The riot & after
Ahead of the judgement on June 30, Harinder Baweja and Mahesh Langa revisit Naroda Patiya in Ahmedabad, where 95 Muslims were killed in 2002.india Updated: Jun 24, 2012 01:14 IST
Shakeela Banu remembers the day vividly. How can she forget February 28, 2002? On that day, Naroda Patiya, a nondescript colony in Ahmedabad resembled a gigantic bonfire hungry for bone and flesh. Mobs gathered on the main road's Noorani Masjid and then roamed its labyrinthine bylanes shouting slogans of Jai Shri Ram; swords and trishuls firmly in hand. The sharp-edged weapons were used to wound and the fire to char the bodies; many beyond recognition. Among the 95 hapless Muslims that the fire devoured were Shakeela's mother, two brothers, a sister-in-law and two young nieces and nephews; the children flung into the blaze like little pieces of driftwood.Eight members of Shakeela's family had been hounded to death and 10 years later, what makes it worse is the fact that their neighbours had turned bloodthirsty and done them in. Naroda Patiya, a locality with an equal mix of Hindus and Muslims had bled the most and Shakeela's heart still bleeds. She remembers the day death had visited them and she shudders. The neighbours-turned-murderers have been out on bail and every day one of the 300 witnesses, who stood steadfast and testified in court, is being threatened. Judgement day is drawing nearer and the threats and intimidation are increasing with each hour that brings them closer to June 30, when judge Jyotsana Yagnik will deliver a verdict on the 62 accused.
The list of accused tells the grisly story of 2002 and gives a clear anatomy of the riots. Amongst them is one of Narendra Modi's ministers – Mayaben Kodnani, the local MLA from the area who was, in 2007, made the minister of state in charge of women and child development. Then, there is her personal assistant, Kirpal Singh, so smug on power, he thought he might never be booked for accompanying the minister and distributing lethal weapons. There is also the former Bajrang Dal leader, Babu Bajrangi who had gloated over how he ripped apart the pregnant Kaiser Bano's stomach and pulled out her nine-month-old foetus. And of course there are the neighbours and accomplices of Kodnani from Naroda Patiya who brought her back to power with the largest victory margin – 1.8 lakh votes – in 2007.
But more than the political margin, the distinction that victims draw attention to is the hospital Kodnani ran as a qualified gynaecologist. But on February 28, this giver of life gave birth to deep-seated hatred and sowed the seeds of revenge. The special court, designated by the Supreme Court, heard it in the words of Siddique Mansoor, an eye witness who deposed in court despite the lure of a better life and when that didn't work, a kidnapping and the direct threat of, "We'll kill you if you speak about Mayaben". But Mansoor said it all in court and recounted how he had seen Kodnani order her PA Kirpal Singh to distribute swords, tridents and jerry cans full of kerosene. And then the instigation when she said, "Our Hindu brothers have been killed. We have to avenge their deaths. Kill the 'miyas'. I am with you. There will be no police enquiry".
Kodnani's promise went half-kept. The Naroda Patiya case was initially investigated by the state crime branch, which did not make her an accused on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence against her. Her name made it to the list of accused only after the Supreme Court transferred nine riot cases, including Naroda Patiya, to the Special Investigation Team (SIT) in 2008. Kodnani was not the only recipient of the largesse of the local police. The subversion of justice ran deep and wide. Circumstances were ranged against the victims from day one when the naked dance of death gripped the locality. Scores have testified to how the Special Reserve Police (SRP) whose camp was a stone's throw from Muslim homes had turned the women and children away, refusing to give them shelter and lathi charging and tear gassing them instead. They have testified to how the police inspector KK Mysorewala had sided with the mob and saluted Kodnani as she exhorted the mob to kill. Despite several testimonies, Mysorewala has not been listed as an accused; a battle, activist Teesta Setalwad has taken to the Supreme Court. The victims were willing to tell their stories to anyone who cared but help had not come on February 28 even though the Ahmedabad Police Headquarter is located a mere four kms away. "No one came to tame the execution squad that killed 95 in a matter of hours," says NGO, Jan Sangharsh Manch's Mukul Sinha.
Even afterwards, the subversion continued. The police did not annexe the testimonies of the victims to the chargesheet. Cruelly, the police did not pursue the allegations of rape even though survivors reported it and despite the fact that at least one postmortem report indicated sexual assault. Worse, autopsies on 41 bodies were not carried out. The list of omissions is endless – a mobile, dropped by one of the accused and handed over to the police, was not investigated; the police did not probe fire-arm injuries and investigate the larger question of where the guns were procured from; nor did they make any effort to analyse the call records of the accused.
If they had – the anatomy of the riot would have been laid bare. Rahul Sharma, SP Bhavnagar, who had deftly controlled the rioters in his district and saved 500 school children, officially called for the call details, which he submitted to the Nanavati Commission. The officer has now been chargesheeted by the government, but the log is a chilling piece of evidence – the accused were in touch with each other, with the chief minister's office and the Minister of State for Home, Gordan Zadaphia. Why should Jaideep Patel, the general secretary of the VHP, have been in touch with Babu Bajrangi? Why was the MLA in constant touch with the VHP general secretary and what was Kodnani doing, being in regular contact with the other accused? The log nailed Kodnani's fate and sealed the lie that the crime branch had chosen to buy – that she was in Gandhinagar on February 28. The SIT, which also finally got seven witness testimonies, was forced to arrest her though it did not oppose her bail when it was granted.
The court will now give its verdict on Kodnani, Bajrangi and the other accused but relief is not a sentiment that marks the victims of Naroda Patiya. Most of them have been living under police protection since the trial began in 2009 and many are now planning to move out of home for fear that the neighbours will seek a second revenge. Shamshad Khan Pathan, advocate for the victims, is being inundated with requests for more security. But there is one person who is definitely leaving. Shakeela Banu will be escorting her daughter, who is eight months pregnant, to a dargah. The pain of having lost eight members in 2002 still hits her like a stab. Fresh too are memories of Kaiser Bano's stomach being ripped open and the foetus being wrenched out.

