Codeine is a narcotic cough suppressant. It affects the signals in the brain that trigger cough reflex.
Guaifenesin is an expectorant. It helps loosen congestion in your chest and throat, making it easier to cough out through your mouth.
Guaiatussin AC is a combination medicine used to treat cough and chest congestion caused by allergies, the common cold, or the flu.
Guaiatussin AC will not treat a cough that is caused by smoking, asthma, or emphysema.
Guaiatussin AC may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Codeine can slow or stop your breathing, and may be habit-forming. MISUSE OF THIS MEDICINE CAN CAUSE ADDICTION, OVERDOSE, OR DEATH, especially in a child or other person using the medicine without a prescription.
Do not give this medicine to anyone under 18.
You should not take Guaiatussin AC if you are allergic to codeine or guaifenesin.
In some people, codeine breaks down rapidly in the liver and reaches higher than normal levels in the body. This can cause dangerously slow breathing and may cause death, especially in a child.
Do not give this medicine to anyone under 18.
To make sure Guaiatussin AC is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have ever had:
a cough with mucus;
asthma, COPD, or other breathing disorder;
blockage in your digestive tract (stomach or intestines);
a head injury or brain tumor;
low blood pressure; or
drug or alcohol addiction.
If you use codeine while you are pregnant, your baby could become dependent on the drug. This can cause life-threatening withdrawal symptoms in the baby after it is born. Babies born dependent on habit-forming medicine may need medical treatment for several weeks. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.
Do not breast-feed. Codeine can pass into breast milk and may cause drowsiness, breathing problems, or death in a nursing baby. Do not breast-feed.
Follow all directions on your prescription label. Codeine can slow or stop your breathing. Never use Guaiatussin AC in larger amounts, or for longer than prescribed. Cough or cold medicine is usually taken only for a short time until your symptoms clear up.
Codeine may be habit-forming, even at regular doses. Never share this medicine with another person, especially someone with a history of drug abuse or addiction. MISUSE OF NARCOTIC MEDICINE CAN CAUSE ADDICTION, OVERDOSE, OR DEATH, especially in a child or other person using the medicine without a prescription. Selling or giving away codeine is against the law.
Measure liquid medicine with the dosing syringe provided, or with a special dose-measuring spoon or medicine cup. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 7 days of treatment, or if you have a fever with a headache or skin rash.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Do not freeze. Keep track of the amount of medicine used from each new bottle. Codeine is a drug of abuse and you should be aware if anyone is using your medicine improperly or without a prescription.
Since Guaiatussin AC is used when needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are on a schedule, use the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. A codeine overdose can be fatal, especially in a child or other person using the medicine without a prescription. Overdose symptoms may include slow breathing and heart rate, severe drowsiness, muscle weakness, cold and clammy skin, pinpoint pupils, and fainting.
Guaiatussin AC may impair your thinking or reactions. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how this medicine will affect you. Dizziness or severe drowsiness can cause falls or other accidents.
Do not drink alcohol. Dangerous side effects or death could occur.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any other cough or cold medicine. Many combination medicines contain guaifensin. Taking certain products together can cause you to get too much of this medicine.
Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Like other narcotic medications, codeine can slow your breathing. Death may occur if breathing becomes too weak.
A person caring for you should seek emergency medical attention if you have slow breathing with long pauses, blue colored lips, or if you are hard to wake up.
Stop using this medicine and call your doctor at once if you have:
noisy breathing, sighing, shallow breathing;
a slow heart rate or weak pulse;
severe dizziness or drowsiness;
confusion, hallucinations, unusual thoughts or behavior;
little or no urinating;
severe constipation; or
slow heart rate, weak or shallow breathing.
Serious side effects may be more likely in older adults and those who are overweight, malnourished, or debilitated.
Common side effects may include:
constipation; or
mild drowsiness.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Taking Guaiatussin AC with other drugs that make you sleepy or slow your breathing can cause dangerous side effects or death. Ask your doctor before taking a sleeping pill, narcotic pain medicine, prescription cough medicine, a muscle relaxer, or medicine for anxiety, depression, or seizures.
Other drugs may interact with codeine and guaifenesin, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Tell your doctor about all your current medicines and any medicine you start or stop using.
Remember, keep this and all other medicines out of the reach of children, never share your medicines with others, and use this medication only for the indication prescribed.
Always consult your healthcare provider to ensure the information displayed on this page applies to your personal circumstances.

There's no denying the stunning beauty of Blue's voice…
The best numbers are the religious pop song "He's Been Faithful" and a rousing rendition of the traditional spiritual "Ride on, King Jesus." © 2015 Opera News Read complete review
…Angel Blue and Iain Burnside are a terrific pair. Blue isn't afraid to take risks in the Heggie; she's a great storyteller with a golden smooth voice. I like her singing; she has a lovely tone and great line…and Burnside's playing is, as usual, supportive and warm. © 2015 American Record Guide Read complete review on American Record Guide
This is a voice of youthful refulgence and versatility. Three songs by Jake Heggie effortlessly juggle cabaret panache, bittersweet lyricism and Habanera-like fire. A couple of zarzuela numbers tingle with Latin flair. A shining future beckons for Angel Blue, certainly in opera, probably in crossover, too. © 2015 Gramophone Read complete review on Gramophone
A sultry account of Gershwin's 'Summertime'; an ecstatic performance of Rachmaninov's 'Spring Waters' with thrillingly expansive top notes; and a dreamily languorous version of Liszt's 'When I sleep'. The variety is staggering too and Iain Burnside's accompanying is terrific. © 2014 Sinfini Music Read complete review

Zimbabwe: Mugabe sworn in for another five years as presidentComments
The president of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, has been sworn in for another five-year term.
The 89-year-old is the oldest leader in Africa.
Thousands of cheering supporters, diplomats and delegations from the region attended the inauguration ceremony at a football stadium in Harare.
The leader of the opposition, Morgan Tsvangirai, boycotted the ceremony. He has denounced the July 31 election as a "huge fraud".
Observers from the African Union said voting was broadly free and peaceful.
However the European Union has said it will review relations with Zimbabwe because of serious concerns about the election.
Britain, Zimbabwe's former colonial ruler, said there should be an independent investigation into allegations of voting irregularities. The US declared the election flawed.
It will be Mugabe's fifth term as president of the southern African state.

