Retail/FMCG - Podravka d.d.
Creativity, freedom of thinking, courage and emotions are the main determinants of the new communications direction that brings Vegeta closer to the new generations.

A simple goal that required lots of hard work including prototyping, design, programming, copy writing and much much more.

Send request module is implemented to create a streamlined workflow of agency sales and appealing front end will allow the user to have an easy time of choosing the right accommodation for his vacation.
Entertainment - MTV Adria d.o.o.
Regional MTV in fresh colors
We wanted to make a fresh, young and fun redesigned website for the regional MTV. Our target was clear, the Millennials – a generation that mostly browses web content using smartphones and tablets, so our task was to make the new MTV responsive and appealing for such a specific target group.
If you enjoy music, pop culture and concerts – the new and improved MTV is first place you should visit! :)
Tourism - Hrvatska Turistička Zajednica
We are proud to present a small but very important landing page for Croatian tourist board.
The case was simple; due to an unprecedented amount of stakeholders, the website (Summer is here) has remained more or less the same for the last 5-6 years. This would not be a problem if more and more visitors were not coming from mobile phones, tablets and other new age devices that require a fresh responsive approach.
As the summer is here and growing number of tourist are visiting the website to discover more about our country, it's beauties and opportunities, it became critical to present a responsive cross country (and cross target) optimised page that can inspire and drive interest around the globe for what is surely one of more beautiful coastlines in the world.
To put a new face on Croatia.hr we delivered full responsive mini site, with responsive typography, responsive images, responsive loading, responsive cloud infrastructure optimized for high load and more.
The result is a light, immersive experience for one true home of Summer – Croatia.
Tourism - Hoteli Baška
Baška is a picturesque town in Kvarner (Croatia) with world famous stretch of beach where Hotels, Villas and Camps of Hoteli Baška are situated.
Our task was to implement VUDU CMS framework with additional sales & content moduls in order to fully optimize the workload and administration of Multilanguage /multioffer website and the numerous requests it generates. Responsive layout ensures that users have an optimised experience on each device and screen size, which resulted in a one month ROI generated by mobile direct bookings alone. The optimisation continues by tweaking booking & request funnels in order to fully maximize all visits. This effort is becoming increasingly important as visitor procurement is getting more costly (CPC,CPM) due to strong competition and the global growth of the Tourism industry.
Financial - Državni ured za reviziju
Office is focused on auditing financial statements and improving the legality and efficiency of entities managing public property and other legal entities defined by law.
State Audit contributes to improving management of public property and other available resources, informedness of the Croatian Parliament, the Government and citizens of the Republic of Croatia with respect to the manner and results of management of the budgetary, extra-budgetary and other funds given to the audited parties for management and disposal.
We have been asigned to make informative, responsive website for them.
Entertainment - LMO
_lmo is a small but growing agency based in Zagreb specialized for full photography services.
The agency works with the most talented creative minds in the Country and they cover almost everything - from location scouting and casting to retouching. The idea behind the website was to present their stunning portfolio and wide specter of their services in a fresh and stylish way. We've accomplished this using Angular for those smooth transitions adapted for all device platforms.
Entertainment - Dubrovački dnevnik
First info from the client was - we want VUDU CMS because we heard that it can save time and it can stereamline all of our editorial efforts
The redesigned solution had more goals then just easy and fast content administration. We created enough advertising real estate that doesn't interfere with scanning the content and enjoying the portal. The result was that the portal went from top 50 to top 10 portals in the country in the first year of exploatation.
Tourism - Istraturist Umag d.d.
Corporate website with smart organization and management of tenders.
Istraturist is a brand that profiled Umag as top 5 tourist destinations in Croatia trough their Hotel and apartment offer. In order to offer transparent and easy access of their tenders to partners we developed a solution that manages all tenders trough online. User can subscribe to tenders that are organized by main industry segments and each time Istraturist launches a tender, partner will recieve a notification via e-mail with a direct possibility to get and download all information.
Entertainment - Dani Komunikacija
Festival Days of Communication is the central gathering point for local marketing professionals and communicators in the field of traditional and digital advertising
Their main goal is to continue to educate, inspire, reward creativity and efficiency, connect marketing professionals in one place and persist in raising awareness of the importance of marketing communication processes in a changing market environment.
For Days of Communication we developed a responsive website focusing on readability and accessibility, making sure viewers can always check schedule and details about speakers, as well as where the best party in Rovinj is.
Entertainment - Hattrick Sports Group
Corporate web solution that presents the Hattrick Sports Group expertise in Sports Gaming to potential partners and investors.
Hattrick SG is regional leader in Sports gaming and offers Hi Tech solutions for Web & Mobile sports gaming as well as more traditional outlets like terminals and retail shops. Obvious challenges were how to present a technology service without enough HI quality visual assets like photos & videos. That was achieved with combination of video presentation that was tweaked for web as well as creating a visual iconography and design that clearly communicates the Hattrick SG fields of expertise.
Retail/FMCG - UNICEF
UNICEF survey, conducted in 2014 showed that one third of children of primary school age did not heard of children's rights.
Encouraged by the results of research, UNICEF has decided to increase the level of awareness of children about their rights in a fun and educational way, the best opportunity for this was the 68th birthday of UNICEF and the 25th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The website UNICEF released the first version of computer game for children of primary school age entitled Čovječe, ispravi se. Primary target group are children aged from 6 to 14 years.
We decided to use SVG in combination with Javascritp which we derived the logic and animation of game. Game data is AJAX fetched from a server that is storing questions and answers. Special adjustment required all the information received visually. Special attention was paid to the availability of content to all users, including the blind and visually impaired users and users with motor impairments. We did that using ARIA attribute.
Game has been played 2,500 times, of which 1,698 girls and 802 boys. Although the budget for advertising game was 0, with the help of the ambassadors and assistant of UNICEF, the game has made significant results. Game certainly become part of the training materials intended for schools and libraries.
Kursalon Wien is one of most exclusive buildings of Vienna that holds classical concerts and of course you can buy your concert ticket online.
Our goal was to create a solution that would evoke the look&feel of events that take part in the venue (Concerts, Weddings, Dinner galas, etc...) The VUDU e-commerce was fully customized for administration of online ticket sales to enable the client wanted control. If you ever find yourself in Vienna indulge yourself of one day and buy an online ticket for Mozart&Strauss concert with dinner in the beautiful Kursalon Wien.
Tourism - Kabal tours d.o.o.
The island of Hvar, we believe, needs no special presentation – beauty, sun, tourism heritage like well aged wine and then some more sun.
Our client presented us exquisite collection of accommodation purls vibrant with traditional Mediterranean taste, yet luxurious for your unforgettable vacation pleasure. We accomplished this unique feeling on Villas Hvar web site by releasing it of redundant contents usually encountered on touristic sites. Those tend to strip off the true meaning viewer should experience – the "wish you were here" moment. To emphasize this even more, we focused on visual richness of the site regardless of viewers device in hands since it is made in responsive technology powered by our VUDU platform to ensure the flawless backend flow. The result: beautiful, colorful and inviting web site – almost like Villas and the island of Hvar themselves. :)
Retail/FMCG - Podravka d.d.
What connects regional premium food & beverages brand, web and kids? The Web app 'Zabava u tvom tanjuru' ('The party in your plate').
Following the premise 'fun, educative and easy to play ', we created a game which promoted a new brand flavors: special soups and pastas for kids. User experience was highly determined by beautiful animation, 'light' challenge (hunting the 'Podravka hearts' ) and superior awards. That great deal had also great results:, building stronger brand awareness, loyalty and online exposure with more than 11 000 unique players in only one month.
Retail/FMCG - Frikom d.o.o.
To begin with, Frikom is one of the leaders in ice cream and frozen food production in the region dating its origins back to 1970.
If it sounds somewhat familiar – no worries, we are not stealing our own copywriting – it should sound familiar from our earlier Ledo project. Ledo and Frikom are both member companies of one major concern producing basically the same products with regional touch. The challenge was to make web site for Frikom that would communicate common corporate vision as Ledo project but at the same time be regionally flexible and adjustable. We followed the same logic considering the span of product and user segments, but at the same time enabled regional focus with presentational aspects of the web site. Frikom inherited our VUDU framework from Ledo project as the logical foundation for making this "hardcode-flexibility" combination possible. We consider both sites combined twice as chilly. :)
Entertainment - Bunker d.o.o.
It is no secret - we are used to dealing with more or less challenging projects.
With Bunker, the crucial question was: How to transform basic and limited WordPress platform to very polished and authentic website? Our client is one of the most recognizable film, TV commercial and production, post-production service companies in the region and their work speaks for itself. We were determined in our smart 'keep it simple' approach: less words, more visuals. Following those two main criteria, we accomplished unique, usable and beautiful composition.
Entertainment - Nanobit d.o.o.
Croatia is full of smart young people and success stories, and Nanobit is just one of them.
For our countrymen and fellow developers (of mobile games specifically), we developed a website that will represent the company in (many) years to come.
Retail/FMCG - etexfrance
From day zero, here at Nivas we keep a high standard of accessibility for all of our solutions.
When etex approached us to develop a website focused on the visually impaired, we were happy to put our skills to the test and develop a truly accessible solution. The result is a solution targeting caretakers and visually impaired, providing an ease of use for all.
Tourism - Hoteli Pag d.o.o.
If you like sandy beaches, then you might consider visiting Croatia's island of Pag (also known for its Night life).
For Camping Simuni, the Islands biggest camping resort, we developed a conversion focused website along with complete SEO and analytics. The resulting solution continues to perform and deliver growing metrics for time on site, unique visits and ultimately number of bookings from the online channel.
Entertainment - Nova TV d.d.
Provjereno (eng. Verified) is a popular TV format in production of NOVA TV.
The highly engaging show publishes reports and research about the hottest social issues at any time. It has accumulated a big community of loyal viewers often looking for more information or a chance to get heard.

