Romancing SaGa is an early-era SNES RPG released by Square in 1992 and designed by Akitoshi Kawazu, the creator of the SaGa series that originated on the Nintendo Gameboy. Taking place in the fantasy world of Mardius, the world is revealed to be one where ancient gods warred against each other in the past, with the ultimate god of evil, Saruin, sealed away by the power of ten gemstones. In modern times, each country is now dealing with its own troubles and wars. But the time of Saruin’s return draws near and threatens the existence of all human life. The player can choose to start the game by selecting one of eight main characters, who each have their own personal storyline that is explored in the game, as well as their own ending. The world is constantly in motion as the player progresses through battles and events, with new locations to find and old locations undergoing changes. Combat is turn-based with a slight emphasis on party formation. As each character battles, they can learn new weapon techniques and grow in different statistics. Romancing SaGa was also remade for the Playstation 2 in 2005 as “Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song”. Now the barriers are weakening and his foreboding shadow threatens to envelop the world of Mardias once again. Who will rid the world of Saruin's scourge? The player must decide. Occupying a prominent place in the story, a mysterious minstrel sometimes guides your party to adventure, shields it from adversity, and. Download the Romancing Saga (Japan) ROM for WonderSwan.

This is the group that David Mullen was working with before they fell apart due to miscommunication and whatnot. Was helping out, I don’t remember. Anyways, they’re doing their thing solo now, without the help of Shujin-Rik and friends. As for the patch, it’s actually kind of decent, if I do say so myself. For a years-old incomplete Romancing SaGa patch, anyways. The 16×16 font has been hacked in, so you can read the neat intro. And there’s even dialogue translated! I don’t know how much for sure, but I know you can play a little ways through on the Ranger scenario. ROM / ISO Information.

The problem starts when I start noticeable performance problems while using chrome as the tabs become unresponsive and sometimes just died. I ignore this as I thought it was only my internet connection failing and continue to browse. The final straw that made me visit here is when I was playing a game the whole computer freezes and gives me this notice that the 'application is not responding.' And getting errors such as WerFault.exe - Application error and an error code of 0xc0000185. After that occurrence MBAM have been detecting Backdoor.bot aggressively attacking as I open a new tab or open a new window on chrome. I can't browse anymore and even use the computer as the system slows down. I booted up on safe mode and head to you guys for a solution.

Whilst creating a backup you can select or exclude files according to their extension. Acronis True Image also allows you to backup the settings of certain applications. The detailed wizard interface in Acronis True Image makes the whole backup process pretty straightforward. If you already have a backup file of all your data, Acronis True Image can create a differential file and update your backup with all the latest changes instead of creating a new file from scratch. The Snap Restore function will allow you to use your system while it is being restored. Acronis True Image also introduces a “Secure Zone” feature where you can create a protected partition on your hard drive and save sensible information and backups. The “Secure Zone” can be resized at will to accommodate more files. Let’s move on to the recovery features in Acronis True Image. Creating bootable media ensures that you have an external solution to reboot your PC in case of a major breakdown. This process is as simple as working with the backup tools. You can choose to create a safe or a full version (twice as big as the safe version), but it is probably best to create both. Acronis offers many bootable media possibilities like FTP, CDR or DVD. You can clone multiple hard drives and add extra partitions to make more space on your PC. If your operating system fails, easily boot and start the recovery process simply by pressing F11. Naturally, Acronis True Image comes with a scheduling feature to automatically handle these tasks for you. It also offers password protection for your files and folders. Acronis True Image will log all the actions that you undertake, making it easy to check the last time you did a backup or what files you saved. Overall, we were impressed by the speed, simplicity and choice of actions present in Acronis True Image. The only downsides to it were the lengthy installation process and not being able to handle multiple tasks at the same time. Author's review.

