What Is E-Liquid? A Complete Guide
By February 8, 2019E-liquids, Vaping
What is e-liquid? The short answer is that e-liquid is the liquid that is vaporized into vapor by an electronic cigarette device. That is the simple definition. But there is a lot more to E-liquid than that. For example, if you use the wrong type of e-liquid a particular type of vaping device, it's not going to work at all. That is because there is different types of e liquid for different types of vape devices and different styles of vaping. So you see what I did there? I went and made something simple all kinds of complicated didn't I? Well, don't worry about it we're going to get through this. It really isn't that bad.
While there are several kinds of e-liquids, it is easy to break down the categories and understand which is applicable to how you vape. Of course, it is important to choose the right type of e-juice but after reading this guide you will have no problem. One thing to know before we get started is to understand that e-liquid goes by the following names:
Vape Liquid
All of these terms refer to the same thing. Don't be thrown off by the different names for e-liquid. We get a lot of questions about what is the difference between e-liquid and e-juice. There is no difference. That clears that up.
The best way to start off our guide on what is e-liquid is to begin by covering what is in e-liquid. So let's start there with the basic ingredients of e-liquid recipes and then we'll talk about the different types.
What is in e-liquid?
E-liquid is made up of four basic ingredients:
Vegetable glycerin, or VG
Propylene glycol, or PG
Flavoring.
Both VG and PG are liquids that are easily converted into a vapor. In addition, both liquids are effective mediums to equally distribute nicotine and flavoring. About 90% of e liquid is a combination of vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol. The other 10% is the nicotine and the flavoring.
Vegetable Glycerin VG
Vegetable glycerin, also known as VG, is a thick and viscous liquid typically extracted from palm plants. It is odorless yet has a sweet taste. VG has been used for decades in food, medications, cosmetics, and other everyday items that we use daily. It is often used as a preservative.
The reason that VG is such a good e-liquid ingredient is because just a small amount of VG will produce a large amount of vapor. That is really the hallmark of vegetable glycerin. It makes a lot of vapor. Although on the flip side it doesn't carry flavor as well as PG.
Propylene glycol, or PG, is a compound the humans have used for over a century. You'll find PG and everything from toothpaste to medication to cosmetics. PG also makes vapor very well. In fact, if you have ever been to a rock concert or stage production you will often see fog or smoke as part of the show. That fog is generated by stage foggers that use propylene glycol. Stage workers have worked around vaporized PG for their entire careers and the CDC has determined that it does not impact human health. Although, PG has a dehydrating effect and some people may find it harsh. That is why most e-liquids do not exceed 50% PG content.
The first electronic cigarettes used primarily PG liquids. Today, e-liquids have more VG to reduce harshness. All e-liquids still have at least some amount of PG because it carries flavor better than PG. For both VG and PG, it is important that responsible e-liquid manufacturers use only US sourced lab grade ingredients. Many companies claim to make USA made e-juice but in reality they may be sourcing ingredients from sketchy overseas suppliers. Make sure you know where your vape juice ingredients come from. Apollo e-liquids are made in the USA in a state of the art lab and all ingredients are sourced from the top US suppliers. That's what you need to look for.
The nicotine in e-cigs is extracted from tobacco plants. Vape nicotine should also be sourced from American pharmaceutical companies that produce the highest purity nicotine. Diluting nicotine for e-liquid requires highly trained professionals. Recent studies have shown that a majority of random e-juices tested had the wrong nicotine level. At Apollo, independent testing has shown that our nicotine content is accurate to within 0.5%, which far exceeds industry standards. Moreover, Apollo liquids are blended in an ISO8 lab operated by PhDs.
The amount of nicotine in a cigarette is about 12 mg. The amount absorbed depends largely on how much an individual smokes. E-cig nicotine levels vary by type of e-juice.
E-liquid uses food grade flavorings. However, and this is important, not all food grade flavorings are appropriate for e-liquids. For example, some flavoring ingredients are no made to be heated. And when heated, they may convert into an unwanted chemical. Apollo does not recommend using DIY e-liquid or e-liquid not made with US sourced ingredients and made in a professional lab. Making e-juice requires extensive knowledge of chemistry.
VG PG Ratio In E-Liquid
The VG PG ratio of an e-liquid is the major difference between e-liquids. Moreover, the VG PG ratio of a vape liquid determines what type of vaping each juice is suitable for. What is VG PG ratio? The VG and PG ratio indicates how much VG vs. PG is in an e-liquid. For example, a 70/30 VG e-juice will have 70% VG and 30% PG. Once again, almost all e-liquids have at least some PG to carry flavor. We have come to the heart of the what is e-liquid question. Here is the list of the most common types of e-liquid and the type of vaping each is used for.
PG E-Liquid
The first e-liquids were all PG and no VG. These early e-juices were used in disposables and cigalikes. The first e-cigs looked like and were about the same size as tobacco cigarettes. Today, we do not know of any electronic cigarette companies that make a pure PG e-juice. Some users found PG to be harsh. As a result, the industry moved to using PG in combination with VG.
70% PG and 30% VG E-Liquid
Because some users found PG e-liquids to be harsh, the industry evolved to 70 / 30 PG e-juice. This type of e-juice is designed to be used with e-cig devices that have an atomizer resistance in the 2.0 ohm or above range. PG e-liquids should not be used with sub ohm atomizers. 70/30 PG may still be used in some e-cig cartridges. For example, V2 and V2 Cigs compatible e-cigarette cartridges. However for the most part, 70% PG e-juice has been phased out by most companies.
50/50 e-liquid is now the preferred ratio for devices that use atomizers with a resistance above 1.0 ohms. Devices that use atomizers above 1.0 ohms are also called MTL, or mouth to lung. MTL is a vaping style in which the user will draw vapor into the mouth and then inhale. This style is similar to smoking. 50/50 e-liquid is the preferred juice for this style of vaping because the VG is smooths out the PG and makes more vapor. And the PG delivers a stronger hit and is excellent for amplifying flavor.
The most common nicotine levels for PG and 50/50 e-liquids are:
Apollo 50/50 e-liquids are available in dozens of flavor options.

