![]() his album with Roger Daltrey, is about to be released and he has no intention of. In an interview with Sky News in 2019, Daltrey reacted. 20, 2021, say musicians have been shamefully failed by the British government, which has left them facing post-Brexit restrictions on touring in the European. In his interview with The Independent, Daltrey also discussed his memories of The Who, his 2018 memoir, forthcoming projects, his views on Partygate, and why The Who are unlikely to make a new album. Brexit negotiators screwed up deal for musicians, says Elton John. Daltrey, an outspoken supporter of the Brexit adventure, previously dismissed warnings that leaving the EU would make touring more difficult. Every tour, individual actors and musicians should be treated as any other ‘Goods’ at the point of entry to the EU with one set of paperwork.” “I do think our government should have made the easing of restrictions for musicians and actors a higher priority. I would have preferred reform, which was asked for by us before the referendum and was turned down by the then president of the EU. The Who singer is one of a number of artists signing the letter in. The pro-leave campaigner was famously furious when asked what effect Brexit would have on bands touring in Europe. Roger Daltrey has put his name to a letter calling for visa-free travel in Europe for musicians, despite being a vocal Brexiteer. But now it seems the Brexit-supporting singer has indeed been fooled again, by Brexit. What’s it got to do with the rock business he. The Who frontman Roger Daltrey famously sung Won’t Get Fooled Again for decades. ![]() Roger Daltrey has signed a letter demanding action from UK govt to ensure visa-free touring in the EU. Daltrey previously made headlines in 2019 after snapping at a journalist who asked for his opinion on how Brexit would affect the UK music industry. “I’m glad to be free of Brussels, not Europe. Updated January 21st, 2021 In ‘ We knew exactly what we were voting for ‘, episode 21,498, very vocal Brexiter Roger Daltrey reveals that he definitely didn’t and we’re far too sick of this series to laugh. “I have not changed my opinion on the EU,” Daltrey said in a statement. In 2021, he then defended himself against hypocrisy allegations after becoming one of over 100 musicians – along with Elton John, Ed Sheeran and Liam Gallagher – calling on the government to resolve the freedom of movement issue for British artists. ![]() ![]() New GSTHR Briefing Paper: Tobacco Harm Reduction Must be Embraced in Sub-Saharan Africa.UK Study: Many Smoking Households in East of England Live in Poverty.ZOVOO Will Shine Again in the Vaper Expo UK – See You at the NEC Birmingham.FDA bans Juul from selling its vaping products in the U.S.FDA to Allow Temporary Distribution of Impurities-Containing Chantix Search Search for: Search Recent Posts (Zippix also sells a toothpick containing vitamin B12 and caffeine.) There are 20 picks in each package, and they’re primarily sold online. The last two are 3 mg strength, and the other four are 2 mg. The company sells nicotine toothpicks in six flavors-Cinnamon, Mocha, Peppermint Watermelon, Spice Island Clove, Sweet Whisky and Sweet Wood. But if they do, Zippix would be, as far as we can tell, the only consumer nicotine product made without leaf tobacco able to sell its products without enduring the onerous PMTA process. Whether the FDA will allow products that were not sold through typical consumer tobacco channels to be designated grandfathered tobacco products isn’t certain. However, Zippix never marketed the toothpicks as cessation products, or applied to the FDA as a drug delivery device (which could disqualify it as a grandfathered consumer product). They marketed the products at medical equipment conventions, primarily in the southeast (Kruk is based in Alabama). They were promoted to patients with breathing disorders by pulmonary physicians and respiratory therapists, but sold directly to patients over the phone. Kruk’s original company, a compounding pharmacy, began making nicotine toothpicks in 1993. Needless to say, avoiding the PMTA requirement is a significant market advantage. ![]() The FDA offers a formal grandfathered product determination, and has a database of products voluntarily submitted for that designation. 15, 2007 are considered “grandfathered,” and their manufacturers can continue selling them without jumping through the full set of FDA hoops. Manufacturers of those older products don’t have to do expensive toxicological testing or behavioral studies, like newer products (including all vapes) require. That’s how most cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products remain on and continue to dominate the market, even though the FDA has never pronounced them “appropriate for the protection of public health” (the standard required for post-2007 products seeking PMTA acceptance). 15, 2007 are exempt from the premarket authorization newer products must obtain to be legally sold. The 2009 federal Tobacco Control Act gave the FDA authority over products made with nicotine derived from tobacco-but products that were on the market before Feb. But in a toothpick, I can crank sour through the roof.” “With an e-liquid there a limit on sour that will come across in the vapor. “I approach it like vaping with a bigger opportunity to exploit the medium,” says Grefe. Conversely, the toothpick medium allows his stronger flavors, like Sour Candy, to shine without being harsh. Synthetic nic frees him to approach the products in the same way as e-liquid, blending delicate flavors that might not stand up to a strong nicotine sensation, like Butterscotch Cake. Grefe says that using synthetic nicotine allows him to take advantage of more subtle flavors that would be overwhelmed by the peppery sensation of organic nicotine. Crave’s price per pick is lower than the other brands. The company, started by former Congrevape owner John Grefe, sells 3 mg toothpicks in eight flavors (currently), which come 50 to a package. More on that company below.