With Diwali just around the corner, there are some simple ways to take care of your skin. Here are a few quick tips to get healthy, radiant skin in time for the festival
Exfoliate, exfoliate
If your complexion is dry and dull, your skin probably harbours a lot of old dead skin cells. Get your exfoliator on it. "Exfoliation is and always has been an important factor in achieving and maintaining radiant skin," says Dr Allen Rezai, Plastic Surgeon, Elite Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Group. He suggests choosing products that contain alpha hydroxy acid.
So is there a shortcut to radiant skin? Unfortunately not, says Dr Malcolm Paul, Plastic Surgeon at LaVie Clinic. "However, I recommend the daily use of exfoliates and twice weekly use of retinoic acid. This will give the skin a fresh and radiant look."
Live healthy
Our mums and grandmums have dinned the importance of healthy eating into us for good reason. "Diet and exercise play a crucial role to remain healthy," says Dr Paul. "If you are able to limit the intake of carbohydrates, consume more of green vegetables and fresh fruit daily. The benefits will slowly be visible. All this will give you a balanced lifestyle and ensure good health and well-being."
Managing stress helps, as can limiting smoking and sleeping well before the festive season, adds Dr Rezai, who says IV infusion therapy is becoming a popular fix of choice by individuals constantly on the go.
Lock down a routine
Everyone knows at least one woman with seemingly perfect skin. Her secret is simple — she has flawless skin because she's nailed the best daily routine. While there are thousands of skin and beauty products, to be able to use them effectively, you need a regular routine.
The best times for a skincare regimen are right after you get out of the shower and just before bed.
Harness hydration
After the long summer months, chances are your skin feels pretty parched. You need to stay hydrated on the inside by drinking lots of water or
at least the ideal eight glasses a day.
Though it's tempting to grab a coffee the minute you wake up, experts say choosing the right beverages can be a game changer. Green juices with lots of veggies can transform your skin in a matter of days, while stimulating lymphatic drainage, so it's de-puffing, too.
"Retinoic or glycolic acid products are highly recommended for healthy and glowing skin," says Dr Paul. "In the cooler months, use moisturisers based on your skin type."
Listen to your skin
Is your skin like you? Does it overreact to everything you slather on it? If every moisturiser your BFFs rave about leaves your skin sore, it's time to turn to gentler formulas. For very sensitive skin types, it is advisable to avoid over-the-counter products, even if they are labelled for sensitive skin, says Dr Rezai.
"Instead consult with a skincare specialist right away to find a professional product range suitable for your skin type," he says. "When trying a new product, it is important to maintain an open communication with your specialist.
Sometimes you may experience temporary skin irritation or discomfort, but this may be an expected reaction and means the products are working and your skin is adjusting."
Shield the sun
Many people feel they only need protect themselves on sunny days or at the beach. However, the truth is that we need to protect our skin even when driving a car, shopping or running errands. It's the daily UV exposure that contributes to the visible signs of ageing. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a SPF of 30 or greater — and remember that it needs to be reapplied every two hours.
"Avoid exposure to sunlight, it is the most important and powerful cause of skin ageing," says Dr Paul. "Regular use of good quality sunscreen creams are highly recommended on a daily basis. Be more careful concerning sun exposure during the warmest months from the end of May until the end of October."

