Quotes and Readings of the Day
And when he had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. When he drew near to Beth'phage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples, saying, "Go into the village opposite, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet sat; untie it and bring it here. If any one asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' you shall say this, 'The Lord has need of it.'"
So those who were sent went away and found it as he had told them. And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?" And they said, "The Lord has need of it." And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their garments on the colt they set Jesus upon it. And as he rode along, they spread their garments on the road.
As he was now drawing near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, saying, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"
And some of the Pharisees in the multitude said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples." He answered, "I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out."
From the Revised Standard Version of the Bible, copyright 1946, 1952, 1971 by the Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA. Used by permission.
And he continued, "Name the wages due from me, and I will pay you." But he said, "You know well how I have served you and how your livestock has fared with me. For the little you had before I came has grown to much, since the Lord has blessed you wherever I turned. And now, when shall I make provision for my own household?" He said, "What shall I pay you?" And Jacob said, "Pay me nothing! If you will do this thing for me, I will again pasture and keep your flocks: let me pass through your whole flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted animal--every dark-colored sheep and every spotted and speckled goat. Such shall be my wages. In the future when you go over my wages, let my honesty toward you testify for me: if there are among my goats any that are not speckled or spotted or any sheep that are not dark-colored, they got there by theft."
And Laban said, "Very well, let it be as you say." But that same day he removed the streaked and spotted he-goats and all the speckled and spotted she-goats--every one that had white on it--and all the dark-colored sheep, and left them in the charge of his sons. And he put a distance of three days' journey between himself and Jacob, while Jacob was pasturing the rest of Laban's flock.
Jacob then got fresh shoots of poplar, and of almond and plane, and peeled white stripes in them, laying bare the white of the shoots. The rods that he had peeled he set up in front of the goats in the troughs, the water receptacles, that the goats came to drink from. Their mating occurred when they came to drink, and since the goats mated by the rods, the goats brought forth streaked, speckled, and spotted young. But Jacob dealt separately with the sheep; he made these animals face the streaked or wholly dark-colored animals in Laban's flock. And so he produced special flocks for himself, which he did not put with Laban's flocks. Moreover, when the sturdier animals were mating, Jacob would place the rods in the troughs, in full view of the animals, so that they mated by the rods; but with the feebler animals he would not place them there. Thus the feeble ones went to Laban and the sturdy to Jacob. So the man grew exceedingly prosperous, and came to own large flocks, maidservants and menservants, camels and asses.
Now he heard the things that Laban's sons were saying: "Jacob has taken all that was our father's, and from that which was our father's he has built up all this wealth." Jacob also saw that Laban's manner toward him was not as it had been in the past. Then the Lord said to Jacob, "Return to the land of your fathers where you were born, and I will be with you." Jacob had Rachel and Leah called to the field, where his flock was, and said to them, "I see that your father's manner toward me is not as it has been in the past. But the God of my father has been with me. As you know, I have served your father with all my might; but your father has cheated me, changing my wages time and again. God, however, would not let him do me harm. If he said thus, 'The speckled shall be your wages,' then all the flocks would drop speckled young; and if he said thus, 'The streaked shall be your wages,' then all the flocks would drop streaked young. God has taken away your father's livestock and given it to me.
"Once, at the mating time of the flocks, I had a dream in which I saw that the he-goats mating with the flock were streaked, speckled, and mottled. And in the dream an angel of God said to me, 'Jacob!' 'Here,' I answered. And he said, 'Note well that all the he-goats which are mating with the flock are streaked, speckled, and mottled; for I have noted all that Laban has been doing to you. I am the God of Beth-el, where you anointed a pillar and where you made a vow to Me. Now, arise and leave this land and return to your native land.'"
Then Rachel and Leah answered him, saying, "Have we still a share in the inheritance of our father's house? Surely, he regards us as outsiders, now that he has sold us and has used up our purchase price. Truly, all the wealth that God has taken away from our father belongs to us and to our children. Now then, do just as God has told you."

