COMOROS: CHRISTIANS OPPRESSED ON INDIAN OCEAN ISLANDS
Posted on December 20, 2008 by particularkev
Muslim rule on isles east of Africa effectively criminalizes faith in Christ.
ZANZIBAR, Tanzania, Dec. 5 (Compass Direct News) – Christians on the predominantly Muslim islands of Pemba and the Comoros archipelago are beaten, detained and banished for their faith, according to church leaders who travel regularly to the Indian Ocean isles off the east coast of Africa.
These violations of religious freedom, the church leaders said, threaten the survival of Christianity on Pemba and the Comoros, with fewer than 300 Christians in a combined population of 1.1 million people. Pemba, with about 300,000 people, is part of Tanzania, while the Union of the Comoros is a nation unto itself of about 800,000.
Leaving Islam for Christianity accounts for most of the harm done to Christians, and this year saw an increase in such abuse as already-strained relations between the two communities deteriorated after the conversion in August of Sheikh Hijah Mohammed, leader of a key mosque in Chake-Chake, capital of Pemba.
News of Mohammed's conversion spread, and zealous Muslims began hunting for him as leaving Islam warrants death under sharia (Islamic law). An Assemblies of God Church in Pemba swiftly moved him to a hideout in the village of Chuini, 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the airport.
Word of the hideout eventually leaked to Muslims, however, forcing the church to move Mohammed to an undisclosed destination. This time, church elders never revealed where they had taken him. Compass was not given access to him.
A Christian from the Tanzanian island of Zanzibar who recently visited the Comoros said those suspected to have converted from Islam to Christianity face travel restrictions and confiscation of travel documents. Speaking on condition of anonymity, he noted that security officers who had been monitoring the ministries of a 25-year-old Christian confiscated his passport at the airport in July.
The Christian deprived of his passport was still looking for a way to leave the country to pursue theological studies in Tanzania.
In the early part of this year, authorities expelled a missionary from the Comoros when they discovered he was conducting Friday prayer meetings.
"The police broke into the prayer meeting, ransacked the house and found the Bibles which we had hidden before arresting us," said a source who requested anonymity. "We were detained for three months."
Law student Musa Kim, who left Islam to receive Christ nine months ago, has suffered at the hands of his kin on the Comoros. Family members beat him with sticks and blows and even burned his clothes, he said.
Kind neighbors rescued him, and Christian friends rented him a house at a secret location while his wounds healed. On Oct. 15, however, Muslim islanders discovered his hideout and razed the house he was renting.
Asked if he reported the case to the police, Kim was emphatic.
"No – reporting these people will get you into more trouble."
Muslim traders from the Persian Gulf first settled in this region early in the 10th century, after monsoon winds propelled them through the Gulf of Aden and Somalia.
Pemba and the Comoros are part of the Zanzibar archipelago, which united with Tanganyika to form the present day Tanzania in 1964. This uneasy merger, with island Muslims seeing Christianity as the means by which mainland Tanzania would dominate them, has stoked tensions ever since.
A large Arab community in the Comoros, the world's largest producer of cloves, originally came from Oman. The population consists of Arabs and native Waswahili inhabitants.
The Comorian constitution provides for freedom of religion, though it is routinely violated. Islam is the legal religion for the Comoros people, and anyone found to be practicing a different religion faces persecution.
The Zanzibar Christian who spoke on condition of anonymity termed the Comoros a "horrifying environment for one to practice Christianity," adding that it was not long after his arrival to the main island that he realized he was being monitored. He cut short his trip early last month.
"I planned to take three different taxis to the airport" to evade authorities, he said. "But thank God on that day I met a Catholic priest who gave me a lift together with some Tanzanian soldiers to the airport."
The Christian left the island quickly even though he had been issued a professional visa for 45 days. In late October, a contact had warned him that Comoros authorities were looking for him as one of the island's "most wanted" persons.
In May 2006 four men in the Comoros were sentenced to prison for three months for involvement with Christianity. There has long been widespread societal discrimination against Christians, but this level of persecution had not been reported in the Comoros since the late 1990s.

Swedavia promotes sustainable business travel through the annual public tender of sustainable aviation fuel
The airport operator Swedavia continues to contribute to the aviation industry's climate transition through the annual public tender of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) that Swedavia organizes with the aim of promoting sustainable business travel.
The public tender makes it possible for Swedavia but also for other companies and organizations to reduce the climate footprint of their business trips, as sustainable aviation fuel has the potential to reduce lifecycle carbon dioxide emissions on average by up to 80% compared to the regular jet fuel it replaces. The 2023 public tender will begin in January and Swedavia is now welcoming more organizations to participate.
