    SMOKING
    January 11, 1964 - Surgeon General, U.S.A.

    The U.S. Surgeon General Luther Terry, announced the results of a study on the health effects of smoking, ordered by President Kennedy in 1962. As America's first widely publicized official recognition of the dangers, it stated “Cigarette smoking is a health hazard of sufficient importance in the United States to warrant appropriate remedial action.” The report reviewed over 7,000 articles in medical journals, and concluded that cigarette smoking was a cause of lung and larynx cancer and chronic bronchitis. Male cigarette smokers were 1,000 times more likely to die from lung cancer than non-smokers. In 1965, the U.S. Congress required to print health warnings on cigarette packages.

    STAINLESS STEEL
    January 11, 1820 - Steel industry

    As the steel industry was making huge technological advances, chemists tried to create a rustproof, or stainless steel. A French metallurgist observed that when carbon steel was combined with an alloy like chrome, it did yield a rust-resistant metal. A century would pass before two British scientists continued his work and, in 1913, Europe was introduced to stainless steel. Its smooth, hard surface doesn't trap dirt, bacteria or molds - and today, stainless steel is used in everything from silverware and jewelry to spacecraft.

All roads lead to Rome, and it's easy to see why. No history book would be complete without a chapter on Rome. It is a city so thoroughly soaked in culture and history you cannot walk more than ten meters and not run into sights you frequently see in textbooks and documentaries.

Vacation Rental: The Concept

In recent years, the practice known as vacation rental has gained popularity. Fully furnished flats or houses are temporarily leased to tourists. The arrangement is more long-term than a hotel stay because while hotels charge guests on a daily basis, rental flats, Rome-based ones most specifically, had a fixed price during an entire holiday period. Sometimes, landlords impose a limitation on the maximum number of guests allowed.

Why Choose Rental Flats?

The rental flats Rome proffers to visitors provide a practical means for saving money. Rental flats can be very cheap, particularly when you are traveling with your family or in a group. The more people who will split the bill afterwards, the higher the savings are. In some cases, you can save as much as 60% on accommodation expenses.

There's another advantage to staying in a rented apartment. Through rental flats, Rome and its culture can pervade the ordinary tourist's life. What better way to get to know a city and its people if not from the inside of a Roman home?

Additionally, most rental flats are located close to the magnificent structures the city is famous for. You can thereby explore the city at your leisure, and discover its charms at your own pace and in your own time.

Getting that Roman Holiday

If you plan to visit Rome, talk to your travel agent. Solicit his advice. It's highly likely he will offer you a pre-planned package option along with his advice. Be warned, though, that holiday travel packages are not always the most reasonably priced options in the market. To save money, you could plan your trip yourself. Many online sites, such as http://www.Holiday4You.com to provide you with the information you need to plan your vacations efficiently and effectively.

It is very easy to fall in love with a city as beautiful and historically significant as Rome. In fact, when the great German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe visited Rome for the first time, he enthused, "In Rome, I have found myself for the first time. I now realize all the dreams of my youth."

Goethe fell in love with the city. If we give the city half a chance, so would we.
