the car to continue our drive we caught up with the train and even raced it for a minute!
We arrived at our Airbnb in Galston, a suburb of Glasgow, after dinner time. The house had a Wii (my favorite) which was a nice surprise. It also had a garden (backyard) to play football (soccer) and to play my brothers bagpipes. We still found it hard to find food but we managed. For some reason restaurants all seemed to be closed when we found ourselves hungry.
We walked around Newmilns to explore the town where my great grandfather on my moms side of the family was born. In fact, my dad was able to trace her side of the family to the area from the 1500s! We tried to do some research in the public library then wandered around trying to find the house where my great grandfather was born. Between construction and incomplete information we didn't find the specific house but did explore most of the town. We walked along a small river that ran through the town where my mom scattered some of her dad's ashes.
A short drive from Newmilns is Loudoun Hill, the tallest point in East Ayrshire. It was the scene to two separate battles for Scottish independence. William Wallace and Robert The Bruce both fought the English on the very land we explored! We hiked up the really steep side of the hill only to find a easy path on our way down. From the top you could see as far as the eye could see in all directions but it was super windy!
We also searched an old a local cemetery for the family names we found doing our ancestry research. We found one "Morton" but didn't know for sure if the person was related.
If you didn't know I love cities!! We had a long nice walk all around Glasgow!! We wandered around looking for a football stadium and found ourselves on the poor side of town by accident. It was interesting to see how people really lived. After lunch we found a nice shopping district which is were I bought a local soccer jersey and goalie jersey. Jerseys from the same Glasgow team (The Celtic Football Club) we got lost trying to find their stadium earlier in the day. Glasgow was so fun I would want to go there again would you?


VIP HOUSES began in 2003, with the aim to raise the standards of rental properties available to the Military Personnel of Mildenhall & Lakenheath USAF bases. With a Very high standard, We now have one of the largest selections of High Quality USAF specification properties in East Anglia and they are all in safe locations around the two USAF bases in Suffolk,UK.
They are all finished to a very high standard, many with a utility room and spacious kitchens to house a tumble fryer & large fridge freezer. Many have an en-suit off the master bed room as well as family bathroom. All have a garage to park your car safely or as much needed extra storage space for your boxes.


These are the steps to get a real estate agent. Decide what steps to take.
Meet the agents in their work environment, not in their offices. Good agents spend very little time at their desks.
Make sure the agent has closed many properties and has worked for some years. The real estate agent closes average only 1 or 2 houses per year. The more sales you have, means more experience.
A good place to meet agents is in the exhibits. Do not worry if you're not interested in a particular property. The agent knows that rarely exhibits encourage a buyer to buy that house in particular, use the exhibits as a tool to find buyers.
Another method is to contact an agent with a friend or family member has done business. If that agent has produced positive results for a friend, there is a good chance you will do the same for you.
Make sure your agent is online. Having an agent on the web is very important today as 85% of all home buyers initially come online. The big players have laptops, and often have moved to mobile technology to help. A real estate agent in the world today should send emails, text messages, and will be available for buyers and sellers alike.
Interview several agents. If you're looking for a buyer or seller agent. Remember, however, agents will tell you what you want to hear. Make sure you are not selling an alliance sleep … want to hire a realistic real estate agent. Do not sign an agreement form buyers before searching the property (you should feel free to build trust with a real estate agent after several hours of looking before you sign anything).
Look for signs that the agent is busy. A hardworking and ambitious agent is a good agent. Be careful, sometimes they are too busy. A real estate agent can only work effectively with about half a dozen buyers and sellers a dozen at any given time to give the necessary time to a buyer. If you happen to an "assistant", switch to another agent who will give their time.
It is important that your agent is knowledgeable. Ask him about the things you've learned through your new interest in real estate. If you do not know more than what you know, after all, this is their livelihood! Looking for a more experienced agent. Local knowledge is particularly critical, especially in urban environments.
It is important to have an excellent agent if you buy a house for the first time. They should have experience and be able to guide you through the complexities of the process of information including lender you have to provide. The loan process has become much more demanding and complex in 2016.
See how agent MLS listings up in searches. By listing on the market today, all ads from small to large professional photos must have – this is the first sign of a professional realtor who understands the market today.
Observe how much prestige the agent has to colleagues. You want to work with an agent that connects and works with other agents. Experienced players tend to know the other agents in the area and have a good working relationship with them. This tends to become good transactions.
Check references that an agent is able to offer. Ask the other realtors if they know who the other agent, and if you respect them as a real estate agent.
Ask your agent where he lives. An agent who lives and works at the local level will have its finger on the pulse of the market and will be able to answer important questions about the community. They should at least know the schools where they work. This is especially important in large cities.
Question "Can you recommend service providers who can help me in obtaining a mortgage, make repairs to my house, and I have done other things I need?" Note here a real estate agent should generally recommend more than one provider and not receive any compensation (ethical issues tend to arise when this happens).
Ask him if real estate agent full time. Is this your only job? You must demand a full – time agent.
Ask "How can I keep you informed about the progress of my transaction? How often? What means? " Again, this is not a question with a correct answer, but it reflects your wishes.

