Family Of Astoria Murder Victim Danielle Thomas Breaks Silence On Accused Killer Boyfriend
Mother, Grandmother Recount Horror Of Learning About 27-Year-Old's Death July 2, 2012 at 5:40 pm
Filed Under:Amy Dardashtian, Astoria murder, Danielle Thomas, Jason Bohn
Jason Bohn (L), Danielle Thomas (R) (credit: Personal Photos)
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The heartbroken family of a woman found brutally murdered in a Queens apartment spoke out Monday. The victim's boyfriend was arrested on Friday and charged in her killing.
"I asked 'is Danielle okay?' And he said, 'No, ma'am. I'm sorry. She's not,'" Jamie Thomas Bright said.
The call was a mother's worst nightmare. Authorities told her mother that her daughter, Danielle Thomas, was dead.
"I was in a state of shock," Thomas Bright said.
The University of Florida graduate had moved to New York, where she lived with boyfriend, Jason Bohn, and worked for Weight Watchers. However, on Tuesday her beaten and bruised body was discovered on ice in a bathtub in her Astoria apartment building on 33rd Street. Her boyfriend, a suspect from the beginning, is now charged with her murder. Danielle's grandmother said Danielle was her only grandchild.
"I loved her so and she knew it," Juanita Hardgrove said.
Bohn, a lawyer, was arrested Friday at a diner in White Plains after a four-day manhunt. He was sitting with his mother and his lawyer. Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said Bohn allegedly left two notes at the crime scene, one saying "It was an accident, it was an accident, it was an accident…I had been drinking and I was drunk when I got home. She was already asleep…I woke up and there was fighting between us. When I woke up again she was unconscious. I am sorry." The second note said, "Dani, I will love you forever."
However, earlier this month when Thomas went to police with black eyes and on crutches Bohn had different words. Officers overhead him threaten Thomas, saying "It's war. I will dedicate my life to hunting you down like a dog in the streets. I am going to make your life impossible."
Neighbors in the Astoria apartment said they often heard Thomas screaming for help.
"Screaming, yelling 'Help! He's going to kill me! Help!" one resident said.
Thomas had an order of protection in place when she was murdered, police said. No one knows why she returned to the apartment building. Meanwhile, the 27-year-old's family is struggling to cope and is searching for meaning in their devastating loss.
"I do feel that something good will come from this and I know that God has everything happen for a reason," Hardgrove said.
District Attorney Brown said after Bohn allegedly murdered Thomas he called police and told them an unconscious female was in his apartment but then fled the scene. He added the 33-year-old is on suicide watch. If convicted, he faces 25 years to life.

Q: How to load data in constructor, and render it via Chartjs in ngAfterViewInit? Here's my problem. A lot of examples of using Chartjs in Angular only assume that data is already there, and they render it in ngAfterViewInit.
However, I can't figure out how to meet my requirements:

*

*I need to load data in the constructor

*While loading data, I set a Boolean attribute for showing an indeterminate mat-spinner

*Of course, loading data is truly indeterminate, and I can't know when it's loaded (promise land maybe)

*When data is loaded, I need to use Chartjs API to draw data into canvas

*If I do it in the constructor, then I encounter null reference for document.getElementById('canvasId'), since it's not rendered yet.

*If I load data in constrcutor and want to render canvas in ngAfterViewInit, then I don't know when data is loaded, since it's indeterminate, and I encounter null reference for the properties of my data object.

*If I load data in the ngAfterViewInit, then Angular complains that ExpressionChangedAfterItHasBeenCheckedError: Expression has changed after it was checked. Previous value: 'ngIf: undefined'. Current value: 'ngIf: true'. This error is related to mat-spinner *ngIf='progress'
I'm stuck at this point on how to reconcile these requirements. Any help?

A: This post uses a service to get data and render the chart after the data is loaded.  Hope it helps!
Angular Load Data from Service
I was getting the expression changed error but loading and executing in OnInit worked for me.

TOP STORIES / World / Europe
Refugee crisis: Europe's disgrace plays out in Röszke
Hungary has become one of the main focus points of Europe's refugee crisis over the past few weeks. Many enter the EU nation via the town of Röszke, on the Serbian border, from where DW's Michaela Küfner reports.
Many Hungarians are friendly in a pleasantly old-fashioned kind of way. If an old lady drops something, several people are sure to come to the rescue. The succession of total strangers holding open doors for women can take some getting used to. And the capital Budapest with its art-deco buildings promises an opportunity to delve into the spirit of those good old days. This national image is the hallmark of Hungary's touristic promise.
The Keleti station, which saw up to three thousand migrants camped out under slum-like conditions outside Budapest's central station for almost a week, has scratched this image. As volunteers willing to help started pouring in from as far as Germany to help the dwindling number of migrants headed West, biblical scenes from Röszke - 500 meters from the Serbian border - only slowly managed to catch the attention of the international media.
Enthusiasm fades fast
'Ahmed' sits on his dad's shoulders in Röszke
Some 700 people, many of them children, were forced to spend the night out in the open, surrounded by guards, without enough blankets to go around. If this were Germany, unlikely any correspondent would be able to resist drawing parallels to scenes from the final days of the Nazi regime. Defeating it continues to be a source of national pride. But the context makes no difference to those who find themselves on a stretch of grass next to a corn field after reaching what they thought was the safe haven of Europe.
The enthusiasm of having beaten the odds of their dangerous journey and at last reaching the EU fades fast when migrants reach their final stop after walking along a rail track between the border fence with Serbia and what was meant to be a "collection point." Soon they realize that hundreds of police surrounding them will not let them go before registering, even if this means sleeping in the open with small children for several days. This is how Hungary's pledge to fulfil its Dublin commitments looks in action. Exhausted from their sheer endless journey, this Monday alone I witnessed two children between the ages of three and nine collapse under the sun.
By then hundreds were still uncertain whether they would have to spend another cold night on the damp grass. Frustrated migrants, mostly young men, tried to break through police lines several time on Monday, chanting "Freedom" and "Budapest." While few had heard that the official window of opportunity to get into Austria legally was closing, many remain hopeful that making it to Budapest is all that counts now. As anger over the conditions in a field mounts among the migrants from mainly Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq, tension among the police was rising, too. A commander made frantic phone calls as he realized that Röszke registration centre, despite having been extended by two hangars, was yet again overflowing with people - with dozens more arriving along the rail track every hour.
Police in Röszke try to keep track of the arrivals
This is no surprise. This has been happening for days; leaving exhausted policemen to contain the situation. Men who are visibly not enjoying their task. One says "thank you," surprised as I wish him a good night, clearly embarrassed at the situation he has been put in charge of.
Choice words from Hungarian PM
Hungary's Prime Minister Victor Orban has declared that his country has enough police and financial capacity to handle the influx of migrants. If that's the case this raises the question why he isn't sending those resources to Röszke, where three temporary toilets have been set up for at times up to 1,000 people. Where, once again, hundreds of children are set to freeze in an open field overnight.
The UN Refugee agency UNHCR says Hungary has at most 5,000 places in reception camps. According to modest estimates, that's about the number of migrants who arrive within two days. Another clear indication that there is no intention to make them feel welcome.
Victor Orban has gone further. On national TV he criticized Germany's decision to spend some six billion Euros ($6.7 billion) on migrants. At the same time he stated that it was Hungary's right to decide against having large Muslim populations like France, openly telling Muslims once again that they are not welcome.
No migrant I spoke to in Röszke has seen Orban's TV address, yet all of them get the message. Nobody will help me into my coat back in Berlin. I left it in Röszke.

