1st e-Seminar in association with
Life,
Liberty and
The Indian Jurisprudence
on Individual's
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness".
- American Declaration of Independence (1776)
Ours is an age of information, more particularly, electronic information. No doubt, even today, information is knowledge, but technology is more powerful, as it has practically and fundamentally interconnected life of individuals. Internet has taken over everything, and metaphorically it can be termed omnipresent. It not only aids the free flow of information, but also connects people, provides a platform for e- commerce, e-banking, e-trading, e-reading, e-booking and even for e-streaming. Unsurprisingly, it comes with uninvited problems as well, as every transaction performed with the help of internet leaves electronic tracks generally without the knowledge of the user. These electronic tracks contain data and information which provide insight on the kind of person the user is and her interests. Precisely, this information gives a picture of the being and the things that matter and therefore, raises privacy concerns that depict serious issues in this age of information and technology, more particularly in a democracy where the 'right to privacy' has taken the shape of fundamental rights by virtue of the judicial activism.
The uniqueness of the constitutional jurisprudence could be evidenced through the extended dimension of Article 21 of the Indian Constitution. Right to privacy is one of those rights which have come into existence after widening of the purview of Article 21 of the Constitution. Initially the Constitution of India didn't guarantee the right to privacy, but the Supreme Court of India in order to articulate and enforce what is 1 American Declaration of Independence (1776) beneficial for the society in general and people at large, through its landmark judgment delivered on August 24, 2017, in the case of Justice K.S. Puttaswamy (Retd) vs. Union of India, enforced the right to privacy of 1.3 billion people as one of the essential fundamental right. The Hon'ble Apex Court, while delivering the Puttaswamy's judgment, not only overruled its two early decisions—MP Sharma vs. Satish Chandra in 1954, and Kharak Singh vs. State of Uttar Pradesh in 1962—which had held that privacy was not a fundamental right, but also declared that the 'right to privacy' is protected as an intrinsic part of the right to life and personal liberty under Article 21 of the Constitution and as a part of the freedoms guaranteed by the Part III of the Constitution.
The judgment of K. S. Puttuswamy has an incidental implication on the complex relation between the personal privacy and the big data, particularly in the context of how the judicious use of these technologies can result in the State achieving its legitimate interests with greater efficiencies. This case has recognized the impact that non-government entities can have on personal privacy, particularly with respect to informational privacy on the internet. While it is very clear that fundamental rights could be enforced only against the state, looking the broad language of this the various experts has stated that it could be extended to private sectors as well.
This judgment has definitely widened the regime of right to privacy and is definitely going to bring a large number of sectors infringing the privacy laws within its purview. It is hoped that conducting a discussion amongst legal luminaries, academics, members of the Bench, the Bar and enforcement agencies during the proceedings of this e-seminar would be fruitful at a time when the dimensions of the Right to Privacy is changing vividly in India. The first of its kind e-Seminar also seeks to distillate the experience and suggestions of various stakeholders in preparing a database for the lawmakers and policy planners to appropriately frame a Data Protection Law to address the concerns relating to Data Protection, Data Privacy and the Privacy of the individuals in what is being called as the Digital India.

Get those taste buds tingling. Trying out and savoring Lebanese food is bound ot be one of the highlights of any trip to Lebanon, as the local cuisine, bursting with flavor, skillfully combining Mediterranean and Oriental influences, is simply one of the best in the world. So pluck up your courage and try some of the familiar dishes.
A Lebanese meal traditionally start off with a variety of hot and cold starters or Mezze, served on small round or oval dishes with a plate of fresh salad vegetables, such as lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and green pepper that can be cut up and eaten up as accompaniment. There are over 50 different mezze and each family or restaurant has its own individual way of preparing and serving them.
Main dishes consist of meat Kebabs, usually chicken, beef or lamb, grilled over an open for to bring out the succulents and smoky flavors, but you will also find grilled and fried fish on the menu of many beach restaurants, where it is left to the head of the family to select the ice-cold display counter.
The Lebanese love to eat plenty of the flat pitta-bread with their meals, using it instead of cutlery, to scoop mouthfuls of food. See if you can spot mountain bread known as Markook, which is as thin as a paper and often used to wrap roasted chicken in.
If you still have room for more food, you can nibble on some fresh fruit or typical Arabic sweets, accompanied by coffee. In Paris you snack on a croissant, in New York a hotdog, London a sandwich, in Beirut it's a Manouche, a pizza like bread, traditionally spread with crushed thyme (zaatar), sesame seeds and olive oil or cheese, or a combination of both. A manouche should be served freshly baked from the oven and can be eaten at any time of the day.
Lebanese sweets are no exception. Make sure to taste the Beklawa or Kanafe Bi Jibin as a breakfast before hitting the slopes.