Since 2016, Swedavia has carried out an annual public tender for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), to reduce the lifecycle climate emissions with respect to all of the company's own business trips. Within the framework of the public tender initiative, other organizations and companies are also offered to participate. Last year and for the third year running, in addition to Swedavia, a number of organizations and companies participated, such as the national emergency services provider SOS Alarm and the Gotland County Administration, and also the Port of Gothenburg.
"We can all contribute to sustainable travel, both as individuals and through our workplace – this applies to companies, organizations and authorities. Our public tender reduces the lifecycle emissions with respect to the individual business trip, but also contributes to increasing demand for the production of biofuel, which is necessary for aviation's climate transition," says Lena Wennberg, chief sustainable development officer at Swedavia.
Through the public tender, nearly 170 tonnes of fossil-free sustainable aviation fuel were refueled in 2022, the majority of which were used by Swedavia. The fuel corresponds to roughly 3 000 round-trip passenger flights between Stockholm and Berlin and an estimated emission reduction of roughly 500 tons of carbon dioxide compared to regular jet fuel. The majority of the sustainable aviation fuel was refueled at Stockholm Arlanda Airport between December 25 and December 29.
"It is very gratifying that our partners choose to fly more sustainably for their business trips by participating in our public tender of sustainable aviation fuel. In this way, we all contribute to more sustainable travel and the transition to a fossil-free aviation sector in the future, which should be a natural part of the sustainable transport and transport system of the future. Our goal is of course for even more organizations to participate. I therefore want to take the opportunity to welcome more participants to this year's public tender, which will start in the next few weeks", says Lena Wennberg at Swedavia.
The 2023 public tender will begin in January, with the opportunity for more organizations to participate and contribute to the transition by flying more sustainably in their business trips.
The sustainable aviation fuel is produced from used cooking oil and waste animal fats, among other materials, by the Finnish refiner Neste and is delivered by Air bp. In accordance with current fuel requirements, up to 50 per cent SAF is blended with traditional fuel and is used with existing aircraft technology and infrastructure at the airport. Using SAF, has the potential to reduce lifecycle carbon dioxide emissions on average by up to 80% compared to regular jet fuel. This emission reduction applies to the fuel in its pure form.
Swedavia works to promote the transition to sustainable air transport with the goal that five per cent of all fuel used for refuelling at Swedish airports should be fossil-free by 2025. We have for many years, worked for a transition towards sustainable air travel at all Swedavia-owned airports. We have made this transition and became fossil-free in our own airport operations in 2020. Under the Swedish government's Fossil-Free Sweden initiative, on which we base our work, the goal is to reach fossil-free air travels for all domestic flights in Sweden by 2030. For international flights, all flights taking off from Swedavia's airports are to be fossil-free by 2045.
Facts about the public tender
The most recent public tender was carried out by Swedavia in the fall of 2022 and resulted in an agreement for the delivery of sustainable fuel. The delivery of the fuel took place between December 25 and December 29. The sustainable aviation fuel is purchased as a service and is used for refuelling at one of Swedavia's ten airports. This produces an actual reduction in carbon dioxide emissions at the source. It is not a question of a carbon offset.
In accordance with current fuel requirements, up to 50 per cent SAF is blended with traditional fuel and used with existing aircraft technology and infrastructure at airports.
Sustainable aviation fuel contributes to the potential of reducing fossil carbon dioxide emissions by up to around 80 percent in the fuel's purest form. The emission reduction is made possible thanks to the raw materials from which the fuel is manufactured. However, some fossil fuels are used in the production chain, which therefore results in a final reduction of approximately 80 percent.

Abruzzo is a tough place to get to (I remember taking a 5 hour train ride from Rome to Pescara) but when you do get there you are rewarded with one of Italy's most wild and natural regions. The territory is a harsh one, in fact it's almost 70% mountainous, and the local farmers have learned to best utilize their surroundings.
In the southern part of the region you find Cantine Mucci, a stones throw from the Abruzzo coast, in a lovely little village Torino di Sangro. Here, my Mucci ancestors left for America close to a hundred years ago, and I'm sure it was difficult to leave such a beautiful area behind.
Upon arrival to Cantine Mucci, I was almost always greeted by "nonno" Valentino, who until his recent passing, was usually in the field grabbing some vegetables for dinner. He would hand his granddaughter Aurelia (now together with her brother Valentino, the face of Cantine Mucci) and I some fave beans to snack on as we enjoyed a lovely sunny afternoon in the vineyard. Valentino was an integral part of the team, as he would spend at least an hour a day bottling Cantine Mucci wines.
Here, family is always most important. There is also a great deal of passion and respect for the environment in the creation of fantastic wines made from the best local grapes Abruzzo has to offer.
Luigi Mucci created Cantine Mucci in 1895, preaching this respect and care for the vineyards that is apparent in the glass. Today, three generations of Muccis work together hand in hand to create Pecorino, Falanghina, Montepulciano and Trebbiano among others.