No silver bullet in sight for Enfield hit by sliding volume
The Eicher Motors stock fell 30 per cent in the past year.
The Bullet, it appears, is just not firing on all cylinders at the moment.
Royal Enfield (RE) sales are rather soft, and state-wise volume statistics furnished by industry body SIAM show that the bike that defines panache for motorcycle enthusiasts in India is riding through a rather rough patch. Eight states that make up three of every five RE bikes sold locally have reported deceleration.
Maharashtra and Karnataka together account for 13 per cent of RE volumes, and these two states have seen a drop in 6-7 quarters of the past nine.
Kerala, the largest market of RE, has witnessed volume drops of 13 per cent and 23 per cent in the September and December quarters, respectively. The September decline is attributed to floods. But declines in the December quarter have put the lens on underlying demand.
Industry volume growth of twowheelers in south India was 9.5 per cent in the first nine months, up from 5.6 per cent in the previous year. However, RE's sales volume growth in the Southern states has been underwhelming.
The RE management has given production guidance of 8.7-8.8 lakh units for the current fiscal year. However, it is unlikely to be met. Average monthly run-rate of RE in the first 11months of FY19 stood at 69,569 units. To achieve the stated guidance, the company needs to produce 1.04 lakh vehicles in March. This appears to be quite a daunting task given the weak demand cycle.
The Street is factoring in volume growth of 10 per cent for FY20, which could be trimmed due to about 3 per cent growth in FY19. The Eicher Motors stock fell 30 per cent in the past year following constant negative surprises on the volume front. The stock is trading at 21 times FY20 earnings, compared with the long-term average of 30 times.
Launch of Parallel Twin Engine of Enfield motorcycle
Royal Enfield has revealed the all-new Interceptor 650 and Continental 650 at the EICMA 2017 motorcycle show in Milan, Italy.Watch the recording of the Live Webtelecast from Milan, Italy.
These two new Enfield bikes are made to the highest specifications applicable in USA, Europe and Asia Pacific. They meet all the safety and quality standards matching the best anywhere on Earth. They meet the strictest emission rules. And the twin engine is ready to rock the highways and give you classic stride on your daily commute in the city.
Royal Enfield Interceptor is a 650cc parallel twin engine redesigned from the original 1960s Interceptor brand of Enfield. It is THE California Cool of motorcycles. Bright colours add to the summer of 69 memories of freedom, pleasure, beauty and rebellion.
The Cafe Racer culture was revived by Enfield with the Continental GT and now with the 650cc dual tone Continental GT you have a cafe racer to tour all the cafes in your state and across borders.
Really remarkable bikes and a huge step or rather a gigantic leap forward by Enfield Motorcycles. A Company making motorcycles since before Indian Motorcycles or Harley-Davidson motorcycles ever hit the road.
The chassis and engine are the same for Interceptor 650 and Continental 650. They weigh within 200 KGs. Lot of accessories tested and available. These bikes will launch first in Europe and then rollout globally. Expected date to hit the market is April 2018. The engine is oil and air cooled. Real fun bikes for everyday folks for everyday riding. Not huge bulky hogs and not speed demons. Just a motorcycle for the gentleman who takes pride in class and comfort.
Motorcycles on Three Wheels
The sidecar riding experience and how to do it
by Ujjwal Dey
Motorcycles are fun. And so is travelling long distances or touring on motorcycles. Many touring options are available for big bikes with big budgets. But suppose you are young and wild and free but on a limited budget, what do you do? Ask your friends and they will say a car trip ain't as much fun as being one with the road on a motorcycle. The environment, the atmosphere, the surroundings, it all hugs you, body and soul, when you tour on a motorcycle. So, here is an option hippies globally celebrate–Sidecars. A third wheel for your motorcycle. No more slippery roads for your two-wheeler. More luggage space. Bring more friends to the road trip party. Bring your dog too.
We recently covered the Ural Motorcycles phenomenon on www.BikernetTrikes.com and if that has inspired you but you are not sure about buying a whole Ural, well just buy a sidecar then. There are many companies including Ural itself, which sells Sidecars as an accessory for your existing motorcycle. So no, you don't have to switch loyalty or buy a new bike. Just buy the goodies to attach a sidecar to your Harley-Davidson or Triumph or Indian.

Jaguars — specters of the rainforests of Central and South America — are the apex predator in their home range. They are the largest feline to inhabit the Americas, and the third largest in the world behind the tiger and the lion. Though most cats are known for having an aversion to water, jaguars — like tigers — are an exception. Though jaguars can be found in other ecosystems, they are perfectly adapted to the rainforest, as comfortable in the water as they are on land.