Mondo is the new and upcoming brand on the Croatian ecommerce scene.
A project by Styria AG, the shop aims to become the Croatia's biggest and best ecommerce brand, with products ranging from high street fashion to books and digital downloads.

The result is a cooperation of 4 companies united in delivering a premium online shopping experience. The future is bright for Mondo and we look forward to being there every step of the way (stay tuned for an in-depth look in the process and results in our upcoming case study).
Retail/FMCG - Jamnica
For Jana, one of Croatia's most recognisable brands, we developed a storytelling parallax website targeting global markets.
The idea was to connect with the user's trough a simple story that can delight and entertain the visitors. The feel and the experiance we wanted to convey was what Jana is all about - a natural treasure made to refresh.
The result – a custom scripted parallax full of rich visuals optimised for all platforms but focused on desktop, as this is where we wanted to reach the users.
As we continue to develop Jana's digital presence, stay tuned for more updates :)
Retail/FMCG - Ledo d.d.
Ledo is Croatia's market leader in the frozen food segment, most recognized for its ice cream production that has been with us since 1958.
For Ledo we developed a brand new corporate online presence covering all the segments from frozen food's to colourful ice creams, targeting consumers, business partners and hospitality segment. With several methods of browsing and searching through the large product base, it is now easier than ever to find a perfect ingredient for your meals or perfect flavour for a hot summer day. Our work included conceptualizing, structuring and optimising Ledo's large product base to deliver the best user experience, with rich and colourful design driven by our VUDU framework.
Telecomunication - bonbon corporate website
bonbon is Croatian prepaid cellular network aimed at young people and customers who live a dynamic live, offering high quality services at low prices.
After in depth analysis of user behaviour patterns, business processes, customer self care needs and brand positioning, we balanced out uplifting and corporate content, dose of happines, user experience and advanced features and come up with a bonbon 2012 redesign, a solution that should help measure, optimize and increase both customer satisfaction and brand value as well as online sales.

Entertainment - 24sata digital d.o.o.
We have redesigned one of the most popular news portals in Croatia.
It was a tough job since we faced a website that had millions of monthly visitiors that were used to the current design, as well as the site design that won numerous awards already. Changing an award winning website with constant stream of steady users didn't stop us. As soon as it was launched, the new 24sata started winning new awards and recognitions.
Retail/FMCG - Kolektiva Web d.o.o.
Kolektiva.hr is an social e-commerce project, designed to offer its users large discounts on local businesses.
The site crowdsources users to businesses, getting them larger groups of new clients and rewarding them with premium discounts. It's a win-win concept that will hopefully push forward online shopping in Croatia and region. (update: It did! :) )

I know there are some singles off Band On The Run and McCartney II, but they have already been officially released on the reissues, so I didn't bother with them. I also didn't bother with the Complete works of Off The Ground either, hopefully Paul releases a two disc set for that here in the states. For "Vanilla Sky" I know a live version appears on Back In The US, but he should also release the studio version. For the two bonus tracks for KOTB I just added those simply because I just downloaded those two off iTunes and ill probably just throw them on this collection for shits and giggles.

The sourdough wasn't as dominating as I wanted it to, but I guess that this was due to the cold fermentation? Anybody have experience with this?
Nice job Kermit. Really nice.I'm guessing your fridge is around 40 degrees F, give or take? 21 hours at those temps isn't enough time to achieve what you're looking for. 48 to 72 hours at minimum might be more ideal. 21 hours is closer to a room temperature ferment type of deal.
Awesome! What were your bake times? Was your pizza family thrilled by the pizza you made? What type of pizzeria is the one they currently own?
Caputo 00 Chef's flour is around 12.5% or more protein. Seems to work great for pizza.
Hi Guys,As it happens I just spent today at a Caputo flour demonstration day here in the UK.They have a range of different flours with various characteristics and descriptions according to their literature.