Dinner on the coast in the land of the Trabocchi, old spider-like fishing docks, is a great way to get a feel for the local cuisine. Marinated anchovies, whole fish soups, and grilled octopus are just a few dishes that can be enjoyed with a local Pecorino and Cerasuolo. Meals start with the rose (Cerasuolo) whose fattiness and tannin help cut through some of the heartier fish antipasti. Pasta and clams most likely come next. And don't forget a whole fish preparation just when you thought you had no room left in your stomach. Kelsey and I always joke that we spend more time eating than doing anything else on our wine travels, but nowhere is this more true than when we are with family in Abruzzo.
In 1895, the Muccis started selling their grapes to larger cooperatives before selling those grapes to smaller individual bottlers. The most recent phase, of course, is utilizing their grapes to produce their own very high quality wines. Gone are the majority of the international varietals they planted historically to sell off. Within the last 10 years, a small 2 hectare plot of Pecorino has been planted. They have had so much success with this that I expect the amount of Pecorino grown on the property to triple within the next few years.
The Muccis were the first to plant Falanghina in Abruzzo (as of now there are still only 4 or 5 others in Abruzzo who grow it) in the late 80's. When Nicola Mucci was studying enology in Campania, he fell in love with the varietal and decided to take a chance and plant it on his property. He took a shot that has really paid off! The wine was planted in a portion of the property where there is a high concentration of clay, which has helped to create a one of a kind Falanghina.
In total the Muccis have about 40 hectares of total land. Much of that land is dedicated to olive oil production, which they have also produced for over a hundred years. A huge chunk of the vineyards grows the local star grape varietal, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. The vine training and age of the vines vary, which helps them to produce different styles of Montepulciano. For the Cantico line, their high end Montepulciano, most of the vines are grown in the "tendone" or canopy style. This literal canopy, when properly and carefully managed, helps shade the grapes from hot Abruzzo sun, allowing for a more balanced wine.
What is amazing about each individual vineyard site is the diversity of the soil. Most small producers will follow the lead of the soil, planting certain varietals in soil conditions that they believe the varietal have the most success. In the darkest, heartiest of soil goes the Montepulciano that will make the Cantico. Their Valentino Montepulciano, on the other hand, will come from a mix of clay and calcareous soil, which will lead to a less robust wine. There is a great diversity of soil compositions, plant life and fruit at Cantine Mucci. All of this contributes to the unique DNA of this property and the wines which come from it.
Intense straw yellow color shows that this wine has aging behind it. On the nose the tropical fruit aromas are heavenly, with melon being the most apparent. In terms of mouth feel, the oak aging helps give this wine great structure and a certain richness.
• Antipasti: prosciutto crudo, coppa, marinated salmon.
Refined in stainless steel vats with inert gas protection; the remaining 50% in barrels with racking at the end of bâtonnage until March. The two parts finally are blended together in bottle.
Intense ruby red color, with hints of cherries, blackberries and liquorice, smooth and well-balanced tannins.
• Goes great with a cuban cigar on the back porch too!
Refined in stainless steel vats protected by inert gas, clarification and bottling. Aging in medium toasted French oak barriques for 12 to13 months. The barriques are stored in climate controlled quarters, decanting and refilling to the brim throughout the period.
A sparkling blend of Pecorino and Falanghina, you kidding me? Nope. This is what all the cool kids on the Abruzzo coast are drinking right now! Straw yellow color with greenish hues. There are tons of exotic fruits happening here, grapefruit, peach, passion fruit with a slight lip puckering sour note. The bubbles are quite persistent making for a very refreshing wine. What an elegant wine this is with some awesome acidity helping to make it complex yet extremly refreshing and easy to drink.
Grapes are harvested from the 5th to the 15th of September for both the Pecorino and Falanghina. A primary fermentation in stainless steel occurs according to the the Charmant method, obtained directly from the grape must. Second fermentation occurs in autoclave, until the wine reaches 5.5 bars of pressure. At this point there are 15g/L of residual sugars. The wine will then spend a month in autoclave at 41 degrees fahrenheit and then a month in the bottle before being available for sale.
Refined in stainless steel vats protected by inert gas, clarification and bottling.
Cherry red color, fragrant with notes of fresh strawberry, full bodied and soft. In some vintages, the wine will even have pleasant tannins.
The Muccis have been mastering the Montepulciano grape since the late 1800s. Since there were a few Mucci families in this region in the mid 20th century, each one was given a nickname to differentiate the families. Our Muccis were given the name "Cianos", short for Montepulciano, as they were well known for having success with the grape. Valentino is their truest form of the grape, without oak and capturing the essence of the varietal. Notes of violet, soft earth and round red fruits, bright acid and pleasant tannin.