70 % VG and 30% PG E-Juices
If someone asks – what is e-liquid – vapers will often talk about VG e-juice. VG e-liquids typically have at least 70% VG content. VG e-liquids are made for sub ohm and temperature control vaping. To learn more about vaping styles, learn more with the vaping for beginners guide. In a nutshell, VG liquids are designed for devices that use atomizer resistance levels below 1.0 ohms. 70/30 liquid works best with devices that have an atomizer resistance between 0.5 ohms and 0.9 ohms. Although VG e-juice can be used with the lowest resistance atomizers as well.
The common nicotine levels for VG e-liquids are:
VG e-liquids have lower nicotine content because the large amount of vapor produced. The user will be inhaling more vapor and as a result, less nicotine is required to satisfy.
80% VG and 20% PG E-Juice
80/20 e-juice will produce more vapor than 70/30. Although the flavor may not be as vibrant as a 70/30 blend, if an 80/20 is made right the user will still enjoy rich flavor to go along with the extra vapor. This ratio is preferred by vapers who regularly use devices with atomizers between 0.1 ohms and 0.5 ohms.
Max VG
Max VG e-juice is designed with as much VG content as possible with just a small amount of PG to carry the flavor. While the flavor is not as strong as other VG liquids, the vapor production is massive. True max VG E Liquids are all about huge quantities of vapor. Max VG is what cloud chaser's including competition cloud chaser's like to use.
The above e-liquid ratios comprise the overwhelming majority of e-juice on the market today. You can find these blends at Apollo Electronic Cigarettes. Apollo is one of the original American e-cig companies and is wholly independent with no association with Big Tobacco. In addition, Apollo owns and operates its own world class e-liquid lab facility.

Nicotine Salt E-Liquids
Nicotine salt e-liquid is leading the latest trend in vaping. With nicotine salt e-liquid, a little bit of vapor packs a lot of punch. As a result, the user does not need a large device to get a satisfying vape. Rather a small device with a modest amount of vapor is fully satisfying. That is because the nicotine content with nicotine salt E-liquid is much higher. The thing about nicotine salts though is that it is less harsh than regular pharmaceutical grade nicotine. As a result, the user can get more nicotine in less vapor.
The most common Nicotine salt e-juice nicotine levels are:
Apollo nicotine salt e-liquid comes in a variety of flavors. Each nic salt juice is blended with a 50/50 PG/VG ratio. That means that nic salt e-liquids are designed to be used in MTL devices with atomizer resistances above 1.0 ohms.

What Is E-Liquid Summary
To summarize the basic answer to what is e-liquid we go back to the beginning. E-liquid is the liquid that is converted into a vapor by a vaping device. Beyond that, we have covered the essential types of e-liquids.
PG and 50/50 E-Liquids – used in devices that have atomizers above 1.0 ohms. Nicotine content ranges from 0 mg to 24 mg.
VG E-Liquids – used in devices with atomizer resistances below 1.0 ohms. Nicotine content ranges from 0 mg to 6 mg.
Nicotine Salt E-Liquids – nic salts are less harsh than regular nicotine. Used in devices, typically pod mods, with atomizer resistances above 1.0 ohms. Nicotine content ranges from 25 mg to 50 mg.
The essential ingredients in e-juice are PG, VG, nicotine, and flavoring.
The final point to be made is to encourage vapers to be discerning when choosing an e-liquid. Find out where and how an e-liquid is made. Also find out where the ingredients come from and who is making e-juice. Ultimately, e-liquid is inhaled into the body and as a result it is important to focus on quality. Always by e-liquid from reputable companies like Apollo.

Newsweek: Did we mention we were wrong about that marriage stat?
The magazine's nostra culpa is its cover story.
Update: When it comes to its nostra culpa, Newsweek's doing more than sputtering. "20 Years Ago, We Predicted a Single 40-Year-Old Woman Had a Better Chance of Being Killed by a Terrorist Than Getting Married," reads the cover of the June 5 issue. And then: "Why We Were Wrong." The last part's in red.
In the cover article, we learn the back story of the now-infamous "killed by a terrorist" line. Apparently, it was "first hastily written as a funny aside in an internal reporting memo" by San Francisco correspondent Pamela Abramson, and later inserted into the actual story by an editor in New York -- who, along with her colleagues, "thought it was clear the comparison was hyperbole."
What does Abramson have to say? "'It's true -- I am responsible for the single most irresponsible line in the history of journalism, all meant in jest,' jokes Abramson, now a freelance writer who, all kidding aside, remains contrite about the furor it started," reports Newsweek, extra careful this time to add the words "jokes" and "kidding."
According to this article, among the unfortunate consequences of the cheap shot heard 'round the world was this: People instantly forgot that the demographic study in question had uncovered trends relevant to marriage rates that had nothing to do with some sort of Emergency Guy Shortage. These trends included rising numbers of cohabiting couples, single mothers by choice, out gays and single women saying they're happy that way, thanks.
The article also throws in some new stuff for us to chew on. "Newer studies conclude that nowadays, a college degree makes a woman more likely to marry, not less," says Newsweek, thus catapulting the article to "Most e-mailed to John Tierney" status. "This new twist has given researchers another worry: that marriage, which confers a host of economic, tax and child-rearing advantages, is becoming disproportionately reserved for better-educated, middle- and upper-class elites."
Again, Newsweek's revisit is awfully late, but it's better than nothing. And now I'm looking forward to the 2025 Times story in which editors say they thought it was clear that that whole "women leaving the workplace in droves" thing was "hyperbole."


As the Season draws close to it's end, there is still the thrill of another race meeting to enjoy. With five days of enthralling action set against the magnificent backdrop of the rolling Sussex countryside, The Qatar Goodwood Festival – popularly known as 'Glorious Goodwood' – is one of the highlights of the flat-racing season.
With it's position as one of the largest race meetings in the world, the Qatar Goodwood Festival is a spectacle that has to be experienced. Elegant fashion combined with some of the greatest races in the world create a festival week like no other.
Dressing for Goodwood is all about 'informal elegance' – King Edward VII once described Goodwood as a "garden party with racing tacked on." The 'smart but not stuffy' style guide encourages race goers to dress up but to express themselves while doing so. Goodwood organisers recommend that guests treat the Richmond Enclosure like a summer wedding, with millinery an elegant accent to outfits, but not compulsory.