We assume the NSA is watching
When does it stop? Nearly every week we read another story about the continued infringement of privacy being perpetrated upon the American people by the National Security Agency.
The latest: The NSA has been collecting and sifting through millions of contact lists from personal email and instant messaging accounts around the world, including accounts of Americans. Officials confirmed this week that the agency grabs hundreds of thousands of email address books every day from private accounts, and collects thousands of buddy lists from live chats, too.
The Washington?Post reported this week that during a typical day in 2012, the NSA collected 440,000 email address books. At that rate, the agency would grab more than 250 million address books in a year's time.
A spokesman for the NSA said the agency is looking for intelligence on valid terrorism threats or criminal activity, and is not interested in the personal information of ordinary citizens. Does anyone believe that? And does anyone believe that if the NSA admits it's collecting 440,000 address books a day, that's all it's collecting on a daily basis? Officials say the work would be illegal if done within the United States, but the agency avoids restrictions by intercepting information from access points around the world.
We'd love to say we're surprised or even shocked, but we're not. Big Brother is out there, and he is watching. Just to be safe, we'll assume he's reading every email and every other message sent by electronic means of communication. And we're probably right in doing so.

thank you for visiting plat du jour.
after 2 years research and 6 months recording, it
is finished.
i'm not really sure what i have created, but i do know
that i haven't thought more about anything in my life.
every sound, note and object on this record has a reason
for being there. if it sounds naive, it's supposed
to. if the track lasts a certain length, it's designed
that way. it doesn't make the record any good necessarily,
but it does make it impossible for this music to float
off to that place music so casually occupies these
days: the disposable. the ambition is to try and take
steps further and further backwards from the celebrity
and idolatry of the artist and move the listener closer
and closer to the stories the work contains. certainly
the record is the work of a lot of people. even simply
the 3255 people eating an apple. without any one of
them, this record would have sounded different.
despite my best efforts, there had to come a point
where i stopped trying to document every problem with
the current food chain and get on with making records
about other things. there's so much i wanted to include
on the site here, but it's probably better to let you
figure some of the stuff out on your own. certainly
since i started this project in 2003, there has been
a massive increase in national stories about food here
in the uk. people are aware that obesity is an economic
threat as well as a personal health issue, school dinners
have been shown to be a disgrace, the atkins diet has
all but ended. the food industry however is still peddling
the bullshit line that 'there's no such thing as bad
food' and starbucks keeps opening branches. clearly,
there's still a long way to go.
it has been an amazing learning experience playing
this project live but the amount of work behind the
scenes to make each show happen has been quite exhausting.
unless we get a very interesting opportunity, it
will be retired for 2006.
many thanks to all the people that sent me recordings
of themselves popping gum. someone accidentally packed
them away in storage for a year. when i get them back,
i'll finish the track and put it up for free on the
site here.
we are experimenting too with a downloadable version
of the album from this site. to begin with we will
only be able to accept paypal. you will also only
be able to download the whole album, not individual
but the price will be £5.
for more information about the incredible artwork done
for this project out of food dyes, please visit www.slowlydownward.com for the art of stanley donwood.
one of the conclusions i have reached by doing this
record is how something fairly radical had to change
in my own life. it was going to be difficult to criticise
apples being flown from new zealand to england all
year round if i was then taking flights myself every
weekend. i have therefore decided to stop flying on
environmental grounds. since i have family in america,
i will allow myself one flight a year. for everything
else though, i will be travelling by bus, boat and
train. when it comes to touring i will be away for
4 months of the year and then spend the remaining 8,
working on music. after flying at least once a week
for 10 years, i will also be delighted to leave the
pitifully uninspired vision of the world presented
to us by airllines and airports: a constant barrage
of adverts for swiss watches, luxury resorts, executive
golf magazines and cosmetics. it will also mean longer
visits to each country and an opportunity to understand
more of the local cultures we visit and to appreciate
the lost art of travel. a part of the rising slow movement.
it would be nice to consider a slow music movement,
but i'm not sure how that would work exactly. if you've
any ideas or suggestions, or you're from a large food
corporation and you'd like to lecture me about the
benefits to us all to have very shiny strawberrys 365
days of the year, you can email us here: firstname.lastname@example.com
until then, come in and have a look around. or visit
www.magicandaccident.com the home of accidental records,
the label it is on.
until the next time, thanks for listening.

Mr. Speaker, December 7 of this year will mark 20 years since Indonesia illegally invaded East Timor and began a campaign of genocide and human rights violations. This November 12 will be the fourth anniversary of the Dili massacre.
Over the past two months repression has intensified as Indonesia tries to suppress protest in advance of these anniversaries and before the upcoming visit of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. Several hundred people have been arrested and it is feared they are being tortured. Others have been killed.
Given all of this, it is totally inappropriate for the Minister for International Trade to be planning a trade visit to Indonesia for November 11 on his way to the APEC summit in Japan.
This trip by the Minister for International Trade on the very eve of the Dili massacre anniversary demonstrates once again the complete moral bankruptcy of Canada's foreign policy.
I urge members of the House to support the New Democratic Party's proposal to end Canadian aid and arms sales to the Government of Indonesia and I urge the minister to reconsider his visit.
First Nations

November 6th, 1995 / 2:05 p.m.
Raymond Bonin Nickel Belt, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to ask my colleagues to join with me in congratulating these aboriginal Canadian communities: the James Bay Cree, the Walpole Island First Nations and the Sanikiluak Inuit community.
Recently these three communities were honoured by the United Nations for their achievements in overcoming great hardships to improve the quality of life of the members of their communities.
As recipients of the United Nations award "We the Peoples" our three aboriginal communities were held up as models to others facing hardships. The award serves as a testimony to the ability of
communities to come together under a common banner to promote positive change in the harshest of circumstances.
I thank the peoples of the James Bay Cree, the Walpole Island First Nations and the Sanikiluak Inuit community for reinforcing our hope and resolve in bettering the lives of aboriginal Canadians from coast to coast.
The Late Yitzhak Rabin

Sarkis Assadourian Don Valley North, ON
Mr. Speaker, one who kills in the name of morality kills nothing except one's own morality.
The world has suffered the loss of a great peacemaker. Mindless violence has claimed a leader whose foresight and courage led his nation from the twisted path of endless conflict and pointed it toward the road to peace.
I was honoured to nominate Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin for the Nobel Peace Prize in January 1994 and overjoyed when he was awarded that honour in December 1994.
Yitzhak Rabin was a soldier who fought for his country and yet he grew to realize that the only solution was to become a soldier for peace. He survived conflict as a soldier but died as a soldier of peace.
When I met him last year in Canada he promised he would continue to work toward a lasting peace.
I extend my deepest condolences to Mrs. Rabin, her family and the nation of Israel.
The Late Yitzhak Rabin

Peter Adams Peterborough, ON
Mr. Speaker, this evening at the Beth Israel synagogue in Peterborough people of all faiths will be meeting to mourn and remember Mr. Yitzhak Rabin.
I met Mr. Rabin once. He impressed me greatly.
Israel is an extraordinarily democratic nation. The struggles of the great majority of Israelis to solve their enormous problems through the democratic process are an example to us all.
Mr. Rabin's career was a key thread in the fabric of a democratic Israel from its birth to today. He showed us the path of moderation is not a soft option. It is a tough road beset by the pitfalls and traps of extremists. It is a path often shrouded by the fogs of apathy.
Our thoughts are with Mr. Rabin's family and the state of Israel at this difficult and tragic time.
The Economy
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Dale Johnston Wetaskiwin, AB
Mr. Speaker, the government's head in the sand approach to running the country must stop. Our debt is $567 billion and Stats Canada reports the October jobless rate increased to 9.4 per cent.
The Pollyannas across the way no doubt have been told: "Don't worry, be happy; the economy is improving". The 65,000 new entrants into the job market will not be happy until they find a job.
The increase would have been even higher if it were not for the spinoff from the resurgence of the U.S. economy. While the Prime Minister and his cabinet were perfecting their do-nothing routine during the referendum, they failed to realize the status quo approach to the economy will bring Canada even closer to financial collapse.
The minister of HRD's orchestrated leaks about new job creation schemes show he is still clinging to the socialist notion that governments can create jobs. History has proven this approach to be an unmitigated failure.
Why does the government not get out of the way so the private sector can create some real jobs?
Tragic Death Of Prime Minister Of Israel
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Pauline Picard Drummond, QC
Mr. Speaker, following the tragic death, two days ago, of Yitzhak Rabin, Israel and the whole international community have lost a great statesman.
Yitzhak Rabin was one of the main architects of the peace process in the Middle East. His death must not end the hope for lasting peace between Israel and its Arab neighbours.
Yitzhak Rabin was like a reflection of his country and of the whole Middle East. Born in a country under foreign control, he fought for national independence before becoming his country's defence chief of staff, and eventually ambassador, prime minister and peacemaker. It is thanks to his dedication to peace if, in recent years, we witnessed a rapprochement between Israel and its Arab neighbours.
More than anything else in his distinguished career, Yitzhak Rabin will be remembered as a man of peace who was loved by his people, by neighbouring nations, and by us all.
The Late Yitzhak Rabin