Cofton Win Bronze At South West Tourism Awards
16 February 2018
It's heartwarming to know we're doing a grand job for our guests. We love it when our team is recognised for their hard work and the passion they have for Cofton. Whether it's a TripAdvisor review from any of the lovely guests who've stayed with us, a personal thank you just as you're departing, or in this case, an industry recognised award. We just love all that positive feedback, so when we found out we were finalists in the Holiday Park of the Year category, we did a little dance!
The awards celebrate everything to do with tourism in the South West, from Cornwall all the way up to Dorset so we knew the competition would be fierce. There were a record-breaking 647 entries across all the categories this year.
It was great to see the South West represented so well, with the evening meaning so much to lots of different people.
"tonight means so much to our business". A popular phrase at the #swtawards @BBCSpotlight @swtourismawards pic.twitter.com/foWc2BWaG2
— Victoria Graham (@TVVictoriaG) February 1, 2018
The evening itself was spectacular. To be invited to celebrate everything that's brilliant about South West Tourism with many of our colleagues from across the region was really special. And (drum roll please…) to top it off, we won joint bronze in our category!
To win joint bronze was a great success for us. It shows we're amongst the best holiday parks in the South West and it's in recognition of the progress we've made at Cofton. Congratulations to Pentewan who we shared the Bronze with as well as Rockley Park who took Silver and of course Gwel An Mor and Oakdown for taking joint gold. We're coming for Gold next year, though 😉
If you want to see how the evening went, you can watch here…
Oh, and if you want to see what all the fuss is about… Then what are you waiting for?
Come and see Cofton for yourself… we can't wait to see you.
Book a Cofton break today!
Some of your kind words...
A brilliant stay as always. We stayed in a cottage this time which was beautiful and very well equipped. Lots of lovely little touches with a welcome hamper and lots of board games. Hubbie was well impressed with the huge TV too. Loved the courtyard and we were lucky enough to have the weather to BBQ 2 of the days. All the staff from reception to the shop to the entertainment were friendly and very accommodating of both my girls. Used the chippy which has recently changed hands and the food was still great. There is lots to do, loved the swimming, the zip wire, the park and walk in the woods and around the fishing lake. Have to be honest though we missed the caravan...... will definitely be back, hopefully in the Fernworthy van with the hot tub.
Had an amazing weeks holiday. The park was immaculate, the outdoor pool was spotless and the cleaning blocks were cleaned regularly. All the staff were very helpful and the shop on site was reasonably priced. We went with two kids (aged 6 and 7) and our dog, the kids were never bored and had an amazing holiday. We will definitely be returning next year!
My family and I stayed for 5 nights in July, aged between 13 and 40 and we all had a brilliant family stay. The teenagers loved the outdoor pool and the woods and we all loved the donkeys. I've been coming here since I was a child and it's still got a lovely relaxing atmosphere and has all the facilities you could want for a camping holiday. I must say the fish and chip shop is the best we have ever had at a holiday park, reasonable prices and good sized portions. We have booked to come back again on 25th August for a week and can't wait!
I visited when my relatives came over from Canada and fell in love. I was lucky enough to stay for a week last August for my sons 2nd birthday. It has got to be one of my favourite places to go. Absolutely beautiful, quiet, good facilities, lovely restaurants. The staff are outstanding. I can't wait to come back again this year!
Stayed in campervan for a weekend. Great campsite good location, plenty of things for all to do. Great fishing lakes all in a short walk through the woodland to the lovely Dawlish Warren and Dawlish. Couldn't fault.
Highbridge, United Kingdom
We have had a wonderful experience, the site is very clean, ALL the staff were friendly and helpful especially the bar supervisor, entertainment was second to none, we'll 100% return...
The Warren Family
I just want to say how impressed my fellow Motorhomers and Caravaners were with the welcome and service we received during our stay. Staff in the office were polite and helpful at all times. Scott the restaurant manager was most accommodating when I enquired about reserving space for 25 to 30 of us for lunch after a walk. The service in the restaurant was speedy the food hot and varied. We were very pleased with the standards. Staff in the restaurant were cheerful and polite and helped make our meal most enjoyable. We had such a good time that we will be returning again next year for our Xmas Rally.
The best holiday park we've been to in our motorhome. Our children aged 2 and 4 loved it. Great facilities, entertainment and activities in one of the best parts of Devon!

We usually camp 3 times a year and hire a caravan after the Christmas break at Cofton, and will continue to do so. We thoroughly recommend staying there. Great for families or just the 2 of you.
Jilly B, Cheltenham
Go for swimming and food at this fabulous holiday camp... facilities A-star so clean and just great value for money would defo use over and over again which I do.... I'm a regular visitor. Dip and dine always good option as the food and snacks are fantastic in the bar cafe area near swimming pool!