Lights out, door locked at Merrillville spa a day after police raid MERRILLVILLE — An open sign remained dark and the front door was locked Friday at Seoul Spa Massage, one day after authorities raided the business and were seen escorting women out the back door. Local, state and federal law enforcement officials executed a federal search warrant just after 9 a.m. Thursday at Seoul Spa Massage in the 2400 block of U.S. Attorney's office confirmed a warrant was executed, but a spokesman said he could not confirm or deny an investigation. Local police said the case was sealed. A check of federal court records Friday showed no recently unsealed cases linked to the warrant. On Friday, the business appeared closed. Fraternal Order of Police stickers covered a large portion of the locked front door. During the raid Thursday, a woman wearing a jacket marked 'victim services' was seen entering and exiting the front of the business. About an hour after the raid began, two women exited the back of the business and got into an unmarked pickup truck driven by an FBI agent. Agents then drove away with the women. Ashley Nowak, a cashier at the Hookah Tobacco Plus store several doors down from the spa, said on Friday she and other employees in the strip mall had suspicions about the spa. The spa's clientele appeared to include mostly men, many of whom avoided parking directly in front of the spa, Nowak said. Women from the spa came into her store to purchase cigarettes, she said. 'They were really nice,' she said. 'They were really quiet. They kind of kept to themselves.' Some of the younger women — who may have been in their 20s — dressed provocatively, but the older women did not, she said. Attorney's office confirmed a second federal warrant was executed Thursday morning at a home in the 7400 block of Taylor Street in Schererville. However, a spokesman declined to confirm or deny whether that warrant was connected to the warrant executed at Seoul Spa. A Whiting man pleads not guilty to demolishing a historic railroad bridge HAMMOND — A Whiting man is pleading not guilty to demolishing a historic railroad bridge for scrap metal. Morrison, who operates T&K Metals, appeared Thursday before U.S. District Court Judge Andrew P. Rodovich on a federal charge of interstate transportation of stolen property. No trial date is currently scheduled. Attorney and the Environmental Crimes Division of the U.S. Department of Justice allege Morrison dismantled the century-old Monon Railroad bridge over the Grand Calumet River in Hammond and sold it to Illinois metal dealers. A code inspector for the City of Hammond, which owned the bridge as a historic remnant, issued a stop order on Morrison's work Jan. 29, 2015, and a state conservation officer cited Morrison for sending creosote-soaked railroad ties into the waterway as he dismantled the structure, but officials couldn't stop its complete destruction later that year. Morrison defended his actions in a 2015 interview with The Times, arguing the bridge was 'like a shipwreck,' and that 'if a ship sinks, that's abandoned and it's fair game.' ArcelorMittal profits double to $1.21 billion ArcelorMittal posted another profitable quarter this year, doubling earnings to $1.21 billion in the third quarter, up from $680 million in the third quarter of 2016. The Luxembourg-based steelmaker increased its EBITDA, or Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, by 1.5 percent to $1.92 billion in the third quarter that ran from July to September because of strong demand and favorable market conditions. Operating income was up 2.5 percent year-over-year. “Favorable market conditions have supported another solid quarterly performance, with EBITDA for the first nine months considerably improved year-on-year,' ArcelorMittal Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Lakshmi N. Mittal said in a statement. 'Operating conditions continue to improve, with key indicators including the ArcelorMittal weighted PMI implying a positive outlook for 2018.' Sales shot up 21 percent to $17.6 billion in the third quarter, up from $14.5 billion in the third quarter of 2016. 'While pleased with the progress that we are making, we operate in a competitive global environment which is characterized by overcapacity and high levels of imports,' Mittal said. 'The implementation of our strategic plan Action 2020 remains a clear priority and we are making good progress in this regard.” Shipments rose 6.8 percent year over year to 21.7 million tons in the third quarter. ArcelorMittal's shipments for the first nine months of the year are up 0.6 percent to 64.2 million tons. In North America, steel shipments rose 4.3 percent year-over-year in the third quarter, the company reported. The steelmaker, one of Northwest Indiana's largest employers, said demand remains positive and it expects to invest $2 billion in working capital this year, up from a previous estimate of $1.5 billion. 'I opened it up and that baby just looked me right in the eyes.' Abandoned baby came as a surprise to firefighters expecting a prank. MICHIGAN CITY — When Coolspring Township Volunteer Fire Chief Mick Pawlik was alerted Tuesday night of activity at the department's Safe Haven Baby Box, he assumed it was another case of someone opening the drawer out of curiosity or carrying out a prank. Then his pulse began to race when he peeked through holes in the receiving side of the box, which is mounted in the wall at the station just southeast of Michigan City. 'I can see this sweatshirt and I seen a little bitty arm,' he said. 'I opened it up and that baby just looked me right in the eyes.' Pawlik said the baby remained calm and quiet as he and firefighter Nick Fekete scrambled around in the excitement of the moment in search of gloves that were right before them, resulting in Fekete being temporarily locked out of the building in the confusion. 'I'm all about kids,' he said. 'That's why I'm as elated as I am right now.' Medics arrived to recover a baby who appeared to be no more than an hour old. 'The umbilical cord was still on,' Pawlik said. 