Anything from pasta with pomodoro to roasted meats, the wine serves as a versatile partner with a range of foods.
After the malolactic fermentation, decanting and aging in stainless steel vats until bottling.
Deep red ruby color, with an aroma of ripe fruit combined with a hint of spice and vanilla. Rich, velvety, with good structure that is moderately tannic and balanced.
The Santo Stefano grows in a plot of land that has higher elevation and a bit marine influence because of its close proximity to the ocean. At the entrance to the hillside plot are the remains of a monastery built by Santo Stefano centuries ago. The grapes are harvested a bit earlier than the Cantico Montepulciano. After the malolactic fermentation, decanting and sulphuring and eventually aging in barriques in climate controlled quarters.

Sometimes , An architect is stimulated by architectture itself . The object that appears by seeing the building site, analyzing the condition and going through the schemes.
The original building site has a state forest behind, and is located on the top of Kitano-cho with a panoramic view of the city of Kobe. Inside the gate, a traffic circle is located in the center and the building encircled it. There is a tennis court inner part. The client's house is on the top of the slope,where you could feel the prosperity of Kobe after the war.
The project to build an apartment for rent was started as a result of unavoidable circumstances of inheritance. The request of the client to keep the lifestyle in memory of her deceased husband was consistent. Responding to a request and considering the meaning of architecture, I elicted an answer. That was to coexist the memories of the place and the house .
The building is floated by curved pillars as if it was carefully settled. It's a spectator seat to enjoy the view rather than a house. I tried to measure the distance between the memories and the site. From the point of view of coexistence of memories, the form of the building was decided by considering the flow planning of the rotary placed in the center. I took advantage of spline curve design in order to define the common point of the site and the building. The spline curve line is linked to a wall of the residential space which is floating.
Various "lines" of life such as the movement of people, light and the wind devide the space inside and becomes a partition. The same shape pillars stands in sequence. By that I tried to fragmentate the meaning of the building and show it's ambiguity.
The schemes were piled up by considering various "lines(flows)", which came from the condition of the site, the issues of the plan, what naturally happened to come out in the process, and so on. By that, the necessity of the architecture came out with an autonomy. Which means that the architecture starts to face with the architect from a certain point.
I call an architecture in this state as an "object". The completed "object" also stimulates the architect's sense and leave architect's hands. When the spline curves leaves the hand of the architect, it makes a humane flow of time and makes a place in a comfortable scale. And the architecture will posses the power to exist as an "object".
Could we or can architects who try to bear the next age enlighten the world??
Considering such a question, l even so want to be paticular about the "FORM" of building.

McGill University Chapter of the Vertical Flight Society has officially been reinstated for the 2018-2019 school year! The executive team of the Chapter consists of 7 aerospace enthusiasts who are also McGill Engineering students (six in Mechanical Engineering and one in Civil Engineering). The students formed the executive committee in March of 2018 due to their deep interest in vertical flight. VFS McGill is a wonderful chance for students to bridge the gap between vertical flight and the aerospace industry. This group is also a great opportunity for students to begin building their future careers, especially in the booming aerospace hub of Montreal. Although there was briefly an American Helicopter Society McGill Chapter from 2015-2017 this group has been reinstated and with the help of their faculty advisor Dr. Inna Sharf and our industry advisor Siarhei Kudzinauv, the McGill chapter will be long-lasting this time around.
They kicked off the school year with a Meet and Greet in October where they introduced the club to the campus and were able to engage with students interested in vertical flight. They had an exciting turnout for this event and recruited a team of students who are willing to participate in the Micro Air Vehicle Competition together this year. Some additional events they have planned for this year include a speaker event in November with Craig Huisson from Pratt and Whitney Canada and hopefully some plant tours with Bell Helicopter and CAE in the winter. The McGill chapter is also going to be teaming up with the more well established Concordia chapter to put on a conference in January. The team at McGill are extremely excited for all the opportunities that they will be exploring this upcoming school year.

Who's winning the mobile phone race?
Ben Stevens
You'd be forgiven for thinking Nokia's had a quiet time of late, but it's still sitting pretty in pole position, selling more mobiles than any other manufacturer according to recent stats. But the tides are starting to turn…
As far as the rest of the mobile manufacturer table (provided by Gartner's Q2 2011 figures) there's been a lot of movement lower down the league, which suggests that come next year the giant may just be knocked from its majestic perch.
There are already questions surrounding this Scandinavian brand, since Nokia's market share lead has in fact slipped from a dominant 30% last year, to a less impressive 23%.
So why is this mobile phone stalwart suffering? A few years ago it felt like there was a new Nokia handset every day – that doesn't appear to be the case anymore. Perhaps "quality and not quantity" has become Nokia's new in-house mantra, but I'm not convinced we've seen much of either of late.