6 water sources identified in study
The proposed Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Project's Preparatory Technical Assistance (PPTA) recommends six (6) additional water sources if the project pushes through. These are from Danao, Luyang water from Carmen, new wells, new bulk water contracts, desalinated water and additional water which will be recovered through non-revenue water (NRW) reduction. This was presented during the dissemination workshop conducted by the PPTA consultants in a workshop on March 8-9, 2012 at the ParkLane Hotel, Cebu City.
Metropolitan Cebu Water District's (MCWD) General Manager Armando H. Paredes said that MCWD envisions to increase its service capacity to 60% in 2020 from its current 38% service coverage. This worthy undertaking demands extensive preparation, such as pipeline rehabilitation works, the laying of new distribution lines, a comprehensive NRW program and additional water supply to augment the water district's current average daily production of 189,000 cu.m. per day. GM Paredes assured that MCWD will enter into a loan agreement only when it becomes necessary and when the project is feasible for MCWD. Any tariff adjustments that will be brought about by the development will go through the process including a public hearing.

The International Space Station (ISS) is the most complex international scientific and engineering project in history and the largest structure humans have ever put into space. This high-flying satellite is a laboratory for new technologies and an observation platform for astronomical, environmental and geological research. As a permanently occupied outpost in outer space, it serves as a stepping-stone for further space exploration.
The station flies at an average altitude of 248 miles (400 kilometers) above Earth. It circles the globe every 90 minutes at a speed of about 17,500 mph (28,000 kph). In one day, the station travels about the distance it would take to go from Earth to the moon and back. The space station can rival the brilliant planet Venus in brightness and appears as a bright moving light across the night sky. It can be seen from Earth without the use of a telescope by night sky observers who know when and where to look. The ISS AstroViewer website tracks the orbit of the space station in real time.
Five different space agencies representing 15 countries built the $100-billion International Space Station and continue to operate it today. NASA, Russia's Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos), the European Space Agency, the Canadian Space Agency and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency are the primary space agency partners on the project.
The International Space Station was taken into space piece-by-piece and gradually built in orbit. It consists of modules and connecting nodes that contain living quarters and laboratories, as well as exterior trusses that provide structural support, and solar panels that provide power. The first module, Russia's Zarya module, launched in 1998. The station has been continuously occupied since Nov. 2, 2000. [Infographic: The International Space Station: Inside and Out]
Starting in 2015, changes to the ISS were performed to prepare the complex for crewed commercial spacecraft, which will begin arriving as early as 2017. Two international docking adapters will be added to the station. Additionally, an inflatable module from Bigelow Aerospace is scheduled to arrive in 2015.
Current plans call for the space station to be operated through at least 2020. NASA has requested an extension until 2024, but that proposal was complicated by a deterioration of U.S. relations with Russia in 2014 concerning Russia's military activities in Ukraine. Discussions to extend the space station's lifetime are ongoing among all international partners.
During the space station's major construction phase, some Russian modules and docking ports were launched directly to the orbiting lab, while other NASA and international components (including Russian hardware) were delivered on U.S. space shuttles. [Rare Photos: Space Shuttle at Space Station]
The space station, including its large solar arrays, spans the area of a U.S. football field, including the end zones, and weighs 861,804 lbs. (391,000 kilograms), not including visiting vehicles. The complex now has more livable room than a conventional five-bedroom house, and has two bathrooms, a gymnasium and a 360-degree bay window. Astronauts have also compared the space station's living space to the cabin of a Boeing 747 jumbo jet.
Crew size
A six-person expedition crew typically stays four to six months aboard the ISS. The first space station crews were three-person teams, though after the tragic Columbia shuttle disaster the crew size temporarily dropped to two-person teams. The space station reached its full six-person crew size in 2009 as new modules, laboratories and facilities were brought online.
