What Are Your All-Time Favorite xoVain Articles?
It's gonna get sappy up in here.
I recently went to the Victoria's Secret Semi-Annual Sale, which has long been a national holiday in the kingdom of Kim. I've been going to the sale every single year since... well... since I've even been able to wear bras. I know (from various click bait I've read online) that VS bras are not necessarily the strongest or most indestructible, but other brands' bras have quickly broken on me in the past, leaving me distraught and droopy, while my VS bras have lasted for at least a year (sometimes longer).
Because my bosom is on the larger side, I need to be able to try on the bras in person before purchasing. VS has always been there for me, like a reliable friend you see only twice a year but you know deep down nothing has changed. The relationship has always remained the same.
Until now.
I used to be a 36DD (which was their biggest size, cup-wise). As I'm writing this, I'm currently wearing an old bra that has 36DD written on the label. Upon entering the battle ground that is the Semi-Annual Sale, one of the sales clerks offered to measure me just to be sure. It turns out I'm now a 36DDD, which sounds nice in theory — especially in a society that wrongly teaches us to value women based on their likeness to a plastic doll's proportions — but try finding anything relatively cute yet supportive in that size.
Victoria's Secret only recently extended their line to include DDD (which means many, many women still cannot shop there). I had planned for this sale. I went on the second day. I went to a location in Queens (away from the hustle and bustle in Manhattan). Yet there were only two bras in the whole store in that size, only one of which didn't resemble a potato sack. Luckily, the non-potato-sack-one fit me. But only that one.
When the sales clerk asked me how the bras fit after my trip into the dressing room (because I was in denial and still tried on 29,178,119 DDs), I sighed. She informed me that they had many styles in my size for full-price — which kind of misses the point. If a 28A has a kabillion bra options for $14, I want the same privilege. #brafairnessforall
Oh Victoria's Secret. We've had some good times, we've had some bad times. But it's not me. It's you.
In the grand scheme of things, this is such a tiny speck of a nothing event. To be honest, I almost decided not to write this article because everything feels like fluff in the wake of this week's tragic news. But as a woman who has been sized out of a popular store that has helped to define what is sexy for our generation, I wanted to put my small experience out there so those who have had similar experiences can relate and feel less alone. (And because I'm still trying to even comprehend and process what has happened this week, I'm writing about bras.)
At the moment, I can only affect change through the choices I make and the causes I support. And I'm deciding to slowly ease up on a business that doesn't cater to or seemingly respect people of my body type.
For a store that markets based on the curviness of women, they don't really support curvy women whatsoever.

Details of Lehigh Valley Ironpigs Vs Toldeo Mud Hens and the Ticket Luck value
Baseball fever is in the air and it just does not get any better than this for fans of the minor leagues. This is your opportunity to make your way to the scenic city of Allentown in Pennsylvania. The Coca Cola Park will be buzzing with excitement as a thrilling game of baseball between the home team of the Lehigh Valley Ironpigs and the Toledo Mud Hens takes place. So without wasting another single moment, buy your Lehigh Valley Ironpigs vs Toledo Mud Hens tickets now before they get all sold out.
There can be no denying the popularity of the minor leagues in the country and when two of the most famous teams are playing; the atmosphere is bound to be electrifying. The home team has been estimated as being the second most valuable one in the Minor League Baseball due in large part to their Triple-A affiliation with the Philadelphia Phillies. It is interesting to note that the name of the team comes from the large quantities of iron that Pennsylvania is famous for extracting. In fact, the mascot of the team was changed from 'PorkChop' to 'Ferrous' and 'FeFe' to symbolize iron. In addition to this, the mascot wears the number 26 jersey which chemistry students will recall is the atomic number of the element. So come to the fabulous Coca Cola Park which boasts of seating more than 80,000 fans and cheer for the Ironpigs.
With a promising 2012 where they were within striking distance of the league leaders with a win loss record of 75-68, the Ironpigs have high hopes for this season. But they will need the support of every single one of their diehard fans if they are to overcome their famous opponents. So buy the Lehigh Valley Ironpigs vs Toledo Mud Hens tickets now to be a part of the excitement as the fans try to break the attendance record of 622,421 set previously.
The opponents of the Ironpigs are no pushover either. Coming all the way from Toledo in Ohio, the Mud Hens have more than a century of tradition and caliber games behind them. From way back in 1896 when the Mud Hens came in to being, they have been making a name for themselves with their exciting and riveting play. The history of the Mud Hens is derived from the famous 'team which was known as the 'Swamp Angels'. The striking name is owed to the fact that the team played in the Interstate League. The home ground of the team was in the Bay View Park which was quite a distance outside the jurisdiction of the boundaries of the city. Since it was more in close proximity to the marshy area, the local press eventually named the team as the 'mud hens' which was the local name given to the inhabitants of the marshlands; the America Coot.

The Daily Mail's Mimi Spencer on 'Jean Genie' Donna Ida Thornton and the Denim Clinic.
Fab-fit jeans here's the skinny By Mimi Spencer
Mind the gape, girls – the perfect pair needs wriggle room only
Jean Genie: Boutique owner Donna Ida
Duchess denim: J Brand 811 mid-rise
Fearne cottons on to Hudson's Nico.