Boston or Bust
The tradition of New England fandom in Matt Kiernan's family hasn't skipped generations. His grandfather was born and raised in Providence, Rhode Island. His mother was born in the Bronx, however, she attended Pawtucket Red Sox games with her father. It snowballed from there and the support for the Celtics, Patriots, and Bruins followed.
Kiernan curbs his intensity at sporting events while self-describing as a crazy fan. As a Westchester, New York native, there's naturally some tension with others. "I just like messing with some fans," said Kiernan. "I was at the Islanders-Bruins game. The Bruins lost 4-1 and Islander fans were chirping. 'You guys enjoy your Stanley Cup while the Bruins go play for the real one.'" It's the same mentality when engaging with confident Yankee fans. "Enjoy the basement and barely making the playoffs." Every New York team is deemed intolerable except for the Mets.
Celebrating has become common in New England and it's hard to narrow down the best highlights of recent memory. Julian Edelman's improbable catch in Super Bowl LI seemingly defied physics. Kiernan was just an 8-year-old when Dave Roberts stole second and sparked baseball's most unlikely comeback in the 2004 ALCS. The Bruins won the Stanley Cup in 2011 and returned in the months following the Boston Marathon Bombing. Kevin Garnett has surely earned Kiernan's affection. "I love KG," said Kiernan. "He's a psycho, but he's probably the best thing to happen to the Celtics that year." The Big Three consisting of Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2008 NBA Finals. Boston completely turned the tide after finishing with the Eastern Conference's worst record the season before.
According to Kiernan, New England fans still have a feeling of the "Little Guy" or "Little Brother Complex." The sentiment seems contradictory since New England franchises have racked up championships for two decades. The Patriots missed the playoffs in 2020 and reloaded with rookie quarterback Mac Jones in 2021. Celtics fans were devastated in 2016 at the sight of Gordon Hayward's injury months after he signed a $128 million contract. Kyrie Irving led the team to the Conference Finals during the same season and they succumbed to the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 7.
Baseball continues to be Kiernan's go-to sport yet his unapologetic enthusiasm for the Red Sox brought ridicule at a young age. Because of those experiences, he's sympathetic to those who lack loyalty to one team or bandwagon on a year-by-year basis. "I was tired of getting picked on in middle school," Kiernan said. "Do I just go with a New York Team?" But trying to be a New York Giants fan was too uncomfortable. Kiernan was warned of the consequences of wearing Boston gear. A middle school guidance counselor advised his mother to buy him new clothes because it was "antagonizing" the students. To be overly kind to the students, Kiernan dared to don an Ortiz or Pedroia jersey in the following weeks that the Sox were eliminated from the postseason.
To this day, it's Boston or bust. Red Sox athletic wear and 34-28 themed shirts are a part of morning routines. A grown man will occasionally condemn the outfit and Kiernan keeps it moving, as a true New Englander should.

In my last post, I discussed how to set hidden fields in UserControls to ensure that the control is reusable. This post will expand on that, showing how to use hidden fields as a bridge to pass data between the client and server.
MessageBox - Get the value of the clicked button.
Image Map - Get the value of the selected region.
Dynamically generated links - Get the specific link that was selected.
Create a hidden field, runat=server, viewstate enabled (this is default) to store the client side value.
In the CodeBehind of the UserControl, wrap that hidden field in a public property This is especially useful if there's any transformation on it, such as a default value if empty, or encoding/decoding. It also easily lets external objects, such as the hosting page or nested control, get the data because the hidden field should be protected.
In that function, (1) set the hidden field to the value you need, and (2) submit the form.
For example, I created a UserControl with a client-side image map that returns the selected region to the server.
I first added the hidden field "HdnRegionId" (runat=server).
Page_Load instantiates strClientId variable to hold the UserControl's ClientID.
Aspx page is rendered, all the "> store the actual UserControl id.
Optional logic can be done in the Page_Load.
The hidden field value is persisted in viewstate and is now accessible to other controls.