With a full complement of six crewmembers, the station operates as a full research facility. In recent years, technology such as 3-D printing, autonomous Earth imaging, laser communications and mini-satellite launchers have been added to the station; some are controlled by crewmembers, and some controlled by the ground. Additionally, there are dozens of ongoing investigations looking at the health of astronauts staying on the station for several months. [Related: Weightlessness and Its Effect on Astronauts]
Crews are not only responsible for science, but also for maintaining the station. Sometimes, this requires that they venture on spacewalks to perform repairs. From time to time, these repairs can be urgent — such as when a part of the ammonia system fails, which has happened a couple of times.
Spacewalk safety procedures were changed after a potentially deadly 2013 incident when astronaut Luca Parmitano's helmet filled with water while he was working outside the station. NASA is also testing technology that could supplement or replace astronaut spacewalks. One example is Robonaut. A prototype currently on board the station is able to flip switches and do other routine tasks under supervision, and may be modified at some point to work "outside" as well. [Infographic: Meet Robonaut 2, NASA's Space Droid]
If the crew needs to evacuate the station, they can return to Earth aboard two Russian Soyuz vehicles docked to the ISS. Additional crewmembers are transported to the ISS by Soyuz. Prior to the retirement of NASA's space shuttle fleet in 2011, new space station crewmembers were also ferried to and from the station during shuttle missions. In 2017, NASA expects to replace most Soyuz flights with SpaceX's crewed Dragon spacecraft and Boeing's CST-100.
Crews aboard the ISS are assisted by mission control centers in Houston and Moscow and a payload control center in Huntsville, Ala. Other international mission control centers support the space station from Japan, Canada and Europe. The ISS can also be controlled from mission control centers in Houston or Moscow. [Photos: Space Station's Expedition 32 Mission]
The ISS is slated to host its first one-year crew in 2015-16, with NASA's Scott Kelly and Roscosmos' Mikhail Kornienko. The agencies have expressed interest in running more one-year missions in the future, but have not made a commitment to date.
Facts about the International Space Station
- The ISS solar array surface area could cover the U.S. Senate Chamber three times over.
- ISS has an internal pressurized volume of 33,023 cubic feet, or equal that of a Boeing 747.
- The solar array wingspan (240 feet / 73 meters) is longer than that of a Boeing 777 200/300 model, which is 212 feet (64.6 m).
- Fifty-two computers control the systems on the ISS.
- More than 115 space flights were conducted on five different types of launch vehicles over the course of the station's construction.
- The ISS is almost four times as large as the Russian space station Mir, and about five times as large as the U.S. Skylab.
- Some 3.3 million lines of software code on the ground supports 1.8 million lines of flight software code.
- About 8 miles (12.8 km) of wire connects the electrical power system.
- In the International Space Station's U.S. segment alone, 1.5 million lines of flight software code run on 44 computers communicating via 100 data networks transferring 400,000 signals (e.g. pressure or temperature measurements, valve positions, etc.).
- Main U.S. control computers have 1.5 gigabytes of total main hard drive storage in the U.S. segment. Modern PCs have about 500-gigabyte hard drives.
- The entire 55-foot robot arm assembly is capable of lifting 220,000 lbs., which is the weight of a space shuttle orbiter.
- The 75 to 90 kilowatts of power for the ISS is supplied by an acre of solar panels.

Ice creams in hand, they nest along the covered benches, a sea of snowbirds chirping and pecking at their desserts. Here the Quebec-to-Florida license plate ratio is arguably higher than anywhere else in a 15-mile radius of FLL. Keep an eye out for a unique species of snowbird, part-Jacques Cousteau, part-Peter Sellers, with a handlebar mustache, dining mostly on poutine... with extra cheese curd.

Q: Does anyone know of a good safe deer repellant?
August 15, 2009 | By Ninaof2girls | 6 answers | Expired: 2358 days ago
Tags: deer
I would like to know of a good deer repellant that will keep them away from my flowers, vegetables and shrubs. We are over run with deer here. I love watching them and I don't mind them feeding here off our crab apple trees but I just want to keep them out of my flowers and garden. Does anyone know of a repellant that really works that is not harmful to the plants or other animals, people or the environment? Thank you in advance.