So here's a personal question: what size jeans do you wear? Is your waist measurement, gulp, the same as your leg measurement? Could your husband – as mine did – wear your jeans if he got his own trousers soaking wet, having fallen in a river while on a romantic getaway break at The Pig Hotel in the New Forest, and still look reasonably normal? (He actually looked great, like the lead singer from an indie rock band. He swanned about the restaurant that evening as if ready to sign autographs and only got back in his box when he realised that pudding was out of the question.)
Still. He wore them and I was gutted. I'm not a strapping woman. I'm of average build. My jeans, though, tend to be of a roomy persuasion. If pressed to reveal why, I think it is because I suffer from a well-charted syndrome which afflicts most women I know: we all think we are bigger than we actually are. We look in the mirror and see a sideboard staring back, even though in reality we're more of an occasional table. Body dysmorphia would be the serious medical term for it, though my own version, and possibly yours, is more light-hearted and inconsequential than that. Body delusion, perhaps. Body folly. Whatever it is, it tracks us through life like an impish shadow.
This weird state of affairs was brought home to me recently when I paid a visit to Donna Ida's Denim Clinic in SW1. Here's how it works. You arrive and mumble something about being a size 32 waist (which, you remember with a wince, is the same as your husband).
Donna Ida Thornton – she is small, like a bracelet charm, blonde and cool and Australian – smiles knowingly, listens to you moan on about your bottom for a bit, and hands you a 30. You put them on. They're baggy, she says, pointing out the ruckled thighs and the gaping space between body and waistband, a space to keep snacks, perhaps, or spare socks.
Pretty soon, you're slipping down the sizes like a skier down a black run, Donna handing ever smaller pairs through the changing-room curtains, a magician pulling wonders out of the hat until you find the Magic Pair.
You emerge each time to stand on a podium and have a chinwag about the pros and cons of that particular style and size. The J Brands with the zip? The 811 mid-rise? A pair of Hudson Nicos in cobalt blue? The Current/Elliott Roller boyfriends? Donna and her skinny-fit assistants will bring all this and more to your happy bottom half. I arrived a 32 inch, and left a 27. This is heaven, I promise you, for anyone who's battling body folly. I felt like I'd won the Lottery.
Clearly, you'll now be gagging to go too, but if you can't get yourself to one of the stores (in Belgravia, Chelsea, Guildford and Westfield London), there's plenty of care/style/fit advice on donnaida.com. Here though, for tasters, is Donna's way to find the perfect fit…
● If they go on easily, go down a size. Premium jeans generally have two per cent stretch, so you should have to wriggle to get into them; they will give when they warm up with your body's heat. Jump up and down to get into them – that's fine.
● Look at the fabric around the crotch – it should look tight and not have any excess there.
● See how much room you have in the back of the waistband. If you can fit two fingers down there, OK, but a whole hand isn't good.
● Don't be afraid to alter jeans. Ask for an 'American' hem when taking up jeans, where the tailor cuts off the original hem and reattaches it at the correct length for you so you can't tell that your jeans have been taken up.
● If you have a very curvy figure (small waist, bigger bum and thighs), take a small wedge out of the back waistband to ensure a perfect fit.
● Read the care label. If it says a cold wash, make sure it's cold and not 30 degrees; there is more and more stretch in jeans these days and the hotter the wash, the more it will damage the elastane.
● Don't put them in the dryer! This also damages the elastane. Dry them on an airer or clothesline, not on the radiator.
● Don't lend your jeans to your husband, even if he has fallen in a river. It is unseemly for all concerned.

WILLIAMSPORT — Two West Virginia men were in police custody Sunday afternoon following a police pursuit that reached 100 mph and stemmed from an attempted burglary call east of Saint James, south of Hagerstown, Washington County Deputy Alan Matheny said.
The suspects fled in a red Kia van that hit at least one vehicle during the pursuit, Matheny said.
No one was injured in that accident, police said. The accident occurred at the intersection of Sharpsburg Pike and Lappans Road by the AC&T store, Matheny said.
The event began when neighbors reported seeing two white men kicking in a back door to a home on Kent Avenue, Matheny said. Kent Avenue is off Sharpsburg Pike east of Saint James.
Matheny was in the area and as he pulled up to the house, he saw neighbors point to the van and a chase ensued.
The chase went south on Sharpsburg Pike to Lappans Road and then over to Downsville Pike, which turns into Dam No. 4 Road, Matheny said. Then the van turned onto River Bend Court, Matheny said.
Matheny said his police car went as fast as 100 mph and the suspects' van was "over that."
The van hit a dead end in a cul-de-sac on River Bend Court, but was going so fast it went off the road into a yard, he said.
Both suspects got out and ran, Matheny said.
Matheny said he caught the passenger, who had laid down in the woods.
Deputy 1st Class J. Crawford and his K-9, Kabar, tracked the driver for about 40 minutes, finding him in a cornfield close to Shaffer Road, Matheny said. Shaffer Road is south of River Bend Court.