There's always one.
Sometimes in life, there are certain people you meet who you just can't wrap your head around. Like they are so off-kilter that you're not quite sure how they're managing to live amongst the rest of us comfortably. Like, shouldn't they seek out their fellow weirdoes (yes, this is the correct spelling for the plural of weirdo) while having contests to see who can be the most outlandish and eccentric or something, right?
I have one of these at my job. I don't really have any function to actually deal with her on a work level, but she sits in the same area as me and I just can't help but notice her. I'm only in this building roughly once a week so these observations have taken place over quite a span of time and I was finally given the inspiration I needed by another coworker of mine when she said to me "She might be the biggest weirdo ever. You might have to blog about her." The universe biffed me in the head and I thought, "Why didn't I think of that?"
So that brings us here. Of course we'll have to name her so I'm going to go with Crazy Cat Lady or CCL for short. (I swear to god, she just burst out into a fit of hysterical giggles as I'm typing this. I hope she's not psychic.) So CCL is, of course, obsessed with her cats. All four of them. One of which is one of those freaky little hairless things and of course, this one is her favorite. Or, "My baaaayyyyyybeeeeeee!!" as she loves to squeal. Now, I have three cats myself, but I also am able to hold down a life outside of my furry creatures. CCL? Not so much. If you so much as mention an animal in her pressence, you will automatically be subject to a photo album of her babies and thier various personality traits.
I realize that being bohemian and artsy is sort of in style and cool right now, but she's outside that realm. This woman is somewhere in her late thirties, lives alone save for her four precious shnookums and rides a bicycle with a basket on the front of it to work. I wonder where she parks that bad boy. I'll have to take a look around the parking lot when I leave.
She has hair that's longer than any self respecting woman in her thirties should really be wearing it, and she's recently adorned herself with rhinestone encrusted cat-eye glasses a la Lisa Loeb circa 1994's "Stay (I missed you)" video. Her desk has been thoroughly decorated with a veritable sea of unnecessary crap including a wooden snake figurine perched precariously atop her computer monitor, juggling balls, a tiny globe, a bamboo lamp, several different kinds of rocks, carpet samples, a silver RV figurine circa 1959 and a pink construction helmet. I mean, we work for an investment bank, not Miss Cleo's Tarot Card Readings, at which job I would assume this desk decoration would be commonplace. I and a few other coworkers have also witnessed, on several different occasions, her eating honey with a spoon straight out of the jar whilst staring off into space in front of her computer.
She also has several different voices. I have heard her speak in a normal tone of voice on one rare occasion so I know that she is capable of it, but she very rarely uses that one. I really thank god that she chose cats over dogs, because the voice in which she normally speaks would drive any dog in a three mile radius absolutely insane. It's this extremely high pitched annoying voice that's normally associated with equally annoying Saturday morning cartoon shows like Spongebob Squarepants or high school girls from the Valley. How she conducts business like this is absolutely beyond me. She also giggles uncontrollably at the drop of a hat in a similarly annoying way. Her giggle actually uses the syllables "hee hee hee" in rapid high pitched succession.
Now today, I'm at the same location as her and I generally keep to myself and just do whatever it is that I'm doing, but I just couldn't help overhearing her popping up over her cubicle wall and asking one of the guys she works with if he happens to have any lighter fluid. Rightfully so, the coworker asks her what she needs it for. She says, "Oh, I'm trying to get these stickers off of the side of my computer and I just thought I'd use lighter fluid." I'll let that one sink in.
So they proceed to have a conversation on what the best method to remove said stickers would be and he's trying to convince her that maybe Windex or alcohol can do the trick. But no. She's quite insistent upon the lighter fluid. I'm wondering if she's maybe finally had enough and she's planning on blowing up the building using lighter fluid and sticker friction. Thank god no one carries lighter fluid around in their pockets anymore.

