Sanor is one of the crewmen on the Gray Gull. He is extremely large with arms like Perrin's (TDR, Ch. 32).
When Mat and Thom land on the Gray Gull, Captain Mallia orders Sanor and Vasa to throw them off again before he changes his mind upon seeing the Amyrlin Seat's paper. One of them later comes to take Mallia gold chest out of his cabin, which Mat and Thom are staying in (TDR, Ch. 32).
When they dock at Aringill, Sanor stands guard to make sure that none of the throng tries to board the ship (TDR, Ch. 40).

Kaldonis Harvest-Moon †
Appearance †
You see Chancellor Kaldonis Harvest-Moon the Chronicler of Elanthia.
Tattoos †
In full detail!
He has a rendition of an eye tattoo with a large pupil on his forehead, a series of numbers boldly inked on the back of his neck, a complex black maze tattoo highlighted with argent archaic runes on his arm, an intricate aurulent and argent runic compass inked on his wrist, a glossy black rose tattoo with large thorns on his finger, a fiery iridescent pinwheel tattoo inside a spiral of radiant white runes on his shoulder, an inked swirling blue sky dotted with stars on his arm, a tattooed Faendryl pentagram on his wrist, a tattooed spiral of magical items on his finger, some inked amorphous chartreuse smudges on his thigh, an azure and violet jungle tattoo on his leg, a blurry landscape tattoo on his leg, dozens of copper-inked ants in a cross section of grey ash on his ankle, and some inked lavender roots encased with puce vines on his foot.
History †
Kaldonis hails from the future. His clan, the Harvest-Moon, is a small farming community of Paradis Truefolk near the outskirts of Icemule Trace. When Kaldonis is very young, they will eventually be destroyed in a large fire of unknown origin which burns down the entire village, with Kaldonis narrowly escaping.
Favorite Quotations †
Because classic things like this need to be saved somewhere.
I do have a monkey for finding warcamps for me, but still I like bounties, so I'm off to other towns now (also why are lesser minotaur about as easy as guardsmen despite a 20 level disparity?)
GM Scribes:
When Oscuro and I got together to build the newest hunting areas, you think we immediately decided, "CAKE WALK TIME. YEEHAW." No, sir, no sir'ree! This is a town with a fascination with death. It's a town that's literally died and come back at least once, maybe twice, as did its reiver guard! It's a town with a willow that kills, and where Krolvin drop bags of children into the river. It's a town where nearly three years of storyline development was designed entirely to lead up to the main characters dying. It's a town that cherishes the death of young lovers (AND THEIR GHOSTS). It's a town where one of the local deities shows kindness by making a dude garden her garden for life, and the other deity is all about getting revenge. It's a town with way more skeletons above ground than below it (only a few in closets), and it's a town with a history of incredibly tragic, strange, and amusing deaths.
You think we're going to design the care bear equivalent of walking through clouds of marshmallows and hanging out with lumpy space princesses?! Hunting grounds in the Rest are not designed to allow Resters to keep going up in levels or gain experience, they are designed to kill, kill and kill. If you die, you can't leave, and like ghosts, remain to repeat the process, over and over, dying and dying, at the hands of creatures and monsters designed by those who love you most.

BC Premier Christy Clark not working hard enough for LNG fracking, energy expert says
Last week, some of the biggest players in the North American oil and gas markets gathered at the Four Seasons Hotel in Vancouver for the Canadian Oil and Gas Export Summit. While protesters outside the hotel yelled "No tankers, no pipelines, no tar sands," industry insiders presented their visions for the future development of the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline project, the Keystone XL pipeline, and Alberta tarsands oil.
This is the final part of a special three-part series on the summit.
Premier Christy Clark has been busy promoting Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) recently: she just came back from touring Asia to promote BC's LNG projects, and even suggested that the province's stringent climate targets can be compromised to pave the way for the industry.
Environmentalists decry the high cost of LNG (which involves hydraulic fracturing, also known as "fracking") in terms of polluted water, massive power requirements and skyrocketing carbon emissions. Yet one energy expert believes Clark is not working nearly hard enough for their interests.
OilWeek.com called the Calgary-based Ziff Energy Group "one of the foremost research firms tracking the natural gas sector."
"They're still slow and archaic. They complain about budgets. They're not with the program yet. They have to spend the money and get staff to manage it properly."
Gwozd was at the summit to discuss the lucrative potential for British Columbia to become Canada's largest gas producer. He noted that Northeastern BC had the highest potential for growth, and that gas production in the province could "double, triple, quadruple" in the near future.
He gave a data-rich presentation full of colorful language, referring to news publications as "rags" on several occasions. He forecasted that LNG in BC is poised for major growth in the upcoming years, due to its easy access to premium markets in Asia.
Kitimat "smack on the money" for LNG
"Folks in Kitimat have the right location. They're smack on the money. They're in areas where they're going to grow," he said, noting the importance of BC's location on the Pacific Coast. "They have an unfair economic advantage over their counterparts in Gulf of Mexico."
In his view, Northeast BC will experience an economic boom, the place where his fellow Albertans move for jobs.
"Northeast BC will grow. It's the place where Albertans will migrate to, and the Alberta government will migrate to the BC ministry. Alberta will shrink for gas potential, and BC is going to grow," he said.
Clark plans to have three LNG plants up and running by 2020, but Gwozd thinks the BC government is moving too slowly on this. The project could face significant political opposition because of its environmental consequences. A single LNG terminal and pipeline could put an estimated 3.4 million tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere per year. Currently, the province is bound by law to cut greenhouse gases by 33 per cent below 2007 levels – also by the year 2020.

Anna Cruise, also known as Beth Balmanno, is the author of Set in Stone, Nine Lives, If I Fall, Maverick, and It Was You. She writes middle grade, young adult, and new adult books. Find out more about Anna Cruise on her website.
Cake or Pie? I seriously have to choose???? That's like asking which of my kids is my favorite.
How I Met Your Mother or The Big Bang Theory? Arrested Development. 🙂
Paris or Rome? ROME!! I'm a huge history buff and would love to see the Coliseum (and all of the Greek-inspired architecture).
The ocean or the mountains? I'm a California girl so ocean, hands down.
Disneyland or Disneyworld? I know Disneyland is like Disneyworld's poor, backwards cousin but I don't care – that's where I grew up going and it will always have a special place in my heart.
Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? Hmm. I hate talking about myself! I'm an unschooling mom, a writer who probably should have been a cultural anthropologist, and I have a soft spot for turtles and owls. Chocolate is my duct tape.
You're written both middle grade and young adult books. As my readers know, I LOVE MG books. How difficult is it to switch your writing to a different genre? It wasn't as hard as I thought it might be. Once a character is in my head, I pretty much go on auto-pilot and let them take over.
What made you want to write middle grade books? Honestly? My eleven year-old son pestered me to write one. I had an idea about a kid and a cat – and no idea where it would end up. I kept writing and the story just blossomed.
You have also written some new adult books under the name Anna Cruise. Can you tell us a bit about those? I wanted to write the kind of books I like to read – a solid story with strong characters, dialogue-heavy, a little sexy. OK, a lot sexy… My Anna Cruise books have been incredibly fun to write and I have fallen a little bit in love with all of my male characters. It helps that they're all incarnations of the man I'm ridiculously in love /lust with in real life. 🙂
Out of all of your books, which one was the most fun to write? Nine Lives. I probably sell the least of that title but I don't care. So many elements in the story ring true for me. Nick is a great guy and all of the kids in that book are inspired by kids I know in real life. I'm a single mom so writing about Nick's mom was a little like peeling back the layers of my own story. I live in a smallish town in Minnesota and Nine Lives takes place in a similar town. It was super easy to have fun with the story and the characters.
As an Indie Author, what have been the struggles in your writing career? The writing part is relatively easy. But promotion and marketing? Ugh. I'm not the kind of person who feels comfortable screaming, "Buy my book!!!" So finding readers has been a slow but steady adventure.
What advice can you give to aspiring authors? Don't rush to publish! And seek out people who will honestly critique your work. The best beta reader is the one who tells you your book sucks…and helps you figure out a way to fix it.
What's next for you? Anything you're currently working on? I'm working on a couple of different Anna Cruise books – a follow-up to Abby & West's story in It Was You and a new, stand-alone novel.
What has been the best book you've read recently? I stepped outside the NA/YA genre and just finished Lee Child's A Wanted Man. Brilliant, as usual.
What is currently in your TBR pile? Girl With Guitar by Caisey Quinn is loaded and ready on my Kindle. Tragic by J.A. Huss is next. And Reality Ends Here by Alison Gaylin is a new release that looks incredible.

The Forest School Awards are an annual competition to encourage local schools, nurseries and youth organisations to visit and take on an ownership of their local Council Park.
Winners will identify a local Council Park that they are able to walk to. They will identify an area within the local Council Park that they will develop as their own Forest School site. Here they will undertake exciting and innovative activities to help them understand the importance of our natural environment and local heritage. Activities might include making a map of the Council Park using only natural resources, den building, using trees to help children understand maths and so on.
The teachers and youth leaders involved undertake a Forest School Leader qualification. This gives them the confidence to continue visiting the Council Park year after year and developing more exciting outdoor activities to replace classroom led lessons.
The Forest School Awards are funded by the participating Councils and managed by the Northern Ireland Forest School Association.

Easter is a just a hop, skip and a jump away, which means Easter entertaining is, too. If you're hosting an Easter brunch this year and feel a bit overwhelmed, have no fear! These easy tips will help you plan the perfect Easter brunch. Start Early
There are many tasks you can complete the day before your bunch to help your morning run smoothly, like setting the table, prepping dishes, picking out serve ware or putting up any decorations. This will help avoid the added stress of rushing to finish a task before your guests arrive. Be Picky
Try to pick recipes that don't require your full attention. For example, AllRecipes recommends that instead of making crepes and omelets, which need constant watch and care, opt for casserole or a strata. Or, pick dishes that can be prepared in advance so you aren't spending most of your time in the kitchen. Muffins and scones can be frozen in advance, and breakfast casseroles and quiches can be prepped the night before and baked in the morning. This way you have more time to host and are free to chat with your guests while your food finishes cooking. Add a Self-Serve Station
To further take the stress off of yourself, plan a few dishes that can be self-serve. Have a bagel and toast station where your guests can toast their own items and pick from different spreads, or add a fruit station with a variety of fresh fruit. You can also create a coffee bar with a variety of your favorite Community® coffee blends. Don't Forget the Drinks!
Though many of us focus on the food when entertaining, the drinks are just as important. Decide what beverages you want to serve beforehand—whether it be lemonade, tea, fresh juices, water, or coffee—and how you're going to serve them. An easy way to elevate your meal? Provide coffee pairings for some of your dishes.

Police Devotion 4-8-2017
"Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little" (Isaiah 28:9-10)
The growth of a baby from conception to adulthood (Life DOES begin at conception, by the way. Psalm 139:14 says, "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:" [boldface added]) is a slow process, but over time, the growth is obvious. What do visiting relatives tell kids all the time? "You sure have grown since I last saw you!"
Christian growth is a process, too. When someone receives Jesus as Saviour and is born again, that's an event, just like a baby's physical birth is an event. Growth, however, is a process. Someone may receive Jesus as Saviour as an adult and not know much about the Bible. He may be from a church where the Bible isn't considered important and where people aren't told how to be saved, so he may have wrong ideas about God. The idea of the Bible being God's infallible Word may be new to him. He may also have sinful behaviors as part of his life. He may be thinking, "Ok, I'm saved. Now what?"
To illustrate the point, God delivered Israel from the bondage of Pharaoh. Yet when Moses went up to Mount Sinai to receive God's word, the people became impatient. They were exposed to the ways of Egypt and wanted something to worship. Aaron made a golden calf. They credited the calf with delivering them from Egypt—"These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt." (Exodus 32:4)—and started a religious service that was more of an orgy: music, dancing, and nakedness. Where did they learn to act like that? Obviously, in Egypt. It was one thing to get them out of Egypt, but another to get the ways of Egypt out of them.
The slavery in Egypt is a picture of life without Christ. As Israel was enslaved by the Pharaoh, people without Christ are enslaved as children of the devil until Jesus saves them, just as God saved Israel from Pharaoh. When someone first accepts Jesus as Saviour, though, he may have sinful behaviors—"Egyptian ways"—in his life that need to be cleaned out. Yes, he's saved, but he needs to grow.
