So how can you know who the real Jesus was (and is)especially when so many people are working to prove him to be a fake or a fraud? Thats what Lee Strobel wanted to know. As a former journalistand a former atheistLee went on an investigative journey to discover the real Jesus, one that took him across the continent and into the homes of todays most prominent experts on Christian history. He found all the evidence he needed to believe that the Jesus is indeed the Risen Savior. Join Lees investigation and discover the truth about Jesus for yourself.

Gionta Scores 2 as Canadiens beat Red Wings, 5-3
MONTREAL (AP) — The Canadiens almost let the game get away.
With a three-goal lead going into the final period, Montreal conceded three straight goals to Detroit — including two in a span of 36 seconds — before recovering for the win.
Brian Gionta scored his second goal of the game late in the third period to give the surging Canadiens a 5-3 victory over the Red Wings on Saturday night.
Michael Bournival, Max Pacioretty and Alex Galchenyuk also scored for Montreal, while Carey Price made 34 saves. The Canadiens are now 10-2-0 in its last 12 games.
"That's proof that there's a lot of character on this team," Montreal forward Michael Bournival said. "We've done this a few times this year. Even if we concede three straight goals, we're able to bounce back. We knew the Red Wings never give up. They had us on our heels to start the third, but we got back on our feet."
Pavel Datsyuk scored his 16th of the year at 5:11 of the third on the power play, and Luke Glendening reduced the deficit again at 5:47 on a soft backhand shot that Price got a piece of but couldn't keep out.
Niklas Kronwall tied it up for Detroit midway through the period, beating Price with a slap shot from the point, through traffic, on the man advantage.
Instead of keeling over, however, the Canadiens answered Kronwall's game-tying goal with renewed energy.
"At that point, you just reset, and go back to what made you successful in the first half of the game," Gionta said. "You have to make sure you don't lose that momentum. It's much easier at home, when you have the crowd. You build some momentum off of them. You make a good play, and things start to snowball the right way again."
Jonas Gustavsson finished with 19 saves for Detroit, which snapped a four-game win streak.
"We have to be better than we were tonight," Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "We've been on a good run here where we play hard. I didn't think there was a problem with our energy or our commitment to working hard tonight. We didn't execute well enough with the puck."
With the score tied 3-all, Gionta was credited with his second goal of the game when his shot, which was initially saved by Gustavsson, bounced off defenseman Brian Lashoff's skate and into the net. Galchenyuk added a fifth for the Canadiens two minutes later.
Montreal remained in second place in the Atlantic, four points clear of division-rival Tampa Bay, which lost on Saturday.
Despite the loss, the Red Wings are holding on to the first of two wild-card spots in the East.
Montreal opened the scoring when Bournival got his seventh of the year — and first in 37 games — with 5:44 left in the first period.
The rookie got the play going, intercepting the puck in the neutral zone before feeding Ryan White at the blue line. White held off defenseman Kyle Quincey and took a weak backhand shot on Gustavsson, who kicked the puck straight to a wide-open Bournival.

Click here to print the obituary below
Ian MacPherson
MACPHERSON, G.R. Ian, BA, MA, PhD
Emeritus Professor of History,
Specialist in Co-operative Studies Director,
Co-operative Initiative for Peace and Social Inclusion
July 6, 1939 - November 16, 2013
Loving husband, father, grandfather, and uncle. Generous friend. National Historian. Local, National and International Co-operator. Dog lover, bird watcher. Life-long Blue Jays fan.
Ian grew up on a farm in Spencerville, ON that was ripe with McIntosh apples, and earned his BA in History at the University of Windsor (1960). He taught high school in Streetsville ON where he met his wife Elizabeth.
Ian earned his MA and PhD in History at the University of Western Ontario. In 1976, after teaching at the University of Winnipeg and in London England, Ian moved his young family to Victoria BC, where he started a long and successful career at the University of Victoria. He served as the Chairman of the UVIC Department of History 1981-1989. He was the UVIC Dean of Humanities 1992-1999. Through his national/international presence, creation of new courses, and teaching and learning from his thousands of students, Ian left a huge mark on the UVIC campus. The last of Ian's published books was a rich history of UVIC, celebrating its 50th anniversary.
Co-operatives and Credit Unions were Ian's passion. His book "Each for All" is widely considered as the definitive early history of co-operatives in Canada. He served on numerous Co-operative and Credit Union boards. He was the founding president of the Canadian Co-operative Association; served on the board of the International Co-operative Alliance; and chaired the process and wrote the background documents for the International Co-operative Alliance's Statement of Co-operative Identity. They impact over 800 million Co-operators around the world.
In 2005 he was awarded the International Co-operative Alliance Rochdale Pioneer Prize.
As he started to "slow down" he founded the BC Institute for Co-operative Studies, now known as Center for Co-operative and Community-Based Economy, and was Co-director and Principal Investigator of the National Hub of the Canadian Social Economy Research Partnerships funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. This led him to even more national and international friends and connections. Although some modern technology such as cell phones generally frustrated him, Skype and Gmail allowed him to stay continuously connected with the International Co-operative world.