Merchandise was found in the van, Matheny said. At this point, police believe the merchandise is only from one home.

Our Opinion: Memories of state abuse can't be erased
Posted on October 23, 2008 at 8:07 pm by Amanda Ostrander
Source: Tallahassee Democrat
In the 1950s and '60s, the Florida State Reform School in Marianna, where many young male offenders wound up,
had a notorious reputation. Backyard scuttlebutt, especially among teenagers, is often wildly exaggerated, so the
tales of terrible beatings were easily dismissed. After all, they came from young men whose credibility was unreliable
to begin with.
They weren't exaggerating.
In an emotional ceremony Tuesday on the grounds of the institution now known as the Arthur G. Dozier School for
Boys, the Department of Juvenile Justice, which oversees the facility, acknowledged the horrific abuse.
State officials invited five men they call themselves the "White House Boys" after the whitewashed cinderblock
building where they were mercilessly beaten to attend a two-hour ceremony at which they were allowed to make
uncensored statements about their experiences. Healing was the goal.
Mike McCarthy, 65, recalled "blood spattered all over the walls."
Associated Press reporter Brendan Farrington covered the event. He described "a dark room barely big enough to
fit the bed (Mike McCarthy) and other children lay in while they were beaten so badly he said some had to have
underwear surgically removed."
Roger Kiser, 62, was sent to the reform school after running away from an orphanage in Jacksonville where he was
being molested. He said when he got to Marianna, he realized he was better off at the orphanage. The Associated
Press picks up his account.
"When I walked out of this building … when I looked in the mirror, I couldn't tell who I was, I was so bloodied. From
that day forward, I've never forgotten what rotten SOBs the human being can be.
"Nobody treated me with respect, I was nothing more than a dog," he said. "I certainly hope things have changed. I
pray to God."
In the building across from the White House, the victims said, was what they called the rape room.
"They were monsters," 62-year-old Robert Straley of Clearwater said of the state employees who abused him. "Oh
my God, the things they did."
After all five men spoke, Gus Barreiro, a former lawmaker who now oversees DJJ's residential programs, unveiled a
plaque outside the White House.
"In memory of the children who passed through these doors, we acknowledge their tribulations and offer our hope
that they found some measure of peace. May this building stand as a reminder of the need to remain vigilant in
protecting our children as we help them seek a brighter future."
It is rare for a government agency to acknowledge even errors of policy, but more rare to acknowledge such dire
human behavior stemming from judgments that one can only assume started from the top. This week's
acknowledgment improves the credibility of DJJ, of course, and the public can only hope that such horrors are now
truly part of the past.

The attack on Pearl Harbor (called Hawaii Operation or Operation AI by the Japanese Imperial General Headquarters (Operation Z in planning) and the Battle of Pearl Harbor was a surprise military strike conducted by the Imperial Japanese Navy against the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on the morning of December 7, 1941 (December 8 in Japan), 73 years ago today. The attack was intended as a preventive action in order to keep the U.S. Pacific Fleet from interfering with military actions the Empire of Japan was planning in Southeast Asia against overseas territories of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the United States.
As the first wave approached Oahu, it was detected by the U.S. Army SCR-270 radar at Opana Point near the island's northern tip. This post had been in training mode for months, but was not yet operational. Although the operators, Privates George Elliot Jr. and Joseph Lockard, reported a target, a newly assigned officer at the thinly manned Intercept Center, Lieutenant Kermit A. Tyler, presumed it was the scheduled arrival of six B-17 bombers. The direction from which the aircraft were coming was close (only a few degrees separated the two inbound courses), while the operators had never seen a formation as large on radar; they neglected to tell Tyler of its size, while Tyler, for security reasons, could not tell them the B-17s were due (even though it was widely known).
As the first wave planes approached Oahu, they encountered and shot down several U.S. aircraft. At least one of these radioed a somewhat incoherent warning. Other warnings from ships off the harbor entrance were still being processed or awaiting confirmation when the attacking planes began bombing and strafing. Nevertheless, it is not clear any warnings would have had much effect even if they had been interpreted correctly and much more promptly. The results the Japanese achieved in the Philippines were essentially the same as at Pearl Harbor, though MacArthur had almost nine hours warning that the Japanese had already attacked at Pearl.
The air portion of the attack on Pearl Harbor began at 7:48 a.m. Hawaiian Time (3:18 a.m. December 8 Japanese Standard Time, as kept by ships of the Kido Butai), with the attack on Kaneohe. A total of 353 Japanese planes in two waves reached Oahu. Slow, vulnerable torpedo bombers led the first wave, exploiting the first moments of surprise to attack the most important ships present (the battleships), while dive bombers attacked U.S. air bases across Oahu, starting with Hickam Field, the largest, and Wheeler Field, the main U.S. Army Air Corps fighter base. The 171 planes in the second wave attacked the Air Corps' Bellows Field near Kaneohe on the windward side of the island, and Ford Island. The only aerial opposition came from a handful of P-36 Hawks, P-40 Warhawks and some SBD Dauntless dive bombers from the carrierUSS Enterprise.
