Hello...thank you for the feedback. We do try our best to keep up on our inventory, but sometimes we do run out certain things. We also make al effort to communicate with our customers when we have to make a substitution. We did have to use a different container, as I mentioned when we visited on the phone, and we did add a bit more candy to your order than was pictured. Apologies if this was not communicated to you in a better way.

As they've done for decades, Crismon provided a STUNNING arrangement. I HATE when I HAVE to call Crismon's, because it usually means a funeral, but the compassion they put in their arrangements, is unparalleled. (My family has used Crismon's since the 80's)

Hi Melinda..Sometimes we do have to substitute a little...it is hard to have every flower every day, so we had to use the smaller alstromeria lilies in place of the larger lilies, but we did add some extra stems so it would look fuller. I hope your boss enjoyed the flowers. We appreciate the order and thanks for taking time to post this review.

Three of the four managers convicted were given suspended prison terms and the fourth was ordered to pay a fine.
Another four employees of the Skyguide firm were cleared of any wrongdoing.
Prosecutors had said a "culture of negligence" at the firm contributed to the mid-air collision, which killed mostly Russian children.
The charter aircraft carrying Russian children to a holiday in Spain collided with a cargo plane in Swiss airspace on 1 July 2002. The wreckage came down in Germany.
'Organisational deficiencies'
All eight men on trial had maintained their innocence. Seven had continued working for Skyguide until the time of the verdict.
The BBC's Imogen Foulkes, in Berne, says it is significant that the four Skyguide employees acquitted were all air traffic controllers - rather than managers.
She says this shows the judges backed the prosecution's view that the managers at Skyguide were responsible for introducing negligent, potentially dangerous working practices.
Two separate investigations have already found what were described as organisational deficiencies within Skyguide. These deficiencies were said to have contributed to the accident.
Controller stabbed
The trial revealed that minutes before the crash a single air traffic controller was in charge of 15 planes: He made 118 radio contacts with them, and he was guiding a plane into land.
Technical repairs were being carried out and some radar systems were not working.
The air traffic controller in question was later stabbed and killed by the father of two of the children who died.
At the time, Skyguide insisted that having just one air traffic controller on duty was normal - but it has since outlawed the practice, and provided financial compensation to some of the bereaved families.
What are these?

As a consequence of technological advancement, a man was in a position to produce matches and explosives. The matches meant are ignites. Sometimes, smokers go into bushes to smoke which generally out of mistake the ignited matchstick fall from their hands. When the lighted matchsticks catch fireplace, the bush becomes burnt. This affects the agricultural merchandise because the micro-organisms which can be to help after cultivation of crops are being burnt or killed by warmth from bush burning.
As soon as an individual purchases an iPod, their decoded purchases an iPod, the individual may meet people who even have an iPod and then proceed to bop with them. This is very unrealistic, though many people who succumb to this dominant-hegemonic position are led on this method as a way to buy an iPod. Since China has a few of the extreme legal guidelines about corruption, it is going to be arduous for them to be a constructive pressure after they act like, or play down the illicit resource extraction and corruption in Mozambique, and the Authoritarian governance in China.

aiadmk, bal thackeray, congress, dmk, intra-party democracy, j jayalalithaa, m karunanidhi, mg ramachandran, mns, ncp, raj thackeray, sharad pawar, shiv sena, Sonia Gandhi, strong state, uddhav thackeray, weak centre
The Parliamentary system of India allows for multiple political parties, catering to multiple aspirations, to take part in any election and represent varying ideologies and beliefs. Indian politicians and political analysts as well, often celebrate the vibrancy of India's multiple party politics. Various parties have been formed out of and merged with existing ones, for reasons ranging from personal rivalries, factionalism and ideology.
Ideally, a multi-party system is democracy in its true form, as it means that every sizeable voter group's aspirations can be represented. One or two parties can never do justice to the needs and wants of all sections of society, especially in a country as diverse as India. Let's take a look at a few parties that launched after Independence to cater to specific sections of voters who needed some kind of representation or voice at the time.
Shiv Sena
To fight for the pride of Mumbai's Marathi population and ensure employment for locals
Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK)
To stand for Tamil pride and fuel secessionist demands for a South Indian Nation
Bhartiya Jan Sangh (now Bhartiya Janata Party)
To promote Hindu nationalism and oppose minority appeasement politics of the Congress
The parties mentioned above are few political outfits which actually started out with a mission in mind. This is not to justify their ideologies, but to point out that they were indeed committed to their beliefs. Now lets have a look at other parties that launched after Independence because of personal rivalries and factionalism, sometimes under the garb of ideology.
Shiv Sena was split by Raj Thackeray to form a new party Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, because Bal Thackeray chose his son Uddhav, over Raj to lead the party.
Indian National Congress was split by Sharad Pawar to form the Nationalist Congress Party, under the pretext of not allowing a foreign born (Sonia Gandhi) to lead the INC. Clearly Mr Pawar wanted more importance in the party which was denied to him by the elevation of Sonia Gandhi as party President.
M.G. Ramachandran split the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam because of his differences with M Karunanidhi, then CM of Tamil Nadu and leader of the DMK., to form the All Indian Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam.
The Shiv Sena & MNS have the same ideology , the same voter base and a similar party structure. The same goes for DMK & AIADMK and INC & NCP.
This shows that many of the multiple parties are products of inflated egos of disgruntled party leaders who had ambitions which could not be satisfied inside the parent parties. This splitting business has only resulted in a fractured mandate in elections and increasingly difficult-to-handle coalition governments, without any real representation of the people. What is worse about these personality-based splitting factions is that because the background of their formation, the leader can make the new party his or her family business.
As a result of this mess, the multi-party system has turned on India's democracy and made it a Quasi-monarchy, with each political family running its own fiefdom. These parties use their goons to solve petty, local problems and buy the loyalty of the poor voter using either money or muscle power. They win regional elections and also Lok Sabha seats which arms them with a bargaining power over the Central Government. They become what I call small scale Kingmakers. In a Federal Union, there is nothing wrong with having a weak centre and strong state units. The problem arises when these states begin to lose sight of national interests and the greater good.
To my mind, there is no doubt that a multi-party system is the true form of democracy. However, when we allow personality-centric parties to flourish, rather than ideology-based, true representation of the people goes for a toss. The leader is portrayed as the solution to people's problems, rather than policies.
One way to ensure that parties are not split by disgruntled leaders is to make sure that every political party has a functioning intra-party democracy and intra-party anti-corruption mechanisms. To some extent, this will prevent elected representatives from being bought over by a rebelling leader and also allow him a democratic way of expressing his discomfort within the party. Presently, these measures can only be written about in articles like these as the political class is happy with the way things are run in this country. As they are the ones who have the power to change the system, it would be foolish to expect them to destroy their own comfort zones.