He travelled enthusiastically in the Co-operative name, having been very recently in Japan and Korea, teaching and learning about co-operators. He was welcomed at over 70 countries around the world - and made a great many friends along the way. His sudden death is a sad loss for Co-operators world-wide.
Ian was the last of four boys, and his compassion and care as uncle to seven MacPherson families was limitless.
His love for his two grandchildren, Gabrielle and Ryan, was the one thing Ian couldn't put into words. His precious time with them was pure joy.
His wife and partner of 47 years Elizabeth, two children Andrew (Vanessa) and Jonathan (Charity), grandchildren Gabrielle, Ryan and the soon to be born 'Baby-Mac' are all grateful for the kind wishes after our loss of this great husband, father, grandfather, dog-patter, chess-player, bad-joke-teller, and role model.
Ian passed away suddenly in his new home while getting ready to go out for a walk on his beloved new-found beach. He joins his three brothers [James, Donald and William] and parents [Amelia and James] in a happy place.
Say not in grief he is no more - but live in thankfulness that he was.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 12/10/12
There appears to be a gap between how the Mets value R.A. Dickey and how other teams value him. Hey, that's how the game is played. Now, with Shields and Greinke gone, the Mets would appear to be in a stronger position. Mets general manager Sandy Alderson has asked for such a large package of prospects that some executives have wondered how serious he is about trading him. On the other hand, Alderson has said all along he's simply in a listening mode, that he's also OK with signing Dickey to an extension or beginning the 2013 season with him and allowing the market to play out after that. There probably is a part of Alderson that doesn't want to trade Dickey. He became the face of the Mets last summer, his every start an event. Also, if the Mets hang onto him, their rotation would be solid. But there are holes up and down the roster, and until some of those are filled, the Mets probably won't compete in the NL East. As difficult as it might be for Alderson to deal him, Dickey's valu...

My Java application uses db sessions, via Hibernate.
What I want to do is somehow, when I create a session in my app, is to identify that session as an 'application' session. The reason is that I wish (via a before trigger) to restrict the updates that users can make to a table, while giving the application carte-blanche to do what it likes.
In other words, my trigger does something like this:
if(user is an application)
allow update
raise oracle error
end if
Anyone know the best way to do this?

Market Cap: [Rs.Cr.] 7,223.09 | Face Value: [Rs.] 1
Industry: Fertilizers
Economic scenario
The global economic growth has slowed from 3.9% in 2011 to 3% in 2013 with the US justrecovering from the slump, the European Union (EU) still in nascent stages of recovery andChina slowing from its previous record high growth rates. The factors that have affectedthe global economy have also impacted India and the government has taken multiple fiscaland monetary measures to navigate through this tumultuous period and position the economyfor future growth.
As a result of the measures, the fiscal deficit has been contained to 4.6% of GrossDomestic Product (GDP), the Current Account Deficit (CAD) has been reduced from USD 88billion in 2012-13 to USD 45 billion in 2013-14 and the forex reserves have grown by USD15 billion in 2013-14.
The overall business climate in India is improving with slowing inflation, goodmonsoons and easing economic pressures from the twin deficits. Indias currentaccount deficit has narrowed due to a compression in the trade deficit enabled by higherexport growth and measures taken to curtail gold and other non-essential imports.Complementing the measures to contain the CAD, policy makers have undertaken a host ofmeasures to augment capital flows to target a Balance of Payment (BoP) surplus.
A stable and growing economic environment is much needed to support the growingaspirations of 1.2 billion people. The pro-reform sentiment is strongly in place and thenewly elected Government has highlighted economic development as one of its main focus.With a large proportion of population under the age of 30, this pro-economic Developmentstance by the Government will create an appropriate climate for businesses to invest whichin turn will support job creation and long-term growth. While the industrial sector willcreate additional employment opportunities, the domestic agricultural sector will continueto remain the largest employer in the near term accounting for close to 50% of employment.Institutional forecasts are for a gradual recovery in 2014-15 with GDP growth of 5-6%while managing inflationary pressures.
Industrialization and the growth in services sector will continue to be the catalystbehind urbanization & income growth which will have a significant impact onpeoples consumption pattern. The higher income levels and an urban population basewill influence dietary mix more towards high protein diets, fruits and vegetables. Thisshift will further stress todays arable land and productivity levels will need toincrease to support the increased demand for high quality and high protein food.
Current agricultural productivity in India, both on a per hectare basis and on a perperson basis is low compared to global benchmarks and will need to significantly improveto meet the ever increading demand for food.
Another factor that strongly influences the productivity levels is the imbalanced useof N, P and K fertilisers resulting from highly subsidized Urea. The artificially low Ureaprices that are a result of this skewed policy promotes higher application of Urearelative to P&K fertilisers which not only influences the usage but also increases theoverall subsidy burden on the Government.