Rey D. Pagtakhan Winnipeg North, MB
Mr. Speaker, only two years ago Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin proclaimed to the world: "Enough of blood and tears. Enough".
Today citizens of the world remember those courageous words as they mourn the tragic loss of this great peacemaker. It is indeed ironic that a man of peace should be taken from the world so violently.
Today as we mourn his death we also celebrate his life. We shall continue to remember him for the legacy he has left behind: peace in the Middle East which will be treasured by every child who comes of age in a better world.
Mr. Rabin knew the soul of his people and his people came to him for leadership in war and in peace.
As we grieve with his family and his nation, let us resolve that his death shall not still the life of peace.
The Late Yitzhak Rabin
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Jane Stewart Brant, ON
Mr. Speaker, when a man of war becomes a general of peace, we have surely witnessed a miracle. When a man can turn a hawk into a dove, we have surely witnessed a miracle. When a man can learn to give instead of take, we have surely witnessed a miracle.
This miracle will be remembered as Yitzhak Rabin. The history he has written will become a beacon of hope, a symbol of peace, a miracle of humanity for all the world to share.
As but one who has watched his leadership and listened to his words, I share the grief, I feel the sorrow and I know we have lost someone rare.
Government Spending
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
John Williams St. Albert, AB
Mr. Speaker, the first set of supplementary estimates was tabled last week and with these estimates the government is proposing $936 million in new spending; spending that only six months ago was unforeseen, unimagined and completely unanticipated by the government.
I am appalled by some of this spending. The government's failure to collect information and its efforts to hide information have led to an expensive Somalia inquiry budgeted at $7.4 million. This could have been, would have been and should have been avoided if the Department of National Defence had done its job correctly.
There is a $4 million subsidy to Canada Post Corporation for providing services to the north. I thought Canadian postage rates are supposed to pay for delivery everywhere in Canada. Does Canada Post need an additional $4 million subsidy to do the job it is already paid to do?
Pharmacy Awareness Week
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Paul Szabo Mississauga South, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to bring to the attention of all Canadians that November 1 to 7 is Pharmacy Awareness Week.
Each year there are 12,500 deaths, two million lost work days, and $150 million in lost earnings in Canada because people do not take their medications properly.
The purpose of Pharmacy Awareness Week is to recognize the important role pharmacists play in health care, particularly in the use of medication. It also serves to encourage a dialogue between pharmacists and their patients on the proper and safe consumption of prescription drugs. Pharmacy Awareness Week is an opportunity for patients and pharmacists to reduce the risk involved with unsafe medication consumption.
I recognize the efforts of pharmacists in the field of health and I encourage them to continue their efforts to ensure that medications and their proper use continue to improve the good health of all Canadians.
The Constitution
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Gilles Duceppe Laurier—Sainte-Marie, QC
Mr. Speaker, last Wednesday, in response to a question, the Prime Minister said he was in favour of a veto right, not for the Government of Quebec but for Quebecers.
When asked about this last week, both the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs and the Deputy Prime Minister were unable to explain what the Prime Minister meant.
Could the Minister of Justice explain what the Prime Minister means when he talks about a veto right for Quebecers?
The Constitution
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Marcel Massé President of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada
Mr. Speaker, last week we said that the best way by far to give Quebecers the vote was to proceed with the good government we had started to put in place and implement the changes and reforms that were
clearly demanded by the public. That was the best way to prevent the next referendum.
The Constitution
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Gilles Duceppe Laurier—Sainte-Marie, QC
Mr. Speaker, I directed my question to the Minister of Justice because I thought that directing it to the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs would not give us more of an answer than we had last week.
I will again put my question to the Minister of Justice. Could he confirm his government's plans to table legislation in the House of Commons authorizing federal referendums in five regions in Canada, including Quebec, for the purpose of amending the constitution?

Ricotta, Romano, Mozzarella, garlic and other fresh ingredients are combined to create a pristine, delicious pie.
Btw, if you combine the ricotta with a little heavy cream, it spreads a bit better on the finished pizza. Traditionally, white pizza should have pools of ricotta.

Old modern is the new modern. If that seems oxymoronic, it's because it is.
"It's complicated because of the nature of modernism. The whole spirit of modernity was to be new. Why would a modernist of today yearn for the modernism of yore?" asked Fritz Harding, an interior designer and a former CCAD history of design professor.
The culture that shaped the time period, according to Harding, generates a lot of the allure behind mid-century modern's contemporary renaissance.
"There was such positivity post World War Two," he said, "a kind of optimism that hadn't been complicated by things that we see now — mass production, mass marketed goods. It was a fresh outlook of using new materials in innovative ways — molded plywood, fiberglass. There was still a lot of craft in modernism in how they put it all together."
This weekend the Columbus Museum of Art is converting its 6,000-square-foot special exhibition space on the second floor into a market of mid-century design's best décor, art and furniture.
Called the 20th Century Design Marketplace, the shopping event is a revamped version of the museum's annual Art, Design & Antiques Market.
"What we discovered was that really traditional antique dealers' things weren't selling well," said Pam Edwards, the CMA's director of visitor services. "People were more interested in items for the 20th century, items that were more contemporary, family-friendly, user-friendly, clean and simple."
Thus, the museum asked this year's 18 merchants to focus on antique products that represent art deco, art nouveau, mid-century modern and pop art and design movements. Prices range from $10 to $5,000, Edwards said, and $10 buys visitors a three-day shopping pass.
Special events decorate the weekend's agenda, such as a "Mad Men" costume party on Friday; and a Herman Miller pop-up shop and exhibit.