A friend of mine must work with CCL's clone, or at least distant cousin. This wack job loves to take her dentures out and clean them with a tootpick while sitting at her desk. She also removes them and places them in her chair when she goes to talk to a fellow employee.
And that is just some of the milder things this one has done.
Does make life interesting yes?

- Pronunciation: port ELL-in
- Founded: 1825
- Closed: 1983
- Region: Islay
- Status: Closed
- Owner: Diageo
- Production Capacity: N/A
Port Ellen is the lost jewel of the Islay crown. Closure in 1983 has enabled this distillery to receive a near mythical amount of love and respect. As stocks get thinner on the ground, prices get higher and higher.
Originally a malt mill built in 1825, it was later converted to a distillery in 1833. Production flowed until 1929 when it was closed until 1966. It then resumed production until its final closure in 1983.
Built in 1973 and beginning production in 1974, the Maltings at Port Ellen are still a vital part of the islands malt production. Although closed to the public for most of the year, tours are on offer during the festival and by special appointment.
For the past thirteen years, Diageo have released an official bottling of Port Ellen, as part of their special release series.It is quite common to see one of these " Special Releases" at auction.Now in it's 13th edition,to buy a bottle of this would cost no less than £1500. The Port Ellen 1st Edition from 1979 is increasing drastically at auction reaching £1,400 on Whisky Auctioneer.
As Islay malts are in such demand, there have been many releases of Port Ellen independently – get any Port Ellen you can afford. It is by no means finished yet, but is certainly heading that way and increasing in price dramatically.You would be extremely lucky to find a bottle on a retailers shelf for less than £300.
Perhaps the rarest official release would be the Port Ellen Feis Ile released for the Islay festival in 2008; only 220 bottles at a cost of only £99 which might now achieve £2000 in auction.

It looks like Brandi Glanville won't be rejoining the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills next season, and the reason why will likely surprise no one. An insider revealed to E! News' Giuliana Rancic that it was Bravo's decision to not invite her back, due to her contentious relationships with some of the other cast members.
Somewhere, LeAnn Rimes is high-fiving herself. I'm guessing.
Anyway, I can't help but feel a little bad for Brandi, who is reportedly "upset" by the news, but also understands it, and is glad she got to be on the show for a few seasons.
Kim first appeared on the reality series in season two as a friend, and joined as a regular in season three. She stayed on through seasons four and five, and won't be in the sixth, which has yet to start filming. Over the years, Brandi has managed to piss almost everyone off at some point or another, most recently with Kyle Richards, over her sister Kim Richards.
Kim also hasn't been invited back, by the way, which is fine by her as she focuses on her health and recovery in rehab.
More from The Stir: Brandi Glanville Prays for LeAnn Rimes -- Can She Get an Amen?
Anyway, there was a rift this last season involving Kim's sobriety, a poker night, some prescription pills, scratching, and pizza flying across the room. Which sort of makes me question why Bravo is quitting this kind of entertainment, except when I remember that even though it's a reality show, these are real people in real life with real feelings.
After the filming of that scene, Kim was arrested and charged with resisting arrest, public intoxication, and battery of an officer. She's recovering in rehab right now, and a source told E! News, "She's doing well. She's talking to her children and they've all visited her ... Right now, she's not sure how long she's going to stay in treatment. She's taking it one day at a time."
Are you going to miss Brandi next season?

The French introduced electric car Citroen E-Mehari
In December 2015 the French presented the first production version of the crossover-cabriolet Citroen E-Meharia concept that was shown in September at the Auto Show in Frankfurt. Sales of the model will start in spring 2016. At first the car will be available only in France, but in the next few months, market model will be significantly expanded.
The road version of the electric Citroen E-Mehari built on the platform of a compact convertible Bollore Bluesummer, which is collected in the French Rennes. Dimensions of new items will be 3810, 1870 and 1650 mm in length, width and height, respectively.
In terms of design focused on the French coupe Citroen C4 Cactus. They decided not to use the panel Airbump, and abandoned the front of the sofa with a common back in favor of two separate seats.
Citroen E-Mehari received a 69 hp electric motor, which "draws" energy from a lithium-polymer battery capacity of 30 kWh. With such "stuffing" crossover convertible can accelerate to 110 km/h, while its cruising range is 200 km. For pricing model yet.

