Mondelez International Achieves 100 Percent Palm Oil Sustainability Milestone Two Years Early
DEERFIELD, Ill., Jan. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Mondelez International, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDLZ) announced today that it achieved Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) coverage for 100 percent of the palm oil it bought in 2013. This is two years ahead of the company's existing commitment to cover all requirements by 2015 through a combination of RSPO-certified oil and Greenpalm certificates that support sustainable production.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121003/MM86695LOGO)
"Achieving 100 percent RSPO is an important milestone toward our long-term commitment to only buy palm oil that's produced on legally held land, doesn't lead to deforestation or loss of peat land, respects human rights, including land rights, and doesn't use forced or child labor," said Dave Brown, Vice President of Global Commodities and Strategic Sourcing. "We recognize the need to go further, so we've also challenged our palm oil suppliers to provide transparency on the levels of traceability in their palm oil supply chains. Knowing the sources of palm oil supplies is an essential first step to enable scrutiny and promote improvements in practice on the ground."
In the first months of this year, Mondelez International will review results from suppliers and publish an action plan during the second quarter 2014 to give priority to supplies that meet the company's sustainability principles, and eliminate supplies that do not, by 2020 at the latest.
The company's work in palm oil is part of a wider commitment to sustainably source key agricultural commodities. Its 10-year, $600 million investments in signature programs Cocoa Life and Coffee Made Happy are helping farmers create thriving communities, while Harmony, its successful European wheat sourcing program, is promoting biodiversity and good environmental practices. For more information, please see Mondelez International's position statement on palm oil on its corporate website: http://bit.ly/1b3zd95.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Lots of street improvements coming
Residents of Elmwood have identified the state of city streets and local traffic routes as important issues that need to be addressed. Now that construction season has begun in earnest, some key projects are particularly welcome.
Elmwood residents will be pleased to know that the province is investing $5 million in the Molson Street Twinning Project. Work will begin this summer and will reconstruct Molson and Panet Road between Munroe Avenue and Concordia Avenue.
I was pleased to attend the announcement with the premier and Rossmere MLA Erna Braun, Radisson MLA Bidhu Jha, and Concordia MLA Matt Wiebe as well as Dr. Thomas Turgeon of the Concordia Hip & Knee Institute, which is located on Molson.
Molson, a major thoroughfare in northeast Winnipeg, will become a much-needed four-lane divided roadway and will include bike lanes in both directions. These upgrades will help with traffic flow and will be completed next year. Residents of the northeast quadrant will experience smoother and safer drives.
The funding for the Molson twinning project is a welcome announcement, along with the $14 million the province is investing in 47 other streets this year. Many additional streets that my neighbours and I often travel are being upgraded.
They are: Watt Street, Brazier Street, Dunrobin Avenue and Frasers Grove in Elmwood, Kildare Avenue and Walden Crescent in Transcona, and Grandview Street and Irving Place. The changes to these residential and commercial areas are welcome improvements to our critical infrastructure.
Yes, there are more than a few streets that are in need of repair, and we hope the city will be able to repair them sooner rather than later. The city prioritizes road repair based on criteria such as attendant sewer and water issues, so we leave it to them to establish the priorities.
Manitoba families depend on safe and well-maintained roads. Our government is investing in projects like these through the Manitoba Building and Renewal Plan. The well-being of our residential communities and the businesses that serve them depend, in part, on enhancements made to the streets and roads that connect us.
The recent provincial budget more than doubles the level of provincial funding available to repair residential streets. This amount is now $14 million, up from $7 million. Northeast Winnipeg is a priority and I thank the province for meeting our needs.

Christmas and New Year are one of the most anticipated holidays for youth world over.
There is some hope for the LGBT community in the recent Supreme Court judgment despite it spreading gloom among them by upholding the validity of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code.
Clinical psychologist Pulkit Sharma, who is treating a gay teen, says that most parents "entertain a hope that sexual orientation can be changed" and the verdict will reinforce the idea that homosexuality is an aberration.
Author Vikram Seth, who has been vocal about his views since the Supreme Court verdict recriminalized gay sex last week, on Saturday used the platform of the Rashtrapati Bhavan to slam Section 377.
The Supreme Court verdict upholding an archaic British law criminalising homosexuality has resulted in the legal equivalent of an Alice-in-Wonderland situation.