Grow flowers that deer won't eat.
A neighbor friend of mine used to spray Listerine around his garden. The deer never touched his flowers, but munched on my garden that looked like a half eaten tossed salad. I grew the above plants and never had a problem.

Liquid Fence is a good one and it's natural however the smell is awful! It' smells like very concentrated garlic, it makes me sick! Another remedy is to place dog hair around your garden, the deer should not go near that.

My parents use a liquid spray called Liquid Fence. It's a mixture of really smelly items like rotten egg and garlic I believe. I think it is an all natural product, and I know they are able to use it safely in their garden. I think it has mostly natural ingredients. It's supposed to be safe for all plants, animals, and the environment. I do not know how expensive it is, and I know it has to be reapplied at certain intervals to keep it's efficacy. It works for deer and other animals. The scent is definitely offensive but it dissipates quickly, to the human nose anyway! My mom searched high and low for a product to protect her plants and this is the only thing she has found to work for her. She tried to plant plants and flowers that deer supposedly didn't like, and they ate those too....

My parents has a cottage up in middle Wisconsin and they have deer gallor up there, my mother thinks that used fabric softeners work, they have human scent on them and they tend to stay away from it. Wouldn't hurt to try. Good Luck

i live in a very rural community where deer are a common issue. One of the best things you can do for your garden if you don't want them off the property just out of the veggies is fencing. When you fence your garden deer stay out but other critters can come and go. If you decide to fence your garden off, bury at least one and one half foot of fence under the ground to keep them from pawing at it and sticking their head under and getting stuck, and you will want to put a fence on the top so it is almost like a cage, to discourage jumping in. It doesn't have to go all the way across, but just enough to keep them out. About 3 feet always worked around here. And if you are worried about the looks of a yard cage as my friend calls them don't worry if done right they are unobtrusive and can look quite nice like a green house. best of luck for your garden and safety of your furry friends.

i am not sure this will work for deer but for rabbits and other little creatures i would take an empty moyo jar no lid and lay them around in the garden on there sides and it worked pretty well it might work for deer too. i don't know why it worked but it did

Economy & Business
Economy & Business
Mr. Hun Sen ruled Cambodia over 28 years and has many chances to do good things for Cambodian people, but he chose not to do it. Under Hun Sen corrupt power, millions of Cambodian people are getting poorer and some of them sold their kids to brothel for survival and some people become a beggar in Thailand while he and his regime enjoy corrupt billions of dollars. A former Khmer Rouge commander Hun Sen who is responsible for slaughtering millions of innocent Cambodian people knows only how to do cruel things in his life. For these reasons, majority of Cambodian people don't want to vote for him because they don't like him. Hun Sen commits so many crimes and he has a lot of sin.
Because majority of Cambodian people call for change, they did not vote for Mr. Hun Sen/CPP so he did not win the July 28, 2013 election and he robbed it. He did not want to call for the immediate re-election or investigate the election fraud that requested by the opposition Sam Rainsy/CNRP because he knows that he is not going to win---majority supports Rainsy/CNRP.
Mr. Hun Sen, please steps down /resigns so someone else can have a chance to lead Cambodia to improve the living conditions there so people there can enjoy and live in peace. Over 28 years of ruling is enough.
We don't ever dispute the fact that pol pot was a mad man, Nor do we dispute that his Regime's ways were brutal and uncivilized. Obviously the vietnamese invasion was to some fellow Cambodians was a sense of liberation from the brutality of the Khmer Rouge... Because any type of government was better than Pol Pot. This was nearly 35 years ago, We cannot continue this path, We do not support Hun sen because he hasn't done anything for the generation to come, he's living off his past legacy of liberating the nation but doesn't seem to understand that this doesn't apply to us living currently in this era.
This seems to be the fall of an empire.
First of all, I ah ta kwack leader of the Cambodia Psychopaths Party (CPP) did not rescue Cambodia
From the pol pot. Pol pot was going to have me kill because I'm a traitor, so to save my own self I sell out
To the Vietnamese. I sell oun then for my own gains, and have continued to sell and exploit, and oppress
Khmer people to keep my power. I Hun Sen is a psychopath so is my kid Hun manith, we like to lie
, steal, and say anything untrue so that only our opinions counts.
Im the ugly, stupid, killer and exploiter of Cambodia have stolen many elections through force, through
Frauds to make sure I will remain in power. I Hun Sen will not back down, because I'm a social psychopath
I want to continue to exploit Khmer people and her land and make blood and dirty money to support
My psychopath kids and grand kids.
Who say the Khmer people are not courageous? We are fed up with Hun Sen. We need new brain power, new direction. We need a visionary for our Kampuchea. We no longer wish to be colonized over and over again. Siem Reap is sold to the Vietnamese. How ridiculous is that? The forest is nearly gone. There's no order, no infrastructure for check and balance. The rich get richer and the poor eat dirt. If Hun Sen rules another day, Cambodia will be plunged into deep debt owed to the Chinese, and further exploited by the Vietnamese. Every sovereign nation has the rights to self-government by and for the people. Self-determination is a right guaranteed by the UN charter for all nations. It's time to rid ourselves of this corrupt regime under Hun Sen.