Turban Takeover
Turban and Turban inspired headbands are the next hottest trend for spring 2012. This Parisian glamour has been seen on tons of runways as well as already being sold in the stores as some cant even keep them in stock. Fashion is known to recycle itself and this is not the first time we have seen a version of the turban. According to http://www.paperpast.com and a lot of fashion history research, "The fur turban was so popular in the 1960's that it was sold at low-priced hat bars" (Marcus, 2010). In today's society, we sometimes look to street fashion to see what is trending instead of the couture and runway shows. This is called the trickle-up theory as it helps prove that the turban is a hot commodity.
Marcus. (n.d.). Paperpast yearbook. Retrieved from http://www.paperpast.com/html/1960_fashion.html
Fashion meets Technology
Fashion and Technology have definitely converged together whether it's through social networking sites such as Facebook and Pinterest or online shopping websites. "By 2014, 53% of total retail sales (online and offline) will be affected by the Web, as consumers are increasingly using the Internet to research products before purchasing" (Forrester, March 2010). This is over half of the total retail sales and I can only imagine how this number will increase in the future. Personally I love online shopping as I find a larger variety and diversity of clothing. I normally read reviews on my items, which also helps with buying gifts for other people. Technology is a major part of our society today so it only makes sense that is would combine with fashion. People can shop online, browse the web for new trends and read fashion magazines anywhere they can use the Internet. Technology has even become an important element in some products as well. For instance, Nike's training line of tennis shoes can capture reps, calories burned, and can even send this information straight to your phone. It amazes me how far technology has come and how it is incorporated with fashion. I know we will be seeing even more advanced products and inventions in the future

Shoes for Orphan Souls
After researching many important causes I have decided to collaborate with the Shoes for Orphan Souls foundation, which provides shoes and socks to orphans and vulnerable children all around the world. "Since 1999, 2.2 million pairs of new shoes and socks have been distributed to children in 73 countries" (Shoes for Orphan Souls, 1999). I personally have served community service hours at the Shoes for Orphan Souls location in Frisco and absolutely loved it as it was so rewarding and was an experience I will never forget. I would like to come up with a colorful and fun fitness/ yoga line as well as having my own tennis shoes line. If you buy a pair of tennis shoes, 50 percent of the proceeds plus three pairs of socks will go straight to that orphan or vulnerable child. You will then receive a picture and a bio of the child's life you just made a difference in and every time you buy something from my line, 50 percent will go that same child. I think this is important for my customers to physically see who it is they are helping and make a real emotional connection to them.

I have come to realize that vegan consumers' ideas on purchasing products are a lot different then the normal consumer. Veganism is based on deep seeded human feelings of guilt over the rape of the natural world. The companion emotional component to guilt is a feeling of human connectedness to nature. This means that they are very environmentally conscious and take pride in our planet. Vegans may only purchase a product made of natural fibers or one that has not been chemically treated. Eco friendly fibers consist of "organic cotton, silk, wool and other fibers that have not been chemically treated" (Ledet, 2009). Vegans also refuse to wear anything made of animal fur so those beautiful mink coats are not an option for vegans.
The vegan and Eco friendly lifestyle is a trend that has publicly been on the rise for a few years now. We are seeing the trend in magazines, store advertisements, and it's the "hot new trend" in Hollywood. The vegan lifestyle is not something that just pops up every few years, even though it's growth has almost doubled. The concept of the lifestyle has been around for decades. Characteristics of vegans are those who do not eat meat, are skinny but not athletic as they do not have enough protein to be, and are focused towards the younger generation.

Picked up the Donald Fagen box set a few days ago. Just sheer quality throughout and highly recommended to any Steely Dan fans out there.
I was just listening to The Best and the Rest of Be Bop Deluxe (on vinyl natch') and the thought struck me that opening riff of The Sex Pistols' version of Eddie Cochran's Something Else owes an awful lot to Blazing Apostles, to the point of almost being a rip-off (Blazing Apostles was released 2 years before The Great Rock'n' Roll Swindle). The original Eddie Cochran song doesn't have the guitar riff at the beginning, so definitely a Sex Pistols addition.
What do you think?