RBC I The era of fur trapping and earning a bounty for predation animals has long since passed. However, trapping was an integral part of the history of our Rio Blanco County area as well as the entire western United States.
Early trading with Native Americans was a substantial part of American history and as one historian suggests, "The opening of trading posts along the Missouri River, at the junction of the Yellowstone and Bighorn rivers, changed the economic dynamic of the Plains Indians." (www.thefurtrapper.com /fur_trappers.htm)
Native Americans began trapping out of necessity, using snares, nets, clubs and even deadfalls. It was not until the early 1800s that iron traps were really introduced and adopted as the main method of trapping.
Beaver pelts were primarily traded for guns and ammunition in the early days, before becoming profitable for the "mountain man" of the early West. Trapping was actually illegal in the beginning of the fur trade brigades, spanning from 1807 to 1840, but the laws were very difficult to enforce.
From 1818 to 1821, trapping brigades were sent to the Snake River and so trapping came to our area. Trapping became such a lucrative business companies such as the Northwest Company no longer relied solely on trading with Native Americans, they employed many Americans to trap for them.
The "Newhouse" iron traps were developed and, soon, larger traps were available for everything from beavers to larger animals such as bear.
Homesteaders, and later people simply wanting to add to their income, ran personal trap lines on their property. Money was offered for pelts as late as 1950.
This led to hunting of one of the most infamous and controversial predators of the United States and our northwest corner of Colorado — wolves. Wolves were considered a threat to trap lines, livestock and even humans, and were hunted and killed to protect the rural economy and human life.
One great story dating back to 1918 in our area is that of local George Wear shooting a wolf in his "long-handle" underwear. He and his wife, Bessie, had a daughter name Elinor who was born on March 20, 1918, on the Peterson Place at Three Springs.
"Wolves were howling around the cabin that night. They were 70 miles from a hospital, so Mrs. Si Bailey came and helped Bessie with the birth. George went out in knee-deep snow in his long-handle underwear shooting wolves."
The fact is, at the time, wolves were a threat. Perhaps equally as important, there was a bounty of up to $150 offered for a wolf pelt.
Imagine the difference that kind of money could make in that time. The times and land were tough, and the threat of a predator as well as prospect of income was certainly more important then concern for the animal.
In the 1920s and 1930s, the number of wolves killed annually peaked at approximately 21,000. This triggered conservation efforts and ideology, and later efforts to reintroduce the wolf in areas where the animal had been eradicated.
The wolf is an animal that engenders strong emotions for people from Canada south into the U.S. Wolves are known worldwide for the destructive capacity. Even today, the numbers of elk in Yellowstone Park alone vary drastically in accordance with the wolf numbers.
Hunting and trapping either wolves or beavers for trade or survival has been a key part of our history for many years.
Today's ideas about trapping and hunting tend to be very different than our ancestors, if our family's well-being and safety were on the line, our perspective might change.

The influence of alcohol for the period of reaction of the driver
Specific effect for the period of reaction renders alcohol, and even its small doses call considerable slowdown of reaction. Under the influence of a little of alcohol the time of reaction at the driver increases in 2 - 4 times.
So, at speed of movement of 40 km/hour the time of reaction to the appeared obstruction at the sober driver will be, approximately, 0.6 s, at the driver in a state of intoxication - 1.8 seconds In this connection will increase a way which car during reaction with 7 to 21 m will pass, and a longitudinal separation of safety with 27 to 41 m, i.e. twice.
Besides, at the driver who is in a condition of alcoholic intoxication, coordination of movement of the arm and feet is broken, ability of estimated by eye definition of distance is lost, there is a carelessness, wrong perception surrounding, feelings are blunted, visibility converges. If at the sober driver visibility makes 150 °, at drunk only 40 ° (so-called «tunnel sight»).
Car driving in a state of intoxication is the reason of the majority of road and transport incidents and consequently is a crime.

text: Paul McCartney's Childhood Home Sells for $231,000 12:20 AM PST 2/27/2015 by Abid Rahman FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Associated Press The Liverpool house sold for $77,000 more than the guide price at an auction held at the legendary Cavern Club. Another piece of Beatles history has been sold at auction, this time Paul McCartney's childhood home, the BBC reports. The modest Liverpool house where McCartney lived from the age of four until the age of 10 has been sold for $231,000, more than $77,000 more than its guide price as fans of the Fab Four bid up the value. Beatles guide Paul Beesley told the BBC: "This is an important house because it's where Paul spent his formative schoolboy years. "There's an interesting anecdote about the lady who moved into this house after the McCartneys left. She found a Rupert the Bear book in the loft, which was signed with 'this book belongs to Paul and [brother] Mike McCartney'." The sale took place at the legendary Cavern Club, where The Beatles played many of their early gigs. The winning bid came from an anonymous bidder based in Britain. McCartney's childhood home is just the latest Beatles-related real estate to get fans bidding. Last October, George Harrison's childhood home was sold to a Beatles fan for $250,000, while John Lennon's sold for a princely sum of $770,000 in 2013. Beatles memorabilia is incredibly popular and even the most unusual items associated with the band fetch high prices. Lennon's handwritten lyrics, artwork and even one of his teeth have all been sold at auction in recent years. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Abid Rahman firstname.lastname@example.com gentlemanabroad

OKLAHOMA CITY - A second sinkhole in the past few months has been reported on Oklahoma City's West River Trail.
"Guys communicate with each other. They usually ride in packs, two or three a piece," Dub Turner, a cyclist, told News 4.
Turner rides along West River Trail about two-three times a week.
"A lot of times, the dirt and stuff will wash off but, when you're on a bike, especially one of the 12,15 speed bikes, a little sand can thrown you pretty quick," Turner said.
They've also had to worry about sinkholes in recent months.
"We let each other know about it. So, we kind of keep an eye on it. But, if it starts getting farther out, then we'll call the city and let them know," Turner said.
That's exactly what city officials want residents to do, right away.
"We depend on our residents to be our eyes and ears out there. So, if they see sinkholes, if they see potholes, any problem, we need to know about it so we can address it," said Kristy Yager, a spokesperson for the city.
Back in July, a large sinkhole was reported near Lake Overholser. City officials said a busted drain pipe underneath the trail that feeds into the nearby river was to blame.
Now, crews are busy with the new sinkhole, as well.
"They're going to barricade that area, and they're going to start scoping that area to see what the cause might be and who's responsible for fixing it," Yager said.
Yager said the cause could be anything from a collapsed sanitary sewer line to erosion.
"We don't know at this point, but we're going to look into it and try to get it addressed," Yager said.
If you have a sinkhole or a pothole to report, call the city action center at 405-297-2535.