'The baby was not cleaned up yet.' The baby was taken by ambulance to Franciscan St. Anthony Health in Michigan City and appeared to be healthy and in good condition, county police said. The baby is reportedly in the care of the Indiana Department of Child Services. Success of box is a personal joy for its creator The baby is a 7-pound girl, according to Monica Kelsey, who created the Safe Haven Baby Box, which is one of only two in the nation. The other is located in her hometown of Woodburn, Indiana, where her husband serves as mayor. 'My heart is full for this little girl that is going to go on with her life,' Kelsey said Wednesday morning. 'My heart hurts for this mom as well.' The news was special for Kelsey not only because it is the first time a baby was dropped off in one of the boxes, thus affirming her fight last year with the state to keep them in operation, but also because she had been abandoned herself at a hospital in Montpelier, Ohio, in 1973 just two hours after she was born. The LaPorte County 911 center received an alarm from the baby box at the unmanned fire station on County Road 400 North shortly before 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, and emergency responders arrived minutes later, according to county police. 'It worked flawlessly last night,' Kelsey said. The drawer is designed to silently contact 911 when it is opened, she said. Motion sensors contact 911 a second time when the baby is placed inside, and the person leaving the baby is given a third option of pushing a button to contact emergency officials. The drawer has a heater to keep the baby warm and can only be opened from inside the building once it is closed with the baby inside, Kelsey said. 'The children are picked up in less than five minutes,' she said. Kelsey, who works as a volunteer firefighter in Woodburn and a medic 20 miles away in Fort Wayne, said she came up with the idea for the box after seeing similar versions while giving pro-life talks in South Africa. Finding a local builder was not easy at first. 'They thought I was crazy,' she said. 'What do you mean a baby box?' ' Battle with state to save boxes Her struggles continued when, after the boxes were installed in Coolspring Township and Woodburn in April 2016, Kelsey said the Indiana Department of Child Services challenged the legality of the boxes. 'We refused to shut them down and fought them all of last year,' she said. A spokesman with the Indiana Department of Child Services did not return a telephone call Wednesday for comment. State law resolved the dispute July 1 by legalizing the two existing boxes and authorizing more to be installed at hospitals. While state law had already allowed babies to be legally surrendered to officials at hospitals, and fire and police stations, Kelsey argued that a case of a baby dying after being left outside an Indianapolis hospital shows the need for a more anonymous alternative. 'Why did this mother not just walk in and hand this child over?' 'It's very clear — she did not want her face to be seen.' The LaPorte County fire station was chosen as the second site for a baby box because seven babies have been abandoned within a 5-mile radius of Michigan City in the last 15 years, Kelsey said. She is pursuing the installation of boxes next year in Ohio, to be followed by Pennsylvania, Georgia and Michigan. Pawlik, who praised the decision to drop the baby off in the safe box, said there are no cameras at the site to identify who visits. 'That box is not there to judge people,' he said. Coolspring Assistant Fire Chief Warren Smith agreed. 'She stepped up to the plate and did the right thing,' he said. Hoosier Lottery Executive Director Sarah Taylor, left, awards lottery winnings. Provided An Indiana family has claimed last month's $25.5 million Hoosier Lotto jackpot that was won from a ticket purchased at the BP gas station at 1501 N. In Valparaiso. A representative for the family claimed the winnings in the name of Mariner Financial LLC, according to lottery officials. The family claimed the prize as a lump sum payment of $16,579,692 before taxes. 'The family will prioritize using the funds for the benefit of their families and other causes they find important,' said Rebecca Geyer, a representative for the family. 'The family loves Indiana, and plans to continue living here,' she said. Geyer said this is the first big prize the family has ever won. 'Before this came along, the most they had ever won was a 50/50 raffle,' she said. 'The family feels extremely blessed but also overwhelmed,' Geyer said. 'They have chosen to claim as a legal entity to protect the safety and well-being of their children as well as their own privacy.' The BP station will receive a $100,000 bonus from Hoosier Lottery for selling the winning jackpot ticket. A Video Tour In August 1944 an Italian prisoner of war was found hanged on the beach of a U.S. Army base on Puget Sound, near Seattle. Hours earlier his unit's barracks had been assaulted by black American enlisted men quartered nearby. The trial that followed was the Army's longest during World War II. The lead prosecutor was Leon Jaworski, who later led the Watergate investigation. A new book by Jack Hamann — TV correspondent and documentary producer — asserts that much of what was reported about the incident at the time was inaccurate, and the court-martial ended in a miscarriage of justice. He tells Sheilah Kast about his new book On American Soil, which uses recently declassified evidence to tell a fuller story of a bleak moment in U.S. Read the first chapter: Camp Florence May 1944 The town of Florence is just out of Tucson, past the Superstition Mountains and Picacho Peak, beyond the east riverbank of the Santa Cruz. The road to town drifts northwest across the flat bottom of an ancient inland sea, searing in summer and uncomfortably cold most winter nights. Green fields line both sides of the highway, thanks to a mix of soil, sun, and miles of manmade canals. Cotton farmers here grow some of the finest long fiber this side of Egypt.