Listening to Absolute 70's on the radio.
The reply box took so long to load, when I clicked it What's Going On by Marvin Gaye was on then Guitar Man by Bread came on and as I finish typing All the Young Dudes by Mott the Hoople has just come on. All good stuff.
Had the 80's music pumping out the sonos all weekend.
Picked up the new Bad Wolves album today - Disobey.
Have to say I got it on the strength of their cover of the Cranberries Zombie......
So far so good - liking the mix of full on thrash to melodic rock.

This came up as a suggestion on Amazon - Heavy Weather by Weather Report, so I stumped up the 3 quid for the CD for a nostalgic bit of 70s jazz/funk fusion which is surprisingly feel-good. And of course the highly-talented and equally highly-troubled Jaco Pastorius on bass.
Milos - The Guitar. Perfect relaxing music. Up next - Dave Brubeck - Take Five.

What Goes In, Must Come Out
Contributed by Jason Winters on Aug 7, 2010 (message contributor)
Summary: We have heard garbage in garbage out; well, God in us equals God coming out.
What goes In
Must Come Out
On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him."
John 7:37-38 (NIV)
What stays Out, can't come out
If we want God to come out, God must go in.
The more God goes in,
The more God comes out.

I named myself The Crafting Professor, since I'm a crafter, and I'm a college professor. I went through many, many years of graduate school, and the best source of relaxation and stress relief was being in my craft room or going to a local crop. Back then, I never told anyone that I was a full-time graduate student. I was waiting for the day I would scrapbook my graduation page. Now, I run the ScrapbookerPhD challenge blog (http://scrapbookerphd.blogspot.com), and am bringing my passion for crafting and teaching together. But here, at The Crafting Professor, I'm just sharing my work with like-minded crafters from all over the world.

Survival Seed Bank
Now you can grow all the survival food you will ever need anywhere in the country with a kit that contains a special seed bank of hard to find, open pollinated... super seeds, grown by small, fiercely independent farmers.
Let's face it. If the stories coming out on the world's food supply are even half right, we've got real problems and they aren't going to go away quickly. Here are a couple stories that I ran across recently:
• WorldNet Daily cites strong evidence that some government agencies are stockpiling huge amounts of canned food.
• Jim Randas, former U.S. Intelligence officer, appeared on ABC telling Americans to start stockpiling food.
• Grocery store prices are rising faster than any time in U.S. history.
• Worldwide grain stocks are dropping precipitously as bio-fuels consume inventories... and on and on and on.
You don't have to be an Old Testament prophet to see what's going on all around us. A desperate lower class demanding handouts. A rapidly diminishing middle class crippled by police state bureaucracy. An aloof, ruling elite that has introduced us to an emerging totalitarianism which seeks control over every aspect of our lives.
As the meltdown progresses, one of the first things to be affected will be our nation's food supply. Expect soaring prices along with moderate to severe shortages by spring. If you don't have the ability to grow your own food next year, your life may be in danger. Supply lines for food distribution in this country are about three days, meaning a dependence on "just in time" distribution systems, which will leave store shelves empty in the event of even the smallest crisis.

Learn how to do Canning at Home
To preserve foods by canning two things must be done. First, sufficient heat must be provided to destroy all microscopic life that will cause spoilage in food; and second a perfect seal must be made which will prevent the re-entrance of microorganisms. These problems of preventing spoilage have been practically solved by the improved methods of canning which are explained below.
Only the freshest of fruits and vegetables should be canned. Canning does not improve the taste of the product; it only preserves it for future use.
Methods of Canning
Open Kettle: This method involves cooking the product completely and pouring it into sterilized jars, using sterilized equipment throughout. The jars are then sealed and stored. The open kettle method is recommended only for preserves, pickles, and foods canned in thick syrup. For other foods use the following methods.
Cold Pack: Cold, raw foods are put into jars and covered with boiling-hot syrup, juice of water. (Tomatoes are pressed down in the jar so they are covered with their own juice.) Jars are partially or completely sealed, following manufactures directions. Jars are then processed in boiling water or in steam to simultaneously cook the food and sterilize the jars.
Hot Pack: Fruits and vegetables are preheated before packing causing shrinkage before food goes into jars. This is the preferred method as preheating the food before packing prevents "floating", (especially with fruits) and assures a full pack. Processing time is also lessened when food is hot-packed.

