![]() ![]() This can create a significant rise in the static levels found in the area.Copper is an element that is sometimes confused when it comes to its electrical properties. An ionizer creates negative ions by discharging electrical current, similar to the corona discharge effect a lightning storm creates. What Risks Are There When Using an Ionizer?Īt this time the only reports on using an ion generator are when they are used in compact areas, such as a bedroom. There have not been many reports on any other negative effects from negative ions. This causes more dust and dirt to accumulate. Due to being negatively charged they are attracted to positively charged surfaces. Many of these devices are not equipped with fans needed, manufacturers suggest these products be used in close proximity to the person using them.Īnother set back to negative ion devices is that to its density negative ions are unable to stay in the air. Indoor devices to create negative ions need constant airflow to circulate the ions throughout the room. Electronic devices and heating/air conditioning emit ions that are positively charged. For negative ions to be effective indoors similar levels need to be created. In the great outdoors typically the environments contain 5,000 plus negative ions per cubic centimeter. Is There Any Negative Attribute to Negative Ions? People have also created devices and solutions to help the world have more negative ions in their lives. Ocean/seas, rivers, thunderstorms, and waterfalls all create negatively charged ions. They are found abundantly in nature, always outweighing the positive ions found in the great outdoors. Negative ions can be found literally everywhere. The team from the United States of America defeated them in the 1980 Winter Olympics. For the next two decades, the Soviets were a force to be reckoned with. The Soviets used this policy to become a dominant force in sports on the international level.įive years after introducing negative ions to their athletes, they won their first international ice hockey tournament in 1958. These generators were used in the training of, hockey players, boxers, swimmers, and track and field athletes. Have These Ions Been Used on Athletes?Ī short time after World War II ended, the Soviet Union conducted studies that included negative ion ozone generators being used. Increasing oxygen into the bloodstream results in higher levels of physical and mental energy. It also increases the oxygen flow into the bloodstream. Some tests have shown these ions can reduce infection, as well as accelerating the healing process. Exposure to negative ions has been shown to alleviate symptoms from a migraine, hay fever, and post-operative pains. This can create a calming effect for a person. When a person is exposed to negative ions brain activity increases, meaning levels of awareness increase. ![]() Reports of negative ions increasing people’s moods to increasing recovery time have shown up time and time again. Therapy using ions can provide relief from many mental/physical symptoms, thus improving a person’s overall health. They have been used as alternative medicine. ![]() What Are the Positive Effects of Negative Ions? ![]() So far there have only been a few notations of negative ions having a negative effect.

![]() “Schoolly D’s ‘ PSK, What Does It Mean’ and Cool C’s ‘Glamorous Life’ are anthems about the gangster getting money,” he says. ![]() Nothing comes easy for us, and that’s what you hear in that record.”Īlthough Cosmic Kev places “Dreams and Nightmares (Intro)” in the rarefied group of requisite Philly hip-hop records, he believes it’s in a class by itself. He had to reinvent himself he had to fight. Then for a minute, Kevin Hart was the comedian from Soul Plane. You think about Kevin Hart, this dude had a TV show on ABC that came on Friday nights and got cancelled. ![]() People only see the international superstar part. He was flat broke, then he rose and became this international superstar. “But before that, he was a rapper, and he went broke. “You think about Will Smith and people think of Will Smith the actor,” Harris says. ![]() Other icons who have come from behind to emerge victorious from the city are stronger parallels. The clear difference is that Meek Mill is no fictional manifestation of Philly’s spirit, and his anthem has not only a dynamic edge, but speaks to an even less glamorous component of the city’s makeup. It was going to be a Philadelphia anthem.”Ĭomparing Meek Mill to Rocky Balboa, or “Dreams and Nightmares (Intro)” to “ Gonna Fly Now,” the theme from Rocky, is easy. “When I heard, ‘Hold up wait a minute…’ I knew, right then and there, that it was over. “I remember listening to the where the piano is playing, and he told me to just wait,” he says. But at the time, he was pushing ‘Amen’ because of the feature, back when those guys were good.”Ĭosmic Kev was impressed by “Willy Wonka,” but also immediately recognized that “Dreams and Nightmares (Intro)” was sublime. Because, once again, the energy on that record. “When he sent me ‘Willy Wonka,’ I was snappin’ on that. “He sent me ‘Dreams & Nightmares,’ ‘ Amen,’ and ‘ Willy Wonka’ - which was off one of the mixtapes, because he had done those records early,” Cosmic Kev says. According to Cosmic Kev, the intro wasn’t the song from this initial batch that Meek was the most enthusiastic about. I didn’t think they was gon’ catch it the way they caught it.”