ARTS AND EDUCATION
Scottish Rite Cathedral Theater
In the Presence of Wonderment - A Critic's Comment
650 N Meridian Street
Editorial policy for the Indianapolis-based newspaper where I serve as dance critic is not to review student productions. Nevertheless, I regularly attend school-based performances as a way of showing support for dancers at their formative level. What follows is a personal comment about the work of the Indianapolis School of Ballet, founded in 2005 by Victoria Lyras, a Balanchine trained dancer whose professional career includes the Pennsylvania Ballet and guest appearances nationwide. The intention is for the school to lead into forming a professional resident company. Indianapolis currently does not have a resident professional ballet company. The mission statement reads: "Indianapolis School of Ballet advances professional ballet and dance education in our community through world-class training and dynamic performances provided in a culturally diverse environment designed for continual physical, intellectual and artistic growth of all dancers. The Indianapolis School of Ballet's school year offers three main programs: Pre-Professional Program-ages 8-19; Young Children' Program-ages 4-7; Open Dance Program-ages 13-adult.
Rita Kohn is a member of the Board of the Dance Critics Association.
It's December 16, 2011. I'm attending opening night of the Indianapolis School of Ballet production of Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker. I've already witnessed two productions of The Nutcracker — at Butler University Dance Theatre in Indianapolis and Indiana University Dance Theater in Bloomington, IN. Each has particular strengths and garners an audience of devotees. [See ExploreDance.com reviews: http://www.exploredance.com/list.htm?s=author&sid=903] But not having to put my reviewer's brain into gear, I can allow myself to 'sit back, relax and enjoy the show.' And yet—
Indianapolis School of Ballet's 5th annual The Nutcracker sparkles with dancers making their debut and returning dancers moving into new roles or reprising last year's roles. What is immediately obvious to an audience member at any ISB performance is every dancer's unabashed sense of joyfulness in being on stage and their presentation of characters as dimensional beings. This afternoon, I'm again brought into the Nutcracker's duality as "real world" and dreamtime world weave in and out of magical episodes. And as before, something new is added to the ISB production. This year the zinger is the Act II debut of Ben Harris as an ebullient Mother Ginger fussing and fluttering in the center of a glittering hoop skirt replete with drawstring manipulation allowing a trove of Polichinelles to troop onto the stage and coax Clara to join them.
Mr. Harris, a physical therapist, reconnected with his former dance background by enrolling in ISB's Open Division adult ballet classes in 2010. He continues to be part of the Act I Party scene, along with adults from the Riolo Dance Ballroom, housed adjacent to ISB's studios in the heart of downtown Indianapolis, overlooking the State Capitol.
From beginning to end I watch for what else might be different beyond the expected element of a different dancer affecting familiar choreography. Credits read: "Scenario based on "Nutcracker and the King of Mice" by E.T.A. Hoffmann (1816); Choreography by Victoria Lyras, Fiona Fuerstner and Robert Rodham with Grand Pas de Deux from George Balanchine's The Nutcracker TM, a Balanchine ® Ballet; Balanchine Repetiteur, Victoria Lyras"
By virtue of Lyras' connectivity with Balanchine, ISB's Nutcracker incorporates elements of Balanchine's recollections of his youthful experiences in Russia and his never-ending sense of wonder, inquisitiveness and imagination. Yet Lyras, who trained at the School of American Ballet and danced with New York City Ballet and the Pennsylvania Ballet, in honoring Balanchine's brilliance moves beyond his mentorship to make a personal mark not only on her choreography but on the school she founded, and the company she intends to build in partnership with Indianapolis residents and other organization. Sparked by her philosophy, which balances perfection with tenderness, a special aura surrounding everyone connected with the ISB in its daily operation and in its public productions. Effectively and efficiently board members, teachers, students, parents, volunteers, guest artists, designers and all other personnel emanate a sense of sharing and building that is beyond business-as-usual. They happily inform you that their goal is 'to merge attention to each student's individual needs, aspirations and talent with the overall goal of making fine art while balancing the budget.'
Lyras has been dancing since age five, has moved through the usual professional ranks to critical acclaim, and has 'met payroll' through personal entrepreneurship following her retirement from performance. She's smart about what it takes to be financially viable, but not at the expense of what she really cares about—the individual child and his/her family. Lyras savors her own family's support and sacrifice along with the enduring care of her teachers, mentors, fellow dancers and others who make up the world of dance. She carries this obligation to honor those who have surrounded her and continue to surround her, supplemented by a strong sense of building community, into every aspect of the Indianapolis School of Ballet.
This helps me understand why audience members—who do not have a relative in the cast — tell me they think ISB stands out among a laudable dozen Nutcrackers within easy driving distance of Indianapolis. When pressed to explain why they come to this conclusion, what it to translates to, 'Well, maybe it's not just what the dancers do, but why they are doing it'. What is ISB's special element that builds connections, loyalties, praise and viability for a dance company? When everything depends upon performers and their performance to make an audience feel they are in the presence of something truly special we indeed are reminded that what's happening on stage reflects what's coming from the top. This is the true trickle-down-effect of inspired and inspiring leadership. Staff and board members being at-one with an artistic director who cares about each person involved in the school and in a production translates into a deep sense of humanity radiating across the lights into the seats. "Sold out" for five performances is a word-of-mouth tribute to an organization with a vision, a heart and a soul founded on the principles of transmitting communal and personal historic relevance, honoring tradition and growing the art, craft and essentiality of dance as a living entity.
When Tchaikovsky's alluring overture eases us out of the crush of getting into our seats, we are a continuum of audiences worldwide for over a century. However, something unique is afoot because when the curtain rises at the ninety-year-old Scottish Rite Cathedral to reveal a scenic backdrop depicting the 165-year-old Morris-Butler House, we are connected with stone, brick and mortar of our own city's living history. And when Paul Vitali as Herr Drosselmeyer looks us in the eye, suddenly turns into profile and raises his cane as if in salute to an off-stage entity, then beguilingly transforms a red handkerchief into blue, we are lured into suspending disbelief, simultaneously here and now but not exactly only here and now. Based on a story written by E.T. A. Hoffmann in 1816, the year Indiana gained Statehood, there are as many variations on the central theme of Clara's dream of an enchanted Nutcracker as there are interpretations of the nickname "Hoosier."
Lyras brings guests along the street and with them also takes us inside the Morris-Butler House to experience first hand its legacy of lovely holiday parties in the parlor. Fritz is a frisky child, not mean, but neither is he considerate. Yet, because of what he does, Fritz sets the crux of the story in motion and is as central to Clara's after-party experience as is Herr Drosselmeyer.
From the moment of her weeping over the injured Nutcracker at the party, to her curling up on the sofa with her beloved toy, to her drifting into layered dreams, to her seat of honor as a spectator of foods in graphic motion, to the point of engagement with the Polichinelles, Clara's fanciful delight is ours, and when she moves from dream into wakefulness within the swirl of repetition, we come back to our seats as changed as she is by mysterious, magical, momentous episodes.
Since this synopsis is pretty much the arc of all Nutcrackers, and since every company strives to make its Nutcracker the hit of the season, and every Nutcracker has endearing children in the cast and applause-getting moments, what is it that brings ISB audience members to comment to a critic, 'This is so different from other Nutcrackers,' and 'I got more swept into it here than at any other Nutcracker.'
Perhaps the mystery, magic and momentousness is something particular within the ISB dancers and production crew because when you hear them saying versions of 'being in this [production] is like being in Clara's head' they are articulating how completely they embody Victoria Lyras' vision of being in the presence of the story as a truthful participant; of being an embodiment of a dimensional character with a full history, moving in a very clear way to convey emotion, intention and context. For ISB dancers it's incorporating impeccable technique and fine performance with their body, mind and soul to create an analogous being. It simmers down to a collective 'I'm putting my whole self into Clara's dream so it's real to me what I'm doing.'
This Nutcracker is a perfect vehicle from which to extrapolate the effect of what makes dance a life-giving endeavor on and off-stage. It's in attention to detail that I recognize when good enough is not good enough, and when I applaud so vigorously it's not because I'm expected to applaud at this juncture, but because the dancers just gave me something beyond what is expected.
Ultimately, I conclude it's what's happening in the studio and backstage that creates the unique sparkle on stage and envelopes me with a sense of wonderment, awe and wellbeing. It's what I am given by a hundred people ages four to forty-plus, wearing meticulously crafted costumes, and moving elegantly in partnership with music and lighting. Truth transmitted in being Columbine, Harlequin and Soldier dolls has the same staying power as truth in being Clara and Fritz. Humor in being Mouse Queen is as poignant as grace in being Snow Queen, Sugar Plum Fairy and Dew Drop Fairy. Holding rank as a Toy Soldier is as inspiring as is corps precision as Snowflakes, Angels, Flowers. Awesome is as apt for exacting depiction of Spanish Chocolate, Arabian Coffee, Chine Tea, German Marzipan, Russian Peppermint Candy Canes and Bon-Bons, as for the jumps, turns and flying leap catches of the Snow King and Cavalier.
The tip-off for this critic of something extraordinary going on at the Indianapolis School of Ballet is, for the fifth time in as many years, witnessing the glow of delight on the faces of a dozen Angels as the Sugar Plum Fairy swirls about them. Tiny as they are, these dancers on December 16 show they have absorbed something beyond the usual admonition to come onstage and get off without falling down or otherwise messing up. These Angels, imbued with the spirit of truth in performance, enticed me into their world of wonderment. And when they floated off it felt as though Angel dust glittered across to me to carry into my life for another year of savoring small delights, in the same way that Drosselmeyer, in a gesture of gathering ethereal airiness and sprinkling it upon Clara as she awakens, equally anoints me with everlasting powers of wonderment.
I knew I wasn't alone in this ownership when another person exiting whispered to me, 'I love this Nutcracker because it's so personal.'