The Nutrient Based Subsidy (NBS) policy for P&K fertilisers has had the intendedeffect of increasing the availability of complexes in the marketplace and also reducingthe overall subsidy burden borne by the Government. The extension of the same policy toUrea will bring all nutrients under one subsidy policy and provide the market with acommon framework. The benefits realized by the P&K sector with the introduction of NBSwill become visible in the Urea sector as well.
The food grain production estimate for 2013-14 is over 263 million tons as comparedwith 255 million tons the previous year and this increase has been possible due to thevery good south west monsoons in the year. The overall agricultural GDP growth isestimated at 4.6% as compared with 4% in the previous year.
Better farming practices, mechanization, balanced soil nutrition including addressingmicro-nutrient deficiencies and subsidy recalibration are all required to catapult theagricultural sector to the next level and bring it on par with global benchmarks. Theindustry believes that the Government will embrace and implement the policies required toachieve this goal.
Coromandel is a flagship Company of the Murugappa Group and is a subsidiary of EIDParry (India) Limited (EIDP) which holds 62.56% of the equity share capital in theCompany. The Company is engaged in the business of Farm Inputs comprising of Fertilisers,Crop protection, Specialty Nutrients and Organic compost. The Company is also engaged inrural retail business in the States of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka through a chain of690+ retail centers set up in various parts of these States.

In addition, the Company also holds 14% equity stake in Foskor Pty Ltd, South Africa,through combined holding of Coromandel and CFLMauritius Limited and a 15% equity stake inTIFERT, a strategic investment of the Company to secure supply of Phosphoric acid.
The Management Discussion and Analysis given below discusses the key issues concerningeach of the Strategic Business Units (SBUs).
Fertiliser SBU
Coromandel, with a production capacity of 36.25 Lakh tons of Di-Ammonium Phosphate(DAP) and Complexes, is the leading private sector player in Phosphatic fertilisers inIndia. The Company produces and sells Phosphatic (P) and Potassic (K) Fertilisers ofvarious grades like DAP and Complex Fertilisers with different composition ofnutrients. The Company also distributes imported DAP, Potash, Urea and NPKs. Theacquisition of LPL and LUL has added a further 10 lakh tons of Single Super Phosphate(SSP) capacity. This also allows the Company to offer low P fertiliser products to thefarming community in the core SSP markets Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh andUttar Pradesh.
The Company has a complete basket of products to offer the farmers including Urea whichis handled under government contract through Kakinada and Karaikal ports and therebyoperates in all fertiliser segments Nitrogenous, Phosphatic and Potassicfertilisers. The Companys fertiliser (DAP and complex) manufacturing facilities arelocated at Visakhapatnam and Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh and Ennore in Tamil Nadu.Coromandel has facilities to manufacture phosphoric acid and sulfuric acid atVishakapatnam and Ennore.
The Company also operates 7 SSP plants in the northern and western parts of India and 1in Ranipet.
Industry scenario
Global market scenario
The global consumption of nutrients in 2013 is estimated to be 179 million tons , a0.5% increase over previous year, and is estimated to grow to 194 million tons in 2017.
India Market Scenario
The 2013-14 monsoon was one of the best monsoons in recent history and thissignificantly improved the agricultural prospects for both kharif and rabi seasons.Commodity prices ruled high despite record production level of 260 MM tons estimated forthe year 2013-14, indicating rising demand for agricultural products. The fertilisersector has seen the revival of phosphatics consumption.
The overall industry DAP consumption levels have revived in 2013-14 due to goodmonsoon. The import volumes declined in 2013-14 to 33 lakh tons in response to the highpipeline inventory situation while the domestic production levels have remained flat at 36lakh tons.
The total sale of Complex fertilisers in India has remained relatively constant at2012-13 levels and was 71 lakh tons in 2013-14. The industrys production volumeshave increased from 62 lakh tons in 2012-13 to 69 lakh tons in 2013-14 while imports havebeen almost negligible at 4 lakh tons.
This lowering of imports resulting from demand contraction and a good monsoon in2013-14 have allowed the industry to reduce pipeline stocks that had been built up duringthe year 2011-12.
The various expansions projects announced by domestic manufacturers to meet futuredemand is likely to increase the availability of complex fertilisers from domesticproduction as we go forward.
The prices of all phosphatic fertilisers and raw materials have been relatively stablein 2013-14 as compared with the volatility and steep increases seen in 2012-13. Inaddition, the stability of the rupee in 2013-14 has also helped in maintaining phosphaticfertiliser prices.
MOP consumption has declined by 44% over 2010-11 levels to 22 lakh tons in 2013-14 andimports have declined by 50% over the same period to 32 lakh tons.
Government policies
Subsidy effect
The fertiliser subsidy continues to be N-biased resulting in artificially low Ureaprices which continues to influence the farmers buying behavior and leading to highUrea application levels relative to phosphatic fertiliser application levels. This hasresulted in suboptimal application levels and may lead to deterioration in soil health.
In line with international price trends, the government has announced phosphaticsubsidy rates for FY 2014-15.
|Rs./Kg of Nutrient
With the decrease in the subsidy rate, the share of subsidy in total realization hasreduced and this in turn has helped the Government to curtail the subsidy outgo towardsphosphatic fertilisers. The NBS policy has achieved its intended benefits of increasingthe availability of phosphatic fertilisers, reducing subsidy outgo and prices reflectingmarket rates.