Cubalog.eu was established by People in Need in 2007 to provide a forum for Cubans, Europeans and others to publish their analyses, experiences and critiques of the current conditions in Cuba.
Our mission is to provide in depth coverage of actually conditions in Cuba by shining a spotlight on the issues that Cubans face as the island moves closer towards a potential transition to democracy. In addition, we want to serve as a web portal for anyone who is looking for comprehensive and credible news coverage on Cuba with a focus on human rights, democratization and global policy.
People in Need and other European NGOs have intensified their work with Cuban partners in the last few years, by traveling more frequently to Cuba to monitor human rights and by offering greater supporting the burgeoning civil society there. The Cuba-Europe Dialogue bulletin was started in 2006 as a mechanism for publishing the observations from these trips to the island.
As the name suggests, the ultimate goal of the bulletin has been to foster a dialog between Cuba and Europe by acting as a forum for ideas and support to be freely exchanged between those working for democratic changes in Cuba on the island, as well as elsewhere.
Our website and bulletin function as an outlet for independent Cuban journalists and dissidents, who have no opportunity to publish their work in Cuba. This exposes our readers to information that otherwise would be unavailable to the general public in Europe and elsewhere.
Feature articles by prominent politicians, academics and pro-democracy activists across Europe and the Americas have already been published in the Cuba – Europe Dialogues about current events and affairs in Cuba. All of these are available for free online in English and Spanish though this website. Contributions have focused on topics ranging from EU policy towards Cuba; ongoing human rights violations; the evolving nature of the Cuban economy in the 21st century and the complexities Cuba faces as it moves towards transitioning to democracy.
Dialogues require continuous feedback and reflection from the parties involved. To that end, we are hoping to get more contributions for the upcoming issues of the Cuba – Europe Dialogues, which are scheduled to be published every 6 months. In addition, we want to help promote events and actions that are taking place within Europe and elsewhere dealing with the issues in Cuba.
"…the complexities Cuba faces as it moves towards transitioning to democracy". I thought you were serious about defending freedom in Cuba but this previous phrase proves all the contrary. If you think Raúl Castro's government is heading towards democracy you are either in "la la land" or on his side.


The staff of Food Chemical News wishes our readers a happy Thanksgiving. This is a reminder our website will not be updated on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 23 or Friday, Nov. 24, but look for our Weekly Briefing. We will resume our normal schedule on Monday, Nov. 28. Enjoy!

New unit investigating record levels of abuse in Hertfordshire
Woman in fear of domestic abuse PPP-151014-095531001
James Averill
Domestic abuse accounts for 13 per cent of all the crimes Hertfordshire Police deal with – so it's important it has its own dedicated unit to investigate them all.
It's been a year since the unit – the Domestic Abuse Investigation and Safeguarding Unit (DAISU) – was launched in January 2016.
DCI Ruth Dodsworth, PCC David Lloyd, and Superintendent Paul Maghie, Head of Safeguarding for Hertfordshire Constabulary. They are pictured celebrating the first anniversary of DAISU.
And it's certainly been a busy year. In 2016, the Constabulary received more than 18,500 reports related to domestic abuse within intimate relationships.
This resulted in around 6,500 criminal investigations, including harassment, assault, stalking and attempted murder, which is an increase of almost 21 per cent compared to the previous year.
Detective Chief Inspector Ruth Dodsworth, head of DAISU, said: "Domestic abuse is a prioritised part of daily business throughout the Force.
"It has provided a centre of expertise, in the fight against this often complex area of policing."
As well as bringing offenders to justice, much of the work of teams is taken up with supporting and protecting victims and their families.
Officers applied for 28 domestic violence prevention orders (DVPOs) since the launch, banning suspects from contacting their victims.
It has also dealt with more than 60 applications for disclosure of a suspect's past under the 'Clare's Law' scheme – named after Clare Wood, who was killed by her partner in Salford in 2009.
DAISU recently secured its first conviction for the relatively new offence of coercive control.
The victim, a woman from Herts, met her ex-partner when she was a teenager. They went on to have an on/off relationship for seven years.
Following a final incident in December 2016, he was charged by police and in crown court in January, he admitted assault causing actual bodily harm and coercive control. He was sentenced to two years in prison.
The victim has now moved from her previous property in order to remain safe.
The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, said: "After the last incident I thought he would take my life or my children.
"He said he would burn us and the only thing left of my children would be their teeth. I could see it, I really felt that this would happen.
"But if you reach out, someone will help you. And it's never going to get better until you choose to do that.
"I thought that my kids would be taken away. I thought that the police would judge me. But that's not the case. If I had known it then I would've got help earlier."
The unit is being backed by Police and Crime Commissioner David Lloyd, who said domestic abuse remains one of his 'top priorities' to tackle.
He said: "Over the last year we've had more police referrals, prosecutions and convictions for domestic abuse than ever before.
"That's because people are more confident in reporting allegations and the DAISU has been strengthened to help it do even more in the future."
Anyone affected by domestic abuse can get guidance and support by calling the Herts Domestic Abuse Helpline on 08 088 088 088, or head online to www.HertsSunflower.org