NHL Picks – Nashville Predators at Toronto Maple Leafs
Will the Toronto Maple Leafs win a playoff series for the first time since the 2003-04 season? Toronto has been one of the most tough-luck franchises in the NHL over the last two decades. The Maple Leafs have been to the playoffs for six straight years, but they have failed to advance to the conference semifinals even one time during that stretch. They are currently all alone in second place in the Atlantic Division, and Toronto is a substantial favorite per the NHL betting odds at home against the Nashville Predators on Wednesday night.
On Wednesday, January 11, 2023, the Toronto Maple Leafs (25-9-7) will host the Nashville Predators (18-14-6). This is the first game between these two franchises this season, and they will face off at 7:30 p.m. ET on TNT from Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario.

Nashville Predators at Toronto Maple Leafs Preview
It's been an up-and-down season for the Nashville Predators. They have had losing streaks of five games and six games already this season, and they are currently in the midst of their third three-game winning streak. Nashville started the new year off right with a 6-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens last Tuesday, and they have gone on the road to beat the Carolina Hurricanes and Washington Capitals in their next two games. The Predators are in the middle of a six-game road stretch that will see them travel to face the Ottawa Senators on Monday night prior to this game.
Nashville has always had a defensive identity. Barry Trotz ensconced that onto the team during his 16 seasons in charge of the franchise, and that has continued even though the league has seen an uptick in scoring. That's why they are currently ranked in the bottom five in the NHL in goals (108), and they only have three players with at least 10 goals through 38 games. Conversely, they rank 12th in goals against (115), and that has them just a few points out of the playoff picture.
Filip Forsberg is the top offensive player on the team. Forsberg leads the team with 15 goals and 34 points, and he doesn't have a ton of power play goals that inflate his numbers either. Matt Duchene and Nino Niederreiter are the other players that have at least 10 goals for Nashville on the year.
The two stars of the team have been defenseman Roman Josi and goaltender Juuse Saros for quite some time. To hammer home Nashville's defensive identity, Josi is the franchise's all-time leader and single-season leader in points as a defenseman. The 2020 Norris Trophy winner has been with the Predators for 12 years, and he continues to play at a high level. As for Saros, he has never posted a save percentage worse than .914 during any of his seven full seasons with the team, but he sees a lot of shots.
Toronto fans are crossing their fingers that this is the year they finally wipe away decades of heartbreak. The Maple Leafs currently have the fifth-lowest Stanley Cup odds on the board, and they have one of the most talented teams in the NHL.
Mitch Marner has proven to be the real deal after signing a six-year, $65 million contract three years ago. Many people were skeptical of the contract, but Marner has been a dangerous threat and a great distributor with 15 goals and 34 assists to his credit. Auston Matthews continues to prove why he was a 1-1 draft selection seven years ago, and both William Nylander and John Tavares could be 20-goal scorers at the end of the season.
Ilya Samsonov has been rock solid in net too. Samsonov is 12-3-1 with a 2.29 GAA, ranking fourth in the NHL in that department. He has shored up the goaltender position after joining the team from Washington in the offseason and should be in line to make his first All-Star Game appearance.
Nashville Predators at Toronto Maple Leafs Prediction
The Under is going to be the best bet here given the style the Predators play, but Toronto is probably a solid play too given they have a rest advantage with two days off prior to this tilt.


"The game Hoffmann brings a little comic relief as the lieutenant."
"Kevin Hoffmann is especially good as the vain and overeager Lt. Rando."
"Hoffmann and Green give a heartwarming performance as they realize they are brother and sister."
"...Kevin Hoffmann and Jordan McArthur are wondrous, amusing servants at this party in progress."