The good, the bad and the so-so policy moves and economic swings that impacted Indonesia this week.
The head of one of Indonesia's largest investment companies, Peter Sondakh says he's selling off stakes in his palm oil plantation in the hope of moving toward processing, refining and trading.
E-commerce sites and mobile apps are drawing on data they've collected from users to better understand how and when people shop during the Islamic holy month. Here's a look at some of what they've discovered.
All that burning rubbish in Indonesia may be taking its toll, with nearly a quarter of people surveyed in a recent poll saying waste management was the most prominent environmental issue in the country.
Indonesia needs to build up its power and transportation capacity to create jobs and grow the economy in the coming years – and it's relying on a lot of foreign investment to do so.

The $36, $38, and $43 price points (more or less) are areas I would expect to see heavy resistance/likely corrections, enroute to retesting $50/ounce ... which I think could easily happen in the next couple months.I wouldn't buy ZSL "hoping" for a pullback. The only time I even think about buying it is after the blue line gets over the green line on the 4hr chart, and when it looks like it's about to do so on the 8hr chart. And the only way I'll hold ZSL overnight, for more than one night, is if silver is below the 18 day moving average. Right now is NOT the time to be long ZSL. The bollinger bands have become constricted, indicating a major move is about to be made, either to the upside or downside. The charts are pretty much screaming that it is going to be to the upside. You want to be SHORT ZSL right now, not long.

As you likely now know, our ticketing partner TiqIQ is a great way to buy Lakers tickets from lots of different sellers. They just emailed me this week to tell me about a new and free ticket selling service called SellerDirect. It's still in soft launch, but over the next week, they're opening it up to 5 Lakers season ticket holders, via LakerNation. These sellers will get premium placement for their tickets right next to sellers like the NBA Ticket Exchange and eBay.
I'll also be promoting SellerDirect listing directly through LakerNation social media. Unlike Stubhub, there are no fees for using sellers direct, and unlike Craigslist, the buyer can actually see who you are and where you want to meet-up, which makes for a transaction with far less opportunity for surprises.
As a bonus, all sellers who apply for the program will automatically be entered to win $200 in free tickets to any event on TiqIQ.com. Even if you're not selected as a seller for this go-round, they've assured us more slots will open soon.
Reserve your spot here: TiqIQ SellerDirect

I was part of Team #20 (Uncle Fun, 3Hawks, BigMacs). Weather was perfect and we had air in the tires. We blazed a trail but unfortunately had to make 3 calls. It was a very fun day and it all started here. I knew what to do and all it took was a little patience. Nicely done. A great cache indeed. TFTC