When a new believer goes to a church where the Bible is preached and taught, and when he reads the Bible on his own, he gets things from God's Word to help him grow. He may challenge what the preacher says until he sees the truth in God's Word. Gradually, "precept upon precept;" "line upon line," and "here a little, and there a little," God deals with the believer about making changes in his life. He learns to obey God's leading in His Word, and he grows as a Christian: "But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day." (Proverbs 4:18)
The New Testament, as well as Psalms and Proverbs, are filled with practical info to help Christians grow. The more you read and hear God's Word in a good church and obey it, and the more you make it part of your daily life, the more you grow. It's not a fast process, but it's a joyful process through your life as God deals with your heart and you obey: "Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word" (Psalm 1119:65).

Why Walmart is looking more like a bank
Walmart is cultivating a new revenue stream by expanding its money transfer services to the rest of the world.
The company is teaming up with Moneygram to launch Walmart2World, allowing the retailer to tap into the $138 billion remittance market. The new service gives Walmart a chance to cash in on the market for cross-border payments, fueled by an increasingly digital economy.
Four years ago, Walmart stepped into the money transfer business with its domestic service Wallmart2Walmart, which according to the company has saved customers nearly $700 million.
"We think sending money should cost the same regardless of where you send it; that's why we've designed a brand new global wire service to send money to 200 countries with a consistently low fee," said Kirsty Ward, vice president, Walmart Services. "There are millions of people sending money around the world to help loved ones with everyday needs or in times of emergency. Walmart2World, Powered by Moneygram helps customers get money to family and friends across the world in minutes, and the new low fees mean more of their hard-earned cash goes where it's needed most."
Slated to launch in all of the chain's 4,700 U.S. stores this month, Walmart2World differs from other global wire services in three key respects:
- Flat Pricing: Regardless of the locations of the sender or the receiver, the fees for Walmart2World are the same: $4 to send up to $50, $8 to send $51 to $1,000, and $16 to send $1,001 to $2,500. Other international transfer services charge to transfer money based on where the sender and/or receiver are.
- More Competitive Exchange Rates: Walmart is committed to ensuring that customers using Walmart2World receive a more competitive foreign exchange rate. The service's low fees, combined with these exchange rates, offer greater value for international money transfers.
- Delivery in Minutes Worldwide: While other international wire services can take as long as three days, Walmart2World will deliver funds in 10 minutes or under, whether the receiver chooses to collect the money at a MoneyGram agent location or through an international bank or mobile wallet account.
As well as saving money, customers who use Walmart2World can save time by using Mobile Express Money Services in the Walmart App. After a quick one-time setup, customers can start a money transfer via the app, and then, at the store, fast-track through the Mobile Express Lane to complete the transaction. Receipts and transaction details are saved electronically, helping to make subsequent transfers even faster and easier.
"Walmart2World is a powerful platform that allows customers to send money from Walmart in the U.S. to any MoneyGram agent location in 200 countries," said Alex Holmes, CEO of Dallas-based MoneyGram. "The new product demonstrates our shared commitment to ensuring our customers receive the financial services they depend on at an outstanding value."
The two companies have additionally renewed for two more years their long-term agreement to offer all MoneyGram products and services at Walmart.
"For nearly two decades, MoneyGram and Walmart have successfully worked together to offer convenient and affordable financial services to our customers," noted Holmes "The launch of [Walmart2World], along with the many other innovative initiatives MoneyGram and Walmart have built together, reflects our shared commitment to offer our customers high-quality financial services they can depend on at a great value."
Customers can also still use MoneyGram at Walmart to transfer money to recipients in the United States and to send payments to thousands of companies with MoneyGram's Bill Pay Service.
In other Walmart news, CNBC and other outlets have reported that the Bentonville, Ark.-based mega-retailer is considering acquisitions of both health care provider Humana and online pharmacy PillPack.
Walmart operates 11,700 stores under 65 banners in 28 countries, along with ecommerce websites, employing about 2.3 million associates globally.

Sildenafil (Viagra) - Uses, Dosage, Side Effects and Interactions
Sildenafil citrate, sold as Viagra, Revatio and under various other trade names, is a drug used to treat erectile dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). It was developed and is being marketed by the pharmaceutical company Pfizer.
It acts by inhibiting cGMP specific phosphodiesterase type 5, an enzyme that regulates blood flow in the penis. Since becoming available in 1998, sildenafil has been the prime treatment for erectile dysfunction; its primary competitors on the market are tadalafil (Cialis) and vardenafil (Levitra).
Mechanism Of Action
The mechanism of action of Sildenafil citrate involves the protection of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) from degradation by cGMP specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) in the corpus cavernosum. Nitric oxide (NO) in the corpus cavernosum of the penis binds to the receptors of an enzyme called guanylate cyclase which results in increased levels of cGMP, leading to smooth muscle relaxation (vasodilation) of the intimal cushions of the helicine arteries. This smooth muscle relaxation leads to vasodilation and increased inflow of blood into the spongy tissue of the penis causing an erection.
Sildenafil is a potent and selective inhibitor of cGMP specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which is responsible for degradation of cGMP in the corpus cavernosum. The molecular structure of sildenafil is similar to that of cGMP and acts as a competitive binding agent of PDE5 in the corpus cavernosum, resulting in more cGMP and better erections.
Without sexual stimulation, and therefore lack of activation of the NO/cGMP system, sildenafil should not cause an erection. Other drugs that operate by the same mechanism include tadalafil (Cialis) and vardenafil (Levitra).
Uses Of Sildenafil In Treatment Of Sexual Dysfunction
The primary indication of sildenafil is treatment of erectile dysfunction (inability to sustain a satisfactory erection to complete intercourse). Its use is now standard treatment for erectile dysfunction in all settings, including diabetes.
People on antidepressants may experience sexual dysfunction, either as a result of their illness or as a result of their treatment. A 2003 study showed that sildenafil improved sexual function in men in this situation. Later the same researchers found that sildenafil was able to improve sexual function in female patients on antidepressants as well.
Uses Of Sildenafil In Treatment Of Pulmonary Hypertension
Sildenafil citrate is also effective in the rare disease pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). It relaxes the arterial wall, leading to decreased pulmonary arterial resistance and pressure. This, in turn, reduces the workload of the right ventricle of the heart and improves symptoms of right-sided heart failure. Because PDE-5 is primarily distributed within the arterial wall smooth muscle of the lungs and penis, sildenafil acts selectively in both these areas without inducing vasodilation in other areas of the body.