Tobacco Advertising
Working with colleagues at HRIDAY (Health Related Information Dissemination Amongst Youth) in New Delhi, and WHO, we just published "Tobacco imagery in on-demand streaming content popular among adolescents and young adults in India: implications for global tobacco control" in Tobacco Control.
https://tobacco.ucsf.edu/streaming-services-flouting-india%E2%80%99s-regulations-banning-tobacco-imagery-all-media
Here is the press release BMJ sent out about the paper:
Stronger enforcement needed, while WHO guidelines should be updated, say researchers
Streaming services that are popular with teens and young people in India are flouting the nation's regulations on exposure to tobacco imagery in any media platform, reveals an analysis of 10 on-demand streaming series, published online in the journal Tobacco Control.
The rules, which are designed to protect young people, should be more rigorously enforced, and the guidelines for the implementation of Article 13 of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control should be updated to include streaming services and other new media, conclude the researchers.
Almost 266 million people aged 15 and older use tobacco in India, and the resulting health problems are "substantial," say the researchers.
In response, India has strengthened its tobacco control efforts, particularly in relation to teens and young people who are highly susceptible to the effects of tobacco imagery, by banning the advertising and promotion of all tobacco products in every media platform.
And since 2012, any film or TV programme containing tobacco imagery must include prominent audio-visual anti-tobacco health warnings for specified periods of time, irrespective of whether it's produced in India or elsewhere.
On-demand streaming services, such as Netflix, YouTube, Hotstar and Amazon Prime Video, have become increasingly popular among young people in India. The researchers therefore wanted to find out how much tobacco imagery is present in streamed content and how well streaming services comply with Indian tobacco control regulations.
They held focus group discussions with school and college students, aged 15 to 24, in New Delhi, to find out which streaming services they used the most and what they watched.
Based on these discussions, the researchers came up with the 10 most popular series, comprising 188 episodes. All but two of the series were streamed on Netflix; the rest were streamed on Amazon Prime Video. Only two of the series were Indian productions.
The 10 series were: The Marvellous Mrs Maisel (rated 16+); Stranger Things (16+); Bodyguard (16+); Riverdale (13+); Narcos (16+); Sacred Games (18+); Mirzapur (18+); Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (16+); 13 Reasons Why (16+); and The Crown (16+).
The researchers used a validated method (Breathe California) to count the number of tobacco incidents in each series. Incidents were defined as the actual or implied use of a tobacco product by an actor.
The analysis showed that 70% of the series depicted tobacco incidents which ranged from zero to 1652 in The Marvellous Mrs Maisel. More than half of the total number of episodes (57.4%) contained at least one such incident.
Narcos contained 833 incidents; The Crown 599; Stranger Things 233; Chilling Adventures of Sabrina 171; Mirzapur 78; and Sacred Games 67.
The Marvellous Mrs Maisel (18 episodes over two seasons) had the highest average number of tobacco incidents (87.5) per episode for the entire series, followed by The Crown (20 episodes over two seasons) with 29, and Narcos (30 episodes over three seasons) with 26.5.
Indian productions contained fewer tobacco incidents per episode and per hour than those produced elsewhere.
Four out of the 10 series depicted tobacco brands, including Mayburn, Camel, Marlboro, Salem and Newport. All these series were foreign productions.
But none of the series that included tobacco incidents complied with the tobacco-free film and TV rules in India.
Their analysis suggests that the extent of tobacco imagery and brand placement in on-demand streaming service content in India is high, while compliance with the rules is low, say the researchers.
"There is no reason to expect that the effects of exposure to tobacco imagery in streaming shows should be any different than the effects of tobacco imagery in films," they write.
"On-demand streaming content providers and governments should heed the lessons learnt from the film industry and apply the same rules to include tobacco imagery in the content available through on-demand streaming platforms," they add.
And it's clear that the legislation "is blatantly being violated in this new media, indicating the need for better enforcement of existing rules in India and updating the guidelines for implementation of Article 13 of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control," they conclude.
Here is the abstract:
Background India implemented tobacco-free film and TV rules (Rules) to protect adolescents and young adults from tobacco exposure.
Objective To assess tobacco imagery in online series popular among adolescents and young adults.
Methods Ten popular online series on streaming platforms were identified after discussions with participants (aged 15–24 years) in New Delhi, and content-coded for tobacco imagery following the Breathe California protocol. Incidents of tobacco use and brand appearances in each series episode were counted, and compliance with Indian Rules was recorded.
Results 188 episodes across 10 series on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video were coded. Seven series were rated age 16+, two were 18+ and one was 13+. The median number of tobacco incidents per episode in foreign productions was as follows: Amazon's 'The Marvellous Mrs Maisel' (87.5, IQR 62.0–116.0) and Netflix's 'The Crown' (29.0, 18.0–36.0) were higher than Indian productions: Netflix's 'Sacred Games' (9.0, 0.5–14.5) and Amazon's 'Mirzapur' (7.0, 4.0–11.0) (p=0.84). Tobacco incidents per hour ranged from 0 (Bodyguard, Riverdale, 13 Reasons Why) to 106.1 (The Marvellous Mrs Maisel). Seven of 10 series had tobacco imagery and none were compliant with the Rules.
Conclusion Contrary to Section 5 of India's Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act, its Rules are not being complied with by the streaming platforms. US-produced streaming media contains more tobacco incidents than Indian-produced media. There is an urgent need for better enforcement of existing Rules on streaming platforms in India, and modernisation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, Article 13 guidelines to account for new streaming platforms to protect youth from tobacco imagery globally.
What this paper adds
Section 5 of India's Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act (COTPA) imposes a complete ban on tobacco advertising and promotion in any form of media.
Streaming is a new form of media popular among adolescents and young adults in India.
We found that out of the 188 episodes across 10 on-demand streaming series studied, the US produced series – Amazon's 'The Marvellous Mrs Maisel' and Netflix' 'Narcos' and 'The Crown' had higher tobacco imagery compared with Indian produced series – Amazon's 'Mirzapur' and Netflix' 'Sacred Games'.
Section 5 of COTPA is blatantly being violated in this new media indicating the need for better enforcement of existing rules in India and updating WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control Article 13 guidelines.