"Both VHP and SP leaders sit together and hold meeting at Chief Minister's residence, give statement to the media that talks were good and try to vitiate the atmosphere," said BSP general secretary Satish Chandra Misra.
The monthly meeting organised by Dakshina Kannada district police for members of SC/ST community scheduled for March 2 at the office of Superintendent of Police has been cancelled due to preoccupation of police with bandobast for a religious event at Bantwal.

5* Madeira holiday
Vidamar Resort, Funchal
Seven or 10 nights at a stylish Madeira hotel by the sea - includes half-board, 'Dine Around', flights, transfers and spa sessions
Modern and minimalist, the Vidamar Resort serves as a fresh and luxurious observer of the Atlantic Ocean - with its glinting blue panoramic views. Sitting at the ocean's tip on the southern coast of Madeira, it is but moments from central Funchal.
With a tranquil ambience reflected in its whitewashed walls, the design of the hotel sweeps in curved walls that are reminiscent of waves. With the use of high ceilings, panels of glass and natural materials, the calm of nature is translated from the outdoors, indoors.
Within the resort, you'll be able to enjoy views from every room, the luxury spa and fitness centre and the wealth of water sports. A private stretch of beach provides a secret escape (see what we did there?), the infinity pool stretches as if it would drop into the ocean itself and there's a wealth of wining and dining options, including an Irish bar.
Good to know
The hotel operates a 'Dine Around' concept, which means you can dine at any of the five restaurants on-site (including a la carte).
For more information on what's included, please see the offer details below.
Superior Sea-View rooms are spacious with a cool design and minimalistic white and silver décor which adds a real sense of tranquillity and peace. There's also a fabulous sea view and seating area.
- Bathrobes and slippers
- Magnifying mirrors
- Air-conditioning
- Tea making facilities
- Cable TV
- Minibar
- Wi-Fi (payable locally)

At the Vidamar, you'll find not just one but three eateries to choose from, plus an Irish bar and a piano bar. Choose from local and international specialities between the Garden Restaurant, the Ocean Restaurant and the Italian themed 'Mamma Mia's' all with views of the Atlantic. To find out more about the 'dine around' concept, click here.
Situated on Madeira's Southern coast, the hotel is about a 15-minute walk from central Funchal, where you can stroll along the promenades, enjoy the famous cuisine or head down to the water to try a wealth of activities including whale and dolphin watching, sailing, surfing and scuba diving. If the water isn't for you, aren't you lucky that the mountains frame the city and invite you for long, fresh walks? A perfect combination!

Four of us stayed for four nights. The hotel is within easy walking distance of Termini rail and bus station. We caught the Terravision shuttle to and from Fiumicino airport, and the drop off is also at Termini. The streets immediately next to Termini are a bit noisy, but Via Viminale is pleasant. Reception is well located near the doors, and the first impression is very nice. Reception staff speak good English and are very helpful; we asked about tour buses, local restaurants and best days to visit attractions, and were well pleased with the advice we received. The domestic staff were hardworking and meticulous. Staff in the breakfast room were very attentive. Food was constantly replenished, and a wide selection was available.
The hotel was our touring base for visits to the Colosseum, Vatican City, Forum and other sites, and we had a great time.
Our room was spotless, clean towels provided daily, good soundproofing. It overlooked the rear courtyard so there was no street noise.
We certainly recommend the Hotel Impero, and would be delighted to stay there again.

Agave americana (American century plant) does well in Sandy, Medium, or Clay Loam or in Rocky Soil. It is best used in mass or as focal point. It benefits from some extra moisture in very dry conditions, but is very tolerant of heat and xeric conditions. Takes light shade better than some other agaves. Protect from teen winter temperatures to avoid damage. Keep mature width of plant in mind when placing in the landscape to avoid sharp leaf tip spines.