The preparation is named Revatio, to avoid confusion with Viagra, and the 20 milligram tablets are white and round. Sildenafil joins bosentan and prostacyclin-based therapies for this condition.
Uses Of Sildenafil In Treatment Of Altitude Sickness
Sildenafil has been shown to be useful for the prevention and treatment of High-altitude pulmonary edema associated with altitude sickness such as that suffered by mountain climbers. Sildenafil is already becoming an accepted treatment for this condition, in particular in situations where the standard treatment of rapid descent has been delayed for some reason.
Availability And Packaging
Sildenafil is available in the form of Generic Viagra Pills in 50mg and 100mg tablets. It is also available in the form of Viagra Oral Jelly in 100mg sachets.
Specially formulated Sildenafil is available for women in the form of Lovegra Tablets in 100mg packaging as well as Generic Female Viagra Pills
Side Effects Of Sildenafil
The most common adverse effects of sildenafil use included headache, flushing, dyspepsia, nasal congestion and impaired vision, including photophobia and blurred vision. Some sildenafil users have complained of seeing everything tinted blue (cyanopsia). Some complained of blurriness and loss of peripheral vision.
In July 2005, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration found that sildenafil could lead to vision impairment in rare cases and a number of studies have linked sildenafil use with nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.
Rare but serious adverse effects found through postmarketing surveillance include priapism, severe hypotension, myocardial infarction (heart attack), ventricular arrhythmias, stroke, increased intraocular pressure, and sudden hearing loss. As a result of these postmarketing reports, in October 2007, the FDA announced that the labeling for all PDE5 inhibitors, including sildenafil, required a more prominent warning of the potential risk of sudden hearing loss.
Interactions With Other Drugs
Care should be exercised by patients that are also taking protease inhibitors for the treatment of HIV. Protease inhibitors inhibit the metabolism of sildenafil, effectively multiplying the plasma levels of sildenafil, increasing the incidence and severity of side-effects. It is recommended that patients using protease inhibitors limit their use of sildenafil to no more than one 25 mg dose every 48 hours.
Concomitant use of sildenafil and an alpha blocker may lead to low blood pressure, but this effect does not occur if they are taken at least four hours apart.

The most influential personalities in fashion used to be seen in the spread of glossy magazines. Nowadays, they are all over blogs and social media platforms competing for the attention of those who are under the age of 35. This phenomenon has made the job of trendsetting more complicated.
The Business of Fashion (BOF), for one, started out as a passion project by Imran Amed which aimed to give readers information and analytical opinions on the fashion business. It has now become a resource for fashion creatives from over 200 countries. Then there's Highsnobiety, a blog that covers streetwear, fashion, culture, and arts.
Highsnobiety mostly features special edition streetwear shoes and clothes, a style that has become widely popular since 2018.
The real story lies in the global following that streetwear style had gained since 2018. Lots of people are actually willing to spend much for these limited-edition clothing and accessories.
The popularity of streetwear gave rise to designer Virgil Abloh's fame. He has become the epitome of street style. He became known for his collaboration with Kanye West on his Yeezy Label, then proceeded to create his very own Off-white label. Off-white broke the fashion internet with every limited release of clothing.
ABloh is now creative director of Louis Vuitton. The integration is clear – Abloh's clashing colors, blaring patterns, and flamboyant slogans combined with the luxury brand's logo that has already become a symbol of wealth.
The notion of wealth, however, has come to be tacky, and those who show it off have become the trendsetters. With that being said, it is hard not to mention the Kardashian-Jenner clan who have been devoting their lives to influencing people with their exquisite lack of taste.
Streetwear roots from the hip-hop and punk of the 1970s and 1980s. It largely promotes individuality. Highsnobiety is categorically intended for men and the concept of individuality is evident in their choice of poster boys such as John Mayer, Pharrell Williams, and Takashi Murakami. All of Highsnobiety's poster boys possess crowd-pleasing characters and global followings in different media platforms.
Streetwear highly reflects the opinions and idealism of its target market. And though some may argue that streetwear brands and influencers are only being skeptical and exploiting the narcissistic tendencies of their followers, it must not be overlooked that they are a reflecting emerging community that is not to be easily deterred.

Posted: 4/7/2001 2:56:34 PM EDT
Found this from when I was in the Army...thought yall might like it:
One day, the battalion commander issued the following order to his executive officer:
"Tomorrow evening at approximately 2000 hours, Halley's Comet will be visible in this area, an event which occurs only once every 75 years. Have the men fall out in the batallion area in fatigues, and I will explain this rare phenomenon to them. In case of rain, we will not be able to see anything, so assemble the men in the theatre and I will show them films of it."
The XO related the order to the adjuctant:
"By order of the colonel, tomorrow at 2000 hours, Halley's Comet will appear above the battalion area. If it rains, fall the men out in fatigues, then march them to the theatre where this rare phenomenon will take place, something which occurs only once every 75 years."
The adjuctant related the order to the company commander:
"By order of the Colonel, in fatigues at 2000 hours tomorrow evening, the phenomenal Halley's Comet will appear in the theatre. In case of rain in the battalion area, the colonel will give another order, something which occurs every 75 years."
The CO passed on the directive to the First Sergeant:
"Tomorrow at 2000 hours, the colonel will appear in the theatre with Halley's Comet, something which happens every 75 years. If it rains, the colonel will order the comet into the battalion area."
Top's announcement in the formation the next morning was:
"Whgen it rains tomorrow at 2000 hours, the phenomenal 75-year-old Colonel Halley will drive his Comet through the battalion area in fatigues."
The first part of your life, you worry about what people think about you;
The middle part of your life, you don't care what people think about you;
The last part of your life, you realize they weren't even thinking about you at all.

Eugene Gavrilov: - A few words about your recent works. What work?
Andrey Misin: - Some time ago I decided not to focus on work related to the great Russian material that previously produced, himself sang and other. I have a great desire to go wide - write different music.
Strangely enough, the first time was to somehow remain on stage. Not just walk away in pure kompozitorstvo. For this reason, there was an interesting experiment, when was still alive Grigory Gorin, who wrote the play "A plague on both your houses". The play was staged in theatre Mayakovsky, I wrote all the music and six vocal tracks. And for three years, that would be done once a week in the theatre Mayakovsky sang this performance... But it's a completely different music, written in the aesthetics of the 16th century, founded on an ancient music. Later wrote another play "The Dwarf", too for theatre Mayakovsky, but then I passed the vocal actors and said: "All guys! No longer want to play! ".