Can video save the book-publishing star?
Simon & Schuster will soon be promoting authors through so-called docu-videos in the hope that putting a face on camera will sell more books.
Elinor Mills
May 24, 2007 6:17 AM PDT
What Oprah Winfrey did for novelists on television, Simon & Schuster is hoping to do with online videos.
Simon & Schuster, a part of CBS Corp., is planning to launch in early June an Internet video channel that will feature about 40 short videos of authors talking about their books and what gave them inspiration, as well as walking through the settings of their novels and explaining the context of their stories. The videos will be shown on a site called Bookvideos.tv. They will also be available at Simon & Schuster's site and hosted on one or more major online video sites, the company said.
"I'm 60 years old and I have 11 books in print," said Marianne Wiggins, whose The Shadow Catcher, a fictionalized account of the life of photographer Edward Curtis, will be among the Simon & Schuster videos. "My readers want to see who is the wizard behind the curtain. If I read a book I'm spending at least three to four days with that author in my mind. I want to know who that person is."
With book sales flat and Internet usage, particularly for video, rising fast, it was inevitable that the publishing industry would turn to the Web to help boost sales. From 2002 to 2006, sales for mass-market paperbacks dropped 1.6 percent while books sold in retail stores, including fiction and non-fiction, rose only 3.7 percent, according to figures released this week from the Association of American Publishers (AAP).
"The book-publishing industry has to compete with the Internet now and publishers should be taking advantage of the Internet," said Ed McCoyd, director of digital policy at the AAP. "I see so much of the industry going toward social networking and I think viral marketing can really take hold."
"Publishing is founded on the ultimate contradiction. The process of writing a book favors introverts and the process of promoting a book favors extraverts."
--Michael Norris, senior analyst, Simba Information
Simon & Schuster is banking on word of mouth, said Sue Fleming, vice president of online and consumer marketing for Simon & Schuster's adult publishing division. "We wanted to give people an opportunity to get something that was an extension of the reading experience," she said. "The videos offer the back story, the inside story on the book and the author."
In one of the Simon & Schuster videos, author Susan Patron discusses her children's book, The Higher Power of Lucky, about a 10-year-old girl dealing with the death of her mother and other existential matters. The book, which won the 2007 Newbery Medal, stirred controversy because critics thought the use of the word "scrotum" was inappropriate for school libraries.
TurnHere, the company creating the videos, has done videos for hotels, CitySearch merchants and other publishers and novelists, including Tom Perkins, a Silicon Valley venture capitalist and ex-husband of Danielle Steele. In his video, Perkins discusses how he came to write Sex and the Single Zillionaire after being invited to participate in a reality TV series. The pitch was that Perkins, who is in his mid-70s, would date a series of 20-year-olds and choose one to marry.
The videographers do not use scripts or actors, said Brad Inman, founder and chief executive of TurnHere, which has been privately funded by media tycoon William Randolph Hearst III. "It's not about hype or celebrity. It's about the personal stories about these people and what they do," Inman said. "There is an affinity relationship with authors and subject matters."
"It's the next logical step in book promotion," said Michael Norris, a senior analyst at Simba Information, a market research firm covering the media industry. "Book promotion has evolved away from the author book-tour model and more towards a social networking, ongoing strategy where a book is marketed longer than just during the launch period."
Instead of waiting for readers to go into book stores to discover books or sending authors on pricy reading tours, publishers hope they can tap into social-networking sites where avid readers discuss what they've read. MySpace.com, for example, has a books channel, and large publishers are providing ways for Internet users to embed parts of books into their Web sites as sort of text "widgets," said McCoyd of the AAP.
Publishers hope putting a face to a book can help it stand out from the millions of others readers have to choose from, and it can prompt people to read more works by an author they like.
"Book publishers, on the whole, are famous for not knowing how to sell books. They don't know how to make a best seller," said author Wiggins. "They don't know what is going to move a book into the reader's imagination. Is it the cover? Is it the author's face? The title?"
An author like Wiggins, who was expressive and loquacious in an interview, is likely to go over well on video. But what of the writers who are less media-friendly? Would someone like the reclusive J.D. Salinger be able to able to market himself to the Web 2.0 crowd?
"A lot of publishers depend on their authors to help market the book through radio and TV interviews, and some authors aren't the right type of person for that, but the writing will speak for itself," said Terry Nathan, director of PMA, the Independent Book Publishers Association. However, he acknowledged that an outgoing and camera-friendly author is more help to the publisher.
"Publishing is founded on the ultimate contradiction," said Norris of Simba. "The process of writing a book favors introverts and the process of promoting a book favors extroverts."