Fertiliser Performance
The Company has made significant advances in consolidating its position as the premierphosphatics player in the core markets by leveraging its strong trade & retailnetworks and by expanding the institutional channel. With the 2013-14 monsoon being a veryfavorable one, the Company has increased its all-India PK fertiliser market-share to over16% in 2013-14 (13% in 2012-13).
In the year 2013-14, the fertiliser business has deployed a series of counter measuresto mitigate the effects of the adverse business conditions that were prevalent in 2012-13and has positioned the business for long-term growth. Leveraging the good monsoons,favorable ground water conditions and reviving consumption, the fertiliser business hasmethodically worked through the channel inventory woes and in doing so has strengthenedits position as a key player in its key addressable markets of Andhra Pradesh, Karnatakaand Maharashtra.
The business has improved its overall brand equity by improving the quality of itsfinished products and bags through focused initiatives. The manufacturing locationsmaintained tight controls on conversion costs and fixed costs to maximize profitability.In addition, the business optimized availability of raw material while managingshort-falls in supply of phosphoric acid to ensure improved capacity utilizations whichhave also contributed to improved profitability levels.
The business was constrained by relatively high levels of working capital and variousincentive schemes were introduced throughout the year to continuously focus on containingthe working capital levels. Borrowings have also been effectively managed to minimizeinterest costs.
The total production of DAP and Complexes in 2013-14 from Coromandels productionfacilities was 22.55 lakh tons. The new production facility (C-Train) at Kakinada wasstabilised during the year. All fertiliser plants have reported improved operationalefficiencies and improved substantially in both safety and environmental standards. Thetimely purchase of raw materials and pro-active forex management also helped the Companyto improve overall performance.
Various initiatives were taken to improve the quality of the product and packaging thusassuring best product to customers.
Coromandel in its continuous journey towards improving the SHE practices has achievedthe best ever norms in-terms of Safety and Environmental performance for the year2013-14. The Company has invested and improved the structural integrity at itsVishakapatnam and Ennore plants and will continue to undertake investments in furtherimproving the SHE culture at its Plants.
The Company has been investing continuously in meeting its obligations towardsprotecting the environment. Towards this step, the Green Visakha project and Green beltdevelopment at Kakinada continued as planned. With the assistance of TERI, the Vizag teamdeveloped some unique species of trees which can flourish in acidic and alkaline soils.The same were successfully planted in an area of 5 acre.
Introduction of fortified fertilisers was a key area of focus in 2013-14 and a new NPgrade 24-24-0 fortified with 8% sulphur was produced commercially at Vizag plant usingShell technology. DAP fortified with zinc was produced commercially in Kakinada plant andsingle super phosphate fortified with Boron was produced in Ranipet plant. These fortifiedgrades will help ameliorate the deficiencies of sulphur, zinc and boron in Indian soilsand are an addition to the range of unique products offered by the Company therebyenhancing value addition to the customers.
Overall, the fertiliser business of the company had a good year and maintained focus onworking through inventory overhang, working capital and increasing production throughC-Train.
Crop Protection
Industry Scenario
Crop protection industry globally registered a growth of 9.4 %, to grow from 49.5billion dollars in 2012 to 54.2 billion dollars in 2013. Some of the key factors witnessedin 2013 were strong volume growth in all regional markets and improvement in glyphosateprices. The global weather conditions witnessed during the year were very locationsspecific with US corn and soybean planting season affected by dry weather but had a goodgrowing season while the European regions were affected by excess rainfall. As a result,the crop prices which were relatively high at the beginning of the year moderated over thecourse of the year.
Among the various regions, Latin America contributed largely to this growth with 22.3%growth to reach a turnover of 14.02 billion dollars and insecticide grew strongly as asegment. Asian market was the only region to register a marginal negative growth of 1.8%and with a turnover of 14.4 billion dollars (however in real terms the market grew by3.6%)
Market acceptance and usage of Genetically Modified (GM) crops are becoming an integralpart of the crop protection business. GM seeds market registered a growth of 8.7% to reach20 billion dollars. America and Asia are the key regions witnessing this growth.
Indian Industry benefitted from both growth in volumes and increase in prices thoughexcess rains affected consumption in some states. Herbicides and Fungicides recorded goodgrowth in consumption.
Crop Protection Performance
During the year 2013-14 SBU recorded strong growth over previous years by leveragingits domestic distribution network, scaling up technicals and its direct presence in keyLatin America (LATAM) and Asia Pacific (APAC) markets. In its effort to expand its exportpresence, the SBU has initiated a regional focus approach for its export markets.
Domestic formulations business recorded robust growth through trade and retail chain inall critical markets. To create a new identity and engage farmers in a responsible manner,SBU launched a new umbrella brand "Gromor Suraksha" offering strong valueproposition to farmers.