Behind the scenes at the Tang
Behind the Scenes at the Tang
Behind the Scenes at the Tang invites students of all interests to join us on a journey discovering the Tang Teaching Museum, Skidmore campus, and the Saratoga Springs community, all while exploring connections between art, ideas and ourselves.
During the program, you will get an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at the museum and how it functions as an interdisciplinary teaching museum for the campus and surrounding community. You will meet museum staff and explore the current exhibitions and permanent collection of more than 7,000 objects.
And you will create art! On your own and in groups, you will make pieces inspired by the things you have seen, the people you have met and the ideas you have explored. The art projects are designed and led every year by the group's peer advisors, Skidmore students who work and connect with the museum in various capacities, such as education, collection and exhibition assistants, Tang guides, interns and more. The projects take inspiration from the art on view at the Tang, use a range of arts and crafts materials and are open to all skill levels. The final pieces created in the program are displayed at Case Gallery, the student art gallery in Case Campus Center.
Participants do not need any prior art-making experience, just an openness to new experiences and a willingness to have fun!

The first leg of the Coppa Italia semi final between Lazio and Juventus takes place in Turin on Tuesday evening at 20.45 CET. The two teams occupy the top of the league together with Napoli and the Coppa Italia clash can indicate how the status between the teams is at the moment. The league game between the two ended in a goalless draw in Turin, a result that many Laziali are hoping will be repeated.
Juventus managed to beat Milan in overtime in their quarter final, where Conte fielded many reserves and there is no doubt that the domestic cup is where players are rested, if anywhere. Important pieces such as Pirlo, Vidal, Quagliarella, Vucinic and Marchisio are all set to miss the game no matter the selection of the coach, but with a bench as quality filled as Juve's there will be enough quality to cover for the absentees.
Lazio will also have to do without instrumental figures. Petkovic stated in an interview on Monday that he has yet to make up his mind about the starting XI and that only players who are 100% fit will make the roster. Klose, Konko and the most recent addition to the injured cases, Radu, are all in doubt of being selectable for the tactician.
Worth noting is that the game is the first of two legs, in a competition where all games but the semi final are decided over one game only. In previous years the finalists have been decided in April, but with both Juventus and Lazio still in European competitions and hoping to stay in their respective competitions as long as possible the Italian football federation decided to have both games played as early as possible. In effect this means that the second leg will be played on Tuesday next week.
Possible lineups will be inserted as reports emerge from today's trainings...

Just who were our ancestors
We both consider ourselves survivors of tedious history lessons at school. But luckily, our teachers didn't completely succeed in boring us to death with dates of wars, battles and coronations. We feel that history is one of the main keys to the understanding why today's world is the way it is and we kept reading and learning.
We knew next to nothing about our own ancestors but it was clear to both of us that they would not be among the rich and the famous. We are the descendants of Mr. and Mrs. Nobody of the past.
A little bit of research had already been carried out on Jacqueline's side. On David's side there was not much more than family tales and rumours.
It was David's father Les who got us started. We spent many evenings talking about his youth and his stories revealed to us bits of the vanished life in the East End of London with its own rules and laws. Les feared that we would not be able to find any useful traces but after three years we have quite a clear picture of the families, where they came from and how they ended up in this poor part of London.
It is sad that we can't share the results of our research with Les any more, since he died in 2001. But we are sure he would find it just as fascinating as we do.
We have improved our research skills and know a lot more about the different ways of registration in various European countries. We found people we share common ancestors and it is fascinating to learn how our past had a point in common and than life went on very different ways again.
There is still a lot to do, the task is very far from complete and we are still learning! The genealogy section was the main reason for us to start this website. We were able to benefit from other people's research work in the last three years and we are more than happy to share our own knowledge about our families in order to help other people to get further with their own research work.

By Andy Na / April 26th, 2013
From the team at Atlus that brought us many games in the Shin Megami Tensei and Trauma Center series, comes a new teaser for Shin Megami Tensei IV on Nintendo 3DS. Unlike all the previous trailers that have been aired, this one has spoken English, and is most definitely one from the localized version.
The voice sounds most likely to be from Jamieson Price, who has played characters in Atlus games before, such as Lupa from Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga, Frank Gaunt from Operation Darkness, and characters like Gawain Rothschild and Gabriel Celeste from Radiata Stories.
Now onto the trailer:
We see glimpses of images accompanied by narration that may imply how the gameplay works. The choices our protagonist makes do not only affect himself, they affect everything around him, and thus creates "a new world", or an environment representative of every outcome of the decision. This is something we have seen before by Atlus, such as in Catherine, the Persona series, and select moments from Trauma Center. There isn't much live gameplay footage other than running and traversing before striking an enemy to trigger a battle sequence.
Shin Megami Tensei IV will be the first game in the mainline Shin Megami Tensei series to incorporate full voice-acting. The previous installment in the series, Nocturne, had little to no voice-acting, save for minor attack grunts by characters, with cutscenes that only had animations accompanied by sound. The Shin Megami Tensei spin-off, Devil Survivor on the Nintendo DS, had fully spoken dialogue once ported over to 3DS, which its sequel Devil Survivor 2 Break Record will as well.
The game is slated to release in North America on July 16, 2013 with first-print editions featuring a Strategy and Design Book, Music Collection, and Collectible Slipcase Package that you can read about here. There is no solid PAL release date yet, but it's coming soon, and with the first-print editions.