Plow Through 72 Years Of Lamborghini Tractor History
4 Noviembre 2020 - motor1
The company had very humble beginnings in 1948.
Long before Lamborghini built the GT 400, the Italian company built something far more practical – tractors. The company's humble beginning building farm equipment is often lost among the attractive supercars and eye-popping performance numbers that came later, but Lamborghini Trattori continues operating today.
The company's tractors have evolved significantly since the first one in 1948, and the automaker has only continued to refine its farming products. A neat pictorial provided by Fleet Logging shows us how the tractor evolved over the years, highlighting the company's successes and changes. Let's check it out.
First Model (1948)
The first Lamborghini tractor didn't have a lot of Lamborghini in it. The company had to use discarded war materials while sourcing truck and military engines and differentials.
L33 (1951)
The company's scrappy beginnings didn't last long. In 1951, Lamborghini introduced the L33, the first tractor made entirely by Lamborghini. However, there was one caveat – the engine, a 3.5-liter inline-six, came from Morris.
DL 30 (1952)
The following year saw the introduction of a slew of new models, including the DL 30, which featured type DW415 MWM-Benz Diesel engines, a new front grille, and a smoother shape. The year also saw Italy pass a law incentivizing farmers to buy Italian-made agricultural equipment.
DL 25 C (1955)
A few years later, Lamborghini introduced its first crawler tractor, replacing the wheels with tracks. The tractor was available with either an MWM-sourced diesel or one from Lamborghini.
Lamborghinetta (1958)
The Lamborghinetta featured deleted headlights, a further design refinement, and a two-cylinder, 22-horsepower (16-kilowatt) Lamborghini engine. This came two years after Lamborghini opened a new tractor factory.
2R DT (1962)
The 1960s saw Lamborghini introduce air-cooled engines and four-wheel drive with the 2R DT. 1962 also saw Lamborghini begin building sports cars. The GT 400 came in 1962, with the Miura following in 1964.
R 230 (1966)
Lamborghini didn't make many changes to the R 230. It features a squished hood paired with a new grille design. Mechanically, it was the first Lamborghini tractor with a synchromesh gearbox as standard.
Lamborghini expanded its range of tractors in 1968, offering the high-powered R 480 model. The company further refined the design with sharper lines and a two-tier grille design.
R 684 DR F (1980)
Not much changed through the 1970s, with the 1980 model looking similar to its predecessors. The ninth Lamborghini tractor model featured a new grille design with the headlights located below it.
1306 DT (1983)
Three years later, the tent tractor model was out, bringing with it new technology, water-cooled modular engines, and more. The design saw the logo move to the grille with the square headlights relocated further down on the grille.
135 Formula (1989)
Lamborghini revised the styling for a taller cab while shrinking the front grille. This also saw the introduction of electronic fuel injection and electronic tractor controls.
Runner Series (1993)
In the 1990s, Lamborghini went small with its 12th tractor model and the Runner Series. It's a smaller tractor with a deleted grille designed for small-scale farming.
RF Series (2007)
Lamborghini continued making tractors, introducing the RF Series as its 13th tractor model. It features a smoother shape with a much more modern aesthetic.
CF Series (2010)
The company's CF Series saw the return of crawlers to the company's lineup of tractors.
Nitro Series (2013)
The Nitro Series is the company's most recent tractor. It saw the introduction of quad projector-type headlights, a taller cab, and a sharper nose. The new model helped the company win the 2014 Golden Tractor for Design award.

Anyone who thinks dog's life is hard has not known Magnus' everyday routine yet. He was born in July, 2012 and nowadays he stands out among the most famous dogs in Brazil, representing our brand in different situations.
Much more than a beloved friendly pet, this Bernese Mountain Dog has starred in advertising films next to Ana Maria Braga, he had an important role in the Fernando & Sorocaba double's clip (Song: Preto) and appeared even in Caras Magazine!
Versatile and very well connected, he has his own plush toys and he also has a great affinity with sports. He is a popular figure in Neto's and Milton Neves' sports programs. This charming dog is still the star of Magnus Futsal team and of the team's coat. Magnus is a true Brazilian canine celebrity!
And as any celebrity, he also makes presence in social events and visits, actions in kindergartens, nursing home, schools ... After all, he is a much loved popular dog!
If you are considering so much for just one dog, know you are absolutely right. For this reason, in fact, there are twelve Magnus dogs who take turns in all these commitments. Looking from the outside, they seem so similar, and that is the idea, but each of them stands out for his unique personality.


• Myogenic regulation of resistance arteries: Myogenic tone in arteries is an important component of blood flow regulation and also in determination of blood pressure of the circulation. Although Baylis first described the myogenic activity of blood vessels in 1902, I provided the first mechanistic insights for this phenomenon: for example, that myogenic tone was mediated by protein kinase C (J Pharmacol Exp Ther, 242: 566-572, 1986; Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm. 158: 58-62, 1989); that myogenic tone had a lower Ca2+ requirement than other forms of vascular tone (Circ. Res. 63: 669-672, 1988; J. Hypertension 7: 517-520, 1989); myogenic activity is highly reliant on conducted communications between cells in the media using gap junctions (Am. J. Physiol. 283:H177-H2186, 2002).
• Resistance artery dysregulation in disease: Our laboratory reported reduced myogenic tone in coronary transplant vascular disease results from two main causes: increased iNOS expression and apoptosis of smooth muscle cells. The functional change is increased hydrostatic pressure leading to increased vascular permeability (Starling Forces) and the clinical implication is increased ventricular stiffness, a leading cause of cardiac failure in transplantation (Circulation 101: 1303-1310, 2000).
• Lifestyle modification and Type 2 diabetes: We demonstrated for the first time that moderate levels of exercise (independent of weight changes) causes increased expression of anti-oxidant enzymes in diabetes, so increasing the bioavailability of nitric oxide, the endogenous vasodilator molecule and platelet anti-coagulant released by the endothelium (Diabetologia 51: 1327-1337; Am J Physiol 295: H1470-H1480; Am J Physiol 296: F700-F708, 2008; Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Arch Pharmacol 5: 483-492.). Other findings confirmed that detailed mechanisms of the benefits of exercise in the hearts of aged diabetic mice (Br J Pharmacol 171 (23): 5345-5360;PLoS ONE 8(8): e70248. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0070248). We have since provided a critical analysis of the challenges facing the creation of exercise pills (to assist those unable to undertake regular physical exercise (Trends Pharmacol Sci. 36(12):906-917).
• Vascular dysregulation in obstructive sleep apnea: Studying obstructive sleep apnea in small laboratory animals is complicated by a number of factors (as we discuss in Lung. 190(2):113-132) and a commonly used approach is to expose rodents to periods of intermittent hypoxia. We show that in this model of sleep apnea, there is endothelial function, likely related to increased oxidative stress (Sleep Med. 15(5):596-602).
• Reference work on free radical biology: "Systems Biology of Free Radicals and Antioxidants". Handbook of Pharmacology Edited by Ismail Laher. Published by Springer-Verlag. Five volumes and 182 chapters.