Formulations business could offer a strong portfolio of products in the domestic marketthrough its captive fungicides technical range and introduction of new molecules throughits co-marketing tie-up with MultiNational Corporations to strengthen its herbicidesrange.
During the year the Company and its subsidiary Sabero achieved various othermilestones:
Manufacturing capacity of key molecules enhanced with improved efficiencies
Consistency in product quality established manufacturing Propineb. The productgained good acceptance globally
Plant reliability and safety improved with reconstruction of certain plants inSarigam to ensure higher capacity and volumes in the coming years
Leveraged existing portfolio of product registrations to scale up volumes acrossgeographies
Increased volumes and presence in Central America through subsidiary in Mexico
Through its increased reach and strong portfolio of products, SBU is set to captureemerging growth in consumption of agro chemicals, in the drive to increase agriculturalproduction in the country.
Speciality Nutrients
Specialty Nutrients Division (SND) team was restructured across the country to bringfocus and growth to the business. It was reoriented around Crop based units with theobjective of providing complete nutrition solutions and enhancing the productivity. Thecrop approach has yielded rich dividends in its first year of operations through improvedawareness about total nutrition concept among the farmers and dealers, resulting in highersales, liquidation and consequent collections. The business has grown by 18% registeringhealthy growth in all three product categories- Water Soluble Fertilisers (WSF), SulphurProducts and Micro Nutrients. Coromandel emerged as market leader in Water SolubleFertilisers and Sulphur product segments. During the year, six new products wereintroduced to offer need based crop solutions.
The joint venture with SQM Chile, Coromandel SQM (CSQM), which has been helpingCoromandel through knowledge sharing and new product introduction, has grown in itsoperations significantly during the year. Business aims to build on SQMs soundtechnical crop knowledge to continue its market leadership in WSFs.
Retail showed robust performance in 2013-14 registering an impressive 55% growth in thenon-fertiliser segment. A number of new initiatives and processes were introduced thisyear to facilitate long term growth and stores were positioned as a "Complete FarmingSolution" platform through range expansion in Non-Fertilisers.
Visual merchandizing was introduced in retail centers to improve store presentation andfocus on providing the customer a consistent, high quality presentation of the productofferings. The business leveraged technology to provide cutting edge services throughinitiatives like Gromor Webinar and Gromor Scientist whicheducated the farmers on scientific agricultural practices to improve productivity.
The business commenced the extension of farm credit provided by banks to farmersthrough select retail center. This credit is then used by the farmers to purchase farminputs at the retail center. The business also leveraged IT and improved operationalefficiencies of stores.
Currently Retail operates close to 690 stores in the State of Andhra Pradesh andKarnataka and planning entry into Maharashtra and TamilNadu.
Strengths and opportunities:
Coromandel produces DAP & Complex fertilisers from three manufacturing locations Vishakapatnam, Kakinada and Ennore that are all strategically located toserve key markets of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra. With themerger of Liberty Phosphate, the Company has expanded its geographical presence toNorthern and Western markets. The Companys brands Gromor and Godavari are all wellestablished. The brand equity enjoyed by these brands in combination with the proximity ofthe manufacturing locations to key markets is one of the key strengths enjoyed byCoromandel.
Over a period of time the Company has been expanding the capacities and the plants arecapable of producing different grades of complex fertilisers including urea based gradesat all locations. The Company has also created adequate infrastructure facilities andstorage facilities commensurate to the production capacities which help in managingvolatility in raw material prices and ensuring uninterrupted production. Productionfacilities for intermediates like phosphoric acid and sulphuric acid in Vizag and Ennorehelp in capturing value addition in own manufacture and derisk the business. Each unitalso has flexibility in processing of different types of raw materials like rock andphosphoric acid irrespective of the countries of origin and maintaining their efficienciesof operations. Captive power source and stake in Andhra Pradesh Gas Power CorporationLimited (APGPCL) helps in keeping the conversion cost under control and efficiencies atpar with best in the Industry. The Company has established key strategic tie-ups for rawmaterials and this ensure sustained availability of materials to operate the plant atoptimal levels of production.
The Company augments its strong presence in fertilisers with offerings in theAgri-Chemicals (pesticides, fungicides and herbicides), Specialty Nutrients and Organicsegments. This complete basket of offerings to the farming community allows Coromandel toaddress all the needs of its customer base and offer holistic solutions. As part of itscontinuing efforts to provide holistic solutions, Coromandel undertakes farmdemonstrations using its products while highlighting scientifically proven agriculturalpractices and conducts soil tests to identify deficiencies and provides tailored advice tothe farming community. The company is also conducting pilot trials for providing farmmechanization services to the farmers and improve agricultural productivity. Thiscombination of a complete basket of products and dissemination of scientifically proventechniques enables Coromandel to build loyalty with farmers.
The vast product offerings of the Companys SND business Primary, Secondaryand Micro nutrients based around crop and soil requirements fulfil complete cropnutrition needs. The business will continue to develop the crop solutions through aknowledge driven approach. With higher price realization on horticulture crops, thesegment will be the next big opportunity. Aggressive support by State governments for dripirrigation programs makes the WSF segment a high growth proposition. Catering to cropneeds through customized solutions will be the driver for the next level of growth.