Saint-Nazaire (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃.na.zɛʁ]; Breton: Sant-Nazer/Señ Neñseir; Gallo: Saint-Nazère/Saint-Nazaer), is a commune in the Loire-Atlantique department in western France.
The town has a major harbour, on the right bank of the Loire River estuary, near the Atlantic Ocean. The town is at the south of the second-largest swamp in France, called "la Brière". Given its location, Saint-Nazaire has a long tradition of fishing and shipbuilding.

Archaeologists believe that Saint-Nazaire is built upon the remnants of Corbilo, an Armorican Gaulish city populated by the Namnetes tribe, which (according to the Greek navigator Pytheas) was the second-largest Gaulish city, after Massilia (now Marseilles).[citation needed] Archeology suggests that the area has been inhabited since at least the Neolithic period, as evidenced by the presence of monuments like the tumulus of Dissignac and the dolmen located in the centre of the present-day city, and ancient bronzes found in the vicinity.
According to the 15th-century chronicler Alain Bouchart, Brutus of Troy, the mythical ancestor of the Bretons, travelled toward Saint-Nazaire to set foot upon the new homeland of his people.[citation needed] Historical accounts note that at the end of the Roman Empire, some Britons colonized the Loire estuary, and later, the peninsula containing Guérande. The furthest extent of the ancient Breton language in the Loire region is Donges, to the east of Saint-Nazaire.
Middle Ages
According to the late-6th-century writer Gregory of Tours, the Roman Church sheltered the remains of the martyr Nazarius in a local basilica. According to legend, the Breton chief Waroch II sent an emissary to seize the relics. The plot was foiled when the emissary fractured his skull upon the lintel of the church door. Waroch, interpreting this as a miracle, was deterred, and the village thenceforth took the name of Sanctus Nazarius de Sinuario.[citation needed]
After this point, the history of Saint-Nazaire, like much of Europe during the Dark Ages, is not well understood. Battles occurred, such as in 1380 when Jehan d'Ust defended the city in the name of John V, Duke of Brittany (known in France as Jean IV) against the Castilian fleet during the Hundred Years' War. After this time, Saint-Nazaire became the seat of a parish extending from Penhoët to Pornichet, part of the Viscountcy of Saint-Nazaire.
Like the whole of Brittany, Saint-Nazaire formed part of the Duchy of Brittany until 1532, when it was annexed by France. In 1624, the city was threatened by the Calvinists. In 1756, a fort was built on the order of the governor of Brittany to protect the town, which by then had 600 inhabitants.[citation needed] Until the French revolution, Saint-Nazaire belonged to the province of Brittany.
19th century industrialization
At the beginning of the 19th century, the port only consisted of one simple harbor. As the town was so far inland, its main economy was not based on commercial fishing, but its strategic location as the lowest possible navigation point for large ships, and the supply of pilots for navigation further up the Loire. In 1800, the parish of Saint-Nazaire had around 3216 inhabitants.
The modern Saint-Nazaire was created by the administration of Napoleon III, and came about from the various national and regional truces which had prevented its development up to that point. The population of 3216 in 1800 shows that battered history, with a mainly local (Brière), of Low-Brittany (of Morbihan in the Finistère-south), and minor representation from most other areas of France. From this point forward the population of Saint-Nazaire experienced an exponential growth, which was reflected in its nickname of "Little Breton California", or "Liverpool of the West".
In 1802, a roadway was built to develop the port, which extended by 1835, to a breakwater with a navigational lighthouse at its end. The development, included new basins for ships to unload to barges which carried goods further up the river. This development moved the town into the area of the city which is now called the district of "Little Morocco". This development made the town the base for the passenger steamships of the Nantes-Saint-Nazaire line, as well as making the town the alternate port for ships which could not access Nantes.
In 1856, the first wet dock basin was dug in the handle of "Halluard City", making it possible for ships to moor and turn. This brought about the construction of the town's first railway connection. In 1857, the Chemin de Fer de Paris à Orléans railroad company of Orléans connected Saint-Nazaire to Nantes. In 1862, the first transatlantic telegraph lines were installed from France towards South America, which came ashore at Saint-Nazaire. 1862 also saw the construction of major ship building facilities, including those of Chantier Scott, which launched of the first French constructed ships with metal hulls (the company went bankrupt in 1866). In 1868, Saint-Nazaire became a sub-prefecture in lieu of the town of Savenay. A second dock basin was created at Penhoët in 1881, to allow the servicing of larger ships, but a lock gate built to access it cut the town in two, thus creating Old Saint-Nazaire and an artificial island called "Little Morocco".
In early 1870, Nantes born Pierre Waldeck-Rousseau joined the bar in Saint-Nazaire. In September he became, in spite of his youth, secretary to the municipal commission temporarily appointed to carry on the town business. He organized the National Defense at Saint-Nazaire, and marched out with his contingent, though they saw no active service due to lack of ammunition (their private store having been commandeered by the state). In 1873, he moved to the bar of Rennes, following the establishment of the Third Republic in 1871.
On 30 March 1894, a strike occurred at the forging mills of Trignac in opposition to a reduction of the work force. What had seemed a small dispute escalated after a shooting in Fourmies, resulting in the town getting its national nickname of "Red City". Socialists flocked to the town in defense of the striking workers joining in the declaration of the "Fusillade de Fourmies".
In 1900, the commune of Pornichet was created by stripping off the larger commune of Saint-Nazaire.
First World War
During World War I, the city became an important unloading port of the allied troops, and particularly in the latter stages for the United States Army. When they entered the war in 1917, they developed the town and port infrastructure, by adding additional drinking water storage ponds for the town's water treatment plants, and a refrigeration terminal to the docks for shipment and storage of meat and dairy products to supply their troops.
However, the presence of legal brothels (Maisons Tolérée) resulted in a diplomatic incident. As a result of strict reformist public health concerns at home, the American Expeditionary Force placed the Maisons Tolérée off limits, resulting in a dispute between the towns brothel owners backed by the mayor, versus the US Army forces. With the dispute escalating, President Georges Clemenceau sent a memo to Gen. John Pershing offering a compromise: American medical authorities would control designated brothels operated solely for American soldiers. Pershing passed the proposal to Raymond Fosdick, who on giving it to Secretary of War Newton D. Baker promptly responded: "For God's sake, Raymond, don't show this to the president or he'll stop the war." Only after the signing of the Armistice in November 1918, when the US Army could no longer plead military necessity as grounds for curtailing leave, did venereal disease rates among US Army troops shoot up.[1]