FOR COMPETITION LAWYERS WITH CORPORATE CLIENTS, (NOT TO MENTION ECONOMISTS AND NON-SPECIALIST PRACTITIONERS)
An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
There are a number of areas in which law and economics are inextricably linked; competition law being one of them.
Additionally, as perceived by the general public, competition law has one of the highest profiles of any area of law, if only because, by its very nature, it almost inevitably involves large well known companies. The expert authors of this timely publication from the Oxford University Press cite a number of examples from both sides of the Atlantic: among them Sotheby's, the famous Roche `vitamins' case and Microsoft to name just three.
Cited by the publishers as the first EU competition law treatise that offers a genuinely integrated approach to both legal and economic issues, this major new work brings together in one volume the quite vast range of issues and subject areas likely to be encountered by competition lawyers and economists alike.
The book commences with an examination of the history of competition law. Competition and monopolization originate in antiquity -- the astronomer Thales apparently had a lot to answer for over his olive oil monopoly -- but the first bodies of competition law which can be termed `modern' date back only to the end of the nineteenth century when the first piece of competition legislation appeared in North America, first in Canada in 1889 and in the US a year later.
These two nations rules, say the authors, `had a significant influence on the design and content of the EU completion rules.' Well, that applies an interesting perspective to EU competition law, which has its particular roots in the legislative framework emanating from the original Iron and Steel community.
This scholarly and skillfully organized book contains any amount of similarly insightful observation - especially on specific cases -- which offer their own peculiar fascination. Here's just one quote, for example, that may occasion considerable debate:
`Many consider that (especially following Microsoft v. Commission and Wanadoo v. Commission) those cases demonstrate the EU Courts' discomfort in matters involving sophisticated economic analysis. To increase the effectiveness of judicial review, as well as to reduce the average duration of proceedings before the EU Courts (currently it takes 20 to 30 months for the GC to rule on a competition case), a number of observers have recently argued in favour of establishing a specialist competition court at the EU level, similar to the Competition Appeals Tribunal in the UK.'
This of course is yet another instance of the thought provoking commentary provided by the expert authors: two of whom are competition law practitioners and academics, the other a well known economic consultant.
Certainly the book provides an in-depth examination (from both an historical perspective as well as the contemporary standpoint) of each of the core areas of EU competition law, including horizontal agreements... vertical restraints... merger litigation and control and certainly, cartels - these being originally considered acceptable for continental Europe, but now anathema.
For those professionally or personally involved in the issues raised in the arena of competition law, this volume, distinguished by its clarity of explanation and expression, is an enlightening read. Ample tools for further inquiry are provided, including extensive tables of cases, legislation and Commission decisions.
This book does emerge as an authoritative work of abiding interest to specialist legal practitioners, as well as economists and everyone involved professionally with EU competition law. The publication date is 2012.

THE Malaga megayacht marina has started 2023 with a good forecast of berths.
Since its inauguration last July, the flow of private pleasure boats sailing into Malaga Port to dock at the new megayacht marina in the city has started to gain momentum.
The IGY Málaga Marina, a dedicated superyacht marina that boasts 33 berths for superyachts between 20 and 180 meters, has been home for several months to three boats of 20, 21 and 35 meters respectively.
Then, arriving last December, the 44m superyacht Checkmate, built by Benetti, began a wintering period in the waters of the marina that will last several months.
In addition to these megayachts, 2023 has seen the arrival to the IGY Málaga Marina of the two-masted sailing ship Audrey II; a classic built in Holland in 1997. Another impressive luxury sail yacht which is scheduled to stay in Malaga waters for an extended period of time.
Completing the list of yachts making their winter stopovers in the waters of the Malaga marina, is the Vava II, which, at 96 meters in length, is the longest private pleasure boat to visit the marina so far this year.
The Vava II has a planned stay of one month, and will undergo a series of maintenance works.
Additionally, another four 40-meter yachts are expected to arrive to the new megayacht marina shortly, two of which to carry out repair work, while the other two are scheduled to stay for several months.
The Malaga megayacht marina offers a high-power electricity supply to moored craft so the boats' generators can be turned off during their stay, making savings in polluting emissions into the air.

Belgium's Flemish Region to impose limitations on ritual slaughter in '19
(JTA) — Belgium's Flemish Region will impose new limitations on the ritual slaughter of animals without stunning in 2019.
Ben Weyts, the animal welfare minister of the Flemish Region — one of three autonomous states that make up the federal kingdom of Belgium – made the announcement Wednesday in the Flemish parliament. The new limitations would be launched on Jan. 1, 2019.
Their precise nature has not yet been made public nor finalized pending talks with representatives of the Jewish and Muslim communities, the Gazet van Antwerpen daily newspaper reported Thursday.
Weyts, commenting on criticism by some Jews and Muslims in Belgium over the announcement, told the newspaper that "the decision in principle has been taken and everyone should respect it."
Neither the elected representatives of the Jewish community of the Flemish Region nor of those of Belgium have consented to the plan to impose new limitations, which Weyts described as a "compromise" and "historical agreement."
Contrary to some reports in the media, the Flemish parliament did not vote on a ban, according to the De Morgen daily.
The plan to introduce the new limitations was announced as the result of an agreement between the coalition partners of the center-right New Flemish Alliance ruling party.
Pinchas Kornfeld, an influential rabbi from Antwerp who acts as spokesman for the region's communities and is chairman of the European Shechitah Board, would not comment on the details of the proposed limitations, the Joods Actueel Jewish paper reported.
Shechitah, the ritual method of slaughtering animals, requires they be conscious when their throats are slit — a practice that critics say is cruel but which advocates insist is more humane than mechanized methods used in non-kosher abattoirs. Muslims slaughter animals in a similar method, albeit with fewer restrictions, to produce halal meat.
According to Joods Actueel, Weyts is seeking the consent of Muslim and Jewish faith communities to a proposal in which small animals would be non-lethally stunned with electricity before they are killed. Larger animals would receive "irreversible stunning" — a term that usually describes a bolt pin to the brain — within seconds of the slashing of their throats in a procedure known as post-cut stunning. Some Orthodox Jewish communities and their faith leaders, including in Austria, have accepted post-cut stunning.
Kornfeld declined to comment on the proposal.
"We will study it calmly and then react," he told Joods Actueel.
The European Jewish Association, a Brussels-based lobby group, condemned the announcement, which the group said amounted to a ban on the practice.
"Let's stop pretending that banning kosher slaughter has anything to do with animal welfare," said the group's leader, Rabbi Menachem Margolin, who is affiliated with the Chabad Hasidic movement. It is "dubious, unsettling and running contrary to [scientific] evidence."
His association said the government of Belgium's Walloon Region is planning to announce a similar plan next year.
Antwerp, the capital of the Flemish Region, has 18,000 Jews, roughly half of the Jewish population of Belgium. The city's kosher slaughterhouses provide meat to many Jewish communities in Europe.

