				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">North Dalmatia is a region in Croatia. It is an ideal vacation destination that lots of merely overlook. Do not make that oversight, simply because this region offers quite a bit when it comes to beauty, history and fun.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">North Dalmatia consists of the city of Zadar, the coast coming from the Kvarner Riviera up to the Split, and lots of isles in the Zadar island chain. Listed here are the top places to go to make the holiday to Croatia full.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Zadar</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Zadar is the capital city of Dalmatia, It is an historic city. The old town wall structure that previously surrounded the town still stands. There’s a lot of history to discover, such as many remarkable ancient structures, like the Church of St. Donat, constructed in the 9th century AD by Emperor Constantine.</p>
<div id="attachment_14984" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 660px"><a href="http://www.plusthings.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Zadar.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-14984" src="http://www.plusthings.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Zadar-650x418.jpg" width="650" height="418" title="Amazing of North Dalmatia" alt="Zadar 650x418 on  Amazing of North Dalmatia" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Zadar</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Sibenik</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In contrast to other towns across the Adriatic coastline, the town of Sibenik isn’t a consequence of Greek or Roman influence. It goes back to the 11th century and is the earliest Slavic town. Make sure to visit the St. James’s Cathedral. This spectacular structure was constructed from marble and limestone and is on the World Heritage list by UNESCO.</p>
<div id="attachment_14985" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 660px"><a href="http://www.plusthings.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Sibenik.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-14985" src="http://www.plusthings.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Sibenik-650x418.jpg" width="650" height="418" title="Amazing of North Dalmatia" alt="Sibenik 650x418 on  Amazing of North Dalmatia" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Sibenik</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Kornati Islands</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Kornati Islands are made of around 150 isles, many of them are uninhabited. The island chain has been proclaimed to a National Park due to its untamed beauty and marbled beaches. Going through the area by boat will give you the best chance to see everything the Kornati Isles have to give. Be sure you see the several lighthouses, the astonishing bridge which links the isles of pasman and Ugljan that is usually known as the gateway to Kornati, and also the concealed therapeutic lake on Dugi Otok, close to the Telascica Bay.</p>
<div id="attachment_14986" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 660px"><a href="http://www.plusthings.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Kornati.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-14986" src="http://www.plusthings.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Kornati-650x431.jpg" width="650" height="431" title="Amazing of North Dalmatia" alt="Kornati 650x431 on  Amazing of North Dalmatia" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Kornati Islands</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>National Park Krka</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The National Park Krka comes with an incredible 7 waterfalls, along with the well-known Skradinski Buk Falls. The park consists of two-thirds of the river that runs through a canyon and creates the lakes, regions of rapids, and the attractive falls.</p>
<div id="attachment_14987" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 660px"><a href="http://www.plusthings.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/National-Park-Krka.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-14987" src="http://www.plusthings.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/National-Park-Krka-650x487.jpg" width="650" height="487" title="Amazing of North Dalmatia" alt="National Park Krka 650x487 on  Amazing of North Dalmatia" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">National Park Krka</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Paklenica National Park</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Paklenica National Park gives a gorgeous backdrop for climbing, hiking, or cycling. Two places that are worth a visit would definitely be Manita Pec cavern and the Marasovici Ethno House.</p>
<div id="attachment_14988" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 660px"><a href="http://www.plusthings.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Paklenica-National-Park.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-14988" src="http://www.plusthings.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Paklenica-National-Park-650x532.jpg" width="650" height="532" title="Amazing of North Dalmatia" alt="Paklenica National Park 650x532 on  Amazing of North Dalmatia" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Paklenica National Park</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Island Pag</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A vacation to North Dalmatia wouldn’t be whole with no trip to the Island Pag. This isle, the 2nd longest in the Adriatic Sea, is renowned for the powerful winds, paski cheese and lace making.</p>
