Exporters of electrical & electronic products to member-states of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), including Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan, need to meet a range of EAEU requirements.
The Customs Union (CU), formed in 2010, is harmonizing existing national standards (GOST-R, TR Russian Federation, ST-B (BLR) and GOST-K) for product certification and replacing them with new technical regulations (TR) – known as either TR CU, or TR EAC.
In accordance with Custom Union Regulation 768, that came into force on February 15, 2013, for specific product categories which fall into the EAC certification scope, the original requirements of GOST-R, STB and GOST-K will be replaced by EAC certification. In Russia, some product categories, such as rechargeable batteries, do not yet fall within the scope of EAC certification , therefore GOST-R compliance is still required.
The EAC mark should be affixed to the product and packaging, and its height should be no less than 5 mm.
According to EAEU Commission Decision No. 154, dated November 15, 2016, the Applicant for the CoC/DoC can only be a legal entity registered in the territory of the Customs Union (EAEU) – local manufacturer, retailer or an authorized Local Representative.
EAC certificates are valid per batch, or for a period of up to five years. An initial factory inspection is required before certification for COC (serial production), anda surveillance inspection is required to maintain its validity.
Thanks to its unrivalled track record and experience in the Customs Union markets, SGS can provide you a complete service package covering all relevant EAEU certification requirements for your product category.

Notable tricks! How to expand or lengthen clothing: options and ideas for implementation.
Situation where a beautiful and convenient subjectWardrobe becomes too cramped, everyone is familiar. This may be due to weight gain, pregnancy, and the wrong choice of washing or drying clothes. But the favorite thing can be changed so that it will not only sit well, but will also acquire a new original look.
The thing is wide, and the sleeves become narrow? Use Self-made inserts. They can be anything: lace, embroidered or from contrasting fabric.
If the favorite thing has become close in width - lice side inserts. Material for them can be selected plain or under the color of the main product.
Contrasting, different in texture and color of the inserts will not only help to expand the blouse, but also become an interesting element of the decor.
That's how you can increase the size of your favorite blouse or tunic. For this, add inserts on the back or shelf of the product.
With pants, follow the same pattern: use side inserts along the entire length. Both from the outside and from the side of the inner seam.
Recently comfortable jeans began to put pressure on the stomach? Make insertions in the belt area along the side or back seam.
But the wonderful idea of increasing the dress in all respects. Already want the same!
In our time to repair and lengthen old things is not really relevant: in the heyday of the mass market it is easier to buy new clothes than Redo the old. But sometimes it's too bad to throw out a favorite thing, I want to update it or refresh it. To shorten clothes more often is not difficult, but to lengthen it nicely is a bit more complicated.
This is probably one of the most common ways. It looks great! Add a strip of fabric or lace at the bottom of the product. Color and material depends on your imagination.
Fashion trend of this season - Transparent fabric insert. Place it on the hem of a skirt or a light summer dress.
And this is even more Radical transformation of trousers. Openwork inserts are placed not at the bottom, but in the middle of the product. To enhance the effect can be decorated with lace pockets and belt. I personally like this option very much.
For girls who love sports style in clothes, knitted cuffs will be an excellent option for changing the shape of trousers.
If we talk about blouses and sweaters, then there are a lot of options. The most popular of these is the addition of lace inserts at the bottom of the product.
Looking at this photo, I immediately wanted the same summer t-shirt. For rework, you need to make a contrasting fabric insert in the middle of the product.
As you see, you do not always need to throw out a tightA blouse or a too short skirt, especially if it concerns your favorite clothes. Use these simple, but resourceful tricks and stay in the trend!
Do not forget to share useful information with your girlfriends!

17 July 2006 / SF News / Jon
Yeah, It's Always Sunny in San Francisco-- What Of It?
This morning while drinking our coffee and surfing the Web, we went to Deadspin and saw this little blurb about Giants' fans treatment of Phillies pitcher Brett Myers. Myers was cited for taking a few swings at his wife and in typical jock-land style, was treated by kid gloves by his employers and the rest of Major League Baseball. Yesterday was Myers first day back from his tiny, tiny suspension and we guess didn't get booed vociferously enough for some people. Thus the Deadspin post, snarking on us Giants fans. That's followed by the usual snide comments about hippies, overwrought political correctness, and too many lame-ass corporate fans.
All this is fine and well except for the fact Myers did get booed. Pretty loudly too. Not Tommy Lasorda booed, but booed. How do we know this? Because we were at the game. And because we kept on wondering why Myers was getting booed until we remembered that one of the Phillies pitchers did a bad thing and the pitcher who did the bad thing was on the mound for the Phils.
So why didn't we boo as loudly as we apparently were supposed to? Well, you know how people in the East Coast keep on telling us West Coasters that if it doesn't happen on the North Eastern sea board, it doesn't matter to them? Well, two can play at that game-- if it doesn't happen within the Bay Area, it doesn't matter to us. Myers is merely a mediocre pitcher on a mediocre team-- why should we notice? It's not like what happened to Myers was that played up in the media either-- we only knew about it because Deadspin wrote about it. As far as we know, it wasn't plastered all over ESPN and endlessly discussed on "PTI" or "Around the Horn" (dear God, Larry Brown just spoke to the NY Post again!!!!!) or talked about that much in the local news media either. As it happened to somebody who doesn't play for the Yankees or Sox, nobody cares as much. And considering we dropped two more at home, our bullpen blew yet another game, and WWIII just broke out, we got bigger things to worry about than bringing justice to some random pitcher. No, we don't boo like they do on the East Coast but, well, we don't have winters or an overabundance of snotty Ivy Leaguers either. There are reasons why most of the people in the Bay Area are made up of people who originally came from the East Coast.
Besides, what were we supposed to do, greet Myers with pitchforks and torches? And isn't making fun of the fans at Phone Company Park our jobs?
PS-- if you haven't seen it, "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is an evil gem of a TV show. It's brils.

New changes on my map (not posted yet):
the eastern queens extensions I took off & replaced them with bus services (of course). the is now extended again to Staten island all times, trains pushed back to 2 avenue weekdays (like the usual pattern), same as always, but pushed back to church avenue all times.
trains make the usual stops it makes now, but extended to WPR, only to run weekdays only.
trains only run between van Cortland park east, Bronx & coney island Brooklyn, via 3 avenue (Bx), 2 avenue, & Bway express (via bridge) & via Brighton local (stopping at dekalb).
trains run only between forest hills & st. George Staten island all times via Bway, 4th avenue express & queens Blvd local (skipping dekalb all but nights).
(X) moved from the Bway line to the 10th avenue line, to coney island via 2nd avenue (Brkln) & sea gate.
switched:
express (but nights)
extension to the Bronx discontinued, instead they run via the LGA airport line to flushing-main street
No More (M2)* service via the 4th avenue line, only serves the red hook tunnel with the (P)(X) (Y) & *
*Rush hours only
trains run all times between Bway, Bronx & St. George Staten Island all times via 8th avenue express weekdays, other times local.
lines back to their own terminals.
the is recolored pink & runs between rockaway park, queens & Riverbank state park, Manhattan all times.
trains extended to St. George, Staten island.
trains are also extended to St. George via west St. (New York 9A).
trains now extended to the Bowling green-South ferry terminal.
I know this is alot of change, but you will see all the changes in my map soon!
Guest lance25
I'll hold off on my full critique of your service changes until you release your map, but I feel that there are some glaring issues with some of the changes. For example, having the run express and the local means that trains would have to cross each other north of 96 St. IIRC, I believe that what you suggested was implemented directly after 9/11 with the running express to 14 St, which delayed service on the line. Similarly with the extension to Bowling Green, unless the section between Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall and Bowling Green is rebuilt for 4 tracks, the , and running on a two-track line will cause serious congestion to that part, if not the entire line.
You are right about the congestion, also there's gonna be an (8) line, so there will be 4 tracks running south to bowling green. the thing confuses me alot, what I rather do is build some switches south of 96 street where trains can switch off to, so that trains can have space heading uptown or downtown.
This is the draft of my map, do all critiques, comments & concerns:
Just remember this is a draft!
NX Express 292