Men aboard U.S. ships awoke to the sounds of alarms, bombs exploding, and gunfire, prompting bleary-eyed men to dress as they ran to General Quarters stations. (The famous message, "Air raid Pearl Harbor. This is not drill.", was sent from the headquarters of Patrol Wing Two, the first senior Hawaiian command to respond.) The defenders were very unprepared. Ammunition lockers were locked, aircraft parked wingtip to wingtip in the open to deter sabotage, guns unmanned (none of the Navy's 5″/38s, only a quarter of its machine guns, and only four of 31 Army batteries got in action). Despite this low alert status, many American military personnel responded effectively during the battle. Ensign Joe Taussig, Jr., the only commissioned officer aboard USS Nevada, got the ship underway during the attack but lost a leg. The ship was beached in the harbor by the Senior Quartermaster. One of the destroyers, USS Aylwin, got underway with only four officers aboard, all ensigns, none with more than a year's sea duty; she operated at sea for 36 hours before her commanding officer managed to get back aboard. Captain Mervyn Bennion, commanding USS West Virginia, led his men until he was cut down by fragments from a bomb which hit USS Tennessee, moored alongside.
The base was attacked by 353 Japanese fighters, bombers and torpedo planes in two waves, launched from six aircraft carriers. All eight U.S. Navy battleships were damaged, with four being sunk. Of these eight damaged, two were raised, and with four repaired, six battleships returned to service later in the war. The Japanese also sank or damaged three cruisers, three destroyers, an anti-aircraft training ship, and one mine-layer. 188 U.S. aircraft were destroyed; 2,402 Americans were killed and 1,282 wounded. Important base installations such as the power station, shipyard, maintenance, and fuel and torpedo storage facilities, as well as the submarine piers and headquarters building (also home of the intelligence section) were not attacked.
Japanese losses were light: 29 aircraft and five midget submarines lost, and 65 servicemen killed or wounded. One Japanese sailor was captured.
The attack came as a profound shock to the American people and led directly to the American entry into World War II in both the Pacific and European theaters. The following day (December 8), the United States declared war on Japan. Domestic support for non-interventionism, which had been strong, disappeared. Clandestine support of Britain (for example the Neutrality Patrol) was replaced by active alliance. Subsequent operations by the U.S. prompted Germany and Italy to declare war on the U.S. on December 11, which was reciprocated by the U.S. the same day.
There were numerous historical precedents for unannounced military action by Japan. However, the lack of any formal warning, particularly while negotiations were still apparently ongoing, led President Franklin D. Roosevelt to proclaim December 7, 1941, "a date which will live in infamy".
Ninety minutes after it began, the attack was over. 2,386 Americans died (55 were civilians, most killed by unexploded American anti-aircraft shells landing in civilian areas), a further 1,139 wounded. Eighteen ships were sunk or run aground, including five battleships.
Of the American fatalities, nearly half of the totals (1,177) were due to the explosion of Arizona's forward magazine after it was hit by a modified 40 cm (16 in.) shell.
Already damaged by a torpedo and on fire amidships, Nevada attempted to exit the harbor. She was targeted by many Japanese bombers as she got under way and sustained more hits from 250 lb (113 kg) bombs, which started further fires. She was deliberately beached to avoid blocking the harbor entrance.
California was hit by two bombs and two torpedoes. The crew might have kept her afloat, but were ordered to abandon ship just as they were raising power for the pumps. Burning oil from Arizona and West Virginia drifted down on her, and probably made the situation look worse than it was. The disarmed target ship Utah was holed twice by torpedoes. West Virginia was hit by seven torpedoes, the seventh tearing away her rudder. Oklahoma was hit by four torpedoes, the last two above her belt armor, which caused her to capsize. Maryland was hit by two of the converted 40 cm shells, but neither caused serious damage.
Although the Japanese concentrated on battleships (the largest vessels present), they did not ignore other targets. The light cruiser Helena was torpedoed, and the concussion from the blast capsized the neighboring minelayer Oglala. Two destroyers in dry dock, Cassin and Downes were destroyed when bombs penetrated their fuel bunkers. The leaking fuel caught fire; flooding the dry dock in an effort to fight fire made the burning oil rise, and both were burned out. Cassin slipped from her keel blocks and rolled against Downes. The light cruiser Raleigh was holed by a torpedo. The light cruiser Honolulu was damaged but remained in service. The repair vessel Vestal, moored alongside Arizona, was heavily damaged and beached. The seaplane tender Curtiss was also damaged. The destroyer Shaw was badly damaged when two bombs penetrated her forward magazine.
Of the 402 American aircraft in Hawaii, 188 were destroyed and 159 damaged,155 of them on the ground. Almost none was actually ready to take off to defend the base. Eight Army Air Corps pilots managed to get airborne during the battleand six were credited with downing at least one Japanese aircraft during the attack, 1st Lt. Lewis M. Sanders, 2nd Lt. Philip M. Rasmussen, 2nd Lt. Kenneth M. Taylor, 2nd Lt. George S. Welch, 2nd Lt. Harry W. Brown, and 2nd Lt. Gordon H. Sterling Jr. Sterling was shot down and killed by friendly fire returning from the fight. Of 33 PBYs in Hawaii, 24 were destroyed, and six others damaged beyond repair. (The three on patrol returned undamaged.) Friendly fire brought down some U.S. planes on top of that, including five from an inbound flight from Enterprise. Japanese attacks on barracks killed additional personnel.