Latin American countries are experiencing an increasing burden of tobacco-related diseases. Smoke free policies are cost-effective interventions to control both exposure of nonsmokers to the toxic chemicals in secondhand tobacco smoke and to reduce the prevalence of smoking and its consequent morbidity and mortality. The World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control has created momentum in Latin America to implement meaningful tobacco control policies. As of August 2007, Uruguay, two provinces and three cities in Argentina, and one state in Venezuela, had passed, regulated, and enforced 100% smokefree legislation. The tobacco industry, working through local subsidiaries, has been the strongest obstacle in achieving this goal and has prevented progress elsewhere in the region. During the 1990s, transnational tobacco companies Philip Morris International and British American Tobacco developed voluntary initiatives (“Courtesy of Choice” and “Environmental Tobacco Smoke Consultancy” programs) to prevent effective smokefree policies. Another important barrier in the region has often been a weak and fragmented local civil society. Opportunities in the region that should be taken into account are a high public support for smokefree environments and increasing capacity building available from international collaboration on tobacco control. Policymakers and tobacco control advocates should prioritize the implementation of smokefree policies in Latin America to protect nonsmokers, reduce smoking prevalence with its economic and disease burden in the region. Introduction Similar to the rest of the world, Latin America is making progress in adopting new tobacco control policies prompted by the World Health Organization (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC).[] The treaty entered into force in 2005, and as of August 2007, 12 countries in Latin America had become Parties to it. Even before the FCTC, Brazil was the first country in the region to develop strong tobacco control policies, beginning in 1987 when it developed its national tobacco control program, and during the 1990s tobacco control became part of the health agenda in all Brazilian states. By the beginning of the 21st century, Brazil had become a world leader in tobacco control, restricting tobacco product advertising to the point of sale, and placing strong pictorial-based health warning labels on cigarette packages.[] In 2006, Uruguay became the first 100% smokefree country in the region. Despite these examples of progress, as a general rule, Latin America is at the very beginning of the process of controlling the tobacco epidemic. In many countries tobacco advertising and promotion are still allowed, tobacco taxes and prices are low, health warning labels are weak, small and text-only, and 100% smokefree environments are scarce. Mar 26, 2015. Over 1,000 teenagers in 40 different regions around the U.S. Participated in an online survey that questioned them about their use of alcohol, tobacco, legal drugs and illegal drugs. Participants were asked if they suffer from anxiety, if they have a desire to be “popular,” how often they participate in exciting. In addition to protecting the health of nonsmokers from the toxic effects of tobacco smoke, smokefree workplaces reduce cigarette consumption among smokers by about 30%[] and reduce youth initiation[] by creating an environment that supports adult decisions to reduce or stop smoking. Despite the strong scientific evidence that secondhand tobacco smoke (SHS) causes cardiovascular disease, lung cancer, breast cancer, and other serious diseases [, ], in Latin America most existing legislation that nominally restricts smoking allows for smoking areas, effectively writing the tobacco industry's “Courtesy of Choice” program [, ] into law. Smoking areas do not effectively protect nonsmokers [] and also do not “denormalize” tobacco use in society. Smoking areas also have a much smaller effect on cigarette consumption than 100% smokefree policies. [] The tobacco industry's ties with Latin American governments are still very strong, and civil society infrastructure has often not been strong enough to pressure decision makers to pass and totally implement smoke free legislation. As evidenced by progress in Uruguay and in some other cities and provinces in other countries, this situation is beginning to change in Latin America. The fact that the tobacco industry uses the same strategies to block these public health policies in Latin America as in the United States (US) and elsewhere, allows public health advocates to anticipate industry actions and effectively counter them. Methodology We reviewed information in PATIOS database from the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), on smoke free environment legislation provided by national governments from most of the countries in the region and we contacted PAHO staff responsible for updating the database to obtain additional information. We contacted investigators, government officials, and activists identified as key referents from the region to obtain complete legislative texts. We also used the Global Smokefree Partnership website (), which has a world report about national smokefree regulations. We conducted electronic searches on Medline, LILACS, and COCHRANE in December 2006 (updated April 30 2007). No substantial additional information was obtained from these electronic sources about smokefree environment legislation, civil society actions or opinion polls in Latin American countries. Smoking and the Prevalence of Secondhand Smoking The prevalence of smoking ranges widely throughout the Latin American region. Among adults, the highest prevalence rates are observed in the Southern Cone e.g., Argentina [], Chile, and Uruguay, and Cuba, where they reach about 35%. [] Gender differences also vary by countries with a significantly higher revalence in men than women in most countries. [] Among youth (aged 13-15) the highest smoking prevalence rates are also observed in countries of the Southern Cone (32.4% in Chile; 27% in Argentina; and 25.6% in Uruguay), and the lowest rates are found in countries of the Latin Caribbean e.g., Dominican Republic at 6.6%. [] As of 2004, tobacco consumption among girls was increasing and girls smoked more than boys in the Southern Cone countries. [] Similarly to adult and youth smoking prevalence rates, the highest exposure to SHS at home and in public places among students 13 to 15 years old, was found in the Southern Cone (86.7% in public places, Buenos Aires 2000) and Cuba (68.9% at home, Havana 2001). [] In 2003, a multi-country study assessed airborne nicotine concentrations in public places in the capital cities of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay. Argentina