IDK, but I think an extension to the SI Mall would be nice for commuters.
Ok, I just extended the train to the mall
Assuming the has its current frequency of 6 TPH, something else needs to go to Lefferts. If the has a normal headway, then that's okay.
What do you mean by that?
Ok guys, sorry for bumping, I'm showing my second part of the draft. the status of my map is 82% complete.
Remember, this is my second draft, read my map status!

Is the running via Broadway or (Q6) via 6 Ave?
oh thank god, i dont have to ride that slow S79 bus no more, lol.
Currently, the runs 6 TPH during the rush hours. However, Lefferts Blvd, 111 St, and 104 Street need more train service.
In other words: Either increase frequency or send some other train to Lefferts as well.
Sorry it's my mistake! the is running via the Bway line, not the (Q6), it's replaced by the .

Now that you're finished, I feel that I can give an accurate critique of your map. First let me state that people in the Bronx and Brooklyn would not be clamoring for more service anymore. With that said however, there aren't many changes for Eastern Queens, an area that would surely benefit from more public transportation.
There are some other serious problems with this map also.
The sheer length of most of the lines. Some of these lines make the look like the .
the & extensions. Even if the were to extend a line, it wouldn't be a numbered line due to spatial constraints.
Like I told you before, the can't run local with the as the express. Trains will have to cross in front of each other at the 96th Street Junction as the express tracks are aligned with Lenox Avenue.
The V extension to Parsons/Archer. Archer Avenue can barely handle the going to the Jamaica Ctr, especially during the rush hour. I highly doubt it would be able to handle two lines going there simultaneously.
the running express and the running local through 179 St. If I'm not mistaken, this was tried sometime during the construction of 63rd Street and it didn't work as people didn't want to take a local. (This also applies to your extension of the to Lefferts Blvd.) Also, if the runs express, it can't stop at Van Wyck Blvd or 75 Av as there are no switches in that area.
As I mentioned in a previous update of your map, it would be better to link all of your lower Manhattan lines at Wall St/Broad St/etc. as they're closer to each other, rather than at Bowling Green/Whitehall St-South Ferry. This also brings into question your out-of-system transfer at Fulton St. Few people would utilize that transfer if they can go one or two stops down and transfer there.
I have to also question where your west Brooklyn line is geographically because looking at Google Maps, it would like it follows the Gowanus Expressway, which for the most part is one block away from the Fourth Avenue line.
It's not all bad though. I do like the new H line. It would be nice to have a line that runs into Queens without having to go through midtown Manhattan first.
T to Dyre Avenue 1,435
T to Dyre Avenue
Location: Whitestone, Queens
I'm also surpised that there isn't any extension of service into eastern Queens. Surely an extension to Laurelton or Queens Village or a extension to Bayside would go a long way towards improving many commutes (including mine).

Im sorry, pardon my French but, what the heck are you talking about? does anybody know what he is talking about? not to be rude, but the & the train are very far from each other in the Bronx, umm the last time I noticed the runs from queens to south ferry (without delays on certain parts, plus my south ferry station on the lines has 4 tracks), its like 168 street on the (X) lines on my map, so I don't think there would be delays. also the (8) problem to bowling green is solved, the whole line runs 4 tracks from 125 street to bowling green, so no problems.
Sorry about my words i got them confused i said if you CAN contunie to Queens The train Would go faster and can have a train.tell me if i am saying anything wrong.Hey besides look at my new subway map youll see suprises! - (O)
You have a subway map? let me see it. I wanna see the changes you would make to it. Oh I know what you mean about the (P)(X) thing, no they are in different tunnels, they are not sharing tracks, so there would be no delays.
Ok Thanks for telling me that.Um by the way E-local I didnt finsh it yet its just 85% complet so you will just see the service changes of the trains i just used some of yours if you dont mind.And if you see anything wrong just tell me. (I) (O)

The Haliburton Broadcasting Group was a Canadian group of FM radio stations, located primarily in smaller markets in Ontario. The company was purchased by Vista Broadcast Group in 2012.

History
The company was named for the Haliburton region in Central Ontario, where majority owner and president Christopher Grossman, a longtime radio sales manager, trainer and executive, was also a hotelier before purchasing his first radio station, CFBG in Bracebridge, in 1997.

HBG expanded greatly into Northern Ontario in 1999 by acquiring several stations from the Pelmorex Radio Network. In 2004, they also acquired CKNR in Elliot Lake, a station which had also once been part of Pelmorex but was sold to North Channel Broadcasting in 1996.

At its peak the company owned 24 English stations, mostly branded Moose FM. Some other stations such as CFBK-FM Huntsville use other brandings. They were generally formatted with adult contemporary or hot adult contemporary music; "Moose FM" Timmins was a country station before moving to adult hits. The company also formerly operated two French stations, branded as CHYC (pronounced like the French word chic), over a number of transmitters, but these were sold to Le5 Communications in 2008.

Haliburton's head office was in Toronto, Ontario, although most of its operations were based in Haliburton. Toronto-based Slaight Communications owned a significant minority interest in the group, which was not included in that company's 2007 sale of most of its broadcasting assets to Astral Media.

In 2006 and 2007, the company also expanded into Southwestern Ontario for the first time, launching a new station in Kincardine as a partial owner, and acquiring an existing station in Haldimand.

On May 20, 2010, Haliburton applied to the CRTC to acquire CJJM-FM in Espanola, which was owned by Joco Communications and received approval on August 12, 2010. Formerly branded as Joco Radio, the station was rebranded as Moose FM in September 2010. The company also announced subsequent deals to acquire CJJM's former sister station CFSF-FM in Sturgeon Falls, as well as CJCS and CHGK-FM in Stratford; these transactions were approved by the CRTC on February 21, 2011.

In late 2010, the company applied to buy two Niagara Falls radio stations, CKEY-FM and CFLZ-FM. Haliburton received approval on June 8, 2011.

On April 23, 2012 Vista Broadcast Group, which owns 38 radio stations in western Canada, announced a deal to acquire Haliburton Broadcasting, in cooperation with Westerkirk Capital, for $32.34 million. The transaction was approved by the CRTC on October 19, 2012.

In 2021, Grossman began a new company, Local Radio Lab, acquiring several Ontario stations owned by My Broadcasting Corporation.