International high school students from more than one dozen different countries around the globe - Russia, Yemen, Liberia, Turkey, Armenia, Serbia, Pakistan, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Bangladesh, India, South Africa, and Ukraine - will attend PH International's one-week Youth Tech Camp at Burlington, Vermont's Champlain College, learning skills in new digital media, leadership, strategic media advocacy, and grassroots campaign-building.
The Youth Tech Camp, which runs from April 22-26 in Champlain College's Roger H. Perry Hall, is the culmination of a six-month Global New Media Lab (#GNML) online training program supported by the U.S. Department of States' Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, facilitated by Waitsfield-based nonprofit PH International, and hosted online by Champlain College's new "Third Planet" interactive web platform.
"We are thrilled to have PH International's GNML students on our campus for an entire week of collaborative new media learning," explains GNML Lead Instructor Dr. Rob Williams, who also teaches Core and communications courses at Champlain College. "Our students have worked hard online for many months, and to bring 26 of them together for a week of advanced media strategy sessions with some of our cutting-edge experts is an exciting prospect," he said.
GNML students will develop skills in advocacy and social media grassroots campaigns as part of the Youth Tech Camp. In addition, students will develop individual action plans which they will take back to their home countries to organize workshops to train others how to use social media for social change and greater civic engagement. While at Champlain, students will also tour Burlington's downtown neighborhoods and experience spring in Vermont, and be advised by a number of Champlain College faculty and staff, with support from PH International's GNML team, led by Program Manager Stacie Clemens.

Let's sue the Bastards!
23 June 2014 14 July 2018 Tim Pat
Sun and summer have a fear engendered blog writing inertia in me recently but the codology about the setting up of a banking inquiry has re- energised me to angrily re-enter the blogosphere.
It is now several years after the infamous banking guarantee, and improbably enough in the mouth of an election which means we are highly unlikely to see the fruits of its deliberations until well after said elections. This is as damnable as it is infuriating.
Obviously the politicians and the elites believe another Irish saying, well-known to both Church and State: "The people are sheep to be driven".
Several years ago as the scale of the banking disaster and with it the rottenness of the relationships between the various Irish financial institutions, Government, senior officials and in particular the accountancy and legal professions I had a sadly prophetic encounter with a senior counsel, a woman, at a Christmas party.
Angered by the destruction of jobs, savings and hopes that were beginning to show up in the suicide statistic, I had commented to my friend to the effect that: "these bastards will have to be sued." She replied evenly with a slight, attractive lisp, (she is of German origin): "there vill be no suing!"
Both angered and thunderstruck I asked how she could make such an extraordinary prophecy. She replied squarely and correctly. "The gardaí dealing with fraud issues are quite good. There unit is efficient but they do not have the back-up they require, they need specialised forensic accountants to make successful court cases possible."
Like an ejit, I thought the woman had lost touch with political reality. After all the national debt involved here is of the order of 125 billion, try paying that off four and a half million population Mr. IMF. In the face of mounting public wrath, the idea that the hiring of a few accountants could hold up the bringing to justice of people who have landed Irish society with a debt burden which is unlikely to be met within the lifetime of my great – great grandchildren seem preposterous.
But my legal friend was a hundred and one per cent correct. At the recent Bar Council Annual Conference, one of the country's leading White Collar crime experts, Remy Farrell SC broke silence to tell the public about the national scandal involved in the failure of the government to hire vitally needed forensic accountants to combat White Collar crime.
Farrell was quoted as saying that The State's regulatory agencies are so stretched by an "endemic" lack of resources that many reports of white-collar crime are not even being read by the authorities.
He also revealed that it was a "scandal" that investigators were "at breaking point", with lack of investment enabling large-scale fraud to go undetected and costing the State millions in lost revenue.
He made the startling revelation that "there is now one forensic accountant working in the principal law enforcement regulatory body in this country," Mr Farrell said, adding: "It's enough to make the tin-pot dictator of a banana republic blush."
It emerged that the state's requirement to adequately deal with the situation caused by the crash would require the employment of five of these specialist accountants. It seems that the current resources available to the state have been absorbed largely by the Anglo inquiries alone. An official report cited at the conference revealed that there were two forensic accountants employed by the government but that one has now retired.
This effectively leaves the citizenry with only one of these vital personnel left to secure justice on their behalf when five are needed.
Political advisors have been hired and the income guidelines which the average citizen must follow have been breached for top executives of The Heath Service Executive (HSE) but yet a relatively insignificant amount of money cannot be found to turn over the stones and see what scuttles out into the light of day from the financial sector.
Instead the public are being offered a send the fools further inquiry, which may not even sit for a year never mind extract anything worthwhile from the claws of the fat cats.
The children of Cathleen, the daughter of Houlihan are being not merely beggared but mocked.