Fifty-five Japanese airmen and nine submariners were killed in the action, and one was captured. Of Japan's 414 available planes, 29 were lost during the battle (nine in the first attack wave, 20 in the second), with another 74 damaged by antiaircraft fire from the ground.
Possible third wave
Several Japanese junior officers, including Mitsuo Fuchida and Minoru Genda, the chief architect of the attack, urged Nagumo to carry out a third strike in order to destroy as much of Pearl Harbor's fuel and torpedo storage, maintenance, and dry dock facilities as possible, and the captains of the other five carriers in the formation reported they were willing and ready to carry out a third strike. Military historians have suggested the destruction of these would have hampered the U.S. Pacific Fleet far more seriously than loss of its battleships. If they had been wiped out, "serious [American] operations in the Pacific would have been postponed for more than a year" according to American Admiral Chester Nimitz, later Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet, "it would have prolonged the war another two years." Nagumo, however, decided to withdraw for several reasons:
- American anti-aircraft performance had improved considerably during the second strike, and two thirds of Japan's losses were incurred during the second wave. Nagumo felt if he launched a third strike, he would be risking three quarters of the Combined Fleet's strength to wipe out the remaining targets (which included the facilities) while suffering higher aircraft losses.
- The location of the American carriers remained unknown. In addition, the admiral was concerned his force was now within range of American land-based bombers. Nagumo was uncertain whether the U.S. had enough surviving planes remaining on Hawaii to launch an attack against his carriers.
- A third wave would have required substantial preparation and turnaround time, and would have meant returning planes would have had to land at night. At the time, only the (British) Royal Navy had developed night carrier techniques, so this was a substantial risk.
- The task force's fuel situation did not permit him to remain in waters north of Pearl Harbor much longer, since he was at the very limit of logistical support. To do so risked running unacceptably low on fuel, perhaps even having to abandon destroyers en route home.
- He believed the second strike had essentially satisfied the main objective of his mission—the neutralization of the Pacific Fleet—and did not wish to risk further losses. Moreover, it was Japanese Navy practice to prefer the conservation of strength over the total destruction of the enemy.
At a conference aboard Yamato the following morning, Yamamoto initially supported Nagumo. In retrospect, sparing the vital dockyards, maintenance shops, and oil depots meant the U.S. could respond relatively quickly to Japanese activities in the Pacific. Yamamoto later regretted Nagumo's decision to withdraw and categorically stated it had been a great mistake not to order a third strike.

Murashov, associate professors Y. Bazarnova, T. Burov are working more than 20 years.
The American Institute of Food Technologist noted 10 the most significant innovations in the area of conservation for the previous 100 years in 1994.
A method of processing foods by high temperatures for a reduced period of time known as aseptic processing and packaging
Optimization of mode of sterilization of canned products which ensures their safety
A method of processing foods in the field of high and ultrahigh frequencies which is designed based on the design of microwave ovens
Technology of cryo concentration citrus juice
The method of storage of fruits and vegetables in condition of controlled gas environment (theoretical foundations of this method of storage were laid by Russian scientists F. Tserevetinovym, J. Nikitin and V. Zagoryansky. Results were reported at the international congress of refrigeration in 1914 in Tiflis)
The technology of freeze-drying food , the author of which is a Russian engineer in oil drilling Lappa - Starzhenitsky discovered well-preserved berries which accidentally hit the hood of the vacuum pump in 1925
Technology of fast food freezing
The concept of water activity in order to assess the degree of exposure of dried products with intermediate microbiological moisture and other deterioration
Use of food additives to increase the duration of storage of food
Development of technology of processing of milk by ultra-high temperature in a short period of time (over 1300C for 1 ... 3 seconds).
The Department works in these areas of research and builds profile of special subjects and disciplines of specialization. Profile disciplines in the Department are: "Refrigerated food technology", "General technology of branch", "Theoretical foundations of conservation", "Technology of conservation", "Technology of meat and meat products", "Drying technology", "Designing of enterprises with using authorized system of designing". Elective courses taking into account regional and occupational specific: "Technology of fish and fish products", "Technology of canning of plant products" were introduced for a variety of disciplines. Elective courses are focused on obtaining by students specific knowledge in the area of their future professional activity. The Department conducts training sessions in other Departments of the institute such as Departments of refrigeration, technique of food production, economics and management in the disciplines "Technology of food production» and " The technology of branch."
The Department has new educational laboratories on refrigeration technology, general technology, canning technology, technology of meat in accordance with courses. Educational laboratories are equipped with modern equipment, instruments and systems. It allows students to study comprehensively and thoroughly the laws effects of low and high temperatures on food products with a refrigerant and high-temperature canning, to simulate processes of canning industries.