A Cigarette by any other name is still a cigarette
The truth behind Philip Morris' cigarette-free future
The Philip Morris Campaign to Popularize "Heat Not Burn" Tobacco
Feb 21st, 2020
Inside the Philip Morris campaign to 'normalize' a tobacco device
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-philipmorris-international-iqos-insig/inside-the-philip-morris-campaign-to-normalize-a-tobacco-device-idUSKBN20F1Q7
(Reuters) – At Germany's Bambi Awards for the media industry in November, celebrities posed for red-carpet photos against a backdrop of established luxury brands. Alongside the likes of Mercedes-Benz and Swiss watchmaker Chopard was a newer name: IQOS, a "reduced risk" heated-tobacco device sold by cigarette maker Philip Morris International Inc.
Across Europe, Asia and South America, the tobacco firm has affixed the IQOS brand to music festivals and art exhibits. The company also markets through IQOS lounges at mountainside resorts in the Pyrenees and in fashionable neighborhoods of Rome. Throughout Europe, it has partnered with "IQOS friendly" bars and restaurants – closed to cigarettes but open to IQOS.
Such promotions are part of a wide-ranging "normalization" strategy by Philip Morris (PM.N) to scrub its image as a purveyor of cancer-causing cigarettes and present its new smoking alternatives as youthful, upscale lifestyle products, according to a ten-month study by tobacco researchers at Stanford University, who shared it exclusively with Reuters before its release on Friday. The marketing strategy mimics that of tobacco companies in the mid-20th century, when they started associating cigarettes with Hollywood and high society.
"Philip Morris, as a company name, is somewhat of a pariah," said Robert Jackler, a professor who led the study and heads Stanford's Research into the Impact of Tobacco Advertising. "IQOS is an attempt to sanitize their product line."
The Stanford researchers said their study was spurred in part by a May 2019 Reuters investigation that found Philip Morris had used young online personalities, including a 21-year-old woman in Russia, to promote IQOS. The company's internal marketing standards prohibit it from using youth-oriented celebrities or "models who are or appear to be under the age of 25." The Reuters report prompted the company to acknowledge it had violated its own policy and to suspend its use of social media influencers.
The Stanford study found that, although the company suspended its "most visible" social-media influencer programs, IQOS marketing continues to stray substantially from its corporate standards on youth-oriented marketing.
"Its use of youth-oriented social media channels, trendy pop music festivals and celebrity influencers are mis-aligned with their commitment to exclusive 'adult smoker' targeting," the Stanford report concluded.
Philip Morris declined to answer detailed questions from Reuters on its IQOS marketing strategy and the Stanford findings, saying it did not have access to the full report. "However, we doubt that there is anything PMI could say or do that Dr. Jackler, and others who criticize our scientific commitment and smoke-free vision, would ever find satisfactory."
The IQOS device is central to the firm's efforts to overhaul its image through such initiatives as its "unsmoke" campaign, which promotes such "smoke-free" alternatives as a way to accelerate the shift away from cigarettes. The device heats up but does not burn packages of ground-up tobacco, which resemble small cigarettes, to create a nicotine-filled aerosol that is similar to that produced by e-cigarettes, which heat flavored liquid nicotine.
At this year's Davos World Economic Forum in Switzerland – a gathering of some of the world's richest people – Philip Morris set up an "Unsmoke your mind" lounge, where panelists argued against regulations preventing "truth in marketing" by tobacco firms looking to promote smoking alternatives.
IQOS is sold in about 50 countries, including the United States through a partnership with U.S. Marlboro maker Altria Group Inc. The two companies pledged to regulators that they would market the device only to adult smokers, showing sample advertisements of adults conservatively dressed in business attire.
But in other markets across the world, the Stanford study said, Philip Morris uses "coaches" and "ambassadors" to market IQOS. In Romania and Russia, employment agencies recruit attractive women as young as 19 to market IQOS, according to job postings mentioned in the Stanford report and reviewed by Reuters.
Instagram postings for Be Like Me, a Romanian marketing agency, show young women posing with the IQOS device in recent months, often wearing robe-like uniforms in malls. The Instagram account for RBT Group, a staffing agency in Russia that markets IQOS, similarly shows photos of attractive young women in front of IQOS signs or posing with other "coaches."
Be Like Me and RBT Group could not be reached for comment.
Other Instagram accounts with the "IQOS" name, including one called "iqostyle.arm," based in Armenia, continue to show young women posing with the IQOS in what appear to be professional photographs. One photo on that account from last July – two months after Philip Morris said it had suspended all influencer marketing – showed Nika Shuvalova, a 22-year-old Ukrainian model, posing in a swimsuit on a boat with an IQOS.
Shuvalova could not be reached for comment.
A message sent to the "iqostyle.arm" Instagram account was returned by someone calling themselves Tiko, who said the IQOS postings were a "hobby" and that he had not been paid by Philip Morris.
BIG BET ON IQOS AND 'NORMALIZATION'
The stakes for Philip Morris are huge: The company invested $6 billion in developing "smoke-free" products such as IQOS in hopes of staving off a trend of declining global cigarette sales. In 2018, company CEO Andre Calantzopoulos told shareholders that it hoped to receive about 40% of its revenue – nearly $20 billion – from "reduced risk" products by 2025.
Internal Philip Morris documents underscore the importance of its larger strategy: "Make 'normalization' a PMI priority and imbed this mindset into the organization," read an internal company document from 2014, reviewed by Reuters as part of a 2017 investigation. The document also cited "the threats posed by PMI/industry de-normalization" – such as lobbying bans and exclusions from international treaties and trade agreements – "and the need to reverse this trend to drive future growth."
The Stanford researchers pointed to wide-ranging company efforts to associate IQOS with fashion, art and popular culture in a way that cigarette brands such as Marlboro have been unable to do, given changing social attitudes and laws around the world that prohibit such advertising and promotions.