and Uruguay had the highest levels in hospitals, secondary schools, city government buildings and airports. Nicotine concentrations in restaurants and bars were relatively high in all seven countries. [] Based on experience elsewhere [, ], it is likely that this situation has changed in Buenos Aires and Montevideo after the implementation of smoke free policies. Based on experience in the US, one can estimate that SHS kills about one nonsmoker for every 8 smokers killed by active smoking [], or about 19,000 people every year in Latin America. The importance of smoke free policies: health and economic impact The benefits of smokefree environments begin to accrue soon after they are implemented. Studies conducted in California [] and Scotland [] showed an improvement in the pulmonary function after ending smoking in bars. Others studies showed a rapid drop in hospital admissions for acute myocardial infarction in the US [-] and Italy, [] averaging about 27%. [] A review of the economic effects of becoming smoke free in workplaces in Australia, Europe and Canada found reduced costs of sick leave, fires (frequently caused by cigarettes), equipment maintenance and cleaning costs, and insurance. [] Contrary to propaganda spread by the tobacco industry, [,, ] smoke free environments not only protect workers but also represent an economic benefit for employers. In particular, in the hospitality industry, the international experience shows that smokefree restaurants and bars have no effect or a positive effect, [] including increased profits for restaurants [] and no change in profits for bars. [] The only studies claiming that smokefree bars and restaurants showed an economic loss were tobacco industry sponsored research. They were also of lower scientific quality than the studies showing no effect or a positive effect. Smoke free policies in the region in the mid-2000s Except for Uruguay, which since March 2006, implemented a 100% smokefree policy without exception, national legislation in Latin America regarding smoking in public places and workplaces is mostly limited to separate smoking and nonsmoking sections. In some countries e.g., Chile, Peru, Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico and Brazil, national laws establish that indoor smoking areas must have specific characteristics regarding size, location, and ventilation, according the ineffective accommodation strategy that the tobacco industry itself recommends. In other countries the indoor smoking areas are even less clearly defined, and people can smoke everywhere except in a few specific places, such as classrooms, public areas in governmental offices, or exhibition rooms in cinemas and theatres (). These limited restrictions do not generally bring total exposure to SHS down to “safe” levels [] and have little effect on cigarette consumption. Governmental voluntary self-regulation of smokefree workplaces Voluntary self-regulation of smoking in workplaces promoted by government, has been implemented in Brazil, Argentina and Costa Rica. In Argentina, for example, the Ministry of Health launched the Registro Nacional de Empresas e Instituciones Libres de Humo de Tabaco (National Certification Program on Smoke free Companies and Institutions) in September 2004. Since then, more than 700 workplaces have completed the web application form and more than 300 have completed the certification process. The certification is achieved after a series of pre-established steps and requirements, which imply that all the enclosed areas within a company or institution are 100% smoke free, including the vehicles and the events organized by the entity. Official inspectors monitor the institution before certification is obtained. This voluntary initiative, similar to what was happening in the US in the 1970s before the development of the extensive scientific case on the danger of SHS, is useful as a promotional and educational strategy for the community, but it does not guarantee broad protection for the general population. In addition, the tobacco industry promotes voluntary self-regulation because it has little impact on cigarette consumption. The only way to ensure meaningful protection of the population from the toxic chemicals in SHS is to pass, implement and enforce legislation. Barriers to achieving smoke free policies The one business that smoke free environment laws hurt is the tobacco business, based on the fact that smoke free workplaces make it easier for smokers to cut down or quit. [] Not surprisingly, the tobacco industry works worldwide, often through “third parties” designed to hide its involvement, to oppose smoke free policies. [-] As in many other places in the world, poorly organized, cautious and fragmented civil society is another barrier to effective smoke free policies in Latin America. The tobacco industry The tobacco industry has been using strategies to undermine meaningful smokefree policies in Latin America similar to the ones already used in the US and other places (). During the 1990s, the transnational tobacco companies that share the cigarette market in the region, British American Tobacco (BAT) and Philip Morris International (PMI), developed a regional program to prevent implementation of smoke free environments in Latin America. This program, called International Environmental Tobacco Smoke Consultancy Program, consisted of secretly hiring and training well-known local scientists to create “controversy” about the SHS issue. [-] These “independent experts” conducted research, made statements to scientific bodies and the press, and lobbied on behalf of the tobacco industry without publicly disclosing the fact that their efforts were being managed by a law firm based in Washington, DC. One of the most important results was the veto of a national law in 1992 in Argentina, which would have effectively restricted smoking in public places. Tobacco industry and/or pro-tobacco strategies to block meaningful smokefree policies in Latin America Since the mid-1990s, tobacco companies have implemented a regional voluntary initiative to block meaningful smoke free policies. The “Courtesy of Choice” program, known in Spanish as “Cortesia de Elegir” or “Convivencia en Armonia”, was officially launched worldwide in 1994 in alliance with the International Hotel and Restaurant Association to prevent governmental smoking restrictions inside hotels, bars, restaurants and other places within the hospitality industry. The program was also expanded from the hospitality industry to workplaces and airports in Latin America. The tobacco industry has also been active in promoting ineffective policies by promoting legislation that essentially codifies the voluntary practices that the industry promotes through its “Courtesy of Choice” programs. [] Costa