Strategy and competition
Haliburton's strategy has been based on the conversion of former AM radio stations to FM, adoption of generally more contemporary-oriented music formats, modest staffing levels, and economies of scale through shared voice tracking, production and advertising sales across the regional group.

CHNO in Sudbury was an AM oldies station when Haliburton acquired it from Pelmorex; a stipulation in the CRTC's approval of the transaction allowed it to move to FM. In 2000, it relaunched at 103.9 as a CHR/Top 40 station branded as Z103. After a short time, it was sold in 2001 to the larger Newcap Broadcasting for significantly more than it had been acquired for. The CRTC, wary of potential "license trafficking," accepted the sale on the grounds that Haliburton had been losing money with CHNO, and would reinvest the proceeds into its contemporaneous purchase of CKLP in Parry Sound.

CHMT in Timmins launched in 2001 as an adult contemporary station as Mix 93, but soon faltered under competition from CKGB, formerly an AM country station which adopted the "EZ Rock" adult contemporary brand and moved to FM shortly after CHMT launched. CHMT flipped to country about a year later, and eventually relented as had CHNO, abandoning its own sales staff and sharing sales with the two Rogers Media stations in Timmins.

On March 17, 2005, the CRTC published notice of an application Haliburton filed in 2004 to launch an FM country station in North Bay, which was approved on August 11, 2005. However, the North Bay station launched as an adult hits format in the summer of 2006, instead of the country music format the station originally proposed.

On April 7, 2005, they published notice of an application also filed in 2004 to launch an FM "adult contemporary rock" station in Haliburton itself. This license was also subsequently granted, and the station launched in 2006.

On August 4, 2010, Haliburton applied to operate a new FM radio station in Barry's Bay to operate at 106.5 MHz with an adult contemporary format. Haliburton received CRTC approval on January 12, 2011.

On December 13, 2010, Haliburton applied to operate a new FM radio station in Kemptville. The new station will operate on 97.5 MHz with an adult contemporary format. Haliburton received CRTC approval on April 21, 2011.

On May 19, 2011, Haliburton applied to operate a new FM radio station in Prescott. The new station would operate at 107.9 MHz with a hot adult contemporary format. Haliburton received CRTC approval on November 10, 2011.

On November 9, 2011, Haliburton submitted applications to the CRTC to acquire CJFB-FM in Bolton and CFGM-FM in Caledon. This was approved on March 14, 2012.

Sale of holdings
In May 2008, Haliburton announced a deal to sell the CHYC stations to Le5 Communications, a firm owned by Sudbury lawyer Paul Lefebvre, for a purchase price of $425,000. The deal was approved by the CRTC on October 31, 2008.

On July 28, 2008, HBG announced that it had sold 12 stations to Newcap Broadcasting, subject to CRTC approval, for a price of $18.95 million. The Kincardine and Haldimand stations were not part of the deal, and their status was not disclosed at the time of the Newcap announcement. Newcap's formal application to acquire the stations was published for public hearings by the CRTC on November 13, 2008, but was subsequently withdrawn in January 2009. Newcap CEO Rob Steele indicated that in light of the credit market crisis, the company did not feel that it was the right time to increase its debt load.

In February 2009, Haliburton was part of a tentative deal to sell CIYN in Kincardine to My Broadcasting Corporation.

On October 19, 2012, the CRTC approved Vista Broadcast Group's application for authority to acquire Haliburton's AM and FM radio stations located in Ontario.

Stations
At the time of Haliburton's acquisition by Vista in 2012, the company owned the following stations:
 Bancroft - CHMS-FM
 Barry's Bay - CHBY-FM
 Bolton - CJFB-FM
 Bracebridge - CFBG-FM
 Caledon - CFGM-FM
 Cochrane - CHPB-FM
 Elliot Lake - CKNR-FM
 Espanola - CJJM-FM
 Fort Erie - CFLZ-FM
 Haldimand - CKJN-FM
 Haliburton - CFZN-FM
 Huntsville - CFBK-FM
 Iroquois Falls - CFIF-FM
 Kapuskasing - CKAP-FM
 Kemptville - CKVV-FM
 Niagara Falls - CJED-FM
 North Bay - CFXN-FM
 Parry Sound - CKLP-FM
 Prescott - CKPP-FM
 Stratford - CJCS-FM, CHGK-FM
 Sturgeon Falls - CFSF-FM
 Timmins - CHMT-FM

Former stations
The following stations were owned by Haliburton in the past, but were sold to other owners prior to the company's final acquisition:
 Kincardine - CIYN-FM (sold to My Broadcasting Corporation in 2009)
 Sudbury - CHNO-FM (sold to Newcap Broadcasting in 2001), CHYC-FM (sold to Le5 Communications in 2008)
 Timmins - CHYK-FM (sold to Le5 Communications in 2008)

Sellier & Bellot Introduces 6.5 Creedmoor Ammunition to US Market
By Judith Weber
February 28, 2018 (Minneapolis, MN) – Sellier & Bellot (S&B) announces an all-new 6.5 Creedmoor round for range and plinking use. This fills a hole in the market for reliable, cost-effective 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition.
Dating back to 1825, S&B has a long history of manufacturing high-quality ammunition. The new 6.5 Creedmoor round is a solid performer, offering reliable function in bolt or semi-auto rifles. S&B selected a time-tested 140 grain, full metal jacket, lead core 6.5mm bullet. It's loaded into a premium, Boxer primed, brass case suitable for reloading.
"There is great demand for 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition. However, many of the currently available options are cost-prohibitive," said Mike Fisher, Vice President, US Sales and Marketing. "We developed something here that allows more people to get out and shoot their rifles. It's ideal for training or a fun day of plinking without breaking the bank."
Sellier & Bellot has already started shipping this new round. Look for it at your favorite S&B retailer.

Jennifer Hudson's Winnie Mandela is finally coming to the big screen. The Oscar-winning actress plays the ex-wife of Nelson Mandela in the T.D. Jakes-presented biopic, which was filmed in spring 2010.
The movie follows the life of the political activist as she grows up in South Africa, marries Mandela (played by Terrence Howard), and campaigns for his release from prison.
J-Hud also stars in the holiday musical drama Black Nativity, due in November, and has been in the studio with RedOne, Salaam Remi, and Pharrell working on her third album.
Winnie Mandela opens in U.S. theaters on September 6. Watch the official trailer below.


Hamsters need a lot of exercise, so they'll need a wheel in their cage. A silent wheel will make sure your hamster doesn't keep you up at night. You can also use a hamster ball to allow your hamster to exercise outside of the cage.