Inter-war period
The post-war period brought about a period of economic depression for the ship builders, who consequently diversified into building seaplanes from 1922. In 1926 the district of Paimbœuf was suppressed and merged with the district of Saint-Nazaire, thus reinforcing the influence of the city on the south bank of the Loire River.
Although having built the SS Paris, between 1913 and 1921, and SS Ile de France between 1925 and 1926, as a result of the 1930s Great Depression the French government commissioned a series of state programs to aid national economic activity. The state owned shipping company Compagnie Générale Transatlantique commissioned the ship builders of Saint-Nazaire to construct a new large passenger ship, which as a result between 1928 and 1934 created the Albert Caquot engineered the Louis Joubert dry dock - at 3937 feet x 196.850 feet, the largest of its kind in the world at the time - necessary to be able to accommodate the construction of the SS Normandie. In 1932, the casino of Saint-Nazaire came bankrupt and was resold to the town of Nantes: the site was redeveloped from 1935 with the first part of the current Saint-Louis school.
As a result of the national general strike of June 1936, to ensure completion of the nationally prestigious project SS Normandie, the government nationalised the various private shipyards into one state owned entity, the 1861 founded Chantiers de l'Atlantique.
World War II
After the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany's Wehrmacht army at the start of World War II , the combined forces of the French Army and the British Expeditionary Force failed to hold the oncoming onslaught. As part of Operation Ariel, Saint-Nazaire like Dunkirk became an evacuation point for the British back to England, with those successfully embarking including the writer John Renshaw Starr.
On 17 June 1940 an estimated 9,000 British Army soldiers were embarked aboard the Clyde-built troopship RMS Lancastria, which was then attacked and sunk by German Junkers Ju 88 bombers, mainly from Kampfgeschwader 30, taking with her around 4,000 victims.[2] It is the worst disaster in British maritime history, and the worst loss of life for British forces in the whole of World War II. Winston Churchill banned all news coverage of the disaster on learning of it and it remained largely forgotten by history.
U-Boat pens
Following the surrender of France to German forces later in June 1940, the port immediately became a base of operations for the Kriegsmarine (German Navy) and was as such the target of Allied operations. A heavily fortified U-boat submarine base was built by Organisation Todt shortly after occupation, with its 9 m (30-ft) thick concrete ceiling, was capable of withstanding almost any bomb in use at the time.
The base provided a home during the war to many of the most well known U-Boat staff, including:
- Commander Georg-Wilhelm Schulz who transferred 6th U-boat Flotilla from Danzig to the port in February 1942, where it became a combat flotilla.
- Kapitänleutnant Carl Emmermann - took command of 6th U-boat Flotilla over from Schulz in November 1942, until it left Saint-Nazaire for Norway in August 1944
- Lieutenant Commander Herbert Schultze - second in commend of 7th U-boat Flotilla from September 1940
The base still stands today, as its extremely sturdy construction makes demolition uneconomical. The base is now used by cafes, a bar and on the roof is a exhibition about Saint-Nazaire.
St. Nazaire RaidMain article: St. Nazaire Raid
The huge Joubert drydock built for SS Normandie was the only port on the Atlantic capable of servicing the German battleships Bismarck and Tirpitz. This gave the port a strong strategic importance to both the Axis Powers and the Allies during the Second World War.
After Operation Rheinübung on 18–27 May 1941, in which the Bismarck and heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen were to have ended the operational raid at Saint-Nazaire, but which resulted in the sinking of HMS Hood and the sinking of the Bismarck; the need for the Allies to take the Joubert dry dock out of operation was increased.
On 28 March 1942, a force of 611 British Commandos and the Royal Navy launched the St. Nazaire Raid against the shipyards of Saint-Nazaire, codenamed Operation Chariot. An obsolete American-built destroyer HMS Campbeltown was used as a ram-ship loaded with explosives, and it and the commandos succeeded in destroying the gates and machinery of the Joubert drydock, prevented its further use by Nazi Germany during the war. The Joubert dry dock was not brought back into operation until 1948.
After Operation Chariot
The U-boat threat to supply convoys across the Atlantic made Saint-Nazaire a constant target of Allied air forces. In the face of determined Luftwaffe fighter opposition to the daylight raids by USAAF Eighth Air Force bombers. On 3 January 1943 Col. Curtis LeMay led 85 Boeing B-17 Flying Fortresses of the 1st Bombardment Wing against the U-Boat pens at Saint-Nazaire, on the Eighth Air Force's sixth raid against the facility. LeMay also introduced the combat box defensive formation, echeloning three-plane elements within a squadron, and squadrons within a group, to concentrate defensive firepower against fighter opposition. Only 76 aircraft found and hit the target, and during the mission seven bombers were shot down and 47 damaged.
The damaged aircraft included the seventh B-17 mission of Staff Sergeant Alan Magee, from which Luftwaffe fighters shot off a section of the right wing causing the aircraft to enter a deadly spin. Wounded ball turret gunner Magee leapt from the plane without a parachute, rapidly losing consciousness due to the altitude. Magee fell over four miles before crashing through the glass roof of the St. Nazaire railway station, which mitigated Magee's impact. Found alive on the floor of the station, Magee was taken prisoner of war and given medical treatment by his captors. He had 28 shrapnel wounds, several broken bones, severe damage to his nose and eye, and lung and kidney damage; and his right arm was nearly severed. Magee was liberated in May 1945 and received the Air Medal for meritorious conduct and the Purple Heart. He was later featured in the Smithsonian Magazine as one of the ten most remarkable survivals of World War II.
As a result of the raid, on 14 January 1943 under directive (S.46239/?? A.C.A.S. Ops), the Allies implemented incendiary bomb tactics against U-Boat pens, under the Area bombing directive. To minimize civilian casualties during air attacks, the Allies devised a plan to force evacuation of the town. For three days in 1943, British Royal Air Force and American aircraft dropped scores of leaflets warning the population of a planned fire-bombing raid. At the end of the third day, the raid came and burned the entire city to the ground. Casualties were light as most of the civilians had heeded the warning and fled to the safety of the countryside, but after that point except for the self-contained U-boat base, Saint-Nazaire remained abandoned until the end of the war.