Over the past two decades, the tiny alt hip-hop label Stones Throw Records has grown to establish itself as one of the most influential and talented record labels in the industry, boasting a roster that features Madlib, MF Doom, J Dilla, Dam-Funk, Aloe Blacc, and more.
Co-founded by Peanut Butter Wolf in 1996, the independent label has quietly provided opportunity for some of the most influential sounds in the music industry. The new documentary, Our Vinyl Weighs a Ton, investigates this phenomenon through footage and interviews with the likes of Kanye West, Common, MF Doom, Madlib, and, of course, Peanut Butter Wolf—and through this exploration, it examines the past 18 years of music and culture surrounding Stones Throw.
Here, Noisey is happy to provide an exclusive look at the first 5:45 minutes of the film, giving you a taste of what's to come. To learn more, read our interview with director Jeff Broadway and Peanut Butter Wolf.

A risk factor is something that increases your likelihood of getting a disease or condition.
It is possible to develop CAD with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing CAD. Some risk factors can't be changed, but many can. Talk to your doctor about how you can reduce the number of risk factors you have.
Certain lifestyle factors may increase your risk of atherosclerosis, which can lead to CAD. These include:
These conditions put you are at greater risk of developing CAD:
Genetics are believed to play a role in risk factors that lead to CAD. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, and other conditions are tied to your family history. The risk increases when combined with other unhealthy lifestyle choices.
Men tend to develop atherosclerosis earlier the women. However, a woman's risk increases with the onset ofmenopause.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in both men and women.
Recent research has found an association between levels of certain amino acids or proteins in the blood and the risk of developing CAD. These include:
Clinicians have not yet recommended widespread screening for these levels since they are not sure that these tests will add benefit to those already in place for the general population. Talk to your doctor to see if these blood tests will benefit you.
Your risk of CAD increases as you get older. Men older than 45 and women older than 55 (younger in cases of premature menopause) are at greater risk of heart disease.
African Americans have a higher incidence of hypertension than Caucasians and, therefore, a higher risk of developing CAD. Heart disease risk is also higher among Mexican Americans, American Indians, native Hawaiians, and some Asian Americans.

Thats awful, my thoughts are with the family.
I know it is not as "dramatic" as other deaths at WDW but I still think it is sad and my prayers go out to the man's family.
P.S. It doesn't have very many details.
Guest dies at Magic Kingdom, Disney News - WDWINFO.COM
Thats awful, my thoughts are with the family.
"Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy"
If I read that correctly, it looks like 2 people recently died? The 72 year old gentleman and then a lady who fell off a platform at AK?
That is very sad, but I do hope I am still enjoying WDW at age 72.
Dreams Really Do Come True
Yeah, I heard about this. Sad. I saw in another article that he "lost is balance" though, not fell. Same thing I gess.
I actually heard that three people died at Disney this past month...the cast member, the man that fell and a man that died of a heart attack on a bus going to the MK.
How sad
Summer '83-Off Site
Dec '95- Shades Of Green
March '03-All Star Movies
March '06-All Star Movies
October '07-POFQ
March '10-POFQ
March '13 POFQ
June/July '14-not sure where yet!
There has been another death recently. On Dec. 4th, a 71 year old man died of a heart attack on a Disney bus en route to the Magic Kingdom.
Here's a link: Orlando Sentinel - Third death at Disney: heart attack on a bus by Beth Kassab
My prayers go out to the families of these 3 people.

2009 & 2010 WDW Half Marathons, 2009 Disneyland Half Marathon,
Next Visit to the World: March '09 for Princess Half Marathon Weekend?
3 deaths in one month, that is horrible! For the 2 old men it was there time to go and for the CM, she wasn't thinking when she went where she wasn't suppose to go.
Come on people, people die every day. No I am not heartless, and while sad, why make a big deal out of it just because they died at Disney.
We would never heard of the man falling and the man having a heart attack on a bus if it was in East Oshkosh.
thoughts and prayers go out to all the family and friends!