One reason you Should Grow Vegetables
It also gives you the pleasure of savoring a delicious, sun-warmed tomato fresh from the garden. In almost every case, the flavor and texture of varieties you can grow far exceed the best grocery store produce.
Plus, growing vegetables can be fun. It's a great way to spend time with children or have a place to get away and spend time outdoors in the sun.
Growing vegetables is probably easier than you think. If you plan it right, you can enjoy a beautiful garden full of the fruits of your labor -- without having to spend hours and hours tending it.

It's been breaking news all over MSNBC, liberal blogs, newspapers and even The Wall Street Journal: "Federal spending under Obama at historic lows … It's clear that Obama has been the most fiscally moderate president we've had in 60 years." There's even a chart!
I'll pause here to give you a moment to mop up the coffee on your keyboard. Good? OK, moving on.
This shocker led to around-the-clock smirk fests on MSNBC. As with all bogus social science from the left, liberals hide the numbers and proclaim: It's "science"! This is black and white, inarguable, and why do Republicans refuse to believe facts?
Ed Schultz claimed the chart exposed "the big myth" about Obama's spending: "This chart — the truth — very clearly shows the truth undoubtedly." And the truth was, the "growth in spending under President Obama is the slowest out of the last five presidents."
Note that Schultz also said that the "part of the chart representing President Obama's term includes a stimulus package, too." As we shall see, that is a big, fat lie.
Schultz's guest, Reuters columnist David Cay Johnston confirmed: "And clearly, Obama has been incredibly tight-fisted as a president."
Everybody's keyboard OK?
On her show, Rachel Maddow proclaimed: "Factually speaking, spending has leveled off under President Obama. Spending is not skyrocketing under President Obama. Spending is flattening out under President Obama."
In response, three writers from "The Daily Show" said, "We'll never top that line," and quit.
Inasmuch as this is obviously preposterous, I checked with John Lott, one of the nation's premier economists and author of the magnificent new book with Grover Norquist: "Debacle: Obama's War on Jobs and Growth and What We Can Do Now to Regain Our Future." (I'm reviewing it soon, but you should start without me.)
It turns out Rex Nutting, author of the phony Marketwatch chart, attributes all spending during Obama's entire first year, up to Oct. 1, to President Bush.
That's not a joke

Internet and data security are primary concerns among businesses, prompting one organization to host a two-day educational seminar in Colorado Springs regarding cybersecurity threats.
Western Cyber Exchange, an independent non-profit that provides public and private companies with a forum to share cybersecurity information, created the event to bring together industry experts, small business owners, government contractors and universities for two days of idea sharing.
"Cybersecurity affects everyone," said Doug DePeppe, a WCX member and a speaker at the seminar, according to the Gazette. "The threat that targets the federal government targets small businesses as well."
According to the news source, mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets have heightened the security risks for many businesses, while the individual user is often a major culprit of a data breach. DePeppe also said that small companies are at the greatest risk of security problems, especially their business bank accounts because they aren't FDIC insured.
October is the eighth annual National Cyber Security Awareness Month, with the goal to trigger information sharing among American industries to combat the growing threat of cyberattacks. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, NCSAM encourages and supports events across the country, promoting an increase in knowledge about cybersecurity.

Overnight parking is prohibited in Kawartha Lakes until April 30
Overnight parking is prohibited in Kawartha Lakes until April 30
KAWARTHA LAKES— As winter weather approaches the City would like to remind residents that the seasonal ban on overnight parking between November 1 and April 30 is now in effect.
On street parking
On-street parking is prohibited on City streets between 11pm and 6am from November 1 to April 30. Vehicles may be ticketed and/or towed regardless of snow clearing operations and weather conditions.
In the following downtown areas prohibited parking hours are between 2am and 6am from November 1 to April 30:
- Kent Street West from Lindsay Street to Victoria Ave
- Bolton Street from King Street to Canal Street in Bobcaygeon
Fenelon Falls
- Colborne Street from Water Street to Bond Street
- May Street from Water Street to Francis Street
- Francis Street West from Colborne Street to May Street
- King Street from Queen Street to Sturgeon Road
Municipal parking lots
Overnight parking in municipal parking lots is prohibited between 11pm and 6am from November 1 to April 30 unless covered by a permit in Lindsay.
Snow and ice removal
Snow and ice on sidewalks can impact the ability of people to get around safely – including pedestrians with service animals, walkers, wheelchairs and strollers. Residents and businesses are responsible and required to clear the way around their property.
- Property owners are required to completely remove snow and/or ice from sidewalks adjacent to their property
- Do not push or blow snow from your property back on to the street. This is in violation of the Highway Traffic Act and it creates unsafe conditions.
- Where possible, pile snow on the right side of your driveway (as you face the street) so that cleared snow does not get moved back onto your driveway by the snow plow.
- Reduce the height of the snow bank at the end of your property by shoveling snow back further onto your property. This improves visibility when entering or exiting your driveway.
- For safety reasons, remove snow around exit doors, stairways, fire escapes and furnace vents. If there is a fire hydrant in front of your home or business, remove snow and ice around the fire hydrant.