IQOS has been present at events such as Germany's Bambi Awards – which honor stars in TV and film, sports, art and music – as well as that country's Playboy Playmate of the Year Awards.
Philip Morris worked with British sculptor Alex Chinneck on a dramatic installation at the 2019 Milan Design Week. The work depicted the facade of an old, two-story building being unzipped like a pair of jeans – meant to signify the IQOS "notion of opening the future," the sculptor said in an interview with FAD magazine. A representative of Chinneck confirmed the partnership.
The company also worked with distinguished industrial designer Karim Rashid to create an installation at the previous year's Milan Design Week. In an interview with website fashionrepublik.com, Rashid described his installation, showing two faces meeting one another, as similar to the IQOS, which he called "an intimate device that speaks to forward-thinking and original expression." A representative of Rashid said he was unavailable for an interview on Thursday.
GETTING TOBACCO BACK INTO RESTAURANTS, BARS
The company has also sought to distinguish IQOS from smoking through partnerships with restaurants, bars and salons who designate themselves as "IQOS friendly" spaces, where cigarettes are banned but the IQOS device is allowed. The Stanford researchers found evidence of hundreds of "IQOS friendly" establishments in places such as the Czech Republic, Ukraine, Romania and Japan.
Philip Morris did not respond to questions about its business relationships with the establishments that promote the device and display its branding.
The Stanford researchers and other experts say such policies undermine public smoking laws and encourage dual use of cigarettes and alternative devices. Many users will continue smoking outdoors, but turn to e-cigarettes or IQOS where they are permitted indoors. Such switching can "deepen nicotine addiction and make cessation less probable," the Stanford report said.
The brand also had a presence at a Tel Aviv University student music festival last year – where the minimum age for entrance was 16, and where a video showed young IQOS staff at a pop-up booth.
At a launch party for IQOS in Albania last year, a performer in an elaborate white sequined dress did an interpretive dance on stage with an IQOS, while another performer attached to wires performed acrobatic moves in the air while playing a violin.
"They're trying very hard to resurrect the glory era of smoking, where it was glamorous and sophisticated and stylish," Jackler said. "It's about associating it with all the good things in life."
Spinning a New Tobacco Industry
Philip Morris suspends social media campaign after Reuters exposes young 'influencers'
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-philipmorris-ecigs-instagram-exclusiv/exclusive-philip-morris-suspends-social-media-campaign-after-reuters-exposes-young-influencers-idUSKCN1SH02K
(Reuters) – Cigarette maker Philip Morris International Inc has suspended a global social media marketing campaign in response to Reuters inquiries into the company's use of young online personalities to sell its new "heated tobacco" device, including a 21-year-old woman in Russia.
https://www.reuters.com/video/?videoId=RCV006PLP&jwsource=cl
The company's internal "marketing standards" prohibit it from promoting tobacco products with youth-oriented celebrities or "models who are or appear to be under the age of 25."
The company told Reuters of the decision late Friday, saying it had launched an internal investigation into marketing posts and photographs that Reuters sent to the company for comment earlier this week.
They included a paid post plugging the tobacco product by social media "influencer" Alina Tapilina in Moscow – who listed her age as 21 on Instagram – alongside often seductive photos of herself drinking wine, swimming and posing with little clothing in luxurious settings.
"We have taken the decision to suspend all of our product-related digital influencer actions globally," the company told Reuters. "Whilst the influencer in question is a legal age adult smoker, she is under 25 and our guidance called for influencers to be 25+ years of age. This was a clear breach of that guidance."
"No laws were broken," the company told Reuters. "However, we set high standards for ourselves and these facts do not excuse our failure to meet those standards in this instance."
The company added: "We were deeply disappointed to discover this breach and are grateful that it was brought to our attention."
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) last month decided it would allow sales of the IQOS device in the United States after a two-year review process in which Philip Morris repeatedly assured the regulator that it would warn young people away from the product.
The FDA declined to comment Friday evening on Philip Morris's decision to suspend the marketing campaign. The agency earlier said it would "keep a close watch on … how the company is marketing its products."
While most of the social media influencers hired by Philip Morris overseas did not list their ages on Instagram, a Reuters review of the firm's social media marketing of IQOS in Japan, Italy, Switzerland, Russia and Romania shows that Tapilina's online persona was typical of what the company called its social media "ambassadors" for the device – rail-thin young women who revel in the high life.
The company did not directly respond to additional questions Friday night regarding the intended audience for its digital influencer campaigns.
Many of the messages contained the hashtag "#IQOSambassador," tying them into a network of social media influencers that the international tobacco giant has relied on to brand the IQOS as a safer alternative to cigarettes and a sexy fashion accessory.
"I finally have the new IQOS 3, and I can confidently say yes to change … the level of harmful substances is on average about 90 percent lower than in smoke," Tapilina wrote in an April post. "You haven't yet switched to IQOS?"
One Romanian IQOS marketer is 25 years old, according to a separate actress biography, but did not list her age on Instagram. Tapilina and nine other IQOS marketers did not respond to requests for comment.
Philip Morris, in its statement to Reuters, said its suspension of the social marketing campaign is "concrete proof" of its "conviction to achieve a smoke-free world through socially responsible practices."
Matthew Myers, president of The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, had a different take upon hearing of the suspension Friday night. The advocacy group collected some of the IQOS marketing images reviewed by Reuters.