Out toward the tail end of 2017 came the new technology PlayLink for the PlayStation 4. It allowed players to access new games from the PlayStation 4 through their mobile devices. It's a novel concept with some serious advantages, you can have more than 4 players on the one console local with titles such as Hidden Agenda having 2 – 6 players and Singstar Celebrations having 8 players max. Recently I was lucky enough to receive review codes for the PlayLink titles Hidden Agenda, Singstar Celebrations, and Knowledge Is Power. This week I will be reviewing Hidden Agenda from Supermassive Games many will know their work from titles like Until Dawn and the upcoming VR title The Inpatient.
Hidden Agenda follows the same gameplay style as Until Dawn your actions have ripple effects that will change the course of the story as you are playing it meaning your playthrough can be vastly different from another which adds a compelling reason to go back for more.
The story of Hidden Agenda is a fascinating one dealing with a serial killer called "The Trapper" and their disturbing crimes that involve booby-trapping their victims and getting cops killed. You play several characters throughout the course of the game but your first eyes into the world of Hidden Agenda is Officer Becky Marney played by Katie Cassidy who fans of Arrow will recognise. The reason for this recognisability is due to the high quality of the graphics developed by Supermassive Games who made their name in both the innovative gaming and photo-realistic graphics from Until Dawn.
Now to get to the meat of Hidden Agenda the gameplay and it's honestly one of the most enjoyable experiences I've had gaming with a party and this due in no small part to the accessibility of the gameplay. People who were in my party didn't have to know how to play a video to enjoy this video game and it allowed for a communal experience especially in the co-op mode of Hidden Agenda where your whole team works together to try and finish this story with the best ending possible. In the competitive mode, the more interesting mode, in my opinion, the party can work against each other so that players are playing for the individual instead of the whole. This is coupled well with a system that makes the players choose the outcomes of situations by voting for the resolution of said scenarios. There is then the fact that this is heightened by the competitive mode which adds yet another engaging element to Hidden Agenda.
With all these positives you must be thinking, "well there's nothing wrong right Graham?" wrong, unfortunately, there is a single issue with Hidden Agenda and possibly PlayLink as a whole and it's a damning one. To utilise the PlayLink function your phone must connect with the game and I'm not sure whether it was my phone or the app or even the game itself but the connectivity was horrendous every time I played through Hidden Agenda I lost connection with the game and it got to the point every time that I would have to restart the game and hope that it connected again and this situation would only be exasperated by more players with different makes and models of mobile devices.
Hidden Agenda is a lot of fun, the stories, characters, and innovations they've brought to the party gaming genre is great but if this to be something more than the next big fad the issues that I addressed in this review need to be addressed.

"I have a good general fitness, I go indoor climbing twice a week and can quite happily get on my bike and ride 60 to 70 miles a day, and I'm going out for a long ride whenever I can."
"I haven't really thought about the physical side. You just get into a routine and rhythm to make the distance. I'm more thinking about getting saddle-sore, which isn't very glamorous."
"It shouldn't be too cold in Chicago or too hot in Mexico in October and the scenery is going to change dramatically as I pass through eight states".
"I'm looking forward to seeing the Grand Canyon and going through the Mojave Desert and that peacefulness and calmness of being in the middle of nowhere".
"I'm a bit unsure about navigating my way through the cities but I am feeling excited".
"Not many people can say they have cycled across America. That's a pretty cool thing to do."

Setting up nice wallpapers on an AMOLED display always increase the look of your device but for that we have to sacrifice few percent of our just to make it look good, not any more. You can save your phones battery by setting up Dark HD wallpaper, well that's what the developers say about this app. They claim that the Darkops: HD Dark Wallpaper app can save up to 15% of smartphone battery if you set the dark HD wallpapers. Let's find out if it's true or not.
The app has minimal and simple design; you don't have to navigate much to go through the whole app. The app has 3 tabs naming recent wallpaper, Category; which is subdivided into 10 tabs and a Favorite tab. On the top right corner there is a small dropdown menu which gives you options to set, save or store wallpaper.
Using this app is very simple as there is not much to navigate into. All you have to do is select wallpaper and choose one of the three options save, set as or add to favorites. It's that simple, you can set up any wallpaper as your home screen background directly from the app without even downloading it. The wallpapers are of high quality and they won't fade even if you zoom in or use them after cropping. All the wallpapers are free of cost and has no in app purchases. Now coming onto, whether it saves battery or not. We have to say it did save our battery life but the results were not the same every time we used them. Sometime it showed very good results and in the next test they were bad. We used different smartphones and the same thing happened in all of them. The 80% of wallpaper is black so if it saves 6%-7% of battery it's not bad.
The minimalistic design of the app makes it easy to navigate it. You don't have to save the wallpaper into your device to set it up as your home screen wallpaper. The number of wallpaper was very less but more of them are expected to be added soon enough. the app needs serious updates to keep on rolling as it has not much to offer to the audience, but the focus of the was to deliver HD wallpaper without sacrificing the battery life and they successfully did. The wallpaper do save some of the battery life making your device last a little longer. The wallpapers are mostly black in color so it may not attract many people because most of them like to keep as colorful wallpaper on their AMOLED displays. The developers have to work hard on delivering the HD wallpaper that has little more color and designs into it to attract more people to use the app. If you don't have any problem using dark wallpaper then this app is definitely worth a try.