Sausage matter penetrated in the Russian from Western Europe through Poland, Lithuania and Galicia at the end of XVII century. German butchers were about 20 by Peter I in 1789-1790 in Russia. Famous sausage invented by "Petersburg pupil of a German butcher" Rusinov in Uglich went on sale thanks to the development of Russian mode of production at the beginning of the XIX century. It was not only extremely tasty, but could be stored 2 years without spoiling. 50 sausage shops employees of which were highly qualified Russian wizard were in 1858-1859 in Uglich. 50 from 74 sausage institutions in St. Petersburg belonged to Uglich masters in 1886. First export of Russian sausages abroad started from St. Petersburg sausage shop of Bychkova. It is curious; the first technological instruction on making Russian, Little Russian, Polish and Lithuanian sausages and smoked meats was compiled and published by masters in 1858. Russian master pushed especially German butchers in Moscow.
The first period of development of the meat industry in the USSR was characterized by socialization, rehabilitation and partial refurbishment of old enterprises and slaughterhouses. New intestinal factories, bacon factories, albumin plants and meat processing plants were built at the same time. However, this construction has neither satisfy the increasing demands of the economy nor the pace of development, nor the technical level.
All-Union Scientific Research Institute of the meat industry was founded in 1931. Moscow Institute of meat and dairy as well as Departments and Departments of Meat Technology in institutes and universities across the country were opened.
There was a sharp decline in the production of meat and meat products in 1995. Reducing the volume of production of meat and meat products was due to the reduction of the weight of livestock and poultry to be processed, the unresolved issues payments and mutual debts between enterprises and suppliers.
The Department began to educate technologists in "Technology of meat and meat products" for the ensuring of the North-West of Russia by specialists since 1997. More than 200 engineers to work in meat processing plants of the country have trained for 10 years. The Department is among the best in the training of technologists. Agreements were concluded with the leading meat processing companies in the industry of the North-West region of the Russian Federation. The Department works with more than 10 meat processing plants of Northwest region : Krondshtadsky m / c, Parnas-M , PC "Peterburzhenka","Sagittarius", "Novgorod meat yard" Starorussky m /c, JSC "Meatland", LLC "Roshinsky delicacies" as well as Tosnensky feed mill and other on the basis of economic agreements and treaties on creative cooperation. One of the main areas in condition of the shortage of raw materials is the introduction of resource-saving technologies which allows implementing deeper processing of raw materials, reducing production costs and increasing its competitiveness. These lines are a priority in the research activities of the Department «Technology of meat and meat products".
Grounds of Department increased by 300 square meters at the expense of spaces owned previously by the library in 1987-1988. The spaces have been converted into educational laboratories: the floors were reinforced, water and power electricity were summed. Old laboratory spaces have been modernized, equipment have been purchased, mostly imported as finished laboratories. Two new laboratories were established at the Department with help of enterprise-partners in 2002-2004: laboratory of meat processing and laboratory of methods of analysis of raw materials and products of animal and vegetable origin which are among the best in the country. Joint seminars with center for continuing professional education of institute of refrigeration and biotechnology of ITMO, laboratory and research works are carried out for technologists of meat processing enterprises on the base of these laboratories.
Fishing in Russia was produced mainly in the Caspian, Azov, and Aral seas and lakes and rivers waters before the revolution. The total catch of fish was only ten millions of kilograms. Currently, about 115.9 millions of tons of fish and other sea products are produced in the world annually according to food and agricultural organization. Russian fishing industry produces a wide range of fish products, canned and preserved and salted, smoked and dried products.
Training of specialists began within the specialty "Technology of fish and fish products" in specialization "Technology salted, smoked, dried and dried aquatic organism" at the Department since 2006. Leading experts from "Giprorybflot", "Federal State Budgetary Institution" and "National center for the quality of fish products" were invited to give lectures on special subjects. The Department cooperates actively with leading universities in the Russian Federation cities of Murmansk, Kaliningrad, Vladivostok, Khabarovsk on educational and scientific areas of the specialty. Currently, active work on creation of a specialized laboratory "Technology for processing aquatic organisms" which will bring the university to the leading positions in the Russian Federation in this specialty is carried out.

"As successful tech entrepreneurs who were blessed with great mentors and opportunities along the way, my colleagues and I place value on giving back to the next generation of tech leaders like Bradley." -Robert C. Johnson, TeamSupport CEO
Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) February 18, 2014
TeamSupport.com helpdesk software is pleased to announce that Bradley Mahoney, a sophomore at the University of Texas at Austin, has been selected to receive TeamSupport's 2014 Future Technology Innovators Scholarship.
The $2,000 scholarship, which is designed to promote technology entrepreneurship and support the next generation of technology innovators, is awarded to one student currently enrolled in an accredited college or university who is studying technology, computer science, web development, business or a related field.
Mahoney, a native of Lake Orion, Michigan, is majoring in computer science at the University of Texas – Austin. He will graduate in the spring of 2016 and aspires to own a software or green environmental technology company in the future.
A recent Hewlett-Packard intern and the co-founder of a small technology consulting company, Mahoney first became interested in computers as a child, playing video games and then working his way up to more sophisticated computing. "I took a programming class in high school—and it just clicked," he said. "I thought, 'This is so much fun, why have I never done this before?'"