Surgeon General warns misinformation is the greatest threat to US vaccinations efforts
The U.S. Surgeon General is warning that misinformation is the greatest obstacle to vaccinating the country against COVID-19 as a dangerous variant continues to spread.
Dr Vivek Murthy told CNN on Thursday that many Americans believe the myths they hear about the shots such as them not being safe or that they alter DNA.
'There is so much misinformation out there about the vaccine, coming through so many channels – a lot of it being spread on social media,' he said.
'It's inducing a lot of fear among people. Two-thirds of those who are unvaccinated in polls say that they either believe the myths about Covid-19 or think that they might be true.'
It's a big reason behind why vaccinations in Missouri have dropped by more than 80 percent since April.
However, at the same time, cases have skyrocketed, increasing by nearly 30 percent as the the Indian 'Delta' variant takes hold and turning the state into a hotspot.
U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy warned vaccine misinformation is the biggest threat to vaccinating the country against COVID-19. Pictured: Murthy speaks during a news conference in Delaware, December 2020
Health officials said this is part of the reason why vaccinations in Missouri have dropped 85% since April as the Indian 'Delta' variant takes hold of the state
Missouri currently has the largest share of Delta variant case in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
However, it also has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the nation.
While 53.7 percent of the U.S. population has received at least one dose, the percentage goes down to 43.9 percent in Missouri.
This is especially concerning considering studies have found that two doses of the vaccines are much more effective against the Delta variant than one dose.
Murthy said he is worried for unvaccinated people the variant spreads.
Meanwhile, in the Missouri city of Springfield – 150 miles south of Kansas City – only 37 percent of people have gotten at least an initial shot.
However, hospitalizations are up 225 percent since early June and officials say Delta is to blame.
'Both hospitals here in town are stretched,' Dr Erik Frederick, chief administrative officer at Mercy Hospital Springfield, told CNN.
Cases in Missouri have risen nearly 30 percent over the last two weeks, due to the Delta variant overwhelming the state
Hospitalizations are rising across Missouri, including in one city to as high as 225% since early June. Doctors say all of their patients who are severely ill have not been vaccinated against the virus
'We saw a very rapid escalation in our in-patient census starting June 1, we went from 26 to 90 in about three weeks.
'To go back to last year when our peak started, it took us six to seven weeks to escalate that quickly. Today to hit 97, it really took us almost two months to hit that level which we've done in under a month.'
Louie Michael and his wife, Pattie, were two of the COVID-19 patients admitted to Mercy Hospital in June.
Neither of them were vaccinated and said they weren't against vaccines, but wanted to wait see how they worked in the real world before getting the shots.
However, in the hospital, Michael had a tough battle with COVID-19 and shared update about his health status daily, reported the Springfield News-Leader.
'The breathing is labored, it's tough. This stuff is real,' read one update.
Both husband and wife recovered and were discharged from the hospital, but say they regret not getting vaccinated.
'I hope people do think about getting the vaccination. It's your prerogative, but I wish I had done it just to just avoid this,' Michael told the News-Leader.
'This new Delta variant, which they do think that I might have had, is just dive bombing everybody who didn't get the other before.'
Dr Robin Trotman, an infectious diseases expert at CoxHealth, the other hospital in Springfield, says similar patients are being admitted to her hospital.
'It's nearly 100 percent of the people hospitalized with Covid pneumonia are unvaccinated,' she told CNN.
'Now we do have vaccinated people who test positive, but they don't get severely ill.
'When the staff's putting themselves at risk in these situations, and they feel like other people aren't willing to take the vaccine, despite their risk, that's, that's a hard one for some people to swallow.'