I'm a person that in two or three years I still annoys. For this reason, probably I left writing any big works as one of the components themselves.
Despite these theatre works, I continued to write music in parallel. Was a series of successful work in film with Director Miroshnichenko, who teaches in Moscow Institute of cinematography. He is the most important we have kinodokumentalist. Has done some good documentary films including the film with my music "The Moscow Angel", which New York took first prize at the competition film.
All went together. At the same time, I wrote a circus performance, which was absolutely not like me. This was the purest water electronic music of contemporary urban life in Moscow with different dances. Year three worked this performance, he worked for. In parallel continue completely different work. I am bored every day doing what did yesterday.
E.G. - With whom you work with?
Andrey Misin: - Love working with singers, who did not become fixated on one aesthetics. Strangely enough, this has Christine. It's fairly moderate vocal talent is so good with songs deal, they did not become boring. Same with Grigory Leps work. Just yesterday I recorded a new cool song.
Everything that I held with the vocal abilities of the people with whom I have to work. Never give song that people will not be able to sing. Conversely, I give the most hardest song man who knows how to sing. And my songs are born with an. Literally the day before yesterday Christina received two brand new, very nice songs.
Perhaps there will be our tandem with singer Stas Mikhailov. This we work with Karen Kavaleryan. We very much with it wrote songs.
E.G. - Why do you not hear?
Andrey Misin: - People ask where I was gone? I'm not gone. Just work. Once distracted by some visiting sites. And then I will tell you a little secret: I suddenly discovered that I want to release next year album where just will play the accordion. In me lives this passion. In childhood very much played on this instrument.
There are many melodies, which for one reason or another, either steel or steel songs, but beautiful. I suddenly wanted to borrow and very minimal composition: bass, acoustic guitar, drum and accordion, and just play them.
This desire in me should disappear, but it disappears after recording material. Once you let stuff from himself, he starts to live their lives. Here's the disc released - and let go. Let lives. Not going to go on tour with accordion. I have a desire. Good life, if there is match with their wishes and you live easily.
But the only place where can't live easy, it's in Karelia. Love these places. This is probably somewhere in my genetics. accumulated many interesting material. But I want to implement it in silence the songwriting someone or accordion and all that.
Our life sometimes consists of a very strange things. For example, before gladly such material produced, but, strangely, poet, whom I loved to work for a while his Oriental theories, then agricultural interests within the country. And suddenly he call me, his name is Sergey Patrushev, I with him much time wrote music, everything he again ready to write. And I am without it as without hands. This is the same as, getting used to a Studio, it is very difficult to find another, in which you can do.
Remember when released the first album on vinyl was called "Alien" (1989) and then on the CD "I am" (1991). Everything was recorded in the Studio of the Moscow Palace of youth (MDM). But sound engineer went to Norway. It was Igor Zamaraev, soundman Norwegian drama theatre in Oslo. There he stayed with his talents. But we stayed as without hands.
There he already this profession, loaded with theatrical work, ballets, and other things. And not to the records. Recent albums that he recorded later music. The Group "Alliance", Inna Zhelannaya, "Aria", the last album "Autograph", "Kamennyi Krai" - everything was in one place record. So this was all over and correct.
Here's what one person in history. The people left. And I couldn't find a person who could adequately read what I want! Of course, a new music, new people, new sounds, but those who wanted a real, live professional sounding, orphaned. Everything today is optimized on the electronics, etc.
With regard to Sergey Patrushev, he finally returned. He built a house in Krasnodar. I asked: "Why you House under the Krasnodar?" - "You know, there are warm, there is great! There are fruits, vegetables, sea nearby and there weather, climate, there is silence, there not Moscow". Held annually... Call: "Well?" - "Sell. I can't. Tosca crotalus. Here too well. Can't without Moscow". - "Well, come on, come on". - "OK! Ready again write work." We simply from another generation of other words.
Here's an interesting. With Karen I'm working on the market: Alla Pugacheva, Orbakaite, Gvercitelli, Leps, Mikhailov - all verses by Karen. The profound music that himself, my Rhode is a Patrushev. Except, of course, our poets well-established, Russian poets-classics. I had a lot of songs from Slutsky and ending with Mandelshtam. Patrushev of the same view on poetry. And Karen is perfect songwriter. It is built specifically song. I've written many songs that could calmly sing yourself and feel great in the Russian chanson market. And here's my mouth isn't talking! We should be doing, when and what word you say.
So live. Great. Write and write. And playing the accordion ...
E.G. - Goes, accordion never released out of hand?
Andrey Misin: - Practically, Yes. By the way, to Russian culture came through the accordion. The amazing thing. When he studied at the Conservatory, the last three in absentia. It was the Alma-Ata Conservatory and moved at that time in Moscow. And here's to making money on long-haul flights, three years worked in Western Belarus at weddings. Played on accordion. Sometimes hours on 5-6, with light room lamps.
I played polkas, waltzes, folk songs, and more. Apparently, during these three years, Western European, Slavonic, Polish-Belarusian culture so entered in my body, which was a natural result when moved to Moscow, released the album "Az esm", "Chuzhoj" and other-purely Slavic songs. This happened naturally. Once! And went in this direction. Only a few years playing on people's weddings in villages where people are singing folk songs. When I was accompanied by, the head itself something happened.
Before that I was not the biggest folklorist. And is there such a mixture of cultures! Western Belarus, where the simultaneous influence of Ukraine, Poland, Russia. Is there such a curious music!
E.G. - What instrument do you get started his career in music?
Andrey Misin: - I have always one instrument - microphone. A little I can play the piano. Even once in the ensemble played on it. But always was a singer.
E.G. - Tatiana Akhramkova, with which you have put performance "The Dwarf", do you have too creative?
Andrey Misin: - We just for a while deal. Love to 2-3 years tightly than one to deal with. After this me is quite boring. Brains need something more.
I'm quite erratic. Maybe for this reason, I retired from the stage, I am so tired of the same sing! At all times be the same. Like an entirely different. Want to try everything. Many blamed Me for it, but want to live their lives.
That confusing at all times come and say: "Here I am!". This is pointless. You, in the end, this monument and you will die. This uninteresting.