If you're planning an intimate getaway with your romantic partner or a simple family vacation, you can't beat an oceanfront hotel. Oceanfront hotels might be a little out of the way, and they might be a little more expensive, but they offer big advantages over hotels in the city or farther inland.
There's a good reason many people set their alarm clocks to play the sound of waves crashing against the sea shore. The rhythmic sound of the ocean helps cancel out unwanted noises and provides much-needed relaxation to help people go to sleep. Aside from the calming sound, air quality is actually higher near the ocean. According to the Daily Mail, sea air is charged with negative ions. Those ions improve your lungs' ability to process oxygen. That means after a night at a seaside or oceanfront hotel, you'll wake up feeling refreshed and ready to attack the day.
Whether you're planning a trip with your long-term spouse or a new partner, nothing says romance quite like a sweeping view of the ocean. When Travel & Leisure ranked the top 50 romantic getaways in the United States, it included dozens of coastal spots like Islamadora, Florida and Maui, Hawaii. If you're looking for a romantic getaway for a proposal or just a nice weekend with the one you love, you can't beat the ocean. Oceans have a moderating influence on the climate, so weather at oceanfront hotels is more reliable. Additionally, oceanfront hotels typically experience much less light pollution than urban centers, making them a great spot for stargazing. Travel & Leisure suggests that the beach hotels in Hawaii may offer the best stargazing in the United States.
If you know your way around a tuna steak or a sushi roll, you know how much freshness matters to your culinary experience. Oceanfront hotels have a big advantage, even over hotels located in the same city but further inland. Many oceanfront hotels buy their seafood directly off the boat, ensuring the freshest, highest-quality meal you can find anywhere. Restaurants located even a few miles inland have to wait hours for fishing boats to offload their catch and drive into town. Plus, eating a great piece of salmon while gazing out over the ocean just tastes better.
Before you book your next vacation, check out the oceanfront hotel options in the area. You'll eat better, you'll sleep better, and your partner will be impressed by the romantic gesture. Talk to experts like North Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce & Convention and Visitors Bureau for more information.

Newsletter: Essential California: Gunfire at an L.A. school shakes a community
Parents look to reunite with their children after Thursday's shooting at Sal Castro Middle School.
By Benjamin Oreskes , Shelby Grad
Good morning, and welcome to the Essential California newsletter. It's Friday, Feb. 2, and here's what's happening across California:
Gunfire shakes a community
Authorities are trying to sort out the chain of events that lead to a shooting inside a classroom of a Westlake middle school that left two students hospitalized, two others and a 30-year-old woman injured, and resulted in the arrest of a 12-year-old girl. Los Angeles police do not believe that the shooting was intentional, spokesman Josh Rubenstein said Thursday evening. But it does renew a debate on safety at the Los Angeles Unified School District.

Trump takes on California desert protections
The Trump administration is threatening to scrap a major Obama-era agreement that sought to protect millions of acres of the California desert by placing sensitive areas off limits to major solar- and wind-energy installations. The Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan covers more than 10 million acres and was designed to guide energy facilities to parcels where they are least likely to cause environmental damage. The administration's announcement that it will reconsider the plan touched off an immediate backlash. Los Angeles Times
Mass transit suffers with Californians on car-buying spree
The vast majority of public transit agencies across Southern California, from modest municipal carriers to the West Coast's largest bus system, have watched their ridership numbers fall off a cliff over the last five years. With data revealing multiyear decreases of up to 25%, experts and officials have stopped debating whether the decline exists, and have instead turned their attention to why. One answer: California is on a car-buying spree. Los Angeles Times

Today's California memory comes from Linda Ward:
"When I was about 9 years old (in the late 1950s), I would spend time with my cousin in Hollywood. We spent all day exploring on Hollywood Boulevard, playing in the Hollywood Bowl (which we had all to ourselves), and hiking in the hills exploring the grounds of all these amazing homes. Our days always ended the same: waiting for Frank Sinatra. My cousin was born in love with Frank Sinatra. She discovered that he owned the Villa Capri restaurant off Highland. We sat on the curb in front of the restaurant for hours waiting to see him. As the dinner guests started arriving, the maitre d' kept coming out to see if we were still there. Much to his dismay, there we were. We didn't believe him when he told us Mr. Sinatra was not expected. He would get so upset, he would give us money to go away. We never did get to see Ol' Blue Eyes, but the anticipation was so much fun."

One of my favourite pizza's has to be the original Marguerita pizza. You cannot find a better combination despite its simplicity. With the right crust, the perfect sauce, fresh cheese and just picked basil, nothing compares. This is one one pizza where less is more, it's a pizza you don't mess with, it's a pizza to die for.
4 slices of Buffalo Mozzarella cheese.
A few fresh basil leaves.
Place the dough pizza base on a well floured bench.
Spoon the sauce from the centre outwards. leaving a 2 cm crust.
Break the Mozzarella into pieces and scatter over the sauce.
Slide onto palette and slide into pizza oven.
Rotate the pizza 180 degrees half way through cooking.
Remove and top with fresh basil leaves.
Less is more, do not over do it with the cheese or tomato base.

Q: Only rotate ActionBar and preserve other views Is it possible when a device is rotated to only rotate the ActionBar and leave the views untouched.
My use case is a simple drawing app where the content should not be rotated but the chrome of the UI (ie the ActionBar) should be.
Thanks

A: I believe you have basically two options:

*

*When the device is rotated, store away enough information (see onSaveInstanceState) so that you can restore your app's view(s) in such a way as to make it appear to the user as if nothing has changed.

*Set your activity to ignore rotation configuration change events and then do absolutely everything manually (see onConfigurationChanged).

Personally, I think you will find it much less frustrating to figure out an appropriate way to use option 1 rather than having to deal with the much more complicated option 2.

Els déus inaccessibles és una novel·la de Miquel Àngel Riera Nadal publicada el 1987.

Narra l'amor clandestí d'un capellà rural per un jovenet a través de la col·lisió entre el jurament religiós i la força de la passió. el personatge idealitza falsejant una simple passió sexual. Des de la sincera intimitat del diari el protagonista descriu l'experiència de l'enamorament amb l'atractiu tens i inquietat del desig no correspost. El personatge fa de l'amor un refugi aliè a la realitat. La tècnica utilitzada destaca per una prosa llatinitxada amb un tempo molt lent i reflexions en espiral més ornamentals que profundes.

S'ha dit que el to reflexiu de la novel·la aproxima l'autor a Thomas Mann, Miguel de Unamuno, Marcel Proust i Marguerite Yourcenar.

Va ser premi Nacional de la Literatura Catalana de la Generalitat.

Лоренс Терри младший (; ) — американский гребец, выступавший за сборную США по академической гребле в конце 1960-х — начале 1970-х годов. Серебряный призёр летних Олимпийских игр в Мюнхене, победитель и призёр многих регат национального значения.

Биография
Лоренс Терри родился 12 апреля 1946 года в городе Конкорд, штат Массачусетс.

Занимался академической греблей во время учёбы в Гарвардском университете, состоял в местной гребной команде «Гарвард Кримсон», неоднократно принимал участие в различных студенческих соревнованиях. Позже проходил подготовку в лодочном клубе «Юнион» в Бостоне.

В 1968 году вошёл в основной состав американской национальной сборной и благодаря череде удачных выступлений удостоился права защищать честь страны на летних Олимпийских играх 1968 года в Мехико — стартовал здесь в зачёте распашных безрульных четвёрок, занял в финале пятое место.

Впоследствии в 1970 и 1971 годах дважды выигрывал национальный чемпионат по академической гребле, в двойках с рулевым и без рулевого соответственно.