<div id="attachment_14989" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 660px"><a href="http://www.plusthings.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Island-Pag.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-14989" src="http://www.plusthings.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Island-Pag-650x433.jpg" width="650" height="433" title="Amazing of North Dalmatia" alt="Island Pag 650x433 on  Amazing of North Dalmatia" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Island Pag</p></div>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Pope Francis didn’t intend to perform an exorcism Sunday in Rome when he prayed over a wheelchair-bound man.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, if demons fled the man’s body as a result, well, that’s just a bonus.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Or at least so says the Vatican.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On Tuesday, the Holy See released a statement that said Pope Francis didn’t perform the ancient ritual in front of TV cameras despite claims to the contrary.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“The Holy Father had no intention to perform any exorcism,” the Rev. Federico Lombardi said, <a href="http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2013/05/21/vatican-pope-didnt-perform-exorcism/" target="_blank">according to CNN</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“Instead, as he frequently does for the sick and suffering persons who approach him, he simply meant to pray for a suffering person who was presented to him.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">During a mass Sunday in St. Peter’s Square, cameras captured the pope greeting a line of visitors.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>More from Blog Media</strong>:<strong> <a title="VIDEO: Pope Francis suspected of exorcism practice" href="http://www.foxcrawl.com/2013/05/21/video-pope-francis-suspected-of-exorcism-practice/" rel="bookmark">VIDEO: Pope Francis suspected of exorcism practice</a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">He stops in front of a man in a wheelchair, exchanges words with his companions before laying his hands on the man’s head.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The man’s mouth opens a few times and he appears to struggle for breath or at least appears overwhelmed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Exorcism experts who saw the video say there’s no doubt what happened.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Gabriele Amorth, the Vatican’s former exorcist, told media it “was an exorcism alright and if Father Lombardi denies this, he clearly does not have a clue.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“That was a real exorcism and what is more, the boy the pope exorcized came to me today,” Amorth said, according to Agence France-Presse.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“His name is Angelo and he is possessed by four demons. I performed a long exorcism on him.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Pope Francis has often referenced the devil or demons in his sermons, the <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2013/05/21/pope-francis-exorcism/2347197/" target="_blank">Associated Press</a> said.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">He went as far as telling bishops that those who don’t pray to God, “prays to the devil.”</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">A giant tornado, a mile wide or more, killed at least 91 people, 20 of them children, as it tore across parts of Oklahoma City and its suburbs Monday afternoon, flattening homes, flinging cars through the air and crushing at least two schools.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The injured flooded into hospitals, and the authorities said many people remained trapped, even as rescue workers struggled to make their way through debris-clogged streets to the devastated suburb of Moore, where much of the damage occurred.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Amy Elliott, the spokeswoman for the Oklahoma City medical examiner, said at least 91 people had died, including the children, and officials said that toll was likely to climb. Hospitals reported at least 145 p</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">A massive, mile-wide tornado touched down in Oklahoma on Monday, killing at least 91 people and injuring 120 as it tore through towns near Oklahoma City.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-22604251" target="_blank">The BBC</a>, <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/may/21/oklahoma-city-tornado-live-updates" target="_blank">the Guardian</a> and several other news outlets both put the feared toll at 91.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://twitter.com/AC360/status/336670825577058304" target="_blank">Anderson Cooper 360 is now reporting</a> that at least 20 of the 51 who have died are children.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">President Barack Obama had declared a major disaster in the state, the BBC wrote.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The town of <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/21/us/tornado-oklahoma.html?_r=0" target="_blank">Moore had catastrophic damage</a>, where homes were flattened, cars were flung through the air and two elementary schools packed with children were destroyed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Several children were pulled out of the rubble of Plaza Towers Elementary alive, but there were no immediate reports of the number of rescued at Briarwood Elementary. Of the 120 injured and being treated at three hospitals, about 70 are children, some from Plaza Towers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>More from PlusThings Media: <a title="Australian Tropical cyclone “Oswald” photos" href="http://www.plusthings.com/australian-tropical-cyclone-oswald-photos/">Australian Tropical cyclone “Oswald” photos</a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One patient was 9-year-old Kaileigh Hawkins, who was at one of the schools that was hit by the tornado. She is doing fine, but hospital officials have not been able to reach her parents.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Moore Medical Center was also severely damaged when its roof was ripped off. No one was injured, but staff had to relocate 30 patients to nearby Norman and another hospital.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Witnesses reported seeing rescue workers pulling bodies from the rubble in several locations.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Numerous neighborhoods are completely leveled,&#8221; Sgt. Gary Knight of the Oklahoma City Police Department told The New York Times by telephone. &#8220;Neighborhoods just wiped clean.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">State Governor <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/may/20/oklahoma-tornado-moore-live-blog" target="_blank">Mary Fallin gave a press conference</a> at around 9 p.m. local time and said authorities have asked that civilians stay away from the disaster area.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;We have tremendous traffic jams on high ways that took a direct hit and there are many sides streets jammed up,&#8221; she noted.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fallin also said that she would be taking an aerial tour of the area tomorrow with the National Guard.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Please know we are working as quickly as we can. There are a tremendous amount of people involved,&#8221; Fallin said. &#8220;For those who are not involved please stay away from the direct vicinity so that we can take in the type of services that we need.