If you are a backpacker looking for a cheap bed for a reasonable price this is exactly what you get. If you are looking for more than this pay more elsewhere.
Bathroom, kitchen and living room was great and the breakfast as well.
breakfast are nice
not far from Spain palace, many budget cafes near the hotel, friendly staff
Location: - very close to the Bus station for comming from the airport and outgoing to the city - close to the Metro station, - close to the main square (Plaza Espanya) -
Staw woman was kind and help more then I expested.after my pasport money credit cards was robe aut of the hotel she take me to police and borow me her money
the location - once we found it after walking around for 45 minutes as it was located in an apartment building next to a main roadway that even our taxi cab driver could not find. There are nice restaurants nearby, but wish we had gone elsewhere as this was not money well spent...

The funding round, led by Australian telecom giant Telstra, is aimed at expanding Ooyala's global operations.
Ooyala's Mountain View, California, office.
Digital video platform Ooyala has a U.S. address, but big global reach. Now it's getting some guidance, and lots of cash, from an overseas investor.
The Mountain View, California, start-up announced on Monday that it has raised $35 million in a series E funding round led by Telstra, Australia's largest telecommunications company.
In addition to making a capital investment, Telstra added its media director, Gary Traver, to Ooyala's board of advisors, and has begun negotiating a commercial agreement that make Telstra one of Ooyala's largest customers and resellers.
With the infusion of capital and access to Telstra's numerous international properties, Ooyala plans to bring its video streaming and analytics solutions to more international customers.
More than half of Ooyala's business come from outside the U.S., and the Silicon Valley company says it has quadrupled revenues since its last funding round in September 2010.

