Nicotine A Murder Weapon?

In a recent episode of Hawaii Five-O difficult to trace poison used as a murder weapon was liquid Nicotine. Well known as a powerful insecticide, in this case it was introduced into the victim's water bottle.

That is television but it is known that the amount of nicotine in an average cigar if injected will result in immediate death. Again bad news but unlikely to occur outside of a murder mystery.

But it's not hard to draw the obvious conclusion that smoking is just a slow way to be poisoned, it's starting to sound like another crime plot!

Except this plot has some strange twists. A poison in disguise as a social pleasurable drug was made acceptable, fashionable, cool, a symbol of toughness or sophistication.

The world embraced it, it was supported by doctors, made even more popular by Hollywood, it was in many ways the perfect product. It sold itself, it was just a question of which brand to choose.

The slow poisoning of generations had begun. As early as 1908 it was determined that smoking was harmful to health, yet the all-powerful cigarette juggernaut kept pushing the good for you line.

Well paid PHD's and medical doctors whose pockets were lined with cash would front the media and lie through their teeth.

In the early seventies researchers declared that smoking caused cancer. The American government suppressed this data until eight years later they could no longer ignore the facts.

So now the truth began to emerge yet the slow poisoning continued, and it continues until today. The difference is everyone in the western world is aware of the continued poisoning on yet another generation.

Of course as a smoker you don't think of it in those terms, you're aware of all the health problems but the truth is re-framed in a more acceptable way. No government has the courage to come and point a finger at big tobacco and state that they are poisoning their population.

Why? Because they would have to admit to being complicit in this slow poisoning. But of course they their interest is divided into promoting quit smoking and collecting huge taxes.

The good news about this particular poison is that when you quit you will start to recover quickly and within a year or so you will mostly be free from the effects of the nicotine poison.

So when you are ready to quit and you need the perfect antidote, hypnosis is the best answer, and just like the best crime stores the victim will recover just in time!

Car Stereo Systems Tips

Pioneer produced one of the best product lines in car audio industry with their Premier Series amplifiers. As early as 2005, Pioneer has made great advancements with the Premier Series in amplifier technology, characterized by their great power handling and efficiency.

In the case of car audio, many contemplate constructing a well-balanced system, usually never. The most vital part of your music system is in fact managing the various highs, mids and lows, getting them to circulate beautifully inside of the car, collectively. This is going to allow you to hear the finest depth, every detail, your tunes can give.

If you're searching for a louder sound system, you should purchase a 4 channel amp to power the four speakers installed in the front and back. Whenever you pick out your speakers, don't forget to pay consideration to the RMS rating. The RMS rating will be the amount of watts the speaker will handle consistently. Whenever all four speakers are identical and handle 50 watts RMS each, buy an amp that offers 50 watts RMS for each channel.

When your speakers are diverse sizes for the front and back plus handle differing RMS ratings, by way of example, your front 4-inch speakers handle 40 watts RMS and the 5 1/4" rear speakers handle 65 watts RMS, select a 4-channel amplifier that delivers 40 watts RMS per channel. Each speaker will definitely be loud enough and you simply are not going to have to be concerned with damaging the smaller speakers.

The "X 4″ means that the amp has 4 output channels. The "RMS" stands for "root mean square" and is a method of measuring an AC waveform. Here it means that the power rating is not just a peak rating but continuous. "all channels driven" implies that the power measurement was made with all channels driven to their maximum level at the same time. This means that the power supply is powerful enough to allow all 4 output channels to make 50watts at the same time
