Cheddite
Cheddite is a class of explosive materials that were originally manufactured in the town of Chedde in Haute-Savoie, France in the early twentieth century. Closely related to Sprengel explosives, cheddites consisted of a high proportion of inorganic chlorates mixed with nitroaromatics (e.g. nitrobenzene or dinitrotoluene) plus a little paraffin or castor oil as a moderant for the chlorate. Several different types were made, and they were principally used in quarrying. Due to availability of ingredients and easy production process it was also the most common explosive material manufactured by the Polish Underground State in occupied Poland during World War II; it was used for production of the R wz. 42 and Filipinka hand grenades.
Since the 1970s, Cheddite is the commercial name for an explosive compound used as an explosive primer for shotgun cartridges. It contains 90% potassium chlorate, 7% paraffin, 3% petroleum jelly, and traces of carbon black.

Why Do Lovers Break Each Others Hearts
by: ShowaddywaddyWhy do lovers break each others hearts?
Oh, tell me why do lovers have to drift apart,
When we met the world was right,
Now I'm crying every night,
Why do lovers break each others hearts?
Why do lovers break each others hearts?
Oh, tell me why can't lovers finish what they start,
A year ago we were one,
Now just look at what we've done,
Why do lovers break each others hearts?
Help me, help me, I don't understand,
Why we always hurt the ones we love.
Tell me, tell me where's the life we planned,
Where are the dreams ,
That we dream we're dreaming oh-oh-oh-of?
Why do lovers break each others hearts?
Oh, tell me why do lovers have to drift apart,
When we met the world was right,
Now I'm crying every night,
Why do lovers break each others hearts? (Instrumental)
When we met the world was right,
Now I'm crying every night,
Why do lovers break each others hearts,
Why do lovers break each others hearts?