Philip Morris, he said, "is changing their behavior only when caught red-handed."
The company, Myers said, has historically been "the single most successful across the globe in making cigarettes fashionable to young people."
Over the past year, Philip Morris has increasingly publicized its "mission" to prevent young people from using tobacco products. Last month, it issued a release calling on "all tobacco and e-cigarette companies to do their part to guard against youth nicotine use."
"Let me be clear: We at Philip Morris International do not, and will not, market or sell our products to youth," CEO André Calantzopoulos said during a speech in Boston earlier this month. "For Philip Morris International, age matters."
When Philip Morris submitted marketing plans with an FDA application for IQOS in 2017, its sample advertisements featured models appearing at least a decade older and wearing modest, professional clothes.
That application, which is still pending before the FDA, seeks approval to market the IQOS as less harmful than smoking and outlines company plans to ensure it doesn't market the device to "non-intended audiences." The device heats up but does not burn packages of ground-up tobacco, which resemble small cigarettes, to create a nicotine-filled aerosol.
In Japan, the intended audience for IQOS marketing includes the Instagram followers of Ayame Tachibana, a 27-year-old DJ and model. In one post, she shows off a Valentine's Day message for the IQOS device, lovingly scrawled with multicolored pens.
"Happy Valentine IQOS. Love you sooo much!" reads the Instagram post from February.
Alina Eremia, a Romanian actress and singer, holds a gold-colored IQOS in front of a Christmas tree.
"My list of resolutions contains 95% fewer moments without a smile," says Eremia, who is 25 according to her actress biography on multiple movie and celebrity information websites.
Philip Morris says the IQOS – an acronym for "I quit ordinary smoking" – contains up to 95 percent fewer toxic compounds than cigarettes.
Vlad Parvulescu, a manager for Eremia, confirmed she had been hired to promote IQOS and said she had been contacted by a Romanian public relations agency. He did not respond to additional questions about the financial arrangement.
Marketing deals between companies and social media influencers vary widely, according to industry experts. But typically a company will work through third-party public relations or advertising firms that have relationships with online personalities. Compensation typically ranges from $20 to $25,000 or more for each post.
Corporations have become increasingly sophisticated in how they approach their social media campaigns in the past two years, said Joe Gagliese, co-founder of Viral Nation, a marketing and talent agency that works with influencers.
He once had to explain the basic concept of an "influencer" in pitch meetings. Now, companies approach him with "tailor-made decision briefs saying, 'this is exactly what we want.'"
Reuters reviewed dozens of social media posts featuring the IQOS device. Many included hashtags such as #IQOSAmbassador, #paidad, and #notriskfree, indicating that they are IQOS marketing posts.
Many of the Instagram influencers featuring the products had tens of thousands of followers, and a few had more than a million.
VIRAL CAMPAIGNS, BLURRED LINES
Devices such as IQOS and Juul hold potential as a way for cigarette smokers to transition to less harmful nicotine products, but some public health advocates worry the sleek new devices are addicting young people who would have never smoked cigarettes. Among traditional cigarette smokers, 90 percent start smoking before the age of 18, according to federal data.
Philip Morris said there have been "no reports" of "worrisome levels" of unintended use of IQOS.
As part of the FDA review process, Philip Morris pledged to market only to adult cigarette smokers once it begins selling IQOS this summer through a partnership with Altria Group Inc, which sells Marlboro cigarettes in the U.S. IQOS delivers about the same level of nicotine as a traditional cigarette.
Altria did not respond to requests for comment.
Social media marketing has become a flashpoint in the debate over regulation of tobacco products, particularly the newest generation of products such as the wildly popular Juul e-cigarettes.
Some of Juul's early social media and YouTube marketing included images of attractive young people, particularly at a 2015 product launch party. Twitter images from that time on Juul's official account featured sensual images of a young woman breathing out Juul vapor in a group, next to the slogan, "Share a #Juulmoment."
Those early campaigns sparked an explosion of video and photo posts from young people showing themselves using the product at school or with friends, often under the hashtags #doit4juul or #juullife. Juul Labs Inc has since said it stopped using social media influencers and requires anyone in its ads to be a former cigarette smoker older than 35.
Juul Labs Inc said in a statement it recognizes that "some of our earliest marketing initiatives did not fully reflect the goal of our company," which it describes as helping cigarette smokers transition to its products.
"As a young company, we learned from our experiences and instituted changes to help ensure that we are only reaching current adult smokers," the company said.
CONDITIONAL APPROVAL
U.S. laws governing tobacco advertising – which is banned on radio and television – were drawn up long before social media and digital advertising became a dominant force in consumer marketing.
Although no current state or federal law restricts tobacco advertising on the Internet – including for e-cigarettes and devices such as IQOS – the FDA can use its authority over new devices to assert sweeping control over a company's marketing.
As a condition for allowing the device to be sold, the FDA is requiring Philip Morris to provide detailed analyses of the age ranges of consumers it reaches through digital advertising. Philip Morris is also required to submit any new advertising campaigns, including digital and social media efforts, to the FDA at least 30 days before it plans to launch them.
Any paid influencers promoting the product also must disclose "any relationships between you and entities that create labeling for, advertise, market, and/or promote the products, on your behalf, or at your direction."
Those rules aim to restrict youth access to tobacco marketing, the FDA said in a statement, "especially in shared digital properties such as social media sites."