The movers and shakers
It's not only Nokia that's resolutely clung to its spot, however, as Samsung has retained second place, while LG has held tight in third. Samsung's sales figures have edged upwards, largely thanks to the best-selling Galaxy II handset, but LG, has shed numbers in both sales volume and its market share hold.
LG really has to start worrying about losing its third place, because who's bobbing up behind them? Apple. Incredibly, Apple has shifted more than twice as many iPhones during this year's second quarter than last. And it's this aggression that has caused BlackBerry manufacturer, RIM, to drop in position.
Sony Ericsson certainly seems to be floundering. It has now dropped to a lowly 10th, doing worse than last year despite its recent efforts with a PlayStation-branded smartphone. What does Sony Ericsson have to do to grab your attention?
Motorola, meanwhile, Google's latest acquisition, sold around two million fewer phones this time around and thus dropped two places to eighth. But can Motorola's newly-attained Google clout change its fortune, and where does all this leave the still relatively new kid on the block, HTC?
As a keen and early advocate of Android, HTC has continued to rise, leaping from ninth place in the table last year to seventh, just behind freefalling BlackBerry. But are holes beginning to appear in HTC's nouveau riche fabric, and should this ascent be attributed to a piggyback from a little green Android robot?
Android climb to fame
Talking of Android, Google's mobile operating system has had a magnificent climb to fame – almost 47,000 Android handsets were sold in the second quarter of this year, up from just 11,000 last year. That's a massive jump in market share terms – Android now holds a comfortable 43%.
Android's rise to power is evidence of Nokia's struggles. Nokia's own OS (Symbian) last year held 40% of the market, but now only clings on to 22% – Android has kicked Nokia in the teeth, and its recent allegiance with Microsoft doesn't look like it's going to help.
The winners then aren't necessarily those in the lead, but those heading in the right direction. With recent impressive numbers and the imminent arrival of the iPhone 5, Apple may be climbing up the chart very soon.
Nokia may be sitting pretty at the top, but it needs to get its act together. Smartphone sales might be up by 74%, but Nokia needs to change tact – it clearly can't go on selling second-rate smartphones and feature phones for long and expect to stay in first place.

Were you aware of carbon footprint calculators before reading this article?
Yes, and I've used one before
Yes, but I've never used one before
wavechange says:
In the smartphone market, there has got to be a good opportunity for any manufacturer that focuses on some practical issues, for example:
* reliability (as reported in Which? magazine, smartphones tend to be less reliable than other mobiles)
* water resistance (water damage is a very common problem and manufacturers should realise that it rains in the UK)
* battery life (smartphones have pathetic battery life so need a larger battery and/or a battery that can be replaced without dismantling them)
* security (it's not just business users that need this and there is plenty of scope for improvement)
* robustness (smartphones have large screens that are easily cracked)
Accommodating some of these changes might result in phones that are less sleek, but perhaps that is a small price to pay. Quite frankly, some of the current offerings are not fit for everyday use.
Any manufacturer that tackled these points would get my vote, and my money.
jo g says:
Yes! Definitely! Reliability is my main BlackBerry bugbear. Mine has always had a software fault that can't be fixed by upgrading the software via my compute (mostly because the computer won't connect to it – recognise it, but not connect).
The web browser crashes the phone on sites that don't have a mobile version (and mobile versions tend not to have full functionality) like Which? Convo. I've removed the battery so many times the back is likely to fall off.
The messaging applications crash 5 or 6 times a day now – thankfull just a shut down fixes that, as a reboot takes at least 5 minutes if not more.
And battery life is less than 1 day, even with average use. If I've got a lot of emails to go through (on the bus I sort my volunteer role emails out), then I'm lucky to have battery left by the time I get home, even when it was charged overnight.
My ifriend says I need an iPhone. But then she's just biased.
Have you accepted WhatsApp's new terms and conditions?
Update: sales of network locked phones to be banned
Has the pandemic changed the way we use our mobiles?
The great phones I just can't recommend

Maybe you've heard the term vertical integration before. It's being thrown around a lot, especially in a time when companies are looking for competitive advantages in order to make an impact in global markets like India. With an enormous population and burgeoning middle class, India is shaping up to be the next economic powerhouse. With a market share this big, it only makes sense that companies are looking to get a piece of the action, while also cutting down costs and making their business models efficient and cost-effective. That's where vertical integration comes into play.
Vertical integration is when a company controls more than one part of the supply chain. There are two facets to this type of integration, forward integration and backward integration.
Forward integration is when a company owns a facet of the supply chain that is "upstream" from them, an example would be an oil drilling company also owning a refinery. Backward integration is when a company owns a part of the business that is "downstream" from them, an example would be a sandwich shop owning a factory that produces bread. When a company owns one or more of these steps in the supply chain that company is considered a vertically integrated one.