Rica, for example, passed a national law in 1995 that established smoking and nonsmoking areas in hospitality venues (bars, restaurants, and hotels). [] Chile (Party of the FCTC since June 2005) approved a national law [] in April 2006 that keeps smoking areas in almost all public places after a strong lobby by British American Tobacco Chile to the Chilean Congress. Despite the international commitment that comes with ratification of the FCTC, Chile has not fully complied with the provisions of the treaty. Peru (Party of the FCTC since November 2004) is a similar case to Chile. The 2006 Peruvian tobacco control law allows smoking areas in bars and restaurants if “completely isolated and with independent ventilation systems.” [] These ineffective laws, which are often represented as being much stronger than they are, allow politicians to claim that they have addressed the problem of exposure to SHS without taking meaningful action that would harm the tobacco industry. Other places where the industry was successful in introducing “accommodation language” include Mexico City (2004), Buenos Aires City (2005), and Panama (2005). [] The enactment of weak legislation that allows or requires smoking designated areas, is dangerous not only because it does not solve the SHS problem, but also because it can be taken as a “model to follow”. When capital cities like Mexico City, Buenos Aires, or Caracas (2005) enact such ineffective laws other smaller cities are likely to emulate them. A strategy that the tobacco industry has used in the US and may begin to use in Latin American countries is preemption, [, ] which consists of passing a weak national law that prohibits the passage of stronger laws at the provincial and municipal levels. For example, during 2006, BAT and PMI affiliates strongly lobbied federal Representatives and Senators in Argentina to pass a national bill that would allow for smoking areas in almost all public places and workplaces after strong provincial laws and local ordinances had started to be passed and enforced. This strategy would have turned back these laws and ordinances. As of August 2007, this effort has not succeeded, and the strong local laws remain in force. The first time a law is approved with a strong political commitment for effective implementation in a given jurisdiction i.e., the first law in a country or province, the tobacco industry often works with a “third party,” such as a bar or restaurant, to sue in order to delay implementation or overturn the law. Extensively described in the US, [] Mexico City is an example in Latin America where a well-known chain of restaurants in 2004 filed a lawsuit against the local government to stop a municipal law that had created smoking and nonsmoking areas in public places and workplaces. As in the US, the restaurants lost. In October 2006, lawsuits were filed in Argentina against local laws in place in the Province of Santa Fe and the city of Buenos Aires (in effect since September and October 2006, respectively). As had become common in the US, bar and restaurant owners filed lawsuits claiming unconstitutionality of the laws based on discrimination of smokers, and economic loss, both standard tobacco industry arguments. Again, as in the US, [, ] at the same time, some bars, restaurants and bingo halls started a strong public relations campaign to create controversy, claiming that the law was difficult to enforce and would result in a big economic loss (on average 30%). As of August 2007, none of these legal challenges have been successful. The likelihood that the tobacco industry acting through “concerned citizens” will sue should not deter effective legislation; it should be expected as a normal part of the process. Public health advocates and government officials need to anticipate these lawsuits and be ready to defend the law. Finally, as in the US, [, ] the tobacco industry often seeks to amend smoke free laws already in effect in order to weaken them. In the Province of Santa Fe, Argentina, for example, a group of legislators from different political parties introduced a bill in the Provincial Legislature to modify the law reintroducing smoking areas in public places and workplaces. [] As of August 2007, no action has been taken on this law. Civil society As previously described in the US, the role of advocates is a key factor in the development and defense of smoke free policies and other tobacco control regulations. [, ] Civil society can push the legislative and regulatory process by highlighting scientific evidence, exposing the tobacco industry's activities and responding to non-scientific claims e.g. Negative economic impact. Advocates can educate policy makers on research findings, engage scientific experts to give public lectures, and promote relevant local research to answer the typical tobacco industry arguments designed to avoid effective legislation. More importantly, civil society can stop ineffective policies advocated by the tobacco companies. Since the tobacco industry uses the same general strategies and arguments everywhere, Latin American countries can learn from experiences in other countries where these activities have been going on for over 20 years. In most of Latin America, civil society is in the early stages of engaging tobacco control as a major public health problem. Generally it is not well trained and often lacks the will to implement strong political strategies to counteract the tobacco industry. An exception to this general rule is in Uruguay, where local civil society overcame fragmentation and in 2000 successfully organized itself under the National Alliance for Tobacco Control, whose leadership was critical in pushing national authorities to pass and enforce the 100% smoke free legislation. [] The success in Uruguay points to the importance of developing a strong civil society presence that is willing to mobilize public support to press government for strong public health action. Public Opinion Surveys about Smokefree Environments in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and Uruguay (2006-2007) In Mexico, a national survey finished in January 2007 including 7 main cities of the country, showed that 81% of nonsmokers prefer smoke free environments and more than 75% of smokers support smoke free environments in hospitals, public transportation, museums, cinemas and theatres. [] These polls show a strong substrate of public opinion supporting 100% smoke free environments across Latin America and they indicate a great opportunity to enact and enforce such policies successfully in Latin America. International momentum As mentioned earlier, the FCTC has raised momentum in Latin America as in other parts of the world. Parties are committed to implement the treaty, which in