After D-day and the liberation of most of France in 1944, German troops in Saint-Nazaire's submarine base refused to surrender, and they holed up (as did their counterparts in the La Rochelle and Lorient bases). Since the Germans could no longer conduct major submarine operations from the bases without a supply line, the SHAEF commander, U.S. General Dwight D. Eisenhower decided to simply bypass these ports, and the Allied armies focused their resources on the invasion of Germany. Saint-Nazaire and the other two German "pockets" remained under Nazi control until the last day of the war in Europe, 8 May 1945.
Post World War II
The town of St. Nazaire was rebuilt in the late 1940s in a minimalist functional style.
After the construction of the SS France in 1961, the last Compagnie Générale Transatlantique liner and the subsequent closure of the Suez Canal, Chantiers de l'Atlantique began building large oil tankers, including Batillus, Bellamya, Pierre Guillaumat and Prairial. A new dry dock (Basin C) was planned for the construction of tankers over 1,000,000 tonnes but this fell through with the re-opening of the Suez Canal. The RMS Queen Mary 2 was constructed at Chantiers de l'Atlantique in 2003.
The nursery schools and the elementary schools resident of Saint-Nazaire (Carnot, Jean-Jaurès, Lamartine, Jules Ferry, Ferdinand Bush, Boncourt, etc.) educate nearly 8,000 pupils divided in 30 school complexes.
The Junior schools have nearly 7,000 pupils divided in 12 colleges: public colleges Albert Vinçon; Pierre Norange; Manon Roland; Jean de Neyman; Jean Moulin, accommodate around 1350 pupils each. Private colleges include:
- Saint-Louis: 1 000 pupils, boarding school (historically a college of boys)
- Holy-Therese (historically a college of girls)
The high-schools educate 6,000 pupils divided into 11 colleges, with the technical Aristide Briand having some 3 500 pupils, one of the largest colleges of France [ref. necessary]; the experimental college, public lycée managed jointly by the teachers and the pupils; the private college of Saint-Louis mainstream education; the hotel private college Holy-Anne; the private of mainstream education and technological college Our-Lady-in Espérance. The Cité Scolaire of Saint-Nazaire is one of largest of France, with nearly 4 000 high-school pupils.
The university of Saint-Nazaire is a college of the University of Nantes, the second largest university in France with approximately 35 001 students, including nearly 5,000 on the university pole of Saint-Nazaire. The campus resident of Saint-Nazaire is composed of four university fields: Gavy, Océanis, Heinlex and the Cité Scolaire of Saint-Nazaire.
The Route nationale N165/N161 (E60 route), gives motorway access to Nantes and Rennes via the Pont de Saint-Nazaire, which crosses the Loire. Paris is then accessed via the a10/A11 (in Nantes). Valves, Lorient, Quimper and Brest are accessed via the N165.
A project to review a second crossing of the Loire between Nantes and Saint Nazaire is being considered to be constructed and operational by 2025.
RailwayMain article: Gare de Saint-Nazaire
Saint-Nazaire railway station is served by both the TGV and the regional trains and buses of the TER Pays de la Loire. TGV (high speed train) connection to Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Lille, and Strasbourg, with trains to Paris via the LGV Atlantique taking just over 2 hours. TER Pays de la Loire provides links to Nantes, Angers, Le Mans, La Roche sur Yon, and many other regional cities and towns.
Air travel
Saint-Nazaire airport is located 5 km south-east of Saint-Nazaire, on the commune of mounting block-of-Brittany. Its has an annual capacity for approximately 150 000 passengers, and is the operational and maintenance base for Eagle Aviation France.
International travel is accessed via Nantes Atlantique Airport, the biggest airport in western France, linking with several French and European cities, as well as Montreal in Canada and some northern Africa cities. It is currently planned that this airport will be supplemented by a new Aéroport du Grand Ouest, that will be situated 30 km to the north-west of Nantes in the commune of Notre-Dame-des-Landes. The €580 million project was approved in February 2008, with construction expected to start in 2012 and a opening date in 2015.[3]
The economy of the city is founded on the activity of the port: exportation of products manufactured, but also on the services, being given sizeable size of the city. Commercial fishing has almost completely disappeared, in spite of the subsistence of a small fleet of fisheries and fishing vessels.
Saint-Nazaire suffered heavily from the downsizing of shipbuilding activity in western Europe in the 1960s and '70s, during which again she completed the new national passenger liner SS France. For a long time in the 1980s, Saint-Nazaire remained an economically depressed area with unemployment rates above 20%. Today, the local economy is more diversified and its situation is more in line with that of France as a whole. The major industries are:
- Shipyard - having previously concentrated on both naval and cargo ship construction, Chantiers de l'Atlantique has completed a successful reconversion to cruise ship building and is now one of the world leaders in this sector. Purchased by Aker Yards, the Cunard Line's new flagship, RMS Queen Mary 2, was built in Saint-Nazaire.
- Airbus - Saint-Nazaire is one of the European centers of Airbus, responsible for the fitting out of fuselage sections. Originally a factory built for SNCASO, it is located at Penhoët, immediate north of the sites of Chantiers de l'Atlantique. An additional facility was built in Gron in 1980. For the Airbus A380, the Airbus Roll-on/roll-off (RORO) ship Ville de Bordeaux brings fuselage sections from Hamburg, Germany for larger, assembled sections, some of which include the nose. The ship then unloads these sections plus wings from Filton, Bristol and Broughton in North Wales at Bordeaux. From there, the A380 parts are transported by barge to Langon, Gironde, and by oversize road convoys to the assembly hall in Toulouse.[4] New wider roads, canal systems and barges were developed to deliver the A380 parts. After assembly, the aircraft are flown to Hamburg, XFW to be furnished and painted.
- Aeronautical engineering - Famat, a joint-venture company between Snecma and General Electric, has a factory in Saint-Nazaire. Employing approximately 450 people, Famat is specialized in the manufacture of structural elements for turbojets.
- Mechanical engineering - SEMT Pielstick manufacturer of diesel engines intended for the naval, railway applications and of electrical production. Now part of MAN B&W Diesel, the SEMT Pielstick factory employs in 2006, 670 people in Saint-Nazaire.
- Port - the first French port on the Atlantic facade. Now busier than its rival Nantes, it is managed within the interurban co-operation of the Port authority of Nantes-Saint-Nazaire. The port terminal handles high-volumes of food products, methane, Elf de Donges and many other industries.
Saint-Nazaire is one of the two seats of the Chamber of commerce and industry of Nantes and Saint-Nazaire which is that of Loire-Atlantique.

