Rockers Tool Gibson

Gibson guitar, along with Fender is a definitive feature of rock.

It come as no surprise that Gibson citizens are angry that the factory was raided by federal marshals in 2011.

An angry Gibson Guitar CEO Henry Juszkiewicz "We had a raid," he said. They came in, evacuated our factory, shut down production, sent our employees home and confiscated wood. Our business has been injured to millions of dollars. "



The agents were enforcing the Lacey Act, a century-old endangered species law that was signed into law in 1900 amended in 2008, to include plants as well as animals.

The charges against Gibson constitute a felony, and if proven, the company could face fines and the executives involved could face jail terms.

The US Justice Department and the Fish and Wildlife Service have assured that musicians who unknowingly possess instruments made from illegal wood would not be treated as criminals.

Brushing your teeth immediately after consuming acidic foods and drinks increases the chance of enamel erosion.



Therefore, to help prevent dental erosion, it is recommended you avoid brushing for at least 60 minutes after eating or drinking acidic foods or drinks.

Christmas Island

Christmas Island became an Australian territory in 1958.

In 1957 the Australian government acquired Christmas Island from Singapore for a price of £2.9 million.

Christmas Island was originally annexed by Great Britain in 1888. It was transferred to Australia by the British Government – Singapore had not achieved independence in 1958.



The first contingent of 200 Chinese labourers were imported for phosphate mining, mainly from Malaya and Singapore.

The population comprises 60% Chinese, 25% Malay, 15% European and others. Most are Australian citizens. Total population 1500.

Christmas Island is near to the equator giving it an advantage over other locations as a site for a commercial space launch facility. The first launch took place in 2003 for the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA)