Juul Plots Global Expansion Amid Vaping Deaths in U.S.
Juul has been meeting with international politicians, regulators, and officials to lobby on vaping rules, putting forward health claims it cannot legally make in the U.S.
The embattled American vape company Juul is pushing foreign governments to ditch strict e-cigarette regulations as it aggressively expands across the globe in an attempt to offset lost profits in the U.S.
Juul, which sells sleek e-cigarettes and flavored nicotine "pods" that have become a craze among American teenagers, is planning to enter new markets in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, South America and Asia. As it expands, the company has spent millions of dollars lobbying politicians in an attempt to preempt or roll back relevant regulations on products in several different countries.
The Bureau of Investigative Journalism can reveal Juul has met politicians, regulators and officials to lobby on vaping rules, putting forward health claims it cannot legally make in the U.S. It has also launched glossy marketing campaigns that attempt to portray the company as a responsible alternative to smoking—a far cry from the advertisements that first landed the brand in hot water in the U.S.
The company has come under intense pressure in its home market and is facing hundreds of lawsuits as well as state and federal investigations into claims its early advertising hooked a generation of teenagers on nicotine.
Despite the mounting criticism in the U.S.—including a raid by the Food and Drugs Administration on Juul's offices—investor presentations show that Altria is confident international revenues can offset the predicted slump in U.S. growth. It hopes Juul's global sales will match domestic ones within four years.
Juul is requesting private meetings with ministers and ambassadors across the world to promote its e-cigarettes, influence countries' vaping laws and stop taxes being slapped on its products. Lobbyists have suggested Juul devices can help people quit nicotine altogether, a claim the company would be banned from making in the U.S., according to transcripts of meetings seen by the Bureau.
Its lobbying offensive even includes offering to help governments write e-cigarette rules, despite the fact that tobacco companies are banned from interfering with public health policy under an international treaty.
Juul said it wants to work with regulators and policymakers to provide "an industry point of view on regulations."
Experts are worried other countries could face their own teen vaping "epidemics" if Juul is not adequately regulated as it expands.
"Cigarettes are not cool in most communities. But Juul is cool with youth in a number of communities," said Dr Vinayak Prasad, head of tobacco control for the World Health Organization (WHO). "That's a hugely powerful strategy for the tobacco and related industries, to let these products get in and capture significant market share, getting 6-8 percent of the young people addicted to nicotine. That's a huge market for the future.
"Apart from the known harmful effects of nicotine on the developing brain, nicotine is addictive and could lead people, particularly young people, to take up more harmful forms of nicotine or tobacco consumption."
A recent wave of mysterious lung illnesses, causing dozens of deaths and thousands of hospitalizations in the U.S., has compounded Juul's troubles, although most of the cases were linked to black market products and not Juul devices.
However, the cases have re-ignited fears over the safety of e-cigarettes and a public health debate in which the benefits of switching smokers to a less harmful product are pitted against the risk that non-smoking teens take up vaping.
"The iPhone of e-cigarettes"
Juul was launched by Pax Labs in 2015, and within three years was America's most popular vape. Dubbed "the iPhone of e-cigarettes", it combined slick design with enticing flavors like "cool cucumber" and "creme brulée".
Its first advertising campaign, Vaporized, featured young models posing and dancing against brightly colored backgrounds. Its ads appeared on huge screens in New York's Times Square and page spreads in Vice.
It threw yacht parties, hosted rooftop cinema clubs and held concerts. The brand even funded summer camps for children as young as 8 and went into schools, advertising e-cigarettes as "totally safe".
The devices, which could be used discreetly and without releasing much vapour, surged in popularity. High school students bragged of taking puffs during lessons without anyone noticing. A language evolved among teenagers: "ghost ripping" meant taking a discreet drag; "Juuling" became a verb. On YouTube and TikTok, teens shared tips on blowing rings and shapes with vapour and decorating their Juuls with stickers.
Smoking rates in America fell sharply from 2013, with e-cigarettes like Juul contributing to the decline. Yet vaping has been accused of creating a new public health problem: addictions among non-smoking teenagers. In 2011, 16 percent of high school students regularly smoked and just over 1 percent vaped; the number of smokers fell to 8 percent in 2018, but the number vaping soared to almost 21 percent—more than had smoked before e-cigarettes took off. The FDA declared it an "epidemic" and said Juul was responsible.
Juul said: "We have never marketed to youth and do not want any non-nicotine users to try our products."
Juul has been hit with hundreds of lawsuits in which Americans claim they were not warned about the potential dangers of vaping, or that the products contained nicotine. Juul disputes this. Some allege they have suffered respiratory issues, seizures, strokes, mental health and behavioral problems as a result of their addiction to Juuling. Lisa Vail, from Florida, told the Bureau she believes her 18-year-old son Daniel died from respiratory problems due to a heavy Juul addiction.
The company has until May next year to submit an application to the FDA to continue selling its products. It will need to prove they are "appropriate for the protection of public health."
A host of cities and states have already tried to ban vapes like Juul or flavored nicotine, including a blanket ban in its home city, San Francisco. As it fought these measures, Juul's bill for lobbying in Washington soared from $120,000 in 2017 to more than $3 million in the year so far.
Elsewhere, it gave nearly $19 million to support PropC, a ballot measure to overturn San Francisco's vape ban, which was unsuccessful. It set up The Switch Network, recruiting members of the public to contact state and local politicians to promote vaping. Critics accused it of "astroturfing," dressing up a well-funded lobbying campaign as a grassroots movement.
Stefanie Miller, an investment adviser who specializes in regulatory risks, said the backlash against Juul in the U.S. will severely constrict its American market. "I would be very concerned if they weren't simultaneously trying to grow in other markets," she said.
Altria told investors it expects hardly any earnings from Juul this year as it expands abroad. Juul has launched in 21 countries outside the U.S., including Canada, Russia and much of Europe, but has plans to open in more markets across Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, and has advertised for jobs and lobbied governments in South America.
Amid the backlash at home, the company made extensive efforts to show it has changed and suspended all "active" lobbying in the U.S.—but the Bureau uncovered a very different picture across the world.
Rewriting the Rules
For decades tobacco companies lied about the lethal effects of their products and tried to subvert government policies that would harm their profits. In 2003 a landmark international treaty from the World Health Organization was ratified by more than 180 countries.
One key clause asks governments to protect public health policies from the vested interests of tobacco and e-cigarette companies, limiting interactions and avoiding partnerships.
Yet the Bureau has found concerns that Juul is seeking to shape how countries write the rules that will govern its products, in violation of the treaty.
In a private meeting with a government minister in Vietnam in August this year, lobbyists said Juul was working with a "number of ministries" formulating the country's new decree on vaping. They offered to consult with the Ministry of Health on the new law, according to a transcript of the meeting seen by the Bureau. Vietnam is a signatory of the WHO treaty. Juul told the Bureau the interaction did not violate the treaty.
"Juul clearly has a systematic global strategy to meet with government officials in private behind closed doors," said Matt Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids. He added that in his opinion the strategy violated the WHO treaty and repeated methods the tobacco industry has used to undermine reasonable regulation. "[It] is exactly what the tobacco industry did: replace good science and good evidence with well-paid lobbying and PR firms which operate in secrecy."
Juul lobbyists have also been telling officials the company's products can help people quit smoking, a claim the company cannot make in America because the FDA has not approved e-cigarettes for smoking cessation. To do so, the FDA would have to review the evidence, only some of which backs the claim; other studies have shown people continue to smoke and vape.
"When Juul tells government officials outside the United States that its products have been shown to help people quit using nicotine altogether it is inconsistent with the evidence, it is inconsistent with their internal documents, and it reflects a willingness to say things that they know aren't true," Myers said.
In the meeting in Vietnam a Juul lobbyist claimed its products could help wean people off nicotine entirely. He said: "What you can do, is when someone transits from a cigarette to Juul you can eliminate the combustion and you can offer them lower strength pods over time […] Over time with our technology we can then address the second phase and migrate people down nicotine to zero consumption."
The lobbyist added that the company is looking to explore whether vitamins could be vaped as a more effective way to get them into the bloodstream, which concerns experts who say there have been no long-term studies on the safety of absorbing nutrients through the lungs.
An ambassador from a southern African country, who wanted to remain anonymous, told the Bureau that Juul lobbyists gave him the same pitch. He said: "They said they had success stories of people heavily addicted to smoking who switched to Juul and then quit nicotine altogether."
The lobbying is as persistent as it is pervasive. Juul approached the Mexican government repeatedly, but its representatives were told they would get no further meetings, as there are strict controls on ministers' contact with tobacco companies.
In Indonesia, campaigners are concerned about Juul's rise. At Cilandak Town Square, a shopping centre in Jakarta, the Juul shop—its largest in Asia —sits near a Baskin Robbins and a Starbucks. Experts fear the brand is targeting young people.
Dr. Rafendi Djamin, of the Indonesian National Civil Society Coalition on Tobacco Control, said that the company was aggressively expanding, while e-cigarette regulations had been in limbo for two years. He said: "It has set up kiosks in places that teenagers hang out." He fears a rise in teen vaping on top of the country's soaring teen smoking rate. "Vaping in public has become stylish for young people. They idolize vaping."
Move Fast and Break Things
Juul has been fighting restrictions on its products since its global expansion began. Its first international market was in Israel, where it launched in May 2018. Within three months, it had been banned by the government because officials believed Juul's stronger nicotine pods were "a grave risk to public health.".
Juul launched legal action, with the case to be heard this month, and began a pro-vaping PR campaign.
In India, Juul was said to have captured a third of the booming e-cigarette market before it had formally launched. In preparation, the company hired PR companies and think tanks to seed the media with messages about the benefits of e-cigarettes. However, just as Juul was set to start selling there officially, the central Indian government banned vapes, fearing e-cigarettes were a growing health risk to young people.
Soon Plume Vapours and another local e-cigarette importing company filed petitions against the ban. When the case was opened at a Calcutta court in October, two Juul officials were said to be sat beside Plume's founder. Defending the ban, the Indian solicitor general Aman Lekhi told the court this was a "proxy case for Juul". Juul told the Bureau it has "supported Plume Vapours in the past" but is not part of the legal case.
After launching in the Philippines in June this year, Juul is now fighting the government's proposal to raise taxes on e-cigarettes. Juul's stronger 5 percent nicotine pods, which are banned in the E.U., would be badly hit.
During hearings in the Philippines senate in September, Kenneth Bishop, president of Juul Labs Asia-Pacific, claimed that Juul's products should be taxed less because they were less harmful. He also told legislators that the company was now acting responsibly. He said:
"We have done some things that we are not proud of in the past but we have taken aggressive and industry leading actions to mitigate any risks of exposing our products to youth or appealing to youth."
Yet, fearing a surge of vaping-related illnesses as the U.S. has seen, the Philippines' Department of Health has now asked all hospitals to formally report any cases.
Shane MacGuill, an analyst at Euromonitor, told the Bureau Juul's rapid expansion and "move fast and break things" mentality could harm its perception among regulators and the public.
"I think people in general don't really feel comfortable with where [Juul] think nicotine should be used and shouldn't," he said, "They sort of drove a cart and horses through all of that. And I think it's really a time for reflection for them."
Juul's founders Adam Bowen and James Monsees met over smoking breaks at Stanford University, where they studied product design. Intrigued by the idea of making smoking less harmful and more socially acceptable, they turned their final thesis into an e-cigarette company, Ploom, in 2007, which became Pax Labs in 2015, and Juul Labs in 2017.
The Juul device has gone through many iterations since the prototype. It now looks like a high-end USB stick, its sleek design a far cry from some clunkier competitors, earning it the title of "the iPhone of e-cigarettes". A puff delivers a vaporized dose of nicotine, the addictive substance in tobacco.
The company also sells pre-filled nicotine pods that click into the device and act as a mouthpiece, which come in flavors like "apple orchard", "mango nectar" and "alpine berry."
Juul borrowed a process developed by the tobacco company RJ Reynolds to make its cigarettes more palatable when developing its nicotine formula; the company uses benzoic acid, a common food preservative, to produce "nicotine salts." This prevents the throat irritation that normally occurs when smoking.
It also means a higher dose of nicotine can be inhaled directly into the lungs, entering the bloodstream more quickly. Researchers say this combination allows users to get a puff that matches the addictiveness of a Pall Mall cigarette.
Juul's stronger pods contain 59 mg/ml of nicotine, meaning one pod is the equivalent to a pack of 20 cigarettes.The stronger pods are banned in the U.K. and Europe under E.U. regulations, where nicotine strength is capped at 20mg/ml.
In the U.K., at £10.99 for a set of four pods, Juul costs roughly the same price as the average pack of cigarettes while delivering more nicotine. And unlike cigarettes, which burn out, users can keep vaping on until the device runs out of battery, which takes about a day of use.
Although Juul's influencer-led early marketing would later prove a problem, it created a trend that propelled the company from a small start-up to a market leader. In late 2017 it held 32 percent of the market; by November 2018, it had 76 percent. As it grew, Altria, one of the "big six" tobacco businesses, invested $12.8million for a 35 percent stake. Juul forecast revenues of $3.4 billion for 2019, triple what it generated in 2018, according to Bloomberg.
Juul's meteoric rise ended when concerns over the teen vaping "epidemic" in the U.S. led to congressional hearings and multiple investigations into its early marketing practices. While e-cigarettes expose users to fewer carcinogens than traditional ones, scientists are still learning about the health effects of vaping, especially on young people. The damaging effect of nicotine on teenagers—harming the part of the brain responsible for memory, attention and learning—is well known, but the long-term effects of inhaling the vapour are unknown.
In October 2019, as the outcry raged in the U.S., Altria wrote down $4.5 billion of its investment in Juul, and adjusted its predictions about the company's international sales.