"As successful tech entrepreneurs who were blessed with great mentors and opportunities along the way, my colleagues and I place value on giving back to the next generation of tech leaders like Bradley," said Robert C. Johnson, co-founder and CEO of Dallas-based TeamSupport. "This support is especially critical during a time when national headlines continue to dominate about the sluggish economy and the difficulty students face paying for college and gaining meaningful professional skills."
Over the course of his career as an information technology professional, entrepreneur and CEO, Johnson has founded and led multiple technology and software companies. In 1994 he founded Sundance Digital, the creator of software for TV stations to control the playout of commercials and programs—a technology that today touches everyone who watches TV. After the company was sold to Boston-based Avid Technologies in 2006, he founded TeamSupport.com, one of the leading collaborative customer support software suites on the market. Johnson also is a frequent guest columnist for Wired, DestinationCRM and CustomerThink, several leading technology and customer support industry resources.
Johnson, who mentors up-and-coming entrepreneurs, says: "I tell young entrepreneurs, just do it. There is no better time to start a company than when you are young. The older you get, the more you have to risk and the more tempting a safe job is. When you are young, you can afford to take the risks to start a company—and you have the energy and passion to make it happen. I'm proud to help young business people gain the skills and experience to do just that."

My brother got me to try them again and well worth the time and money.
Very impressed. Ash as pure and white as the driven snow, with a flavor to die for. Not the most even burn I've ever seen, but superior in every other regard. Rich and full without being overpowering; I would describe it as fresh and smooth, with very minimal spiciness. My kind of cigar.

I had posted in one of my blogs to get out while you can from the U.S. and some people feel that, that is a little harsh maybe even tin hat time for me to say that. First off I love the U.S. don't get me wrong. But one has to start to look at facts and try to foresee what COULD happen and where your going to be when and if it does. No one can say that the u.s. is not in trouble. We are in many wars that are killing off our young people at a cost to us in the trillions of dollars. They are going to reraise the debt ceiling again and more bail outs are coming. all this is being done but yet the will of the people are saying NO NO NO... china has dumped their holdings with the u.s. and are not willing to hand us anymore money.
Your money is not backed by anything, no gold or silver, it is backed only by the faith that people have in it to be honored. When that faith is gone so is your dollar. already our AAA rating is being downgraded. 45 million american's are on food stamps. home prices are sliding down yet again. Jobs have been shipped overseas, the big hiring last month was at McDonalds. A job that use to go to high school kids is now being replaced with college kids with degrees.
It's just not my thinking that you might be better off outside the u.s. or at least outside of the large cities in the u.s. CONGRESSMAN Roscoe Bartlett just put out a video about urban danger where he states 'those who can should move their families out of the city" his fear is in a solar flare that will take out the power grid. NASA has been watching this for a long time and they feel this could very well happen and soon. Right now the sun is throwing a lot of solar flares our way. Don't think this couldn't happen and it's a theory, It has already happen in the past. It was just at a time that many places were not hooked up to the grid like they are today. heres the video link if you want to see it, http://theintelhub.com/2011/05/28/congressman-warns-%E2%80%9Cthose-who-c...
it goes on to state that economist Marc Faber, and trend forecaster Gerald Celente are recommending you prepare and head for rural areas. The US Pentagon and Military are very much aware of these possibilities and they're preparing for exactly the scenarios described in this documentary.
Now I'm not yelling the sky is falling the sky is falling. but anyone can see that tuff times are coming, where do you see yourself when it hits? if your boat flips and your in the water, is it time then to start looking for a life jacket? all I am saying is it's time to prepare for the worse. Many of you that live in fla, have been through bad weather, what happens at home depot if you wait to go stock up? no plywood for your windows maybe? batteries and water and supplies are gone?
I moved my family to panama. Now I understand when tuff times hit the u.s. it will also hit the world and no place is a safe haven. not even in panama. but I look at the problems that I won't have to deal with here, compared to the states.
1. it never gets cold here, so we wont freeze without power or fuel
2. it never gets to hot here, so we won't burn up without power or fuel
3. we can grow all year round here
4. ratio of people to guns here is very low compared to the u.s.
on that one I must say I have seen street guns the police take off people here and many are worn out, old and rusted junk. I can walk into any hood in the u.s. and buy the best newest weapons out there.
5. panama has many poor people, that are use to living without many things. If you compare the avg teenager here to one in the u.s. it's night and day. the teenager here has a small cot in one room that he shares with other people. he might have a 20.00 cell phone without time to make a call. One only needs to walk into a u.s teenagers room and start counting the toy's. Kids here wouldn't feel the hit of having all that taking away. can't long for things you never had.
6. I have a fresh deep underground source of water.
7. we have oceans on both sides which will be a source of food for many.
8. we never have hurricanes or tornados
9. food is local grown and plenty of it.
10. its a cleaner country, without the factories that pump out smoke and chemicals.
11. we have far less gangs and people hooked on drugs here as well.
there are 11 things just off the top of my head that I don't have to worry about. what if I lived in new york, would all these apply?