The Company operates Mana Gromor and Namma Gromor retail centers in Andhra Pradesh andKarnataka, respectively, through which it markets its products directly to the farmers.These Retail centers have become the face of the Company in rural locations and allow forfirst-hand information exchange communication with the farming community. In its 5th yearof operation in the Andhra Pradesh, the Mana Gromor Brand Equity has grown to 5.6 which isconsidered a Very Strong brand.
The Fertiliser Technology Centre at Visakhapatnam has strengths in process and productdevelopment. The company will broaden the scope of Fertilisers R&D to includeagronomic evaluation of products in order to integrate product and process developmentwith performance evaluation and thereby provide validated solutions for improving PlantNutrition and Soil Health.
Having weathered the headwinds from multiple directions in 2012-13 forex, highprices, imports, high channel inventories and a failed monsoon Coromandel has madesignificant strides in 2013-14 to position the business for long-term growth. The Companywill continue to focus on maintaining cost leadership in the industry and will focus onfurther reducing costs. With the commissioning and stabilization of C-Train, the Companyhas positioned itself to be the leading Phosphatic fertiliser player in the country. Inaddition, the Company has improved its manufacturing facilities at Visakhapatnam andEnnore to ensure sustainable operations for the long-term. Besides this, the company islooking forward towards attaining self-sufficiency of Visakhapatnam unit in terms ofphosphoric acid requirements. With this we will be able to meet the requirements ofmanufacturing higher volumes and maintain our cost leadership. We are confident that themanufacturing base of the Company has been positioned to be capable of meeting the needsof the phosphatic fertiliser sector.
The business will continue to strengthen itself as a Complex fertiliser player byoffering region specific value added solutions to the farmer and pursue fortifiedfertilisers (B, ZN, S) to address soil deficiencies. With the acquisition of LPL and LUL,Coromandel has positioned itself to cater to a different customer base in a geographywhere Coromandel brands have relatively low presence. The company will leverage marketingsynergies across both businesses to maximize sales of SSP and Complex fertilisers.
In 2014-15 the company will commercialize the technologies developed in 2013-14 forseveral specialty products water solubles, sulphur and mirconutrients. The companywill also develop fortification technology for enhancing the performance of existingfertiliser grades through incorporation of proprietary additives. In the area of Agronomicresearch, the company will conduct extensive trials with the objective of mapping productsto different soil/crop combinations.
In the current business environment, the Company will maintain strong focus on workingcapital levels to reduce interest costs and unlock cash from trade channels. Finally, theCompany will continue to actively manage foreign exchange exposure and continuallyoptimize positions to reduce downside risk to the business.
Growing demand for food grains to feed a larger population, food security legislation,limited land and water resources are all factors which will be key drivers of futuregrowth for agri-input and crop protection products. With the depreciation of currency andincreasing global demand for generics, Indian Industry is expected to benefit from growthin exports of agrochemicals significantly in coming years. In order to address the growingneed, the Company will focus on specialities and scale up formulation sales based oncaptive technicals including additional range being manufactured by Sabero. The Company isalso actively expanding its global footprint by leveraging Sabero and will continue toincrease its presence in Latin America, Africa and South East Asia. In addition, theCompany will continue to maintain a global focus and increase its reach by increasing itsportfolio of global registrations. The company will also increase its strengths in R&Dby pursuing the establishment of a product synthesis center with capability to developcombination products.
The SND business will leverage its knowledge driven crop approach to capture theemerging markets across the country. The team will focus on providing complete nutritionsolutions in high potential crop clusters by addressing customer needs and requirements.Customized crop products to farmers and dealers will be the key drivers for growth in theperiod ahead. Crop Knowledge will form core of this approach which will be acquiredthrough tie ups.
Retail focus in 2014-15 will be on offering significantly superior customer valueproposition compared to general trade and improved execution. Coromandel Retail has beensteadily gaining customer trust by offering complete farming solution including highquality products at fair prices. Market Research initiatives like setup of Farmer Panelsand Continuous Feedback Systems will be used to understand latest trends and developmentsin farming and tapping lateral needs of farmers. Market Research information will beleveraged to design customer loyalty programs and reward systems. Number of storesextending Farm credit service will be scaled up.
Extensive CRM systems will be introduced at store level to track Store team reach andeffective implementation of customer service. Information Technology (IT) enabledtechnical advisory services will be provided to enhance the stores technicalstrength. Focus on Gromor Webinar and Gromor Scientist andconducting precision farming demos will continue. All customer initiatives will be alignedto increase farmers Return on Investment.

they are shit, but have quit, WE WANT SOMEONE BETTER
Spicy pie is mainstream shit.
Eat me
So why did they drop out? Cease & desist from Oasis? No longer allowed to play Oasis songs? :3
Oasis reunion. denial is a smokescreen.
Trentemoller just announced tour dates right around Coachella
I agree with ya unfortunately. Guess I'll get tickets to the Fonda since I'll be in LA a week early for the fest
Looks like Courtney Barnett and Zoe got added for Sunday. Go see for yourself...