Convince me
Peace in Northern Ireland
During the violent 30-year conflict in Northern Ireland, thousands of people lost their lives and many more were injured. The Human Rights Act helped to heal some of those wounds and plays a vital part in keeping the peace today.
The road to peace
In 1998, after thirty years of bitter conflict in Northern Ireland, the Good Friday Agreement was signed – a huge step in establishing peace. The Human Rights Act is key to the peace deal. The Agreement states that the UK must bring the European Convention of Human Rights into Northern Irish law, which is exactly what the Human Rights Act does. When the Good Friday Agreement was written, it had human rights at its very core.
Throughout Northern Ireland's troubled history, there has been much distrust in political institutions and the police. But the Human Rights Act helped transform public confidence in the government and police, because public institutions could now be held accountable for their actions.
It put power back into the hands of ordinary people.
"The Human Rights Act means there is a route for Troubles victims to make sure that the government investigates their cases. If the Human Rights Act wasn't there, I don't know how justice would be served." – Alan McBride, who lost his wife Sharon in an IRA bombing in Belfast in 1993
After eighteen years of peace, the UK government is now threatening to remove one of the cornerstones of the Good Friday Agreement.
The Human Rights Act was a building block of stability in very troubled times. The immediate threat of violence has diminished, but tensions still exist today. Much of Belfast is still divided into loyalist and nationalist communities marked by so-called 'peace walls'.
Professor Monica McWilliams was at the table when the Good Friday Agreement was made in 1998. She says that back then, she would never have imagined that the Human Rights Act would be in jeopardy at any stage.
"I am shocked to the core that the UK government doesn't understand the importance of the Human Rights Act in Northern Ireland. I'm appalled that they would interfere with it after 30 years of bitter conflict. There's every possibility that we could go very far back again if it's removed." – Professor Monica McWilliams, former NI Assembly member and Chief of the NI Human Rights Commission
The Irish government has also warned the UK that repeal of the Human Rights Act in Northern Ireland would be a breach of the Agreement and could have serious implications for stability in the region.
Charlie Flanagan, the Irish foreign minister has said that the Human Rights Act "is woven into the structure" of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement between the UK and Irish governments and the parties in Northern Ireland. "The shared emphasis on human rights is part of what makes the peace process credible."
The UK government must not risk dismantling eighteen years of peace.

Each year, religion professors at Brigham Young University (BYU) produce hundreds of publications on subjects related to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This podcast brings this research into one place to enlighten the everyday seeker of truth. Interviewing the author, we discuss why the study was done, why it matters, and why the professor chooses to be both a scholar, and a disciple. This is Y Religion.

The Transmission of Faith from Parents to Children (Byran Korth)
We have all inherited things from our parents: everything from genetics to family values. But how do parents pass on religious belief and faith to their children? Church history and doctrine professor Byran Korth talks about his research on religion and families, the parenting styles that help parents to transmit their faith to the next generation—and why this understanding is so crucial in our modern world.
Joseph Merrill, Truth Seeker (Casey Griffiths)
As we seek truth, we are asked to harmonize seeming paradoxes: balance the mind and the heart; learn by study and faith; be in the world but not of the world. How do we do this? In this episode, Dr. Casey Griffiths introduces us to the fascinating life of a scientist, educator, and apostle who exemplified this approach—Joseph F. Merrill—and why his work continues to influence Church members today.
A Modern Perspective on Ancient Christians (Jason Combs)
It is easy to assume that the records of the early Christians fall silent after the end of the New Testament. However, abundant information exists describing the lives, faith, and sacrifices of these earliest believers, details which are often overlooked by Latter-day Saints. In this episode, Jason Combs explores the world and worship of the ancient Christians in the centuries after the New Testament, helping us to learn from their experiences and to recognize them as our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Religious Liberty and the Law (Robert Smith)
Joseph Smith once said, "It is the love of liberty which inspires my soul, civil and religious liberty to the whole human race." This sentiment is equally relevant today. Dr. Robert Smith has dedicated much of his professional life to the study of religious liberty and the law. In this episode he discusses the campaign for religious liberty in our modern day—and why it is crucial to keep it.
Orson Hyde and the Church in Jerusalem (David Whitchurch)
In 1841, after years of sacrifice and travel, Orson Hyde arrived in Jerusalem. His brief but impactful mission had innumerable effects on the Church in the Holy Land. In this episode, Professor of Ancient Scripture David Whitchurch takes us through Orson Hyde's journey, which paved the way for the miraculous opening of the BYU Jerusalem Center. Professor Whitchurch also reflects on his own journey of learning about this spiritual giant—and shows why Orson Hyde's story is such an important example to us all.
Slavery and Sacred Texts (Jordan Watkins)
America's history with slavery is complicated and controversial, especially when considered in a religious context. On this episode, Professor Jordan Watkins takes us into antebellum America, showing how views over slavery were shaped by interpretations of the Bible and the country's founding documents, such as the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution. He also examines ways these nineteenth-century interpretations continue to influence people today.

Atari ST games list!
Developer / Publisher US Gold
Loosely based on all three block-buster films, The Godfather, the game has taken an extremely long time coming but the result has been well worth the wall, especially due to its great visuals and sound, interesting gameplay but tough to play. Released only for the Amiga, Atari ST and PC (MS-DOS) computers.
The game is loosely based on all three block-buster films, with five levels taking the story from 1940s New York to a small US town in the 1980s. Along the way you have to wipe out an opposing family's hoods in a 1950s Las Vegas, infiltrate Hyman Roth's mansion in Havana and fight your way onto an opponent's luxurious in Miami. Five families are involved in a struggle for the control of organized crime.
Stages offer some unique style of gameplay back then. The street stages, found somewhere in New York/Las Vegas/Miami Marina etc, are classic side-scrolling action adventure/shooter in which you walk through the streets and shooting thugs either coming towards you or other leaning out of the windows, appearing behind shop doors or trying to drop bricks on your head. There are also incoming vehicles packed with criminals and shoot at you in the old-style mafia way (the co-driver is shooting with Tommy Gun etc). Eat too many bullets and you'll face a grave situation. As long as you progress, you need to find certain objects (even by climbing up unsteady fire escapes) in order to be able to proceed to the next screens (sub-stages). Be noted that there are several innocent people walking at the streets, and each time you accidentally shoot them, the "family disgrace" meter (!) lowers until you end-up with a game-over for wiping out humble civilians too. At the end of each of the 5 street-stages, there is a pseudo 3D shooting galore gameplay, in which you find yourself in a bar or in a mansion were you have to wipe out enemies who appear from behind handy bits of scenic camouflage (the bar, furniture etc). Brilliant graphics here! Well the game really reminds me Lost Patrol (Ocean) in terms of graphics quality and gameplay!
Ok, this is a great arcade-style run and gun game with plenty of action (although a bit slow I believe) and hard at times gameplay. Its name and its great visuals made this old-style shooter a brilliant title, and really worth to play with at least with the Amiga version (the Atari ST version, although looking good, is totally frustrating in terms of gameplay, as too much slowdowns and terrible scrolling due to hardware limitations). And I will not talk about disk swapping in both versions (6 disks!).
The Atari ST version offers some great background graphics and convey each decade and location brilliantly but using only 16 colors on screen and thus degrades the quality when compared to the mighty Amiga and PC versions. The different locations are superb and the atmosphere has been harnessed perfectly too! Sprites are all well designed and beautifully animated but slows down a lot when too many populating the screen. Also there is plenty of parallax scrolling and the screens even pan upwards/downwards and this makes the ST version even more unplayable due to its hardware graphics limitations! Even on the mighty Amiga hardware there are some scrolling glitches, and I believe that it takes Amiga custom chips to its limits, probably due to the use of all 8 default hardware sprites plus a lot of software sprites too (just note that there are even background ambient animated scenes i.e. cars, trains, boats passing etc during gameplay).
Sound is good too. The ST version offers a handful of ambient sound effects (but not digitized here) and nicely composed old-style music during gameplay.