When it comes to entering the Indian market it will be essential for companies to vertically integrate to stay competitive and deliver, literally.
The ability to deliver products to customers in a timely fashion is going to be one of the most difficult challenges for e-commerce companies in India to achieve. Due to India's subpar infrastructure companies are going to have to find creative ways to get products into the hands of their customers in a timely and efficient manner. This is why some companies are looking into drone technology in order to, in the future, own their own reliable means of delivery.
Drone delivery, however, is far off in the future, but there is a way that companies can make it easier for themselves when it comes to navigating India's tricky terrain right now. Quantified Commerce, a vertically integrated company that builds their own brands and sells directly to the customer via the internet owns its own factories, warehouses, call centers and trucks, the latter of which allows them to keep both the cost and time of delivery down compared to their competition.
We spoke to co-founder of Quantified Commerce, Agam Berry, to see how vertically integrating allows for his company to stay effective in India. "In India, it takes most companies 5-7 days to get their product in customers hands, but because we own our own infrastructure it only takes us two." The advantage Quantified Commerce has owning the supply chain end-to-end not only leads to happier customers, but also allows for them to hold inventory for a shorter period of time, "we don't hold our inventory as long as other companies do, which gives us a huge advantage, and since we're able to sell directly to the customer via the internet we cut the cost of a retailer, and pass those savings on to the customer" said Berry.
Berry also pointed out the benefits his company sees from owning and maintaining their own warehouses and manufacturing, which allows Quantified Commerce to avoid the pitfalls that other companies run into while trying to gain a foothold in India, "other companies don't realize that price is really key for the Indian consumer, and by owning manufacturing and warehouses we are able to keep our costs down, which allows us to pass that saving to the consumer."
Those low prices Berry talked about aren't at the sacrifice of quality or customer experience. "We own our own call centers as well, which allows us to provide superior customer service," said Berry, "and the fact that we can sell directly to our customers means a better customer experience." A better customer experience is extremely important, especially in a day and age when the competition is just a click away.
While India is still growing, it is fast becoming one of the bigger markets in the world. The country is complex to navigate, but companies are going to need to figure out how to navigate it if they're going to thrive in the ever-expanding world of digital e-commerce. While there are many problems facing companies that are looking to make inroads into India, vertical integration is becoming a necessary step to doing it successfully.

Algerian striker Baghdad Bounedjah scored twice for Al Sadd in their opening AFC Champions League match of 2018.
The Qatari side came back from behind to beat United Arab Emirates outfit Al Wasl in the Zabeel Stadium in Dubai to earn all three points in the first group match.
Having not even started the game as he continues to recover from injury, Bounedjah came on in the 70th minute and made a huge impact for a team.
But it was not until the 79th minute that the ex-Harrach forward scored the equaliser. Xavi played the ball into him and he turned and scored inside the penalty area.
And then in the final minute of the game, the 26-year-old scored the winner for his side from close range with a cool finish inside the box to seal the win for his team.
Bounedjah is surely going to be involved in Rabah Madjer's squad for the upcoming Algeria matches, and should be competing for a starting position in the national team.
With eleven goals in his last ten matches for Al Sadd in all competitions, Bounedjah is in fantastic form for the club and hopefully he can come back from injury stronger and keep performing as strongly for his country.

The status of statins
They reduce harmful cholesterol, but should healthy women be taking them?
Where would we be without cholesterol? It's a vital component of cell membranes and nerve sheaths. It forms the basis of sex hormones. It enables bile acids to process the food we eat. As Martha Stewart might say, "It's a good thing." But since the mid-1960s, we've learned that we can have too much of a good thing. Medical research has demonstrated that excess levels of cholesterol in the blood can lead to atherosclerosis, heart attacks, and strokes.
Healthier living can reduce cholesterol levels, but by only so much. If levels are very high or must be brought down rapidly, more is needed. Billions of dollars and years of research have gone into developing an ideal drug for reducing cholesterol — specifically LDL cholesterol, the bad kind. In 1987, with the introduction of lovastatin (Mevacor), it appeared that the magic pill had arrived.
Lovastatin was the first in a line of compounds known as statins, which now sit at the top of the drug sales charts. Statin use continues to grow as guidelines for cholesterol are revised downward and clinical studies show that these drugs are effective in preventing heart attacks in men with elevated cholesterol and in members of both sexes who already have heart disease. Controlled trials haven't shown that statins can prevent heart attacks in healthy women with elevated cholesterol, but these drugs are increasingly prescribed for that purpose anyway, because there is no evidence of sex-related differences in the metabolism of statins or their side effects and adverse outcomes.