Находясь в числе лидеров гребной команды США, благополучно прошёл отбор на Олимпийские игры 1972 года в Мюнхене — на сей раз в составе экипажа-восьмёрки в главном финале пришёл к финишу вторым, пропустив вперёд только команду из Новой Зеландии, и тем самым завоевал серебряную олимпийскую медаль.

После мюнхенской Олимпиады Терри больше не показывал сколько-нибудь значимых результатов в академической гребле на международной арене.

DO YOU WANT A MINIMUM WAGE INCREASE?
The current Federal Minimum Wage is $7.25/hour. President Obama and the Democrats want to raise it to $10.10, and progressive activists are pushing to raise it to $15.00/hour. With a Democratic-controlled U.S. House of Representatives AND Senate, $15.00/hour is likely.
President Obama, using his executive authority, raised the federal minimum wage for federal contractors to $10.10/hour but ONLY CONGRESS can raise it for everyone else.
Republicans OPPOSE any increase in the minimum wage while at the same time proposing tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans who spend their tax savings on luxury items while people who make minimum wage work 40 hours a week and live in poverty.

London's Mediæval Parish Churches: Part 2 - From Cornhill to the Walbrook
Posted on Jun 08, 2002 - 11:35 AM by Bill McCann
The Mediæval London skyline was dominated by church spires. There were 126 parish churches crammed into the "Square Mile" in the 12th century. By the 14th century the number had been reduced to 110. This is the last in a series of four articles which provides a brief description and history of each mediæval parish church. Where possible the dates of foundation or the date of the first documentary reference are given. The dates of destruction, reconstruction and suppression, where appropriate, are given for each parish church. These articles are the prologue to a more comprehensive coverage of the individual parish churches which will follow later in the year.
The Church was one of the most important agencies in the shaping and characterisation of mediæval London. Not only was London the seat of an important Bishopric but it also had a large number of wealthy monasteries, friaries and nunneries within the City walls or just outside. And it had more than 100 Parish Churches. The panorama of the city above shows how in 1611, the skyline was dominated by church spires. This series of articles lists the Mediæval parish churches whose names are known to us. For each is given the common name used today together with the original or alternative names where applicable, the date of its original foundation if known, its location and the dates of reconstruction and/or destruction. For ease of future reference, the churches are numbered consecutively from east to west. Detailed descriptions of individual churches will follow in later articles. There are links to other articles in the series at the end of the article.

Abstract : Key Points • We demonstrate that PT promotes ECFCs dysfunction by inducing stress-induced premature senescence. • Our data reveal that SIRT1 deficiency drives PT-ECFC senescence, and acts as a critical determinant of the PT-ECFC angiogenic defect. Epidemiological and experimental studies indicate that early vascular dysfunction occurs in low-birth-weight subjects, especially preterm (PT) infants. We recently reported impaired angiogenic activity of endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFCs) in this condition. We hypothesized that ECFC dysfunction in PT might result from premature senescence and investigated the underlying mechanisms. Compared with ECFCs from term neonates (n 5 18), ECFCs isolated from PT (n 5 29) display an accelerated senescence sustained by growth arrest and increased senescence-associated b-galactosidase activity. Increased p16 INK4a expression, in the absence of telomere shortening, indicates that premature PT-ECFC aging results from stress-induced senescence. SIRT1 level, a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent deacetylase with anti-aging activities, is dramatically decreased in PT-ECFCs and correlated with gestational age. SIRT1 deficiency is subsequent to epigenetic silencing of its promoter. Transient SIRT1 overexpression or chemical induction by resveratrol treatment reverses senescence phenotype, and rescues in vitro PT-ECFC angiogenic defect in a SIRT1-dependent manner. SIRT1 overexpression also restores PT-ECFC capacity for neovessel formation in vivo. We thus demonstrate that decreased expression of SIRT1 drives accelerated senescence of PT-ECFCs, and acts as a critical determinant of the PT-ECFC angiogenic defect. These findings lay new grounds for understanding the increased cardiovascular risk in individuals born prematurely and open perspectives for therapeutic strategy.

Apple: Bitter Pit
Bitter Pit. Apple, Granny Smith
Bitter pit reduces the fresh market quality of fruit. It was first described in Germany and is recognized as an abiotic disorder found in all areas of the world where apples are grown. This physiological disorder is influenced by climate and orchard cultural practices.
Small brown lesions of 2-10 mm in diameter (depending on the cultivar) develop in the flesh of the fruit. The tissue below the skin becomes dark and corky. At harvest or after a period of cold storage the skin develops depressed spots on the surface. These most often start to appear as water soaked spots on the skin near the calyx. These spots generally turn darker and become more sunken than the surrounding skin and are fully developed after one to two months in storage.
Fruit located on vigorous, leafy, upright growing branches have a greater potential to develop bitter pit than does fruit that develops from spurs or on horizontal wood near the tree's main frame. Young trees that are just coming into bearing are the most susceptible. Immature fruit are more susceptible to bitter pit than fruit harvested at the proper harvest maturity. Older trees, which are less vigorous and produce larger crop loads, reduce their susceptibility to bitter pit except in the very sensitive cultivars.
Highly Susceptible Cultivars
Granny Smith, Yellow Newtown, Jonathan, Golden Delicious (California), Gravenstein, Red Delicious (California), Baldwin, Boskoop, Bromley's Seedling, Cleopatra, Cox's Orange Pippin, Grimes Golden, Merton, Rhode Island Greening, Worcester, Stayman (Canada), Sturmer, White Winter Pearmaine, Prima Starking, Starkrimson, Marigold, Northern Spy, and York Imperial.
Less Susceptible Cultivars
Rome Beauty, Golden Delicious (Canada), Macintosh, Spartan, Haralson, Lobo, Winesap (California), Red Gravenstein, Stonetosh, Gala, and Fuji.
Initiation of symptoms may begin four to six weeks after petal fall when affected tissues have a higher rate of respiration and ethylene production. This is a period of greater protein and pectin synthesis with greater migration of organic ions into the affected areas. Affected areas retain starch grains not seen in healthy tissue. A mineral imbalance in the apple flesh develops with low levels of calcium and relatively high concentrations of potassium and magnesium. Low levels of calcium impair the selective permeability of cell membranes leading to cell injury and necrosis. Other explanations for the cause of bitter pit include the dissolution of the middle lamellae by oxalic and succinic acid, and changes in proton secretion and potassium permeability.
Cultural practices that reduce the incidence of bitter pit are annual bearing, moderate tree vigor, smaller fruit size, calcium sprays, summer pruning and harvesting mature fruit. Avoid nitrogen and magnesium summer sprays, fertilizer treatments that result in lowering the soil pH or induce excess vigor, and fluctuating soil moisture. Early thinning and over thinning can increase bitter pit. Do not over dormant prune, which would result in a light crop and large fruit. Summer sprays of calcium chloride(CaCl2), calcium nitrate [Ca(NO3)2] and/or a postharvest dip in a calcium solution are recommended. Both CaCl2 and Ca(NO3)2 summer sprays are effective at reducing the incidence of bitter but the response varies with the cultivar and both may cause russeting and leaf burn under certain conditions. In California, apply at least three sprays at one month intervals beginning in mid-June. Use 20 pounds of Ca(NO3)2 per acre in 400 gallons of water or 12 pounds of CaCl2 per acre in 400 gallons of water. Apply sprays under conditions of rapid drying to prevent russeting. Orchards with a history of severe bitter pit should receive four to six sprays or more at two week intervals. Fruit coverage is mandatory. Postharvest dips before storage may reduce bitter pit symptoms. Use 2-3% by weight CaCl2 in the drench water. Calcium dips can cause fruit injury, follow the label recommendations carefully.
Preharvest sampling for bitter pit is possible. Two weeks before harvest select large fruit from upright limbs of light cropped, vigorous trees. Dip the fruit in a solution of 2,000 ppm ethephon in water (about 1½ teaspoons of ethephon to one gallon of water) to hasten the ripening process. Hold the fruit for two weeks at room temperature. If bitter pit develops, delay the harvest as long as possible. Cool the harvested fruit as soon as possible and delay the packing for at least four weeks. The delay will allow the bitter pit to fully develop. The affected fruit is then removed during the packing process.