Click the button below to add the Plumeria Perfume to your wish list.
The sweet fragrance of Hawaiian plumeria drifts gently on the tropical tradewinds. Islanders often string these delicate blossoms into festive flower lei to celebrate special occasions, or frequently wear a single blossom in their hair. Indulge yourself in this island tradition with the warm sensual fragrance of our Plumeria perfume.
This perfume smells amazing. So sweet and island-esque. I can't figure out which one is my favorite between plumeria, pikake & passion pineapple, so I bought all three and rotate weekly. These are the first that don't cause a rash on my skin and I will never wear any other perfume besides these because my other more expensive perfume from Clinique is not "me" anymore and my other coconut perfume from Pacifica causes a rash. These perfumes from Forever Florals are affordable and smell great and are my lifetime perfumes. Thank you Forever Florals!
My wife has been a devoted user of FF Plumeria Perfume for decades ever since we lived in Hawaii during the sixties and seventies. We currently live in Montana where relatively few people have been exposed to the delightful plumeria scent, so we receive many favorable comments about Margie's perfume.
Makes me think of Hawaii.
The Plumeria perfume is delightful. Everyone comments on it.
As nice as it is, it is a bit expensive.
As with all the products, the scent is quite beautiful and very accurately represents the true plumeria flower.
exactly what I have been searching for!
I knew I wanted true floral scents in my perfume, as artificial scents don't seem "just right" and foreverflorals.com is the place to go. the plumeria perfume comes with a roller ball in a tube bottle about the size of a lipstick. it smells like fresh plumeria flowers, which is basically all the perfume is made of. excellent scent, and I reapply about half way through the day. it's not overbearingly strong like expensive designer perfumes. I love it!
I love this scent it reminds me of summer! It is so easy to use.
I love the fresh fragrance of the Plumeria Perfume you make. A friend tried to gift me with something similar and it was a huge disappointment and I never wear it. I wear this perfume daily and it not only smells heavenly but it lifts my spirits just inhaling it. It is the BEST perfume I have ever purchased. The only problem with it is that it only comes in one TINY size. I need a bigger bottle of it!!