Wyoming, Grand Teton National Park, Teewinot. On July 16, John Reisinger (25) and Gary Smith (18) had completed an ascent on Mt. Teewinot and were descending, unroped, via a snow-filled couloir. Reisinger began to slide out of control and before he could effect a selfarrest he had slid about 30 ft. down the snow and onto some rocks where he tumbled another 10 to 15 ft. suffering injury to his arm. Smith put the arm in an improvised sling and assisted Reisinger during the continuation of the descent. Reisinger was taken directly to St. John's Hospital in Jackson.

Can Influenza D Become a Risk to Humans?
Researchers to examine how influenza D infects cells
30-Oct-2018 10:55 AM EDT, by South Dakota State University
Newswise — The South Dakota State University research team that discovered the influenza D virus will continue its work through a five-year, $2.6 million National Institutes of Health Research Project grant. The work will focus on how influenza D infects cells to evaluate the likelihood of the virus becoming a risk to humans.
"This helps us maintain our momentum," said Professor Feng Li, a virologist in the Department of Biology and Microbiology in the College of Natural Sciences. He leads a research team that includes Professor and Assistant Department Head Radhey Kaushik and Assistant Research Professor Dan Wang. Two postdoctoral research associates and three graduate students also work on the project.
Li and his group will also collaborate with Emory University Professor of Pediatrics and Infectious Diseases Gregory Melikian, who will investigate the path of the virus after it enters the cell using real-time single virus tracking imagery.
"Humans do not have pre-existing immunity to influenza D. That is why we need to know how the virus replicates—it will give us a target for the development of a vaccine as well as antivirals," Li explained.
"It is the foundational work that Dr. Li and his group have done that led to them receiving this NIH RO1 grant," Kaushik said. "This grant signifies the importance of the virus and gives the SDSU team national and international recognition." The RO1 grant allows researchers to apply for a continuation award during the final year of the project.
Li acknowledged the contributions of doctoral students Jieshi Yu and Runxia Liu, now a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, and Chithra Sreenivasan, now a postdoctoral research associate at SDSU, for generating the data for the grant application.
Assessing exposure to virus
The SDSU researchers originally isolated the influenza D virus from a diseased pig in 2011, but later found that cattle were the primary reservoir. "Influenza had never been found in cattle before," said Li, who also does research through the South Dakota Biosystems Networks and Translational Research and Center for Biologics Research and Commercialization.
SDSU alumnus Ben Hause, now vice president of research, development and diagnostics at Cambridge Technologies in Minnesota, identified and characterized those two lineages of the virus as part of his doctoral research under Li's tutelage. One lineage lives only in cattle, while the other spreads to both cattle and pigs.
Through a previous National Institutes of Health grant, the research group identified influenza D antibodies in goats, sheep and horses in the Midwest and proved that the guinea pig can serve as an animal model to study the virus. The group published 10 papers based on these discoveries.
"Finding antibodies [in the blood] does not mean the virus is causing disease, but that the animals are being exposed to the virus," Kaushik said. "Influenza D itself does not seem to produce severe clinical symptoms, but in association with other bacterial and viral agents, it can be part of a respiratory disease complex."
In 2016, the International Committee of Taxonomy of Viruses officially announced a new genus, Orthomyxovirdae, with a single species, Influenza D virus, because of its distinctness from other influenza types—A, B and C.
Determining how virus enters cells
"Influenza D has not been shown to be pathogenic in humans, so no one should be afraid. However, we need to know more about the virus, so we can be ahead of it should it become a threat to humans," Kaushik explained. Several small studies have found influenza D antibodies in blood samples from humans, many of whom work closely with animals.
"This award will allow us to answer questions regarding chemical and molecular details about the virus, including its interaction with the host," Li said. "When a virus adapts itself to pigs, it is a wake-up call that this virus may have some features that may allow it to cross species and affect humans." The 2009 influenza pandemic, for instance, involved a strain that originated from pigs.
To get into a cell, the virus must first attach to a receptor on the cell membrane. "Each virus attaches to specific types of glycoproteins—sugar molecules attached to a protein backbone—on the cell surface," Kaushik said. The glycoprotein is the bait that fools the cell into engulfing the virus.
Influenza viruses bind to specific receptors on the glycoproteins. These receptors are different in humans and animals. However, preliminary investigations show influenza D can bind to the receptor that human influenza C uses as well as to nonhuman receptors, Wang explained. The researchers will compare the two influenza D lineages to ascertain "what is the virus determinant that might enable the virus to jump from pig or cattle to humans."
Furthermore, a previous study showed that influenza D can withstand high temperatures and acidic environments. "It is the most stable of the four influenza viruses," Wang said. "If influenza D would one day jump from animals to humans, influenza could potentially become a year-round health problem."
The work performed through this grant will help the researchers understand the molecular basis of influenza D transmission, its pathogenesis in different species and its clinical importance, if any, Kaushik explained. "It will pave the path to devising strategies to control virus transmission in different animal species and in humans."

General Contractor tips and tricks: If a gas water heater does not heat water, first remove the outer and inner access panels and make sure the pilot is lighted. To relight a pilot, check with the warranty book. During operation, the outer and inner access panels must be in place. Operating the water heater without the access panels may allow air drafts to blow out of the pilot flame. If the pilot will not light, it is probably because the thermocouple is worn out. The thermocouple is a safety device designed to shut off the gas automatically if the pilot flame goes out. Tools needed would include a wrench, vacuum cleaner, needle-nose pliers and thin wires.
If this is the problem, or you need any general contractor or remodeling services, contact our locally owned company in North Orlando today for more info. We look forward to earning your business with hard work and professionalism.