Well, I'm back safely from my tour of Asia. I am glad to report that Tokyo, Beijing and Kuala Lumpur are pretty much how I remember them from the last time I was there in each city. I have since been fighting jet lag by watching the last thirteen episodes of LOST season 6 and the series finale.
Recently, I have started seeing a lot of buzz on the term "Storage Federation". The concept is not new, but rather based on the work in database federation, first introduced in 1985 by [A federated architecture for information management] by Heimbigner and McLeod. For those not familiar with database federation, you can take several independent autonomous databases, and treat them as one big federated system. For example, this would allow you to issue a single query and get results across all the databases in the federated system. The advantage is that it is often easier to federate several disparate heterogeneous databases than to merge them into a single database. [IBM Infosphere Federation Server] is a market leader in this space, with the capability to federate DB2, Oracle and SQL Server databases.
Fellow blogger and BFF, Marc Farley (3PAR) has an excellent post [Zeroing in on a definition for federated storage]. Here's an excerpt:
- Storage expansion: You want to increase the storage capacity of an existing storage system that cannot accommodate the total amount of capacity desired. Storage Federation allows you to add additional storage capacity by adding a whole new system.
- Storage migration: You want to migrate from an aging storage system to a new one. Storage Federation allows the joining of the two systems and the evacuation from storage resources on the first onto the second and then the first system is removed.
- Safe system upgrades: System upgrades can be problematic for a number of reasons. Storage Federation allows a system to be removed from the federation and be re-inserted again after the successful completion of the upgrade.
- Load balancing: Similar to storage expansion, but on the performance axis, you might want to add additional storage systems to a Storage Federation in order to spread the workload across multiple systems.
- Storage tiering: In a similar light, storage systems in a Storage Federation could have different capacity/performance ratios that you could use for tiering data. This is similar to the idea of dynamically re-striping data across the disk drives within a single storage system, such as with 3PAR's Dynamic Optimization software, but extends the concept to cross storage system boundaries.
To some extent, IBM SAN Volume Controller (SVC), XIV, Scale-Out NAS (SONAS), and Information Archive (IA) offer most, if not all, of these capabilities. EMC claims its VPLEX will be able to offer storage federation, but only with other VPLEX clusters, which brings up a good question. What about heterogenous storage federation? Before anyone accuses me of throwing stones at glass houses, let's take a look at each IBM solution:
- IBM SAN Volume Controller
The IBM SAN Volume Controller has been doing storage federation since 2003. Not only can IBM SAN Volume Controller bring together storage from a variety of heterogenous storage, the SVC cluster itself can be a mix of different hardware models. You can have a 2145-8A4 node pair, 2145-8G4 node pair, and the new 2145-CF8 node pair, all combined together into a single SVC cluster. Upgrading SVC hardware nodes in an SVC cluster is always non-disruptive.
- IBM XIV storage system
The IBM XIV has two kinds of independent modules. Data modules have processor, cache and 12 disks. Interface modules are data modules with additional processor, FC and Ethernet (iSCSI) adapters. Because these two modules play different roles in an XIV "colony", that number of each type is predetermined. Entry-level six-module systems have 2 interface and 4 data modules. Full 15-module systems have 6 interface and 9 data modules. Individual modules can be added or removed non-disruptively in an XIV.
- IBM Scale-Out NAS
The SONAS is comprised of three kinds of nodes that work together in concert. A management node, one or more interface nodes, and two or more storage nodes. The storage nodes are paired to manage up to 240 nodes in a storage pod. Individual interface or data nodes can be added or removed non-disruptively in the SONAS. The underlying technology, the General Parallel File System, has been doing storage federation since 1996 for some of the largest top 500 supercomputers in the world.
- IBM Information Archive (IA)
For the IA, there are 1, 2 or 3 nodes, which manages a set of collections. A collection can either be file-based using industry-standard NAS protocols, or object-based using the popular System Storage™ Archive Manager (SSAM) interface. Normally, you have as many collections as you have nodes, but nodes are powerful enough to manage two collections to provide N-1 availability. This allows a node to be removed, and a new node added into the IA "colony", in a non-disruptive manner.
Even in an ant colony, there are only a few types of ants, with typically one queen, several males, and lots of workers. But all the ants are red. You don't see colonies that mix between different species of ants. For databases, federation was a way to avoid the much harder task of merging databases from different platforms. For storage, I am surprised people have latched on to the term "federation", given our mixed results in the other "federations" we have formed, which I have conveniently (IMHO) ranked from least effective to most effective:
- The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR)
My father used to say, "If the Soviet Union were in charge of the Sahara desert, they would run out of sand in 50 years." The [Soviet Union] actually lasted 68 years, from 1922 to 1991.
- The United Nations (UN)
After the previous League of Nations failed, the UN was formed in 1945 to facilitate cooperation in international law, international security, economic development, social progress, human rights, and the achieving of world peace by stopping wars between countries, and to provide a platform for dialogue.
- The European Union (EU)
With the collapse of the Greek economy, and the [rapid growth of debt] in the UK, Spain and France, there are concerns that the EU might not last past 2020.
- The United States of America (USA)
My own country is a federation of states, each with its own government. California's financial crisis was compared to the one in Greece. My own state of Arizona is under boycott from other states because of its recent [immigration law]. However, I think the US has managed better than the EU because it has evolved over the past 200 years.
- The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries [OPEC]
Technically, OPEC is not a federation of cooperating countries, but rather a cartel of competing countries that have agreed on total industry output of oil to increase individual members' profits. Note that it was a non-OPEC company, BP, that could not "control their output" in what has now become the worst oil spill in US history. OPEC was formed in 1960, and is expected to collapse sometime around 2030 when the world's oil reserves run out. Matt Savinar has a nice article on [Life After the Oil Crash].
- United Federation of Planets
The [Federation] fictitiously described in the Star Trek series appears to work well, an optimistic view of what federations could become if you let them evolve long enough.
Given the mixed results with "federation", I think I will avoid using the term for storage, and stick to the original term "scale-out architecture".

Sorting facts and fiction from common myths about pets
Does Fido eat grass to settle an upset stomach? Is Fluffy really untrainable? American Profile asked animal experts about these and other popular beliefs about pets. Here�s what they had to say: MYTH: A warm nose means your pet is sick. FACT: Not always, according to our experts. Cats and dogs have higher body temperatures than humans and may feel warmer in general. Sometimes a pet�s nose will be warm because the animal has been exercising or snoozing. �Warm, dry noses can be a sign of illness when they occur in association with other symptoms,� says H. Marie Suthers, a human-animal interaction expert in Helena, Mont. If your pet has a warm nose accompanied by changes in nose texture or color, nasal discharge, lethargy, loss of appetite, vomiting or diarrhea, a trip to the veterinarian is in order. MYTH: Cats by nature are untrainable. FACT: �Cats are very trainable. The problem is we use the wrong methods,� says feline behaviorist and author Pam Johnson-Bennett, of Nashville, Tenn. Don�t train a cat like you would a dog, she says. Instead, try to understand a cat�s conduct. �Animals don�t repeat behaviors unless it serves a function. If they are misbehaving, we haven�t provided what they need as an alternative,� such as a scratching post to use in place of the sofa, she says. MYTH: You can�t teach an old dog new tricks. FACT: �That�s like saying you can�t teach an adult to read. Of course you can!� Suthers says. �Any dog of any age can learn new tricks, or basic manners, too. It just takes a little patience, time and consistency.� MYTH: Animals eat grass to settle an upset stomach. FACT: This is true, Suthers says. �They also do it because it tastes good, or they are hungry,� she adds. �My dog will sit or do tricks for blades of grass.� MYTH: It�s healthy for a pet to have one litter before spaying. FACT: �That�s wrong,� says Staten Island, N.Y.-based animal behaviorist Stephen Zawistowski, science adviser for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. �If you spay a female before her first heat, you almost entirely eliminate the potential for mammary cancer,� he says. �Females who are never spayed go through continuous heat cycles and risk getting infection of the uterus.� Another spaying-related myth is that spaying or neutering makes your pet fat. Not so, say the experts. It�s not spaying or neutering, but too little exercise and too much food that cause pets to become overweight. MYTH: It�s OK to give cats a saucer of milk. FACT: �Cats may like milk, but most adult cats are lactose intolerant,� Bennett says. �Once a cat is weaned from its mother, they don�t need milk anymore.� In fact, Bennett adds, cats lack the lactase enzyme, which means they are unable to digest milk. �Cats are lactose intolerant and will end up with diarrhea,� she says. For young kittens not fully weaned, a milk-product specially formulated for cats is available from veterinarians. MYTH: A dog�s mouth is cleaner than a human�s. FACT: Perhaps not cleaner, but certainly no dirtier. Human and animal mouths contain different kinds of bacteria, Suthers says. Gum disease and plaque are concerns for both. �It�s important to brush your teeth and your dog�s teeth�for everyone�s health and for sweet breath,� she says. MYTH: �People� food is bad for pets. FACT: Not necessarily, Zawistowski says. Just watch their overall caloric intake to prevent weight gain. �Certain people foods are absolutely not appropriate�chocolate, raisins, onions, even bread dough,� Zawistowski says. �But there are a number of things that are perfectly fine for pets. My dog loves apples, and usually at night we�ll share an apple together.� Brought to you by: American Profile - Inspirational Stories & American History