Serious question, when is the last time Coachella has added a big act to replace another big act that dropped? Winehouse/MIA switch? They ain't adding shit.
Was Beady Eye considered a big act? They've been virtually absent in the US since they started aside from a handful of shows in LA and NYC.
May 15-17 - Psycho California
June 6 - The Rolling Stones
June 10 - Melvins
June 20 - Blur
June 24-28 - Glastonbury
July 18 - Death Grips?
July 26 - Faith No More
September 25 - Kraftwerk
In all honesty, I highly doubt anyone will replace them. If coachella has taught me anything, its don't get your hopes up.
I'm just bummed i can't yell "PLAY WONDERWALL ASSHOLE" anymore.
...guess I just have to do it for skrillex
Cibo Matto would be nice, since they are available and should have already been on the lineup. Or Failure.
I hunk the substitute will be more along the lines of the caliber of replacement they had for Cocteau Twins, Doves, Cat Power, Lou Reed, etc.
4/8 Ride @ The Roxy, 4/10 St. Vincent @ The Cosmopolitan, 4/14 Barry Manilow @ Staples Center, 5/2 Desert Daze, 5/8-10 Levitation, 5/16 The Juan Maclean @ The Regent, 6/10 Emmy the Great @ Hotel Cafe, 6/12 Emmy the Great @ Hotel Utah
Why aren't the War on Drugs on the lineup already? *fingers crossed*
I heard Tears for Fears might getting added, richard blade on siris radio was talking about it.
Just get deafheaven already.

BMW X1 Review
X1 is a compact SUV from BMW which was launched two years back in India. Now, looking at the rising competition, BMW has re-launched X1 to make sure that it remains at the top position in its segment. Does it have the potential? Let's check out.
There are no major changes in this department as the basic design and styling of the car remains intact. The low stance of X1 differentiates it from other compact SUVs. BMW has elegantly designed this car which makes it look up-market. The angular headlights now get LED corona rings inside which add premium touch to this car. The typical BMW grille at its front gels well with the front styling of X1. Round shaped fog lights are placed just below its headlights while you will also notice the new glossy finish on the tip of its front bumper. This finishing can be seen all around this car. The multi-spoke alloy wheels, bulgy wheel arches and long bonnet remains unchanged. The car features new side mirrors integrated with side indicators. The silver finished roof rails and side cladding add sporty character to this car. X1 has a short rear overhang which gives it a compact look when seen from the back. In fact, it looks much sporty and dynamic when seen from the back. The wide rear glass and integrated spoiler, antenna and wiper make it look attractive. The sharp lines on its boot gate and rear bumper further enhance the visual charm of this car.
BMW has changed the dull interiors of X1 and now it comes with all black color inside. The car now feels much more premium and gives you the true essence of luxury inside. The silver finishing also goes well with the black color. The car uses rich quality of plastic material and fabrics. The seats are well cushioned and give you optimum amount of back and under thigh support. There is enough head room and shoulder room at its front and five people can comfortably fit in this car.
Comfort and Convenience
BMW X1 comes with comfort features like automatic climate control, adjustable leather wrapped steering wheel, electric wing mirrors, power windows, cruise control, MID and individual arm rests. Apart from these, the car also has adjustable seats, keyless entry and height adjustable drive seat.
Dashboard and Storage
The up-raised black colored dashboard looks quite attractive with aluminium finishing around its AC vents. The texture and designing of this dashboard makes it look up-market. There is a big screen placed just above its AC vents while the integrated gear console also looks sporty with short gear knob. The dashboard features an air-cooled glove box for storage while you will also notice door pockets and back pockets on front seats. The rear centre arm rest also comes with cup holders. X1 has a boot capacity of 420 litres which can be extended by folding down its rear seats.
Music System
BMW X1 comes with company fitted music system and speakers. This system also comes with BMW app which allows you to connect with your iPhone and iPod. You can choose and play music through simple connectivity. The car also features Bluetooth connectivity and navigation system. All audio and Bluetooth controls are mounted on the steering wheel of X1.
Engine and Gearbox
BMW has re-tuned the engine of X1 to make it more powerful and efficient. X1 is powered by the same 1995cc, 4-cylinder diesel engine. This liquid-cooled, 16 valves engine now produces a peak power of 184 bhp at 4000 rpm. The torque output of this DOHC engine has also increased significantly and now it generates a maximum torque output of 380 Nm which ranges from 1750-2750rpm. BMW has also blessed X1 with an all new eight speed automatic transmission which effectively uses the torque amount of this engine.
Acceleration and Performance
With improved specifications and light weight, X1 enjoys an impressive power to weight ratio which makes this new car significantly faster than before. The car reaches the speed of 100km/hr from standstill in less than 8.5 seconds. X1 can easily go pass the speed of 190km/hr and shows instant throttle reaction. The eight speed gearbox effectively supplies power to its rear wheels which also gives it an advantage when you take it off road. It feels quite confident while doing up-hill journeys and suffers minor turbo lag. The well matched gear ratios make it quite enjoyable in city traffic. The engine sounds quiet refined but sometimes it feels a bit harsh when rev hard.