Article 8, calls for the implementation of smoke free indoor environments. [] As discussed above, despite this situation, full implementation of tobacco control policies has been a challenge both for governments and civil society, since the tobacco industry is actively working to co-opt the process and use it to pass ineffective legislation. Capacity building development and partnership The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), the WHO's regional office for the Americas, launched its Smoke Free Americas' Initiative [] in 2001 to help countries in the region achieve smoke free environments by focusing on capacity building. Activities included information dissemination, public education, training tools, policy-relevant research sponsorship, and seed grants to support smokefree campaigns. In addition, PAHO organized intensive workshops in some countries of the region to train local tobacco control advocates and decision makers who had a key role in the process of implementing smokefree environments in their countries. Between 2003 and 2006, workshops were held in Uruguay, Honduras, Argentina, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, Peru and El Salvador. Some institutions and agencies based in the United Sates and other countries, have provided training opportunities to individual researchers from Latin America (). Since 2003, the International Tobacco and Health Research and Capacity Building Program of the Fogarty International Center of US National Institutes of Health, through grants awarded to the Johns Hopkins University and the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF), has provided fellowships to health professionals from Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico. The Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at UCSF, for example, has provided critical information about tobacco industry strategies to block meaningful tobacco control legislation in the region through the tobacco industry documents archive library ( and ). Some capacity building resources from the United States, Canada and Switzerland for research, education and advocacy on tobacco control in Latin America Since 2004, the Canadian International Development Research Center has been supporting the ratification, implementation and enforcement of the FCTC in the region through small grants. The American Cancer Society and the International Union Against Cancer also provide international support. American for Nonsmokers' Rights, a nonprofit organization based in California, has played an important role in providing advice and resources on how to advocate for and implement a smokefree policy in a specific community. The InterAmerican Heart Foundation and the Framework Convention Alliance, international NGOs, have helped promote the FCTC in Latin America and have developed a capacity building strategy to train tobacco control advocates and to disseminate research in the region. Conclusions and recommendations Movement towards creation of 100% smoke free environments in the Latin American region was well under way by the end of 2006. The tobacco industry recognizes that, as people come to appreciate these successes, smokefree environments could spread rapidly, and so was working aggressively to stop or roll back these successes. The vulnerability of these successful laws underscores the need for a consolidation process through a civil society strategy to protect and strengthen them in the medium and long term. Civil society and Latin American governments need to strengthen their responses to counteract tobacco industry efforts and need to build a local and regional capacity for the future. Policymakers and national authorities, as well as public health professionals and tobacco control advocates, need to be aware and understand how the industry behaves so as to act accordingly. Given that the industry replicates its strategies all over the world, efforts to undermine smoke free policies can be anticipated and an adequate response can be prepared in advance. Both policymakers and advocates should promote 100% smoke free legislation at the municipal and provincial levels, which has been proven to be much more effective in terms of feasibility and sustainability than at the national level where the tobacco lobby is much stronger. Tobacco control advocates are more likely to succeed at the local level, and after a period of consolidation of a strong smoke free policy in a city or a province, other places are likely to copy this success through a positive domino effect. At the local level, it is easier to get civil society involved, educate the community, pass and implement a smoke free measure, and counteract tobacco industry strategies and misinformation. At the same time, the approval of weak and potentially preemptive national or provincial laws needs to be avoided. Finally, it is important to promote and fund local research related to smoke free environments through grants to evaluate implementation, health and environmental impacts, and the tobacco industry's evolving strategies to fight and undermine these policies, including through use of “third parties.” Implementation of 100% smoke free environments is one of the most cost-effective strategies to reduce the burden of disease and death attributable to tobacco use. [, ] Smoke free environments act like “an effective vaccine” protecting nonsmokers from the toxins of SHS, helping smokers reduce tobacco consumption, and reducing the social acceptability of tobacco use.

This book focuses on the new possibilities and approaches to social modeling currently being made possible by an unprecedented variety of datasets generated by our interactions with modern technologies. This area has witnessed a veritable explosion of activity over the last few years, yielding many interesting and useful results. Our aim is to provide an overview of the state of the art in this area of research, merging an extremely heterogeneous array of datasets and models. Social Phenomena: From Data Analysis to Models is divided into two parts. Part I deals with modeling social behavior under normal conditions: How we live, travel, collaborate and interact with each other in our daily lives. Part II deals with societal behavior under exceptional conditions: Protests, armed insurgencies, terrorist attacks, and reactions to infectious diseases. This book offers an overview of one of the most fertile emerging fields bringing together practitioners from scientific communities as diverse as social sciences, physics and computer science. We hope to not only provide an unifying framework to understand and characterize social phenomena, but also to help foster the dialogue between researchers working on similar problems from different fields and perspectives.