Pizza is Beautiful. It is art. The richness and vibrancy of the colors just stops me in my tracks.
Is that the aleppo chile and calibrian pepper oil pie?
You sound like a cook man! Now imagine the moment after you have just served the pizza in the photo, and a customer calls you into the dinning room to tell you it's burnt, it sucks, and they can get better from Domino's.and you do this:
A contribution.
Absolutely Beautiful Craig! Simply Stunning! That Pie is soooooooo Mouthwatering Another Contribution......
Thank you. Yours is also beautiful and one of my all time favorites.CL
Favoloso sir! You can almost taste that brocollini and sausage pie. Are the calabrian chiles dried or are they soaked in olive oil. They look moist and tasty.jb

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (292 votes).
In short: Fantastic views, challenging, but worth the effortIn full: Hilly, especially at the start of the race, very challenging, but good support. Water stations are frequent....Date of review: June 25, 2013
In short: scenic set of trail races with a distance to suit all!In full: I did the 50k and found it to be really well marked, the water stations were plentiful, it was well organised, great value, would definately do it againDate of review: August 28, 2012
In short: Fantastic first time ultra experienceIn full: This was my first running race since school, and I thought I'd make it count with an Ultra. So the 50K trail option was right for me. Being a rookie, a flat-lander, and pressed with time for training I was not racing - my goal was to finish and to survive. The long hills before halfway mark took it out of me and left me puffing until the finish line. Weather, scenery, atmosphere and organisation were fantastic on the day - I couldn't find anything to complain about, even if I haven't really got much to compare it with. Date of review: August 21, 2012
In short: Something for everyoneIn full: A brilliant race through lovely countryside. I was tempted to do the 50k but settled for 30k, thank goodness - it was hilly and hot! But the organization was great, friendly marshals, nicely varied tracks (the narrow path through bramble briars around 25k had to be someone's idea of a joke!) and the run-in past the cathedral was a fantastic way to finish. I'll try to work the 50k into my schedule next year.Date of review: August 19, 2012
In short: Great Training RunIn full: Travelled from Cardiff to run the 30km as wanted a training run for the Snowdonia Marathon in October. We entered the week before but the organisers posted the pre-race info out asap which was appreciated. Sending the detailed race directions out before the race or loading them onto the website in the week beforehand would be useful. I carried them with me but found the signs on the course more than sufficient, made a small error across a field that cost a minute or two but that was it. The signs did run out a little bit in the last half mile through town however I read quite a few of the reviews beforehand so knew to expect this. Plus if you keep an eye out for the tower at the fire station and keep heading towards that you'll pick up a marshal.The organisation was very smooth, decent shelter given the intermittent rain at the start. Seats to watch the end of the mens Olympic marathon what more could you ask for??? TOILET ROLL!!! Adequate number of portaloos but none had any toilet roll left before the 30km started, only small thing that let down the start/finish, rest was great.The marshals were all very friendly, decent number of water stations and very well stocked checkpoints. The course itself was a real mixed bag, the scenery wasn't quite as glorious as I expected but I think I have been spoilt by some of the other trail races I have done. It was nice and its charm is that its quite unique not really run such a multiterrain event, parts were really pleasant, others a bit overgrown and isolated and others super busy with tourists. Hence multiterrain rather than trail is a more accurate description and its definitely a road shoe run.All in all if its fits with my marathon plans next year I would give it a go as it supports a very worthy cause and is useful training run.Date of review: August 17, 2012
In short: HOT HUMID HILLY -- HEAVENLY!In full: Did the 20k last year and thought I'd challenge myself to the 30 in 2012. Firstly, it is 31 ish k, so don't be fooled into thinking (like I did) that you can speed up for the last few k!The first 23k was glorious, the last 8 was hard going - hilly with tricky rutty tracks that destroyed my knees.I agree with many of the other reviewers that the last few k through the town doesn;t have great signs and it is kind of hard work dodging the meandering dizzy tourists after 30k......There is a way round that doesn;t involve running through the cathedral precinct and the town centre..but then it couldn;t be a 54321......All the above said, it is a beautifully organised event, Ludo does a fantastic job pulling it together, his team are brilliant and it is just one of the nicest events.Cake, fruit, jelly babies, dog bowls, smiles etc etc.....they have it allI will definitely be back next year.Date of review: August 16, 2012
In short: The Salisbury 5-4-3-2-1 has over the last few years become a regular favourite on the walk run calendar as it caters for nearly everyone who loves walking or running along footpaths, bridle-ways and quiet country roads in the Salisbury, Wessex area. In full: Desperate situations leads to desperate measures and last Sunday morning I was about to break probably the No.1 golden rule of marathon running (this is a don't try this at home moment) running in brand new running shoes. After my very poor performances in my last few marathons - with my foot issues and legs seizing up problems, I was about to gamble on what I hoped would, if not cure the problems at least help to minimise them. During the Around the Reservoir Marathon a couple of weeks ago I noticed that multi-world record marathon runner Traviss Willcox was running in a pair of weird looking running shoes, they had extra thick soles, were very wide and looked like they weighed a ton. - If you would like to read more then check out my full blog here at http://60in60at60.com/2012/08/13/m32-salisbury-5-4-3-2-1/Date of review: August 15, 2012
In short: fab trail runIn full: fantastic organisation well done to ludo and team.lovely to run through estates not normally open.fruit was heavenly!!! missed cake checkpoint cos of poor signage around cathedral and after! but minor gripe for what was for my sister and I a fab runDate of review: August 15, 2012
In short: Fab!!In full: I only decided to do the 30k at the last minute with others from Poole Runners doing various distances. This was ideal marathon training. The organisation was excellent, despite there being a choice of 11 runs or walks on the day. A real friendly event with excellent marshalls, directions and feed stations. Really enjoyed this and may even consider the 50k ultra one day! My only very minor criticism would be to request more of the excellent info provided on the day to be on the website. Other than this, top marks and a great way to raise money for a very deserving cause. Thank you.Date of review: August 14, 2012
In short: Lovely Ultra around rolling rural landIn full: My first Ultra and really enjoyed it, though my toes don't seem to agree!The course is beautiful and very easy to follow until the last half mile. I read last years reviews and this was mentioned then, so really surprised a few more arrows hadn't been put out around the back end of the town. The previous 30 miles had great signage. This is my only complaint.The marashalls did a fantastic job with smiling friendly faces, which always helps when you are knackered!I would certainly return as this is a must do race as far as I am concerned. A very big well done to all who helped this event run so wonderfully.Must mention the Yew tree forest which made me stop in my tracks and just take in the most fantastic surroundings. Enchanting is the best word I can use to describe it.Date of review: August 14, 2012

