The Twist”—Chubby Checker (1960) Added to the National Registry: 2012 Essay by Jim Dawson (Guest Post)*
“The Twist”—Chubby Checker (1960) Added to the National Registry: 2012 Essay by Jim Dawson (guest post)* Chubby Checker Chubby Checker’s “The Twist” has the distinction of being the only non-seasonal American recording that reached the top of “Billboard’s” pop charts twice, separately. (Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas” topped the holiday tree in 1942, 1945, and 1947). “The Twist” shot to No. 1 in 1960, fell completely off the charts, then returned over a year later like a brand new single and did it all over again. Even more remarkable was that Checker’s version was a nearly note-for- note, commissioned mimicry of the original “The Twist,” written and recorded in 1958 by R&B artist Hank Ballard and released as the B-side of a love ballad. Most remarkable of all, however, is that Chubby Checker set the whole world Twisting, from Harlem clubs to the White House to Buckingham Palace, and beyond. The Twist’s movements were so rudimentary that almost everyone, regardless of their level of coordination, could maneuver through it, usually without injuring or embarrassing themselves. Like so many rhythm and blues songs, “The Twist” had a busy pedigree going back decades. In 1912, black songwriter Perry Bradford wrote “Messin’ Around,” in which he gave instructions to a new dance called the Mess Around: “Put your hands on your hips and bend your back; stand in one spot nice and tight; and twist around with all your might.” The following year, black tunesmiths Chris Smith and Jim Burris wrote “Ballin’ the Jack” for “The Darktown Follies of 1913” at Harlem’s Lafayette Theatre, in which they elaborated on the Mess Around by telling dancers, “Twist around and twist around with all your might.” The song started a Ballin’ the Jack craze that, like nearly every new Harlem dance, moved downtown to the white ballrooms and then shimmied and shook across the country. -

What Do Y Tell Us About the Industry in Brazil?
May 2007 – Phase I Report This publication is under embargo up to 31 May, 11 am (EST) HE TOBACCO INDUSTRY DOCUMENTS: WHAT DO THEY TELL US ABOUT THE INDUSTRY IN BRAZIL? T This work was commissioned by the Pan American Health Organization as part of a multi-phase project to analyze the tobacco industry and tobacco control in Brazil. This preliminary report represents Phase I of the project EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • This report builds on a previously published Pan American Health Organization report and presents preliminary results of a multi-phase project to map out the roles of the tobacco industry and of the tobacco control movement in Brazil. • This initial phase was developed to document the strategies and operations of the tobacco industry in Brazil as it can be determined from the tobacco industry documents publicly available after the settlement of legal cases of 46 states and territories of the United States with the US- based tobacco companies. • Brazil is an important tobacco market: its large, young, population appeal to tobacco companies searching to expand and it has a large tobacco growing, manufacturing and export business. • Despite the role of tobacco in the Brazilian economy, Brazil has been a world leader in implementing a regulatory framework in which the tobacco 1 May 2007 – Phase I Report industry operates. Overall adult smoking prevalence seems to be in decline, but youth smoking remains high in certain areas of the country. • The main cigarette companies operating in the country are Souza Cruz, a subsidiary of British American Tobacco, with approximately 75% share of market; and Philip Morris Brazil, part of Philip Morris International, with approximately 15% of the market. -

ISSN: 2574-1241 Volume 5- Issue 4: 2018 DOI: 10.26717/BJSTR.2018.07.001570 Murad Mehmood. Biomed J Sci & Tech Res Research Article Open Access Analysis of effects of Smoking on Lung Function, and Respiratory Muscle Strength of Pakistani Youth Murad Mehmood*, Muhammad Ahmad Shahid and Ahmar Saleem Services institute of medical sciences Lahore, Pakistan Received: August 04, 2018; Published: August 13, 2018 *Corresponding author: Murad Mehmood, Services institute of medical sciences Lahore, Pakistan Abstract Introduction: In the present era, cigarette smoking is a major but preventable cause of death. Despite being aware of its harmful and hazardous effects, many young adults begin experimenting with cigarettes at a very early age and then adopt it as a regular habit. Objectives of the Study: The basic objective of our study is to analyze the effects of smoking on lung function, and respiratory muscle strength of Pakistani youth. Methodology of the Study: This study was conducted at Services institute of medical sciences, Lahore during 2017. Youth male subjects aged 12 to 18 years participated in this cross-sectional study. Socio-demographic values and medical history of the selected patients were recorded clearly. Prior to participation in this study, each subject signed an informed consent form to comply with the ethical guidelines. Results: Most subjects started cigarette smoking between the ages of 15 to 18 years. The most common duration of cigarette smoking was 1-3 years. Three major parameters, chest expansion, lung function using spirometry, and respiratory muscle strength, were compared and these all are high in smokers. Conclusion: It is concluded that most of the people started smoking in young age due to environmental and social factors. -

38 2000 Tobacco Industry Projects—a Listing (173 pp.) Project “A”: American Tobacco Co. plan from 1959 to enlist Professors Hirsch and Shapiro of NYU’s Institute of Mathematical Science to evaluate “statistical material purporting to show association between smoking and lung cancer.” Hirsch and Shapiro concluded that “such analysis is not feasible because the studies did not employ the methods of mathematical science but represent merely a collection of random data, or counting noses as it were.” Statistical studies of the lung cancer- smoking relation were “utterly meaningless from the mathematical point of view” and that it was “impossible to proceed with a mathematical analysis of the proposition that cigarette smoking is a cause of lung cancer.” AT management concluded that this result was “not surprising” given the “utter paucity of any direct evidence linking smoking with lung canner.”112 Project A: Tobacco Institute plan from 1967 to air three television spots on smoking & health. Continued goal of the Institute to test its ability “to alter public opinion and knowledge of the asserted health hazards of cigarette smoking by using paid print media space.” CEOs in the fall of 1967 had approved the plan, which was supposed to involve “before-and-after opinion surveys on elements of the smoking and health controversy” to measure the impact of TI propaganda on this issue.”113 Spots were apparently refused by the networks in 1970, so plan shifted to Project B.