Singapore-based photographer wins National Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year
Mr Bojan's winning photograph was of a male orangutan crossing a river in Borneo. (Photo: Jayaprakash Joghee Bojan)
13 Dec 2017 11:50AM (Updated: 13 Dec 2017 12:28PM )
SINGAPORE: A photographer in Singapore was awarded the National Geographic Nature Photographer of the year on Wednesday (Dec 13).
Jayaprakash Joghee Bojan's photo of a male orangutan peering from behind a tree while crossing a river in Borneo, was picked by a panel of judges among 11,000 photo submissions, winning the grand prize of US$7,500 (S$10,141).
In their Instagram account, National Geographic said that Mr Bojan, an Indian citizen based in Singapore, impressed judges with his "poignant image" of the animal.
Photo by @Jayaprakash_bojan | After over 11,000 photo submissions from around the world, our panel of judges has named the 2017 National Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year! Jayaprakash Joghee Bojan of Singapore is this year's grand prize winner for his stunning shot of an enormous male orangutan, waist-deep in a river, shyly peeking from behind a tree. Our judges were impressed by how the poignant image spoke to the impact deforestation is having on the habitat of this critical endangered species. See all of this year's spectacular award-winning photos at natgeo.com/photocontest (link in profile).
A post shared by National Geographic (@natgeo) on Dec 12, 2017 at 11:32am PST
The photo, which also won first place in the wildlife category, "spoke to the impact deforestation is having on the habitat of this critical endangered species", said the publication.
Mr Bojan explains in his photo caption why the orangutan is seen crossing the river: "Rampant palm oil cultivation threatens this critically endangered ape, forcing the normally arboreal species to resort to unusual behaviour - such as wading through crocodile-infested rivers - in order to survive."
Speaking to Channel NewsAsia, Mr Bojan said he was "humbled, thrilled and thankful to God" when he learned he won the awards.
He said that he was especially happy especially because the photo would "bring more attention to their (orangutan) plight due to loss of habitat in Borneo".
The freelance nature photographer said he was living on a boat on the Sekonyer River in southern Borneo when he heard from a local ranger of an orangutan occasionally crossing the river.
After two days of waiting, Mr Bojan said he was "thrilled to witness this rare moment" when the orangutan appeared.
"I decided to get into the five-foot deep river to get some unique perspectives of this amazing moment," he said.
Fortunately there were no crocodiles around that time, added Mr Bojan, who was then accompanied by a local boatman and orangutan conservationist.
Mr Bojan said he loved photographing primates as he felt that they "are so close to us humans in so many ways". He has gone to Vietnam and Indonesia to take a series of photographs on them.
Mr Bojan said he was inspired to do so after coming across these highly endangered species at the Singapore Zoo. Though there is not much wildlife in Singapore, he said it was "heartwarming" that the community puts in effort "to protect every bit of wildlife they have".
Mr Bojan's winning image will be published in an upcoming issue of National Geographic magazine.