Gown: Margaret
Photographer: Lens to Life
Hot tip: Walking down the aisle with my Dad, looking down to see Mark waiting for me, was one of my favourite memories of the day.
What they loved: The wedding planning kicked off to an exciting start when I won the 'Win your dream dress competition' on polkadotbride.com at the start of last year. The highlight of the entire planning was getting to meet Henry Roth, when he flew down to Melbourne for one of his designer days. I remember the feeling the first time I put the dress on, as I went bright red and I was thinking….. I'm in my DREAM DRESS!!!!

It's from an Danish invasion of a Swedish occupied are of Norway in the 18th century. This was back when Norway was a part of thw Danish Union. And the guy who invaded was a navan flag officer in the Danish-Norwegian fleet at the time.
I was standing in front of all the people behind the blocking rope and was very close to this gaint canon that was definitely the loudest. Fucking thing was 7-8 meter away. I got hailed with the grass in front of it every time it fired. But it was a good angle.
Here are the pictures:
One of the guys from a reality show where you follow a bunch of mentally handicapped people.(They're actually really cool)
This is that big motherfucker that almost sent me flying with the shockwave from the explosives.
And now it's not working, took them about 5 minutes to get it going again. Karma is a bitch.
This was the best canoneer at the whole event. He was practically by himself the entire time and shot way faster than everyone else. He looked cool too.
No wonder why the Swedes lost, they're all sitting around and watching the battle.
Peter Tordenskjold doing a victory lap after landing the shore and beating the shit out of Swedes.
The guys from that reality show again. Yes they were in a part of the "invasion" this year. Fun as heck to watch.
These guys are definitely in the wrong century.

I know Beast does this, but I'm not exactly sure how. I suggest taking a look at the source code and see if you can make anything out of it. Maybe someone else here has experience with this.

This article should help
Ok, so it looks like it can be a hairy issue. Think I'll punt for now. Thanks for the guidance.
I have managed to solve this problem in one of my apps. I have posted the solution on my blog here http://matt-beedle.com/2006/12/13/rails is-online/. I hope this helps.
I am probably neglecting some aspect of this problem since I've never tried it myself, but couldn't you just use application variables with @@, like @@array_of_user_names?
More often than not, users simply navigate away from your site without logging off, so your list gets out of sync. Also, in distributed applications you can end up with two separate lists. See the following for more discussion on this matter: http://rails.techno-weenie.net/forums/1/topics/17

Here's how RW members rated this race (1164 votes).
In full: a great course and very pretty - but there were way too many people, and it takes disproportionally long to free up some space.Date of review: March 11, 2012
In short: Good to try but not my cup of tea.In full: This was my 7th half and my first big city one. Its just a personal thing but it was to big for me, the course was fast but I found it hard to get a good pace going because there were so many people. As I said though that is just a personal thing, and I would not suggest to anyone else not to do it. It was a bit expensive, but a you did get a really good goodie bag, medal and t shirt. As for first timers I entered my sister for her first ever race and she loved every min of it. The huge crowd would be a bonus to motivate any first timer. Date of review: March 11, 2012
In short: Great Atmosphere, well organised considering how many people take part.In full: My first city race and I thoroughly enjoyed it, the crowds kept cheering all the time and gave a great atmosphere. I might wear my name on my shirt next time as there was lots of name shouting by the crowd. I got overtaken by spiderman, a banana and shrek!Date of review: March 11, 2012

