OH this will stop kids smoking...
Australia today unveiled logo- and brand-less cigarette packs that the government is hoping tobacco companies will use, if a legislation aimed at curbing smoking among young people is passed, reports News.com.au.
Under the proposed legislation, tobacco companies will be required to follow strict rules on cigarette packaging, including the removal of all logos and setting type in a specific font. The new packs are all olive green, which research found to be the “least attractive color for smokers”, the Australian news website said.
Health warnings and graphic images depicting the various diseases smoking can cause will be enlarged to take up 90% of the front of packs and 75% of the back, News.com.au said.
“Our research shows that the look of the pack is an important consideration for young people at risk of being drawn to smoking,” Ian Oliver, chief executive of the Heart Foundation and Cancer Council Australia, said in a statement.

FMG's Great Native Title Swindle
Caught red handed – this is a record of a supposed 'native title' meeting staged by the iron ore miner, Fortescue Metals Group (FMG). It shows how FMG, its agents, a lawyer and an opportunist splinter faction tried to destroy the unity of the Yindjibarndi people and give open slather to FMG for its Solomon Hub project. The video demonstrates the unscrupulous actions of a miner trying to bully traditional owners into a land use 'Agreement' that will see massive disturbance of country and will swindle several generations of Yindjibarndi people. The fight continues. See yindjibarndi.org.au/

KEXP Documentaries: “Sirens of Jazz” ‒ Billie Holiday
Billie Holiday is possibly the most famous female jazz singer of all. Though her voice ranged only about an octave, and she couldn’t read a note of music, Billie Holiday is hailed as one of the greatest musicians of all time for her interpretations of the songs. She was a storyteller. In life she was both tragic and triumphant. And her music has this vibrancy, this truth that makes her effective and memorable.
Her childhood was brutal, and by 14 she was jailed for prostitution. As a teenager she went to an audition intending to dance for money, but at the last minute the piano player suggested she try singing, and she brought the house down. She cut her first record with Benny Goodman at age 18. Throughout her life, Billie battled with heroin addiction and depression. And the media exploited her as a trainwreck. But it’s evident that Billie Holiday was intelligent, strong and sensitive. She kept going despite everything and recorded up until her death at age 44. She died handcuffed to a hospital bed, under arrest for narcotics possession. In her heyday she wore long white gowns and a gardenia in her hair. She’s quoted as saying “I’d wear the white dresses, and the white gardenia in my hair, and then they would bring me the white junk.”
Whether you view her as tragic or triumphant, Billie Holiday’s music is timeless and will live long past the rest of us.