I every day trying to find new music. Not only its. With great pleasure I wander over the Internet and various Gotham, for myself in all directions. I enjoy the simple things.
Recently, Artemy Troitsky where casually about American site, where many Russians. One is the only University website's many new Russian artists that send songs in the hope of the American market.
It was opened by video and suddenly see a band, which, in my opinion, is called "Prologue". Guy and a girl. And such a clip! Got such a pleasure! Despite the fact that everything they do know by heart, I can enjoy simple fortunes of other people.
At the same time listen to the most complicated album by Sting, where he played the lute Egin Karamazov. Many respond negatively. And, in my opinion, a magnificent album where showing new features, as can be accessed with sound. As Lute sounded in today, with all the technical capabilities of today, with all treatments.
Because you cannot make music something static. When listening to this album by Sting, catching that I like it yet because sounds so modern! Not frozen in time, of the century.
And at the same time love very authentic ancient music to listen to and in the original. In short, live their lives.
E.G. - At that time you like Sergey Patrushev also ran away to the country?
Andrey Misin: - Not quite... I built a summer cottage in the Woods and thought I'll write a lot?! And it turns out that there have been travelling in the year day twenty. Squirrels, foxes, birds... Sometimes I go there I arrive and even his guitar not ras?ehl??. Get back out on the porch, and so good! There's no need to artificial music. The very nature of music. You start to enjoy natural music, music of nature.
E.G. - Unreachable ideal?
Andrey Misin: - If you want to get to the music of nature, then better to go to the East. It is for this principle are all Eastern philosophy and stuff. You have to dissolve it. Usually the person who creates something myself, dissolving in nature during three days may be enough for the next year, own work.
But do not come on nature, take out the guitar, fry kebab and on the whole forest of yelling songs. This is possible. If you do not hear from nature, you do not hear anything.
E.G. - This is akin to how composers of the past, like Mussorgsky, "drink from folklore" before creating their masterpieces?
Andrey Misin: - No, Mussorgsky not so "drink from folklore" during the period when he wrote the music. If a person deals with some kind of folk culture, this should be included either in early childhood or early adolescence. Somewhere out there. After a while it starts in you respond.
Amazing effect! This is the same as I learned to play the accordion. He stayed with me for life! Were funny moments, when the Studio recorded organ party, but I was told that "you're on organ timbre is play as the accordion or both bayan". I have thinking quite popular. Bayan and accordion are folk instruments, and children tend to teach at some samples of folk music. Here is the left and it shows up. Everything from earlier years.
For Musorgsky - Yes, because as a child he was surrounded by a vast number of folk music, from the nanny, who sang to the atmosphere, in which he lived, where there was only folk music.
As a rule, people arriving somewhere, begins to learn. The important thing is that learning is not spoiled its genetic code. And while studying contemporary musics comes. Why all schools students attempt to write in a modern manner type avant-garde and others? Don't understand what you have to catch it, and genetic predisposition. In the end, it turns out the funny thing-they all write, write, write up. After 20 years they begin to write normal music. In that it coincides with them and society and everyone understands: Yes, now this is it. So any artist goes this way. Not talking about his fascination with groups like "Led Zeppelin", "Emerson, Lake & Palmer", etc.
When I tried it and found myself on other areas associated with myself, I have not stopped their love, and stopped to listen to them!
My House just the richest collection of performances all rock bands. Video, media - which only, no! I don't listen to it, its youth. I have everything. At any time, when I listen to nostalgia and the work, know exactly what it is I have. But that is a tribute, although track the fate of these people.
Not going to play in this manner, but to me, these people just like them.
There is such a group "Police", which gathered again and went to 1.5 years a world tour. Sting returned its musicians, and after a taxiing on tour. Literally a week ago in drive and I bought it yesterday, it's my eyes lies. Concert from Buenos Aires these old men that 25 years ago blew up the world of songs like "Roxanne" and stuff.
Over 25 years. These people are just cool, just delicious, so aggressively. Such grandparents. This is what is missing to us. For some reason our adult musicians with such persistence work and in the day today! All these people have already money, yachts. Nerve has left. Probably, this is not so much been fair in their music.
Listen to our rockers and understand: everything is empty. I judge on music my mate, Andrey Makarevich. We are on good terms with him. But a new his music, frankly, to listen to is not ready. And about the music of that time - can sign on each song. It appeared to match exactly the time and now is just nostalgia. It is a pity.
And take any song "Led Zeppelin"! That then it would be that now.
E.G. - Is there a need for composer remain up-to-date?
Andrey Misin: - It is not a matter of modernity. With regard to rock music, as a rule, this rock is one day. Everything depends on the talent. If one day is so talented, that is already as art, ranging from vocal abilities and ending with some innovative arrangements, etc. - This is where you can learn. How would this is tutorial.
Any good composer understands measure talent of his works. And, as a rule, if the road it gets there, he should be able to look back, watch and itself to learn. Sometimes talented works appear in the period of madness, when you write on a whim without any tutorials. Sometimes give you the opportunity to see this measure of madness when you are already have time charges. Looking back, do you sometimes see that in your madness was laid a good idea, and if you broke off from it, then try to come back to this madness. That is, we should ignore it. Again purely psychologically.
For myself I know that the less you have, the less distracting some household moments, the easier it is to compose. If you get up in the morning and think about what's needed to repair a crane and roof - forget about music.
And the most dangerous moment is money. Once thought to earn money, you are joining to dangerous trail. Should be: whether you will be able to pass on it, earn money and to itself, as did all the great composers in the world. As a rule, pure creativity money does not. So sometimes many composers turned to craft - writing songs, performances, music, movies and etc.
Once earned money starts you please, you can take applied for now. And say to myself, "So did I! So here's the same! I'm so good to write even money get! ". A muse everything next, next, next.
The day before yesterday made one song and sent Grigoriy. The same day he record another my song in the Studio. And they both ballad songs. He says: "Oh, brother, but I can't grasp two ballads in a row!" and here last night I sat down and played the ballad guitar style reggae, and realized that this is not a ballad. It is very beautiful, structural, fashionable, delicious and reasonably clever reggae. So delighted that midnight has not slept.
Every artwork that do, first I record, think, try, and only then someone show. Should I get pleasure from the work itself. Whatever the simplicity or complexity it wasn't.