Join InboxDollars for free. InboxDollars pays you to watch videos, search, shop, take surveys, and more. They have paid out $57 Million so far! But there are a few downsides with that kind of rebate programs: • Rebates are offered only on certain items. • You have to send in your receipt or register your purchase within certain time frame. • And you have to wait weeks/months to get the money. I don’t know many people/take who took advantage of rebates. It’s just to much hassle. Wouldn’t it be better if you could get rebates on everything you buy? Wouldn’t it be great if you could just shop as normal and get rebates without having to mail things in? And that’s the idea behind cash back sites. Cashback websites make it so easy to online: • All you have to do is log into your cashback site of choice. • Click on the retailer you want to shop from and do your shopping. • Their tracking system will record everything and credit your account with the promised percentage of cashback. • Withdraw your cash back earnings. That’s all to it! With it being so easy and painless to use, to me it’s just crazy not to use a cash back site. It’s like rejecting free money with no strings attached. How do cashback sites work? Cash back sites are the middle man of the internet. They work out deals with online retailers where for every customer they send in, the retailer gives them a commission. And in order to entice people to go through them instead of going directly to the retailer’s site, they offer cash back using some of that commission money. The amount of cashback offered varies based on the item, its price, and the cashback site you use. That last factor, yes the “cashback site you use” factor, is why you should find and shop through the ones that give you the highest percentage cashback on items you buy. So what are the best cashback sites? To me, the top rebate sites have a few qualities: • They have a big list of merchants you can shop from. • They give you more cashback than other sites. • They make it easy to withdraw your earnings. • They give you cashback on everything you buy from a store and not just a few big items. So, I did some research and found the following sites to be the best ones based on the criteria outlined above. Note: While most of these sites are based in the USA, some do operate thus accept members from a few other countries such as the U.K., Canada, and Australia. Wanna get $5 free?

Rebate sites are a popular way to earn cash, points or credits by simply doing your online shopping. You’re likely going to make these purchases anyway, so why not get a little something back at the same time? All of these sites are free; most of them make money by earning a small commission of each purchase you make via their direct link. Then they pass a portion of these earnings on to you. But with so many sites out there, which one should you use? Should you go with one that offers cash-back, or one that gives points you can redeem for gift cards? What about other special deals and coupons? To help you determine which site is best for you, here’s a breakdown of how each one works, complete with information on the types of rewards, how often you get paid and more. Earn cash-back rewards from Ibotta in several different ways. • Take a picture of your receipt: Ibotta lets you select cash-back offers and submit an in-store receipt to redeem them.

Right now, you can earn up to 5% cash back on certain Amazon shopping categories. Just launch Amazon from Ibotta, make the purchase and the cash back will pop up in your account within 45 days. Bonus: If you don’t have Amazon Prime yet, sign up through Ibotta for a $20 Amazon gift card. Once your balance reaches $20 or more, you can transfer it to a PayPal or Venmo account. Or if you’d rather convert the cash into gift cards, you can choose from Best Buy, Amazon or Starbucks. You can earn Ibotta cash rewards even faster by connecting your Facebook account and asking your friends and family to do the same. If they join through your link, they’ll automatically be added to your “team.” The bigger your team, the more rewards you’ll earn each month, including bonuses for completing certain tasks together. Even better: You’ll get just for signing up and completing your first cash-back offer. Tina Russell/The Penny Hoarder Ebates offers up to 20% cash back at more than 1,800 online stores, though the average earnings are usually closer to 5%.

Your cash-back earnings will show up in your account within 48 hours. Ebates sends you a payment each quarter based on your account earnings of at least $5 or more. You have three options for redeeming your earnings: a check in the mail, a PayPal deposit or a gift to a charity or family member. You can earn a $5 bonus right off the bat by or by referring a friend or family member. Bigger bonus: Spend $25 at Walmart, and it’ll send you a free $10 gift card! One of our favorite cash-back sites, Swagbucks pays you in points called “SBs” when you make a purchase from your favorite store using its links. Generally speaking, you’ll earn 1 SB for every dollar you spend at participating stores. Other stores offer a flat number of SBs for any purchase. For example, right now you can earn up to 8% at Amazon, 2% back at Walmart and 7% at Macy’s. The best way to utilize Swagbucks is to. That way you’ll get an alert on your browser reminding you to get cash-back every time you’re on a retailer’s site. You’ll see the SBs in your account within two to seven business days, and you can redeem them toward gift cards or coupons. The closest thing to redeeming for cash is to choose PayPal gift cards. In that case, one SB is equal to one cent, so 100 SBs works out to $1. You can choose to redeem your rewards at any time, as soon as you have enough SBs to earn the prize you want.

The number of points you earn per dollar spent depends on the retailer. For example, you’ll earn eight points per dollar at Target, 12 points per dollar at Starbucks or Trader Joe’s, or 10 points per dollar at Lyft. These points can then be to hotspots (think: Starbucks, Old Navy, Dunkin’ Donuts, Amazon). When you hit 10,000 points, you’ll be able to snag a $10 Amazon gift card. Shopkick is one of the only rewards apps that doesn’t require you to spend money to earn money. With Shopkick, you earn “kicks,” which can then be exchanged for gift cards. You have several options for earning kicks, including: • Walking into a store. • Scanning items’ barcodes. • Taking photos of your receipt. • Linking your credit or debit card. • Shopping online. • Watching ads. When you earn 6,250 kicks, for example, you can redeem them for a $25 Amazon gift card. Is pretty good about walking you through the kicking process, but if you want to learn more — and see how one guy has made $400 with the app — head on over to our Shopkick guide.

It’s a browser extension that’ll alert you when you’re perusing a participating website. One of the nicest parts of the app is that there are no fees, no percentages of sales taken and, if you’re fundraising, you don’t have to go old school and walk door to door.