HB19-1266
Restore Voting Rights Parolees
Concerning the voting rights of persons serving a sentence of parole, and in connection therewith, making an appropriation.
Individuals serving a sentence of parole - eligibility to register and vote - meaning of full term of imprisonment - appropriation. Existing law prohibits a person serving a sentence of parole from being eligible to register to vote or to vote in any election. The act declares that the purposes of parole are served by restoring the vote to persons serving a sentence of parole.
The act clarifies that, for purposes of the "Uniform Election Code" and for applying state constitutional provisions governing disenfranchisement during imprisonment, persons sentenced to parole have completed their "full term of imprisonment" as that term appears in the state constitution. Accordingly, the act makes an individual serving a sentence of parole eligible to register to vote and to vote in any election.
The division of adult parole is required to provide an individual sentenced to parole information regarding the individual's voting rights, how the individual may register to vote and cast a ballot, and how the individual may obtain voter information materials.
The act repeals existing statutory provisions permitting a person on parole to preregister to vote so that the person is automatically registered to vote after being released from parole.
For the 2019-20 state fiscal year, the act appropriates $16,960 to the department of state for use by the information technology division.

Rip the Angels from Heaven
By David Krugler
Published by Pegasus Crime
Washington, DC, 1945: Lieutenant Ellis Voigt of the Office of Naval Intelligence is desperate to keep the secrets that threaten his life. The FBI suspects that he is the communist who murdered a Naval officer in a Washington back alley. The Soviets believe he's holding back information from their contacts, and they're willing to use any means necessary to extract it.When Voigt is sent to New Mexico on a secret mission to identify a Soviet spy, he is tailed by both the FBI and the Russians, running out of people he can trust. As the team at Los Alamos prepares to test an atomic bomb in the desert, Voigt faces the dilemma he'd been trying to avoid: he can stop the Soviets from getting the bomb or he can save himself—but he might not be able to do both.