Mileage and Safety Features
BMW X1 manages to return you a fuel economy of around 10.5km/ltr in city conditions while these figures improve on long journeys. X1 comes with vital safety features like 6 airbags, park assist and ESP.
Suspension and Brakes
BMW X1 has an independent suspension system at its both ends. All wheels of the car are equipped with ventilated disc brakes. The car also features ABS with EBD and brake assist for precise braking.
Ride and Handling
There is significant difference in the handling of X1 as now it feels much lighter and accurate than before. The electronic steering gives you right feedback at high speeds and keeps you connected to roads. The low seating also gives you clear view of roads and it's quite easy to handle this car in city traffic. The wheelbase of 2760mm makes it exceptionally stable on highways. The car easily digests major potholes and makes less noise. The traction control and wide tyres also hold this car well around corners.
Shades, Variants and Warranty
Three variants of X1 are available in ten different shades. BMW offers a warranty of 2years/unlimited kilometres on X1.
BMW X1 is certainly not a hard-core SUV as it neither looks macho nor it gives you thrilling off road experiences with all-wheel drive system. Instead, it's a compact SUV which favours city usage and performs like any other sedan. We won't say it's a complete value for money car but keeping its brand reputation in mind, you can surely opt for this car.

Every two years we choose to support a Charity of Choice voted for by employees and go all out to support the cause
Historically we have supported several great charitable causes from Action for Children to our current Charity of Choice CLIC Sargent.
CLIC Sargent is the UK's leading cancer charity for children and young people, and their families. They provide clinical, practical and emotional support to help them cope with cancer and get the most out of life. Every day, 10 children and young people in the UK hear the shocking news they have cancer. Treatment normally starts immediately, is often given many miles from home and can last for up to three years. Although survival rates are over 80 per cent, cancer remains the single largest cause of death from disease in children and young people in the UK.
Besides the charity of choice we also encourage charity collections at the 18 stations that we manage and support local charities through our eight routes spanning the UK.
We also support our employees in their volunteering and fundraising efforts. You can find out more about our initiatives in our Sustainability Update.
Below is more information on how to apply for a charity collection or for local funding.
We own and operate some of biggest and busiest stations in the UK - Birmingham New Street, Cannon Street, Charing Cross, Edinburgh Waverley, Euston, Glasgow Central, King's Cross, Leeds City, Liverpool Lime Street, Liverpool Street, London Bridge, Manchester Piccadilly, Paddington, St Pancras, Victoria and Waterloo.
If you are a registered charity and you wish to hold a charity bucket collection in one of our managed stations, please follow these easy steps.
We will acknowledge your application within 10 working days.
We do not charge for charity collections in our stations.
If you are a registered charity looking to hold a promotional exhibition (including flyering, leafleting, events, stands, stalls etc) please contact Concourse Initiatives at JCDecaux who manage promotional activities in our managed stations.
Our eight Routes are responsible for selecting local charities and have small pots of funding available at different times throughout the year. They select local charities whose activities fall into one of the following categories:
If you would like to apply for charity funding for a local project, please follow these steps:
If you have not been able to find the information you were looking for on this page and would like to learn more about charitable giving at Network Rail please email firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll get back to you by email or phone.

Unless your PC is in the room down the hall and you use 60 foot extension cords on your monitor and input devices, I can't see how having your CD drive 2 feet in front of you is any different than having it 2 feet down at your side.
If you really feel you need to do this you might as well have a toilet built into your chair and your car keys on a special little hanger that you keep within reach of the driver's side door of your car.
I keep mine a good 6ft from where I sit. Seems to make sense to me to keep it this far away - no point losing desk or leg-space for something I only touch once a week, tops. This is actually the closest it's been in quite some time, actually. Were it not for the constraint of having such short audio cables, it would be back out in the hall.
I don't like having my PC nearby. From a user perspective, I don't like having to hear it, from a technical perspective, I don't like it being near magnetic fields, user vibrations, or the heat of a heated room. If the optical drive was a part I needed, I'd have an external drive. Sensible, no?

This morning Ultra1 died hard. It crashed and would not come back up, would not even make it through the prom diagnostics. It has been replaced with a brand new box, which has a faster disk controller, CPU, and a full duplex 10/100 ethernet so it should be faster. In addition, there is a problem with some of the Ultras with memory refresh with the newer DIMMS that the older machine suffered from but in theory this should not so hopefully this will improve stability. The disks were OK, so no data was lost.

After a few rough years and with heavy hearts we had to sell our apartment last summer (long, bad story). We received an offer that gave us 30 days to get out. We searched our favourite Montreal neighbourhoods to no avail - then stumbled on a home in the Hudson countryside, 40 minutes away. We took a chance and leapt. Last week I was walking Panda and I took this picture - I still can't believe we live here. Grateful every day. It is most definitely our favourite place on earth.
