The first one is Google tools for business.

Secondly is NationalField, that acts as an internal Facebook for a particular company. It is also a startup that was born during the Obama campaign for presidency by the person that ran it.

more about this here.

But if the salvation comes for God and not from the irrigation system, so the weather messed if the farmes plans. I recently went to a farm where 50 hectares were cultivated with rapeseed – but because of the drought and little snowing, the plants were only 2 cm not 15. The result: almost 90% is lost. Judging that they plantes rapeseed on almost 182.000 hectare..the loss is estimated at 250 millions of euros.

Maybe with the recent snow ..maybe they will save smtg.

ROMANIA’S WINTER OF DISCONTENT 

THEY have been called “worms”, “violent and inept slum-dwellers”, and “suckers”. And yet hundreds of them, exasperated about austerity measures, political incompetence and lack of public consultation over laws, keep coming out on to the freezing winter streets of Bucharest and other Romanian cities to urge the president and government to resign.

What I wonder is, giving the fact that is hasn’t rained in the last months, if instead of looking at the sky the solution isn’t a organisation of producers or maybe leasing the land if you cannot cultivate it.

In some recents talks with producers, some said that the authorities must do something to cure the drought. This reminded me of former ex-minister of Agriculture that responded to a farmer that was angry that it’s bees didn’t produce honey like in the previous year. He said that “what can the minister do, it cannot take the role of the bees and pollinate the flowers”.

I don’t say that the authorities are right, but I think that they could think of their own irrigations systems if they see that the Minister isn’t taking action or propose a common plan. But rely on God and authorities, these two aren’t going to transform our agriculture into a performing one.

I also have an example from my personal experience. In the summer time my parents take care of my grandparents. My dad waters the cucumbers and tomatoes every day. And there isn’t a day passing by that a man in the village isn’t passing by and saying that “why are you doing that, maybe it will rain”.

Norwegians have eaten up the country’s entire stockpile of butter, partly as the result of a “low-carb” diet sweeping the Nordic nation which emphasizes a higher intake of fats.

Butter is now selling on Norway’s top auction website, with a 250-gram piece starting at around $13 (8.28 pounds), roughly four times its normal price.

Iar acum, chinezii de la Huaweii vor sa reediteze succesul obtinut si vor aduce si in Europa un telefon Android la doar 100 de euro si care va fi vandut in magazinele Lidl.

Cei de la Adidas nu s-au lasat si au intrat si ei pe piata cu o oferta pentru cei cu buzunare mai mult goale. Astfel, presedintele Adidas, Herbert Hainer, a anuntat intr-un interviu ca grupul german de echipamente sportive va lansa, in India, o pereche de pantofi sport la pretul de un dolar (0,74 euro), dupa esecul aceluiasi proiect in Bangladesh, scrie AFP. Practic, ar putea avea succes zic eu. Mai ales ca, in India, clasa de mijloc este numeroasa si tinde sa isi creasca veniturile.

Noua lista face sa fie foarte clar, de exemplu, ca la unele categorii de alimente sunt autorizati foarte putini aditivi sau chiar sunt complet interzisi. Asa se intampla, de exemplu, in cazul iaurtului nearomatizat, al untului, al compotului, al pastelor fainoase, al painii simple, al mierii, al apei si al sucului de fructe.

In alte categorii, de regula cele privind produse alimentare cu grad inalt de prelucrare – precum, de exemplu, dulciurile, snackurile, sosurile si bauturile aromatizate – se autorizeaza un numar mare de aditivi.

Autoritatea Europeana pentru Siguranta Alimentara (EFSA) trebuie sa reevalueze toti aditivii pana in 2020. Colorantii alimentari sunt primii pe lista de prioritati. Saptesprezece colorantii au fost deja reevaluati. Datorita unor noi informatii stiintifice, se acorda prioritate mai mare indulcitorului aspartam, care va fi reevaluat pana in septembrie 2012.

Aici este lista aditivilor alimentari.

a ballerina, a spider or and demon angel? You can have it all from old pieces of keyboards. Interesting, right? A Romanian artist spends hours in designing and creating these brooches.

More on handmade in Romania in a recent article written by my colleague Gabi.

one rooster

another two

I found Milka. Not only one, but many of them

and some sheeps

some traditional bread

and sausages..but I doubt they were traditional..

What I noticed this year: there were more honey producers. Yes, unfortunetely Romania has a lot of honey producers but the consumption is low.

And there were also more bio producers, but yet again half of them were honey ones..I am not against honey, God knows I eat impressive quantities, but maybe it is better to develop more sector.

Dar cu toate acestea nu putem spune ca s-a renuntat definitiv la nuantele alb/negru/ gri si bej/maro care s-au purtat toamna trecuta. Fetelor, puteti sa purtati orice culoare vreti numai sa stiti sa le asortati bine.Fiecare fata este si va fi diferita asa ca mai important lucru e va imbracati cu ce vi se potriveste.