Ĭrave Nicotine Toothpicks uses synthetic nicotine, which is not currently regulated by the FDA. Of those, one submitted Premarket Tobacco Applications (PMTAs), two others did not, and the fourth, Zippix, is a regulatory story unto itself. The other four are made with tobacco-derived nicotine. ![]() One of these is made with synthetic nicotine. Keep reading if you’re curious about the products themselves, or the story of Zippix, the toothpick manufacturer that just might make history in the consumer nicotine space. Nicotine toothpicks are an oral nicotine product that works for many smokers (and vapers) as an alternative to cigarettes. But one nicotine toothpick company might qualify as the only non-tobacco nicotine manufacturer to have a product grandfathered onto the market and not subject to FDA premarket authorization. Like nicotine pouches and lozenges, toothpicks are a deemed tobacco product regulated by the FDA, even though they contain no actual tobacco. There’s also an interesting regulatory story here. Let’s face it, for many vapers in less-populated areas, finding the products they need is getting harder, and this is one nicotine product that isn’t subject to the shipping restrictions of the PACT Act. ![]() ![]() Go ahead and laugh if you want, but nicotine toothpicks might be an important option for nicotine users looking for alternatives to smoking and vaping. ![]() ![]() ![]() Anyone who liked the original Angry Birds games or just wants a well-thought-out artillery type of game will love Angry Birds Space. The same is true for the Android versions (same pricing) with one for phone screens and one for tablets. Fortunately, Rovio says it has "more in the pipeline." If history is any indication, we'll see new levels on a regular basis and eventually new level packs.Īngry Birds Space comes in a version for the smaller screens on the iPhone and iPod Touch (99 cents) and an HD version ($2.99) for larger iPad screen. Suffice it to say, you'll have a hard time putting Angry Birds Space down, and I suspect most serious players will burn through all 60 levels in a day or two. There are plenty of other goodies, but I don't want to ruin all the surprises. Once the mini-game ends, you're wormholed back to where you left off in the original level. The first of these is an unapologetic and amusing nod to Space Invaders, where instead of shooting at aliens, you're flinging birds at them. Angry Birds Space HD Overview Latest version ( version history) v2.2. For example, if you break a camouflaged "golden eggsteroid" midlevel, you'll be instantly transported (via wormhole) to a separate mini-game. What's more, Rovio throws in a few surprises along the way. You learn all these tricks as you play through the game's more than 60 levels, and it's that feeling of discovery that makes Angry Birds Space such fun. Sometimes the goal is not simply to smash into a pig, but to knock it out of a high orbit so it crashes to the surface. Other times you'll need to fling an exploding bird and have it explode near a rock that will go careening into your target. ![]() Sometimes you'll need to fling a bird in the opposite direction (counterclockwise, for example) around a moon in order to hit a target instead of what seems like the most direct route because of other obstacles. It can also get caught in a gravity well and whip around the moon several times before hitting anything. A flung bird might curve around a moon in one direction and then curve the other way once it passes into the next moon's orbit. The gravitational mechanic in many of the levels adds a completely new element to how you approach each level. Unlike the previous sequels, which were pretty much the same game in different settings, Angry Birds Space puts a new spin on things with gravity-oriented physics, new obstacles to navigate, and bonus levels that add to the fun.

Gochang on the other hand, was quite a pleasant surprise! To get to the dolmen site, you first have to get to Gochang city (by bus is easier), and then take a bus to the “goindol” site (the Korean word for dolmens). For its credit however, the single dolmen I got to see in the Ganghwa site was the largest and most impressive one of all. Given that rental cars were about 70 USD a day, in my opinion, it is simply not worth it. In addition, the dolmens in this area are kilometers from each other, meaning you will have to walk for a long time, spend a bunch of money on taxis (if any), or drive from one dolmen to the other. Even taxis, which were kind of expensive given the distances, were not frequent. It takes well over 2.5 hours from Seoul and once in the island (connected by bridges), public transportation is very scarce. Getting to Ganghwa using public transportation is a complete nightmare. If you are a lifetime resident of South Korea and have done pretty much everything else, and own a car, knock yourself out. I have been to the dolmen sites in Ganghwa and Gochang and let me be frank, Ganghwa is not worth the trouble at all. It doesn’t seem to make logical sense to care about someone who no longer contributes to the survival of our species, but alas, we are the only ones fascinated and influenced by our ancestral history. Maybe I am going out on a limb here as this is solely my perspective, but I feel that the existence of dolmen sites, especially in large amounts, are essential proof of homo-sapiens’s big leap forward beyond all other members of the animal kingdom. Although we are thought of as a social species, burying one’s dead and marking the spot of burial is a higher form of thinking unique to our species. These are called “coffin” style.ĭolmen sites usually date from 7000-4000 years ago, squarely in the stone age of humanity. Some, not gonna lie, just look like rocks. It is what they represent that is important. Take it from me, no one was marveling over these ancient people’s engineering genius. However, the architecture itself is not what makes dolmens special. Think of the style of architecture of Stonehenge and you have a pretty good idea of what a dolmen looks like. It was my last WHS on my Korea list and I must admit that I felt a little embarrassed for not knowing what it was.ĭolmens are a Neolithic style of burial site built out of stones, usually in the shape of a table. The article I stumbled upon went on and on talking about how the Korean peninsula alone has about 40% of the world’s dolmen sites. It is the same question I thought to myself when I looked up the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Korea last year. I know what you are thinking… what the heck is a dolmen?

