Dots, or Mason Dots (trademarked DOTS), are a brand of gum drops marketed by Tootsie Roll Industries, which claims that "since its 1945 launch," the candy has become "America's...#1 selling gumdrop brand." According to advertisements, more than four billion dots are produced from the Tootsie Roll Industries Chicago plant each year.
According to PETA, Dots are vegan, and according to the Tootsie Roll Industries website, they are gluten-free, nut-free, peanut-free, and kosher (officially certified kosher by the Orthodox Union as of December 1, 2009).
Dots were introduced in 1945 by Mason and trademarked that year. In 1972, Tootsie Roll Industries acquired the Dots brand by purchasing the Mason Division of Candy Corporation of America. Prior to that acquisition they were manufactured by Mason, AU and Magenheimer Confectionery Manufacturing Company of Brooklyn and later Mineola, New York.
Crows are the oldest candy in the Dots family, first created in the late 19th century. Original dots date back to 1945, Tropical Dots to 2003, and Yogurt Dots to 2007. Sour Dots were introduced in 2009-2010.
Dots (Czech: Židi, Polish: Kropki, Russian: Точки) is an abstract strategy game, generally played by two (or more) people on a sheet of squared paper. At first glance, the rules of this game can seem similar to those of Go. But there are some major differences, resulting in two completely different games. Instead of territory control, as in Go, the primary target of dots is capturing enemy dots by surrounding them with a continuous line of one's own dots. Once surrounded, dots are not playable.
The game is played on a grid of unspecified finite dimensions. (The most commonly used graph paper has dimensions of about 60 × 40.) Players take turns making dots of their own colour. At each turn, a player must make a dot at an intersection of the grid. This dot has to be free, therefore it must not be on another dot and can not be part of a territory. You can also enclose a whole closed territory for yourself. You can make a territory of any size by making dots in a circuit that can be connected by straight or diagonal lines, one space in length. If there are no obstructions in the circuit (e.g. lines, opponents' dots) then a line can be drawn connecting the dots in your color and the space inside is your territory. A line can not be drawn until the dots are able to complete a circuit. Before the line is drawn, you can intersect their line diagonally and claim territory before the opponent can.
Everest is a 70mm American documentary film, from MacGillivray Freeman Films, about the struggles involved in climbing Mount Everest, the highest mountain peak on Earth, located in the Himalayan region of Nepal. It was released to IMAX theaters in March 1998 and became the highest-grossing film made in the IMAX format.
The 45-minute documentary is narrated by Irish actor Liam Neeson and was filmed entirely in IMAX. It includes a vivid description of the training required in order to climb the 29,028 feet to the summit of Mount Everest and the challenges faced during the ascent, such as avalanches, blizzards, and oxygen deprivation. The film centers on a team led by Ed Viesturs and Everest director David Breashears; among their number are a Spanish female climber, named Araceli Segarra, and Jamling Tenzing Norgay, son of the pioneering Sherpa mountaineer Tenzing Norgay.
Everest was in production at the mountain during the 1996 Mount Everest disaster, in which another group of mountain climbers became trapped by a blizzard near the summit. The film includes footage of these events, as the IMAX team assist Beck Weathers and other survivors. Producer and co-director Greg MacGillivray later said that while editing the documentary for release, he and Breashears decided to focus more on the tragedy, due to the popularity of Jon Krakauer's book about the 1996 disaster, Into Thin Air (1997). MacGillivray reasoned: "Ten million people have read that book, so we had to address the issue. And I think it strengthened the film."
Everest cigarette is a cigarette brand, manufactured, distributed and market by the Zimbabwe arm of British American Tobacco company. Everest cigarette is also produced in Belgium, the Netherlands and South Africa. During the recording of Abbey Road, a 1969 album by Beatles, audio engineer Geoff Emerick used to smoke Everest's. The band liked the visual imagery of the packet and chose Everest as a working title for the album.
Mount Everest is the name of the world's highest mountain peak.