"WEST BENGAL- THE SUNDERBANS" State of West Bengal by lynnehamman
State of West Bengal Travel Guide: 1,046 reviews and 3,784 photos
'Sundarban' literally means 'beautiful jungle' or 'beautiful forest' in the Bengali language. The name Sundarbans may also have been derived from the Sundari trees that are found in Sundarbans in large numbers.
Having seen, heard and read much about the Sunderbans, I am so glad to have actually been there. We have watched many documentries on television about this fairly remote area of West Bengal, and it lived up to expectations in all areas except one- we saw hardly any wildlife, let alone a Tiger.
This area is the worlds largest river delta. The reserve covers an area of 2585 sq km.It is home to the largest population of the Royal Bengal Tiger (last count 264) When we were there, we were told that the last sighting had been in November ( 9 weeks before) The Mangrove Eco-System is the largest in the world.. The only way to actually get to see the Sunderbans is by boat. This makes quite an interesting change to the usual mode of travel in India.
Despite the fact that we saw no tigers, we did see birds and spotted deer. The scenery,however, is breathaking.
The Sunderbans feel mysterious. And they are. Every year villagers who live and work in the region just disappear. The Royal Bengal Tigers have an appetite for humans- and their attacks are not unexpected. Tigers are an part of life here- and villagers (Muslim & Hindu alike) pray to the forest god Bonobibi and to the Tiger-god, Dakshin Roy, for protection against attacks.
Tigers are excellent swimmers, and because fishing is the main source of income, and puts food on plates - fishermen are in danger of being dragged off their boats. Fishing boats have husband and wife teams working them, and seemed to be keeping near the shallows.
Near the villages some areas have been fenced off, no doubt to give them a bit of protection. The number of deaths has officially declined.
Honey-collecting is big business in the Sunderbans. It is the most dangerous job. The Honey-Collectors have devised what they believe to be a good way of tricking the tigers. Tigers are less likely to attack if they suspect that they are being watched. The Honey-Collectors therefore wear a painted human face mask on the back of their heads. Forestry workers also use this tactic. So whether it is belief in their Gods or tricks with masks- these resourceful people go about their daily tasks.
I wonder if the swimming prowess of the tiger is the reason for the decline in numbers of the blind endangered Irriwaddy river dolphins, which used to populate the waters here.
These dolphins were nowhere to be seen. The water certainly seemed quite pristine.
We went out on the water very early before sunrise, and cruised for hours. So we saw sunrises. We also went on late afternoon cruises, and saw the sun setting. The vastness of the water, the density of the mangroves and the serenity- is difficult to actually explain.But the beauty was of a kind that I had never experienced before. There was no sound except the soft put-putting of our boat's engine and the call of birds. The mangroves consist of different species of trees, and they are thriving in the salty waters of the Sunderbans. We cruised through some very wide channels, and also into narrow ones, where the mangroves were only a few feet away on each side of the boat. We saw millions of tiny new mangrove seeds that were sprouting, ready to take their place amongst the old and dying trees. Even the shapes of these old trees was mysterious and unusual.
We really enjoyed the time here- it is so peaceful. Everything is probably much the same as it always has been. I hope that it never changes.
I will explain the acommodation in my tip section.
Because getting to the Sunderbans independently is problamatic, and a special permit is required, I rcommend that a tour is taken. The organizers took care of everything. We never do tours as a rule, so I was a bit confused as to how to set about the tip section.I hope that they make some sense.
- Pros:The scenery is beautiful. It is a very green part of the country
- Cons:Not easy to get to Sunderbans
- In a nutshell:Lovely unspoiled state that should be seen by all nature-lovers