Fun food a plentyĬostco offers all kinds of things that you might not think to buy, but that is totally awesome. My homemade pizza is better than Costco’s, but theirs is very decent for ten bucks. You can get a Kosher hot dog and a soda for a buck fifty. While it’s certainly not health food, Costco’s food court offers take-out/junk food for great prices. Last year’s check was $62, so we gained back $7. That is, if we didn’t earn that much in our 2%, they would give it to us. I can’t find the information on their site, but when we upgraded, they told us that our “earnings” check back would be at least the difference of the $55. While the Executive membership costs more ($110 compared to $55), it has always paid for itself. This membership offers 2% back on purchases, up to $750 for a 12-month period. Cash back for purchasesĪfter much kicking and screaming on my part, we finally upgraded to the Executive membership. Increasingly, Costco is offering more organic and cleaner food products. For instance, did you know that a lot of commercial tuna has soybean oil in it? Not at Costco. There are some items I will only buy at Costco because they have a better ingredients list.

Years later in my first pregnancy, Fish and I would make that long drive through dinner time traffic just for the hot dogs! Often it was his mom and I who would make the drive, eating at the nearby Soup Plantation or grabbing a hot dog at the food court. It was a good 45-minute drive, but it was worth it. (His nickname was Fish.) We lived in Santa Barbara the nearest Price Club was in Oxnard. It was over twenty years ago that I started shopping at Costco-the-store-formerly-known-as-Price-Club. ![]() Here are 8 reasons why you should shop at Costco.

But help them see that what applies to the Game of Life is meaningless to the Reality of Life. Play games like Life and Monopoly with your kids. Solomon presented a great case for changing the bumper sticker- He who dies with the most toys wins-to He who dies with the most toys still dies. Solomon wrote of pursuing wealth and happiness, but he found them meaningless. I’m currently reading through the Book of Ecclesiastes. I want us to teach our kids the value of money and doing well in business.Last year, my family’s annual Christmas card was based on the game.I spend hours playing this game with my twin sister.Now before you write me off as a curmudgeon who despises games: Is that the life lesson we want our kids to learn? ![]() So for years now, since we were kids, we’ve been playing with the unspoken message that the goal of life is simply to make lots of money so that when we get to be old geezers, we’re millionaire tycoons. And this hit its apex when the Parker brothers introduced their own game in 1935: Monopoly. Many games were built around the rags-to-riches objective. Other board games jumped on this bandwagon. The virtues on his board game would help you succeed in financial security. ![]() Bradley built his game around another ideal creeping into American culture: an emphasis on materialism. Yes, Bradley’s game dealt with virtues, but they were secular virtues, not spiritual ones. Rule 2: Athlete and Entertainer get a 10,000 X your spin number base salary increase when picked at the beginning of the game. Prior to Bradley’s game, parlor games for the whole family centered more around teaching morals and virtues. It encouraged a different way of thinking. The Checkered Game of Life did more than just popularize board games. In 1960, on its 100th anniversary, Bradley’s first board was reintroduced as The Game of Life. The Milton Bradley Company went on to produce a bazillion other games, and entice a couple of brothers named Parker to launch their own board game empire. (And I assume the right to yell, “You kids get off of my square!”) Just landing on the “Happy Old Age” square would get you 50 points. You just moved around a checkerboard, landing on either virtues or vices. Board games were still uncommon-a novelty- but the one Bradley created took off. Looking for something else to produce and sell, Bradley got an idea for a board game. Bradley had a stockpile of lithograph of a beardless Lincoln that was now useless. But then Lincoln ruined Bradley’s business by growing a beard. Milton Bradley (whose birthday is celebrated this week: November 8) had a pretty decent business in 1860 selling pictures of Abraham Lincoln. Life is the only game in which the object of the game is to learn the rules. You can thank a presidential beard for many of the games you enjoyed playing as a kid. ![]() |