(As told to MMC Editor Jeff Westover, September 2011)
Carla was the strongest woman I had ever known.
I once saw her take on a snarling mechanic who attempted to force a brake job on her that she didn't need. Carla wasn't a big lady but when she got her back up you didn't want to cross her. That mechanic learned that the hard way.
So as we sat there in the doctor's office it came as no surprise to me that she took the news with her chin out and her shoulders squared. Any other person would have withered in the face of such devastating news. The doctor was giving her less than three months.
Cancer is terrible and Carla had been fighting it in one form or another for nearly a decade. It began with a lump in her breast back in 2000 that rocked her world tremendously. She experienced the whole thing: the shock, the surgery, the chemo and the radiation. And she emerged triumphant.
Before long she was running in the "Race for the Cure" as a survivor, enlisting all her family and friends to join with her. I was there for that and it was a moment I would never forget.
So when the new pains began just a mere 9 months after being declared yet again "cancer free" I knew I had to be there -- again. It started as as stomach ache like anyone would get but it led, thanks to her cancer-riddled medical history, to a battery of tests that revealed really bad news: stage four pancreatic cancer.
Carla and I worked together. We drove school buses for years, alternating shifts, her in the morning and me in the afternoon. We became friends one cold winter day when nothing could move in a storm and we had to hunker down with the kids at school to wait out a storm.
From then on we would meet occasionally between morning and afternoon shifts for lunch. That led to dinner together occasionally and before we knew it we were doing things together like sisters often do: we shopped, we swapped recipes, we talked family gossip and we celebrated holidays together.
There are too many memories to count. Her good sense of humor and energy never failed to raise my subdued spirits. She was an extrovert and I'm terminally shy -- a match made in heaven, it seems, that led to periodic episodes of laughter and tears.
Carla was there for me for some big events. When my husband left me for another woman, Carla saw me through it and gave me the fight I needed for the divorce. When I remarried she was right beside me. As my kids graduated high school and suffered from their teen drama Carla was a voice of reason that kept me from going insane. And when I suffered my own medical emergency she took charge in nearly every respect -- and I'm certain she saved my life.
I wish to God I could have saved hers. Instead I was the one who fell apart and it was Carla once again scraping me up off the floor, a big puddle of goo gone limp at the terrible news.
But that was her way -- so very strong, so very much in charge and so very possessed of vision that nobody else seemed to have.
Her greatest wish -- her 90-day bucket list -- included spending as much time with her grandkids as she could in the time that remained. And she didn't want to die at Christmas. She received the word in late June -- how could she possibly make it until after Christmas?
If I were in her shoes I would make an hour-by-hour plan for the full 90 days and then make my bed and crawl in it. But not Carla. Her list seemed endless.
The first thing she did was take her grandkids and their families to Disneyland. They had done it before but Carla didn't want to do it at the last minute. She didn't want to do Disneyland in a wheelchair with an oxygen tank. She took on Disneyland under her own power -- two whole days that drained and delighted her.
She came home and slept for three days. Then got out of bed and came back into work.
I couldn't believe it. Why work anymore?
But work for Carla was medicine. She figured as long as she could do it she would because work was ultimately living.
As the summer days turned to fall, and in my mind the clock ticking ever faster, we started doing what we usually did: getting ready for the holidays.
Carla's greatest love was Christmas but she also knew how to really celebrate Halloween. Her costumes were legendary. She once wore a witch's costume with a giant wart on her nose she made from silly putty and oatmeal. With her green make-up and changed voice she scared the kids plenty trying to get onto her bus. Not a one of them recognized her and she delighted in giving them a hard time, especially a pesky 11-year old boy who was usually very rowdy. She gave him a swat on the behind with her broom and warned him she'd give him a ride on it if he so much as talked to another person on her bus. She called it the greatest bus ride of her life.
Halloween came and went and the blustery days of fall led to Thanksgiving at my house. Carla didn't eat much and was getting weaker, we could tell. But she stood there in the kitchen with me mixing gravy like only she could and putting too much brown sugar on the yams, which she knew drives me crazy.
The first week of December things seemed to progress rapidly. Carla became dehydrated and went into the hospital. She was thin as a rail and looking frail but the sparkle in her eye told me she wasn't yet ready to go. From her hospital bed she filled out her Christmas cards, taking care to write to her daughter living 2000 miles away to let her know she was not dying.
Sure enough, after 12 days in the hospital Carla came home and we celebrated a wonderful Christmas together, as we always do.
I have to admit that the pressure of it all got to me. I was just waiting for Carla to die. But Carla just kept on going, defying the odds and making me feel guilty for thinking each week would bring about the end.
We went Christmas caroling, something we had only done once before, and on a whim we visited the home of Carla's old neighbor, a man I found especially grating. In my mind, Carla was seeking forgiveness and redemption because she never spoke well of the man and, in fact, had exchanged testy words with him over the years. But as we walked with the group up to this man's front porch Carla hung back.
The man came out and gave a grumpy "Merry Christmas" then he turned his back to walk into his house. Then out of the blue, over the heads of everyone standing in front of her, Carla launched a snowball that hit the man squarely on the shoulder. I heard a gasp from the group before I heard an enthusiastic "Got him!" from Carla, who was jumping aruond like she had just won the Super Bowl.