Every Woman Should Own a Pair of White Jeans
I'll be honest, it took me a few years to let go of all the reasons why I couldn't add a white pair of jeans in my wardrobe. Six years later, I now own two pairs: one skinny and one boot cut. And I absolutely LOVE them!
Here are the most common reasons why women are afraid of white jeans:
They will highlight my lumps and bumps.
They can only be worn three months of the year, so why invest in them?
They are for the younger women and I'm no longer in that age range.
They will show my underwear.
They will get ruined upon first wear.
And the #1 reason…
They will make me look fat.
Now, let's all just decide that the reasons above are no longer valid because they aren't.
Here are the top reasons why white jeans ROCK:
Color (or lack thereof): they work with every pattern or shade.
They lighten up the look of any dark top or jacket, paired with a beautifully rich fall/winter colored flats and a trench coat for that crisp autumn night.
White is the ultimate neutral and can be dressed up with a blazer or dressed down with a casual shirt or sweater.
Not sure what style is best for you?
Here are my top 8 tips for finding the best splurge-worthy pair to add to your closet essentials.
Fit is key. They must not be too tight. Always error on the looser side when it comes to light colored pants and jeans.
Find a thick denim with some spandex for stretch for smoothing out any areas.
To slim out the leg, opt for a lighter colored, not overly chunky shoe. A slight heel or wedge always helps you out.
Any color worn head to toe is slimming and this year's white-on-white trend is still perfect. Top with a colorful or patterned blazer or sweater for a pop of color, which helps to ground the outfit.
If you're full-figured, the bootcut is always your friend. Pair with a hip-length loose top to balance out the bottom half.
If you are petite, try out a skinny leg option (ankle or full length). To elongate the legs, try tucking in your top (at least in the front)xx -j

Pilot projects for better outreach
Since 2013, we have been conducting field tests in seven Asian and African countries (India, Bangladesh, Cameroon, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Zambia), in collaboration with ten partners involved in various fields (NGOs, cooperatives and SMEs).
These tests have not only indicated that there is a high demand for our products among consumers and partners, but have also helped to define the necessary steps for large-scale distribution, particularly with regard to the integrated micro-financing tool and demonstrating the economic viability of the process.
An innovative progressive payment system
An adequate micro-financing tool is definitely a key success factor for large-scale distribution and ensuring a strong socio-economic impact.
OOLUX includes a progressive payment management system, allowing sales of the product through three distribution levels. The payment system is deployed in Cameroon via the Solar Square project with our partner, Solafrica.
- Client: OOLUX is activated for a period corresponding to the amount of payment made. The information is recorded in the computer system.
- Seller: a smartphone application is used to activate OOLUX, which sends sales information to the web portal.
- Distributor: the web portal associated with the OOLUX application allows the user to track sales in real time.
Our partners
The programme has received financial support from the Symphasis Foundation, the Swiss Confederation through REPIC – its programme aimed at promoting renewable energies in the context of international cooperation – the NEXANS Foundation, the City of Geneva and the Republic and District of Geneva.
Since 2015, we have been running a distribution programme together with our partner Solafrica in Cameroon.
Many other partners offer their support at various levels (technical, design, assembly, strategy, etc), including Bern University of Applied Sciences (BFH), Flink, CSS Group, PRO Entreprise Sociale, RAVInvest, MSD Consulting, Caritas Switzerland and E3 Associates.

the overwhelming response we got in Vitafoods Europe

technology platforms such as Quick Penetrating Formula
(QPF) for topical formulations, Matrix technology for
the sustained release nutraceuticals, Supra Bio-available
Nutrients (SBN) for lipid soluble nutrients and LiquiCap