I live each day, happy, I go out and live life to the fullest, I don't sit here and worry about all this but I am PREPARED, in case it does. are you? do you have food stocked up? water, guns? what is your plan if something like this hit. I have 100 cases of pint bottle of cheap liquor. I can trade one for a chicken or pounds of rice or beans.
is where your living a safe place, if not do you have a place in mind that you can get too away from the cities? getting to it is a big issue as well, if everyone hits the road trying to get out, then the highway will be worthless once a few cars run out of fuel. now you can't make that 75 mile drive.
many people will dismiss this post as a rant from a nut case. fair enough I'll been called that before. I was called that when I told friends to start selling off their real estate holding and to buy gold years ago. they didn't do it of course and said your nuts, now they can't do either one. Their holdings are worthless and many have just handed them back over to the banks because they were upside down in them.
just spend a little time and think over this post, yeah I understand there are some if's and maybe's in there, it reminds me of when my dad would have fire drills in our home, as a kid I would hate to be woken up for a drill, it seemed like a waste, until one night my dad yelled fire and we all were standing were he told us to be, all safe and accounted for while we watched the house burn.
love you all

This thread went absolutely
This thread went absolutely no where. Great post to the 802 Guy. Alot of people are blind to the fact of what is going on in America. Too many reality shows have their minds in a frenzy. Not to mention Jersey Shore. If you watch that show and like it, I think you need a reality check.

Shhh about your location if you intend to avoid moochers and poachers. Now that idea of much desired trade items deserves more thought. I'm thinking toilet paper, cosmetics, perfume, panty hose, hair spray, tooth paste, deodorant, Hustler, tobacco, lots of rum.... gasoline, kerosene, matches, condoms, playing cards, board games, .... what else? I'm thinking that the poles might be most affected by solar radiation. Ultraviolet is worse at altitudes. Volcanoes are easy to spot and we know the tectonic movements enough to keep a distance. EMP would be a problem for anything not hardened.
What kind of cheap liquor and where you at? Will only help people to prepare for rough times. Things get better, those who prepare and think things over can make some changes necessary for a healthy future. Change is indeed in order the US dependence on cheap fuel is ridiculous. People need to change. Do you need a big as truck to use as a car? Do you need a 5 bedroom mansion for 2 people to retire in? Do you need Nascar? Some things have gone way wrong and I hope its not too late to change.
Rough Times
Does anyone remember Howard Ruff and the Ruff Times from about twenty-five years ago? But I was newly married to a Jr. Miss and life was looking lovely and hopeful. Now I'm almost 62 and she has a young boy friend that gets ... well, everything is different. Now, I am broke, busted and hoping someplace in Panama or Ecuador hides part of the answer. Shearson cleaned me out of my silver profits by failing to sell on my Stop order.
Your post
Wow! They say that I'm negative, but dude, you take the cake. Have you studied your history? Do you think that the events you interpret as sure signs of pending disaster have not occurred before? Solar Flare? If that is indeed a concern of yours, don't you realize that Panama is closer to the equator than the U. S., therefore in a geographical area more likely to suffer the ill effects of such an event than is the U. S.???? (Hint: the equator is the closest part of the earth to the sun).
Good post 802mark, You are just reiterating what many people are saying. Simon Black of "Sovereign Man" has been saying this quite a bit lately. It the book "The Big Short", where they interview people who made a boatload of money when the housing market crashed - that was one of the fears of all the people interviewed - that once the American people had found out how they had been screwed, they would revolt. Just did not happen - YET. True foresight - it is the time of action - when the house of cards fall, it will be very fast - then it will be to late. Good advice that few will heed. Cheers, John D. Wilson aka- The Big Mozey

What up, heroes in a half-shell!
Dudes and girl dudes, you're probably feeling pretty invincible right now. You're young! You have your whole life ahead of you! What could possibly happen? Well let me tell you a snap: you're not invincible. You are completely vincible. In fact, you are very fragile. Like an egg, or a Nintendo DS. I'm not saying not to take some risks every once in awhile. It's important to get out there and have fun with your homies. But hundreds, maybe even thousands of kids just like you are murdered every year by accidents that could have been prevented. JUST SAY NO. TO ACCIDENTS. When you're out on your in-line skates, wear a helmet. When you're having terribly awkward and incredibly embarrassing sexual experiences with your partner (who is equal to you in every way, and who you treat with respect), wear a condom. And when you're in a car, wear a seatbelt. Wearing seat belts is DA BOMB.
Speaking of seat belts that are da bomb, I want to rap to you today about a pretty cool seatbelt. It's the official seatbelt of Twilight. Oh, I'm sorry, DID YOUR HEAD JUST FALL OFF? You heard me right. There is no seat belt that can quench Edward Cullen's thirst for Bella Swan's lifeforce quite like the seatbelt in the new Volvo XC60. Don't believe me? Just ask these clumsily edited images of Robert Pattinson standing next to a car!
There is more to life than a Volvo, but there is nothing more to life than basing all of your major purchases on an obsession with a paranormal metaphor for sexual anxiety for children. Tell your parents to buy a Volvo XC60 today! They'll listen to you, because this whole thing just makes sense.
(Thanks for the tip, Clarissa.)