text: (Bloomberg Opinion) -- At her confirmation hearing at the European Parliament last week, Ursula von der Leyen, outlined a set of political guidelines for the new Commission that she will soon be chairing. The presentation included a separate section entitled, "A stronger Europe in the world," summarizing her aspirations for the European Union's external action. Conspicuously absent from her brief was any reference to Turkey, an important neighbor and a candidate country. .This omission is testimony to the current dilemma facing EU policy makers. The relationship with Turkey has been allowed to degrade to such an extent that even top policy makers prefer to steer away from this difficult topic. As a result, the relations are now almost exclusively colored by mutual reactionism..Despite being a candidate country, Turkey's accession negotiations are blocked. Visa-liberalization talks are going nowhere. Pre-accession assistance is being significantly reduced. New funding for the next phase of the refugee deal is uncertain. And last week the EU decided on downscaling the political dialogue and suspending negotiations on an aviation agreement as a reaction to Turkey's drilling in the contested waters of the Eastern Mediterranean. .This last set of measures is a good illustration of Brussels' strategic blindness. They do just enough to please domestic constituents, the member states, but not enough to compel the desired behavior change in Ankara. As a result, the measures will only help to enrich the list of mutual grievances with no impact on policy..A concatenation of reactions doesn't make policy. Von der Leyen's priorities should include a frank stock-taking on the relations with Turkey. Her challenge will be to devise a smart engagement policy with a country unable to deliver on political reforms and improve the rule of law. .And yet Turkey remains firmly attached to its democratic traditions, as illustrated by the outcome of the local elections this year, where the political opposition made significant gains, taking over the local rule in nine of the 10 largest provinces..The new Commission should start with the premise that Europe must rapidly demonstrate a sense of strategic initiative and responsibility to re-anchor Turkey at a time when Ankara is increasingly drifting away from its partners in the West. Turkey is now exposed not only to EU strictures but also to U.S. sanctions on account of its recent acquisition of an air and ballistic missile defense system from Russia. .This requires a creative re-engineering of the EU's frame of relations with Turkey. The accession framework should remain in place to pre-empt another round of toxic and inconclusive deliberations. But it will need to be complemented by an additional framework of cooperation, with two pillars..The first pillar involves the upgrading of the trading relationship. Turkey is the only economy of significance that has a customs union with the EU. This arrangement was negotiated back in 1995 and is in dire need of a modernization that would involve an enlargement of its scope to services, public procurement and possibly agriculture, as well as the revision of its dysfunctional system of dispute settlement. Even though the Commission forwarded a mandate for the start of these negotiations to the Council in December 2016, member states have so far refrained from giving it the green light, apparently for political considerations. .This attitude is ultimately self-defeating for the EU. In the absence of any tangible prospect for the resumption of the accession talks, the rejuvenation of the customs union is the sole politically realistic path of consequential engagement with Turkey. The customs union is also the only option to reconstruct a rules-based framework with Turkey, away from the trap of pure transactionalism..The second pillar should target Turkish society with initiatives to ease mobility and access to Community programs. The EU should at least implement a program of visa waivers for groups of Turkish citizens like journalists, artists, students and business people. At present, Turkey is the EU's only European neighbor facing serious visa obstacles. The EU should also re-invest the financial resources stripped from the pre-accession funding to Community programs like Erasmus to allow for a much larger pool of young Turks to study in Europe..As the chair of the new Commission, Von der Leyen will have an opportunity to redress Europe's relationship with Turkey. She can only succeed if European governments are ready to acknowledge that the EU's current reactive policy on Turkey is a failure that, left unchanged, will lead to more acrimony and confrontation with Ankara..To contact the editor responsible for this story: Bobby Ghosh at email@example.com column does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the editorial board or Bloomberg LP and its owners..©2019 Bloomberg L.P.