Working on a couple of personal projects recently, I've been reminded again how helpful I find the profiling tools that Visual Studio's debugger gives you. As you may have guessed from some of my previous posts, every so often I get to worry about the performance of .Net code at work – but it's useful for any sort of project, not just Sitecore. And investigating some issues in my own code, memory snapshots and deltas helped me out again. So maybe they could help you too?
The top part describes the overall memory and CPU usage in some nice animated graphs. The memory graph here can be quite useful in itself, as it shows you trends in your code's memory use as it runs. The rate of change of this graph tells you about the overall rate of change in your app's memory usage. You're aiming for a graph that's roughly level over time.
When you're debugging some code, the "Take Snapshot" option will grab you a memory dump of the current state of the .Net heap. You can take a series of these as your app works, to gather detailed data on how the memory usage is changing over time.
This tab gives some stats on the time the snapshot was taken at, the number of objects and the memory they were using. When you have more than one snapshot recorded, the second and onwards ones will have both the absolute numbers and a delta from the previous snapshot.
When you sort these tables with "most objects" or "most memory used" at the top, you get a detailed picture of what objects in your code are taking up the most memory resources. If types you defined, or framework objects that were allocated by your code are up at the top of these lists then you should start thinking about whether there's some optimisiation required to avoid problems in production. Does the code create and destroy lots of objects? Maybe pooling could help you reduce the problem? Or if objects are being created and never destroyed you need to look into what reference is keeping it in memory, because the .Net Garbage Collector won't dispose of objects that your code still has a reference to.
So next time you're working on some code that's taking up a surprising amount of memory on production, why don't you try making use of some snapshots to try and help you diagnose what it is that's filling up the memory?

A New Era of Student-Created Anthologies: Antología abierta de literatura hispánica!
Are you a professor of Hispanic literature? We need you and your students to help us expand the Antología abierta de literatura hispánica! We're looking for instructors to run a critical edition assignment in their classrooms (with support) and submit the results to the second edition of the anthology. If you're interested, head to the project homepage and let us know!
We're pleased to share that the Antología abierta de literatura hispánica (AALH) is now available for use in classrooms! The AALH is a collection of public-domain texts from the Hispanic world, accessible to students of Hispanic literature as a free, openly licensed resource on the web, in PDF or as an ebook. It proposes an inclusive, broad, and evolving definition of the canon, and in so doing reimagines the 'Anthology' for a new era.
This project is spearheaded by Dr. Julie Ward at the University of Oklahoma, who ran an Edición Crítica assignment in her Introduction to Hispanic Literature course to produce the first edition of the anthology. Over the course of the semester, students prepared critical introductions and annotations that came together to become the AALH.
We are now looking for instructors to replicate this assignment (or something similar) in their Fall 2017 course, and contribute their own student-created critical editions to the next edition of the anthology. As these editions are collected and compiled, we see the AALH becoming a robust, accessible, and valuable resource for students, instructors, and researchers in the field of Hispanic literature.
To support faculty who will be conducting the assignment, Dr. Ward has prepared a comprehensive implementation guide, complete with assignment materials, student guides, and instructor resources. She and others running the assignment will also be available to consult on questions or challenges that may arise.
The AALH is unique in its incorporation of student voices and perspectives, drawing inspiration from the highly regarded Open Anthology of Earlier American Literature (first produced by Robin deRosa and now being expanded by new lead editor Tim Robbins & the Rebus Community). These projects redefine conceptions of an Anthology from a static collection put together only by faculty to a dynamic, accessible compilation of both faculty and student work.
If you're excited by these developments, and want to participate in this project, sign-up on the Rebus Community Forum and leave a comment on the discussion thread!

North Korea nuclear test 'inevitable'?
North Korea nuclear test 'inevitable'?
A third nuclear test by the DPRK (North Korea) has been all–but inevitable ever since the less than optimal results at its first two nuclear tests. Between 1945 and 1990, the US and Soviet Union conducted over 1000, and about 800, nuclear tests respectively and the French around 200. Even now, the Republicans refuse to allow the US to ratify the CTBT which would at least ban further testing.
As of now, the DPRK has hardly more than 10 unreliable warheads of around 10Kt maximum each. The DPRK's tests have all been less than one Kt. It is speculated that the first DPRK test was a 'fizzle'.
It is therefore inevitable – given the priorities of the regime – that they would want to 'improve' their arsenal and their delivery system. And it is equally inevitable that sanctions will merely reinforce their determination to do so. This is of course extremely bad news for the entire North Asian region, leading as it will to pressures from quarters in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, to 'go nuclear'. This in turn leads to more itchy fingers over more and more nuclear triggers, increasing the likelihood of actual use of nuclear weapons by orders of magnitude.
Yet it must be said that the imposition of sanctions was never going to do anything other than make the DPRK yet more determined to obtain nukes no matter how many of its citizens might starve as a result of that determination.
And while the DPRK has its 10 or so rather pathetic weapons, Pakistan and India have 110 and 100 respectively, with the population of Kashmir being told to build bunkers and 'duck and cover', as US and Russian citizens did in the 50s and 60s. A nuclear war between India and Pakistan, using 0.3% of global nuclear arsenals and around 200 warheads, could create immediate casualties of over 150 million and deaths from famine in the ensuing 'nuclear autumn' of up to one billion globally.
An accidental nuclear 'exchange' between the US and Russia, who maintain over 2000 warheads on high alert, on the latest Minuteman-III and Topol-M missiles capable of launch in less than a minute, and who have over 10,000 warheads total, would produce temperatures lower than the last ice age, and would be the end of civilisation and possibly of the human (and many other) species.
The DPRK is quite incapable of that. Yet the US and Russia maintain their missiles in a configuration in which an accidental apocalypse is entirely possible.
An impending DPRK nuclear test cannot possibly be good news for the planet, and makes it more likely that someplace sometime, by madness, malice, miscalculation or malfunction, nuclear weapons will actually be used.
Yet the policies adopted toward the DPRK – (to be sure, not people who are in any way easy or pleasant to deal with!) – are entirely predictably going to bring about precisely the opposite result to the result we all want. Blind Freddie can see this, and the DPRK itself is telling us that in unambiguous language. The next DPRK nuclear test, possibly accompanied by the launch of real ICBMs, unfolds with all the inevitability of a Greek tragedy. Perhaps there are NO 'right' answers to the North Korean problem.
And this is an ill wind that blows nobody any good.

Americans United for Separation of Church and State - Public schools are a unifying force in our society. They are open to all students regardless of race, ability or religion.
- No students should feel excluded in their own school because of their beliefs, and no parent should have to worry that their children are being given religious instruction in a public school. It is also wrong for anyone's tax dollars to be used to support religious education through private school vouchers.
- Americans United fights to ensure that all public schools are inclusive and that taxpayer dollars are not diverted to private schools. We do this by opposing vouchers, school-sponsored prayer and religious instruction.