Robert Proctor's war against Big Tobacco
by Gennady Sheyner
"Golden Holocaust: Origins of the Cigarette Catastrophe and the Case for Abolition" by Robert N. Proctor; University of California Press, Berkeley, Los Angeles and London; 752 pp.; $49.95
On Dec. 14, 1953, the world's leading tobacco executives met at the Plaza Hotel in downtown Manhattan to discuss a rapidly approaching storm.
The secret gathering, which featured top officials from American Tobacco, Philip Morris, R.J. Reynolds and other industry titans, took place at a time of widespread worry for the industry. The New England Journal of Medicine had published an editorial about a recent epidemiological study that the journal said yielded "evidence of an association between cigarette smoking and lung cancer so strong as to be considered proof within the everyday meaning of the word."
The month before the meeting, a panel set up by Britain's chief medical officer in the Ministry of Health concluded that there is a "real" connection between smoking and lung cancer. On a separate note, a team of scientists led by Ernest Wynder induced cancers in mice earlier that year by painting tars from tobacco smoke on their skins. These experiments took place a year after the International Union Against Cancer issued a resolution that "there is now evidence of an association between cigarette smoking and cancer of the lung, and that the association is in general proportional to the total consumption."
These were by no means the first studies documenting the link between cigarettes and cancer. As early as 1900, Anton Brosch rubbed "tobacco juice" on a guinea pig and watched epithelial tissues grow on an old scar. Three decades later, Argentinean scientist Angel Roffo linked tar from tobacco to cancers on lab animals, sparking other studies of similar nature. But the pioneering work remained on the fringes of science. By the early 1950s, that began to change. The link between cigarettes and lung cancer, once hazy, was now solidifying in the public imagination. The industry needed to fight back.
The meeting at the Plaza Hotel, which is detailed in Robert Proctor's new book, "Golden Holocaust: Origins of the Cigarette Catastrophe and the Case for Abolition," didn't focus on the health risks of cigarettes but rather on the risk to the industry's profits and reputation. As Proctor demonstrates in this monumental and scathing work, Big Tobacco had been enjoying a period of unprecedented growth and prosperity up until this period of scientific consensus.
The practice of smoking tobacco has been around for several millennia, going back to the highlands of Peru and Ecuador, where people rolled up and smoked tobacco leaves thousands of years before the common era. Tobacco reached France in the 16th century and by the mid-1800s European scientists had begun to probe its toxic and intoxicating properties. Those early cigarettes, however, had little in common with the sleek, elegant rods we think of today. They were more like cigars — wrapped in leaf, smoked by the elite and difficult to inhale.
That changed in the first two decades of the 20th century, when a series of technological breakthroughs made cigarettes sexier, deadlier and more addictive than ever before. The most critical of these, Proctor writes, was "flue-curing" — a process in which charcoal-heated air is transferred to the tobacco leaves during fermentation. The process, which Proctor says "may well be the deadliest invention in the history of modern manufacturing," suddenly made smoke milder and easy to inhale. Other inventions, including matches, lighters and industrial machines capable of mass-producing cigarettes, further smoothed the cigarette's rise to prominence. While hand-rolling allowed manufacturers to produce one cigarette per minute, the rate of production jumped to about 1,000 per minute by the mid-1920s. By the time the meeting at the Plaza Hotel was assembling, cigarettes had become what Proctor calls the "deadliest artifacts in the history of human civilization."
Though the industry's well-paid in-house scientists continued to toe the company line and deny the cancer connection, and the U.S. Surgeon General wouldn't declare this link for another decade, the tide was now threatening to turn against Big Tobacco and the industry was preparing its counterattack. Proctor called the meeting at the Plaza Hotel "the beginning of the industry's conspiracy to deny, deflect, or distract from the hazard of tobacco."
The solution, as Proctor tells us, was the industry's "Frank Statement to Cigarette Smokers" — a position paper that was adopted by participants of the conference and that ran in 448 newspapers. The statement alludes to recent experiments in which mice grew tumors after being painted with tar but argues that "there is no proof" cigarette smoking causes cancer. It also dismisses recent epidemiological studies suggesting a link between smoking and cancer, claiming that statistics "could apply with equal force to any of the many other aspects of modern life."
But even as Big Tobacco questioned the link, it pledged "aid and assistance to research efforts into all phases of tobacco use and health." Leading this effort would be a new group, the Tobacco Industry Research Committee, whose research would be led by "scientists of unimpeachable refute." This was the first in a series of industry groups fronting as scientific organizations. Though they hired leading scientists and contributed generously toward experiments, the work they funded consciously avoided the topic of the smoking/cancer link, as Proctor aptly demonstrates. The goal, he argues, was to distract the public with "red herring science" while continuing to push a product that kills the equivalent of two jumbo jets full of passengers a day.
The industry's mastery of public relations — even before the days of Joe Camel and the Marlboro Man — was among its greatest strengths. Television encouraged smoking with state-of-the-art ads, including "dancing cigarettes" and popular shows that were sponsored by tobacco giants (Philip Morris, for example, sponsored "I Love Lucy."). Proctor notes that cigarettes were the most widely advertised product on TV until 1971, the year Congress banned cigarette ads.
Hollywood and professional sports were also in on the game. Between 1927 and 1951, at least 195 Hollywood stars (among them Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy and Joan Crawford) endorsed cigarettes. Even as late as 1983, Sylvester Stallone agreed to smoke Brown & Williamson brands (Kool and Bell Air) in five forthcoming movies in exchange for $500,000. Other big names, including Paul Newman, Sean Connery and Clint Eastwood, also did their part, accepting thousands of dollars from the industry in exchange for product placement.
Leading sports figures also benefited handsomely from tobacco sponsorship. Baseball stars Stan Musial and Ted Williams plugged Chesterfields, Proctor writes, while Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle endorsed Camels. Cigarettes were branded in the context of sports as "performance-enhancing drugs that calmed your nerves, eased tension and readied you for the big game."
There were some notable exceptions. Honus Wagner, the legendary Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop, revoked in 1911 his contract with American Tobacco out of fear that circulation of his baseball card "would influence children to purchase tobacco products." As a result, Proctor writes, only a few dozen of his cards were ever distributed. Wagner's honorable stance was, in a sense, rewarded posthumously. His baseball cards are among the most sought-after prizes for collectors. In 2007, one sold for $2.8 million.
The tradition of athletes shilling for Big Tobacco continued well into the second half of the century. Tennis legend Billy Jean King began accepting money from Philip Morris in 1971 and wore "Virginia Slims" colors during her famous "Battle of the Sexes" victory over Bobby Riggs two years later. And in 1994, London's Imperial (which makes Davidoff cigarettes) began sponsoring the Basel International Tennis Tournament in Switzerland, which featured superstar Roger Federer on its promotional materials.
More disturbing than the industry's influence on professional sports, however, is its insidious infiltration of American universities. In the mid-1930s, American Tobacco began partnering with Medical College of Virginia (later renamed Virginia Commonwealth University) to address the cancer "health scares." Before long, some of the college's most prominent faculty members (including successive heads of the college's Department of Pharmacology) were on the industry's payroll, testifying before regulatory committees and downplaying the cancer link.
This was the most obvious but by no means the only example of collusion. American Tobacco, Proctor writes, also developed close relations with Duke University (which is still named after James Buchanan "Buck" Duke, the powerful former president of American Tobacco), University of North Carolina, University of Texas and New York University (NYU). Lorillard struck deals with Ohio State University and NYU, Philip Morris put two Columbia University pharmacologists on its payroll while R.J. Reynolds established a laboratory at the Bowman Gray School of Medicine (part of Wake Forest). Meanwhile, professors from schools as prominent as Harvard, Stanford, Johns Hopkins and UCLA took money from the industry and lent their imprimatur to the industry.
Some of the most poignant sections of Proctor's encyclopedic work are ones in which he unmasks these secret relationships. He's not shy about naming names and outing historians, academics, doctors and politicians who in his view sold out to the industry (including several at his own university). The book also exposes as "fraud" the industry's various attempts to make cigarettes feel safer. Filters, ventilation slits and "light cigarettes" were invented to assuage smokers even though, as Proctor demonstrates, these inventions do nothing to lessen the health impacts of cigarettes.
Proctor's investigative work is comprehensive and devastating, though his tendency to reach for the top shelf occasionally distracts a reader from the impressive scholarship within. The book's title is just one example. Proctor has no qualms about comparing smoking-related deaths to the extermination of European Jews and his one-page prologue justifying his use of "Holocaust" in the title does little to ease a sense of discomfort with the flawed analogy. He acknowledges the "significant difference between the murder of six million Jews at the hands of the Nazis and the suffering of smokers" but justifies his title with an argument that "in both instances, though, we face calamity of epic proportions, with too many willing to turn a blind eye, too many willing to let the horror unfold without intervention." But by this logic, the "Holocaust" label can be applied to anything from hunger in Africa to global warming — issues that are undoubtedly serious but that are also substantially different from the horrors generally associated with the term. Given the copious, detailed and damning evidence Proctor assembles in his book, he does himself a disservice by shrouding his impressive research behind such a loaded title.
And while Proctor's account is exhaustive, at certain moments it also feels exhausting. Is it really critical for us to know, for example, that a 2008 Google search returned 1,950,000 hits for "smoking fetish" and 139,000 for "smoking porn"? (Regardless of the answer, now you know). And his list of sporting events sponsored by cigarette makers between 1960 and 2000 (to cite one of many examples) runs to six pages of fine print — a prime example of Proctor's sterling scholarship but a bit of a drag for those who like to see more "story" in their history.
But at other times, his data charts are just what the doctor ordered, like when he gives us a "selected" list of 29 poisons in cigarettes, a catalogue that includes ammonia, arsenic and radioactive polonium 210. And his account of Big Tobacco's endorsements in the jazz industry greatly benefits a long list of American jazz greats who died from lung cancer, a catalogue that includes Lou Rawls, Sarah Vaughan, Duke Ellington and Jimmy Dorsey.
The most important service Proctor performs in this compelling volume is to take what many of us suspect and think we know and magnify it. He is aided in this quest by the Legacy Tobacco Documents Library, an archive of more than 70 million pages that the tobacco companies had to release as part of their Master Settlement Agreement in 1998. Many of the facts and figures he cites to correct what he calls our "mass blindness" about the tobacco industry come from the industry's own archives.
"Most people know that the industry's behavior had been less than honorable, but how many know that cigarette smoke contains arsenic, cyanide, and radioactive isotopes?" Proctor asks in the prologue. "How many know that 90 percent of the world's licorice ends up in tobacco, or that cigarettes are freebased with ammonia to turn them into a kind of crack nicotine? How many know that only about two-thirds of what goes into a cigarette is actually tobacco, with much of the rest being a witches' brew of added sugars, burn accelerants, freebasing agents, bronchial dilators, and moisteners like glycerin or diethylene glycol, the antifreeze contaminating all those deadly Chinese tubes of toothpaste? How many know about the filth sometimes found in cigarettes — dirt and mold, of course, but also worms, wire and insect excrement?"
A reader doesn't have to agree with all of his solutions, including his impassioned call for abolition of cigarettes, to appreciate his work. And even if the abolition he lobbies for in the short final chapter doesn't materialize, it's heartening to know that through his efforts the industry's long and complex campaign to confuse and deceive the American public can no longer proceed unimpeded.