Chandigarh, Sep.4 (ANI): A parole application filed by former Haryana Director General of Police and a convict in the Ruchika molestation case, S.P.S Rathore, has been rejected by the Panchkula administration after finding the grounds stated for seeking parole as baseless.
Rathore had applied for 13-day parole. Claiming himself to be a farmer, he reportedly stated that his crop was ready and he was required in Panchkula.
Rathore is presently lodged in Burial Jail in Chandigarh.
Ruchika, a budding tennis player, had committed suicide three years after being molested by Rathore on August 12, 1990.
Panchkula Deputy Commissioner (DC) Ashima Brar in a letter sent to Burial Jail administration, Chandigarh, stated that the grounds on which Rathore had sought parole were baseless and thus no parole should be granted to him.
Rathore is undergoing his 18-month prison term, which was awarded to him for molesting 14-year-old Ruchika Girhotra 20 years ago.
On Aug. 12, 1990, the then Haryana Inspector General of Police (IGP) S.P.S. Rathore, also the Haryana Lawn Tennis Association president, had molested 14-year-old budding tennis player Ruchika Girhotra in his office room. (ANI)

The daytime in Big Apple is getting warmer. Perfect time for ice creams and fruit shakes! My niece Rachael was here during her session break. She wanted to spend time with Aaliyah and get some cooking lessons. It was Saturday evening, all four of us, Liz, Rachael, Aaliyah and I were watching old episodes of 'Friends'; our all-time favorite. This time I noticed something different in Rachael. Every time her phone beeped or the lights flashed, Rachael got impatient. All her attention was on her phone's notifications.
Clicking pictures for Snapchat stories, doing Boomerangs, posting on Instagram and Facebook and shooting live videos kept her occupied all day. She was distracted. It also affected her assignments. Liz was pretty much upset with this scenario. "Bob, can you please help my daughter out? Poor girl is so engrossed in it," she said.
I too felt she needed to come out of this. Next day, the cool breeze had made the evening pleasant. I took her out for a walk and broached the topic. "Ever since you've been here I have seen you staying busy with social networking sites. What is so interesting there, Rachael?" I asked.
She gave me a surprised look. "It's important! I don't want to feel left out and get tagged as one of the boring ones," she answered. She further explained how crucial it was for her to showcase her style and be on loop with the new trends and hashtags.
So it was the 'Fear of Missing Out'; 'FOMO' which was creating a pressure on her. This fear has occupied a gargantuan space in our minds. Rachael was not the only one, many of my friends too are facing the same issue.
Why are we so addicted to social media? What is so tempting? Is it validation which comes in the form of positive reactions and comments? Or is it that we miss having real time friends? Somewhere we are getting so consumed by it that we end up not reasoning out. We fail to stay and act wise.
"Don't let the virtual world rule your life, Rachael. Constant whim of the next notification on your phone is taking away your focus from the current environment. Life is about having real memories with people and experience and not staying restricted to this single device," I expressed. There was silence for some time. Then she uttered, "You're right Uncle Bob! My life cannot revolve around social media anymore."
When we returned, she kept her phone aside for minimal use. She spent her time with all of us and prioritized her assignments too. I was glad that she could perceive the reality. A positive change for the good!
Be wise in using every tool. There is no denial that our life has become much easier with the internet explosion. We are blessed with worldwide connectivity, better awareness and real time news across the globe. Keeping aside all these, we should know when and where to draw the line. Don't let it reign your life. Our wisdom and self-control should always prevail. Not surrendering to any peer pressure, let us enjoy the boon of social media responsibly!