Home Headlines Justices debate state's right to take tort recoveries from Medicaid beneficiaries
Justices debate state's right to take tort recoveries from Medicaid beneficiaries
Laura Hansen
ARGUMENT ANALYSIS
By	Ronald Mann
Monday's argument in Gallardo v. Marstiller displayed a bench surprisingly divided over a relatively simple question of statutory interpretation. The topic is what to do when a state Medicaid program pays for injuries that a beneficiary suffers, if the beneficiary later recovers a settlement from a third party that caused the injury. All agree that the state can take the portion of the settlement that addresses past medical expenses. The problem, if the settlement for past medical expenses is not enough to repay the expenses already paid by Medicaid, is whether the state also can take the part of the settlement that reflects future medical expenses.
The statute's treatment of that problem is obscure. Because Medicaid is supposed to pay for medical expenses, rather than lend money for them, the state generally cannot recover its expenses from the injured beneficiary. The statute takes a different approach, though, when a third party caused the injury and so is legally responsible to pay the beneficiary's expenses. In that case, the state is supposed to "seek reimbursement" from the third party; the statute (in 42 U.S.C. § 1396k(a)(1)(A)) broadly assigns to the state all of the beneficiary's rights "to payment for medical care from any third party," a phrase that easily could include payments made for past or future medical expenses. Other provisions, though, including 42 U.S.C. 1396a(a)(25)(H), provide that the state acquires those rights only to the extent that "payment has been made under the State plan for medical assistance." The general question is whether those provisions describe different rights of the state (with broader and narrower coverage) or a single scheme of rights all limited to medical expenses for which the state already has provided payment.
Several of the justices focused closely on the language in subsection (a)(1)(A), reaching all rights to "payment for medical care." For example, Justice Elena Kagan (talking to counsel for the injured Giannina Gallardo) commented that it seemed more sensible to read the statute as describing the kinds of things that Medicaid covers – a "service distinction" rather than a "past/future distinction." Justice Stephen Breyer went so far as to say that Gallardo's problem in challenging Florida's right to reimburse itself out of settlements allocated to future medical expenses is that the statute simply "says it can" take that money. Justice Amy Coney Barrett's comments suggested that she shares that perspective. For those justices, the language supports Florida's view that it is entitled to take all medical-expense recoveries, whether for past or future expenses, up to the amount that the state already has paid for past medical expenses.
As the argument progressed, though, several justices displayed increasing dissatisfaction with the broad implications of that reading. Among other things, Florida's heavy reliance on the unadorned reference to "medical expenses" implies that the state can take a tort settlement directed at medical expenses, not only if they are future medical expenses that the state has not yet paid (and might never pay), but even if they are medical expenses not covered by Medicaid. That view was particularly unpalatable for Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who commented at one point with incredulity:
That seems extraordinary … what you're reading into the statute, an anti-lien statute, that permits you only to get an assignment of what you have paid for. Now you're saying the assignment … is incredibly broader than that, [that it reaches the tort recovery] whether you paid for it or not, whether you were required to pay for it or not, and [whether it is past or] future expenses, that you're assigned the individual's entire rights. That's what you're telling me?
Although not so emphatic in their disagreement, other justices sent signals that they might balk at such a broad reading. Kagan, for example, joined Sotomayor in doubting the possibility that Congress could have intended for states to recover from payments for medical expenses that Medicaid wouldn't cover.
Breyer was not so direct, but was plainly uncomfortable with the state's "higgledy-piggledy" reading, which he compared unfavorably to Gallardo's request that the court interpret the provisions "consistently with the whole spirit of the thing, which is to leave the money with the Medicaid victim." And even Justice Brett Kavanaugh pointed out that the state was unable to defend a pure reading of the statute that did not accept the importance of "context" in interpretation.
In the end, given the relatively low stakes of this case, the justices well might resolve this in discussion and issue a unanimous or near-unanimous decision. About the only thing that is clear from the argument is that Sotomayor is never going to agree with the position of the state.

An initial attempt at a spatially structured stock assessment for the South African hake resource including movement based on a gravity model.
The movement model for assessing the South African hake populations which was presented to last year's review workshop is simplified by applying the "gravity" method to model movement. This reduces the numbering of movement parameters estimated from 234 to 68. This results in recent biomass estimates which are slightly more precise and somewhat lower in both absolute terms and relative to estimated pre-exploitation levels. Areas for possible future research are discussed briefly.

Washington Post Appears To Want To Blame Trump For Iranian Repression
This is one of those editorial pieces where one would say "how would they have written this about Barack Obama?"
Iran's repression of protests was an answer to the Trump administration
THE TRUMP administration has been citing a massive wave of protests in Iran as evidence that its "maximum pressure" strategy against the Islamic republic is working. In one sense, that's probably true. Sanctions against Iranian oil exports helped force the regime to raise gasoline prices by 50 percent or more on Nov. 15, which in turn triggered, by the government's own account, demonstrations by up to 200,000 people in 29 of the country's 31 provinces, including attacks on 50 military bases. That could be the biggest popular rebellion since the overthrow of the shah 40 years ago.
The regime responded with brutal and uncompromising repression. Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces gunned down protesters, in at least one case with machine gun fire. According to Amnesty International, at least 208 people were killed in less than a week, and the real figure could be far higher. The Trump administration claims it could be more than 1,000.
The carnage was likely the result of the regime's conviction that it needed to prove it was not vulnerable to collapse. "Iranian officials have noted . . . that the speed with which they were able to quiet the streets, regardless of the cost, should demonstrate to Washington that they are in full control," said a report this week by the International Crisis Group. It remains to be seen whether the unrest really has been quelled — there were reports of new protests in recent days — and, if so, for how long.
But if President Trump's objectives are, as he says, to force Iran to renegotiate the nuclear deal he scrapped and prevent further aggression against its neighbors, "maximum pressure" is not working . The Crisis Group report says it's possible that, despite its rhetoric, the regime has been so shaken by the protests that it will look for a way to settle with the United States. If so, an avenue is open: Earlier this year, French President Emmanuel Macron appeared close to persuading Mr. Trump, if not Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to consider an accord under which Iran would resume observance of the nuclear deal's terms and agree to renegotiate some of them in exchange for sanctions relief.
So, the brutal theocratic dictatorship, based on hardcore Islamist doctrine, is cracking down and the Washington Post Editorial Board seems to want to aim its blame at Trump and his team? Really?
Hard-liners in the administration, such as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, clearly hope that the protests are a sign that U.S. pressure will trigger revolution and regime change in Tehran. Though that might be a desirable outcome, history as well as the events of the past month suggest it remains unlikely. The administration would be wiser to use this moment of Iranian weakness to offer a path of de-escalation.
Really. The screed could easily have been titled "The Iranian Government Is Really Mean But OMG Orange Man Bad." Does anyone think that Obama would have been supported and the ire of the article aimed at the Iranian leaders if the PBO was still in office? Or, heck, Hillary in office? Just another case of the hardcore leftist media bias.