Very well written news article. Enjoyed reading it and shared it with friends.
There is also the story about how all our furniture and clothing has flame retardant in it. The tobacco companies were putting chemicals into cigarettes to keep them burning, and of course sell more cigarettes too.
Since there were so many fires from people falling asleep and their cigarettes that used to just fixxle out would catch their beds, clothes or furniture on fire, Ralph Nader demanded that cigarette companies remove the chemicals from cigarettes that keep them burning.
The cigarette company's answer was to put flame retardant in clothes, pajamas, mattresses, instead of removing the chemicals. Now thanks for these murdering sleaze bags we all have sleep in bedding and mattresses that have carsinogenic chemicals in them out gassing into our lungs all night.
American capitalism is sick, it is sick because the people who got an inordinate amount of money from things like cigarettes can now take their capital with the help of financial experts and send it overseas to undermine our country, they can buy up all the regular businesses - simply because they got money, capital, from what are virtually crimes in the past, and now the money looks clean and productive, but it is managed by the same defective people who now have grown to the level where they threaten everyone, not just smokers or people around smokers.
Even raising taxes on these people is not going to bring about justice or restore democracy to our nation, we need to make sure that defective immoral criminals cannot amass amounts of money that will corrupt our system - or in our case do "something" retroactively to remove these people and confiscate their ill gotten gains.

May I recommend an older movie, great summer fun - "Thank you for smoking.."
We can only blame ourselves. Writings are always on the walls.
400,000 + Americans die premature and painful deaths from smoking related diseases every year-the rate of smoking is going down fast
[email protected] Stanford it is less than 2%.
In Palo Alto smokers are pariahs-rightly so
The problem is not nicotine-it is the delivery system-smoking.
In Sweden they have the lowest rate of smoking and smoking related deaths in Europe-because nicotine addict use snus-
-which does not cause cancer etc and is now legal in the US.
If you want to use nicotine use a safe delivery system.
300,500 Americans die premature and painful deaths from obesity and the rates of morbid obesity have increased dramatically over the last 15 years.
Smokers die young, fast and cheap-their is no cure for lung cancer.
The obese linger on with expensive chronic diseases like diabetes
They progressively lose their limbs, sight and mind-
-at huge expense for health care.
The obesity epidemic will soon bankrupt the US health care system
Smoking in the US is declining rapidly and nicotine addicts can use snus-patches etc
Obesity in the US is increasing rapidly but fat people do not curb their eating nor exercise--the cure is simple-eat less and exercise-
- they will not do it
Obesity is the major health cost issue in the US moving forward-
-and it is getting worse
As I said earlier, it is not necessarily smoking, it is the greed and immorality of business people who sell cigarettes, who put chemicals in cigarettes, who force us to surround ourselves with carcinogenic flame retardant clothes and furniture … then when faced with regulation they took their untold tens or hundreds of billions and bought Kraft food and are doing the same thing with junk food.
You know what Altria is?
Anyway, a lot of these companies study how to take advantage and manipulate human behavior which causes addictive behavior, stress, cancer and obesity as well. But, we gotta be free to kill ourselves and bankrupt the country in American.

According to the National Institutes of Health (Web Link tobacco (snus) causes oral cancer, esophageal cancer, and pancreatic cancer.
It may also cause heart disease, gum disease, and oral lesions other than cancer, such as leukoplakia (precancerous white patches in the mouth) It is addictive. There's no safe tobacco.
@ Truth--it is dead fake link-typical
Extensive longitudinal research in Sweden shows that Snus is not a significant health risk.
Nicotine is not the health problem-smoking tobacco to get it is the health problem.
Sweden keeps much better public health statistics than we do
Snus Web Link
Is a safe delivery system for nicotine-like patches and lozenges-but much cheaper-
Is now legal in the US-but not in Europe or Israel-
-people in Israel and Germany, Greece- etc smoke like chimneys and die like flies from lung cancer-it is a horrible and very painful way to die.
Obesity is a major health risk factor for breast, bowel and prostate cancer, diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer disease, dementia etc-etc
Clearly people should not smoke and they should not allow themselves to get fat by overeating.

Anon- greed and immortality is not "reserved" only to corporate America executives. Those symptoms can be found also in the public service, affecting those who make big $ and impacting our health (and our kids health). Power, you know.
We suppose the author using the term " holocaust" fits as in the last 10 years almost 5 million Americans have died premature and very painful deaths from smoking related illnesses
Moving forward many more will die in similar fashion from obesity related illness-
-which will soon bankrupt the US health care system

A Few Facts About Prince Harry And Meghan's Home
Take a peek at Nott-Cott, the historic cottage that was designed by a great architect acclaimed for rebuilding London
by Real Living Team May 20, 2018

By now, the whole world would have witnessed the grand Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Naturally, everyone would be curious as to where the Royal newlyweds will be residing.
According to this article from Forbes.com, Clarence House has confirmed that the couple will live at Nottingham Cottage (above, original photo attributed to Snowdon) in Kensington Palace after the wedding. Prince Harry has been living in the two-bedroom, one-bathroom home since 2013, and Meghan moved in after getting engaged last November, 2017.
"Nott-Cott," as it is affectionately called, is rather snug at 1,300 square feet or 396sqm (for Royals, at least), and is one of the smallest homes within the grounds of Kensington Palace (main photo, above right), where other Royals reside, among them the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (who now live in Apartment 1A within the palace), Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. One of the more famous past residents of Kensington was Harry's mother, Princess Diana, who lived here after her divorce from Prince Charles.
The modest but historical cottage dates from 1689, bought by King William III and Queen Mary II. It was then renovated later on by the Sir Christopher Wren, the acclaimed architect noted for rebuilding London after the Great Fire of 1666. Wren's most famous building is St. Paul's Cathedral (above), which is incidentally where Harry's parents Prince Charles and Princess Diana were married. Other famous Wren-designed buildings include Hampton Court Palace, buildings in Oxford University, and Trinity College in Cambridge.

We have yet to find out how the Royal couple will decorate their newlywed's nest, but we could take a guess that it will be classical and tasteful, judging from the screenshots from Meghan's now-defunct Instagram account. The actress has a fondness for French-style mirrors, a neutral palette of cream and dove gray, Diptyque candles, and pink peonies.