Review by Hannah Woodhead @goodjobliz
Maura Tierney Steve Carell Timothée Chalamet
Anticipation.
Sounds a bit mawkish.
Enjoyment.
Chalamet is a whirlwind; Carell tethers him to reality.
In Retrospect.
Devastating, dramatic, but most of all empathic.
Steve Carell and Timothée Chalamet play a father and son pushed to the edge in this tender drug addiction drama.
At the tender age of 22, Timothée Chalamet has the world at his feet. His confident turn in Call Me by Your Name launched a thousand Twitter fan accounts and earned him an Academy Award nomination. Such success so young could be a poisoned chalice – how do you follow up a performance as remarkable as that? The short answer, judging by Chalamet's latest: you head in the opposite direction.
Felix Van Groeningen's Beautiful Boy, based on the twin memoirs of David Sheff and his son Nic, is a million miles from tender teen romance on the sun- dappled piazzas of Crema. Nic (Chalamet) is a meth addict, and he spirals away from his supportive family and further towards his reliance on drugs and alcohol. His journalist father David (Steve Carell) makes sincere attempts to understand his son's disease, but risks pushing him further away in the process as he tries to remain supportive while also nudging Nic towards rehabilitation.
David's desire to understand his son's addiction through factual, journalistic research sees him turn to the familiar in search of the unknown. At the same time, the shame of being dependent on drugs haunts Nic in tandem with his desire for another fix. Chalamet flits between aching vulnerability and frustrated mania, a whirlwind of energy and emotion that proves his star turn in 2017 was no fluke.
An early confrontation between Carell and Chalamet in a diner demonstrates the latter's ability to capture fragility without straying into manipulative sentimentality, but he's not afraid to show Nic's destructive nature either, as he steals from his family in order to fund his addiction. It's as easy to root for Nic as it is to become frustrated with his relapse-recovery cycle.
Meanwhile, Carrel proves the perfect foil, stoic as he fights his own feelings of failure in being unable to help his son see that life is worth more than what's offered by the tip of a needle. Van Groeningen offers a delicately non-judgemental insight into the specific hell that is meth addiction, but is also concerned with providing an authentic family portrait, examining the intricacies of father-son relationships and how familial expectations can shape a child's development.
He appears less interested in the causes of addiction than its devastating effects, particularly on Nic's immediate family, including his half-siblings, who idolise their troubled older brother. As Nic chases his next high, his family chase the version of him they knew before the drugs, and struggle with the realisation that simply loving a person may not be enough to save their life.
Although the narrative structure itself is a little shaky and repetitive, when viewed as a character study Beautiful Boy becomes a triumph of performance and emotional nuance. Grainy flashbacks show the Sheff family in happier times, when seemingly infinite possibilities stretched out ahead of them. It's the human cost of addiction which really hits home, and in offering no easy answers or trite sentiments, Beautiful Boy does justice to both the people fighting this affliction, and those doing everything in their power to help.

Pé de Serra é um município brasileiro do estado da Bahia, situado na Região Sisaleira, Região Geográfica Imediata de Feira de Santana. Está situado a 220 quilômetros de sua capital, Salvador. O acesso é realizado por meio da BR-324 e da BA-233, percorrendo 19 quilômetros nesta última rodovia, até a sede do município. O distrito-sede está localizado entre duas montanhas, que deu origem ao nome da cidade. Foi emancipado em 20 de março de 1985 e sua população estimada, conforme estimativa do IBGE em 2017 é de 14.226 e área territorial de 596,770 km².

Os limites do município são com os municípios de Riachão do Jacuípe, Ipirá (este município também é fronteira entre a região sisaleira e a Chapada Diamantina), Nova Fátima, Capela do Alto Alegre e Pintadas.

História

Conta-se que por volta de 1745, três irmãos portugueses explorando uma vasta região em busca de terras férteis, acamparam próximo a Riachão do Jacuípe, na época, uma fazenda de gado. Certa vez continuando o trabalho exploratório, levaram consigo uma cadela que se perdeu, reaparecendo dias depois no acampamento. Deram a ela água e comida. Surpreendendo a todos, a cadela comeu o alimento oferecido, mas não bebeu a água embora fosse tempo de seca.

Desconfiados, passaram a observá-la. Algum tempo depois perceberam a cadela entrar em uma moita de gravatá e de lá sair toda molhada. Dessa forma foi descoberto um poço minadouro, ao qual deram o nome de Brejo do Pé de Serra (daí veio nome Pé de Serra).

Formação Administrativa

Elevado à categoria de município com a denominação de Pé de Serra, pela Lei nº 4.411, de 19.03.1985, desmembrado de Riachão do Jacuípe. Sede no atual distrito de Pé da Serra (ex-povoado).

Subdivisões

O município de Pé de Serra está oficialmente dividido apenas no distrito-sede. No entanto há vários povoados, que são áreas urbanas formadas ou em formação afastadas da sede do município. Os principais povoados são: Santo Agostinho, Aroeira, Caldeirão do Negro, Santo Antônio,  Lagoa do Curral e Lagoa do Pé do Morro.

Demografia

A evolução demográfica do município é baixa. A população sofreu um enorme deficit, passando de 17.048 em 1991 para 14.683 em 2008. A causa mais provável para este fato, talvez seja a evasão (migração) para outras regiões mais desenvolvidas no próprio estado, principalmente a Região Metropolitana de Salvador e Feira de Santana, e para outros estados, especificamente São Paulo.