ĭJ Cosmic Kev, a legend at Philadelphia’s Power 99 FM and one of the most respected voices in the local hip-hop community, says “Dreams and Nightmares (Intro)” was one of three records Meek sent him well before his debut was released. “But you know, that’s why I made that song in that manner. “I didn’t think would respond to that song like that,” he admitted on Hot 97’s Juan Epstein podcast in 2013. Meek Mill said he’s long felt the record was special (“Me and my homies, we always thought that about the intro,” he told Complex in 2014, in response to Drake’s praise), but he’s acknowledged that he had no idea it would adopt this extended cultural afterlife. Therein lies the root of the song’s popularity: it’s become an anthem because it channels a relatable narrative into raw energy - something any listener can feel. But being written off or doubted is not exclusive to Philadelphia - that’s a narrative many can relate to or, at the very least, understand. They, like Meek, succeeded despite being written off. Hence why the Philadelphia Eagles have embraced it as their anthem during a rocky journey to Super Bowl Lll. It’s deeply rooted in Meek Mill’s North Philadelphia upbringing the grit and chip-on-your-shoulder ambition that characterize the city are evident throughout the song. Much of that impact comes from the feeling “Dreams and Nightmares (Intro)” evokes. ![]() ![]() Officials were also reasonably confident that Clinton would win. The Obama administration had to an extent downplayed what it knew about Russia’s election-related activities during the course of the campaign, trying to keep partisan politics separate from a national security issue. ![]() That swiftly changed in the wake of Trump’s unexpected victory. The Steele dossier became a big deal during the transitionĬorn’s story did not play a particularly large role in what remained of the election campaign, and though the Clinton campaign certainly threw some Russia-related charges at Trump, the issue was not a centerpiece of her message. Steele also shared the document with the FBI, where it was apparently taken at least somewhat seriously in light of Steele’s record as an intelligence professional, and the existence of the dossier was subsequently revealed by David Corn of Mother Jones on October 31. Steele’s dossier circulated in the media during the fall of 2016, but news organizations largely failed to verify any of its key claims. That work led to the compilation of Steele’s dossier, written up in the style of an intelligence report and based on unnamed sources, that contained a variety of serious charges against Trump. Perkins Coie, at Elias’s behest and with the bills ultimately paid by Clinton and the DNC, continued to fund Fusion’s work through the end of October 2016, though the people involved say that neither the campaign nor the DNC was aware of the details of Fusion’s work.įusion, in turn, subcontracted with Christopher Steele, a retired MI-6 officer with considerable expertise on Russian matters, to use his contacts in Moscow to find what he could about Trump’s connections to the Russian government. Later, in April 2016, Marc Elias - a top Democratic campaign lawyer - retained Fusion GPS through his firm of Perkins Coie on behalf of both Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee. According to Free Beacon editor Matthew Continetti and chair Michael Goldfarb, the firm was were engaged early in the 2016 cycle “to provide research on multiple candidates in the Republican presidential primary.” A 2012 Wall Street Journal op-ed revealed that Fusion GPS worked for Democrats doing opposition research on Mitt Romney. The company’s extremely terse website describes it as simply providing “premium research, strategic intelligence, and due diligence services to corporations, law firms, and investors worldwide.”Īs a DC-based firm, some of their work has been political. ![]() Fusion GPS hired Christopher Steele to investigate Trumpįusion GPS, the company that created the dossier, was co-founded in 2011 by Glenn Simpson, Peter Fritsch, and Thomas Catan - three former Wall Street Journal journalists who were part of a larger 21st-century trend of experienced reporters adapting to the changing economic climate by leaving the field in favor of various forms of “strategic intelligence” or research for hire. It’s a piece of ephemera whose waxing and waning reputation and varied political valence says more about the shifting politics of Trump and Russia than anything else. The allegations in the dossier played essentially no role in either the GOP primary or the general election, and, contrary to the dueling myths of left- and right-wing conspiracy theorists, it is not the case that subsequent investigation has vindicated the dossier’s claims or that the Trump investigation is primarily based on those claims. ![]() Its origins of liberal hopes of exposing a massive conspiracy that would bring Trump down have led to its current status as the center of a conservative conspiracy theory that’s supposed to bring Robert Mueller down. That brings the Steele dossier - yes, this is the document alleging the existence of a “pee tape” that the Russians may have used to blackmail Trump - to a strange point. Devin Nunes’ controversial memo has put Christopher Steele, the former British intelligence officer who worked during the 2016 campaign cycle on compiling a dossier alleging the existence of a conspiracy between Donald Trump and the Russian government. ![]() ![]() ![]() Minor injuries that cause bruising or even a simple cut may become serious if you're taking blood thinners.
