Hocus-fox thanks to smoking

A propaganda fight between Irish pub operators around the world, to protect smoking and the health authorities in countries that restrict smoking, proves to the "health experts" that the quality of the air coming to the lungs of beer drinkers has improved to a great extent. The Howard University survey conducted in 128 pubs, compared the situation in a "clean" pub compared to the air quality in a "dirty" pub and found differences not only in smoke but also in the amount of particles defined as "ancillary and harmful". Those who go beyond what is expected" in the face of the understandable enthusiasm of non-smokers, the lobbying activity of smokers who claim, among other things, that "a pub without smoking is not the same because the pleasure is not perfect" The fight sometimes reaches the courts, when the supporters of smoking, including pub owners, claim that the ban infringes on civil rights" among other things It was reported about a study conducted by scientists from the Commonwealth of Nations, who are trying to prove that smoke nevertheless has positive properties because it is. . . . Prevents the spread of various bacteria and types of bacteria. Opponents of smoking define the study as a "desperate and pathetic attempt" to protect smoking by means of "hocus-pocus that has no place in serious science"

Anarchy in KwaZulu-Natal
———————–
South Africa's internal policy includes elements of violence, some of which began even before the end of apartheid.
Things are particularly serious in KwaZulu-Natal and the concentrations of the Zulu nation in general. The struggle is between the African National Congress party ANC and Zulu groups and organizations, including movements calling for separatism and the establishment of Zulu autonomy as a step towards establishing an independent Zulu state. In recent weeks, the number of cases of political violence has increased, including murders or attempted murders. Most of the victims were elected officials or supporters of the African Congress. In the latest case in the series of collisions in the lives of politicians, a fresh congressman and two of his friends were murdered. Zaakli Chilai and his friends were shot to death in the House of Representatives. Eyewitnesses could only tell about "a number of armed men" who were seen in the vicinity of the house, about shots they heard and unknown persons who ran away and disappeared in the darkness. A laboratory test done on the bullets collected at the murder scene revealed that one of the weapons was used in 1995 by killers who massacred 19 members of Congress. A senior police officer from KwaZulu-Natal defined the situation as "madness in which they try to eliminate opponents in a move designed to bypass democratic procedures of overthrowing a political opponent through the ballot." The mass funeral held for the council member and his friends, somewhat reflected the anarchy in the rural area of KwaZulu-Natal, with thousands of policemen with armored and flexible assistance. They secured the funeral procession, in which many of the Congress leaders participated, among other things, the security measures were intended to prevent the thousands of mourners, most of them members of the Congress, from judging their political opponents.

Urge amputation - cut off his palm
-------------
An American television crew documenting a program called "Extraordinary Events in Emergency Rooms" has documented strange events, for example the treatment of a wounded man with a screwdriver sticking out of his skull, a hysterical woman with a spider on one of her scales, a boy with his penis stuck in a bottle, victims of assault by unconventional means such as a woman who had one of her scales cut off between her teeth Her neighbor is her rival and more of the oddities and strangeness of the emergency rooms of the United States. The television crew was just as amazed as the medical staff, when a forty-year-old man entered one of the emergency rooms who quietly announced, "The palm of my right hand was cut by my lawnmower." The man, who came to the hospital with a tourniquet on his arm, was put into one of the treatment rooms where they stopped the blood loss. After the doctor heard the story of the lawnmower, he called the police to come out to the Gidam house to check what exactly happened at the scene of the accident and if possible then collect the hand. Police officers conducted a thorough search of the yard and did not find any signs of an accident - they entered the house and after a brief inspection in the kitchen they found a work surface covered in blood and next to it a kitchen ax, a razor sharp knife. A trail of drops of blood led straight to the refrigerator where the severed palm of the wounded man was found. After the police reported to the hospital about the find in the refrigerator, they were asked to bring her to the emergency room while she was resting in a bag full of ice. To everyone's astonishment, the injured person announced that he had cut his palm on purpose and not by accident. Immediately after that, the hamstring refused to approve surgery to put the hand back in its place. Doctors who examined the model determined that the amputation was perfect, without crushing bones, therefore the state of the amputated limb and the stump allows fusion surgery. The tendon refused to approve the operation and the doctors, at a loss for advice, called a psychiatrist who interviewed the injured man and later said that the man had cut his hand because he was possessed ("fetish") amputation. The amputation of his hand thus fulfilled hidden enemies, which had accumulated in him for years. While the injured man was waiting to be dressed, after which he would return home, the ethics committee of the hospital was called, all this after the surgeons, who were preparing to connect the stump, refused to yield to the demands of the wounded man and be content with dressing only. The committee determined that a patient should not be forced to receive treatment and the same law applies to those who cut off a limb and refuses to allow fusion. At the end of a long day, the stump was bandaged and the patient, who refused to be hospitalized even for one day, left the hospital properly bandaged with the plastic bag in which his palm rested packed between ice cubes. Many viewers of the television program called the hospital or the health authorities and protested that David was not diagnosed as mentally ill and is not responsible for his actions and therefore there was room to force fusion surgery. The doctors' response was an exact quote of the words of the wounded man, "If you sew up your hand, I will cut it off again."