A população de Pé de Serra é formada basicamente por brancos, pardos e negros. A população branca é formada na maioria pelos descendentes de colonos portugueses, e até mesmo de alguns espanhóis e holandeses. Os negros são os descendentes de escravos. A religião predominante em Pé de Serra é a Católica Romana, mas a presença de outras religiões já é visível, principalmente a Evangélica.

Infraestrutura

Educação
Apesar do quadro de desigualdade social com o qual convive, o município conta com 53 colégios de ensino fundamental, sendo 48 na zona rural, 2 escolas de ensino médio, sendo estas estaduais, e uma biblioteca. Também possui algumas escolas particulares. O acesso ao ensino superior já está disponível, mas em instituições localizadas em Feira de Santana e Nova Fátima. De acordo com o censo do IBGE, em 2004 havia 3.668 pessoas matriculadas no ensino fundamental, 689 no ensino médio e um corpo docente de 248 para ambos os ensinos.

Saúde
Atualmente o município vem vivendo uma grande expansão nos serviços de saúde com a ativação de novos serviços tanto no setor público quanto no privado, diminuindo a dependência que os munícipes tinham dos equipamentos de cidades próximas como Feira de Santana, Riachão do Jacuípe e Salvador. No que concerne aos estabelecimentos de Atenção Básica, são cinco Unidades de Saúde da Família - USF, duas unidades satélite que são referenciadas por equipes ESF de outras unidades, Unidade Básica de Saúde - UBS e uma equipe de Núcleo de Apoio à Saúde na Família - NASF.

Deste modo, são cinco equipes da estratégia de saúde da família (médicos, enfermeiros, técnicos de enfermagem), de saúde bucal (dentistas e auxiliares) e PACS - Programa dos Agentes Comunitários de Saúde. Ainda neste nível de atenção tem a oferta de atendimentos e procedimentos com profissionais de: nutrição, psicologia, educação física, fisioterapia, cardiologia, fonoaudiologia, ginecologia, serviço social, exames laboratoriais, eletrocardiograma, pediatria e ortopedia.

No âmbito da média e alta complexidade, além da sobredita pactuação com municípios onde existem maiores ofertas de serviços, o setor público dispõe de um Centro de Atenção Psicossocial - CAPS e o Hospital Municipal Isadora Alencar. No primeiro a equipe conta com profissionais de saúde mental realizando atendimentos individuais e coletivos, visitas domiciliares, entre outras atividades no acompanhamento de pacientes com transtorno mental grave e persistente. No segundo, há profissionais de medicina, enfermagem, auxiliares e equipe de apoio 24 horas por dia, 7 dias por semana.

Economia
A Prefeitura e o INSS são os principais responsáveis pela injeção de recursos na economia do município. De um lado os servidores públicos municipais e do outro os aposentados e pensionistas do Instituto Nacional da Seguridade Social, são fontes certas de recursos financeiros mensais para a economia do município. A atividade econômica do município, todavia, baseia-se principalmente na agricultura e pecuária.

A Coelba é a distribuidora de energia elétrica no município, com atendimento da população nas zonas urbana e rural. O registro de consumo elétrico residencial (kWh/hab.) é de 29,13 e está em 379º no ranking dos municípios baianos. Seu parque hoteleiro registra 20 leitos.

O abastecimento de água é feito pela Embasa, sendo que 26,9% domicílios possuem acesso à água encanada, tanto nas áreas urbanas como em algumas regiões rurais. No setor de bens minerais, o município é produtor de manganês e quartzo.

No ramo industrial, destaca-se as padarias e confeitarias, e fábrica de calçados.

Agricultura

O sisal, também conhecido como agave, é o principal cultivo permanente realizado no município. Segundo estimativas do IBGE, existem aproximadamente 150 hectares destinados à produção, e a quantidade produzida em 2012 foi equivalente a 68 toneladas.

Além da produção do sisal, outros bens também são produzidos, em caráter temporário, como o feijão (182 toneladas), o milho (198 toneladas) e a mandioca (421 toneladas), além de [outros produtos. No entanto, as plantações estão cada vez mais escassas na zona rural do município, haja vista a franca expansão dos rebanhos. Há também a extração vegetal e silvicultura, onde destaca-se o umbu e a lenha.