I am very much thankful that you write on VT. This page especially lead me to a place I would have otherwise never even thought of visiting. Wish you many more travels!
Goutam thanks for visiting my Sunderbans page- its a magical place, and I enjoyed being there. I leave for India in 2 weeks! Very excited...
Yesterday I went to Sunderban Tiger Camp for a days visit. I was remembering you and Richard there. Reading your tips gives much pleasure than The Lonely Planet!
The kingfisher and the lovely sunset of the river with the mist is beautiful. Too stay in a tiger camp, you have to be brave and you are brave. Excellent page young lady!
Hi Lynne. Would you be able to tell me how much it cost and how long it took to get to Sundarbans? How long is good enough to stay there?
The Sunderbans look a very mysterious place and a very exciting one ! Superb photos !
Back for the interesting update. Fascinating to see such an unspoiled area: your tips and photos have really done it justice. I hope you see one of those elusive tigers on a later visit.
Back for a second look. Good update, and how well the video complements your text.
Tigers are absolutely my favourite animal - man-eating tendencies or not! This would definitely be on my India itinerary if ever I head that way. leyle
Would love to see the tigers in the wild :-)) Oh and this boat looks similar like a Venezia traghetto :-) So you will have fun in Venezia and take these one day :-)

Editor's choice: the highlights on just-food this week
King to step down as Sainsbury's CEO this summer
Justin King announcing he was checking out of Sainsbury's after a decade in charge of the UK grocer led this week's industry headlines. Staying in the UK, Premier Foods sold control of its bread arm to US private-equity firm Gores Group, while Chobani vowed to go to the country's Supreme Court after another negative ruling in its labelling battle with Fage. And just-food filed reports both from India's annual Food and Grocery Forum and the global confectionery trade show ISM in Germany.

A worker at Maruha Nichiro Holdings, the Japanese company at the centre of a recent food recall, has been arrested and the recall expanded in the wake of news the malathion contamination scare is believed to be the result of deliberate tampering.
In the spotlight: Premier Foods aims to bring home bread with Hovis JV
Premier Foods plc announced earlier this week that it will establish its bread business as a standalone joint venture, in which US private equity firm Gores Group will hold a majority stake. The company clearly hopes that - in conjunction with its new partner - it will be able to rejuvenate its the struggling bakery unit. Nevertheless, a number of challenges lie ahead for the heavily indebted UK food major. Katy Askew reports.
Sustainability Watch - The GMO labelling debate in the US
Having witnessed an unprecedented level of discussion in the US over the past year or so, the labelling of genetically modified foods is set to become an even more hotly and frequently debated subject stateside in the coming year. Ben Cooper reports.

I need help crafting a presentation (30 to 40 minutes). I do not need help with the slides or powerpoints (however, that's certainly an added bonus if you're able). Where I need the most help is in crafting a cohesive story and making a compelling and easy to listen to presentation.
I have a fixed deadline of Monday January 23 for the writing.
I would like to focus the talk on those factors that clarify what's going on in various industry segments (with respect to marketing and retail and not-for-profits). Preparing businesses today to meet the challenges of tomorrow. What new ways can businesses work more closely with customers using social media and emerging mobile technologies. How can new techniques improve internal communications? What are the new channels that businesses can employ to get your message heard within an ever-more-crowded media environment?

In my application, I want to execute logic at the very last moment. The later, the better.
The reason for this is that I keep track of certain elements in my application (data structures, resources, ...), and at the end of the application, a routine looks at these elements and reports if they were not correctly closed, freed, deleted, ...
Until now, we did this using several tricks.
The first trick was to overrule the _heap_term function of the C run time (and some other functions as well in the C Run Time). The advantage was that this worked very well, but was limited to applications in which the CRT was statically linked in.
The second trick was to define a global variable like this:
#pragma init_seg(lib)
GlobalApplicationManager s_globalApplicationManager;
The pragma makes sure that this global variable is constructed before all other global variables, and - more important - that it is destructed after all other global variables. This way, we can put the checking logic in the destructor of this class.
Problem is that starting from Windows 7 the destructor is not called anymore in some situations. At this moment it is not clear what influences this, but we are sure that it is not called if we make a successful Oracle connection in our application.
What other tricks are there to execute code as late as possible in an application?