Christmas came and went. I left town to visit family over New Year's weekend and when I came back for work there was Carla, behind the wheel, grinning from ear to ear. We caught up, munching on carrots as I started my new diet, and I finally asked her; "What in the world are you doing here?"
"I'm not done living," Carla said. "Dying is for wimps."
In late January I had a tragic surprise: my mother died unexpectedly. I was unprepared for this event and Carla did everything, despite her own pain or weakness. As we looked upon my dead mother at her viewing she put her arm around me and she said, "That's not her, you know." Smiling, I knew what she meant. And, oh, how I loved her for saying that to me.
The weeks and months ahead flew by. Carla, though it was clear she wasn't 100 percent every day, soldiered on. Summer began and so too did our talk of vacation. This year Carla wanted to take the grandkids camping.
Two days before we were to go I received a call from Carla's husband from the hospital. Carla was passing blood. I rushed over there expecting to see a weakened friend and maybe a frightened spirit but such was not the case. Such was never the case. Carla was barking orders and insisting on "being done here" so that she could get on with vacation.
We went. Carla hiked, helped pitch the tent and slept on the ground. If she was in pain nobody ever knew it.
From the 4th of July through Labor Day we did everything and then some. Night and day my phone would ring. "Whatcha doing?" Carla would ask -- as if nothing was wrong.
School began again and once again Carla was there behind the wheel. Nothing could keep her down.
She asked me to go to the doctor again at the end of September, afraid that the news would be worse this time. The doctor performed a series of tests, ordered an MRI and evaluated everything thoroughly. The news was worse than ever.
Before long Carla had trouble eating and keeping food down. I finally started to see her weaken and one day she told me to "tell the boss to call a sub" for her. She couldn't make herself quit her job.
By the end of October Carla was in a wheelchair, handing out treats to ghosts and goblins on Halloween. One insensitive little boy, seeing Carla only in a wheelchair and not wearing a Halloween costume as she usually did, asked: "What are you supposed to be? A dead person?" Carla winced just a little and said "If I were dead I'd haunt you every day for the rest of your natural life."
Over Thanksgiving weekend Carla was back in the hospital. She had, after all, beaten her three-month deadline by well over a year. What more in miracles could we ask for?
i went to visit Carla on Thanksgiving night and she had to speak to me through a mask. Her breathing was difficult and talking was possible but not easy. I fell apart right in front of her and I saw her ball up her fist and slam it down on the bed in anger.
I did all I could to stifle my tears and grief. Such suffering for a beloved friend was simply more than I could endure.
I reached down to give her a hug and she grabbed at my blouse, catching the collar and pulling me close. "Take off this mask," she asked me. I did and she pulled me down again and gave me a kiss. "Don't you dare let them kill me before Christmas." she told me. That was all she had energy to say and her eyes pleaded with me to promise.
I searched silently for an answer to what she was talking about. And then it hit me. I couldn't stop the forward progression of her disease. It was relentless. But I could make Christmas happen. And I could make it right now.
I called her daughter at home and told her to pack up every bit of Christmas decorations that Carla had in the house. At my own home, where we were decorated for Christmas already, I called my husband and told him to take everything down and to pack it up -- including the tree. I told him it was an emergency and to bring it all to the hospital.
They had moved Carla into a hospice care room, with subdued lighting and more room than usual to allow families of terminally ill patients space to be with their loved ones.
Within a few hours we had everyone there -- Carla's husband, children and grandchildren, her sister and another neighbor as well as my kids and my husband. Within short order we had the room sparkling with Christmas, with Carla's favorite Nativity placed on the table closest to her head.
Carla asked for the bed to be adjusted so she could see the room. She managed a feeble smile with tears in her eyes. "You did it, baby" she said to me. "You did it."
For hours we sat together -- all of us, more than 15 people in the room -- and we talked about Christmas. There were tears aplenty but not tears of grief. They were tears of Christmas memory cherished and of love shared.
It was the purest feeling of Christmas I have ever experienced, though not a gift was opened and not a song was sung.
It grew very late and the little ones were starting to fuss. One by one Carla took them into her arms and kissed them goodbye. They didn't know but the rest of us knew what it meant. It was a sacred moment to behold.
As others prepared to say their last goodbyes I started to panic. Just as I had experienced in losing my mother I feared I was unprepared for these last moments with Carla. I thought she would like some private time with her husband so I took her hand one last time. She turned her head to me and said, "Don't say goodbye...just say Merry Christmas."
So there I sat with her, her left hand clasped in mine, her right hand clasped by her husband's. We sat with her for a long time amidst the glow of the Christmas lights she loved so much. She drifted away at some point, unable to speak any further. Within hours, she breathed her last and was gone.
The nurses told us we could take all the time we wanted. But our time was well spent. Max, Carla's husband, said it was enough and they came and took Carla's body away after a while. He hugged me tight and thanked me, telling me how much I meant to Carla. And then he left and I was alone with my husband.
And that was when I finally lost it. I mean I really lost it, crying a well of tears that had built up for nearly a year and half over the loss of Carla, my dear friend. My husband, ever my best friend, stayed with me, and held me -- saying nothing but saying everything at the same time. The sun was just starting to lighten the sky outside of the windows but I did not have the heart to turn off the lights and start taking down the decorations.
So there I sat. We were quiet for some time when I felt it -- a sweet, peaceful reassurance that all was well. I couldn't see anything but I could feel Carla's presence near by. It was as powerful as any breeze I have ever felt and a rush of love came over me as I heard the words again in my mind...