The evidence for statins
Since lovastatin's introduction in 1987, more than 100,000 people have participated in controlled trials of statins. Nearly six out of seven participants have been men, mainly because men develop heart disease earlier and make up a greater share of heart patients. These studies have found a 25% to 40% reduction in male cardiac events and cardiac deaths. Perhaps not surprisingly, they are less informative about the effects of statins on women. Many studies simply combined data for men and women, and others didn't include enough women to permit statistically significant conclusions.
Hoping to get more definitive answers, researchers from the University of California at San Francisco and the University of North Carolina combined and re-analyzed the data for women in several major statin studies. Writing in the Journal of the American Medical Association (May 12, 2004), they offered these conclusions:
Statins reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in women who already have heart disease. Five studies yielded data on women with existing coronary artery disease — the Scandinavian Simvastatin Survival Study (4S), the Pravastatin, Lipids, and Atherosclerosis in the Carotid Arteries (PLAC-II) trial, the Cholesterol and Recurrent Events (CARE) trial, the Long-term Intervention with Pravastatin in Ischemic Disease (LIPID) trial, and the Heart Protection Study (HPS). Women who took statins had about a 20% lower risk of coronary events than women taking placebo pills.
Statins reduce the risk of fatal heart attacks in women with cardiovascular disease. Women taking statins were 26% less likely to die of coronary disease than those taking a placebo. However, both groups had a similar risk of death from all causes.
It's not clear whether statins reduce the risk of cardiovascular events or cardiac death in healthy women with high cholesterol.
Statins (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors)
Altoprev, Mevacor
Lowers LDL and triglycerides; raises HDL. Should not be taken by pregnant women, heavy drinkers, or people with active or chronic liver disease. Should be used with caution by those taking gemfibrozil, cyclosporine, clofibrate, erythromycin, or niacin. Can increase the effect of warfarin.
pravastatin
Pravachol, Pravigard
Lescol
rosuvastatin*
*Should be started at low doses in people over age 65, those who have hypothyroidism or kidney disease, and Asian Americans, to reduce the risk for severe muscle damage and kidney failure.
Other effects of statins
Statins should be taken only when cholesterol remains high despite lifestyle changes (reducing dietary fats, losing excess weight, and exercising more). Many people have been on these drugs for many years, and we are beginning to discover that they may do more than lower cholesterol. For example:
They may reduce breast cancer risk. There's some evidence from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) and other studies that certain statins protect against breast cancer. The WHI data showed an 18% reduced risk for new breast cancers among women taking lovastatin, simvastatin (Zocor), and fluvastatin (Lescol) — but no effect for pravastatin (Pravachol) or atorvastatin (Lipitor).
They may reduce gallstones. A 2007 report from the Nurses' Health Study indicates that statin use might help prevent gallstones from forming, particularly in women who have diabetes. Women in the study who were taking statins had an 18% lower rate of gallbladder surgery, compared with women not taking statins; for diabetic women who had been taking statins for two or more years, the reduction was 75%.
They may slow cognitive decline. More than 3,300 participants in the Cardiovascular Health Study — an NIH-sponsored observational investigation of women and men ages 65 or older — were given cognitive tests annually for seven years. The test scores of those who were taking statins declined less from year to year.
They may reduce C-reactive protein (CRP). In several studies, statin use has been associated with a reduction in CRP, the inflammatory marker that is emerging as a risk factor for heart disease. An ongoing study — Justification for the Use of Statins in Primary Prevention — is testing whether a newer statin, rosuvastatin (Crestor), can reduce heart attack risk in men and women with normal LDL cholesterol but elevated C-reactive protein levels.
All drugs have side effects, and statins are no exception. But their side effects are widely known, and, for the most part, mild. They include the following:
Muscle problems. Statins commonly cause muscle pain (myalgia). Rarely, statin use can lead to rhabdomyolysis — severe muscle deterioration, with the release of muscle proteins into the blood. If that happens, the kidneys can fail, overwhelmed by the task of removing those proteins from the body. Fatal rhabdomyolysis occurs in only about one person per million using the currently approved statins.
Statin users who experience muscle pain should be given blood tests to check their levels of creatine kinase (CK), an enzyme released in muscle breakdown. For simple myalgia without elevated CK levels, it may help to switch to a different statin.
Liver toxicity. Long-term statin use has been associated with elevated blood levels of liver enzymes. Statin users should have their blood checked regularly, and if liver enzyme levels reach three times normal, the statin should be replaced with a different type of cholesterol-lowering drug.
When not to take statins
If you're pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Studies in animals and pregnant women have found evidence of a relationship between statin use and fetal abnormalities or risks.
If you're a heavy drinker or have active liver disease. Statins put an additional burden on the liver and may trigger liver failure.
Do you need a statin?