I may be wrong. Let's say there are in the Repertoire Grigoriy song that reach the discs, but previous concert Leps was called on it - "Words".
This is an amazing song! Gregory says that people are starting to include lighters and help me. It's about love. We with Karen, by the way, she wrote. It's not published, although he long ago her recorded and plays in concerts. So, I did not recognize the song. I made it such a beautiful. Added the Symphonic sounds, one another. Over three months. Think: why doesn't it inserts? It turns out, he put out, played just: Hammond organ, guitar, drums and sang. The beauty of pure!
No need to decorate that and so beautiful. This is also an experience. All try to knock out small their thoughts into sounds. And good thoughts mask is not necessary.
E.G. - At that time you have started to perform songs because not performer. Today you found?
Andrey Misin: - I meant only one music that except me, nobody would agree to serve. This is an amazing thing, but we are Patrushev on this topic before yesterday said. He said: "you can't give away their Christian Slavonic Northern music to anyone. Nobody even close is not suited to this topic ". - "Here's to gather people who sang this, this and this song". - "Take it easy! Such music space perceives only by you. How would you not sang her imperfect, or how would you her bungle made ".
This principle Musorgsky. How would bungle it wrote the musical score, but he has done exactly the way he couldn't do.
This is for my part that is not English, Slavic, not Nearslavic? music. No people in this way in this direction. As neither walked except me, so no one walks. This is a very responsible and terrible theme. This is the music, in which one wrong step - and everything turns in Paphos.
It was an interview and girl asked: "how we we'll call article? In general your music ". I said that my music musical for one person. I try to live a different life.
Incidentally, now I'm much better sing and better write new works. And all this thanks to pop music. "Drinking" other repertoire, start suddenly understand something new. Grigory me says: "Here song "Words"... I reply: "Good sang!". And it is: "Fuck, I won't repeat like her sang!". This is me says Leps, not the worst singer.
It is important that everything was properly emotionally. Earlier I didn't.
E.G. - You once said that Kormuhina: "On stage do not Stanislavski..."
Andrey Misin: - It's another story. I'm so treat their music which we are talking about. Here is some principle without identity. When speaking of eternal, author and artist should be like in the Church, as sung by Orthodox singers or Roman Catholics. You do not recognize the cantors in chorus. And even soloists not recognize. In this work I don't head. A master - piece. It originates from folklore.
When we turn to a culture that was fixed for centuries, honest approach to the material. We did Not. We may be his only conductors.
And in other musical genres in pop, rock there versa. There without leader to do nothing. Because the content: Yes, no, girl, baby-baby. This is also nice, but there are based on these words, all the chants to commercial music.
If you think at the moment of performances on stage about the meaning of the songs will be nonsense. You must please the people a voice vote, body, beauty, etc. You must give people joy songs. Therefore they are not very heavy. Even the darkest ballads in pop music are banal to the limit.
Once David Gilmour asked: "What you see secret "Pink Floyd" and your joy?" - "The main joy that we write quite difficult texts and people their understands and loves". It's not even about music said, and about the texts. There were aware that they listen.
Once in America asked his friend: "You have all, probably, in love with Michael Jackson and Madonna?" He says: "Do not function. Michael Jackson and Madonna is a superstar. It is not even being discussed. They have earned a lot of money, and this is also not being discussed. And we, here I am, for example (he is a member of the Clinton Administration) like Lou Reed, Tom Waits ".
Jackson and Madonna - held fact. And here's to love you what feels like love. When he said about Lou Reed and Tom Waits, I am very delighted. In the Russian administration of many like "Time machine", Viktor Tsoi, "Sunday", etc. What grew up something and love.
E.G. - Your wishes to all lovers of good music?
Andrey Misin: - We must be able to enjoy any music and only. Even if suddenly enjoy music score on two weeks - it was not okay. I once heard a group "Jethro Tull" and said "that's bullshit", and a year later she became one of the favorite me groups.
Man is not perfect, he could not understand. The main thing is not to deny not kicked that does not understand. Maybe in a year you will become the biggest fan of this.
I wish in the new year people forgot the word "crisis". All successfully it broke. It is not only financial and moral disaster. I wish people less pay attention that went into the street walking and breathe fresh air. Be happy!

Debate heats up in Egypt over women's inheritance rights
CAIRO - After Tunisian President Beji Caid Essebsi called for women to be granted equal inheritance rights, many in Egypt issued similar appeals, sparking a nationwide debate.
"Women carry the same social and economic responsibilities as men and sometimes more," said Egyptian writer Farida al-Shubashi. "This is why they deserve to be treated on equal footing with men as far as inheritance rights are concerned."
Caid Essebsi last month expressed support for the introduction of legislation that would reform the inheritance system in Tunisia towards gender equality.
The inheritance system in operation in most Arab countries, including Tunisia and Egypt, is based on Islamic law and typically allows men to inherit double what a woman would receive. If Caid Essebsi's proposal becomes law, Tunisia would enforce full gender equality in matters of inheritance with sharia-based rules becoming optional.
Caid Essebsi's stance emboldened Egyptian feminists who say the current system is outdated and fails to consider growing social equality between men and women.
About 37% of Egyptian households are supported by women, government figures indicate. Women make up 22.9% of Egypt's workforce. Women hold almost 15% of the seats in parliament and eight members of the 33-member Egyptian cabinet are women.
This growing importance of the role of women, feminists say, requires a reinterpretation of the religious texts on which current laws are based.
"The interpretation of the religious texts needs to match the changes happening on the ground," said Dena Anwer, an Egyptian TV commentator on women's issues. "Many of the practices that were based on a misinterpretation of the texts have already changed because they no longer match developments on the ground."
There are major historic parallels between major sociopolitical developments in Tunisia and Egypt. The popular uprising against longstanding Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali erupted in Tunisia in December 2010. One month later, similar protests saw the ouster of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
The Islamist Ennahda Party won a majority of seats in the Constituent Assembly of Tunisia in 2011. Just months later, Egyptian Islamist parties, including the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, secured a majority in the Egyptian lower house.
However, when it comes to inheritance rights and the wider issue of gender equality, Egypt may have more ground to cover than Tunisia, which grants women more rights than most countries in the Arab and Muslim world.
Few Egyptian parents treat their daughters as equal to their sons, particularly in terms of education and social mobility. In 2015, government figures indicated that 27.3% of women were illiterate, compared to 14.7% of men.
