POPSCroatia is Going Gangbusters Croatia is going gangbusters, blowing the gasket on glamour. The Adriatic coast has a loungey Italian vibe, while Rovinj has a cobblestoned charm. There are impressive Roman ruins to explore, and at the end of it, the restored city of Dubrovnik will be ready with the drinks.

POPSOctopus and propaganda and octopus and... there are strange and beautiful sites out there, and some of them are interesting and very specific. The representation of the Octopus in propaganda and political cartoons, and influence on, or co-option of, popular culture. The intent behind Vulgar Army is to identify and criticise themes in the use of the octopus as a polemic metaphor, for example, its use as signifying 'action at a distance' or in dehumanising a group.

POPSFacebook Organization Of Anti-Government Member Arrested
from the movie 'How Grinch Stole Christmas'. a reference to the green-faced character from the movie 'How Grinch Stole Christmas'. The group's activities were widely reported in local media, but provoked no reaction from the government or police. The police first turned on Facebookers last week, after Niksa Klecak, a member of the main opposition party, the Social Democrats, launched a group called "I bet I can find 5,000 Facebookers who dislike Sanader." In a matter of days, the group grew to almost 12,000 members compared to 27 members of two groups that support Sanader. Police detained and interrogated Klecak last Friday. It said they had acted because he posted a photo montage portrait of Sanader in a Nazi uniform -- which violated Croatia's law banning Nazi propaganda. "Facebook is a great thing... and everyone has a right to show their discontent but if you promote hatred, a totalitarian regime, that is not good, that is not satire.

POPSNo Swimming in the Adriatic Sea "The southern Adria microplate is covered by a thick layer of buoyant rocks called carbonates," said lead researcher Richard A. Bennett of the University of Arizona in Tucson. Carbonates get piled up on the seafloor in front of the moving plate, forming new islands. Over millions of years the islands are squeezed together like folds in an accordion, which creates new additions to the nearby Dinaric Alps. What's more, the fault is causing the southern "boot heel" of Italy to move toward the Croatian coast at a rate of about 0.16 inch (0.4 centimeter) a year, while the Adriatic seafloor is sliding under Croatia. The new fault spans at least 124 miles (200 kilometers) along the seafloor northwest of Dubrovnik in southern Croatia It runs under the Dalmatians, which consist of 1,185 islands off Croatia's coast that have become a popular tourist destination..

POPSA Mobile Sea Barrier To Save Sinking Venice The project is building 78 floodgates at the 3 inlets that link the Venice lagoon to the Adriatic Sea. When the giant doors are at rest, they will be lying on the bottom of the inlet channel, invisible to the world. Each gate will be up to 92 feet long, 65 feet wide, and will weigh 300 tons. The gates allow one inlet to close and not the other so you are not obliged to close the whole lagoon. Some 37 percent of the work has been completed, and MOSE should open as planned in 2012.