Putin has told his poodle bitch Trump to go easy on Iran which is Russia's ally
Iran's enrichment of uranium which Obama had stopped is now bank on
formwiz says:
And where do we get this piece of science fiction?
Trump is encouraging the resistance to the mullahs.
Which is a Hell of a lot better than Zippy did.
Elwood P. Dowd says:
TEACH typed: Does anyone think that Obama would have been supported and the ire of the article aimed at the Iranian leaders
Of course, President Obama didn't engineer turmoil in Iran as trump did.
Well, it just shows how ignorant some people are.
Trump engineered nothing. The people in Iran are fed up with the corrupt, repressive rule of the mullahs.
And Zippy refused to support the people of Iran in their fight for freedom while Trump has.
It also shows how some people are complete and total liars.

Julien Epaillard and Amy Graham went to the top in the Grand Palais. Photo (c) World of Showjumping.
Saturday's team competition Le Saut Hermès in the Grand Palais went to Amy Graham and Julien Epaillard. The competition had ten couples in it that qualified through Friday's big class, lining up to jump two rounds over a 1.60 course that proved to be tricky enough with the yellow triple combination at 8a, b and c towards the in-gate claiming the most victims in round one as plenty of the riders had to see a pole fall to the ground here.
The first pair to set a double clear round was Luciana Diniz on the lovely veteran Winningmood (Darco x Cassini) and Ludger Beerbaum on the younger but fantastic jumping Colestus (Cornet Obolensky x Stakkato), that was on the winning team in the same competition last year under Marco Kutscher. Two pairs later Amy Graham went clear on the big jumping Bella Baloubet (Baloubet D.Ro x Landadel), as did her team-mate Julien Epaillard on the lovely Cristallo A LM (Casall x Corofino).
The couples breathing these two teams in the neck consisted of Katharina Offel who went clear in the first round on Charlie (Cornet Obolensky x Potsdam), together with Daniel Bluman on Conconcreto Believe (Ukato x Burggraaf) who had an unlucky rail down into the triple. Christian Ahlmann and Maiju Mallat were also on a four penalty score, after Ahlmann went clear and Mallat had the a-element of the triple down.
With such closeness on top nobody could afford any mistakes in round two, where a shortened track waited for the riders. As nobody on the top four teams made a single mistake, it was all down to the time. Best of those on four faults were Offel and Bluman who slotted into third position on the penalty score from round one, with a time of 77.83 after round two.
Amy Graham and Julien Epaillard were the fastest of all though, with Graham producing a blistering fast round on her stunning grey partner – and the two times added together put the pair on 76.12 seconds. Luciana Diniz and Ludger Beerbaum had the advantage to be last to go, but could not catch the Australian-French couple and had to settle for runner-up position.

SON Moves to Enforce Standards
In a bid to ensure quality products in the country, Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) is partnering with the Association of Nigerian licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA) and electronic dealers to achieve an effective and speedier service delivery at the port.
The Director General of SON, Mr. Osita Aboloma, made this assurance known during an interactive session with journalists. He described the partnership as a welcomed development and in line with the mandate of SON to facilitate trade at the port.
He assured that the partnership would benefit all parties as long as they remained within the limits of law, adding that the automation of SON's services is flawless and reduces the turnaround time for clearing of goods.
"By the way, I will let you know that we have automation in respect to products registration, and we also have automation in respect to pre-shipment document, that's SONCAP. It allows you to get our documents certifications before you ship goods to Nigeria. It's a clearing documents per say. So, when somebody deliberately misinformed the public that he incurred demurrage because of SONCAP, that amount to false claim.
"Because you cannot ship in your goods into Nigeria without some form of qualify certifications. It makes our job easier without compromising the quality of goods that comes into Nigeria," Aboloma noted.
Osita also explained that the agency's partnership with electronic dealers would, "give them the benefit of doubt that they will do the right things. But, basically, coming under association does not exonerate people from deliberate attempt to reduce the quality of the products that are being sold to Nigerian consumers.
"Therefore, we will continue to hold them collectively and individually liable for nonconformity to our standards. We have raised the bar, and informed them accordingly. Because, we have discovered that most of the products that are sold in Alaba market are life threatening to the health of consumers. And anything that is not up to international best practice or Nigerian minimum standards will be seriously frowned at."
Reacting to the director general's comments, the National President of the Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA), Mr. Iju Tony Nwabunike, said the association is partnering with SON in the area of ease of doing business and on how to make things work seamlessly in the port.
According to Nwabunike, the federal government through the Vice President of Nigeria, Prof. Yomi Osibajo, was championing the campaign on the ease of doing business.
"So, what we want is a situation where all the agencies in the port and stakeholders like us will be working in tandem to achieve that result.
"Therefore, we seek to draw the attention of the federal government through SON to some issues relating to border line products between SON/NAFDAC on products such as diaper, engine oil, packaging product, cotton buds, etc." Nwabunike said

The Galapagos Conservation Trust (GCT) is a UK registered charity that was founded in 1995 with two key aims: to raise awareness of the issues facing the Islands and to raise much needed funds to support the expanding conservation work. At GCT we recognise that there is no quick fix. Saving Galápagos requires a holistic approach, simultaneously tackling the current challenges and threats whilst seeking to put longer term solutions in place. In order to achieve this GCT has developed 15 Steps to Help Save Galápagos and supports projects that fall within the three broad areas of Social Issues, Island Restoration and Climate Change. Educating the UK about Galápagos and conservation is a key part of GCT's work.
The Gulbenkian Galápagos Artists' Residency Programme builds awareness of the Islands and our work in a compelling and creative way. It has gathered completely different perspectives on a subject of profound importance to human intellectual and cultural understanding and created materials to help celebrate and raise public awareness of conservation and cultural issues on the Galápagos Islands.


Is the wall you're designing flat and boring? A window or door or climbing plant would be out of place? Why not try a niche, like this marble one, to be found in the courtyard of Istabul's Blue Mosque? With the word deriving from Latin nidus, meaning nest, the architectural niche has been around for about 2000 years, and still works as a way to break up monotony, disperse light and shadow in different ways, house books or statues or birds, create a warm and sheltered space in the sun, or just remain empty and, if you're very lucky, once in a while being occupied by cute girls eating turkish delight.