&#8221;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Ray Manzarek, keyboardist and founding member of The Doors, died Monday in Germany after a long battle with cancer, aged 74.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">His death was announced in a statement on the iconic band&#8217;s <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thedoors" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>, which added that he died  surrounded by his wife and brothers in a clinic in Rosenheim.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/ray-manzarek-founding-member-of-the-doors-dies-at-74/2013/05/20/89f91aec-c198-11e2-ab60-67bba7be7813_gallery.html#photo=1" target="_blank">The Washington Post ran </a>a photo gallery in his honor.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Manzarek formed The Doors with Jim Morrison in 1965 after the two met by chance in Venice Beach, California, where both were film students, <a href="http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/arts/music/article3770397.ece?CMP=OTH-gnws-standard-2013_05_21" target="_blank">according to The Times of London</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Morrison died in the bath in his Paris apartment of a suspected drug overdose in 1971, aged 27.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On July 7, 2011, two remaining members of legendary rock group — Manzarek and guitarist Robby Krieger — <a href="http://en.rian.ru/art_living/20110209/162525163.html" target="_blank">played their first ever concert in Russia </a>to mark the 40th anniversary of Morrison&#8217;s death.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Doors was one of the most successful bands on the Billboard 200 albums chart in the late 1960s and early 1970s, racking up seven top 10 releases between 1967 and 1971, <a href="http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/1563042/the-doors-a-billboard-chart-history" target="_blank">according to the Billboard website</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Doors&#8217; self-titled debut album was released on Elektra Records in 1967 and went on to spend two weeks at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart, second only to the Beatles&#8217; No. 1 &#8220;Sgt. Pepper&#8217;s Lonely Hearts Club Band&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Light My Fire&#8221; helped it stay 121 weeks on the Billboard 200, with the track itself at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for three weeks, as the first of 16 Hot 100 hits for the band.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">A single winner in Florida has beaten incredible odds and will take home the entire $590.5 million Powerball jackpot.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The lucky ticket was sold at a Publix supermarket in Zephyrhills, Fla., outside of Tampa, <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57585196/lottery-officials-confirm-lone-winning-record-powerball-ticket/" target="_blank">according to Florida Lottery executive Cindy O&#8217;Connell.</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;This would be the sixth Florida Powerball winner and right now, it&#8217;s the sole winner of the largest ever Powerball jackpot,&#8221; O&#8217;Connell told the Associated Press.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;We&#8217;re delighted right now that we have the sole winner.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Florida has had more than its share of luck when it comes to Powerball. It&#8217;s produced <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57585196/lottery-officials-confirm-lone-winning-record-powerball-ticket/" target="_blank">more jackpot winners</a> than any other state.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The lone winner defied some seriously tough odds to take home the prize. Lottery officials put the chance of winning at 1 in 175.2 million.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But that didn&#8217;t stop Americans from lining up at convenience stores and gas stations to pick up their $2 chance to <a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-powerball-numbers-20130518,0,3518238.story" target="_blank">become an overnight multi-millionaire.</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;As long as the odds are 1 in anything, I&#8217;m in,&#8221; marketing professional Becky Arreaga told Reuters. &#8220;I truly believe I could be the one.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The jackpot of the 43-state lottery was originally expected to surpass $600 million &#8211; the second highest ever &#8211; but was later revised down to a little over $590 million.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Lottery officials did not say if the ticket had been claimed yet but once the lucky person claims their prize, the will have the option to take home one lump sum of roughly $377 million.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">According to NBC News, &#8220;The very day you cash in your winning ticket you&#8217;ll be hit with a withholding that is deducted immediately from your payout. Then, next April, you’ll pay whatever additional tax you owe based on the bracket you’re in after you add up all your other earnings&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Luckily for the winner, Florida does not charge any state tax on lottery earnings.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The winning Powerball numbers drawn late Saturday were 10, 13, 14, 22, 52 with Powerball number 11.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Two FBI agents have been killed in a training accident in Virginia, officials said Sunday.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The accident, which occurred Friday, involved members of the FBI&#8217;s elite Hostage Rescue Team, <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/fbi-agents-killed-training-accident-va-19212779#.UZl-YXBOSUU" target="_blank">AP reported.</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The victims were identified as Christopher Lorek, 41, and Stephen Shaw, 40.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">No details on how it happened were disclosed, but an FBI spokeswoman in the Norfolk area said the deaths did not involve gunfire, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-fbi-agents-killed-in-accident/2013/05/19/daa68c76-c0d1-11e2-8bd8-2788030e6b44_story.html" target="_blank">the Washington Post reported.