Q: Knockoutjs dynamic templating and applying jquery effects to visibility transition Im using knockout js dynamic templating successfully to display different views depending on whether the user has clicked to view further details of an item.
basic code included below :

ViewModel = function () {
var self = this ;

self.ToggleDisplayMode = function() {

    self.DisplayMode() == 'simple' ? self.DisplayMode('detail') : self.DisplayMode('simple');
};

self.GetView = function (contentItem) {

    if (contentItem.DisplayMode() == "simple")
        return "SimpleView";
    else
        return "DetailView";
 };
}

ContentItem = function() {
var self = this;

self.DisplayMode =  ko.observable("simple");
}

This works very nicely and toggles between showing the different views based on whether someone wants to see the simple or detailed view.
What I would like to do is apply some transitioning effects so that the detail views slides down etc using the jqueryui effects library.
Im wondering how/whether this would be possible to intercept how the visibility switch so that I could apply some effects to this.

A: One option is to use the afterRender callback of the template binding as described here.
I actually generally prefer using a custom binding for this type of thing.  Docs on custom bindings are here and a post that I have that shows some common examples here.
In your case, the custom binding could be as simple as:
ko.bindingHandlers.slideVisible = {
  init: function(element, valueAccessor) {
      var duration = ko.utils.unwrapObservable(valueAccessor());
      $(element).hide().slideDown(duration);
  }
};

The init function only runs when the element is first bound and in your case when the template changes the elements are rendered again.  This would just immediately hide the element and then slide it down.
Sample here: http://jsfiddle.net/rniemeyer/mEAJR/


TGIF!! We have been in Charlotte for the week visiting my family but we are excited to get back for a fun weekend.
We decided to come to Charlotte and do a little back to school shopping for the kids. When I was growing up my mom and grandmother always took us and I loved it. So I love being able to recreate that tradition with my kids.
Who else watched the Bachelorette Finale? I did and I had a feeling she would choose Jordan, I am betting they don't last long. I am also pumped The Bachelor Pad started back up- it's so horrible it'S good. Chad has already provided some good entertainment. Wine + The Bachelorette is my idea of a good evening.
I am tottaly obsessed with Instagram stories. I could never quite figure out snap chat and this seems so much user friendly to me. I like that is also all in one app so I don't have to switch back and forth.
We made one of my favorite Kale Salads for dinner while I was home- you can find the recipe HERE. It is really good and it holds up well in the fridge it doesn't get soggy!
I am currently scheming ideas for Frances Moon's big girl room and this is one I have saved for for inspiration.
I don't normally have much luck for me in the Lily store (I love it for Frances Moon) but I fell in love with this yellow embroidered dress. It runs TTS, I am wearing a size small.
I wore it out for a girl's night with my mom and sister.
We tried out Cork Buzz a new wine bar in the South Park area. We all really enjoyed it. We sat outside and had wine flights and appetizers.
My Sunglasses are still on sale til Sunday and they restocked all the colors including the pink!
We loved the goat cheese dumplings, shisto peppers, and bacon spring rolls. We also had the corn dip and cauliflower and loved them too.
I was excited to actually be able to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary sale in person while I was in Charlotte and I picked up a few things.
I had eyed this sweater online since the sale started and once I tried it on, I knew I needed it.
It is so soft and will be perfect for Fall. Size down it runs on the large side, I am wearing an XS. I think it will be great paired with skinny jeans or even leggings and and a long tee or tunic.
Also loved this adorable dress and it's only $24 right now!
It comes in 5 color options. Since it was Juniors I sized up to a medium.
I bought these Pj's for Sterling and they are so so soft! On sale and only a few sizes left.
Sailboat PJ's– also in Outer Space Pattern.
While I was home my mom found these dresses my grandmother brought us back from Hawaii probably 30 years ago at least. Mine actually fit Frances and I was dying over how cute she was in it!!
If you hate to iron like I do you must get this hand held steamer. I have been using mine non-stop. It heats up quickly and really works to get all the wrinkles out of my dresses and blouses. It is small so it is easy to pack. Matt likes to use it on his work shirts too. It is on major sale right now.
The Nordstrom Sale ends in 3 days. Scroll through see my favorites and many items I purchased!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the wallpaper in the picture for FM's room! That yellow dress is too cute too!