Pecuária
Na pecuária destacam-se a criação de bovinos (31.902 cabeças), ovinos (15.996 cabeças),suínos (2.778 cabeças) e caprinos (2.106 cabeças), além dos rebanhos de equinos (1.120 cabeças), asininos (1.188 cabeças) e muares (417 cabeças). No município há também algumas granjas, onde os frangos são exportados para outros municípios. São estimados 20.361 cabeças em produção, e 78 mil dúzias de ovos. A pecuária leiteira do município também contribui para o desenvolvimento fábricos (laticínios) que produzem desde o tradicional requeijão até o iogurte, além da crescente especialização na produção de queijo, a estimativa do IBGE em 2012 é de 4.800 litros de leite para 9.000 cabeças de vacas ordenhadas. Essa produção, em sua maioria, é comercializada nos municípios de Salvador, Feira de Santana, Camaçari e Juazeiro, todos na Bahia.

Turismo

Não há muita atividade turística em Pé de Serra, todavia, algumas atividades culturais que atraem visitantes de algumas regiões do país, que geralmente são pessoas que moravam ou tem parentes no município.

Há uma tradição muito forte de na sexta-feira da paixão subirem-se aos cruzeiros que ficam na Serra do Leão e em alguns montes que rodeiam a cidade. Além disso, subir tanto na Serra do Leão, como no Monte Belo, é um ato de muita adrenalina e contato com a natureza exuberante do serrado. Por isso centenas de pessoas fazem essa "peregrinação" todos os anos. É também nesta época que geralmente ocorre a Micareta de Pé de Serra, denominada "Pascareta".

Locais para visitas
 Praça e Igreja Matriz
 Brejo do Pé de Serra
 Monte Belo
 Serra do Leão
 Serra do Bugio
 Morro da Magra
Parque Serra do Leão

Lazer
No início do ano, logo no dia 6 de janeiro, é comemorada a festa de vaqueiros e fazendeiros, com participação maciça da população local e de turistas, muitos atraídos pelos shows musicais e outros tantos pelo encanto do aboio vaqueiro, pelas corridas, pelos concursos de marcha e desfiles. Em março, pela comemoração do aniversário do município, há visitas movidos pelo interesse na já tradicional e emocionante maratona, onde ocorre desfile cívico.

Cultura

Feriados municipais
São feriados municipais na cidade:

6 de janeiro - Festa de Vaqueiro e Fazendeiros
20 de março - Aniversário da cidade
6 de agosto - Bom Jesus de Pé de Serra, Padroeiro da Cidade
7 de dezembro - Dia do Evangélico

Além dos outros feriados válidos para todo o Brasil e para a Bahia.

Esportes
O esporte principal de Pé de Serra é como em todos os outros municípios brasileiros o futebol, em que se destaca o campeonato pé-de-serrense que é disputado todos os anos. De Pé de Serra já saíram grandes craques como Mizael ex-jogador de Futebol que atuou pelo Fluminense de Feira de Santana sagrando-se bicampeão baiano nos anos de 1963 e 1969, Bubu, Pedro Rouco, Ubiratan, Birineco, Moacy de Boqueirão, Rondinele Lima , Washington Freitas Ambos do Povoado Santo Antônio, Luiz Ubiratan,Antonio Lunguinho, Telmo, Paulo Matos (já atuou em clubes como: São Paulo Futebol Clube , Náutico, Vitória, Gama, Paraná Clube, criciuma entre outros) , Natan que atualmente defende o Santa Cruz - PE, Garotinho Felipe que atualmente está no Bahia e garoto Magno que joga pelo Bahia de feira.Há outras modalidades de esportes que não são apoiadas pelos dirigentes locais como capoeira, judô, vôlei, entre outras, mas com esforço essas artes hoje estão vivas graças ao amor que os praticantes tem, que com esforço próprio não deixarão elas morrerem.

Páscoa
Na páscoa, a cidade muda. As pessoas ficam mais próximas e solidárias. No sábado de páscoa, pela tarde, a Charanga faz a famosa lavagem, arrastando uma multidão eufórica pelas ruas da cidade, dançando ao som dos sambas-de-lavagem, marchinhas de carnaval e outras melodias. Pela noite, finalmente, há a queima do "Judas" em praça pública. Esse espetáculo é uma atração a parte para os turistas, pois não é apenas uma queima de fogos, é uma explosão de alegria motivada pela fascinação da arte pirotécnica. Mas antes de queima do Judas faz-se a leitura de seu testamento, que é uma crônica dos principais fatos e personagens que marcaram no último ano.

Festas Juninas
Os festejos juninos, todavia, são a principal manifestação cultural do município que atrai turistas de todo o país. A comemoração junina é por muitos aguardada com muita expectativa, vez que é uma data em que o espírito da cidade se engradece, a alegria e a descontração toma conta das pessoas que dançam muito forró "pé de serra" e aproveitam a culinária típica. A praça principal da cidade fica pequena para tanta gente, mas, incrivelmente, sempre há lugar para mais uma.