About the Author: Ambassador Eric Goosby serves as the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator.
The United States President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) mourns the tragic loss of David Kato. As noted in the powerful statements issued by President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, David was at the forefront of the fight for human rights for all Ugandans, including members of Uganda's lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community.
Stigma and discrimination against any population at risk for HIV undermine the fight against the disease. Courageous leaders help societies move forward with an effective public health response by promoting respect for the human rights of all people. David was such a leader for Uganda, and losing him is a tragedy. PEPFAR will honor David's life by continuing to provide essential HIV prevention, care and treatment to the people of Uganda -- especially to vulnerable, marginalized, and most at-risk populations. Through intensive work with both the government and civil society organizations, PEPFAR is working to ensure that all people in Uganda, including the LGBT community, benefit from a public health- and human rights-based response to HIV.
Stephen O. in Canada writes:
May his soul rest in peace,,,,.When will the world body United Nations who recognized this Human Rights activists arise to there responsibility of granting direct or indirect security protections to those who fight the course of there 'ethics"?,,,sending or sympathesing the death of activists is not enough way of encouraging those who are fighting the course of human right issues in different part of the world,,,,may his soul rest in peace once again.
Jessica N. in New York writes:
Brenda Namigadde will be sent to her certain death if this Ugandan lesbian is deported by the United Kingdom back to Uganda. Bring Brenda Namigadde to America as a refugee.
Susan C. in Florida writes:
This is beyond sad. People around the world are dying due to their beliefs in human rights. This man died standing against the cruel and, I believe, criminal laws of a corrupt country. What disturbs me even further is I understand that certain religious organizations from the U.S. have funneled large sums of money into Uganda to get these heinous laws passed. How can anyone or any organization say they believe in God, who I believe is merciful, and than support actions such as these? As Stephen O. in Canada said...may his soul rest in peace.
Ron in New York writes:
This is a crime against humanity.
Beyond political exploitation.
Beyond religious intolerance.
It is a failed attempt to obliterate the victims of HIV/AIDS to cover up a global crime.
Jitendra S. in India writes:
Respected sirs I wish to state that the hooch tragedy which has killed more than 150 people in Gujarat recently, I want to draw your attention about the another aspect of that accident, I want to remind you that as we all know very well that our state Gujarat is already on the hit list of terrorists and because of the liquor prohibition policy of our state govt. daily thousands of bottles in trucks of English liquor illegally made in our neighboring states and are supplied to our state. and whole of this network is operated by liquor bootleggers and mafias who can fall in to the hands of terrorists at any time and terrorists can supply a lot of poisonous liquor and can kill a largest number of innocent people any time and this will be comparatively easy and effective way for them. So I want to request you to establish the responsibility that who will be sole responsible for the accident if it takes place. Because directly govt is only responsible to first implement the liquor prohi. policy then to allow mafias to smuggle liquor in to the state, the smuggling of liquor is not possible without the cooperation of corrupt politicians and bureaucrats therefore I request you to accept my this request as a PRL and give the right directives to govt. so any major accident can be avoided. Respected sirs I am giving you some more aspects of this policy so please consider my that letter also a request to you which is as follows:-
Respected sirs ,please consider the following points in the aspect of relevancy of liquor prohibition policy of Gujarat and direct the govt. to rethink over it.. [1] Though the liquor prohibition policy is there in force in Gujarat but three times more liquor is being sold here compare to any other state of India .[2]Local gujarat govt. justifies this policy by saying that because this is the Gandhi's Gujarat therefore we implemented this policy here, on moral grounds. But today we have to think that who they are to say that Gujarat's Gandhi or Gandhi's Gujarat. Gandhi is the father of nation and whole nation is Gandhi's. Gandhi struggled for whole India and he never said that he is for Gujarat or Gujarat is for him so today we have to think that Don't we put question mark on his thinking by saying Gandhi's Gujarat.? And after all finally we have to think that Gandhi never taught us the lesson to move on morality by crushing humanity .[3] Still there are so many people here in society who don't drink so they like and support this policy. So the time has come to explain them that due to this policy the crime and corruption and diseases our society gets, they also can be victim of these things because this policy does not give any thing except crime and corruption to the general public of the society. [4] The transaction of millions of rupees has been criminalized which money moves within the liquor mafia and corrupted officers and politicians only. If this policy is demolished the same money will come in the market to the businessmen and even youths will get a new field to earn and get employment .[5] on the name of country liquor which liquor is being made and being sold here, millions of people are drinking that is made by car battary's acid, detergent soaps water, saltpeter(anum) or ( FITKARI),and Gud(brown sugar).Now it can be understood that drinking such liquor can be how much harmful. This liquor causes the liver diseases, tuberculosis, and other so many skin diseases also.[6] This is the totally failed and unsuccessful policy which violates our
Jitendra S. in India writes:
religious and human rights because we hindus think we have the right to worship our god Kal bhairav but we cant do so because liquor is required to worship the same god .but we cant get liquor because of this Islamic policy is implemented on our heads.
Respected sirs I wish to state that there are 5 crore people living in Gujarat state of India in which about thirty percent people consume liquor. Still the liquor prohibition policy is in force there. Due to this policy now you can imagine how a big number of people is consuming the poisonous liquor regularly and how big damage the society is bearing due to this policy, we tell the people that this is the policy which does not give anything to society but only crime corruption and diseases. We request all the electronic and print media to understand the seriousness of this matter and give the coverage to us and our voice. But we are neglected everywhere. only because we have no big funds to advertise ourself . but hereby I would like to request you to remind you that the time when they neglect us really they don't neglect us but they neglect a large number of innocent people of Gujarat who are bearing the torture of this policy and are drinking poison with keeping mum because they don't know where to go and whom to ask for their help, at last finally we look at you with the hope of some help from you. But your ignorance to us and such policy of killing the innocents with slow poison will make us more nervous. Therefore once again we request you to reconsider our request and to do needful.
Respected sirs, I want to say one thing about the liquor prohibition policy of Gujarat, that due to this policy the general public of Gujarat does not get any benefit but if this policy is demolished, and due to that the government gets the revenue from liquor business, by that money government can give at least one kg sugar every month to every poor or middle class family in the state, so I wish to state that please ask the govt. on the liquor pro. Policy, assessing the relevancy and profit and losses to the society . Because today the time has come to tell the people that this policy does not give any thing except the crime, corruption and diseases, deaths of innocents to the society. And only corrupted bureaucrats, politicians, and liquor mafias are enjoying this policy, Therefore we want your help in this regard. Respected sirs once again I request you in public interest please accept my this letter as a PRL and do the needful but I request you to keep my name and my address secret to you only. because either party A sitting in power or party B sitting in opposition, no one want to demolish this policy because this policy is like a cow giving milk to them, no matter who is having turn today either A or B, tomorrow will be the turn of other.so both of them will not like that my voice should be heard by you and they may try to crush my approach to you, so please I request you again to keep secret my identity to you only. I will reach to you whenever you order me, thanking you yours faithfully: jitendra s.
Anthony in California writes:
When human rights demands collide with Almighty God's demand, it stands no chance. God Rules. Obey Him and live. Enough of human rights nonsense that holds no water.
The Bible says "Where there is no vision, the people perish, but he that keepeth the law, happy is he." Proverbs 29:18.
Return to God and things will return to their normal perspectives. There will no longer be a need to fight for human rights which is an integral part of human existence. Why should people fight for what they already possess? To solve the problem, address the reason that gave rise to the need in the first place. All our righteousness are like filthy rags in the sight of God. Human right activists should encourage the people to stop transgressing God's law instead of following the multitude while claiming to be wise. "But we are ALL as an unclean thing, and ALL our righteousness are as filthy rags..." in the sight of God. The reason we are in trouble to start with is because "...there is no one that calleth upon Thy (God) name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of Thee (God): for Thou hast hid Thy face from US, and hast consume US, because of our iniquities (sins)." Isaiah 64: 6-7. Do I need say more? Whoever killed David Kato also transgressed the law. Both man and God, because the Lord says "vengeance is mine." David Kato may be looking for answers where none exists.

A Palermitan fellow had the excellent idea of filming his elderly parents making sfincione at their home according to traditional methods and uploading the video to Youtube so the whole world could see it. The video is priceless as a document of social history and highly instructive for anyone interested in recovering Italian pizza-making traditions. Of particular interest is that they place the cheese underneath the sauce (in America, L & B Spumoni Gardens does the same with their well-known Sicilians, except they slice the cheese instead of cube-cutting it), and also that they bake the pies directly on the deck of their WFO instead of panning it.Check it out: JLP
Here is some video of the American descendant of this sfincione:They don't seem to be all that concerned about getting a highly open crumb. Indeed, they probably don't want one; L&B uses a sheeter, while Rosalia's pan-rises their dough. For all I know, there may be some practical advantage to having a tighter, more uniform crumb when there's huge slabs of mozz melting right on top of it.Neither of their doughs looks all that heavily hydrated. It's a safe bet they're made with normal American flour and not Italian grades, or Semolina.They dust the top with hard cheese (Pecorino) but not breadcrumbs, and nor do they use onions in the sauce. L&B will put anchovies on their pies as an extra topping.The bake times of 15 minutes for L&B (whose cornicones and bottoms seem to by typically quite dark, often almost burnt) and 15-20 minutes for Rosalia would seem to correspond to a baking temp of ca. 500 and 450, respectively. If and when I get around to trying it, I'll use 450 and see how it goes.JLP
Norma- this is great reading material about Sfincione.http://siciliancookingplus.com/delicacies/09_sfincione.htmlWhat is the difference between Sfincione and pizza in teglia. Or the Pizzaruim pizza ? Or are they generally the same? Thanks in advance for your thoughts on the differences.

Mississippi College posted a record freshmen enrollment of 615 in the fall of 2013. The rising number of freshmen helped boost the state's largest private university's overall enrollment to 5,030.
The 2013 freshmen enrollment topped the previous record of 538 students in 2010 and easily bested the fall 2012 freshmen enrollment of 496. Fall 2013 also saw 324 transfer students enroll at MC, for a total of 939 new undergraduate students on campus.
Jennifer Bullard, one of those freshman, cited MC's Christian environment, the depth of her business administration classes, and an excellent education at an affordable cost as the reasons she chose MC.
"This is one of the best-priced private universities," Bullard said. "I also liked the atmosphere and welcoming environment at MC."
Freshman Sarah Welch, a music major from Germantown, Tennessee, left the Volunteer State to attend Mississippi College for similar reasons. "For me, it was the combination of the excellent music department and how friendly the people are here."