In Alabama, they are debating whether to fight equal rights fighters
----------
A year after the death of ROSA PARKS, the black civil rights fighter from Alabama, the House of Representatives of the southern state is considering a general amnesty for thousands of blacks and whites who were arrested in the XNUMXs as anti-discrimination protesters. Rosa Parks became famous when she refused to give up her seat on a public bus and move from the white section to the back section that was reserved for blacks. Rosa's struggle served as one of the motivations for a broad protest movement that led to the elimination of apartheid in some of the southern states of the United States. The law will pardon "and delete cases" for everyone who was arrested and charged with offenses against the public order laws at the time. Legislation that sounds logical and appropriate in almost all circles, is not simple. It turns out that even fifty years after the events of the struggle for civil rights, there are those who find a mistake in the abolition of apartheid in North America, or in its American name "SEGREGATION". Among those who oppose the proposed law are members of the House of Representatives who represent constituencies with overt or hidden racism, who say that erasing cases and sweeping amnesty is a "historical injustice" that cannot be realized. There are also those who demand that if the amnesty bill is passed, racists should also be pardoned, for example the members of the Ku Klux Klan. It so happens that a year after Parks passed away, Alabama legislators are still debating whether the separation between the races deserves full condemnation, not only within the framework of the laws of the state and the American Federation in general, but in the general public, of Alabama, some of whom embrace an ugly past of discrimination and inequality among citizens.

The spring troubles of cold cities
-----------
In the northern and cold cities of the world, located near and north of the sixtieth parallel, it is customary to define the seasons in terms that are not recognized in southern cities. In Canada, for example, it is customary to define the seasons of northern cities roughly like this: short fall, long winter, spring and. . . A season of road repairs, construction and renovations followed by a short summer and God forbid. The definition of a season in road repair concepts stems from the heavy damage caused to urban roads as a result of the snow and the intense cold that freezes layers of moisture that turn into a stiff and heavy ice sheet. The pressure of the vehicles and the melting of the ice causing water to seep into fissures and crevices destroys, quite literally, road after road. In Winnipeg, for example, a city of about eight hundred thousand inhabitants, the damage of the last winter reached a peak, presenting the city's fathers with a problem of what to repair and what damage to leave for the next season? The city and county newspapers published full pages of reports of the situation, which many believe makes North American roads look like they are riddled with shells and bombs. The WINNIPEG FREE PRESS daily published a large and photographed article, accompanied by drawings and engineering explanations of the potholes and defined the situation as a "pothole epidemic." The municipality, aware of the fact that it does not have the financial or engineering ability to repair all the damage, said that at least 200 potholes would need to be "patched", including the exposed potholes With the melting of the snow and ice. The municipality also said that to fill all the potholes, 000 tons of asphalt, a special type used to fill potholes and cracks, will be needed. The materials used for "fillings" are usually called "cold asphalt mixture" which allows quick repairs, but does not create "glue" of the filling to the infrastructure. The roads in the area are based on a reinforced concrete infrastructure on which hot asphalt is poured. Full repair of all potholes will cost tens of millions of dollars each season. One of the journalists summed up the situation with the sentence "The municipality has no budget." The engineers have no solution, the drivers are fed up with the weather. . . . I do not care"

Don has no regrets
------
Don Dingshort from one of the settlements in Western Canada, refused to accept the decision of his girlfriend to end their relationship after four years of love and happiness. The young woman knew a man who preferred over Don Shaman to accept the decision of separation. The lover Mil. Began to harass his lover and new girlfriend. The harassment included threats in writing, on the phone and verbal shouting, harassing the woman's parents and her employers at the hospital where she works as a nurse. Don also carried out a surprise attack near the hospital, in the yard of the woman's house and in various parking lots where he followed her. Repeated complaints to the police were of no avail. The investigation files that were opened one after the other against the reluctant lover did not help much, because the prosecution officer claimed that there was no actual assault. The situation changed when Don began to attack his former lover and new girlfriend with his fists, or with those and a hoe handle. The police were unable to arrest the grumpy lover, who went underground and was a wanted criminal, which did not reduce the determination of his decision to threaten the woman's life, which he defined in a series of phone calls with journalists as "an unruly lover." only and finally a scissor attack during which he emerged from behind bushes in the yard of the persecuted woman's residence, armed with scissors. Don threw our victim to the ground and began to cut her hair when luckily detectives appeared who managed to take control of the agitated and violent man. During a short trial, in which the assailant confessed to all the cases attributed to him, the opinions of psychiatrists were heard who defined his condition as "a prolonged and blinding shock" Don was sent to a long prison term, when the last sentence he said before he was led from the courthouse on his way to prison was "After all I have no regrets!"