In its latest guidelines, the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) has set goals for LDL cholesterol levels based on individual risk of a heart attack during the next 10 years. You can assess your own risk by using the Framingham risk calculator at http://hp2010.nhlbihin.net/atpiii/calculator.asp. Here are the NCEP's recommendations:
High risk (those who have had a cardiac event or been diagnosed with heart disease or diabetes). The goal is an LDL level of less than 100 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) — or, in some cases, less than 70 mg/dL. This can be hard to achieve with lifestyle changes alone, and treatment is urgent, so women in this category routinely receive statins.
Moderately high risk (10-year heart attack risk at 10% to 20%, plus the presence of two or more risk factors, such as smoking, hypertension, or low HDL cholesterol). The goal is an LDL level of less than 130 mg/dL. If LDL cholesterol is 130 mg/dL or higher, begin lifestyle changes and consider statins.
Moderate risk (10-year heart attack risk at less than 10%, plus two or more risk factors). The goal is an LDL level below 130 mg/dL. If LDL cholesterol is 130 mg/dL or higher, begin lifestyle changes; if it's 160 mg/dL or higher, consider statins.
Low risk (zero to one risk factor). The goal is an LDL level below 160 mg/dL. Consider statins if LDL cholesterol exceeds 190 mg/dL.
At age 70, heart disease overtakes cancer as the leading cause of death in women. At the same time, elevated cholesterol in the absence of actual heart disease becomes less important as a risk factor. Studies have yet to show that statins benefit older women who have elevated cholesterol but no symptoms of heart disease. Unfortunately, the Prospective Study of Pravastatin in the Elderly at Risk (the only statin study focused on people over age 70) didn't separate the data by sex. In this study, the placebo group had more cardiac events than the group taking pravastatin, but the death rate in the two groups was the same.
The story behind statins
Statins work by altering the metabolism of cholesterol, a complex fat that the body needs for many purposes. Most of the body's cholesterol is produced by liver cells, and most of the rest comes from the food we eat.
Cholesterol is insoluble in water, so it can't circulate in blood plasma without a protective shroud of lipoproteins, which are part fat and part protein. Cholesterol's ultimate destination depends on whether the shroud consists of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or high-density lipoprotein (HDL). LDL particles deliver cholesterol to cells throughout the body; HDL particles mop up excess cholesterol and carry it back to the liver for disposal. If the body produces more LDL cholesterol than the cells can absorb, it settles in artery walls and contributes to atherosclerotic plaque. That's why LDL is often called "bad" cholesterol and HDL "good" cholesterol — even though the body needs both kinds.
As researchers came to suspect that high LDL cholesterol levels raised the risk for heart attack and stroke, they began to explore drug treatments. By the 1980s, three classes of drugs were available: fibrates, which reduce the liver's production of triglycerides (noncholesterol fat that's also carried by lipoproteins); bile-acid sequestrants, which reduce cholesterol by binding with bile acids; and niacin, which raises HDL levels and lowers triglycerides. All these agents have unpleasant side effects: fibrates cause nausea and upset stomach; bile acid sequestrants cause flatulence and constipation; and niacin triggers flushing.
Lovastatin was introduced in 1987. This new drug was designed to block the liver enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which promotes cholesterol production. Lovastatin dramatically reduced circulating cholesterol with negligible side effects. Other similar drugs followed, with names like simvastatin and pravastatin, and the group became known collectively as statins.
How statins work
Most of the cholesterol circulating in the blood is made by the liver. Statins inhibit the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, a key player in determining the amount of cholesterol the liver makes.
We still have much to learn, but the benefits of statins seem to outweigh the risks for women with heart disease. They are probably a good bet if you have high cholesterol and have been diagnosed with cardiovascular disease. If you're at increased risk for heart disease and can't get your LDL cholesterol down to acceptable levels, discuss the matter with your doctor. If you're on the fence, stay tuned. New data are emerging all the time.

Analyzing Literature-to-Film Adaptations: A Novelist's Exploration and Guide [9781441149985]
This is an introduction of an academic means for critical analysis of film adaptations. Critical questions specific to film adaptations need to be not only developed but established. And, these questions, these approaches, need to be accessible to students, who are not yet educationally sophisticated enough to digest purely theoretical material. Analyzing Literature-to-Film Adaptations: A Novelist's Exploration and Guide signifies an exploration into film adaptation from a novelists' perspective, from the author working with a screenwriter, embarking on a journey to understand the implications of literature-to-film adaptation and the complexities and problems it raises. Using well-known adaptations ( Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Children of Men, The Handmaid's Tale, The Hours; The Cider House Rules, Beloved, Atonement; No Country for Old Men, and The Road ) this book will put forth an understanding of film and film analysis, as well as address literary analysis; though the crux of this book will be the introduction of an academic means for critical analysis of film adaptations. It will focus on literature-to-film adaptations, or literary narratives (novels, novellas, and short stories) being adapted to film.