In some parts of Egypt, particularly the countryside, where issues over inheritance are viewed as extremely important due to land ownership considerations, some husbands divorce their wives when they do not give birth to boys.
Al-Azhar, the highest religious authority in the Sunni Islamic world, reacted angrily to Caid Essebsi's call and its officials spoke out against Egyptians backing inheritance reform.
Al-Azhar said those proposing equal inheritance rights between men and women violate the rules of Islam.
"Financial burdens are heavier in the case of men," said Mohamed al-Shahat al-Guindi, a member of the Islamic Research Academy, the decision-making body of Al-Azhar. "True, there can be more than one interpretation for the same religious text, when it comes to inheritance, the Holy Quran is very clear."
In a statement last month about the Tunisian legislative proposal, Al-Azhar said some people's "extreme ideas" could threaten the security and stability of societies.
Egypt's parliament has entered the equal inheritance rights debate yet. Some legislators declined to comment on the issue and said they would not propose legislation that could prove divisive or anger the religious establishment.
Feminists, however, say granting women equal inheritance rights would push religious reform in Egypt forward.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has made several public calls for Al-Azhar to lead a reform process. In August, Sisi criticised Egypt's religious authorities for failing to make changes regarding divorce.
Under Islamic law, a husband is permitted to verbally divorce his wife. Sisi called for divorce to be recognised by the state only when it has been issued in a written document, giving husbands the chance to reconsider calls for divorce made during heated arguments. Al-Azhar refused, citing Islamic law.
Many say the issue of equal inheritance could become the next major battleground between Egypt's civilian and religious authorities, with Sisi still believed to be keen on pushing forward religious reform.
"Equating women with men when it comes to inheritance cannot be viewed as a violation of the Islamic religion," said Azza Kamel, a civil society campaigner active in defending women's rights. "It should be viewed, in fact, as part of the aspired religious reform."

How about we consider giving up plastic use in our daily lives? Sounds impossible as plastics play a major role in our daily lives. They are an essential part of our cars, computers, mobile phones, children's toys and most of everything we use on a day-to-day basis. Our kitchens are a magnet for plastic storage and single use plastic items. The other thing that makes it hard to envision life without plastic items is that they are cheap and easily available.
Great ideas begin at home, we spend most of our time in the comfort of our homes, and most of the time we are in the kitchen either preparing or either putting away food. The food we make in the kitchen determines what kind of life we are going to live and in terms of health. Plastics are a staple of our kitchen environment, and it is time we limit its use or possibly quit them.
Single Use Plastics – Plastic bottles
Single use plastics, or disposable plastics, are plastic materials that are generally used once then thrown away. Examples of these materials are plastic water bottles and plastic bags. These are the two most commonly used plastics in the kitchen that we can do without.
Plastic water bottles are bad for you, and they are bad for the environment because they increase our dependency on fossil fuels. The fact that they have to be manufactured and delivered to a location close to you increases our carbon footprint. If the demand for single use plastic bottles goes down, this would impact the environment in a positive way and decrease our footprint over time. There is also the question of how to dispose of them, as we all know it takes a long time for plastics to decompose.
Try instead: Refrain from using plastic water bottles by purchasing reusable stainless-steel water bottles. This option not only helps reduce plastic waste but also protects you from harm caused by plastics when they seep into the water. Plastic drinking bottles contain harmful chemicals. These chemicals are bisphenol-A also known as BPA which leach into bottles when exposed to heat or when used numerous times.
Straws and Plastic bags
Straws and plastic bags are other single use plastics that we need to get rid of in the kitchen. Plastic bags are bad for the environment and well, they are the most pointless things we use. The solution is to consciously make the effort to always bring your own grocery bag whenever you decide to take a trip to the store.
Straws on the other hand are an unnecessary tool with adverse effects on the environment. Straws are used once and thrown away and the fact that we use straws for drinks is absurd.
Try instead: If there is any need to use a straw we should use stainless-steel straws. Straws, like other plastics, end up in the ocean. Once in the ocean, sea life confuses them for food and end up eating them, leading to starvation due to the difficulty of digesting plastics. Some of the plastics are broken down and end up as micro-organisms in water which fish feed on and are present in the water which we filter for human use. We also end up ingesting these micro plastics when we eat sea food and regular land animals which also consume the water we use.
Pre-packaged foods
We live in a world where we are constantly busy and always working, so our time is limited. Pre-packaged food is our go-to accessory to fill us up. Pre-packaged foods create a demand for plastics which are specifically created to store these foods. The food itself has added chemicals to stay good for a long while. The same leaching may happen to the foods, which might lead to negative health effects.
Plastic Storage containers
There are some plastics which may not be single use, but we should also get rid of those from our kitchen. Plastic storage containers are certainly not good for you. Most plastics contain two major elements bisphenol –A(BPA) which is added to make the plastics clear for us to see through them and phthalates is added to make plastics soft and flexible.
Most of us use plastic food containers for storage of excess food and also to carry food to work or as you travel during the day. Food can't stay hot all day long so reheating is necessary. It is not possible to reheat food on gas cookers at work for safety issues and it's time consuming. We end up using the microwave to reheat most of our foods. While reheating food in plastic storage containers, the two chemicals BPA and Phthalates migrate or leach into the food we eat. These two have are causes to diseases like cancer, heart disease and others.
Abandon Non-stick pans
Most nonstick pans are know as Teflon, which is simply a brand name for a plastic known as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). PTFE is a fluoropolymer plastic. Fluoropolymers are compounds that contain fluorine. PTFE is only dangerous when it is heated to 500 degrees F. When it does get to this point it starts starts deteriorating, releasing fumes which cause flu symptoms and are bad for birds.
Try instead: Most people won't cook at those temperatures but either way, stainless steel pans are better and last longer, most non-stick pans always end up spoiling over a short period of time and you end up spending money that could be used in other important areas of your life.
Avoid Plastic Spray bottles
Use vinegar instead! We have an incredibly helpful post on apple cider vinegar hacks – you'll be amazed at how handy it can be.
Most plastics are bad for our health and the environment. The only way to fix these issues is by just giving up on plastics. As hard as it may seem there are alternatives to plastics. Alternatives to most kitchen plastics and plastic storage are stainless steel products and glass based containers.
If you do have to use plastics, try to limit their use but slowly start migrating from them.