</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Other media reports said it involved a helicopter but officials would not elaborate on the circumstances surrounding the tragedy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Officials said Lorek, who joined the FBI in 1996, is survived by his wife and two daughters, aged 11 and 8.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Shaw had been in the FBI for eight years and is survived by his wife, and two young children.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">FBI director Robert Mueller paid tribute to the men, describing them as &#8220;brave and courageous&#8221;, <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/05/19/two-fbi-agents-with-hostage-rescue-team-killed-in-training-accident/" target="_blank">Fox News reported.</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Like all who serve on the Hostage Rescue Team, they accept the highest risk each and every day, when training and on operational missions, to keep our nation safe,&#8221; he said in a statement.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Our hearts are with their wives, children, and other loved ones who feel their loss most deeply. And they will always be part of the FBI Family.&#8221;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">George Michael remained hospitalized on Friday, one day after he was injured during a car crash in England.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The 49-year-old former star of Wham! was the only person injured when the Range Rover he was traveling in collided with another vehicle.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Paramedics airlifted Michael to hospital with head injuries, but his representatives said he was recovering quickly, <a href="http://news.sky.com/story/1092287/george-michael-car-crash-star-flown-to-hospital" target="_blank">Sky News</a> said.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“George Michael was a passenger in a vehicle involved in a traffic accident on Thursday evening, no third party was involved,” the representative told Sky.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“He is being treated for superficial cuts and bruises but is fine. We have no further comment at this time.”</p>
<p><a href="http://www.plusthings.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/George-Michael-tour-cancelled.jpg"><img src="http://www.plusthings.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/George-Michael-tour-cancelled-350x233.jpg" width="350" height="233" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-14943" title="George Michael suffers head injuries after car crash" alt="George Michael tour cancelled 350x233 on  George Michael suffers head injuries after car crash" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The crash happened north of London during rush hour on the M1, a busy English highway.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“The man who we believe to be in his 40s sustained a head injury and following treatment, stabilization and immobilization by land and air ambulance crews, he was flown to hospital for further care,” an ambulance spokesman told <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-22571754" target="_blank">BBC</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Michael, whose real name is Georgios Panayiotou, was a passenger in the vehicle because he’s banned from driving.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In 2010, he <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2013/may/17/george-michael-car-crash-m1" target="_blank">crashed his Range Rover</a> into a camera store while high on dope. A judge sentenced him to eight weeks in jail, fined him 1,250 pounds ($1,900) and banned him from driving for five years.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jorge_Rafael_Videla">Jorge Rafael Videla</a>, Argentina&#8217;s former president, died on May 17, 2013, at the age of 87 in a jail cell where he was imprisoned.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Videla ruled between 1976 and 1981, during Argentina&#8217;s military dictatorship, a period marked by death that left thousands of people <a href="http://karlosdesanjuan.blogspot.com.ar/2013/05/murio-el-ex-dictador-argentino-jorge.html">missing</a> [es].</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In 1983 the former dictator was judged and condemned to life-prison for crimes against humanity. In 2010 Videla was <a href="http://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/ultimas/20-159145-2010-12-22.html">sentenced</a> [es] to life in prison for the torture and shooting of 31 political prisoners, and in 2012 he was sentenced to another 50 years in jail for the <a href="http://ciperchile.cl/radar/argentina-50-anos-de-carcel-para-ex-dictador-videla-por-robo-de-recien-nacidos/">kidnapping</a> [es] of newborns during the dictatorship.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.plusthings.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Jorge-Videla.jpg"><img src="http://www.plusthings.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Jorge-Videla-350x233.jpg" width="350" height="233" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-14940" title="Jorge Videla, Argentinas Ex Military Leader, Dies in Jail " alt="Jorge Videla 350x233 on  Jorge Videla, Argentinas Ex Military Leader, Dies in Jail " /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">An <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/mundo/noticias/2013/05/130517_videla_obituario_rg.shtml">obituary</a> [es] by BBC World says: “He was one of the most controversial and hated men in Argentina, under his regime close to 30,000 people died or disappeared according to human rights organizations.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In 1990, Videla was pardoned for his crimes by then-President Carlos Menem in an attempt to move the country past its painful history. However, the supreme court upheld the overturning of the pardon in 2010, and Videla was tried and convicted.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The trial of those involved in the dirty war was hailed as historic in Argentina.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“For the first time the members of a military junta are being tried by civilian courts for the crimes they committed during a dictatorship,” Ernesto Sabato, the Argentine novelist and head of the investigative commission, said at the time, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/18/world/americas/jorge-rafael-videla-argentina-military-leader-in-dirty-war-dies-at-87.html?_r=0" target="_blank">The New York Times reported</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The general also survived numerous assassination attempts, including one in 1977 when a bomb exploded on a runway in Buenos Aires near a plane he was on.</p>
